The use and management of spectrum was raised repeatedly during last week's Internet Governance Forum in Nairobi, where many development researchers saw the possibilities afforded by digital migration and TV white spaces as an exciting opportunity for bridging the access gap.
At APC's workshop dedicated to spectrum for development on September 29 the following recommendations were made:
- Regulators and other stakeholders should prepare for digital migration and actively ensure that the digital dividend is utilised for increasing access and reducing prices.
- There is no need to wait for digital migration to make experimental use of television white space spectrum. Regulators can issue experimental licenses now to operators to use this spectrum to provide internet connectivity in places where it does not exist, especially rural areas.
- Spectrum belongs to everyone, and therefore a much wider group of people should become involved in its management and use.
These and other issues raised at the IGF will be discussed in greater depth at a one-day TV white spaces workshop convened by Google, the Open Spectrum Alliance and APC to be held on 5 October in Johannesburg.
It is crucial that we get spectrum right. We must not miss this opportunity to enhance affordable access for all.
The looming migration from analog to digital television presents some interesting possibilities for development. Whereas earlier wireless technologies had to effectively "shout" at relatively deaf receivers, now the technology is much more sensitive. As more and more countries make the switch to digital broadcasting, the resulting frequency efficiencies offers what is often described as the "digital dividend". The ever-increasing importance of wireless technologies, especially for bringing high speed connectivity to rural areas, means that this dividend is a unique opportunity for bringing affordable access to citizens of developing countries.
Although this kind of "digital dividend" seems like a clear windfall, director of Village Telco Steve Song cautioned at the workshop that "spectrum is elastic, but not infinite." There are finite limits to how much data can be packed into a certain bandwidth, and bad decisions around spectrum management could have profound consequences. Worse, such mismanagement is difficult to reverse.
The current spectrum regime leaves much to be desired. Large swaths of bandwidth are typically auctioned out to the major telecommunications companies, without much consideration for the long-term, or for the public benefit. Short-sighted policy-makers, coupled with monopolistic telco markets means that much of the available spectrum is used inefficiently, or not at all.
As Sascha Meinrath of the New America Foundation described it: "We have analog regulations for a digital world."
He argued that the current broadcast business model is outdated and foregoes the opportunities presented by "smart", adaptive technologies. Rather than focus on exclusive licensing, he advocated a much richer ecosystem for spectrum management, one that includes a diversity of approaches to meet diverse needs. Instead of merely following the US model, regulations should be contextualised and adapted to local circumstances.
Added to this digital dividend is the potential of TV white spaces the unused airwaves from television channels which do not broadcast in certain regions. This excess spectrum could be harnessed — right now — to bring affordable access to millions.
In preparation for the Internet Governance Forum in Nairobi, APC published an issue paper on spectrum for development, which outlined the following priorities:
- Make more spectrum available. Current spectrum allocation gives clear preference to incumbent telecommunications companies, reducing competition.
- Strengthen regulatory bodies. Regulators, particularly in developing countries, need more resources in order to address issues effectively and in a timely fashion.
- Get allocation auctions right. Poorly conducted spectrum allocations can carry significant costs to both consumers and regulators and are difficult and costly to reverse.
As the potential for spectrum to support development becomes clear, there is a growing movement to treat spectrum as a public resource, and not only a marketable commodity. However, as Steve Song points out, not only is it critical that we get spectrum policy right, but we should learn to be humble in our approach, as experience has proven that predicting the future of wireless technologies is extraordinarily difficult.
Since many of the challenges we face around spectrum are the consequence of those poor predictions, we should be wary of making any decisions that could lock future generations into an inefficient system of spectrum allocation. Instead, our focus should be on ensuring that spectrum is made widely available, so that its benefits can be realized by the many and not the few.

Acting like several CPUs in one, the Cell will be able to power multiple operating systems at once, as well as bear the heavy computing load that a single system can place on the CPU. These past couple years have also seen significant shifts in the direction that computers and their operating systems are to take. Phones, computers, gaming systems, and entertainment centers are becoming more complex, more integrated with each other, and the distinction between these devices are becoming more and more blurred. Modern operating systems are reflecting this shift as well, supporting VoiP, integrating audio and video with IM and email, etc. With the maturity of the cell processor, tech manufacturers have the opportunity to combine these functions completely on a single home machine, with dedicated processors or cores for each task, and perhaps dedicated operating systems--or environments--to enhance task performance and simplify the interface.
As hardware complexity increases, a simpler, more elegant and straightforward computing interface will likely emerge, separating media from computing, design and multimedia work from office work, with all tied to the Web. With multimedia and gaming relegated to their own places--all of which can operate simultaneously without interfering with one another (thanks to Cell)--there is no need for one beastly, complicated interface to control them all. Each environment can have its own simple, straightforward interface, and the Cell will ensure ease of mobility between environments without disturbing the workflow of any particular environment.
Enter Google
Let's take it one step further. Imagine that all of this software—like the Google search engine, Gmail, etc.—is stored on Google's notoriously well-backed-up servers and operates at relatively high speed with any internet connection, thanks to its simplicity and javascript code base. Supported by unobtrusive (sometimes even helpful) ads, and hosted on a distant server, this is free, convenient, and accessible from ANY computer, anywhere, anytime. Additionally, you have the world's best IT department working on your behalf to protect your software, its accessibility, and its security. No viruses, no worms, no corrupted disks.
Let's say they go even further: Google gives you, say, 1000GB on their servers, hosts all your data (with multiple levels of permissions), and provides everything mentioned above, and extends their video search (currently in beta) to provide access to a wealth of streaming audio (like iTunes radio) and video. All of it is free, all of it is easily accessible through a powerful, extensible web browser, and all of it simple and easy to use (it's still Google, remember). What are the implications of such a system? First, no more purchasing software (at least not the consumer grade applications hosted on the server); second, companies actually competing for your business (Google would surely be followed by the other major players); third, your work is finally mobile.

