Land Plan
March AFB
March AFB	locko	2016-07-19T23:35:12+00:00
MARCH AIR FORCE BASE
MarchLife is currently being constructed on surplus land of the former March Air Force Base (March AFB) – converted from an active duty base to March Air Reserve Base (March ARB) in 1996. March ARB is one of the oldest airfields operated by the United States military (since 1918), and boasts the longest runway in California.
The 452nd Air Mobility Wing represents the only unit-equipped mobility wing in the Reserve. The Wing's KC-135 Stratotankers and C-141 Starlifters enable it to effectively perform a worldwide mission 365 days a year. It is the only air mobility wing in the Air Force Reserve Command that possesses all of the elements of an air mobility wing. The 163d Air Refueling Wing (ANG) is a tenant unit at March Air Reserve Base assigned to the Air Mobility Command and the California Air National Guard.
The 4th Air Force, part of Air Force Reserve Command, is headquartered at March ARB. Air Force Reserve Command provides trained units and individuals to accomplish assigned tasks in support of national objectives, and performs peacetime missions that are compatible with training and mobilization readiness requirements. It also provides functional mission support units, including aerial port operations, civil engineer, security forces, intelligence, military training, communications, mobility support, combat logistics support, transportation and services.

Who-counts-the-votes update: Dems outspent GOP 57-1 in secretary of state races
vote22mid by N/A is licensed under Screen Grab N/A
Democrats have spent $40 million this year in their effort to gain control of who counts the votes.
The New York Times reported: "Democrats are outspending Republicans 57-to-1 on television ads for their secretary of state candidates."
And "it still may not be enough," the Times admitted.
"In 2020, Democrat secretaries oversaw a record dumping of mail-in votes," blogger Don Surber noted. "In 2024, they might not get that chance — even though the party is dumping millions into secretary of state races."
Republicans have spent just $700,000 thus far in the 2022 midterms on secretary of state races and $500,000 of that was for Brad Raffensperger to fend off challengers in the Republican primary in Georgia.
The New York Times also griped that voters were too focused on the economy and inflation and other issues "that are outside the purview of the official duties of a secretary of state. And while a vast majority of Americans view democracy as under threat, a striking few see it as a top issue," the Times added, citing a recent New York Times/Siena College poll.
"Imagine that," Surber wrote. "Grocery prices are 13% higher than a year ago and voters are not making a Democrat talking point about 'democracy in peril' their No. 1 issue."
The NY Times also slammed Republican Jim Marchant, who is running for secretary of state in Nevada, because he is the organizer of the America First Secretary of State Coalition. That coalition just happens to favor eliminating mail voting, using only paper ballots, returning to a single day of voting, and giving poll watchers unfettered access. That is the ultimate nightmare scenario for Democrats.
"It took 10 days for Biden to declare himself the winner last time," Surber noted, adding that "Republicans need to get their act together. Giving Democrats control of the counting of votes will turn the nation into Cook County, Illinois."
But the GOP may be fortunate in the 2022 midterms due to what leftist Politico termed the "quintessential curse of down-ballot races."
GOP nominees for secretary of state in Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, and Nevada are in close races in 2022. All of those GOP candidates questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election and "could be running the next presidential election" in those key states, Politico noted.
Meanwhile, election integrity developments continue to make headlines in the key swing states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona.
