Time running out for civil rights cases
ATLANTA, Aug. 23 (UPI) -- Longstanding U.S. civil-rights cases haven't been solved despite promises made during the Bush administration to pursue racially motivated crimes, critics say.
Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales warned in 2007 killers of blacks during the civil rights era: "You have not gotten away with anything. We are still on your trail." But there have been no federal indictments since that announcement, The New York Times reported Monday.
Families of victims who were killed in racially motivated crimes more than 40 years ago are still waiting for resolution despite the millions of dollars authorized by Congress to finance the Civil Rights-Era Cold Case Initiative heralded by Gonzales' statement, the newspaper said.
No FBI field agents have been assigned to pursue the cases full-time and time is running out, the Times reported.
Attorney General Eric Holder pointed out 56 of 109 cases have been closed, with many more on the brink of closing. But critics say that's due to some cases being shut down because they are long-shots or the suspects are dead.
Federal officials objected to the criticism, saying they have an obligation to review every case.
"The goal of the cold case initiative is about more than bringing justice to bear in these cases; it is also about telling the truth to these families and hopefully bringing about some closure," Michael Kortan, a spokesman for the FBI, said.

After Dinner Remarks by President Obama at Parliamentary Dinner
9:09 P.M. AEST
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, Prime Minister Gillard and Leader Abbot, thank you both for your wonderfully warm words. And I thank you for showing that in Canberra, as in Washington, people may not always see eye-to-eye, but on this we are all united: There are no better friends than the United States and Australia. (Applause.)
Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, and distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, I am going to be brief, for we have had a busy day. I am not sure what day it is. (Laughter.) Am I'm going to subject you to a very long speech tomorrow.
But I do want to express my deep appreciation for the way you've welcomed me here today. I know that I am not the first guy from Chicago to come to these parts. A century ago, Walter Burley Griffin came here with a vision for this city. He said, "I have planned a city that is not like any other in the world." And tonight, I want to thank all of you -- and the people of Australia -- for the hospitality that is unlike any other in the world.
Our toasts earlier tonight reminded me of a story. It's from our troops -- this is true story -- our troops serving together in Afghanistan. Our guys, the Americans, couldn't figure out why your guys were always talking about cheese. All day long. Morning, noon and night. Why are the Aussies always talking about cheese? And then, finally, they realized -- it was their Australian friends just saying hello, just saying "cheers." (Laughter.)
So we Americans and Australians, we may not always speak the same way, or use the same words, but I think it's pretty clear, especially from the spirit of this visit, and our time together this evening, that we understand each other. And we see the world in the same way -- even if we do have to disagree on the merits of vegemite. (Laughter.)
As many of you know, I first came to Australia as a child. But despite my visits, I have to admit I never did learn to talk "Strine." I know there is some concern here that your Australian language is being Americanized. So perhaps it's time for us to reverse the trend. Tonight, with your permission, I'd like to give it a burl. (Laughter and applause.)
I want to thank the Prime Minister for a very productive meeting that we had today. I think she'll agree it was a real chinwag. (Laughter.) When Julia and I meet, we listen to each other, we learn from each other. It's not just a lot of earbashing. (Laughter.) That's a good one -- earbashing. (Laughter.) I can use that in Washington. (Laughter.) Because there's a lot of earbashing sometimes. (Laughter.)
That's been the story of our two nations. Through a century of progress and struggle, we have stood together, in good times and in bad. We've faced our share of sticky wickets. (Laughter.) In some of our darkest moments -- when our countries have been threatened, when we needed a friend to count on -- we've always been there for each other. At Darwin. At Midway. After 9/11 and after Bali.
It's that moment, in the midst of battle -- when the bullets are flying and the outcome is uncertain -- when Americans and Aussies look over at each other, knowing that we've got each other's backs, knowing in our hearts -- no worries, she'll be right. (Laughter and applause.)
And so tonight -- as we mark 60 years of this remarkable alliance, through war and peace, hardship and prosperity -- we gather together, among so many friends who sustain the bonds between us, and we can say with confidence and with pride: The alliance between the United States and Australia is deeper and stronger than it has ever been -- spot on -- (laughter) -- cracker-jack -- (laughter) -- in top nick. (Laughter.)
