A fire at a single-family home didn't initially appear serious to Angie Roach; when she and her fellow firefighters arrived on the scene, there was minimal smoke emitting from the structure. The fire, however, was raging in the basement, and when she set foot on the subflooring, it gave way, sending Roach directly into the flames.
Firefighters eventually rescued her, but the damage had been done. She suffered third- and fourth-degree burns on 45 percent of her body. It was a career-ending experience. "After my accident, my life changed tremendously," says Roach. "I was a very active person. I've been married a couple of years. Everything was perfect in my life. Then I was burned. It took me several months to realize I was not the same person I was before the fire."
Roach puts a human face to fire's devastating effects. Her story is one of a number highlighted via the Faces of Fire Campaign, a component of NFPA's Fire Sprinkler Initiative that uses testimony from individuals affected by fire to promote home fire sprinklers in one- and two-family dwellings. Sprinkler advocates feel it's easier to convince legislators and state decision makers on the life-saving benefits of sprinklers after hearing stories like Roach's.
"Had that residence had residential sprinklers...I would have been able to continue my career as a firefighter," she says. Check out the following video highlighting Roach's story, and don't forget to take a look at the other personal stories from the Faces of Fire Campaign.

Gideon and anomaly-travelling Ethan all join the team, but are they ready for
the challenges ahead?
As Connor and Abby finally escape the terrifying creatures of the Cretaceous to an uncertain welcome back at the ARC, Danny continues to fight his way through a Pliocene age Rift Valley, desperate to return to the team with a vital secret that will change their whole outlook.
With a new team and new creature threats, the ARC team are facing their toughest challenges yet…

Michael Lewis' "Liar's Poker" has been a must-read for anyone who works on or cares about Wall Street since it was first published in 1989.
It captures Lewis' time spent as a young bond salesman at Salomon Brothers from 1984-89. This is the same wild period immortalised in Oliver Stone's classic 1987 film "Wall Street," but Lewis' memoir focuses on the comedic side of the rough and sometimes dark world of loosely regulated finance.
Three decades and a massive recession later, and the Wall Street of today is unrecognizable from the one Lewis inhabited.
"What's happened to Wall Street since 'Liar's Poker' came out is that its relationship with the rest of society has become much more problematic," Lewis told Business Insider in a recent interview about his new book "The Undoing Project" and current events.
"It's become cagier, more guarded, closed, and afraid of how it seems to the wider world," he explained. "More political."
In a 2012 video for Big Think, Lewis said that he saw Wall Street start to clean up its act — superficially speaking — around the time "Liar's Poker" came out, as more firms went public and felt compelled to rid themselves of the profanity and blatant misogyny Lewis describes so well in his book. He added, however, that while everyone began behaving better in these public firms through the '90s and the early 2000s, they felt freer to make reckless investments with other people's money, which led to the subprime mortgage crisis of 2007-09.
It's in the wake of the Great Recession bailouts that Wall Street became politicized, Lewis explained. He said he's afraid the incoming Trump administration's proposed rollback of market regulations could lead to another crisis for these "too big to fail" banks.
As far as the outlandish young investment bank culture Lewis once found himself in, there is poll evidence it's no longer as appealing to fresh college talent as it used to be. Lewis thinks that might change in a Trump presidency, if he commits to deregulation.
"If you're the kind of kid who thinks that all that's important in life is making money, it's probably still the place to go, especially now that Trump's elected," he said. "In Wall Street now, you have to hide what you're doing. It's more fun when you don't have to do that. But I don't think its sense of purpose has changed at all."
Lewis' assessment of Wall Street may be generally pessimistic, but he said hope lies in young people like IEX founder Brad Katsuyama, protagonist of his 2013 book "Flash Boys." The catch is that the talent that wants to take a path based on ideals, like Katsuyama's dedication to eradicating unfair advantages derived from abuses of high-frequency trading, will make less money than their less idealistic peers.
"You find great purpose there, but you may not find great profits when the game you're playing is making a living by reducing the size of Wall Street, sucking some of the revenues out of it, and reducing the tax the financial-sector levies on the rest of the economy," Lewis said. "You're not going to get rich doing that like you get rich figuring out how to increase the tax."

Distributed for Seagull Books
Translated by Mike Mitchell
420 pages | 6 x 9 | © 2013
Two fathers with two daughters: Martin, professor of German, writes but is studying Earth Sciences at MIT; Tariq, a doctor in Baghdad and Muna, is studying the archaeology of a region that is seen as the cradle of civilization. These two parallel relationships in two very different parts of the world expose the human similarities beneath cultural differences. In Thomas Lehr's moving and realistic novel, the similarities between these men become a similarity of suffering as well. Martin's daughter dies with her mother in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, and though Tariq survives three wars and Saddam Hussein's regime intact, his family does not—in the last days of the conflict, his daughter is raped, her lover is murdered, and she sees her sister and mother die in a bomb attack.
Out of these tragedies that almost seem to define the first decade of our century, Lehr has fashioned a richly woven, multilayered tapestry that not only explores the human side but brings out the cultural, historical, social, and political context within which the tragedies occur. The alternating interior monologues of the four main characters engage the reader in language which reaches an unforgettable poetic intensity.

Review Quotes
"If the intention is to create a dreamlike stream of narrative, September: Fata Morgana succeeds. Its namesake, the sorceress Fay de Morgana from the Arthurian epic, would be impressed. Bewitchingly and beguiling, this novel continually enchants the reader. A heartbreaking story of human relationships destroyed by war and destruction, it is also a story of love. Achingly beautiful and mournfully sad, this tale of loss is partly what we have become and partly what we always were."

Back in 2008, I was ecstatic to finally pay off our last remaining car loan. No more car loans I claimed! Then by mid 2009 my wife's car died and by fall 2010 my car needed more in repairs than it was worth. What to do? We both bought new cars.
Why did we buy new cars? Because of excellent interest rates, great warranties (my Hyundai Elantra came with a 10 year, 100k mile warranty), a tank of a car in our Subaru Legacy that could climb mountains in the winter, and very low mileage that we put on our cars daily due to our short commutes. The idea was piece of mind, knowing that these cars would need very little in the way of repairs for years and that we could pay them off relatively quickly.
I'm proud to say I scheduled the last car payment for my Hyundai Elantra and it'll be officially paid off next week, one year early. However I'm not immediately going to tackle our Subaru Legacy car loan. Why? Because I want to desperately kill off one of my student loans (the only one with a variable interest rate, abet at a low 3.25% at the moment) that is owned by Sallie Mae. Even better news, it has about seven debt snowball size payments away from being closed out as well and interest wise, I definitely would save more interesting paying off the student loan first.
I am beyond excited at the possibility in one year to take out one of our car loans and one of my most hated student loans. Keep the debt snowball rolling!


