futurist thomas frey has predicted more than two billion jobs will disappear by 2030 as a result of automation. statements such as these strike fear into an already turbulent job market, but there are many who believe we should take solace in history. in their book, race against the machine, erik and andrew mcafee explain how the recent panic brought on by ‘technological unemployment’ a term originally coined by john maynard keynes is nothing new. brynjolfsson and mcafee describe how the potential for advances in technology to render human labour obsolete first surfaced during the industrial revolution and the advent of the steam engine. many people then, as now, worried they would lose the race with technology, and unemployment would be widespread. instead, a plethora of new jobs was created: what differed was the type of skills that were required. workers were no longer needed for their physical attributes but their mental faculties. the point and mcafee make is that we should learn from the past and not attempt to compete against machines, but evolve to work in harmony with them, if we wish to transition into the technological revolution as successfully as we did the industrial one. harder, better, faster, stronger in the introduction to their book, and mcafee explain how “our technologies are racing ahead but many of our skills and organisations are lagging behind. so urgent that we understand these phenomena, discuss their implications and come up with strategies that allow human workers to race with machines instead of racing against them”. in the modern world, that is easier said than done. 2bn the number of jobs expected to disappear by 2030 50% the amount of jobs that are potentially within two decades the technology we are now up against simply render our physical attributes useless; computers can outperform us in a wider variety of far more complex tasks. in fact, the only jobs in which we trump machines are those that require social intelligence (e.g. persuasion and negotiation) or creative intelligence (which is simply the ability to imagine new ideas). this means nearly 50 percent of jobs are potentially within a decade or two. but we worry; while automation may eliminate certain jobs, it will also create new ones that require social and creative intelligence. however, this kind of intellect is much harder to acquire. more importantly, there is a natural disparity that is present within nature; such forms of intelligence are very broad and cannot be simply learned. how would you go about teaching such skills in schools? especially when governments around the world are struggling to adequately educate children with the skills they need in order to compete in the current economy, let alone the ‘creative economies’ of the future. the has arrived keynes predicted widespread technological unemployment would occur when our means of the use of labour exceeded the pace at which we were able to find new uses for it. law, which describes the exponential growth pattern that is present within modern technology, means what keynes predicted has now, in the century, become reality. even if we were able to educate and employ a population of creatively intelligent, highly skilled workers, who were capable of “racing with machines” as and mcafee claim is possible it might not be enough. as us economist and historian of economic thought robert said: “[even if] we can employ most of the population as psychiatrists, artists or whatever… there is still an upper limit on employment due, very simply, to the prospect of a ceiling on the total demand that can be generated for marketable goods and services.”	fˈjuʧərɪst ˈtɑməs freɪ həz prɪˈdɪktɪd mɔr ðən tu ˈbɪljən ʤɑbz wɪl ˌdɪsəˈpɪr baɪ 2030 ɛz ə rɪˈzəlt əv ɔtəˈmeɪʃən. ˈsteɪtmənts səʧ ɛz ðiz straɪk fɪr ˈɪntu ən ɔˈrɛdi ˈtərbjələnt ʤɑb ˈmɑrkɪt, bət ðɛr ər ˈmɛni hu bɪˈliv wi ʃʊd teɪk ˈsɑləs ɪn ˈhɪstəri. ɪn ðɛr bʊk, reɪs əˈgɛnst ðə məˈʃin, ˈɛrɪk ənd ˈændru ˈmækəˌfi ɪkˈspleɪn haʊ ðə ˈrisənt ˈpænɪk brɔt ɔn baɪ unemployment’’ ə tərm ərˈɪʤənəli kɔɪnd baɪ ʤɑn ˈmeɪnərd keɪnz ɪz ˈnəθɪŋ nu. ənd ˈmækəˌfi dɪˈskraɪb haʊ ðə pəˈtɛnʃəl fər ədˈvænsɪz ɪn tɛkˈnɑləʤi tɪ ˈrɛndər ˈjumən ˈleɪbər ˌɑbsəˈlit fərst ˈsərfɪst ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə ˌɪnˈdəstriəl ˌrɛvəˈluʃən ənd ðə ˈædˌvɛnt əv ðə stim ˈɪnʤən. ˈmɛni ˈpipəl ðɛn, ɛz naʊ, ˈwərid ðeɪ wʊd luz ðə reɪs wɪθ tɛkˈnɑləʤi, ənd ˌənɪmˈplɔɪmənt wʊd bi ˈwaɪdˈsprɛd. ˌɪnˈstɛd, ə ˈplɛθərə əv nu ʤɑbz wɑz kriˈeɪtɪd: wət ˈdɪfərd wɑz ðə taɪp əv skɪlz ðət wər rikˈwaɪərd. ˈwərkərz wər noʊ ˈlɔŋgər ˈnidɪd fər ðɛr ˈfɪzɪkəl əˈtrɪˌbjuts bət ðɛr ˈmɛntəl ˈfækəltiz. ðə pɔɪnt ənd ˈmækəˌfi meɪk ɪz ðət wi ʃʊd lərn frəm ðə pæst ənd nɑt əˈtɛmpt tɪ kəmˈpit əˈgɛnst məˈʃinz, bət ɪˈvɑlv tɪ wərk ɪn ˈhɑrməni wɪθ ðɛm, ɪf wi wɪʃ tɪ trænˈzɪʃən ˈɪntu ðə ˌtɛknəˈlɑʤɪkəl ˌrɛvəˈluʃən ɛz səkˈsɛsfəli ɛz wi dɪd ðə ˌɪnˈdəstriəl wən. ˈhɑrdər, ˈbɛtər, ˈfæstər, ˈstrɔŋgər ɪn ðə ˌɪntrəˈdəkʃən tɪ ðɛr bʊk, ənd ˈmækəˌfi ɪkˈspleɪn haʊ tɛkˈnɑləʤiz ər ˈreɪsɪŋ əˈhɛd bət ˈmɛni əv ɑr skɪlz ənd ˌɔrgənɪˈzeɪʃənz ər ˈlægɪŋ bɪˈhaɪnd. soʊ ˈərʤənt ðət wi ˌəndərˈstænd ðiz fəˈnɑmənə, dɪˈskəs ðɛr ˌɪmpləˈkeɪʃənz ənd kəm əp wɪθ ˈstrætəʤiz ðət əˈlaʊ ˈjumən ˈwərkərz tɪ reɪs wɪθ məˈʃinz ˌɪnˈstɛd əv ˈreɪsɪŋ əˈgɛnst them””. ɪn ðə ˈmɑdərn wərld, ðət ɪz ˈiziər sɛd ðən dən. ðə ˈnəmbər əv ʤɑbz ɪkˈspɛktɪd tɪ ˌdɪsəˈpɪr baɪ 2030 50 ðə əˈmaʊnt əv ʤɑbz ðət ər pəˈtɛnʃəli wɪˈθɪn tu ˈdɛkeɪdz ðə tɛkˈnɑləʤi wi ər naʊ əp əˈgɛnst ˈsɪmpli ˈrɛndər ɑr ˈfɪzɪkəl əˈtrɪˌbjuts ˈjusləs; kəmˈpjutərz kən ˈaʊtpərˌfɔrm ˈjuˈɛs ɪn ə ˈwaɪdər vərˈaɪəti əv fɑr mɔr ˈkɑmplɛks tæsks. ɪn fækt, ðə ˈoʊnli ʤɑbz ɪn wɪʧ wi trəmp məˈʃinz ər ðoʊz ðət ˌrikˈwaɪər ˈsoʊʃəl ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns (e.g. pərsˈweɪʒən ənd nɪˌgoʊʃiˈeɪʃən) ər kriˈeɪtɪv ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns (wɪʧ ɪz ˈsɪmpli ðə əˈbɪləˌti tɪ ˌɪˈmæʤən nu aɪˈdiəz). ðɪs minz ˈnɪrli 50 pərˈsɛnt əv ʤɑbz ər pəˈtɛnʃəli wɪˈθɪn ə ˈdɛkeɪd ər tu. bət wi ˈwəri; waɪl ɔtəˈmeɪʃən meɪ ɪˈlɪməˌneɪt ˈsərtən ʤɑbz, ɪt wɪl ˈɔlsoʊ kriˈeɪt nu wənz ðət ˌrikˈwaɪər ˈsoʊʃəl ənd kriˈeɪtɪv ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns. ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ðɪs kaɪnd əv ˈɪnəˌlɛkt ɪz məʧ ˈhɑrdər tɪ əkˈwaɪər. mɔr ˌɪmˈpɔrtəntli, ðɛr ɪz ə ˈnæʧərəl dɪˈspɛrəti ðət ɪz ˈprɛzənt wɪˈθɪn ˈneɪʧər; səʧ fɔrmz əv ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns ər ˈvɛri brɔd ənd ˈkænɑt bi ˈsɪmpli ˈlərnɪd. haʊ wʊd ju goʊ əˈbaʊt ˈtiʧɪŋ səʧ skɪlz ɪn skulz?

details category: early mustang published on wednesday, 30 november -0001 written by super user hits: 5797 "the life and times of the first ford mustang "the only known surviving pilot plant vehicle" according to ford motor company, the first production mustang was formally rolled off the assembly live an monday, march 9, 1964 at ford's dearborn, michigan, assembly plant located 12 miles southwest of downtown detroit in the massive rouge industrial complex. this caspian blue mustang, the first production assigned a vin number,, was scheduled for final production thursday, march 5"' . was actually first hand assembled as a pilot vehicle prior to that march date, the day the first cars were scheduled to come off the assembly live. on the apparent real first day of production, march 5"', 1964, approximately 180 mustangs were scheduled to be built. out of all of those first day cars that are known to exist, this 002 car was the only one to be painted blue - all the rest were bither red or white. (it is rumored amongst canadians that production car #3, a thought to be in canada, was painted red - making the first three production cars red, white and blue. a coincidence? (look at the vertical bars behind the running horse fender badge!) also was the only one with a 6 cylinder engine as all the others had v-8's. mustang production guide #1 by jim smart & jim haskell) as best can be reconstructed from all available sources, the first 5 mustangs assigned vin numbers were built for sale in canada. the next 16 mustangs were built to be used as display cars at the 1964 world's fair in new york. as to why the first 5 cars were sent to canada, only an educated guess can be made. ford was planning a spectacular mustang introduction to the public internationally on the evening of april 16th, at which time the actual car would be shown for the first time formally to millions of viewers at home on their televisions. in order to be sure that mustangs were available to be seen in dealerships the very next day, it was imperative that key dealerships had at least one car on display in their showroom. as the theory goes, t made sense to first ship those cars which would take the longest time in terms of distance and logistics to get in place for the formal showing date. the cars for canada fit into this category, since they were to be spread in five different provinces from the east to west coasts. these 5 cars were sent, most probably, by rail car, to the ford of canada facility in windsor, ontario, just across the detroit river for processing. according to ford of canada, these cars were not actually sold to ford of canada, but were by the factory directly to the individual canadian dealer where the car was eventually destined to be sold. it is assumed each of these 5 cars were immediately shipped by ford of canada to their intended destinations by the appropriate means of transportation. according to the ford of canada historical department, there was a directive sent to those 5 canadian dealers relating specifically that each of those cars was to be used as a display model in the showroom and not sold at least until a sufficient supply of mustangs were received by the dealer so as to not leave the dealership without merchandise to display. the length of time referred to in the directive is not known at this time. according to mr. m. c. w. "moe" grant, then general manager of whitehorse motors in the town of whitehorse, yukon territory, this mustang was sent to his dealership by mistake and arrived in may of 1964. mr. wayne mckenna, the whitehorse motors salesman who first sold this car, states the mustang was never ordered by his dealership! there was an error made by the shipping company in vancouver, british columbia, and the car was dispatched from there to his dealership in the yukon. mckenna believes the mustang was originally destined for the large brown brothers ford dealership in vancouver. apparently this wasn't the first time a new ford vehicle was shipped in error to whitehorse motors instead of brown brothers ford. the costs of shipping it back to vancouver were prohibitive, even though paid by ford, and the decision was made by ford to leave the car in whitehorse for sale by whitehorse motors. just where this mustang had been between march and may is unknown, but it is assumed the vehicle was delayed in transit due to the shipping error. needless to say, it never made the worldwide mustang april debut! in 1964, all ford to whitehorse motors was by rail from detroit to vancouver, where the vehicle was placed in a shipping container and loaded aboard a ship. the ship then sailed a 4 day journey off the west coast of canada to the port of skagway, alaska. the vehicle, container and all, was then transferred to the white pass & yukon route railway narrow gauge railway train for a 120 mile mountainous trip to the town of whitehorse where it was unloaded downtown on first ave., about mile from whitehorse motors. it was then removed from the container and a salesman from whitehorse motors picked it up and drove it to the dealership. (this method of shipping was confirmed by the historical dept., ford of canada) this first mustang was displayed in the main street single car showroom of whitehorse motors, the only ford dealer in the entire yukon territory, and with sales of less than 40 new cars per year! wayne mckenna remembers he had an immediate sale for it, but the factory invoice had not been received and the dealer cost was unknown at the time so the purchase oft er was consequently rejected. numerous people came in to drive the new mustang, but since it was jane" car with a small 6 cylinder engine, 13" wheels and no options, there were no offers to purchase. with several hundred miles now on the mustang, general manager moe grant directed salesman mckenna to drive the car as his demonstrator until sold. mckenna states "i hated that car because it had no horsepower and no options like power steering". the dealership installed an engine block heater and he drove the car, remaining always in the immediate whitehorse area, over that summer and winter, putting about 2000 miles on it. sometime in the spring of 1965, a deal was finally made for the purchase of the car. a 1957 plymouth was traded in by mr. doug wootton, and the mustang was sold to him for $3200.00 canadian. mckenna stated "we normally would have never taken plymouth in trade at our dealership, but we were so anxious to get rid of that mustang we would take almost any deal!" incredibly, now one year old , the first mustang was finally sold! ownership chronology from that first sale is known and documented in it's entirety through 14 owners. it was driven in the yukon until october, 1983, including 3 years at a remote small silver mining town north of whitehorse named elsa. a later owner then moved to a suburb of edmonton, alberta, where the mustang remained until december of 1993 when it was sold to a new owner in bozeman, montana. it was not until this time that the mustang was recognized as being something special because of it's serial number, but that history was not thoroughly investigated. the mustang was resold as inoperable with a blown engine to a mustang enthusiast in temecula, california, and was then sold to me 1 year later as inoperable in september of 1997. 1 brought the car to it's new home in the los angeles area. after more than three years of extensive and exhausting research, 1 was able to uncover all of the true facts and document the car as a genuine pilot plant vehicle as weil as the first production mustang. the car has received a total restoration utilizing to original as best possible" philosophy. the authentically restored mustang will be on display at various shows, museums and national mustang venues. who would have ever thought the first mustang would have been sold new at the top of the world? copyright by bob note: you could see a picture from bob's car in the gallery..."	ˈditeɪlz ˈkætəˌgɔri: ˈərli ˈməˌstæŋ ˈpəblɪʃt ɔn ˈwɛnzˌdeɪ, 30 noʊˈvɛmbər 0001 ˈrɪtən baɪ ˈsupər ˈjuzər hɪts: 5797 "ðə laɪf ənd taɪmz əv ðə fərst fɔrd ˈməˌstæŋ "ðə ˈoʊnli noʊn sərˈvaɪvɪŋ ˈpaɪlət plænt ˈviɪkəl" əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ fɔrd ˈmoʊtər ˈkəmpəˌni, ðə fərst pərˈdəkʃən ˈməˌstæŋ wɑz ˈfɔrməli roʊld ɔf ðə əˈsɛmbli lɪv ən ˈmənˌdeɪ, mɑrʧ 9 1964 æt fɔrdz ˈdɪrˌbɔrn, ˈmɪʃɪgən, əˈsɛmbli plænt ˈloʊˌkeɪtəd 12 maɪəlz ˌsaʊθˈwɛst əv ˈdaʊnˈtaʊn ˈdiˌtrɔɪt ɪn ðə ˈmæsɪv ruʒ ˌɪnˈdəstriəl ˈkɑmplɛks. ðɪs ˈkæspiən blu ˈməˌstæŋ, ðə fərst pərˈdəkʃən əˈsaɪnd ə vɪn ˈnəmbər, wɑz ˈskɛʤʊld fər ˈfaɪnəl pərˈdəkʃən ˈθərzˌdeɪ, mɑrʧ 5 wɑz ˈæˌkʧuəli fərst hænd əˈsɛmbəld ɛz ə ˈpaɪlət ˈviɪkəl praɪər tɪ ðət mɑrʧ deɪt, ðə deɪ ðə fərst kɑz wər ˈskɛʤʊld tɪ kəm ɔf ðə əˈsɛmbli lɪv. ɔn ðə əˈpɛrənt ril fərst deɪ əv pərˈdəkʃən, mɑrʧ 5 1964 əˈprɑksəmətli 180 ˈməˌstæŋz wər ˈskɛʤʊld tɪ bi bɪlt. aʊt əv ɔl əv ðoʊz fərst deɪ kɑz ðət ər noʊn tɪ ɪgˈzɪst, ðɪs 002 kɑr wɑz ðə ˈoʊnli wən tɪ bi ˈpeɪnɪd blu ɔl ðə rɛst wər ˈbɪðər rɛd ər waɪt.

shi'ite fighters fire artillery towards islamic state militants during a battle with islamic state militants on the outskirt of tal afar west of mosul, iraq, november 18, 2016. by isabel coles mosul, iraq (reuters) - iraqi troops expanded their foothold on the eastern side of islamic state's stronghold of mosul on friday, as the group pledged to mount more suicide attacks on their offensive to take the city. the elite service (cts) stormed the district on the northeastern edge of mosul, the last major city under control of the sunni group in iraq. a reuters correspondent reporting from the line in saw civilians streaming out of the nearby aden district where fighting blazed, pushing trolleys containing their belongings and carrying home-made white flags. the women were still shrouded in black robes imposed by the militants but most had uncovered their faces as they fled intense fighting. militants have been steadily retreating from areas around mosul into the city since the battle started on oct. 17, with air and ground support from a coalition. "the advance is slow due to the civilians," said lt. general abdul al-saidi, adding that the unit aims to clear the rest of the neighborhood during the day. a friday prayer sermon referring to "mujahideen", or holy warriors, could be heard coming from a mosque under control of the in the vicinity. an armed man, possibly a sniper, was in the minaret of the mosque. as the offensive entered its second month, iraqi government forces are still fighting in a dozen of about 50 neighborhoods on the eastern part of mosul, which is divided by the tigris river that runs through its center. militants are dug in among the civilians as a defense tactic to hamper air strikes, moving around the city through tunnels, driving suicide car bombs into advancing troops and hitting them with sniper and mortar fire. "ready for martyrdom" a loud explosion was heard several streets away from the lines. an officer said it was a suicide bomber who blew himself up after being surrounded in a house. the unit was using a drone to try to detect insurgents. the number of fighters who are ready to blow themselves up is increasing, an insurgent commander told islamic state's weekly magazine,, published online on thursday. "we're giving you the good news that the number of brothers ready for martyrdom is very large and, with god's grace, the brothers who are demanding martyr operations are increasing," said the commander, who was not named. the offensive to take mosul, the largest city under islamic state control in either iraq or syria, is turning into the biggest battle in iraq's turbulent history since the invasion that toppled saddam hussein in 2003. the became the only unit to have breached the city limits from the eastern side two weeks ago. other army units have yet to breach the northern and the southern sides. iranian-backed militias earlier this week announced the capture of the tal afar air base, west of mosul, part of their campaign to choke off the route between the syrian and iraqi parts of the islamic state declared in 2014. the base is located just south of tal afar, a mostly ethnic turkmen town that turkey would not want to fall under the control of the mostly militia coalition known as popular, or shaabi. the plans to besiege the town for now, a spokesman of hezbollah, one of the main paramilitary groups making up the coalition, told reuters on friday. iraqi military estimates put the number of islamic state fighters in mosul at to. facing them is a coalition of iraqi government forces, kurdish fighters and paramilitary units. drawn out battle iraqi authorities have declined to give a timeline for recapture of the whole city, but the battle is likely to last for months. militants have launched waves of against advancing forces, tying them down in lethal urban combat in narrow streets still full of residents. the islamic state commander cited in said the battles with the paramilitary groups known as popular west of mosul will continue "in long episodes". iraqi authorities have not published a casualty toll for the mosul campaign overall - either for security forces, civilians or islamic state fighters. the warring sides claim to have inflicted thousands of casualties in enemy ranks.	shi'ite* ˈfaɪtərz faɪər ɑrˈtɪləri təˈwɔrdz ˌɪzˈlɑmɪk steɪt ˈmɪlətənts ˈdʊrɪŋ ə ˈbætəl wɪθ ˌɪzˈlɑmɪk steɪt ˈmɪlətənts ɔn ðə ˈaʊtˌskərt əv tɑl əˈfɑr wɛst əv ˈmoʊsəl, ˌɪˈrɑk, noʊˈvɛmbər 18 2016 baɪ ˈɪzəˌbɛl koʊlz ˈmoʊsəl, ˌɪˈrɑk (ˈrɔɪtərz) ˌɪˈræki trups ɪkˈspændɪd ðɛr ˈfʊˌthoʊld ɔn ðə ˈistərn saɪd əv ˌɪzˈlɑmɪk steɪts ˈstrɔŋˌhoʊld əv ˈmoʊsəl ɔn ˈfraɪˌdeɪ, ɛz ðə grup plɛʤd tɪ maʊnt mɔr ˈsuɪˌsaɪd əˈtæks ɔn ðɛr əˈfɛnsɪv tɪ teɪk ðə ˈsɪti. ðə ɪˈlit ˈsərvɪs (cts) stɔrmd ðə ˈdɪstrɪkt ɔn ðə ˌnɔrˈθistərn ɛʤ əv ˈmoʊsəl, ðə læst ˈmeɪʤər ˈsɪti ˈəndər kənˈtroʊl əv ðə ˈsuni grup ɪn ˌɪˈrɑk. ə ˈrɔɪtərz ˌkɔrəˈspɑndənt rɪˈpɔrtɪŋ frəm ðə laɪn ɪn sɔ səˈvɪljənz ˈstrimɪŋ aʊt əv ðə ˈnɪrˈbaɪ ˈeɪdən ˈdɪstrɪkt wɛr ˈfaɪtɪŋ bleɪzd, ˈpʊʃɪŋ ˈtrɑliz kənˈteɪnɪŋ ðɛr bɪˈlɔŋɪŋz ənd ˈkɛriɪŋ ˈhoʊmˈmeɪd waɪt flægz. ðə ˈwɪmən wər stɪl ʃˈraʊdɪd ɪn blæk roʊbz ˌɪmˈpoʊzd baɪ ðə ˈmɪlətənts bət moʊst hæd ənˈkəvərd ðɛr ˈfeɪsɪz ɛz ðeɪ flɛd ˌɪnˈtɛns ˈfaɪtɪŋ. ˈmɪlətənts hæv bɪn ˈstɛdəli riˈtritɪŋ frəm ˈɛriəz əraʊnd ˈmoʊsəl ˈɪntu ðə ˈsɪti sɪns ðə ˈbætəl ˈstɑrtɪd ɔn ɔkt. 17 wɪθ ɛr ənd graʊnd səˈpɔrt frəm ə ˌkoʊəˈlɪʃən.

express news service by chennai:though the dates are yet to be finalised, india will host the south asian games this winter and will include, if all stakeholders sign on the dotted line, 28 disciplines. this was discussed during a meeting in singapore on saturday. “we had a fruitful meeting and all the eight south asian country representatives were very cooperative and agreed upon the disciplines,” indian olympic association secretary general mehta told express on monday. the uncertainty over the games were cleared last month when sports minister assured the state government that he would give all possible assistance to the state governments of assam and to host it successfully. “we had a meeting will all stakeholders last week and the government of india has given approval to the games,” said mehta. he also said the two state governments showed keen interest and all stakeholders would work to host the games without any hitch. a lot of major decisions will be taken during a meeting where representatives from pakistan, sri lanka, bangladesh, nepal, bhutan, afghanistan and maldives will meet in delhi on july 8. “it will be a crucial meeting,” said mehta. “the games will be on for around two weeks across two states. we have spoken to other south asian federation members and they agreed. now we have to chalk out a concrete plan. the central government is on board and it will assist the hosts in every way it can. it will help them in upgrading their infrastructure financially.” mehta also said it was because of this new regime that the games were revived. “this was supposed to be hosted in 2012 but got postponed because of various reasons. but when we took over, the president and i worked hard it revive and host the games,” said mehta. “some of the member countries were pleased that the games are being held after a long gap.” the fate of the games hit a road block this year too. though the new regime vowed to get it back and running, the hosts assam and suddenly developed cold feet. assam wanted funds from the centre to upgrade facilities and said it was not in a position to host it if the centre did not support them. however, the sports minister during his visit to assam spoke and convinced the hosts the the event and pledged all support.	ɪkˈsprɛs nuz ˈsərvɪs baɪ ðə deɪts ər jɛt tɪ bi finalised, ˈɪndiə wɪl hoʊst ðə saʊθ ˈeɪʒən geɪmz ðɪs ˈwɪntər ənd wɪl ˌɪnˈklud, ɪf ɔl ˈsteɪˌkhoʊldərz saɪn ɔn ðə ˈdɑtɪd laɪn, 28 ˈdɪsəplənz. ðɪs wɑz dɪˈskəst ˈdʊrɪŋ ə ˈmitɪŋ ɪn ˈsɪŋəˌpɔr ɔn ˈsæˌtɪˌdeɪ. hæd ə ˈfrutfəl ˈmitɪŋ ənd ɔl ðə eɪt saʊθ ˈeɪʒən ˈkəntri ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnətɪvz wər ˈvɛri koʊˈɑpərˌeɪtɪv ənd əˈgrid əˈpɑn ðə disciplines,”,” ˈɪndiən oʊˈlɪmpɪk əˌsoʊʃiˈeɪʃən ˈsɛkrəˌtɛri ˈʤɛnərəl ˈmɛtə toʊld ɪkˈsprɛs ɔn ˈmənˌdeɪ. ðə ənˈsərtənti ˈoʊvər ðə geɪmz wər klɪrd læst mənθ wɪn spɔrts ˈmɪnɪstər əˈʃʊrd ðə steɪt ˈgəvərnmənt ðət hi wʊd gɪv ɔl ˈpɑsəbəl əˈsɪstəns tɪ ðə steɪt ˈgəvərnmənts əv ˌɑˈsɑm ənd tɪ hoʊst ɪt səkˈsɛsfəli. hæd ə ˈmitɪŋ wɪl ɔl ˈsteɪˌkhoʊldərz læst wik ənd ðə ˈgəvərnmənt əv ˈɪndiə həz ˈgɪvɪn əˈpruvəl tɪ ðə games,”,” sɛd ˈmɛtə. hi ˈɔlsoʊ sɛd ðə tu steɪt ˈgəvərnmənts ʃoʊd kin ˈɪntəˌrɛst ənd ɔl ˈsteɪˌkhoʊldərz wʊd wərk tɪ hoʊst ðə geɪmz wɪˈθaʊt ˈɛni hɪʧ. ə lɔt əv ˈmeɪʤər dɪˈsɪʒənz wɪl bi ˈteɪkən ˈdʊrɪŋ ə ˈmitɪŋ wɛr ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnətɪvz frəm ˈpækɪˌstæn, ˈɛˈsɑˈraɪ ˈlæŋkə, ˈbæŋləˌdɛʃ, nəˈpɔl, ˌbuˈtæn, æfˈgænəˌstæn ənd ˈmɔlˌdaɪvz wɪl mit ɪn ˈdɛli ɔn ˌʤuˈlaɪ 8 wɪl bi ə ˈkruʃəl meeting,”,” sɛd ˈmɛtə. geɪmz wɪl bi ɔn fər əraʊnd tu wiks əˈkrɔs tu steɪts. wi hæv ˈspoʊkən tɪ ˈəðər saʊθ ˈeɪʒən ˌfɛdərˈeɪʃən ˈmɛmbərz ənd ðeɪ əˈgrid. naʊ wi hæv tɪ ʧɔk aʊt ə ˈkɑnkrit plæn. ðə ˈsɛntrəl ˈgəvərnmənt ɪz ɔn bɔrd ənd ɪt wɪl əˈsɪst ðə hoʊsts ɪn ˈɛvəri weɪ ɪt kən. ɪt wɪl hɛlp ðɛm ɪn ˈəpˌgreɪdɪŋ ðɛr ˌɪnfrəˈstrəkʧər financially.”.” ˈmɛtə ˈɔlsoʊ sɛd ɪt wɑz bɪˈkəz əv ðɪs nu rəˈʒim ðət ðə geɪmz wər rɪˈvaɪvd. wɑz səˈpoʊzd tɪ bi ˈhoʊstɪd ɪn 2012 bət gɑt poʊstˈpoʊnd bɪˈkəz əv ˈvɛriəs ˈrizənz. bət wɪn wi tʊk ˈoʊvər, ðə ˈprɛzɪdənt ənd aɪ wərkt hɑrd ɪt rɪˈvaɪv ənd hoʊst ðə games,”,” sɛd ˈmɛtə. əv ðə ˈmɛmbər ˈkəntriz wər plizd ðət ðə geɪmz ər biɪŋ hɛld ˈæftər ə lɔŋ gap.”*.” ðə feɪt əv ðə geɪmz hɪt ə roʊd blɑk ðɪs jɪr tu. ðoʊ ðə nu rəˈʒim vaʊd tɪ gɪt ɪt bæk ənd ˈrənɪŋ, ðə hoʊsts ˌɑˈsɑm ənd ˈsədənli dɪˈvɛləpt koʊld fit. ˌɑˈsɑm ˈwɔntɪd fəndz frəm ðə ˈsɛntər tɪ ˈəpˈgreɪd fəˈsɪlɪtiz ənd sɛd ɪt wɑz nɑt ɪn ə pəˈzɪʃən tɪ hoʊst ɪt ɪf ðə ˈsɛntər dɪd nɑt səˈpɔrt ðɛm. ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ðə spɔrts ˈmɪnɪstər ˈdʊrɪŋ hɪz ˈvɪzɪt tɪ ˌɑˈsɑm spoʊk ənd kənˈvɪnst ðə hoʊsts ðə ðə ɪˈvɛnt ənd plɛʤd ɔl səˈpɔrt.

a few readers asked about the tv series orphan black a while back. now that the show is in its second season (and i finally got around to watching the first one and have caught up with the second one), i thought address the central legal questions raised by the show. moderate spoilers below if you seen past the first episode or so, followed by big spoilers if you seen the season one finale. the first question readers had regards the fundamental premise of the show, so it makes sense to address that one first. the second question is about the twist introduced at the end of the first season. the show is set in toronto, but going to answer the first question primarily from a us perspective. the second question regards an area of law i am more familiar with, and i feel reasonably comfortable addressing the canadian law in that area. i. is any of this legal? and by “this” i mean “human cloning.” the answer depends on why the cloning is being done and where. there are two types of cloning: reproductive cloning (i.e. producing a clone in order to make a whole, mature person) and therapeutic cloning (i.e. producing an embryonic clone for stem cells or matched organs). the former has never (verifiably) been done in humans, whereas the latter has been. at the us federal level there is no comprehensive prohibition on reproductive cloning, despite several attempts at introducing such legislation. part of the problem has been crafting a bill that would prohibit reproductive cloning without prohibiting or needlessly hampering therapeutic cloning. the states, however, have been more active. as of 2008 at least thirteen states had completely banned reproductive cloning and two had banned the use of public money to fund it. some of those states also ban therapeutic cloning. of course, these state bans have limited jurisdiction, and they only affect the act of producing the clone. the clone itself (assuming a viable human results from the procedure) would presumably be treated like any other at least one important complication: who are a parents? arguably, existing law does not address the situation very well. for an interesting article on the subject, check out w. nicholson price ii, am i my son? human clones and the modern family, 11 colum. sci. & tech. l. rev. 119 (2010). in canada there is an outright ban on human cloning, part of the 2004 assisted human reproduction act. but of course none of these laws were in effect at the time sarah and the other clones were created in the 1984 [note: thanks to reader ‘pc’ who corrected the clones’ birth year], so in that particular regard the clone creators (technically) done anything illegal. there is, of course, everything else they did, but never mind that… and now for the big season one twist ii. patent pending? no, no, no. wrong, wrong, wrong. the clones cannot be patented. even if they could be, that does not mean that dyad owns them or kira. oh how wrong this is, let me count the ways. in canada not possible to patent any higher life forms, not even “simple” animals such as genetically engineered mice (plants are okay, though, for reasons that strike some as unprincipled). harvard college v. canada (commissioner of patents). it is likely that the canadian charter of rights and freedoms would prohibit exerting ownership over a human being via a patent in any case. in the us possible to patent genetically engineered animals, but it is not possible to patent anything that is “directed to or encompasses a human being.” this was a patent office policy and was codified by the 2011 america invents act. furthermore, the prohibition on slavery would almost certainly mean that even if it were possible to obtain a patent on a genetically engineered human being it would be impossible to enforce such a patent. (nb: in the show rachel says something about a recent supreme court decision regarding synthetic dna, probably a reference to the association for molecular pathology case. a nice reference to current events, but that case has no bearing on patenting genetically engineered humans or on asserting gene patents against individual humans qua humans.) next up: patents have a limited term, and they must be filed for within a certain time after an invention has been in public use. the law on this varies from country to country and has varied over time as well, but the bottom line is that there is almost no way that dyad can have a valid patent that covers sarah and the clones in 2014. such a patent would either have to have been filed for in the at most a year after the clones were born (for a us patent), in which case it would be expired now, or it would have to have been filed for more recently, in which case it would be invalid. possible it could have been the result of a so-called submarine patent, but those are difficult to engineer, and in any case i think that was ever really possible outside the united states. finally: patents are public. the word patent literally means “open.” if dyad owned patents on a method for producing viable human clones (or on genetically engineered humans, or both) it would be public knowledge and a huge deal. certainly cosima would be aware of it. overall the patent nonsense strains my suspension of disbelief, but okay with it because otherwise a very good show.	ə fju ˈridərz æst əˈbaʊt ðə ˌtɛləˈvɪʒən ˈsɪriz ˈɔrfən blæk ə waɪl bæk. naʊ ðət ðə ʃoʊ ɪz ɪn ɪts ˈsɛkənd ˈsizən (ənd aɪ ˈfaɪnəli gɑt əraʊnd tɪ ˈwɑʧɪŋ ðə fərst wən ənd hæv kɔt əp wɪθ ðə ˈsɛkənd wən), aɪ θɔt ˈæˌdrɛs ðə ˈsɛntrəl ˈligəl kˈwɛsʧənz reɪzd baɪ ðə ʃoʊ. ˈmɑdərˌeɪt ˈspɔɪlərz bɪˈloʊ ɪf ju sin pæst ðə fərst ˈɛpɪˌsoʊd ər soʊ, ˈfɑloʊd baɪ bɪg ˈspɔɪlərz ɪf ju sin ðə ˈsizən wən fəˈnæli. ðə fərst kˈwɛʃən ˈridərz hæd rɪˈgɑrdz ðə ˌfəndəˈmɛnəl ˈprɛmɪs əv ðə ʃoʊ, soʊ ɪt meɪks sɛns tɪ ˈæˌdrɛs ðət wən fərst. ðə ˈsɛkənd kˈwɛʃən ɪz əˈbaʊt ðə twɪst ˌɪntrəˈdust æt ðə ɛnd əv ðə fərst ˈsizən. ðə ʃoʊ ɪz sɛt ɪn tərˈɑntoʊ, bət goʊɪŋ tɪ ˈænsər ðə fərst kˈwɛʃən praɪˈmɛrəli frəm ə ˈjuˈɛs pərˈspɛktɪv. ðə ˈsɛkənd kˈwɛʃən rɪˈgɑrdz ən ˈɛriə əv lɔ aɪ æm mɔr fəˈmɪljər wɪθ, ənd aɪ fil ˈrizənəbli ˈkəmfərtəbəl æˈdrɛsɪŋ ðə kəˈneɪdiən lɔ ɪn ðət ˈɛriə. aɪ. ɪz ˈɛni əv ðɪs ˈligəl?

former congressman anthony weiner, who resigned in disgrace amid a sexting scandal, said tuesday he would only come out of political retirement to run against donald trump jr. in a race for the mayor of new york city and said he would beat him “like a rented mule.” trump jr., the son of republican presidential nominee donald trump, has been floated as a possible challenger to democratic mayor bill de in 2017 since his speech in support of his father at the republican national convention last week in cleveland. weiner, a democrat, was attending his national convention in philadelphia and was asked about the rumored trump jr. candidacy. weiner suggested that he would return from political exile to take on the son of the billionaire real estate mogul. "the only thing that could make me come out of retirement and run for mayor again is if anyone named trump ran," weiner told wnyw-tv. "i would come out of retirement just to beat him like a rented mule, and then i'd turn the keys back over to de." trump jr. retorted on twitter that weiner, who resigned his congressional seat after admitting he sent sexually explicit messages to women who weren't his wife, should get lost. too soon anthony!!! you probably shouldn't be talking about beating anything ever again. go back to your cave. donald trump jr. (@donaldjtrumpjr) july 26, 2016 trump jr., an active campaigner who also is helping to run his father's business, has pointedly not ruled out entering politics. but trump has made clear that trump jr. won't be running for mayor next year. "donald trump jr. has no intention of running for mayor of new york, but i was the one who predicted that anthony weiner would flame out and not be able to run for mayor," trump said in a statement. "people were amazed at how insightful i was." weiner unsuccessfully ran for mayor in 2005. he resigned his congressional seat in 2011. he made another bid for mayor in 2013 and was leading several polls until it was revealed he had continued the questionable behavior after his resignation. he now works as a pundit and consultant. weiner's wife, abedin, is a top adviser to hillary clinton, the first woman to win the convention votes needed to claim the presidential nomination of a major u.s. political party. the associated press contributed to this report.	ˈfɔrmər ˈkɑŋgrəsmən ˈænθɔˌni ˈwaɪnər, hu rɪˈzaɪnd ɪn dɪsˈgreɪs əˈmɪd ə ˈsɛkˌstɪŋ ˈskændəl, sɛd ˈtuzˌdeɪ hi wʊd ˈoʊnli kəm aʊt əv pəˈlɪtɪkəl rɪˈtaɪərmənt tɪ rən əˈgɛnst ˈdɑnəld trəmp jr. ɪn ə reɪs fər ðə meɪər əv nu jɔrk ˈsɪti ənd sɛd hi wʊd bit ɪm ə ˈrɛntɪd mule.”.” trəmp jr., ðə sən əv rɪˈpəblɪkən ˌprɛzɪˈdɛnʃəl ˌnɑməˈni ˈdɑnəld trəmp, həz bɪn ˈfloʊtɪd ɛz ə ˈpɑsəbəl ˈʧælɪnʤər tɪ ˌdɛməˈkrætɪk meɪər bɪl də ɪn 2017 sɪns hɪz spiʧ ɪn səˈpɔrt əv hɪz ˈfɑðər æt ðə rɪˈpəblɪkən ˈnæʃənəl kənˈvɛnʃən læst wik ɪn ˈklivlənd. ˈwaɪnər, ə ˈdɛməˌkræt, wɑz əˈtɛndɪŋ hɪz ˈnæʃənəl kənˈvɛnʃən ɪn ˌfɪləˈdɛlfiə ənd wɑz æst əˈbaʊt ðə ˈrumərd trəmp jr. ˈkændɪdəsi. ˈwaɪnər səˈʤɛstɪd ðət hi wʊd rɪˈtərn frəm pəˈlɪtɪkəl ˈɛkˌsaɪl tɪ teɪk ɔn ðə sən əv ðə ˌbɪljəˈnɛr ril ɛˈsteɪt ˈmoʊgəl.

random japanese player at your locals? on a nerd pilgrimage to and not sure what to say? pretty girl at the tournament and you want to show off your japanese but don't actually know how to rune speak? you're on the moon and the evil moon emperor who only speaks japanese wants you to prove that the world is worth protecting... and the only way you can do so is through vanguard fight!!!??? these situations are common in day to day life, and as such, it's important to learn some handy words to use when playing vanguard in japanese. don't worry. got you covered. welcome to basic japanese for vanguard fight. as long as you know the basic rules and most cards, you don't actually need to communicate as much information to keep the game going. card games are communication tool! we will start with greetings. [well met] onegaishimasu] [よろしくお願いします] it is customary to greet someone at the start of a game when you first sit down with them. introducing yourself is also quite important in the foundations of relationship building . [my name is sarah. i play dimension robo. what is your name?] wa sarah to moushimasu. wa dimensions robo wo tsukatteimasu. no na roboを使っています。貴殿に問おう：君の名は？」 you may or may not know your decks name in japanese so english is somewhat acceptable. just insert your own name where sarah was placed and you're all set! can also be swapped in and out for any other word you use to call yourself. if you're at loss for what to use you can just use your own name and call yourself in third person! other examples of how to call yourself are and boys) (more feminine but gender neutral) (very female) or ore (masculine). if you have another on to for it. if you get your slightly wrong don't worry! you're a foreigner and therefore can get away with anything. [i use. what clan do you use?] wa wo tsukatteimasu. wa clan desuka?] as you can see here we did an example of using over. another important thing is rock paper scissors. in japan we have ken pon. it goes was gu (rock) ken pon (you throw your hand). both players place rock first, and on the pon bring out what they wanted. however if it's a tie, instead or repeating the rock, they say de shou] with [shou] being the best you play your rock paper or scissors. there are two beats to prepare for the first throw but only one to prepare if it's a tie. keep this in mind. in vanguard the most important thing to convey is power, guard amount, and critical. power is basic numbers. thousand is [sen]. however in japanese instead of ten thousand we have a different word, [mann] to express multiples of ten thousand. for example [twenty four thousand] [ni mann sen] [にまんよんせん] as you can see twenty four became "two ten thousands and four thousands" [this attack] [kono kougeki] [to guard] is [youkyuu] example is [twenty five thousand to guard] [ni mann go sen youkyuu] which is great if you're attacking but what if you're guarding? [how much to guard?] [guard chi desuka] the guard chi here means guard amount, and means how much. when giving some number of trigger to pass it's said as to penetrate" [4 to mai kantsuu]「よんまいかんつう」 where perfect guard amounts are, as we know from the [perfect guard] gaaado！] when declaring perfect guard remember to play that announces a comeback when declaring unit rows, use the word [front row] [zen]「前列」 [back] in vanguard there are many skills and effects but most of them are a combination of several basic things to do. call retire power guard restrict soul charge soul blast counter blast stand draw and criticals. of course there are many outliers but these are the basic few things that effects do. call, soul charge/blast, stand, draw and counter blast are all the same in japanese. power pump and critical gain is "jyoushou" [gain power] [power jyoushou]「パワーじょうしょう」 [gain jyoushou] [guard restrict] [guard seigen] [ガードせいげん] [retire][taikyaku][たいきゃく] 「retire back row behind vanguard ushiro」「退却、後列ヴァンガード後ろ」 [look at seven ] [nana mai miru] [ななまいみる] so you just combine these short terms to the phrase you need. next we will review a few terms for asking to check opponents cards [may i check your ii?]「ソウル確認していい？」 [how many cards in nannmai？] it is also important to call for your triggers in the correct language. while shouting come my triggers or anything else to call for stride costs etc in english may work in your home country it doesn't work in japan. while in rome do as the romans do. keep in mind that the orientation in every country and even every location you go to is different. how you called for triggers in your home country will be completely ineffective when suddenly placed into a different orientation and worse even different all together. (if you have been playing vanguard up til now and not been calling for triggers, now you know why your trigger rate is so low. you missed one of the basic classes in how to trigger.) instead, try these commonly used examples. [my boiling blood calls out! triggers! friends! come now for your master! drive check! critical trigger!!] [waga chi ga sakebu! yo! yo! no tame mai kitare!!!!!!!] 「我が血が叫ぶ！トリガーよ！友よ！今こそ主のために舞い来たれ！！ドライブチェック！クリティカルトリガー！！！」 if that's not to your style try out [i release the restraints on my right arm to unleash my true bzzt) the card i draw with my arm -burning fisto- will decide the fate of this battle!!! let's go! drive check!!! get!! the!! trigger!! ] [kono ude no wo ore no shin no pachi) ore no ude fisto- de de yaruyo! ikuze!!!! getto! za!!!!!!! ] 「この右腕の拘束を解き目覚めろ俺の真の力！（パチパチ）俺の腕-バーニングfist-で引いたカードで勝負決めてやるよ！！行くぜ!ドライブチェック！ゲット！ザ！トリガー！！！」 last is some quick words after you finish a game. pick and choose which one you want to use [thank you very much it was a fun fight] fight deshita] [ありがとうございましたたのしいファイトでした」 [would you like to fight again?] [mataka] note that although here is a negative, the question nature makes it an inquisitive sentances.

swiftly expanding trade ties with cuba, the obama administration opened the door to easier travel and a wide range of new export opportunities with the communist island starting friday, punching the biggest hole to date in america's embargo. less than a month after the cold war foes agreed to end their enmity, the commerce and treasury departments unveiled new rules thursday permitting u.s. citizens to visit cuba without special permits. most u.s. travellers still will be required to go on supervised group trips, but now virtually any u.s. company or organization can offer such trips without the paperwork and inspections that discouraged past expansion of travel to cuba. some tour operators, already seeing unprecedented interest in legal travel to cuba, expect some tourists to simply ignore the restrictions. american companies also now will be permitted to export telephones, computers and internet technology, and to send supplies to private cuban firms. however, cuban authorities have said nothing about the restrictions they might impose on u.s. products entering a country that has long frustrated foreign investors with red tape and infrastructure. the changes are the latest step in u.s. president barack obama's plan to rebuild relations with cuba after a history marred by suspicion, espionage and conflict. the new regulations come three days after u.s. officials confirmed the release of 53 political prisoners cuba had promised to free. 'isolation has not worked' the u.s. is now "one step closer to replacing policies," treasury secretary jacob lew said thursday. white house spokesman josh earnest said the new rules "immediately enable the american people to provide more resources to empower the cuban population to become less dependent upon the economy." they also allow u.s. citizens to start bringing home small amounts of cuban cigars, long adored by aficionados but banned under u.s. law. the limit is $100 for alcohol and tobacco products and $400 in total goods. u.s. president obama shakes hands with cuban president raul castro in soweto, south africa, for a memorial service for nelson mandela. since then u.s. sanctions have eased dramatically. (associated press) only congress can fully end the embargo. obama announced last month he would soften the restrictions, arguing that "these 50 years have shown that isolation has not worked." the new spirit of cooperation emerged after 18 months of secret talks that culminated in the exchange of imprisoned spies and the release of alan gross, a u.s. government contractor who had been imprisoned in cuba for five years. the few u.s. companies facilitating travel to cuba say inquiries have exploded since december and american visits are expected to surge this year from about annually. "we're hiring more people. we've secured more hotel rooms and assets in cuba to provide additional travel," said tom popper, president of new insightcuba. commercial flights between the two nations are still some time away. before airlines offer routine service from one country to another, the two governments must agree on the terms in a treaty. major airlines look to set up flights such an agreement did exist between the u.s. and cuba in the. however, thursday afternoon the u.s. transportation department posted a notice saying the two nations need to start fresh. the u.s. airlines with permission to fly to cuba will not suddenly regain that right and are not favored in the government's new deliberations. "the u.s. government will engage with the government of cuba to assess our aviation relations and establish a bilateral basis for further expansion of air services," susan l. kurland, the department's assistant secretary for aviation and international affairs, wrote in the notice. united airlines, delta air lines and airways have all expressed an interest in flying to the island nation. hotels in havana and elsewhere generally fall short of international standards, and those with better food and service are almost always fully booked during the winter high season. so the tourism surge could be challenging. "american tourists are really demanding," said gonzalez, a hotel receptionist in havana. "how do i explain to one that the taxi didn't come because it doesn't have tires or that there's no water in the rooms?" cubans also can legally rent out their homes or apartments, which could mean money outside of state control going to private citizens something u.s. officials say they want. most of the other possible changes now depend on cuban president raul castro's government. general travel ban still in place cuba is already awash in american products brought in people's luggage, including iphones and tvs. the main barriers to internet access are high prices and restrictions imposed by a government desperate for hard currency and worried about allowing citizens unrestricted communications. cuban officials are keen on greater travel by american tourists and the hundreds of thousands of who currently visit the island each year under a general license. american officials stress that a general travel prohibition for americans remains in force. travellers must certify compliance with u.s. laws with airlines in advance, officials say, and investigators can demand to see records and documents up to five years after a trip is made. infractions can incur penalties. but the 12 categories of people now allowed to visit to cuba are broad. months after the musicians and beyonce went to havana, a treasury department auditor declared their trip legal under rules allowing educational travel. they visited an art school and a local theatre group. and cracking down on violators under the new arrangement may prove difficult. "it's basically unenforceable," said john mcauliff, executive director of the fund for reconciliation and development, a nongovernmental organization that organizes trips to cuba.	sˈwɪftli ɪkˈspændɪŋ treɪd taɪz wɪθ ˈkjubə, ðə ˌoʊˈbɑmə ædˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃən ˈoʊpənd ðə dɔr tɪ ˈiziər ˈtrævəl ənd ə waɪd reɪnʤ əv nu ˈɛkspɔrt ˌɑpərˈtunətiz wɪθ ðə ˈkɑmjənəst ˈaɪlənd ˈstɑrtɪŋ ˈfraɪˌdeɪ, ˈpənʧɪŋ ðə ˈbɪgəst hoʊl tɪ deɪt ɪn əˈmɛrɪkəz ɛmˈbɑrgoʊ. lɛs ðən ə mənθ ˈæftər ðə koʊld wɔr foʊz əˈgrid tɪ ɛnd ðɛr ˈɛnmɪti, ðə ˈkɑmərs ənd ˈtrɛʒəri dɪˈpɑrtmənts ənˈveɪld nu rulz ˈθərzˌdeɪ pərˈmɪtɪŋ juz. ˈsɪtɪzənz tɪ ˈvɪzɪt ˈkjubə wɪˈθaʊt ˈspɛʃəl ˈpərˌmɪts. moʊst juz. ˈtrævələrz stɪl wɪl bi rikˈwaɪərd tɪ goʊ ɔn ˈsupərˌvaɪzd grup trɪps, bət naʊ ˈvərʧuəli ˈɛni juz. ˈkəmpəˌni ər ˌɔrgənəˈzeɪʃən kən ˈɔfər səʧ trɪps wɪˈθaʊt ðə ˈpeɪpərˌwərk ənd ˌɪnˈspɛkʃənz ðət dɪˈskərɪʤd pæst ɪkˈspænʧən əv ˈtrævəl tɪ ˈkjubə. səm tʊr ˈɔpərˌeɪtərz, ɔˈrɛdi siɪŋ ənˈprɛsɪˌdɛntɪd ˈɪntəˌrɛst ɪn ˈligəl ˈtrævəl tɪ ˈkjubə, ɪkˈspɛkt səm ˈtʊrɪsts tɪ ˈsɪmpli ˌɪgˈnɔr ðə riˈstrɪkʃənz. əˈmɛrɪkən ˈkəmpəˌniz ˈɔlsoʊ naʊ wɪl bi pərˈmɪtɪd tɪ ˈɛkspɔrt ˈtɛləˌfoʊnz, kəmˈpjutərz ənd ˈɪntərˌnɛt tɛkˈnɑləʤi, ənd tɪ sɛnd səˈplaɪz tɪ ˈpraɪvət ˈkjubən fərmz. ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ˈkjubən əˈθɔrətiz hæv sɛd ˈnəθɪŋ əˈbaʊt ðə riˈstrɪkʃənz ðeɪ maɪt ˌɪmˈpoʊz ɔn juz. ˈprɑdəkts ˈɛnərɪŋ ə ˈkəntri ðət həz lɔŋ ˈfrəˌstreɪtəd ˈfɔrən ˌɪnˈvɛstərz wɪθ rɛd teɪp ənd ˌɪnfrəˈstrəkʧər. ðə ˈʧeɪnʤɪz ər ðə ˈleɪtəst stɛp ɪn juz. ˈprɛzɪdənt ˈbɑrək ˌoʊˈbɑməz plæn tɪ riˈbɪld riˈleɪʃənz wɪθ ˈkjubə ˈæftər ə ˈhɪstəri mɑrd baɪ səˈspɪʃən, ˈɛspiənɑʤ ənd ˈkɑnflɪkt. ðə nu ˌrɛgjəˈleɪʃənz kəm θri deɪz ˈæftər juz. əˈfɪʃəlz kənˈfərmd ðə riˈlis əv 53 pəˈlɪtɪkəl ˈprɪzənərz ˈkjubə hæd ˈprɑməst tɪ fri.

