''no one will play with us. ''we have no friends. we're the mafia.'' hey, l saw the yearbook pictures. was six of them. l didn't have six friends in high school. l don't got six friends now. shit, that's with a half court. what the hell is wrong with these kids? l got people telling me, ''come on, chris. come up to a school. talk to the kids.'' like, ''fuck the kids! ''do you got a vest? maybe think about it.'' everybody wants to know what the kids was listening to. what kind of music was they listening to? or what kind of movies was they watching? who gives a fuck what they was watching? whatever happened to crazy? what happened to crazy? what, you can't be crazy no more? did we eliminate ''crazy'' from the dictionary? fuck the records. fuck the movies. crazy! when l was a kid, they used to separate the crazy kids from everybody. when l was a kid, the crazy kids went to school in a bus. they had a class at the end of the school... and they used to get out of school at : . just in case they went crazy... they would only hurt other crazy kids. and we was all safe. we was all safe. damn, the world's coming to an end. you'll have little white kids saying: ''l want to go to a black school where it's safe.'' that's right, man. and everybody's talking about gun control, got to get rid of the guns. fuck that. l like guns. you got a gun, you don't have to work out. l ain't working out. l ain't jogging. you got pecs, l got tecs. fuck that shit. you don't need no gun control. you know what you need? we need some bullet control. man, we need to control the bullets, that's right. l think all bullets should cost $ . $ for a bullet. you know why?

''shit, they put $ worth of bullets in his ass.'' people would think before they killed somebody, if a bullet cost $ . ''man, l would blow your fucking head off, if l could afford it. gonna get me another job, gonna start saving some money... ''and you're a dead man. ''you better hope l can't get no bullets on layaway.'' so even if you get shot by a stray bullet... you won't have to go to no doctor to get it taken out. whoever shot you would take their bullet back. ''l believe you got my property.'' that's right, man. see, everybody blames the kids as fucking crazy. everybody wants to be mad at the kids for shooting up the school. what about the parents? the parents. the parents is really fucked up, man. their damn parents need to go to jail for some of this fucking shit, man. 'cause everybody knows that kid that went to jail. you go, ''man, he ain't never had a chance. you'd known his mama, you'd know he gonna be there.'' l was at the club the other night, down at life, chilling at the club. chilling with this girl. she was dancing. was about : a.m. talking to her, and realized she had two kids at home. l don't mind the two kids at home, that's all good. but like, ''what the fuck are you doing in a club...

''you go. kicking you the fuck out. yes, bye! ''go take care of them kids before they rob me in years.'' you got to get your kid on or your groove on. you can't get both on at the same time. tired of this shit. and a bunch of girls are like: ''you don't need no man to help you raise no child.'' shut the fuck up with the bullshit. yeah, you can do it without a man but that don't mean it's to be done. shit, you could drive a car with your feet if you want to. that don't make it a good fucking idea. l don't give a fuck. you could be the mama on earth. l don't give a fuck how good you are. ain't nothing you can say more powerful than, gonna tell your daddy.'' can't fuck with it. can't come close to, gonna tell your daddy.'' you can have a gun at the kid's head, blow your fucking head off.'' -''so what?'' tell your daddy.'' ''okay, okay.'' can't fuck with it, man. tired of bumping into these girls at the club... all late on a fucking weeknight. l got a little cousin who got left back in the first grade. left back in the first grade... 'cause his mama's out getting the groove on. you know how dumb you got to be... to get left back in the first grade? ''what's four plus four?'' ''jell-o.'' but that ain't his fault. that's the mama's fault. that's the mama's fucking fault. that's right. telling my cousin, ''tina, talk to your fucking kid. ''talk to him, teach him some shit. you said more words to him than, 'mommy be back'... ''he might know something.'' that's right. and it's real easy to tell who kids are gonna be fucked up. don't take no scientist to tell who's gonna have some fucked-up kids. the kid calls his ''mommy''... and his mama ''pam,'' he's going to jail. you ain't saving no college money, you saving bail money. that money's going to johnnie cochran. that's right. the kid can't read, that's mama's fault. that is mama's fucking fault. now, if the kid can't read 'cause there ain't no lights in the house... that's daddy's fault. you got this shit down? see, nobody gives a fuck about daddy. there's some real daddies out there. not talking about the guy that fucked you and left. fuck him, okay? talking about the real daddies. there's still some motherfuckers out there that handle their business. motherfuckers wanna act like brothers.... there's some brothers that handle their business. 'cause people don't give a fuck.... nobody gives a fuck about daddy. everybody takes daddy for granted. just listen to the radio. everything's ''mama. dear mama. always loved my mama.'' what's the daddy song? papa was a rollin' stone. nobody gives a fuck. nobody appreciates daddy. now, mama's got the roughest job. l ain't gonna front. but at least people appreciate mama. every time mama do something right, mama gets a compliment... 'cause women need to hear compliments all the time. women need food, water, and compliments. that's right. and an occasional pair of shoes. that's right. women got to hear it all the time, or they lose their minds. and get daddy to make sure you thank your mama for everything. ''tell your mama how good the food is. tell her how nice the house looks. ''tell your mama how nice her hair looks. ''did you tell your mama? you better go in there and tell your mama.'' that's right! ''tell your mama.'' nobody ever tells daddy shit. talking about the real daddies that handle their fucking business. nobody ever says, ''hey, daddy, thanks for knocking out this rent.'' ''hey, daddy, l sure love this hot water.'' ''hey, daddy, this is easy to read with all this light.'' nobody gives a fuck about daddy. talking about a daddy that handles his business. nobody gives a fuck about daddy. think about everything that the real daddy does: pay the bills, buy the food, put a fucking roof over your head. everything you could ever ask for. make your world a better, safer place. and what does daddy get for all his work? the big piece of chicken. that's all daddy gets... is the big piece of chicken. that's right. and some women don't want to give up the big piece of chicken. ''who the fuck is you... ''to keep the big piece of chicken? ''how dare you keep the big piece of chicken!'' a man can't work hours and come home to a wing. when l was a kid, my mama would lose her mind... if one of us ate the big piece of chicken by accident. ''what the fuck! you ate the big piece of chicken? ''oh, lord! no, no. ''now l got to take some chicken and sew it up and shit. ''get me two wings and a pork chop. never know the difference.'' just can't do it. can't do it. l don't know, man. the world's nuts.'s all good for clinton. any time something bad happens, it's good for bill clinton. just gets people off his ass. ''stop thinking about me. good. kids got shot. good. ''good. people are not thinking about me. ''tornadoes. good. ''people ain't thinking about me.'' clinton damn near got impeached, for what? for what? lied about a blowjob so his wife wouldn't find out. ls that against the law? do you need the supreme court for that one? you could have took that one to the people's court! could have took that one to judge judy. she'd have knocked it out in a half hour, plus commercials. what the fuck did clinton do? they was charging him with shit l didn't even know was crimes. ''you got her some gifts.'' so what he got her gifts? that's his friend. you can't buy your friend a gift? ''tried to get her a job.'' you can't get your friend a job? shit, % of the people in this room got their job... because a friend recommended them.'s against the law to get your friend a job? shit, she blew him for a couple of months. the least he could do is give her a recommendation!'s the least he could do. see, people... everybody expects this holy behavior 'cause he's the president. expect him to behave this holy way. he's just the president. he ain't rev. clinton. ain't pastor clinton. ain't clinton. is just bill clinton. he's just a man. a man's gonna be a man. a man is basically as faithful as his options. that's how faithful a man is, no more, no less. you see all these fat republican guys going: ''l would never do such a thing. this is a travesty.'' like, ''nobody's trying to blow you.'' ain't no girls trying to blow orrin hatch. ain't nobody trying to give newt gingrich some. l don't give a fuck, you ain't never gonna hear newt gingrich go: ''man, l wish these hoes would back up off me. ''l wish they would just back the fuck up off me.'' let a player play, shit! that's right.'s damn near impossible for a man to turn down sex.'s hard for a man to turn down sex. we can stop chasing it, and even that requires some rehab. but it's hard for a man to stop. it chase us, we can't run that fast.'s gonna catch us, we're like: ''shit, pulled a hamstring. you got me.'' you can't run that fast. see, it's easy for women to turn down sex. ain't shit for y'all to turn down sex. ain't no thing for y'all to turn down sex. y'all like, ''why can't you turn it down? l do it all the time. ''why can't you say no? l say no.'' see, it's easy for y'all. you know why? 'cause every woman in here, ever since you were ... every guy you met has been trying to fuck you. that's right. women are offered dick every day. every woman in here... gets offered dick at least three times a week. three times a day, shit! that's right, every time a man's being nice to you... all he's doing is offering dick. that's all it is. ''can l get that for you? how about some dick?'' ''could l help you with that? could l help you to some dick? ''do you need some dick?'' nobody offers us shit. we got to fend for ourselves. we can't believe it when we get an offer. we're like, ''damn, this is my lucky day.'' that's right, man. see, this whole monica lewinsky scandal, a lot of this shit is hillary's fault. that's right, l said it. l said it. had to be said. somebody got to say it. everybody's like, ''hillary's a hero.'' no, she ain't. a hero. he can talk to the fishes. what the fuck can hillary do? a lot of this shit is hillary's fault, 'cause, ladies, you know your man. you know your man better than he knows himself. you know what kind of man you got. you know if you got the crazy, man. so sometimes you gotta save your man from himself. so you know what happens if he don't get his medicine. so hillary clinton put us all in danger. she put the security of the free world in jeopardy... and she needs to suffer the consequences for her actions. that's right, she's the first lady. she's supposed to be the first one on her knees to suck his dick! shit! that's right. monica lewinsky shouldn't have even stood a chance. hillary's supposed to already be down there like, ''hey, l got it. got it. l got the dick. ''tickle his ass, or something. ''yeah, grab a ball, make yourself useful.'' and they always been on clinton. before any of this happened, they was on clinton. what was they on him for? gays in the military. everybody says, ''don't let them in.'' they wanna fight, let them fight, 'cause l ain't fighting. l wouldn't give a fuck if l saw a russian tank rolling down flatbush avenue. l ain't shooting nobody. so call me a faggot. when the war is over, be the faggot with two legs, thank you. you know what's fucked up? everybody gets so homophobic. people, we need to cut that shit out... 'cause everybody in this room got at least a gay cousin. every last one of you got a gay cousin. you knew he was gay when y'all was kids. you was playing ball, he was jumping rope. he didn't turn gay, he was gay then. he just didn't have nobody to be gay with. shit, l got a gay uncle. call him aunt tom. every christmas, he comes over with his ''friend.'' see, it don't make no sense to hate nobody. don't make no sense to be a racist, sexist, or nothing, but.... don't. doesn't. don't make no sense... 'cause whoever you hate will end up in your family. that's right, you don't like gays, you're gonna have a gay son. you don't like puerto ricans? your daughter's gonna come home with ''livin' la vida loca!'' don't you just love that shit? that's a song. you just want to jump up on shit. ''livin' la vida loca! ''come on!'' l feel that shit. be driving, ''livin' la vida loca!'' l love that shit. that ain't going nowhere. that's gonna be out a long time. that shit is like the puerto rican whoomp! (there it is)! l was talking about my gay uncle. see, your uncles prepare you for life. you got enough uncles, they'll prepare you for life... 'cause you got every type of uncle. you got your gay uncle, you got your alcoholic uncle. you got your stealing uncle. you got your molester uncle. everybody's got that one molester uncle. your mama's like, ''where them kids at?'' -''they're with johnny.'' -''get them kids! ''hurry up, get them kids! don't leave them with your uncle johnny!'' later on, you get molested, your mama get mad at you. ''that's what you get. ''hanging around fucking johnny. l told you about that shit! ''now walk it off!'' that's your family. l don't know. let's talk about clinton. one thing clinton did l didn't like, raise taxes. taxes all high and shit. you know what's fucked-up about taxes? you don't even pay taxes. they take tax. you get your check, money gone. that ain't a payment, that's a jack. got all these taxes: city tax, state tax, social security tax. you don't get the money until you're . meanwhile, the average black man dies at . shit, we should get social security at ! what the fuck, man? we don't live that long. hypertension, high blood pressure, nypd, something will get you. what the fuck is up with the police? my god! l am scared. l didn't get rid of no guns. fuck that shit. and l had a cop pull me over the other day, scared me so bad... made me think l stole my own car. ''get out the car, get out the fucking car! you stole this car!'' like, ''damn, maybe l did. ''oh, lord, l done stole a car.'' you know what's worse than taxes? what's worse than tax is insurance. you got to have some insurance. they shouldn't even call it insurance. they just should call it ''in case shit.'' l give a company some money in case shit happens. now, if shit don't happen, shouldn't l get my money back? that's right, man, you better have some medical insurance, or you gonna die. that's right, everybody. you got to eat right and exercise. no, you don't, you need some coverage. coverage will save your life. that's right, we all gonna die, but at least if you got some coverage... you will die on a mattress. that's right. when l was a kid, we didn't have no insurance. we didn't have a damn thing. you had to be damn near dead to see the doctor. you had to be way past robitussin. that's all we had when l was a kid: robitussin. no matter what you got, robitussin better handle it. -''daddy, l got asthma.'' -''robitussin.'' -''l got cancer.'' -''robitussin.'' l broke my leg, daddy poured robitussin on it. ''yeah, boy, let that get in there. ''yeah, boy, let that get on down to the bone. ''the ought to straighten out the bone.'s good. you run out of, put some water in the jar, shake it up, more. ''more!'' y'all like doctors 'cause they don't cure shit. they don't cure nothing. same diseases been hanging out since l was a kid, man. what's the last shit a doctor cured? polio. you know how long ago polio was? that's like the first season of lucy. shit, fred had an afro with finger waves! have you ever met anybody with polio? anybody feel a little 'poly around you? no. that's right, they don't cure shit. the same diseases been hanging out since l was a kid:, sickle cell, tuberculosis, cancer, jerry's kids still limping around. been watching the jerry lewis telethon... for probably about or years now. not one stitch of progress whatsoever. come on, man. lie to me, jerry! what the fuck you doing, jerry? put a stick in the kid's back, prop him up or some shit! come on, call steven spielberg. get some special effects on this shit! get george lucas on the case! cgl, motherfucker! what the fuck! tie some string around him, make a cripple puppet or some shit. lie to me! where the fuck's the money going? what, to keep jerry's hair black? where's the money going? think about it. frank sinatra: dead. dean martin: dead. sammy davis: dead. jerry lewis got a full head of black hair. and if you ain't gonna cure the disease, cut the kids a check! that's right, you know the little boy who's getting ready to die? get him a table dance. get him a table dance, for christ's sake! sure the people hear that request every now and then. get the boy a table dance. ''what do you want, jimmy? you're dying. wanna meet jim carrey?'' ''no, l want some big in my face. my last wish, come on.'' that's right, man. that's right, we got out there. you think they're gonna cure? no, they can't even cure athlete's foot. they ain't curing. shit, they ain't never curing. don't even think about that shit. they ain't curing it, 'cause there ain't no money in the cure. the money's in the medicine. that's how you get paid, on the comeback. that's how a drug dealer makes his money, on the comeback. that's all the government is: a bunch of motherfucking drug dealers, on the comeback. they ain't curing no. that's all it is. you think they're gonna cure? they're still mad at all the money they lost on polio! curing? shit, that's like cadillac making a car that lasts for years. and you know they can do it... but they ain't gonna do nothing that fucking dumb. shit, they got metal on the space shuttle that can go around the moon... and withstand temperatures of up to degrees. you mean to tell me you don't think they can make an eldorado... where the fucking bumper don't fall off? they can, but they won't. so what they will do with is the same thing they do with everything else. they will figure out a way for you to live with it. they don't cure shit, they just patch it up. get you to the next stop, so they can get more of your money. they ain't gonna cure it. hopefully, in our lifetime, you're gonna see somebody go: ''yo, man, you weren't at work yesterday. what's up?'' ''my is acting up. ''you know, when the weather get like this, my just pop up. ''but l took some robitussin. fine now!'' that's right, man. is scary, man. l took my test, passed it, got . you know what's scary about the test? what's scary is you don't get the results back for five days. five days, that's a long time. and you know what happens in those five days? you start reflecting. you start thinking about every nasty, skank-ass... questionable piece of sex you ever had... and everybody got a few. and you're like, ''god, what the fuck was l thinking? '' . she didn't even have teeth! ''oh, god! ''what the fuck was on my mind?'''s like the movie scrooge, and the ghost of pussy past comes. ''remember me?chy, the stripper from miami.'' you know what else happens after you take an test? you start calling up people to see if they're alive. -''hello, can l speak to lisa?'' -''this is lisa.'' -''hello, can l speak to tammy?'' -''tammy dead.'' ''what happened?'' ''she got hit by a bus.'' ''thank the lord! yes! ''go greyhound! ''yeah, she got hit by a bus!'' ''livin' la vida loca!'' at least they're still working on. at least they're trying to get rid of. some diseases, they just gave up on. there's some diseases, if you get them, you on your own. they ain't gonna have no telethon for you... r. kelly ain't singing no song. you just got this shit, that's right. you get paralyzed, they don't got shit for you. look at christopher reeve, paralyzed. superman can't walk. what kind of shit is that? superman can't walk. what's next? what the fuck! gonna drown in the tub? what the fuck kind of injustice is this? superman can't walk. the hulk gonna get the gout? what the fuck! superman can't walk. now you go tell a doctor you paralyzed, they don't got shit for you.

''where do l take this prescription, to a furniture store, motherfucker? ''l gotta go to lkea? what the fuck is this shit? ''l said l can't walk. l didn't say l can't sit!'' that's right. and if you go blind, they don't got shit for you. look at stevie wonder, been blind for -something years... got all the money in the world. don't know if he got hundreds or ones!'s just a stack to stevie. they don't got.... stevie can't see shit. can't see the day, the night, the shadow, the shade, can't even get a peek! just a peek. can we help stevie get a peek? get a fucking peek! the man wrote songs in the key of life, talking book, innervisions. can we get this brother a peek? just a fucking peek! ls that asking for too much? just a.... that's it. you tell the doctor you're blind, he don't got shit for you.

''left, you fucking nigger!'' you know what's wild about the old black men? an old black man, he ain't gonna let you fuck up his money. whenever an old black man sees an old white man... the old black man always kisses the old white man's ass.

''howdy, sir?'' l got an uncle real crazy. my uncle b., years old, hates the white people, married to a white lady. and he sits around going, ''these crackers ain't shit, except for susie.'' he tried to explain the whole thing to me one day. he said, ''yeah, l got a white wife. l love her, she love me. that's all that matters. ''but tell you this: if the revolution ever come, kill her first... ''just to show these crackers l mean business! ''motherfucker,, motherfucker cracker! shit, cracker, motherfucker! ''hi, honey. ''motherfucker cracker. kill my cracker kids, too!'' that's right, man. l don't know, black.... what do we need, y'all? l think we need a new leader. we ain't had a black leader in a while. ln a long time. somebody that moves you. you know, we had martin luther king, malcolm x... and ever since then, a bunch of substitute teachers. we ain't had the real thing. l want a motherfucker to move me. who we got? let me break everybody down. we got al sharpton, all right. al all right. he ain't malcolm or martin... but if you get your assped by the cops, he's the guy to call. of course, al kind of looks like bookman from good times... but don't let that fuck you up. who else we got? jesse jackson. jesse's all right. jesse went over there, jesse got them hostages. l don't know how the hell he did that shit. he went over there with no money, no sweet potato pie. what the fuck did jesse say? jesse must've been, like: ''do you want the united states to really be mad at you?

''biggie smalls, assassinated. struck down by assassin's bullets.'' like, ''no, they wasn't!'' martin luther king was assassinated. malcolm x was assassinated. john f. kennedy was assassinated. them two niggers got shot. shit, l love tupac, l love biggie, but school will be open on their birthday. l don't think you'll see their pictures hanging up... in your's living room. ''that's abraham, martin, and pac. ''and right here, l got one of jesus and biggie on the seesaw. ''jesus always in the air.'' we need a leader. you know who l think the black leader should be? -who l think the black leader should be? -who? pat riley. coach pat riley. no man has led more black men to the promised land... than coach pat riley. he may not get us to the mountaintop, but he'll get us to the playoffs. and that's all we want. we got a lot of women here tonight. love the women. you know who my favorite women are? big, fat, black women. give me a sister about pounds. the best people in the whole world. you know why? 'cause we live in a society where nobody likes who the fuck they are. everybody's on prozac, or some shit. everybody's getting cosmetic surgery. nobody likes who the fuck they are except fat, black women. fat, black women don't give a fuck what you think. she's going out on friday night. she got an outfit on. that shit match. she got the pumps on, and the pump fat coming out the pump. that's right. looks like they baking bread in her shoe. ''baby, your foot ready yet? just sprinkle some cinnamon on it.'' that's right. she got an anklet on, and that holding on for dear life. black women don't give a fuck. she's like, sexy. ''l am sexy, yes, l am! ''l am the sexiest motherfucker here tonight! ''yeah, l got a gut. there's some good pussy under this gut!'' that's right. you want some of this so you can ''livin' la vida loca!'' love the women, man. women, women. what the fuck do y'all want? do you know what you want? do you know where you're going to? do you like the things that life is showing you? do you know? what the fuck do women want? l know what you want: everything. that's every woman's answer: ''everything.'' women want every fucking thing. women act like life was just a big sale, or shit. ''l want to get the most shit before things close down.'' that's what fucking life is to a woman: everything. you know what men want? food, sex, silence. that's it. food, sex, silence. ''feed me, fuck me, shut the fuck up!'' our goals seem very attainable, don't they? women, it's hard to figure women out.'s hard being a guy. we always think we can buy sex. l take her here, she'll give me some. l buy her this, she'll give me some.'' nothing get you nothing. a woman knows if she's gonna fuck you within the first five minutes of meeting you. women know right away. they're shaking hands like, gonna fuck him. ''l hope he don't say nothing too stupid.'' that's right, fellas, don't say nothing too stupid... because women are all about the mood. she's in the mood to fuck you, shut up and let it happen. 'cause if you say the wrong thing, them panties are coming up mighty fast. ''what'd you say?'' she be on the phone with a girlfriend, ''yeah, l was gonna give him some... ''but he just started talking. ''l hate a man, child.'' that's right, man. relationships: easy to get into, hard to maintain. why are they so hard to maintain? because it's hard to keep up the lie. 'cause you can't get nobody being you. you got to lie to get somebody. you can't get nobody looking like you look, acting like you act... sounding like you sound. when you meet somebody for the first time, you're not meeting them. you're meeting their representative. that's right. who are the biggest liars, men or women? -men! -women! men lie the most, women tell the biggest lies. men, we lie all the time. we lie so much, it's damn near a language.'s like, to call a man out for lying... is like playing basketball with a retarded kid and calling him for double dribble. you gotta let some shit slide. men, we lie all the time. you know what a man's lie is like? a man's lie is like, ''l was at tony's house. at kenny's house.'' that's a man's lie. a women's lie is like, your baby.'' we've all heard that one. don't even look like me.'' -''he's got your hat.'' that's right. who the biggest liars? women the biggest liars. look at you, all of you. you're a fucking liar. you! you're a liar! you're all liars. all of you are fucking liars! masters of the lie, the visual lie. look at you. you got on heels, you ain't that tall. you got on makeup, your face don't look like that. you got a weave, your hair ain't that long. you got a on, your ain't that big. everything about you is a lie, and you expect me to tell the truth? fuck you! men lie, we live lies. that's why we so crazy. every now and then, we catch ourselves living a lie. we create a whole around us. for instance, every man in this room is hiding some porno in his house. every man in here got a pornography stash in the crib. that's right. not an illegal amount, just enough to get you by. thank you. and when we hide porno, we go all out. ain't behind the refrigerator or under the bed. no, we become batman when it's time to hide some porno. that's right, you hit the light switch, the whole bookshelf shifts to the side. you go down two flights of stairs into your porno cellar. janet jackme, kobe tai, jenna jameson, that's right. but women always find the porno. but they don't find it in the porno hiding place. oh, no. where do women find the porno at? ln the vcr. and fellas are like, ''damn, how can l be so dumb to leave it in the vcr?'' tell you why. 'cause when you're jerking off, you ain't in your right state of mind. your brain's all cloudy and foggy. tell you exactly what happened. one day, your woman left early. you had the whole house to yourself. so you said, ''let me get a little jerk before work.'' so you in the house, getting your jerk on. nice good jerk, too. you know, that jerk. that's a good jerk. ain't like that jerk. that's a bad jerk. that's like, ''who's that?'' l don't like that jerk. talking about the good jerk, that jerk. so you get the vaseline ready... and you just look at your dick and go: ''scream if you want to. no one's gonna hear.'' and right then, your in trouble. that's right. 'cause if you can't share what you're like, you'll have problems. when you love somebody, you got to love everything about them. you got to love the crust of a motherfucker. you can't just love the white part of the bread. you gotta love the crust, the crumbs, the tiny crumbs at the bottom of the toaster. that's what the real motherfucker is. whatever you into, your woman gotta be into, too, and vice versa... or the shit ain't gonna work. ain't gonna work. that's right. you born-again, your woman gotta be born-again, too. you a crackhead, your woman gotta be a crackhead, too... or the shit won't work. you can't be like, going to church, where you going?'' ''hit the pipe!'' that relationship ain't going nowhere. two crackheads can stay together forever. that's right, what's gonna happen? they're gonna stop fucking, that's right. they'll stop talking, stop fucking. you ever been in bed with your woman, both talking dirty, and you go too far? you ever say some shit that gets you kicked out of bed? and the woman's like, ''fuck me, harder! fuck me, daddy, spank me!'' -''all right, you ho.'' -''who you calling a ho? ''who the fuck are you calling a ho? ''untie me!'' l ain't no expert or no shit, but, fellas, if you're gonna talk dirty to your woman... you got to talk with authority. you can get a woman to do any nasty little thing you want. you say that shit like a man, make a little eye contact... put a little bass in your voice, she will do that shit. she wants to do that shit. she's dying to do that shit. your woman is nastier than you ever imagined. but you gotta come correct... because anything you mumble ain't getting done. you can't be in bed all unsure, like, ''excuse me.... ''excuse me, l was wondering.... ''ma'am, l have a request. could you lick my balls?'' ''l ain't licking nothing. lick your own balls!'' see, if you just said it right, you'd been in there. now you got dry balls. that's right, confidence always wins. do you realize, it is some women still don't give head? ninety-fucking-nine. whenever l meet a girl that doesn't give head... l look at them like a damn betamax, ''they still make you?'' and when it comes to head, there's three types of women: a: women that don't give head. bye, leave, see you. b: women that give you just enough head to shut you up. you ever meet them women? they're like, ''you okay?'' l hate them women! and number three, my favorite woman: the woman that likes nothing better than to suck a dick. that's right, god bless all of you! that's right, you make the world a better place to live in. l want you to suck my dick like you think the in it! like you trying to get some robitussin out of that motherfucker! that's right. relationships: easy to get into, hard to maintain. why are they so hard to maintain? 'cause at some point you just stop talking. that's right, everybody stops talking after a while. you know how it is. you come home and you start nodding. ''yeah, we cool. gonna get a little something to eat.'' why do you stop talking? 'cause at some point, you have heard everything this person has to say... and it makes you sick to your stomach. you know what they're gonna say before it even comes out their mouth... and you just wanna stab them in the neck with a pencil! your can't take the shit no more! and they're like, ''remember that time?'' ''yeah, l remember that time!'' -''l ever tell you about--'' -''yeah, you told me about that time! ''stop telling me the same shit over and over again! ''why don't you go out and get kidnapped, have some new shit happen to you?'' that's right. fellas, you gotta talk. that's women's biggest complaint: ''you don't talk. ''you need to talk, let's talk. you don't talk.'' that's right. women love to talk. they had talking in the olympics, a man wouldn't stand a chance. women love to talk, but they wanna talk to you. they wanna talk to their man. but women don't want you to talk-talk. women just want you to listen-listen. all a woman really wants you to do is ask her the correct questions... that will allow her to run her fucking mouth! you set her up, she'll knock them down. fellas, you want your woman to be happy? all you got to say is, ''how was your day? ''honey, how was your day?'' know why? 'cause ''how was your day?'' is a -minute conversation to a woman. and as a man, you don't really gotta talk. you gotta just act like you're talking. ''get out of here. go on! l don't believe it. ''you don't say! really? get out of here! ''go on. l don't believe it. you don't say? get out of here. ''l told you that bitch crazy!'' you gotta throw in, ''l told you that bitch crazy.'' you know why? 'cause every woman's got another woman at her job that she can't stand. women, y'all exaggerate everything. you turn it into some dynasty shit, like: ''she's trying to destroy me!'' what the fuck are you talking about? you wrap up bags at j.c. penney's! what's she doing, ripping up your paper? fellas, you gotta talk. women, exact opposite. y'all gotta learn when not to talk. that's right. you ever notice how no man comes home straight from work? no man comes home straight from work. a man get off work, he got to go somewhere. he got to drink something, he got to smoke something... he got to watch the game, he got to hang with his boys... he got to take a drive. he got to do something that will mentally prepare him... for all the talking he gonna hear when he get home. ladies, it ain't that you talk too much. you just talk too much as soon as we get in the fucking door. let a man get situated. we don't need to hear everything right away. soon as you take one step in, ''you're not gonna believe this....'' let me get my other foot in the fucking door! let me get something to eat! let me get something to drink! let me take a shit! go in the fucking kitchen and get me my big piece of chicken! out of here. thank you, new york!	krɪs rɑk ˈbɪgər ənd ˈblækər skrɪpt ˈdaɪəˌlɔg ˈtrænˌskrɪpt swɪŋ ɔn bæk tɪ ˈæftərwərdz fər mɔr fri ˈmuvi skrɪpts! krɪs rɑk ˈbɪgər ənd ˈblækər skrɪpt ˈleɪdiz ənd ˈʤɛnəlmɪn... lɪv frəm ðə əˈpɑloʊ ˈθieɪtər... ɪn ˈhɑrləm, nu jɔrk. ər ju ˈrɛdi? pliz ˈwɛlkəm ˈmɪstər. krɪs rɑk! wəts əp... nu jɔrk? ðɛrz ˈbrʊklɪn ɪn ðə haʊs. wɛl, frəm ˈbrʊklɪn. ʃɪt, lʊk æt ðɪs. waɪt ˈpipəl ər əp tɔp təˈnaɪt. ju noʊ, ɛl wɑz ʤɪst ɪn maɪ hoʊˈtɛl, ə ˈlɪtəl waɪl əˈgoʊ, ɔn maɪ weɪ hir... ənd ɛl gɑt ɪn ðə ˈɛləˌveɪtər, raɪt? ˈgɪtɪŋ ɪn ðə ˈɛləˌveɪtər... ənd ðiz tu ˈhaɪˌskul waɪt bɔɪz traɪ tɪ gɪt ɔn wɪθ mi... ənd ɛl ʤɪst dəv ɔf. ɛl sɛd, ''jɔl eɪnt ˈkɪlɪŋ mi!'' ɛl æm skɛrd əv jəŋ waɪt bɔɪz. ju waɪt ənd ˈəndər ɛl æm ˈrənɪŋ fər ðə hɪlz. wət ðə hɛl ɪz rɔŋ wɪθ ðiz waɪt kɪdz ˈʃutɪŋ əp ðə skul? ðeɪ doʊnt ˈivɪn weɪt tɪl ˈiðər. ˈkɪlɪŋ ˈpipəl ɪn ðə ˈmɔrnɪŋ. ðət eɪnt raɪt. ðə ˈmɑfiə.

"at the times the images were taken, the spacecraft ranged from to miles (12,143 to kilometers) from the tops of the clouds of the planet at a latitude range of -28.5406 to -44.4912 degrees," nasa officials wrote in a description of the images. you can see more amazing photos of jupiter by juno here. the new photos actually represent a collaboration between juno and citizen scientists gerald sean doran, who processed raw imagery collected by the probe's instrument into these dramatic, views. nasa encourages anyone to process juno pictures in this manner. if you're interested, go to the page here: https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam. the $1.1 billion juno mission launched in august 2011 and arrived in orbit around jupiter on july 4, 2016. since then, the spacecraft has been studying the giant planet's structure, composition, and magnetic and gravitational fields, gathering data that mission scientists say should shed light on jupiter's formation and evolution. juno is in a highly elliptical orbit that brings it close to the planet once every earth days. the spacecraft collects most of its data during these close passes; it has now completed eight of them. juno is scheduled to keep studying jupiter through july 2018, though the probe won't necessarily cease operations then; nasa could end up granting an extending mission. this story was originally published on. follow nbc mach on twitter, facebook, and instagram.	gɪt ðə mɑk ˈnuzˌlɛtər. ˈɛˈsiˈpi. 20 2017 piɛm ˈəpˌdeɪtɪd ˈɛˈsiˈpi. 20 2017 piɛm baɪ maɪk wɔl, nu ˈfoʊˌtoʊz baɪ ˈnæsəz ˈʤunoʊ ˈspeɪˌskræft ˈkæpʧər ðə ˈsoʊlər ˈsɪstəmz ˈlɑrʤəst ˈplænət ɪn ɔl ɪts ˈkɑmplɛks ˈglɔri. ðə fɔr ˈfoʊˌtoʊz wɪʧ ˈʤunoʊ tʊk ˈoʊvər ən spæn ɔn sɛpt. 1 ˈdʊrɪŋ ɪts moʊst ˈrisənt kloʊz ˈflaɪˌbaɪ əv jupiter—— ʃoʊ ðə gæs ʤaɪənts ˈmɛni klaʊd bændz ənd ˈkaʊntləs sˈwərlɪŋ stɔrmz (bət nɑt ðə ˈfeɪməs greɪt rɛd spɑt).

A North Dakota woman isn't handing out treats to everyone this Halloween. Instead she says she'll be handing out letters to children who are overweight. The woman says if she sees a child who is moderately obese, she'll hand them a letter to give their parents. She says she wants to send a message to parents that they're being irresponsible for sending their kids out looking for free candy just cause all the other kids are doing it. The woman feels it takes an entire community to solve the obesity epidemic. North Dakota State University Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology Dr. Katie Gordon studies eating disorders and says that children and adolescents in particular are very conscious of fitting in with peers. She says the letter might hurt more than help. "It's just that kind of thing that for some kids, if they're vulnerable, might trigger major problems." Dr. Gordon says it's important to remember that one's appearance does not necessarily reflect whether or not a person has healthy eating and exercising habits.

(rns) losing his religion cost bart a career as an evangelical ministry leader and threatened to alienate many of those he held dear especially his beloved father, the well-known evangelical educator tony. why would anyone choose that? well, it turns out, he. “i choose not to believe in god,” bart writes in his new book, “why i left, why i stayed,” with his father., now humanist chaplain at the university of southern california, adds: “like so many other post-christians, i manufacture my own on purpose; it happened to me.” thes’ book is hardly the first conversation on the degree to which we control our beliefs. but coming at a time of growing religious disaffiliation, it casts helpful new light on why belief dies (or is never born) and, perhaps more important, what happens afterward. given the demonstrated benefits of religious participation, both for individuals and the larger society, it be better if all the ex- and believers went to church? new york times columnist ross douthat thinks so. in a piece published on easter weekend, douthat, a conservative catholic, urged the nonreligious to start or resume going to church. accurately describing the political and cultural compatibility between progressive churches and the liberals who swell the ranks of the nonreligious demographic, douthat suggests that church participation would not require much of a leap for these theoretical new attendees. “i understand that the minor problem of actual belief,” douthat writes. “but many of you do believe in the kind of open gospel that a lot of mainline churches preach.” but for many, this “minor” problem of belief is actually quite major, especially when it comes to supernatural phenomena that are such a focus of worship. and christianity, as a religion that hinges on core beliefs (more than actions) to a degree unseen with other major religions around the world, is uniquely vulnerable to this problem. whatever the hurdles, tony argues someone who wants to believe can believe. it’s a matter of making a choice, he contends, and then oneself in “plausibility structures” that reinforce that choice and fend off doubt. such structures are, of course, the practices of contemporary christianity: daily habits such as prayer, study groups, retreats, close social ties with fellow believers, and the like. evidence the existence of millions upon millions of sincerely believing christians in this country suggests that these strategies work. but not for everyone. and the number of those who cannot, or will not, make the leap continues to grow. increasingly, believers’ and prospective believers’ walks through life expose them to more secular people and social dynamics. as these pesky reminders of become more frequent and conspicuous, the social penalty paid for being an “out” nonbeliever weakens. all this points to another problem with plausibility structures: why would nonbelievers feel compelled to strive for and nurture belief in something their thoughts and experiences tell them is not true? as religion writer jonathan pointed out in response to douthat, “the biggest reason people have left the mainline is not sociological. theological. people simply believe what the churches teach about god. no social or material inducement may make a difference.” blame it on the secular zeitgeist, and the advance of a scientific mindset that makes people more suspicious of supernatural claims. whatever the cause, belief is harder to muster than it used to be in the western world, and for lots of people, no amount of wishful thinking will help. considering the testimonials of believers and nonbelievers, one begins to see that this is a debate with no clear resolution. as likely to yield a final answer as that conundrum about what comes first, the chicken or the egg. what is clear is the imperative for people to navigate their clashing convictions with care and compassion, something thes have done well. in the conclusion to their book, the father and son describe how, rather than denouncing one another and ending their relationship, they found a way to accept each other and celebrate all they continue to have in common, even after: “while we come to it differently,” thes write, “each of us always reaches the same conclusion about this life: love is the most excellent way. moreover, each of us is both sure and content that the other has found that way. for now, at least, that is enough.” it certainly is. and if each debate about the existence of god and nature of faith could end on this gracious note, all be better for it.

gallery: messages from the stone age the first intrepid explorers to brave the crawl through a perilously narrow tunnel leading to the caves in southern france were rewarded with magnificent artwork to rival any modern composition. stretching a full 3 metres in height, the paintings depict a troupe of majestic horses in deep colours, above a pair of boisterous rhinos in the midst of a fight. to the left, they found the beautiful rendering of a herd of prehistoric cows. “the horse heads just seem to leap out of the wall towards you,” says jean clottes, former director of scientific research at the caves and one of the few people to see the paintings with his own eyes. when faced with such spectacular beauty, who could blame the visiting anthropologists for largely ignoring the modest semicircles, lines and zigzags also marked on the walls? yet dismissing them has proved to be something of a mistake. the latest research has shown that, far from being doodles, the marks are in fact highly symbolic, forming a written “code” that was familiar to all of the prehistoric tribes around france and possibly beyond. indeed, these shapes may be just as remarkable as the paintings of trotting horses and rhinos, providing a snapshot into first steps towards symbolism and writing. until now, the accepted view has been that our ancestors underwent a “creative explosion” around to years ago, when they suddenly began to think and create rock art. this idea is supported by the plethora of stunning cave paintings, like those at,	ˈgæləri: ˈmɛsɪʤɪz frəm ðə stoʊn eɪʤ ðə fərst ˌɪnˈtrɛpəd ɪkˈsplɔrərz tɪ breɪv ðə krɔl θru ə ˈpɛrələsli ˈnɛroʊ ˈtənəl ˈlidɪŋ tɪ ðə keɪvz ɪn ˈsəðərn fræns wər rɪˈwɔrdɪd wɪθ mægˈnɪfɪsənt ˈɑrtˌwərk tɪ ˈraɪvəl ˈɛni ˈmɑdərn ˌkɑmpəˈzɪʃən. ˈstrɛʧɪŋ ə fʊl 3 ˈmitərz ɪn haɪt, ðə ˈpeɪnɪŋz dɪˈpɪkt ə trup əv məˈʤɛstɪk ˈhɔrsɪz ɪn dip colours, əˈbəv ə pɛr əv ˈbɔɪstərəs ˈraɪˌnoʊz ɪn ðə mɪst əv ə faɪt. tɪ ðə lɛft, ðeɪ faʊnd ðə ˈbjutəfəl ˈrɛndərɪŋ əv ə hərd əv ˌprihɪˈstɔrɪk kaʊz. hɔrs hɛdz ʤɪst sim tɪ lip aʊt əv ðə wɔl təˈwɔrdz you,”,” sɪz ʤin clottes, ˈfɔrmər dɪˈrɛktər əv ˌsaɪənˈtɪfɪk ˈrisərʧ æt ðə keɪvz ənd wən əv ðə fju ˈpipəl tɪ si ðə ˈpeɪnɪŋz wɪθ hɪz oʊn aɪz. wɪn feɪst wɪθ səʧ spɛkˈtækjələr ˈbjuti, hu kʊd bleɪm ðə ˈvɪzɪtɪŋ ˌænθrəˈpɑləʤɪsts fər ˈlɑrʤli ˌɪgˈnɔrɪŋ ðə ˈmɑdəst semicircles, laɪnz ənd ˈzɪgzægz ˈɔlsoʊ mɑrkt ɔn ðə wɔlz? jɛt dɪsˈmɪsɪŋ ðɛm həz pruvd tɪ bi ˈsəmθɪŋ əv ə mɪˈsteɪk. ðə ˈleɪtəst ˈrisərʧ həz ʃoʊn ðət, fɑr frəm biɪŋ ˈdudəlz, ðə mɑrks ər ɪn fækt ˈhaɪli sɪmˈbɑlɪk, ˈfɔrmɪŋ ə ˈrɪtən ““code”” ðət wɑz fəˈmɪljər tɪ ɔl əv ðə ˌprihɪˈstɔrɪk traɪbz əraʊnd fræns ənd ˈpɑsəbli bɪɔnd. ˌɪnˈdid, ðiz ʃeɪps meɪ bi ʤɪst ɛz rɪˈmɑrkəbəl ɛz ðə ˈpeɪnɪŋz əv ˈtrɑtɪŋ ˈhɔrsɪz ənd ˈraɪˌnoʊz, prəˈvaɪdɪŋ ə sˈnæpˌʃɑt ˈɪntu fərst stɛps təˈwɔrdz ˈsɪmbəˌlɪzəm ənd ˈraɪtɪŋ. ənˈtɪl naʊ, ðə ækˈsɛptɪd vju həz bɪn ðət ɑr ˈænˌsɛstərz ˌəndərˈwɛnt ə explosion”” əraʊnd tɪ jɪrz əˈgoʊ, wɪn ðeɪ ˈsədənli bɪˈgæn tɪ θɪŋk ənd kriˈeɪt rɑk ɑrt. ðɪs aɪˈdiə ɪz səˈpɔrtɪd baɪ ðə ˈplɛθərə əv ˈstənɪŋ keɪv ˈpeɪnɪŋz, laɪk ðoʊz æt,

you know, when i say that in washington, they say, “what are you complaining about? you can go to the airport, and if you have health insurance, you can get a free breast exam, you can get a free mammogram, and if you mention the ron paul revolution, you can get a free colonoscopy.” the only problem is, some of us would prefer that our physician not be selected by advertising on the pizza hut box. i had the director of come before my committee, and he said, “well, got to pat down these children.” and i showed him a picture of a girl from bowling green, kentucky, and the agent had her hands inside this little pants. and he said to me, in all seriousness, and he followed up with a letter, and he said, “well, a girl in kandahar set off a bomb, an girl.” and i said, “this girl is not from kandahar. from bowling green, kentucky.” there’s a professor at harvard, and he wrote name is noah wrote, “the next time the asks you to put your hands above your head 'no, hon, just a little bit higher. nno, hon, a little bit higher' and when you stand there for a vulnerable seven seconds, the next time you do this, you ask yourself, is this the pose of a free man?” we have had the beginnings of some great victories, but we have yet to have the great victories. we did have a great victory in the house when we passed “audit the fed.” this is a credit to a certain congressman from texas who got every republican to vote for a hundred democrats to vote for it. a lot of news reports are saying dead now and going nowhere, and i can tell you not true. one of the great things come out of “audit the fed” is that people have heard you. heard you saying, “end the fed,” too, but also heard “audit the fed.” but the thing: because talked about “audit the fed” so much, now talking about “audit the pentagon.” now, because of hurricane isaac, not sure whether my message will get to the republican national convention, but pretty sure going to be able to speak. but one of the messages that i will give to them is that republicans need to acknowledge that not every dollar is well spent or sacred in the military, and we have to look for waste in every department of government. amy goodman: senator rand paul, republican from kentucky, speaking sunday in tampa at the ron paul celebration. moments later, his father and republican presidential candidate, ron paul of texas, addressed the crowd. sen. rand paul: i give to you the guy that is my hero, the guy that is the greatest representative of the liberty movement in our time, my father, ron paul. rep. ron paul: to me, the three problems that we have to face, number one that i see as the if we solve it, it probably would solve most of the other that is the attack on personal liberty. if people truly understood what personal liberty means, that you have self-ownership, that you have a natural, right to your life, therefore you have a right to your liberty, and we defend all life and all liberty regardless of our judgment about how people are using that liberty, then we would have the natural sequence of saying, if that is the case, you have a natural right to keep the fruits of your all of it. personal liberty, when it returns, once again be able to drink raw milk. be able to make rope out of hemp. you will be able to feel secure in your houses, that the federal government will not be able to spy on you or bust into your house without a search warrant. you will be allowed, without a government permit, to buy nutritional products, when you please and what you please. no longer will government assume they have the responsibility of protecting you against yourself. nobody can do that. the emphasis will no longer be on economic and personal security, the government will take care of us, but it will be emphasizing the government is there to protect our liberty. you know, they can give us security, you know, whether economic, which always fails, or whether personal security, but you will the government said, “we can provide you perfect security,” that what we do with animals that we breed to raise up and eat? i mean, this is what happens. secure. you put them in cages, and you put them in fields. you fatten them up. you take care of them. they have all the food they want and the best time to butcher. and this is safe. so what you want is liberty. you want this false sense of security that governments cannot give you. we’re spread too far around the world. in 140 countries. we have 900 bases. preparing right now to go into syria, and it probably be too long that we may well be in iran. we need another war. we need less wars, and we need to quit. in talking about foreign policy like this and emphasizing blowback, somebody, rather nationally, said the other day on the internet, they said, “oh, yeah, if those paul peoples had been in charge, osama bin laden would still be alive.” but you know what i think the answer is? so would the people from be alive. and would the americans who were killed in iraq and afghanistan, they would be alive, as well. and those military personnel who have come back severely injured, they would not be suffering those consequences, and we we have hundreds of thousands suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome as well as brain injuries. so i would say, if you take that and add in $4 trillion, our side wins that argument by a long shot. of course, if we had our way and we remove these dangers, of course, a president would not be able to assassinate anybody, especially never an american citizen. so, is is our big challenge? the big challenge is, is can we restore our natural rights, rights to our people, so that we emphasize the fact that return of liberty can solve so many of our problems? economic policies means private property, contract rights, gold standard, and get the government out of this business of regulating the market. and property rights regulates quite well. under those conditions, guess what happens in a free market? they say there will be no regulations. no, the regulation is, if you go bankrupt, you go bankrupt, and you get bailed out by the government. so the really big question, i think, that we have to decide upon is which way are we going to go. we see the end of an era. where is it going to go? and i think the choice is one of two. i do not think that going to be another marxist come along and restore enthusiasm for marxism. i think that tomorrow going to have the same thing as a hitler or mussolini. but i do think we have to worry about fascism, an expansion of what we already have, which is corporatism, the buddy system between big corporations, big banks, with the government. and that is the reason that we have to be on the side of saying, yes, if big and you made your money because you had special benefits and bailouts and protectionism from the government, that is wrong, but if big because you sold a good product to us and we bought it and you got rich, you have a right to be rich for doing that. amy goodman: republican presidential candidate ron paul speaking sunday here in tampa.	ðɪs ɪz ə rəʃ ˈtrænˌskrɪpt. ˈkɑpi meɪ nɑt bi ɪn ɪts ˈfaɪnəl fɔrm. ˈeɪmi ˈgʊdmən: ðɪs ɪz wɪθ kənˈvɛnʃən: wɔr, pis ənd ðə presidency.”.” ˈeɪmi ˈgʊdmən. ˈbrɔdˌkæstɪŋ frəm ˈtæmpə, ˈflɔrɪdə. waɪl ðə rɪˈpəblɪkən ˈnæʃənəl kənˈvɛnʃən wɑz ˈkænsəld fər ðə stɑrt ənˈtɪl ˈtuzˌdeɪ du tɪ ˈtrɑpɪkəl stɔrm isaac—oh, ðɛr wər ˈəðər ˈɪʃuz, ɛz wɛl, wɪʧ hæd tɪ du wɪθ ˈwɛðər æn ˈrɑmni, hu wɑz ˈplænɪŋ tɪ bi ˈspikɪŋ təˈnaɪt, wʊd bi ˈbrɔdˌkæst baɪ ðə ˈnɛtˌwərks, sɪns ðeɪ ˈoʊnli ˈwɔntɪd tɪ du θri deɪz əv ˈkəvərɪʤ, bət ɪt wɑz ðə stɔrm ðət wɑz ˈsaɪtɪd ɛz ðə ˈrizən fər ðə ˌkænsəˈleɪʃən təˈnaɪt. səˈpɔrtərz əv rɪˈpəblɪkən ˌprɛzɪˈdɛnʃəl ˈkænədɪt rɑn pɔl hɛld ðɛr oʊn kənˈvɛnʃən əv sɔrts ˈoʊvər ðə ˈwiˌkɪnd. ə ˈtuˌdeɪ fest”” wɑz hɛld æt ðə ˈflɔrɪdə steɪt ˈfɛrˌgraʊndz. ənd ɔn ˈsənˌdi, əˈbaʊt ˈpipəl hərd rɑn pɔl spik æt ðə sən doʊm æt ˌjunəˈvərsəti əv saʊθ ˈflɔrɪdə. ðə ɪˈvɛnt wɑz dɪˈskraɪbd baɪ səm ɛz ə ˌfɛrˈwɛl ˈræli fər pɔl, hu wɑz nɑt ˌɪnˈvaɪtɪd tɪ spik æt ðə rɪˈpəblɪkən ˈnæʃənəl kənˈvɛnʃən. kˈwɛsʧənz rɪˈmeɪn ɪf səˈpɔrtərz əv pɔl wɪl əˈtɛmpt tɪ dɪsˈrəpt ˌnɑməˈneɪʃən. æt taɪmz, ˈræli fɛlt laɪk ə rɑk ˈkɑnsərt, wɪθ ðə kraʊd ˈbreɪkɪŋ ˈɪntu ʧænts əv paul!”!” ˈoʊvər ðə jɪrz, ki pɑrts əv ˈplætˌfɔrm hæv ˌɪnˈkludɪd ˈʃətɪŋ daʊn ðə ˈfɛdərəl rɪˈzərv, ˈɛndɪŋ juz. wɔrz, ənd sˈlæʃɪŋ ˈfɛdərəl ˈspɛndɪŋ baɪ ɪˈlɪməˌneɪtɪŋ ˈeɪʤənsiz səʧ ɛz ðə ɪnˌvaɪrənˈmɛnəl prəˈtɛkʃən ˈeɪʤənsi ənd ðə dɪˈpɑrtmənt əv ˌɛʤəˈkeɪʃən. pɔl həz bɪn ə ˈvoʊkəl ˈkrɪtɪk əv ðə 1964 ˈsɪvəl raɪts ækt. hɪz taɪz tɪ grups laɪk ðə ʤɑn bərʧ soʊˈsaɪɪti hæv lɔŋ drɔn ˈskrutəni. ˈoʊvər ðə ˈwiˌkɪnd, ðə ʤɑn bərʧ soʊˈsaɪɪti wɑz əˈməŋ ðə ˈvɛndərz æt pɔl fɛst. ɪn ə ˈmoʊmənt, pleɪ pɑrt əv rɑn spiʧ, bət fərst wi tərn tɪ hɪz sən, ˈsɛnətər rænd pɔl. ˈmɛni ɪkˈspɛkt ɪm tɪ rən fər ˈprɛzɪdənt ɪn 2016 ər 2020 hi bɪˈgæn hɪz spiʧ wɪθ ə ʤoʊk əˈbaʊt ðə. ðə ˌtrænspərˈteɪʃən sɪˈkjʊrəti ædˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃən. sɛn. rænd pɔl: ˈɛnibədi hir ɪn ˈfeɪvər əv əˈbɑlɪʃɪŋ ðə?

less than three months before leader berta was brutally assassinated, the social arm of sa honduran company leading the agua dam project was campaigning a contract with usaid implementing partner, a washington dc based development contracting firm. the representative who was present for the public signing of the usaid agreement was none other than sergio, the social investment manager, who is now accused of’ assassination along with another former employee and individuals with military ties. the arrests also included douglas bustillo, a retired military officer and the former head of’s security detail. the trial against the accused murderers began on monday. copinh’s powerful political and economic enemies in rio blanco as one of the strongest and most recognized indigenous organizations in honduras, the council of indigenous and popular organizations of honduras, or, have challenged powerful economic and political forces while working to protect the environment and conserve the culture. the agua dam project is illustrative of’s business dealings and of what is up against. is owned by the family, one of the most powerful families in honduras. in fact, the dam project allegedly received funding from the largest bank in honduras–ficohsa, headed up by. although it has been recently under attack for its possible complicity with’ assassination, it has a dark past including allegations of money laundering. desa also benefitted from military connections and support. in a newly released interview with from 2013, berta outlines these connections; the owner, david castillo, is a west point graduate and an expert in military intelligence. moreover, douglas bustillo who was the former head of security for and a former military lieutenant is now being accused of planning’ assassination. military and police backing was also evident in the variety and quantity of armed forces during protests against the project that includes an elite us funded and vetted unit called los tigres, although they focus on combating gang violence and drug trafficking. from the start, counted on high level political support. the secretary of natural resources and the environment issued the company a environmental license for the agua project without the consultation of affected community members. perhaps more problematic, the mayor of supposedly received community consent even though the project was already way. death threats even came directly from politicians themselves; on one of her last visits to rio blanco on february 20, 2016, the of san francisco de publicly asked that berta be killed. moreover, the honduran public ministry in charge of the investigation into’ assassination, was a along with in 2014 filings seeking an injunction against demonstrations targeting the company. development or buying support for agua dam project? according to the company,’s social investment program dedicates a portion of its profits to “create and implement projects focused on bettering the quality of life in the neighboring communities to the project.” for, these initiatives were the attempts to combat the negative press surrounding the controversial project and another means of buying the support of those directly affected by the dam project. an example of this was when company purchased backpacks for school children with large logos as part of their education project. also criticized the social investment infrastructure activities were roads were built but to transport equipment rather than to deliver “development” needed or wanted by the community. in reality, was likely donating very little of its own profits given that they with state and foreign organizations like the honduran ministry of education and usaid through. helping the poor by helping the rich ironically, while usaid was giving money to, a company owned by an elite honduran family, through, to what some claim was essentially buying local support of vulnerable people in rio blanco, it made this observation on its website; one of many reasons rio blanco was part of a movement against the agua dam project was that the dam threatens the river, on which they depend for their economic and cultural survival. olivia marcela zuniga, berta daughter, addressed foreign financiers of, and accomplices to the agua dam on her facebook page: “development cannot trample over human lives, development should be to better the lives of living beings, not to kill life. the western world cannot impose its vision of development, because these are our territories, our bodies, our lives and our vision of development should prevail because it secures the existence of mother earth and that of cannot be vision of development is a vision of harmony, equilibrium and respect [with and,] for all living things”. (original post in spanish) in a february 2016 action alert, denounced usaid for its complicity in maintaining a “smokescreen of “development, employment, clean energy and social responsibility”. fintrac and complicity proper due diligence on the part of would have likely made this proudly “women owned company”, avoid getting into bed with who was engaged in a dirty fight with one of honduras most respected women leaders. from claim that the dam project was moving forward without free, prior and informed consent of those who would be directly affected, to the claim that their security chief, douglas bustillo, had threatened berta with sexual assault, the allegations and evidence should have prevented their partnership with per their code of ethics and other internal policies. usaid in honduras on the other hand, would be hard pressed to claim ignorance about the conflict in rio blanco. the contract between and was signed some time in december 2015 to provide agricultural technical assistance to 10 communities and 180 families in two municipalities in western honduras under mercado program. there is scarce public information about the contract other than a few local media outlets that covered the the contract public signing. after, who signed the contract on behalf of, was arrested, the company expressed surprise and claimed no involvement with the assassination. yet, less than a month before assassination, was among those denounced for “threatening the physical and emotional integrity” of members of in one of the urgent action alert in the last demonstration organized in rio blanco before the assassination on february 20, 2016. the family was told that the non-binding contract was canceled at the request in the weeks following’ assassination. while and usaid quietly dissolved the contract with, history will remember whose side they were on. both organizations should be held accountable to the honduran poor they claim to serve and the us taxpayers who fund them.	lɛs ðən θri mənθs ˌbiˈfɔr ˈlidər ˈbərtə wɑz ˈbrutəli əˈsæsəˌneɪtəd, ðə ˈsoʊʃəl ɑrm əv sɑ hɑnˈdʊrən ˈkəmpəˌni ˈlidɪŋ ðə ˈɑgwə dæm ˈprɑʤɛkt wɑz kæmˈpeɪnɪŋ ə ˈkɑnˌtrækt wɪθ ˈjuˈɛˈseɪd ˈɪmpləˌmɛnɪŋ ˈpɑrtnər, ə ˈwɔʃɪŋtən ˌdiˈsi beɪst dɪˈvɛləpmənt ˈkɑntræktɪŋ fərm. ðə ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnətɪv hu wɑz ˈprɛzənt fər ðə ˈpəblɪk ˈsaɪnɪŋ əv ðə ˈjuˈɛˈseɪd əˈgrimənt wɑz nən ˈəðər ðən ˈsərˌʤjoʊ, ðə ˈsoʊʃəl ˌɪnˈvɛstmənt ˈmænɪʤər, hu ɪz naʊ əˈkjuzd əv cáceres’’ əˌsæsəˈneɪʃən əˈlɔŋ wɪθ əˈnəðər ˈfɔrmər ɪmˈplɔɪi ənd ˌɪndəˈvɪʤəwəlz wɪθ ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri taɪz. ðə ərˈɛsts ˈɔlsoʊ ˌɪnˈkludɪd ˈdəgləs buˈstɪloʊ, ə rɪˈtaɪrd ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri ˈɔfɪsər ənd ðə ˈfɔrmər hɛd əv sɪˈkjʊrəti ˈditeɪl. ðə traɪəl əˈgɛnst ðə əˈkjuzd ˈmərdərərz bɪˈgæn ɔn ˈmənˌdeɪ. ˈpaʊərfəl pəˈlɪtɪkəl ənd ˌɛkəˈnɑmɪk ˈɛnəmiz ɪn ˈrioʊ ˈblæŋkoʊ ɛz wən əv ðə ˈstrɔŋgəst ənd moʊst ˈrɛkəgˌnaɪzd ˌɪnˈdɪʤənəs ˌɔrgənəˈzeɪʃənz ɪn hɑnˈdʊrəs, ðə ˈkaʊnsəl əv ˌɪnˈdɪʤənəs ənd ˈpɑpjələr ˌɔrgənəˈzeɪʃənz əv hɑnˈdʊrəs, ər, hæv ˈʧælənʤd ˈpaʊərfəl ˌɛkəˈnɑmɪk ənd pəˈlɪtɪkəl ˈfɔrsɪz waɪl ˈwərkɪŋ tɪ prəˈtɛkt ðə ɪnˈvaɪrənmənt ənd kənˈsərv ðə ˈkəlʧər. ðə ˈɑgwə dæm ˈprɑʤɛkt ɪz ˌɪˈləstrətɪv əv ˈbɪznɪs ˈdilɪŋz ənd əv wət ɪz əp əˈgɛnst. ɪz oʊnd baɪ ðə ˈfæməli, wən əv ðə moʊst ˈpaʊərfəl ˈfæməliz ɪn hɑnˈdʊrəs. ɪn fækt, ðə dæm ˈprɑʤɛkt əˈlɛʤədli rɪˈsivd ˈfəndɪŋ frəm ðə ˈlɑrʤəst bæŋk ɪn honduras–ficohsa, ˈhɛdɪd əp baɪ. ˌɔlˈðoʊ ɪt həz bɪn ˈrisəntli ˈəndər əˈtæk fər ɪts ˈpɑsəbəl kəmˈplɪsɪti wɪθ cáceres’’ əˌsæsəˈneɪʃən, ɪt həz ə dɑrk pæst ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ˌæləˈgeɪʃənz əv ˈməni ˈlɔndərɪŋ. ˈɔlsoʊ ˈbɛnəfɪtɪd frəm ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri kəˈnɛkʃənz ənd səˈpɔrt. ɪn ə ˈnuli riˈlist ˈɪntərvˌju wɪθ frəm 2013 ˈbərtə ˈaʊˌtlaɪnz ðiz kəˈnɛkʃənz; ðə ˈoʊnər, ˈdeɪvɪd ˌkæˈstɪloʊ, ɪz ə wɛst pɔɪnt ˈgræʤəˌweɪt ənd ən ˈɛkspərt ɪn ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns. mɔˈroʊvər, ˈdəgləs buˈstɪloʊ hu wɑz ðə ˈfɔrmər hɛd əv sɪˈkjʊrəti fər ənd ə ˈfɔrmər ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri luˈtɛnənt ɪz naʊ biɪŋ əˈkjuzd əv ˈplænɪŋ cáceres’’ əˌsæsəˈneɪʃən. ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri ənd pəˈlis ˈbækɪŋ wɑz ˈɔlsoʊ ˈɛvədənt ɪn ðə vərˈaɪəti ənd kˈwɑntəti əv ɑrmd ˈfɔrsɪz ˈdʊrɪŋ ˈproʊˌtɛsts əˈgɛnst ðə ˈprɑʤɛkt ðət ˌɪnˈkludz ən ɪˈlit ˈjuˈɛs ˈfəndɪd ənd ˈvɛtɪd ˈjunɪt kɔld lɔs tigres, ˌɔlˈðoʊ ðeɪ ˈfoʊkɪs ɔn kəmˈbætɪŋ gæŋ ˈvaɪələns ənd drəg ˈtræfɪkɪŋ. frəm ðə stɑrt, ˈkaʊntɪd ɔn haɪ ˈlɛvəl pəˈlɪtɪkəl səˈpɔrt. ðə ˈsɛkrəˌtɛri əv ˈnæʧərəl ˈrisɔrsɪz ənd ðə ɪnˈvaɪrənmənt ˈɪʃud ðə ˈkəmpəˌni ə ɪnˌvaɪrənˈmɛnəl ˈlaɪsəns fər ðə ˈɑgwə ˈprɑʤɛkt wɪˈθaʊt ðə ˌkɑnsəlˈteɪʃən əv əˈfɛktɪd kəmˈjunɪti ˈmɛmbərz. pərˈhæps mɔr ˌprɑbləˈmætɪk, ðə meɪər əv səˈpoʊzədli rɪˈsivd kəmˈjunɪti kənˈsɛnt ˈivɪn ðoʊ ðə ˈprɑʤɛkt wɑz ɔˈrɛdi weɪ. dɛθ θrɛts ˈivɪn keɪm dɪˈrɛkli frəm ˌpɑləˈtɪʃənz ðɛmˈsɛlvz; ɔn wən əv hər læst ˈvɪzɪts tɪ ˈrioʊ ˈblæŋkoʊ ɔn ˈfɛbruˌɛri 20 2016 ðə əv sæn frænˈsɪskoʊ də ˈpəblɪkli æst ðət ˈbərtə bi kɪld. mɔˈroʊvər, ðə hɑnˈdʊrən ˈpəblɪk ˈmɪnɪstri ɪn ʧɑrʤ əv ðə ˌɪnˌvɛstəˈgeɪʃən ˈɪntu cáceres’’ əˌsæsəˈneɪʃən, wɑz ə əˈlɔŋ wɪθ ɪn 2014 ˈfaɪlɪŋz ˈsikɪŋ ən ˌɪnˈʤəŋʃən əˈgɛnst ˌdɛmənˈstreɪʃənz ˈtɑrgətɪŋ ðə ˈkəmpəˌni. dɪˈvɛləpmənt ər baɪɪŋ səˈpɔrt fər ˈɑgwə dæm ˈprɑʤɛkt?

