Walker pulls shocker, flips to FSU
Gatorsports
Two years ago, Florida coach Will Muschamp opened his National Signing Day press conference with this statement.
"Recruiting is all about developing relationships and trust," he said.
That is no more evident than in the recruitment of DeMarcus Walker.
This time last week, the Jacksonville Sandalwood defensive end was scheduled to visit Florida following the Under Armour All-America Game. Many thought he would back off his long-standing commitment to Alabama and stay in-state.
And he did.
But not to play for the Gators.

In a shocking turn of events, Walker flipped to Florida State late Monday night and will enroll early in Tallahassee today. The ESPN150 member never showed serious interest (if any) in the Noles, but that changed in late December. Jeremy Pruitt, his primary recruiter at Alabama, left the Tide to become Florida State's defensive coordinator.
Pruitt is the reason Walker took a second look at UF — and privately began considering FSU.
"It helped the Gators a lot," Walker said last Wednesday. "Football players go through so much (in college) and your parents are there. If I went to Alabama, I would be nine hours away and I can't just drive to my parents. Talking to coach Pruitt every night, me and him bonded with each other. I had the best connection with him out of all the coaches that recruited me."
In the closing seconds of Friday's UA Game, Walker told The Sun he was still visiting Florida over the weekend. However, after pressure from the Alabama coaching staff — and a recruiting violation by assistant Lance Thomspon — he canceled his trip to Gainesville and appeared to be sticking with the Tide.
But Walker's relationship with Pruitt ultimately won him over, according to his high school Adam Geis.
"He really got kind of nervous about going that far away from home. I think DeMarcus, in the end, felt more comfortable with Jeremy," Geis told The Florida Times-Union.
With Walker now off the board, the Gators will turn their attention to other defensive ends and they have three targets taking officials this month. Auburn commit Tashawn Bower (Somerville, N.J./Immaculata) visits on Jan. 18, USC commit Jason Hatcher (Louisville, Ky./Trinity) visits on Jan. 25 and Elijah Daniel (Avon, Ind.) visits on Feb. 1.
UF offered Mississippi State DE commit Chris Jones (Houston, Miss.) on Saturday, but he's solid with the home-state Bulldogs and will be hard for Florida to flip.

Real shame. We would have got him if not for Lance violation. Sad. God bless him and his future Gator Bait self.

Dito to what J said.
Tampa Gator January 8, 2013 At 6:24 am
Well, I hope Washington and Fulwoood enjoy making the Nole Gaitorbait each year.
V02max January 8, 2013 At 7:26 am
Pay for play. I'd bet my right foot that FSU has a player slush fund.
Steve January 8, 2013 At 7:41 am
Don't see how the "Lance violation" hurt UF. It MAY have hurt Bammer(although it's a "secondary violation", and probably wouldn't result in more than a wrist-slap).
Never underestimate the intricacies of a teenage mind. What are the chances Pruitt is even at F$U for the next 3 years? Not great. Well, enjoy the ACC, Demarcus.
npgator January 8, 2013 At 7:55 am
We should be in very good shape at DE over the next few years. If we can get one of our three remaining targets then that will help with depth.
Joe January 8, 2013 At 7:58 am
People make decisions based on all kinds of reasons, some logical some not. I hope this works out for him but Pruitt won't even be his position coach so I don't know how much time he's going to have to be Walker's buddy.
Zach, when coach talks about developing relationships and trust i recruiting, how come he has never gone after any kids from Texas. After being DC and HCIW at UT he would have developed lots of relationships with HS coaches and recruits in Texas. When he was hired here I thought we had a solid pipeline into Texas and yet not one kid from Texas has even sniffed coming to UF. What's up with that?
Gators79 January 8, 2013 At 8:13 am
Drama Queen….Go luck at Clown U Walker…
Josh January 8, 2013 At 8:21 am
SO MUCH FOR LOYALITY!! Start going after kids that want to be here, like Chandler Register, 6″2, 180lbs, 4.5 speed that can qualify acdemically.
Baton Rouge Gator Fan January 8, 2013 At 8:37 am
Walker was a prima donna from jump. Dude just wanted the attention of being recruited-had nothing to do with a headline that an editor mistakenly put out or any of that other crap. That tells me that his word is no good. Let him go to free shoes so he can get mauled every year by the Gator O-Line. Can't keep giving your word that you're coming to a school & pull the ol' bait & switch at the last minute. And after Florida whups free shoes AGAIN in the Swamp this November I wouldn't shake his hand if I were Muschamp or any other Gator players that he pledged his 'allegiance' to…if you'r not sure where you're gonna go then don't make a committment-just shut your piehole and commit on signing day & be done with it.
GBBOLT January 8, 2013 At 8:45 am
best comment you've had all year baton rouge!
Sean January 8, 2013 At 9:20 am
GBBOLT, I disagree. Walker never "SAID" he was "committing" to us. If anyone is upset it should be the Bammers. THEY were the ones he mistakenly COMMITTED to. I knew at the time it was a mistake. I still feel like UF is really were he wanted to be but for whatever reason he must have a REALLY CLOSE bond with Pruitt considering he never showed any interest in that ACC school.
I think Steve said it best, 'What are the odds he's even at FSU 3 years.' from now. Walker says trust is the key. Where's the trust when Pruitt sells him a bag of goods on Bama then jumps ship when a promotion comes available. "It's a business kid." but Gator fans should have no ill will toward a 17 yr old kid.
Doug January 8, 2013 At 9:38 am
I sort of doubt that 'Bama is lamenting the loss of this kid right now…
Gatormatic January 8, 2013 At 9:41 am
Hard to really say things like "I hope Muschamp doesn't shake his hand." Seems to me like Walker did the same thing Dante Fowler or Matt Elam did. There's a lot of people and forces pulling at these kids in different directions. If he doesn't want to play here, it's his loss. Go Gators!
Gator Todd January 8, 2013 At 9:50 am
Called it. Been saying this for the last two days.
Looks like Chandler Register is posting under the assumed name "Josh". :>)
Totally agree with Sean. Kids flip, but if it's a good reason for a kid to do that, then I get it. The ones who just to be prima donnas, that's another matter.
Walker obviously had a very close relationship with Pruitt and wanted to play for him. That said, he's now never going to have the chance to play in full stadiums and face the best competition week in and week out at FSU and in the ACC.
He'll be relegated to mostly noon-time starts against pathetic competition like BC, Duke, UVA, Wake, and others in that league.
Not to mention that FSU has a big drop-off next season and loses at least four games. Their defense will be pretty suspect at times IMO.
GaGator02 January 8, 2013 At 10:04 am
What happened?! Kid seemed set for Bama or UF. Is a coach really worth following to a school that wasn't considered late in the process? Was the high school coach up to something? Sometimes recruits pick schools for all the wrong reasons. I understand recruiting is about relationships and all but pick a place WHERE you feel comfortable not WHO you are close to because coaches come and go just like Pruitt left Bama.
pete January 8, 2013 At 10:12 am
interesting all the hate for this kid, its a bummer he's not comming but it cuts both ways…we just took the WR who did all the flipping and flopping and no one wrote about him being a prima dona? also Fowler went thru same thing last yr…he was all over the place before commiting for UF (thank gd!) but still these guys weren't too different from this kid…that's the way the ball bounces w/17-18yr olds…Go Gators
AtlantaGator January 8, 2013 At 10:42 am
The GOOD NEWS here is that he did not go to the EVIL EMPIRE of the WEST.
We really need to focus our bad Recruiting Karma on the E.E. I'm a 50+ years Gator diehard and know that when the Gators when an SEC division or conference title, they've really won SOMETHING. The evil Wizard to the West has a model for excellence that has raised the bar for coaching in the SEC. Coach Muschamp gets it and is well on the road to claiming championships for the Gators. Richt and the 'Ole Ball Coach' are right there two. But, that's good for the SEC and the Gators. It makes the Gators better and the best recruits want to play for the best teams in the best conference. GO GATORS FOREVER.
Ben January 8, 2013 At 10:47 am
Did Robinson really show up yet?
Delray Mike January 8, 2013 At 10:59 am
Let's keep this in perspective everybody. One guy does not make or break a recruiting class. This coaching staff has delivered a class thus far that is stellar, even if we don't get another commit between now and Feb. 6. This kid has to go where his heart is and I'd rather him go somewhere else than take up a scholly and eventually leave because he's not happy.
It makes me wince when I read about a 17 year old kid getting hate tweets from 'Bama fans (adults) because he flipped to FSU. I would like to think we are all above that kind of non-sense.
Josh January 8, 2013 At 11:47 am
Don't Think so Sean! BTW, what do you have against his kid, at least he is not a thug like most we had on the field in the SB?
Tampa Gator January 8, 2013 At 12:26 pm
What if Pruitt gets offered a DC position somewhere next year? Comfort/trust blanket gets pulled. I guess he then transfers to whereever Pruitt gets that DC position….
Cleveland Gator January 8, 2013 At 12:36 pm
To all of you bashers out there, lease realize you are grown adults bashing teenage kids who are trying to make one of the most importnt decisions of ther lives. just saying. . .
Baton Rouge Gator Fan January 8, 2013 At 12:39 pm
Thanks GBBOLT! But it pains me to see this. Why can't football take a cue from basketball & have an early signing period? This would more than eliminate all of this flip flopping crap & lock guys in to their so-called 'committments'. Bet you one thing-it would slow down or stop altogether these guys giving verbals & whatnot. The NCAA needs to allow early signing-what's the big deal? Start it for a minimum of 2-3 wks at the end of August/early September & then again in February. I know Fowler & Elam did it & I'm sure others will do the same. Just seems to make sense that this would alleviate anxiety amongst the young men, the coaches, and us fans. Looks like a win-win all the way around but wait-it's the NCAA were talking about here. Those same idiots that have approved a ludicrous, stupid 4 team, no changes allowed playoff for 12 freekin' years!! Should've been for 2 yrs., then change it to 8 teams after that. Way to roll the Irish, Tide. What a joke that game was. SEC rules. Go Gators!!!
Sean January 8, 2013 At 12:46 pm
Josh, Lighten up dude. It. Was. A. Joke.
Gator Todd January 8, 2013 At 1:16 pm
GaGator, Walker liked Pruitt at Bama and he followed him to FSU. That's what happened.
Disappointing, because it's going to be interesting watching Pruitt take over a defense when he has ZERO esxperience at the college level as a DC, and has only been at the college level for two years at Bama.
FSU's defense is going to take a major nose dive next year.
macjb January 8, 2013 At 7:31 pm
did all of you question d robinson's "loyalty' when he switched from clemson to uf ? do you care that your coach seems to be going after a LOT of commited players? we are gator fans,but let these players go where THEY want to go
CREEK GATOR January 8, 2013 At 7:59 pm
Agree with Gator Todd and Sean, These are kids and they have a difficult time making virtually a grown up decision. They show be allowed to change their minds, we don't know all the facts of factors that goes in to each decision. Most of you that are bashing the kid would have been singing his praises if he had chosen the GATORS. He would have been doing the same thing that you are bashing him for right now, he just picked another team. He still left a school that he had committed to earlier. If we (GATORS) are not the beneficiaries then decommitting is a sin (hypcritical don't you think)? GO GATORS!!!!
Josh, I really hope Chandler Register get a shot at some school because you have been pushing him all recruiting season. I would think if he was as good as YOU think he is someone on the coaches staff or even another poster would have raised his name or something. But I don't think just because you WANT to be a GATOR is the biggest qualification for a scholly. By the way, what qualifies a kid as a "THUG"? because all of the players we had at the SUGAR BOWL wanted to be a GATOR (at least at some point), so (and I dont know the kid) Chandler could be a "THUG" if you put out a blanket character qualifier as you did. I REALLY would like to know what makes a kid a "THUG" in your mind. GO GATORS!!!!

