Patrick receives petition, listens
By Matthew Bruun TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
When Cathy J. Clark of Lunenburg began her petition seeking to oust Unitil as her community�s electricity provider, she didn�t expect she would end up delivering it in person to Gov. Deval L. Patrick.
But while that exchange did occur yesterday in the Statehouse, Ms. Clark said her campaign is far from over.
�I�m not here for a photo opportunity. I�m here to make sure things happen,� Ms. Clark said yesterday after turning over petitions signed in ink and online by some 6,000 disgruntled Unitil customers. �I�ll feel better when Unitil is no longer actually our utility provider.�
The petition drive began in the aftermath of the Dec. 11-12 ice storm, which plunged the region into darkness. Unitil, which serves Fitchburg, Lunenburg, Townsend and Ashby, has been blasted by its customers for the slow restoration of power, which left many customers in the dark for two weeks after the storm.
The utility�s rates, higher than in neighboring communities, has long been a gripe in the service territory, as well.
Unitil officials have defended their response to the storm, apologizing for the inconvenience to customers but asserting that the ice storm damage was unprecedented. They have pledged to cooperate with the state Department of Public Utilities� inquiry and are undergoing an internal review at the same time.
Ms. Clark arrived with seven other dissatisfied customers for a brief meeting with the governor and other members of the executive branch yesterday afternoon. The visitors met with Ian A. Bowles, secretary of environmental affairs and energy, and Mark Lilienthal, the governor�s director of constituent services, along with their regional legislative delegation, before Mr. Patrick arrived.
Mr. Bowles, who appoints the commissioners at the Department of Public Utilities, told the visitors that only legislative action could force the utility out of the area. The DPU, which held its first in a series of public hearings into the ice storm response earlier this week, will evaluate the utility�s performance and could issue sanctions.
�It�s obviously something that was deeply impactful and we�re concerned about it,� Mr. Lilienthal said.
�People in my city would not be satisfied with sanctions,� state Rep. Stephen L. DiNatale, D-Fitchburg, told the state officials. �They want that company gone.�
Mr. Patrick did not make any promises but quipped that he was not surprised to hear the DPU hearing in Fitchburg earlier this week was �a circus,� as Ms. Clark said.
�Up your way there�s a lot of attitude anyway,� he said.
Mr. Patrick and Lt. Gov. Timothy A. Murray toured the damage in North Central Massachusetts in the days after the storm.
The governor asked yesterday if his office�s direction of other utility crews into Unitil territory had helped recovery efforts the week after the storm.
�It wouldn�t have happened without you guys,� Mr. DiNatale replied.
Mr. Patrick chatted with the group for about 15 minutes, hearing their tales of long days without power, concerns about a perceived lack of maintenance by the utility, and complaints about the charges.
Lynn Mortis of Lunenburg told the governor she was without power for 15 days. She said she wants ratepayers to hold onto their February bills �and show Unitil who�s boss.�
Fitchburg City Councilor Annie K. DeMartino, who was greeted with a warm embrace by the governor, said she was optimistic Mr. Patrick had heard their message.
Legislators, who have been sympathetic to the customers� outrage, promised they are not going to let the situation lie.
State Sen. Jennifer L. Flanagan, D-Leominster, said she will push legislation to give more teeth to the regulatory oversight of public utilities. She warned the petitioners that no solution will happen overnight, however.
�This is going to be a process,� she said. �This is not going to be as simple as �Get rid of Unitil.� �
Mr. DiNatale said he is also supporting legislation that would make it easier for communities to form municipal utilities, giving ratepayers more options.
State Rep. Robert Hargraves, R-Groton, and state Rep. Jennifer Benson, D-Lunenburg, also said they were committed to making sure a situation such as the ice storm aftermath does not happen again.
Ms. Benson said officials from the DPU could expect another strong outpouring of emotion when the next hearing is held at 4 p.m. Tuesday at Lunenburg High School.
Ms. Clark said she will be collecting signatures until that hearing and will turn the completed petitions over to the DPU. She told Mr. Patrick he could keep the bound copy she presented him yesterday.

