Witty, Poignant 'Duff' Examines the Power of Prayer (4.5 Stars)
10/27/13 by Mike Hoban
'The Power of Duff' Written by Stephen Belber; Directed by Peter
DuBois; Produced by the Huntington Theatre Company at the Calderwood Pavilion
at the Boston Center for the Arts, Boston, through November 9.
Does prayer actually work? That's the question that theatergoers get to
contemplate during the Huntington Theatre's engaging and witty two-plus hour
production of Stephen Belber's "The Power of Duff", now playing at
the Boston Center for the Arts. Given that it's a subject that doesn't lend
itself very well to scientific analysis but is a practice that most earthlings
find themselves engaging in at some point in their lives (willingly or
otherwise), it's a risky premise that the author, cast and production team
fully invest in and pull off. The play never resorts to cheap sentimentality or
overly broad humor, and that restraint pays huge dividends.
Charlie Duff is a nightly news anchor at the lowest rated local news
station in the spectacularly un-glamorous city of Rochester, NY. Following the
death and funeral of his father (with whom he had spotty visits with in his
declining years), Duff signs off from his newscast with a heartfelt prayer,
much to the horror of his co-anchor, Sue, who is concerned that the station's
"journalistic integrity" (if you watch any local news, particularly
outside of the Boston market, you'll understand why it's in quotation marks) is
being impugned. The reaction of the viewing public, however, is a different
story, as mostly positive emails flood the station's server, and similar tweets
fill cyberspace, especially after Charlie unapologetically prays again the next
night. This causes his station manager to go ballistic and threaten to fire
Charlie if he doesn't stop praying – at least until the ratings go through he
roof when he defies him and his prayer request results in a seemingly
otherworldly solution to a crisis that dominates the local news one day.
In addition to the effect Charlie is having on ratings (people tune in for
his prayer signoffs and CNN even picks up the feed at the end of each broadcast
when he actually prays), he is also cultivating a rabid following locally and
on YouTube that believes that Charlie has some form of divine connection, and
that he should be listened to. What makes the premise especially intriguing is
that Charlie isn't the kind of guy that would normally pray, as he's not
religious. But apparently the death of
his Dad has triggered has some sort of a need for a connection with something
or someone other than himself, since he doesn't seem capable of connecting with
those around him, whether it be colleagues or family.
His inability to make real human connections is made abundantly clear in one scene where he
makes a call to his ex-wife AFTER the funeral to let her know of his Dad's (and
his son's Granddad) passing, and in another where the superficiality of his
relationships with his co-workers is made painfully obvious when it's revealed that he
doesn't even know the name of his longtime co-anchor's husband, or that she has
a child with autism. There is also no evidence of Charlie having any friends,
and he repeatedly rebuffs the station's sports anchor who always wants to
"go for a beer" (although that may just be good judgment). Charlie's
relationship with his ex-wife Lisa and son Ricky is the most revealing of his
self-centeredness, at least until he attempts to begin to make up for his
behavior during the marriage (philandering) and after the divorce (neglecting his son) following
his moment of truth.
Charlie's spiritual ambivalence is balanced by the other members of the
newsroom. The station manager, Scott, is
an atheist that has a common sense driven but very jaded view of the world, and
he accurately sums up what even television journalism is supposed to be.
"We're a news station. We provide information – not solace," he tells
Charlie following one of his prayers. His co-anchor Sue professes to be very
religious, but that doesn't seem to be working out very well for her,
particularly in her home life. She and her husband drifted apart when the child
was diagnosed with autism and they don't communicate anymore, which leaves her
looking for meaning through her "journalism" at the station.
This show is also spot-on in its send-up of the inanity of local news, from
Sue's pursuit of a "big story" (multiple cow deaths) or roving
reporter Ron Kirkpatrick's field reports on nudist ice skaters. Sportscaster
John's sexist and clueless lines also keep the spiritual storyline from getting
too preachy.
There are some very good performances from this solid cast, beginning with
David Wilson Barnes portrayal of Duff, who has accepted his fate as a
newsreader in small time market instead of being taken "seriously" as
a TV journalist in New York, and he is undergoing the usual "later in life" regrets until his
psychic change. Jennifer Westfeldt (who also played the role opposite Greg
Kinnear in New York last year) is a study in deep-seated unhappiness as
Charlie's co-anchor; Brendan Griffin grew on me as the energy-drink fueled,
sexually obsessed sportscaster; and Ben Cole brings a repressed anger at life
to his role as the station manager. Joe Paulik shows a nice range in a number
of roles (especially as the Google executive "visionary"), and
Russell G. Jones is sympathetic as the AIDS patient Joseph Andango. But the
most powerful performances come from his ex-wife (Amy Pietz of 'The
Office' and 'Caroline in the City' fame) and son (Noah Galvin). Despite
the seriocomic nature of the material in most of the play, the pair represent
the serious side of what happens when one's life is lived so self-centered a
manner, and their rage at Charlie is palpable.
"Duff" is less about any specific religion or belief system or
even God than it is about the spirit of connectivity that people feel when they
come together and share experiences, good or bad. You don't even have to be religious or
spiritual to enjoy it, so I give this a strong recommendation. For more info,

Rebelution talks musical growth, fan loyalty…
Rebelution talks musical growth, fan loyalty and cannabis before kicking off the summer concert season at Pacific Amphitheatre
Rebelution will headline the Costa Mesa venue July 12-13 with Collie Buddz, Iya Terra and DJ Mackle.