rules to restrict nutrient pollution in north carolina waterways are under attack. by catherine language tucked into the budget alarms people who want north carolina to aggressively reduce pollution in rivers, lakes, and estuaries to protect drinking water and fish. the budget provision orders the department of environmental quality to review and revise, in unspecified ways, the management rules. the same goes for rules requiring natural buffers along waterways to reduce that pollution. existing rules would be repealed by 2020. “this is probably the most significant effort to roll back water quality regulations that ever seen,” said robin smith, who for 12 years, until 2013, was assistant secretary of what is now. if kept in budget negotiations between the senate and the house, the language would block activation of rules upstream of jordan and falls lake. all current strategies for the four locations with plans would be repealed by 2020 as would be protections planned for the catawba river basin and the randleman reservoir. regulations requiring buffers to assist nutrient management could go away as well. too much nutrition? nitrogen and phosphorus are natural food sources for aquatic plants and animals. but human and animal waste, fertilizer runoff from farms and tainted storm water have dumped disruptive amounts of the nutrients into streams, rivers, lakes and estuaries around the world. excessive amounts of nutrients can produce large algae blooms, which can alter the taste and scent of water and, more seriously, deplete oxygen in the water. low oxygen can sicken and kill fish. some algal blooms can boost production of toxic compounds and bacteria, posing risks to people who consume tainted fish, including shellfish, and water. the u.s. environmental protection agency expects states to reduce nutrient pollution of rivers, lakes and estuaries. north carolina requires likely polluters upstream of impaired estuaries and lakes to reduce nutrient releases into the river basin, the river basin estuary, the falls lake watershed, and jordan lake watershed. municipalities in north carolina have spent tens of millions of dollars to upgrade wastewater treatment operations to comply. builders and farmers have installed controls and created buffers, natural strips along the edges of streams and river banks that be developed or planted, to slow and clean tainted runoff. each step been shown to reduce the amount of runoff that can reach a waterway. but they always rapidly reduce the amount of nutrients detected in impaired waters. the senate budget language describes that as failure. “existing nutrient management strategies in many cases have shown little to no improvement in water quality, have created an increased regulatory and economic burden in the billions of dollars to the state, its municipalities, and its citizens, and have limited, and in some cases significantly limited, land use options for thousands of public and private properties,” the budget text reads. delayed implementation the general assembly has already delayed the most stringent provisions of the jordan lake rules, passed in 2009, multiple times. been caused in part by opposition by politicians, builders and others from upstream communities such as greensboro and burlington that pay the price, but always see the downstream benefits. during a debate on proposed amendments to the senate budget last week, sen. trudy wade (r-jamestown) said change in nutrient management is needed because costly efforts made voluntarily upstream have not reduced algae levels in places such as jordan lake. “people upstream have done their part. greensboro has already spent $61 million on a treatment plant. burlington has spent $31 million on a treatment plant. greensboro plans to spend $55 million more and make other improvements long before these rules come into effect,” wade said. “they are way ahead of the game. and guess what, it made a dent in the algae in jordan lake.” but sen. mike woodard (d-durham) said impossible to judge the effects of pollution controls that are not yet in place. they inevitably take time to work, woodard said. that said, regulation has improved water quality in the and estuaries, he stressed. “the current strategies have reduced nitrogen and phosphorous pollution where they have been implemented,” woodard argued. “already conditions are not as bad as they were. while estuaries have stabilized, they are still in a very fragile place.” steve tedder, a retired state environmental water quality section chief and a member of environmental management commission, agreed. quite likely the existing rules could be improved, in part by making them more flexible and less costly for some, he said. also, previously sources, possibly polluted groundwater and nutrients emitted by poultry farms, could be better understood. but discarding an approach to pollution control developed with many participants in and out of government over decades would be a mistake, he said. “anytime you take 30 to 40 years of collective work on multiple basins where had nutrient problems and basically thrown those out the door without being very informed of the facts, i think that is not a good way of doing business,” tedder said. “when people say that the strategies in place are not working, i disagree with them. remember that in the we did something in mid-90s, in the 80s. a lot of factors have changed since then, including population. you have a lot of ways nutrients can get into the system. this can be improved,” tedder said, stressing that existing controls have produced concrete benefits. “if you look at fish kill records you see substantial changes. that tells you that things are improving. i just hate to see all of that lost,” tedder said, referring to kills that contributed to the drive to restrict nutrient pollution. deq records dating back to 1997 show a decrease in the number of fish kill deaths between 1997 and 2015. even more analysis the senate move would also commit $2 million to the office of hill to launch a study of nutrient control strategies in north carolina and elsewhere, including those focused on cleaning impaired waters. it would examine costs and benefits. in addition, the budget allocates $500,000 to study the feasibility of using freshwater mussels to help clean up waters, even though those same mussels are imperiled, due in part to pollution, including excessive nutrients in the water. the shellfish do dine on algae, which can grow profusely after ingesting nutrients in impaired waters. researchers in new york, washington state and sweden, for example, have launched projects investigating whether they have promise as bio-extractors, or living cleaners. but it remains unknown whether mussels could help clean large bodies of waters such as jordan lake, falls lake or the estuaries. a previous effort by state officials to test a novel means of reducing algae in a north carolina waterway did not fare well. with more than $1 million investment from legislators, officials installed water mixers called in jordan lake to try to reduce algae growth. when staff members produced a report concluding they did not work, department officials yanked it from an environmental management commission website and rewrote it to include a more positive assessment. the water quality committee, which tedder previously chaired, rejected the revised document and endorsed the first. the committee endorsed a report favoring the use of buffers too, not a version lacking the endorsement. the senate budget language would terminate the project too. north carolina town and city officials will be watching carefully for what language ends up in the final budget. municipalities have stakes in both protecting and cleaning up waterways, said scott mooneyham, director of public affairs for the league of municipalities. “no one has been held accountable to the extent of municipalities because it is far easier to hold contributors accountable.” mooneyham said. “yet municipalities also must pay treatment costs for drinking water when streams are nonetheless impaired by a combination of contributors.” making plans to repeal existing rules when what will follow them is not known is what particularly concerns smith, the former assistant secretary. “this would completely roll back the existing nutrient standards to be replaced by some unknown,” she said. this story was corrected to identify steve membership on the environmental management commission.	rulz tɪ riˈstrɪkt ˈnutriənt pəˈluʃən ɪn nɔrθ ˌkɛrəˈlaɪnə ˈwɔtərˌweɪz ər ˈəndər əˈtæk. baɪ ˈkæθərɪn ˈlæŋgwɪʤ təkt ˈɪntu ðə ˈbəʤɪt əˈlɑrmz ˈpipəl hu wɔnt nɔrθ ˌkɛrəˈlaɪnə tɪ

tgl has been following the devolution of political discourse into and apparent since van jones, the former adviser to the council on environmental quality, first got entangled in it. like many commentators, this blogger has felt that the level of disrespect shown for obama, and indeed the office of the president, of late was fueled by racism. at least as far as rush limbaugh goes, the nagging question has been answered. limbaugh called for segregation of school buses in response to an incident in which a white boy was beaten up by two black boys. here’s the chain of events: in one of probably hundreds of school bus incidents that day, a white student was roughed up punched by two black students while onlookers egged them on. local law enforcement tentatively declared that the incident was racially motivated. the next day, national conservative blog the drudge report made the incident its top story. the same day, the ap reported that law enforcement was now saying that race was not a factor in the fight. (the aggressors objected to the choice of seats.) the next day, limbaugh discussed the incident, and even after a caller reminded him that the police were reporting that race was not a factor, said: in america, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, ‘yay, right on, right on, right on, right on.’ i wonder if going to come to come to the defense of the assailants the way he did his friend skip gates up there at harvard. frankly, hard to make sense of rant, but in what appears to be a continued attempt by the right to redefine racism as blacks’ alleged hatred of whites, with what appeared to be sarcasm, limbaugh made reference to how racism should be socially acceptable because (according to a study cited in newsweek), inborn like homosexuality. apparently still using “racism” in this new frankly orwellian sense, limbaugh went on to opine that not only was the beating [remember, over the choice of seats] “racism, it was justifiable racism. i mean, the lesson being taught here today. kid have been on the bus anyway. we need segregated buses it was invading space and stuff. this is america. takeaway: though hardly even coherent, limbaugh is attempting to tell white people that they should fear this new “racism”; with presidential support, new jim crow laws and beatings could be just around the corner. danger scale: high. update: while some bloggers did miss sarcasm in this segment, did not. see paragraph 7. without sarcasm, limbaugh would have been calling for a return to segregation, which would be racist. with sarcasm, limbaugh was suggesting that the “racist” president will bring about a new segregation in which whites are the separate-but-(not) equal underdogs. which is both racist and.	tgl* həz bɪn ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ðə ˌdɛvəˈluʃən əv pəˈlɪtɪkəl ˈdɪskɔrs ˈɪntu ənd əˈpɛrənt sɪns væn ʤoʊnz, ðə ˈfɔrmər ædˈvaɪzər tɪ ðə ˈkaʊnsəl ɔn ɪnˌvaɪrənˈmɛnəl kˈwɑləti, fərst gɑt ɛnˈtæŋgəld ɪn ɪt. laɪk ˈmɛni ˈkɑmənˌteɪtərz, ðɪs ˈblɔgər həz fɛlt ðət ðə ˈlɛvəl əv ˌdɪsrɪˈspɛkt ʃoʊn fər ˌoʊˈbɑmə, ənd ˌɪnˈdid ðə ˈɔfəs əv ðə ˈprɛzɪdənt, əv leɪt wɑz fjuəld baɪ ˈreɪˌsɪzəm. æt list ɛz fɑr ɛz rəʃ ˈlɪmˌbɔ goʊz, ðə ˈnægɪŋ kˈwɛʃən həz bɪn ˈænsərd. ˈlɪmˌbɔ kɔld fər ˌsɛgrəˈgeɪʃən əv skul ˈbəsɪz ɪn rɪˈspɑns tɪ ən ˈɪnsədənt ɪn wɪʧ ə waɪt bɔɪ wɑz ˈbitən əp baɪ tu blæk bɔɪz. ðə ʧeɪn əv ɪˈvɛnts: ɪn wən əv ˈprɑbəˌbli ˈhənərdz əv skul bəs ˈɪnsədənts ðət deɪ, ə waɪt ˈstudənt wɑz rəft əp pənʧt baɪ tu blæk ˈstudənts waɪl ˈɔnˌlʊkərz ɛgd ðɛm ɔn. ˈloʊkəl lɔ ɛnˈfɔrsmənt ˈtɛntətɪvli dɪˈklɛrd ðət ðə ˈɪnsədənt wɑz ˈreɪʃəli ˈmoʊtəˌveɪtəd. ðə nɛkst deɪ, ˈnæʃənəl kənˈsərvətɪv blɔg ðə drəʤ rɪˈpɔrt meɪd ðə ˈɪnsədənt ɪts tɔp ˈstɔri. ðə seɪm deɪ, ðə ˌeɪˈpi ˌriˈpɔrtəd ðət lɔ ɛnˈfɔrsmənt wɑz naʊ seɪɪŋ ðət reɪs wɑz nɑt ə ˈfæktər ɪn ðə faɪt.

supporting me. i could not be more thankful to the club and the whole organization. to be in the eye of a big club like is an honor by itself. for them to be interested in me is what you play for, and an opportunity that i have to take.” fernandez, one of eight homegrown players on’s squad, signed with real salt lake in 2012. he has yet to make a appearance over six seasons with. his contract was set to expire at the end of this season. “i want to thank general manager] craig waibel, [vp of soccer administration] rob zarkos, [assistant gm] elliot fall and [owner] dell loy hansen for the way they handled the negotiation to help make this a smooth transition,” fernandez said in the release. ”it’s so important to know that they are looking out for the best interests of the players.” the guadalajara native has played on the youth level for both the u.s. and mexican national teams. tigres signed fernandez after enrique palos miguel ortega both suffered injuries last week. injury update

low poly is a great art style for games. it can look great and doesn't require a lot of details. here's how i create low poly building art in photoshop. usually software is usually used to create low poly assets, but for games, we can get away with simply creating them in photoshop. note: this article assumes you have a working knowledge of photoshop in pocket city, all the low poly building assets were created in photoshop. here's the workflow that i use to quickly create pseudo buildings. 1. create a simple object pallet make simple shapes using plain photoshop shapes in greyscale. this file will act as your "pallet" that you will select and copy shapes from. keep everything on a single layer so that selecting and copying is fast. example of how to create a object screenshot: my object pallet: 2. use your objects to construct your model in a new file, copy and shapes you need from your "pallet" and move them around to create the object you need. you can modify your simple shapes by selecting and nudging them. keep the simple shapes on different layers. screenshot: combining primitive shapes combining primitive shapes screenshot: various for organizing objects 3. apply color to shapes with color overlay double click on the layer to open blending options on the simple shape you want to color. enable color overlay and select a color to apply. i found that the linear light blend mode works best (though it needs darker colors to be selected). final result: along with some additional detailing, shadows, etc, we have an asset ready for the game! after some practice, this workflow allows me to quickly cut and paste together various buildings for pocket city. screenshot: various buildings in game created using this approach: important tips:	loʊ ˈpɑli ɪz ə greɪt ɑrt staɪl fər geɪmz. ɪt kən lʊk greɪt ənd ˈdəzənt ˌrikˈwaɪər ə lɔt əv ˈditeɪlz. hɪrz haʊ aɪ kriˈeɪt loʊ ˈpɑli ˈbɪldɪŋ ɑrt ɪn ˈfoʊˌtoʊˌʃɑp. ˈjuʒəwəli ˈsɔfˌwɛr ɪz ˈjuʒəwəli juzd tɪ kriˈeɪt loʊ ˈpɑli ˈæˌsɛts, bət fər geɪmz, wi kən gɪt əˈweɪ wɪθ ˈsɪmpli kriˈeɪtɪŋ ðɛm ɪn ˈfoʊˌtoʊˌʃɑp. noʊt: ðɪs ˈɑrtɪkəl əˈsumz ju hæv ə ˈwərkɪŋ ˈnɑlɪʤ əv ˈfoʊˌtoʊˌʃɑp ɪn ˈpɑkət ˈsɪti, ɔl ðə loʊ ˈpɑli ˈbɪldɪŋ ˈæˌsɛts wər kriˈeɪtɪd ɪn ˈfoʊˌtoʊˌʃɑp. hɪrz ðə ˈwərkˌfloʊ ðət aɪ juz tɪ kˈwɪkli kriˈeɪt ˈsudoʊ ˈbɪldɪŋz. 1 kriˈeɪt ə ˈsɪmpəl ˈɑbʤɛkt ˈpælət meɪk ˈsɪmpəl ʃeɪps ˈjuzɪŋ pleɪn ˈfoʊˌtoʊˌʃɑp ʃeɪps ɪn greyscale. ðɪs faɪl wɪl ækt ɛz jʊr "ˈpælət" ðət ju wɪl səˈlɛkt ənd ˈkɑpi ʃeɪps frəm. kip ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ ɔn ə ˈsɪŋgəl leɪər soʊ ðət səˈlɛktɪŋ ənd ˈkɑpiɪŋ ɪz fæst. ɪgˈzæmpəl əv haʊ tɪ kriˈeɪt ə ˈɑbʤɛkt screenshot: maɪ ˈɑbʤɛkt ˈpælət: 2 juz jʊr ˈɑbʤɛkts tɪ ˈkɑnstrəkt jʊr ˈmɑdəl ɪn ə nu faɪl, ˈkɑpi ənd ʃeɪps ju nid frəm jʊr "ˈpælət" ənd muv ðɛm əraʊnd tɪ kriˈeɪt ðə ˈɑbʤɛkt ju nid. ju kən ˈmɑdəˌfaɪ jʊr ˈsɪmpəl ʃeɪps baɪ səˈlɛktɪŋ ənd ˈnəʤɪŋ ðɛm. kip ðə ˈsɪmpəl ʃeɪps ɔn ˈdɪfərənt leɪərz. screenshot: kəmˈbaɪnɪŋ ˈprɪmɪtɪv ʃeɪps kəmˈbaɪnɪŋ ˈprɪmɪtɪv ʃeɪps screenshot: ˈvɛriəs fər ˈɔrgəˌnaɪzɪŋ ˈɑbʤɛkts 3 əˈplaɪ ˈkələr tɪ ʃeɪps wɪθ ˈkələr ˈoʊvərˌleɪ ˈdəbəl klɪk ɔn ðə leɪər tɪ ˈoʊpən ˈblɛndɪŋ ˈɔpʃənz ɔn ðə ˈsɪmpəl ʃeɪp ju wɔnt tɪ ˈkələr. ɪˈneɪbəl ˈkələr ˈoʊvərˌleɪ ənd səˈlɛkt ə ˈkələr tɪ əˈplaɪ. aɪ faʊnd ðət ðə ˈlɪniər laɪt blɛnd moʊd wərks bɛst (ðoʊ ɪt nidz ˈdɑrkər ˈkələrz tɪ bi səˈlɛktɪd). ˈfaɪnəl rɪˈzəlt: əˈlɔŋ wɪθ səm əˈdɪʃənəl dɪˈteɪlɪŋ, ˈʃæˌdoʊz, ˌɛtˈsɛtərə, wi hæv ən ˈæˌsɛt ˈrɛdi fər ðə geɪm! ˈæftər səm ˈpræktɪs, ðɪs ˈwərkˌfloʊ əˈlaʊz mi tɪ kˈwɪkli kət ənd peɪst təˈgɛðər ˈvɛriəs ˈbɪldɪŋz fər ˈpɑkət ˈsɪti. screenshot*: ˈvɛriəs ˈbɪldɪŋz ɪn geɪm kriˈeɪtɪd ˈjuzɪŋ ðɪs əˈproʊʧ: ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt tɪps:
when sean hannity fanning the flames of a uranium conspiracy, he likes to brag about “let there be light,” a new movie he executive-produced, and in which he makes a sizable cameo. “i’d say 98 percent of people who watch it cry,” he told the washington times, as if the mission is to harvest our tears. i tried to offer mine, but it easy. though studio is in new york, and though most of “let there be light” is set here, the city is, to him, a liberal babylon. until today, when the film arrived at a single theatre in flushing, it was nowhere in the five boroughs; new yorkers who wanted to see the light had to go to new jersey. i drove there one recent night, sat through the hundred and one minutes, and returned, dry-eyed, into the darkness. “let there be light” is a “faith-based film,” a euphemism that makes it sound as if the director worked under divine guidance, yelling “action” and “cut” as the spirit moved him. in this case, that director is kevin sorbo, of “hercules” fame, and the film made is a cynical, xenophobic morality tale, as bitter as it is saccharine. sorbo stars, too, as sol harkens, “the most famous atheist,” on his own legendary journey toward christ. in the mold of richard so popular that even his doctor wants a selfie with preaches the gospel of the godless. we meet him before a packed auditorium, his blazer collar popped, against a meek clergyman and cheering “for sex, drugs, and rock and roll!” his religious credo is “party on”; at the swish launch party for his latest book, “aborting god,” the specialty cocktail is the harkens hedonist. harkens has a ph.d. in something or other, but his argument against god is more personal than philosophical: his son, davey, died of cancer, and sol see how a benevolent creator would permit such suffering. his grief has made him a sad sack. he champagne and puns, wincingly, on “killing the pain.” after the party, driving his black with a bottle of liquor in his lap, he receives a call from his agent, foppish, man who is, made clear, heterosexual, even if he loves to call everyone “darling.” distracted by the call, car promptly collides with a wall. he awakens in a twinkling vortex of wind chimes and soft light, in memories of davey. lo and behold, there the boy is, and white. “daddy, let there be light,” he says. then he says it again. then he says it a third time, because this is the title of the film. harkens, it turns out, has been clinically dead for four minutes, a fact somehow leaked to the press by the time he comes to in a hospital bed. like most people in violent accidents, discharged at once and walks off without so much as a limp, confronting the swarm of reporters breached hospital security. as seemingly closeted christians, less concerned with his body than his soul: “did you see the tunnel of light?” alone in his apartment with a colorful andy portrait of himself, sol guzzles vodka, pops pills, and spends the whole paper balls at his trashcan. after a panic attack sends him back to the hospital, he confesses his vision to his ex-wife, katy, a devout christian who lives in the suburbs, as the devout must. she prevails on him to see a real professional: her pastor. when we first lay eyes on pastor vinny, painting a picket never guess which color. a formerly “mobbed-up” “street guy,” vinny approaches the mystery of christ as a homicide detective might: the body? “i buy into things too easy,” he tells a sol. “jesus gets whacked, right? . . . they stick his body in a tomb, they seal it up tighter than a cement drum. what happens next? bada-bing! the body disappears.” harkens, a man of the world, knows a good thing when he sees it, so why putter around? after one talk with vinny, ready for baptism. soon enough making amends with by real-life wife, sam, who wrote the their two sons, played by the children. life is all cookies and lemonade—really, both in one scene—until, in a particularly gutless plot twist, katy collapses in a seizure, causing the third medical emergency. an oncologist, inexplicably portrayed by the country singer travis tritt, diagnoses her with brain cancer, a veritable death sentence. “god’s not going to let this happen again, will he?” one of the children asks. he will, but before he does, katy wants to remarry sol and unveil the let there be light app, which will invite users to shine their flashlights up to heaven on christmas eve, creating “a band of light” like “a selfie for god.” problem is, no one wants to promote is persona non grata among members of the christian press, who fear that his conversion is a stunt. well, there is one guy interested. publicist receives a call during sol and wedding. “change of honeymoon plans,” she tells them while still standing at the altar. “you two are doing ‘sean hannity’ tomorrow! fourteen million listeners. three million viewers! radio and television, baby . . . you buy that kind of publicity.” except that hannity just did, for himself. soon enough, there he is, his lapel pin firmly in place, sitting in a conference room that touts fox “fair and balanced” motto, even though the network dropped it in june. “you’re literally going to try and convert kids to christianity,” hannity tells the harkenses. “what about diversity? what right do you have to impose your religious values onto somebody else?” “well, what right does isis have to cut heads off?” harkens retorts. “that’s a powerful point,” hannity says. it must be noted that “let there be light” is full of such grim non sequiturs. the threat of radical islam is the dark spectre behind tale of american evangelicalism, the only global problem of any magnitude in the perspective. an opening montage lingers on the twin towers and the memorial. sol, in high atheist dudgeon, equates the god of christianity to the god of isis, prompting norm, his agent, to propose making t-shirts that say “isis = church.” later, katy dreams of proselytizing life “with as much vigor as isis death.” even pastor vinny frets that “people are getting whacked like it was the middle ages.” in the final minutes, this ambient isis anxiety with the maudlin conversion storyline in a of bald islamophobia. on christmas eve, as katy, at home, is quietly dying in arms, show devotes a three-hour special to the let there be light app, interviewing a young woman who helped develop it. born in pakistan, she says she was forced into marriage, beaten by her husband and her father, and threatened with death; jesus saved her life. as katy embraces the white light of death, iphone flashlights ignite the sky, and the children sing “silent night.” roll credits. hannity has called this a film for the “entire family,” and true that the concept of good and evil is as narrow as that of a tale. but its studious look like heck,” katy says to sol at one survive its aura of moral panic and fearful prejudice. that hannity would underwrite a vehicle for the culture wars can hardly come as a why this vehicle, and why now?

harry has revealed how he spent four hours in a paris airport hotel trying in vain to persuade eden hazard to become his player just a few weeks before he eventually joined chelsea for million. tottenham had identified hazard as one of their principal transfer targets for the summer transfer window in 2012 and, with the club seemingly heading for the champions league in place of chelsea, felt that a deal was feasible. “i think he was dead keen to come at that time,” he said of the player who was then with lille. “joe cole said he thought he was the best player he ever played with. a fantastic talent and a great player. we pushed on for him. we just get it over the line.” redknapp will face hazard with queens park rangers on saturday and know that two factors ultimately conspired against him. the first was tottenham slipping from third to fourth in the premier league, thus failing to guarantee their place in the champions league. the second was chelsea winning the champions league to take the fourth and final qualification spot from tottenham, despite finishing sixth in the league. hazard had been excited by the possibility of playing with gareth bale at tottenham but his mind was made up once chelsea became european champions. redknapp tells the tale to illustrate just how difficult it is to compete for the top players with clubs such as chelsea and is adamant that keeping in the premier league this season is a tougher challenge than jose winning the title. “every year i look at the awards and, when i see the people who win it at the big clubs, i think it should be given to a tony or a steve bruce,” said. “it’s too easy to vote for one of the teams that have got everything. chelsea have got such a strong team not a weakness there. “they’ve got power and great ability in a player like costa. you have to be a clever man to buy the. anyone got a television and has watched spanish football knew they were signing the best in europe in diego costa. he was the biggest certainty ever seen. you have to be a genius, you just have to have the million he cost.” although feels that british managers do not get the same opportunities with what he calls the “great teams”, he has no doubts about the pedigree of and believes the ‘special one’ could go down as the greatest manager in history. “he’s proved that a fantastic manager wherever he has been,” said. “he’s going to be in the game for many years to come and he could end up as the greatest manager of all time [but] he is not going to walk into a team in the bottom four or five at the moment and turn them into a team. not going to happen, as clever as he might be and he is very clever. “he’s got a charisma and a great knowledge of the game. i fault him. he can do what fergie did at manchester united. if he wanted to stay at chelsea for the next 15 years he could do it. only going to be successful there.”	ˈhɛri həz rɪˈvild haʊ hi spɛnt fɔr aʊərz ɪn ə ˈpɛrɪs ˈɛrˌpɔrt hoʊˈtɛl

terentia among flower buds \| photo: aaron pomerantz / rainforest expeditions this story starts as so many stories do: a scientist trudged through a rainforest and stopped to inspect a plant. "huh, that's weird," said aaron pomerantz, to no one in particular. the entomologist took a step closer to inspect the specimen. he found himself looking at hundreds of tiny yellow bulbs protruding out of a tree trunk. at first he thought the bulbs were part of a fungus growing on the planet, or maybe some sort of strange fruit. he didn't think much of it until a closer look revealed caterpillars, happily munching away on the yellow knobs. an even closer look showed that ants accompanied the caterpillars. it's not really that unusual to find caterpillars and ants spending time together in the tropics. the symbiotic relationship between the two even has a name. "mymecophily" literally means that the caterpillars are "ant loving." ants really like sugar, and that's something that many tropical plants have evolved to exploit. they offer up small growths called nectaries, supplies of nutrients outside of flowers, to the ants. the ants slurp up the sugary nectar and in exchange, they keep parasites and predators at bay. it's a win-win situation. caterpillar, ant, and flower buds \| photo: aaron pomerantz / jeff cremer caterpillars in the family have come up with a similar strategy. they evolved something called a dorsal organ. the ants drum on the caterpillars' backs, and the caterpillars release a concoction of sugars and amino acids for the ants to sip. in return, the ants act as caterpillar bodyguards. "while i had little idea at the time what i was looking at, my background in entomology was telling me one thing. this was something cool," pomerantz says. that's when he noticed something fluttering in the corner of his eye. "i could immediately identify it as a and it had a distinct yellow spot on its hind wing that looked remarkably like the yellow bulbs," he wrote in a blog post about the discovery. "was this the adult of the caterpillars?" what pomerantz had was the makings of a scientific mystery. what were these strange yellow plants? were the caterpillars related to the adult butterfly he saw? did the adult evolve a wing pattern to match the plant? and how do the ants fit in to the puzzle? thanks to contacts back in the states, pomerantz learned that the yellow projections were not fruits or fungi. they were instead flower buds of a rare parasitic plant, possibly one called caseariae. the parasite lives inside of the tree, but every year around october its yellow flowers break through the bark and bask in the jungle air where they become food for hungry caterpillars. by january the buds fall off, leaving the tree pockmarked with holes, as if several hundred woodpeckers had found their way to peru. pomerantz says that his observations, conducted through his work as a biologist and science communicator for a peruvian company called rainforest expeditions, "appear to be the first record of an insect utilizing as a host plant." the butterfly meanwhile turned out to be a critter first described nearly 150 years ago in 1868: a called terentia, or the terentia. the amazon rainforest is home to roughly one in every ten species found on our planet, and new ones are being discovered all the time. according to a survey, 441 new species there were described by scientists between 2010 and 2013, including 258 plants, 84 fish, 58 amphibians, 22 reptiles, 18 birds, and one mammal. that's nearly three every week. but describing a species is not the same as really understanding it. knowing what a particular plant or animal looks like is far different from knowing how it lives its life. the terentia may have been described a century and a half ago, but until now nobody knew much about its life cycle. where does it lay its eggs? how do the caterpillars survive? how might the butterflies' coloration have evolved? pomerantz documents the ecological relationship \| photo: rainforest expeditions "by observing its behavior in the wild, we have insight into why the butterfly has this striking yellow wing spot and can start to delve deeper into why it uses this host plant, how it finds it, what purpose the yellow spot serves, and so on," pomerantz says. "describing a new species is just the first step. picking apart its life and behavior is far more interesting." by doing so, pomerantz has uncovered a in the jungle, a complex relationship between two plants and two insects, four species that appear to have evolved alongside each other for a very, very long time. the truth is that anybody can make an exciting discovery like this one if they keep their eyes open. and he should know: unlike many folks making new scientific discoveries, pomerantz isn't a doctor. he received his master's degree in entomology and molecular biology in 2014 from the university of florida. "there are still so many discoveries people can make just by observing organisms in nature, no matter what your educational background or where you are," he says. and as angelenos know well, you don't have to be in the tropics to do it. after all, a band of citizen scientists in la helped researchers last year discover more than thirty new species of flies in their very own backyards.	tərˈɛnʃə əˈməŋ flaʊər bədz ˈfoʊˌtoʊ: ˈɛrən ˈpɑmərˌænts ˈraɪnˌfɔrəst ˌɛkspəˈdɪʃənz ðɪs ˈstɔri stɑrts ɛz soʊ ˈmɛni ˈstɔriz du: ə ˈsaɪəntɪst trəʤd θru ə ˈraɪnˌfɔrəst ənd stɑpt tɪ ˌɪnˈspɛkt ə plænt.

(reuters photo: jonathan ernst) he and kerry worked with tehran to excuse and ‘exempt’ its flouting of its commitments. iran “has fully implemented its required commitments.” that was the representation obama secretary of state john kerry made to the american people in announcing on january 16 “implementation day” of president iran nuclear deal (aka, the joint comprehensive plan of action, or) that international economic sanctions were consequently being lifted against iran. advertisement secretary kerry added that “iran has undertaken significant steps that many, and i do mean many, people doubted would ever come to pass.” still, kerry promised, the obama administration would continue watching the mullahs like a hawk, thus “assuring continued full compliance” with the commitments. the same day, president obama signed an executive order lifting a number of u.s. economic sanctions against iran. we now know he also set in motion a furtive $400 million cash transfer to the regime as a ransom (which the administration calls “leverage”) for the release of four american hostages the first installment of a carefully structured $1.7 billion side payment to iran (ostensibly in settlement of a failed arms deal), details about which the administration continues to withhold from congress and the public. all of this was based on this purported “full implementation” of “required commitments” under the touted by obama and kerry. and all of it was a deliberate, audacious, elaborately plotted lie. advertisement the institute for science and international security (hereafter, the institute) reported on thursday that iran was not in full compliance with its commitments on implementation day, as was required we were led to believe before iran was to get sanctions relief. more, the obama administration not only well knew that iran was not in compliance; it also colluded with iran, through the secretive device known as the “joint commission,” in order to exempt multiple violations from compliance requirements. advertisement got it? as obama and kerry were telling you that iran had “fully implemented its required commitments,” and that the administration would continue working energetically to ensure future continued “full compliance” with those commitments, obama and kerry were working with iran to excuse its flouting of its commitments and, it turns out, to lay the groundwork for future “exemptions” from compliance. the report outlines violations in connection with commitment to a cap of 300 kilograms of uranium (leu) and with some of the percent leu that iran was allowed to keep, as well as with the cap and large “hot cells” that iran was also permitted to retain. it was known to the administration, in advance of implementation day, that these violations meant that nuclear stocks and facilities would not be in compliance. but obama feared calling iran on its violations. that would have put pressure on him to deny sanctions relief, which would in turn have induced the jihadist regime to pull out of the. so, to bury the mockery the mullahs were making of his signature “achievement,” obama turned to the-created farce known as the “joint commission,” a body composed of representatives of the six parties, whose machinations are shrouded in secrecy. there really are no commitments when transgressions are agreed on and forgiven in advance lest iran walk away. not an agreement. an extortion racket. with iran certain to be in violation, the institute explains, the joint commission convened and quietly exempted the regime from its commitments. kerry and obama then went out and told americans and the world that iran had met its commitments. it appears that this was yet another secret side arrangement that congress has been kept in the dark about. advertisement the conspiracy to depict a fraudulent “agreement” while ensuring that iran gets the benefits without performing its obligations has been evident for months. as fred of the center for security policy reported here at national review back in march, the administration furtively acceded to demand that the international atomic energy agency would no longer provide broad reporting on nuclear program. the explanation? thanks to the magnificent and purported compliance with it, exacting scrutiny was no longer necessary. it would be sufficient, the claimed, simply to monitor compliance with the terms. advertisement if you feel like your intelligence has been insulted, it has: the knew, when it made this claim, that non-compliance with the was being “exempted” by the obama administration. but what we now know goes a long way toward explaining a curious development that fred highlighted in his march report: the’s omission of critical data in its compliance reports. this rendered it impossible for independent experts to assess whether iran was truly keeping its commitments and deserving of sanctions relief, as the obama administration publicly insisted it was. advertisement the reports were being kept vague because the representations, to repeat, were audacious lies. advertisement but not all. as the invaluable analyst from the report, obama is in discussions with other parties to make the exemptions granted to iran permanent in other words, to let iran rewrite the agreement so that its violations are no longer violations but entitlements. not just that: obama is also planning yet more exemptions, in anticipation of yet more iranian violations. all the while, of course, the president and his secretary of state will keep telling us iran is keeping its commitments. and why they? after all, there really are no commitments when transgressions are agreed on and forgiven in advance lest iran walk away. not an agreement. an extortion racket. to summarize, under the, iran gets paid, gets to keep materially supporting terrorism, gets to build its nuclear program, gets to develop ballistic missiles in anticipation of loading nuclear payloads, gets to narrow the “breakout” time necessary to convert to the uranium that obama is helping them enrich, and gets to run roughshod over any terms it finds too inconvenient. what does the united states get?

by rana israel has launched yet another campaign against the palestinian people. this time its excuse is the kidnapping of three teenage “boys”. israel is using this incident to once again collectively punish my people. according to international law, collective punishment is a crime. israel worries about these children of illegal colonizers who threw my people off of our land, but what about the thousands of palestinians, including young children, who have been abducted by israeli soldiers and thrown into israeli jails without charge? what are our children guilty of to be imprisoned and trapped in cages? did they fire rockets into israel in reaction to the many times more rockets israel fires at our homes and lands? lest we forget you must not forget these crimes, nor should you forget bloody massacres of my people. my people suffer behind walls and the rest of the world remains ignorant and silent. thousands of palestinian children have been tortured in israeli prisons. no one knows the pain we live with. what proof is there that we really kidnapped the “boys”? and if palestinians did kidnap these jewish boys, they would have done so as a result of the atrocities they and their families have been subjected to throughout their entire lives. we are deprived even of our sleep, and the only thing the powers that oppress us expect us to do is to remain ignorant. beginning over 45 years ago, israel began building settlements in order to prove its claim to all of our land, which it stole by virtue of its greater strength and cunning. it build new settlements and continues to expand existing ones. klibi, former of the arab league, outlines three basic objectives of expansionism: the annexation of more arab lands, including the displacement of the inhabitants, which lead to demographic changes that increase the jewish population; expropriation of palestinian property and the necessary and continuous repression required to prevent the palestinians from keeping what is rightfully theirs. the preemption of any attempt by the palestinian people to affirm their human rights, among which is the right of self-determination in their own land. thus, the original and long term objective of proliferating and expanding settlements is to eliminate the palestinian people and their recognized national rights from the political map. to use the settlements issue to foil any political solution that concede full israeli sovereignty over occupied palestinian territory. israel is saying, in effect, that it will accept nothing less than surrender, even though it insists on calling this surrender “peace”. dear reader, do you know what it means to be a palestinian? it means you are not able to move here or there, and that you have few of the basic requirements needed to live a decent life. we are deprived even of our sleep, and the only thing the powers that oppress us expect us to do is to remain ignorant. as palestinians, curses follow us everywhere we go. for example, last year i went to cairo to be interviewed for my visa. i did the interview very well but the officer smiled at me and said: “rana, sorry, but we issue your visa to the us.” i asked why? his only answer was “because you are palestinian”. my american friend spent on the visa application, travel expenses to and from cairo, and three days of food and lodging for my mother and me. the us, which assists israel in making life difficult for us, made us go through an expensive and process that it knew all along would result in rejection. hear no evil, see no evil how much longer will the world stay deaf? is our blood free of charge? what crimes have our children committed that they are forced to live in hell? we are human beings, not aliens. we are exactly like you. regardless of colour, sex, nationality or religion, we just want to live like you in peace and under good conditions. imagine sleeping when, suddenly, you are awakened in the middle of the night to the sounds of rockets and warplanes, and children screaming. imagine sleeping when, suddenly, you are awakened in the middle of the night to the sounds of rockets and warplanes, and children screaming. tell me, how would you deal with this situation? what would you tell your child if he came to you crying and shouting because of the bombing? last night, unable to sleep, my brother said to me: “rana, i put the bicycle on the door of the balcony because of the strong explosion i heard.” when he told me this, i felt helples, knowing i could not do anything to stop the bombing. israeli forces shoot gas bombs on my people. israel practices repression as a major cornerstone of its policy in our occupied land. raise your voices and stand by the truth, no matter how much it costs. our children want the same freedom you have. they want their human rights. all the world should know what life is like here in gaza. only justice will heal the wounds of my people. *rana is a college student from the gaza strip	baɪ ˈrænə ˈɪzriəl həz lɔnʧt jɛt əˈnəðər kæmˈpeɪn əˈgɛnst ðə ˌpælɪˈstɪniən ˈpipəl. ðɪs taɪm ɪts ɪkˈskjuz ɪz ðə ˈkɪdˌnæpɪŋ əv θri ˈtiˌneɪʤ ““boys””. ˈɪzriəl ɪz ˈjuzɪŋ ðɪs ˈɪnsədənt tɪ wəns əˈgɛn kəˈlɛktɪvli ˈpənɪʃ maɪ ˈpipəl. əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl lɔ, kəˈlɛktɪv ˈpənɪʃmənt ɪz ə kraɪm. ˈɪzriəl ˈwəriz əˈbaʊt ðiz ˈʧɪldrən əv ˌɪˈligəl ˈkɑləˌnaɪzərz hu θru maɪ ˈpipəl ɔf əv ɑr lænd, bət wət əˈbaʊt ðə ˈθaʊzənz əv ˌpælɪˈstɪniənz, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ jəŋ ˈʧɪldrən, hu hæv bɪn əbˈdəktɪd baɪ ˌɪzˈreɪli ˈsoʊlʤərz ənd θroʊn ˈɪntu ˌɪzˈreɪli ʤeɪlz wɪˈθaʊt ʧɑrʤ?

china is becoming attractive to global talent on an unprecedented level due to the economic size and vibrancy, according to a report released on saturday by us business magazine forbes. the 2018 global talent mobility and wealth management report predicts the country will be a major exchange hub for global talent flow by 2022. advertisement “by that time, china will be not only the largest export country of students studying abroad, but also a major destination for global talent to settle down,” said russell flannery, shanghai bureau chief of forbes china. no country in history has met both criteria, he said, adding that although india used to have the largest number of students overseas, it has not been attractive enough to global talent, such as people from the united states. “china’s role as a hub in global talent mobility will further consolidate and it will help the country to integrate its educational resources globally. meanwhile, it will provide more competitive job opportunities for overseas talent,” flannery said. it is the third year in a row the report has been released by forbes and overseas consulting group, a investment and immigration company. kenneth jarrett, president of the american chamber of commerce in shanghai, said he has witnessed a growing number of us workers coming to china over the past few years, as well as more chinese students returning to china to set up their own businesses. to him, this indicates increasing participation in the global economy. the chinese government has also attached greater importance to global talent, especially since the organization department of the communist party of china central committee introduced the recruitment program of global experts in late 2008. by the end of last year, the country had attracted more than high-level overseas workers under the program. at the same time, the return of chinese talent who studied or worked overseas has been noticeably increasing. experts in the science and technology sector have made up the majority of returned talent, prompted by the policies and rising domestic companies, according to the forbes report. advertisement “while other countries are tightening their immigration policies, china should seize the opportunity to come up with more open and friendly talent policies to attract world-class talent, said wang huiyao, founder of the think tank center for china and globalization. read next latest stories most read	ˈʧaɪnə ɪz bɪˈkəmɪŋ əˈtræktɪv tɪ ˈgloʊbəl ˈtælənt ɔn ən ənˈprɛsɪˌdɛntɪd ˈlɛvəl du tɪ ðə ˌɛkəˈnɑmɪk saɪz ənd ˈvaɪbrənsi, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ə rɪˈpɔrt riˈlist ɔn ˈsæˌtɪˌdeɪ baɪ ˈjuˈɛs ˈbɪznɪs ˈmægəˌzin fɔrbz. ðə 2018 ˈgloʊbəl ˈtælənt moʊˈbɪlɪti ənd wɛlθ ˈmænɪʤmənt rɪˈpɔrt prɪˈdɪkts ðə ˈkəntri wɪl bi ə ˈmeɪʤər ɪksˈʧeɪnʤ həb fər ˈgloʊbəl ˈtælənt floʊ baɪ 2022 ˌædvərˈtaɪzmənt ðət taɪm, ˈʧaɪnə wɪl bi nɑt ˈoʊnli ðə ˈlɑrʤəst ˈɛkspɔrt ˈkəntri əv ˈstudənts ˈstədiɪŋ əˈbrɔd, bət ˈɔlsoʊ ə ˈmeɪʤər ˌdɛstɪˈneɪʃən fər ˈgloʊbəl ˈtælənt tɪ ˈsɛtəl down,”,” sɛd ˈrəsəl ˈflænəri, ˈʃæŋˈhaɪ ˈbjʊroʊ ʧif əv fɔrbz ˈʧaɪnə. noʊ ˈkəntri ɪn ˈhɪstəri həz mɛt boʊθ kraɪˈtɪriə, hi sɛd, ˈædɪŋ ðət ˌɔlˈðoʊ ˈɪndiə juzd tɪ hæv ðə ˈlɑrʤəst ˈnəmbər əv ˈstudənts ˈoʊvərˈsiz, ɪt həz nɑt bɪn əˈtræktɪv ɪˈnəf tɪ ˈgloʊbəl ˈtælənt, səʧ ɛz ˈpipəl frəm ðə juˈnaɪtɪd steɪts. roʊl ɛz ə həb ɪn ˈgloʊbəl ˈtælənt moʊˈbɪlɪti wɪl ˈfərðər kənˈsɑlɪˌdeɪt ənd ɪt wɪl hɛlp ðə ˈkəntri tɪ ˈɪnəˌgreɪt ɪts ˌɛʤəˈkeɪʃənəl ˈrisɔrsɪz ˈgloʊbəli. ˈminˌwaɪl, ɪt wɪl prəˈvaɪd mɔr kəmˈpɛtɪtɪv ʤɑb ˌɑpərˈtunətiz fər ˈoʊvərˈsiz talent,”,” ˈflænəri sɛd. ɪt ɪz ðə θərd jɪr ɪn ə roʊ ðə rɪˈpɔrt həz bɪn riˈlist baɪ fɔrbz ənd ˈoʊvərˈsiz kənˈsəltɪŋ grup, ə ˌɪnˈvɛstmənt ənd ˌɪməˈgreɪʃən ˈkəmpəˌni. ˈkɛnɪθ ˈʤɛrət, ˈprɛzɪdənt əv ðə əˈmɛrɪkən ˈʧeɪmbər əv ˈkɑmərs ɪn ˈʃæŋˈhaɪ, sɛd hi həz ˈwɪtnəst ə groʊɪŋ ˈnəmbər əv ˈjuˈɛs ˈwərkərz ˈkəmɪŋ tɪ ˈʧaɪnə ˈoʊvər ðə pæst fju jɪrz, ɛz wɛl ɛz mɔr ʧaɪˈniz ˈstudənts rɪˈtərnɪŋ tɪ ˈʧaɪnə tɪ sɛt əp ðɛr oʊn ˈbɪznɪsɪz. tɪ ɪm, ðɪs ˈɪndɪˌkeɪts ˌɪnˈkrisɪŋ pɑrˌtɪsəˈpeɪʃən ɪn ðə ˈgloʊbəl ɪˈkɑnəmi. ðə ʧaɪˈniz ˈgəvərnmənt həz ˈɔlsoʊ əˈtæʧt ˈgreɪtər ˌɪmˈpɔrtəns tɪ ˈgloʊbəl ˈtælənt, əˈspɛʃəli sɪns ðə ˌɔrgənəˈzeɪʃən dɪˈpɑrtmənt əv ðə ˈkɑmjənəst ˈpɑrti əv ˈʧaɪnə ˈsɛntrəl kəˈmɪti ˌɪntrəˈdust ðə rɪˈkrutmənt ˈproʊˌgræm əv ˈgloʊbəl ˈɛkspərts ɪn leɪt 2008 baɪ ðə ɛnd əv læst jɪr, ðə ˈkəntri hæd əˈtræktəd mɔr ðən ˌhaɪˈlɛvəl ˈoʊvərˈsiz ˈwərkərz ˈəndər ðə ˈproʊˌgræm. æt ðə seɪm taɪm, ðə rɪˈtərn əv ʧaɪˈniz ˈtælənt hu ˈstədid ər wərkt ˈoʊvərˈsiz həz bɪn ˈnoʊtɪsəbli ˌɪnˈkrisɪŋ. ˈɛkspərts ɪn ðə saɪəns ənd tɛkˈnɑləʤi ˈsɛktər hæv meɪd əp ðə məˈʤɔrəti əv rɪˈtərnd ˈtælənt, ˈprɑmptɪd baɪ ðə ˈpɑləsiz ənd ˈraɪzɪŋ dəˈmɛstɪk ˈkəmpəˌniz, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ðə fɔrbz rɪˈpɔrt. ˌædvərˈtaɪzmənt ˈəðər ˈkəntriz ər ˈtaɪtənɪŋ ðɛr ˌɪməˈgreɪʃən ˈpɑləsiz, ˈʧaɪnə ʃʊd siz ðə ˌɑpərˈtunəti tɪ kəm əp wɪθ mɔr ˈoʊpən ənd ˈfrɛndli ˈtælənt ˈpɑləsiz tɪ əˈtrækt ˈwərldˌklæs ˈtælənt, sɛd wæŋ huiyao*, ˈfaʊndər əv ðə θɪŋk tæŋk ˈsɛnər fər ˈʧaɪnə ənd ˌgloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən. rɛd nɛkst ˈleɪtəst ˈstɔriz moʊst rɛd
effective thai i want to share with you a list of a very effective thai. i have listed basic combinations for beginners and more powerful combinations for advanced fighters. i have picked them while training and sparring in the and in thailand. i want to share with you those that i have found the most useful. some that feels natural to me may not suit you. that's normal. try them out and then you'll know which one feels natural to you. there's no point of perfecting a combo that you are not 100% sure about. you won't be able to rely on it in a real fight. find your strong and weak points and use that works well for you. it cannot be forced, it must come natural to deliver a sequence of strikes. ideally, you should perfect that utilize your most powerful strikes - be it a head kick, a hook or a knee strike and not making yourself too vulnerable to counter attacks at the same time. keep it simple, keep it real. start with a basic thai: in most combinations first few punches are meant to open your opponent's guard for further strikes: jab+jab+cross jab+cross+hook cross+left jab+jab+cross+left knee since modern thai punches are based on western boxing strikes most of the combinations start with a simple combo which may be a little predictable. that's why you should try more tricky moves from time to time: left inside leg kick (switch hook jab+right inside leg kick jab+right jab+cross+right leg kick jab+cross+left leg body and now my special move. i call this one an ex-girlfriend cause it's really nasty: left elbow it is very useful for shortening of the distance between you and your opponent and getting into a clinch. for more basic thai check basic thai combinations let's move to more advanced thai combinations: jab+cross+left kick left inside leg+left kick jab+rcross+left jab+cross+left roundhouse knee it is not a problem if you cannot memorize all of them at once. just write them down and stick it to the wall at your gym right behind a heavy bag. next time when you start your bag routine perform them one after another and pick the most useful ones to practice with your sparring partner. i hope you have found it useful. let me know what you think and share a list of your favorite combinations in the comments below. also, check a post about how to choose a proper› thai	ˈifɛktɪv taɪ aɪ wɔnt tɪ ʃɛr wɪθ ju ə lɪst əv ə ˈvɛri ˈifɛktɪv taɪ. aɪ hæv ˈlɪstɪd ˈbeɪsɪk ˌkɑmbəˈneɪʃənz fər bɪˈgɪnərz ənd mɔr ˈpaʊərfəl ˌkɑmbəˈneɪʃənz fər ədˈvænst ˈfaɪtərz. aɪ hæv pɪkt ðɛm waɪl ˈtreɪnɪŋ ənd ˈspɑrɪŋ ɪn ðə ənd ɪn ˈtaɪˌlænd. aɪ wɔnt tɪ ʃɛr wɪθ ju ðoʊz ðət aɪ hæv faʊnd ðə moʊst ˈjusfəl. səm ðət filz ˈnæʧərəl tɪ mi meɪ nɑt sut ju. ðæts ˈnɔrməl. traɪ ðɛm aʊt ənd ðɛn jul noʊ wɪʧ wən filz ˈnæʧərəl tɪ ju. ðɛrz noʊ pɔɪnt əv pərˈfɛktɪŋ ə ˈkɑmˌboʊ ðət ju ər nɑt 100 ʃʊr əˈbaʊt. ju woʊnt bi ˈeɪbəl tɪ rɪˈlaɪ ɔn ɪt ɪn ə ril faɪt. faɪnd jʊr strɔŋ ənd wik pɔɪnts ənd juz ðət wərks wɛl fər ju. ɪt ˈkænɑt bi fɔrst, ɪt məst kəm ˈnæʧərəl tɪ dɪˈlɪvər ə ˈsikwəns əv straɪks. aɪˈdili, ju ʃʊd ˈpərˌfɪkt ðət ˈjutəˌlaɪz jʊr moʊst ˈpaʊərfəl straɪks bi ɪt ə hɛd kɪk, ə hʊk ər ə ni straɪk ənd nɑt ˈmeɪkɪŋ ˈjɔrsɛlf tu ˈvəlnərəbəl tɪ ˈkaʊntər əˈtæks æt ðə seɪm taɪm. kip ɪt ˈsɪmpəl, kip ɪt ril. stɑrt wɪθ ə ˈbeɪsɪk taɪ: ɪn moʊst ˌkɑmbəˈneɪʃənz fərst fju ˈpənʧɪz ər mɛnt tɪ ˈoʊpən jʊr əˈpoʊnənts gɑrd fər ˈfərðər straɪks: ni sɪns ˈmɑdərn taɪ ˈpənʧɪz ər beɪst ɔn ˈwɛstərn ˈbɑksɪŋ straɪks moʊst əv ðə ˌkɑmbəˈneɪʃənz stɑrt wɪθ ə ˈsɪmpəl ˈkɑmˌboʊ wɪʧ meɪ bi ə ˈlɪtəl prɪˈdɪktəbəl. ðæts waɪ ju ʃʊd traɪ mɔr ˈtrɪki muvz frəm taɪm tɪ taɪm: lɛft ˌɪnˈsaɪd lɛg kɪk (swɪʧ hʊk ˌɪnˈsaɪd lɛg kɪk lɛg kɪk lɛg ˈbɑdi ənd naʊ maɪ ˈspɛʃəl muv. aɪ kɔl ðɪs wən ən ˈɛkzˈgərlˌfrɛnd kɔz ɪts ˈrɪli ˈnæsti: lɛft ˈɛlˌboʊ ɪt ɪz ˈvɛri ˈjusfəl fər ˈʃɔrtənɪŋ əv ðə ˈdɪstəns bɪtˈwin ju ənd jʊr əˈpoʊnənt ənd ˈgɪtɪŋ ˈɪntu ə klɪnʧ. fər mɔr ˈbeɪsɪk taɪ ʧɛk ˈbeɪsɪk taɪ ˌkɑmbəˈneɪʃənz lɛts muv tɪ mɔr ədˈvænst taɪ ˌkɑmbəˈneɪʃənz: kɪk lɛft ˌɪnˈsaɪd lɛg kɪk ˈraʊnˌdhaʊs ni ɪt ɪz nɑt ə ˈprɑbləm ɪf ju ˈkænɑt ˈmɛmərˌaɪz ɔl əv ðɛm æt wəns. ʤɪst raɪt ðɛm daʊn ənd stɪk ɪt tɪ ðə wɔl æt jʊr ʤɪm raɪt bɪˈhaɪnd ə ˈhɛvi bæg. nɛkst taɪm wɪn ju stɑrt jʊr bæg ruˈtin pərˈfɔrm ðɛm wən ˈæftər əˈnəðər ənd pɪk ðə moʊst ˈjusfəl wənz tɪ ˈpræktɪs wɪθ jʊr ˈspɑrɪŋ ˈpɑrtnər. aɪ hoʊp ju hæv faʊnd ɪt ˈjusfəl. lɛt mi noʊ wət ju θɪŋk ənd ʃɛr ə lɪst əv jʊr ˈfeɪvərɪt ˌkɑmbəˈneɪʃənz ɪn ðə ˈkɑmɛnts bɪˈloʊ. ˈɔlsoʊ, ʧɛk ə poʊst əˈbaʊt haʊ tɪ ʧuz ə proper›*› taɪ
while the of this bike seems a bit off, i really know where to put this. alloy wheels with racing slicks, suspension, a massive 1300 engine and an aggressive stance make this bike more look like a serious track weapon than a classic cafe racer. last week published another yamaha cafe racer, which is a completely different bike, based on the same donor. but get over that issue and take a look at this awesome yamaha built by, owner of the thai. regular readers may know from this radical suzuki earlier this year. now took the massive and took it to a fitness training. the bike lost a lot of weight and got nothing but high-end performance parts. unfortunately just some photo’s, i hope to get some more specs soon. luckily i was able to get a short video with the sound of this monster.	waɪl ðə əv ðɪs baɪk simz ə bɪt ɔf, aɪ ˈrɪli noʊ wɛr tɪ pʊt ðɪs. ˈæˌlɔɪ wilz wɪθ ˈreɪsɪŋ slɪks, səˈspɛnʃən, ə ˈmæsɪv 1300 ˈɪnʤən ənd ən əˈgrɛsɪv stæns meɪk ðɪs baɪk mɔr lʊk laɪk ə ˈsɪriəs træk ˈwɛpən ðən ə ˈklæsɪk kəˈfeɪ ˈreɪsər. læst wik ˈpəblɪʃt əˈnəðər ˈjɑmɑˌhɑ kəˈfeɪ ˈreɪsər, wɪʧ ɪz ə kəmˈplitli ˈdɪfərənt baɪk, beɪst ɔn ðə seɪm ˈdoʊnər. bət gɪt ˈoʊvər ðət ˈɪʃu ənd teɪk ə lʊk æt ðɪs ˈɔsəm ˈjɑmɑˌhɑ bɪlt baɪ, ˈoʊnər əv ðə taɪ. ˈrɛgjələr ˈridərz meɪ noʊ frəm ðɪs ˈrædɪkəl səˈzuki ˈərliər ðɪs jɪr. naʊ tʊk ðə ˈmæsɪv ənd tʊk ɪt tɪ ə ˈfɪtnəs ˈtreɪnɪŋ. ðə baɪk lɔst ə lɔt əv weɪt ənd gɑt ˈnəθɪŋ bət haɪɛnd pərˈfɔrməns pɑrts. ənˈfɔrʧənətli ʤɪst səm photo’s*, aɪ hoʊp tɪ gɪt səm mɔr spɛks sun. ˈləkəli aɪ wɑz ˈeɪbəl tɪ gɪt ə ʃɔrt ˈvɪdioʊ wɪθ ðə saʊnd əv ðɪs ˈmɑnstər.