York 5 Year Flood Plan Update
Meeting of Decision Session - Executive Member for Environment and Climate Change, Monday, 13 January 2020 6.30 pm (Item 21.)
View the background to item 21.
This report provides an update regarding progress on the York Five Year Flood Plan since the last update, on 2 September 2019, including details of work carried out by the Environment Agency.
Decision:
Resolved: That the updated report, and the additional information provided at the session by the Environment Agency (EA) and council officers, be noted.
Reason: To confirm that the Executive Member is aware of the current position regarding progress on the 5 Year Flood Plan.
The Executive Member considered a report that provided an update regarding the progress on the York Five Year Flood Plan since the last update, on 2 September 2019, including details of the work carried out by the Environment Agency.
The Flood Risk Manager was in attendance to provide an update and he confirmed that City of York Council had been awarded funding from the Environment Agency to lead and develop a property flood resilience pathfinder project across all Local Authorities in Yorkshire. The Executive Member noted that further progress updates would be provided at future Decision Sessions.
An officer from the Environment Agency was in attendance to give a further update on activities and within individual flood cells, where it was noted that:
· The flood wall on Leeman Road, along the front of Memorial Gardens, was now complete.
· The flood wall along North Street was now complete and the flood gates were being installed.
· The installation of two new specially designed flood gates under Lendal Bridge had been delayed and would now be fitted in September 2020.
· Work was due to restart at St Peters School in the spring.
· Clifton Ings Barrier Bank planning application was approved at the September 2019 Planning Committee and work would now begin in June 2020, potentially pushing the two year timescale into a third year. An advisory group had also been setup to better engage with the community. The Executive Member informed officers that St Nicks had significant experience within this area.
· A revised planning application for Clementhorpe was being produced and should be considered at Planning Committee in March 2020. The timeframe to complete the works should not be affected by the delay. The Executive Member confirmed she was visiting Rowntree Park with the Transport Policy Manager to explore the pedestrian access.
· Properties in New Walk had nearly all been visited by a Property Flood Resilience contractor and contact was still being made with those residents who had concerns. Officers confirmed they would be working with the suppliers to ensure the correct solutions were provided to each property.
· The plans for the Foss Storage Area had been submitted to both City of York Council and Ryedale District Council.
· The flood risk at South Beck had been removed from the programme due to there being no viable option and no history of flooding.
· The properties that were at very significant risk in Naburn would be offered support and property resilience.
Council officers expanded on the information provided in Annex 2 and during these updates, and in response to questions and concerns raised by the Executive Member, it was agreed that:
· The delays to the various timescales required further investigation, to ensure the programmes of work were delivered more resiliently.
· Communication with ward councillors, friends groups and residents required more consideration to ensure the engagements were better understood.
· CYC officers, the Environment Agency and the Stainability Director from Yorkshire Water should work collaboratively when considering a tree strategy.
The Executive Member noted that officers were developing a holistic scheme to better protect access into Fordlands Road, including the properties that were theoretically at risk. Work was also taking place on the A19 to site a pumping station and further appraisal work would be undertaken to create a business case. Officers agreed to keep the Executive Member updated.
Reason: To confirm that the Executive Member was aware of the current position regarding progress on the 5 Year Flood Plan.

Q: Cannot Get cURL or file_get_contents to work in PHP I am having trouble getting either a cURL request or file_get_contents() for a https page that returns JSON. Please note that I have looked at multiple StackOverflow topics with similar problems, but none seem to address my specific issue.
BACKGROUND: I am using a MAC running OS X 10.10.3 (Yosemite). I just installed XAMPP 5.6.8 so that I can run a local web server in order to play around with php, etc.
GOAL: I would like to simply display the contents of a JSON object returned by a https GET request. For context, the page is https://api.discogs.com/releases/249504.
ACTIONS: I have read on other posts that for retrieving HTTPS pages I must make the following out-of-the-box changes in my php.ini file, which I have done:
- uncomment/turn on allow_url_fopen=On
- uncomment/turn on allow_url_include=on
- uncomment extension=php_openssl.dll
RESULTS:
Using file_get_contents()...
Code:
<?php
  $url = "https://api.discogs.com/releases/249504";
  $text = file_get_contents($url);
  var_dump($text);
?>

Result:
Warning: file_get_contents(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/phpWorkspace/firstPhp/firstPhp.php on line 5

Warning: file_get_contents(): Failed to enable crypto in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/phpWorkspace/firstPhp/firstPhp.php on line 5

Warning: file_get_contents(https://api.discogs.com/releases/249504): failed to open stream: operation failed in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/phpWorkspace/firstPhp/firstPhp.php on line 5

bool(false)
Using cURL...
Code:
    https://api.discogs.com/releases/249504";
//  Initiate curl
  $ch = curl_init();

// Will return the response, if false it print the response
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

// Set the url
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);