text: South Africa's Triggerfish Animation Developing 'Sea Monster' Film 9:08 AM PDT 6/10/2013 by Georg Szalai FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME The Cape Town-based company had early success with "Adventures in Zambezia." LONDON -- South African animation house Triggerfish Animation Studios is developing a new project under the working title Sea Monster. The movie will be written by Raffaella Delle Donne, who already worked on the company's first two releases -- Adventures in Zambezia and Khumba. It will be produced by the Triggerfish producers who produced those two films, led by Triggerfish CEO and producer Stuart Forrest. Cape Town-based Triggerfish, South Africa's answer to Pixar, said the 3D adventure is about a marine biologist who discovers an ancient sea monster in South Africa. The film has no voice cast attached yet. Triggerfish has had early success with its first feature, Zambezia, about a young falcon who travels to the bird city Zambezia. It featured the voices of Leonard Nimoy, Jeff Goldblum and Samuel L. Jackson. The film's budget was less than $20 million. At the end of the first sales cycle, Forrest expects the movie to be profitable. During the Cannes film festival, Triggerfish for the first time screened follow-up Khumba, featuring the voices of Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne and Liam Neeson. The film features a half-striped zebra born into a herd obsessed with stripes. When his father, the leader of the herd, blames him for the lack of rain and the death of his mother, the outcast zebra leaves the herd. "While there is a lot of U.S.-centric Hollywood animation, Triggerfish is building a platform for Africa's creative voice," Forrest recently told THR. "We are bringing a new voice to world animation, which has never been heard."

There are eight million children living in orphanages worldwide—even though 80% of them are not orphans.
Most children are institutionalized because their parents are poor and cannot adequately provide for them. And while many institutions are established with good intentions, more than 80 years of research proves that raising children in orphanages harms their health and development, increases their exposure to abuse and puts them at risk of future criminal activity.
Put simply, children need families, not orphanages.
Lumos, a non-profit international organization founded by J.K. Rowling, has the proven solution. We reveal the hidden children and transform systems of care globally. Join us, and together we can create a world where all children have the families they need and the futures they deserve.
This new, limited edition 'Be the Light' T-shirt is the newest way for both repeat and first time donors to become involved in the work of Lumos as it helps the millions of children living in orphanages today to get back to a family life.

Cosmetic procedures include a wide variety of surgeries and treatments that are performed not for essential medical reasons but primarily to improve an individual's appearance. These procedures are performed by a doctor known as a cosmetic surgeon or a plastic surgeon. Because cosmetic surgery is typically not an essential medical procedure, it is often not covered by health insurance. In some cases, however, cosmetic surgery can be used to repair congenital defects or damage from an injury in order to improve a person's appearance.
Hundreds of procedures fall under the umbrella of cosmetic procedures. Some of the common ones include tummy tucks, breast implants, facelifts, nose surgery and liposuction. Not all procedures are surgical, however. For example, there are non-surgical treatments available to improve the overall appearance of the skin, such as microdermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing and chemical peels. In addition, some conditions -- like the disease vitiligo, for example, in which the skin loses color -- can be treated with the application of makeup, self-tanner, skin dye, skin medication or light treatments.
When it comes to repairing the body after an illness, injury or congenital defect, surgeries to repair a cleft lip or cleft palate are common cosmetic procedures. Women can also get a breast reconstruction if they had one or both breasts removed because of breast cancer. Scars can also be repaired after skin cancer or an injury.
The benefits of cosmetic surgery come primarily in how people feel about themselves based on the improvement in their appearance. However, most types of cosmetic surgery carry some risks. For example, bleeding, infection and scarring are potential risks associated with any type of surgery. Breast implants have a potential to leak over time. Liposuction can cause burns, numbness or accidental organ puncture. Each type of cosmetic surgery has its own set of risks, making it important to weigh those risks against the potential benefits of whatever procedure is being considered.

GMAT Math Review of Rectangle [Video Transcript]
Please pause this video and answer the question before continuing.
Now, in this question, we want to find the height of the rectangle. Let's begin by adding the given information to our diagram. First we're told that this is a rectangle. So we can add these to the note that we have 90 degree angles at the four corners. Next we're told that the height is twice the width. Now, since we're not given any measurements concerning the height and width, let's assign some variables. If we let X equal the width of the rectangle, then the height must be two X, since the height is twice the width. Finally we're told that the distance from point A to point B is root 60. So let's add this information to our diagram.
Okay, that's all of the given information, now we want to find the value of two X, the rectangle's height. At this point we should recognize that within this diagram we have a right triangle hiding. Since this is a right triangle, we can apply the Pythagorean Theorem that relates the three sides. So if we square both legs and add them together, the sum will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse. We now have an equation that we can solve for X. First we can expand two X to the power of two to be four x squared. And next we can evaluate root 60 to the power of two, which is 60. From here we can simplify the left hand side, and now we can divide both sides by five.
Now, if X squared is equal to 12, then X must equal the square root of 12. At this point, we can simplify the square root of 12 by first re-writing it as root four times root three. And now we can replace root four with two, to see that X is equal to two root three. Now, be careful. We're not done just yet. The question asks us to find the height of the rectangle and X represents the width. To find the height, we must multiple X by two to get two times two root three, which is equal to four root three. So the answer here is D.

Hello! I'm Ben. I work at corporate PR/marketing agency Glasshouse Partnership and am pursuing a MSc in Electronic Publishing at City University London. I graduated in May 2008 from Central Michigan University with a B.Sc in news-editorial journalism and European studies. Previously I studied journalism at Dublin City University for a semester in 2006.
In addition to this blog, I also write for Econsultancy.
During my time as a student at Central Michigan University, I founded Grand Central Magazine, the university's first online-only, student-produced magazine. It has since been adopted by the journalism department and is being offered as a practicum to journalism students.
I'm a native Michigander (yes, that's what we're called). I first got involved in journalism as a high school student, when I began working at the school's radio station. At the time I didn't realize that going downtown and interviewing my favorite bands qualified as anything other than being really fun, but apparently that's journalism. I then went on to the school newspaper, and the rest is history.
I have experience in college media, daily newspapers, weekly newspapers, glossy magazines, online publications, news radio, public radio, wires, b2b and entertainment weeklies.
In February 2009 I launched CityOnline Magazine, City University London's first independent student-produced Web magazine.
My interests are primarily in the development of Web-only publications and how they relate to community/hyperlocal and niche media. There's a lot of talk about the 'death of journalism' and how the faltering of the print medium means journalism somehow has died a tragic death. True, newspapers are (were?) a big deal. Regardless, the march of the Digital Revolution continues. It can be slowed, but not stopped.
And I'm on the sidelines, cheering it on.