Acting Secretary of State Leigh M. Chapman, a Democrat, warned on Monday that the results of the Nov. 8 midterm elections likely will not be available on election night.
That delay, she alleged, will be because election workers cannot pre-canvas or count mail-in ballots before Nov. 8.
"It's really important for us to get accurate information about the election process in Pennsylvania," Chapman said. "So voters and the public know that when there are delays in counting, it doesn't mean that there's anything nefarious happening. It's just what the law is in Pennsylvania."
Chapman said it would likely take several days to count and certify the votes, the Lehigh Valley News reported.
Chapman said that 1.2 million mail-in ballots have been requested across Pennsylvania, and 43%, or more than 556,000, have been returned.
And, without offering any specific incidents, Chapman said she has concerns involving threats to interrupt voting and calls to delay the sending of mail-in ballots.
"Since I've been in office in January, we have constantly met with the FBI and Homeland Security just to talk through what the current threat landscape is and tools that we can give our counties to make sure that they have physical security protection as well as cyber security protection," she said.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Supreme Court vacated an appeals court decision that required Pennsylvania to count mail-in ballots that don't have dates on the envelope. Pennsylvania law stipulates that voters have to write the date on the outer envelope in order for their mail-in ballot to be counted.
A group of GOP lawmakers in Pennsylvania said that more than 240,000 ballots have been mailed to voters in the state this year without verifying their identity.
"According to the data, as of Oct. 21, 2022, a staggering 240,000 ballots are 'NOT VERIFIED,' " 15 Republicans in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives wrote in the Tuesday letter to Chapman.
"That is an enormous number of ballots, which, according to the law, must be set aside and not counted for the 2022 General Election unless the voter produces ID," the lawmakers wrote.
State Rep. Frank Ryan, a member of the House State Government Committee, led the letter. It cites data on unverified ballots for the Nov. 8 election produced by the Pennsylvania Department of State, which Chapman heads.
Earlier this month, the Gwinnett County Board of Elections voted to dismiss all remaining challenges to voter eligibility that had been filed by conservative residents who alleged tens of thousands of voter registration records were invalid.
In a social media post, Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington noted:
Patriots in Gwinnett County, Georgia are finding Voter Fraud in real time –– and the Elections Board is doing nothing about it! The Elections Board unlawfully threw out 37,500 challenges without a hearing, making them complicit in Voter Fraud. In just one example, there are 13 registered voters at one address. One slight problem: the property is unfinished and doesn't even have a certificate of occupancy yet!
Harrington continued: "Gwinnett County unlawfully has registered voters at P.O. Boxes, public storage units, Publix grocery stores, rock yards, auto repair shops, demolished hotels, demolished RV parks, hotels with no occupancy, and...the Gwinnett Court House. The Elections Board dismissed these challenges rather than cleaning up their rolls before the Nov. 8 Election."
The Cochise County Board of Supervisors on Monday voted to order a full hand recount of ballots for the Nov. 8 election.
Peggy Judd, one of two Republicans on the 3-member board, said that the vote was about "the people," and their right to vote and how they are "counted and feel confident in the election process."
Democrat Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who is running well behind Kari Lake in the race for governor, warned Cochise County that it would be sued if it voted in favor of the hand recount.
Arizona State Rep Mark Finchem, who is running to replace Hobbs as Secretary of State, said "there is no prohibition in law that prevents the supervisors from allowing hand counting."

