But perhaps it's the surprising quality of these pictures that has made the 49th Chicago International Film Festival the best one I've attended yet. Unlike dismal openers like 2012's Stand-Up Guys or 2011's The Last Rites of Joe May, James Gray's The Immigrant served as one of the most challenging and compelling pieces of cinema this year, revitalizing the festival as the auteurist vehicle that it was founded on. Nebraska and Inside Llewyn Davis were no different, reaching a compromise between the festival's commercial requirements and critical potency.
Beyond the veneer of the festival's Oscar pedigree, it offered an eclectic bounty of challenging foreign and documentary films, along with an unusually rich amount of B-movie type pictures. Films like Josh Waller's Raze, Dario Argento's Dracula 3D and John McNaughton's The Harvest all operated under the guise of B-movie principles, though to varying success. McNaughton's film, featuring Samantha Morton and Michael Shannon, was a particular find, highlighted by an incredible child performance from Natasha Calis. Without a release date, it's a film well worth keeping an eye on. Raze, picked up by IFC Midnight, will likely enjoy a measure of VOD success while Argento's return will satiate his vocal fanbase - even if it wasn't all too great a film.
The foreign offerings were a cascade of Cannes and Toronto holdovers, with buzzed pictures like Blue is the Warmest Color and Like Father Like Son worthy of their reputation. But smaller films, such as Katell Quillévéré's sophomore effort Suzanne and Guillaume Nicloux's The Nun, proved to be exemplary exercises in French filmmaking. While neither is likely to receive even limited distribution in the States, they were the sort of finds that made the festival experience so wholly memorable - the satisfaction of discovering new titles that haven't been properly assessed by those who have seen them before.
Two pictures that will be discussed at a later date and that I had a great affinity toward were Valeria Golino's Miele and Amat Escalante's Heli. From Italy and Mexico respectively, both pictures had been vetted by the Cannes crowd with Heli securing a Best Director prize. The win was unfortunately overshadowed by Blue is the Warmest Color's Palme d'Or win, but Heli serves as an important reminder of how impressive Mexico's recent output has been. Capturing the sort of noir-ish qualities that made something like Breaking Bad so compelling, Heli stands outright as one of the best Mexican production I've seen. Meanwhile, Golino's Miele barely made a splash at Cannes but registered as a spiritual successor and contemporary re-dusting of Krzysztof Kieslowski's Three Colors: Red. Serving as Golino's debut, the confidence exuded, both through her defined compositions and incredible use of music, shows incredible promise.
Unlike previous years, I attended a couple of the festival's numerous free panels. A panel involving Chicago-based critics such as Michael Phillips (Chicago Tribune), Ben Sachs (Chicago Reader), and Brian Tallerico (RogerEbert.com) offered great insight and discussion on the evolving shape of criticism itself - a festival highlight. A separate panel featuring John McNaughton and Ti West offered a frank discussion on the current state of horror filmmaking and the process of getting a film made. Often relegated to afternoon attractions, these intimate conversations with filmmakers, producers, and critics enhanced the festival environment and simply made for a more engrossing experience.
With the festival entering its 50th year, a true communal aura is felt throughout Chicago's cinephiles. A somber tone defined the start of the festival with so much talk circling around the loss of Roger Ebert. But as the festival progressed, the focus on shifted onto the films and filmmakers who made them. I've had more conversations with enthusiastic cinephiles over the past two weeks than I care to share. But that sort of conviction and ability to talk about cinema is what makes these festival environments so engaging. The 50th Chicago International Film Festival has a lot to live up after the success of this year.

One of two victims killed in South Los Angeles drive-by shooting is identified
By Melissa Etehad
Officials identified one of two men killed Saturday night during a drive-by shooting outside a liquor store in South Los Angeles.
The gunfire started about 8 p.m. Saturday in the 800 block of Vermont Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.
Two male victims went inside the liquor store and when they walked outside, three armed males got out of a dark-colored sedan and began shooting, Sheriff's Department officials said.
During the shooting, 23-year-old Juan Lopez was struck in the torso and died at the scene.
The second victim was a bystander who was shot and transferred to a local hospital. He later died from his injuries, officials said.
Four other people were injured during the shooting, including a 45-year-old male who was wounded in the leg and transferred to a local hospital as well as a 49-year-old male who suffered a grazing wound and declined treatment.
After the incident, Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said the suspects entered their vehicle and drove south on Vermont Avenue.
The motive for the shooting remains unclear and officials are asking anyone with information to contact the L.A. County Sheriff's Department's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500

Aqua Energizer Game : AwfulGames -- Awesome Online Games, Awful Humor and Really Fun Stuff. Despite the Name, No Awful Games!
In this game, you're trapped in a world of increasingly difficult puzzles. You must energize the transporters by putting the red balls into them. Keep in mind that you'll need all of the red balls to energize each transporter; if you destroy one (or destroy some other essential key to the puzzle), you can commit suicide to start over. Another thing to keep in mind is that you've only got a limited amount of air, so think fast!

Democratic political strategist Donna Brazile gave a lecture titled "Political Outlook: A Comprehensive Picture of What's Going On in Washington" in Morrell Lounge on Wednesday. "I have to give Mr. Trump his just due. He has energized people of all political beliefs who cherish our shared values in ways that others have not. Do not think the so-called resistance is going away. Every time Trump tweets or speaks they receive a fresh shot of adrenaline," Brazile said.
Brazile encouraged students to engage with politics and consider running for office. "You can't just complain my young friends, you have to get involved. And you have to stay engaged," she said.
Brazile encouraged students to engage with the other side in a peaceful and respectful manner. "We need to withdraw from the impulse to be uncivil. There is no profit in demonizing those you we disagree with," she said.
Osa Omoregie '18 asks Brazile a question.
Brazile called for a full investigation into the results of the 2016 election. "Let me warn you, I can only give you an inkling of what's going on in Washington D.C. If you want the full story, we're going to have to support, and you're going to have to support, a bipartisan independent commission that will get to the facts of what happened in our 2016 election," she said.