former morgan stanley ceo and chairman john mack discussed how in business today differ from past generations. “to have the ipad or the iphone and to be able to communicate the way they can and get the data and information they have much more aware,” mack said. “they’re much more plugged in with each other. just no doubt about that. so from that that aspect, different.” scroll to continue with content ad but for mack, access to technology the only difference. “by and large, not as driven as my generation,” he continued. “when i was born, it was world war ii. and you came into a world that was rebuilding. it was very different. thank god, basically had peace for a number of years, and people can grow and expand what they want to do and go to different places with a sense of safety.” young adults clearly had a different experience during john day. he continued: “and not have to worry about, ‘am i gonna be pulled into some kinda battle?’ not have to worry about, ‘do i have to make money because got these college loans?’ today, pretty easy to get a scholarship if you have any aptitude in learning. i guarantee get a scholarship.” the retired former bank chief now advises some startups led by. mack was asked for his views on the younger generation by yahoo andy at a speaker series hosted by the new york asian cultural center and ltd. john mack according to mack, the speed that comes with technology can lead to making mistakes. story continues “i grew up in a business that you cross every t and you dot every i,” mack said. “kids today cross ts and dot is. so fast like this. they want to get the product or the idea out there. they go back and check, ‘did i make a mistake or does this open us up to some issue that could hurt them personally or hurt their company?’” he went to use a company led by two “very bright” young men that he advises as an example. “they built a company in the real estate business. and in their company, they take credit card numbers that people can pay some of the real estate calls through credit cards. so talking to them, and i find out they do not have insurance. so insurance basically protects you if someone breaks into your database and takes all this credit card data and accounts. gonna be held liable for it unless you have insurance. so i asked, ‘why you have insurance?’ ‘it’s too expensive,’ [they said]. i said, ‘well, do you understand if someone hacks into your system, be outta business, and be sued, and gonna be in, you know, tremendous water. gotta pay for that now.” he added that if you took that same situation and went back 30 to 35 years ago, that would not have happened. “but i think move very quickly. they have a technology that allows them to expand almost exponentially if they want. but gotta pay attention to details. and that my big concern with in business.” — julia la roche is a finance reporter at yahoo finance. follow her on twitter. read more:	ˈfɔrmər ˈmɔrgən ˈstænli ˈsiˌiˈoʊ ənd

this is one of the most unfortunate and painful stories that i've come across. public shaming has a strong presence on social media and it often flies under the guise of being entertaining or humorous. from parents shaming their kids in a comical way, to pet owners snapping photos of their pets next to signs, social media has provided a way for this kind of shaming to not only be accepted, but welcomed. advertisement however, there is a very fine line between public shaming that is harmless and public shaming that is detrimental, if not, deadly. when you really stop and think about it, parents shaming their kids by posting on social media is not that different from cyberbullying. in the case of, her shaming was followed by a horrific event that is causing parents everywhere to come against public shaming as a form of punishment for kids. laxamana's story has been picked up by a number of news sites and the discussion it has evoked has been overwhelming. countless individuals have taken to weighing in on the story, with many expressing anger and shock that parents think it's okay to publicly shame their children. read the story below and share your thoughts on the matter in the comments. it's not exactly clear why got in trouble with her father, but she did something that, in his eyes, warranted a severe form of punishment. to discourage from disobeying him again, her father cut off her long, black hair, recorded a video of it, and then posted it online. in the video, the father can be heard asking how many times she was warned beforehand about her actions. she replies, "twice." her father then goes on to ask her if her behavior was worth it, to which she replies, "no." the footage also shows a pile of black hair lying on the floor and standing to the side with her chopped short hair. shortly following her father's public shaming, shocked the entire community of tacoma, washington when she jumped off a bridge, falling into a busy interstate after jumping out of the passenger's seat of her grandma's car. her death was considered a suicide and has shaken all the students at her school, middle school.	ðɪs ɪz wən əv ðə moʊst ənˈfɔrʧənət ənd ˈpeɪnfəl ˈstɔriz ðət aɪv kəm əˈkrɔs. ˈpəblɪk ˈʃeɪmɪŋ həz ə strɔŋ ˈprɛzəns ɔn ˈsoʊʃəl ˈmidiə ənd ɪt ˈɔfən flaɪz ˈəndər ðə gaɪz əv biɪŋ ˌɛnərˈteɪnɪŋ ər ˈhjumərəs. frəm ˈpɛrənts ˈʃeɪmɪŋ ðɛr kɪdz ɪn ə ˈkɑmɪkəl weɪ, tɪ pɛt ˈoʊnərz sˈnæpɪŋ ˈfoʊˌtoʊz əv ðɛr pɛts nɛkst tɪ saɪnz, ˈsoʊʃəl ˈmidiə həz prəˈvaɪdɪd ə weɪ fər ðɪs kaɪnd əv ˈʃeɪmɪŋ tɪ nɑt ˈoʊnli bi ækˈsɛptɪd, bət ˈwɛlkəmd. ˌædvərˈtaɪzmənt ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ðɛr ɪz ə ˈvɛri faɪn laɪn bɪtˈwin ˈpəblɪk ˈʃeɪmɪŋ ðət ɪz ˈhɑrmləs ənd ˈpəblɪk ˈʃeɪmɪŋ ðət ɪz ˌdɛtrəˈmɛnəl, ɪf nɑt, ˈdɛdli. wɪn ju ˈrɪli stɑp ənd θɪŋk əˈbaʊt ɪt, ˈpɛrənts ˈʃeɪmɪŋ ðɛr kɪdz baɪ ˈpoʊstɪŋ ɔn ˈsoʊʃəl ˈmidiə ɪz nɑt ðət ˈdɪfərənt frəm cyberbullying*. ɪn ðə keɪs əv, hər ˈʃeɪmɪŋ wɑz ˈfɑloʊd baɪ ə hɔˈrɪfɪk ɪˈvɛnt ðət ɪz ˈkɔzɪŋ ˈpɛrənts ˈɛvriˌwɛr tɪ kəm əˈgɛnst ˈpəblɪk ˈʃeɪmɪŋ ɛz ə fɔrm əv ˈpənɪʃmənt fər kɪdz. ˈstɔri həz bɪn pɪkt əp baɪ ə ˈnəmbər əv nuz saɪts ənd ðə dɪˈskəʃən ɪt həz ɪˈvoʊkt həz bɪn ˌoʊvərˈwɛlmɪŋ. ˈkaʊntləs ˌɪndəˈvɪʤəwəlz hæv ˈteɪkən tɪ weɪɪŋ ɪn ɔn ðə ˈstɔri, wɪθ ˈmɛni ɪkˈsprɛsɪŋ ˈæŋgər ənd ʃɑk ðət ˈpɛrənts θɪŋk ɪts ˌoʊˈkeɪ tɪ ˈpəblɪkli ʃeɪm ðɛr ˈʧɪldrən. rɛd ðə ˈstɔri bɪˈloʊ ənd ʃɛr jʊr θɔts ɔn ðə ˈmætər ɪn ðə ˈkɑmɛnts. ɪts nɑt ɪgˈzæktli klɪr waɪ gɑt ɪn ˈtrəbəl wɪθ hər ˈfɑðər, bət ʃi dɪd ˈsəmθɪŋ ðət, ɪn hɪz aɪz, ˈwɔrəntɪd ə səˈvɪr fɔrm əv ˈpənɪʃmənt. tɪ dɪˈskərɪʤ frəm ˌdɪsoʊˈbeɪɪŋ ɪm əˈgɛn, hər ˈfɑðər kət ɔf hər lɔŋ, blæk hɛr, rɪˈkɔrdɪd ə ˈvɪdioʊ əv ɪt, ənd ðɛn ˈpoʊstɪd ɪt ˈɔnˌlaɪn. ɪn ðə ˈvɪdioʊ, ðə ˈfɑðər kən bi hərd ˈæskɪŋ haʊ ˈmɛni taɪmz ʃi wɑz wɔrnd bɪˈfɔˌrhænd əˈbaʊt hər ˈækʃənz. ʃi rɪˈplaɪz, "twaɪs." hər ˈfɑðər ðɛn goʊz ɔn tɪ æsk hər ɪf hər bɪˈheɪvjər wɑz wərθ ɪt, tɪ wɪʧ ʃi rɪˈplaɪz, "noʊ." ðə ˈfʊtɪʤ ˈɔlsoʊ ʃoʊz ə paɪl əv blæk hɛr laɪɪŋ ɔn ðə flɔr ənd ˈstændɪŋ tɪ ðə saɪd wɪθ hər ʧɑpt ʃɔrt hɛr. ˈʃɔrtli ˈfɑloʊɪŋ hər ˈfɑðərz ˈpəblɪk ˈʃeɪmɪŋ, ʃɑkt ðə ɪnˈtaɪər kəmˈjunɪti əv təˈkoʊmɑ, ˈwɔʃɪŋtən wɪn ʃi ʤəmpt ɔf ə brɪʤ, ˈfɑlɪŋ ˈɪntu ə ˈbɪzi ˌɪntərˈsteɪt ˈæftər ˈʤəmpɪŋ aʊt əv ðə ˈpæsənʤərz sit əv hər ˈgrændˌmɑz kɑr. hər dɛθ wɑz kənˈsɪdərd ə ˈsuɪˌsaɪd ənd həz ˈʃeɪkən ɔl ðə ˈstudənts æt hər skul, ˈmɪdəl skul.
probiotic bacteria chill out anxious mice reporting in proceedings of the national academy of sciences, researchers write of reducing anxiety and stress in mice by feeding them a-laced broth. study author john cryan discusses how the gut influences the brain, and whether the same might hold true in humans. ira flatow, host: this is science friday. i'm ira flatow. you might have heard bacteria help keep your gut healthy, but could they be good for your brain, too? a study out this week suggests the answer is yes, at least for mice, because mice on a diet for a couple of weeks were more relaxed than their counterparts who were not. they showed fewer visible signs of anxiety, lower levels of stress hormones, even chemical changes in the brain. sounds a little like valium, doesn't it? other than signals telling you when you're hungry or full, what connection is there between the intestinal tract and the brain? and why would it be there? i know you yogurt lovers out there are probably wondering: is there any chance this finding might hold true for humans? well, we'll talk about it. if you'd like to, our number is, 1-800-989-talk. you can tweet us @scifri, s-c-i-f-r-i, go to our website and talk over there, or you can go to our facebook page, /scifri. my next guest is an author of that study, published this week in the proceedings of the national academy of scientists. john cryan is a professor at university college cork in ireland, and he joins us by phone. welcome to science friday, dr. cryan. john cryan: thank you very much, ira, it's good to be on. flatow: this sounds amazing. you fed the lab animalss, and then why would they have any effect on the brain? cryan: well, i mean, it's been long known that the brain and the gut communicate, as you mentioned, in terms of feelings of hunger, et cetera. and so what's becoming clearer over the last while is that this communication or, it's a communication, but also that the microbials, which is the flora within the gut, can actually also play an important part in regulating this axis. and so we can now describe what we call the microbial axis, and this is coming across in a whole variety of studies in whole different ways. what we were interested in was just a test - and we're just starting to see whether - if we fed the animals this lactobacillus, whether there would be any changes in behavior, in stress and then what was driving this in terms of whether it was some of the targets that were known to be implicated in these behaviors. and indeed we found it. so we went after this looking a little bit to see how this could happen, which i think is what your question is, and what we found was that one of the major nerves, the cranial nerve, the nerve, which is really very much a relay for monitoring what's going on in all aspects of visceral function to the brain, when this was cut, this nerve, these effects didn't happen. so we know it's happening through a direct mechanism on the nerve, and there is a means for this communication. on the same way, when you're - we've known for a long time that if you're feeling sick, or you've got a bad bacteria, like a food poisoning, the same nerve will signal to the brain to allow you express the sickness behavior. so it's kind of like the good side of what we've already known. flatow: i've heard tell me that there are so many nerves in your guts, it's almost like a center down there. cryan: and it's often referred to that - as a small brain, and the system is very important for maintaining all aspects of homeostasis. flatow: and so people are going to want to say, of course, and i'm sure you've been asked: should i go out and eat a lot of yogurt with bacteria in it, and will it have the same effect? cryan: so what i want to impress on the listeners today from this study is that it's just early days. this is the effects of one specific bacteria, one specific lactobacillus strain. and we're learning a lot about how these bacteria affect health and physiology, but we also know there's lots of difference between the different strains. and so, this one isn't one that is currently commercially available in your supermarket. so it's different, although, you know, it's not unrelated to some of the ones that are there. but it is - we haven't tested this one in any human population yet. so i'd be a bit cautious in from this to humans as yet. however, what i think the study shows and what i think is really important and why i think it's gaining so much attention is that it gives us the idea that the concept of treating disorders by gut can happen, and this can happen in a positive way. so it's encouraging is what i would say. flatow: you know, we've always heard about food, also, being very quieting to people, you know, when they're upset. i guess it might work through the same mechanism? cryan: well, i mean, definitely the plays a role in signaling and in other aspects. and indeed, we are interested in our lab, here in cork, we're interested in the interaction between stress and food intake, although it's quite a complex interaction, as well. flatow: why did the bacteria calm the brain down instead of make it more excited? cryan: okay, well, so what it did was it affected - what we looked at was the gaba, and gaba is the main calming, inhibitory in the brain. and what we found was that this bacteria was able to affect the receptors, which are the proteins in the brain that signal the chemicals, so they affected the levels of these receptors. now, we haven't - there's lots of other receptors and others, and we haven't looked at this, but we plan to. but it is one of these things that we were quite surprised at, that we were able to get such a pronounced effect, and similar effects as if the animals had been given some pharmaceutical agents that are used to treat anxiety and depression. flatow: so you're saying that the effect was so strong that it was like taking a valium. cryan: the effects on behavior were very similar to what we would see if we'd given these mice an acute injection of valium, yeah. flatow: wow, that is pretty strong. cryan: it really is, and we were really surprised about the robustness. and what was really neat about this, is that we carried out these experiments in two different labs. so, in my lab and my colleagues in cork, and also that of the and forsythe labs in mcmaster in canada. so we were able to reproduce it in two different sites, which really give us extra confidence that what we're seeing is real. flatow: do you think that different strains of different bacteria might have different effects? cryan: absolutely, and we know that from studies in immunology and on gut function and other aspects of physiology, that there are different - going to be different responses. because the key here that we need to really find out is what is it specific about this bacteria that's causing it to activate the. is it something that it's releasing? does it need to be alive to do it? you know, there's lot of studies that we need to figure out. you know, is there an additive effect independent of the? there's other things that we need to figure out, but what's important to reinforce is that, you know, if it is a or something that it is secreting, then that might be specific to that bacteria compared to another bacteria. flatow: we have a tweet coming in from jason(ph) who says: what dosage did you use? i'm sure people want to try this themselves. cryan: oh, well, they won't be able to - i mean, one has to also remember that the - what we give to animals is quite different because of their overall physiological differences. so we use doses - chronic dosing over a number of weeks, and i think it was like 109 units of the bacteria, was i think what it was. all the details are - of the specifics are in the paper, but it's consistent with doses that we - what other people have given to laboratory animals, previously. but it's very difficult to - i wouldn't even know how to correlate the doses we would give to animals up to what humans would get. flatow: and so where do you go from here? cryan: well, we really want to find out, how this happens. that's really one of the things that we want to know. we want to know if it's, as you asked, is it specific to this bacteria. and, you know, would other bacteria do the same thing? i mean, is it only lactobacillus? and it's probably not. other good bacteria like probably also do similar effects. but it's going to vary from strain to strain, and see how it goes. and then finally, of course, we would like to try some type of bacterial intervention and assess, is it a true in humans? flatow: and so you will be doing human testing? cryan: yeah, i mean, our center is cork is - the alimentary centre, it's very translational. so we do everything from molecule all the way up to human interventions. this study here would buoy us very much into attempting to try and do this in humans. and there has been some studies in humans withs, although very limited. there was one out of france in the british journal of nutrition a few months ago, which was quite encouraging, which had a mixture of twos, potentials together, which show that they could affect stress, and it could affect mood in a positive sense. flatow: boy, the drug companies don't want to hear this. cryan: drug companies, i don't know. but maybe the food companies do. (soundbite of laughter) flatow: that's right. cryan: you know, i mean, it's - what's really neat about this and what's important to reinforce, as well, is that the mechanism that we're showing, in terms of what it's doing to the brain and brain chemistry, is the same as what the pharmaceuticals are doing. so it's not undermining the actual biology theories underlying anxiety or depression in any sense. it's just showing that we can modulate them by maintaining good digestive health. flatow: and that's the key, you're saying, good digestive health. cryan: yeah, yeah. flatow: and if you do that, the bacteria will take care of themselves? cryan: well, it's hard to know in terms of cause and effect. we do know that, and studies from our own group, have shown that if during - if subjects have early life stress - and also studies from the u.s. have also shown that stress can affect the makeup of your and gut flora and the composition of it. and we know that perhaps one of the things that they -s are doing in certain situations is kind of working to kind of any disturbed composition. however, evidence for that is still not clear, and these studies are ongoing. people are working on trying to basically look for signatures in various patient populations of the gut flora and see how it changes over time and over certain manipulations. flatow: do you expect an influx of money now from thes people to keep...? cryan: i don't know. (soundbite of laughter) cryan: i mean, it's hard to know. as you may know, ireland is in a tough state financially. so getting any type of funding for research is - will be very much welcome. we are very much - we're hoping that this is very much a conceptual change in people's mind with this paper in terms of trying to move the idea that you can, by the gut, we can actually affect behaviors that are previously thought to be largely only to be manipulated by agents that get it across the barrier into the brain. so i think it opens up, and there's a lot of work to do, and i'm very excited about it in terms of the potential it might have and especially in terms of the way it might impact patient care down the way because people, some people are more eager to take a food agent than they will be a pharmaceutical. flatow: all right, dr. cryan, thank you very much, and good luck to you. cryan: thank you very much. flatow: john cryan, professor of anatomy, university of college cork in ireland. stay with us. we'll be right back after this break. copyright 2011 npr. all rights reserved. visit our website terms of use and permissions pages at for further information. npr transcripts are created on a rush deadline by verb8tm, inc., an npr contractor, and produced using a proprietary transcription process developed with npr. this text may not be in its final form and may be updated or revised in the future. accuracy and availability may vary. the authoritative record of programming is the audio record.	probiotic* bækˈtɪriə ʧɪl aʊt ˈæŋʃəs maɪs rɪˈpɔrtɪŋ ɪn prəˈsidɪŋz əv ðə ˈnæʃənəl əˈkædəmi əv ˈsaɪənsɪz, ˈrisərʧərz raɪt əv rɪˈdusɪŋ æŋˈzaɪəti ənd strɛs ɪn maɪs baɪ ˈfidɪŋ ðɛm ə brɔθ. ˈstədi ˈɔθər ʤɑn kraɪən dɪˈskəsɪz haʊ ðə gət ˈɪnˌfluənsɪz ðə breɪn, ənd ˈwɛðər ðə seɪm maɪt hoʊld tru ɪn ˈjumənz. ˌaɪˌɑˈreɪ flatow, hoʊst: ðɪs ɪz saɪəns ˈfraɪˌdeɪ. əm ˌaɪˌɑˈreɪ flatow. ju maɪt hæv hərd bækˈtɪriə hɛlp kip jʊr gət ˈhɛlθi, bət kʊd ðeɪ bi gʊd fər jʊr breɪn, tu?

yoske runs a small and popular hummus place in our town. a ḥabad ḥasid and keeps a shelf near the door with religious literature for customers to browse in while waiting. a few days ago, i was surprised to come across there, among the tracts of advice and inspirational treatises, a slim volume identified by its cover as volume iii, no. 1 (1980-81), of the journal of the american society for jewish music. “yoske,” i asked, showing it to him, “what is this doing here?” had no idea. “someone must have donated it,” he said. “but if you found it, god wanted you to have it, so take it.” his term for god was the traditional hu, “the holy one blessed be he.” i took the journal of the american society for jewish music home with my hummus and soon was reading an article on “seged: a pilgrimage festival.” its author, kate kaufman, later published a book titled music, ritual, and history. would have taken all this as a confirmation of his belief in providence, because the festival, an annual celebration of ethiopian are rarely calleds any longer and are often referred to as beta this year on november 11, just in time for language column. these days, is observed almost exclusively in israel, to which nearly all ethiopian jews have immigrated. back in the early 1980s, however, it was restricted to the highlands of northern ethiopia. as described by: on the day of the eighth month [the beta israel lunar calendar begins, as the jewish year did in antiquity, with the spring month of nisan], . . . thes come together to ascend a mountain, where they prostrate themselves in prayer. the fast observed by them during the mountaintop ceremony is broken when the community descends to the village below to take part in feasting and secular entertainment. . . . the name is derived from a geez root meaning “to bow” or “to prostrate oneself.” sign up for our e-mail list get the latest from mosaic right in your daily weekly geez or, a south semitic language no longer spoken, is sacred to both christian and jewish ethiopians. the torah of the beta israel, who had no knowledge of hebrew, was written in it, and much of their liturgy is recited in it. its semitic affiliation can be seen in the word itself, a of the hebrew verb sagad, which, too, means to bow or prostrate oneself. anyone knowing hebrew, indeed, can easily pick out many such words in the phrases that records in the ceremony attended by her. in her list of the prayers recited on the mountaintop, for instance, there is one that begins ‘esebḥo baḥeywatya, “i will praise god in my life.” “i will praise” in hebrew is ashabe’aḥ; “in my life” is beḥayay; and hebrew le-, “to,” is like the la of, the following the verb for “to praise.” although hebrew belongs to the northwest semitic family and is about as far from as two semitic languages can be, their common roots are apparent. but what hebrew can be recognized in, “god”? none at all, which is something to think about. egziabher is a word with three components: egzi, “lord”; –a, a possessive postclitic; and or bher, “nations”—in short, “lord of the nations.” the word is not an old one. rather, it was coined during the reign of ezana, first christian monarch, who ruled over and extended the domain of the powerful kingdom of aksum. its coiner was probably religious adviser frumentius, the first bishop of the ethiopian church. prior to the arrival of christianity, the had been worshiping different gods and lacking a word in their vocabulary for the single god of monotheism. was a invented to fill this gap, and to this day it is the word for god in amharic, the official language of ethiopia that is descended from and spoken by many beta israel. could this have a bearing on ethiopian origins? broadly speaking, there exist two opposing schools of thought regarding those origins. one is that the beta israel community in ethiopia predated christianity and continued to maintain itself after the establishment; the other, that it was a offshoot of christian groups that did not crystallize until a thousand years after ezana. proponents of the first view have pointed to the existence in of a small number of clearly words, such as meṣwat, “alms,” from hebrew mitzvah, “commandment” or “good deed,” and tabot, “ark,” from hebrew tevah. perhaps the most interesting of these is the word for friday, ‘arb, which can only be explained as deriving from hebrew, “evening,” and specifically, from the expression shabbat, “sabbath eve.” unless there were already jews in ethiopia in times, it is argued, such words could not have entered. adherents of the second view concede that jews, settling in ethiopia from yemen, egypt, or elsewhere, could have introduced such words into but contend that the beta israel cannot be traced back to them. and this, it may be, is where comes in. after all, if a jewish community had survived as the beta israel, it be reasonable to assume that it would have preserved its own is, originally or words for god, brought by it to ethiopia before a parallel word existed? if only a single hebrew word had remained in its vocabulary, this in all likelihood have been that word? jewish communities speaking the different languages have always, as do jews, used those languages’ words for god, whether these be yiddish got, ladino dio, arabic allah, or others, but they have also always had their own distinctively hebrew words and names, like’s hu. the fact that this is not the case with the beta israel suggests that they may never have had any hebrew epithets for god to begin with, which would strengthen the argument that their origins are relatively late. although it is, of course, no proof of anything, it does make one wonder.	yoske* rənz ə smɔl ənd ˈpɑpjələr ˈhʊməs pleɪs ɪn ɑr taʊn. ə ənd kips ə ʃɛlf nɪr ðə dɔr wɪθ rɪˈlɪʤəs ˈlɪtərəʧər fər ˈkəstəmərz tɪ braʊz ɪn waɪl ˈweɪtɪŋ. ə fju deɪz əˈgoʊ, aɪ wɑz səˈpraɪzd tɪ kəm əˈkrɔs ðɛr, əˈməŋ ðə trækts əv ədˈvaɪs ənd ˌɪnspərˈeɪʃənəl ˈtritəsəz, ə slɪm ˈvɑljum aɪˈdɛntəˌfaɪd baɪ ɪts ˈkəvər ɛz ˈvɑljum iii, noʊ. 1 əv ðə ˈʤərnəl əv ðə əˈmɛrɪkən soʊˈsaɪɪti fər ʤuɪʃ mˈjuzɪk. ““yoske,”,” aɪ æst, ʃoʊɪŋ ɪt tɪ ɪm, ɪz ðɪs duɪŋ here?”?” hæd noʊ aɪˈdiə. məst hæv ˈdoʊˌneɪtɪd it,”,” hi sɛd. ɪf ju faʊnd ɪt, gɑd ˈwɔntɪd ju tɪ hæv ɪt, soʊ teɪk it.”.” hɪz tərm fər gɑd wɑz ðə trəˈdɪʃənəl hu, ˈhoʊli wən blɛst bi he.”.” aɪ tʊk ðə ˈʤərnəl əv ðə əˈmɛrɪkən soʊˈsaɪɪti fər ʤuɪʃ mˈjuzɪk hoʊm wɪθ maɪ ˈhʊməs ənd sun wɑz ˈrɛdɪŋ ən ˈɑrtɪkəl ɔn ““seged: ə ˈpɪlgrəmɪʤ festival.”.” ɪts ˈɔθər, keɪt ˈkɔfmən, ˈleɪtər ˈpəblɪʃt ə bʊk ˈtaɪtəld mˈjuzɪk, ˈrɪʧuəl, ənd ˈhɪstəri. wʊd hæv ˈteɪkən ɔl ðɪs ɛz ə ˌkɑnfərˈmeɪʃən əv hɪz bɪˈlif ɪn ˈprɑvədəns, bɪˈkəz ðə ˈfɛstɪvəl, ən ˈænjuəl ˌsɛləˈbreɪʃən əv ˌiθiˈoʊpiən ər ˈrɛrli kɔld ˈɛni ˈlɔŋgər ənd ər ˈɔfən rɪˈfərd tɪ ɛz ˈbeɪtə ðɪs jɪr ɔn noʊˈvɛmbər 11 ʤɪst ɪn taɪm fər ˈlæŋgwɪʤ ˈkɑləm. ðiz deɪz, ɪz əbˈzərvd ˈɔlˌmoʊst ɪkˈsklusɪvli ɪn ˈɪzriəl, tɪ wɪʧ ˈnɪrli ɔl ˌiθiˈoʊpiən ʤuz hæv ˈɪməˌgreɪtɪd. bæk ɪn ðə ˈərli 1980s, ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ɪt wɑz riˈstrɪktɪd tɪ ðə ˈhaɪləndz əv ˈnɔrðərn ˌiθiˈoʊpiə. ɛz dɪˈskraɪbd baɪ: ɔn ðə deɪ əv ðə eɪθ mənθ [ðə ˈbeɪtə ˈɪzriəl ˈlunər ˈkæləndər bɪˈgɪnz, ɛz ðə ʤuɪʃ jɪr dɪd ɪn ænˈtɪkwəti, wɪθ ðə spərɪŋ mənθ əv nisan], ðə kəm təˈgɛðər tɪ əˈsɛnd ə ˈmaʊntən, wɛr ðeɪ ˈprɑstreɪt ðɛmˈsɛlvz ɪn prɛr. ðə fæst əbˈzərvd baɪ ðɛm ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə ˈmaʊntənˌtɑp ˈsɛrəˌmoʊni ɪz ˈbroʊkən wɪn ðə kəmˈjunɪti dɪˈsɛndz tɪ ðə ˈvɪlɪʤ bɪˈloʊ tɪ teɪk pɑrt ɪn ˈfistɪŋ ənd ˈsɛkjələr ˌɛnərˈteɪnmənt. ðə neɪm ɪz dəraɪvd frəm ə ʤiz rut ˈminɪŋ bow”” ər ˈprɑstreɪt oneself.”.” saɪn əp fər ɑr ˈiˌmeɪl lɪst gɪt ðə ˈleɪtəst frəm moʊˈzeɪɪk raɪt ɪn jʊr ˈdeɪli ˈwikli ʤiz ər, ə saʊθ səˈmɪtɪk ˈlæŋgwɪʤ noʊ ˈlɔŋgər ˈspoʊkən, ɪz ˈseɪkrɪd tɪ boʊθ ˈkrɪsʧɪn ənd ʤuɪʃ ˌiθiˈoʊpiənz. ðə ˈtɔrə əv ðə ˈbeɪtə ˈɪzriəl, hu hæd noʊ ˈnɑlɪʤ əv ˈhibru, wɑz ˈrɪtən ɪn ɪt, ənd məʧ əv ðɛr ˈlɪtərʤi ɪz rəˈsaɪtəd ɪn ɪt. ɪts səˈmɪtɪk əˌfɪliˈeɪʃən kən bi sin ɪn ðə wərd ˌɪtˈsɛlf, ə əv ðə ˈhibru vərb sagad, wɪʧ, tu, minz tɪ boʊ ər ˈprɑstreɪt ˌwənˈsɛlf. ˈɛniˌwən noʊɪŋ ˈhibru, ˌɪnˈdid, kən ˈizəli pɪk aʊt ˈmɛni səʧ wərdz ɪn ðə ˈfreɪzɪz ðət ˈrɛkərdz ɪn ðə ˈsɛrəˌmoʊni əˈtɛndəd baɪ hər. ɪn hər lɪst əv ðə prɛrz rəˈsaɪtəd ɔn ðə ˈmaʊntənˌtɑp, fər ˈɪnstəns, ðɛr ɪz wən ðət bɪˈgɪnz baḥeywatya, wɪl preɪz gɑd ɪn maɪ life.”.” wɪl praise”” ɪn ˈhibru ɪz ashabe’aḥḥ; maɪ life”” ɪz beḥayay; ənd ˈhibru lə-, ““to,”,” ɪz laɪk ðə lɑ əv, ðə ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ðə vərb fər praise.”.” ˌɔlˈðoʊ ˈhibru bɪˈlɔŋz tɪ ðə ˌnɔrθˈwɛst səˈmɪtɪk ˈfæməli ənd ɪz əˈbaʊt ɛz fɑr frəm ɛz tu səˈmɪtɪk ˈlæŋgwɪʤɪz kən bi, ðɛr ˈkɑmən ruts ər əˈpɛrənt. bət wət ˈhibru kən bi ˈrɛkəgˌnaɪzd ɪn, ““god””?

security researchers warn that a new attack is capable of infecting windows, mac os x and linux systems with a new variant of the notorious worm. the attack was spotted on social networking websites like facebook, myspace and twitter, the usual hunting grounds of the gang. it begins with users receiving a messages from their friends, who direct them to an online video. lures like "is it you in this video?" have been observed. the included link leads to a fake youtube page, which displays a video thumbnail. clicking it launches a java applet, that users are asked to accept. the applet exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in outdated versions of java and checks the visitor's operating system. based on this determination, the appropriate version of the worm is installed without requiring any interaction from the victim. koobface is the father of all social networking worms and its authors are constantly coming up with new ideas to avoid detection or to make the threat more resilient. once installed on a computer, the worm the social networking accounts of its owner and uses them to propagate. infected systems join together in a and contact a command and control server, from where they receive instructions. according to jerome segura, a security researcher at paretologic, who analyzed the attack, the linux version is attached to a java applet called jnana.tsa. the applet is dropped inside the user's home directory and stops running at computer reboot. this means that on linux, unlike on windows, the infections are temporary. however, linux computers tend to stay open much longer than windows ones, which gives attackers enough time to use them for malicious purposes. the attack is further limited by the fact that many linux distributions, including ubuntu, don't come with java installed by default. nevertheless, the news might be disappointing to many linux and mac os x users, who seem to believe that malware doesn't work on these operating systems. researchers have repeatedly advised that as their market share increases, malware authors will begin viewing these platforms as attractive targets. update october 29: corrected the first paragraph, which erroneously described the attack as a drive-by download. the attack requires user interaction. update october 30: newly discovered information in this case suggests that the linux infection vector might be a side effect. read more.	sɪˈkjʊrəti ˈrisərʧərz wɔrn ðət ə nu əˈtæk ɪz ˈkeɪpəbəl əv ˌɪnˈfɛktɪŋ ˈwɪndoʊz, mæk ɑs ɛks ənd ˈlɪnəks ˈsɪstəmz wɪθ ə nu ˈvɛriənt əv ðə noʊˈtɔriəs wərm. ðə əˈtæk wɑz ˈspɑtɪd ɔn ˈsoʊʃəl ˈnɛtˌwərkɪŋ ˈwɛbˌsaɪts laɪk ˈfeɪsˌbʊk, ˈmaɪˌspeɪs ənd tˈwɪtər, ðə ˈjuʒəwəl ˈhəntɪŋ graʊnz əv ðə gæŋ. ɪt bɪˈgɪnz wɪθ ˈjuzərz rɪˈsivɪŋ ə ˈmɛsɪʤɪz frəm ðɛr frɛndz, hu dɪˈrɛkt ðɛm tɪ ən ˈɔnˌlaɪn ˈvɪdioʊ. lʊrz laɪk "ɪz ɪt ju ɪn ðɪs ˈvɪdioʊ?" hæv bɪn əbˈzərvd. ðə ˌɪnˈkludɪd lɪŋk lidz tɪ ə feɪk ˈjuˌtub peɪʤ, wɪʧ dɪˈspleɪz ə ˈvɪdioʊ ˈθəmˌneɪl. ˈklɪkɪŋ ɪt ˈlɔnʧɪz ə ˈʤɑvə ˈæplət, ðət ˈjuzərz ər æst tɪ əkˈsɛpt. ðə ˈæplət ˈɛkˌsplɔɪts ə rɪˈmoʊt koʊd ˌɛksəˈkjuʃən ˌvəlnərəˈbɪlɪti ɪn ˈaʊtˌdeɪtɪd ˈvərʒənz əv ˈʤɑvə ənd ʧɛks ðə ˈvɪzɪtərz ˈɔpərˌeɪtɪŋ ˈsɪstəm. beɪst ɔn ðɪs dɪˌtərməˈneɪʃən, ðə əˈproʊpriˌeɪt ˈvərʒən əv ðə wərm ɪz ˌɪnˈstɔld wɪˈθaʊt rikˈwaɪərɪŋ ˈɛni ˌɪnərˈækʃən frəm ðə ˈvɪktɪm. ɪz ðə ˈfɑðər əv ɔl ˈsoʊʃəl ˈnɛtˌwərkɪŋ wərmz ənd ɪts ˈɔθərz ər ˈkɑnstəntli ˈkəmɪŋ əp wɪθ nu aɪˈdiəz tɪ əˈvɔɪd dɪˈtɛkʃən ər tɪ meɪk ðə θrɛt mɔr rɪˈzɪljənt. wəns ˌɪnˈstɔld ɔn ə kəmˈpjutər, ðə wərm ðə ˈsoʊʃəl ˈnɛtˌwərkɪŋ əˈkaʊnts əv ɪts ˈoʊnər ənd ˈjuzɪz ðɛm tɪ ˈprɑpəˌgeɪt. ˌɪnˈfɛktɪd ˈsɪstəmz ʤɔɪn təˈgɛðər ɪn ə ənd ˈkɑnˌtækt ə kəˈmænd ənd kənˈtroʊl ˈsərvər, frəm wɛr ðeɪ rɪˈsiv ˌɪnˈstrəkʃənz. əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ʤəroʊm seɪˈgʊrə, ə sɪˈkjʊrəti ˈrisərʧər æt paretologic, hu ˈænəˌlaɪzd ðə əˈtæk, ðə ˈlɪnəks ˈvərʒən ɪz əˈtæʧt tɪ ə ˈʤɑvə ˈæplət kɔld jnana.tsa. ðə ˈæplət ɪz drɑpt ˌɪnˈsaɪd ðə ˈjuzərz hoʊm dɪˈrɛktəri ənd stɑps ˈrənɪŋ æt kəmˈpjutər riˈbut. ðɪs minz ðət ɔn ˈlɪnəks, ənˈlaɪk ɔn ˈwɪndoʊz, ðə ˌɪnˈfɛkʃənz ər ˈtɛmpərˌɛri. ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ˈlɪnəks kəmˈpjutərz tɛnd tɪ steɪ ˈoʊpən məʧ ˈlɔŋgər ðən ˈwɪndoʊz wənz, wɪʧ gɪvz əˈtækərz ɪˈnəf taɪm tɪ juz ðɛm fər məˈlɪʃəs ˈpərpəsɪz. ðə əˈtæk ɪz ˈfərðər ˈlɪmɪtɪd baɪ ðə fækt ðət ˈmɛni ˈlɪnəks ˌdɪstrəˈbjuʃənz, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ˌuˈbuˌtu, doʊnt kəm wɪθ ˈʤɑvə ˌɪnˈstɔld baɪ dɪˈfɔlt. ˌnɛvərðəˈlɛs, ðə nuz maɪt bi ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnɪŋ tɪ ˈmɛni ˈlɪnəks ənd mæk ɑs ɛks ˈjuzərz, hu sim tɪ bɪˈliv ðət ˈmælˌwɛr ˈdəzənt wərk ɔn ðiz ˈɔpərˌeɪtɪŋ ˈsɪstəmz. ˈrisərʧərz hæv rɪˈpitɪdli ədˈvaɪzd ðət ɛz ðɛr ˈmɑrkɪt ʃɛr ˌɪnˈkrisɪz, ˈmælˌwɛr ˈɔθərz wɪl bɪˈgɪn vjuɪŋ ðiz ˈplætˌfɔrmz ɛz əˈtræktɪv ˈtɑrgəts. ˈəpˌdeɪt ɑkˈtoʊbər 29 kərˈɛktɪd ðə fərst ˈpɛrəˌgræf, wɪʧ ɛˈroʊniəsli dɪˈskraɪbd ðə əˈtæk ɛz ə ˈdraɪvˈbaɪ ˈdaʊnˌloʊd. ðə əˈtæk rikˈwaɪərz ˈjuzər ˌɪnərˈækʃən. ˈəpˌdeɪt ɑkˈtoʊbər 30 ˈnuli dɪˈskəvərd ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən ɪn ðɪs keɪs səˈʤɛsts ðət ðə ˈlɪnəks ˌɪnˈfɛkʃən ˈvɛktər maɪt bi ə saɪd ˈifɛkt. rɛd mɔr.
the fbi is changing the definition of rape, in part to include men as victims, fbi director robert s. mueller told congress today. earlier this month the fbi advisory policy board voted to consider changes into definition of rape that is used to track statistics used in the annual fbi uniform crime report (ucr). the current definition of rape under the program defines forcible rape as, "the carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will." the definition of sexual assaults has not been updated since the 1920s. the change is expected to reflect a more accurate picture of how many rapes are reported by state and local police agencies to the fbi for the annual crimes statistics. the fbi's current guideline also notes that, "by definition, sexual attacks on males are excluded from the rape category and must be classified as assaults or other sex offenses depending on the nature of the crime and the extent of injury." "that definition was in some ways unworkable, certainly not applicable to the types of crimes should cover," mueller told the senate judiciary committee today. the new definition approved by the fbi's policy group will define rape as, "penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim." "i approved a change to that definition, and my expectation is it will go into effect sometime this spring." mueller told the judiciary committee.	ðə ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ ɪz ˈʧeɪnʤɪŋ ðə ˌdɛfəˈnɪʃən əv reɪp, ɪn pɑrt tɪ ˌɪnˈklud mɛn ɛz ˈvɪktɪmz, ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ dɪˈrɛktər ˈrɑbərt ɛs. mˈjulər toʊld ˈkɑŋgrəs təˈdeɪ. ˈərliər ðɪs mənθ ðə ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ ædˈvaɪzəri ˈpɑləsi bɔrd ˈvoʊtɪd tɪ kənˈsɪdər ˈʧeɪnʤɪz ˈɪntu ˌdɛfəˈnɪʃən əv reɪp ðət ɪz juzd tɪ træk stəˈtɪstɪks juzd ɪn ðə ˈænjuəl ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ ˈjunəˌfɔrm kraɪm rɪˈpɔrt (ucr). ðə ˈkɑrənt ˌdɛfəˈnɪʃən əv reɪp ˈəndər ðə ˈproʊˌgræm dɪˈfaɪnz ˈfɔrsəbəl reɪp ɛz, "ðə ˈkɑrnəl ˈnɑlɪʤ əv ə ˈfiˌmeɪl ˈfɔrsəbli ənd əˈgɛnst hər wɪl." ðə ˌdɛfəˈnɪʃən əv ˈsɛkʃuəl əˈsɔlts həz nɑt bɪn ˈəpˌdeɪtɪd sɪns ðə 1920s. ðə ʧeɪnʤ ɪz ɪkˈspɛktɪd tɪ rɪˈflɛkt ə mɔr ˈækjərət ˈpɪkʧər əv haʊ ˈmɛni reɪps ər ˌriˈpɔrtəd baɪ steɪt ənd ˈloʊkəl pəˈlis ˈeɪʤənsiz tɪ ðə ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ fər ðə ˈænjuəl kraɪmz stəˈtɪstɪks. ðə ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪz ˈkɑrənt ˈgaɪˌdlaɪn ˈɔlsoʊ noʊts ðət, "baɪ ˌdɛfəˈnɪʃən, ˈsɛkʃuəl əˈtæks ɔn meɪlz ər ɪkˈskludɪd frəm ðə reɪp ˈkætəˌgɔri ənd məst bi ˈklæsəˌfaɪd ɛz əˈsɔlts ər ˈəðər sɛks əˈfɛnsɪz dɪˈpɛndɪŋ ɔn ðə ˈneɪʧər əv ðə kraɪm ənd ðə ɪkˈstɛnt əv ˈɪnʤəri."

the world faces the nightmare possibility of oceans by 2050 without fundamental restructuring of the fishing industry, un experts said monday. “if the various estimates we have received… come true, then we are in the situation where 40 years down the line we, effectively, are out of fish,”, head of the un environment green economy initiative, told journalists in new york. a green economy report due later this year by and outside experts argues this disaster can be avoided if subsidies to fishing fleets are slashed and fish are given protected zones ultimately resulting in a thriving industry. the report, which was opened to preview monday, also assesses how surging global demand in other key areas including energy and fresh water can be met while preventing ecological destruction around the planet. unep director steiner said the world was “drawing down to the very capital” on which it relies. however, “our institutions, our governments are perfectly capable of changing course, as we have seen with the extraordinary uptake of interest. around, i think it is almost 30 countries now have engaged with us directly, and there are many others revising the policies on the green economy,” he said. collapse of fish stocks is not only an environmental matter. one billion people, mostly from poorer countries, rely on fish as their main animal protein source, according to the un. the green economy report estimates there are 35 million people fishing around the world on 20 million boats. about 170 million jobs depend directly or indirectly on the sector, bringing the total web of people financially linked to 520 million. according to the un, 30 percent of fish stocks have already collapsed, meaning they yield less than 10 percent of their former potential, while virtually all fisheries risk running out of commercially viable catches by 2050. the main scourge, the report says, are government subsidies encouraging ever bigger fishing fleets chasing ever fewer fish with little attempt to allow the fish populations to recover. fishing fleet capacity is to 60 percent” higher than it should be, said. “what is scarce here is fish,” he said, calling for an increase in the stock of fish, not the stock of fishing capacity.” creating marine preservation areas to allow female fish to grow to full size, thereby hugely increasing their fertility, is one vital solution, the report says. another is restructuring the fishing fleets to favor smaller boats that once fish stocks recover would be able to land bigger catches. “we believe solutions are on hand, but we believe political will and clear economics are required,” said.	ðə wərld ˈfeɪsɪz ðə ˈnaɪtˌmɛr ˌpɑsəˈbɪləˌti əv ˈoʊʃənz baɪ 2050 wɪˈθaʊt ˌfəndəˈmɛnəl riˈstrəkʧərɪŋ əv ðə ˈfɪʃɪŋ ˈɪndəstri, ˈjuˈɛn ˈɛkspərts sɛd

'harsh images' he was awarded the queens medal for south africa after fighting in cape colony, the orange free state and the transvaal in 1901 and 1902. image copyright hanson's auctioneers image caption the photographs were found in a house in derbyshire and give a glimpse inside the second boer war "the graphic images record the harsh reality, and true horror, of war - something the victorian press did not portray at the time, as the british empire was deemed undefeatable," mr hanson said. the photos include prints of war dead lying in fields, the funeral of a british serviceman and a boer war dog. image copyright hanson's auctioneers image caption the coffin of a british solder is lowered into the ground at a funeral during the war image copyright hanson's auctioneers image caption the collection includes hats, gloves and medals from the second boer war image copyright hanson's auctioneers image caption not much is known about the dog pictured in the photograph - shown wearing a cap and smoking a pipe the collection also contains two pairs of original kid gloves, spurs, an ammunition bandolier, caps and hats, an original south african feathered headdress and a cartridge belt. mr hanson said: "robert oliver was quite a rogue in his youth. at the age of 16, he ran away, ending up on a ship to canada where he found work as a lumberjack. "he later joined staffordshire police and was considered funny but firm and strict." he also owned and ran the devonshire pub in hartington, derbyshire. the sale will be held on 25 july.	ˈɪmɪʤ ˈkɑpiˌraɪt ˈhænsənz ˈɔkʃəˈnɪrz ˈɪmɪʤ ˈkæpʃən ðə "ˈgræfɪk" ˈɪmɪʤɪz ʃoʊ səm əv ðə ˈθaʊzənz əv ˈsoʊlʤərz hu daɪd ɪn ðə ˈsɛkənd bɔr wɔr ˈdəzənz əv ˈfoʊtəˌgræfs frəm ðə ˈsɛkənd bɔr wɔr ðət ʃoʊ ˈbætəl sinz frəm ðə ˈkɑnflɪkt hæv bɪn faʊnd ɪn ə haʊs ɪn ˈdərbiˌʃər. ðə kəˈlɛkʃən əv ˈɪmɪʤɪz, əˈlɔŋ wɪθ ˈmɛdəlz ənd ˈbæʤɪz, wɪl goʊ ɔn ˈɔkʃən ˈleɪtər ɪn ˌʤuˈlaɪ. ðə faɪnd "ɪz laɪk ə taɪm ˈkæpsəl ðət ʃɛdz nu laɪt ɔn ðə wɔr", ˌɑkʃəˈnɪr ˈʧɑrəlz ˈhænsən sɛd. ðə ˈfoʊˌtoʊz wər ˈteɪkən baɪ ˈrɑbərt ˈɑlɪvər, hu sərˈvaɪvd ðə wɔr.

many of the arguments against this kind of reintroduction are due to the potential impacts these animals could have on farming, but lister argues that this would not be a problem in as there is very little farming in the area that could be affected. this type of reintroduction could be beneficial for the economy and ecology of the, just as it has in the u.s. in 1995, wolves were reintroduced into

i once went almost five days without sleep in 1996 just to see 1) if i could make a week (i couldn’t), and 2) what the would be. i was a new neuroscience major at princeton at the time and hoped to do research with famed serotonin pioneer, barry jacobs. hallucinations cut my sleep deprivation trial short, but continued to experiment with sleep optimization and variation as a means of improving performance. here are a few effective techniques and hacks picked up over the last five years from sources ranging from biochemistry to biologists at stanford university… 1. consume calories of index foods in small quantities (low glycemic load) prior to bed. morning fatigue and headache just from sleep debt or poor sleep. low blood sugar following overnight fasting is often a contributing factor. just prior to bed, have a small snack such as: a few sticks of celery with almond butter, a mandarin orange and almonds, or plain (not fat-free) and an apple. ever wonder how you can sleep hours and feel tired? this is part of the explanation. make a snack part of your nutritional program. 1-2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil (120-240 calories) can be used in combination with the above to further increase cell repair during sleep and thus decrease fatigue. it tastes like a mixture of cat urine and asparagus, so i recommend pinching your nose while consuming it thanks seth roberts, phd. for this tip or using capsules. 2. use ice baths to provoke sleep. japanese have longer lifespans that do most other ethnicities. one theory has been that regular or hot baths at bedtime increase melatonin release, which extends lifespan. paradoxically, according to the stanford professors who taught bio 50, cold is actually a more effective for sleep onset, but it could have no relation to melatonin production. i decided to test the effect of combining ice baths, timed with a countdown kitchen timer, one hour prior to bed (closer to bed and the response of noradrenalin, etc. allow you to sleep) with melatonin (1.5 3 mg) on regulating both sleep regularity and speed to sleep. the is simple: bags of ice from a convenience store ($3-6 usd) put into a bath until the ice is about 80% melted. beginners should start with the lower body only and progress to spending the second five minutes with the upper torso submerged (fold your legs at the end of the tub if you have room). talk about the and benefits of this in future post. the result: like getting hit with an elephant tranquilizer. expect it to be pleasant at first. 3. eating your meals at set times can be as important as sleeping on a schedule. people talk a lot about circadian (circa dia = approximately one day) rhythms and establishing a regular sleep schedule, but bedtime timing is just one “zeitgeber” (lit: time giver), or stimulus that synchronizes this (like pheromones and menstrual cycle). eating meals at set times helps regulate melatonin, ghrelin, leptin, and other hormones that affect sleep cycles. other “zeitgebers” for sleep include melatonin, light, and temperature. parting suggestion: get a sleep mask if you have any degree of light in your bedroom. 4. embrace caffeine naps and multiples. test “caffeine naps” between pm. down an espresso and set your alarm for no more than 20 minutes, which prevents awakening in the middle of a restorative sleep cycle. interrupting cycles often leaves you feeling worse than no sleep (though some researchers assert your performance will still improve in comparison with deprivation). for longer naps, test multiples of 90 minutes, which is called an “ultradian” rhythm in some papers, though the proper term should be “infradian” since less than 24 hours. thomas edison, despite his vocal disdain for sleep and claim to sleep only four hours per night, is reported to have taken two three-hour naps daily. don’t forget to factor in your time-to-sleep. it often takes me up to an hour to fall asleep, so set my alarm for seven hours ((4 x 90 minutes) + time-to-sleep). 5. turn off preoccupation with afternoon closure and training. i have as do most males in my family what is called “onset insomnia.” i have trouble staying asleep, but i have a difficult time falling asleep, sometime laying awake in bed for hours. there are two approaches that used with good effect without medications to address this: 1) determine and set a top priorities to-do list that afternoon for the following day to avoid late-night planning, 2) do not read non-fiction prior to bed, which encourages projection into the future and preoccupation/planning. read fiction that engages the imagination and demands attention. recommendations for compulsive non-fiction readers include motherless brooklyn and stranger in a strange land. — from (leptin release decreases with sleep debt) to memory consolidation, sleep is the currency of living. have you taken time to master it like a skill? here are a few questions for the researchers among you: -what is the fastest way to pay off sleep debt? -can you eat more food or protein to compensate for sleep deprivation? to what degree? -how do of ongoing melatonin use compare to drugs like ambien? -what is the interplay of the and ras activating system)? -does insulin sensitivity change between waking and sleep cycles? how? -can coffee and its effects on adenosine affect sleep depth or length?

"i got a little loose in the middle of the corner," hildebrand said to television reporters after being checked and released from the infield care center. "i'm incredibly disappointed. i thought we had a car to run up front." racing: kimball cleared to race after illness hildrebrand, who drives the the no. 4 national guard car for panther racing, started in sunday's race. he's best known for crashing on the last turn of the last lap in the 2011 race, costing him a shot to win as a rookie. he finished at indianapolis last year. photos: 2013 indianapolis 500 sato spins, saves car takuma sato spun on the exit of turn 2 on the lap, but recovered without hitting anything and continued on the lead lap. it wasn't the first indy spin for sato, who was running among the top 10 a few laps before the spin. last year, he was challenging dario for the lead when he spun and crashed on the final lap. franchitti went on to win, while sato finished 17th. sunday's spin dropped him to 24th. carpenter under caution a misstep under caution nearly caught race leader ed carpenter by surprise. carpenter was back and forth to keep his tires clean and warm when he suddenly dipped onto the infield grass in turn 3 on the lap. he recovered and retained the lead, telling his crew by radio that he nearly lost control while scrubbing his tires. shortly before that, a crash cost sebastian saavedra. saavedra crashed in turn 2 on the lap, blaming mann for forcing him too low. he was not injured. rahal, jakes fined for pit road infractions indycar officials administered financial penalties to rahal letterman lanigan racing teammates graham rahal and james jakes during sunday's race for improper entry and exit of pit lane. jakes was later assessed a penalty on lap 95 for an undisclosed pit safety violation. each was fined $10,000 for the earlier violations, track officials reported, although the specific nature of those violations was not disclosed. the violations came during pit stops after sebastian saavedra crashed on lap 35. officials said the drivers violated rule, which reads, "the pit lane will start and end at points designated by officials. the pit entrance and pit lane exit lanes are considered part of the track. drivers exiting the pit lane shall rejoin the pack relative to the position they are to the safety car cars on track as they cross the blend out line. taking improper position upon leaving the pit lane or failure of a driver entrant to follow the direction of officials may result in a minimum penalty. the official's determination of the order is not subject to protest or appeal." it was the fourth $10,000 fine for rahal letterman lanigan in four days. after last week's qualifying sessions, the team was fined $10,000 each for two infractions in attempts to keep cars cool in the pits. the team was assessed $10,000 for graham car and another $10,000 for michael jr., who failed to qualify for the race. photos: history of the indianapolis 500	ˈtoʊni praɪər tɪ ðə 2013 ˌɪndiəˈnæpəlɪs 500 æt ðə ˌɪndiəˈnæpəlɪs ˈmoʊtər ˈspidˌweɪ. ˈændru ˈwɛbər, ˈjuˈɛˈseɪ təˈdeɪ spɔrts) ˌɪndiəˈnæpəlɪs ˈtoʊni ˈfaɪnəli broʊk θru tɪ wɪn hɪz fərst ˌɪndiəˈnæpəlɪs 500 ˈwɪnɪŋ ˈəndər ˈkɔʃən., hu həz bɪˈkəm ən ˌɪndiəˈnæpəlɪs ˈfeɪvərɪt, ˈɛndɪd jɪrz əv frəˈstreɪʃən æt ðə "ˈgreɪtəst ˈspɛktəkəl ɪn ˈreɪsɪŋ.", hu θæŋkt hɪz kru ˈoʊvər ənd ˈoʊvər ɛz hi krɔst ðə ˈfɪnɪʃ laɪn, sɛd ˌbiˈfɔr ðə reɪs, "ɪt wɑz wɪn ər ɛls." tu leɪt ˈkɔʃənz hɛlpt əˈʧiv ˈvɪktəri. græm rəˈhɑl kræʃt wɪθ ˈsɛvən læps rɪˈmeɪnɪŋ ɪn ðə ˈrənɪŋ əv ðə ˌɪndiəˈnæpəlɪs 500 rəˈhɑl, ðə sən əv 1986 ˈʧæmpiən ˈbɑbi rəˈhɑl wɑz ˈlʊkɪŋ fər hɪz fərst ˌɪndiəˈnæpəlɪs 500 wɪn. ðə wər ˈhoʊpɪŋ tɪ ʤɔɪn æl ˈənsər ənd æl ˈənsər jr. ɛz ðə ˈoʊnli ˈduoʊ tɪ wɪn ðə "ˈgreɪtəst ˈspɛktəkəl ɪn ˈreɪsɪŋ." ˈreɪnɪŋ ˈʧæmpiən reɪ wɑz ˈlidɪŋ ˈtoʊni, ˈkɑrloʊs ˈmunjoʊz wɪn ðə ˈkɔʃən flæg flu. wən læp ˈæftər ðə grin flæg flu wɪθ fɔr læps rɪˈmeɪnɪŋ, ˈdɛriˌoʊ hɪt ðə wɔl, ˈbrɪŋɪŋ əˈnəðər ˈjɛloʊ flæg. græbd ðə lɛd raɪt ˌbiˈfɔr ðə ˈkɔʃən flu. ˈhɪldɪˌbrænd ˈkræʃɪz ˈərli j.r. ɪz ðə fərst ˈdraɪvər aʊt əv ðə ˌɪndiəˈnæpəlɪs 500 ˈæftər ə hɑrd rɛk ɔn ðə fɔrθ læp. spən aʊt bɪtˈwin tərnz 1 ənd 2 ˈhɪtɪŋ ðə wɔl hɑrd ənd ˈskreɪpɪŋ əˈweɪ moʊst əv ðə lɛft saɪd əv hɪz kɑr. mɔr: ˈbɔstən ˈmɛrəˌθɑn ˈrənərz ˈfɪnɪʃ reɪs æt ˈɪndi ðə ˈnɔrðərn ˌkæləˈfɔrnjə ˈneɪtɪv, hu wɔkt əˈweɪ frəm ðə kɑr ˈəndər hɪz oʊn paʊər, sɛd hi maɪt hæv bɪn sˈlaɪtli ɔf laɪn.

