During their first 2-3 years of study, JSP students undertake an ambitious program of seminars and related courses.
It is during this time that students complete most of the Program's pre-dissertation requirements and prepare their two fields of specialization. The schedule is designed to enable JSP students to make timely progress towards the Ph.D. Qualifying Exam (See the Qualifying Exam, for further information on the required timetable).
In the first semester of their first year, JSP students are enrolled in a semester-length orientation seminar that is collaboratively taught by 2-3 faculty members. Unlike other JSP seminars, this class is usually "closed" to all but JSP students; and it provides a setting for students to become familiar with their new peers, as well as with the doctoral program and several of its faculty. Pedagogically, the chief mission of the seminar is to introduce new students – who most often come to the program with different undergraduate trainings – to a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to some broad, basic topic in the social and philosophic study of law (such as "the rule of law" or "understanding legal change"). The topic examined and the faculty leading the orientation seminar changes year to year.
The Program additionally offers a series of semester-length "foundation" courses in the following five areas: law and economics; law and history; law and philosophy; law and political science; law and sociology.
These courses are collaboratively designed to provide foundational coverage of their respective disciplinary treatments of law and legal institutions. Students are required to complete any 3 of these courses before taking qualifying exams.
The foundation courses are scheduled so that this requirement can be satisfied within the first two years of study. By design there will be variation from year to year as to which particular seminar serves as the foundation course in a given discipline and among the faculty teaching the foundation course. The list of foundation courses being offered in any given academic year is announced in advance of the period of general course registration.
In addition to the course requirements set out in Section A (above), students are required to complete two additional seminars taught by members of the JSP faculty. Seminars "co-taught" by JSP faculty and faculty from the JD program or other campus departments count towards satisfying this requirement; as do additional JSP "foundation" courses beyond the 3-class requirement.
Most students will satisfy this requirement in the course-work undertaken in preparation of their fields of specialization. It is specified as a requirement to signal the important expectation that students are to continue to undertake course work with JSP faculty beyond the completion of the first-semester orientation seminar and the three foundation courses.
JSP students are required to complete a semester-length statistics course that covers multiple regression analysis. Students usually satisfy the requirement by taking a class regularly offered in the department during their first semester in the program. Students who have taken such a course prior to entering the program may be exempted by petition to the Graduate Adviser.
In addition to the required statistics class, students are expected to take a special JSP Research Design course which is collaboratively conceived, and which is offered at least once every two years. The course covers the design and execution of empirical research, including: formulating a research question, theory building, causal inference, measurement, research design, sampling, and basic questionnaire and interview construction. It critically examines the techniques and advantages of different types of research, including surveys, interviews, content analyses, participant observation, historical methods, and ethnography.
The statistics and methods requirements reflect both the Program's commitment to empirical research and the profound influence of quantitative methodologies on current scholarship examining the social impacts and efficacy of law in public policy. Many JSP students (and several faculty members) do not undertake this kind of research. But the general expectation is that all JSP students should be equipped to understand and critically evaluate such scholarship.
JSP students intending to teach in social science departments are advised to complete more advanced course work in statistics and quantitative methods beyond the general requirement.
JSP students are required to complete two basic law courses, as well as a class in Advanced Legal Research. First-year JSP students are pre-enrolled in one of the law classes in the first-year J.D. program (such as a torts or contracts class), and thereby fulfill one part of this requirement. In later semesters, most JSP students complete another law class in the course of their preparation of the fields of specialization.
The Advanced Legal Research class is offered each spring semester at the law school. The course introduces the basics of legal research and legal reference for a variety of print and electronic media. The class is offered for either 2 or 3 units. JSP students generally should select the 2-unit version. Given the purposes of the course, students are advised to complete this requirement during their first year in the program.