pauline hanson must apologise and retract hercrazy” peddling ofignorant” advice about kids, a former federal health department head said today. stephen duckett said he wasdisgusted” when the senator questioned their effectiveness and encouraged parents to do their own research. “this is a situation where got a popular politician with a significant following actually giving crazy, crazy medical advice,” he told abc radio on monday. “she has to apologise and retract that statement.” media_camera one nation leader pauline hanson at perth airport last night. senator hanson also said parents should be allowed to have their children tested before booking vaccinations. “some of these parents are saying vaccinations have an effect on some children,” she told abc television on sunday. but mr duckett, who is now director of health at the grattan institute policy think tank, rejected this. “vaccines are safe,” he said. “i cannot stress how angry it makes one feel that she is putting lives at risk ... without any evidence whatsoever.” media_cameraessor stephen duckett slammed comments as ‘putting lives at risk’. ms outspoken comments in which she also appeared to liken the no jab, no pay policy to blackmail and the actions of adictatorship” were also linked to previous remarks she has made that seem to connect vaccinations with autism. “what heard from parents and their concerns about it ... and what i have said is i advise parents to go out and do their own research with regards to this,” ms hanson said. the senator went on to argue that parents needed tomake an informed decision”. “what i like about it is the blackmailing happening with the government,” she told abc tv.don’t do that to people. a dictatorship. and i think people have a right to investigate themselves.” nsw health minister brad hazzard slammed the one nation comments, saying:those who claim the right to represent and safeguard the community apply hocus pocus critiques of otherwise extremely well-founded, scientific programs.” media_camera health minister brad hazzard slammed the one nation comments. opposition health spokesman walt secord said he shook his headin total disbelief” at ms hanson appearingon national television linking arms with the anti-vaxxers”. the australian medical president, brad frankum, labelled ms remarksvery disappointing and really quite ignorant”. “the way she has framed it is that somehow a parent is going to make a more informed decision about the value of vaccination than the entire medicalession,”essor frankum said. “that’s very dangerous, really. it is going to give people the idea that they can avoid vaccination (for their kids).” prof frankum also took aim at ms apparent attack on the no jab, no play policy, which prevents parents from receiving childcare rebates and certain other welfare payments if they have not properly vaccinated their children. “it is not forcing parents to vaccinate their children but sending the message that the government is trying to look after children,” he said. some groups continue to link vaccinations to autism and claim they pose serious health risks, but the study that the supposed link has since been discredited and debunked. the no jab, no play policy was introduced to counter an alarming drop-off in the rate of vaccination, which was exposing children to a range of deadly diseases. “if parents choose not to vaccinate their children, they are putting their health at risk and every other health at risk too,” prime minister malcolm turnbull said yesterday. opposition leader bill shorten described ms views as plain dangerous”. ms hanson created another stir yesterday by revealing she is planning to create a special one nation boutique beer to help herconnect with voters”. the senator is aiming to on her brand name and said she wasinterested in speaking to a range of craft brewers”.	pɔˈlin ˈhænsən məst əˈpɑləˌʤaɪz ənd riˈtrækt hər ““crazy”” ˈpɛdəlɪŋ əv

fox news’ ed henry took white house spokesman josh earnest to task over hysteria from harvard professors in the wake of reports of rising costs. the rising costs, reported initially by the new york times, are caused in part by the affordable care act, which many on the harvard faculty heartily supported. henry asked earnest specifically if the harvard professors are being “a little hypocritical,” given their prior support for the bill. earnest dodged inquiry, instead repeating administration talking points, telling henry that harvard professors can benefit from the aca because it allows their children to remain on their insurance until age 26 and because no one with a condition can be denied coverage. henry: “a long story in the new york times saying that large segments of the faculty at harvard university, where the president went to harvard law school, is sort of up in arms about the fact that the professor are going to have to bear a larger share of their own costs under the new law. here are some of the same professors who were advisers to the first campaign in 2008, advocated the affordable care act. and they basically said this is a great deal for america, but now that they have to pay more, up in arms about it. that a little bit hypocritical that some of the supporters at harvard are saying this is a great deal for america, but when gotta pay more, terrible, awful?” earnest: “i can only imagine the question be asking if the new york times reported that the faculty at harvard was getting a great deal.” henry: “harvard also put out a statement, by the way, saying they are doing this because the trend of costs, including some driven by reform itself. yesterday when we talked about this, you said, and there are stats backing up that costs are coming down in some respects. but harvard is citing that the law itself is raising costs. that the opposite of what the white house said?” earnest: “well, i seen exactly what harvard has said. but i do think as a general matter that the results that seen so far, early, but the early results speak to the enormous benefits that the affordable care act has paid to middle-class families across the country, to small business owners, to the bottom line, and to the success that had in lowering costs, or at least slowing the growth of costs for people all across the country.” henry: “is the president disappointed that professors at his alma mater just see those benefits?” earnest: “well, be clear: there are some important benefits that they do see under the affordable care act. that there are a number of patient protections that apply to everybody. so that everybody on the harvard faculty can get a free annual check-up from their doctor. and, again thanks to the affordable care act. nobody at harvard who has a condition can never be discriminated against again because of that condition, and every harvard professor that has an old child can keep that child on their quality harvard insurance up to age 26. and those are the kinds of patient protections that just benefit those at the bottom of the income scale, they actually benefit everybody, including the esteemed academics at harvard university.”	fɑks news’’ ɛd ˈhɛnri tʊk waɪt haʊs ˈspoʊksmən ʤɑʃ ˈərnɪst tɪ tæsk ˈoʊvər hɪˈstɛriə frəm ˈhɑrvərd prəˈfɛsərz ɪn ðə weɪk əv rɪˈpɔrts əv ˈraɪzɪŋ kɔsts. ðə ˈraɪzɪŋ

all work and no play the ability to juggle family, work and personal time affects our individual well-being. it also impacts those in our household and how much time we have to give back to our community. a significant factor in balance is the amount of time we spend at work. evidence suggests that spending too much time at work can impair our health, our safety and increase stress. in australia, approximately 14% of employees work very long hours, one of the highest rates in the oecd. interestingly, australian users of the better life index consistently give balance top priority. policy makers can help address the issue by encouraging supportive and flexible working practices. the australia institute (tai) has been conducting research since 2001, and in 2009 it launched “national go home on time day” as a way to start a conversation with australians about the importance of having balance and the consequences it can have on physical and mental health, relationships and communities. do you have an example of a better policy at work in your community? share it with us at: making happiness count asking people how they feel can tell us a lot about their health, their education, their income, their personal and their social conditions, and in time, help to identify inequalities before they take root. one of the most common indicators used is life satisfaction, which measures how people evaluate their life as a whole rather than their current feelings. since the launch of the better life index in 2011, life satisfaction has been among the top well-being priorities expressed by citizens, even in countries where material conditions such as income, jobs and housing may be very poor. clearly, being satisfied with life matters; so how can we improve policies to take it into account? in the region of southern denmark, a metric of “good life” has been developed to monitor well-being in the region. once a year, citizens are asked to assess their own level of well-being, both in general and in terms of different well-being dimensions (such as health, relationships, etc.). the initiative gives policy makers an opportunity to explore the link between objective conditions and individual perceptions of life in different places. it has also brought new perspectives to the danish growth debate. do you have an example of a better policy at work in your community? share it with us at:	ɔl wərk ənd noʊ pleɪ ðə əˈbɪləˌti tɪ ˈʤəgəl ˈfæməli, wərk ənd ˈpərsɪnəl taɪm əˈfɛkts ɑr ˌɪndəˈvɪʤəwəl ˌwɛlˈbiɪŋ. ɪt ˈɔlsoʊ ˌɪmˈpækts ðoʊz ɪn ɑr ˈhaʊsˌhoʊld ənd haʊ məʧ taɪm wi hæv tɪ gɪv bæk tɪ ɑr kəmˈjunɪti. ə sɪgˈnɪfɪkənt ˈfæktər ɪn ˈbæləns ɪz ðə əˈmaʊnt əv taɪm wi spɛnd æt wərk. ˈɛvədəns səˈʤɛsts ðət ˈspɛndɪŋ tu məʧ taɪm æt wərk kən ˌɪmˈpɛr ɑr hɛlθ, ɑr ˈseɪfti ənd ˌɪnˈkris strɛs. ɪn ɔˈstreɪljə, əˈprɑksəmətli 14 əv ɪmˈplɔɪiz wərk ˈvɛri lɔŋ aʊərz, wən əv ðə haɪəst reɪts ɪn ðə oecd. ˈɪntəˌrɛstɪŋli, ɔˈstreɪljən ˈjuzərz əv ðə ˈbɛtər laɪf ˈɪndɛks kənˈsɪstəntli gɪv ˈbæləns tɔp praɪˈɔrəti. ˈpɑləsi ˈmeɪkərz kən hɛlp ˈæˌdrɛs ðə ˈɪʃu baɪ ɪnˈkərəʤɪŋ səˈpɔrtɪv ənd ˈflɛksəbəl ˈwərkɪŋ ˈpræktɪsɪz. ðə ɔˈstreɪljə ˈɪnstɪˌtut (taɪ) həz bɪn kənˈdəktɪŋ ˈrisərʧ sɪns 2001 ənd ɪn 2009 ɪt lɔnʧt goʊ hoʊm ɔn taɪm day”” ɛz ə weɪ tɪ stɑrt ə ˌkɑnvərˈseɪʃən wɪθ ɔˈstreɪljənz əˈbaʊt ðə ˌɪmˈpɔrtəns əv ˈhævɪŋ ˈbæləns ənd ðə ˈkɑnsəkˌwɛnsəz ɪt kən hæv ɔn ˈfɪzɪkəl ənd ˈmɛntəl hɛlθ, riˈleɪʃənˌʃɪps ənd kəmˈjunɪtiz. du ju hæv ən ɪgˈzæmpəl əv ə ˈbɛtər ˈpɑləsi æt wərk ɪn jʊr kəmˈjunɪti? ʃɛr ɪt wɪθ ˈjuˈɛs æt: ˈmeɪkɪŋ ˈhæpinəs kaʊnt ˈæskɪŋ ˈpipəl haʊ ðeɪ fil kən tɛl ˈjuˈɛs ə lɔt əˈbaʊt ðɛr hɛlθ, ðɛr ˌɛʤəˈkeɪʃən, ðɛr ˈɪnˌkəm, ðɛr ˈpərsɪnəl ənd ðɛr ˈsoʊʃəl kənˈdɪʃənz, ənd ɪn taɪm, hɛlp tɪ aɪˈdɛntəˌfaɪ ˌɪnɪkˈwɑlɪtiz ˌbiˈfɔr ðeɪ teɪk rut. wən əv ðə moʊst ˈkɑmən ˈɪndəˌkeɪtərz juzd ɪz laɪf ˌsætɪsˈfækʃən, wɪʧ ˈmɛʒərz haʊ ˈpipəl ɪˈvæljuˌeɪt ðɛr laɪf ɛz ə hoʊl ˈrəðər ðən ðɛr ˈkɑrənt ˈfilɪŋz. sɪns ðə lɔnʧ əv ðə ˈbɛtər laɪf ˈɪndɛks ɪn 2011 laɪf ˌsætɪsˈfækʃən həz bɪn əˈməŋ ðə tɔp ˌwɛlˈbiɪŋ praɪˈɔrətiz ɪkˈsprɛst baɪ ˈsɪtɪzənz, ˈivɪn ɪn ˈkəntriz wɛr məˈtɪriəl kənˈdɪʃənz səʧ ɛz ˈɪnˌkəm, ʤɑbz ənd ˈhaʊzɪŋ meɪ bi ˈvɛri pur. ˈklɪrli, biɪŋ ˈsætɪsˌfaɪd wɪθ laɪf ˈmætərz; soʊ haʊ kən wi ˌɪmˈpruv ˈpɑləsiz tɪ teɪk ɪt ˈɪntu əˈkaʊnt? ɪn ðə ˈriʤən əv ˈsəðərn ˈdɛnˌmɑrk, ə ˈmɛtrɪk əv life”*” həz bɪn dɪˈvɛləpt tɪ ˈmɑnətər ˌwɛlˈbiɪŋ ɪn ðə ˈriʤən. wəns ə jɪr, ˈsɪtɪzənz ər æst tɪ əˈsɛs ðɛr oʊn ˈlɛvəl əv ˌwɛlˈbiɪŋ, boʊθ ɪn ˈʤɛnərəl ənd ɪn tərmz əv ˈdɪfərənt ˌwɛlˈbiɪŋ dɪˈmɛnʃənz (səʧ ɛz hɛlθ, riˈleɪʃənˌʃɪps, ˌɛtˈsɛtərə.). ðə ˌɪˈnɪʃətɪv gɪvz ˈpɑləsi ˈmeɪkərz ən ˌɑpərˈtunəti tɪ ɪkˈsplɔr ðə lɪŋk bɪtˈwin əˈbʤɛktɪv kənˈdɪʃənz ənd ˌɪndəˈvɪʤəwəl pərˈsɛpʃənz əv laɪf ɪn ˈdɪfərənt ˈpleɪsɪz. ɪt həz ˈɔlsoʊ brɔt nu pərˈspɛktɪvz tɪ ðə ˈdeɪnɪʃ groʊθ dəˈbeɪt. du ju hæv ən ɪgˈzæmpəl əv ə ˈbɛtər ˈpɑləsi æt wərk ɪn jʊr kəmˈjunɪti? ʃɛr ɪt wɪθ ˈjuˈɛs æt:
they all decided they wanted to become preachers and enrolled in seminary to learn how to spread the gospel. they chose one of the most prominent evangelical seminaries in the country. yet here they were, these four young from the midwest, the south and the northwest, hanging around after listening to sermons in class. they were debating whether they wanted to be the one thing fuller theological seminary is known for: evangelicals. "it's still a painful identity for me, coming from this election," said paul johnson, one of the students at fuller. discomfort with the term "evangelical" began in some quarters with the moral majority in the reagan years, which helped make "evangelical" synonymous with the republican party. ever since, evangelicals have disagreed with each other about mixing faith and politics. such debates intensified last year when president trump was elected with the overwhelming support of white evangelical voters after a vitriolic campaign that alienated many americans. most recently, after senate candidate roy moore drew strong majorities of white evangelicals in alabama despite reports of his pursuit of teenage girls when he was in his 30s, some christians across the country said they weren't sure they wanted to be associated with the word anymore. even two of the grandchildren of billy graham, the famed evangelist who helped popularize the term, are abandoning the word. "the term has come to represent white republicans and . . . sometimes and superiority," said granddaughter armfield, a writer and pastor's wife in south carolina. president donald trump, left, and jerry falwell jr., president of liberty university, pose for photos with members of gospel choir lu praise during a commencement at liberty university may 13, 2017 in lynchburg, virginia. (alex images) jen hatmaker, a author with a large evangelical following, sees "a mass exodus" from the label in her community. "the term feels irreversibly tainted, and those of us who don't align with the currently understood description are distancing ourselves to preserve our consciences," she said. at princeton university, a campus group changed its name this year from "princeton evangelical fellowship" to simply "princeton christian fellowship." for years, believers have debated whether republican politics and battles have diluted the essence of their label "evangelical" which means spreading the gospel. the term "evangelical" became popular decades ago as a way to tamp down differences, emphasizing that all people under its umbrella, regardless of denomination, agree to embrace the bible and spread its word. but politicians such as trump and moore have shown how elusive shared faith and values are today. evangelicals make up a huge portion of the american population about of the country. an increasing number of hispanic christians have come to describe themselves as evangelical in the past decade. while white evangelicals' numbers have been shrinking with surveys suggesting a decline of between 2 percent and 6 percent over the past decade it's too soon to say from demographic data to what degree a trump effect may have changed the number of people who identify as evangelical. but on fuller campus, as in other major evangelical institutions across the country, debate over the term has bubbled to the forefront, especially among younger members of the faith. "when i say that i'm an evangelical now, i always qualify it," johnson said. "reports that 80 percent of white evangelicals voted for [trump], that's an offensive statistic for me and something i feel obligated to apologize for. i don't want to be connected to that." johnson and the other students hanging out after class found themselves discussing the definition of evangelical faith, articulated by historian david bebbington: obedience to the bible as the ultimate authority, belief in the sacrifice of jesus on the cross as the source of salvation, the necessity of a personal "born-again" conversion experience, and work to spread the gospel. historically, that definition has helped to distinguish many evangelical churches from more theologically liberal mainline protestant churches, as well as from stricter fundamentalist churches. but in practice, many evangelicals don't fully embrace those four tenets, and many people who do would never call themselves evangelical. the differences often come down to cultural factors for evangelicals such as personal piety or beliefs on sexuality. or race, for black christians who share those fourfold beliefs but often don't use the term "evangelical" to describe themselves because of its historical and modern association with racism and the republican party. "i think when we start throwing around terms like 'evangelical' to the outside, it can be really ostracizing," said peter heilman, a leaning his tattooed elbows on his ripped blue jeans. he grew up labeling himself lots of ways: conservative, republican, evangelical. but in a more politically and racially diverse church has convinced him to drop those words he's concerned people won't listen to him preach if they disagree with his politics. "you have to understand the people you're speaking to and what's going to allow them to keep open ears," he said. "when it comes down to it, labels can be a dangerous thing." his classmate savannah sturgeon, a nashville native, replied, "i'm not ready to give up the term 'evangelical,' " and heilman asked, "why do you need the name if it has a negative connotation?" "it's biblical. we didn't make it up," sturgeon said. "to abandon it now is to say this decade has ruined it for us." but many fear that the association between evangelicals and trump, a historically unpopular president, has deeply damaged the reputation of evangelicals. in recent years, americans have expressed more positive feelings toward nearly all religious groups, except for evangelicals. in a 2017 pew research center poll, americans expressed greater approval than in 2014 for every religious group jews, catholics, mainline protestants, mormons, muslims, atheists and more except for evangelicals, who stayed flat at a 61 percent approval rating. in the past, "evangelical" was a useful marker of theological and cultural similarities across denominations a word providing something broader than "southern baptist" but more specific than "christian." the term "evangelical" has helped parents comb through book catalogues, choose schools for their children and decide what charities to support. ministries such as world vision and purse receive the bulk of their donations from evangelicals. book publishers such as zondervan and press publish primarily for evangelicals. institutions such as liberty university in lynchburg, va., and wheaton college draw primarily from evangelical students. "shorthands have always been helpful," said ed stetzer, the executive director of the billy graham center at wheaton, in illinois. "the question is, 'do i want to be affiliated with that?' when terms have been redefined, either when it's been hijacked or misunderstood." american evangelicals have never been unanimous on social and political issues, dating back centuries, when evangelical leaders split over their views of slavery. "to throw out the term because of some problems in the past several years is so shortsighted," said karen swallow prior, an english professor at liberty, which once described itself as a fundamentalist school but has shifted to call itself evangelical. unlike the catholic church, evangelicals have no centralized hierarchy or leader, which prior fears could make them more vulnerable to collapse than other religious traditions. white evangelicals tend to strongly oppose abortion and same-sex marriage, but they don't necessarily agree on issues such as climate change or tax policy. "the political environment hasn't caused the divisions among evangelicals, but it's highlighted the divisions that were already there," said robert jeffress, pastor of first baptist dallas, who was an early supporter of trump. "christians are going to have to decide what's foundational to their faith." in the and 1970s, there was evangelical momentum behind progressive causes and candidates, including democratic president jimmy carter, who described himself using the evangelical term "born again." but with the rise of the religious right in the 1980s, the ties between white and the republican party strengthened. support for trump is not a departure from the past several decades of evangelical political behavior, said heath carter, a historian at valparaiso university. "the reality is that evangelicals have always been willing to look past, if not outright embrace, questionable behaviors and tactics in the candidates they support," he said, pointing to evangelical support for ronald reagan, who was divorced and didn't attend church. emmett price, a professor who focuses on african american studies at the prominent evangelical seminary in massachusetts, said he worries that white christians who are abandoning the term are only looking to avoid the negative associations, not to reform their communities. if they're concerned that politics have tarred evangelicals as racist, he said, they ought to be focused on making evangelical churches less racist not on calling themselves something else. "there's a desire to detach from the political landscape right now. if one wanted to go and essentially fight somewhere for inclusivity, one would stay in that space and invite others in," he said. "ditching a term is simply ditching a term." at fuller, seminary president mark said his students used to be more willing to stay within the broad tent of and hash out their differences. "you could say, 'i'm an evangelical, and i'm part of the religious right,' or, 'i'm evangelical, and i'm not part of the religious right,' " he said. "in the reagan era . . . people would have understood that those two things are separate. i think that really changed with the" 80 percent of white evangelicals who voted for trump. now students are rethinking how they identify. "am i part of a movement that identifies with things i actually think are personally and theologically repellent to me?" he hears them asking. "if somehow i've gotten caught up in a movement like that . . . i could try to endlessly unpack it, or i could just abandon it." for his part, he thinks the label still has value, as he tries to sum up the theology that people from many different denominations who gather on fuller's campus have in common. "what word do you put in its place? there's no adequate or obviously adequate word to do that," he said. "i'm 'an orthodox christian who cares deeply about being a follower of jesus and wants to live with an open posture of engagement with culture.' that's not as tidy as simply saying, 'evangelical.' " he's editing a book that compiles essays from theologically conservative christians across a political spectrum. the book's title: "still evangelical?" this story has been updated.	ðeɪ ɔl ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd ðeɪ ˈwɔntɪd tɪ bɪˈkəm ˈpriʧərz ənd ɛnˈroʊld ɪn ˈsɛməˌnɛri tɪ lərn haʊ tɪ sprɛd ðə ˈgɔspəl. ðeɪ ʧoʊz wən əv ðə moʊst ˈprɑmənənt ˌivænˈʤɛlɪkəl ˈsɛməˌnɛriz ɪn ðə ˈkəntri. jɛt hir ðeɪ wər, ðiz fɔr jəŋ frəm ðə ˌmɪdˈwɛst, ðə saʊθ ənd ðə ˌnɔrθˈwɛst, ˈhæŋɪŋ əraʊnd ˈæftər ˈlɪsənɪŋ tɪ ˈsərmənz ɪn klæs. ðeɪ wər dəˈbeɪtɪŋ ˈwɛðər ðeɪ ˈwɔntɪd tɪ bi ðə wən θɪŋ ˈfʊlər ˌθiəˈlɑʤɪkəl ˈsɛməˌnɛri ɪz noʊn fər: ˌiˌvænˈʤɛlɪkəlz.

santa rosa (cbs sf) a water bowl was being blamed for starting a fire at its santa rosa home, according to fire officials. north bay firefighters called it is one of the most unusual fire calls ever had. perry and shay said they had to call after their dog metal bowl reflected a concentrated beam of sunlight onto the side of their house a beam so powerful, the wood started to burn. “i just looked outside a minute and saw what i thought was steam.” said shay. “a big plume of it through the glass door.. so i went over there thinking, ‘that’s not right, not normal.’ and it was smoke!” the bennett valley fire department responded before the fire got out of control. as for toby, thes said getting a new dish: a plastic bowl.

over the years, radical feminism has been attempting to demonize any display of testosterone. the slightest aggressive behavior is taken to the ultimate extreme and used to portray males as abusers. their goal clearly is to. when i was serving on the board of our local ymca, a national touring team of christian wanted to make a presentation to our youths. through various exciting, displays of strength (chopping through cinder blocks with their bare hands, etc.), the ministers taught kids christian values and principles. our female chairperson of the board rejected their proposal. she said their display struck her as promoting violence. i thought, give me a break. since when did any hint of become a bad thing? whether feminists like it or not, boys are designed to display strength and power, as well as to bond with other males. this is why so many fatherless boys join gangs. while i assume some kids truly are hyperactive, i wonder: how many boys are being drugged simply for acting like boys? when i was a kid, i saw the movie a flower drum song. one of the songs was called "i enjoy being a girl." well, i proudly proclaim, "i enjoy being a guy." as a kid, i wanted to grow up to become an artist. but even more than that, i wanted to grow up to be a man: brave, strong, and always attempting to do the right thing. i know that sounds a bit corny. blame it on my dad, because this is the image my four younger siblings (three brothers, one sister) and i had of him. in the early sixties, we black kids were bused to a newly integrated, mostly white high school. i was a short kid in seventh grade. brutus was in the ninth grade, six feet tall and on the school's basketball and football teams. he demanded my seat next to barbara jean on our school bus ride home. had brutus asked me to give up my seat, i would have. but even at my young age, i knew allowing myself to be bullied would damage my manhood. knowing brutus would probably kick my butt, i determined my manhood was worth it. i told brutus, "no!" when the bus came to my stop, i dashed off running for my life. the long-legged, gifted athlete caught me and proceeded to pound me into the gravel road. only the sight of my mom yelling and running towards us forced the giant to flee. surprisingly, brutus and i later became friends. i believe he respected my courage. even fatherhood is no longer honored and respected. i find it difficult to enjoy sitcoms and movies where the kids totally disrespect the father. they say whatever they want to him. the message is clear: "dad is an idiot." it's a far cry from the classic tv show, father knows best. to a certain degree, radical feminists have been successful in their quest to american men. you see it in everything from the way news stories are covered to national political issues. we are overly concerned with feelings rather than doing the right thing. i saw a great old movie, based on a true story, titled lifeboat. after a shipwreck, a young captain attempted to save as many survivors as possible who were crammed well over capacity in a lifeboat. the captain was forced to make extremely difficult decisions, like rationing food and water and dumping the almost dead overboard. a weak leader who refused to do what needed to be done would have caused the deaths of everyone. despite strong criticism and mutiny by some, the courageous young captain took responsibility and made painful decisions which saved the lives of most of the survivors. upon their rescue, everyone in the lifeboat was overwhelmingly grateful to the brave captain, even calling him a hero. once they were safe and secure on dry land, however, they called him a murderer. how typical. eagles fly alone. where are america's great men? america needs politicians of character and strength who will say "no" to programs. such counterproductive programs become law when we are seduced by politicians. these scoundrels skillfully appeal to our lower nature by playing the class envy card. like perfect suckers, we clamor, "let's get those rich sobs who have succeeded on the backs of the poor!" it is also time we say no to our society, where everything is about feelings and everyone is a victim. american men have a perfect example of strength and taking a stand for what is right to emulate. ironically, it is a woman from alaska. a 1992 time magazine cover are men and women different?" amazingly, this simple obvious truth was reported as a major scientific discovery. whether in athletics, business, or government, controlled, well-placed, and appropriate amounts of testosterone are a good thing. boldly say "no" to tyranny and evil. radical feminism is a perversion. it is not representative of the desires of most men and women. men should take pride in and honor their. this in no way diminishes women. on the contrary, real men are not threatened by women with healthy self-images. they even enjoy such women. so look out, radical feminists: we american men are back! wow, writing this article has me feeling pretty macho. i'm fighting an urge to pound my chest and provide meat for my family. "honey, get dressed! i'm taking you to dinner at our favorite steakhouse! afterwards, we'll rent a movie. how about tarzan, king of the jungle?"	ˈoʊvər ðə jɪrz, ˈrædɪkəl ˈfɛmɪˌnɪzəm həz bɪn əˈtɛmptɪŋ tɪ ˈdiməˌnaɪz ˈɛni dɪˈspleɪ əv ˌtɛˈstɑstərˌoʊn. ðə sˈlaɪtəst əˈgrɛsɪv bɪˈheɪvjər ɪz ˈteɪkən tɪ ðə ˈəltəmət ɪkˈstrim ənd juzd tɪ pɔrˈtreɪ meɪlz ɛz əˈbjuzərz. ðɛr goʊl ˈklɪrli ɪz tɪ. wɪn aɪ wɑz ˈsərvɪŋ ɔn ðə bɔrd əv ɑr ˈloʊkəl ymca, ə ˈnæʃənəl ˈtʊrɪŋ tim əv ˈkrɪsʧɪn ˈwɔntɪd tɪ meɪk ə ˌprɛzənˈteɪʃən tɪ ɑr juθs. θru ˈvɛriəs ɪkˈsaɪtɪŋ, dɪˈspleɪz əv strɛŋθ (ˈʧɑpɪŋ θru ˈsɪndər blɑks wɪθ ðɛr bɛr hænz, ˌɛtˈsɛtərə.), ðə ˈmɪnɪstərz tɔt kɪdz ˈkrɪsʧɪn ˈvæljuz ənd ˈprɪnsəpəlz. ɑr ˈfiˌmeɪl ˈʧɛrˌpərsən əv ðə bɔrd rɪˈʤɛktɪd ðɛr prəˈpoʊzəl. ʃi sɛd ðɛr dɪˈspleɪ strək hər ɛz prəˈmoʊtɪŋ ˈvaɪələns. aɪ θɔt, gɪv mi ə breɪk. sɪns wɪn dɪd ˈɛni hɪnt əv bɪˈkəm ə bæd θɪŋ?

while partisans try to diminish the role radical islam plays in fueling global terrorism, a new report released by the institute for economics and peace (iep) finds that "the most prolific religious terrorist groups are almost exclusively islamic." the 2012 global terrorism index rates 158 countries related to terrorism from using data from the global terrorism database (gtd), which is collected and by the university of maryland's national consortium for the study of terrorism and responses to terrorism (start). start is directly affiliated with the us department of homeland security (dhs). "the rise of religious extremism is well-documented," the report says, with islamic groups being the most prolific. it notes a decrease in attacks from groups since 2008, but adds that some islamist groups like "the taliban or (let) have nationalist/ separatist aspirations." the nationalist characteristics of such islamic terror groups do not, however, negate their violent islamist nature. for such groups, "'true' islam only exists when it is the primary source of governance, manifest today by the implementation of a fundamentalist interpretation of islamic law," the report says. "it supersedes tribe, or nationality today, it is to be defended everywhere it exists, and when it exists it is an ascendant force. according to this logic, in the current moment of extended crisis muslims are to follow the example of the prophet and emigrate from places of persecution to a place where they can fight on behalf of 'true' islam. if they cannot make that journey, they are to fight where they live." the report ranks 158 countries by the terrorist violence it suffered, both the raw number of attacks and the resulting casualties. the top 5 are iraq, pakistan, afghanistan, india and yemen. it is a refreshingly candid, assessment from a group which describes itself as a "non-profit research organization dedicated to shifting the world's focus to peace as a positive, achievable, and tangible measure of human well-being and progress."	waɪl ˈpɑrtəzənz traɪ tɪ dɪˈmɪnɪʃ ðə roʊl ˈrædɪkəl ˌɪsˈlɑm pleɪz ɪn fˈjulɪŋ ˈgloʊbəl ˈtɛrəˌrɪzəm, ə nu rɪˈpɔrt riˈlist baɪ ðə ˈɪnstɪˌtut fər ˌɛkəˈnɑmɪks ənd pis (iep) faɪndz ðət "ðə moʊst proʊˈlɪfɪk rɪˈlɪʤəs ˈtɛrərɪst grups ər ˈɔlˌmoʊst ɪkˈsklusɪvli ˌɪzˈlɑmɪk." ðə 2012 ˈgloʊbəl ˈtɛrəˌrɪzəm ˈɪndɛks reɪts 158 ˈkəntriz rɪˈleɪtɪd tɪ ˈtɛrəˌrɪzəm frəm ˈjuzɪŋ ˈdætə frəm ðə ˈgloʊbəl ˈtɛrəˌrɪzəm ˈdætəˌbeɪs (gtd), wɪʧ ɪz kəˈlɛktəd ənd baɪ ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti əv ˈmɛrələndz ˈnæʃənəl kənˈsɔrʃjəm fər ðə ˈstədi əv ˈtɛrəˌrɪzəm ənd rɪˈspɑnsɪz tɪ ˈtɛrəˌrɪzəm (stɑrt). stɑrt ɪz dɪˈrɛkli əˈfɪliˌeɪtɪd wɪθ ðə ˈjuˈɛs dɪˈpɑrtmənt əv ˈhoʊmˌlænd sɪˈkjʊrəti (dhs).

op-ed: america needs a larger congress republicans took control of the house of representatives in 2010 by arguing for smaller government. but northwestern university's jacqueline stevens says the house itself is too small, and that it's time to add more representatives to the legislative body. neal conan, host: and now, "the opinion page." tomorrow night, president obama addresses a joint session of congress for his state of the union address. that includes 435 members of the house of representatives, one for about every of us. that ratio used to be a lot smaller. while the population of the united states continues to grow, the number of representatives in the house has not changed since 1912. over the weekend, an in the new york times argued it's high time to expand it again. more representatives from smaller districts would enlist more citizen legislators and reduce the influence of special interests, and end the system - was the argument. do you feel represented enough by your congressman or woman? give us a call,. email us, talk@npr.org. you can also join the conversation at our website. that's at npr.org. click on talk of the nation. joining us now from her office at northwestern university is jacqueline stevens, a professor of political science, and of the piece with professor dalton conley. nice to have you with us today. professor jacqueline stevens (department of political science, northwestern university): hi, nice to be with you. conan: and isn't the size of congressional districts - or the number of people represented by members of congress - isn't that in the constitution? prof. stevens: well, no. as you mentioned at the beginning, the requirement in the constitution simply states that there can be no more than one member for every inhabitants in the united states. and at this point, we're up to one for - as you mentioned - every inhabitants in the united states. conan: thirty thousand is about the size of a legislative district in the state of new york. prof. stevens: that's about right. and so you are - the argument that professor conley and i make is that that's a good size for our congressional districts, and will allow for more members, more representation and, especially important, more citizen control and oversight of federal agencies. conan: so how - you're arguing is a good number as opposed to 700. that's a lot of new members of congress. prof. stevens: well, is the number that's in the constitution for the citizens that were represented in 1787 who were part of the electorate. in fact, the inhabitants who were elected per member were because women couldn't vote, and slaves were counted as of a person for purposes of apportionment. we're not saying that there's, you know, it has to be a fixed number of one per every. but we're using that number to encourage discussion, given the vast disparity between that number and what we have now. conan: so how often was it changed before, as you suggest, the last change in 1912? prof. stevens: well, the require - the constitution requires the census for the purpose of congress. and thatment, we now understand, is part of moving members around, and we talk about the distribution from - you know - blue states to red states, and so forth. but until 1910, congress also used the census to regularly increase the size of the membership. so the first congress that met in 1787 had 65 members. after the 1790 census, that went up. and it went up every 10 years, fairly regularly, until 1910. and the number that we have now is the number that was set following the legislation that was passed in 1910. conan: there have been more than a few states admitted to the union since 1910. prof. stevens: that's correct. the number of seats was redistributed among the additional states. it went up temporarily to 437 members -briefly - when alaska and hawaii were admitted because the constitution also requires that each state have a minimum of one representative. so it went up briefly to 437 before reverting back to 435. conan: and... prof. stevens: the one exemption to thement - this is, interestingly enough, the period at which the changes stopped - was following the 1920 census. after the 1920 census was taken, the results indicated for the first time that more people were living in urban than rural areas. and the members actually violated the requirement of the constitution to within three years of the census and simply failed to do so, because there was a lot of concern - mostly on the part of - that so-called foreigners would be, you know, seizing control of the united states government. and so they simply, you know, violated that requirement of the constitution. conan: foreigners meaning germans, italians, irish... prof. stevens: meaning recent immigrants into the united states who were, you know, presumably voting members of the population and therefore, were causing some consternation among the current representatives. conan: well, if 435 is not enough, and if one per is probably too many, what's a reasonable number, do you think? prof. stevens: well, you know, it's not obvious that there's any problem, actually, with even one per every. the numbers that we throw out in the piece are if we were to return to the level that people had in 1912. conan: that's about one - well, i can't do the math that quickly in my head. (soundbite of laughter) prof. stevens: right. that's about one for every people. conan: ok. prof. stevens: and just to give, you know, the audience a sense of the -where the united states fits in the context of other representative democracies, canada right now has a population of 33 million people. and they have 308 members in their parliament, which works out to one for every 190 sorry, one for every inhabitants. england has a population of 61 million people, with 650 members in their parliament. and that's actually one for every inhabitants. conan: and you also argue that this would have a number of beneficial effects - that in fact, it would encourage more citizen legislators. why do you think that? prof. stevens: well, the smaller the size of the district, the easier it is for people to campaign on the basis of, you know, personal networks and face-to-face contacts. and the less reliant people would be on money in order to reach larger audiences. so if you had, you know, a district that was - say, you know, somewhere between 30 and people, that's the size of a large university campus - or as you were mentioning, you know, a legislative district for a state assembly. and it's fairly easy for people to establish personal contacts. so that would mean that there would be less reliance on people having to depend on lobbyists and other narrow, special interests for financial contributions in order to be elected. conan: to take out tv advertising and that sort of thing. prof. stevens: exactly. conan: and you also say it would be the end of the monopoly. prof. stevens: well, yes. i mean, if you think about the implications of smaller districts, there - that means that there are more - there's a possibility that you could have - say, you know, a green party member from cambridge; a libertarian from, you know, a portion of orange county. and there would be more, you know, representation of different points of view - something that i think is desired by various constituencies across the political spectrum. conan: all right. let's see if we get some callers in on the conversation. jacqueline stevens is with us on "the opinion page" this week; a professor of political science at northeastern - excuse me, northwestern university. (soundbite of laughter) prof. stevens: that's right, that's right - along with my colleague dalton conley, from new york university. conan: and their opinion is that the house of representatives ought to be expanded considerably. and they argue it would have any number of beneficial effects. do you feel represented properly or underrepresented:. email: talk@npr.org. let's start with phil(ph), phil with us from cincinnati. phil (caller): thanks, neal. yeah. i just had a couple, quick points to make, and i do feel underrepresented. but i think there's two bigger issues, systemic issues at play here. and that's the influence of gerrymandering and special interests. you know, even if you increase the number of representatives, which would create - you know - more representatives that might, you know, have third parties like the green party or the libertarians. the problem is, you're still going to have these districts, and i think that we see that going on. and the other problem is, without fixing campaign finance, you might have more members of the house of representatives, but you still have an equal opportunity for them to be beholden to the special interests, even if there's less money involved in each, individual race. i think that without public financing, we still run into that problem. conan: all right. why don't we take this one at a time. jacqueline stevens, gerrymandering, district lines are drawn up by state legislatures, which are often highly partisan in that process. prof. stevens: right. well, i mean, it's easy to be - to talk about partisanship in a system, where it's just one or other. but once you have smaller districts, even if gerrymandering is a possibility and you get the libertarians in on it and the socialists in on it, and the green parties in on it, the fact that you'd have more diversity would still mean more representation. so i think it actually would diminish that problem. whereas, under the current gerrymandering - you know, under the current system, gerrymandering means that people have their narrow interests completely ignored because they're into these larger districts. conan: and phil's other point about special interests: if there are more but smaller congressional districts, wouldn't the price necessarily -any individual member of congress might be less influential, but might be cheaper to buy. prof. stevens: well, i mean, i'm not quite sure what the evidence of that would be. if you have a smaller district, it would seem to follow that there would be less reliance on money. i mean, we do have to, you know, rely on elections and accountability for our electorates. and so it's not clear that - and actually, the evidence from political science would suggest that just having a lot of money doesn't buy you an election. and in fact, in our recent cycle, we've seen a number of candidates who are absolutely the richest people, and they lose. so i'm not quite sure that there's the evidence for that argument. that's not to say that public financing is a terrible idea. but i don't know that that would be the argument for it. conan: let's go next to chris(ph), and chris calling from miami. chris (caller): hi. good afternoon. i think this is a terrible idea. we spend $20 billion, give or take a billion here or there, on the operation of the congress as it is. we spend $4 billion on elections. i don't think anyone out here in mainstream america really thinks more government is the idea that we're looking for. i think the entire reason that the tea party did so well was that people want less government. prof. stevens: i'm so glad you raise this point. well, i think that if you're concerned about high expenditures on the part of the federal government, you should actually love this idea, not hate it. the reason that i say this is that a lot of the expenditures that you're referring specifically on congress, would be for congressional staff. and what we're proposing is that members of congress take on the responsibilities currently undertaken by unaccountable staffs who are appointed bureaucrats. there's two kinds of benefits to that. the first is that there's more direct control by people who are accountable to their constituents. and the second is that that control would mean better oversight over the vastly increased federal government. i'm sorry, go ahead. chris: but there's no impetus for that to happen. the driving force is always, every congressman wants staffers. there's benefits for lobbyists and for knowledge outside. there's no reason to expect that, you know, if you had congressmen, that they each wouldn't, over time, their own staff members, their own additional. we don't have -show any history, over the last 200 years of government, of showing government getting smaller. it's always a one-sided direction of government getting larger. prof. stevens: well, i don't think that's exactly true. i mean, you know, up until the 1930s, the typical congressional staff was one or two people. and so it's true that in the 1940s, they increased the size of their staff, but that was actually following the increase in the size of the federal government. the last time there was a serious discussion about increasing the size of the house of representatives this was in the late - the committee actually contemplated increasing the size to 485. and the reason for that was the increasing size of the federal government. and the purpose of increasing the size of congress was to increase control of that. if you look at the extent of, you know, corruption and fraud and so forth that's committed in, you know, by contractors with the federal government, it would seem that one would find it very to have people who are by accountability to their constituents, to directly intercede in the oversight and hold people's feet to the fire as opposed to, you know, staff members who, as we've seen, have not been so successful in doing that. conan: you could find a link to the by jacqueline stevens and the her, dalton conley, at our website. go to npr.org. you're listening to talk of the nation from npr news. and let's go next to buzz(ph), and buzz with us from basalt in colorado. buzz (caller): thank you so much. by the way, it's amazing this woman is thought of as a, by npr, as a - expert. states that discourage illegal immigration lose representation. the constitution says every person will be counted so every time they count an illegal - like in california - or even a regular immigrant, like in california, other states lose their representation. it's a travesty, and it's ridiculous. and i would like to hear what she has to say. prof. stevens: i'm not quite how this is a question about the distribution of members of congress, or the size. it seems that this particular caller would have a problem with the apportionment regardless of the size. if there were 100 members of congress, that point would be the same one. i mean, i have other disagreements about the characterization of undocumented people living in the united states and, you know, the relevance - sorry, their ability to have representation, but i'm not quite sure that that's on point for this particular conversation. conan: there is, however, an interesting point which you do raise in the piece, that the only people who can authorize this in other words, it does not require a constitutional amendment to do it; it requires a vote by members of congress to reduce their influence. prof. stevens: right - and as has occurred historically every 10 years, until 1910. so it's not without precedent, but it would require... conan: it's beyond the living memory, let's put it that way. prof. stevens: there you go. right. and so that would be that is the main obstacle. it would require grassroot mobilization and which would begin with the awareness of this possibility in order to pressure congress to change the law. but just to be clear, as you - you know, mentioned in the opening segment, this is merely a law. it's a statute just like the, you know, federal requirements for the, you know, national highway speed limits. and it can be changed with a majority of both the house and the senate. conan: and the president's signature. prof. stevens: and the president's signature, yes. conan: jacqueline stevens, thank you very much for your time today. we appreciate it. prof. stevens: thank you so much. conan: jacqueline stevens is a professor of political science at northwestern university; of a new york time's with professor dalton conley, on expansion of the house of representatives. professor stevens joined us from her office in chicago. again, you can find a link to that piece at our website.

toronto -- ontario premier kathleen wynne says a government grant of up to $85.8 million to fiat chrysler to support production of a hybrid electric minivan is not "corporate welfare." wynne made the announcement today at the fiat chrysler automotive research and development centre in windsor. the government says the investment for the chrysler pacifica will safeguard the windsor assembly plant, where chrysler added new jobs on top of existing positions to produce the minivan. economic development minister brad duguid says chrysler will have to submit invoices to the provinces of investments they have made in order to get the grant money. wynne says her government made the decision to "partner" with the auto industry, a critical sector in ontario, but that doesn't make it "corporate welfare." ontario's liberal government has a long history of providing money to automakers, and teamed up with the federal government in 2009 to contribute $10.6 billion to chrysler canada and canada to keep them afloat during the recession. when ontario sold its and chrysler shares, it gained about $1.1 billion on its original $4.8-billion bailout package to the two automakers. wynne is set to meet later wednesday in detroit with ford motor company executive vice president joseph hinrichs and michigan gov. rick snyder.	tərˈɑntoʊ ɑnˈtɛrioʊ prɛˈmɪr kæθˈlin wɪn sɪz ə ˈgəvərnmənt grænt əv əp tɪ ˈmɪljən tɪ faɪæt ˈkraɪslər tɪ səˈpɔrt pərˈdəkʃən əv ə ˈhaɪbrɪd ɪˈlɛktrɪk ˈmɪniˈvæn ɪz nɑt "ˈkɔrpərət ˈwɛlˌfɛr." wɪn meɪd ðə əˈnaʊnsmɛnt təˈdeɪ æt ðə faɪæt ˈkraɪslər ˌɔtəˈmoʊtɪv ˈrisərʧ ənd dɪˈvɛləpmənt ˈsɛntər ɪn ˈwɪnzər. ðə ˈgəvərnmənt sɪz ðə ˌɪnˈvɛstmənt fər ðə ˈkraɪslər pəˈsɪfɪkə wɪl ˈseɪfˌgɑrd ðə ˈwɪnzər əˈsɛmbli plænt, wɛr ˈkraɪslər ˈædɪd nu ʤɑbz ɔn tɔp əv ɪgˈzɪstɪŋ pəˈzɪʃənz tɪ ˈproʊdus ðə ˈmɪniˈvæn. ˌɛkəˈnɑmɪk dɪˈvɛləpmənt ˈmɪnɪstər bræd ˈdəgwɪd sɪz ˈkraɪslər wɪl hæv tɪ səbˈmɪt ˈɪnvɔɪsɪz tɪ ðə ˈprɑvənsəz əv ˌɪnˈvɛstmənts ðeɪ hæv meɪd ɪn ˈɔrdər tɪ gɪt ðə grænt ˈməni. wɪn sɪz hər ˈgəvərnmənt meɪd ðə dɪˈsɪʒən tɪ "ˈpɑrtnər" wɪθ ðə ˈɔtoʊ ˈɪndəstri, ə ˈkrɪtɪkəl ˈsɛktər ɪn ɑnˈtɛrioʊ, bət ðət ˈdəzənt meɪk ɪt "ˈkɔrpərət ˈwɛlˌfɛr." ɑnˈtɛrioʊz ˈlɪˌbərəl ˈgəvərnmənt həz ə lɔŋ ˈhɪstəri əv prəˈvaɪdɪŋ ˈməni tɪ ˈɔtoʊˌmeɪkərz, ənd timd əp wɪθ ðə ˈfɛdərəl ˈgəvərnmənt ɪn 2009 tɪ kənˈtrɪbjut ˈbɪljən tɪ ˈkraɪslər ˈkænədə ənd ˈkænədə tɪ kip ðɛm əˈfloʊt ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə ˌriˈsɛʃən. wɪn ɑnˈtɛrioʊ soʊld ɪts ənd ˈkraɪslər ʃɛrz, ɪt geɪnd əˈbaʊt ˈbɪljən ɔn ɪts ərˈɪʤənəl ˈbeɪˌlaʊt ˈpækɪʤ tɪ ðə tu ˈɔtoʊˌmeɪkərz. wɪn ɪz sɛt tɪ mit ˈleɪtər ˈwɛnzˌdeɪ ɪn ˈdiˌtrɔɪt wɪθ fɔrd ˈmoʊtər ˈkəmpəˌni ɪgˈzɛkjətɪv vaɪs ˈprɛzɪdənt ˈʤoʊzəf ˈhɪnrɪks ənd ˈmɪʃɪgən gəv. rɪk sˈnaɪdər.

sri international is developing a process that combines coal and natural gas to produce liquid transportation fuels that are substantially cleaner and cheaper to make than existing synthetic fuels. hot injector: this injector simultaneously blasts methane to 600°c, and coal, into a gasification reactor, thereby enabling production of synthetic fuel. sri claims its process addresses three liabilities that have slowed the commercialization of the technology. by blending some natural gas into the conventional (ctl) process, the private research lab, based in menlo park, california, claims to have eliminated carbon footprint, slashed water consumption by over 70 percent, and more than halved its capital cost. chan park, a gasification and synthetic fuels expert at the university of california, center for environmental research & technology, cautions that work is at an early stage. but park says the process “could be really exciting” as a domestic alternative to petroleum fuel in coal and countries such as the it can be demonstrated at pilot scale. sri’s process is the fruit of a 2008 solicitation by the defense advanced research projects agency (darpa) seeking a cheap, process for producing jet fuel. darpa awarded sri $1,612,905 to pursue a novel concept: using methane from natural gas as a hydrogen source instead of water in a new process. conventional plants blend pure oxygen, steam, and coal at high temperatures and pressures, generating carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas that can be combined to synthesize liquid hydrocarbon fuels. the gasification also generates carbon dioxide, partly from the combustion of some coal with the pure oxygen, and partly through undesirable reactions between water and carbon. in process, methane to 600 °c displaces much of the water required, thus reducing the unwanted reaction with the coal. the methane also reduces the amount of heat absorbed by the gasification process, eliminating the need for oxygen and combustion to maintain the to °c temperatures the process requires. as a result sri says it can eliminate the use of combustion that the process requires, making do with renewable or nuclear power instead. skipping oxygen not only eliminates a source of carbon dioxide, but contributes substantial cost savings by eliminating the need for an oxygen plant. further savings are achieved through more efficient fuel synthesis. sri estimates that its process will generate jet fuel for $2.82 per gallon, which is under $3 target. projected capital cost for a well below the $6 billion cost of a plant, but still well above $1.5 billion target. park says sri needs to prove its process beyond its “bench-scale” demonstrations in order to provide such cost estimates with any degree of certainty. based on experience with his own gasification is being developed for plants by spinoff is skeptical that electrical heating will prove feasible at larger scale. eric larson, a research engineer with princeton energy systems analysis group, says process could prove to be “technically doable” and still suffer from a critical flaw: producing a fuel that will release carbon dioxide when it is burned. “on a basis, the fuel is no better than petroleum fuel on emissions,” says larson.	ˈɛˈsɑˈraɪ ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl ɪz dɪˈvɛləpɪŋ ə ˈprɔˌsɛs ðət kəmˈbaɪnz koʊl ənd ˈnæʧərəl gæs tɪ ˈproʊdus ˈlɪkwɪd

children have grown too big for their school chairs, a survey of 750 schools revealed. teachers said "desk and chair sizes were often inappropriate". it is understood the education department has been taking orders for chairs. paediatric dietician susie burrell said children who were overweight often didn't carry obvious fat but instead looked older than their age. she said children risked weight problems or diseases such as diabetes and fatty liver. she said parents should check if their children's waist measurement at the belly button was less than half their height. having to wear clothing more than two sizes bigger than their age group could also indicate a problem. a teachers federation spokesman said it was also common for students in years 5 and 6 to be taught in year 3 classrooms with small chairs. the education department said schools were running healthy eating programs. "the department takes the issue of childhood obesity seriously and works with a number of agencies to address the issue," a spokesman said. "we have a number of initiatives to support school communities as well as promote healthy eating." he said parents needed to enforce the message about healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle at home.	ˈʧɪldrən hæv groʊn tu bɪg fər ðɛr skul ʧɛrz, ə ˈsərˌveɪ əv 750 skulz rɪˈvild. ˈtiʧərz sɛd "dɛsk ənd ʧɛr ˈsaɪzɪz wər ˈɔfən ˌɪnəˈproʊpriɪt". ɪt ɪz ˌəndərˈstʊd ðə ˌɛʤəˈkeɪʃən dɪˈpɑrtmənt həz bɪn ˈteɪkɪŋ ˈɔrdərz fər ʧɛrz. ˌdaɪəˈtɪʃən ˈsuzi bərˈɛl sɛd ˈʧɪldrən hu wər ˌoʊvərˈweɪt ˈɔfən ˈdɪdənt ˈkɛri ˈɑbviəs fæt bət ˌɪnˈstɛd lʊkt ˈoʊldər ðən ðɛr eɪʤ. ʃi sɛd ˈʧɪldrən rɪskt weɪt ˈprɑbləmz ər dɪˈzizɪz səʧ ɛz ˌdaɪəˈbitiz ənd ˈfæti ˈlɪvər. ʃi sɛd ˈpɛrənts ʃʊd ʧɛk ɪf ðɛr ˈʧɪldrənz weɪst ˈmɛʒərmənt æt ðə ˈbɛli ˈbətən wɑz lɛs ðən hæf ðɛr haɪt. ˈhævɪŋ tɪ wɛr ˈkloʊðɪŋ mɔr ðən tu ˈsaɪzɪz ˈbɪgər ðən ðɛr eɪʤ grup kʊd ˈɔlsoʊ ˈɪndəˌkeɪt ə ˈprɑbləm. ə ˈtiʧərz ˌfɛdərˈeɪʃən ˈspoʊksmən sɛd ɪt wɑz ˈɔlsoʊ ˈkɑmən fər ˈstudənts ɪn jɪrz 5 ənd 6 tɪ bi tɔt ɪn jɪr 3 ˈklæsˌrumz wɪθ smɔl ʧɛrz. ðə ˌɛʤəˈkeɪʃən dɪˈpɑrtmənt sɛd skulz wər ˈrənɪŋ ˈhɛlθi ˈitɪŋ ˈproʊˌgræmz.

62 mpg ‑imp )[2] in 1984 and was reported to often achieve over 70 miles per u.s. gallon (3.4 km; 84 mpg ‑imp ) in favorable driving conditions. the later liter (high fuel economy) model (chassis codes and) could also reliably achieve very good gas mileage, more than a decade before hybrids appeared on the market, and at no price premium over the base model; the liter is rated by the u.s. environmental protection agency (epa) (under the new rating system) at 42 miles per u.s. gallon (5.6 km; 50 mpg ‑imp ) city and 51 miles per u.s. gallon (4.6 km; 61 mpg ‑imp )] u.s. model curb weights [ edit ] crx si manual automatic manual manual 1984 lb (825) - 1985 lb (825) lb (777) lb (886) '86-'87 lb (846)[4] lb (861)[4] lb (777)[4] lb (897)[4] second generation [ edit ] 1991 honda si in green overview production model years powertrain engine l 62 (1988–89) 72 (1990–91) 1.5 l 92 1.5 l 103 1.6 l 105 (1988) 1.6 l 108 (1989–91) 1.4 l[ citation needed ] 1.6 l 130 1.6 l 1.6 l 1.6 l 140 1.6 l 150 dimensions wheelbase (90.6 in) length (148 in) (1990–91) 3,754 (147.8 in) (1988–89) width (65.9 in) (1990–91) 1,669 (65.7 in) (1988–89) height (50.1 in) (1990–91) 1,270 (50 in) (1988–89) curb weight (1,808–2,205 lb) overview [ edit ] the chassis was significantly changed in 1988, from its original torsion bar in the front and beam axle and trailing link in the rear to double wishbone suspension, in line with its sister models. outside of north america, this second generation was available with a 1493 cc or an updated version of the 1590 cc engine. many of these were fitted with fuel injection as standard. honda sir the-equipped models also received a makeover, with updated bumpers, lights, hood, brakes, suspensions and dashboard designs amongst other things. additionally, some of these design changes were added to the concurrent models. one of the options for the japanese domestic market (jdm) was a glass roof, a fixed glass panel which stretched from the top of the windshield to the top of the hatch opening. relatively common in japan, these are models in other markets. drivetrain [ edit ] in september 1989, honda added the 1595 cc engine to the lineup outside of north america. the engine used variable valve timing to provide increased power at high while still allowing low fuel consumption and better idling at low. the produced 150 (110 kw;

"dx" models were available with an automatic transmission, all others had a manual transmission. a modification was made to the rear of the vehicle on all second generation vehicles in that a glass panel was installed on the upper half of the rear of the vehicle, above the tail lights which aided in visibility in addition to the glass hatchback. this panel is heavily black. features and equipment [ edit ] air-conditioning was a option on all models. the si model came with a power sliding sunroof and alloy wheels. underneath, the si model was equipped with a rear bar along with variable ratio steering. the si models had disc brakes. colors and trim [ edit ] there were a total of six colors offered each model year. four color options were available on the and si and two color options were available for the. color availability would vary based on trim package and the interior color would depend on the exterior color] 1988 1989 1990 1991 color name si si si si blade silver metallic x x x x barbados yellow x x x superior blue metallic x x x x polar white x x x x x x x rio red x x x x x x x x flint black metallic x x x x x x torino red pearl x x celestial blue pearl x x frost white x x x green pearl x curb weights [ edit ] crx si manual automatic manual manual] lb (872) lb (825) lb (915)] lb (929) lb (832) lb (970)] lb (954) lb (892) lb (986) changes by model year [ edit ] 1988 first year of the second generation. 1989 si and base model have door mounted seatbelts. revision due to side impact collision changes. si model's horsepower increased to 108 (105 in 1988) due to revised camshaft. 1990 minor changes to headlights, bumpers and taillights. instrument cover slightly more rounded. hazard switch relocated to the dash. si models now with disc brakes. si models receive updated alloy wheels. 1991 final year of the second generation. barbados yellow is replaced by green on the si model. production by model year [ edit ] model 1988 1989 1990 1991 total honda honda honda si total [7] third generation [ edit ] in 1992, honda replaced the with a new, topped, model called the honda del sol, otherwise known as simply the honda del sol. the del sol was also as the del sol in some markets, and known as simply the in others. it is because of this that the del sol is generally considered the "third generation" among enthusiasts, although it was arguably a very different car and honda had seemingly quite different design goals when they built needed] in the united states, the del sol came in three trim lines: s in japan, later vgi), si in europe), and in europe) ;

this friday, deep sea diver will release their new album, secrets, via their own high beam records. ahead of the release, the record is streaming in full below. band mastermind jessica dobson has a plentiful resumé all of her own as a touring member of the shins, yeah yeah yeahs, and band. secrets, however, is the effort that will solidify deep sea diver as a formidable project in its own right. unlike past and their 2012 history speaks debut, this new album is propelled forward by newly ferocious guitar work. “i tried to take a step in the direction of having i know if ‘jarring’ is the right word, but more guitar tones,” dobson told the stranger in an interview. it was a little scary for me at first. it felt untamed. even rehearsing it has taken me a lot more time to be able to sing them and play those parts at the same time. on the first record, it felt very manageable and safe. this one isn’t.” but take her word for it or even ours. underneath the stream, read a review by some of deep sea musician friends including britt daniel, the shins’ james mercer, death cab for ben gibbard, greg saunier, delta matthew logan vasquez, blake mills, delicate steve, and more. ben von on “notice me”: “notice me” sounds like a lost track from rumors played by king crimson. they put a smooth blues guitar riff into some kind of meat grinder that churns out robotic staccato riffagery. against, sure, but it hurt your brain. at its heart still beats a bob west coast groover under the leathery skin of a steve scorcher. this kind of pop song deconstruction is something “the diver” does well. they turn muscular, brainy riffs into accessible, catchy songs. that elevates, rather than destroys, traditional pop song craft. but at the end of the day mostly offended no raging sax jam. matthew logan vasquez (delta spirit) on “wide awake”: no matter how well they record this song (and they recorded it beautifully), it will never compare to how noisy and fun this track is going to be live. and rhythmically, it harkens to best moments. hard for me to not imagine the band smashing their instruments with joy at the end of the song. i would love to hear “wide awake” in a john claude van damme movie while working out and getting better at something like kung fu or mind control. ben gibbard (death cab for cutie) on “creatures of comfort”: i’ve been sitting in from my computer for the better part of an hour listening to deep sea wonderful new track, “creatures of comfort.” the page has been blank until about 30 seconds ago when i wrote the preceding sentence. it has been through this exercise that learned a reason i became a songwriter and not a music journalist; i seem to completely lack the ability to write eloquently about such a beautiful song. it’s by no means jessica fault. she certainly fulfilled her end of the bargain by constructing a soaring chorus i find myself singing to no one in particular through the streets of capitol hill. i keep saying to myself, “damn, this song fucking rules!” but not the kind of thing one can write into a track review. you gotta come with something far less caveman that that. but afraid going to have to do today because the most honest statement i can muster about “creatures of comfort”. sometimes loving a song is just that simple; you put it on repeat and completely fall into it until no thinking, just experiencing. over and over. tearing us apart with our own two, own two arms. delicate steve on “secrets”: “secrets” has some guitar parts that remind me of clouds. the bass reminds me of an ant colony. there are even some guitar parts that remind me of ants. i listen to secrets and i hear clouds and ants. and i am happy. james mercer (the shins) on “great light”: well, the thing about “great light” is that so fucking gorgeous you want to cry. that happen often. at times it no longer seems to be a goal deemed worth striving for in the pop world. but a tangent i want to go down. honored to have been asked to communicate something meaningful about this gorgeous work but really too much to ask. it’s a song that touches a listener with profound sadness. the melancholy that comes from recognizing some universal, perpetual desire. musically and lyrically just fantastic. just have to buy the damn record. britt daniel (spoon) on “see these eyes”: jessica dobson is pure rock and roll but you can feel heaps of elements coming together on a song like “see these eyes”. is it gonna be a fun ride? the introductory organ swell and riff might make you think where this is headed til you get to the vocal, which goes for serious depth. is it a confession? is it a condemnation? is it a rock song? is it for dancing? you listen and you tell me. truthfully i know and i like it that way. the troopers in deep sea diver have been kicking around in the corners of the awareness for a bit now, hoping this record gets them on some front pages soon. pure bathing culture on “always waiting”: sarah versprille: rose quartz, white christmas lights in a backyard, 1996, driving at night in western state in the winter, the part of your heart that cocks head to the side to ask you a question when you look straight at it. daniel hindman: sick bass playing. greg saunier (deerhoof) on “it takes a moment”: full disclosure: i like anything that has an sound and anyone who pronounces a as though it were the letter i, as in “momint.” i like sections of songs where just a melody with no chords but the melody had better be good which luckily this one is. i like it when sure you like a song because of its rawness and its ugly guitar and then as your thought is finishing up you realize the song actually has a lush string orchestra on it. but i predict you will like it too. brian blade on “body on the tracks”: there is this feeling of entering a dream sequence from the first sounds of “body on the tracks”. unable to judge what year it might be and the sonic invitation that stirs my curiosity. what comes next? the beautiful questions that might not have answers or that only time will tell by continuing to listen. the rhythm keeps you swaying side to side and back and forth until the motions become a circle, actively surrendering to the moment. i am inspired and challenged by the lyrics, “i’m holding on to the one i love/ quit trying to wait for some day that never comes.” there are some things that remain secrets between me and god or between me and the one i love, but i be keeping the songs from this album to myself. i think that music lives outside of time, just sweeping through the air, descending at the perfect moment for the ones with an open ear and an open heart to receive the secrets. i should go now and make a that john coltrane and the beatles and giuseppe verdi and deep sea diver. blake mills on “new day”: when piano becomes own accompaniment in verse two, i smile with a feeling of relief. up until then, the frame belies its underlying complexity. with almost notes, the piano anthropomorphizes, and becomes decidedly more self-sufficient than in the first verse. another satisfying juxtaposition is in the lyrics of “new day”, which succinctly convey this complicated emotional world. the lines, “there’s always a reason to forget you ever crossed my mind i know a new day though nothing has changed” hit inside cleanly and keep resonating for a good while after. precise music.	ðɪs ˈfraɪˌdeɪ, dip si ˈdaɪvər wɪl riˈlis ðɛr nu ˈælbəm, ˈsikrɪts, ˈviə ðɛr oʊn haɪ bim ˈrɛkərdz. əˈhɛd əv ðə riˈlis, ðə ˈrɛkərd ɪz ˈstrimɪŋ ɪn fʊl

in case missed it, been a bit of between the white house and washington state leaders. related: 16 years after quake, are we ready? though local leaders seem to be dismissive of the threat of funding cuts, millions could be at stake in king county and seattle alone if the federal government finds a way to keep its promise. the potential loss in funding has been focused on government programs. but what if there was a real catastrophe? you know, one that might require actual cooperation between the two parties? for example, the looming earthquake that the commander of the entire washington national guard says will be a “catastrophe we have never seen” the earthquake that some say could happen in less than 100 years. is there any risk that washington state could be ignored when the quake hits? we went to eric holdeman, director of the center for regional disaster resilience, for an answer. in short, answer: no. “i think in an actual disaster, where you have the stafford act and emergency management agency coming in, those types of funds should not be impacted,” holdeman said. the stafford act was signed into law nov. 23, 1988. it declares that in a case of disaster, federal and local governments are required to provide “orderly and continuing means of assistance.” “there is no way i think he could withhold a presidential declaration for a really major disaster,” holdeman said. “that would be playing politics with lives. and i know some would say we see that happening all the time, i think a disaster is different.” ‘big one’ prep could be shaky that mean the trump cuts have an impact on the “big one.” trump has campaigned on his ability to hold grudges and washington leaders have gone out of their way to ensure the first few months on the job easy. following proposed travel ban, washington attorney general bob ferguson led a successful lawsuit that stopped the ban in its tracks. trump followed with some angry tweets. meanwhile, governor jay said he was “disturbed” by the intentions as our leader. this week, attorney general jeff sessions announced that the administration would be keeping its promise of cutting funding to jurisdictions that consider themselves to be a “sanctuary” for immigrants. seattle is one of those cities. seattle city attorney pete holmes is confident that the city is following all of the rules and be “bullied.” holdeman said funds that could be at risk are the ones provided via the emergency management agency for preparedness, mitigation, and homeland security projects. “whether buying equipment, doing training, doing disaster exercises like the ‘cascadia rising’ that was held last june those are the funds that conceivably could be in jeopardy depending on what the administration chooses to do,” holdeman said. “cascadia rising” brought local and national agencies together to participate in earthquake drills. it was the largest exercise ever to be held in relation to a quake. federal officials estimated that over a period, about people were involved. along with preparing for a large-scale event, “cascadia rising” revealed the state was largely unprepared for such a natural disaster. an analysis of the drill found that the disaster plans for such a catastrophe are “inadequate” in many areas. though holdeman says trump probably hold funding back in the case of emergency, he expects more friction between the state and the federal government. “depending on what happens on climate change there could be a lot more points of friction between washington state our values and that of the new administration,” holdeman said. still, if the “big one” rumbles in, holdeman said washington residents should feel confident that help will be on its way no matter how bad it gets between the two sides. “to withhold that would be a political disaster for the federal administration,” holdeman said. of course, when it comes to national emergencies, it is often up to the president to determine whether or not federal assistance is needed. kipp robertson contributed to this story.	ɪn keɪs mɪst ɪt, bɪn ə bɪt əv bɪtˈwin ðə waɪt haʊs ənd ˈwɔʃɪŋtən steɪt ˈlidərz. rɪˈleɪtɪd: 16 jɪrz ˈæftər kweɪk, ər wi ˈrɛdi?