By Julie Bykowicz | The Associated Press
PUBLISHED: August 23, 2017 at 5:07 a.m. | UPDATED: August 23, 2017 at 8:47 a.m.
PHOENIX — President Donald Trump opened his political rally in Phoenix with calls for unity and an assertion that "our movement is about love." Then he erupted in anger.
He blamed the media for the widespread condemnation of his response to violence at a Charlottesville, Virginia, protest organized by white supremacists. And he shouted that he had "openly called for healing, unity and love" in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy and had simply been misrepresented in news coverage.
He read from his three responses to the racially charged violence — getting more animated with each one. He withdrew from his suit pocket the written statement he'd read the day a woman was killed by a man who'd plowed a car through counter-protesters, but he skipped over the trouble-causing part that he'd freelanced at the time — his observation that "many sides" were to blame.
That, as well as his reiteration days later that "both sides" were to blame for the violence that led to the death of Heather Heyer and two state troopers, led Democrats and many Republicans to denounce Trump for not unmistakably calling out white supremacists and other hate groups.
Trump also suggested he still intends to pardon former Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is awaiting sentencing in Arizona after his conviction in federal court for disobeying court orders to stop his immigration patrols. But he left little doubt that he wanted to do it. He said he'd aimed to avoid "controversy" by not immediately granting the pardon. But Trump also said, "I'll make a prediction: I think he's going to be just fine."
Of his media criticism, the president told the crowd of thousands shoehorned into the Phoenix convention center: "You know where my heart is. I'm only doing this to show you how damned dishonest these people are."
Well after his appearance had ended, Trump sent a tweet on his Twitter account saying: "Not only does the media give a platform to hate groups, but the media turns a blind eye to the gang violence on our streets."
Trump's broadside against the media, and the "fake news" he says is out to get him, was one of several detours he took from his prepared remarks at a rally where he was introduced by Vice President Mike Pence and other speakers appealing for unity and healing.
The president unabashedly acknowledged that his own advisers had urged him to stay on message, and that he simply could not.
He went on to skewer both of Arizona's Republican senators, insisting that his coy refusal to mention their names showed a "very presidential" restraint. He said his aides had begged him, "Please, please Mr. President, don't mention any names. So I won't." Yet he'd clearly described Sen. John McCain as the reason Congress didn't repeal and replace the much-maligned Affordable Care Act, and he labeled Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake as "weak" on borders and crime.
As for how he would assist with the upcoming Herculean tasks facing Congress — passing tax reform, raising the debt ceiling, and agreeing on a budget — Trump offered little detail. He did threaten that if legislators force a government shutdown "we're building that wall," a reference to his campaign promise to close off the border with Mexico.
In the comfort of his most fervent fans, Trump often resurrects his free-wheeling 2016 campaign style, pinging insults at perceived enemies such as the media and meandering from topic to topic without a singular theme. This was Trump's eighth rally since taking office in January, and each event is attended by supporters screened by his campaign.
January 25, 2023 Letters: 48 hours, 20 dead, nothing will change
January 24, 2023 Classified documents at Mike Pence's home, too, his lawyer says
January 24, 2023 Lauren Boebert critical of Ukraine aid but can she sway Congress? Here's what Colorado experts say
January 19, 2023 Opinion: Tired of Biden and Trump? Look to these governors in 2024
January 12, 2023 Opinion: Republicans in Congress have a bigger ethics problem than George Santos
His comfort-level was apparent: As he discussed his responses to Charlottesville, he interrupted himself. "I didn't want to bore you. You understand where I'm coming from. You people understand."
Outside the rally, the divisiveness seen across the country was on display.
One man on a loudspeaker said the largely Latino protesters belong in the kitchen. A Trump opponent hoisted a sign depicting the president with horns. A day of noisy but largely peaceful protests turned unruly after his speech, as police fired pepper spray at crowds after someone apparently lobbed rocks and bottles at officers.
Trump is on a two-day trip to the west, which continues Wednesday with travel to an American Legion convention in Reno, Nevada. He began his Arizona visit Tuesday with a brief trip to the southern edge of the country, touring a Marine Corps base in Yuma that is a hub of operations for the U.S. Border Patrol.
His focus on immigration and rallying a supportive crowd offered a respite from a more uncomfortable development in his presidency.
Trump on Monday announced in an address to the nation a plan to maintain a U.S. military presence in Afghanistan, upending a campaign vow to end America's longest war. Senior U.S. officials said Trump's strategy may involve sending up to 3,900 more troops, with some deployments beginning almost immediately.
Associated Press writers Jill Colvin, Darlene Superville, Alan Fram in Washington and Josh Hoffner in Phoenix contributed to this report.

