J.K. Rowling Hints to Oprah There Could Be More Harry Potter
"You never know," says the author, who also feels no need to top her past achievements
By Hilary Shenfeld

Fans, rejoice – J.K. Rowling offered a bit of hope on Friday that, perhaps, the final Harry Potter story has yet to be told.
"I could definitely write an eighth, ninth, tenth," the celebrated author, 45, told Oprah Winfrey during an interview scheduled to air Friday. "I'm not going to say I won't. I don't think I will I feel I am done, but you never know."
Speaking in Edinburgh, where the interview took place, Rowling said she felt something of a loss upon finishing the saga's last installment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. "It was a bereavement," she said.
Not that she's completely put down her pen. Rowling plans to write more books, and feels there is no need to match or top her previous achievement.
"I did it. I'm really proud I did it," she said. "But this is a new phase."

And though she went on to become richer than Queen Elizabeth II – selling more than 400 million books about her young wizard and his pals – Rowling recalled that the Harry Potter series almost didn't happen. Turned down by 12 publishers before one finally agreed to print the first book, Rowling was informed by an agent: "You'll never make money selling children's books."
Despite being a billionaire today, "I do still worry" about money, given her past history of being a single mother with so little cash she was close to being homeless, she said. She is now married to her second husband, anesthesiologist Dr. Neil Murray, and the couple have three children between them.
Rowling said she has few regrets about her life, but one is that her mother, who died six months after Rowling started writing the first book, never got to see the phenomenal success of the series, which blossomed into several movies and a theme park in Florida.
However, Rowling mentioned that she did turn down one opportunity – when Michael Jackson said he wanted to make a musical based on the books.

Nadal, spared the worst of the heat thanks to his late-night start on Arthur Ashe Stadium, sped past Pospisil 6-3, 6-4, 6-2.
Former champions Stan Wawrinka and Juan Martin del Potro also advanced, while 2012 winner Andy Murray, like Wawrinka back at Flushing Meadows after missing last year through injury, was bounced by Fernando Verdasco.
Wawrinka survived searing mid-day heat and a spirited Ugo Humbert.
"My level is there. I'm playing really good tennis," added Wawrinka, who was unable to defend his 2016 title after undergoing two knee surgeries last year.
"I think there is a good chance that I'm playing better in the next round," said the Swiss, who will face Canadian Milos Raonic for a place in the last 16.
Meanwhile Murray, the 2012 US Open winner, who was playing his first Grand Slam in 14 months, is still fighting to find full fitness after hip surgery in January.
He was disappointed to surrender the first set after holding a set point, but pleased he had enough in the tank to push Verdasco through five break points in the final game before the Spaniard converted his third match point.
Even with his current limitations, Murray is a dangerous opponent, Verdasco said.
"He's an unbelievable player, so talented. No matter how much his hip hurts or whatever, he's going to fight and he's going to put all the balls he can in and run," Verdasco said after earning a third-round meeting with 2009 champion del Potro.
The third-seeded Argentinian, who career was nearly ended by wrist injuries after his maiden Grand Slam triumph here, defeated American Denis Kudla 6-3, 6-1, 7-6 (7/4).
"You don't have fresh air to breathe — you breathe this heat that's coming, the moisture that's in the air. So you feel like you are empty," said the 15th-seed, who fell 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 to Russian Daniil Medvedev.

Q: Rocket league offline multiplayer with KB+M and Xbox one controller I'm trying to play Rocket League with KB+M and xbox one controller, I've looked online and it seems it is possible with the xbox 360 controller.
The way it's described is, start rocket league, disconnect and connect the controller until it shows that it's player 2.
That only seems to work with xbox 360 controllers.
Any tips to make it work with the xbox one controller?