2020: A Good Year Despite the Pandemic
Austrian wind power pioneer continues success course | Production volume clearly above previous year's once more | Solid sales and output | Consequent capacity expansion | Planned capital increase with stock split
Despite the many different restrictions and challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, WEB Windenergie AG is very pleased with the year 2020 and its still excellent opportunities for the future. Setting yet another record in corporate history, the annual production of 1,302 GWh not only surpassed last year's success by 7.1 percent but once again also exceeded the "magical" threshold of 1 terawatt hour (1,000 GWh) in the production of renewable energy. As the Chair of the Board of Directors, Frank Dumeier, explained in today's online press briefing, "Our continued significant increase in production is particularly remarkable, as this year's wind volume was even a bit below the long-term average. This was only possible thanks to great efforts all levels because the restrictions caused by the pandemic did not make life any easier for our business operations. Our employees demonstrated their commitment, creativity and team spirit once again. What better foundation for our future success strategy and continuous expansion!"
Consequent capacity expansion
Aside from the highly professional operations and maintenance management at W.E.B, another key factor to our success was the consequent expansion of the company's plant portfolio in recent years. Reaching a total production capacity of 523 MW in 2020, W.E.B connected another 20 MW from newly commissioned wind and photovoltaic power plants in Austria and France to the grid. Frank Dumeier: "In the last three years, we were able to add more than 120 MW in plant capacity to our portfolio. Moreover, we already have major expansion projects in the pipeline for the next few years. We currently have eight power plant farms with a capacity of more than 150 MW either under construction or almost ready for construction. These projects, most of which should be put into operation in 2022, will add another 390 GWh to our annual production."
Expansion of growth strategy
W.E.B stays on the path towards growth and even takes it up another notch. CFO Michael Trcka: "Numerous initiatives, such as the European Union's 'Green Deal' or the project 'Next Generation EU', but also the recently raised reduction target for greenhouse gas emissions to 55 percent by 2030 or the United States' return to the Paris Agreement encourage us to invest even more commitment into the realization of the energy transition. Despite current delays due to the coronavirus crisis, we considerably expanded our project pipeline to currently 2,000 MW." Frank Dumeier adds, "Covid-19 clearly demonstrated that humankind is able to quickly adjust to and effectively confront any unforeseen challenges. This lesson reinforces our optimism with regard to what we all need to do against the climate crisis. We sincerely hope that the period of economic reconstruction after the pandemic will be defined by sustainability. After all, the climate crisis will not wait for us."
Stable figures, attractive investment
The key financial figures of W.E.B continue their stable development after 2020. Michael Trcka: "Our sales revenue increased by yet another 2 percent and, just for the second time in a row, surpassed the threshold of EUR 100 million. Our consolidated result of EUR 15.5 million remained a little shy of last year's due to weaker wind conditions in 2020. Covid-19 had hardly any effect on our figures."
The Austrian wind power pioneer's road to success is impressively reflected in the W.E.B share price, which significantly increased by 11 percent to an average EUR 905.75 in 2020. Michael Trcka: "The investors obviously appreciate the option of a 'green investment' in W.E.B. It is no accident that the number of shareholders has grown by 250 to almost 4,400 in the year 2020. We will certainly stay on the path of wide-scale citizen participation – including the capitalization measures we are planning to finance our growth investments for 2021."
Planned capital increase and stock split
At the Annual General Meeting scheduled for May 28, 2021, the W.E.B Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board will propose a resolution for a stock split as well as an increase in share capital. The W.E.B shares would be split at a ration of 1:10, resulting in a nominal value of EUR 10 per share. The emission of young shares (registered shares) against cash contributions would increase the share capital of W.E.B by up to EUR 2,884,530 from currently EUR 28,845,300 to up to EUR 31,729,830. Any further details on how to realize the capital increase would be determined by the W. E.B Board of Directors in coordination with the Supervisory Board. The issue price per share may not fall below EUR 85 using subscription rights or below EUR 95 without the use of subscription rights and may not exceed EUR 105 per share.

2013 Was a Very Successful Year for the Davidson Lands Conservancy!
2013 was a very successful year for the Davidson Lands Conservancy. As the year draws to a close, I'd like to look back at the accomplishments of the past year, and look ahead to 2014.
Your Davidson Lands Conservancy permanently protected nearly 100 acres of land in the Davidson area in 2013, making 2013 our most successful year for conservation ever.
Over 50 acres of pristine woodlands were protected on the east side of Davidson in the Runneymede community. This property features mature hardwoods, large rock outcroppings, and the main branch of the Rocky River.
We placed two new properties under permanent protection in December. A 25 acre parcel just outside of Davidson is now conserved in perpetuity thanks to the efforts of the Davidson Lands Conservancy, and the desire of the family to protect their property from development. This property features a large stand of regionally rare orchids.
Literally at the end of 2013 – at around 4 p.m. on the 31st to be exact – the Davidson Lands Conservancy took ownership of 10 acres just east of Davidson. This property was placed under conservation easement and donated to the Davidson Lands Conservancy. This parcel features fields, forest, and a small stream with a wetland area, and it is the first property that is actually owned by the Davidson Lands Conservancy.
Our efforts to introduce and educate the community about the benefits of conservation continue to grow. Our World of Wonder (WOW) program has grown to includes hundreds of families. WOW has a booth most Saturdays at the Davidson Farmers Market, and sponsors many outings including hikes and stargazing events.
The Davidson Lands Conservancy also sponsored several events in 2013 designed to get people outside and enjoying nature: several hikes and birdwatching walks, star gazing, and a camp out at Fisher Farm Park. All of these events remind people why the DLC exists: to protect the places we love.
A group of volunteers interested in tree planting organized under the 'TreesDavidson' moniker, and this group was incubated by the Davidson Lands Conservancy. TreesDavidson had 3 planting events in Davidson, and planted nearly 100 trees in the Westside Terrace and McConnell neighborhoods. I encourage you to drive through these neighborhoods this coming Spring to enjoy these beautiful trees.
Finally, our signature fundraising event, Run for Green/Green Day, was very successful, raising over $25,000, a record for this event. In its 8th year, Run for Green attracted over 800 runners, and was supported by our new title sponsor, MSC Industrial Direct of Davidson. The Green Day Sustainability Festival continued to grow, with nearly 30 exhibitors.
2014 promises to be another exciting year for the DLC as we continue to work to protect new properties and to spread the message about the benefits of conservation. We will continue to consider opportunities to promote conservation.
I thank you for your interest in the Davidson Lands Conservancy. If you're not already a member, please consider joining the DLC by clicking on the 'DONATE NOW' button. As you can see, your support benefits great causes in our community.