Thank you very much, everybody. (Applause.)

To those who wish to know what the Anarchists have to say, these words are addressed. We have to say that not Anarchism, but the state of society which creates men of power and greed and the victims of power and greed, is responsible for the death of both McKinley and Czolgosz. Anarchism has this much to do with assassination, that as it teaches the possibility of a society in which the needs of life may be fully supplied for all, and in which the opportunities for complete development of mind and body shall be the heritage of all; as it teaches that the present unjust organization of the production and distribution of wealth must finally be completely destroyed, and replaced by a system which will insure to each the liberty to work, without first seeking a master to whom he must surrender a tithe of his product, which will guarantee his liberty of access to the sources and means of production; as it teaches that all this is possible without the exhaustion of body and mind which is hourly wrecking the brain and brawn of the nations in the present struggle of the workers to achieve a competence, it follows that Anarchism does create rebels. Out of the blindly submissive, it makes the discontented; out of the unconsciously dissatisfied, it makes the consciously dissatisfied. Every movement for the social betterment of the peoples, from time immemorial, has done the same. And since among the ranks of dissatisfied people are to be found all manner of temperaments and degrees of mental development — just as are found among the satisfied also — it follows that there are occasionally those who translate their dissatisfaction into a definite act of reprisal against the society which is crushing them and their fellows. Assassination of persons representing the ruling power is such an act of reprisal. There have been Christian assassins, Republican assassins, Socialist assassins, and Anarchist assassins; in no case was the act of assassination an expression of any of these religious or political creeds, but of temperamental reaction against the injustice created by the prevailing system of the time (excluding, of course, such acts as were merely the result of personal ambition or derangement). Moreover, Anarchism less than any of these can have anything to do in determining a specific action, since, in the nature of its teaching, every Anarchist must act purely on his own initiative and responsibility; there are no secret societies nor executive boards of any description among Anarchists. But that among a mass of people who realize fully what a slaughter-house capitalism has made of the world, how even little children are daily and hourly crippled, starved, doomed to the slow death of poisoned air, to ruined eyesight, wasted limbs, and polluted blood; how through the sapping of the present generation's strength the unborn are condemned to a rotten birthright, all that riches may be heaped where they are not needed; who realize that all this is as unnecessary and stupid as it is wicked and revolting; that among these there should be some who rise up and strike back, whether wisely or unwisely, effectively or ineffectively, is no matter for wonder; the wonder is there are not more. The hells of capitalism create the desperate; the desperate act, — desperately!
Many offences had come through the acts of William McKinley. Upon his hand was the "damned spot" of official murder, the blood of the Filipinos, whom he, in pursuance of the capitalist policy of Imperialism, had sentenced to death. Upon his head falls the curse of all the workers against whom, time and time again, he threw the strength of his official power. Without doubt he was in private life a good and kindly man; it is even probable he saw no wrong in the terrible deeds he had commanded done. Perhaps he was able to reconcile his Christian belief, "Do good to them that hate you," with the slaughters he ordered; perhaps he murdered the Filipinos "to do them good"; the capitalist mind is capable of such contortions. But whatever his private life, he was the representative of wealth and greed and power; in accepting the position he accepted the rewards and the dangers, just as a miner, who goes down in the mine for $2.50 a day or less, accepts the danger of the firedamp. McKinley's rewards were greater and his risks less; moreover, he didn't need the job to keep bread in his mouth; but he, too, met an explosive force — the force of a desperate man's will. And he died; not as a martyr, but as a gambler who had won a high stake and was struck down by the man who had lost the game: for that is what capitalism has made of human well-being — a gambler's stake, no more.
Who was this man? No one knows. A child of the great darkness, a spectre out of the abyss! Was he an Anarchist? We do not know. None of the Anarchists knew him, save as a man with whom some few of them had exchanged a few minutes' conversation, in which he said that he had been a Socialist, but was then dissatisfied with the Socialist movement. The police said he was an Anarchist; the police said he attributed his act to the influence of a lecture of Emma Goldman. But the police have lied before, and, like the celebrated Orchard, they need "corroborative evidence." All that we really know of Czolgosz is his revolver shot and his dying words: "I killed the President because he was the enemy of the people, the good, working people." All between is blank. What he really said, if he said anything, remains in the secret papers of the Buffalo Police Department and the Auburn prison. If we are to judge inferentially, considering his absolutely indifferent behavior at his "trial," he never said anything at all. He was utterly at their mercy, and had they been able to twist or torture any word of his into a "conspiracy," they would have done it. Hence it is most probable he said nothing.