with the high probability of andre villas boas becoming the new tottenham manager in the near future, so much so that bonus code were not giving much in the way of a return. has taken an objective step back from his recent chelsea venture to just how andre villas boas proposes that his teams play their football. english premier league fans may be aware that he possesses facial hair styled to perfection and presents himself as the immaculate gentleman, but his time at chelsea present him with the opportunity to get his concepts across tottenham however, is a whole different proposition. what to expect: andré villas boas is a manager to believes that the strength of his team is focused around a particular system and as we saw at chelsea, is a manager who is consistent with his proposed style of play, even through poor spells. but write him off just yet, to judge him on his chelsea performance would be unwise. with the ball: prefers his team to be patient in possession and ‘pick the lock’ at the right moment. one of the key factors for his failure at chelsea has often been suggested that was lacking a creativeer, one just like. a breed of creativity and flair that was also present in his porto side through the talent of joao moutinho. andré castro was joao understudy at porto and under the supervision of villas boas appears to have become a clone of mouthinho. villas boas has also demonstrated at both clubs he likes to play a formation with two dynamic, fast and goal scoring inside forwards/wingers. and mata were instructed to take up these roles at chelsea and both did a reasonable job at adapting to’s ideologies, however neither are naturally players positioned on the flanks. at porto boasted the skills and pace of varela and hulk, two players that lennon and bale are more than a match for, two game changers. the basis of’s strategy is that when his side are in possession, the pitch is made as big as possible by spreading the formation out wide and the space created by getting the wide men on the ball as often as the play-makers. avb is clearly a firm believer in the old proverb that ‘possession is of the game.’ the logic behind this belief is twofold. if you have the ball, the other team cannot score and secondly, if your team have the ball the opposition become exhausted chasing you down. this therefore has two desired effects, one is that the opposition are so tired than upon winning the ball from you, they are easier to press and tackle in the following moments of play; secondly, their attacks become slower and a lot more predictable: either through a resort to long ball or the struggle to retain possession and get a foothold in the game. ‘keep ball’ has the potential to act as a virtuous cycle. without the ball: presses high up the field and is unlikely to sit back against anyone, not even man city or united. one particular issue at chelsea was that of a slow back line and it would be fair to say they failed to cope with defending any immediate counter attack. avb conducts his team in this way so that the pitch is made as small as possible for opponents: by squeezing up the back line and using the off side trap aggressively the opposite to when in possession. this tactic requires quick defenders to successfully cope with any threat of the long ball over the top. pressing in the right areas and at the right times can lead to a significant source for lots of goals: “a study in 1988 of 16 international matches showed that possession was won 13% of the time in the attacking third. a staggering 66% of goals scored were from this paul cooper the above image was taken from an excellent article about brendan rodgers’ pressing approach and shows just how effective high pressing can be the left back in the above image is limited to route one or to play the ball back to his goal keeper, who is also likely to play a route one ball. route one football more often than not results in the ball being turned over back to the defending side. while rodgers and boas represent different schools of football philosophy, their approach to pressing is similar. rodgers relies on the concepts derived from tiki football, however you could argue takes much of his concepts from michels’ of ajax in the 1970’s, a type of football that michels actually called himself ‘pressing football’: “i would describe what the journalists call ‘total football’, as ‘pressing football’. to me, this expression seems to put the emphasis on the type of football i was trying to create with ajax and with the dutch national team in the 1974 world cup. what i wanted to create was a game in which all ten outfield players pressed forward all the time even when we have the ball!” michels, ex ajax manager and creator of ‘totaal voetball’ differences however, lie in the rigidity of structure in formation between total football and villas-boas’ approach. many would argue here that is simply a of total football, however there are many differences between the two that have come around as a response to player strengths within a team. formation : prefers to prepare his team around an axis of three in the middle of the park, each complimentary of one another. frank represents a type of player that see fit in any one of the three roles. looks to field one defensive minded player and two players who are comfortable at playing further forward in possession, one of whom is still capable of acting as a box to boxer. avb likes players who can defend from the front and attack from the back. full backs with attacking qualities would prosper in’s tactical approach. while the formation above shows both and van der both within the axis, it is likely that sandro will have a larger role to play. however, during’s porto days he played both and guarin in the same possibly suggesting that given he expects his team to be in possession more often than not, two ball playingers would be acceptable. lastly, jermaine defoe may well be offered a lifeline and find a regular spot in’s tactical approach. was a player who simply scored goals. of course, there is nothing simple about scoring goals and the player who is selected to play up front is expected to be in the right place at the right time all the time: “the big thing is everybody says being in the right place at the right time. but more than that, its being in the right place all the time. because if i make 20 runs to the near post and each time i lose my defender, and 19 times the ball goes over my head or behind me then one time three yards out, the ball comes to the right place and i tap it in then people say, right place, right time. and i was there all the time” gary while the same players are all listed in the formation above as the familiar faces we saw under, the most fundamental changes come from the pressing and build up play differences of the two styles of football. conclusion avb’s tactical foundations are based around a fluid passing game but in a strict and rigid formation. he has a track record in showing a belief that players should be selected that fit his system and not a system chosen to cater for the best players. the possible appointment of would represent a move away from and his adaptive tactics to fit the best players in a side to villa boas’ approach to fit players to a system, a selection of the best team, not players. clearly, the key for succeeding at spurs comes down to whether he is able to keep players: luka and gareth bale in particular. both are players who fall perfectly into place with his tactical set up and as chelsea saw, it is not easy to implement’s ideas without the correct of player in each given role. the philosophy that will propose aims to provide “freedom by design”, freedom of creative football by an implementation of structure. the potential sales of both bale and however, would not be all doom and gloom as both would demand such large fees, which would therefore allow villas boas to actually go out and purchase players who fit his system an opportunity he was never truly given at chelsea. be too surprised to finally see recruit some of his old porto friends this time around. it is worth reminding yourself however, that tottenham have a youth player more than capable of stepping up to the big stage next season, a player who fits the creative role like no other english player and impressed from start to finish in the series last season: alex pritchard. and villas boas is not one to be afraid to choose a youth player and allow him the opportunity, after all’s career has been built around opportunities offered to him despite his age, and let us not forget… he is still only 34 years old himself!	wɪθ ðə haɪ ˌprɑbəˈbɪləˌti əv ˈɑnˌdreɪ

western rite orthodoxy, western orthodoxy, or orthodox western rite are terms used to describe congregations that are within churches of orthodox tradition but which use of western or latin origin rather than adopting eastern such as the divine liturgy of. john chrysostom. while there are some ancient examples of western rite communities in areas predominantly using the byzantine rite before the great schism was fully consolidated (the monastery of saint mary of the latins, often referred to as amalfi, is a common example), the history of the movement is often considered to begin in the nineteenth century with the life and work of julian joseph overbeck. western rite parishes and monasteries exist within certain jurisdictions of the canonical eastern orthodox church, predominantly within the russian and jurisdictions in north america, with the latter having created an western rite (awrv). in addition, the western rite is practiced within religious communities outside the main eastern orthodox church. the communion of western orthodox churches and the orthodox church ofance are entirely western rite. furthermore, there is a small number of western rite communities among the olds, such as the former western rite of the holy synod of milan and the autonomous orthodox of north and south america and the british isles. in the past, there have also been western rite communities within oriental orthodoxy. western rite parishes are found almost exclusively in countries with large roman catholic or protestant (particularly anglican) populations. there are also numerous devotional societies and publishing ventures related to the western rite. despite having a place within many eastern orthodox jurisdictions, the western rite remains a contentious issue for] origins [ edit ] territorial extent of byzantine (southern) italy during the early century. modern city names (in english) are provided alongside the medieval greek names. in the times prior to theological disputes that arose between and 11 century, byzantine rite churches of the east and latin rite churches of the west were in full communion, confessing the same orthodox, catholic christian faith. in the east, the byzantine rite was the predominant liturgical rite. in the west, the latin rite was the dominant rite. in the time of the final schism of 1054, most of the churches that remained in communion with four eastern used the byzantine rite, though there wereill regions where other, including the roman rite, were used. one of such regions was byzantine (southern) italy. in the time of the final split (1054) much of the southern italy wasill under byzantine rule and was organized as the of italy. for centuries, church life in byzantine regions of italy was developing under dual influence of latin and byzantine traditions. during the century, latin rite churches in byzantine italyill did not use the interpolated creed needed] and were in full communion with eastern orthodoxy. during the wars, byzantine empire finally lost its last positions in the west. the norman conquest of southern italy was completed with the conquest of bari in 1071. one of the main consequences of the political change was the establishment of the supremacy of the church of rome over the church life in former byzantine italy. the main theological challenge was resolved at the council of bari in]om that point, all churches in southern italy were obligated to accept the clause into the creed. implementation of that decision soon marked the end of latin rite orthodoxy in southern italy. after the century, the byzantine rite was gradually becoming dominant in the eastern orthodox world, almost to the point of exclusion of any other liturgy. traditions of old western orthodoxy wereill regarded with high reverence by eastern orthodox needed] but for centuries no organized attempt was made to preserve or revive the latin branch of orthodoxy. this changed in the late and early centuries when some western christians converted to orthodoxy but retained some of their western liturgical forms of worship. nineteenth century [ edit ] during the 1840s, william palmer, a church of england priest, corresponded with russian orthodox church / metropolitan drozdov, of moscow, and khomyakov. from 1864, julian joseph overbeck, a former roman catholic priest, worked to establish a modern orthodox western rite. overbeck convertedom catholicism to and married. he then emigrated to england in 1863 to become professor of german at the royal military academy, woolwich, where he also undertookudies of the church of england and orthodoxy. in 1865 overbeck was received as a layman into the russian orthodox church (because he had married following his ordination as a roman catholic priest), by father eugene poppoff, at the russian embassy in) as a part of his conversion into the roc , overbeck requested permissionom the holy synod of the russian orthodox church to begin a western orthodox church in england. initially, was hesitant about request, but did not rule out the idea entirely. overbeck outlined his rationale for a western orthodox church in his 1866 book catholic orthodoxy and anglo-catholicism, a largely polemical work describing why the established western churches should be] in 1867 overbeck began to edit the orthodox catholic review, a periodical for the advancement of western orthodoxy. overbeck convinced others about the feasibility of a western orthodox church and in 1869 submitted a petition containing 122 signatures, including many in the oxford movement, to the holy synod asking for the creation of a western liturgical rite within the roc .[5] a commission investigated petition, in 1870 heated his case before the commission in. petersburg. the commission approved the petition and he was instructed to present a revised western liturgy for evaluation by the commission. he presented a revised western liturgy in december. that liturgy was subsequently approved for use specifically in the british] over the next several years, overbeck developed for administering other sacraments and for praying a divine office. overbeck attempted to woo[how?] old catholics to his scheme since they had recentlyom the roman catholic church over first vatican council's dogmatic definition of papal infallibility, though to little avail. during this time, he continued to criticize roman catholics and anglicans as well as those western converts to orthodoxy who utilized the byzantine rite. by 1876, overbeck appealed to other orthodox churches for their recognition of his plan. in 1879 he was received in audience by the patriarch joachim of constantinople, who recognized the theoretical right of western christians to have a western orthodox church. three years later, joachim and the synod of the ecumenical patriarchate conditionally approved western rite and benedictine offices. however, efforts ultimately did not result in the establishment of a western orthodoxy. he was especially suspicious of the role which the greeks in london (and the church of greece generally) played in theagnation of his ambitions, directly blaming the greek church's protest against the plan in) the orthodox catholic review ended publication in 1885 and overbeck died in 1905 without seeing a western orthodox church. georges summed up experience in this way: "it was not just a fantastic dream. the question raised by overbeck was pertinent, even if his own answer to it was conceived. and probably the vision of overbeck was greater than his personal] twentieth century [ edit ] while overbeck did not live to see his dream successful, the idea of a western orthodox church did not disappear. the early part of the twentieth century was characterized by a series of falsearts. in 1911, arnold harris matthew (a former roman catholic priest, later consecrated an old catholic bishop), entered into union with the oriental orthodox patriarchate of antioch under metropolitan (messarah) of beirut and, in 1912, with the eastern orthodox pope of (for: conflicts with multiple reliable sources) discuss] bishop 1909 old catholic missal and ritual may have been approved as a western rite liturgy by pope of alexandria,[speculation?] who wrote: "...we have thanked you omit the clause, and that you do not accept money for celebrating masses. we agree with you as to the observance of your autonomy, and of the latin rite in actual use, so long and so far as they agree with the holy and with the canonical ordinances of the seven synods, which form the basis of the orthodox] both unions were contracted in quick succession and only lasted for an effective period of a few months. though the union was protested by the archbishop of canterbury to and the patriarch of antioch, matthew's group claimed that communion was never formally broken] in 1890, the first western rite orthodox community in north america, an episcopal parish in green bay, wisconsin, by. rené, was received by bishop vladimir discuss] however, was soon ordained a bishop in the jacobite church, an oriental orthodox church not in communion with the eastern orthodox church. other small groups using the western rite have been received, but usually have either had little impact or have declared their independence soon after their reception. western rite parishes were established in poland in 1926 when a half-dozen congregations were received into eastern orthodoxy; however, the movement dwindled during world war] orthodox church ofance [ edit ] in 1936, the roc received a small group led by a former liberal catholic bishop, (1880–1937), as occidentale] was received as an, took the religious name irénée, and soon died.'s work was continued, with occasional conflict, by one of his priests, (1905–1970) and lucien chambault, the latter of which oversaw a small orthodox benedictine community in paris. after 1946, began to recreate a rite based on the letters of germain of paris, a bishop of paris, numerous early western and sacramentaries, and some byzantine modifications; his development was the divine liturgy of saint of] archimandrite alexis van der mensbrugghe, a former roman catholic monk, who taught at the western church's. denys theological institute but remained in the eastern rite, attempted to restore of the ancient roman rite, replacing medieval with and byzantine forms. eventually, alexis was consecrated as an roc bishop in 1960, continued his western rite work under the auspices of the moscow] in 1953, pressured by the russian orthodox church[clarify] to adopt the eastern rite, the western orthodox church went its own way, changing its name to the orthodox church ofance. after several years of isolation, the church was recognized as an autonomous church by metropolitan of and was in communion withom 1959 to] archbishop john ( 's representative in western europe at the time), became the of the church ofance. at this time, had the church change its name to orthodox deance (ecof). also consecrated in 1964 as a bishop. took the religious name jean-nectaire.'s death in 1966 was a serious blow to the western orthodox christians inance. while the russian orthodox western rite mission withered and ended, thrived; however, after died, was left without canonical protection until his death in 1970. in 1972, the church found a new canonical superior in the romanian orthodox church. gilles was then consecrated as bishop and took the religious name germain of. in 1993, after long conflict with the synod of the romanian orthodox church about alleged canonical irregularities within , the romanian orthodox church withdrew its blessing of and broke off] the romanian orthodox church decided, which is contested by , to deposeom all functions. this decision (which was never accepted by ) is applied by the canonical dioceses of the dess deance). the sanction was confirmed and explained in 2001 by another document, "avis canonique"om the secretary of the romanian synod (a document which the considers to have no value). the romanian orthodox church established a under's brother, gregoire, to minister to those parishes which chose to remain in communion with the romanian orthodox needed] in 2001, scandalized by the revelation within of's 1995 marriage and subsequent annulment, ten parishes separatedom , formed the union des associationss de rite occidental (uacoro), and began negotiations in 2004 with the serbian orthodox church to be recognized, with the intention of the entering the diocese ofance and western europe. the laity and clergy of were received individually into theench diocese of the serbian orthodox church in 2006. these parishes are now predominantly byzantine rite, with the liturgy served a few times a year. of the communities that left the only ones which now retain the western rite are those that went on to form the orthodox church of the gauls. although the name of the church legally remains the orthodox catholic church ofance, it usually goes by its previous name, the orthodox church ofance.[clarify] north america [ edit ] saint of moscow's contribution to the western rite has been more enduring. while he was bishop of the roc 's diocese in america, some episcopalians were interested in joining orthodoxy while retaining anglican liturgical practices., sent the 1892 book of common prayer, about the viability of orthodox parishes composed of former anglicans using anglican liturgical practices. in 1904, the holy synod concluded that such parishes were possible and provided a list of doctrinal corrections to the book of common text of the prayers and rites that were necessary to profess in orthodox worship. the holy synod also concluded that detailed changes in the book of common prayer and in anglican liturgical practices, together with compilations of new prayers, and entire rites, can only be carried out on location in america and notom] while did not receive any episcopalians as none approached him for reception into the roc , his efforts laid the groundwork for the later reception of episcopalians into the following the 1975 revision of the book of common prayer. the most successful andable group of western rite parishes originated within the orthodox church under bishop in the as part of the american orthodox catholic church. in 1932, bishop consecrated an episcopal priest, ignatius nichols, as auxiliary bishop of washington and assigned him to the western rite parishes. however, due to complaintsom episcopalians that the episcopal church was the "american" orthodox] the american orthodox church that and nicholas were a part of became estrangedom what would become and the orthodox church in america (oca). the subsequent marriages of both and nichols violated orthodox canon law, and left the church and its subsidiaries without canonical] in 1932, nichols founded the society of clerks secular of saint basil as a devotional society for clergy and laity dedicated to the celebration of the western rite. nichols also consecrated alexander turner as a bishop in 1939. turner a small parish in mount vernon until nichols' death in 1947, when he assumed leadership of the society and concluded that there was no future for the society of saint basil outside of canonical orthodoxy. turner described the situation the society found itself in by saying: it was ... during the tempestuous days following the bolshevik revolution that the society had its inception as a missionary organ of the nascent federation of american orthodox colonies under russian suzerainty, though of local syrian administration. with the collapse of that plan and the submission of the ethnic groups to the churches of their homelands, the society was left in] through father paul, he began unofficial dialogue with metropolitan antony bashir. even before this, turner had been promoting western rite orthodoxy through his periodical orthodoxy. in 1961, the society (consisting of three parishes) was received into the syrian archdiocese on the basis of metropolitan 1958 edict. upon reception, bishop alexander turner became a canonical priest of the orthodox church, guiding the group as until his death in 1971, thereafter he was succeeded by. however, after turner's death, the sole surviving basilian, williamancis forbes, returned to the american orthodox catholic church and was consecrated a bishop in october] besides the original communities associated with the society, a number of other parishes have been received into the western rite of the archdiocese, particularly as elements within the episcopal church became dissatisfied with liturgical change and the ordination of women. the first episcopal parish to be received into the was the episcopal church of the incarnation in detroit,] additionally, several western rite missions have been founded within the , some growing into full parishatus. furthermore, when parishes of the evangelical orthodox church joined the archdiocese in 1987, a few parishes joined as western rite congregations. however, many of these former congregations subsequently switched to the byzantine rite. among old groups, the sole jurisdiction utilizing a western rite is the autonomous orthodox of north and south america and the british isles, with approximately two dozen parishes. due to their generallyricterance, only older rites such as the sarum are permitted. elsewhere [ edit ] in 1995, the church of antioch also established a british to absorb convertsom the church of england,[clarify] though none of these congregations is now western] western rite orthodoxy, in australia and new zealand, emerged mostlyom anglican and continuing anglican communities. some communities were received[when?] into the by archbishop (kapral) of the diocese of sydney, australia and new zealand. other were received[when?] into the greek orthodox church of antioch by bishop gibran (ramlawi) and metropolitan archbishop paul (saliba), of the orthodox archdiocese of australia, new zealand, and all oceania. saliba has needed] received around 30 western rite parishes in the philippines. some western rite parishes are also a part of the oriental orthodox needed] the syrian patriarchate of antioch consecrated antonioancisco xavier alvares as archbishop of ceylon, goa and india in 1889, authorizing a roman rite diocese under his supervision. additionally, in 1891 the syrians consecrated as archbishop for the american old catholics. currentatus in the russian orthodox church outside russia [ edit ] on july 10, 2013, the recognition andatus of western rite parishes within seemed to significantly change. the synod of bishops of , presided over by its first hierarch, decreed] rocor would no longer ordain clergy for western rite parishes. would no longer ordain clergy for western rite parishes. bishop jerome shaw of manhattan would be censured for unapproved services and forcibly retired without the right to perform. some performed by shaw would not be recognized, and those candidates would be thoroughly examined before regularization. a commission would examine how to integrate western rite clergy and communities into the russian orthodox church. western rite clergy and communities need to adopt the order of divine services of the eastern orthodox church, but may preserve "certain of the western rite". adherence to the rules and traditions of the russian orthodox church in particular is required. however, despite the fact that the russian orthodox church outside of russia never officially reversed this decision, new western rite parishes and monasteries continue to be founded by and priests within the western rite continue to be ordained as of 2018, including in sweden and the united] orthodox church in america [ edit ] mention of the western rite was often made in the , the most prominent being a mention during a speech by the primate of the , metropolitan jonah paffhausen, in april] on september 8, 2018, the orthodox church of america established a western rite mission parish inerta,] [26] however, the has not yet officially established an organizationalructure for future western rite parishes. liturgy [

the 1996 second and 2005 third editions of the received official sanctionom metropolitan philip saliba, with the latter containing explicit reference to the authorized nature of all previous editions of the.[37] in addition to duplicating the contents of the orthodox missal, the also includes forms for and vespers, the benediction of the blessed sacrament, and the threefold amen common to the byzantine but absent in the orthodox missal. the was produced by the archdiocese without the participation of the .[38] the orthodox missal is an official publication of the and is the'sandard and approved text with the authorized by the archdiocese as an approved text. parishes within the are permitted to use either the liturgy of saint or that of saint gregory. while most parishes use theite liturgy, several use the gregorian liturgy on weekdays or on specific sundays of the year. presently, there is no specifically designed for the orthodox western rite, though priests of the who celebrate the liturgy of saint gregory are expected to pray as much of the as] in the anglican.[39][40] the same hours, in english or latin, are approved for christ the savior monastery under the . however, priests who celebrate the liturgy of saint pray a form of morning prayer and approved by the . also in common use within the , though not officially approved, are. plainsong] the english office] and the. ambrose] the. plainsong psalter sets the psalter and selected to gregorian and british chant and includes orders for morning prayer,, and. the english office noted includes morning, and evening prayers, and the psalter set in modern notation. the. ambrose hymnal provides musical settings of classic western hymns as well as and modern hymns which are judged "not to contradict the orthodox faith." within , the saint colman prayer book has been authorized by metropolitan kapral for use within the diocese of sydney, australia and new zealand. it has since received permission in other dioceses. the book includes the sarum rite, english rite, and gregorian rite, together with a simplified version of the monastic hours. most of the occasional services required by a parish priest through the course of the year are there, as well as the rites of holy week and a lectionary. in september 2008, kapral blessed the sarum rite series published by. needed] originally under the auspices of the holy synod of milan and edited by aidan] for liturgical use.[discuss] the holy synod of milan also published approximately 30 volumes of texts of needed] they contain complete forms for celebration of the liturgy or mass, the divine office, the mysteries or sacraments, and many other services, with full chant notation. in december 2008, the. gregory's press edition was also blessed for actual usage; these contains full forms, with complete chant notation, for the celebration of the liturgy or mass and of the divine office, i.e., the canonical hours. church calendar [ edit ] among those western rite parishes that are within the eastern orthodox church, some use the eastern orthodox liturgical calendar with the byzantine paschal cycle, while others use other calendars. the communion of the western orthodox churches uses the gregorian calendar to determine the dates of the holy days and pascha, while each member church has its own liturgical calendar. the lectionary, gothicum, gallicum, and the adaptations of the are the chief authorities for the liturgical year of the rite. the western rite parishes of the autonomous orthodox of north and south america and the british isles follow the julian calendar. vestments [ edit ] priests of the western rite utilizeandard western vestments as a part of their liturgy, whether celebrating one of the western or (as far ass are concerned) when a byzantine liturgy, with some exceptions (see criticisms below). byzantine rite orthodox priests who western rite wear byzantineyle vestments and wear byzantine vestments when participating in western. clergy using the sarum or english use the vestments commonly known as sarum but which were actually used throughout europe and the british isles. these are typified by apparels' of the seasonal colour, added to the and for priest, deacon, subdeacon, clerk and servers in certain groups, although there is no evidence this was done before the thirteenth century. organizations [ edit ] unlike the 23 sui eastern catholic churches, which are autonomous ritual churches with separate hierarchies and canon laws, western rite orthodox congregations of the jurisdiction fall under the jurisdiction of their local orthodox bishop. in north america, the church has established the and the western rite commission to coordinate the activities of western rite congregations and to provide a single point of contact for persons and groups concerning western rite orthodoxy. however, all the western rite congregations remain under the direct supervision of their normal diocesan bishop, with bishop basil (essey) of wichita being the of reference" and advocate for western rite issues within the synod of bishops. in the , as of november 2009, all western rite orthodox congregations and monastic houses fall under the jurisdiction of the metropolitan. the olds have two hierarchies which consider themselves western jurisdictions and therefore have no liaison, citing the canonical responsibility of bishops to their local territories, opting to simply treat all parishes of western and eastern rite equally. of these, the larger western rite organization is the autonomous orthodox of north and south america and the british isles, with the presiding hierarch, metropolitan john lobue of new york and new jersey, the only orthodox bishop in north america who regularly employs western usage in his monastery. publishing houses [ edit ] the official publishing arm of the is. luke's priory press inanton, new jersey. among their publications are the orthodox missal, the official service book of the ; the orthodox ritual, the official source for the administration of all the sacraments in the; and the annual kalendar. they also publish several apologetic works concerning the western rite. lancelot press is the publishing arm of the fellowship of saint dunstan and publishes material which is utilized by congregations and individuals in western rites. the primary mission of lancelot press is to publish material for the "advancement of historic christian orthodoxy, as expressed by the liturgical and devotional usages of traditional english] among their publications are the monastic diurnal and. plainsong psalter. while not official publishing houses, monastery,, and. john press have published copies of for use by western rite congregations.. john press distributes former. press publications (see "organizations" above) blessed for use, including orthodox prayers of old england (omnibus service book), the holy psalter (core of the divine office), old sarum rite missal, the companion (epistle and gospel book), chant (a kyriale), and westminster (a book of blessings), in all some pages of approved texts, with chant. this body of work includes several apologetic works concerning western rites and orthodoxy in general. the most voluminous texts of the western rite in english, however, have been produced by olds: recently pages of text of the western monastic psalter in traditional english were placed online foree download and] devotional societies [ edit ] there are also devotional societies within the : the orthodox christian society of our lady of dedicated to encouragement of devotion to the theotokos, particularly under the title of our lady of (and the preservation of the replica of the shrine of). [47] the fellowship of saint dunstan dedicated to historic christian orthodoxy particularly traditional english christianity. parishes and missions [ edit ] parishes and missions belonging to the western rite can be found in a number of orthodox jurisdictions. the single largest group of such communities is to be found within the orthodox church ofance,[48] followed by jurisdictions of the eastern orthodox] and the communion of western orthodox] there are also parishes and missions belonging to the old] while certain member churches of the oriental orthodox church have embraced western

so first year ofsanta. i did the international option, thinking you know, why not? the retrieval day came, and i waited for my santa to pull up my information. they didn't. a few days later, i checked my email and saw something fromsanta, addressed "you have a new message!". i thought it was the person i was gifting to. fear not, it wasn't, it was the person who got me. yay! basically, my notes were bland, i said i'm a techy guy who loves electronics and apple. my person and said, i can't send that stuff, a little out of my price range. i was completely fine, i mean it is their choice and also it's my first time doing this so i might as well get used to what happens! we exchanged messages for a few days and then came the "your item shipped" email. my santa had and said i'm sending you american food, and a home made gift. i was like okay, something different, i'm from australia and never really had much american food (i've only been twice - but never got to taste much!) so i kept checking my tracking everyday, it got to the point where it just stopped in chicago. i saw nothing since. just "arrived at facility" chicago, il. i thought okay, i will wait. few days passed, saw no update. got worried. maybe customs thought of something else? so i rang. boy, their automated service sucks. australia's post here, you get ahold of someone without doing much (although it does take longer to get ahold of them). i did track item blah blah spoke out my tracking - "sorry that isn't trackable." so i said customer service "no you cannot do this". hung up, on twitter, a rep back a few minutes later and said hang tight. so, today, i was sitting at home. mum said there's a parcel coming for her, okay. the contractor came to the door had 2 big boxes and a small one. i was like, okay one is for me (the small box) "nope there's two for you". i knew it was my secret santa. (the tracking still by the way says chicago - nothing about delivered.) eager to open. i got into it. when i opened everything was bubble wrapped. a few food items and something home made. thank you santa, even though i only know your real name and not your name, thank you! i'll be eating it all over christmas, well the food that is. here's everything in pictures. the homemade gift, rather peculiar, i don't mind at all! i'll (hopefully) do this again next year!	soʊ fərst jɪr əv redditsanta. aɪ dɪd ðə ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl ˈɔpʃən, ˈθɪŋkɪŋ ju noʊ, waɪ nɑt? ðə rɪˈtrivəl deɪ keɪm, ənd aɪ ˈweɪtɪd fər maɪ ˈsænə tɪ pʊl əp maɪ ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən. ðeɪ ˈdɪdənt. ə fju deɪz ˈleɪtər, aɪ ʧɛkt maɪ iˈmeɪl ənd sɔ ˈsəmθɪŋ frəm redditsanta, əˈdrɛst "ju hæv ə nu ˈmɛsɪʤ!". aɪ θɔt ɪt wɑz ðə ˈpərsən aɪ wɑz ˈgɪftɪŋ tɪ. fɪr nɑt, ɪt ˈwəzənt, ɪt wɑz ðə ˈpərsən hu gɑt mi. jeɪ! ˈbeɪsɪkli, maɪ noʊts wər blænd, aɪ sɛd əm ə ˈtɛʧi gaɪ hu ləvz ˌɪˌlɛkˈtrɑnɪks ənd ˈæpəl. maɪ ˈpərsən ənd sɛd, aɪ kænt sɛnd ðət stəf, ə ˈlɪtəl aʊt əv maɪ praɪs reɪnʤ. aɪ wɑz kəmˈplitli faɪn, aɪ min ɪt ɪz ðɛr ʧɔɪs ənd ˈɔlsoʊ ɪts maɪ fərst taɪm duɪŋ ðɪs soʊ aɪ maɪt ɛz wɛl gɪt juzd tɪ wət ˈhæpənz! wi ɪksˈʧeɪnʤd ˈmɛsɪʤɪz fər ə fju deɪz ənd ðɛn keɪm ðə "jʊr ˈaɪtəm ʃɪpt" iˈmeɪl. maɪ ˈsænə hæd ənd sɛd əm ˈsɛndɪŋ ju əˈmɛrɪkən fud, ənd ə hoʊm meɪd gɪft. aɪ wɑz laɪk ˌoʊˈkeɪ, ˈsəmθɪŋ ˈdɪfərənt, əm frəm ɔˈstreɪljə ənd ˈnɛvər ˈrɪli hæd məʧ əˈmɛrɪkən fud (aɪv ˈoʊnli bɪn twaɪs bət ˈnɛvər gɑt tɪ teɪst məʧ!) soʊ aɪ kɛpt ˈʧɛkɪŋ maɪ ˈtrækɪŋ ˈɛvriˈdeɪ, ɪt gɑt tɪ ðə pɔɪnt wɛr ɪt ʤɪst stɑpt ɪn ʃəˈkɑˌgoʊ. aɪ sɔ ˈnəθɪŋ sɪns. ʤɪst "əraɪvd æt fəˈsɪlɪti" ʃəˈkɑˌgoʊ, ɪl. aɪ θɔt ˌoʊˈkeɪ, aɪ wɪl weɪt. fju deɪz pæst, sɔ noʊ ˈəpˌdeɪt. gɑt ˈwərid. ˈmeɪbi ˈkəstəmz θɔt əv ˈsəmθɪŋ ɛls? soʊ aɪ ræŋ. bɔɪ, ðɛr ˈɔtəˌmeɪtɪd ˈsərvɪs səks. ɔˈstreɪljəz poʊst hir, ju gɪt əˈhoʊld əv ˈsəmˌwən wɪˈθaʊt duɪŋ məʧ (ˌɔlˈðoʊ ɪt dɪz teɪk ˈlɔŋgər tɪ gɪt əˈhoʊld əv ðɛm). aɪ dɪd træk ˈaɪtəm blɑ blɑ spoʊk aʊt maɪ ˈtrækɪŋ "ˈsɑri ðət ˈɪzənt trackable*." soʊ aɪ sɛd ˈkəstəmər ˈsərvɪs "noʊ ju ˈkænɑt du ðɪs". həŋ əp, ɔn tˈwɪtər, ə rɛpriˈzɛtətɪv bæk ə fju ˈmɪnəts ˈleɪtər ənd sɛd hæŋ taɪt. soʊ, təˈdeɪ, aɪ wɑz ˈsɪtɪŋ æt hoʊm. məm sɛd ðɛrz ə ˈpɑrsəl ˈkəmɪŋ fər hər, ˌoʊˈkeɪ. ðə ˈkɑnˌtræktər keɪm tɪ ðə dɔr hæd 2 bɪg ˈbɑksɪz ənd ə smɔl wən. aɪ wɑz laɪk, ˌoʊˈkeɪ wən ɪz fər mi (ðə smɔl bɑks) "noʊp ðɛrz tu fər ju". aɪ nu ɪt wɑz maɪ ˈsikrɪt ˈsænə.

researchers in germany and the czech republic have improved the clarity of atomic force microscopy (afm) to probe the distribution of charges within atoms and molecules. the new ability could help in the design of solar cells, by the generation of charge carriers and how they hop to and from electrodes. normal relies on the dynamics of a tiny oscillating, which is scanned over a surface under study. by monitoring the resonant frequency of the, a scientist can determine, with nanometer resolution, the shape and makeup of any surface features. a variant of is kelvin probe force spectroscopy (kpfs), in which the tip applies a bias voltage to a surface. by varying the voltage, a researcher can measure that local work function that is, the strength with which the surface holds on to electrons. might also be precise enough to map the distribution of charges within molecules, but this would require the tip to be brought very close to a sample where the influence of other chemical forces is uncertain. now group at the university of regensburg, together with colleagues at the institute of physics of the czech academy of sciences, has determined exactly what these influences are, and how to overcome them. they studied two molecules that exhibited various charge distributions within chemical bonds, mercury (f 12 c 18 3 ) and its counterpart (h 12 c 18 3 ). as the researchers performed closer and closer to the molecules, they found that the apparent charge distribution in the bonds was distorted by chemical attractions between certain atoms and the tip. the way around this, the team found, is to measure the force on the as a function of proximity for two different bias voltages. that way, it was possible to cancel out any unwanted contributions from chemical forces. physicist leo gross, who develops and other types of microscopy at the research laboratory in zurich, switzerland, calls the result a ‘great achievement’. ‘probably this technique will be applied and further refined in the future,’ he says. repp believes one of the first applications of the refined could be organic solar cells. ‘relatively little is known about some things, like where exactly the charges are generated, or how they hop from one molecule to another or to the electrodes,’ he says. ‘there, [our technique] could really help to watch charges on very local scales.’	ˈrisərʧərz ɪn ˈʤərməni ənd ðə ʧɛk riˈpəblɪk hæv ˌɪmˈpruvd ðə ˈklɛrɪti əv əˈtɑmɪk fɔrs maɪˈkrəskəpi (afm) tɪ proʊb ðə ˌdɪstrəˈbjuʃən əv ˈʧɑrʤɪz wɪˈθɪn ˈætəmz ənd ˈmɑləˌkjulz. ðə nu əˈbɪləˌti kʊd hɛlp ɪn ðə dɪˈzaɪn əv ˈsoʊlər sɛlz, baɪ ðə ˌʤɛnərˈeɪʃən əv ʧɑrʤ ˈkɛriərz ənd haʊ ðeɪ hɑp tɪ ənd frəm ˌɪˈlɛktroʊdz. ˈnɔrməl rɪˈlaɪz ɔn ðə daɪˈnæmɪks əv ə ˈtaɪni ˈɑsəˌleɪtɪŋ, wɪʧ ɪz skænd ˈoʊvər ə ˈsərfəs ˈəndər ˈstədi. baɪ ˈmɑnətərɪŋ ðə ˈrɛzənənt ˈfrikwənsi əv ðə, ə ˈsaɪəntɪst kən dɪˈtərmən, wɪθ ˈnænoʊˌmitər ˌrɛzəˈluʃən, ðə ʃeɪp ənd ˈmeɪˌkəp əv ˈɛni ˈsərfəs ˈfiʧərz. ə ˈvɛriənt əv ɪz ˈkɛlvɪn proʊb fɔrs spɛkˈtrɑskəpi (kpfs), ɪn wɪʧ ðə tɪp əˈplaɪz ə baɪəs ˈvoʊltɪʤ tɪ ə ˈsərfəs. baɪ ˈvɛriɪŋ ðə ˈvoʊltɪʤ, ə ˈrisərʧər kən ˈmɛʒər ðət ˈloʊkəl wərk ˈfəŋkʃən ðət ɪz, ðə strɛŋθ wɪθ wɪʧ ðə ˈsərfəs hoʊldz ɔn tɪ ˌɪˈlɛktrɑnz. maɪt ˈɔlsoʊ bi prɪˈsaɪs ɪˈnəf tɪ mæp ðə ˌdɪstrəˈbjuʃən əv ˈʧɑrʤɪz wɪˈθɪn ˈmɑləˌkjulz, bət ðɪs wʊd ˌrikˈwaɪər ðə tɪp tɪ bi brɔt ˈvɛri kloʊz tɪ ə ˈsæmpəl wɛr ðə ˈɪnfluəns əv ˈəðər ˈkɛmɪkəl ˈfɔrsɪz ɪz ənˈsərtən. naʊ grup æt ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti əv ˈrigənzbərg, təˈgɛðər wɪθ ˈkɑligz æt ðə ˈɪnstɪˌtut əv ˈfɪzɪks əv ðə ʧɛk əˈkædəmi əv ˈsaɪənsɪz, həz dɪˈtərmənd ɪgˈzæktli wət ðiz ˈɪnˌfluənsɪz ər, ənd haʊ tɪ ˈoʊvərˌkəm ðɛm. ðeɪ ˈstədid tu ˈmɑləˌkjulz ðət ɪgˈzɪbətəd ˈvɛriəs ʧɑrʤ ˌdɪstrəˈbjuʃənz wɪˈθɪn ˈkɛmɪkəl bɑndz, ˈmərkjəri (ɛf 12 si 18 3 ənd ɪts ˈkaʊntərˌpɑrt (eɪʧ 12 si 18 3 ɛz ðə ˈrisərʧərz pərˈfɔrmd ˈkloʊzər ənd ˈkloʊzər tɪ ðə ˈmɑləˌkjulz, ðeɪ faʊnd ðət ðə əˈpɛrənt ʧɑrʤ ˌdɪstrəˈbjuʃən ɪn ðə bɑndz wɑz dɪˈstɔrtɪd baɪ ˈkɛmɪkəl əˈtrækʃənz bɪtˈwin ˈsərtən ˈætəmz ənd ðə tɪp. ðə weɪ əraʊnd ðɪs, ðə tim faʊnd, ɪz tɪ ˈmɛʒər ðə fɔrs ɔn ðə ɛz ə ˈfəŋkʃən əv prɑkˈsɪməti fər tu ˈdɪfərənt baɪəs ˈvoʊltɪʤɪz. ðət weɪ, ɪt wɑz ˈpɑsəbəl tɪ ˈkænsəl aʊt ˈɛni ənˈwɔntɪd ˌkɑntrəˈbjuʃənz frəm ˈkɛmɪkəl ˈfɔrsɪz. ˈfɪzɪsɪst ˈlioʊ groʊs, hu dɪˈvɛləps ənd ˈəðər taɪps əv maɪˈkrəskəpi æt ðə ˈrisərʧ ˈlæbrəˌtɔri ɪn ˈzʊrɪk, sˈwɪtsərlənd, kɔlz ðə rɪˈzəlt ə achievement’’. ðɪs tɛkˈnik wɪl bi əˈplaɪd ənd ˈfərðər rɪˈfaɪnd ɪn ðə future,’,’ hi sɪz. rɛp bɪˈlivz wən əv ðə fərst ˌæpləˈkeɪʃənz əv ðə rɪˈfaɪnd kʊd bi ɔrˈgænɪk ˈsoʊlər sɛlz. ˈlɪtəl ɪz noʊn əˈbaʊt səm θɪŋz, laɪk wɛr ɪgˈzæktli ðə ˈʧɑrʤɪz ər ˈʤɛnərˌeɪtɪd, ər haʊ ðeɪ hɑp frəm wən ˈmɑləˌkjul tɪ əˈnəðər ər tɪ ðə electrodes,’,’ hi sɪz. ‘‘there, [ɑr tɛkˈnik] kʊd ˈrɪli hɛlp tɪ wɔʧ ˈʧɑrʤɪz ɔn ˈvɛri ˈloʊkəl scales.’*.’
the two individuals believed to be responsible for the boston marathon bombings on monday have been positively identified as, now deceased, and dzhokhar, now in custody. these individuals are brothers and residents of massachusetts. was a legal permanent resident and dzhokhar is a naturalized u.s. citizen. charges have not yet been filed against dzhokhar, and he is presumed innocent. tamerlan, age 26, was previously designated as suspect 1, wearing a black hat. dzhokhar a., age 19, was designated as suspect 2, wearing a white hat. both were born in kyrgyzstan. once the fbi learned the identities of the two brothers today, the fbi reviewed its records and determined that in early 2011, a foreign government asked the fbi for information about. the request stated that it was based on information that he was a follower of radical islam and a strong believer, and that he had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the united states for travel to the region to join unspecified underground groups. in response to this 2011 request, the fbi checked u.s. government databases and other information to look for such things as derogatory telephone communications, possible use of online sites associated with the promotion of radical activity, associations with other persons of interest, travel history and plans, and education history. the fbi also interviewed and family members. the fbi did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign, and those results were provided to the foreign government in the summer of 2011. the fbi requested but did not receive more specific or additional information from the foreign government. updates on investigation	ðə tu ˌɪndəˈvɪʤəwəlz bɪˈlivd tɪ bi riˈspɑnsəbəl fər ðə ˈbɔstən ˈmɛrəˌθɑn ˈbɑmɪŋz ɔn ˈmənˌdeɪ hæv bɪn ˈpɑzətɪvli aɪˈdɛntəˌfaɪd ɛz, naʊ dɪˈsist, ənd ˌʤoʊˈkɑr, naʊ ɪn ˈkəstədi. ðiz ˌɪndəˈvɪʤəwəlz ər ˈbrəðərz ənd ˈrɛzɪdənts əv ˌmæsəˈʧusəts. wɑz ə ˈligəl ˈpərmɑˌnɛnt ˈrɛzɪdənt ənd ˌʤoʊˈkɑr ɪz ə ˈnæʧərəˌlaɪzd juz. ˈsɪtɪzən. ˈʧɑrʤɪz hæv nɑt jɛt bɪn faɪld əˈgɛnst ˌʤoʊˈkɑr, ənd hi ɪz prɪˈzumd ˈɪnəsənt., eɪʤ 26 wɑz ˈpriviəsli ˈdɛzɪgˌneɪtɪd ɛz ˈsəˌspɛkt 1 ˈwɛrɪŋ ə blæk hæt. ˌʤoʊˈkɑr ə., eɪʤ 19 wɑz ˈdɛzɪgˌneɪtɪd ɛz ˈsəˌspɛkt 2 ˈwɛrɪŋ ə waɪt hæt. boʊθ wər bɔrn ɪn ˌkɪrˈgiˌstɑn. wəns ðə ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ ˈlərnɪd ðə aɪˈdɛntɪˌtiz əv ðə tu ˈbrəðərz təˈdeɪ, ðə ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ rivˈjud ɪts ˈrɛkərdz ənd dɪˈtərmənd ðət ɪn ˈərli 2011 ə ˈfɔrən ˈgəvərnmənt æst ðə ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ fər ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən əˈbaʊt. ðə rɪkˈwɛst ˈsteɪtɪd ðət ɪt wɑz beɪst ɔn ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən ðət hi wɑz ə ˈfɑloʊər əv ˈrædɪkəl ˌɪsˈlɑm ənd ə strɔŋ bɪˈlivər, ənd ðət hi hæd ʧeɪnʤd ˈdræstɪkli sɪns 2010 ɛz hi priˈpɛrd tɪ liv ðə juˈnaɪtɪd steɪts fər ˈtrævəl tɪ ðə ˈriʤən tɪ ʤɔɪn ənˈspɛsəˌfaɪd ˈəndərˌgraʊnd grups. ɪn rɪˈspɑns tɪ ðɪs 2011 rɪkˈwɛst, ðə ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ ʧɛkt juz. ˈgəvərnmənt ˈdætəˌbeɪsɪz ənd ˈəðər ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən tɪ lʊk fər səʧ θɪŋz ɛz dərˈɑgəˌtɔri ˈtɛləˌfoʊn kəmˌjunəˈkeɪʃənz, ˈpɑsəbəl juz əv ˈɔnˌlaɪn saɪts əˈsoʊʃiˌeɪtəd wɪθ ðə pərˈmoʊʃən əv ˈrædɪkəl ækˈtɪvɪti, əˌsoʊʃiˈeɪʃənz wɪθ ˈəðər ˈpərsənz əv ˈɪntəˌrɛst, ˈtrævəl ˈhɪstəri ənd plænz, ənd ˌɛʤəˈkeɪʃən ˈhɪstəri. ðə ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ ˈɔlsoʊ ˈɪntərvˌjud ənd ˈfæməli ˈmɛmbərz. ðə ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ dɪd nɑt faɪnd ˈɛni ˈtɛrəˌrɪzəm ækˈtɪvɪti, dəˈmɛstɪk ər ˈfɔrən, ənd ðoʊz rɪˈzəlts wər prəˈvaɪdɪd tɪ ðə ˈfɔrən ˈgəvərnmənt ɪn ðə ˈsəmər əv 2011 ðə ˈɛfˈbiˈaɪ rɪkˈwɛstɪd bət dɪd nɑt rɪˈsiv mɔr spɪˈsɪfɪk ər əˈdɪʃənəl ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən frəm ðə ˈfɔrən ˈgəvərnmənt. ˈəpˌdeɪts ɔn ˌɪnˌvɛstəˈgeɪʃən
photo by bruce photo via usa today sports (editor's note: welcome to sean grab bag, where he writes on a variety of topics. you can follow him on twitter.) three stars of comedy (phil kessel stanley cup edition) yes, we're going this week, as the lovable everyman's stanley cup win continues to inspire the hockey world that you can achieve your dreams without doing sit-ups. the third star: this showed up at the penguins' parade with copy of the kessel team usa headshot. and not just a thing is professionally framed. the second star: mike formerer has some thoughts on how kessel should celebrate his day with the cup, which were definitely and later deleted. so we'll have to make do with this: congrats to phil kessel. the media just gives it to him for no other reason than he looks like a fat math teacher. dude can play though. mike commodore 15, 2016 the first star: nick bonino and carl is pretty much the perfect phil kessel ideal moment, since it involves an adoring crowd, the stanley cup, and him standing in front of a microphone without having to say anything. outrage of the week the issue: on his fox sports 1 radio show, colin cowherd suggested that hockey should no longer be considered a "big four" sport in the united states, having been replaced by soccer. the outrage: that sounds like he's criticizing hockey. get him! is it justified: no. cowherd is right. in fact, nothing he said was even all that controversial. greg has a detailed breakdown of the host's argument and laid out some possible hockey world responses here, but the short summary is that (for once) cowherd is bang on. of course soccer is a bigger sport in the u.s. if anything, we're probably years late in recognizing that. i'm not sure you could really argue against it at this point. read more: why sidney crosby is this generation's wayne gretzky and here's where you're probably expecting a repeat of last week's rant, in which i dumped all over the gary bettman and the for the consistently meager tv ratings that fans have just come to accept with a shrug. but the reality is that this one can't be pinned on bettman and friends. soccer has long been the world's most popular sport, and as that world became more connected it was natural that the game's presence would expand in north america. the increased success of america's men's and women's national teams plays a role. so do demographics. so do increased media options. even players are turning to soccer. photo by aaron today sports and, yes, so does the decline in the quality of the product. that trend, while obviously a subjective one, has been called out by fans and media for years. it's been a big part of the reason that the sport has been fading into the background of the american sports landscape, a fact borne out by this year's lackluster ratings. the and its leaders have a long list of things to be embarrassed about. the low ratings are one. becoming synonymous with work stoppages is another. so is the utter failure to properly market stars. so are two decades of laughable inaction around plunging scoring rates. so is the tendency to take the rare wins the league can earn and then beat them into the ground. so is signing a us tv deal right before a broadcast rights bubble sent rights fees through the roof, and making it long enough that it won't expire until after that bubble has likely burst. but being passed in popularity by soccer? there's no shame in that. there's just too much working in soccer's favor to make this shift anything other than inevitable, no matter what the league had done. there's so much to be frustrated about in today's that hockey fans need to pick their battles. being less popular than the world's most popular sport isn't one we should worry about. obscure former player of the week wednesday was a weird day in the. in pittsburgh, you had a stanley cup parade, with thousands of fans lining up to cheer on the game's greatest achievement. and at the same time in detroit, there was gordie howe's funeral, with the hockey world saying its final goodbye to the game's greatest player. it was a contrast between joy and sadness, and between the celebration of a single moment and the long history that leads us there. i'm not sure you can reconcile that, or that you should even want to try. but for this week's obscure player, let's look at a player who crossed paths with both sides of wednesday's coin. he's a stanley cup winner with the penguins, and he also played alongside howe in the final season. he's journeyman gordie roberts. roberts was a pick by the in 1977 after having already played two years with the whalers in the wha. his chances of ever cracking the lineup in that montreal dynasty were slim, and he never did, eventually ending up back with the whalers when they joined the in 1979. that allowed him to be part of howe's and final season, suiting up alongside the legend he had literally been named after. roberts was dealt to the north stars early in the following season, where he'd spend nearly eight years before stopovers in philadelphia and st. louis. the blues dealt him to the penguins on the eve of the season for an pick. he'd go on to provide a physical veteran presence on the penguins' blueline, helping them win cups in 1991 and 1992. roberts would head to free agency after that second cup, signing with boston for the final two years of his career. that added ray bourque and cam neely to the roster of teammates he played with over the years, a list that also includes mario lemieux, paul coffey, jaromir jagr, brett and bobby hull, dave and howe, among others. all told, roberts played games, becoming the first american to hit the milestone and earning a spot in the united states hockey hall of fame. be it resolved the is here, and we've already seen some weird moves. on wednesday, the blackhawks gave away just to get rid of bryan terrible contract. yesterday, the hurricanes pending cam ward to a contract even though he hasn't been good for years. they even gave him a clause! in both cases, the moves were criticized. but it felt... muted. as if something wasn't quite right. hockey fans love to complain, and complaining about moves is just about the best kind of complaining there is. but this week, everything somehow felt off. i was ready to chalk it up to all a little bit out of practice after the long postseason. but then i read this tweet, and i felt a chill go down my spine: prediction: every bad contract signed this will be rationalized by that team's as expansion draft protection derek 16, 2016 my god, he's right. that's exactly what's happening. next year's expansion draft will be the first in 17 years, and the first ever in the salary cap era. it's thrown a wrinkle into every team's plans, as they're left with one year to maneuver into position to protect as much value as possible. and there's no blueprint on how to accomplish is kind of swimming in the dark here. and that's been great. are such timid babies these days that anything that introduces a little uncertainty is a good thing. so fans were pumped for the expansion wrangling, and the chaos it could bring. but we missed the one terrible side effect: all of this also gives a free card on their questionable moves, since they can just point to the expansion draft and mumble something about long-term strategy. and fans will buy it, because we don't know what's going on, either. when your favorite team signs cam ward to a contract with a ntc. photo by christopher today sports this is unacceptable, and it must be stopped. seriously, here's how i planned to spend my summer: 15 percent with a beer in my hand, 10 percent playing catch with my kids, 75 percent reacting to every minor transaction by rushing to twitter to randomly point to one or more teams and type "lol, so dumb." and, if i'm being honest, those first two numbers may have been high. an expansion draft exception will ruin everything. we need to stamp this out right now. let's all agree that we can still make fun of every decision that teams make, and only give them credit for thinking ahead to expansion in future years, when we applaud them for making the same moves that we ripped at the time. it's the hockey fan's way. classic youtube clip breakdown the's annual awards show will be held next week in las vegas. the show is one of the sport's great guilty pleasures, one that's somehow survived over the years even as the fun has drained out of almost everything else the increasingly league does. awkward speeches, painfully bad banter, musical acts that you're not sure you've ever heard of... i love everything about the show, and i hope we never lose it. this year's edition will be hosted by will arnett, which means it should be good. but i think it's safe to say that it will not be anywhere as good as the 1995 version. this beautiful clip was initially unearthed a year ago, when it briefly made the rounds. but did anyone back then break it down frame-by-frame? no, because they're busy people who don't have the time. luckily, i do. yes, the awards used to be broadcast from toronto, and yes, they used to be shown on espn. yes, that seems weird now. trust me, it's the least weird thing about the video you're about to watch. we start off with a guy in a penguins jersey catching a puck out of the air and then randomly flinging it away. which is cool, because i didn't even know marc bergevin did choreography. so much grunting. let's just start by pointing out the obvious: this is a highly choreographed number featuring dozens of presumably professional dancers, and the undisputed highlight is going to be the guy in the background in the leafs jersey who just kind of sways around and claps. i desperately want to know what that guy's deal is. like, the actual leafs dancer called in sick and they had to just grab a guy from the production crew, right? "hey goalie, can you pass the test, add your name to the vezina fest?" oh neat, they let glenn anderson write this song. the penguins guy just became the first person wearing a hockey jersey to do a triple horizontal spin while bouncing on one arm and kicking both legs in the air, unless you count dominik hasek on every routine save he ever made. i think it's kind of annoying how the people in american team jerseys are in the spotlight while all the canadian teams just kind of stand in the background and watch. oh wait, i'm sorry, that line was meant for next week's column, "a look back at the 2016 playoffs." a buffalo sabres dancer and a dallas star dancer execute a combo slide move. do you think the sabres guy was always arguing over exactly where their feet should be while the stars guy told him not to worry because nobody would care? as per worldwide un bylaws in 1995, the song will now be interrupted by everyone yelling "go! go! go!" for a while. the dancer in the sharks jersey is in the middle of every number but never gets a solo in the spotlight, which in hindsight turns out to be the best metaphor for san jose sharks history i've ever seen. now the dancer in the pittsburgh jersey is trying to do his job even though somebody else has jumped onto his back and is hanging there with all four limbs wrapped around his torso. or, as mario lemieux called it, "every shift of my career." let's just address the elephant in the room: i'm honestly not sure where this ranks compared to the 1988 intro featuring alan. i feel like second row guy and the ghost still puts over the top, but i could be swayed. oh, by the way, the lyrics are describing the various awards. "a gentleman just doing his thing / takes home the lady byng." "best goals against takes the jennings home / the selke, best forward in a defensive role." "get a lot of playoff points, the conn smythe we'll be feedin' ya / unless you have a history of being awkward with the media." ok, i may have made one of those up. honestly, i think awkward blues guy might be giving awkward leafs guy a run for his money here. the big finale comes when all the dancers tear off their jerseys to reveal a devils sweater underneath, and break out a replica stanley cup. our clip then cuts out, presumably because we don't want to watch the dancers have to awkwardly explain what the big silver trophy is to confused toronto fans. epilogue: the devils dancers then proceeded to teach everyone the neutral zone trap, and dancing hasn't been entertaining again for two decades.	ˈfoʊˌtoʊ baɪ brus ˈfoʊˌtoʊ ˈviə ˈjuˈɛˈseɪ təˈdeɪ spɔrts (ˈɛdɪtərz noʊt: ˈwɛlkəm tɪ ʃɔn græb bæg, wɛr hi raɪts ɔn ə vərˈaɪəti əv ˈtɑpɪks. ju kən ˈfɑloʊ ɪm ɔn tˈwɪtər.) θri stɑrz əv ˈkɑmədi (fɪl ˈkɛsəl ˈstænli kəp ɪˈdɪʃən) jɛs, wɪr goʊɪŋ ðɪs wik, ɛz ðə ˈləvəbəl ˈɛvrimənz ˈstænli kəp wɪn kənˈtɪnjuz tɪ ˌɪnˈspaɪr ðə ˈhɑki wərld ðət ju kən əˈʧiv jʊr drimz wɪˈθaʊt duɪŋ sit-ups. ðə θərd stɑr: ðɪs ʃoʊd əp æt ðə ˈpɛŋgwənz' pəreɪd wɪθ ˈkɑpi əv ðə ˈkɛsəl tim ˈjuˈɛˈseɪ headshot. ənd nɑt ʤɪst ə θɪŋ ɪz prəˈfɛʃənəli freɪmd. ðə ˈsɛkənd stɑr: maɪk ˈfɔrmər həz səm θɔts ɔn haʊ ˈkɛsəl ʃʊd ˈsɛləˌbreɪt hɪz deɪ wɪθ ðə kəp, wɪʧ wər ˈdɛfənətli ənd ˈleɪtər dɪˈlitəd. soʊ wɪl hæv tɪ meɪk du wɪθ ðɪs: kənˈgræts tɪ fɪl ˈkɛsəl. ðə ˈmidiə ʤɪst gɪvz ɪt tɪ ɪm fər noʊ ˈəðər ˈrizən ðən hi lʊks laɪk ə fæt mæθ ˈtiʧər. dud kən pleɪ ðoʊ. maɪk ˈkɑməˌdɔr 15 2016 ðə fərst stɑr: nɪk boʊˈninoʊ ənd kɑrl ɪz ˈprɪti məʧ ðə ˈpərˌfɪkt fɪl ˈkɛsəl aɪˈdil ˈmoʊmənt, sɪns ɪt ˌɪnˈvɑlvz ən əˈdɔrɪŋ kraʊd, ðə ˈstænli kəp, ənd ɪm ˈstændɪŋ ɪn frənt əv ə ˈmaɪkrəˌfoʊn wɪˈθaʊt ˈhævɪŋ tɪ seɪ ˈɛniˌθɪŋ. ˈaʊˌtreɪʤ əv ðə wik ðə ˈɪʃu: ɔn hɪz fɑks spɔrts 1 ˈreɪdiˌoʊ ʃoʊ, ˈkoʊlɪn ˈkaʊˌhərd səˈʤɛstɪd ðət ˈhɑki ʃʊd noʊ ˈlɔŋgər bi kənˈsɪdərd ə "bɪg fɔr" spɔrt ɪn ðə juˈnaɪtɪd steɪts, ˈhævɪŋ bɪn ˌriˈpleɪst baɪ ˈsɑkər. ðə ˈaʊˌtreɪʤ: ðət saʊnz laɪk hiz ˈkrɪtɪˌsaɪzɪŋ ˈhɑki. gɪt ɪm!

los angeles something rare quickly becomes valuable. so it should come as no surprise that the latest target of thieves in a state suffering a historic drought is water. california thieves are cutting pipes and taking water from fire hydrants, storage tanks, creeks and rivers to get their hands on several hundred gallons of the precious commodity. they drive in the thick of night with a tank on the back of a pickup and go after the liquid gold wherever they can find it. some have hit the same target twice in one night, filling up their tank, unloading it into storage and returning for a second fill-up. counties, mostly in the more rural northern parts of california, are reporting a surge in thefts and illegal diversions of water from wells and streams. the prime suspects are illegal marijuana farmers desperate for water before the fall harvest, which would explain the surge in water thievery over the summer. “a lot of the wells have gone dry, and the marijuana growers have run out of water and have been illegally taking the water out of the creeks,” said hank weston, supervisor in nevada county, an old mining area in the foothills of the sierra nevada in northeast. (the county has been around longer than the state of nevada next door.) “they have broken into a school district holding tank and in the fire holding tank,” weston said. “some of the water trucks are pulling up near rivers and dropping water hoses in and it out.” all of which is illegal, of course, but does not usually amount to much more than fines and a misdemeanor at least for now. weston has lived in nevada county since 1988. despite a series of severe droughts in the past 30 years, he said, “it’s the first time heard of this.” ‘a lot of the wells have gone dry, and the marijuana growers have run out of water and have been illegally taking the water out of the creeks.’ hank weston supervisor, nevada county this water rustling wave evokes the wild west and the adage that whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting an unconfirmed quote widely attributed to mark twain. in 2014 the fight to catch the water thieves is on. local law enforcement and state agencies have set up hotlines for water theft reporting and illegal water diversions. schools that have been hit have installed security cameras. fire stations have put locks on water valves. the state water resources control board has received $1.4 million this year from the legislature for a pilot cannabis enforcement program to crack down on illegal tapping of water sources. the board is working with california fish and wildlife and regional water control agencies in charge of enforcing water quality to crack down on those who take water they have no right to take. “for many water rights violations, it might be a $1,000 a day penalty or even as low as $500,” said chris carrigan, the top water cop. “but for water quality, fines are $5,000 to $10,000 a day.” the biggest deterrent has been a neighborhood watch campaign of sorts that asks residents to be on the lookout. carrigan advises anyone who sees a thief in action to “take a photograph. photograph the license plate number.” some of those doing the stealing are companies that sell water to homeowners with dry wells. ads that say “i will deliver water to your property” are quickly flagged, carrigan said. his enforcement division calls the number, sets up a delivery and often catches the in action. “people have been caught, and people have been cited,” said carre brown, mendocino county supervisor and chairwoman of a drought task force. mendocino, on north coast, is a hotbed of illegal marijuana grows. “i would say the main culprits were the ones who were looking to water marijuana gardens,” she said. “the penalties in california are not harsh enough.” at a construction site for a highway 101 bypass, some water poachers tried to get into the line used by construction crews. some tried to masquerade as fire crews to get at water kept at cal fire camps. ‘for many water rights violations, it might be a $1,000 a day penalty or even as low as $500. but for water quality, fines are $5,000 to $10,000 a day.’ chris carrigan top water cop	lɔs ˈænʤəlɪs ˈsəmθɪŋ rɛr kˈwɪkli bɪˈkəmz ˈvæljəbəl. soʊ ɪt ʃʊd kəm ɛz noʊ səˈpraɪz ðət ðə ˈleɪtəst ˈtərgət əv θivz ɪn ə steɪt ˈsəfərɪŋ ə hɪˈstɔrɪk draʊt ɪz ˈwɔtər. ˌkæləˈfɔrnjə θivz ər ˈkətɪŋ paɪps ənd ˈteɪkɪŋ ˈwɔtər frəm faɪər ˈhaɪdrənts, ˈstɔrɪʤ tæŋks, kriks ənd ˈrɪvərz tɪ gɪt ðɛr hænz ɔn ˈsɛvərəl ˈhənərd ˈgælənz əv ðə ˈprɛʃəs kəˈmɑdəti. ðeɪ draɪv ɪn ðə θɪk əv naɪt wɪθ ə tæŋk ɔn ðə bæk əv ə ˈpɪˌkəp ənd goʊ ˈæftər ðə ˈlɪkwɪd goʊld wɛˈrɛvər ðeɪ kən faɪnd ɪt. səm hæv hɪt ðə seɪm ˈtərgət twaɪs ɪn wən naɪt, ˈfɪlɪŋ əp ðɛr tæŋk, ənˈloʊdɪŋ ɪt ˈɪntu ˈstɔrɪʤ ənd rɪˈtərnɪŋ fər ə ˈsɛkənd fill-up. ˈkaʊntiz, ˈmoʊstli ɪn ðə mɔr ˈrʊrəl ˈnɔrðərn pɑrts əv ˌkæləˈfɔrnjə, ər rɪˈpɔrtɪŋ ə sərʤ ɪn θɛfts ənd ˌɪˈligəl dɪˈvərʒənz əv ˈwɔtər frəm wɛlz ənd strimz. ðə praɪm ˈsəˌspɛkts ər ˌɪˈligəl ˌmɛrəˈwɑnə ˈfɑrmərz ˈdɛspərɪt fər ˈwɔtər ˌbiˈfɔr ðə fɔl ˈhɑrvəst, wɪʧ wʊd ɪkˈspleɪn ðə sərʤ ɪn ˈwɔtər ˈθivəri ˈoʊvər ðə ˈsəmər. lɔt əv ðə wɛlz hæv gɔn draɪ, ənd ðə ˌmɛrəˈwɑnə groʊərz hæv rən aʊt əv ˈwɔtər ənd hæv bɪn ˌɪˈligəli ˈteɪkɪŋ ðə ˈwɔtər aʊt əv ðə creeks,”,” sɛd hæŋk ˈwɛstən, ˈsupərˌvaɪzər ɪn nəˈvɑdə ˈkaʊnti, ən oʊld ˈmaɪnɪŋ ˈɛriə ɪn ðə ˈfʊˌthɪlz əv ðə siˈɛrə nəˈvɑdə ɪn ˌnɔrˈθist.

don't forget to like blood red patriots on facebook, google plus, & twitter. anyone with half a brain can read the second amendment, and clearly articulate its intent. not a complicated law. not buried in legalese that is to the average person. once you understand the original meaning of the words when they were written, and the wider context of the bill of rights, its meaning is obvious. the second amendment protects an individuals right to own and use firearms, which is a meaning that has been upheld by the supreme court. so always somewhat surprising to learn that there are so many states with laws that disregard the second amendment. baffling that taken so long to strike down these unconstitutional rules. in michigan for instance, there is a law that effectively prevents adults from exercising their second amendment rights if they want to foster a child. a resident of the state recently filed a lawsuit against the michigan department of health and human services, because they allow him to foster his own grandchild unless he submitted to their demands. caseworkers from and a county judge told william johnson of ontonagon, mich., that he had to choose between his second amendment rights and fostering his grandson, according to a with the united states district court for the western district of michigan. the johnson is a retired, disabled marine with a michigan concealed pistol license. he and his wife were asked by the state of michigan to foster their grandson. according to suit, however, the issues began as soon as he arrived at to pick up the child. johnson said he was searched for a firearm and, although he was not carrying a gun, officials demanded to see his concealed carry license. he was then told he would need to give the serial numbers of all of his firearms, including rifles and shotguns, and register them with the agency. after questioning why he would have to register his firearms in order to foster his grandson, johnson said he was told by one caseworker, “if you want to care for your grandson you will have to give up some of your constitutional rights.” when he objected, he was told there would not be a “power struggle” and “would just take his grandson and place him in a foster home” if he comply with their requests. two weeks later, during a hearing on placement of the child, johnson said a county court judge similarly told him, “if you want to care for your grandson you will have to give up some of your constitutional rights.” can you believe that? how is it possible that in a supposedly free country, a judge can tell someone who committed a crime to give up their constitutional rights, just so they can take care of their own grandchildren? how does a government official actually say that with a straight face? but more to the point, how exactly does michigan prevent foster parents from exercising their right to bear arms? it turns out that by law, they have to register their firearms with the state, and store them unloaded in locked safe, separated from ammunition. they can keep firearms, but they sure bear them. hopefully, this lawsuit will put an end to this blatant disregard for the civil rights of law abiding citizens in michigan. article posted with permission from	doʊnt fərˈgɛt tɪ laɪk bləd rɛd ˈpeɪtriəts ɔn ˈfeɪsˌbʊk, ˈgugəl pləs, tˈwɪtər. ˈɛniˌwən wɪθ hæf ə breɪn kən rɛd ðə ˈsɛkənd əˈmɛndmənt, ənd ˈklɪrli ɑrˈtɪkjəˌleɪt ɪts ˌɪnˈtɛnt. nɑt ə ˈkɑmpləˌkeɪtəd lɔ. nɑt ˈbɛrid ɪn ˈlɛgəˌlis ðət ɪz tɪ ðə ˈævərɪʤ ˈpərsən. wəns ju ˌəndərˈstænd ðə ərˈɪʤənəl ˈminɪŋ əv ðə wərdz wɪn ðeɪ wər ˈrɪtən, ənd ðə ˈwaɪdər ˈkɑntɛkst əv ðə bɪl əv raɪts, ɪts ˈminɪŋ ɪz ˈɑbviəs. ðə ˈsɛkənd əˈmɛndmənt prəˈtɛkts ən ˌɪndəˈvɪʤəwəlz raɪt tɪ oʊn ənd juz ˈfaɪˌrɑrmz, wɪʧ ɪz ə ˈminɪŋ ðət həz bɪn əˈphɛld baɪ ðə səˈprim kɔrt. soʊ ˈɔlˌweɪz ˈsəmˈwət səˈpraɪzɪŋ tɪ lərn ðət ðɛr ər soʊ ˈmɛni steɪts wɪθ lɔz ðət ˌdɪsrɪˈgɑrd ðə ˈsɛkənd əˈmɛndmənt. ˈbæfəlɪŋ ðət ˈteɪkən soʊ lɔŋ tɪ straɪk daʊn ðiz ˌənˌkɑnstəˈtuʃənəl rulz. ɪn ˈmɪʃɪgən fər ˈɪnstəns, ðɛr ɪz ə lɔ ðət ˈifɛktɪvli prɪˈvɛnts ˈædəlts frəm ˈɛksərˌsaɪzɪŋ ðɛr ˈsɛkənd əˈmɛndmənt raɪts ɪf ðeɪ wɔnt tɪ ˈfɑstər ə ʧaɪld. ə ˈrɛzɪdənt əv ðə steɪt ˈrisəntli faɪld ə ˈlɔˌsut əˈgɛnst ðə ˈmɪʃɪgən dɪˈpɑrtmənt əv hɛlθ ənd ˈjumən ˈsərvɪsɪz, bɪˈkəz ðeɪ əˈlaʊ ɪm tɪ ˈfɑstər hɪz oʊn ˈgrænˌʧaɪld ənˈlɛs hi səbˈmɪtəd tɪ ðɛr dɪˈmændz. ˈkeɪsˌwərkərz frəm ənd ə ˈkaʊnti ʤəʤ toʊld ˈwɪljəm ˈʤɑnsən əv ontonagon, mɪʧ., ðət hi hæd tɪ ʧuz bɪtˈwin hɪz ˈsɛkənd əˈmɛndmənt raɪts ənd ˈfɑstərɪŋ hɪz ˈgrændˌsən, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ə wɪθ ðə juˈnaɪtɪd steɪts ˈdɪstrɪkt kɔrt fər ðə ˈwɛstərn ˈdɪstrɪkt əv ˈmɪʃɪgən. ðə ˈʤɑnsən ɪz ə rɪˈtaɪrd, dɪˈseɪbəld mərˈin wɪθ ə ˈmɪʃɪgən kənˈsild ˈpɪstəl ˈlaɪsəns. hi ənd hɪz waɪf wər æst baɪ ðə steɪt əv ˈmɪʃɪgən tɪ ˈfɑstər ðɛr ˈgrændˌsən. əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ sut, ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ðə ˈɪʃuz bɪˈgæn ɛz sun ɛz hi əraɪvd æt tɪ pɪk əp ðə ʧaɪld. ˈʤɑnsən sɛd hi wɑz sərʧt fər ə ˈfaɪˌrɑrm ənd, ˌɔlˈðoʊ hi wɑz nɑt ˈkɛriɪŋ ə gən, əˈfɪʃəlz dɪˈmændɪd tɪ si hɪz kənˈsild ˈkɛri ˈlaɪsəns. hi wɑz ðɛn toʊld hi wʊd nid tɪ gɪv ðə ˈsɪˌriəl ˈnəmbərz əv ɔl əv hɪz ˈfaɪˌrɑrmz, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ˈraɪfəlz ənd ˈʃɑtˌgənz, ənd ˈrɛʤɪstər ðɛm wɪθ ðə ˈeɪʤənsi. ˈæftər kˈwɛsʧənɪŋ waɪ hi wʊd hæv tɪ ˈrɛʤɪstər hɪz ˈfaɪˌrɑrmz ɪn ˈɔrdər tɪ ˈfɑstər hɪz ˈgrændˌsən, ˈʤɑnsən sɛd hi wɑz toʊld baɪ wən ˈkeɪsˌwərkər, ju wɔnt tɪ kɛr fər jʊr ˈgrændˌsən ju wɪl hæv tɪ gɪv əp səm əv jʊr ˌkɑnstəˈtuʃənəl rights.”.” wɪn hi əˈbʤɛktəd, hi wɑz toʊld ðɛr wʊd nɑt bi ə struggle”” ənd ʤɪst teɪk hɪz ˈgrændˌsən ənd pleɪs ɪm ɪn ə ˈfɑstər home”” ɪf hi kəmˈplaɪ wɪθ ðɛr rɪkˈwɛsts. tu wiks ˈleɪtər, ˈdʊrɪŋ ə ˈhirɪŋ ɔn ˈpleɪsmənt əv ðə ʧaɪld, ˈʤɑnsən sɛd ə ˈkaʊnti kɔrt ʤəʤ ˈsɪmələrli toʊld ɪm, ju wɔnt tɪ kɛr fər jʊr ˈgrændˌsən ju wɪl hæv tɪ gɪv əp səm əv jʊr ˌkɑnstəˈtuʃənəl rights.”*.” kən ju bɪˈliv ðət?

