We now live in a country in which corporations make extraordinary profits and spend more to remunerate their CEOs and to engage in lobbying than they pay in federal taxes.
That's the conclusion of a new report by the Institute for Policy Studies, "Executive Excess 2011" [pdf].
Guns don't kill people, the old saw goes. People do.
By the same token, corporations don't dodge taxes. People do. The people who run corporations. And these people — America's CEOs — are reaping awesomely lavish rewards for the tax dodging they have their corporations do.
In fact, corporate tax dodging has gone so out of control that 25 major U.S. corporations last year paid their chief executives more than they paid Uncle Sam in federal income taxes.
As I've explained before, during the Great Depression of the 1930s, the Works Progress Administration provided paid jobs for millions of unemployed men and women. Private capitalism couldn't or wouldn't generate enough jobs to keep the jobless ranks from swelling. Therefore, the state had to step in, in the form of the New Deal, to provide gainful employment (at market wages) for millions of people.
During the Second Great Depression, government employment has actually been shrinking.
Local and state governments axed more than 200,000 jobs in 2010, according to U.S. Census data released on Tuesday that showed the growing threat of public employee layoffs to the economic recovery.
The usual argument is that mainstream economists, because they do science, hold the key to unlocking the gates of economic knowledge. Therefore, all of other economic theories—nonmainstream, heterodox economics—can be ignored or eliminated from the discipline.
Well, to judge by the recent 4th Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau, Germany, mainstream economics is in a pretty sorry state.
It takes a Nobel laureate to talk about banks, hedge funds and financial intermediation for half an hour without even mentioning the current financial crisis. Myron Scholes, the creator of the Black-Scholes formula who received the prize in 1997, accomplished this amazing achievement last week in Lindau, Germany.
Scholes wasn't the only top-notch economist at the 4th meeting of economic Nobel laureates who apparently had not realised that the world is enduring the worst financial and economic crisis since the great depression.
Robert Aumann even described the current state of the world economy as "pretty good". . .
Laureates who bothered to acknowledge the crisis gave rather contradictory advice. Frequently, they did it in a way that wasn't really digestible even for most of the 360 young economists who flocked to Lindau from all over the world.
A telling moment was the lecture of Roger Myerson. The 2007 laureate presented a theoretical model on moral hazard in the financial industry that yields some interesting conclusions. However, his lecture was so technical that Myerson lost most of his audience very quickly. After about 20 minutes, he cracked a joke but only a handful of people of the 300 people attending the speech were laughing.
The White River washed away the town's electric substation, cutting off power at about 3 p.m. Sunday. A mountain brook at the north end of the village turned into a torrent that swept away one house entirely and undermined the foundation of a second. One section of town, West Rochester, was cut off from the village when a bridge collapsed on Vermont 73, [Sandy] Haas [a resident and the area's state representative] said.
The town's water system was working, driven by a generator, but water had to be boiled — an impossibility with no power to homes.
In the absence of help from the outside, Rochester residents helped each other.
He said as many as 300 people came to a town meeting Monday and to a second meeting Tuesday, after they were alerted by volunteers who went door to door.
The town's general store opened Monday to give away its perishable food.
Four restaurants were providing meals to residents, and volunteers at the Federated Church collected enough food to offer lunch Tuesday.
With the bridges out in Pittsfield, Vermont, and its 400 residents marooned, Wall Street trader Scott Redler took matters into his own hands: He hired a helicopter and was back home in New Jersey yesterday afternoon.
Redler's family were weekend wedding guests when Hurricane Irene's heavy rains pushed the Tweed River over its banks, smashing at least 20 homes. With his 65-year-old mother running out of medicine, Redler, T3Live.com's chief strategist, found a pilot charging $7,000 for the rescue.
Eric Cantor, the No. 2 House Republican, is pressing for budget cuts to cover the cost of cleaning up after Hurricane Irene and other disasters. . .
As Senator Bernard Sanders toured Vermont by helicopter on Tuesday to assess the damage from what he said could be his state's worst-ever natural disaster, the idea of cutting other federal programs to aid towns pummeled by Hurricane Irene was stoking his outrage.
"To say that the only way you can come up with funding to rebuild devastated communities is to cut back on other desperately needed programs is totally absurd," said Mr. Sanders, an independent, responding to a call by leading Republicans to balance any financial relief with spending reductions elsewhere. "Historically in this country we have understood that when communities and states experience disasters, we as a nation come together to address those.
"That is what being a nation is about," he said in an interview.