WillUrban SpurrierChamp January 8, 2013 At 8:44 pm
No mention of the Easley effect? If the kid doesn't want to compete then fsu is the place for him!
steveob January 8, 2013 At 8:46 pm
After reading the article his move doesn't sound surprising at all. It was about his relationship with Pruitt. That's a very common story in recruiting.
Real gator January 8, 2013 At 9:06 pm
Josh u should change ur name to chandler register if it isn't already
why do you ask,gator n nc? are you looking for one?

What Gatormatic said and add the Pouncy twins… good when we flop them best wishes when they flop. It is called CLASS what all Gators should strive for.When it comes to my Gators I am still called crass; but am only 1 letter away.

Gator N NC January 8, 2013 At 11:07 pm
Yep, I'm looking for trolls. What a stupid question. It just didn't sound like you were a real gator fan, so I was curious.
TigerCatZeroZero January 9, 2013 At 1:29 am
D. Walker's startling commitment to FSU – 'Something in the milk ain't clean!' Every kid second guesses their decision at some point; I can only imagine his will probably linger. We will get the right guy for us. POOR DISCIPLINE: I don't buy the 'thug' talk that people throw out so quickly when describing undisciplined play. When watching the games with my young sons I make a point to call out undisciplined play EVERY TIME I see it, whether it's a penalty, trash talking or overzealous individual celebrations! I also compare/contrast it to players and teams when they make great plays, or big hits and conduct themselves and show good sportsmanship. These kids we watch are still learning and many are doing what has been engraved/conditioned into them as 'how you do it' because they see so many others doing it that way. What they need to be taught is when you do something as violent as football, you should always respect your opponents for their courage to face you. THE FIX: In general, the media could help by airing more player/opponent interaction immediately after the games; especially the NFL where they stay on the field, talk, take pictures, exchange memorabilia, get one another's autographs, etc. As far as our team, Muschamp simply needs to delegate the responsibility to the position coaches – money motivates! Get in their pockets (add/subtract) and you'll get your desired outcome. How many times did we go backwards, out of scoring position, or kept the opponents offense drive going because of our undisciplined play? TOO MANY. Right now we've got a culture where our team leaders (some) are undisciplined. We've got to treat them or the infection spreads. STILL, these kids are far from thugs…thugs have 'better things' to do (in their minds) than to risk injury entertaining us while the university and locals makes all the money…nah, that ain't THUG LIFE.
macjb January 9, 2013 At 3:18 am
i'm curious also,gator n nc,what exactly IS a REAL gator fan? and,yes,i am a troll, but please don't hate
CREEK GATOR January 9, 2013 At 8:01 am
@ TigerCatZeroZero, That was beautiful, too many people throw around the words "THUG" and "HERO" with out thinking of the true since of the word. Unbridalled emotion does not make a kid a "THUG". I believe some of these same people that label these kids (unfairly) do SH.. that is far worst but they never see themselves as "THUGS" or worst. You have a very good post and I wish some of these "thug trowers" will get a chance to read AND absorb the message. GO GATORS!!!!
What I meant by saying the Word Thug comes from constantly playing the game to mame or hurt someone & that is what I saw in the SB. BTW, why did no one in the media post the question to Muschamp. For example, "Hey coach, it was obivious to most that YOU had NO control of your TEAM, WHAT GIVES? Over 100 yds in STUPID penalities, and no accountability of having these players JERKED off the field for DUMB no control actions! As far as Chandler Register goes, I knew we needed a WR/Playmaker and I liked him since I have seen his film. Oh well, if the Gators do not want him, so be it. I will not mention his name again. But to recruit a 5'11 receiver makes ZERO sense to me & please spare me the Harvin argument as this new kid is NO Harvin. Therefore, the rest of you sound like a bunch of PC Liberals by trying to make excuses for STUPID OUT OF CONTROL performance. Not me, I call it like I see it!
Delray Mike January 9, 2013 At 9:07 am
I agree with Josh, however, had we won no one would be talking about the behavior on the field. How many games did we win this year with at or around 10 penalties? I don't have the stat, just throwing it out there.
@Josh — I'm with you brother, but I don't recall such visceral e-mails from you during our 11 and 1 regular season. If you did point out this matter after a hard fought win…my apologies in advance.
By the way, I'm not getting on Josh's case, just pointing out the fact we have a little hypocrisy coursing through our orange and blue veins. Especially me 🙂
GaToRcHomP January 9, 2013 At 3:12 pm
Great Points @TCZZ and @Josh,
As far as us recruiting a 5'8 or 5'10 receiver, Ike Hilliard, Jacquez Green, Riedel Anthony, and Travis McGriff off the top of my head all played Great at their height, and were around that size.
It's never been about the size of the gator in the fight,
it's always been about the size of fight in the gator.
Most of our receivers now would pan out fine if they got some more fight in them.
GO GATORS!
GAGators, of those three recruits you mentioned, Adams is probably our best bet.
And don;t be surprised if we still sway Clark to our class too. He aint afraid of competition. Interesting too that there was an article here a few weeks ago about "UF losing out to Clemson in recruitins", but Clemson lost Robsinson to Uf and their other big-time WR prospect to Tennessee!