please enable javascript to watch this video kansas city -- kansas city missouri police have a bizarre case on their hands. a man who was reportedly high on fell out of a moving car. he then got run over but was able to get up. the accident led to a child abduction attempt and landed the man in the hospital. the accident happened around 2 p.m. on saturday near & blue ridge cutoff. witnesses tell fox 4 that a lot of people stopped to help the man who appeared to be seriously hurt. the man then got up and tried to open the doors of one of the cars that tried to help him. when he opened the back door, he tried to take a baby who was inside a car seat. the parents say they kept yelling at him and pulling the car seat so he couldn't take the baby. that's when other people who had stopped stepped in to help. "he was just trying to grab her out of the backseat and i got out and grabbed him and told him let go of my daughter and he wouldn't let go," said parent matthew nicotra. according to friends, the man involved in this abduction attempt is actually a victim himself. he lost his daughter about a month ago. they believe he saw the little girl and it reminded him of his daughter. they also say they don't think he was trying to hurt the baby. as of now, the suspect is in an area hospital pending charges including attempted child abduction.	pliz ɪˈneɪbəl ˈʤɑvəˌskrɪpt tɪ wɔʧ ðɪs ˈvɪdioʊ ˈkænzəs ˈsɪti ˈkænzəs ˈsɪti məˈzʊri pəˈlis hæv ə bɪˈzɑr keɪs ɔn ðɛr hænz. ə mæn hu wɑz rɪˈpɔrtədli haɪ ɔn fɛl aʊt əv ə ˈmuvɪŋ kɑr. hi ðɛn gɑt rən ˈoʊvər bət wɑz ˈeɪbəl tɪ gɪt əp. ðə ˈæksədənt lɛd tɪ ə ʧaɪld əbˈdəkʃən əˈtɛmpt ənd ˈlændɪd ðə mæn ɪn ðə ˈhɑˌspɪtəl. ðə ˈæksədənt ˈhæpənd əraʊnd 2 p.m*. ɔn ˈsæˌtɪˌdeɪ nɪr blu rɪʤ ˈkəˌtɔf. ˈwɪtnəsɪz tɛl fɑks 4 ðət ə lɔt əv ˈpipəl stɑpt tɪ hɛlp ðə mæn hu əˈpɪrd tɪ bi ˈsɪriəsli hərt. ðə mæn ðɛn gɑt əp ənd traɪd tɪ ˈoʊpən ðə dɔrz əv wən əv ðə kɑz ðət traɪd tɪ hɛlp ɪm. wɪn hi ˈoʊpənd ðə bæk dɔr, hi traɪd tɪ teɪk ə ˈbeɪbi hu wɑz ˌɪnˈsaɪd ə kɑr sit. ðə ˈpɛrənts seɪ ðeɪ kɛpt ˈjɛlɪŋ æt ɪm ənd ˈpʊlɪŋ ðə kɑr sit soʊ hi ˈkʊdənt teɪk ðə ˈbeɪbi. ðæts wɪn ˈəðər ˈpipəl hu hæd stɑpt stɛpt ɪn tɪ hɛlp.

metaclasses in five minutes it ain't such black magic really "metaclasses are deeper magic than 99% of users should ever worry about. if you wonder whether you need them, you don't." —tim peters note there is a video of me giving this as a presentation at 2009, 11 minutes into this video: lightning talks at 2009 originally a lightning talk first given at 2008. metaclasses have a reputation for being 'deep-black-magic' in python. the cases where you need them are genuinely rare (unless you program with zope...), but the basic principles are surprisingly easy to understand. everything is an object everything is an object everything has a type no real difference between 'class' and 'type' classes are objects their type is type typically the term type is used for the built-in types and the term class for classes. since python there has been no real difference and 'class' and 'type' are synonyms. for classic (old-style) classes, their type is . honestly, it's true python .1 ( : 54869 , 18 2007 , 22 : 0 8 : 04 ) >> > class something ( object ) : . . . pass . . . >> > something < class '__main__.something' > >> > type ( something ) < type 'type' > here we can see that a class created at the interactive interpreter is a first class object. the class of a class is... its... just as an object is an instance of its class; a class is an instance of its. the is called to create the class. in exactly the same way as any other object in python. so when you create a class... the interpreter calls the to create it... for a normal class that inherits from object this means that type is called to create the class: >>> help(type) help on class type in module __builtin__: class type(object) \| type(object) -> the type \| type(name, bases, dict) -> a new type it is this second usage of type that is important. when the python interpreter executes a class statement (like in the example with the interactive interpreter from a couple of sections back), it calls type with the following arguments: the name of the class as a string a of base classes - for our example this is the 'one-pl' (object,) a dictionary containing members of the class (class attributes, methods, etc) mapped by their names easy to demonstrate >> > __init__ ( self ) : . . . self . message = 'hello world' . . . >> > ( self ) : . . . print self . message . . . >> > = { '__init__' : __init__ , 'say_hello' : } >> > bases = ( object , ) >> > hello = type ( 'hello' , bases , ) >> > hello < class '__main__.hello' > >> > h = hello ( ) >> > h . ( ) hello world this code creates a dictionary of class attributes, and then calls type to create a class called hello . the magic of __metaclass__ we can provide a custom by setting __metaclass__ in a classinition to any callable that takes the same arguments as type. the normal way to do this is to inherit from type : class ( type ) : def __new__ ( meta , name , bases , ) : return type . __new__ ( meta , name , bases , ) the important thing is that inside the body of the __new__ method we have access to the arguments passed to create the new class. we can introspect the dictionary of attributes and modify, add or remove members. it is important to override __new__ rather than __init__ . when you instantiate a class both __init__ and __new__ are called. __init__ an instance - but __new__ is responsible for creating it. so if our is going to class creation we need to override __new__ on type . the reason to use a new type rather than just a factory function is that if you use a factory function (that just calls type) then the won't be inherited. in action... >> > class ( object ) : . . . __metaclass__ = . . . >> > < class '__main__.whizzbang' > >> > type ( ) < class '__main__.pointlessmetaclass' > is a class, but instead of being an instance of type the class object is now an instance of our custom... what can we do with this? well (i'm glad you asked)... our will be called whenever a new class is created that uses it. here are some ideas: decorate all methods in a class for logging, or profiling. automatically new methods. register classes as they are created. or create a schema from class members for example.) provide interface registration, of features and interface adaptation. class verification: prevent subclassing, verify all methods have docstrings. the important things is that the class is only actually created by the final call to type in the - so you are free to modify the dictionary of attributes as you see fit (and the name plus the of base classes of course). several of the popular python (object relational for working with databases) use in these ways. oh, and because are inherited so you can provide a that uses your and inherit it without explicitly having to declare it.	metaclasses* ɪn faɪv ˈmɪnəts ɪt eɪnt səʧ blæk ˈmæʤɪk ˈrɪli ər ˈdipər ˈmæʤɪk ðən 99 əv ˈjuzərz ʃʊd ˈɛvər ˈwəri əˈbaʊt. ɪf ju ˈwəndər ˈwɛðər ju nid ðɛm, ju doʊnt." ˈpitərz noʊt ðɛr ɪz ə ˈvɪdioʊ əv mi ˈgɪvɪŋ ðɪs ɛz ə ˌprɛzənˈteɪʃən æt 2009 11 ˈmɪnəts ˈɪntu ðɪs ˈvɪdioʊ: ˈlaɪtnɪŋ tɔks æt 2009 ərˈɪʤənəli ə ˈlaɪtnɪŋ tɔk fərst ˈgɪvɪn æt 2008 hæv ə ˌrɛpjəˈteɪʃən fər biɪŋ 'deep-black-magic' ɪn ˈpaɪθɑn. ðə ˈkeɪsɪz wɛr ju nid ðɛm ər ˈʤɛnjuˌaɪnli rɛr (ənˈlɛs ju ˈproʊˌgræm wɪθ zope...), bət ðə ˈbeɪsɪk ˈprɪnsəpəlz ər səˈpraɪzɪŋli ˈizi tɪ ˌəndərˈstænd. ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ ɪz ən ˈɑbʤɛkt ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ ɪz ən ˈɑbʤɛkt ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ həz ə taɪp noʊ ril ˈdɪfərəns bɪtˈwin 'klæs' ənd 'taɪp' ˈklæsɪz ər ˈɑbʤɛkts ðɛr taɪp ɪz taɪp ˈtɪpɪkəli ðə tərm taɪp ɪz juzd fər ðə ˈbɪlˌtɪn taɪps ənd ðə tərm klæs fər ˈklæsɪz. sɪns ˈpaɪθɑn ðɛr həz bɪn noʊ ril ˈdɪfərəns ənd 'klæs' ənd 'taɪp' ər synonyms. fər ˈklæsɪk (old-style) ˈklæsɪz, ðɛr taɪp ɪz ˈɑnəstli, ɪts tru ˈpaɪθɑn 1 54869 18 2007 22 0 8 04 klæs ˈsəmθɪŋ ˈɑbʤɛkt pæs ˈsəmθɪŋ klæs '__main__.something' taɪp ˈsəmθɪŋ taɪp 'taɪp' hir wi kən si ðət ə klæs kriˈeɪtɪd æt ðə ˌɪnərˈæktɪv ˌɪnˈtərprətər ɪz ə fərst klæs ˈɑbʤɛkt. ðə klæs əv ə klæs ɪz... ɪts... ʤɪst ɛz ən ˈɑbʤɛkt ɪz ən ˈɪnstəns əv ɪts klæs; ə klæs ɪz ən ˈɪnstəns əv ɪts. ðə ɪz kɔld tɪ kriˈeɪt ðə klæs. ɪn ɪgˈzæktli ðə seɪm weɪ ɛz ˈɛni ˈəðər ˈɑbʤɛkt ɪn ˈpaɪθɑn. soʊ wɪn ju kriˈeɪt ə klæs... ðə ˌɪnˈtərprətər kɔlz ðə tɪ kriˈeɪt ɪt... fər ə ˈnɔrməl klæs ðət ˌɪnˈhɛrəts frəm ˈɑbʤɛkt ðɪs minz ðət taɪp ɪz kɔld tɪ kriˈeɪt ðə klæs: help(type) hɛlp ɔn klæs taɪp ɪn ˈmɑʤul __ˈbɪlˌtɪn__: klæs type(object) type(object) ðə taɪp type(name, ˈbeɪsɪz, dict) ə nu taɪp ɪt ɪz ðɪs ˈsɛkənd ˈjusɪʤ əv taɪp ðət ɪz ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt. wɪn ðə ˈpaɪθɑn ˌɪnˈtərprətər ˈɛksəˌkjuts ə klæs ˈsteɪtmənt (laɪk ɪn ðə ɪgˈzæmpəl wɪθ ðə ˌɪnərˈæktɪv ˌɪnˈtərprətər frəm ə ˈkəpəl əv ˈsɛkʃənz bæk), ɪt kɔlz taɪp wɪθ ðə ˈfɑloʊɪŋ ˈɑrgjəmənts: ðə neɪm əv ðə klæs ɛz ə strɪŋ ə əv beɪs ˈklæsɪz fər ɑr ɪgˈzæmpəl ðɪs ɪz ðə 'one-pl' (ˈɑbʤɛkt,) ə ˈdɪkʃəˌnɛri kənˈteɪnɪŋ ˈmɛmbərz əv ðə klæs (klæs əˈtrɪˌbjuts, ˈmɛθədz, ˌɛtˈsɛtərə) mæpt baɪ ðɛr neɪmz ˈizi tɪ ˈdɛmənˌstreɪt __init__ sɛlf sɛlf ˈmɛsɪʤ 'hɛˈloʊ wərld' sɛlf prɪnt sɛlf ˈmɛsɪʤ '__init__' __init__ 'say_hello' ˈbeɪsɪz ˈɑbʤɛkt hɛˈloʊ taɪp 'hɛˈloʊ' ˈbeɪsɪz hɛˈloʊ klæs '__main__.hello' eɪʧ hɛˈloʊ eɪʧ hɛˈloʊ wərld ðɪs koʊd kriˈeɪts ə ˈdɪkʃəˌnɛri əv klæs əˈtrɪˌbjuts, ənd ðɛn kɔlz taɪp tɪ kriˈeɪt ə klæs kɔld hɛˈloʊ ðə ˈmæʤɪk əv __metaclass__ wi kən prəˈvaɪd ə ˈkəstəm baɪ ˈsɛtɪŋ __metaclass__ ɪn ə klæs ˌdɛfəˈnɪʃən tɪ ˈɛni ˈkɔləbəl ðət teɪks ðə seɪm ˈɑrgjəmənts ɛz taɪp. ðə ˈnɔrməl weɪ tɪ du ðɪs ɪz tɪ ˌɪnˈhɛrət frəm taɪp klæs taɪp __nu__ ˈmitə neɪm ˈbeɪsɪz rɪˈtərn taɪp __nu__ ˈmitə neɪm ˈbeɪsɪz ðə ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt θɪŋ ɪz ðət ˌɪnˈsaɪd ðə ˈbɑdi əv ðə __nu__ ˈmɛθəd wi hæv ˈækˌsɛs tɪ ðə ˈɑrgjəmənts pæst tɪ kriˈeɪt ðə nu klæs. wi kən ˈɪntrəˌspɛkt ðə ˈdɪkʃəˌnɛri əv əˈtrɪˌbjuts ənd ˈmɑdəˌfaɪ, æd ər riˈmuv ˈmɛmbərz. ɪt ɪz ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt tɪ ˈoʊvərˌraɪd __nu__ ˈrəðər ðən __init__ wɪn ju ˌɪnˈstænʃiˌeɪt ə klæs boʊθ __init__ ənd __nu__ ər kɔld. __init__ ən ˈɪnstəns bət __nu__ ɪz riˈspɑnsəbəl fər kriˈeɪtɪŋ ɪt. soʊ ɪf ɑr ɪz goʊɪŋ tɪ klæs kriˈeɪʃən wi nid tɪ ˈoʊvərˌraɪd __nu__ ɔn taɪp ðə ˈrizən tɪ juz ə nu taɪp ˈrəðər ðən ʤɪst ə ˈfæktəri ˈfəŋkʃən ɪz ðət ɪf ju juz ə ˈfæktəri ˈfəŋkʃən (ðət ʤɪst kɔlz taɪp) ðɛn ðə woʊnt bi ˌɪnˈhɛrətɪd. ɪn ˈækʃən... klæs ˈɑbʤɛkt __metaclass__ klæs '__main__.whizzbang' taɪp klæs '__main__.pointlessmetaclass' ɪz ə klæs, bət ˌɪnˈstɛd əv biɪŋ ən ˈɪnstəns əv taɪp ðə klæs ˈɑbʤɛkt ɪz naʊ ən ˈɪnstəns əv ɑr ˈkəstəm... wət kən wi du wɪθ ðɪs?

3d-cqu system, providence region. on the of april at eve standard time, providence bloc and spectre fleet forces collided in the system in a battle that saw a surprising turn of events. the spectre fleet force, estimated at 107 pilots in omen navy issue cruisers, formed a scheduled fleet in order to roam the providence region and provoke a fight from its inhabitants. after scouring the region for a while, skirmishing with a few fleets but overall not getting the fight its commanders wanted, the force reached the main staging system of providence bloc,, where it settled on the gate, camping it in order to provoke a response. providence bloc obliged, and formed a mixed armor fleet comprised of battleships, strategic cruisers and heavy assault cruisers. all told the fleet had approximately 70 pilots, including 2 triage carriers held in reserve. the fleet did not engage spectre fleet head on over the gate, instead choosing to set up in the adjacent system, anchoring up on the gate. spectre fleet allowed the providence bloc force to set up before warping to the gate, jumping in and engaging the providence bloc fleet, starting the battle proper. with spectre fleet forces jumping in, providence bloc quickly jumped its two triage carriers to the field and opened fire. spectre fleet swiftly anchored up, and decided to engage providence bloc at close range, the two fleets tangling up as the battle became a close quarters brawl. from the start providence bloc was having troubles. spectre fleet was able to destroy a few of its logistics cruisers in the opening volleys, before switching off and concentrating on support battleships instead, whose energy and proved dangerous to the omen navy issue cruisers. even with the triage carriers on the field, providence bloc was unable to tank the incoming damage, and the heavy beam laser batteries of spectre fleet cut a bloody swathe across the enemy fleet. returning fire, providence bloc was able to inflict damage on the intruders, but was trading terribly, losing mainline ships for each one of the enemy it downed. as the battle progressed, this trade only became more and more one sided as losses mounted on the providence bloc side, allowing spectre fleet to tank the incoming damage with ease and only losing fragile support ships in the ordeal. realizing it had enough firepower on the field to ignore providence logistics wing in its entirety, the spectre fleet force settled into a comfortable pace, concentrating first on battleships and heavy assault cruisers before hitting the much tougher strategic cruisers. at a rapid rate, providence mainline ships caved in to the onslaught, the ranks dwindling fast before only the logistics wing with its two carriers remained. having broken the providence bloc fleet, spectre fleet forces easily dispatched the remaining ships, leaving the two carriers for last. once the two capitals were felled by the combined might of the omen navy issue cruiser fleet it departed the region, extracting safely and putting an end to the fighting. battle report for the system can be found here. all told the battle lasted 17 minutes, with time dilation not reported and the system estimated to hold 230 pilots at the height of the fighting. spectre fleet forces suffered light casualties, losing 13 ships including 6 cruisers for a total of million damage. in contrast, providence bloc lost the majority of its fleet, losing 50 ships including 2 carriers, 8 battleships, 6 heavy assault cruisers and 15 strategic cruisers for a total of billion damage. salivan is a member of reikoku, pandemic legion, and covers battles across new eden	3d-cqu* ˈsɪstəm, ˈprɑvədəns ˈriʤən. ɔn ðə əv ˈeɪprəl æt iv ˈstændərd taɪm, ˈprɑvədəns blɑk ənd ˈspɛktər flit

the guardian express has come across some very valuable information for all americans, and all people on the planet as well. we have published several press releases in recent days from an organization called the one public trust, or for short. this group of people, trustees of the public wealth, were tired of things in the financial world structure being considered status quo, and used a filing to foreclose on the people, businesses, and governments currently running the day-to-day financial goings on all over the world, evidently taking back what is rightfully the wealth. now i am still trying to wrap my head around all of this information, and the information stream is considerable, and a gentleman named andy whiteley offered to help explain it to me, and to you as well. so this article that you are about to read, is the explanation of all things related to the, the foreclosure they achieved with their filing, and what that all means for all of the free people of the u.s., and the rest of the planet as well. hopefully, through this explanation, we can all have some understanding of this situation, because what has happened will change the world forever, and the way business gets done in it. please take the time to read it all, and try to absorb it all. the article will be in several installments. sam davis >>>>>>many of you have heard, and many have not. announced publicly on 25 december 2012, the system of rule has been foreclosed. legally foreclosed… via one of its own mechanisms. the “powers that be” are now the “powers that were”. all debt has been erased and corporations including but not limited to corporate governments and banks have been foreclosed. sure, they may continue to play along in hopes we will play along with them. but thanks to a series of (uniform commercial code) filings made by the one public trust (known as) the choice is now yours to make. a new framework for social governance is now in effect; a fact that has been ratified by the ‘legal’ framework of its predecessor. systemically speaking… we are free! one public trust the conclusion of legal actions taken by the have generated a lot of excitement. and rightly so! the potential for positive change it creates is momentus! but before we get into the implications like to present to you the “what happened” and “how” of the situation. corporate-controlled government and media refuse to announce their own demise for obvious reasons. so, as informed global citizens, i believe our role is to understand what happened and how, so that we can inform others, and finally start the process of worldwide change all been waiting for. but first, a reality check before i go on, allow me to state a few facts up front. 1) governments corporations. the corporate government phenomenon is not only demonstrated by the way “governments” behave as beneficiaries (not as trustees) of the government trust, but the also proves it! the united states, canada, australia, the united kingdom, france, italy, brazil, japan, south africa…. and the list goes on…. all are corporate entities, registered as such with the united states security & exchanges commission… and operating as such at our expense. “the system” is in nature, in that it is geared only to profit “the few” while the rest of us work to support it. 2) persons corporation. at birth, a birth certificate application is signed by your parents which is used by corporate government to commence a trust in your name. this trust is used as collateral, and a collateral account is created and funded in your name. you are the beneficiary of this trust… but no-one tells you it exists. if you do not complete a will by the age of 7, corporate government declares you deceased under admiralty law of all things! and you are officially considered by the system to be “lost at sea”. seriously. corporate government then assumes financial control of your estate, and they aware that most of us do in fact live beyond 7 continue to treat us as living slaves. the funds generated by your life using you as collateral are loaned to you when you apply for bank finance, mortgages etc. you are then forced to work to repay those funds plus interest back to the system. legally, you have no rights because considered “dead” by the age of 7. you lose. 3) mass media is the tool used by corporate governments to deliver propaganda directly to your home. it is used to manipulate public perceptions of corporate government actions and inactions, to reinforce social norms, limits and behaviors, and to sell you crap by creating a “need” and then providing you with a product to fulfill it. and it limited just to media; the psychology of the “old” paradigm is reinforced through educational and religious institutions as well. corporations, governments and media all tell the same lies. they are all part of the same beast. 4) as a result, the economic structure is was a mechanism of mass slavery. slavery is a system under which people are treated as property, and are forced to work. slaves are held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, or to refuse to work. sound familiar? you were born into “the system” without any say in how it works. you were raised and taught to contribute to the system. you must work exhaustive hours in the system, and you must pay taxes to the system. you must adhere to the rules of the system most of which relate to property and ownership or you will be punished by the system. by design, the system will deliver abundance only to a select few, and many others will go hungry. but if you like it, you cannot leave the system. the system “owns” everything, everyone and everywhere. until now, you had one option: play along. like living in a casino with no exit. and the house always wins.<<<<<<<<< stay tuned for more, but please, examine this content at length, and try to understand it all. up next: part 2 when were our governments corporatized? guest author andy whiteley is the of wake up world and is helping the trustees get the word out. for more information, follow these 2 links. http://oppt-in.com/ http://www.peoplestrust1776. org/ sam davis	ðə ˈgɑrdiən ɪkˈsprɛs həz kəm əˈkrɔs səm ˈvɛri ˈvæljəbəl ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən fər ɔl əˈmɛrɪkənz, ənd ɔl ˈpipəl ɔn ðə ˈplænət ɛz wɛl. wi hæv ˈpəblɪʃt ˈsɛvərəl prɛs rɪˈlisɪz ɪn ˈrisənt deɪz frəm ən ˌɔrgənəˈzeɪʃən kɔld ðə wən ˈpəblɪk trəst, ər fər ʃɔrt. ðɪs grup əv ˈpipəl, ˌtrəˈstiz əv ðə ˈpəblɪk wɛlθ, wər taɪərd əv θɪŋz ɪn ðə ˌfaɪˈnænʃəl wərld ˈstrəkʧər biɪŋ kənˈsɪdərd ˈstætəs kwoʊ, ənd juzd ə ˈfaɪlɪŋ tɪ fɔrˈkloʊz ɔn ðə ˈpipəl, ˈbɪznɪsɪz, ənd ˈgəvərnmənts ˈkərəntli ˈrənɪŋ ðə ˈdeɪtuˌdeɪ ˌfaɪˈnænʃəl goʊɪŋz ɔn ɔl ˈoʊvər ðə wərld, ˈɛvədəntli ˈteɪkɪŋ bæk wət ɪz ˈraɪtfəli ðə wɛlθ. naʊ aɪ æm stɪl traɪɪŋ tɪ ræp maɪ hɛd əraʊnd ɔl əv ðɪs ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən, ənd ðə ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən strim ɪz kənˈsɪdərəbəl, ənd ə ˈʤɛnəlmən neɪmd ˈændi ˈwaɪtli ˈɔfərd tɪ hɛlp ɪkˈspleɪn ɪt tɪ mi, ənd tɪ ju ɛz wɛl. soʊ ðɪs ˈɑrtɪkəl ðət ju ər əˈbaʊt tɪ rɛd, ɪz ðə ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən əv ɔl θɪŋz rɪˈleɪtɪd tɪ ðə, ðə fɔrˈkloʊʒər ðeɪ əˈʧivd wɪθ ðɛr ˈfaɪlɪŋ, ənd wət ðət ɔl minz fər ɔl əv ðə fri ˈpipəl əv ðə juz., ənd ðə rɛst əv ðə ˈplænət ɛz wɛl. ˈhoʊpfəli, θru ðɪs ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən, wi kən ɔl hæv səm ˌəndərˈstændɪŋ əv ðɪs ˌsɪʧuˈeɪʃən, bɪˈkəz wət həz ˈhæpənd wɪl ʧeɪnʤ ðə wərld fərˈɛvər, ənd ðə weɪ ˈbɪznɪs gɪts dən ɪn ɪt. pliz teɪk ðə taɪm tɪ rɛd ɪt ɔl, ənd traɪ tɪ əbˈzɔrb ɪt ɔl. ðə ˈɑrtɪkəl wɪl bi ɪn ˈsɛvərəl ˌɪnˈstɔlmənts. sæm ˈdeɪvɪs >>>>>>ˈmɛni əv ju hæv hərd, ənd ˈmɛni hæv nɑt. əˈnaʊnst ˈpəblɪkli ɔn 25 dɪˈsɛmbər 2012 ðə ˈsɪstəm əv rul həz bɪn fɔrˈkloʊzd. ˈligəli foreclosed…… ˈviə wən əv ɪts oʊn ˈmɛkəˌnɪzəmz. ðə ðət be”” ər naʊ ðə ðət were””. ɔl dɛt həz bɪn ɪˈreɪst ənd ˌkɔrpərˈeɪʃənz ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ bət nɑt ˈlɪmɪtɪd tɪ ˈkɔrpərət ˈgəvərnmənts ənd bæŋks hæv bɪn fɔrˈkloʊzd. ʃʊr, ðeɪ meɪ kənˈtɪnju tɪ pleɪ əˈlɔŋ ɪn hoʊps wi wɪl pleɪ əˈlɔŋ wɪθ ðɛm. bət θæŋks tɪ ə ˈsɪriz əv (ˈjunəˌfɔrm kəˈmərʃəl koʊd) ˈfaɪlɪŋz meɪd baɪ ðə wən ˈpəblɪk trəst (noʊn ɛz) ðə ʧɔɪs ɪz naʊ jʊrz tɪ meɪk. ə nu ˈfreɪmˌwərk fər ˈsoʊʃəl ˈgəvərnəns ɪz naʊ ɪn ˈifɛkt; ə fækt ðət həz bɪn ˈrætəˌfaɪd baɪ ðə ‘‘legal’’ ˈfreɪmˌwərk əv ɪts ˈprɛdəˌsɛsər. səˈstɛmɪkli speaking…… wi ər fri!

democrats in congress, under pressure from trade unions worried about the loss of manufacturing jobs from free trade, on friday turned against the president at the eleventh hour on a bill intended to pave the way for the us to the with negotiating countries. unless the congress grants mr obama so-called "trade promotion authority" (tpa), countries like australia and japan are unlikely to sign the, a pact that would cover more than 40 per cent of the world's economy and set sweeping new rules for trade, investment, intellectual property, labour and the environment. "trying to ratify the in us congress without will kill the agreement," said armstrong, a of the centre at australian national university. "the japanese side has rightly made it clear it will not conclude the bilateral negotiation or show all its cards until the president has." president obama has been hitting the phones all weekend to shore up a second attempt at a vote on the bill next tuesday. reuters the house will hold another crucial vote on tuesday in an attempt to win support for the trade legislation. minister for trade and investment andrew robb admitted the democratic "no" vote was a setback, but remained optimistic a deal could be struck. "there is always a lot of cut and thrust in these things and politics being played," mr robb said. advertisement "there is another opportunity to get the ducks lined up but second guessing the us is always difficult." "i remain hopeful the relevant legislation will ultimately pass which would provide the necessary momentum to conclude the negotiations." major countries like japan and canada are highly unlikely to sign the and drop agriculture tariffs and import restrictions, unless they have confidence mr obama can push the through congress. at the heart of the us domestic political debate is a fight between trade republicans and democrats worried about international trade sending blue collar jobs to cheaper labour countries like vietnam (see below). in an unusual alliance, mr obama has teamed up with republican rivals like paul ryan, a former us vice president candidate and chair of the house ways and means committee. unless mr obama is granted, also known as fast track, trade experts say the won't be concluded by the negotiating countries. tpa allows mr obama to a trade pact with other countries, and prevents congress changing the details of a deal, only giving lawmakers a yes or no vote on the. the house on friday tried to pass two pieces of trade legislation, after the senate approved the bill this month. advertisement the package fell apart after democratic house minority leader nancy pelosi and her colleagues reneged on approving the proposal. democrats, largely for political tactical reasons, rejected a trade adjustment package of about billion intended to compensate workers disrupted by trade. the final vote tally was. "its defeat, sad to say, is the only way that we would be able to slow down the fast track," ms pelosi said. the rebuff shocked the white house, because the measure was proposed by democrats to offset the ostensible negative impacts on local jobs in return for granting mr obama. while the part of the bill subsequently won a narrow majority of support in the house by a margin of, including 28 democrats, the vote was in effect irrelevant. tpa and trade adjustment authority for both need to both be passed together, to match identical legislation approved by the senate. mr obama on the weekend urged lawmakers to reverse their opposition. "these kinds of agreements make sure that the global economy's rules aren't written by countries like china; they're written by the united states of america," mr obama said. if the us fails to secure the with the 11 other countries, it would be a major blow to president obama's "rebalance" to asia.	ˈdɛməˌkræts ɪn ˈkɑŋgrəs, ˈəndər ˈprɛʃər frəm treɪd ˈjunjənz ˈwərid əˈbaʊt ðə lɔs əv ˌmænjəˈfækʧərɪŋ ʤɑbz frəm fri treɪd, ɔn ˈfraɪˌdeɪ tərnd əˈgɛnst ðə ˈprɛzɪdənt æt ðə ˈilɛvənθ aʊər ɔn ə bɪl ˌɪnˈtɛndɪd tɪ peɪv ðə weɪ fər ðə ˈjuˈɛs tɪ ðə wɪθ nɪˈgoʊʃiˌeɪtɪŋ ˈkəntriz. ənˈlɛs ðə ˈkɑŋgrəs grænts ˈmɪstər ˌoʊˈbɑmə ˈsoʊˈkɔld "treɪd pərˈmoʊʃən əˈθɔrəti" (tpa), ˈkəntriz laɪk ɔˈstreɪljə ənd ʤəˈpæn ər ənˈlaɪkli tɪ saɪn ðə, ə pækt ðət wʊd ˈkəvər mɔr ðən 40 pər sɛnt əv ðə wərldz ɪˈkɑnəmi ənd sɛt sˈwipɪŋ nu rulz fər treɪd, ˌɪnˈvɛstmənt, ˌɪnəˈlɛkʧuəl ˈprɑpərti, ˈleɪbər ənd ðə ɪnˈvaɪrənmənt.

bangladesh’s central bank has suggested the federal reserve bank of new york had a “major lapse" in allowing hackers to transfer $101 million in transactions that it later flagged as suspicious, according to an internal document seen by bloomberg. the document, dated march 13, sheds new light on bangladesh interpretation of a cyber heist in which hackers tried to steal nearly $1 billion last month. it outlines the strategy for recouping the stolen cash, including possible legal measures, and appear to include input from anyone outside the central bank. it also shows the new york fed and bangladesh put in place greater security measures on transfers immediately after the theft. in early february, the federal reserve bank of new york blocked 30 transactions from account valued at $850 million because of a lack of beneficiary details, according to the bangladesh bank document. however, the new york fed allowed another five transactions to go through “which they subsequently flagged for due diligence review," it says. “we view this as a major lapse on the part of ny," the document says, referring to the new york fed. bangladesh is engaging legal counsel in new york city “to establish precise grounds of initiating lawsuit claiming recompense," it says.	bangladesh’s* ˈsɛntrəl bæŋk həz səˈʤɛstɪd ðə ˈfɛdərəl rɪˈzərv bæŋk əv nu jɔrk hæd ə læps" ɪn əˈlaʊɪŋ ˈhækərz tɪ ˈtrænsfər 101 ˈmɪljən ɪn trænˈzækʃənz ðət ɪt ˈleɪtər flægd ɛz səˈspɪʃəs, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ən ˌɪnˈtərnəl ˈdɑkjəmɛnt sin baɪ ˈblumbərg. ðə ˈdɑkjəmɛnt, ˈdeɪtɪd mɑrʧ 13 ʃɛdz nu laɪt ɔn ˈbæŋləˌdɛʃ ˌɪnˌtərprɪˈteɪʃən əv ə ˈsaɪbər haɪst ɪn wɪʧ ˈhækərz traɪd tɪ stil ˈnɪrli 1 ˈbɪljən læst mənθ. ɪt ˈaʊˌtlaɪnz ðə ˈstrætəʤi fər rɪˈkupɪŋ ðə ˈstoʊlən kæʃ, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ˈpɑsəbəl ˈligəl ˈmɛʒərz, ənd əˈpɪr tɪ ˌɪnˈklud ˈɪnˌpʊt frəm ˈɛniˌwən ˈaʊtˈsaɪd ðə ˈsɛntrəl bæŋk. ɪt ˈɔlsoʊ ʃoʊz ðə nu jɔrk fɛd ənd ˈbæŋləˌdɛʃ pʊt ɪn pleɪs ˈgreɪtər sɪˈkjʊrəti ˈmɛʒərz ɔn ˈtrænsfərz ˌɪˈmiˌdiətli ˈæftər ðə θɛft. ɪn ˈərli ˈfɛbruˌɛri, ðə ˈfɛdərəl rɪˈzərv bæŋk əv nu jɔrk blɑkt 30 trænˈzækʃənz frəm əˈkaʊnt ˈvæljud æt 850 ˈmɪljən bɪˈkəz əv ə læk əv ˌbɛnəˈfɪʃiˌɛri ˈditeɪlz, əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ðə ˈbæŋləˌdɛʃ bæŋk ˈdɑkjəmɛnt. ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ðə nu jɔrk fɛd əˈlaʊd əˈnəðər faɪv trænˈzækʃənz tɪ goʊ θru ðeɪ ˈsəbsəkwəntli flægd fər du ˈdɪlɪʤəns ˌrivˈju," ɪt sɪz. vju ðɪs ɛz ə ˈmeɪʤər læps ɔn ðə pɑrt əv ny*," ðə ˈdɑkjəmɛnt sɪz, rɪˈfərɪŋ tɪ ðə nu jɔrk fɛd. ˈbæŋləˌdɛʃ ɪz ɪnˈgeɪʤɪŋ ˈligəl ˈkaʊnsəl ɪn nu jɔrk ˈsɪti ɪˈstæblɪʃ prɪˈsaɪs graʊnz əv ˌɪˈnɪʃiˌeɪtɪŋ ˈlɔˌsut ˈkleɪmɪŋ ˈrɛkəmˌpɛns," ɪt sɪz.
by duncan geere, wired move over solar, wind and wave power there's a new renewable on the block. researchers are experimenting with devices that can pull electricity from the air. for centuries, scientists have been fascinated by the idea of harnessing the power of thunderstorms. nikola tesla experimented extensively with the topic, but significant understanding of the field of atmospheric electrodynamics has until recently proved elusive. fernando, of the university of in brazil, presented a report at the national meeting of the american chemical society that detailed a future where every house has a device on its roof that pulls cheap, clean electricity out of the air. "just as solar energy could free some households from paying electric bills, this promising new energy source could have a similar effect," he said. originally, scientists believed that water droplets in the atmosphere were electrically neutral, and remained that way even after brushing up against charges on dust particles and other liquids. however, discovered in a series of lab experiments that water droplets do in fact pick up a charge. he used particles of silica and aluminum phosphate, both of which are common dust particles in the air, and found that they become increasingly charged as the amount of water vapor in the air increases. "this was clear evidence that water in the atmosphere can accumulate electrical charges and transfer them to other materials it comes into contact with," said. it could be possible to harvest this "hygroelectricity" from the air in regions that experience high humidity, such as the tropics. to this industry,'s team is already testing metals to see which might be of most use in capturing atmospheric electricity on panels. a similar approach could help to avert lightning damage, too, by placing panels on buildings to take charge out of the air in the vicinity of places that suffer regular thunderstorms. "these are fascinating ideas that new studies by ourselves and by other scientific teams suggest are now possible," said. "we certainly have a long way to go. but the benefits in the long range of harnessingity could be substantial." image: dimitrov. see also:	baɪ ˈdəŋkən geere, waɪərd muv ˈoʊvər ˈsoʊlər, wɪnd ənd weɪv paʊər ðɛrz ə nu riˈnuəbəl ɔn ðə blɑk. ˈrisərʧərz ər ɛkˈspɛrəˌmɛntɪŋ wɪθ dɪˈvaɪsɪz ðət kən pʊl ɪˌlɛkˈtrɪsəti frəm ðə ɛr. fər ˈsɛnʧəriz, ˈsaɪəntɪsts hæv bɪn ˈfæsəˌneɪtɪd baɪ ðə aɪˈdiə əv ˈhɑrnəsɪŋ ðə paʊər əv ˈθəndərˌstɔrmz. nɪˈkoʊlə ˈtɛzlə ɪkˈspɛrəməntəd ɪkˈstɛnsɪvli wɪθ ðə ˈtɑpɪk, bət sɪgˈnɪfɪkənt ˌəndərˈstændɪŋ əv ðə fild əv ˌætməsˈfɛrɪk ˌɪˌlɛktroʊˌdaɪˈnæmɪks həz ənˈtɪl ˈrisəntli pruvd ɪˈlusɪv. fərˈnɑndoʊ, əv ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti əv ɪn brəˈzɪl, pərˈzɛnəd ə rɪˈpɔrt æt ðə ˈnæʃənəl ˈmitɪŋ əv ðə əˈmɛrɪkən ˈkɛmɪkəl soʊˈsaɪɪti ðət dɪˈteɪld ə fˈjuʧər wɛr ˈɛvəri haʊs həz ə dɪˈvaɪs ɔn ɪts rʊf ðət pʊlz ʧip, klin ɪˌlɛkˈtrɪsəti aʊt əv ðə ɛr.

the u.s. is suing bank of america on behalf of fannie mae and freddie mac, with scott cohn. updated p.m. et: the united states filed a civil mortgage fraud lawsuit against bank of america, accusing it of selling thousands of toxic home loans to fannie mae and freddie mac that went into default and caused more than $1 billion of losses. wednesday's case, originally brought by a whistleblower, is the u.s. department of justice's first civil fraud lawsuit over mortgage loans sold to fannie mae or freddie mac. it also compounds the problems that the bank of america, u.s. bank, has faced since its disastrous 2008 purchase of countrywide financial corp, once the nation's largest mortgage lender. according to a complaint filed in manhattan federal court, countrywide in 2007 invented a scheme known as the "hustle" designed to speed up processing of residential home loans. operating under the motto "loans move forward, never backward," mortgage executives tried to eliminate "toll gates" designed to ensure that loans were sound and not tainted by fraud, the government said. this resulted in "defect rates" that were roughly nine times the industry norm, but countrywide concealed this from fannie mae and freddie mac, and even awarded bonuses to staff to "rebut" the problems being discovered, it added. the scheme ran through 2009 and caused "countless" foreclosures, it added. "the fraudulent conduct alleged in today's complaint was spectacularly brazen in scope," u.s. attorney in manhattan said in a statement. "this lawsuit should send another clear message that reckless lending practices will not be tolerated." bank of america did not immediately respond to requests for comment. since paying $2.5 billion for countrywide on july 1, 2008, the charlotte, north bank has lost nearly $40 billion on mortgage litigation and requests by investors to buy back soured loans, credit suisse estimated on october 5. some of these costs related to merrill lynch & co, which bank of america bought at the beginning of 2009. according to court records, the case had been filed under seal in february by edward o'donnell, a pennsylvania resident and former executive vice president at countrywide home loans who had worked there between 2003 and 2009. the united states later joined the case. it seeks triple damages under the federal false claims act, as well as civil penalties. it is unclear whether o'donnell has hired a lawyer. o'donnell could not immediately be reached for comment. federal regulators seized fannie mae and freddie mac on september 7, 2008 and put them into a conservatorship. bharara's office has in the last years brought five civil fraud lawsuits against other lenders under the false claims act over alleged reckless residential mortgage lending, involving loans insured by the federal housing administration. in february, inc settled its case for $158.3 million and flagstar bancorp inc settled for $132.8 million, while deutsche bank ag settled in may for $202.3 million. cases are pending against wells fargo & co and allied home mortgage corp, said. on monday, congressman barney frank, who chaired the house financial services committee in 2008, said bank of america should probably be shielded from government lawsuits over merrill, which it bought in part at federal officials' urging, but he said he knew of no such urging to buy countrywide. bank of america shares were up 2 cents at $9.38 in afternoon trading on the new york stock exchange. the case is u.s. ex rel. o'donnell v. bank of america corp et al, u.s, district court, southern district of new york, no.. more business news: follow business on twitter and facebook	ðə juz. ɪz suɪŋ bæŋk əv əˈmɛrɪkə ɔn bɪˈhæf əv ˈfæni meɪ ənd ˈfrɛdi mæk, wɪθ skɑt koʊn. ˈəpˌdeɪtɪd p.m. ɛt: ðə juˈnaɪtɪd steɪts faɪld ə ˈsɪvəl ˈmɔrgɪʤ frɔd ˈlɔˌsut əˈgɛnst bæŋk əv əˈmɛrɪkə, əˈkjuzɪŋ ɪt əv ˈsɛlɪŋ ˈθaʊzənz əv ˈtɑksɪk hoʊm loʊnz tɪ ˈfæni meɪ ənd ˈfrɛdi mæk ðət wɛnt ˈɪntu dɪˈfɔlt ənd kɔzd mɔr ðən 1 ˈbɪljən əv ˈlɔsɪz. ˈwɛnzˌdeɪz keɪs, ərˈɪʤənəli brɔt baɪ ə ˈwɪsəlˌbloʊər, ɪz ðə juz. dɪˈpɑrtmənt əv ˈʤəstɪsɪz fərst ˈsɪvəl frɔd ˈlɔˌsut ˈoʊvər ˈmɔrgɪʤ loʊnz soʊld tɪ ˈfæni meɪ ər ˈfrɛdi mæk. ɪt ˈɔlsoʊ ˈkɑmpaʊndz ðə ˈprɑbləmz ðət ðə bæŋk əv əˈmɛrɪkə, juz. bæŋk, həz feɪst sɪns ɪts dɪˈzæstrəs 2008 ˈpərʧəs əv ˈkəntriˌwaɪd ˌfaɪˈnænʃəl ˈkɔrpərˈeɪʃən, wəns ðə ˈneɪʃənz ˈlɑrʤəst ˈmɔrgɪʤ ˈlɛndər. əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ə kəmˈpleɪnt faɪld ɪn mænˈhætən ˈfɛdərəl kɔrt, ˈkəntriˌwaɪd ɪn 2007 ˌɪnˈvɛntɪd ə skim noʊn ɛz ðə "ˈhəsəl" dɪˈzaɪnd tɪ spid əp ˈprɑsɛsɪŋ əv ˌrɛzɪˈdɛnʃəl hoʊm loʊnz. ˈɔpərˌeɪtɪŋ ˈəndər ðə ˈmɑtoʊ "loʊnz muv ˈfɔrwərd, ˈnɛvər ˈbækwərd," ˈmɔrgɪʤ ɪgˈzɛkjətɪvz traɪd tɪ ɪˈlɪməˌneɪt "toʊl geɪts" dɪˈzaɪnd tɪ ɪnˈʃʊr ðət loʊnz wər saʊnd ənd nɑt ˈteɪntɪd baɪ frɔd, ðə ˈgəvərnmənt sɛd. ðɪs rɪˈzəltɪd ɪn "ˈdifɛkt reɪts" ðət wər ˈrəfli naɪn taɪmz ðə ˈɪndəstri nɔrm, bət ˈkəntriˌwaɪd kənˈsild ðɪs frəm ˈfæni meɪ ənd ˈfrɛdi mæk, ənd ˈivɪn əˈwɔrdɪd ˈboʊnəsɪz tɪ stæf tɪ "rɪˈbət" ðə ˈprɑbləmz biɪŋ dɪˈskəvərd, ɪt ˈædɪd. ðə skim ræn θru 2009 ənd kɔzd "ˈkaʊntləs" fɔrˈkloʊʒərz, ɪt ˈædɪd.

“we all are perhaps desperate to know what is on the other side of the veil after we die,” mr. baugher said, adding that his initial skepticism about the burpo story was short-lived. “this was a very down-to-earth, conservative, normal midwestern family. we became fully convinced that this story was valid. and also that it was a great story that would just take off.” the book was an instant hit in barnes & noble outlets and was near the top of the list on its bn.com. the religion buyer was an early advocate for the book, ordering copies for every store, said patricia bostelman, the vice president for marketing at barnes & noble. “when you buy the religion subject, you are presented with many stories about heaven, personal experiences about and the afterlife,” ms. bostelman said, noting that several other books with “heaven” in the title have sold well recently. “but what was unusual about this book was that it was the story of a little boy. it deactivated some of the cynicism that can go along with adults capitalizing on their experiences.” photo todd burpo wrote the book with lynn vincent, who collaborated with sarah palin on “going rogue.” mr. burpo, the pastor of crossroads wesleyan church in imperial, a farming community in southwest nebraska, said in an interview that he had shouldered some criticism over it. “people say we just did this to make money, and not the truth,” mr. burpo said, referring to anonymous online comments about the book. “we were expecting nothing. we were just hoping the publisher would break even.” (he said he planned to give away much of the royalty income and spend some of it on home improvements.) at first, he and his wife, sonja, were not sure if they could believe their story, which came out slowly, months and years after his sudden illness and operation in 2003. the details persuaded them, mr. burpo said. colton told his parents that he had met his younger sister in heaven, describing her as a girl who resembled his older sister, cassie. when the questioned him, he asked his mother, “you had a baby die in your tummy, you?” while his wife had suffered a miscarriage years before, mr. burpo said, they had not told colton about it. “there’s just no way he could have known,” mr. burpo said. and the said that colton painstakingly described images that he said he saw in heaven like the bloody wounds on jesus’ palms that he had not been shown before. advertisement continue reading the main story eventually the decided to tell their story beyond their town. mr. burpo, in his sunday sermons, had already introduced some anecdotes to his congregation. through a pastor friend, they met joel, an agent with alive communications, a christian literary agency in colorado springs. mr. sold the book to thomas nelson, a publisher known for christian titles like days with jesus” by sarah young. the advance was in the low five figures. photo the list price is $16.99, but that is discounted to $9.34 on amazon.com. at the outlets of bookstore, an independent chain mostly in the chicago area, the book is no. 1 on the nonfiction list. interest in it began to perk up around mid-february, said greg sato, a store manager. “of the nonfiction books lately that seems to be the one that people are asking about the most,” mr. sato said. “i have pegged it in the same vein as ‘the five people you meet in heaven’ or ‘the shack.’ like an oprah book, but a little more religious or spiritual.” newsletter sign up continue reading the main story please verify you're not a robot by clicking the box. invalid email

football. telling his story matter-of-factly, colton said he was pleased that people were finding the story inspirational. “people are getting blessed, and going to have healing from their hurts,” he said. “i’m happy for that.”	““we* ɔl ər pərˈhæps ˈdɛspərɪt tɪ noʊ wət ɪz ɔn ðə ˈəðər saɪd əv ðə veɪl ˈæftər wi die,”,” ˈmɪstər. bɔər sɛd, ˈædɪŋ ðət hɪz ˌɪˈnɪʃəl ˈskɛptɪˌsɪzəm əˈbaʊt ðə ˈbʊrpoʊ ˈstɔri

june 26, 2016: one year of nationwide marriage equality on june 26, 2015, the supreme court ruled that same-sex couples have the same constitutional right to marry that couples do. same-sex couples can move or travel from place to place without worry that their relationships have been legally nullified by stepping over a state border. our vigilance didn't end overnight, of number of christian political bigots like kim davis of kentucky and sam brownshirt—er, kansas took it upon themselves in the weeks afterward to ignore the they had been finally deprived of their last shred of legal foundation in doing so. the republican party discovered that it no longer had unilateral control of america's social discourse, and its crusade of acts and constitutional amendments was reduced to naught. one year on, the notion of same-sex marriage has been normalized in most places, and i couldn't be happier about that. marriage isn't the and of equality of course, our work towards achieving a just world with equality of outcomes isn't over. damn it's not over, because there is so much more to civil rights than just marriage alone. = people may live without fear of legal employment or housing discrimination. = people may live without fear of discrimination; trans people do not. = people may be legally discriminated against. employment and housing discrimination affects a larger subset of people than marriage prohibitions, but the current legal situation is absolutely embarrassing. in over half the states in the if you're, 30 if you're is completely legal to be deprived of a job or a home if your supervisor or landlord thinks that gay sex makes baby jesus cry. or any reason at all. you can get married on sunday (thanks to the courts) and fired on monday. and unless you're lucky enough to live in a city or county with an overriding protection, there's not a thing you can do about this. how is this not an outrage? the (employment non-discrimination act) has been tabled in some form or another since 1994, and it would almost certainly be law now if the republican party didn't seize an artificial legislative majority through gerrymandering and voter suppression. unfortunately, there seems to be a large contingent of insufferable, ignorant straight people who assume that employment or housing discrimination is already illegal, and that legislation like is unnecessary. thanks to crap like this and a surgical dose of christian bigotry, an ordinance was repealed in houston, texas (the city in the u.s.) last year. more on that in a minute. the next frontier of action a tidbit of wisdom that ought to be repeated is that we can't always choose our own battles. if people had the privilege of planning their own moves in the game, it's plausible that nationwide housing and employment protections would have been achieved decades ago while marriage would have been further down on the priority list. but our adversaries forced our hand; they made the prospect of marriage the focus of their animus, and they set the stage for the battle that we eventually won. what have our adversaries done in the year since their last humiliating sting of defeat? in a move that shows no shame, they've targeted trans people. transgender people are diverse, and they have wants, needs, desires, and experiences as ordinary or extraordinary as those of you and me. the only difference is that their gender identity and expression don't fit into neat little boxes tied to their body parts. as with other portions of the "alphabet soup," who they are and what they are harms absolutely no one. yet, transgender people in many a place are forced from sight and consigned to the fringes of society. the suicide rates among transgender people hover at almost 1 out of 2. in no place has this been made more apparent than in north carolina, home of the awful new "public facilities privacy & security act," tabled as the bill. the bill directly torpedoed a ordinance in charlotte, the largest city in the state. it also... limits the use of public restrooms to members of a given "biological sex," enforced by birth certificate. (presumably, we can now look forward to cops and guards asking for certificates at the door.) prohibits cities from establishing higher minimum wages (not relating specifically to people, but affecting them and punishing charlotte in the bargain). specifically excludes gender as a basis for nondiscrimination protections, while highlighting "biological sex" with an underline. contains a "severability" clause proclaiming that the rest of the bill will stand even if (and when) parts of it are struck down in court. was pushed through in a single day and signed into law by republican governor pat mccrory, riding high on a wave of reactionary sentiment to put the state's increasingly liberal complexion down. when north carolina's bill was signed into law, crisis calls to the trans lifeline nearly doubled. a similarly insidious bill passed in mississippi days later, and other bills simmered in over a dozen other states. for a moment, it seemed that we were on the verge of a massive rollback of civil rights in every state in which the republican party had lockstep control; much like the amendments of 2004 and 2006. blogger benny described this as a "sensation of helplessness." compounding this was a complete lack of subtlety: the laws took aim at the most marginalized sexual minorities and legislated away their very ability to partake in society. when houston's hero act was repealed, one bigot took it upon himself to describe transgender people as "perverts, the mentally ill, liars, and others who want to get in to opposite sex this is what we're up against. their hatred is so proud, so naked, that it makes me scream. the only good that's come out of this has been a backlash. in a world where money exerts more influence on politics than words, these boycotts and business reactions have been heartening. but most have been focused exclusively on north carolina: mississippi is a state with minimal economic significance to make a difference, while houston's ordinance repeal has inexplicably evaded a meaningful backlash. it's frustrating. meanwhile, remains on the books... = marriage equality starting in 2015, all fifty u.s. states and the district of columbia recognize and permit same-sex marriages as a matter of civil law. although the rapid political progress on this front is new, the issue is but a manifestation of a larger puzzle that has simmered for many decades; a constant cat and mouse game pitting legal roadblocks and reactionary sentiments against the inevitable tide of humanistic social progress. jack baker and michael mcconnell of minnesota attempted to gain a marriage application in may 1970. at the time, there were few laws in force either permitting or prohibiting such arrangements. several states reacted by explicitly banning same-sex marriages in statutes through the course of the and early 1980s, but the issue attracted little attention through the end of the reagan by the aids crisis and the community's constant struggle at the time to simply exist. the genesis of the modern movement is often cited as baehr v. miike, a lawsuit filed by three same-sex couples in hawaii in 1991. denied the right to marry, the couples brought their case to on may 5, 1993, the supreme court of hawaii ruled in their favor, noting that they were discriminated against. the political backlash that resulted was immense. the court's decision was immediately remanded and stayed before same-sex marriages could come into effect, and an statute promptly wrote the matter out of contention. in 1996 the national "defense of marriage act" was reflexively rammed into law, prohibiting the federal government from recognizing any same-sex marriage (even though none were yet possible) and alleviating states from recognizing other states' marriages. in 1999, a similar lawsuit in vermont led to the establishment of civil that provided same-sex couples with some of the civil and financial benefits of marriage without the trappings. in 2003, the legal train made its way one state on may 17, 2004, massachusetts became the first state with marriage equality in the country. sadly, the national reaction continued to be virulent. our president of the time (george w. bush) verbally endorsed a federal marriage amendment that would prohibit any state from recognizing a same-sex marriage...ever. karl rove promptly turned the issue into a weapon to drive up christian voter turnout; a successful ploy to keep bush in office at the expense of real peoples' lives. no fewer than thirteen states placed constitutional amendments on their ballots in 2004, followed by nine more in 2006. all were attempts to codify bigotry by the most concrete letter of law imaginable, and all were magnets for voters with the enlightenment of a lynch mob. in every state but one, the propositions (and bigots) won. but slowly, the course started to change. arizona in 2006 became the first state to reject an constitutional amendment at the they went ahead and passed a slightly version of the same thing two years later. california and connecticut became the second and third states with marriage equality in the initial california victory was bittersweet as much as it was short-lived. marriage equality first passed a state legislature in april 2009, thanks once again to the lead of vermont. equal rights hit the massive state of new york two years later, and national public support started hitting the magic 50% mark around the same time. finally in november 2012, marriage equality won at the ballot box with simultaneous referendums in three states: maryland, washington, and maine. however, what about the states where equality wasn't legal; where the toxic combination of religious demographics and tactics resulted in same-sex marriages being banned under terms of constitutional law? until 2010, i would have predicted through past precedent and reputation that wisconsin would be one of the first states to repeal such a measure. thanks to the actions of my own neighbors and family, that was no longer possible. oregon and nevada were left as the most likely candidates for this course of action, while social progress in the badger state got sidelined indefinitely by a gerrymandered legislature pandering to the worst elements of christian idiocy and a psychopathic governor who was convinced that he had divine guidance and acted out the wills of his god. depressingly, similar scenarios existed in dozens of other states nationwide. although section 3 of was struck down, section 2 (and myriad prohibitions) remained in that even if they had the right to exist at home, married same-sex couples would have had their marriages instantly dissolved any time they stepped beyond the state line. and thanks to a complete absence of protections, it is still completely legal in states to be fired from a job or evicted from housing solely for being gay. it is impossible to separate animus from the religion from which it spawns, and both have been impossible to separate from one of america's two major political parties since the ascendancy of the christian right more than 30 years ago. since 2007 organized opposition to marriage equality became monopolized by the national organization for marriage (nom), a organization led by robert george and brian brown and bankrolled by the roman catholic church. california's proposition 8 in 2008 was funded by a laundry list of catholic, evangelical protestant, and mormon benefactors and organizations. so was north carolina's amendment 1, maine's question 1, and every other voter proposition that has ever existed. there is not a single scrap or shred of animosity in existence that is not religious in origin. you can easily defend prejudice using the bible; citing leviticus, corinthians, jude, deuteronomy, or any other chapter and verse that floats your boat. you can also defend genocide, slavery, misogyny, willful ignorance, genital mutilation, literal incineration, attempted murder, and raping and pillaging the world and being a total jerk so long as you pull the right strings to go to heaven anyway, just by citing words in those pages. just about the only thing that can't be defended is the objective logic of using a corrupt, unethical, medieval book like the bible as a moral guide to begin with. if every person used empirical evidence and critical thinking as a basis for making decisions instead, every single roadblock to civil equality would have been tossed aside, repealed, and condemned decades ago. it's no secret that the states with the societal complexions were among the first states to legalize marriage equality, and there's no doubt that the states (culminating with mississippi) would be the last if not for the courts. i'm proud to say that even in the days of the marriage equality seemed like a pipe dream that would never never accepted why gay and lesbian couples who loved each other ought to be denied the same legal and financial benefits that heterosexual folks enjoyed.	ʤun 26 2016 wən jɪr əv ˈneɪʃənˈwaɪd ˈmɛrɪʤ ɪkˈwɑləti ɔn ʤun 26 2015 ðə səˈprim kɔrt ruld ðət ˌseɪmˈsɛks ˈkəpəlz hæv ðə seɪm ˌkɑnstəˈtuʃənəl raɪt tɪ ˈmɛri ðət ˈkəpəlz du. ˌseɪmˈsɛks ˈkəpəlz kən muv ər ˈtrævəl frəm pleɪs tɪ pleɪs wɪˈθaʊt ˈwəri ðət ðɛr riˈleɪʃənˌʃɪps hæv bɪn ˈligəli ˈnələˌfaɪd baɪ ˈstɛpɪŋ ˈoʊvər ə steɪt ˈbɔrdər. ɑr ˈvɪʤələns ˈdɪdənt ɛnd ˈoʊvərˈnaɪt, əv ˈnəmbər əv ˈkrɪsʧɪn pəˈlɪtɪkəl ˈbɪgəts laɪk kɪm ˈdeɪvɪs əv kənˈtəki ənd sæm brownshirt—er, ˈkænzəs tʊk ɪt əˈpɑn ðɛmˈsɛlvz ɪn ðə wiks ˈæftərwərd tɪ ˌɪgˈnɔr ðə ðeɪ hæd bɪn ˈfaɪnəli dɪˈpraɪvd əv ðɛr læst ʃrɛd əv ˈligəl faʊnˈdeɪʃən ɪn duɪŋ soʊ. ðə rɪˈpəblɪkən ˈpɑrti dɪˈskəvərd ðət ɪt noʊ ˈlɔŋgər hæd ˌjunəˈlætərəl kənˈtroʊl əv əˈmɛrɪkəz ˈsoʊʃəl ˈdɪskɔrs, ənd ɪts kruˈseɪd əv ækts ənd ˌkɑnstəˈtuʃənəl əˈmɛndmənts wɑz rɪˈdust tɪ nɔt. wən jɪr ɔn, ðə ˈnoʊʃən əv ˌseɪmˈsɛks ˈmɛrɪʤ həz bɪn ˈnɔrməˌlaɪzd ɪn moʊst ˈpleɪsɪz, ənd aɪ ˈkʊdənt bi ˈhæpiər əˈbaʊt ðət. ˈmɛrɪʤ ˈɪzənt ðə ənd əv ɪkˈwɑləti əv kɔrs, ɑr wərk təˈwɔrdz əˈʧivɪŋ ə ʤɪst wərld wɪθ ɪkˈwɑləti əv ˈaʊtˌkəmz ˈɪzənt ˈoʊvər. dæm ɪts nɑt ˈoʊvər, bɪˈkəz ðɛr ɪz soʊ məʧ mɔr tɪ ˈsɪvəl raɪts ðən ʤɪst ˈmɛrɪʤ əˈloʊn. ˈpipəl meɪ lɪv wɪˈθaʊt fɪr əv ˈligəl ɪmˈplɔɪmənt ər ˈhaʊzɪŋ dɪˌskrɪməˈneɪʃən. ˈpipəl meɪ lɪv wɪˈθaʊt fɪr əv dɪˌskrɪməˈneɪʃən;

my previous electronics workbench was an old melamine office desk. it was not high enough to work comfortably on assembly. i usually small components (0603, tssop, etc.) and i always ended up placing mys on top of a box so i could see better what i was doing. i looked online for a workbench, but i find what i was looking for. either it was too expensive or i like the design. i decided to build my own instead. to be honest, woodworking one of my strongest skills, but in the end, i was quite satisfied with the results. the design i have a shop in a garage or basement, i live in an apartment, so limited on space. my previous setup was composed of two desks in an “l” shape configuration. the desk was by and a smaller bench on the left side for my drill press (36” by). with the drawers on the desk, it did not leave too much leg room. i wanted to get rid of the smaller table and install my drill press on my workbench. i made it by of which 24 inches is reserved on the left side for the drill. that leaves 34 inches for the work surface which i find is plenty. the bench top is inch from the floor. the total height including the top section is inches. shelves i designed the shelves to be part of the workbench itself so i have to drill holes in the wall to hang them. the top section is 41 inch high and has a perforated board backing (peg board). there are two 32 inches wide adjustable shelves on the right side and one fixed shelf on the top which spans the entire width of the workbench. now, anyone who had to move a refrigerator down the stairs in a three story apartment building knows how much fun it is. that is why i made the top section detachable so the whole thing would be easier to move. the legs on the back extends 12 inch from the top of the work surface. the frame of the top section is held in place on those legs with two bolts on each sides. drawers there was no practical places to install drawers for my tools. i recycled the drawers from my old desk. as it turns out, it fitted perfectly on the side of the storage shelf near my workbench. i built a frame for them with and painted it black. i installed ball bearing slides instead of the cheap tracks i had before. plan here is the workbench plans (pdf) : download construction framing i started by cutting each piece of the frame using. i assigned each one letters so it was easier to keep track which goes where and to avoid mistakes. then, i made inch deep notches on the front and rear legs so that the horizontal support could sit inside the notches. that way, all the weight you put on top of the bench is transferred directly to the legs instead of the screws. once i cut all the pieces, i began assembling the sides first. then, the front and rear support beams and finally, the lower shelf. this shelf serves as additional storage space, but more importantly, it also strengthens the structure. on most workbench plans, it spans the entire depth. i made it 11 inch wide instead so it would give me enough leg room. bench top with the base frame completed, it was time to install the bench top. i glued and screwed the top in place with three inches screws. i then covered the screws with wood filler. now this is the step i would differently if i did it again. i did match the wood filler with the natural color of the wood. once i stained it however, it became more apparent. the proper way to do it would have been to glue another inch sheet on top of the base sheet top section the next step was to assemble the upper section frame and then add the perforated board. i added a seven inches on top of the perforated board. this was not part of the original design, it was a way to cover a i made. anyway, i think it looks better that way. i cut openings for the two device boxes. the larger one is for ac and the smaller one on the left is for low voltage connections (network access and usb). finishing i originally planned to stain the entire workbench. the bench top looked fine, but trying to stain the was a mistake. i did one leg and it looked like crap. in the end, i decided to stain only the bench top and shelves and paint the rest with black melamine paint. the melamine paint did not need any varnish not sure if it would be compatible anyway). to protect the stain, i used nano defence floor finish. the guy at the building supply store gave me the idea, i would never have thought of using floor varnish on a piece of furniture, but it actually works quite well. it is water based, so the smell was not an issue here. to apply the varnish, i used a four inch wide foam brush. i applied about seven coats of varnish, sanding lightly between each application. lighting fixtures lighting is one thing i made sure i had plenty of. in addition to the two fluorescent tubes on the top shelf, i have two led “tubes” under the lower shelf about 10 inches away from the work surface. i have the proper tool to measure the total lux, but i think one would have sufficient light to perform surgery. i made those lighting fixtures myself from flexible led strips (120 led per meter) i bought on ebay. each fixtures is composed of two (16 inches) strip in parallel for a total of four strips. at 12 watt per meter, they consumes about @. they are powered by a) mounted on the frame behind the perforated board. they are fixed on an “l” shape aluminum channel which helps dissipate the heat. electrical there are two ac outlets: the white one is always on and the gray outlet is controlled by the switch on the right. the second switch controls both the fluorescent tubes and the led strips. cabinet for my scope with the drill press this close to my oscilloscope, there is a high risk of debris flying into the vents, especially when drilling aluminum. up until now, each time i was using the drill, i always put something over my scope to protect it, but that was not enough. there was always the possibility that i would lose my grip on the piece drilling and that it goes flying towards the screen, not a good thing… why i decided to build this cabinet before something catastrophic happens. there’s nothing too fancy here, just a box with a door. it measures 23 long x high by 12 deep. made from 3 pieces of 12 inch wide, inch thick plywood. the door frame is made from pine strips with a groove in the middle to fit the inch thick sheet. the cabinet itself is screwed

one month after its employees voted to unionize, the salon media group, a digital media pioneer and a stalwart of the progressive press, has still refused to recognize the move. sources close to the situation tell international business times that management on thursday approached labor with a counter offer to their request to unionize that workers did not take seriously. the mark came in the same week that the guardian us announced it had swiftly recognized the union at its own shop under the auspices of the news media guild. in june, gawker media successfully unionized with the writers guild of america, east, which the staffers at salon cited as a catalyst for their own efforts to organize later that month. but after unappealing counteroffer from management, the stalemate goes on. “our employees are very important to us, and we are carefully considering their request.” salon ceo cindy jeffers told in an email on wednesday. according to earnings statement, jeffers last year made over $440k including a $225k salary, a $100k bonus and stock option awards of $115k. editorial employees are offered a $30k salary. declining ad sales meanwhile, the business side of the operation took a stumble last year: total revenue dipped 18 percent, from $6 million to $4.9 million, while losses increased by 80 percent, from $2.2 to $3.9 million. as of march 31, 2015, salon had an accumulated deficit of $122.6 million. the company says that the losses are primarily due to a decline in direct sales advertising and referral fees. it still relies on millions of dollars in cash infusions from john warnock, chairman of board, and investment banker william hambrecht, who is father of former ceo and current chief financial officer elizabeth hambrecht. oddly enough, traffic is way up: under david daley, salon enjoyed 17 million a month by april 2015, a 52 percent increase from a million average in fiscal year 2014. surging traffic that boom came at a certain price. longtime salon fans, such as writer michelle dean this week, have lamented the surge of frothy catnip that brought on the rising traffic numbers. highlights of recent salon headlines include: my boyfriend lives in a dumpster ,” sex is not really that weird ,” what a beheading feels like ,” 10 strangest facts about penises ,” my bunny ruined my sex life ,” having herpes has made my sex life better ,” 10 more strange facts about penises ,” and an essay by a woman who expected a marriage proposal from her boyfriend but instead got an offer for anal sex . on wednesday, editorial staff coordinated to tweet out their dissatisfaction with the management. joan walsh, editor-at-large, former and frequent contributor, signaled her concern as well. yes @soniasaraiya, i was proud of our unanimous organizing drive. didn't expect to be waiting this long to be recognized joan walsh (@joanwalsh) july 28, 2015 employees tell that they are looking to unionize to create a system for better communication between labor and management, much of which is currently ad hoc. they want things like employee reviews, greater clarity about editorial goals and scheduled updates about raises. some complain of low salaries, while others say it is duty as a progressive site to live out its editorial stance . salon, historically unprofitable, was founded in 1995 by journalist and author david talbot. throughout the its main source of revenue were subscriptions, which it finally abandoned in 2012 after atepid response from users,” according to its earnings statement. last year, the management at progressive watchdog site media matters for america also fought a union drive by employees, declining to recognize a union through a card check of the majority of the staff. the organization instead forced a union election under the supervision of the national labor relations board. “many media matters employees feel betrayed by the unexpected and unexplained path our leadership has taken in response to our efforts to unionize," the employees said in a statement. the union eventually materialized, but only after a long and grueling battle inside the liberal organization. with the employees at salon gearing up to take their fight to the next level, brand is now to charges of hypocrisy, from inside and outside the company.	wən mənθ ˈæftər ɪts ɪmˈplɔɪiz

donald trump's "working vacation" in new jersey ruined a surprise skydiving spectacle for 250 kids at a day camp after the secret service denied clearance for the event. for more than three months, the day camp in randolph, new jersey, had planned a huge surprise for their color war "break" a common camp tradition which signals the start of a competition between the kids, and which usually involves an elaborate spectacle for the children to enjoy. this year's color war "break" at day camp involved four dressed as superheroes who would jump down from a plane and "rescue" the kids from "bikers" who drove into camp, jessica, the camp's assistant director, told news. grannum said that months of planning had gone into the surprise, which had been set to unfold on wednesday morning. but a few hours before the event, said the secret service denied clearance for the plane, as it would have entered the zone created around bedminster for trump's vacation at his private golf club. "this morning, we had the clearance, the sky divers were ready on the plane and then the secret service shut us down for the zone," said. "which was really sad."	ˈdɑnəld trəmps "ˈwərkɪŋ veɪˈkeɪʃən" ɪn nu ˈʤərzi ruɪnd ə səˈpraɪz ˈskaɪdaɪvɪŋ ˈspɛktəkəl fər 250 kɪdz æt ə deɪ kæmp ˈæftər ðə ˈsikrɪt ˈsərvɪs dɪˈnaɪd ˈklɪrəns fər ðə ɪˈvɛnt. fər mɔr ðən θri mənθs, ðə deɪ kæmp ɪn ˈrændɑlf, nu ˈʤərzi, hæd plænd ə juʤ səˈpraɪz fər ðɛr ˈkələr wɔr "breɪk" ə ˈkɑmən kæmp trəˈdɪʃən wɪʧ ˈsɪgnəlz ðə stɑrt əv ə ˌkɑmpəˈtɪʃən bɪtˈwin ðə kɪdz, ənd wɪʧ ˈjuʒəwəli ˌɪnˈvɑlvz ən ɪˈlæbərˌeɪt ˈspɛktəkəl fər ðə ˈʧɪldrən tɪ ˌɛnˈʤɔɪ. ðɪs jɪrz ˈkələr wɔr "breɪk" æt deɪ kæmp ˌɪnˈvɑlvd fɔr drɛst ɛz ˌsupərˈhiroʊz hu wʊd ʤəmp daʊn frəm ə pleɪn ənd "ˈrɛskju" ðə kɪdz frəm "ˈbaɪkərz" hu droʊv ˈɪntu kæmp, ˈʤɛsɪkə, ðə kæmps əˈsɪstənt dɪˈrɛktər, toʊld nuz. sɛd ðət mənθs əv ˈplænɪŋ hæd gɔn ˈɪntu ðə səˈpraɪz, wɪʧ hæd bɪn sɛt tɪ ənˈfoʊld ɔn ˈwɛnzˌdeɪ ˈmɔrnɪŋ. bət ə fju aʊərz ˌbiˈfɔr ðə ɪˈvɛnt, sɛd ðə ˈsikrɪt ˈsərvɪs dɪˈnaɪd ˈklɪrəns fər ðə pleɪn, ɛz ɪt wʊd hæv ˈɛnərd ðə zoʊn kriˈeɪtɪd əraʊnd ˈbɛdmɪnstər fər trəmps veɪˈkeɪʃən æt hɪz ˈpraɪvət gɔlf kləb.

