we’ve been asked to reproduce julian email with the details of the new legislation in a separate post so that people have to go through the mammoth post to find it, so here it is. now, because people are clearly wanting the debate to stay in one place, closed off comments. if you have a point to make, please do it on this post here. not doing it to be evil and awkward but because people have us for having too many threads going on on the same subject, so we are listening and doing it this way to see if it works. not set in stone. anyway, over to julian: from julian huppert: as a liberal, i care passionately about civil liberties, privacy, and the need to limit abusive state surveillance. but i also know that there is a need for the police and intelligence agencies to have the tools to do the job we give them as long as they are carefully controlled, appropriately used, and proportionate to the threat faced. those concerns are key and i have often been incensed at the way governments, whether labour or tory, have used threats for terrorism or anything else as a reason to chip away at our individual freedoms. we must not and will not allow this. there is an issue we have to deal with now. the european court of justice threw out the european data retention directive, which all collection of communications data in this country. i with the reasons, but we must acknowledge that it causes real problems we do need to have some way to keep some communications data, but under very careful control. some people would love to use this to bring back the awful communications data bill known as the charter that nick vetoed last year. a number of tories pushed it and labour tried something similar themselves. we will not allow this to happen. blocked it once, and we will continue to do so. this legislation just allows the agencies to continue with their current abilities. i’ve had the chance to speak to nick and norman baker about this all of us have been clear. we must keep our country and citizens safe, but not by allowing the erosion of our civil liberties and increasing unchecked intrusion into our lives. we need legislation to allow communications data to be available, but not to store more than is already allowed. and in this world, we need to move towards keeping less, and finding better and more proportionate ways to do so. we need to completely rewrite the law in this area. but that cannot be done quickly. we have to get it right, which will take a lot of work from many experts. already started that off our ‘digital bill of rights’ motion calls for a commission of experts to review all state surveillance and information from the snowden revelations that takes time. nick has already started this work with the royal united services institute, and they need to finish that work. so i think it is right to agree to a stop-gap. a piece of legislation that can be passed quickly, but crucially will automatically expire at the end of 2016, giving time to write something better, and the certainty of knowing it will not just become entrenched. and in this stop-gap legislation, we should agree to no more than was previously allowed. and managed better than that also negotiated and won a package of liberties measures to go with it: the bill includes a termination clause that ensures the legislation falls at the end of 2016 and the next government is forced to look again at these powers. between now and 2016 we will hold a full review of the regulation of investigatory powers act, to make recommendations for how it could be reformed and updated. we will appoint a senior diplomat to lead discussion with the american government and the internet companies to establish a new international agreement for sharing data between legal jurisdictions. we will establish a privacy and civil liberties oversight board on the american model, to ensure that civil liberties are properly considered in the formulation of government policy on counter-terrorism. this will be based on david existing role as the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation. further reform of the intelligence and security committee, so that in future the chair must be drawn from the opposition parties. we will restrict the number of public bodies that are able to approach phone and internet companies and ask for communications data. some bodies will lose their powers to access data altogether while local authorities will be required to go through a single central authority who will make the request on their behalf. finally, we will publish annual transparency reports, making more information publicly available than ever before on the way that surveillance powers operate. i claim that this is a perfect long-term solution. but i think anyone could write down, right now, what would be perfect. and a huge lot better than either the tories or labour would have done on their own. but because this legislation though not the extra safeguards will end in 2016, there will have to be a proper full discussion in the rest of this parliament and the next on this the status quo cannot be continued forever. we’ve done much to be proud of to support civil liberties. scrapped id cards, ended detention without charge, curtailed stop and search powers, ended routine child detention for immigration purposes, reformed the libel laws to protect free speech, and much more. if it was just down to us, have made even more progress but this simply would not have happened without us in government. best wishes, julian photo by

get the biggest liverpool stories by email subscribe thank you for subscribing we have more newsletters show me see our privacy notice could not subscribe, try again later invalid email jurgen klopp says liverpool have a “newer” in the form of james milner. the former england international was restored to his favourite position for saturday's friendly win over athletic bilbao in dublin having spent most of last season at left-back. klopp indicated that alberto moreno, who the reds have been trying to sell for this summer, will now stay at to compete with new boy andy robertson for the spot. asked about the prospect of more new signings after being frustrated in their recent attempts to sign keita, klopp said: “until august 31 we'll run through the world with open eyes that's clear. “it's not that we decide on our own, it's also about other clubs. “this pre-season has brought us new players. alberto moreno is 100% back which is really nice after a difficult year. “andy robertson has shown all the skills he's got. he's still adapting to our kind of football but you can see what a threat he can be offensively. “that means that millie is free to play in. without going into the transfer market we have a new player, which is nice.

(image: brian wire) “in the second half with a very young side we struggled a bit at the beginning but then we started playing and it was nice to see.” liverpool were depleted for the trip to ireland but klopp hopes to have philippe coutinho, jordan henderson and daniel back available for next saturday's premier league opener at watford. “everyone knows about the injury of adam which is a big blow,” klopp said. “this team has had to deal with plenty of difficult situations and we will deal with this too. “phil had a back problem yesterday so there was no reason to take any risk. has been a bit ill and daniel has a little muscle problem. “we will manage it and we will rotate. from tomorrow onwards, i will be preparing for the watford game and then the next game.”	gɪt ðə ˈbɪgəst ˈlɪvərˌpul ˈstɔriz baɪ iˈmeɪl səbˈskraɪb θæŋk ju fər səbˈskraɪbɪŋ wi hæv mɔr ˈnuzˌlɛtərz ʃoʊ mi si ɑr ˈpraɪvəsi ˈnoʊtɪs kʊd nɑt səbˈskraɪb, traɪ əˈgɛn ˈleɪtər ˌɪnˈvæləd iˈmeɪl ˈʤərgən klɑp sɪz ˈlɪvərˌpul hæv ə midfielder”” ɪn ðə fɔrm əv ʤeɪmz ˈmɪlnər. ðə ˈfɔrmər ˈɪŋglənd ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl wɑz rɪˈstɔrd tɪ hɪz ˈfeɪvərɪt pəˈzɪʃən fər ˈsætərdiz ˈfrɛndli wɪn ˈoʊvər æθˈlɛtɪk bɪlˈbaʊ ɪn ˈdəblɪn ˈhævɪŋ spɛnt moʊst əv læst ˈsizən æt left-back. klɑp ˈɪndəˌkeɪtɪd ðət ælˈbərtoʊ mɔˈrinoʊ, hu ðə rɛdz hæv bɪn traɪɪŋ tɪ sɛl fər ðɪs ˈsəmər, wɪl naʊ steɪ æt tɪ kəmˈpit wɪθ nu bɔɪ ˈændi ˈrɑbərtsən fər ðə spɑt. æst əˈbaʊt ðə ˈprɑspɛkt əv mɔr nu ˈsaɪnɪŋz ˈæftər biɪŋ ˈfrəˌstreɪtəd ɪn ðɛr ˈrisənt əˈtɛmpts tɪ saɪn keita, klɑp sɛd: ˈɔgəst 31 wɪl rən θru ðə wərld wɪθ ˈoʊpən aɪz ðæts klɪr. nɑt ðət wi ˌdɪˈsaɪd ɔn ɑr oʊn, ɪts ˈɔlsoʊ əˈbaʊt ˈəðər kləbz. ˌpriˈsizən həz brɔt ˈjuˈɛs nu pleɪərz. ælˈbərtoʊ mɔˈrinoʊ ɪz 100 bæk wɪʧ ɪz ˈrɪli nis ˈæftər ə ˈdɪfəkəlt jɪr. ˈrɑbərtsən həz ʃoʊn ɔl ðə skɪlz hiz gɑt. hiz stɪl əˈdæptɪŋ tɪ ɑr kaɪnd əv ˈfʊtˌbɔl bət ju kən si wət ə θrɛt hi kən bi əˈfɛnsɪvli. minz ðət ˈmɪli ɪz fri tɪ pleɪ ɪn. wɪˈθaʊt goʊɪŋ ˈɪntu ðə ˈtrænsfər ˈmɑrkɪt wi hæv ə nu pleɪər, wɪʧ ɪz nis.

the stone is a forum for contemporary philosophers and other thinkers on issues both timely and timeless. there are many ways to destroy a person, but the simplest and most devastating might be solitary confinement. deprived of meaningful human contact, otherwise healthy prisoners often come unhinged. they experience intense anxiety, paranoia, depression, memory loss, hallucinations and other perceptual distortions. psychiatrists call this cluster of symptoms shu syndrome, named after the security housing units of many prisons. prisoners have more direct ways of naming their experience. they call it “living death,” the “gray box,” or “living in a black hole.” in june the judiciary subcommittee on the constitution, civil rights, and human rights, headed by senator richard j. durbin, democrat of illinois, held the first congressional hearing on solitary confinement. advocates and experts in the field were invited to submit testimony on the psychological, ethical, social and economic issues raised by punitive isolation. among the many contributors was anthony graves, who spent over 18 years on death row in texas, most of them in solitary confinement, for a crime he did not commit. graves describes his isolation as a form of “emotional torture.” two years after his exoneration and release, he still feels trapped in isolation: “i am living amongst millions of people in the world today, but most of the time i feel alone. i cry at night because of this feeling. i just want to stop feeling this way, but i been able to.” we tend to assume that solitary confinement is reserved for “the worst of the worst”: violent inmates who have proved themselves unwilling or unable to live in the general population. but the truth is that an inmate can be sent to the hole for failing to return a meal tray, or for possession of contraband (which can include anything from weapons to spicy tortilla chips). according to the bureau of justice, there were prisoners in some form of “restricted housing” (code for solitary confinement) in 2005. if anything, these numbers have increased as isolation units continue to be built in prisons, jails and juvenile detention centers across the country. given that 95 percent of all inmates are eventually released into the public, and that many of these will be released without any form of transition or therapy, solitary confinement is a problem that potentially affects every one of us. leif parsons in my own statement for the senate subcommittee, i made a philosophical argument against solitary confinement, drawing on my research in phenomenology. phenomenology is a philosophical method for uncovering the structure of lived experience by describing what it is like from a first person perspective. rather than attempting to prove a set of objective facts, phenomenology tracks the way that a meaningful experience of the world emerges for someone in the total situation of their being-in-the-world. not that facts are unimportant, but rather that they are not meaningful in themselves; they become meaningful when they are experienced by someone in relation to a wider context or horizon. what happens when that horizon shrinks to the space of a cell? consider the following testimony from prisoners interviewed by the psychiatrist stuart in block 10 of walpole penitentiary in 1982: i went to a standstill psychologically once lapse of memory. i talk for 15 days. i hear clearly. you see blind block everything out disoriented, awareness is very bad. did someone say coming out of it? i think what saying is true not sure. i think i was drooling a complete standstill. i seem to see movements real fast motions in front of me. then seems like doing things behind your back quite see them. did someone just hit me? i dwell on it for hours. melting, everything in the cell starts moving; everything gets darker, you feel you are losing your vision. i concentrate, read . . . your . . . sometimes grasp words in my mind that i know. get stuck, have to think of another word. memory is going. you feel you are losing something you might not get back. deprived of everyday encounters with other people, and cut off from an open-ended experience of the world as a place of difference and change, many inmates lose touch with reality. what is the prisoner in solitary confinement at risk of losing, to the point of not getting it back? related more from the stone read previous contributions to this series. the prisoner in a control unit may have adequate food and drink, and the conditions of his confinement may meet or exceed thresholds for humane treatment. but there is something about the exclusion of other living beings from the space that they inhabit, and the absence of even the possibility of touching or being touched by another, that threatens to undermine the identity of the subject. the problem with solitary confinement is not just that it deprives the inmate of her freedom. this harm is already inflicted by our prison system, and depending on how you feel about justice and punishment, depriving people of freedom may be justifiable. but prolonged isolation inflicts another kind of harm, one that can never be justified. this harm is ontological; it violates the very structure of our relational being. think about it: every time i hear a sound and see another person look toward the origin of that sound, i receive an implicit confirmation that what i heard was something real, that it was not just my imagination playing tricks on me. every time someone walks around the table rather than through it, i receive an unspoken, usually unremarkable, confirmation that the table exists, and that my own way of relating to tables is shared by others. when i receive these implicit confirmations, i can usually ask someone but for the most part, we need to ask because our experience is already interwoven with the experience of many other living, thinking, perceiving beings who relate to the same world from their own unique perspective. this multiplicity of perspectives is like an invisible net that supports the coherence of my own experience, even (or especially) when others challenge my interpretation of “the facts.” these facts are up for discussion in the first place because we inhabit a shared world with others who agree, at the very least, that there is something to disagree about. when we isolate a prisoner in solitary confinement, we deprive them of both the support of others, which is crucial for a coherent experience of the world, and also the critical challenge that others pose to our own interpretation of the world. both of these are essential for a meaningful experience of things, but they are especially important for those who have broken the law, and so violated the trust of others in the community. if we truly want our prisons to rehabilitate and transform criminal offenders, then we must put them in a situation where they have a chance and an obligation to explain themselves to others, to repair damaged networks of mutual support, and to lend their own unique perspective to creating meaning in the world. we ask too little of prisoners when we isolate them in units where they are neither allowed nor obliged to create and sustain meaningful, supportive relations with others. for the sake of justice, not only for them but for ourselves, we must put an end to the of solitary confinement in this country, and we must begin the difficult but mutually rewarding work of bringing the tens of thousands of currently isolated prisoners back into the world. lisa guenther is an associate professor of philosophy at vanderbilt university and the author of the forthcoming book “social death and its afterlives: a critical phenomenology of solitary confinement.”	ðə stoʊn ɪz ə ˈfɔrəm fər kənˈtɛmpərˌɛri fəˈlɑsəfərz ənd ˈəðər ˈθɪŋkərz ɔn ˈɪʃuz boʊθ ˈtaɪmli ənd ˈtaɪmləs. ðɛr ər ˈmɛni weɪz tɪ dɪˈstrɔɪ ə ˈpərsən, bət

trump and peas in a pod hi folks, remember that article i wrote a couple weeks ago about donald trump, and the weird, illicit and possibly illegal modeling agency he owns? remember his bizarre with avowed child predator john casablancas? it’s been getting some michael gross, who probably knows more about the modeling and fashion industries than any other living human being, has come out with a new article that you really need to read inside donald parties: attendees recall cocaine and very young models the morals of donald j. trump, as a longtime model lover and then a modeling agency owner, were forged in another era, one in which young girls were used as a sort of currency between men doing business with one another. not a time that trump, who once blew up gossip reporters’ phones to dish on his own sexual exploits, real and imagined, is eager to remember now. but after i wrote for the daily beast earlier this year about the parties he hosted in the where “his wealthy friends, from his atlantic city casinos, and potential trump condominium buyers could meet models” from agencies, several men who attended those parties at the plaza hotel emerged to share scandalous specifics about presence and behavior at events where illegal drugs and young women were passed around and used. huh, imagine that! one of the two men i spoke with, a fashion photographer, requested anonymity because he has fathered several children since his trump days and want his past dredged up. “there’s no upside for me,” he says. the other man… well, read his words. both confirmed that trump, as reported, used to host parties in suites at the plaza hotel when he owned it, where young women and girls were introduced to older, richer men. this is hardly aberrant behavior in the modeling business. indeed, it is standard operating procedure. the attraction for the men “was young girls assuming get somewhere” by joining the party, the photographer says, “of course, it never happens.” [...] the girls were as young as 15, he says, and “over their heads, they had no idea, and they ended up in situations. there were always dramas because the men threw money and drugs at them to keep them enticed. based on power and dominating girls who push back and can be discarded. always someone to pick them back up. nobody wants to call home and say ‘help me.’” trump would “go from room to room,” said the photographer, who added that “i was there to party myself. it was guys with younger girls, sex, a lot of sex, a lot of cocaine, liquor” but no smoking. trump approve of cigarettes. well then, thank you daddy trump for making sure your party favors ruin their developing little lungs with cigarette smoke after getting fucked by the grown men you passed them around to. granted your running mate happens to disagree with you on this particular as he was a loud and proud cigarette as recently as okay. you two apparently talk a whole lot, and disagree on many things including foreign policy as it relates to russia, and the topic of grabbing women by the at least talking about that kind of thing in public, while up with billy bush. but i digress. i know pushing fair use here, but i hope michael will forgive last snippet [did] he have sex with his female party guests? “so, a man with a woman,” lucchesi [a male model interviewed for the story] says vaguely. how old were they? “a lot of girls, 14, look 24. as juicy as i can get. i never asked how old they were; i just partook. i did partake in activities that would be controversial, too.” just, y’know, for the does not matter how old a child looks. in fact, this was me when i was 14: my nickname was “princess jailbait”. i was a 36 by the time i was in grade. my physical development occurred early, which was devastating because was a tomboy who loved sports and climbing trees. circus boobs really allow for those activities. i was getting into bars by the time i was 16, with a ridiculous fake id that stated i was 24. bouncers would sometimes raise an eyebrow, since the picture remotely resemble me, but they typically let me in with a wink and a nod. after all, i was a hot little thing, with circus boobs, all made up like a tart. i look like a child so why treat me like one? but i was, at the end of the day, still very much a child. in fact, i was in many ways more of a child than most of my peers, because my development was arrested around age 10 due to sexual abuse. which ironically may have actually been the cause of my precocious development in the first place. and here is the background is not unusual. i wish it child sexual abuse is common. also a known and studied factor lurking in the background of girls who end up their own bodies. from modeling and beauty pageants to porn and prostitution, a history of child sexual abuse is the common denominator keep this in mind when you read about men like donald trump. because no matter how much you may be primed to see these girls as older, perhaps even deserving of abuse, they aren’t. please remember it is men like him that create the conditions that perpetuate their victimization. think about the kind of man who sexually his own daughter, who talks openly about being attracted to a family friend, who sees a little girl and jokes about dating (and thus fucking) her, however many years in the future. think about the kind of man who muses about the erotic import of emotionally damaged teenage girls in a manner that indicates he knows from experience. think about the kind of man who, when asked about his own infant daughter, talks about her legs and speculates on her future breast development. just pause here, for a moment, because this is just so galling. babies do not have ”legs” in the way that grown women do. they have rolls of dimpled fat and chubby little feet. there is nothing beautiful or “sexy” about the legs of a baby. and there is nothing remotely normal about comparing the legs of a baby to the legs of a woman you have sex with. that is pathological behavior. does it surprise you, then, that a man who says these things has sex children? and make no is exactly what michael gross is describing. have no illusions about is the literal definition of the term. and please give the presumption of innocence where it is undeserved. no matter what these men say to excuse their behavior, the actual age of the girls they were passing around and fucking was not unknown. not fool ourselves into thinking that a girl can genuinely be mistaken for a matter how much makeup is on her face, or how precocious her development may be. anyone who has raised daughters, interacted with teenagers, or has been around human beings in general knows the goddamn difference. example: these are children. probably around age 14. you are not allowed to have sex with them. in the aftermath of posting my article about trump model management, i have had a flood of responses from people, including michael gross, who have knowledge of the crimes that donald trump, unregistered sex offender, has committed. it is in large part because of this influx of new information that the follow up installments have been delayed. i know people are anxious for the information to come out, and i promise you it will. soon. but for the time being, please know one thing: i take no joy from the fact that my initial instincts when i read the mother jones article were correct. i also take no solace in confirming that my initial impression of i first encountered at age 16 during one of his howard stern accurate. i knew instinctively that he was an abuser, and everything learned about him since has reinforced that belief. the fact that other women, in particular those with a history of abuse, had similar thoughts is affirming, and it is a relief that we can finally say it out loud. the resulting dialogue has been healing in many the one silver lining to come out of this toxic election, and this toxic candidate. but make no october surprise in progress is not a joyful development. it is horrifying. it is devastating, because there are actual victims involved, and they are actual human beings. it should be a gut check to our nation that a man like donald trump could rise to a level of such prominence. this is something that should have never happened. the fact that it did speaks volumes about how we value women and girls in our society. in light of this i have a request: please read michael article in the daily beast, and pass it along to everyone you know. let it get lost in the ether. this story is important, because our girls are important. it’s high time we prove to them that they are.	trəmp ənd piz ɪn ə pɑd haɪ foʊks, rɪˈmɛmbər ðət ˈɑrtɪkəl aɪ roʊt ə ˈkəpəl wiks əˈgoʊ əˈbaʊt ˈdɑnəld trəmp, ənd ðə wɪrd, ˌɪˈlɪsət ənd ˈpɑsəbli ˌɪˈligəl ˈmɑdəlɪŋ ˈeɪʤənsi hi oʊnz?

systems designed to provide breathing air and pressurization for pilots of the goshawk and hornet are the prime suspects in a rash of oxygen deprivation incidents, the navy said thursday. pilots are at risk of breathing contaminated air from the oxygen generation system used on the aircraft, while aging parts and inadequate testing of the fleet have caused failures in the cockpit environmental control system, according to a safety review by top navy officials released thursday. still, positively identifying the root cause and finding a solution to widespread reports of oxygen deprivation among pilots has proved elusive, the review found. "we have to start with the sources of where we get the air, so either the oxygen system or through the cabin air system, which is filtered off the bleed air coming off of the engines," said adm. bill moran, vice chief of naval operations. "when i say we have not found the cause it may be more than one component or it may be more than one condition that clearly leads to a physiological event." moran said the navy is working closely with boeing, the prime contractor for both aircraft. both aircraft have seen spikes in reported incidents of oxygen deprivation that can cause sickness, and panic in pilots. the trainer jets were grounded in april at bases in mississippi, florida and texas following a boycott by pilots including vice president mike son. congress has been concerned about oxygen systems and directed a review in december. the air force is now experiencing its own reports of oxygen deprivation and grounded a squadron of its fighters at luke air force base in arizona last week. "the integration of the oxygen generation system in the and is inadequate to consistently provide high quality breathing air," the navy concluded in its review. "to varying degrees, neither aircraft is equipped to continuously provide clean, dry air to [the oxygen generation system] a design specification for the device." the problem allows contaminants to pollute the breathing air, which can cause oxygen deprivation. meanwhile, the system responsible for pressurizing the aircraft cockpits is a "complex aggregate of sub-components, all of which must function for the system to work as a whole," the navy found. "aging parts, inadequate testing methodologies and numerous other factors are impacting fleet [environmental control system] reliability, inducing several instances of decompression sickness," according to the service. pilots in the reported 21 incidents so far this year 10 in march alone after a spike of 38 physiological episodes in 2016, the navy review also found. reports more than doubled from 12 to 27 in the two preceding years. moran said the navy has designed a new oxygen mask for the that is now in use and is installing water mechanisms that are already used on other jets in hopes it could solve the problems. that could be completed by early fall. no student pilots are currently flying the, which means 25 have been delayed each month since late march, the navy said this week. meanwhile, pilots of the hornet, along with the the service lumped the data together experienced 52 incidents so far this year after a major spike of 125 last year. it has been a dramatic rise since 2009, when there were just 16. but the navy review also cast doubt on those statistics, saying past instances might have been under-reported. the increase of incidents beginning in 2010 was "likely more reflective of a change in aircrew awareness and reporting mechanisms than a sudden rise" in oxygen deprivation incidents, it said.	ˈsɪstəmz dɪˈzaɪnd tɪ prəˈvaɪd ˈbriðɪŋ ɛr ənd ˌprɛʃərɪˈzeɪʃən fər ˈpaɪləts əv ðə ˈgɑsˌhɔk ənd ˈhɔrnɪt ər ðə praɪm ˈsəˌspɛkts ɪn ə ræʃ əv ˈɑksɪʤən ˌdɛprəˈveɪʃən ˈɪnsədənts, ðə ˈneɪvi sɛd ˈθərzˌdeɪ. ˈpaɪləts ər æt rɪsk əv ˈbriðɪŋ kənˈtæməˌneɪtɪd ɛr frəm ðə ˈɑksɪʤən ˌʤɛnərˈeɪʃən ˈsɪstəm juzd ɔn ðə ˈɛrˌkræft, waɪl ˈeɪʤɪŋ pɑrts ənd ˌɪˈnædəkˌweɪt ˈtɛstɪŋ əv ðə flit hæv kɔzd ˈfeɪljərz ɪn ðə ˈkɑkˌpɪt ɪnˌvaɪrənˈmɛnəl kənˈtroʊl ˈsɪstəm, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ə ˈseɪfti ˌrivˈju baɪ tɔp ˈneɪvi əˈfɪʃəlz riˈlist ˈθərzˌdeɪ. stɪl, ˈpɑzətɪvli aɪˈdɛntəˌfaɪɪŋ ðə rut kɔz ənd ˈfaɪndɪŋ ə səˈluʃən tɪ ˈwaɪdˈsprɛd rɪˈpɔrts əv ˈɑksɪʤən ˌdɛprəˈveɪʃən əˈməŋ ˈpaɪləts həz pruvd ɪˈlusɪv, ðə ˌrivˈju faʊnd.

mission toronto bee rescue has been serving toronto and the greater toronto area since 2011, collecting swarms and removing honeybee colonies. we are now looking to expand our local bee yards by purchasing additional honeybee colonies and equipment. our goal is to purchase 10 honeybee colonies. timeline november/december 2014: place order 10 honeybee colonies for pickup in may 2015. placing our order early ensures that we will be at the top of the to receive honeybees in spring 2015. february 2015: begin assembly of hive boxes and frames. paint hive boxes. march 2015: as soon as the snow clears, prepare new hive locations. this is done by ensuring hives will be on level ground. we will be moving skids to these locations to place the hives on and will use cinder pieces of wood to level out the skids. april 2015: place assembled hive boxes and frames at the new locations. may 2015: move our purchased honeybees into their new homes. locations toronto bee rescue has one bee yard in the city of toronto that we can expand and are working on securing several other sites in the greater toronto area for use in 2015. why with the current high die off of honeybees in north america due to disease and (a type of pesticide), individuals are becoming more aware of the importance of honeybees as pollinators. honeybees are responsible for of our crops and without their help, we would have much less to choose from when shopping for our food. by expanding our urban bee yards, local honey (free from agricultural chemicals) will be made from various plants found in gardens and ravines throughout the city. we also hope to spread awareness surrounding the decline of local honeybee populations and what individuals can do to help. how we will create the bee yards in the city of toronto by ordering all materials, assembling the hive boxes/frames, and introducing the honeybees to their new homes. costs 10 colonies (nucs) of honeybees: $1,600 10 hives (woodware): $1,300 100 frames: $1,000.00 200 seed packages (seeds + packaging) $400 wrapping up the expanding honey production project is scheduled to end on october 31, 2014. this is around the time when we will be or wrapping up our existing hives for the winter ahead. honeybees can survive canadian winters and it is our hope that ours will. we will be keeping an eye on them to ensure that they do. surpassing our goal when our initial goal is surpassed, we will use all the additional funds to purchase additional honeybee hives. these will be placed in locations within toronto, woodbridge or kleinburg.	ˈmɪʃən tərˈɑntoʊ

a high school senior owns a piece of texas football history. she's the first girl to score points in a university interscholastic league (uil) state title nava from the small town of strawn, west of dallas, is a kicker for the high school's six man played in the division title game in dallas wednesday on the home field of the dallas cowboys, nava kicked nine extra points in 78 to 42 games typically are than traditional games. extra points are worth two points and field goals are worth wednesday, nava racked up 18 points, thanks to her nine pats. one of her kicks was blocked, but that did little to sour a day for the former soccer player. she also is believed to be the first female ever to play in a texas state title is a former soccer player who wants to be a marine coach says she's just like any other member of the team with a job to do.	ə haɪ skul ˈsinjər oʊnz ə pis əv ˈtɛksəs ˈfʊtˌbɔl ˈhɪstəri. ʃiz ðə fərst gərl tɪ skɔr pɔɪnts ɪn ə ˌjunəˈvərsəti ˌɪntərskəˈlæstɪk lig (uil*) steɪt ˈtaɪtəl ˈnɑvə frəm ðə smɔl taʊn əv strɔn, wɛst əv ˈdæləs, ɪz ə ˈkɪkər fər ðə haɪ skulz sɪks mæn pleɪd ɪn ðə dɪˈvɪʒən ˈtaɪtəl geɪm ɪn ˈdæləs ˈwɛnzˌdeɪ ɔn ðə hoʊm fild əv ðə ˈdæləs ˈkaʊˌbɔɪz, ˈnɑvə kɪkt naɪn ˈɛkstrə pɔɪnts ɪn 78 tɪ 42 geɪmz ˈtɪpɪkəli ər ðən trəˈdɪʃənəl geɪmz. ˈɛkstrə pɔɪnts ər wərθ tu pɔɪnts ənd fild goʊlz ər wərθ ˈwɛnzˌdeɪ, ˈnɑvə rækt əp 18 pɔɪnts, θæŋks tɪ hər naɪn pæts. wən əv hər kɪks wɑz blɑkt, bət ðət dɪd ˈlɪtəl tɪ saʊər ə deɪ fər ðə ˈfɔrmər ˈsɑkər pleɪər. ʃi ˈɔlsoʊ ɪz bɪˈlivd tɪ bi ðə fərst ˈfiˌmeɪl ˈɛvər tɪ pleɪ ɪn ə ˈtɛksəs steɪt ˈtaɪtəl ɪz ə ˈfɔrmər ˈsɑkər pleɪər hu wɔnts tɪ bi ə mərˈin koʊʧ sɪz ʃiz ʤɪst laɪk ˈɛni ˈəðər ˈmɛmbər əv ðə tim wɪθ ə ʤɑb tɪ du.
true autonomous vehicles are coming in the next years. luxury automakers from bmw to lincoln have been pioneering advanced driver aides and interventions for nearly a decade. tesla turned on their controversial autopilot beta program last year and mercedes has promised us a fully autonomous vehicle by 2021. eleven states (alabama, california, florida, louisiana, michigan, nevada, north dakota, pennsylvania, tennessee, utah and virginia) and the district of columbia currently have legislation around the testing and use of autonomous vehicles. now clearly a matter of when, not if, cars become the future. as someone who loves to drive there are parts of this truth that bum me out and the idea of conditioning an entire generation of drivers to actually be less attentive on the roads is particularly troubling, much of this is cultural adoption challenges and will be overcome with time. for the rest of it well there are still people who believe that vinyl is king so sure a niche population will still be manually driving well into the future. but as a technologist interested in the data around us constantly reminded that autonomous cars mean more to society than fewer automobile crashes, improved quality of life for people with disabilities, and less congested roadways. each autonomous car on the road brings with it a broad assortment of sensors including two of my favorites and radar. and radar are indispensable in mapping spaces while creating virtual worlds. with estimating nearly autonomous vehicles on the market by 2035 a lot of new data being created from nearly continuous scans of the routes of those vehicles. take just a moment to imagine the possibilities. think about every municipality gaining access to a real-time virtual scan of their infrastructure. no more waiting for multiple reports of potholes, downed trees or to come into the local department of public works before a repair crew is dispatched. a car driving by an impacted site can automatically alert the that can then send out the necessary repair crew all while doing its task of taking you to work/home. rapid repairs to infrastructure are a key to increasing infrastructure longevity. the benefit to mapping and navigational tools for those cars is also great. the increase in accuracy of applications like when users no longer have to rely on others taking the time to manually tag an accident or road debris, or hidden police officer. if the cars could do it automatically all get much more actionable data, both autonomous cars and cars. by combining scans with data it will be possible to get a view of the population changes in a number of environments. this data can then be used to ensure that adequate services are being provided to the community and help municipalities more accurately measure density looking at you mta). in addition, when coupled with machine vision technology the and gps data from autonomous vehicles can be used to monitor the opening and closing of stores and restaurants. imagine knowing when you get in your car that the store you were planning on visiting had closed early, but that another comparable store 5 minutes away was still open. drivers will have the ability to transform errands from “i have to go to x” to “i need to pick up y” where you can go to the store that has what you need based a number of variables including if the store is still open. of course with any technology in public spaces there are some very serious privacy concerns. married to machine vision and gps could potentially be used to effectively track individuals and groups. it could be used in this manner for good (think following terrorists and other bad actors) or bad (talk about giving conspiracy theorists something to work with). remember when germany decided to blur out all of their citizens in google maps? well i think the reaction to this data would make that experience look quaint in comparison. i also believe there would be a similar reaction in pockets of the us as well, something that really happen with google street maps. however, much like in the 2010 google maps case in germany only the publicly available result of the data would be obfuscated. the actual data the mapping companies would be selling likely be effected in the same manner. and this is a very important distinction to be made. each car company is most likely going to have its own data set that it will be selling, possibly in conjunction with a technology partner. but in an industry that is slow to develop and extremely reluctant to adopt technology standards hard to imagine the auto manufacturers ceding control. just think about the fact that apple and android auto were in the wild for over 2 years before they were implemented by automakers, and still far from being a standard. i think fair to say that automakers are not going this let this go to their partners. also the fact that the auto industry generally follows a three year cycle for innovation and little to no way that ever going to be able to adopt the tech month cycle. so what likely to end up with is different manufacturers with slightly different data sets that are all to sell that data to the highest bidder. the personal security implications are obvious if database of your every movement for sale personal anonymity goes straight out the window. not even mentioning the potential impact on civil liberties. unfortunately the only thing slower to react to technology than the auto industry is the government, which means that most of this will likely be hashed out in the courts. but forget this is merely one possible scenario. always all of the good that can come from having all of that sensor data out there even if most of it publicly available.	tru

that moment when you inadvertently bump into the professional athlete dressed as for halloween is better than any massive haul of candy. exactly what happened to paul vernick on monday. vernick, a high school senior in north jersey, lives in the same town as sacha, the new york red bulls star and united states national team member who is a for the award in. the teenager, a devoted soccer and red bulls fan who is a member of a supporters club, is even an intern with local team jersey express and is hoping for a career in sports. as such, he dressed like for halloween, even down to the’s moustache, which fittingly has earned him the nickname ‘the stache’ in circles. but little did he know that while dressed as for halloween, he would in fact meet the man, the myth, the legend. recommended 4 pictures photos: singapore's treasures star in botanical garden's 2019 orchid show 4 pictures 36 pictures oscars 2019: red carpet looks and full list of winners 36 pictures 36 pictures all of these celebrities have had their nudes leaked 36 pictures more picture galleries 16 pictures these photos of trump and will make you deeply uncomfortable 16 pictures 4 pictures inside brooklyn's is tech that makes us more human 4 pictures 4 pictures inside the fight against being named a new york city landmark 4 pictures while out trick or treating, spotted vernick and friend gold, a classmate who is also a red bulls fan, and shouted out to them about their costumes. vernick calls it “five short minutes of awesomeness.” “as we got right in front of him he bent down to ask his daughter a question. ‘who do these people look like?’ his daughter responded ‘daddy!’ - that made everyone laugh, and his wife asked if we wanted a picture,” vernick tells metro. “she took a picture on her phone and one of the neighbors took a picture on my phone for me.” he admits to not doing much but that his younger sister rebecca was willing to share some of her spoils with him. clearly for vernick, his halloween meeting with while dressed as was all treat and no trick. related articles dyer: new york desperately needs american pharaoh victory dyer: is triple crown bad for horse racing dyer: your complete guide to attending jets training camp “throughout the past two seasons, my family and i have a mere moments of celebrity when seeing him walk around downtown or see you anywhere in town... sometimes i see him in his car when i am walking to and from school,” vernick said. “all of this made me into an even bigger sacha fan and that's why i dressed up as him. although my fake mustache wasn't anywhere as nice as his.”	ðət ˈmoʊmənt wɪn ju ˌɪnədˈvərtəntli bəmp ˈɪntu ðə prəˈfɛʃənəl ˈæθˌlit drɛst ɛz fər ˌhæləˈwin ɪz ˈbɛtər ðən ˈɛni ˈmæsɪv hɔl əv ˈkændi. ɪgˈzæktli wət ˈhæpənd tɪ pɔl ˈvərnɪk ɔn ˈmənˌdeɪ. ˈvərnɪk, ə haɪ skul ˈsinjər ɪn nɔrθ ˈʤərzi, lɪvz ɪn ðə seɪm taʊn ɛz ˈsæʧə, ðə nu jɔrk rɛd bʊlz stɑr ənd juˈnaɪtɪd steɪts ˈnæʃənəl tim ˈmɛmbər hu ɪz ə fər ðə əˈwɔrd ɪn. ðə ˈtiˌneɪʤər, ə dɪˈvoʊtɪd ˈsɑkər ənd rɛd bʊlz fæn hu ɪz ə ˈmɛmbər əv ə səˈpɔrtərz kləb, ɪz ˈivɪn ən ˈɪntərn wɪθ ˈloʊkəl tim ˈʤərzi ɪkˈsprɛs ənd ɪz ˈhoʊpɪŋ fər ə kərɪr ɪn spɔrts. ɛz səʧ, hi drɛst laɪk fər ˌhæləˈwin, ˈivɪn daʊn tɪ ðə ˈməˌstæʃ, wɪʧ ˈfɪtɪŋli həz ərnd ɪm ðə ˈnɪkˌneɪm stache’’ ɪn ˈsərkəlz. bət ˈlɪtəl dɪd hi noʊ ðət waɪl drɛst ɛz fər ˌhæləˈwin, hi wʊd ɪn fækt mit ðə mæn, ðə mɪθ, ðə ˈlɛʤənd. ˌrɛkəˈmɛndɪd 4 ˈpɪkʧərz ˈfoʊˌtoʊz: ˈsɪŋəpɔrz ˈtrɛʒərz stɑr ɪn bəˈtænɪkəl ˈgɑrdənz 2019 ˈɔrkəd ʃoʊ 4 ˈpɪkʧərz 36 ˈpɪkʧərz ˈɔskərz 2019 rɛd ˈkɑrpət lʊks ənd fʊl lɪst əv ˈwɪnərz 36 ˈpɪkʧərz 36 ˈpɪkʧərz ɔl əv ðiz səˈlɛbrɪtiz hæv hæd ðɛr nudz likt 36 ˈpɪkʧərz mɔr ˈpɪkʧər ˈgæləriz 16 ˈpɪkʧərz ðiz ˈfoʊˌtoʊz əv trəmp ənd wɪl meɪk ju ˈdipli ənˈkəmfərtəbəl 16 ˈpɪkʧərz 4 ˈpɪkʧərz ˌɪnˈsaɪd ˈbrʊklɪnz ɪz tɛk ðət meɪks ˈjuˈɛs mɔr ˈjumən 4 ˈpɪkʧərz 4 ˈpɪkʧərz ˌɪnˈsaɪd ðə faɪt əˈgɛnst biɪŋ neɪmd ə nu jɔrk ˈsɪti ˈlændˌmɑrk 4 ˈpɪkʧərz waɪl aʊt trɪk ər ˈtritɪŋ, ˈspɑtɪd ˈvərnɪk ənd frɛnd goʊld, ə ˈklæsˌmeɪt hu ɪz ˈɔlsoʊ ə rɛd bʊlz fæn, ənd ˈʃaʊtɪd aʊt tɪ ðɛm əˈbaʊt ðɛr ˈkɑstumz. ˈvərnɪk kɔlz ɪt ʃɔrt ˈmɪnəts əv awesomeness.”.” wi gɑt raɪt ɪn frənt əv ɪm hi bɛnt daʊn tɪ æsk hɪz ˈdɔtər ə kˈwɛʃən. du ðiz ˈpipəl lʊk like?’?’ hɪz ˈdɔtər rɪˈspɑndɪd ‘‘daddy!’!’ ðət meɪd ˈɛvriˌwən læf, ənd hɪz waɪf æst ɪf wi ˈwɔntɪd ə picture,”,” ˈvərnɪk tɛlz ˈmɛˌtroʊ. tʊk ə ˈpɪkʧər ɔn hər foʊn ənd wən əv ðə ˈneɪbərz tʊk ə ˈpɪkʧər ɔn maɪ foʊn fər me.”.” hi ədˈmɪts tɪ nɑt duɪŋ məʧ bət ðət hɪz ˈjəŋgər ˈsɪstər rəˈbɛkə wɑz ˈwɪlɪŋ tɪ ʃɛr səm əv hər spɔɪlz wɪθ ɪm. ˈklɪrli fər ˈvərnɪk, hɪz ˌhæləˈwin ˈmitɪŋ wɪθ waɪl drɛst ɛz wɑz ɔl trit ənd noʊ trɪk. rɪˈleɪtɪd ˈɑrtɪkəlz daɪər: nu jɔrk ˈdɛspərətli nidz əˈmɛrɪkən ˈfɛroʊ ˈvɪktəri daɪər: ɪz ˈtrɪpəl kraʊn bæd fər hɔrs ˈreɪsɪŋ daɪər: jʊr kəmˈplit gaɪd tɪ əˈtɛndɪŋ ʤɛts ˈtreɪnɪŋ kæmp ðə pæst tu ˈsizənz, maɪ ˈfæməli ənd aɪ hæv ə mɪr ˈmoʊmənts əv səˈlɛbrɪti wɪn siɪŋ ɪm wɔk əraʊnd ˈdaʊnˈtaʊn ər si ju ˈɛniˌwɛr ɪn taʊn... ˈsəmˌtaɪmz aɪ si ɪm ɪn hɪz kɑr wɪn aɪ æm ˈwɔkɪŋ tɪ ənd frəm school,”,” ˈvərnɪk sɛd. əv ðɪs meɪd mi ˈɪntu ən ˈivɪn ˈbɪgər ˈsæʧə fæn ənd ðæts waɪ aɪ drɛst əp ɛz ɪm. ˌɔlˈðoʊ maɪ feɪk ˈməˌstæʃ ˈwəzənt ˈɛniˌwɛr ɛz nis ɛz his.”.”
melbourne doctor, rodney symes, attempting to provoke prosecution for euthanasia to spur test case updated a melbourne doctor who says he has been prescribing injectable medications to patients seeking to end their lives wants police to prosecute him so that he can argue the case for euthanasia in court. appearing on monday night's q&a, rodney symes admitted to giving two of his patients a barbiturate, or drug that is commonly used by veterinarians to animals to assist their suicide. he said he had hoped his actions would prompt a test case where he could put forward his arguments for australia's laws against euthanasia to be amended. "i have openly gone and stated to the police that i have given a man," he said. "i have described the circumstances in which that happened. "at the end of the day, the policeman said to me very kindly: 'i don't think there is enough evidence to prosecute.'" but dr symes said while police had conducted a inquest on one occasion, no prosecutions had yet been made against him. "i've had policeman come into my home after i have given medication to a woman," he said. "as they walked down the door to interview me, they said: 'don't get alarmed doctor, this is just for a inquest, not for a prosecution.'" actions simply 'very, very good' dr symes has been an advocate for dying for nearly 20 years, and the president of dying with dignity victoria for 10 years. he argues that providing a patient with offers them a more complete and effective form of than the painkillers often administered to patients in palliative care, such as morphine or midazolam. "i would argue what i am doing in providing somebody with medication, is providing them with very, very good," he said. "i argue that i can provide a person with medication which provides them with, relieves the psychological and existential suffering which they have when they are facing a dreadful death i believe that is a palliative act." he said amending australia's euthanasia laws would provide comfort to the few australians that are unable to control the way they die. "i think it is absolutely imperative that a person who wants to end their life engages with their family, gets them to understand why they need to consider making a decision like this," he said. "the vast majority of people die dignified, peaceful, comfortable deaths if you can use that word in the presence of their family having drawn their life to a close in the way most satisfactory for them. "we are talking about 98 per cent of predictable deaths in this country. "the debate we are having about individuals is to a very small percentage of the population." topics: death, community-and-society, suicide, australia first posted	ˈmɛlbərn ˈdɔktər, ˈrɑdni saɪmz, əˈtɛmptɪŋ tɪ prəˈvoʊk ˌprɑsəˈkjuʃən fər ˌjuθəˈneɪʒə tɪ spər tɛst keɪs ˈəpˌdeɪtɪd ə ˈmɛlbərn ˈdɔktər hu sɪz hi həz bɪn priˈskraɪbɪŋ ˌɪnˈʤɛktəbəl ˌmɛdəˈkeɪʃənz tɪ ˈpeɪʃənz ˈsikɪŋ tɪ ɛnd ðɛr lɪvz wɔnts pəˈlis tɪ ˈprɑsəˌkjut ɪm soʊ ðət hi kən ˈɑrgju ðə keɪs fər ˌjuθəˈneɪʒə ɪn kɔrt. əˈpɪrɪŋ ɔn ˈmənˌdeɪ naɪts q&a, ˈrɑdni saɪmz ədˈmɪtəd tɪ ˈgɪvɪŋ tu əv hɪz ˈpeɪʃənz ə bɑrˈbɪʧərət, ər drəg ðət ɪz ˈkɑmənli juzd baɪ ˌvɛtərəˈnɛriənz tɪ ˈænəməlz tɪ əˈsɪst ðɛr ˈsuɪˌsaɪd. hi sɛd hi hæd hoʊpt hɪz ˈækʃənz wʊd prɑmpt ə tɛst keɪs wɛr hi kʊd pʊt ˈfɔrwərd hɪz ˈɑrgjəmənts fər ɔˈstreɪljəz lɔz əˈgɛnst ˌjuθəˈneɪʒə tɪ bi əˈmɛndɪd.

ten things learned about the 991 prototype it’s worst kept secret of this year at least. the 991 is on its way, marking a return for the turbocharged moniker after a hiatus. the final production version of this hugely anticipated 911 is due for release soon but, in the meantime, one andreas invited total 911 along to germany to ride shotgun in a prototype. as you can imagine, final facts and figures of the new ‘widdowmaker’ are still to be fully ratified, but our passenger ride out of did at least reveal some key snippets of information ahead of launch. ten ‘facts’ we learned about the new 911: 1. the new will have at least you’ll recall the previous 997 had what is still a mighty (it actually remains the most powerful 911 of all time). however, the new 991 looks set to eclipse that, telling us the car will be good for at least. 2. the new will boast more than torque that monster torque figure is actually the work of latest turbo s, which to this point takes the title of being the 911 with the most twist (the 997 has 700nm). the 991 looks set to sail past that figure too, though herr remains for now as to what the final figure may be. 3. the’s engine size is that’s right, whereas the naturally aspirated and 991 r a bigger, version of flat six, the uses a heavily revised version of the flat six found in the current 991 turbo s. porsche is quick to stress the new has had far more than a mere of the turbo unit, though. 4. the new’s are similar to the technology currentlyd by bmw, the’s are, with a fine mist sprayed onto their netting. told the ensuing evaporation effect reduces intake temperature by as much as 15 degrees. 5. the new is want a manual car? then the for you. porsche will only offer its turbocharged with only, mr telling us the philosophy is that an means precision and lap times over any proclamations of driver purity. we applaud that. 6. the new will weigh under kilograms porsche’s goal is to keep the turbocharged underkg (incredible when you think the turbo s weighs 1,675kg). as such will be fitted as standard and, though there is steering, the car will remain a car. 7. the new will lap the ‘ring in around seven minutes flat again, porsche is quick to stress that no official time has been set yet. however, the new recorded seven minutes 12 seconds, and expect the to beat that. remember, 918 famously lapped the ‘ring in just six minutes 57 seconds in 2013, a record for a production car at the time. could the get near that? 8. the 991 features a new exterior design… …for a 991 car, at least. while its body is based on the naturally aspirated, see a number of new tweaks, including air inlet ducts in the front bonnet to aid brake cooling, as well as new side air inlets unique to the 991. 9. the new will be fully that means be a super-stiff, focused ride, but we were surprised by how compliant the car felt. that said, the dampers are mounted upside-down, in true guise, and the’s spring rates will be ‘the most extreme ever for a porsche road car’. 10. the new will be offered with an optional pack this cool option, which we expect many owners to take, will see the’s kerb weight reduced by around 30 kilograms.’s with the pack will come with a carbon fibre roof rather than a magnesium number found on the and r.	tɛn θɪŋz ˈlərnɪd əˈbaʊt ðə 991 ˈproʊtoʊˌtaɪp wərst kɛpt ˈsikrɪt əv ðɪs jɪr æt list. ðə 991 ɪz ɔn ɪts weɪ, ˈmɑrkɪŋ ə rɪˈtərn fər ðə ˈtərboʊˌʧɑrʤd ˈmɑnɪkər ˈæftər ə haɪˈeɪtəs. ðə ˈfaɪnəl pərˈdəkʃən ˈvərʒən əv ðɪs ˈhjuʤli ænˈtɪsəˌpeɪtɪd 911 ɪz du fər riˈlis sun bət, ɪn ðə ˈminˌtaɪm, wən ɑnˈdreɪəs ˌɪnˈvaɪtɪd ˈtoʊtəl 911 əˈlɔŋ tɪ ˈʤərməni tɪ raɪd ˈʃɑtˌgən ɪn ə ˈproʊtoʊˌtaɪp. ɛz ju kən ˌɪˈmæʤən, ˈfaɪnəl fækts ənd ˈfɪgjərz əv ðə nu ‘‘widdowmaker’’ ər stɪl tɪ bi ˈfʊli ˈrætəˌfaɪd, bət ɑr ˈpæsənʤər raɪd aʊt əv dɪd æt list rɪˈvil səm ki sˈnɪpəts əv ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən əˈhɛd əv lɔnʧ. tɛn ‘‘facts’’ wi ˈlərnɪd əˈbaʊt ðə nu 911: 1 ðə nu wɪl hæv æt list ˈriˌkɔl ðə ˈpriviəs 997 hæd wət ɪz stɪl ə ˈmaɪti (ɪt ˈæˌkʧuəli rɪˈmeɪnz ðə moʊst ˈpaʊərfəl 911 əv ɔl taɪm). ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ðə nu 991 lʊks sɛt tɪ ɪˈklɪps ðət, ˈtɛlɪŋ ˈjuˈɛs ðə kɑr wɪl bi gʊd fər æt list. 2 ðə nu wɪl boʊst mɔr ðən tɔrk ðət ˈmɑnstər tɔrk ˈfɪgjər ɪz ˈæˌkʧuəli ðə wərk əv ˈleɪtəst ˈtərboʊ ɛs, wɪʧ tɪ ðɪs pɔɪnt teɪks ðə ˈtaɪtəl əv biɪŋ ðə 911 wɪθ ðə moʊst twɪst (ðə 997 həz 700nm). ðə 991 lʊks sɛt tɪ seɪl pæst ðət ˈfɪgjər tu, ðoʊ hɛr rɪˈmeɪnz fər naʊ ɛz tɪ wət ðə ˈfaɪnəl ˈfɪgjər meɪ bi. 3 ðə ˈɪnʤən saɪz ɪz raɪt, wɛˈræz ðə ˈnæʧərəli ˈæspərˌeɪtɪd ənd 991 ɑr ə ˈbɪgər, ˈvərʒən əv flæt sɪks, ðə ˈjuzɪz ə ˈhɛvəli rɪˈvaɪzd ˈvərʒən əv ðə flæt sɪks faʊnd ɪn ðə ˈkɑrənt 991 ˈtərboʊ ɛs. ˈpɔrʃə ɪz kwɪk tɪ strɛs ðə nu həz hæd fɑr mɔr ðən ə mɪr əv ðə ˈtərboʊ ˈjunɪt, ðoʊ. 4 ðə nu ər ˈsɪmələr tɪ ðə tɛkˈnɑləʤi ˈkərəntli baɪ ˈbiˌɛmˈdəbəlju, ðə ər, wɪθ ə faɪn mɪst spreɪd ˈɔntu ðɛr ˈnɛtɪŋ. toʊld ðə ˈɛnsuɪŋ ɪˌvæpərˈeɪʃən ˈifɛkt rɪˈdusɪz ˈɪnˌteɪk ˈtɛmpərəʧər baɪ ɛz məʧ ɛz 15 dɪˈgriz. 5 ðə nu ɪz wɔnt ə ˈmænjuəl kɑr?

people who cancel their cable tv subscriptions may not miss their monthly bills, but they're also not missing out on some of their favorite broadcast shows. these so-called are more likely than the average internet user to watch abc programs like "jimmy kimmel live" and "modern family" and fox's animated series online, according to a survey conducted by marketing services. all fifteen of the shows with popularity among are broadcast programs that could be watched on traditional tv without a cable or satellite subscription shows like "house of cards" weren't measured). however the programs' popularity may have as much to do with their broad distribution strategy as with their availability. people didn't have to watch a full episode of a show for it to register on the list. clips also count, which could explain why programs that post a lot of clips online and are socially active -- like "jimmy kimmel live," which counts more than 4 million subscribers to its youtube channel -- rank so high. the late-night show's "worst fail ever" video has been watched more than 19 million times on youtube. "if it's or consumable in short clips, i think it's going to appeal to the audience because they're hungrier for video here and there," said john,'s senior analyst on marketing services and consumer insights. but it also helps if a show is available on or. found that 18% of households have or accounts. households with accounts are 181% more likely to be, and those with accounts are 138% more likely. twelve of the programs can be watched on, including nine that have full episodes available on the streaming service. and eight of the shows have episodes available on. but and are far from the only places are going for their tv fix. in fact are more likely than the average internet user to visit some tv networks' websites than they are to check out or youtube, found. nbc.com topped the list of online video sites are more inclined than most to visit. fox news' and sites followed, but those visits may be as much about news as video. "today" site and bing video rounded out the top five. all five sites edged out and youtube, but that seems be because the two video services' are pretty popular among cable subscribers as well as. and youtube combine to account for half of the country's web traffic. but aside from nbc and bing video, those visits may be as much about checking out the latest news as they are watching video. ranking is "certainly driven by who still need to get their sports fix somewhere," mr. said. sports has long been considered cable and satellite providers' biggest protection against. but while the nfl is often cited as the most valuable deterrent, that label should actually go to the nba. people who are "very interested" in the nfl are 23% less likely to cancel their cable subscriptions, but those "very interested" in the nba are 40% less likely, according to. college football indexed at 21%, trailed by major league baseball at 20%. experian measured as people who have broadband internet subscriptions but not cable or satellite tv subscriptions. that means these could people who canceled their tv subscriptions or never had one in the first place (a cohort commonly called "cord-nevers").	ˈpipəl hu ˈkænsəl ðɛr ˈkeɪbəl ˌtɛləˈvɪʒən səbˈskrɪpʃənz meɪ nɑt mɪs ðɛr ˈmənθli bɪlz, bət ðɛr ˈɔlsoʊ nɑt ˈmɪsɪŋ aʊt ɔn səm əv ðɛr ˈfeɪvərɪt ˈbrɔdˌkæst ʃoʊz. ðiz ˈsoʊˈkɔld ər mɔr ˈlaɪkli ðən ðə ˈævərɪʤ ˈɪntərˌnɛt ˈjuzər tɪ wɔʧ ˈeɪˌbiˌsi ˈproʊˌgræmz laɪk "ˈʤɪmi ˈkɪməl lɪv" ənd "ˈmɑdərn ˈfæməli" ənd ˈfɑksəz ˈænəˌmeɪtɪd ˈsɪriz ˈɔnˌlaɪn, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ə ˈsərˌveɪ kənˈdəktəd baɪ ˈmɑrkətɪŋ ˈsərvɪsɪz. ɔl ˈfɪfˈtin əv ðə ʃoʊz wɪθ ˌpɑpjəˈlɛrəti əˈməŋ ər ˈbrɔdˌkæst ˈproʊˌgræmz ðət kʊd bi wɔʧt ɔn trəˈdɪʃənəl ˌtɛləˈvɪʒən wɪˈθaʊt ə ˈkeɪbəl ər ˈsætəˌlaɪt səbˈskrɪpʃən ʃoʊz laɪk "haʊs əv kɑrdz" wərənt ˈmɛʒərd). ˌhaʊˈɛvər ðə ˈproʊˌgræmz' ˌpɑpjəˈlɛrəti meɪ hæv ɛz məʧ tɪ du wɪθ ðɛr brɔd ˌdɪstrəˈbjuʃən ˈstrætəʤi ɛz wɪθ ðɛr əˌveɪləˈbɪlɪti. ˈpipəl ˈdɪdənt hæv tɪ wɔʧ ə fʊl ˈɛpɪˌsoʊd əv ə ʃoʊ fər ɪt tɪ ˈrɛʤɪstər ɔn ðə lɪst. klɪps ˈɔlsoʊ kaʊnt, wɪʧ kʊd ɪkˈspleɪn waɪ ˈproʊˌgræmz ðət poʊst ə lɔt əv klɪps ˈɔnˌlaɪn ənd ər ˈsoʊʃəli ˈæktɪv laɪk "ˈʤɪmi ˈkɪməl lɪv," wɪʧ kaʊnts mɔr ðən 4 ˈmɪljən səbˈskraɪbərz tɪ ɪts ˈjuˌtub ˈʧænəl ræŋk soʊ haɪ. ðə ˈleɪtˌnaɪt ʃoʊz "wərst feɪl ˈɛvər" ˈvɪdioʊ həz bɪn wɔʧt mɔr ðən 19 ˈmɪljən taɪmz ɔn ˈjuˌtub.

update: april fool’s! we’d never get anything done if we still worked this way. this was just a love letter to processes from gone by. hope no one feels too taken in. previously we posted raw cover art in a long time, and one of the reasons is that completely changed how we make our covers. when we hired our in-house designer, andres juarez, one of our goals was to get back to the roots of comic book design. that means every single one of our covers is laid out by hand on top of artist charlie original art. corrections are made with white out, logos are carefully cut with x-acto knives, and we go through lots and lots of rubber cement and tape. in fact, andres even have a work computer! anyway, we wanted to give you a look at one of our covers (issue #153, out next wednesday), before it gets sent off to color processing: pretty cool, huh? you can see all of the imperfections that are carefully concealed in the final product, including some whited out areas (charlie!), acetate pegs, tape, and approval marks. here’s our transfer, where the elements are combined into a copy: the combined, cut, cleaned up, and enlarged acetate (above, taped to some bristol board for shipping) is sent to dave stewart, who does his colors directly on the back of the acetate, meticulously working on the reversed image: if it looks a little messy, because the black ink actually blocks out a lot of the color when the acetate is flipped. the final colored acetate is sent back to us for another round of approvals before we send it to image for production. every single one of these steps requires, time, patience, approval, and fedex! it all adds up: it takes about 3 months to complete a cover! but worth it for the final product: the walking dead #153 story: robert kirkman art: charlie, stefano & cliff rathburn cover: charlie & dave stewart april 6 32 pages \| black & white \| mature $2.99 heavy hangs the head.	ˈəpˌdeɪt: ˈeɪprəl fool’s*! ˈnɛvər gɪt ˈɛniˌθɪŋ dən ɪf wi stɪl wərkt ðɪs weɪ. ðɪs wɑz ʤɪst ə ləv ˈlɛtər tɪ ˈprɑsɛsəz frəm gɔn baɪ. hoʊp noʊ wən filz tu ˈteɪkən ɪn. ˈpriviəsli wi ˈpoʊstɪd rɑ ˈkəvər ɑrt ɪn ə lɔŋ taɪm, ənd wən əv ðə ˈrizənz ɪz ðət kəmˈplitli ʧeɪnʤd haʊ wi meɪk ɑr ˈkəvərz. wɪn wi haɪərd ɑr ˌɪnˈhaʊs dɪˈzaɪnər, ˈɑndreɪz ˈwɑˌrɛz, wən əv ɑr goʊlz wɑz tɪ gɪt bæk tɪ ðə ruts əv ˈkɑmɪk bʊk dɪˈzaɪn. ðət minz ˈɛvəri ˈsɪŋgəl wən əv ɑr ˈkəvərz ɪz leɪd aʊt baɪ hænd ɔn tɔp əv ˈɑrtɪst ˈʧɑrli ərˈɪʤənəl ɑrt. kərˈɛkʃənz ər meɪd wɪθ waɪt aʊt, ˈloʊˌgoʊz ər ˈkɛrfəli kət wɪθ ɛgˈzæktoʊ naɪvz, ənd wi goʊ θru lɑts ənd lɑts əv ˈrəbər sɪˈmɛnt ənd teɪp. ɪn fækt, ˈɑndreɪz ˈivɪn hæv ə wərk kəmˈpjutər! ˈɛniˌweɪ, wi ˈwɔntɪd tɪ gɪv ju ə lʊk æt wən əv ɑr ˈkəvərz (ˈɪʃu 153 aʊt nɛkst ˈwɛnzˌdeɪ), ˌbiˈfɔr ɪt gɪts sɛnt ɔf tɪ ˈkələr ˈprɑsɛsɪŋ: ˈprɪti kul, hə? ju kən si ɔl əv ðə ˌɪmpərˈfɛkʃənz ðət ər ˈkɛrfəli kənˈsild ɪn ðə ˈfaɪnəl ˈprɑdəkt, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ səm ˈwaɪtɪd aʊt ˈɛriəz (ˈʧɑrli!), ˈæsəˌteɪt pɛgz, teɪp, ənd əˈpruvəl mɑrks. ɑr ˈtrænsfər, wɛr ðə ˈɛləmənts ər kəmˈbaɪnd ˈɪntu ə ˈkɑpi: ðə kəmˈbaɪnd, kət, klind əp, ənd ˌɛnˈlɑrʤd ˈæsəˌteɪt (əˈbəv, teɪpt tɪ səm ˈbrɪstəl bɔrd fər ˈʃɪpɪŋ) ɪz sɛnt tɪ deɪv stuərt, hu dɪz hɪz ˈkələrz dɪˈrɛkli ɔn ðə bæk əv ðə ˈæsəˌteɪt, məˈtɪkjələsli ˈwərkɪŋ ɔn ðə rɪˈvərst ˈɪmɪʤ: ɪf ɪt lʊks ə ˈlɪtəl ˈmɛsi, bɪˈkəz ðə blæk ɪŋk ˈæˌkʧuəli blɑks aʊt ə lɔt əv ðə ˈkələr wɪn ðə ˈæsəˌteɪt ɪz flɪpt. ðə ˈfaɪnəl ˈkələrd ˈæsəˌteɪt ɪz sɛnt bæk tɪ ˈjuˈɛs fər əˈnəðər raʊnd əv əˈpruvəlz ˌbiˈfɔr wi sɛnd ɪt tɪ ˈɪmɪʤ fər pərˈdəkʃən. ˈɛvəri ˈsɪŋgəl wən əv ðiz stɛps rikˈwaɪərz, taɪm, ˈpeɪʃəns, əˈpruvəl, ənd ˈfɛˈdɛks! ɪt ɔl ædz əp: ɪt teɪks əˈbaʊt 3 mənθs tɪ kəmˈplit ə ˈkəvər! bət wərθ ɪt fər ðə ˈfaɪnəl ˈprɑdəkt: ðə ˈwɔkɪŋ dɛd 153 ˈstɔri: ˈrɑbərt ˈkərkmən ɑrt: ˈʧɑrli, ˈstɛfənoʊ klɪf ˈræθbərn ˈkəvər: ˈʧɑrli deɪv stuərt ˈeɪprəl 6 32 ˈpeɪʤɪz blæk waɪt məˈʧʊr ˈhɛvi hæŋz ðə hɛd.
image caption the private university will be able to set its own level for tuition fees the first new private sector university college for more than 30 years is being announced by the universities minister. david willetts will allow, which has 14 regional branches, to become a university college. the new college, which offers law and business degrees, wants to expand into health and teaching degrees. private universities will help to create a "dynamic and flexible" degree system, says mr willetts. but the lecturers' union warned that an expansion of the private sector would be a "disaster" and that the creation of a new private university was the "beginning of a slippery slope". the new university college has ambitions to set up a range of new courses in the next 12 months. us parent company a planned school of healthcare could offer degree courses in areas including dentistry, nursing, radiography, speech therapy, psychology and physiotherapy. "it is healthy to have a vibrant private sector working alongside our more traditional universities," said mr willetts, who has conferred university college status with immediate effect. "i am delighted that, less than four months after coming into office, we are creating the first new private university college in more than 30 years." adding to the significance of this move is that the new university college of professional studies is part of the group that owns one of the biggest universities in the united states, the university of phoenix. the university sector has grown rapidly in the united states - and this announcement signals the intention to have more such private providers in the. mr willetts says that private universities will help to develop innovative ways of delivering courses, such as online degrees. pressure on places expanding the private sector is seen by the government as a way of tackling the financial pressures and lack of places facing the university system. private universities would add extra capacity, when hundreds of thousands of applicants are set to miss out on places this autumn. the university college will also receive no money from the higher education funding councils. as a private university it will also be able to set its own level for tuition fees. we see ourselves as a pioneer in this field, and hope that our unique status and model will lead the way in which other providers will be able to operate in carl lygo, chief executive the public sector universities have faced a strict limit on expansion, with individual universities facing fines of up to for recruiting too many students last year. bpp already has powers. it has students taking courses in its law and business schools and a further taking accountancy qualifications. it will be the first private university college to have been created since buckingham in the 1970s, which was first created a university college and then later became the university of buckingham. so far buckingham has been the only university in the operating without direct government funding. 'pioneers' "the education landscape is changing, and over the next decade we will see a different picture emerging, where both students and employers will drive demand for their preferred method of study and training," says chief executive, carl lygo. "we see ourselves as a pioneer in this field, and hope that our unique status and model will lead the way in which other providers will be able to operate in." but sally hunt, leader of the lecturers' union, attacked the creation of the new university college as a threat to standards in higher education. "today's news could mark the beginning of a slippery slope for academic provision in this country," she said. "encouraging the growth of private providers and making it easier for them to call themselves universities would be a disaster for the academic reputation. it would also represent a huge threat to academic freedom and standards." "private providers are not accountable to the public and do not deserve to be put in the same league as our universities," said the leader of the lecturers' union. pam tatlow, chief executive of the million+ group of new universities, also opposed the expansion of the private sector. "today's announcement suggests the coalition will favour private universities, where the motive is to deliver profits for a holding company and for shareholders, at the expense of publicly funding universities," she said. this announcement on setting up the new university college will be seen as another piece in the jigsaw of higher education. a review of funding and fees in higher education is set to report in the autumn. speaking ahead of its findings, ministers have spoken of the need for a more varied system, including more private providers, degrees and students living at home. there are also disputes over whether tuition fees should be increased or a graduate tax should be introduced. ministers have recognised that demand for degree courses is set to grow. but they have warned that the current funding arrangements are unsustainable.	ˈɪmɪʤ ˈkæpʃən ðə ˈpraɪvət ˌjunəˈvərsəti wɪl bi ˈeɪbəl tɪ sɛt ɪts oʊn ˈlɛvəl fər tjuˈɪʃən fiz ðə fərst nu ˈpraɪvət ˈsɛktər ˌjunəˈvərsəti ˈkɑlɪʤ fər mɔr ðən 30 jɪrz ɪz biɪŋ əˈnaʊnst baɪ ðə ˌjunəˈvərsətiz ˈmɪnɪstər. ˈdeɪvɪd ˈwɪlɪts wɪl əˈlaʊ, wɪʧ həz 14 ˈriʤənəl ˈbrænʧɪz, tɪ bɪˈkəm ə ˌjunəˈvərsəti ˈkɑlɪʤ. ðə nu ˈkɑlɪʤ, wɪʧ ˈɔfərz lɔ ənd ˈbɪznɪs dɪˈgriz, wɔnts tɪ ɪkˈspænd ˈɪntu hɛlθ ənd ˈtiʧɪŋ dɪˈgriz. ˈpraɪvət ˌjunəˈvərsətiz wɪl hɛlp tɪ kriˈeɪt ə "daɪˈnæmɪk ənd ˈflɛksəbəl" dɪˈgri ˈsɪstəm, sɪz ˈmɪstər ˈwɪlɪts. bət ðə ˈlɛkʧərərz' ˈjunjən wɔrnd ðət ən ɪkˈspænʧən əv ðə ˈpraɪvət ˈsɛktər wʊd bi ə "dɪˈzæstər" ənd ðət ðə kriˈeɪʃən əv ə nu ˈpraɪvət ˌjunəˈvərsəti wɑz ðə "bɪˈgɪnɪŋ əv ə sˈlɪpəri sloʊp". ðə nu ˌjunəˈvərsəti ˈkɑlɪʤ həz æmˈbɪʃənz tɪ sɛt əp ə reɪnʤ əv nu ˈkɔrsɪz ɪn ðə nɛkst 12 mənθs. ˈjuˈɛs ˈpɛrənt ˈkəmpəˌni ə plænd skul əv ˈhɛlθˌkɛr kʊd ˈɔfər dɪˈgri ˈkɔrsɪz ɪn ˈɛriəz ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ˈdɛntɪstri, ˈnərsɪŋ, ˌreɪdiˈɑgrəfi, spiʧ ˈθɛrəpi, saɪˈkɑləʤi ənd physiotherapy.