Researchers and supporters of a program that helps farmers run cleaner and more efficient operations say they were "stunned" and "blindsided" by Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to cut a third of the project's funding.
Discovery Farms, a UW-Extension program that dates to 2001, applies science from a "plows-on" level, evaluates and monitors efforts by state farmers to control runoff, calibrate fertilizer use and employ techniques to conserve land and water.
It has a $750,000 budget, of which $248,000 would be cut in the governor's proposed state budget.
UW-Extension officials noted the loss affects longstanding projects and the ability of the small program to leverage crucial additional grants and funds.
"We would have a 1.2-employee reduction of staff and we would pull back some of our sampling efforts, water quality analysis and a project (set) for Rock County," said Amber Radatz, project co-director.
The project's programs include monitoring 20 state farms and educating thousands of farmers on conservation strategies.
The $248,000 comes from a surcharge on farm chemical sales that would be discontinued.
The governor's office declined to provide a specific response to the Discovery Farms reduction, instead issuing a general statement about independence for the UW System.
The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation, a statewide farm support association, was puzzled by the proposed cuts to agricultural research and noted specifically "the innovative on-farm work" of Discovery Farms in its response to the budget.
Deleting the related fertilizer surcharge also drew the attention of the Farm Bureau.
The proposal deletes the "research fees" of 27 cents per ton on fertilizer and 10 cents per ton on plant or soil additives. That money finances the Fertilizer Research Council and related projects researching soil management, plant nutrition problems, and surface water and groundwater problems that are related to fertilizer use. In 2013-14, those fees brought $280,000 to the UW System for research and $166,300 to UW-Extension for outreach, sums separate from the funding for Discovery Farms.
The loss of those fees in addition to a 13 percent reduction on the base budget means UW-Extension — like many university services — "will be trying very hard to preserve our positions and our people doing education programming and applied research," said John Shutske, UW-Extension agriculture and natural resources program director and associate dean at UW-Madison's College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.
"We're looking at open positions and other efficiencies, travel reductions," he said.
The irony of the timing of the proposed cut is that some entities that pay those fees recently voted to increase them, Shutske said.
"Discovery Farms has tremendous support from the ag community. It's the only program of its type in the state and deeply engages farmers in their actual work," Shutske said. "It's the only research in this state that looks at what happens at an individual-field level when you change nutrient application practices.
"Farmers learn best practices from the experiences of other farmers. The whole program is predicated on that, and even a partial loss of capacity will hamper gathering some really important knowledge," he said.

How to Dispute a Police Report in California?
How to Challenging a Police Report?
When a police officer files a report about an alleged criminal incident, it carries a lot of weight with prosecutors, and significantly increases the chances that charges will be filed against the named individuals. If there are any possible criminal charges that will be filed, a person should hire a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
The veracity of the allegations in police reports is rarely questioned, which understandably creates the feeling that challenging the police officer's statement is nearly impossible. However, a recent news story out of central California, about a man arrested on narcotics and weapons charges, demonstrates that police reports can be contested and that California law has a procedure in place to do so.
The existence of such a procedure to challenge police reports reflects the state's recognition that police are not always right. Given that false police reports can lead to an innocent person going to jail or prison, understanding when and how to challenge one is important information to know. A discussion of several approaches for contesting the contents of a police report will follow below.
Investigation and Cross-Examination at Trial
A police officer's report is often one of the foundational aspects of the State's case in criminal prosecution. Thus, exposing the contents as false can completely undermine the prosecutor's efforts.
Experienced criminal defense attorneys will know that if the possibility exists a police officer filed a false report, a private investigator should be hired to uncover evidence of the report's false claims. Once confirmation of the report's false claims is found, this information can be used to convince the prosecutor to drop the case.
In addition, the legitimacy of a police report can be challenged within the trial itself. A standard aspect of most criminal trials involves the investigating or arresting police officer testifying about his/her knowledge of the case.
Skilled criminal defense attorneys will know how to effectively question the officer to elicit testimony that contradicts or conflicts with what is written in the police report. This type of attack will throw a lot of doubt onto the State's case, and make it unlikely they can prove guilt.
How Can I File a Complaint?
Another way to create uncertainty in the prosecution's case is to file a complaint against the police officer with the police department. Few accused of a crime would go the trouble to file a complaint if there was no real basis for challenging the officer's report.
If the department sees enough merit to take the complaint seriously, the complaint can be used as leverage to convince the prosecutor to reduce the charges or drop the case. Alternatively, if the case makes it to trial, claims by the defense that the officer lied in the report are likely to be given more weight by the jury if a complaint was filed as well.
How to Request Petition to See Personnel Records?
In addition, California allows defendants to request access to a police officer's personnel records, called a Pitchess Motion, to see if other people reported similar misconduct by filing false reports. This information can be used by the defense to show a pattern of providing false information by an officer and to gather a list of potential witnesses to call at trial that can testify about the past misconduct.
Basically, this request is made when there is a belief that the officer's wrongful actions had a significant impact on the charges filed against a person, and personnel records can provide evidence there is a history of bad behavior. Depending on what the review of the personnel file turns up, this evidence could be used to suppress evidence or dismiss the charges.
Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney to Dispute a Police Report
Criminal charges should never be taken lightly. If you expect to be or have been charged with a crime, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side to challenge the prosecutor's case.

