Mirror's Edge Catalyst delayed two weeks to June 7
By Joseph Keller
Mirror's Edge Catalyst, the first-person running game from EA and DICE, has seen its release delayed. Originally set for a May 24 release in North America and May 26 in Europe, the game will now debut on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 on June 7 in North America, and June 9 in Europe.
In a blog post, design director Erik Odeldahl said that the two-week delay would help DICE refine the new Social Play features.
To support the Social Play features, we are using a brand new online technology. We also want to make sure we have the opportunity and time to address player feedback from the Closed Beta. That is why we will give ourselves a bit more time to perfect the game, with a new release date for Mirror's Edge Catalyst of June 7th (NA) and June 9th (EU). We're confident that these extra two weeks will make sure the game is as amazing as possible for you the players.
The closed beta is still going forward as planned, and is set to begin on Friday, April 22.
Excellent... adds a bit of breathing room between it, Doom, and Uncharted 4.
better to be delayed than suffer another buyer's remorse
I'm just upset that my CPU doesn't met the minimum requirements of four logical cores. But I've the got recommended 16gb of ram! - Sent From Mars
Kinda like how having ten cashiers at a shop means little if you only have two members of staff to use them. :P
Lol - Sent From Mars
16gb suggested ram ? OMG, what is this Crysys ? I just rebuitl my gaming PC, I have 6 cores and 32gb of DDR4 OC memory, I should be fine but, might just grab it on the Xbox depending on how the beta is...
Going up against Overwatch probably wasn't a good idea either. I'm happy it's been pushed back, more breathing room between games
Gutted about the delay. Here's hoping I get into the beta at least!
Yeah, I know what its like to be highly anticipating this game... But we have already been waiting so long for a sequel, what's an extra two weeks to make it a better experience?
Of course. =)
Aww yeah! Got my beta code this morning! Can't wait to play this weekend!!
Me too !!! Played the first one and the PSP verson.... looking forward to check this one out

Pure emotions on a bike
//enjoy bavarian traditions//stunning landscapes//tailor-made itineraries
There is no better way to explore a region than on your own. By biking, you do not only see the beautiful surroundings, you also get in close contact with the picturesque nature and with the locals that are living there. Take a relaxing break and enjoy lunch on one of the rustic and authentic alpine pastures.
Feuer und Eis Touristik has been offering active vacation for more than 30 years. Our passion is to develop, arrange and organize a perfect vacation that suits your individual needs. Take a look at our selected tours and start dreaming about your next vacation.
Our recommendation:
The breath-taking Cycle Path on River Inn - From St. Moritz to Innsbruck
Switzerland and Austria are a dream team when it comes to panoramic cycling holidays. The cycle tour from St. Moritz to Innsbruck couldn't be more varied – and yet the individual daily stages work together. Your path takes you from elegant St. Moritz over the Engadin to Innsbruck, the city with the golden roof, over eight days. Mountain panoramas alternate with the lush forests of the Swiss National Park, and the cultural offerings are also impressive. And the culinary indulgence? It plays a very big role in the Engadine and also in Tyrol. You have the delightful choice between the famous Engadine Nusstorte, Bündnerfleisch, Tyrolean Gröstl and numerous other specialities.
From the metropolis on the shores of the Isar River to the city of lagoons – the long-distance trail Munich – Venice is a journey of discovery through the Alps. Enjoy 550 km/342 mi of cycling trails from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea. Discover 3 countries, 3 cultures and 3 climate zones during your bike tour. You can enjoy glamourous cities such as Munich, Innsbruck and Venice as well as romantic towns such as Tegernsee, Schwaz, Brixen and Treviso.
The point of departure for the Lake Constance to Lake Königssee cycle path is the town of Lindau. From here on, the cycle path leads you through the hilly landscape of the Allgäu region. After a spectacular view of the Allgäu Alps, the Tannheimer Mountains and the highest peak of Germany, the Zugspitze, you will reach Hohenschwangau and get a glimpse of Neuschwanstein castle, which is one of Bavaria's most famous postcard motifs and was built by King Ludwig II. It served as the inspiration for the Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty castle. Situated only a stone's throw away from the picturesque castle you should not miss the opportunity to visit the Pilgrimage Church of Wies. The church has been added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 and is located near Steingaden. Further on, in Benediktbeuern the Benedictine Order with its over 1250 years of history invites you for a visit. The cycle path guides you to Bad Tölz through the Upper Bavarian picture book scenery until you reach the lakes Tegernsee, Schliersee and Chiemsee. Lake Chiemsee is the largest lake in the region and therefore known as the 'Bavarian sea'. The island Frauenchiemsee is easy reachable by boat and invites you to take a stroll. You can continue by boat to the larger island Herrenchiemsee where another magnificent castle of King Ludwig II awaits you. Passing Traunstein the cycle path leads to Bad Reichenhall and Berchtesgaden. The final destination of the journey lies in the alpine scenery of the Berchtesgaden National Park. Finally, Lake Königssee, which literally means "king's lake", is indeed a crowning finale to a kinglike cycle tour.
Are you looking for an entry-level route for occasional cyclists and want to admire the magnificent, majestic landscape of Austria? Then Eurobike has just the trip for you! The seven-day cycle tour travels from Innsbruck to Salzburg and through the Alps and valleys of western Austria. Tyrolean customs paired with regal Salzburg make this trip a real gem for culture lovers.
Enjoy spectacular views of the beautiful river Isar while enjoying a nice cycle tour between the Bavarian Alps. The Isar Cycle Route starts in Mittenwald and takes you besides the Isar to some of the most charming Bavarian villages and cities next to the Isar. At the end of your tour, you have the chance to see the famous river Donau and estuary area of the Isar.
The cycle path starts in the Bavarian capital Munich and takes you across Austria to Lake Garda in Italy. Cycle alongside of a wonderful alpine scenery and enjoy the breathtaking nature. Beautiful cycle paths take you from Brixen to Bozen and Trient until the final destination of your journey: wonderful Lake Garda!
ab ### €
Enjoy a different concept of cycle routes: this tour is not about reaching a different destination, it is about getting to know a whole area. The Allgäu is one of the most picturesque regions in Bavaria. By cycling this region, you see why this area is as popular as it is. On 450 km/280 mi you can enjoy a comfortable ride while you discover the many sights and histories of this region such as the famous castle Neuschwanstein. Come with us on a journey through the Allgäu and explore this famous area.