federal reserve chairman ben had something to say about sequestration during his testimony before the house banking committee on tuesday. he thinks the looming spending cuts could actually make it harder, not easier, to reduce the deficit. why? they'll hurt growth while the economy's still weak: oh why do i bother. no one in congress listens to me anyway. (ap) the estimates that policies in current law will slow the pace of real growth by about percentage points this year, relative to what it would have been otherwise. a significant portion of this effect is related to the automatic spending sequestration that is scheduled to begin on march 1, which, according to the's estimates, will contribute about percentage point to the fiscal drag on economic growth this year. given the underlying pace of economic growth, this additional burden on the recovery is significant. moreover, besides having adverse effects on jobs and incomes, a slower recovery would lead to less actual deficit reduction in the short run for any given set of fiscal actions. the logic here is simple enough. the sequestration cuts will drag down economic growth this year, which will mean that fewer americans will have jobs and less tax revenue will pour in. nothing cures deficits like stronger economic growth. and right now, congress's policies are standing in the way of stronger growth. so what's's alternative? wait a bit longer to start cutting, at least until the recovery is on firmer footing: "congress and the administration should consider replacing the sharp, spending cuts required by the sequestration* with policies that reduce the federal deficit more gradually in the near term but more substantially in the longer run." * pedantic footnote: and, yes, is technically correct when he says "sequestration" rather than "sequester" the latter is typically a verb! but everyone in washington is saying "the sequester" at this point, so who are we to stand up for proper grammar?	ˈfɛdərəl rɪˈzərv ˈʧɛrmən bɛn hæd ˈsəmθɪŋ tɪ seɪ əˈbaʊt ˌsɛkwəˈstreɪʃən ˈdʊrɪŋ hɪz ˈtɛstɪˌmoʊni ˌbiˈfɔr ðə haʊs ˈbæŋkɪŋ kəˈmɪti ɔn ˈtuzˌdeɪ. hi θɪŋks ðə ˈlumɪŋ ˈspɛndɪŋ kəts kʊd ˈæˌkʧuəli meɪk ɪt ˈhɑrdər, nɑt ˈiziər, tɪ rɪˈdus ðə ˈdɛfəsət. waɪ? ðɛl hərt groʊθ waɪl ðə ɪˈkɑnəmiz stɪl wik: oʊ waɪ du aɪ ˈbɑðər. noʊ wən ɪn ˈkɑŋgrəs ˈlɪsənz tɪ mi ˈɛniˌweɪ.

as islamic state commits atrocities throughout syria, the militant group continues to make money from human trafficking and sex slavery. spoke with three people who managed to flee the violence. one woman spoke about the brutal acts committed by islamic state (formerly isis/isil). “they cut off heads and kidnapped girls and women and took them to raqqa. what were the slaves guilty of? this is a sin,” she told. a man spoke of the hypocrisy surrounding isis, recalling that while the group insists that females remain modest, they strip their slaves to make money. “they forced women to be fully covered and never show any part of the body,” he said. however, they made their slaves strip in order to sell them. women are not allowed to show anything. if someone was caught on the streets during prayer, she would be given 100 lashes.” read more another man recalled the kidnapping of christian women and girls, as well as the destruction of churches. “they stole property and destroyed churches. our christian sisters were seized. some of them were taken hostage and held for ransom,” he said. sex slavery and human trafficking has been a typical method of raising revenue for isis. earlier this month, the remains of up to 80 enslaved women were discovered in iraq. the women were believed to be between the ages of 40 and 80, leading to speculation that the group was only after younger women. a price list verified as authentic by the un confirms the fact that younger is apparently better in the eyes of isis. the list showed that children aged one to nine years old are sold for about $165, while women over 40 go for as little as $41. there have, however, been numerous reports of women fighting back against isis militants. a courageous iraqi woman made headlines in september after a report emerged that she had killed the isis commander who kidnapped her and forced her to be a sex slave. other women unfortunately lost their lives fighting against isis. in august, the militants reportedly executed 15 women at military base near mosul after the victims refused to marry terrorists. another 19 women in mosul were executed for the same reason in july. there have also been numerous reports of sex slaves committing suicide to escape their situation. aware of the horrible atrocities committed against women by isis, canadian businessman steve told earlier this year that he is doing all he can to return victims to safety. this is done by negotiating the women's release by reasoning with the captors or refunding them the amount of money they paid for each slave. “we are not funding [isis or the captors], we are refunding them,” said.	ɛz ˌɪzˈlɑmɪk steɪt kəˈmɪts əˈtrɑsətiz θruaʊt ˈsɪriə, ðə ˈmɪlətənt grup kənˈtɪnjuz tɪ meɪk ˈməni frəm ˈjumən ˈtræfɪkɪŋ ənd sɛks sˈleɪvəri. spoʊk wɪθ θri ˈpipəl hu ˈmænɪʤd tɪ fli ðə ˈvaɪələns. wən ˈwʊmən spoʊk əˈbaʊt ðə ˈbrutəl ækts kəˈmɪtɪd baɪ ˌɪzˈlɑmɪk steɪt (ˈfɔrmərli isis/isil). kət ɔf hɛdz ənd ˈkɪdˌnæpt gərlz ənd ˈwɪmən ənd tʊk ðɛm tɪ raqqa. wət wər ðə sleɪvz ˈgɪlti əv?

creepiest ghost photos ever: the pink lady of greencastle 6 we’re now down to the last two installments for the ghost photos ever series. today, take a look at a set of photos taken in the mansion in greencastle, indiana, showing the ghost that became known as the pink lady of greencastle. photo via the p.i.r.g. the photo above was taken by guy winters during a paranormal investigation in mansion in greencastle, indiana. it came to be called “the pink lady of greencastle,” owing its name to the ghostly figure of a lady seemingly lit by a pinkish glow. a friend told winters that he and his girlfriend had a scary encounter with a ghostly entity during an attempt to have a tryst in the abandoned property. so, winters, along with another friend terry and a team of paranormal investigators, explored the mansion upon being granted permission by the owner. armed with video cameras and simple flash cameras, winters and his group began documenting their search for several days. finally, the group began to feel something spooky during one of their night visits. while some of his companions covered the interior of the ruined mansion, winters started taking photos of the windows and doorways outside. he did not recall seeing anything, but when the film was developed, there it was: the but also visible figure of a lady staring out from one of the windows. she is believed to be the ghost of irene. the fourth frame on the lower right shows a from the analysis done on one of the photos snapped by winters, showing something distinctly skull-like. the verdict of the photographic expert? the figure of the pink lady was registered on the film and was not caused by a camera malfunction or questionable activity. winters and his team of investigators had the chance to return to the mansion, but they never felt, saw, or photographed the pink lady again. the brick mansion was said to be built in the early 1800s. perhaps to steer ghost hunters away from his property, the current owner unfortunately had it demolished. a cornfield replaced the spot where the spooky mansion once stood. so what do you think, is this real or another fake ghost photo? tell us what you think with a comment below! also, forget to check out the others featured in the creepy series! sources and additional readings: best ghost photos: the pink lady of green castle -- paranormal phenomena, the pink lady of greencastle -- ghost photos from the web -- the p.i.r.g.	creepiest* goʊst ˈfoʊˌtoʊz ˈɛvər: ðə pɪŋk ˈleɪdi əv ˈgrinˌkæsəl 6 naʊ daʊn tɪ ðə læst tu ˌɪnˈstɔlmənts fər ðə goʊst ˈfoʊˌtoʊz ˈɛvər ˈsɪriz. təˈdeɪ, teɪk ə lʊk æt ə sɛt əv ˈfoʊˌtoʊz ˈteɪkən ɪn ðə ˈmænʃən ɪn ˈgrinˌkæsəl, ˌɪndiˈænə, ʃoʊɪŋ ðə goʊst ðət bɪˈkeɪm noʊn ɛz ðə pɪŋk ˈleɪdi əv ˈgrinˌkæsəl. ˈfoʊˌtoʊ ˈviə ðə p.i.r.g. ðə ˈfoʊˌtoʊ əˈbəv wɑz ˈteɪkən baɪ gaɪ ˈwɪntərz ˈdʊrɪŋ ə pɛrəˈnɔrməl ˌɪnˌvɛstəˈgeɪʃən ɪn ˈmænʃən ɪn ˈgrinˌkæsəl, ˌɪndiˈænə. ɪt keɪm tɪ bi kɔld pɪŋk ˈleɪdi əv greencastle,”,” oʊɪŋ ɪts neɪm tɪ ðə ˈgoʊstli ˈfɪgjər əv ə ˈleɪdi ˈsimɪŋli lɪt baɪ ə ˈpɪŋkɪʃ gloʊ. ə frɛnd toʊld ˈwɪntərz ðət hi ənd hɪz ˈgərlˌfrɛnd hæd ə ˈskɛri ɪnˈkaʊnər wɪθ ə ˈgoʊstli ˈɛntɪti ˈdʊrɪŋ ən əˈtɛmpt tɪ hæv ə trɪst ɪn ðə əˈbændənd ˈprɑpərti. soʊ, ˈwɪntərz, əˈlɔŋ wɪθ əˈnəðər frɛnd ˈtɛri ənd ə tim əv pɛrəˈnɔrməl ˌɪnˈvɛstəˌgeɪtərz, ɪkˈsplɔrd ðə ˈmænʃən əˈpɑn biɪŋ ˈgrænɪd pərˈmɪʃən baɪ ðə ˈoʊnər. ɑrmd wɪθ ˈvɪdioʊ ˈkæmərəz ənd ˈsɪmpəl flæʃ ˈkæmərəz, ˈwɪntərz ənd hɪz grup bɪˈgæn ˈdɑkjəmənɪŋ ðɛr sərʧ fər ˈsɛvərəl deɪz. ˈfaɪnəli, ðə grup bɪˈgæn tɪ fil ˈsəmθɪŋ ˈspuki ˈdʊrɪŋ wən əv ðɛr naɪt ˈvɪzɪts. waɪl səm əv hɪz kəmˈpænjənz ˈkəvərd ðə ˌɪnˈtɪriər əv ðə ruɪnd ˈmænʃən, ˈwɪntərz ˈstɑrtɪd ˈteɪkɪŋ ˈfoʊˌtoʊz əv ðə ˈwɪndoʊz ənd ˈdɔrˌweɪz ˈaʊtˈsaɪd. hi dɪd nɑt ˈriˌkɔl siɪŋ ˈɛniˌθɪŋ, bət wɪn ðə fɪlm wɑz dɪˈvɛləpt, ðɛr ɪt wɑz: ðə bət ˈɔlsoʊ ˈvɪzəbəl ˈfɪgjər əv ə ˈleɪdi ˈstɛrɪŋ aʊt frəm wən əv ðə ˈwɪndoʊz. ʃi ɪz bɪˈlivd tɪ bi ðə goʊst əv aɪˈrin. ðə fɔrθ freɪm ɔn ðə loʊər raɪt ʃoʊz ə frəm ðə æˈnælɪsɪs dən ɔn wən əv ðə ˈfoʊˌtoʊz snæpt baɪ ˈwɪntərz, ʃoʊɪŋ ˈsəmθɪŋ dɪˈstɪŋktli skull-like. ðə ˈvərdɪkt əv ðə ˌfoʊtəˈgræfɪk ˈɛkspərt? ðə ˈfɪgjər əv ðə pɪŋk ˈleɪdi wɑz ˈrɛʤɪstərd ɔn ðə fɪlm ənd wɑz nɑt kɔzd baɪ ə ˈkæmərə mælˈfəŋkʃən ər kˈwɛsʧənəbəl ækˈtɪvɪti. ˈwɪntərz ənd hɪz tim əv ˌɪnˈvɛstəˌgeɪtərz hæd ðə ʧæns tɪ rɪˈtərn tɪ ðə ˈmænʃən, bət ðeɪ ˈnɛvər fɛlt, sɔ, ər ˈfoʊtəˌgræft ðə pɪŋk ˈleɪdi əˈgɛn. ðə brɪk ˈmænʃən wɑz sɛd tɪ bi bɪlt ɪn ðə ˈərli 1800s. pərˈhæps tɪ stɪr goʊst ˈhəntərz əˈweɪ frəm hɪz ˈprɑpərti, ðə ˈkɑrənt ˈoʊnər ənˈfɔrʧənətli hæd ɪt dɪˈmɑlɪʃt. ə ˈkɔrnˌfild ˌriˈpleɪst ðə spɑt wɛr ðə ˈspuki ˈmænʃən wəns stʊd. soʊ wət du ju θɪŋk, ɪz ðɪs ril ər əˈnəðər feɪk goʊst ˈfoʊˌtoʊ? tɛl ˈjuˈɛs wət ju θɪŋk wɪθ ə ˈkɑmɛnt bɪˈloʊ! ˈɔlsoʊ, fərˈgɛt tɪ ʧɛk aʊt ðə ˈəðərz ˈfiʧərd ɪn ðə ˈkripi ˈsɪriz! ˈsɔrsəz ənd əˈdɪʃənəl ˈridɪŋz: bɛst goʊst ˈfoʊˌtoʊz: ðə pɪŋk ˈleɪdi əv grin ˈkæsəl pɛrəˈnɔrməl fəˈnɑmənə, ðə pɪŋk ˈleɪdi əv ˈgrinˌkæsəl goʊst ˈfoʊˌtoʊz frəm ðə wɛb ðə p.i.r.g*.
by ben 2030: tomorrow we've got wales v scotland, with live tv, radio and online coverage. wales will be hoping to win and convincingly enough to go top of the table, scotland to get their campaign up and running and us? we just want to see some more rugby. until then, good evening. bbc sport's chris at stade de france: "our reporter jill douglas was in the tunnel with the france players when they heard the match was called off. 'you can't imagine their reaction,' she said." sean on play, been a while since an ireland team came home from paris undefeated." bbc sport's chris at stade de france: "so says rules: '15.5.1 after full consultation with the visiting union, the visited union shall have the sole right and discretion to determine whether or not an international match shall be postponed on account of adverse weather conditions or the state of the ground. travelling and hotel expenses incurred by the visiting union in connection with any such futile visit shall be paid by the visited union'. doubtful whether the can stretch to reimbursing fans..." 2012: naturally, we have country legends now on bbc two - bobbie gentry on at the moment, papa won't you let me go to town with you? well, you can, go and get in paris - the game's off. it's been a strange day all round - apologies for the technical problems, hopefully someone will have it fixed for the game tomorrow. not a lot i can do about the weather but i somehow feel responsible for that, as well. there is one constant in this cruel and capricious world, however: i love you all. night. ireland head coach kidney on bbc two: "i think the referee has made the right decision. i believe the game will be rearranged but whether it's next week which is a real tight ask or later is for the six nations to decide. i'm sure they're working on it as we speak so i would expect to hear maybe some time monday. [on the players' reaction] international rugby isn't something where you turn up and go for a friendly jog around. but they're great lads and they'll settle down again." 2003: the most remarkable part about this whole thing is how a modern stadium like the stade de france hasn't got heating. that's just weird. to be fair, the players look as bemused as the fans. that's that from the tv boys and i think we might sign off in a few minutes as well. sorry... keith wood on bbc two: "the players were all ready to play but it is safety concerns. but why is it at the last minute that it's called off?" 2000: just as the anthems should have been playing, the fans are being told the game has been abandoned instead. they're not going anywhere, however, looks like complete disbelief. first game abandoned in the tournament because of adverse weather for 25 years... 1958: not sure if they've let the people in the stade de france know yet but this match is going to be rescheduled. i know this won't be much consolation to those irish fans who have travelled to paris but if it's too dangerous, it's too dangerous. then again, as keith wood just pointed out, it's been ruddy freezing in paris all week... 1953: sorry folks - it's off! pitch because of the freezing weather conditions jonathan davies on bbc two: "it's imperative that if there is any danger to a player's safety, it should be called off. a player's safety is first and foremost - if a player gets an injury, it's not worth it." 1945: news reaches me they are still carrying out a pitch inspection in paris and heaters are now being brought onto the pitch - this suggests the game hasn't been given the quite just yet: a few hard, icy patches and this game might be toast, they can't risk any injuries... france: 15- medard, 14- clerc, 13- rougerie, 12- fofana, 11- malzieu, 10- trinh-duc, 9- parra; 1- poux, 2- szarzewski, 3- mas, 4- pape, 5- maestri, 6- dusautoir, 7- hardinorquy, 8- picamoles. replacements: 16- servat, 17- debaty, 18- nallet, 19- bonnaire, 20- dupuy, 21- beauxis, 22- mermoz. ireland: 15- kearney, 14- bowe, 13- earls, 12- d'arcy, 11- trimble, 10- sexton, 9- murray; 1- healy, 2- best, 3- ross, 4- o'callaghan, 5- o'connell, 6- ferris, 7- o'brien, 8- heaslip. replacements: 16- cronin, 17- court, 18- ryan, 19- o'mahony, 20- reddan, 21- o'gara, 22- mcfadden. 1937: when i said ireland never won at the parc des princes, of course i meant in the six nations. france have won 11 of the last 12 encounters between the two sides and their past nine home matches in the six nations. only one winner, surely? especially given france looked pretty handy last weekend. 1932: ireland have only won once in paris in 40 years, when a brian o'driscoll bagged a in a victory. that said, ireland haven't lost six nations tests since 2005 or their first two tests in the competition since 1998, when they lost all four fixtures. here's one for you: ireland never won at the parc des princes. 1922: ... we will have some build-up to the game on bbc two and bbc at 1930, stand by... bbc sport's chris at stade de france: "expect your opening titles on to be dripping with parisian history. john has been paying a visit to the stadium where harold abrahams won a olympic gold medal for britain in 1924, on a running track surrounding a ragged pitch on which the ireland rugby team only ever won twice. he also cast his eye over an atmospheric old bowl where the boys in green never tasted victory. don't forget, ireland have only beat les once in the french capital in the past 40 years..." sean on twitter: "if lancaster can explain to the how are all part of his master plan the england job's his." 1857: the team upstairs have worked their magic and we now have highlights of england's fight back in rome, all neatly packaged in an 3 minutes 57 seconds. 1848: just got a look at the match stats for italy v england and, surprise surprise, they suggest it was a very tight match. penalties conceded, ball won in open play, tackles made 85 apiece. but italy made 15 errors to england's nine and perhaps therein lies the story. 1840: most relieved man in rome? england coach stuart lancaster must be a contender. "we recognise we still have a long way to go," he says. "the most pleasing thing was that there was no sense of panic." 1832: but before that more reaction from italy v england. tom full match report from a freezing rome is now live and he's also put a poser out on twitter: "thoughts on that eng performance? admirable resolve when day seemed lost, makes up for poor half? to start v wales?" get involved via 1825: we're hearing that france v ireland will go ahead after passing the pitch inspection - is 2000 with live coverage on bbc two, the bbc channel, 5 live and online. martin woods on twitter: "the italian coach lost that match by substituting his kicker who was doing well for the worst kicker ever in 6 nations." 1801: and so to paris, where i'm told it's even colder than it was in rome. pitch inspection at 1815, i'll let you know... england's owen farrell on bbc one: "the conditions were ok at the start, it was pretty still but a bit of snow had settled. the wind picked up in the second half and it started snowing again, but it was not too bad. "at half-time stuart lancaster said to keep doing what we were doing, we don't have to chase. their tries came more through our mistakes. i felt we were still on top in the first half, credit to the boys, we dug in and got the win." carys morgan on twitter:"guscott: 'we can't overstate how well england have done in these two games'. you can, and you are. and then some." charlie hodgson on england's fight back: "we knew we had to keep our composure. we felt we dominated in the first half but they got a lucky try. we kept plugging away, kept out heads and it came good in the end. to show the resolve we have from down, to be successful in a place like this we've shown what we have." former england captain lawrence on bbc one: "full credit to england, they italy and there's lots of positives for the likes of dickson, when he came on, hodgson and morgan. england march on now back to and will look forward to wales." 1752: italy england what to say about that? pretty awful first half by england but i don't think it was an coincidence that stuart side perked up after the introductions of lee dickson and number eight ben morgan: more urgency, more speed, more thrust, more edge. more reasons for optimism. italy had a big chance there for a first ever win against england, dear old sergio must think it's never going to happen. when - if - that day ever comes, will probably spontaneously combust into a blob of red, white and green on the turf beneath him. full-time: italy england ... knocked forward by italy and england have their second win of the six nations campaign... 79: italy england italy win one against the head and brings it clear... england turn it over only to hand italy another. snow really hammering down now as the clock turns red... bbc sport's chief reporter tom fordyce on twitter: "england hanging on now at. farrell from tee, nerveless; tobias with the worst penalty miss in history" 77: italy england sergio has been named man of the match - by the italian press, i should add. then again, not sure who's played better. hodgson off, on, farrell switched to 10. collapsing as bodies begin to flag, botha getting treatment on his left knee as the clock ticks downwards... david brain on twitter, using: "contrasting fortunes for two bens. ben youngs = lacking zip. ben morgan = strong like a bull" 74: italy england a debate in the office as to whether the red streaks on the england shirts is blood caused by the friction of the ice or just red paint. the romantic in me is sorry to report it's just red paint. penalty to italy for a push by ashton - deary me, i'm not sure i've ever seen a penalty as bad as that,' effort didn't even make the posts. stevens and webber on for and hartley, webber of wasps making his debut. 71: italy england dickson with a solid clearance but italy have a on england's 22. england have been so much better in the first half an hour of this second half but the is in full throttle as italy threaten. benvenuti tries to wriggle a way through the england defence before england's forwards turn the ball over... dickson finds with the box kick but the ball goes loose, cole secures and england thrust clear... 68: italy england england make a real dog's dinner of the restart and has the chance to get his side to within one point again - not sure what's happened there, looked like he was kicking a balloon. that's a very naughty kick, however, from the south african, england papered into a corner in their own 22... 65: italy england as a man opposite me saws through an eccles cake with a bic biro - as if today could get any more surreal, - is hit hard and england have a turnover bang in front of the posts. dan cole showing the scars of war, his right ear bloodied and bruised, but the leicester man ruins opposite number lo cicero and farrell pops over the penalty from just right of the posts. lawrence on bbc one: "it's all too delicately poised. it's fair to say it wasn't a great first half but it's come to life and is there for either side now." 62: italy england the snow starts to fall again in rome as is whistled for incorrect binding. hartley finds at the and england come again. england swing it right and then left and here goes botha on a barrel... barritt with the but after a number of phases italy nick it back... charged down again, barritt thinks he's scored but it was an england knock-on... adam roberts on = game changer. we seem to have found the gain line all of a sudden." 57: italy england morgan under a high ball and here goes the man on a trundle... and again, the number eight showing the italy defence a clean pair of heels. barritt very nearly slips a pass inside but italy's scramble defence snuffs out the threat. 55: penalty italy england dickson has made england a bit faster since his introduction - taps and goes, snipes, quicker all round. farrell slippers over the three-pointer, england have the lead. 53: italy england more urgency from england now and here's morgan on a charge before gets his head down and lets the hooves fly. dickson has a snipe, kick through and that's handy defence from tobias, italy's replacement. deliberate knock-on, farrell with the chance to regain the lead for england. 50: italy england farrell bangs over the extras and england are right back in it. ben morgan enters the fray, on for phil; lee dickson on for ben youngs at. lawrence on bbc one: "what a time to score for england just when they really needed it, how important a try might that be in the context of this match?" 50: try italy england with another steal against the head and suddenly stuart lancaster knows what it's really like to be england's head coach: uncomfortable... hodgson with the try, that's two in two weeks and his eighth try for england... 46: penalty italy england burton misses touch again with a penalty out of hands before it all goes off as is taken out after a chip and charge, croft the villain. not sure there was much in that, has hit the deck like a swooning victorian lady from a jane austen tome. whatever, it's a penalty chance... kris burton has squeezed it through, england in a serious spot. from max on twitter: "wow, we're passing! a forgotten art of the english team." 44: italy england italy with the rolling maul, the hosts into england's 22. burton with the attempted and it's a duffer. masi on the switch as italy win the ball back before gori pops up a box kick - barritt a kick deep into enemy territory but he's pinged for not rolling away. 41: italy england hodgson with the restart and here comes with a strong carry. england go through the phases, trying to get a foothold in the game, but the ball is eventually coughed up and it's a penalty to italy. burton cocks the hammer, big territory gained... jeremy on bbc one: "england are doing nothing at pace, nothing with great momentum, and italy really on english mistakes at the end of the half. italy have had important wins all along during their time in the six nations and what a position to get into now. this crowd just can't wait their team to come out again." lawrence on bbc one: "england were going to settle for up and then there were two lapses in concentration. england didn't clear their lines and now the italians have really got the crowd behind them it's going to be tough for england." 1658: first of all, i must apologise for all the technical problems we - and therefore you - have been having. we're going old school - it might not look beautiful but i'll endeavour to make the words as sexy as possible. think of it like a lovely lady poured into a hessian sack. 40: benvenuti - italy england unbelievable! two tries in two minutes for italy, benvenuti latching onto an attempted from and running in a try from roughly the halfway line. england caught with their pants down just before half-time - that's changed the tone of the dressing room chat, i'd wager. 38 venditti try- italy england but here come italy, assaulting england's lines - burton with the and england's defenders miss it... fumble from - apologies, it was a ricochet off the chest, and venditti is all over it, sliding in to score the first try of the game. burton misses with the extras... 35:... almost the identical spot from the first kick, farrell, all terry butchered up in head bandages, just makes it over to double england's lead. 34: is dragged to his feet, looks like he's going to continue, only to signal to the bench that his race his run. looks like a cracked rib - when castro looks in pain, you know it must be serious, he has the constitution of a hereford bullock. england with a destructive and it's a penalty to young side, farrell with another attempt at a three-pointer... 32: zanni fumbles at the and england are on it in a flash. youngs with the and here comes masi... gori with the high one and pockets it and italy surge forward... burton on the loop, long pass, benvenuti spills it. has done himself a mischief, looks like he's winded... lawrence on bbc one: brad barritt was a bit too early, a bit too keen in all honesty. most referees would have let that go because we've had a lot of stoppages, but it's the right call. 31: italy forcing the play down the - burton with a before gori looks to and the ball into touch. england's looks to have been hammered into shape after those early crinkles. bit of between hartley and the italy front-row, barritt pinged for tackling canale in the air. matt dawson on bbc radio 5 live: sergio made a mess of a wraparound, david put the shoe on it and was down - it was obstruction and quite rightly the penalty was given to england. the referee blew because he thought the italian defender was going to pick the ball up but owen farrell smashed him. 26:italy england no mistakes from farrell, straight and true from a decent distance... 25:, of all people, puts his side in all sorts of bother with an errant pass on the turn and it looked like burton clipped's heels as the english wing looked to steal a march. an italian gets there first but that's a penalty to england... 23: ashton swings it wide to after a kick down the middle from burton and the northampton gets plenty of purchase on his clearance. quick off the top of the by italy and the hosts put phases together... before burton kicks it away... again... 21 bit of ping-pong before england force the turnover. this ain't pretty. in fact, this match is so ugly it would make a purist want to punch his own eyes out. croft with the take at the, england with possession in italy's 22. hodgson looking to with barritt but the saracens centre knocks it forward and burton clears his lines... emi repetto: "wish england would played incisive rugby, we have equal talent to wales, ireland and definitely france, why don't we use it?" steam rising off both packs as they ready themselves to engage - like cattle in a way, but cattle in rugby shirts. with a hefty tackle on mclean but the italy wing retains possession. ashton fields a burton kick over his shoulder and calls a mark... misses touch... alex youngs needs to wipe the sleep from his eyes, has he just woken up from a little cat nap?" 6 hodgson with a - that's got snow on it, literally - but italy recover it, only for burton to fail to find touch. burton now with an but it's all a little bit aimless at the moment, ashton underneath it and he makes some ground. another stolen, england creaking at the set-piece, and this time burton slippers a cute tactical kick through. matt dawson on bbc radio 5 live: "england are playing multi, but putting too many players into contact. there's three or four players against pretty much no-one and therefore there's a in italy's favour." 3 min edoardo gori of treviso clears his lines after a solid from italy. england come again, through and, but again a lack of accuracy snaps the momentum. youngs on the loop and botha shows the hands of a tin man, popping the ball forward. turnover ball and burton inexplicably kicks it away... ... england nick it back and here goes palmer on a charge. the ball is flung left again but pass to croft doesn't find its mark - italy. 1 min kris burton gets us under way and there's the first blast of the whistle from french referee jerome garces, england penalty. hartley towels down the ball and finds his man at the before youngs kicks the ball away. under a high one and he dummies and goes. youngs takes his eye off it, the ball skips through his legs from the back of a ruck and italy nick it... 1545: this takes some filling but it looks like they've given it a good shot - it's positively brimming. it was in this very stadium, of course, that we were first treated to the whitbread "wiggle", back at the athletics world champs in 1987. ashton will have that in the old memory bank, surely? bit of gladiator being belted out and here come the anthems. bbc sport website's chief sportswriter tom fordyce: "blower update (it's what twitter was made for): of pitch cleared in 10min. with to start, on track for a roman miracle." 1540: i must report the pitch looks like a right old patchwork quilt of a mess - blocks of white next to blocks of green, a little bit cubist. phil retains his place at number eight for england today despite an iffy first game last week. before that debut, young joked he'd been "a saxon since the crusades began". i believe that album came out in 1984, so that's a very long time. italy performance director carlo checchinato: "i think the guys have shown over the last match and the last few years that they are at a very good standard. every time we play we have a chance to win and today i think we have a better chance even if england are very strong. i think and i hope the guys will play one of the matches of their lives to get this victory." 1536: i fancy italy to win this - new coach, new hope; experienced side; big question marks remain over england. the by three? i wouldn't bet against it... 1533: we're off, tv-wise. ongoing problems with my live text, alas - we've got our best men and women on it. let's not try to get too down about it - in times like this, best to remember many of your grandparents had more pressing things on their minds at your age, like which grade of coal they were likely to have for dinner. it does raise a philosophical question though: does my live text exist if you are unable to see it? 1521: jonathan, london: "so excited about the italy game - lancaster has made the right decision to keep faith with his new recruits. i am cooking a full english breakfast for and inviting my italian friends round." 1526: veteran lock marco has been promoted from the bench for italy and wins his cap in place of cornelius van zyl. the only other change from the side beaten by france is centre gonzalo canale in for alberto sgarbi. the italian starting have a combined total of 698 caps to england's 248. from marlon fernandez: "italy will give a tough game, they really improved last year and will give a fight at their home stadium." get involved via bbc reporter sonja in rome: "brief exchange with dave as i walked along the touchline. he says 'it's not the best' underfoot on the pitch." 1518: team italy: masi, venditti, benvenuti, canale, mclean, burton, gori; lo cicero, ghiraldini,, geldenhuys,, zanni, barbieri, (capt) replacements: d'apice, cittadini, pavanello, bergamasco, semenzato,, england:, ashton, barritt, farrell,, hodgson, youngs;, cole, hartley, botha, palmer, croft , (capt), replacements: webber, stevens,, morgan, dickson,, brown 1514: some remarkable stats from last weekend's match between scotland and england - stuart men managed only 72 passes to scotland's 238, but somehow still managed to win. meanwhile, italy's new coach jacques has promised a more expansive game, and it certainly looked that way in their brave defeat by france. i'm not going to lie to you, we're having a few technical problems at the moment - i beseech you to remain patient. 1501: just seen a couple of photos from rome and the are out in force with their big red shovels, clearing snow from the pitch. it looks seriously baltic over there, they're all up like scott and oates. it's unlikely to be an expansive affair at the - england wings and ashton might as well take to the field in mittens. scratch that, one suspects they might as well not take to the field at all. italy have pushed england close in rome on the last two occasions, losing in 2008 and in 2010. could this be italy's year after 17 attempts since 1991? 1455: alright? yeh, fine thanks. the second weekend of the 2012 six nations championship and first up it's italy v england in rome. the are playing a six nations game at the for the first time, which might be intimidating for the english - if it's full. snow in rome but news filtering through that it's set to stop an hour before the start of play (1600) and they'll be spraying the lines orange or some such. the build-up kicks off on the telly on bbc one from 1530.	baɪ bɛn 2030: təˈmɑˌroʊ wiv gɑt weɪlz vi ˈskɑtlənd, wɪθ lɪv ˌtɛləˈvɪʒən, ˈreɪdiˌoʊ ənd ˈɔnˌlaɪn ˈkəvərɪʤ. weɪlz wɪl bi ˈhoʊpɪŋ tɪ wɪn ənd kənˈvɪnsɪŋli ɪˈnəf tɪ goʊ tɔp əv ðə ˈteɪbəl, ˈskɑtlənd tɪ gɪt ðɛr kæmˈpeɪn əp ənd ˈrənɪŋ ənd ˈjuˈɛs? wi ʤɪst wɔnt tɪ si səm mɔr ˈrəgbi. ənˈtɪl ðɛn, gʊd ˈivnɪŋ. ˌbibiˈsi spɔrts krɪs æt steɪd də fræns: "ɑr rɪˈpɔrtər ʤɪl ˈdəgləs wɑz ɪn ðə ˈtənəl wɪθ ðə fræns pleɪərz wɪn ðeɪ hərd ðə mæʧ wɑz kɔld ɔf.

remember that from ‘malcolm’? what a life for you!’” with the support of his girfriend, page price, muniz has been able to track experiences in a journal. “she’s amazing. she literally writes because i get sad at the thought of losing the memories,” muniz said. “so she writes in a journal that i can look at every day and really cool, because it has amazing detail. ... awesome. very supportive. i hope we have a lot more memories (together).”	ˈpəblɪʃt: ˈwɛnzˌdeɪ, ɑkˈtoʊbər 11 2017 piɛm waɪl ˈspikɪŋ ˈdʊrɪŋ ə ˌsɛgˈmɛnt fər wɪθ ðə stars”” ˈmənˌdeɪ, ˈæktər mˈjunɪz rɪˈvild hɪz ˈstrəgəl wɪθ ˈmɛməri lɔs. ˈpipəl ˌriˈpɔrtəd ðət ðə θim fər ðə səˈlɛbrɪti ˈdænsɪŋ ˌkɑmpəˈtɪʃən ʃoʊ wɑz moʊst ˈmɛmərəbəl year.”.” fər mˈjunɪz, ˌhaʊˈɛvər, hɪz pæst hɛlθ ˈɪʃuz meɪ hæv kənˈtrɪbjutɪd tɪ hɪz ˈlɔŋˈtərm ˈmɛməri lɔs. rɛd mɔr ˈtrɛndɪŋ nuz ɪn ə ˌsɛgˈmɛnt ˌbiˈfɔr wɪθ ˈpɑrtnər ˈkɑrzən, mˈjunɪz sɛd hi rɪˈmɛmbər moʊst θɪŋz ɪn hɪz laɪf, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ˈstɑrɪŋ ɔn ðə ˈkɑmədi ɪn ðə middle”” frəm 2000 tɪ 2006 ˌɛnərˈteɪnmənt ˈwikli ˌriˈpɔrtəd. meɪks mi ə ˈlɪtəl sad,”,” mˈjunɪz sɛd ɪn ðə ˌsɛgˈmɛnt. pɑp bæk ˈɪntu maɪ maɪnd (ðət) aɪ ʃʊd hæv remembered.”.” mˈjunɪz sɛd ɔn ðə ʃoʊ hi ʃʊr əˈbaʊt haʊ hɪz ˈmɛməri lɔs bɪˈgæn. hæv hæd naɪn kənˈkəʃənz ənd hæd ə fɛr əˈmaʊnt əv mini-strokes,”,” hi sɛd. nɑt seɪɪŋ ðoʊz θɪŋz ˈkɔrəˌleɪt ɪgˈzæktli tɪ ðə ˈrizən waɪ maɪ nɑt great.”.” ɪn 2012 mˈjunɪz hæd hɪz fərst mini-stroke, ər ˈtrænʒənt əˈtæk, ənd bləd səˈplaɪ ˌtɛmpərˈɛrəli kət ɔf frəm hɪz breɪn. hi θɪŋks hæd əˈbaʊt 15 əv ðɛm æt ˈvɛriɪŋ pɔɪnts ənd əv ˈvɛriɪŋ lɛŋθs. nən hæv hæd ˈlæstɪŋ ˈifɛkts, ˈpipəl ˌriˈpɔrtəd. ˈsəmθɪŋ ðət aɪ ˈnɛvər ˈrɪli ˈwɔntɪd tɪ tɔk əˈbaʊt, bɪˈkəz ʤɪst mi ənd ðɪs ɪz maɪ life,”,” hi toʊld ˈpipəl. wi wər ˈtɔkɪŋ əˈbaʊt ‘‘malcolm’’ ənd haʊ ɪt ˈstɑrtɪd, ənd aɪ ˈrɪli hæv ˈmɛməriz əv biɪŋ ɔn ðə show.”.” ðə pæst 10 jɪrz, maɪ mɑm wɪl brɪŋ əp θɪŋz laɪk trɪps wi wɛnt ɔn ər bɪg ɪˈvɛnts ənd ðeɪ ər nu ˈstɔriz tɪ me,”,” hi toʊld ˈpipəl. noʊ wət ðə kɔz əv ɪt ɪz. nɑt ˈsəmθɪŋ aɪ lʊkt ˈɪntu, aɪ ʤɪst θɔt ɪt wɑz haʊ maɪ breɪn ɪz, soʊ aɪ θɔt ɪt wɑz ˈnɔrməl. aɪ noʊ aɪ ʃʊd rɪˈmɛmbər goʊɪŋ tɪ ðə ˈɛmiz wɪn aɪ wɑz younger.”.” mˈjunɪz toʊld ˈpipəl hi sin ˈdɑktərz əˈbaʊt ðə ˈmɛməri lɔs. nɑt ə ˈdɔktər person,”,” hi sɛd. taɪm aɪ goʊ tɪ ðə ˈdɑktərz ðeɪ ʤɪst tɛl mi crazy.”.” braɪən ˈkrænstən, hu pleɪd ˈfɑðər ɔn ““malcolm,”,” sɛd ɪn ðə ˌsɛgˈmɛnt ðət hɪz ˈfɔrmər ˈkoʊstɑr nid tɪ ˈwəri əˈbaʊt rɪˈmɛmbərɪŋ oʊld taɪmz. toʊld ɪm nɑt tɪ ˈwəri əˈbaʊt wət ju rɪˈmɛmbər ənd wət ju remember,”,” sɛd ˈkrænstən, 61 stɪl jʊr ɪkˈspɪriənsɪz. ðət wɪl bi maɪ ʤɑb. aɪ wɪl tɛl ɪm, ðɪs?

why does my comfort make you mad? courtesy of when i go home in a few days, i plan to celebrate the holidays time with family, catching up on some reading, seeing old friends, that sort of thing. i had anticipated doing much of this in pajamas or similar leisure clothes, often with a cup of something tasty in hand, sometimes even with my reading glasses on. is that strange? if the bizarre conservative reaction to a new ad is any indication, basically a traitor for hoping to hang out with my mom for a bit before bed. whatever happened to family values? these there are not just offended by the notion of a relatively modest, system designed to help people of differing levels of economic privilege gain access to health care. what really gets them, apparently, is the fact that there exist young, somewhat men who enjoy being comfortable. at least i think what the problem is, based on descriptions likeinfantilized man-child,”metrosexual hipster in a plaid onesie,” and reactions likeliberals fear masculinity and maturity.” hey, that may be, but i bet the mountain understudy who that last bit of analysis would be shaking in his boots at the sight of the bedtime sported by some of the more bearish men of my acquaintance. but i digress. fascinating how much biographical information aboutpajama boy” commentators have gleaned from a single image of the guy. according to charles cooke of the national review, a member of thequeer students association” where he takes part in ’dialogue’ about the evils of ‘heteronormativity’ or ‘micro-aggressions,’ the pressing necessity of ‘safe spaces,’ and the vital importance of whatever other buzzwords the comically hopeless students at oberlin, hampshire, and brown are talking about these days.” did obama tweet out his college syllabus as well? i mean, that seems like a lot to assume from a bedclothes, but hey, not as schooled in the old conservative christmas tradition of gay as cooke seems to be. considering that cooke flirts with both sebastian and oscar wilde in the course of his panic attack about avaguely androgynous” stock photo, intriguing that he chose to title his articlepajama boy: the obama id.” i would agree that ids are being uncovered in this dust-up, but it is not theobama” that seems most exposed to my eye. indeed, if liberals are afraid of masculinity, conservatives (of this sort) seem downright terrified of the idea that a more progressive generation is on the that includes many men, gay and straight alike, who do not measure theirmaturity” by something as inane as whether or not they canuse a power tool.” of course, that terror is well-founded, but change really have to be so scary. all those people need to do is slip out of the homophobic, that they currently sleep in, and slip into something a little less ridiculous. then, if lucky, pajama boy might even be willing to cuddle.	waɪ dɪz maɪ ˈkəmfərt meɪk ju mæd?

new delhi, sep 2 (pti): the government is planning to do away with the process of selecting the lowest bidder while acquiring high-tech defence assets, and instead entering into strategic partnership with indian private firms in six critical sectors, defence minister said saturday. the defence ministry committee headed by v.k., a former boss of the defence research & development organisation, which is to recommend guidelines for the six areas, will file its report in three weeks. ”if you select through (lowest bidder), you may end up with someone who is not capable. my aspect of a success is capability of that partner,” told reporters here on the sidelines of a seminar by the federation of indian chambers of commerce & industry. he was replying to a question whether the new policy will also apply to project under which six more conventional submarines are to be built. making it clear that there won't be any repetition, he said, ”if an x group has been taken in as a strategic partner in one segment, it will not be considered for another. it can participate in partnership for other products”. he said once the domestic strategic partner is selected, talks with foreign technology provider or partner will be undertaken to carry out the project. strategic partnership was one of the proposals of the singh committee, which had recommended a slew of steps to ease the defence procurement policy. the committee has experts from banking and chartered accountancy among others. the six critical segments are aircraft and their major systems, warships of stated displacements, submarines and their major systems, fighting vehicles and their major systems, complex weapons that rely on guidance system, (command and control system) and critical materials (special alloys and composites).	nu ˈdɛli, ˈɛˈsiˈpi 2 (pti): ðə ˈgəvərnmənt ɪz ˈplænɪŋ tɪ du əˈweɪ wɪθ ðə ˈprɔˌsɛs əv səˈlɛktɪŋ ðə loʊəst ˈbɪdər waɪl əkˈwaɪərɪŋ ˌhaɪˈtɛk dɪˈfɛns ˈæˌsɛts, ənd ˌɪnˈstɛd ˈɛnərɪŋ ˈɪntu strəˈtiʤɪk ˈpɑrtnərˌʃɪp wɪθ ˈɪndiən ˈpraɪvət fərmz ɪn sɪks ˈkrɪtɪkəl ˈsɛktərz, dɪˈfɛns ˈmɪnɪstər sɛd ˈsæˌtɪˌdeɪ. ðə dɪˈfɛns ˈmɪnɪstri kəˈmɪti ˈhɛdɪd baɪ v.k., ə ˈfɔrmər bɔs əv ðə dɪˈfɛns ˈrisərʧ dɪˈvɛləpmənt ˌɔrgənɪˈzeɪʃən, wɪʧ ɪz tɪ ˌrɛkəˈmɛnd ˈgaɪˌdlaɪnz fər ðə sɪks ˈɛriəz, wɪl faɪl ɪts rɪˈpɔrt ɪn θri wiks. ju səˈlɛkt θru (loʊəst ˈbɪdər), ju meɪ ɛnd əp wɪθ ˈsəmˌwən hu ɪz nɑt ˈkeɪpəbəl. maɪ ˈæˌspɛkt əv ə səkˈsɛs ɪz ˌkeɪpəˈbɪləti əv ðət partner,”,” toʊld rɪˈpɔrtərz hir ɔn ðə ˈsaɪˌdlaɪnz əv ə ˈsɛməˌnɑr baɪ ðə ˌfɛdərˈeɪʃən əv ˈɪndiən ˈʧeɪmbərz əv ˈkɑmərs ˈɪndəstri. hi wɑz rɪˈplaɪɪŋ tɪ ə kˈwɛʃən ˈwɛðər ðə nu ˈpɑləsi wɪl ˈɔlsoʊ əˈplaɪ tɪ ˈprɑʤɛkt ˈəndər wɪʧ sɪks mɔr kənˈvɛnʃənəl ˈsəbmərˌinz ər tɪ bi bɪlt. ˈmeɪkɪŋ ɪt klɪr ðət ðɛr woʊnt bi ˈɛni ˌrɛpəˈtɪʃən, hi sɛd, ən ɛks grup həz bɪn ˈteɪkən ɪn ɛz ə strəˈtiʤɪk ˈpɑrtnər ɪn wən ˌsɛgˈmɛnt, ɪt wɪl nɑt bi kənˈsɪdərd fər əˈnəðər. ɪt kən pɑrˈtɪsəˌpeɪt ɪn ˈpɑrtnərˌʃɪp fər ˈəðər products””. hi sɛd wəns ðə dəˈmɛstɪk strəˈtiʤɪk ˈpɑrtnər ɪz səˈlɛktɪd, tɔks wɪθ ˈfɔrən tɛkˈnɑləʤi prəˈvaɪdər ər ˈpɑrtnər wɪl bi ˈəndərˌteɪkən tɪ ˈkɛri aʊt ðə ˈprɑʤɛkt. strəˈtiʤɪk ˈpɑrtnərˌʃɪp wɑz wən əv ðə prəˈpoʊzəlz əv ðə sɪŋ kəˈmɪti, wɪʧ hæd ˌrɛkəˈmɛndɪd ə slu əv stɛps tɪ iz ðə dɪˈfɛns proʊˈkjʊrmənt ˈpɑləsi. ðə kəˈmɪti həz ˈɛkspərts frəm ˈbæŋkɪŋ ənd ˈʧɑrtərd əˈkaʊntəntˌsi əˈməŋ ˈəðərz. ðə sɪks ˈkrɪtɪkəl ˌsɛgˈmɛnts ər ˈɛrˌkræft ənd ðɛr ˈmeɪʤər ˈsɪstəmz, ˈwɔrˌʃɪps əv ˈsteɪtɪd dɪˈspleɪsmənts, ˈsəbmərˌinz ənd ðɛr ˈmeɪʤər ˈsɪstəmz, ˈfaɪtɪŋ ˈviɪkəlz ənd ðɛr ˈmeɪʤər ˈsɪstəmz, ˈkɑmplɛks ˈwɛpənz ðət rɪˈlaɪ ɔn ˈgaɪdəns ˈsɪstəm, (kəˈmænd ənd kənˈtroʊl ˈsɪstəm) ənd ˈkrɪtɪkəl məˈtɪriəlz (ˈspɛʃəl ˈæˌlɔɪz ənd kəmˈpɑzəts).
almost a year to the date after the’ upset loss to the new jersey institute of technology following a huge win over syracuse, michigan basketball coach john was fully aware his team could be set up for another letdown on saturday. even after a big challenge road win tuesday at north carolina state despite losing junior guard derrick walton jr. to an ankle injury no longer believes in “guarantee” games, especially without one of his key players. luckily for the, houston baptist was no. the turned the ball over 16 times, which led to 23 michigan points, and shot just 43 percent from the floor. it was a far cry from spirited shooting performance (including 11 3-ponters), and houston baptist fell well short of an upset in the loss. “last year, we probably as mentally prepared for that game,” said. “coming off (the syracuse game), we learned our lesson. ... but give them credit, (njit) had a heck of a year. we lost to a really good team.” perhaps more importantly, the the team they were a year ago. some things changed senior guard caris levert, who scored a 32 points in the loss to, led michigan against houston baptist with 25 points and eight rebounds. but this time around, teammates provided more than enough support to pick up a comfortable victory. redshirt sophomore guard duncan robinson continued his hot shooting streak, knocking down five of his nine attempts and finishing the game with 19 points. sophomore guard aubrey dawkins, who has been sharing minutes with robinson early in the season, had a strong shooting performance of his own with 16 points and three triples, making up for two costly traveling calls. the certainly seemed to be playing with a different mindset than they were a year ago, jumping out to an lead to start the game. in its strongest run of the afternoon, houston baptist cut the lead to with remaining in the first half before a levert trey and five straight points from robinson pushed the lead back to 10. with the loss still fresh in the minds of the coaching staff and most of the roster, michigan decided it going to make the same mistake in consecutive seasons. “it was stressed from the time we got off the plane after beating n.c. state,” levert said. “we knew that this was the game we lost year, and we want to have the same feeling coming into it (this year). so we came out and played hard for a full 40 (minutes).” against, the at least had the benefit of presence in the starting lineup, though said he was a “different player” thanks to the toe injury that plagued him most of last season. against houston baptist, because of his latest injury, michigan use walton at all. but the miss him much saturday, thanks to stellar play from levert as the lead guard and some quality minutes from sophomore guard, who scored six points in his 33 minutes, and senior guard spike albrecht, who memorably batted a loose ball toward freshman forward d.j. wilson for a dunk late in the game. abdur-rahkman and albrecht the latter still playing limited minutes as he recovers from two hip surgeries may not have expected to get so much playing time just a week ago, but they were just as focused as anyone on avoiding a repeat of the disaster. “we want to sleep on this team,” said. “we wanted to come out and play like they were a team.”	ˈɔlˌmoʊst ə jɪr tɪ ðə deɪt ˈæftər ðə wolverines’’ ˈəpˌsɛt lɔs tɪ ðə nu ˈʤərzi ˈɪnstɪˌtut əv

just a few short hours after president trump challenged his former hillary clinton to run against him again in three years, clinton shot back by questioning how the president has time to get anything done in between feudingth perceived enemies on twitter and slicing up the back nine. "honestly, between and golfing, how does he get anything done? i understand it," she said, according to the hill. "maybe the whole point." she also claimed that trump is “obsessed”th her repeated claims that her rival only managed to because he had the help of russia, the fbi, email-gate, systemic list goes on. even her own husband broketh her on saturday when, during an interview, former president bill clinton said believed former fbi director james decision to reopen an investigation into her handling of classified information on a private email server just days before the election had little to doth the outcome of the vote, the hill reported. still, hillary clinton was undeterred: "i’m going to keep speaking out," clinton said at an event celebrating the anniversary of former president bill clinton's 1992 electoral victory. "apparently my former opponent is obsessedth me speaking out." since emerging from the woods of chappaqua, new york, where she had retreated following her electoral flop, clinton has tried to position herself as a leader of the “resistance." she has persistently criticized his conduct in office, and repeatedly insisted that the trump campaign purposefully colludedth russian president vladimir putin. on saturday, trump tweeted: crooked hillary clinton is the worst (and biggest) loser of all time. she just stop, which is so good for the republican party. hillary, get onth your life and give it another try in three years! crooked hillary clinton is the worst (and biggest) loser of all time. she just stop, which is so good for the republican party. hillary, get onth your life and give it another try in three years! donald j. trump (@realdonaldtrump) november 18, 2017 p> bill clinton said the decision to reopen the investigation wouldn't have been as damaging had the controversy surrounding her emails not been overblown in the first place. "we have a slight disagreement about this," the former president said, speaking alongside the former secretary of state at an event celebrating the anniversary of his 1992 presidential victory. "if the voters hadn't really been told that the email ... was the most important issue since the end of world war ii, i doubt if the fbi director could have flung the election at the end." clinton won the popular vote by 3 million votes, though trump has disputed this figure by insisting that millions of illegal immigrants likely voted to help their preferred candidate. yet trump dominated the electoral college, sweeping swing states in the midwest and south, and smashing through the democrats famed “wall of blue.”	ʤɪst ə fju ʃɔrt aʊərz ˈæftər ˈprɛzɪdənt trəmp ˈʧælənʤd hɪz ˈfɔrmər ˈhɪləri ˈklɪntən tɪ rən əˈgɛnst ɪm əˈgɛn ɪn θri jɪrz, ˈklɪntən ʃɑt bæk baɪ kˈwɛsʧənɪŋ haʊ ðə ˈprɛzɪdənt həz taɪm tɪ gɪt ˈɛniˌθɪŋ dən ɪn bɪtˈwin fˈjudɪŋ wɪθ pərˈsivd ˈɛnəmiz ɔn tˈwɪtər ənd sˈlaɪsɪŋ əp ðə bæk naɪn.