january 12, 2015 at pm update: post updated with comments from sen. roach and sen. chase. olympia a leadership squabble put a twist into the opening day of the legislature monday, as minority democrats helped install controversial republican state sen. pam roach as senate president propore. in what amounted to a mini coup, democrats sided with roach and sen. don benton, r-vancouver, to install roach in the leadership post. the move was in part a dig at state sen. tim sheldon, the potlatch democrat who has been with the majority coalition caucus. sheldon was president pro last year and had been expected to retain the post. sheldon was taken off guard by the surprise maneuver. “i think there was a little bit of the politics of bitterness shown on the floor,” sheldon said. he said democrats wanted to “slap me down” for with the gop. “obviously, senator roach and senator benton made a deal.” roach denied that: “there were no deals that were made,” she said, adding that she simply worked to line up the required 25 votes. “i’ve worked very well with democrats and i think they appreciate that.” roach said the pro job is typically reserved for the senior member of the majority party in the senate chamber and the longest serving state senator. sheldon said he only learned of the effort to depose him shortly before the vote monday. “it was well-concealed, and well-executed. the way politics works,” he said. the president position is largely ceremonial, but puts roach in position to preside over the senate when democratic lt. governor brad owen is unavailable. according to senate rules, the move also stands to make roach of the powerful senate rules committee, which decides which legislation comes to the floor for a vote. monday’s move was all the more interesting given that just a few years ago roach had been kicked out of the republican caucus after complaints of behavior. despite all that, roach was in november to a seventh term, beating fellow republican cathy dahlquist. roach’s elevation to a leadership position could be an indirect win for organized labor. unlike most republicans, roach has been supported by state employees unions during her campaigns. sen. chase, d-shoreline, who nominated roach for the pro position, denied the move was intended as revenge against sheldon. “a lot of people might think what it is,” said chase. “for me, it was about my friend (roach), who is the senior member of the body.” the early friction in the capitol is a reminder of how precarious both majorities are in the legislature with republicans enjoying a small majority in the senate and democrats a small majority in the house. that leaves plenty of chances for and power brokering by individual lawmakers. of course, going against your caucus can have repercussions. sheldon said the majority coalition could decide to yank roach from the rules committee, for example.	ˈʤænjuˌɛri 12 2015 æt piɛm ˈəpˌdeɪt: poʊst ˈəpˌdeɪtɪd wɪθ

in a match at the 2016 ryder cup, thomas pieters belted a drive 324 yards. his ball was the shortest in the group. rory mcilroy pounded a tee shot on another hole. drives exceeding 350 yards are seemingly routine for dustin johnson. these days in pro golf, power is prevalent. today’s era benefits from lighter shafts, larger with faces and a solid core golf ball. players are bigger, stronger, more athletic, pay close attention to nutrition and hone their bodies in the gym. still, the question lingers, how far would legends hit the ball with equipment? grainy, footage on youtube, books, magazine articles and anecdotes provide a starting point. first, hear from a major champion who starred in the 1970s. “if we had (the new) golf ball in my day," lee trevino told usa today in 2007, “the best of us would have hit it 300 yards and jack nicklaus would have hit it it’s not a stretch to believe trevino. nicklaus cranked a blast to win the long drive competition in 1963 with the “old ball.” when he was 18 years old, he and arnold palmer drove the green on a par 4 at athens (ohio) cc, a story nicklaus shared at memorial service. today, such drives are routine. according to data, there were 200 measured drives of 375 yards or longer during the tour season, including eight surpassing the barrier. study the career of fred couples to grasp the impact technology has made on driving distance at the highest level. in 1982, couples was a with immense flexibility. he averaged yards in driving distance, which was eighth on the tour. in 2009, couples was a with a battling serious back problems. he averaged yards in driving distance, which was on the tour. his former world cup partner, davis love iii, led the tour in 1986 at age 22, averaging 285 yards per drive. two decades later, gained 13 yards. this year at age 52, love was one of the eight golfers who had a drive. technology made gradual progress for more than 60 years, according to nicklaus. in the last 20 years, it exploded. “once we got into a wound golf ball and once we got into steel shafts, the game from basically the early until 1995 changed very little, and all the golf courses that were built needed very little adjustment to be able to handle any kind of a tournament," nicklaus told usa today in 2007. ben hogan hit his driver 265 yards, according to an article in the june 10, 1949 issue of time magazine. even 15 years later he still hit drives that distance in a wonderful world of golf match against the equally sam snead. considering their length off the tee put them in the top 10 in 1980, fair to assume rank at least as high today. snead remained flexible and powerful into his due to a daily yoga routine. with his size, strength and fluid golf swing, challenge j.b. holmes, who led the tour in driving distance in (314.5 yards). as nicklaus states, the ball has played a large role. driving distances changed little over decades. ibm recorded driving distance data at 11 tour events in 1968. the top 10 players averaged yards, the average was yards and nicklaus led the tour at yards. adding 35 yards for increased speed, hotter driver and better ball, nicklaus would've averaged last season. when tour pros put the pro vi in play in late 2000, they automatically hit the ball yards farther with each iron. a recent study also sheds light on the subject. chad campbell averaged 291 yards off the tee in 2009, ranking on the tour. at the byron nelson classic that year, he hit balata 100 balls on the driving range with a driver supplied by noted golf author curt sampson, according to a blog post published at golfdigest.com. the results were startling. his average drive with the byron nelson wooden driver went 247 yards. the ball carried 270 yards off his driver, which measured and 230 off the relic, which measured. he swung the steel shaft in the at 106 miles per hour. he swung the graphite shaft in his driver at 113 miles per hour. a driver two inches longer and two ounces lighter enabled campbell to generate more speed. according to golf club designer tom wishon in a post on golfwrx.com, each of speed equals yards of carry. he wrote that advancements in golf equipment account for at best, 25 percent of the distance increase. the average speed increased from 104 mph in 1980 to 113 in 2016. andrew loupe led the tour with average speed. he recorded a top measured speed of mph. in all, 14 pros averaged 120 mph or better. using high-speed film analysis, experts estimate legendary amateur bobby jones had a swing speed of 117 miles per hour in the - using hickory shafts. only 27 players on the tour in had a faster average. reasonable to assume jones, who was one of the longer hitters of the day and the greatest amateur, would have no trouble keeping up if given modern equipment. while the distance a golf ball carries is important, wishon also makes another key point. fairways are at roughly inch on the tour now, significantly lower than in the past, although courses benefit from extensive irrigation. brandt snedeker, who is slightly shorter than average, played rounds on the sea island plantation course for an article that appeared in usa today. he played one round with his clubs and the next with woods and irons and a balata ball from the mid-80s. with the driver, he observed a yard difference on shots. the gap stretched to yards on shots. needless to say, snedeker and his cohorts are glad they have to play for a living with equipment from a previous era. and, the legends from the past loved to tee up their beauty and swing away.	ɪn ə mæʧ æt ðə 2016 ˈraɪdər kəp, ˈtɑməs ˈpitərz ˈbɛltɪd ə draɪv 324 jɑrdz. hɪz bɔl wɑz ðə ˈʃɔrtɪst ɪn ðə grup. ˈrɔri ˈmækəˌlrɔɪ ˈpaʊndɪd ə ti ʃɑt ɔn əˈnəðər hoʊl. draɪvz

scope: diets rich in vegetables are associated with lower levels ofs, which may contribute to potential properties of these vegetables. we investigate whether (sf), an (itc) obtained from broccoli, could suppress transcription and subsequent secretion at a physiologically relevant concentration using in vitro models of chronic inflammation. methods and results: we find that exposure of the receptor) to physiologically appropriate concentrations of under conditions results in modification of residues 246 and 609. we further demonstrate that the changes in expression of 1210 genes (p) in and the secretion ofs in both human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmcs) and induced by exposure can be completely suppressed through exposure with physiologically appropriate concentrations of. finally, we show that in vivo exposure of human to within human circulation reduces secretion ofs following subsequent ex vivo challenge (p <). conclusion: covalent modification of by and resultant suppression of cell signalling could lead to reductions in levels ofs in people with chronic diseases who consume diets rich in vegetables. © 2014 verlag gmbh & co. kgaa, weinheim.	skoʊp: daɪɪts rɪʧ ɪn ˈvɛʤtəbəlz ər əˈsoʊʃiˌeɪtəd wɪθ loʊər ˈlɛvəlz əv, wɪʧ meɪ kənˈtrɪbjut tɪ pəˈtɛnʃəl ˈprɑpərtiz əv ðiz ˈvɛʤtəbəlz. wi ˌɪnˈvɛstəˌgeɪt ˈwɛðər (sf), ən (itc) əbˈteɪnd frəm ˈbrɑkəli, kʊd səˈprɛs ˌtrænˈskrɪpʃən ənd ˈsəbsəkwənt səˈkriʃən æt ə ˌfɪziəˈlɑʤɪkli ˈrɛləvənt ˌkɑnsənˈtreɪʃən ˈjuzɪŋ ɪn ˈvɪtroʊ ˈmɑdəlz əv ˈkrɑnɪk ˌɪnfləˈmeɪʃən. ˈmɛθədz ənd rɪˈzəlts: wi faɪnd ðət ɪkˈspoʊʒər əv ðə riˈsɛptər tɪ ˌfɪziəˈlɑʤɪkli əˈproʊpriˌeɪt ˌkɑnsənˈtreɪʃənz əv ˈəndər kənˈdɪʃənz rɪˈzəlts ɪn ˌmɑdəfəˈkeɪʃən əv ˈrɛzəˌduz 246 ənd 609 wi ˈfərðər ˈdɛmənˌstreɪt ðət ðə ˈʧeɪnʤɪz ɪn ɪkˈsprɛʃən əv 1210 ʤinz (pi ɪn ənd ðə səˈkriʃən əv ɪn boʊθ ˈjumən pərˈɪfərəl bləd ˌmɑnəˈnukliər sɛlz (pbmcs) ənd ˌɪnˈdust baɪ ɪkˈspoʊʒər kən bi kəmˈplitli səˈprɛst θru ɪkˈspoʊʒər wɪθ ˌfɪziəˈlɑʤɪkli əˈproʊpriˌeɪt ˌkɑnsənˈtreɪʃənz əv. ˈfaɪnəli, wi ʃoʊ ðət ɪn ˈvivoʊ ɪkˈspoʊʒər əv ˈjumən tɪ wɪˈθɪn ˈjumən ˈsərkjəˌleɪʃən rɪˈdusɪz səˈkriʃən əv ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ˈsəbsəkwənt ɛks ˈvivoʊ ˈʧælənʤ (pi kənˈkluʒən: ˌmɑdəfəˈkeɪʃən əv baɪ ənd riˈzəltənt səˈprɛʃən əv sɛl ˈsɪgnəlɪŋ kʊd lɛd tɪ rɪˈdəkʃənz ɪn ˈlɛvəlz əv ɪn ˈpipəl wɪθ ˈkrɑnɪk dɪˈzizɪz hu kənˈsum daɪɪts rɪʧ ɪn ˈvɛʤtəbəlz. 2014 ˈvərlæg ˈʤiˈɛmˈbiˈeɪʧ koʊ. kgaa, weinheim*.
as streiff laid out this morning, a new narrative going around in liberal (and some non-liberal) circles. that somehow, the loss of life from an ambush in the country of niger is not just “benghazi” but “benghazi on steroids.” the first take was given by none other than frederica wilson, who proclaimed such during an interview. since been molded and repeated by numerous democrats as well as turned into a few different conspiracy theories, the most ludicrous by rachel, who claims that chadian troops pulling out to the far east of the country led influenced the attack. do a thorough debunking of that later. there’s just one issue with these hot takes. they ignore all the facts to make a political point. having spent lots of time in niger, including reaches well outside the capital of, i want to give my personal experiences, what it looks like on ground, and why the politicization of this issue is short-sighted and shallow. let’s deal with a few assertions about force strength first. one complaint going around is that there was not sufficient resources in the area to support the soldiers after the ambush took place. true in the abstract. in context, a silly point that ignores the facts on the ground. the country of niger is not a terrorist hotbed. actually one of the most stable areas in western africa and islamic radicalism has basically no foot hold there. this is not iraq, libya, or even nigeria. not even in the same universe. because of this, american deployments there are not many. private contractors handle evacuation duties. actually met the guy once who runs the operation. they have two older sikorsky helicopters on the east end of the civilian ramp. they looked like variants of the sikorsky, but not sure of the exact model. i remember them being blue and white and only one looked airworthy. the other was likely being used for parts. why point this out? it is not a scandal that private contractors are being used. the us military are not omnipresent. they send valuable resources, such as a blackhawk and the dozens of personnel they need, to one of the least dangerous parts of western africa to be used a few times a year if they are lucky. much more cost effective and accomplishes the same thing to contract that work out. another critique seen is that they were in civilian vehicles, insinuating that they properly equipped. anyone operated in an area like this knows normal. you drive around in tanks, announcing who you are, in a country like niger. most of the soldiers i saw while there were also in civilian cloths. again, this is normal and not a scandal. the main presence is on a drone base in, which is built on the part of the airport. the french have fighters there and they operate routinely in mali. from what i gathered, our main air assets in the area are drones and there are no combat aircraft available. advisors are scattered to the east in cities like and zinder as well. i believe pulled out of because too dangerous (cross border incursions from nigeria are the issue, not the city itself or people), but i have confirmation on that aside from what people in that city told me earlier this year. to give a better lay of the land, is the capital and is mostly french speaking as it was a former colony. as you move east, most are and speak that language. to the north, you find smaller people groups, some nomadic (the fulani for example). north of, where these soldiers were operating, are the groumanchema. they speak their own language and are not islamic but have their own religion. in none of my experiences there did i ever feel threatened or that was a problem anywhere i went. the nigerian people seem to be uniquely resistant to violence and islamic radicalism. to their credit, but it also gives us an idea of whether this was truly a hot zone where the us military would be expected to dedicate large amounts of resources. it simply and isn’t. the lack of forces there, qrf, air assets, etc. is not a scandal. it was to be expected given the facts on the ground. now, deal with the dumbest conspiracy theory emanating from those who want to politicize this. rachel shared a convoluted theory (which i guess has started to make the rounds) on her show a few days ago which basically goes like this: trump put chad on the travel ban list. chad pulled their troops out of. because chad no longer had troops in, this loss of force in the country led to the ambush happening. this is an idiotic theory lack of knowledge and experience with niger. chad had put troops in the city of, which is on the chadian border and at risk for harem activity coming from northern nigeria across the border. us special forces (again, as far as i was told) pulled out a while ago due to the level of danger and it being so remote. chad did indeed pull troops out of, although the plans to do so predated the latest travel ban. but accept the premise. chad got mad at the travel ban and pulled out. why does this have absolutely nothing to do with us forces being ambushed north of? the answer is geographic and mission related. is 730+ miles from where the ambush took place. to get from to is about 24 hours on some of the worst roads see. there is no reliable road through the desert that cuts the distance off. you must follow the nigeria border across to and then go north. from, where the drone base is and from where the embassy, is about an hour just to get out of the city. then another several hours north on mostly dirt roads to reach where this ambush took place. been to the area one time. this also happened immediately after the rainy season, which means many roads would be washed out and impassable. while the rain stops in september, rivers and roads remain affected well into november. all told, of probably taken close to 30 hours for any chadian forces to reach the ambush area. furthermore, chadian forces were not fighting al and isis operatives from mali. they were fighting harem from nigeria. while they did indeed leave, chad has not stopped fighting harem nor could any action by them logically influence the outcome of the ambush. these were two different terrorist groups operating on opposite ends of the country. lastly, seen the chadian forces. they are better equipped than the nigerian forces (and wore pretty cool looking grey camo), but they are still africans with 60 year old and with no real technology. even if the chadian soldiers were in, the us forces never would of called on them to respond to this situation. in the end, attempting to link the ambush of us forces north of to chadian soldiers leaving is ludicrous. to then connect that with the travel ban so as to blame trump is partisan insanity turned up to eleven. so what happened here? us forces were patrolling, most likely to gather intel and maintain relationships with the locals near the mali border. cross border attacks at night are a danger in that area. anytime you leave the confines of a us military installation, risk. even in a country as quiet as niger, risk. in this case, due to the low risk level, we did not have a large, layered response presence in the event of an attack. again, that is not a scandal. it was dictated by the facts on the ground. i’ve seen cnn running with a headline that there was a “massive intelligence failure” (a line given by an anonymous congressional staffer who possibly know the nuances of the situation, but cnn ran with it anyway). sensationalism and misleading. combat is not a video game and not a movie. sometimes simply not possible to know the location of the enemy, especially in a situation where you do not expect an attack. brave men died doing a necessary mission in an area of the world most find on the map. they should be lauded but this should not be turned into a political football. this is not “benghazi.” there is no cover up and there were no lies. libya was a terrorist where decisions on the ground were logically wrong and negligent to the highest levels. that is not what happened in niger. the decisions, at least what we know of them so far, were logical. even when you do everything right, things can go wrong. the media continue to shame themselves in these situations. attempting to turn every military death under trump into a scandal is dishonest and petty. we saw the same thing when there were special forces deaths in syria earlier in the year. everyone needs to take a step back here. people like rep. wilson and rachel, who want to use this for political points, are doing a great disservice to the men and women who risk their lives every single day across the globe. this is not a game where high-minded ivory tower dwellers can have all the answers and they should stop acting like they do.	ɛz straɪf leɪd aʊt ðɪs ˈmɔrnɪŋ, ə nu ˈnɛrətɪv goʊɪŋ əraʊnd ɪn ˈlɪˌbərəl (ənd səm non-liberal) ˈsərkəlz. ðət ˈsəmˌhaʊ, ðə lɔs əv laɪf frəm ən ˈæmˌbʊʃ ɪn ðə ˈkəntri əv ˈnaɪʤər ɪz nɑt ʤɪst ““benghazi”” bət ɔn steroids.”.” ðə fərst teɪk wɑz ˈgɪvɪn baɪ nən ˈəðər ðən ˌfrɛdərˈikə ˈwɪlsən, hu proʊˈkleɪmd səʧ ˈdʊrɪŋ ən ˈɪntərvˌju. sɪns bɪn ˈmoʊldɪd ənd rɪˈpitɪd baɪ ˈnumərəs ˈdɛməˌkræts ɛz wɛl ɛz tərnd ˈɪntu ə fju ˈdɪfərənt kənˈspɪrəsi ˈθɪriz, ðə moʊst ˈludəkrəs baɪ ˈreɪʧəl, hu kleɪmz ðət ˈʧeɪdiən trups ˈpʊlɪŋ aʊt tɪ ðə fɑr ist əv ðə ˈkəntri lɛd ˈɪnfluənst ðə əˈtæk. du ə θəroʊ dɪˈbəŋkɪŋ əv ðət ˈleɪtər. ʤɪst wən ˈɪʃu wɪθ ðiz hɑt teɪks. ðeɪ ˌɪgˈnɔr ɔl ðə fækts tɪ meɪk ə pəˈlɪtɪkəl pɔɪnt. ˈhævɪŋ spɛnt lɑts əv taɪm ɪn ˈnaɪʤər, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ˈriʧɪz wɛl ˈaʊtˈsaɪd ðə ˈkæpɪtəl əv, aɪ wɔnt tɪ gɪv maɪ ˈpərsɪnəl ɪkˈspɪriənsɪz, wət ɪt lʊks laɪk ɔn graʊnd, ənd waɪ ðə pəˌlɪtəsəˈzeɪʃən əv ðɪs ˈɪʃu ɪz ˌʃɔrtˈsaɪtəd ənd ˈʃæloʊ. dil wɪθ ə fju əˈsərʃənz əˈbaʊt fɔrs strɛŋθ fərst. wən kəmˈpleɪnt goʊɪŋ əraʊnd ɪz ðət ðɛr wɑz nɑt səˈfɪʃənt ˈrisɔrsɪz ɪn ðə ˈɛriə tɪ səˈpɔrt ðə ˈsoʊlʤərz ˈæftər ðə ˈæmˌbʊʃ tʊk pleɪs. tru ɪn ðə ˈæbˌstrækt. ɪn ˈkɑntɛkst, ə ˈsɪli pɔɪnt ðət ˌɪgˈnɔrz ðə fækts ɔn ðə graʊnd. ðə ˈkəntri əv ˈnaɪʤər ɪz nɑt ə ˈtɛrərɪst ˈhɑtˌbɛd. ˈæˌkʧuəli wən əv ðə moʊst ˈsteɪbəl ˈɛriəz ɪn ˈwɛstərn ˈæfrɪkɑ ənd ˌɪzˈlɑmɪk ˈrædɪkəˌlɪzəm həz ˈbeɪsɪkli noʊ fʊt hoʊld ðɛr. ðɪs ɪz nɑt ˌɪˈrɑk, ˈlɪˌbiə, ər ˈivɪn naɪˈʤɪriə. nɑt ˈivɪn ɪn ðə seɪm ˈjunəˌvərs. bɪˈkəz əv ðɪs, əˈmɛrɪkən dɪˈplɔɪmənts ðɛr ər nɑt ˈmɛni. ˈpraɪvət ˈkɑnˌtræktərz ˈhændəl ɪˌvækjəˈweɪʃən ˈdutiz. ˈæˌkʧuəli mɛt ðə gaɪ wəns hu rənz ðə ˌɑpərˈeɪʃən. ðeɪ hæv tu ˈoʊldər sɪˈkɔrski ˈhɛlɪˌkɑptərz ɔn ðə ist ɛnd əv ðə səˈvɪljən ræmp. ðeɪ lʊkt laɪk ˈvɛriənts əv ðə sɪˈkɔrski bət nɑt ʃʊr əv ðə ɪgˈzækt ˈmɑdəl. aɪ rɪˈmɛmbər ðɛm biɪŋ blu ənd waɪt ənd ˈoʊnli wən lʊkt ˈɛrˌwərði. ðə ˈəðər wɑz ˈlaɪkli biɪŋ juzd fər pɑrts. waɪ pɔɪnt ðɪs aʊt?

takeaway: the fewer new and rich experiences we have, the quicker time passes. the solution is two-fold: make an effort to experience more interesting things, and savor familiar. estimated reading time: 3 minutes, 5s. over the last few years, noticed time has started to move more quickly. of course, the days always tick forward at the same just relate to them differently over time. i recently indulged a curiosity, and dug a bit into exactly how we perceive time, as well as what we can do to stretch the minutes further. does time always fly by faster as we get older? what i discovered surprised me. time does, in fact, pass more quickly as we get also able to reverse that feeling. there’s a curious reason for this timely speed-up. similar to how a return journey feels like it takes half as long as the trip there. return journeys are familiar, not new and novel. we pay less attention to them, and as a result, process the experience less deeply. the newer and richer your experiences, the slower time passes. probably experienced this in your own life. when you were a kid, every experience was new and friend you made, every conversation you had, and each time you got in trouble was a unique and memorable experience. your teenage years likely brought another onslaught of novel experiences: your first kiss, first drink, or first serious girlfriend or boyfriend. typically, the older we get, the fewer new and novel experiences we have. like driving back home after a long road trip, the route is more familiar. we recognize the landmarks and milestones already passed, and this second experience is less rich and the amount of dopamine (a pleasure chemical) found in our brain also steadily declines as we get older, starting in our 20s. research has found that dopamine helps regulate how we perceive more dopamine that is present in our brain, the slower time (conveniently enough, our brain releases dopamine each time we experience something new and rich.) in reflecting on this research, i noticed i spend much of my day immersed in familiar things. i listen to the same podcasts, play my favorite ipad games, and bounce between a few apps, consuming social media updates similar to ones consumed in the past. these habits are neither new or rich. while many distractions are novel, few are as rich as completely new to a stranger in a cafe, traveling to a place never been before, or going skydiving for the first time. distractions make time pass more quickly and lead us to fill the gaps in our day with familiar. two ways to slow time i discovered the solution to this is two-fold: seek as many new and novel experiences as possible; savor already familiar. seeking new and novel experiences lets us slow time. instead of going through the motions, we do things never done that are rich and release dopamine in our brain. each new meal, thing we learn, and place we visit is an opportunity to slow time. we step outside of comfortable. savoring familiar does something similar. instead of spending our time on autopilot mode, we notice the richness embedded in our familiar routines. choose something familiar that you experience your morning coffee, picking up your kids from daycare, or chatting with a make a concerted effort to savor, and be grateful for that experience. i personally find meditation, more than almost anything else, helps me savor these small things every day. if you feel like time is passing too quickly, not alone. seeking new and novel experiences, and savoring the familiar, is the antidote.	takeaway: ðə fjuər nu ənd rɪʧ ɪkˈspɪriənsɪz wi hæv, ðə kˈwɪkər taɪm ˈpæsɪz. ðə səˈluʃən ɪz two-fold: meɪk ən ˈɛfərt tɪ ɪkˈspɪriəns mɔr ˈɪntəˌrɛstɪŋ θɪŋz, ənd ˈseɪvər fəˈmɪljər. ˈɛstəˌmeɪtɪd ˈrɛdɪŋ taɪm: 3 ˈmɪnəts, 5s. ˈoʊvər ðə læst fju jɪrz, ˈnoʊtɪst taɪm həz ˈstɑrtɪd tɪ muv mɔr kˈwɪkli. əv kɔrs, ðə deɪz ˈɔlˌweɪz tɪk ˈfɔrwərd æt ðə seɪm ʤɪst rɪˈleɪt tɪ ðɛm ˈdɪfərˈɛntli ˈoʊvər taɪm. aɪ ˈrisəntli ˌɪnˈdəlʤd ə ˌkjʊriˈɑsəti, ənd dəg ə bɪt ˈɪntu ɪgˈzæktli haʊ wi pərˈsiv taɪm, ɛz wɛl ɛz wət wi kən du tɪ strɛʧ ðə ˈmɪnəts ˈfərðər. dɪz taɪm ˈɔlˌweɪz flaɪ baɪ ˈfæstər ɛz wi gɪt ˈoʊldər?

president barack obama hailed sen. tim optimism. \| ap photo obama: kaine is a 'progressive fighter' hillary clinton now has a running mate in virginia sen. tim kaine, and president barack obama is on board with the pick. in a democratic party fundraising email sent under obama's name saturday morning, the president heaps praise on kaine, who also made obama's vp in 2008, picking out moments like the virginia tech massacre to show the ability to stand up and be a leader. story continued below "like hillary, tim is an optimist. but like hillary, he is also a progressive fighter," obama wrote. clinton announced kaine as her running mate late friday. the presumptive democratic nominee is scheduled to hold campaign rally on saturday in florida to formally introduce him to supporters ahead of next week's democratic convention in philadelphia. obama went on to say: "he's the son of a teacher and an iron worker who's always got working families on his mind. he spent nearly two decades and specialized in representing people who had been denied fair access to housing just because of what they looked like, or because they they had a disability. and when a gunman killed 32 people on the campus of virginia tech, tim knew he had a responsibility as governor to offer more than thoughts and prayers to the community he mourned with -- and as a gun owner, he stood up to the gun lobby on their behalf." kaine, obama concludes, is a "true progressive" who "will make a great vice president," and "you just can't find anyone with a bad thing to say about him." the email was sent by the hillary victory fund, the joint fundraising commitee between clinton's campaign and the democratic national committee.	ˈprɛzɪdənt ˈbɑrək ˌoʊˈbɑmə heɪld sɛn. tɪm ˈɑptɪˌmɪzəm. ˌeɪˈpi ˈfoʊˌtoʊ ˌoʊˈbɑmə: keɪn ɪz ə 'prəˈgrɛsɪv ˈfaɪtər' ˈhɪləri ˈklɪntən naʊ həz ə ˈrənɪŋ meɪt ɪn vərˈʤɪnjə sɛn. tɪm keɪn, ənd ˈprɛzɪdənt ˈbɑrək ˌoʊˈbɑmə ɪz ɔn bɔrd wɪθ ðə pɪk. ɪn ə ˌdɛməˈkrætɪk ˈpɑrti ˈfənˌdreɪsɪŋ iˈmeɪl sɛnt ˈəndər ˌoʊˈbɑməz neɪm ˈsæˌtɪˌdeɪ ˈmɔrnɪŋ, ðə ˈprɛzɪdənt hips preɪz ɔn keɪn, hu ˈɔlsoʊ meɪd ˌoʊˈbɑməz ˌviˈpi ɪn 2008 ˈpɪkɪŋ aʊt ˈmoʊmənts laɪk ðə vərˈʤɪnjə tɛk ˈmæsəkər tɪ ʃoʊ ðə əˈbɪləˌti tɪ stænd əp ənd bi ə ˈlidər. ˈstɔri kənˈtɪnjud bɪˈloʊ "laɪk ˈhɪləri, tɪm ɪz ən ˈɑptɪmɪst. bət laɪk ˈhɪləri, hi ɪz ˈɔlsoʊ ə prəˈgrɛsɪv ˈfaɪtər," ˌoʊˈbɑmə roʊt. ˈklɪntən əˈnaʊnst keɪn ɛz hər ˈrənɪŋ meɪt leɪt ˈfraɪˌdeɪ. ðə priˈzəmptɪv ˌdɛməˈkrætɪk ˌnɑməˈni ɪz ˈskɛʤʊld tɪ hoʊld kæmˈpeɪn ˈræli ɔn ˈsæˌtɪˌdeɪ ɪn ˈflɔrɪdə tɪ ˈfɔrməli ˌɪntrəˈdus ɪm tɪ səˈpɔrtərz əˈhɛd əv nɛkst wiks ˌdɛməˈkrætɪk kənˈvɛnʃən ɪn ˌfɪləˈdɛlfiə. ˌoʊˈbɑmə wɛnt ɔn tɪ seɪ: "hiz ðə sən əv ə ˈtiʧər ənd ən aɪərn ˈwərkər huz ˈɔlˌweɪz gɑt ˈwərkɪŋ ˈfæməliz ɔn hɪz maɪnd. hi spɛnt ˈnɪrli tu ˈdɛkeɪdz ənd ˈspɛʃəˌlaɪzd ɪn ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnɪŋ ˈpipəl hu hæd bɪn dɪˈnaɪd fɛr ˈækˌsɛs tɪ ˈhaʊzɪŋ ʤɪst bɪˈkəz əv wət ðeɪ lʊkt laɪk, ər bɪˈkəz ðeɪ ðeɪ hæd ə ˌdɪsəˈbɪlɪti. ənd wɪn ə ˈgənmən kɪld 32 ˈpipəl ɔn ðə ˈkæmpəs əv vərˈʤɪnjə tɛk, tɪm nu hi hæd ə riˌspɑnsəˈbɪləti ɛz ˈgəvərnər tɪ ˈɔfər mɔr ðən θɔts ənd prɛrz tɪ ðə kəmˈjunɪti hi mɔrnd wɪθ ənd ɛz ə gən ˈoʊnər, hi stʊd əp tɪ ðə gən ˈlɑbi ɔn ðɛr bɪˈhæf." keɪn, ˌoʊˈbɑmə kənˈkludz, ɪz ə "tru prəˈgrɛsɪv" hu "wɪl meɪk ə greɪt vaɪs ˈprɛzɪdənt," ənd "ju ʤɪst kænt faɪnd ˈɛniˌwən wɪθ ə bæd θɪŋ tɪ seɪ əˈbaʊt ɪm." ðə iˈmeɪl wɑz sɛnt baɪ ðə ˈhɪləri ˈvɪktəri fənd, ðə ʤɔɪnt ˈfənˌdreɪsɪŋ kɑˈmɪti bɪtˈwin ˈklɪntənz kæmˈpeɪn ənd ðə ˌdɛməˈkrætɪk ˈnæʃənəl kəˈmɪti.

after two nights of heated arguments, occasionally descending into farce, the irish parliament voted to permit abortion in limited circumstances, marking a major change in the country's attitude to the morality of reproductive rights. fittingly for two of the hottest days of the year so far, ireland's parliament debated what may be the hottest issue in the county's political history since independence. as temperatures reached 80 degrees during the day, the heat went on into the night in parliament at least as lawmakers discussed the protection of life during pregnancy bill. the bill passed by 127 votes to 31 and will now be sent to ireland's senate for further discussion largely a formality, as the senate lacks the power to reject the bill. but despite the overwhelming majority, the vote has fractured irish politics, opening serious divisions inside ireland's two most significant parties, conservative fine gael and centrist fianna fáil, and change could be coming to the usually static irish political landscape. the bill includes provisions for abortion if a woman's life is threatened by pregnancy, including by suicide if a panel of psychiatrists judges the threat to be real. it also prescribes a jail term of 14 years for anyone procuring or performing an abortion obtained under false claims. campaigners are unimpressed. made a failed, last-minute bid to challenge the bill in the courts, while campaigners, while welcoming the law change, say the move is insufficient. "this legislation is not and can not be a viable long term solution to the issue of abortion in ireland," says ahern of choice ireland. malta is now the sole european union member state that entirely bans abortion, though ireland and poland still have restrictive regimes. some 166 amendments were discussed and rejected over the course of two nights of heated debate. a final vote was due before saturday, but in the end occurred just after midnight last night. deep divisions but the battlefield is strewn with casualties: irish politics is now in disarray as divisions have opened across the board. five government lawmakers defied their party, which demanded unanimous support for the bill, and voted against in the process losing their membership of the governing fine gael parliamentary group. one, junior minister lucinda creighton, lost her ministry as a result of voting against the government on an amendment. ms. creighton was widely viewed as a rising star and potential first female prime minister of ireland. a single fine gael lawmaker was not present to vote. two fine gael members who had been expected to defy orders in the end voted with the government. one, michelle mulherin, made a pointed speech in parliament, saying: "i am now faced with either supporting the bill or being booted out of the party, my party. and i am not going to allow myself to be booted out so supporting this legislation." the junior government coalition partner, labour, is unanimously in favor of the change in law, save for one member who accidentally voted against the party whip on an amendment last night amid chaotic scenes. among opposition parties there is division. socialist republican party sinn supports the bill, albeit with one member defecting. centrist party fianna fáil, which headed the last government, is divided on the issue, and did not impose a party line. ireland's lawmakers, who uniformly support women's right to choose, joined with in rejecting the bill, doing so on the basis that it doesn't go far enough. socialist party leader joe higgins described the bill as a "betrayal of women." by their own reckoning, campaigners say there are votes up for grabs at the next election. opinion polls suggest the overwhelming majority of irish people support the bill, but not abortion-on-demand. tragic history tensions have been inflamed by the death of old halappanavar, who died in an irish hospital in october 2012 after a miscarriage. she had requested an abortion, but was refused. an inquest found she died of septic shock. mr. former socialist colleague and clare daly, a leading campaigner who has submitted two private members' bills on abortion to parliament, says the law makes abortions more difficult to obtain, not less. “in the absence of a referendum to repeal article of the constitution for which we call we were willing to support legislation in line with the x case ruling of 1992. this bill however, will put more obstacles in the way of access to abortions than are required by the constitution," she said. get the monitor stories you care about delivered to your inbox. by signing up, you agree to our privacy policy article of ireland's constitution, also known as the eighth amendment, is a rule recognizing: "the right to life of the unborn and, with due regard to the equal right to life of the mother". it was introduced in 1983 after a bitter referendum campaign, with campaigners supporting and campaigners against. the 1992 x case ruling interpreted the amendment as allowing abortion when a woman's life was threatened by the pregnancy, including by threat of suicide. the judgement came after ms. x, a girl who became pregnant after being raped, sought permission to travel abroad for an abortion. she was initially sequestered by the state before the judgement came down. ms. x later miscarried.	ˈæftər tu naɪts əv ˈhitɪd ˈɑrgjəmənts, ɔˈkeɪʒənəˌli dɪˈsɛndɪŋ ˈɪntu fɑrs, ðə ˈaɪrɪʃ ˈpɑrləmɛnt ˈvoʊtɪd tɪ ˈpərˌmɪt

get our daily newsletter upgrade your and get our daily dispatch and editor's picks. apart from being famous and influential, hu jintao, david cameron, warren buffett and dominique do not obviously have a lot in common. so it tells you something about the breadth of global concerns about inequality that china's president, britain's prime minister, america's man and the head of the international monetary fund have all worried, loudly and publicly, about the dangers of a rising gap between the rich and the rest. mr hu puts the reduction of income disparities, particularly between china's urban elites and its rural poor, at the centre of his pledge to create a “harmonious society”. mr cameron has said that more unequal societies do worse “according to almost every indicator”. mr buffett has become a crusader for a higher inheritance tax, arguing that america risks an entrenched without it. and mr argues for a new global growth model, claiming that gaping income gaps threaten social and economic stability. many others seem to share their concerns. a new survey by the world economic forum, whose annual gathering of bigwigs in davos begins on january 26th, says its members see widening economic disparities as one of the two main global risks over the next decade (alongside failings in global governance). the debate about inequality is an old one. but in the wake of a financial crisis that is widely blamed on wall street fat cats, from which the richest have rebounded fastest, and ahead of cuts that will hit the poor hardest, its tone has changed. for much of the past two decades the prevailing view among the world's policy it the davos that inequality itself was less important than ensuring that those at the bottom were becoming better-off. tony blair, a labour predecessor of mr cameron's, embodied that attitude. his new labour party was famously said to be “intensely relaxed” about the millions earned by david beckham (a footballer) provided that child poverty fell. now the focus is on inequality itself, and its supposedly pernicious consequences. one strand of argument, by “the spirit level”, a book that caused a stir in britain, suggests that countries with greater disparities of income fare worse on all manner of social indicators, from higher murder rates to lower life expectancy. a second thread revisits the macroeconomic consequences of income disparities. several prominent economists now reckon that inequality was a root cause of the financial crisis: politicians tried to counter the growing gap between rich and poor by encouraging poorer folk to take on more credit (see article). a third argument is that inequality perverts politics, with wall street's influence in washington often cited as exhibit a of the unhealthy clout of a elite. if these arguments are right, there might be a case for some fairly radical responses, especially a greater focus on redistribution. in fact, much of the recent about widening inequality is based on sloppy thinking. the old davos consensus of boosting growth and combating poverty is still a better guide to good policy. rather than a sweeping assault on inequality itself, policymakers would do better to take on the market distortions that often lie behind the most galling income gaps, and which also impede economic growth. begin with the facts about inequality. globally, the gap between the rich and the poor has actually been narrowing, as poorer countries are growing faster. nor is there a monolithic trend within countries (see article). in latin america, long home to the world's most unequal societies, many the biggest, become a bit more equal, as governments have boosted the incomes of the poor with fast growth and an overhaul of public spending to improve the social (but not by raising tax rates for the rich). the gap between rich and poor has risen in other emerging economies (notably china and india) as well as in many rich countries (especially america, but also in places with a reputation for being more egalitarian, such as germany). but the reasons for this differ. in china inequality has a lot to do with the system of residency permits, which limits internal migration to the towns; by some measures inequality has peaked as rural labour becomes more scarce. in america income inequality began to widen in the largely because the poor fell behind those in the middle. more recently, the shift has been overwhelmingly due to a rise in the share of income going to the very highest 1% of earners and those working in the financial sector. many americans are seeing their living standards stagnate, but the gap between most of them has not changed all that much. the links between inequality and the ills attributed to it are often weak. for instance, some of the findings in “the spirit level” were distorted by outliers: strip out america's high murder rate (which many would blame on guns, not inequality) or japan's longevity (diet, not equality), and flatter societies no longer look so much healthier. as for the link to the financial crisis, the timing is dodgy: america's poor fell behind in the, the credit bubble took off two decades later. these nuances suggest that rather than fretting about inequality itself, policymakers need to differentiate between its causes and focus on ways to increase social mobility. a global market offers far bigger returns to those at the top of their game, be they authors, lawyers or fund managers. modern technology favours the skilled. these economic changes are themselves often reinforced by social ones: educated men now tend to marry educated women. the result of all this, as our special report this week shows, is the rise of a global elite. at heart, this is a process; but not always. rules and institutions are often rigged in ways that limit competition and favour insiders at the expense both of growth and equality. the rules can be blatantly unfair: witness china's limits to migration, which keep the poor in the countryside. or they can involve more subtle distortions: look at the way that powerful teachers' unions have stopped poorer americans getting a good education, or the implicit “too big to fail” system that encouraged bankers to be reckless and left the rest with the tab. these are very different problems, but they all lead to wider inequality, fewer rungs in the ladder and lower growth. viewed from this perspective, the right way to combat inequality and increase mobility is clear. first, governments need to keep their focus on pushing up the bottom and middle rather than dragging down the top: investing in (and removing barriers to) education, abolishing rules that prevent the able from getting ahead and refocusing government spending on those that need it most. oddly, the urgency of these kinds of reform is greatest in rich countries, where prospects for the are stagnant or falling. second, governments should get rid of rigged rules and subsidies that favour specific industries or insiders. forcing banks to hold more capital and pay for their implicit government is the best way to slim wall street's felines. in the emerging world there should be a far more vigorous assault on monopolies and a renewed commitment to reducing global trade nothing boosts competition and loosens social barriers better than freer commerce. such reforms would not narrow all income disparities: in a freer world skill and intellect would still be rewarded, in some cases magnificently well. but the reforms would strike at the most pernicious, unfair sorts of income disparity and allow more people to move upwards. they would also boost growth and leave the world economy more stable. if the davos elites are worried about the gap between the rich and the rest, this is the route they should follow.	gɪt ɑr ˈdeɪli ˈnuzˌlɛtər ˈəpˈgreɪd jʊr ənd gɪt ɑr ˈdeɪli dɪˈspæʧ ənd ˈɛdɪtərz pɪks. əˈpɑrt frəm biɪŋ ˈfeɪməs ənd

according to a duo of australian scientists, aboriginal society has preserved memories of coastline dating back to bc. prof. patrick nunn of the university of the sunshine coast and dr nick reid of the university of new england analyzed aboriginal stories from 21 places around coastline, each describing a time when sea levels were significantly lower than today. “the present sea levels in australia were reached years ago and as such any stories about the coastline stretching much further out to sea had to that time,” “these stories talk about a time when the sea started to come in and cover the land, and the changes this brought about to the way people lived the changes in landscape, the ecosystem and the disruption this caused to their society.” “it’s important to note that not just one story that describes this process. there are many stories, all consistent in their narrative, across 21 diverse sites around coastline.” some of the stories are mythologized, some plain narrative. about half came directly from aboriginal informants, the others relayed through europeans. “anything that goes back thousands of years nearly years in some cases has to be quite exceptional,” prof. nunn said. “it’s a remarkable time period when we consider our own memories and what we can remember even with the aid of books and other information.” “i believe these stories endured that long partly due to the harshness of natural environment, which meant that each generation had to pass on knowledge to the next in a systematic way to ensure its survival,” he said. the results are reported in a paper published online by the journal australian geographer on september 7. _____ patrick d. nunn & nicholas j. reid. aboriginal memories of inundation of the australian coast dating from more than years ago. australian geographer, published online september 7, 2015; doi:	əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ə ˈduoʊ əv ɔˈstreɪljən ˈsaɪəntɪsts, ˌæbərˈɪʤənəl soʊˈsaɪɪti həz prɪˈzərvd ˈmɛməriz əv ˈkoʊˌstlaɪn ˈdeɪtɪŋ bæk tɪ bc. prof. ˈpætrɪk nən əv ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti əv ðə ˈsənˌʃaɪn koʊst ənd ˈdɑktər nɪk rid əv ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti əv nu ˈɪŋglənd ˈænəˌlaɪzd ˌæbərˈɪʤənəl ˈstɔriz frəm 21 ˈpleɪsɪz əraʊnd ˈkoʊˌstlaɪn, iʧ dɪˈskraɪbɪŋ ə taɪm wɪn si ˈlɛvəlz wər sɪgˈnɪfɪkəntli loʊər ðən təˈdeɪ. ˈprɛzənt si ˈlɛvəlz ɪn ɔˈstreɪljə wər riʧt jɪrz əˈgoʊ ənd ɛz səʧ ˈɛni ˈstɔriz əˈbaʊt ðə ˈkoʊˌstlaɪn ˈstrɛʧɪŋ məʧ ˈfərðər aʊt tɪ si hæd tɪ ðət time,”,” ˈstɔriz tɔk əˈbaʊt ə taɪm wɪn ðə si ˈstɑrtɪd tɪ kəm ɪn ənd ˈkəvər ðə lænd, ənd ðə ˈʧeɪnʤɪz ðɪs brɔt əˈbaʊt tɪ ðə weɪ ˈpipəl lɪvd ðə ˈʧeɪnʤɪz ɪn ˈlænˌskeɪp, ðə ˈikoʊˌsɪstəm ənd ðə dɪsˈrəpʃən ðɪs kɔzd tɪ ðɛr society.”.” ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt tɪ noʊt ðət nɑt ʤɪst wən ˈstɔri ðət dɪˈskraɪbz ðɪs ˈprɔˌsɛs. ðɛr ər ˈmɛni ˈstɔriz, ɔl kənˈsɪstənt ɪn ðɛr ˈnɛrətɪv, əˈkrɔs 21 dɪˈvərs saɪts əraʊnd coastline.”.” səm əv ðə ˈstɔriz ər mythologized, səm pleɪn ˈnɛrətɪv. əˈbaʊt hæf keɪm dɪˈrɛkli frəm ˌæbərˈɪʤənəl ˌɪnˈfɔrmənts, ðə ˈəðərz ˈriˌleɪd θru ˌjʊrəˈpiənz. ðət goʊz bæk ˈθaʊzənz əv jɪrz ˈnɪrli jɪrz ɪn səm ˈkeɪsɪz həz tɪ bi kwaɪt exceptional,”,” prof. nən sɛd. ə rɪˈmɑrkəbəl taɪm ˈpɪriəd wɪn wi kənˈsɪdər ɑr oʊn ˈmɛməriz ənd wət wi kən rɪˈmɛmbər ˈivɪn wɪθ ðə eɪd əv bʊks ənd ˈəðər information.”.” bɪˈliv ðiz ˈstɔriz ɪnˈdʊrd ðət lɔŋ ˈpɑrtli du tɪ ðə ˈhɑrʃnəs əv ˈnæʧərəl ɪnˈvaɪrənmənt, wɪʧ mɛnt ðət iʧ ˌʤɛnərˈeɪʃən hæd tɪ pæs ɔn ˈnɑlɪʤ tɪ ðə nɛkst ɪn ə ˌsɪstəˈmætɪk weɪ tɪ ɪnˈʃʊr ɪts survival,”,” hi sɛd. ðə rɪˈzəlts ər ˌriˈpɔrtəd ɪn ə ˈpeɪpər ˈpəblɪʃt ˈɔnˌlaɪn baɪ ðə ˈʤərnəl ɔˈstreɪljən ʤiˈɑgrəfər ɔn sɛpˈtɛmbər 7 ˈpætrɪk di. nən ˈnɪkələs ʤeɪ. rid. ˌæbərˈɪʤənəl ˈmɛməriz əv ˌɪnənˈdeɪʃən əv ðə ɔˈstreɪljən koʊst ˈdeɪtɪŋ frəm mɔr ðən jɪrz əˈgoʊ. ɔˈstreɪljən ʤiˈɑgrəfər, ˈpəblɪʃt ˈɔnˌlaɪn sɛpˈtɛmbər 7 2015 dɔɪ:
while many security experts have been pointing the blame at china for the recent wave of on u.s. companies and newspapers, bloomberg reports that some of the malware attacks actually may be coming from eastern europe. investigators familiar with the matter told bloomberg they believe a group based in either russia or eastern europe is carrying out the high-level attacks to steal company secrets, research, and intellectual property, which could then be sold on the black market. evidence that the attacks may be coming from eastern europe is the type of malware being used by the hackers, which is more commonly used bys than by government spying. also, investigators have tracked at least one server being used by the hackers to a ukrainian hosting company. roughly 40 companies have been victims of over the past several months. these companies included tech businesses, such as apple, facebook, and twitter, and newspapers, such as the new york times, the wall street journal, and the associated press. apple announced today that hackers targeted computers used by its employees, but that "there was no evidence that any data left apple." in a statement, the company said it discovered malware that made use of a vulnerability in the java plug-in, and that it was from a site for software developers. apple blocked java from some of its macs late last month using its tool and citing security vulnerabilities. a report by the new york times yesterday claimed that an "overwhelming percentage" of the on u.s. corporations, government agencies, and organizations came from an office building in shanghai with ties to the people's liberation army. these allegations remain unconfirmed and flatly denied by chinese authorities. the hack on the new york times itself was months long and included the theft of corporate passwords of times employees, as well as spying on personal computers. the attacks on facebook, twitter, and apple were a bit different in that reportedly only a small number of systems were infected and the hackers got in via the java vulnerability. this isn't the first allegation ofs operating out of eastern europe. security firm mcafee labs published a report in december that warned of increasing attacks on u.s. financial institutions from eastern european hackers. dubbed project blitzkrieg, mcafee said the possible attacks would be done with a highly developed trojan that could infect victims' computers, plant software, and allows to steal information and money.	waɪl ˈmɛni sɪˈkjʊrəti ˈɛkspərts hæv bɪn ˈpɔɪntɪŋ ðə bleɪm æt ˈʧaɪnə fər ðə

proposal: safety through standard wallets alex blocked follow following jun 19, 2016 the complexity of handling assets safely in has been exposed by thedao. like to propose a change to to increase safety for applications creators and users alike. the same proposal applies to all smart contract platforms and that can include non turing complete ones. the fundamental issue is that will protect assets of value yet easy to accidentally or purposely include an exploit. use of the exploit rewards the attacker, users, and reduces trust in the overall system. some may disagree but the system is supposed to work for users first and foremost. if it, how are we any different from the existing banking system which care about the destruction caused by systemic failures, by error or design? like a system which i can trust, yes, but also one which protects me. speaking both as a user and an application developer. i’d like to propose that is tooled with standard asset holding and latching contracts (wallets essentially). these contracts would allow: consensus based halt and emergency recovery. edit: up to users whether they trust those providing consensus, who may just be the developers, dao like curators, or formal arbitrators. (note that users are already trusting the contract from the developers wrote and especially early on they be sure of security, regardless of security reviews) per user security controls, e.g. amount, withdrawal address, time, countersigning, recovery options per application security controls for application withdrawals, e.g. proposals, non solo splits, do expenditure, royalties, ‘dividend’ payments future: arbitration all assets should be held in contracts specifically designed to be highly limited in scope and, ideally, mathematically provable. these contracts should be part of the standard toolkit, not just suggestions. as well as the code, a human language intention of the contract should be expressed in full. failure of any of these contracts should then be considered as an acceptable hard fork request since these should be considered as integral as the core protocol. these contracts should also include user wallets, and all of them should be supported by all wallet software. the reasoning behind this is that the assets are the fundamental value that we care about. has provided a wonderful system but clear that incomplete. standard equivalents to hot and cold wallets, where application creators and users can be in control of their security, is something that platforms can do superbly well. this significantly reduces the chance of losses from both deliberately designed exploits and bugs, both of which are a deep concern. as a result of the recent failure and should such contracts be viable technically, i firmly believe they should be a core part of. however, they will always be optional to use so contract authors who do not want those features can continue to operate as they wish. think of it as using at a lower level. anyone using such contracts then truly understands their risks. without them, i fear that generic smart contracts simply cannot be trusted. i also fear that be like where we see thefts galore and can do nothing about it, living in a deeply uncaring world not comfortable with (and most of the world certainly be). by implementing protections within itself we can show the power of software but retain both a human aspect and empower individuals to choose their own security. update: from initial conversations it seems like technically feasible for user controlled assets (ether, tokens) and possibly feasible in a sufficiently for dapps. the latter may only result in template contracts that need minor amends for dapp functionality rather than a fundamental contract with adjustable parameters, but that needs further research. also important to understand that the parameters control the risk. faulty logic and faulty set up can still cause errors but the wallet contract can limit the exposure. it will also be easier to perform security reviews of the use of standard contracts which hold the assets. it may be impossible to predict the logic flaws of surrounding code, but it will be possible to evidence the risk of losses such that a human being can make a decision, including if they trust the arbiters to protect them. the automation of asset transference has to be retained, so about building in safeguards for when safe limits are breached. for example, this could be time based latches for all dapp expenditure over a certain limit. for user wallets, about supporting notions of approval, latches to prevent more than agreed amounts moving per time period, and so on. this means there are also user experience considerations. with standard contracts in place containing a range of features, wallet developers can focus on ui. finally, developers are constantly told not to roll their own crypto. managing assets of value on a should come with similar warnings. you can always do it but you better know what doing. for everyone else, use the template contracts and even they need handling with care.	prəˈpoʊzəl: ˈseɪfti θru ˈstændərd ˈwɔləts ˈæləks blɑkt ˈfɑloʊ ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ʤən 19 2016 ðə kəmˈplɛksɪti əv ˈhændəlɪŋ ˈæˌsɛts ˈseɪfli ɪn həz bɪn ɪkˈspoʊzd baɪ thedao. laɪk tɪ prəˈpoʊz ə ʧeɪnʤ tɪ tɪ ˌɪnˈkris ˈseɪfti fər ˌæpləˈkeɪʃənz kriˈeɪtərz ənd ˈjuzərz əˈlaɪk. ðə seɪm prəˈpoʊzəl əˈplaɪz tɪ ɔl smɑrt ˈkɑnˌtrækt ˈplætˌfɔrmz ənd ðət kən ˌɪnˈklud nɑn ˈtʊrɪŋ kəmˈplit wənz. ðə ˌfəndəˈmɛnəl ˈɪʃu ɪz ðət wɪl prəˈtɛkt ˈæˌsɛts əv ˈvælju jɛt ˈizi tɪ ˌæksəˈdɛnəli ər ˈpərpəsli ˌɪnˈklud ən ˌɛkˈsplɔɪt. juz əv ðə ˌɛkˈsplɔɪt rɪˈwɔrdz ðə əˈtækər, ˈjuzərz, ənd rɪˈdusɪz trəst ɪn ðə ˈoʊvərˌɔl ˈsɪstəm. səm meɪ dɪsəˈgri bət ðə ˈsɪstəm ɪz səˈpoʊzd tɪ wərk fər ˈjuzərz fərst ənd ˈfɔrˌmoʊst. ɪf ɪt, haʊ ər wi ˈɛni ˈdɪfərənt frəm ðə ɪgˈzɪstɪŋ ˈbæŋkɪŋ ˈsɪstəm wɪʧ kɛr əˈbaʊt ðə dɪˈstrəkʃən kɔzd baɪ sɪˈstɛmɪk ˈfeɪljərz, baɪ ˈɛrər ər dɪˈzaɪn?

verizon is getting rid of contract plans, switching its offerings over to plans like and t-mobile did before it. verizon's new plans are all based around shared data buckets there's no single line or family plan. instead, subscribers pay for a specific amount of data and then pay a fee to hook it into the plan. everyone loves access fees! the options include for $30 per month, for $45 per month, for $60 per month, and for $80 per month. adding a to the plan is $20 per month, adding a tablet or hotspot is $10 per month, and adding a is $5 per month. verizon says that larger plans will be available for those who want them; for those who just need a little bit of extra data one month, reports that they'll be stuck paying $15 for an extra gigabyte, though they can always jump up to a new plan the next month. as usual, the pricing is not really friendly or tailored for anyone, but verizon is under the odd impression that it's easier to understand. the plans go live next thursday, on august 13th. current verizon subscribers will be able to hang onto their existing plans or switch over to the new plans "with some restrictions." though doing away with contracts is a big shift, it's something we've seen coming. t-mobile kicked off the trend about two years ago, and began following it recently by dropping contract offerings from sellers. alongside the shift away from contracts is the shift away from subsidized phones, meaning that people are going to need to start buying phones at full price or using carriers' payment plans. verizon has been offering such a plan under the name edge, though it's now decided to rename it "device payment option," which actually is easier to understand.	ˌvɛˈraɪzən ɪz ˈgɪtɪŋ rɪd əv ˈkɑnˌtrækt plænz, sˈwɪʧɪŋ ɪts ˈɔfərɪŋz ˈoʊvər tɪ plænz laɪk ənd ˈtiˌmoʊbəl dɪd ˌbiˈfɔr ɪt. ˌvɛˈraɪzənz nu plænz ər ɔl beɪst əraʊnd ʃɛrd ˈdætə ˈbəkəts ðɛrz noʊ ˈsɪŋgəl laɪn ər ˈfæməli plæn. ˌɪnˈstɛd, səbˈskraɪbərz peɪ fər ə spɪˈsɪfɪk əˈmaʊnt əv ˈdætə ənd ðɛn peɪ ə fi tɪ hʊk ɪt ˈɪntu ðə plæn. ˈɛvriˌwən ləvz ˈækˌsɛs fiz! ðə ˈɔpʃənz ˌɪnˈklud fər 30 pər mənθ, fər 45 pər mənθ, fər 60 pər mənθ, ənd fər 80 pər mənθ. ˈædɪŋ ə tɪ ðə plæn ɪz 20 pər mənθ, ˈædɪŋ ə ˈtæblət ər ˈhɑtˌspɑt ɪz 10 pər mənθ, ənd ˈædɪŋ ə ɪz 5 pər mənθ. ˌvɛˈraɪzən sɪz ðət ˈlɑrʤər plænz wɪl bi əˈveɪləbəl fər ðoʊz hu wɔnt ðɛm; fər ðoʊz hu ʤɪst nid ə ˈlɪtəl bɪt əv ˈɛkstrə ˈdætə wən mənθ, rɪˈpɔrts ðət ðɛl bi stək peɪɪŋ 15 fər ən ˈɛkstrə ˈgɪgəˌbaɪt, ðoʊ ðeɪ kən ˈɔlˌweɪz ʤəmp əp tɪ ə nu plæn ðə nɛkst mənθ. ɛz ˈjuʒəwəl, ðə ˈpraɪsɪŋ ɪz nɑt ˈrɪli ˈfrɛndli ər ˈteɪlərd fər ˈɛniˌwən, bət ˌvɛˈraɪzən ɪz ˈəndər ðə ɑd ˌɪmˈprɛʃən ðət ɪts ˈiziər tɪ ˌəndərˈstænd. ðə plænz goʊ lɪv nɛkst ˈθərzˌdeɪ, ɔn ˈɔgəst 13th*. ˈkɑrənt ˌvɛˈraɪzən səbˈskraɪbərz wɪl bi ˈeɪbəl tɪ hæŋ ˈɔntu ðɛr ɪgˈzɪstɪŋ plænz ər swɪʧ ˈoʊvər tɪ ðə nu plænz "wɪθ səm riˈstrɪkʃənz." ðoʊ duɪŋ əˈweɪ wɪθ ˈkɑnˌtrækts ɪz ə bɪg ʃɪft, ɪts ˈsəmθɪŋ wiv sin ˈkəmɪŋ. ˈtiˌmoʊbəl kɪkt ɔf ðə trɛnd əˈbaʊt tu jɪrz əˈgoʊ, ənd bɪˈgæn ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ɪt ˈrisəntli baɪ ˈdrɑpɪŋ ˈkɑnˌtrækt ˈɔfərɪŋz frəm ˈsɛlərz. əˈlɔŋˈsaɪd ðə ʃɪft əˈweɪ frəm ˈkɑnˌtrækts ɪz ðə ʃɪft əˈweɪ frəm ˈsəbsɪˌdaɪzd foʊnz, ˈminɪŋ ðət ˈpipəl ər goʊɪŋ tɪ nid tɪ stɑrt baɪɪŋ foʊnz æt fʊl praɪs ər ˈjuzɪŋ ˈkɛriərz' ˈpeɪmənt plænz. ˌvɛˈraɪzən həz bɪn ˈɔfərɪŋ səʧ ə plæn ˈəndər ðə neɪm ɛʤ, ðoʊ ɪts naʊ ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd tɪ riˈneɪm ɪt "dɪˈvaɪs ˈpeɪmənt ˈɔpʃən," wɪʧ ˈæˌkʧuəli ɪz ˈiziər tɪ ˌəndərˈstænd.