Monet, Trendy Classics Headline Artwork Reveals At German Museum
Earlier than you, hopefully, will take pleasure in my photos of to at this time, I need you to inform that Cecilia of Desde My Ventana weblog is making a gift of a beautfiful engraving!! All these artists where thought-about the New York College arts fest, and centered on the usage of automatism to examine their unconscious. As each well-known painting has, this one also possesses the parodies and imitations in fashionable tradition. These work depict the sport of traces, brightness of Basohli colours and extravagant decoration.
Whereas the originals of artists like Warhol are on show in museums, reproductions of their work in addition to some lesser-known items are bought on eBay. It additionally served as a sketch e-book, language pocket book and receptacle for tickets, dried flowers and different souvenirs.
In the course of the eleventh century, the Northern Song dynasty painter Li Gonglin (1049-1106) adopted within the footsteps of Han Gan and painted some very hanging horse paintings using his well-known baimiao approach. This aggressiveness of the modernist movement led to the creation of the avant-garde, a gaggle composed of artists whose work rejected the past and violated the boundaries of conventional artistic practices.
Here's a chronological record of the perfect trendy works of sculpture (1870-1970), as compiled by our Editor. As talked about, the goal of the Pre-Raphaelites was to move away from the style of artists previous to High Renaissance artist, Raphael, who art tended to be too mathematical and ordered.
Born in Beaumont, Texas, and raised in Houston, she took true joy in the pursuit of nice work and sculpture. The statement by a reputed artwork critic indicates that as far as paintings and drawings had been concerned, the artists were quite deft, but lacked the information of division and inventive use of areas.
The painting depicts the act of the last supper, when Jesus and his twelve disciples are taking dinner. In consequence, artists created portraits of those people or dramatic depictions of spiritual and historical Education events. Many fashionable homes and workplaces choose fashionable abstract artwork, and are willing to pay good cash to personal it.
Once you have a look at the scene within the background of the painting with that in mind, you may nearly see the well-known portray recreated across the tables, with Christ standing up in white in the middle. Along with looking scenes, Herring additionally painted plenty of other equestrian and farm-related work.
He can be within the British capital because he is happy with the picture the main artists portray of his nation. Summary artists use colors to paint their very own wold, they cannot include themselves in a world that limits them. The artists used the brushes typically fabricated from the hair of horse, squirrel, camel and so forth.
Famous impressionist painters embody Claude Monet, Pierre – Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, and Armand Guillaumin, among others. The gallery installations change regularly so there may be all the time something new to see and reason to return. Modern pigments make colors of very high tinting energy which might be naturally glossier.
Artists usually painted not what they perceived with subjective eyes but somewhat what they envisioned because the epitome of their subject. The New York-based mostly auctioneer smashed records last week when its gross sales of impressionist, trendy and surrealist art had been the very best ever for any category in London, totaling 216 million kilos, it mentioned final Friday.
Since being on-line I've bought paintings in 15 totally different countries including Sweden, India, Mexico, Spain, Canada, Australia, Germany, Finland and the UK and have on-line sales nearing 1000 paintings. Tim and Sue's artwork has been present cased in artwork museums such as the Museum of Fashionable Art (MoMA) and the British Museum.

A European Union regulation intended to prevent a rerun of the global credit crunch by shining a light on financing arrangements such as repurchase agreements, securities lending and margin loans comes into force on Tuesday.
The EU's Securities Financing Transactions Regulation will require disclosure to clients and authorities of those activities, and also force intermediaries to obtain consent if they want to use a security as collateral in a trade that involves a change of ownership. The rules will be phased in starting this week, though their full impact won't be felt for about six months, according to Pauline Ashall, a partner at Linklaters law firm in London.
The rules are part of the bloc's response to the financial crisis, when so-called shadow banking activities allowed leverage to increase to dangerous levels at hedge funds, insurers, asset managers and other intermediaries, unnoticed by regulators because it took place outside the banking system. While securities financing transactions are key to brokers' ability to make markets and supply liquidity to their clients, their use in activities including borrowing short-term to fund long-term liabilities creates additional risks for the global financial system.
'Onerous' Requirement
"It's a pretty onerous new requirement and it applies to everyone involved in securities financing transactions, buy side and sell side," Ashall said. "The impact will be felt by insurers, pension funds, asset managers and so on, and not just by the banks."
Securities financing transactions include trades such as lending or borrowing stocks, bonds and commodities, as well as repurchase agreement, or repos, and reverse repos. Market makers and speculators use borrowed securities to cover short positions or to settle trades while the practice generates fee income for asset managers. Repos and reverse repos are used to borrow or lend cash securely. The same rule applies when the party taking the collateral gains the right to reuse it, a process known as rehypothecation.
Disclosure to clients and counterparties "isn't going to be particularly difficult," Ashall said. "Much more challenging will be the reporting obligation" to regulators. That will "require systems to be built. We still don't know when that's coming in but it's going to require years rather than months."

Question: I had a huge crush on Edward Mulhare before he was on Knight Rider, going way back to The Ghost & Mrs. Muir. My question is: How did Captain Gregg die in order to become a ghost? Thank you for your help.
Answer: A 19th-century sea captain, Daniel Gregg (the late Mulhare, who did indeed appear on Knight Rider, as F.L.A.G. head Devon Miles) was asphyxiated in his sleep when a gas heater was knocked over. As if that weren't enough to make him a grumpy spirit, his death was reported as a suicide, which set him up to be none too welcoming to his greedy nephew's (Charles Nelson Reilly) prospective tenants in contemporary times. (The series ran for a year on NBC, beginning in September 1968, and was then picked up for another season by ABC.)
But as fans of the novel, of the 1947 feature film and of the show all know, the irascible Gregg was no match for the right flesh-and-blood lady. On TV that lady was Carolyn Muir (the late Hope Lange), who moved into the New England coast's Gull Cottage with her two kids (Kellie Flanagan, Harlan Carraher) and their cute dog, Scruffy (who, it's worth noting, had been picked up at the Hollywood pound for $7.50 in real life before appearing on the series). After the widow Muir moved in and Gregg tried to scare her off, she stood up to him and he reluctantly agreed to let her and her family live there on a trial basis. Eventually, of course, the relationship between the two grew into something more (as much as a relationship between a living woman and a dead guy could in two seasons, anyway).
The result was a charming series, which TV Guide critic Cleveland Amory praised for its "interesting, highly individual, sharply defined characters," calling Lange "cute without being too cute, and good fun without always trying to be funny" and applauding Mulhare for playing his role "to a fare-thee-well." Despite its short run, the show was well put together, and you weren't alone in your sizable crush.
A 1969 TV Guide profile of the actor noted that he received thousands of letters every week from female admirers "propositions," Mulhare termed them. "I got one recently from Nebraska," he told a reporter before trailing off. Prodded for more, he said: "Well, I must say, if Nebraska weren't so bloody far away, I might have looked into that one."
Asked about the perils of being the dream of so many women, Mulhare, who'd already had success in his career haviing followed Rex Harrison into the stage role of Professor Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady before doing the same with the role of Captain Gregg (Harrison costarred with Gene Tierney in the Mrs. Muir film) explained that his previous fame taught him how to live with it. "I had that in New York with My Fair Lady," he said, laughing, "so I'm used to it. Actually, it's easier now because I'm not recognized so often. I have my blond hair darkened for the show and they put the beard on me every morning, so I'm astounded when people do recognize me on the street."
The chin-wear, in fact, no doubt helped Mulhare call forth the short-tempered Gregg's ire. "The false beard is a bloody bother, though, and if I can find enough time, say eight weeks, before our next season begins, I'll certainly grow my own," he said. "As it is, I shy away from the makeup man with his spirit gum because the stuff gives me a rash. Also, it takes nearly two hours in the morning and another half hour after lunch to be made up. That I would like to avoid in the future." (Note from your friendly Televisionary, who acted poorly in various junior-high and high-school musicals: He wasn't just whining. I once had to sport both a false beard and nose, and spirit gum and fake hair are truly nasty pieces of work.)
As for Lange, she was already semiretired and raising her own kids after working as a model, appearing with Marilyn Monroe in Bus Stop and being nominated for an Oscar in Peyton Place. "There haven't been too many movies in the last few years that didn't entail location work. I didn't want to be away from home, and I didn't see any reason to take the parts I was offered. That left television," she explained when asked why she'd gone back to work. Even so, she admitted she wasn't initially interested in the part when producers called her, and her husband said she "backed into" the role.
Once she did, however, her bosses, colleagues and friends served up a level of praise not often seen in some of those old TV Guide stories. (Most stars have people to say nice things about them, but everyone loved Lange.) Perhaps the funniest compliment came from Muir associate producer Lew Gallo, whose choice of words certainly reflected the lack of political correctness of the time: "Hope is a well-rounded person," he said. "She's marvelous, the Tiffany of broads on TV."