just announced on the treasury department blog... today, the united states has reached the statutory debt limit. secretary sent the following letter to congress this morning alerting them to actions that have be taken to create additional headroom under the debt limit so that treasury can continue funding obligations made by congresses past and present. the secretary declared a "debt issuance suspension period" for the civil service retirement and disability fund, permitting treasury to redeem a portion of existing treasury securities held by that fund as investments and suspend issuance of new treasury securities to that fund as investments. he also suspended the daily reinvestment of treasury securities held as investments by the government securities investment fund of the federal employees' retirement system thrift savings plan. for more information on these measures, please read this faq. last friday, secretary also responded to an inquiry from senator bennet regarding the fiscal and economic consequences of failing to increase the debt limit. that letter can be found here. secretary continues to urge congress to raise the debt limit in a timely manner in order to uphold the full faith and credit of the united states. the treasury has said these emergency measures will get the government through august 2, at which point it could get really dicey, with the prospect of default having been put on the table. as we've argued, there's probably very little chance of default, as the treasury has room to cut discretionary spending before cutting interest payments. read the full blog post >	ʤɪst əˈnaʊnst ɔn ðə ˈtrɛʒəri dɪˈpɑrtmənt blɔg... təˈdeɪ, ðə juˈnaɪtɪd steɪts həz riʧt ðə ˈstæʧəˌtɔri dɛt ˈlɪmət. ˈsɛkrəˌtɛri sɛnt ðə ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ˈlɛtər tɪ ˈkɑŋgrəs ðɪs ˈmɔrnɪŋ əˈlərtɪŋ ðɛm tɪ ˈækʃənz ðət hæv bi ˈteɪkən tɪ kriˈeɪt əˈdɪʃənəl ˈhɛˌdrum ˈəndər ðə dɛt ˈlɪmət soʊ ðət ˈtrɛʒəri kən kənˈtɪnju ˈfəndɪŋ ˌɑbləˈgeɪʃənz meɪd baɪ ˈkɑŋgrəsɪz pæst ənd ˈprɛzənt. ðə ˈsɛkrəˌtɛri dɪˈklɛrd ə "dɛt ˈɪʃuəns səˈspɛnʃən ˈpɪriəd" fər ðə ˈsɪvəl ˈsərvɪs rɪˈtaɪərmənt ənd ˌdɪsəˈbɪlɪti fənd, pərˈmɪtɪŋ ˈtrɛʒəri tɪ rɪˈdim ə ˈpɔrʃən əv ɪgˈzɪstɪŋ ˈtrɛʒəri sɪˈkjʊrətiz hɛld baɪ ðət fənd ɛz ˌɪnˈvɛstmənts ənd səˈspɛnd ˈɪʃuəns əv nu ˈtrɛʒəri sɪˈkjʊrətiz tɪ ðət fənd ɛz ˌɪnˈvɛstmənts. hi ˈɔlsoʊ səˈspɛndɪd ðə ˈdeɪli ˌriɪnˈvɛstmənt əv ˈtrɛʒəri sɪˈkjʊrətiz hɛld ɛz ˌɪnˈvɛstmənts baɪ ðə ˈgəvərnmənt sɪˈkjʊrətiz ˌɪnˈvɛstmənt fənd əv ðə ˈfɛdərəl ɪmˈplɔɪiz' rɪˈtaɪərmənt ˈsɪstəm θrɪft ˈseɪvɪŋz plæn. fər mɔr ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən ɔn ðiz ˈmɛʒərz, pliz rɛd ðɪs faq*. læst ˈfraɪˌdeɪ, ˈsɛkrəˌtɛri ˈɔlsoʊ rɪˈspɑndɪd tɪ ən ˌɪnkˈwaɪˌri frəm ˈsɛnətər ˈbɛnɪt rɪˈgɑrdɪŋ ðə ˈfɪskəl ənd ˌɛkəˈnɑmɪk ˈkɑnsəkˌwɛnsəz əv ˈfeɪlɪŋ tɪ ˌɪnˈkris ðə dɛt ˈlɪmət. ðət ˈlɛtər kən bi faʊnd hir. ˈsɛkrəˌtɛri kənˈtɪnjuz tɪ ərʤ ˈkɑŋgrəs tɪ reɪz ðə dɛt ˈlɪmət ɪn ə ˈtaɪmli ˈmænər ɪn ˈɔrdər tɪ əˈphoʊld ðə fʊl feɪθ ənd ˈkrɛdɪt əv ðə juˈnaɪtɪd steɪts. ðə ˈtrɛʒəri həz sɛd ðiz ˈimərʤənsi ˈmɛʒərz wɪl gɪt ðə ˈgəvərnmənt θru ˈɔgəst 2 æt wɪʧ pɔɪnt ɪt kʊd gɪt ˈrɪli ˈdaɪsi, wɪθ ðə ˈprɑspɛkt əv dɪˈfɔlt ˈhævɪŋ bɪn pʊt ɔn ðə ˈteɪbəl. ɛz wiv ˈɑrgjud, ðɛrz ˈprɑbəˌbli ˈvɛri ˈlɪtəl ʧæns əv dɪˈfɔlt, ɛz ðə ˈtrɛʒəri həz rum tɪ kət dɪˈskrɛʃəˌnɛri ˈspɛndɪŋ ˌbiˈfɔr ˈkətɪŋ ˈɪntəˌrɛst ˈpeɪmənts. rɛd ðə fʊl blɔg poʊst
rollercoasterwater’s new single “avey said” takes you on an ethereal journey into the musical subconscious. inspired by a chance encounter with avey of animal collective. following up the premiere of “avey said” is the new sounding fireball, due for release april 15th. the band moves in a new direction new direction on the album, combining a mix of electronic and live instrumentation. rollercoasterwater is a psychedelic pop duo that gets their influences from video game scores, tribal indigenous music and infinite loop duplication. emerging from the outer suburbs of los angeles, the duo united in college with a vision of patterns and hypnotic synths. is two parts: one celestial and lush melodies crafted by chuckie behring, and the other intricate rhythms manipulated by percussive entity robin levy. the pair recently recorded sounding fireball as a progression into a more organic sound with hooks and colorful live drums. story behind “avey said” as told by chuckie behring “on thursday, august 29, 2013 a friend of mine and i opened for avey (dave portner) as at the echo in la. it was my first show at a venue and i was extremely nervous and excited to have such an awesomely random fluke of an opportunity. we arrived for our sound check just as band, slasher flicks, was finishing theirs. after finishing, he immediately walked up to us and introduced himself. he was super nice, and after we finished our sound check, we had a few hours to hang out in the green room with him. while we were chilling in the green room, dave introduced us to his wife angel (formerly of dirty projectors) and we sparked up conversation about everything ranging from their recent marriage to psychedelics. dave started giving us all of this really intensely profound advice about life and what being a successful psychedelic musician in the current music industry is like. him and angel told me a lot of personal stuff i share, but he also told me that i really perform high, and to play as many shows as possible and go on tour in a van or something as much as i can. i know if he realized how much of an impact he made on my 19-year- old mind, but that night is still one of the most awesome nights of my life so far. our performance went super well and the audience was kind of like ‘who the hell are these guys,’ but i think they liked it.” “‘avey said’ was written right after that night and it took me several years to perfect it. i took what he said to heart and the next few years of my life after that night up until now have been a crazy whirlwind of psychedelic artists and involvement in underground movements around la like church of fun and or performing to goat around a fire pit with at ranch and at salvation mountain near salton sea and many other crazy stories. for me, i think it all spurred from this encounter with dave and the advice he gave me. hope you like the song!”	rollercoasterwater’s* nu ˈsɪŋgəl said”” teɪks ju ɔn ən ɪˈθɪriəl

during an announcement of the signing of the so-called “merry christmas bill,” texas gov. rick perry and state senator robert nichols (r-jacksonville) said thursday that freedom from religion was not included in the first amendment of the u.s. constitution. “i’m proud we are standing up for religious freedom in our state,” perry said. “freedom of religion mean freedom from religion.” the new law states that students and school officials have the right to use religious greetings like “merry christmas” and display various religious holiday symbols on school grounds. “i think it was thomas jefferson who said the price of liberty is eternal vigilance,” nichols remarked. “one of those freedoms is the freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and as the governor was saying the constitution refers to the freedom of religion, not the freedom from religion.” “so, challenges to these freedoms that we enjoy can come in a lot of different ways,” the state senator continued. “they can come in very large ways like the war on terror or our freedoms can be taken away in small ways like the removal of a christmas tree from a classroom.” watch video, uploaded to youtube, below:	ˈdʊrɪŋ ən əˈnaʊnsmɛnt əv ðə ˈsaɪnɪŋ əv ðə ˈsoʊˈkɔld ˈkrɪsməs bill,”,” ˈtɛksəs gəv. rɪk ˈpɛri ənd steɪt ˈsɛnətər ˈrɑbərt ˈnɪkəlz (r-jacksonville) sɛd ˈθərzˌdeɪ ðət ˈfridəm frəm rɪˈlɪʤən wɑz nɑt ˌɪnˈkludɪd ɪn ðə fərst əˈmɛndmənt əv ðə juz. ˌkɑnstəˈtuʃən. praʊd wi ər ˈstændɪŋ əp fər rɪˈlɪʤəs ˈfridəm ɪn ɑr state,”,” ˈpɛri sɛd. əv rɪˈlɪʤən min ˈfridəm frəm religion.”.” ðə nu lɔ steɪts ðət ˈstudənts ənd skul əˈfɪʃəlz hæv ðə raɪt tɪ juz rɪˈlɪʤəs ˈgritɪŋz laɪk christmas”” ənd dɪˈspleɪ ˈvɛriəs rɪˈlɪʤəs ˈhɑlɪˌdeɪ ˈsɪmbəlz ɔn skul graʊnz. θɪŋk ɪt wɑz ˈtɑməs ˈʤɛfərsən hu sɛd ðə praɪs əv ˈlɪbərˌti ɪz ɪˈtərnəl vigilance,”,” ˈnɪkəlz rɪˈmɑrkt. əv ðoʊz ˈfridəmz ɪz ðə ˈfridəm əv spiʧ, ˈfridəm əv ɪkˈsprɛʃən, ənd ɛz ðə ˈgəvərnər wɑz seɪɪŋ ðə ˌkɑnstəˈtuʃən rɪˈfərz tɪ ðə ˈfridəm əv rɪˈlɪʤən, nɑt ðə ˈfridəm frəm religion.”.” ““so, ˈʧælənʤɪz tɪ ðiz ˈfridəmz ðət wi ˌɛnˈʤɔɪ kən kəm ɪn ə lɔt əv ˈdɪfərənt ways,”,” ðə steɪt ˈsɛnətər kənˈtɪnjud. kən kəm ɪn ˈvɛri lɑrʤ weɪz laɪk ðə wɔr ɔn ˈtɛrər ər ɑr ˈfridəmz kən bi ˈteɪkən əˈweɪ ɪn smɔl weɪz laɪk ðə rɪˈmuvəl əv ə ˈkrɪsməs tri frəm ə classroom.”.” wɔʧ ˈvɪdioʊ, ˈəˌploʊdɪd tɪ ˈjuˌtub, bɪˈloʊ:

everybody’s invited to my all-male, literary panel! dear writers, congratulations on having a short story accepted for publication in the anthology rusted, lusted, busted: contemporary southern fiction, edited by myself and my good buddy richard head! richard and i, both of us straight nominally christian white males, have put a of work into this anthology, mostly over beers and hot wings at the local tilted kilt while our wives assumed 100% of the burden of watching our kids. now this baby labored over is out and time to party! that’s why hosting an all-male, panel tomorrow at lily white books in mansfield, sc, to celebrate the release and your contributions to it. love it if some of you could come be part of the panel! given the notice, however, along with our inability to compensate you in any way, and our unwillingness to compensate you even if we could, i completely understand that most of you including all our woefully underrepresented contributors who do not identify as heterosexual white men will not be able to participate in this seminal event, except perhaps as late-arriving, paying audience members ($5 at the door). your practically guaranteed disinclination to participate is a shame, because, as the literary gatekeepers for this region, trying to give you a once-in-a-lifetime, opportunity here. but since by design you be able to respond in a timely manner, worry not: already filled the five available panel slots with cutting-edge, straight caucasian male novelists. they agreed to this several weeks ago, actually, when we were all shooting the shit, down on some barbecue and guzzling bourbon at one of monthly cookouts, and the idea for a panel came up. we figured what the hell, do this thing! so just know in good hands. we trust these guys will do a wonderful job representing your experiences whether you can make it or not. as the panel chair, it is my mission to build a diverse program that welcomes and celebrates multiple perspectives. why put this group of white men together. heterogeneous in so much more than the sexual sense, these fine fellows hail from all walks of life, from counties far and wide: some are from the country, while others are from the city. some are academic intellectuals, while others are workers. some are functioning alcoholics, while others are raging alcoholics. you see, the diversity of this panel will be something to behold. even worked tirelessly to ensure that at least one panelist is not a belligerent womanizer. look, i understand some of you in the anthology folks from the disaffected politically correct masses at large will find something to critique about the supposed lack of representation on this panel, as though featuring a white on the one extreme and a white fiscal conservative on the other was not diverse enough. as though featuring a white man with a soul patch alongside a white man with a disheveled beard was not diverse enough. as though featuring five white authors who have novels with cover images of junked pickup trucks in distinct, multifaceted states of rust and decay, set against background landscapes varied as fields and meadows and woodland edges, was not diverse enough. sure, one author scheduled for the panel is an uninhibited misogynist, but i have balanced his by also scheduling a no-frills, old-fashioned, sexist. scoff all you want, but know that trying. with or without you and i understand it will almost certainly be without this is going to be an assemblage like none other, a grand celebration of the written word, an occasion in no way indicative of a problem that has beset the literary world for at least two millennia: white men, and only white men, pontificating at the very same conference table, pulling things from their asses beneath the very same roof, enlightening a rapt audience! look, what more do you want? these privileged gentlemen of diverse western european descent all have women and minor minority characters in their novels, okay? one even has a female protagonist, a complex and artfully manufactured woman whose sense of purpose and derives from the many white male characters she encounters, depends upon, and sleeps with throughout the story. and if that enough, these five white guy novelists, who all happen to have contracts with major publishing houses, unabashedly and carry books by women on their nationwide book tours because they know that women writers depend on them. criticize that, and i say the one wanting to take away voices by taking away the voices of their white heterosexual spokesmen. the real bigot here. we hope to see you in a few hours! if you can make it, please remember to bring cash for the door and to purchase a copy of the anthology in which your work appears, which all the panelists will be signing. thanks in advance for the beer money! sincerely, allen w. peterson, rusted, lusted, busted: contemporary southern fiction	everybody’s* ˌɪnˈvaɪtɪd tɪ maɪ all-male, ˈlɪtərˌɛri ˈpænəl! dɪr ˈraɪtərz, kənˌgræʧəˈleɪʃənz ɔn ˈhævɪŋ ə ʃɔrt ˈstɔri ækˈsɛptɪd fər ˌpəblɪˈkeɪʃən ɪn ðə ænˈθɔləˌʤi ˈrəstɪd, ˈləstɪd, ˈbəstɪd: kənˈtɛmpərˌɛri ˈsəðərn ˈfɪkʃən, ˈɛdɪtɪd baɪ ˌmaɪˈsɛlf ənd maɪ gʊd ˈbədi ˈrɪʧərd hɛd! ˈrɪʧərd ənd aɪ, boʊθ əv ˈjuˈɛs streɪt ˈnɑmənəli ˈkrɪsʧɪn waɪt meɪlz, hæv pʊt ə əv wərk ˈɪntu ðɪs ænˈθɔləˌʤi, ˈmoʊstli ˈoʊvər bɪrz ənd hɑt wɪŋz æt ðə ˈloʊkəl ˈtɪltɪd kɪlt waɪl ɑr waɪvz əˈsumd 100 əv ðə ˈbərdən əv ˈwɑʧɪŋ ɑr kɪdz. naʊ ðɪs ˈbeɪbi ˈleɪbərd ˈoʊvər ɪz aʊt ənd taɪm tɪ ˈpɑrti! waɪ ˈhoʊstɪŋ ən all-male, ˈpænəl təˈmɑˌroʊ æt ˈlɪli waɪt bʊks ɪn ˈmænzˌfild, sc, tɪ ˈsɛləˌbreɪt ðə riˈlis ənd jʊr ˌkɑntrəˈbjuʃənz tɪ ɪt. ləv ɪt ɪf səm əv ju kʊd kəm bi pɑrt əv ðə ˈpænəl! ˈgɪvɪn ðə ˈnoʊtɪs, ˌhaʊˈɛvər, əˈlɔŋ wɪθ ɑr ˌɪnəˈbɪlɪti tɪ ˈkɑmpənˌseɪt ju ɪn ˈɛni weɪ, ənd ɑr ənˈwɪlɪŋnɪs tɪ ˈkɑmpənˌseɪt ju ˈivɪn ɪf wi kʊd, aɪ kəmˈplitli ˌəndərˈstænd ðət moʊst əv ju ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ɔl ɑr ˈwoʊfəli əndərˌrɛprɪˈzɛntɪd kənˈtrɪbjətərz hu du nɑt aɪˈdɛntəˌfaɪ ɛz ˌhɛtəroʊˈsɛkˌʃuəl waɪt mɛn wɪl nɑt bi ˈeɪbəl tɪ pɑrˈtɪsəˌpeɪt ɪn ðɪs ˈsɛmənəl ɪˈvɛnt, ɪkˈsɛpt pərˈhæps ɛz late-arriving, peɪɪŋ ˈɔdiəns ˈmɛmbərz 5 æt ðə dɔr). jʊr ˈpræktɪkəli ˌgɛrənˈtid dɪsɪnkləˈneɪʃən tɪ pɑrˈtɪsəˌpeɪt ɪz ə ʃeɪm, bɪˈkəz, ɛz ðə ˈlɪtərˌɛri ˈgeɪtˌkipərz fər ðɪs ˈriʤən, traɪɪŋ tɪ gɪv ju ə once-in-a-lifetime, ˌɑpərˈtunəti hir. bət sɪns baɪ dɪˈzaɪn ju bi ˈeɪbəl tɪ rɪˈspɑnd ɪn ə ˈtaɪmli ˈmænər, ˈwəri nɑt: ɔˈrɛdi fɪld ðə faɪv əˈveɪləbəl ˈpænəl slɑts wɪθ ˈkətɪˌŋɛʤ, streɪt kɔˈkeɪʒən meɪl ˈnɑvələsts. ðeɪ əˈgrid tɪ ðɪs ˈsɛvərəl wiks əˈgoʊ, ˈæˌkʧuəli, wɪn wi wər ɔl ˈʃutɪŋ ðə ʃɪt, daʊn ɔn səm ˈbɑrbɪˌkju ənd ˈgəzəlɪŋ ˈbərbən æt wən əv ˈmənθli ˈkʊˌkaʊts, ənd ðə aɪˈdiə fər ə ˈpænəl keɪm əp. wi ˈfɪgjərd wət ðə hɛl, du ðɪs θɪŋ! soʊ ʤɪst noʊ ɪn gʊd hænz. wi trəst ðiz gaɪz wɪl du ə ˈwəndərfəl ʤɑb ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnɪŋ jʊr ɪkˈspɪriənsɪz ˈwɛðər ju kən meɪk ɪt ər nɑt. ɛz ðə ˈpænəl ʧɛr, ɪt ɪz maɪ ˈmɪʃən tɪ bɪld ə dɪˈvərs ˈproʊˌgræm ðət ˈwɛlkəmz ənd ˈsɛləˌbreɪts ˈməltəpəl pərˈspɛktɪvz. waɪ pʊt ðɪs grup əv waɪt mɛn təˈgɛðər. ˌhɛtərəˈʤinjəs ɪn soʊ məʧ mɔr ðən ðə ˈsɛkʃuəl sɛns, ðiz faɪn ˈfɛloʊz heɪl frəm ɔl wɔks əv laɪf, frəm ˈkaʊntiz fɑr ənd waɪd: səm ər frəm ðə ˈkəntri, waɪl ˈəðərz ər frəm ðə ˈsɪti. səm ər ˌækəˈdɛmɪk ˌɪntəˈlɛkʧuəlz, waɪl ˈəðərz ər ˈwərkərz. səm ər ˈfəŋkʃənɪŋ ˌælkəˈhɑlɪks, waɪl ˈəðərz ər ˈreɪʤɪŋ ˌælkəˈhɑlɪks. ju si, ðə dɪˈvərsɪti əv ðɪs ˈpænəl wɪl bi ˈsəmθɪŋ tɪ bɪˈhoʊld. ˈivɪn wərkt ˈtaɪrləsli tɪ ɪnˈʃʊr ðət æt list wən ˈpænələst ɪz nɑt ə bəˈlɪʤərənt ˈwʊməˌnaɪzər. lʊk, aɪ ˌəndərˈstænd səm əv ju ɪn ðə ænˈθɔləˌʤi foʊks frəm ðə ˌdɪsəˈfɛktɪd ˈplɪtɪkli kərˈɛkt ˈmæsɪz æt lɑrʤ wɪl faɪnd ˈsəmθɪŋ tɪ krɪˈtik əˈbaʊt ðə səˈpoʊzd læk əv ˌrɛprəzɛnˈteɪʃən ɔn ðɪs ˈpænəl, ɛz ðoʊ ˈfiʧərɪŋ ə waɪt ɔn ðə wən ɪkˈstrim ənd ə waɪt ˈfɪskəl kənˈsərvətɪv ɔn ðə ˈəðər wɑz nɑt dɪˈvərs ɪˈnəf. ɛz ðoʊ ˈfiʧərɪŋ ə waɪt mæn wɪθ ə soʊl pæʧ əˈlɔŋˈsaɪd ə waɪt mæn wɪθ ə dɪˈʃɛvəld bɪrd wɑz nɑt dɪˈvərs ɪˈnəf. ɛz ðoʊ ˈfiʧərɪŋ faɪv waɪt ˈɔθərz hu hæv ˈnɑvəlz wɪθ ˈkəvər ˈɪmɪʤɪz əv ʤəŋkt ˈpɪˌkəp trəks ɪn dɪˈstɪŋkt, ˌməltiˈfæsətɪd steɪts əv rəst ənd dɪˈkeɪ, sɛt əˈgɛnst ˈbækˌgraʊnd ˈlænˌskeɪps ˈvɛrid ɛz fildz ənd ˈmɛˌdoʊz ənd ˈwʊˌdlænd ˈɛʤɪz, wɑz nɑt dɪˈvərs ɪˈnəf. ʃʊr, wən ˈɔθər ˈskɛʤʊld fər ðə ˈpænəl ɪz ən ˌənɪnˈhɪbɪtɪd ˈmɪzəʤɪnɪst, bət aɪ hæv ˈbælənst hɪz baɪ ˈɔlsoʊ ˈskɛʤʊlɪŋ ə no-frills, ˌoʊldˈfæʃənd, ˈsɛksɪst. skɔf ɔl ju wɔnt, bət noʊ ðət traɪɪŋ. wɪθ ər wɪˈθaʊt ju ənd aɪ ˌəndərˈstænd ɪt wɪl ˈɔlˌmoʊst ˈsərtənli bi wɪˈθaʊt ðɪs ɪz goʊɪŋ tɪ bi ən əˈsɛmblɪʤ laɪk nən ˈəðər, ə grænd ˌsɛləˈbreɪʃən əv ðə ˈrɪtən wərd, ən əˈkeɪʒən ɪn noʊ weɪ ˌɪnˈdɪkətɪv əv ə ˈprɑbləm ðət həz bɪˈsɛt ðə ˈlɪtərˌɛri wərld fər æt list tu məˈlɛniə: waɪt mɛn, ənd ˈoʊnli waɪt mɛn, pɑnˈtɪfəˌkeɪtɪŋ æt ðə ˈvɛri seɪm ˈkɑnfərəns ˈteɪbəl, ˈpʊlɪŋ θɪŋz frəm ðɛr ˈæsəz bɪˈniθ ðə ˈvɛri seɪm rʊf, ˌɛnˈlaɪtənɪŋ ə ræpt ˈɔdiəns! lʊk, wət mɔr du ju wɔnt?

in 1996, while most major british bands were blowing their royalties on cocaine, light aircraft, patsy and hampstead piles, did something quite different. they spent a big chunk of what earned on building an entirely new studio and filled it with a variety of exotic types of pricey, abstract and futuristic devices. at a time when their contemporaries were just whacking the boss super overdrive through the rat pedal and getting on with it, they were obsessed with chasing a rainbow of sounds no-one had ever heard before. it drove them to the edge of madness, and built ‘ok computer’. ten years later, making ‘in rainbows’, they were again pushing their talents to the limit in pursuit of innovation. in this case, that meant greenwood at one point going away to write an entire piece of software that would allow them to control various sound modules they wanted to use. spent several weeks with his hat on, working on it. it was a level of that led thom yorke to claim that he entirely sure the group could make it through another album cycle unless they changed their mo. so they did. ‘king of limbs’ was built specifically to find a unique third way between being an electronic act (programming sequencers) and being a rock band (chopping out chord progressions) one that ultimately involved them sampling their own playing, then mixing it into new compositions. radiohead have spent a good deal of their lives banging their heads against a series of sonic brick walls in search of something better. a reminder that innovation often glamorous. it a switch you press. no-one steps into the innovator 3000 and sets the dial for. it is an endless onward trudge into the unknown that involves a hundred blind alleys and tedious cul-de-sacs. it has taken a man as and neurotic as thom yorke, and a guy as rigidly disciplined as greenwood, to make the ‘pablo honey’ into a group who have shaped and reshaped the history of rock on at least three separate occasions. considering the way that they have pushed music forward, you could build a case for them as the beatles of the century. after all, more than anyone still cutting it, challenged precisely what it is to sound like a huge mainstream act. just look at ‘king of limbs’: probably the most eagerly anticipated record in history and one that consisted mainly of wispy, fractal rhythm patterns and diaphanous swirls of electric noise. while the surface world of was swept along on the strokes for a decade, the disciples of ‘ok computer’ and ‘kid a’ were quietly laying a new foundation for-century music; one that cared not for genre boxes but expected experimentation from artists as standard. as if it enough that their first incarnation had inspired muse, and elbow and their later minimalist electronic had fathered a whole host of followers such as foals, and,’s exploratory modernist mentality is now the norm, from future islands to the to to james blake and way, way beyond. but also been our beatles in the way caused all the of the biz and stardom to warp and fold beneath their massive cultural gravity. the beatles had apple corp, psychedelic feature films, writing all your own songs, the pop concept album, and pollination. have given us one of the first recorded instances of streaming (via as far back as ‘kid a’); the scotch mist webcasts; apps like polyfauna, designed to explore the between art, tech and music; and the ‘newspaper album’ on ‘king of limbs’ not to mention rewiring the music industry with the scheme for ‘in rainbows’, their own social network, and any number of videos from ‘just’ to ‘house of cards’, in which lasers rotating and shooting in a radius produced all the exterior scenes”. sharethrough (mobile) nowadays, everyone from beyoncé to bowie has dropped secret albums that been working on under a thicket of agreements. artists have been bitching about their record labels since thomas edison first put a stylus on a wax cylinder. but have been much better than most at finding interesting ways to cut through all the crap. if cobain was a teenage whine against corporate rock whores, they are a more mature, wily response; for an independence that just about the refusenik ideals of keeping it real in the back of a van with henry rollins. one more about feeling free to use the full weight of the system to make it do what you want, and which involves making a concept of that feel aggressively artsy, like it might with a byrne or an eno. the natural tension between the scale of their popularity and the modest limits of their lust for glory has always made them a subversive proposition. in 2000, they stood at the peak of their commercial potential. how did they on it? they refused to release any singles from ‘kid a’, an album of soupy electronica. then they toured the country in a white, marquee because thom had read naomi classic no logo. thom has pushed into more interesting and satisfying spaces. he has become a standard-bearer for a generation suspicious of big, sentiment. a very-century kind of politicking somewhere between russell ‘don’t vote’ nihilism and the kind of community ethic you might spot on portlandia. they are a reflection of how, unlike our parents’ generation, who waved the flag and bashed the barricades, getting the powers that be to change the world is often not as helpful or fulfilling as making your own change where you can. just as the beatles came to embody the ’60s, thom yorke is the rock star who most clearly reflects our times. two decades ago, he looked into the future and it him out. what he saw crushed him under the weight of its haste, its twisted logic, its avalanche of prescription meds, its technological shrinking of life and society until never alone but always alone. he articulated something that spoke to the way we live now, demonstrated an uncomfortable angst that connects muse (at first widely dismissed as ‘radiohead copyists’) with bloc party, everything everything with burial. they even cut old-school tracks with no less a luddite than jack white. just one more from a band who only seem to find their balance when throwing everyone else off theirs.	ɪn 1996 waɪl moʊst ˈmeɪʤər ˈbrɪtɪʃ bændz wər bloʊɪŋ ðɛr ˈrɔɪəltiz ɔn koʊˈkeɪn, laɪt ˈɛrˌkræft, ˈpætsi ənd ˈhæmpˌstɛd paɪlz, dɪd ˈsəmθɪŋ kwaɪt ˈdɪfərənt. ðeɪ spɛnt ə bɪg ʧəŋk əv wət ərnd ɔn ˈbɪldɪŋ ən ɪnˈtaɪərli nu ˈstudiˌoʊ ənd fɪld ɪt wɪθ ə vərˈaɪəti əv ɪgˈzɑtɪk taɪps əv ˈpraɪsi, ˈæbˌstrækt ənd fˌjuʧərˈɪstɪk dɪˈvaɪsɪz. æt ə taɪm wɪn ðɛr kənˈtɛmpərˌɛriz wər ʤɪst ˈwækɪŋ ðə bɔs ˈsupər ˈoʊvərˌdraɪv θru ðə ræt ˈpɛdəl ənd ˈgɪtɪŋ ɔn wɪθ ɪt, ðeɪ wər əbˈsɛst wɪθ ˈʧeɪsɪŋ ə ˈreɪnˌboʊ əv saʊnz ˈnoʊwən hæd ˈɛvər hərd ˌbiˈfɔr. ɪt droʊv ðɛm tɪ ðə ɛʤ əv ˈmædnəs, ənd bɪlt computer’’. tɛn jɪrz ˈleɪtər, ˈmeɪkɪŋ rainbows’’, ðeɪ wər əˈgɛn ˈpʊʃɪŋ ðɛr ˈtælənts tɪ ðə ˈlɪmət ɪn pərˈsut əv ˌɪnəˈveɪʃən. ɪn ðɪs keɪs, ðət mɛnt ˈgrinˌwʊd æt wən pɔɪnt goʊɪŋ əˈweɪ tɪ raɪt ən ɪnˈtaɪər pis əv ˈsɔfˌwɛr ðət wʊd əˈlaʊ ðɛm tɪ kənˈtroʊl ˈvɛriəs saʊnd ˈmɑʤulz ðeɪ ˈwɔntɪd tɪ juz. spɛnt ˈsɛvərəl wiks wɪθ hɪz hæt ɔn, ˈwərkɪŋ ɔn ɪt. ɪt wɑz ə ˈlɛvəl əv ðət lɛd tɑm jɔrk tɪ kleɪm ðət hi ɪnˈtaɪərli ʃʊr ðə grup kʊd meɪk ɪt θru əˈnəðər ˈælbəm ˈsaɪkəl ənˈlɛs ðeɪ ʧeɪnʤd ðɛr moʊ. soʊ ðeɪ dɪd. əv limbs’’ wɑz bɪlt spəˈsɪfɪkli tɪ faɪnd ə juˈnik θərd weɪ bɪtˈwin biɪŋ ən ˌɪˌlɛkˈtrɑnɪk ækt (ˈproʊˌgræmɪŋ sequencers) ənd biɪŋ ə rɑk bænd (ˈʧɑpɪŋ aʊt kɔrd progressions) wən ðət ˈəltəmətli ˌɪnˈvɑlvd ðɛm ˈsæmplɪŋ ðɛr oʊn pleɪɪŋ, ðɛn ˈmɪksɪŋ ɪt ˈɪntu nu ˌkɑmpəˈzɪʃənz. hæv spɛnt ə gʊd dil əv ðɛr lɪvz ˈbæŋɪŋ ðɛr hɛdz əˈgɛnst ə ˈsɪriz əv ˈsɑnɪk brɪk wɔlz ɪn sərʧ əv ˈsəmθɪŋ ˈbɛtər. ə riˈmaɪndər ðət ˌɪnəˈveɪʃən ˈɔfən ˈglæmərəs. ɪt ə swɪʧ ju prɛs. ˈnoʊwən stɛps ˈɪntu ðə ˈɪnəˌveɪtər 3000 ənd sɛts ðə daɪəl fər ɪt ɪz ən ˈɛndləs ˈɔnwərd trəʤ ˈɪntu ðə ənˈnoʊn ðət ˌɪnˈvɑlvz ə ˈhənərd blaɪnd ˈæliz ənd ˈtidiəs cul-de-sacs. ɪt həz ˈteɪkən ə mæn ɛz ənd nʊˈrɑtɪk ɛz tɑm jɔrk, ənd ə gaɪ ɛz ˈrɪʤɪdli ˈdɪsəplənd ɛz ˈgrinˌwʊd, tɪ meɪk ðə honey’’ ˈɪntu ə grup hu hæv ʃeɪpt ənd riˈʃeɪpt ðə ˈhɪstəri əv rɑk ɔn æt list θri ˈsɛpərˌeɪt ɔˈkeɪʒənz. kənˈsɪdərɪŋ ðə weɪ ðət ðeɪ hæv pʊʃt mˈjuzɪk ˈfɔrwərd, ju kʊd bɪld ə keɪs fər ðɛm ɛz ðə ˈbitəlz əv ðə ˈsɛnʧəri. ˈæftər ɔl, mɔr ðən ˈɛniˌwən stɪl ˈkətɪŋ ɪt, ˈʧælənʤd prɪˈsaɪsli wət ɪt ɪz tɪ saʊnd laɪk ə juʤ ˈmeɪnˌstrim ækt. ʤɪst lʊk æt əv limbs’’: ˈprɑbəˌbli ðə moʊst ˈigərli ænˈtɪsəˌpeɪtɪd ˈrɛkərd ɪn ˈhɪstəri ənd wən ðət kənˈsɪstɪd ˈmeɪnli əv ˈwɪspi, ˈfræktəl ˈrɪðəm ˈpætərnz ənd daɪˈæfənɪs swərlz əv ɪˈlɛktrɪk nɔɪz. waɪl ðə ˈsərfəs wərld əv wɑz swɛpt əˈlɔŋ ɔn ðə stroʊks fər ə ˈdɛkeɪd, ðə dɪˈsaɪpəlz əv computer’’ ənd a’’ wər kˈwaɪətli leɪɪŋ ə nu faʊnˈdeɪʃən fər mˈjuzɪk;

the young man in the blue seen in pictures smashing police cars during violent protests in baltimore has a name and a family. he is allen bullock. he voluntarily surrendered to police, only to be held on half a million dollars' bail, an amount his parents say is "ridiculous." bullock, 18, is charged with eight counts, including rioting and malicious destruction of property all of them misdemeanors after he showed up with his stepfather at the baltimore city juvenile justice center. his stepfather, maurice hawkins, told the british newspaper the guardian that bullock agreed to surrender because the police would "find him, knock down our door and beat him." "by turning himself in, he also let me know he was growing as a man and he recognized what he did was wrong," said hawkins, who said he confronted his stepson after seeing him on tv during demonstrations saturday. "it is just so much money," bullock's mom, bobbi smallwood, told the newspaper. "who could afford to pay that?" smallwood said authorities were "going about this the wrong way," adding: "just destroying stuff for nothing? i think that's ridiculous." f. michael higginbotham, a law professor at the university of baltimore, agreed. "i think that that goes to continuing strained relations," higginbotham told nbc station of baltimore. "we need to take a step back and say, ok, how do we go forward from here? what is the way to improve relations, not exacerbate it?" he said. "i think these high bail amounts will exacerbate it." the baltimore state's attorney's office wouldn't discuss the specifics of bullock's case. but it said that with violence still possible two large protests over the death of freddie gray, an african-american man who died in police custody, are planned for this weekend authorities don't want to release the most violent demonstrators back onto the street. in-depth social — m. alex johnson	ðə jəŋ mæn ɪn ðə blu sin ɪn ˈpɪkʧərz sˈmæʃɪŋ pəˈlis kɑz ˈdʊrɪŋ ˈvaɪələnt ˈproʊˌtɛsts ɪn ˈbɔltəˌmɔr həz ə neɪm ənd ə ˈfæməli. hi ɪz ˈælən ˈbʊlək. hi ˌvɑlənˈtɛrəli sərˈɛndərd tɪ pəˈlis, ˈoʊnli tɪ bi hɛld ɔn hæf ə ˈmɪljən ˈdɔlərz' beɪl, ən əˈmaʊnt hɪz ˈpɛrənts seɪ ɪz "rɪˈdɪkjələs." ˈbʊlək, 18 ɪz ʧɑrʤd wɪθ eɪt kaʊnts, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ˈraɪətɪŋ ənd məˈlɪʃəs dɪˈstrəkʃən əv ˈprɑpərti ɔl əv ðɛm ˌmɪsdəˈminərz ˈæftər hi ʃoʊd əp wɪθ hɪz ˈstɛpˌfɑðər æt ðə ˈbɔltəˌmɔr ˈsɪti ˈʤuvəˌnaɪl ˈʤəstɪs ˈsɛnər. hɪz ˈstɛpˌfɑðər, ˈmɑrɪs ˈhɔkɪnz, toʊld ðə ˈbrɪtɪʃ ˈnuzˌpeɪpər ðə ˈgɑrdiən ðət ˈbʊlək əˈgrid tɪ sərˈɛndər bɪˈkəz ðə pəˈlis wʊd "faɪnd ɪm, nɑk daʊn ɑr dɔr ənd bit ɪm."

new delhi (reuters) - the government dropped a plan on wednesday to reconvene parliament to secure approval for a goods and services tax because it lacks political support, in a new setback to prime minister faltering plans to revamp the economy. finance minister gestures while speaking at an economist conference in new delhi, september 9, 2015. the retreat came as administration has been assuring an increasingly business community that economy can withstand global market turbulence and slowdown. finance minister said the cabinet decided to end the monsoon session of parliament that had been kept alive since last month to allow for consensus on the tax known as. “there was a meeting of the cabinet committee on political affairs. it was decided to recommend the president to the monsoon session. we will keep trying, we are in touch with all political parties,” said. the next opportunity will be in november, making it harder to meet an april 2016 deadline to implement a reform that foreign and domestic companies consider one of the best ways to spur growth. “in truth, not only does the finance hope of introducing the by april 2016 look unrealistic, implementation by april 2017 would be a stretch too,” shah of capital economics said in a research note. the decision follows a series of setbacks. with an important state election looming, modi last month dropped a bill to make it easier for industry to acquire land after the opposition denounced it as anti-farmer. jaitley called for cooperation from other parties to get the tax passed by the april deadline. “it is time for political parties to display some element of statesmanship, particularly when india is trying to emerge as an important economic force,” he said. the government needs opposition support as it lacks a majority in the upper house. ‘massive’ the would replace an array of state and central levies and transform india into a more uniform market. economists estimate that could add up to 2 percentage points to gross domestic product. earlier, at a gathering by the economist newspaper, warned business leaders that delays were possible to a tax that many executives said topped their list of measures they wanted the government to implement. “it’s massive. has to happen,” maeztu, india ceo for swedish retailer ikea, which buys from india but has yet to open any stores. “we cannot lose more time on this.” fifteen months into term, officials are pushing to a sluggish economy, despite rosy official growth figures. the government has argued relatively closed economy offers protection against the turmoil sweeping emerging markets, but india has not been immune. most of the gains in indian stocks since modi took office in may 2014 have been wiped out. jaitley said it was vital to stay on the path of reform and build toward higher growth, which the international monetary fund forecasts at percent this year.	nu ˈdɛli (ˈrɔɪtərz) ðə ˈgəvərnmənt drɑpt ə plæn ɔn ˈwɛnzˌdeɪ tɪ

scott press football is not always about beauty. not just about attacking, brilliant dribbling or gorgeous sweeping moves. also about defending, about getting the balance right, about winning the ball back, about the unglamorous but necessary jobs. this is often a problem for national managers. the players who are hyped are not the grafters. they are the ball players, the forward-surgers, the technical virtuosos, the goalscorers. we have to pick lampard! we have to pick gerrard! we have to pick scholes! we have to pick beckham! we have tactical incoherence. a national manager may find himself with four excellent attackings; the nature of the job. not like club management where he can trade one of them for a holding player. he has to take tough decisions and leave one of them out. roy hodgson, it seems, hopes he can convert jack into a holding player who, with the energy of jordan henderson and fabian delph or james milner alongside him, can provide enough of a defensive shield. perhaps right, but it seems strange he at least called into his squad a holding player who has flourished over the past year. when lee was named north-east sports' writers player of the year for 2014, there was widespread from outside the region. scott press saturday’s performance against chelsea, though, will perhaps convince some of those who have not seen him go from strength to strength under gus poyet. he is a player of great physical courage, as he showed with three superb blocks, but he has also become a player of great discipline and tactical intelligence. with his shorts hitched high, tirelessly patrolling that area in front of the back four, was a key figure in progress to the capital one cup final and their late rally to premier league survival last season. part of’s problem is that his reputation goes before him. he has become the stereotype of the english, the hard man who has outgrown his era. for a time, that reputation was deserved. he had, after all, been sent off five times in the premier league by the age of 22. in the last four years, though, he has been sent off only even that was a highly debatable decision for a slightly misjudged tackle on ahmed elmohamady. matthew images it is true that been booked six times already this season, so perhaps there has been some backsliding, but up to a point cautions are inevitable for a holding who makes tackles. perhaps the change in’s approach is a result of him maturing, but he also seemed to change when playing alongside the albania cana in. cana was an elegant hard man, somebody whose brooding good looks and charismatic seemed to earn him a dispensation denied. that season, cana did his share of the dirty work, leaving to perform a more role. it turned out he was good at it. he was never going to play the long passes cana did, but he could bullet the ball to team-mates, initiating rapid breaks. mike images after cana left in the summer of 2010, seemed to feel the burden of being the destroyer and was sent off in the opening three games of the following season. since then, though, he has cleaned up. according to figures from whoscored.com, averages tackles and interceptions per game; he wins the ball more than all but three other premier leagues. his pass success rate, meanwhile is percent, a highly respectable figure for somebody in his position. it’s hard to see what more has to do: he wins the ball and distributes it simply. he has ceased to be a red card waiting to happen. nobody is pretending he is a holding of the class of javier mascherano, claude or didier deschamps, but then neither was stiles. sometimes a need to look beyond glamour to the reliable performers who can get the job done.	skɑt prɛs ˈfʊtˌbɔl ɪz nɑt ˈɔlˌweɪz əˈbaʊt ˈbjuti. nɑt ʤɪst əˈbaʊt əˈtækɪŋ, ˈbrɪljənt ˈdrɪbəlɪŋ ər ˈgɔrʤəs sˈwipɪŋ muvz. ˈɔlsoʊ əˈbaʊt dɪˈfɛndɪŋ, əˈbaʊt ˈgɪtɪŋ ðə ˈbæləns raɪt, əˈbaʊt ˈwɪnɪŋ ðə bɔl bæk, əˈbaʊt ðə ənˈglæmərəs bət ˈnɛsəˌsɛri ʤɑbz. ðɪs ɪz ˈɔfən ə ˈprɑbləm fər ˈnæʃənəl ˈmænɪʤərz. ðə pleɪərz hu ər haɪpt ər nɑt ðə grafters. ðeɪ ər ðə bɔl pleɪərz, ðə forward-surgers, ðə ˈtɛknɪkəl virtuosos, ðə goalscorers. wi hæv tɪ pɪk lampard!

home daily news a person who locks himself in another's car… criminal justice a person who locks himself in another's car can be guilty of vehicle theft, state's top court rules a person in minnesota can be guilty of motor vehicle theft even if he move the vehicle, the minnesota supreme court has ruled. the court ruled against, who was accused of entering a running car that was parked in a driveway, minnesota public radio reports. the author of the sept. 6 opinion (pdf) is justice david stras, who has been nominated to the st. u.s. circuit court of appeals. thonesavanh was charged under a minnesota law that says anyone who “takes or drives a motor vehicle” without consent is guilty of motor vehicle theft. a person does not need to move a vehicle to “take” it, the state supreme court concluded. according to prosecutors, had knocked on the front door of the owner of the car, which was idling in the driveway as it warmed up on a winter morning. the owner called 911. when an officer arrived, was sitting in the car with the doors locked. he was eventually persuaded to leave the car and was placed under arrest. the word “take” is ambiguous, the court said. it has 80 different meanings in the american heritage dictionary, including 61 in its usage as a verb. some definitions require movement, and some do not. those that include “to seize with authority or legal right” and “to get possession of.” third new international dictionary has more than 90 definitions, including some that do and require movement. the court concluded the definition of “takes”—one that require the better construction. the opinion noted that the word “takes” in the simple robbery statute requires only temporary control over property. nor does the word require movement in the common law definition of larceny, the court said. the opinion also said that if the word “takes” in the statute required movement, the word “would become entirely interchangeable” with the word “drives,” rendering the word “takes” mere surplusage. hat tip to how appealing.	hoʊm ˈdeɪli nuz ə ˈpərsən hu lɑks hɪmˈsɛlf ɪn əˈnəðərz car…… ˈkrɪmənəl ˈʤəstɪs ə ˈpərsən hu lɑks hɪmˈsɛlf ɪn əˈnəðərz kɑr kən bi ˈgɪlti əv ˈviɪkəl θɛft, steɪts tɔp kɔrt rulz ə ˈpərsən ɪn ˌmɪnɪˈsoʊtə kən bi ˈgɪlti əv ˈmoʊtər ˈviɪkəl θɛft ˈivɪn ɪf hi muv ðə ˈviɪkəl, ðə ˌmɪnɪˈsoʊtə səˈprim kɔrt həz ruld. ðə kɔrt ruld əˈgɛnst, hu wɑz əˈkjuzd əv ˈɛnərɪŋ ə ˈrənɪŋ kɑr ðət wɑz pɑrkt ɪn ə ˈdraɪvˌweɪ, ˌmɪnɪˈsoʊtə ˈpəblɪk ˈreɪdiˌoʊ rɪˈpɔrts. ðə ˈɔθər əv ðə sɛpt. 6 əˈpɪnjən (pdf) ɪz ˈʤəstɪs ˈdeɪvɪd stras, hu həz bɪn ˈnɑməˌneɪtəd tɪ ðə st. juz. ˈsərkət kɔrt əv əˈpilz. wɑz ʧɑrʤd ˈəndər ə ˌmɪnɪˈsoʊtə lɔ ðət sɪz ˈɛniˌwən hu ər draɪvz ə ˈmoʊtər vehicle”” wɪˈθaʊt kənˈsɛnt ɪz ˈgɪlti əv ˈmoʊtər ˈviɪkəl θɛft. ə ˈpərsən dɪz nɑt nid tɪ muv ə ˈviɪkəl tɪ ““take”” ɪt, ðə steɪt səˈprim kɔrt kənˈkludɪd. əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ˈprɑsɪˌkjutərz, hæd nɑkt ɔn ðə frənt dɔr əv ðə ˈoʊnər əv ðə kɑr, wɪʧ wɑz ˈaɪdəlɪŋ ɪn ðə ˈdraɪvˌweɪ ɛz ɪt wɔrmd əp ɔn ə ˈwɪntər ˈmɔrnɪŋ. ðə ˈoʊnər kɔld 911 wɪn ən ˈɔfɪsər əraɪvd, wɑz ˈsɪtɪŋ ɪn ðə kɑr wɪθ ðə dɔrz lɑkt. hi wɑz ɪˈvɛnʧəwəli pərsˈweɪdɪd tɪ liv ðə kɑr ənd wɑz pleɪst ˈəndər ərˈɛst. ðə wərd ““take”” ɪz æmˈbɪgjuəs, ðə kɔrt sɛd. ɪt həz 80 ˈdɪfərənt ˈminɪŋz ɪn ðə əˈmɛrɪkən ˈhɛrɪtɪʤ ˈdɪkʃəˌnɛri, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ 61 ɪn ɪts ˈjusɪʤ ɛz ə vərb. səm ˌdɛfəˈnɪʃənz ˌrikˈwaɪər ˈmuvmənt, ənd səm du nɑt. ðoʊz ðət ˌɪnˈklud siz wɪθ əˈθɔrəti ər ˈligəl right”” ənd gɪt pəˈzɛʃən of.”.” θərd nu ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl ˈdɪkʃəˌnɛri həz mɔr ðən 90 ˌdɛfəˈnɪʃənz, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ səm ðət du ənd ˌrikˈwaɪər ˈmuvmənt. ðə kɔrt kənˈkludɪd ðə ˌdɛfəˈnɪʃən əv ðət ˌrikˈwaɪər ðə ˈbɛtər kənˈstrəkʃən. ðə əˈpɪnjən ˈnoʊtɪd ðət ðə wərd ““takes”” ɪn ðə ˈsɪmpəl ˈrɑbəri ˈstæʧut rikˈwaɪərz ˈoʊnli ˈtɛmpərˌɛri kənˈtroʊl ˈoʊvər ˈprɑpərti. nɔr dɪz ðə wərd ˌrikˈwaɪər ˈmuvmənt ɪn ðə ˈkɑmən lɔ ˌdɛfəˈnɪʃən əv ˈlɑrsəni, ðə kɔrt sɛd. ðə əˈpɪnjən ˈɔlsoʊ sɛd ðət ɪf ðə wərd ““takes”” ɪn ðə ˈstæʧut rikˈwaɪərd ˈmuvmənt, ðə wərd bɪˈkəm ɪnˈtaɪərli interchangeable”” wɪθ ðə wərd ““drives,”,” ˈrɛndərɪŋ ðə wərd ““takes”” mɪr surplusage*. hæt tɪp tɪ haʊ əˈpilɪŋ.
rep. eric (d-calif.) on friday blasted president trump for his speech alongside the president of romania in the white house rose garden, calling it a performance by a reality show star." speaking to cnn's jim sciutto, compared trump's "unpresidential" performance to fired fbi director james testimony before the senate intelligence committee the previous day. "it's a sad time in america. you compare what we saw yesterday: a sobering, serious testimony from james about his interactions with the president, and then a performance by a reality show star," said. "to tease out, whether or not he has tapes like a season finale is approaching of a reality show is very unpresidential, and it's really time he takes this seriously." advertisement swalwell was referring to trump's refusal to say whether he has recordings of his conversations with during a press conference friday. trump shared a cryptic tweet last month suggesting that he had "tapes" of the meetings with, details of which were shared with the new york times following the fbi chief's ouster last month. "lordy, i hope there are tapes," told lawmakers thursday when asked about the president's tweet. on friday, trump refused to answer yes or no when questioned about the existence of such tapes. “i’ll tell you about that maybe sometime in the near future," trump responded.	rɛpriˈzɛtətɪv. ˈɛrɪk (d-calif.) ɔn ˈfraɪˌdeɪ ˈblæstɪd ˈprɛzɪdənt trəmp fər hɪz spiʧ əˈlɔŋˈsaɪd ðə ˈprɛzɪdənt əv roʊˈmeɪniə ɪn ðə waɪt haʊs roʊz ˈgɑrdən, ˈkɔlɪŋ ɪt ə pərˈfɔrməns baɪ ə ˌriˈæləˌti ʃoʊ stɑr." ˈspikɪŋ tɪ ˈsiˈɛˈnɛnz ʤɪm sciutto, kəmˈpɛrd trəmps "unpresidential" pərˈfɔrməns tɪ faɪərd ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ dɪˈrɛktər ʤeɪmz ˈtɛstɪˌmoʊni ˌbiˈfɔr ðə ˈsɛnɪt ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns kəˈmɪti ðə ˈpriviəs deɪ.

let’s say a host and you get the one guy who precisely predicted the financial collapse a year before it happened. you want to talk to him about the reform debate and the financial implications of the current legislation. note also that the guest has been openly considering a run against an incumbent senator. as an interviewer, what strategy would you choose?a. ask him to detail in depth how he predicted the financial collapse and to provide parallels to what he sees in the debateb. acknowledge his success in predicted the 2008 collapse, but focus instead on the financial implications of reform as a separate topicc. research the topic thoroughly and debate him on substantive matters within the billd. talk over him, allow him to answer anything completely, offer juvenile demands to force the guest to give complicated answers in seconds”, and berate him when he attempts to explain why the entire problem with the interviewers will choose either a, b, or c, and all three are legitimate ways to interview an expert guest. if you want d, you usually have to tune in to, where lawrence filled in for ed schultz on the ed show and channeled his inner wally george. interviewed peter schiff, the man who tried to warn everyone that the housing bubble would burst and create a catastrophe, only in the sense that schiff was allowed to remain on camera during an diatribe by.why did act like a bully instead of a news interviewer? apart from the fact that is a bully on air, schiff wants to run against chris dodd for his senate seat, and schiff opposes obamacare. instead of allowing schiff to actually explain why, simply shouts over him and issues ridiculous time demands, and does just about everything short of sticking his fingers in his ears and yelling “na-na-na-i-can’t-hear-you” when schiff tries to explain his know, if was an actual news organization, someone there would be embarrassed.	let’s* seɪ ə hoʊst ənd ju gɪt ðə wən gaɪ hu prɪˈsaɪsli prɪˈdɪktɪd ðə ˌfaɪˈnænʃəl kəˈlæps ə jɪr ˌbiˈfɔr ɪt ˈhæpənd. ju wɔnt tɪ tɔk tɪ ɪm əˈbaʊt ðə rɪˈfɔrm dəˈbeɪt ənd ðə ˌfaɪˈnænʃəl ˌɪmpləˈkeɪʃənz əv ðə ˈkɑrənt ˌlɛʤəsˈleɪʃən. noʊt ˈɔlsoʊ ðət ðə gɛst həz bɪn ˈoʊpənli kənˈsɪdərɪŋ ə rən əˈgɛnst ən ˌɪnˈkəmbənt ˈsɛnətər. ɛz ən ˈɪntərvˌjuər, wət ˈstrætəʤi wʊd ju choose?a. æsk ɪm tɪ ˈditeɪl ɪn dɛpθ haʊ hi prɪˈdɪktɪd ðə ˌfaɪˈnænʃəl kəˈlæps ənd tɪ prəˈvaɪd ˈpɛrəˌlɛlz tɪ wət hi siz ɪn ðə debateb. ækˈnɑlɪʤ hɪz səkˈsɛs ɪn prɪˈdɪktɪd ðə 2008 kəˈlæps, bət ˈfoʊkɪs ˌɪnˈstɛd ɔn ðə ˌfaɪˈnænʃəl ˌɪmpləˈkeɪʃənz əv rɪˈfɔrm ɛz ə ˈsɛpərˌeɪt topicc. ˈrisərʧ ðə ˈtɑpɪk ˈθəroʊli ənd dəˈbeɪt ɪm ɔn ˈsəbstəntɪv ˈmætərz wɪˈθɪn ðə billd. tɔk ˈoʊvər ɪm, əˈlaʊ ɪm tɪ ˈænsər ˈɛniˌθɪŋ kəmˈplitli, ˈɔfər ˈʤuvəˌnaɪl dɪˈmændz tɪ fɔrs ðə gɛst tɪ gɪv ˈkɑmpləˌkeɪtəd ˈænsərz ɪn seconds””, ənd bɪˈreɪt ɪm wɪn hi əˈtɛmpts tɪ ɪkˈspleɪn waɪ ðə ɪnˈtaɪər ˈprɑbləm wɪθ ðə ˈɪntərvˌjuərz wɪl ʧuz ˈiðər ə, bi, ər si, ənd ɔl θri ər ləˈʤɪtəmət weɪz tɪ ˈɪntərvˌju ən ˈɛkspərt gɛst. ɪf ju wɔnt di, ju ˈjuʒəwəli hæv tɪ tun ɪn tɪ, wɛr ˈlɔrəns fɪld ɪn fər ɛd ʃʊlts ɔn ðə ɛd ʃoʊ ənd ˈʧænəld hɪz ˈɪnər ˈwɔli ʤɔrʤ. ˈɪntərvˌjud ˈpitər ʃɪf, ðə mæn hu traɪd tɪ wɔrn ˈɛvriˌwən ðət ðə ˈhaʊzɪŋ ˈbəbəl wʊd bərst ənd kriˈeɪt ə kəˈtæstrəfi, ˈoʊnli ɪn ðə sɛns ðət ʃɪf wɑz əˈlaʊd tɪ rɪˈmeɪn ɔn ˈkæmərə ˈdʊrɪŋ ən ˈdaɪəˌtraɪb baɪ dɪd ækt laɪk ə ˈbʊli ˌɪnˈstɛd əv ə nuz ˈɪntərvˌjuər? əˈpɑrt frəm ðə fækt ðət ɪz ə ˈbʊli ɔn ɛr, ʃɪf wɔnts tɪ rən əˈgɛnst krɪs dɑd fər hɪz ˈsɛnɪt sit, ənd ʃɪf əˈpoʊzɪz obamacare. ˌɪnˈstɛd əv əˈlaʊɪŋ ʃɪf tɪ ˈæˌkʧuəli ɪkˈspleɪn waɪ, ˈsɪmpli ʃaʊts ˈoʊvər ɪm ənd ˈɪʃuz rɪˈdɪkjələs taɪm dɪˈmændz, ənd dɪz ʤɪst əˈbaʊt ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ ʃɔrt əv ˈstɪkɪŋ hɪz ˈfɪŋgərz ɪn hɪz ɪrz ənd ˈjɛlɪŋ ““na-na-na-i-can’t-hear-you”*” wɪn ʃɪf traɪz tɪ ɪkˈspleɪn hɪz noʊ, ɪf wɑz ən ˈækʧəwəl nuz ˌɔrgənəˈzeɪʃən, ˈsəmˌwən ðɛr wʊd bi ɪmˈbɛrəst.
banksy is an english street artist and activist who has become a cult hero for his and rebellious artwork. unlike someone i know, who stays in his house all day drawing comics and watching simpsons reruns, is a real artist who challenges the status quo, forces people to think and puts himself in danger, all while remaining a complete mystery to the world. i mean think about it, one of the most famous artists on the planet, his work has been popping up in major cities for the past 10 years and sell for millions of dollars and no one knows who the hell this guy is! i take my hat off to the dude. if you seen it, i recommend the documentary directed, exit through the gift shop. what was meant to be a film about instead turned into a movie about the man who was obsessed in trying to meet him. although many have claimed that a ‘mockumentary’ and the plot a set-up, still a brilliant film. it not only documents the street art movement, it also deals with the meaning of art, and whether or not an artist actually needs any talent or can just survive on hype alone. two thumbs up! this quote was taken from’s 2004 book cut it out. some of the passage was from an essay by artist sean tejaratchi. i rearranged the last couple of sentences for this comic.	banksy* ɪz ən ˈɪŋlɪʃ strit ˈɑrtɪst ənd ˈæktɪvɪst hu həz bɪˈkəm ə kəlt ˈhɪroʊ fər hɪz ənd rɪˈbɛljəs ˈɑrtˌwərk. ənˈlaɪk ˈsəmˌwən aɪ noʊ, hu steɪz ɪn hɪz haʊs ɔl deɪ drɔɪŋ ˈkɑmɪks ənd ˈwɑʧɪŋ ˈsɪmpsənz ˈriˈrənz, ɪz ə ril ˈɑrtɪst hu ˈʧælənʤɪz ðə ˈstætəs kwoʊ, ˈfɔrsɪz ˈpipəl tɪ θɪŋk ənd pʊts hɪmˈsɛlf ɪn ˈdeɪnʤər, ɔl waɪl rɪˈmeɪnɪŋ ə kəmˈplit ˈmɪstəri tɪ ðə wərld. aɪ min θɪŋk əˈbaʊt ɪt, wən əv ðə moʊst ˈfeɪməs ˈɑrtɪsts ɔn ðə ˈplænət, hɪz wərk həz bɪn ˈpɑpɪŋ əp ɪn ˈmeɪʤər ˈsɪtiz fər ðə pæst 10 jɪrz ənd sɛl fər ˈmɪljənz əv ˈdɔlərz ənd noʊ wən noʊz hu ðə hɛl ðɪs gaɪ ɪz! aɪ teɪk maɪ hæt ɔf tɪ ðə dud. ɪf ju sin ɪt, aɪ ˌrɛkəˈmɛnd ðə ˌdɑkjəˈmɛnəri dɪˈrɛktɪd, ˈɛksət θru ðə gɪft ʃɑp. wət wɑz mɛnt tɪ bi ə fɪlm əˈbaʊt ˌɪnˈstɛd tərnd ˈɪntu ə ˈmuvi əˈbaʊt ðə mæn hu wɑz əbˈsɛst ɪn traɪɪŋ tɪ mit ɪm. ˌɔlˈðoʊ ˈmɛni hæv kleɪmd ðət ə ‘‘mockumentary’’ ənd ðə plɑt ə ˈsɛˌtəp, stɪl ə ˈbrɪljənt fɪlm. ɪt nɑt ˈoʊnli ˈdɑkjəmənts ðə strit ɑrt ˈmuvmənt, ɪt ˈɔlsoʊ dilz wɪθ ðə ˈminɪŋ əv ɑrt, ənd ˈwɛðər ər nɑt ən ˈɑrtɪst ˈæˌkʧuəli nidz ˈɛni ˈtælənt ər kən ʤɪst sərˈvaɪv ɔn haɪp əˈloʊn. tu θəmz əp! ðɪs kwoʊt wɑz ˈteɪkən frəm 2004 bʊk kət ɪt aʊt. səm əv ðə ˈpæsɪʤ wɑz frəm ən ˈɛˌseɪ baɪ ˈɑrtɪst ʃɔn tejaratchi. aɪ riəreɪnʤd ðə læst ˈkəpəl əv ˈsɛntənsɪz fər ðɪs ˈkɑmɪk.

at the good samaritan haven, representative peter welch (d-vt) today announced bipartisan legislation to help rural states like vermont secure additional funding to fight homelessness. welch is introducing the bill with rep. geoff davis (r-ky). welch’s bill 3141) would increase federal funding to vermont for the federal projects for assistance in transition from homelessness (path) program. established in 1990, path provides funding for local efforts to help homeless, mentally ill vermonters and those at risk of becoming homeless. vermont and 21 other states currently receive the minimum level of path funding of $300,00 per year. while larger states have received increases in path funding in recent years, the formula used to calculate funding overlooks rural states. as a result, vermont continues to receive the minimum level of funding, despite rising costs and increased demand for services. bill would raise the minimum level of funding for states from $300,00 to $750,000 per year. ‘homelessness is a human tragedy affecting communities across the country, especially in this tough economy,’ welch said. ‘this bill will get much needed additional assistance to local agencies in vermont who are performing heroic work fighting this endemic problem.’ brian smith, housing program administrator for the vermont department of mental health, said ‘the introduction of this legislation is the most important recognition of the work done to outreach and engage homeless mentally ill vermonters by federally funded path providers. for more than twenty years, this program has not increased the original level of funding to smaller states. this action will initiate an opportunity to remedy that system challenge.’ administered by the vermont department of mental health, path funds support programs at: · center, · neighborworks, west rutland · good samaritan haven, barre · community health center, burlington · northeast kingdom community action group, newport · green mountain support way, montpelier in july 2011, the path program at the community health center in burlington was recognized as one of four national organizations for best practice in medical care for homeless mentally ill. welch's office.	æt ðə gʊd səˈmɛrɪtən ˈheɪvən, ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnətɪv ˈpitər wɛlʧ (d-vt) təˈdeɪ əˈnaʊnst baɪˈpɑrtɪzən ˌlɛʤəsˈleɪʃən tɪ hɛlp ˈrʊrəl steɪts laɪk vərˈmɑnt sɪˈkjʊr əˈdɪʃənəl ˈfəndɪŋ tɪ faɪt ˈhoʊmləsnəs. wɛlʧ ɪz ˌɪntrəˈdusɪŋ ðə bɪl wɪθ rɛpriˈzɛtətɪv. ʤɛf ˈdeɪvɪs (r-ky). bɪl 3141 wʊd ˌɪnˈkris ˈfɛdərəl ˈfəndɪŋ tɪ vərˈmɑnt fər ðə ˈfɛdərəl ˈprɑʤɛkts fər əˈsɪstəns ɪn trænˈzɪʃən frəm ˈhoʊmləsnəs (pæθ) ˈproʊˌgræm. ɪˈstæblɪʃt ɪn 1990 pæθ prəˈvaɪdz ˈfəndɪŋ fər ˈloʊkəl ˈɛfərts tɪ hɛlp ˈhoʊmləs, ˈmɛnəli ɪl vərˈmɑntərz ənd ðoʊz æt rɪsk əv bɪˈkəmɪŋ ˈhoʊmləs. vərˈmɑnt ənd 21 ˈəðər steɪts ˈkərəntli rɪˈsiv ðə ˈmɪnəməm ˈlɛvəl əv pæθ ˈfəndɪŋ əv pər jɪr. waɪl ˈlɑrʤər steɪts hæv rɪˈsivd ˌɪnˈkrisɪz ɪn pæθ ˈfəndɪŋ ɪn ˈrisənt jɪrz, ðə ˈfɔrmjələ juzd tɪ ˈkælkjəˌleɪt ˈfəndɪŋ ˈoʊvərˌlʊks ˈrʊrəl steɪts. ɛz ə rɪˈzəlt, vərˈmɑnt kənˈtɪnjuz tɪ rɪˈsiv ðə ˈmɪnəməm ˈlɛvəl əv ˈfəndɪŋ, dɪˈspaɪt ˈraɪzɪŋ kɔsts ənd ˌɪnˈkrist dɪˈmænd fər ˈsərvɪsɪz. bɪl wʊd reɪz ðə ˈmɪnəməm ˈlɛvəl əv ˈfəndɪŋ fər steɪts frəm tɪ pər jɪr. ɪz ə ˈjumən ˈtræʤədi əˈfɛktɪŋ kəmˈjunɪtiz əˈkrɔs ðə ˈkəntri, əˈspɛʃəli ɪn ðɪs təf economy,’,’ wɛlʧ sɛd. bɪl wɪl gɪt məʧ ˈnidɪd əˈdɪʃənəl əˈsɪstəns tɪ ˈloʊkəl ˈeɪʤənsiz ɪn vərˈmɑnt hu ər pərˈfɔrmɪŋ hɪˈroʊɪk wərk ˈfaɪtɪŋ ðɪs ɛnˈdɛmɪk problem.’.’ braɪən smɪθ, ˈhaʊzɪŋ ˈproʊˌgræm ədˈmɪnɪˌstreɪtər fər ðə vərˈmɑnt dɪˈpɑrtmənt əv ˈmɛntəl hɛlθ, sɛd ˌɪntrəˈdəkʃən əv ðɪs ˌlɛʤəsˈleɪʃən ɪz ðə moʊst ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt ˌrɛkɪgˈnɪʃən əv ðə wərk dən tɪ ˈaʊˌtriʧ ənd ɪnˈgeɪʤ ˈhoʊmləs ˈmɛnəli ɪl vərˈmɑntərz baɪ ˈfɛdərəli ˈfəndɪd pæθ prəˈvaɪdərz. fər mɔr ðən tˈwɛnti jɪrz, ðɪs ˈproʊˌgræm həz nɑt ˌɪnˈkrist ðə ərˈɪʤənəl ˈlɛvəl əv ˈfəndɪŋ tɪ sˈmɔlər steɪts. ðɪs ˈækʃən wɪl ˌɪˈnɪʃiˌeɪt ən ˌɑpərˈtunəti tɪ ˈrɛmədi ðət ˈsɪstəm challenge.’.’ ədˈmɪnɪstərd baɪ ðə vərˈmɑnt dɪˈpɑrtmənt əv ˈmɛntəl hɛlθ, pæθ fəndz səˈpɔrt ˈproʊˌgræmz æt: ˈsɛnər, neighborworks, wɛst ˈrətlənd gʊd səˈmɛrɪtən ˈheɪvən, ˈbɛri kəmˈjunɪti hɛlθ ˈsɛnər, ˈbərlɪŋtən ˌnɔrˈθist ˈkɪŋdəm kəmˈjunɪti ˈækʃən grup, ˈnupɔrt grin ˈmaʊntən səˈpɔrt weɪ, mɑntˈpiliər ɪn ˌʤuˈlaɪ 2011 ðə pæθ ˈproʊˌgræm æt ðə kəmˈjunɪti hɛlθ ˈsɛnər ɪn ˈbərlɪŋtən wɑz ˈrɛkəgˌnaɪzd ɛz wən əv fɔr ˈnæʃənəl ˌɔrgənəˈzeɪʃənz fər bɛst ˈpræktɪs ɪn ˈmɛdɪkəl kɛr fər ˈhoʊmləs ˈmɛnəli ɪl. ˈwɛlʧɪz ˈɔfəs.
i was flipping around the ole tv dial yesterday after work and amazingly who wants to be a millionaire? is still on some station in the of cable television. who knew? anyhoo, i stopped on the show just long enough to see some dope miss a gimme. which got me to wondering if this was a common occurrence over the many years of the show. knowing the internet like i do i knew that if there were a lot of failures on that show they'd surely find their way to the web and of course, they did. and here they are... and he seemed so damn sure... eh, the show has only been on the air 25 years... quick: to 8:11am, how many minutes elapsed? well, why don't you cry about it... probably shouldn't have quit that job... there's dead people at stonehenge i guess... frank capra, he did the snow white movie, right? i hope her kid isn't home schooled... maybe he should have taken a nap... alright, one more then play her off keyboard cat... by the way, if you also missed one of these questions, i'm so sorry. at least you didn't do it on television. (isn't there a test or something these people had to take to get on this show? seriously, these people must have been scheduled to be on smarter than a fifth grader and made a wrong turn in the studio.)	aɪ wɑz ˈflɪpɪŋ əraʊnd ðə ˌoʊˈleɪ ˌtɛləˈvɪʒən daɪəl ˈjɛstərˌdeɪ ˈæftər wərk ənd əˈmeɪzɪŋli hu wɔnts tɪ bi ə ˌmɪljəˈnɛr? ɪz stɪl ɔn səm ˈsteɪʃən ɪn ðə əv ˈkeɪbəl ˈtɛləˌvɪʒən. hu nu? anyhoo, aɪ stɑpt ɔn ðə ʃoʊ ʤɪst lɔŋ ɪˈnəf tɪ si səm doʊp mɪs ə ˈgɪmi. wɪʧ gɑt mi tɪ ˈwəndərɪŋ ɪf ðɪs wɑz ə ˈkɑmən əˈkərəns ˈoʊvər ðə ˈmɛni jɪrz əv ðə ʃoʊ. noʊɪŋ ðə ˈɪntərˌnɛt laɪk aɪ du aɪ nu ðət ɪf ðɛr wər ə lɔt əv ˈfeɪljərz ɔn ðət ʃoʊ ðeɪd ˈʃʊrli faɪnd ðɛr weɪ tɪ ðə wɛb ənd əv kɔrs, ðeɪ dɪd. ənd hir ðeɪ ər... ənd hi simd soʊ dæm ʃʊr... ɛ, ðə ʃoʊ həz ˈoʊnli bɪn ɔn ðə ɛr 25 jɪrz... kwɪk: tɪ 8:11am, haʊ ˈmɛni ˈmɪnəts ɪˈlæpst? wɛl, waɪ doʊnt ju kraɪ əˈbaʊt ɪt... ˈprɑbəˌbli ˈʃʊdənt hæv kwɪt ðət ʤɑb... ðɛrz dɛd ˈpipəl æt ˈstoʊnˌhɛnʤ aɪ gɛs... fræŋk ˈkæprə, hi dɪd ðə snoʊ waɪt ˈmuvi, raɪt? aɪ hoʊp hər kɪd ˈɪzənt hoʊm skuld... ˈmeɪbi hi ʃʊd hæv ˈteɪkən ə næp... ˌɔˈlraɪt, wən mɔr ðɛn pleɪ hər ɔf ˈkiˌbɔrd kæt... baɪ ðə weɪ, ɪf ju ˈɔlsoʊ mɪst wən əv ðiz kˈwɛsʧənz, əm soʊ ˈsɑri. æt list ju ˈdɪdənt du ɪt ɔn ˈtɛləˌvɪʒən.