This section describes how the MySQL server uses character sets for constructing error messages and returning them to clients. For information about the language of error messages (rather than the character set), see Section 10.11, "Setting the Error Message Language". For general information about configuring error logging, see Section 5.4.2, "The Error Log".
The server constructs error messages using UTF-8 and returns them
to clients in the character set specified by the
character_set_results system
variable. Clients can set
character_set_results to control
the character set in which they receive error messages. The
variable can be set directly, or indirectly by means such as
SET NAMES. For more information
character_set_results, see
Section 10.4, "Connection Character Sets and Collations".
The server constructs error messages as follows:
The message template uses UTF-8.
Parameters in the message template are replaced with values that apply to a specific error occurrence:
Identifiers such as table or column names use UTF-8 internally so they are copied as is.
Character (nonbinary) string values are converted from their character set to UTF-8.
Binary string values are copied as is for bytes in the range
0x7E, and using
\xhexadecimal encoding for bytes outside that range. For example, if a duplicate-key error occurs for an attempt to insert
0x41CF9Finto a
VARBINARYunique column, the resulting error message uses UTF-8 with some bytes hexadecimal encoded:
Duplicate entry 'A\xC3\x9F' for key 1
To return a message to the client after it has been constructed,
the server converts it from UTF-8 to the character set specified
by the
system variable. If
character_set_results has a value
NULL or
binary, no
conversion occurs. No conversion occurs if the variable value is
utf8, either, because that matches the original
error message character set.
For characters that cannot be represented in
character_set_results, some
encoding may occur during the conversion. The encoding uses
Unicode code point values:
Characters in the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) range (
0xFFFF) are written using
Characters outside the BMP range (
0x10FFFF) are written using

About that forum, I should mention that it's predominantly apologists for the Stalin-era soviet union. So short-hand you could say there are a lot of outspoken Stalinists. And while it is a political debate forum, a lot of it is also dedicated to historical debates about the former East block and other socialist nations. I'm not entirely sure how interesting you will find it. Though it's worth a shot I guess.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — The former chairman of the tribe that runs one of the world's largest casinos and his brother, the tribe's current treasurer, pleaded not guilty Monday to charges that they stole more than $800,000 from their Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation.
Former chairman Michael Thomas and his brother Steven appeared Monday in U.S. District Court in New Haven. They were released on $100,000 bond.
The tribe owns and operates the Foxwoods Resort Casino on its reservation in Ledyard, Conn.
Michael Thomas is accused of stealing more than $100,000 in tribal funds during his tenure as leader of the tribal council. Treasurer Steven Thomas allegedly stole more than $700,000 when he was assistant director of the tribe's natural resources department.
The brothers are each charged with one count of theft from an Indian tribal organization and two counts of theft from an Indian tribal government receiving federal funds.
Richard Reeve, an attorney for Steven Thomas, said the case is about whether his client was entitled to wages he received for a job.
"This is not a case about the theft of federal funds," Reeve said in court. "This is a case about wages."
Reeve said after the hearing the issue involved allegations Thomas did not work the hours to get the compensation he received.
Paul Thomas, a public defender representing Michael Thomas, declined comment.
Prosecutor Christopher Mattei said Thomas was charged with stealing from the tribe.
A tribal spokesman, William Satti, released a statement Friday in which the tribal council said the federal charges threaten tribal sovereignty.
The Mashantucket Pequots, a tribe of about 900 people whose Foxwoods casino opened in 1992, once enjoyed annual stipends exceeding $100,000 for each adult member. But the tribe racked up huge debts as the casino struggled with increased gambling competition and Foxwoods completed a costly expansion with the MGM Grand hotel and casino at the height of the recession in 2008.
Michael Thomas, who had been chairman since 2003, was forced out by the council in 2009 after pledging to put distributions to tribal members ahead of the tribe's debt even as the tribe was looking to restructure more than $2 billion in debt.
The tribe defaulted on its debt in 2010. It eliminated the revenue-sharing payments last year and succeeded in striking a deal to restructure its debt.

Just found this high chair under a house that we bought in the Sequoia Mountains in California. I believe the people we bought the house from are the original owners of the high chair.
It seems like red leather and I think the wood is birch. It is really neat looking... I would love to know more about it!

Jets owner Woody Johnson is clearly embarrassed.
"The New York Jets believe that reporters have a job to do and it is our obligation to provide them with proper and professional access," the Jets said in an e-mailed statement. "(Johnson) stressed to Ines that he expects all members of the Jets organization to conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times. We will continue to work with the league to gather the facts and take any appropriate steps necessary to maintain a respectful environment for the media."
Sainz bills herself as "the hottest sports reporter in Mexico."
She looks like this (via @zerohedge).