By Kelli Skye Fadroski | kfadroski@scng.com | Orange County Register
PUBLISHED: July 3, 2019 at 8:27 am | UPDATED: July 3, 2019 at 8:27 am
For a handful of years now, reggae-rock band Rebelution has been a staple of the Pacific Amphitheatre Summer Concert Series during the run of the annual OC Fair in Costa Mesa. The quartet was so popular with the Southern California crowd that the venue extended the band's stay, giving it two nights starting back in 2017.
Rebelution returns this year to officially kickstart the 2019 Toyota Summer Concert Series at Pacific Amphitheatre on Friday, July 12 and Saturday, July 13 with its Good Vibes Summer Tour featuring Collie Buddz, Iya Terra and DJ Mackle.
"It's just always such a great crowd and it's an opportunity to play some songs that we don't normally play because we don't like to do the same set list for each night," vocalist-guitarist Eric Rachmany said during a recent phone interview. "It's good for the die-hard fans that want to hear some different music and it's also a great meeting place for our friends and family who come up from San Diego or the people that come down from Santa Barbara. Costa Mesa really does feel like a hometown show for us, even though none of us are actually from here, but we always get to see a lot of familiar faces."
Rebelution, which includes Rachmany, keyboardist Rory Carey, drummer Wesley Finley and bassist Marley D. Williams, formed in Isla Vista in 2004 and have gone on to release six studio albums, including its Grammy-nominated fifth album, "Falling Into Place," and its most recent effort, "Free Rein." For a band that doesn't receive much mainstream radio play and relies heavily on word-of-mouth from its loyal fan base, getting a Grammy nomination was a huge honor, Rachmany said.
"We ended up doing the whole thing," he said. "We dressed up and walked the red carpet, which was a little weird for us because we're an independent band that got started playing backyard parties and we've just grown steadily every year. We've never had like a 'hit song.' I guess our fans just know the catalog because there's no one specific song they expect to hear every night. I think our fans were proud of us for that and it felt like the band got some recognition after being together for so long and the fans felt like they were part of it, too. They were the ones that helped spread the word about Rebelution and they've been with us every step of the way."
Rachmany describes Rebelution as a reggae-inspired band, though since releasing its third album, 2012's "Peace of Mind," said that the group has experimented with other sounds and explored its rock, folk and even jazz influences. Thankfully, its core audience has continue to follow.
"I don't think our fans just listen to reggae music," he said. "I think they listen to a lot of different stuff, but it's really nice to be able to create anything and have that freedom and still get that acceptance from the fans. We are a band that is inspired by so many genres of music and I think in the future with our albums, we'll continue to do that and try different stuff."
Aside from sold-out summer tour stops and festival dates all over the country including the Summer Concert Series at New York City's Pier 17 and Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, the band also partnered with Lost Abby and The Hop Concept to create the Take on Anything IPA, which is now available online and in select stores in California. This is the band's second beer collaboration. In 2016, it teamed up with Rock Brothers Brewing and Cigar City Brewing for the Rebelution IPA. As cannabis enthusiasts, the band has also worked with FlavRx to put out all-natural cannabis oil cartridges in Sour Tsunami Sativa and Cali-O Indica.
"We've been big cannabis advocates for a long time, even before it became recreationally legal here in the state," he said. "I feel like I'm more of an educator in that movement than anything and we like to do that through the music. If we're passionate about something, we'll tie it to the Rebelution name and we're excited to venture into new things. Rory and Wes are big into beer, so they knew exactly what they wanted it to taste like and they were there every step of the way during that process so that's just another thing that's really coming from the band."
Since the band likes to keep the good summer vibes going all year long, it also started its own destination event dubbed the Bright Side Festival in Jamaica last year. The four-night fest took place in January and was a success, so it's returning in 2020.
"We thought Jamaica would be a perfect place because it has had such an influence on us musically," he said. "We had the understanding that most of the people coming to the festival would be from the United States and we wanted to give them a good taste of what Jamaica is like and it ended up just being a great experience. Next year, we'll have a lot more Jamaican acts on the festival, too. We spent years touring through North America during the winter months in some places where it was negative 15 degree weather, so we're very happy to be doing this now in Jamaica in January."

Nikon and Canon's long glass may be getting slightly lighter over the years, but those flagship lenses are also getting incredibly expensive. Fortunately there is a crop of third party value-priced lenses that have arrived to help out consumers. We've reviewed several of them in the past, like the Tamron 150-600mm G2 lens, Sigma 150-600mm Sport lens, and Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 lens, but until now hadn't gotten the chance to take the lighter-weight of Sigmas two superzooms, the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens into the field. Our annual Alaska bear & puffin photo safari was the perfect opportunity. Two weeks of mid-range use for the bears coupled with longer-range use with the Puffins gave me a chance to put the lens through its paces.
We've been blessed with a number of excellent super-zooms at reasonable prices over the last two years. The Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6, the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens, and the first generation of the Tamron 150-600mm lens. We've shot with, reviewed, and raved about the value each of them provide – as reasonable alternatives to the massively expensive Nikon 200-400mm f/4 lens and the Canon 200-400mm f/4 lens. Now, Tamron has raised the bar, and the price, of its model with a $1400 Tamron 150-600mm G2 lens. The new version focuses faster, has a zoom lock, and improved optics. I expect to do a full review of one, but in the meantime you can pre-order the Tamron 150-600mm G2 lens for $1399 from B&H, with shipments expected to start before the end of September.
Before we dig into some of the details, having shot with these lenses, they are all pretty amazing for what they provide at this relatively low price point. They are all head-and-shoulders above the older generation super-telephoto zooms from these companies. However, they are also bigger and heavier than the classic 120-400mm and 150-500mm designs they largely supercede. Which lens is right for you will depend on your specific budget and needs, but I can easily recommend all of them as quality products that provide good value.