I've always been interested in the question, 'Why is there something rather than nothing?' I remember walking to school trying to imagine nothing: no planets, stars, or galaxies. (I'd seen these in an astronomy book and was inconsolable when the same book told me that the sun would one day engulf Earth). All I could think of was blackness, but I realised there would be no colour black so I imagined total blankness in white. Then I realised there would be no white either. Totally flummoxed, I gave up.
Perhaps the hardest thing to realise is there would be no observer. Every now and then, that question returns. I now think the question itself is part of the problem. We're clearly confused about what 'nothing' is. We can't even imagine it, let alone experience it, or measure it. One way of rethinking 'nothing' would be to see it as an extreme position on a spectrum, and give up the dualistic idea of something/nothing. Everything is marked by constant change: what we think of as void is teeming with possibility. Perhaps nothingness is nothing more than absolute potential.

Application. Designed for the 1987 to 1993 coupe and hatchback Mustangs these replacement OPR door panels install in place of the stock ones. Just transfer over our existing armrests and door handles for a perfect restoration.
Do you have color options?
As of now, these door panels are coming in the standard black finish with no current color options available.
Will it fit for a 1988 LX Hatch with manual windows with a little modification? Or will they make them in the future with manual windows?
Hello! While these OPR Titanium Gray Door Panels w/ Power Windows & Carpeting are meant for power windows, they could most likely be modified to fit a manual window crank if desired.
Will these fit a 86 notch? If not where could I find them. Thanks!!
no they will not I would recommend checking on google for different venues.
Do the door panels come with the armrest plastics and arm pad or just the pre-cut out spots for them.
The Door Panels will just come with the panels for the doors and not include the armrest plastics or the arm pad.
do you all have door panels like these to fit a 89 gt convetable?
Unfortunately we only carry door panels like these one for the 1987-1993 coupe.
fits 1987-1989 Convertibles with the mirror mounted next to the glass. These will not fit convertibles with the mirror mounted down below the glass on the door skin.
The Black Door Panels w/ Power Windows & Carpeting are not a direct fit for a convertible Mustang.
These door panels immediately change the appearance of your ride!
These door panels showed up nicely packaged and fitment was great for my project. Didn't run into any weird problems compared to some other aftermarket parts I've been using. Now I don't have to worry about the ugly looking map holder that was falling off my old door panel! I thought it looked awesome!
Love the way these door panels freshened up the appearance of the interior of my LX! No more cracks above the interior door handles and,most important,no more saggy map pockets!! You won't regret this upgrade to your interior!
I recently purchased the black carpeted door panels for my 88 gt. The panels arrived well packaged and in great shape. Install time will very depending on your skill level especially when cutting the vinyl for your arm rest and door handles. Quality of the panel is as good or better then the original. Its an investment I'm glad I made.
Installation was no problem. I was looking for more quality looking panels, could see the black staples around carpet area, and the leather around the door lock had a small tear. As well as the metal hole cover on top the door lock was not installed properly.
Everything about them is good! The driver side however didn't go all the way down near the lock on the end of the door... Pasenger side was good though.
The panel fit my car well. The middle portion was carpet, and my old door panel had a crushed velour middle, carpet on the bottom. I wish that you could purchase just 1 panel because that is all I needed. I will have another one for the future if my passenger panel comes apart.
The only trouble i had was figuring out exactly where to make the cuts. It took about an hour to complete the first door and the other took les than 15 minutes. Looks great!
I bought this door panel because like all Fox body door panels, the pockets get loose and look really ugly. I preferred this type of panels because it does not have those ugly pockets and give it a much cleaner looks. It took me a whole day to do because I didn't want to rush it and wanted to take my time to make sure I do it right. It really wasn't that hard, I just made sure I had a very sharp exacto knife. If you have patience and make sure you do it right then you will be happy in the end.
Great replacement door panels. Install wasn't too bad, you will have to cut out for the door handles and armrest.
These door panels worked great.
These door panels came nicely packed with all new plastic mounting body clips. That worked out great since I was missing some. The panels require cutting out the holes for the handles and armrest, but this is fairly easy to do with a good sharp razor knife. once the cuttiing is done, they just pop on and your done. I had no problem with fitment or alignment. Be careful how you tighten down the arm rests as the material may buckle a little, depending on how you cut the holes. This happened to me, and it was easy to loosen the arm rest and then push the material flat and re-tighten.

What is a Boston Cooler?
With all the hype surrounding Halo Burger's free Boston Cooler giveaway, I wanted to know more about this tasty treat. Much to my surprise, it has nothing to do with Boston, Massachusetts whatsoever. In fact, most people that live in Boston have never heard of it.
Created by Fred Sanders in the 1880's using vanilla ice cream and James Vernor's 1866 creation, Vernors Ginger Ale, the Boston Cooler was born in Detroit. One theory suggests that it was named after the city's Boston Boulevard, but that street didn't exist until 1981. To this day, the origin of the name still remains a mystery.
If you've never had the pleasure of enjoying an ice-cold Boston Cooler, now is your chance to try one for free! Text "HALO" to 88460 to receive a free small Boston Cooler from Halo Burger. But do it now because this offer ends on September 30th. Treat yourself to two Michigan originals at the same time!