berlin/geneva (reuters) -ropean business is increasingly concerned about the potential collapse of the zone under the pressure of a huge influx of migrants, with companies from automakers to logistics firms warning of serious losses. migrants argue with police near the border, near the village of idomeni, greece march 2, 2016. some use words such as “horrific” and “devastating” to describe the prospect of an end to the accord, seen one of the essential of war two peace and prosperity inrope. schengen has already been temporarily suspended by seven countries to keep migrants from crossing their borders, and fears are rising of an reversal towards costly and delaying frontier checks. now stretching from greece in the south to iceland in the north and encompassing more that 400 million people, the area has offered commercial and personal movement since an initial pact in 1985. it has been widely considered one of theropean most successful, projects, stretching to several countries and excluding just britain and ireland in westernrope. one of the benefits of to manufacturers has been to allow them to work with very low stocks of components, relying on the fact they can be delivered on time as demand rises. but the zone is now on the brink of seizing up, driven to the edge by the crisis that saw more than 1 million refugees and migrants enter the last year, many fleeing wars in the middle east. politicians have long warned about the danger. german chancellor angela merkel said on tuesday that the must come to an agreement very soon, possibly at a march 7 summit, on how to deal with the crisis in order to get back up and running properly. business, however, is worrying that it happen. “a breakdown of would be horrific for us,” carmaker chief executive, neumann, told reporters on tuesday, noting opel depends on the reliable transport of goods and components from germany, spain, poland, britain and italy. “we have huge logistics operations in southernrope; any disruption would have an immediate impact on the bottom line.” airports associationrope, meanwhile, warned that a collapse would create major congestion and cost larger airports hundreds of millions ofros to redesign terminals. “the impact would be quite devastating,” olivier jankovec, the director general, said, though adding that he did not believe this would transpire. other businesses - including delivery specialists express, ups and - played down the impact of unraveling, saying that they had ways of mitigating it. but cautioned: “border controls would lengthen delivery times to most target countries. parallel with this, fuel and wage costs for a given route would probably increase and new administrative costs could also arise.” economic hit the nature and scope of a closure makes estimates of the impact hard to gauge - ranging from an immediate slowdown of commerce to effects on sectors such as tourism. one study released by theropean commission, however, sought to assess the impact of just a small slowdown caused by border controls on roughly 57 million road transport journeys a year. “assuming that each of these crosses one border and has an additional waiting time of one hour. this could easily add up to a total cost of around 3 billionros per year,” it said, citing an estimate by move, the for mobility and transport. that is small in the context of a trillionro ($15.06 trillion) economy. but the impact could be far greater, especially if a shutdown was long lasting. a study conducted for bertelsmann found that losses in overall growth as a result of reinstating border controls could reach 470 billionros for the years 2016 to 2025. slideshow (5 images) another study, from france, suggested that over time, “widespread border controls would decrease trade between countries by 10 percent to 20 percent.” in the same vein, morgan stanley estimates that the overall loss of to growth resulting simply from a 5 percent rise in transport costs would amount to percent. “a suspension of would undermine the functioning of the single market, hurting trade, transport and tourism,” morgan stanley said.	berlin/geneva* (ˈrɔɪtərz) ˌjʊrəˈpiən ˈbɪznɪs ɪz ˌɪnˈkrisɪŋgli kənˈsərnd əˈbaʊt ðə pəˈtɛnʃəl kəˈlæps əv ðə zoʊn ˈəndər ðə ˈprɛʃər əv ə juʤ ˈɪnˌfləks əv ˈmaɪgrənts, wɪθ ˈkəmpəˌniz frəm ˈɔtoʊˌmeɪkərz tɪ ləˈʤɪstɪks fərmz ˈwɔrnɪŋ əv ˈsɪriəs ˈlɔsɪz. ˈmaɪgrənts ˈɑrgju wɪθ pəˈlis nɪr ðə ˈbɔrdər, nɪr ðə ˈvɪlɪʤ əv idomeni, gris mɑrʧ 2 2016 səm juz wərdz səʧ ɛz ““horrific”” ənd ““devastating”” tɪ dɪˈskraɪb ðə ˈprɑspɛkt əv ən ɛnd tɪ ðə əˈkɔrd, sin wən əv ðə ɛˈsɛnʃəl əv wɔr tu pis ənd prɑˈspɛrəti ɪn ˈjʊrəp. həz ɔˈrɛdi bɪn ˌtɛmpərˈɛrəli səˈspɛndɪd baɪ ˈsɛvən ˈkəntriz tɪ kip ˈmaɪgrənts frəm ˈkrɔsɪŋ ðɛr ˈbɔrdərz, ənd fɪrz ər ˈraɪzɪŋ əv ən rɪˈvərsəl təˈwɔrdz ˈkɔstli ənd dɪˈleɪɪŋ frənˈtɪr ʧɛks. naʊ ˈstrɛʧɪŋ frəm gris ɪn ðə saʊθ tɪ ˈaɪslənd ɪn ðə nɔrθ ənd ɛnˈkəmpəsɪŋ mɔr ðət 400 ˈmɪljən ˈpipəl, ðə ˈɛriə həz ˈɔfərd kəˈmərʃəl ənd ˈpərsɪnəl ˈmuvmənt sɪns ən ˌɪˈnɪʃəl pækt ɪn 1985 ɪt həz bɪn ˈwaɪdli kənˈsɪdərd wən əv ðə ˌjʊrəˈpiən moʊst səkˈsɛsfəl, ˈprɑʤɛkts, ˈstrɛʧɪŋ tɪ ˈsɛvərəl ˈkəntriz ənd ɪkˈskludɪŋ ʤɪst ˈbrɪtən ənd ˈaɪərlənd ɪn ˈwɛstərn ˈjʊrəp. wən əv ðə ˈbɛnəfɪts əv tɪ ˌmænjəˈfækʧərərz həz bɪn tɪ əˈlaʊ ðɛm tɪ wərk wɪθ ˈvɛri loʊ stɑks əv kəmˈpoʊnənts, riˈlaɪɪŋ ɔn ðə fækt ðeɪ kən bi dɪˈlɪvərd ɔn taɪm ɛz dɪˈmænd ˈraɪzɪz. bət ðə zoʊn ɪz naʊ ɔn ðə brɪŋk əv ˈsizɪŋ əp, ˈdrɪvən tɪ ðə ɛʤ baɪ ðə ˈkraɪsəs ðət sɔ mɔr ðən 1 ˈmɪljən ˈrɛfˌjuʤiz ənd ˈmaɪgrənts ˈɛnər ðə læst jɪr, ˈmɛni fliɪŋ wɔrz ɪn ðə ˈmɪdəl ist. ˌpɑləˈtɪʃənz hæv lɔŋ wɔrnd əˈbaʊt ðə ˈdeɪnʤər. ˈʤərmən ˈʧænsələr ˈænʤələ ˈmərkəl sɛd ɔn ˈtuzˌdeɪ ðət ðə məst kəm tɪ ən əˈgrimənt ˈvɛri sun, ˈpɑsəbli æt ə mɑrʧ 7 ˈsəmɪt, ɔn haʊ tɪ dil wɪθ ðə ˈkraɪsəs ɪn ˈɔrdər tɪ gɪt bæk əp ənd ˈrənɪŋ ˈprɑpərli. ˈbɪznɪs, ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ɪz ˈwəriɪŋ ðət ɪt ˈhæpən. ˈbreɪkˌdaʊn əv wʊd bi hɔˈrɪfɪk fər us,”,” ˈkɑrˌmeɪkər ʧif ɪgˈzɛkjətɪv, ˈnumən, toʊld rɪˈpɔrtərz ɔn ˈtuzˌdeɪ, ˈnoʊtɪŋ ˈoʊpəl dɪˈpɛndz ɔn ðə rɪˈlaɪəbəl ˈtrænspɔrt əv gʊdz ənd kəmˈpoʊnənts frəm ˈʤərməni, speɪn, ˈpoʊlənd, ˈbrɪtən ənd ˈɪtəli. hæv juʤ ləˈʤɪstɪks ˌɑpərˈeɪʃənz ɪn ˈsəðərn ˈjʊrəp;

right now, almost everyone is thinking about star wars: the force awakens, even if they'd rather not be. marketing for the film is ubiquitous, and covers everything from billboards to cans of soup at the supermarket. its stars are hitting every talk show on the planet and covering every magazine and newspaper; trailers and tv spots are on every channel. if you're not a fan, that might just be an annoyance, but if you are a fan, it's more than just an enticement to buy a ticket that you likely already purchased months ago: it is a reminder that, finally, we get to know what happens next. the idea that luke, han, and leia are back, played by the original actors, is absolutely intoxicating to star wars fans, myself included. but as exciting as the force awakens is, my brain's been reminding me of something a lot lately: we were told what happens next years ago, and even if that story doesn't count anymore, it's worth remembering. that's right, it's time to talk about star wars "legends," or what used to be called the good old star wars expanded universe. though we're all obsessed with what happens next right now, it's important to remember that return of the jedi is not a film that particularly lends itself to "...and then" thinking. sure, the kind of mind that tends toward might think like that anyway, but jedi is a movie that ends on a note of sincere finality. darth vader is dead, and so is the emperor. the death star and the mighty imperial fleet are destroyed. the rebel alliance is having a big party with space bears, the ghosts of jedi past are smiling, and to put an exclamation point on the whole thing, luke torches body, reducing the dark side to ashes. years later, george lucas added yet another exclamation point: a shot of the emperor's statue being ripped down on to cheers from a jubilant crowd. the message was clear: the empire's over, and the galaxy is rejoicing. we're done. mission accomplished. and yet, someone had the bright idea to tell the next chapter, and we got the expanded universe as a result -- most famously stories like the trilogy and dark empire, the "official" versions of what happens next. today, these stories are often credited with keeping star wars alive in the public imagination in the years between return of the jedi and the phantom menace, and it's easy to see why. as we're all learning again in the to the force awakens, the idea of revisiting these characters is so satisfying. when i was a kid, i took it as a given that jedi was the end, and that there were no more battles left to fight. then my mother bought me heir to the empire, and i was immediately swept up in the galaxy again, in the idea that some imperial genius could come back and threaten the finality of jedi, and that luke would have another wielding to duel with. i wasn't alone, and so the grew and grew, getting ever more vast and convoluted, and as a result, disney pulled the plug, preferring a blank slate to one covered in-esque squiggles. the old lives on as the "legends" line, but even as i'm things like heir to the empire and the black fleet crisis trilogy, other fans ask "what's the point? it doesn't count." it is true that the old doesn't "count" anymore, but even as we move into a bold new era for star wars, i think it's important to remember that it counts in a massive way when considering the pop culture legacy of star wars. in the early '90s, when heir to the empire came out and became a massive bestseller, we didn't know if we'd ever seen another star wars movie. we were nearly a decade removed from jedi, and then suddenly there was this story, and star wars was alive in the public imagination well beyond the fans. suddenly, everyone was encouraged to ask big, soapy, questions about this world and these characters again. "what if a brilliant tactician decided to rip apart the new republic?" "what if the emperor cloned himself and managed to turn luke to the dark side?" "what if there was a hidden that could destroy suns?" "what if han and leia had twins, and one turned evil, and his sister was forced to kill him?" that kind of thinking infected and invigorated the fandom, and stayed there for decades, right up until disney decided to start over and ask their own "what if?" questions about the universe. it is that that i remember feeling and sharing with friends and fellow fans, and it extended in all directions, to comics, and video games, and toys, and tv. like the force, it surrounded us and bound us together in a time well before we ever thought we'd see something like the force awakens. that might sound corny, and it might actually be corny, but for me it's true. so, as we get the new "official" story of what happened after return of the jedi this weekend, i have a simple request: don't forget the old "official" story, because it was a blast, and it helped star wars to endure.	raɪt naʊ, ˈɔlˌmoʊst ˈɛvriˌwən ɪz ˈθɪŋkɪŋ əˈbaʊt stɑr wɔrz: ðə fɔrs əˈweɪkənz, ˈivɪn ɪf ðeɪd ˈrəðər nɑt bi. ˈmɑrkətɪŋ fər ðə fɪlm ɪz juˈbɪkwɪtəs, ənd ˈkəvərz ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ frəm ˈbɪlˌbɔrdz tɪ kænz əv sup æt ðə ˈsupərˌmɑrkɪt. ɪts stɑrz ər ˈhɪtɪŋ ˈɛvəri tɔk ʃoʊ ɔn ðə ˈplænət ənd ˈkəvərɪŋ ˈɛvəri ˈmægəˌzin ənd ˈnuzˌpeɪpər; ˈtreɪlərz ənd ˌtɛləˈvɪʒən spɑts ər ɔn ˈɛvəri ˈʧænəl. ɪf jʊr nɑt ə fæn, ðət maɪt ʤɪst bi ən əˈnɔɪəns, bət ɪf ju ər ə fæn, ɪts mɔr ðən ʤɪst ən ɪnˈtaɪsmənt tɪ baɪ ə ˈtɪkɪt ðət ju ˈlaɪkli ɔˈrɛdi ˈpərʧəst mənθs əˈgoʊ: ɪt ɪz ə riˈmaɪndər ðət, ˈfaɪnəli, wi gɪt tɪ noʊ wət ˈhæpənz nɛkst. ðə aɪˈdiə ðət luk, hɑn, ənd leɪɑ ər bæk, pleɪd baɪ ðə ərˈɪʤənəl ˈæktərz, ɪz ˌæbsəˈlutli ˌɪnˈtɑksɪˌkeɪtɪŋ tɪ stɑr wɔrz fænz, ˌmaɪˈsɛlf ˌɪnˈkludɪd. bət ɛz ɪkˈsaɪtɪŋ ɛz ðə fɔrs əˈweɪkənz ɪz, maɪ breɪnz bɪn riˈmaɪndɪŋ mi əv ˈsəmθɪŋ ə lɔt ˈleɪtli: wi wər toʊld wət ˈhæpənz nɛkst jɪrz əˈgoʊ, ənd ˈivɪn ɪf ðət ˈstɔri ˈdəzənt kaʊnt ˌɛniˈmɔr, ɪts wərθ rɪˈmɛmbərɪŋ. ðæts raɪt, ɪts taɪm tɪ tɔk əˈbaʊt stɑr wɔrz "ˈlɛʤəndz," ər wət juzd tɪ bi kɔld ðə gʊd oʊld stɑr wɔrz ɪkˈspændɪd ˈjunəˌvərs. ðoʊ wɪr ɔl əbˈsɛst wɪθ wət ˈhæpənz nɛkst raɪt naʊ, ɪts ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt tɪ rɪˈmɛmbər ðət rɪˈtərn əv ðə ˈʤɛˌdi ɪz nɑt ə fɪlm ðət ˌpɑrˈtɪkjələrli lɛndz ˌɪtˈsɛlf tɪ "...ənd ðɛn" ˈθɪŋkɪŋ. ʃʊr, ðə kaɪnd əv maɪnd ðət tɛndz təˈwɔrd maɪt θɪŋk laɪk ðət ˈɛniˌweɪ, bət ˈʤɛˌdi ɪz ə ˈmuvi ðət ɛndz ɔn ə noʊt əv sɪnˈsɪr faɪˈnæləti. dɑrθ ˈveɪdər ɪz dɛd, ənd soʊ ɪz ðə ˈɛmpərər. ðə dɛθ stɑr ənd ðə ˈmaɪti ˌɪmˈpɪriəl flit ər dɪˈstrɔɪd. ðə ˈrɛbəl əˈlaɪəns ɪz ˈhævɪŋ ə bɪg ˈpɑrti wɪθ speɪs bɛrz, ðə goʊsts əv ˈʤɛˌdi pæst ər sˈmaɪlɪŋ, ənd tɪ pʊt ən ˌɛkskləˈmeɪʃən pɔɪnt ɔn ðə hoʊl θɪŋ, luk ˈtɔrʧɪz ˈbɑdi, rɪˈdusɪŋ ðə dɑrk saɪd tɪ ˈæʃɪz. jɪrz ˈleɪtər, ʤɔrʤ ˈlukəs ˈædɪd jɛt əˈnəðər ˌɛkskləˈmeɪʃən pɔɪnt: ə ʃɑt əv ðə ˈɛmpərərz ˈstæˌʧu biɪŋ rɪpt daʊn ɔn tɪ ʧɪrz frəm ə ˈʤubələnt kraʊd. ðə ˈmɛsɪʤ wɑz klɪr: ðə ˈɛmpaɪərz ˈoʊvər, ənd ðə ˈgæləksi ɪz rɪˈʤɔɪsɪŋ. wɪr dən. ˈmɪʃən əˈkɑmplɪʃt. ənd jɛt, ˈsəmˌwən hæd ðə braɪt aɪˈdiə tɪ tɛl ðə nɛkst ˈʧæptər, ənd wi gɑt ðə ɪkˈspændɪd ˈjunəˌvərs ɛz ə rɪˈzəlt moʊst ˈfeɪməsli ˈstɔriz laɪk ðə ˈtrɪləʤi ənd dɑrk ˈɛmpaɪər, ðə "əˈfɪʃəl" ˈvərʒənz əv wət ˈhæpənz nɛkst. təˈdeɪ, ðiz ˈstɔriz ər ˈɔfən ˈkrɛdɪtɪd wɪθ ˈkipɪŋ stɑr wɔrz əˈlaɪv ɪn ðə ˈpəblɪk ˌɪˌmæʤəˈneɪʃən ɪn ðə jɪrz bɪtˈwin rɪˈtərn əv ðə ˈʤɛˌdi ənd ðə ˈfænəm ˈmɛnɪs, ənd ɪts ˈizi tɪ si waɪ. ɛz wɪr ɔl ˈlərnɪŋ əˈgɛn ɪn ðə tɪ ðə fɔrs əˈweɪkənz, ðə aɪˈdiə əv riˈvɪzɪtɪŋ ðiz ˈkɛrɪktərz ɪz soʊ ˈsætɪsˌfaɪɪŋ. wɪn aɪ wɑz ə kɪd, aɪ tʊk ɪt ɛz ə ˈgɪvɪn ðət ˈʤɛˌdi wɑz ðə ɛnd, ənd ðət ðɛr wər noʊ mɔr ˈbætəlz lɛft tɪ faɪt. ðɛn maɪ ˈməðər bɔt mi ɛr tɪ ðə ˈɛmpaɪər, ənd aɪ wɑz ˌɪˈmiˌdiətli swɛpt əp ɪn ðə ˈgæləksi əˈgɛn, ɪn ðə aɪˈdiə ðət səm ˌɪmˈpɪriəl ˈʤinjəs kʊd kəm bæk ənd θˈrɛtən ðə faɪˈnæləti əv ˈʤɛˌdi, ənd ðət luk wʊd hæv əˈnəðər ˈwildɪŋ tɪ duəl wɪθ. aɪ ˈwəzənt əˈloʊn, ənd soʊ ðə gru ənd gru, ˈgɪtɪŋ ˈɛvər mɔr væst ənd ˈkɑnvəˌlutəd, ənd ɛz ə rɪˈzəlt, ˈdɪzni pʊld ðə pləg, prɪˈfərɪŋ ə blæŋk sleɪt tɪ wən ˈkəvərd ɪn skˈwɪgəlz. ðə oʊld lɪvz ɔn ɛz ðə "ˈlɛʤəndz" laɪn, bət ˈivɪn ɛz əm θɪŋz laɪk ɛr tɪ ðə ˈɛmpaɪər ənd ðə blæk flit ˈkraɪsəs ˈtrɪləʤi, ˈəðər fænz æsk "wəts ðə pɔɪnt? ɪt ˈdəzənt kaʊnt." ɪt ɪz tru ðət ðə oʊld ˈdəzənt "kaʊnt" ˌɛniˈmɔr, bət ˈivɪn ɛz wi muv ˈɪntu ə boʊld nu ˈɪrə fər stɑr wɔrz, aɪ θɪŋk ɪts ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt tɪ rɪˈmɛmbər ðət ɪt kaʊnts ɪn ə ˈmæsɪv weɪ wɪn kənˈsɪdərɪŋ ðə pɑp ˈkəlʧər ˈlɛgəsi əv stɑr wɔrz. ɪn ðə ˈərli 90s, wɪn ɛr tɪ ðə ˈɛmpaɪər keɪm aʊt ənd bɪˈkeɪm ə ˈmæsɪv ˈbɛˈsɛlər, wi ˈdɪdənt noʊ ɪf wid ˈɛvər sin əˈnəðər stɑr wɔrz ˈmuvi. wi wər ˈnɪrli ə ˈdɛkeɪd riˈmuvd frəm ˈʤɛˌdi, ənd ðɛn ˈsədənli ðɛr wɑz ðɪs ˈstɔri, ənd stɑr wɔrz wɑz əˈlaɪv ɪn ðə ˈpəblɪk ˌɪˌmæʤəˈneɪʃən wɛl bɪɔnd ðə fænz. ˈsədənli, ˈɛvriˌwən wɑz ɪnˈkərəʤd tɪ æsk bɪg, ˈsoʊpi, kˈwɛsʧənz əˈbaʊt ðɪs wərld ənd ðiz ˈkɛrɪktərz əˈgɛn.

thorsen funneled millions of taxpayer dollars toward coverup (naturalnews) the very legitimacy of the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) as a trustworthy safeguard of public health hangs in the balance as evidence continues to emerge about rampant deception, fraud and even money laundering within the agency. specifically with regard to vaccines and autism, key players involved in the propaganda campaign to deny this link are now being exposed as liars working on behalf of the vaccine such liar is dr. poul thorsen, a danish scientist who was indicted for stealing millions of dollars from the cdc and using it to cover up vaccine dangers. thorsen, as you may recall, was heavily involved in producing a stream of fraudulent studies that supposedly "disproved" the link between vaccines and autism. the cdc has also continually cited studies as "evidence" that vaccines are safe, declaring the debate to be over in light of their findings.but, one by one, these and various other studies, including a prominent one published in the journal pediatrics , are being called into question due to fraud and author conflicts of interest. and to make matters worse, the u.s. department of justice (doj) has yet to even follow through with its indictment of thorsen, who continues to produce phony studies from his cozy position at hospital in kolding, we reported back in 2011, thorsen had previously worked for the cdc, overseeing millions of dollars' worth of grant money that we now know was used to prop up the myth that vaccines are safe. the cdc had long perpetuated this myth, so it was in the agency's best interests to quell public fears by generating a series of studies to this was later caught stealing money from the cdc and using it in his home country of denmark to produce the infamous "denmark study," the holy grail that supposedly settled, once and for all, the debate. except it didn't. thorsen was indicted by a federal grand jury in atlanta, georgia, on charges of wire fraud, money laundering and defrauding research institutions of grant was more than three years ago, and thorsen still hasn't been brought to justice. as explained by, thorsen faces up to 260 years in prison and $22.5 million in fines if convicted on all charges. but as it currently stands, thorsen remains a free man -- at least for now. with new evidence showing rampant fraud and data manipulation in other studies at the cdc, justice could be on the we've been reporting in the past few days, at least three top cdc scientists are now under the gun for their involvement in a 2003 study that, thanks to a key whistleblower, has been proven fraudulent. like research, this particular study had claimed that no link exists between vaccines and autism . but according to dr. william thompson, an epidemiologist who worked on behalf of the cdc to investigate a potential link between vaccines and autism, data from this study was manipulated to cover up what has now been confirmed to be a definitive link."dr. frank destefano, dr. yeargin-allsop, dr. coleen boyle -- they knew," explains dr. andrew wakefield in a new film on the scandal, referring to the three cdc scientists who were complicit in the coverup. "they let it happen and they could have stopped can watch dr. groundbreaking film can also contact the white house at and request for president obama to instruct secretary kerry and attorney general holder to bring thorsen to the u.s. and prosecute him, and you can call congressman darrell issa, chairman of the committee on oversight and government reform, at and ask for a hearing to be conducted on thorsen as soon as possible. further for doing this can be found in the last paragraph of the following piece by	ˈθɔrsən ˈfənəld ˈmɪljənz əv ˈtækˌspeɪər ˈdɔlərz təˈwɔrd ˈkəvərˌəp (naturalnews) ðə ˈvɛri lɪˈʤɪtəməsi əv ðə juz. ˈsɛnərz fər dɪˈziz kənˈtroʊl ənd priˈvɛnʃən (ˈsiˌdiˈsi) ɛz ə ˈtrəstˌwərði ˈseɪfˌgɑrd əv ˈpəblɪk hɛlθ hæŋz ɪn ðə ˈbæləns ɛz ˈɛvədəns kənˈtɪnjuz tɪ ˈimərʤ əˈbaʊt ˈræmpənt dɪˈsɛpʃən, frɔd ənd ˈivɪn ˈməni ˈlɔndərɪŋ wɪˈθɪn ðə ˈeɪʤənsi. spəˈsɪfɪkli wɪθ rɪˈgɑrd tɪ ˌvækˈsinz ənd ˈɔˌtɪzəm, ki pleɪərz ˌɪnˈvɑlvd ɪn ðə ˌprɑpəˈgændə kæmˈpeɪn tɪ dɪˈnaɪ ðɪs lɪŋk ər naʊ biɪŋ ɪkˈspoʊzd ɛz laɪərz ˈwərkɪŋ ɔn bɪˈhæf əv ðə ˌvækˈsin səʧ laɪər ɪz ˈdɑktər. pul ˈθɔrsən, ə ˈdeɪnɪʃ ˈsaɪəntɪst hu wɑz ˌɪnˈdaɪtɪd fər ˈstilɪŋ ˈmɪljənz əv ˈdɔlərz frəm ðə ˈsiˌdiˈsi ənd ˈjuzɪŋ ɪt tɪ ˈkəvər əp ˌvækˈsin ˈdeɪnʤərz. ˈθɔrsən, ɛz ju meɪ ˈriˌkɔl, wɑz ˈhɛvəli ˌɪnˈvɑlvd ɪn prəˈdusɪŋ ə strim əv ˈfrɔʤələnt ˈstədiz ðət səˈpoʊzədli "dɪˈspruvd" ðə lɪŋk bɪtˈwin ˌvækˈsinz ənd ˈɔˌtɪzəm. ðə ˈsiˌdiˈsi həz ˈɔlsoʊ kənˈtɪnjuəli ˈsaɪtɪd ˈstədiz ɛz "ˈɛvədəns" ðət ˌvækˈsinz ər seɪf, dɪˈklɛrɪŋ ðə dəˈbeɪt tɪ bi ˈoʊvər ɪn laɪt əv ðɛr findings.but, wən baɪ wən, ðiz ənd ˈvɛriəs ˈəðər ˈstədiz, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ə ˈprɑmənənt wən ˈpəblɪʃt ɪn ðə ˈʤərnəl ˌpidiˈætrɪks ər biɪŋ kɔld ˈɪntu kˈwɛʃən du tɪ frɔd ənd ˈɔθər ˈkɑnflɪkts əv ˈɪntəˌrɛst. ənd tɪ meɪk ˈmætərz wərs, ðə juz. dɪˈpɑrtmənt əv ˈʤəstɪs (doj) həz jɛt tɪ ˈivɪn ˈfɑloʊ θru wɪθ ɪts ˌɪnˈdaɪtmənt əv ˈθɔrsən, hu kənˈtɪnjuz tɪ ˈproʊdus ˈfoʊni ˈstədiz frəm hɪz ˈkoʊzi pəˈzɪʃən æt ˈhɑˌspɪtəl ɪn kolding, wi ˌriˈpɔrtəd bæk ɪn 2011 ˈθɔrsən hæd ˈpriviəsli wərkt fər ðə ˈsiˌdiˈsi, ˈoʊvərˌsiɪŋ ˈmɪljənz əv ˈdɔlərz' wərθ əv grænt ˈməni ðət wi naʊ noʊ wɑz juzd tɪ prɑp əp ðə mɪθ ðət ˌvækˈsinz ər seɪf. ðə ˈsiˌdiˈsi hæd lɔŋ pərˈpɛʧəˌweɪtɪd ðɪs mɪθ, soʊ ɪt wɑz ɪn ðə ˈeɪʤənsiz bɛst ˈɪntərɪsts tɪ kwɛl ˈpəblɪk fɪrz baɪ ˈʤɛnərˌeɪtɪŋ ə ˈsɪriz əv ˈstədiz tɪ ðɪs wɑz ˈleɪtər kɔt ˈstilɪŋ ˈməni frəm ðə ˈsiˌdiˈsi ənd ˈjuzɪŋ ɪt ɪn hɪz hoʊm ˈkəntri əv ˈdɛnˌmɑrk tɪ ˈproʊdus ðə ˈɪnfəməs "ˈdɛnˌmɑrk ˈstədi," ðə ˈhoʊli greɪl ðət səˈpoʊzədli ˈsɛtəld, wəns ənd fər ɔl, ðə dəˈbeɪt. ɪkˈsɛpt ɪt ˈdɪdənt. ˈθɔrsən wɑz ˌɪnˈdaɪtɪd baɪ ə ˈfɛdərəl grænd ˈʤʊri ɪn æˈtlæntə, ˈʤɔrʤə, ɔn ˈʧɑrʤɪz əv waɪər frɔd, ˈməni ˈlɔndərɪŋ ənd dɪˈfrɔdɪŋ ˈrisərʧ ˌɪnstɪˈtuʃənz əv grænt wɑz mɔr ðən θri jɪrz əˈgoʊ, ənd ˈθɔrsən stɪl ˈhæzənt bɪn brɔt tɪ ˈʤəstɪs. ɛz ɪkˈspleɪnd baɪ, ˈθɔrsən ˈfeɪsɪz əp tɪ 260 jɪrz ɪn ˈprɪzən ənd ˈmɪljən ɪn faɪnz ɪf kənˈvɪktəd ɔn ɔl ˈʧɑrʤɪz. bət ɛz ɪt ˈkərəntli stændz, ˈθɔrsən rɪˈmeɪnz ə fri mæn æt list fər naʊ. wɪθ nu ˈɛvədəns ʃoʊɪŋ ˈræmpənt frɔd ənd ˈdætə məˌnɪpjəˈleɪʃən ɪn ˈəðər ˈstədiz æt ðə ˈsiˌdiˈsi, ˈʤəstɪs kʊd bi ɔn ðə wiv bɪn rɪˈpɔrtɪŋ ɪn ðə pæst fju deɪz, æt list θri tɔp ˈsiˌdiˈsi ˈsaɪəntɪsts ər naʊ ˈəndər ðə gən fər ðɛr ˌɪnˈvɑlvmənt ɪn ə 2003 ˈstədi ðət, θæŋks tɪ ə ki ˈwɪsəlˌbloʊər, həz bɪn ˈpruvən ˈfrɔʤələnt. laɪk ˈrisərʧ, ðɪs ˌpɑˈtɪkjələr ˈstədi hæd kleɪmd ðət noʊ lɪŋk ɪgˈzɪsts bɪtˈwin ˌvækˈsinz ənd ˈɔˌtɪzəm bət əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ˈdɑktər. ˈwɪljəm ˈtɑmsən, ən ˌɛpəˌdiˌmiˈɑləˌʤɪst hu wərkt ɔn bɪˈhæf əv ðə ˈsiˌdiˈsi tɪ ˌɪnˈvɛstəˌgeɪt ə pəˈtɛnʃəl lɪŋk bɪtˈwin ˌvækˈsinz ənd ˈɔˌtɪzəm, ˈdætə frəm ðɪs ˈstədi wɑz məˈnɪpjəˌleɪtɪd tɪ ˈkəvər əp wət həz naʊ bɪn kənˈfərmd tɪ bi ə dɪˈfɪnɪtɪv link."dr. fræŋk dɪstɛˈfɑnoʊ, ˈdɑktər. yeargin-allsop, ˈdɑktər. kɔˈlin bɔɪl ðeɪ nu," ɪkˈspleɪnz ˈdɑktər. ˈændru ˈweɪkˌfild ɪn ə nu fɪlm ɔn ðə ˈskændəl, rɪˈfərɪŋ tɪ ðə θri ˈsiˌdiˈsi ˈsaɪəntɪsts hu wər kəmˈplɪsət ɪn ðə ˈkəvərˌəp.

north carolina sues over law; sues back enlarge this image toggle caption chris news & via getty images chris news & via getty images updated at p.m. et after north carolina's governor filed a lawsuit asking federal courts to keep in place a controversial law that places limits on transgender access to bathrooms, the u.s. justice department responded with a lawsuit of its own. "we are filing a federal civil rights lawsuit against the state of north carolina, gov. pat mccrory, the north carolina department of public safety and the university of north carolina," attorney general loretta lynch said in a press conference monday. "we are seeking a court order declaring house bill restroom restriction discriminatory, as well as a statewide bar on its enforcement." the's response followed swiftly after north carolina filed its lawsuit. the state's legal filing came ahead of an deadline for north carolina to respond to the department of justice over the law barring protections for people in the state. "the obama administration is bypassing congress by attempting to rewrite the law and set restroom policies for public and private employers across the country, not just north carolina. this is now a national issue that applies to every state and it needs to be resolved at the federal level," north carolina gov. pat mccrory said in a statement about the filing. he said the lawsuit was an attempt to "clarify" national law. in a statement monday afternoon, mccrory also called for congress to chime in. "i think it's time for the u.s. congress to bring clarity to our national provisions," he said, repeating it twice for emphasis. lynch, however, said the federal laws concerning gender and gender discrimination are clear, and that north carolina's law is in violation. the state law in question, known as, requires transgender people at state facilities, including schools, to use the restroom that corresponds to the sex on their birth certificate not their identified gender. (the law also blocks local jurisdictions from passing their own ordinances, among other things.) telling transgender people that "history was on [their] side," lynch explained why north carolina's law posed such a threat to americans. she said: "this action is about a great deal more than just bathrooms. this is about the dignity and respect we accord our fellow citizens and the laws that we, as a people and as a country, have enacted to protect them indeed, to protect all of us. and it's about the founding ideals that have led this country haltingly but inexorably in the direction of fairness, inclusion and equality for all americans. "this is not the first time that we have seen discriminatory responses to historic moments of progress for our nation. we saw it in the jim crow laws that followed the emancipation proclamation. we saw it in fierce and widespread resistance to brown v. board of education. and we saw it in the proliferation of state bans on same-sex unions intended to stifle any hope that gay and lesbian americans might one day be afforded the right to marry." the, which said last week that the law violates the civil rights act and title, had set a monday afternoon deadline for the state to reply and say whether it intended to enact the law. lynch said the state requested an extension that was under active consideration. n.c.'s 'bathroom law' energizes voters on both sides of the issue listen "but instead of replying to our offer or providing a certification, this morning, the state of north carolina and its governor chose to respond by suing the department of justice," she said. in the state's lawsuit, the governor and another state official instead say the's position is a "radical reinterpretation" of the civil rights act and a "baseless and blatant overreach." mccrory's lawyers also say there's nothing discriminatory about the law. "north carolina does not treat transgender employees differently from employees," the lawsuit states. "all state employees are required to use the bathroom and changing facilities assigned to persons of their same biological sex, regardless of gender identity, or status." billions of dollars of federal funding may be at stake in the dispute. "while the lawsuit currently seeks declaratory relief, i want to note that we retain the option of curtailing federal funding to the north carolina department of public safety and the university of north carolina as this case proceeds," lynch said. but for now, npr's carrie johnson reports, the federal government is trying to reach "a resolution in which the state voluntarily complies." mccrory's office responded to the's lawsuit in a statement monday evening, saying north carolina is "appropriately seeking legal certainty to a complex issue impacting employers and students throughout the country." n.c. officials face deadline to change 'bathroom law' listen it also accused lynch of "using divisive rhetoric to advance the obama administration's strategy of making laws that bypass the constitutional authority of congress and our courts." toward the end of her remarks, lynch emphasized that the "fear of the unknown" and "discomfort with the uncertainty of change" can cause people to reject what they don't know. "this is a time to summon our national virtues of inclusivity, diversity, compassion and open-mindedness," she said. "what we must not do what we must never do is turn on our neighbors, our family members, our fellow americans, for something they cannot control, and deny what makes them human." additionally, top republican lawmakers in the north carolina legislature on monday filed their own lawsuit against the federal government monday addressing title of the civil rights act. this action is separate from the governor's filing against the justice department. a swiftly passed state law the law, which was passed over the course of 12 hours in a special session of the state legislature, was issued in response to a ordinance by the city of charlotte that would have established protections for people. that ordinance would have allowed trans people in charlotte to use the bathroom corresponding to their gender identity. the state bill nullified that charlotte ordinance and required all state facilities to go further and explicitly require that bathrooms be segregated according to sex as assigned at birth. "it's either a measure, or rooted in ignorance, depending on whom you ask," jeff of reported for npr's morning edition. the law has mobilized voters on both sides, says the conservative base as well as the law's opponents. "at least two corporations have decided not to expand here, well-known performers have canceled gigs, and even some elected officials have said this has damaged the state's economy and reputation," says. "and there's no consensus on which party this benefits the most." the rebuke from the department of justice said that the law violates the civil rights act, by discriminating against state employees, and title, by discriminating against students at state schools. in a letter to mccrory, the said that "the state is engaging in a pattern or practice of discrimination against transgender state employees." the department gave the governor until close of business monday to reply and say whether it will implement the law or remedy the violations. one of the sponsors of the law, north carolina state rep. paul stam, told npr's morning edition earlier monday that he expected mccrory to fight the department of justice on the issue. "that's what i would hope and expect him to do," stam said. stam also said he wasn't worried about the possibility that north carolina might lose federal funding over the law, saying it could take years for that process to happen. "the idea that this is some imminent threat is an empty one," he said. stam told npr the fact that the is citing the civil rights act which applies to companies with more than 15 employees means "this is no longer a threat against north carolina." "every business in the nation that employs more than 15 people is under threat ... that the federal government will sue them" if they don't permit trans employees to use the bathroom corresponding to their gender identity, stam says.	nɔrθ ˌkɛrəˈlaɪnə suz ˈoʊvər lɔ; suz bæk ˌɛnˈlɑrʤ ðɪs ˈɪmɪʤ ˈtɑgəl ˈkæpʃən krɪs nuz ˈviə ˈgɛti ˈɪmɪʤɪz krɪs nuz ˈviə ˈgɛti ˈɪmɪʤɪz ˈəpˌdeɪtɪd æt p.m. ɛt ˈæftər nɔrθ ˌkɛrəˈlaɪnəz ˈgəvərnər faɪld ə ˈlɔˌsut ˈæskɪŋ ˈfɛdərəl kɔrts tɪ kip ɪn pleɪs ə ˌkɑntrəˈvərʃəl lɔ ðət ˈpleɪsɪz ˈlɪmɪts ɔn ˈtrænzˈʤɛndər ˈækˌsɛs tɪ ˈbɑθˌrumz, ðə juz. ˈʤəstɪs dɪˈpɑrtmənt rɪˈspɑndɪd wɪθ ə ˈlɔˌsut əv ɪts oʊn.

with the division out today, ghost recon sneaking out before the end of the year and rainbow six: siege being the best multiplayer shooter in months, 2016 could be a great year for clancy-philes. but if not already up to date it can be daunting to look at picking your way through nearly two decades of games for the tactical gems so through every rainbow six game to find the ones worth your time and effort. a couple of ground rules: -no expansion packs. -no entries on either mobile or handheld platforms. -no games released only in south korea (sorry rainbow six: takedown) -where games differ between console and pc versions, unless specified talking about the pc version. this brings us to a nice round number. without further fanfare, pass judgement on our favorite series of tom clancy games.	wɪθ ðə dɪˈvɪʒən aʊt təˈdeɪ, goʊst ˈrikɔn sˈnikɪŋ aʊt ˌbiˈfɔr ðə ɛnd əv ðə jɪr ənd ˈreɪnˌboʊ sɪks: siʤ biɪŋ ðə bɛst ˈməltiˌpleɪər ˈʃutər ɪn mənθs, 2016 kʊd bi ə greɪt jɪr fər clancy-philes. bət ɪf nɑt ɔˈrɛdi əp tɪ deɪt ɪt kən bi ˈdɔntɪŋ tɪ lʊk æt ˈpɪkɪŋ jʊr weɪ θru ˈnɪrli tu ˈdɛkeɪdz əv geɪmz fər ðə ˈtæktɪkəl ʤɛmz soʊ θru ˈɛvəri ˈreɪnˌboʊ sɪks geɪm tɪ faɪnd ðə wənz wərθ jʊr taɪm ənd ˈɛfərt. ə ˈkəpəl əv graʊnd rulz: -noʊ ɪkˈspænʧən pæks. -noʊ ˈɛntriz ɔn ˈiðər ˈmoʊbəl ər ˈhænˈdhɛld ˈplætˌfɔrmz. -noʊ geɪmz riˈlist ˈoʊnli ɪn saʊθ ˌkɔˈriə (ˈsɑri ˈreɪnˌboʊ sɪks: takedown) -wɛr geɪmz ˈdɪfər bɪtˈwin ˈkɑnsoʊl ənd ˈpiˈsi ˈvərʒənz, ənˈlɛs ˈspɛsəˌfaɪd ˈtɔkɪŋ əˈbaʊt ðə ˈpiˈsi ˈvərʒən. ðɪs brɪŋz ˈjuˈɛs tɪ ə nis raʊnd ˈnəmbər. wɪˈθaʊt ˈfərðər ˈfænˌfɛr, pæs ˈʤəʤmənt ɔn ɑr ˈfeɪvərɪt ˈsɪriz əv tɑm ˈklænsi geɪmz.
key moments from president obama's speech the morning after congress passed a deal to raise the debt ceiling and reopen the government. (the washington post) a visibly frustrated president obama delivered a blunt message to republicans with whom he had feuded over the government shutdown and the debt ceiling over the past month on tuesday: elections matter. i won; you lost. deal with it. that's a paraphrase -- obviously. here's what obama actually said: "you don't like a particular policy or a particular president? then argue for your position. go out there and win an election. push to change it. but don't break it. don't break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building. that's not being faithful to what this country's about." "go out there and win an election." that's about as direct as you will ever hear a politician be about how he feels about his opposition and how they are conducting themselves. (it's not the first time obama has used the "i won" construct. remember the summit in early 2010 when obama told sen. john mccain (r-ariz.): "the election is over.") obama's argument comes down to this: he believes that the 2012 election -- in which he was reelected easily and democrats surprisingly picked up senate seats and won a handful of house seats -- was a clear signal that the american electorate prefers his vision for government to the one offered by republicans. he views that mandate as a broad one -- encompassing fiscal matters, health care, immigration and pretty much everything else. republicans, obviously, disagree vehemently with the "elections matter ... and i won" concept -- noting that they still control the house, which means that simply accepting obama's priorities in toto because he won reelection isn't representing their constituents well. (democrats make the counterpoint that while republicans control the house, they actually got fewer raw votes in 2012. true. but, that gets us into redistricting -- and that's a whole other can of worms we aren't opening in this blog post.) at the center of this disagreement -- policy differences aside -- is what it means to be the loyal opposition. obama believes that republicans have the right to his policies but only within the bounds of standard operating procedure on capitol hill. ("push to change it. but don't break it.") that sentiment, in truth, is probably shared by 80 (or so) house republicans -- including speaker john boehner. but, for the other 140 house -- including the four dozen or so committed tea party conservatives -- opposing the president and his policies means using any means necessary to do so. that includes a government shutdown and very nearly going past the deadline. for that group of 140, elections matter, too -- their elections. and, their constituents not only don't blanche at their tactics but embrace them. in many districts in the country, being involved in an effort to repeal -- even if it led to a government shutdown -- was a very good thing politically. obama's annoyance -- and call for cooperation -- then will fall on mostly deaf ears. it's hard to play a "fair" game when the two teams can't even agree on what the rules should be or what winning (and losing) looks like.	ki ˈmoʊmənts frəm ˈprɛzɪdənt ˌoʊˈbɑməz spiʧ ðə ˈmɔrnɪŋ ˈæftər ˈkɑŋgrəs pæst ə dil tɪ reɪz ðə dɛt ˈsilɪŋ ənd riˈoʊpən ðə ˈgəvərnmənt.

apple and advanced battery maker systems say they have nearly settled a federal lawsuit accusing apple of poaching’s scientists and engineers to build a competing battery business. the lawsuit, which was filed early this year, lifted the veil on the typically secretive inner workings at apple. it has added fuel to news reports that apple is researching the possibility of building an electric car, a project that apple has not confirmed. on tuesday, a federal judge granted more time to finalize the settlement with apple. in a court filing, the two sides reported that they “have reached an agreement, signed a term sheet, and are in the process of drafting a final settlement agreement.” apple had hinted at a possible settlement in earlier court filings. news of the settlement was first reported tuesday by xconomy. in its original lawsuit, said that former engineer ijaz had violated an agreement not to raid’s employee ranks after joining apple. ijaz and four other former employees were named as defendants in the lawsuit. a123 alleged that apple and ijaz were “systematically hiring away’s high-tech phd and engineering employees, thereby effectively shutting down various at,” and that apple was “currently developing a large scale battery division to compete in the very same field as.” apple had denied any wrongdoing in previous court filings, dismissing’s claims as “premised on baseless conjecture.” the apple lawsuit has provided another high-profile chapter in the saga of, a manufacturer that went public in 2009 but spiraled into bankruptcy after production missteps and a slowdown in the electric car market. is now owned by group, which purchased the company out of bankruptcy for about $257 million in late 2012. in early 2014, also purchased bankrupt maker automotive once a key customer and sold off’s battery business in a bid to refocus on the auto industry. a123 v. apple drafting settlement	ˈæpəl ənd ədˈvænst ˈbætəri ˈmeɪkər ˈsɪstəmz seɪ ðeɪ hæv ˈnɪrli ˈsɛtəld ə ˈfɛdərəl ˈlɔˌsut əˈkjuzɪŋ ˈæpəl əv ˈpoʊʧɪŋ ˈsaɪəntɪsts ənd ˈɛnʤəˈnɪrz tɪ bɪld ə kəmˈpitɪŋ ˈbætəri ˈbɪznɪs. ðə ˈlɔˌsut, wɪʧ wɑz faɪld ˈərli ðɪs jɪr, ˈlɪftɪd ðə veɪl ɔn ðə ˈtɪpɪkəli ˈsikrətɪv ˈɪnər ˈwərkɪŋz æt ˈæpəl. ɪt həz ˈædɪd fjuəl tɪ nuz rɪˈpɔrts ðət ˈæpəl ɪz riˈsərʧɪŋ ðə ˌpɑsəˈbɪləˌti əv ˈbɪldɪŋ ən ɪˈlɛktrɪk kɑr, ə ˈprɑʤɛkt ðət ˈæpəl həz nɑt kənˈfərmd. ɔn ˈtuzˌdeɪ, ə ˈfɛdərəl ʤəʤ ˈgrænɪd mɔr taɪm tɪ ˈfaɪnəˌlaɪz ðə ˈsɛtəlmənt wɪθ ˈæpəl. ɪn ə kɔrt ˈfaɪlɪŋ, ðə tu saɪdz ˌriˈpɔrtəd ðət ðeɪ riʧt ən əˈgrimənt, saɪnd ə tərm ʃit, ənd ər ɪn ðə ˈprɔˌsɛs əv ˈdræftɪŋ ə ˈfaɪnəl ˈsɛtəlmənt agreement.”.” ˈæpəl hæd ˈhɪnɪd æt ə ˈpɑsəbəl ˈsɛtəlmənt ɪn ˈərliər kɔrt ˈfaɪlɪŋz. nuz əv ðə ˈsɛtəlmənt wɑz fərst ˌriˈpɔrtəd ˈtuzˌdeɪ baɪ xconomy. ɪn ɪts ərˈɪʤənəl ˈlɔˌsut, sɛd ðət ˈfɔrmər ˈɛnʤəˈnɪr ˈɪʤəz hæd ˈvaɪəleɪtɪd ən əˈgrimənt nɑt tɪ reɪd ɪmˈplɔɪi ræŋks ˈæftər ˈʤɔɪnɪŋ ˈæpəl. ˈɪʤəz ənd fɔr ˈəðər ˈfɔrmər ɪmˈplɔɪiz wər neɪmd ɛz dɪˈfɛndənts ɪn ðə ˈlɔˌsut. əˈlɛʤd ðət ˈæpəl ənd ˈɪʤəz wər ˈhaɪrɪŋ əˈweɪ ˌhaɪˈtɛk ˈpiˌeɪʧˈdi ənd ˈɛnʤəˈnɪrɪŋ ɪmˈplɔɪiz, ˈðɛrˈbaɪ ˈifɛktɪvli ˈʃətɪŋ daʊn ˈvɛriəs æt ənd ðət ˈæpəl wɑz dɪˈvɛləpɪŋ ə lɑrʤ skeɪl ˈbætəri dɪˈvɪʒən tɪ kəmˈpit ɪn ðə ˈvɛri seɪm fild ɛz ˈæpəl hæd dɪˈnaɪd ˈɛni ˈrɔŋduɪŋ ɪn ˈpriviəs kɔrt ˈfaɪlɪŋz, dɪsˈmɪsɪŋ kleɪmz ɛz ɔn ˈbeɪsləs conjecture.”*.” ðə ˈæpəl ˈlɔˌsut həz prəˈvaɪdɪd əˈnəðər ˌhaɪˈproʊfaɪl ˈʧæptər ɪn ðə ˈsɑgə əv ə ˌmænjəˈfækʧərər ðət wɛnt ˈpəblɪk ɪn 2009 bət ˈspaɪrəld ˈɪntu ˈbæŋkrəptsi ˈæftər pərˈdəkʃən mɪˈstɛps ənd ə sˈloʊˌdaʊn ɪn ðə ɪˈlɛktrɪk kɑr ˈmɑrkɪt. ɪz naʊ oʊnd baɪ grup, wɪʧ ˈpərʧəst ðə ˈkəmpəˌni aʊt əv ˈbæŋkrəptsi fər əˈbaʊt 257 ˈmɪljən ɪn leɪt 2012 ɪn ˈərli 2014 ˈɔlsoʊ ˈpərʧəst ˈbæŋkrəpt ˈmeɪkər ˌɔtəˈmoʊtɪv wəns ə ki ˈkəstəmər ənd soʊld ɔf ˈbætəri ˈbɪznɪs ɪn ə bɪd tɪ riˈfoʊkəs ɔn ðə ˈɔtoʊ ˈɪndəstri. vi. ˈæpəl ˈdræftɪŋ ˈsɛtəlmənt

morehead, ky. (ap) after a five-day stint in jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, rowan county clerk kim davis will return to work as soon as friday to face another day of reckoning. the apostolic christian, now a symbol of strong religious conviction to thousands across the globe, would not say whether she would allow licenses to continue to be issued or try to block them once again, defying a federal court order that could send her back to jail. davis walked out of the carter county detention front door tuesday, with her lawyer and with republican presidential candidate mike huckabee as thousands of supporters cheered and waved white crosses backed by a church choir. some in the crowd sang “amazing grace” and “god bless america.” davis will take a couple of days off from work to spend with her family and will return to work friday or monday, according to an emailed statement from charla bansley, a spokeswoman for liberty counsel, the christian law firm representing davis. the statement did not say whether davis would allow her office to grant licenses. at 8 a.m. wednesday, her office at the rowan county courthouse in morehead opened as scheduled. three protesters were there, holding signs. deputy clerk brian mason said the office would issue licenses to anyone seeking them. he added that if davis returns to work and tells him to stop, tell her that he obey her order. in lifting the contempt order against davis, u.s. district judge david bunning said he was satisfied that her deputies were fulfilling their obligation to grant licenses to same-sex couples in her absence. but order was clear: if davis interferes with the issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples upon her return, she could go right back to jail. “i just want to give god the glory. his people have rallied, and you are a strong people,” the clerk told the crowd after stepping outside, her arms raised like a victorious boxer, to the blaring “rocky”-sequel theme song “eye of the tiger.” davis did not speak during a brief appearance in front of the news media seconds after her release, however, except to smile and nod when a reporter asked if her decision had been worth it since it landed her in jail. “kim cannot and will not violate her conscience,” said mat staver, founder of the liberty counsel, the christian law firm representing davis. as for whether she will issue licenses, staver said only: “you’ll find out in the near future.” staver said the licenses issued to same-sex couples by davis’ employees last week were not valid since they were not given under davis’ authority. but the kentucky attorney office said it believes otherwise. how davis will act could become clear as early as wednesday morning. at least one of the four couples that sued her have not yet received a marriage license. five of davis’ six deputy clerks all except her son, nathan agreed to issue licenses to gay couples with davis behind bars. in lifting the contempt order, bunning asked for updates on the clerks’ compliance every two weeks. on wednesday, deputy clerk mason said 10 marriage licenses had been issued since friday, in davis’ absence: eight friday and two tuesday and seven of those went to same-sex couples. scott, a law professor at the university of kentucky, said that if davis returns to work and orders her deputies not to issue licenses, she would push them into a thorny legal conundrum of their own: they would have to choose whether to defy a federal judge or defy their boss. suspects that any deputy who chooses not to issue licenses could be held in contempt. davis, 49, has refused to resign her $80,000-a-year job. as an elected official, she can lose her post only if she is defeated for or is impeached by the state general assembly. katherine franke, a professor at columbia law school, said the state legislature should find the political will to boot davis from office since she has ignored her oath of office in favor of her religious conviction. “the claim making is a clear loser. a political claim, not a legal claim,” franke said. “that’s why she lost on the district level and the circuit level and she will continue to lose. fighting for justice on the level of religious law. but we live in a theocracy.” it is unlikely the kentucky state legislature would impeach davis. the republican president of the state senate spoke at a rally at the state capitol and filed an amicus brief asking bunning not to hold davis in contempt of court for defying his order. several lawmakers have already filed legislation for the 2016 session that would exempt county clerks from having to issue marriage licenses. davis was locked up thursday for the boldest act of resistance by a public official yet to the u.s. supreme court ruling in june that effectively legalized same-sex marriage across the nation. citing “god’s authority” and her belief that gay marriage is a sin, davis stopped issuing all marriage licenses. two gay couples and two heterosexual ones sued her. bunning ordered davis to issue the licenses, and the supreme court backed him. but she still refused and was held in contempt of court and hauled off to jail in handcuffs, igniting protests from religious conservatives. they rallied for days at her office, at the jail and outside the home. dan canon, an attorney for the couples who sued, said they will ask the judge to again hold davis in contempt if she returns to work and blocks her deputies from dispensing licenses. “we are hoping she is going to comply with it. have to see,” canon said. “but if experience is a teacher, ms. davis just believe that court orders apply to her.” ___ associated press writer claire in louisville, kentucky, contributed to this report. copyright 2015

iamddb is the future. the rapping from manchester has been causing a stir for the past year with her and, so far, "shade", which she released only in august of this year, has had the biggest for its everyday life tales and hazy sonics. already a club spinner, decided she wanted to ramp it up a bit more, recruiting manchester master to bless "shade" with some early grime stabs and synths. "i was gassed when d asked me to have a going this tune," says. "i love this song, so it was a buzz to put my spin on it. this is long overdue too, as we're literally from the same musical family. the original is so sick there's nothing i could do to add to it being what it is, so i just put it in a totally different format and made it into an old-school grime tune. love to complex for hosting it and love to d for shouting me to flip it." "shade" appears on's latest project, vol. 3'. check it out here.	iamddb* ɪz ðə fˈjuʧər. ðə ˈræpɪŋ frəm ˈmænˌʧɛstər həz bɪn ˈkɔzɪŋ ə stər fər ðə pæst jɪr wɪθ hər ənd, soʊ fɑr, "ʃeɪd", wɪʧ ʃi riˈlist ˈoʊnli ɪn ˈɔgəst əv ðɪs jɪr, həz hæd ðə ˈbɪgəst fər ɪts ˈɛvriˈdeɪ laɪf teɪlz ənd ˈheɪzi ˈsɑnɪks. ɔˈrɛdi ə kləb ˈspɪnər, ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd ʃi ˈwɔntɪd tɪ ræmp ɪt əp ə bɪt mɔr, rɪˈkrutɪŋ ˈmænˌʧɛstər ˈmæstər tɪ blɛs "ʃeɪd" wɪθ səm ˈərli graɪm stæbz ənd synths.

photo via singh's facebook well, here we are at the tail end of the new democratic party's leadership race. it's been a long road since the party unceremoniously dumped tom in edmonton back in april 2016, but on october 1, we might find out who will be the standard bearer of canada's social democrats going into the 2019 election. (if there is no winner on that first ballot, the candidate is dropped and another round of voting begins again.) the identity of the future leader is obviously still up in the air, although the consensus among most media types seems to be that singh is the man to beat. of course, this has seemed like the consensus since he entered the there was much evidence for the argument, and even when there was some against it. (i was guilty of the same assumption the last time i wrote about the leadership race, as many of you were happy to point out; mea culpa.) so: does singh actually have the race sewn up, or can charlie angus, niki ashton, or guy caron still surprise us? it depends on a number of factors. the most important of these is the membership drive that wrapped up in august. as of last march, the only had about active members, down substantially from the nearly members involved in the 2012 leadership that put at the party's helm. an august poll of party members who had given the party more than $200—found charlie angus as the favourite of more than 40 percent, followed by niki ashton and guy caron. singh was dead last. it's not surprising that angus would be by the dipper set. longtime party strategist robin sears has suggested in the toronto star that the federal has been historically in choosing their leaders. this could play into angus' favour as a folksy, northern, rural when compared to singh, a trendy suburban upstart in a turban. it's also worth noting how singh's status as a visible racial and religious minority has repeatedly cropped up as a talking point over the course of the campaign. the high point was his shut down of a racist heckler at a campaign rally, which generated universal (if sometimes problematic) international acclaim. the low point is definitely the intense (and ongoing) discussions about whether or not his leadership would jeopardize the quebec wing of the party. bloc leader martine ouellet has even outright argued that putting the "visibly religious" singh at the head of the party would alienate staunchly secular french canada, although there are lots of reasons to believe that this is just posturing on her part. fellow leadership hopeful guy caron has also fired back saying that comments show that she has completely misunderstood the relationship between secularism and identity, which is a pretty withering charge to bring against a sovereigntist. at any rate, as far as the leadership vote itself goes, the quebec wing of the federal only registered over members, so it will have a marginal impact on the outcome of this race. resolving the party's problems in quebec will have to be a top priority whether or not singh is the winner, but it would be fairly intellectually lazy to assume that the man is "too that quebec voters are too that project to be dead on arrival. since we're back to talking about numbers: the party's membership rolls have swelled back up to as of the august cutoff date, which is just shy of where it was in 2012 when the was choosing canada's new opposition leader. it's unclear how many of those members have been signed up by each federal leadership campaign. there have also been provincial leadership races this year in manitoba and saskatchewan, which definitely brought in new memberships. singh's team have claimed more than new memberships, primarily in ontario and bc. the party has not yet verified those numbers, but as the kids say: huge if true. as john has observed in the globe and mail, winning lower mainland and suburban ontario can hand you a federal election victory. if singh has everything locked up in those two locales, it may already be game over. but beyond the numbers, the ideological temperament of the party will also be a factor. niki ashton is running as the only socialist candidate in the race, while singh appears more like who justin trudeau might be if he had genuine progressive convictions instead of his (increasingly trademark) cynical window dressing on neoliberalism. it's tough to say where the party's head is at these days, but if the overall of the is as as they say, it's hard to see the membership stampede as far left as ashton is positioning herself. "socialism" (so-called) may be in vogue among labour parties elsewhere in the world at the moment, but canada's have been shying away from the concept long before they struck it from their constitution in 2013. social democracy via parliamentary election is the name of the party's game; erstwhile revolutionaries need no longer apply. unless we get a north, the communist party of canada is probably what you're looking for, and to be honest they seem to have a lot more fun. ultimately, if it does all come down to a pure numbers game, and singh's campaign is right in its estimates, then it's possible the race could be called after the first ballot. but the has been full of surprises (both good and bad) for well over a decade now, so there's no telling what might actually play out when they announce the results this sunday. follow drew brown on twitter.	ˈfoʊˌtoʊ ˈviə sɪŋz ˈfeɪsˌbʊk wɛl, hir wi ər æt ðə teɪl ɛnd əv ðə nu ˌdɛməˈkrætɪk ˈpɑrtiz ˈlidərˌʃɪp reɪs. ɪts bɪn ə lɔŋ roʊd sɪns ðə ˈpɑrti ˌənˌsɛrəˈmoʊniəsli dəmpt tɑm ɪn ˈɛdməntən bæk ɪn ˈeɪprəl 2016 bət ɔn ɑkˈtoʊbər 1 wi maɪt faɪnd aʊt hu wɪl bi ðə ˈstændərd ˈbɛrər əv ˈkænədəz ˈsoʊʃəl ˈdɛməˌkræts goʊɪŋ ˈɪntu ðə 2019 ɪˈlɛkʃən.

a petition has been launched to remove the "x-men" director from division of cinema and media studies. a twitter user going by the name justin smith alleged out director bryan singer made unwanted sexual advances on him when he was underage. in a massive, message sent on november 1, smith claimed singer asked to see his penis and “tried to shove his finger inside me.” vcg/vcg via getty images “he had his other hand clamped on my shoulder so i immediately move away,” he wrote. “he penetrated me for a split second before i shoved him away.” when smith told singer he wanted to go home, the filmmaker allegedly told him “i’d better not tell anyone because no one would believe me anyway.” (you can read the full here.) smith says he believes other claims of sexual assault against singer and said he “would’ve loudly objected to what i saw happening.” since then, twitter account has been deactivated and a story about the accusations originally appearing on yahoo news was taken down. but the charges received renewed attention when actress jessica chastain another story about them. (chastain is actually working with singer in the upcoming x-men: dark phoenix.) let us not forget jessica chastain (@jes_chastain) november 4, 2017 “i do not feel beholden to anything,” she told the daily beast. “i’m going to speak my mind about any injustice that i see. not afraid of anything in terms of that… the greatest myth that an industry can create is to make people feel like easily replaceable. not going to allow that into my life.” in 1997 singer was accused of asking a extra and other minors to film a nude shower scene in apt pupil. an ensuing lawsuit was dismissed, though, as were two later sexual assault cases alleging singer assaulted minors. maybe now is a good time to to expose on bryan singer and the gary goddard posse stephanie tinsley (@agenttinsley) october 30, 2017 in a controversial interview with vulture last year, out real star noah galvin claimed singer “likes to invite little boys over to his pool and them in the fucking dark of night.” (galvin later apologized to singer and vulture removed the quote, writing “this is a contentious issue, and after consideration, we decided to delete the reference.”) but the renewed discussion about sexual predators in hollywood has increased scrutiny: this week, students at the university of southern school of cinematic arts launched a petition to remove name from from the division of cinema and media studies. “it is completely unacceptable that this prestigious department within our school still carries the name of bryan singer, a man accused multiple times of sexual harassment, assault, and pedophilia,” the petition reads in part. usc usc recently refused a donation from harvey weinstein following allegations of his sexual misconduct. singer transferred to’s film school from in new york in the late ’80s. “our university should promote education, respect, and consent, as well as prepare its students to be model members of the and entertainment communities, and this continued relationship with mr. singer publicly negates those values.” to date, the petition has garnered more than signatures.	ə pəˈtɪʃən həz bɪn lɔnʧt tɪ riˈmuv ðə "x-men" dɪˈrɛktər frəm dɪˈvɪʒən əv ˈsɪnəmə ənd ˈmidiə ˈstədiz. ə tˈwɪtər ˈjuzər goʊɪŋ baɪ ðə neɪm ˈʤəstɪn smɪθ əˈlɛʤd aʊt dɪˈrɛktər braɪən ˈsɪŋər meɪd ənˈwɔntɪd ˈsɛkʃuəl ədˈvænsɪz ɔn ɪm wɪn hi wɑz ˈəndərɪʤ. ɪn ə ˈmæsɪv, ˈmɛsɪʤ sɛnt ɔn noʊˈvɛmbər 1 smɪθ kleɪmd ˈsɪŋər æst tɪ si hɪz ˈpinɪs ənd tɪ ʃəv hɪz ˈfɪŋgər ˌɪnˈsaɪd me.”.” ˈviə ˈgɛti ˈɪmɪʤɪz hæd hɪz ˈəðər hænd klæmpt ɔn maɪ ˈʃoʊldər soʊ aɪ ˌɪˈmiˌdiətli muv away,”,” hi roʊt. ˈpɛnəˌtreɪtɪd mi fər ə splɪt ˈsɛkənd ˌbiˈfɔr aɪ ʃəvd ɪm away.”.” wɪn smɪθ toʊld ˈsɪŋər hi ˈwɔntɪd tɪ goʊ hoʊm, ðə ˈfɪlˌmeɪkər əˈlɛʤədli toʊld ɪm ˈbɛtər nɑt tɛl ˈɛniˌwən bɪˈkəz noʊ wən wʊd bɪˈliv mi anyway.”.” (ju kən rɛd ðə fʊl hir.) smɪθ sɪz hi bɪˈlivz ˈəðər kleɪmz əv ˈsɛkʃuəl əˈsɔlt əˈgɛnst ˈsɪŋər ənd sɛd hi ˈlaʊdli əˈbʤɛktəd tɪ wət aɪ sɔ happening.”.” sɪns ðɛn, tˈwɪtər əˈkaʊnt həz bɪn ˌdiˈæktɪˌveɪtɪd ənd ə ˈstɔri əˈbaʊt ðə ˌækjəˈzeɪʃənz ərˈɪʤənəli əˈpɪrɪŋ ɔn ˈjɑˌhu nuz wɑz ˈteɪkən daʊn. bət ðə ˈʧɑrʤɪz rɪˈsivd rɪˈnud əˈtɛnʃən wɪn ˈæktrəs ˈʤɛsɪkə ʃəˈsteɪn əˈnəðər ˈstɔri əˈbaʊt ðɛm.