Alright so I've been trying both alternative firmwares, and it turns out, maybe it's me, but on parasites, in granular mode, it seems like the trigger input doesn't do anything, compared to the original mode and kammerl firmware.
Try setting the Density knob to 12 o'clock. A single grain should be generated at each trigger.
I tried installing parasites and I'm having some weird issues. First off, fully calibrated, have a multimeter, good voltage source, etc. I'm finding that the Oliverb is really grainy and glitchy sounding. It only sounds like a normal reverb when the texture knob is all the way to the left. My guess is I'm just doing something wrong with one of the parameters, but I can't figure out with what. Any ideas?
Have you checked the audio quality setting? There are four different modes for changing bitrate/resolution etc.
Hold the Blend parameter/Audio quality button for one second, then press it repeatedly to choose a recording quality. The current quality setting is indicated by a red LED.
Hey gang, I tried out Parasites and I decided that it wasn't for me. I'd like to go back to factory clouds, so I downloaded the firmware but now I can't hear any audio. The firmware procedure seemed to go ok, I can access different modes and the calibration routine, but no audio comes through. Does anyone have any ideas?
two obvious problems would be if your input gain was too low or you've got "density" set to 12 oclock and the wet/dry (1st blend mode) set to 100% wet.
if neither of those obvious problems are issues, it wouldn't hurt to re-program the firmware again.
th0mas, thanks for the input. I backed the density knob back to 9 o'clock. I also have the 1st blend mode set to 12 oclock, I still get nothing coming through. I used to get LEDs flashing depending on the input level, now no matter how high I turn the gain, I'm seeing no lit LEDs.
Oh, and I also refreshed again and recalibrated, no luck.
I've tried with and without freeze, no audio and nothing showing on the LEDs.
I just wanted to say that I downloaded and installed this and I love it!
Feels great being years late to the party.
Trying to figure out why the Oliverb doesn't sound anything like the demo, no infinite available and it sounds really off. The controls more or less function as described but somethings amiss. I calibrated as per instructions, holding Write button on startup, used mpc via cv.ocd to send the c2, c4. Clouds was purchased late 2016... Not sure how to troubleshoot, any suggestions?
Ah, may have figured it out. The MPC/cv.ocd was sending incorrect voltages for some reason. Measured with the meter, re-calibrated and good to go now.
*edit - still not right. The reverb works better but Clouds mode isn't working like the original. Will try calibrating with Beatstep Pro and see if there's any difference I guess.
Heya- I'm looking for opinions on if there's any *disadvantage* to the Parasites firmware. I've noticed some people mention preferring the stock firmware but I'm not sure what the reasoning is.
Namely, I'm curious if anybody strongly dislikes the tweaks that were made to the original modes. I'm mostly interested in getting a Clouds for its original modes, and while I'd like the additional Parasite modes as a bonus they aren't worth making sacrifices to the stock Clouds functionalities for me.
I'm interested in grabbing a µClouds at some point, and while most builders offer to install your firmware of choice, they also note that you can't flash the firmware easily via audio- so it seems my firmware choice is semi permanent without buying the proper hardware to change it otherwise.
personally the main mode feels a little harsher with Parasites. I'm not sure what the source of that is; could be the small reduction in grain density, the size knob making smaller grains or the change to the texture knob resulting in a lot of envelope choices with hard edges.
the change to the texture knob resulting in a lot of envelope choices with hard edges.
Hmm, that could be a problem for me. I've designed a granular synth before and only found curved windows, like the raised cosine, to have the sound I wanted. Anything with discontinuity, like in a trapezoidal window, is kinda blegh for my ambience-driven purposes.
Is the issue that the texture knob just becomes a bit more temperamental/finnicky as you peruse the envelope shapes? This might be compounded by the uClouds smaller knob size.
You don't have to use the sharp window though, its only at full CCW of the knob.
Parasites both widens the range of grain size (down to awfully small) and adds additional grain shapes to the texture knob, outright clicky at fully CCW.
one thing I explored in a the stock firmware was in looping delay mode, scannig through a captured buffer with a feedback setting around noon IIRC. this created a nice ambient haze, the eq sweep in texture was delightfully useful there. Parasites moves the feedback chain so I cant do that. its a change, hasnt killed me, but so read through the current Parasites documentation.
I think they were respondin' to me!
So I have clouds running Parasites so I will ask this question here. Lets say I am playing a guitar into Clouds Pv2.01 and I want the guitar and processed sound to be blended and want there to be as close to zero temporal distance between what is going into to clouds and what is coming out of clouds. Zero latency, if you will. Where do I set the position knob?
Don't think that's possible - the granular part always has some latency.
Darn. Is there a setting that minimizes it?
what about time stretching mode?
Anyone else having issues with a uBurst and the latest fw? Normal modes seem to be fine but when using oliverb it sounds terribly distorted, the freeze button kills the decay immediately instead of making infinite and compared to the demo videos it just doesnt sound nearly as good as it. The regular reverb in clouds mode seems to behave fine though. Can upload a recording if needed.

