Cod Almighty | Match Report
by Tony Butcher
17 December 2017
Ah, our mutual monochrome friends, it's lovely to see you again. The small café, the park across the way, we'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places. Let's talk about the noise.
A bone-crackingly chill afternoon in the Trentside Golden Triangle of Sport (©Wilkinson & Lund Estate Agents to the Mock-Tudored stars in local bars) with a straight 1,500 traveling Townites shuffling through the hazy maze of the Jimmy Squirrel Stand.
Town lined up in electric blue in the old familiar 4-4-2 formation as follows: McKeown, Mills, Clarke, Collins, Davies, DJ Jinky, Summerfield, Rose, Dembele, Jones and Matt. The substitutes were Killip, Dixon, K Osborne, Berrett, Woolford, Vernon and Hooper. It's another same-again-Saturday for Slade's secret shapeshifting shufflers and scufflers.
The Men of Pie wore their washed-out, tatty version of Town's kit with a strike force as ancient as the hills and only slightly younger than Collins and Clarke. They think they look pretty good together. Yeah, slapdash Stead and the animatronic Ameobi are that old. At least Town's back four hundred year olds won't be out-paced in the walking race.
There's no substitute for experience? That's what the substitutes are for. Let's get on with it, there's a car park ticket ticking down somewhere in West Bridgford.
First half: Pitch and shot putt
County kicked off from left to right from the Town fans' perspective, towards the old away end, but not the old-old away end. It's all a question of perspective, isn't it?
Is that chips or mash with your pie? Both? How inelegant, how greedy. County smashed forwards, Town chipped forwards and both sets of forwards were smothered by Christmas jumpers. Don't say you weren't forewarned about the forward momentum. Mills got in the way of a woefully poor Pieman pass. A thing almost happened.
Aha, Town with triangular chocolates. Crosses, corners, and that ancient lost art of passing the ball to each other on the ground and moving your legs a bit. Simple things, simply done. A corner grazed away from Collins' lurking forehead, a chuck unhurled and Davies rolled to the rolling Matt. The ball bumbled off the Jam-man and Summerfield's silky shins tackled a cheeky chip towards the top right corner. Fitzsimmons fell back to flip over. Town, unlucky to not score flukely.
Mills again, handily ambling into the right place to avert arbitrary almostness.
Chip and chase, chip and pin, and pin the tail on the donkey. Which one? There's so many to choose from. Have we stumbled into an episode of Antiques Roadshow?
Notts County? Not a problem. DJ jinked, Collins almost winked, a corner flabber-dabbered through and over and around, hitting legs and things, pinballing into the keeper's hands via parts of Matt. Has Jamie Mac touched the ball yet? I'm glad you asked, otherwise you may believe, in error, that these Meadow Lane mumblers had a shot. Sir, that was no shot, that was a Mitch Rose back-pass, lofted with a sand wedge from the middle of the fairway and into the middle of the green.
A Town chuck in, deep in the Town half, hooked on by Jones, and we're hooked on a feeling for DJ Jinky. It was full steam ahead, destination unknown, everybody cheering and no Pieman steering. DJ was dancing through their captain and we all had fun as four worker bees smelled the honeypot as his hips swayed on. A little lick to Matt, a little bit of wiggling and jiggling, and a whole lotta loving going his way if only Fitzsimmons hadn't kicked against the weight of history and kicked the ball away.
This is no time for soundbites, but Countymen felt the hand of history on their shoulder with a constant craving for falling and bawling. So that's their tactic. Their singular tactic. Get a free kick five yards in from the touchline inside the opposition half, coil the free kick into middle of the area and all jump at the keeper. Then see what happens.
Nothing happened.
And nothing kept happening the same way. Fall, fling, bawl. Boo-hoo.
Don't tug back with rancour, he heard the ref say. And Jones did keeping chugging and tugging and was eventually booked for persistent pringle-flinging.
More nothingness not happening.
Are they hanging up the ball across Town's wall? Are we hoping that the Imps will start to fall? So here it is Merry Halftime everybody. We're having fun, in our own way.
How the heck are they joint top?
Second half: At least the roads are clear around Newark
Neither team made any changes at half time.
Oh, what's goin' on? Ah, that's what's goin' on. It's keepin' track of the fact watching them passing back that makes the world go 'round.
Countymen ran around a bit more, that's all. They're still felling and yelling, mismanaging the ref with their moaning and groaning at the slightest nudge. Ups were undered, chips were fried and they chased and chased and chased their own tails with no particular place to go.
In the meantime, right on, brother. What's that sound? Each time they try you hear a loud collective sigh from Ladies and Gentleman of the Pie. They're making sludgeball to watch dry paint dry.
Clarke flung his long short throws loopily, repetitively upon the home heads in a long loop of repetitiveness, repeatedly. And again, once more. What again, so soon. Yes, flung and hung and bundled back, Clarke caressed a corking cross to the near post, Matt stooped and guided lowly wide. Don't get excited, he's not short, but he was offside.
Do get excited, because Dembele is short. Twisting his melon marker inside-outside, nowhere to go and crimbling a wayward waft into the home stands, highly, widely, wubbishly.
Here they go again, crying in the chapel at any old challenge, plunging lower than their necklines as Rose collided with their egos.
Nagging and nicking, forever kicking, County kept playing squash against Town's brick wall. A cross, a corner, a fling, a flan and Rose invaded some personal space down by the corner flag and the free kick was coiled into the near post. A striped head met ball and Jamie Mack's fists for a sore head and a goal kick. Wasn't worth it, was it laddie. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat? You, yes you. You behind the bike sheds, stand still laddie.
A break and a flake as DJ Jinky sneaked behind the left-back deep inside the County area. A turn inside and the blueman was leveraged aside. The ball was welly-welly-wellied away and into touch off blue. Chuckled quickly, Stead turned and burned Clarke, prancing off into the distance down the touchline. McKeown hared out, slithered across the turfage and legged up the Leggy Mountbatten of the lower leagues as the ball carried onwards and out of play. One day Stead will be gone you know, tragically taking a teaching job in Australia. The Countyites were shocked and stunned by the news that McKeown was only booked.
Shocked. And stunned.
Jamie Mack punched the free kick away which, for them, counts as a chance. A chance perchance for them to dream of something actually happening at all.
And then Vernon replaced Matt. Oh yes, we replaced a lack of pace with a lacker of pace. Woah, here we go again. Some anonymous ambler on some enchanted evening carooned lowly across the face of goal through a thicket of multi-coloured boots and safely wide. Relax, relax, relax, these Piemen have no gravy in their boat.
When there's something strange in the neighbourhood, who's Russ gonna call? Martin Woolford. Off trotted DJ, escorted by the referee and on came the Old Man of the Sea. Don't mock this turtle, for Woolford immediately grazed away a corner and marvellously overhead heel-flipped down and down and down the touchline, petering out through old age, but satisfyingly far, far away from the Town half.
Them. Substituting Stead for another guy, who was less tall, but his pace was high. Forte, whose forte is not shooting straight. Nice. A bit of this and that and Rose was nudgled as he swooped towards bumblage near the penalty spot. Off they ran and Forte flabbled a fudge yards wide.
You only need to know of one more moment in space and time. Allassandra wriggled and lollipopped, Ameobi arose in the middle, eight yards out and marvellously thumpled a header six yards wide. Marvellous. Hooper puppy-dogged on for Dembele and four minutes were added. Just enough time for them to cry baby a couple of times and Clarke to haul one more long-short chucker onto the heads of passing magpies.
Have you noticed something? McKeown never made a save. It was rather too easy to stop these awfully average Allerdycian wannabees. You can see why County are marooned in mid-table, not very busy going nowhere. Oh, sorry, I forgot… facts. Appearances can't be that deceiving, can they? The table must be fake noos.
A typical mid-table, mid-season mumblefest of meanderings and muddles from the mediocre and mundane. What a division, eh.