Assistant Professor, University of Maryland School of Medicine
Pediatric Cardiologist, University of Maryland Children's Heart Program
A quick, painless and non-invasive test to determine the amount of oxygen in a newborn baby's blood is a first step in screening infants for congenital heart defects. Beginning September 1, 2012, hospitals in Maryland must administer the test to all newborns.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) occurs in approximately 8 of every 1,000 children. Infants born with congenital heart disease have structural defects of the heart. Approximately 25% of all CHD cases are critical and require intervention during the infant's first month of life. Interventions can include the administration of special medications or even surgery. Pulse oximetry may be helpful in improving the detection of critical CHD (CCHD).
On September 1, 2012, hospitals across Maryland begin mandatory pulse oximetry screening for all newborns. The screening must be done by a health professional before the infant is discharged and within 24 to 48 hours after birth. All hospitals in Maryland will be responsible for creating and implementing pulse oximetry screening protocols.
Children who "fail" pulse oximetry screening will undergo further evaluation, and their primary care providers will work closely with pediatric cardiologists to make the correct diagnosis. Failing the pulse oximetry test means oxygen saturation is lower than normal without another explanation, such as infection or lung disease.
What is pulse oximetry?
Pulse oximetry relies on the use of a non-invasive, painless method for detecting the amount of oxygen in the blood. Probes are applied to the palm of the hand and the sole of the foot. The protocol selected by the State of Maryland for screening is published in the Journal of Pediatrics (Pediatrics 2011; 128; e1259). Children with oxygen saturation less than 90% automatically test positive and fail screening. Children with oxygen saturation greater than 95% test negative and pass screening. Children with oxygen saturation between 90% and 95% will undergo repeat testing and evaluation.
What is the potential impact of pulse oximetry screening?
We anticipate that pulse oximetry screening will enhance detection of CCHD. Data indicate that for every 1,000 children born in Maryland, 2.3 have CCHD. Currently, between 60% and 70% of these infants are diagnosed through prenatal screening, leaving approximately 30% who are not yet diagnosed by the time they are born. Combined with physical examination, pulse oximetry is reported to improve sensitivity for detecting CHD by 20%.
What is the role of the Children's Heart Program?
The University of Maryland Children's Heart Program offers a comprehensive panel of services designed to accurately diagnose and effectively manage and treat children with CHD and CCHD. Pediatric cardiologists are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to assist with the diagnosis of CHD. Through consultation and telemedicine services, the Children's Heart Program is ready to assist surrounding providers and families with the evaluation of infants with suspected CCHD.
For more information on pulse oximetry, please contact the Children's Heart Program at 410-328-4FIT (4348).
Dr. Baker-Smith is a member of the Maryland State Advisory Council's Committee for CCHD and the Newborn Screening for Critical Congenital Heart Disease multi-institutional group.

Can You Guess the Celebrity Cleavage?
This set of sweater puppies, yearning to break loose from the stifling nature of this dress, comes from a model who hails from South Africa and stands at a lithe 5'8".
Her debut was made in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, which she has appeared in for three years straight, starting in 2011. We've also seen her pictured with The Lonely Island, which provided just the right amount of hot and funny to get us really entertained.
This magnificent pair of 34Cs has also been featured in the music video for Gavin DeGraw's "Sweeter."
Can you guess who this model is?

Having decided a bushy beard on the frame of a giant has failed to summon the proper level of attention, Brett Keisel rolled into Pittsburgh Steelers training camp Wednesday in an orange front-loading tractor.
This wasn't a stunt in which Keisel hopped in the tractor around the corner and drove it a few hundred yards. The veteran defensive end commuted an hour in the machine, on loan from a friend.
(Also worth mentioning: Keisel was wearing a T-shirt featuring his likeness -- in full uniform -- on the winning end of a flaming bow and arrow.)
"I love driving these things because it reminds me of my childhood," Keisel said, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I grew up swathing hay and plowing fields and planting fields.
"I grew up in Wyoming driving one of these bad boys working on a farm," he said. "Hard work pays off. You have to deal with adversity, all the things we have to deal coming into this camp."
Also dealing with adversity: The poor suckers stuck behind the tractor on Route 30.

Local vitamin producer takes pride in concise product labelingBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
August 19. 2013 11:52PM
LONDONDERRY — Workers at FoodState Inc., the Londonderry-based manufacturing plant for Mega Food nutritional supplements, are already emphasizing the importance of concise ingredient labeling in their day-to-day practice.
Founded in New Hampshire in 1973, the company produces 130 different Mega Food vitamin products from scratch, using locally sourced fruits, vegetables and other natural ingredients.
In 2009, FoodState instituted a company-wide policy requiring documentation and labeling of all its ingredients and avoiding using genetically modified ingredients, according to Chief Executive Officer Robert Craven.
"One of our biggest challenges is educating consumers," Craven said. "We're huge proponents of the organic movement."
During a tour of the Delta Drive manufacturing facility Monday morning, U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter said such practices are currently the exception, not the rule — something she's hoping will eventually change.
The New Hampshire congresswoman recently cosponsored the Genetically Engineered Food Right-To-Know Act, which would require companies to label all food, drug and cosmetic products containing genetically modified ingredients.
The bill was assigned to a congressional committee in late April and has yet to appear before the House or Senate.
"It's not going to happen overnight, but we're still glad that people seem to be interested in this bill," Shea-Porter said on Monday. "My position is that consumers should be aware (if GMOs are present in products) so they can decide for themselves."
At FoodState, ingredients arrive in their natural state — like the fresh load of carrots being processed on site Monday morning. The carrots, which are used to provide a plant-based source of Vitamin A, were rendered on stainless steel conveyor belts, where they were stripped of all moisture, producing a flaky and fragrant powder used as the main ingredient.
Other ingredients, such as cabbage, broccoli, oranges, cranberries and organic brown rice are processed in similar fashion.
This production process, known as Slo-Food, was developed through partnered research at the University of New Hampshire, Craven noted.
Once the nutrients are derived, each of them is tested in an on-site laboratory to ensure product safety and consistency.
The company currently has approximately 165 employees, many of whom have been employed there a decade or longer.
"It's a very unique concept in the sense that we take food straight from the farm to factory," Craven said.
In an effort to achieve complete transparency, FoodState officials have taken things a step further by sending 30 or so company representatives out into the field to show the ingredients in their original habitat.
"We're taking photos on our iPads and putting them directly on our website," process developer Richard LaFond said. "That's the part I love, because we're big believers in transparency."
Stacy Gillespie, director of product marketing, said each completed tablet is treated to prevent oxidation and then checked by hand.
"They tend to be larger than your average vitamin because they contain whole food ingredients," she said, adding that the products are packaged in special glass bottles to protect them from light and oxygen, which can deplete the nutritional benefits.

The documents are from multiple departments of Soros' organizations. Soros' the Open Society Foundations seems to be the group with the most documents in the leak. Files come from sections representing almost all geographical regions in the world, from the USA, to Europe, Eurasia, Asia, Latin, America, Africa, the World Bank "the President's Office", as well as an unknown entity named SOUK. As the Daily Caller notes, there are documents dating from at least 2008 to 2016. Documents in the leak range from research papers such as "EUROPEAN CRISIS: Key Developments of the Past 48 Hours" focusing on the impact of the refugee crisis, to a document titled "The Ukraine debate in Germany", to an update specific financials of grants. An email leaked by WikiLeaks earlier this week showed Soros had advised Hillary Clinton during her tenure as Secretary of State on how to handle unrest in Albania – advice she acted on.