Los Continentales del Perú, o simplemente Los Continentales, fue un grupo musical de cumbia peruana que se formó en el mes de agosto de 1981 en la ciudad costeña de Lima, Perú. También con sus grandes éxitos recorrieron México, Colombia, Argentina, Ecuador, Chile y Bolivia, entre otros.

Origen
Los Continentales fue un grupo formado por 3 exintegrantes del primer y original Cuarteto Continental, el grupo fue liderado por Francisco Acosta (Pancho), guitarrista, coros y arreglista de todos los temas grabados por esta agrupación según consta en las grabaciones. Como cantante principal Julio Cesar Prado Guerrero (fallecido en junio de 1987 en Argentina), y como acordeonista César Silva que pertenecíeron al Cuarteto Continental, a ellos se sumó Oswaldo Vega como cantante y coros.
También participaron Leoncio Salgado en los timbales, Ramón Siu en el bongo y Coco lagos en las tumbas.

Contando con 3 exintegrantes originales del Cuarteto Continental, el éxito no se hizo esperar.

Éxitos de la agrupación
Los Continentales encontraron una gran popularidad en el mercado del norte de la Argentina y fue uno de los que hicieron que se expandiera el éxito de la cumbia peruana en ese país junto con otras agrupaciones como Los Mirlos.

La mayoría de los éxitos fueron regrabaciones de otras agrupaciones con las cuales competían como Cuarteto Continental, Cuarteto Universal, Los Universales, Cuarteto Amazónico, Sexteto Internacional y también de grupos extranjeros como Lucho Cuadros, Lisandro Meza de Colombia, Los Mier de México y Los Wawancó de la Argentina.

La agrupación fue apoyada y creó sus grabaciones en la empresa limeña Music Shop perteneciente al productor de la industria musical Esteban Calderón antes de que la situación económica, política y social del país mas la llegada de nuevas técnicas de grabación y comercialización de soportes musicales llevara a la empresa a la quiebra años más tarde.

Entre su listado de éxitos se encuentran los siguientes:

 El africano: Éxito grabado por un sinfín de agrupaciones de cumbia y merengue de Colombia, México, Perú, Argentina y República Dominicana.
 Caballo viejo: Éxito de Simón Díaz de los más regrabados en muchos géneros musicales como cumbia, merengue, mariachi, instrumental, Salsa, y grabado incluso por Richard Clayderman.
 Te están matando los años: Cover de un paseo vallenato de Lucho Cuadros.
 Esta pillao: Cover de Lisandro Meza.
 Disimula: Composición de Hugo Almanza Duran.
 La coloreteada: Cover de Los Mier de México.
 A pichi pichi.
 Con un sorbito de Champagne: Composición del peruano Hector Bustamante, siendo éxito en el extranjero del venezolano Pastor López.
 La revancha: Éxito del peruano Hugo Almanza grabado por diversas agrupaciones, también de Colombia y México.
 El medio peso: Canción Cubana de Pototo y Filomeno, el grupo le dio un arreglo especial y en que menciona los nombres de los integrantes.
 La computadora: Grabado entre otras agrupaciones peruanas, también por agrupaciones chilenas como la Sonora Casino.
 Daniela: Éxito del cantante peruano Jhonny Arce.
 El carbonero.
 Golpe con golpe.
 La medallita del amor - La Novia.
 Dile: Éxito en varios países y conocida en México en la versión de la agrupación peruana Cuarteto Universal.
 Cumbia Negra.
 La Rosa en Botón.
 El Aguajal.
 La Medallita.
 La Cumbia.

Estos fueron algunos de sus éxitos a través de sus 13 Long Plays LP.

Su música fue reconocida en la Argentina como parte de la llamada Cumbia santafesina que possé un estilo acercado al colombiano con acordeón, y permitió su comercialización a lo largo y ancho de ese país, recibiendo el disco de oro por el tema "El medio peso". Su música también gustaría en los países de Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Uruguay y Paraguay.

A pesar de haber dedicado o mencionado algunos temas para México, del material de la agrupación creado por Musichop no existe evidencia de que fuera comercializado en ese país norteamericano, excepto algunos temas entre los que figuran Canchis-canchis, editado por Discos Peerless.
En 1986 empresarios Mexicanos buscan a nuestro acordeonista Cesar Silva y le encargan la formación del Cuarteto Continente. La producción musical nunca salió en el Perú, pero fue un tremendo éxito.
Después del éxito logrado, en 1987 encargan a nuestro guitarrista Pancho Acosta la formación del Grupo Fantasma. La producción musical nunca salió en Perú, pero fue un éxito rotundo.

Etapas

LOS CONTINENTALES tuvieron dos etapas:

La primera entre 1981 hasta 1985 con Pancho Acosta, César Prado, César Silva y Oswaldo Vega.
Quienes recorren casi todo el territorio peruano con innumerables presentaciones. Esto les sirvió para interesar a empresarios extranjeros.

Contratados para los carnavales del norte de Argentina en 1985, después de un total y rotundo éxito en esta gira , la agrupación se desintegra.

Cesar Prado y Oswaldo Vega deciden quedarse a trabajar en Argentina con los músicos que llevaron de Lima y con músicos Argentinos. Deciden usar el nombre de Los Continentales. En esta etapa realizan largas giras por toda la Argentina con la siguiente formación: Cesar Prado: Voz(Perú), Oswaldo Vega: Voz y Coro(Perú), Enrique Peralta; Acordeón(Argentina), Arturito; Bajo(Perú), Jorge; Timbales(Perú), Marcelo Peralta; Guitarra y Coros(Argentina)

A su regreso al Perú, en mayo de 1985 Pancho Acosta y Cesar Silva deciden tomar un descanso para luego formar una nueva agrupación encontrando nuevos músicos y dos nuevos cantantes Víctor Caballero y Dino Villasante.

La nueva agrupación se llamó Los Imperiales produciendo dos long play en 1986.Realizando giras a la Argentina en 1987 y 1988.
En 1986 Cesar Silva es contratado para grabar una producción para México. Creó el Cuarteto Continente haciendo dirección, arreglos musicales y grabando el acordeón. Éxitos que hasta hoy se escuchan en el hermano país del norte

En 1987 Los Imperiales son contratados para los carnavales de Argentina, la idea de los empresarios era presentar un mano a mano contra Los Continentales de Argentina, cosa que no sucedió por los diferentes bailes programados para ambos grupos.

A mediados de 1987 fallece Julio César Prado Guerrero en Argentina, Muerto Cesar, Oswaldo Vega decide trabajar como locutor de radio, después de un tiempo tiene a su hija Natalia Alejandra Vega Ortíz y aproximadamente en 1994 nace su segundo y último hijo Victor Israel Vega Ortiz ahora mismo trabaja con una banda musical (siendo Victor la voz principal).