// Execute
  $result=curl_exec($ch);

// Closing
  curl_close($ch);

  var_dump($result);
?>

Result:
    bool(false)
Any recommendations would be extremely helpful. I've played around with different cURL calls based on other SO posts, each have either returned NULL, an error related to certificates/authentication, or like above.
UPDATE!
I added CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to my cURL code and set it to off in order to validate that I could at least communicate with the server - which helped me then identify that I needed to provide a user agent. However, when I removed the SSL_VERIFYPEER, I still had certificate issues.
As a last ditched effort I uninstalled XAMPP, and turned on the php/apache from within the Mac OS. Once configured, out-of-the-box both the the cURL and FILE_GET_CONTENTS() calls worked with the user agent using the same code as above [frustrating!].
My gut tells me that I had a bad configuration in XAMPP related to my certificates. Interestingly though I didn't see much online as this being an issue with other XAMPP users.

A: Try adding this

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,false);

The certificate is not being successfully verified. This may not correct it depending on how severe the issue is.
You should not rely on this as a fix, however it should tell you if your system can even communicate with theirs. Reference the post Frankzers posted.

Conspiracy Theory, Prepping, UFOs, the Esoteric
The Hacking Evidence Against Russia Is Extremely Weak
Thread starter GURPS
PREMO Member
1/ The DNC hackers inserted the name of the founder of Russian intelligence, in Russian, in the metadata of the hacked documents. Why would the G.R.U., Russian military intelligence do that?
2/ If the hackers were indeed part of Russian intelligence, why did they use a free Russian email account, or, in the hack of the state election systems, a Russian-owned server? Does Russian intelligence normally display such poor tradecraft?
3/ Why would Russian intelligence, for the purposes of hacking the election systems of Arizona and Illinois, book space on a Russian-owned server and then use only English, as documents furnished by Vladimir Fomenko, proprietor of Kings Servers, the company that owned the server in question, clearly indicate?
4/ Numerous reports ascribe the hacks to hacking groups known as APT 28 or "Fancy Bear" and APT 29 or "Cozy Bear." But these groups had already been accused of nefarious actions on behalf of Russian intelligence prior to the hacks under discussion. Why would the Kremlin and its intelligence agencies select well-known groups to conduct a regime-change operation on the most powerful country on earth?
5/ It has been reported in the New York Times, without attribution, that U.S. intelligence has identified specific G.R.U. officials who directed the hacking. Is this true, and if so, please provide details (Witness should be sworn)
6/ The joint statement issued by the DNI and DHS on October 7 2016 confirmed that US intelligence had no evidence of official Russian involvement in the leak of hacked documents to Wikileaks, etc, saying only that the leaks were "consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts." Has the US acquired any evidence whatsoever since that time regarding Russian involvement in the leaks?
Occam's Razor ....... simplest explanation - Insider Leaks
my war
Hmmm.... Believe the CIA or a blogger named George Washington.... Hmmm
Toxick
Near as I can tell there was no "hacking" involved.
I honestly believe that anyone using the word "hack" to describe what went on is deliberately misrepresenting the story, by trying to imply to the casual reader (read: the vast majority of the American Public) that Russian spies, infiltrated vote counting machines and either changed votes, or appended/deleted votes to turn the results to their favor.
It's disgusting.
Imagine No Democrats
Toxick said:
it was all insider leaks ..... but that would not fit the narrative that Trump is illegitimate and not fit to be President
- as well as nothing the DNC Operatives did to sink Sanders and promote Clinton was unethical
- or the Conclusion with the State Run Media
In 1967, the CIA Created the Label "Conspiracy Theorists" ... to Attack Anyone Who Challenges the "Official" Narrative
Summarizing the tactics which the CIA dispatch recommended:
Claim that it would be impossible for so many people would keep quiet about such a big conspiracy
Have people friendly to the CIA attack the claims, and point back to "official" reports
Claim that eyewitness testimony is unreliable
Claim that this is all old news, as "no significant new evidence has emerged"
Ignore conspiracy claims unless discussion about them is already too active