Islamist riots in Bangladesh kill dozens of protesters
At least 27 people have been killed and dozens hurt in fiery, violent clashes between Islamist hardliners and riot police in Bangladesh.
Massive protests demanding a strict anti-blasphemy law paralyzed the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka as a group planned to lay siege to the city on Sunday demanding strict punishments for those seen as insulting Islam.
Police used rubber bullets, tear gas and stun grenades to disperse tens of thousands of supporters of Hefajat-e-Islam, reports the Financial Times.
The conflict left 27 people dead and 250 injured after rioters set shops and vehicles ablaze. The death toll in Dhaka included at least two policemen, according to officials, reports BBC. At least five people were reported killed in clashes in the neighboring city of Chittagong and two in the coastal district of Bagerhat.
Protests erupted after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina rejected demands by Islamist groups and said that existing laws were sufficient to punish anyone who attempted to insult religion.

Georgina Gurney recently received a Virginia Chadwick Award for her paper on how marine protected areas (MPAs) affect human wellbeing, which is published in Global Environmental Change. The Virginia Chadwick Awards are awarded each year to five ARC Centre of Excellence graduate students for the most outstanding publications in peer-reviewed international journals.
Georgina's paper examined the short-, medium- and long-term impacts of MPAs that were specifically designed to achieve the dual goals of conservation and poverty alleviation, on three key domains of poverty (security, opportunity and empowerment) in eight villages in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Using social data for villages with and without MPAs from pre-, mid- and post-the five-year implementation period of the MPAs, she found that the integrated MPAs appeared to contribute to poverty alleviation. Positive impacts spanned all three poverty domains, but within each domain the magnitude of the effects and timescales over which they manifested were mixed. Importantly, positive impacts appeared to occur mostly during the implementation period, after which integrated MPA activities all but ceased and reductions in poverty did not continue to accrue. This finding questions the efficiency of the short-term approach taken in many international donor-assisted protected area projects that integrate development and conservation, which are often designed with the expectation that project activities will be sustained and related benefits will continue to accumulate after external support is terminated.

Q: What heroes have voice lines when destroying arcade machines? In Hanamura, the attackers spawn inside a room full of arcade machines, which everyone proceeds to blow up. I have noticed that when playing as D.Va, she will say, "No one can beat my high scores" when destroying them. Are there any other heroes besides D.Va that have voice lines when destroying the arcade machines?

A: The quote is map specific but doesn't require you to break any arcades.
I'm saying this from both personnal experience and the fact that the source doesn't mention the specificity of destroying arcade booths.
So no heroes have voice line whilest destroying arcade machines.

Q: Matplotlib figure drawn twice The function in the code snippet below should create a simple matplotlib figure and return it.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

def random_figure():
    fig, axes = plt.subplots(2, 1, squeeze=True)
    for ax in axes:
        ax.plot(*np.random.rand(10, 2))
    return fig

What I don't understand is that the figure it is drawn more often than expected:

*

*If I store the return value with my_fig = random_figure(), it is still drawn.

*If I just run random_figure(), it is shown twice:

Is this a setting in matplotlib I'm unaware of?
I'm using jupyter notebook in vscode, if that's relevant.

PS, my expectation is that it behave like the function
def random_number():
    return np.random.rand()

which outputs nothing when the return value is stored with my_num = random_number().

A: You are observing it printing twice because of the REPL-like design of the final referenced item of each Jupyter cell, see first two sentences here. In Jupyter this limits it to showing it once:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

def random_figure():
    fig, axes = plt.subplots(2, 1, squeeze=True)
    for ax in axes:
        ax.plot(*np.random.rand(10, 2))
    return fig
random_figure();

Remember the end of a cell is special because of the REPL design for it. That is why you can just put a variable on the final line of a cell and get the value back without needing print(my_variable).
The code block above works because the last things the cell sees is ; which returns nothing.
With what you had, it returns the plot and so it shows it yet again after it's made it.
With my_fig = random_figure() you don't see it twice because what is returned by random_figure() gets consumed by the assignment.
The trick with adding the ; is often used to suppress object codes of plots (things that like <Figure size 432x288 with 0 Axes>') and sometimes more from showing up in addition to your plot in the output area, see example here, in particular  Kynan's comment here explaining why it works.

Their first obvious tendency is to increase population without increasing the food for its support. In an addition to the 1817 edition he wrote: I have written a chapter expressly on the practical direction of our charity; and in detached passages elsewhere have paid a just tribute to the exalted virtue of benevolence.