late last month when motorola announced the moto force, fans were taken aback when the company said that the handset would cost about $800 when purchased unlocked, a whole $100 more than last model. motorola has now apparently silently dropped the price down to $720… amazon kindle when first made available for pre-order, motorola listed the force for $799 if bought outright or $33.33 a month for 24 months if financed. now, motorola is offering the for either $720 outright or $30 a month for 24 months. this price includes a free moto mod projector when and makes it the cheapest option for those looking to purchase the moto force. while there is a chance that carriers could lower their rates, most have yet to do so. as it stands now, verizon is offering the device for $15 a month for 24 months (for a promo, $31.50 normally) or $756 outright, will sell it for $27 per month for 30 months, and t-mobile has the price set at $30 a month for 24 months or $750 outright. all three carriers are also offering to throw in a free moto mod projector but t-mobile is also offering a buy one, get one for free deal on the force.

erasmus darwin, (born dec. 12, 1731, elston hall, nottinghamshire, april 18, 1802, priory, derby, derbyshire), british physician, poet, and botanist noted for his republican politics and materialistic theory of evolution. although today he is best known as the grandfather of naturalist charles darwin and of biologist sir francis galton, erasmus darwin was an important figure of the enlightenment in his own right. education and early interests the son of a nottingham lawyer, darwin studied classics and mathematics at st. college, cambridge, and then engaged in three years of medical training at the university of edinburgh. he moved to lichfield, staffordshire, in 1756, where he ran a flourishing medical practice and was elected a fellow of the royal society (1761). his first wife, mary howard, died in 1770, leaving three surviving sons, two of whom subsequently died. but the youngest, physician robert waring darwin, married the daughter of close friend, english craftsman and scientific entrepreneur josiah wedgwood. the young fifth son was charles darwin, who would later write the influential work on the origin of species (1859). in the early erasmus darwin had two illegitimate daughters with governess, mary parker. in 1781 erasmus married a young widow, elizabeth pole, who insisted that he move to her home in derby, where he started writing scientific poetry and textbooks. together they had seven children; their eldest daughter was the mother of francis galton, who in the late century would found the science of eugenics. major early interests were medicine and invention, but in the late he became fascinated by botany. he translated textbooks and composed “the loves of the plants” (1789), which mainly comprises elaborate footnoted verses extolling swedish botanist carolus system. an immediate success, this erotic dramatization was later as the sequel to a poem called “the economy of vegetation” (1791) in the the botanic garden (1791). a related poetic work, “the temple of nature” (1803), appeared posthumously. both this latter work and the botanic garden were strikingly illustrated by william blake and henry fuseli. influence and later works the overriding characteristic of work is his commitment to progress. as a member of the lunar society, an informal yet influential group of scientific entrepreneurs involved in early industrialization, darwin encountered and influenced reformers keen to improve society through science, industry, education, and political change. as well as inventing windmills, carriages, and other mechanical devices, darwin helped to transform british manufacturing by promoting canal systems and the use of steam power. he invested in development projects and celebrated in flamboyant heroic the technological innovations of factory owners, such as josiah wedgwood, matthew boulton, and thomas arkwright. similarly, darwin sought progress through introducing scientific techniques into agriculture. in (1800) his recommendations included chemical fertilizers and other innovations for ripening seeds, enlarging fruit, and improving timber characteristics. medical historians celebrate darwin for his (or the laws of organic life;), an ambitious work aiming to classify facts about animals, to set out laws describing organic life, and to catalog diseases with their treatments. unlike some contemporary physicians, darwin endorsed active intervention with drugs and mechanical apparatus; some historians trace modern psychosomatic therapeutic approaches to his insistence on integrating mind and body. however, objected to’s rejection of biblical chronology and still more strongly to materialist suggestion that in the great length of time, since the earth began to it be too bold to imagine, that all animals have arisen from one living the faculty of continuing to improve by its own inherent activity, and of delivering down those improvements by generation to its posterity. darwin also sought social reform. aiming to improve girls’ education, he helped his two illegitimate daughters run a boarding school and published the influential work a plan for the conduct of female education (1797). openly aligning himself with british author thomas day and other political radicals who supported the french revolution and campaigned for the abolition of slavery, darwin attracted hostility from british antirepublicans. in particular, an extended satire on the possibilities of progress and human evolution that was published in the political journal the prompted darwin to delay and revise what became “the temple of nature.” subtitled “the origin of society,” this final work brought together and expanded the evolutionary ideas that darwin had been gradually developing throughout his life. supported by exceptionally long notes, this poem presents human achievements as the culmination of innate progressive forces. in optimistic vision, virtue and reason triumph in the constant battle against the death and destruction necessary to prevent explosive growth.	ɪˈræzməs ˈdɑrwɪn, (bɔrn dɛk. 12 1731 ɪlˈstɑn hɔl, nottinghamshire, ˈeɪprəl 18 1802 ˈpraɪəri, ˈdərbi, ˈdərbiˌʃər), ˈbrɪtɪʃ fəˈzɪʃən, poʊət, ənd ˈbɑtənɪst ˈnoʊtɪd fər hɪz rɪˈpəblɪkən ˈpɑləˌtɪks ənd məˌtɪriəˈlɪstɪk ˈθɪri əv ˌɛvəˈluʃən. ˌɔlˈðoʊ təˈdeɪ hi ɪz bɛst noʊn ɛz ðə ˈgrænˌfɑðər əv ˈnæʧərələst ˈʧɑrəlz ˈdɑrwɪn ənd əv baɪˈɑləʤɪst sər ˈfrænsɪs ˈgæltən, ɪˈræzməs ˈdɑrwɪn wɑz ən ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt ˈfɪgjər əv ðə ˌɛnˈlaɪtənmənt ɪn hɪz oʊn raɪt. ˌɛʤəˈkeɪʃən ənd ˈərli ˈɪntərɪsts ðə sən əv ə ˈnɑtɪŋˌhæm ˈlɔjər, ˈdɑrwɪn ˈstədid ˈklæsɪks ənd ˌmæθəˈmætɪks æt st. ˈkɑlɪʤ, ˈkeɪmbrɪʤ, ənd ðɛn ɪnˈgeɪʤd ɪn θri jɪrz əv ˈmɛdɪkəl ˈtreɪnɪŋ æt ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti əv ˈɛdənbəroʊ. hi muvd tɪ lichfield, ˈstæfərdˌʃaɪər, ɪn 1756 wɛr hi ræn ə ˈflərɪʃɪŋ ˈmɛdɪkəl ˈpræktɪs ənd wɑz ɪˈlɛktɪd ə ˈfɛloʊ əv ðə rɔɪəl soʊˈsaɪɪti 1761 hɪz fərst waɪf, ˈmɛri haʊərd, daɪd ɪn 1770 ˈlivɪŋ θri sərˈvaɪvɪŋ sənz, tu əv hum ˈsəbsəkwəntli daɪd. bət ðə ˈjəŋgəst, fəˈzɪʃən ˈrɑbərt ˈwɛrɪŋ ˈdɑrwɪn, ˈmɛrid ðə ˈdɔtər əv kloʊz frɛnd, ˈɪŋlɪʃ ˈkræftsmən ənd ˌsaɪənˈtɪfɪk ˌɑntrəprəˈnʊr ʤoʊˈsaɪə ˈwɛʤˌwʊd. ðə jəŋ fɪθ sən wɑz ˈʧɑrəlz ˈdɑrwɪn, hu wʊd ˈleɪtər raɪt ðə ˌɪnfluˈɛnʃəl wərk ɔn ðə ˈɔrəʤən əv ˈspiʃiz 1859 ɪn ðə ˈərli ɪˈræzməs ˈdɑrwɪn hæd tu ˌɪlɪˈʤɪtəmɪt ˈdɔtərz wɪθ ˈgəvərnəs, ˈmɛri ˈpɑrkər. ɪn 1781 ɪˈræzməs ˈmɛrid ə jəŋ ˈwɪdoʊ, ɪˈlɪzəbɪθ poʊl, hu ˌɪnˈsɪstɪd ðət hi muv tɪ hər hoʊm ɪn ˈdərbi, wɛr hi ˈstɑrtɪd ˈraɪtɪŋ ˌsaɪənˈtɪfɪk ˈpoʊətri ənd ˈtɛkstˌbʊks. təˈgɛðər ðeɪ hæd ˈsɛvən ˈʧɪldrən;

a: they're basically the same. first of all, you need to add all this stuff to the red to be ready to shoot: second of all, the list price of the canon eos is $20,000. once it hits retailers like photo, that will come down. let's take its closest competitor, the sony, as an example: the camera's list price is $16,800, but is selling it for $13,960 ($13,160 after a rebate). so let's take 20% as the estimated street discount, which brings the $20k camera down to $16k (which has also been a reported selling price of the -- probably due to confusion between and street). the red lists for $9,750 and that is direct from red: no discounts. however, that is a "brain only" price (though it comes with a recording module, canon lens mount, and ac adapter). after december 31st, in fact, the prices will go up. but if you include the prices of the things you'll need to shoot in each cameras' most basic configuration, many all of these things are included with the canon but not with the red. (a couple of them are not included with the canon either, where noted). camera body lens mount side handle (red +$950) viewfinder/screen 5" is $1,600, though it's probably nicer than the canon's evf) media module media for 1 hour of footage (a cheap $100 card for the canon, but two $950s for the red) media reader (a cheap $50 reader for the canon, but a $250 for the red) battery charger (an extra $150 for the red, though i'm not clear on whether the included ac adapter can also charge batteries) batteries for a few hours of shooting (an extra $150 battery for the canon, three $195 for the red) this brings the red up to an even $15k. as you get into more realistic battery and media numbers -- i included the absolute minimum above -- the becomes more expensive than the. which is to say nothing of the fact that the's files require much less computer power to edit and process in post than do the files (thus more expense on the for the red).us, i'm betting the canon will be better in low light situations, which makes your necessary lighting budget lower (though just because you can shoot without lights does not mean you should). finally, while some pointed out during yesterday's brouhaha that "the red will be available sooner," that remains to be seen -- november (for the mount version) and december (for the canon mount) dates are for when the starts shipping. history is not one of shipping on time (not in any real quantity, at least), and on top of that some of the required accessories are backordered, so by the time you're able to get your hands on a full kit, i'm betting the will be shipping in volume. certainly by the time red has all of the features enabled -- including a basic ability likeaying back the footage (yes, this is not currently possible with the $28,000 epic) -- you can bet the will be out in the wild. i'm not my decision to order a, but let's not pretend that the red will be ready to shoot for $10k on december. for all intents and purposes, both of these cameras are $16k (without lenses), and both of them are shipping in 2012. but only one of being used to shoot the hobbit in 3d! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghf536tj0ie update: some of the comments here and elsewhere have caused me to write why i'm ordering a red, and how it relates to my feature 'man-child.' hopefully that clarifies things.	ə: ðɛr ˈbeɪsɪkli ðə seɪm. fərst əv ɔl, ju nid tɪ æd ɔl ðɪs stəf tɪ ðə rɛd tɪ bi ˈrɛdi tɪ ʃut: ˈsɛkənd əv ɔl, ðə lɪst praɪs əv ðə ˈkænən iɔs ɪz wəns ɪt hɪts ˈriˌteɪlərz laɪk ˈfoʊˌtoʊ, ðət wɪl kəm daʊn. lɛts teɪk ɪts ˈkloʊsəst kəmˈpɛtɪtər, ðə ˈsoʊni ɛz ən ɪgˈzæmpəl: ðə ˈkæmrəz lɪst praɪs ɪz bət ɪz ˈsɛlɪŋ ɪt fər ˈæftər ə ˈriˌbeɪt). soʊ lɛts teɪk 20 ɛz ðə ˈɛstəˌmeɪtɪd strit ˈdɪskaʊnt, wɪʧ brɪŋz ðə ˈkæmərə daʊn tɪ (wɪʧ həz ˈɔlsoʊ bɪn ə ˌriˈpɔrtəd ˈsɛlɪŋ praɪs əv ðə ˈprɑbəˌbli du tɪ kənfˈjuʒən bɪtˈwin ənd strit). ðə rɛd lɪsts fər ənd ðət ɪz dɪˈrɛkt frəm rɛd: noʊ ˈdɪˌskaʊnts. ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ðət ɪz ə "breɪn ˈoʊnli" praɪs (ðoʊ ɪt kəmz wɪθ ə rɪˈkɔrdɪŋ ˈmɑʤul, ˈkænən lɛnz maʊnt, ənd ˈeɪˈsi əˈdæptər). ˈæftər dɪˈsɛmbər 31st, ɪn fækt, ðə ˈpraɪsɪz wɪl goʊ əp. bət ɪf ju ˌɪnˈklud ðə ˈpraɪsɪz əv ðə θɪŋz jul nid tɪ ʃut ɪn iʧ ˈkæmərəz' moʊst ˈbeɪsɪk kənˌfɪgjərˈeɪʃən, ˈmɛni ɔl əv ðiz θɪŋz ər ˌɪnˈkludɪd wɪθ ðə ˈkænən bət nɑt wɪθ ðə rɛd.

learn perl in about 2 hours 30 minutes perl is a dynamic, dynamically-typed, high-level, (interpreted) language most comparable with and python. syntax owes a lot to ancient shell tools, and it is famed for its overuse of confusing symbols, the majority of which are impossible to google for. shell heritage makes it great for writing glue code: scripts which link together other scripts and programs. perl is ideally suited for processing text data and producing more text data. perl is widespread, popular, highly portable and well-supported. perl was designed with the philosophy "there's more than one way to do it" (tmtowtdi) (contrast with python, where "there should be one - and preferably only one - obvious way to do it"). perl has horrors, but it also has some great redeeming features. in this respect it is like every other programming language ever created. this document is intended to be informative, not evangelical. it is aimed at people who, like me: dislike the official perl documentation at http://perl.org/ for being intensely technical and giving far too much space to very unusual edge cases learn new programming languages most quickly by "axiom and example" wish larry wall would get to the point already know how to program in general terms don't care about perl beyond what's necessary to get the job done. this document is intended to be as short as possible, but no shorter. preliminary notes the following can be said of almost every statement in this document: "that's not, strictly speaking, true; the situation is actually a lot more complicated". if you see a serious lie, point it out, but i reserve the right to preserve certain critical lies-to-children. throughout this document i'm using example print statements to output data but not explicitly line breaks. this is done to prevent me from going crazy and to give greater attention to the actual string being printed in each case, which is invariably more important. in many examples, this results in if the code is run in reality. try to ignore this. hello world a perl script is a text file with the extension . here's the full text of : use strict; use warnings; print "hello world"; perl scripts are interpreted by the perl interpreter, perl or : perl ...]]] a few immediate notes. syntax is highly permissive and it will allow you to do things which result in statements with unpredictable behaviour. there's no point in me explaining what these behaviours are, because you want to avoid them. the way to avoid them is to put use strict; use warnings; at the very top of every perl script or module that you create. statements of the form use foo; are pragmas. a pragma is a signal to , which takes effect when initial validation is being performed, before the program starts running. these lines have no effect when the interpreter encounters them at run time. the semicolon, ; , is the statement terminator. the symbol # begins a comment. a comment lasts until the end of the line. perl has no block comment syntax. variables perl variables come in three types:, arrays and hashes. each type has its own sigil: $ , @ and % respectively. variables are declared using my , and remain in scope until the end of the enclosing block or file. scalar variables a scalar variable can contain: undef (corresponds to none in python, null in) (corresponds to in python, in) a number (perl does not distinguish between an integer and a float) a string a reference to any other variable. my =; print; # prints the empty string "" and raises a warning # implicit: my2; print2; # prints "" and raises exactly the same warning my =; print; # "4040.5" my $string = "world"; print $string; # "world" (references are coming up shortly.) string concatenation using the . operator (same as): print "hello ".$string; # "hello world" "booleans" perl has no boolean data type. a scalar in an if statement evaluates to boolean "false" if and only if it is one of the following: undef number 0 string "" string "0" . the perl documentation repeatedly claims that functions return "true" or "false" values in certain situations. in practice, when a function is claimed to return "true" it usually returns 1 , and when it is claimed to return false it usually returns the empty string, "" . weak typing it is impossible to determine whether a scalar contains a "number" or a "string". more precisely, it should never be necessary to do this. whether a scalar behaves like a number or a string depends on the operator with which it is used. when used as a string, a scalar will behave like a string. when used as a number, a scalar will behave like a number (raising a warning if this isn't possible): my = "4g"; my = "4h"; print .; # "4g4h" print +; # "8" with two warnings print; # "" (empty string, i.e. false) print ==; # "1" with two warnings # the classic error print "yes" == "no"; # "1" with two warnings; both values evaluate to 0 when used as numbers the lesson is to always using the correct operator in the correct situation. there are separate operators for comparing as numbers and comparing as strings: array variables an array variable is a list of indexed by integers beginning at 0. in python this is known as a list, and in this is known as an array. an array is declared using a list of: my @array = ( "print", "these", "strings", "out", "for", "me", # trailing comma is okay ); you have to use a dollar sign to access a value from an array, because the value being retrieved is not an array but a scalar: print]; # "print" print]; # "these" print]; # "strings" print]; # "out" print]; # "for" print]; # "me" print]; # returns, prints "" and raises a warning you can use negative indices to retrieve entries starting from the end and working backwards: print]; # "me" print]; # "for" print]; # "out" print]; # "strings" print]; # "these" print]; # "print" print]; # returns, prints "" and raises a warning there is no collision between a scalar and an array containing a scalar entry[0] . there may, however, be reader confusion, so avoid this. to get an length: print "this array has ".(scalar @array)."elements"; # "this array has 6 elements" print "the last populated index is ".$#array; # "the last populated index is 5" the arguments with which the original perl script was invoked are stored in the built-in array variable . variables can be interpolated into strings: print "hello $string"; # "hello world" print "@array"; # "print these strings out for me" caution. one day you will put somebody's email address inside a string, "jeff@gmail.com" . this will cause perl to look for an array variable called to interpolate into the string, and not find it, resulting in a error. can be prevented in two ways: by the sigil, or by using single quotes instead of double quotes. print "hello \$string"; # "hello $string" print 'hello $string'; # "hello $string" print "\@array"; # "@array" print '@array'; # "@array" hash variables a hash variable is a list of indexed by strings. in python this is known as a dictionary, and in it is known as an array. my %scientists = ( "newton" => "isaac", "einstein" => "albert", "darwin" => "charles", ); notice how similar this declaration is to an array declaration. in fact, the double arrow symbol => is called a "fat comma", because it is just a synonym for the comma separator. a hash is declared using a list with an even number of elements, where the elements (0, 2, ...) are all taken as strings. once again, you have to use a dollar sign to access a value from a hash, because the value being retrieved is not a hash but a scalar: print $scientists{"newton"}; # "isaac" print $scientists{"einstein"}; # "albert" print $scientists{"darwin"}; # "charles" print $scientists{"dyson"}; # returns, prints "" and raises a warning note the braces used here. again, there is no collision between a scalar and a hash containing a scalar entry{"foo"} . you can convert a hash straight to an array with twice as many entries, alternating between key and value (and the reverse isually easy): my @scientists = %scientists; however, unlike an array, the keys of a hash have no underlying order. they will be returned in whatever order is more efficient. so, notice the rearranged order but preserved pairs in the resulting array: print "@scientists"; # something like "einstein albert darwin charles newton isaac" to recap, you have to use square brackets to retrieve a value from an array, but you have to use braces to retrieve a value from a hash. the square brackets are effectively a numerical operator and the braces are effectively a string operator. the fact that the index supplied is a number or a string is of absolutely no significance: my $data = "orange"; my @data = ("purple"); my %data = ( "0" => "blue"); print $data; # "orange" print]; # "purple" print"]; # "purple" print}; # "blue" print"}; # "blue" lists a list in perl is a different thing again from either an array or a hash. you've just seen several lists: ( "print", "these", "strings", "out", "for", "me", ) ( "newton" => "isaac", "einstein" => "albert", "darwin" => "charles", ) a list is not a variable. a list is an ephemeral value which can be assigned to an array or a hash variable. this is why the syntax for declaring array and hash variables is identical. there are many situations where the terms "list" and "array" can be used interchangeably, but there areually many where lists and arrays display subtly different and extremely confusing behaviour. okay. remember that => is just , in disguise and then look at this example: ("one", 1, "three", 3, "five", 5) ("one" => 1, "three" => 3, "five" => 5) the use of => hints that one of these lists is an array declaration and the other is a hash declaration. but on their own, neither of them are declarations of anything. they are just lists. identical lists. also: () there aren't even hints here. this list could be used to declare an empty array or an empty hash and the perl interpreter clearly has no way of telling either way. once you understand this odd aspect of perl, you will also understand why the following fact must be true: list values cannot be nested. try it: my @array = ( "apples", "bananas", ( "inner", "list", "several", "entries", ), "cherries", ); perl has no way of knowing whether ("inner", "list", "several", "entries") is supposed to be an inner array or an inner hash. therefore, perl assumes that it is neither and the list out into a single long list: print]; # "apples" print]; # "bananas" print]; # "inner" print]; # "list" print]; # "several" print]; # "entries" print]; # "cherries" the same is true whether the fat comma is used or not: my %hash = ( "beer" => "good", "bananas" => ( "green" => "wait", "yellow" => "eat", ), ); # the above raises a warning because the hash was declared using a list print $hash{"beer"}; # "good" print $hash{"bananas"}; # "green" print $hash{"wait"}; # "yellow"; print $hash{"eat"}; #, so prints "" and raises a warning of course, this does make it easy to concatenate multiple arrays together: my @bones = ("humerus", ("jaw", "skull"), "tibia"); my @fingers = ("thumb", "index", "middle", "ring", "little"); my @parts = (@bones, @fingers, ("foot", "toes"), "eyeball", "knuckle"); print @parts; more on this shortly. context perl's most distinctive feature is that its code is context-sensitive. every expression in perl is evaluated either in scalar context or list context, depending on whether it is expected to produce a scalar or a list. without knowing the context in which an expression is evaluated, it is impossible to determine what it will evaluate to. a scalar assignment such as my $scalar = evaluates its expression in scalar context. here, the expression is "mendeleev" : my $scalar = "mendeleev"; an array or hash assignment such as my @array = or my %hash = evaluates its expression in list context. here, the expression is ("alpha", "beta", "gamma", "pie") (or ("alpha" => "beta", "gamma" => "pie") , the two areuivalent): my @array = ("alpha", "beta", "gamma", "pie"); my %hash = ("alpha" => "beta", "gamma" => "pie"); a scalar expression evaluated in list context is silently converted into a list: my @array = "mendeleev"; # same as 'my @array = ("mendeleev");' an array expression evaluated in scalar context returns the length of the array: my @array = ("alpha", "beta", "gamma", "pie"); my $scalar = @array; print $scalar; # "4" a list expression (a list is different from an array, remember?) evaluated in scalar context returns not the length of the list but the final scalar in the list: my $scalar = ("alpha", "beta", "gamma", "pie"); print $scalar; # "pie" the print built-in function evaluates all of its arguments in list context. in fact, print accepts an unlimited list of arguments and prints each one after the other, which means it can be used to print arrays directly: my @array = ("alpha", "beta", "goo"); my $scalar = "-x-"; print @array; # "alphabetagoo"; print $scalar, @array, 98; #"; caution. many perl expressions and built-in functions display radically different behaviour depending on the context in which they are evaluated. the most prominent example is the function reverse . in list context, reverse treats its arguments as a list, and reverses the list. in scalar context, reverse concatenates the whole list together and then reverses it as a single word. print reverse "hello world"; # "hello world" my $string = reverse "hello world"; print $string; # olleh" you can force any expression to be evaluated in scalar context using the scalar built-in function: print scalar reverse "hello world"; # olleh" remember how we used scalar earlier, to get the length of an array? references and nested data structures in the same way that lists cannot contain lists as elements, arrays and hashes cannot contain other arrays and hashes as elements. they can only contain. watch what happens when we try: my @outer = ("sun", "mercury", "venus",, "mars"); my @inner = ("earth", "moon");] = @inner; print]; # "2" $outer[3] is a scalar, so it demands a scalar value. when you try to assign an array value like @inner to it, @inner is evaluated in scalar context. this is the same as assigning scalar @inner , which is the length of array @inner , which is 2. however, a scalar variable may contain a reference to any variable, including an array variable or a hash variable. this is how more complicated data structures are created in perl. a reference is created using a backslash. my $colour = "indigo"; my = \$colour; any time you would use the name of a variable, you can instead just put some braces in, and, within the braces, put a reference to a variable instead. print $colour; # "indigo" print; # e.g.)" print ${ }; # "indigo" as long as the result is not ambiguous, you can omit the braces too: print $$scalarref; # "indigo" if your reference is a reference to an array or hash variable, you can get data out of it using braces or using the more popular arrow operator, -> : my = ("red", "orange", "yellow", "green", "blue"); my = \@colours; print]; # direct array access print ${ }[0]; # use the reference to get to the array print->[0]; # exactly the same thing my = ("hydrogen" =>, "helium" =>, "manganese" =>); my = \%atomicweights; print $atomicweights{"helium"}; # direct hash access print ${ }{"helium"}; # use a reference to get to the hash print->{"helium"}; # exactly the same thing - this is very common declaring a data structure here are four examples, but in practice the last one is the most useful. my = ( "name" => "santa claus", "dob" => "1882-12-25", ); my =; my = ( "name" => "mickey mouse", "dob" => "1928-11-18", ); my =; my @owners = (, ); my = \@owners; my %account = ( "number" => "12345678", "opened" => "2000-01-01", "owners" =>, ); that's obviously unnecessarily laborious, because you can shorten it to: my = ( "name" => "santa claus", "dob" => "1882-12-25", ); my = ( "name" => "mickey mouse", "dob" => "1928-11-18", ); my @owners = (, ); my %account = ( "number" => "12345678", "opened" => "2000-01-01", "owners" => \@owners, ); it is also possible to declare anonymous arrays and hashes using different symbols. use square brackets for an anonymous array and braces for an anonymous hash. the value returned in each case is a reference to the anonymous data structure in question. watch carefully, this results in exactly the same %account as above: # braces denote an anonymous hash my = { "name" => "santa claus", "dob" => "1882-12-25", }; my = { "name" => "mickey mouse", "dob" => "1928-11-18", }; # square brackets denote an anonymous array my = [, ]; my %account = ( "number" => "12345678", "opened" => "2000-01-01", "owners" =>, ); or, for short (and this is the form you should actually use when declaring complex data structures in-line): my %account = ( "number" => "31415926", "opened" => "3000-01-01", "owners" => [ { "name" => "philip fry", "dob" => "1974-08-06", }, { "name" => "hubert farnsworth", "dob" => "2841-04-09", }, ], ); getting information out of a data structure now, let's assume that you still have %account kicking around but everything else (if there was anything else) has fallen out of scope. you can print the information out by reversing the same procedure in each case. again, here are four examples, of which the last is the most useful: my = $account{"owners"}; my @owners = @{ }; my =]; my = %{ }; my =]; my = %{ }; print "account #", $account{"number"}, " "; print "opened on ", $account{"opened"}, " "; print "joint owners: "; print "\t", $owner1{"name"}, " (born ", $owner1{"dob"}, ") "; print "\t", $owner2{"name"}, " (born ", $owner2{"dob"}, ") "; or, for short: my @owners = @{ $account{"owners"} }; my = %{] }; my = %{] }; print "account #", $account{"number"}, " "; print "opened on ", $account{"opened"}, " "; print "joint owners: "; print "\t", $owner1{"name"}, " (born ", $owner1{"dob"}, ") "; print "\t", $owner2{"name"}, " (born ", $owner2{"dob"}, ") "; or using references and the -> operator: my = $account{"owners"}; my =->[0]; my =->[1]; print "account #", $account{"number"}, " "; print "opened on ", $account{"opened"}, " "; print "joint owners: "; print "\t",->{"name"}, " (born ",->{"dob"}, ") "; print "\t",->{"name"}, " (born ",->{"dob"}, ") "; and if we completely skip all the intermediate values: print "account #", $account{"number"}, " "; print "opened on ", $account{"opened"}, " "; print "joint owners: "; print "\t", $account{"owners"}->[0]->{"name"}, " (born ", $account{"owners"}->[0]->{"dob"}, ") "; print "\t", $account{"owners"}->[1]->{"name"}, " (born ", $account{"owners"}->[1]->{"dob"}, ") "; how to shoot yourself in the foot with array references this array has five elements: my = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5); print; # "12345" this array, however, has one element (which happens to be a reference to an anonymous, array): my = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; print; # e.g.)" this scalar is a reference to an anonymous, array: my = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; print; # e.g.)" print @{ }; # "12345" print @$array3ref; # "12345" conditionals if ... ... else ... no surprises here, other than the spelling of : my $word = "antidisestablishmentarianism"; my = length $word; >= 15) { print "'", $word, "' is a very long word"; }(10 <= && < 15) { print "'", $word, "' is a word"; } else { print "'", $word, "' is a short word"; } perl provides a shorter "statement if condition" syntax which is highly recommended for short statements: print "'", $word, "' is actually enormous" if >= 20; unless ... else ... my $temperature = 20; > 30) { print $temperature, " degrees celsius is not very hot"; } else { print $temperature, " degrees celsius is actually pretty hot"; } unless blocks are generally best avoided like the plague because they are very confusing. an " unless [... else ]" block can be into an " if [... else ]" block by negating the condition [or by keeping the condition and swapping the blocks]. mercifully, there is no keyword. this, by comparison, is highly recommended because it is so easy to read: print "oh no it's too cold" unless $temperature > 15; ternary operator the operator ?: allows simple if statements to be embedded in a statement. the canonical use for this is forms: my $gain = 48; print "you gained ", $gain, " ", ($gain == 1 ? "experience point" : "experience points"), "!"; aside: and plurals are best spelled out in full in both cases. don't do something clever like the following, because anybody searching the to replace the words "tooth" or "teeth" will never find this line: my $lost = 1; print "you lost ", $lost, " t", ($lost == 1 ? "oo" : "ee"), "th!"; ternary operators may be nested: my $eggs = 5; print "you have ", $eggs == 0 ? "no eggs" : $eggs == 1 ? "an egg" : "some eggs"; if statements evaluate their conditions in scalar context. for example, if(@array) returns true if and only if @array has 1 or more elements. it doesn't matter what those elements are - they may contain or other false values for all we care. loops there's more than one way to do it. perl has a conventional while loop: my $i = 0; < scalar @array) { print $i, ": ", $array[$i]; $i++; } perl also offers the until keyword: my $i = 0; >= scalar @array) { print $i, ": ", $array[$i]; $i++; } these do loops are almostuivalent to the above (a warning would be raised if @array were empty): my $i = 0; do { print $i, ": ", $array[$i]; $i++; } while ($i < scalar @array); and my $i = 0; do { print $i, ": ", $array[$i]; $i++; } until ($i >= scalar @array); basic for loops are available too. notice how we put a my inside the for statement, declaring $i only for the scope of the loop: for(my $i = 0; $i < scalar @array; $i++) { print $i, ": ", $array[$i]; } # $i has ceased to exist here, which is much tidier. this kind of for loop is considered old-fashioned and should be avoided where possible. native iteration over a list is much nicer. note: unlike, the for and keywords are synonyms. just use whatever looks most readable: foreach my $string ( @array ) { print $string; } if you do need the indices, the range operator .. creates an anonymous list of integers: foreach my $i ( 0 .. $#array ) { print $i, ": ", $array[$i]; } you can't over a hash. however, you can over its keys. use the keys built-in function to retrieve an array containing all the keys of a hash. then use the approach that we used for arrays: foreach my $key (keys %scientists) { print $key, ": ", $scientists{$key}; } since a hash has no underlying order, the keys may be returned in any order. use the sort built-in function to sort the array of keys alphabetically beforehand: foreach my $key (sort keys %scientists) { print $key, ": ", $scientists{$key}; } if you don't provide an explicit iterator, perl uses a default iterator, $_ . $_ is the first and friendliest of the built-in variables: foreach ( @array ) { print $_; } if using the default iterator, and you only wish to put a single statement inside your loop, you can use the loop syntax: print $_ @array; loop control next and last can be used to control the progress of a loop. in most programming languages these are known as continue and break respectively. we can also provide a label for any loop. by convention, labels are written in . having labelled the loop, next and last may target that label. this example finds primes below 100: candidate: for my $candidate ( 2 .. 100 ) { for my $divisor ( 2 .. $candidate ) { next candidate if $candidate % $divisor == 0; } print $candidate." is prime "; } array functions in-place array modification we'll use @stack to demonstrate these: my @stack = ("fred", "eileen", "denise", "charlie"); print @stack; # "fredeileendenisecharlie" pop extracts and returns the final element of the array. this can be thought of as the top of the stack: print pop @stack; # "charlie" print @stack; # "fredeileendenise" push extra elements to the end of the array: push @stack, "bob", "alice"; print @stack; # "fredeileendenisebobalice" shift extracts and returns the first element of the array: print shift @stack; # "fred" print @stack; # "eileendenisebobalice" unshift inserts new elements at the beginning of the array: unshift @stack, "hank", "grace"; print @stack; # "hankgraceeileendenisebobalice" pop , push , shift and are all special cases of splice . splice removes and returns an array slice, replacing it with a different array slice: print splice(@stack, 1, 4, "<<<", ">>>"); # "graceeileendenisebob" print @stack; # "hank<<<>>>alice" creating new arrays from old perl provides the following functions which act on arrays to create other arrays. the join function concatenates many strings into one: my @elements = ("antimony", "arsenic", "aluminum", "selenium"); print @elements; #arsenicaluminumselenium" print "@elements"; # arsenic aluminum selenium" print join(", ", @elements); #, arsenic, aluminum, selenium" in list context, the reverse function returns a list in reverse order. in scalar context, reverse concatenates the whole list together and then reverses it as a single word. print reverse("hello", "world"); # "worldhello" print reverse("helloworld"); # "helloworld" print scalar reverse("helloworld"); #olleh" print scalar reverse("hello", "world"); #olleh" the map function takes an array as input and applies an operation to every scalar $_ in this array. it then constructs a new array out of the results. the operation to perform is provided in the form of a single expression inside braces: my @capitals = ("baton rouge", "indianapolis", "columbus", "montgomery", "helena", "denver", "boise"); print join ", ", map { $_ } @capitals; # "baton rouge, indianapolis, columbus, montgomery, helena, denver, boise" the function takes an array as input and returns a filtered array as output. the syntax is similar to map . this time, the second argument is evaluated for each scalar $_ in the input array. if a boolean true value is returned, the scalar is put into the output array, otherwise not. print join ", ", { length $_ == 6 } @capitals; # "helena, denver" obviously, the length of the resulting array is the number of successful matches, which means you can use to quickly check whether an array contains an element: print scalar { $_ "columbus" } @capitals; # "1" grep and map may be combined to form list comprehensions, an exceptionally powerful feature conspicuously absent from many other programming languages. by default, the sort function returns the input array, sorted into lexical (alphabetical) order: my @elevations = (19, 1, 2, 100, 3, 98, 100, 1056); print join ", ", sort @elevations; # "1, 100, 100, 1056, 19, 2, 3, 98" however, similar to and map , you may supply some code of your own. sorting is always performed using a series of comparisons between two elements. your block receives $a and $b as inputs and should return -1 if $a is "less than" $b , 0 if they are "equal" or 1 if $a is "greater than" $b . the operator does exactly this for strings: print join ", ", sort { $a $b } @elevations; # "1, 100, 100, 1056, 19, 2, 3, 98" the "spaceship operator", <=> , does the same for numbers: print join ", ", sort { $a <=> $b } @elevations; # "1, 2, 3, 19, 98, 100, 100, 1056" $a and $b are always, but they can be references to quite complex objects which are difficult to compare. if you need more space for the comparison, you can create a separate and provide its name instead: sub comparator { # lots of code... # return -1, 0 or 1 } print join ", ", sort comparator @elevations; you can't do this for or map operations. notice how the and block are never explicitly provided with $a and $b . like $_ , $a and $b are, in fact, global variables which are populated with a pair of values to be compared each time. built-in functions by now you have seen at least a dozen built-in functions: print , sort , map , , keys , scalar and so on. built-in functions are one of greatest strengths. they are numerous are very useful are extensively documented vary greatly in syntax, so check the documentation sometimes accept regular expressions as arguments sometimes accept entire blocks of code as arguments sometimes don't require commas between arguments sometimes will consume an arbitrary number of arguments and sometimes will not sometimes will fill in their own arguments if too few are supplied generally don't require brackets around their arguments except in ambiguous circumstances the best advice regarding built-in functions is to know that they exist. skim the documentation for future reference. if you are carrying out a task which feels like it's low-level and common enough that it's been done many times before, the chances are that it has. user-defineds subroutines are declared using the sub keyword. in contrast with built-in functions,s always accept the same input: a list of. that list may of course have a single element, or be empty. a single scalar is taken as a list with a single element. a hash with n elements is taken as a list with 2 n elements. although the brackets are optional,s should always be invoked using brackets, even when called with no arguments. this makes it clear that a call is happening. once you're inside a, the arguments are available using the built-in array variable @_ . example: sub hyphenate { # extract the first argument from the array, ignore everything else my $word = shift @_; # an overly clever list comprehension $word = join "-", map { $word, $_, 1 } (0 .. (length $word) - 1); return $word; } print hyphenate("exterminate"); # "e-x-t-e-r-m-i-n-a-t-e" perl calls by reference unlike almost every other major programming language, perl calls by reference. this means that the variables or values available inside the body of a are not copies of the originals. they are the originals. my $x = 7; sub reassign { $_[0] = 42; } reassign($x); print $x; # "42" if you try something like reassign(8); then an error occurs and execution halts, because the first line of reassign() isuivalent to 8 = 42; which is obviously nonsense. the lesson to learn is that in the body of a, you should always unpack your arguments before working with them. unpacking arguments there's more than one way to unpack @_ , but some are superior to others. the example below pads a string out to the required length using the supplied pad character. (the x function concatenates multiple copies of the same string in a row.) (note: for brevity, theses all lack some elementary error checking, i.e. ensuring the pad character is only 1 character, checking that the width is greater than orual to the length of existing string, checking that all needed arguments were passed at all.) left_pad is typically invoked as follows: print("hello", 10, "+"); # "+++++hello" unpacking @_ entry by entry is effective but not terribly pretty: sub { my = $_[0]; my $width = $_[1]; my = $_[2]; my = x ($width - length)) .; return; } unpacking @_ by removing data from it using shift is recommended for up to 4 arguments: sub { my = shift @_; my $width = shift @_; my = shift @_; my = x ($width - length)) .; return; } if no array is provided to the shift function, then it operates on @_ implicitly. this approach is seen very commonly: sub { my = shift; my $width = shift; my = shift; my = x ($width - length)) .; return; } beyond 4 arguments it becomes hard to keep track of what is being assigned where. you can unpack @_ all in one go using multiple simultaneous scalar assignment. again, this is okay for up to 4 arguments: sub { my ($oldstring, $width,) = @_; my = x ($width - length)) .; return; } fors with large numbers of arguments or where some arguments are optional or cannot be used in combination with others, best practice is to require the user to provide a hash of arguments when calling the, and then unpack @_ back into that hash of arguments. for this approach, our call would look a little different: print("oldstring" => "pod", "width" => 10, "padchar" => "+"); and the itself looks like this: sub { my = @_; my = ($args{"padchar"} x ($args{"width"} - length $args{"oldstring"})) . $args{"oldstring"}; return; } returning values like other perl expressions, calls may display contextual behaviour. you can use the function (which should be called but never mind) to detect what context the is being evaluated in, and return a result appropriate to that context: sub { # caller wants a list. return a list return ("everest",", "etna") if; # caller wants a scalar. return a scalar return 3; } my @array =(); print @array; # "everestk2etna" my $scalar =(); print $scalar; # "3" system calls apologies if you already know the following facts. every time a process finishes on a windows or linux system (and, i assume, on most other systems), it concludes with a status word. the highest 8 bits constitute a return code between 0 and 255 inclusive, with 0 conventionally representing unqualified success, and other values representing various degrees of failure. the other 8 bits are less frequently examined - they "reflect mode of failure, like signal death and core dump information". you can exit from a perl script with the return code of your choice (from 0 to 255) using exit . perl provides more than one way to - in a single call - spawn a child process, pause the current script until the child process has finished, and then resume interpretation of the current script. whichever method is used, you will find that immediately afterwards, the built-in scalar variable $? has been populated with the status word that was returned from that child termination. you can get the return code by taking just the highest 8 of those 16 bits: $? >> 8 . the system function can be used to invoke another program with the arguments listed. the value returned by system is the same value with which $? is populated: my = system "perl", "anotherscript.pl", "foo", "bar", "baz"; >>= 8; print; # "37" alternatively, you can use `` to run an actual command at the command line and capture the standard output from that command. in scalar context the entire output is returned as a single string. in list context, the entire output is returned as an array of strings, each one representing a line of output. my $text = `perl foo bar baz`; print $text; # "foobarbaz" this is the behaviour which would be seen if contained, for example: use strict; use warnings; print; exit 37; files and file handles a scalar variable may contain a file handle instead of a or . a file handle is essentially a reference to a specific location inside a specific file. use open to turn a scalar variable into a file handle. open must be supplied with a mode. the mode < indicates that we wish to open the file to read from it: my $f = "text.txt"; my $result = open my $fh, "<", $f; if(!$result) { die "couldn't open '".$f."' for reading because: ".$!; } if successful, open returns a true value. otherwise, it returns false and an error message is stuffed into the built-in variable $! . as seen above, you should always check that the open operation completed successfully. this checking being rather tedious, a common idiom is: open(my $fh, "<", $f) \|\| die "couldn't open '".$f."' for reading because: ".$!; note the need for parentheses around the open call's arguments. to read a line of text from a, use the built-in function. returns a full line of text, with a line break intact at the end of it (except possibly for the final line of the file), or if you've reached the end of the file. while(1) { my $line = $fh; last unless defined $line; # process the line... } to truncate that possible trailing line break, use chomp : chomp $line; note that chomp acts on $line in place. $line = chomp $line is probably not what you want. you can also use to detect that the end of the file has been reached: while(!eof $fh) { my $line = $fh; # process $line... } but beware of just using $line = $fh) , because if $line turns out to be "0" , the loop will terminate early. if you want to write something like that, perl provides the <> operator which wraps up in a fractionally safer way. this is very and perfectly safe: while(my $line = <$fh>) { # process $line... } and even: while(<$fh>) { # process $_... } writing to a file involves first opening it in a different mode. the mode > indicates that we wish to open the file to write to it. ( > will clobber the content of the target file if it already exists and has content. to merely append to an existing file, use mode >> .) then, simply provide the as a argument for the print function. open(my, ">", $f) \|\| die "couldn't open '".$f."' for writing because: ".$!; print "the eagles have left the nest"; notice the absence of a comma between and the next argument. file handles are actually closed automatically when they drop out of scope, but otherwise: close; close $fh; threes exist as global constants: , and . these are open automatically when the script starts. to read a single line of user input: my $line = <stdin>; to just wait for the user to hit enter: <stdin>; calling <> with no reads data from , or from any files named in arguments when the perl script was called. as you may have gathered, print prints to by default if no is named. file tests the function -e is a built-in function which tests whether the named file exists. print "what" unless -e "/usr/bin/perl"; the function -d is a built-in function which tests whether the named file is a directory. the function -f is a built-in function which tests whether the named file is a plain file. these are just three of a large class of functions of the form -x where x is some lower- or letter. these functions are called file tests. note the leading minus sign. in a google query, the minus sign indicates to exclude results containing this search term. this makes file tests hard to google for! just search for "perl file test" instead. regular expressions regular expressions appear in many languages and tools other than perl. core regular expression syntax is basically the same as everywhere else, but full regular expression capabilities are complex and difficult to understand. the best advice i can give you is to avoid this complexity wherever possible. match operations are performed using =~ m// . in scalar context, =~ m// returns true on success, false on failure. my $string = "hello world"; =~ m/(\w+)\s+(\w+)/) { print "success"; } parentheses perform. after a successful match operation is performed, the get stuffed into the built-in variables $1 , $2 , $3 , ...: print $1; # "hello" print $2; # "world" in list context, =~ m// returns $1 , $2 , ... as a list. my $string = green ideas sleep furiously"; my @matches = $string =~ m/(\w+)\s+((\w+)\s+(\w+))\s+(\w+)\s+(\w+)/; print join ", ", map { "'".$_."'" } @matches; # prints "'colourless', 'green ideas', 'green', 'ideas', 'sleep', 'furiously'" substitution operations are performed using =~ s/// . my $string = "good morning world"; $string =~ s/world/vietnam/; print $string; # "good morning vietnam" notice how the contents of $string have changed. you have to pass a scalar variable on the left-hand side of an =~ s/// operation. if you pass a literal string, you'll get an error. the /g flag indicates "group match". in scalar context, each =~ call finds another match after the previous one, returning true on success, false on failure. you can access $1 and so on afterwards in the usual way. for example: my $string = "a tonne of feathers or a tonne of bricks"; =~ m/(\w+)/g) { print "'".$1."' "; } in list context, an =~ call returns all of the matches at once. my @matches = $string =~ m/(\w+)/g; print join ", ", map { "'".$_."'" } @matches; an =~ call performs a global and returns the number of matches. here, we replace all vowels with the letter "r". # try once without /g. $string =~ s/[aeiou]/r/; print $string; # "r tonne of feathers or a tonne of bricks" # once more. $string =~ s/[aeiou]/r/; print $string; # "r of feathers or a tonne of bricks" # and do all the rest using /g $string =~ s/[aeiou]/r/g; print $string, " "; # "r r brrcks" the /i flag makes matches and substitutions case-insensitive. the /x flag allows your regular expression to contain (e.g., line breaks) and comments. "hello world" =~ m/ (\w+) # one or more word characters [ ] # single literal space, stored inside a character class world # literal "world" /x; # returns true modules and packages in perl, modules and packages are different things. modules a module is a .pm file that you can include in another perl file (script or module). a module is a text file with exactly the same syntax as a perl script. an example module might be located at or , and read as follows: use strict; use warnings; sub { my $word = shift @_; $word =~ s/[aeiou]/r/g; return $word; } return 1; because a module is executed from top to bottom when it is loaded, you need to return a true value at the end to show that it was loaded successfully. so that the perl interpreter can find them, directories containing perl modules should be listed in your environment variable before calling perl . list the root directory containing the modules, don't list the module directories or the modules themselves: set="c:\foo\bar\baz;%perl5lib%" or export="/foo/bar/baz:$perl5lib" once the perl module is created and perl knows where to look for it, you can use the require built-in function to search for and execute it during a perl script. for example, calling require causes the perl interpreter to search each directory listed in in turn, looking for a file called . after the module has been executed, thes that were defined there suddenly become available to the main script. our example script might be called and read as follows: use strict; use warnings; require; print("i want brains"); # "r brrrns" note the use of the double colon :: as a directory separator. now a problem surfaces: if contains many require calls, and each of the modules so loaded contains more require calls, then it can become difficult to track down the original declaration of the(). the solution to this problem is to use packages. packages a package is a in whichs can be declared. any you declare is implicitly declared within the current package. at the beginning of execution, you are in the main package, but you can switch package using the package built-in function: use strict; use warnings; sub { print "universe"; } package food::potatoes; # no collision: sub { print "kingedward"; } note the use of the double colon :: as a separator. any time you call a, you implicitly call a which is inside the current package. alternatively, you can explicitly provide a package. see what happens if we continue the above script: subroutine(); # "kingedward" main::subroutine(); # "universe" food::potatoes::subroutine(); # "kingedward" so the logical solution to the problem described above is to modify or to read: use strict; use warnings; package; sub { my $word = shift @_; $word =~ s/[aeiou]/r/g; return $word; } return 1; and modify to read: use strict; use warnings; require; print::("i want brains"); # "r brrrns" now read this next bit carefully. packages and modules are two completely separate and distinct features of the perl programming language. the fact that they both use the same double colon is a huge red herring. it is possible to switch packages multiple times over the course of a script or module, and it is possible to use the same package declaration in multiple locations in multiple files. calling require does not look for and load a file with a package declaration somewhere inside it, nor does it necessarily loads in the. calling require merely loads a file called , which need not have any kind of package declaration inside it at all, and in fact might declare package and other nonsense inside it for all you know. likewise, a call::processthis() need not necessarily have been declared inside a file named . it could have been declared literally anywhere. separating these two concepts is one of the stupidest features of perl, and treating them as separate concepts invariably results in chaotic, maddening code. fortunately for us, the majority of perl programmers obey the following two laws: a perl script ( file) must always contain exactly zero package declarations. a perl module ( .pm file) must always contain exactly one package declaration, corresponding exactly to its name and location. e.g. module must begin with package . because of this, in practice you will find that most "packages" and "modules" produced by reliable third parties can be regarded and referred to interchangeably. however, it is important that you do not take this for granted, because one day you will meet code produced by a madman. object-oriented perl perl is not a great language for programming. capabilities were grafted on after the fact, and this shows. an object is simply a reference (i.e. a scalar variable) which happens to know which class its belongs to. to tell a reference that its belongs to a class, use bless . to find out what class a belongs to (if any), use ref . a method is simply a that expects an object (or, in the case of class methods, a package name) as its first argument. object methods are invoked using $obj->method() ; class methods are invoked using package::name->method() . a class is simply a package that happens to contain methods. a quick example makes this clearer. an example module containing a class animal reads like this: use strict; use warnings; package animal; sub eat { # first argument is always the object to act upon. my $self = shift @_; my $food ( @_ ) { if($self->can_eat($food)) { print "eating ", $food; } else { print "can't eat ", $food; } } } # for the sake of argument, assume an animal can eat anything. sub { return 1; } return 1; and we might make use of this class like so: require animal; my $animal = { "legs" => 4, "colour" => "brown", }; # $animal is an ordinary hash reference print ref $animal; # "hash" bless $animal, "animal"; # now it is an object of class "animal" print ref $animal; # "animal" note: literally any reference can be blessed into any class. it's up to you to ensure that (1) the can actually be used as an instance of this class and (2) that the class in question exists and has been loaded. you can still work with the original hash in the usual way: print "animal has ", $animal->{"legs"}, " leg(s)"; but you can now also call methods on the object using the same -> operator, like so: $animal->eat("insects", "curry", "eucalyptus"); this final call isuivalent to animal::eat($animal, "insects", "curry", "eucalyptus") . constructors a constructor is a class method which returns a new object. if you want one, just declare one. you can use any name you like. for class methods, the first argument passed is not an object but a class name. in this case, "animal" : use strict; use warnings; package animal; sub new { my $class = shift @_; return bless { "legs" => 4, "colour" => "brown" }, $class; } # ...etc. and then use it like so: my $animal = animal->new(); inheritance to create a class inheriting from a parent class, use use parent . let's suppose we animal with koala , located at : use strict; use warnings; package koala; # inherit from animal use parent ("animal"); # override one method sub { my $self = shift @_; # not used. you could just put "shift @_;" here my $food = shift @_; return $food "eucalyptus"; } return 1; and some sample code: use strict; use warnings; require koala; my $koala = koala->new(); $koala->eat("insects", "curry", "eucalyptus"); # eat only the eucalyptus this final method call tries to invoke koala::eat($koala, "insects", "curry", "eucalyptus") , but a eat() isn't defined in the koala package. however, because koala has a parent class animal , the perl interpreter tries calling animal::eat($koala, "insects", "curry", "eucalyptus") instead, which works. note how the class animal was loaded automatically by . since use parent accepts a list of parent class names, perl supports multiple inheritance, with all the benefits and horrors this entails. begin blocks a begin block is executed as soon as perl has finished parsing that block, even before it the rest of the file. it is ignored at execution time: use strict; use warnings; print "this gets printed second"; begin { print "this gets printed first"; } print "this gets printed third"; a begin block is always executed first. if you create multiple begin blocks (don't), they are executed in order from top to bottom as the compiler encounters them. a begin block always executes first even if it is placed halfway through a script (don't do this) or at the end (or this). do not mess with the natural order of code. put begin blocks at the beginning! a begin block is executed as soon as the block has been parsed. once this is done, parsing resumes at the end of the begin block. only once the whole script or module has been parsed is any of the code outside of begin blocks executed. use strict; use warnings; print "this 'print' statement gets parsed successfully but never executed"; begin { print "this gets printed first"; } print "this, also, is parsed successfully but never executed"; ...because there is a huge parsing error down here. because they are executed at compilation time, a begin block placed inside a conditional block will still be executed first, even if the conditional evaluates to false and despite the fact that the conditional has not been evaluated at all yet and in fact may never be evaluated. if(0) { begin { print "this will definitely get printed"; } print "even though this won't"; } begin begin begin { if($condition) { # etc. } } use okay. now that you understand the obtuse behaviour and semantics of packages, modules, class methods and begin blocks, i can explain the exceedingly use function. the following three statements: use caterpillar ("crawl", "pupate"); use caterpillar (); use caterpillar; are respectivelyuivalent to: begin { require caterpillar; caterpillar->import("crawl", "pupate"); } begin { require caterpillar; } begin { require caterpillar; caterpillar->import(); } no, the three examples are not in the wrong order. it is just that perl is dumb. a use call is a disguised begin block. the same warnings apply. use statements must always be placed at the top of the file, and never inside . call is a disguised block. the same warnings apply. statements must always be placed at the top of the file, and . import() is not a built-in perl function. it is a class method . the burden is on the programmer of the caterpillar package to define or inherit import() , and the method could theoretically accept anything as arguments and do anything with those arguments. use caterpillar; could do anything. consult the documentation of to find out exactly what will happen. is not a built-in perl function. it is a . the burden is on the programmer of the package to define or inherit , and the method could theoretically accept anything as arguments and do anything with those arguments. could do anything. consult the documentation of to find out exactly what will happen. notice how require caterpillar loads a module named , whereas caterpillar->import() calls the import() that was defined inside the caterpillar package. let's hope the module and the package coincide! exporter the most common way to define an import() method is to inherit it from the exporter module. exporter is a core module, and a de facto core feature of the perl programming language. in implementation of import() , the list of arguments that you pass in is interpreted as a list of names. when a is import() ed, it becomes available in the current package as well as in its own original package. this concept is easiest to grasp using an example. here's what looks like: use strict; use warnings; package caterpillar; # inherit from exporter use parent ("exporter"); sub crawl { print "inch inch"; } sub eat { print "chomp chomp"; } sub { print bloop"; } our = ("crawl", "eat"); return 1; the package variable should contain a list of names. another piece of code may then import() theses by name, typically using a use statement: use strict; use warnings; use caterpillar ("crawl"); crawl(); # "inch inch" in this case, the current package is main , so the crawl() call is actually a call to main::crawl() , which (because it was imported) maps to caterpillar::crawl() . note: regardless of the content of , every method can always be called "longhand": use strict; use warnings; use caterpillar (); # nos named, no import() call made # and yet... caterpillar::crawl(); # "inch inch" caterpillar::eat(); # "chomp chomp" caterpillar::pupate(); # bloop" perl has no private methods. customarily, a method intended for private use is named with a leading underscore or two. @export the exporter module also defines a package variable called @export , which can also be populated with a list of names. use strict; use warnings; package caterpillar; # inherit from exporter use parent ("exporter"); sub crawl { print "inch inch"; } sub eat { print "chomp chomp"; } sub { print bloop"; } our @export = ("crawl", "eat", "pupate"); return 1; thes named in @export are exported if import() is called with no arguments at all, which is what happens here: use strict; use warnings; use caterpillar; # calls import() with no arguments crawl(); # "inch inch" eat(); # "chomp chomp"(); # bloop" but notice how we are back in a situation where, without other clues, it might not be easy to tell where crawl() was originally defined. the moral of this story is twofold: when creating a module which makes use of exporter, never use @export to exports by default. always make the user calls "longhand" or import() them explicitly (using e.g. use caterpillar ("crawl") , which is a strong clue to look in for the definition of crawl() ). when use ing a module which makes use of exporter, always explicitly name thes you want to import() . if you don't want to import() anys and wish to refer to them longhand, you must supply an explicit empty list: use caterpillar () . miscellaneous notes the core module can be used to output an arbitrary scalar to the screen. this is an essential debug tool. there's an alternate syntax, qw{ } , for declaring arrays. this is often seen in use statements: use account open close suspend delete}; there are many other operators. in =~ m// and =~ s/// operations, you can use braces instead of slashes as thes. this is quite useful if your contains a lot of slashes, which would otherwise need escaping with backslashes. for example, =~ m{///} matches three literal forward slashes, and =~ s{^https?://}{} removes the protocol part of a url. perl does have constants . these are discouraged now, but weren't always. constants are actually just calls with omitted brackets. sometimes people omit quotes around hash keys, writing $hash{key} instead of $hash{"key"} . they can get away with it because in this situation the key occurs as the string "key" , as opposed to a call key() . if you see a block of code wrapped in a with double chevrons, like , the magic word to google for is "here-doc". warning! many built-in functions can be called with no arguments, causing them to operate on $_ instead. hopefully this will help you understand formations like: print @array; and ( @array ) { next unless defined; } i dislike this formation because it can lead to problems when refactoring. and that's two and a half hours.	lərn pərl ɪn əˈbaʊt 2 aʊərz 30 ˈmɪnəts pərl ɪz ə daɪˈnæmɪk, dynamically-typed, ˌhaɪˈlɛvəl, (ˌɪnˈtərprətəd) ˈlæŋgwɪʤ moʊst ˈkɑmprəbəl wɪθ ənd ˈpaɪθɑn. ˈsɪnˌtæks oʊz ə lɔt tɪ ˈeɪnʧənt ʃɛl tulz, ənd ɪt ɪz feɪmd fər ɪts ˌoʊvərˈjuz əv kənfˈjuzɪŋ ˈsɪmbəlz, ðə məˈʤɔrəti əv wɪʧ ər ˌɪmˈpɑsəbəl tɪ ˈgugəl fər. ʃɛl ˈhɛrɪtɪʤ meɪks ɪt greɪt fər ˈraɪtɪŋ glu koʊd: skrɪpts wɪʧ lɪŋk təˈgɛðər ˈəðər skrɪpts ənd ˈproʊˌgræmz. pərl ɪz aɪˈdili ˈsutɪd fər ˈprɑsɛsɪŋ tɛkst ˈdætə ənd prəˈdusɪŋ mɔr tɛkst ˈdætə. pərl ɪz ˈwaɪdˈsprɛd, ˈpɑpjələr, ˈhaɪli ˈpɔrtəbəl ənd well-supported. pərl wɑz dɪˈzaɪnd wɪθ ðə fəˈlɑsəfi "ðɛrz mɔr ðən wən weɪ tɪ du ɪt" (tmtowtdi) (ˈkɑntræst wɪθ ˈpaɪθɑn, wɛr "ðɛr ʃʊd bi wən ənd ˈprɛfərəbli ˈoʊnli wən ˈɑbviəs weɪ tɪ du ɪt"). pərl həz ˈhɔrərz, bət ɪt ˈɔlsoʊ həz səm greɪt rɪˈdimɪŋ ˈfiʧərz. ɪn ðɪs rɪˈspɛkt ɪt ɪz laɪk ˈɛvəri ˈəðər ˈproʊˌgræmɪŋ ˈlæŋgwɪʤ ˈɛvər kriˈeɪtɪd. ðɪs ˈdɑkjəmɛnt ɪz ˌɪnˈtɛndɪd tɪ bi ˌɪnˈfɔrmətɪv, nɑt ˌivænˈʤɛlɪkəl. ɪt ɪz eɪmd æt ˈpipəl hu, laɪk mi: dɪsˈlaɪk ðə əˈfɪʃəl pərl ˌdɑkjəmɛnˈteɪʃən æt http://perl.org/ fər biɪŋ ˌɪnˈtɛnsli ˈtɛknɪkəl ənd ˈgɪvɪŋ fɑr tu məʧ speɪs tɪ ˈvɛri ənˈjuˌʒuəl ɛʤ ˈkeɪsɪz lərn nu ˈproʊˌgræmɪŋ ˈlæŋgwɪʤɪz moʊst kˈwɪkli baɪ "ˈæksiəm ənd ɪgˈzæmpəl" wɪʃ ˈlɛri wɔl wʊd gɪt tɪ ðə pɔɪnt ɔˈrɛdi noʊ haʊ tɪ ˈproʊˌgræm ɪn ˈʤɛnərəl tərmz doʊnt kɛr əˈbaʊt pərl bɪɔnd wəts ˈnɛsəˌsɛri tɪ gɪt ðə ʤɑb dən. ðɪs ˈdɑkjəmɛnt ɪz ˌɪnˈtɛndɪd tɪ bi ɛz ʃɔrt ɛz ˈpɑsəbəl, bət noʊ ˈʃɔrtər. prɪˈlɪməˌnɛri noʊts ðə ˈfɑloʊɪŋ kən bi sɛd əv ˈɔlˌmoʊst ˈɛvəri ˈsteɪtmənt ɪn ðɪs ˈdɑkjəmɛnt: "ðæts nɑt, ˈstrɪktli ˈspikɪŋ, tru;

the new bellwethers is a series examining counties, in key states, that politically mirror the country overall. reading, pa. by 2044, the u.s. will be a majority minority nation. by 2060, 29 percent of the country will be latino. this coming demographic shift has been the subject of much and “big thinking” in recent years, but for the city of reading, pennsylvania, those numbers are already a reality. nestled in the center of county, reading had a latino population of 60 percent in 2014, up from 37 percent in 2000. it is a city living, at least demographically, in the future. this is likely not a phenomenon that residents, largely descended from german stock, would have predicted in 1908 when the city got its pagoda. sprouting seven stories off the top of mt. penn, with eaves and sturdy stone colonnades, it is probably the finest if only pagoda in all of southeastern pennsylvania and the only one in the world to claim a fireplace and chimney, a bit of pragmatism. built as a resort but unable to secure a liquor license, the pagoda now serves as decorative fancy, a place to snap a picture, smoke a contemplative cigarette or park a car and cop a feel. from up here, reading looks the part of a small pennsylvania city nestled in the patch of greater greenery that is county the streets are neatly laid out, there are steeples scattered here and there. up close, though, the reality of the city and its county is much more complicated. if demographics are of the future, then the rest of county is decidedly rooted in the present. overall, the county is 75 percent white, home to a number of affluent philadelphia bedroom suburbs, including the one where taylor swift spent her childhood. thanks to its stark demographic divide, is living on the political edge, as well; mitt romney won the county narrowly in 2012, percent to president 49 percent, even as obama won nationally by 4 percentage points. but this year in, hillary clinton has held an average lead over donald trump of 41 percent to 38 percent, according to data gathered by the polling firm morning consult, just about where her lead stood in the nation overall, on average, when the data was collected (august through early october). berks’s own particular political divisions have much to do with its lack of a cohesive identity. once known for the reading railroad, which went out of business in the 1970s, the sense of self is now divided along the stark lines of urban and suburban interests. “it has become much more of an ‘us and them’ environment between the city and the county,” pat giles, chief impact officer at united way of county, said. “the city is where ‘those folks’ live and the attitude of the suburban and rural folks is not only do they not care about those folks in the city but they have a very negative opinion of living in the city.” a 2011 new york times article naming reading the poorest city in the nation did not help with matters of perception journalists from as far away as europe flocked to the city after that, giles said, attracting an outsized bit of unwanted attention. but unlike other metropolitan areas with diminished industriales, county and reading in particular have not seen a population decline along with its uptick in poverty. this is in large part due to an influx of latinos moving to the city from new york. “the rent is too expensive,” indiana hernandez, 33, the manager of barber shop on north street in reading, said of her reasons for leaving the bronx. she moved to the u.s. from the dominican republic in 2006, and she said she liked her adopted city well enough work in the shop was preferable to the and factory jobs she had in new york, though rather be doing hair in the front of the shop than sitting in the back room, monitoring the security cameras. another shop employee, maria, 39, said that the bronx was fine for work, but that quality of life was preferable. “i like the flowers,” maria said of her new hometown, laughing. when the topic of race came up, both women said they were supporting clinton and thought she would win. with the help of her translation app, i asked hernandez if she ever worried about the prospect of a trump presidency. “preoccupado?” she asked, peering at the screen to read what typed in. “yes! no trump he wants the mexican people out.” down the street at latino community center, centro hispano daniel torres, bustling on a weekday morning, a flyer displayed on the reception desk was equally as blunt about the stakes of the 2016 election: “this election year, many politicians are trying to scapegoat immigrant and latino communities, instead of addressing our communities’ real issues and needs,” the flyer began. “can we count on you to vote for respect and dignity on tuesday november?” a path to citizenship, public school funding, a $15 minimum wage and climate change action were listed as top priorities. “i think the challenge that the latino community has is that they just understand the power that they have,” michael toledo, executive director of the center, said. “just the sheer numbers of latinos that live in the city the latino community could absolutely take hold of this city and be agents of positive change if they wanted to.” the latino vote in reading may in fact be pushing further left than it was in 2012. for now, the primary job of the center, toledo said, was to help the newly arrived to the city acculturate, something the organization has been doing for 50 years, ever since a group of puerto ricans moved to reading to work the nearby mushroom fields. grandfather was one of these first arrivals to the city, and he has lived in the area all his life. “what going through right now is no different than what the irish went through, what the italians went through,” toledo said. “but it took those years to acculturate, to assimilate, to be a part of the fabric that is our community.” the challenges remain steep, though. poverty rate is at 40 percent, teen pregnancy is far more common here than it is statewide or nationally, and the graduation rate in the schools is only at 60 percent. giles said improvement of the school system was one of her priorities; young latino population is the economic future. “there was a point in time where it was like, ‘oh my gosh what are we going to do, look at all these people coming here who speak the language, look different, are draining resources,’” she said. “now i think people are much more willing to recognize that this is our reality and we need to take the best advantage of the fact that we have a younger demographic, we have a growing demographic and more small businesses have been created.” in other words, the new normal was slowly sinking in. the racial animus of the 2016 election, particularly with respect to immigrant latino populations, has highlighted what is sure to be at the nexus of the century culture wars: what america should look like, should sound like. schools giles said again, would be the key to a better future for the city, her mandated hometown optimism bubbling up to meet yet another skepticism. “i think going to improve, and that in and of itself is going to support a lot of other positive things happening.” then she sighed. “i just know it all going to happen quickly enough.“ a drive from the centro hispano in reading is, a suburb of shady streets, ostentatious halloween displays and old stone houses set on lots the stuff of american dreams. joe, the field organizer for county, works out of a small office park in the town, which boasts a median household income of $73,000. most of his efforts, said, were focused on areas such as median household income $46,000 at the northeastern part of the county, right near lehigh allentown. “in county outside of lehigh there were a lot of manufacturing jobs,” he said, an area where it now seems to as if every third house sports a trump sign. and internal polls, he said, showed trump with a lead in the county. “folks are struggling to get by, and a driving factor for donald trump that we see.” despite a shared sense of economic hardship, though, residents in the outer borough see their struggles as a piece apart from. “to speak bluntly, i think sad to see what reading has turned into,” said. “lots of folks i talked to, whether it be in this area or the southern part of the county, rural parts of the county, they even like to travel into downtown reading anymore.” kevin murphy, president of the county community foundation, had a more optimistic spin on the economic state, one that center around a revitalization of reading but rather embraces the culture. “i realize the affection for thinking of pennsylvania as ‘the deer hunter,’ but not the story of southeastern pennsylvania,” he said. “the story of southeastern pennsylvania is a booming economy with high-tech, huge medical research productions.” that new york and philadelphia are becoming more difficult places for middle-class families to call home was only to advantage. he spoke of horse farms in the area, of new bike paths, amish buggies and picturesque small towns. “we think we can attract, and we do attract, a kind of entrepreneurial class attracted to the quality of life and the proximity to markets,” murphy said. not all of the towns were doing quite so well, he said, pointing not only to struggling places like, but to pockets of rural poverty at the northern and southern extremities. the identity of is essentially balkanized, though, murphy said, with each town or village identifying more strongly with their school district than as a member of, say, the greater reading metropolitan area. the fortunes of many places in remain to be seen hence appeal in parts of the county but they want to be dragged down by an association with problems. “there are 71 [municipalities] in, there are people in the county split among these municipalities and the media likes to come and talk about reading,” murphy said. “which would be like coming to pittsburgh and analyzing the hill district and saying, ‘and this is what the region looks like.’ percent of the poor people in county live in this one municipality, so really more like a neighborhood.” walking through reading on a recent afternoon, i passed by all the things you see from the pagoda on top of mt. penn. there were the relief depictions of the railroad past on the stone walls of a building, posters for cheap collect calls to central america, and the bustling scene and pawn shops of penn square not far from a newly opened luxury double tree hotel, a nod to downtown revitalization. there was also, unexpectedly, a pair of trump signs. i spotted them outside a dingy building attached to auto repair, a garage on north street, and wandered in. they belonged, according to tommy acevedo, 39, to “the old man who owns the building.” acevedo, originally from the dominican republic, owns the business and a grocery store a few blocks away. sitting in the garage office, acevedo and a few customers argued about the presidential race as soon as the topic of the trump signs came up, the election being one sure conversational accelerant. they talked businessman appeal, emails and the threat of terrorism. ultimately, though, acevedo said, “i’m definitely trying to get hillary in there.” and the old trump signs would be coming down soon enough; acevedo is set to open a car dealership in the front office where they hang. in the end, it matter much who won, he said. “i’m just going to come here and work.”	ðə nu ˈbɛlˌwɛðərz ɪz ə ˈsɪriz ɪgˈzæmɪnɪŋ ˈkaʊntiz, ɪn ki steɪts, ðət ˈplɪtɪkli ˈmɪrər ðə ˈkəntri ˈoʊvərˌɔl. ˈrɛdɪŋ, pɑ. baɪ 2044 ðə juz. wɪl bi ə məˈʤɔrəti məˈnɔrəti ˈneɪʃən. baɪ 2060 29