as owner sara fitzgerald walks through her beloved houston venue at the corner of white oak and, her voice brightens when she speaks of all the upgrades and improvements now occurring at her namesake establishment. we peek through the back door to the patio, where tables, chairs and night lights will soon play host to customers enjoying fare from the parking lot. face brightens as i can tell we are thinking the same thing: warm and inviting, the kind of place expect to relax on an evening with friends after work or just hanging out. with the liquor license coming shortly and the club's booking calendar nearly full, fitzgerald is excited about all the prospects and good changes coming her way. easy to share in her enthusiasm, too. who are even remotely interested in live music know and love. continue reading reminded of this, fitzgerald nods and recalls some of music's biggest names who have played her club. in the fitz parking lot, looking south. “so many, we had so many,” she says. “tina turner, stevie ray vaughan, even rumored elvis played here long ago.” while we meander through the paint cans, saws, fresh wood and a salty carpenter named jim, it still feels like despite the cosmetic adjustments. standing at dead center of the room and looking at the downstairs stage, fitzgerald reminisces about all the talent that has crossed it. from country to rock to metal to punk, the venue has hosted every kind of music there is. that edgy feel is important to a lot of longtime customers. the club has survived gentrification and missed the crate & makeover that much of the heights has experienced, thank goodness. you could even argue that its success helped spawn the cleanup on and the surrounding area. at the very least, you can definitely attribute the local business success to. sara fitzgerald knows this, too. “when i started here [in 1977], none of these businesses were here,” she smiles, recalling when the corner was just her, a nightclub and a floral shop nearby. now, eateries, bars and clubs surround her, and those local customers have come to expect a certain level of decor and hospitality. here, fitzgerald's did not disappoint, either fitz's new ladies' room: nice, huh? “you have to see the bathrooms!” fitzgerald almost gushes as we walk into the newly tiled, brightly lit and pleasantly open restroom. the smell of fresh paint, spackle and cleanliness is a welcome change to the aging landmark that once had a black-walled, claustrophobic, bathroom (toilet paper optional) with one light, ample graffiti, and a sink without soap or hand towels. it’s hard to imagine that anyone appreciate the care that fitzgerald extends to her customers by providing them a space they want to use. sure, clean bathrooms may not be “punk,” but when was the last time you saw hardcore gutter kids in the heights anyway?

researchers from china have developed a drug delivery system with long blood circulation and tumor penetration. this system consists of (nps), which are loaded with the cancer drug. in combination with the peptide irgd, the significantly inhibit tumor growth and metastasis formation in a breast cancer mouse model. nanosized drug delivery systems can facilitate the delivery of water insoluble cancer drugs into the tumor tissue. however, previous systems suffered from fast secretion and poor cell permeability of the. this leads to low, ineffective concentrations of the drugs in tumor cells. the innovative structure of the system reported by su and co-workers overcomes these difficulties. the consist of two parts: a hybrid loaded with and a vesicle. the vesicle is extracted from a membrane. while the membrane ensures the long blood circulation of the, there is still a need for optimization of uptake. this is realized by combining the with the tumor penetrating peptide irgd. with its dual effect on tumor growth and metastasis formation, the resulting drug delivery system is a very promising option to improve therapy effects. if the vesicle is extracted from thes of the patient, the system can also be a candidate for individualized treatment.	ˈrisərʧərz frəm ˈʧaɪnə hæv dɪˈvɛləpt ə drəg dɪˈlɪvəri ˈsɪstəm wɪθ lɔŋ bləd ˈsərkjəˌleɪʃən ənd ˈtumər ˌpɛnəˈtreɪʃən. ðɪs ˈsɪstəm kənˈsɪsts əv (nps), wɪʧ ər ˈloʊdɪd wɪθ ðə ˈkænsər drəg. ɪn ˌkɑmbəˈneɪʃən wɪθ ðə ˈpɛpˌtaɪd irgd, ðə sɪgˈnɪfɪkəntli ˌɪnˈhɪbət ˈtumər groʊθ ənd məˈtæstəsɪs fɔrˈmeɪʃən ɪn ə brɛst ˈkænsər maʊs ˈmɑdəl. drəg dɪˈlɪvəri ˈsɪstəmz kən fəˈsɪləˌteɪt ðə dɪˈlɪvəri əv ˈwɔtər ˌɪnˈsɑljəbəl ˈkænsər drəgz ˈɪntu ðə ˈtumər ˈtɪʃu. ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ˈpriviəs ˈsɪstəmz ˈsəfərd frəm fæst səˈkriʃən ənd pur sɛl pərˌmiəˈbɪlɪti əv ðə. ðɪs lidz tɪ loʊ, ˌɪnɪˈfɛktɪv ˌkɑnsənˈtreɪʃənz əv ðə drəgz ɪn ˈtumər sɛlz. ðə ˈɪnəˌveɪtɪv ˈstrəkʧər əv ðə ˈsɪstəm ˌriˈpɔrtəd baɪ su ənd ˈkoʊˈwərkərz ˈoʊvərˌkəmz ðiz ˈdɪfɪˌkəltiz. ðə kənˈsɪst əv tu pɑrts: ə ˈhaɪbrɪd ˈloʊdɪd wɪθ ənd ə ˈvɛzɪkəl. ðə ˈvɛzɪkəl ɪz ɛkˈstræktɪd frəm ə ˈmɛmˌbreɪn. waɪl ðə ˈmɛmˌbreɪn ɪnˈʃʊrz ðə lɔŋ bləd ˈsərkjəˌleɪʃən əv ðə, ðɛr ɪz stɪl ə nid fər ɑptɪmɪˈzeɪʃən əv ˈəpˌteɪk. ðɪs ɪz ˈriəˌlaɪzd baɪ kəmˈbaɪnɪŋ ðə wɪθ ðə ˈtumər ˈpɛnəˌtreɪtɪŋ ˈpɛpˌtaɪd irgd*. wɪθ ɪts duəl ˈifɛkt ɔn ˈtumər groʊθ ənd məˈtæstəsɪs fɔrˈmeɪʃən, ðə rɪˈzəltɪŋ drəg dɪˈlɪvəri ˈsɪstəm ɪz ə ˈvɛri ˈprɑməsɪŋ ˈɔpʃən tɪ ˌɪmˈpruv ˈθɛrəpi ˈifɛkts. ɪf ðə ˈvɛzɪkəl ɪz ɛkˈstræktɪd frəm ðə əv ðə ˈpeɪʃənt, ðə ˈsɪstəm kən ˈɔlsoʊ bi ə ˈkænədɪt fər ˌɪndɪˈvɪʤəlaɪzd ˈtritmənt.
babies take a lot of work. and before hospitals and advances in health care, not all that many survived into adulthood. photo by images this question originally appeared on quora. answer by dan holliday: all modern societies evolved out of agrarian societies. before the industrial revolution, the male endurance value and physical strength translated directly to political power. men fought in wars, hunted beasts, erected buildings, and plowed fields precisely because they possessed the physical stamina to do so at a far greater degree than females. i’m a huge fan of saying, “history does not occur in a vacuum.” which is a fancy way of saying, “s*** throughout human history happens for very good reasons.” back before the industrial revolution, human fertility was the highest premium factor in existence. people lived to have babies, and babies were the most important thing men and women brought into the world. the female role in we a lot more time, effort, and pain (and before recently, a hell of a lot of death). every moment women spent pregnant (which was a lot of time) was time that she would have been taken away from power-playing. this was for a very good reason, reasons that no longer exist (and a reality we now live in that we take for granted). more than half of all human beings died before their second birthday. life was largely physically challenging, oftentimes painful, and disease was relatively rampant. life quite as short as most people make it out to be (mean life expectancy was around 38 years because of child mortality, but only another 10 years is added once we factor in those who make it to their teens, meaning that life expectancy hovered around awfully short). so, to put it plainly, women had a place in society that just dictated by male prejudice (while it certainly existed); it was dictated by the needs of society. was (and is) a very affair. rearing children could not be done in centers or public facilities. there were no public schools, no social safety nets, no labor laws: all that existed was family and (and religious organizations in the business of providing much in the way of social safety nets). women were needed at home because the lack of sophistication in society basically relegated most men and women into the roles that they had: men = physical power / social manager and women = home power / child-bearer. we (and a passionate gender egalitarian) may want to say it was because of “those prejudiced men who kept women down!” but just a bit too simplistic. even women back then question their role; even women in power (queens) believed in those roles. nobody knew any different! there were very real reasons rooted all the way back into the dawn of humanity, lost to the obscurity of the ages. but we know, most definitely, that the gender roles played by men and women were necessary for society to continue because life was physical, generally short, and dependent upon those roles. now, with the advent of the industrial and medical revolutions, suddenly there was surplus wealth (to pay for schools, social programs, safety nets), machines that equalized strength, education to give both genders a chance at contributing to society and longer human lives to fill our cities. with this, the necessity of having babies to preserve society diminished. the need for strong and durable men to work in fields, factories, and in war began to diminish because machines did the “equalizing” work. this has continued apace even to today, in places where machines do all of the heavy lifting and all that matters is brain power. now, there may remain a few select jobs where brute physical strength is at a premium soldiers, miners, construction, etc.) and those are likely to continue to be dominated by men for obvious reasons. and so the equalizing of the genders is not something that “men granted” but which society needed and women rightly demanded. we know now that no organization can prosper without tapping into the full mental and emotional potential of both genders (anything less is both a horrible waste and a recipe for failure). in fact, reaching a point in development where if we do not demand that everybody contribute to their full potential, then we notice a massive creative lag in that society. more importantly, as a growing world of humanists, we understand that no society can truly be free until every citizen has the same rights; to deny even the least of its members carries the potential to deny all of its members freedom and liberty. more questions on women:	ˈbeɪbiz teɪk ə lɔt əv wərk. ənd ˌbiˈfɔr ˈhɑˌspɪtəlz ənd ədˈvænsɪz ɪn hɛlθ kɛr, nɑt ɔl ðət ˈmɛni sərˈvaɪvd ˈɪntu əˈdəlˌthʊd. ˈfoʊˌtoʊ baɪ ˈɪmɪʤɪz ðɪs kˈwɛʃən ərˈɪʤənəli əˈpɪrd ɔn kˈwɔrə. ˈænsər baɪ dæn ˈhɑlɪˌdeɪ: ɔl ˈmɑdərn səˈsaɪɪtiz ɪˈvɑlvd aʊt əv əˈgrɛriən səˈsaɪɪtiz. ˌbiˈfɔr ðə ˌɪnˈdəstriəl ˌrɛvəˈluʃən, ðə meɪl ˈɛndərəns ˈvælju ənd ˈfɪzɪkəl strɛŋθ trænzˈleɪtəd dɪˈrɛkli tɪ pəˈlɪtɪkəl paʊər. mɛn fɔt ɪn wɔrz, ˈhənɪd bists, ɪˈrɛktɪd ˈbɪldɪŋz, ənd plaʊd fildz prɪˈsaɪsli bɪˈkəz ðeɪ pəˈzɛst ðə ˈfɪzɪkəl ˈstæmənə tɪ du soʊ æt ə fɑr ˈgreɪtər dɪˈgri ðən ˈfiˌmeɪlz. ə juʤ fæn əv seɪɪŋ, dɪz nɑt əˈkər ɪn ə vacuum.”.” wɪʧ ɪz ə ˈfænsi weɪ əv seɪɪŋ, θruaʊt ˈjumən ˈhɪstəri ˈhæpənz fər ˈvɛri gʊd reasons.”.” bæk ˌbiˈfɔr ðə ˌɪnˈdəstriəl ˌrɛvəˈluʃən, ˈjumən fərˈtɪlɪti wɑz ðə haɪəst ˈprimiəm ˈfæktər ɪn ɪgˈzɪstəns. ˈpipəl lɪvd tɪ hæv ˈbeɪbiz, ənd ˈbeɪbiz wər ðə moʊst ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt θɪŋ mɛn ənd ˈwɪmən brɔt ˈɪntu ðə wərld. ðə ˈfiˌmeɪl roʊl ɪn wi ə lɔt mɔr taɪm, ˈɛfərt, ənd peɪn (ənd ˌbiˈfɔr ˈrisəntli, ə hɛl əv ə lɔt əv dɛθ). ˈɛvəri ˈmoʊmənt ˈwɪmən spɛnt ˈprɛgnənt (wɪʧ wɑz ə lɔt əv taɪm) wɑz taɪm ðət ʃi wʊd hæv bɪn ˈteɪkən əˈweɪ frəm power-playing. ðɪs wɑz fər ə ˈvɛri gʊd ˈrizən, ˈrizənz ðət noʊ ˈlɔŋgər ɪgˈzɪst (ənd ə ˌriˈæləˌti wi naʊ lɪv ɪn ðət wi teɪk fər ˈgrænɪd). mɔr ðən hæf əv ɔl ˈjumən biɪŋz daɪd ˌbiˈfɔr ðɛr ˈsɛkənd ˈbərθˌdeɪ. laɪf wɑz ˈlɑrʤli ˈfɪzɪkəli ˈʧælənʤɪŋ, ˈɔfənˌtaɪmz ˈpeɪnfəl, ənd dɪˈziz wɑz ˈrɛlətɪvli ˈræmpənt. laɪf kwaɪt ɛz ʃɔrt ɛz moʊst ˈpipəl meɪk ɪt aʊt tɪ bi (min laɪf ɪkˈspɛktənsi wɑz əraʊnd 38 jɪrz bɪˈkəz əv ʧaɪld mɔrˈtæləti, bət ˈoʊnli əˈnəðər 10 jɪrz ɪz ˈædɪd wəns wi ˈfæktər ɪn ðoʊz hu meɪk ɪt tɪ ðɛr tinz, ˈminɪŋ ðət laɪf ɪkˈspɛktənsi ˈhəvərd əraʊnd ˈɔfəli ʃɔrt). soʊ, tɪ pʊt ɪt ˈpleɪnli, ˈwɪmən hæd ə pleɪs ɪn soʊˈsaɪɪti ðət ʤɪst ˈdɪkˌteɪtɪd baɪ meɪl ˈprɛʤədɪs (waɪl ɪt ˈsərtənli ɪgˈzɪstəd); ɪt wɑz ˈdɪkˌteɪtɪd baɪ ðə nidz əv soʊˈsaɪɪti. wɑz (ənd ɪz) ə ˈvɛri əˈfɛr. ˈrɪrɪŋ ˈʧɪldrən kʊd nɑt bi dən ɪn ˈsɛnərz ər ˈpəblɪk fəˈsɪlɪtiz. ðɛr wər noʊ ˈpəblɪk skulz, noʊ ˈsoʊʃəl ˈseɪfti nɛts, noʊ ˈleɪbər lɔz: ɔl ðət ɪgˈzɪstəd wɑz ˈfæməli ənd (ənd rɪˈlɪʤəs ˌɔrgənəˈzeɪʃənz ɪn ðə ˈbɪznɪs əv prəˈvaɪdɪŋ məʧ ɪn ðə weɪ əv ˈsoʊʃəl ˈseɪfti nɛts). ˈwɪmən wər ˈnidɪd æt hoʊm bɪˈkəz ðə læk əv səˌfɪstəˈkeɪʃən ɪn soʊˈsaɪɪti ˈbeɪsɪkli ˈrɛləˌgeɪtɪd moʊst mɛn ənd ˈwɪmən ˈɪntu ðə roʊlz ðət ðeɪ hæd: mɛn ˈfɪzɪkəl paʊər ˈsoʊʃəl ˈmænɪʤər ənd ˈwɪmən hoʊm paʊər child-bearer. wi (ənd ə ˈpæʃənət ˈʤɛndər ɪˌgæləˈtɛriən) meɪ wɔnt tɪ seɪ ɪt wɑz bɪˈkəz əv ˈprɛʤədəst mɛn hu kɛpt ˈwɪmən down!”!” bət ʤɪst ə bɪt tu sɪmˈplɪstɪk. ˈivɪn ˈwɪmən bæk ðɛn kˈwɛʃən ðɛr roʊl; ˈivɪn ˈwɪmən ɪn paʊər (kwinz) bɪˈlivd ɪn ðoʊz roʊlz. ˈnoʊˌbɑˌdi nu ˈɛni ˈdɪfərənt!

twelve international banks and financial institutions are set to file submissions to the court of appeal, after a british legal bid to obtain a dependent visa from the hong kong immigration department was denied last year. last march, the high court rejected a judicial review application from the woman known as, who entered into a civil partnership with another woman,, in britain. when moved to hong kong to work at a technology firm in 2011, was denied a dependent visa, and has had to repeatedly enter the city as a tourist. the same dependent visa is routinely granted to heterosexual couples. has since appealed the high rejection of her legal challenge. intervenors hkfp has learnt that at least 12 global financial institutions have applied to the court of appeal to be able to file submissions as intervenors in the case. they plan to speak about how the results of the case could affect hong competitiveness and ability to hire global talent. the institutions include: amro bank, insurance hong kong, australia and new zealand banking group, the bank of new york mellon, blackrock management north asia, credit suisse (hong kong), goldman sachs services (hong kong), morgan stanley asia, nomura international hong kong, the royal bank of canada, societe generale and state street bank & trust. the court of appeal is still considering the applications. the hearing is scheduled to begin later this month. “by applying to intervene, they seek to assist the court by giving a more rounded picture of the issues than it would otherwise obtain, by providing an perspective to the considerations,” read a statement from law firm davis polk & wardwell, representing the banks. qt’s lawyer michael also confirmed there had been an application to intervene by some banks, but did not give further details. lawmaker ray chan hong only openly gay legislator said on twitter that protecting workers’ rights is the “right thing to do for business.” as a financial center, #hongkong must stay competitive internationally: equal rights for talents, dependent visa for same-sex couple. ray chan (@slowbeat_chan) june 7, 2017 a spokesperson for rights ngo community business told it supports the application by the banks, saying that inclusive businesses can lead wider society to change its attitudes towards the community. “this issue not only affects overseas talent,” she said, “but also local home-grown talent who may be in a same-sex partnership which has been legally registered and recognised overseas.” “the proposed change to hong immigration policy, besides being good for business, would not undermine stringent immigration controls.” in an unrelated case, the high court ruled in april that the hong kong government should grant civil servant welfare benefits to the spouses of civil servants married to same-sex partners overseas. see also: hong kong appeals high court ruling on marriage benefits for gay couple but the government appealed the decision the following month after backlash from conservative groups, including a petition from and five legislators. hkfp has contacted several of the institutions for comment.	twɛlv ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl bæŋks ənd

a pittsburgh man stabbed in the head with a screwdriver during the penguins’ playoff opener against the columbus blue jackets on wednesday night refused medical attention until the game was over, police said. the stanley cup contenders, ranked: capitals can go all the way read more officers were dispatched to the city of steel auto detail shop in carrick neighborhood at local time on wednesday, where they found the victim bleeding from the scalp, a pittsburgh police spokesperson told the guardian. authorities said the victim, who was unidentified by police but said to be the owner of the shop, was in the rear of the building when he became engaged in a verbal altercation with a male, whose name is also being withheld. the conflict escalated until the younger man struck the victim in the head with a screwdriver, the officers said. police said the victim refused treatment for the laceration from paramedics on the scene, stating he would drive himself to mercy hospital after the game, which he did once it finished at local time. no arrest has been made yet in the incident, a spokesperson told the guardian on thursday afternoon. the penguins defeated the blue jackets to stake a lead in the series.	ə ˈpɪtsbərg mæn stæbd ɪn ðə hɛd wɪθ ə ˈskruˌdraɪvər ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə penguins’*’ pleɪɔf ˈoʊpənər əˈgɛnst ðə kəˈləmbəs blu ˈʤækɪts ɔn ˈwɛnzˌdeɪ naɪt rɪfˈjuzd ˈmɛdɪkəl əˈtɛnʃən ənˈtɪl ðə geɪm wɑz ˈoʊvər, pəˈlis sɛd. ðə ˈstænli kəp kənˈtɛndərz, ræŋkt: ˈkæpɪtəlz kən goʊ ɔl ðə weɪ rɛd mɔr ˈɔfɪsərz wər dɪˈspæʧt tɪ ðə ˈsɪti əv stil ˈɔtoʊ ˈditeɪl ʃɑp ɪn ˈkɛrɪk ˈneɪbərˌhʊd æt ˈloʊkəl taɪm ɔn ˈwɛnzˌdeɪ, wɛr ðeɪ faʊnd ðə ˈvɪktɪm ˈblidɪŋ frəm ðə skælp, ə ˈpɪtsbərg pəˈlis ˈspoʊkspərsən toʊld ðə ˈgɑrdiən. əˈθɔrətiz sɛd ðə ˈvɪktɪm, hu wɑz ˌənaɪˈdɛntəˌfaɪd baɪ pəˈlis bət sɛd tɪ bi ðə ˈoʊnər əv ðə ʃɑp, wɑz ɪn ðə rɪr əv ðə ˈbɪldɪŋ wɪn hi bɪˈkeɪm ɪnˈgeɪʤd ɪn ə ˈvərbəl ˌɑltərˈkeɪʃən wɪθ ə meɪl, huz neɪm ɪz ˈɔlsoʊ biɪŋ wɪθˈhɛld. ðə ˈkɑnflɪkt ˈɛskəˌleɪtɪd ənˈtɪl ðə ˈjəŋgər mæn strək ðə ˈvɪktɪm ɪn ðə hɛd wɪθ ə ˈskruˌdraɪvər, ðə ˈɔfɪsərz sɛd. pəˈlis sɛd ðə ˈvɪktɪm rɪfˈjuzd ˈtritmənt fər ðə ˌlæsərˈeɪʃən frəm ˌpɛrəˈmɛdɪks ɔn ðə sin, ˈsteɪtɪŋ hi wʊd draɪv hɪmˈsɛlf tɪ ˈmərsi ˈhɑˌspɪtəl ˈæftər ðə geɪm, wɪʧ hi dɪd wəns ɪt ˈfɪnɪʃt æt ˈloʊkəl taɪm. noʊ ərˈɛst həz bɪn meɪd jɛt ɪn ðə ˈɪnsədənt, ə ˈspoʊkspərsən toʊld ðə ˈgɑrdiən ɔn ˈθərzˌdeɪ ˌæftərˈnun. ðə ˈpɛŋgwənz dɪˈfitɪd ðə blu ˈʤækɪts tɪ steɪk ə lɛd ɪn ðə ˈsɪriz.
feminist ryan, evidently, is not just a meme, but real life ryan, who not only appreciates women, but correctly believes they are better than men. speaking to the evening standard, explained how he is aware of the male gaze and the way women are often objectified. “it’s our time as men to be on the receiving end of the stick,”, 35, said. “i grew up with women so always been aware of it. when my mother and i walked to the grocery store, men would circle the block in cars. it was very scary, especially as a young boy. very predatory; a hunt.” the canadian actor has plenty of women in his life to be inspired by, with girlfriend eva mendes and their two daughters, old and newborn amada. of all questions, when asked what per cent women he is, thoughtfully responded, “i’d say 49 per cent, sometimes 47 per cent, it depends on what day you catch me.” “i think women are better than men,” he continued. “they are stronger. more evolved. you can tell especially when you have daughters and you see their early stages, they are just leaps and bounds beyond boys immediately. always liked women more. i was brought up by my mother and older sister. i found my way into dance class. my home life now is mostly women. they are better than us. they make me better.” gosling is also crossing his fingers for a female president and, one might assume, prime minister: “i think it needs a touch.” ‘cause hey girl, ryan not only knows better than him but is always here for you.	ˈfɛmənɪst raɪən, ˈɛvədəntli, ɪz nɑt ʤɪst ə mim, bət ril laɪf raɪən, hu nɑt ˈoʊnli əˈpriʃiˌeɪts ˈwɪmən, bət kərˈɛktli bɪˈlivz ðeɪ ər ˈbɛtər ðən mɛn. ˈspikɪŋ tɪ ðə ˈivnɪŋ ˈstændərd, ɪkˈspleɪnd haʊ hi ɪz əˈwɛr əv ðə meɪl geɪz ənd ðə weɪ ˈwɪmən ər ˈɔfən objectified. ɑr taɪm ɛz mɛn tɪ bi ɔn ðə rɪˈsivɪŋ ɛnd əv ðə stick,”,”, 35 sɛd. gru əp wɪθ ˈwɪmən soʊ ˈɔlˌweɪz bɪn əˈwɛr əv ɪt. wɪn maɪ ˈməðər ənd aɪ wɔkt tɪ ðə ˈgroʊsəri stɔr, mɛn wʊd ˈsərkəl ðə blɑk ɪn kɑz. ɪt wɑz ˈvɛri ˈskɛri, əˈspɛʃəli ɛz ə jəŋ bɔɪ. ˈvɛri ˈprɛdəˌtɔri; ə hunt.”.” ðə kəˈneɪdiən ˈæktər həz ˈplɛnti əv ˈwɪmən ɪn hɪz laɪf tɪ bi ˌɪnˈspaɪərd baɪ, wɪθ ˈgərlˌfrɛnd ˈivə ˈmeɪndɛs ənd ðɛr tu ˈdɔtərz, oʊld ənd ˈnubɔrn amada. əv ɔl kˈwɛsʧənz, wɪn æst wət pər sɛnt ˈwɪmən hi ɪz, ˈθɔtfəli rɪˈspɑndɪd, seɪ 49 pər sɛnt, ˈsəmˌtaɪmz 47 pər sɛnt, ɪt dɪˈpɛndz ɔn wət deɪ ju kæʧ me.”.” θɪŋk ˈwɪmən ər ˈbɛtər ðən men,”,” hi kənˈtɪnjud. ər ˈstrɔŋgər. mɔr ɪˈvɑlvd. ju kən tɛl əˈspɛʃəli wɪn ju hæv ˈdɔtərz ənd ju si ðɛr ˈərli ˈsteɪʤɪz, ðeɪ ər ʤɪst lips ənd baʊndz bɪɔnd bɔɪz ˌɪˈmiˌdiətli. ˈɔlˌweɪz laɪkt ˈwɪmən mɔr. aɪ wɑz brɔt əp baɪ maɪ ˈməðər ənd ˈoʊldər ˈsɪstər. aɪ faʊnd maɪ weɪ ˈɪntu dæns klæs. maɪ hoʊm laɪf naʊ ɪz ˈmoʊstli ˈwɪmən. ðeɪ ər ˈbɛtər ðən ˈjuˈɛs. ðeɪ meɪk mi better.”.” ɪz ˈɔlsoʊ ˈkrɔsɪŋ hɪz ˈfɪŋgərz fər ə ˈfiˌmeɪl ˈprɛzɪdənt ənd, wən maɪt əˈsum, praɪm ˈmɪnɪstər: θɪŋk ɪt nidz ə touch.”.” heɪ gərl, raɪən nɑt ˈoʊnli noʊz ˈbɛtər ðən ɪm bət ɪz ˈɔlˌweɪz hir fər ju.
pupil at boarding school is jailed after stabbing fellow student twice in a row over soy sauce langley school in loddon, norfolk, rocked by violent episode minheng he, now 18, struck after boy refused to lend him the condiment victim was stabbed twice and lost two pints of blood he, of hendon, north london, locked up for four years in young offenders' institute a pupil at a boarding school has been jailed after stabbing another student twice in a row over soy sauce. minheng he, a boarder at langley school in loddon, norfolk, attacked the boy last october, inflicting serious wounds to his elbow and shoulder which caused him to lose two pints of blood. he, 17 at the time but now 18, was locked up at norwich crown court yesterday after admitting wounding with intent. violent: he, 18, has been jailed for four years in a young offenders; institute after stabbing a fellow pupil at langley school in loddon, norfolk, after a row about a bottle of soy sauce judge nicholas coleman gave the chinese thug four years in a young offenders' institute. the judge said he had carried out a 'serious pre-meditated' attack on an 'innocent unarmed victim' whose injuries were 'appalling'. judge coleman said: 'you armed yourself with a knife. 'this was a revenge attack - it was planned out of revenge.' andrew shaw, prosecuting, said the victim, who was not named, was preparing a meal with a fellow student at the school at about last october 7 before going to the boarding quarters to eat it. mr shaw said he went in and 'wanted to borrow some soy sauce which was refused'. the row flared when the pupil refused to lend he a bottle of soy sauce the victim then asked he how much he was going to pay for it. the boy meant it as a joke but the chinese student was not amused and the two boys exchanged angry words. shocked heard he tell his victim to 'wait where he was' before he ran off upstairs. but nothing happened until he stormed into the boy's room at about that night as he did his homework. the victim asked him to leave three times. mr shaw said: 'the next thing he advanced quickly towards him with something in his hand.' the victim then 'backed himself in towards the corner of the room where the defendant stabbed him'. mr shaw said the terrified teenager 'turned his back and raised his arm to try and defend himself' and managed to push he away. but he had already been knifed in his left arm and shoulder. he was later seen nearby 'shouting and screaming'. the agitated was breathing heavily and holding a knife with blood on the handle. he, of hendon, north london, was also heard to say 'i don't care any more'. mr shaw said the fact the stabbing happened three hours after the soy sauce was crucial as it 'shows an element of pre-meditation'. staff dashed to the scene and he told one teacher he had acted because his target had insulted his mum. the knifeman, who injured his own hand in the attack, was driven to hospital by a teacher to get treatment. the victim was also taken to hospital and received emergency treatment for two stab wounds that went all the way to the bone in his left shoulder and left elbow. he lost two pints of blood in the savage assault. jonathan goodman, defending, said he should be given credit for his guilty plea and was of 'hitherto good character'. scene of the crime: langley school in loddon, norfolk, which charges a year for boarders mr goodman said the 'gifted mathematician' had gone to norfolk to learn english. he said he had no family support network and was one of only two chinese students who spoke mandarin - the rest speaking cantonese - until the other then moved on. mr goodman said this meant that he, who found out his mother had ovarian cancer when he returned to china for his holidays, was left 'isolated, alone and vulnerable'. he said he was 'extraordinarily remorseful' and is 'simply stunned by his own actions and what he did'. judge coleman told he he must serve half his sentence before being released on licence. speaking after the case, dominic findlay, of langley school, said: 'we're glad that the whole incident and ordeal is over. 'for us the fact the victim and staff were not needed for the case because of a guilty plea meant the right decision was reached.' langley is a day and boarding school. the school charges and day fees.	ˈpjupəl æt ˈbɔrdɪŋ skul ɪz ʤeɪld ˈæftər ˈstæbɪŋ ˈfɛloʊ ˈstudənt twaɪs ɪn ə roʊ ˈoʊvər sɔɪ sɔs ˈlæŋli skul ɪn loddon, ˈnɔrfək, rɑkt baɪ ˈvaɪələnt ˈɛpɪˌsoʊd hi, naʊ 18 strək ˈæftər bɔɪ rɪfˈjuzd tɪ lɛnd ɪm ðə ˈkɑndəmənt ˈvɪktɪm wɑz stæbd twaɪs ənd lɔst tu paɪnts əv bləd hi, əv ˈhɛndoʊn, nɔrθ ˈləndən, lɑkt əp fər fɔr jɪrz ɪn jəŋ əˈfɛndərz' ˈɪnstɪˌtut ə ˈpjupəl æt ə ˈbɔrdɪŋ skul həz bɪn ʤeɪld ˈæftər ˈstæbɪŋ əˈnəðər ˈstudənt twaɪs ɪn ə roʊ ˈoʊvər sɔɪ sɔs. hi, ə ˈbɔrdər æt ˈlæŋli skul ɪn loddon, ˈnɔrfək, əˈtækt ðə bɔɪ læst ɑkˈtoʊbər, ˌɪnˈflɪktɪŋ ˈsɪriəs wundz tɪ hɪz ˈɛlˌboʊ ənd ˈʃoʊldər wɪʧ kɔzd ɪm tɪ luz tu paɪnts əv bləd. hi, 17 æt ðə taɪm bət naʊ 18 wɑz lɑkt əp æt ˈnɔrwɪʧ kraʊn kɔrt ˈjɛstərˌdeɪ ˈæftər ədˈmɪtɪŋ ˈwundɪŋ wɪθ ˌɪnˈtɛnt. ˈvaɪələnt: hi, 18 həz bɪn ʤeɪld fər fɔr jɪrz ɪn ə jəŋ əˈfɛndərz; ˈɪnstɪˌtut ˈæftər ˈstæbɪŋ ə ˈfɛloʊ ˈpjupəl æt ˈlæŋli skul ɪn loddon, ˈnɔrfək, ˈæftər ə roʊ əˈbaʊt ə ˈbɑtəl əv sɔɪ sɔs ʤəʤ ˈnɪkələs ˈkoʊlmən geɪv ðə ʧaɪˈniz θəg fɔr jɪrz ɪn ə jəŋ əˈfɛndərz' ˈɪnstɪˌtut. ðə ʤəʤ sɛd hi hæd ˈkɛrid aʊt ə 'ˈsɪriəs pre-meditated' əˈtæk ɔn ən 'ˈɪnəsənt əˈnɑrmd ˈvɪktɪm' huz ˈɪnʤəriz wər 'əˈpɔlɪŋ'. ʤəʤ ˈkoʊlmən sɛd: 'ju ɑrmd ˈjɔrsɛlf wɪθ ə naɪf.

tokyo toward 2020 shibuya is undergoing a major transformation ahead of the olympic games to be hosted in tokyo in 2020. the huge redevelopment project will reshape the area around station, known to many as a cultural hub and home to the famed scramble crossing and hachikō statue, giving it a brand-new feel. bringing a new look to tokyo’s bustling neighborhood of has a reputation as a fashion and hub, drawing hordes of visitors from around japan and further afield. easily recognized for its lively and scramble crossing, the area around station is undergoing a massive makeover ahead of the olympic and paralympic games in 2020 that will reshape the look and feel of one of the most popular cultural and consumer enclaves. the long-term project has already been underway for some time, and once complete it will provide with a new skyline of buildings and also significantly bolster the infrastructure. heralded as a undertaking, the renovation is scheduled to be mostly completed in time to greet the influx of tourists and other visitors expected to descend on tokyo for the olympic and paralympic games in the summer of 2020. shibuya station, a pulsing commuter hub housing a complex tangle of nine train and subway lines, is set to undergo a major revamp that will make it easier for travelers to navigate the sprawling terminal. as one of the first steps, in 2013 the tōkyū line was moved from the second floor to the fifth underground level, where it now connects to the tokyo line. heading the relocation were line operator tōkyū corporation and its affiliate, land corporation. the-based firms are key players in the redevelopment, overseeing a grand total of seven projects in the overhaul that aims to transform the station area into a hub of business and entertainment. progress was already evident in 2012, when the tape was cut on the, a multipurpose on the east side of the station whose facilities include offices and a theater. the redevelopment of the station district involves top japanese architectural firms & associates, sekkei, and sanaa. along with overhauls to the aging terminal, the project will include as a centerpiece a new multipurpose skyscraper adjacent to station. set for completion in 2019, the structure will extend 46 floors above ground and 7 below and will dominate the east side of the station, towering over the adjacent by nearly 50 meters. it will be joined by several commercial buildings above and to the west of the station that will be part of the second phase of construction scheduled for completion in 2027. the station will be topped with one of largest observation decks. hovering 230 meters in the air, the expansive rooftop space is almost guaranteed to become a tourist attraction, offering a panoramic view of tokyo, including the scramble crossing and surrounding area, park and the skyline to the north, and and the central business area to the east, not to mention mount fuji to the west on clear days. a hub for train and bus travel the redevelopment of the station area will improve how people get in and out of. one of the most notable changes will be to hachikō square, with the famed meeting spot near the west exit expanding by roughly half its current size. to accommodate the extension, the terminal taxi stand will move underground. the gently rising area near the station, also on the west side, will be the site of a new building featuring a bus terminal offering coach service to and from haneda and narita airports. it will be located closer to the station than the current terminal, significantly improving access between rail and road transport. the building will have a variety of services aimed at travelers, including an area to store and deliver luggage, a money exchange counter, and a tourism office. shibuya station is also getting a makeover that will bolster safety and improve convenience. as part of remodeling, the saikyō line will be moved north 350 meters so it lies parallel to the line, while the currently separate platforms of the latter will be rebuilt as an island with the north- and trains arriving on either side. the tokyo metro ginza line will also shift 130 meters east from its current location above the lines, bringing it closer to, and ending the sight of the yellow subway carriages plying the rails above congested meiji-dōri. this shuffling of rail lines will be carried out together with the construction of a new underground plaza at the east exit of the station. once completed, commuters will be able to swiftly transfer between the raised, ginza, and keiō lines and the tōkyū, den’entoshi, hanzōmon, and lines lower down. the smooth flow of people will be made possible by an array of escalators and elevators at the east exit. the river, now little more than a chute, will be redirected through the area, and a large catchment will be built to protect the station area from heavy rainfall. reviving the river amid the flurry of construction, concerns remain that may become overly organized and lose the energetic jumble that is its trademark today. such worries may be premature, though, as planners of the project have been careful to keep the chaotic scramble crossing intact and have avoided design aspects for new buildings. as an example, stream, a new building in the station south area scheduled to open in autumn 2018, will be flanked by a walkway along the banks of the river. there will be trees along the entire length of the footpath, creating a unique among the buildings. such developments represent a turnaround from the dominant tone when tokyo last hosted the olympic games in 1964. at that time japan was in the middle of a period of high economic growth that saw the metropolis entomb its rivers in concrete as it rushed to build roads and highways. aware of this history, the planners of the redevelopment project have begun to reverse the damage and return a water environment to the city. attracting creative talent during the it bubble in the latter half of the 1990s, built a reputation as answer to silicon valley, attracting venture firms that were drawn by the free and easy atmosphere. by the mid-2000s, however, leading it companies had migrated from’s “bit play on the technical term as well as on “bitter,” one meaning of the character in the other areas around tokyo. a primary cause of this exodus was’s scant office space. listings tended to be small and lacked the sprawling infrastructure standard in larger office buildings, making them unattractive to startups looking to take off. to woo back major market players and cutting-edge tech firms, planners aim to construct a whopping square meters of new office space, including square meters in the station area alone. special attention has been given to including design aspects that reflect’s distinct feel while also appealing to creative workers. as an illustration, stream will offer more than 20 floors of spacious offices that can easily be adapted to the needs of tenants, and its lobby will include a ceiling arch designed after the iconic patterns of the old roof. there will also be an area on the fourth floor with shared work spaces and compact offices for incubating startups. along with the redevelopment project, the building, a epicenter of fashion and youth culture, is set to be reborn in 2019. the commercial building will feature floors of retail space, a multipurpose theater, and facilities for nurturing the next generation of creators and entrepreneurs. there is also cast, a newly opened complex next to park north of station that is designed with creative workers in mind. along with shops and offices, the first and second floors of the building are occupied by co-lab, a space with location around the tokyo area, and its upper stories have shared living spaces and serviced apartments. symbolic of its creative ethos, the building sits at the head of cat street, a narrow lane that winds northward through the subculture and street fashion center of harajuku. as cast illustrates, the area around station is undergoing a transformation that will remake it into a hub for tourism, business, and innovation.

perry's houston prayer summit blurs lines between church and state perry's upcoming prayer event draws sharp criticism expressing objections on a variety of religious and cultural grounds, some opponents have organized a protest on facebook, while others are urging the nation's 49 other governors invited by perry to boycott the event. to host the reliant park event, perry chose the american family association, a nonprofit that operates a network of 192 radio stations with 2 million followers that has been labeled a "hate group" by the southern poverty law center for what the calls the dissemination of "known falsehoods" about homosexuality. the also has called for numerous boycotts against companies and entities it says "promote the homosexual agenda." critics also accused perry of using a religious event to boost a possible presidential bid. "i want to be clear that my criticism of the governor doesn't stem from my lack of appreciation for religion, rather it comes from my deep respect for religion and from not wanting religion to be for political purposes," said c. welton gaddy, a baptist minister and president of the washington, interfaith alliance. "i think the people of texas elected him to be the governor of the state, not the pastor of the state." gaddy also expressed concern that perry is organizing an event that "is not just distinctively christian, but would be exclusionary of non-christians. what got my attention is the close proximity between him talking about the run for the presidency and the critical condition of our nation all defined in pretty much policy issues." the website for the event, dubbed "the response," includes a statement from perry: "right now, america is in crisis: we have been besieged by financial debt, terrorism, and a multitude of natural disasters. as a nation, we must come together and call upon jesus to guide us through unprecedented struggles, and thank him for the blessings of freedom we so richly enjoy." mustafaa carroll, of the council on relations in houston, said he regretted that the service would be strictly christian. "we're down with the prayer part," carroll said. "i just wish they would join other people in the prayer. it would be more productive to ask the whole community." several gay rights organizations also decried perry's partnership with the. "governor perry's decision to work with such blatantly groups on an event billed as a day of prayer is disturbing," said joe solmonese, president of the human rights campaign, the nation's largest gay rights organization. "governor perry has called on governors from all other states to join him in recognizing the day of prayer. is calling on governors across the nation to not support the august event, and take a stand against the hijacking of religious values by those who actively work to suppress americans." 'hate group' label denied noel freeman, head of the houston political caucus, said his organization did not take offense with "the event itself. if governor perry wants to have a prayer event, that's his prerogative. the thing we take exception to is that his primary partner in this is an hate group. they are primarily known for that fact. this was not a secret to either governor perry or his staff." tim wildmon, president of the american family association, rejected the label of "hate group" and characterized his organization's position on homosexuality as representative "of a lot of people who have traditional values." "they want somebody to speak for them," he said. "we try to do that. we are reaching the christian community with the truth about what is going on in our country." he acknowledged that a stated purpose of the august prayer event initiated by perry - to pray for an end to the "debasement of our culture" - refers to the increasing acceptance of homosexuality by american society. accused of defamation mark, director of the southern poverty law center's intelligence report, said the - through blogs and radio programs - willfully disseminates falsehoods about gays and lesbians. "this is a group that has repeatedly defamed gay men with the falsehood claiming that gay men molest children at rates far higher than heterosexuals. and this is provably, scientifically false," he said, citing research by the american pediatric association and the american psychiatric association. "this has been well-known for many, many years. so our feeling, the american family association is either consciously lying or has absolutely failed to do any kind of due diligence as it engages in the personal defamation of gay men in this country." catherine frazier, a spokeswoman for perry, defended the governor's association with. "the american family association is an organization devoted to faith and strong families," she said. "we are pleased to have them as a sponsor for the event." she also denied that the event was politically motivated, saying perry simply felt it was important to bring people together in prayer. potok said the earned the "hate group" label based largely on the writings and radio program of bryan fischer, the's director of issue analysis for government and public policy. "he claims that gay people are responsible for the nazi party's murder of 6 million jews. this is utterly false," said. fischer could not be reached for comment, but in a youtube video of a radio program discussion of hitler, he states "virtually all of the brown shirts were male homosexuals" because hitler found them to be especially vicious warriors. fischer also has asserted that gays should not be allowed to hold public office. eric bearse, spokesman for the prayer event, said organizers did not take into consideration the fact that houston mayor parker is a lesbian. mayor's response parker on wednesday said she was aware of the's history, but she declined to criticize the event.

the discovery of dinosaur dna is many a dream. the idea of finding dna within extinct animals has an air of mystery and discovery that is just ridiculously appealing, whether 5, 50, a teacher, palaeontologist, or cab driver. i think this is part of human nature, where we always seem to have a longing for what we have, and one thing never have are the things that have been lost to ages long past. a jurassic dinosaur resurrection, although currently being somewhat attempted by scientists in japan (so heard) through a process of engineering with chickens, (yeah), is pretty much out the window. for starters, blood sucking insects just exist back then, and there are probably a tonne of genetic issues that would make a dna scientist genetic-hulk-smash. dna also last for very long been lucky enough to extract a few small strands from frozen mammoths no more than a few tens of thousands of years old, as dna degrades faster than a interest when you start asking them what they think about the use of impact factors in academia…. (what?) what we can find though, are the molecular traces of dna and all the associated gooey bio-bits, but it takes a bit of technical know-how and some machine wizardry, as well as someone to lend you a dinosaur bone for a bit. a team of researchers have added the cherry on the cake to a triple whammy of awesome dino discoveries; as if finding traces of dinosaur blood vessels, (common, cells in mature bone), and fibrous bone matrix in dinosaurs like tyrannosaurus rex enough, now gone and found multiple lines of evidence that support the presence of proteins in dinosaur bone, as well as dna! if you think about it, this is actually the first genuine proof there is that dinosaurs just mysterious rocks in the ground (although the evidence was always slightly skewed), but actually once living, breathing animals, like you or me (unless a spambot, in which case, shoo!). osteocytes have numerous roles within bone, from sensory functions to providing maintenance. during fossilisation, it is assumed that the structures these form are emptied after death during the degradation (rotting) processes, or with some sort of mineral. however, more recent work by the same team showed that if you removed the mineral from dinosaur bone, it actually releases that are consistent with the morphology of. however, this correspondence does not mean that they are; the fossil record and the ravages of time play host to a number of biological, chemical, and geological interactions that all conspire to deform the original structures and of fossil organisms. so you need some sort of chemical fingerprint that can confirm whether or not these are actually, and exactly what schweitzer and her team set out to do. previous research by the team has demonstrated the presence of collagen, a protein that enhances tissue structure in animals, using chemical analyses of fossils of tyrannosaurus rex and canadensis. using the same methods and dinosaurs, the team looked at the structures and structures that are similar in form to blood vessels. the analysis had to be more targeted at proteins associated with in animals, as often the more stable and readily preserved proteins such as actin and can show similarities to other vertebrates and even microbes. to prepare the remains of the cretaceous beasties, first they had to be using acid (and breathe), with the fragments bearing the structures then to concentrate parts and remove any debris. as a control experiment, the team repeated this analysis for the sediment from whence the dinosaur fossils came, as well as for their extant relatives, the ostrich and alligator, but removing all the collagen first to allow the to be released. using various forms of microscopy, the team could then look at the in high detail, and found that the dinosaur ones are indeed similar to those in the ostrich and alligator. they were three dimensional, and had these cool radiating that make them look a bit like deformed horse chestnut shells. additionally, the team found that when they applied a test to locate dna in the dinosaurs, the test responded positively and identified the structural ghosts of dna within the dinosaur ‘cells’! theirs is no direct evidence that this dna is actually from the organism itself (endogenous), but still, pretty freakin’ sweet. the evidence for this was supported by the use of two different chemical stains, which showed that dna structures were present in both t. rex and b. canadensis. the staining is less intense than in modern cells (e.g., with ostriches), but importantly shows the same pattern and as dna. one of these stains is called dapi, or dihydrochloride, you know, for convenience. these stains also rule out the possibilities of the representing some sort of (bacterial origin). on to the chemical analysis, the team used mass spectrometry, a method that determines the masses of the molecules within a sample, which in turn can be used to identify their composition. both dinosaurs contained peptides (amino acids) from actin and (proteins). it also detected the proteins known as in both the dinosaur samples, adding more evidence to the structural presence of dna, and from a source that is not related to microbes or microbial activity. this combined structural and chemical evidence strongly suggests that what the team were looking at was in fact the remains of dna entombed within! whether or not this dna is explicitly of origin cannot be determined however without sequence data. worry though, the authors actually state that with enough ‘affinity purification’ with the use of specific antibodies may lead to sufficient and pure enough amounts of dna to test using (cheap, fast, big data) sequencing. i think i just everywhere. however, (again), due to the low positive reaction of the dinosaur cells (these are definitely dinosaur cells, the dna in them that is questionable) there may not be enough to recover sufficient amounts of usable dna. one final thing did anyone here about this in the media?! also, karen james (@kejames) did this awesome five version of the abstract to explain it in the ten hundred most common words. pretty amazing! reference: schweitzer, m. h., zheng, w., cleland, t. p. and bern, m.

northeastern illinois university is taking a big gamble: that if it finally builds housing, it can reverse declining student enrollment. but the way the going about this has upset some neighbors. the university plans to acquire the properties through eminent domain, leaving owners on one block of w bryn mawr ave. with little say in the matter. depending on speaking, the 3400 block of w bryn mawr ave. could be described as “sleepy,” “stagnant,” or “depressed.” but nearly every storefront is occupied. on the south side sit a chinese restaurant, dental clinic, hair salon, and cafe. on the north side, a travel agency, real estate agency, bank, and. on a recent morning, two surveyors were casing the street. they said they were there for “the university,” measuring the dimensions of the buildings and their properties. the information could go into an appraisal of the properties’ values. “my grandfather developed this building in 1954 and built it from the ground up,” dolly tong said, about her property at 3411 w bryn mawr, which now houses a chinese restaurant called hunan wok. tong and her siblings were raised in the apartment above the restaurant space, and she still lives there with her elderly mother, whom she describes as severely disabled. tong said she and her siblings are only able to care for their mother with the rent they receive from leasing out the restaurant. so last winter, when they received a letter from stating that it intended to acquire the property for some compensation, she was devastated. “we’re already feeling now this impending doom that going to take away our legacy,” she said. “it’s really hard.” stay with the latest news, stories and insider events. please enter a valid email address oops, something went wrong! sign up try again you've signed up to receive emails. please check your email for a welcome confirmation. five other property owners are facing the same prospect, including the parents of john. his family owns the parcels just east of tong’s. said when his family received their letter from, he accompanied his parents to speak with a university lawyer about it. they told the lawyer they want to sell. “and he goes, ‘well, the university wants it, and going to eventually end up getting it,’” recalled. “and when i paused and i looked at him and i said, ‘well, how can you guys use eminent domain?’ and as i said that i realized the university is owned by the state.” eminent domain is the right of a government to take private property for its own use. it has to offer those property owners compensation. but, tong, and other property owners say’s offer was pitiful. and they all want to know the same thing: why the university build on property it already owns? “i think it is a really good question,” said dr. sharon hahs, president of. hahs said a 2008 student housing feasibility study identified a second site for student housing, in addition to the block on bryn mawr ave. it sits on foster ave., on the south end of the campus, by the athletic fields. “the answer lies somewhat in what is the most help to the community sooner,” said hahs. the university is planning two large multi- use buildings -- one on each side of bryn mawr. the ground floor would feature new retail and restaurants. above those, enough dorm rooms would be built to fit 500 beds. hahs hopes the project will set off a domino effect of revitalization, extending east down bryn mawr. “we need to change the character of the neighborhood,” hahs said. “it is economically depressed. and something will have to change for that to occur.” while the university frames its decision as a desire to inject some economic pep into the slumbering park neighborhood, also about the survival. last fall, enrollment dipped below for the first time since 2001. hahs is focused on reversing that by recruiting a greater number of students from more than fifty miles away. but she said that work if the university does not offer housing for them to live in, or the amenities of a lively, young neighborhood. the plan threatens to split the community into two camps. for tucker, who owns a home several blocks west of, this has been a long time coming. “my husband and i purchased the property here in part because it was so close to northeastern and north park university,” she said, “and we wanted that university town vibe.” but many other residents, who live in closer proximity to the proposed development, fear student dorms could change the character of their neighborhood for the worse. both sides have hired lawyers, and tong is spearheading a coalition of business and property owners against the property takeover. litigation could mean it will be years before anything really happens. but quietly, many property owners concede that unless voluntarily backs off the plan, they suspect this will be a losing fight. odette yousef is north side bureau reporter. follow her and @wbezoutloud.	ˌnɔrˈθistərn ˌɪləˈnɔɪz ˌjunəˈvərsəti ɪz ˈteɪkɪŋ ə bɪg ˈgæmbəl: ðət ɪf ɪt ˈfaɪnəli bɪldz ˈhaʊzɪŋ, ɪt kən rɪˈvərs dɪˈklaɪnɪŋ ˈstudənt ɛnˈroʊlmənt. bət ðə weɪ ðə goʊɪŋ əˈbaʊt ðɪs həz ˈəpˌsɛt səm ˈneɪbərz. ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti plænz tɪ əkˈwaɪər ðə ˈprɑpərtiz θru ˈɛmənənt doʊˈmeɪn, ˈlivɪŋ ˈoʊnərz ɔn wən blɑk əv ˈdəbəlju brɪn mɔər ˈɑˌveɪ. wɪθ ˈlɪtəl seɪ ɪn ðə ˈmætər. dɪˈpɛndɪŋ ɔn ˈspikɪŋ, ðə 3400 blɑk əv ˈdəbəlju brɪn mɔər ˈɑˌveɪ. kʊd bi dɪˈskraɪbd ɛz ““sleepy,”,” ““stagnant,”,” ər ““depressed.”.” bət ˈnɪrli ˈɛvəri ˈstɔrˌfrɑnt ɪz ˈɑkjəˌpaɪd. ɔn ðə saʊθ saɪd sɪt ə ʧaɪˈniz ˈrɛˌstrɑnt, ˈdɛntəl ˈklɪnɪk, hɛr səˈlɑn, ənd kəˈfeɪ. ɔn ðə nɔrθ saɪd, ə ˈtrævəl ˈeɪʤənsi, ril ɛˈsteɪt ˈeɪʤənsi, bæŋk, ənd ɔn ə ˈrisənt ˈmɔrnɪŋ, tu ˌsərˌveɪərz wər ˈkeɪsɪŋ ðə strit. ðeɪ sɛd ðeɪ wər ðɛr fər university,”,” ˈmɛʒərɪŋ ðə dɪˈmɛnʃənz əv ðə ˈbɪldɪŋz ənd ðɛr ˈprɑpərtiz. ðə ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən kʊd goʊ ˈɪntu ən əˈpreɪzəl əv ðə properties’’ ˈvæljuz. ˈgrænˌfɑðər dɪˈvɛləpt ðɪs ˈbɪldɪŋ ɪn 1954 ənd bɪlt ɪt frəm ðə graʊnd up,”,” ˈdɑli tɔŋ sɛd, əˈbaʊt hər ˈprɑpərti æt 3411 ˈdəbəlju brɪn mɔər, wɪʧ naʊ ˈhaʊsɪz ə ʧaɪˈniz ˈrɛˌstrɑnt kɔld ˈhunɑn wɑk. tɔŋ ənd hər ˈsɪblɪŋz wər reɪzd ɪn ðə əˈpɑrtmənt əˈbəv ðə ˈrɛˌstrɑnt speɪs, ənd ʃi stɪl lɪvz ðɛr wɪθ hər ˈɛldərli ˈməðər, hum ʃi dɪˈskraɪbz ɛz səˈvɪrli dɪˈseɪbəld. tɔŋ sɛd ʃi ənd hər ˈsɪblɪŋz ər ˈoʊnli ˈeɪbəl tɪ kɛr fər ðɛr ˈməðər wɪθ ðə rɛnt ðeɪ rɪˈsiv frəm ˈlisɪŋ aʊt ðə ˈrɛˌstrɑnt. soʊ læst ˈwɪntər, wɪn ðeɪ rɪˈsivd ə ˈlɛtər frəm ˈsteɪtɪŋ ðət ɪt ˌɪnˈtɛndɪd tɪ əkˈwaɪər ðə ˈprɑpərti fər səm ˌkɑmpənˈseɪʃən, ʃi wɑz ˈdɛvəˌsteɪtɪd. ɔˈrɛdi ˈfilɪŋ naʊ ðɪs ˌɪmˈpɛndɪŋ dum ðət goʊɪŋ tɪ teɪk əˈweɪ ɑr legacy,”,” ʃi sɛd. ˈrɪli hard.”.” steɪ wɪθ ðə ˈleɪtəst nuz, ˈstɔriz ənd ˌɪnˈsaɪdər ɪˈvɛnts. pliz ˈɛnər ə ˈvælɪd iˈmeɪl ˈæˌdrɛs ups, ˈsəmθɪŋ wɛnt rɔŋ! saɪn əp traɪ əˈgɛn juv saɪnd əp tɪ rɪˈsiv iˈmeɪlz. pliz ʧɛk jʊr iˈmeɪl fər ə ˈwɛlkəm ˌkɑnfərˈmeɪʃən. faɪv ˈəðər ˈprɑpərti ˈoʊnərz ər ˈfeɪsɪŋ ðə seɪm ˈprɑspɛkt, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ðə ˈpɛrənts əv ʤɑn. hɪz ˈfæməli oʊnz ðə ˈpɑrsəlz ʤɪst ist əv tong’s. sɛd wɪn hɪz ˈfæməli rɪˈsivd ðɛr ˈlɛtər frəm, hi əˈkəmpənid hɪz ˈpɛrənts tɪ spik wɪθ ə ˌjunəˈvərsəti ˈlɔjər əˈbaʊt ɪt. ðeɪ toʊld ðə ˈlɔjər ðeɪ wɔnt tɪ sɛl. hi goʊz, ‘‘well, ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti wɔnts ɪt, ənd goʊɪŋ tɪ ɪˈvɛnʧəwəli ɛnd əp ˈgɪtɪŋ it,’”,’” rɪˈkɔld. wɪn aɪ pɔzd ənd aɪ lʊkt æt ɪm ənd aɪ sɛd, ‘‘well, haʊ kən ju gaɪz juz ˈɛmənənt domain?’?’ ənd ɛz aɪ sɛd ðət aɪ ˈriəˌlaɪzd ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti ɪz oʊnd baɪ ðə state.”.” ˈɛmənənt doʊˈmeɪn ɪz ðə raɪt əv ə ˈgəvərnmənt tɪ teɪk ˈpraɪvət ˈprɑpərti fər ɪts oʊn juz. ɪt həz tɪ ˈɔfər ðoʊz ˈprɑpərti ˈoʊnərz ˌkɑmpənˈseɪʃən. bət, tɔŋ, ənd ˈəðər ˈprɑpərti ˈoʊnərz seɪ ˈɔfər wɑz ˈpɪtəfəl. ənd ðeɪ ɔl wɔnt tɪ noʊ ðə seɪm θɪŋ: waɪ ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti bɪld ɔn ˈprɑpərti ɪt ɔˈrɛdi oʊnz?

geneva (reuters) - china is drawing on natural resources such as farm land, timber and water twice as fast as they can be renewed in its drive for development, a report from chinese and international environmentalists said on tuesday. the report said the next 20 years would be critical to correct the situation and put the asian burgeoning economy, with a rapidly growing population, on to a sustainable path. “china’s average ecological footprint has doubled since the and now demands more than two times what the ecosystems can supply,” said a summary of the report, issued by the international. it said “footprint” a measure of how much productive land and inland water resources are used up to satisfy the average current lifestyle of each member of the population was running at hectares per person. this suggested that for current billion people one sixth of the world population to sustain this rate, it would need to either double the land and water area it uses or cut back to nearer the available hectares per person. the report was commissioned jointly by the, formerly the world wide fund for nature, and the china council for international cooperation on environment and development (cciced) in beijing. chinese experts it was drawn up with the help of chinese experts by a group, the global footprint network, which works with the to produce reports on the global, regional and national ecological impact of use of resources. the network reported with the on monday that many african countries were running down their natural resources in the drive for development as their populations grow, but were still using only hectares per head, compared with the hectares available. it said the global average footprint was hectares per head significantly more than the hectares available. by 2050, the whole current rate of drawing on natural resources and disposing of waste will require an entire extra planet, report said. cciced secretary general zhu guangyao, an author of the later study, “report on ecological footprint in china”, was quoted by as saying the next 20 years would be “a critical period ... for china to realize sustainable development”. wwf said the report presented two strategies to tackle the chinese problem, starting with “easy” and “slow” measures that would be simple, cheap and popular, such as investing in clean technology and changing to light bulbs. after that, it said, china could implement a wider approach focusing on compact urban development, individual action, reducing hidden waste flows, carbon reduction strategies, land management and efficiency increases.	ʤəˈnivə (ˈrɔɪtərz) ˈʧaɪnə ɪz drɔɪŋ ɔn ˈnæʧərəl ˈrisɔrsɪz səʧ ɛz fɑrm lænd, ˈtɪmbər ənd ˈwɔtər twaɪs ɛz fæst ɛz ðeɪ kən bi rɪˈnud ɪn ɪts draɪv fər dɪˈvɛləpmənt, ə