El cuerpo de Cesar prado es traído a su casa en el Callao, Perú y en el velorio frente a su ataúd, Pancho Acosta y César Silva le prometen a su amigo retomar el nombre de LOS CONTINENTALES, que ellos tres habían creado.

En 1987 Pancho Acosta es contratado para grabar una producción para México. Creó el Grupo Fantasma, haciendo dirección, arreglos musicales, guitarra y coros. Éxitos que hasta hot se escuchan en el hermano país del norte.

En 1988 se empezó esta gran aventura musical de LOS CONTINENTALES contando con dos cantantes Dino Villasante y Nicolás Pastor quien ingreso para realizar una producción para el Sello Universal en casete, y se realizó las giras de 1989 y 1990 al norte de Chile.

En 1991 se retira Nicolas e ingresa al grupo Marco Mau Orlandini (hermano de Julio Mau Orlandini) que venía de cantar por el Cuarteto Imbatible y graba una producción para el sello Elsi también en casete.

En 1993 emigra a Estados Unidos.

En 1995 por acuerdo de todos los integrantes, queda registrado la marca LOS CONTINENTALES en Indecopi del Perú, a nombre de Dino Villasante Farfan pasando a ser cantante y mánager del grupo, ingresando ese año como cantante Coco Vásquez quien también participara en otras agrupaciones míticas como Combo Palacio (Virtuosos de la Salsa) con quien trabajó hasta 1996.

En 1997 ingresó como cantante Jorge Oria (conocido como "Conejo") con quien se hizo en 1998 una recopilación de todos los éxitos de Los Continentales para el sello Rosita producciones en CD. En 1999 graban 2 canciones El conejito y el Zapaton. guitarra y arreglos musicales Pancho Acosta, acordeón Cesar Silva y cantantes Jorge Oria y Dino Villasante. En el año 2001 el grupo, se desintegra.
Cabe destacar la participación de músicos destacados que actuaron en todas las presentaciomes de LOS CONTINENTALES en esta segunda etapa, Alex Novoa en el bajo y el maestro Orlando Pineda en los timbales.

Pancho Acosta vuelve a trabajar con su legendario grupo Compay Quinto formado en 1967.
Cesar Silva instaló su sala de grabaciones lo que le dio muy buenos resultados artísticos y económicos.
Jorge Oria actualmente está trabajando como cantante del grupo Los Destellos.
Dino Villasante emigró a New Jersey, Estados Unidos donde formó su grupo musical "Dino's Band".

Última compilación en CD

Una de sus últimas ediciones fue un CD mano a mano con Los Mirlos bajo el sello "Discos Magenta" en la República Argentina . Ahora al parecer hay una agrupación con ese nombre en aquel país que ya nada tiene que ver ni en lo musical, ni en lo personal, ni en lo artístico con la agrupación original peruana.

Governor Polis Announces 2022 Governor's Citizenship Medal Recipients
Annual award honors top community leaders from around the state
DENVER - Today, Governor Polis and CiviCo, a nonprofit that cultivates civic-minded leaders, announced the recipients of the 2022 Colorado Governor's Citizenship Medals. Each year, the Governor awards the Citizenship Medals to citizens and organizations who inspire excellence and public service. Gov. Polis announced six recipients for 2022 who will be honored on January 26, 2023 as part of Colorado Leadership Month.
The medals, established in 2015 and inspired by the Presidential Medal of Freedom, represent the highest honor recognizing significant contributions to communities across Colorado. Each of the 2022 medal recipients shares the same values: they are people who put people first.
"I am honored to have the opportunity to recognize the recipients with this award and highlight all you have done for Colorado. The important award categories allow us to select recipients from different sectors that all play a unique role in uplifting our communities through innovation and hard work. The recipients truly embody leadership and are driven to make Colorado an even better place to live," said Governor Polis. "On behalf of all Coloradans, thank you for your dedication to building a Colorado that can be enjoyed for generations to come."
The 2022 categories and six recipients are:
● Vanguard Legacy Award—Federico Peña
● Emerging Community Leader Medal —Mitchell Mauro
● Public and Community Service Award—Ed Perlmutter
● Growth and Innovation Award—Amy Schwartz and Kelly Leid, Founders of the STEAD School
● Corporate Citizenship Medal —Ball Corporation
● Colorado Mountain Leader Medal —Clela Rorex
"The 2022 medal recipients are emblematic of CiviCO's vision to support people who put people first," said Jennifer Landers, executive director of CiviCO. "We are honored to partner with Governor Polis and former governors to celebrate these outstanding leaders who have devoted so much to our beloved state."
Additional 2022 category and recipients details:
Vanguard Legacy Award—Federico Peña, Lifetime Civic Leader and Champion for Equity
Honoring a business or community leader who has made transformational contributions to the community throughout his or her career.
Federico Peña has demonstrated visionary leadership and dedication to civic engagement for generations, from his tenure as a state legislator, the city's first Hispanic mayor beginning in 1983 to holding two federal cabinet positions. Starting his career as a civil rights attorney, Peña has brought his commitment to equity and justice into his work in private equity and through serving on numerous corporate and non-profit boards. Amid a recession in the early 1980s, Federico Peña's optimistic vision for Denver's future through his "Imagine a Great City" campaign shaped the growth of the city. Peña pushed for significant transportation projects, which included the Denver International Airport and light rail expansion, putting Denver on the map as a "world-class city." His administration also shepherded a new convention center, the Cherry Creek Mall, Denver Public Library, recruited Major League Baseball and supported the construction of Coors Field. His legacy is the epitome of civic engagement.