Carriers flatly reject the notion of installing antitheft software onto phones, a move that would allow customers to deactivate their phones immediately when stolen. San Francisco's district attorney, George Gascón, telling the New York Times the obvious, says he thinks the carriers are loath to give up the profits they make off insurance programs that consumers purchase to cover lost or stolen phones. Legislators are still trying to determine what action to take.
Turning Bain Capital Ventures Into a West Coast Player
Salil Deshpande, who spent seven years as a venture investor with Bay Partners, joined Bain Capital Ventures in March of this year, and he's been working hard ever since. Deshpande is hoping to replicate his successful track record, with hits that include early investments in Buddy Media (acquired by Salesforce.com last year for $689 million) and the peer-to-peer lender LendingClub (now valued at more than $1.5 billion). Working alongside Bain's one other West Coast managing director, Ajay Agarwal, in the firm's Palo Alto office, Deshpande also wants to help Bain establish a stronger presence on the West Coast venture capital scene. I met recently with Deshpande to see how it's going. Our conversation has been edited for length.
How active is Bain Capital Ventures, and what size bets are you making?
We've been very prolific; we've closed five deals in the last three months that haven't been announced. We've announced a dozen others, including Aria Systems, a company that lets companies do recurring revenue management. We just led a $40 million round in the company.
As for range, our smallest investment has been $250,000 and our largest has been $55 million in one company.
How much are you investing, and how many partners does Bain Capital Ventures have altogether?
We're currently investing out of a $660 million fund raised in 2012. We raise a new fund every two-and-a-half years or so, so the pace of investing is high. We have nine managing directors: two here, six in Boston, and one in New York.
Do the nine of you have to agree on every deal?
First, we classify deals as early or growth. With growth deals, everyone who wants to come and do the work is invited. When it comes to early-stage deals, there are just five managing directors [who decide whether or not to move forward]. And the managing director who is sponsoring the deal decides on who the four other people will be.
Don't partners then choose only those individuals who they think will support a deal?
Not necessarily. I always pick partners who will be critical and have the most knowledge and understanding about the deal. I don't want to do bad deals. And these are some of the smartest guys I've worked with.
Is it hard, trying to establish Bain as a venture entity in this crowded, West Coast market?
There are pros and cons. Bain is a very strong, positive brand. It stands for private equity, large deals, buyouts. It stands for discipline, thoroughness, thoughtfulness, [and] being data-driven. We're also known for philanthropy work in the Boston community.
The challenge is that the brand stands for something that doesn't correspond exactly with what we're trying to do [out] here, where you have to be a little faster [and] a little more responsive to the market. But the nice thing is that things are really working out here, so the brand will catch up.
Do local entrepreneurs understand that Bain Capital Ventures is a venture firm and not a unit of Bain Capital?
This market hasn't been educated on a couple of things. First, that we exist. [Laughs.] Second, what is Bain Capital trying to accomplish? Sometimes it takes a conversation or two to let people know that we're just like any other venture fund. We have carry and comp that's just like other firms. We're independent – our investment committee is just the nine of us. We have an overlap of limited partners with other Bain Capital funds, but some people incorrectly assume that we're an evergreen fund with big Bain Capital as a solo LP. We're like a lot of our peers, except that we happen to be part of a really big franchise.
You've said the firm is very data driven. How is that impacting your investing style?
There's a value placed on being thorough and smart, which isn't the case in all firms. They look at more metrics. Some [investors] are more intuitive and gunslinging. In the past I've relied on domain knowledge and intuition. So I think it's been a very good education for me to be less intuitive and more thorough. When doing due diligence, I used to talk to a few customers. Now I talk to a dozen.
Aria Systems, a 10-year-old, San Francisco-based company that offers its clients cloud-based recurring revenue management, announced today that it has raised $40 million in its fourth round of funding. The round was led by Bain Capital Ventures and included existing investors Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, Interwest Partners, Tugboat Ventures, and Venrock as well as VMware, bringing the total funds raised to date to $83 million.
BTC China, a two-year-old, Shanghai-based bitcoin trading platform, has raised $5 million Series A from Lightspeed China Partners and Lightspeed Venture Partners, reports TechCrunch. Until now, the company has been bootstrapped by founders Bobby Lee, Linke Yang, and Xiaoyu Huang. You can learn more here.
Collective IP, a two-year-old, Boulder, Colo.-based repository of tech transfer data, has raised $2.4 million from Tango/High Country Venture among others, according to an SEC filing. The company had previously raised a $1.05 million seed round last year.
HipLogiq, a year-old, Dallas-based, Twitter data mining startup, has raised $7 million in Series B funding from Hadron Global Partners. The company has raised $12 million altogether.
Index, a months-old, San Francisco-based retail software company, has raised $7 million in Series A funding led by Innovation Endeavors, Khosla Ventures, AIMCo and 819 Capital. The company was founded by former Google Wallet executives Marc Freed-Finnegan and Jonathan Wall.
Kabbee, a 2.5-year-old, London-based price comparison service for London's minicabs, has raised $5.76 million led by Octopus Investments. In fall of last year, the company raised its first funding, $3.25 million, from Samos Investments, Pentland Group, and Redbus Group, among others.
LeCab, a year-old, Paris-based company that competes with Uber in Europe, has raised $6.8 million in Series B funding. The company isn't disclosing who its investors are, but its CEO, Benjamin Cardoso, tells TechCrunch not to worry about such details, explaining that they are "fortysomething French entrepreneurs who created their startups around 10 years ago." So French! The company has previously raised $4.1 million.
LightSail, an 18-month-old, New York-based education technology startup, has raised $3.5 million in Series A funding, according to VentureWire. The company, which aims to improve students' literacy in elementary and secondary schools, raised the money from a long list of individual investors, including Ricardo Sagrera of Viceroy Ventures; Joel Greenblatt of Gotham Capital; Chuck Strauch, former chairman and CEO of PairGain Technologies; and Seamless.com co-founder Paul Appelbaum.
Mojave Networks, a two-year-old, San Mateo, Calif.-based company whose cloud-based software is used by enterprises to block malware or other threats from employee mobile devices, has raised $5 million. The round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners. Sequoia Capital, which previously invested more than $1 million in seed funding in the company, also participated in the round.
SimpliVity, a four-year-old, Westborough, Mass.-based company, has raised $58 million led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Draper Fisher Jurvetson. New investors Meritech Capital Partners and Swisscom AG also joined the round, along with previous investors Accel Partners and Charles River Ventures. SimpliVity has now raised more than $101 million for its OmniCube appliance, which can reportedly handle the work of multiple appliances — from server virtualization to networking to WAN optimization — and for less cost.
TriVascular, a 15-year-old, Santa Rosa, Calif.-based company that makes stent grafts for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms, has raised $40 million in Series E financing. Investors in the round included New Enterprise Associates, Delphi Ventures, MPM Capital, Kearny Venture Partners, Kaiser Permanente Ventures, the Redmile Group, Deerfield Management, Rock Springs Capital and Permal Asset Management. The company has raised about $255 million over the years, according to Crunchbase.
Crosslink Capital, a San Francisco-based venture capital and growth equity firm, is officially in the market for its seventh fund, according to an SEC filing first flagged by peHUB. The filing doesn't list a target and it states that the first sale has yet to occur. Crosslink had closed its sixth, $200 million fund in September 2011 after two years of fundraising. That pool was slightly smaller than the firm's fourth and fifth funds, which both exceeded $225 million. Though the firm invests in both young and more mature businesses, it typically aims to invest between $10 million and $30 million into each of its portfolio companies.
Dave Goldberg, CEO of SurveyMonkey, tells the San Jose Mercury News that his well-funded company has no plans to IPO anytime soon. "We're never going to rule out going public, because there can be good reasons to go public. We just don't feel like we have those reasons," he says.
Shirish Sathaye, who joined Khosla Ventures as a GP three years ago, has left the firm, says Fortune's Dan Primack. A spokeswoman for the firm confirmed that Sathaye's last day was Friday. You can learn a bit more here. Prior to joining Khosla, Sathaye spent nearly a decade with Matrix Partners. Before jumping into venture capital, Sathaye spent four years as the VP of engineering at Alteon Websystems.