There's a new telematics device on the market to rival the existing Progressive Snapshot.
It comes courtesy of Esurance, the online insurance company acquired by Allstate a few years back.
Similar to Snapshot, the small device plugs into your car's onboard diagnostics (OBD-II) port, which is located under the dashboard in front of the driver's seat.
According to Esurance, the ODB-II monitors various vehicle systems and collects important engine and emissions data.
Note: DriveSense is only available for non-hybrid and non-electric cars with model years of 1996 or later, but you might be able to get a separate hybrid discount.
Put simply, when you connect DriveSense into the ODB-II port in your car, the company is able to track your driving.
This is similar to Snapshot, which uses these same factors to determine if your policy premium can be reduced.
And it's much more accurate than simply asking you how many miles you drive each year, or just relying upon your driving records.
As the data is compiled, it is sent to your personalized website where you can monitor and analyze your driving habits on the DriveSense dashboard.
From there, you can ostensibly make changes to maximize your savings, assuming it identifies any high-risk behavior (events).
Esurance is offering an automatic discount of five or 10 percent depending on the state you live in.
This discount is in return for letting them track your driving habits. Once they track your driving using the device, you'll be eligible for a discount each policy term based on your actual driving.
They claim that the safer you drive, the more you'll save, and that they won't raise your insurance rate based on program participation.
However, it is possible for your premium to change if your DriveSense discount changes.
Your ongoing discount is based on your driving habits, so it could go up or down from term to term, and if you don't drive safely, you may not earn any discount via the program.
To maximize your savings, driving less, driving more slowly and carefully, and avoiding late-night driving seem to be the biggest factors.
You can always check your current discount by logging in to the website.
At the moment, DriveSense is available in 31 states. It is notably absent in large states like California, Indiana, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington.
But it is available in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.
They plan to add more states in the future, so be sure to check the Esurance website from time to time to see if your state gets added to the list.
For the record, participation in the DriveSense program is free, but they will charge a fee if you don't return the device after opting out or canceling your policy.
If you do opt out, you'll lose the associated DriveSense discount, but your Esurance car insurance policy won't be affected otherwise.
For those wondering how these telematics-based insurance products work, it's probably best to check out the Snapshot comments for real-world feedback.
How does an insurance company differentiate between someone who regularly hard brakes to avoid moron and someone who decides to not hard brake and comes dangerously close to hitting said moron?
The true definition of a defensive driver is one who actively avoids such instances from ever taking place. That being said, it's impossible to completely avoid all the bad drivers out there so perhaps if you keep the hard braking to a minimum, you'll enjoy a discount.
Interesting concept. I think this would interesting information to view just for myself. If I can tell that I am braking too often or having fast starts, I can adjust my driving and maybe save gas. Glad Esurance has this in my state…I'll have to check into getting it.

Mount Everest explorer Ed Webster dies aged 66
Mount Everest was the adventure of a lifetime. But Ed Webster had to pay a high price for the sensational expedition. He has now died at the age of 66.
There were four of them and they had set themselves a goal that couldn't be higher: the summit of Mount Everest, at 8,850 meters the highest mountain in the world.
And that on a new route, from the Tibetan East, through the extremely dangerous Kangshung Wall - more than 3300 meters high, steep, remote, exposed.
Heavily glaciated and endangered by avalanches, notorious for the extreme changes in the weather, initially considered by many to be impossible to climb and has hardly been attempted to this day.
So here, in 1988, the American Ed Webster set out with three other mountaineers to the summit, in the purest style, in the most puristic way: without oxygen bottles, without helpers or porters, even without working radios.
The wall had only been climbed once before, in 1983, by an American team,
Bernd Steinle
Editor in the department "Germany and the World".
Follow I follow
Five years later, the four climbers actually reached the South Col at about 8,000 meters, where their route met the normal route to Mount Everest.
Canadian Paul Teare was immediately relegated due to health problems.
Webster, Briton Stephen Venables and American Robert Anderson set off for the summit.
Webster and Anderson turned back at about 8,700 meters, Webster was already hallucinating and kept losing consciousness, as he later reported.
Venables was the only one to get through, but had to bivouack outdoors on the way back, completely exhausted, at 8,600 meters.
Webster and Anderson stayed at the South Col.
"That descent became the fight of our lives."
The next morning they found the half-frozen Venables and the three of them began the perilous descent through the Kangshung Face.
"We could hardly move," Webster later recalled.
"This descent became the fight of our lives." For three and a half days they struggled through fog and cold, deep snow and extreme danger of avalanches.
Her food was long gone.
They made it, just barely.
But the price was high.
Webster, Venables and Anderson lost several toes to frostbite, and Webster, who had taken photographs while climbing the summit, also lost several fingertips.
Born in Boston and raised in the state of Massachusetts, Ed Webster had previously made a name for himself as a first-class rock climber, with first ascents and most difficult routes.
He has received several awards for his mountaineering achievements, including from the American Alpine Club after saving the life of an expedition member.
He has also won awards as a photographer, and his pictures have appeared in the Rolling Stone and the New York Times, among others.
He supported many young climbers as a mentor.
The 1988 route on Everest, Venables wrote on Facebook these days, was Webster's idea.
The American once said he was often asked whether the price wasn't too high.
"For the four of us it was the adventure of a lifetime," he wrote.
Everyone has the right to do something completely crazy once in a while.
"The trick is to get away with it.
We were lucky." Stephen Venables announced that Ed Webster died last week after suffering a heart attack at the age of 66.