Growth and Innovation Award—Amy Schwartz and Kelly Leid, Founders of the STEAD School
Entrepreneurs or business leaders lead with exceptional ingenuity and growth while inspiring and creating new possibilities for others.
In 2021, Amy Schwartz and Kelly Leid founded the STEAD School in Commerce City. Located on a 10-acre campus, the small high school is focused on continuing the metro area's agricultural legacy through an active, hands-on STEM perspective. "STEAD," an acronym for: Science, Technology, Environment, Agriculture, and Design; offers students an alternative to traditional classroom learning and prepares them for a future in agriculture by embracing emerging technologies and project based learning. In a state where agriculture is a large contributor to the economy and supports 195,000 jobs, preparing the next generation of Coloradans for a career in agriculture has a valuable impact for our state.
Public and Community Service Award—Ed Perlmutter, U.S. representative for Colorado's 7th congressional district
Honoring a government or community leader who serves the public through innovation, operational excellence and progressive vision.
Ed Perlmutter has served in an elected capacity in the state of Colorado for 25 years, first as a state senator and more recently as the US representative for Colorado's 7th Congressional District. Born and raised in Jefferson County, Ed has dedicated his life's work to the community. He was elected as a Colorado state senator for the 20th district from 1995 to 2003 and subsequently to the US House of Representatives. During his 16 years in Congress, Perlmutter has worked on issues as diverse as Veterans' care to attempting to launch a human mission to Mars by 2033. Ed's leadership has impacted the state of Colorado immensely, including introducing 68 bills in his first seven terms. His focus on developing and disseminating renewable energy technology made him a natural fit for a congressman whose district includes the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Corporate Citizenship Medal —Ball Corporation
Recognizing a Colorado-based company that has made a significant positive impact in the Community.
Ball Corporation consistently proves itself as a company dedicated to Colorado's well being. Through corporate giving, employee giving and volunteerism, Ball logged more than 24,000 volunteer hours and donated $6.2 million last year in global community investments. Ball Corporation has supported more than 2,900 nonprofit organizations and pledged $5 million in additional funding to global communities during COVID-19. Ball's community work focuses on four main priorities: Education, Recycling, Disaster Relief and Preparedness.
Most recently, Ball's partnership with Mile High United Way has positively impacted the community by expanding Mile High's 2-1-1 Help Center, which connects individuals to tailored resources in our community. Additionally, Ball's commitment to disaster relief, preparedness during the pandemic, and response to the Marshall Fire has benefited the state of Colorado in ways the community could not have imagined. This year to support victims of the Marshall fire, Ball coordinated with the Governor's Office and contributed $1 million to the Community Foundation Boulder County to support those most impacted by the wildfire.
Colorado Mountain Leader Medal —Clela Rorex - Advocate for LGBTQ+ Rights, Posthumous
This posthumous award is given at the discretion of the governor to community leaders who have made significant contributions to Colorado through their legacy.
Clela Rorex, who passed away on June 19, 2022, was a pioneering ally of the LGBTQ+ community. In 1975, as Boulder County Clerk, she issued marriage licenses to six same-sex couples. The move garnered widespread media attention, pushing gay marriage into the national public discourse. "I issued that [first same-sex marriage] license based on one premise — other than, of course, that it was not illegal. I was a feminist asking for equal rights, and I felt very deeply, who was I to deny equal rights to someone else asking for the same? And that was pretty much at the core of all of it and why I decided to issue those licenses."
Clela Rorex's career followed in her father's footsteps: he was a county clerk in Steamboat Springs for 30 years. Her commitment to community service lasted throughout her lifetime. She volunteered at OUT Boulder, supporting the LGBTQ+ community as an ally. Today, her legacy ripples throughout the nation's LGBTQ+ community and Colorado.

Q: Navigation Bar and Tab Bar in Cordova Background:
I have an iOS app in the app store, but it's running on a very old version of Cordova that needs to be updated.  Unfortunately, the plugins I have been using for the navigation bar and for the tab bar are not compatible with the current version of iOS.
There are HTML toolkits that include this type of functionality, but in my case, I can't use them.  I'm actually loading the web app from a web server rather than locally, and any communication errors would break HTML navigation. (I realize this is not ideal, but it is beyond my control.)
Question:
I have searched for other navigation bar and tab bar plugins, but I haven't found anything of interest.  It seems to me that I'm missing something.  Is there an easier way to add navigation controls to a Cordova app?  Is there a plugin that I haven't found?

A: I ultimately just fixed the AndiDog plugins to work on iOS8.

A: I'm not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but I have created a tab-bar system created in JS/HTML for hybrid apps and web apps. (That runs locally!). It's called app-tab-bar.

The founder, Hakim Mohammed Said Shaheed believed that civilizations, standing at the edge of the abyss of ignorance, could be salvaged by knowledge alone. The Institute is a repository of a large number of books, journals, periodicals, manuscripts and various valuable clippings from the print media. The Institute has been designed to undertake research in the history of medicine, sciences and social sciences.
The Institute has had the privilege of the association of scholars like Dr. Montgomery Watt, Dr. Hussain Nassar,Dr. Sami Khalf Hamarneh, and Dr. Hussain Qasim. With its large library, the Bait al-Hikmah Research Institute was conceived by the Founder Chancellor as the base on which the edifice of a university was to be built.


The vote escalates pressure on Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to hand over or provide adequate access to documents that have been subpoenaed months ago by members of Congress looking into potential misconduct by the DOJ and FBI in investigating the Trump campaign.
Republican lawmakers requested documents as far back as last summer, but say they have been stonewalled by Justice and FBI officials. Members of Congress believe the DOJ and FBI are doing so to avoid embarrassment and scrutiny, while DOJ and FBI officials argue it could compromise the special counsel investigation.
The resolution demands that Rosenstein turn over all requested documents by July 6. GOP lawmakers have said they could seek Rosenstein's impeachment or hold him in contempt of Congress if he does not comply.
Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray are also scheduled to testify in front of the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, setting up a potential public showdown.
Lawmakers' demand for documents reached new urgency after the Justice Department Inspector General issued a report this month showing that five FBI agents who worked on the Clinton email investigation exchanged texts that showed bias against Trump.
Strzok — who was the lead investigator on both the Clinton email and Trump-Russia investigations — had texted his lover FBI attorney Lisa Page, in August 2016, "We will stop" candidate Donald Trump from becoming president.
The potential vote on Thursday shows the speed and seriousness with which Republicans are moving.
The House Judiciary Committee just passed the resolution on Tuesday, in a 15-11 party-line vote. Democrats vociferously protested the resolution, calling it an attempt to undermine the special counsel investigation against Trump.
The resolution was spearheaded by Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Mark Meadows (R-NC), the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus.
"We want the full weight of the United States House of Representatives behind this resolution saying we are entitled, again, as a separate and equal branch of government, to get the information we need to do our oversight duty," he added.
Specifically, lawmakers are requesting information related to the FBI's use of the unverified dossier on Trump commissioned by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to obtain a surveillance warrant on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, as well as the FBI's use of government informants who approached several Trump campaign advisers.
The House Rules Committee is preparing to advance the resolution Wednesday afternoon, clearing it for a floor vote on Thursday.