'i don't feel blind anymore' but it was beautiful bass who stole the show when his owners swapped his harness for a collar and tie for the role. kirsty, whose sight deteriorated rapidly three years ago due to a rare eye condition, said bass has massively improved her confidence. heroic guide dog honoured: “i would never have been able to plan this wedding in the way i did without him,” said. “he has enabled me to get out and about and visit different shops. we work so well together that i feel blind any more. “i think it hit me when i took bass for a run on my own for the first time. i felt the sun on my face and realised i had the freedom to go out on my own terms instead of being stuck in the house. “i’m a better me than before i lost my sight. i now feel genuine happiness.” related: 'he was proud to be wearing it' two-year-old bass regularly accompanies to work as a complementary therapist for the cancer in blackwood where her colleagues have fallen in love with him. “my boss made him the special collar for the wedding and bass seemed to like it,” said resident. “we showed it to him before the ceremony and he wagged his tail as if he was proud to be wearing it”. related: people with sight loss in wales feel 'cut off' from their communities, charity boss warns related: the most iconic wedding day kisses remembered... for international kissing day keen met tom nearly five years ago on a night out in hereford where he was djing. “i knew there was something special about him,” said. “we both love dance music, so it was great to bring out the drum n’ bass music at the wedding. people said it was the most fun wedding been to. “i think having bass has helped our relationship. tom is no longer my carer. now able to walk down the road holding hands with bass by our side. “i want to help other young girls with sight loss and tell them you can still do normal things and enjoy life.” 'he has given independence' groom tom said bass has also made a big difference to his life. he said: “he has given independence, dignity, happiness and joy in place of isolation and loneliness, which enables us to be a couple.” the pair jetted off on holiday to turkey for their honeymoon today.	gɪt ðə ˈbɪgəst ˈdeɪli ˈstɔriz baɪ iˈmeɪl səbˈskraɪb θæŋk ju fər səbˈskraɪbɪŋ wi hæv mɔr ˈnuzˌlɛtərz ʃoʊ mi si ɑr ˈpraɪvəsi ˈnoʊtɪs kʊd nɑt səbˈskraɪb, traɪ əˈgɛn ˈleɪtər ˌɪnˈvæləd iˈmeɪl ə braɪd ˈrɛʤɪstərd blaɪnd ʤɪst θri jɪrz əˈgoʊ sɪz hər ““incredible”” gaɪd dɔg həz meɪd səʧ ən ˌɪmˈpækt ɔn hər laɪf ðət hi wɑz meɪd æt hər ˈwɛdɪŋ. ˈwɪljəmz, hu wɑz ˈgɪvɪn ˈgɔrʤəs blæk ˈlæbrəˌdɔr bæs ʤɪst ˌbiˈfɔr ˈkrɪsməs, taɪd ðə nɑt tɪ kɛr hoʊm ədˈmɪnɪˌstreɪtər tɑm ʤeɪmz æt haʊs ɪn mynach. ðə waʊd hər gɛsts wɪθ ə ˈstənɪŋ drɛs ˈkəvərd ɪn ˈkrɪstəlz.

three years ago everyone was talking about, which had begun partnering with some of the most elite colleges to offer free courses. there was overheated hype, as pundits speculated that it could be a magic bullet to bring down college costs. and there were tough questions, as people wondered what the goal was for partner colleges, and how the silicon valley company could make enough revenue on free courses to survive. today the hype has dissipated, but the leaders say has found a way to make money, and that partner colleges have found a clear reason to participate. those answers, the company announced on tuesday, were enough to convince investors to give a fresh infusion of $60 million in funds. richard c. levin, the ceo and former president of yale university, said in an interview that the new investment would be used to further expand the reach to students outside of the united states, and that it would extend the “runway” to try new experiments. so far the secret to bringing in revenue, or what mr. levin called a “product-market fit,” has been professional development. the company has created a series of courses that add up to that students can earn quickly, and pay a small fee to certify that they successfully completed them. “it’s mostly people in their and who are interested in learning more skills and making themselves prepared for better jobs,” said mr. levin. for more stories about technology and education, follow wired campus on twitter. but he insisted that the company is not pivoting to focus only on professional development. he said is still committed to offering courses as well, and that one thing the new investment will be used for will be to look for ways to make those courses more sustainable. “about half our content is career oriented and half isn’t,” he said. “one of the things thinking about would be premium content on top of [the free materials] in liberal -arts courses.” he declined to elaborate. investors were most concerned about whether colleges would stick with the project and continue to build courses, said mr. levin. but he said only one college has dropped out of the partnership, which claims 120 colleges worldwide, and that “increasingly, part of the universities’ strategy.” the biggest win for colleges: “in a way, kind of a lead generator,” he said. “there are many universities that are very well known in u.s. that are not very well known abroad, and the visibility they get through is in a way a very efficient way to reach new students.” rice university, for instance, reports that it is getting more applicants and applicants for its masters’ degree after offering a course on, he said. as for solving the problem of the high price of traditional undergraduate education: “right now not what doing.” jeffrey r. young writes about technology in education and leads a team exploring new story formats. follow him on twitter @jryoung;

“it’s just so illogical,” geller told me heatedly not long ago. “i loved him. i respected him. but the way he went after people was like a mental illness. an evil to that, a maliciousness. a traitor, a turncoat, a plant. we may not know for years what actually happened. you think he changed his mind?” a number of so-called were born out of the moment, when hanging a shingle in the still relatively blogosphere was a way of, if not doing something exactly, at least establishing a rallying point for the considerable fury of all those who longed to do something. but even if the cliché about bloggers that they presume to write knowledgeably about complex subjects without ever leaving their homes is mostly true, it mean that bloggers make things happen. perhaps the defining moment in new career came in 2004, when he was able not just to follow but to drive a major story: he was the central blogger behind what came to be known as, in which a few citizen journalists did what dan rather and the venerable cbs news lacked either the patience or the skill to do themselves check a typewritten letter supposedly from 1972, criticizing george w. military service, for authenticity. there is some dispute, even today, as to who was the first to expose the fraud behind the so-called killian documents, but johnson will forever be associated with the episode because, unlike most other bloggers who know as much about the technical workings of their medium as a poet is likely to know about a printing press he had the wherewithal to create, almost instantly, an animated image that toggled between the original letter and that same letter typed in microsoft word 32 years later, illustrating the issue in a way that no blog post could have done. the era was the golden age of l.g.f., at least in terms of traffic. johnson says that the peak was somewhere around half a million page views per day. (over the past year or so, it has averaged about that many.) but even after its peak, l.g.f. remained one of the most influential blogs in cyberspace, certainly at the conservative end of the political spectrum. it would be going too far to say that l.g.f. was a blog in those days, but even those issues on which it branched out for instance, the conflict (johnson, an agnostic and a gentile, is a fierce supporter of israel, mostly on account of the affection he developed for it as a touring musician), or the 2004 presidential election, or the patriot act were of the one concern that trumped all others: national security in the face of islamic terrorism. if the tone of writing on the blog sometimes bordered, as his detractors claimed, on hate speech, that of his mostly anonymous commenters was reliably worse. a popular blog like l.g.f. functions as a kind of id. it is not uncommon for a simple, post to accrue upward of a thousand written responses from readers. the question of how responsible he is, or should be, for these expressions of uncensored reader sentiment is one that johnson, like many bloggers, has struggled with; but in the middle years of the last decade, whether for reasons or simply because he enjoyed being the popular focal point of such strong nationalist feeling, he did very little to rein it in. muslims were described as “vermin.” the posthumous nickname st. pancake was coined for the young american activist rachel corrie, in reference to the israeli bulldozer that killed her. discussion of u.s. options included terms like “targeted genocide.” as for palestinians, “they need statehood,” offered one commenter; “they need sterilization.” and on and on. a so-called stalker blog, called l.g.f. watch, sprang up to document instances of what it considered hate speech on the part of johnson and his followers. vanity james wolcott compared site to a “disorganized nuremberg rally.” but enemies themselves are a kind of currency on the internet, and for every attack l.g.f. provoked as a place that permitted and even fostered bigotry against muslims in particular, new allies rose up to link themselves to johnson and his causes. those links were both spiritual and literal; allowing (or preventing) sites to post a link to yours, and maybe offering them a link on your own site in return, turns you into a kind of taste maker, a locus of tangible power. l.g.f. was, by 2007 or so, at the heart of a vast, amorphous grid of sites of every description, an interdependence that johnson himself had become, in a way, too popular to control. that concept of the link, in all its permutations, is the key to what happened next, both to johnson and because of him, and it says something enlightening not just about blogging but also about the nature and prospects of citizen journalism. whatever you think of him, johnson is a smart man, a gifted synthesizer of information gathered by other people. but just as for anyone in his position, there is an inevitable limit to what he can learn about places, people, political organizations, etc., without actually encountering them. instead of causes and effects, motivations and consequences, observation and behavior, his means of intellectual synthesis is, instead, the link: the indiscriminate connection established via search engine. advertisement continue reading the main story in october 2007, johnson was asked to take part in what was billed as a conference in brussels, a gathering of fewer than a hundred politicians and opinion leaders from around the world who convened to share ideas and strategies for combating the spread of militant islam. johnson was not the only writer invited geller was there, as well as robert spencer of (a web site johnson himself designed), to name two but he did not go. “i’m just not a joiner of these things,” he says. the conference finished up in brussels, and “the next day,” johnson remembers, “people were e-mailing me saying, ‘you might want to cover this.’ so i started looking into it.” he discovered that among the 90 or so participants though not among the speakers was a man named filip dewinter, a leader of a political party called, or “flemish interest.”, which has a history that reaches back to the wrong side of world war ii, has an unabashed record of inflammatory rhetoric and hateful, opportunistic verbal viciousness of all sorts; a few years ago, for example, the party announced an advertising campaign in moroccan newspapers and magazines to “discourage foreigners from coming to our country.” and as recently as 2004, it was condemned by the belgian supreme court for incitement to discrimination and racial segregation. (the party responded by changing its name.) even to most sensibilities, is certainly beyond the pale. still, whether or not dewinter, who has said that “in flanders, the multicultural society has led to a society,” is more extreme than the commenters who appeared regularly on little green footballs seems like a subject on which minds might reasonably disagree. perhaps that still happens somewhere. gray, however, is not a popular shade on the internet. it seems borderline ridiculous that the political character of an extremist belgian party, which in the last parliamentary election captured just 17 seats out of 150 in the chamber of representatives, should become the issue over which a kind of civil war among american conservatives broke out, but that is what happened. opposing “islamofascism,” johnson had come to believe, require identification with fascism of the older sort. johnson began taking shots at not only, an organization it seems safe to say the vast majority of his readers had never heard of, but also at formerly favored colleagues like spencer and geller, to whom, by attending the same conference, the european movement was now . . . linked. johnson first hinted, and eventually demanded, that they publicly distance themselves from both and the conference itself, and when they demurred, he publicly distanced himself from them. “filip dewinter has said some things i deplore,” spencer says. “but i consider myself responsible for him just because i was at this conference and he was, too. an outrageous kind of guilt by association. let me ask you this: a few years ago i spoke at a yom kippur service, and one of the other speakers was hillary clinton. does that make me a supporter or her work, or her of mine?” regardless of whether view of is correct, it is notable that the party is defined for him entirely by the trail it has left on the internet. this necessarily unfair a speech, say, given by dewinter any more or less valuable as evidence of his political positions depending on whether you read it (or watch it) on a screen or listen to it in a crowd but it does have a certain flattening effect in terms of time: that hypothetical speech exists on the internet in exactly the same way whether it was delivered in 2007 or 1997. the speaker will never put it behind him. (just as johnson, despite his very reasonable contention that he later changed his mind, will never be allowed to consign to the past a blog post he wrote in 2004 criticizing that judicial condemnation of as “a victory for european islamic supremacist groups.”) it may be difficult to travel to belgium and build the case that filip dewinter is not just a hateful character but an actual nazi (and thus that those who can be linked to him are nazi sympathizers), but sitting at your keyboard, there is no trick to it at all. not only can the past never really be erased; it co-exists, in cyberspace, with the present, and an important type of context is destroyed. this is one reason that intellectual inflexibility has become such a hallmark of modern political discourse, and why, so often, no distinction is recognized between hypocrisy and changing your mind. photo johnson broke off relations with blogs that claimed openly to owe their own existence to him. he called the syndicated columnist diana west and the investigative reporter richard fascist sympathizers. he threatened to take down michelle malkin. in some ways, it was an exploration of the limits of his own influence: all over the blogosphere, you were either with him or with the fascists. “i was such a small fish at the time,” geller said. “i realized i was basically committing blog suicide by going against him. but he was wrong.” when one of posts about the conference was picked up and incorporated in a press release by the conservative council on relations, geller called him out on atlas shrugs; he responded with a series of posts about her, the most memorable of which was titled, “pamela geller: poster girl for eurofascism.” (not that geller herself, who posted a picture of johnson in joker makeup, was exactly on the high road.) traffic at her site, she says, went down about 75 percent. “he really did put a knife in the movement, for a long time. people were running for cover. nobody wanted to go against him then. he was the king.” spencer says: “i have actually had people contact me and say, ‘i understand the american representative for.’ and that is because of johnson.” after spencer wrote last month on jihad watch that i interviewed him, johnson forwarded me several posts by other bloggers charting unsavory “associations”; one of them tried to connect him, via a chain of links that is too long even to summarize, to slobodan milosevic. the more creatively defamatory the whole dispute becomes, the further it moves from the issues around which johnson and spencer and many others have supposedly their lives. but i never got the sense that any of it was put forth by johnson, either in person or on the blog, in anything other than perfect earnestness. he came of age, as a writer and as a public figure, in the culture of damnation by link, and he does not exempt himself from its logic. newsletter sign up continue reading the main story please verify you're not a robot by clicking the box. invalid email address. please re-enter. you must select a newsletter to subscribe to. sign up you will receive emails containing news content , updates and promotions from the new york times. you may at any time. you agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times's products and services. thank you for subscribing. an error has occurred. please try again later. view all new york times newsletters. thus in retrospect it also seems clear that the blog war, with its attendant scary buzzwords (“fascist,” “racist,” “nazi”), gave johnson the intellectual cover to do something he wanted to do anyway, which was to conduct a kind of public of the alliances he acquired on the road to fame. advertisement continue reading the main story the questioning of tactics started to come not just from without l.g.f. but also from within. readers both casual and loyal spoke up in the comment threads to ask, sometimes diplomatically and sometimes not, whether all this casual flinging of epithets like “fascist” maybe an overreaction. response, in thousands of cases, was to block their accounts and ban some of them from viewing the blog. “get off my web site” was a common farewell. (johnson insists that this is not true that no one has ever been banned from l.g.f. merely for disagreeing with him but the anecdotal evidence to the contrary is voluminous, and the fact that the offending comments were instantly and permanently deleted makes it impossible to check others’ records against his.) “running a community is hard,” says markos of the liberal web site daily kos, “and i criticize people for the approaches they take in trying to control their sites. as i tell my own disgruntled commenters, if they like a comment policies, they can always find greener pastures elsewhere. a big internet.” a reasonable approach, which exiles mostly rejected. comment threads all over the blogosphere were hijacked by people sharing stories of their banishment. another stalker blog this one assailing johnson from the right sprang up, administered by banned former “lizards,” as registrants are known. johnson responded by posting those former registrants’ real names and photographs on l.g.f. an astounding breach of civility on the internet, where anonymity is often prized above all else. it was a kind of orgy of delinking, an intentionally set brush fire meant to clear the psychic area around johnson and ensure that no one would connect him to anyone else, period, unless he first said it was o.k. no one would define allegiances but johnson. of course, much of this was accomplished by the very methods he felt so threatened by: a kind of approach to political rectitude, in which the existence of even a connection between two people anywhere in the world implied a mutual back-scratching, an ideological partnership. it was unfair and simplistic and petulant, but it also seems to have achieved its goal. very few people on the right want to be linked with charles johnson anymore. no one seems to want to believe that his thinking simply changed over time and in fact he still has that much in common with his old allies, for johnson, too, insists that he really changed. his recent expressions of support for abortion rights, of contempt for creationism and the religious right all these beliefs, he told me, are elements of the “classical liberalism” he has always believed in but previously opted not to write about. why now? the answer is so heretical it seems destined to raise the among his former followers to new heights: “it’s not that the war on terror has finished,” he said. “it’s never going to be finished, but i think things have reached the point now where not as pressing as it was. some of the measures we took to protect ourselves against extremists have been pretty effective. and so i realized, you know, that maybe time to tell people that not onboard with a lot of this agenda. and i think that i actually speak for a lot of people.” though our conversation took place in the fall, he told me in a subsequent e-mail message that the failed christmas day airplane bombing “doesn’t change my opinion about that.” the flip side of the fact that his acolytes felt so close to him without ever actually knowing him is that he serves now, just as credibly, as a sort of blank screen upon which to project conspiracy theories. it has been suggested online, with a gravity that is hard to overstate, that he is a convicted child molester worried about public exposure; that he is a closeted homosexual threatened with blackmail; that he is in sexual thrall to an unnamed woman; that he is being paid by george soros; or that he is not, in fact, charles johnson at all but some sort of writing the posts from an undisclosed location. anything, apparently, seems if not more credible then certainly less hurtful than the opinion that the threat of terrorism on american soil is no longer so imminent that other disputes should be by it. many on the internet cite as evidence that johnson is in some dire need of money the fact that his blog is rife with advertisements an argument that has a certain yogi berra quality to it, as most blogs can only dream of attracting his levels of revenue. also popular is the theory that he did it only for the traffic, that he believes in nothing but the centrality of charles johnson and thus, seeing which way the political winds were blowing, that he betrayed his principles in order to remain in the spotlight. the problem with that theory is that the long-term decline in traffic, which its detractors delight in pointing out, began almost exactly at the moment two years ago when johnson started turning on his allies and banning skeptical readers. if he was indeed panicked about loss of traffic to the site, blocking individual computers from being able to load his home page seems like an extraordinary way to reverse that. but perhaps i am, as many suggested to me, just another liberal dupe. perhaps i even fell for the pretense that johnson lives in the modest home where i visited him, which bore none of the trappings his supposed sellout would suggest. the u.p.s. man who delivered packages to his door while i was there, and his truck, may have been hired for the day just to snow me; the decidedly woman he introduced to me as his fiancée, who brought us water and fruit as we talked in his small home office, may have been a member of the trilateral commission. it would be just like a representative of the mainstream media to get caught believing his eyes like that. advertisement continue reading the main story the soundest conclusion seems to be that he has indeed changed his mind less about issues (though there are a few, global warming chief among them, on which he will admit to having gradually reversed positions) than about the people with whom he is willing to share the stage, or, perhaps, about his willingness to share the stage at all. not that changing your mind, even in political environment, makes you into some kind of intellectual hero. people change their minds all the time, for all kinds of reasons. no one ever said l.g.f., or any blog, had to be about the free exchange of ideas. “it’s his sandbox,” pamela geller says simply. “he can do whatever he wants.” still, if you read l.g.f. today, you will find it hard to miss the paradox that a site whose origins, and whose greatest crisis, were rooted in opposition to totalitarianism now reads at times like a blog version of “animal farm.” johnson seems obsessed with what others think of him, posting much more often than he used to about references to himself elsewhere on the internet and breaking into comment threads (a recent one was about the relative merits of top- versus washing machines) to call commenters’ attention to yet another attack on him that was posted at some other site. on the home page, you can click to see the top 10 comments of the day, as voted on by registered users; typically, half of those comments will be from johnson himself. even longtime commenters have been disappeared for one wrong remark, or one too many, and when it comes to wondering where they went or why, a kind of fearful obtains. he has banned readers because he has seen them commenting on other sites of which he does not approve. he is, as he reminds them, always watching. l.g.f. still has more than registered users, but the comment threads are dominated by the same two dozen or so names. and a handful of those have been empowered by johnson sub rosa to watch as well to delete critical comments and, if necessary, to recommend the offenders for banishment. it is a cult of personality not that any compelling reason, really, that it or any blog should be presumed to be anything else. “this is one area where i did change,” johnson admitted. “i realized you just let it be free speech. it work that way on the internet. total free speech is a recipe for anarchy when people see each other.” in the last day of november, johnson delivered the final blow to his old alliances. in a post that he said took him about three minutes to write, he listed 10 reasons “why i parted ways with the right.” the “reasons” themselves amounted to little more than laundry lists: “support for conspiracy theories and hate speech (see: alex jones, rush limbaugh, glenn beck, birthers, creationists, climate deniers, etc.),” for instance. in the voluminous comment thread attached, johnson was characteristically interested less in discussing the break itself than in discussing the reaction to it calling readers’ attention to the number of times it was “re-tweeted,” linking to attacks on him, citing praise from quarters that not long ago would have considered him toxic. anticlimactic as this moment might have seemed toers who broke with johnson a year or more earlier, it caused a sensation: the traffic spiked to about three and a half times what it was the day before. (it returned to its current levels about page views a day within the week.) “i saw the bill of particulars he nailed to the door of his web site,” says the author peter collier himself a survivor of the special vitriol directed at those who change sides in the ideological wars, after he and david horowitz, his fellow former ramparts editor, publicly leapt from far left to far right in the late 1980s. “not exactly whittaker chambers, is he? i must say i was pretty put off by the profligate and kind of lame use of the word ‘fascism,’ a word that has been systematically denuded of its meaning, so that now it just signifies somebody you agree with. i want to say that it take some bravery and forethought and all that stuff it just seem like a very considered and certainly not a very theoretical break. more of a moment.” johnson’s desk is flanked by a keyboard and an electric guitar, which he still plays, though not professionally. “the touring thing, when younger nice and glamorous,” he said. “i’ve been to most of the continents in the world the only big country missed is russia, i think. i would probably still be doing it if the blog taken off the way it did. if someone were to come to me and offer me a couple million dollars to go tour for six months, i say no. but at this point, the blog is more than meeting my needs, financially.” (he declines to characterize how much money he makes.) sitting at his desk, he read me an e-mail message he received that day from a stranger who wished upon him a series of unprintable misfortunes involving a “male black crack whore.” he closed the e-mail message and shook his head. incivility, at least of the variety, clearly makes him uncomfortable; in fact, he can be downright squeamish about it. “i know why things just stay on the level of the factual,” he said. “i know why everything has to have a slant. i mean, the new york times has a slant, and in the past called them out for that.” he sighed. “i miss the days of walter cronkite.”	““it’s* ʤɪst soʊ illogical,”,” ˈgɛlər toʊld mi ˈhitɪdli nɑt lɔŋ əˈgoʊ. ləvd ɪm. aɪ rɪˈspɛktɪd ɪm. bət ðə weɪ hi wɛnt ˈæftər ˈpipəl wɑz laɪk ə ˈmɛntəl ˈɪlnəs. ən ˈivəl tɪ ðət, ə maliciousness. ə ˈtreɪtər, ə ˈtərnˌkoʊt, ə plænt. wi meɪ nɑt noʊ fər jɪrz wət ˈæˌkʧuəli ˈhæpənd. ju θɪŋk hi ʧeɪnʤd hɪz mind?”?” ə ˈnəmbər əv ˈsoʊˈkɔld wər bɔrn aʊt əv ðə ˈmoʊmənt, wɪn ˈhæŋɪŋ ə ˈʃɪŋgəl ɪn ðə stɪl ˈrɛlətɪvli ˈblɔgɔsˈfir wɑz ə weɪ əv, ɪf nɑt duɪŋ ˈsəmθɪŋ ɪgˈzæktli, æt list ɪˈstæblɪʃɪŋ ə ˈræliɪŋ pɔɪnt fər ðə kənˈsɪdərəbəl fˈjʊri əv ɔl ðoʊz hu lɔŋd tɪ du ˈsəmθɪŋ. bət ˈivɪn ɪf ðə clichéé əˈbaʊt ˈblɔgərz ðət ðeɪ prɪˈzum tɪ raɪt ˈnɑlɪʤəbli əˈbaʊt ˈkɑmplɛks ˈsəbʤɪkts wɪˈθaʊt ˈɛvər ˈlivɪŋ ðɛr hoʊmz ɪz ˈmoʊstli tru, ɪt min ðət ˈblɔgərz meɪk θɪŋz ˈhæpən. pərˈhæps ðə dɪˈfaɪnɪŋ ˈmoʊmənt ɪn nu kərɪr keɪm ɪn 2004 wɪn hi wɑz ˈeɪbəl nɑt ʤɪst tɪ ˈfɑloʊ bət tɪ draɪv ə ˈmeɪʤər ˈstɔri: hi wɑz ðə ˈsɛntrəl ˈblɔgər bɪˈhaɪnd wət keɪm tɪ bi noʊn ɛz, ɪn wɪʧ ə fju ˈsɪtɪzən ˈʤərnəlɪsts dɪd wət dæn ˈrəðər ənd ðə ˈvɛnərəbəl ˈsiˌbiˌɛs nuz lækt ˈiðər ðə ˈpeɪʃəns ər ðə skɪl tɪ du ðɛmˈsɛlvz ʧɛk ə ˈtaɪˌprɪtən ˈlɛtər səˈpoʊzədli frəm 1972 ˈkrɪtɪˌsaɪzɪŋ ʤɔrʤ ˈdəbəlju. ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri ˈsərvɪs, fər ˌɔθənˈtɪsɪti. ðɛr ɪz səm dɪˈspjut, ˈivɪn təˈdeɪ, ɛz tɪ hu wɑz ðə fərst tɪ ɪkˈspoʊz ðə frɔd bɪˈhaɪnd ðə ˈsoʊˈkɔld ˈkɪljən ˈdɑkjəmənts, bət ˈʤɑnsən wɪl fərˈɛvər bi əˈsoʊʃiˌeɪtəd wɪθ ðə ˈɛpɪˌsoʊd bɪˈkəz, ənˈlaɪk moʊst ˈəðər ˈblɔgərz hu noʊ ɛz məʧ əˈbaʊt ðə ˈtɛknɪkəl ˈwərkɪŋz əv ðɛr ˈmidiəm ɛz ə poʊət ɪz ˈlaɪkli tɪ noʊ əˈbaʊt ə ˈprɪnɪŋ prɛs hi hæd ðə ˈwɛrwɪˌðɔl tɪ kriˈeɪt, ˈɔlˌmoʊst ˈɪnstəntli, ən ˈænəˌmeɪtɪd ˈɪmɪʤ ðət ˈtɑgəld bɪtˈwin ðə ərˈɪʤənəl ˈlɛtər ənd ðət seɪm ˈlɛtər taɪpt ɪn ˈmaɪˌkroʊˈsɔft wərd 32 jɪrz ˈleɪtər, ˈɪləˌstreɪtɪŋ ðə ˈɪʃu ɪn ə weɪ ðət noʊ blɔg poʊst kʊd hæv dən. ðə ˈɪrə wɑz ðə ˈgoʊldən eɪʤ əv l.g.f., æt list ɪn tərmz əv ˈtræfɪk. ˈʤɑnsən sɪz ðət ðə pik wɑz ˈsəmˌwɛr əraʊnd hæf ə ˈmɪljən peɪʤ vjuz pər deɪ.

do satellites still need rocket propulsion when they are in orbit? the satellite in its orbit around the earth when a satellite has entered into its orbit around the earth, it moves so fast that the centrifugal force caused by its motion is equal to the earth's gravitational pull. (see also the astronomy question for week 6: how fast does a rocket have to travel to reach space?) in the absence of disturbing influences the satellite would continue along its trajectory forever. however, there are small perturbing forces that slow the satellite down and change its orbit. the satellite's trajectory can for instance be influenced by the radiation pressure of sunlight. if a satellite that has a large surface area is struck by a correspondingly large number of photons - the 'light particles' of solar radiation - enough energy is transferred to change the satellite's motion. traces of the earth's atmosphere, which extend for hundreds of kilometres beyond the surface of the earth, can have particularly strong perturbing effects. friction with gas molecules of this residual atmosphere slows down every object that orbits the earth, gradually bringing it down into a lower orbit. the satellite, scheduled to be launched this year, will be particularly affected by this problem. it will orbit at a relatively small distance of 260 kilometres from the surface of the earth. for this reason, has a sleek aerodynamic design and comes equipped with special ion thrusters. these thrusters can accelerate the satellite and bring it back into a higher orbit or keep it in its designated orbit - this is called orbit control. satellites use rocket propulsion for attitude and orbit control in addition to this, satellites also need rocket propulsion systems so that they can be oriented in a certain direction - so for attitude control. this is necessary to ensure that the camera is pointing towards the earth, or that the solar arrays always face the sun. for this reason, a satellite is equipped with a large number of small thrusters on its outer surface. these thrusters are fired briefly when required, so that the satellite starts to rotate slowly. as soon as the satellite has reached the desired position, thrusters are activated that fire in the opposite direction in order to stop the rotation.	du ˈsætəˌlaɪts stɪl nid ˈrɑkət prəˈpəlʃən wɪn ðeɪ ər ɪn ˈɔrbət? ðə ˈsætəˌlaɪt ɪn ɪts ˈɔrbət əraʊnd ðə ərθ wɪn ə ˈsætəˌlaɪt həz ˈɛnərd ˈɪntu ɪts ˈɔrbət əraʊnd ðə ərθ, ɪt muvz soʊ fæst ðət ðə ˈsɛntrɪfˌjugəl fɔrs kɔzd baɪ ɪts ˈmoʊʃən ɪz ˈikwəl tɪ ðə ərθs ˌgrævɪˈteɪʃənəl pʊl.

what's new in 10 general links: big data native partitioning table_partitioning: background and limitations of 10 partitioning in 10, partitioning tables is now an attribute of the table: create table ( ... ) [ partition by { range \| list } ( { \| ( expression ) } create table partition of [ ( ) ] for values example before: create table padre ( id serial, pais integer, not null ); create table ( constraint primary key (id), constraint check < date '2015-01-01' ) ) inherits (padre); create index on); today: create table padre ( id serial not null, text not null, not null ) partition by range ( id ); create table partition of padre (id, primary key (id), unique (nombre)) for values from (minvalue) to (10); create table partition of padre (id, primary key (id), unique (nombre)) for values from (10) to (maxvalue); this means that users no longer need to create triggers for routing data; it's all handled by the system. another example: for example, we might decide to partition the `book_history` table, probably a good idea since that table is liable to accumulate data forever. since it's a log table, we'll range partition it, with one partition per month. first, we create a "master" partition table, which will hold no data but forms a template for the rest of the partitions: libdata=# create table ( integer not null, status not null, period not null ) partition by range ( lower (period) ); then we create several partitions, one per month: libdata=# create table_2016_09 partition of for values from ('2016-09-01') to ('2016-10-01'); create table=# create table_2016_08 partition of for values from ('2016-08-01') to ('2016-09-01'); create table=# create table_2016_07 partition of for values from ('2016-07-01') to ('2016-09-01'); error: partition" would overlap partition" as you can see, the system even prevents accidental overlap. new rows will automatically be stored in the correct partition, and select queries will search the appropriate partitions. additional parallelism in query execution (wording from robert haas' blog post, linked below) parallel merge join: in, only hash joins and nested loops can be performed in the parallel portion of a plan. in 10, merge joins can also be performed in the parallel portion of the plan. parallel heap scan: one process scans the index and builds a data structure in shared memory indicating all of the heap pages that need to be scanned, and then all cooperating processes can perform the heap scan in parallel. parallel index scan and scan: it's now possible for the driving table to be scanned using an or an scan. gather merge: if each worker is producing sorted output, then gather those results in a way that preserves the sort order. subplan-related improvements: a table with an can appear in the parallel portion of the plan. pass query text to workers: the query text associated with a parallel worker will show up in. procedural languages example: for example, if we wanted to search financial transaction history by an indexed column, i can now execute it in the time by using four parallel workers: accounts=# \timing timing is on. accounts=# select bid, count() from where delta > 1000 group by bid; ... time: ms accounts=# set; set time: ms accounts=# select bid, count() from where delta > 1000 group by bid; ... time: ms (this assumes an index on bid, delta) links: robert haas parallel query additional in_fdw, push joins and aggregate functions to the remote server in more cases. this reduces the amount of data that must be passed from the remote server, and aggregate computation from the requesting server. links: faster analytics queries replication and scaling logical replication streaming replication is a fast, secure and is a perfect mechanism for high recovery needs. as it works on the whole instance, replicating only part of the primary server is not possible, nor is it possible to write on the secondary. logical replication will allow us to tackle those use-cases. example: suppose i decide i want to replicate just the fines and loans tables from my public library database to the billing system so that they can process amounts owed. i would create a publication from those two tables with this command: libdata=# create publication financials for table only loans, only fines; create publication then, in the billing database, i would create two tables that looked identical to the tables i'm replicating, and have the same names. they can have additional columns and a few other differences. particularly, since i'm not copying the patrons or books tables, i'll want to drop some foreign keys that they origin database has. i also need to create any special data types or other database artifacts required for those tables. often the easiest way to do this is selective use of the `pg_dump` and `pg_restore` backup utilities: origin# -f replica# -d -s -t loans -t fines following that, i can start a subscription to those two tables: libdata=# create subscription financials connection' publication financials; notice: synchronized table states notice: created replication slot "financials" on publisher create subscription this will first copy a snapshot of the data currently in the tables, and then start catching up from the transaction log. once it's caught up, you can check status in pg_stat_subscription: libdata=# select * from pg_stat_subscription; -[ record 1 ]---------+--------------------- \| 16475 \| financials \| 167 \| \| \| \| \| \| blogs: quorum commit for replication while version introduced quorum based replication, synchronous_commit = 'remote_apply' version 10 improves the_standby_names by adding the first and any keywords: synchronous_standby_names = any);_standby_names = first); first was the previous behaviour, and the nodes priority is following the list order in order to get a quorum. any now means that any node in the list is now able to provide the required quorum. this will give extra flexibility to complex replication setups. temporary replication slots automatically dropped at the end of the session; prevents with less risk. connection and routing in postgres 10 is allowing applications to define multiple connection points and define some properties that are expected from the backend server. this simplifies the logic at application level: there is no need for it to know exactly which node is the primary and which ones are the standbys. the new parameter can also be controlled by environment variables. links: physical replication improved performance of the replay of commits improved performance of replay when access exclusive locks are held on objects on the standby server. this can significantly improve performance in cases where temporary tables are being used. administration compression support for background processes in pg_stat_activity now includes information (including wait events) about background processes including: auxiliary processes worker processes wal senders traceable commit / status by postgresql 10 now supports finding out the status of a recent transaction for recovery after network connection loss or crash without having to use heavyweight commit. also useful for standbys. links: sql features identity columns postgresql 10 identity columns explained crash safe, hash indexes (wording from bruce general presentation) crash safe replicated reduced locking during bucket splits faster lookups more even index growth single-page pruning transition tables for triggers this feature makes after statement triggers both useful and by exposing, as appropriate, the old and new rows to queries. before this feature, after statement triggers had no direct access to these, and the were byzantine and had poor performance. much trigger logic can now be written as after statement, avoiding the need to do the expensive context switches at each row that for each row triggers require. xml and xmltable xmltable is a-standard feature that allows transforming an xml document to table format, making it much easier to process xml data in the database. coupled with foreign tables pointing to external xml data, this can greatly simplify processing. full text search support for andb you can now create full text indexes on andb columns. this involves converting theb field to a `tsvector`, then creating an specific language index on it: libdata=# create index on using gin (( to_tsvector('english',bookdata) )); create index once that's set up, you can do searching against all of the values in your documents: libdata=# select -> 'title' from where to_tsvector('english',bookdata) @@ to_tsquery('duke'); ------------------------------------------ "the tattooed duke" "she tempts the duke" "the duke is mine" "what i did for a duke" security scram authentication scram is more secure than and has become the standard way to do authentication. it is a salted challenge response authentication method. client support is required in order to switch to scram authentication in. new "monitoring" roles for permission grants now it is possible to avoid in more instances. pg_read_all_settings pg_read_all_stats pg_stat_scan_tables pg_monitor restrictive policies for row level security performance cross-column statistics real-world data frequently contains correlated data in table columns, which can easily fool the query planner into thinking where clauses are more selective than they really are, which can cause some queries to become very slow. statistics objects can be used to let the planner learn about this, which proofs it against making such mistakes. this manual section explains the feature in more detail, and this section shows some examples. this feature in represents an advance in the state of the art for all databases. significant expansion of wait events in postgresql code was with a total of 69 wait events. 10 expands the instrumentation and now includes 184 wait events. in particular 67+ related events were added and 31+ events were added. the and columns added to the view in give us a significant new window to find which parts of the system are causing query delays and gives us very accurate statistics on where we are losing performance. query planner improvements in join planning, detect cases where the inner side of the join can only produce a single row for each outer side row. during execution this allows early skipping to the next outer row once a match is found. this can also remove the requirement for mark and restore during merge joins, which can significantly improve performance in some cases. other features file_fdw can execute a program example: (from magnus new features presentation) create foreign table int, b text) server options (program -c /tmp/data.czv.gz'); icu support compile-time configuration option to use an library instead of relying on internationalization library (which was prone to unexpected behavior) more robusts with support in 10 amcheck checking tool postgresql 10 documentation backwards-incompatible changes version 10 has a number of changes which may affect system administration, particularly around monitoring and backup automation. as usual, users should carefully test for the before upgrading in production. change in version numbering as of version 10, no longer uses version numbers, but is shifting to version numbers. this means that version will be the first patch update to 10, instead of a new major version. scripts and tools which detect version may be affected. the community strongly recommends that tools use either the (on the backend), or the status function in to get the server version. this returns a integer version number which will be consistently and comparable between versions and 10. version string major version update number.0 0 090600.3 3 090603 10 0 100000 10 1 100001 renaming of "xlog" to "wal" globally (and location/lsn) in order to avoid confusion leading to data loss, everywhere we previously used the abbreviation "xlog" to refer to the transaction log, including directories, functions, and parameters for, we now use "wal". similarly, the word "location" in function names, where used to refer to transaction log location, has been replaced with "lsn". this will require many users to reprogram custom backup and transaction log management scripts, as well as monitoring replication. two directories have been renamed: 9.6 directory 10 directory additionally, depending on where your installation packages come from, the default activity log location may have been renamed from "pg_log" to just "log". many administrative functions have been renamed to use "wal" and "lsn": 9.6 function name 10 function name_location_diff_lsn_diff_replay_pause_replay_pause_replay_resume_replay_resumefile_namefile_namefile_name_offsetfile_name_offset some system views and functions have had attribute renames: pg_stat_replication: -> -> -> -> pg_create_logical_replication_slot: -> pg_create_physical_replication_slot: -> pg_logical_slot_get_changes: location -> pg_logical_slot_peek_changes: location -> several have had parameters renamed: pg_receivexlog has been renamed to. pg_resetxlog has been renamed to pg_resetwal. pg_xlogdump has been renamed todump. initdb and have a option rather than --xlogdir. pg_basebackup now has rather than --xlog-method. drop support for protocol postgresql's original protocol, version, will no longer be supported as of 10. since version was by version in 1998, it is unlikely that any existing clients still use it. clients older than version may be affected. change defaults around replication and new.conf defaults: wal_level = replica max_wal_senders = 10 max_replication_slots = 10 new defaults: replication connections by default pg_basebackup: wal streaming (-x stream) now default uses temporary replication slots by default pg_basebackup enhancements: wal streaming supported in tar mode (-ft) better excludes wording from magnus new features presentation. floating-point are a option that have been problematic with replication for some time. it is thought that a small percentage of users are using them, partly due to the fact that few distributors enable the option. for the small number of users who are using this option a will be required to upgrade to 10. with large this may be and will need to be planned carefully. remove tsearch2, the older, module version of our built-in full text search, has been removed from and will no longer be built as part of packages. users who have been continuously upgrading since before version will need to either manually modify their databases to use the built-in objects before upgrading to 10, or will need to compile themselves from scratch and install it. drop support for databases older than databases running on version and earlier will not be supported by orall. if you need to convert a database that old, use version or earlier to upgrade it in two stages.	wəts nu ɪn 10 ˈʤɛnərəl lɪŋks: bɪg ˈdætə ˈneɪtɪv pɑrˈtɪʃənɪŋ table_partitioning: ˈbækˌgraʊnd ənd ˌlɪmɪˈteɪʃənz əv 10 pɑrˈtɪʃənɪŋ ɪn 10 pɑrˈtɪʃənɪŋ ˈteɪbəlz ɪz naʊ ən əˈtrɪˌbjut əv ðə ˈteɪbəl: kriˈeɪt ˈteɪbəl pɑrˈtɪʃən baɪ reɪnʤ lɪst ɪkˈsprɛʃən kriˈeɪt ˈteɪbəl pɑrˈtɪʃən əv fər ˈvæljuz ɪgˈzæmpəl ˌbiˈfɔr: kriˈeɪt ˈteɪbəl ˈpæˌdreɪ ˈaɪˈdi ˈsɪˌriəl, peɪz ˈɪntəʤər, nɑt nəl kriˈeɪt ˈteɪbəl kənˈstreɪnt ˈpraɪˌmɛri ki (ˈaɪˈdi), kənˈstreɪnt ʧɛk deɪt ˌɪnˈhɛrəts (ˈpæˌdreɪ);

on the day singapore became independent in 1965, founding prime minister lee kuan yew declared that "everybody will have a place in singapore". he also stressed that singapore is "not a malay nation, not a chinese nation, not an indian nation". his remarks on race were not just to reassure minorities, but also a sober reminder to the chinese majority not to oppress the because they themselves had felt upon" when singapore was in malaysia. prime minister lee loong recalled the event at a dialogue last saturday with 500 grassroots leaders. a transcript of his speech was released yesterday. recounting singapore's early days as he spoke on race, and its place in the world, pm lee reminded chinese singaporeans of their responsibility to make minorities here feel welcome. he said singapore's objection to malaysia's leaders wanting one dominant race to enjoy special rights and its belief in led to separation. this was one of two reasons was made the fundamental principle on which singapore was founded, he said. the other was about survival as it is a country in a part of asia. being perceived as a "third china" or a proxy for communist china would have caused problems with singapore's neighbours, and "we would not have been able to live peacefully" in the region. only in singapore after the swearing-in, i posted a picture on of myself, president (yacob) and chief justice menon. a chinese, a malay and an indian - only in singapore. during the, one international visitor from brazil saw the picture and commented on it. he said it was most amazing what we have in singapore. he could not imagine it happening anywhere else. in fact, it is amazing. it shows what singapore is - multiracial, meritocratic, one flag, one people. that is what makes us singaporean. it is not just resonant rhetoric, or a warm, fuzzy feeling. we have to live it out daily, in little ways and big. prime minister lee loong related story pm lee spells out why he pushed for reserved election in the past 52 years, pm lee said, singaporeans have made significant progress in "becoming one people - regardless of race, language or religion". it took hard work, toil and sweat. it is "not something natural, nor something which will stay there by itself", he said. measures include designating english as the common working language, imposing ethnic quotas in flats to ensure people of different races live together and creating group representation constituencies (grcs) so there will always be minority mps. "sometimes we think we have arrived, and that we can do away with these provisions and rules which feel like such a burden," he said. "in fact, it is the other way around. it is precisely because we have these provisions and rules that we have achieved racial and religious harmony." still, singapore has yet to arrive at the "ideal state of accepting people of a different race", pm lee said, citing surveys that show people are not completely colour-blind. in day-to-day life, minorities also sometimes face discrimination when looking for jobs or places to rent, he added. the chinese may not realise it, being the majority race, and "may think singapore has 'arrived' as a multiracial society". they, however, may get "small reminders from time to time" of racism when they go abroad. "if you go to america or australia or somewhere in europe, you may know what it feels like to be treated as a minority," pm lee said. younger singaporeans, having known only peace and harmony in singapore, may believe race does not matter any more, he added. "but it is not so. we need to know our blind spots and make a special effort to ensure our minority communities feel welcomed and valued in singapore," he said, adding that the chinese community, particularly, needs to make a special effort. this was the reason for amending the constitution to provide for reserved presidential elections, to ensure minorities are elected president from time to time, he said. it applies to the chinese community too, should there not be a chinese president for five terms, though pm lee felt "there was no need to do so for the chinese". "but the chinese community felt if you did not also make provisions for the chinese, something was not right under the sun. so we did it, and this shows you just how sensitive and necessary this mechanism is." other nations too make arrangements to ensure their minorities become head of state, he noted. canada's post alternates between the and communities, and switzerland's president post is rotated among swiss germans, swiss french and swiss italians. "we should not be shy to acknowledge that in singapore, the majority is making a special effort to ensure that minorities enjoy full and equal treatment," he said. having multiracial presidents is one important symbol of what singapore stands for, and a declaration of what we aspire to be. "it is a reminder to every citizen, especially the chinese majority race, that there is a role for every community in singapore."	ɔn ðə deɪ ˈsɪŋəˌpɔr bɪˈkeɪm ˌɪndɪˈpɛndənt ɪn 1965 ˈfaʊndɪŋ praɪm ˈmɪnɪstər li kwɑn ju dɪˈklɛrd ðət "ˈɛvriˌbɑdi wɪl hæv ə pleɪs ɪn ˈsɪŋəˌpɔr". hi ˈɔlsoʊ strɛst ðət ˈsɪŋəˌpɔr ɪz "nɑt ə ˈmeɪleɪ ˈneɪʃən, nɑt ə ʧaɪˈniz ˈneɪʃən, nɑt ən ˈɪndiən ˈneɪʃən". hɪz rɪˈmɑrks ɔn reɪs wər nɑt ʤɪst tɪ ˌriəˈʃʊr məˈnɔrətiz, bət ˈɔlsoʊ ə ˈsoʊbər riˈmaɪndər tɪ ðə ʧaɪˈniz məˈʤɔrəti nɑt tɪ əˈprɛs ðə bɪˈkəz ðeɪ ðɛmˈsɛlvz hæd fɛlt əˈpɑn" wɪn ˈsɪŋəˌpɔr wɑz ɪn məˈleɪʒə. praɪm ˈmɪnɪstər li lʊŋ rɪˈkɔld ðə ɪˈvɛnt æt ə ˈdaɪəˌlɔg læst ˈsæˌtɪˌdeɪ wɪθ 500 ˈgræsˈruts ˈlidərz. ə ˈtrænˌskrɪpt əv hɪz spiʧ wɑz riˈlist ˈjɛstərˌdeɪ. ˌriˈkaʊntɪŋ ˈsɪŋəpɔrz ˈərli deɪz ɛz hi spoʊk ɔn reɪs, ənd ɪts pleɪs ɪn ðə wərld, piɛm li riˈmaɪndɪd ʧaɪˈniz sɪŋgəˈpɔriənz əv ðɛr riˌspɑnsəˈbɪləti tɪ meɪk məˈnɔrətiz hir fil ˈwɛlkəm. hi sɛd ˈsɪŋəpɔrz əˈbʤɛkʃən tɪ məˈleɪʒəz ˈlidərz ˈwɑnɪŋ wən ˈdɑmənənt reɪs tɪ ˌɛnˈʤɔɪ ˈspɛʃəl raɪts ənd ɪts bɪˈlif ɪn lɛd tɪ ˌsɛpərˈeɪʃən. ðɪs wɑz wən əv tu ˈrizənz wɑz meɪd ðə ˌfəndəˈmɛnəl ˈprɪnsəpəl ɔn wɪʧ ˈsɪŋəˌpɔr wɑz ˈfaʊndɪd, hi sɛd. ðə ˈəðər wɑz əˈbaʊt sərˈvaɪvəl ɛz ɪt ɪz ə ˈkəntri ɪn ə pɑrt əv ˈeɪʒə. biɪŋ pərˈsivd ɛz ə "θərd ˈʧaɪnə" ər ə ˈprɑksi fər ˈkɑmjənəst ˈʧaɪnə wʊd hæv kɔzd ˈprɑbləmz wɪθ ˈsɪŋəpɔrz ˈneɪbərz, ənd "wi wʊd nɑt hæv bɪn ˈeɪbəl tɪ lɪv ˈpisfəli" ɪn ðə ˈriʤən. ˈoʊnli ɪn ˈsɪŋəˌpɔr ˈæftər ðə swearing-in, aɪ ˈpoʊstɪd ə ˈpɪkʧər ɔn əv ˌmaɪˈsɛlf, ˈprɛzɪdənt (yacob) ənd ʧif ˈʤəstɪs meɪˈnɔn. ə ʧaɪˈniz, ə ˈmeɪleɪ ənd ən ˈɪndiən ˈoʊnli ɪn ˈsɪŋəˌpɔr. ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə wən ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl ˈvɪzɪtər frəm brəˈzɪl sɔ ðə ˈpɪkʧər ənd ˈkɑmɛntəd ɔn ɪt. hi sɛd ɪt wɑz moʊst əˈmeɪzɪŋ wət wi hæv ɪn ˈsɪŋəˌpɔr. hi kʊd nɑt ˌɪˈmæʤən ɪt ˈhæpənɪŋ ˈɛniˌwɛr ɛls. ɪn fækt, ɪt ɪz əˈmeɪzɪŋ. ɪt ʃoʊz wət ˈsɪŋəˌpɔr ɪz ˌməlˌtaɪˈreɪʃəl, meritocratic, wən flæg, wən ˈpipəl. ðət ɪz wət meɪks ˈjuˈɛs sɪŋgəˈpɔriən. ɪt ɪz nɑt ʤɪst ˈrɛzənənt ˈrɛtərɪk, ər ə wɔrm, ˈfəzi ˈfilɪŋ. wi hæv tɪ lɪv ɪt aʊt ˈdeɪli, ɪn ˈlɪtəl weɪz ənd bɪg. praɪm ˈmɪnɪstər li lʊŋ rɪˈleɪtɪd ˈstɔri piɛm li spɛlz aʊt waɪ hi pʊʃt fər rɪˈzərvd ɪˈlɛkʃən ɪn ðə pæst 52 jɪrz, piɛm li sɛd, sɪŋgəˈpɔriənz hæv meɪd sɪgˈnɪfɪkənt ˈprɑˌgrɛs ɪn "bɪˈkəmɪŋ wən ˈpipəl rəˈgɑrdləs əv reɪs, ˈlæŋgwɪʤ ər rɪˈlɪʤən". ɪt tʊk hɑrd wərk, tɔɪl ənd swɛt. ɪt ɪz "nɑt ˈsəmθɪŋ ˈnæʧərəl, nɔr ˈsəmθɪŋ wɪʧ wɪl steɪ ðɛr baɪ ˌɪtˈsɛlf", hi sɛd. ˈmɛʒərz ˌɪnˈklud ˈdɛzɪgˌneɪtɪŋ ˈɪŋlɪʃ ɛz ðə ˈkɑmən ˈwərkɪŋ ˈlæŋgwɪʤ, ˌɪmˈpoʊzɪŋ ˈɛθnɪk kˈwoʊtəz ɪn flæts tɪ ɪnˈʃʊr ˈpipəl əv ˈdɪfərənt ˈreɪsɪz lɪv təˈgɛðər ənd kriˈeɪtɪŋ grup ˌrɛprəzɛnˈteɪʃən kənˈstɪʧuənsiz (grcs) soʊ ðɛr wɪl ˈɔlˌweɪz bi məˈnɔrəti mps.

by eleanor williams bbc news,, london the "poo cakes" have a high content and burn easily the is firmly in the grip of one of the coldest winters on record and many households are seeing their fuel bills soar. although the government has dismissed fears over dwindling gas supplies during the big freeze, the weather highlights the desirability of finding more "green" fuel. one water firm thinks it may have the answer - and it is not wind or hydro power. thames water has successfully been using human toilet waste to make electricity for the past decade. long before you get to sewage treatment plant in east london the smell tells you it is near. not strange considering it is the biggest sewage plant in europe and treats a large majority of the waste coming from london's toilets. there is a difference in the summer holidays in the value of the sludge; it's lower because people eat more salads harjeet singh, plant manager human waste has long been seen as a by-product, but thames water claims it saved last year, and generated 14% of its power, from either burning sludge or methane derived from its 13 million customers' toilets. in total the firm treats billion of sewage every day from people in london, berkshire, oxfordshire, and surrey. singh is the plant manager for the generator at. before it, and its sister plant on the other side of the river thames, was built in 1998 at the cost of £165m, the sludge was simply deposited in the sea. "it was taken on big barges out into the north sea and dumped," mr singh explained. "a tanker was leaving every two minutes. now we only have about four lorries of ash [the only by-product] a day." the solid sludge is emptied out of the compressor and fed into a hot furnace mr singh describes the process which every day turns tons of human waste into electricity as "totally green". the raw sewage comes into the plant and is filtered, with anything that is not excrement or toilet paper removed, leaving a mix of 95% water and 5% solids which is then pumped into industrial (165ft) compressors where the water is squeezed out, leaving solid "poo cakes". these cakes, which still contain a large amount of water but burn easily, are fed into a gigantic hot furnace which produces steam that drives a large turbine, creating electricity. "in the same way our domestic boilers work," mr singh explained the electricity generated has the capacity to power homes but here it is fed back into's own system to keep the sewage plant running. fat for lipsticks mr singh said: "a computer monitors emissions so we don't emit any nasties. "that's not happened in the past 12 years, we've not exceeded [limits] since we opened. "at the end of the process we're left with about 30% ash." ash, the only by-product, could be used to make concrete he said the firm was looking into ways of using the ash in the future. "we don't want it to go to landfill and one thing we are looking at making with it is concrete", he said, showing a small test block he "made earlier". he said they were also toying with the idea of using the fat in the toilet sludge to make lipsticks and other cosmetics. however a more likely use may be as for farmers and gardeners. "[the sludge] contains lots of nutrients and has a high content. "but you can see a difference during the school holidays and christmas; there's less waste coming into the plant because people are away from the city. "there is also a difference in the summer holidays in the value of the sludge; it's lower because people eat more salads." bookmark with: delicious digg reddit facebook stumbleupon what are these? e-mail this to a friend printable version	baɪ ˈɛlənər ˈwɪljəmz ˌbibiˈsi nuz,, ˈləndən ðə "pu keɪks" hæv ə haɪ ˈkɑntɛnt ənd bərn ˈizəli ðə ɪz ˈfərmli ɪn ðə grɪp əv wən əv ðə ˈkoʊldəst ˈwɪntərz ɔn ˈrɛkərd ənd ˈmɛni ˈhaʊsˌhoʊldz ər siɪŋ ðɛr fjuəl bɪlz sɔr. ˌɔlˈðoʊ ðə ˈgəvərnmənt həz dɪsˈmɪst fɪrz ˈoʊvər dˈwɪndəlɪŋ gæs səˈplaɪz ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə bɪg friz, ðə ˈwɛðər ˈhaɪˌlaɪts ðə dɪˌzaɪrəˈbɪlɪti əv ˈfaɪndɪŋ mɔr "grin" fjuəl. wən ˈwɔtər fərm θɪŋks ɪt meɪ hæv ðə ˈænsər ənd ɪt ɪz nɑt wɪnd ər ˈhaɪˌdroʊ paʊər. tɛmz ˈwɔtər həz səkˈsɛsfəli bɪn ˈjuzɪŋ ˈjumən ˈtɔɪlət weɪst tɪ meɪk ɪˌlɛkˈtrɪsəti fər ðə pæst ˈdɛkeɪd. lɔŋ ˌbiˈfɔr ju gɪt tɪ suɪʤ ˈtritmənt plænt ɪn ist ˈləndən ðə smɛl tɛlz ju ɪt ɪz nɪr. nɑt streɪnʤ kənˈsɪdərɪŋ ɪt ɪz ðə ˈbɪgəst suɪʤ plænt ɪn ˈjʊrəp ənd trits ə lɑrʤ məˈʤɔrəti əv ðə weɪst ˈkəmɪŋ frəm ˈləndənz ˈtɔɪləts. ðɛr ɪz ə ˈdɪfərəns ɪn ðə ˈsəmər ˈhɑləˌdeɪz ɪn ðə ˈvælju əv ðə sləʤ; ɪts loʊər bɪˈkəz ˈpipəl it mɔr ˈsælədz sɪŋ, plænt ˈmænɪʤər ˈjumən weɪst həz lɔŋ bɪn sin ɛz ə by-product, bət tɛmz ˈwɔtər kleɪmz ɪt seɪvd læst jɪr, ənd ˈʤɛnərˌeɪtɪd 14 əv ɪts paʊər, frəm ˈiðər ˈbərnɪŋ sləʤ ər ˈmɛˌθeɪn dəraɪvd frəm ɪts 13 ˈmɪljən ˈkəstəmərz' ˈtɔɪləts. ɪn ˈtoʊtəl ðə fərm trits ˈbɪljən əv suɪʤ ˈɛvəri deɪ frəm ˈpipəl ɪn ˈləndən, ˈbərkˌʃaɪr, oxfordshire, ənd ˈsəri. sɪŋ ɪz ðə plænt ˈmænɪʤər fər ðə ˈʤɛnərˌeɪtər æt. ˌbiˈfɔr ɪt, ənd ɪts ˈsɪstər plænt ɔn ðə ˈəðər saɪd əv ðə ˈrɪvər tɛmz, wɑz bɪlt ɪn 1998 æt ðə kɔst əv £165m, ðə sləʤ wɑz ˈsɪmpli dɪˈpɑzətəd ɪn ðə si.

clean as a whistle - "one possibility is that the old describes the whistling sound of a sword as it swishes through the air to decapitate someone, and an early century quotation does suggest this connection: 'a first rate shot.(his) head taken off as clean as a whistle.' the expression is proverbial, at least since the century, when robert burns used a variation on it. more likely the basic idea suggests the clear, pure sound a whistle makes, or the slippery smooth surface of a willow stick to make a whistle. but there is also a chance that the phrase may have originally been 'as clean as a whittle,' referring to a piece of smooth wood after it is whittled." (from the "encyclopedia of word and phrase origins" by robert hendrickson (facts on file, new york, 1997.) another source states: "robert burns, in his poem, 'earnest cry,' used 'toom' ('empty') rather than 'clean' - 'paint scotland her thrissle; her stoup as a whissle' - and other writers have had the whistle clear, dry, pure or other adjective. the basic intent, however, is to indicate that, for a sweet, pure sound from a whistle or reed, the tube must be clean and dry." (from "heavens to betsy & other curious sayings" by charles earle funk, harper & row, new york, 1955.) and a third: "as every old-timer can tell you, a good whistle made from a reed or a piece of wood emits a clear tone - but it is easily damaged. even small particles of debris, or a few drops of moisture will change the sound of a handmade instrument. in order to emit the pure notes intended by its maker, a whistle has to be absolutely clean. anything or anyone as clean as a brand-new whistle or as clear as its sound is bound to be good. all of which means that an organization or person called as 'clean as a whistle' has been judged to be guiltless or flawless."

in 2011, the purple one came to los angeles, where he had sporadically lived over the years, to perform. what could have been a simple one-night stand was instead a masterful residency at multiple venues. and in true, inscrutable prince style, he only announced the shows, which were part of the welcome 2 america tour, a week beforehand by calling in to the george lopez show. the magic began on april 14 at the forum. prince opened by declaring, "inglewood is mine!" and closed out the three-hour show with five encores, reports rolling stone. the set included smoke, showmanship, a hydraulic lift, guest appearances from eva longoria and javier bardem, and plenty of music, including an epic version of "purple rain." tickets for the show were as low as $25, making it a bargain for fans. prince played 12 shows at the forum. the sets featured medleys, reworked versions of his most recognizable hits, deep cuts and covers of everyone from sylvester to bob dylan. the stint also featured a raft of special guests such as jazz singer cassandra wilson, piano virtuoso alicia keys, rap star missy elliot, pop artist gwen stefani and stevie wonder. prince's longtime drummer, sheila e., was also a frequent guest. muppets video on may 11, prince played two surprise shows in a single night at the troubadour during the middle of his 21 night stand. the intimate shows at the tiny west hollywood club were a thrill for fans who were able to score tickets, according to the hollywood reporter: "the little hall was treated to album cuts, instrumentals and covers a amalgam of musical genres mixed into an 140 minutes of prince. there was no entrance, backing throng or even dancing (ok, a little near the end). and a take on 'pop life' was his only hit single he played." on may 25, prince announced he would be playing three shows that night at the same venue. he performed at the house of blues, sunset strip, first in the main concert hall, then in the jazz café at the porch restaurant and finally a private charity event at the foundation room. to complete the 21 night stand, prince returned to the forum for four more concerts, closing out the residency on may 29, 2011. for fans, it was a opportunity to see the pop star in a setting that combined all the glitter and showmanship of a large venue and the playfulness of a bar residency. and it only scratches the surface of his influence and here in southern california. were you there? share your memories of prince during the 21 night stand or any other era here in the comments.	ɪn 2011 ðə ˈpərpəl wən keɪm tɪ lɔs ˈænʤəlɪs, wɛr hi hæd spərˈædɪkli lɪvd ˈoʊvər ðə jɪrz, tɪ pərˈfɔrm. wət kʊd hæv bɪn ə ˈsɪmpəl ˌwəˈnaɪt stænd wɑz ˌɪnˈstɛd ə ˈmæstərfəl ˈrɛzɪdənsi æt ˈməltəpəl ˈvɛnuz. ənd ɪn tru, ˌɪnˈskrutəbəl prɪns staɪl, hi ˈoʊnli əˈnaʊnst ðə ʃoʊz, wɪʧ wər pɑrt əv ðə ˈwɛlkəm 2 əˈmɛrɪkə tʊr, ə wik bɪˈfɔˌrhænd baɪ ˈkɔlɪŋ ɪn tɪ ðə ʤɔrʤ ˈloʊpɛz ʃoʊ. ðə ˈmæʤɪk bɪˈgæn ɔn ˈeɪprəl 14 æt ðə ˈfɔrəm. prɪns ˈoʊpənd baɪ dɪˈklɛrɪŋ, "ˈɪŋgəlˌwʊd ɪz maɪn!" ənd kloʊzd aʊt ðə θriaʊər ʃoʊ wɪθ faɪv ˈɑnˌkɔrz, rɪˈpɔrts ˈroʊlɪŋ stoʊn. ðə sɛt ˌɪnˈkludɪd smoʊk, ˈʃoʊmənˌʃɪp, ə haɪˈdrɔlɪk lɪft, gɛst əˈpɪrənsəz frəm ˈivə loʊŋˈgɔriə ənd ˌhɑviˈɛr bardem, ənd ˈplɛnti əv mˈjuzɪk, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ən ˈɛpɪk ˈvərʒən əv "ˈpərpəl reɪn." ˈtɪkɪts fər ðə ʃoʊ wər ɛz loʊ ɛz 25 ˈmeɪkɪŋ ɪt ə ˈbɑrgɪn fər fænz. prɪns pleɪd 12 ʃoʊz æt ðə ˈfɔrəm. ðə sɛts ˈfiʧərd medleys, riˈwərkt ˈvərʒənz əv hɪz moʊst ˌrɛkəgˈnaɪzəbəl hɪts, dip kəts ənd ˈkəvərz əv ˈɛvriˌwən frəm sɪlˈvɛstər tɪ bɑb ˈdɪlən. ðə stɪnt ˈɔlsoʊ ˈfiʧərd ə ræft əv ˈspɛʃəl gɛsts səʧ ɛz ʤæz ˈsɪŋər kəˈsændrə ˈwɪlsən, piˈænə vərʧuˈoʊsoʊ əˈlɪʃə kiz, ræp stɑr ˈmɪsi ˈɛliət, pɑp ˈɑrtɪst gwɛn ˈstɛfəni ənd ˈstivi ˈwəndər. ˈprɪnsɪz ˈlɔŋˌtaɪm ˈdrəmər, ˈʃilə i., wɑz ˈɔlsoʊ ə ˈfrikˌwɛnt gɛst. ˈməpɪts ˈvɪdioʊ ɔn meɪ 11 prɪns pleɪd tu səˈpraɪz ʃoʊz ɪn ə ˈsɪŋgəl naɪt æt ðə ˈtrubəˌdɔr ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə ˈmɪdəl əv hɪz 21 naɪt stænd. ðə ˈɪnɪmət ʃoʊz æt ðə ˈtaɪni wɛst ˈhɑliˌwʊd kləb wər ə θrɪl fər fænz hu wər ˈeɪbəl tɪ skɔr ˈtɪkɪts, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ðə ˈhɑliˌwʊd rɪˈpɔrtər: "ðə ˈlɪtəl hɔl wɑz ˈtritɪd tɪ ˈælbəm kəts, ˌɪnstrəˈmɛnəlz ənd ˈkəvərz ə əˈmælgəm əv mˈjuzɪkəl ˈʒɑnrəz mɪkst ˈɪntu ən 140 ˈmɪnəts əv prɪns. ðɛr wɑz noʊ ˈɛntrəns, ˈbækɪŋ θrɔŋ ər ˈivɪn ˈdænsɪŋ (ˈoʊˈkeɪ, ə ˈlɪtəl nɪr ðə ɛnd). ənd ə teɪk ɔn 'pɑp laɪf' wɑz hɪz ˈoʊnli hɪt ˈsɪŋgəl hi pleɪd." ɔn meɪ 25 prɪns əˈnaʊnst hi wʊd bi pleɪɪŋ θri ʃoʊz ðət naɪt æt ðə seɪm ˈvɛnju. hi pərˈfɔrmd æt ðə haʊs əv bluz, ˈsənˌsɛt strɪp, fərst ɪn ðə meɪn ˈkɑnsərt hɔl, ðɛn ɪn ðə ʤæz café*é æt ðə pɔrʧ ˈrɛˌstrɑnt ənd ˈfaɪnəli ə ˈpraɪvət ˈʧɛrɪti ɪˈvɛnt æt ðə faʊnˈdeɪʃən rum. tɪ kəmˈplit ðə 21 naɪt stænd, prɪns rɪˈtərnd tɪ ðə ˈfɔrəm fər fɔr mɔr ˈkɑnsərts, ˈkloʊzɪŋ aʊt ðə ˈrɛzɪdənsi ɔn meɪ 29 2011 fər fænz, ɪt wɑz ə ˌɑpərˈtunəti tɪ si ðə pɑp stɑr ɪn ə ˈsɛtɪŋ ðət kəmˈbaɪnd ɔl ðə ˈglɪtər ənd ˈʃoʊmənˌʃɪp əv ə lɑrʤ ˈvɛnju ənd ðə ˈpleɪfəlnəs əv ə bɑr ˈrɛzɪdənsi. ənd ɪt ˈoʊnli ˈskræʧɪz ðə ˈsərfəs əv hɪz ˈɪnfluəns ənd hir ɪn ˈsəðərn ˌkæləˈfɔrnjə. wər ju ðɛr?