text: Hello ya'll, I've really enjoyed watching FreeSO go further then any project before (NIOTSO,Project Dollhouse (Previous name)! My question is if the normal Sims 2 or 3 can be modded in such a way that it plays like Co-op, letting one user control a character while the other can control another one. On the Sims Forums it is said to be impossible or extremely difficult, but seeing as FreeSO or an TSO recreation was being called impossible. It might be doable? To be honest I do not have the skill set to do such things, but I'd happily test for bugs. TL;DR Co-op Sims 2-3, no MMO style but more like on the PlayStation 2 version (That one had Co-op) but with the option to just separate without person lot a -> 1 person lot b & switching sims per usual while locking the one being used by your friend. - Sven (Sfekke)

Case study - Supporting schools to develop links with employers
C&K Careers supported a local school to develop links with employers bringing the world of work closer to the classroom
A local 11 to 16 secondary school sought our help to raise the aspirations of students:
- The school wanted to develop links with employers and the world of work.
- There was a need for positive role models, who would come into school to talk about their experience after leaving school.
To support the school in identifying employers and arranging visits by small numbers of students to the workplace:
- Year 7 students visited a local college and the University of Huddersfield to find out more about opportunities in further and higher education.
- Arranged for role models (some of whom used to attend the school) to talk to students about their experiences of work.
- Organised a mentoring scheme involving adults from the local community and workplaces to support students in transition post 16.
The school now has:
- Strong links with a bank of employers.
- A number of trained mentors available to support young people.
The school plans to:
- Build on these established links.
- Embed the links with employers and the support from mentors into the curriculum.

Method Man should be dropping his new project The Meth Lab shortly (August 21st to be exact) but in order to hold fans over he's sharing "The Purple Tape," featuring legendary Wu-Tang Clan members Raekwon and Inspectah Deck. By now everyone should be familiar with those three words: The Purple Tape. If you're not, it's quite simple: It refers to Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… and its unique purple plastic packaging. So it's only convenient that Rae is present on the track, too. Listen to Meth's "The Purple Tape" for those monster Wu verses you've been thirsting for after the jump!
The wait is finally over, Wu-Tang Clan's first album in over seven years, A Better Tomorrow, is here. After teasing the album with singles like "Ruckus In B Minor," "Necklace," and "A Better Tomorrow" the Staten Island rap collective has made the entire album available for stream via YouTube. Take a listen through the album after the jump, which will be available for purchase beginning December 2.
Cormega comes through with a stacked remix of "Industry" featuring an all-star lineup of Inspectah Deck, Roc Marciano, Sadat X, and Lord Jamar. You may listen to the track after the jump.
Sugar Factory Films takes it back to 2001 by unveiling the previously unreleased video for "Y'all Been Warned" from the Clan's album Iron Flag. While not a spectacular video itself, it's great that this visual has seen the light of day as I'm a big fan of the immensely underrated Iron Flag. Read More
Here's part one of a cool segment where the two legends talk about their humble beginnings and more. Read More
In anticipation of their upcoming collabo project CZARFACE, Wu-Tang's Inspectah Deck and 7L & Esoteric drop a set of sick visuals for the track "Air 'Em Out." This video is honestly more than I expected from the two and definitely earns its points with The Rebel INS portraying a mafia don of sorts. The CZARFACE project drops February 19th.
iHipHop returned to Austin to co-sponsor a tremendous showcase featuring Wu-Tang Clan, Erykah Badu, Yelawolf, Fishbone, Marz Lovejoy, Rocky Business, Trouble Andrew, and more.

WESTFIELD — The city has received a $480,200 grant from MassDevelopment to move forward with the demolition of several buildings at the corner of Arnold and Elm streets.
The demolition and site clean-up will clear the way for new development along that section of Elm Street that includes the vacant parcel where a J.J. Newberry's Department Store stood until it was leveled by fire some 30 years ago.
Mayor Daniel M. Knapik and City Advancement Officer Jeffrey R. Daley announced the grant award Tuesday. The funding is for demolition and mitigation of ground contamination at the rear of the structures, Daley said.
Buildings targeted for demolition are the Block Building at the corner of Arnold and Elm streets and an adjoining one-story structure that currently houses four or five vacant storefronts. The city is continuing negotiations with Hampden Bank for acquisitions of the one-story, multi-unit structure, but already owns the Block Building, Daley and Knapik said.
The property is targeted for public and commercial development that Knapik said might include a public transit terminal, community police station and Westfield State University. The mayor has indicated support for a 15,000-square-foot building on that Elm Street parcel.
The Pioneer Valley Transit Authority and the city recently launched a $400,000 study of Westfield's downtown to determine transportation and development needs.
The rear of those properties, including off-street parking facilities, are part of the city's Gaslight District, which will see an estimated $5 million upgrade in utilities and pedestrian walkways beginning in the fall.
Knapik said the plans for building in that section of Elm Street are for demolition in the fall and environmental cleanup of the site next spring.
That area was considered prime location of a proposed hotel and intermodal transit center for more than 10 years. But, in 2007, local developer John E. Reed, owner of Mestek Inc., withdrew his plan to invest $12 million in the hotel project, claiming it was no longer viable.
"I do expect any building constructed on this site will include a form of public transportation," Knapik said this week.

Well, a good first step would be not to pick up the phone in the first place, unless you're sure that it's an important call. That's why they invented caller ID: with only a little effort, you can identify "must-take" from "can ignore" phone calls.
You can also invest in an administrative assistant, or make it a practice not to hand out your cell phone number to clients—or at least to lower-level clients who don't require 24-hour attention.
What you should do, though—and which too many lawyers don't do, for fear of offending their clients—is to calmly and courteously explain to the offending caller that your time is valuable and that every minute you spend on the phone is one less minute you can spend preparing his case. A reasonable client will not be offended by this explanation; in fact, he will probably be impressed that you guard your time so zealously, with his interests uppermost in your mind.
Another good strategy is to agree to talk to your needy clients, but only during certain times of the day, and only when the call has been scheduled in advance. When you make the appointment, you can tell your client that you only have five or ten minutes to talk—and when that limit approaches, you can explain that you have another call scheduled and that it would be unfair to the next client to cheat him of his phone time.
This is a time management problem. It's a known fact that lawyers who successfully manage their time are more successful attorneys and esteemed more highly by clients than lawyers who are constantly playing catch-up and showing up late for appointments.