The Leadership, Management, & Governance Project, which aims to improve leadership, management and governance practices to strengthen health systems and improve health for all, played a key roles at recent events around the world. In November, the LMG Project attended multiple events including two key events on family planning and the health workforce. Below are brief recaps.
The Third Global Forum on Human Resources for Health, hosted by the Global Health Workforce Alliance (GHWA) November 10-13 in Recife, Brazil, brought together policy makers, experts in the health workforce, and frontline health workers to focus on Human Resources for Health: foundation for Universal Health Coverage and the post-2015 development agenda. Along with lead partner Management Sciences for Health (MSH), the LMG Project lead a session entitled, Developing Leadership for Managing and Governing Universal Health Care (UHC): Innovations and Evidence from the Field. Deputy Project Director Xavier Alterescu blogged from the event about the opening ceremony and the drive by the international community to bring Universal Health Coverage (UHC) to life. Mr. Alterescu later continued with a recap of a fascinating panel session on public-private partnerships to advance human resources for health. The forum ended with a presentation on the conference outcomes and added questions on how to better represent women in senior management roles. During the forum, LMG partner The African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) received a Partner award for their effort in promoting long lasting changes in health in Africa.
The LMG Project also attended the 2013 International Family Planning Conference held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from November 12th to the 15th, 2013. Hosted by The Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Federal Ministry of Health of Ethiopia with a multitude of international and national partners. Sarah Lindsay, Technical Officer for the LMG Project, wrote of the many panels and discussions held during the conference. LMG and partner, the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), presented at a pre-conference event our newest publication, "An Open Mind and a Hard Back: Conversations with African Women Leaders". Ms. Lindsay later wrote of the opening ceremony and the themes to be discussed during the week. LMG had conducted a few side events during the conference: a Youth Leadership Workshop on Family Planning and a presentation on the IBP consortium's Guide to Fostering Change to Scale Up Effective Health Services. The conference's closing event, focused on good governance and the accountability needed in the post-MDG agenda.

The Alaska Nanooks men's ice hockey team is a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I college ice hockey program that represents the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The Nanooks are an Independent program. They play at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks, Alaska.

History

Early history (1925–1973)
Varsity hockey at Alaska-Fairbanks began in 1925. The team played four games during the inaugural 1925–26 season and finished the season with a 3–1–0 record despite having no coach. The program returned in 1932 and for three additional seasons the team operated without a coach as an independent collegiate program. Alfred Bastress joined the Nanooks in 1937 and became the program's first head coach. Bastress led the Nanooks for four seasons. The team played the 1939–40 season again with no coach and Joe Gerlach coached the team during the 1941–42 season, splitting both games the team played that season. The program was suspended during World War II and returned for the 1949–50 season.

The team went through six coaches through the 1950s before Bill Daltri took over behind the bench in 1960. Daltri led the Nanooks for three seasons, including some of the most successful seasons of the early history of the program. In 1960–61 Daltri's Nanooks finished with a record of 14–2–0 and in the 1961–62 season the team finished 10–1–1. In his final season as head coach Daltri's Nanooks won all 8 games of the 1962–63 season. The program would go through another period of coaching turnovers, going through 9 coaches in a ten-year period from 1963–1973.

Division II era (1973–1984)
Following the 1972–73 season the program moved from the University Division to NCAA Division II, when the different levels became numerically organized. Between '74 and '80 the Nanooks played just two seasons as a varsity program and continued to have trouble scheduling opponents. After a reinvestment in the program, Ric Schafer took over as head coach in 1980 and began to build the Nanooks into a respectable team. After winning just twice in his first two seasons, Schafer got the team to post a program-record 19 wins in 1983 and then produce back-to-back 20+ win seasons immediately afterwards. In 1984, the entire Division II ice hockey level collapsed and, while most programs dropped down to Division III, Alaska promoted the ice hockey team to Division I.

Great West Hockey Conference and independence (1985–1994)
After a year as an independent program, The Nanooks joined with in-state rival Alaska-Anchorage as well as U.S. International University (San Diego) and Northern Arizona University (Flagstaff, Arizona) to form the Great West Hockey Conference.

Though small to begin with, the GWHC shrunk when Northern Arizona suspended their varsity program after the first season. The conference lasted just three years in total, but it was long enough for Alaska's new head coach, Don Lucia, to lead the team to its first ever conference title in 1988.

U.S. International followed Northern Arizona into ice hockey oblivion in 1988, leaving the two Alaska schools to play as independents for several years. With Alaska being so far away from most other Division I programs, the NCAA does not include any games played against either school as part of a team's game limit during the season. This enabled Alaska to survive during the early 1990s and post three separate 20-win seasons.

CCHA / WCHA (1994–2021)

in 1994, while Anchorage joined the WCHA, Alaska was invited to participate as an affiliate member of the CCHA. While none of their games were counted in the conference standings, the stabilization of their schedule provided a solid footing for the Nanooks to build their program.

Dave Laurion, who had replaced Lucia in 1993, led Alaska for their early tenure in the CCHA but couldn't get the team out of the cellar. Guy Gadowsky was brought in in 1999 and raised the profile of the Nanooks after a few lean years. Gadowsky left to take over at Princeton in 2004 and the program began to slip back down the standings until Dallas Ferguson was introduced in 2008. In just his second season with the program, Ferguson led the Nanooks to their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance and kept the team in good standing for most of his 9-years with the program.

2011 saw significant changes for the program, beginning with the announcement by the Big Ten Conference that it would begin sponsoring men's ice hockey in 2013. While that would cause three teams from the CCHA to leave for their primary conference, Miami joined with five other schools from the WCHA to form a separate conference, the NCHC. The CCHA disintegration continued when Northern Michigan was approved for membership in the WCHA, and the conference began scrambling to find a way to survive.

On August 23, 2011 members of the WCHA and CCHA met in Chicago, Illinois in reaction to the realignment. Afterwards, the WCHA sent invitations to the five remaining CCHA schools and Alaska quickly accepted the invitation to join the league for the 2013–14 season.