Last autumn the South Korean Education Broadcasting Company decided to make a film about Forest School, including in the UK, and got in touch with me to arrange an interview. I spent a half day with them putting the academic perspective, and then sent them on to Jon as the Chair of the FSA, to film him talking about how Forest School is supported in the UK and how the training works.
Next, one of my books was translated into Korean. Then Dr Chin Jiyoun from Samyook University in Seoul got in touch, would I host a visit from 28 members of the Korean Forest Kindergarten Association (KFKA), which I did in June. Members of the FSA Essex regional group nobly accommodated groups of visitors into a range of Forest School sessions, and the Greenlight Trust helped me to organise a day's taster training at their headquarters.
From this came an invitation for Jon as the Chair of the FSA, and for me as an academic, to speak at two conferences over there during our October half term week, one for practitioners and one for both practitioners and decision makers (200 and 800 – respectively). The reason being that they wished to show the evolution of Forest School in the UK, how we have developed our 'Forest School Framework' and how it works in our primary and special schools.
During their summer visit they also visited other European countries and were particularly impressed by the 'UK frameworks' for Forest School and were interested in how we have managed to get Forest School further up the education system (at this point in time in Korea it is only present in their Kindergartens). This was to be the start of a partnership with the Korean Forest Kindergarten Association.
What a week (in late October)! I had a 10.5 hr flight through a long night, and the inevitable jet-lag that follows suddenly gaining 9hrs made the first day in Korea, Tuesday, a bit of a blur. I was still a bit blurry by the time Jon joined us on Wednesday, just in time to visit markets and a Buddhist temple (cultural orientation is very important). But during that time of orientation our gracious hosts made sure we were well fed and watered with traditional and modern dishes. We agreed that the food was definitely one of the highlights of the trip!
The glorious colours of Autumn were another joy to savour, particularly on Thursday when we spent time in two Forest kindergartens. Jon will write more for the next newsletter in his Chairman's capacity, but it was clear that the early years teachers and academics in Korea have wasted no time in taking Forest School to their hearts. And children are the same the world over, playing with sticks and mud, and revelling in the joys of the outdoors.
On Friday and Saturday we spoke at two conferences, the smaller one at the National Arboretum just outside Seoul, and the other further south in the city of Daejeon, reaching the ears and eyes of almost a thousand Korean early years experts and education decision makers. I spoke about the principles we have developed in the UK and what they look like in early years settings, while Jon had the after-lunch graveyard slot on Friday. He did a lovely exercise with sticks to wake everyone up and bring the outside into a large auditorium. This was followed by his presentation on the UK education system (highlighting some of the differences between England, Wales and Scotland) and how Forest school attempts to work in this system with examples of practice in primary and special schools. I had the after-lunch slot on Saturday and did half of the same exercise, and half of my own, getting them to be trees in Autumn!
Dr Chin, who organised the conferences, and who will hopefully also write a piece for the FSA, had organised the collection of 800 sticks "as long as my forearm" by her University nursery staff and kindergarten children. She spoke at the conferences about her own recent research, which evidenced the commitment of the Korean Forest Kindergarten Association to Forest School – in just 7 years since their association has been formed almost 40% of South Korean Kindergartens are conducting some form of Forest Kindergarten!
Another speaker was Greta, an older lady from Denmark, who had set up her own Skogsbarnehagen in the 1950s, which is now run by her granddaughters!
The presentations were well received and this has provided the foundations for a long term relationship between the FSA and KFKA. What will emerge from this we shall see – at the very least a sharing of practice between the two organisations and countries. The trip gave us both lots of food for thought and many ideas on how we could be cooperating and collaborating with like-minded organisations and practitioners across the globe.
After a day off on Sunday, climbing the Namsan mountain in the middle of Seoul, adopting a dinosaur, and taking a ride on the Metro, we flew back on Monday. The flight was 12.5 hrs and we arrived back in the UK just three hours after leaving Seoul. How does that work?!?

Futurists predict that nanotechnology will be the next major scientific revolution—one with an even greater impact than the Industrial Revolution. Nanoscale Science will help your middle and high school students understand the big implications of tiny technology.
Using guided inquiry with open-ended exploration where possible, the book's 20 investigations teach students about the unique properties and behavior of materials at the nanoscale—one-billionth of the size of a meter. The activities are organized around five themes: scale, tools and techniques, unique properties and behaviors, nanotechnology applications, and societal implications.
All activities use readily available materials and provide clear background, instructions, and formative assessments. They also explore questions sure to engage both students and you, such as:
• Just how small is one in a billion?
• How might manipulating matter at the nanoscale lead to everything from stain-resistant fabrics to improved means to clean water to tumor-targeting nanoshells?
• And how will society change when we use nanolabels to track where people, animals, and materials move around the world?
For the first time in human history, we have the ability to manipulate and build materials from the atom up. NanoScale Science—written by experts at developing effective ways to teach about nanotechnology—is a pioneering instructional guide to this important subject. Use it as a fascinating supplement to studies of biology, physics, chemistry, math, and the environment.

Why can't spiders be ten feet tall? Can an ape grow to the size of King Kong? Surface area-to-volume relationships help shed light on the question of the size limits of organisms. At the nanoscale, things are so small that surface area effects impact the behavior of materials. For example, things tend to stick together and gravity plays a minor role. This activity gives students the opportunity to explore the sizes of things and scale as they investigate questions like "Could an egg ever grow to be the size of a beach ball?"

Will clouds of self-replicating nanobots take over the world, or is this just a scene from a science fiction novel? Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field that has huge potential for transforming our world. But the reality of advances in nanoscale science falls short of the hype that has emerged from the imaginations of many futurists. Students consider a series of nanotechnology claims and decide if each one represents fact or fiction or somewhere in between. This activity is designed to capture students' imagination and to spur their interest in learning more about nanoscale science and technology.