Wealth Inequality in the United States
The United States exhibits wider disparities of wealth between rich and poor than any other major developed nation.
Inequality & the Care Economy
We equate wealth with "net worth," the sum total of your assets minus liabilities. Assets can include everything from an owned personal residence and cash in savings accounts to investments in stocks and bonds, real estate, and retirement accounts. Liabilities cover what a household owes: a car loan, credit card balance, student loan, mortgage, or any other bill yet to be paid. In the United States, wealth inequality runs even more pronounced than income inequality.
The Richest Americans
Household Wealth
The Racial Wealth Divide
As ordinary people around the world suffer from the health and economic impacts of the pandemic, billionaires have actually seen their fortunes expand. According to Institute for Policy Studies analysis of Forbes data, the combined wealth of all U.S. billionaires increased by $2.071 trillion (70.3 percent) between March 18, 2020 and Ocobter 15, 2021, from approximately $2.947 trillion to $5.019 trillion. Of the more than 700 U.S. billionaires, the richest five (Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, and Elon Musk) saw an 123 percent increase in their combined wealth during this period, from $349 billion to $779 billion. We will be regularly updating this analysis here.
The most visible indicator of wealth inequality in America today may be the Forbes magazine list of the nation's 400 richest. In 2018, the three men at the top of that list — Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and investor Warren Buffett — held combined fortunes worth more than the total wealth of the poorest half of Americans. You can find more background on these numbers in our report, Billionaire Bonanza 2020.
In 1982, the "poorest" American listed on the first annual Forbes magazine list of America's richest 400 had a net worth of $210 million in today's dollars. The average member of that first list had a net worth of $600 million. In 2020, rich Americans needed net worth of $2.1 billion to enter the Forbes 400, and the average member held a net $8 billion, over 13 times the 1982 average after adjusting for inflation.
Inequality is skyrocketing even within the Forbes 400 list of America's richest. As of 2019, the net worth of the richest member of this group was 21 times larger than the net worth of the richest member in 1982 (in today's dollars). Since 1982, just seven men have held this spot: shipping magnate Daniel Ludwig (1982), oil executive Gordon Getty (1983-1984), Walmart founder Sam Walton (1985-1988), media company owner John Kluge (1989-1991), Microsoft founder Bill Gates (1992-2017, except 1993), investor Warren Buffett (1993), and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (2018-2019).
According to IPS analysis of Saez and Zucman data, as America's richest .01 percent have accumulated more wealth, they have paid a smaller share of total U.S. taxes. In 2018, the tax share of the top .01 percent was close to what it was in 1953. By contrast, their share of the nation's wealth nearly quadrupled during that period, rising from 2.5 percent to 9.6 percent.
Over the past three decades, America's most affluent families have added to their net worth, while those on the bottom have dipped into "negative wealth," meaning the value of their debts exceeds the value of their assets, according to National Bureau of Economic Research data.
Over the past century, the National Bureau of Economic Research has found that the share of America's wealth held by the nation's wealthiest has changed markedly. That share peaked in the late 1920s, right before the Great Depression, then fell by more than half over the next three decades. But the equalizing trends of the mid 20th century have now been almost completely undone. At the top of the American economic summit, the richest of the nation's rich now hold as large a wealth share as they did in the 1920s.
The rich don't just have more wealth than everyone else. The bulk of their wealth comes from different — and more lucrative — asset sources, as the Federal Reserve's Distributional Financial Accounts data shows. America's top 1 percent, for instance, holds more than half the national wealth invested in stocks and mutual funds. Most of the wealth of Americans in the bottom 90 percent comes from their homes — the asset category that took the biggest hit during the Great Recession. These Americans also hold just around three-quarters of America's debt.
The median Black family, with just over $3,500, owns just 2 percent of the wealth of the nearly $147,000 the median White family owns, according to our "Racial Wealth Divide" report. The median Latino family, with just over $6,500, owns just 4 percent of the wealth of the median White family. Put differently, the median White family has 41 times more wealth than the median Black family and 22 times more wealth than the median Latino family.
Families that have zero or even "negative" wealth (meaning the value of their debts exceeds the value of their assets) live on the edge, just one minor economic setback away from tragedy. Institute for Policy Studies analysis of Federal Reserve data shows that while the racial wealth gap has improved slightly, an estimated 28 percent of Black households and 26 percent of Latinx households had zero or negative wealth in 2019, twice the level of whites.
As with total wealth, our report shows homeownership is heavily skewed towards White families. In 2016, 72 percent of White families owned their home, compared to just 44 percent of Black families. Between 1983 and 2016, Latino homeownership increased by a dramatic nearly 40 percent, but it remains far below the rate for Whites, at just 45 percent.

Amanda was born on 4/12/2004. She was a beautiful healthy baby with some minor issues (jaundice and colic). On Sept 28, 2004, while waiting at the bus stop for my son, I looked at her in the back seat and saw that she was having a seizure.
Her first seizure was probably between 30-45 minutes. Her next 2 seizures were about 4 and then 5 months after the first. Despite trying phenobarbital, trileptal, depakote and topomax, the seizures still persisted. She averaged 1-2 big seizures a month and after taking trileptal, she began having absence seizures daily. She's been on the ketogenic diet for over 3 years now.
Amanda went over 2 years without a major seizure. The third year was different, and she had several break through seizures, I think due to the introduction of Zarontin. There wasn't a problem until the doses got higher (then came nightmares, myoclonics in the morning and bigger seizures including a 24 minute t/c).
The tremendous news is she now attends a "regular" kindergarten as a regular ed kid. She has PT for balance and strength issues and a one-on-one aide for safety precautions and to help her with her diet. So far, she is doing just fine there and really enjoys being with the other kids.


A distributed energy resource (DER) is a small-scale unit of power generation that operates locally and is connected to a larger power grid at the distribution level. DERs include solar panels, small natural gas-fueled generators, electric vehicles and controllable loads, such as HVAC systems and electric water heaters. An important distinction of a DER is that the energy it produces is often consumed close to the source.
When using renewable power sources, the intermittent nature of some resources creates a need for using multiple renewable resources, as well as a means to tie them together, manage and store their output. Energy storage such as batteries and fly wheels are required for hardware such as wind and other turbine types, solar panels, and tidal generation units. In order to get the most of the energy produced, these power sources and storage devices need to be tightly managed by way of electronic management devices, which include inverters and software such as Storage Distributed Resource Schedulers (SDRS).
DERs are commonly used to manage a number of smaller power generation and storage methods in residential, commercial and industrial sectors.They may be used by utility providers, businesses and individuals in the production and storage of renewable power or for backup power sources. The technologies are fundamental requirements of more advanced power grids such as smart grids.
The inclusion of distributed energy resources into the grid has several benefits. Customers with DER assets can expect to pay less for electricity because they can sell power back to the grid.
In areas where there is a high reliance on wind, solar and other variable energy resources (VERs), distributed energy resources can be used to help improve quality of service and reliability of service.

Watch the first trailer for Chi-raq, Amazon's first original film
Source Variety
Nov 3, 2015, 7:57 PM UTC |
Amazon's first original film, Spike Lee's Chi-raq, is set to hit theaters in a month, so it's about time we saw a trailer. Here, we finally see Lee's vision of South Side Chicago come into focus. Inspired by the Greek comedy Lysistrata by Aristophanes, the film stars Dear White People star Teyonah Paris as Lysistrata, who engineers a plan to stop the violence in her city by having the women go on a sex strike. Joining her are Nick Cannon, Jennifer Hudson, Angela Bassett, and Samuel L. Jackson.
With a film like Chi-raq, it's clear that Amazon wants to make a big splash with its original film initiative. As it announced in January, the e-commerce company intends on ramping up its operation to make up to a dozen films a year. That's certainly ambitious, but Amazon isn't the only streaming company working on original films. Netflix only recently released Beasts of No Nation in theaters. If anything, things are only getting started. Chi-raq hits theaters on December 4th.

We would like to thank all people that make this tour in the North Italy so special. Our special thanks go to all the bands with whom we were honoured to play with, to the staff, to the photographers, to all people that travelled so far to see our live shows !!


Last week, a group of Texas State University, San Marcos students walked out of class after their Anthropology professor discussed Black Lives Matter and suggested (correctly) that everyone descends from Africa, as reported by The Tab. While there are some conflicting accounts about what transpired that day, namely from the professor himself, the accounts from students suggest that there was at least some pushback about the historical origins of the human race specifically because it meant that we all come from African Diasporic peoples.
As dialogue erupted on the matter via Twitter, one user asked why there would be any argument about this fact since it is clearly true, to which another user simply responded, "cause they're racist…?" And as I reflected on their response, I wished the answer was that simple. But it's not.
While the issue may seem trite, it points to a much deeper problem with addressing and teaching race in the United States. Too often, we forget that new millennials (I recently found out I am an "old" millennial), namely those who identify as White, rarely have to face the complexities of race in America. They are the most segregated educationally and residentially. They are just as racist as their parents. Frankly, given the stark separation many young White people experience from people of color, they have no real incentive to care about racial inequalities in the United States. It's just not something that affects their day-to-day lives. Thus, many of them simply opt-out of the conversation altogether.
This is what happened at Texas State last week. Some young White people, whether it was two or twenty of them, were confronted with the realities that Black people exist and are also worth investigating as citizens navigating the social landscape of the US who are, in fact, breathing.
It happens in classrooms, shopping malls, kitchens, and public spaces all over the country when White people – who have no incentive or desire to engage in critical dialogue or even simple historical discussion – are confronted with the fact that people of color, particularly Black people, actually exist and they have vastly different experiences with citizenship, survival, and prosperity in this country. Now, I am not suggesting that we should consume ourselves with the "blindspots" of the White Gaze. Nor do I think that we should take this example as an expository lesson for our own behavior. Rather, instances like these only further confirm the fact that as long as White people have the option to acknowledge and recognize the existence of Black people, they have no place in Black liberation.
Sure, this is racist. But, it is also part-and-parcel with a system of white supremacy that has heretofore run just as planned. This behavior is not errant, random, isolated or new. All that has changed about it is that we have smart phones to capture it for the rest of the world to witness.