Published 14 hours ago on October 23, 2018 By The Duran Via RT… YouTube's CEO has urged creators on the popular video site to organize against a proposed EU internet regulation, reinforcing fears that the infamous Article 13 could lead to content-killing, meme-maiming restrictions on the web. The proposed amendments to the EU Copyright Directive would require the automatic removal of any user-created content suspected of violating intellectual property law – with platforms being liable for any alleged copyright infringement. If enacted, the legislation would threaten "both your livelihood and your ability to share your voice with the world," YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki warned the site's content creators in a blog post on Monday. The regulation would endanger "hundreds of thousands of job," Wojcicki said, predicting that it would likely force platforms such as YouTube to allow only content from a hand-picked group of companies. "It would be too risky for platforms to host content from smaller original content creators, because the platforms would now be directly liable for that content," Wojcicki wrote. While acknowledging that it was important to properly compensate all rights holders, the YouTube chief lamented that the "unintended consequences of Article 13 will put this ecosystem at risk." She encouraged YouTubers to use the #SaveYourInternet hashtag to tell the world how the proposed legislation would impact them personally. "RIP YOUTUBE..IT WAS FUN," read one rather fatalistic reply to the post. Another comment worried that Article 13 would do "immense damage … particularly to smaller creators." The proposal has stirred considerable controversy in Europe and abroad, with critics claiming that the legislation would essentially ban any kind of creative content, ranging from memes to parody videos, that would normally fall under fair use. Alphabet, the parent company of Google and YouTube, has opposed Article 13 for months. The measure was advanced in June by the European Parliament. A final vote on the proposed regulation is expected to take place sometime next year. World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales have also spoken out against Article 13. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Gelernter argues that Trump – despite being a filthy rich "parody of the average American," is is a regular guy who has successfully resonated with America's underpinnings. "Mr. Trump reminds us who the average American really is. Not the average male American, or the average white American," writes Gelernter. "We know for sure that, come 2020, intellectuals will be dumbfounded at the number of women and blacks who will vote for Mr. Trump. He might be realigning the political map: plain average Americans of every type vs. fancy ones." He never learned to keep his real opinions to himself because he never had to. He never learned to be embarrassed that he is male, with ordinary male proclivities. Sometimes he has treated women disgracefully, for which Americans, left and right, are ashamed of him—as they are of JFK and Bill Clinton. –WSJ Gelernter then suggests: "This all leads to an important question—one that will be dismissed indignantly today, but not by historians in the long run: Is it possible to hate Donald Trump but not the average American?". *** The Real Reason They Hate Trump via the Wall Street Journal. He's the average American in exaggerated form—blunt, simple, willing to fight, mistrustful of intellectuals. Every big U.S. election is interesting, but the coming midterms are fascinating for a reason most commentators forget to mention: The Democrats have no issues. The economy is booming and America's international position is strong. In foreign affairs, the U.S. has remembered in the nick of time what Machiavelli advised princes five centuries ago: Don't seek to be loved, seek to be feared. The contrast with the Obama years must be painful for any honest leftist. For future generations, the Kavanaugh fight will stand as a marker of the Democratic Party's intellectual bankruptcy, the flashing red light on the dashboard that says "Empty." The left is beaten. This has happened before, in the 1980s and '90s and early 2000s, but then the financial crisis arrived to save liberalism from certain destruction. Today leftists pray that Robert Mueller will put on his Superman outfit and save them again. For now, though, the left's only issue is "We hate Trump." This is an instructive hatred, because what the left hates about Donald Trump is precisely what it hates about America. The implications are important, and painful. Not that every leftist hates America. But the leftists I know do hate Mr. Trump's vulgarity, his unwillingness to walk away from a fight, his bluntness, his certainty that America is exceptional, his mistrust of intellectuals, his love of simple ideas that work, and his refusal to believe that men and women are interchangeable. Worst of all, he has no ideology except getting the job done. His goals are to do the task before him, not be pushed around, and otherwise to enjoy life. In short, he is a typical American—except exaggerated, because he has no constraints to cramp his style except the ones he himself invents. Mr. Trump lacks constraints because he is filthy rich and always has been and, unlike other rich men, he revels in wealth and feels no need to apologize—ever. He never learned to keep his real opinions to himself because he never had to. He never learned to be embarrassed that he is male, with ordinary male proclivities. Sometimes he has treated women disgracefully, for which Americans, left and right, are ashamed of him—as they are of JFK and Bill Clinton. But my job as a voter is to choose the candidate who will do best for America. I am sorry about the coarseness of the unconstrained average American that Mr. Trump conveys. That coarseness is unpresidential and makes us look bad to other nations. On the other hand, many of his opponents worry too much about what other people think. I would love the esteem of France, Germany and Japan. But I don't find myself losing sleep over it. The difference between citizens who hate Mr. Trump and those who can live with him—whether they love or merely tolerate him—comes down to their views of the typical American: the farmer, factory hand, auto mechanic, machinist, teamster, shop owner, clerk, software engineer, infantryman, truck driver, housewife. The leftist intellectuals I know say they dislike such people insofar as they tend to be conservative Republicans. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama know their real sins. They know how appalling such people are, with their stupid guns and loathsome churches. They have no money or permanent grievances to make them interesting and no Twitter followers to speak of. They skip Davos every year and watch Fox News. Not even the very best has the dazzling brilliance of a Chuck Schumer, not to mention a Michelle Obama. In truth they are dumb as sheep. Mr. Trump reminds us who the average American really is. Not the average male American, or the average white American. We know for sure that, come 2020, intellectuals will be dumbfounded at the number of women and blacks who will vote for Mr. Trump. He might be realigning the political map: plain average Americans of every type vs. fancy ones. Many left-wing intellectuals are counting on technology to do away with the jobs that sustain all those old-fashioned truck-driver-type people, but they are laughably wide of the mark. It is impossible to transport food and clothing, or hug your wife or girl or child, or sit silently with your best friend, over the internet. Perhaps that's obvious, but to be an intellectual means nothing is obvious. Mr. Trump is no genius, but if you have mastered the obvious and add common sense, you are nine-tenths of the way home. (Scholarship is fine, but the typical modern intellectual cheapens his learning with politics, and is proud to vary his teaching with broken-down left-wing junk.) This all leads to an important question—one that will be dismissed indignantly today, but not by historians in the long run: Is it possible to hate Donald Trump but not the average American? True, Mr. Trump is the unconstrained average citizen. Obviously you can hate some of his major characteristics—the infantile lack of self-control in his Twitter babble, his hitting back like a spiteful child bully—without hating the average American, who has no such tendencies. (Mr. Trump is improving in these two categories.) You might dislike the whole package. I wouldn't choose him as a friend, nor would he choose me. But what I see on the left is often plain, unconditional hatred of which the hater—God forgive him—is proud. It's discouraging, even disgusting. And it does mean, I believe, that the Trump-hater truly does hate the average American—male or female, black or white. Often he hates America, too. Granted, Mr. Trump is a parody of the average American, not the thing itself. To turn away is fair. But to hate him from your heart is revealing. Many Americans were ashamed when Ronald Reagan was elected. A movie actor? But the new direction he chose for America was a big success on balance, and Reagan turned into a great president. Evidently this country was intended to be run by amateurs after all—by plain citizens, not only lawyers and bureaucrats. Those who voted for Mr. Trump, and will vote for his candidates this November, worry about the nation, not its image. The president deserves our respect because Americans deserve it—not such fancy-pants extras as network commentators, socialist high-school teachers and eminent professors, but the basic human stuff that has made America great, and is making us greater all the time.