in the wake of the shutdown bloomberg interviewed,. of entrepreneurial legal studies at harvard and faculty of the berkman center for internet and society. benkler criticizes the actions of the department of justice, which he characterizes as “aggressive.” “what is a surprise is how aggressive the move is, how much it uses extensions of criminal law enforcement and copyright liability to go after and seize assets and people in anticipation of a full trial,” he says. according to the. the shutdown of is yet another example of the copyright industry hampering technological innovation. “when a new technology comes along […] and the way the industries have always made money, the first gut response throughout the century has been; shut down this technology.” as has been demonstrated many times in the past, these lawsuits can kill technologies and companies, the adds. “what’s chilling here is that a company can be served with a one-sided indictment that lists a whole set of and legitimate technological components that lots of other companies use.” “by the time it will be finished litigating whether enough or not it is dead, because these procedures for forfeiture during the trial will kill the company”	ɪn ðə weɪk əv ðə ˈʃətˌdaʊn ˈblumbərg ˈɪntərvˌjud,. əv ˌɑntrəprəˈnəriəl ˈligəl ˈstədiz æt ˈhɑrvərd ənd ˈfækəlti əv ðə ˈbərkmən ˈsɛnər fər ˈɪntərˌnɛt ənd soʊˈsaɪɪti. ˈkrɪtɪˌsaɪzɪz ðə ˈækʃənz əv ðə dɪˈpɑrtmənt əv ˈʤəstɪs, wɪʧ hi ˈkɛrɪktərˌaɪzəz ɛz ““aggressive.”.” ɪz ə səˈpraɪz ɪz haʊ əˈgrɛsɪv ðə muv ɪz, haʊ məʧ ɪt ˈjuzɪz ɪkˈstɛnʃənz əv ˈkrɪmənəl lɔ ɛnˈfɔrsmənt ənd ˈkɑpiˌraɪt ˌlaɪəˈbɪlɪti tɪ goʊ ˈæftər ənd siz ˈæˌsɛts ənd ˈpipəl ɪn ænˌtɪsəˈpeɪʃən əv ə fʊl trial,”,” hi sɪz. əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ðə. ðə ˈʃətˌdaʊn əv ɪz jɛt əˈnəðər ɪgˈzæmpəl əv ðə ˈkɑpiˌraɪt ˈɪndəstri ˈhæmpərɪŋ ˌtɛknəˈlɑʤɪkəl ˌɪnəˈveɪʃən. ə nu tɛkˈnɑləʤi kəmz əˈlɔŋ ənd ðə weɪ ðə ˈɪndəstriz hæv ˈɔlˌweɪz meɪd ˈməni, ðə fərst gət rɪˈspɑns θruaʊt ðə ˈsɛnʧəri həz bɪn; ʃət daʊn ðɪs technology.”.” ɛz həz bɪn ˈdɛmənˌstreɪtɪd ˈmɛni taɪmz ɪn ðə pæst, ðiz ˈlɔˌsuts kən kɪl tɛkˈnɑləʤiz ənd ˈkəmpəˌniz, ðə ædz. ˈʧɪlɪŋ hir ɪz ðət ə ˈkəmpəˌni kən bi sərvd wɪθ ə ˌwənˈsaɪdəd ˌɪnˈdaɪtmənt ðət lɪsts ə hoʊl sɛt əv ənd ləˈʤɪtəmət ˌtɛknəˈlɑʤɪkəl kəmˈpoʊnənts ðət lɑts əv ˈəðər ˈkəmpəˌniz use.”.” ðə taɪm ɪt wɪl bi ˈfɪnɪʃt ˈlɪtɪˌgeɪtɪŋ ˈwɛðər ɪˈnəf ər nɑt ɪt ɪz dɛd, bɪˈkəz ðiz prəˈsiʤərz fər ˈfɔrfəʧər ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə traɪəl wɪl kɪl ðə company”*”
there was a moment at this week's democratic convention that seemed to encapsulate the party's stunted vision. it came during the remarks of maria ciano, a colorado woman who presents herself as a former republican distressed by the modern gop. "i still believe in small government, but i no longer believe in the republican party," she said. "mitt romney and paul ryan want the government to have a say in my family planning. they want employers to decide what kind of birth control coverage i have -- or if i can have it at all." it's an interesting that allowed ciano to get from praising small government to defending a new government mandate in just three sentences. but that's not why i'm quoting her. i'm bringing her up because it's useful to think about why employer would have a role in her birth control purchases in the first place. the answer comes in two parts. first, because the law requires a woman to get a prescription before she can buy the pill, and it requires her to get an invasive and frequently unnecessary medical exam before she can acquire that prescription. eliminate those controls, and insurance coverage would be beside the point; the pill would be cheaply available over the counter. second, because changes to the tax code in the and '50s have channeled us into a system where americans overwhelmingly get their health insurance through their jobs. eliminate those incentives, and far fewer people would be dependent on their employers for insurance at all, substantially reducing the relevance of the boss's opinions about birth control. it goes without saying that barack obama has displayed no interest in rolling back the birth control rules. nor has he moved away from the policies that push people into health coverage, or, more broadly, from a system where so many medical services are purchased via insurance in the first place. indeed, his signature accomplishment is a law requiring people who don't have health insurance to buy it. if you can't afford to buy it, you may qualify for financial assistance. that's the democratic party's promise: we won't end the policies that empower big institutions and raise the cost of living, but when they send you the bill we might help you pay. you saw the same idea at work when various speakers this week invoked student loans: the democrats will lend you money for college, but they'll do nothing to end the legally enshrined that makes so many professions off-limits without a degree. and if those subsidies end up inflating the cost of tuition and health care even more...well, then the pols will just call for more subsidies. when democrats invoked "equality of opportunity" this week, that's what they were talking about: government action to help people run through mazes that the government helped erect. i don't expect the to stop looking for ways to offer assistance, but dammit, it would be nice if some of them would take on the mazes instead of hatching plans that'll make them more complex. last week the republicans touted themselves as the party of entrepreneurship while presenting corporate welfare queens like boeing as business heroes. this week the democrats touted themselves as the party of working americans while praising policies that shore up the insurance industry and the collegiate sorting machine (and while offering an argument for the auto bailout that amounted to a defense of corporate welfare). for the next two months, those parties' standard-bearers will tout this election as a stark choice between deeply different alternatives. where are those when you need them?	ðɛr wɑz ə ˈmoʊmənt æt ðɪs wiks ˌdɛməˈkrætɪk kənˈvɛnʃən ðət simd tɪ ɛnˈkæpsəˌleɪt ðə ˈpɑrtiz ˈstəntɪd ˈvɪʒən. ɪt keɪm ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə rɪˈmɑrks əv mərˈiə ʧiˈɑnoʊ, ə ˌkɑlərˈɑdoʊ ˈwʊmən hu ˈprɛzənts hərˈsɛlf ɛz ə ˈfɔrmər rɪˈpəblɪkən dɪˈstrɛst baɪ ðə ˈmɑdərn gop.

photo los angeles after six decades of nativity scenes in santa palisades park in california, there will be no displays of the madonna and child this year. a federal judge in los angeles on monday denied a request from a nonprofit group to temporarily block santa ban on unattended displays in the park. the city council passed the measure on the heels of a dispute last winter over atheist displays that outnumbered traditional christian scenes. “it’s a sad day for freedom of speech and freedom of religion when a very small group of people with an ideological ax to grind succeed in censoring the greatest story ever told,” said hunter jameson, the head of the santa monica nativity scenes committee, which brought the lawsuit. “it’s even sadder when a city government like the city council in santa monica goes along with this effort to trample on freedom of expression.” a series of 14 nativity scenes had been a mainstay in the park since the 1950s. but in recent years, damon, a local atheist who objected to the religious scenes’ presence on public property, began to erect his own signs in the park with messages like “religions are all alike founded upon fables and mythologies,” a quotation from thomas jefferson. advertisement continue reading the main story last year, though, mr. organized a larger protest. he and other atheists applied for dozens of spaces in the park to set up displays. to deal with the increased demand, the city held a lottery; a majority of spots in the park went to the group of atheists, while the churches were left with only a few spaces. photo the fight briefly placed santa monica at the center of a nationwide controversy over religious expression. many of the atheist displays were vandalized, and in june, the santa monica city council voted unanimously to ban all unattended private displays from city parks.	ˈfoʊˌtoʊ lɔs ˈænʤəlɪs ˈæftər sɪks ˈdɛkeɪdz əv nəˈtɪvəti sinz ɪn ˈsænə ˌpælɪˈseɪdz pɑrk ɪn ˌkæləˈfɔrnjə, ðɛr wɪl bi noʊ dɪˈspleɪz əv ðə məˈdɑnə ənd ʧaɪld ðɪs jɪr. ə ˈfɛdərəl ʤəʤ ɪn lɔs ˈænʤəlɪs ɔn ˈmənˌdeɪ dɪˈnaɪd ə rɪkˈwɛst frəm ə nɑnˈprɑfət grup tɪ ˌtɛmpərˈɛrəli blɑk ˈsænə bæn ɔn ənəˈtɛndɪd dɪˈspleɪz ɪn ðə pɑrk. ðə ˈsɪti ˈkaʊnsəl pæst ðə ˈmɛʒər ɔn ðə hilz əv ə dɪˈspjut læst ˈwɪntər ˈoʊvər ˈeɪθiəst dɪˈspleɪz ðət ˌaʊtˈnəmbərd trəˈdɪʃənəl ˈkrɪsʧɪn sinz. ə sæd deɪ fər ˈfridəm əv spiʧ ənd ˈfridəm əv rɪˈlɪʤən wɪn ə ˈvɛri smɔl grup əv ˈpipəl wɪθ ən ˌaɪdiəˈlɑʤɪkəl æks tɪ graɪnd səkˈsid ɪn ˈsɛnsərɪŋ ðə ˈgreɪtəst ˈstɔri ˈɛvər told,”,” sɛd ˈhəntər ˈʤeɪmsən, ðə hɛd əv ðə ˈsænə ˈmɑnɪkə nəˈtɪvəti sinz kəˈmɪti, wɪʧ brɔt ðə ˈlɔˌsut. ˈivɪn ˈsædər wɪn ə ˈsɪti ˈgəvərnmənt laɪk ðə ˈsɪti ˈkaʊnsəl ɪn ˈsænə ˈmɑnɪkə goʊz əˈlɔŋ wɪθ ðɪs ˈɛfərt tɪ ˈtræmpəl ɔn ˈfridəm əv expression.”.” ə ˈsɪriz əv 14 nəˈtɪvəti sinz hæd bɪn ə ˈmeɪnˌsteɪ ɪn ðə pɑrk sɪns ðə 1950s. bət ɪn ˈrisənt jɪrz, ˈdeɪmən, ə ˈloʊkəl ˈeɪθiəst hu əˈbʤɛktəd tɪ ðə rɪˈlɪʤəs scenes’’ ˈprɛzəns ɔn ˈpəblɪk ˈprɑpərti, bɪˈgæn tɪ ɪˈrɛkt hɪz oʊn saɪnz ɪn ðə pɑrk wɪθ ˈmɛsɪʤɪz laɪk ər ɔl əˈlaɪk ˈfaʊndɪd əˈpɑn ˈfeɪbəlz ənd mythologies,”*,” ə kwoʊˈteɪʃən frəm ˈtɑməs ˈʤɛfərsən. ˌædvərˈtaɪzmənt kənˈtɪnju ˈrɛdɪŋ ðə meɪn ˈstɔri læst jɪr, ðoʊ, ˈmɪstər. ˈɔrgəˌnaɪzd ə ˈlɑrʤər ˈproʊˌtɛst. hi ənd ˈəðər ˈeɪθiəsts əˈplaɪd fər ˈdəzənz əv ˈspeɪsɪz ɪn ðə pɑrk tɪ sɛt əp dɪˈspleɪz. tɪ dil wɪθ ðə ˌɪnˈkrist dɪˈmænd, ðə ˈsɪti hɛld ə ˈlɑtəri; ə məˈʤɔrəti əv spɑts ɪn ðə pɑrk wɛnt tɪ ðə grup əv ˈeɪθiəsts, waɪl ðə ˈʧərʧɪz wər lɛft wɪθ ˈoʊnli ə fju ˈspeɪsɪz. ˈfoʊˌtoʊ ðə faɪt ˈbrifli pleɪst ˈsænə ˈmɑnɪkə æt ðə ˈsɛnər əv ə ˈneɪʃənˈwaɪd ˈkɑntrəˌvərsi ˈoʊvər rɪˈlɪʤəs ɪkˈsprɛʃən. ˈmɛni əv ðə ˈeɪθiəst dɪˈspleɪz wər ˈvændəˌlaɪzd, ənd ɪn ʤun, ðə ˈsænə ˈmɑnɪkə ˈsɪti ˈkaʊnsəl ˈvoʊtɪd juˈnænəməsli tɪ bæn ɔl ənəˈtɛndɪd ˈpraɪvət dɪˈspleɪz frəm ˈsɪti pɑrks.
spoiler alert! if you watched this episode of justified, “starvation” written by chris provenzano and directed by michael pressman, stop reading now. as do throughout the season, graham yost takes us inside the writers room. and bonus, he offers a few teases for the april 8 season finale. entertainment weekly: last episode had a physical bomb; this one had emotional ones. start at the beginning. the episode opened with wynn lying to cartel muscle alberto and claiming killed boyd. three things: when we get toward the end of the season, we can sort of end up a script, to a certain degree, because got to get it done in two or three days. provenzano wrote the bulk of the script, but there were a few scenes by other people. this, however, was pure provenzano, and it was his idea to have duffy say, “oh, boyd crowder, yeah, i killed him.” when we read it, it was just like, oh fantastic: it gives us someplace to go, and it ended up being a really important part of the episode because it created the tension later on when boyd sees alberto and alberto sees boyd and like uh-ohhhh. another thing about it was michael pressman, who directed the episode: this was the first time worked with him. [justified exec producer/director] michael dinner knows him from back in the day, but you never entirely know how a new director is gonna work on the show. you know good because done great work in the past on other shows, but is he gonna get it? i remember when we saw the first cut, and the whole notion of starting over black, and just hearing duffy speaking, and then coming in and hanging on duffy before you reveal alberto sitting there it was, “okay, in. this is a great director, and he totally gets the show, and doing fun stuff.” and then the last thing is just jere burns’ performance: we play wynn duffy being kinda above things and in-charge, or at least in control and having a sardonic take on things. and in this scene, you can just see terrified that gonna be skinned alive. alberto gave wynn till sundown the next day to deliver darryl, so wynn called boyd to his to ask for help finding him. was it scripted for wynn to put his arm around boyd like that? you can never quite tell how to read his affection for boyd. i’m sure something they just found on set. you know with him, and one of the fun things we have in writing him and jere has in performing him. i think an appreciation of boyd, more than anything. it all comes off of the scene at the end of last season where he says, “we’re survivors.” something about that in boyd that he appreciated. raylan, tim, and rachel interrupted that meeting to start squeezing wynn and boyd in their own search for darryl. tim [olyphant] was looking for various examples that we could show of them putting the squeeze on both boyd and wynn, and doing a basic cable show in seven days, and i said, “tim, probably gonna be able to just shoot one.” (laughs) we heard about all these other things that marshals will do. if they know that a restaurant is owned by bad guys, well, just start eating there and have cops eating there all the time to dry up the business. obviously pulling licenses and doing anything that they can in terms of the legal status of an operation and taking it down. we thought, just tow the. are we going to see the again? fans are attached to it. we will see the again. look, your spoiler for this phone call. we’ve talked a lot in these over the years about the fact that you have and boyd together a ton because after all gone down, should bring him in. now seeing play that card, threatening to use file. were you saving that for this point in the series, leading into the final season? we headed in that direction, and see in the finale why. but yeah, reigniting, restating, the central relationship of the series and the conflict between the two of them…. funny how things change, and yet they. from the very beginning of the season, we liked the idea that boyd would get into bed with the and realize it was a huge mistake, and that would be after the and boyd would try to help get the boiling down to darryl specifically. what we originally thought might be a couple of episodes turned out to be one. then the other change that happened was that it work out for boyd. just where we got to by the end of the season. darryl came looking for “pecker” at the hotel room and beat mikey until he revealed that guys had hidden the dope. first, talk about wynn sweetly giving mikey water. yeah. not how it was scripted. the way provenzano scripted it, he actually had wynn duffy sitting on the couch cradling head in his lap. and it was just like, yeah, too far. but the same intent was there, that he cares very much for mike. boyd came up with the idea to lead darryl, the marshals, and the cartel all to the dope. he walked into the marshals office like, “your savior has arrived,” and told that he wanted a clean slate in exchange for helping them catch darryl with the heroin. the first step was getting carl and caleb to tell darryl where the dope was but not make it seem too easy. caleb taking a bullet in the knee and yelling, “this is the worst job in the world!” so great. that was a pitch early on in the break of the episode. we thought that would be an act out [leading into a commercial break], and it turned out to be. knowing everyone was looking for him, darryl a distraught wendy into going to pick up the dope. she came to her senses and decided not to touch the drugs, but even though she walked out empty-handed, the marshals grabbed her on suspicion. plan b was boyd wearing a wire and trying to get darryl to admit he shot art on tape. boyd was against it “i look good wearin’ a lot of things, but a wire one of ’em” but he agreed once he saw albert cruise by and spot him. that evolved. in the first draft, was pushing for boyd to wear a wire right from the beginning, and boyd said no and came up with this alternate plan: get him for drugs and maybe you can squeeze him with that. and then the decision was made to save the wire for that scene. it worked fine, but the notion of seeing alberto being the thing that gets boyd onboard came fairly late in the game, and it was a combination of tim, walton, and chris. boyd arranged to take the dope to darryl at audrey’s, where dewey had returned to say goodbye to his whore friends again. back up to him stealing gas from that woman to get there and his line, “if just gonna be a minute, you mind if i run in and take a s—?” [executive producer] fred golan really thought it was too crude, and i kinda sided with him, but on the other hand, we give the writer, and the director, and the actors a lot of leeway. they thought it would work and it would be funny, and it ended up being really funny. so often, the things fans think of as “so justified” are the things you guys have debated about. oh yeah, been the way right from the beginning. just afraid of making him too ridiculous, or of any moment being too ludicrous. part of the little edge that we have to walk.	ˈspɔɪlər əˈlərt! ɪf ju wɔʧt ðɪs ˈɛpɪˌsoʊd əv ˈʤəstəˌfaɪd, ““starvation”” ˈrɪtən baɪ krɪs ˌproʊvɛnˈzɑnoʊ ənd dɪˈrɛktɪd baɪ ˈmaɪkəl ˈprɛsmən, stɑp ˈrɛdɪŋ naʊ. ɛz du θruaʊt ðə ˈsizən, græm joʊst teɪks ˈjuˈɛs ˌɪnˈsaɪd ðə ˈraɪtərz rum. ənd ˈboʊnəs, hi ˈɔfərz ə fju ˈtizɪz fər ðə ˈeɪprəl 8 ˈsizən fəˈnæli. ˌɛnərˈteɪnmənt ˈwikli: læst ˈɛpɪˌsoʊd hæd ə ˈfɪzɪkəl bɔm; ðɪs wən hæd ˈiˌmoʊʃənəl wənz. stɑrt æt ðə bɪˈgɪnɪŋ. ðə ˈɛpɪˌsoʊd ˈoʊpənd wɪθ wɪn laɪɪŋ tɪ kɑrˈtɛl ˈməsəl ælˈbərtoʊ ənd ˈkleɪmɪŋ kɪld bɔɪd. θri θɪŋz: wɪn wi gɪt təˈwɔrd ðə ɛnd əv ðə ˈsizən, wi kən sɔrt əv ɛnd əp ə skrɪpt, tɪ ə ˈsərtən dɪˈgri, bɪˈkəz gɑt tɪ gɪt ɪt dən ɪn tu ər θri deɪz. ˌproʊvɛnˈzɑnoʊ roʊt ðə bəlk əv ðə skrɪpt, bət ðɛr wər ə fju sinz baɪ ˈəðər ˈpipəl. ðɪs, ˌhaʊˈɛvər, wɑz pjʊr ˌproʊvɛnˈzɑnoʊ, ənd ɪt wɑz hɪz aɪˈdiə tɪ hæv ˈdəfi seɪ, ““oh, bɔɪd ˈkraʊdər, jæ, aɪ kɪld him.”.” wɪn wi rɛd ɪt, ɪt wɑz ʤɪst laɪk, oʊ fænˈtæstɪk: ɪt gɪvz ˈjuˈɛs ˈsəmˌpleɪs tɪ goʊ, ənd ɪt ˈɛndɪd əp biɪŋ ə ˈrɪli ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt pɑrt əv ðə ˈɛpɪˌsoʊd bɪˈkəz ɪt kriˈeɪtɪd ðə ˈtɛnʃən ˈleɪtər ɔn wɪn bɔɪd siz ælˈbərtoʊ ənd ælˈbərtoʊ siz bɔɪd ənd laɪk uh-ohhhh. əˈnəðər θɪŋ əˈbaʊt ɪt wɑz ˈmaɪkəl ˈprɛsmən, hu dɪˈrɛktɪd ðə ˈɛpɪˌsoʊd: ðɪs wɑz ðə fərst taɪm wərkt wɪθ ɪm.

abu dhabi grand prix, marina, 14 november race: on bbc one, red button, online and radio 5 live sports extra by david ornstein red bull's sebastian produced a stunning qualifying lap to take pole position at the abu dhabi grand prix. the german is one of four men in contention for the title ahead of sunday's race. lewis hamilton, who still has a slim chance of taking the crown, will start in second and championship leader fernando alonso of ferrari third.'s mark webber, second in the standings, is fifth on the grid, a place behind jenson button. if the drivers finish the race in the same positions as they start, alonso will clinch a third formula 1 world title and his first for ferrari. jonathan blog hamilton's role could be a significant the spaniard leads the standings on 246 points, eight clear of webber, 15 ahead of and 24 in front of hamilton. there are 25 points for a win, 18 for second, 15 for third, 12 for fourth, 10 for fifth, eight for sixth, six for seventh, four for eighth, two for ninth and one for. "i pushed on the limit and third place is great," stated alonso, bidding to become the ninth and youngest triple world champion. "it was a good qualifying for us, and we just need one more day in perfection. "we are more or less in the same situation as two days ago, we know there are four contenders. everything is down to sunday's race. "anything can happen, as we saw in the last two races. we need to complete the 55 laps without any problems, it will be a tough and long race for everyone but we are in a very strong position." since winning the belgian grand prix in august, hamilton has seen his title challenge fade away but mclaren, aided by a modified rear wing, seem to have found some pace. "i'm very happy, this is the highest i've been for a long time, the car felt great and i got 100% out of the car and more," said the englishman. "we can both push very hard to get second in the constructors' championship but i am going out to win the race. "the team have done some great things to improve certain parts of the car and it has enabled us to be much more competitive. we have nothing to lose and everything to gain." alonso arrived at the marina circuit in control of his own destiny but the real momentum was with, who won in brazil last sunday and set the fastest time in saturday's third and final free practice session. webber also had cause for optimism after he was only a tenth of a second slower than in, while hamilton showed that his car was more competitive than in recent races by topping the in friday practice. title battle explained 1 alonso 2 webber 3 4 hamilton if alonso wins or is second, he is champion if webber wins, he wins the title if alonso is third or worse if wins and alonso is or worse, wins the title if hamilton wins, alonso must fail to score, webber be or worse and or worse for hamilton to win the title it made for an intriguing backdrop and within minutes of the big four heading out for the first part of qualifying it was clear there was little to chose between them. and hamilton looked particularly sharp as they traded fastest laps, with alonso and webber snapping at their heels. alonso managed a lap of to jump above (1:40.318) and hamilton (1:40.335) - and with webber recording a, the quartet were separated by just five tenths of a second. times continued to improve at the start of and 2009 champion button, whose title defence ended in brazil, set the quickest lap of the day thus far with a. the red bulls of webber and were the first of the leading protagonists to switch from the harder prime tyres to the softer option variant and leaped to the head of the (1:39.874) on his first flying lap. their rivals followed suit by opting for a tyre change and all made it through to the shootout, but no-one could match for sheer pace. and so to the pulsating pressure cooker of a session that was. hamilton (1:39.582) and button (1:39.823) were the first to make a move, with alonso, his ferrari felipe massa and rubens of williams in close proximity. but soon emerged from the pits of the pits to destroy his rivals, posting a on his first flying lap, before going just under a tenth quicker on his second (1:39.394). hamilton, alonso, button and webber took it in turns to try and usurp the german but to no avail, and the smile that adorned his face on climbing out of the cockpit spoke volumes. "we start from pole, it couldn't be better," said a beaming after clinching his pole of the season. "it was a tough qualifying session. it was very close with lewis especially. we are looking forward to tomorrow and seeing what happens. "i saw some statistics the other day about how many poles some drivers had got in a season, guys like senna, alain prost and michael michael - they are all up there. "with 10 poles i am not at the top so maybe we could work on that next year. but 10 poles in qualifying in one season is a great effort and shows how good the car is." meanwhile, hamilton and massa will not be punished for an incident which occurred in. hamilton, on an out lap, cut across massa, who was on a timed lap, on the approach to turn five and had to take evasive action to prevent a collision, cutting across the corner and hitting a bollard which contained a television camera in the process. both drivers were called to the stewards' room after qualifying and after hearing their explanations, it was decided no action should be taken. bookmark with: delicious digg reddit facebook stumbleupon what are these? e-mail this to a friend printable version	ˈæbu ˈdɑbi grænd pri, mərˈinə, 14 noʊˈvɛmbər reɪs: ɔn ˌbibiˈsi wən, rɛd ˈbətən, ˈɔnˌlaɪn ənd ˈreɪdiˌoʊ 5 lɪv spɔrts ˈɛkstrə baɪ ˈdeɪvɪd ˈɔrnstin rɛd bʊlz səˈbæsʧən prəˈdust ə ˈstənɪŋ kˈwɑləˌfaɪɪŋ læp tɪ teɪk poʊl pəˈzɪʃən æt ðə ˈæbu ˈdɑbi grænd pri. ðə ˈʤərmən ɪz wən əv fɔr mɛn ɪn kənˈtɛnʃən fər ðə ˈtaɪtəl əˈhɛd əv ˈsənˌdiz reɪs. luɪs ˈhæməltən, hu stɪl həz ə slɪm ʧæns əv ˈteɪkɪŋ ðə kraʊn, wɪl stɑrt ɪn ˈsɛkənd ənd ˈʧæmpiənˌʃɪp ˈlidər fərˈnɑndoʊ əˈlɑnsoʊ əv fərˈɑri θərd. mɑrk ˈwɛbər, ˈsɛkənd ɪn ðə ˈstændɪŋz, ɪz fɪθ ɔn ðə grɪd, ə pleɪs bɪˈhaɪnd ˈʤɛnsən ˈbətən. ɪf ðə ˈdraɪvərz ˈfɪnɪʃ ðə reɪs ɪn ðə seɪm pəˈzɪʃənz ɛz ðeɪ stɑrt, əˈlɑnsoʊ wɪl klɪnʧ ə θərd ˈfɔrmjələ 1 wərld ˈtaɪtəl ənd hɪz fərst fər fərˈɑri. ˈʤɑnəθən blɔg ˈhæməltənz roʊl kʊd bi ə sɪgˈnɪfɪkənt ðə ˈspænjərd lidz ðə ˈstændɪŋz ɔn 246 pɔɪnts, eɪt klɪr əv ˈwɛbər, 15 əˈhɛd əv ənd 24 ɪn frənt əv ˈhæməltən. ðɛr ər 25 pɔɪnts fər ə wɪn, 18 fər ˈsɛkənd, 15 fər θərd, 12 fər fɔrθ, 10 fər fɪθ, eɪt fər sɪksθ, sɪks fər ˈsɛvənθ, fɔr fər eɪθ, tu fər naɪnθ ənd wən fər.

bernie sanders holds a campaign rally at eastern michigan university on feb. 15, 2016. \| getty spring break blues when bernie sanders will need college students the most, they'll be watching and partying. last august, bernie sanders packed people into a pavilion at the university of washington, while more fit and were stuck outside. later in the fall, he won western illinois mock presidential election by a landslide. last week, his campaign opened a local office just off the michigan state university campus, calling it a “beacon of hope” for its supporters. but just one problem for the surging senator: when primary or caucus day arrives in each of these college towns, as well as dozens more from maine to hawaii, many of the students sanders hopes will help carry him to the white house be there. be in cancún. or florida. or back home. story continued below call it spring break blues. this spring break schedule clashes directly with a large swath of primaries and caucuses, a conflict that comes at the worst possible time for sanders, who crushed his rival hillary clinton among young and voters in the exit polls in iowa, new hampshire and nevada. the democratic race is about to enter a stretch where more than half of the delegates will be awarded. but as the voting gets under way, one campus after another is closing down for weeklong breaks. in all, more than half a million college students from 14 states will be on spring break at the same time that the presidential campaign train onto their campuses, according to a politico analysis of the march 5 to march 26 primary and caucus states. for sanders to keep his momentum into april, going to need to turn the college enthusiasm into real live votes. but a lot harder to do when those students have fanned out far away from their classrooms and are on their parents’ couches or partying in new orleans rather than in bangor. “we’ve seen a lot of enthusiasm for his candidacy,” said mitch stewart, a veteran field organizer and strategist from barack 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns. “this is an instance where enthusiasm alone might not be enough.” the list of primary clashes is long, covering some of the upcoming battlegrounds’ largest schools, including the ohio state university, michigan state and the university of south florida. also a problem for sanders in smaller states with large student populations; the university of maine, the university of hawaii and boise state university are all on break when voting rolls around. sanders’ campaign and its student supporters know about the problem and say trying to work around the scheduling conflict by getting word out about it through facebook posts, posters in dorm hallways and by promoting alternative options when available, such as absentee balloting and early voting. they expect that the most enthusiastic backers will stick around school to participate. but easier said than done for many others. “we’re optimistic but realistic,” said elia pales, a michigan state freshman and sanders organizer bracing for many of east students to clear out before the march 8 primaries. there’s not always an easy solution. in idaho, the march 22 democratic caucuses coincide with vacations for students at boise state, idaho state and the colleges of idaho, southern idaho and western idaho. and absentee voting there even an option. the same goes in hawaii, where the march 26 democratic caucuses will come while undergraduates will be long gone from the university of hawaii campus at manoa, as well as at its sister branch in hilo and at university of honolulu. in washington state, sanders supporters are telling college students at the university of washington, western washington university and the evergreen state college that they actually can participate in the march 26 democratic caucuses via absentee ballot. it might not be easy: there are new party rules requiring a signature affirming that the voter is missing for a legitimate reason a short list including religion, military service, work schedule, disability or illness. “we’re going to be pushing that pretty hard,” said mia harvey, a junior at evergreen state college and sanders backer. (spring break is not on the list, but hoping students apply anyway.) “it’s on the honor system,” added david spring, a volunteer sanders organizer from north bend, washington. “there will be no screening of these forms.” deadlines, no friend of the college crowd, are also quickly approaching in some of the other upcoming states. in nebraska, democratic spring breakers from creighton university, wayne state college, nebraska wesleyan university and doane college must request absentee ballots by feb. 24. an online form must be returned by march 2 in maine ifing students want to participate in their democratic caucuses. among the affected schools: the university of maine in and husson university in bangor. in michigan, there are some logistical challenges for absentee voting an issue for students at michigan state, central michigan university, western michigan university, ferris state university and college who be in class for the march 8 primary including a state requirement that voters need to physically go to their city office with an id to request a ballot. “we’re hoping the work done will help minimize the loss of turnout,” said pales, the sanders organizer at michigan state, who has been pleading with his classmates to make the short walk just off campus to vote by absentee ballot. “but only so much more we can do.” for ohio state students, the closest early voting center is a drive from campus, and a one-way ride on the public bus. while open on weekdays during business hours, graduate student and sanders volunteer sarah lukowski noted “that’s when most students have class.” trying to organize car pools and bus rides for sanders backers on march 5, the lone saturday when the center is open before her classmates clear out for spring break. “i know how going to get thousands of people out there,” she said. “we’re going to try our best, but a real challenge.” several other major schools will be dark during a cluster of march 15 primaries: in tampa and the university of west florida in pensacola; the four corners of the illinois state university system: southern, northern, eastern and western; washington university in st. louis and southeast missouri state; duke university and the university of north carolina. on their facebook page, the young democrats have been spreading the word that “nearly all students will be gone!” during the state primary and are urging students to participate in early voting at a nearby church just off campus on march 5. sanders is alone in the 2016 field when it comes to pouring so many resources into winning the college vote, though senior campaign adviser tad devine downplayed the significance of the spring break absences. “i’m not concerned any more about that than i am about 50 other factors that will influence the outcome of the elections in these other states,” he said. while devine welcomed college student supporters, he cited the support among latinos and families to note that sanders is “trying to build a very coalition. not limited to one set of voters.” the republican candidates have the same problem; rand paul was the only one pushing hard on campus. now marco rubio and donald trump vying most for the conservative student vote. the first early test for both will come march 5, when republicans caucus in maine and kentucky, which will be without its students from western kentucky university. vincent harris, who worked as digital director, said if anyone on the republican side is going to be hurt by the upcoming spring break conflicts, it would likely be rubio. but he see many resources going toward the college crowd overall, so their spring breaks will be a little less risky than. “these are grandmas and grandpas that are voting in republican primaries,” harris said. “the last time they were in a fraternity house was during the nixon administration.”	ˈbərni ˈsændərz hoʊldz ə kæmˈpeɪn ˈræli æt ˈistərn ˈmɪʃɪgən ˌjunəˈvərsəti ɔn ˈfɛbjəˌwɛri. 15 2016 ˈgɛti spərɪŋ breɪk bluz wɪn ˈbərni ˈsændərz wɪl nid ˈkɑlɪʤ ˈstudənts ðə moʊst, ðɛl bi ˈwɑʧɪŋ ənd ˈpɑrtiɪŋ. læst ˈɔgəst, ˈbərni ˈsændərz pækt ˈpipəl ˈɪntu ə pəˈvɪljən æt ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti əv ˈwɔʃɪŋtən, waɪl mɔr fɪt ənd wər stək ˈaʊtˈsaɪd. ˈleɪtər ɪn ðə fɔl, hi wən ˈwɛstərn ˌɪləˈnɔɪz mɑk ˌprɛzɪˈdɛnʃəl ɪˈlɛkʃən baɪ ə ˈlænsˌlaɪd. læst wik, hɪz kæmˈpeɪn ˈoʊpənd ə ˈloʊkəl ˈɔfəs ʤɪst ɔf ðə ˈmɪʃɪgən steɪt ˌjunəˈvərsəti ˈkæmpəs, ˈkɔlɪŋ ɪt ə əv hope”” fər ɪts səˈpɔrtərz. bət ʤɪst wən ˈprɑbləm fər ðə ˈsərʤɪŋ ˈsɛnətər: wɪn ˈpraɪˌmɛri ər ˈkɔkəs deɪ əraɪvz ɪn iʧ əv ðiz ˈkɑlɪʤ taʊnz, ɛz wɛl ɛz ˈdəzənz mɔr frəm meɪn tɪ həˈwaɪˌi, ˈmɛni əv ðə ˈstudənts ˈsændərz hoʊps wɪl hɛlp ˈkɛri ɪm tɪ ðə waɪt haʊs bi ðɛr. bi ɪn cancún. ər ˈflɔrɪdə. ər bæk hoʊm. ˈstɔri kənˈtɪnjud bɪˈloʊ kɔl ɪt spərɪŋ breɪk bluz. ðɪs spərɪŋ breɪk ˈskɛʤʊl ˈklæʃɪz dɪˈrɛkli wɪθ ə lɑrʤ swɑθ əv ˈpraɪˌmɛriz ənd ˈkɔkəsɪz, ə ˈkɑnflɪkt ðət kəmz æt ðə wərst ˈpɑsəbəl taɪm fər ˈsændərz, hu krəʃt hɪz ˈraɪvəl ˈhɪləri ˈklɪntən əˈməŋ jəŋ ənd ˈvoʊtərz ɪn ðə ˈɛksət poʊlz ɪn ˈaɪəwə, nu ˈhæmʃər ənd nəˈvɑdə. ðə ˌdɛməˈkrætɪk reɪs ɪz əˈbaʊt tɪ ˈɛnər ə strɛʧ wɛr mɔr ðən hæf əv ðə ˈdɛləˌgeɪts wɪl bi əˈwɔrdɪd. bət ɛz ðə ˈvoʊtɪŋ gɪts ˈəndər weɪ, wən ˈkæmpəs ˈæftər əˈnəðər ɪz ˈkloʊzɪŋ daʊn fər ˈwiˌklɔŋ breɪks. ɪn ɔl, mɔr ðən hæf ə ˈmɪljən ˈkɑlɪʤ ˈstudənts frəm 14 steɪts wɪl bi ɔn spərɪŋ breɪk æt ðə seɪm taɪm ðət ðə ˌprɛzɪˈdɛnʃəl kæmˈpeɪn treɪn ˈɔntu ðɛr ˈkæmpəsɪz, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ə pəˈlɪtɪˌkoʊ æˈnælɪsɪs əv ðə mɑrʧ 5 tɪ mɑrʧ 26 ˈpraɪˌmɛri ənd ˈkɔkəs steɪts. fər ˈsændərz tɪ kip hɪz moʊˈmɛntəm ˈɪntu ˈeɪprəl, goʊɪŋ tɪ nid tɪ tərn ðə ˈkɑlɪʤ ɪnˈθuziˌæzəm ˈɪntu ril lɪv voʊts. bət ə lɔt ˈhɑrdər tɪ du wɪn ðoʊz ˈstudənts hæv fænd aʊt fɑr əˈweɪ frəm ðɛr ˈklæsˌrumz ənd ər ɔn ðɛr parents’’ ˈkaʊʧɪz ər ˈpɑrtiɪŋ ɪn nu ˌɔˈrlinz ˈrəðər ðən ɪn ˈbæŋˌgɔr. sin ə lɔt əv ɪnˈθuziˌæzəm fər hɪz candidacy,”,” sɛd mɪʧ stuərt, ə ˈvɛtərən fild ˈɔrgəˌnaɪzər ənd ˈstrætɪʤɪst frəm ˈbɑrək 2008 ənd 2012 ˌprɛzɪˈdɛnʃəl kæmˈpeɪnz. ɪz ən ˈɪnstəns wɛr ɪnˈθuziˌæzəm əˈloʊn maɪt nɑt bi enough.”.” ðə lɪst əv ˈpraɪˌmɛri ˈklæʃɪz ɪz lɔŋ, ˈkəvərɪŋ səm əv ðə ˈəpˌkəmɪŋ battlegrounds’’ ˈlɑrʤəst skulz, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ðə oʊˈhaɪoʊ steɪt ˌjunəˈvərsəti, ˈmɪʃɪgən steɪt ənd ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti əv saʊθ ˈflɔrɪdə. ˈɔlsoʊ ə ˈprɑbləm fər ˈsændərz ɪn sˈmɔlər steɪts wɪθ lɑrʤ ˈstudənt ˌpɑpjəˈleɪʃənz;

chinese president xi said thursday that his country will "absolutely not permit war or chaos" to break out on the korean peninsula. addressing a group of asian foreign ministers, the comments were made in the context of a wider exploration of china's foreign policy. president xi also expressed commitment to "comprehensively and fully" implement sanctions targeting north korea's missile and nuclear programs, as mandated by the united nations. the remarks come amid a growing wave of activity by north korea that many regard as provocative. comment also represents a departure from previous chinese statements that appeared less bellicose but observers question whether they really signal a substantial change in policy. "the big question here is: to whom was this directed?" michael, an expert on relations at the american enterprise institute, says in a phone interview with the christian science monitor. there are four likely candidates, as dr. sees it: north korea, south korea, the united states, and japan. for south korea, the message might be not to corner its northern neighbor with excessive pressure or threats. for japan, it could be more along the lines of a warning to keep away, to let china deal with its precocious ally in pyongyang as well as other security concerns in the region, particularly in light of prime minister efforts to boost the japanese military. the most likely intended recipients, however, are north korea itself and the united states, according to david, a senior vice president at the institute. "china is amplifying a point it's made over the years to north korea, essentially saying, 'look, we really don't want to see a conflagration on the korean peninsula,'" dr. tells the monitor in a phone interview. but it's also aimed at the us, he says: a reminder that china takes peace in the peninsula "very seriously," and that any us actions that upset the balance, like terminal high altitude area defense, are also "unwelcome." terminal high altitude area defense (thaad) is a missile defense system that the united states and south korea have been considering with increasing urgency in the face of north korea's recent activities, which include a nuclear test and multiple ballistic missile tests this year. but some analysts find that there is more to be gleaned from statement, even if the fundamental message remains consistent. some point to the timing, in light of comments made wednesday by us presidential candidate donald trump, who spoke of applying "the leverage on china necessary to rein in north korea." while china is certainly the country with the most sway over pyongyang, most analysts agree that it cannot simply dictate decisions to kim jong un and the north korean leadership; it does not have a "magic key" for opening up north korea, as puts it. speaking to many of the region's top diplomats, xi may have seen this as an opportunity to give "a show of strength," to talk in starker terms than he usually does, confident that war on the korean peninsula is still far from imminent. "historically north korea's bark has been much worse than its bite," says. "the likelihood, as they say in china, that he [xi] would have to 'cash the cheque' is pretty low." get the monitor stories you care about delivered to your inbox. by signing up, you agree to our privacy policy but "low" is not equivalent to "non-existent," and using phrases such as "absolutely not permit," as the chinese president did, leaves some analysts wondering what lengths he would go to in backing up that assertion. "i assume it statement] is mainly about not letting north korea launch an attack," says dwight perkins, the harold hitchings burbank professor of political economy at harvard kennedy school, in an email interview with the monitor. "but what if the us, south korea, or japan decided to launch an attack to destroy the nuclear facilities? the us came close in the 1990s. what does xi have in mind then?"	ʧaɪˈniz ˈprɛzɪdənt ʃi sɛd ˈθərzˌdeɪ ðət hɪz ˈkəntri wɪl "ˌæbsəˈlutli nɑt ˈpərˌmɪt wɔr ər keɪɑs" tɪ breɪk aʊt ɔn ðə ˌkɔˈriən pəˈnɪnsələ. æˈdrɛsɪŋ ə grup əv ˈeɪʒən ˈfɔrən ˈmɪnɪstərz, ðə ˈkɑmɛnts wər meɪd ɪn ðə ˈkɑntɛkst əv ə ˈwaɪdər ˌɛksplərˈeɪʃən əv ˈʧaɪnəz ˈfɔrən ˈpɑləsi. ˈprɛzɪdənt ʃi ˈɔlsoʊ ɪkˈsprɛst kəˈmɪtmənt tɪ "ˌkɑmprɪˈhɛnsɪvli ənd ˈfʊli" ˈɪmpləmənt ˈsæŋkʃənz ˈtɑrgətɪŋ nɔrθ ˌkɔˈriəz ˈmɪsəl ənd ˈnukliər ˈproʊˌgræmz, ɛz ˈmænˌdeɪtɪd baɪ ðə juˈnaɪtɪd ˈneɪʃənz. ðə rɪˈmɑrks kəm əˈmɪd ə groʊɪŋ weɪv əv ækˈtɪvɪti baɪ nɔrθ ˌkɔˈriə ðət ˈmɛni rɪˈgɑrd ɛz proʊˈvɑkətɪv. ˈkɑmɛnt ˈɔlsoʊ ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnts ə dɪˈpɑrʧər frəm ˈpriviəs ʧaɪˈniz ˈsteɪtmənts ðət əˈpɪrd lɛs ˈbɛləˌkoʊs bət əbˈzərvərz kˈwɛʃən ˈwɛðər ðeɪ ˈrɪli ˈsɪgnəl ə səbˈstænʃəl ʧeɪnʤ ɪn ˈpɑləsi.

the (available on all five major us carriers for around $800, as well as unlocked) is the best phone for a big world. it has a camera for when you have a large family or too many friends to crowd into a standard photo. and it allows you to go farther afield on t-mobile than any other phone, thanks to support for the carrier's new band 71, network. the is a big step forward for, and comes close to unseating the samsung galaxy as our editors' choice, but is ultimately held back by a few little things. a familiar face design-wise, the goes for the curved glass that's been so popular on the galaxy. unlike the, which has a flat front with a metal frame around it, the glass here like it does on other phones. the removable back and battery are, alas, gone. instead, the phone has a shiny, waterproof metal unibody, with a clear plastic coating over the silver back . it meets the -810g spec for resistance to shock, vibration, extreme temperatures, and a range of other conditions. at by by inches (hwd), the phone is shorter, but a little wider, than the galaxy+ (6.28 by by inches). its 6-inch,, screen is comparable with other big phones. using squid, an aspect measurement of area, the has square inches of display, while the iphone 8 plus has, the has, and the galaxy note 8 has. to my eye, samsung's phones look more striking, in part because of their rounded sides. the's metal band makes it look a little more conventional. at ounces, though, it's lighter than the+ (6.10 ounces) or note 8 (6.88 ounces). the screen is oled, with the vibrant colors and perfect blacks that come along with the technology. brightness is similar to a galaxy when set side by side, but it falls far short of the blazing note 8; the difference is especially visible at night. one way the is superior to the samsungs, though, is in the placement of its fingerprint sensor. in traditional fashion, the fingerprint sensor is also the power button, and while it's on the back of the phone, it's far enough down that you don't have to worry about getting fingerprints on the camera the way you do on the and the note 8. there's a port on the bottom, a standard headphone jack on the top, and a card slot tucked in with the sim slot. the phone has wireless charging, and in fact worked with a samsung wireless charging pad i had on hand. the best connection call quality, wi-fi, bluetooth, and on the are all excellent. the earpiece gets nice and loud, and the speaker startled me with its clarity. transmissions when sent from noisy areas successfully blanked out most background noise without making my voice sound robotic. the pulled out slightly better wi-fi range than the galaxy note 8, and bluetooth lets it pair to multiple speakers or sets of headphones at once. folks in areas will be happy to see that unlike apple's iphones, the has an fm radio as well. this is a phone on at&t, t-mobile, and verizon, joining the, note 8, and moto force. speeds in a dense urban area were on par with the. it's unique on t-mobile as the first phone to support the carrier's new, band 71 network, which will enhance the carrier's rural coverage as it gets built out over the next few years. while more band 71 phones will come next year, right now this is the only official option if you want that extended future coverage. lg makes a big deal about its hi-fi quad dac converter), but listening to several tracks on expensive bowers & wilkins wired headphones with it turned on and off, i couldn't tell the difference. part of the issue here is that audio quality through the snapdragon 835 is pretty good already. software and battery the basic specs and performance here are pretty standard for a 2017 flagship phone. the packs a qualcomm snapdragon 835 processor, of ram, of base internal storage (49gb available), and all of the usual bells and whistles. i ran our usual benchmarks, and they were on par with the similarly equipped essential phone. the runs android, not android oreo, although an oreo update will come. it's pretty far from stock.'s default setting eliminates the app drawer for a more approach, although you can bring it back. the company's response to samsung's edge functionality is the much less compelling "floating bar," a software option that pops out from the side of the screen with app shortcuts, music player controls, or quick contacts. you can turn that off, too, if you want. the "secondary screen" feature, perpetually at the top of the display and not overwriting the content you are looking at, was more useful. the battery is disappointing. we only got 4 hours, 46 minutes of streaming video at maximum brightness) on one battery charge, much shorter than with competing phones. the galaxy, for instance, lasts 5 hours and 45 minutes, and we consider that to be merely average. most new phones will get you around 7 or 8 hours. camera lg talks up the's design in its marketing material, hyping the main lens and its rear companion. the front-facing, selfie camera is also wider than your typical camera phone. do the rear cameras live up to the hype? well, yes and no. let's talk about the approach first. is an outlier here. samsung and apple have dual lenses on the note 8 and iphone 8 plus. there's the standard wide lens, the same type you'll find on just about every, and a second lens with a narrower angle of view. the second lens nabs shots of more distant subjects, and also works in conjunction with the main to blur the background behind subjects. the's second lens is wider than wide. its field of view puts it in the same territory as a lens on a camera. the extra coverage doesn't come without some trade-offs. first, the wide camera is fixed focus, so it's only good for subjects a few feet or beyond from the weren't able to run our standard resolution test on the lens because framing our test chart properly put it too close to the lens for it to be in focus. second, you get some curved barrel distortion, about percent. you can see the straight lines of buildings bulging out unnaturally. since i couldn't generate resolution numbers to compare with other phones, i some test images shot with the lens. they definitely don't pick up as much detail as images shot with the main lens (or other phones), but for what it is, it's not bad. details are fairly strong in the center of the can make out details in the brickwork. but you'll want to keep your subjects mostly in the center of the one, it minimizes the effects of the distortion. more importantly, details give way to a heavy blur as you move away from the center and toward the edges and corners of the frame. but you probably don't care too much about absolute resolution and corner quality when you need to get that wide, wide image. if you're part of a big crowd at a concert or sporting event you can snap images that put the viewer right there with you, and you can use it to capture wide action scenes that your typical function just can't get. sure, there's the modest look, but it's the trade-off you make to get the big picture with a device that slides into your pocket. the wide lens sets the apart from the note 8 and iphone 8 plus. which approach is better for you? get the note 8 if you photograph concerts or people from a distance, or if you love shooting subjects with a blurred background. the lens (roughly in terms) does both. go with the if crave an field of view, similar to what you get with a gopro. it's a solid choice for really wide landscapes and photographing groups of people in very tight spaces. see how we test phones now for the main lens, which is billing for its capabilities above all. the lens is backed by a image sensor. doesn't list the sensor size in its specifications, but based on data and the angle of view, it's in the same ballpark as the main image sensor on the iphone 8 plus, and covers a similar angle of view. at low settings the main camera does a fine job resolving detail. it scores lines on our standard sharpness test. that's less than the iphone 8 (2,851 lines) and note 8 (3,025 lines), but you can't make a direct comparison between the scores because the has a sensor, versus the chips used by the competition. in reality, the's extra sensor resolution gives it a slight advantage in resolving tiny details in bright light. but it's not something you're going to notice when viewing images on a screen unless you magnify photos to 100 or 200 percent. in bright light, all of the modern flagship phones we've tested deliver strong results. we've found that scene recognition, exposure, and the other decisions a camera makes to capture an image are more important than specifications when it comes to more difficult situations. for a phone that's typically dim lighting. advertises its lens as being a monster. but let's be real is not that much different than the you get on the note 8 or the you get with an iphone 8, especially when you consider the extremely small sensor and lens size we're dealing with. those numbers mean more when talking about systems with longer lenses. the's image quality is frustrating, especially when you compare it with the note 8, shot side-by-side under the same conditions. take a look at the crop from a nighttime snapshot to the right. the top image was captured with the, the bottom with the note 8. the didn't record the used in its data for some reason, but did record that the shutter speed was 1/13-second, but the note 8 shot was captured at 1000 and shutter speed, so we expect the to be in the same ballpark. despite our model appearing smaller in the note 8 crop (an effect of the difference in resolution), you see more detail in her face. her eyes are visible, her hair color is truer to reality, and there's some color in her cheeks. the is applying some pretty heavy noise reduction here, blurring away all detail, and at the same time applying some garish sharpening that adds weird artifacts, especially visible on our model's nose and eyes. both cameras have optical image stabilization, which helps to make a shot like this possible in the first place, but it's not a panacea. you'll need your subject to stand still for a stabilized shot. our studio lab tests confirm that the's high image quality is way behind what you get with the note 8. i shot our standard test scene at each setting from 50 through 3200. the output is at its best at lower settings, which is to be expected. at 400 we start to see some odd in the fine details of our test scene. most cameras would simply blur these, but it looks like the is trying to pull out some detail that just isn't there. it doesn't look good. at 800 the problem is exacerbated. our test image is a mix of noise, blur, and oddly garbled details. strangely enough, at 1600 and 3200 we see high results that look more like they should— there's rough grain and lack of detail, sure, but it looks right. raw results, processed in adobe cc with default develop settings applied appear softer than the's output. that's typical for a camera, or not. but they don't show the ugly looking details we get with the 400 and 800 output. so you can skirt some issues by opting for raw capture. but you need to develop raw shots to make them everyone has the skill or desire to shoot raw format. that also means that there's a chance that could update the to better handle output in this range. but the inherent sin here, using a sensor instead of a, can't be overcome with a software fix. in the meantime, we continue to recommend the note 8 for android fans (and iphone 8 plus for apple devotees) who want the best performance from a camera in all kinds of light. despite not having stabilization, the camera is a lot of fun to play with in video mode, because you can swap between the standard and lenses on demand: for instance, starting out by looking at an entire playing field in, and then going tight on a few players. video recording is absolutely gorgeous, both in regular and modes. its field of view minimizes jitters, and when you switch to the main camera for video you'll enjoy the benefits of optical stabilization. my videos looked smooth with both lenses. the records video at 30 frames per second, with video going to 60 frames per second. that's similar to the galaxy note 8. there are some cool software tricks you can do: "point zoom" causes the camera to slowly zoom in on a specific part of your image, for instance. you do have to make sure to hold the phone the right way, though: there are stereo on the top and bottom, and if you cover one with your hand, recordings will be muffled. conclusions lg's is a phone for a wide, wide world. as the first band 71 phone, it's the one t-mobile subscribers who aren't thrilled with their current coverage should grab. as a camera phone, it's one that anyone with a big family or a wild group of friends will adore. gigabit and a faster processor makes the a significantly better pick than the, and the camera is something you won't find in either samsung's galaxy line or pixel 2. the's battery life and's aggressive approach to sharpening photos leaves us a little frustrated, though. while the has the specs for terrific camera performance,'s software leads to photos consistently not coming out quite as clear as photos taken with the galaxy note 8 and. that leaves the galaxy as our editors' choice, although the is worth strong consideration if the new t-mobile coverage or camera options appeal to you. jim fisher contributed to this review	ðə (əˈveɪləbəl ɔn ɔl faɪv ˈmeɪʤər ˈjuˈɛs ˈkɛriərz

i’d venture a guess that the average person believes law enforcement has missing persons reports completely under control. sure occasionally we see those amber alerts and we surely notice those “emergency” beeps on our phone when one is blasted out. but did you know there were over missing persons reports filed with law enforcement in the us in 2014 alone?[i] despite sure their best efforts, law enforcement just cannot have the resources available to dedicate the same amount of effort for all+. delays are inevitable, and lost time we have. according to amy dobbs, an investigator with the knox county office, “the first hours are the most critical in an active missing persons investigation. the longer it takes for a case to be reported and become an active investigation, the less likely a positive outcome will occur.”[ii] for children, the first three hours are especially critical because 76% of abducted children who are killed die within that time frame, according to a 2006 study by the washington state attorney office. after a report is filed, worried parents and concerned loved ones can do little apart from desperate pleas on social media, email blasts, and a whole lot of praying. krimeshare gives folks the chance to easily, and most importantly, quickly establish a comprehensive case page for their beloved missing individual. this case page can then be effectively disseminated to the community, social media, and outlets that law enforcement just has no presence. it cannot bring comfort to someone experiencing the fear and uncertainty of a missing loved, but it can give finding them a better chance, even just if a small one. don’t feel like an inadequate facebook post or posting flyers in your neighborhood are your only options! just click the button in the to get started! create professionally-looking, missing case page for free, anywhere! post all the pictures and videos you want* raise awareness within the community efficiently and effectively. recruit everyone on the internet to help find the person. share on social media to get the word out. assist the local media and law enforcement in their efforts with a central and consistent platform. *original submissions are limited to 4 image attachments. please contact us if like to submit more or would like to upload video!