Where O' Where Has Professional Development Gone?
Report cards are going out… parent conferences… more professional development to help you in the classroom. What… another helping of state testing statistics and "housekeeping" rather than technology-integration development sessions? I know that state testing is very important, but it is a shame that some schools just focus on the results and not how to help teachers get to those results. I was recently at the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) Regional Conference in Baltimore, and sadly this is what I repeatedly heard from teachers at our workshops.
Receive more assistance/resources from their district—planning time, "true" development workshops, money (or grant writing help) to purchase scan converters, projectors, computers, trainers, etc.
This week I thought it best to emphasize Professional Development, since this is truly the basis of effective technology-integration in your classroom. Next week, I'll be back with a few cross-curricular integration ideas that will make your classroom the Interactive and Student-Focused envy of all!
Can I get an "AMEN" from the congregation?!?!?!?
Monika I really love reading all your posts, thanks for your info!

Reshaping International Arbitration
By Duarte G Henriques
Paris | New York | Lisbon
A Contribution for the Improvement of Efficiency in IDR
(A work in progress)
International Arbitration has become too costly, time consuming and, therefore, inefficient. Parties from different parts of the world insist in bringing their own legal practices and traditions to arbitration. More undesirably than not, some bring their own guerrilla apparatus, ranging from raising challenges against one or more arbitrators to request lengthy and costly evidentiary production like discovery or full-fledged cross-examination of witnesses.
It is true that there is significant and fundamental progress in International Arbitration. For instance, the use of technology now allows tribunals to hold hearings remotely from virtually anywhere in the globe, and the electronic filing of motions can dispense with the telefax. However, the technological revolution has not been accompanied by procedural efficiency and swiftness in the decision-making process. Instead of a streamlined mechanism, arbitration proceedings are increasingly subject to regulation and to an undesired level of standardisation that doesn't necessarily bring more predictability. It may also be said that, to some extent, some pieces of soft law have allowed parties to replicate in arbitration the procedures they are familiar with in state courts. The use of evidence production, and more particularly discovery (combined with "e-discovery"), by US law firms elicits this idea.
Definitely, arbitration is not what it used to be.
International Arbitration is not what it used to be
So why not take a step back whilst also keeping the positive improvements?
To do that, one needs to look at the early days of arbitration and ask what was it that made it become so popular in the first place. Why did parties started resorting to arbitration instead of going to state courts?
There are a few reasons related to the legal framework that contributed to such popularity, in particular the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Arbitral Awards of 1958, and the UNCITRAL Model Law that made arbitration national laws seemingly similar among themselves.
However, the main reasons that led parties to opt for arbitration can be summarised in a few features:
Swiftness, thus reduced time and costs;
Flexibility of the proceedings;
Confidentiality;
Neutrality of the seat;
Neutrality and / or expertise of the decision-makers appointed by the parties;
Finality of the award.
The proceedings must of course comply with a few indispensable principles, namely:
The right to properly present the case;
Equality of arms;
Independence and impartiality of the decision maker.
Therefore, my notion of reshaping arbitration is to go back to a proceeding where those basic principles are observed, and where there is extensive use of new technologies, but limited similarities to state court litigation. At the same time, arbitrators must be granted – and indeed exercise – more power in managing the proceedings. And be free from any paranoia on due process.
Accordingly, the arbitral proceeding should follow a "less is more" policy:
less time to file submissions and strict compliance to a timetable agreed between the parties and the tribunal;
less (and less lengthy) written submissions;
immediate production of evidence and limited requests for production of evidence;
first Case Management Conference as soon as possible and covering as many aspects as possible; desirably, the aim of this Case Management Conference is to produce a combination of a "terms of reference" and a "procedural order Nr. 1";
use of technological protocols to exchange submissions, make decisions, and produce notices;
streamlined procedures in the making of procedural orders;
use of technology to hold hearings and other conferences.
In any event, an efficient arbitration needs to have more of:
predictability;
control of costs;
background on the decision-makers;
control on ethical conduct.
There are already a handful of profiling and procedural tools that help tribunals and parties to accomplish those results and provide the necessary information to select the best possible decision maker for each case.

One of the most important parts of the human eye is the retina. The retina is what accepts light and turns it into electrical impulses that get sent to the brain. So many people ask their Miami eye doctor about this part of their eye because they are curious as to how it works. There are many interesting things regarding the retina, and there are also many conditions that people can suffer from which can affect their retina. If someone's retina is not properly accepting light or has something blocking it, they will have patches of vision missing. However, most problems with the retina can be diagnosed by your eye doctor in Miami Beach and resolved one way or another.
There are a number of issues that people can suffer from regarding their retina. Some are more commonly seen by doctors in Miami Beach, but there are others which are pretty rare. Here are some retinal issues that people can suffer from.
● A retinal detachment. This is where the retina becomes detached from the back portion of the eye. It can be replaced with surgery, but a retinal detachment can lead to total blindness if not corrected.
● A blockage of the retina. When objects get into the vitreous humor and block the light that's supposed to land on the retina, people can see distorted or unclear images. However, the objects can be removed from the vitreous humor and complete vision can be restored.
● Damage to the retina is the most common reason people suffer from partial or total blindness. However, regular eye exams can expose these problems and treatments can be provided before someone loses their sight.
Depending on what type of issue someone is dealing with, surgery may be the option for them. In the case of a retinal detachment, there are many operations which can replace it into its correct position. Your Miami optometrist will be able to distinguish how misplaced your retina is and what type of operation is going to be necessary. If the retina itself is damaged, however, there may not be much that can be done to restore your eyesight. A retinal blockage can also be corrected by removing the object that's causing the obstruction from the vitreous humor.