The Atlas of Pern by Karen Wynn Fonstad is an authorized companion book to the science fiction Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey. It was completed in 1984 based on the first seven Pern novels and collaboration with McCaffrey.
The Atlas is a large-format book comprising regional maps, chronologies for the seven published novels, local maps and drawings of "Hall, Hold, and Weyr", thematic maps on a world scale, and notes. The Notes are page references to the canon, a list of reference works, and an index of place names.
McCaffrey wrote in her "Welcome" that she had received in November 1983 "the first of Karen's renditions of my Pern, which rendered clearly what had been partially obscured by a myopic mind's eye: this is Pern! ... all lifted from the depths of my imagination and captured by Karen's draftsmanship and geographical expertise ...".[2]
Fonstad had earned a Master's degree in Geography, specializing in cartography, from the University of Oklahoma, and worked as Director of Cartographic Services at the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh before "retirement" to raising children and writing atlases of fictional worlds.[3] Pern was her second, following The Atlas of Middle-earth (Houghton-Mifflin, 1981) based on the fantasy fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien. Her acknowledgments for The Atlas of Pern include "my husband, Todd, associate professor of geography", the UW Oshkosh Department of Geography, several UWO faculty members.[4]

Section 1: Media
- The question of objectivity in the 2016 Presidential Election
- After Objectivity?
- Journalism and the illusion of innocence
- Did election results trump frames of newspaper endorsements?
- Trump and mediatization
- The 2016 election and the success of fact free politics
- Rise of Donald Trump: media as a voter-decision accelerator
- The new normal? Campaigns and elections in the contemporary media environment
- Did the media create Trump?
- Trump, Media, and the 'oxygen of publicity'
The manner of Donald Trump's electoral success presents the Western media – not just America's – with an urgent and profound question: what is the role of truth in contemporary democratic political discourse?
In the midst of the US presidential campaign, The Economist newspaper devoted a cover story to the concept of "post-truth" politics, a term coined by an American blogger, David Roberts, in writing about American climate-change policy. With a climate-change denier now about to sit in the Oval Office, the urgency of the "truth" question becomes starkly obvious.
Denial of climate change is one of Trump's more serious but less fantastical lies. Among innumerable outrageous untruths, he has asserted that President Obama and Hillary Clinton were co-founders of Islamic State (IS), that Obama was not a US citizen, and that Hillary Clinton had laughed at a 12-year-old rape victim. After the second presidential debate, The New York Times enumerated 27 specific lies that he uttered in the course of the debate. The term "trumped up" has thus been given a new lease of life.
In the relatively recent past when at least some plausible degree of truth mattered in politics, this would have severely weakened his candidacy. Not now. Trump simply condemned the media as corrupt, as part of a great conspiracy by the so-called "elites" against the American people.
How did democratic politics become so detached from reality?
Clearly there are larger forces at work than anything the media alone can generate. A conventional but persuasive wisdom is emerging that millions of ordinary people, particularly in the Anglophone democracies, have been left behind by globalisation, and sacrificed on the altar of neoclassical economics. Evidence for this can be found in the Brexit vote and by the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Voters trapped in these circumstances know only one big truth: their living standards, share of the cake, and place in society are imperilled or reduced. Against this big truth, which they live every day, untruths about who founded IS, about Obama's birthplace or Hillary Clinton's alleged heartlessness towards a child rape victim, count for nothing in the moral calculus.
It is in exploiting this sentiment that elements of the media, particularly in the US, are seriously culpable.
An outrage industry has burgeoned, in which radio shock jocks such as Rush Limbaugh, and right-wing populist copycats such as Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, have made large fortunes and global reputations for themselves as purveyors of outrage.
Limbaugh is reported to have 13.25 million regular weekly listeners, an audience size guaranteed to generate a mighty revenue stream. He is also reported to be on an eight-year $400 million contract, which has been extended to 2020.
Online entrepreneurs such as Matt Drudge, jumped on the outrage bandwagon, adding to its momentum.
Turbo-charging the industry of outrage, however, has been Fox News, the creation of Rupert Murdoch and a former Republican operative, Roger Ailes. Under the ludicrously misleading slogan of "balance", they conjoined the dynamics of talkback radio with the visual power of television and a bank of outspokenly conservative commentators to create the highest-rating cable news channel in the US.
Factual accuracy has not much to do with what these propagandists publish in the guise of journalism. Drudge has said that only 80% of his material is verified. Even accepting that improbably high number, the difficulty for everyone else is in knowing which 80%.
Longer term issues were at work as well.
The 24/7 symbiotic news cyclone in which social media and professional journalism are both caught up is destructive of truth. Material appears on social media, goes viral and becomes news for no better reason than that it is virulent. Newspapers, shrunken by the onslaught of the digital revolution on their revenues, with fewer journalistic resources and in a constant scramble for "hits" and "eyeballs", amplify "news" without troubling with time-consuming verification.
Resultant fragile levels of public trust in the media have been exploited by Donald Trump, and the media have been in no position to mount a credible defence.
In the spring 2016 issue of Meanjin Quarterly, the political editor of The Guardian Australia, Katharine Murphy, faced up to this issue of trust by asking: What role for journalism if facts no longer count? She wrote: "We have to look in the mirror. Our intemperate excesses have discounted our own moral value. Our own behavior has helped fuel a lack of trust."
This is a crisis for the media but also for the democratic process. The media has an ethical obligation to restore what it can of public trust. The starting point is to hew to the truth: verify material before publishing, make it more important to be right than to be first, and call to account people in public office who tell lies.

In its latest forecast of ad spending around the world, eMarketer has made upward revisions to both its total and digital ad spend forecast for Asia-Pacific, thanks to recent reports showing strong digital advertising activity in China. This year, China will be home to more than a fifth of all digital ad spending worldwide, amounting to $41.66 billion.
Within China, the BAT companies—Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent—continue to be the key players benefiting from the ad spend uptick. Thanks in part to its increased revenues from display ads, Alibaba now enjoys the largest share of China's digital ad market—this year, more than a quarter of the total, equating to $12.05 billion.
In previous forecasts eMarketer had predicted that Baidu would stay out in front—last year, Baidu earned 28.0% of digital ad revenues in China, compared to Alibaba's 24.8%—but due to a challenging few months when the company received negative press, along with new regulations coming into place this year, eMarketer has downgraded its outlook. Baidu's digital ad revenue is now expected grow minimally this year (by 0.3%) to $8.87 billion. Meanwhile, Alibaba and Tencent will both continue to surge ahead and report increases of 54.0% and 68.0%, respectively.
WeChat owner Tencent has seen phenomenal growth over the past few years, and this year China's largest online entertainment and social networking company will earn $4.12 billion in digital ad revenues. By 2018, Tencent's digital ad revenues will reach almost $11.0 billion—closing the gap with Baidu, which is forecast to earn just over $12.0 billion that year.
eMarketer forecasting analyst Shelleen Shum commented, "The heightened regulation on internet advertising is expected to weigh heavily on Baidu's search revenues in the near term as they roll out stricter standards across all advertisers. Although also affected by the new regulations, Alibaba's ad revenue particularly from mobile shows no sign of ebbing with robust growth from the ecommerce retail business. We now expect Alibaba to take a larger share of digital ad revenues than Baidu in 2016."
Total media ad spending in China continues to be heavily influenced by mobile at the expense of more traditional ad spending formats. As mobile usage has grown so too has mobile ad spending's share. Once again the BAT companies are out in front, earning the lion's share of mobile internet ad revenues. Alibaba remains the leader, with mobile ad revenues of $11.1 billion—which is expected to grow to almost $20.0 billion by 2018. Tencent's mobile ad revenues are also rising, and by 2018, the WeChat owner is forecast to overtake Baidu with revenues of $9.05 billion.
Shum added, "Ad spending in China continues to shift rapidly toward digital formats and in particular mobile formats as more time is spent on mobile devices. We think that this trend will persist in the coming years, especially as more offline services become integrated online via mobile applications."