All over the world there are preachers, Church and business leaders, sporting coaches and many others making the most of the fact we have finally made it to 2020. Not only is it a new decade and a great number, but people are using the double meaning to sprout forth their new vision for this year. We have all heard the term '20/20 vision' in relation to our eyesight and so as this year has progressed I have heard and read many encouraging messages exhorting us to have 20/20 vision in 2020. So what is 20/20 vision?
According to the American Optometric Association, 20/20 vision is a term used to describe normal visual acuity (the clarity or sharpness of vision) measured at a distance of 20 feet. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. If you have 20/100 vision, it means that you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet.
Having 20/20 vision does not necessarily mean you have perfect vision. 20/20 vision only indicates the sharpness or clarity of vision at a distance. Other important vision skills, including peripheral awareness or side vision, eye coordination, depth perception, focusing ability and colour vision, all contribute to your overall visual ability. Some people can see well at a distance but are unable to bring nearer objects into focus. This condition can be caused by hyperopia (far-sightedness) or presbyopia (loss of focusing ability). Others can see items that are close but cannot see those far away. This condition may be caused by myopia (near-sightedness).
So how is your spiritual vision in 2020? Are you near-sighted and can only see what is happening in your narrow circle of influence? Do you have any clarity of vision into the future? What is God doing on the horizon of your life and ministry? How about your peripheral awareness and side vision? Are you really aware of those around you in life and ministry? What is God saying to them and doing through them? What is God calling you to do for them and with them?
How is your depth perception? It is so easy for us to be consumed by all the surface stuff in life. There is so much happening around us in our busy world that just keeping up with the magnitude of activities and commitments of life make it very hard to stop and drill down and dig deeper and find the rich, fertile soil which lies below the surface.
As circumstances have dictated, 2020 has been a year of transition for me in most areas of my life and ministry. So whether I like it or not, my vision has been tested and challenged in a variety of ways and my focus is being drawn way beyond its current limits. That is challenging, exciting and just a little frightening.
However, I need to remember that all vision ultimately depends upon our light source. Where there is no light – there's darkness. Where there's darkness, we have no vision. So I must make a fresh commitment to walk in the Light – Jesus Christ – and trust God to give me 20/20 vision in 2020 and beyond. I pray you will join me.

Newburgh's Robin Lawrence relentlessly positive in the face of stage 4 cancer
NEWBURGH – Nothing stops Robin Lawrence. Not even Stage 4 cancer.
Her house is known as "Robin's Nest," which features beautiful gardens, flowers, plants and her paintings. One of her special loves is butterflies, especially the Monarch. She works incessantly to keep living things around her growing and blossoming.
No matter the circumstance, Lawrence looks for a positive spin, which is readily evident in her many sayings and slogans. She believes beauty conquers the ugliness of cancer, COVID-19 and yes, recent tornadoes. Her unflinching attitude in the face of pain, infusions, chemo, radiation and surgeries is something to behold. Her anal rectal cancer spread to her liver, where a tumor grew so large she could feel it. Instead of becoming depressed, she gave it a nickname: "Tommy tumor."
The April 8 storms left Lawrence without power. But that was nothing compared to incurring roof damage in the EF-2 tornado that hit Downtown Newburgh on March 28.
Lawrence said that tornado dredged up past fears. It's the third one she has had to deal with. Her grandfather, Joseph Talentino, was killed in the Palm Sunday tornadoes on April 25, 1965, that struck Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Iowa. Robin was just four years old, living in Vanada Station in Newburgh. Her parents, Bob and Mary Lawrence, went up to Hillsdale, Michigan, where her grandfather lived when the tornado hit.

I have footage of the horrendous devastation caused by it," she said. "Not until I was in my first one did it truly dawn on me — this is the way my grandfather died. That's when I went out and got the tattoo of a four-leaf clover saying 'Live, Love…deeply and always.'
"After the last tornado hit on leap year (2012), I went out and bought a couple of bicycle helmets," Lawrence said. "I was in my middle closet, talking to my daughter (Kori), telling her it was hitting, and I loved her."
When the March 28 tornado struck, Robin and Kori were watching the television news, seeing that it was coming their way. They got their helmets and again went to the middle closet, holding onto each other.
"It was terrifying… the sound and pressure, the fear all surfaced up again," Robin said.
After the tornado had passed, her power was off and her roof was damaged. Water was pouring inside her attic.
She lived on Lancaster Drive, off Bell Road, in Newburgh when the 2005 tornado struck.
"Some homes on Lancaster Drive were completely destroyed, others were OK," Lawrence said. "Ours was damaged. But the house across the street from us was gone."

Battling Stage 4 cancer
Lawrence loves the documentary "Heal," empowering viewers to take charge of their own health with alternatives for healing through positive thinking.
"We have more power than we think or give ourselves credit for," she said. "And we are all connected."
Dr. Chris Braden told Robin, her daughter and sister-in-law, Cindy, at her April 2019 appointment that she had only six or seven months to live. Robin is now at 26 months.
"He continues to say 'Whatever you're doing, keep doing,''' said Lawrence, who formally resigned her position as oncology liaison at Evansville Cancer Center on Dec. 11, 2019. "I hope to be here for a long time."
She lives by her slogans, such as: "The rest of my life is the best of my life" and tries to eliminate stress.
"I'm not dying from cancer," Lawrence said. "I'm trying to live fully… I just happen to have cancer."
In her Robin's Nest, her chrysalids enclose in a cocoon, before turning into a butterfly.
"They've taught me many lessons," Lawrence said. "I raised and released 65 last year. I'm a certified Monarch Weigh-station."
However, she said her Nest is looking pretty sad right now.
"But it'll be OK," Lawrence said. "Everyone has a daily choice. To be bitter or to be better. I choose better. Life is short and precious."
Living on borrowed time, she preaches "faith over fear, always."
Lawrence has had several people who also have cancer reach out to her through private messages on Facebook. She has helped them deal with their illness at all times of the day or night.
"One, I even arranged a private Reiki session at her house," Lawrence said. "Three or four are no longer here. But none of us get out of this world alive. How do you wish to be remembered?"
Since Robin was diagnosed, Kori has been to every single appointment, scan, test, procedure and treatment.
"There were lots of tears," Robin said. "But we made it OK."
One of her arm tattoos reads: "this too shall pass."
"Life is a beautiful gift," Lawrence said. "I'm hoping this virus makes us more compassionate, kinder and loving."