Q: Proof that a set $B$ is a subset of the union of a family of sets. I am having trouble even starting a proof for the following: for every $B\in\mathcal{A}$, $B\subseteq \displaystyle \bigcup_{A \in \mathcal{A}} A$. Here is my initial thoughts, of course assume that there is a $B\in\mathcal{A}$ (where $\mathcal{A}$ is a family of sets). Then, there exists an element $x\in \displaystyle\bigcup_{A \in \mathcal{A}}A$. Then by definition of a union over $\mathcal{A}$, $x\in A$. Then, by our assumption, $x\in B$. (And that is all I have).
I may be missing something inbetween my logic, or I may be completely and utterly wrong... My main issue is determining everything I have to show since it is a "for every" statement. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

A: Good effort! Your proof is kind of "the wrong shape". There are some fairly rigid rules for how you prove things about sets, which I will try and spell out a bit.
In particular, the way you prove a statement of the form "for all $x \in X$, the property $P(x)$ holds", is to start your proof by saying "let $x$ be an arbitrary element of $X$". From that point on you can think of $x$ as essentially being "fixed".
The way you prove the statement "$X \subseteq Y$" is to prove the statement "for all $x$ in $X$, we have $x \in Y$" (this is actually the definition of $\subseteq$. Try to convince yourself that this is the same thing as $X \subseteq Y$!). Looking at the previous paragraph, this means we have to take an arbitrary $x \in X$ and show we have $x \in Y$.
The way you prove the statement "there is some element $x$ in $X$ such that the property $P(x)$ holds" is to explicitly name an element $x_0 \in X$, and to show that $P(x_0)$ holds for that particular element.
The way you prove the statement $x \in \bigcup_{A \in \mathcal A} A$ is to prove that there is an $A$ in $\mathcal A$ such that $x \in A$ (this is the definition of a union. Again convince yourself that this is a sensible definition.). So by the last paragraph, you have to explicitly tell me an $A_0 \in \mathcal A$ and prove that $x \in A_0$.
Now we can put this all together to prove that "for all $B \in \mathcal A$, we have $B \subseteq \bigcup_{A \in \mathcal A} A$". We will keep applying the previous paragraphs "recursively" to whittle down the statement we are trying to prove.
To start with, the statement is of the form "for all $B \in \mathcal A$, ...". So let $B$ be an arbitrary element of $\mathcal A$.
Now the statement says "$B \subseteq \bigcup_{A \in \mathcal A} A$". So we know we have to say let $x$ be an arbitrary element of $B$.
Now the statement says "$x \in \bigcup_{A \in \mathcal A} A$". So we have to choose some particular element of $\mathcal A$ that has $x$ as an element. If we look back at the current "situation", we know that $B$ is an element of $\mathcal A$, and $x$ is an element of $B$. Perfect! Consider $A_0 = B$. We have $B \in \mathcal A$ and $x \in B$ by assumption. Hence $x \in \bigcup_{A \in \mathcal A} A$, and therefore we have proved that $B \subseteq \bigcup_{A \in \mathcal A} A$".
Here I have italicised the actual sentences that I think you should stitch together to obtain the proof you want. I think you really do need about this level of detail - in my opinion, the other answer just restates what you're trying to prove, and then says it's true because it's obvious. The key thing is that you have to start with an element of $B$ and show it's in the union, not other way around, which is what it looks like your proof does!
In particular it is a bit confusing that $\mathcal A$ is a set whose elements are also sets - it takes some care to deal with this fact properly.
The rules I spelled out for proving things about sets are not a complete totality - there will sometimes be other approaches, especially as you start proving and quoting lemmas and theorems. But in particular in simple proofs like this, it should always boil down to doing these things.

A: Suppose that $\mathcal{A}=\{A_{i}\}_{i\in I}$ with $A_{i_0}=B$. You want to show that $B\subseteq \bigcup_{A\in \mathcal{A}}A$ or equivalently $A_{i_0}\subseteq \bigcup_{i\in I}A_i$, but this containment since $i_0\in I$.
Does it make sense now?

St. James Cemetery, on Toronto's Parliament St, is the site of the final resting spots for Wm Gooderham, James G Worts and the founders of the Gooderham and Worts Distillery. At some point in the past - perhaps during the 1970s - the angel that decorated the original Gooderham monument was stolen or damaged, perhaps by a fallen tree.
William Gooderham was born in 1790 in Scole,Norfolk, England and emigrated to York (now Toronto, Canada) in 1832.

Gooderham Family Bible found in Distillery
Dinah Cruse-Hunter, whose 4th g-grandmother was a sister-in-law to William Gooderham's son, Alfred Edward Gooderham, was given this bible by a friend who rescued it from under the feet of a worker at the Distillery District. Dinah gave the bible to Gay Gooderham and wrote the following about the bible:
My husband and I have been historical re-enactors for the past 15 years or so. We belong to a group called On-gwe-ho-way (first peoples of Turtle Island) and interpret as Native participants in the War of 1812, mostly. We also interpret as 1812 naval participants and camp followers. On occasion, we also participate as my 3rd Great Grandparents (Col. and Lucy Bridgford) in The Rebellion of 1837.
One of our 1812 re-enactors who knew of my connection to the Gooderhams, asked if we would be interested in a Bible he found while doing renovations at the Distillery District in Toronto. He rescued it from the floor. It had been used as a "step-up" by one of the workers to reach a ceiling fixture. Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity to be caretaker of the Bible.
The Bible is big!! It's about 9 ½ " x 11 ½ " x 3" thick. I looked through the book and lo and behold, I found handwritten entries for William Gooderham's family! I was stunned! The Bible itself was published in Boston by Robert H. Sherburne, 1848. It is leather bound, but the front cover has completely separated from the binding and the spine is detached from the binding.