Support for both Intelligent Design and Flying Spaghetti Monsterism
I'd like to say that although I currently reside as an oscillation between Wisconsin and Oregon, I was pleased to hear about the decision to teach Intelligent Design and Evolution as biology curricula in Kansas. I came to this knowledge and to your website link through the website of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Prophet.
Anyway- Reasons: Evolution was taught in my school as if it was the only way to explain anything in the history of the world. I accepted this at the time – possibly because I was stupid and possibly because my teacher was not a good teacher. When I later learned about the arguments for I.D. (outside of school), I was surprised that I hadn't heard it discussed or presented more widely. If Kansas teachers can effectively and accurately present the arguments for Creation, then students will not have to have the good fortune to chance hearing about it at an outside presentation. At least they'll know that it's out there and that it's no more blind faith than secular science.
I hope that the curricula you choose to implement will be as solidly science-based and objective as possible, both for I.D. and Evolution. I think it's important for students to be able to identify and discern between faith, facts, and evidence.
If nothing else, it will be good for high school students to know that there's more than one possible, reasonable, scientific explanation for nature as we see it. And, since both ID and Evolution have their evidence, bias, leaps of faith, and beginning premises, hopefully the students will be encouraged to question how science is conducted and presented and learn more about the scientific community and the process of scientific analysis in general.
And, for the record, I don't see nearly enough pirate regalia in schools these days, therefore I support the teaching of Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, though I'd suggest that time be divided not necessarily based on the number of perspectives, but with consideration proportional to the amount of scientific discussion each can generate.
Also, it would be really fun to see a lawsuit here because I would love to see a trial in which the prosecutors must dress as pirates.
Thankyou for your time,
P.S. I would really appreciate hearing about what sort of responses you've gotten to your decision – especially after The FSM Prophet's open letter.
- On the street: Are you familiar with the Flying Spaghetti Monster theory?
- Evolution debate creates monster

Linda M. Crate
What inspired your piece?
My poem "impaling war" is about the conflict of myself and my bullies. I have been bullied and criticized since I was a child to the present day. I don't want to be the monsters that wounded me, but neither will I offer those who wounded me any more of my roses to puncture. I will simply blind them with my light and dreams until the nightmare of who they were is vanquished from my life.
Do you have a favorite line from your piece?
I am rather fond of "my magic is white but sometimes i am fierce and dark" because it reminds me of the concept of yin and yang. We all have darkness and light inside of us, but we have to make the most of each decision and hand that life deals us. I also like "no one can tell you how to shine, you just turn on your starlight;" because I have had many people try to blow out my candle, but they find that light cannot be stolen in the end. Like joy the light must come from within. I like the idea also of flipping on your star light like a light switch.
Who is your most influential writer? Who do you always go back to for inspiration?
Pretty much every writer I've ever read has inspired me in some way. However, I find that Adrienne Rich; Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickinson, Shakespeare, e.e. cummings, J.K. Rowling, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Sylvia Plath, and T.S. Eliot can always inspire me.
What seasons do you find you write the most in?
That's hard to say as I am one of those writers constantly writing. I do think it's easier to be more productive in the colder months of autumn and winter, though, because there's not as much going on by way of family engagements and the like.
Do you ever create soundtracks for the piece you're writing?
Not usually for my poetry, but sometimes for my novels and characters in my novels.
Do you keep any snacks around while you write? If so, what's your favorite?
Yes. I have a fondness for the bite sized cherry Twizzlers, little Debbie Snack Cakes, and cookies.
What is your ideal writing environment?
I can write most anywhere, but I prefer to be alone when I'm writing. Otherwise it's distracting. I can write in a notebook or on a computer, but sometimes I would rather my computer because I can never seem to find the right position when I have a notebook in my hand. I sit then I lay down and then I sit up again, and I find that can be most distracting when you have a need for the words to flow.
What do you want readers to take away from your piece?
That they are strong, that they are formidable, and though there are nightmares in this world you can be strong enough to defeat them just as you are. Be your own person in a world that is trying to conform you in their image of apathy and insults. You are stronger than you know.
Do you find writing invigorating or exhausting?
A little bit of both. I write from the heart so sometimes that can be tiring, but I think it's worthwhile in the end. I love creating, I love taking an empty space and filling it with the music of words.
Do you have any future writing plans?
I plan on publishing more poetry, more books of poetry, I'm hoping to publish my YA novels; as well, and just continue writing and producing more work as I go along. I hope to heal and help others with my words, and open their eyes to truths and concepts they might not have otherwise known.

"By taking over the tool room, Porsche marks an important landmark in the production of sport vehicles of the future," Porsche's president Matthias Müller said.
The carmaker will take over a bigger part of the current Dubnica plant: the current company Kuka Enco Werkzeugbau will be divided into two; it will keep one of them, with 35 employees, which will continue to make automated robotic assembly lines for the automotive industry, Kuka Enco Werkzeugbau legal representative Pavol Turňa told the Hospodárske Noviny daily, adding that it will also have a technology centre that will employ 80 qualified designers.
The second part, with 155 employees, the tool room, will be detached and taken over by Porsche AG, with the current activities to be preserved: development, construction, production and fine-tuning (at the client's location) the moulding tools for the production of exterior parts of the bodywork.
"Porsche, the board and representatives of employees will care for long-term preservation of jobs," head of the Porsche unions, Uwe Huck, said as quoted by the daily.
Both plants acquired by Porsche are close to the lines where the carmaker finalises its projects.
"The tool room in Dubnica thus played a big role in Porsche's decision to buy the tool-section from Kuka Systems," Turňa explained. He refused to reveal the sum, however. The companies have already agreed on the deal; they are only waiting for the Antimonopoly Office to approve the transaction.
Experts evaluate the coming of Porsche to Slovakia very positively.
"This is a gain for the whole Slovak economy, as many automotive suppliers and sub-suppliers are connected with this plant," economist Vladimír Baláž from the Institute for Forecasting of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, said.
"Porsche AG is definitely a good sign for Slovakia and it confirms the general interest in our country," ex-president of the Automotive Industry Association, Jozef Uhrík, summed up for the daily.