Was he a normal or an abnormal being? In full possession of his senses, or of a disturbed or weak mentality? Again we do not know. All manner of fables arose immediately after his act as to his boyhood's career; people knew him in his childhood as evil, stupid, cruel; even some knew him who had heard him talk about assassinating the President years before; other legends contradicted these; all were equally unreliable. His indifference at the "trial" may have been that of a strong man enduring a farce, or of a clouded and nonrealizing mind. His last words were the words of a naive and devoted soul, a soul quite young, quite unselfish, and quite forlorn. If martyrdom is insisted upon, which was the martyr, the man who had had the good of life, who was past middle years, who had received reward and distinction to satiety, who had ordered others killed without once jeopardizing his own life, and to whom death came more easily than to millions who die of long want and slow tortures of disease, or this young strong soul which struck its own blow and paid with its own life, so capable of the utterest devotion, so embittered and ruined in its youth, so hopeless, so wasted, so cast out of the heart of pity, so altogether alone in its last agony? This was the greater tragedy — a tragedy bound to be repeated over and over, until "the good working people" (in truth they are not so good) learn that the earth is theirs and the fullness thereof, and that there is no need for any one to enslave himself to another. This Anarchism teaches, and this the future will realize, though many martyrdoms lie between.

Andie MacDowell says her grey hair has made her dating life 'better'
Amber Raiken
July 25, 2022, 11:54 AM ·2 min read
Andie MacDowell revealed how her dating life has changed since embracing her grey hair and how she's open to falling in love again.
The 64-year-old actor was asked about dating and if she's received any "male attention" since going grey during a recent interview with The Sunday Times. MacDowell says while her romantic life has improved, she still wants men to "appreciate" her for who she is now.
"It's better. I might have looked younger and more acceptable to someone before, but I want to be appreciated for where I am, for my age," she told the publication.
"And the response from men has been, 'You look beautiful.' I think my eyes look greener and it has made them pop in a way they didn't before."
She also noted that while she's not on the dating apps, she "could relate to" finding comfort in being on her own. Upon finding a stationary card of a woman in her fifties dressed up and lying in bed, MacDowell said that when she noticed that the card read, "Alone at last," she "laughed so hard".
However, she still said that if she connected with someone on a "romantic" level, she would "accept" a new relationship.
"If somebody came in and enhanced my life, someone I was going to be romantic with, you know, sexual with, maybe," she said. "I would accept it."
The former fashion model went on to acknowledge how relationships "just don't show up" and that she has currently been more focused on her "friendships" than her love life.
"To tell you the truth they just don't show up," she explained. "And I'm not going on an app. It's not going to happen. My friends keep encouraging me to be in relationships. But I said, you know what really matters to me right now are friendships. And I'm working really hard on that. And why can't that be enough?"

Elsewhere in the interview, MacDowell spoke about how people reacted when she decided to embrace her natural grey hair and stopped dyeing it brown. She expressed how "relieved" she was that fans and peers "weren't cruel."
"They could have been mean to me. But everybody was very loving and kind and I was relieved because I really like it. I feel more comfortable," she explained.
The Four Weddings and a Funeral star also said that even though she was advised not to let her grey hair grow, she didn't agree.
"People kept saying to me, 'It's not time,' but I disagreed. I was kowtowing to everybody else's beliefs, but I truly want to be where I am and look my age," she added.

lastbookofthebible is about the Last book of the Bible. It is an indepth look at the Revelation of Jesus Christ or rather at what happens as the Revelation unfolds.
It is quite possible that society however battered might actually survive for the most part the series of events that unfold from chapter four onward.
There has been a lot of hype and argument over this book.
All believers are raptured before the tribulation. Rapture and second coming are separate events. Israel and the Church are on separate tracks.