Travel to Portugal - UK Passport Validity after 31st Dec. 2020
UK Passports – Anomaly re expiry dates
Ex Pats who travel between Portugal & the UK should pay attention to this.
There are many Countries in the world which require you to have at least 6 months left on your passport, before allowing entry. After the end of the transition period i.e. the 31st December 2020 for British passport holders this will apply to all EU Countries except Ireland.
So after you just have to look at you passport and see when it expires and renew it 6 months before that to make sure you can still fly from the UK to say Portugal right? Here's the rub, maybe NOT!
Last time you renewed your UK passport the government will have issued your new one with an expiry date 10 years after the date the old one was due to expire. So if you renewed it 6 months before it was due to expire to make sure you could travel to say the USA (or you did it a couple of months before to be on the safe side), you will have actually been sent a passport starting on the date of renewal and expiring 10 years and say 6 months later.
Now to the important bit, for reasons I have not been able to fathom the UK Government is warning that those extra months may not be counted as part of the 6 months you need before expiry. (I think it must be that other Countries re issue passports to expire on the anniversary of the renewal date not the old expiry date)
In this case you will need to renew your passport by 9 years and 6 months from the date of issue, ignoring the actual expiry date printed on it!
Here is my actual situation as an example:
I had a passport: issue date 17th Oct 2000 / expiry date 17th Oct 2010
In 2010 I was planning on visiting Moscow a few times and so needed to have 6 months on it, I therefore renewed it in April, not waiting to October.
New passport: issue date 29th April 2010 / expiry date 17th Oct 2020
The Government warning is that some Countries will count the 6 month validity as 6 months before the 29th April 2020 NOT 17th Oct 2010!
There is a facility to test this on the Government website. I tried it last year as if I was going back to the UK just before Christmas and returning to Portugal on the 17th Dec.
I inputted my DOB, issue date, expiry date and travel date as UK to Portugal 17/12/2019. This meant I would seem to have 10 months left on my passport.
It came back with:
You should renew your passport for this trip
In this anomalous situation it is taken that I only actually have 4 months.
This is a little known consequence of Brexit.

Don't Stop Believin': The Staying Power of Search Term Optimization
Some things never outlive their usefulness. Just as a steering wheel remains the preferred method of driving a vehicle, the use of keyword search terms in ediscovery remains a powerful technique in the ediscovery world. In recent years there has been considerable attention on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning techniques being applied to the challenges of ediscovery document review.

We're somehow already halfway through the first (and probably only) season of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and it shows in the pacing of Episode 3, "Power Broker."
Although the action-packed story we get on this episode isn't a bad one, it is a big shift from the previous two episodes that took their time treating our protagonists more like people and less like superheroes.
The mission on this episode is their biggest yet, starting with them breaking Zemo (Daniel Brühl) out of prison much to Sam's disapproval.
Do I find it hard to believe that Zemo isn't in a higher security prison after bombing a UN meeting and killing a king? Yes, but here we are.
There's plenty of tension between him and Bucky, because of the whole mind control thing, but lots of comedy too.
It's amusing to see Brühl inhabit the role with a bit more camp this time. Between learning that he's actually a wealthy Baron with a private jet and butler to him lecturing Sam on fashion, he's a very odd villain indeed.
Zemo trying (and failing) to bond with Sam over Marvin Gaye is truly one of the top "I never thought I'd see this" moments.
This scene comes after he steals Bucky's journal, which we get confirmation is the same journal Steve used. Fans already thought this was the case, but to know for sure makes your heart ache a little extra.
Bright Lights, Big City
Heading to Madripoor, a crime-ridden independent island, to track down a Hydra contact with information about the Super Soldier serum spurs most of the action and adventure of the episode. Given Madripoor's lawlessness, the scenes can feel like a riff on John Wick and similar films.
One scene in particular, when a bounty is placed on their heads and everyone in the city gets a text alert, is literally a copycat from John Wick 2, but imitation is the highest form of flattery I guess.
For fans of the comics, Madripoor is a well-known location. Seeing the MCU put its own spin on it and seamlessly incorporate it into the plot is an exciting indicator that the MCU is ready to dig into the darkest corners of Marvel.
Even more exciting? The return of Sharon Carter (Emily Van Camp). The MCU struggled to find a place for the character, with her short-lived romance with Steve Rogers falling flat, but now she's back and even more badass than ever.
Seeing her so jaded after being on the run for so many years can be a tough pill to swallow. Her losing faith in heroes makes sense in context and fits into the theme of the post-Blip world, but also seems wrong for the character.
"Look, you know the whole hero thing is a joke, right? The way you gave up that shield, deep down, you must know it's all hypocrisy."Sharon Carter
Everything we knew about the character (which admittedly wasn't that much) contradicts this change of heart, so it will be interesting to see what comes next for her now that she's teaming back up with heroes.
A pardon may be in her future but there's also something else afoot. A scene later in the episode where she meets up with a mysterious associate indicates there might be more than meets the eye to Sharon's new life. What secret is she keeping?
The scene can be interpreted as her working with the bad guys (or being the bad guy), but I choose to think she's undercover for an organization we haven't seen yet. The only thing worse than making the niece of Peggy Carter date Captain America would be making her a damn villain. Do better Marvel!
The rest of the episode does get weighed down a bit by an exposition dump involving the mad scientist Dr. Wilfred Nagel who helped recreate the Super Soldier serum. We learn about the original government project to recreate it using Isaiah Bradley and Madripoor crime boss Power Broker's decision to revive it after the Blip. And then a rocket launcher blows the lab up.
You Good?
The whole situation leaves Sam thinking he should've just destroyed the shield and that Captain America's legacy is completely tainted. They still have to deal with the Flag-Smashers though so unfortunately we don't see this emotional response explored as deeply as I would have liked.
Marvel wants its television shows to be different from the movies… until it doesn't. We saw this towards the end of WandaVision and now we're seeing it in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
It's clear the focus of this episode is to set up the plot for the rest of the season. It's arguably necessary given how few episodes they have left to work with, but still feels a little basic compared to the depth we got in the first two episodes.
"Power Broker," devotes an adequate amount of time to emotional revelations and big themes, but starts to slip into a bad habit of "telling" instead of showing. Zemo and Sharon's speeches about the failures and dangers of heroes could both serve as a thesis for the show, but neither is as effective as watching John Walker scream, "Do you know who I am?" at a refugee.
While Bucky and Sam are tracking down the Super Soldier serum, the Flag-Smashers show no signs of slowing down. Even Lemar Hoskins points out to Walker that they've won the people over with their humanitarian missions.
But it's not all peaceful redistribution of goods, as we see Karli Morgenthau escalate things by blowing up a Global Repatriation Council station.
We now know that the new Super Soldiers are from Madripoor and double-crossed Power Broker. Is that who sent Morgenthau the threatening text? If so, she may have bigger problems to worry about than Fake Cap or Sam and Bucky.
Bucky has a new problem of his own. After arriving in Latvia, Ayo (Florence Kasumba) from the Dora Milaje shows up to get Zemo. Not sure how White Wolf is going to talk his way out of this one.
Additional Thoughts:
- The transition from the glossy commercial of the Global Repatriation Council to the refugee camp at the beginning of the episode really underscores the power dynamics of the post-Blip world.
- Bucky calling the guards "meatware" was… a choice.
- I'm sure the Madripoor appearance is going to send the internet into X-Men theory madness but can we all just keep a level head about this? They are not showing up yet!
- John Walker is still the worst. Fortunately, we didn't have to spend too much time with him on this episode.
- Does Wanda know Sokovia is completely gone? Just wondering.
New episodes of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier premiere on Fridays on Disney+.

It is the southern United States, it's almost always backyard BBQ time. The weather is a little milder in the winter, and we're just plain dedicated. But for the folks up north – where I'm originally from – the BBQ and grilling season doesn't really take off until the Memorial Day weekend.
I can tell you that's a big weekend because the number of people online checking out grills and recipes drives my traffic through the roof that weekend.
Since this is the beginning of the season, I thought I'd do a quick rundown of everything you need to do to get ready for it. Personally, I'm a year rounder, so I take care of this sort of thing continually, but you can definitely forget a few things when your body and mind are frozen for 7 months in the great white north.