How do students find themselves in the Community Standards (CS) office?
Should a student make the choice to violate the Student Code of Conduct found in the Student Rights Rules and Responsibilities any member of the University community may initiate a complaint with the Community Standards (CS) office.
If the circumstances surrounding the complaint indicate that a violation of the Code of Conduct may have occurred, disciplinary charges will be brought against the student. Alleged Code of Conduct violations are generally reported to CS by Residence Life staff members, Housing staff members, and University of New Hampshire Police officers.
Students will know that they have formal charges pending against them because they will receive electronic notification (sent to their University e-mail account) in the form of an incident report or violation form.
These will include a list of the pending charges, a narrative of the incident and, potentially, a request for an informal meeting.
What is an informal meeting and do I have to attend?
For more serious cases a Preliminary Meeting (cases with Level 2 and Level 3 sanctions) is the first stage of the student conduct process where students are invited to review and discuss information contained in their incident report.
They are encouraged to ask questions concerning all charges against them as well as options available within the student conduct system. If a student accepts responsibility for the violation(s) and accepts the sanctions described (by signing a statement acknowledging this) the information is forwarded to CS where the information is reviewed, and if approved, the sanction(s) are applied and the case is closed.
If a student accepts responsibility for the violation(s), but disputes at least one of the sanctions described, the student may request a sanction hearing where a hearing officer will determine sanctions.
If a student denies responsibility for the violation(s) the student may request a formal responsibility hearing (for cases with Level 3 sanctions) where a hearing panel will weigh all of the information presented and make a determination on responsibility and then sanctions if applicable.
If you choose not to attend your preliminary meeting the complainant in a case with a Level 2 sanction you will not have the ability to request a review. If you choose not to attend the preliminary meeting with the complantant for cases with a Level 3 sanction your case will be forwarded CS and a formal responsibility hearing will be scheduled.
I've been told my case needs to go to a hearing. What are my options?
There are two types of conduct hearings: Responsibility Hearings & Sanction Hearings.
A Responsibility Hearing takes place to determine whether a student is responsible for violating the Code of Conduct . If you disagree with the complainant's account of what happened or what you are being charged with, then it would be in your best interest to request a responsibility hearing. If you are found responsible for any charges in the responsibility hearing, the hearing officer will then decide the appropriate sanctions.
A Sanction Hearing takes place if you and the Complainant are in agreement about the details of the incident and violations but disagree on the proposed sanctions.
What is a responsibility hearing?
A Responsibility Hearing is the second step of the student conduct process in the more serious cases.
The hearing is an administrative process – it's not like a court of law.
For students who deny responsibility for one or more of the pending violations, the case will be resolved through a hearing.
Students alleged to have violated a policy are entitled to appear in person and present information on their own behalf.
They may call direct witnesses and ask questions of the complainant, their witness, and the complainant's witness. A University appointed Hearing Panel presides over the case.
If the Hearing Panel determines, based on a preponderance of the information presented, that the Code of Conduct has been violated, a finding of responsibility will be made and the student will then receive sanctions.
While CS does not recommend missing your hearing, it is entirely your choice to attend.
If you choose not to attend your hearing the hearing will progress without you being present, a finding of responsibility may be made based on the information presented by the complainant without your perspective and sanctions will be imposed if there is a finding of responsibility made.
A sanction is a consequence that a student receives upon accepting responsibility or being found responsible for violating University policy.
Sanctions can include, but are not limited to: fines and restitution; probation; mandated attendance at educational programs; research and reflection papers and projects; eviction or expulsion from University housing; suspension or dismissal from the University.
Can I receive more than one sanction at a time?
Sanctions are reflective of the nature and severity of an incident and consider if the student had prior misconduct and a combination of reformative and punitive sanctions may be imposed.
In all cases, education is the primary goal of any sanction applied. It is hoped that students will reflect upon the choices and decisions made in the situation, realize the impact these impacts had on both themselves and the community and determine changes that will ensure subsequent violations do not occur and their success at UNH.
If the complainant and I agree upon sanctions during a sanction hearing or responsibility hearing is this what will be imposed?
Sometimes, but not always. While each conduct case is heard individually by Hearing Panels, as a matter of fundamental fairness to all UNH students, cases with similar factors will have similar sanctions – or outcomes. A hearing officer has to maintain a perspective of history and there may be times when a hearing officer will impose seemingly more serious sanctions than what is being recommended by a complainant and respondent. The Hearing Panel will utlize the Sanction Guidelines when determining sanctions.
Can a Sanction/Responsibility hearing decision be appealed?
A student who is found responsible for violating the Code of Conduct in a responsibility hearing may submit an Petition for Review based on four very specific criteria, in writing to CS.
An Review Officer will review the petition and decide on the outcome.
The appeal may be denied, the hearing decision may be modified or overturned, or the case may be reopened.
The decision of the Review Officer is final.
A student who accepts responsibility for violating the Code of Conduct and has a sanction hearing may appeal based on two very specific criteria.
The review may be denied, sanctions may be modified, or the case may be reopened.
A student who accepts responsibility for violations and sanctions in an informal meeting waives their right to a hearing and review and the decision is final.
Can students be represented by legal counsel during the University student conduct process?
In cases where there are, or the potential for, criminal charges filed in a criminal court a student may be accompanied by legal counsel.
The student conduct process at the University of New Hampshire is an educational administrative process, not a criminal or civil proceeding.
As any information shared in a conduct hearing may be subpoenaed by a court the role of an attorney in the conduct process will be limited to protect a student's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
The attorney may only advise the charged student on what information to provide and whether or not they should answer a question posed during the hearing.
Students may consult a student advisor if they have questions or concerns about the disciplinary process.
A student advisor is a member of the University community and may be fellow students. Occasionally, CS may appoint faculty, or staff member to be an advisor if the need exists.
Are off-campus violations reported to the University student conduct system?
Violations of local, state, and federal laws may be reported to the University student conduct system.
Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the law and may be subject to University action should they choose to violate local, state, or federal laws.
If I am on probation can I study abroad?
It will be up to you to contact the study abroad program you are interested in and the Dean of your College.
These individuals will provide you with the correct information for your situation.
Will my disciplinary record affect my future plans?
For cases resulting in sanctions less than residential expulsion and suspension from the University a disciplinary record is kept on file for three years from the date of the incident. After three years the record is completely expunged.
For cases involving residential expulsion and suspension from the University a disciplinary record is kept on file for five years from the date of the incident. After five years the record is completely expunged.
In cases of University dismissal the record is kept on file indefinitely and will not be expunged.
If a student gives an employer permission to, or a graduate or professional school requests access to his or her disciplinary record prior to the record being expunged, information about the student's violation(s) and sanction(s) will be shared.
Will my financial aid package and/or scholarships be affected if I am responsible for a Code of Conduct violation?
The answer to this question depends upon the type of violation and the level of sanction applied.
You should check with the Financial Aid Office or scholarship originator for further information about your specific situation.
Can I be held in violation if something's posted online?
Information posted to social media outlets can (and has been) be very damaging to a student's reputation and may show the student in an unflattering light.
The Community Standards office does not search online for pictures, video, postings, etc. of students violating policies, nor does the office charge students solely on such online information.
However, if a member of the University community brings information of alleged violations to the attention of Community Standards, it is possible that this information will be forwarded to the appropriate University office for further investigation.
If that subsequent investigation determines signs of a violation, then charges may be applied and the information originally sent to CS could be used as evidence presented during a hearing.
If my friend and I are both drunk and I believe they need help, if I call for medical attention for my firend, will I get in trouble, too?
Student health and safety are of primary concern at the University of New Hampshire. In cases of extreme intoxication and/or alcohol poisoning, you are strongly encouraged to seek medical assistance for yourself and/or others.
When a student acts on behalf of another student and calls for help to emergency personnel or a UNH staff member for a condition stemming from the use of alcohol, both the student(s) offering assistance and the student in need of medical attention have the option of filing for medical amnesty. If Medical Amnesty is determined to be applicable, the student involved would have to attend an alcohol awareness course provided by UNH Health & Wellness. Pending completion of the alcohol awareness course the student will be found not responsible for violation of the Code of Conduct.


Home> Publications & Directories> Perspectives on History> Issues> March 2017> Letters to the Editor> On "Dear Future Historians"
I was disturbed by Allison Miller's message to future historians ("Dear Future Historians," December 2016) regarding the recent election.
I preface my remarks by saying that I was appalled by the Trump candidacy and voted—with apprehension—for Clinton.
With that out of the way, let me turn to substance.
Miller presents a series of "subcontexts" of the election's aftermath that she describes as factual to guide future historians, emphasizing that "facts matter." Her presentation strikingly exemplifies how "facts" can be invoked selectively through an ideological lens. She presents these factual "subcontexts" as deserving pride of place in evaluating the post-election situation, when in fact she has carefully chosen them to create a desired impression. It is far from clear that these "subcontexts" will be seen as major phenomena deserving of attention by historians of the future. The conceit that one can confidently instruct future historians in a piece written a few weeks after the election itself indicates that there is something amiss. Historians are not journalists.
Here are two examples of relevant, factual "subcontexts" that point away from the article's desired portrait: (1) Contrary to expectations, the stock market soared after the election, indicating investor confidence in Trump. (2) People who pilloried Trump for refusing to promise that he would accept election results attempted to persuade Trump electors to violate their commitments. Miller may have written before this effort achieved prominence, but this would only underscore the problematic character of her premature mission.
Miller tells future historians that the Trump phenomenon reminded "reasonable people . . . of . . . railroad cars that took deported Jews to death camps." She expresses reservations about the analogy without the sort of vigorous rejection that it merits.
The article points to the birther lie, but also strongly suggests a broader "eight-year campaign to undermine" President Obama because of his race. This is not a demonstrable "fact" and should not be invoked as such.
Future historians are informed that "there is the historic movement called Black Lives Matter, which I hope has not been ignored in your textbooks." I have serious reservations regarding this hope's factual underpinnings and its value-laden implications. It is premature to call BLM a "historic movement." As to values, I identify with the assessment of BLM in Commentary (bit.ly/2kOwlfL), which means that I consider it, on balance, a force for evil. If it turns out to merit prominent mention in future textbooks, I hope that it will be evaluated accordingly.
Had this article been written as an opinion piece, it would have required reasoned arguments to establish and evaluate the centrality of the highlighted developments. This presentation, however, is not only analytically problematic; by cloaking itself in the garb of pedagogical instruction informed by a historian's craft, it is also disingenuous.