Essential Definition: Premillennialism believes that there will be a literal, physical reign of Jesus Christ with the saints on this earth before the institution of the eternal state. It believes that this will happen at the second coming, at the glorious visible return of Jesus Christ at the end of this age. Hence it is called Premillennialism, believing in a premillennial return of Jesus Christ.
The mid-tribulation position espouses that the rapture will occur at some point in the middle of what is popularly called the tribulation period, or during Daniel's 70th Week. However, since the Bible only uses "tribulation" to refer to the second half of Daniel's 70th week, from a mid-tribulationist's point of view he is a pre-tribulationist. The tribulation is typically divided into two periods of 3.5 years each. Mid-tribulationists hold that the saints will go through the first period (Beginning of Travail, which is not "the tribulation"), but will be raptured into Heaven before the severe outpouring of God's wrath in the second half of what is popularly called the tribulation. Mid-tribulationists appeal to Daniel 7:25 which says the saints will be given over to tribulation for "time, times, and half a time," – interpreted to mean 3.5 years. At the halfway point of the tribulation, the Antichrist will commit the "abomination of desolation" by desecrating the Jerusalem temple (to be built on what is now called the Temple Mount.
The pre-tribulation position advocates that the rapture will occur before the beginning of the seven-year tribulation period, while the second coming will occur at the end of the seven-year tribulation period. Pre-tribulationists often describe the rapture as Jesus coming for the church and the second coming as Jesus coming with the church.
The prewrath rapture view also places the rapture at some point during the tribulation period before the second coming. This view holds that the tribulation of the church begins toward the latter part of the seven-year period, being Daniel's 70th week, when the Antichrist is revealed in the temple. This latter half of the seven-year period [i.e. 3 1/2 years] is defined as the great tribulation, although the exact duration is not known. References from Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 are used as evidence that this tribulation will be cut short by the coming of Christ to deliver the righteous by means of the rapture, which will occur after specific events in Revelation, in particular after the sixth seal is opened and the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood. However, by this point many Christians will have been slaughtered as martyrs by the Antichrist. After the rapture will come God's seventh-seal wrath of trumpets and bowls (a.k.a. "the Day of the Lord"). The Day of the Lord's wrath against the ungodly will follow for the remainder of the seven years.
is a view in Christian end-times theology named for its rejection of the theory that Jesus Christ will have a thousand-year-long, physical reign on the earth. This is in opposition to premillennial and some postmillennial interpretations of chapter 20 of the Book of Revelation.
In contrast, the amillennial view holds that the thousand years mentioned in Revelation 20 is a symbolic number, not a literal description; that the millennium has already begun and is identical with the current church ag , (or more rarely, that it ended with the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 — see Preterism). Amillennialism holds that while Christ's reign during the millennium is spiritual in nature, at the end of the church age, Christ will return in final judgment and establish a permanent physical reign.
Its possible by the time of B B Warfield, St Augustine's thinking on premillenialism may have become monergism.
The post-tribulation position places the rapture at the end of the tribulation period. Post-tribulation writers define the tribulation period in a generic sense as the entire present age, or in a specific sense of a period of time preceding the second coming of Christ. The emphasis in this view is that the church will undergo the tribulation — even though the church will be spared the wrath of God. Matthew 24:29–31 – "Immediately after the Tribulation of those days…they shall gather together his elect…" – is cited as a foundational scripture for this view. Post-tribulationists perceive the rapture as occurring simultaneously with the second coming of Christ. Upon Jesus' return, believers will meet him in the air and will then accompany him in his return to the Earth. In the Epistles of Paul, most notably in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, a trumpet is described as blowing at the end of the tribulation to herald the return of Christ; Revelation 11:15 further supports this view.
There are also 6 views of Eschatology in general.
A friend if mine writes, "Revelation is like Deuteronomy in the way it is set up, as a suzerain treaty. It may be on the web, as it is out of print, but in seminary we had to read Meredith Kline's Treaty of the Great King." Very interesting. I found some of her book on the covenant structure of Deuteronomy. It seems to show how Revelation fits the same pattern in its overall structure in some people's view. That only concerns Revelation, however, not the whole of eschatology.