Later in the year, administrative officials at Alaska discovered that the school had failed to properly monitor the academic eligibility of several players from multiple sports dating back to 2007. The violations were immediately brought to the attention of the NCAA and an investigation began to determine the size and scope of the failure. In 2014 the NCAA concluded their findings and determined that UAF was 'lacking in institutional control' and had failed to update an 'inadequate compliance system' despite warnings to that effect. The majority of the violations were from players either not declaring a major, not accruing enough credits towards their declared major(s) or junior college transfers failing to meet academic eligibility standards. The school admitted guilt and was required to pay a fine, suspend several scholarships and forfeit all wins and ties in games where ineligible players participated. As a result, the ice hockey program now has no wins from 2007–08 through the 2011–12 season and was forced to vacate their lone NCAA tournament appearance in 2010. Alaska was also ruled ineligible for participation during the 2015 postseason.

The second decade of the 20th century continued to be unkind to the Nanooks; despite finishing with winning records during several seasons, Alaska lost every single playoff round they participated in from 2011 through 2020. In 2019, seven teams from the WCHA announced that they would be leaving the conference to form a more geographically-cohesive conference. With Alaska being approximately 3,000 miles away from the nearest opponent (excluding Anchorage) the Nanooks were in jeopardy of returning to independent status. Then, as if to add insult to injury, Alaska was forced to cancel its entire 2020-21 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All of this was also happening under a cloud of financial hardship caused by state budget crunch. The funding for the program became so tenuous that a proposal was circulated to merge the Nanooks with the Seawolves in order to save money. The plan never came to pass but constraints eventually led to the temporary suspension of Alaska Anchorage's program.

Wilderness years (2021–present)
When Alaska returned to the ice in 2021, they did so as an independent. The only saving grace for their position was that they were not alone in that situation. Alaska was able to schedule several meetings with the other two conference-free programs (Arizona State and Long Island) and put together a solid season after a difficult start.

Brice Alaska Goal Rush

The Brice Alaska Goal Rush is one of two annual ice hockey tournaments (along with the Kendall Hockey Classic) that are traditionally played in the first two weeks of the NCAA Division-I season. The Kendall tournament opens the season, and the Alaska Goal Rush is played in the second week. The tournament is held at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks, Alaska, and is hosted by University of Alaska-Fairbanks hockey team.

The tournament takes place over two days and follows a round robin format. The hockey team from the University of Alaska-Anchorage is a regular participant and serves as an unofficial co-host, while two guest schools round out the tournament field every year. Each of the Alaska schools plays one game against the guest teams, but do not play against each other. The invitees do not square off either. The first criteria to determine place order are records, and then goal-differential in the event of any ties.

The tournament began in the fall of 2008, and its title is a play on the historical Alaska Gold Rush. Fairbanks has won the tournament four times (most recently in 2013), and Anchorage has won it twice. No guest team has been able to win the crown yet in its six-year history.

Season-by-season results

Coaches
Typically, Alaska has not had much luck in keeping their coaches for very long. The program has had 26 different head coaches in 69 seasons from 1925 to 2018 and played six of those years without a bench boss. This is not only the most overall for any Division I hockey team but it is among the lowest average (2.65 years) for any school in any sport. As of 2018 Dallas Ferguson was the longest-tenured coach in the history of the program, serving for 9 seasons.

Noël Joseph Auguste Delfosse (* 1801 in Lüttich; † 22. Februar 1858) war ein belgischer Politiker.

Biografie
Delfosse studierte die Rechte und ließ sich als Rechtsanwalt in seiner Vaterstadt nieder. Als Vertreter des Liberalismus wurde er nach der Lostrennung Belgiens von den Niederlanden erst in den Gemeinderat, 1836 zu dem Provinzialständeausschuss und 1840 zum Repräsentanten der Stadt Lüttich in die Kammer gewählt. Er behielt sein Mandat in ununterbrochener Folge, wurde 1848 zum Vizepräsidenten der Kammer erwählt und blieb in diesem Amte bis 1852. Sein entschiedener Charakter und seine überzeugende Rednergabe begründeten seinen politischen Einfluss in den Jahren 1848 und 1849, wo er hauptsächlich dahin wirkte, Belgien vor den Einflüssen der französischen Bewegung zu sichern. Damals sprach er in der Kammer sein berühmt gewordenes Wort: « La liberté française pour faire le tour du monde n'a pas besoin de passer par chez nous! »

1853 und 1854 nahm er den Präsidentenstuhl der Kammer ein, welchen er 1855 dem Kandidaten der Rechten räumte. Die Bildung eines neuen Ministeriums lehnte er zwei Mal, 1854 und 1855, ab. Nach dem Siege der liberalen Partei ehrte ihn das Ministerium Rogier-Frère am 12. November 1857 mit dem Titel eines Staatsministers, was ihn indes nicht hinderte, gegen die Maßnahmen des Ministeriums zu sprechen, welche ihm mit dem Liberalismus unvereinbar schienen. Er starb am 22. Februar 1858.

Marko—music lover, poet, and professional barber—just had a brilliant idea. It's the spring of 2009, and Marko hasn't had much luck lately. His wife Ljubinka recently left him, and he lives in a small, economically depressed town in Serbia. But he is certain his luck is about to change. At a town meeting, Marko proposes to rebuild a nearby airport and then attract tourists by erecting a MONUMENT TO MICHAEL JACKSON in time for the King of Pop's farewell tour. At first the townspeople scoff at Marko's plan, but they eventually come around to the idea, as life can't get much worse. Making a host of promises he likely can't keep, Marko then enlists the help of a retired military pilot, a Gypsy welder, a local boy band, a couple of German documentarians, a wheelchair-bound superfan, and a priest. Can this cast of oddball characters save the town and help Marko win back his wife? This quirky dramedy satirizes contemporary Serbian social ails to endearing effect.