Samsung Galaxy S11/Galaxy S20 official cases listed by UK retailer – Android Authority
Ice Universe
Now that we know the official launch date for the Samsung Galaxy S11 A.K.A the Galaxy S20 series, more details are emerging about the phones almost on a daily basis. The latest information comes from UK online retailer MobileFun. The outlet claims to have a list of all the official case options for the Galaxy S11/S20 trio of smartphones.
The three Samsung Galaxy S series models listed by MobileFun include: Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, and the Galaxy S20 Ultra.
While most official cases for the upcoming Galaxy flagships seem similar to those of the Galaxy S10 series, there are a few notable exceptions.
Looks like Samsung is making a new addition to its accessories lineup with cases made from Kvadrat. It is a tightly woven textile like the one found on Google's fabric cases for the Pixel phones. According to MobileFun, only the Galaxy S20 Ultra will get the Kvadrat case option. It will be made available in three colors —green, red, and gray.
Another noteworthy addition is that of new sky blue color cases. A sky blue render of the upcoming Galaxy Buds Plus was also leaked a few days back. This suggests that Samsung could introduce sky blue as a new colorway for its 2020 flagships.
Other color options for cases include: black, white, gray, pink, red, navy blue, and silver. You can view the full list of official Samsung Galaxy S11/Galaxy S20 cases here.
Pricing of the cases is also in line with last year's offerings. They range from £17.99 to £59.99 (~$22 to $77) for different models and colors.
Sadly, no images have been made available for any of the cases. Guess we'll only know more when Samsung announces the phones in February or if more leaks happen before that. We'll bet our money on the latter.

When Hindsight is 20/400, Ignore the Judgmental
Last year I became a driving teacher. Our family uses the popular Driver Ed in a Box method because graduates of this program have over 80% reduction in collisions. (Disclaimer: IF they follow the program. I made an error in teaching things out of order and you'll see below what happened to me....) After months of listening to audio, watching video, scanning the road for hazards, and practicing parking on hot summer afternoons, I started to see spots before my eyes. Spots of anxiety, of trying to prepare for any possible error, of worry that someone is going to back into my car. I'm endlessly afraid of a collision because as the teacher, I am responsible. But situations come up through the actions of other drivers, actions I can't control, and I still have to be the responsible adult.
Actually, this has been a fantastic experience. I've loved spending more time with my sister working as a team on something and it was amazing to see how much knowledge I had that I could pass on to her. Now you might wonder, if this was so great, WHY I was paranoid all the time. That's easy. 😊 It's because our second day together in the car, I introduced some material too early and soon we smashed through a pillar on the porch and bent the side of the lawnmower like a plastic plate. It's a good thing the lawnmower was there otherwise she would have driven through the house! That was a terrifying afternoon. We got very lucky, of course. The pillar was easily replaced and the lawnmower could be bent back into shape. The car was not damaged. This picture is of our driveway, the lawnmower (see on the right), and our neighbor's dogs who happen to be there. But I show you this picture because we didn't take one right after the collision. We were too busy and I was thinking "got to take responsibility for this" the whole time. But it made me a much better teacher in the end and I think a smarter person too.
Any of you ever tried to do something you haven't done before? New, for the first time? Learning or teaching can both be scary and nobody out there can say they nailed them right away. They might act like they were flawless. But actually they simply don't remember the past very clearly and are lumping their since acquired skills with the memories of first learning as if the two had existed side by side. There is a rule (always applied with a bit of a sarcastic smile) that hindsight is 20/20. But with every rule you'll find an exception and it's those who pretend they had no trouble along the journey. Their hindsight is frankly myopic and inaccurate. We all make mistakes starting out--especially if we are busy and juggling several things at once. And everyone I know is always proud to say they've been busy and have had too much going on.
This Merry Summertime was a charming example of a flop when I released it a couple of years ago. That was my fault since I was very busy when I published it--apparently too busy to notice what really links the book is not humor, but young women because it says so in the subtitle. It's "An Anthology Celebrating Family, Fantasy, and Young Women," not "A Collection of Satirical Short Stories." Like when I taught my sister driving techniques out of order though they were clearly delineated in front of me, I was just being stupid and I wrote a description for the book as a set of satires when that's not even what's in it. (The result of stress, is my theory. 2020 was a hard year.) True there is a lot of comedy in the book, but it only serves to lighten the mood around some pretty serious ideas. Each story features women and girls who dictate the plots even when the men and boys think they have all the power. Naturally, since 85% of the anthology deals with bygone eras of history. And with last Monday being Valentine's Day, it's neatly appropriate to talk selling points on a book that praises the power of women in their relationships, since every short in it has a romantic plot too. 😊
A book for princesses of every age . . .
Young or old, are you a Princess? Rich or poor, it doesn't matter at all. Powerful or commonplace, it isn't important. Girls are princesses and women are princesses at heart. This set of seven comedy stories about royals and royalty celebrates the princess in everyone. Here are the names of the protagonists—the very royal young ladies.
Meet Arangiphaten: A haughty Egyptian queen whose romance with a vampire puts a lot of teenagers into sometimes slapstick danger—and eventually love triumphs over all.
Meet Helena and Nora: Two ordinary young women who get tangled up in Shakespeare's magical world of romance—one as an actress playing Ophelia and one as a character in a comedy revision of All's Well That Ends Well.
Meet Ella: A Cinderella in a land filled with fairies who think they're better than people—until one of them takes a lot of interest in her.
Meet AnnaRuth and Everwynne: Teenage girls filled with all the angst and self-importance of growing up, as well as all its beauty.
Meet The Heroine: True to her name, a lovely young woman who comes like a princess to a befuddled western town and eventually restores it to sanity.
Light-hearted with just enough snark to be true to human nature, wit adds depth to these classic tales of love and friendship. In their families, their friendships, and their romances, girls bring a special touch to the world.
Quiet Sense of Completion
In the last few years, I've played a lot of handheld video games on my phone. They're easy, free, and some are quite addictive. I've tried collecting baby dragons, meandering through a Chinese imperial court, and crushing 157 levels of heart-shaped candies. Right now I am designing outfits in an Asian fashion game called Love Nikki: Dress-Up Queen and playing a Star Wars game with some competitive gameplay and acquisition of an assortment of characters from this sci-fi franchise. Galaxy of Heroes began as a way to introduce characters from every era of the Star Wars franchise, including the non-canonical (but extremely popular) Old Republic, as well as the controversial Prequel Era, the acclaimed Original (Imperial) Era, the new Sequel Era, and several successful TV series set in various periods. I learned about some of the characters in the SW Universe from playing this game, long before I actually saw the source material.
One of these characters was a villain named Cad Bane. He appeared in a handful of episodes in the Clone Wars TV series, which I didn't see when it first came out. I discovered this character had been an original concept from the first Star Wars movie in 1977, but never actually made it into the film. So he was recycled and popped up decades later on TV. He's based on western outlaw types and is a killer-for-hire with a huge cowboy hat. Really belongs with the "space western" angle of this franchise. But when the game developers started to use a new upgrade chip—called a "zeta" chip—they didn't apply one to Cad Bane. Zeta chips come with new abilities for the character and since zetas came years after the game started, a lot of the characters were reworked to include zetas. But not this guy, although he was very popular. When asked why this was, the developers just shrugged. They seemed lost for words. Why didn't Cad Bane get a "zeta" ability? Well—he just didn't. They simply couldn't think of any new abilities to give him.
As I've worked through my books, 4 of them went through mild to substantial rewrites. Palladia grew and grew and now it seems there's more to The Birthday Present as well. The long-forgotten MerrySummer stories suddenly popped back up too. And after linking Birthday Present into the Palladia timeline, the first place I looked, naturally, was Facets of Fantasy. Would it develop gaps in and connections in this way? And what about Ryan and Essie? But neither of them did. A long-running theme with both Facets and Ry/Es was that I always thought there was more to the story. For years I fiddled with little sequels to the Facets stories. Ry/Es ends on a note of possibility the children might return to Caricanus. But the only sequel that really went anywhere was the one for "The Trouble with Taranui," which eventually became City of the Invaders. The only link I was able to make between Facets and my other books was to tie it into Ry/Es—a tenuous thread that never quite fleshed-out fully, but that also did feel real and sincere. There IS something in common between these two books.
They are both fantasy set in outer space. The world of "Halogen Crossing" is so high-tech it could easily be set on a distant planet and not a fantasy world. "Jurant" is already set in outer space. I tied Renari in by having Ryan's long-lost twin—also an astronomy buff—tells the mythology of the planets she looks at, one of which is Renari. So Renari is a planet on which fantasy things happen, not a fantasy world. But after creating those linkages, the stories in Facets just closed over into their own dimension and Ryan and Essie drifted around them like a satellite. I couldn't connect or expand them any further and I couldn't write more stories to continue them.
I've felt this was problematic because I want to do an epic fantasy novel, preferably Christian speculative, and I would like it to sync into my already existing books rather than create an extraneous new world. But the worlds in Facets only seem to exist in these 3 stories. I can't seem to write more about them, though the promise is always looming like a fruit just out of reach. Ryan and Essie was written with a blatant idea of sequels in mind and its ancient mythology would be suited to the story I want to write next. But again, Ry/Es is complete. It ends where it does. Just like Palladia and Birthday Present started to expand, Facets and Ry/Es have contracted and become stable. They belong together. So when I do write that epic fantasy book, I'll have to find a way to develop the world that lines up with my other work, but doesn't include these two books. I'm sure I will, though, when the time comes. Coming up with ways to get stories written is what authors DO.