Published 1 day ago on October 22, 2018 By Nicholas Sampsidis I don't wish to dine with a Clinton Snowflake. And a Clinton Snowflake would rather see me off to San Quentin, the Deplorable that I am. Something happened under Obama-Clinton rule that has never happened before, not even in the heat of passions culminating in the Civil War. The country polarized, splitting into two groupings. Forever. Obama's, Grand Canyon divide was cemented, subsequently, by Clinton's "Deplorables" gaff interpreted as disdain and disrespect for the working, one-half of the country. Millions of Americans will never accept her and her Snowflakes and vice versa. "Never say never," it's said, often enough. But, this time, "never," is an unequivocal: "Never!" Quite simply, the Obama-Clinton regime politicized that which should never be politicized, namely, core beliefs and values, starting with God. Debate is one thing, but the regime followed up with direct and indirect actions, which some writers call rainbow fascism. "You won't bake a wedding cake for two gays out of some fossilized belief in scripture? We'll shut you down." The regime's aggression against the Church, the family, and the infant in the womb is dynamite inserted into the foundation on which the country stands. Along with compassion and sensitivity to opposing views, compromise used to help mend political wounds. It allowed the nation to move on after an election. However, when religious tenets are challenged by a political Party with executive order power, the door on possible compromise slams shut. Obama-Clinton politicized the sacred and the Holy, a big no-no considering that politics divide. It wasn't done out of ignorance, disrespect, or plain arrogance. It was a conscience, systematic attack by the Godless against God-fearing Christians. God either exists or He doesn't – no compromise, here. That is, "He might exist," placates neither the believer nor the atheist. The Bible is either the Word of God as delivered through His prophets or it isn't. No compromise possible. Abortion-on-demand is another issue without compromise considering the commandment: Thou shalt not kill (murder). There is also common sense compassion, which makes us human and says that abortion is wrong. You're either for murder of the defenseless or against it. A partial birth abortion, despite the insinuation of compromise in the term, is actually a viler variant of infanticide because it's performed in the last trimester, at 5-7 months. The well-developed, living infant is pulled out of the womb, legs first. The medical executioner then plunges a probe with a catheter into the living brain in order to suction out a bloody slurry and collapse the skull. Is it murder of the defenseless or a "woman's right" as Snowflakes call it? Clinton claims: "Fetuses feel no pain and have no rights." Curiously, Himmler leaned on a nearly identical contention to justify ghoulish, medical experiments on pregnant women in Konzentrationslager. Is there a difference? Indeed, there is. Clinton is a woman, making her serial murders more of a monstrosity. The Holy Bible is either the Word of God or it isn't. It's not a book to be adapted to one's whims or sexual lusts. Scripture strictly condemns male homosexuality in at least three passages and, implicitly, in some one-half dozen others. Nonetheless, Obama-Clinton attached the promotion of LBGTq-ism to the Democratic plank, overriding scripture. Clinton informed one audience that Christians would have to change their beliefs on some issues. Hold on! "I'm getting my musket," as more than one American has said. I used to enjoy dialogue. But a sour aftertaste remains from the last time that I waded, innocently enough, into an after-dinner, back-and-forth. The topic was the upcoming primaries. Dodging a flurry of leftism hooks from a New York Cityite at a Hamptons hideaway, I smiled through early-round attacks recalling how Mohammed Ali used to taunt opponents and cockroaches until they lost their cool. It worked. My opponent promptly tangled himself up in the ropes of his emotions. It became apparent, in the ensuing minutes, that the Achilles heel of the Left was the absence of a viable candidate. That is, one who could be liked – a leader with charisma with a realistic chance winning. Hillary was the only figure looming big on the horizon. After flying about on her crooked broom, peddling influence and laundering bloody cash from terrorism-sponsoring sheiks, wads of cash stuffed her Pampers. The Wicked Witch of the West, as victims of her foreign policy still address her, apparently, had it all. Except likeability. Or, something new to offer millions of working Americans beyond the scandals, a world in flames, and the same old corrupt things, starting with her foundation, which kept the cash but forgot Hattian children. Deep-down inside, my opponent knew that getting excited about Hillary would be a daunting task. It's precisely Hillary's inability to generate enthusiasm that eventually metamorphosed into, "What Happened?" It wasn't Russia; it wasn't the dog that ate her homework. As Secretary of State, Clinton's role in creating and sponsoring head-choppers, baby burners, and heart-eating fanatics in ISIS's jumpsuits was already well-established for anyone who was interested in looking beyond the hyaluronic acid smile and the praise of her attendant, media handlers. Propagandists led by CNN and MSNBC did their best to sequester her "Arab Spring" fiascos. Her ties and support of the Muslim Brotherhood, apparently, inspired by live-in aide and right-hand woman, Huma Abedin were off limits for the press. Lesbian lover or not, the real issue is the between-the sheets confidences of one woman, holding one of the highest positions in the US Government and another with connections to jihadist circles inspired by Sayyid Qutb, the godfather of al Qaeda. What would have been made of it by the press if Trump had a mistress whose grandfather was Osama bin Laden? Clinton's connivance, her intrigue, and her use of the sword to overthrow foreign governments constituted the essence of her foreign policy. Now, the rich, sweet thing is crying over supposed, Russian interference that she claims cost her the election! No proof of Russian involvement has been found, despite massive efforts and the wasteful expenditure of millions of dollars. Even so, in her warped sense of reality, it's inconceivable that American voters chose a vulgar, thrice-married, casino operator who trash talks instead of her. Curiously, it was Christians, in particular – Catholics, Protestants and the Orthodox – fearing a de facto Obama third term, who voted in droves for Trump. Jonathon Van Maren writes: "…Christians are having conversations around the dinner table about what do if the government forces curricula on them that they cannot accept, because their own government is increasingly indicating that Christian parents are too homophobic and too hateful to teach their own children." Fear is setting in at both ends of the political spectrum. Meltdown, weep-in snowflakes fear Trump yet he and Christians are not forcing the LGBTq groupings etc., to make lifestyle changes. In contrast, Obama-Clinton's Rainbow Fascism demands core value changes, or else! It's already ruining the lives of those who cannot compromise religious tenets. What's next? Obviously, children must be taken away from homophobic and irresponsible parents. It's already happening in Norway and Sweden. Curiously, WaPo's entire editorial board endorsed her. Isn't endorsement of Clinton's terrorism by proxy tantamount to being a terrorist? Can WaPo be trusted, again? Another liberally slanted paper, the NY Times largely swept Clinton's sordid past under the carpet, with about 90 percent of its articles casting her in a positive light. In contrast, it was open season on Republicans and, soon enough, on Trump. "Considering her international war crimes record, if you vote for her, as I'm sure you'll end up doing, you're going to be an accomplice. Of terrorism," I sighed. "So unfriend me now, please." Swinging, aimlessly – now, a bug in my web – my opponent's accusations turned Archie-Bunker-personal – "You're a SOB, M#*/!er. All you do is criticize but you haven't done squat! Do something in the community instead of blaming everything on Obama and Clinton. "Some time ago, I saw little, practical sense in it," I replied. "That is, in wasting time to change the system." If it was ever possible to improve matters on a local level, those days are gone. Plato, Socrates and Aristotle did not consider the rule of money to be compatible with democracy. After three, consecutive, two-term geniuses steering the US Titanic – Clinton, Bush, Obama – the scraping sounds of hitting the iceberg are all-too-audible. The mass media orchestra plays on yet the waterline has reached the nation's gunwales. "Sorry, trends are apparent enough. Liberty, freedom of expression – all on the wane. Government as well as media controls are tightening! Prisons are full. Stalin has been outdone. His maximum Gulag stay was 15 years regardless of the charge. What's ours? A life sentence for being in a romantic relationship with a drug smuggler? Common sense is being pushed aside by nonsense. Sorry, I find little sense building sandcastles at ebbtide." My opponent had had enough. Spilling whisky to get away from me, he spewed more venom and parted the room. Forever. CLICK HERE to Support The Duran >> Liked it?