Make sure there are no Wasp, Bee or Hornet Nests in your BBQ Grill Cover!
I just got an email a few months ago about a guy who heard buzzing when he got near his grill. Whether it was from past experience, I'm not sure. But, he decided to rig an automated Hornet sprayer on the end of a rake.
I slid the rake under the grill and cover and it let loose until it was empty – while he ran the other direction. When he came back, there was a 12-inch pile of dead hornets below his grill. Yea. Be very careful!
Give Your Charcoal BBQ or Gas BBQ a good cleaning
You should probably do this at the end of the season so all that gunk isn't sitting there getting harder over the winter. If you have a gas grill, make sure you check your burners and igniters to make sure they aren't beginning to rust or fall apart.
This will happen eventually, but following the care suggestions in your manual can extend life. Also, make sure you clean the grate well. If you clean it too well, you may have to re-season it, though.
Pick a Date For Your Next Backyard BBQ Party And Invite Your Friends
Don't wait until everyone has already committed to favorite dates like Memorial Day Weekend, Fourth of July or Labor Day. Bastille Day really isn't that big of a deal in the States so plan early and lock your friends in.
Dude, Cook Some Real BBQ – Not That Fake Stuff Like Grilled Chicken With BBQ Sauce.
I'm sorry, but if you're going to have a BBQ party in your backyard, be different. Do it the right way. BBQ is all about low temperature cooking for long periods – and almost always with some smoke. If you have a gas grill, well it's going to be more difficult, but doable.
If you really want something special, add a decent Smoker to your arsenal like a Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker Cooker. The reason is simple, a gas grill is nearly impossible to run at a low temperature like 225-250 F – especially for long periods.
I've tried and I just eat through propane like nobody's business. That's expensive! You can even find very inexpensive smokers (even electric ones) that do a decent job. The Brinkmann Gourmet Charcoal Smoker is pretty inexpensive and can get the job done
Remember that BBQ is not Sauced
This is fairly important. You can't cover grilled meat in BBQ sauce and call it a Backyard BBQ party. All you need is one wise-cracking expert (like me) in the crowd to ruin all your fun. First, the food won't be as good, and second, this is supposed to be your moment to shine. To learn how to do it right! You'll have more fun and you'll become addicted to smoke at the same time.
Dig Out Your Pork Shoulder and Pork Rib Recipes
Make sure you introduce your friends to a well-smoked pork butt. When you start pulling that apart, you will see that beautiful smoke ring. And when you dig in to taste it, your eyes will bug right out of your head.
Same thing for properly done baby back ribs. If you do a backyard BBQ and do these right, your friends will honestly be flabbergasted. You just don't see this kind of cooking up north.
The bottom line is to have fun with your backyard BBQ. But, you'll have more fun if you do the real BBQ. Do it right, you'll be glad you did.

Fortified wines are a category that have had distilled spirits added to them during the winemaking process. These include popular dessert wines such as vermouth, sherry, and port.
Our advice is always "drink it when you want to," but typically PX (Pedro Ximenez) sherry is enjoyed with dessert while oloroso, amontillado, and palo cortado can be served with main dishes.
There are five basic types of fortified wine: sherry, port, vermouth, Madeira, and Marsala. Technically, however, any wine that has had neutral spirits added to it can be classified as a fortified wine.
Standard wine is produced from grapes through fermentation in a standard winemaking process, while fortified wines have had distilled spirits added to them either during winemaking or to the finished product. Fortified wines typically have a higher alcohol content than their unfortified counterparts.
It varies by the wine, but most dessert fortified wines fall into the 15-24% ABV range, while unfortified wines have a typical average ABV of 11-16%.

Nashville Predators 3, Chicago Blackhawks 1 FINALNHL.com @NHLdotcom
CHICAGO (AP) _ Steve Sullivan made the most of his return to Chicago, and the Nashville Predators are one win away from their first postseason berth.
Sullivan, traded on Feb. 16 to Nashville after four seasons with the Blackhawks, scored a power-play goal and assisted on another as the Predators downed the Blackhawks 3-1 Thursday night.
``That's what they came and got me for, to score goals,'' Sullivan said.
Jeremy Stevenson had a goal and an assist, and Tomas Vokoun made 34 saves as Nashville took both games of the home-and-home series and moved into a three-way tie for the final two playoff spots in the Western Conference.
The victory gave the Predators 89 points, the most in their six NHL seasons. Nashville is tied with idle Edmonton and St. Louis, a 3-2 loser to Detroit. The Predators and Blues have two games remaining, including a head-to-had match in Nashville on Saturday afternoon. The Oilers have one game left, but lose the tiebreaker to Nashville.
``It would be great to get back to the playoffs,'' Sullivan said. ``I'm looking forward to it.''
Adam Hall had the other Nashville goal and Scott Walker added two assists.
After the game, the Predators were already thinking about the Blues.
``It was a huge game for us,'' Vokoun said. ``We've got be focused on Saturday afternoon. It will be a huge game again.
``That's when you find out how good you can be.''
Stevenson is excited about the prospect.
``The next game is going to be unbelievably good,'' Stevenson said. ``It's going to be a playoff game.''
Tuomo Ruutu scored for last-place Chicago, which got 26 saves from Jocelyn Thibault but remained winless (0-4-2-1) in seven games.
Sullivan opened the scoring with a power-play goal at 11:34 of the first period. With the puck in the corner, Sullivan skated around Steve Poapst and drove to the net, slipping the puck under Thibault.
``I think Joce has the edge against me,'' Sullivan said. ``Joce is an all-star goaltender. He had me guessing on the breakaways.''
Thibault faulted himself.
``The first goal, I usually don't give up that kind of goal,'' he said. ``It was a tricky play by Sully. I should have had that save.''
Hall made it 2-0 just 28 seconds later. Following a faceoff in the neutral zone, Hall beat Jason Strudwick to the puck and skated in unopposed, lifting the puck over Thibault's left shoulder.
Ruutu beat Vokoun low to cut the lead to 2-1 midway through the second period. After intercepting a clearing pass, Eric Daze passed to Ruutu in the slot for the quick shot.
Stevenson added a power-play goal with 3:37 remaining. Sullivan led the rush along the far boards and centered to Stevenson, who fired a shot between Thibault and the left post.
Thibault was making his first home start since Oct. 19. He had lost two road games after missing 60 following hip surgery Nov. 15.
``I'm pretty satisfied with the way I played,'' he said. ``I made a couple of mistakes, but mostly I did the right things.''

Religious Freedom or Child Abuse' Drawing the Line between Free Excercise and Crimes against Children in Georgia

This project examines how Georgia draws the line between religious freedom and child abuse. In Georgia, certain religious parents are granted spiritual exemptions for conduct that would otherwise be prohibited due to its potential harm to children, while other parents must alter their religious practices to conform to the law. An examination of Georgia law governing conduct that is both religiously-motivated and poses a risk of physical harm to children illustrates that Georgia's spiritual exemptions have contributed to producing legally-defined religious orthodoxy, inconsistent regulation of religious conduct, and less stringent state protection from harm for the children of some religious parents.