the real estate council of b.c. is investigating a marketing video which advertises "future redevelopment opportunities" that aren't possible under current city zoning and policies. the real estate council of b.c. is investigating a marketing video which advertises “future redevelopment opportunities” that possible under current city zoning and policies. however, the real estate agents behind the ad maintain done their due diligence, noting that the concern at city hall over the video is just a distraction from the issues surrounding the rental stock, in a highly politicized discussion on real estate. “we’ve been writing about this issue for the last decade and city hall does not like us because basically outed them,” said mark goodman of the goodman report, a group specializing in commercial real estate which has been publishing regular reports on the real estate industry since the 1980s. the news of the investigation came just days after carolyn rogers, the superintendent of real estate with the financial institutions commission (ficom) presented a report on behalf of the independent advisory group on real estate regulation in b.c. (iag) to vancouver city council, where the topic of whose duty it is to regulate aggressive and misleading real estate advertising was discussed during question period. rogers is the former chair of the iag. rogers said the ficom “recognizes the concern about aggressive real estate marketing practices, and the real estate council is increasing its focus on industry practices following the report of the independent advisory group.” “we are making arrangements to meet with the city of vancouver to discuss the marketing practices being observed in the city,” she said in a statement. “we look forward to working with them on ways to better inform and protect the public.” the video released by the goodman report showcases an assembly known as gardens, located at 3240 east avenue. the property is the site of a rental complex, housing 140 townhouse and apartment units across 16 buildings. many of those rental suites are three- and family units. advertising material accompanying the video boasts an annual holding income of approximately $1,420,000, and invites interested buyers to “capitalize on extreme demand for new market and rental housing in an established neighbourhood.” in the video block renderings of “future redevelopment opportunities,” resembling condo towers and large buildings, are superimposed onto an aerial view of the property. the video notes that the zoning allows for apartments, townhouses, seniors’ and public housing, retail, service and entertainment establishments, gas stations, public parks, as well as church and related schools. the site featured in the video, which was posted to youtube earlier this year, has been designated and protected for rental housing according to policy developed by the city in the 1970s. it is also part of a group of sites, which includes the nearby champlain mall, all of which are under a single zoning, which has no remaining capacity for further development. “we have screened the marketing video submitted to our offices, and the real estate council has opened an investigation,” said rogers. however, a lawyer representing the goodman report forwarded a statement from the tuesday, noting that no complaint was received. “the information we have from the real estate council of b.c. is that no formal complaint has been received by them with respect to the marketing or advertising of the subject property,” the statement read. according to the city of vancouver, there had been inquiries about the listing, but officials have put out the same information each time. “it’s the speculation associated with it that is inconsistent with our policies and bylaws,” said susan haid, the assistant director of planning for vancouver south, noting the redevelopment suggested in the video in line with the community vision plan or the rental housing stock development plan. the only development permitted under current zoning bylaws would be a requisite replacement of rental housing along with tenant relocation strategies.” “we would not entertain a rezoning of the site. absolutely in contradiction to our policy and bylaws.” haid said if any changes were to occur, it would require “a major community initiative” and planning process be undertaken, something the city has no intention of pursuing at this time. she also said the city was happy to communicate with real estate agents and interested buyers seeking information about property and assemblies for sale in vancouver. “we really encourage and promote getting very accurate information from the city,” she said. mark goodman says his firm has been in communication with the city and that there have never been any concerns expressed about the handling of the listing, which was sold about three weeks ago and is slated to close in the fall. the buyer plans to keep gardens as rental property for the foreseeable future. “we’re not suggesting you can demolish anything now suggesting, in the future, it will make a very nice redevelopment opportunity for market housing, assisted social housing, affordable rental housing all the initiatives that the city wants to see and what the developer is buying,” he said. david goodman, who founded the goodman report, said they were upfront with every interested party who inquired about the property, and directed them to the city for more information on applicable zoning policies. “we have not represented this as a development site, it is a future redevelopment site and frankly, half of vancouver is a future redevelopment site,” he said. of the concerns over the gardens advertising, he called it a “witch hunt,” noting the goodman report has been “critical over the past six or seven years of the housing policies.” “we believe the policies have been regressive and not pro-rental,” he said, noting the 140 rental units at gardens could be 500 or 600 rental units instead, if regulations were loosened by the city. “i think the city like the fact that tweaking their nose.” jon of reliance properties said his company was interested in the gardens listing but eventually decided it was not for them. he said he understands how the video might alarm residents currently living in gardens, but that anyone in the discussion to purchase a dollar property would make no mistakes over something like zoning, and would obviously work with the city on any future development. “we certainly never felt that we were presented with something that was a promise that would lead to an erroneous conclusion,” he said, noting that future redevelopment is not beyond the realm of possibility, as the city has large sites in recent years, to keep up with growing populations. sip@postmedia.com twitter.com/stephanie_ip	ðə ril ɛˈsteɪt ˈkaʊnsəl əv b.c. ɪz ˌɪnˈvɛstəˌgeɪtɪŋ ə

the vision: x-america. well, x would have to be a society without all of those things. to be clear, what we're talking about here is a society which does not have a safety net for the elderly, does not provide medical attention for any of those in need, without equal rights for minorities of race, gender, sexuality, or creed. a nation without separation of church and state. a nation lacking fair wages and safe working conditions, lacking a safety program for economic downturns, or a means for preventing economic crashes. a nation which makes no effort to help it's citizens cope with, or escape from poverty. what kind of nation would this be? it would be the sort of place with no care for the needy, or you and me, run by people who care only for the greedy. it would be a place with poisoned air, poisoned water, and poisoned soil. a place where even the airwaves are poisoned, and "free" speech is a luxury only a few can afford. and of those who could, most would have their interest vested in drowning out the voices of any who would speak against this mess. in this sad place, children would go uneducated, and grow up ignorant. but their ignorance would not be bliss. they would lead lives of thankless toil, and retire not to golden years, but to black and desperate years. they would endure years suffering the pains and infirmities of old age, without the benefit of the the medical care that should be available in the modern age. unable to work anymore, they'd be reduced to the depths of poverty, and have no hope of ever working their way out of it. it would be a place with no democracy, where if you can't pay your way to having your say, you'll have no say at all. and having no say of your own, you'll do what they say. you'll live where they say, eat whatever they say, worship whatever god they say, love only the kind of people they say, and be a second class citizen because they say. i mean, this dysfunctional, dump wouldn't even have mail! remember, this is a subtraction problem, and i think we're starting to see the problem with this kind of subtraction. because if we take away our protections for our elderly, and our young, for our workers, and those who can't work or can't find work, take away the rights of the minorities among us, and the majority of our rights... and, by the way, with all this amending of rights don't think any amendment on the bill of rights is safe. for with the first amendment fallen, the second and those that follow can't be far behind. take away the right to speak our minds and think and believe according to our conscience, our traditions, or our reason, take away the air that's safe to breath, the water that's safe to drink, the food that's safe to eat, and our access to health care, take away our freedom to love who we like in the only life we have to live... then i have to ask, is that any way to live? and that brings us back to our equation. it's clear by now that all this subtraction doesn't lead to a solution, but instead to a bigger problem. but we still have the question, if what we have now is america, what will we have left when we've taken all this away? it turns out the answer really is x. x-america. and that sort of math just doesn't add up. but that's the way today's radically regressive republican party figures it. as of now, we've already seen some of this begin to add up, and if we let them keep on subtracting, all that will be left over will be the sum of all our fears.	ðə ˈvɪʒən: x-america. wɛl, ɛks wʊd hæv tɪ bi ə soʊˈsaɪɪti wɪˈθaʊt ɔl əv ðoʊz θɪŋz. tɪ bi klɪr, wət wɪr ˈtɔkɪŋ əˈbaʊt hir ɪz ə soʊˈsaɪɪti wɪʧ dɪz nɑt hæv ə ˈseɪfti nɛt fər ðə ˈɛldərli, dɪz nɑt prəˈvaɪd ˈmɛdɪkəl əˈtɛnʃən fər ˈɛni əv ðoʊz ɪn nid, wɪˈθaʊt ˈikwəl raɪts fər məˈnɔrətiz əv reɪs, ˈʤɛndər, ˌsɛkʃuˈæləti, ər krid. ə ˈneɪʃən wɪˈθaʊt ˌsɛpərˈeɪʃən əv ʧərʧ ənd steɪt. ə ˈneɪʃən ˈlækɪŋ fɛr ˈweɪʤɪz ənd seɪf ˈwərkɪŋ kənˈdɪʃənz, ˈlækɪŋ ə ˈseɪfti ˈproʊˌgræm fər ˌɛkəˈnɑmɪk ˈdaʊnˌtərnz, ər ə minz fər prɪˈvɛnɪŋ ˌɛkəˈnɑmɪk ˈkræʃɪz. ə ˈneɪʃən wɪʧ meɪks noʊ ˈɛfərt tɪ hɛlp ɪts ˈsɪtɪzənz koʊp wɪθ, ər ɪˈskeɪp frəm ˈpɑvərti. wət kaɪnd əv ˈneɪʃən wʊd ðɪs bi?

it's been almost a year since us district judge otis wright issued a sanction order repudiating the lawyers behind the "copyright trolling" organization known as law. since then, several other judges have pounded with expensive sanction orders. just last week, paul hansmeier, paul duffy, and john three lawyers commonly linked to—were found to be in contempt of a devastating sanction order won by and comcast. today, a minnesota federal judge has issued an order (pdf) going in the opposite direction. us district judge joan ericksen has overturned sanctions that were issued in november by a us magistrate judge in her district, franklin noel. like wright, noel asked his local us attorney to take a look into. he also ordered to pay back the four defendants who settled cases in his court for amounts ranging from $3,500 to $6,000 in addition to their legal fees. that order was stayed while ericksen could consider's objections. now she has considered their objections and found them convincing. noel overstepped his bounds as a magistrate judge, ericksen writes in today's that holdings, a shell company, repeatedly pointed out. "[t]he court did not refer the actions to the magistrate judge to determine whether holdings had committed a fraud on the court," wrote ericksen. holdings consistently objected to the magistrate judge's authority to determine whether holdings had committed a fraud on the court. the magistrate judge had no such authority." ericksen spends a page pointing out that as a federal magistrate, noel isn't what is called an article judge. despite that, noel improperly "relied on the inherent power of the court to determine whether it has been a victim of fraud," and it sounds like ericksen doesn't approve of how he wielded that power. the order also gives short shrift to accusations of forgery and identity theft that have been present in the saga. recall that the shell holdings, which sued hundreds of people, involved copyrights to adult movies. the copyright transfers were signed by john former housekeeper, alan cooper; but cooper later came forward and said his signature was forged. those allegations have been taken seriously by judges, like noel and wright, who talked about lawyers committing "fraud on the court." but today ericksen has found that the holdings copyright assignments are valid, even though she notes that cooper disputes the signatures. the in the copyright transfer for the two movies at issue, popular demand and sexual obsession, is listed as raymond rogers. "that he actually did execute the assignments has not been questioned," notes ericksen. the issue of cooper's signature was "immaterial" when ericksen decided to grant expedited discovery to holdings. the order ends with this sentence, which comes close to suggesting that using a forged document would be fine: holdings’ submission of the agreements with or not, authorized or evince the transfer of the copyrights to holdings did not amount to a fraud on the court." for the-linked lawyers, order will surely be seen as vindication in what has been a difficult year. it could be as: "thanks, but you're not a real judge. and the copyright is valid, even if the signature was forged." listing image by flickr user: nathan	ɪts bɪn ˈɔlˌmoʊst ə jɪr sɪns ˈjuˈɛs ˈdɪstrɪkt ʤəʤ ˈoʊtɪs raɪt ˈɪʃud ə ˈsæŋkʃən ˈɔrdər riˈpjudiˌeɪtɪŋ ðə ˈlɔjərz bɪˈhaɪnd ðə "ˈkɑpiˌraɪt ˈtroʊlɪŋ" ˌɔrgənəˈzeɪʃən noʊn ɛz lɔ. sɪns ðɛn, ˈsɛvərəl ˈəðər ˈʤəʤɪz hæv ˈpaʊndɪd wɪθ ɪkˈspɛnsɪv ˈsæŋkʃən ˈɔrdərz. ʤɪst læst wik, pɔl hansmeier, pɔl ˈdəfi, ənd ʤɑn θri ˈlɔjərz ˈkɑmənli lɪŋkt tɪ faʊnd tɪ bi ɪn kənˈtɛmpt əv ə ˈdɛvəˌsteɪtɪŋ ˈsæŋkʃən ˈɔrdər wən baɪ ənd ˈkɑmˌkæst. təˈdeɪ, ə ˌmɪnɪˈsoʊtə ˈfɛdərəl ʤəʤ həz ˈɪʃud ən ˈɔrdər (pdf) goʊɪŋ ɪn ðə ˈɑpəzɪt dɪˈrɛkʃɪn. ˈjuˈɛs ˈdɪstrɪkt ʤəʤ ʤoʊn ˈɛrɪksən həz ˈoʊvərˌtərnd ˈsæŋkʃənz ðət wər ˈɪʃud ɪn noʊˈvɛmbər baɪ ə ˈjuˈɛs ˈmæʤɪˌstreɪt ʤəʤ ɪn hər ˈdɪstrɪkt, ˈfræŋklɪn noʊɛl. laɪk raɪt, noʊɛl æst hɪz ˈloʊkəl ˈjuˈɛs əˈtərni tɪ teɪk ə lʊk ˈɪntu. hi ˈɔlsoʊ ˈɔrdərd tɪ peɪ bæk ðə fɔr dɪˈfɛndənts hu ˈsɛtəld ˈkeɪsɪz ɪn hɪz kɔrt fər əˈmaʊnts ˈreɪnʤɪŋ frəm tɪ ɪn əˈdɪʃən tɪ ðɛr ˈligəl fiz. ðət ˈɔrdər wɑz steɪd waɪl ˈɛrɪksən kʊd kənˈsɪdər əˈbʤɛkʃənz. naʊ ʃi həz kənˈsɪdərd ðɛr əˈbʤɛkʃənz ənd faʊnd ðɛm kənˈvɪnsɪŋ. noʊɛl ˈoʊvərˌstɛpt hɪz baʊndz ɛz ə ˈmæʤɪˌstreɪt ʤəʤ, ˈɛrɪksən raɪts ɪn ˈtudeɪz ðət ˈhoʊldɪŋz, ə ʃɛl ˈkəmpəˌni, rɪˈpitɪdli ˈpɔɪntɪd aʊt. kɔrt dɪd nɑt rɪˈfər ðə ˈækʃənz tɪ ðə ˈmæʤɪˌstreɪt ʤəʤ tɪ dɪˈtərmən ˈwɛðər ˈhoʊldɪŋz hæd kəˈmɪtɪd ə frɔd ɔn ðə kɔrt," roʊt ˈɛrɪksən. ˈhoʊldɪŋz kənˈsɪstəntli əˈbʤɛktəd tɪ ðə ˈmæʤɪˌstreɪt ˈʤəʤɪz əˈθɔrəti tɪ dɪˈtərmən ˈwɛðər ˈhoʊldɪŋz hæd kəˈmɪtɪd ə frɔd ɔn ðə kɔrt. ðə ˈmæʤɪˌstreɪt ʤəʤ hæd noʊ səʧ əˈθɔrəti." ˈɛrɪksən spɛnz ə peɪʤ ˈpɔɪntɪŋ aʊt ðət ɛz ə ˈfɛdərəl ˈmæʤɪˌstreɪt, noʊɛl ˈɪzənt wət ɪz kɔld ən ˈɑrtɪkəl ʤəʤ. dɪˈspaɪt ðət, noʊɛl ˌɪmˈprɑpərli "rɪˈlaɪd ɔn ðə ˌɪnˈhɛrənt paʊər əv ðə kɔrt tɪ dɪˈtərmən ˈwɛðər ɪt həz bɪn ə ˈvɪktɪm əv frɔd," ənd ɪt saʊnz laɪk ˈɛrɪksən ˈdəzənt əˈpruv əv haʊ hi ˈwildɪd ðət paʊər. ðə ˈɔrdər ˈɔlsoʊ gɪvz ʃɔrt ʃrɪft tɪ ˌækjəˈzeɪʃənz əv ˈfɔrʤəri ənd aɪˈdɛntəˌti θɛft ðət hæv bɪn ˈprɛzənt ɪn ðə ˈsɑgə. ˈriˌkɔl ðət ðə ʃɛl ˈhoʊldɪŋz, wɪʧ sud ˈhənərdz əv ˈpipəl, ˌɪnˈvɑlvd ˈkɑpiˌraɪts tɪ ˈædəlt ˈmuviz. ðə ˈkɑpiˌraɪt ˈtrænsfərz wər saɪnd baɪ ʤɑn ˈfɔrmər ˈhaʊˌskipər, ˈælən ˈkupər; bət ˈkupər ˈleɪtər keɪm ˈfɔrwərd ənd sɛd hɪz ˈsɪgnəʧər wɑz fɔrʤd. ðoʊz ˌæləˈgeɪʃənz hæv bɪn ˈteɪkən ˈsɪriəsli baɪ ˈʤəʤɪz, laɪk noʊɛl ənd raɪt, hu tɔkt əˈbaʊt ˈlɔjərz kəˈmɪtɪŋ "frɔd ɔn ðə kɔrt." bət təˈdeɪ ˈɛrɪksən həz faʊnd ðət ðə ˈhoʊldɪŋz ˈkɑpiˌraɪt əˈsaɪnmənts ər ˈvælɪd, ˈivɪn ðoʊ ʃi noʊts ðət ˈkupər dɪˈspjuts ðə ˈsɪgnəʧərz. ðə ɪn ðə ˈkɑpiˌraɪt ˈtrænsfər fər ðə tu ˈmuviz æt ˈɪʃu, ˈpɑpjələr dɪˈmænd ənd ˈsɛkʃuəl əbˈsɛʃən, ɪz ˈlɪstɪd ɛz ˈreɪmənd ˈrɑʤərz.

two weeks ago, while under a peace bond that banned her from possessing insulin and visiting nursing homes, elizabeth wettlaufer sent an ominous series of texts to a longtime acquaintance. wettlaufer, who had told the acquaintance she was in a mental care facility, texted she might be going to jail because she killed eight people and she had told police. “she said, ‘i am responsible for the deaths of eight people,’ said the acquaintance, a woodstock woman who spoke on the condition she not be named. “i believe her for a minute.” she knew wettlaufer, 49, had experienced tough times and had suffered addiction and mental illness . . . but murder? about a week and a half later, wettlaufer texted again to say she was being “escorted back to woodstock” by police, the acquaintance said. the woodstock woman assumed wettlaufer made up the story. she even told a mutual acquaintance, expressing disbelief. it be true, she thought. if someone confessed to eight killings, she certainly have access to her cellphone. a day after news broke this week that police had charged wettlaufer with eight counts of murder in the deaths of nursing home residents in woodstock and london, the woodstock woman said still rattled. “when my friend sent me a link to the news (about the charges) i was like, ‘oh my god,’” she said. “why i say something? i keep thinking i should have gone to police . . . but i really believe her,” she said. “the whole thing has me so sick.” “it really rattles me, when i start to think about it,” she said. she said she had known wettlaufer, who on her dog and her parents, for years. by wednesday, as questions continued to swirl around the investigation with families of the dead asking what led police to conclude their relatives had been killed, some more than eight years ago reports surfaced that police had been tipped off by staff of a mental health centre in toronto. officials from the centre for addiction and mental health (camh) alerted toronto police that wettlaufer had shared information with hospital staff that caused them “concern,” a police source familiar with the investigation said wednesday. the source said once toronto police received the information from the hospital, officers interviewed wettlaufer and found out that the alleged crimes had occurred outside toronto jurisdiction. that’s when toronto police passed the information to the ontario provincial police and police forces in woodstock and london, said the source, who was not authorized to discuss the case publicly. the investigation into the alleged murders was launched on sept. 29. wettlaufer was arrested on monday and appeared in an woodstock courthouse on tuesday where she was remanded into custody. the nursing home residents have been identified as james silcox, 84, maurice granat, 84, gladys millard, 87, helen matheson, 95, mary zurawinski, 96, helen young, 90, maureen pickering, 79, horvath, 75. lawyers for wettlaufer could not immediately be reached for comment. camh declined to comment, saying they do not disclose information about their clients due to patient confidentiality. however, a peace bond wettlaufer entered into earlier in the month required her to “continue any treatment for mental health” with any physician to whom she was referred by her family doctor or “representatives of.” wettlaufer was also not allowed to possess or consume alcohol and had to obey a curfew and reside in either her apartment or with her parents in woodstock between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., except to attend alcoholics anonymous meetings, according to terms laid out in the peace bond. wettlaufer’s friend, nancy gilbert, told the canadian press that wettlaufer had told her she recently completed her second stint in rehab in toronto and seemed to be in good spirits. a facebook page for a wettlaufer, whose photo, education and employment records match that of elizabeth wettlaufer, makes reference to what appears to be a struggle with substance abuse. “my own voice called to me in the darkness. others hands lifted me when i chose the light. one year ago today i woke up not dead. 365 days clean and sober,” says a post from september 2015. while professionals are generally bound by patient confidentiality requirements, they are obliged in some cases to contact police or other authorities without a consent, such as in cases where they believe a death is suspicious or other important interests are at stake. ontario law, for example, mandates that doctors must contact authorities if they have reasonable grounds to suspect that a resident of a nursing or retirement home has suffered harm or is at risk of harm due to “improper or incompetent treatment or care, unlawful conduct, abuse or neglect.” “physicians have a legal and professional obligation to maintain the confidentiality of patient information,” doctor licensing body says. “there are circumstances, however, where physicians are either required or permitted to report particular events or clinical conditions to the appropriate government or regulatory agency.” wettlaufer is scheduled to appear in court by video on nov. 2. none of the charges have been proven in court. with files from canadian press	tu wiks əˈgoʊ, waɪl ˈəndər ə pis bɑnd ðət bænd hər frəm pəˈzɛsɪŋ ˈɪnsələn ənd ˈvɪzɪtɪŋ ˈnərsɪŋ hoʊmz, ɪˈlɪzəbɪθ ˈwɛtlaʊfər sɛnt ən ˈɑmənəs ˈsɪriz əv tɛksts tɪ ə ˈlɔŋˌtaɪm əkˈweɪntəns. ˈwɛtlaʊfər, hu hæd toʊld ðə əkˈweɪntəns ʃi wɑz ɪn ə ˈmɛntəl kɛr fəˈsɪlɪti, ˈtɛkstɪd ʃi maɪt bi goʊɪŋ tɪ ʤeɪl bɪˈkəz ʃi kɪld eɪt ˈpipəl ənd ʃi hæd toʊld pəˈlis. sɛd, æm riˈspɑnsəbəl fər ðə dɛθs əv eɪt people,’,’ sɛd ðə əkˈweɪntəns, ə ˈwʊdˌstɑk ˈwʊmən hu spoʊk ɔn ðə kənˈdɪʃən ʃi nɑt bi neɪmd. bɪˈliv hər fər ə minute.”.” ʃi nu ˈwɛtlaʊfər, 49 hæd ɪkˈspɪriənst təf taɪmz ənd hæd ˈsəfərd əˈdɪkʃən ənd ˈmɛntəl ˈɪlnəs bət ˈmərdər?

this article from the wall street journal outlines how the is increasingly engaging in domestic surveillance, data collection, and data mining. the result is essentially the same as total information awareness. according to current and former intelligence officials, the spy agency now monitors huge volumes of records of domestic emails and internet searches as well as bank transfers, transactions, travel and telephone records. the receives this so-called "transactional" data from other agencies or private companies, and its sophisticated software programs analyze the various transactions for suspicious patterns. then they spit out leads to be explored by counterterrorism programs across the u.s. government, such as the's own terrorist surveillance program, formed to intercept phone calls and emails between the u.s. and overseas without a judge's approval when a link to al is suspected. [...] two former officials familiar with the efforts said they work by starting with some sort of lead, like a phone number or internet address. in partnership with the fbi, the systems then can track all domestic and foreign transactions of people associated with that item -- and then the people who associated with them, and so on, casting a gradually wider net. an intelligence official described more of a effect: if a person suspected of terrorist connections is believed to be in a u.s. city -- for instance, detroit, a community with a high concentration of muslim americans -- the government's spy systems may be directed to collect and analyze all electronic communications into and out of the city. the haul can include records of phone calls, email headers and destinations, data on financial transactions and records of internet browsing. the system also would collect information about other people, including those in the u.s., who communicated with people in detroit. the information doesn't generally include the contents of conversations or emails. but it can give such information as a location, whom a person is calling, and what web sites he or she is visiting. for an email, the data haul can include the identities of the sender and recipient and the subject line, but not the content of the message. intelligence agencies have used administrative subpoenas issued by the fbi -- which don't need a judge's signature -- to collect and analyze such data, current and former intelligence officials said. if that data provided "reasonable suspicion" that a person, whether foreign or from the u.s., was linked to al, intelligence officers could eavesdrop under the's terrorist surveillance program. [...] the uses its own high-powered version of analysis to search for possible new patterns and links to terrorism. the pentagon's experimental total information awareness program, later renamed terrorism information awareness, was an early research effort on the same concept, designed to bring together and analyze as much and as many varied kinds of data as possible. congress eliminated funding for the program in 2003 before it began operating. but it permitted some of the research to continue and tia technology to be used for foreign surveillance. some of it was shifted to the -- which also is funded by the pentagon -- and put in the so-called black budget, where it would receive less scrutiny and bolster other efforts, current and former intelligence officials said. "when it got taken apart, it didn't get thrown away," says a former top government official familiar with the tia program. two current officials also said the's current combination of programs now largely mirrors the former tia project. but the offers less privacy protection. tia developers researched ways to limit the use of the system for broad searches of individuals' data, such as requiring intelligence officers to get leads from other sources first. the effort lacks those controls, as well as controls that it developed in the for an earlier attempt.	ðɪs ˈɑrtɪkəl frəm ðə wɔl strit ˈʤərnəl ˈaʊˌtlaɪnz haʊ ðə ɪz ˌɪnˈkrisɪŋgli ɪnˈgeɪʤɪŋ ɪn dəˈmɛstɪk sərˈveɪləns, ˈdætə kəˈlɛkʃən, ənd ˈdætə ˈmaɪnɪŋ. ðə rɪˈzəlt ɪz ɛˈsɛnʃəli ðə seɪm ɛz ˈtoʊtəl ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən əˈwɛrnəs. əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ˈkɑrənt ənd ˈfɔrmər ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns əˈfɪʃəlz, ðə spaɪ ˈeɪʤənsi naʊ ˈmɑnətərz juʤ ˈvɑljumz əv ˈrɛkərdz əv dəˈmɛstɪk iˈmeɪlz ənd ˈɪntərˌnɛt ˈsərʧɪz ɛz wɛl ɛz bæŋk ˈtrænsfərz, trænˈzækʃənz, ˈtrævəl ənd ˈtɛləˌfoʊn ˈrɛkərdz. ðə rɪˈsivz ðɪs ˈsoʊˈkɔld "transactional*" ˈdætə frəm ˈəðər ˈeɪʤənsiz ər ˈpraɪvət ˈkəmpəˌniz, ənd ɪts səˈfɪstɪˌkeɪtəd ˈsɔfˌwɛr ˈproʊˌgræmz ˈænəˌlaɪz ðə ˈvɛriəs trænˈzækʃənz fər səˈspɪʃəs ˈpætərnz. ðɛn ðeɪ spɪt aʊt lidz tɪ bi ɪkˈsplɔrd baɪ ˈkaʊntərˌtɛrərˌɪzəm ˈproʊˌgræmz əˈkrɔs ðə juz. ˈgəvərnmənt, səʧ ɛz ðə oʊn ˈtɛrərɪst sərˈveɪləns ˈproʊˌgræm, fɔrmd tɪ ˌɪnərˈsɛpt foʊn kɔlz ənd iˈmeɪlz bɪtˈwin ðə juz. ənd ˈoʊvərˈsiz wɪˈθaʊt ə ˈʤəʤɪz əˈpruvəl wɪn ə lɪŋk tɪ æl ɪz səˈspɛktɪd. tu ˈfɔrmər əˈfɪʃəlz fəˈmɪljər wɪθ ðə ˈɛfərts sɛd ðeɪ wərk baɪ ˈstɑrtɪŋ wɪθ səm sɔrt əv lɛd, laɪk ə foʊn ˈnəmbər ər ˈɪntərˌnɛt ˈæˌdrɛs. ɪn ˈpɑrtnərˌʃɪp wɪθ ðə ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ, ðə ˈsɪstəmz ðɛn kən træk ɔl dəˈmɛstɪk ənd ˈfɔrən trænˈzækʃənz əv ˈpipəl əˈsoʊʃiˌeɪtəd wɪθ ðət ˈaɪtəm ənd ðɛn ðə ˈpipəl hu əˈsoʊʃiˌeɪtəd wɪθ ðɛm, ənd soʊ ɔn, ˈkæstɪŋ ə ˈgræʤuəli ˈwaɪdər nɛt. ən ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns əˈfɪʃəl dɪˈskraɪbd mɔr əv ə ˈifɛkt: ɪf ə ˈpərsən səˈspɛktɪd əv ˈtɛrərɪst kəˈnɛkʃənz ɪz bɪˈlivd tɪ bi ɪn ə juz. ˈsɪti fər ˈɪnstəns, ˈdiˌtrɔɪt, ə kəmˈjunɪti wɪθ ə haɪ ˌkɑnsənˈtreɪʃən əv ˈməzlɪm əˈmɛrɪkənz ðə ˈgəvərnmənts spaɪ ˈsɪstəmz meɪ bi dɪˈrɛktɪd tɪ kəˈlɛkt ənd ˈænəˌlaɪz ɔl ˌɪˌlɛkˈtrɑnɪk kəmˌjunəˈkeɪʃənz ˈɪntu ənd aʊt əv ðə ˈsɪti. ðə hɔl kən ˌɪnˈklud ˈrɛkərdz əv foʊn kɔlz, iˈmeɪl ˈhɛdərz ənd ˌdɛstəˈneɪʃənz, ˈdætə ɔn ˌfaɪˈnænʃəl trænˈzækʃənz ənd ˈrɛkərdz əv ˈɪntərˌnɛt ˈbraʊzɪŋ. ðə ˈsɪstəm ˈɔlsoʊ wʊd kəˈlɛkt ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən əˈbaʊt ˈəðər ˈpipəl, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ðoʊz ɪn ðə juz., hu kəmˈjunəˌkeɪtɪd wɪθ ˈpipəl ɪn ˈdiˌtrɔɪt. ðə ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən ˈdəzənt ˈʤɛnərəli ˌɪnˈklud ðə ˈkɑntɛnts əv ˌkɑnvərˈseɪʃənz ər iˈmeɪlz. bət ɪt kən gɪv səʧ ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən ɛz ə loʊˈkeɪʃən, hum ə ˈpərsən ɪz ˈkɔlɪŋ, ənd wət wɛb saɪts hi ər ʃi ɪz ˈvɪzɪtɪŋ. fər ən iˈmeɪl, ðə ˈdætə hɔl kən ˌɪnˈklud ðə aɪˈdɛntɪˌtiz əv ðə ˈsɛndər ənd rɪˈsɪpiənt ənd ðə ˈsəbʤɪkt laɪn, bət nɑt ðə ˈkɑntɛnt əv ðə ˈmɛsɪʤ. ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns ˈeɪʤənsiz hæv juzd ədˈmɪnɪˌstreɪtɪv səˈpinəz ˈɪʃud baɪ ðə ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ wɪʧ doʊnt nid ə ˈʤəʤɪz ˈsɪgnəʧər tɪ kəˈlɛkt ənd ˈænəˌlaɪz səʧ ˈdætə, ˈkɑrənt ənd ˈfɔrmər ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns əˈfɪʃəlz sɛd. ɪf ðət ˈdætə prəˈvaɪdɪd "ˈrizənəbəl səˈspɪʃən" ðət ə ˈpərsən, ˈwɛðər ˈfɔrən ər frəm ðə juz., wɑz lɪŋkt tɪ æl, ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns ˈɔfɪsərz kʊd ˈivzˌdrɑp ˈəndər ðə ˈtɛrərɪst sərˈveɪləns ˈproʊˌgræm. ðə ˈjuzɪz ɪts oʊn ˌhaɪˈpaʊərd ˈvərʒən əv æˈnælɪsɪs tɪ sərʧ fər ˈpɑsəbəl nu ˈpætərnz ənd lɪŋks tɪ ˈtɛrəˌrɪzəm. ðə ˈpɛnɪˌgɑnz ɪkˌspɛrɪˈmɛntəl ˈtoʊtəl ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən əˈwɛrnəs ˈproʊˌgræm, ˈleɪtər riˈneɪmd ˈtɛrəˌrɪzəm ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən əˈwɛrnəs, wɑz ən ˈərli ˈrisərʧ ˈɛfərt ɔn ðə seɪm ˈkɑnsɛpt, dɪˈzaɪnd tɪ brɪŋ təˈgɛðər ənd ˈænəˌlaɪz ɛz məʧ ənd ɛz ˈmɛni ˈvɛrid kaɪnz əv ˈdætə ɛz ˈpɑsəbəl. ˈkɑŋgrəs ɪˈlɪməˌneɪtɪd ˈfəndɪŋ fər ðə ˈproʊˌgræm ɪn 2003 ˌbiˈfɔr ɪt bɪˈgæn ˈɔpərˌeɪtɪŋ. bət ɪt pərˈmɪtɪd səm əv ðə ˈrisərʧ tɪ kənˈtɪnju ənd ˈtiə tɛkˈnɑləʤi tɪ bi juzd fər ˈfɔrən sərˈveɪləns. səm əv ɪt wɑz ˈʃɪftɪd tɪ ðə wɪʧ ˈɔlsoʊ ɪz ˈfəndɪd baɪ ðə ˈpɛnɪˌgɑn ənd pʊt ɪn ðə ˈsoʊˈkɔld blæk ˈbəʤɪt, wɛr ɪt wʊd rɪˈsiv lɛs ˈskrutəni ənd ˈboʊlstər ˈəðər ˈɛfərts, ˈkɑrənt ənd ˈfɔrmər ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns əˈfɪʃəlz sɛd.

a photo of greg kleven, dated april 1967, shows him posing in front of a hooch, wearing an undershirt so stained it matches the sand beneath his feet. in his right hand, he is holding an rifle. his shaved head is cocked to the left and he's sticking out his tongue in a half smile. the enlistee is three months into his tour of vietnam in a marine corps force reconnaissance company, a special operations unit similar to the navy seals. he looks brash and ready to take on any viet cong who cross his path. "we had all of the difficult missions," mr. kleven recalls. "we blew up bridges and parachuted out of planes. each patrol was like an individual war." as we talk in his apartment overlooking the canal in ho chi minh city, vietnam, it's hard to find any trace of that brazen marine in kleven today. two decades after leaving vietnam on a stretcher with a bullet wound to his back, kleven returned to the country for good in 1991, making him, he says, the first american to live in ho chi minh city after the war. today, apartment turns into a classroom several times a week when vietnamese students come to practice their english. kleven was a trailblazer in vietnam for english teaching, a field that did not exist when he first returned to the country as a tourist in the 1980s. he and his brother an air force veteran became the first foreigners granted a government license to teach in vietnam. his voice can be heard in classrooms across the country on the government's training tapes. "i wanted to make up for what i had done during the war," kleven says of his career. "i now have a second chance to do things right. i have the chance to be a teacher here instead of a soldier." kleven is just one of thousands of american veterans who have returned to vietnam since the end of one of the most divisive conflicts in american history. in the four decades since the signing of the paris peace accords in 1973, which brought america's direct military involvement in the war to an end, many former soldiers have journeyed there out of curiosity to see a land and people they once fought or to seek closure for a war that continues to weigh on their minds. while no one knows the precise number of returning vets, most experts put the figure in the tens of thousands. vietnam battlefield tours, just one of dozens of groups that organize trips for former soldiers, estimates it has taken more than veterans to the country since the group's founding in 2005. the vietnamese government says that in recent years more than americans many of them former military have visited the country annually. a few hundred other former soldiers, like kleven, have moved to vietnam permanently. some of these veterans are working alongside their former enemies to address the legacies of the war. they remove unexploded bombs and land mines from old battlefields that are now rice paddies. they raise money for people who have been diagnosed with disabilities or diseases attributed to exposure to agent orange or other herbicides that were sprayed by the united states during the war. and they act as unofficial ambassadors, promoting reconciliation between americans and vietnamese as teachers and tour guides. • american veterans have a long tradition of making pilgrimages to their old battlefields. the journeys serve to memorialize the war and to honor those that lost their lives in battle. vietnam veterans return to the southeast asian country for these reasons, too, but also because they have a need to make sense of a war that remains controversial. "what makes vietnam veterans different from world war veterans who go back is that we lost in vietnam," says paulette curtis, an anthropologist at the university of notre dame in south bend, ind., who has studied the phenomenon of returning vets. "veterans that go back to vietnam are reclaiming their place in history, both in a personal and national sense." while the men who came home from world war were celebrated as heroes, vietnam veterans faced an american public that largely did not support the conflict in southeast asia. added to this, american media coverage of vietnam dropped off almost entirely after the fall of saigon in 1975, so veterans had a hard time understanding how their role in the war contributed to the country's well-being. kleven recalls the confusion he felt after coming home from vietnam in 1967. "i kept asking myself, why did we go? what was behind it? i never knew the history of it. so i was searching for all of those things." the quest for answers drove some veterans to return to vietnam and connect with the vietnamese in the 1980s. the trips were difficult in those early years. the us imposed a trade embargo on vietnam in 1975 and pulled its embassy staff from the country. before kleven first returned to vietnam in 1988 15 years after the peace accords he was warned by the us state department not to go. despite these challenges, veterans made up the largest contingent of americans visiting vietnam in the 1980s, ms. curtis says. from the beginning, veterans who returned played a role in improving ties between the two countries. in the absence of formal diplomatic ties, hanoi reached out to returning american veterans to discuss outstanding war issues, such as missing soldiers and vietnamese children fathered by american troops. while the us government discouraged these discussions and some veterans felt too hardened by the war to have any interest in symbolically shaking hands well-known veterans such as bobby muller, then president of vietnam veterans of america, took hanoi up on the offer. "we see our role as providing a bridge to vietnam, a conduit to dialogue," mr. muller was quoted by the new york times as saying after a 1984 meeting with vietnamese foreign minister nguyen co thach. "our government will not talk to them. so we do represent the only channel with which to exchange information." when president clinton announced the normalization of diplomatic relations with vietnam a decade later, he thanked veterans for supporting reconciliation and moving "beyond the haunting and painful past toward finding common ground for the future." veterans in vietnam today are continuing that process and working to address the past on both the and diplomatic levels. • it's a balmy evening and we're sitting amid the tiki torches and straw umbrellas of a bar in da nang, in central vietnam. across the street, ocean waves lap against what us soldiers used to call china beach. the site was home to a us rest and relaxation center during the war, where soldiers could unwind and play volleyball. tonight, i can make out the silhouettes of vietnamese teenagers playing a casual game of soccer under the moonlight. i had planned on meeting only one veteran, but as the night unfolded, more and more joined us. the expatriate community in da nang is close, but the group of us veterans living along the beach is tighter still. bottles of theal larue are passed around and the men settle in to reminiscing about their first time going back to vietnam after the war. "i flew into hanoi and i had the jitters in my stomach," marine vet chuck palazzo recalls. "i had some bizarre thoughts that i'm in this database and they're going to see that i was a marine. and they're going to take me away. crazy thoughts. but to the contrary, big smile on the guy's face, they stamped my passport. i'm in." the men laugh. their initial fears of facing their former enemies are still vivid, even after years of having vietnamese friends and wives. they continue to be astonished by vietnam's ability to forgive american soldiers for what they did during the war. "for guys that come back today, they're expecting to find sandbags and bunkers, barbed wire and bullets lying around. but rarely do you find that stuff," says bill ervin. the marine vet has been bringing veterans back to vietnam since the and runs his own travel agency, bamboo moon, out of his home near the beach. the veterans in da nang speak of meeting former north vietnamese soldiers on the street who embrace them as brothers. and they recall a trip they took together not long ago during which a poor family invited them in to share a meal of coconut worms. it's clear they feel at home in vietnam, despite the lingering memories of war. "i tell people that i was born in vietnam," jones, the oldest veteran at the table, tells me. "and they say 'what?' yeah, i was born here in 1968. because upon my arrival here every breath i've ever had since has been affected by it in some way or another. everything i've ever done since leaving vietnam has been affected by my time here." mr. jones received two purple hearts, first for being shot and later for being wounded by mortar fire in vietnam, but the mental injury he sustained was far more serious. for 30 years he suffered from what was diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) and wandered the us, unable to hold a job or make friends. when he finally settled down it was in a cabin in alaska 60 miles from the nearest town. in 1995, he traveled to seattle and underwent a treatment program at a veterans administration hospital. it was during that program he decided to return to vietnam. "i was a bush marine and we spent all of our time in the dmz [demilitarized zone]," jones says. "i never saw a city. i never saw a vietnamese that i wasn't shooting at or who wasn't shooting at me. and i knew nothing, absolutely nothing about this country. so i thought, it's time to go back and at least see where in the hell i fought and what the hell happened." jones and mr. palazzo now live in da nang and help run veterans for first overseas chapter. through the organization, they arrange tours for us veterans who are interested in returning to vietnam and learning more about the legacies of the war. they also spend time visiting those who were exposed to agent orange and raising money for the da nang association for victims of agent (dava), which provides assistance to families in central vietnam. • one morning, i drive with phan thanh tien, the vice president of, to the home of a former vietnamese soldier whose grandchildren have been affected by dioxin. the house is deep in the countryside inng district, far from the hospitals and markets in downtown da nang. we climb a dirt path up a hill to reach the house and pass a cow, munching among the palm trees, that has given the family. the house is humble just a few rooms and like many vietnamese homes it lacks a front wall, so the breezes flow through the house freely. chickens and dogs play in the front yard. the patriarch of the family, len dan, is 68 years old. he was a driver for the south vietnamese army during the war, a role he says the military forced him to take on. his wife pours me tea while one of his grandsons examines my notebook and pen. he is 15 years old, but his developmental disabilities make him look much younger. a second grandson lies motionless on a bed in the other room. his legs are skinny and unable to keep him upright. when i speak to him, his eyes move, but he doesn't say a word. they tell me that he can't understand. mr. dan remembers seeing the white clouds of herbicide being sprayed by us planes a few miles from his home during the war. he thought it was water at the time. american veteran palazzo remembers those clouds, too. he served as a reconnaissance specialist not far from dan's house and was told by his commanding officer that the chemical being sprayed was pesticide. but something about the chemical didn't make sense. "i paid more attention and i realized that this stuff is wilting the leaves, and the trees are just crumbling down," palazzo recalls. "mosquito repellent doesn't do this." the us sprayed nearly 20 million gallons of herbicides in vietnam, laos, and cambodia as part of operation ranch hand during the war against north vietnam. of these herbicides, agent orange is the most deadly. the chemical contains a large amount of dioxin, a toxic compound that takes centuries to break down. since 1991, the us department of veterans affairs has recognized that exposure to dioxin can cause certain cancers, diseases, and birth defects. american veterans who served in the vietnam war and have conditions linked to dioxin exposure can receive medical benefits and disability compensation from the us government. but hanoi has long complained that the million vietnamese that it estimates were exposed to dioxin during the war have not received equivalent benefits from washington. moreover, the former us bases where herbicides were once stored, mixed, and loaded into planes have not been properly cleaned. researchers at the vietnam public health association estimate that 90 percent of new dioxin poisoning cases occurring today in vietnam are due to the consumption of food and water contaminated by dioxin that has leaked out of bases abandoned by the us four decades ago. the lack of response by the us government is largely what fueled decision to return to vietnam and address the outstanding legacies of the war. "i felt a tremendous amount of guilt," palazzo says. "while i was in vietnam during the war i had a dream. it stuck in my mind for years that i wanted to come back, and i wanted to do something positive after all of the destruction that we did. so years later, the time was right and i decided to return." last year, palazzo visited dan's family with a group of americans in vietnam for the annual veterans for peace tour. dan was moved by the meeting. "it encouraged us and gave us the strength to continue taking care of our grandchildren," he says. "if the us veterans did not come back to vietnam they would not understand what happened here and wouldn't sympathize with us. it's very, very important for the vietnamese to see and hear from american veterans." • the effects of such sympathy are often most visible at theal level, in the new schools veterans have built and the freight containers full of wheelchairs they have donated to hospitals and orphanages. yet the work of american veterans in vietnam can be felt at the diplomatic level as well. after years of campaigning by activist veterans, the us began removing dioxin from the soil of a former us airport in da nang in 2012. the project involves digging up contaminated soil and heating it to high temperatures to destroy the toxin. the us agency for international development estimates that cubic meters of soil will be at the airport, enough to fill 29 swimming pools. "the us would have been much too ready to totally ignore land mines, unexploded ordnance, agent orange, and the tragic legacy of the war if we had let them," says chuck searcy, a us army veteran who has lived in hanoi since relations were normalized in 1995. "but because of the presence here of veterans and our attention to those issues, the us has had to be accountable for those things." mr. searcy has seen firsthand the power of veterans to encourage reconciliation through his work on land mines and unexploded ordnance. the us dropped an estimated million tons of ammunition on southeast asia during the war, more than it used on both germany and japan during world war. bombs that failed to detonate on impact became de facto land mines. the vietnamese government estimates that more than people have been killed or injured by unexploded ordnance since the war ended. searcy was stationed as an intelligence officer in saigon during the 1968 tet offensive, north vietnam's largest assault in the war. he returned to vietnam in the to serve as the representative for the washington, vietnam veterans of america foundation and then later helped found project renew, a joint group that deals with the explosive remnants of war. searcy says that his status as a veteran has given him access to people in the vietnamese military and government that other americans cannot reach. "when i first met with the ministry of defense in 1996, they had never had a meeting with an ngo [nongovernmental organization] before, and they did not deal with ngos period," searcy recalls. "the only reason they gave me a meeting, they said, was because i was an american veteran. they said, you know what we suffered through because you suffered the same thing. we're brothers." this access proved useful a few years later when searcy helped resolve a disagreement between washington and hanoi over a donation of equipment. the vietnamese government was concerned about demands attached to the donation, searcy says, preventing a deal from moving forward. after speaking with his military contacts in vietnam and in the us, searcy was able to help bridge the gulf between the parties and bolster hanoi's confidence in the gift. a donation package was signed soon after. four decades after the paris peace accords, many of the men who went to vietnam as teenagers are now in their and 70s. age is posing new challenges for those living in the southeast asian country. some american veterans in vietnam are considering moving back to the us, where they can have access to treatment at hospitals and have the support of family members. others are thinking about winding down their humanitarian projects as the work of fundraising becomes too taxing. yet as veterans in vietnam contemplate leaving, many veterans in the us who are now retired are considering returning to the country for the first time. "veterans can afford to go to vietnam now that their kids are gone and they have more free time on their hands," says ed stiteler, president of vietnam battlefield tours and a vietnam veteran himself. "most of the people we're dealing with have put a lot of thought into going to vietnam and are looking for closure and healing." a similar dynamic is also driving many former vietnamese soldiers back to their own battlefields, increasing the likelihood of chance connections between the former enemies. "commemorating the war together is one of the most important ways in which veterans are able to work through the past," says christina schwenkel, an anthropologist at the university of california, riverside. "veterans who meet today in vietnam are sharing their sorrow and trying to move forward together." get the monitor stories you care about delivered to your inbox. by signing up, you agree to our privacy policy decades after they first went to war in vietnam, many of them are finally making peace with the past. •nissa rhee is writing a book about american veterans who have returned to vietnam to help overcome the legacies of the war, reconcile the past with the present, and turn enemies into friends.	ə ˈfoʊˌtoʊ əv grɛg ˈklivən, ˈdeɪtɪd ˈeɪprəl 1967 ʃoʊz ɪm ˈpoʊzɪŋ ɪn frənt əv ə huʧ, ˈwɛrɪŋ ən ˈəndərˌʃərt soʊ steɪnd ɪt ˈmæʧɪz ðə sænd bɪˈniθ hɪz fit. ɪn hɪz raɪt hænd, hi ɪz ˈhoʊldɪŋ ən ˈraɪfəl. hɪz ʃeɪvd hɛd ɪz kɔkt tɪ ðə lɛft ənd hiz ˈstɪkɪŋ aʊt hɪz təŋ ɪn ə hæf smaɪl. ðə ɛnˌlɪˈsti ɪz θri mənθs ˈɪntu hɪz tʊr əv viˌɛtˈnɑm ɪn ə mərˈin kɔrz fɔrs riˈkɑnəsəns ˈkəmpəˌni, ə ˈspɛʃəl ˌɑpərˈeɪʃənz ˈjunɪt ˈsɪmələr tɪ ðə ˈneɪvi silz. hi lʊks bræʃ ənd ˈrɛdi tɪ teɪk ɔn ˈɛni viɛt kɔŋ hu krɔs hɪz pæθ.

simpson only took charge of the in february paul simpson praised his england team after they won the world cup, but said it was "too early" to call them the next golden generation. england beat venezuela in sunday's final, to win the country's biggest international title since 1966. it was england's first appearance in the final of a global tournament since their world cup victory 51 years ago. "we don't need anymore songs talking about 50 years of hurt," said simpson, referencing the song three lions. the song, with its signature lyric "30 years of hurt", was first released for england's euro 96 campaign and fans have changed the lyrics for each subsequent major tournament. everton forward dominic goal was enough for victory in south korea, with newcastle goalkeeper freddie woodman making a penalty save to preserve the lead. asked if the players were the next golden generation, simpson told bbc sport: "it is too early for that, we could sit and make all sorts of bold statements. "let's enjoy what we have done, it is a wonderful achievement from them. we are the world champions at level which isn't easy. "let's see what comes next and hope they continue to develop. we hope we can lead them and guide them through these next stages to get the football they need and they can go on to be successful." he added: "this will be an incredible experience for them to take forward whatever they go on to do. they will remember this for the rest of their lives and get confidence from this and hopefully the whole of the country can enjoy their achievements." prince william, the duke of cambridge, is the president of the football association sir geoff hurst scored a as england beat germany in 1966 to win the world cup former manchester city and derby winger simpson paid tribute to boothroyd, who had managed the side before his promotion to the in february. "there have been years of preparation and planning and i can't believe i have been given the task to be head coach of this group to take through to the world cup," added simpson, 50, who also managed preston, county, shrewsbury town and victoria. "to finish with a gold medal round my neck is a wonderful feeling." reaction from gareth southgate - 'starting to see real progress' england manager gareth southgate we are starting to see some real progress in how we work as national junior team. ultimately the aim is those players come through to the seniors. a big part of that now is for them to get opportunities with their clubs. if at we are world champions, there are enough players there to careers in the game without clubs looking elsewhere. the team will come back full of confidence, the clubs will get players that been through a brilliant experience, proved themselves at a very high level in their age group. there is always the next challenge, and they will come back into pre-season at an age where they have to try and force their way into the first team at their club.	ˈsɪmpsən ˈoʊnli tʊk ʧɑrʤ əv ðə ɪn ˈfɛbruˌɛri pɔl ˈsɪmpsən preɪzd hɪz ˈɪŋglənd tim ˈæftər ðeɪ wən ðə wərld kəp, bət sɛd ɪt wɑz "tu ˈərli" tɪ kɔl ðɛm ðə nɛkst ˈgoʊldən ˌʤɛnərˈeɪʃən. ˈɪŋglənd bit ˌvɛnɪzˈweɪlə ɪn ˈsənˌdiz ˈfaɪnəl, tɪ wɪn ðə ˈkəntriz ˈbɪgəst ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl ˈtaɪtəl sɪns 1966 ɪt wɑz ˈɪŋgləndz fərst əˈpɪrəns ɪn ðə ˈfaɪnəl əv ə ˈgloʊbəl ˈtʊrnəmənt sɪns ðɛr wərld kəp ˈvɪktəri 51 jɪrz əˈgoʊ.