ROBERT ARTHUR, JR.
November 10, 1909 - May 2, 1969
Most visitors to this page know about Robert Arthur primarily through his most widely read creation, The Three Investigators Mystery Series. However, Robert Arthur was a prolific writer and editor for almost forty years before the first Three Investigators book was published in 1964. Two of his earliest stories, Si Sosh's Visit to the Moon and The Sad Tale of Willie were published in the 1926 Hampton, Virginia yearbook during his final year of high school. Robert Arthur submitted hundreds of short stories to the many pulp magazines which flourished in the 1930's, 40's, and 50's. Many of these magazines are now quite difficult to find and they are often expensive. Thus, most of these stories are unknown to today's readers. Robert Arthur worked primarily in radio throughout the 1940's and into the early 1950's writing hundreds of scripts. In 1959, he moved to Hollywood to try his hand at writing screenplays for television programs like Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Boris Karloff's Thriller. In 1962, Robert Arthur's moved back east to Cape May, New Jersey. His association with Alfred Hitchcock helped lead to work with Random House on the various adult and juvenile Alfred Hitchcock short-story anthologies which Arthur edited or ghost-edited and finally to his creation of The Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators Mystery Series.
Working with his Random House editor, Walter Retan, Robert Arthur created and developed a series that was similar in some ways to other juvenile series books of the day like the Hardy Boys. The difference was that the quality of writing and characterization was of a generally higher caliber than that found in most series books. Readers who grew up reading an assortment of series books almost universally voice the opinion that The Three Investigators were the best of the best! Phenomenal cover and interior artwork by Harry Kane and Ed Vebell was a crucial factor to the success of this series and it also didn't hurt that the well-known and highly respected movie director Alfred Hitchcock was a character in the books. Later, with his health in decline, Robert Arthur sought out Dennis Lynds to continue the series.

The photo found at the very top of this page is Robert Arthur's senior class picture from this same yearbook.
Between 1964 and his death in 1969, Robert Arthur wrote the following ten titles in The Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators Mystery Series:

Do Morons In A Hurry Play Games On Their iPhones?
from the use-in-commerce? dept
Mon, Jun 1st 2009 2:08pm — Mike Masnick
A whole bunch of people have been sending in the story of a guy named Tim Langdell, who claims to own the trademark to the word "edge" when its used in the name of any video game, and has used that to force a popular iPhone game, called EDGE, out of the app store. As the article points out, Langdell's last game was released in 1994, which makes you wonder if the name is still being used in commerce (a requirement for a trademark claim). And, of course, there's the question of confusion. Considering how few people have heard of Langdell's company, was there really any chance that "a moron in a hurry" would confuse a fun block game with Langdell's title's like "Snoopy: The Case of the Missing Blanket." Kotaku points out that Langdell appears to spend a lot more time these days talking to people about how he owns the word "edge" in any video game than producing or selling video games...

Despite my skepticism in other stories, I will wholeheartedly agree that this fellow does not have a viable business model. I give my full sympathy to those who are working hard but can't quite figure out how to survive in the "internet age".
I have no sympathy at all for those who do not work hard but rather try to game the system in the internet age to gain an advantage without actually working. My daughter, upon hearing this story, said nothing. Just put her right hand on her forehead with thumb and forefinger in the shape of an "L". The world would be a much better place if we just laughed these jokers out of town rather than letting them try to exploit the legal system to make a buck without actually working.

I didn't think it was possible to get a trademark on any common word such as edge. That would be like someone getting a trademark on the word water.
Matt, 1 Jun 2009 @ 7:39pm
Water as a Trademark...
Funny that you'd say that. I remember waaaaaay back in the halcyon days of yore... Maybe 1992 or so... Someone did, in fact, trademark the word "Water" for use in gaming. I can't recall the company (note: it wasn't TSR, I at least remember that much), but I do remember that another company had released a supplement for their game that had the word "water" in the title. To avoid an infringement suit, they had a disclaimer on the front that indicated that they were not affiliated with the company who, apparently, owned the rights to an unproduced game entitled, "Water."
Apparently, this was SOP for this particular company.
This seems like a trick question, only morons really want the iphone to begin with. There are a metric assload of them, but still....
I know, off topic, but I have to ask, exactly how many is a metric assload??
I was curious about that too. With a little poking around on urban dictionary I found that a metric assload is much more than just an assload. A metric assload is about as much as a shitload. Now a shitload is more than an assload but less than a fuckton. A fuckton of iron has been calculated to be 8.806 * 10^21 kilograms of iron, or 1.941 * 10^22 pounds of iron. So a metric assload is something less than that.

Re: OT again
For reference: 1 metric assload=2.2 shitloads

The 2023 Campeonato Pernambucano (officially the Pernambucano da Série A1 de 2023) is the 109th edition of the state championship of Pernambuco organized by FPF. The championship began on 7 January and will end on TBD 2022. Náutico are the defending champions.

Originally four teams would be promoted from the 2022 Campeonato Pernambucano Série A2 and the 2023 Campeonato Pernambucano would be contested by 12 teams. On 13 November 2022, Central, Maguary, Petrolina and Porto advanced to the semi-finals of the 2022 Série A2 and were promoted to the 2023 Campeonato Pernambucano. However Petrolina were denounced before the Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva de Pernambuco (TJD-PE) for fielding the ineligible player Raykar in the match Maguary v Petrolina played on 8 November 2022 (Third stage, 1st round). Petrolina were deducted four points and sanctioned with a fine of R$3,000 after they were punished, on 22 November 2022, by the TJD-PE and Belo Jardim were promoted instead of Petrolina. Petrolina appealed the decision to the Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD) and, on 22 December 2022, the STJD overruled the decisions of the TJD-PE giving back the four points to Petrolina and confirming their promotion to the 2023 Série A1 instead of Belo Jardim. Taking into account the possibility of a new appeal that could delay the beginning of the 2023 Campeonato Pernambucano until February 2023, the FPF organised a meeting, on 28 December 2022, with the qualified teams and decided that 13 teams would compete in the tournament including Belo Jardim.

The champions will qualify for 2024 Copa do Brasil and 2024 Copa do Nordeste. The runners-up and the semifinalist with the best performance in the first stage will also qualify for 2024 Copa do Brasil.

Format changes
The tournament will be contested by 13 teams. The relegation stage will not be played and the bottom four teams of the first stage will be relegated to the 2023 Série A2.