Matador Messenger Exclusive : Creating Programmable Computers with Straws
Quirkbot is a toy that allows you to build and program your own robots with regular drinking straws. It is compatible with the open construction toy Strawbees and can be used along with readily available materials like regular drinking straws, LEDs, and hobby servos (motors) to create a wide variety of hackable toys suitable for anyone aged 10+, according to quirkbot.com.
Carl Bärstad , lead instigator with Kids Hack, explained the motivations inspirations behind their product development in an exclusive interview with Matador Messenger.
1. What inspired you to create this product? What need where you trying to find a solution for? Who came up with the idea?
"The inspiration behind the Quirkbot came from a need to make Kids Hack Day more sustainable in the long-term as well as improving the experience for the kids at our events. The lead instigator of Kids Hack Day, Carl Bärstad, was thinking a lot about possibilities for Kids Hack Day to develop their own product and build a technology program around that. It was then at the first Kids Hack Day Sydney event that took place in December 2013 that the idea of an electronics module for the Strawbees building system came to life after having seen how the kids interacted with straws and the existing electronics tools we were using."
2. What makes your product different others in the same field?
Quirkbot is unique in the sense that it is completely open-ended and works with off-the-shelf components. We sell servos, straws and sensors but you can also get these yourself from any radio shack or local convenience store. You can even produce your own Strawbees using our die cutter or a laser cutter. This open source approach to both Quirkbot and Strawbees, as well as the flexibility of the system makes both of them really suitable for education. Because Quirkbot is completely open-ended it is also the perfect tool for creativity because it doesn't constrain the user to any particular types of structures. The only limitation is your own imagination.
3. How are you planning on selling your product? (Stores, online, etc…)
3) After the kickstarter we are planning to open a store on www.quirkbot.com to continue pre-sales with shipping in August. The pre-sales will end in july and we will re-open the store after we have delivered the first bade by the end of august. During the spring we will also let schools and afterschool programs sign up for our Robotics Program which we will launch for the fall semester.

Launching your network marketing business is nothing compared to when it really starts to grow. Now that you're ready to take on a team… you'll need to have an effective way of training those who are joining your team. Training a team is not always the easiest task in the world, but it definitely doesn't have to be the hardest. How would you like to find out some secrets to grow your network marketing team into a successful operation?
First and foremost, you need to make sure that you're really training those who want to join and immerse themselves in the work.
You're going to get a lot of people that are interested, but never really follow through. Network marketing can seem scary and a bit intimidating to those who are just beginning, but that doesn't have to be the case! What you'll need to do from the very start is make sure you set some goals with each and every member of your team. These need to be goals that are not only attainable, but in done so in a reasonable amount of time. Without these kind of goals, it will seem as if the training program has no purpose!
You'll need to meet either face to face or on Skype and spend at least an hour chatting about goals for not only the individual, but also the entire team! It would be smart to check back in with each other periodically regarding goals. You can decide how long to make the intervals, but I would say no longer than a few months. This way, you can always make sure that everyone is on track and that no one wastes time working on goals that just aren't going to work.
Another tip in how to grow your network marketing team is to be sure to encourage them to invite people and share on social media.
The best way to do this would be to lead by example, so to say. You need to walk the walk and talk the talk if you want to really be able to grow and prosper. Make sure your social media is on point and always consistent. This will show your new team members a great model to design themselves after. After all, network marketing is all about generating leads and there's no way you can do that if you're not connecting to people!
In sum, the main point of network marketing is in it's name: network. Without your network, you have nothing. You've got to grow your network marketing team and develop a training program for them to grow it for you. Let me know if you got some great stuff from this post! I'd love to share more with you… just send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll get back to you ASAP!

Confidence, comfort growing for rookie Ivan Provorov
PHILADELPHIA — The whirlwind has been constant since training camp when the two rookies, Travis Konecny and Ivan Provorov, were told they made the team.
Two 19 year olds who realized their dreams of making the NHL now have a handful of games under their belts and whether those results are good or bad, they're still trying to find their footing.
MORE: Full Flyers coverage
"The boys are trying to do everything for Travis and I to feel welcome," Provorov said. "They talk with us about little things when they can and we're slowly starting to get comfortable."
Saturday night, Provorov was very comfortable. He had a two-assist night, blocked four shots and booked nearly 20 minutes of ice time in the Flyers' 6-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.
"I felt comfortable from the first shift and I built off that," he said. "I thought had a good game. It helps when the whole team plays well. We had a great team game today and that helped a lot, too."
It was much better than Tuesday in Chicago when Provorov was a minus-5 on the night. His play for the night as a whole wasn't indicative of that statistic, but there were certainly things going against him. For one, he fell with control of the puck and it led to one of the Blackhawks' seven goals.
After the game he got some advice from another young defenseman, although Shayne Gostisbehere was three years older than Provorov in his rookie campaign.
"Hey man, we've got 79 more of these things so I would get over this one," Gostisbehere told Provorov. "You're a hell of a player. You're gonna make good plays and sometimes you don't get the bounces."
Saturday the Flyers changed Provorov's defense partner, putting him with Brandon Manning who was the team's best defenseman in the first week of the season.
"I've said this year we have a lot more trust in our system, especially defensemen," Manning said. "If he knows what's going on in all situations and aware of that…he's a very good hockey player. He's improving and will get more comfortable. If I can make it as easy on him as I can and make sure he's comfortable in all situations, hopefully that helps him out."
Even at a young age Provorov is showing he's able to handle the ebbs and flows of the league and let a night like that one in Chicago roll off his back and not take a single game's statistics for more than they're worth.
"It happens. Those games happen," Provorov said. "You've just got to learn from your mistakes and move on and don't do it again. Games like that happen. Everybody makes mistakes. Everybody goes minus in games. It's not something you should really push down on yourself. You've just got to learn and limit those kind of games."
That kind if maturity is part of why Provorov made the team in the first place.
"I've been really impressed with him, how he's handled everything along the way," coach Dave Hakstol said. "Like any young player, he's had his ups and downs, but he handles things as we hoped he would, really professionally. He's a really good evaluator of his own game and has the mental maturity to process things."
New Line
With Friday's three-game suspension to Dale Weise the Flyers had to juggle lines, reuniting leading-goal scorer Matt Read with Nick Cousins. They switched positions, too, with Read going back to his right wing and Cousins the left. Pierre-Edouard Bellemare was in the middle, centering a line that's suddenly got a lot of speed.
Hakstol said he saw chemistry in the past with Read and Cousins and expected the group to be off to a good start. Cousins, who was playing on the fourth line, suddenly had a new role — get the puck to the hot hand.
"If we can get him the puck he's gonna make things happen," Cousins said of Read. "He's moving his feet a lot more and it's fun to watch. He's going to the hard areas and that's where you want to score goals. He's been a good player for us so far so I'm happy to have him on our line."
Loose Pucks
Saturday marked the first time through five games that a goalie had made consecutive starts, with Steve Mason getting the honors. … Roman Lyubimov went in on the fourth line leaving the Flyers with no healthy scratches and Weise and Radko Gudas serving suspensions.

As one of its key priorities, CABI under the Action on Invasives programme aims to raise awareness about the threat of invasive species with the relevant government departments in Pakistan. In particular to address the issue of the highly invasive Parthenium weed. Through public awareness campaigns and sharing invasive management advice for better control practices, CABI wants to ensure communities are aware of this aggressive weed and its effects on agriculture and health.
To that end, CABI organized a one-day Training of Trainers workshop with the aim of ensuring that key stakeholders were not only fully aware of the threats of Parthenium but also how to manage it.
A number of departments covering everything from extension and rural support to livestock, fisheries, and forests and wildlife, from across the country (Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Sindh) took part in the training.
Participants learnt in detail about the identification and management of Parthenium including how to differentiate it from other weeds, plus its impacts on crops, livestock and human health. As well as Parthenium, other harmful invasive species which could be present in Pakistan were outlined. Parthenium is only one of many invasive species and it's an important stepping stone for considering how to tackle other invasive threats to Pakistan.
The trainees took a deep interest and asked a range of different questions followed by an engaged discussion. At the end of training, materials such as booklets, leaflets, and audio-video resources were provided to facilitate further training sessions in their regions, thereby extending outreach.
The workshop was inaugurated by chief guests including Dr. M. Anjum Ali – Director General Agriculture (Extension & Adaptive Research) Punjab, who highlighted the extensive damage caused by parthenium to Pakistan's crops, environment and its harmful effects for livestock and human health. He appreciated the efforts of CABI to highlight this important issue.
In the first session a brief overview of CABI's global Action on Invasives programme was given, highlighting the importance of the work and informing the participants how it is improving lives of rural poor across the globe through an environmentally sustainable and regional approach to biological invasions.
Trainers also discussed pilot activities in Sheikhupura and Islamabad where CABI has been running awareness campaigns. Covering 438 villages, farmers in the region were given training on Partenium identification and management. In Islamabad CABI set up stalls in two of the city's major parks, reaching around 2,000 passers-by.
CABI is continuing to run mass awareness campaigns both in person and online in Pakistan raising awareness about this noxious weed and ways to manage it safely.