more than a week after the prism story first broke, you might have reached saturation point when it comes to news and discussion about it. understandable, and it seems like some members of the us senate feel the same way. still there have been some important developments this weekend, so we thought it was worth highlighting them. a piece by the associated press yesterday took a into how prism fits into the wider context of us online espionage programs. the ap reports that prism acts as a kind of refining tool for data that the national security agency (nsa) pulls data from the undersea cables that pipe internet data in and out of the usa: “prism appears to do what its name suggests. like a triangular piece of glass, prism takes large beams of data and helps the government find discrete, manageable strands of information. “the fact that it is productive is not surprising; documents show it is one of the major sources for what ends up in the daily briefing. prism makes sense of the cacophony of the raw feed. it provides the government with names, addresses, conversation histories and entire archives of email inboxes.” the report, considers whether data gleaned from technology companies via prism allows the to navigate through the enormous bulk dump of internet data it collects from the undersea cables. “for example, not every company archives instant message conversations, chat room exchanges or videoconferences. but if prism provided general details, known as, about when a user began chatting, could the government “rewind” its copy of the global internet stream, find the conversation and replay it in full?” in other words, technology companies may be telling the truth when they say that they only hand over specific user information in response to specific requests, but the really need anything more from them anyway, because they already have a ‘raw feed’ of internet traffic to pull from. read the article in full for a fascinating, and perhaps troubling, look at what it seems the is up to. elsewhere, the washington post reports that prism works with three other programs run by the; mainway, marina and nucleon. together, the programs collect vast of about telephone and internet communications passing through usa. “when the aims for foreign targets whose communications cross u.s. infrastructure, it expects to sweep in some american content “incidentally” or “inadvertently,” which are terms of art in regulations governing the. contact chaining, because it extends to the contacts of contacts of targets, inevitably collects even more american data.” keep up with all our prism coverage here. sure still more to come. image credit: getty images read next: the personal cloud that tomorrow needs	mɔr ðən ə wik ˈæftər ðə ˈprɪzəm ˈstɔri fərst broʊk, ju maɪt hæv riʧt ˌsæʧərˈeɪʃən pɔɪnt wɪn ɪt kəmz tɪ nuz ənd dɪˈskəʃən əˈbaʊt ɪt. ˌəndərˈstændəbəl, ənd ɪt simz laɪk səm ˈmɛmbərz əv ðə ˈjuˈɛs ˈsɛnɪt fil ðə seɪm weɪ. stɪl ðɛr hæv bɪn səm ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt dɪˈvɛləpmənts ðɪs ˈwiˌkɪnd, soʊ wi θɔt ɪt wɑz wərθ ˈhaɪˌlaɪtɪŋ ðɛm. ə pis baɪ ðə əˈsoʊʃiˌeɪtəd prɛs ˈjɛstərˌdeɪ tʊk ə ˈɪntu haʊ ˈprɪzəm fɪts ˈɪntu ðə ˈwaɪdər ˈkɑntɛkst əv ˈjuˈɛs ˈɔnˌlaɪn ˈɛspiənɑʤ ˈproʊˌgræmz. ðə ˌeɪˈpi rɪˈpɔrts ðət ˈprɪzəm ækts ɛz ə kaɪnd əv rɪˈfaɪnɪŋ tul fər ˈdætə ðət ðə ˈnæʃənəl sɪˈkjʊrəti ˈeɪʤənsi (nsa) pʊlz ˈdætə frəm ðə ˌəndərˈsi ˈkeɪbəlz ðət paɪp ˈɪntərˌnɛt ˈdætə ɪn ənd aʊt əv ðə ˈjuˈɛˈseɪ: əˈpɪrz tɪ du wət ɪts neɪm səˈʤɛsts. laɪk ə traɪˈæŋgjələr pis əv glæs, ˈprɪzəm teɪks lɑrʤ bimz əv ˈdætə ənd hɛlps ðə ˈgəvərnmənt faɪnd dɪˈskrit, ˈmænɪʤəbəl strændz əv ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən. fækt ðət ɪt ɪz pərˈdəktɪv ɪz nɑt səˈpraɪzɪŋ;

on the sixth anniversary of the ruling on citizens united, elizabeth warren spoke to congress to remind them of the egregious error they had made in allowing massive amounts of money to influence politics. “six years ago today the supreme court overturned a century of established law. and, in doing so, unleashed a secret flow of corporate money into our political system. the supreme court created a big problem, but that does not mean anyone with any integrity must just roll over and play dead. no, it is time to fight back. this congress lack for workable ideas for how to root out the influence of money in politics, this congress just lacks a spine to do it!” warren had some harsh words for the impotent congress, taking them to task for their steadfast refusal to fix the broken political system which allows for massive corporations to play a major part in elections and the implementation of laws. watch.	ɔn ðə sɪksθ ˌænəˈvərsəri əv ðə ˈrulɪŋ ɔn ˈsɪtɪzənz juˈnaɪtɪd, ɪˈlɪzəbɪθ ˈwɔrən spoʊk tɪ ˈkɑŋgrəs tɪ riˈmaɪnd ðɛm əv ðə ɪˈgriʤəs ˈɛrər ðeɪ hæd meɪd ɪn əˈlaʊɪŋ ˈmæsɪv əˈmaʊnts əv ˈməni tɪ ˈɪnfluəns ˈpɑləˌtɪks. jɪrz əˈgoʊ təˈdeɪ ðə səˈprim kɔrt ˈoʊvərˌtərnd ə ˈsɛnʧəri əv ɪˈstæblɪʃt lɔ. ənd, ɪn duɪŋ soʊ, ənˈliʃt ə ˈsikrɪt floʊ əv ˈkɔrpərət ˈməni ˈɪntu ɑr pəˈlɪtɪkəl ˈsɪstəm. ðə səˈprim kɔrt kriˈeɪtɪd ə bɪg ˈprɑbləm, bət ðət dɪz nɑt min ˈɛniˌwən wɪθ ˈɛni ˌɪnˈtɛgrəti məst ʤɪst roʊl ˈoʊvər ənd pleɪ dɛd. noʊ, ɪt ɪz taɪm tɪ faɪt bæk. ðɪs ˈkɑŋgrəs læk fər ˈwərkəbəl aɪˈdiəz fər haʊ tɪ rut aʊt ðə ˈɪnfluəns əv ˈməni ɪn ˈpɑləˌtɪks, ðɪs ˈkɑŋgrəs ʤɪst læks ə spaɪn tɪ du it!”*!” ˈwɔrən hæd səm hɑrʃ wərdz fər ðə ˈɪmpətənt ˈkɑŋgrəs, ˈteɪkɪŋ ðɛm tɪ tæsk fər ðɛr ˈstɛdˌfæst rɪfˈjuzəl tɪ fɪks ðə ˈbroʊkən pəˈlɪtɪkəl ˈsɪstəm wɪʧ əˈlaʊz fər ˈmæsɪv ˌkɔrpərˈeɪʃənz tɪ pleɪ ə ˈmeɪʤər pɑrt ɪn ɪˈlɛkʃənz ənd ðə ˌɪmpləmɛnˈteɪʃən əv lɔz. wɔʧ.
white house officials are exploring ways to pressure senate majority leader mitch mcconnell addison (mitch) mitchell to push back at trump on border democrats block abortion bill in senate overnight energy: climate protesters storm office \| group says green new deal could cost trillion \| dire warnings from new climate studies more (r-ky.) to return to the controversial issue of repeal when the senate returns to work in september. president trump, who has repeatedly criticized mcconnell in public, wants to hold the feet to the fire on the issue, say white house sources. “i have not heard a single voice in the white house say give up on healthcare. everyone keeps saying keep trying and keep pushing,' said one white house source. advertisement “we’re definitely not ready to move on and feel members should keep looking for a way to pass the bill. it would be one thing if it had fallen 30 votes short but they were just one vote shy of passing a bill in the senate,” the source added. one point of leverage the white house may explore is using the looming expiration of reconciliation instructions for fiscal 2017 to argue for one more push. under the rules, the has until the end of september to pass repeal legislation under the rules, which prevent a democratic filibuster. this means the has just one last chance to defund planned parenthood or eliminate the most unpopular elements of, such as the mandate on individuals to purchase insurance. mcconnell has made it clear he wants to move on to other priorities: raising the debt ceiling, negotiating a spending deal, passing a defense authorization and reforming the tax code. “it’s time to move on,” mcconnell declared on the senate floor after sen. john mccain john sidney lobbyists worry trump lags in k street fundraising mark kelly kicks off senate bid: ‘a mission to lift up hardworking arizonans’ gabbard hits back at meghan mccain after fight over assad more (r-ariz.) stunned colleagues by casting the deciding vote against a repeal bill. mcconnell told reporters on aug. 1 that the senate will take up tax reform when senators return to washington after labor day. a number of senate republicans are also advocating for various repeal bills, though behind the scenes, many are also happy to move on to tax reform ahead of next midterm elections. another option mentioned by a white house official to press republicans into action would be to work with the conservative house freedom caucus to delay passage of the fiscal 2018 budget, which needs to be passed in order to take up legislation, until the senate takes another shot at. a third option would be to act “administratively” to put pressure on senate republicans. for example, administration officials for months have suggested that they could eliminate subsidies that members of congress and their staff receive through to help them buy health coverage. “people are talking about different things with healthcare. looking at what they can do administratively. there are subsidies for insurance companies, there are also subsidies for members of congress and their staffs,” said a second white house official. these subsidies serve as employer contributions for lawmakers and staff who were moved from the federal employee healthcare benefits program to the exchanges. a republican aide acknowledged administration officials had made the suggestion. “it’s a constant threat,” said a senior senate aide. “i’ve heard this from the domestic policy council and [the office of management and budget].” administration officials are also looking at stopping the reduction payments designed to shore up insurance companies that lose money by participating in the exchanges. this could put financial pressure on companies to withdraw from individual marketplaces around the country and hasten the unraveling of, which could put pressure on congress to return to healthcare legislation. that tactic, however, has raised red flags in white house discussions because it may prompt legal challenges. “the talk is, ‘why we just for now continue the payments, which is a monthly decision, for now so trip any legal wires,' said the first white house source. trump could also put insurance companies under pressure with changes to other payments, which could force action by congress. white house officials who are looking at ways to undermine are backed up by an array of conservative leaders who on friday released a memo calling on trump to take action. “the continuing lack of leadership on repealing makes presidential action critical and timely. the president has the authority to move the process of repeal forward and show that he aims to keep his word,” members of the conservative action project wrote in the aug. 11 memo. the signatories included former sen. jim demint (r-s.c.);

president barack obama used communist china, which has very strict gun ownership laws, as an illustration for the benefits of enhanced gun control on a populace. speaking at the white house on tuesday, obama acknowledged, “we know we stop every act of violence, every act of evil in the world. but maybe we can try to stop one act of evil, one act of violence.” “some of you may recall at the same time that sandy hook happened, a disturbed person in china took a knife and tried to kill, with a knife a bunch of children in china. but most of them survived because he have access to a powerful weapon,” obama claimed. in one knife attack in china in 2012, a old man stabbed 22 kids and an old woman. “we maybe save everybody, but we could save some,” obama said. “just as we prevent all traffic accidents but we take steps to try to reduce traffic accidents.” follow steve on twitter and facebook	ˈprɛzɪdənt ˈbɑrək ˌoʊˈbɑmə juzd ˈkɑmjənəst ˈʧaɪnə, wɪʧ həz ˈvɛri strɪkt gən ˈoʊnərˌʃɪp lɔz, ɛz ən ˌɪləˈstreɪʃən fər ðə ˈbɛnəfɪts əv ɛnˈhænst gən kənˈtroʊl ɔn ə ˈpɑpjələs. ˈspikɪŋ æt ðə waɪt haʊs ɔn ˈtuzˌdeɪ, ˌoʊˈbɑmə ækˈnɑlɪʤd, noʊ wi stɑp ˈɛvəri ækt əv ˈvaɪələns, ˈɛvəri ækt əv ˈivəl ɪn ðə wərld. bət ˈmeɪbi wi kən traɪ tɪ stɑp wən ækt əv ˈivəl, wən ækt əv violence.”.” əv ju meɪ ˈriˌkɔl æt ðə seɪm taɪm ðət ˈsændi hʊk ˈhæpənd, ə dɪˈstərbd ˈpərsən ɪn ˈʧaɪnə tʊk ə naɪf ənd traɪd tɪ kɪl, wɪθ ə naɪf ə bənʧ əv ˈʧɪldrən ɪn ˈʧaɪnə. bət moʊst əv ðɛm sərˈvaɪvd bɪˈkəz hi hæv ˈækˌsɛs tɪ ə ˈpaʊərfəl weapon,”,” ˌoʊˈbɑmə kleɪmd. ɪn wən naɪf əˈtæk ɪn ˈʧaɪnə ɪn 2012 ə oʊld mæn stæbd 22 kɪdz ənd ən oʊld ˈwʊmən. ˈmeɪbi seɪv ˈɛvriˌbɑdi, bət wi kʊd seɪv some,”,” ˌoʊˈbɑmə sɛd. ɛz wi prɪˈvɛnt ɔl ˈtræfɪk ˈæksədənts bət wi teɪk stɛps tɪ traɪ tɪ rɪˈdus ˈtræfɪk accidents.”.” ˈfɑloʊ stiv ɔn tˈwɪtər ənd ˈfeɪsˌbʊk
abc news' billington reports: having kids is generally seen as a good thing. grandparents crave it; parents find it meaningful; our genes' evolutionary mandate requires it. but can there be too much of a good thing? is eight "enough" - or way more than enough? in 2009, gained fame and the moniker, "octomom," when she had octuplets. she was criticized when it emerged she already had six small children and was an unemployed single mom on public assistance. she denied she was on assistance until april 2012, when she confirmed she received $2,000 a month from the state of california. "how would you do it?" contest finalist shines, from palo alto, calif., submitted a scenario idea based on her experience as the mother of eight. shines has simply always wanted a big family. her children, all biological, range in age from 21 months to 21 years. she said people have said rude things to her when she and her big brood have been out together. we took our hidden cameras to stacks pancake house, in paramus, n.j., to film a scenario in which a waitress insults a mother of eight, accusing her of irresponsibly relying on tax dollars. shines stood behind the scenes. would anyone stand up to our waitress in defense of the mother? find out by watching the whole scenario on "what would you do?" friday at 9 p.m. and tell us how you feel by voting below.	ˈeɪˌbiˌsi nuz' ˈbɪlɪŋtən rɪˈpɔrts: ˈhævɪŋ kɪdz ɪz ˈʤɛnərəli sin ɛz ə gʊd θɪŋ. ˈgrændˌpɛrənts kreɪv ɪt; ˈpɛrənts faɪnd ɪt ˈminɪŋfəl; ɑr ʤinz' ˌɛvəˈluʃəˌnɛri ˈmænˌdeɪt rikˈwaɪərz ɪt. bət kən ðɛr bi tu məʧ əv ə gʊd θɪŋ? ɪz eɪt "ɪˈnəf" ər weɪ mɔr ðən ɪˈnəf? ɪn 2009 geɪnd feɪm ənd ðə ˈmɑnɪkər, "octomom," wɪn ʃi hæd ɑkˈtəpləts. ʃi wɑz ˈkrɪtəˌsaɪzd wɪn ɪt ˈimərʤd ʃi ɔˈrɛdi hæd sɪks smɔl ˈʧɪldrən ənd wɑz ən ˌənɛmˈplɔɪd ˈsɪŋgəl mɑm ɔn ˈpəblɪk əˈsɪstəns. ʃi dɪˈnaɪd ʃi wɑz ɔn əˈsɪstəns ənˈtɪl ˈeɪprəl 2012 wɪn ʃi kənˈfərmd ʃi rɪˈsivd ə mənθ frəm ðə steɪt əv ˌkæləˈfɔrnjə.

former cleveland browns linebacker dansby said he came to cincinnati to win a super bowl. (photo: ron schwane, ron today sports) karlos dansby could barely get the words out, his brain racing faster than his lips could structure the sentences, a palpable excitement crackling over the phone. “it’s a great opportunity with a great team,” he began. “with a great team, man. like, you know what saying? oh, man, this is going to be awesome. i, i, really put it in words, this situation, man. you you” you could hear him trying to catch up to his thoughts, having already spent time speaking about defensive coordinator paul scheme, the defensive line in front of him, the linebackers beside him. “you just draw this up every day, with the talent level we have on this team, man.” at 34 years old, dansby has started 171 games and played in 180 over 12 seasons. played in a super bowl. he scored a touchdown in a playoff game. he is one interception away from becoming just the fifth player in nfl history to have 40 sacks and 20 interceptions. there are few emotions he experienced on the field. the emotion that has escaped him, however, is what comes over a player when he holds the lombardi trophy as world champion. it’s why dansby sought out the cincinnati bengals once he released by the cleveland browns in mid-march. “i been around this much talent in a long time,” he said. “you look at the roster man, a lot of talent on this team. a lot of ball players on this team, a lot of guys that have had a lot of success in this game. i just wanted to surround myself with a lot of talent one time to see how all pan out. i think pan out great.” dansby watched other players hold up that trophy right in front of him as a member of the arizona cardinals in 2008 when the pittsburgh steelers edged his team in super bowl xliii. he also watched the bengals lose to the steelers in the first round of the playoffs last year, and well aware of the recent history of the struggles in the postseason. “i feel like i can come in and i can help get us over that hump,” he said. “i want to be a part of something great.” dansby, who visited the bengals 2013 before in arizona for a season, feels good not only about the talent on the roster, but the coaching staff. he recalled connecting with guenther, who was then the linebackers coach during his visit, and he played under defensive backs coach kevin coyle when coyle ran the miami dolphins defense in 2012. newsletters get the bengals beat newsletter delivered to your we're sorry, but something went wrong please try again soon, or contact customer service at. delivery: invalid email address thank you! you're almost signed up for bengals beat keep an eye out for an email to confirm your newsletter registration. more newsletters dansby has played every linebacker spot in a defense, but in cincinnati he will play on the strong side when the bengals linebacker corps is healthy and all together. it will be the first time been on that side since 2007, and admitted the younger players will push him to get better. but he about to discount what he can still do. “i think it can be very, very dynamic and it will posse some problems for a lot of teams that expecting this kind of move or expecting to deal with this kind of talent we have on this defense,” he said. “and the way coach paul i going to be able to dial certain things up, probably the way he do in the past, but now have some freedom to do that. just expand the defense, man, and make everybody great.” despite the fact entering his nfl season, dansby vividly recalls the sting of not winning the butkus award as the top college linebacker in 2003. the super bowl loss has, to this point, permanently bruised his heart. not winning the defensive player of the year award in 2013, which went to luke kuechly, still makes him seethe. “you hear me talking and i get very passionate about it because these things have been eluding me,” he said. clearly for him, there remains much to prove. toss in the fact that he did sign for one year, even though he has stated he would like to play another four or five, dansby feels in lockstep with the rest of his new teammates in having unfinished business to attend to. “the guys being so close last year i know going to push ‘em to another level,” dansby said. “back in, when i lost that, when i lost that game in, the super bowl, it pushed me to another level. so i know my expectation level here coming is like these guys are going to be ready to go, going to be itching to get back on the field, going to have a certain kind of drive and a certain kind of passion for the game that they have before because they were so close. they knew they had an opportunity to win that game they lost. so, man, i fit right into that boat, you know? i want to be around guys that have the same kind of mindset.”	ˈfɔrmər ˈklivlənd braʊnz ˈlaɪnˌbækər ˈdænsbi sɛd hi keɪm tɪ ˌsɪnsəˈnæti tɪ wɪn ə ˈsupər boʊl.

figure 1. a laboratory prototype of a robot autonomously builds a modular structure. this process could repeat to build a large truss or spacecraft. as shown here, the modules are small, but a similar approach would work for large modules. many future space vehicles, planetary bases, and mining operations will be too large and heavy to launch on a single rocket. instead, component parts would need to be launched on multiple rockets and assembled in space. to enable versatile assembly, a novel class of robots called has been conceptualized. are robotic limbs that attach and detach from each other to form a variety of useful configurations. these configurations might be as small as a single limb, which is best for manipulation of small parts, or as large as necessary for gross manipulation. as a modular system, could be supplemented with additional tools and limbs. a core concept of is “modularity at the limb scale.” each robot, called, is a limb and can function as a robot for single-handed tasks. for example, one could grab a battery pack from a storage container and insert it into a satellite. both ends of are electromechanical docks that can attach to a structure, other robots, or tools like and drills. the base structure powers and controls the robots through these docks, so can walk across the structure without a battery or tether. researchers recently used a prototype to demonstrate mobility and assembly of a modular structure (figure 1). figure 2. robots can form a wide variety of configurations, enabling manipulation, gross manipulation of large objects, docking with incoming spacecraft, and manipulation. because the electromechanical docks provide power to the robots, could move around and reconfigure themselves without the complexity of power cords. examples of configurations and use cases for are shown in figure 2. these configurations consist of a) robots working in parallel to perform independent or cooperative work, b) a long arm for grabbing incoming spacecraft, c) a to carry objects while moving, and d) a torso with multiple arms for manipulating large objects. the use cases include e) three limbs working together to build a chain of parts, and f) a holding a large object. in the future, might help build a large orbiting structure, such as a solar farm or an facility. they could unpack structural components and climb out along the structure as they build it, using built-in power lines instead of carrying tethers or batteries. alternatively, they might staff an orbiting spacecraft factory, where they would crawl around on trusses or walk on a floor. there, they would grab incoming shipments, unpack spacecraft components, assemble a solar panel array, and attach tanks, batteries, and instruments to the spacecraft hull. they could be embedded in either of these settings and meet manipulation demands over many years of factory use and multiple spacecraft design cycles.	ˈfɪgjər 1 ə ˈlæbrəˌtɔri ˈproʊtoʊˌtaɪp əv ə

image copyright reuters image caption german chancellor angela merkel is seen here arriving at the council headquarters on friday the brussels summit has ended without agreement on the union's next budget. a bbc correspondent says another meeting will have to be called to sort out the difficulties but it is unclear how differences will be resolved. european council chief herman van said he was confident a deal would be reached early next year. hours of talks failed to bridge big gaps between richer countries and those which rely most on funding. the said current spending levels must be frozen. angela merkel and i both agreed that it would be better to take some time out francois, french president the's divisions are very clear and have become even more stark at a time of economic crisis, says the bbc's chris morris in brussels. mr van had reshuffled the allocations in his original proposed budget during the summit, but he kept in place a spending ceiling ofros (£783bn; $1.2tn). with therozone's dominant states, germany and france, unable to agree on the budget, prime minister david cameron had warned against "unaffordable spending". the failure to decide on a budget came just days after the finance ministers of the 17rozone states failed to agree on conditions for releasing a new tranche of bailout money to greece, raising questions about the union's decision-making process. 'no threats' mr van's budget had been unacceptable to a number of other countries, not just britain, mr cameron told reporters. analysis the summit laid bare clear divisions between richer northern countries in the, and the poorer south and east. it mirrored the divide that has emerged in therozone between northern creditors and southern debtors. but the uneasy relationship between france and germany also played a role - when they don't agree, things tend to move slowly. germany wanted further cuts in the budget proposal - not as many as britain and others - but cuts all the same. france on the other hand, supported by italy and spain, was keen to defend the's biggest spending projects. so striking a deal at a second summit in the new year won't be at all easy. but there are two reasons to think that it might succeed. one is that failure to reach an agreement would mean the falling back on more expensive annual budgets. the other is that many people are keen to avoid a prolonged budget stalemate, which could divert attention from other more important issues - notably the need to take more steps to resolve the crisis in therozone. "together, we had a very clear message: 'we are not going to be tough on budgets at home just to come here and sign up to big increases inropean spending'," he said. "we haven't got the deal we wanted but we've stopped what would have been an unacceptable deal," he added. "and inropean terms i think that goes down as progress." german chancellor angela merkel said she was sympathetic towards mr cameron's view - but no more than she was to all countries involved in the discussion. "the discussions, both the bilateral discussions and the common discussion, have shown us that there is sufficient potential for an agreement," she added. french president francois said the summit had made "progress". "there were no threats, no ultimatums," he told reporters. "angela merkel and i both agreed that it would be better to take some time out because we want there to be an agreement." without naming the, he also said it was time the system of budget rebates was reconsidered. "it is a paradox, because some net contributors countries that pay in more than they get back] get some of the money back even though they are in a situation where they are wealthy enough for them not to get this money back," he said. lithuanian president dalia remarked that the atmosphere at the summit had been "surprisingly good because the divergence in opinions was so large that there was nothing to argue about". european commission chief jose manuel barroso said the talks had failed owing to "important differences of opinion - especially in overall size of the budget". revisions the commission, which drafts laws, had originally called for a budget ofros. media playback is unsupported on your device media caption prime minister david cameron: "we still believe a deal is do-able" its position was supported by theropean parliament and many countries which are net beneficiaries, including poland, hungary and spain. while most members supported some increase in the budget, several, mostly the big net contributors, argued it was unacceptable at a time of austerity. germany, the, france and italy are the biggest net contributors to the budget, which amounts to about 1% of the's overall gdp. mr van's revised budget would have softened the blow to the two main areas of spending: development in the's poorer regions, and agriculture. instead, there would have been greater cuts to energy, transport, broadband and the's foreign service. his proposal, put to leaders on thursday evening, would have made no change to the level of administrative costs - something the might have found unacceptable. speaking after the summit, mr van said: "my feeling is that we can go further... it has to be balanced and well prepared, not in the mood of improvisation, because we are touching upon jobs, we are touching upon sensitive issues." failure to agree on the budget by the end of next year would mean rolling over the 2013 budget into 2014 on a basis, putting some long-term projects at risk. analysts say that could leave the in a worse position, because the 2013 budget is bigger than the preceding years of the budget.	ˈɪmɪʤ ˈkɑpiˌraɪt ˈrɔɪtərz ˈɪmɪʤ ˈkæpʃən ˈʤərmən ˈʧænsələr ˈænʤələ ˈmərkəl ɪz sin hir ərˈaɪvɪŋ æt ðə ˈkaʊnsəl ˈhɛdˌkɔrtərz ɔn ˈfraɪˌdeɪ ðə ˈbrəsəlz ˈsəmɪt həz ˈɛndɪd wɪˈθaʊt əˈgrimənt ɔn ðə ˈjunjənz nɛkst ˈbəʤɪt. ə ˌbibiˈsi ˌkɔrəˈspɑndənt sɪz əˈnəðər ˈmitɪŋ wɪl hæv tɪ bi kɔld tɪ sɔrt aʊt ðə ˈdɪfɪˌkəltiz bət ɪt ɪz ənˈklɪr haʊ ˈdɪfərənsɪz wɪl bi riˈzɑlvd. ˌjʊrəˈpiən ˈkaʊnsəl ʧif ˈhərmən væn sɛd hi wɑz ˈkɑnfədənt ə dil wʊd bi riʧt ˈərli nɛkst jɪr. aʊərz əv tɔks feɪld tɪ brɪʤ bɪg gæps bɪtˈwin ˈrɪʧər ˈkəntriz ənd ðoʊz wɪʧ rɪˈlaɪ moʊst ɔn ˈfəndɪŋ. ðə sɛd ˈkɑrənt ˈspɛndɪŋ ˈlɛvəlz məst bi ˈfroʊzən. ˈænʤələ ˈmərkəl ənd aɪ boʊθ əˈgrid ðət ɪt wʊd bi ˈbɛtər tɪ teɪk səm taɪm aʊt frɑnsˈwɑ, frɛnʧ ˈprɛzɪdənt ðə dɪˈvɪʒənz ər ˈvɛri klɪr ənd hæv bɪˈkəm ˈivɪn mɔr stɑrk æt ə taɪm əv ˌɛkəˈnɑmɪk ˈkraɪsəs, sɪz ðə ˌbibiˈsis krɪs ˈmɔrɪs ɪn ˈbrəsəlz. ˈmɪstər væn hæd riˈʃəfəld ðə ˌæləˈkeɪʃənz ɪn hɪz ərˈɪʤənəl prəˈpoʊzd ˈbəʤɪt ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə ˈsəmɪt, bət hi kɛpt ɪn pleɪs ə ˈspɛndɪŋ ˈsilɪŋ əv ˈjuˌroʊz £783bn; 1.2tn). wɪθ ðə ˈdɑmənənt steɪts, ˈʤərməni ənd fræns, əˈneɪbəl tɪ əˈgri ɔn ðə ˈbəʤɪt, praɪm ˈmɪnɪstər ˈdeɪvɪd ˈkæmərən hæd wɔrnd əˈgɛnst "ənəˈfɔrdəbəl ˈspɛndɪŋ". ðə ˈfeɪljər tɪ ˌdɪˈsaɪd ɔn ə ˈbəʤɪt keɪm ʤɪst deɪz ˈæftər ðə ˈfaɪˌnæns ˈmɪnɪstərz əv ðə 17 steɪts feɪld tɪ əˈgri ɔn kənˈdɪʃənz fər riˈlisɪŋ ə nu trænʧ əv ˈbeɪˌlaʊt ˈməni tɪ gris, ˈreɪzɪŋ kˈwɛsʧənz əˈbaʊt ðə ˈjunjənz dɪˈsɪʒənˌmeɪkɪŋ ˈprɔˌsɛs.

close just in time for the holidays, gas prices drop to below $2 a gallon in some parts of the country. linda so reports. missouri gas prices are the cheapest in the nation as of dec. 19, 2014.: valerie mosley, springfield (mo.) news-leader) springfield, mo. just in time for a holiday road trip, gas prices in many places in middle of the country have dipped below $2 a gallon. and here in missouri, close to the geographic center of the usa, is where drivers can find the cheapest gas as of friday, according to gasbuddy.com. "as of this morning, there are 24 states with prices under $2 a gallon. but missouri is lowest," said patrick dehaan, senior petroleum analyst. in springfield, gas prices at some locations have dipped to $1.96 for a gallon of regular unleaded. they'll continue to drop for a while, dehaan said. some surrounding towns like republic and typically have even lower prices than springfield. the last time gas hit $1.99 a gallon in missouri was june 2009. "it's not guaranteed, of course. but we think they'll drop a little more, 5 to 15 cents a gallon," he said. “my manager came in and changed it. everyone went crazy.” jessica henke, greenville, mich. areas east of nashville, tenn., also are reporting prices of less than $2. "the gas at my exit, ferry road (off interstate 40), is $1.99," said doak turner of nashville. "three stations next to each other is great!" american automobile association travel analysts estimate that current gas prices, which are at their lowest since 2008, are likely to drop as much as 7 cents by christmas and possibly 7 more cents by new year's. because of higher fuel taxes, some states won't crack the $2 barrier, dehaan said. thirteen states, many in the south, have gas taxes of less than 40 cents a gallon, according to the american petroleum institute. seventeen states' gas taxes are more than 50 cents a gallon. among the states with the highest gas taxes: california at cents, new york at cents and hawaii at cents. the lowest gas tax? alaska at cents a gallon. the federal portion of that pie is cents. stations in greenville, mich., began selling $1.99 gas on dec. 16, 2014.: tony love, wzzm-tv, grand creek, mich.) in chicago, where dehaan is based, the price of regular unleaded was $2.74 a gallon. illinois' gas tax is cents a gallon vs. cents in missouri. "i wish, but it's not going to happen," dehaan said of $2 gas in the chicago area. "there's no way oil producers would continue producing at 99 cents a gallon. at that price, it's more expensive for them to just pump the oil." but prices below $2 are possible in some states. some citgo stations in western michigan, where taxes are cents of the price, popped below $2 tuesday. "my manager came in and changed it. everyone went crazy," said jessica henke, a citgo employee in greenville, mich. "i had one lady come in and hand me $10 to fill up her truck. she couldn't believe it." regular unleaded gas prices peaked this year in late june at about $3.70 a gallon nationwide, according to the u.s. energy information administration. this week the nationwide average is $2.55. the most recent plunge was triggered in september when saudi arabian oil officials voluntarily cut crude oil prices, dehaan said. the average car has a 12- to tank, so customers are keeping at least $14 to $17 more in their pockets now compared with six months ago. suv and truck owners, the ones with even bigger tanks, are feeling even richer after a trip to the pump. "it doesn't take me much gas to go back and forth to work," said kathleen sagitano, who was filling up on $1.99 gas at fuel city in dallas. "but still, if i can fill my tank up just once a week, that's awesome! it's really great. now i wish i had a truck." that's the sword for many economists. people feel better off when gas prices are lower because they have more money left at the end of the week, but cheap gas also brings back a longing for bigger, vehicles and more travel, which in the long run can hurt the environment. don't expect these exceptionally low prices to last, dehaan said. refineries will begin switching to a more expensive summer blend of gasoline in mid-spring, which they do every year to reduce air pollution, and that fuel will work its way to the pumps by june 1. contributing: jordan buie, the tennessean; christopher zoladz, wzzm-tv, grand creek, mich.; and carla wade, wfaa-tv, worth. a couple dozen vehicles line up for $1.99 regular unleaded at a valero gas station dec. 15, 2014, in phoenix.: tom tingle, the arizona republic) read or share this story:	kloʊz ʤɪst ɪn taɪm fər ðə ˈhɑləˌdeɪz, gæs ˈpraɪsɪz drɔp tɪ bɪˈloʊ 2 ə ˈgælən ɪn səm pɑrts əv ðə ˈkəntri. ˈlɪndə soʊ rɪˈpɔrts. məˈzʊri gæs ˈpraɪsɪz ər ðə ˈʧipəst ɪn ðə ˈneɪʃən ɛz əv dɛk. 19 2014 ˈvæləri ˈmoʊzli, ˈsprɪŋˌfild (moʊ.) news-leader) ˈsprɪŋˌfild, moʊ. ʤɪst ɪn taɪm fər ə ˈhɑlɪˌdeɪ roʊd trɪp, gæs ˈpraɪsɪz ɪn ˈmɛni ˈpleɪsɪz ɪn ˈmɪdəl əv ðə ˈkəntri hæv dɪpt bɪˈloʊ 2 ə ˈgælən. ənd hir ɪn məˈzʊri, kloʊz tɪ ðə ˌʤiəˈgræfɪk ˈsɛnər əv ðə ˈjuˈɛˈseɪ, ɪz wɛr ˈdraɪvərz kən faɪnd ðə ˈʧipəst gæs ɛz əv ˈfraɪˌdeɪ, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ gasbuddy.com.

college. welcoming everyone in his opening message, talked about the early days of the college. he outlined the significant and major events in the history of in and how far it has gone to become the 'center of excellence in fisheries education' in the country. saclauso expressed his desire for the to continue in contributing significantly in enhancing regional, national, and international development in fisheries as well as in generating globally competitive human resource. the college was named center of excellence in fisheries education by the commission on higher education from and as a national university / college of agriculture / fisheries (nucaf) under the philippine national agriculture and fisheries (nucaf) for 2016. it has been a consistent top performing school in the fisheries technologists licensure exam in the country. dr. augusto e. serrano, jr. delivered the agustin f. distinguished lecture. serrano is a faculty member of the institute of aquaculture, and a up scientist iii. his lecture was on “rna sequencing using next generation sequencing (ngs) in aquaculture research.” according to him, “rna sequencing using is a powerful tool for aquaculture to gain better understanding of the roles of functional elements in the aquaculture genome that directly or indirectly affect the developmental, growth, metabolism, immunity, behavior, reproduction and various other processes of an organism.” another important activity held in the foundation day celebration was the “parade of achievements” which recognized the achievements of the faculty, reps, staff, and students. these achievements include the honorific scholars among undergraduate and graduate students, the paper and poster in the national and international conferences, the top 10 passers in the fisheries board exam (2015-2016), one up professorial chair and one up faculty grant, and the up scientists. this was followed by a solidarity lunch and other student activities in the afternoon, which include a contest for the logo with five entries and “your face sounds familiar.” the students also participated in various games that took place the following day. the’ foundation day is part of the year anniversary of the up presence in iloilo, which is being celebrated from february, 2017 with the theme, “enhancing service learning through community partnership.”	ðə ˈkɑlɪʤ əv

morrowind was the first true elder scrolls game. as far as i know, one of's expansions introduced the ability to play as a werewolf. oblivion introduced fully voiced npcs, companions, horses, radiant ai, and physics based combat. fallout 3 brought the bethesda to a more modern setting, and introduced guns, and the v.a.t.s. introduced dual-wielding, dragons, and shouts.'s introduced the ability to become a vampire lord, and the ability to customize your own house. fallout 4 brought a fully voiced player character, dialogue cameras, a companion relationship system, radiant quests (i know, i know... another settlement), and a complex system of structures and settlements. special edition and fallout 4 also introduced fully integrated mod support. each of these incremental improvements and additions gets refined, and built on in the games that follow to the point that many of them get taken for granted. however, i'd like to discuss one feature in particular, and how i hope to see it implemented in the elder scrolls vi. and that is the housing that was introduced in's, and greatly improved on with settlements in fallout 4. in, the player was given the option to pick a predetermined location from a few options where they could build their own house. the player then interacted with a crafting table to actually build and furnish their house. players sifted through menus of things they could build, starting with a foundation, then walls, etc. however, when you crafted one of these things, they were placed in a predetermined location, and you only got a chance to see what it looked like after you had built it. once you got the structure built, you could furnish the inside. this, unfortunately, was still done using the crafting table menu. you had to select the name of the room you wanted an object in, and then select from a list of somewhat vague terms for objects, and hope you picked the right one. i accidentally placed a fire pit right in the middle of the foyer, because the options didn't make sense to me. i couldn't really figure out how to move it, either. it was an interesting concept, but it felt a bit too complicated for me to really bother with it much. it was easier to just use one of the dozen houses i already owned. fallout 4 took this rough concept, and really ran with it. while you were still confined to a predetermined location, you could build wherever you wanted within that area. on top of that, you weren't confined to a predetermined structure. by giving you access to modular pieces, fallout 4 let you build as little or as much as you wanted (within a limit to prevent the game from crashing). want to build 4 small houses? that's cool. want to build one huge hotel? go for it! and instead of building through a system of menus, you could hand place everything to get it just right. and if you decided you didn't like where it was, you were free to pick it up and move it, or destroy it and start from scratch. fallout 4 also gave you a wealth of options for structures and furniture, so you could really customize your creations.	morrowind* wɑz ðə fərst tru ˈɛldər skroʊlz geɪm. ɛz fɑr ɛz aɪ noʊ, wən əv ɪkˈspænʧənz ˌɪntrəˈdust ðə əˈbɪləˌti tɪ pleɪ ɛz ə ˈwɛrˌwʊlf. əˈblɪviən ˌɪntrəˈdust ˈfʊli vɔɪst npcs, kəmˈpænjənz, ˈhɔrsɪz, ˈreɪˌdiənt eɪaɪ, ənd ˈfɪzɪks beɪst ˈkɑmbæt. ˈfɔˌlaʊt 3 brɔt ðə bəˈθɛzdə tɪ ə mɔr ˈmɑdərn ˈsɛtɪŋ, ənd ˌɪntrəˈdust gənz, ənd ðə v.a.t.s. ˌɪntrəˈdust dual-wielding*, ˈdrægənz, ənd ʃaʊts. ˌɪntrəˈdust ðə əˈbɪləˌti tɪ bɪˈkəm ə ˈvæmpaɪr lɔrd, ənd ðə əˈbɪləˌti tɪ ˈkəstəˌmaɪz jʊr oʊn haʊs. ˈfɔˌlaʊt 4 brɔt ə ˈfʊli vɔɪst pleɪər ˈkɛrɪktər, ˈdaɪəˌlɔg ˈkæmərəz, ə kəmˈpænjən riˈleɪʃənˌʃɪp ˈsɪstəm, ˈreɪˌdiənt kwɛsts (aɪ noʊ, aɪ noʊ... əˈnəðər ˈsɛtəlmənt), ənd ə ˈkɑmplɛks ˈsɪstəm əv ˈstrəkʧərz ənd ˈsɛtəlmənts. ˈspɛʃəl ɪˈdɪʃən ənd ˈfɔˌlaʊt 4 ˈɔlsoʊ ˌɪntrəˈdust ˈfʊli ˈɪnəˌgreɪtɪd mɔd səˈpɔrt. iʧ əv ðiz ˌɪnkrəˈmɛntəl ˌɪmˈpruvmənts ənd əˈdɪʃənz gɪts rɪˈfaɪnd, ənd bɪlt ɔn ɪn ðə geɪmz ðət ˈfɑloʊ tɪ ðə pɔɪnt ðət ˈmɛni əv ðɛm gɪt ˈteɪkən fər ˈgrænɪd. ˌhaʊˈɛvər, aɪd laɪk tɪ dɪˈskəs wən ˈfiʧər ɪn ˌpɑˈtɪkjələr, ənd haʊ aɪ hoʊp tɪ si ɪt ˈɪmpləˌmɛnəd ɪn ðə ˈɛldər skroʊlz vi. ənd ðət ɪz ðə ˈhaʊzɪŋ ðət wɑz ˌɪntrəˈdust ɪn, ənd ˈgreɪtli ˌɪmˈpruvd ɔn wɪθ ˈsɛtəlmənts ɪn ˈfɔˌlaʊt 4 ɪn, ðə pleɪər wɑz ˈgɪvɪn ðə ˈɔpʃən tɪ pɪk ə ˌpridiˈtərmɪnd loʊˈkeɪʃən frəm ə fju ˈɔpʃənz wɛr ðeɪ kʊd bɪld ðɛr oʊn haʊs. ðə pleɪər ðɛn ˌɪnərˈæktəd wɪθ ə ˈkræftɪŋ ˈteɪbəl tɪ ˈæˌkʧuəli bɪld ənd ˈfərnɪʃ ðɛr haʊs. pleɪərz ˈsɪftɪd θru ˈmɛnjuz əv θɪŋz ðeɪ kʊd bɪld, ˈstɑrtɪŋ wɪθ ə faʊnˈdeɪʃən, ðɛn wɔlz, ˌɛtˈsɛtərə. ˌhaʊˈɛvər, wɪn ju ˈkræftɪd wən əv ðiz θɪŋz, ðeɪ wər pleɪst ɪn ə ˌpridiˈtərmɪnd loʊˈkeɪʃən, ənd ju ˈoʊnli gɑt ə ʧæns tɪ si wət ɪt lʊkt laɪk ˈæftər ju hæd bɪlt ɪt. wəns ju gɑt ðə ˈstrəkʧər bɪlt, ju kʊd ˈfərnɪʃ ðə ˌɪnˈsaɪd. ðɪs, ənˈfɔrʧənətli, wɑz stɪl dən ˈjuzɪŋ ðə ˈkræftɪŋ ˈteɪbəl ˈmɛnju. ju hæd tɪ səˈlɛkt ðə neɪm əv ðə rum ju ˈwɔntɪd ən ˈɑbʤɛkt ɪn, ənd ðɛn səˈlɛkt frəm ə lɪst əv ˈsəmˈwət veɪg tərmz fər ˈɑbʤɛkts, ənd hoʊp ju pɪkt ðə raɪt wən. aɪ ˌæksəˈdɛnəli pleɪst ə faɪər pɪt raɪt ɪn ðə ˈmɪdəl əv ðə fɔɪər, bɪˈkəz ðə ˈɔpʃənz ˈdɪdənt meɪk sɛns tɪ mi. aɪ ˈkʊdənt ˈrɪli ˈfɪgjər aʊt haʊ tɪ muv ɪt, ˈiðər. ɪt wɑz ən ˈɪntəˌrɛstɪŋ ˈkɑnsɛpt, bət ɪt fɛlt ə bɪt tu ˈkɑmpləˌkeɪtəd fər mi tɪ ˈrɪli ˈbɑðər wɪθ ɪt məʧ. ɪt wɑz ˈiziər tɪ ʤɪst juz wən əv ðə ˈdəzən ˈhaʊsɪz aɪ ɔˈrɛdi oʊnd. ˈfɔˌlaʊt 4 tʊk ðɪs rəf ˈkɑnsɛpt, ənd ˈrɪli ræn wɪθ ɪt. waɪl ju wər stɪl kənˈfaɪnd tɪ ə ˌpridiˈtərmɪnd loʊˈkeɪʃən, ju kʊd bɪld wɛˈrɛvər ju ˈwɔntɪd wɪˈθɪn ðət ˈɛriə. ɔn tɔp əv ðət, ju wərənt kənˈfaɪnd tɪ ə ˌpridiˈtərmɪnd ˈstrəkʧər. baɪ ˈgɪvɪŋ ju ˈækˌsɛs tɪ ˈmɑʤələr ˈpisɪz, ˈfɔˌlaʊt 4 lɛt ju bɪld ɛz ˈlɪtəl ər ɛz məʧ ɛz ju ˈwɔntɪd (wɪˈθɪn ə ˈlɪmət tɪ prɪˈvɛnt ðə geɪm frəm ˈkræʃɪŋ). wɔnt tɪ bɪld 4 smɔl ˈhaʊsɪz?

navy seals conduct a capabilities exercise at joint expeditionary base little story on virginia beach, virginia, july 21, 2012. beginning in, navy seals will be conducting war games across washington coastal areas, including through public and private property. (photo: mass communication specialist class william s. parker / us navy) these exclusive navy documents outline plans for combat training exercises along vast areas of washington state coastline.ch shows the areas the navy is prepared to utilize. beginning in, navy seals will be practicing unannounced and clandestine combat beach landings across washington puget sound and many other coastal areas of that state. the simulated combat exercises, which will include the use of and other landing craft, will deposit navy seals carrying “simulated weapons” on 68 beach and state park areas in puget sound, the strait of juan de and west coast, unbeknownst to most of the relevant government agencies tasked with overseeing these areas. internal navy emails, two slide shows (which can be viewed in full here and here) and other documents obtained exclusively by reveal the vast extent of the operations. they also reveal the fact that the navy labeled the relevant files as “for official use only” and emails as “attorney-client privilege,” a move that exempts such documents from the freedom of information act (foia). the navy has planned exercises that could take place, according to their own maps, along the entirety of washington coastlines. (image: document obtained by jamail) public concern for what is clearly an ongoing domestic military expansionism is growing. in the new scenario, which the military calls “realistic military training,” navy seals carrying “simulated” weapons may also travel across public and private property within city limits, and may swim through public and private marinas occupied by people living on boats. they could conduct war game patrols on roads through residential communities. in addition to tribal, state, federal and county lands, there are many properties on the list of training sites marked as private. naval plans include the use of special reconnaissance teams conducting patrols, which are authorized to go on simulated “direct action” missions. the definition of “direct action” is “short-duration strikes and other offensive actions conducted as a special operation in hostile, denied, or politically sensitive environments and which employ specialized military capabilities to seize, destroy, capture, exploit, recover, or damage designated targets.” public concern for what is clearly an ongoing domestic military expansionism is growing. despite some strange conspiracy theories around operation jade helm in 2015, the operation also provoked a very real concern: the spread of the military into residential and public areas. this, coupled with several recently documented instances of abusive, unlawful behavior by navy seals overseas, has many people alarmed by what is to come. war games in peace parks across washington, the upcoming war game exercises, which are slated to begin january 14, will be carried out across 68 beach areas around the state, many of which lie within the boundaries of state parks. many of these beaches are popular with the public and contain campgrounds and marinas. according to maps in the two slide shows obtained, navy seal activities will occur well inland from the beaches.ch site for the exercises will be “utilized” two to eight times per year, and “events” can last between two and 72 hours. naval maps of the areas where the exercises will occur show large areas where “surveillance and reconnaissance” will occur, along with “direct action” areas and “insertion and extraction” zones. according to the documents, a “safety” buffer of 500 to meters will also be maintained by a navy support team in boats, vehicles and on foot, which will prevent bystanders from entering the areas. “they have exempted themselves from disclosing to the public the full scope and nature of their actions.” this amounts to periodic closings of public land, including state parks and fishing areas, with no public comment periods or government oversight. given that some of the exercises will entail navy seals swimming through marinas where people live on their boats, along with exercises and patrols through residential neighborhoods and private land, maintaining a “safety” barrier of 500 to meters simply does not seem possible. one of many areas slated for direct actions in the plans is fort worden state park, on the northeast tip of the olympic peninsula. the navy has designated a large area atop a hill there a place that contains popular public trails and picnic areas for its war exercises. the hilltop location includes a seating area for quiet contemplation, called vault, which is referred to as a “peace park.” the public in the area will likely interpret the use of this portion of the park as another of the many gestures of contempt they have seen from the military. according to karen sullivan, former assistant regional director at the us fish and wildlife division of external affairs and a retired endangered species biologist, the actions are also illegal. sullivan has worked in the division for over 15 years, and is an expert in the bureaucratic procedures the navy is supposed to be following. she is now part of the west coast action alliance, one of two large multistate and international citizen groups that have tasked themselves with the navy, due to what they believe are ongoing violations of the law, blatant acts of disrespect toward human and environmental health, and ongoing bellicose behavior by the military branch. according to sullivan, the actions are a violation of several laws, including the national environmental policy act, administrative procedures act, national historic preservation act and possibly others, as well as a violation of the public trust doctrine. “they have exempted themselves from disclosing to the public, and even to state and federal agencies, the full scope and nature of their actions, in order to segment them into smaller pieces that individually may look harmless but cumulatively have big impacts,” sullivan told. the method essentially ensures that it will get its way. in one example, the navy, without any consultation with the state of washington, recently concluded that the war games would have no effect on historic and cultural properties including those belonging to indigenous tribes and therefore there was no need to consult with the state or with tribes on the new sites for 2016. sullivan expressed deep concerns about the exercises the navy has planned for washington coastlines and the communities near them. “having navy seal kill teams in battle gear conducting war games around private homes and public beaches, parks, campgrounds and marinas is going to have a big effect on the people living and recreating there,” she said. “besides potentially creating public fear and confusion, the navy will close off the areas war gaming in. that require a public process?” connie gallant is the board president of the olympic forest coalition, a group that promotes the protection, conservation and restoration of natural forest ecosystems and their processes on the olympic peninsula. like sullivan, she agrees that while the military needs to train, the methods the navy is employing across washington are unacceptable. “navy seals must be for any situation,” she told. “however, given the fact that there are already many beaches throughout the country where they are currently training, in addition to having a new pacific ocean complex in san diego county that adds million square feet of coastal development, i question the need to add our pristine beaches to their inventory. landing on the beaches is only the first step; combat training typically includes the use of ordnance weapons.” gallant sees the use of fort worden state park in particular as an egregious example of what the exercises can do to a area. “because fort worden was a military base long ago and is now a historical park, this may give the navy a good excuse to reclaim it as yet another area thereby preventing us from enjoying our leisurely walks, exercises, environmental training of marine life, bird watching, photographing, and communing with nature. paradise ruined,” she said. truthout has reported extensively on the negative impacts the war gaming has had, and will have, on wildlife around the region. nevertheless, the navy is poised to move forward with its exercises, and according to sullivan, it is doing so using nefarious, illegal methods. “the navy will retrofit an environmental assessment [ea] for the places where already done their war games all around puget sound, but eight new sites for 2016 will likely be exempted from the via a ‘categorical exclusion,'” she said. “this is illegal because the new sites are a part of the big picture and cannot legally be separated from them.” naval documents show specific areas, like this state park area, where beach landings of seal teams could take place, including areas where war gaming could take place. (image: document obtained by jamail) categorical exclusion the navy is using an exemption process called a categorical exclusion (catex) as a means of sidestepping federal regulations that could prohibit its use of these areas for exercises. by definition, a categorical exclusion is “a category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment, and, for which, therefore, neither an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required.” according to an email obtained by, the navy intends to issue its own on some of the seal activities as a means to segment and hide the full scope of its actions. other communications have revealed that the navy will retrofit an for the big action but will continue to pieces of it to keep it going. the email also said, the navy, without any consultation or concurrence with state historic preservation officer [shpo], has concluded in the that there is no effect on historic properties and therefore no need to consult with the shpo.” the method essentially ensures that it will get its way, as there is not going to be time for a full and legitimate and public process period between now and (in just a few days), when it begins its exercises for at least the second year in a row. a glance at the code of federal regulation citation for this shows that the actions are anything but uncontroversial, or consistent with federal, state or local laws. they certainly do not fall into the categories of public transportation, emergency utility repairs or improvements to existing rest areas and weigh stations, for which categorical exclusions were originally intended. hence, in the case of these upcoming exercises across washington state coastlines, the navy is issuing its own categorical exclusions for a massive amount of covert training in areas. by doing so, it is circumventing state, local and possibly federal governments by concluding “no significant impacts” in its own assessments and it continues to proceed in secret. “realistic military training” the navy defines realistic military training (rmt) as training that is “conducted outside of federally owned property.” hence, according to that definition and according to the us special operations command (socom), the process is theoretically designed to ensure coordination between us department of defense representatives and local and regional officials in the areas where their exercises are to be conducted. steps like risk assessments, medical plans, surveys of training areas and coordinating their activities with local, state and federal law enforcement officials are supposed to be mandatory. however, in the upcoming coastal exercise, not one of the measures listed by has been offered to the public or to local or state officials in washington, and no publicly exists that such measures have ever been considered. according to, the purpose of is “[t]o hone advanced skills, [and] the military and interagency require large areas of undeveloped land with low population densities with access to small towns.” yet, many of the areas outlined in the documents for their upcoming exercises take place in populated areas, on developed land. well over people live on the olympic peninsula alone, and olympic national park hosts 3 million visitors per year. “the navy has millions of acres of defense department land to train in. why do they need to invade our neighborhoods, too?” “this is particularly galling with navy seals about to conduct insertions, extractions, launch and recovery, special reconnaissance and other activities with ‘simulated weapons’ in populated areas without the knowledge of the public,” sullivan said. “training like that cannot be considered anything but. the fact that the public is completely unaware of it because the navy has not notified them, despite legal obligations via nepa [national environmental policy act] and policy obligations as described in the presentation, is further evidence of its intent to deceive the public and circumvent the law.” there are numerous other-type events that have occurred around the united states in recent years, including “urban” training events in various communities around the country. a december 2015 us army report titled “intelligence support to urban operations” addresses challenges facing military action in an urban environment. “with the continuing growth in the urban areas and increasing population concentrations in urban areas, the probability that army forces will conduct operations in urban environments is ever more likely,” the manual states. clearly, the training in washington is also focused along these lines as well. “the enemy situation is often extremely fluid locals friendly to us today may be belligerents,” the manual continues. “adversaries seek to blend in with the local population to avoid being captured or killed. enemy forces who are familiar with the city layout have an inherently superior awareness of the current situation.” military training for combat in urban environments, like the upcoming exercises in washington, has been ongoing at bases around the country, with the goal of preparing soldiers for engagements within urban environments. as recently as march 2015 in south carolina, operation vigilant guard saw large deployments of troops in civilian areas for training. sullivan sees these actions, and in particular the upcoming naval exercises across washington state, in an insidious light. “the real story here is the fact that kill teams in training will be conducting covert operations in and around residential communities and on public lands without our knowledge,” she said. sullivan believes the general public needs to be concerned about the actions, along with the ongoing domestic military expansion as a whole, because they both present “an unprecedented and unlawful taking of public and private space for military activity.” she points out that there is no plausible justification for the incursion into urban areas. “the navy has millions of acres of defense department land to train in,” sullivan said. “now using and closing portions of our national forests. why do they need to invade our neighborhoods, too?” she also sees another threat from the exercises in state parks and private lands: the normalization of military activity “in our lives and in places where it has historically never been.” like gallant, sullivan is not opposed to the military conducting trainings, in itself. she objects to the training happening in places where people live, work and recreate, and without the informed consent of the public. “we object to the shell game that has passed for public process,” sullivan said. “we object to the apparent contempt for the laws of the land, and to the fact that the military is steadily moving off the millions of acres of land the public has given it for training, in order to practice warfare among us, the very citizens it is supposed to protect.”	ˈneɪvi silz ˈkɑndəkt ə ˌkeɪpəˈbɪlətiz ˈɛksərˌsaɪz æt ʤɔɪnt ˌɛkspəˈdɪʃəˌnɛri beɪs ˈlɪtəl ˈstɔri ɔn