State Sen. Martha Fuller-Clark won't face charges in Nov. 1 crash
By GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
— No criminal charges will be filed against state Sen. Martha Fuller-Clark of Portsmouth for an accident on Nov. 1 in which she struck a pedestrian with her car during what she later told police was a blackout.
Portsmouth Deputy Police Chief Corey MacDonald said there was no sign of impairment by alcohol or other drugs at the scene of the accident and based on the results of follow-up blood tests, the department does not plan to bring any charges against the long-time senator.
In the days after the accident — the second involving Fuller Clark in recent months — the 70-year-old senator said she had voluntarily stopped driving.
Fuller Clark's attorney, Wilfred "Jack" Sanders of the law firm Pierce-Atwood, said Monday that Fuller Clark's surrender of her license does not mean she intends never to drive again; she may seek reinstatement in the future, when she gets to the bottom of the medical issue that caused the accidents, he said.
"She was just shocked that this did happen and wanted to be checked out medically, for instance, and so she took this in a very, very responsible fashion," Sanders said.
Police said Fuller Clark was driving a silver Audi when her car went over the curb and struck Carla Dow, 67, of Kittery Point, Maine, on a Maplewood Avenue sidewalk.
Dow was taken to Portsmouth Regional Hospital, where she was treated and released.
Sanders said the senator is very sorry that it happened, and is glad the injuries Dow suffered were not severe.
"It's unfortunate there were any injuries, but we certainly wish her well," Sanders said.
He said he does not believe Dow plans to file a civil suit.
"This was a pure accident," Sanders said.
Dow refused to talk to the Union Leader Monday night, saying she had an attorney.
She would not give the name of her attorney.
In September, Fuller Clark jumped a curb in a median on Greenland Road, damaging a road sign.
She told police the area was poorly lit.
MacDonald said if Fuller-Clark had not surrendered her license in November, the department could have sent a letter to the Department of Motor Vehicles expressing its concerns and requesting a re-test.