Claim that it's irresponsible to speculate
Accuse theorists of being wedded to and infatuated with their theories
Accuse theorists of being politically motivated
Accuse theorists of having financial interests in promoting conspiracy theories
In other words, the CIA's clandestine services unit created the arguments for attacking conspiracy theories as unreliable in the 1960s as part of its psychological warfare operations.
vraiblonde
Board Mommy
It is disgusting, and easily refuted with both logic and facts. But that is the new reality - if a lie is told often enough, and enough people believe it, it becomes the truth. They really don't even know what they believe because the story has been changed and massaged so often.
Anyone who thinks the Russians hacked into our voting machines and changed votes to favor Donald Trump is a ####ing idiot.
If they think Russians hacked into DNC computers and revealed unscrupulous information about Hillary Clinton, and they are more outraged by the "hacking" than the information revealed, they are ####ing idiots.
If they think Trump should declare war on the Russians, even though he's not even president yet, they are (you guessed it) ####ing idiots.
If they want to call me a ####ing idiot, they should go on FB and see all the mathy order of operations problems I consistently get wrong. Regarding our current political situation, however, they are having the order of operations dysfunction, not me.
#*! boat!
Hank said:
George, in this case...after considering how many others have verified/repeated the same thing, including Assange himself. Ole Hil was done in by someone inside..someone disgusted with all the slimeball tactics and dirty tricks.
Besides..the CIA has provided zippy details...so there is nothing to believe, or not.
Gilligan said:
NO ONE has .... it is all conjecture none of the 17 Intelligence Agencies [from the latest Bong Boy Posts]
but as the 6 questions point - would the Russians really be this Obvious
but I'll take answers to # 5
As reported by The Nation, VIPS has a well-established record of debunking questionable intelligence assessments that have been slanted to serve political purposes. For example, in the run-up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, VIPS courageously and correctly challenged the accuracy and veracity of the CIA's intelligence estimates that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction and posed a threat to the United States. Similarly, VIPS has condemned the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" on suspected terrorists. In short, VIPS can hardly be described as either a right-wing cabal or as carrying water for the Republican Party.
In its analysis of the purported DNC hack, VIPS brought to bear the impressive talents of more than a dozen experienced, well-credentialed experts, including William Binney, a former NSA technical director and cofounder of the NSA's Signals Intelligence Automation Research Center; Edward Loomis, former NSA technical director for the Office of Signals Processing; and Skip Folden, a former IBM information technology manager. As the French would say, these are l'hommes serieux.
As set forth in the article, VIPS' investigative findings were nothing short of stunning. First, VIPS concluded that the DNC data were not hacked by the Russians or anyone else accessing the server over the Internet. Instead, the data were downloaded into a thumb drive or similar portable storage device physically attached to the DNC server.
The time stamps contained in the released computer files' metadata establish that, at 6:45 p.m. July 5, 2016, 1,976 megabytes (not megabits) of data were downloaded from the DNC's server. This took 87 seconds, which means the transfer rate was 22.7 megabytes per second, a speed, according to VIPS, that "is much faster than what is physically possible with a hack." Such a speed is accomplished by directly connecting a portable storage device to the server. Accordingly, VIPS concluded that the DNC data theft was an inside job by someone with physical access to the server.
VIPS also found that, if there had been a hack, the NSA would have a record of it that could quickly be retrieved and produced. But no such evidence has been forthcoming. Can this be because no hack occurred?
Even more remarkable, the experts determined that the files Guccifer 2.0 released were "run, via ordinary cut and paste, through a template that effectively immersed them in what could plausibly be cast as Russian fingerprints." In other words, the files were deliberately altered to give the false impression that they were hacked by Russian agents.
Thanks to the VIPS experts, the Russia-hacking claim — the lynchpin of the DNC's lawsuit — appears to have been affirmatively and convincingly undercut.