The legend of "Here, My Dear"
It's one of the most enduring urban legends in music history: that a family court Judge ordered Marvin Gaye to pay his ex-wife all the royalties from his next album, so he deliberately recorded a stinker that no one would buy.
The truth, according to Snopes.com, is more complicated (and much more interesting):
By the time Marvin's day of financial reckoning arrived, he had little cash and was well in arrears for a large amount of back taxes, so his attorney worked out a settlement under which Anna would be paid off from the royalties earned by Gaye's next album. That next album turned out to be Here, My Dear, a harrowing "concept album of divorce" which chronicled the turmoil of Anna and Marvin's relationship. The record's symbolism was hardly subtle: The inner sleeve depicted a Monopoly-like board game emblazoned with the word JUDGMENT, across which a male hand passed a record to a female hand. On the man's side of the board were only a piano and some recording equipment, while the female's side of the board included money, a house, a Mercedes, and a diamond ring.
Although Marvin and Anna's divorce settlement was indeed tied to the royalties generated by Here, My Dear, the common legend surrounding the record — that Marvin was ordered by a judge to hand over all his royalties from the album to Anna, and that Marvin was in a position to spitefully deprive Anna of those royalties by intentionally recording an album so bad it would not sell — is largely untrue. First off, the payment-through-royalties scheme was a settlement worked out through mutual agreement, not one devised and mandated by a judge. Second, rarely does a competent attorney accept (or a responsible judge impose) a dissolution of partnership settlement under which the amount of compensation received by one party is completely dependent upon a future endeavor of the other party, precisely because such a settlement could allow one side to cheat the other by deliberately underperforming. (A similar legend about producer Phil Spector is based on this premise.)
The circumstances in Marvin Gaye's case were that he agreed to pay Anna a total of $600,000, the first $307,000 coming from the advance against royalties he was guaranteed for his next album, and the remaining $293,000 to be paid out of any royalties earned beyond the advance. But Anna would lose nothing if the record sold poorly, because the agreement specified that if the album failed to earn $293,000 within two years, Gaye was obligated to pay Anna the difference himself, and thus he had nothing to gain by tanking the sessions and purposely turning out substandard product. (In fact, he was in a position to lose a great deal by doing so, both because he was entitled to keep any royalties earned after the first $600,000, and because he stood to earn additional monies not payable to Anna through his publishing rights.)
Critical reaction to Here, My Dear was mixed. As Gaye biographer Steve Turner wrote, "Reviewers didn't seem to know whether the double album was a huge joke at the expense of Anna Gaye and Motown, or a work of genius." The record was not a hit, failing to sell well enough to even recoup the advance against royalties paid by Motown, so Marvin Gaye (who was by then officially bankrupt) was obligated to begin making monthly payments to Anna to cover the shortfall. However, Gaye was killed in 1984 still owing Anna the additional $293,000 due her, and monies earned by his estate since his death have gone to paying off the IRS rather than benefiting his ex-wives and children, thereby proving the maxim about life's only two certainties.
Here, My Dear is No. 462 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The track listing includes "When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You," "Anger" and "You Can Leave, But It's Going to Cost You."

RECRUITING REPORT
Pearl's Jordan Wright chooses ULL
Jordan Wright wants to continue his football career somewhere he feels wanted.
That place is Louisiana-Lafayette. On Thursday afternoon, the Pearl running back committed to the Ragin' Cajuns.
"They're the school that showed interest from me from the start and always stayed in contact," Wright said. "I want to go to a school where I'm wanted."
Wright received an offer from ULL after participating in a camp last summer. The running back impressed his future coaches with his straight-line speed, running a 4.47-second 40-yard dash.
Wright also held offers from Southern Miss and Memphis. The running back cites his relationship with ULL assistant coach Reed Stringer as one reason behind his decision.
"Coach Stringer told me what I accomplished in high school is what I can accomplish in college," Wright said. "They like to run the ball a lot and (Stringer) told me the best players are going to play. He doesn't care if I'm a freshman. If they think I'm ready, I'm going to play."
Louisiana-Lafayette's run game is the focal point of its offense. For the running back who racked up 81 touchdowns and 5,688 rushing yards during his career at Pearl, that, too, was enticing.
"They told me they're looking for an all-around back and that's exactly what I am," he said. "They told me they like how I can get yards after contact, run between the tackles and my speed in the hole."
Before his senior season, Wright set a goal of wanting to score 50 rushing touchdowns. While he finished just shy of that with 42, the running back still has high aspirations for his college career and beyond.
As high as reaching the NFL?
"Oh yeah," he said.
For months, Wright hoped what he did on Friday nights would translate to bigger offers.
It didn't, but that doesn't have him or Pearl coach John Perry discouraged about where Wright could end up.
"We sat down yesterday and had a long talk," Perry said. "My message to him was this - 'Walter Payton went to JSU and made it to the NFL. Jerry Rice went to (Mississippi) Valley (State) and went to the NFL. If your dream is to play in the NFL, you don't have to go to the SEC.' You want to go somewhere you're wanted and where you're happy. It's a good decision all the way around."