VIENNA (AP) — Beyond having to deal with six world powers making demands on his country's nuclear program, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has another pressing problem: back pains so intense he's had to use a wheelchair.
Zarif heads the Iranian delegation at key talks this week with the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany.
He apparently wasn't keen on sharing his ailment with the public. Instead of leaving his posh Geneva hotel by the main exit hours after returning from the talks and complaining of back pains, he was wheeled out of the service entrance and into a waiting van Tuesday.
European Union spokesman Michael Mann said the pains did not stop Zarif from having a "cordial" dinner Monday evening with Catherine Ashton, the top EU diplomat convening the talks. But Zarif deputy Abbas Araqhchi said Zarif was "suffering a lot," although he intended to stay in Geneva until the talks ended.
Zarif's ailment became a political issue earlier this month when he fired back at hardline critics of Tehran's groundbreaking outreach to the United States, accusing opponents of using fabricated news leaks to undermine the effort.
Zarif said the political battles had become so tense it had thrown his back into spasm. He said the source of his distress was an article in the hardline newspaper Kayahan daily, which Zarif claimed misquoted him as saying the recent telephone call between the Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani, and his US counterpart, Barack Obama, had been inappropriate.
The stress this alleged misrepresentation, said Zarif, drove him to seek medical attention.
"I got pain in the back and foot after seeing the newspaper's headline this morning," Zarif said then on his Facebook page.
Rouhani's short-term priority is to negotiate an easing of western sanctions as part of negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. Talks in Geneva adjourned Tuesday until Wednesday after Iran presented what it said was potentially a breakthrough proposal designed to diminish international fears that Tehran wants nuclear weapons.

Community rallies to finish home for Norman family
- Written by Shannon Michael, Features Writer
Tucked deep into a beautifully wooded lot east of Woodinville stands a 1,000-square-foot labor of love.
It is the house John Norman, 31, was meticulously building in his spare time for his wife Breanna, their toddler daughter Cadence and their baby, Abigail, due in September. He wanted the house to be completed before Abigail was born.
However, on May 11, John, a concrete worker, was tragically killed on a jobsite when a tractor rolled over on him.
Mike Barter, best friends with Breanna's father, Eric Klos, began an effort to pay tribute to John by helping to finish the house for Breanna and their girls.
He knew it's what John would have done if the roles were reversed.
"John would have been the first one here to help. He was that kind of guy. It is an honor to do this in his memory," Barter said.
He added: "We're trying to get Breanna into the house to make her nest and have a healthy baby. We want to make this as easy as we can to reduce stress on the baby."
Barter reached out to a contact he knew at KING5 TV. They ran a story about the Norman family and the help needed to finish the house. That's how Ron Upshaw and Don O'Neill, co-hosts of the Ron & Don Show on KIRO Radio heard about the Normans' need and chose to become involved in helping the family.
"Most media outlets just report the story. The end," explained Upshaw. "Because we're entertainers, not journalists, we don't have to make it be 'The end.' Our show is a vehicle to empower people to be involved in their community."
That's just what happened. Ron and Don talked about the Norman family during their show on May 28, and while they were talking about it, the emails and calls started flooding into the station with offers to help donate supplies and services.
Producer Libby Denkmann worked with Mike Barter to post a list of supplies and skills needed to help complete the home on the show's website on May 29. The show's co-hosts asked listeners to help try to finish the home by Father's Day.
Since the story first aired on KIRO, Barter has been overwhelmed by the community support. "The benefit of the Ron & Don Show's involvement is the outpouring of experienced workers to volunteer. I've been taken aback by the number of calls received to help," he said. He is now coordinating all the donations of materials and services.
Upshaw, who recently moved to the Woodinville area, knew this would happen because a large number of the show's listeners are blue-collar workers.
It was an asset the show knew they had that could help with this particular project.
The Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters Union #41 teamed up with the Northwest Wall & Ceiling Bureau to coordinate vendor donations of drywall and drywall tradesmen volunteers such as Jamal Middlebrooks to install it.
The volunteers have often had stories of their own to share about why they wanted to help the Norman family. Many of their stories have comforted the family.
Middlebrooks, a carpenters' union representative and drywaller by trade, was installing drywall in one of the bedrooms last Wednesday. He'd driven up from Tacoma to work on the house after the union posted the call for volunteers on Facebook.
"This story grabbed me because John was a carpenter like me. I've been in the military, too, and wanted to serve. It also hit me because I'm the father of three girls," Middlebrooks said.
Over a dozen companies throughout the Puget Sound region have donated supplies and/or services. The Ron & Don Show's page on MyNorthwest.com lists the many generous donations.
The outpouring of support humbles Marc Norman, John's father. "Amazed. Grateful. Overwhelmed," were the three succinct words he offered when asked what it felt like to receive so much help.
While he is hopeful most of the work on the home will be completed by Father's Day, Marc thinks the home will be habitable a week or two after that day if all goes well.
Still on the list of projects to do are installing a septic system, finishing the concrete patio, creating a finished driveway and finishing the interior of the house.
The home is located on a pristine wooded lot owned by John's dad, and that's the way John Norman wanted the landscaping to be – natural, his father said. They would like to put in a small side yard later, though, once the home is finished.
Helping Breanna and her daughters are also on the list of things to do.
Kristina Spencer Becker, Breanna's best friend since ninth grade, is working with the Kirkland Eagles Club to accept donations.
They are looking for girls' clothing in sizes 2T and larger for Cadence and nursery and household supplies to help set up the new home.
"Breanna saved all of Cadence's clothing from when she was born, so she's all set for the new baby," Kristina said.
Donations can be dropped off at the club, located at 258 Central Way in Kirkland, Monday through Friday from noon to 10 p.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 8 p.m.
In addition to clothing and household supplies, Becker says Breanna and her girls could really use new furnishings, including window coverings, for the home, too.
The John Norman House Completion Memorial Fund on www.ucaring.com is a donation page set up for people to make monetary donations.
The fund was originally started to cover the cost for construction supplies to finish the house, but with the community so generously donating supplies, Becker hopes that any leftover funds can be used by Breanna to furnish her home.