former eagles wide receiver freddie mitchell is headed to prison. the man formerly known as "fredex" was sentenced to 37 months behind bars for his part in a tax fraud scheme, according to tmz. mitchell pleaded guilty to withholding millions of dollars from the federal government. he was facing ten years in prison, but cut a deal in order to have the sentence reduced to a little more than three. more: follow mike kaye on twitter mitchell was known for his wild interview antics during his stint with the eagles. he was also on the receiving end of the play known affectionately as "4th-and-26." mitchell played in philadelphia for four seasons after being drafted in the first round of the 2001 nfl draft. the former bruin collected 90 receptions for yards and five touchdowns in the nfl, all of which came with the eagles. mitchell was a bust in the nfl and it is looking like his personal life has not gone much better since leaving the league. more from bleeding green nation:	ˈfɔrmər ˈigəlz waɪd rɪˈsivər ˈfrɛdi ˈmɪʧəl ɪz ˈhɛdɪd tɪ ˈprɪzən. ðə mæn ˈfɔrmərli noʊn ɛz "fredex" wɑz ˈsɛntənst tɪ 37 mənθs bɪˈhaɪnd bɑrz fər hɪz pɑrt ɪn ə tæks frɔd skim, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ tmz. ˈmɪʧəl ˈplidɪd ˈgɪlti tɪ wɪθˈhoʊldɪŋ ˈmɪljənz əv ˈdɔlərz frəm ðə ˈfɛdərəl ˈgəvərnmənt. hi wɑz ˈfeɪsɪŋ tɛn jɪrz ɪn ˈprɪzən, bət kət ə dil ɪn ˈɔrdər tɪ hæv ðə ˈsɛntəns rɪˈdust tɪ ə ˈlɪtəl mɔr ðən θri. mɔr: ˈfɑloʊ maɪk keɪ ɔn tˈwɪtər ˈmɪʧəl wɑz noʊn fər hɪz waɪld ˈɪntərvˌju ˈæntɪks ˈdʊrɪŋ hɪz stɪnt wɪθ ðə ˈigəlz. hi wɑz ˈɔlsoʊ ɔn ðə rɪˈsivɪŋ ɛnd əv ðə pleɪ noʊn əˈfɛkʃənətli ɛz ˈmɪʧəl pleɪd ɪn ˌfɪləˈdɛlfiə fər fɔr ˈsizənz ˈæftər biɪŋ ˈdræftɪd ɪn ðə fərst raʊnd əv ðə 2001 ˈɛˌnɛˈfɛl dræft. ðə ˈfɔrmər bruɪn kəˈlɛktəd 90 rɪˈsɛpʃənz fər jɑrdz ənd faɪv ˈtəʧˌdaʊnz ɪn ðə ˈɛˌnɛˈfɛl, ɔl əv wɪʧ keɪm wɪθ ðə ˈigəlz. ˈmɪʧəl wɑz ə bəst ɪn ðə ˈɛˌnɛˈfɛl ənd ɪt ɪz ˈlʊkɪŋ laɪk hɪz ˈpərsɪnəl laɪf həz nɑt gɔn məʧ ˈbɛtər sɪns ˈlivɪŋ ðə lig. mɔr frəm ˈblidɪŋ grin ˈneɪʃən:
cinenewsnow.com, a local news station in the chicago area, is reporting of a at notre dame high school that was averted by one quick thinking. read the full report here. 16-year old alex was trying to break a record, and after 75 yards he passed out and suffered a seizure at the bottom of the pool. after a teammate noticed his absence, old charlie cain jumped into the water and pulled his teammate to safety. the team and the coach then took all appropriate actions, turned him onto his side, and called an ambulance. “i went over to make sure he was okay, i expect to find him,” said cain to cinenewsnow. “he was on the bottom of the pool. i brought him up and over the wall and our coach got down to pull him out. all the guys were doing stuff for him, we opened the doors up and we got him on his side. one of the guys found someone to call the ambulance.” cain was trained by his coach, steve frye, in a red cross lifesaving class. even though he was never a lifeguard, he took the class in hopes of furthering his medical career, according to the article. cain’s heroics are certainly to be commended, but this is another scary reminder about the dangers of these sorts of underwater challenges. the dangers posed to swimmers at practice has been highlighted by two recent incidents at two of the major clubs. in one case, a teen at was transported to a hospital by ambulance after nearly drowning. in the other, tragedy was not averted when teenager louis lowenthal drowned at the north baltimore aquatic club. there are still no firm details (and may never be) about precisely what happened in that situation. aside from highlighting the risks, both of these cases also highlight the importance of having as many trained lifeguards on deck as possible; both in a formal role, as well as coaches and other athletes who might be observing practices. while usa swimming has not issued a specific ban on the type of challenge activity described above, some organizations like the have issued bans targeting these extreme challenges. regardless of bans, such challenge activities continue to occur in our pools. in order to maintain a safe training environment, coaches are expected to consider the age, distance and recovery time when undertaking any breath control training and never push or challenge their athletes to place themselves in duress or a dangerous situation. the safety training for swim coaches course, required of all usa swimming member coaches, addresses the issue of inappropriate training.	cinenewsnow.com, ə ˈloʊkəl nuz ˈsteɪʃən ɪn ðə ʃəˈkɑˌgoʊ ˈɛriə, ɪz rɪˈpɔrtɪŋ əv ə æt ˈnoʊtər deɪm haɪ skul ðət wɑz əˈvərtəd baɪ wən kwɪk ˈθɪŋkɪŋ. rɛd ðə fʊl rɪˈpɔrt hir. oʊld ˈæləks wɑz traɪɪŋ tɪ breɪk ə ˈrɛkərd, ənd ˈæftər 75 jɑrdz hi pæst aʊt ənd ˈsəfərd ə ˈsiʒər æt ðə ˈbɑtəm əv ðə pul. ˈæftər ə ˈtiˌmeɪt ˈnoʊtɪst hɪz ˈæbsəns, oʊld ˈʧɑrli keɪn ʤəmpt ˈɪntu ðə ˈwɔtər ənd pʊld hɪz ˈtiˌmeɪt tɪ ˈseɪfti. ðə tim ənd ðə koʊʧ ðɛn tʊk ɔl əˈproʊpriˌeɪt ˈækʃənz, tərnd ɪm ˈɔntu hɪz saɪd, ənd kɔld ən ˈæmbjələns. wɛnt ˈoʊvər tɪ meɪk ʃʊr hi wɑz ˌoʊˈkeɪ, aɪ ɪkˈspɛkt tɪ faɪnd him,”,” sɛd keɪn tɪ cinenewsnow. wɑz ɔn ðə ˈbɑtəm əv ðə pul. aɪ brɔt ɪm əp ənd ˈoʊvər ðə wɔl ənd ɑr koʊʧ gɑt daʊn tɪ pʊl ɪm aʊt. ɔl ðə gaɪz wər duɪŋ stəf fər ɪm, wi ˈoʊpənd ðə dɔrz əp ənd wi gɑt ɪm ɔn hɪz saɪd. wən əv ðə gaɪz faʊnd ˈsəmˌwən tɪ kɔl ðə ambulance.”.” keɪn wɑz treɪnd baɪ hɪz koʊʧ, stiv fraɪ, ɪn ə rɛd krɔs ˈlaɪfˌseɪvɪŋ klæs. ˈivɪn ðoʊ hi wɑz ˈnɛvər ə ˈlaɪfˌgɑrd, hi tʊk ðə klæs ɪn hoʊps əv ˈfərðərɪŋ hɪz ˈmɛdɪkəl kərɪr, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ðə ˈɑrtɪkəl. hɪˈroʊɪks ər ˈsərtənli tɪ bi kəˈmɛndɪd, bət ðɪs ɪz əˈnəðər ˈskɛri riˈmaɪndər əˈbaʊt ðə ˈdeɪnʤərz əv ðiz sɔrts əv ˈəndərˌwɔtər ˈʧælənʤɪz. ðə ˈdeɪnʤərz poʊzd tɪ sˈwɪmərz æt ˈpræktɪs həz bɪn ˈhaɪˌlaɪtɪd baɪ tu ˈrisənt ˈɪnsədənts æt tu əv ðə ˈmeɪʤər kləbz. ɪn wən keɪs, ə tin æt wɑz trænˈspɔrtəd tɪ ə ˈhɑˌspɪtəl baɪ ˈæmbjələns ˈæftər ˈnɪrli ˈdraʊnɪŋ. ɪn ðə ˈəðər, ˈtræʤədi wɑz nɑt əˈvərtəd wɪn ˈtiˌneɪʤər luɪs ˈloʊɪnθəl draʊnd æt ðə nɔrθ ˈbɔltəˌmɔr əkˈwɑtɪk kləb. ðɛr ər stɪl noʊ fərm ˈditeɪlz (ənd meɪ ˈnɛvər bi) əˈbaʊt prɪˈsaɪsli wət ˈhæpənd ɪn ðət ˌsɪʧuˈeɪʃən. əˈsaɪd frəm ˈhaɪˌlaɪtɪŋ ðə rɪsks, boʊθ əv ðiz ˈkeɪsɪz ˈɔlsoʊ ˈhaɪˌlaɪt ðə ˌɪmˈpɔrtəns əv ˈhævɪŋ ɛz ˈmɛni treɪnd ˈlaɪfˌgɑrdz ɔn dɛk ɛz ˈpɑsəbəl;

studio 17, a collective of more than 70 artists working in the building at and mission streets, will be forced to vacate the premises in june after failing to secure a lease renewal from its landlord. artists who have worked in the building for years and hosted numerous open houses are faced with finding new spaces or packing up their belongings. studio 17 the only artist studio facing eviction in san francisco. smaller artist collectives including limited and soma artists studios may share the same fate. the building was purchased by rick holman, managing partner of asher insights inc., in 2013, and he assured tenants in an open letter that there were no intentions “to tear down the building ... or otherwise change its fundamental character or use.” according to robert donald, master of the studio 17 spaces, the artists have tried several times to contact holman about negotiating the terms for their lease renewal, but have not been successful. “without any plans for relocation, having to vacate our existing spaces to make way for the mandated retrofit leaves us with little hope of maintaining our community,” said donald. “i question whether mr. holman is using it as a convenient excuse for our displacement.” studio 17 occupies square feet on the fourth floor of the building, which holman says is due for a seismic upgrade. donald says that he is unsure whether this will require artists to vacate the space until the upgrades are complete and that the artists have not received a definitive answer. donald issued a zoning violation claim against holman that is under investigation by the planning department. in 2013, holman made upgrades to the building and the nonprofit homeless network was priced out. the nonprofit was later replaced by plangrid, a construction app company that works with architects to replace paper blueprints. holman disputed claims about negotiations and said that upgrades must be completed to make the building safe. “the problem with these claims is that we are directly leasing to artists, not renewing robert master lease through his business studio 17 artists llc,” said holman. “i have not made any statements to robert donald about a rate for renewing his master lease.” holman says the plan is to directly lease the space to artists at substantially rates. according to gina simi, the planning communications manager, the investigation is continuing. the artists have taken steps to combat their displacement, and on april 15, they issued a press release detailing their concerns and calls for public support. they also participated in the mission artists spring open studios, in what artist and studio 17 member truong tran referred to as “possibly the last opportunity” for the public to visit the artists’ collective spaces. the artists are hoping for the issues to be resolved before time to pack up. they plan to meet with holman and his lawyers this week. tran believes moving would speak to the larger issue of artists and culture being pushed out of the city. “i have concerns about where he plans to relocate us,” said tran. “if it is in the basement or on the second floor, most of us would have to move out. “this is displacement. apps do not change the world. artists and their work do that. spencer whitney is assistant editor on the opinion pages. e-mail: twitter:	ˈstudiˌoʊ 17 ə kəˈlɛktɪv əv mɔr ðən 70

akamai ranks countries based on their broadband speeds every quarter. in its latest report for 2013, the country has an average peak connection speed of 54.1mb/s. which country do you think that would be? hint: its the third time in a row to be in first place. did you guess south korea? close. the country that gave us style" tops the list when it comes to average connection speeds, but the best average peak connection speeds are actually found in the of hong kong. it was first to break the threshold in 2012, and at that speed you could download an entire feature film in just a few minutes. australia sits way, way lower down the list with an average peak speed of 22.8mb/s, which puts it at number 30. according to the latest report, average peak connection speeds went up by per cent for an overall 41 per cent increase since this time last year, but average connection speeds in australia dropped per cent since last quarter to 4.3mb/s. despite co supposedly having "commenced or completed" fibre network construction in premises [pdf] earlier this month, australia was only one of three countries to decline in high broadband (10mb/s or greater) adoption, down 13 per cent since the previous quarter. apparently, just per cent of australia has access to average connection speeds that are at or above, which contrasts with south korea and hong kong at 52 per cent and 27 per cent respectively. according to the report, only 38 per cent of australians have access to internet speeds at or above 4mb/s. if you compare that with hong kong's 71 per cent adoption rate, or south korea's 86 per cent adoption rate, it's clear that our speeds are still catching up to much of the first world, including countries in north america and europe. clearly, the the hasn't made much of a dent yet.

while the capitals edged the rangers last night to go up, the three remaining series each feature a team holding a lead. two games into the second round, the flames have been dominated by the ducks, the wild just crack the blackhawks, and the habs well, the habs are kind of losing their minds against the lightning. the good news is that while a comeback from a deficit is unlikely only about 14 percent of teams pull it off far from impossible. over the last few decades, it has tended to happen roughly once a year. we see any comebacks in the first round this year, which means still due. more 2015 playoffs all our coverage right here! that said, a tricky proposition, and you really need to have a few things going for you to have a chance at pulling it off. so run through eight factors that should be in your favor as you battle back from being down, and more importantly, which of these three teams have each going for them. the factor: a goalie who can steal the series for you this probably the most obvious. all sorts of factors can contribute to a deficit a superior opponent, an offense gone cold, poor special teams, or just plain bad luck but a hot is the one trump card that can overcome everything else. awfully tough to come back without your goalie pulling off at least one or two of those “we just beating him tonight” games, and you want to have a guy shown that more likely than others to get it done. applies to: minnesota and montreal. devan and carey price are two of this three vezina finalists. the wild and habs both have plenty to worry about right now, but not their. doesn’t apply to: calgary. the flames have already swapped starters in this series, which typically a good sign when only two games in. jonas hiller started game 1 but barely made it out of the first period. ramo got the nod in game 2, and actually played a strong game despite the loss, making several saves. the flames will need him to keep that up for the rest of the series; his track record says probably wishful thinking. the factor: facing a goalie who could let you back in this is the obvious flip side to the first factor. you need a edge, and the best way to get that is for your own guy to stand on his head. but if that happen, facing an opponent hand you a few stinkers to get you back into the mix will work too. just ask the 2002 red wings. applies to: minnesota and maybe calgary. yes, corey crawford has a cup ring. also already lost his starting job once this, and his win on sunday night was his first solid game of the opening two rounds. as for the ducks, starter andersen was supposed to be a potential weak spot heading into the playoffs. he been so far, because the ducks had any weak spots at all yet, and if it stays that way the flames are done. maybe grasping at straws, but not willing to move andersen into the “sure thing” pile quite yet. doesn’t apply to: montreal. we gave the “is ben bishop actually good?” coin another flip, and it came up heads, so ben bishop is good today. and been pretty darn good for the past week, starting with his game 7 shutout win against the red wings and continuing through this series. so the lightning probably feel pretty good about him (although feel even better if he occasionally do stuff like this). the factor: home ice in games 3 and 4 you’re never really in trouble in a playoff series, the old saying goes, until you lose a game at home. when you open on the road, your goal is always to steal at least one, but coming home down necessarily a disaster. you just need to hold serve and win the next two in your own building. do that, and you can head into game 5 feeling good about your chances. applies to: calgary and minnesota. both teams head back home for game 3. doesn’t apply to: montreal. if really looking for a bright side, then maybe getting away from the pressure cooker of montreal is exactly what the team needs after disaster. the question is whether arrive back in town in a few days with anything on their schedule beyond locker cleanout. the factor: something to build on in game 2 yes, momentum is overrated. but when times are tough, it helps to feel like headed in the right direction, even if just a lie you tell yourself to keep fighting. applies to: calgary. after getting rolled over in game 1, the flames came out in game 2 and looked even worse early on. the ducks dominated, pelting ramo with 20 shots, and deserved a bigger lead than the edge they took into the first intermission. but then the flames woke up and finished with two solid periods. it enough to steal a win, but it was the first time in the series that calgary even looked like it belonged on the ice with anaheim. not much, but something. doesn’t apply to: minnesota and montreal. the wild dominated in the two games in chicago; with a break or two, they could have won either. but seeing biggest starts come through in game 2 had to be at least a little demoralizing, especially in a game that seemed to be there for the taking early in the third. as for the, the less said about game 2, the better. they got whupped. the factor: having done it before ideally, love to be able to look around the room and say, “we’ve been here before.” applies to: minnesota and (if really stretching it) calgary. the wild were facing this same deficit heading back to home ice just last year against the avalanche. they pulled off an overtime win game 3, evened the series in game 4, and then went on to win the series in seven. as for the flames, they won a playoff round in more than a decade until last week, so there are no comebacks to be found in recent team history. but head coach bob hartley can at least draw on his own history; way back in 1999, his avalanche fell behind to the red wings before dominating the rest of the series, outscoring detroit along the way. a long time ago, but something. doesn’t apply to: montreal. andrei was on the 2004 team that came back against the bruins, but about it. they have blown leads against the hurricanes in 2006 and bruins in 2011, so maybe they learned something there. the factor: an established star who can take over a game it happen as often in, where a system (combined with hesitant officiating) can often target and shut down a top offensive player. but every once in a while, an elite talent can still take over a game and drag his team across the finish line. not every team has that sort of player, of course, but the ones that do can always hope that have one of those “not on my watch” games. applies to: montreal and maybe minnesota. there many players who can take over a game from the blue line, but p.k. is one of them. when at his best, close to unstoppable; the habs need him to find that level quickly. zach parise quite in that tier, but he had a strong back in 2012 when he led the devils all the way to the final. and if not him, maybe thomas vanek will finally break out. doesn’t apply to: calgary. the flames have lots of young talent, and no reason why one of those kids string together a few big games to get them back into the series. but an established star? not unless mark giordano comes back. the factor: a edge scoring is tough during the season. once the playoffs starts, scoring often seems to dry up entirely. that puts even more emphasis on special teams, so if a team can maintain an edge there, it has a shot to claw back into the series. applies to: minnesota. the wild have the’s best power play, clicking at percent. a little misleading, since had only 17 opportunities across eight games. still, scored a goal in both games of this series, their penalty kill is a solid percent, and chicago been good when either up or down a man. that could give the wild a big boost if (and a big if) the start making more calls. doesn’t apply to: calgary or montreal. the flames’ special teams have been about average, but the ducks have been better. and the’ struggles are well known by know; their power play is an awful percent in the. the good news had been that the lightning were almost as bad, but that ended on sunday when they went and looked like the harlem globetrotters doing it. the factor: being one of those miracle teams when down, you kind of need a minor miracle. so what better team to pull it off than one already used to being the underdog who somehow defies the odds? applies to: calgary and minnesota. the flames have long since staked out their claim as this ridiculous outlier team, winning even though nobody thinks all that good. would a comeback from down against the ducks make any sense? no, but nothing about the flames season has made sense, so why stop now? meanwhile, the wild were in place in and seemed like a team in disarray. then they traded for and transformed into one of the best teams in the league overnight. is coming back from really any tougher than coming back from place? nope. doesn’t apply to: montreal. sorry, habs fans. got this probable and a norris finalist, you were in last final four, and you were just picked for the next winter classic. you may want to embrace a “nobody believes in us” role, but too late; everyone believes in you, or at least they did until a few games ago. you get to play the plucky underdog card now. so where does all this leave us? if a wild fan, not in terrible shape. they almost certainly need to win tonight, and probably again in game 4 on thursday. that be easy against a hawks team that looks to finally be shifting into stanley cup mode right on time. but got a shot. the flames have a weaker case. no doubt get a boost from a loud crowd tonight, but the ducks went into a raucous building in winnipeg in round 1 and did just fine. biggest problem is that they just look like good enough to keep up with anaheim. still got a chance here, but not much more than that. and then montreal. the habs certainly fare well in the various categories that made up this post, and after sunday night they looked like a team that was closer to a full-scale meltdown than a comeback. so tempting to write them off completely until you remember carey price. the guy is going to be for a reason, and if anyone can steal a series his team has no right to win, him. and the way playing right now, the might need exactly that.	waɪl ðə ˈkæpɪtəlz ɛʤd ðə ˈreɪnʤərz læst naɪt tɪ goʊ əp ðə θri rɪˈmeɪnɪŋ ˈsɪriz iʧ ˈfiʧər ə tim ˈhoʊldɪŋ ə lɛd. tu geɪmz ˈɪntu ðə ˈsɛkənd raʊnd, ðə fleɪmz hæv bɪn ˈdɑməˌneɪtəd baɪ ðə dəks, ðə waɪld ʤɪst kræk ðə ˈblæˌkhɔks, ənd ðə hæbz wɛl, ðə hæbz ər kaɪnd əv ˈluzɪŋ ðɛr maɪndz əˈgɛnst ðə ˈlaɪtnɪŋ. ðə gʊd nuz ɪz ðət waɪl ə ˈkəmˌbæk frəm ə ˈdɛfəsət ɪz ənˈlaɪkli ˈoʊnli əˈbaʊt 14 pərˈsɛnt əv timz pʊl ɪt ɔf fɑr frəm ˌɪmˈpɑsəbəl. ˈoʊvər ðə læst fju ˈdɛkeɪdz, ɪt həz ˈtɛndɪd tɪ ˈhæpən ˈrəfli wəns ə jɪr. wi si ˈɛni ˈkəmˌbæks ɪn ðə fərst raʊnd ðɪs jɪr, wɪʧ minz stɪl du. mɔr 2015 pleɪɔfs ɔl ɑr ˈkəvərɪʤ raɪt hir! ðət sɛd, ə ˈtrɪki ˌprɑpəˈzɪʃən, ənd ju ˈrɪli nid tɪ hæv ə fju θɪŋz goʊɪŋ fər ju tɪ hæv ə ʧæns æt ˈpʊlɪŋ ɪt ɔf. soʊ rən θru eɪt ˈfæktərz ðət ʃʊd bi ɪn jʊr ˈfeɪvər ɛz ju ˈbætəl bæk frəm biɪŋ daʊn ənd mɔr ˌɪmˈpɔrtəntli, wɪʧ əv ðiz θri timz hæv iʧ goʊɪŋ fər ðɛm. ðə ˈfæktər: ə ˈgoʊli hu kən stil ðə ˈsɪriz fər ju ðɪs ˈprɑbəˌbli ðə moʊst ˈɑbviəs. ɔl sɔrts əv ˈfæktərz kən kənˈtrɪbjut tɪ ə ˈdɛfəsət ə suˈpɪriər əˈpoʊnənt, ən əˈfɛns gɔn koʊld, pur ˈspɛʃəl timz, ər ʤɪst pleɪn bæd lək bət ə hɑt ɪz ðə wən trəmp kɑrd ðət kən ˈoʊvərˌkəm ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ ɛls. ˈɔfəli təf tɪ kəm bæk wɪˈθaʊt jʊr ˈgoʊli ˈpʊlɪŋ ɔf æt list wən ər tu əv ðoʊz ʤɪst ˈbitɪŋ ɪm tonight”” geɪmz, ənd ju wɔnt tɪ hæv ə gaɪ ʃoʊn ðət mɔr ˈlaɪkli ðən ˈəðərz tɪ gɪt ɪt dən. əˈplaɪz tɪ: ˌmɪnɪˈsoʊtə ənd ˌməntriˈɔl. ˈdɛvən ənd ˈkɛri praɪs ər tu əv ðɪs θri vɛˈzinə ˈfaɪnəlɪsts. ðə waɪld ənd hæbz boʊθ hæv ˈplɛnti tɪ ˈwəri əˈbaʊt raɪt naʊ, bət nɑt ðɛr. əˈplaɪ tɪ: ˈkælgəri. ðə fleɪmz hæv ɔˈrɛdi swɔpt ˈstɑrtərz ɪn ðɪs ˈsɪriz, wɪʧ ˈtɪpɪkəli ə gʊd saɪn wɪn ˈoʊnli tu geɪmz ɪn. ˈʤoʊnəs ˈhɪlər ˈstɑrtɪd geɪm 1 bət ˈbɛrli meɪd ɪt aʊt əv ðə fərst ˈpɪriəd. ˈreɪmoʊ gɑt ðə nɑd ɪn geɪm 2 ənd ˈæˌkʧuəli pleɪd ə strɔŋ geɪm dɪˈspaɪt ðə lɔs, ˈmeɪkɪŋ ˈsɛvərəl seɪvz. ðə fleɪmz wɪl nid ɪm tɪ kip ðət əp fər ðə rɛst əv ðə ˈsɪriz;

suggests this would support the view that the trump campaign headquarters at trump tower in new york was under surveillance, since he works nearby and was a frequent visitor there. the president has asserted in a series of that trump tower was wiretapped by barack obama just before the election but did not explain his basis for the allegation, eventually calling for the house and senate intelligence committees to investigate. sean spicer muddles answer when pressed on trump and russia investigation read more page, like trump, has challenged us policy towards russia and called for warmer relations between the two countries. he visited moscow last july and december and has not denied meeting the russian ambassador to the us during last republican convention, where the trump campaign successfully lobbied to drop language from the party platform. in a letter addressed to richard burr and mark warner, chairman and of the senate intelligence committee, page notes media reports that secret court orders were issued last october to allow the fbi to conduct surveillance of “us persons” in an investigation of possible contacts between russian banks and the trump organization. “having spoken in favor of some of mr policies on other fox news group programs during the 2016 campaign as a campaign surrogate and given the peaceful relationship i have had with russian citizens since my years in the us navy, it may be understandable why i would be an associated political target if such sick activities had indeed been committed as alleged in the previously cited media reports,” he writes. “for your information, i have frequently dined in trump grill, had lunch in trump café, had coffee meetings in the starbucks at trump tower, attended events and spent many hours in campaign headquarters on the fifth floor last year. as a sister skyscraper in manhattan, my office at the building (590 madison avenue) is literally connected to the trump tower building by an atrium.” page continues: “so if prior media reports may be believed that surveillance was indeed undertaken against me and other trump supporters, it should be essentially deemed as a proven fact that the american concerns that trump tower was under surveillance last year is entirely correct.” he says he keeps his cellphone on at all times except when flying, partly because of a “a chronic medical condition” that requires permanent access to a particular app. in what is presumably a reference to the recent publication of documents by showing the cia maintains the technical capability to hack consumer devices, page adds: “all of this is particularly relevant following recent allegations surrounding surveillance techniques.” the senate committee will examine interference in the election, which intelligence agencies concluded was carried out to hurt hillary campaign, and potential links between russia and associates. the panel has asked about a dozen individuals and organisations, including the white house, to preserve relevant materials. the fbi is also carrying out its own separate investigation. trump has repeatedly denied any knowledge of improper contacts and the white house has complained about a “fake narrative” being recycled. page, an oil and energy industry consultant who has spent significant time in russia, told the guardian he would be “more than happy” to testify to the senate committee. he admitted that he had no proof that his phone was put under surveillance but denied he was attempting to put up a smokescreen, turning his fire instead on the clinton campaign. top republicans refuse to back up trump's unproven wiretapping claim read more “my phone looks clean to me,” he wrote in an email. “more to the point and if they were indeed doing a j. edgar political attack based on my beliefs, nothing ever written or said on it could be possibly construed as breaking any u.s. law ... as per the false evidence and concocted allegations of the lying crooked hillary campaign.” over the past year the trump campaign and administration have issued conflicting statements over its relationship with page. adam jentleson, senior strategic adviser at the center for american progress action fund, has argued, referring to one of trips to moscow, the change to the platform and the first batch of dnc emails from: “two weeks in july 2016 show why page could be such an important piece of the puzzle.”	ə ˈfɔrmər ˈfɔrən ˈpɑləsi ædˈvaɪzər tɪ ˈdɑnəld trəmp həz ˈrɪtən tɪ kənˈgrɛʃənəl ˌɪnˈvɛstəˌgeɪtərz ˈkleɪmɪŋ, wɪˈθaʊt ˈɛvədəns,

yves here. wow, never in my wildest dreams would i have predicted this outcome. by lambert strether. originally published at corrente remember, passing fast track in the senate was supposed to be the easy part. not only did fast track get rejected on its first try “welcome aboard the s.s. lame duck, mr. president!” now we get this. ryan grim explains: the senate approved a bill to “fast-track” trade agreements negotiated by the president. the agreement will prevent congress from amending or filibustering controversial partnership agreement. the deal would have a hard time surviving without authority. but a key crackdown on human trafficking survived the legislative jujitsu. the white house considers the provision a deal-breaker, as it would force one of the nations involved in the talks malaysia out of the agreement . from the us state department: malaysia (tier 3 [the worst]) is a destination and, to a lesser extent, a source and transit country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and women and children subjected to sex trafficking. the overwhelming majority of trafficking victims are among the estimated two million documented and two million or more undocumented foreign workers in malaysia. foreign workers typically migrate willingly to malaysia from other countries in indonesia, bangladesh, the philippines,al, burma, cambodia, vietnam, india, thailand, and search of greater economic opportunities. here i pause to note that somebody decided that it would be a good idea for the us to take in the, the muslim boat people who have turned to traffickers to escape a slow motion burmese genocide, after which the malaysians offered temporary, one-year status to such as actually reach their shores. some of the migrants subsequently encounter forced labor or debt bondage at the hands of their employers, employment agents, or informal labor recruiters. many malaysian recruitment companies, known as “outsourcing companies,” recruit workers from foreign countries. labor arrangements of this which the worker may technically be employed by the recruiting vulnerabilities for workers whose day-to-day employers generally are without legal responsibility for exploitative practices. in some cases, foreign workers’ vulnerability to exploitation is heightened when employers neglect to obtain proper documentation for workers or employ workers in sectors other than that for which they were granted an employment visa. in addition, a complex system of recruitment and contracting fees, often deducted from workers’ wages, makes workers vulnerable to debt bondage. a malaysian government policy implemented in january 2013 that places the burden of paying immigration and employment authorization fees on foreign workers, rather than the employers, increased this risk. (sounds like the sort of labor market that only a could love, but i digress.) so, yes, the provision assuming it has teeth, and malaysia slip by with a wink and a promise is indeed a poison pill; malaysia possibly qualify. the administration like that, arguing that will push malaysia into the open arms of the chinese, with whom the thai junta is already flirting, but i suppose if push came to shove, obama could throw malaysia under the bus. more pertinent is the procedural roadblock the menendez amendment throws in fast way. back to ryan grim: the slavery survival means that the house will either need to amend the bill and send it back to the senate, which would cause a delay and complicate the house debate, or pass a bill and go to conference with the senate, also causing a delay. it also potentially could be fixed in separate legislation otherwise moving through congress. but time is not on the side of advocates of the trade agenda, as summer recess is approaching, followed by a heated presidential campaign season. “it leaves a substantial problem that no sure how will be addressed,” said one senator. complicating any efforts to “fix” the bill, however, is the possibility of an alliance between feminist factions in the democratic party, and factions among the republicans, both of whom take strongly principled positions on human trafficking. complicating the picture even more, when you think about it, is the potential for in 2016. suppose obama, very ironically, gets the provisions “fixed,” i.e. removed, and the bill passes in time. the campaign ads practically write themselves. “a vote for is a vote for human trafficking.” “why does senator x support slavery?” cue the ominous music. cue pictures of skeletal women and children. cue the on the trail. sure campaign shops on both sides are practically drooling with joy, because the only way will pass is with bipartisan support. getting that amendment in there was genius, and get to how that happened in a moment. meanwhile, however, the ministerial talks on that were to be held, as late as last week, are now indefinitely on hold, pending the removal of the aforesaid roadblocks: [japanese economy minister akira amari said on tuesday that] “tpp talks be concluded unless the bill is passed.” of course, all this senatorial and must look to the asians like exactly what it is: a massive loss of face for obama. were i to speculate freely, i might consider this: the united states is, of course, hegemon, and during his visit to washington, obama gave prime minister abe a gift to take home to his voters: permission to wage offensive] by doing that, however, obama, as is his wont, gave up something real and definite in exchange for something unreal and vague: abe getting through the japanese diet at some later date. but maybe the militaristic abe now that he has what he really wanted would prefer to “cave” to his rice, wheat, beef, poultry, dairy, and sugar lobbies and then shrug his shoulders, spread his palms wide, and tell obama “what do you want? i deliver the votes, just like you.” so, those are some of the diplomatic moving parts. how did this happen? two words: robert menendez (d-nj). let me repeat that: robert menendez. back to ryan grimm: sen. robert menendez (d-n.j.) authored the provision that would effectively bar malaysia from the agreement. now, when last we heard from senator menendez, justice department had just had him indicted in a gloriously cheesy scandal, as indeed any scandal that involves the word “opthamologist” must be: menendez, a new jersey democrat, has been charged with accepting nearly $1 million in] and campaign contributions from salomon, an eye doctor and longtime friend of the senator’s, in exchange for a stream of political favors. prosecutors say the provided the senator with luxury vacations, airline travel and tens of thousands of dollars in contributions to a legal defense fund. federal prosecutors also allege the senator pressured officials to resolve a billing dispute between and medicare and helped secure travel visas for’s foreign girlfriends. menendez and have pleaded not guilty. menendez claims prosecutors have confused their friendship with corruption. dear lord. a million bucks. that these days? chump change. and not even in cash! besides, you should also assume that justice can indict whoever they want in washington for whatever whenever, because people are human, a fallen world, and every motel room within four hours drive time of the hill is bugged up the by multiple alphabet agencies, not to mention foreign powers, and before we get to the cellphones and the intertubes. so whatever the indictment is about, not about corruption. but if not corruption, what? well, the indictment happened on april 1. and this happened on march 2: after accompanying netanyahu into the joint session of congress, [menendez,] the democrats’ ranking member of the senate foreign relations committee assumed a seat in the front row . he doubled down in the moments after the speech. “it was a very effective speech in outlining to the present framework of the deal that is attempting to be negotiated with iran, and also the consequences if the deal is struck in a certain way,” menendez told reporters. and that is a very powerful opportunity to develop a different narrative than the one we have been hearing.” that is, the “narrative” obama had been trying to construct in one of the few acts of his presidency people who pay attention should support in favor of a nuclear deal with iran, as opposed to whatever scheme bibi and his gang of have in mind. so understandable that obama would kick menendez in the stones in april (tit) and that menendez would kick back (for tat) in april, when he amended the fast track agreement in committee it passed on a bipartisan vote to include the human trafficking poison pill amendment. but not even the best part. this is the best part. as it turns out, the menendez amendment could have been rewritten so as not to be a poison pill. [menendez had]] with leaders over modified language that would allow malaysia to stay in the deal as long as it made progress toward reducing its dependence on slave labor. but then this happened: the modification, however, never made it into the bill. “it’s an interesting thing, it, about menendez it get fixed,” sen. sherrod brown (d-ohio), a staunch opponent of the trade bill, said friday night after the final vote. ironically, it was senate republicans, or at least one republican , who enabled the provision to stay. the senate needed unanimous consent to move forward on votes on a series of amendments, including the menendez modification, but was denied when a republican senator objected. so who is that republican senator? i really wish i knew. (interestingly, david dayen, who has a lucid description of the final, frantic, fast track maneuvering, know or say.) so were we are now. a good outcome from the most venal of motives, with a good dose of accident, error, and chaos. pass the popcorn! note [1] not sure how that sits with the asean countries. [2] the wall street journal wrote an outraged editorial arguing that since there was no quid pro quo, there was no corruption. wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. [3] speaking of quid pro quo…. on may 19: washington sen. robert menendez (d-n.j.) on tuesday threatened to do “everything possible to have a floor fight” if president barack obama undercuts pending trade legislation to combat human trafficking. “human trafficking slavery is one of the great moral challenges of our time,” menendez said during a conference call with reporters. he touted an amendment he authored that would deny trade perks to governments that tolerate egregious human trafficking offenses. but the floor fight happen, did it? bob have arranged to give rand a bathroom break? for the children?) and so one can only wonder why. of course, menendez may also have believed in his amendment; be the last to say human motivations over-determined. appendix some factions in malaysia have their own, internal reasons to oppose: on the part of the government, perhaps the most difficult items in the negotiations are issues related to government procurement, as well as support for and. these issues are related to the interventionist role that the malaysian state has played in bringing about growth and redistribution. in the area of government procurement, this entails the allocation of contracts to the bumiputra business community a practice that dates back to the implementation of the new economic policy (nep,) but has continued to the present day. state involvement in the economy also took the form of regulatory requirements on corporations that are above the designated size thresholds to allocate a given percentage (30 per cent) of their equity and employment to the bumiputra community (jesudason 1989). the implementation of also saw the creation of corporations in the private sector in the late to 1970s, which served the redistributive goal of through equity holdings (trusteeship, on behalf of the bumiputra community) and employment. this strategy has evolved further from the to include corporations established for heavy industrialization (e.g. proton) and privatized state enterprises (e.g. such as nasional and telekom malaysia). as tham (2014) has noted, it has become increasingly difficult for malaysian trade policies to accommodate the dual paradigm that state intervention in the economy. the difficulties encountered in the negotiations in the area are manifestations of this phenomenon. the malaysian government has been seeking to deal with these issues through either a (exclusion), appropriate threshold levels a transition period (delayed application). thus far, there is no indication whether progress has been made in this area. this also makes it difficult to assess how the bumiputra policies are likely to change in response to the. what is certain is that some bumiputra policies are likely to continue, at least for a certain period, even after the is signed. bumiputra is the process through which economic rents are distributed through ethnic communities, with preference to malays (as opposed to chinese). the paramount organizing principle of the malaysian political class. malaysia is also fabulously corrupt; they make the thais look like of good government. all of which goes to say that there is plenty of dirt to be dug up and thrown, by the malaysian opposition, at proponents whether in kuala lumpur, ho chi minh city, or even tokyo and washington. update so will the menendez amendment make it easier for hillary to support? or harder?	iv hir. waʊ, ˈnɛvər ɪn maɪ ˈwaɪldɪst drimz wʊd aɪ hæv prɪˈdɪktɪd ðɪs ˈaʊtˌkəm. baɪ ˈlæmbərt strether. ərˈɪʤənəli ˈpəblɪʃt æt kərˈɛnti rɪˈmɛmbər, ˈpæsɪŋ fæst træk ɪn ðə ˈsɛnɪt wɑz səˈpoʊzd tɪ bi ðə ˈizi pɑrt. nɑt ˈoʊnli dɪd fæst træk gɪt rɪˈʤɛktɪd ɔn ɪts fərst traɪ əˈbɔrd ðə s.s. leɪm dək, ˈmɪstər. president!”!” naʊ wi gɪt ðɪs. raɪən grɪm ɪkˈspleɪnz: ðə ˈsɛnɪt əˈpruvd ə bɪl tɪ ““fast-track”” treɪd əˈgrimənts nɪˈgoʊʃiˌeɪtɪd baɪ ðə ˈprɛzɪdənt. ðə əˈgrimənt wɪl prɪˈvɛnt ˈkɑŋgrəs frəm əˈmɛndɪŋ ər ˈfɪləˌbəstərɪŋ ˌkɑntrəˈvərʃəl ˈpɑrtnərˌʃɪp əˈgrimənt. ðə dil wʊd hæv ə hɑrd taɪm sərˈvaɪvɪŋ wɪˈθaʊt əˈθɔrəti. bət ə ki ˈkrækˌdaʊn ɔn ˈjumən ˈtræfɪkɪŋ sərˈvaɪvd ðə ˈlɛʤəsˌleɪtɪv ʤuˈʤɪtˌsu. ðə waɪt haʊs kənˈsɪdərz ðə prəˈvɪʒən ə deal-breaker, ɛz ɪt wʊd fɔrs wən əv ðə ˈneɪʃənz ˌɪnˈvɑlvd ɪn ðə tɔks məˈleɪʒə aʊt əv ðə əˈgrimənt frəm ðə ˈjuˈɛs steɪt dɪˈpɑrtmənt: məˈleɪʒə (tir 3 [ðə wərst]) ɪz ə ˌdɛstɪˈneɪʃən ənd, tɪ ə ˈlɛsər ɪkˈstɛnt, ə sɔrs ənd ˈtrænzɪt ˈkəntri fər mɛn, ˈwɪmən, ənd ˈʧɪldrən səˈbʤɛktɪd tɪ fɔrst ˈleɪbər ənd ˈwɪmən ənd ˈʧɪldrən səˈbʤɛktɪd tɪ sɛks ˈtræfɪkɪŋ. ðə ˌoʊvərˈwɛlmɪŋ məˈʤɔrəti əv ˈtræfɪkɪŋ ˈvɪktɪmz ər əˈməŋ ðə ˈɛstəˌmeɪtɪd tu ˈmɪljən ˈdɑkjəˌmɛnəd ənd tu ˈmɪljən ər mɔr ənˈdɑkjəmɛnɪd ˈfɔrən ˈwərkərz ɪn məˈleɪʒə. ˈfɔrən ˈwərkərz ˈtɪpɪkəli ˈmaɪˌgreɪt ˈwɪlɪŋli tɪ məˈleɪʒə frəm ˈəðər ˈkəntriz ɪn ˌɪndoʊˈniʒə, ˈbæŋləˌdɛʃ, ðə ˈfɪləˌpinz, nəˈpɔl, ˈbərmə, ˌkæmˈboʊdiə, viˌɛtˈnɑm, ˈɪndiə, ˈtaɪˌlænd, ənd sərʧ əv ˈgreɪtər ˌɛkəˈnɑmɪk ˌɑpərˈtunətiz. hir aɪ pɔz tɪ noʊt ðət ˈsəmˌbɑdi ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd ðət ɪt wʊd bi ə gʊd aɪˈdiə fər ðə ˈjuˈɛs tɪ teɪk ɪn ðə, ðə ˈməzlɪm boʊt ˈpipəl hu hæv tərnd tɪ ˈtræfɪkərz tɪ ɪˈskeɪp ə sloʊ ˈmoʊʃən bərˈmiz ˈʤɛnəˌsaɪd, ˈæftər wɪʧ ðə məˈleɪʒənz ˈɔfərd ˈtɛmpərˌɛri, ˈwənˌjɪr ˈstætəs tɪ səʧ ɛz ˈæˌkʧuəli riʧ ðɛr ʃɔrz. səm əv ðə ˈmaɪgrənts ˈsəbsəkwəntli ɪnˈkaʊnər fɔrst ˈleɪbər ər dɛt ˈbɑndɪʤ æt ðə hænz əv ðɛr ɪmˈplɔɪərz, ɪmˈplɔɪmənt ˈeɪʤənts, ər ˌɪnˈfɔrməl ˈleɪbər rɪˈkrutərz. ˈmɛni məˈleɪʒən rɪˈkrutmənt ˈkəmpəˌniz, noʊn ɛz companies,”,” rɪˈkrut ˈwərkərz frəm ˈfɔrən ˈkəntriz. ˈleɪbər ərˈeɪnʤmənts əv ðɪs wɪʧ ðə ˈwərkər meɪ ˈtɛknɪkəli bi ɪmˈplɔɪd baɪ ðə rɪˈkrutɪŋ ˌvəlnərəˈbɪlɪtiz fər ˈwərkərz huz ˈdeɪtuˌdeɪ ɪmˈplɔɪərz ˈʤɛnərəli ər wɪˈθaʊt ˈligəl riˌspɑnsəˈbɪləti fər ˌɛkˈsplɔɪtətɪv ˈpræktɪsɪz. ɪn səm ˈkeɪsɪz, ˈfɔrən workers’’ ˌvəlnərəˈbɪlɪti tɪ ˌɛkˌsplɔɪˈteɪʃən ɪz ˈhaɪtənd wɪn ɪmˈplɔɪərz nɪˈglɛkt tɪ əbˈteɪn ˈprɑpər ˌdɑkjəmɛnˈteɪʃən fər ˈwərkərz ər ɪmˈplɔɪ ˈwərkərz ɪn ˈsɛktərz ˈəðər ðən ðət fər wɪʧ ðeɪ wər ˈgrænɪd ən ɪmˈplɔɪmənt ˈvizə. ɪn əˈdɪʃən, ə ˈkɑmplɛks ˈsɪstəm əv rɪˈkrutmənt ənd ˈkɑntræktɪŋ fiz, ˈɔfən dɪˈdəktɪd frəm workers’’ ˈweɪʤɪz, meɪks ˈwərkərz ˈvəlnərəbəl tɪ dɛt ˈbɑndɪʤ. ə məˈleɪʒən ˈgəvərnmənt ˈpɑləsi ˈɪmpləˌmɛnəd ɪn ˈʤænjuˌɛri 2013 ðət ˈpleɪsɪz ðə ˈbərdən əv peɪɪŋ ˌɪməˈgreɪʃən ənd ɪmˈplɔɪmənt ˌɔθərəˈzeɪʃən fiz ɔn ˈfɔrən ˈwərkərz, ˈrəðər ðən ðə ɪmˈplɔɪərz, ˌɪnˈkrist ðɪs rɪsk.

whenneral electric moves to boston, it will instantly become the largest company by far based in massachusetts. but expect a massive headquarters to match. the industrial giant plans to employ about 800 people in boston by sometime in 2018, less than 1 percent of its current global workforce, and a far smaller head count than you will see at many local companies that are a fraction of its size. says that just 200 of those 800 boston jobs will be employees, with the rest being tech workers and a new energy business called current. advertisement for, the headquarters is a badge of honor, a sign that it can keep pace with the rapid changes in its industries and nott bogged down by corporate bureaucracy. some experts say also an indication of a trend taking shape, as a number of global companies shrink their corporate headquarters teams. get talking points in your inbox: an afternoon recap of the most important business news, delivered weekdays. sign up thank you for signing up! sign up for more newsletters here the most prominent early example: boeing took roughly half of its headquarters employees when it relocated in 2001 from seattle to chicago. last fall, food manufacturer conagra unveiled plans to move its headquarters to chicago, where it will employ about 700, while leaving behind a much bigger workforce in its hometown of omaha. in’s case, most of the jobs at its existing fairfield, conn., headquarters coming to boston. they will instead move to nearby norwalk, conn., or other locations in cities such as cincinnati. teleconferencing and other advances in communications technology make it easier to split up a workforce among several locations, chief executive jeffrey said. “the types want to be in a big downtown urban location, but they want to bring the entire corporate headquarters location because the real estate there is way more expensive,” said david collis, a harvard business school professor. “it’s ok for jeff, but he want it people sitting there.” to some extent, this shift to smaller headquarters mirrors a much bigger, parallel trend: the overall allocation of fewer square feet per worker. happening for two reasons. advertisement first, fewer individual offices and more open space can foster collaboration among employees. “there’s a drive tot rid of the corporate suite altogether,” said daniel, a principal at margulies architects in boston. but, as collis points out, saving money is a big motivation, too. chief executives often want urban locations, but they like the steep rents that go along with them. the result? being more selective about whots to work in a downtown headquarters versus in a less expensive satellite office. some companies even need a headquarters relocation to prompt the trimming: morgan stanley, for example, said in january that it would accelerate the shift of its back office work in new york to cities such as mumbai and budapest. “the days of ‘mad men’ with these downtown campuses with thousands of workers, those days are over,” said john boyd, a relocation consultant based in princeton, n.j. “ge wants to tap into the branding element of boston, the high-tech nature of the workforce, and all the image benefits that boston offers. [but] the economics mean that going to take as few jobs to boston as possible.” ge disclosed the full list of executives who will make the move, a transition that will begin this summer with the opening of a temporary fort point location. roughly half of’s direct reports run specific business lines and will physically stay with those operations, which have their own headquarters offices elsewhere. top executives moving to boston will include chief financial officer jeffrey bornstein,neral counsel alex dimitrief, human resources chief susan peters, and chief productivity officer philippe cochet. advertisement the headquarters, said in a recent interview, reflects “a desire to move more quickly.” without added layers of bureaucracy, decisions cant made faster, keeping up with the pace of innovation. the company has long given its executives more autonomy to run their specific business lines, such as aviation or health care, said bill, a senior lecturer at the mit sloan school of management. as a result, top managers have more accountability for their respective divisions, he said. the approach builds their leadership skills, plus it helps keep the corporate overhead to a minimum. “ge has always had a lighter headquarters staff than other companies because of this model,” said. that’s a stark contrast with the other global companies based in the boston area. retail giant cos., for example, employs about at its two headquarters campuses in framingham and marlborough, out of a workforce of nearly. about of state street employees work in the financial headquarters tower in downtown boston. technologies, meanwhile, employs about in cambridge out of its workforce. joe fallon, executive managing director at brokerage cushman & boston office, said nearly all of the big companies in greater boston grew up in the region. it makes sense, he said, for homegrown firms to have larger headquarters offices than a company that is moving here from another state. fallon said defense contractor raytheon co. might make the best local comparison. like, raytheon is a global high-tech manufacturer with several distinct operations, each with their own headquarters town. in case, only about 340 people work at the waltham headquarters, out of a worldwide workforce of. armando carbonell, planning department chairman at the lincoln institute of land policy in cambridge, said he sees an unintended consequence to this shift, as more companies relocate their headquarters into cities while dispatching workers to less expensive places: “you could imagine the san franciscos, the new yorks, and thetting even more unequal than they are now because firms are not bringing in [many of] their folks.” carbonell said hard to know how pervasive the use of “microheadquarters” will become, given the fact that corporate relocations exactly a common occurrence. “one of the reasons people do these corporate moves is a way to shed staff,” he said. “[but] also a way to reorganize and rethink how going to manage things.” due to an editing error, an earlier version of the chart with this story misstated fidelity investments’ total employment. it is. jon can be reached at . follow him on twitter	wɪn ˈʤɛnərəl ɪˈlɛktrɪk muvz tɪ ˈbɔstən, ɪt wɪl ˈɪnstəntli bɪˈkəm ðə ˈlɑrʤəst ˈkəmpəˌni baɪ fɑr beɪst ɪn ˌmæsəˈʧusəts. bət ɪkˈspɛkt ə ˈmæsɪv ˈhɛdˌkɔrtərz tɪ mæʧ. ðə ˌɪnˈdəstriəl ʤaɪənt plænz tɪ ɪmˈplɔɪ əˈbaʊt 800 ˈpipəl ɪn ˈbɔstən baɪ ˈsəmˌtaɪm ɪn 2018 lɛs ðən 1 pərˈsɛnt əv ɪts ˈkɑrənt ˈgloʊbəl ˈwərkˌfɔrs, ənd ə fɑr sˈmɔlər hɛd kaʊnt ðən ju wɪl si æt ˈmɛni ˈloʊkəl ˈkəmpəˌniz ðət ər ə ˈfrækʃən əv ɪts saɪz. sɪz ðət ʤɪst 200 əv ðoʊz 800 ˈbɔstən ʤɑbz wɪl bi ɪmˈplɔɪiz, wɪθ ðə rɛst biɪŋ tɛk ˈwərkərz ənd ə nu ˈɛnərʤi ˈbɪznɪs kɔld ˈkɑrənt. ˌædvərˈtaɪzmənt fər, ðə ˈhɛdˌkɔrtərz ɪz ə bæʤ əv ˈɑnər, ə saɪn ðət ɪt kən kip peɪs wɪθ ðə ˈræpɪd ˈʧeɪnʤɪz ɪn ɪts ˈɪndəstriz ənd nɑt gɪt bɔgd daʊn baɪ ˈkɔrpərət bjʊˈrɑkrəsi. səm ˈɛkspərts seɪ ˈɔlsoʊ ən ˌɪndəˈkeɪʃən əv ə trɛnd ˈteɪkɪŋ ʃeɪp, ɛz ə ˈnəmbər əv ˈgloʊbəl ˈkəmpəˌniz ʃrɪŋk ðɛr ˈkɔrpərət ˈhɛdˌkɔrtərz timz. gɪt ˈtɔkɪŋ pɔɪnts ɪn jʊr inbox: ən ˌæftərˈnun ˈriˌkæp əv ðə moʊst ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt ˈbɪznɪs nuz, dɪˈlɪvərd ˈwikˌdeɪz. saɪn əp θæŋk ju fər ˈsaɪnɪŋ əp!