For local authorities to consult on changes to schools (including nursery) such as closing, relocating or opening a new school.
1. This statutory guidance is issued under section 19 of the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010 (hereinafter referred to as 'the 2010 Act') and replaces the guidance which was published on 31 July 2014. The guidance also reflects recommendations made in the Commission on the Delivery of Rural Education's Report  , and that Report is a useful source of further information, discussion and advice on many of the issues arising from this guidance or in managing the school estate.
2. The 2010 Act was amended by the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014, and most of those amendments came into force on 1 August 2014.  The final part of those amendments, relating to the School Closure Review Panels, came into force on 30 March 2015.  This guidance provides advice on those new requirements, and on transitional arrangements for consultations on closure proposals which were underway on 1 August 2014 or 30 March 2015.
3. The 2010 Act's principal purpose is to provide strong, accountable statutory consultation practices and procedures that local authorities must apply to their handling of all proposals for school closures and other major changes to schools. These consultation processes are expected to be robust, open, transparent and fair, and seen to be so. They are also expected to be consistent across Scotland.
4. The 2010 Act makes special arrangements in regard to rural schools, establishing a procedural presumption against the closure of rural schools. This requires education authorities to follow a more detailed set of procedures and requirements in formulating a rural school closure proposal and in consulting on and reaching a decision as to whether to implement a rural school closure proposal. These are set out in sections 11A to 14 of the 2010 Act and sections 2.5, 3.4 and 4.2 of this guidance.
5. The 2010 Act applies to a wide range of changes to the school estate, referred to as "relevant proposals" (see section 2(1) and paragraphs 1 to 10 of schedule 1 to the 2010 Act). There are additional requirements for education authorities to comply with, both in carrying out the consultation process for school closure proposals and when the authority decides to implement the proposal. When the authority makes such a decision, the 2010 Act requires this decision to be referred to the Scottish Ministers and the proposal cannot be implemented in full or in part until the call in period is complete and, if the proposal is called in by Ministers, consent has been granted by the School Closure Review Panels in terms of section 17C.
To whom is this guidance addressed - who should read it?
6. Section 19 of the 2010 Act requires an education authority to have regard to any guidance issued by the Scottish Ministers for the purposes of, or in connection with, the Act. This guidance is therefore issued to local authorities and is intended to assist local authority officers who are involved in overseeing the consultation and decision making processes around proposed changes to their school estate, as set out in the 2010 Act. It is intended to help ensure that full, fair and rigorous consultations are undertaken and does so by providing guidance and illustrative examples of the good practice which is expected to be the norm.
7. This guidance will also be of interest to parents and carers; school pupils and staff; members of the local community; and anyone else with an interest in how authorities undertake consultations on proposed changes to schools. It is important that these stakeholders are reassured that the consultation and decision making process and procedures are fairly, fully and rigorously carried out by the local authority.
8. The structure of this guidance follows the timeline of a consultation from initial preparation, through formal consultation, decision and, where applicable, possible call in of the proposal by the Scottish Ministers. The specific areas covered, and the level of detail offered on those areas, reflect the debate on these issues in recent years. Comments on this guidance are very welcome and should be sent to schoolestate@scotland.gsi.gov.uk .

Terrifying! Part of This Southwest Airlines Wing Fell Off Mid-Flight
Yahoo Travel Editors
A picture of the bent wing. (Photo: Lorenzo Hernandez Jr./Facebook)
On the list of scariest things that can happen on a plane, seeing a piece of the wing fall off has to rank near the top. That's exactly what happened on a Southwest Airlines flight over Texas on Sunday, but fortunately, the plane made an emergency landing with no one harmed.
Flight from 987 from Austin to Harlingen was carrying 109 people when, as passenger Lorenzo Hernandez Jr. posted on Facebook, "on the left side of the plane, fasteners came or broke off the wing. I heard a few people to the side of me scream to the aircrew, a piece broke and flew off and a panel was hanging."
Related: What Really Happened When this Plane Nosedived 20,000 Feet for an Emergency Landing?
This photo shows a piece of the wing missing. (Photo: Lorenzo Hernandez Jr./Facebook)
Hernandez posted photos of the faulty wing on Facebook. He said when it happened he felt "the worst turbulence ever," and that passengers were praying, but "I am glad to say the great staff and pilots kept calm and stabilized the plane after a few minutes."
The plane touched down in San Antonio without incident. A Southwest spokesperson told the Daily Mail the issue was "a flap track canoe fairing appearing to be at an irregular angle." Southwest said they would take the flight out of service for further inspection.

Naah, ya think so?
Can we get a guy out here with a ladder and a vise grips?
Kudos to the pilots for "remaining calm" while another Southwest 737 slowly decomposes.
By the way...the link in the quote about the nosedive is another over statement...7000 fpm achieved... Indeed impressive but then again, power back and use the spoilers...I think that's not too far off to the edge of whatever envelope.