Legal News & Analysis – Asia Pacific – Singapore – Intellectual Property
In a statement before Singapore's Parliament, Senior Minister of State for Law, Indranee Rajah, said that the Government was planning to consult with industry stakeholders on how website blocking could work in practice.
"The Ministry of Law and other agencies are currently deliberating the role of site blocking as a measure to help counter the ease of accessing copyright infringing material online," Rajah said. "How we do this will need to be carefully considered. We are finalising our review and will be consulting the industry and public on the appropriate approach to site blocking in the coming months."
Rajah said that the development of "appropriate regulatory measures" should form part of a "multi-pronged approach" to tackle online copyright infringement. Initiatives to better educate the public about copyright and its importance, as well as the promotion of "legitimate digital content services" are also needed to address the problem, she said.
"A sound and pro-business copyright framework requires the protection of the rights of rights owners as well as the legitimate market access by consumers," the Minister said. "Both objectives are crucial to a vibrant creative industry. We are reviewing our Copyright Act to ensure that our laws keep up with emerging technologies and social norms."
Technology law expert Rosemary Lee of Pinsent Masons, the law firm behind Out-Law.com said: "Despite having robust intellectual property laws, Singapore has high incidences of online piracy, not least due to the tech-savvyness of the populace and an extremely high residential internet penetration rate. This development signals a move towards tougher enforcement of IP laws and ties in with Singapore's IP Hub Masterplan to become a global IP hub."
New website blocking regulations were anticipated in the UK, under the Digital Economy Act, although the sections of the Act that permitted the new rules to be drawn up have subsequently been repealed. A process was envisaged under the Act which could have seen courts issue injunctions against internet service providers (ISPs) ordering them to block their customers' access to copyright infringing websites.
The Government dropped plans to draft new regulations after a high-profile High Court case involving BT and six major film studios proved that existing UK copyright laws provided for the same kind of injunctions to be issued.

Cardenas tries
Life looked easier on election day
NO SANE man would want Cuauhtemoc Cardenas's job. In December he took over as the—at last—elected mayor of Mexico city, for 70 years misgoverned by the ever-ruling Institutional Revolution Party, its mayors hand-picked by the president. Mr Cardenas inherited a vast sprawl choked by pollution, menaced by crime and paralysed by corruption. And only half is his: the Federal District, his patch, holds 9m people, while over 12m, though very much inhabitants of the city, are governed by the surrounding state.
Mr Cardenas is not insane; but he is ambitious, which helps. A founder of the left-leaning Party of the Democratic Revolution, he is eager for the presidency in 2000. Twice defeated for that post, he could prove and aid his claim to it by his performance as mayor. So far, he has not done so.
To the voters, he represented change. Today, his administration still looks mainly honest and well-intentioned—a big shift—but other change is scarce (bar some overdue resignations, notably of police officers with histories of torture and murder). To his voters, pollution and crime, the two things that trouble them most, look no better. And this month, when he published a long-awaited development programme for the next 2 1/2 years, it was criticised as late, vague—and much like the unfulfilled promises of previous administrations.
He has been unlucky with pollution. To add to man-made filth beyond his control (eg, from brick-works outside the Federal District's boundaries) came El Niño. Yet even what could have been done about that was not. At the end of May the smog index rose high enough to trigger extra restrictions on cars. They remained in force for five days. So did the smog. Only when the trouble was over did the authorities reduce the level that would trigger restrictions.
As for crime, new measures are being tried, such as putting more police into the worst spots, and concentrating on certain types of crime. Mr Cardenas is proud of the resulting drop in armed bank robberies; too bad that unarmed ones have risen even more. Overall, reported crime has fallen by 5% since December. But why? Because, says a survey by one criminologist, far fewer crimes are now reported. In 1995-97, about 30% of victims went to the police; in the first five months of this year, 20%. Less crime? No—if he is right—more. Policing, in fact, needs not tinkering but radical reorganisation. The force, for instance, is actually several forces, doing different but often overlapping jobs, and only poorly in touch with each other.
As for Mr Cardenas's new programme—admittedly, based on a budget fixed two weeks after he took office—some of its 1998 objectives are meaninglessly vague ("control" of the city's debt), others absurdly specific (public services are to use 11.53% less energy, a precision that not even the mayor pretends to understand). Most important, though it talks of transparency, vigilance and training, it offers no clear strategy to fight the corruption that infects so much in the city, from policing to vending licences.
Of course, the mayor's broad vision is to be translated into further, more detailed targets. And there have been minor successes. An accord with the 180,000 street vendors to limit where they trade seems close at hand. After long negotiation with the federal government, the Federal District was recently allowed to subject trucks from outside—where fake certificates of cleanliness are easily bought—to its own anti-pollution rules. Soon, owners of pre-1985 cars will get the right to part-exchange their jalopies for a small, quiet, clean auto metropolitano, to be built by General Motors. But Mr Cardenas will have to do better than this to prove his fitness—and win the uncommitted votes—for higher office.

Revitalizing Multilateral Governance at the World Trade Organization
The trading system is in crisis. Urgent action is needed to revitalize its central organ, the World Trade Organization (WTO). Such action must come from its Members and be based on renewed multilateral dialogue on the use and effects of trade-distorting policies in both developed and developing nations. Dialogue is also needed to resolve conflicts regarding the operation of the WTO dispute settlement mechanism and to assess the functioning of the organization.
The fundamental consensus norm has been abused to resist multilateral discussion of new policy areas and concerns regarding the functioning of the organization. Members should reflect on whether WTO bodies provide them with the information they need to assess implementation of existing agreements and identify gaps where the rules need to be updated. Without discussing how the WTO operates, Members will not be able to create a framework for issues such as the governance of digital trade or how to enhance trade's contribution to societal goals.
All WTO members benefit from the rules-based trading system. Participating in mega-regional trade agreements offers a complementary vehicle for cooperation to countries willing to deepen integration of markets, but this is not a viable alternative for many developing countries and risks fragmenting the rules that apply to global value chains. Nor will such agreements discipline key trade-distorting instruments such as subsidies.
Safeguarding the WTO is particularly important for smaller countries. Only the multilateral trading system offers them the opportunity to influence the development of new trade rules.

Air Jordan 1 Mid Appears With Multi-Color Swooshes: Detailed First Look
While it may not be as popular as the Air Jordan 1 High OG, there is no denying the merits of the Mid silhouette. First off, the Mid is typically less expensive than the High OG and is released in greater quantities which means it is more accessible to general consumers. If you're someone interested in sneaker culture but want a place to start, the Air Jordan 1 Mid is always a great entry point into the game.
Having said that, Jordan Brand is always coming through with new colorways of the Mid and thanks to @hanzuying, we now have some detailed images of a brand new Air Jordan 1 Mid. As you can see from the photos below, the shoe is mostly white on the upper with blue and red overlays. The most interesting detail is the Nike swoosh which is blue, red, and yellow repeated over and over again.
Interestingly enough, there is no name attached to this colorway and so far, it is unclear as to when they will be released. Regardless, it appears to be a pretty intriguing colorway that will surely be making its way to store shelves soon.
Stay tuned for updates on this release as we will be sure to bring them to you.