DARPA prototypes take new approach to design
By Charlotte Adams
While software developers slave away to develop innovative applications that will run efficiently on operating systems (OSes) designed in a different computing age next-generation OSes are beginning to take shape.
Sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) these efforts are aimed at making OSes sleeker faster and more flexible. The new designs manipulate the kernel or core of the operating system to make the system software more adaptable to application needs.
But the performance-increasing designs challenge traditional security notions. The OS kernel code is placed in user space or a user application code is put in kernel space both of which give applications greater control of computer operations.
DARPA describes the process as less than a complete break with the National Security Agency's decade-old "Orange Book " the standard reference for computer security.
The new concepts violate the concept of "trust " which is enshrined in the Orange Book. The book assumes among other things that the kernel be fixed - not dynamic - and that all security functions be concentrated in it. The changes therefore raise the question of the standard's continuing relevance.
The first operating system and software tool project being developed under the DARPA program is called Flux which combines a stripped-down "microkernel" with tight process control in an approach that has considered security from the outset said Jay Lepreau assistant director of the University of Utah's Computer Systems Laboratory in Salt Lake City. At 80K the kernel contains little more than mechanisms for managing address space mapping synchronization threads and communications "ports and references " Lepreau said.
Excluded from the kernel are features for managing virtual memory peripheral devices the file system and scheduling. Now residing in user space these features can be selected - or not - through applications depending on the user's needs. The system also is oriented toward hardware-based OS and application protection.
Flux's most unique feature - and its most promising attribute from a security viewpoint - is its ability to run processes in a nested fashion - one inside of the other - allowing parent processes to control the resources consumed by children grandchildren and so on including memory CPU and higher-level services.
Exokernel Traffic Cop
A second DARPA project the Exokernel project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology likewise shrinks the kernel to an "absolute minimum " intending it to do nothing more than resource allocation hardware protection and fault isolation said Frans Kaashoek associate professor of electrical engineering. The focus is on "discretionary access control" systems rather than the rarefied "mandatory access control" systems he said.
Exokernel researchers "want to eliminate the overhead" of OS "abstractions " such as communications services file systems displays and other devices "and create a very thin kernel that acts as a traffic cop " said Gary Koob who manages DARPA's Operating Systems and Services subprogram.
Perhaps the most unique and important factor in this approach is its exposure of the hardware to application programs something that past operating systems have avoided religiously. If an application wants to display something on a screen it can write to it directly without going through an intermediate window manager for example.
Exokernel researchers have already implemented a World Wide Web server that has provided an order-of-magnitude performance increase on short files compared with that of Harvest a commercially available fast Unix Web server Kaashoek said.
In the Exokernel's security approach library OSes will "define their own abstractions with appropriate security models " Kaashoek said. Security developers would enjoy the fact that it is easier to write code that runs in user space than it is to write OS code because developers can use standard debuggers and other development tools.
The Spin project at the University of Washington Seattle is the third of the DARPA OS projects. It is aimed at higher performance by "customizing the kernel to the requirements of the application " Koob said. Under the Spin approach "users can write their own variations of kernel services and plug them into the kernel" at runtime.
Because these kernel extensions run in the kernel address space "they interact with the rest of the kernel not by way of messages but by way of [faster] direct procedure calls and memory sharing " explained Brian Bershad associate professor of computer science at Washington.
A key issue however is safety. "If you're letting people write code into the kernel how do you make sure that it doesn't do anything bad?" Koob asked.
The answer is twofold. First Spin requires kernel extensions - the parts of applications that reside in the kernel - to be written in Modula 3 which provides low-level protection by limiting the ways in which different types of data such as an integer can be manipulated.
Second higher-level security will leverage the work on "domain type enforcement" (DTE) by Trusted Information Systems Inc. Glenwood Md. in other DARPA-sponsored research Bershad said. DTE promises to allow system administrators to prescribe "the domains that can be active" on a machine and for each domain the resources that can be active he said.
Scouting Paths
The fourth DARPA effort Scout likewise customizes the operating system but for communications applications. Scout is built around a new concept called "path abstraction " said Larry Peterson professor of computer science at the University of Arizona Tucson.
"We're extending the path abstraction into the host OS so that everything from the wire to the operating system all the way to the application is designed around the same set of abstractions " Peterson said.
Scout attempts to combine different standardized components at system build time Koob said."It's not dynamically creating new parts of the OS but optimizing them" - via compiler techniques - to suit the needs of particular devices he added.
Focusing on communications functionality also "gives us a nice leverage on security " Peterson said. With Scout "you can define the secure attributes of a path and have a policy [tailored] to that path " he said.The final DARPA project dubbed Synthetix also attempts to increase performance by customizing the operating system - via compiler technology - to specific application requirements.
The Synthetix approach would build into an OS the option of using higher-performance code when certain assumptions are met. For example if it is assumed that only one person has access to a certain file the code that checks whether anyone else wants access could be eliminated.Adams is a free-lance writer based in Alexandria Va.


Polynesians which includes Marquesans, Samoans, Niueans, Tongans, Cook Islanders, Hawaiians, Tahitians, and Māori, are genetically linked to indigenous peoples of parts of Southeast Asia.
Our Polynesian sunglasses has a variety of designs which consists of different meanings. The wooden sunglasses frame consists of the ocean, shark teeth, spearheads, and Tiki.
Ocean symbols are very common among Polynesian tattoo designs. They are usually used to not only express specific meanings but also fill some blank blocks in order to shape complete patterns. Polynesian people regard the ocean as their final destination where they go when passed away. So sometimes the ocean is a symbol of death, or the world beyond. Besides, the ocean is also regarded as their source of food and can represent life, fertility and persistence. Ocean waves are used to symbolize the other world beyond too, which is a homeland where all ancestors live, where they'll eventually be.
Shark teeth is another fish symbol which is very popular among Polynesian tattoo fans. Nearly over 50% Polynesian tattoo designs have shark teeth symbols embedded in. It's also called "niho mano" in Polynesian language.
Shark teeth usually represents shelter or coverage, guidance, power, ferocity, adaptability, etc. In Polynesian legend, sharks also represent the god of Polynesian people. It has lots of variations and combinations, like the ones showed in the pictures above.
Spearheads are quite commonly used in almost all Polynesian Tattoo Ideas. They're used to express courage, dominance, and willpower – and are a staple of Polynesian design. Like the sun, spearheads are used in conjunction with specific elements to convey different meanings. For example; a line of spearheads parallel to a line of upside down Enata can represent the defeat of one's enemies.
Lastly, the Tiki is a symbol of the Polynesian Semi-Gods. As a Guardian, the Tiki mainly represents protection. Different elements of the Tiki can symbolize different meanings; for instance, when the nose is seen to be "sniffing" it means that it is sensing danger prior to it's arrival.