(December 1, 2002) -- We want to thank our readers for their loyalty and support, evident in the number of people who've visited our front page during the past week seeking news. They found a greyed page indicating a death had occurred in the publisher's family.
In October, we advised our subscribers that a serious family illness prevented us from providing our usual coverage. We were inundated by emails with heartfelt expressions of support. We thank you for them, each and every one.
The publisher's mother, Erica, was blessed with 82 years, far more than many. She drew her last breath last week surrounded by those who loved her.
Since the early 1990s, drawing every breath was a struggle for Erica. Congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias -- serious enough by themselves -- were worsened by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which effectively turned her lungs to cardboard.
Spasms of breathlessness first began with walking, then came when standing, then sitting, then talking, then eating. One pill became many, and inhalers turned to nebulizers which turned into oxygen tanks. Her world shrank from travel, to car, to home, to living room, to bedroom, to tethered oxygen. We came to do more and more of the things for her that she could no longer do for herself. When lifting a fork became an exertion, we fed her. When salt in processed foods sent fluid to her damaged lungs, we cooked from scratch. These were the least difficult among a world of growing indignities.
Tests also revealed a spot on her lung that doctors believed was lung cancer, untreatable in her weakened condition.
Is it possible anyone could rationalize inflicting such illnesses on innocent people to maintain pecuniary benefits for themselves?
Ships burn some of the dirtiest fuel in the world, containing up to 20,000 parts per million of sulfur. That is 40 times more than the amount allowed in diesel fuel for trucks and other equipment in California. ...Toxic emissions from diesel-powered ships, trucks and other equipment in the port area are the primary reason why nearby communities have some of the highest cancer risks in the region due to air pollution.
AQMD's Multiple Air Toxics Exposure Study (MATES II) in 2000 found that air pollution in the port area was responsible for a cancer risk of more than 1 in 1,000. On average, 70 percent of the cancer risk from air pollution is due to diesel particulate emissions, the study found.
LBReport.com has reported details of the AQMD MATES-II (Multiple Air Toxics Exposure Study) study when (to date of this posting) other LB media outlets have not. The AQMD study projects an increased cancer risk for most of LB over a lifetime attributable to air pollution from the port area. It says roughly 70% of the cancer risk from air pollution stems from diesel particulate emissions. It indicates the cancer risk from airborne toxics in much of LB over a lifetime is worse than in refinery adjacent areas of the southbay.
The AQMD's study is especially chilling because it is a conservative estimate of port and diesel health impacts. The MATES-II study only deals with future cancer deaths, not future COPD deaths...meaning the full human toll is understated. LBReport.com maintains permanent links to the MATES-II study and its airborne toxics cancer risk maps on our front page.
With the exception of LBReport.com, the AQMD MATES-II study received scant substantive news coverage by LB media, with occasional commentary references by some. Efforts by local activists to draw attention to its damning details were generally brushed off by LB's establishment.
Eventually LB area activists including Diana Mann (ECO-link) and Don May (California Earth Corps) made the Press-Telegram's front page by organizing a mock funeral to put a human face on port pollution. This event also drew the attention of L.A. media (TV and print outlets) and made the human toll visible. We were unable to cover this important story at the time due to Erica's illness and we do not want its significance lost now.
For much of this year, Ms. Mann has tirelessly dragged a posterboard version of the MATES-II cancer risk map to events all over LB. She regularly refers to its high risk cancer area as a "diesel death zone." At public hearings, she puts the map in the faces of mortified Harbor Commissioners and Councilmembers. And of course, she brought the map to the mock funeral where TV stations showed it as part of their news reports.
Mr. May has been sounding the alarm about increasing COPD deaths for years. Now armed with additional data, he has begun amplifying his public testimony with numbers that make local officials cringe. By applying simple mathematics to AQMD and other agency figures, Mr. May has derived estimated numbers of people he believes will die from cancer and COPD as a result diesel particulates. The future human death toll stuns even the most jaded listeners.
All of this has paralyzed LB officials, although it shouldn't. LB is a big part of the problem and should be a big part of the solution.
LB lets ships burn cheap, filthy fuel while docked at the Port. LB knows cargo goes onto diesel trucks that spew particulate poisons into LB neighborhoods.
Local environmentalists have offered constructive solutions to these problems. LB officialdom has mainly ignored them thus far, but we predict that eventually (as with the L.A. river), LB's establishment will come to recognize the common sense in cleaner, smarter ways of doing business.
To our knowledge, no one at the Port of Long Beach has deigned to offer a substantive reply to these constructive suggestions. If they did, we'd report it. We don't know if Earth Corps' suggestions are meritorious or full of beans, but if even some of them hold water they should be vigorously pursued without delay.
To resist this is to be on the wrong side of history. In 1999, after near endless discussions, the AQMD amended one of its rules and put restrictions on uncovered, polluting piles of petroleum coke at the Ports of LB and L.A. To his credit, Assemblyman Alan Lowenthal, a former LB Councilman whose Council district included the Port of LB, moved swiftly to foreclose any future attempt to weaken the AQMD rule, authoring legislation that required covering the coke piles by a date certain...and hastening that date. This law, which will save lives by keeping coke dust out of peoples' lungs, will almost certainly be Alan Lowenthal's most enduring legacy.
This year, Councilmembers Dan Baker and Bonnie Lowenthal, both of whom represent Port areas, agendized and won Council support for then pending legislation (authored by Alan Lowenthal) to reduce truck idling times in the Port. This was a watershed event, showing a Council no longer willing to be subservient to the Port's rent paying tenants. Despite self-embarrassing Port opposition, the net effect was an amended bill that accomplished the legislative goal.
The Council needs to build on this momentum. Some thoughtful Councilmember(s) should agendize Mr. May's pollution reducing proposals and move that they be given serious study...and not by the Port's bureaucracy but by independent parties the Council chooses.
Councilmembers are supposed to protect their constituents' health and safety. If any Councilmember thinks the pecuniary interests of Port tenants should trump this, they shouldn't be on the Council.
The City Council is not powerless over the Port. Under the City Charter, the Council votes annually to approve (or disapprove) the Port's budget. The Council should begin attaching conditions to its future approval, including assurances that the Port won't oppose legislation that the Council supports...and will implement meaningful anti-pollution measures.
Yes, the Port currently kicks up to 10% of its revenue into the City's general fund, but we believe the Port is still imposing more costs than it's paying for. We'd prefer a Council focused on reducing Port damages and pursuing reimbursement -- in full -- for Port imposed costs. Other cities balance their budgets without being propped up by a Port. If LB were better governed, it could do likewise, but since LB has a double-digit deficit (caused by Councilmembers spending more than they're taking in), Port dollars can't be turned down.
But that doesn't prevent LB's Port from doing the right thing. If some Port tenants produce significant pollution, their rents should be raised to a level sufficient to deter present dirty practices and fund implementation of new, cleaner ones. If LB Port tenants don't like this, let them try docking in Hawaii.
We also believe in appropriate social opprobrium. With all due respect to Harbor Commissioners personally, in our opinion a Board that has done so little while our Port has become part of our area's largest pollution source is an embarrassment in need of correction. We think incumbent Harbor Commissioners need to hear this in blunt terms from LB residents and business leaders, in public, in private, whenever and wherever the opportunity arises.
On this, the Mayor and Council must draw the line: their constituents' lives come before some corporation's containers.
If Congress won't fund needed Port security, Port tenants should pay to address security risks that their containerized cargo creates. Yes, this means consumers will ultimately pay. Yes.
This is intellectually honest and far better than what Boston and NY-NJ Port authorities did at their airports...when they ignored tenants' security gaps and helped deliver mass deaths.
On November 26, Mayor Beverly O'Neill (at Councilwoman Jackie Kell's request) adjourned the evening's City Council meeting in Erica's memory. This was very kind and sincerely appreciated, thank you.
But saving lives is better than memorializing them. LB should not be a town where paying rent to the Port grants an entitlement to risk residents' health and safety.
LB city government has a duty to prevent dangers to people resulting from operations at this city's Port. This shouldn't be controversial. If it is, it's the least we can do to ensure others don't suffer Erica's illnesses...or the fate of those on 9-11-01.