Halfway through the 4th Palladia book, I took a break to go back into Celestine Princess and start some minimal editing--finding some overly long paragraphs to be trimmed and some dialogue to be clarified. All basic stuff for a second look at a book before getting it on to the next phase. The more I write Palladia books, the more of them keep coming. It seems there's always more to the story when it comes to this projection of the future 300 years from now. And over time, the "always more we need to explore" aspect has spread beyond Palladia into my other sci-fi and fantasy work.
Aside from Ryan and Essie, my other SFF books are unrelated novella and novelette collections, since I got a lot of short fiction ideas early in my writing journey. That was all well and good until a small glitch between The Birthday Present and Palladia set up a domino effect. TBP had always been this individual futuristic story spinning on its own orbit. It had more links to the seemingly unrelated Millhaven Castle than to anything else and since it was out of print for years, there was even less reason to worry about it. But as Palladia grew and grew, I realized it was important that the timelines between these two visions of the future not clash.
It's fine for different authors to describe wildly different concepts of a future that's been invented for their fiction—one, for instance, shows the world as collapsing into dust-piles and nonstop thievery as a result of an ecological disaster, while another author instead shows the exact distance in the future (say, 100 years) as so high-tech that robots have replaced people and everyone is extraordinarily wealthy except for some unfortunate rebels that the robots don't like. But works by the SAME author should not contradict each other. Whatever history of a fantasy world or of the future you are constructing, it still has to be logical even if it's imaginary.
I'd already set The Birthday Present 1000 years in the future, long after Palladia. But if it was set 1000 years after our time, Aure would be ruling at the time of the Palladia stories and I've yet to write one where he's anywhere in sight. So instead, a marginal tweak of just a few numbers set The Birthday Present 1000 years after the time of Palladia—1300 after our time. Why does this matter? Well, once I made the change for the sake of consistency, I realized I needed to write more about this dimly seen farther future. Palladia has four books now to detail its era, but the TBP era has scant coverage. And, of course, I noticed another thing right away.
What happened in those 1000 years between Palladia and The Birthday Present/MC? So not only do we really need another book about the characters who appear in The Birthday Present so we can see more of the "Aure's Dominion" era, there are all sorts of gaps between the two eras. And yes, there now are two "eras" for a lengthy future scenario instead of a couple of unrelated sci-fi books because lining up them up also linked them by default. I will say I am very much looking forward to finding out if all of my sci-fi and fantasy books are going to reveal hidden cracks and gullies like this. 😊

Q: Append to a Solr Index This may be a trivial question but I am trying to append to an existing Solr index and seem to be overwriting what is there every time. I have two databases that I am getting data from and I can import data from each database individually but when I import data from one then immediately import data from the second one, the first is overwritten. I have two dataSources mapped in my db-config.xml file and I am using the standard Admin UI to run the import. My config file looks like this.
<dataConfig>
  <dataSource
    name="ds-1"
    type="JdbcDataSource"
    driver="Driver"
    url="jdbc_url1"
    user="user1"
    password="pass1"/>

<dataSource
    name="ds-2"
    type="JdbcDataSource"
    driver="Driver"
    url="jdbc_url2"
    user="user2"
    password="pass2"/>

   <document>

 <entity name="entity1" dataSource="ds-1" query="SELECT YYY  FROM TABLE">
      ...
    </entity>

 <entity name="entity2" dataSource="ds-2" query="SELECT ZZZ FROM TABLE">
      ...
    </entity>

  </document>
</dataConfig>

What can I do to prevent the original index from being overwritten. I want to incrementally add data from a variety of different sources all the time so having my indexs get wiped does me now good.

A: Your issue is that you are probably defining the key for your indexed documents to be the primary key id from the database and the values are overlapping. In order to prevent this, you will need to specify a unique id for Solr. Typically when I have run into this issue in the past, I have used a string field as the id field and append a character or two to the id from the database to make it unique. Example: items from Product Table would have ids like P1, P2, etc. and items from Orders Table would have ids like O1, O2, etc.
You should be able to use the Data Import Handler TemplateTransformer to help accomplish this for you.

Q: Python (communicating with Arduino) breaks after first line in 'if'-loop Currently I am using an Arduino in combination with Python. I am writing the Python code now and for an unknown reason it breaks halfway an if-loop. I think the reason might be the serial communication... I'll try to explain it with my code.
For easy reading: the parts of the code that are of interest are between rows of '====='. I put the rest of the code in for context.
Arduino Code
const int mPin      = 2;  // Pin attached to the Mark button
const int cPin      = 3;  // Pin attached to the Capture button
const int qPin      = 4;  // Pin attached to the Quit button
const int solAPin   = 6;  // Solenoid logic pin A - RELEASE PIN
const int solBPin   = 7;  // Solenoid logic pin B - CLOSE PIN
const int ledPin    = 13; // Onboard LED

boolean lastmButton  = 0;
boolean currmButton  = 0;
boolean lastcButton  = 0;
boolean currcButton  = 0;
boolean lastqButton  = 0;
boolean currqButton  = 0;

void setup() {
  // Initial code, run at startup
  pinMode(mPin, INPUT); // Reads button press
  pinMode(cPin, INPUT); // Reads button press
  pinMode(qPin, INPUT); // Reads button press
  pinMode(solAPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(solBPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);

  digitalWrite(solAPin, LOW);
  digitalWrite(solBPin, LOW);
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);

  Serial.begin(9600); // Open Python communication line
}

boolean debounce(boolean last, int Pin) {
  boolean current = digitalRead(Pin);
  if (last != current)
  {
    delay(5);
    current = digitalRead(Pin);
  }
  return current;
}

void loop() {
  // Main code, continious loop
  currmButton = debounce(lastmButton, mPin);
  currcButton = debounce(lastcButton, cPin);
  currqButton = debounce(lastqButton, qPin);
  // ===========================================================
  if (currmButton == HIGH && lastmButton == LOW) {
    mark();
  }
  if (currcButton == HIGH && lastcButton == LOW) {
    Serial.print("C");
  }
  if (currqButton == HIGH && lastqButton == LOW) {
    Serial.print("Q");
  }
  lastmButton = currmButton;
  lastcButton = currcButton;
  lastqButton = currqButton;
}
//==============================================================

void mark() {
  digitalWrite(solBPin, HIGH); // Close Pin, pencil moves down
  delay(300);
  digitalWrite(solBPin, LOW);
  digitalWrite(solAPin, HIGH);  // Release Pin
  delay(100);
  digitalWrite(solAPin, LOW);   // Neutral
  Serial.print("M");
}