Mihkel Räim: "My goal is to turn pro in 2016"
How many of you have heard of Jaan Kirsipuu? Most likely, many, as the former rider from Tartu was an important figure of the peloton more than 15 years ago, when he was fighting at the Tour de France sprints, scoring along the way four stage wins, while riding for AG2R and Crédit Agricole. But how many of you have heard of Mihkel Räim? At the moment, not many can say that, but be sure you keep his name in mind, as the 21-year-old is flying this season and the results he scored so far are helping him build a nice CV that ultimately will take the Estonian cyclist to the pro ranks.
Although young, Mihkel Räim – who rides for Team Pro Immo Nicolas Roux – doesn't lack the confidence which is so important in such a tough sport, where everyone is trying hard to make a name for themselves. On top of that, he's hard-working and displays each time a very aggressive style (which is a trademark of Baltic cyclists), and that has helped him get not only some impressive results, but also many plaudits. Recently, Mihkel accepted to sit down and talk for Cafe Roubaix about his first years in cycling, his 2015 season, the most interesting and funniest situations encountered so far and his goals for the future.
– Mihkel, how did you start cycling?
Actually, it's not surprising that I discovered cycling. My father is an ex-rider, he owns a bike store, and he is DS and President of a cycling team (Saaremaa Jalgrattaklubi Viiking) in my home island. He organized one of the most popular cycling races in Estonia, named Saaremaa velotuur for over 20 years. All my uncles have been cyclists at different levels, so it was pretty obvious that I have to try it.
– At that time, did you have an idol or a rider you looked up to?
I had plenty of idols, depending on the day. Some days, my biggest idols were my uncles. Some days, when I watched races on TV, it was Marco Pantani. In the flat races I was always supporting the Estonian cyclists, like Jaan Kirsipuu and Lauri Aus.
– How were your first years, what do you remember from back then?
When it all started, I only raced the local events. When I began for good, I didn't win races, I was just in the top 6 sometimes. When I got a better bike, I started to win local races, and one of my favorite memories is when my father helped me make custom cycling clothes. It was a really nice day, he made the custom ones, because cycling in Estonia wasn't very popular back then and there weren't proper racing clothes for me in the bike stores. Afterwards, when I went to national races with my dad, I finished in top 10, but the victories came a couple of years later.
– How popular is cycling in Estonia nowadays? Did something change?
It has really changed a lot. Cycling is very popular in Estonia and it keeps getting bigger and bigger and I am really proud of that. For example, our national cycling calendar is packed with races, so the riders have to choose if they want to do MTB race or road race. There are even week-ends when you have to choose from two road races. Honestly, I am really looking forward to the development of cycling in Estonia.
– How would you describe yourself as a rider? What are your strong points and what would you still like to improve?
That's a tricky question. First word what comes to my mind is aggressive: that means I really like to attack and make others suffer. Also I am pretty good in the sprint, I have the sprinter's speed, but sometimes I am not too crazy to fight with the elbows before the sprint. Breakaway sprints are for me, that's my cup of tea. This year I made some important progress on the climbs, so I can get over some climbs now and this is very big for me. In the past, when the road began to rise, I was immediately suffering at the bottom of the ascent and then was dropped in a flash. This year, in France, there have been situations when I have made even some climbers suffer and that's cool. If I can go over the climbs with skinny guys, then it's pretty easy to sprint with them. My weakness is the time trial and of course I believe I can be better on the climbs also. I think I am psychologically strong, but I have also cracked in the past. It happens.
– After a couple of years in your home country, you came to France. How did this happen?
For an Estonian cyclist is a natural step to move to France after he graduates school. There are a lot of guys who did it before me and I am pretty sure that in the future there will be plenty of guys who will follow in my footsteps. After having strong results in the 2012 Juniors Paris-Roubaix, where I finished in 12th place, a local French cycling enthusiast, Jean-Claude Comby, contacted with me and made me an offer to come to France. He came with a nice racing schedule, gave me place to live and it was all perfect for me to prepare for the World Championships. So I did some good races in France, won two of these and got several podiums. Then I signed with a French DN1 team CR4C Roanne. It was my first foreign team.
– Some riders have a cultural shock when changing countries. Was it the same with you?
I think I have adapted well. Of course, there were some funny things that happened along the way. For example, shaking hands with teammates in the morning and when you leave. It was weird, we do it sometimes in Estonia, but mainly we just say "Ciao" and wave hands. The second thing was eating white bread. Oh, my God, how many French people eat that, and in considerable amounts. Third thing was kissing the ladies on the cheek when saying hello. There were also the never ending dinners, almost 5-hour long, which was softly brutal. I am sure there were some more things, but these are the ones I remember very well.
– Of the many wins you got so far, which was the most important for you?
It's a tough question, because every victory is special. Tour de la Region de Lodz stage victories and win in GC are special, as those were my first successful international races. Winning a stage in the Baltic Chain Tour was also important, because it was my first – and I hope not the last – pro win. Stage victory in the Saaremaa velotuur was psychologically important, because my father and mother have organized this race for many, many years and it was like gift to them. But I really hope that best victories will come in the future.
– How about the most interesting or unusual situation you encountered in a race?
I think it happened this year in Flanders, when I ran up the cobblestone climb of Koppenberg. When I started to ride it, I thought "damn, this is not real". Running it in a cycling race it was fun, but because of that I lost a top three placing there. Looking behind, I'm sure that I had the legs to win Flanders.
– This year, while riding for Team Pro Immo Nicolas Roux, you already scored a victory, three podiums and finished 6th in Flanders. Was this first part of the season above your expectations?
I am surprised by my strong first half of the season, but on the other hand I worked really hard in the winter, so I think I deserved it. Being 6th in the Tour of Flanders was like the cherry on the cake. Inside my heart I believed I can have results like that, but there were still some question marks. When I raced Flanders for the first time, in 2012, I knew that this can be a race where I can do well.
– What's next for you?
I recently finished the Tour d'Azerbaijdan, and although I didn't got any super results there, I saw that I can ride well at this level and opponents didn't underestimate me. Now I have some Elite races in France, then the Tour of Estonia (UCI 2.1), the European Games in Baku and the National Championships. Of course, there are also the European Championships, which will be held in Estonia, at Tartu. My goal in these races is to get strong results and I hope that some pro team will see me and I can sign a good contract.
– So your big goal is to join the pro ranks soon.
I was pro once before, in 2013, with Amore&Vita, and that year was really difficult for me, both from a physically and psychologically point of view. I really hope it's going to happen at the end of this year. If not, then I will try again next year. If I can't do it then, I don't really know what to say, maybe I'll have to stop cycling. It depends on what conditions I can ride in the French amateur level and what will my motivation be. But one thing that's certain is that I am doing all that I can in order to earn this desired pro contract.