Where is the source of your it is well statement?
Posted in Christians, Disciples of Christ, Guidance, Spiritual growth	by Candyce D.
Some of the struggles that I face as a blogger who's mission is to share the word of God, is allowing the spirit to guide me with the topics/post that are needed to help others. I have experiences in each of my post and that's why I make sure I listen to God and how to bring it to you. This past week has been a struggle for me write one that because I truly allow God to lead my blog and that includes waiting on Him to share His wisdom with me in order to break it down to you. In between my post I ask God to reveal what my next post should be and I study the Bible and spend a lot of time with Him. Quite a bit of different topics crossed my mind but nothing pricked my heart like this topic. I'm not sure about you guys but whenever you try and share God's word, the enemy tries to feed you distractions that are meant to block what is truly needed. When experiencing the closeness to God, that will allow you to hear His voice and trust only what He is saying to you. That is the source of my blog!
In my family I have challenged some (including myself) to really search our hearts and line it up with our speech/actions. For me the real results actually reaffirmed me and the path that I am on NOW. Years ago (not too long ago) my heart and actions were actually on complete opposite sides of each other. My heart was not right which led to a lot of my actions that went against the Word of God. I did not truly understand how much God loved me and what that actually looked like. The feeling that God punishes every time you mess up and no good things will happen when you do those things basically calling you a failure is what I held onto. I didn't understand that in the midst of your sin, God's love will never fail and because He loves you… He will never leave you. The enemy wants to keep your sinful identity and call you by your sin which makes you feel like you're a failure and not worthy of Our Father's Love. I fell victim to that lie for the longest time and I know that a lot of you are struggling with that as well. Don't allow others to tell you that God can't love you because you did XYZ. We all have a redemption story and it is worth sharing to help someone that is truly struggling with guilt, shame, pride and/or depression etc.
It. Is. Well. When you say that where does your confidence if any come from? Does it come from the security of your job making a certain amount of money? Does it come from just repeating it because you love to sing that beautiful song? Does it come from someone else telling you that everything is taken care of? Does it come from just reading it somewhere and able to recite it? OR does it come from in your heart of hearts that God has given you the confidence through Him that reassures you that in the midst of your trials and tribulations that IT. IS. WELL? Does it come from knowing truly what the L❤VE actually looks and feels like in your life? Living it out and not just SAYING those "Jesus" phrases because that is what Christians should do. That mentality is very dangerous and before you know it, you are blinded by yourself and not understanding the whole word of God. That makes for a surface type of relationship with God which really means no relationship if you are honest with yourself. That ties back into your heart and what you believe about God's love. That song is actually one of my favorite hymnals to sing and to be transparent and honest with you guys, all of those above questions about what the it is well statement means was my way of thinking and no thought or feelings of God's love and security in Him was present. I praise God for the transformation of my way of thinking that flows from my heart and the identity and true love that I know exist. So in the midst of your test and trials, is your heart at peace knowing that God's love for you will never fail? Believing that He has your back and that you can look your trial in the face and with the confidence of God and say IT.IS.WELL!!!
Do a heart ❤ check and allow God to show you the true source of your IT IS WELL with my soul statement. IS IT FLOWING FROM YOUR HEART OR AN OUTSIDE SOURCE?

Romans 8:26-28 are the perfect explanations on what being filled with the Holy Spirit looks like. Even when we don't know what to say, the Spirit intercedes on our behalf. Meaning all of the feelings and hurts that we experience are interpreted to God and in return God grants us His comfort and unfailing love. Have you ever been so hurt and let down that it hurt you to your core? Personal experiences like that were hard to go through all on my own. I remember one particular situation that I faced, I was so full of emotions and didn't know how to express my feelings, I said a quick prayer "Jesus I need you" and it was like a sense of so much comfort and love that calmed my tears and hurt in the very moment. That was the Holy Spirit working on my behalf to stay close to God during my darkest and lowest times.
When you are in sync with the Spirit, you have to be in fellowship (confessed sins) I John 1:9. Honestly if you ask me having the Trinity (God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) apart of your life is the best feeling ever!! They all work as one and the purpose is to carry out the will of God. What do you think the will of God is? Think about that for a few minutes and are you living it out?
Produces peace even when the world/man says you should be doing more or something else with your time.
Shows the world that anything is possible through Christ.
Fills voids that no man can fill.
Creates a way out of no way.
Blesses your life and protects you from the enemy.
Allows you to experience the joy only God can give.
Be encouraged and stay in His will for your life so that you can experience God on a whole other level! Trust me when I tell you that NOTHING and I repeat NOTHING is worth jeopardizing walking in your purpose. So whatever sin(s) is/are holding you back, get healing from God. God did not send His son to be used for our continual sins that we don't want to give up. He sent him to help us get right and He does not grant us grace so that we can continue to enjoy our sins. At some point there has to be a feeling of remorse for walking wayward. I know that it will take some time but start by crying out to God to help break those stronghold chains that are holding you up from growing spiritually and walking in your purpose.
TIL NEXT TIME MY LOVES!!!!!!!!!


Not much to really talk about. I'm a twenty year-old dude from Arizona, currently enrolled in college for computer science. What I really want to do, though, is write in both books and comics and draw them as well--and I'm just all around an artsy-fartsy guy, if you want to get all in-your-face about it.
There's more to me, of course, but you'll be able to gleam more of that by my journals and, you know, talking to me.

If you are stationary or any bit ponderous, a team like Donegal or Down just want to get one hand on you. They want to stop you up, make you turn, make you foul the ball. Before you know it, you're gobbled up by three players. Hot on the heels of this humiliation came another, more devastating one.

At this point, the falling aircraft had about 23 minutes of glide time until it hit the ocean. The crew frantically tried to restart the engines in mid air. With a crash landing possibly only minutes away, the pilot, Captain Eric Moody, made a breathtaking announcement over the PA: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Imagine that you are trying to get the sand in front of the ball and behind the ball onto the green. This is a great way to help you visualize the feel and trajectory you need on your shot.2. Keep your knees flexed and remain in a crouch throughout your shot.3. Just . Wow. To the ragworm's credit, that view is more hilarious than terrifying.

For example, it should be the consumer who decides which massage practitioner they feel more comfortable going to, not the state. In the end, a practitioner who doesn't keep his clients happy won't survive in business, especially in a small town, where a good massage business is built on referrals and repeat clients. This is true even in a large city. 2. The Strokes Dirt bikes generally use 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines.

Another indication of overall activity is the amount of bandwidth used, or to put it another way, the total of the amount of data that has been transferred per day. This will vary according to how many visitors you have, how many files they view, and of course the type of site you have. If your site is heavy with graphics, or if there are e books and mp3s to download then the data transfer on your site will be higher than on a site with plain text.

Envy is registered in the mind like a real feeling of bodily pain, while schadenfreude induces a pleasant euphoric state akin to a low grade orgasm.

I know Amboy Road, up over Sheep Mountain Pass and down into Wonder Valley pretty well. I was getting close to home and felt a little less sleepy, so I upped the Mustang rpm again.

At Mission Bicycle, pants by two California companies, Cordarounds and Swrve, are stylish enough to be worn by noncyclists.

It's not a reflection on his chronic fumbling. He and McGahee will get along fine. All he wants to do is get back on the field and do what he does best."I feel the same way I felt after the season," he said. The legs should be white from below the knee and hock to the feet. As with full size Herefords, a strip of white appears from just behind the ears down the top of the neck to level with the point of shoulder. The brush of the tail is white.. Still exists. Perhaps Jersey is too expensive for such shops to survive the rentals that are now charged. Perhaps we have simultaneously made ourselves more expensive and poorer?One of the ways in which it has changed is that some people (eg BBC) call it "the high street". Commissioner Bettman was under marching orders from hard line team owners to get "the best possible long term deal" and he did. Now that the deal is done, I refuse to look in the rear view mirror. I refuse to judge the owners or the players or try to decide if there was a winner or loser in this mess..

Several hundred Maple Leafs fans gathered at Maple Leaf Square outside the Leafs' home arena Monday night as their favorite team took on the Boston Bruins in Game 3 of their first round playoff series. Most fans were wearing Maple Leafs jerseys and carrying handmade signs supporting their team. But one sign stood out in particular: a sign that said "Toronto Stronger," a play on words off the "Boston Strong" motto that has been used in Boston as a rallying cry after the Boston Marathon bombings..

But it's too little, too late. NATO shouldn't come to Turkey's defense – instead, it should begin proceedings immediately to determine if the lengthy and growing list of Turkish transgressions against the West, including its support for Islamic terrorists, have merit. And if they do – and they most certainly do – the Alliance's supreme decision-making body, the North Atlantic Council, should formally oust Turkey from NATO for good before its belligerence and continual aggression drags the international community into World War III.
Under Erdogan's leadership, our NATO ally has arrested more journalists than China, jailed thousands of students for the crime of free speech, and replaced secular schools with Islamic-focused madrassas. He has publicly flaunted his support for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood while accusing long-time ally Israel of "crimes against humanity," violated an arms ban to Gaza, bought an air defense system (and nearly missiles) from the Chinese in defiance of NATO, and denied America the use of its own air base to conduct strikes during the Iraqi War and later against Islamic terrorists in Syria. As Western allies fought to help repel Islamic State fighters in the town of Kobani in Western Syria two years ago, Turkish tanks sat qeietly just across the border.
In fact, there is strong evidence (compiled by Columbia University) that Turkey has been "tacitly fueling the ISIS war machine." There is evidence to show that Turkey, as Near East Outlook recently put it, allowed "jihadists from around the world to swarm into Syria by crossing through Turkey's territory;" that Turkey, as journalist Ted Galen Carpenter writes, "has allowed ISIS to ship oil from northern Syria into Turkey for sale on the global market;" that Erdogan's own son has collaborated with ISIS to sell that oil, which is "the lifeblood of the death-dealing Islamic State"; and that supply trucks have been allowed to pass freely across Turkey in route to ISIS fighters. There is also "evidence of more direct assistance," as Forbes puts it, "providing equipment, passports, training, medical care, and perhaps more to Islamic radicals;" and that Erdogan's government, according to a former U.S. Ambassador, worked directly with the al Qaeda affiliate in Syria, the al-Nusrah Front.
While Ankara pretends to take military action against ISIS, with its obsessive view of the Kurds, it has engaged in a relentless series of artillery strikes against the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) that are routing ISIS troops in northern Syria. The Kurds are the largest ethnic group on earth without a homeland – 25 million Sunni Muslims who live at the combined corners where Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Turkey meet. Turkey has waged a bloody, three-decade civil war against its 14 million Kurds – known as the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK – claiming more than 40,000 lives. The most recent peace process failed when Turkey again targeted the PKK, plunging the southeast of the country back into war while increasingly worrying Erdogan that Syrian and Turkish Kurds will join forces just across Turkey's border.
The Turkish government has tried to lay blame for recent bombings in Ankara at the feet of the YPG in an attempt to sway the U.S. to oppose the Kurds. An exasperated Erdogan railed about the loyalties of the West, accused the U.S. of creating a "sea of blood" in the region by supporting the Kurds, and issued an ultimatum: he demanded that the time had come for America to choose between Turkey and the Kurds.
I couldn't agree more: the time has come for the U.S. to choose the Kurds over Erdogan's Turkey.
Critics argue that the Kurds are unwilling to take the fight to ISIS beyond their borders, but this actually presents the U.S. with an opportunity. In exchange for fighting ISIS throughout the region, an international coalition can offer the Kurds their own state. A Kurdish state would become a critical regional ally for the US and play an invaluable role in filling the power vacuum that has emerged in the Middle East. With the help of the U.S., a Kurdish state could also help to accommodate Syrian refugees that have overwhelmed immigration systems in Turkey and Europe. In the long term, it would serve as a valuable regional partner to stabilize the region, and it would set a strong example of successful democracy. In other words, Kurdistan could play the role that Turkey used to play.
It's been said that the difference between being Achilles and almost being Achilles is the difference between living and dying. NATO can do without an Achilles heel: It's time to kick Turkey out for good.

He was poison. Green poison through veins, lips, any opening found or made. Racing lunging toward his heart, an organ playing catch-me-if-you-can. He was always running inside himself, towards or from nothing – it was the sensation of running that he lived by.
He moved to a city that beat and rushed like him. In long narrow spikes like needles, underground ways, litter-strewn paths lit with neon. He felt at home here, like he was inside himself. Everyone here seemed to understand darkness and running, whether they were into poison or not.
"The language of New York is self-referential. We all use 'I' too much," said the girl in the coffee shop, eyes and nails painted black. All of her was letting off smoke like the cup in her long fingers. She was a girl who was not running. She was standing in the middle of a storm that made her turn dark.
He liked to watch her and swirled around her sometimes, but he couldn't stop with her. It was not his way. This made her lonelier.
"Even you have become a New Yorker." It was the greatest insult she could give, the greatest compliment he could receive.
"Oh, I'm just a Jersey boy." If only he could believe his heart could race on its own without injecting New York into it, she thought.
They had both moved from suburban New Jersey around the same time. She often felt it had been out of a morbid curiosity or a wish to escape suburban stagnation. She'd chosen the opposite. Now she felt at home in neither place, but more so inside herself, as if she was slowly defining herself by the process of elimination.
She watched him swimming in himself and wondered when too much of oneself was enough, and wasn't it better to be nothing?
"But who are you without the rush of New York? You are all fish out of water once you leave the Metro area. It's uncomfortable to watch." She took a drag and smiled with her lips but not her eyes.
This thought upset him, but he didn't like confrontation. When a boy walked by with flashing eyes, he followed him to the bathroom on instinct. Her eyes turned down a notch, into more darkness. She smoldered and sank into her book.
When he returned his eyes blazed deeper blue. She had lost him now, as she did every night, and she wondered if she even could know who he was if he didn't know himself. She looked at him as if into an empty mirror and was glad she had the heat of the cup and the words to keep her company.
"What were we saying?" He was drowning in himself now, and enjoying the ride. He began laughing, in ripples and waves that crashed upon her. When he was drowning, he liked to splash.
"Nothing." This was how she got to know herself. It was the only place to go when backed into a dark corner.
She wanted to say they were Bridge-and-Tunnel too, being from Jersey. Or maybe after five years near Needle Park you're a New Yorker?
She tried to keep her apartment bright, more white, more sunshine. But the reality of her Needle Park mornings were eyes still painted dark, smeared from sleep, two dingy curtains billowing for attention.
Bang Bang! "Paige! Jesus, get up!" It was morning and he was crashing down again, and that meant she had to get up. It was hard this time, harder every time. The floor boards creaked and moaned beneath her.
She slid the metal with her dingy fingers until the door was unlatched, and he barreled through like a tornado. He flopped on her futon and looked up into her eyes. His eyes were no longer blazing, but tired. It looked as if he had dried tears on his cheeks. "Have you been up all night?" she asked. She went to the kitchen counter to make coffee.
He began playing with a hangnail on his left ring finger. "Yeah." What more was there to say? It was the morning after a storm.
"Here, take a shower." She tossed him a towel, and he lifted himself to the bathroom. 'It's amazing how he moves like he's 300 pounds when he's getting skinnier every day,' she thought, bringing the warmth of the cup to her lips. She heard the water run.
She went to her computer in her "office," on the opposite side of the room across from her kitchen counter and next to the billowing curtains. They tickled her arm as she opened yesterday's work. Soon she heard the water turn off, and he flung open the bathroom door. Silhouetted against the light of the bathroom, with his ruffled and clean hair and disappearing body, he looked delicate and moved shakily like a duckling taking its first steps.
She thought of the time when they were still together, when it seemed they were going to always be together. She'd come home one day to find him sleeping on the floor instead of the bed. When she opened the door and walked in, he awoke. "Baby!" he had pulled himself from the floor and ran up to her to give her a skinny hug, the kind only he could: all big energy and skinny arms. "I bought a stethoscope today," he'd said. She saw it dangling from around his neck like a charm. She placed her work bag down and took off her dress shoes, one two.
"Is this what you've been doing all day?" she asked. She noticed the candles burning on the floor behind him and was glad he hadn't burned the place down.
There was something different in his eyes then, the first time she'd seen it. It was as if his pupils were jangled, moving black. She noticed the prescription bottles on the counter, from the same drugstore where he must have bought the random stethoscope.
Things are getting weird, she'd thought.
"I love you, too," she'd said, and let him place the cold disc to the skin above her heart.
Now, he was here, and she still loved him, but her heart had changed.
Still wet from the shower, he curled into her bed as he had many times before. She looked at the marks on his arms like mutant freckles, watched his ribcage moving up and down. There was a time when they shocked her, but not now. She lowered a white sheet over him. She was always afraid he wouldn't get up.
But she knew he would, and it would be like every time before. The call and the answer, the lights turning dim outside and the rumbling of evening growing louder. How he would say, "I love you, I love you," and rush around with purpose. His language would be poetry then, and she would love it and hate it at the same time, the colored verses that came rushing out his lips. How she loved and hated that poison herself, the way it brought life at the same time it took it away.
She looked at him, asleep in the sheets. She looked at his belongings, the black knapsack and combat boots painted with grime. And she knew this time she had to be the one to rush, to take on that pace and direction, she had to be New York, with somewhere to go, 'I' being the most important letter in the alphabet. She moved quickly, filling a knapsack of her own: clothes, books, her computer. She looked in her desk drawer for the last few 20s and shoved them deep in her pockets. There she found her darkest shade of lipstick and went to the bathroom. The steam had cleared. She was surprised by her own reflection, she hadn't looked at herself in a long time. She brought the lipstick to the empty mirror, hoping it was the one place the boy would not miss. 'I love you too' she wrote, surprising herself by encircling it with a heart, an unusually girly gesture. But she felt like that, like a girl with a heart. Then she smeared her own lips and kissed the mirror as she wished she could kiss him.
The metal latch remained unfixed when she left, sliding down the stairs as quickly as she could, trying to outrace her thoughts of no, I can't, I shouldn't. When she reached the front door of the building, she opened it to the rush of the streets. For once, she was captivated by speed, she felt it in her own heart. Slinging the knapsack across her back, she began to run, letting it fill her, and the more she ran the more she needed, night-painted faces blurring as she passed. She ran past the Crusties, the nannies, strollers, and little dogs. She ran, and the light of all lights, the looming needle of the Empire State, grew larger. She planned to reach it and keep going.