The debounce-code is not optimal, but it works for now. As you can see; the Arduino writes M/C/Q to Python when respectively the M/C/Q buttons is pressed. This all works fine.
Now the problem:
Python Code
if (__name__ == '__main__' and fail == False):
# Create directory
    print("Startup")
    index = 1   # Image counter
    if os.path.exists(image_path) == False:
        os.makedirs(image_path)

# Find the Arduino Port
    try:
        portname = ""
        ports = list(serial.tools.list_ports.comports())
        for p in ports:
            if "Arduino" in p[1]:
                portname = p[0]
                break
        print("Arduino found on " + portname)
    except:
        print("Setup failed:\n  Arduino not found")
        fail = True

# Open Arduino serial communication
    try:
        arduino = serial.Serial(portname, baudrate=9600, timeout=1)
        arduino.close()
        arduino.open()
        print("Arduino Connected")
    except serial.SerialException:
        print("Setup failed:\n  Could not connect to Arduino")
        fail = True

# Find and open the camera stream
    try:
        for i in range (10):
            cap = cv2.VideoCapture(i)
            if (cap.read()):
                if cap.isOpened() == False:
                    cap.open()
                break
        print("Camera Connected\n")
    except:
        print("Setup failed:\n  Camera not found")
        fail = True

#%%# MAIN LOOP
#====================================================================

    while True:

        k = arduino.readline()
        if   k == 'M': # Mark & capture
            print('Arduino: Marked')
            print ("Python Captured\n")
        elif k == 'C':# Capture
            print "Arduino: Python, capture this dot please" # This line is executed when K == C (button pressed on Arduino)
            print "Python: Captured!\n" # This line is not executed directly afterwards, but appears together with the line above when the button is pressed for the SECOND time!

        elif k == 'Q': # Quit
            print "Arduino: Quit the program"
            break
#=====================================================================

When running the Python code, the Arduino connection is set up. When one of the buttons is pressed, the Arduino sends the correct signal to Python, so far so good. But: only the first row of the if-loop is executed. The remaining rows are executed when the button is pressed for the second time, followed by the first row again (since the button is pressed for a second time).
For instance, running the code and pressing 'C' twice results in the following console output:
Startup
Arduino found on COM4
Arduino Connected
Camera Connected
[button C is pressed for first time]

Arduino: Python, capture this dot please
[buttong C is pressed for second time]
Python: Captured!

Arduino: Python, capture this dot please

What I've tried so far:

*

*Placing delays in the Arduino code

*Placing 'Serial.flush()' in the Arduino code

*Adjusting the way the info is printed, different quotes/brackets etc.

So this is where I'm stuck and I don't really know where to look for the bug. If any extra information is necessary, I'm happy to provide it. I hope someone here can help me!
EDIT:
As I mentioned in the comments, placing a print-command in the while loop magically fixes the issue:
k = arduino.readline()
print k
if   k == 'M': # Mark & capture

But why this resolves the issue is still unclear to me.
Thanks in advance,
Stijn

Food waste ban: Concern raised over cost
By Allison DeAngelis
Daily News Correspondent
Brendan Ryan has $2.50 to spend on lunch for each of the 8,200 students in the Framingham school district. Droughts and other adverse farming conditions across the country have made fruits and vegetables more expensive and making meals more difficult.
So the possibility of an added cost from the state�s new food waste ban was not welcome news to the director of Framingham Public Schools Food Services.
"It drives me nuts that you have some theorist at the Statehouse deciding to do this with no comprehension of what the impact is to frontline operators," he said.
On Jan. 31, the Patrick administration announced the final regulations for a statewide ban on the dumping of food waste that will affect approximately 1,700 supermarkets, colleges, hotels, convention centers, hospitals, food service and processing companies.
Under the ban, any business or institution that disposes of at least one ton of organic material per week will be required to donate or re-purpose the useable food and dispose of the rest through composting or at an anaerobic digestion facility that produces biogas from organic material.
But Ryan and other food service officials say they are unsure how and at what cost the new regulation will affect them.
The state will make determinations on who must comply based on the amount of food waste disposed at individual locations, according to Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Ed Coletta.
That means a single school that falls below the one-ton limit�won't be subject to the ban. But, elementary, middle and high schools sharing a campus, or a large food provider could be required to comply.
Whitsons Culinary Group, which services the Hopkinton Public Schools and the Attleboro, Hudson, Newton, and Wellesley school districts, said it is too early to tell how the ban will affect its operations.
"We think the smaller districts probably won�t be affected, but larger ones may have to comply," said spokeswoman Sonia Garrido.
Some businesses will be covered by current composting plans, such as Framingham State University, which processes 17,000 gallons of food waste per year onsite.
Because of their size, smaller schools such as Massachusetts Bay Community College fall under the one-ton category, which means Mass. Bay�won't have�to change its food disposal methods at its Ashland, Framingham and Wellesley campuses.
While the state will provide consulting services through the organization RecyclingWorks and offer low-interest loans, the cost of waste disposal will fall on the organizations.
"The cost would be on the business or entity, that�s true. But, we have done some analysis, and we think that bringing it to composting will be less than the normal amount they�re paying now [to dispose of food waste]," said Coletta.
Typically, organizations pay between $70 and $90 a ton to dispose of food waste, said Coletta. Through a voluntary program with 300 supermarkets across the state, the�DEP�found that composting saved individual businesses up to $20,000 a year in some cases.
But Ryan said he is worried the cost would fall on the school and town governments.
"We�re barely getting by � we�re getting bombarded on every avenue on cost," he said.
The�DEP and RecyclingWorks will be reaching out to the impacted institutions within the next couple of months. The ban will take effect on Oct. 1.

DIS-200, przewidywane oznaczenie seryjne MiG-5 (ros.: Дальний истребитель сопровождения – "długodystansowy myśliwiec eskortowy") – prototyp radzieckiego samolotu myśliwskiego z okresu II wojny światowej, skonstruowany w biurze MiG. W planach były również wersje zwiadowcze i bombowe, ale planów tych nigdy nie urzeczywistniono. DIS był jednomiejscową, dwusilnikową maszyną o mieszanej konstrukcji. Zbudowane zostały tylko dwa egzemplarze.

Pierwszy projekt, któremu biuro konstrukcyjne nadało oznaczenie T, był napędzany silnikami Mikulin AM-37. Pierwszy lot odbył się w maju 1941. Samolot pozytywnie przeszedł testy w locie. Druga maszyna, IT, miała silniki Szwiecow M-82F i została ukończona w październiku 1942 roku, ale nie ukończyła lotów testowych przed anulowaniem projektu. Pomimo tego że oba projekty dobrze się prezentowały, NKAP uznał, że możliwości i parametry samolotu są zbyt podobne do tych jakie osiągał Pe-2, który już był w produkcji.

Oznaczenie MiG-5 było zarezerwowane dla tego samolotu, ale w końcu nigdy nie zostało użyte. To samo oznaczenie jest czasami błędnie stosowane w stosunku do MiGa I-211, zupełnie nie powiązanego z DIS prototypu samolotu opartego MiGa-3.

Pozostałe parametry
 Obciążenie powierzchni – 196 kg/m²
 Stosunek mocy do masy – 0.27 kW/kg

Something I did as a proof of concept for how A2/A3 grenades could be improved.
When I first saw that 'Infiltration' video concerning about grenades a while back, I actually tried to find a video of you criticizing ARMA 2's implemented system of user grenade throws. I knew you didn't like it anyways, since you would talk about it sometimes in spectator and articles–but I was surprised you didn't make this video sooner. Glad that you were able to get this up though, in hopes of Bohemia revising it in A3.
Also, how common do ST members kill their self with grenades? Are pFNG death rates somewhat higher in comparison?