Teams

Thirteen teams will be competing, eight returning from the 2022 and five promoted from the 2022 Pernambucano Série A2: Belo Jardim, Central, Maguary, Petrolina and Porto.

Schedule
The schedule of the competition will be as follows.

First stage
In the first stage, each team will play the other nine teams in a single round-robin tournament. The teams will be ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, the following criteria will be used to determine the ranking: 1. Wins; 2. Goal difference; 3. Goals scored; 4. Fewest red cards; 5. Fewest yellow cards; 6. Draw in the headquarters of the FPF.

Top two teams will advance to the semi-finals of the final stages, while teams from third to sixth places will advance to the quarter-finals. The bottom four teams will be relegated to the 2023 Série A2.

Top two teams not already qualified for 2024 Série A, Série B or Série C will qualify for 2024 Série D.

Group A

Results

Final stages
Starting from the quarter-finals, the teams will play a single-elimination tournament with the following rules:
Quarter-finals and semi-finals will be played on a single-leg basis, with the higher-seeded team hosting the leg.

Finals will be played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the higher-seeded team hosting the second leg.
 If tied on aggregate, the penalty shoot-out will be used to determine the winners.

Tickers are small agile creatures used by the locust as living smart bombs; they'll scurry straight toward COG troops with explosive tanks strapped to their backs. A few bullets will cause them to detonate, but if they get in close, melee them away before shooting at them. They won't be too much trouble for someone with decent aiming skills.
In Overrun mode, Tickers can be used to eat fortifications, eat grenades, and detonate at will. They also have a speed boost ability to quickly dodge enemy fire. These are the ideal creatures to use when destroying fortifications, no other beast compares. If a Soldier is spamming grenades with his Booshka, use this little guy to eat them before they go off.

Blues surge to ninth home victory in a row

There was a time in the not-so-distant past when the Blues got up for the big games but were prone to letdowns against lesser teams.
Those types of games aren't happening much lately, and didn't happen Monday at Enterprise Center. Playing against the worst team in the Western Conference, the Blues tied a franchise record with their ninth consecutive home victory, 4-1 over the Anaheim Ducks.
"This team has done a good job of that," coach Craig Berube said. "Learned how to do it last year, with being even-keeled and understanding that you take any game lightly you can get beat.
"You're going to get beat if you do. So they've learned that and they're doing a good job of understanding, getting themselves ready. Holding each other accountable."
Another thing the Blues are doing better is taking care of business at home.
Gone are the days when coach Mike Yeo said the home fans deserve better. Or general manager Doug Armstrong wondered out loud if the team should have players stay at hotels on game day in St. Louis to avoid distraction and get locked in for the game.
Well, this team is locked in at home, there's no doubting that.
"I thought that last year, we struggled at home at times," Berube said. "I really don't have the right answer for it. Different scenarios, different times. But I think we're more consistent for sure this year. And we're doing a better job of sticking to what works.
"At times last year, we were too cute at home. Maybe, I don't know, trying to impress the fans. Whatever it is. But I don't find we're doing that this year. We're just playing our game, the same as we do on the road."
Maybe it's the new black seats in the lower bowl this season. The place looks spiffy. And there are sellout crowds of 18,096 every night. And most of them seem pretty happy with what they're seeing on game day.
"Well, they like when you win, right?" Berube asked. "That's probably what they care about."
And the Blues are winning everywhere, but especially at home where they're 17-4-3 this season.
The last team to defeat the Blues in the friendly confines of Enterprise was the Toronto Maple Leafs on Dec. 7. Since then, the Blues have taken the measure of Vegas, Chicago, Colorado, Edmonton, Winnipeg, San Jose, Buffalo, the New York Rangers and now the Ducks at home. In those nine games, the Blues have outscored the opposition 36-15.

Just 17-24-5 this season, the Ducks actually had won their last four here, including a 4-1 on Nov. 16. Strangely, the away team had won the last seven contests in this series.
But that all ended Monday as the Blues joined their 1990-91 counterparts in winning nine straight at home. That Blues team had a fellow named Brett Hull, who scored 86 goals that season. His running mate, Adam Oates, had 90 assists.
As for the 2019-20 Blues, they are now 30-10-7 for 67 points. It marks only the third time in Blues history they have reached 30 victories in 47 games or fewer. The 2000-01 and 2013-14 Blues had 32 wins through 47 games; the 2014-15 Blues had 30 wins through 47 contests. All three of those teams finished the season with more than 100 points.
"We've been going pretty good," said Jaden Schwartz, whose 16th goal of the season gave the Blues a 3-1 lead midway through the second period Monday. "It's tough to keep track (of streaks) when you play on the road, so it's not something you really think about.
"But we're finding different ways to win — and each night different lines, different guys are chipping in, whether it's offensively or defensively. Both goalies are kicking. Doing the little things right, playing well as a team."
Besides Schwartz, the goals came from Alexander Steen (his third), Tyler Bozak (his 11th), and Ivan Barbashev (his seventh). Playing for the first time in nine days, Jake Allen stopped 20 of 21 shots to improve to 8-3-3 this season.
"It wasn't really a busy game for me but I tried to handle as much pucks as I can and get out of the net, talk, keep myself in the game," Allen said. "It felt pretty good."
Bozak's sixth goal in nine games proved to be the game-winner, breaking a 1-1 early in the second period. It was kind of a tossup game at that time, but the ice titled heavily the Blues' way after that.
Bozak's goal came on the Blues' second shot of the period. They finished the second with 22 shots on goal, a season high. Only some strong goaltending by John Gibson prevented the score from being more lopsided.
"When 'Bozy' scored there, we kind of put on the pressure and turned it up a little bit," defenseman Justin Faulk said.
Actually, they turned it up a lot. Schwartz's goal came just seven seconds into a power play. He has 10 goals and 11 assists over a 20-game stretch. Barbashev's third-period goal came after Gibson and defenseman Hampus Lindholm collided behind the Anaheim net.
"We were all over them in the 'O-zone,' made it tough on their 'D' to make clean break-out passes and get out of the zone," Faulk said. "And then when they did, our forwards are backchecking so hard and we're making it tough."
The Blues are making it tough on everyone these days — home and away. But especially home.