Stanley Cup Champion LA Kings outfit world class training center with CuVerro®
About CuVerro › News › Read More
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. -- As part of a renovation to the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo, California, the 2012 and 2014 Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings have installed Black Iron Strength® dumbbells and attachments made with CuVerro® in their strength and training facility.
"Chris Kingsley, the head athletic trainer of the LA Kings called me," says Tom Grace, President Black Iron Strength and Grace Premier Fitness. "I sent him the research about the CuVerro bactericidal properties and he reviewed all of it. Manufactured entirely in the U.S., from the time the order was placed to installation it took only 8 weeks including the customization that was required."
Black Iron Strength high end strength training equipment is the only fitness product line featuring CuVerro® bactericidal copper gripping surfaces. CuVerro bactericidal touch surfaces continuously kill 99% of infectious bacteria*. An EPA-registered copper alloy surface, the inherent properties of CuVerro have been proven effective 24/7, never washing out or wearing away.
"Our objective is to further minimize the exposure of bacteria in our training spaces and having dumbbells with CuVerro copper handles made huge sense in upgrading our equipment," says Matt Price, LA Kings head strength and conditioning coach. "The net reduction of the spread of bacteria is our goal as we look to minimize athlete's time lost unnecessarily to illness."
"Anything a strength coach or trainer can do to lower the probability of athlete sickness and infections is worth paying attention to. It can literally cost millions," Mr. Grace says. Many inquiries have stemmed from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers MRSA outbreak last year in which three Tampa Bay Bucs have not played pro football since.
"Any virus or bacteria, the flu or even small cuts makes one susceptible to illness. Coupled with immune systems being compromised because of all the travel athletes endure – the probability of getting sick is higher. Living and working out together in close quarters increases susceptibility and hand hygiene is particularly important. That's where free weight systems and equipment comes into play," Mr. Grace adds. Just two weeks ago the Anaheim Ducks sidelined two players including goals leader Corey Perry after being diagnosed with the mumps.
*Laboratory testing shows that, when cleaned regularly, CuVerro surfaces kill greater than 99.9% of the following bacteria within 2 hours of exposure: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli O157:H7, and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE).The use of CuVerro® antimicrobial copper products is a supplement to and not a substitute for standard infection control practices; users must continue to follow all current infection control practices, including those practices related to cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces. This surface has been shown to reduce microbial contamination, but it does not necessarily prevent cross contamination.

Second Woman Accuses Al Franken of Sexual Misconduct /
Second Woman Accuses Al Franken of Sexual Misconduct
Brad Reed
A second woman has come forward to accuse Sen. Al Franken of inappropriately touching her.
CNN reports that 33-year-old Lindsay Menz, now a resident of Frisco, Texas, claims that Franken grabbed her buttocks inappropriately in 2010 while she was attending a Minnesota State Fair.
Menz said that she and her husband met Franken at the fair, and she asked her husband to snap a photo of the two of them.
"[Franken] pulled me in really close, like awkward close, and as my husband took the picture, he put his hand full-fledged on my rear," Menz tells CNN. "It was wrapped tightly around my butt cheek. It wasn't around my waist. It wasn't around my hip or side. It was definitely on my butt."
Menz said that the interaction with Franken made her feel violated.
"I felt gross," she told CNN. "It'd be like being walking through the mall and some random person grabbing your butt. You just feel gross. Like ew, I want to wash that off of me."
"I was upset," said husband Jeremy Menz after the incident. "I wasn't happy about it in the least. He was already gone and I wasn't going to confront him. But yeah — I was in shock, really."
Franken's office says that the senator has no recollection about his interaction with Menz, but it said that he felt sorry that she came away from their interaction feeling disrespected.
This is the first woman to come forward and accuse Franken of groping her while he was a U.S. Senator. Last week, Leeann Tweeden alleged that Franken inappropriately tried to kiss her and then had a photo taken of himself groping her breasts while she slept when the two were on a USO tour together in 2006.