Condom Distribution Not Answer to Curbing Spread of HIV in Africa, Pope Benedict Says
March 18, 2009
Distributing condoms is not the answer to curbing the spread of HIV in Africa, Pope Benedict XVI said on Tuesday while heading to Yaounde, Cameroon, as part of a seven-day pilgrimage to the continent, the AP/Washington Post reports. "You can't resolve it with the distribution of condoms," Benedict said, adding, "On the contrary, it increases the problem" (Simpson, AP/Washington Post, 3/18). According to Benedict, addressing HIV/AIDS will require a "two-fold" solution. He said, "The first is a humanization of sexuality, spiritual renewal which brings with it a new way of behaving ... secondly, a true friendship, especially for those who are suffering, a willingness to make personal sacrifices" (Ward, Toronto Star, 3/18). Benedict, who also said the Roman Catholic Church is at the forefront in fighting HIV/AIDS, will visit Angola and Cameroon (Simpson, AP/Washington Post, 3/18).
According to London's Guardian, in 2005 during a meeting with senior clergy from Africa, Benedict called HIV/AIDS a "cruel epidemic" and said it could not be eradicated with condoms. The pope said that the "traditional teaching of the church has proven to be the only failsafe way to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS" (Butt, Guardian, 3/17).
According to CNN analyst and senior correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter John Allen, Benedict been clear that he intends to uphold the traditional Catholic ban on artificial contraception. However, according to Allen, Benedict also has asked a panel of scientists and theologians to consider whether to allow condoms for married couples in which one partner is HIV-positive, adding that it is not clear how the pope will decide the issue (CNN, 3/17).

The story of this plane goes back 20 years to a chance encounter I had with a Cecil Pierce jack plane. Pierce was a planemaker in Maine who made beautiful planes for more than 50 years. Just a one-man operation, an avocation really, for the love of the craft. I saw the plane while on the road in a shop where I was teaching and its shape captivated me. I drew its plan. I was to the point of asking if I might buy it. I was smitten.

Angels' Weaver wins pitching duel
Jered Weaver and John Lackey hooked up in a pitching duel that pitted former teammates against one another. There was no animosity, with Weaver crediting Lackey for helping him develop and Lackey playing the part of proud big brother.
Weaver got the best of Lackey on Sunday night, combining with three relievers on a five-hitter as the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Boston Red Sox 3-0 for their 10th win in 12 games.
"He got me the first time we matched up and it was nice to be able to even it up," Weaver said. "He did a lot of great things for the Angels and for me. He kind of took me under his wing and taught me a lot of things."
Weaver (3-4) allowed five hits, struck out six and walked two in 6 2-3 innings.
"That's my boy," Lackey said. "He's become a great pitcher in the league and he's fun to watch. He was pretty good when he got here. I mean, he started off like 9-0 or something (as a rookie). We discussed more things off the field, preparation-wise, than pitching stuff. He had that down pretty good from the start."
Lackey (6-6) entered the game on a roll, with a 3-0 record and a 2.17 ERA over his previous four starts. He struck out nine in seven innings and was charged with two runs and five hits.
"I don't know if I've ever seen John Lackey have better stuff," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Those two guys went pitch-for-pitch. It's the best stuff Jered's had all season."
Ernesto Frieri pitched the ninth to earn his 22nd save in 24 chances.
Weaver gave up back-to-back hits to Jacoby Ellsbury and Daniel Nava to open the game, and then got out of the jam by retiring Dustin Pedroia on a liner to third base, and striking out David Ortiz and former Angel Mike Napoli.
"Stuff like that's going to happen," Weaver said. "You just got to limit the damage."
It was Weaver's first outing since becoming a father on Friday, when he named his first child Aden David Weaver in honor of his late teammate and friend Nick Adenhart.
"In the back of my mind I was anxious to get back over to the hospital," he said. "It'll be fun to pick him up and cuddle with him."
Weaver and his wife, Kristin, will take the baby home on Monday, an off day for the Angels before they open an interleague series in Chicago against the Cubs on Tuesday.
Weaver joked that young Aden would get the game ball, saying, "He deserves this one. He's been gripping pretty hard with his left hand."
As he always does, Weaver scrawled the initials `NA' into the mound before his first pitch of each inning.
"It means a lot to us to be able to keep Nick's memory alive," he said. "We're always thinking about him."
Mike Trout, who will start for the AL in next week's All-Star game in New York, put the Angels ahead 1-0 in the first with his 15th homer.
Hank Conger made it 2-0 with two outs in the fifth, with his drive landing in the same right field area as Trout's shot.
"The second one, I'd like to have that pitch back for sure," Lackey said. "But the first one was a great player doing great things. It was about 96 and away. A pretty good hitter made a pretty good swing."
Albert Pujols singled with two outs in the sixth and the Red Sox shifted their infield for Josh Hamilton, leaving third base open, which allowed Pujols to take third as Hamilton walked. But Howie Kendrick grounded out to end the threat.
The Red Sox had runners on first and second in the seventh, with Weaver yielding singles to Napoli and Brock Holt before turning it over to Dane De La Rosa, who got Jose Iglesias to fly out to right to end the inning.
The Angels added a run on Mark Trumbo's sacrifice fly in the eighth.
NOTES: Lackey and Weaver faced off previously on July 27, 2010, in Anaheim, with Lackey earning the win. … Red Sox OF Shane Victorino wasn't in the lineup a day after leaving the game with a left hamstring injury, the same thing that landed him on the DL last month. … Red Sox LHP Andrew Miller returned to Boston on Sunday with a walking boot on his left foot. He was to be examined further on Monday.