New Las Vegas ordinance makes it a crime to sleep on city sidewalks
Posted 9:51 pm, November 7, 2019, by CNNwire, Updated at 10:00PM, November 7, 2019
File photo from CNN
LAS VEGAS (CNN) — In an attempt to get homeless people off city streets, the Las Vegas City Council has passed an ordinance that makes it a crime to camp or sleep on a city sidewalk.
Supporters of the ordinance, which passed 5-2 on Wednesday, say it's an attempt to push the more than 6,500 homeless people and families in southern Nevada into homeless shelters while also protecting the health and safety of the community.
The city council said Las Vegas has committed $16 million to the Courtyard Homeless Resource Center, which provides housing and a range of other services to address chronic homelessness.
"The city believes the ordinance will be a benefit to the homeless population, while at the same time protecting the health and safety of the entire community," Mayor Caroyln G. Goodman said on Twitter. "The city has always demonstrated compassion for the needs of the growing homeless population, understanding the public safety of everyone is a top priority."

But opponents said the law just makes it more difficult for homeless people to get back on their feet. Protesters at the city council hearing chanted "housing not handcuffs," CNN affiliate KSNV reported.
"All this does is add one more law that can be used by police and prosecutors to criminalize people who are stuck on the street," Gary Peck, the former head of the ACLU of Nevada, told KSNV.
Las Vegas is one of a number of cities across the country with a significant number of homeless people because of a combination of expensive rent, job loss, addiction and lack of mental health services.
In Las Vegas, a 2016 survey of over 400 homeless people found that 84% slept most often outside of a shelter, including 52% who slept on the street, sidewalk or doorway. In addition, 55% of people had not used any shelter services in the past year, and of those, 31% said it was because of bed bugs and 18% said it was because of dirty conditions.
Of all the respondents, 29% said they became homeless because of they lost a job and 20% because they were unable to afford monthly rent.
The ordinance passed in Las Vegas makes it a misdemeanor to camp or sleep in the public right-of-way, such as a sidewalk, in downtown and residential areas if space is available at the Courtyard Homeless Resource Center or another non-profit service provider.
The charge comes with up to a $1,000 fine or six months in jail, said Diana Paul, public affairs manager for Las Vegas. The ordinance goes into effect this coming Sunday, though criminal penalties will not apply until February 2020.

Standard Taxi
The Vehicle Production Group LLC was an American automobile manufacturer. Based in Miami, Florida, it made the wheelchair-accessible taxicabs, the MV-1 (Mobility Vehicle-1), which was built in Mishawaka, Indiana at an AM General plant.
Standard Taxi[edit]
Specifications[edit]
Production began in 2011, but by February 2013, Vehicle Production Group ceased production of new vehicles. The company laid off all employees and closed its doors in May 2013 after their finances dropped below the minimum condition of a $50 million clean-energy loan awarded by the US Department of Energy in March 2011.[1] AM General reached an agreement with the Department of Energy to acquire the assets of VPG in September 2013, after it had purchased the $50 million DOE loan for $3 million.[2] AM General created Mobility Ventures,[2] a wholly owned subsidiary to again produce and distribute the MV-1 through its dealer network. Production restarted on March 11, 2014.[3]
The Standard Taxi is a purpose-built taxicab prototype designed by Vehicle Production Group.[6] It was unveiled at the 2005 International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR) conference and later that year at the Taxicab, Limousine, and Paratransit Association (TLPA) annual convention in Las Vegas.[6]
In mid-2008, it was announced that a contract had been signed with South Bend, Indiana-based AM General to build the Standard Taxi taxicabs, beginning in 2009.[7]
Through market feedback, VPG developed a more advanced and user-friendly vehicle known as the MV-1 to replace the Standard Taxi, which never entered series production.
Vehicle Production Group LLC (VPG)
Production – 2010 (planned, but cancelled)
Engine – GM SEFI 4.3 L Vortec V6 engine
Wheelbase – 122 inches (3,099 mm)
Length – 196.5 inches (4,991 mm)
Width – 79.4 inches (2,017 mm)
Height – 75 inches (1,905 mm)
Fuel capacity – gasoline – 24 US gallons (91 L)
The MV-1 was a purpose-built taxicab designed by Vehicle Production Group and built in Mishawaka, Indiana at an AM General plant[8][9] The name is an initialism for "Mobility Vehicle 1". It was intended to replace the planned Standard Taxi, and like that car it was developed in collaboration with AM General.[8] The first MV-1 rolled off the line in October 2011 and was delivered to disabled former American football player Marc Buoniconti, who was a company spokesperson.[10]
Developed from the Standard Taxi, it was a more advanced and user-friendly vehicle than its predecessor. The MV-1 was the first production-made purpose-built vehicle in North America constructed from the ground up for people with disabilities.[11] It seats up to six adults, with two full-size wheelchairs. Chairs are allowed entry via an ADA-approved ramp, able to carry 1,200 lb (544 kg) and which stows under the vehicle's floor.[12] The rear doors are 36 inches wide and 56 inches tall, to accommodate bulky wheelchairs.[9]
On 21 October 2011 it was announced that New York City's Taxi and Limousine Commission had approved the MV-1 for use as a yellow cab.[13] Because it is handicap accessible, the MV-1 will continue to be approved for taxi use even after the new Nissan NV200 has replaced all other yellow cabs.[citation needed] The MV-1 is the first purpose-built taxicab to be allowed to enter service as a yellow cab since the iconic Checker Marathon.[13]