Why the clothes got mildewed?
Have you ever be troubled that your white clean shirt got some black mildew spots or bad odors? In rainy season, it is even worse. Why the clothes got mildewed? The main reasons are the following below:
1. Mould is the main cause of mildew in garments, while the wet environment (high temperature and humidity) is the fundamental cause.
2. The main raw materials of garment are cotton, linen, leather, silk, wool, and chemical fiber etc. They contain high moisture content, and easy to absorb water.
For example, the leather generally contains more than 14% moisture content, some even 18%. When the moisture content above 12%, there is a mildew risk.
3. The oil stain, sweat, dust on the clothes are also easy to lead to bacterial and mould.
4. Improper storage probably causes your clothes damage.
If your clothes are not completely dried but storage quickly, then, it is particularly easy to get mildewed. The basic requirements for storage are ventilation, cool, dry, and avoid sunlight exposure. The methods vary according to different clothes. When season change coming , before collect up the off-season clothes, you'd better wipe the collar, cuffs, lapel clean by water or little alcohol solution. It must be fully dry before stacked up and storage.If leather clothes got mildewed, use a towel dipped with soapy water to wipe clean the spot, after be fully dried, coat some jacket oil.
5. It is necessary to check your cabinets, clothing storage container etc. In good weather and leisure days, open the closet door, clean the mildew, and especially check the corners. Keep the wardrobe dry and ventilated .It is very easy to get mildewed in South China rainy days .It is necessary to take precautions, like put some desiccant, moisture absorber box into the closet, wardrobe, cabinet in advance. Put some newspaper on the bottom cupboard.
6. For large numbers of clothing manufactures 、exporters, neglecting moisture prevention will very likely to get loss.
Finished clothes are put into the carton box, and then transported across ocean by sea containers. During the transportation, they encountered the container rain that excess vapors drop onto the cartons or along the container wall, because of huge temperature and humidity change, causing damage and mildew. As we all known, China is a big trading country. According to General Administration of Customs statistics, from January to August, 2016, China's textile and apparel exports amount is nearly 180 billion US dollars. Every year, the damage loss because of moisture is huge. So it is very necessary to take precautions measures. Please use container desiccant to hanging at the container wall to absorb the vapors. You need also use small desiccant bags in your carton box so as to protect your garments, cartons from moisture damage. Actually, desiccant bags is very useful in absorb moisture. My suggestion is do not forget them when you are ready to transport across the sea.

text: I have always liked this gag, originally produced in 2004. Of course, today it appears a bit dated. Obviously, there's the cathode-ray television set. It goes beyond that, though. While there are more "devices" than ever in our lives, their portability and versatility have made obsolete entire genres of purposely "portable" products. Today, Janis would, of course, be tracking the storm on her cell phone, which makes every storm look as if it's right on top of you. I noticed one other oddity in this particular strip. Do you see it? In all the years I've been drawing Arlo & Janis, I'll bet there haven't been half a dozen strips wherein they both address one another by name. Well, the "Arlo & Janis Summer Art Show and Sale" has exceeded my expectations, quite frankly. Thanks to all who visited, and thanks, of course, to those who bought an original comic strip. All art will ship immediately after the sale ends Thursday. That's right! There still are strips left to buy and time to buy them.

Our work is traditionally in the United States but we were asked to speak and I'm very happy to come here and speak about what's going on in our world and what's going on in the world of policy. So today I'm going to speak about the evolution of advocacy – where it started, where it is now, the evolution of patient-centred care, what that means, defining what patient-centred care means. There's a lot of discussion on it but not a lot of definition to it. Then I'm going to discuss a policy and how policy happens in Washington and how you implement science into policy and what that process is. We're going to give three examples: the Lung-MAP Master Protocol, Breakthrough Drug Designation and the integration of the Oncology Centre at FDA.
What is the Breakthrough Drug Designation?
The Breakthrough Drug Designation is a policy decision that we were able to get into law, into statute. It simply started with the FDA asking a very simple question – what should we do when we see substantial new evidence in a drug? What should we do? It seemed like it was pretty obvious but it wasn't obvious and it took us about a year to work with all sectors, companies, scientists, regulatory agencies, the National Cancer Institute, to make recommendations because, as obvious as it was, it really isn't obvious in every disease setting. If you ask a statistician that question they're going to give you a different answer; if you ask a patient it's going to be different and every disease setting is very different. So ultimately we published a white paper and then decided to bring it into legislation; it was part of the Drug User Fee six years ago in Congress and it's a statute. What it did initially is we thought it would be two drugs a year, mostly cancer. Now, four years later, it's 250 drugs and it's cancer is 60% so it changed behaviour.
How are patients involved in that?
Patients are involved in everything we do. Patients are the North Star, they're the centre of what we do. So we ask patient groups what are most important to you? What are the outcomes you're looking for? Patients clearly want to get treatments that have efficacy and that are most likely to work for them, so when we ask patients we ask them levels of risk, levels of tolerability, whether they have one or two biopsies, what outcomes are they most interested in. Of course, that varies because when a patient has early stage prostate cancer or breast cancer their risk elements are going to be very, very different from late stage glioblastoma or pancreatic cancer or lung cancer. So it's not one easy answer and the evidence, based on what regulatory standard, will vary also. But certainly the patients are willing to take more risk, depending on their stage of cancer.
What do we really mean with the term 'breakthrough'?
Good question, a very complicated answer. Breakthrough, first of all, is a legal statutory definition in statute in the law. So essentially Breakthrough Designation is what the FDA can give a drug if they see substantial early evidence. The way they decide that depends on the disease state and the preliminary evidence but it has to be substantial. It doesn't mean if they get the designation that they will get approved. Now, of course, for a patient that is a little bit confusing and for the media it's confusing because it means there is substantial early new evidence that was unexpected. In many cases it does work out and the drugs do get a final designation but in some cases the evidence isn't substantial at the end after the phase II or phase III and they do not get the designation. But it means that there is new evidence that is interesting, worthy of pursuing.
Tell us about the Lung-MAP trial.
Lung-MAP Master Protocol, that is a lung cancer trial. We started off with squamous cell, it is now all histologies. It's a public-private partnership between the National Cancer Institute, the Foundation for NIH, Friends of Cancer Research and multiple pharmaceutical companies. Essentially that's a genomic driven trial where patients with specific biomarkers are given specific treatments based on those biomarkers. Those that don't have a biomarker are given immunotherapy. So everyone who is screened, there is a genetic screening, we're using the Foundation Platform, will have an arm. Many of the frustrations for patients in rare diseases is they're, in some cases, 2%, 5% of the population and it's very, very, very difficult to find these patients and many of them who are screened don't have one of these mutations and then they don't have a trial. This trial has an arm for all patients; it is late stage, it's refractory but it's also a registration trial.
How does all of this resonate with the WIN missions?
It's exactly compatible. The Lung-MAP, although we are in over 600 sites in the United States and in Canada, we're really, with the exception of Canada, not an international trial. Most of the work that we do at Friends is really based on the United States so the fact that we are breaking down silos in the international part of what WIN is doing is extremely interesting to us and very important.
What would your take home message be?
The take home message is that the patient is always the North Star, working together, taking down barriers, being audacious. And the urgency and passion the patients feel but they have to be scientifically rigorous and it has to be meaningful for patients. So the idea of working together is really important.