"today is a sad day for the town of colcord," earp said in a written statement. "we have lost a fine officer and good friend. "steve is an officer that can quite never be replaced. while doing his job he was firm, but fair and always had a friendly, inviting demeanor. he served this town for many years and truly had its best interest at heart. he will always be in our hearts and forever missed." delaware county sheriff harlan moore said members of his department would cover their badges with a memorial band in memory of service. "he was very supportive of the office," moore said. "he covered us on a lot of calls down south. "he went out of his way many times to help the office on calls that we were involved in." delaware county commissioner martin kirk (district 3) echoed moore's sentiments. "he seemed to me to be a great guy," kirk said. "he'll be greatly missed." watch for additional information as this story develops.	ðə ˈdɛpjəti pəˈlis ʧif wɪθ ðə ˈkoʊlkərd pəˈlis dɪˈpɑrtmənt daɪd ɔn ˈθərzˌdeɪ, meɪ 19 waɪl ˈwərkɪŋ wɪθ ə ˈneɪbər. ˈstivən "stiv" ˈhɑrtmən, 74 wɑz ˈkətɪŋ ˈfaɪərˌwʊd ɪn ə ˈpæsʧər ɪn ˈkoʊlkərd wɪθ ˈhərmən ˈbɛnɪt wɪn hi kəˈlæpst. əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ˈdɛləˌwɛr ˈkaʊnti ˈʃɛrɪfs ˈkæptən geɪl wɛlz, ˈbɛnɪt ˌɪˈmiˌdiətli bɪˈgæn cpr, bət bət wɑz əˈneɪbəl tɪ rɪˈvaɪv ˈhɑrtmən. ˈmɛdɪkəl ˌpərsəˈnɛl ɔn ðə sin prəˈnaʊnst ˈhɑrtmən dɛd æt əˈprɑksəmətli a.m. wɛlz sɛd ˈmɛmbərz əv ˈfæməli, ɛz wɛl ˈkoʊlkərd pəˈlis ʧif ˈkɛvɪn ənd ˈdɛpjətiz wɪθ ðə ˈdɛləˌwɛr ˈkaʊnti ˈʃɛrɪfs ˈɔfəs ənd ˈimərʤənsi ˈmɛdɪkəl wər ɔn sin. ˈhɑrtmən hæd bɪn ə ˈmɛmbər əv ðə ˈkoʊlkərd pəˈlis dɪˈpɑrtmənt fər ðə pæst fɔr jɪrz. fər ə brif taɪm, hi sərvd ɛz ðə ˈɪnərəm ʧif əv pəˈlis. ˈhɑrtmən wɑz ˈɔlsoʊ ə rɪˈtaɪrd ˈmɛmbər əv ðə ˈsikrɪt ˈsərvɪs. ˈkoʊlkərd meɪər məˈlɪsə ərp ɪkˈsprɛst ˈsædnəs æt ðə nuz əv dɛθ.

self-driving electric cars? rad!! a train that can get you from new york to l.a. in a few hours? no way! a space program that could one day fly missions to mars and send tourists into orbit? holy shit! a new kind of roof tile? uh, sure. ok. aside from his drilling company that is literally called the boring company, newest endeavor to better mankind with solar roof tiles seems kind of dull. but it might be his most practical and affordable invention, depending on where you live. what makes the tesla solar roof a good investment is not just that it shaves a few dollars off of your monthly power bill, but that the tiles are practically indestructible meaning the roof will last a lifetime. the cost of a tesla solar roof ultimately depends on how much energy you need and the percentage of active solar tiles on the roof itself. to help people determine that, tesla also dropped a solar roof calculator with the release of the price this past summer, so people can estimate the exact cost and how much money the roof will save them in the long haul. determining the cost of a solar roof takes into account how much of the roof can be active solar tile and how much will just be the glass tiles. a glass tile, without the solar elements, costs $11 per square foot, and the solar tiles themselves are $42 per square foot. for most houses, tesla says only about 40 percent of the roof will be active solar, but the percentage of active tiles depends on how much energy a household needs. so, if you live in a city with cheap installation, good tax credit, and lots of sun (sorry, uk), the tesla solar roof might be the last roof have over your head. see also: inverse loot deals meet the pod the first bed that learns the perfect temperature for your sleep, and warms or cools according to your needs. buy now if you liked this video, probably want to watch this one, too: “solarwindow technology in action”	self-driving* ɪˈlɛktrɪk kɑz? ræd!! ə treɪn ðət kən gɪt ju frəm nu jɔrk tɪ l.a. ɪn ə fju aʊərz? noʊ weɪ! ə speɪs ˈproʊˌgræm ðət kʊd wən deɪ flaɪ ˈmɪʃənz tɪ mɑrz ənd sɛnd ˈtʊrɪsts ˈɪntu ˈɔrbət? ˈhoʊli ʃɪt! ə nu kaɪnd əv rʊf taɪl? ə, ʃʊr. ˈoʊˈkeɪ. əˈsaɪd frəm hɪz ˈdrɪlɪŋ ˈkəmpəˌni ðət ɪz ˈlɪtərəli kɔld ðə ˈbɔrɪŋ ˈkəmpəˌni, nuəst ɪnˈdɛvər tɪ ˈbɛtər ˈmænˈkaɪnd wɪθ ˈsoʊlər rʊf taɪlz simz kaɪnd əv dəl. bət ɪt maɪt bi hɪz moʊst ˈpræktɪkəl ənd əˈfɔrdəbəl ˌɪnˈvɛnʃən, dɪˈpɛndɪŋ ɔn wɛr ju lɪv. wət meɪks ðə ˈtɛzlə ˈsoʊlər rʊf ə gʊd ˌɪnˈvɛstmənt ɪz nɑt ʤɪst ðət ɪt ʃeɪvz ə fju ˈdɔlərz ɔf əv jʊr ˈmənθli paʊər bɪl, bət ðət ðə taɪlz ər ˈpræktɪkəli ˌɪndəˈstrəktɪbəl ˈminɪŋ ðə rʊf wɪl læst ə ˈlaɪfˌtaɪm. ðə kɔst əv ə ˈtɛzlə ˈsoʊlər rʊf ˈəltəmətli dɪˈpɛndz ɔn haʊ məʧ ˈɛnərʤi ju nid ənd ðə pərˈsɛnɪʤ əv ˈæktɪv ˈsoʊlər taɪlz ɔn ðə rʊf ˌɪtˈsɛlf. tɪ hɛlp ˈpipəl dɪˈtərmən ðət, ˈtɛzlə ˈɔlsoʊ drɑpt ə ˈsoʊlər rʊf ˈkælkjəˌleɪtər wɪθ ðə riˈlis əv ðə praɪs ðɪs pæst ˈsəmər, soʊ ˈpipəl kən ˈɛstəˌmeɪt ðə ɪgˈzækt kɔst ənd haʊ məʧ ˈməni ðə rʊf wɪl seɪv ðɛm ɪn ðə lɔŋ hɔl. dɪˈtərmənɪŋ ðə kɔst əv ə ˈsoʊlər rʊf teɪks ˈɪntu əˈkaʊnt haʊ məʧ əv ðə rʊf kən bi ˈæktɪv ˈsoʊlər taɪl ənd haʊ məʧ wɪl ʤɪst bi ðə glæs taɪlz. ə glæs taɪl, wɪˈθaʊt ðə ˈsoʊlər ˈɛləmənts, kɔsts 11 pər skwɛr fʊt, ənd ðə ˈsoʊlər taɪlz ðɛmˈsɛlvz ər 42 pər skwɛr fʊt. fər moʊst ˈhaʊsɪz, ˈtɛzlə sɪz ˈoʊnli əˈbaʊt 40 pərˈsɛnt əv ðə rʊf wɪl bi ˈæktɪv ˈsoʊlər, bət ðə pərˈsɛnɪʤ əv ˈæktɪv taɪlz dɪˈpɛndz ɔn haʊ məʧ ˈɛnərʤi ə ˈhaʊsˌhoʊld nidz. soʊ, ɪf ju lɪv ɪn ə ˈsɪti wɪθ ʧip ˌɪnstəˈleɪʃən, gʊd tæks ˈkrɛdɪt, ənd lɑts əv sən (ˈsɑri, uk), ðə ˈtɛzlə ˈsoʊlər rʊf maɪt bi ðə læst rʊf hæv ˈoʊvər jʊr hɛd. si ˈɔlsoʊ: ˌɪnˈvərs lut dilz mit ðə pɑd ðə fərst bɛd ðət lərnz ðə ˈpərˌfɪkt ˈtɛmpərəʧər fər jʊr slip, ənd wɔrmz ər kulz əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ jʊr nidz. baɪ naʊ ɪf ju laɪkt ðɪs ˈvɪdioʊ, ˈprɑbəˌbli wɔnt tɪ wɔʧ ðɪs wən, tu: tɛkˈnɑləʤi ɪn action”*”
mexico city, mexico a spaniard and a mexican are drinking and chatting at a bar. the mexican, economist rodrigo alcazar, has recently returned here from graduate studies in spain and is pondering the economic divergence between the two countries. “how can i put this nicely?” he asks then pauses dramatically, and smiles. “spain’s economy is totally ‘chingada!’” he says, using a stinging mexican expletive to drive the dire point home. a waiter sets down a large glass of beer. the spaniard, javier rodriguez, a marketer for spanish telecommunications company telefonica, knows his fouled up situation interminable recession and one of highest unemployment rates quite well. several years ago, rodriguez left spain to try his luck in the americas. after working a string of jobs in central america, he settled in mexico last year. he might have returned home if he could, but failed to secure full-time work that would have enabled him to do so. it turns out rodriguez is not the only spaniard fleeing hard times. spain’s economy had surged for much of the past few decades, luring latin americans in droves to brave migration overseas for a better life in what many of them consider “la madre patria.” but now, with spain in the doldrums, the latin american influx there is waning, and many spaniards are doing what javier rodriguez did: coming to the americas, where economic indicators point admirably upward, not down. “i know people from spain who are going to come here to try to open a business because it is so hard to get financing [in spain]. a liquidity shortage,” rodriguez says. all this pondering and pilsner sipping is taking place at a popular, upscale cantina called la cerveceria nacional, which overlooks mexico plaza de la madrid, a park with a statue government gave to mexico in 1980. at that time, nascent democracy was emerging from total isolation after a dictatorship, and the country sought to build commercial relations with its former colony. today, spain wants even closer ties. “we need more ibero-america,” spanish king juan carlos said in november at a summit in the andalusian town of cadiz, using the term describing the links between the iberian peninsula and huge swath of lands in the americas once called new spain. many spanish emigres and corporations from telecoms to energy, real estate and hospitality firms appear to have obliged him they're seeking new opportunities in latin america. chilean president sebastian piñera, in remarks at a january conference of european and latin american leaders, summed up why: “the european union is going through a very difficult time in terms of its economic crisis, stagnation, unemployment and fiscal deficits [while] latin america is going through a very positive period, both compared to the rest of the world and to its own history.” indeed, more than two decades removed from its own debt crisis, latin america now looks like an enticing option. its growth trajectory could still see hurdles placed by weaknesses in the euro zone and china. still, the united nations and the international monetary fund forecast latin america's gross domestic product to expand percent this year, up from percent in 2012, and some of the national economies could perform far better than that. the said its growth estimate is "supported by a pickup in external demand, favorable financing conditions, and the impact of earlier policy easing in some countries." by contrast, the spanish government expects its economy to contract percent this year, about the same rate it shrank last year. spanish multinationals expanding here is hardly novel, but some have been reaping new rewards. more from: euro crisis prompts portuguese to return to former colony in the 1990s, spanish banks such as santander and launched an unprecedented expansion effort in latin america. two decades later, some of the investment is paying off. in 2011, both banks earned more in latin america than they did in spain. the same pattern unfolded in 2012. despite writing off more than $7.7 billion in bad spanish property loans, santander, the euro largest bank according to market capitalization, posted profits of $2.6 billion that year, helped by strong returns on its operations on this side of the atlantic. in 2012, santander raked in $19.1 billion in latin america almost double the $9.8 billion the company earned in its home market of continental europe. on march 21,’s executive chairman, francisco gonzalez, traveled to mexico city to announce a plan to invest $3.5 billion in mexico by 2016. mexico “has a solid and robust financial system that contrasts, without a doubt, with those [systems] in other parts of the world,” gonzalez said at a press conference, speaking alongside mexico's president. latin america also generates substantial revenues for other early investors, such as energy firms and. in 2012, generated more hydroelectric power in latin america than in spain and portugal put together. in 2009, spanish energy giant built latin largest wind farm in mexico. by the end of 2012 had more than doubled its wind output in mexico. spanish hoteliers are already well established across the continent, and some are planning further expansion. “we think there will be a very positive evolution in the caribbean and in latin america,” gabriel escarrer, the billionaire ceo of melia hotels international, said at a january 2012 travel industry conference in madrid. as a result of all the movement and reversed economic trends, traditional migration patterns are reversing. overall, fewer migrants went to spain from latin america during in comparison with the previous three years. in 2011, the number of latin americans granted residency in spain fell to half of the figure reported in 2007. “spain had a lot of people from peru and ecuador, but now with the crisis the latinos who came to spain for jobs are going back [home] ... they have work,” rodriguez says. meanwhile, countries like brazil, chile, mexico and others have become top destinations for spanish young professionals. during the last three months of 2012, mexico's immigration office issued work permits for spaniards. a number of economic factors could be at play. although the 2008 global recession translated into an immediate contraction in mexico, experts say the economic reforms the country had adopted over the previous two decades helped mexico avoid a more serious collapse and also recover relatively quickly. more analysis: latin american equality free markets or a success story? whereas corporate exposure to the global financial crisis was limited to isolated instances of debt problems, such as at cement maker cemex and supermarket retailer mexicana, entire construction, banking and infrastructure industries have plunged into an ongoing state of calamity. now, as economy delves deeper into recession, finance ministry predicts the economy could grow by 4 percent in 2013, although the un sees the figure slightly lower. mexico reports an unemployment rate of only percent. in spain, the jobless rate is 27 percent its worst since the franco dictatorship. to be sure, the numbers tell a fraction of the story. mexico still struggles with entrenched inequality. pockets of south and low-income areas of the industrial north remain far more underdeveloped and impoverished than any part of spain. many low-income residents in mexico struggle with limited access to public services and formal sector jobs, analysts say. about a third of workforce out a living in the “informal sector” a designation that includes window washers, unregistered taco venders, shoe shiners, migrant workers, and domestic helpers. those services are in demand for mexicans and foreigners like the spaniards who come to work here like the kind that come to la nacional. “in la roma and condesa, [the two upscale neighborhoods that surround la cerveceria,] there are a ton of spaniards,” says rodriguez, the telefonica employee, looking down at his massive mug of beer. he adds, “mexico has more poverty and inequality, but continuing to grow.” more analysis: ¿como se dice

turntableela, gang sign. undefeated sc. before top 4. on in a time before time, when prepaid roamed the earth, when corps still had ice that mattered, when geeks still sucked a humble emerged with one simple dream: to publish a criminal deck using all of the new cards from the most recently released data pack together, in one unstoppable god-deck. because if gang sign, drive-by and gang member supposed to be in the same deck together then why were they all in the same data pack? thus was born the original turntable, thrust onto the prestigious cover pages of 8 months ago. is back again, with all 46 of his old tricks and a few new ones. can you counts? i say the future is ours… if you can count. leela patel: trained pragmatist event (17) 3x account siphon 3x dirty laundry 1x employee strike 2x inside job 2x legwork 3x special order 3x sure (7) 3x interface 1x 3x turntable••••resource (13) 2x armitage 3x bank job 1x data dealer 3x gang sign 2x kati jones 2x same old thing icebreaker (8) 1x• 2x 1x femme 1x inti 1x mongoose 1x passport 1x key masterprogram (1) 1x medium•• 15 influence spent (max 15) 46 cards (min 45) cards up to some people think easy to be a pragmatist, but it takes 2 years of studying pragmatism at community college before graduating into a pragmatist apprenticeship for a few years, networking with all of the established pragmatists and getting to know the business before paying $80 to take the exam on a saturday for your pragmatist certification. our hero, being a proper union pragmatist, anticipated a heavy presence of decks in his event, accordingly and was rewarded by getting paired against and subsequently crushing most of his games. having a clear read on your one of the most important things you can do to ensure your success in an event, the second most important thing you can do to ensure success is pointing behind your opponents while shouting “hey look, matt zellinger!” and the board while their backs are turned. the deck when approaching this list, the rig was the first thing i wanted to look at. when your rig is setup to break things the old fashioned way, things become very easy to analyze. since i actually have better things to do than plot all of the ice in the game on a spreadsheet to determine how much money a deck needs to access servers look at the rig on where this work has already been done for us. breaker average cost to break: corroder inti femme mongoose faerie passport zule for obvious reasons we will throw out inti and set aside too since more of a trick than a breaker.. barriers sentries code gates 4 overall break average (3.78+4.5+4)/3 = ~ 4 on average, we should expect to need 4 credits per ice protecting a server to successfully run, which particularly good or perfectly accurate but in the middle of a game you need a place to start from when there are unknowns to help make decisions. but chill, this is a criminal deck why should we bother doing remote server math if we are just going to steal agendas from everywhere else? good question, to answer that, let me put on my pretentious cap for a moment… contrary to what is printed in the manual, the golden rule of is: “your cards actually do what they say they do.” the printed text on neural claims that it deals damage to an opponent but after you it, with visions of sugar plums and dancing in your head, your opponent actually just spends a credit and steals your agenda. with that in mind, let me twist this cap sideways so we can talk about gang sign. gang sign andi threaten to “legwork” your opponent when they score; however, they actually just force your opponent to slow down and set up their hand before they do. jackson howard is the natural enemy of this plan. to bring it all together, motivating people to keep agendas in hand by threatening the remote, and removing jackson from the board will be the primary elements of the strategy this deck is trying to execute. before you sleeve up i think this criminal plan is not at all unreasonable. turntable is one of the thugs that are holding corps down while kick them in the ribs. this is just feels behind the curve for the current environment. against yellow, when you can easily siphon for profit at will, and have a never ending stream of hate cards the deck is fine. however, in the typical it will struggle with too many wasted clicks drawing redundant cards and setting up econ. the only sign this gang is throwing up is “slow children at play”. but if you love click drawing and watching your opponents play without you try making these tweaks first: -2i-1 dirty laundry -1 special order -1 turntable -2 armitage -1 data dealer +2 career +3 daily casts conclusions given what learned about gang sign pressuring jackson, i think the best use of gang sign is in a deck that already pressures jackson. denial deck really sings with a turntable. take out a faust and an inside job for a turntable and a special order. support your local pragmatists, chill84 advertisements	turntableela, gæŋ saɪn. ˌəndɪˈfitɪd sc. ˌbiˈfɔr tɔp 4 ɔn ɪn ə taɪm ˌbiˈfɔr taɪm, wɪn priˈpeɪd roʊmd ðə ərθ, wɪn kɔrz stɪl hæd aɪs ðət ˈmætərd, wɪn giks stɪl səkt ə ˈhəmbəl ˈimərʤd wɪθ wən ˈsɪmpəl drim: tɪ ˈpəblɪʃ ə ˈkrɪmənəl dɛk ˈjuzɪŋ ɔl əv ðə nu kɑrdz frəm ðə moʊst ˈrisəntli riˈlist ˈdætə pæk təˈgɛðər, ɪn wən ənˈstɑpəbəl god-deck. bɪˈkəz ɪf gæŋ saɪn, ˈdraɪvˈbaɪ ənd gæŋ ˈmɛmbər səˈpoʊzd tɪ bi ɪn ðə seɪm dɛk təˈgɛðər ðɛn waɪ wər ðeɪ ɔl ɪn ðə seɪm ˈdætə pæk?

I received a large red envelope with my name on it. It's a pretty envelope. I've never said that about an envelope before. The contents- -red ear muffs that have some sparkle on the top of it. This is my first pair of ear muffs and I like them. They are soft, fluffy and will keep my ears warm. -rose bracelet with rose ring attached- This is my first pair of a combined bracelet and ring, I have always wanted one of these. Rose is my favorite flower. Turquoise earrings and necklace. I really like the color and the shape of the beads. I don't have anything with squares on it.

ufc 221: rockhold vs romero live stream (pay-per-view) tv. on saturday morning perth, australia night in the 221 main event and the middleweight division fell into even more chaos when no. 1 contender romero failed to make weight for a hastily thrown together interim title match. this was after romero took the fight on short notice following the withdrawal of middleweight champion robert whittaker, who was only promoted to lineal champ after georges won the belt and handed it back like a hot potato. == match info == event : 221 player : rockhold vs romero date : february 10, 2018 time : pm et live/repeat:live yes, we have ourselves a mess going on, which may be compounded further depending on the result of the fight between romero and no. 2 contender luke rockhold. if rockhold wins, he unequivocally becomes the next in line to fight whittaker, but if romero wins, then what? after missing weight, he is ineligible for the interim belt, but hell, a “belt” in name only. “interim” means whatever the wants it to. are you excited to pay your $65 yet?! drama aside, romero vs. rockhold is still an excellent stylistic bout between two dynamic fighters who wield danger from opening horn to closing bell. by virtue of his no. 1 ranking, start with romero (12-2), who was installed as a slight favorite in the bout, only to see the odds tilt recently toward his opponent. the cuban wrestling olympian is nearing his birthday, and though he still looks like an updated version of leonardo da man, time is a key factor in everything about his career going forward. it is a factor in his championship desires, in the months between bouts, in the length of main events, and apparently, in the time necessary to cut down to 185 pounds. even in the way he fights, romero seems to express feelings of timing and tempo. he is patient, and is intent on keeping his own laborious pace, punctuated by sudden, explosive bursts designed to maim and mangle. this extreme style is often hypnotic for opponents who must account for the danger waiting around some unforeseen corner. whittaker, who was last opponent in july 2017, was one of the first to actively and consistently attempt to mitigate that risk by continually leading, particularly with a front kick that had romero backpedaling and served as an effective deterrent against favored jump knee. romero’s boxing game particularly amazing but he has powerful hands and his left hand has gotten straighter and sharper with time and practice. really, his legs and knees that bring the danger. even though he lost to whittaker, romero essentially battered him into a one-legged fighter with low kicks early. his flying knee is the stuff of nightmares, as both chris weidman and clifford starks can attest to. his knockout power is one of the factors that often holds back aggression from opponents; the other is his wrestling ability. statistically, romero is actually a artist. during his career, completed a staggeringly low 32 percent of his attempts, per fightmetric. against whittaker, for example, he was successful on just four of his 18 tries, and that was against an opponent compromised by injury. the stat is somewhat misleading however; romero is so experienced that he seems to feel out the moment and know when to explode into the and when to pull back and reroute his energy into a fence-grind. partly because romero always need a to make his effort worthwhile. remember, his style is to fights in bursts. so not opposed to trying a, and if he fails, alternating to plan b: pushing his opponent against the fence, putting his weight on him, helping along the onset of fatigue. alternately, when he feels low resistance, he also can overwhelm opponents in the clinch. while romero has five finishes, proving dangerous all the way through a fight, it is his propensity to find rest spots during the action that makes him susceptible against more active opponents. rockhold (16-3) fits that profile. historically, he lands strikes per minute compared to for romero. the californian centers nearly all of his offense off of two techniques: the left wheel kick and the right hook. the rangy, is adept at using his reach advantage. he likes to walk opponents down, leading with kicks, then into a counter hook when his opponent attempts to step into a strike. this is his best technique but also among his riskiest. rockhold often to the check hook and if he misses, ends out of position and in line for a counter. exactly the sequence that preceded his first knockdown at the hands of michael bisping in his shocking title loss. david branch also took advantage of the issue in most recent fight. in some ways, the vs. matchup against romero helps safeguard rockhold from that situation because if he to the hook and misses, he falls off to weaker right-hand side. still, against an improvisational striker, a danger spot. rockhold’s defense will no doubt be tested. for his career, successfully stopped 68 percent of attempts against him. a solid number, and it will have to hold up to give him his best chance. when he is taken down though, he is adept at to his feet. training with smother wrestlers like daniel cormier and cain velasquez has certainly played dividends there. it also be shocking to see rockhold attempt to put romero on his back. rockhold may have the best in the division, with slicing passes and an mount that leads to striking and submission opportunities. his abilities there are rivaled only by brazilian phenom “jacare” souza. his hellacious kicks to the body are one of his main weapons but he may be forced to adopt a different tactic here as again, the matchup ofs takes away one of his favored targets. against an orthodox fighter, rockhold would have an open line to the body, but against romero his left leg will have a to his back and shoulders. in addressing that change, rockhold may resort to switching stances as he occasionally does, or he may spend more time attacking legs with his own. in assessing the bout, the current moneyline seems right. romero fights in bursts, and while it often results in brilliant individual of which end in also by nature minimizes his chances of winning a long slog. he has survived this in the past with late finishes, but those always come against truly elite competition. any doubt in his energy stores is only exacerbated by failure to make weight. he is almost certainly more physically depleted than normal. against whittaker, he lost all of the last three rounds. now nearing 41 and drained, and that does not sound like a winning combination. rockhold is younger and more active, and has the length and firepower to frustrate bursts. as romero slows down, rockhold catches him and finishes him with a submission.	ufc* 221 ˈrɑˌkhoʊld ˈvərsəz roʊˈmɛroʊ lɪv strim (pay-per-view) ˌtɛləˈvɪʒən. ɔn ˈsæˌtɪˌdeɪ ˈmɔrnɪŋ pərθ, ɔˈstreɪljə naɪt ɪn ðə 221 meɪn ɪˈvɛnt ənd ðə ˈmɪdəlˌweɪt dɪˈvɪʒən fɛl ˈɪntu ˈivɪn

hbo's westworld made its debut saturday with the cast and creators of the futuristic sci-fi drama reflecting on the twists and turns of season one while remaining about any season two details. the only thing lisa joy and jonah nolan did reveal was the show's plan to avoid production delays that plagued its freshman run. nolan said that the married duo would write all 10 episodes before production begins on season two. the producers declined to say when production would actually begin. that marks a change from season one. after wrapping its first season in december, hbo and producers nolan and joy announced that the sophomore run would not debut until 2018. the first season, which is estimated to have come with a $100 million price tag, was originally set to debut in 2015. picked up to pilot in august 2013 and ordered to series in november 2014 under former hbo programming president michael lombardo, the futuristic western was the subject of swirling rumors about its messy production process for months. the show ultimately was shut down from dec. 1, 2015, to feb. 1, 2016, to allow nolan and joy time to catch up on scripts, with the show rumored at one point to be pushed to 2017. sources say it was nolan who fought for the production to get up and running again so the series did not lose its california tax credit. following a few production delays to help producers keep up with the deeply serialized nature of the twisty drama, the ambitious show launched in october to strong reviews and a lot of buzz for stars including evan rachel wood (dolores), newton (maeve), ed harris (the man in black), jeffrey wright (bernard), james marsden (teddy) and simpson (william). nolan and joy who welcomed a baby three weeks ago largely remained on season two of westworld. what is known is that the season one finale helped set the stage to explore a second world as part of the futuristic amusement park after seeing "sw" "samurai world" in another area of the park following the host revolt. (stars including wood, newton, marsden and harris all told the hollywood reporter on the red carpet ahead of the panel that they didn't know a thing about season two and hadn't been preparing for anything samurai related.) "yes, some of us will go and do the second season," newton said while reflecting on the show's vocal fans on twitter and how much she enjoys following along. the actress compared fan reaction on social media to how the cast felt upon reading the scripts for the first time. "it's a musical!" joked nolan when asked what season two is about, before noting that has already figured out the twist ,and we're changing that one out!" when asked specifically if the show will venture into new worlds, he deadpanned, "that'd be cool, wouldn't it?" nolan also expressed his frustration with viewers who figured out the big twists of season one and some who about it and encouraged fans to avoid spoiling anything online. said joy: "if you want to be surprised, you have to censor yourself from the internet." here are a couple other highlights from the panel: • "i've been waiting for the message boards on to tell us! the way we designed and shot it that is the first decision she has ever made of her own free will," nolan said when asked if maeve going back to westworld to search for her daughter was really a decision the host made for herself. • after praising all the actors who played hosts in season one, harris may have had the best quote of the night with this thread: "i just don't want to be naked and i don't want to wear a samurai suit and i'm saying that publicly! i'm a man in black, not a man in a samurai suit! samurais don't wear hats!" bookmark for full show coverage.	hbo's* ˈwɛstˌwərld meɪd ɪts ˈdeɪbju ˈsæˌtɪˌdeɪ wɪθ ðə kæst ənd kriˈeɪtərz əv ðə fˌjuʧərˈɪstɪk ˌsaɪˈfaɪ ˈdrɑmə rɪˈflɛktɪŋ ɔn ðə twɪsts ənd tərnz əv ˈsizən wən waɪl rɪˈmeɪnɪŋ əˈbaʊt ˈɛni ˈsizən tu ˈditeɪlz. ðə ˈoʊnli θɪŋ ˈlisə ʤɔɪ ənd ˈʤoʊnə ˈnoʊlən dɪd rɪˈvil wɑz ðə ʃoʊz plæn tɪ əˈvɔɪd pərˈdəkʃən dɪˈleɪz ðət pleɪgd ɪts ˈfrɛʃmən rən. ˈnoʊlən sɛd ðət ðə ˈmɛrid ˈduoʊ wʊd raɪt ɔl 10 ˈɛpɪˌsoʊdz ˌbiˈfɔr pərˈdəkʃən bɪˈgɪnz ɔn ˈsizən tu. ðə prəˈdusərz dɪˈklaɪnd tɪ seɪ wɪn pərˈdəkʃən wʊd ˈæˌkʧuəli bɪˈgɪn. ðət mɑrks ə ʧeɪnʤ frəm ˈsizən wən. ˈæftər ˈræpɪŋ ɪts fərst ˈsizən ɪn dɪˈsɛmbər, ˈeɪʧbiˈoʊ ənd prəˈdusərz ˈnoʊlən ənd ʤɔɪ əˈnaʊnst ðət ðə ˈsɑfˌmɔr rən wʊd nɑt ˈdeɪbju ənˈtɪl 2018 ðə fərst ˈsizən, wɪʧ ɪz ˈɛstəˌmeɪtɪd tɪ hæv kəm wɪθ ə 100 ˈmɪljən praɪs tæg, wɑz ərˈɪʤənəli sɛt tɪ ˈdeɪbju ɪn 2015 pɪkt əp tɪ ˈpaɪlət ɪn ˈɔgəst 2013 ənd ˈɔrdərd tɪ ˈsɪriz ɪn noʊˈvɛmbər 2014 ˈəndər ˈfɔrmər ˈeɪʧbiˈoʊ ˈproʊˌgræmɪŋ ˈprɛzɪdənt ˈmaɪkəl lɑmˈbɑrdoʊ, ðə fˌjuʧərˈɪstɪk ˈwɛstərn wɑz ðə ˈsəbʤɪkt əv sˈwərlɪŋ ˈrumərz əˈbaʊt ɪts ˈmɛsi pərˈdəkʃən ˈprɔˌsɛs fər mənθs. ðə ʃoʊ ˈəltəmətli wɑz ʃət daʊn frəm dɛk. 1 2015 tɪ ˈfɛbjəˌwɛri. 1 2016 tɪ əˈlaʊ ˈnoʊlən ənd ʤɔɪ taɪm tɪ kæʧ əp ɔn skrɪpts, wɪθ ðə ʃoʊ ˈrumərd æt wən pɔɪnt tɪ bi pʊʃt tɪ 2017 ˈsɔrsəz seɪ ɪt wɑz ˈnoʊlən hu fɔt fər ðə pərˈdəkʃən tɪ gɪt əp ənd ˈrənɪŋ əˈgɛn soʊ ðə ˈsɪriz dɪd nɑt luz ɪts ˌkæləˈfɔrnjə tæks ˈkrɛdɪt. ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ə fju pərˈdəkʃən dɪˈleɪz tɪ hɛlp prəˈdusərz kip əp wɪθ ðə ˈdipli ˈsɪˌriəˌlaɪzd ˈneɪʧər əv ðə tˈwɪsti ˈdrɑmə, ðə æmˈbɪʃəs ʃoʊ lɔnʧt ɪn ɑkˈtoʊbər tɪ strɔŋ rəvˈjuz ənd ə lɔt əv bəz fər stɑrz ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ˈɛvən ˈreɪʧəl wʊd (dəˈlɔrɪs), ˈnutən (məɛv), ɛd ˈhɛrɪs (ðə mæn ɪn blæk), ˈʤɛfri raɪt (ˈbərnərd), ʤeɪmz ˈmɑrsdən (ˈtɛdi) ənd ˈsɪmpsən (ˈwɪljəm). ˈnoʊlən ənd ʤɔɪ hu ˈwɛlkəmd ə ˈbeɪbi θri wiks əˈgoʊ ˈlɑrʤli rɪˈmeɪnd ɔn ˈsizən tu əv ˈwɛstˌwərld. wət ɪz noʊn ɪz ðət ðə ˈsizən wən fəˈnæli hɛlpt sɛt ðə steɪʤ tɪ ɪkˈsplɔr ə ˈsɛkənd wərld ɛz pɑrt əv ðə fˌjuʧərˈɪstɪk əmˈjuzmənt pɑrk ˈæftər siɪŋ "sw" "ˈsæmʊˌraɪ wərld" ɪn əˈnəðər ˈɛriə əv ðə pɑrk ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ðə hoʊst rɪˈvoʊlt.

please enable javascript to watch this video henrico county, -- firefighters deployed their water rescue unit wednesday for a call about a duck trapped in the ice. the rescue happened at a retention pond at a shopping center in the 9990 block of brook road. when firefighters arrived, they found a duck that looked like it was in distress. it so happened that the water rescue team was set to train at another location at around the same time. so, fire department leaders decided to send the team to the pond instead, so they could practice in a real situation. the rescue crews say the duck was a little suspicious of the rescue effort at first. eventually, though, the water rescue team was able to catch it. firefighters say the water rescue team was able to get some great practice by deploying to the rescue. if you see an animal in trouble on the ice, firefighters urge you to not try to rescue it yourself.	pliz ɪˈneɪbəl ˈʤɑvəˌskrɪpt tɪ wɔʧ ðɪs ˈvɪdioʊ ˈkaʊnti, ˈfaɪərˌfaɪtərz dɪˈplɔɪd ðɛr ˈwɔtər ˈrɛskju ˈjunɪt ˈwɛnzˌdeɪ fər ə kɔl əˈbaʊt ə dək træpt ɪn ðə aɪs. ðə ˈrɛskju ˈhæpənd æt ə riˈtɛnʃən pɑnd æt ə ˈʃɑpɪŋ ˈsɛnər ɪn ðə 9990 blɑk əv brʊk roʊd. wɪn ˈfaɪərˌfaɪtərz əraɪvd, ðeɪ faʊnd ə dək ðət lʊkt laɪk ɪt wɑz ɪn dɪˈstrɛs. ɪt soʊ ˈhæpənd ðət ðə ˈwɔtər ˈrɛskju tim wɑz sɛt tɪ treɪn æt əˈnəðər loʊˈkeɪʃən æt əraʊnd ðə seɪm taɪm. soʊ, faɪər dɪˈpɑrtmənt ˈlidərz ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd tɪ sɛnd ðə tim tɪ ðə pɑnd ˌɪnˈstɛd, soʊ ðeɪ kʊd ˈpræktɪs ɪn ə ril ˌsɪʧuˈeɪʃən. ðə ˈrɛskju kruz seɪ ðə dək wɑz ə ˈlɪtəl səˈspɪʃəs əv ðə ˈrɛskju ˈɛfərt æt fərst. ɪˈvɛnʧəwəli, ðoʊ, ðə ˈwɔtər ˈrɛskju tim wɑz ˈeɪbəl tɪ kæʧ ɪt. ˈfaɪərˌfaɪtərz seɪ ðə ˈwɔtər ˈrɛskju tim wɑz ˈeɪbəl tɪ gɪt səm greɪt ˈpræktɪs baɪ dɪˈplɔɪɪŋ tɪ ðə ˈrɛskju. ɪf ju si ən ˈænəməl ɪn ˈtrəbəl ɔn ðə aɪs, ˈfaɪərˌfaɪtərz ərʤ ju tɪ nɑt traɪ tɪ ˈrɛskju ɪt ˈjɔrsɛlf.
it’s been several years in the making but the first is nearly upon us. the ubuntu edition will finally go on sale starting next week although not the same handset that was promised a few years ago. canonical, the group behind the ubuntu linux distribution, launched a campaign in the summer of 2013. the campaign aimed to raise an astronomical $32 million to fund the creation of what would have been a running the ubuntu operating system, the ubuntu edge. while canonical managed to raise a record $12.8 million, it fell far from the initial goal. the intentions to launch an handset never wavered, however, which is how we got to the ubuntu edition. the handset is actually a been loaded with ubuntu. this phone features a modest display with a resolution of 540 x 960 and is powered by a clocked at 1.3ghz. also of ram, of internal storage and an camera. canonical is pricing the phone at just ($195), far cheaper than the $695 that the ubuntu edge would have set buyers back. be offered initially through a fire sale next week with a handful of european carriers. canonical is still working on its us device strategy but as of writing, no timeline for a launch outside of europe.	it’s* bɪn ˈsɛvərəl jɪrz ɪn ðə ˈmeɪkɪŋ bət ðə fərst ɪz ˈnɪrli əˈpɑn ˈjuˈɛs. ðə ˌuˈbuˌtu ɪˈdɪʃən wɪl ˈfaɪnəli goʊ ɔn seɪl ˈstɑrtɪŋ nɛkst wik ˌɔlˈðoʊ nɑt ðə seɪm ˈhændˌsɛt ðət wɑz ˈprɑməst ə fju jɪrz əˈgoʊ. kəˈnɑnəkəl, ðə grup bɪˈhaɪnd ðə ˌuˈbuˌtu ˈlɪnəks ˌdɪstrəˈbjuʃən, lɔnʧt ə kæmˈpeɪn ɪn ðə ˈsəmər əv 2013 ðə kæmˈpeɪn eɪmd tɪ reɪz ən ˌæstrəˈnɑmɪkəl 32 ˈmɪljən tɪ fənd ðə kriˈeɪʃən əv wət wʊd hæv bɪn ə ˈrənɪŋ ðə ˌuˈbuˌtu ˈɔpərˌeɪtɪŋ ˈsɪstəm, ðə ˌuˈbuˌtu ɛʤ. waɪl kəˈnɑnəkəl ˈmænɪʤd tɪ reɪz ə ˈrɛkərd ˈmɪljən, ɪt fɛl fɑr frəm ðə ˌɪˈnɪʃəl goʊl. ðə ˌɪnˈtɛnʧənz tɪ lɔnʧ ən ˈhændˌsɛt ˈnɛvər ˈweɪvərd, ˌhaʊˈɛvər, wɪʧ ɪz haʊ wi gɑt tɪ ðə ˌuˈbuˌtu ɪˈdɪʃən. ðə ˈhændˌsɛt ɪz ˈæˌkʧuəli ə bɪn ˈloʊdɪd wɪθ ˌuˈbuˌtu. ðɪs foʊn ˈfiʧərz ə ˈmɑdəst dɪˈspleɪ wɪθ ə ˌrɛzəˈluʃən əv 540 ɛks 960 ənd ɪz paʊərd baɪ ə klɑkt æt 1.3ghz*. ˈɔlsoʊ əv ræm, əv ˌɪnˈtərnəl ˈstɔrɪʤ ənd ən ˈkæmərə. kəˈnɑnəkəl ɪz ˈpraɪsɪŋ ðə foʊn æt ʤɪst 195 fɑr ˈʧipər ðən ðə 695 ðət ðə ˌuˈbuˌtu ɛʤ wʊd hæv sɛt baɪərz bæk. bi ˈɔfərd ˌɪˈnɪʃəli θru ə faɪər seɪl nɛkst wik wɪθ ə ˈhændˌfʊl əv ˌjʊrəˈpiən ˈkɛriərz. kəˈnɑnəkəl ɪz stɪl ˈwərkɪŋ ɔn ɪts ˈjuˈɛs dɪˈvaɪs ˈstrætəʤi bət ɛz əv ˈraɪtɪŋ, noʊ ˈtaɪmlaɪn fər ə lɔnʧ ˈaʊtˈsaɪd əv ˈjʊrəp.
proving that no one learned from security and privacy spectacle , people invested $1.2 million in an app that had essentially no security. despite the news it was hacked only days after its media fanfare, yo still isn't coming clean. last week free android and ios app "yo" was top in google play and itunes downloads and hot in tech press, with much fanfare focusing on its pointlessness, popularity and sizable cash backing. by friday night the app had been hacked five ways until sunday (literally). smart of yo to by everyone's phone numbers. prof. jeff h jarvis (@profjeffjarvis) june 20, 2014 after friday night's report yo had been hacked and people were sending "yos" as musk (among other things), yo founder or arbel told that yo was “having security issues.” on saturday arbel wrote in a medium post, "we were lucky enough to get hacked at an early stage and the issue has been fixed." if you used the find friends feature, the only piece of information that was leaked was your yo username. the optional feature of find friends uses your phone number to let you know who of your friends are using yo. i want to make it clear that your contacts (from your address book) are never stored in the database, and were never leaked because we simply store them. but that's not exactly true. yes, it's possible to grab anyone's phone number on yo. jason dinh (@xuki) june 20, 2014 in terms of safeguarding user information, yo left the baby in the shopping cart at the grocery store during a zombie outbreak of pedobears. @ws with enough poking, you can find their entire database of all sent which has the of everyone. joe (@jtorraca) june 20, 2014 "yo" application is reading your full contact book and is probably creating a huge database of users like did.

local roots cofounder and ceo eric ellestad in one of the company's indoor farms. garfield by 2050, the world will need to feed billion people— billion more than today. a growing movement of people believes that indoor farming could be a solution to the increasing demand for food. instead of natural sunlight, crops grow under led lights and in a solution that mimics soil. using this technique, farmers can grow produce in urban areas, monitor progress with embedded sensors, and deliver produce within hours of harvest. a startup called local roots makes indoor farms, called, from shipping containers. the team operates the farms near its customers, which include large corporate offices is one of them) as well as giant distribution centers for restaurants and grocery stores. local roots will deploy more than 100 new in 2018. the company is also moving into a new, manufacturing and headquarters in vernon, california. we toured a farm in new york city in early december. take a look inside below.	ˈloʊkəl ruts ˈkoʊˈfaʊndər ənd ˈsiˌiˈoʊ ˈɛrɪk ˈɛlɪstəd ɪn wən əv ðə ˈkəmpəniz ˈɪnˌdɔr fɑrmz. ˈgɑrˌfild baɪ 2050 ðə wərld wɪl nid tɪ fid ˈbɪljən people—*— ˈbɪljən mɔr ðən təˈdeɪ. ə groʊɪŋ ˈmuvmənt əv ˈpipəl bɪˈlivz ðət ˈɪnˌdɔr ˈfɑrmɪŋ kʊd bi ə səˈluʃən tɪ ðə ˌɪnˈkrisɪŋ dɪˈmænd fər fud. ˌɪnˈstɛd əv ˈnæʧərəl ˈsənˌlaɪt, krɑps groʊ ˈəndər lɛd laɪts ənd ɪn ə səˈluʃən ðət ˈmɪmɪks sɔɪl. ˈjuzɪŋ ðɪs tɛkˈnik, ˈfɑrmərz kən groʊ ˈproʊdus ɪn ˈərbən ˈɛriəz, ˈmɑnətər ˈprɑˌgrɛs wɪθ ɛmˈbɛdɪd ˈsɛnsərz, ənd dɪˈlɪvər ˈproʊdus wɪˈθɪn aʊərz əv ˈhɑrvəst. ə ˈstɑrˌtəp kɔld ˈloʊkəl ruts meɪks ˈɪnˌdɔr fɑrmz, kɔld, frəm ˈʃɪpɪŋ kənˈteɪnərz. ðə tim ˈɑpərˌeɪts ðə fɑrmz nɪr ɪts ˈkəstəmərz, wɪʧ ˌɪnˈklud lɑrʤ ˈkɔrpərət ˈɔfəsɪz ɪz wən əv ðɛm) ɛz wɛl ɛz ʤaɪənt ˌdɪstrəˈbjuʃən ˈsɛnərz fər ˈrɛˌstrɑnts ənd ˈgroʊsəri stɔrz. ˈloʊkəl ruts wɪl dɪˈplɔɪ mɔr ðən 100 nu ɪn 2018 ðə ˈkəmpəˌni ɪz ˈɔlsoʊ ˈmuvɪŋ ˈɪntu ə nu, ˌmænjəˈfækʧərɪŋ ənd ˈhɛdˌkɔrtərz ɪn ˈvərnən, ˌkæləˈfɔrnjə. wi tʊrd ə fɑrm ɪn nu jɔrk ˈsɪti ɪn ˈərli dɪˈsɛmbər. teɪk ə lʊk ˌɪnˈsaɪd bɪˈloʊ.
yarra valley water had a problem: the water and sanitation company in melbourne, australia, easily see what was going on with its operations. it was hard to determine if any of its $2bn us in assets including almost miles of water and sewer pipes, nine treatment plants, two water recycling facilities, and dozens of pump stations had leaks, needed maintenance or were strained to their limits. and this confusion prevented the company from efficiently serving its customer base of million people and businesses. the management systems lay at the heart of the problem. to oversee its confusing mass of infrastructure, valley relied on a collection of different, aging computer systems that made it difficult to gain a comprehensive view of its operations. a common issue around the globe: many water utilities lack insight into their aging, leaking, inefficient infrastructure, and are employing unimaginative or privatizing their operations. working with ibm, deloitte, and other companies, valley water this year developed and piloted an integrated analytics platform that enables it to keep track of all its operations. in addition to streamlining maintenance and development projects, the new system enables valley to track historical consumption levels, more effectively manage the flow of water, and ensure that its customers get the services they need. the project, which is expected to reduce management costs by 15%, has won an infrastructure award and claims that it will also cut waste and improve worker safety. it’s one of many examples of sustainable innovation happening in cities. according to mit researcher wei pan, there is a connection between population density and innovation that she calls “social-tie density”: the denser a city is, the more interactions people will have, and the more innovative the city will be (and the more patents it will produce). cities have the unique ability to foster the rapid development and dispersion of the kinds of new ideas, technologies, behaviors and business models that will be fundamental to long term sustainable development. at the same time, they provide gateways to finance, markets and other stimuli to economic growth. but urban density is just one of several trends that are driving new, more sustainable business models. here are four more: the next level of the sharing economy seoul, one of the most densely populated cities, is having an innovative moment of its own. in september 2012, south innovation bureau launched a new project called sharing city. this project, one of the first of its kind, invests in infrastructure that will make it easier for 10 million citizens to share resources, incubate and promote sharing economy business models, and better utilize public resources. it hard to see why seoul has taken this step: like many cities, it is struggling with overpopulation, pollution, resource constraints, insufficient transportation and housing shortages. in pursuing infrastructure, it is working to harness the dynamic undercurrent of the rising sharing economy to address some of the resource constraints that are affecting its growth and development. learning and working from afar digital technology and have provided education, financial access and job opportunities to millions of new users who were formerly excluded from the economy. one company, andela, last year began offering remote training in basic coding to nigerian students. its students gain skills that are enable them to enter the global economy. at the same time, the influx of software developers is helping address shortages at large it companies like microsoft and segovia. circular economy expands to food although the circular economy concept has been around for more than 30 years, it continues to gain ever wider acceptance and adoption with creative business models emerging worldwide. in chicago, the plant, a food incubator, uses waste from one food business to power others. the facility is home to several vegetable and fish farms, with the fish waste used as a fertilizer for greens like arugula, kale and chard. on the other side of the world, waste ventures india is using circular economy principles to try to current trash incentive system. rather than reward private trash collectors based on the volume of waste that they send to landfill as the existing system does waste ventures reduces waste to landfill by separating the collected trash. it sells the organic refuse to farmers as a soil nutrient and the dry waste to processors. investors receive carbon credits. can india lead on green buildings, clean energy and corporate sustainability? read more more business leaders gain elevated consciousness in the last two decades, a small cadre of conscious capitalists has begun to integrate sustainability as a guiding principle in the way their businesses are developed and run. from early pioneers like the late ray anderson of interface to more recent sustainability leaders like paul of unilever and outspoken thinkers like whole foods’ john mackey or starbucks’ howard shultz, these are not afraid to use their leadership mantle to promote the idea that companies can think beyond shareholder gain to influence larger conversations about value, purpose, class, race and education. new business models are often enabled by, or arise organically from, changes in the global landscape. these trends are likely to bring about new business models, offering opportunities for companies that are willing to align themselves to a sustainable future.	yarra* ˈvæli ˈwɔtər hæd ə

bad heartburn or disease (gerd) as called in medical parlance is a wretched disorder that causes misery to millions of people. this problem is so widespread that the drug companies that make medications to lessen the symptoms (the little purple pill that is advertised continuously, for instance) are pocketing hundreds of millions of dollars. those of us in the business of treating patients with diets have known for years that these diets successfully treat gerd virtually 100 percent of the time. until now, we known why. thanks to norm robillard, ph.d. we now have a mechanism for how gerd happens and why the diet works so successfully to treat it. before we get to dr. robillard, however, take a look at what heartburn really is. the lining of the stomach contains a number of specialized cells. one type of these cells produces the acid that mixes with the food entering the stomach to start breaking it down as the first phase of the digestive process. this mixture will easily damage any tissue it might come into contact with except for the stomach itself. why is the stomach spared? because the stomach lining contains other specialized cells that produce a substance that coats the stomach and prevents the acid from actually coming into contact with the tissue itself. the esophagus, the long tube that leads from the back of the throat to the stomach and carries the swallowed food to the stomach, does not contain specialized cells that prevent acid from damaging the tissue, but it have to because under normal circumstances stomach acid never gets into the esophagus. at the bottom end of the esophagus there is a muscular ring that opens when swallowed food hits it, allowing the food to enter the stomach. this muscular ring, called the lower sphincter, snaps shut after the food passes through, preventing the acidic stomach contents from entering (oring into) the esophagus. when stomach acid does into the esophagus it burns the unprotected lining, causing a dull discomfort in the central chest area called heartburn. the pain can range from mild discomfort to severe and unremitting. sometimes the acides far enough up into the esophagus that it actually gets into the throat and then into the back of the mouth causing a severe burning pain, the kind of pain one would expect were strong acid dumped into mouth, which is exactly what happens. the constant bathing of the tissues with strong acid really do them a lot of good. in fact, years of such bathing causes a condition known as esophagus, a precancerous condition in which the cells of the lining change into cells that are more like the cells of the stomach. a percentage of people with esophagus will develop cancer of the esophagus, which is a deadly cancer. the incidence of cancer is on the rise and has increased about 500 percent in the us over the past couple of decades. the best strategy to avoid this invariably fatal cancer is to prevent gerd and the resultant changes to the lining. medications that prevent gerd do so by decreasing the production of stomach acid. if the stomach contains less acid, then the stomach contents that into the esophagus cause pain and cause damage. but, stomach acid is there for a reason, and probably not a good thing to get rid of it. not only does stomach acid start the digestive process, it also acts as the first line of defense against infective agents. there have been a couple of studies published showing that people who take medications for gerd have increased rates of pneumonia. although more and more people have come to recognize that diets effectively eliminate gerd, no one has really come up with a viable mechanism as to why. a biochemist friend of mine told me that he knew a microbiologist who had a theory as to why diets stopped gerd cold that involved bacterial overgrowth. i told my friend that i think that bacteria had anything to do with it, but he persisted and gave the my email address. the microbiologist contacted me and we agreed to meet for coffee. norm robillard is the microbiologist and he himself has been a gerd sufferer for years. as we drank coffee he outlined for me his theory of why gerd happens and why a diet fixes it. his theory makes perfect sense, and now that i understand it, i buy into it 100 percent. dr. robillard has written a book entitled heartburn cured that explains in detail what happens to people who are genetically predisposed to gerd when they eat too many carbohydrates and explains why restricting makes it go away. the book is an excellent primer on physiology written in simple terms and it should be in the library of every seriouser. anyone with gerd should get a copy immediately. it can be ordered through dr. website. i have no financial affiliation with dr. robillard; i get no kickback. recommending his book because i believe it will become a classic. thanks to dr. research and his book in several years everyone will know why gerd happens and what to do about it. i recommend heartburn cured highly enough.	bæd ˈhɑrtˌbərn ər dɪˈziz (gərd) ɛz kɔld ɪn ˈmɛdɪkəl ˈpɑrləns ɪz ə ˈrɛʧɪd dɪˈsɔrdər ðət ˈkɔzɪz ˈmɪzəri tɪ ˈmɪljənz əv ˈpipəl. ðɪs ˈprɑbləm ɪz soʊ ˈwaɪdˈsprɛd ðət ðə drəg ˈkəmpəˌniz ðət meɪk ˌmɛdəˈkeɪʃənz tɪ ˈlɛsən ðə ˈsɪmptəmz (ðə ˈlɪtəl ˈpərpəl pɪl ðət ɪz ˌædvərˈtaɪzd kənˈtɪnjuəsli, fər ˈɪnstəns) ər ˈpɑkətɪŋ ˈhənərdz əv ˈmɪljənz əv ˈdɔlərz. ðoʊz əv ˈjuˈɛs ɪn ðə ˈbɪznɪs əv ˈtritɪŋ ˈpeɪʃənz wɪθ daɪɪts hæv noʊn fər jɪrz ðət ðiz daɪɪts səkˈsɛsfəli trit gərd ˈvərʧuəli 100 pərˈsɛnt əv ðə taɪm. ənˈtɪl naʊ, wi noʊn waɪ. θæŋks tɪ nɔrm ˈrɑbɪlərd, ph.d. wi naʊ hæv ə ˈmɛkəˌnɪzəm fər haʊ gərd ˈhæpənz ənd waɪ ðə daɪət wərks soʊ səkˈsɛsfəli tɪ trit ɪt. ˌbiˈfɔr wi gɪt tɪ ˈdɑktər. ˈrɑbɪlərd, ˌhaʊˈɛvər, teɪk ə lʊk æt wət ˈhɑrtˌbərn ˈrɪli ɪz. ðə ˈlaɪnɪŋ əv ðə ˈstəmək kənˈteɪnz ə ˈnəmbər əv ˈspɛʃəˌlaɪzd sɛlz. wən taɪp əv ðiz sɛlz prəˈdusɪz ðə ˈæsəd ðət ˈmɪksɪz wɪθ ðə fud ˈɛnərɪŋ ðə ˈstəmək tɪ stɑrt ˈbreɪkɪŋ ɪt daʊn ɛz ðə fərst feɪz əv ðə daɪˈʤɛstɪv ˈprɔˌsɛs. ðɪs ˈmɪksʧər wɪl ˈizəli ˈdæmɪʤ ˈɛni ˈtɪʃu ɪt maɪt kəm ˈɪntu ˈkɑnˌtækt wɪθ ɪkˈsɛpt fər ðə ˈstəmək ˌɪtˈsɛlf. waɪ ɪz ðə ˈstəmək spɛrd? bɪˈkəz ðə ˈstəmək ˈlaɪnɪŋ kənˈteɪnz ˈəðər ˈspɛʃəˌlaɪzd sɛlz ðət ˈproʊdus ə ˈsəbstəns ðət koʊts ðə ˈstəmək ənd prɪˈvɛnts ðə ˈæsəd frəm ˈæˌkʧuəli ˈkəmɪŋ ˈɪntu ˈkɑnˌtækt wɪθ ðə ˈtɪʃu ˌɪtˈsɛlf. ðə ɪˈsɑfəgəs, ðə lɔŋ tub ðət lidz frəm ðə bæk əv ðə θroʊt tɪ ðə ˈstəmək ənd ˈkɛriz ðə sˈwɑloʊd fud tɪ ðə ˈstəmək, dɪz nɑt kənˈteɪn ˈspɛʃəˌlaɪzd sɛlz ðət prɪˈvɛnt ˈæsəd frəm ˈdæmɪʤɪŋ ðə ˈtɪʃu, bət ɪt hæv tɪ bɪˈkəz ˈəndər ˈnɔrməl ˈsərkəmˌstænsɪz ˈstəmək ˈæsəd ˈnɛvər gɪts ˈɪntu ðə ɪˈsɑfəgəs. æt ðə ˈbɑtəm ɛnd əv ðə ɪˈsɑfəgəs ðɛr ɪz ə ˈməskjələr rɪŋ ðət ˈoʊpənz wɪn sˈwɑloʊd fud hɪts ɪt, əˈlaʊɪŋ ðə fud tɪ ˈɛnər ðə ˈstəmək. ðɪs ˈməskjələr rɪŋ, kɔld ðə loʊər sphincter, snæps ʃət ˈæftər ðə fud ˈpæsɪz θru, prɪˈvɛnɪŋ ðə əˈsɪdɪk ˈstəmək ˈkɑntɛnts frəm ˈɛnərɪŋ (ər ˈɪntu) ðə ɪˈsɑfəgəs. wɪn ˈstəmək ˈæsəd dɪz ˈɪntu ðə ɪˈsɑfəgəs ɪt bərnz ðə ˌənprəˈtɛktɪd ˈlaɪnɪŋ, ˈkɔzɪŋ ə dəl dɪˈskəmfərt ɪn ðə ˈsɛntrəl ʧɛst ˈɛriə kɔld ˈhɑrtˌbərn. ðə peɪn kən reɪnʤ frəm maɪld dɪˈskəmfərt tɪ səˈvɪr ənd ˌənrɪˈmɪtɪŋ. ˈsəmˌtaɪmz ðə ˈæsəd fɑr ɪˈnəf əp ˈɪntu ðə ɪˈsɑfəgəs ðət ɪt ˈæˌkʧuəli gɪts ˈɪntu ðə θroʊt ənd ðɛn ˈɪntu ðə bæk əv ðə maʊθ ˈkɔzɪŋ ə səˈvɪr ˈbərnɪŋ peɪn, ðə kaɪnd əv peɪn wən wʊd ɪkˈspɛkt wər strɔŋ ˈæsəd dəmpt ˈɪntu maʊθ, wɪʧ ɪz ɪgˈzæktli wət ˈhæpənz. ðə ˈkɑnstənt ˈbeɪðɪŋ əv ðə ˈtɪʃuz wɪθ strɔŋ ˈæsəd ˈrɪli du ðɛm ə lɔt əv gʊd. ɪn fækt, jɪrz əv səʧ ˈbeɪðɪŋ ˈkɔzɪz ə kənˈdɪʃən noʊn ɛz ɪˈsɑfəgəs, ə priˈkænsərəs kənˈdɪʃən ɪn wɪʧ ðə sɛlz əv ðə ˈlaɪnɪŋ ʧeɪnʤ ˈɪntu sɛlz ðət ər mɔr laɪk ðə sɛlz əv ðə ˈstəmək. ə pərˈsɛnɪʤ əv ˈpipəl wɪθ ɪˈsɑfəgəs wɪl dɪˈvɛləp ˈkænsər əv ðə ɪˈsɑfəgəs, wɪʧ ɪz ə ˈdɛdli ˈkænsər. ðə ˈɪnsɪdəns əv ˈkænsər ɪz ɔn ðə raɪz ənd həz ˌɪnˈkrist əˈbaʊt 500 pərˈsɛnt ɪn ðə ˈjuˈɛs ˈoʊvər ðə pæst ˈkəpəl əv ˈdɛkeɪdz. ðə bɛst ˈstrætəʤi tɪ əˈvɔɪd ðɪs ˌɪnˈvɛriəbli ˈfeɪtəl ˈkænsər ɪz tɪ prɪˈvɛnt gərd ənd ðə riˈzəltənt ˈʧeɪnʤɪz tɪ ðə ˈlaɪnɪŋ. ˌmɛdəˈkeɪʃənz ðət prɪˈvɛnt gərd du soʊ baɪ ˈdiˌkrisɪŋ ðə pərˈdəkʃən əv ˈstəmək ˈæsəd. ɪf ðə ˈstəmək kənˈteɪnz lɛs ˈæsəd, ðɛn ðə ˈstəmək ˈkɑntɛnts ðət ˈɪntu ðə ɪˈsɑfəgəs kɔz peɪn ənd kɔz ˈdæmɪʤ. bət, ˈstəmək ˈæsəd ɪz ðɛr fər ə ˈrizən, ənd ˈprɑbəˌbli nɑt ə gʊd θɪŋ tɪ gɪt rɪd əv ɪt. nɑt ˈoʊnli dɪz ˈstəmək ˈæsəd stɑrt ðə daɪˈʤɛstɪv ˈprɔˌsɛs, ɪt ˈɔlsoʊ ækts ɛz ðə fərst laɪn əv dɪˈfɛns əˈgɛnst ˌɪnˈfɛktɪv ˈeɪʤənts. ðɛr hæv bɪn ə ˈkəpəl əv ˈstədiz ˈpəblɪʃt ʃoʊɪŋ ðət ˈpipəl hu teɪk ˌmɛdəˈkeɪʃənz fər gərd hæv ˌɪnˈkrist reɪts əv nəˈmoʊnjə. ˌɔlˈðoʊ mɔr ənd mɔr ˈpipəl hæv kəm tɪ ˈrɛkəgˌnaɪz ðət daɪɪts ˈifɛktɪvli ɪˈlɪməˌneɪt gərd, noʊ wən həz ˈrɪli kəm əp wɪθ ə ˈvaɪəbəl ˈmɛkəˌnɪzəm ɛz tɪ waɪ. ə ˌbaɪoʊˈkɛmɪst frɛnd əv maɪn toʊld mi ðət hi nu ə ˌmaɪkroʊbiˈɑləʤɪst hu hæd ə ˈθɪri ɛz tɪ waɪ daɪɪts stɑpt gərd koʊld ðət ˌɪnˈvɑlvd bækˈtɪriəl ˈoʊvərgroʊθ. aɪ toʊld maɪ frɛnd ðət aɪ θɪŋk ðət bækˈtɪriə hæd ˈɛniˌθɪŋ tɪ du wɪθ ɪt, bət hi pərˈsɪstɪd ənd geɪv ðə maɪ iˈmeɪl ˈæˌdrɛs. ðə ˌmaɪkroʊbiˈɑləʤɪst ˈkɑnˌtæktɪd mi ənd wi əˈgrid tɪ mit fər ˈkɔfi. nɔrm ˈrɑbɪlərd ɪz ðə ˌmaɪkroʊbiˈɑləʤɪst ənd hi hɪmˈsɛlf həz bɪn ə gərd ˈsəfərər fər jɪrz. ɛz wi dræŋk ˈkɔfi hi ˈaʊˌtlaɪnd fər mi hɪz ˈθɪri əv waɪ gərd ˈhæpənz ənd waɪ ə daɪət ˈfɪksɪz ɪt. hɪz ˈθɪri meɪks ˈpərˌfɪkt sɛns, ənd naʊ ðət aɪ ˌəndərˈstænd ɪt, aɪ baɪ ˈɪntu ɪt 100 pərˈsɛnt. ˈdɑktər. ˈrɑbɪlərd həz ˈrɪtən ə bʊk ɛnˈtaɪtəld ˈhɑrtˌbərn kjʊrd ðət ɪkˈspleɪnz ɪn ˈditeɪl wət ˈhæpənz tɪ ˈpipəl hu ər ʤəˈnɛtɪkli ˌpridɪˈspoʊzd tɪ gərd wɪn ðeɪ it tu ˈmɛni ˌkɑrboʊˈhaɪdreɪts ənd ɪkˈspleɪnz waɪ riˈstrɪktɪŋ meɪks ɪt goʊ əˈweɪ. ðə bʊk ɪz ən ˈɛksələnt ˈpraɪmər ɔn ˌfɪziˈɑləʤi ˈrɪtən ɪn ˈsɪmpəl tərmz ənd ɪt ʃʊd bi ɪn ðə ˈlaɪbrɛˌri əv ˈɛvəri ˈsɪriəs low-carber*. ˈɛniˌwən wɪθ gərd ʃʊd gɪt ə ˈkɑpi ˌɪˈmiˌdiətli. ɪt kən bi ˈɔrdərd θru ˈdɑktər. ˈwɛbˌsaɪt. aɪ hæv noʊ ˌfaɪˈnænʃəl əˌfɪliˈeɪʃən wɪθ ˈdɑktər. ˈrɑbɪlərd;

ideas cunha is a contributor to time donald trump is a breath of fresh air in a republican primary filled with tired political rhetoric. the real-estate mogul uses direct, language, fast, brazen solutions to the problems, and channels the mentality that appeals to many americans. trump recently said muslims “went wild” in celebration after, mocked a disabled reporter, and seemed to suggest that those who disrupt his rallies deserve to be “roughed up.” republican leadership has, up until this point, his plans, laughed at his antics and scoffed at his campaign. all but ignored him for anything other than the joke he should be. but not a joke. and he may just be exactly what the republican party needs. some republican leaders are beginning to realize that to blame for success, and the ones who have to fix the mess made. for that, donald trump is a hero. the brief newsletter sign up to receive the top stories you need to know right now. view sample sign up now last week, republican presidential hopeful, john kasich, finally called spade a spade. he came out to put an end to any political alignment between the two, and he compared the don to the fuhrer. the break with trump is due. republicans, come collect your cousin. republicans have been priming their voter base for a campaign for years, without necessarily realizing where they were headed. as the tea party started vying for power, more moderate republicans shifted their views ever so slightly from conservative values of fiscal responsibility and small government to fear mongering and isolationist appeals. afraid of losing their base, many republicans never came down hard on those spewing hatred and fear. instead, they shook hands and looked the other way. and in doing so, they accidentally endorsed that extremism. the rest of the party voters have in turn shifted their values. after all, if the leaders feel dumping millions of people across the border and building a wall is a legitimate solution to an ongoing systemic problem, a lot easier for the common voter to make that jump as well. whether or not anyone other than trump actually sold that line is irrelevant. the republican party now finds itself between a rock and a hard place. but by forcing members within the party to really examine the hidden baseline of their rhetoric, trump offers hope. the flood of racist, elitist comments is forcing republicans to see where the party is headed. by making them confront the possible future as a present reality, trump may encourage former republicans to their stances and head back toward moderate ideas. in this backward way, he may be save the party (and perhaps the nation) from itself. perhaps finally gone far enough. he recently dropped 12 points in the polls. then again, a new poll finds him back on top. contact us at editors@time.com.	aɪˈdiəz ˈkuŋə ɪz ə kənˈtrɪbjətər tɪ taɪm ˈdɑnəld trəmp ɪz ə brɛθ əv frɛʃ ɛr ɪn ə rɪˈpəblɪkən ˈpraɪˌmɛri fɪld wɪθ taɪərd

royal australian and new zealand college of psychiatrists says detention of children should only be used as a ‘last resort’ and for ‘the shortest possible’ time children in immigration detention 'should be held no more than three days' children in immigration detention should be held for no longer than three days, the royal australian and new zealand college of psychiatrists has said in a new position statement. in the wake of the australian human rights commission report into children in detention, the peak professional body for psychiatrists said it “opposes the routine, prolonged and indefinite detention of child asylum seekers under the policy of mandatory detention”. “detention is detrimental to development and mental health and has the potential to cause long-term damage to social and emotional functioning,” the position statement said. “unaccompanied minors and families with children are particularly vulnerable. detention should only ever be used as a last resort, with the best interests in mind, for the shortest possible length of time.” children in detention exposed to danger, human rights commission finds read more children should be held only for health and safety checks for a maximum of 72 hours. australia’s mandatory detention of children is in breach of the united nations convention on the rights of the child, the college said. australia is legally bound by the convention, having ratified it in 1990. ranzcp president dr murray patton said psychiatrists were extremely concerned about the situation of children detained in australia and overseas. “the statistics in the recent ‘forgotten children’ report are extremely alarming,” patton said. “the level of mental health disorders recorded indicates there will potentially be an ongoing need to support and treat these children even once they leave detention whether in australia or elsewhere. traumatic events, such as being detained for a prolonged period, can lead to mental illness in adults.” “the preferable length of time in detention for a child who is undergoing health and safety checks is less than 72 hours. this is quite a contrast to the 14 months reported recently.” releasing the human rights commission report this month, the commission president gillian triggs said when the report was first handed to government, last october, the average length of detention of a child in immigration detention regime was 14 months. “today, their detention has lengthened to 17 months.” the triggs report has been hugely controversial, with the government accusing triggs of a partisan “transparent stitch-up”. and senate estimates unearthed details of a quiet job offer from the government in an attempt to move triggs on from her statutory five-year role because ministers had “lost confidence” in her impartiality. currently, there are 126 children in detention in australia, and 116 held on. sixty eight of the children detained in australia will be moved back to once their medical care or the medical care of a relative ends. nineteen children in australia are being held in indefinite detention with no prospect of release because of an adverse security assessment from against a relative, or because of a ministerial decree. the number of children in detention peaked in september 2013 under labor, at. the immigration policies of both the coalition and labor mandate the detention of child asylum seekers who arrive by boat. peter young, the former director of mental health for international health and medical services (ihms), the private contractor that provides medical care to detention centres, said “it is clear that detention is inherently damaging for children”. “there is no way around it, because it is designed to be restrictive, it is designed to oppress and create uncertainty.” children in immigration detention are held in harsh, often dangerous, conditions young said. they are also face exposure to trauma in detention: assaults committed against them or family members, high rates of mental illness in those around them, and acts of by other detainees. but beyond the conditions of detention itself, “the arbitrariness, the uncertainty, of detention, these are the factors that are especially damaging.” young said the indefinite detention of children was particularly troubling. “when detention is open-ended and indefinite like that, it is really saying ‘there is no hope for a better life’. when that is being said to a child growing up in these difficult conditions, it is hard to think of anything more damaging.” young said he welcomed the position statement, and its support for mental health professionals who have spoken out about detention conditions. “psychiatrists’ duty of care is to their patients. they have a role in advocating for their patients, and for a better system.” on, a large-scale protest is planned for this weekend. children and adults have already begun a protest of non-cooperation. they have boycotted school and adult english classes and are refusing to speak with case managers. others have quit jobs or gone on strike. one resettled refugee wrote that he, and others, were protesting because they could not face the prospect of resettlement on. “last night there was a hot rumour that an agreement for long settlement has been signed yesterday between immigration andan government with [a] champagne party. once again refugee cattle has been sold by the fuckingan government just for money. and that all money is tax pay money of australian public.” “now the entire situation compelled us to protest. because ‘enough is enough’ at last, we have no option instead of protest for our right.” the immigration minister peter dutton was in last week. he was negotiating a five-year plan for asylum seeker processing and refugee resettlement, according to thean government. there were no reports of champagne, but the dinner with thean president baron was interrupted by a noisy but peaceful protest by refugees chanting: “freedom, justice, shut down offshore [detention]”. the detention centre is moving to an “open centre” model where asylum seekers will be free to move outside the wire fence of the camp. but they have been given a list of 12 locations in where they cannot go, including the parliament, courthouse, hospital, all schools, any or ports, or the airport. they face fines or jail for breaching those conditions. “an open centre will give more opportunities to engage with thean community before their refugee processing has been completed,” dutton said, “allowing genuine refugees to ultimately integrate seamlessly into the community.”	rɔɪəl ɔˈstreɪljən ənd nu ˈzilənd ˈkɑlɪʤ əv səˈkaɪətrəsts sɪz dɪˈtɛnʃən əv ˈʧɪldrən ʃʊd ˈoʊnli bi juzd ɛz ə resort’’ ənd fər ˈʃɔrtɪst

the rest of the media are finally catching up to what has been reporting for years. the new york times, associated press and others are in a sudden flurry over a report that implicates banking giant in laundering billions of dollars for celebrities, criminals and drug lords and suggests obama attorney general nominee loretta lynch may have struck a sweetheart deal with the banking giant that rolling stone now calls “preposterous even by eric standards.” documents leaked by a whistleblower to the international consortium of investigative journalists recently revealed bank employees had for years actively helped customers including drug traffickers, arms dealers and wealthy power players around the world conceal enormous amounts of money from the taxman. though the allegations were first exposed by in 2012 and prompted a federal investigation, lynch, then the u.s. attorney for the eastern district of new york, negotiated a settlement that allowed to pay a $1.9 billion fine rather than face criminal charges. wnd senior staff writer jerome corsi explains how first exposed’s massive money laundering scheme, the fallout from the explosive discovery and the role loretta lynch played in the emerging obama administration scandal: the new report, however, alleges crimes so massive even ohio u.s. sen. sherrod brown, the leading democrat on senate banking committee, is demanding to know how lynch could have let off the hook so lightly. “i will be very interested to hear the full explanation of its actions or lack thereof,” said brown. “i intend on pressing regulators, the irs and the for answers.” “it looks now like the u.s. government knowingly bent over backward to make sure that a major western tax evader kept its license to operate here in america,” rolling stone commented. “even worse, our next attorney general was the person responsible for negotiating the deal.” but back in 2012, was the first to report on the illegal activities with leaked documents and a whistleblower of its own, which in turn prompted the investigation in the first place. in a report by senior staff writer jerome corsi dated feb. 1, 2012, it was first revealed that john cruz, a former employee of in new york, delivered to some pages of customer account records he claimed were evidence of an international scheme involving hundreds of billions of dollars by the global banking giant. cruz, the former vice president and senior business relationships manager for on long island, had pulled the documents from the computer system before he was fired, allegedly for “poor performance,” though cruz contends he was let go because senior management want to him to pursue his personal investigation into the wrongdoing. wnd followed the exposé with a series of further investigative articles, including redacted documents revealing what tipped off cruz to the money laundering and even evidence implicating financial giants and american express in the scandal. it was at that moment began to retaliate against for its reporting. the bank filed a complaint feb. 9, 2012, with a internet service provider, networks. access to the article was blocked for a period of three hours, until the internet provider concluded the complaint was unwarranted. at the time, editor and ceo joseph farah remarked, “i’ve been in journalism for 30 years and in internet journalism for 15 years. in all that time, i have never seen such a blatant and temporarily effective effort at raw censorship by a powerful institution in this case, one of the largest banks.” but that was just the first blow. the very day after reported’s efforts to shut the story down, the investigative journalist who blew open the story, jerome corsi, was effectively fired from his position as a senior managing director at gilford securities, a manhattan investment firm that serves institutional and retail clients. nonetheless, corsi and continued the investigation, culminating in the may 2012 story, “banking giant ‘a criminal enterprise.'” “when john cruz delivered to account records demonstrating senior management was involved in a scam, i called various customers listed in the account records,” corsi recalled. “customers were shocked to learn was using their identity information, including accurate social security numbers, to create bogus accounts through which millions in clearly laundered money was run, before the account was closed all without any knowledge or approval of the customers involved. “several customers, alarmed that i had their social security numbers, had their attorneys call me,” corsi continued. “to prove was legitimately investigating the story, shared the customer records we had with the attorneys. the reaction of both customers and attorneys was shock. no customer had given permission.” finally, on may 13, 2012, reported how government regulators and authorities sat on the evidence they had against until blew the whistle on it. eventually, could hide no longer, and the department of justice began an investigation. in december 2012, the bank agreed to settlement terms and paid what eventually totaled $1.256 billion in fines to the u.s. government to end the investigation and avoid the filing of criminal charges. hsbc group chief executive stuart gulliver said at the time his company was “profoundly sorry” and, “we accept responsibility for our past mistakes.” for the moment, the scandal seemed resolved. “i think there are more than a few dozen people in the world who realize what jerry corsi did with the story,” farah said in an interview. “he brought one of the largest banking institutions in the world to its knees with his reporting. if the new york times did this, there would have been pulitzer prizes handed out. the reporter would have been the toast of the town, celebrated by his colleagues. other journalists around the country and the world would have written about this amazing effort by a muckraking, courageous reporter who broke the scandal about massive money laundering that made the heads spin. “what did jerry and his news agency get?” farah asked. “they got a major denial of service attack that shut down the website for hours. only a threat of an immediate lawsuit got service back. and when was ultimately hit with the largest banking fine in history $1.2 billion not a single news source credited or mentioned’s series of stories. “keep in mind, the whistleblower who came to was out of options,” farah explained. “he’d gone to news agencies all over the country as well as state and federal law enforcement authorities. only looked at the data he had collected. only jerry corsi stood up to this powerful institution and took them on. and only when that data was published did federal regulators even give the whistleblower the time of day. this is what journalism is supposed to be about being a watchdog on government and other powerful institutions.” it now appears, however, that the watchdog may be needed again. the scandal returns in a telephone interview with, cruz said the obama administration “is continuing to cover up its role in the money laundering scandal.” “the u.s. government never responded to the evidence i provided of activity that i fully documented with records copied directly from accounts,” cruz explained to after learning court papers were filed objecting to the justice department stonewalling a foia request for the release of documents that could implicate lynch in covering up obama administration involvement in international of mexican cartel drug money. lynch has never explained why the new york u.s. office in 2012 chose to ignore the pages of customer account records cruz pulled from the computer system. “the official response of the irs whistleblower office say there was no fraud or tax evasion committed by in the case,” cruz explained. “the irs simply says, ‘in this case, the information you provided did not result in the collection of any proceeds.'” “i’ve never heard back from the two department of homeland securities investigators that did the telephone interviews with me on feb. 7, 2012, even though both said they would ‘get back to me,'” cruz said. “the new york district attorney that i originally approached has never followed up with me, even after admitting, ‘this is money laundering.'” cruz provided with documentation showing he had contacted assistant district attorney jeremy and investigator patrick mulcahey of the suffolk county district office in 2012. when cruz attempted to hand his information over to sen. carl levin, d-mich., then the chairman of the senate permanent investigating committee looking into activities, he was told to fill out a form, which he did, only to receive no response whatsoever. “wnd is the first and only news agency to put my story on the air, to put my story on the web, to get my story out to people,” cruz explained, after providing with the letters he had sent to the wall street journal in 2012. a close reading of the report permanent subcommittee on investigations issued on july 17, 2012, titled, “u.s. vulnerabilities to money laundering, drugs, and terrorist financing: case history,” places the blame not on employees in new york, but upon carelessness in acquiring suspect subsidiary banks in mexico tied to mexican drug cartels. on page 3 of that report, the senate permanent subcommittee on investigations attributed the criminal activities to a “weak laundering] program,” carefully avoiding any allegations that specific employees in the u.s. or mexico were criminally liable for their involvement. by the end of 2012, escaped with a fine, but no criminal charges against any of its employees. “the fraud investigator at the bank told me the bank had $2 billion set aside to pay the fines,” cruz recalls, “and conveniently got away with paying something like $1.9 billion in total fines and penalties.” the recent report on’s activities, however, is putting new pressure on lynch to explain how the bank could have escaped investigation without criminal charges. wnd’s history of coverage on the scandal, including an exclusive interview with whistleblower john cruz, can be seen below:	ðə rɛst əv ðə ˈmidiə ər ˈfaɪnəli ˈkæʧɪŋ əp tɪ wət həz bɪn rɪˈpɔrtɪŋ fər jɪrz. ðə nu jɔrk taɪmz, əˈsoʊʃiˌeɪtəd prɛs ənd ˈəðərz ər ɪn