The Myrtle Wand
January 1, 2023 / Leave a Comment
Hello Bookish Friends
Thanks for joking me for my review of
by Margaret Porter
Gallica Press
The Myrtle Wand, a retelling and a continuation of the classic ballet Giselle, restores original story elements to transform a tale of blighted romances and betrayals into a quest for redemption and restorative love.
Princess Bathilde de Sevreau, her school friend Myrte, and the peasant girl Giselle have heard the legend of the vilis, ghostly maidens who rise from their graves by night to roam the forest, seeking revenge on faithless lovers. Each will fear being ensnared by that spectral sisterhood…
Bathilde, destined for a marriage of convenience with Albin, Duc de Rozel, leaves her ancestral château for the Sun King's sophisticated and scandalous court. As participants in royal ceremonies and entertainments, the princess and the soldier gradually recognize their deep feelings for each other, as well as mutual hopes for a happy and satisfying union. But the tragic consequences of Albin's brief masquerade as a commoner and the amorous Louis XIV's quest for a mistress divide the betrothed couple. Together and separately, they must overcome conflicting duties and unexpected dangers to determine their fate.
"An absorbing and touching tale . . . a fully realized, moving portrait of the storied court of Louis XIV." ~ Kirkus Reviews
"Lushly atmospheric . . .rich with historical detail. Porter imagines the story behind the iconic Giselle, transporting us to France during the early reign of the Sun King." ~ Leslie Carroll, author of Royal Romances

The Very BEST in Afrofuturism and Black Speculative Fiction!
BLACKTASTIC: The Black Science Fiction and Fantasy Podcast!
Blacktastic, Episode 2!
STEAMFUNK FICTION: A Darker Shade of Brown
On February 22, 2013, the long-awaited, highly anticipated, hotly debated and deeply contemplated Steamfunk anthology debuted at AnachroCon and worldwide.
The book has done exceptionally well since its release, reviews are favorable and the popularity of Steamfunk – the anthology and the movement – is growing exponentially.
Readers are asking for more Steamfunk, which is really quite shocking; not because Steamfunk fiction isn't absolutely funktastic – it is – but because, after reading nearly five-hundred pages chock full o' funky goodness, I would figure they would need to take a breather and inhale a bit of funk-free air.
Much to my surprise and glee, I was mistaken. "More Steamfunk!" is the cry. Even the august group of authors who contributed their fascinating fables of funkasticity to the anthology has demanded a second volume – Steamfunk II: Dieselfunk.
To tide you over until the final verdict on the production of a second volume is delivered, I offer you a listing of several books that are either Steamfunk, or Steampunk, with a main character of African descent.
Here goes. Enjoy!
And remember: keep it funky!
Moses: The Chronicles of Harriet Tubman (Books 1 & 2) by Balogun Ojetade
"I'm gon' drive the evil out and send it back to Hell, where it belong!" – Harriet Tubman Harriet Tubman: Freedom fighter. Psychic. Soldier. Spy. Something…more. Much more. In "MOSES: The Chronicles of Harriet Tubman (Book 1: Kings * Book 2: Judges)", the author masterfully transports you to a world of wonder…of horror…of amazing inventions, captivating locales and extraordinary people. In this novel of dark fantasy (with a touch of Steampunk), Harriet Tubman must match wits and power with the sardonic John Wilkes Booth and a team of hunters with powers beyond this world in order to save herself, her teenaged nephew, Ben and a little girl in her care – Margaret. But is anyone who, or what, they seem?
The Switch and The Switch II: Clockwork by Valjeanne Jeffers
Includes The Switch I and The Switch II! York is a city of contradictions. Women are hard-pressed for lovers, because lovemaking can be dangerous. The upper city is powered by computers, the underground by steam. And the wealthy don't work for a living, underdwellers do it for them. But certain underdwellers have a big problem with this arrangement. And so does the time keeper. Welcome to the Revolution…
The Sivad Chronicles: The Possession and A Debt to Pay by Milton J. Davis
Samoht Sivad, sorcerer and warrior, goes missing after a garrison tour. Naheem, his cousin and acting patriarch of the Sivad clan, sets out to find him. His journey puts him on the path of a man who has found a way to seek revenge from beyond his grave.
The Possession introduces the alternate world of the Sivads, a North America whose present is entirely unique from the world in which we live, a land of beauty, diversity…and magic.
In the second Sivad Chronicle adventure, brothers Samoht and Vel find themselves exiled from the Nations by their cousin Naheem for different reasons. They embark on a journey to the Motherland to seek the secrets of their clan and their mysterious power. Naheem sets out to right his cousins' wrongs while they are away and finds himself in his own adventure, one that will be as dangerous as it is enlightening.
Immortal 4: Collision of Worlds by Valjeanne Jeffers
Rules were broken. Now the price must be paid. "The New World awoke to a roaring wind, light blazed from the mirror—swallowing the planet—a churning, savage vortex. Tundra's inhabitants cried out, as their flesh bled from their bones like wet clay. The world shuddered. And was still." The Immortals broke the rules. As punishment, Karla and Joseph are transported to a steam powered realm. Tehotep is now ruler of the empire. Karla is his concubine. Vampires roam the streets. Androids enforce a demon's will. And there is no way out. Except death…
Steamfunk Issue 0 Written by Eric Doty; Illustrated by Luke McKay
A comic book for all ages, that includes a bit of Steampunk and a pinch of Dieselpunk with Western and Fantasy elements. Its biggest influences are the film, The Wizard of Oz and the television series, Firefly. The "funk" in the title serves a dual purpose, referring to the musical references throughout the story as well as the state of the world the characters exist in. The story follows the adventures of a gutsy delivery girl, Deaux, as she unravels truths that she may not be prepared for.
John Henry: The Steam Age Written and Illustrated by Dwayne Harris
John Henry, a former slave, wasn't about to let some new-fangled steam hammer replace his ability to earn an honest wage as a steel-driving man. He'd beat that machine, or die with his hammer in his hand. We all know the outcome of that legendary contest. In this alternate history, however, John doesn't die in his heroic effort, but instead slips into a coma, only to awaken to his worst nightmare. A robotic uprising has occurred, and a new age has dawned – the Steam Age! Now the only thing that can free the human race from the very machines they've created is John and his hammer. John Henry: The Steam Age is an exciting re-imagining of the story of John Henry in a steampunk setting.
Clementine by Cherie Priest
Maria Isabella Boyd's success as a Confederate spy has made her too famous for further espionage work, and now her employment options are slim. Exiled, widowed, and on the brink of poverty…she reluctantly goes to work for the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in Chicago.
Adding insult to injury, her first big assignment is commissioned by the Union Army. In short, a federally sponsored transport dirigible is being violently pursued across the Rockies and Uncle Sam isn't pleased. The Clementine is carrying a top secret load of military essentials – essentials which must be delivered to Louisville, Kentucky, without delay.
Intelligence suggests that the unrelenting pursuer is a runaway slave who's been wanted by authorities on both sides of the Mason-Dixon for fifteen years. In that time, Captain Croggon Beauregard Hainey has felonied his way back and forth across the continent, leaving a trail of broken banks, stolen war machines, and illegally distributed weaponry from sea to shining sea.
And now it's Maria's job to go get him.
He's dangerous quarry and she's a dangerous woman, but when forces conspire against them both, they take a chance and form an alliance. She joins his crew, and he uses her connections. She follows his orders. He takes her advice.
And somebody, somewhere, is going to rue the day he crossed either one of them.
There you have it, y'all! Enough funk to last you for quite some time. If you crave even more funky goodness, please, check out my fiction stories on this site.
Stay tuned! There is plenty more Steamfunk to come!