Washington — The ADA is asking the House Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health to support legislation that will modernize the Food and Drug Administration's 40 year-old system for regulating over-the-counter drug products.
In a Sept. 13 letter to subcommittee Chair Michael C. Burgess, R-Texas, and Ranking Member Gene Green, D-Texas, the ADA urged the legislators to enact policy that will streamline the FDA's system as the committee looks at legislation to reauthorize the Prescription Drug User Fee Act.
The letter was sent ahead of a subcommittee hearing on ways to modernize the FDA's regulation of over-the-counter drugs.
"The current system involves a three-phase public rulemaking process that can take years — and sometimes decades — to resolve," wrote ADA President Gary L. Roberts and Executive Director Kathleen T. O'Loughlin, noting that this "laborious" process is leading to obsolete testing for safety, identity, strength, quality and purity.
Drs. Roberts and O'Loughlin pointed out that despite updated science the OTC monograph for anticaries drug products has not been updated since 1995.
"This means the safety and effectiveness of these products is being based on decades-old science when newer and better testing methods are available," Drs. Roberts and O'Loughlin wrote. "Consumers deserve to know that the oral health drug products they are buying comport with best available quality and safety standards."

Q: Relationships between entities using Resolve Target Entity in Symfony2 when the referencedColumnName is different to "id" I'm working in my first distributable bundle and I have some questions about how to reuse the "exists user entity" in my bundle. The aim of my bundle is to relate  the ticket entity with the user entity.
I'm trying to relate entities between different bundles when the 'referencedColumnName' of the TargetEntity is different to 'id'.
I'm following the Resolve Target Entity Docs and works fine to me Only when the primary key of the "targetEntity" is named exactly as "id".
Example:
// file: vendor\Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\Entity\Ticket.php

class Ticket {

    /**
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="\Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\Model\UserInterface")
     */
    private $user;
}

// file: vendor\Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\Model\UserInterface.php;

interface UserInterface {

    public function getId();

}

# file: app/config/config.yml

doctrine:
    orm:
        auto_mapping: true
        resolve_target_entities:
            Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\Model\UserInterface: AppBundle\Entity\User

If the primary key of the entity AppBundle/Entity/User names "id", the relationship between my bundle and this entity works fine.
// file: src/AppBundle/Entity/User.php

class User implements \Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\Model\UserInterface
{
    /**
     * @var integer
     *
     * @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     */
    private $id;
}

but otherwise, an exception occurs:
// file: src/AppBundle/Entity/User.php

class User implements \Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\Model\UserInterface
{
    /**
     * @var integer
     *
     * @ORM\Column(name="id_customer", type="integer")
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     */
    private $id;
}

Column name 'id' referenced for relation from \Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\Entity\Ticket towards AppBundle\Entity\User does not exists.

I know if you specify the value of the foreign key in the annotation @ORM\JoinColumn(referencedColumnName="id_of_the_external_user_entity") this will works great, But from my bundle I have no way of knowing the name of the foreign key with my actual configuration.

*

*Is there any way to create a relationship between two entities regardless of the name of these primary keys ?

*May be I can request to the user  specify in the app/config/config.yml the name of the primary key of him "user entity" and somehow specify  this value to doctrine to create the right relationship between the entities of my bundle and entities of the user that installed my bundle. But, How can I do it?
Thank you.
regards
Thanks a lot in advance!!
More details:
Repository of my distributable bundle is: https://github.com/KdrMkLabs/TicketBundle

A: After several hours analyzing this problem , I have concluded that a correct way to create relationships between entities that are unknown to each other, is by using the doctrine eventlisteners. I'll explain how to do it below.

You can solve your conflicts with a Doctrine event listener to map your entities using PHP instead of annotations.

The EntityManager and UnitOfWork trigger a bunch of events during the life-time of their registered entities.

Here you have a list of Lifecycle Events that you can use
In this case we'll listen the event loadClassMetadata to make the correct doctrine mapping and create a good relationship between the user entity and your bundle entity.
1. Create a Doctrine EventListener in your bundle
// file: Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\EventListener\LoadMetadata.php

namespace Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\EventListener;
use Doctrine\ORM\Event\LoadClassMetadataEventArgs;

class LoadMetadata {
    protected $userRepository;
    protected $primary_key;

    public function __construct($userRepository, $primary_key)
    {
        $this->userRepository = $userRepository;
        $this->primary_key = $primary_key;
    }

    public function getSubscribedEvents()
    {
        return ['loadClassMetadata',];
    }

    public function loadClassMetadata(LoadClassMetadataEventArgs $eventArgs)
    {
        $classMetadata = $eventArgs->getClassMetadata();
        $class_name = $classMetadata->getName();

        if($class_name == "Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\Entity\Ticket") {

            // The following is to map ORM with PHP
            $mapping = array(
                'targetEntity' => $this->userRepository,
                'fieldName' => 'user',
                'joinColumns' => array(
                    array(
                        'name' => 'user_id',
                        'referencedColumnName' => $this->primary_key
                    )
                )
            );

            $classMetadata->mapManyToOne($mapping);
        }
    }
}

Note that the value of 'fieldName' is the one that corresponds to the name of the class attribute that refers to the $user in your Ticket entity. The above mapping array is similar to do doctrine ORM mapping with annotation, as you can see below:
class Ticket {

    /**
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="\Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\Model\UserInterface")
     * @ORM\JoinColumn(name="user_id", referencedColumnName="?id_from_external_entity?")
     */
    private $user;
}

Here is more information about mapping in doctrine 2 with PHP
2. Register the eventListener as a service
# file: Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\Resources\config\services.yml

services:
    kdrmklabs_ticket.listener:
        class: Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\EventListener\LoadMetadata
        arguments:
            - %kdrmklabs_ticket.model.user.class%
            - %kdrmklabs_ticket.model.user.primary_key%
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_listener, event: loadClassMetadata }

Do not forget inject the new parameter kdrmklabs_ticket.model.user.primary_key from your DependencyInjection, for example:
// file: Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\DependencyInjection\Configuration.php
class Configuration implements ConfigurationInterface
{
    public function getConfigTreeBuilder()
    {
        $treeBuilder = new TreeBuilder();
        $rootNode = $treeBuilder->root('kdrmklabs_ticket');