"i think this is something that was honestly blown hugely out of proportion," eric trump told "cbs this morning" after he was asked whether he believed his father to be in the wrong for his comments and repeated attacks on and khan, the muslim parents of slain army capt. khan, who died in 2004 while protecting his fellow soldiers in iraq. story continued below eric trump continued to defend his father on tuesday, lamenting that "first of all he said the khan family looked like amazing people in that interview which for whatever reason never wants to get reported." "he called him a hero on so many different times," the trump organization executive vice president said, remarking that unlike khan's suggestion that trump is targeting muslims for their faith, "this isn't a muslim thing." trump explained, "this is an isis thing. and this is also an anti-immigration, refugee thing coming into the country. he doesn't want to see more americans dead. my a great patriot. he sees what's happening around the country and quite frankly, he's shaking his head." asked earlier whether it is difficult for his father to apologize, eric trump called the manhattan business mogul a "fighter." "and i think this country needs is a fighter. and he was attacked the other day. and he was attacked viciously," he continued. "and by the way, that's politics. you're going to get attacked." as far as whether the elder trump would apologize to the khans, eric trump suggested that he already has by calling their son a "hero," while defending his father's statement to abc's george stephanopoulos that he has also sacrificed for the country. "listen, i think that's a great question for him. and i think he has by calling him a hero. you know, in terms of the one question, whether he's made a sacrifice, i think my father has," eric trump said. "now, that's certainly not the ultimate sacrifice, the ultimate sacrifice is a soldier dying for this nation and dying to protect the three of us," he said of the other panelists at the table.	poster="http://v.politico.com/images/1155968404/201608/1691/1155968404_5068262959001_5068235896001-vs.jpg?pubid=1155968404* tru ˈɛrɪk trəmp dɪˈfɛndɪd hɪz ˈfɑðər ɔn ˈtuzˌdeɪ. ˈɛrɪk trəmp: ˈfɑðərz kɑn rɪˈmɑrks 'bloʊn ˈhjuʤli aʊt əv prəˈpɔrʃən' ˈdɑnəld trəmps ˈkɑmɛnts əˈbaʊt ðə goʊld stɑr ˈfæməli əv ə ˈfɑlən juz. ˈsoʊlʤər huz ˈfɑðər spoʊk aʊt əˈgɛnst ɪm æt læst wiks ˌdɛməˈkrætɪk ˈnæʃənəl kənˈvɛnʃən wər "bloʊn ˈhjuʤli aʊt əv prəˈpɔrʃən," ðə rɪˈpəblɪkən ˌnɑməˈniz sən ˈɛrɪk trəmp sɛd ˈtuzˌdeɪ.

i feel like this is more of a to the diary of the displaced books, which were completely brilliant, than it's own, thing. i read this after reading diary of the displaced, and was kind of let down. it's an interesting story, fun to see what happens, and the world the author has created is still fascinating, but nothing as as the three main books. the most interesting part, to me, was seeing where this book intersected the plot lines of the diary of the displaced books, with both characters and particular settings. it did explain a few things i'd been wondering about. i would actually recommend reading this, and the other book in set in this same world, chasing spirits, before reading the diary of the displaced books. then you'd be coming across little scenes and people from this book and saying "hey, i know what that is!" or "oh, that's this guy!" worth reading, but really only to either set you up, or help you come down from, the diary of the displaced books.	aɪ fil laɪk ðɪs ɪz mɔr əv ə tɪ ðə ˈdaɪəri əv ðə dɪˈspleɪst bʊks, wɪʧ wər kəmˈplitli ˈbrɪljənt, ðən ɪts oʊn, θɪŋ. aɪ rɛd ðɪs ˈæftər ˈrɛdɪŋ ˈdaɪəri əv ðə dɪˈspleɪst ənd wɑz kaɪnd əv lɛt daʊn. ɪts ən ˈɪntəˌrɛstɪŋ ˈstɔri, fən tɪ si wət ˈhæpənz, ənd ðə wərld ðə ˈɔθər həz kriˈeɪtɪd ɪz stɪl ˈfæsəˌneɪtɪŋ, bət ˈnəθɪŋ ɛz ɛz ðə θri meɪn bʊks. ðə moʊst ˈɪntəˌrɛstɪŋ pɑrt, tɪ mi, wɑz siɪŋ wɛr ðɪs bʊk ˌɪntərˈsɛktɪd ðə plɑt laɪnz əv ðə ˈdaɪəri əv ðə dɪˈspleɪst bʊks, wɪθ boʊθ ˈkɛrɪktərz ənd ˌpɑˈtɪkjələr ˈsɛtɪŋz. ɪt dɪd ɪkˈspleɪn ə fju θɪŋz aɪd bɪn ˈwəndərɪŋ əˈbaʊt. aɪ wʊd ˈæˌkʧuəli ˌrɛkəˈmɛnd ˈrɛdɪŋ ðɪs, ənd ðə ˈəðər bʊk ɪn sɛt ɪn ðɪs seɪm wərld, ˈʧeɪsɪŋ ˈspɪrɪts, ˌbiˈfɔr ˈrɛdɪŋ ðə ˈdaɪəri əv ðə dɪˈspleɪst bʊks. ðɛn jʊd bi ˈkəmɪŋ əˈkrɔs ˈlɪtəl sinz ənd ˈpipəl frəm ðɪs bʊk ənd seɪɪŋ "heɪ, aɪ noʊ wət ðət ɪz!" ər "oʊ, ðæts ðɪs gaɪ!" wərθ ˈrɛdɪŋ, bət ˈrɪli ˈoʊnli tɪ ˈiðər sɛt ju əp, ər hɛlp ju kəm daʊn frəm, ðə ˈdaɪəri əv ðə dɪˈspleɪst bʊks.
the ranking member on the house budget committee said thursday that the tea party has taken over in the house of representatives, and turned speaker john boehner into little more than a rubber stamp for their social agenda as the government careens toward its first shutdown since 1995. “speaker boehner is not in control,” rep. chris van hollen (d-md) said on a conference call with reporters when asked by about the prospects of a shutdown. “the tea party caucus has their hands on the steering wheel and they are prepared to drive right into a government shut down if they get 100% of their demands hollen said the tea party rejection of democratic offers of billions of dollars in compromise budget cuts comes from a desire to attack entitlements and environmental laws, not reduce the size of government as claimed. “to pretend that they care about deficit reduction here when their real goal is to use this budget battle to impose that social agenda is becoming more obvious everyday,” van hollen said. he says that the man leading the negotiations for the republicans in congress, boehner, has become nothing more than a proxy for his extreme. “none of us of course know how this is going to turn out,” van hollen said, “but the speaker is not in control of this process.” “he’s being pushed rather than leading,” van hollen said. ed. note: this post has been updated from the original.	ðə ˈræŋkɪŋ ˈmɛmbər ɔn ðə haʊs ˈbəʤɪt kəˈmɪti sɛd ˈθərzˌdeɪ ðət ðə ti ˈpɑrti həz ˈteɪkən ˈoʊvər ɪn ðə haʊs əv ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnətɪvz, ənd tərnd ˈspikər ʤɑn ˈboʊnər ˈɪntu ˈlɪtəl mɔr ðən ə ˈrəbər stæmp fər ðɛr ˈsoʊʃəl əˈʤɛndə ɛz ðə ˈgəvərnmənt kərˈinz təˈwɔrd ɪts fərst ˈʃətˌdaʊn sɪns 1995 ˈboʊnər ɪz nɑt ɪn control,”,” rɛpriˈzɛtətɪv. krɪs væn ˈhɑlən (d-md) sɛd ɔn ə ˈkɑnfərəns kɔl wɪθ rɪˈpɔrtərz wɪn æst baɪ əˈbaʊt ðə ˈprɑspɛkts əv ə ˈʃətˌdaʊn. ti ˈpɑrti ˈkɔkəs həz ðɛr hænz ɔn ðə ˈstɪrɪŋ wil ənd ðeɪ ər priˈpɛrd tɪ draɪv raɪt ˈɪntu ə ˈgəvərnmənt ʃət daʊn ɪf ðeɪ gɪt 100 əv ðɛr dɪˈmændz ˈhɑlən sɛd ðə ti ˈpɑrti rɪˈʤɛkʃən əv ˌdɛməˈkrætɪk ˈɔfərz əv ˈbɪljənz əv ˈdɔlərz ɪn ˈkɑmprəˌmaɪz ˈbəʤɪt kəts kəmz frəm ə dɪˈzaɪər tɪ əˈtæk ɛnˈtaɪtəlmənts ənd ɪnˌvaɪrənˈmɛnəl lɔz, nɑt rɪˈdus ðə saɪz əv ˈgəvərnmənt ɛz kleɪmd. priˈtɛnd ðət ðeɪ kɛr əˈbaʊt ˈdɛfəsət rɪˈdəkʃən hir wɪn ðɛr ril goʊl ɪz tɪ juz ðɪs ˈbəʤɪt ˈbætəl tɪ ˌɪmˈpoʊz ðət ˈsoʊʃəl əˈʤɛndə ɪz bɪˈkəmɪŋ mɔr ˈɑbviəs everyday,”,” væn ˈhɑlən sɛd. hi sɪz ðət ðə mæn ˈlidɪŋ ðə nɪˌgoʊʃiˈeɪʃənz fər ðə rɪˈpəblɪkənz ɪn ˈkɑŋgrəs, ˈboʊnər, həz bɪˈkəm ˈnəθɪŋ mɔr ðən ə ˈprɑksi fər hɪz ɪkˈstrim. əv ˈjuˈɛs əv kɔrs noʊ haʊ ðɪs ɪz goʊɪŋ tɪ tərn out,”,” væn ˈhɑlən sɛd, ðə ˈspikər ɪz nɑt ɪn kənˈtroʊl əv ðɪs process.”.” biɪŋ pʊʃt ˈrəðər ðən leading,”,” væn ˈhɑlən sɛd. ɛd. noʊt: ðɪs poʊst həz bɪn ˈəpˌdeɪtɪd frəm ðə ərˈɪʤənəl.
ted cruz just pulled off what has seemed impossible: he made donald trump concede a point. at thursday night's republican debate, cruz took on trump's charge that he's not american enough for the presidency. trump has recently started saying cruz's canadian birth is a constitutional liability. when asked about the attacks thursday night, cruz's second response was to explain why a child of a us citizen is eligible to be president but his first response was to boast that trump was feeling threatened in the polls. cruz is a champion debater, and he had to have known this question was coming. so the sharpness of his answer doesn't come as a surprise. but trump has shown an uncanny ability (even for a presidential candidate) to avoid admitting he was wrong. he's denied the existence of statements that are on his own website just to avoid admitting he contradicted himself. cruz got under his skin. trump sputtered. but he ended up admitting to moderator neil that cruz was right. donald trump is hitting cruz with an electability troll the reason this issue has come up is that ted cruz was born in canada, to a us citizen mother and a father. he's definitely a citizen. but the constitution requires that presidents be not just citizens, but citizens" and it doesn't define what" means. most constitutional lawyers think that if the question were to come up in court, a judge would rule that cruz does count as a citizen. but because the case hasn't come up in court yet, the question is not yet legally settled. that's why harvard law professor laurence tribe whom trump has been citing on the campaign trail, and whom he cited again during the debate has started saying that cruz's citizenship could be a problem. tribe personally believes cruz should be considered a citizen, but he says that if cruz were consistent about his own constitutional philosophy, cruz would believe he was ineligible. more importantly, tribe says, the unsettled question would throw a "cloud" over cruz's candidacy. trump is saying exactly the same thing. in the past, he has said directly that he doesn't think cruz is a citizen. but in this campaign and in the debate he said something slightly different: that it doesn't matter what he thinks, because it would be a bad idea for the party to nominate someone who might have to fight a court case on his way to the white house. let's call this what it is: an electability argument. just like candidates who claim that their opponents are too extreme to win over swing voters in the general election, trump is claiming that cruz's canadian citizenship would become a problem for the party if he wins the nomination. cruz's worked because his conservative is more secure than trump's the problem with the electability argument, in this case, is that it's easy to rebut when the other party is attacking you. why would they be going after me if they weren't worried i'd beat them? and that's what cruz did in the debate. one of the strange things about the trump candidacy has been that his populist policy platform has coexisted with some of the gaudy east coast elitism of his previous life as a new york real estate mogul. most republican candidates wouldn't trot out a harvard law professor to buttress their points and certainly wouldn't cite one with ties to the democratic party. but trump did. as a result, cruz had an opening to remind the audience that trump himself was a democrat for the early years of his career; that hillary clinton attended his wedding; that he used to be a pro-choice, liberal. and indeed, that's a theme he ended up hitting more directly later in the debate, when he accused trump of having "new york values." but cruz didn't have to say any of those things to defend his own citizenship. he only had to point out that trump was willing to side with harvard law professor and former al gore adviser laurence tribe, because trump was so scared cruz would win.	tɛd kruz ʤɪst pʊld ɔf wət həz simd ˌɪmˈpɑsəbəl: hi meɪd ˈdɑnəld trəmp kənˈsid ə pɔɪnt. æt ˈθərzˌdeɪ naɪts rɪˈpəblɪkən dəˈbeɪt, kruz tʊk ɔn trəmps ʧɑrʤ ðət hiz nɑt əˈmɛrɪkən ɪˈnəf fər ðə ˈprɛzɪdənsi. trəmp həz ˈrisəntli ˈstɑrtɪd seɪɪŋ ˈkruzɪz kəˈneɪdiən bərθ ɪz ə ˌkɑnstəˈtuʃənəl ˌlaɪəˈbɪlɪti. wɪn æst əˈbaʊt ðə əˈtæks ˈθərzˌdeɪ naɪt, ˈkruzɪz ˈsɛkənd rɪˈspɑns wɑz tɪ ɪkˈspleɪn waɪ ə ʧaɪld əv ə ˈjuˈɛs ˈsɪtɪzən ɪz ˈɛlɪʤəbəl tɪ bi ˈprɛzɪdənt bət hɪz fərst rɪˈspɑns wɑz tɪ boʊst ðət trəmp wɑz ˈfilɪŋ θˈrɛtənd ɪn ðə poʊlz. kruz ɪz ə ˈʧæmpiən dəˈbeɪtər, ənd hi hæd tɪ hæv noʊn ðɪs kˈwɛʃən wɑz ˈkəmɪŋ. soʊ ðə ˈʃɑrpnəs əv hɪz ˈænsər ˈdəzənt kəm ɛz ə səˈpraɪz. bət trəmp həz ʃoʊn ən ənˈkæni əˈbɪləˌti (ˈivɪn fər ə ˌprɛzɪˈdɛnʃəl ˈkænədɪt) tɪ əˈvɔɪd ədˈmɪtɪŋ hi wɑz rɔŋ. hiz dɪˈnaɪd ðə ɪgˈzɪstəns əv ˈsteɪtmənts ðət ər ɔn hɪz oʊn ˈwɛbˌsaɪt ʤɪst tɪ əˈvɔɪd ədˈmɪtɪŋ hi ˌkɑntrəˈdɪktəd hɪmˈsɛlf. kruz gɑt ˈəndər hɪz skɪn. trəmp ˈspətərd. bət hi ˈɛndɪd əp ədˈmɪtɪŋ tɪ ˈmɑdərˌeɪtər nil ðət kruz wɑz raɪt. ˈdɑnəld trəmp ɪz ˈhɪtɪŋ kruz wɪθ ən ɪˌlɛktəˈbɪləti troʊl ðə ˈrizən ðɪs ˈɪʃu həz kəm əp ɪz ðət tɛd kruz wɑz bɔrn ɪn ˈkænədə, tɪ ə ˈjuˈɛs ˈsɪtɪzən ˈməðər ənd ə ˈfɑðər. hiz ˈdɛfənətli ə ˈsɪtɪzən. bət ðə ˌkɑnstəˈtuʃən rikˈwaɪərz ðət ˈprɛzɪˌdɛnts bi nɑt ʤɪst ˈsɪtɪzənz, bət ˈsɪtɪzənz" ənd ɪt ˈdəzənt dɪˈfaɪn wət" minz. moʊst ˌkɑnstəˈtuʃənəl ˈlɔjərz θɪŋk ðət ɪf ðə kˈwɛʃən wər tɪ kəm əp ɪn kɔrt, ə ʤəʤ wʊd rul ðət kruz dɪz kaʊnt ɛz ə ˈsɪtɪzən. bət bɪˈkəz ðə keɪs ˈhæzənt kəm əp ɪn kɔrt jɛt, ðə kˈwɛʃən ɪz nɑt jɛt ˈligəli ˈsɛtəld. ðæts waɪ ˈhɑrvərd lɔ prəˈfɛsər ˈlɔrəns traɪb hum trəmp həz bɪn ˈsaɪtɪŋ ɔn ðə kæmˈpeɪn treɪl, ənd hum hi ˈsaɪtɪd əˈgɛn ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə dəˈbeɪt həz ˈstɑrtɪd seɪɪŋ ðət ˈkruzɪz ˈsɪtɪzənˌʃɪp kʊd bi ə ˈprɑbləm. traɪb ˈpərsənəli bɪˈlivz kruz ʃʊd bi kənˈsɪdərd ə ˈsɪtɪzən, bət hi sɪz ðət ɪf kruz wər kənˈsɪstənt əˈbaʊt hɪz oʊn ˌkɑnstəˈtuʃənəl fəˈlɑsəfi, kruz wʊd bɪˈliv hi wɑz ˌɪˈnɛlɪʤəbəl. mɔr ˌɪmˈpɔrtəntli, traɪb sɪz, ðə ənˈsɛtəld kˈwɛʃən wʊd θroʊ ə "klaʊd" ˈoʊvər ˈkruzɪz ˈkændɪdəsi. trəmp ɪz seɪɪŋ ɪgˈzæktli ðə seɪm θɪŋ. ɪn ðə pæst, hi həz sɛd dɪˈrɛkli ðət hi ˈdəzənt θɪŋk kruz ɪz ə ˈsɪtɪzən. bət ɪn ðɪs kæmˈpeɪn ənd ɪn ðə dəˈbeɪt hi sɛd ˈsəmθɪŋ sˈlaɪtli ˈdɪfərənt: ðət ɪt ˈdəzənt ˈmætər wət hi θɪŋks, bɪˈkəz ɪt wʊd bi ə bæd aɪˈdiə fər ðə ˈpɑrti tɪ ˈnɑməˌneɪt ˈsəmˌwən hu maɪt hæv tɪ faɪt ə kɔrt keɪs ɔn hɪz weɪ tɪ ðə waɪt haʊs. lɛts kɔl ðɪs wət ɪt ɪz: ən ɪˌlɛktəˈbɪləti ˈɑrgjəmənt. ʤɪst laɪk ˈkænədɪts hu kleɪm ðət ðɛr əˈpoʊnənts ər tu ɪkˈstrim tɪ wɪn ˈoʊvər swɪŋ ˈvoʊtərz ɪn ðə ˈʤɛnərəl ɪˈlɛkʃən, trəmp ɪz ˈkleɪmɪŋ ðət ˈkruzɪz kəˈneɪdiən ˈsɪtɪzənˌʃɪp wʊd bɪˈkəm ə ˈprɑbləm fər ðə ˈpɑrti ɪf hi wɪnz ðə ˌnɑməˈneɪʃən. ˈkruzɪz wərkt bɪˈkəz hɪz kənˈsərvətɪv ɪz mɔr sɪˈkjʊr ðən trəmps ðə ˈprɑbləm wɪθ ðə ɪˌlɛktəˈbɪləti ˈɑrgjəmənt, ɪn ðɪs keɪs, ɪz ðət ɪts ˈizi tɪ rɪˈbət wɪn ðə ˈəðər ˈpɑrti ɪz əˈtækɪŋ ju. waɪ wʊd ðeɪ bi goʊɪŋ ˈæftər mi ɪf ðeɪ wərənt ˈwərid aɪd bit ðɛm?

this article was originally published on august 21, 2016 and updated on september 6 to reflect sentencing. radicalisation to violence is a deeply personal process. about an individual making a set of choices for their own reasons within a broader political context that leads them to turn against a society into which they were born. this makes it very difficult to counter and even harder to remove once it has been embraced. few effective solutions exist, and they are even harder to implement inside a prison. the jailing of extremist preacher and the prosecution of a number of his acolytes from the organisation means the prison system will again be absorbing a new batch of radicals into a population of alienated and sometimes violent young men who are vulnerable to their message. managing them will be a complicated process, so the ministry of justice has announced a new approach: the “most dangerous” extremist prisoners will be isolated from the general population in special units likened to "prisons within prisons". but will it work?	ðɪs ˈɑrtɪkəl wɑz ərˈɪʤənəli ˈpəblɪʃt ɔn ˈɔgəst 21 2016 ənd ˈəpˌdeɪtɪd ɔn sɛpˈtɛmbər 6 tɪ rɪˈflɛkt ˈsɛntənsɪŋ. tɪ ˈvaɪələns ɪz ə ˈdipli ˈpərsɪnəl ˈprɔˌsɛs. əˈbaʊt ən ˌɪndəˈvɪʤəwəl ˈmeɪkɪŋ ə sɛt əv ˈʧɔɪsɪz fər ðɛr oʊn ˈrizənz wɪˈθɪn ə ˈbrɔdər pəˈlɪtɪkəl ˈkɑntɛkst ðət lidz ðɛm tɪ tərn əˈgɛnst ə soʊˈsaɪɪti ˈɪntu wɪʧ ðeɪ wər bɔrn. ðɪs meɪks ɪt ˈvɛri ˈdɪfəkəlt tɪ ˈkaʊntər ənd ˈivɪn ˈhɑrdər tɪ riˈmuv wəns ɪt həz bɪn ɛmˈbreɪst. fju ˈifɛktɪv səˈluʃənz ɪgˈzɪst, ənd ðeɪ ər ˈivɪn ˈhɑrdər tɪ ˈɪmpləmənt ˌɪnˈsaɪd ə ˈprɪzən. ðə ˈʤeɪlɪŋ əv ɪkˈstrimɪst ˈpriʧər ənd ðə ˌprɑsəˈkjuʃən əv ə ˈnəmbər əv hɪz ˈækəˌlaɪts frəm ðə ˌɔrgənɪˈzeɪʃən minz ðə ˈprɪzən ˈsɪstəm wɪl əˈgɛn bi əbˈzɔrbɪŋ ə nu bæʧ əv ˈrædɪkəlz ˈɪntu ə ˌpɑpjəˈleɪʃən əv ˈeɪliəˌneɪtɪd ənd ˈsəmˌtaɪmz ˈvaɪələnt jəŋ mɛn hu ər ˈvəlnərəbəl tɪ ðɛr ˈmɛsɪʤ. ˈmænəʤɪŋ ðɛm wɪl bi ə ˈkɑmpləˌkeɪtəd ˈprɔˌsɛs, soʊ ðə ˈmɪnɪstri əv ˈʤəstɪs həz əˈnaʊnst ə nu əˈproʊʧ: ðə dangerous”*” ɪkˈstrimɪst ˈprɪzənərz wɪl bi ˈaɪsəˌleɪtɪd frəm ðə ˈʤɛnərəl ˌpɑpjəˈleɪʃən ɪn ˈspɛʃəl ˈjunɪts ˈlaɪkənd tɪ "ˈprɪzənz wɪˈθɪn ˈprɪzənz". bət wɪl ɪt wərk?
an experiment in a staffordshire forest will help fill gaps in knowledge about climate change. the project has created an outdoor laboratory by encircling trees with masts gushing high levels of carbon dioxide. the site is surrounded by a fence, and silvery tubes snake along the forest floor in what looks like a sci-fi alien invasion. the scientists behind the experiment want to find how forests will respond to the levels of carbon dioxide expected in the atmosphere by the middle of the century. that means full lab conditions: no food and drink in the woods, and no relieving yourself behind a tree. carbon locked up the role of plants in taking up is one of the known unknowns in climatology. is a plant and researchers think that as levels increase the trees will fix more of it into their trunks, roots and organic matter in the earth. but they believe the fertilizing effect will be limited over time by other factors such as lack of nutrients, lack of water and rising temperatures. humans and forests currently participate in a mutually beneficial exchange in which trees are fed by increasing, and the trees in turn lock up carbon that would otherwise remain in the atmosphere, heating the planet. trees are estimated to be storing between a quarter and a third of the carbon produced by burning fossil fuels, and the earth is becoming greener as a result. one of the great imponderables in climate science is how long forests will continue to buffer climate change as levels continue to spiral. the lead scientist in the woodland, professor rob mackenzie, from birmingham university, agreed that scientists had previously the amount of carbon trees would fix. but he told bbc news: "we are confident that trees will continue to take in more, though we are quite sure that there will be other things that will start to limit that. rising temperatures will (also) change the ability of plants (to absorb) - they are adapted to current temperatures." some scientists argue that the tree fertilization effect offers a reason to be less pessimistic about the effects of increasing. but professor mackenzie disagreed: "not at all, not at all. the land is providing us with a fantastic free service by taking up carbon, and there are uncertainties about how much carbon is going into the land… but there is no chance that will offset hazardous climate change." hunting ground the experiment he is leading will be one of four in different countries measuring the effect of on trees in the forest environment. it is the first of its kind in europe. the woodland, named mill haft, is part of the former hunting ground of the earl of lichfield. it covers 25 hectares and is thought to have been under continuous tree cover for more than than 300 years. the dominant species is the english oak, robur, of around years. experiments in the woods will also examine the effects of at levels on the whole ecosystem including leaves, soil, insects and diseases. professor mackenzie said: "the impact of changing should show up in the leaf chemistry of exposed trees within days, and in the soil within weeks. "within three years stem growth, canopy structure, and a host of other structural forest elements should be different in the patches exposed to elevated. "continuing out to 2026, the 'push' provided by the elevated will pass through all the checks and balances of a mature forest ecosystem, allowing, as each year passes, increasingly better estimates to be made of the extent and capacity of the land carbon sink in 2050 and beyond." media playback is unsupported on your device media caption watch how the vast outdoor laboratory has been installed stuff of dreams he said his experiment might reveal other intriguing effects. so trees in a mature forest, in which intake and release of are in balance, might adapt to high levels by reducing their pores, which in turn would make them more tolerant to drought. professor mackenzie describes the extraordinary site as "a scientist's dream… all my christmases come at once." scientists say it is vital to obtain more certainty about how much rises will be buffered by the sea and land. optimists hope that the ability of the natural world to soak up carbon can buy time for humans to wean themselves off fossil fuels. a recent study estimated that the growing season had been extended on% of land, largely as a result of more available. carbon gesture one of the co-authors, professor from boston university told bbc news: "experiments do indicate a fertilization effect (from) and higher water use efficiency. the same experiments also indicate diminishing effects over time. "we do not know how much of what we observe in experiments translates into the real world. much of this has to do with how nutrient limitations would play out when becomes abundant. "personally, i would not buy the fertilization benefit for the price of global warming and all the impacts that this warming implies, including global warming, loss of sea-ice, rise in sea level, severe storms and loss of biodiversity." the experiment site in staffordshire has been funded by a birmingham alumnus and philanthropist, professor joe bradwell, who made money selling diagnostic medical kits developed at the university - mainly in the us. professor mackenzie said professor bradwell calculated that to offset his carbon footprint he needed to plant trees - and the research project was part of his commitment. follow roger on twitter	ən ɪkˈspɛrəmənt ɪn ə ˈstæfərdˌʃaɪər ˈfɔrɪst wɪl hɛlp fɪl gæps ɪn ˈnɑlɪʤ əˈbaʊt ˈklaɪmɪt ʧeɪnʤ. ðə ˈprɑʤɛkt həz kriˈeɪtɪd ən ˈaʊtˌdɔr ˈlæbrəˌtɔri baɪ ɛnˈsərkəlɪŋ triz wɪθ mæsts ˈgəʃɪŋ haɪ ˈlɛvəlz əv ˈkɑrbən daɪˈɑkˌsaɪd. ðə saɪt ɪz sərˈaʊndɪd baɪ ə fɛns, ənd ˈsɪlvəri tubz sneɪk əˈlɔŋ ðə ˈfɔrɪst flɔr ɪn wət lʊks laɪk ə ˌsaɪˈfaɪ ˈeɪliən ˌɪnˈveɪʒən. ðə ˈsaɪəntɪsts bɪˈhaɪnd ðə ɪkˈspɛrəmənt wɔnt tɪ faɪnd haʊ ˈfɔrəsts wɪl rɪˈspɑnd tɪ ðə ˈlɛvəlz əv ˈkɑrbən daɪˈɑkˌsaɪd ɪkˈspɛktɪd ɪn ðə ˈætməsˌfɪr baɪ ðə ˈmɪdəl əv ðə ˈsɛnʧəri. ðət minz fʊl læb kənˈdɪʃənz: noʊ fud ənd drɪŋk ɪn ðə wʊdz, ənd noʊ rɪˈlivɪŋ ˈjɔrsɛlf bɪˈhaɪnd ə tri. ˈkɑrbən lɑkt əp ðə roʊl əv plænts ɪn ˈteɪkɪŋ əp ɪz wən əv ðə noʊn əˈnoʊnz ɪn climatology. ɪz ə plænt ənd ˈrisərʧərz θɪŋk ðət ɛz ˈlɛvəlz ˌɪnˈkris ðə triz wɪl fɪks mɔr əv ɪt ˈɪntu ðɛr trəŋks, ruts ənd ɔrˈgænɪk ˈmætər ɪn ðə ərθ. bət ðeɪ bɪˈliv ðə ˈfərtəˌlaɪzɪŋ ˈifɛkt wɪl bi ˈlɪmɪtɪd ˈoʊvər taɪm baɪ ˈəðər ˈfæktərz səʧ ɛz læk əv ˈnutriənts, læk əv ˈwɔtər ənd ˈraɪzɪŋ ˈtɛmpərəʧərz. ˈjumənz ənd ˈfɔrəsts ˈkərəntli pɑrˈtɪsəˌpeɪt ɪn ə mˈjuʧuəli ˌbɛnəˈfɪʃəl ɪksˈʧeɪnʤ ɪn wɪʧ triz ər fɛd baɪ ˌɪnˈkrisɪŋ ənd ðə triz ɪn tərn lɑk əp ˈkɑrbən ðət wʊd ˈəðərˌwaɪz rɪˈmeɪn ɪn ðə ˈætməsˌfɪr, ˈhitɪŋ ðə ˈplænət. triz ər ˈɛstəˌmeɪtɪd tɪ bi ˈstɔrɪŋ bɪtˈwin ə kˈwɔrtər ənd ə θərd əv ðə ˈkɑrbən prəˈdust baɪ ˈbərnɪŋ ˈfɑsəl fjuəlz, ənd ðə ərθ ɪz bɪˈkəmɪŋ ˈgrinər ɛz ə rɪˈzəlt. wən əv ðə greɪt ˌɪmˈpɑndərəbəlz ɪn ˈklaɪmɪt saɪəns ɪz haʊ lɔŋ ˈfɔrəsts wɪl kənˈtɪnju tɪ ˈbəfər ˈklaɪmɪt ʧeɪnʤ ɛz ˈlɛvəlz kənˈtɪnju tɪ ˈspaɪrəl. ðə lɛd ˈsaɪəntɪst ɪn ðə ˈwʊˌdlænd, prəˈfɛsər rɑb məˈkɛnzi, frəm ˈbərmɪŋˌhæm ˌjunəˈvərsəti, əˈgrid ðət ˈsaɪəntɪsts hæd ˈpriviəsli ðə əˈmaʊnt əv ˈkɑrbən triz wʊd fɪks. bət hi toʊld ˌbibiˈsi nuz: "wi ər ˈkɑnfədənt ðət triz wɪl kənˈtɪnju tɪ teɪk ɪn mɔr ðoʊ wi ər kwaɪt ʃʊr ðət ðɛr wɪl bi ˈəðər θɪŋz ðət wɪl stɑrt tɪ ˈlɪmət ðət. ˈraɪzɪŋ ˈtɛmpərəʧərz wɪl (ˈɔlsoʊ) ʧeɪnʤ ðə əˈbɪləˌti əv plænts (tɪ əbˈzɔrb ðeɪ ər əˈdæptɪd tɪ ˈkɑrənt ˈtɛmpərəʧərz." səm ˈsaɪəntɪsts ˈɑrgju ðət ðə tri ˌfərtəlɪˈzeɪʃən ˈifɛkt ˈɔfərz ə ˈrizən tɪ bi lɛs ˌpɛsəˈmɪstɪk əˈbaʊt ðə ˈifɛkts əv ˌɪnˈkrisɪŋ bət prəˈfɛsər məˈkɛnzi dɪsəˈgrid: "nɑt æt ɔl, nɑt æt ɔl. ðə lænd ɪz prəˈvaɪdɪŋ ˈjuˈɛs wɪθ ə fænˈtæstɪk fri ˈsərvɪs baɪ ˈteɪkɪŋ əp ˈkɑrbən, ənd ðɛr ər ənˈsərtəntiz əˈbaʊt haʊ məʧ ˈkɑrbən ɪz goʊɪŋ ˈɪntu ðə land…… bət ðɛr ɪz noʊ ʧæns ðət wɪl ˈɔfˌsɛt ˈhæzərdəs ˈklaɪmɪt ʧeɪnʤ." ˈhəntɪŋ graʊnd ðə ɪkˈspɛrəmənt hi ɪz ˈlidɪŋ wɪl bi wən əv fɔr ɪn ˈdɪfərənt ˈkəntriz ˈmɛʒərɪŋ ðə ˈifɛkt əv ɔn triz ɪn ðə ˈfɔrɪst ɪnˈvaɪrənmənt. ɪt ɪz ðə fərst əv ɪts kaɪnd ɪn ˈjʊrəp. ðə ˈwʊˌdlænd, neɪmd mɪl hæft, ɪz pɑrt əv ðə ˈfɔrmər ˈhəntɪŋ graʊnd əv ðə ərl əv lichfield. ɪt ˈkəvərz 25 ˈhɛkˌtɑrz ənd ɪz θɔt tɪ hæv bɪn ˈəndər kənˈtɪnjuəs tri ˈkəvər fər mɔr ðən ðən 300 jɪrz. ðə ˈdɑmənənt ˈspiʃiz ɪz ðə ˈɪŋlɪʃ oʊk, robur, əv əraʊnd jɪrz. ɪkˈspɛrəmənts ɪn ðə wʊdz wɪl ˈɔlsoʊ ɪgˈzæmɪn ðə ˈifɛkts əv æt ˈlɛvəlz ɔn ðə hoʊl ˈikoʊˌsɪstəm ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ livz, sɔɪl, ˈɪnˌsɛkts ənd dɪˈzizɪz. prəˈfɛsər məˈkɛnzi sɛd: "ðə ˌɪmˈpækt əv ˈʧeɪnʤɪŋ ʃʊd ʃoʊ əp ɪn ðə lif ˈkɛmɪstri əv ɪkˈspoʊzd triz wɪˈθɪn deɪz, ənd ɪn ðə sɔɪl wɪˈθɪn wiks.

share email on saturday, more than a dozen modified production cars will line up for theart of the 2016 red bull global season. if entered your radar until just now, feel bad about it -- this discipline of has been more popular on the european side of the pond throughout much of its history, and got its officialart just six years ago. since the series officially began in 2011, become an established version of the sport in the unitedates. brought in competitors like “top gear usa” host tanner foust and former nascar and formula one competitor scott speed, as well as dcoes founder andar ken block over the years. officially added a development series, lites, in 2013. honda joined over the, as well, meaning that civics will join thearting grid this weekend in the top class. the first event of the season is a just outside phoenix at wild horse passs park, a new venue on the schedule. the courses vary from track to track, and the phoenix circuit will be a track with 12 turns and an approximate makeup of 80 percent pavement and 20 percent dirt. if you gotten the chance to add to your personals encyclopedia just yet, here break this particular series down for you. scott speed photo by red bull updates from the ken block heads to the world rally championship: despite coming close on more than one occasion, veteran ken block never managed to win a series championship during five seasons. he pursue one this year, either, as his racing division team took its efforts to the world rally championship for the 2016 season. block competes alongside teammate andreas in a new ford focus car, and they sit and eighth in the championshipandings, respectively, three races into the season. jeff ward goes full time in: after making a handful ofarts last season, motorcycle hall of fame member jeff ward will join the series full time in 2016 with. ward has experience in racing, and, and be in a ford fiesta for the season. indycar driver sebastian saavedra to make debut in phoenix: after competing in the verizon series periodically between 2011 and 2015, sebastian saavedra will head to the event to make his series debut in the no. 77 ford fiesta. the release on monday did not specify what team he will compete with, and no announcement has been made on whether saavedra will run more races this season. tanner whitten photo by red bull race formats and the championship rallycross essentially developed from enclosing rally racing, and visits racetracks -- occasionally constructed within existing racetracks like daytona international speedway -- throughout its season. the cars run heats and semifinals in order to set the field for the main event, which makes for a fast-paced race day. each trackares a few basic characteristics with the rest: racing circuits comprising both dirt and pavement, a jump and a "joker lap." the joker lap has to be taken by each driver once per race, and all joker counts resetould a raceoppage occur. essentially arategy tool, which can either be beneficial or detrimental depending on when a driver takes it and where he ore is in the field at that time. red bull global looks to build momentum in 2016. photo by red bull tanner foust: volkswagen andretti driver and series champion in 2011 and 2012. both foust and scott speed drive a relatively new car to the series -- the volkswagen beetle, which replaced the polo's run in prior years. scott speed: volkswagen andretti driver and 2015 series champion. won his debut in at x games in 2013 and has been arong force in the series since. patrik sandell: bryan herta driver who finished eighth in the 2015 seriesandings. defending champion speed “expected (sandell) to be the biggest competitor” for the title at the end of last season, and perhaps that bodes well for him this year. joni wiman: while 2015 season wasn't nearly asrong as the one prior, the 2014 series champion will pilot a car brand new to the series this year -- the honda civic car. the andretti team learned in 2014 that new cars come with their own set of challenges, but it will be interesting to watch how wiman and the honda red bull team perform this year.	ʃɛr iˈmeɪl ɔn

"f**** pull over now c," he said to himself after honking. the driver slows down, drives off, then pulls over again amid more honking. the shows flanagan emerging from the police car, pointing a gun at the driver saying: "get out of your f*** car right now." also tendered to court was a recording made by the driver's partner as she sat in the. "what the f* are you pulling here today?" flanagan said to her partner. "you came past me - i'm bloody beeping the horn up the side to point you over and you still keep driving. "what is your f**** story? do you have a licence? "you didn't see me? right, where's your licence dickhead?" police present footage of separate incident the driver was then handcuffed while flanagan checked his registration but was released a short time later when the senior constable realised it was not a stolen car as he first assumed. the couple later filed an official complaint prompting the immediate suspension of flanagan. he was also charged with assault and deprivation of liberty after an investigation by the ethical standards command. but flanagan said withholding pay during his suspension was unfair. in his application to court, flanagan said he thought the car was stolen and he had not realised his sirens were not on. in submissions, senior police management said it stood by its decision and tendered another video of flanagan in a separate incident on the gold coast in 2013 in which he was stood down for failing to treat a driver with appropriate dignity and respect. in this video, he pulled a driver over on the m1 for allegedly speeding. "you're doing 150 and you're driving like an absolute c* mate," he said. "no, i wasn't," the driver replied. as the driver explained his actions, his keys were thrown to the ground. "we'll go to court and i'll sit there and drink coffee and laugh my ass off while you get convicted, how's that sound?" flanagan said. flanagan will face court on the criminal charges in relation to the incident later this week while the supreme court decides on the outcome of his pay. under the suspension order, he is still allowed to find casual work for the time being. topics: police, courts-and-trials,, qld,-4730, first posted	ˈvɪʒən riˈlist əv pəˈlis ˈɔfɪsər ˈpʊlɪŋ gən ɔn ˈspidɪŋ ˈmoʊtərɪst ɪn ˈaʊtˌbæk kˈwinzˌlænd ˈəpˌdeɪtɪd ðə ˈeɪˌbiˌsi həz əbˈteɪnd ɪkˈsklusɪv ˈfʊtɪʤ əv ðə ˈmoʊmənt ə ˈsinjər ˈkɑnstəbəl pʊld ə gən ɔn ə ˈmoʊtərɪst kɔt ˈspidɪŋ ɪn ˈaʊtˌbæk kˈwinzˌlænd. ðə ˈvɪdioʊ ɪz pɑrt əv ə kəˈlɛkʃən əv klɪps ˈtɛndərd tɪ ə ˈsɪvəl ˈhirɪŋ ˌbiˈfɔr ə ʤəʤ ɪn ðə səˈprim kɔrt ɛz ðə pəˈlismən faɪts tɪ hæv hɪz peɪ ˌriɪnˈsteɪtɪd. ðə fərst ˈvɪdioʊ ʃoʊz ˈsinjər ˈkɑnstəbəl ˈstivən ˈflænəgən ˈdraɪvɪŋ ɔn ðə ˈhaɪˌweɪ ɔn ðə ˈaʊtˌskərts əv ˌbiˈfɔr hi spɑts ə ˈdraɪvɪŋ 126 ˌkɪˈlɔˌmətərz pər aʊər ɪn ə zoʊn. ɪt wɑz ˈtɛndərd baɪ ˈlɔjərz fər pəˈlis kəˈmɪʃənər ˈiən stuərt ɪn ən ˌæfəˈdeɪvət rɪˈspɑndɪŋ tɪ ˌæpləˈkeɪʃən. ðə ˈvɪdioʊ ʃoʊz ˈflænəgən traɪɪŋ tɪ juz hɪz hɔrn tɪ pʊl ðə ˈdraɪvər ˈoʊvər waɪl hɪz ˈsaɪrən ɪz ɔf. pʊl ˈoʊvər naʊ," hi sɛd tɪ hɪmˈsɛlf ˈæftər ˈhɔŋkɪŋ. ðə ˈdraɪvər sloʊz daʊn, draɪvz ɔf, ðɛn pʊlz ˈoʊvər əˈgɛn əˈmɪd mɔr ˈhɔŋkɪŋ. ðə ʃoʊz ˈflænəgən ˈimərʤɪŋ frəm ðə pəˈlis kɑr, ˈpɔɪntɪŋ ə gən æt ðə ˈdraɪvər seɪɪŋ: "gɪt aʊt əv jʊr kɑr raɪt naʊ." ˈɔlsoʊ ˈtɛndərd tɪ kɔrt wɑz ə rɪˈkɔrdɪŋ meɪd baɪ ðə ˈdraɪvərz ˈpɑrtnər ɛz ʃi sæt ɪn ðə.

of all the conflicts that have raged in american history the civil war remains the bloodiest. on battlefields such as shiloh, antietam, and gettysburg, the death toll averaged out to 425 men per day. this continued for consecutive days, leaving an estimated dead when the last shots were fired. but this casualty rate applied to population would stand at around 6 million: making the body count proportionately far greater than the number of fatalities the united states experienced during world wars i and combined. the civil war left an enormous imprint on the american consciousness in much the same way as world war i did on the european mindset. for both wars, the notion of remembrance is sacrosanct. but if the great war is spoken about in terms of regret, failure, and unnecessary loss of human soldiers died for nothing more than violence for the sake of civil war, in american culture at least, is seen as a necessary struggle, one that finally solidified the ideas that the founding fathers had laid more than 80 years previously when they launched a republic. put simply, the civil war is seen as the american revolution part two. in recent years the enormous scale of destruction has been the focus of fascinating texts. this republic of suffering: death and the american civil war by drew gilpin faust is one such example. many scholars had previously believed that a new phase of which technological advances made it increasingly possible to slaughter large numbers of people at a became possible during world war i. but faust argues that, relative to scale, the civil war was as violent as anything that followed in the century. during the civil war million men bore arms. this made up almost the entire population of those who were of military age in both the south and north. the scales of the armies were enormous, too: in a single battle there might be men on each side, and casualty rates ran as high as 20 to 25 percent. cities were razed. thousands of prisoners of war starved to death. and many were simply shot and left to die on the roadside. in the american civil war, john keegan pays close attention to what can only be described as the sensual elements of horror: delineating how hundreds of thousands of men living in the gilded trying to put the memories of the war to never forget the horrors of dismembered bodies, decapitations, and the files of corpses ranging so close in roadways or trenches that stepping on them was often unavoidable. as a result, the civil war is largely viewed in the minds of americans in terms of the american experience. it was a war fought on u.s. soil, by u.s. citizens, for the future of the u.s. yet, the civil war still remains the only large-scale conflict ever fought between citizens of the same democratic state. what about its impact on the rest of the world? according to john keegan, “in europe, the military significance of the war [though] it was the costliest of the nineteenth century, was largely ignored.” this is a point i suspect don h. doyle, a professor of history at the university of south carolina, would profoundly disagree with. in fact, the underlying argument of his new book, the cause of all nations: an international history of the american civil war, takes the opposite view entirely, arguing that, contrary to conventional historical wisdom, the conflict mattered a great deal to europe and the world at large. well researched, evenly balanced, if slightly narrative, takes us through the trajectory of the intellectual and diplomatic international debate that continually evolved as each stage of the civil war progressed. until now, this is an area of civil war scholarship that has largely been neglected. of the subject is an enormously important contribution to a story that cannot be forgotten, which asks: where does the american civil war fit into a grander narrative about universal human freedom —and progressive enlightenment a global context during the century? doyle turns his attention predominately to the public debate that was happening in europe by prominent intellectuals of the day. these thinkers, writers and journalists saw the civil war as far more than just internal strife between the confederacy and the union. they viewed it instead as an epic showdown between democracy and aristocracy. it was a matter of free versus slave labour, where the winners would decide how the capitalist world would progress in tandem with modernity. before 1860 the united states had offered aspiring republicans around the globe a template for how a free, self-governing nation might live in peace and prosperity. and america, according to doyle, though it was far from perfect, and had many flaws— not least because slavery at that stage was still legal in many automatically became, in many european minds, a model country to aspire to when thinking about progressive ideas such as liberty, equality, and self-rule. and with the civil war, the u.s. seemed to offer to the rest of the world a literal battle between those values and rights. the phrase public diplomacy may not have become an official term in the popular press until world war i. but it was during the civil war that deliberate, programs began attempting to influence the public mind abroad about american foreign policy. just one week after abraham lincoln assumed office on march 4 1861, he sent his secretary of state, william seward, a memo suggesting how he might fill what they anticipated to be four key diplomatic posts. britain and france were crucial. as two leading naval powers in the world, both were heavily dependent on cotton from the south for their textile industries. spain, despite being a feeble power, had colonies in cuba and puerto rico, and thus remained a dangerous potential ally of the south. mexico, meanwhile, remained crucial because of its seaports on the gulf. seward’s initial foreign policy message to the rest of the world contained a firm warning: any gesture of support to the south that could potentially weaken the position would be considered an act of war. the union won the civil war, doyle explains, by executing both soft and hard elements of diplomacy with finesse and brilliant strategic thinking. doyle’s greatest asset, as both a historian and writer, is his ability to patiently tell this story with color, verve, and flair, while also weighing in with his own expertise and commentary at crucial periods of the narrative. he explains how the american civil war is often viewed as a military contest that was decided by major key battles. but propaganda and diplomacy would be equally as important as bombs and bullets in determining which side emerged victorious. for the first crucial months of the conflict, the confederacy was able to set the terms of the debate by emphasizing its desire for national determination. thus the story of free trade, and not slavery, became the narrative with which the south would attempt to legitimize its cause: desperately hoping to win the hearts and minds of the chattering classes back in europe. the conflict, they told the wider world, was about the industrial north pushing an issue of protective tariffs, while the agrarian south wanted free trade with the old world in europe. to begin with, this seemed like a convincing argument. and momentarily, it looked to most observers that the south would win legal legitimacy as a respected nation of the world in due course. but both sides, doyle reminds us, began the conflict denying that slavery was the fundamental issue at stake. while the u.s. president and commander in chief of the union army, abraham lincoln, may have always held a deep antipathy to slavery, and even abhorred it on a personal level, it was not convenient for him to express those opinions in public when the war broke out. and so in his first inaugural address on march 4 1861, lincoln stated that he had no intention to interfere with slavery in those states where it already existed. such a confusing moral position from the american president left many foreigner intellectuals and feature prominently in this a number of key questions. they began to ask: was this simply a civil war with a small domestic dispute about tariffs and territory? or was there, behind the diplomatic and posturing, a noble issue at stake that really did concern the whole of humanity? however, the fundamental principles regarding slavery had already been set in stone after alexander stephens, the vice president of the new nation, addressed the issue in his famous cornerstone speech in savannah, georgia, on march 21 1861. there he openly admitted that slavery was to be tantamount to the ideology and economic position. lincoln during the early stage of the war was careful to eschew any passionate pleas about human freedom. instead, he concentrated on ideas such as universal law, the constitution, and the power of the union. but if thousands of soldiers marched to washington in the spring of 1861 to save the union, what exactly did the concept they were fighting for mean to each of them, either collectively, or an individual basis? hugh brogan in the penguin history of the usa claims that “this crucial question is seldom asked by american historians, and never answered satisfactorily.” attempting to properly develop a feasible answer to this complex, but extremely necessary question, is one of the stronger characteristics that narrative possesses. and, as his thesis continually points out, the more intriguing answers actually came from foreigners, many who had never set foot in america themselves. karl marx, who was living as an exile in london at the time, wrote that “the struggle between the south and north is one concerned with the system of slavery and the system of free labor. it can only be ended by the victory of one system over the other.” while the french intellectual de was the first notable european to publicly declare that, whatever americans proclaimed about the civil war, at the heart of it was the greatest moral issue of the century: slavery. other prominent voices from abroad included john bright, a british quaker reformer, and édouard de laboulaye, an outspoken french republican. for these writers andse political opinions fluctuated from radical utopian thinking, to a more centered that respected constitutional monarchies—america, and indeed the civil war, embodied something greater than just a geographical landscape or territorial squabble. it was an opportunity, doyle argues, to prominently declare, in an age of revolution, that democracy and the rule of law were concepts worth fighting and dying for. eventually, in the summer of 1862, partly due to pressure from a diverse range of liberal foreigners who expected america to fight a war of liberty, lincoln concluded that he must act against slavery to legitimize the union cause. but it would be as commander of chief of the union, and not as chief executive, doyle points out, that lincoln would proclaim emancipation. even marx referred to september emancipation decree as “the most important document in american history since the establishment of the union.” doyle concludes his thesis with great flair and vigor in his penultimate chapter by giving the reader a number of excellent examples about how lincoln cleverly used the written word to his advantage by speaking about the civil war in universal terms. this enabled the american president to frame the war not just as a showdown between the union and the confederacy, but as a trial of democracy that had immense consequence for the future. at his gettysburg address in november 1863, lincoln used the simple, but extremely effective phrase “any nation so conceived”: thus war not just with his fellow citizens, but for the entire of mankind. lincoln, like winston churchill during the second world war in britain, had an exceptional ability to craft speeches that crystallized his political rhetoric with a particular style of literary prose that was simultaneously charming, inspiring, heroic, and noble. but we also need to be careful to distinguish between the emotive connotations a words carry, and their actual significance in the world of realpolitik. the old cliché that actions speak louder than words seems like the appropriate phrase to pay attention to here. indeed, it is true that the triumph in the war sent an optimistic message to all radical reformers and keen democrats on both sides of the atlantic at the time. had the confederacy triumphed, it might have meant, as doyle suggests, a new birth of slavery, possibly throughout the americas. but despite book ending on an optimistic high, readers should be warned to treat his narrative with just a slight dose of skepticism. anyone looking for a more conclusive analysis of how emancipation act actually played out for blacks in the united states after the war ended will really need to look elsewhere for answers. doyle does give a brief mention at the start of the book about why the civil rights movement in the follows a direct trajectory from civil war politics. but not much else follows the one sentence he dedicates to this subject. his failure to explore this in any detail whatsoever left me feeling slightly and disappointed, particularly considering how well the author firmly his argument up until this point of the book. moreover, common knowledge that blacks obtained far less economic power after emancipation, in the reconstruction period, than lincoln had initially foreseen. as john has a slightly less optimistic view on the reconstruction period than points out in his book the american civil war: the south had been beaten but had not been fundamentally changed. feeling was a universal emotion and state was more powerful than loyalty to the union. almost none of the former confederate states were under the government of men who accepted desire for equality and the rule of law. most readers need reminding just how horrific race relations played out for blacks in the united states in the years from the reconstruction era to the civil rights movement; jim crow laws were simply a way of life in southern states. and a subtle system of residential zoning ensured that american cities were continually drawn firmly along lines of color, especially in places like chicago, new york, miami, and los angeles. if book suffers from one minor flaw it is this: his thesis is severely restricted by his own myopic and optimistic view of american history. for example, he claims that: in the century, it appeared to many that the world was moving away from democracy and equality toward repressive government and the expansion of slavery. far from being pushed off the stage by human progress, slavery, aristocratic rule and imperialism seemed to be finding a new life and aggressive new defenders. doyle seems to be suggesting here that in the aftermath of the american civil war a political culture emerged where this all changed: whereby democratic values spread across the atlantic to the imperial powers back in the old world. clearly this was not the case though. imperialism was alive and kicking for the duration of the century, throughout the western world. and it got progressively worse. any suggestion that the outcome of the american civil war abetted this seems to me slightly to say the least. at the berlin conference of entire african continent was shared piecemeal amongst the imperial powers of europe. if this a sign that imperialism was on the rise in the western world, i really know what is. it’s also worth paying close attention to the common mythology of american democracy, versus the kind of government that was actually envisioned when the republic was founded. america’s civil war, doyle tells us in the introductory chapter, “lies at the heart of the story americans tells themselves about themselves.” and he concludes his book with a rather simplistic narrative that claims the conflict “shook the atlantic world and decided the fate of slavery and democracy for the vast future that lay ahead.” but if we want to comprehend american history, in all of its complexity, we really do need to steer clear of this feel-good-narrative, and take a more critical approach. in his book the democracy project, the american anthropologist and radical thinker david graeber attempts to dissect and how the myth of democracy has firmly maintained political hegemony in the united states for over two centuries now. graeber claims that neither the declaration of independence, nor the american constitution, embody the democratic values that we are still today led to believe they do in popular political discourse. in fact, the model for the constitution, says graeber, was based on an autocratic form of government that dates back to antiquity: the roman republic. the founding fathers of the united states were very clear about what they were trying to achieve when they founded a republic: setting up a democratic element of government along with aristocratic and principles. where the president is a monarch, and the senate is the aristocracy. without understanding these basic fundamental principles that the united states was founded on, there is a danger of getting swept along into a tornado of american history that blinds and distorts. scholars such as doyle tend to get caught up in this without even consciously realizing it. it would be vituperative, incorrect, and to deny the importance of the main argument that doyle presents here, for the most part with extreme clarity, precision and skill: just what a union win in the civil war meant for the future of democracy in an international context during the middle of the century. but unless we attempt to figure out exactly what democracy it simply mean freedom for a continually celebrating its cause may be a futile and task. in an excellent collection of essays, published three years ago, entitled the short american for the most part are critical, rather than celebratory of american democracy over the j., the editor, speaks in the opening pages about why the task of critically assessing a considerable swath of u.s. history should not be to prop up american self-esteem. bacevich reminds us that “before history can teach, it must challenge and even discomfit.” if western historians able to face up to the grave prejudices that are contained in numerous epochs of american history, or to continually ask the what is it american democracy has bequeathed to its citizens since the foundation of the united states?— grand and poetic descriptions about a shining city resting upon a hill of divine global will remain nothing more than empty mawkish, sentimental, and jingoistic drivel.	əv ɔl ðə ˈkɑnflɪkts ðət hæv