Originally the MV-1 was to be based on a General Motors pickup truck with a standard GM drivetrain. Instead, the concept version had a Roush designed chassis[14] and a powertrain from a Ford Crown Victoria.[9][12] In either case, it has a simple but sturdy body-on-frame construction with fully boxed rails. The engine is the well-known Ford Modular 4.6 liter V8 which produces 248 hp (185 kW).[10] VPG had partnered with Clean Energy Inc, the largest provider of compressed natural gas (CNG) for fleets in North America, to offer the MV-1 with a CNG fuel option. The MV-1 with CNG has an estimated 290-mile range with three Type-3 tanks integrated into the vehicle's design.[9]
Production was temporarily halted in the summer of 2012 as VPG changed their tooling in order to introduce the MV-1 LX, a more luxurious version. The LX will allow the access ramp to be controlled from the keyfob, and also has some wood trim and other luxury features.[15]
The 2015/2016 model is powered by a newer Ford 3.7-liter Ti-VCT V6. Fuel economy is 14 mpg city, 16 mpg highway, and 15 mpg average.

Bite by bite through Detroit's McNichols soul food strip
by Tom Perkins
Tom Perkins
Rib tip dinner at Southern Smokehouse.
If we were to name an unofficial cuisine of Detroit, should it be anything other than soul food? After all, is there a town that better understands the process of properly spicing and frying a pork chop — not cooking it to death, but delivering a juicy, flavorful cut? Where else do chefs mix mac and cheese with such depth? Is there a city out there that has a better handle on the hows, whats, and whys of braising the perfect oxtails?
We say no, and that's not just our regional pride shining through — these are the facts. And perhaps nowhere in the city is there a higher concentration and better representation of Detroit soul food's range than on McNichols Road. The stretch between the Lodge and Southfield Freeway is one of Northwest's more lively commercial corridors, and that's where you'll find a fine cross-section of the genre that includes traditional soul food dishes, fusion, upscale restaurants, and everything in between.
A good place to start should you travel down the McNichols strip is the Southern Smokehouse, a small carryout only spot run by chef and co-owner Dwayne Hayes and his 14 siblings. Hayes started cooking as a kid and trained under Chef Milos Cihelka at Southfield's Golden Mushroom before striking out on his own in the neighborhood in which his family grew up.
Dwayne Hayes and sister Janelle Smith.
Hayes notes Southern Smokehouse's oxtails, which he slowly braises in red wine and enhances with herb bouquets. The tomato cobbler — yes, tomato — is a sweet signature dish that Hayes says his dad ate as a boy growing up in Mississippi. The younger Hayes and his mom replicated it, and it can't be found elsewhere in Detroit.
But our favorite dish at Southern Smokehouse is the rib tips dinner, which comes stained pink after spending hours in the smoker, and wet with a generous slathering of barbecue sauce. Rib tips used to be an afterthought and are uninspired in the wrong hands — here the Hayes family delivers orderly, rectangular tips holding layers of smoke, tangy barbecue sauce, and sweet pork.
The sides match the main course, and the mustard-tinged turnips are a better bet than the collard greens, though that's a matter of preference as both are excellent. The high grade, deep yellow-orange mac and cheese comes webbed with stringy cheese that stretches from your fork in every bite — as proper mac should.
Tomato cobbler at Southern Smokehouse.
Chase the meal with a jumbo wedge of homemade, deep red velvet cake partitioned with layers of sweet cream cheese frosting. It'll leave you crawling for the nearest salad for your next meal, but that's a good thing.
A few blocks east, Toya Green is rolling in a slightly higher end restaurant called Sweet Soul Bistro. As the night grows late, it becomes a Motown-inspired club, but Green says it's a family environment during dinnertime. Sweet Soul is her second venture — she previously ran Toya's bar — and though it feels like something that you may find closer to downtown, Green says she prefers cooking on McNichols.
"We wanted to bring something back to the neighborhood that uplifts everything else. In downtown, some of the minority-owned businesses are getting pushed out … and I wanted to make sure I put a diamond in the neighborhood," she tells us.
Dishes at Sweet Soul Bistro.
Green's background doesn't include any formal kitchen training, though the food will lead you to believe otherwise, and the recipes are all her own. Of them, the honey glazed salmon stands out because Green achieves the perfect balance between sweet and savory in the large filet.
She tells us her top sellers are her Aretha Franklin Catfish Bites and Stevie Wonderful Wings, the latter of which — we noted in a 2015 review — offer "hints of General Tso's flavor and just the right amount of heat. Crispy, but not fried to death." Green won't reveal the seasoning formula that dusts the Aretha Franklin Catfish Bites, but the mix of Cajun spices delivers some rather sweet heat.
At lunch, the pork chop sandwich (bone in) is priced to move at $4.99, comes with fries, and benefits from a squirt of hot sauce. Green's greens are among the city's best, and don't skip the mac and cheese, which is a rich treat.