        $rootNode->children()
            ->scalarNode('user_class')->isRequired()->cannotBeEmpty()->end()
            ->scalarNode('user_primay_key')->isRequired()->cannotBeEmpty()->end()
        ->end();

        return $treeBuilder;
    }
}

// file: Kdrmklabs\Bundle\TicketBundle\DependencyInjection\KdrmklabsTicketExtension.php

class KdrmklabsTicketExtension extends Extension
{
    public function load(array $configs, ContainerBuilder $container)
    {

        $config = $this->processConfiguration($configuration, $configs);

        $loader = new Loader\YamlFileLoader($container, new FileLocator(__DIR__.'/../Resources/config'));

        $container->setParameter('kdrmklabs_ticket.model.user.primary_key', $config['user_primay_key']);
    }
}

3. Finally, inject the parameter 'user_primay_key' from the project config.yml file.
# file: app\config\config.yml

kdrmklabs_ticket:
    user_class: AppBundle\Entity\User
    user_primay_key: id

That is all. Whenever you update the doctrine scheme, Doctrine automatically create the relationship between your Ticket entity and the external User entity that is specified in the project config.yml (app/config/config.yml)

Q: PyTorch: Scattering a 3D tensor using scatter_reduce() I have the following 3x3x3 tensor (tensor_3D), which I want to scatter (product) over the first two dimensions using the index (index).
import torch
# create a 3D tensor of size 3x3x3 with numbers from 1 to 27
tensor_3D = torch.arange(1,28).reshape(3,3,3)
#tensor([[[ 1,  2,  3],
#         [ 4,  5,  6],
#         [ 7,  8,  9]],
#
#        [[10, 11, 12],
#         [13, 14, 15],
#         [16, 17, 18]],
#
#        [[19, 20, 21],
#         [22, 23, 24],
#         [25, 26, 27]]])

# create a 1D tensor of size 3 to be used as index when scattering
index = torch.tensor([0,0,1]).reshape(3,1)
#tensor([[0],
#        [0],
#        [1]])

This is my desired tensor (res) is illustrated below. It has dimensions 2x3x3.
# permute the result to get the desired output
d1 = torch.tensor ([4,  10,  18, 7,   8,   9 ]).reshape(2,3)
d2 = torch.tensor ([130, 154, 180, 16,  17,  18 ]).reshape(2,3)
d3 = torch.tensor ([418, 460, 504, 25,  26,  27 ]).reshape(2,3)
desired = torch.stack([d1,d2,d3], dim=2)
#tensor([[[  4, 130, 418],
#         [ 10, 154, 460],
#         [ 18, 180, 504]],
#
#        [[  7,  16,  25],
#         [  8,  17,  26],
#         [  9,  18,  27]]])

As of now, I am doing the following but I am not getting the correct dimensions
import torch
# create a 3D tensor of size 3x3x3 with numbers from 1 to 27 uisng torch.arange
tensor_3D = torch.arange(1,28).reshape(3,3,3)
# create a 1D tensor of size 3 with numbers
index = torch.tensor([0,0,1]).reshape(3,1)
#Expand index to 3x3x3
index_expand = index.expand(3,3,3)
print(index_expand)
# use index to scatter_reduce product the values of tensor_3D to a new tensor of size 3x2x3
new_tensor = torch.ones(3,2,3, dtype=torch.int64)
print(new_tensor)
res = new_tensor.scatter_reduce(
    1,
    index_expand,
    tensor_3D,
    reduce="prod")

Missing in America
Few Clues to Whereabouts of Peggy McGuire Who Vanished After Dropping Son off at School
Surveillance video shows an unidentified subject parking her truck at a rural bar.
Peggy McGuire disappeared on November 16th.Peggy McGuire Facebook page
Nov. 30, 2015, 8:52 PM UTC / Updated Nov. 30, 2015, 8:52 PM UTC
By Rachael Trost
Monday marks two weeks since Peggy McGuire was last seen dropping her young son off at school outside Eufaula, Oklahoma.
A grainy image captured the next morning around 5:00 a.m. shows Peggy's Toyota truck being parked at T&J's Ice House, a rural bar along Highway 9. A dark, unidentified figure can be seen walking away from the vehicle through an early morning storm.
That's when the trail appears to go cold, leaving family, friends and thousands of complete strangers painfully anxious.
"She wouldn't just up and leave her little boy. Something is wrong," Betty Davis, Peggy's mother, told Dateline. "I just want my Peggy back. What if I never see her again?"
Peggy is a licensed practical nurse, who just passed her boards this June, according to her mother. She loves animals and, in addition to her pet dogs, she helps care for more than 150 head of cattle and a small group of goats. She spends her time working hard, volunteering as a youth basketball coach, and taking care of her son.
There is now a $17,500 reward offered by several local businesses, including her employer, for information aiding in her safe return.
The last person to reportedly speak with Peggy was her stepfather, whom she phoned that morning on her way to the home she shares with her son and the boy's father. She was going to call him back shortly with the measurements for a new deck, her mother said.
She never called, nor did she showed up for her niece's ball game that evening. Another day passed with no contact. Her mother filed a missing person's report on Wednesday of that week, leaving about 48 hours between the time Peggy vanished and when police became involved.
McIntosh County Sheriff Department
"I couldn't get her on Monday or Tuesday and neither could anyone else," said Betty. "She was completely off the grid. Now it is two weeks later with nothing, just nothing."
McIntosh County Sheriff Kevin Ledbetter says Peggy's truck has been processed by the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation and several items have been sent along for further testing.
Initial indications, however, do not point to what may have happened to Peggy. A warrant was issued for her cellphone records on the 19th, but results could take weeks to be fully processed. Warrants have also been filed for her financial records and social media information.
"We have to investigate as if it is the most serious case you could think of. Whatever may have happened, we have to treat it that way, whether some harm has come to her or she's healthy and safe somewhere on her own free will," Sheriff Ledbetter told Dateline.
Some in the community have questioned why more searches haven't been conducted. The answer, according to Sheriff Ledbetter, is there simply isn't a starting point at this time for a ground search of the 350-plus square mile area.
"We've been working it from day one," said Sheriff Ledbetter. "The problem is, we don't have a point of to really go off of. Once we do, we will launch whatever resources are necessary to investigate it further. We are following up with any and all leads we get."
The Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation also continues to assist in the case.
Outside of the official investigation underway, volunteers have filed in to scour the thickets and rural landscape for the slightest clue. Family members have flown in from North Carolina and California. Online message boards and social channels remain abuzz with those who are curious and concerned about Peggy.
The Facebook group "BRING PEGGY HOME!!!!" has garnered more than 4,600 members.
"I am not leaving until we have answers," Betty told Dateline. "I don't live more than a drive away but that's not close enough. It's raining and cold out, and all I can do is pray my Peggy is somewhere dry and warm."
Peggy McGuire is described as 5'10" tall, weighing 140 lbs. with curly blonde hair and blue eyes.
Anyone with information is asked to call the McIntosh County Sheriff's Department at (918) 689-2526.