Hey all! Here I have for you some seriously gorgeous cremes from Zoya called the Cashmeres. These coloors are great for Fall and invoke a feeling of coziness. All of the pictures shown are with 2 coats, no top coat. Let's not waste anymore time!
This rich, creamy brown will leave you wanting all the chocolate in the world. It reminded me of chocolate syrup as I was applying it. It's perfect for the fall and sorta brings on that cozy feeling.
Hunter is...well, the best hunter green. What else is there to say?
Sailor is a great dark blue mimicking a late Fall evening. Can't you just feel the brisk Fall air around the corner?
Pepper is a spicy red that you need in your polish collection. I always appreciate a red that can apply in 2 coats and not be too streaky. This is perfect.
I saved the best for last! I may have found my new favorite red with Livingston. I feel like this is a crelly. It's opaque in 2 coats but you can still [barely] see the nail underneath, The formula is so smooth that, to me, it acts like a jelly. It's nice and bright and would turn any frown upside down.
These polishes are available for purchase at $8 each or $48 for the Sampler. Are you going to pick some up? Visit Zoya.com to order yours today!
Be sure to also visit Zoya on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
Press sample sent for honest review.. All opinions are my own. For more information, please see my disclosure policy.
Kat! These swatches are FLAWLESS! Amazing job!
Oh wow, the tan does make me want an iced coffee! These are all so pretty!

Q: podman: map container user to host user for shared volume permissions I am trying to set up gitea using podman. I would like to have

*

*the data volume mapped to a host directory, because it allows me to easily inspect and backup the data

*the container process executed by a specific host user

Podman is executed by the root user, mostly because of the problems I had with podman generate systemd --new and rootless containers ( see systemd User= directive not supported, why? and support User= in systemd for running rootless services).
To achieve the mapping with rootfull containers started mapping all the in-use container uids and gids to the host's gitea user. I ended up with something like
podman run --rm \
    --uidmap=0:$(id -u gitea):1 \
    --gidmap=0:$(id -g gitea):1 \
    --uidmap=1000:$(id -u gitea):1 \
    --gidmap=1000:$(id -g gitea):1 \
    --gidmap=42:$(id -g gitea):1 \
    --volume /srv/gitea/data:/var/lib/gitea \
    docker.io/gitea/gitea:1.18.0-rc1-rootless

The output that I get is
WARN[0000] Path "/etc/SUSEConnect" from "/etc/containers/mounts.conf" doesn't exist, skipping
WARN[0000] Path "/etc/zypp/credentials.d/SCCcredentials" from "/etc/containers/mounts.conf" doesn't exist, skipping
Error: OCI runtime error: runc create failed: unable to start container process: can't get final child's PID from pipe: EOF

I succesfully ran other podman containers despite the path warnings, so I think they can be ignored.
I am running podman version 3.4.7 on openSUSE Leap 15.3 .
How can I run this container, while mapping all the in-use uids and gids to a specific host user/group?