By Richard Whitmire | December 2, 2020
(National Student Clearinghouse)
Black males make up the biggest share of lost community college enrollment, falling off 19% from their 2019 numbers, followed by Hispanic males at 16.6% and white males at 14% @NSClearinghouse #toandthrough
Black and brown students hit hardest by #COVID19 "are now figuring how to support their families, which means they have to step away from education for a little while," —Tacoma Community College president tells @richardwhitmir
The latest fall college enrollment figures released this month tell a startling story that alarms educators: The sharp declines at community colleges — far larger than at four-year colleges — are due mostly to disappearing male students.
At some community colleges, the losses are minor. At others, however, they are dramatic. At Southwest Tennessee Community College in Memphis, fully half of the Black male students enrolled in the spring of 2020 and still working toward graduation did not enroll this fall. That's about 830 men who did not return to Southwest, which enrolls 10,227 students, 63 percent of whom are minority.
Where are they? Community college leaders at Southwest and other community colleges have several theories.
Jacqueline Faulkner, vice president for student affairs at Southwest Tennessee Community College (Jacqueline Faulkner)
Many young men were forced to take jobs to help their families. Others were always academically fragile students prone to put off college or drop out and the pandemic pushed them over the edge. Yet others were derailed by online applications and courses or lacked technology to cope.
One factor often cited: The dramatic spring shutdown of K-12 schools severed students from the college advisers who keep them on a college track. The sharpest drop was among first-time freshmen, a plunge of nearly 19 percent, which is 19 times higher than the pre-pandemic loss rate.
Too Few Guidance Counselors, Too Little Information: Why Community College Might Be the Best Path for High School Graduates — but They'll Never Know It
All those observations are undoubtedly valid, but in truth they are more anecdotal than research-based. This cratering of male enrollment at community colleges — just updated in November — is a fresh development; everyone is scrambling to figure it out.
Southwest, for example, mobilized a task force of male faculty and staff to reach out to the 830 men to identify the barriers that caused them to leave and help them re-enroll. "We know they didn't start school to quit," said Jacqueline Faulkner, vice president for student affairs at Southwest.
What we do know nationally from the data collected by the National Student Clearinghouse is that Black males make up the biggest portion of these losses, a 19.2 percent enrollment drop from the previous fall, followed by Hispanic males, who experienced a decrease of 16.6 percent. Interestingly, white males aren't far behind, at 14 percent.
Native American students had the largest drop, at 20 percent, but they make up only .6 percent of enrollments, compared to nearly 10 percent for Black students.
Again, where are they?
Interviews with community college leaders point to the theories cited above. "Most of our students come from Hispanic households, where it is expected that men have to get out there to provide," said Rick Miranda, vice president for academic affairs at Cerritos College in the Los Angeles area.
That was the case for Cerritos student David Rosales, 21, who was a full-time student there while working part-time as a security guard. When the pandemic hit, his sister lost her job as a waitress and his mother fell ill and had to cut her hours working at a grocery store.
'That's Not a Gap Year. That's Just Not Going to College': COVID-19 Erodes Equity Gains of First-Generation College-Goers
When Rosales was offered full-time work as a guard, he accepted and dropped his classes. "I wanted to make sure we were set, and I couldn't do full time work and school." This January, however, he plans to pick up his studies in marketing again.
In Memphis, the technical and financial obstacles appear to be major players. Based on a survey, only 35 percent of Southwest's students were fully technology-equipped to handle online courses. That led to the college buying and distributing 3,500 laptops. Plus, the college used state and federal pandemic funds to boost the usual $100,000 emergency assistance fund to $500,000, money that went to tuition, food and housing assistance and restoring home utility cutoffs.
It's possible that the soon-expected vaccine will restore normalcy, prompting males to return to college-and-career tracks. But few college leaders I spoke with expected a substantial return to normalcy.
Nationally, the male enrollment drops appear to signal two separate trends playing out.
The first trend is the scary one, a possible lost generation of males from low-income and working-class families. While Black males make up an outsized portion of that group, it's important to keep an eye on white males as well, who also disappeared at very high rates.
Before COVID, there was already a severe shortage of jobs for young people with only a high school diploma; the drying up of service sector jobs during the pandemic means far fewer of those jobs. What happens to these young men over time?
To date, the Black Lives Matter movement has focused mostly on policing. This development could shift more attention to a focus on education and jobs.
The second trend is not scary. Several community college leaders say the pandemic has accelerated a trend that was building before the coronavirus crisis, an emphasis on getting specific job training, with or without attaining college credit or a degree.
That appears to be playing out in Louisiana, where there were only slight enrollment losses at South Louisiana Community College in Lafayette, which has strong workforce programs in maritime and computer science, but steep losses at Louisiana Delta Community College in Monroe, where the emphasis is more on earning degree credits, pointed out Monty Sullivan, president of the Louisiana Community & Technical College System.
Sullivan, who serves as board chair of the National Student Clearinghouse, watches these developments at both a state and national level. "There's a movement of students, who are voting with their feet. They are engaging with colleges, but they are not engaging with the semester system. They don't have four years to finish a degree. They need a skill set to go and get a paycheck."
The need to find jobs immediately probably can't explain all the male enrollment losses. Wouldn't women have to seek work as well? In part, the gender differences can be explained by the gender makeups of chosen fields. Health care jobs, which draw more women than men, require traditional degrees.
But there's another player here, one brought up by college leaders, and a factor that proved to be significant 11 years ago when I was researching Why Boys Fail: Saving our Sons from an Educational System That's Leaving Them Behind. In brief, I discovered a K-12 education system that suddenly veered to ramping up literacy skills in the very early years, a time when boys are far less capable than girls of handling those demands. The idea behind the shift, getting students on an early track to college, was noble, but educators never adjusted to those early-learning gender differences.
Many boys, especially in middle- and upper-income families, adjusted quickly and caught up in literacy skills before the end of elementary school. But many did not, thus concluding that school was "for girls." That helps explain the twin phenomenon: fewer men than women enroll in college, and fewer men than women are equipped with the intense literacy skills demanded in college, regardless of the major chosen, thus making them more fragile students.
Ivan Harrell II, president of Tacoma Community College (Ivan Harrell II)
Although all boys were impacted, including white boys from blue-collar families, the worst hit were Black males, who were more likely to face additional headwinds such as dangerous neighborhoods, troubled schools and less-stable families. The pandemic just made all that even worse.
"The pandemic highlighted so many inequities," said Ivan Harrell II, president of Washington state's Tacoma Community College. "Traditionally marginalized populations were impacted more by COVID, and they are now figuring how to support their families, which means they have to step away from education for a little while."

Q: Interfaces vs Generics? I have some work code whereby using generics has started to make the code look more confusing than it should.
Is it possible that I do away with generics and use interfaces for member types, constructor types, method parameter types and method return types?
What would generic provide, that the above using interfaces would not? I understand generics does compile-time checking when retrieving elements (to stop wrong casting- like in the old days), but wouldnt the compiler detect if I tried inserting types which were not a sub type of the interface required?

A: Generics makes the Collections more type safe.
If there is an extensive use of Collections in your working code, i will prefer sticking with
the generics.
And moreover as the infamous proverb states, "program in Interface, not in implementation", Interface is moreover for flexibility than type safety.
Generics are also used for Class, method , interfaces, variables, constructor. etc....
See these link for more details :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generics_in_Java
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/generics-136597.html

A: Interfaces announce to all how a class must behave at all times. On the other hand type parameters (generics) let a client decide how the class should behave in a particular instance.
Type parameters make a class generic by allowing it to process a range of object types with just the one set of methods and fields, and provide compile-time checking to make sure that only the specified type is being used by each particular instance.
If you try to offer such flexibility using interfaces, you will have to write multiple versions of the same methods and classes, where each version does basically the same thing but with a different explicit type. This will be boring (which leads to cut-and-paste errors) and bulky, without adding anything at all.
The generic syntax is a bit funky looking, but you quickly get used to it, so don't let the initial ugliness of the angle brackets stop you taking advantage of a powerful feature.

Vikings Stun Saints in Overtime Wild Card Thriller
Sarah Mueller
The Minnesota Vikings pulled off a big upset over the New Orleans Saints in an NFC Wild Card matchup on Sunday afternoon.
New Orleans got on the board first with a field goal early in the first quarter. Minnesota responded with a field goal of their own to tie things up 3-3.
In the second quarter, both offenses started airing out the ball. The Saints scored a touchdown and the Vikings responded with their second field goal. New Orleans marched down the field looking to advance their lead, but a costly interception gave Minnesota the ball back just before the two-minute warning.
The Vikings ran the ball in for their first touchdown of the game and took their first lead of the day as well 13-10. The Saints tried to knock in a field goal before the end of the half, but it went wide right giving Minnesota the advantage going into the locker room.
The Vikings extended their lead in the third quarter with another touchdown. Then in the fourth, the Saints mounted their comeback. New Orleans scored a touchdown to close the gap to 20-17. Minnesota did not do much offensively with their two possessions, and the Saints kicked in the game-tying field goal in the final seconds to send it into overtime.
The Vikings won the coin toss, chose to receive the ball, and wasted no time moving the chains down to the red zone. That drive ended in a game-winning touchdown for Minnesota who took it 26-20.
Kirk Cousins completed 19 of 31 for 242 yards and a touchdown. Dalvin Cook had 28 carries for 94 yards and two touchdowns. Kyle Rudolph had four catches for 31 yards and a touchdown. Adam Thielen had seven catches for 129 yards and Stefon Diggs added two catches for 19 yards.
The Vikings will advance to the NFC Divisional Round next week. They will travel to face the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday afternoon. Pre-game starts at 3:00 p.m. on AM 1240 and 95.3 FM WJON.