we’ve been waiting for an official star wars virtual reality experience for some time. with the movie coming out next month, that time is almost now. in an announcement today on starwars.com, we got some updates on what to expect. here’s what they had to say: coming on december 2 is a new virtual reality experience developed along with google and verizon. this will feature the serialized google cardboard virtual reality (vr) experience that combines a compelling story, which ties directly into the opening of star wars: the force awakens, with the very latest cutting-edge virtual reality technology. the google cardboard virtual reality experience will live in the official star wars app and is available on both ios and android devices. yes, not only will there be content, but putting out some star cardboard to view the stuff. forget the “cardboard real vr” argument for a moment. going to want to check this out. you can snag one of the themed cardboards in a verizon store on december exclusively. there are four different ones, and sure that become collectible. as does anything physical having to do with star wars. nice score by verizon. the content will be available on the star wars official app for ios and android. the group behind the content itself, industrial light & ilmxlab, has been cranking away on creating content for at least six months, so gotta be good. while you wait, your google apps.	we’ve* bɪn ˈweɪtɪŋ fər ən əˈfɪʃəl stɑr wɔrz ˈvərʧuəl ˌriˈæləˌti ɪkˈspɪriəns fər səm taɪm. wɪθ ðə ˈmuvi ˈkəmɪŋ aʊt nɛkst mənθ, ðət taɪm ɪz ˈɔlˌmoʊst naʊ. ɪn ən əˈnaʊnsmɛnt təˈdeɪ ɔn starwars.com, wi gɑt səm ˈəpˌdeɪts ɔn wət tɪ ɪkˈspɛkt. wət ðeɪ hæd tɪ seɪ: ˈkəmɪŋ ɔn dɪˈsɛmbər 2 ɪz ə nu ˈvərʧuəl ˌriˈæləˌti ɪkˈspɪriəns dɪˈvɛləpt əˈlɔŋ wɪθ ˈgugəl ənd ˌvɛˈraɪzən. ðɪs wɪl ˈfiʧər ðə ˈsɪˌriəˌlaɪzd ˈgugəl ˈkɑrdˌbɔrd ˈvərʧuəl ˌriˈæləˌti (vr) ɪkˈspɪriəns ðət kəmˈbaɪnz ə kəmˈpɛlɪŋ ˈstɔri, wɪʧ taɪz dɪˈrɛkli ˈɪntu ðə ˈoʊpənɪŋ əv stɑr wɔrz: ðə fɔrs əˈweɪkənz, wɪθ ðə ˈvɛri ˈleɪtəst ˈkətɪˌŋɛʤ ˈvərʧuəl ˌriˈæləˌti tɛkˈnɑləʤi. ðə ˈgugəl ˈkɑrdˌbɔrd ˈvərʧuəl ˌriˈæləˌti ɪkˈspɪriəns wɪl lɪv ɪn ðə əˈfɪʃəl stɑr wɔrz æp ənd ɪz əˈveɪləbəl ɔn boʊθ ˈioʊs ənd ˈænˌdrɔɪd dɪˈvaɪsɪz. jɛs, nɑt ˈoʊnli wɪl ðɛr bi ˈkɑntɛnt, bət ˈpʊtɪŋ aʊt səm stɑr ˈkɑrdˌbɔrd tɪ vju ðə stəf. fərˈgɛt ðə ril vr”” ˈɑrgjəmənt fər ə ˈmoʊmənt. goʊɪŋ tɪ wɔnt tɪ ʧɛk ðɪs aʊt. ju kən snæg wən əv ðə θimd ˈkɑrdˌbɔrdz ɪn ə ˌvɛˈraɪzən stɔr ɔn dɪˈsɛmbər ɪkˈsklusɪvli. ðɛr ər fɔr ˈdɪfərənt wənz, ənd ʃʊr ðət bɪˈkəm kəˈlɛktəbəl. ɛz dɪz ˈɛniˌθɪŋ ˈfɪzɪkəl ˈhævɪŋ tɪ du wɪθ stɑr wɔrz. nis skɔr baɪ ˌvɛˈraɪzən. ðə ˈkɑntɛnt wɪl bi əˈveɪləbəl ɔn ðə stɑr wɔrz əˈfɪʃəl æp fər ˈioʊs ənd ˈænˌdrɔɪd. ðə grup bɪˈhaɪnd ðə ˈkɑntɛnt ˌɪtˈsɛlf, ˌɪnˈdəstriəl laɪt ilmxlab, həz bɪn ˈkræŋkɪŋ əˈweɪ ɔn kriˈeɪtɪŋ ˈkɑntɛnt fər æt list sɪks mənθs, soʊ ˈgɑtə bi gʊd. waɪl ju weɪt, jʊr ˈgugəl æps.
by mike tate - the recent discovery of the bosnian pyramids in visoko, bosnia by dr. osmanagić has created worldwide interest among scholars and scientists alike, not to mention the fascination and curiosity sparked in the minds of the general public. against scrutiny and overwhelming amounts of skepticism the "bosnian valley of the pyramids" received international validation when observed by many well respected professionals in the various fields of science and has proven to be the largest (220 meter high) and the oldest (10,000-12,000 years old) known pyramids on the planet. this mass concentrated effort of analysis led to the discovery of an unexplained energetic radiation found inside, as well as above, the bosnian pyramid of the sun. further analysis revealed an ultrasonic frequency beam being emitted from the top of the bosnian pyramid of the sun out towards space, with the strength of the frequency becoming stronger the further it traveled away from the sun pyramid. the first team to report this ultrasound frequency was in april of 2010 by a group of croatian researchers led by physicist slobodan mizdrak. the instruments used in their research was an 823 with an internal probe and a 828 with a external probe, industrially calibrated with great precision and preciseness. additionally, an oscilloscope and a spectrometer was used to analyze the frequency. the discovery was later confirmed by a team from the russian geophysical institute schmidt of moscow (dr. and dr. tsyplakov). also in 2010, dr. harry oldfield, a british independent researcher, detected the fields above the sun pyramid using a pip camera interference photography) and was able to reveal the ultrasound radiation accumulated inside the sun pyramid as well as it's release through the top of the sun pyramid. the ultrasound frequency detected has a continuous emission at 28 (28,000) as confirmed by the croatian team, and even found to have the same sinusoidal shape as found in the mound as well as a few passages on the sides of the underground complex. on january of 2011, research group provided the initial decoding of the bosnian pyramid frequency by recording the frequency using a. a is an instrument housing a supersonic sensor of very advanced technology containing highly miniaturized mechanical and electronic components integrated in the same silicone substratum. moreover, a key technical detail is the assembly of a small microphone on the focal point of a metal parabola to collect the very straight ultrasound frequency waves at their best. additionally, the research group brought their own with a external probe to test for magnetic fields above the sun pyramid, which none was found. this data is a critical piece of the puzzle because with no magnetic field found to be atop of the sun pyramid, data recorded with the can not be attributed to radio waves by radio stations or repeaters placed nearby. one of these preliminary recordings can be found at the next phase of decoding the frequency was the signal to 700 and removing all background noise. this process resulted in the frequency sound bite product having audible tones of inflection portraying that of a coded speech signal. this sound bite can be heard at this is when i received the signal and began my work. assuming that all other forms of interference have been excluded and this signal acquired is the pure product of scientific evaluations and processes, i began applying audio processing to extract from the signal what i could. the technical data is as follows: 1. the signal was put through a redux channel with a value of 4. 2. then put through a frequency shifter going down -1.24 then fine tuned up. 3. then through a as a digital clip:,,%. 4. then put through a 4 dimensional with an output gain of: 1-frequency=5.90,, 2-frequency=210,, 3-frequency=9.88,, 4-frequency=6.02,, 5. then through a dynamic tube with an output of -15.0 and a tone value of 1. 6. then the signal is routed to an 8 dimensional with an output gain of -12.0: 1-frequency=135,, 2-frequency=2.32,, 3-frequency=1.58,, 4-frequency=441,, 5-frequency=6.13,, 6-frequency=80.9,, 7-frequency=130,, 8-frequency=3.73,, 7. then the signal was put through volume utility to bring it down to -6.67 8. i then applied dynamics to clear up the signal: input: highs applied at 300=-24.0 mid=-3.50 lows applied at=-14.5 output: mid=-4.40 low= channel output: 9. the signal was then put through another as a digital clip:,, width 100% 10. then another frequency shifter going up 100 and fine tuned up to. 11. then the signal is put through 2 volume utilities. one at -35, then one at -20.6. 12. the signal is then routed to a 6 dimensional with an output gain of -3.94: 1-frequency=2.41,, 2-frequency=425,, 3-frequency=3.81,, 4-frequency= 106hz,, 5-frequency=965,, 6-frequency=659,, 13. the signal goes again to another dynamics channel: input: highs applied at=-15.2 mid=-4.60 lows applied at 120=0.00 output: mid=5.40 low=0.00 channel output: 14. then i put the sample through a mastering rack: low mid high comp amount- 100% comp ratio- 1 : eq intensity- 200% stereo width- 190% limit gain- 15. and finally the signal is put through one more volume utility to bring it down -14.4. <click here to download audio file> the result was a clearly audible conversation between men. the language spoken is in english and they are conversing about something (a machine of some sorts) that they are trying to get "working" until something abruptly happens. so far, two names have been able to be and gene. chuck is the main voice in the transmission, though you can hear them all interacting. gene seems to be the leader of the group and chuck may or may not be above the others in this is not military. military operations do not converse in this fashion nor do they address each other by first name during operations. please note that the technical data above is what initially brought the signal into a comprehensive form for me to begin something of transliteration. i have since experimented in changing those processing values variably to bring forth a conclusive interpretation of what exactly is being said in this transmission. here is the transcription, of what my opinion is, on what is being said: (there is one part that i am definitely not sure of, but i will at least guess since this part of the decoding is not actual science and all that's left to do is assume. that part is designated with a (?). i welcome other opinions.) the result was a. the language spoken is in english and they are conversing about

but i also believe that these ideas are just scratching the surface of the bigger picture. time or dimensional manipulation may be a thought regarding this could say that it is possible that the guys in this transmission could be trapped in time, or somehow inside of another dimension, possibly from an american military project gone wrong and maybe the routes of communication exist for them where these pyramids exist for us...? who knows, but we certainly are living in exciting times aren't we..." mike tate this email address is being protected from spambots. you need javascript enabled to

the state department of health care services is seeking to revoke the license of costa mesa substance abuse facility pacific coast detox, after a patient died at the center and staff was accused of falsifying his medical records. state spokeswoman carol sloan said the license has been suspended pending the outcome of a revocation hearing, which was requested by pacific coast. a date has not yet been set. officials at the detox center did not respond to phone calls or an email requesting comment on monday. pacific website says it provides clinical detoxification services for substances including alcohol, heroin, opiates and other prescription drugs. according to legal documents issued nov. 7, an unidentified male patient died while at pacific coast. state certification standards require a newly admitted patient to be checked at least every 30 minutes during the first 12 hours after admission to monitor withdrawal symptoms. the state investigation, however, found that pacific coast did not check the patient as frequently as required and “staff entered false information in file,” the documents say. at some point, staff attempted to awaken the patient without success. the documents say that as paramedics were on their way, two staff members made false entries suggesting checks had been made. investigators observed security camera footage and found the patient was checked only once, though the documents, which contain partial redactments, specify over what time period. contact the writer:	ðə steɪt dɪˈpɑrtmənt əv hɛlθ kɛr ˈsərvɪsɪz ɪz ˈsikɪŋ tɪ rɪˈvoʊk ðə ˈlaɪsəns əv ˈkɔstɑ ˈmeɪsə ˈsəbstəns əˈbjuz fəˈsɪlɪti pəˈsɪfɪk koʊst ˈdiˌtɑks, ˈæftər ə ˈpeɪʃənt daɪd æt ðə ˈsɛnər ənd stæf wɑz əˈkjuzd əv ˈfɔlsəˌfaɪɪŋ hɪz ˈmɛdɪkəl ˈrɛkərdz. steɪt ˈspoʊksˌwʊmən ˈkɛrəl sloʊn sɛd ðə ˈlaɪsəns həz bɪn səˈspɛndɪd ˈpɛndɪŋ ðə ˈaʊtˌkəm əv ə ˌrɛvəˈkeɪʃən ˈhirɪŋ, wɪʧ wɑz rɪkˈwɛstɪd baɪ pəˈsɪfɪk koʊst. ə deɪt həz nɑt jɛt bɪn sɛt. əˈfɪʃəlz æt ðə ˈdiˌtɑks ˈsɛnər dɪd nɑt rɪˈspɑnd tɪ foʊn kɔlz ər ən iˈmeɪl rɪkˈwɛstɪŋ ˈkɑmɛnt ɔn ˈmənˌdeɪ. pəˈsɪfɪk ˈwɛbˌsaɪt sɪz ɪt prəˈvaɪdz ˈklɪnɪkəl dɪˌtɑksɪfɪˈkeɪʃən ˈsərvɪsɪz fər ˈsəbstənsɪz ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ˈælkəˌhɑl, ˈhɛroʊən, ˈoʊpiəts ənd ˈəðər prəˈskrɪpʃən drəgz. əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ˈligəl ˈdɑkjəmənts ˈɪʃud noʊv. 7 ən ˌənaɪˈdɛntəˌfaɪd meɪl ˈpeɪʃənt daɪd waɪl æt pəˈsɪfɪk koʊst. steɪt ˌsərtəfəˈkeɪʃən ˈstændərdz ˌrikˈwaɪər ə ˈnuli ədˈmɪtəd ˈpeɪʃənt tɪ bi ʧɛkt æt list ˈɛvəri 30 ˈmɪnəts ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə fərst 12 aʊərz ˈæftər ədˈmɪʃən tɪ ˈmɑnətər wɪθˈdrɔəl ˈsɪmptəmz. ðə steɪt ˌɪnˌvɛstəˈgeɪʃən, ˌhaʊˈɛvər, faʊnd ðət pəˈsɪfɪk koʊst dɪd nɑt ʧɛk ðə ˈpeɪʃənt ɛz ˈfrikwɛntli ɛz rikˈwaɪərd ənd ˈɛnərd fɔls ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən ɪn file,”,” ðə ˈdɑkjəmənts seɪ. æt səm pɔɪnt, stæf əˈtɛmptəd tɪ əˈweɪkən ðə ˈpeɪʃənt wɪˈθaʊt səkˈsɛs. ðə ˈdɑkjəmənts seɪ ðət ɛz ˌpɛrəˈmɛdɪks wər ɔn ðɛr weɪ, tu stæf ˈmɛmbərz meɪd fɔls ˈɛntriz səˈʤɛstɪŋ ʧɛks hæd bɪn meɪd. ˌɪnˈvɛstəˌgeɪtərz əbˈzərvd sɪˈkjʊrəti ˈkæmərə ˈfʊtɪʤ ənd faʊnd ðə ˈpeɪʃənt wɑz ʧɛkt ˈoʊnli wəns, ðoʊ ðə ˈdɑkjəmənts, wɪʧ kənˈteɪn ˈpɑrʃəl redactments, ˈspɛsəˌfaɪ ˈoʊvər wət taɪm ˈpɪriəd. ˈkɑnˌtækt ðə ˈraɪtər:
today at event in san francisco, apple had a bunch of cinema display monitors mounted together on a wall showing what looked to be some sort of pulsating canvas. but a closer look revealed that it was actually a huge collection of icons for many of the apps available in the app store, arranged by color. apparently, when someone purchased one, that icon would pulsate, creating the effect. while it quite real-time, nor was it entirely representative of all the more than apps in the app store, the visualization was pretty damn cool. prettier than the google holodeck and it gave off less heat. not surprisingly, onlookers were mesmerized by the pulsating apps. check out the pictures below and watch the video. it reminded me a bit of the lines of code falling down that the crew of the would see when trying to look into the the matrix only with fart apps.	təˈdeɪ æt ɪˈvɛnt ɪn sæn frænˈsɪskoʊ, ˈæpəl hæd ə bənʧ əv ˈsɪnəmə dɪˈspleɪ ˈmɑnətərz ˈmaʊnɪd təˈgɛðər ɔn ə wɔl ʃoʊɪŋ wət lʊkt tɪ bi səm sɔrt əv ˈpəlˌseɪtɪŋ ˈkænvəs. bət ə ˈkloʊzər lʊk rɪˈvild ðət ɪt wɑz ˈæˌkʧuəli ə juʤ kəˈlɛkʃən əv ˈaɪˌkɑnz fər ˈmɛni əv ðə æps əˈveɪləbəl ɪn ðə æp stɔr, əreɪnʤd baɪ ˈkələr. əˈpɛrəntli, wɪn ˈsəmˌwən ˈpərʧəst wən, ðət ˈaɪkɑn wʊd pulsate*, kriˈeɪtɪŋ ðə ˈifɛkt. waɪl ɪt kwaɪt ˈrilˌtaɪm, nɔr wɑz ɪt ɪnˈtaɪərli ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnətɪv əv ɔl ðə mɔr ðən æps ɪn ðə æp stɔr, ðə ˌvɪʒwələˈzeɪʃən wɑz ˈprɪti dæm kul. ˈprɪtiər ðən ðə ˈgugəl ˈhɔloʊˌdɛk ənd ɪt geɪv ɔf lɛs hit. nɑt səˈpraɪzɪŋli, ˈɔnˌlʊkərz wər ˈmɛzmərˌaɪzd baɪ ðə ˈpəlˌseɪtɪŋ æps. ʧɛk aʊt ðə ˈpɪkʧərz bɪˈloʊ ənd wɔʧ ðə ˈvɪdioʊ. ɪt riˈmaɪndɪd mi ə bɪt əv ðə laɪnz əv koʊd ˈfɑlɪŋ daʊn ðət ðə kru əv ðə wʊd si wɪn traɪɪŋ tɪ lʊk ˈɪntu ðə ðə ˈmeɪtrɪks ˈoʊnli wɪθ fɑrt æps.
(permanent musical accompaniment to the last post of the week from the favourite living canadian) this report from the intercept got rather lost in the shuffle over the past two weeks, but it's no less chilling than it was the first time i read it. it seems that, almost covertly, the fbi has been tracking the infiltration into law enforcement of extremists. "federal law enforcement agencies in general the fbi, the marshals, the are aware that extremists have infiltrated state and local law enforcement agencies and that there are people in law enforcement agencies that may be sympathetic to these groups," said daryl johnson, who was the lead researcher on the report. johnson, who now runs analytics, a consulting firm that analyzes domestic extremism, says the problem has since gotten "a lot more troublesome." as the intercept story makes clear, critical to the rise of these groups within law enforcement was the severe backlash by mainstream conservatives to a 2009 report by the department of homeland security that revealed that groups and domestic terrorist organizations had been recruiting heavily among a number of groups in the country, especially among returning military veterans. mainstream conservatives went completely bananas and, to her discredit, secretary donna shalala killed the report, apologized to various veterans groups, and disbanded the unit within her department that had done the research. "they stopped doing intel on that, and that was that," heidi beirich, who leads the southern poverty law center's tracking of extremist groups, told the intercept. "the fbi in theory investigates terrorism and extremism, but they have limited resources. the loss of that unit was a loss for a lot of people who did this kind of work." that, of course, presented the people who actually were doing the recruiting with a glorious opportunity, of which they took full advantage. critics fear that the backlash following the 2009 report hindered further action against the growing white supremacist threat, and that it was largely ignored because the issue was so politically controversial. "i believe that because that report was so denounced by conservatives, it sort of closed the door on whatever the fbi may have been considering doing with respect to combating infiltration of law enforcement by white supremacists," said samuel jones, a professor of law at the john marshall law school in chicago who has written about white power ideology in law enforcement. "because after the 2006 fbi report, we simply cannot find anything by local law enforcement or the federal government that addresses this issue." pete simi, a sociologist at chapman university who spent decades studying the proliferation of white supremacists in the u.s. military, agreed. "the report underscores the problem of even discussing this issue. it underscores how difficult this issue is to get any traction on, because a lot of people don't want to discuss this, let alone actually do something about it." simi said that the extremist strategy to infiltrate the military and law enforcement has existed "for decades." in a study he conducted of individuals indicted for activities, he found that at least 31 percent had military experience. this takes place in the context of a tacit policy of extremism, particularly in the days since the attacks. as the say, read the whole thing, and then think about what might happen in the case of widespread civil disobedience. dogs: lie down with, get fleas. i am going to reserve judgment on the moral component of this idea until after i see the interview. sunlight, disinfectant, i get that, and generally, i agree with it. however, i can understand fully why, for example, the parents and friends of the schoolchildren murdered at sandy hook are steaming with outrage. alex jones is a blight, and a swindler, and a nut. i don't suspect that anything kelly manages to get out of him will change any of those opinions. the fact that he's already got his victim drag on leads me to believe that the whole effort likely was futile and worthless. but, we shall see what we shall see. weekly pick to click: "eh las bas" (danny barker): yeah, i still pretty much love new orleans. weekly visit to the pathe archives: here's marlene dietrich, singing in russia. this is not to be confused with singing about russia, which i suspect will be a serious choral work in a few weeks. this was my favorite thing on the this week. it was what convinced me that maine woman is the exact opposite of florida man. and a great job by the reporter. from the bangor daily news: she met her mother, elizabeth, at home, and together they drove immediately to pen bay medical center. the dead raccoon was retrieved by dad, who packed it into a taste of the wild dog food bag and handed it over to the maine warden service. hope animal control officer heidi blood confirmed wednesday that the dead raccoon later tested positive for rabies by the maine center for disease control. "not to scare people," blood said, but "when there's one [infected], there's typically another." the reporter, alex acquisto, gets many props for including the precise brand of dog food of the bag used to transport the dead raccoon. is it a good day for dinosaur news, ibtuk? it's always a good day for dinosaur news! the reptile a new species of has been named itilensis, which translates as spirit and master of the volga river. the large marine creature was a fully grown adult, at roughly 5 metres long from tip to tail. it was found 20 kilometres to the north of the city of ulyanovsk, in russia… the reptile was unlike any other advanced of its time. the - a group of marine reptiles including thes - were thought to feed primarily on large marine animals and fish. the group included some of the most deadly predators on the planet. i wouldn't mind going down through history known as the spirit and master of the volga river. there is some risk, however, that paul manafort may have the copyright on that and will now have to fight the descendants of the in court. i'm rooting for the representatives of the things that lived then to make us happy now. the members of the committee always are suckers for the classics, so top commenter chris curtis is this week's top commenter of the week for this blast from the far distant past. "does not dionysius seem to have made it sufficiently clear that there can be nothing happy for the person over whom some fear always looms?" that's some serious from 2400 years ago. indeed it is, good sir. take out of petty cash. i'll be checking in monday from georgia as heads into the clubhouse turn. be well and play nice, ya bastids. stay above the snakeline, or i shall summon the spirit of the volga, and you'll be in real trouble. respond to this post on the esquire politics facebook page.

jameis winston showed up in tampa bay last with high expectations, a considerable amount of scrutiny and a lot of bucs fans wondering if the organization might have the franchise quarterback they have been searching for over their nfl history. after one season, many think winston is the real deal and will eventually get the bucs back into the playoffs for the first time since 2007. former starter mike glennon deserves some of the credit for success, and the former star will be the first to say so. but what might surprise some is, if you ask glennon, he says winston has helped him become a better quarterback as well. “he has been great ever since he has gotten here,” glennon said. “i am a veteran, but i think i can take some things from everyone. i can learn from, or even ryan (griffin) and dan (lefevour). some of us are better in certain areas of our game than others so we can all take things from each other. and is a great example of that. not only with the way he plays, but the way he leads among other things. so i try and help him out as much as i can, and i think without me even asking questions i learn things from him just watching him play and act.” while most are expecting the bucs to lose glennon to free agency next spring, general manager jason licht told that the former n.c. state standout is the consummate professional about the situation and there is no animosity. “i think if you talk to mike about beaming,” licht said. “he have any objections. he think he should be starting ahead of. he gets it.” quarterback coach mike earlier this year also raved about work ethic and willingness to help development. “he’s been phenomenal in the meeting room, helping adjust to being a pro, to the mental preparation involved on a basis,” said. “mike’s been around the block. been a part of several different offenses. very intelligent and excited to have him on this team.” “i think the world of mike, and said that since day one. he is an unbelievable professional. unbelievably talented mike can definitely start (for) a lot of teams in this league. not just start, but start and have very good success. i truly believe that. excited to have him, because if anything happens to (winston), i feel we have a guy who can come in and execute at a very, very high level.” glennon is very competitive and confident in his abilities and most likely is looking forward to competing for a starting job elsewhere by this time next year. but in the mean time he is taking what he can from winston, while also giving some back. “our personalities are definitely different but at the same time you can take some of the things he says and how the guys react to it,” glennon said. “for sure two different personalities but there are still things i can grab from him. like me being a little more passionate and he can grab from me being a little calmer sometimes. so i think we have a good balance of each other and can take things from each other.”	jameis* ˈwɪnstən ʃoʊd əp ɪn ˈtæmpə beɪ læst wɪθ haɪ ˌɛkspɛkˈteɪʃənz, ə kənˈsɪdərəbəl əˈmaʊnt əv ˈskrutəni ənd ə lɔt əv bəks fænz ˈwəndərɪŋ ɪf ðə ˌɔrgənəˈzeɪʃən maɪt hæv ðə ˈfrænˌʧaɪz

by “the crimes of the united states have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. you have to hand it to america. it has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good.” -harold pinter, nobel acceptance speech “obama is just a willing executioner. from the ruling point of view, the perfect figurehead because his mere appearance confuses and so many. he seems to have spent his whole life trying to get chosen to play judas. and all there is in his resume.” -bevin, comments line, moon of alabama according to a wall street news poll, barack ratings have dipped to a new low of 41 percent with a full 54 percent of respondents saying they “disapproved” of the job doing. handling of the economy, health care and foreign policy were particular areas of concern for most respondents. on health care, obama is seen as having strengthened the for-profit insurance industry with little benefit for ordinary working people. the survey also showed “the approval” for the handling of foreign policy. and, on the economy, the results were even more shocking; a full 57% of the people polled “believe the u.s. is still in a recession” while percent think the country is on the wrong track”. widespread disappointment in performance has weakened his support among blacks, hispanics and women, traditionally, the most loyal groups in the base. there’s no doubt that obama has been hurt by the anemic recovery or by focusing on deficit reduction instead of job creation. high unemployment, flat wages and shrinking incomes have weighed heavily on expectations, which has put a damper on consumption and growth. economic confidence index now shows a “sharp decline in the outlook for the future” …”with some 57 percent of the respondents saying things are getting worse, not better.” indeed, things have gotten worse under obama, much worse, which is why many of his most ardent supporters are falling off the bandwagon. and the disappointment is not limited to economic policy either. recent surveys confirm what most people already know, that the public is tired of the interventions, the provocations, the meddling and the endless wars. the american people are increasingly isolationist and want the government to disengage from foreign conflicts. an excerpt from a recent survey by pew that sums up the mood of the country: “for the first time since 1964, more than half (52%) agree that the u.s. should “mind its own business internationally and let other countries get along the best they can on their own;” 38% disagree, according to a survey conducted oct.-nov. 2013. similarly, 80% agree with the statement, “we should not think so much in international terms but concentrate more on our own national problems and building up our strength and prosperity here at home.” (u.s. foreign policy: key data points from pew research, pew research center) the pew poll merely expands on the findings in other surveys like this from the la times: “two thirds of americans questioned in a recent poll said the war fought in been worth the price paid in lives and dollars… the survey conducted for the media by langer research associates of new york found that disillusionment with the war was expressed by a majority of all political leanings. overall, 66% of respondents said the war been worth it. those who identified themselves as liberals were most unhappy with the military investment: 78% said the war was a mistake.” (poll: two thirds of americans say afghan war not worth fighting, la times) the same is true of iraq. the war worth fighting. check this out on abc news: “ten years after u.s. airstrikes on baghdad punctuated the start of the iraq war, nearly six in 10 americans say the war was not worth fighting a judgment shared by majorities steadily since initial success gave way to years of continued conflict. nearly as many in the latest abc post poll say the same about the war in afghanistan. and while criticisms of both wars are down from their peaks, the intensity of sentiment remains high, with strong critics far outweighing strong supporters.” (a decade on, most are critical of the war in iraq, abc news) and that brings us to today and the looming prospect of a war with russia over developments in the crimea. what people are thinking according to a survey in the washington post: “a new poll suggests americans have very little appetite for any real involvement in the crisis in ukraine. only 29 percent of americans would like for the obama administration to take a ‘firm stand’ against incursion into its neighbor, according to the pew research center poll, while nearly twice as many 56 percent prefer the united states not to get too involved in ukraine. the poll reflects a american public that is still very reticent to get involved in international conflicts. the american people were similarly opposed to military intervention in syria last year, despite president obama calling for the use of force and seeking congressional approval for action.” (few americans want ‘firm stand’ against russia in ukraine, washington post) of course, obama care the american people want. going to do what he to do; crack down on civil liberties, strangle the economy, and spread war across the planet. as far as the warmongering doing an even better job than bush. believe me? just check out this clip from the international business times: “in their annual end of year poll, researchers for win and gallup international surveyed more than people across 65 nations and found that 24 percent of all respondents answered that the united states “is the greatest threat to peace in the world today.” pakistan and china fell significantly behind the united states on the poll, with 8 and 6 percent, respectively.” (in gallup poll, the biggest threat to world peace is… america?, ibt) there you have it, the obama presidency in a nutshell: “the united states is the greatest threat to peace in the world today.” keep in mind, this survey taken during the bush years. oh no. this is all doing, every bit of it. let’s summarize: the majority of americans think obama is doing a lousy job. they think the economy stinks, and they think their financial situation is getting worse. they also think the country is on the wrong track, that america is a threat to world peace, and that they want anymore goddamned wars. check, check, check, check and check. so, what do you think the obama reaction to this public outpouring has been? i’ll tell you what been. happy. right, happy. despite the plunging poll numbers and dwindling public support, the obama team feels vindicated by the fact that not as widely reviled as the bush administration. their benchmark: bush. and they could be on to something too, after all, who would have thought that a president could repeal habeas corpus, destroy the economy, launch wars and coups like going out of style, vaporize hundreds of innocent people in drone attacks, intensify surveillance on every man, woman and child in the united states, and claim the right to assassinate us citizens without due process, without inciting millions of enraged americans to grab their pitchforks and head to washington? that’s what would have happened if bush was still in office, right? but obama gets a “pass”. why? because an articulate, charismatic black man who the vast majority of still admire. can you believe it? obama represents everything these people profess to hate–war, drone attacks, gitmo, austerity, wall street (no prosecutions), indefinite detention, executive privilege (to assassinate) yet they still put the man on a pedestal. which is why we think that obama is the greatest public relations invention of all-time; a beaming, exuberant, galvanic paragon who embodies all the laudatory characteristics of leadership and the same time– is able to carry out the most despicable, inhuman acts without the slightest hesitation or remorse. he is man who feels nothing towards his fellow human beings, neither empathy, compassion, or mercy. what matters to obama is that he faithfully follow the script been written for him by his miscreant handlers, that odious amalgam of cutthroat corporatists, bank mandarins and ivy league who make up kleptocracy. the best description of obama ever read was in the comments section of a foreign policy called moon of alabama by a blogger named “bevin”. what he said: “i think that obama is completely empty of a willing executioner. from the ruling point of view he is the perfect figurehead because his mere appearance confuses and so many. he seems to have spent his whole life trying to get chosen to play judas. and that is all there is in his resume… they present him as negligent, never responsible, never intentionally connected to an evil act, never drawn into the acts of duplicity by a conscious intent. this is the false image, the disinformation projected about who he is… it strikes me that obama is all those things. and that this is the core of the evil in him- that he is without conscience or principle, just an ordinary butcher going about his business, fulfilling the terms of his employment, doing what he was asked to do… you see him as focused and intentional. i see him as someone who will sign a stack of death warrants without reading them, or thinking about them again. remember just after november 2008, waiting to take office, how the israelis attacked gaza, obviously to show him who is boss? you sense that even they were surprised at the insouciance with which he watched those extraordinary massacres pass before his eyes? he care. and he was, at last, relieved of the chore of pretending that he did care about such things. really what he likes about being president: he can relax while the killing goes on, he need to pretend it bothers him, he need to pass any kind of moral judgment. remember when he asked his “have you ever killed men?” the reply he got was “only men who were weak.” he has adhered to that moral standard ever since.” (bevin, moon of alabama) that perfectly summarizes the man; an empty gourd who never had any intention of fulfilling his promises, who has utter disdain for the fools that voted for him, and who finds it as easy to kill a man, his family and his kids, as to swat a fly on his forearm. as bevin notes obama “is a pure confidence man and a sociopath.” and now the sociopath has focused his attention on ukraine where determined to draw russia into a conflict over the crimea even though moscow has assisted the us in the war on terror, removed its heavy weapons from the western part of russia, reduced its conventional military by troops, and fulfilled all its obligations under the adapted conventional armed forces treaty inrope (acaf). moscow has done everything that was asked of it. and what has washington done in return. how valentin mândrăşescu, editor of the voice of reality check, sums it up on the testosterone pit website: “washington has defaulted on all of its key agreements made with during the last 30 years. gorbachev was promised that easternrope would not be taken into nato. country by country became part of nato and yugoslavia was dismantled despite objections. the us acted as the winner of the cold war and guided its policies by the famous principle of “vae victis!” woe to the vanquished!” (valentin mândrăşescu, editor of the voice of reality check, from now on, no compromises are possible with russia, testosterone pit) since the breakup of the soviet union, the us has surrounded russia with military bases, trained troops in georgia that were eventually used to fight russia in south ossetia, instigated numerous revolutions in former soviet states, and started to deploy a missile defense system in easternrope that will give washington nuclear weapons capability that will destroy “the strategic equilibrium in the world” and force putin to resume the arms race. that’s how washington makes friends; by stomping their face into the pavement every chance it gets. sound familiar? on wednesday, obama met with imposter prime minister, yatsenyuk, at the white house in a attempt to lend credibility to the coup government. obama used the white house event to applaud the putsch and to promise support for the aggressively government. shortly after obama finished his statement,s released copies of a resolution that was issued by theropean parliament just 15 months earlier condemning the groups which are now part of the ukrainian government. a blurb from the text of that resolution: “theropean concerned about the rising nationalistic sentiment in ukraine, expressed in support for the svoboda party, which, as a result, is one of the two new parties to enter the rada; recalls that racist, and xenophobic views go against the fundamental values and principles and therefore appeals to parties in the rada not to associate with, endorse or form coalitions with this party.” (moon of alabama) how do you like that? so theropean parliament saw the danger of these groups and denounced them before they had a change of heart and realized that these died-in-the-wool, neo-nazi, might be able to help them advance their foreign policy objectives. now the nations are lining up behind obama doing his to provoke putin so he can push nato to borders, take control of critical pipeline corridors and vital resources, and install weapons systems on perimeter. these are the goals despite the threat they pose to democracy, security, and regional stability, not to mention the possibility of a third world war. bottom line: you get to be “the greatest threat to world peace” without really applying yourself. obama wants to prove up to the task. regrettably, we think he is. mike whitney lives in washington state. he is a contributor to hopeless: barack obama and the politics of illusion press). hopeless is also available in a kindle edition. he can be reached at fergiewhitney@msn.com.	baɪ kraɪmz əv ðə juˈnaɪtɪd steɪts hæv bɪn ˌsɪstəˈmætɪk, ˈkɑnstənt, ˈvɪʃəs, rɪˈmɔrsləs, bət ˈvɛri fju ˈpipəl hæv ˈæˌkʧuəli tɔkt əˈbaʊt ðɛm. ju hæv tɪ hænd ɪt tɪ əˈmɛrɪkə. ɪt həz ˈɛksərˌsaɪzd ə kwaɪt ˈklɪnɪkəl məˌnɪpjəˈleɪʃən əv paʊər ˈwərldˈwaɪd waɪl ˌmæskərˈeɪdɪŋ ɛz ə fɔrs fər ˌjunəˈvərsəl good.”.” -ˈhɛrəld ˈpaɪntər, noʊˈbɛl əkˈsɛptəns spiʧ ɪz ʤɪst ə ˈwɪlɪŋ ˌɛksəˈkjuʃənər. frəm ðə ˈrulɪŋ pɔɪnt əv vju, ðə ˈpərˌfɪkt ˈfɪgjərˌhɛd bɪˈkəz hɪz mɪr əˈpɪrəns kənfˈjuzɪz ənd soʊ ˈmɛni. hi simz tɪ hæv spɛnt hɪz hoʊl laɪf traɪɪŋ tɪ gɪt ˈʧoʊzən tɪ pleɪ ˈʤudəs. ənd ɔl ðɛr ɪz ɪn hɪz resume.”.” -ˈbɛvɪn, ˈkɑmɛnts laɪn, mun əv ˌæləˈbæmə əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ ə wɔl strit nuz poʊl, ˈbɑrək ˈreɪtɪŋz hæv dɪpt tɪ ə nu loʊ əv 41 pərˈsɛnt wɪθ ə fʊl 54 pərˈsɛnt əv rɪˈspɑndənts seɪɪŋ ðeɪ ““disapproved”” əv ðə ʤɑb duɪŋ. ˈhændəlɪŋ əv ðə ɪˈkɑnəmi, hɛlθ kɛr ənd ˈfɔrən ˈpɑləsi wər ˌpɑˈtɪkjələr ˈɛriəz əv kənˈsərn fər moʊst rɪˈspɑndənts. ɔn hɛlθ kɛr, ˌoʊˈbɑmə ɪz sin ɛz ˈhævɪŋ ˈstrɛŋθənd ðə ˌfərˈprɑfɪt ˌɪnˈʃʊrəns ˈɪndəstri wɪθ ˈlɪtəl ˈbɛnəfɪt fər ˈɔrdəˌnɛri ˈwərkɪŋ ˈpipəl. ðə ˈsərˌveɪ ˈɔlsoʊ ʃoʊd approval”” fər ðə ˈhændəlɪŋ əv ˈfɔrən ˈpɑləsi. ənd, ɔn ðə ɪˈkɑnəmi, ðə rɪˈzəlts wər ˈivɪn mɔr ˈʃɑkɪŋ;

"i feel she is a secular leader and will not go with or observers would like to connect it with another development in delhi where the imam severed ties with party. his son-in-law ali khan resigned from the up cabinet. if the imam supports, it would be a boost to her attempt to go national and blunt the opposition allegation of a "covert understanding" with.trinamool congress sultan ahmed said, "the imam has made his own assessment on the minority development works being undertaken in bengal. he holds a respectable position and if he endorses banerjee as the prime minister, many people will pay rehman, the senior cleric who leads red road eid namaz, had a different take. "to me, banerjee is a secular leader. we need secular leaders in new delhi. but i wouldn't like to say that she is the only such leader. i would choose to disagree with on it," rehman banerjee has made a start in bengal. but a lot needs to be done. many projects for minorities are yet to take off for apparent lack of funds yet the government doesn't dither to spend in functions. it is not time yet to say that everything has been done. people will not believe it," he mosque imam said, banerjee is a secular face. we need leaders like her in the centre. it will help people. she is doing her bit for bengal, i believe given time she will do even better." the imam said he would like as the prime minister, if only, to halt the communal forces. "else it will be a disaster," he has 27% muslim population which wields a considerable influence in at least 140 assembly seats out of 294. said he would visit the state in inputs)	taɪmz nuz networkkolkata: ˈæftər ˈænə ɪt ɪz naʊ ðə tərn əv ˈaɪmæm əv ˈdɛliz ˈʤæmə saɪd ˈɑmɛd tɪ ɛnˈdɔrs bəˈnərʤi ɛz ə fˈjuʧər praɪm ˈmɪnɪstər, seɪɪŋ, "ʃi wʊd meɪk ə ˈbɛtər praɪm ˈmɪnɪstər fər ˈsɛkjələr ˈɪndiə ðən, ðə ˈaɪmæm hæd ˈrɪtən tɪ ɔl ʧif ˈmɪnɪstərz ɔn ˈʤænjuˌɛri 30 ˌɪnkˈwaɪərɪŋ əˈbaʊt ðə ˌɪmpləmɛnˈteɪʃən əv ˌrɛkəmənˈdeɪʃənz əv ðə kəˈmɪʃən. ˈoʊnli rɪˈplaɪd ɔn ˈfɛbruˌɛri 19 dɪˈteɪlɪŋ ðə wərk ʃi hæd dən fər goʊɪŋ θru ðə ˈditeɪlz əv ðə dɪˌvɛləpˈmɛnəl wərk ðət ʃi həz dən fər ðə dɪˈvɛləpmənt əv məˈnɔrətiz ənd ˈməzlɪmz ɪn ðə steɪt, aɪ ˈpərsənəli fil ˈɪndiə nidz ə ˈsɛkjələr ˈlidər laɪk hər hu bɪˈlivz ɪn wərk ənd nɑt lɪp ˈsərvɪs," sɛd.

does your dog have a sense of self? does your cat live her life with awareness or is she just a pet with mechanical eyes set in an unanimated, furry face? birds, dolphins, elephants, mice, human beings... do any creatures other than people possess what we call consciousness? the fur might fly this summer at the first scientific conference to put that question on the stand. brain researchers from around the world are set to gather july 7 at the university of cambridge for what is being billed as the first annual francis crick memorial conference (named after sir francis crick, who, after the structure of dna, set his mind to unraveling the mysteries of consciousness). the meeting could mark the turning point in our assessment of how much we have in common with fido, flipper and even houseflies. or not. when the question is, "do animals have emotional and intellectual lives?", the scientific community can fight like cats and dogs. "over the years, people have come to agree that animals have a level of perceptual consciousness," says irene, a comparative psychologist and author of the new york times bestseller alex and me (harpercollins 2009). in her book, demonstrated that parrots are capable of intelligent communication. "animals process information and make decisions. the extent to which they ruminate at the next level - being aware of being aware - is difficult to nail down. it's difficult to ask." pepperberg points to mirror studies in which elephants and dolphins seem to recognize themselves, a rarity in the animal world as anyone with a dog and a mirror can tell you. such has been linked to empathy and deception. "some experts say mirror tests tell us something," she says. but others, she adds, point out that children who pass similar mirror tests are confused when their mothers enter the room during the test. "they run behind the mirror and look for her." pepperberg is to parrots what jane is to chimps; her work is helping us understand the animal mind. many of us gained entry to the debate on animal consciousness through the delightfully written, heartfelt alex and me. also is author of and the more scholarly alex studies and her research will be presented at the conference. for 30 years, from june 1977 to september 2007, studied an african grey parrot named alex. by the time alex died, the duo had shattered our previous conception of what constituted a "bird brain." birds, claimed, were capable of intelligent communication. but her findings met strong resistance. professionally and personally, ran an obstacle course to reach the point at which her research was taken seriously. although today she is an adjunct associate professor of psychology at brandeis university and a research associate in psychology at harvard university, the scientific community marginalized her and her work for years. her initial research, probing whether a parrot can use english labels to refer to objects, was rejected by the leading scientific journals nature and science. meanwhile, the road to research funding was paved with rejection letters. "i was not only using an unconventional subject, i was using unconventional training techniques and unconventional testing techniques," she said. (in a 2011 interview with nova, she told interviewer neil degrasse tyson, "the first grant proposal came back asking what i was smoking.") a lack of steady and enthusiastic support was nothing new to, who says she grew up with a cold and distant mother who blamed her daughter's birth for her own failed career as a bookkeeper. "in those days, when you got pregnant, you got fired," she says. like marie curie, persevered through professional and personal hindrances. despite cramped lab space and little funding, her research continued on borrowed time at a handful of supportive universities, including purdue, northwestern and university of arizona. alex and me recounts her many roadblocks and eventual breakthroughs. with a scientist's restraint she writes of the day that alex, who could count to six, was shown a tray of objects and asked, "how many green wool?" the answer was two. but alex repeatedly "one" or "four.", suspecting alex was messing with her, gave him a time out in his room. as she closed his door, the bird protested. sorry." on the night before alex died in 2007,, who was careful for scientific reasons to call alex's vocal production "labels" instead of "words," bid him goodnight. "you be good. i love you." those were alex's last vocalizations, not's. like every great story, this one had a denouement. the premature death (greys' average lifespan is 60 years) prompted an outpouring of grief worldwide. the economist published a lengthy obituary. the new york times science section led with the story. cnn, the associated press, the guardian, all things considered, nature news and other media outlets paid him tribute. thousands of unsolicited emails and letters of shared grief found their way to the indefatigable scientist whose work had been roped off for years like a crime scene. let the scientists fight all they want, these messages seemed to say. we know why your heart is breaking. you have lost someone you loved and who felt some emotion for you in return. no doubt the scientists at the francis crick memorial conference this summer will hotly debate the topic of creature consciousness. the ideas are in their infancy and the answers, says, "await discovery."	dɪz jʊr dɔg hæv ə sɛns əv sɛlf? dɪz jʊr kæt lɪv hər laɪf wɪθ əˈwɛrnəs ər ɪz ʃi ʤɪst ə pɛt wɪθ məˈkænɪkəl aɪz sɛt ɪn ən unanimated, ˈfəri feɪs? bərdz, ˈdɑlfənz, ˈɛləfənts, maɪs, ˈjumən biɪŋz... du ˈɛni ˈkriʧərz ˈəðər ðən ˈpipəl pəˈzɛs wət wi kɔl ˈkɑnʃəsnəs? ðə fər maɪt flaɪ ðɪs ˈsəmər æt ðə fərst ˌsaɪənˈtɪfɪk ˈkɑnfərəns tɪ pʊt ðət kˈwɛʃən ɔn ðə stænd. breɪn ˈrisərʧərz frəm əraʊnd ðə wərld ər sɛt tɪ ˈgæðər ˌʤuˈlaɪ 7 æt ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti əv ˈkeɪmbrɪʤ fər wət ɪz biɪŋ bɪld ɛz ðə fərst ˈænjuəl ˈfrænsɪs krɪk məˈmɔriəl ˈkɑnfərəns (neɪmd ˈæftər sər ˈfrænsɪs krɪk, hu, ˈæftər ðə ˈstrəkʧər əv ˈdiˌɛˈneɪ, sɛt hɪz maɪnd tɪ ənˈrævəlɪŋ ðə ˈmɪstəriz əv ˈkɑnʃəsnəs). ðə ˈmitɪŋ kʊd mɑrk ðə ˈtərnɪŋ pɔɪnt ɪn ɑr əˈsɛsmənt əv haʊ məʧ wi hæv ɪn ˈkɑmən wɪθ ˈfaɪdoʊ, ˈflɪpər ənd ˈivɪn houseflies. ər nɑt. wɪn ðə kˈwɛʃən ɪz, "du ˈænəməlz hæv ˈiˌmoʊʃənəl ənd ˌɪnəˈlɛkʧuəl lɪvz?", ðə ˌsaɪənˈtɪfɪk kəmˈjunɪti kən faɪt laɪk kæts ənd dɔgz.

thousands of gas wells have been drilled in utah's basin. an investigation by noaa & found that 6% to 12% of the gas produced near (by hydrofracturing) escaped to the atmosphere raising methane concentrations in air to shockingly high levels. noaa scientists were shocked to find levels of ozone pollution, as bad as the worst urban air quality, in the middle of desolate western colorado in the winter of 2011. since that discovery they have been trying to understand why the air quality was so bad in a region that had never reported air quality problems a perfect winter day in 2012 noaa and scientists sent up a sampling plane to determine the methane levels and the quantity of methane released from oil and gas production activities in the basin in utah. the scientists found far more methane than anyone had anticipated. methane levels downwind peaked at the stunningly high level of 2080 parts per billion. when the winds settled down on february 3, a pilot flew a mooney aircraft, carrying sophisticated instruments for measuring methane and other atmospheric gases, back and forth in the basin. the aircraft measurements let scientists calculate the total amount of methane added to the air mass as it transited the basin. combining those data with precise measurements of wind speed, made by noaa colleagues using a laser, scientists could calculate the methane emission for the whole basin. the team determined that methane emissions from the oil and natural gas fields in county totaled about (more than lbs) an hour on the day of the flight. that emission rate is about 6 to 12 percent of the average hourly natural gas production in county during the month of february. - see more at: http://cires.colorado.edu/... oil and gas industry figures for methane release are much lower. however, when wells are developed and produced by hydraulic fracturing, a large amount of gas is released in the process. a basin where is ongoing may be releasing extremely high amounts of gas to the atmosphere. ozone pollution in this desolate part of utah is already about twice the federal limit of 75 parts per billion on a bad day. the oil and gas industry's plans to add more wells to the wells producing today may run into regulatory compliance problems with air quality standards. this winter, with the university of utah also helping out, scientific swat teams have already gone out again as part of a more limited study of the basin to watch the pollution chemistry in action. ozone exceeding the standards rose to around 130 parts per billion, or not quite double standard of 75 ppb, said brock lebaron, deputy director of the utah division of air quality and leader of the study team. federal regulators have told utah gov. gary herbert that and counties are dangerously close to being declared out of compliance with federal clean air act limits on ozone. meanwhile, the oil and gas boom continues, with another wells potentially being added to already in operation in the basin. "most days we measured concentrations far greater than what we reported in the paper," sweeney said. the new study was not designed to determine points of leakage. there are plenty of potential leak sources, such as wells, processing plants, compressors and pipelines. the federal environmental protection agency has estimated that, on average nationally, just percent to percent of natural gas production escapes. federal officials encourage use of natural gas because burning it emits less carbon dioxide the leading greenhouse gas linked to climate change than oil or coal. methane, the main component of natural gas, packs a greenhouse punch 25 times greater than carbon dioxide. that means leakage rates exceeding percent offset natural gas’ advantage in the short term, sweeney said. assertions that natural gas from has a lower greenhouse gas impact than conventional sweet crude are just not true. atmospheric scientists will continue to investigate the complexities of release of natural gasses from gas wells developed by hydraulic fracturing, but it is now clear that industry estimates of gas emissions are far below realistic values. the is also using gas emissions values that are far below the levels measured by the noaa research team. natural gas has been advertised as the bridge to a green future of renewable power and a stable climate., on the other hand, uses enormous amounts of precious fresh water and releases massive amounts of the powerful greenhouse gas methane to the atmosphere. the and the president have good intentions when they encourage increased gas production, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. the massive methane emissions discovered by this study are the road to climate hell.	ˈθaʊzənz əv gæs wɛlz hæv bɪn drɪld ɪn ˈjutɑz ˈbeɪsən. ən ˌɪnˌvɛstəˈgeɪʃən baɪ ˈɛˈnoʊˈeɪˈeɪ faʊnd ðət 6 tɪ 12 əv ðə gæs prəˈdust nɪr (baɪ hydrofracturing) ɪˈskeɪpt tɪ ðə ˈætməsˌfɪr ˈreɪzɪŋ ˈmɛˌθeɪn ˌkɑnsənˈtreɪʃənz ɪn ɛr tɪ ˈʃɑkɪŋli haɪ ˈlɛvəlz. ˈɛˈnoʊˈeɪˈeɪ ˈsaɪəntɪsts wər ʃɑkt tɪ faɪnd ˈlɛvəlz əv ˈoʊˌzoʊn pəˈluʃən, ɛz bæd ɛz ðə wərst ˈərbən ɛr kˈwɑləti, ɪn ðə ˈmɪdəl əv ˈdɛzələt ˈwɛstərn ˌkɑlərˈɑdoʊ ɪn ðə ˈwɪntər əv 2011 sɪns ðət ˌdɪˈskəvri ðeɪ hæv bɪn traɪɪŋ tɪ ˌəndərˈstænd waɪ ðə ɛr kˈwɑləti wɑz soʊ bæd ɪn ə ˈriʤən ðət hæd ˈnɛvər ˌriˈpɔrtəd ɛr kˈwɑləti ˈprɑbləmz ə ˈpərˌfɪkt ˈwɪntər deɪ ɪn 2012 ˈɛˈnoʊˈeɪˈeɪ ənd ˈsaɪəntɪsts sɛnt əp ə ˈsæmplɪŋ pleɪn tɪ dɪˈtərmən ðə ˈmɛˌθeɪn ˈlɛvəlz ənd ðə kˈwɑntəti əv ˈmɛˌθeɪn riˈlist frəm ɔɪl ənd gæs pərˈdəkʃən ækˈtɪvɪtiz ɪn ðə ˈbeɪsən ɪn ˈjuˌtɔ. ðə ˈsaɪəntɪsts faʊnd fɑr mɔr ˈmɛˌθeɪn ðən ˈɛniˌwən hæd ænˈtɪsəˌpeɪtɪd. ˈmɛˌθeɪn ˈlɛvəlz daʊnˈwɪnd pikt æt ðə ˈstənɪŋli haɪ ˈlɛvəl əv 2080 pɑrts pər ˈbɪljən. wɪn ðə wɪndz ˈsɛtəld daʊn ɔn ˈfɛbruˌɛri 3 ə ˈpaɪlət flu ə ˈmuni ˈɛrˌkræft, ˈkɛriɪŋ səˈfɪstɪˌkeɪtəd ˈɪnstrəmənts fər ˈmɛʒərɪŋ ˈmɛˌθeɪn ənd ˈəðər ˌætməsˈfɛrɪk ˈgæsɪz, bæk ənd fɔrθ ɪn ðə ˈbeɪsən. ðə ˈɛrˌkræft ˈmɛʒərmənts lɛt ˈsaɪəntɪsts ˈkælkjəˌleɪt ðə ˈtoʊtəl əˈmaʊnt əv ˈmɛˌθeɪn ˈædɪd tɪ ðə ɛr mæs ɛz ɪt ˈtrænzɪtɪd ðə ˈbeɪsən. kəmˈbaɪnɪŋ ðoʊz ˈdætə wɪθ prɪˈsaɪs ˈmɛʒərmənts əv wɪnd spid, meɪd baɪ ˈɛˈnoʊˈeɪˈeɪ ˈkɑligz ˈjuzɪŋ ə ˈleɪzər, ˈsaɪəntɪsts kʊd ˈkælkjəˌleɪt ðə ˈmɛˌθeɪn ɪˈmɪʃən fər ðə hoʊl ˈbeɪsən. ðə tim dɪˈtərmənd ðət ˈmɛˌθeɪn ɪˈmɪʃənz frəm ðə ɔɪl ənd ˈnæʧərəl gæs fildz ɪn ˈkaʊnti ˈtoʊtəld əˈbaʊt (mɔr ðən paʊndz) ən aʊər ɔn ðə deɪ əv ðə flaɪt. ðət ɪˈmɪʃən reɪt ɪz əˈbaʊt 6 tɪ 12 pərˈsɛnt əv ðə ˈævərɪʤ ˈaʊrli ˈnæʧərəl gæs pərˈdəkʃən ɪn ˈkaʊnti ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə mənθ əv ˈfɛbruˌɛri. si mɔr æt: http://cires.colorado.edu/... ɔɪl ənd gæs ˈɪndəstri ˈfɪgjərz fər ˈmɛˌθeɪn riˈlis ər məʧ loʊər. ˌhaʊˈɛvər, wɪn wɛlz ər dɪˈvɛləpt ənd prəˈdust baɪ haɪˈdrɔlɪk ˈfrækʧərɪŋ, ə lɑrʤ əˈmaʊnt əv gæs ɪz riˈlist ɪn ðə ˈprɔˌsɛs. ə ˈbeɪsən wɛr ɪz ˈɔnˌgoʊɪŋ meɪ bi riˈlisɪŋ ɪkˈstrimli haɪ əˈmaʊnts əv gæs tɪ ðə ˈætməsˌfɪr. ˈoʊˌzoʊn pəˈluʃən ɪn ðɪs ˈdɛzələt pɑrt əv ˈjuˌtɔ ɪz ɔˈrɛdi əˈbaʊt twaɪs ðə ˈfɛdərəl ˈlɪmət əv 75 pɑrts pər ˈbɪljən ɔn ə bæd deɪ. ðə ɔɪl ənd gæs ˈɪndəstriz plænz tɪ æd mɔr wɛlz tɪ ðə wɛlz prəˈdusɪŋ təˈdeɪ meɪ rən ˈɪntu ˈrɛgjələˌtɔri kəmˈplaɪəns ˈprɑbləmz wɪθ ɛr kˈwɑləti ˈstændərdz. ðɪs ˈwɪntər, wɪθ ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti əv ˈjuˌtɔ ˈɔlsoʊ ˈhɛlpɪŋ aʊt, ˌsaɪənˈtɪfɪk swɑt timz hæv ɔˈrɛdi gɔn aʊt əˈgɛn ɛz pɑrt əv ə mɔr ˈlɪmɪtɪd ˈstədi əv ðə ˈbeɪsən tɪ wɔʧ ðə pəˈluʃən ˈkɛmɪstri ɪn ˈækʃən. ˈoʊˌzoʊn ɪkˈsidɪŋ ðə ˈstændərdz roʊz tɪ əraʊnd 130 pɑrts pər ˈbɪljən, ər nɑt kwaɪt ˈdəbəl ˈstændərd əv 75 ppb, sɛd brɑk ləˈbɛrən, ˈdɛpjəti dɪˈrɛktər əv ðə ˈjuˌtɔ dɪˈvɪʒən əv ɛr kˈwɑləti ənd ˈlidər əv ðə ˈstədi tim. ˈfɛdərəl ˈrɛgjəˌleɪtərz hæv toʊld ˈjuˌtɔ gəv. ˈgɛri ˈhərbərt ðət ənd ˈkaʊntiz ər ˈdeɪnʤərəsli kloʊz tɪ biɪŋ dɪˈklɛrd aʊt əv kəmˈplaɪəns wɪθ ˈfɛdərəl klin ɛr ækt ˈlɪmɪts ɔn ˈoʊˌzoʊn. ˈminˌwaɪl, ðə ɔɪl ənd gæs bum kənˈtɪnjuz, wɪθ əˈnəðər wɛlz pəˈtɛnʃəli biɪŋ ˈædɪd tɪ ɔˈrɛdi ɪn ˌɑpərˈeɪʃən ɪn ðə ˈbeɪsən.

on tuesday,, leading internet search engine, confirmed its interest in technology by becoming a premier member of hyperledger. prohibitions of exchanges and token offerings clearly have not dissuaded domestic development. on october 17, 2017, the company behind top search engine joined an open-source collaboration for technology known as hyperledger. according to alexa,.com is the most popular website in china and ranks fourth globally. the conglomerate has a market cap of $93.95 billion at time of press. baidu previously expressed interest in in june 2016 when it invested $60 million in circle internet financial. six months later, however, circle removed its buying and selling features and shifted focus to its mobile payments business. circle launched a-based, foreign payments service in june 2017. in china, over the last several months, regulators shut down vast of the world, banning token offerings ( ) and demanding that trading on exchanges cease. despite these decrees, the authorities appear more concerned about the economic impact of than technology itself. it’s unclear if will immediately incorporate technology, but the company has a broad product base for experimentation. readers can get a sense of the breadth from just a small sprinkling of its products, which include maps, music, patent searches, cloud storage, and autonomous cars.	ɔn ˈtuzˌdeɪ,, ˈlidɪŋ ˈɪntərˌnɛt sərʧ ˈɪnʤən, kənˈfərmd ɪts ˈɪntəˌrɛst ɪn tɛkˈnɑləʤi baɪ bɪˈkəmɪŋ ə prɛˈmɪr ˈmɛmbər əv hyperledger. ˌproʊəˈbɪʃənz əv ɪksˈʧeɪnʤɪz ənd ˈtoʊkən ˈɔfərɪŋz ˈklɪrli hæv nɑt dɪsˈweɪdɪd dəˈmɛstɪk dɪˈvɛləpmənt. ɔn ɑkˈtoʊbər 17 2017 ðə ˈkəmpəˌni bɪˈhaɪnd tɔp sərʧ ˈɪnʤən ʤɔɪnd ən ˈoʊpənˌsɔrs kəˌlæbərˈeɪʃən fər tɛkˈnɑləʤi noʊn ɛz hyperledger. əˈkɔrdɪŋ tɪ əˈlɛksə, ɪz ðə moʊst ˈpɑpjələr ˈwɛbˌsaɪt ɪn ˈʧaɪnə ənd ræŋks fɔrθ ˈgloʊbəli. ðə kənˈglɑmərət həz ə ˈmɑrkɪt kæp əv ˈbɪljən æt taɪm əv prɛs. ˈpriviəsli ɪkˈsprɛst ˈɪntəˌrɛst ɪn ɪn ʤun 2016 wɪn ɪt ˌɪnˈvɛstɪd 60 ˈmɪljən ɪn ˈsərkəl ˈɪntərˌnɛt ˌfaɪˈnænʃəl. sɪks mənθs ˈleɪtər, ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ˈsərkəl riˈmuvd ɪts baɪɪŋ ənd ˈsɛlɪŋ ˈfiʧərz ənd ˈʃɪftɪd ˈfoʊkɪs tɪ ɪts ˈmoʊbəl ˈpeɪmənts ˈbɪznɪs. ˈsərkəl lɔnʧt ə blockchain-based*, ˈfɔrən ˈpeɪmənts ˈsərvɪs ɪn ʤun 2017 ɪn ˈʧaɪnə, ˈoʊvər ðə læst ˈsɛvərəl mənθs, ˈrɛgjəˌleɪtərz ʃət daʊn væst əv ðə wərld, ˈbænɪŋ ˈtoʊkən ˈɔfərɪŋz ənd dɪˈmændɪŋ ðət ˈtreɪdɪŋ ɔn ɪksˈʧeɪnʤɪz sis. dɪˈspaɪt ðiz dɪˈkriz, ðə əˈθɔrətiz əˈpɪr mɔr kənˈsərnd əˈbaʊt ðə ˌɛkəˈnɑmɪk ˌɪmˈpækt əv ðən tɛkˈnɑləʤi ˌɪtˈsɛlf. ənˈklɪr ɪf wɪl ˌɪˈmiˌdiətli ˌɪnˈkɔrpərˌeɪt tɛkˈnɑləʤi, bət ðə ˈkəmpəˌni həz ə brɔd ˈprɑdəkt beɪs fər ɪkˌspɛrəmənˈteɪʃən. ˈridərz kən gɪt ə sɛns əv ðə brɛdθ frəm ʤɪst ə smɔl ˈsprɪŋkəlɪŋ əv ɪts ˈprɑdəkts, wɪʧ ˌɪnˈklud mæps, mˈjuzɪk, ˈpætənt ˈsərʧɪz, klaʊd ˈstɔrɪʤ, ənd ɔˈtɑnəməs kɑz.
lose the dogma been there, done that __________first of all, any time i shoot something with a, someone comments about it "not being," as if we had some kind of kosher standard going on around here. for pete's sake, is the name of a website. i know, because i made it up in 2006. and there was no burning bush or stone tablets involved at used most of the time as a pj, because they are the flashes i always had with me. and i created and around. but that is because are small, portable and the most accessible way for people to learn about people learn to shoot with a little .22-calibre rifle, and save the .50 cal until a little later when they need to pierce an engine block at 700 yards.imo, to extend the ethic into a frame of mind where (or pack and head systems) are somehow not to be considered is just silly. i am an available light photographer. meaning, if a light is available i will consider using it.speedlight,, car headlight, iphone -- i have used them all. if i think an ignited fart will improve a photo, then please pass the beans and matches. are wonderful little lighting machines. but they are not the end-all, and they are not always necessarily the best tool for any given job.there. just wanted to be clear on i am kidding about the beans. don't try that for a light source. at least, we don't to that in my family anymore. not since that emergency room visit for my uncle morris. (and i am not kidding about that, lighting large objects (or overpowering sun at a reasonable working distance) bigger flashes simply make more sense than. my "big" flashes are two old white lightning ultra. they are very similar to the current models and to today's alienbees, except my have had the crap beaten out of am currently my and deciding which direction i want to go with them in the future. but i wanted to use the opportunity to take a moment and do a for those of you who are unfamiliar with bigger flashes.today, we will walk through a typical control panel, much of which will be familiar to manual the pic for bigger in a new is the control end of a ultra 600, which is a 300 (ws). it is typical in layout to most other, and this one is about five times more powerful than your average.up top, you'll see the power level adjustment. this is exactly like dialing down your manual power level in a, except in this case you are not limited to full- (or half-, or third-) stop increments. this is a continuously variable, minus power control, and one of the reasons i love the white lightnings and alienbees.actually, power level is an area where many and intersect, too. for example, this ak. if i dial it down a stop, it is now at 150ws. down two stops is 75ws, which is getting into the neighborhood of an. so, they cross over in power output for the range of -3, -4 and -5 stops on the efficiency of the reflector in the gives a little more light output per. but you will still find an area of crossover between the two. this is convenient, as it means you can use both types of flashes in conjunction if you only have one and a few the left is the modeling light switch, which will be of less importance to you if you have grown up using. they are nice to have, but also introduce some significant limitations when you try to power the with batteries. more on that the middle you'll see buttons, jacks and lights. the red "test" button is exactly the same thing as the test button on your. you push it and the flash above the test button is a "dump" light. this is an indication that the flash is storing too much power because you charged it up and then lowered the power level without popping the flash to bleed the unneeded juice. most new dump this power automatically. (they call it "auto dump.") but if yours does not this, is a good thing to know. if that light glows, pop the flash, simple as round hole is the sync jack. what is a coveted but feature on many is standard equipment on a. which is good, as you cannot very well mount a mono on your hot shoe. pay attention to the type of connection for this jack, when shopping for a big flash. it can either lock you into proprietary connectors or free you to use standard, cheaper cords. my preference is" or" white "model" button at center right actually helps you to know your flash is ready by turning off the modeling lamp until the flash is fully recycled. some flashes can be set to emit beeps when recharged. a setting just gives you a visual white dome further right is the optical slave receptor. slaves on are typically pretty sensitive, but you cannot aim them well because they are always gonna point away from the direction that particular mono is slaves typically can be rotated to different directions from the flash head, which helps a lot. this is partially offset be the fact that the will typically be firing more powerful light, so slaves can usually see the pulse far right you have the power switch -- simple enough. just below that is a proportional model switch, which can get you an modeling light comparison with of different power that out with a circuit breaker (bottom left) and a remote control jack (far left). the latter allows the power and sync of a flash to be controlled by a wired it looks complicated, it is not. at it's heart, it is a big, manual flash with a slider power control, a sync jack and a built-in slave. you already understand all of the important that's really all you need to know to handle most just fine. they mount to your stands and light just like, as they have built-in umbrella swivels. and all of the theory and practice is the same -- you just have more power to play think the fancy control panels would be where the most important differences lie. but really, it is the lighting flexibility (and power) at the business end that mostly separates these guys from the little on that, in part two	luz ðə ˈdɑgmə bɪn ðɛr, dən ðət __________fərst əv ɔl, ˈɛni taɪm aɪ ʃut ˈsəmθɪŋ wɪθ ə, ˈsəmˌwən ˈkɑmɛnts əˈbaʊt ɪt "nɑt biɪŋ," ɛz ɪf wi hæd səm kaɪnd əv ˈkoʊʃər ˈstændərd goʊɪŋ ɔn əraʊnd hir. fər pits seɪk, ɪz ðə neɪm əv ə ˈwɛbˌsaɪt. aɪ noʊ, bɪˈkəz aɪ meɪd ɪt əp ɪn 2006 ənd ðɛr wɑz noʊ ˈbərnɪŋ bʊʃ ər stoʊn ˈtæbləts ˌɪnˈvɑlvd æt juzd moʊst əv ðə taɪm ɛz ə pj, bɪˈkəz ðeɪ ər ðə ˈflæʃɪz aɪ ˈɔlˌweɪz hæd wɪθ mi. ənd aɪ kriˈeɪtɪd ənd əraʊnd. bət ðət ɪz bɪˈkəz ər smɔl, ˈpɔrtəbəl ənd ðə moʊst ækˈsɛsəbəl weɪ fər ˈpipəl tɪ lərn əˈbaʊt ˈpipəl lərn tɪ ʃut wɪθ ə ˈlɪtəl ˈraɪfəl, ənd seɪv ðə 50 kæl ənˈtɪl ə ˈlɪtəl ˈleɪtər wɪn ðeɪ nid tɪ pɪrs ən ˈɪnʤən blɑk æt 700 yards.imo, tɪ ɪkˈstɛnd ðə ˈɛθɪk ˈɪntu ə freɪm əv maɪnd wɛr (ər pæk ənd hɛd ˈsɪstəmz) ər ˈsəmˌhaʊ nɑt tɪ bi kənˈsɪdərd ɪz ʤɪst ˈsɪli. aɪ æm ən əˈveɪləbəl laɪt fəˈtɑgrəfər. ˈminɪŋ, ɪf ə laɪt ɪz əˈveɪləbəl aɪ wɪl kənˈsɪdər ˈjuzɪŋ it.speedlight,, kɑr ˈhɛˌdlaɪt, ˈaɪˌfoʊn aɪ hæv juzd ðɛm ɔl. ɪf aɪ θɪŋk ən ˌɪgˈnaɪtɪd fɑrt wɪl ˌɪmˈpruv ə ˈfoʊˌtoʊ, ðɛn pliz pæs ðə binz ənd ˈmæʧɪz. ər ˈwəndərfəl ˈlɪtəl ˈlaɪtɪŋ məˈʃinz. bət ðeɪ ər nɑt ðə end-all, ənd ðeɪ ər nɑt ˈɔlˌweɪz ˌnɛsəˈsɛrəli ðə bɛst tul fər ˈɛni ˈgɪvɪn job.there. ʤɪst ˈwɔntɪd tɪ bi klɪr ɔn aɪ æm ˈkɪdɪŋ əˈbaʊt ðə binz. doʊnt traɪ ðət fər ə laɪt sɔrs. æt list, wi doʊnt tɪ ðət ɪn maɪ ˈfæməli ˌɛniˈmɔr. nɑt sɪns ðət ˈimərʤənsi rum ˈvɪzɪt fər maɪ ˈəŋkəl ˈmɔrɪs.