When you are an amateur, you will find it difficult to keep up with the rules of the game. POKER the rules of the game for the amateurs This article gives you a few tips you can keep in mind before you begin playing poker.
Do not always play the game to win more
An amateur tends to play the hand he has been dealt irrespective of whether or not it is a good hand. This is for the fact that they find it intriguing to learn a new game. What you need to remember is that patience is your key to success. You need to know when it is that you have to play and when it is that you need to fold. If you do not identify these aspects, you may lose all your money right at the beginning of the game.
Always play carefully when dealt a good hand
When you play poker, you will find that you usually are dealt a bad hand instead of a good one. But, when you are dealt a good hand, you need to try making all the money you can on that one hand. You will need to lure all your competitors to add their money to the pot. You have to make sure that you win bigger pots to make up for any losses you may have over the course of the games.
POKER the rules of the game for the amateurs you can keep in mind before you begin playing poker
Do not bluff every time
When you play poker, you will need to make sure that you bluff very well. You will have to make sure that you make the players around you fold when you know that they have a hand better than yours. It is an interesting and fun part of the game but is risky just the same. When it comes to bluffing, you will need to continue to bet on the weak hands that you are dealt with. But, if you bluff too often, your competitors will call your bluff and you will lose the game.
Make sure you have good timing
You need to know when it is that you have to fold. There are times when amateurs continue to play without folding just for the reason that they have already bet a little amount of their money. They may do this when they have a bad hand too. Make sure you know exactly when it is that you need to fold to make sure that you do not lose all the money you have on you.
Try to avoid being desperate
People tend to become extremely desperate when they have started to play poker. They want to make money on every game they play. You have to remember that poker is a game of the mind and needs good strategy to help you win. If you are desperate, you will find yourself distracted which will make you lose all the games you will be playing in the future. Make sure that you avoid being desperate or depressed when you want to play poker.
Keep a good eye on your opponents
Always keep an eye on your opponents. You need to understand their every move so that you can adapt to the way they may choose to play the game. You have to make sure that you understand every aspect of the game your opponent may be playing. POKER the rules of the game for the amateurs If your opponent has started to act like a miser, you have to raise more and continue to call while ensuring that you do not bluff too much. If you find that your opponent has started to raise a lot of money, fold immediately! You do not want to lose out on the large profits you would want to make.

This week's editorial cartoon is about the LCK Spring Split starting off with the fierce 'brawl' meta.
As the LCK went through a rough time last year, it received a lot of criticism and disapproval from the fans. The 'safe and cautious' play style that was often seen in the LCK received the most judgment; the LCK style of playing safe and risk-free until the mid-late phase was often compared to how other regional teams did not hesitate to actively engage in fights. Not only did it prove less fun for the viewers, but its results were also unsatisfactory as well.
Riot has been adding patches that were focused around skirmishes since last year. This means that the game is changing so that it is more about fighting aggressively from the early phase rather than being cautious till the later phase. These changes are well reflected in the League's atmosphere with the new patches.
Many of the League fans welcomed the hectic early phase skirmishes and unpredictable drafts, having grown bored of the slow pace the game had last year. The new teams with outstanding individual mechanical skills like Griffin and DAMWON Gaming have been gaining many new fans - a testament to how fond people are off faster-paced playstyles. Meanwhile, those who are welcoming changes are strongly encouraging the 'safe' teams with predictable drafts to push themselves to change.
The current meta is asking for more and more changes, so it's unclear what sort of meta will become dominant. One thing is certain though; we will be able to see more games with more exciting fights. This year's LCK will definitely need a change to get them to achieve better results. How will it go? The first week of the thrilling LCK games passed and the fans of League of Legends cannot help but look forward to future games.
A managing editor who can do more things than you think.

EastEnders star David Witts says he's sad about his on-screen father Jamie Foreman quitting the soap.
Jamie bows out at Christmas after appearing in the role of Derek Branning for around a year.
David, who plays Joey Branning, told Inside Soap: "I'm sad, all my early memories of being in EastEnders are with Jamie. Jamie's been so generous with his time and really looked after me.
"But I doubt he'll be sad for long because I know he'll move on to other great jobs."
Asked how his character will react to his dad's exit, he said: "You'd think he'd shrug it off. But Joey is all over the place, so his reaction may be surprising."
Viewers have seen Joey fall for his cousin Lauren, played by Jacqueline Jossa, in the BBC One soap.
David said: "If they had grown up together or played together as kids, then I could understand people thinking it's creepy or weird. But they've met as adults and it's only because they've been told they are cousins that they even know they're related.
"With the Brannings being the Brannings, it's bound to kick off. They won't be very happy about this at all."

Patricia Lightner Signs Mt. Vernon Statement
Good morning from Washington D.C., where I am attending the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). It is great to be among so many wonderful conservative organizations and leaders. Yesterday, many of these leaders came together to sign the "Mt. Vernon Statement".
Last evening, I signed the petition in support of the Mt. Vernon Statement. Please note the following release:
Patricia Lightner Signs Mt. Vernon Statement
Praises Conservative Recommitment to Founding Principles
Olathe, Kan. – Patricia Lightner, Republican candidate for Congress in the 3rd District of Kansas, today announced her support for the Mt. Vernon Statement, which was signed on February 17 by a coalition of 80 conservative leaders at a ceremony near Washington.
The Mount Vernon Statement is a defining statement of conservative beliefs, values and principles penned by a broad coalition of conservative leaders representing a wide spectrum of the movement including fiscal, social, cultural and national security conservatives.
Lightner, who at the time of the signing was arriving in Washington for the Conservative Political Action Conference, added her name to the document via its website, where individuals may view the full document and add their name in support.
Lightner said the Mt. Vernon Statement echoes the message she has been delivering the entire campaign.
"A recommitment to America's founding principles – particularly limited government, economic freedom, individual liberty and a fundamental belief in the Constitution – is the core message I have been articulating since I entered the race last summer. It was inspirational to see so many conservative leaders come together in support of Constitutional conservatism, and I am proud to have signed on to the Mt. Vernon Statement," said Lightner.
Lightner further urged all supporters of her campaign to add their names as well.
"To take back our country, we need a grassroots movement coast-to-coast, united in reclaiming those core conservative principles, and the Mt. Vernon Statement can serve as a unifying theme for conservatives everywhere — including right here in the 3rd District. I encourage all of my supporters to add their names to the Mt. Vernon Statement."
The full Mt. Vernon Statement as available at http://www.themountvernonstatement.com, where individuals can submit their names to add to the petition.
It is an honor to join with so many grassroots conservatives in signing this document. We can be be victorious here in the 3rd District — to support my campaign to uphold the principles of the Mt. Vernon Statement, please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you!
All the best,
Patricia Lightner
Republican for Congress