Viviane Reding has a sense for politics, clearly. But if she aspires to become one of the leading figures of European politics – and in her straightforward way, she does – then she should demonstrate a sense for diplomacy too.
Now Hungary finds itself in the commissioner's sights. Certainly the Commission has a legitimate responsibility to examine the changes in Hungary's judicial system and take a closer look at the quite rapid lawmaking underway in Budapest. The problem comes when a commissioner turns a judicial enforcement issue into a political issue – and a chance for a political fight.
And that is what has happened in the so-called Tobin Affair. An Irish national named Francis Ciaran Tobin was responsible for an automobile accident in Hungary back in 2000, in which the car he was driving struck and killed two children. Tobin was tried and convicted in a Hungarian court and sentenced, in 2002, to three years in prison, but he fled home to Ireland and never served out his sentence. Thirteen years have passed since the tragic accident but – in spite of the legal efforts of the family of two children and the Hungarian authorities – Ireland has not arrested or extradited Tobin, citing legal technicalities. We've heard noises recently that that may be changing, but back to that in a moment.
Nothing justifies Commissioner Reding's words. No serious political conflicts, no differences of views on Europe and cooperation among member states. Nothing merits her drawing a link between the unsolved Tobin Affair and current questions over Hungarian judicial reform. Absurdly, Commissioner Reding is apparently more anxious about the Hungarian courts than the hapless Mr. Tobin and his lawyers ever were. They never questioned the independence of the Hungarian judicial system.
In fact, recently, just weeks after Madame Commissioner's remarks, Mr Tobin himself indicated that he may now finally be willing to begin serving his sentence. He has asked that he be able to serve out his time in prison in Ireland. Hungary's Minister of Justice Tibor Navracsics, underlining that the procedures for extradition between EU countries are clear, has assured that after he begins serving the sentence in Hungary, Tobin will be extradited to Ireland as soon as possible.
So it would appear that the case is finally – we hope – being resolved, despite the commissioner. What a pity that the European guardian of the justice system chose to use this opportunity for a political attack on a member state instead of helping to find a quicker solution to this tragic legal case. Viviane Reding has a sense for politics, clearly. But if she aspires to become one of the leading figures of European politics – and in her straightforward way, she does – well, then she should demonstrate a sense for diplomacy too.

If a massage therapist is pushing too hard, ask for lighter pressure. Occasionally you may have a sensitive spot in a muscle that feels like a knot. It's likely to be uncomfortable while your massage therapist works it out. But if it becomes painful, speak up.

I the option of choosing the loan that suits me as well as accept the loan at a lower amount. No pressure or hassel to accept the loan.
I did not use them cause I found a car elsewhere but I saved the voucher they sent me in case the other deal fell through and I was going to use this service They approved me and sent me a voucher for over 9,000 on the same day I got turned down at my credit union I was also contacted immediately by a car dealer on their program It was great and very encouraging to me after the let down of the banks refusal I have been without a car without a car for some time had fair credit and they approved me within minutes with no collateral or any further questions If I hadn't gone with who I did they would have been next Highly recommend especially if you are in my situation If you dont have credit you cant get credit Road Loans gave me my hopes back Thanks so much!!!
This lender ran my credit score without approval. Lending tree did not state that any lender would be running my credit score. I am deeply disappointed with my experience and extremely unhappy that my credit score will now be bumped down. On top of that, i could not see the previous reviews about this company running credit scores without consent as i did not even know about the company until it came up in the search. After running my score. The damage is already done and irreversible, but i never want to use this site again.
I was just looking at loan options I didn't even apply for a loan with this company and got a hard inquire from them without my consent or request! I take my credit very seriously and I think most will agree that a lender hitting you with a hard inquire with out your approval or consent is unacceptable... I will never do business with this company and may never using lendingtree.com again because of this experience!
If you need help to get a vehicle finance don't waste your energy with Road loan. They will judge your credit history and the use it against you.
Let's answer a few short questions and see what offers RoadLoans and other lenders may have for you.

The Gypsies: A People of Nature, Technology, and Fortune-Telling
Jan Yoors who lived among the Gypsies for about ten years, shared their hardships and a wandering life. His book The Gypsies conveys his fascinating experience of living in the Gypsies' camp.
According to Yoors, the Gypsies were "a people without a past and without a future". They were always on the move, searching for a place to set up their encampment. The Gypsies were not interested in acquiring property or in building permanent homes.
Yoors describes the Gypsies as "a people of nature", who are in harmony with the natural world. They live close to the earth and are connected to its rhythms. The Gypsies are also a people of technology, who use their skills to create objects that they need for their survival.
The Gypsies have a strong social order, which is based on family ties. The family is the most important unit in Gypsy society. Gypsy children learn from an early age to respect their elders and to obey their parents.
The Gypsies are also a people of fortune-telling. They believe that the future can be predicted by looking at the stars, interpreting dreams, and reading tea leaves.
Yoors observes that theGypsies are often misunderstood by outsiders. They are often seen as dirty, lazy, and dishonest. However, Yoors argues that the Gypsies are not dirty or lazy; they simply have different standards of hygiene than mainstream society. And while there are some dishonest Gypsies, Yoors argues that this is no different from any other group of people.
In conclusion, Yoors' book provides a unique and insightful look into the world of the Gypsies. It is clear that Yoors has great respect for this marginalized group of people.
What led you to write about gypsies?
I was always fascinated by gypsies and their nomadic lifestyle. I thought it would be interesting to write about them in order to dispel some of the misconceptions that people have about them.
What are some of the misconceptions about gypsies that you hope to dispel?
Some of the misconceptions about gypsies that I hope to dispel are that they are all criminals, that they are dirty and uneducated, and that they are lazy. I hope to show that there is more to gypsy culture than what meets the eye.
How did you go about researching this topic?
I went about researching this topic by reading books and articles about gypsies, watching documentaries about them, and talking to people who have experience with them.
What were some of the most surprising things you learned about gypsies?
Some of the most surprising things I learned about gypsies were that they are actually very clean people, that they value education highly, and that they are hard workers. I was also surprised to learn that not all gypsies are criminals; in fact, many of them lead honest lives.
What do you think is the biggest misconception about them?
The biggest misconception about gypsies, in my opinion, is that they are all criminals. This is simply not true; while there may be some bad apples in every group, the majority of gypsies are good, honest people.
Do you think there is anything particularly unique or interesting about their culture worth preserving?
I do think there is something unique and interesting about their culture worth preserving; their sense of community and family is something special which should be celebrated rather than misunderstood.
Are there any other groups of people that yoors believes are misunderstood and deserves a more nuanced portrayal in media/society at large?
There are definitely other groups of people who are misunderstood and deserve a more nuanced portrayal in media/society at large. Some examples include immigrants, minorities, and the LGBTQ+ community.