Oxtail at Rono's.
A friend of ours, Mama Nezaa Bandele, once told us for an article about Detroit's small but mighty Jamaican food community that "the culture of Detroit is 'Detroit.'" Detroit's culture rubs off on the city's immigrant populations, and she says there's evidence of that in its Jamaican cuisine. The dishes at Detroit's Jamaican restaurants are inspired by Jamaican recipes but some hold a decidedly Detroit dimension.
That's the case in certain recipes at Rono's, a carryout Jamaican spot inside a building that doesn't particularly look like it holds a restaurant. We couldn't help but feel like there was a bit of Detroit in Rono's oxtail, which soaks in a brown gravy, and the tender meat slides right off the bone.

Catfish dinner at Lady Louisa's
Across the street and a little west is Sweetwater Tavern's McNichols outpost. Though it's not a straight up soul food spot, you're going to want to stop in for the wings, which we determined are Detroit's best.
For more traditional takes, Lady Louisa's fried-to-perfection catfish — which arrives with a crispy casing holding melt-in-your mouth, flaky meat — is one of the better standards. As MT staffer Violet Ikonomova put it: "These ain't no catfish strips, folks. There's a whole god dang catfish in each piece." The fried chicken wings are also worth a look, but the gravy is perhaps the best thing rolling out of Louisa's kitchen. It's thick, flavorful, and salty — but not too much so, and a coating of it will enhance just about anything on your plate.
Lady Louisa's.
Finally, on the south side of McNichols near The Lodge, Connie & Barbara's is a no-frills, old school diner with a counter that specializes in breakfast, but the best option is the fried pork chop, which stands tall above a city awash in delicious, tasty fried pork chops.

I Wish I Could Back Up
by Alan Jackson
Album: Good Time (2008)
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer asked Jackson if this was autobiographical in the light of his wife Denise Jackson's best-selling book (It's All About Him: Finding the Love of My Life), in which she revealed that her Christian faith had helped save a marriage gone astray. The Country superstar replied: "Well, definitely, there's a lot of that lyric that I've lived. It made it much easier to write because I've been through a lot of that. But I didn't sit down and necessarily put it together for that reason."

If you had to plan the urban transport system from scratch today, would it look the way it does now? probably not. Urban transportation planning suffers from a mental fixation and I invite you to take a step back with me and rethink about how it should be conducted. In my opinion, the IT systems we have today can lead to a new type of transport, one that is not defined by Nodes and Modes.
If you had to plan the urban transport system from scratch today, would it look the way it does now? This is a question that mayors, opinion leaders and entrepreneurs insist on not asking. Everyone plays the same familiar game of transportation and 'moves the cheese' only slightly each time. Urban transportation planning is fixated about modes and nodes. In fact … if there is anything more conservative than city transportation planning it is the design of the cars that travel in it.
Have you ever thought about the game plan of the big transportation companies conquering the world? Ride hailing companies like Uber or Lyft, bike and e-scooter sharing companies like Bird or Lime and more. All these have a unique Game Economics that determine their strategy. So let's understand some of the rules that govern these companies. As usual, this is a very technical post, written for those that really need to understand the game.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/texas-independent-clinics-fight-survive-under-restrictive-abortion-law-n1283696
So Texan women are going to have to pay to leave Texas, or travel very far out of their way, in order to get an abortion. It's effectively being killed there regardless of the Roe v Wade decision. But this will likely be replicated in many other states.
The Crumbleys Are On The Run. But to where? I doubt Canada would let them in, and no one in America can legally give them sanctuary.