Lansing – Michigan House and Senate Democrats called on the Legislature today to take up legislation that would require candidates for elective office and state and local officials to file a financial disclosure report. Senate Bill 168, introduced by Senator Steve Bieda (D-Warren), and House Bill 4469, introduced by Representative Theresa Abed (D-Grand Ledge), would both require personal financial disclosures from appointed and elected officials, including the administrative, legislative and judicial branches and members of university boards. The push for action comes on the heels of news reports that U.S. Senate candidate Terri Lynn Land has self-funded her current campaign with $2.9 million in contributions despite not having $2.9 million in her own assets.
"Anyone who is running for elective office and wants the public's trust should have to fully disclose their personal finances, simple as that," said Senator Bieda. "Campaign finances always court controversy, and today's news is just the latest in a long line of examples why we need more openness and transparency in the process. It's only because we have federal disclosure laws in place that this discrepancy with Ms. Land's finances was even discovered. We need to shore up our state laws as well."
Representative Abed introduced HB 4469 in March 2013, but sadly, the chair of the House Elections and Ethics Committee has refused to take up the bill. Senate Bill 168 was introduced by Senator Bieda more than a year and a half ago, on February 7, 2013, and was referred to the Senate Committee on Local Governments and Elections the same day. It has not had any legislative action under the Senate Republican Majority since. "People deserve an honest, accountable and transparent election process, and that is what these bills would create," said Abed. "We need strong regulation of independent expenditures and financial disclosures from appointed and elected officials. That way, we can hold people accountable and ensure that they are not just looking out for their own financial gain."
Terri Lynn Land has raised several questions regarding her campaign finances, both with her past donations to her Secretary of State campaign claiming employment with Land & Company that she has now vehemently denied and in self-funding her current campaign for U.S. Senate with $2.9 million despite not appearing to have the individual assets to do it. Speculation is that some of that money came from Land's husband, despite campaign finance laws which state that spouses can only donate $5,200 total to campaigns.
The Michigan Democratic Party has called for an investigation by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) into whether Land broke the law by self-funding $2.9 million to her campaign despite not having that much in individual assets. If Land is found in violation of campaign finance law, she could face a civil penalty of up to $5.8 million.

You would find, back in Beaufort, health care mostly done at home. Caster oil for everything was one awful cure, but not nearly so taste destroying as some of the concoctions my grandmother assembled from spices and herbs in her kitchen. Of course, the closest thing we had similar to a blender was the device used to separate cream from milk by centrifugal force, and it was hand-cranked.
Today everyone from doctors to snake-oil peddlers tout smoothies. Some are delicious, others taste as unappetizing as medicine. I have located a tasty, healthy smoothie for you to try. But first, why essential?
About detoxification. It is a fact of modern urban life that we, as a nation, have polluted our air, our water, even our land. No one planned it. No one set out to destroy the nation by poisoning. It just happened, so gradually, so invisibly, that the prophets of our day are called kooks and are ignored.
But now professional researchers and medical authorities are sounding the alarm. Too many TV stories about pollution are aired to be ignored. Tests on humans and animals have shown the effects of exposure to pollutants. It is called toxification. Cattle [and other living creatures] eat foods that have been sprayed with poison to kill insects, and with chemical fertilizer to promote growth. The poison is stored in the fat and muscles of the creatures that ingested the toxins. Fowls are injected with hormones to promote growth. The hormones are still in the chicken we eat.
The researchers have discovered how some removal of toxins is possible. There are foods that act like a sponge to absorb toxins. The toxins are then removed through natural elimination. The process of how the body removes toxins is more extensive than we need explore right now. Suffice it to say one doctor, a leading researcher in the field, Dr. Vincent M. Pedre, MD, has developed a delicious smoothie that just happens to provide detoxification, that is the ingredients absorb some of the toxins and remove them through the natural elimination process. This smoothie is called the
Blue Ginger Smoothie.
- A cup [loosely packed] of spinach
- 1 cup blueberries [preferably frozen]
- ¼ cup Brazil nuts
- 1½ cups filtered water [or 1 cup if ice cubes are used–see when later].
- 2 teaspoons broken cell-wall chlorella powder*
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil**
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons hypoallergenic protein powder (pea, hemp, or rice)***
- ½ cup ice cubes [if blueberries are not frozen]
Blend {slow to fast} all ingredients until you have a smoothie.
Serves 1.
If you don't like spinach, don't worry. The other ingredients blend to create a totally different, delicious taste. If I made it and didn't tell you spinach is in it, you would never guess spinach is one of the essential ingredients.
*A fresh water algae processed as a dry powder supplement available at local stores like Walmart, health food centers, and online.
**Available in supermarkets, health food centers, and online.
***Available in health food stores and online.

Three easy (?) changes to make hockey better
- at 8:00 PM
- Labels: Current Hockey, Overtime/shootout
6 comments:
I agree 100%, like you I have been watching hockey for a long time (about 40 years) and I saw nothing wrong with a tie.ReplyDelete
And I hate the justification that "the fans don't pay good money to see a tie", bullshit. The fans don't want to see their team lose. I would rather have a tie than see my team lose in ot or a shootout.
But what annoys me just as much is the sympathy point. It was added because when OT was first instituted teams were still playing for the tie and giving both teams the point ensured they would play hard in the OT.
Well now that they have the shootout and there is no possibility of a tie, why do we need the sympathy point? Doesn't matter if you play for the tie you are still going to a shootout.
Bring back the tie game. Now.
I agree, bring back the tie. I don't mind a 5-minute overtime, even 4-on-4, but no shoot-outs. No 3-point games. I doubt they'll ever do it, but I'd love to see the NHL get rid of the shoot-out and bring back the tie.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 23, 2010 at 12:06 PM
I agree that overtime is ok., but the loser should get 0 points and the winner 2. That way teams won't play for a tie. Shootout wins just give bad teams meaningless points in the standings and an illusion of parity in the league.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 23, 2010 at 2:14 PM
I really like the thinking about having to play for the points. The `zero points for both teams` might have unintended consequences for game excitement. The team trying to `catch up` fails to keep trying because there`s no incentive (except to keep your opponent from getting a point, therefore apathy possibilities between non-conference opponents).ReplyDelete
Here's a tweak... give the team that's behind the incentive to keep trying by awarding a point to the team that 'caught up' to the other team (and no point for the team that had the lead when they were caught)... Then, the only way for the former leader to get a point is to keep the pedal to the metal (staying ahead or regaining the lead)... no points for the team that lost the lead... no more points for 'holding the lead'.
The team with the lead will play to keep the lead... the trailer will play to catch up (or take the lead)... way more exciting than shootouts - don't you think?!
SRR in AB
Hi SRR,ReplyDelete
Innovative concept- maybe too much so for the NHL!
I guess I'm still stuck in the view that if two teams tie, they just each get the point and go home.
Your idea would certainly be very punitive for a team that gave up a late goal, but that's why hockey has these summertime experiments, to see if people can come up with a better idea than what we presently try.
I never minded the tie because we grew up with it. But I do like the idea of OT. However, the way the league now has it is simply a marketing move. I prefer the original OT format - a 10-minute period. If you want to try to force a winner, go ahead and make it 4-on-4. It's difficult to be defensive for 10 full minutes.ReplyDelete
But when the time is done, that's it. We all go home and be satisfied with the point. It was ESPN and others that hounded the NHL to change the format. It was done strictly for marketing purposes. Like most things done that way, the big picture ... and whether it is actually good for the game ... was never considered.
Shootouts are fine for kids. But it has bastardized the NHL. Alas, once it happens, it is virtually impossible to go back.