Linus Torvalds slams social media, calls Facebook and Instagram a "disease"
He stated that social media is all geared to the reverse of quality control… and to generate an emotional response, often one of moral outrage.
By Cindy Harper
In a recent interview with an award-winning journalist, Robert Young, Linus Torvalds, the developer of Linux, shared his thoughts about the one thing he would love to fix about the networked world.
According to Torvalds, he dislikes modern "social media," the likes of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and much more – calling social media a disease because they seem to encourage bad behavior.
In Linus' viewpoint, the email also shares part of this 'disease' because it all involves the use of the internet where both parties aren't talking face to face:
I absolutely detest modern "social media"—Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. It's a disease. It seems to encourage bad behavior.
I think part of it is something that email shares too, and that I've said before: "On the internet, nobody can hear you being subtle". When you're not talking to somebody face to face, and you miss all the normal social cues, it's easy to miss humor and sarcasm, but it's also very easy to overlook the reaction of the recipient, so you get things like flame wars, etc., that might not happen as easily with face-to-face interaction.
But according to Torvalds, email isn't that bad in encouraging bad behavior. In the interview, Linus said that the email still works because both parties on opposite sides still have to put in the effort to write the email, and there's generally some actual content.
But email still works. You still have to put in the effort to write it, and there's generally some actual content (technical or otherwise). The whole "liking" and "sharing" model is just garbage. There is no effort and no quality control. In fact, it's all geared to the reverse of quality control, with lowest common denominator targets, and click-bait, and things designed to generate an emotional response, often one of moral outrage.
Torvalds said that the email is decent, unlike social media where people have developed the art of 'liking, commenting, and sharing.'
Torvalds also thinks that there is both no effort and quality control in social media. He stated that social media is all geared to the reverse of quality control… and to generate an emotional response, often one of moral outrage.
The other evil with social media, according to Linus, is interaction in anonymity, when users don't even put their real name on the 'garbage' they like or share.
Add in anonymity, and it's just disgusting. When you don't even put your real name on your garbage (or the garbage you share or like), it really doesn't help.
I'm actually one of those people who thinks that anonymity is overrated. Some people confuse privacy and anonymity and think they go hand in hand, and that protecting privacy means that you need to protect anonymity. I think that's wrong. Anonymity is important if you're a whistle-blower, but if you cannot prove your identity, your crazy rant on some social-media platform shouldn't be visible, and you shouldn't be able to share it or like it.
Linus said he is among the people who think that anonymity is overrated. He also mentioned the confusion that arises among social media users who confuse privacy and anonymity.