Sure is lucky this disturbed kid had a role model in the form of Rittenhouse....a vigilante praised as a "hero" by every reactionary idiot in this country.

This story doesn't suggest any circumstances whereby they could claim refugee status, so no, Canada wouldn't allow fugitives from American law into the country legally. They could slip in covertly, of course, but $4,000.00 US won't sustain two people for long in Canada.

I am curious to see if the charges against the parents stick. I've read Michigan doesn't actually have any laws requiring safe storage, but their reported behavior makes it seem unlikely for them to escape a courthouse entirely unscathed.

$4,000 - I'm tempted to suggest the lawyer's retainer, but they'll blow through that way too fast.

Oxford is about 60 miles from me. I know something about Michigan laws.
The charges she laid weren't the right ones, as with Rittenhouse case. The covering law (750.321) is driven by intent (always a hard thing to establish in cases) - involuntary means there wasn't intent, but still the death occured. I don't see lesser charges listed, but I'm not digging into the filings, they may be there.
The facts required to prove the case (that the parents caused the deaths unintentionally) also apply to the school officials that allowed him to return to class, and frankly those are more supportable and proximate - the school discovered the drawing, the school discovered the gun was carried in, the school saw the searches for ammunition, the school failed to act to protect their charges by allowing him to return to class without notifying appropriate mental health/child saftey organizations/the Sheriff's Department, etc (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/03/us/crumbley-parents-charged-michigan-shooting.html).
She's weakened her own case by also charging the kid as an adult - it'll be harder to show negligence or causation on their part, since he is considered in the eyes of the legal system to be a competent adult, and therefore putatively able to know 'right' from 'wrong'. Another hill to climb is the no prior bad acts/disciplinary problems on his record issue - even if there were parenting or gun storage laws they had fallen afoul of, there's no offical indication of an issue, until the shooting.
And, her arguments about clear cut warning signals will be are only from her vantage point (with the facts as presented by the article) - there's a wide variety of opinion on how people should raise their children, like it or not. Yet another uphill fight the prosecutor will have is seating a friendly jury in that country - it only flipped from Republic control in this last election - for a very long time it has been a conservative chunk in southeastern Michigan, and there's a strong tradition of gun ownership, hunting 'up north' , outdoorsmanship, etc.
If she has charged lesser counts, or they are allowed a plea deal, they'll get some negative outcome. If it's balls to the wall like with Rittenhouse, expect a similar outcome.
I think it's a bad situation, I think that we should have better aligned laws than we do, but the law is the tool that the prosecutor has to work within, and making this a political statement as much as a legal one (see numerous clips of her talking about it) isn't helpful, at all. Her 'thinking it's criminal' and being able to prove that statement in court, before a jury, limited by rules of evidence, are two very different things.
Someone made a comment about retainers/fees up thread - she has made this another cause celebre that will have defense donations pouring in, the Crumleys don't have to worry about how they'll pay for it.
So you're saying there may be technical issues with the charges...as with Rittenhouse. Fair enough.
NYT has this, in the story cited:
The day after Thanksgiving, he and his father had gone together to a Michigan gun shop to buy it. He and his mother spent a day testing out the gun, which was stored unlocked in the parents' bedroom. On Monday, when a teacher reported seeing their son searching online for ammunition, his mother did not seem alarmed.
"LOL I'm not mad at you," Jennifer Crumbley texted her son. "You have to learn not to get caught."
That would seem to support SOME kind of charges against the parents, if it's true.
Reports suggest the parents *should be* held accountable to a significant degree, and clearly the prosecutor feels that way. Whether she's letting her anger influence her actions, rather than purely what's feasible under the law...well, that remains to be seen.

The law doesn't work on shoulda/coulda/woulda - specific things have to happen to set the crime and severity charged, and specific elements have to be proved, to support the charge. The prosecutor charged involuntary manslaughter. The facts don't appear to support that charge, from the story (no prior problems with discipline, for ex). Additionally, the intervening actions of other adults dilute their responsiblity (the kid who is being charged as an adult, and the multiple school officials involved, who took no actions to prevent this obviously troubled teen from doing the crime). Will the prosecutor be charging every school official who could have said 'Go home', but didn't? Michigan doesn't have a safe storage law, and while I think they aren't fit parents or responsible gun owners, there's nothing else mentioned about charges they might actually be guilty of under the current laws.
Even if the county prosecutor manages to pull off a Clarence Darrow level case and convict, there are more levels of appeals to go through - all in settings that aren't emotionally charged by the case.
I don't know if the filings include lesser, more applicable crimes. I hope they do, or that the judge that lands the case will allow them to be added early on (as opposed to Rittenhouse).
We'll see what actually goes forward when the charges are filed, not just talked about in a news article.
And, we'll probably see some new laws proposed in state government to tighten up laws around this sort of thing. Since the State houses are controlled by the Republicans now, I wouldn't expect those to go anywhere.
https://www.michiganradio.org/public-safety/2021-12-05/ag-nessel-offers-independent-review-of-schools-actions-related-to-oxford-shooting The review should be conducted by an outside agency, so this is good. I wonder how much the two reports will vary...