Corrected.
In other news, that same Southwest spokesman referred to flight 1248 as "a flight that appeared to stop somewhere other than the designated gate".
Be alert! America needs more lerts.
By the way, is the top photo suitable for uploading to JetPhotos.com?
brianw999
Probably not. It's certainly not suitable quality for www.jetphotos.NET.
If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !
snydersnapshots
Hmmm.... a flap track fairing came loose. Kind of the equivalent of a piece of trim falling off of your car. While not normal, and having the thing come off the airplane might be a problem should it hit something on the airplane or on the ground, it's really not that big of a deal. In fact, the Configuration Deviation List says you can fly without it.

Trusts seeks nominees to Tata Sons board
Posted on April 1, 2019 Author Prakash Poojary	Comment(0)
Tata Trusts was in the public eye also following the recent exit of one of Ratan Tata's oldest and trusted aides, NA Soonawala, citing health reasons.
Mar 31, 2019, 11.14 PM IST
An email sent to Tata Trusts seeking comment remained unanswered till the time of the publication of this report.
and other trustees of Tata Trusts are in a huddle to quickly nominate representatives on the board of Tata Sons, people close to the development said. Tata Trusts can nominate one-third of directors at the group holding company, but it falls short on the count following the recent exits of Amit Chandra and Vijay Singh, and of
Nitin Nohria
earlier. TVS Group's
Venu Srinivasan
, vice-chairman of Tata Trusts, who was inducted as a non-executive director at Tata Sons in August 2016, is now formally a trust nominee on its board, one of the people said. The number of directors on the Tata Sons board is usually 11, but can go up to 13, the person said. Ratan Tata is likely to make the final decision in this regard.
The trusts may also shortly name a candidate from the Tata universe as its chief executive, following exit of R Venkataramanan who was also managing trustee, the people said. Some of the likely Tata insiders for the CEO's role are N Srinath, managing director of Tata Teleservices; Sanjay Ubale, head of infrastructure & urban solutions at Tata Sons; and Praveen Kadle, who was heading Tata Capital until April 2018 before moving to another role within the group, they said.
An email sent to Tata Trusts seeking comment remained unanswered till the time of the publication of this report. An official close to the Trusts cited a previous statement that a committee of trustees, comprising chairman Ratan Tata, Vijay Singh and Venu Srinivasan, was established to select the CEO. Tata Trusts, chaired by Ratan Tata, is the largest shareholder of Tata Sons with a 66% equity ownership. The trusts include Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, Sir Ratan Tata Trust, JRD Tata Trust, RD Tata Trust, Tata Education Trust, Tata Social Welfare Trust and Sarvajanik Seva Trust.
Bain Capital managing director Amit Chandra stepped down from the Sir Ratan Tata Trust in November 2018 and the Tata Sons board in February 2019. Vijay Singh stepped down from Tata Sons board after reaching the retirement age of 70, while Nitin Nohria quit in mid-2018. Meanwhile, the post of the CEO at the Trusts has been delinked from the title of managing trustee, following a tax row over the remuneration of Venkataramanan in his dual role. According to some sources, Venkataramanan would be given a posting in the vast universe of the Tata Group, possibly outside the country. But this could not be verified. "A CEO is usually not on the board of trustees… he can carry out the duties assigned to him or her by the board of trustees," said Sanjay Ashar, a partner at law firm Crawford Bayley & Co. "And, there is no legal requirement to have a managing trustee. CEO is sufficient." The Income Tax Department recently withdrew tax exemption given to Sir Dorabji Tata Trust as Venkataramanan's salary had exceeded the permissible tax bracket. "The Income Tax Department's recent decision highlighted the conflict between the provision under the trust deed for a salary of trustees and the actual salary of the managing trustee," said Ravi Singhania, managing partner of law firm Singhania & Partners. "To balance the provision and the role envisaged under the deed, and still be able to find a capable CEO, the separate position of the CEO was a must." Venkataramanan is also being examined as part of the Central Bureau of Investigation's inquiry into allegations that AirAsia India — Tata Sons' joint venture with Ariasia Berhad of Malaysia — used illegal tactics to lobby for a change in India's aviation policies.
Tata Trusts was in the public eye also following the recent exit of one of Ratan Tata's oldest and trusted aides, NA Soonawala, citing health reasons. Soonawala's exit surprised those close to the developments since he is seen fit for his age and sharp on financial matters. He was seen as instrumental behind the recent appointment of Noel Tata as a trustee of the Sir Ratan Tata Trust.

Iran's Rouhani criticizes ban on Telegram messaging app as undemocratic
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani gives a speech in the city of Tabriz in the northwestern East-Azerbaijan province. (AFP)
Reuters, Dubai Saturday, 5 May 2018
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has criticized the ban imposed on popular messaging app Telegram by the conservative-run judiciary, saying the move was "the opposite of democracy".
Iran blocked Telegram - widely used by Iranians, the state media, politicians and companies - earlier this week to protect national security, state television said, weeks after a similar move by Russia.
Iran had been considering the ban since January when protests over economic grievances erupted in more than 80 cities and later turned into demonstrations against the clerical and security elite.
Some officials said protesters used Telegram to organize rallies, which were ultimately contained by the Revolutionary Guards and their affiliated volunteer Basij militia. The app was temporarily blocked in January.
"Failure to follow legal procedures and the use of force and judicial means is ... the opposite of democracy," Rouhani, a pragmatic cleric who has advocated expanding social freedoms, said in an Instagram post late on Friday.
"The filtering and blocking of Telegram was not carried out by the government which does not approve of it," said Rouhani, who has opposed restricting access to social media.
Rouhani's powers are dwarfed by those of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who is close to conservatives and hardliners.
Anti-government unrest
Iran's Shi'ite clerical rulers are wary of any revival of anti-government unrest should President Donald Trump refuse to extend US sanctions relief on Iran on May 12, a deadline he set for European signatories of Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with six world powers to "fix flaws" in the accord.
Government filtering prevents Iranians from accessing many internet sites on the official grounds that they are offensive or criminal. But many Iranians evade the filtering through the use of VPN software, which provides encrypted links directly to private networks abroad, and can allow a computer to behave as if it is based in another country.