syria took a break on tuesday from its gruesome civil war to announce plans to sign the paris climate agreement, leaving the united states as the only country to reject the deal. the announcement came at the conference of the parties in bonn, germany, the biggest climate conference. the non-binding paris accord, through which signatories pledge to reduce emissions of gases over the coming decades, was brokered in 2015, when the annual conference was held in the french capital. the deal was considered historic because it was the first climate agreement to include the u.s. the biggest historic emitter, with by far the largest carbon footprint and china, which currently produces the most carbon pollution on a national level. the u.s. took a lead role in shaping the deal. only syria and nicaragua, which protested the failure to impose strict demands on major polluters, refused to sign. but president donald trump, who rejects scientists’ warnings about climate change, announced plans to withdraw from the pact in june, insisting developing nations received more benefits and the u.s. got none. in his announcement which, under the terms of the deal, fully go into effect until november 2020 trump seemed to conflate the accord with a trade deal, demonstrating what was widely described as a poor understanding of how the paris agreement actually works. “like the playground bully that eventually loses all his friends, donald trump has isolated himself on the world stage,” joe ware, a spokesman for the charity christian aid, said in a statement. “when even syria, with all its problems, can see the sense of a global climate agreement it really shows how ideologically wedded to climate the us republican party has become.”	ˈsɪriə tʊk ə breɪk ɔn ˈtuzˌdeɪ frəm ɪts ˈgrusəm ˈsɪvəl wɔr tɪ əˈnaʊns plænz tɪ saɪn ðə ˈpɛrɪs ˈklaɪmɪt əˈgrimənt, ˈlivɪŋ ðə juˈnaɪtɪd steɪts ɛz ðə ˈoʊnli ˈkəntri tɪ ˈriʤɛkt ðə dil. ðə əˈnaʊnsmɛnt keɪm æt ðə ˈkɑnfərəns əv ðə ˈpɑrtiz ɪn bɑn, ˈʤərməni, ðə ˈbɪgəst ˈklaɪmɪt ˈkɑnfərəns. ðə ˈnɑnˈbaɪndɪŋ ˈpɛrɪs əˈkɔrd, θru wɪʧ ˈsɪgnəˌtɔriz plɛʤ tɪ rɪˈdus ɪˈmɪʃənz əv ˈgæsɪz ˈoʊvər ðə ˈkəmɪŋ ˈdɛkeɪdz, wɑz ˈbroʊkərd ɪn 2015 wɪn ðə ˈænjuəl ˈkɑnfərəns wɑz hɛld ɪn ðə frɛnʧ ˈkæpɪtəl. ðə dil wɑz kənˈsɪdərd hɪˈstɔrɪk bɪˈkəz ɪt wɑz ðə fərst ˈklaɪmɪt əˈgrimənt tɪ ˌɪnˈklud ðə juz. ðə ˈbɪgəst hɪˈstɔrɪk ɪˈmɪtər, wɪθ baɪ fɑr ðə ˈlɑrʤəst ˈkɑrbən ˈfʊtˌprɪnt ənd ˈʧaɪnə, wɪʧ ˈkərəntli prəˈdusɪz ðə moʊst ˈkɑrbən pəˈluʃən ɔn ə ˈnæʃənəl ˈlɛvəl. ðə juz. tʊk ə lɛd roʊl ɪn ˈʃeɪpɪŋ ðə dil. ˈoʊnli ˈsɪriə ənd ˌnɪkərˈɑgwə, wɪʧ ˈproʊˌtɛstəd ðə ˈfeɪljər tɪ ˌɪmˈpoʊz strɪkt dɪˈmændz ɔn ˈmeɪʤər pəˈlutərz, rɪfˈjuzd tɪ saɪn. bət ˈprɛzɪdənt ˈdɑnəld trəmp, hu ˈriʤɛkts scientists’’ ˈwɔrnɪŋz əˈbaʊt ˈklaɪmɪt ʧeɪnʤ, əˈnaʊnst plænz tɪ wɪθˈdrɔ frəm ðə pækt ɪn ʤun, ˌɪnˈsɪstɪŋ dɪˈvɛləpɪŋ ˈneɪʃənz rɪˈsivd mɔr ˈbɛnəfɪts ənd ðə juz. gɑt nən. ɪn hɪz əˈnaʊnsmɛnt wɪʧ, ˈəndər ðə tərmz əv ðə dil, ˈfʊli goʊ ˈɪntu ˈifɛkt ənˈtɪl noʊˈvɛmbər 2020 trəmp simd tɪ kənˈfleɪt ðə əˈkɔrd wɪθ ə treɪd dil, ˈdɛmənˌstreɪtɪŋ wət wɑz ˈwaɪdli dɪˈskraɪbd ɛz ə pur ˌəndərˈstændɪŋ əv haʊ ðə ˈpɛrɪs əˈgrimənt ˈæˌkʧuəli wərks. ðə ˈpleɪˌgraʊnd ˈbʊli ðət ɪˈvɛnʧəwəli ˈluzɪz ɔl hɪz frɛndz, ˈdɑnəld trəmp həz ˈaɪsəˌleɪtɪd hɪmˈsɛlf ɔn ðə wərld stage,”,” ʤoʊ wɛr, ə ˈspoʊksmən fər ðə ˈʧɛrɪti ˈkrɪsʧɪn eɪd, sɛd ɪn ə ˈsteɪtmənt. ˈivɪn ˈsɪriə, wɪθ ɔl ɪts ˈprɑbləmz, kən si ðə sɛns əv ə ˈgloʊbəl ˈklaɪmɪt əˈgrimənt ɪt ˈrɪli ʃoʊz haʊ ˌaɪdiəˈlɑʤɪkli ˈwɛdɪd tɪ ˈklaɪmɪt ðə ˈjuˈɛs rɪˈpəblɪkən ˈpɑrti həz become.”*.”
saint mary lake in glacier national park, montana. dave in a small cabin that serves as the glacier national park climate change office, dan clicks through photos that clearly show the massive glaciers that give this park its name are in a hasty retreat. “there was a hundred square kilometers of ice in, a united states geological survey researcher who has studied the glaciers of glacier since 1991, explains. “we are down to 14 to 15 square kilometers, so an 85 to 86 percent loss of ice in the park. no doubt they are going to disappear unless some massive cooling happens,” he says, which likely. the flows of mountain streams and rivers throughout the park will dwindle as their sources melt. and one species that will dearly miss the runoff from the glaciers is the meltwater stonefly, an insect only found in a few streams in the park. it will likely disappear when the glaciers vanish, the u.s. fish and wildlife service says. as the united states marks the centennial of the national park service, which was officially established 100 years ago this week, the parks are being widely celebrated for their natural grandeur and vistas, their wildlife, and their abundant recreational opportunities. far less appreciated though is the critical role that the 59 national parks and hundreds of other park service units play in scientific research, providing unspoiled, protected, and accessible landscapes that host research that can be done few other places. in fact, with a long history of data and field study on everything from wildlife to wildfires, the national parks offer scientists an incredibly rare living outdoor lab. and the high profile of the parks in the american imagination often provides an avenue for conveying that research to the public. science and scientific education have long been a key part of the national park mission. research in the parks has blossomed to the point where there currently are scientists working in about 289 of the 412 national park units (which include national monuments and historic sites), conducting some experiments. since 2000, there have been studies. the work falls into two main categories research done to aid park management, and more general research on issues that range from climate change to ecological restoration, and even on new products such as medicines or industrial materials, and technologies. “our lands are the least impacted in u.s.,” says kirsten gallo, chief of the park national inventory and monitoring division, the agency that oversees park research. there is a lot of research seeking to understand the “reference” conditions in national parks, she says, which serves as a baseline indicating the original natural variability of ecosystems and providing a guide for ecological restoration elsewhere. the parks are playing a key role in research to determine how climate change will impact protected ecosystems. these days, climate change, which president obama has called the greatest threat to the parks, is one of the park most important science missions. the parks currently are playing a key role both in global climate research and in efforts to determine how climate change will impact protected ecosystems from the glaciers of glacier national park in montana, to the giant forests of sequoia national park in california, to the east coast beaches of island national seashore and in finding possible ways to adapt. patrick gonzalez, principal climate change scientist for the national park service, says the intact natural landscapes of parks provides climate researchers with a picture of how natural ecosystems, free from most kinds of human influence, are responding to warming. one important study, part of the united nations intergovernmental panel on climate research, focuses on biome shifts, which are major vegetation formations that are on the move north, south, or up slope to stay within their preferred temperature range. they are key indicators of a warming planet. “research in yosemite has documented a shift of forest into meadows,” gonzalez said. “research in alaska has found a northward shift of forest onto tundra. both have been attributed to human climate change and not other factors because they have happened in national parks that have not been affected by grazing, logging, and other local human disturbances.” a century ago, when the national park service was established, university of california at berkeley biologist joseph grinnell advocated study of the parks to better manage them. without scientific investigation of the animal life in the parks, “no thorough understanding of the conditions of the practical problems they involve is possible,” he and biologist tracy storer wrote in the journal science in 1916. grinnell and storer also predicted that development across the country would someday render the parks “the only areas remaining unspoiled for scientific study.” yellowstone, the first national park, has one of the most robust scientific programs of any national park, largely because of its size, intactness, and unusual natural features. the research mission there is shared by a staff of scientists from the u.s. geological survey (usgs), which does much of the research in national parks, and outside researchers from universities and other institutions. scientists capture moving images of algae living in the thermal waters of yellowstone national park in 1923. national park service yellowstone was important to researchers even before it was a park. one of the first major scientific expeditions was by geologist ferdinand hayden in 1871, a year before yellowstone national park was created by president ulysses s. grant. a key area of focus for research in yellowstone is the hunt for the unusual microbial life microbes called that inhabits the extreme conditions of the hot springs. the major discovery in these steaming waters in the was a species of bacteria called aquaticus, or. an enzyme later isolated in revolutionized dna fingerprinting by allowing inexpensive and rapid amplification of dna. yellowstone has about two-thirds of the geothermal features, and few are as pristine as those found in the park. “it’s important that protected because you have people swimming in it that has value to science,” said brent peyton, director of the thermal biology institute at montana state university. one of the most unique wildlife research projects ever conducted has been the return of wolves to the landscape in yellowstone. once regarded as a menace, wolves were hunted to in the northern rockies in the mid century, but were reintroduced by federal biologists in 1994. since then, careful study of the wolf packs (now numbering 12) on wild landscape has given researchers a deep look at what happens to an ecosystem when an apex predator returns. it has also provided a rare look at what takes place in packs as they and evolve on a landscape where human influence, especially hunting, is virtually absent. a hunted wolf, says national park service wolf biologist doug smith, is a very different animal than a protected yellowstone wolf. shooting wolves is “scrambling your omelet constantly,” he said. “by killing wolves you are rearranging packs and their social structure on a routine basis.” that is no small matter. outside the park, some 90 percent of wolves are shot and trapped. among the lessons learned on the protected landscape of yellowstone, is that wolf packs can persist for twenty years or more in the wild, that older males are essential to packs for their wise ways, especially in battles against other packs, and that for some reason, wolves with black coats have a stronger immune system than those with gray coats. other researchers in yellowstone have documented the cascade the major downstream impact of wolves on elk populations and behavior and how that has altered everything from aspen and willow growth to the numbers of beaver. the 1963 leopold report found wilderness parks were best managed as a “vignette of primitive america.” yellowstone has also given us much of the recent science of fire behavior on large wild landscapes. after the historic blazes of 1988 swept through yellowstone and burned nearly acres (more than a third of the park), and the ashes cooled, scientists began to decipher what had occurred. dozens of experiments were undertaken to study everything from the explosion of biodiversity after a fire to how quickly forests recover. and because this work was done in what is arguably the most iconic of u.s. parks, the results have been thoroughly covered by the media and exposed to a vast audience than usually hears little about fire science. the fundamental wildfire lesson was that, as yellowstone superintendent bob barbee put it to me at the time, “nature does not destroy herself.” fires in western ecosystems are as essential as rain and sun for healthy forests and are how the landscape is renewed. yellowstone is also where nature broke out of its box. in the early, secretary of interior stewart udall charged a committee to come up with a plan to better manage the large wild national parks. it resulted in the 1963 leopold report named after starker leopold, the biologist son of famed naturalist aldo which concluded that the wilderness parks were best managed ecologically as a “vignette of primitive america.” it was the beginning of what is now called “natural regulation.” that means that understanding ecological principles and allowing them to operate should guide the management of parks. after two attacks on campers in glacier in 1967, for example, both yellowstone and glacier ended the feeding of bears in garbage dumps and elsewhere, enabling the animals to become to the wild. biologists, based on research in those parks, have since established procedures for keeping bears wild and away from people, for the sake of both species. a model that has been adopted all over the world. but the greatest ecological lesson of yellowstone science is that the park, as big as it is at million acres the size of rhode island and delaware combined is not nearly large enough to sustain many of the species that live there, from elk to grizzly bears to antelope and a wide spectrum of migratory birds. the park itself is just the core of the apple. important, scientists now realize, is not just acres of ground, but natural systems. the grizzlies, for example, need the summer swarms of ladybugs and the fall crop of white bark pine nuts high in the park, as well as the succulents that grow along rivers well outside the park in the spring. the high profile of parks and the role they play in educating the public about key scientific issues is not to be underestimated, experts say. a volunteer collects wetland plants for study in rocky mountain national park. national park service “we’ve had an impact on view of climate change with these photographs of melting glaciers,” the’s told me. “it really resonates more with people because of the emotional content of name.” citizen science, the involvement of volunteers in collecting data, is also a growing part of the national park efforts. in one nationwide project, hundreds of school kids captured larvae in 40 national parks to test them for mercury and see if the levels posed a risk to humans. because parks are relatively pristine, they provide a strong signal of how much and how far airborne mercury has spread around the country. much of the park scientific mission is, unfortunately, chronicling the demise of some of the treasures the parks were set aside to protect. particularly true around yellowstone, where because of increasing development, visitation, and recreation the ecosystem continues to be fragmented. and then there are the impacts of climate change. forests throughout the national park system are dying, from the pine of yellowstone, to the pines of great basin in nevada, to the joshua trees of joshua tree in california. scientists working in parks are conducting “future vulnerability assessments” on how changes will impact wildlife from desert bighorns to salamanders as well as forests, wildfire behavior and other natural phenomena. these assessments are expected to lead to adaptive measures. “we might start the sequoias,” said nathan stephenson, a ecologist at sequoia national park who is in charge of charting a future for the massive trees. “or we might build a giant fuel break around the great sequoias so if a fire came toward the grove we could defend it.” the national park service hopes to pioneer these measures, which can then be used elsewhere. the parks are widely seen as among the most important biological in the u.s. not only for the species that live there, but for species that might someday have no other place to go. americans, for example, a relative of the rabbit that lives in boulder fields high in the mountains, are disappearing in some of their in and out of the parks. among the possible refuges being studied are the higher and colder peaks of mountains in olympic, rocky mountain, and mount rainer national parks. scientists are also looking at how protected migration corridors can be created between parks and other federal land as species move in response to warming. there are no plans, though, to protect the dwindling glaciers of glacier, by covering them with blankets say, as has been done in europe. “it’s too expensive,” says. instead, he and others he will simply monitor and measure the glaciers as they most certainly vanish over the next few decades. “they are probably already doomed,” he said.	seɪnt ˈmɛri leɪk ɪn ˈgleɪʃər ˈnæʃənəl pɑrk, mɑnˈtænə. deɪv

a developer planning a project in sugar land will remove the 900 apartments from its plan after opposition from residents concerned that renters would increase traffic, crowd schools and diminish their suburban lifestyle. the city of sugar land announced wednesday that newland communities has decided drop the apartments from its planned project at university and u.s. 59 in the telfair community. newland is the telfair developer. mayor james thompson said in a letter that he met with representatives from the development company to convey community concerns. the residents say apartments and renter culture symbolized a clash with the neighborhoods surrounding the vacant tract that has always been designated as a commercial property. the project sparked a petition drive to amend the new development code passed by city officials this summer. ted nelson, president of the central region for newland communities, said in a letter to the city that telfair will not include the multifamily units in its proposal, now under consideration by city staff, despite the fact that they "believe that multifamily housing is a key element of a development and further provides an opportunity for young people and elderly citizens an opportunity to live in sugar land." the letter continued, "we have clearly heard the concerns expressed by the citizens of sugar land and wish to abide by these concerns." diana miller, the sugar land resident leading the petition drive targeting the telfair and similar projects, said she is skeptical the discussion between the city and the developer will guarantee that no apartments are ever built on the property. "a letter is not binding, and it is not unusual for a developer to sell tracts" within a planned development, miller said. "another entity could just move forward under the development code," she added. newland had proposed developing the property, one of the last undeveloped parcels in the city, into a combination of office, retail and hotel and apartment buildings. opponents want their town to remain predominantly homes. their petition drive specifically targets new rules that establish separate zoning rules for "urban" and "suburban" developments. "our concern is other potential similar developments coming forward under the new code, not just this one project," miller said. miller said her group has collected more than enough signatures to force action.	ə dɪˈvɛləpər ˈplænɪŋ ə ˈprɑʤɛkt ɪn ˈʃʊgər lænd wɪl riˈmuv ðə 900 əˈpɑrtmənts frəm ɪts plæn ˈæftər ˌɑpəˈzɪʃən frəm ˈrɛzɪdənts kənˈsərnd ðət ˈrɛntərz wʊd ˌɪnˈkris ˈtræfɪk, kraʊd skulz ənd dɪˈmɪnɪʃ ðɛr səˈbərbən ˈlaɪfˌstaɪl. ðə ˈsɪti əv ˈʃʊgər lænd əˈnaʊnst ˈwɛnzˌdeɪ ðət ˈnulənd kəmˈjunɪtiz həz ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd drɔp ðə əˈpɑrtmənts frəm ɪts plænd ˈprɑʤɛkt æt ˌjunəˈvərsəti ənd juz. 59 ɪn ðə ˈtɛlˌfɛr kəmˈjunɪti. ˈnulənd ɪz ðə ˈtɛlˌfɛr dɪˈvɛləpər. meɪər ʤeɪmz ˈtɑmsən sɛd ɪn ə ˈlɛtər ðət hi mɛt wɪθ ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnətɪvz frəm ðə dɪˈvɛləpmənt ˈkəmpəˌni tɪ kənˈveɪ kəmˈjunɪti kənˈsərnz. ðə ˈrɛzɪdənts seɪ əˈpɑrtmənts ənd ˈrɛntər ˈkəlʧər ˈsɪmbəˌlaɪzd ə klæʃ wɪθ ðə ˈneɪbərˌhʊdz sərˈaʊndɪŋ ðə ˈveɪkənt trækt ðət həz ˈɔlˌweɪz bɪn ˈdɛzɪgˌneɪtɪd ɛz ə kəˈmərʃəl ˈprɑpərti. ðə ˈprɑʤɛkt spɑrkt ə pəˈtɪʃən draɪv tɪ əˈmɛnd ðə nu dɪˈvɛləpmənt koʊd pæst baɪ ˈsɪti əˈfɪʃəlz ðɪs ˈsəmər. tɛd ˈnɛlsən, ˈprɛzɪdənt əv ðə ˈsɛntrəl ˈriʤən fər ˈnulənd kəmˈjunɪtiz, sɛd ɪn ə ˈlɛtər tɪ ðə ˈsɪti ðət ˈtɛlˌfɛr wɪl nɑt ˌɪnˈklud ðə ˌməltiˈfæmli ˈjunɪts ɪn ɪts prəˈpoʊzəl, naʊ ˈəndər kənˌsɪdərˈeɪʃən baɪ ˈsɪti stæf, dɪˈspaɪt ðə fækt ðət ðeɪ "bɪˈliv ðət ˌməltiˈfæmli ˈhaʊzɪŋ ɪz ə ki ˈɛləmənt əv ə dɪˈvɛləpmənt ənd ˈfərðər prəˈvaɪdz ən ˌɑpərˈtunəti fər jəŋ ˈpipəl ənd ˈɛldərli ˈsɪtɪzənz ən ˌɑpərˈtunəti tɪ lɪv ɪn ˈʃʊgər lænd." ðə ˈlɛtər kənˈtɪnjud, "wi hæv ˈklɪrli hərd ðə kənˈsərnz ɪkˈsprɛst baɪ ðə ˈsɪtɪzənz əv ˈʃʊgər lænd ənd wɪʃ tɪ əˈbaɪd baɪ ðiz kənˈsərnz." daɪˈænə ˈmɪlər, ðə ˈʃʊgər lænd ˈrɛzɪdənt ˈlidɪŋ ðə pəˈtɪʃən draɪv ˈtɑrgətɪŋ ðə ˈtɛlˌfɛr ənd ˈsɪmələr ˈprɑʤɛkts, sɛd ʃi ɪz ˈskɛptɪkəl ðə dɪˈskəʃən bɪtˈwin ðə ˈsɪti ənd ðə dɪˈvɛləpər wɪl ˌgɛrənˈti ðət noʊ əˈpɑrtmənts ər ˈɛvər bɪlt ɔn ðə ˈprɑpərti.

maintaining your privacy online, like investing in stocks or looking good naked, has become one of those nagging desires that leaves americans with a surplus of stress and a deficit of facts. so it's no surprise that a cottage industry of privacy marketers now wants to sell them the solution in a $50 piece of hardware promising internet “anonymity” or “invisibility." and as with any panacea in a box, the quicker the fix, the more doubt it deserves. last week saw the fast forward rise and fall of, a tiny $45 router that promised to all of a traffic by routing it over the anonymity network tor. that promise of privacy spurred to raise $615,000 on the fundraising platform in four days, 82 times its modest $7,500 goal. then on thursday, froze those pledges, citing the misleading claims about its hardware sources. other critics pointed to flaws in's security, too. but the fiasco deterred other projects hoping to sell an anonymity router of their own. in fact, many of them see’s disappointed backers as proof of the demand for their own product. at least five new or projects now claim to offer a anonymity router with names like, cloak, torfi, and portal, each with its own caveats. security claims and snake oil some of those projects are already repeating's mistakes, or making significant new ones. a project called torfi, which offered a version of tor installed on an wi-fi router, has already had its campaign yanked, seemingly under the same prohibition that killed (selling someone else's product). another router initiative called project sierra doesn't use anonymity system that routes traffic through three random hops among thousands of computers; instead, its creator kerry cox says it pushes data through servers rented from a texas hosting company, an option that likely means faster connections but not much real anonymity. anything you do can be seen by that texas company or any third party that can get access to its data, including law enforcement. a third option called has filled its page with brash claims of a "military grade" drive that offers (without using tor) and a "private simple your grandmother can use it." it doesn't offer details about how any of those features actually work. surprised these guys telling you also help you lose weight and is powered by antioxidants," says steve lord, a british penetration tester and one of the critics who poked holes in's security claims. a humbler project called, which launched last week on indiegogo, is more straightforward about its protections and imperfections. uses the same hardware as, and similarly integrates tor with the open source wireless software. it promises, however, to fix its predecessor's configuration was criticized for shipping with no password protection for its wi-fi network by default, and root and passwords that could let a hacker compromise the device. but still uses stock hardware that its creators admit may have vulnerabilities it can't control, and the project has yet to release its software for outside scrutiny. more promising, perhaps, are projects like cloak and portal. cloak is a $56, open-source tor router set to launch with a campaign early next week. creators, a group of developers spread across britain, malaysia, and china, are developing their device's hardware from scratch. one member of the team, a founder of the shenzhen, hardware maker dragino, is leading the creation of board and injection molded case, which yet finished. and open-source code has already been published for public appraisal. "this is the right attitude," says lord. doing it the way that should have done it." portal, by contrast, focuses more on software than hardware: the project, whose name is an acronym for "personal onion router to assure liberty" uses a "hardened" version of combined with tor that's designed to be installed on any stock router. marc rogers, a security consultant and one of creators, says they've carefully pruned features out of to minimize attack points for any hacker trying to compromise the router. and unlike other projects, he says developers have taken pains to integrate tor so that it's guaranteed to "fail if the router somehow can't connect to tor, no data will ever be sent over the unprotected internet. "if tor working, a brick," rogers says. big challenges ahead but even the most reputable of these tor router projects like portal and cloak face serious challenges. because the official tor project doesn't support, they'll be responsible for their own updates. if a vulnerability is found in too uncommon an will have to be patched by the cloak or portal teams themselves, and then users will have to be warned to install the update or be left vulnerable. when the tor project was working on creating its own tor router in 2012, that necessity of separate security updates for was one of the stumbling blocks that kept the router from coming to fruition, says sandvik, a former tor developer. "getting a new version of tor on out to people was a bit of a process, and not one that the tor project itself could easily own and control at that point," she says. have to take it on yourself to keep it updated to keep your users safe." more fundamentally, routing all the data that goes through your home router over the tor network may not even be such a smart idea. as soon as a users log into just one of their online accounts over that connection, they've likely identified themselves, and their traffic can be correlated with any other browsing that they had hoped to keep anonymous. to prevent browser fingerprinting techniques like cookies, careful users will still need to use the tor browser, with its "transparent torification" setting on to avoid routing their traffic through tor twice and slowing it to a crawl. and even involuntary data leakage like the location data uploaded by desktop searches in apple's yosemite could be enough to pierce the veil. andrew lewman, executive director of the tor project, says he's supportive of the idea of building a tor hardware router, but cautions that simply funneling all your traffic through tor isn't a simple privacy cure. "we don't do any analysis or cleaning of your data in transit over tor; nor do we want to do so," lewman writes. "plugging in an operating system that wants to share all your data behind a tor router will just share all of your data over all the data that could accidentally finger you as its source. better yet... in many cases, users would be better off their online activities into sensitive communications that need to be torified, and the normal browsing that could actually pollute their untraceable traffic. that means carefully plugging into and out of a tor router depending on the situation; or privacy activist and developer micah lee suggests keeping one computer connected into a tor router and using that machine only for anonymous activities. "just using a tor router necessarily make you lot of what you do on the internet is intrinsically not anonymous." lee says. "these projects are really good, but you need to be cautious. don't think you're anonymous when you're not." as with all privacy technology, no single tool provides complete security or anonymity. instead, fully protecting yourself requires a change in behavior to consider the privacy consequences of every action hackers and spies call "operational security" or "opsec." and that can't be bought in a box. not much point in having an tool," says rogers, "if you have an frame of mind."	meɪnˈteɪnɪŋ jʊr ˈpraɪvəsi ˈɔnˌlaɪn, laɪk ˌɪnˈvɛstɪŋ ɪn stɑks ər ˈlʊkɪŋ gʊd ˈneɪkəd, həz bɪˈkəm wən əv ðoʊz ˈnægɪŋ dɪˈzaɪərz ðət livz əˈmɛrɪkənz wɪθ ə ˈsərpləs əv strɛs ənd ə ˈdɛfəsət əv fækts. soʊ ɪts noʊ səˈpraɪz ðət ə ˈkɑtɪʤ ˈɪndəstri əv ˈpraɪvəsi ˌmɑrkətərz naʊ wɔnts tɪ sɛl ðɛm ðə səˈluʃən ɪn ə 50 pis əv ˈhɑrdˌwɛr ˈprɑməsɪŋ ˈɪntərˌnɛt ““anonymity”” ər ““invisibility." ənd ɛz wɪθ ˈɛni ˌpænəˈsiə ɪn ə bɑks, ðə kˈwɪkər ðə fɪks, ðə mɔr daʊt ɪt dɪˈzərvz. læst wik sɔ ðə fæst ˈfɔrwərd raɪz ənd fɔl əv, ə ˈtaɪni 45 ˈrutər ðət ˈprɑməst tɪ ɔl əv ə ˈtræfɪk baɪ ˈrutɪŋ ɪt ˈoʊvər ðə ˌænəˈnɪmɪti ˈnɛtˌwərk tɔr. ðət ˈprɑməs əv ˈpraɪvəsi spərd tɪ reɪz ɔn ðə ˈfənˌdreɪsɪŋ ˈplætˌfɔrm ɪn fɔr deɪz, 82 taɪmz ɪts ˈmɑdəst goʊl. ðɛn ɔn ˈθərzˌdeɪ, froʊz ðoʊz ˈplɛʤɪz, ˈsaɪtɪŋ ðə mɪsˈlidɪŋ kleɪmz əˈbaʊt ɪts ˈhɑrdˌwɛr ˈsɔrsəz. ˈəðər ˈkrɪtɪks ˈpɔɪntɪd tɪ flɔz ɪn sɪˈkjʊrəti, tu. bət ðə fiˈæskoʊ dɪˈtərd ˈəðər ˈprɑʤɛkts ˈhoʊpɪŋ tɪ sɛl ən ˌænəˈnɪmɪti ˈrutər əv ðɛr oʊn. ɪn fækt, ˈmɛni əv ðɛm si ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnɪd ˈbækərz ɛz pruf əv ðə dɪˈmænd fər ðɛr oʊn ˈprɑdəkt. æt list faɪv nu ər ˈprɑʤɛkts naʊ kleɪm tɪ ˈɔfər ə ˌænəˈnɪmɪti ˈrutər wɪθ neɪmz laɪk, kloʊk, torfi, ənd ˈpɔrtəl, iʧ wɪθ ɪts oʊn ˈkeɪviˌæts. sɪˈkjʊrəti kleɪmz ənd sneɪk ɔɪl səm əv ðoʊz ˈprɑʤɛkts ər ɔˈrɛdi rɪˈpitɪŋ mɪˈsteɪks, ər ˈmeɪkɪŋ sɪgˈnɪfɪkənt nu wənz. ə ˈprɑʤɛkt kɔld torfi, wɪʧ ˈɔfərd ə ˈvərʒən əv tɔr ˌɪnˈstɔld ɔn ən ˈwaɪˌfaɪ ˈrutər, həz ɔˈrɛdi hæd ɪts kæmˈpeɪn jæŋkt, ˈsimɪŋli ˈəndər ðə seɪm ˌproʊəˈbɪʃən ðət kɪld (ˈsɛlɪŋ ˈsəmˌwən ˈɛlsɪz ˈprɑdəkt). əˈnəðər ˈrutər ˌɪˈnɪʃətɪv kɔld ˈprɑʤɛkt siˈɛrə ˈdəzənt juz ˌænəˈnɪmɪti ˈsɪstəm ðət rʊts ˈtræfɪk θru θri ˈrændəm hɑps əˈməŋ ˈθaʊzənz əv kəmˈpjutərz; ˌɪnˈstɛd, ɪts kriˈeɪtər ˈkɛri kɑks sɪz ɪt ˈpʊʃɪz ˈdætə θru ˈsərvərz ˈrɛntɪd frəm ə ˈtɛksəs ˈhoʊstɪŋ ˈkəmpəˌni, ən ˈɔpʃən ðət ˈlaɪkli minz ˈfæstər kəˈnɛkʃənz bət nɑt məʧ ril ˌænəˈnɪmɪti. ˈɛniˌθɪŋ ju du kən bi sin baɪ ðət ˈtɛksəs ˈkəmpəˌni ər ˈɛni θərd ˈpɑrti ðət kən gɪt ˈækˌsɛs tɪ ɪts ˈdætə, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ lɔ ɛnˈfɔrsmənt. ə θərd ˈɔpʃən kɔld həz fɪld ɪts peɪʤ wɪθ bræʃ kleɪmz əv ə "ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri greɪd" draɪv ðət ˈɔfərz (wɪˈθaʊt ˈjuzɪŋ tɔr) ənd ə "ˈpraɪvət ˈsɪmpəl jʊr ˈgrændˌməðər kən juz ɪt." ɪt ˈdəzənt ˈɔfər ˈditeɪlz əˈbaʊt haʊ ˈɛni əv ðoʊz ˈfiʧərz ˈæˌkʧuəli wərk. səˈpraɪzd ðiz gaɪz ˈtɛlɪŋ ju ˈɔlsoʊ hɛlp ju luz weɪt ənd ɪz paʊərd baɪ ˌæntiˈɑksədənts," sɪz stiv lɔrd, ə ˈbrɪtɪʃ ˌpɛnəˈtreɪʃən ˈtɛstər ənd wən əv ðə ˈkrɪtɪks hu poʊkt hoʊlz ɪn sɪˈkjʊrəti kleɪmz. ə ˈhəmbələr ˈprɑʤɛkt kɔld, wɪʧ lɔnʧt læst wik ɔn indiegogo, ɪz mɔr ˈstreɪtˈfɔrwərd əˈbaʊt ɪts prəˈtɛkʃənz ənd ˌɪmpərˈfɛkʃənz. ˈjuzɪz ðə seɪm ˈhɑrdˌwɛr ɛz, ənd ˈsɪmələrli ˈɪnəˌgreɪts tɔr wɪθ ðə ˈoʊpən sɔrs ˈwaɪrlɪs ˈsɔfˌwɛr. ɪt ˈprɑməsəz, ˌhaʊˈɛvər, tɪ fɪks ɪts ˈprɛdəˌsɛsərz kənˌfɪgjərˈeɪʃən wɑz ˈkrɪtəˌsaɪzd fər ˈʃɪpɪŋ wɪθ noʊ ˈpæsˌwərd prəˈtɛkʃən fər ɪts ˈwaɪˌfaɪ ˈnɛtˌwərk baɪ dɪˈfɔlt, ənd rut ənd ˈpæsˌwərdz ðət kʊd lɛt ə ˈhækər ˈkɑmprəˌmaɪz ðə dɪˈvaɪs. bət stɪl ˈjuzɪz stɑk ˈhɑrdˌwɛr ðət ɪts kriˈeɪtərz ədˈmɪt meɪ hæv ˌvəlnərəˈbɪlɪtiz ɪt kænt kənˈtroʊl, ənd ðə ˈprɑʤɛkt həz jɛt tɪ riˈlis ɪts ˈsɔfˌwɛr fər ˈaʊtˈsaɪd ˈskrutəni. mɔr ˈprɑməsɪŋ, pərˈhæps, ər ˈprɑʤɛkts laɪk kloʊk ənd ˈpɔrtəl. kloʊk ɪz ə 56 ˈoʊpənˌsɔrs tɔr ˈrutər sɛt tɪ lɔnʧ wɪθ ə kæmˈpeɪn ˈərli nɛkst wik. kriˈeɪtərz, ə grup əv dɪˈvɛləpərz sprɛd əˈkrɔs ˈbrɪtən, məˈleɪʒə, ənd ˈʧaɪnə, ər dɪˈvɛləpɪŋ ðɛr dɪˈvaɪsɪz ˈhɑrdˌwɛr frəm skræʧ. wən ˈmɛmbər əv ðə tim, ə ˈfaʊndər əv ðə ˈʃɛnˌʒɛn, ˈhɑrdˌwɛr ˈmeɪkər dragino, ɪz ˈlidɪŋ ðə kriˈeɪʃən əv bɔrd ənd ˌɪnˈʤɛkʃən ˈmoʊldɪd keɪs, wɪʧ jɛt ˈfɪnɪʃt. ənd ˈoʊpənˌsɔrs koʊd həz ɔˈrɛdi bɪn ˈpəblɪʃt fər ˈpəblɪk əˈpreɪzəl.

elouise bell has died, and i know that she would want people to giggle at some of her humor right now. signature books has made her lovely essay collection only when i laugh available online. this is a collection i assign to my creative writing students, who are to read an essay a day during the essay unit. essays are pithy and funny, and most of the students stop reading once started. elouise was my first creative writing teacher, and was thrilled if premature as she congratulated bruce and me on our engagement. “may i wish you joy!” she boomed. the problem was, we engaged yet. bruce asked what she was wishing him joy for, and she declared that it all appeared obvious. we were going to get engaged, right? she was full of humor, bold feminism, strength, courage. fortunately, she left us with some of her writing. my favorite story of hers for years has been “the meeting”, which was first anonymously published. what a lovely satire it is! i mentioned it to her once without keeping her authorship quiet and she said, “shhh! supposed to know that!” so, from elouise to you. enjoy. and get the book. four the meeting by elouise bell [p.11]scene: inside a large, conventional meeting house. there is the usual hubbub. women are busily conferring with one another over agenda and announcements; at the door, two women are shaking hands with members of the congregation as they enter, trying diligently to call each entrant by her name. the men are hurriedly urging children into pews, settling quarrels and trying to arrange seating so that the least mayhem will ensue. some of the men do a better job than others at juggling their paraphernalia: in addition to diaper bags and bottles of apple juice or milk, most have “quiet books,” small toys, and some have rather large and cumbersome primary materials to hang onto and keep track of. three or four younger men are absorbed in small bundles wrapped in fancy crocheted afghans; their infants are all dressed in special finery for the occasion, and the seats immediately around them are filled with smiling, grandfathers, uncles, brothers; and over the heads of the crowds, we can see visiting teachers nodding their assurance that they will be ready when the moment presents itself. [p.12]presently, a confident, woman in her late forties takes her seat on the stand. she is almost immediately flanked by two others: a slender, woman of about thirty who keeps whispering last-minute information to the woman in the center; and a woman of perhaps sixty who appears totally unflappable, as if, having engineered reconstruction after the flood and supervised logistics during the exodus, she is scarcely about to be intimidated by anything the present moment might demand of her. behind them, on the second row, sit four men of varying ages, each in black trousers, white shirt, and black tie. the youngest of the three women, whose name is abbot, steps to the pulpit. she smiles silently at the buzzing congregation for a few moments, and as the crowd quiets, we hear a tiny voice call out boldly, “that’s mommy!” abbot smiles benignly at the child, while the father, seated in the second pew, blushes, puts a hand gently over the mouth, and shakes his head hopelessly at his neighbor. abbot: sisters and brothers, time to begin. we welcome you all here, members and visitors and friends, and hope your time with us will be pleasant. now afraid we have a large number of announcements today, but they are all important, so we ask for your attention. to begin with, brother hales of the elders group has asked me to tell you that our lovely brethren are collecting empty one quart oil cans, to be used by the group in making special christmas projects. they are going to construct christmas tree stands, candle molds and toys from these used oil cans, told. elder hales has placed a large carton outside the south entrance and would appreciate it if all deposit your empty oil cans there, and in so doing contribute to this worthwhile project. next, we want to remind you of the education week program early next month. four of our members will be participating, and sure all want to attend and take advantage of this special opportunity. sister lorraine larson will be giving a lecture on “eschatology and ether in the perspective of the book of revelation.” sister ellen hemming is speaking on “the scrolls and our concept of spirit translation.” brother davis will have a workshop titled “twenty tips for keeping a tidy garage,” and brother terry joe jones will repeat last popular series on “being a more masculine you.” [p.13]brother allen informs me that the quorum is having a special fireside this next sunday evening with two important guest speakers. sister amanda ridgely knight will discuss “the role of man: where does he fit in the eternal plan?” and sister alice young taylor will lecture on “three important men from church history.” next weekend is a big one for the younger teens in our congregation: the beehive class is going to kayak down the green river, under the direction of sister lynn harrison. and as i understand it, the deacons will be here at home, helping to fold and stamp the ward newsletter. in the young meeting tonight, the boys will have something special to look forward panel of laurels from the stake will discuss “what we look for in boys we date.” your big chance boys! now finally clipped to your programs you see a i stress that that is all it is so a method of handling our financial commitments for this next year. this is of vital importance to every member. i stress that. we want every one of you to go home, gather your husbands and children around you, examine this proposal, and decide if you can give us your sustaining vote on it. (at this point, the third woman on the stand, whose name is chaplin, gets up and whispers briefly to the speaker.) abbot: sister chaplin reminds me that the basketball team will be practicing this week in preparation for the stake playoffs saturday. practice will be every afternoon this week from 4 until 6. coach tanner has asked that every player get there right at four, or a little before, if she can. young women, we want you to know how proud we are of you! in the same vein, the boys’ basketball team has also been doing nicely; if not mistaken, they are leading the region and also have a game sometime this next month. practice for the boys’ team will be over in the old stake house from 5 to a.m. this next week. any boy having a basketball is asked to bring it, since a little short on equipment for the boys’ team. well, i think all of the announcements. we will open the meeting by singing on page 102, after which brother donny dee williams will give the invocation. the steps to his stand and leads the congregation in the following song: [p.14]we are cooking, daily cooking food that strengthens, food that fills, casseroles that feed the starving, wheat from mills. wheat grown and ground and garnished, wheat and pure, wheat for woman, to sustain her, as she labors strong and sure. after the prayer, abbot returns to the pulpit. abbot: 1 am happy to report that our numbers are growing: we have had six babies born this last month alone! just mention each one, and you can congratulate the happy parents after service. sister jean hammond and her husband dale have a new little girl, to be named rachel hammond. sister and brother ellen taylor, a girl to be named ellen fielding taylor, jr. sister and brother margaret jones, a girl to be named elizabeth eleanor jones. as you know, this baby is sister and brother jones’ sixth, but the very first girl managed to have, and i just want to share with you what margaret said this past week. someone who know the family asked her how many children she had. “six,” she said, “and all girls but five!” now in case you think forgotten the opposite sex, sister and brother anne henderson are welcoming a little boy to their home; to be named henderson. gale and jimmy jenson also have a new boy, to be named tippy tom jenson; and meredith and billy joe gordon have a son whom they have named fortitude oak gordon. well, our congratulations to all the families and their new members. right now, time for a special number from our singing fathers. they will announce their own selection. (the four men dressed in black trousers come to the front of the stand, cluster together, place their arms on each shoulders, and set themselves for singing. at this point, one man whispers to another, who steps forward.) quartet member: we will sing “o my mother.” o my mother, thou that in the high and glorious place, [p.15]when shall i regain thy presence, and again behold thy face? in thy holy habitation, did my spirit once reside? in my first primeval childhood, was i nurtured near thy side? for a wise and glorious purpose thou has placed me here on earth, and withheld the recollection of my former friends and birth, yet a secret something whispered, ‘‘you’re a stranger here,” and i felt that i had wandered from a more exalted sphere. i had learned to call thee mother, through thy spirit from on high, but until the key of knowledge was restored, i knew not why. in the heavens are parents single? no, the thought makes reason stare. truth is reason. truth eternal tells me two parents there. when i leave this frail existence, when i lay this mortal by, mother, father, may i meet you in your royal courts on high? then, at length, when completed all you sent me forth to do, with your mutual approbation let me come and dwell with you. after the song, abbot returns to the pulpit. abbot: thank you very much, brothers, for that special number. now our speaker today, sisters and brothers, is a returned missionary from our congregation, sister eve wentworth. sister wentworth filled a highly successful mission to japan, was made a district supervisor after she had been out only twelve months, and in due time became second counselor to president of the nagoya japan mission. i happened to meet president and brother at conference last month, and she told me there a missionary in their mission who had been a finer example of dedication and leadership than sister wentworth. happy today to hear from sister eve f. wentworth. (in the interests of saving space and avoiding repetition, we here give, instead of sister complete speech, a copy of the ward notes thereon.) speaker: sister eve f. wentworth, recently returned missionary. summary of remarks: missionary central calling of house of israel. reason israel was chosen of god. greatest thing we can do to bless world in anguish. all worthy women to shoulder this responsibility. mission also the making of character. boys must help young women prepare for calling. must never tempt young women or cause them to fall. tight pants, dangers of. bare chests an abomination before lord. boys female nature, how easily ignited. must set example. not to be cause for some young to serve mission. use time when women are on missions to improve selves, prepare for marriage, prepare to be companion to returned missionary, conduit whereby spirits of women are sent to earth. can be learning skills—gardening, yard work, home repair, etc. young women to be serious about in scope. eternal consequences. work affects ages yet unborn, fate of nations. prepare well. study scriptures in depth; learn languages; social skills. avoid getting serious abt. boys prior to call. distractions. then recounted her own experiences from sick, rebuking spirits, receiving revelation abt. impending catastrophe, directing district missionaries out of danger. value of gentlemen missionaries. did much good, worked right along with sisters. need more of right kind of brother missionaries in field. closed with testimony of work. closing song: “come all ye daughters of god.” closing prayer: sister hannah ruth williams more reading like this: men and heavy lifting	ˈɛləˌwiz bɛl həz daɪd, ənd aɪ noʊ ðət ʃi wʊd wɔnt ˈpipəl tɪ ˈgɪgəl æt səm əv hər ˈhjumər raɪt naʊ. ˈsɪgnəʧər bʊks həz meɪd hər ˈləvli ˈɛˌseɪ kəˈlɛkʃən ˈoʊnli wɪn aɪ læf əˈveɪləbəl ˈɔnˌlaɪn. ðɪs ɪz ə kəˈlɛkʃən aɪ əˈsaɪn tɪ maɪ kriˈeɪtɪv ˈraɪtɪŋ ˈstudənts, hu ər tɪ rɛd ən ˈɛˌseɪ ə deɪ ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə ˈɛˌseɪ ˈjunɪt. ˈɛˌseɪz ər ˈpɪθi ənd ˈfəni, ənd moʊst əv ðə ˈstudənts stɑp ˈrɛdɪŋ wəns ˈstɑrtɪd. ˈɛləˌwiz wɑz maɪ fərst kriˈeɪtɪv ˈraɪtɪŋ ˈtiʧər, ənd wɑz θrɪld ɪf ˌpriməˈʧʊr ɛz ʃi kənˈgræʧəˌleɪtɪd brus ənd mi ɔn ɑr ɛnˈgeɪʤmənt. aɪ wɪʃ ju joy!”!” ʃi bumd. ðə ˈprɑbləm wɑz, wi ɪnˈgeɪʤd jɛt. brus æst wət ʃi wɑz ˈwɪʃɪŋ ɪm ʤɔɪ fər, ənd ʃi dɪˈklɛrd ðət ɪt ɔl əˈpɪrd ˈɑbviəs. wi wər goʊɪŋ tɪ gɪt ɪnˈgeɪʤd, raɪt? ʃi wɑz fʊl əv ˈhjumər, boʊld ˈfɛmɪˌnɪzəm, strɛŋθ, kərɪʤ. ˈfɔrʧənətli, ʃi lɛft ˈjuˈɛs wɪθ səm əv hər ˈraɪtɪŋ. maɪ ˈfeɪvərɪt ˈstɔri əv hərz fər jɪrz həz bɪn meeting””, wɪʧ wɑz fərst əˈnɑnəməsli ˈpəblɪʃt. wət ə ˈləvli ˈsæˌtaɪər ɪt ɪz! aɪ ˈmɛnʃənd ɪt tɪ hər wəns wɪˈθaʊt ˈkipɪŋ hər ˈɔθərˌʃɪp kwaɪət ənd ʃi sɛd, ““shhh! səˈpoʊzd tɪ noʊ that!”!” soʊ, frəm ˈɛləˌwiz tɪ ju. ˌɛnˈʤɔɪ. ənd gɪt ðə bʊk. fɔr ðə ˈmitɪŋ baɪ ˈɛləˌwiz bɛl [p.11]scene: ˌɪnˈsaɪd ə lɑrʤ, kənˈvɛnʃənəl ˈmitɪŋ haʊs. ðɛr ɪz ðə ˈjuʒəwəl ˈhəbəb. ˈwɪmən ər ˈbɪzəli kənˈfərɪŋ wɪθ wən əˈnəðər ˈoʊvər əˈʤɛndə ənd əˈnaʊnsmɛnts; æt ðə dɔr, tu ˈwɪmən ər ˈʃeɪkɪŋ hænz wɪθ ˈmɛmbərz əv ðə ˌkɑŋgrəˈgeɪʃən ɛz ðeɪ ˈɛnər, traɪɪŋ ˈdɪləʤəntli tɪ kɔl iʧ ˈɛntrənt baɪ hər neɪm. ðə mɛn ər ˈhəridli ˈərʤɪŋ ˈʧɪldrən ˈɪntu pjuz, ˈsɛtəlɪŋ kˈwɔrəlz ənd traɪɪŋ tɪ əreɪnʤ ˈsitɪŋ soʊ ðət ðə list ˈmeɪˌhɛm wɪl ɪnˈsu. səm əv ðə mɛn du ə ˈbɛtər ʤɑb ðən ˈəðərz æt ˈʤəgəlɪŋ ðɛr ˌpɛrəfəˈneɪljə: ɪn əˈdɪʃən tɪ ˈdaɪpər bægz ənd ˈbɑtəlz əv ˈæpəl ʤus ər mɪlk, moʊst hæv books,”,” smɔl tɔɪz, ənd səm hæv ˈrəðər lɑrʤ ənd ˈkəmbərsəm ˈpraɪˌmɛri məˈtɪriəlz tɪ hæŋ ˈɔntu ənd kip træk əv. θri ər fɔr ˈjəŋgər mɛn ər əbˈzɔrbd ɪn smɔl ˈbəndəlz ræpt ɪn ˈfænsi kroʊˈʃeɪd ˈæfˌgænz; ðɛr ˈɪnfənts ər ɔl drɛst ɪn ˈspɛʃəl ˈfaɪnəri fər ðə əˈkeɪʒən, ənd ðə sits ˌɪˈmiˌdiətli əraʊnd ðɛm ər fɪld wɪθ sˈmaɪlɪŋ, ˈgrænˌfɑðərz, ˈəŋkəlz, ˈbrəðərz; ənd ˈoʊvər ðə hɛdz əv ðə kraʊdz, wi kən si ˈvɪzɪtɪŋ ˈtiʧərz ˈnɑdɪŋ ðɛr əˈʃʊrəns ðət ðeɪ wɪl bi ˈrɛdi wɪn ðə ˈmoʊmənt ˈprɛzənts ˌɪtˈsɛlf.

we are hearing that aol is planning on laying off hundreds of employees next week. some of the cuts will come from the bloated patch division, but not all, from what we hear. the conjecture by our source is that aol may disappoint wall street this quarter, and the company wants to have a story around cost cutting already in place. we only have one source on this one, but it's a pretty good one. we've put out many more calls and will update the story when we know more. leaving aol has become fashionable of late. in addition to the turmoil, many executives have left in the last few months, including tim dierks, alex gounares, tim castelli, brad garlinghouse and hollars . apparently those departures have not been enough to bring costs into line.	wi ər ˈhirɪŋ ðət əˈmərɪkəˈɑnˌlaɪn ɪz ˈplænɪŋ ɔn leɪɪŋ ɔf ˈhənərdz əv ɪmˈplɔɪiz nɛkst wik. səm əv ðə kəts wɪl kəm frəm ðə ˈbloʊtɪd pæʧ dɪˈvɪʒən, bət nɑt ɔl, frəm wət wi hir. ðə kənˈʤɛkʧər baɪ ɑr sɔrs ɪz ðət əˈmərɪkəˈɑnˌlaɪn meɪ ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnt wɔl strit ðɪs kˈwɔrtər, ənd ðə ˈkəmpəˌni wɔnts tɪ hæv ə ˈstɔri əraʊnd kɔst ˈkətɪŋ ɔˈrɛdi ɪn pleɪs. wi ˈoʊnli hæv wən sɔrs ɔn ðɪs wən, bət ɪts ə ˈprɪti gʊd wən. wiv pʊt aʊt ˈmɛni mɔr kɔlz ənd wɪl ˈəpˌdeɪt ðə ˈstɔri wɪn wi noʊ mɔr. ˈlivɪŋ əˈmərɪkəˈɑnˌlaɪn həz bɪˈkəm ˈfæʃənəbəl əv leɪt. ɪn əˈdɪʃən tɪ ðə ˈtərˌmɔɪl, ˈmɛni ɪgˈzɛkjətɪvz hæv lɛft ɪn ðə læst fju mənθs, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ tɪm dirks, ˈæləks gounares*, tɪm kɑˈstɛli, bræd ˈgɑrlɪŋˌhaʊs ənd ˈhɑlərz əˈpɛrəntli ðoʊz dɪˈpɑrʧərz hæv nɑt bɪn ɪˈnəf tɪ brɪŋ kɔsts ˈɪntu laɪn.
heather cook, the former episcopal bishop who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the december 2014 killing of a cyclist in a drunken crash in north baltimore, is eligible for parole next month. cook, 60, who has been incarcerated at the maryland correctional institute in jessup, is scheduled to appear before the parole board on may 9, according to a spokesman for the maryland department of public safety and correctional services (dpscs). cook had been sentenced on october 27, 2015, to seven years in prison for the crash, which claimed the life of thomas palermo, a married father of two who had been out riding his bike two days after christmas. cook pleaded guilt to vehicular manslaughter, leaving the scene of a fatal accident, driving while under the influence and texting while driving. asked how the state calculated her eligibility for parole, less than two years into her prison term, media relations specialist gerard shields explained it this way: “she has a sentence, but because the crime is considered non-violent, she is eligible for parole after serving 25% of it,” shields said. “it does seem quick,” he agreed. drunk driving history the cook case roiled the church and outraged the bicycling community. the female bishop for the maryland diocese, cook had been selected as a candidate by a search committee whose members had known of 2010 drunk driving incident on the eastern shore, but failed to share it with others involved in the process of selecting her. in that earlier case, cook had been found by caroline county deputies driving on a shredded tire, with marijuana paraphernalia and liquor bottles in the car and vomit on her shirt. on a blown .27, more than three times the legal limit. she received probation before judgment. ___________________________________________ on december 28, 2014, baltimore brew broke this story revealing that the driver who fled after fatally plowing into a bicyclist was recently consecrated episcopal bishop heather cook. and we stayed with it through report, breaking the news of eligibility for parole. here is just some of our past coverage. ___________________________________________ in the fatal 2014 crash, .22 on a was nearly three times the legal limit. according to prosecutors, she had left her north baltimore home, drunk and texting, and struck the palermo as he rode his bike along roland avenue in the bike lane. cook left the crash scene and later passed it as she returned home. her lawyers said she wanted to drop off her dog before returning to the scene. arguing for a lesser sentence, attorneys had said she suffered from alcoholism and had no help for it. prosecutors, meanwhile, had pushed for a longer sentence of 10 years followed by probation. prosecutor kurt bjorklund, at sentencing, said behavior that day warranted no leniency. “she made sure her dog was okay, but she care about another human,” he said. parole board procedure asked whether the may 9 hearing will be open to the public or closed, shields said that is decided according to the wishes. he said he did not know if the family has expressed a preference. the brew was unable to reach

starting thursday, local time in turkey, internet users started reporting that facebook, youtube, and twitter had been blocked. internet users in turkey were forced to use a to access their social media accounts. the government has started to tighten access tos as well. unfortunately, was denied a financial license renewal by the turkish government and has withdrawn from turkey. is now the best way for turkish to buy goods and services securely. the incident, the second attempt by turkey to block access to facebook, youtube, and twitter this month, reminds us that handful of internet service providers (isps) work with the government to shut down access to parts of the internet whenever it is deemed necessary. the then throttle traffic to and from target websites until they are unusable. like many other oppressive regimes, the turkish government has direct control or influence over the actions of the internet service providers and telecommunication companies. turkey is regressing. for example, in jammu and kashmir in india, the internet is used on more websites than just facebook, youtube, and twitter. an internet watchdog group in turkey, turkey blocks, believes that a new law in turkey is being used which allows the military to bypass the ministry of communications to use the internet in times of national security emergencies. this internet is now being used with more frequency and with less provocation. government has not, and likely will not, make any official explanation for the block; the block subsided 7 hours after it started. twitter users from turkey use a to bypass internet censorship yes, both facebook and twitter seem to be blocked in turkey once more. anyone know why? tt @handekuday: our generation's gas lamp is. ankaralı jan (@06jank) august 25, 2016 social media websites twitter, facebook and youtube is down in #turkey. no explanation(s) made on it yet. kılıç (@aylinakilic) august 25, 2016 twitter and facebook are both blocked in turkey. always a good sign. ali (@aliarikan) august 25, 2016 this is a clear example of open internet censorship and ignoring its occurrence and allows it to become the new norm. turkey does this kind of internet censorship all the time. during the july 15 coup, the turkish government shutdown access to the same three websites. last week, an explosion in also led to facebook, youtube, and twitter being blocked. confirmed: twitter, facebook & youtube blocked by throttling in #turkey at after massive blast turkey blocks (@turkeyblocks) august 20, 2016 this episode of unwarranted internet censorship likely stems from a suicide bombing in cizre, turkey. eventually, internet will be broken an internet is always a bad idea. some pundits around the world argue in favor of a government controlled internet. the governments will always be able to find talking heads that will support their factually wrong view. just look at the commentary surrounding the “golden key” to breaking strong encryption. broken has so many meanings. meshnet technology is key to solving this problem. imagine a world where the “main net” or “mainnet” has a regularly backup that is served by volunteers running nodes on your local? the future is coming, and there is no room for internet censorship.	ˈstɑrtɪŋ ˈθərzˌdeɪ, ˈloʊkəl taɪm ɪn ˈtərki, ˈɪntərˌnɛt ˈjuzərz ˈstɑrtɪd rɪˈpɔrtɪŋ ðət ˈfeɪsˌbʊk, ˈjuˌtub, ənd tˈwɪtər hæd bɪn blɑkt. ˈɪntərˌnɛt ˈjuzərz ɪn ˈtərki wər fɔrst tɪ juz ə tɪ ˈækˌsɛs ðɛr ˈsoʊʃəl ˈmidiə əˈkaʊnts. ðə ˈgəvərnmənt həz ˈstɑrtɪd tɪ ˈtaɪtən ˈækˌsɛs tɪ ɛz wɛl. ənˈfɔrʧənətli, wɑz dɪˈnaɪd ə ˌfaɪˈnænʃəl ˈlaɪsəns rɪˈnuəl baɪ ðə ˈtərkɪʃ ˈgəvərnmənt ənd həz wɪθˈdrɔn frəm ˈtərki. ɪz naʊ ðə bɛst weɪ fər ˈtərkɪʃ tɪ baɪ gʊdz ənd ˈsərvɪsɪz sɪˈkjʊrli. ðə ˈɪnsədənt, ðə ˈsɛkənd əˈtɛmpt baɪ ˈtərki tɪ blɑk ˈækˌsɛs tɪ ˈfeɪsˌbʊk, ˈjuˌtub, ənd tˈwɪtər ðɪs mənθ, riˈmaɪndz ˈjuˈɛs ðət ˈhændˌfʊl əv ˈɪntərˌnɛt ˈsərvɪs prəˈvaɪdərz (isps) wərk wɪθ ðə ˈgəvərnmənt tɪ ʃət daʊn ˈækˌsɛs tɪ pɑrts əv ðə ˈɪntərˌnɛt wɛˈnɛvər ɪt ɪz dimd ˈnɛsəˌsɛri. ðə ðɛn θˈrɑtəl ˈtræfɪk tɪ ənd frəm ˈtərgət ˈwɛbˌsaɪts ənˈtɪl ðeɪ ər ənˈjuzəbəl. laɪk ˈmɛni ˈəðər əˈprɛsɪv rəˈʒimz, ðə ˈtərkɪʃ ˈgəvərnmənt həz dɪˈrɛkt kənˈtroʊl ər ˈɪnfluəns ˈoʊvər ðə ˈækʃənz əv ðə ˈɪntərˌnɛt ˈsərvɪs prəˈvaɪdərz ənd ˌtɛləkəmˌjunɪˈkeɪʃən ˈkəmpəˌniz. ˈtərki ɪz regressing. fər ɪgˈzæmpəl, ɪn ʤəˈmu ənd ˈkæʃmɪr ɪn ˈɪndiə, ðə ˈɪntərˌnɛt ɪz juzd ɔn mɔr ˈwɛbˌsaɪts ðən ʤɪst ˈfeɪsˌbʊk, ˈjuˌtub, ənd tˈwɪtər. ən ˈɪntərˌnɛt ˈwɑʧˌdɔg grup ɪn ˈtərki, ˈtərki blɑks, bɪˈlivz ðət ə nu lɔ ɪn ˈtərki ɪz biɪŋ juzd wɪʧ əˈlaʊz ðə ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri tɪ ˈbaɪˌpæs ðə ˈmɪnɪstri əv kəmˌjunəˈkeɪʃənz tɪ juz ðə ˈɪntərˌnɛt ɪn taɪmz əv ˈnæʃənəl sɪˈkjʊrəti ˈimərʤənsiz. ðɪs ˈɪntərˌnɛt ɪz naʊ biɪŋ juzd wɪθ mɔr ˈfrikwənsi ənd wɪθ lɛs ˌprɑvəˈkeɪʃən. ˈgəvərnmənt həz nɑt, ənd ˈlaɪkli wɪl nɑt, meɪk ˈɛni əˈfɪʃəl ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən fər ðə blɑk; ðə blɑk səbˈsaɪdɪd 7 aʊərz ˈæftər ɪt ˈstɑrtɪd. tˈwɪtər ˈjuzərz frəm ˈtərki juz ə tɪ ˈbaɪˌpæs ˈɪntərˌnɛt ˈsɛnsərˌʃɪp jɛs, boʊθ ˈfeɪsˌbʊk ənd tˈwɪtər sim tɪ bi blɑkt ɪn ˈtərki wəns mɔr. ˈɛniˌwən noʊ waɪ?