I was asked today "Are you a red letter christian?"
The context for this was a Facebook 'discussion' (an oxymoron?) about the Israel Folou tweets and the traditional conservative view of same-sex relationships. As part of this discussion I had said "The religious hypocrisy I see Jesus attacking is the religious leaders who place heavy burdens on people ('others'), and don't examine their own personal lives and actions. This placing burdens on OTHERS, rather than genuine self-reflection and personal change is the problem. And I see this these days in the sexuality 'argument'. Straight christians telling gays what they should or shouldn't do – this is placing burden/law on 'others' – and is actually based on a very small number of highly debatable scriptures. If Jesus had said "don't be gay", it would be quoted/tweeted everywhere. But he said "Give to whoever asks of you" (& many other things like this) – these get conveniently ignored or explained away. This, combined with telling gays what they should do, becomes the speck in their eye plank in my eye behaviour that Jesus criticized."
The question about 'red letter christian' presumably relates to the prioritizing of the words of Jesus (hence marked red in some bibles), and promoted by people like Tony Campolo (one of my heroes), Jim Wallis & Shane Claiborne in the 2000s. Wikipedia has a nice summary including "… an evangelical movement that focuses on the teachings of Jesus Christ, particularly in regard to social issues. … While many Christians throughout church history have defined themselves as emphasizing the teachings of Jesus, this modern movement was initiated by Wallis and Campolo, who felt the religious right spend too much time on two issues: abortion and homosexuality. They believe Christians should be paying attention to Jesus' words and example by promoting biblical values such as peace, building strong families, the elimination of poverty, and other important social justice issues. They believe that these are the issues that Jesus spoke of directly, and therefore these issues should be social and political priorities. Other issues such as the question of homosexuality and abortion are viewed as important but over-emphasized by both liberals and conservatives."
The 'red letter' question brought to mind something I taught as part of Hermeneutics (Interpreting the Bible) at Bible College two decades ago. This was something I developed myself, and I (still) haven't found written anywhere – although presumably wiser & more eloquent people have written about it in much detail.
The reality is that christians take some scriptures as being more relevant, authoritative and applicable than others – and this is the right thing to do. BUT unfortunately this can be done in an unbalanced and self-serving way – as I was trying to point out in the FB discussion. A few debatable NT scriptures that might be about some sort of same-sex thing are used to tell others (gays) how they should live, while hundreds of very clear scriptures about materialism, care for the poor, loving our neighbour (starving in Sudan) as ourself are conveniently ignored.
Assessing the relevance/applicability of Scriptures
It seems to me that there are a number of considerations that should be taken into account when we determine the applicability of specific scriptures in our personal lives today. AND we should ensure that we are much more self-critical than critical/prescriptive of others – our aim with this should be to learn more about how I should live – not what I should tell others to do.
Here are some of the general considerations IMHO. The list is not exhaustive (you can probably add to it), and is not in any particular order. The first ones are what I taught at Bible College. The last three are more recent additions as a result of my journey.
- Who said it? – Jesus? Paul? Pharisees? Cynics? Enemies? Satan?
- Who was it said to? – Disciples? Followers? Crowds? Religious leaders? People testing Jesus? Specific individuals? Specific tribes? Israel?
- Where was it said? – Gospels? Paul's writings? Ecclesiastes? Revelation? Leviticus?
- What type of saying it is? – Command? Comment? Reflection on life? Lie or deception? Poetry? Philosophy? Song? Myth? Cynical comment on life?
- How many times it was said?- Many times? A few times? Once?
- How similar is the setting to our current time/place/culture? Can we understand the context it was written for? And if so, how similar/different is that to our context today?
- How clear is it? – Are the words used in the scripture clear/unarguable? Unusual? Unclear? Debatable? A strange choice of words? (other 'better' words were available but not used)
- How does it look viewed through the 'lens of Jesus'? (eg Greg Boyd & Brad Jersak )
- How does it fits with the 'trajectory of Scripture'? This is "a hermeneutical approach that seeks to locate varying 'voices' in the text and to view these voices as a progressive trajectory through history (or at least through the Biblical witness); often a trajectory that progresses through to the present day." wikipedia
All of these questions help us evaluate and prioritise the relevance of specific scriptures towards the way we (should) live our lives today – helping answer the question "How then should I live?"
So – back to the original question "Are you a red letter christian?" – it seems that in many ways I am. The answers to the considerations/questions above lead to a prioritising of the words of Jesus, and especially what he said to his disciples – so many of the red letters become very important. And I tend to agree with the red letter viewpoint that many 'christians' "spend too much time on two issues: abortion and homosexuality." and that instead we "should be paying attention to Jesus' words and example by promoting biblical values such as peace, building strong families, the elimination of poverty, and other important social justice issues".

Major pipeline reaches milestone as Line 3's Canadian section goes into service
Enbridge begins commercial operation of pipeline from Alberta to Manitoba, but U.S. section still in the works
A major pipeline project — long anticipated by the Canadian oilpatch — reached a significant milestone Sunday as Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline from Alberta to Manitoba is now up and running.
Calgary-based Enbridge sees commercial operation of the Canadian portion as important progress, even as the U.S. portion of the pipeline replacement project is still navigating Minnesota regulators.
"It has been a long road," said Leo Golden, the vice president in charge of the Line 3 replacement project.
"It has been, I would say, a challenging road at times for sure, but ... we have achieved something that we are all very proud of in terms of putting this in service."
The Line 3 replacement is the largest project in Enbridge history, with a total cost expected to top $9 billion, of which the Canadian portion is about $5.3 billion.
The company has operated Line 3 since 1968, shipping oil from Hardisty, Alta., to Superior, Wis. The Canadian portion of the line runs from Hardisty to Gretna, Man., a distance of 1,067 kilometres.
Plans to replace the aging pipeline — using pipe made from thicker, stronger steel and protected by an improved exterior coating — began to be discussed in 2013.
Following regulatory filings, the federal government signed off on the multi-billion dollar project in 2016, while on the same day rejecting Northern Gateway, another Enbridge pipeline.
On the U.S. side of the border, the Line 3 project is still working its way through regulators.
The American part of the project could still be in service in 2020. Timing is unclear, though, after state utility regulators in Minnesota in October ordered further study on the potential effects of oil spills in the Lake Superior watershed.
The failure of pipeline expansions to keep up with growth in oilsands production has been blamed for steep oil price discounts in Alberta.
Upon full completion of Line 3, the pipe will have oil export capacity of 760,000 barrels per day (bpd).
Until the U.S. side of the project is finished, it will operate at about 400,000 bpd. Still, that will help the company boost the oil-moving capability of its current system across western Canada.
Finishing the Canadian portion of the pipeline is a case for "cautious optimism," said Kevin Birn, an analyst with IHS Markit in Calgary.
"Despite [pipeline projects] taking multitudes longer than anybody anticipated, they're slowly inching toward completion," Birn said.
"You're kind of seeing a potential pathway out of [the] current ... constraints in western Canada."
Birn said the U.S. portion of the project appears to be on track.
Of the other two major oil pipelines for Canadian crude, construction is proceeding on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion to the B.C. coast. The Keystone XL pipeline has been delayed by court challenges in the U.S.
All three major pipeline projects have faced opposition over concerns about their environmental impact, including climate change, should Alberta's oilsands continue to grow and add to industry's carbon emissions.
Golden said the new line will be safer and more reliable, while also requiring less maintenance.
"It is incredibly important," he said of the project. "It is bringing into service over 1,000 kilometres of new pipeline that is improving the safety of our operating facilities across the Prairies."
Golden said work on the Canadian portion of Line 3 came in ahead of schedule. The project included over 1,100 Indigenous workers, representing more than 20 per cent of the total workforce, he said.
Golden said work has started on decommissioning the old pipeline, which will take a number of years to complete.