Sanders has drawn strong support from college students and they're expecting to fill the lower bowl of the Breslin Center as well as some of the upper bowl.
The Sanders rally at MSU will be free and open to the public. For security reasons, people who attend are being asked not to bring bags, and limit what they do bring to small personal items like keys and cell phones. The Sanders campaign will be covering the costs. Here's more from the Lansing State Journal.

This beautiful medium weight natural coloured Dutch Linen tape is. Sold in units of 1 or 50 metres. If multiple units are ordered then we will always try to supply in one continuous length, i.e. not cut into 1m lengths.
Love the quality of the tape and ribbons, but only gave 4 stars because, I received an email on the day I ordered advising me that my order had been dispatched by 1st class post and yet it took 7 days to arrive and the postmark on the packaging was 2 days before arrival which was 5 days after date of order.
Thank you for your review. Unfortuantely we have to prioritise express orders. For future orders I suggest selecting the Express option.

Q: Is there a faster way to insert records to postgresql database while iterating over very large ndarray? I am trying to loop over ndarray to record index and value of it to postgresql. Here is my code:
    for idx, val in enumerate(data):
        cur.execute("INSERT INTO public.spams(review_id, label, confidence_level, aoc, created_at) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s)", (idx+1, spamlabel, 0, 0, dt.now()))

The size of ndarray is 762k and it tooks more than 8h to insert those values. Is there any more efficient way to do this?

A: Use psycopg2's execute_values helper method and also provide constants to limit the data we have to transfer, e.g.:
from psycopg2 import extras

extras.execute_values(
    cur,
    "INSERT INTO public.spams(review_id, label, confidence_level, aoc, created_at) VALUES %s",
    enumerate(data),
    template = "(%s + 1, %s, 0, 0, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)")

You can also experiment with the page_size parameter for further throughput tuning.

Q: asp.net store object class in viewstate (or other ideas) I've build a class like this:
private class TestResults
{
    public bool IsAdmitted { get; set; }
    public bool IsDuplicate { get; set; }
    public bool IsVerified { get; set; }
}

The values of this class are set at postback by clicking a radiobutton list. Problem however is I don't know  how to save this values across multiple postbacks. I thought of using viewstate but I'm not quite sure how to do it with this class.
Maybe I'm missing some important thing here.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction
thanks for your time!
Kind regards,
Mark

A: Just sticking this class in viewstate is pretty simple:
ViewState["SomeUniqueKey"] = myTestResults;

var testResults = (TestResults)ViewState["SomeUniqueKey"];

Your class will need to be marked with the [Serializable] attribute though.

A: try using the Session cache instead
 var testResults = new TestResults();
 //set values
 Session["TestResults"] = testResults;

Retrieving them later on:
 var testResults = Session["TestResults"] as TestResults;
 if (testResults != null)
 {
      //use it
 }

A: You can use
Session.Add("TestResults", Your_Test_Result_Object)

Session Object Explanation

A: If you don't need this value on other pages or in other places throughout the app, you can use viewstate.
Use the Page.ViewState object bag to store it:
public partial class Page1 : Page {
    protected void button1_click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        ViewState["myObject"] = testResultsObject;
    }
}

You could also wrap the access to it in a property on the page:
public partial class Page1 : Page {
    public TestResults TestResults {
        get{ return ViewState["TestResults"] as TestResults; }
        set{ ViewState["TestResults"] = value; }
    }
}


Drupal is a system to manage and use websites, and is considered around the world as one of (if not 'the') market leaders in this area. The first version of it was developed about 10 years ago (early 2000), by a Belgian student. The current version of it is developed and supported by a huge group of (tens of) thousands developers, spread around the world (the 'Drupal Community').
The website of the White House in the USA.
The site of the musée de Louvre.
The site of telenet (a huge telecom operator in Belgium) for technical support.
The site of Mars Odyssey mission (with live pictures of the planet Mars ...).
The sites of In Petto and AbitMORE.
Some say that 2% of ALL (!!!) existing websites are powered by Drupal (there seem to be about 2.000.000.000 websites in total, so that's about 40.000.000). For (much) more details about Drupal, visit the officiale Drupal site.
For those interested in building a Drupal based website, or anybody interested in converting an existing (outdated) website to this modern internet technology): contact In Petto.

Q: Windows Server 2016 "Failed to register the service principal name" I have a Windows Server 2016 virtual host which is hosting a virtual domain controller, and a few additional servers. When the physical host needs to reboot for scheduled patching, upon startup the server receives the following errors:
"Failed to register the service principal name 'Hyper-V Replica Service'.
Failed to register the service principal name 'Microsoft Virtual System Migration Service'.
Failed to register the service principal name 'Microsoft Virtual Console Service'."
Service principal names are properly set in the attributes of AD of the host for each of the respective SPN's, and I'm unsure how to trace this out any further. Does anyone have any first hand experience or recommendations in regards to this? There are also no NTDS port restrictions in place.

A: Go to Active Directory, select view Advanced Features. On the Hyper-V host computer Security Tab/Advanced select the SELF principal/EDIT and allow permission for  "Validated write to service principal name".

Firefox To Start Showing Ads On Tab Page
Posted by crcdatatech On May 22, 2018
Before Google released its Chrome browser, Firefox felt pretty good about their arrangement. They got a handsome reward in exchange for making Google.com their default search engine. It was a win-win.
These days though, Firefox's position is a bit more precious. The Google deal is still the main source of the company's income, but they're also in direct competition with Chrome. If Google one day decides to pull the plug on the deal, the company could find itself in dire straits indeed.
That's why they've been casting about for some means of expanding and diversifying their revenue, and the strategy they've hit on is advertising.
Don't worry, you're not about to be buried under a mountain of annoying ads, but with the release of Firefox 60, any time you open a new tab, you'll see a listing of recommended links based on your browsing history.
Anytime the conversation turns to "recommended links" it naturally brings privacy concerns to the fore. After all, the only way Firefox can make sensible recommendations you're likely to be interested in is to track your browsing habits.
Here though, the company has an innovative approach, because all the tracking happens on the client side, so Firefox doesn't actually store anything. Although they will track how many of the "recommended links" you visit, so they can cull the list and remove any of the ones you don't bother with, so they don't keep reappearing.
On balance, it's a good, even-handed approach that should solve the company's revenue problems, while treading lightly on the good graces of their user base.
Like it or not, ads are an unavoidable consequence of the internet as it exists today. At the very least though, Firefox deserves credit for not making excessive use of them, and for respecting the privacy of its users by coming up with a non-intrusive method of deciding what links to display.

Q: Math learning after Differential Equations? I made it up to DE(Pre-Calc, Calc I and Calc II with basic stats before that same school) in community college through a special program(I'm poor). I'll have to self-teach from now on but am still very in to math and engineering. What do people usually go to with math after DE?
I'm interested in topology but it looks like there is a lot of other things I need to do first like advanced algebra.

A: After differential equations, I think you should try learning real analysis at the level of Rosenlicht or so and abstract algebra at the level of Gilbert and Gilbert. These two topics will greatly improve your mathematical maturity and will prepare you for more advanced mathematics.
From here, I would learn complex analysis and venture into topology. You don't need to learn topology after real analysis, but I feel that topology is best understood after learning real analysis well. However I think you must know real analysis well before complex analysis. Complex analysis is almost impossible to appreciate without seeing how.. yucky real analysis can be. From there, the sky is the limit.

A: If you haven't had the genuine treat of a basic course in complex variables, do that first. Topology is high in my list, but you really must get complex variables under your belt first. It will completely change your take on lots of stuff you have already done.

A: Real analysis if you have not done it so far.

Un fonds spécialisé dans la réhabilitation des friches industrielles
Several major institutional investors launched Wednesday in Lyon a new fund specialised in the remediation of heavily polluted industrial wastelands, in the continuity of a first successful Fund launched six years ago. The Ginkgo II fund has already raised 60 million euros and its objective to raise that amount to 140 million euros by the end of the year "is under the best auspices," announced its managing director Bruno Farber at the signing ceremony.
"If we were capitalised by Goldman Sachs, we might be less successful, but a majority of our investors are very close to the general interest," Mr Farber stressed, referring to the main providers of funds: the European Investment Bank (€30 million), the Caisse des Dépôts (€30 million) and the Belgian sovereign fund SFPI (€10 million), as well as the Edmond de Rothschild Group (€10 million). These investors all had a stake in the capital of the Ginkgo 1 fund, which is worth €81 million. They all practically doubled the amounts invested in its successor Ginkgo II.
According to Mr Farber, Ginkgo 1, launched at the end of 2010 for an eight-year period (extendable to 10 years), should offer its investors a return of 10 to 15%. The investment is indeed risky, even if Ginkgo funds are insured against the risk of slippage in pollution clean-up costs, explained Mr. Farber, during the ceremony held on a former Fagor-Brandt site in the Lyon district of Gerland, which Ginkgo is currently redeveloping. This 4.3 hectare site is one of the seven on which Ginkgo I is working, with two others in the Paris region, one near Annecy (Haute-Savoie) and three in Belgium.
The remediation of these sites should make it possible to create 180,000 square metres of building rights, with the construction of 2,000 housing units. Ginkgo II, for its part, will generate 350,000 square metres of new building rights (i.e. 4,000 housing units). "If the first fund took a very long time to come out - several years - it was very quick for the second one", Hammou Allali, director of real estate investment at the CDC, was pleased to say.
The promoters of the two funds indeed underlined that the remediation of former industrial lands, a real "cancer" of the hearts of the city, represented "very complex projects, requiring competent teams". "Alone, we don't know how to do it," Mr. Allali pointed out. "Ginkgo's expertise allows us to know whether a remediation project is viable or not. The call for private capital "is a means of accelerating the changes necessary for urban regeneration," noted for his part Ambroise Fayolle, Vice-President of the EIB. For him, " there is no opposition between investment funds and brownfield regeneration ". If Ginkgo I was only invested in France and Belgium, Ginkgo II does not refrain from taking an interest in other European countries. In particular, the fund is looking at investment opportunities in Great Britain, Spain and Luxembourg.