image copyright getty images image caption the great basin pine is found in the western united states mayflies live a day, humans live a century, if we're lucky, but what is the oldest living organism on the planet? for scientists, accurately proving the age of any species is a hard task. under the boughs of a sweet chestnut tree in the royal botanic gardens in kew, tony kirkham, head of the arboretum, confirms that trees are capable of outliving animals. proving this can involve some traditional detective work, as he explains: "first of all we can look at previous records, to find out if a tree was growing there at a set date. then we look at paintings and artwork, to look to see if that tree was present. and old ordnance survey maps quite clearly show ancient trees, especially important ones." a well-known way of measuring the age of a tree is by counting the rings in its trunk: one ring per year of growth. it's a process known as dendrochronology and only works for certain types of tree that have an annual growth spurt. the obvious problem is that counting rings normally involves cutting down the tree. arboriculturalists get around this by using an increment borer, a drill that allows them to take out a core, and count the rings without fatally damaging the tree. it's a delicate art, and, tony says, back in the 1960s, one scientist's drill broke off inside the pine tree he was sampling. the kit is expensive, and to help him recover the lost instrument, a forester helpfully cut down the tree. once felled, the tree could be easily aged, and was found to be 5000 years old. image copyright image caption "pando" is located in the national forest in utah "it was terrible but so much science came out of that opportunity, and since then, we've found trees that are as old, if not older," admits tony. a team of researchers in the us keeps a list, called the old list, of officially dated ancient trees. they've found a sacred fig tree in sri lanka that is at least years old. there's a patagonian cypress tree in chile which, at years old, is as old as stonehenge. a great basin pine in california's white mountains named methuselah comes in at years old. but the oldest tree on the list, an unnamed pine from the same location, has a core suggesting it is years old. this tree has lived through the rise and fall of the roman empire. it was already established when the ancient egyptians started building pyramids. we investigated the pine tree after william adams from london asked us: "what's the oldest tree or other living organism on earth?" if you've got a science question you want bbc to look into, get in touch via the form below. if you are reading this page on the bbc news app, you will need to visit the mobile version of the bbc website to submit your question. is this great basin pine the oldest single living thing on the planet? that depends on your definition of a "single tree". in national park in utah in the us lives a quaking aspen tree that most people would struggle to see as "a tree". it's a tree called "pando", from the latin meaning "i spread", and for good reason. it is so large that it is easy to mistake for a forest. however, pando, despite being the size of vatican city, has all sprung from one seed, and, over the years, has grown a single vast supporting an estimated tree trunks. accurately estimating how many years is problematic, says population geneticist karen mock from utah state university, who works on the aspen. "there have been all kinds of different estimates but the original tree is almost certainly not there," he told the bbc. clonal trees grow in all directions and regenerate themselves as they go. this means taking a core from a trunk will not give you the age of the whole tree. scientists try to get around this problem by equating size to age. it's an inaccurate process and estimated age ranges from a few thousand to years old. prof mock hopes that a new technique, looking at how many dna mutations are accumulated over time, could give them another way of assessing the age of this remarkable tree. take the quiz image copyright getty images quiz: what are the oldest living things on earth? if a tree can live to years old, why stop there? is any organism on earth immortal? no, according to expert joao pedro de from the university of liverpool. "all organisms can die, so there's no immortal species per se," he says. "you do have complex vertebrate species that appear not to age, like the galapagos tortoise or a salamander called the olm. i do say 'appear not to age'; we haven't studied any of them for 500 years. it's hard enough to get grants for five-year projects," he jokes. how long you live depends partly on your place in the world; your ecological niche. the organisms at the top of the food chain have very few predators, so are likely to live longer and to pass down that trait through generations. image copyright image caption glass sponges follow a very sedate existence in the cold waters surrounding the antarctic cold weather also plays a part: antarctic glass sponges take the title of 'oldest living animal', with an estimated life span of years. "we don't know for sure," says dr, "because, of course, nobody was there to check them years ago." the estimates are prone to error but according to dr, sponges in antarctica do grow very slowly because of the cold, which fits the model of creatures having longer life spans. however, the oldest, precisely measured organism living on earth today remains, for now, a great basin pine tree. pando the quaking aspen and antarctic glass sponges could be much older but their ages are assumed from indirect measurements and educated guesswork. tantalisingly, mock and tony kirkham agree that there's still more to hunt for; the actual oldest living organism on the planet almost certainly has not yet been found.	ˈɪmɪʤ ˈkɑpiˌraɪt ˈgɛti ˈɪmɪʤɪz ˈɪmɪʤ ˈkæpʃən ðə greɪt ˈbeɪsən paɪn ɪz faʊnd ɪn ðə ˈwɛstərn juˈnaɪtɪd steɪts lɪv ə deɪ, ˈjumənz lɪv ə ˈsɛnʧəri, ɪf wɪr ˈləki, bət wət ɪz ðə ˈoʊldəst ˈlɪvɪŋ ˈɔrgəˌnɪzəm ɔn ðə ˈplænət? fər ˈsaɪəntɪsts, ˈækjərətli ˈpruvɪŋ ðə eɪʤ əv ˈɛni ˈspiʃiz ɪz ə hɑrd tæsk. ˈəndər ðə baʊz əv ə swit ˈʧɛsˌnət tri ɪn ðə rɔɪəl bəˈtænɪk ˈgɑrdənz ɪn kju, ˈtoʊni ˈkərkhəm, hɛd əv ðə ˌɑrbərˈitəm, kənˈfərmz ðət triz ər ˈkeɪpəbəl əv ˌaʊˈtlɪvɪŋ ˈænəməlz. ˈpruvɪŋ ðɪs kən ˌɪnˈvɑlv səm trəˈdɪʃənəl dɪˈtɛktɪv wərk, ɛz hi ɪkˈspleɪnz: "fərst əv ɔl wi kən lʊk æt ˈpriviəs ˈrɛkərdz, tɪ faɪnd aʊt ɪf ə tri wɑz groʊɪŋ ðɛr æt ə sɛt deɪt. ðɛn wi lʊk æt ˈpeɪnɪŋz ənd ˈɑrtˌwərk, tɪ lʊk tɪ si ɪf ðət tri wɑz ˈprɛzənt. ənd oʊld ˈɔrdnəns ˈsərˌveɪ mæps kwaɪt ˈklɪrli ʃoʊ ˈeɪnʧənt triz, əˈspɛʃəli ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt wənz." ə ˈwɛlˈnoʊn weɪ əv ˈmɛʒərɪŋ ðə eɪʤ əv ə tri ɪz baɪ ˈkaʊntɪŋ ðə rɪŋz ɪn ɪts trəŋk: wən rɪŋ pər jɪr əv groʊθ. ɪts ə ˈprɔˌsɛs noʊn ɛz ˌdɛnˌdroʊkrəˈnɑləʤi ənd ˈoʊnli wərks fər ˈsərtən taɪps əv tri ðət hæv ən ˈænjuəl groʊθ spərt. ðə ˈɑbviəs ˈprɑbləm ɪz ðət ˈkaʊntɪŋ rɪŋz ˈnɔrməli ˌɪnˈvɑlvz ˈkətɪŋ daʊn ðə tri. gɪt əraʊnd ðɪs baɪ ˈjuzɪŋ ən ˈɪnkrəmənt ˈbɔrər, ə drɪl ðət əˈlaʊz ðɛm tɪ teɪk aʊt ə kɔr, ənd kaʊnt ðə rɪŋz wɪˈθaʊt ˈfeɪtəli ˈdæmɪʤɪŋ ðə tri. ɪts ə ˈdɛləkət ɑrt, ənd, ˈtoʊni sɪz, bæk ɪn ðə 1960s, wən ˈsaɪəntɪsts drɪl broʊk ɔf ˌɪnˈsaɪd ðə paɪn tri hi wɑz ˈsæmplɪŋ. ðə kɪt ɪz ɪkˈspɛnsɪv, ənd tɪ hɛlp ɪm rɪˈkəvər ðə lɔst ˈɪnstrəmənt, ə ˈfɔrəstər ˈhɛlpfəli kət daʊn ðə tri. wəns fɛld, ðə tri kʊd bi ˈizəli ˈeɪʤɪd, ənd wɑz faʊnd tɪ bi 5000 jɪrz oʊld. ˈɪmɪʤ ˈkɑpiˌraɪt ˈɪmɪʤ ˈkæpʃən "ˈpɑndoʊ" ɪz ˈloʊˌkeɪtəd ɪn ðə ˈnæʃənəl ˈfɔrɪst ɪn ˈjuˌtɔ "ɪt wɑz ˈtɛrəbəl bət soʊ məʧ saɪəns keɪm aʊt əv ðət ˌɑpərˈtunəti, ənd sɪns ðɛn, wiv faʊnd triz ðət ər ɛz oʊld, ɪf nɑt ˈoʊldər," ədˈmɪts ˈtoʊni. ə tim əv ˈrisərʧərz ɪn ðə ˈjuˈɛs kips ə lɪst, kɔld ðə oʊld lɪst, əv əˈfɪʃəli ˈdeɪtɪd ˈeɪnʧənt triz. ðeɪv faʊnd ə ˈseɪkrɪd fɪg tri ɪn ˈɛˈsɑˈraɪ ˈlæŋkə ðət ɪz æt list jɪrz oʊld. ðɛrz ə ˌpætəˈgoʊniən ˈsaɪprɪs tri ɪn ˈʧɪli wɪʧ, æt jɪrz oʊld, ɪz ɛz oʊld ɛz ˈstoʊnˌhɛnʤ. ə greɪt ˈbeɪsən paɪn ɪn ˌkælɪˈfɔrnjəz waɪt ˈmaʊntənz neɪmd məθˈjuzələ kəmz ɪn æt jɪrz oʊld. bət ðə ˈoʊldəst tri ɔn ðə lɪst, ən ənˈneɪmd paɪn frəm ðə seɪm loʊˈkeɪʃən, həz ə kɔr səˈʤɛstɪŋ ɪt ɪz jɪrz oʊld. ðɪs tri həz lɪvd θru ðə raɪz ənd fɔl əv ðə ˈroʊmən ˈɛmpaɪər. ɪt wɑz ɔˈrɛdi ɪˈstæblɪʃt wɪn ðə ˈeɪnʧənt ɪˈʤɪpʃənz ˈstɑrtɪd ˈbɪldɪŋ ˈpɪrəmɪdz. wi ˌɪnˈvɛstəˌgeɪtɪd ðə paɪn tri ˈæftər ˈwɪljəm ˈædəmz frəm ˈləndən æst ˈjuˈɛs: "wəts ðə ˈoʊldəst tri ər ˈəðər ˈlɪvɪŋ ˈɔrgəˌnɪzəm ɔn ərθ?" ɪf juv gɑt ə saɪəns kˈwɛʃən ju wɔnt ˌbibiˈsi tɪ lʊk ˈɪntu, gɪt ɪn təʧ ˈviə ðə fɔrm bɪˈloʊ. ɪf ju ər ˈrɛdɪŋ ðɪs peɪʤ ɔn ðə ˌbibiˈsi nuz æp, ju wɪl nid tɪ ˈvɪzɪt ðə ˈmoʊbəl ˈvərʒən əv ðə ˌbibiˈsi ˈwɛbˌsaɪt tɪ səbˈmɪt jʊr kˈwɛʃən. ɪz ðɪs greɪt ˈbeɪsən paɪn ðə ˈoʊldəst ˈsɪŋgəl ˈlɪvɪŋ θɪŋ ɔn ðə ˈplænət? ðət dɪˈpɛndz ɔn jʊr ˌdɛfəˈnɪʃən əv ə "ˈsɪŋgəl tri". ɪn ˈnæʃənəl pɑrk ɪn ˈjuˌtɔ ɪn ðə ˈjuˈɛs lɪvz ə kˈweɪkɪŋ ˈæspən tri ðət moʊst ˈpipəl wʊd ˈstrəgəl tɪ si ɛz "ə tri". ɪts ə tri kɔld "ˈpɑndoʊ", frəm ðə ˈlætən ˈminɪŋ "aɪ sprɛd", ənd fər gʊd ˈrizən. ɪt ɪz soʊ lɑrʤ ðət ɪt ɪz ˈizi tɪ mɪˈsteɪk fər ə ˈfɔrɪst. ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ˈpɑndoʊ, dɪˈspaɪt biɪŋ ðə saɪz əv ˈvætɪkən ˈsɪti, həz ɔl sprəŋ frəm wən sid, ənd, ˈoʊvər ðə jɪrz, həz groʊn ə ˈsɪŋgəl væst səˈpɔrtɪŋ ən ˈɛstəˌmeɪtɪd tri trəŋks. ˈækjərətli ˈɛstəˌmeɪtɪŋ haʊ ˈmɛni jɪrz ɪz ˌprɑbləˈmætɪk, sɪz ˌpɑpjəˈleɪʃən ʤəˈnɛtəsəst ˈkɛrən mɑk frəm ˈjuˌtɔ steɪt ˌjunəˈvərsəti, hu wərks ɔn ðə ˈæspən.

the campus community at the university of texas at austin has found a creative way to protest the fact that soon they will be allowed to carry concealed not sex school grounds. on august 24, 2016, soon after the gun law goes into effect, students and alumni will stage a campus dildo carry in which they strap "gigantic swinging dildos to our backpacks in protest of campus [gun] carry." "anybody can participate in solidarity: alum, students, people outside of texas. come one dildo, come all dildos," states the event announcement. "you're carrying a gun to class? yeah well i'm carrying a huge dildo." the "campus carry" bill, signed into law by texas governor greg abbott in june, mandates that, starting in august 2016, public universities will not be allowed to ban guns on campus. in contrast, "obscene materials" are banned on school grounds, according to rules, which cite the texas penal code. according to event organizers, this means "you would receive a citation for taking a dildo to class before you would get in trouble for taking a gun to class." scroll to continue with content help keep common dreams alive our progressive news model only survives if those informed and inspired by this work support our efforts "the state of texas has decided that it is not at all obnoxious to allow deadly concealed weapons in classrooms, however it does have strict rules about free sexual expression, to protect your innocence," the announcement continues. this is in a state where, until seven years ago, the sale of sex toys was banned. the protest appears to have struck a nerve. since friday, over people have responded in the affirmative to the facebook event announcement, and the protest has garnered international headlines. this attention can only grow, given that the direct action is nearly a year away. ut alumna jessica jin told the houston chronicle on sunday that she decided to organize the event because she "couldn't believe that people could still sit there and defend their own personal gun ownership while watching families mourn the loss of their children... when i discovered that it is indeed against policy to wave dildos around campus, i just couldn't help myself."	ðə ˈkæmpəs kəmˈjunɪti æt ðə ˌjunəˈvərsəti əv ˈtɛksəs æt ˈɔstən həz faʊnd ə kriˈeɪtɪv weɪ tɪ ˈproʊˌtɛst ðə fækt ðət sun ðeɪ wɪl bi əˈlaʊd tɪ ˈkɛri kənˈsild nɑt sɛks skul graʊnz. ɔn ˈɔgəst 24 2016 sun ˈæftər ðə gən lɔ goʊz ˈɪntu ˈifɛkt, ˈstudənts ənd əˈləmˌnaɪ wɪl steɪʤ ə ˈkæmpəs ˈdɪlˌdoʊ ˈkɛri ɪn wɪʧ ðeɪ stræp "ʤaɪˈgænɪk sˈwɪŋɪŋ ˈdɪlˌdoʊz tɪ ɑr ˈbækˌpæks ɪn ˈproʊˌtɛst əv ˈkæmpəs [gən] ˈkɛri."

dear friends, present and future, near and far, i find myself in a position to ask for your support. on august 1st, i hope to begin production on my third feature film, i used be darker. it’s a project very proud of, my first screenplay, featuring more awesome baltimore locations, an amazing cast, and many of the same creative talent responsible for my first two features, hamilton (2006) and putty hill (2011). once again, this production will be shot 100% in maryland by my collaborator jeremy saulnier. i'm pleased to be working with steve holmgren (uniondocs) and eric (the wire), and welcoming producers amy dotson (sweethearts of the prison rodeo) and ryan zacarias (nomadic independence pictures) to the team. here’s the synopsis: when, a northern irish runaway, finds herself pregnant in ocean city, md, she seeks refuge with american relatives in baltimore. but aunt kim and her husband, bill, have problems of their own: trying to handle the end of their marriage gracefully for the sake of their daughter abby, just home from her first year of college. what follows is a story of family revelations, people finding each other and letting each other go, looking for love where found it before and, when that work, figuring out where they might find it next. my co-writer, amy belk, and i wanted to tell an honest story about divorce, each of us having gone through it ourselves. we wanted to honor our experience, what we learned about how complex and full of life even the dying of a marriage is, how it is a beginning as much as it is an ending, for the couple concerned, and also for the people whose lives they touch. it was equally important that the story not be narrow in scope. what really amazes us about relationships is how everything is happening all at once: the community, the family, changes when two people separate, but it does not stop, even for a second, having troubles and triumphs of its own. how to tell it right? how to account for melody and harmony, discord and resolution, improvised riffs and aching silences? music plays an important part in this film. pinned to bulletin board is a little scrap of paper asking the question: when you are uncertain about what your heart feels, do you sing songs that help you transcend the need for certainty? we wrote the parts of bill and kim as working musicians because we wanted them to embody this in an active, creative way. we tailored the roles for ned oldham and kim taylor because their music and presence do so powerfully. several drafts in, we discovered hannah gross and campbell, young actors whose relationship in the real world mirrored that of abby and in a way that got us really excited. their screen tests were explosive. their understanding of their characters was uncanny from the start, nuanced and deep. we believe that with the cast and crew assembled, i used to be be a visually and beautiful, emotionally powerful film. we hope it will inspire new ways of seeing the most difficult aspects of relating, that it will be a reflection of life on screen provoking thought, presenting possibility and providing hope. our total production costs are just over $100,000. if we can raise $40k or more with your support, coupled with from private equity investors, we can keep the cameras rolling through august and get darker in the can. we are confident that if we are on a healthy pace toward reaching our goal by month's end, we can begin shooting and ultimately reach our goal when this campaign expires, through production. i was overwhelmed with the amount of community as well as national and international support we received with our last campaign. the ask is higher in this case, as it reflects our project's needs, but we've created a variety of exciting incentives we hope you can connect with. the magic of this project is in the collaboration that will occur when all our talent is assembled in baltimore the first week of august. i sincerely hope you will join us in the effort to bring it all to life. let’s stop, matt porterfield	dɪr frɛndz, ˈprɛzənt ənd fˈjuʧər, nɪr ənd fɑr, aɪ faɪnd ˌmaɪˈsɛlf ɪn ə pəˈzɪʃən tɪ æsk fər jʊr səˈpɔrt. ɔn ˈɔgəst 1st, aɪ hoʊp tɪ bɪˈgɪn pərˈdəkʃən ɔn maɪ θərd ˈfiʧər fɪlm, aɪ juzd bi ˈdɑrkər. ə ˈprɑʤɛkt ˈvɛri praʊd əv, maɪ fərst ˈskrinˌpleɪ, ˈfiʧərɪŋ mɔr ˈɔsəm ˈbɔltəˌmɔr loʊˈkeɪʃənz, ən əˈmeɪzɪŋ kæst, ənd ˈmɛni əv ðə seɪm kriˈeɪtɪv ˈtælənt riˈspɑnsəbəl fər maɪ fərst tu ˈfiʧərz, ˈhæməltən 2006 ənd ˈpəti hɪl 2011 wəns əˈgɛn, ðɪs pərˈdəkʃən wɪl bi ʃɑt 100 ɪn ˈmɛrələnd baɪ maɪ kəˈlæbərˌeɪtər ˈʤɛrəˌmi ˈsaʊlniər. əm plizd tɪ bi ˈwərkɪŋ wɪθ stiv ˈhoʊlmgrɛn (uniondocs) ənd ˈɛrɪk (ðə waɪər), ənd ˈwɛlkəmɪŋ prəˈdusərz ˈeɪmi ˈdɑtsən (sˈwiˌthɑrts əv ðə ˈprɪzən ˈroʊdiˌoʊ) ənd raɪən zɑkɑˈriəz (noʊˈmædɪk ˌɪndɪˈpɛndəns ˈpɪkʧərz) tɪ ðə tim. ðə sɪˈnɑpsɪs: wɪn, ə ˈnɔrðərn ˈaɪrɪʃ ˈrənəˌweɪ, faɪndz hərˈsɛlf ˈprɛgnənt ɪn ˈoʊʃən ˈsɪti, md, ʃi siks ˈrɛfjuʤ wɪθ əˈmɛrɪkən ˈrɛlətɪvz ɪn ˈbɔltəˌmɔr. bət ɔnt kɪm ənd hər ˈhəzbənd, bɪl, hæv ˈprɑbləmz əv ðɛr oʊn: traɪɪŋ tɪ ˈhændəl ðə ɛnd əv ðɛr ˈmɛrɪʤ ˈgreɪsfəli fər ðə seɪk əv ðɛr ˈdɔtər ˈæbi, ʤɪst hoʊm frəm hər fərst jɪr əv ˈkɑlɪʤ. wət ˈfɑloʊz ɪz ə ˈstɔri əv ˈfæməli ˌrɛvəˈleɪʃənz, ˈpipəl ˈfaɪndɪŋ iʧ ˈəðər ənd ˈlɛtɪŋ iʧ ˈəðər goʊ, ˈlʊkɪŋ fər ləv wɛr faʊnd ɪt ˌbiˈfɔr ənd, wɪn ðət wərk, ˈfɪgjərɪŋ aʊt wɛr ðeɪ maɪt faɪnd ɪt nɛkst. maɪ co-writer, ˈeɪmi bɛlk, ənd aɪ ˈwɔntɪd tɪ tɛl ən ˈɑnəst ˈstɔri əˈbaʊt dɪˈvɔrs, iʧ əv ˈjuˈɛs ˈhævɪŋ gɔn θru ɪt ɑrˈsɛlvz. wi ˈwɔntɪd tɪ ˈɑnər ɑr ɪkˈspɪriəns, wət wi ˈlərnɪd əˈbaʊt haʊ ˈkɑmplɛks ənd fʊl əv laɪf ˈivɪn ðə daɪɪŋ əv ə ˈmɛrɪʤ ɪz, haʊ ɪt ɪz ə bɪˈgɪnɪŋ ɛz məʧ ɛz ɪt ɪz ən ˈɛndɪŋ, fər ðə ˈkəpəl kənˈsərnd, ənd ˈɔlsoʊ fər ðə ˈpipəl huz lɪvz ðeɪ təʧ. ɪt wɑz ˈikwəli ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt ðət ðə ˈstɔri nɑt bi ˈnɛroʊ ɪn skoʊp. wət ˈrɪli əˈmeɪzɪz ˈjuˈɛs əˈbaʊt riˈleɪʃənˌʃɪps ɪz haʊ ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ ɪz ˈhæpənɪŋ ɔl æt wəns: ðə kəmˈjunɪti, ðə ˈfæməli, ˈʧeɪnʤɪz wɪn tu ˈpipəl ˈsɛpərˌeɪt, bət ɪt dɪz nɑt stɑp, ˈivɪn fər ə ˈsɛkənd, ˈhævɪŋ ˈtrəbəlz ənd traɪəmfs əv ɪts oʊn. haʊ tɪ tɛl ɪt raɪt?

around 60 complaints have been made to the police in cologne after a group of men attacked revellers in the city centre in a brutal and “completely unheard of” way, wolfgang albers, chief of police in the rhineland city said at a press conference on monday afternoon. around a third of the complaints were of sexual assault, regional paper express reported. “there was a very large number of sexual assaults there - and in a massive way. women were grabbed and attacked,” said albers, adding that in one case the alleged crime fitted the legal definition of rape. “the crimes were committed by a group of people who from appearance were largely from the north african or arab world,” the police chief added. but the police have also insisted that many of the men had been known to them for some time and that they were not a group of refugees. a group of around 500 men between the ages of 15 and 35 assembled at the central train station and in the area of the cathedral before throwing firecrackers into the masses of people celebrating the arrival of the new year. this appears to have been a means of causing distraction, as during the disturbance groups of young men entered the crowd where they sexually assaulted women and revellers. police then carried out a large-scale operation to clear the area of the miscreants, involving 143 local police officers and a further 70 federal officers. but due to the darkness and the sheer scale of people, albers conceded that this operation was less than effective. on sunday police arrested five men at the central station who were accused of threatening and robbing female travellers. it is not yet clear whether these men are connected to the earlier crimes. cologne mayor henriette reker called for a crisis meeting to be held on tuesday in the wake of the attacks, reports the frankfurter allgemeine zeitung. “we let it happen that an area beyond the law develops here,” she said. accusations of cover-up as the extent of the crimes emerged on monday, the story became the central theme of twitter with and (outcry) both ranking in the top five hashtags. analysis: silence on sex crimes will make racism worse many people accused the national media of engaging in a cover-up due to the ethnic background of the criminals, with many pointing to the fact that it took days before the details of the story reached national attention. one commentator wrote sarcastically that “it is fascinating that the event in cologne on new year made it through the media censorship.” faszinierend, dass es der von in der mal über die hat!) january 4, 2016 another person that “the public broadcasters reporting the events of cologne… says it all - educational mission and all that!” #köln die sender die der ... ja alles, und so! #ard simon menz (@oberbuxe) january 4, 2016 other twitter users worried that the attacks would lead to a backlash against refugees, writing “it makes me sad that the refugees who really need protection will bear the brunt of the hatred because of cologne. we need to be able to tell the difference.” es macht mich traurig, dass die hass werden. man können.

photograph by darren images. google turns out a curiously partisan result when users type “romney can win” into the search bar. the search engine provides an set of (more than 50 million) also, at the top of the page, includes a suggestion: “did you mean: ‘romney win?” romney has maintained a tenuous position at or near the top of the republican field for months, but he has struggled to gain broad support among the base. (herman cain, the former ceo of pizza, is ahead of him in the latest cbs news poll.) is lackluster support the reason behind suggestion? tough to tell without unpacking the complicated algorithms the site uses to rank search results. but so far, romney is the only presidential candidate for whom the google glitch applies.

a former leader of the international keystone knights of the ku klux klan will serve two years in prison for burning a cross in 2009 in ozark, ala., to “scare and intimidate residents of the african-american community by threatening the use of force against them.” steven joshua, 28, the former exalted cyclops of the ozark chapter of the keystone knights, also will be on three years of “supervised release” after he gets out of prison under the sentence handed down thursday by chief u.s. district judge w. keith watkins. at the sentencing hearing, the judge said the purpose of conduct clearly was “to terrorize people in the community” and that his “message was one of intimidation and violence.” acting assistant attorney general jocelyn samuels of the justice civil rights division said “chose to burn the cross at the very entrance to an african-american neighborhood so that anyone coming or going would see the fiery cross. he intended to intimidate the residents in their own homes and neighborhood. there is no place for such conduct in our society and the department will continue to prosecute these violent acts of hate.” u.s. attorney george l. beck, jr., of the middle district of alabama, echoed those comments. “it is sad that, in this day and age, people are still filled with such hate,” beck said. “to act on such hate and burn a cross turns that hate into a crime which should not, and will not, be tolerated. prosecuting these type crimes will continue to be a priority of my office.” dinkle pleaded guilty feb. 3 to one count of conspiracy to violate housing rights, one count of criminal interference with the right to fair housing, and two counts of obstruction of justice related to false statements he gave investigators. he was arrested by fbi agents last november in mississippi, four days after his mother, pamela morris, 45, the former secretary of the same kkk chapter in ozark, was arrested. admitted lying to fbi agents about his role in the cross burning. his mother is scheduled to stand trial aug. 4 on two counts of perjury arising out of the investigation into the cross burning. court documents say and thomas windell smith, whose age provided by authorities, met at home in ozark on may 8, 2009, and decided to burn a cross in a nearby african-american neighborhood. dinkle wrapped a wooden cross with jeans and a towel before driving with smith in his truck to a nearby black community. the pair dug a hole, doused the cross with fuel and fled in truck. smith pleaded guilty last december to one count of conspiracy to violate housing rights and faces sentencing aug. 19, 2014.	ə ˈfɔrmər ˈlidər əv ðə ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl ˈkiˌstoʊn naɪts əv ðə ku kləks klæn wɪl sərv tu jɪrz ɪn ˈprɪzən fər ˈbərnɪŋ ə krɔs ɪn 2009 ɪn ˈoʊˌzɑrk, ˈælə., tɪ ənd

my grandmother died july 4th. i got to be there to say goodbye when it happened. it was probably one of the hardest things i have ever done in my life but i was glad to be with her in her final moments. i'm not going to say some nonsense about how important blood is or any of that, since everyone's situation is different, but i do think it is so important to be able to be with family, whether they are biological or those you claimed. even during the hard times when life is falling apart or you're so busy that you can't sleep or eat, taking that little bit of time to tell those you love that you you really do is something group i admin () is having our first contest in i don't know how long. the theme is fun in the sun and it is going on until the 21st. while most people think of beaches and hanging out with friends during summer, i never really did those things so i guess my idea is a bit different. my summers were spent back and forth between my grandparents or preparing for the next school-year. so for me, the image of "fun in the sun" brings back memories of being with my family at historical sites and monuments. because my thoughts are filled with sadness, i decided to make the sun not as a bright source of joy, but as a subtle source of love and use more gentle lighting. for my entry, i drew my and her granddaughter. under the cool shade of the trees, the two enjoy company, playing with magic. the time spends with her grandmother is most important to her childhood, as her relationship with her mother is non-existent. when she gets older, will look back and the sun will seem so much brighter, and the embraces of those days so much and art belong to me. there's tons of drawings of them in my gallery if anyone wants to know anyone wants it, you can find my here . my grandmother was so excited i finally got a booth at a con, so i'm going to make it the best damn booth i can possible do.edit: the for this will be available on	maɪ ˈgrændˌməðər daɪd ˌʤuˈlaɪ 4th. aɪ gɑt tɪ bi ðɛr tɪ seɪ ˌgʊdˈbaɪ wɪn ɪt ˈhæpənd. ɪt wɑz ˈprɑbəˌbli wən əv ðə ˈhɑrdəst θɪŋz aɪ hæv ˈɛvər dən ɪn maɪ laɪf bət aɪ wɑz glæd tɪ bi wɪθ hər ɪn hər ˈfaɪnəl ˈmoʊmənts. əm nɑt goʊɪŋ tɪ seɪ səm ˈnɑnsɛns əˈbaʊt haʊ ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt bləd ɪz ər ˈɛni əv ðət, sɪns ˈɛvriˌwənz ˌsɪʧuˈeɪʃən ɪz ˈdɪfərənt, bət aɪ du θɪŋk ɪt ɪz soʊ ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt tɪ bi ˈeɪbəl tɪ bi wɪθ ˈfæməli, ˈwɛðər ðeɪ ər ˌbaɪəˈlɑʤɪkəl ər ðoʊz ju kleɪmd. ˈivɪn ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə hɑrd taɪmz wɪn laɪf ɪz ˈfɑlɪŋ əˈpɑrt ər jʊr soʊ ˈbɪzi ðət ju kænt slip ər it, ˈteɪkɪŋ ðət ˈlɪtəl bɪt əv taɪm tɪ tɛl ðoʊz ju ləv ðət ju ju ˈrɪli du ɪz ˈsəmθɪŋ grup aɪ ˈædmɪn ɪz ˈhævɪŋ ɑr fərst ˈkɑntɛst ɪn aɪ doʊnt noʊ haʊ lɔŋ. ðə θim ɪz fən ɪn ðə sən ənd ɪt ɪz goʊɪŋ ɔn ənˈtɪl ðə 21st. waɪl moʊst ˈpipəl θɪŋk əv ˈbiʧɪz ənd ˈhæŋɪŋ aʊt wɪθ frɛndz ˈdʊrɪŋ ˈsəmər, aɪ ˈnɛvər ˈrɪli dɪd ðoʊz θɪŋz soʊ aɪ gɛs maɪ aɪˈdiə ɪz ə bɪt ˈdɪfərənt. maɪ ˈsəmərz wər spɛnt bæk ənd fɔrθ bɪtˈwin maɪ ˈgrændˌpɛrənts ər pərˈpɛrɪŋ fər ðə nɛkst school-year. soʊ fər mi, ðə ˈɪmɪʤ əv "fən ɪn ðə sən" brɪŋz bæk ˈmɛməriz əv biɪŋ wɪθ maɪ ˈfæməli æt hɪˈstɔrɪkəl saɪts ənd ˈmɑnjəmənts. bɪˈkəz maɪ θɔts ər fɪld wɪθ ˈsædnəs, aɪ ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd tɪ meɪk ðə sən nɑt ɛz ə braɪt sɔrs əv ʤɔɪ, bət ɛz ə ˈsətəl sɔrs əv ləv ənd juz mɔr ˈʤɛnəl ˈlaɪtɪŋ. fər maɪ ˈɛntri, aɪ dru maɪ ənd hər ˈgrænˌdɔtər. ˈəndər ðə kul ʃeɪd əv ðə triz, ðə tu ˌɛnˈʤɔɪ ˈkəmpəˌni, pleɪɪŋ wɪθ ˈmæʤɪk. ðə taɪm spɛnz wɪθ hər ˈgrændˌməðər ɪz moʊst ˌɪmˈpɔrtənt tɪ hər ˈʧaɪlˌdhʊd, ɛz hər riˈleɪʃənˌʃɪp wɪθ hər ˈməðər ɪz ˌnɑnəgˈzɪstənt. wɪn ʃi gɪts ˈoʊldər, wɪl lʊk bæk ənd ðə sən wɪl sim soʊ məʧ ˈbraɪtər, ənd ðə ɛmˈbreɪsɪz əv ðoʊz deɪz soʊ məʧ ənd ɑrt bɪˈlɔŋ tɪ mi. ðɛrz tənz əv drɔɪŋz əv ðɛm ɪn maɪ ˈgæləri ɪf ˈɛniˌwən wɔnts tɪ noʊ ˈɛniˌwən wɔnts ɪt, ju kən faɪnd maɪ hir maɪ ˈgrændˌməðər wɑz soʊ ɪkˈsaɪtɪd aɪ ˈfaɪnəli gɑt ə buθ æt ə kɑn, soʊ əm goʊɪŋ tɪ meɪk ɪt ðə bɛst dæm buθ aɪ kən ˈpɑsəbəl do.edit: ðə fər ðɪs wɪl bi əˈveɪləbəl ɔn
more than 300 people were invited to attend the national dialogue, including representatives [afp] bahrain's main shia opposition group, the islamic national accord association (al-wefaq) will abstain from parts of a "national dialogue", which authorities say aims to bring forward reforms in the restive kingdom, an opposition member has said. the kingdom held the first session of its national this week, where about 60 participants attended each of the simultaneous sessions on politics, the economy, human rights and social issues, the four themes of which the dialogue is to focus. "we will boycott the meetings of the economic and social committees but will continue to attend the meetings of the political and rights committees," khalil al-marzooq, a leading member of, told the news agency on thursday. "we believe the dialogue should discuss major political and security issues. "this dialogue will not lead to a solution... and it does not fulfill the needs to pull bahrain out of its political crisis." the former said the dialogue participants do not fairly represent society and that those participating are not being given a chance to speak during the sessions. ban ki-moon, un secretary-general, on thursday welcomed bahrain's move to begin the national dialogue, saying it can help bring about reconciliation if it is genuine and inclusive. "we welcome the opening of a national dialogue in bahrain. conducted properly, it can be a force for stability, national healing and change," ban said. 'will of the people" the national dialogue was officially launched on saturday, with more than 300 people invited to attend, including representatives. the dialogue comes after bahraini security forces carried out a crackdown on protesters who had been demonstrating for reforms in the sunni-ruled, kingdom since february 14. al-wefaq, which made a last minute decision to participate, only has five representatives at the dialogue, despite winning 18 out of 40 seats in the lower house of parliament in the last elections. marzooq told that all options were open, including pulling out of the dialogue if it fails to address "the will of the people". hundreds of people took to the streets in several shia villages across bahrain on thursday, chanting "down, down [king] hamad," witnesses said. police fired warning shots to disperse protesters in near the capital manama, the same sources told.	mɔr ðən 300 ˈpipəl wər ˌɪnˈvaɪtɪd tɪ əˈtɛnd ðə ˈnæʃənəl ˈdaɪəˌlɔg, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnətɪvz [afp] bɑˈreɪnz meɪn ˈʃiə ˌɑpəˈzɪʃən grup, ðə ˌɪzˈlɑmɪk ˈnæʃənəl əˈkɔrd əˌsoʊʃiˈeɪʃən (al-wefaq) wɪl əbˈsteɪn frəm pɑrts əv ə "ˈnæʃənəl ˈdaɪəˌlɔg", wɪʧ əˈθɔrətiz seɪ eɪmz tɪ brɪŋ ˈfɔrwərd rɪˈfɔrmz ɪn ðə ˈrɛstɪv ˈkɪŋdəm, ən ˌɑpəˈzɪʃən ˈmɛmbər həz sɛd. ðə ˈkɪŋdəm hɛld ðə fərst ˈsɛʃən əv ɪts ˈnæʃənəl ðɪs wik, wɛr əˈbaʊt 60 pɑrˈtɪsəpənts əˈtɛndəd iʧ əv ðə ˌsaɪməlˈteɪniəs ˈsɛʃənz ɔn ˈpɑləˌtɪks, ðə ɪˈkɑnəmi, ˈjumən raɪts ənd ˈsoʊʃəl ˈɪʃuz, ðə fɔr θimz əv wɪʧ ðə ˈdaɪəˌlɔg ɪz tɪ ˈfoʊkɪs.

derek father raised him on cars. as a boy, derek accompanied his dad as he bought classics such as trucks and early ford mustang loving cars for years and getting a bachelor's degree in business management from texas state university, derek decided to get an associate degree in journalism from austin community college as well. his networking put him in contact with the editor of the statesman newspaper, who hired him to write freelance about automotive culture and events in austin, texas in 2013. one particular story led to him getting a certificate for learning the foundations of road watching tv with his parents one fateful evening, he saw a commercial that changed his life. in it, jeep touted the wrangler as the texas auto writers association's "suv of texas." derek knew he had to join the organization if he was going to advance as an automotive writer. he joined the texas auto writers association (tawa) in 2014 and was fortunate to meet several nice people who connected him to the representatives of several automakers and the people who could give him access to press vehicles (the first one he ever got the keys to was a lexus 570). he's now a regular at two main events: the texas auto roundup in the spring and the texas truck rodeo in the the past several years, derek has learned how to drive in various suvs (he even camped out for two nights in a land rover), and driven around various tracks in hot hatches, muscle cars, and exotics. several of his pieces, including his article about the 2015 ford being crowned 2014 "truck of texas" and his review of the alfa romeo spider, have won awards in annual excellence in craft competition. last year, his profile of wagonmaster, a business that restores jeep wagoneers, won prizes in signature writing contest and its pickup- and texas truck addition to writing for a variety of internet brands sites, including and , derek also contributes to other outlets. he started there will be cars on and facebook to get even more automotive content out to fellow can be contacted at [email protected]	ˈdɛrɪk ˈfɑðər reɪzd ɪm ɔn kɑz. ɛz ə bɔɪ, ˈdɛrɪk əˈkəmpənid hɪz dæd ɛz hi bɔt ˈklæsɪks səʧ ɛz trəks ənd ˈərli fɔrd ˈməˌstæŋ ˈləvɪŋ kɑz fər jɪrz ənd ˈgɪtɪŋ ə ˈbæʧələrz dɪˈgri ɪn ˈbɪznɪs ˈmænɪʤmənt frəm ˈtɛksəs steɪt ˌjunəˈvərsəti, ˈdɛrɪk ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd tɪ gɪt ən əˈsoʊʃiˌeɪt dɪˈgri ɪn ˈʤərnəˌlɪzəm frəm ˈɔstən kəmˈjunɪti ˈkɑlɪʤ ɛz wɛl. hɪz ˈnɛtˌwərkɪŋ pʊt ɪm ɪn ˈkɑnˌtækt wɪθ ðə ˈɛdɪtər əv ðə ˈsteɪtsmən ˈnuzˌpeɪpər, hu haɪərd ɪm tɪ raɪt ˈfriˌlæns əˈbaʊt ˌɔtəˈmoʊtɪv ˈkəlʧər ənd ɪˈvɛnts ɪn ˈɔstən, ˈtɛksəs ɪn 2013 wən ˌpɑˈtɪkjələr ˈstɔri lɛd tɪ ɪm ˈgɪtɪŋ ə sərˈtɪfɪkət fər ˈlərnɪŋ ðə faʊnˈdeɪʃənz əv roʊd ˈwɑʧɪŋ ˌtɛləˈvɪʒən wɪθ hɪz ˈpɛrənts wən ˈfeɪtfəl ˈivnɪŋ, hi sɔ ə kəˈmərʃəl ðət ʧeɪnʤd hɪz laɪf. ɪn ɪt, ʤip ˈtaʊtɪd ðə ˈræŋgələr ɛz ðə ˈtɛksəs ˈɔtoʊ ˈraɪtərz əˌsoʊʃiˈeɪʃənz "ˌɛsˌjuˈvi əv ˈtɛksəs." ˈdɛrɪk nu hi hæd tɪ ʤɔɪn ðə ˌɔrgənəˈzeɪʃən ɪf hi wɑz goʊɪŋ tɪ ədˈvæns ɛz ən ˌɔtəˈmoʊtɪv ˈraɪtər. hi ʤɔɪnd ðə ˈtɛksəs ˈɔtoʊ ˈraɪtərz əˌsoʊʃiˈeɪʃən (tawa) ɪn 2014 ənd wɑz ˈfɔrʧənət tɪ mit ˈsɛvərəl nis ˈpipəl hu kəˈnɛktɪd ɪm tɪ ðə ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnətɪvz əv ˈsɛvərəl ˈɔtoʊˌmeɪkərz ənd ðə ˈpipəl hu kʊd gɪv ɪm ˈækˌsɛs tɪ prɛs ˈviɪkəlz (ðə fərst wən hi ˈɛvər gɑt ðə kiz tɪ wɑz ə ˈlɛksəs 570 hiz naʊ ə ˈrɛgjələr æt tu meɪn ɪˈvɛnts: ðə ˈtɛksəs ˈɔtoʊ ˈraʊnˌdəp ɪn ðə spərɪŋ ənd ðə ˈtɛksəs trək ˈroʊdiˌoʊ ɪn ðə ðə pæst ˈsɛvərəl jɪrz, ˈdɛrɪk həz ˈlərnɪd haʊ tɪ draɪv ɪn ˈvɛriəs ˌɛsˌjuˈviz (hi ˈivɪn kæmpt aʊt fər tu naɪts ɪn ə lænd ˈroʊvər), ənd ˈdrɪvən əraʊnd ˈvɛriəs træks ɪn hɑt ˈhæʧɪz, ˈməsəl kɑz, ənd ɛgˈzɑtɪks. ˈsɛvərəl əv hɪz ˈpisɪz, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ hɪz ˈɑrtɪkəl əˈbaʊt ðə 2015 fɔrd biɪŋ kraʊnd 2014 "trək əv ˈtɛksəs" ənd hɪz ˌrivˈju əv ðə ˈælfə ˈroʊmiˌoʊ ˈspaɪdər, hæv wən əˈwɔrdz ɪn ˈænjuəl ˈɛksələns ɪn kræft ˌkɑmpəˈtɪʃən. læst jɪr, hɪz ˈproʊˌfaɪl əv wagonmaster, ə ˈbɪznɪs ðət rɪˈstɔrz ʤip ˌwægəˈnɪrz, wən ˈpraɪzɪz ɪn ˈsɪgnəʧər ˈraɪtɪŋ ˈkɑntɛst ənd ɪts ˈpɪˌkəp- ənd ˈtɛksəs trək əˈdɪʃən tɪ ˈraɪtɪŋ fər ə vərˈaɪəti əv ˈɪntərˌnɛt brændz saɪts, ˌɪnˈkludɪŋ ənd ˈdɛrɪk ˈɔlsoʊ kənˈtrɪbjuts tɪ ˈəðər ˈaʊˌtlɛts. hi ˈstɑrtɪd ðɛr wɪl bi kɑz ɔn ənd ˈfeɪsˌbʊk tɪ gɪt ˈivɪn mɔr ˌɔtəˈmoʊtɪv ˈkɑntɛnt aʊt tɪ ˈfɛloʊ kən bi ˈkɑnˌtæktɪd æt [iˈmeɪl prəˈtɛktɪd]
four jockeys, one horse after shocking fall at updated four jockeys have been and one horse has been after a shocking fall on monday afternoon at the race club on the new south wales mid north coast. maurice logue from racing said during the first race of the afternoon, race horse boy' sustained a fracture to his leg when entering the home straight and fell to the ground. four jockeys close behind got caught up in the fall and came off their horses. "had it happened a little bit later the riders would have peeled out from behind each other so they wouldn't have been bunched, "it was just one of those unfortunate things," mr logue said. "there wasn't enough time to get around [the horse] or avoid him." jockey samantha suffered fractures to her collarbone and left leg and was taken to port base hospital for treatment. fellow jockey kirkwood was taken to the same hospital suffering from a mild concussion and injury to her right leg. two jockeys with suspected rib injuries jackson murphy and nyssa were airlifted to newcastle's john hunter hospital for treatment. mr logue said boy was as a result of his injury, while the remaining horses escaped unscathed. "it was an unfortunate accident, however there will be an investigation which will include an autopsy of boy to determine what happened and to see if there's any action that needs to be taken," he said. only hours after the incident, melbourne cup champion michelle payne was injured during a race in when she fell from her horse dutch courage. topics: community-and-society, horse-racing, sport, accidents---other,-2430 first posted	fɔr ˈʤɑkiz, wən hɔrs ˈæftər ˈʃɑkɪŋ fɔl æt ˈəpˌdeɪtɪd fɔr ˈʤɑkiz hæv bɪn ənd wən hɔrs həz bɪn ˈæftər ə ˈʃɑkɪŋ fɔl ɔn ˈmənˌdeɪ ˌæftərˈnun æt ðə reɪs kləb ɔn ðə nu saʊθ weɪlz mɪd nɔrθ koʊst. ˈmɑrɪs loʊg frəm ˈreɪsɪŋ sɛd ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə fərst reɪs əv ðə ˌæftərˈnun, reɪs hɔrs bɔɪ' səˈsteɪnd ə ˈfrækʧər tɪ hɪz lɛg wɪn ˈɛnərɪŋ ðə hoʊm streɪt ənd fɛl tɪ ðə graʊnd. fɔr ˈʤɑkiz kloʊz bɪˈhaɪnd gɑt kɔt əp ɪn ðə fɔl ənd keɪm ɔf ðɛr ˈhɔrsɪz.

los academy award winner tom hanks, 53, once again invited a group of friends to his home and forced them to play a game of world war with him, sources reported saturday. director and producer ron howard, one of the guests, confirmed that hanks made his visitors pretend they were a battalion of allied soldiers for more than six hours. advertisement “we were told to come over for a late brunch, but as soon as he answered the door in his tanker helmet, i knew be playing world war with him again,” said howard, adding that he realized he was in for the full treatment when he glimpsed martin short and bruce springsteen standing at attention in the foyer. “i suggested maybe having some coffee or a muffin first, but he stared at me and said that i was a private and should just follow orders.” according to sources, hanks barked out pretend mission objectives to his friends before issuing uniforms and m1 garand rifle replicas to springsteen and short. due to a “recent attack on supply lines,” howard was given a green sweat suit and a tennis racket meant to be held backward like a gun. “bruce, the tough guy from brooklyn who cares a lot more than he lets on and everybody calls you ‘brooklyn,’” hanks reportedly said, pacing back and forth in an authentic 1943 u.s. field jacket. “martin, the funny medic named dankowitz.” advertisement “ron, be the weakling irish kid everybody thinks is going to get us killed,” hanks added. “let’s just hope you don’t, soldier.” sources close to hanks said the no. 1 star regularly forces family, friends, and delivery people to pretend fighting world war with him. though he has been seen splashing in his pool on an inflatable while shouting about kamikaze attacks, past houseguests confirmed hanks’ favorite thing is playing western front. on saturday, springsteen, a grammy winner who has sold more than 120 million albums worldwide, acknowledged that hanks was highly critical of his performance during the world war game. advertisement “right away he starts yelling at me that standing in the middle of the atlantic ocean and going to drown,” springsteen said. “when i told him i was wearing scuba gear he went ballistic, screaming that an infantryman and i have that kind of equipment.” hanks was also seen pointing at two chairs covered by a blanket and ordering howard, springsteen, and short to “hit the barracks so you can write your gals back home and still get some shut-eye.” he then encouraged them to make snoring sounds to simulate sleep, and several minutes later through a closed hand he said was a bugle. “hey, ron, you just wandered into germany,” hanks said. “bam!

• ‘i keep going and going,’ says swiss expected to be for fifth term diego maradona calls blatter ‘a disgrace and a painful embarrassment’ sepp blatter, who is expected to be as president for a fifth term on friday, likened himself to a swiss mountain goat on sunday, famed for its stubborn endurance. blatter will face a challenge for the presidency from the jordanian prince ali bin al hussein at the congress on friday after two other contenders, michael van of the netherlands and luis of portugal, pulled out of the contest on thursday. they collectively represented those who think blatter should quit after so many years in the job but blatter told the newspaper in an interview: “i am a mountain goat that keeps going and going and going, i cannot be stopped, i just keep going.” blatter, who will be 80 next year, said in the interview that he “is a simple, devout man” and that the first thing he always does when he returns to his home town of visp, where he was born, is to visit the family grave. he said two weeks ago, he “connected” with his deceased mother, who bid him to join her. he said: “i’m doing well, it is not time yet.” blatter was first elected president in 1998 and is expected to be by an overwhelming majority of’s 209 member associations when the secret ballot takes place at hallenstadion. meanwhile beloved former striker and manager diego maradona has launched a scathing personal attack on blatter before this election. writing for the telegraph, the 1986 world cup winner said: “under sepp blatter has become a disgrace and a painful embarrassment to those of us who care about football deeply. “while i find almost no one openly supporting blatter, many think he will win a fifth term. why? the whole notion of a fifth term is an absurdity in 2015. “no one has argued that he is the best man for the job and deserves to win. “recently he pledged to follow through in addressing racism in football and promoting women in the sport. that made me laugh. my question is: ‘sepp, what were you doing in your last four terms?’ “we have a dictator for life. i call blatter ‘the man of ice’ because he lacks the inspiration and passion that are at the very heart of football. if this is the face of international football, we are in a very bad place.”	•* kip goʊɪŋ ənd going,’,’ sɪz swɪs ɪkˈspɛktɪd tɪ bi fər fɪθ tərm diˈeɪgoʊ ˌmɑrəˈdoʊˌnə kɔlz ˈblætər dɪsˈgreɪs ənd ə ˈpeɪnfəl embarrassment’’ sɛp ˈblætər, hu ɪz ɪkˈspɛktɪd tɪ bi ɛz ˈprɛzɪdənt fər ə fɪθ tərm ɔn ˈfraɪˌdeɪ, ˈlaɪkənd hɪmˈsɛlf tɪ ə swɪs ˈmaʊntən goʊt ɔn ˈsənˌdi, feɪmd fər ɪts ˈstəbərn ˈɛndərəns. ˈblætər wɪl feɪs ə ˈʧælənʤ fər ðə ˈprɛzɪdənsi frəm ðə ˌʤɔrˈdeɪniən prɪns ˈɑli bɪn æl huˈseɪn æt ðə ˈkɑŋgrəs ɔn ˈfraɪˌdeɪ ˈæftər tu ˈəðər kənˈtɛndərz, ˈmaɪkəl væn əv ðə ˈnɛðərləndz ənd luis əv ˈpɔrʧəgəl, pʊld aʊt əv ðə ˈkɑntɛst ɔn ˈθərzˌdeɪ. ðeɪ kəˈlɛktɪvli ˌrɛprɪˈzɛnɪd ðoʊz hu θɪŋk ˈblætər ʃʊd kwɪt ˈæftər soʊ ˈmɛni jɪrz ɪn ðə ʤɑb bət ˈblætər toʊld ðə ˈnuzˌpeɪpər ɪn ən ˈɪntərvˌju: æm ə ˈmaʊntən goʊt ðət kips goʊɪŋ ənd goʊɪŋ ənd goʊɪŋ, aɪ ˈkænɑt bi stɑpt, aɪ ʤɪst kip going.”.” ˈblætər, hu wɪl bi 80 nɛkst jɪr, sɛd ɪn ðə ˈɪntərvˌju ðət hi ə ˈsɪmpəl, dɪˈvaʊt man”” ənd ðət ðə fərst θɪŋ hi ˈɔlˌweɪz dɪz wɪn hi rɪˈtərnz tɪ hɪz hoʊm taʊn əv visp, wɛr hi wɑz bɔrn, ɪz tɪ ˈvɪzɪt ðə ˈfæməli greɪv. hi sɛd tu wiks əˈgoʊ, hi ““connected”” wɪθ hɪz dɪˈsist ˈməðər, hu bɪd ɪm tɪ ʤɔɪn hər. hi sɛd: duɪŋ wɛl, ɪt ɪz nɑt taɪm yet.”.” ˈblætər wɑz fərst ɪˈlɛktɪd ˈprɛzɪdənt ɪn 1998 ənd ɪz ɪkˈspɛktɪd tɪ bi baɪ ən ˌoʊvərˈwɛlmɪŋ məˈʤɔrəti əv 209 ˈmɛmbər əˌsoʊʃiˈeɪʃənz wɪn ðə ˈsikrɪt ˈbælət teɪks pleɪs æt hallenstadion. ˈminˌwaɪl bɪˈləvəd ˈfɔrmər ˈstraɪkər ənd ˈmænɪʤər diˈeɪgoʊ ˌmɑrəˈdoʊˌnə həz lɔnʧt ə ˈskeɪðɪŋ ˈpərsɪnəl əˈtæk ɔn ˈblætər ˌbiˈfɔr ðɪs ɪˈlɛkʃən. ˈraɪtɪŋ fər ðə ˈtɛləˌgræf, ðə 1986 wərld kəp ˈwɪnər sɛd: sɛp ˈblætər həz bɪˈkəm ə dɪsˈgreɪs ənd ə ˈpeɪnfəl ɪmˈbɛrəsmənt tɪ ðoʊz əv ˈjuˈɛs hu kɛr əˈbaʊt ˈfʊtˌbɔl ˈdipli. aɪ faɪnd ˈɔlˌmoʊst noʊ wən ˈoʊpənli səˈpɔrtɪŋ ˈblætər, ˈmɛni θɪŋk hi wɪl wɪn ə fɪθ tərm. waɪ? ðə hoʊl ˈnoʊʃən əv ə fɪθ tərm ɪz ən əbˈsərdəti ɪn 2015 wən həz ˈɑrgjud ðət hi ɪz ðə bɛst mæn fər ðə ʤɑb ənd dɪˈzərvz tɪ wɪn. hi plɛʤd tɪ ˈfɑloʊ θru ɪn æˈdrɛsɪŋ ˈreɪˌsɪzəm ɪn ˈfʊtˌbɔl ənd prəˈmoʊtɪŋ ˈwɪmən ɪn ðə spɔrt. ðət meɪd mi læf. maɪ kˈwɛʃən ɪz: ‘‘sepp, wət wər ju duɪŋ ɪn jʊr læst fɔr terms?’?’ hæv ə ˈdɪkteɪtər fər laɪf. aɪ kɔl ˈblætər mæn əv ice’’ bɪˈkəz hi læks ðə ˌɪnspərˈeɪʃən ənd ˈpæʃən ðət ər æt ðə ˈvɛri hɑrt əv ˈfʊtˌbɔl. ɪf ðɪs ɪz ðə feɪs əv ˌɪnərˈnæʃənɑl ˈfʊtˌbɔl, wi ər ɪn ə ˈvɛri bæd place.”.”
the pentagon lost track of more than $10 trillion dollars over the past two decades. no one, not even the department of defense, really knows what it was spent on, or where the money went. president donald released budget proposal calls to blindly increase military spending by $52 billion dollars, while the government fails to keep track of its current spending. $10,000,000,000,000 is unaccounted for since 1996: although required to by law, the has never had an audit, something every american person, every company and every other government agency is subject to. the result is an astounding $10tn in taxpayer money that has gone unaccounted for since 1996. “over the last 20 years, the pentagon has broken every promise to congress about when an audit would be completed,” the director of the audit the pentagon coalition, rafael degennaro, told the guardian. “meanwhile, congress has more than doubled the budget.” legislation in the early demanded that all government agencies had annual audits, but the pentagon has exempted itself without consequence for 20 years now, telling the government accountability office (gao) that collecting and organizing the required information for a full audit is too costly and time-consuming. in the meantime, the and office of the inspector general (ig) have published an endless stream of reports documenting financial mismanagement: $500m in aid to yemen lost here, $5.8bn in supplies lost there, $8,000 spent on helicopter gears that really cost $500. how did the pentagon manage to accumulate a missing total of $10 trillion dollars in military spending? in 2001, the day before, donald rumsfeld announced that the defense department was unable to track $2.3 trillion in transactions. the investigation into the missing money was shelved immediately the next day, the pentagon was attacked and conveniently, the accounting offices were the target of the terrorist attack. so, $2.3 trillion dollars missing, where do the trillions of other dollars that are unaccounted for come into play? thanks to a reuters investigation in 2013 by scot paltrow, we have that answer. apparently, the pentagon used $8.5 trillion of our tax money handed over by congress since has no idea what they did with the money. unknown if the $2.3 trillion rumsfeld announced is included in the reuters total of $8.5 trillion missing. audits of all federal agencies were mandated by law beginning in 1996. however, the pentagon has never complied nor have they had an audit. in almost 20 years, the pentagon has never accounted for the trillions it has spent. in part because “plugging”—fudging the standard operating procedure according to a former defense finance and accounting service employee, linda woodford. “a lot of times there were issues of numbers being inaccurate. we have the detail for a lot of it,” woodford said. then last year, the department of defense inspector general released a report. this report revealed the pentagon account for an additional $6.5 trillion dollars worth of army general fund transactions and data, according to the fiscal times. the report by the fiscal times stated: “an increasingly impatient congress has demanded that the army achieve “audit readiness” for the first time by sept. 30, 2017, so that lawmakers can get a better handle on military spending. but pentagon watchdogs think that may be mission impossible, and for good reason… the defense finance and accounting service (dfas), the behemoth agency that provides finance and accounting services for the civilian and military members, could not provide adequate documentation for $6.5 trillion worth of adjustments to army general fund transactions and data. the has the sole responsibility for paying all military and personnel, retirees and annuitants, along with pentagon contractors and vendors. the agency is also in charge of electronic government initiatives, including within the executive office of the president, the department of energy and the departing of veterans affairs.” “i think lying and cheating and stealing necessarily, but not the right thing to do,” pentagon comptroller robert hale said. “we’ve got to fix the processes, so we have to do that.” while the department of defense spent over $10 trillion dollars on war, secret black projects and advancing more destructive technology, women and children in the u.s. starved and went homeless. in 2015, million people in the united states lived in poverty. that means the poverty rate for 2015 was%. the 2015 poverty rate was percentage point higher than in 2007, the year before the 2008 recession. this is the first year in five years the number of people in poverty has decreased from the previous poverty estimates. the department of defense the only u.s. agency that needs to be audited. the federal reserve and the u.s. central banks also need to have their books opened. the fed has lost money than the in one year then all of the last two decades combined. share this article if you agree that we require more government accountability.	ðə ˈpɛnɪˌgɑn lɔst træk əv mɔr ðən 10 ˈtrɪljən ˈdɔlərz ˈoʊvər ðə pæst tu ˈdɛkeɪdz. noʊ wən, nɑt ˈivɪn ðə dɪˈpɑrtmənt əv dɪˈfɛns, ˈrɪli noʊz wət ɪt wɑz spɛnt ɔn, ər wɛr ðə ˈməni wɛnt. ˈprɛzɪdənt ˈdɑnəld riˈlist ˈbəʤɪt prəˈpoʊzəl kɔlz tɪ ˈblaɪndli ˌɪnˈkris ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri ˈspɛndɪŋ baɪ 52 ˈbɪljən ˈdɔlərz, waɪl ðə ˈgəvərnmənt feɪlz tɪ kip træk əv ɪts ˈkɑrənt ˈspɛndɪŋ. ɪz ˌənəˈkaʊntɪd fər sɪns 1996 ˌɔlˈðoʊ rikˈwaɪərd tɪ baɪ lɔ, ðə həz ˈnɛvər hæd ən ˈɔdɪt, ˈsəmθɪŋ ˈɛvəri əˈmɛrɪkən ˈpərsən, ˈɛvəri ˈkəmpəˌni ənd ˈɛvəri ˈəðər ˈgəvərnmənt ˈeɪʤənsi ɪz ˈsəbʤɪkt tɪ. ðə rɪˈzəlt ɪz ən əˈstaʊndɪŋ ɪn ˈtækˌspeɪər ˈməni ðət həz gɔn ˌənəˈkaʊntɪd fər sɪns 1996 ðə læst 20 jɪrz, ðə ˈpɛnɪˌgɑn həz ˈbroʊkən ˈɛvəri ˈprɑməs tɪ ˈkɑŋgrəs əˈbaʊt wɪn ən ˈɔdɪt wʊd bi completed,”,” ðə dɪˈrɛktər əv ðə ˈɔdɪt ðə ˈpɛnɪˌgɑn ˌkoʊəˈlɪʃən, ˌrɑfaɪˈɛl dɪʤɛˈnɑroʊ, toʊld ðə ˈgɑrdiən. ““meanwhile, ˈkɑŋgrəs həz mɔr ðən ˈdəbəld ðə budget.”.” ˌlɛʤəsˈleɪʃən ɪn ðə ˈərli dɪˈmændɪd ðət ɔl ˈgəvərnmənt ˈeɪʤənsiz hæd ˈænjuəl ˈɑdəts, bət ðə ˈpɛnɪˌgɑn həz ɪgˈzɛmptɪd ˌɪtˈsɛlf wɪˈθaʊt ˈkɑnsəkwəns fər 20 jɪrz naʊ, ˈtɛlɪŋ ðə ˈgəvərnmənt əˈkaʊntəˌbɪlɪti ˈɔfəs (gao) ðət kəˈlɛktɪŋ ənd ˈɔrgəˌnaɪzɪŋ ðə rikˈwaɪərd ˌɪnˌfɔrˈmeɪʃən fər ə fʊl ˈɔdɪt ɪz tu ˈkɔstli ənd time-consuming. ɪn ðə ˈminˌtaɪm, ðə ənd ˈɔfəs əv ðə ˌɪnˈspɛktər ˈʤɛnərəl (ig) hæv ˈpəblɪʃt ən ˈɛndləs strim əv rɪˈpɔrts ˈdɑkjəmənɪŋ ˌfaɪˈnænʃəl mɪsˈmænɪʤmənt: ɪn eɪd tɪ ˈjɛmən lɔst hir, ɪn səˈplaɪz lɔst ðɛr, spɛnt ɔn ˈhɛlɪˌkɑptər gɪrz ðət ˈrɪli kɔst 500 haʊ dɪd ðə ˈpɛnɪˌgɑn ˈmænɪʤ tɪ əˈkjumjəˌleɪt ə ˈmɪsɪŋ ˈtoʊtəl əv 10 ˈtrɪljən ˈdɔlərz ɪn ˈmɪlɪˌtɛri ˈspɛndɪŋ?

the infighting in has not affected the performance of the government in delhi, senior party leader and deputy chief minister manish said today. "it (infighting) is not happening in the government. no, not at all, it has no bearing on the performance of the government," said responding to questions about the internal rift in. the question was asked in the wake of recent controversies in the party and some leaders questioning's style of functioning and the exit of founder members and prashant from the party's public affairs committee. participating in a 'roundtable' conference of five chief ministers at the today conclave, also attacked the centre, accusing it of engaging in "dadagiri" by taking away powers of the government. " is the biggest victim of the central government's dadagiri. we are not even allowed to pass laws. government can't even transfer somebody unless the centre gives its nod," he said. the comments of the acting delhi chief minister came against the backdrop pushing the demand for full statehood of delhi and complaining of central interference in some of its decisions. delhi chief minister and national is at the moment in bangalore undergoing treatment. sisodia that while delhi development authority, under the centre, constructs flats, the state government has to face difficulties in obtaining land for constructing schools and hospitals for the dwellers of such flats. "delhi is a slave (of the centre) unconstitutionally," he said. the discussion saw a sharp divide between and chief ministers on issues like prime minister leadership, gujarat model of governance and devolution of powers and funds vis-a-vis the centre and the states.	ðə ˈɪnˌfaɪtɪŋ ɪn həz nɑt əˈfɛktɪd ðə pərˈfɔrməns əv ðə ˈgəvərnmənt ɪn ˈdɛli, ˈsinjər ˈpɑrti ˈlidər ənd ˈdɛpjəti ʧif ˈmɪnɪstər ˈmænɪʃ sɛd təˈdeɪ.