Christian eschatological view that interprets prophecies of the Bible as events which have already happened. Daniel is interpreted as events that happened in the second century BC while Revelation is interpreted as events that happened in the first century AD. Preterism holds that Ancient Israel finds its continuation or fulfillment in the Christian church at the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. The term preterism comes from the Latin praeter, which is listed in Webster's 1913 dictionary as a prefix denoting that something is "past" or "beyond," signifying that either all or a majority of Bible prophecy was fulfilled by AD 70.
Interestingly enough Daniel does have certain items that have been fulfilled like the ram and goat, the statue of Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel's interpretation of it. Also the blow by blow in an enigmatic writing style of events tied to people without their names. It almost has a Nostradamus feel to it. But a careful read will yield almost an exact match to events that took place during the reign of Alexander the Great of Macedonia and the fourway split of his domains after his untimely death. In fact the detail is amazing considering how far in advance Daniel actually wrote. He wrote of Suza describing the royal palace area in great detail as it were. He places himself there but this is the prophetic voice. He describes the intrigues of the four kingdoms and how two conquered two and split the whole of the domain in half and fought bitterly over it. This is the Ptolemy and Seleucid wars. He even gives mention to Antiochus Ephiphenes. It is this person whose profile best fits an "Antichrist". He describes the intrigues and political moves of Bernice; whose ploys cost her, her life and the life of her child. But there are passages which don't seem to have anything to do with the history we know. Passages like the setting up of thrones and Ancient of Days, which don't at all fit the context.
In the statue it is commonly known that the feet are the dominions of Rome. Some of its holdings were strong and some weak. We know the Rock cut without hands is Jesus of Nazareth. We know the kingdom was in His message. But there is to many passages that don't fit into any true historical context even to this time. Besides which there are certain things that can end being fulfilled multiple times.
Historicism is a method of interpretation in Christian eschatology which associates biblical prophecies with actual historical events and identify symbolic beings with historical persons or societies. The main texts of interest are apocalyptic literature, such as the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation, and historicist methods have been applied to ancient Jewish history, the Roman Empire, Mohammedism, the Papacy, the Modern era and even into the End time.
Interestingly enough the historicist approach is partly right. One needs to look and see where prophetic biblical passages have their fulfillment. As I mentioned above just in Daniel alone several items of prophecy have found their fulfillment but as I also mentioned above prophecy can be fulfillable multiple times. The temptation and therefore down side to this is that of date setting. Because we have two differing calendars and history tends to cloud by virtue of source exact dates and because God intentionally does not give us the starting gun to spin down the clock we can only surmise from certain eras in time and approximate that in such and such an era the Second Coming might be eminent.
Idealism (also called the spiritual approach, the allegorical approach, the nonliteral approach, and many other names) in Christian eschatology is an interpretation of the Book of Revelation that sees all of the imagery of the book as symbols.
There is some validity to this approach as the symbolic language often refers to the spirit realm, but then if this is so it tends to restrict God's interaction with the world and ages of men.
Both of these views tend to look in a historicist attitude and a literalist's viewpoint. They don't place fulfillment on anything but exact events. With a clear reference to history and a clear understanding of the text being analyzed, it is possible to weed out what has been fulfilled from what has not. Obviously then this writer may hold a futuristic view in part. But when you get to areas of the spiritual where idealistic symbolism comes into play this thinking can be skewed. These lines of thought are marked out by dispensationalism as possibly stemming from the works of a 15th century Jesuit named Fransisco Ribera.
This view sees the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ as not a series of events but the coverage of the same event from differing perspectives.
I don't support this view. Apparently this view seems to match best with the a-millennial view point.
Here is the problem with this book. It is Preterist in nature as events like these have happened in the past. It is futurist in nature because there is a set sequence of patterns and images or events that have to happen in the order or conditions indicated for it to be a prelude to the return of Messiah. It is historist in nature for the same reason it is preterist. History is literally "littered" with examples of various aspects of this book, examples that typify major earthquakes, and in recent history as of this writing the quakes that started with, I believe, Haiti. Look at the devastation of that and consider that this type of quake on a much grander scale is listed as an event in the breaking of the seals. Dispensationalists will tend to compartmentalize the moving of the will of God into eras. God is messy, He doesn't compartmentalize easily. In fact He doesn't compartmentalize at all.
The first thing one must realize about this book is that it a detailed vision taken down by a man who was in the overarching custodial control of the Holy Spirit as John the Apostle wrote. That this book makes it into the cannon of Scripture is in some way surprising but then again the Old Testament is riddled with the Prophet under the overarching custodial control of the Holy Spirit speaking the Oracles of God to men and nations. All of those words of prophecy were futuristic in nature, and in fact if certain ones that could happen in the life span of a prophet didn't happen that person was NOT a prophet speaking for God and not to be feared or listened to. In fact if the prophet managed to be alive at this determination he was lapidated (stoned). This is the last real Prophet's prophetic utterance and it's principle purpose is not to be a display case mystery but a Revelation of Who Jesus Is. It is Jesus who is the one come up from Bozrah as it were with wine stained clothes or rather bloodied raiment. The wine of that cup fills to the span of the bridle of a horse for quite a large area of real estate as the blood of the slain on a certain field in a certain battle called Har Megiddo or Armageddon. It is Jesus whose return to vanquish the armies gathered to destroy the quake ruined city of Jerusalem, where He had chosen o establish His name in the Earth; whose entry with certain hosts of heaven triggers a reaction within every believer who is still on Earth at that fell moment. (Looks like I am a post Tribulationalist) I could of course be dead wrong on all counts and until it is exactly played out, we won't know all the moves and ramifications. But Paul told us not to be ignorant of the times (Epochs) or seasons (Moedim) as to the events that were to come. Old and New Testament are littered with clues, but to understand the chain of events one must look at the various books as Templates. Each one needs to specifically align to the others to validate the series of events in Revelation.
Having said all this I am not going through this book and setting dates. But I do want to discuss certain issues and images that come up in this book. They describe a world of chaos the likes of which no series of events to this day have managed to create. The book as a whole from chapter four to the end is almost the perfect match for the Deuteronomic chapter on the blessing and the curses. In the section on the curses; they appears to be parallel in nature but they are not. They are escalations of the mains types of curses and they are interspersed with the concept of choice to turn from sin or continue therein. The difference being that in the Deuteronomic curses one is given opportunity to repent whereas in Revelation it is known that they would not repent.
Revelation details specific churches and the issues Jesus had with it. The rest of the book details major events that build on one another. By just the end of the seals, there have been releases of horsemen whose devastating effects on culture geography geology zoology the ecosystems of both land and sea and even to the air we breathe or rather the quality of it are felt full force. Such disastrous catastrophes have occurred so as to alter society on a global level. Chaos is in such full flower that anyone with viable solutions will be listened to and even hailed the miracle worker of the day. This and the message the "answer man" has become a major problem for Believers.

Experts: 'Tattletale problem' is changing bullying culture
Therapists, teachers and principals are working to educate students and parents.
Author: Daniel Sechtin

Child therapist Amanda Gilliam with Thriveworks says in the past two years, she remembers a stark increase in the number of children telling her they were afraid to report bullying.
"Bullying is a huge issue across the board," she said. "Little kids will even say 'I'm not a snitch...you can't snitch on people.'"
Gilliam says the issue starts early with a kindergarten culture of tattletale shaming. She says the most important step to fixing the issue comes from educating students and parents early about the difference between tattling and reporting.
"Tattling is trying to get someone else in trouble for something that's not a big deal," she said. "Reporting is going to be protecting yourself or someone else from your physical or emotional safety being at risk."
At Alcoa Elementary, assistant principal Sara Williams says the staff works hard to draw that distinction through a rhyme.
"I mean it's a catchy phrase, I hear it all the time. "Be brave, be bold, a teacher must be told," Williams said.
Teacher Jennifer Kelly believes the solution comes from creating a culture of positivity from a young age.
"There's more to it than just saying no bullying. We have to help build the community in our school so that's not acceptable...that's not a part of what we do," she said.
Gilliam says Alcoa's approach is a good one. However, she added that parents themselves could benefit from learning how to talk to their children about bullying.
"We need to let our kids know that they have a voice, that what they have to say matters and that they get to be in charge of their bodies and their emotions," she said.