There are multiple different types of file systems a hard drive or removable media can be formatted. But which format is the best choice to use? It depends on the situation.our Windows system partition must be NTFS. If you have a secondary drive alongside Windows and you plan on installing programs to it, you should probably go ahead and make it NTFS, too.
NTFS is the modern file system Windows likes to use. When you install Windows, it formats your system drive with the NTFS file system. NTFS has file size and partition size limits that are so theoretically huge you won't run up against them. NTFS first appeared in consumer versions of Windows with Windows XP.
exFAT – exFAT is a propitiatory file system created by Microsoft for flash drives in situations where NTFS is not feasible due to its data structure overhead or file size limit of FAT 32. exFAT brings to max to 512 TiB, allowing files to be bigger than 4GB, and more features not in FAT formatted drives.
It also increases the speed with which those files can be accessed. The exFAT file system not only facilitates large files for use of audiovisual media, it enables seamless data portability and an easy interchange between desktop PCs and a variety of electronic devices. A number of companies have integrated the file system into devices such as mobile phones, PCs, and cameras.

Tip: Understanding Rank
When you do a search, you can sort the results bibliographically alphabetical or by "rank". What is Rank?
Rank refers to the search engine's "best guess" as to the relevance of the result to the search you specified. The exact method of ranking used varies a bit depending on the search. In its most basic level, when you specify a single search term, rank looks at the density of the matches for the word in the document, and how close to the beginning of the document they appear as a measure of importance to the paper's topic. The documents with the most matches and where the term is deemed to have the most importance, have the highest "relevance" and are ranked first (presented first).
When you specify more than one term to appear anywhere in the article, the method is similar, but the search engine looks at how many of those terms appear, and how close together they appear, how close to the beginning of the document, and can even take into account the relative rarity of the search terms and their density in the retrieved file, where infrequent terms count more heavily than common terms.
To see a simple example of this, search for the words (not the phrase, so no quotes):
unconscious communications
Look at the density of matches in each document on the first page of the hits. Then go to the last page of matched documents, and observe the density of matches within the documents.
A more complex search illustrates this nicely with a single page and only 15 matches:
counter*tr* w/25 "liv* out" w/25 enact*
There are a lot of word forms and variants of the words (due to the * wildcards) above that can match, but the proximity (w/25) clause limits the potential for matching. What's interesting here though is how easily you can see the match density decrease as you view down the short list.
The end result of selecting order by rank is that the search engine's best "guess" as to which articles are more relevant appear higher on the list than less relevant articles.

Contemporary Practice Patterns of Dynamic Psychiatrists—Survey Results
César A. Alfonso, M.D. and Silvia W. Olarte, M.D.
The authors examine the practice characteristics of dynamic psychiatrists, including the combined use of medication and psychotherapy, and adherence by self-report to psychodynamic, supportive, and cognitive behavioral therapy theoretical principles and techniques. Method: Survey of 555 members of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis and Dynamic Psychiatry conducted in 2009. Results: 24.1% response rate; 75% of respondents were between 61 and 80 years old, 61% had over 30 years of experience; 89% have a private practice but work on an average of 1.6 settings; 39% teach. Most respondents treat patients with complex comorbidities; 92.6% prescribe psychotropic medication. The preferred mode of practice is individual psychotherapy and the preferred frequency once a week; 94.5% of sessions are 45-60 minutes. Using Plakun's Y-model framework, psychoanalysts and dynamic psychiatrist subgroups equally support all core psychotherapy and psychodynamic features, with lesser emphasis but substantial endorsement of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy features. Conclusions: Dynamic psychiatrists are committed to see most patients once a week for 45-60 minute sessions and use a variety of conceptual frameworks to guide their treatment plans. They endorse supportive and psychodynamic practice elements more than cognitive-behavioral principles.

Book Review: Time Release
Gerald O'Malley, DO, FACEP
Since this review is being posted on Christmas Eve, I thought I'd give all of you an early Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus present and introduce you to one of the best, if unknown, little books out there.
Way back in 1988 or 1989 I was traveling back from Asia and I found myself with a few hours to kill in one of the crappy little airports I often find myself in. So I wandered into the newsstand and there was one of those old-fashioned turnstile-type bookstands that sold comic books and paperbacks and creaked really loudly when it was spun around.
From that bookrack I picked up a copy of TIME RELEASE by Martin J. Smith and I think I finished the whole novel before my flight touched down back in the States. This is one of the most creative and imaginative and terrifying novels you will ever read.
It's a crime/detective story involving a serial killer running around Pittsburgh murdering people but the really creepy, twisted, creative thing about this book is the killer's modus operandi. Product tampering.
The author describes in explicit detail how his villain targets random strangers and kills them by sabotaging everyday items like breakfast cereal and yogurt and over-the-counter pain relievers, fresh fruit and shampoo with potassium cyanide, strychnine, battery acid and other poisons.
The detectives enlist the aid of a psychologist whose household eventually becomes a target for the killer, turning the simple act of taking a shower or brewing a cup of coffee into a cat-and-mouse game with a wrong decision possibly leading to death or other horrible consequences.
The battles of wits builds with a sense of dread and impending horror at how the inventive killer will poison his victims and elude capture and how the psychologist and the detectives and other good guys will unravel the killers identity and location before many more innocent people are injured or killed by this unusual and brilliant psychopath.
It's a crackling good story and the author clearly knows Pittsburgh - its unique neighborhoods and personality of the various ethnic enclaves - and that setting lends a sense of realism and immediacy to the narrative.
TIME RELEASE gets an A+ for effort and an A for scientific accuracy - the author really did his homework with getting the detailed explanations of the poisons and their effects correct. And you don't have to go to an airport in Manila to get TIME RELEASE - it's available on Amazon. Martin J. Smith has published several novels and I've read two of them but neither is as good as TIME RELEASE. Merry Christmas!

Doing What Moms Do
My mom drove me nuts, but that's what moms do, right?
She was my teacher in elementary school, so I couldn't get away with anything. She knew my homework, she knew the phone numbers of every teacher in the school, hell, she INVITED the other teachers over to our HOUSE! Drove me nuts.
In 1976 she and my dad bought a house in the country, an old, dilapidated, smelly, isolated house in the country. No drugstore on the corner, no library across the street, no friends within walking or even cycling distance. Instead we worked to renovate that house, plant gardens, clean up the debris from the previous owners. The photo above is from this era, right after we moved in. Don't we look like disadvantaged waifs in some tenement? Okay, waifs with fabulous 70's hair, but still. Drove me NUTS.
One of my chores as a kid was cleaning the kitchen, loading the dishwasher, wiping the counters and so on. Naturally, I could not be expected to do this directly after mealtimes; there were books to read, games to play, and Hogan's Heroes wasn't going to watch ITSELF, right? My mother had different ideas and would call me to my task. But she wouldn't just yell "Jeb! Sean! Clean the kitchen!" Instead, she would call out three syllables that were a bastardization of the word kitchen, as if spoken with a French accent but then drawn out into a sing-song: "KIT--SEE--OWN!!" I hated that word. It. Drove. Me. Fucking. NUTS!!!
She never slowed her mind long enough for her mouth to catch up, so she often spooned in spokerisms. Once she pointed at a songbird, rare in our area, that sported red wings on its black body. "Look!" she exclaimed. "It's a rat-wing bedbird!"
Everything was a "sign" to my mom. Any time she saw a robin, it was "the first robin of spring", even if it was September. She could never get the names of me and my brothers correct on the first try. Any time she rode in the car while I was driving, she would flinch and gasp at every movement ahead of us--even if it was a leaf blowing in front of the car.
But that's what moms do, right?
God knows what she would have made of today's world. Would she have become one of those Facebook moms who constantly forwards glurge and urban legends? What would she have done with Twitter? She could barely handle a VCR; I can't imagine her navigating an iPhone. More importantly, what would my life, and the lives of my children, have been like if she was still around? Would she still be driving me nuts?
I'll never know. Mom died in 1995, ten years after first being diagnosed with breast cancer. Maybe if it had been found sooner, maybe if today's treatments had been around, maybe maybe maybe. What happened was, she worked as hard at life as she did at anything she loved and crammed a lot of it into those ten years. If she were still alive, she would be doing the same thing--living, working, enjoying herself and her family. Driving us all nuts.
Because that's what my mom did.