Scientists Are Trying To Map Out The Marijuana Genome
Unlocking the secrets of cannabis for public good or private profit?
byAdam Drury
The drive to bring cannabis cultivation up to speed with the sophisticated technologies employed by major agriculture companies has prompted something like a research and development arms race. The objective is clear: map the entire marijuana genome.
It's difficult to overstate the significance of knowing the DNA sequence of cannabis chromosomes. Future strains, future products, future applications… The fate of the next era of cannabis lies in the still-incomplete map of the marijuana genome.
Yet it's not just the prospect of breeding better, more specialized strains. The stakes of the race to map the weed genome are much higher.
Namely, who will own the priceless information twisted up in the DNA of cannabis plants? The public? Or private corporations?
At bottom, the possibility of wresting total control over marijuana's genes is an attractive one for major agriculture companies. Indeed, they've been doing the same thing with corn, tomatoes, soy and other crops for decades.
And to make sure they're the first across the finish line, ag companies are recruiting a small army of scientists. At the same time, however, other scientists are racing to place knowledge about the marijuana genome in the public domain, which would help protect it from being patented.
Is There An Ulterior Motive Behind Efforts To Map Weed's DNA?
A recent Bloomberg story on the issue frames scientists' work mapping the marijuana genome as motivated by "the prospect of making good on some of the loftier possibilities for legal marijuana."
Yet some of those "loftier possibilities" exceed simply developing new products. Certainly, full knowledge of the cannabis genome would provide innumerable benefits in that respect.
Obviously, figuring out which genes are responsible for different effects and functions could dramatically improve our understanding of the medicinal properties of cannabis. It would help create recreational products better-tailored to customers' unique needs and desires. And on top of that, there's the immense potential for improving and expanding the use of industrial hemp.
Of course, mapping plant genomes is hardly a new concept. "At Monsanto, they do the same thing," professor and director of informatics at the J. Craig Venter Institute in California Todd Michael told Bloomberg.
But when Monsanto uses these techniques to develop a new strain of corn or wheat, they patent the genome. Infamously litigious, Monsanto has filed thousands of lawsuits against small farmers for infringing on their "copyright" of the DNA.
The result is that communities and individual growers are disempowered, while a powerful transnational corporation gets rich off the exclusive rights to a strain of corn.
Todd Michael previously led the Genome Center at Monsanto. Today, he's a scientific advisor to a company called Sunrise Genetics. Sunrise, led by CEO CJ Shwartz, is a Colorado company that's leading the pack on mapping weed's DNA. Michael's lab even did a portion of the physical sequencing for Sunrise.
Ultimately, the future of cannabis depends on whose hands the map ends up in. Those of a private and powerful corporation, or in the hands of the public.
Showdown Looms Over Control Of Marijuana Genome
Some scientists want to protect marijuana's genome from ending up locked behind a patent.
Mowgli Holmes and his startup, Phylos Bioscience, don't have access to the coordinated research team Sunrise does. And like all scientists studying cannabis, they're stymied by federal prohibition.
However, Holmes and his team are unique in that they're not concerned about how businesses will use the full genome map.
Instead, they're making all of their DNA sequences and genetic information available to the public as part of a large, interactive database called the Galaxy. Companies can't get a patent on anything that's been in the public domain for more than a year.
Furthermore, a company has to show that the genome of a plant they've bred is significantly different from naturally occurring ones. The more strains Phylos can add to the Galaxy, the harder it will be for corporations to patent an individual strain.
"We set out to bring more knowledge and transparency to the industry, and that's still what we're doing," said Phylos Sales and Marketing Manager Carolyn White.
Interest in the genetics of cannabis will only continue to grow. And as it does, competition over control of the marijuana genome is likely to intensify.

Preventing Workplace Violence for Canada
# Course Code: REL-CAN-SRC-0-PWVC
Violent acts including assaults and threats are not uncommon in the workplace and cause a substantial risk of physical or emotional harm to employees and employers. Violent acts or threats that occur in or are related to the workplace are known as workplace violence. Workplace violence is a growing concern for employers and employees nationwide. Healthcare workers, in particular, have faced a major risk of workplace violence for many years. The Canadian Centre of Occupational Health and Safety, or CCOHS, is governed by a tripartite Council which represents government, employers, and employees to ensure a balanced approach to workplace health and safety issues. At a provincial level, occupational health and safety legislation specifically addresses laws related to workplace violence. In Ontario, for example, Bill 168 strengthens protection for workers by clearly defining workplace violence and harassment, as well as describing employer responsibilities. Your employer is required to have policies that help you prepare for and protect yourself against workplace violence. While not every incident of workplace violence can be prevented, these policies help reduce the severity of injuries sustained by staff members. In this course, you will learn how to identify and protect yourself from violence in the workplace and, whenever possible, prevent it, as well as the steps to take following an incident of workplace violence.
Course Code: REL-CAN-SRC-0-PWVC
Hours: 0.5
Define and list two examples of workplace violence.
List the five main components of an effective workplace violence prevention program.
List three steps to take if workplace violence does occur.

Buns of Sable: The Burger King Halloween Whopper
October 3, 2015 — It was the first day of October. I was in Salem. And I was eating a Halloween Whopper. It's like I went through the jack-o-lantern-shaped door, folks.
We've gotten to the point of a highly mainstreamed Halloween Season where it's impossible to keep up with all the new Halloween food products. New packaging, new flavors, new forms, new names, and new products cram the shelves of our food sellers from the cereal aisles to the beer aisles to the pet food aisles and all restaurants thereabout.
But Burger King has gone and outdone them all this year and possibly for a few years to come by creating something not even the maddest of our food makers has ever created: A Halloween burger. Actually, by changing their signature product, they went full Halloween Oreo, altering its name, its packaging, and, most shockingly, its appearance. Heck, they went further. They changed its taste.
We walked into the Witch City Burger King to find every horizontal space pointy with paper bone crowns, like we'd walked into whatever Hell dimension the Event Horizon disappeared into. On the digital menu above the register, the Halloween Whopper stood bold against a black background that flickered with lightning, staring down at us like it was the eater and we the limited edition food promo.
The Halloween Whopper is burger with a black bun and orange cheese. That simple. But its path went by way of Japan to get here. In that country, where people have an entire section of taste buds on their tongues dedicated to novelty, Burger King introduced what has become known as the Goth Burger, a black-bunned, black-patty, black-cheese, black hole of a burger. They used squid ink to dye it.
But knowing the United Squeamish of America wouldn't be able to handle squid excretions all over their ground-up cow, Burger King repackaged it brilliantly, first by tying it to Halloween and then by ascribing the color of the bun to good old American A.1. sauce. And by American, I mean British. This wasn't a huge jump for Burger King. The chain had already started doing A.1. as a burger sauce in markets earlier this year, and Five Guys has been doing A.1.-sauced burgers since I've been killing myself there.
But nobody has captured its essence in a bun. And for sure nobody has ever spelled Halloween as HA.1.loween.
Judging by the reactions online, it's divisive, as brilliance often is. Some people are put off by the color of the bun, as if they've never seen rye bread before. Others make easy biological jokes that apply to everything on every fast food menu.
However, I'm defending this thing. To the point that I'm writing about something that every other blogger has already chewed up by this point in the season. I love the concept and want it known that I was there for Halloween 2015, the year of the Halloween Whopper. And I dig it not just in the they-stuck-Halloween-in-the-name-so-I-have-to kind of way. I also dig it aesthetically. Seeing the promo shots and television commercials for it, I'm starting to think that black or even dark brown burger buns are way better looking than the bland beige and white buns we've put up with for decades. I'll never look at them as anything but boring now.
When we got the burgers to our table, plural because of course everyone in my family wanted a Halloween Whopper, we found it wrapped in a gorgeous mummy-themed wrapper that would have been Halloween news enough by itself. Even better, it made the black buns feel like an old desiccated mummy whose linen we had to unwrap to get to. That aspect was probably not mentioned in the marketing brainstorm meeting.
You've probably noticed that I've been praising this thing every which way you can except for the one thing it's (arguably) intended for, being food. So how does it taste?
I don't really have an answer for that.
See, I've never eaten a regular Whopper before. And I don't mean that in an annoying-superior- health-conscious kind of way. I love fast food, but for some reason, with the exception of Wendy's, I rarely order fast food beef at any of the big chains. I just don't like, I don't know, how soggy the sandwiches end up being. So I eat chicken nuggets and spicy chicken sandwiches and fries like they'll make me immortal. And the chicken thing is weird because at nice restaurants you'll never catch me in a million years ordering mere yard fowl.
The other oddity is that I'm not even close to being a Burger King fan. This visit plus one earlier this year where I found myself at an airport terminal in Atlanta with no other options is the only two times I've eaten at Burger King in years. Probably since the last time they had Halloween Simpson toys, I think. Come to think of it, I only go to Burger King during certain Halloweens. Like the year of the Universal Monster toys. I'm suddenly understanding the bounds of our relationship.
So I don't like Whoppers in the first place. And I barely touched the Halloween Whopper. But they got me into their restaurant, got me to buy it, and got me to defend and congratulate them publically. And they got me to dry off its mummy wrapper and fold it neatly for eventual placement in my safe deposit box. Along with a bone crown.


President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday afternoon from the Oval Office protecting First Amendment rights on campus and condemning discrimination against conservative speech.
"We reject oppressive speech codes, censorship, political correctness, and every other attempt by the hard left to stop people from challenging ridiculous and dangerous ideas. These ideas are dangerous. Instead, we believe in free speech, including online and including on campus," Trump released in a statement.
The executive order allows federal government agencies to withhold grant funding from universities engaged in stifling free speech or discriminating against speech administrators politically oppose.
"Agencies will take appropriate steps to ensure that college and university campuses are places of free thought and debate. The Trump Administration believes that public schools should fulfill their obligation to uphold the First Amendment and private schools should comply with their stated institutional policies regarding free speech," the White House released. "The Trump Administration believes that schools should promote free speech and be transparent about their speech policies."
President Trump previewed the executive order during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Committee last month.
The White House invited a number of students from Young America's Foundation [YAF], Campus Reform, Turning Point USA, The Leadership Institute and other organizations to attend the signing.
For years YAF has issued lawsuits against universities for infringing on the free speech rights of students.
The Left should be the MOST supportive of Trump's Executive Order on Free Speech.
The executive order also addresses issues of overwhelming student loan debt and giving students clearer ways to make decisions about higher education.

It's not every day that you see someone you know on your favorite TV show– which is why I was so psyched to see Kurt on The Colbert Report Tuesday night. Stephen Colbert talked to Kurt about his new book Reset: How This Crisis Can Restore Our Values and Renew America.
Their six minute conversation is really amusing: in part because Colbert's questions are totally absurd, and in part because it's bizarre to see Kurt on the other side of the interview table.
And Colbert is on my personal Good List. When the cameras weren't rolling he told Kurt that he listens to Studio 360 while shaving and is a big fan. Score!

Q: Pyparsing: How do I store a token into a following list/group? I'm trying to write a parser with pyparsing.  Here's a snippit from my grammar definitions:
import pyparsing as pp

Modifier = pp.Word(pp.alphas)
Name = pp.Literal("foobar")
Sentence = pp.Optional(Modifier) + Name + pp.Group(pp.OneOrMore(Modifier))

And here's what happens when I parse a sample string:
>>> print Sentence.parseString("testA FOOBAR testB testC")
['testA', 'FOOBAR', ['testB', 'testC']]

Is there any way to modify my grammar rules above so it pushes the first optional modifier into the following group?
Example:
>>> print MagicSentence.parseString("test A FOOBAR testB testC")
['FOOBAR', ['testA', 'testB', 'testC']]

A: The most straightforward way to do this is to parse it pretty much as you have done, but add a parse action to Sentence to do the element re-arranging. Something like this:
>>> def moveLeadingItem(tokens):
...     first = tokens[0]
...     del tokens[0]
...     tokens[-1].insert(0,first)
...
>>> Sentence.setParseAction(moveLeadingItem)
>>> print Sentence.parseString("testA foobar testB testC")
['foobar', ['testA', 'testB', 'testC']]