Q: Cocoa IB Connection Binding not binding as intended It's possible I simply don't understand bindings. Goal: A menu has three options. A toolbar item is a segmented controller that reflects those three items. User can choose any of the three from the menu or the toolbar item. If chosen from the menu, the selectedSegment of the control should reflect the choice.
Added a property to my NSDocument subclass:
class Document: NSDocument {
    var optionSegment: Int = 0

Created a binding from the control to the property. The Bindings Inspector of Storyboard is for "Selected index (Document.optionSegment)" In the action method for the menu items, I set the doc's optionSegment to 0, 1, or 2.
I'd have thought that that would suffice, but nothing happens. Selecting a menu item does not change the control's selectedSegment and clicking the control in the toolbar doesn't change the property.
What might I be missing or not understanding? Tried binding to the toolbaritem's control and control cell, separately and together, and nothing. Not sure what to try next.
Thanks for suggestions.

Kieron Conway is looking to put 2021 in his rear view and kick on. He disclosed the problems he has been having with his hands in the previous two fights and made clear once surgery is out the way he will be looking to make a big impression on boxing. At the top table in the super welterweight division sits Jermell Charlo and Brian Castano, who look set to have a rematch after their draw last time out for the undisputed crown. Kieron made his feelings crystal clear when it came to 'overrated' Charlo and insisted if the fight got offered to him he would take it and go there thinking he's winning.
Kieron then spoke about the impact of Jake Paul on the sport of boxing and predicited a winner of a potential clash between Jake and Conor McGregor.

$38 is the cost to sponsor one child. How does $38 come to change someone's life? In fact, not just one person's life, but help change a whole community? Okay, the truth is that the money does not make those changes (but it is necessary!) and I still don't fully grasp the process of moving whole communities from surviving to succeeding. However, I do know that it takes an incredible amount of effort from some amazing staff.
Our amazing cooks serving food!
I have had some opportunities to visit Uganda and one of my favorite parts of the trips, which I didn't expect would be beforehand, was getting to know the Children's HopeChest staff. I guess I had never considered the incredible amount of effort and time that goes into providing the truly amazing programs and services to the communities we sponsor. The in-country staff that we met are really incredible people who have really incredible impacts on children's lives. It's worth more than a moment to take a look at the different positions at our CarePoints. The people below are the people making the change in Bukedea, Ogoloi, and Ongongoja.
Cooks – Children's HopeChest provides a meal for every child in the program 6 days out of the week. Our cooks prepare and serve over 100 meals a day, depending on the CarePoint. This is not done with industrial sized ovens, restaurant grade equipment, or even sinks. These meals are prepared over fires with long lines of hungry kids and with a big dash of love (cheesy I know, but I had to say it).
Disciplers – Meet Julius. Julius is a Discipler at the Ogoloi CarePoint. He provides biblical teaching and training as well as being a stable adult contact. Julius assists with homework, runs programs, and facilitates classes (such as sewing, cultivating, and raising chickens). Disciplers also serve as mentors at the CarePoints. Julius was the equivalent of the youth pastor at the Ogoloi church and is always on the lookout for the orphans we sponsor. He has truly saved some of the kids from dire situations and is always there to help.
Social Workers – The Social Workers facilitate relationships between families and CarePoints. They speak out for children's well-being and health as well as conduct home visits. Socials Workers also serve as the intermediary between families and schools .
Caretakers– Meet Richard. Richard is the Caretaker of the Bukedea CarePoint. His responsibilities include supervising the CarePoint staff, serving as an advocate for families and children in the community, and conducting home visits. Richard is married and he and his wife recently had their first baby. He is genuine, hardworking, truly has a heart for the children, and was one of the favorite people I met in Uganda. He is an awesome resource to Children's HopeChest.
Country Director – Meet Joseph. Joseph manages all CarePoints in Uganda. He has years of experience working with nonprofit organizations and is an amazing leader with a huge heart. He ensures the programs are running correctly as well as coordinates and facilitates the visiting teams. If you were to take a trip to visit Uganda, you would most likely have the pleasure of making Joseph's acquaintance, which is worth the ticket itself.
Amazing things are happening in Bukedea, Ogoloi, and Ongongoja. Hungry children are being fed, the sick are receiving medical attention, and communities are being made whole. This is happening because of your sponsorship, but through these awesome staff. Keep them in prayer as they are working to better the lives of the kids that adorn our refrigerators.
Thank you so much to everyone who is already sponsoring a child!! You are changing the kids lives and the lives of each of the staff that we are able to employ because of your sponsorship. To learn more about sponsoring a child please go here and consider sponsoring one TODAY!!
Here are a few more photos of the amazing staff in Uganda!