Personal goal setting template made by my dear friend L§T.
When it comes to goal setting there are several methods. There is no right or wrong way. It's individual, whatever works best for you might be different from what works best for your best friend. Despite that, there are guidelines we can follow. I've collected those in our personal goal setting template. What's more important than how you discover your goal and set it is how to achieve it. To make your goal more achievable there are several things you can do. Let's start with the things in my personal goal setting template.
You should definitely make sure your goals are specific. Having a vague goal, especially a huge one will often become overwhelming. The more specific the goal is the easier it is to know where to start and to see the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. To give your subconscious clear directions and drop chances of feeling overwhelmed. This can be done by making sure your goals are specific.
The second thing to make sure is that the aim of the goal is inline with your mission or purpose. This is the time where you work on your why. Ask yourself questions like why is this goal important to me? Or by accomplishing this, what does that grant me? To strengthen the will to follow through. Motivation often comes from motive, in other words why you want to do it. By making sure you know why this goal is important to you, you are in turn giving yourself a reason why it has to be done. There are also times when you can't find a solid aim, in that case I would give it up and set up a different goal.
Third part of the personal goal setting template is attainability. How will you know when you have achieved this goal? If you don't make sure you have a clear finish line then how will you know the marathon is over? If there's no finish line then how will you reach the goal? It's easy to stay motivated and disciplined once you know exactly how far you have to go. But if it's too vague it can feel like you are fighting for nothing and you will soon run out of steam.
There's no such thing as not having enough time, if something is important enough you make sure you create the time. So this step of the personal goal setting template serves as a reminder for you to prioritise. If reaching your goals are the most important thing for you, how much time can you find to work on reaching there? Are there things you are prioritising way too high that you could cut down on? Spending time on social media or Netflix that you could cut by half to gain more time to work on your goals? If you prioritise social media over reaching your goals, You need to re-think your priorities or find a goal that feels more important to you.
This part of the personal goal setting template was inspired by Tim Ferris. He talks about the term MED in his book 4-hour workweek. M.E.D. means the Minimal Effective Dose. it refers to the minimum time and effort required to get average to good results. Often spending 1 hour doing something can get you good results. While the learning curve plateaus rather quickly. Thus you might have to spend 10 hours to get those good results into great results. In this case the M.E.D. would be spending 1 hour.
This is also applicable to things such as goals and routines. For example if you want to create a routine for working out on a daily basis. You might set your bar really low, let's say that your daily workout goal is 2 pushups/day. By setting a goal thats accomplishable even with minimum effort, that makes it easy to follow through. Even everyday which lets you build routines easily. It is also very simple to keep doing ten more pushups while you're at it isn't it? While we all have bad days where you can push through these two pushups and then get back to bed.
What obstacles might you face during your pursuit of this goal? During this step of the personal goal setting template you can prepare yourself for the worst case scenario. If you are already prepared for and have a way to counteract the worst thing that could happen then nothing can stop you. It is also important you get rid of distractions. Often your willpower and discipline are limited resources and making it as easy as possible to stay focused and on path will help you.
Your brain has a built in reward system. It provides you with a great feeling whenever you do something "good" in the form of dopamine. This is enough of a reward for you to want to keep going. With our phones and social media we also get these bursts of dopamine without any effort. This creates a resistance to dopamine and won't give you the great reward you so thirst for when you reach a goal. Thus a great idea is to give yourself external rewards. this will strengthen the positive feeling that you get from getting progress. Buy yourself a gift when you reach the goal. Or eat some sweet watermelon once you're done with your daily pushups. This will strengthen the positive anchoring towards getting stuff done. Train yourself like you would a dog. Punish yourself if you fail and reward yourself if you succeed. That's how you can create new associations in your brain which will help you achieve more in the future.
This personal goal setting template is effective once you already know what it is that you want. But if you have no idea what goals you want to reach, what your passion or mission is then this won't help you very much. so I'm obligated to go through two methods that I've used to find out what I want out of life. Start with answering this question: If anything was possible, where would I see myself in 10 years enjoying every day of it? Once you have an answer to this you can move on to trying one or both of the methods I use to develop an action plan.
You start with the position you want to have in the future (Even if you don't believe it's a possibility. If you aim for the impossible you might land at the edge of possibility which is better than landing on average). Write down this position or lifestyle you wish on the top of a piece of paper (or a word document). Then you must think backwards: if this was achievable, what would have to happen to lead up to that point? What you do is you backtrack your progress. Look at people who have achieved the thing you want, what did they do that led up to it? What did they do to get to the position where the possibility existed?
Through asking such questions you will create a step by step action plan. By looking backwards one step at a time from the goal you wish to achieve back to the current moment. After that you can proceed to clarify all steps with the personal goal setting template.
You start with answering the question: What do I want to do? Then the questions: Why do I want to do it? And How can I do it? This will provide you with an aim with motive behind it. You will now know where you are heading. Why you are going there and how to get there. All that's left is for you to use the personal goal setting template to make the goals more efficient. And then get to work right? The problem with short term goals like these are that they are easily achievable. Thus often leave you feeling empty once you reach them. So it's important to always have another, higher or more challenging goal to aim for. This is simple and you can do it by asking one question: What's next? When you achieve the goal, then what? What will you do after that? And once you've figured out what's next, why that's next and how you can reach it. Then ask again: once you reach that goal, what's next?
You get the point. It's a way to set up several layers of short term goals so that you won't run out of things to aim for. It will get rid of that empty feeling you get from reaching a goal. Since you now know that there are still things to do. Don't forget to enjoy your success because you have a bigger goal tho. Remember the Rewards part of the personal goal setting template. It's important to feel good about your progress so that you can train yourself to get more progress.


Blazed in the Cappadocian victor's hand?
And the vines shrivelled in the breath of war.
The victor cried, "to Heaven's decree!
In Colchian mines by Phasis rolling dark."
"Woe! woe! The gods are sleepless-eyed!"
The lords of Chios into exile went.
"The gods at last pay well,"
The Chian hath his master bought;"
Took up and sped the mocking parable.

St Albans fights Luton Airport's increased night flights
Published: 3:19 PM February 14, 2013 Updated: 2:47 PM November 1, 2020
Luton Airport - Credit: Archant
A ST Albans campaign group formed to fight Luton Airport's expansion push has joined counterparts county-wide to launch a petition calling for a significant drop in night flights.
Residents only have until Monday February 18 to lodge comments on the airport's plan to double passenger numbers to 18 million a year.
Local groups including Hertfordshire Against Luton Expansion (HALE), Save Our Skies St Albans (SOS) and Luton and District Association for the Control of Aircraft Noise (LADACAN) have banded together to argue that as Luton is a city airport, it should be regulated as such.
Under the proposed expansion plans, flights at night would increase by around 50 per cent, with about 80 flights between 11pm and 7am in peak summer periods.
Spokesman for the groups Andrew Lambourne, of Flamstead, said that local residents have complained about nuisance noise from planes during the evening, as it is keeping children awake and disturbing sleep in the early hours.
He said that the World Health Organisation links night noise nuisance with ill health.
Other airports located near big towns or cities have night noise curfews.
Andrew said that submitting a planning application proposing to double the late night arrivals between 10pm and midnight and starting early departures at 5am showed that Luton was not taking people's concerns seriously.
MP for Hitchin and Harpenden Peter Lilley, along with politicians in neighbouring areas, has voiced his support for the petition, the link for which can be found at the top right of this page.
Harpenden town council is urging residents to submit comments on the application, before it is too late.
The scheme is on Luton borough council's website – application number 12/01400/FUL
Cllr Nicola Linacre, Harpenden Mayor, said: "The airport expansion is going to have a significant impact upon Harpenden. We therefore want to ensure that residents are aware of what is being planned and where possible comment accordingly."