If you're a fan of punk/ska and of course a dash of Reggae, then I'm sure you're familiar with artists like Sublime/Long Beach Dub Allstars, No Doubt, and who could forget The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. There's also a piece of this scene right here on our own turf. KW based Theoretically Nameless Band. The group consists of six members, who combine to create an individual sound from others in the genre. They just released their second EP titled A Is For Effort — a six track package aimed to please the listener.
The first track, "Space," sets the tone for the EP. It comes at you with a force of fast paced power chords accompanied by the tight brass section standing true to the punk/ska sound.
The next two songs, "Misplaced Expectations" and "Pastry Lovin" present the true, but also unique sound the band holds. Both tunes begin slow, duplicating the vibe of true roots Reggae. As any punk or ska track, they then build into high energy riffs paired with strong vocals.
The last track, "Why Can't You" ends the EP with the same tone the band set with the first track. This is my favorite track; it's filled with experimentation of different sounds like reverb used in early Dub Reggae by producers or sound engineers such as King Tubby and Scientist. It further shows the heavy influence from pioneers of the punk/ska genre such as Bad Brains and Fugazi.
You can stream, download or even purchase a CD copy of A Is For Effort at bandcamp.com. The band is also playing Hope Fest at Maxwell's in Waterloo on Sept. 22. Other artists taking the stage will be Single Mothers, Three Crowns and Exalt, to name a few.
Come check out some local talent, it should be a great show.

Phoenix Light Rail Update: We Spent $1.4billion+ to Reduce Transit Ridership »
More Bipartisan Cronyism in Phoenix: Subsidizing Real Estate so that Future Transit Expenditures Can Be Justified
Yuk. $14 million giveaway to developer
Last week, Phoenix City Council members approved a deal for the $82 million high-rise, mixed-use Phoenix Central Station. The development at Central Avenue and Van Buren Street will include about 475 apartments and 30,000 square feet of commercial space.
As part of the deal, Phoenix would give the developer, Smith Partners, a controversial tax-abatement incentive called a Government Property Lease Excise Tax for the tower portion of the project. The agreement allows developers to avoid paying certain taxes through deals that title their land or buildings to a government entity with an exclusive right to lease the property back.
In this case, the city already owns the land, but the developer will eventually take title over the building. The arrangement allows them to not pay property taxes for 25 years, which a city official estimates would be $600,000 to $900,000 per year based on conversations with the developer. However, the developer will make smaller lease payments back to the city, and, after eight years, pay taxes on those lease payments.
The agreement requires the developer to pay the city a portion of its revenue, which will net the city an estimated $4.4 million over the first 25 years
The difference from the $4.4 million they will actually pay and 25 years at $750,000 in property taxes is about $10 million (fudging concerns about present value and such). I used to be OK with anything that reduced taxes for anyone, but now I have come to realize that discounting taxes for one preferred crony just raises taxes for the rest of us. [Props to Republican Sal Deciccio for being one of two to vote against this]
Here is my guess as to what is going on here. Phoenix paid a stupid amount of money to build a light rail line that costs orders of magnitude more money than running the same passengers in buses. One of the justifications for this gross over-expenditure on the light rail boondoggle was that it would spur development along the line. But it is not really doing so. Ridership on light rail has been stagnant for years, as has been transit ridership (most of the light rail ridership gains simply cannibalized from bus service, shifting low-cost-to-serve bus riders to high-cost-to-serve train riders).
So they need to be able to show transit-related development to justify future light rail expansions. Thus, this subsidized development along the rail line.
I will make a firm bet. Within 5 years we will have Phoenix politicians touting this development as a result of the light rail investment with nary a mention of the $10 million additional taxpayer subsidy it received.

Cato just covered this very point: http://www.cato.org/blog/portland-model-nation (see point #5 at the link in particular)
Phoenix is just following Portland's playbook.

This is social engineering and population relocation, on a slightly smaller scale than the Chinese:

Look on the bright side - We lost the Tesla battery factory to Nevada. Now that would have been some real money down the drain.
Sam L.:
Much the same in Portland, OR, from what I read here: http://maxredline.typepad.com/
Onlooker from Troy:
Politicians will be lying about this (and everything else) in 5 years?
Safe bet. :-)
irandom419:
I bet the same people that voted for it, decry tax cuts for the rich.
Sue Smith:
Again, follow the money. There is more going on here than meets the eye. This is how "public servants" get rich at taxpayer expense. Some good old fashion investigative journalism would show the depth of the fraud and deceit.
EH:
You may be failing to consider another option:
1) To a large degree, the fact that people prefer private transportation over public transportation (or bikes or walking) is related to the fact that car travel is fairly cheap.
2) To be more specific, we have relatively cheap gas, relatively low tolls, relatively decent roads, and so on.
3) You have to build the transportation BEFORE you can raise prices to force people onto it, or you lose a lot of wasted time during the construction process.
4) We also know that there is a delay in use of a resource when it expands. That especially applies to people who had previously made a conscious choice to avoid it for cost/benefit reasons.
For example, say that John thought about riding the bus in 2011; decided against it because there were not enough buses on the schedule, and then bought a car.
Now it's 2012 and there are twice as many buses.
If John were deciding for the first time, he might decide to ride the bus now... but that doesn't mean that John is going to invest the time and energy to CHANGE his setup
5) Anyway, to skip a few paragraphs: if you expect that the relative benefits of car/public transport will change substantially in the future, you can easily be justified in building public transport now.