A: The root cause seems to have been trying to map multiple container uids ( and gids ) to the a single uid/gid to the host. So I was trying to map ( container to host ):

*

*UID 0 → gitea

*GID 0 → gitea

*UID 1000 → gitea

*GID 1000 → gitea

*GID 42 → gitea

Instead I am know falling back to a different mapping, where just the 1000 UID/GID pair, the one actually running the Gitea app, is mapped to the host user, and others receive a different UID range using
    --uidmap=0:10000:999 \
    --gidmap=0:10000:999 \
    --uidmap=1000:$(id -u gitea):1 \
    --gidmap=1000:$(id -g gitea):1 \

This means that we have the following mappings

*

*UIDs 0-999 → 10000-10999

*GIDs 0-999 → 10000-10999

*UID 1000 → gitea

*GID 1000 → gitea

With this change, the container starts up successfully and the permissions on the host are as expected.

The power of a fiber rests within the nature of its unitary value. The interconnectivity of fibers creates a whole, an object that comes into existence because of the unification of its parts. Memory, personhood, and identity are conflated with the materiality of our things- our fashions, our gadgets, the products we buy, the things we keep and the detritus we discard. Our sense of "being" can be discovered with a thorough examination of what we leave behind. What we value, things we remember, in the modern world, material culture is the conduit to the self. In the meticulously rendered textile and mixed media sculptures of the exhibition "With Every Fiber of My Being", artist Amber Robles-Gordon destabilizes the power of the fiber in its familiar context of object-hood, by restructuring the parameters with which the viewers come to understand it; fibers and filaments transform into representations of a deeper sense of one's personal memory and self-constituted identity.
The intentional fragmentation of an object conveys an act of disjuncture- a ripping apart, a shredding of, a tearing up- of familiarity, of stability, of normality. So, what happens when this disjuncture becomes a repetitive act of labor in self-rendering? Binaries explode. Polarization's collide. Linear understandings of histories become a painterly, disjointed pointillism. Robles-Gordon destabilizes the specificity of our "stuff"- lace adorned dresses, rackets, worn t-shirts, beaded bracelets, badminton balls, etc.- and threads together a reformed sense of self through abstracted amalgamations of material culture. In Air, Water, and Earth. Layers of Self, Robles-Gordon's mixed media sculpture reshapes disparate parts and fragments into lines of color that coalesce in a circular form. Principles of abstraction are still at play in this sculptural entanglement. Excised from objects disjoined from their past modalities, filaments function as undulating lines of color across the picture plane. Grid-like wires attempt to contain the rotund mass, creating a vivid, precarious sense of tension and fragility. It is in this moment of contained visual clutter and chaos, in which power is reassigned and the accepted meaning or constitution of object-hood is simultaneously bifurcated into its past and re-situated at the limen- a space of betweenness where agency flourishes and categories collapse.

Top 10 restaurants to eat at in Detroit Michigan 2023.
Published by admin On December 20, 2022
Detroit, Michigan is a city with a rich history and a vibrant food scene. From classic Detroit-style pizza to international cuisine, there is something for everyone to enjoy in the Motor City.
The city has long been a hub for immigrants and has been influenced by the diverse cultures that have made their home there.
One of the earliest restaurants in Detroit was the City Hotel, which was established in 1796. The hotel served as a gathering place for both locals and travelers and was known for its fine dining. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Detroit saw an influx of immigrants from Europe, including Italians, Germans, and Eastern Europeans. These immigrants brought their own culinary traditions to the city and opened restaurants and markets featuring their native cuisines.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Detroit was home to a thriving jazz scene and many of the city's restaurants and clubs featured live music. Some of these establishments, such as the Graystone Ballroom and the Celebrity Club, became iconic landmarks in the city.
Detroit's food scene continued to evolve over the years and in the 1950s and 1960s, the city became known for its classic American diner culture. Many of these diners, such as the famous Hudson's Grill, were popular gathering places for the city's residents.
In more recent years, Detroit has experienced a resurgence and the city's food scene has continued to grow and evolve. Today, the city is home to a wide variety of restaurants, ranging from classic diners and pizzerias to trendy restaurants featuring contemporary American cuisine and international flavors. Detroit's diverse food culture is a reflection of the city's rich history and its vibrant, diverse population.
Detroit, Michigan has a unique and diverse food scene that sets it apart from other cities in the United States. Here are a few ways in which restaurants in Detroit are different from those in other parts of the country:
Detroit-style pizza: Detroit is home to a style of pizza that is unique to the city. Detroit-style pizza is made in a rectangular pan with a crispy and chewy crust, topped with cheese and sauce. This style of pizza is distinct from the more common round pies found in other parts of the country.
Middle Eastern cuisine: Detroit has a large Middle Eastern population and as a result, the city is home to a number of excellent Middle Eastern restaurants. From shawarma and kebabs to falafel and hummus, these restaurants offer a taste of the region's flavors and traditions.
International flavors: Detroit's diverse population has brought a variety of international flavors to the city. From Argentinean steakhouses to Thai-inspired cuisine, the city has a wide range of international restaurants to choose from.
Comfort food: Detroit is home to a number of classic comfort food joints, including diners and soul food restaurants. These establishments serve dishes such as burgers, fried chicken, and mac and cheese, providing a taste of home-style cooking.
Here are the top 10 places to eat in Detroit:
