Tom Brady announces end of legal fight, will be suspended for Week 1 game vs. Arizona Cardinals
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady says he will not pursue any further legal action in an attempt to overturn his four-game suspension, confirming he will miss the Patriots' Week 1 matchup at the Arizona Cardinals.
After his case was rejected by an appeals court Wednesday, Brady took to Facebook on Friday to state that he has accepted the suspension.
Brady, a four-time Super Bowl champion and two-time NFL Most Valuable Player, was suspended for under-inflating footballs during the Patriots' AFC Championship game win over the Indianapolis Colts in 2015.
The Cardinals host the Patriots on Sunday Night Football on Sept. 11, the first week of the 2016 regular season.
#Patriots QB Tom Brady had options. He could have admitted guilt and struck a deal. He never did. He just stop fighting, will serve 4 games
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) July 15, 2016
Backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to start for the Patriots in Brady's place. Earlier this week, Cardinals defensive end Calais Campbell said he's "licking his chops" to face the inexperienced Garoppolo.

Interview With John Adams, CEO And Founder Of AForeignAffair.com
OPW INTERVIEW - Feb 26 - AForeignAffair is an International dating service that connects women from Russia, Latin America and Asia with guys around the world. John Adams is the CEO and Founder. I asked him about the genesis and nature of his company. - Mark Brooks
What is the founding story of AForeignAffair?
AForeignAffair started in 1995 by myself, Ken Agee, and Ron Redburn. Back then newspapers had personal ads where women were seeking men, men seeking women, but you never really knew what the people looked like. We thought it would be great to put photos out there so people could actually see a photo before they meet.
We launched on the BBS system thinking we would do it locally in Phoenix. Then we discovered the Internet, and we thought: "Wow we can do this on a global basis." We sent Ken to Russia to see if there was going to be any interest from the women to meet Americans. He was very pleased with the reception that he got there. That was kind of the beginning and we started first in St. Petersburg, Russia and Ukraine and then Colombia and all over.
This seems like a very different industry than the Internet dating industry. How would you define it?
I would call it the International introduction industry. For people to be successful they're going to have to travel outside the county. I think there is a lot of ignorance in that. Once you start looking at the men and the women who use this, a lot of that ignorance melts away and you understand that these are just normal people trying to find that special someone.
What countries are you in?
We are in Russia, Ukraine, Peru, Cost Rica, Columbia, China, Dominican Republic, and others.
It really seems like the opposite of Internet dating, because most Internet daters don't want to travel more than 20 miles.
According to studies, these relationships tend to last longer than domestic relationships. One of the reasons for that is the fact that it does take more effort, it does take more commitment to make something like this work.
So how's your National Geographic promotion happening?
We've always been open to the media. National Geographic is just another step in that progression of opening access and trying to illuminate this industry.
They did a wonderful job. I was there... Nothing was scripted, everything was as you see it. They had three separate crews, they were following the guys as they were going on the different dates, they were filming the dates, the socials, the reactions after the dates. Some were good and some were bad. It's not all fairy dust and blue birds singing around your head. It's about going over there and having options. You still have to make something happen.
What do you think this industry is going to look like in 5 years time? What's your vision of the future for AForeignAffair?
I think it is going to become more mainstream. Our world is becoming smaller every day; we can communicate so much easier and it's instant and transparent. In order to be successful, you have to provide more customer service to both the men and the women, and more functionality. Not just introducing them, but helping them through the whole dating process, and helping them to be successful in marrying.
How do you think the idating industry can work with this industry? There must be a way for the two to work together.
I think there is. We've talked to some of the local matchmaking companies, some of the more traditional ones, and we are still in talks with some. Partnering with us will allow them to offer more options to their clients.

International Marriage Broker Promises Men Love and Women Escape
ABC NEWS - Aug 19 - After using A Foreign Affair to strike up online dialogs with a few dozen women, Bob Wray, 66, will pay the company ~$4,000 to fly to Odessa, Ukraine, and meet them and other potential brides. The promise offered by A Foreign Affair's website is bolstered by the experience of the company's founder. Seventeen years ago, John Adams saw that the rise of the Internet and the fall of the Soviet Union created a rich matchmaking opportunity. He set up a mixer in Kiev where he himself met his Mrs. Right.

Thanks! The one line openssl was great. Upgraded my webmin install perfectly.
Hi there and congrats for the nice how-to!
We're about to upgrade one of our server from 8.04 to either 10.04 or 12.04, but Webmin's site mentions a development version (1.587) to fully support Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and my superiors here aren't too easy with development versions on production servers.
Now, in your demonstration, you mention using a minimal demonstration system"; do you have any experience / received feedback regarding using that set-up in a real life production environnement?
Like many programmers, I typically add bugs and features at the same time; only later do I remove the bugs. On production systems I avoid development versions unless I need certain features only available in the development code. I haven't launched anything on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS yet (as of May 2012) although I haven't encountered anything that would be make me uneasy. You can always ask your question on Ubuntu Forums in the server section or on the Webmin mailing list.
Thanks for a excellent how to do it………………..
Loud and clear. An easy-to follow yet very instructional tutorial. Congrats!
Excellent tutorial Kelvin! I must say it's working like a charm. Thank you.

Inside Google Zeitgeist: Google's Annual Partner Summit
By Matt Spiegel, CEO
Appeared in Search Engine Watch
Google Zeitgeist is not your typical partner summit. Advertising? Doesn't really make the agenda until day two. Search? Not a dedicated topic at all. Instead, in inimitable Google style, last week's Zeitgeist featured a two-day feast of brain food on topics ranging from world hunger and environmental protection to the shortage of digital marketing talent.
The Three C's: Collaborate, Connect, Capture the Zeitgeist
Capturing the Zeitgeist: Captains of industry and heads of state in attendance included President Clinton (via satellite link); former Vice President Al Gore; Cisco CEO John Chambers; Tom Brokaw of NBC News; and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Google's theme, Collaborate and Connect, was reflected in the caliber of speakers, diversity of topics, and format of the conference. In no particular order, here are some of the most interesting moments and key insights from the Google partner summit.
Most Interesting Question
The surprising: "Wouldn't you be happier if the Internet didn't exist?" was asked by Jeffrey Cole, director of the Center for the Digital Future, and answered by Jim Stengel, CMO of P&G and Dawn Hudson, president/CEO of PepsiCo NA. You'll be happy to note neither said yes. Indeed, both credited the Internet with speeding innovation and creativity.
The Fourth and Fifth C's: Command and Control
John Chambers, CEO of Cisco, discussed the challenge of changing an organization from "command and control" to one of collaboration and decentralization. Within a few short minutes it became clear why he's viewed as one of the best CEOs in business. His ability to change the culture of Cisco to an organization that brings together multiple disciplines and multiple levels of seniority to find a solution is impressive and a true model of success to follow.
Best and worst speaking slot: Susan Desmond-Hellmann M.D., M.P.H., president of product development, Genentech, was brave and lucky. Susan's spoke between President Clinton and former Vice President Gore.
Jimmy Whales On Google
Most compelling quotes (part one): There was a tie in this category. First up is Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia: "Google is not in the search business." His comments no doubt sparked a bit of controversy for Googlers. Wales made some interesting points about Google's focus on advertising platforms and technology development. On the other hand, Google owns the search market in the U.S. (and plenty of other countries, too).
Warning: For Mature Audiences Only
Most compelling quotes (part two): Up next is Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia: "If you're an a**hole on the way up, you're still an a**hole on the way down." This fabulous line from Chouinard came while describing rich business executives weighed down with all the trappings of luxury (including guides who carry their gear and pre-mark their trails) when they scale Mount Everest.
Not People's (or Banana) Republic
There was a great discussion on marketing authentic brands (this session sparked the most interesting question mentioned above). What's clear: the best brands have always tried to be authentic. The Internet allows no choice but authenticity. Since consumers can join the conversation, marketers need a message that fulfills the promise of their products and services. If branded products and services don't fulfill the advertised promise, consumers will let the rest of the world know. The marketer may or may not be the last to know.
Zen of Time Warner
Dick Parsons, CEO of Time Warner, had many intriguing things to say about the changes he's overseeing. He noted he's a professional executive who's passionate about business, as opposed to a cable entrepreneur who's passionate about the success of cable. That perspective fosters a level of calm in his work. He highlighted how his poise helps him navigate the many challenges in the ever-changing media business.
I Am (John) Legend, Google Diggs Tay, The Grateful (Un)Dead
Amid the memorable moments of illumination and insight were unforgettable performances: one by a Legend, (John Stephens); a live performance of "Chocolate Rain" from GoogTube phenom Tay Zonday, and an amusing, meandering question from Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead.
Did I mention Google Zeitgeist isn't your typical partner summit?

U.S. Ride Sharing Company 'Lyft' Coming To Toronto Next Month
Uber is about to face some competition on the streets of Toronto. Lyft claims to be the fastest growing on-demand transportation service in the United States and it will officially launch in the city before the end of the year. They hope to launch next month in the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton with five options: regular vehicles for up to four passengers; the Plus service, with vehicles that can carry up to six people; Premier, offering high-end cars; Lux, with luxury black cars "piloted by a top driver"; and an SUV version of Lux.
The company has not yet announced passenger rates, driver fees or details of the Toronto office. Lyft operates in hundreds of U.S. cities and Toronto will be its first international market.
When asked about the competitiveness of Lyft, co-founder John Zimmer points out to the Star that 50,000 Torontonians have the Lyft app on their phone already, despite there being no service available in the country. Residents will likely be curious about trying out the new alternative.
The company is starting to reach out to drivers in Toronto today and much like Uber, Lyft operates by a mobile app.
Last year, city council voted in favour of a set of regulations that effectively legalized ride-sharing services in Toronto.

Koh Phi Phi Don is a impressive double bay surrounded by white sandy beaches and crystal sea water. Phi Phi Don is the largest island of the 6 Phi Phi islands and consists of two main sections. It is on Ton Sai where the original inhabitants settled and is now the center of all accommodation, restaurants, market, banks and shops. Phi Phi Don is quite stunning and has earned the title of one of the most fantastic islands in the world. Nowadays though, with development, the beaches have paid the price and so they're not quite as spectacular as they were in the days of yesteryear. The landscape however, can never be ruined.
Viewpoint - walk up to the Viewpoint, 186 metres above sea level (a very steep walk of between 10-25 minutes, depending on fitness), to get a breathtaking view of the entire island - particularly at dawn or sunset (bring a torch). You will be surprised at how narrow the sand strip is between the two main parts of the island.
Yao Beach Yao Beach, just south of Ton Sai, offers visitors some fantastic views, scenery and coral reefs for snorkeling and scuba diving. This small place is packed out however, with places to stay and so some people do complain that the vicinity has been rather over developed. You can get there either by walking from Ton Sai or taking a long-tail boat.
Ton Sai Bay Ao Ton Sai is where most of the action is; be it restaurants, bars, hotels or guesthouses. Most tourists stay at Ton Sai Bay because of the convenience. Even though it isn't the most beautiful place on Phi Phi, it is still impressive.
quiet beach with exhilarating scenery. Accommodation on Laem Thong is aimed at higher spending tourists.


Students from St Thomas More RC Academy with staff at the clinic which is going to be made more young people friendly thanks to a partnership with Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Tyne & Wear Citizens.
Young people are driving forward a redesign of a mental health clinic.
Students from St Thomas More RC Academy have joined forces with Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Tyne & Wear Citizens to make changes to the clinic at Albion Road Resource Centre in North Shields to make it more young people friendly.
The clinic hosts appointments for children and young people up to the age of 18, who are referred to the trust's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS).
The décor and environment are going to be revamped, age-appropriate artwork displayed and the waiting room is going to be rearranged to allow separate areas.
Jim Mackey, chief executive of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, said: "We're committed to engaging with our communities and it is a pleasure to be working with the students from St Thomas More RC Academy and ensuring young people's voices are heard.

With "super incumbent" Brian Jean easily winning a seat that was previously held by both himself and the UCP, it sets Alberta onto a path that wasn't part of Jason Kenney's plans.
It's not often that a person who has won five previous elections shows up as a candidate in a by-election – unless you're Jason Kenney, who won seven before Dave Rodney drew the short straw to give up his seat for Kenney's 2017 entrance to the Legislature.
During a live panel on the Cross-Border podcast Tuesday night, I likened the outcome in Ft. McMurray-Lac La Biche to a question many political observers had in 2019 about Calgary-Mountainview: Does Calgary-Mountainview vote Liberal, or do they vote for David Swann?
Swann was first elected in the riding in 2004 and held it until the writ dropped in 2019. Incoming Liberal Leader David Khan fought for the seat, along with the winner, NDP Minister of Justice and Solicitor General Kathleen Ganley, leading us to believe that Calgary Mountainview returned Dr. David Swann to the legislature, not necessarily the Liberal candidate.
Brian Jean is well-known in his riding. He's well-known in politics. And, when the northern Alberta community was reeling from the 2016 fires, Brian Jean was right there with them. He's the closest thing to a local celebrity as one can really get. Add to that the seat was previously held by his own predecessor, Laila Goodridge, under the same banner, and it was highly unlikely that Jean would not be the successful candidate.
Many people are wondering: does this mean the NDP is in trouble?
It could.
By-elections are notoriously under-representative compared to the general elections.
For instance, if you want to compare how the NDP did in the recent by-election where the candidate received (unofficially) 1,081 votes, use the 2018 by-election where the candidate received 1,149 votes. They lost six per cent.
Comparing by-elections to general elections are like comparing oranges to grapefruits – they only sort of look similar.
Consider that in 2019, the NDP candidate in the same riding received 3, 635 votes, compared to the orange crush in 2015 where they only earned 2, 071 – an increase of 75 per cent.
It's also a rural riding, with a "super incumbent", yadda, yadda, yadda. That makes it difficult to gauge province-wide whether their support levels are completely offside with polling projections.
The real cause for concern is the support for the Wildrose (and I am still amazed they were able to use that name) Independence Party.
In 2015, people wanted the Progressive Conservatives out of office. Talking with a longtime NDP organizer who was on the doors that year, his face still betrays his astonishment that people were willing to vote either NDP or Wildrose – whomever had the best chance to unseat (or block) the PC candidate. Policy wasn't the greatest concern – change was.
In 2019, there was also a "change" movement – albeit for different reasons – and again, policy was of little concern.
The Wildrose and PCs claimed the narrative early and hammered it for four straight years – "the recession exists because businesses and investors don't trust the NDP".
It was a simple message that spoke to voters who were also wary of the NDP. In terms of messaging, the NDP was playing defence from the day they were elected.
Good news wasn't good enough. New jobs weren't the right jobs. Cutbacks, savings, and wage freezes weren't near enough to make up for a budget lacking billions in resource revenues. And raising taxes? Adding new taxes? In ALBERTA??? The conservative parties barely even had to get out of bed.
However, the NDP wasn't the only target for distrust during their term.
Even though the PC and Wildrose membership voted overwhelmingly to merge in 2017, and there were "representatives" of both parties running for leadership of the new United Conservative Party – "New Blue" Doug Schweitzer, recently-elected PC leader Jason Kenney, recent leader of the Wildrose Brian Jean, and former Wildrose President and alleged Kamikaze Candidate Jeff Callaway – the scent of internal scandal, and alleged fraud, still plagues the first leadership race.
This distrust sparked the formation of new parties before the 2019 election, namely: one of the original Wildrose founders, Marilyn Burns, with the Alberta Advantage Party, and ousted UCP MLA and former Jean-protege-turned-pain-in-Jean's-ass-turned-pain-in-Kenney's-ass Derek Fildebrandt with the Freedom Conservative Party.
In 2020, Fildebrandt's FCP merged with the unofficial Wexit movement – that rose to incredible popularity on the prairies the night of the 2019 federal election – to form the Wildrose Independence Party of Alberta, which is now led by former Alberta Alliance Party leader Paul Hinman, who was part of the merger with Marilyn Burns' et al., Wildrose Party of Alberta (never registered) to form the Wildrose Alliance Party, which became the Wildrose Party (legally Wildrose Political Association) that Brian Jean last lead, which the UCP, for all intents and purposes, owns.
Still with me? It's dizzying but important background because Hinman and his Wildrose Independence Party of Alberta placed a strong third with 10 per cent of the votes in the by-election.
While a by-election isn't necessarily representative of a larger generalization, it still could be.
Rural ridings are considered "safe" seats for the UCP, mostly thanks to the demolition of the Wildrose Party.
Except… by some weird fluke at Elections Alberta that allowed them to register the same name, the Wildrose – not in its policy, vision, or basically anything other than the name and its leader Paul Hinman – may be rising from the ashes again, right before our eyes.
This potential plot twist may bring some to the conclusion that it could be good for the NDP in the next election. Wildrose and PCs split the vote in many ridings across the province in 2015, giving the NDP a majority. Maybe supporters can sleep a little easier thinking that will happen again?
Not even remotely.
Remember that NDP organizer's astonishment at the doors? Voters were willing to consider either the NDP or the Wildrose – regardless of policy.
Wildrose has name recognition, even if they happen to be a separatist Party now. Who reads the fine print when they're looking at ballots?
Then there's Kenney's "united" party.
Prior to the by-election results, the UCP could consider rural seats "safe".
The NDP would likely take Edmonton and the "real fight" for a majority government would take place in Calgary. Unless the Wildrose shaves votes (but more importantly – seats) in rural and beyond.
And maybe that would be good for the NDP but it could also be good for the UCP.
Or, my personally favourite option, maybe it could be good for Alberta.
Just imagine a scenario where the NDP and UCP have to form a coalition government because the Wildrose Independence Party takes enough seats that neither can form government on their own?!?
It would be kind of like… a Progressive… Conservative… government…

Nebraska vs. Purdue odds, line: Proven model reveals college basketball picks for Jan. 14, 2022, Big Ten Conference matchup
SportsLine's projection model generated selections for Friday's Big Ten Conference game between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Purdue Boilermakers
BySportsLine Staff@SportsLinePublished: Jan 14, 2022 8:59PM UTC . 3 min read
The Nebraska Cornhuskers will look for their first-ever win at Mackey Arena when they take on the seventh-ranked Purdue Boilermakers in Big Ten Conference action on Friday. The Boilermakers (13-2, 2-2) have beaten the Cornhuskers (6-11, 0-6) in 17 of 23 all-time meetings. Tipoff from West Lafayette, Ind., is set for 6:30 p.m. ET. Purdue is favored by 20.5 points at Caesars Sportsbook, while the over-under for total points is set at 155 (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our college basketball odds page).
Before making any Nebraska vs. Purdue picks, you NEED to check out the college basketball predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated an impressive profit of over $2,200 for $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.
The model knows the Boilermakers are powered by sophomore guard Jaden Ivey, who has scored in double figures in each of his last 12 games. In the win over Penn State, Ivey scored 12 points, while grabbing seven rebounds and two steals. After starting the season going 3 of 12 from 3-point range, he has been on fire, and has connected on 29 of 61 in the last 12 games. For the season, Ivey is hitting on 50 percent of his field goals, including 43.8 percent from 3-point range.
The model also knows three Cornhuskers are averaging double-figure scoring, led by freshman guard Bryce McGowens. In 17 games this season, he is averaging 15.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists, and is connecting on 83.3 percent of his foul shots. McGowens, who is third nationally among all true freshmen in scoring, has reached double figures in seven consecutive games dating back to Dec. 11. The three-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week scored 19 points and grabbed six rebounds on Tuesday against Illinois in an 81-71 loss.
Now, it has set its sights on Nebraska vs. Purdue. It is leaning Under on the total and it also says one side of the spread hits more than 50 percent of the time! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college basketball picks.
Who wins Nebraska vs. Purdue? And which side of the spread hits more than 50 percent of the time? ... Join SportsLine right now to find out which side of the Nebraska vs. Purdue spread you should be all over Friday, all from the model on a roll on college basketball picks!

This chapter evaluates the present knowledge about the degree of stability of the genome of enteric bacteria. It discusses about the forces which have contributed to maintaining stability, and considers the types of rearrangements which can and do occur even in those genomes generally considered to be stable. With the use of methods of physical analysis of DNA, and especially the introduction of the use of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), used first in Escherichia coli by Smith and colleagues, the genomes of many strains were determined and conservation of gene order was shown to be the rule. It talks about two modifications of PFGE methods, which allow the determination of genome structure in many strains, have been used in representative enteric bacteria. It focuses on the forces which would be expected to act in a conservative way to maintain gene order. It is possible that transspecies recombination due to conjugation or transduction followed by homologous recombination, though very rare, is so important that colinearity is an important advantage. The author concludes that the overall conservation of gene order within the enteric bacteria which was reported many years ago in comparisons of E. coli and Salmonella typhimurium has been confirmed by the analysis of the physical maps of many strains of Salmonella and other enteric bacteria determined by PFGE and by the comparison of nucleotide sequences.
Comparison of the genomic maps for the endonuclease l-Ceul and positions of selected genes determined by analysis of the locations of insertions of Tn10 in S. typhimurium LT2 ( 40 ) and S. typhi Ty2 ( 47 ). The arrows beside the rrn operons indicate the direction of transcription. There are three types of rearrangements in S. typhi with respect to S. typhimurium. (i) The arc with arrowheads at both ends indicates a segment of the S. typhi Ty2 genome within the I-Ceu I-A fragment which is inverted relative to LT2. (ii) The open arrows indicate three regions in which the intervals between homologous genes are much longer in S. typhi than in S. typhimurium; these are postulated to be insertions of DNA (pathogenicity islands), (iii) The I-Ceu I fragments, which are in the order ABCDEFG in S. typhimurium (and most others enteric bacteria studied), are in the order AGCEFDB in S. typhi, presumably due to homologous recombination among the rrn operons.
Separation by PFGE of fragments from I-Ceu I digestion of DNA from independent wild-type strains of S. typhimurium from the SARA set of strains ( 4 ), taken from Fig. 1 of reference 46 . The lanes marked LT2 represent DNA from strain LT2 (which is SARA2); other lanes show the number of the strain from the SARA set. The normal I-Сеu I fragments and their sizes in kilobases are shown as single letters on the right. Unusual bands for a few of the strains are indicated on the left, along with their sizes. Some of the partial digestion products, such as D+E and E + F, are shown on the right; these show that the fragment order is DEF.
Inversions covering the Ter region (adapted from Fig. 6 of reference 47 ). The open vertical bar and genes on the left (S.tm) show the order of genes in S. typhinurium LT2, with the positions of these genes shown in kilobases ( 40 ). The shorter bars to the right indicate segments of the chromosomes of S. mleritidts (S.en) ( 42 ), S. typhi (S.ty) ( 47 ), and E. coli K-12 (E.co) ( 5 ), which are inverted. The hatched horizonal lines join homologous genes. TerA (equivalent to pslA) and TerC (equivalent to plrA) indicate the locations of replication termination in E. coli K-12 ( 7 , 17 , 36 , 49 ).
(A) Partial digestion of DNA of independent strains of S. typhi with the endonuclease I-Cad, separation by PFGE, and staining with ethidium bromide (from Fig. 2 of reference 48 ). Lanes: 1, strain 26T4; 2, strain 26T9; 3, strain 26T12; 4, strain 26T19; 5, strain 26T38; 6, strain 26T48, 7, strain 26T49. (B) The fragments shown in panel A are indicated by bars, and their sizes and the fragments they are inferred to include are labelled on the left.
The order of I-Ceu I fragments in 127 strains of 5. typlii and in other enteric bacteria, showing 26 different genome types (adapted from Fig. 2 of reference 48 ). The order of I-Ceu I fragments B to G was determined from data of the type shown in Fig. 2 . The order of I-Ceu I fragments from strain Ty2 (genomic type 9) had been previously determined by analysis with Tn10 insertions ( 47 ). The same order was confirmed by partial I-Ceu I digestion (as shown in Fig. 3 ). The I-Ceu I-A fragment joins the left ends of the fragments shown to the right end, forming circles, but their orientations are not known. The orientations of-CeuI fragments B, D, E, F, and G can be inferred from the polarities of the rrn operons. The solid dots in the I-Ceu I fragments indicate the location of oriC. The number of strains of each genome type is shown; some of the theoretical genome types were not detected. The order and sizes of the fragments between rrn operons were previously determined for E. coli K-12 ( 3 ), S. etitcritidis ( 42 ), S. paratyphi ? ( 39 ), and S. typhimurium LT2 ( 40 ). These are illustrated at the bottom, drawn to scale, and all have the same order of fragments as genome type 1 of S. typhi.

Jenn Beneduce Army '09 Named Head Soccer Coach
Ann Palms, Lincoln School's Director of Athletics, has announced that Lincoln alumna and Lower School teacher Jenn Beneduce Army '09 will move into the role of Head Varsity Soccer Coach this fall.
Jenn, who has been passionately involved with the sport of soccer for over 18 years, has been a member of Lincoln School's soccer coaching staff since she returned to Butler Avenue as a teacher in 2013.

Greg Sargent on Nancy Pelosi's Plan to Move Immigration Legislation
by Americas's Voice on September 23, 2013
This morning, we highlighted an Arizona Daily Star editorial supporting the CIR ASAP bill recently introduced in the House, and encouraged the introduction of similar legislation. As we wrote last week, the death of the House Gang of 7 potentially presages an exciting new phase in this year's fight for immigration reform, one that could bring a variety of bill introductions from various House members (on both sides of the aisle) designed to force one thing: a vote on immigration reform.
Today, Greg Sargent at the Washington Post writes about how Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is gearing up to introduce such a bill:
With House Republicans seemingly stalling on immigration reform, Nancy Pelosi has hit on a plan that is designed to force them to deal with it this fall.
Within the next two weeks, Pelosi may introduce a version of the Senate immigration reform bill in the House, in an effort to pressure House Republicans to sign on as co-sponsors, according to an aide familiar with her thinking. No decisions have been made.
While many activists have pushed for a discharge petition in the House, which would allow a vote on the Senate bill regardless of Speaker Boehner's support, indications are that Pelosi's bill is not that (yet, anyway):
Instead, Pelosi — along with Dem Rep. Xavier Becerra, a key player on immigration — may introduce in the House a version of the Senate bill that Dems would be expected to rally around. It would get rid of the amendment throwing a huge amount of money at border security attached to the Senate bill by Senators John Hoeven and Bob Corker, which is opposed by a lot of House Democrats and even some House Republicans who derided it as "border candy."
Instead, Pelosi's plan (which is not finalized) would take the Senate bill and replace Corker-Hoeven it with another measure — sponsored by GOP Rep. Michael McCaul and Dem Rep. Bennie Thompson — that sets out clear border security benchmarks and calls for the meeting of those metrics to be consulted on by a number of key stakeholders.
That measure passed the House Homeland Security Community with unanimous bipartisan support. Pelosi's likely new move comes after it emerged last week that the House gang of seven bipartisan talks to produce comprehensive reform fell apart.
The reliance of Pelosi on a plan that passed the Senate with bipartisan support — with a House border security amendment that won bipartisan support attached to it — is designed to increase pressure on Republicans to act in the House or reveal themselves unwilling to support anything remotely comprehensive in the way of solutions to a problem House GOP leaders themselves have acknowledged must be dealt with.

Concert Review: Smashing Pumpkins and Jane's Addiction at Hard Rock Live October 8, 2022
Nobody describes music as "alternative" anymore. Because of the diversity proffered by the internet, there's no monolithic music culture to rebel against. But in the late 1980s through the mid '90s, alternative was the catch-all descriptor for any guitar-based music that sounded slightly different. Perhaps because the Smashing Pumpkins and Jane's Addiction fit into that big alternative music tent, they were packaged together for the Spirits on Fire Tour.
Saturday's show at Hard Rock Live was the hottest ticket in town for '90s nostalgists, with seats going as high as $1,000 a pop on the resale market.
The two bands are generational peers, and both broke up only to reunite a few years later. Still, there are marked musical differences between Jane's and the Pumpkins displayed at Saturday's concert.
At 7:30 pm, the lights darkened and tribal drumming blared, the tempo quickening and quickening before Jane's Addiction came out. This was supposed to be the first tour that featured all four original members, but unfortunately, guitarist Dave Navarro had to skip it as he continued to suffer from long COVID. While Troy Van Leeuwen did a fantastic job of mimicking the gigantic sounds Navarro makes on guitar, he couldn't replicate Navarro's rockstar charisma. That left all the attention on frontman Perry Farrell and the scantily clad trio of burlesque dancers that took the stage.
Luckily, Farrell was up to the task. Though his voice seemed strained at times, he always brought the energy and the enthusiasm of all great rock frontmen. The now 64-year-old singer reminisced about his formative years at North Miami Beach High with the crowd.
"Come on motherfuckers," he told the crowd. "We used to roam these streets on our skateboards. We used to cruise Hollywood. We used to surf at Hollywood."
The band then went into an epic rendition of "Three Day," a sultry ballad at turns both contemplative and slamming. The guitar work and drums during the mid-song instrumental breakdown were hypnotizing, transporting everyone to that happy place only music can take you.
Hard Rock Live fits a lot of people, and out of the corner of my eye, during what I thought was a transcendental concert moment, I noticed the woman in front of me was transfixed on her phone, trying to figure out what wristwatch to purchase online. Ah, well, I guess not everything is for everyone. At least she would have the Smashing Pumpkins to enjoy.
At 9 p.m., the Smashing Pumpkins came out. Singer Billy Corgan, clad in a black robe that had him looking like a druid priest or Star Wars character with an electric guitar strapped on, led the band on a two-hour, 20-song set. He was backed by original guitarist James Iha and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin along with Jeff Schroeder, taking the crowd on a journey through the band's greatest hits.
There were a few hiccups during the Pumpkin's set as Corgan left the stage a few times to deal with technical difficulties, and Iha stalled by rambling about alligators. Corgan put a stop to it when, upon returning, Iha asked, "What do you think about gators?" Corgan responded, "I just want to rock."
Most of the songs were faithful recreations of the studio recordings. There were a few exceptions though. During "Tonight, Tonight," only Iha and Corgan remained onstage for an acoustic rendition, which Corgan introduced by saying, "All the people in the high-priced seats can get up and say they know this song."
However, the highlight of the evening was when the band let loose during psychedelic, guitar-heavy "Silverfuck." Less successful was when the Pumpkins attempted an unfaithful version of Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime." Still, for most of the show, the band took the audience back in time to when alternative music was the mainstream, and the idea of browsing on your phone during a fantastic concert was bad sci-fi satire.

Evelyn Joshua discloses scanting details why SCOAN remains closed
Lloyd M'bwana
Evelyn Joshua on SCOAN leadership
LAGOS-(MaraviPost)-When on Saturday June 5, 2021, Pastor Temitope Balogun Joshua, the founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) and one of Africas most popular televangelists breathed his last, the news came as a rude shock to millions of his followers across the globe.
The notable spiritual leader fondly called TB Joshua was said to have walked out of a Saturday night service while preaching, to take a little rest but did not return to continue. Five months after the demise of the Man in the Synagogue, things have not remained the same as a leadership tussle erupted between his erstwhile top aides and immediate family.
Saturday Sun learnt that some top prophets of the church had expected that the mantle of leadership would be handed over to Prophet Racine Bousso, a Senegalese and deputy to the late TB Joshua.
Bousso, alongside Prophets Joseph David from Nigeria and Christopher Dennis Tonge from the United Kingdom, mostly stood in for TB Joshua on days he was not available. These powerful and influential aides had allegedly staged a spiritual coup d'etat and temporarily seized power, making themselves heirs to the estates of the renowned Prophet against the legitimate interests of his widow, Evelyn and her three children – Sarah, Promise and Heart.
While in the saddle, a series of allegations were made against the top aides. Chiefly, the Prayer Mountain of the church at Agodo Egbe designed only for prayers was said to have been gradually turned into a haven for worldly lifestyle – a thing that was not in practice when TB Joshua was alive.
The aides were also alleged to have taken over the church's strong room and looted the vault with reckless abandon. Also, none of TB Joshua's family members was privy to all monies collected from partners all over the world during and after his burial. The aides were equally alleged to have opened another global network account without the church or Joshuas family's knowledge.
However, in a sudden twist of fate, the succession tussle was laid to rest as the headship of the vast ministry has been legally thrust on the widow. Following the ruling of Justice Tijjani Ringim of the Federal High Court, Lagos that ordered her reappointment as a trustee of the church in line with its constitution, which prescribes a minimum of three trustees for the church, Evelyn has now taken over the reins of affairs at SCOAN. But then, it appears the court judgment did not go down well with some people, as it ignited a crisis of confidence currently rocking the church.
Mrs Joshua, however, made it known to Saturday Sun that there was neither crisis nor leadership vacuum in the church.
Speaking through Barrister James Akhighe, the church's Head of Legal Department, she said: "There is no leadership crisis in the church. SCOAN is a registered association with a Board of Trustees. And every association is administered through its Board of Trustees.
"The church's BoT, in its own wisdom, chose me as the new leader of the church. There is no dispute regarding the leadership of the ministry, and that has been settled".
According to her, the church is obviously going through a new phase of experience in its life, which warranted its prolonged shut down that has not been pleasant to some members.
Joshua also reacted to an allegation that about 17 foreign prophets and evangelists of the church were initially detained and later deported to their countries of origin, on her instruction.
Those affected include Annette Easting (United Kingdom), Catherine Ann (United Kingdom), Ruth Christina Tonge (United Kingdom), Christopher Dennis Tonge (United Kingdom), Seunghwa Lee (South Africa), Cindy Elizabeth Widjaja (Indonesia), Elizabeth Botouna (Greece), Angelique Nyinawintwari (Holland), and Angela Patricia Quintero (Colombia).
"There was no basis for that. To say that the church instigated the deportation of foreigners is very unfortunate. In fact, we are highly disappointed in a certain media platform that reported that falsehood. Its a blatant lie against the church and even against the Federal Ministry of Interior under whose purveyor the issue of immigration falls.
"The purveyor of this falsehood didn't even consider the diplomatic implications of such falsehood. It defies logic that some British citizens would be detained and later deported from Nigeria without the knowledge of the British High Commission. There are standard procedures of deporting any foreign citizen and the church as a body doesn't have any power of sort", she stated.
Nevertheless, the widow noted that since her husband's death, the behaviour of some disciples allegedly led by two Britons and two Nigerians, has become a matter of serious concern to the leadership of the church.
This, she said, led to the elders and the new BoT to call for a comprehensive audit of the church finances, save for some critical assets not yet manipulated.
While this was going on, some of the disciples have been asked to proceed on vacation, at least in the interim, for proper management and maintenance of discipline.
Saturday Sun learnt, however, that some of the disciples are afraid they might lose their jobs whenever the church completes its reorganization and ready to recommence service.
This fear has reportedly led to a campaign of calumny targeted at the person of Evelyn Joshua and other church elders.
A veteran journalist and top member of the church, who pleaded anonymity, told the reporter:
"She was completely put in the dark of all activities. These once powerful aides constituted themselves into an 'Apex Council' and established a 'Governing Council' for the church in which all positions are shared within themselves, with no member of TB Joshua's family or any church member on board. But the unholy alliances have pushed the woman to rise up to the challenges of preserving and strengthening the good legacy left behind by her husband."
According to him, there are fears that Mrs. Joshua might have a tough time running the affairs of the ministry, and expectedly.
She is already dealing with a number of issues, including conspiracy and intimidation from a group of people who were supposed to provide support and assistance at a time she needed them most.
"But taking charge of the ministry left behind by her husband wouldn't be a difficult one for the woman, as she was part and parcel of her husband's ministerial engagements since he started in the late 1990s. They often travelled together on soul-winning campaigns and evangelism assignments. So, with time and against all odds, she would step into the role with ease to keep alive her late husband's dreams and legacy."

There are few simple pleasures in life to compare with an ice-cold glass of water. For full appreciation, the tumbler itself must be equal to the task. We present our set of four Lenny Recycled Glass Tumblers, which are weighty, low and – crucially – wide enough to pack an icy punch. Reminiscent of Moroccan style glasses, for the full effect, they should be served on a tray along with their corresponding Lenny Recycled Glass Jug, full of mint-infused water. Thanks to the glass having been recycled, each piece is unique in all its wavy organic glory.

Two Minnesotans Won Academy Awards Last Night
The 91st Academy Awards ceremony aired last night, and to be fully honest with you, I didn't even find out who won anything until I rolled into work this morning. That's mostly because I've seen one or two of the nominated movies not named Black Panther, so I passed on the whole thing. Is that just me?
Apparently, something called Green Book won Best Picture! I have not seen Green Book, and I definitely can't tell you what it's about. But what I do know is that it just won a Minnesota native an Oscar last night.
Jim Burke, born in Edina, was one of the producers for the film, and was up on stage when Green Book won Best Picture at the end of the night. See? Minnesota can win the big one! But he's not the only one from the North Star state who took home some gold last night.
Mankato native Jimmy Chin took home the award for Best Documentary Feature for the rock-climbing doc Free Solo.
Hopefully these two movies pop up on Netflix in the near future. *cough*

Annex Student Living made the top ten in the Indianapolis Business Journal's annual ranking of the 25 fastest-growing private companies in the Indianapolis area.
New dorms: Annex Student Living develops and builds student housing at colleges and universities that typically haven't offered campus housing—usually Division II and III schools, community colleges and regional campuses of larger institutions. Annex has built at Indiana University campuses in South Bend, Kokomo, Richmond, Columbus and New Albany, and has just started a 575-bed dorm at IUPUI that will open in 2017 at the southeast corner of 10th Street and the White River.
Bach said schools with housing typically have more success recruiting and retaining students, and students who live in campus housing more often have higher grades than those who commute.
From the beginning: Bach's background is in affordable housing. He was pursuing an opportunity in northwestern Illinois that didn't get funded, but a president from the local community college saw his name in the paper and asked if he'd ever considered student housing. He met with her and built a business model.
A challenging sell: The biggest challenge Annex faces is selling the idea of dorms to educators, administrators, municipalities—and even students and parents.

Ilhan Omar seizes spotlight to push pro-BDS resolution
Bryant Harris July 16, 2019
Rep. Ilhan Omar plans to introduce a pro-BDS resolution days after President Donald Trump invoked Israel to defend his racist tweets that put her in the national spotlight.
REUTERS/Jim Bourg
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) speaks about Trump administration policies toward Muslim immigrants and her own immigrant background at a news conference by members of the US Congress "to announce legislation to repeal President Trump's existing executive order blocking travel from majority Muslim countries," outside the US Capitol in Washington, US, April 10, 2019.
House Democrats today rallied around a resolution to condemn President Donald Trump's racist tweets against four high-profile freshmen congresswomen.
But at least one of those congresswomen — Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — is about to drop her own resolution that may not go over so well with Democratic leadership. Her resolution would defend the pro-Palestinian boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.
"We are introducing a resolution … to really speak about the American values that support and believe in our ability to exercise our first amendment rights in regard to boycotting," Omar told Al-Monitor. "And it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement."
The Minnesota Democrat noted she intends to introduce the bill early this week. At the same time, Democratic leadership plans to advance another nonbinding resolution condemning the BDS movement on Wednesday.
Omar and her colleague — Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan — became the first and only lawmakers to support the BDS movement after winning their elections last year. Republicans have repeatedly seized upon their pro-BDS stance to paint the Democratic Party as anti-Israel — something that was not lost on Donald Trump during his multiple Twitter tirades targeting both congresswomen.
After tweeting that Omar, a Somali American Muslim refugee, and Tlaib, a Palestinian American, should go back to their countries alongside Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., Trump invoked Israel to justify his remarks. At multiple points, he insisted that they "hate Israel" and quoted Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who said that "they talk about Israel like they're a bunch of thugs, not victims of the entire region."
And while Trump's racist remarks unified Democrats and allowed them to paint over high-profile spats that had emerged between the party's leadership and the four progressive congresswomen last week, Omar's resolution could once again put the intra-party divisions on full public display.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., has so far resisted Republican calls to kick Omar off of the panel. But he has previously accused Omar of "invoking a vile, anti-Semitic slur" after she said, "I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country." Her remarks prompted the House to pass another nonbinding resolution condemning anti-Semitism and Islamophobia 407-23 in March.
On Wednesday, Engel's committee will vote on an anti-BDS resolution, introduced by Reps. Bradley Schneider, D-Ill., and Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y. The resolution was a priority for American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) activists during their annual lobbying day earlier this year. The committee also plans to vote on a military aid bill that codifies the $38 billion, 10-year memorandum of understanding with Israel into law — another AIPAC priority.
While both bills still have more than enough support to pass, Omar told Al-Monitor that she intends to vote no.
Omar's lone voice of opposition marks an end to years of bipartisan precedent that allowed similar legislation to sail through both the House and Senate unopposed. Both chambers easily passed a similar military aid bill by voice vote last year but ran out of time to resolve minor differences in the House and Senate versions.
Additionally, last year the House Foreign Affairs panel unanimously passed the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, which would allow the Trump administration to implement anti-BDS regulations for businesses and their employees that could carry criminal penalties of up to 10 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
After the American Civil Liberties Union and several liberal advocacy groups highlighted free speech concerns with the anti-BDS legislation, even Democrats opposed to BDS have become increasingly wary of binding anti-boycott bills. The emerging partisan fissure over BDS and Israel prompted AIPAC to recalibrate this year, diluting its anti-BDS push by instead lobbying for the nonbinding Schneider resolution.
The resolution, which asserts that the BDS undermines a two-state solution and Israel's right to exist, boasts 339 bipartisan co-sponsors, including a number of progressive lawmakers. By contrast, Omar's bill is unlikely to receive a committee markup let alone pass. Still, she told Al-Monitor she refuses to yield to pressure from either party when it comes to AIPAC-backed legislation.
"I am very much driven by the moral clarity that I was sent to govern with, and I'm quite confident that it will withstand pressure," said Omar.
Correction: July 16, 2019. This article has been updated to indicate that part of Trump's tweets on this issue were quoting Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Grotto PizzaOur History
Dominick Pulieri was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania to Italian-immigrant parents. After high school, Dominick enrolled at Kings College in Wilkes-Barre and graduated as a pre-med major with a Bachelor's Degree in Biology in 1964. In addition to founding Grotto Pizza, Dominick taught biology, general science and chemistry in the Smyrna Special School District from 1965 to 1970.
From an early age, Dominick was making pizzas with his brother-in-law, Joseph Pagliaite's pizza restaurant in Harvey's Lake, Pennsylvania. It was at Joe's Pizza that Dominick's passion for pizza was ignited.
In 1960, Dominick, along with his brother-in-law Joe, and sister, Mary Jean Paglianite, ventured to Delaware to open a pizza restaurant. This was the birth of Grotto Pizza. During this first summer, pizza slices sold for 20 cents each and a whole pizza was $1.60. The challenge was to introduce pizza in an area where it was not recognized.
To create a market for his pizza, Dominick and his sister spent long hours talking to people and handing out free samples to those who passed by his restaurant. In July of that summer, he noticed he was starting to get many repeat guests. Local Sussex County guests and tourists from the D.C. and Maryland helped to put Grotto Pizza on the map. It was later the local Sussex County guests, and later the tourists from the DC and Maryland area, who put Grotto Pizza on the map.
Incredible Growth
In the years that followed, Grotto Pizza continued to grow and prosper. In 1963, Grotto Pizza opened a second location on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach. In 1967, the original Rehoboth Avenue take-out stand moved to its present location in the "Arcade Building."
Still a pizza-only enterprise, Grotto Pizza continued as a seasonal business from May through October. Customers would take pizzas home at the end of each summer and freeze them in order to have the taste of Grotto Pizza through the winter. In 1974, Dominick opened Grotto Pizza as a year-round restaurant to meet the demands of his guests.
Where We Are Today
From these humble beginnings, Grotto Pizza has grown to multiple locations throughout the states of Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Although Grotto Pizza has expanded beyond the small take-out stand, the company continues to adhere to its core values of excellent pizza, food, friendly guest service and community service.
Grotto Pizza Gives Back!
Since establishing our Grotto Gives Back program in 1985, Grotto Pizza has donated in excess of $15 million to our local communities through our Community Pizza Night program, holiday fundraising, and donations to youth programs, schools, the military, hospitals, first responders and other philanthropic giving.