Pennsylvania Coal Region
July 22, 2014 July 22, 2014 billkralovec
Oliver with a piece of anthracite coal
I am getting in touch with my family roots here in Pennsylvania. Both sides of my biological family are from Pennsylvania's Coal Region, located in the north east part of the state, in the Appalachian Mountains. The largest cities in this region are Wilkes Barre and Scranton. It is the location of about the only place in the USA where anthracite could be found. Anthracite is the purest form of coal, consisting of 92-98% carbon. From the mid 19th century to the mid 20th century, this was a big industry here, peaking in the 1920s. Today there are a couple of small specialty mines still in operation, but for the most part, the industry is dead, with most of the good coal gone and competition for other countries and other forms of fossil fuels, most notably natural gas making it unprofitable. This triangle of 5 counties helped fuel the industrial revolution in America, propelling steam engines and producing steel in the big foundries in Bethlehem. Waves of immigrants came to work in the mines, most notably Irish, but also my ancestors from Eastern and Central Europe. The Molly Maguires a 1970 movie starring Sean Connery, portrayed the radical Irish group, the Molly Maguires, who fought for mine workers' rights in an age of exploitation. The stories of mining accidents, low pay, and the struggles of these immigrants to make a living are sad and often tragic. Although many of their ancestors benefit today from life in America. My son Ollie (photo above) found this piece of anthracite coal in an old strip mine, just outside the town of Freeland last week.
The industrial revolution was an environmental disaster for the region however. First, as in many places in the USA, including my home region in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the land was clear cut of the majestic white pines and hemlock trees that covered the mountains here. Canals were dug and railroads put in to transport materials to the cities on the east coast and steel plants in the Lehigh Valley. More than 70 years later however, the Appalachians (this part of the chain is called the Pocono Mountains) are making a comeback. We rode the 25 mile bike path from White Haven to Jim Thorpe in the Lehigh Gorge State Park this weekend. I was proud of the kids of making the whole way. The views were stunning! We took an old tourist train through the valley and rode down. There are also lots of whitewater rafting and hiking in the park. I hope to explore more of it while I am here and glad that an area that was once a denuded, polluted, "super highway" is now going back to nature.
The mountains, although not the size of Rockies or Alps, have their own stunning beauty and it does remind me of the Great Lakes Region of Northern Michigan. In mid-summer, the sheer walls of green, the brown rapids of the Lehigh River, and the bright bloom of Mountain Laurels, makes for a pleasant place to relax and recharge.
The view from the bike path of the Lehigh River.
I will be exploring more of the Pennsylvania Coal Region this summer and exploring my family's past here as well.

When There Were No Serbians in Serbia
April 28, 2012 April 28, 2012 billkralovec
Owen and Ollie at the Baths, originally uploaded by bill kralovec.
Earlier this month we visited the ancient ruins of the city of Viminacium. (Viminacijum in Serbian) The city was founded by the Romans around the birth of Jesus. Viminacium on the Danube River, close to the modern Serbian town of Kostolac, about an hour's drive from Belgrade.
Viminacium in its peak had an estimated 40,000+ citizens. Many of the famous Roman Emperors visited or stayed in the city. Several battles in the many civil wars of the Roman Empire occurred there as well. The Romans established the city first as a military garrison while conquering the local Illyrians (Dacians) and later a market town grew up around the barracks.
We arrived late in the day and the site was closing. We still drove around to the excavated sites and got a sense of the place. Most of the city is not excavated, only 3 major sites, which are covered (see above). Researchers have found 35,000 graves, coins, vases, etc. The city was eventually overrun and destroyed by the man himself, Attila the Hun in 441 C.E. The Avars (ancient Turkish tribe) finished the job in 582, paving the way for the Slavs (Serbs) to come in an eventually settle the area.
It was amazing to think about all that went on there, such a long time ago! I hope they develop the project further, there is probably a lot that needs to be excavated and researched. The structures uncovered are not that impressive, no coliseums, statues of Caesar, etc, but I think they could make an excellent museum and educational center with the pieces they found. They had several books for sale in the visitor center with photos and information about the site, but no actual pieces displayed. We also so some chariots which would have been cool for the kids to ride in. I just don't see the funds available to further carry on the work.
Perhaps the coal company operating next to the site can support excavation. There is a massive open pit coal mine there as well as a coal-burning electricity generation plant. It would be nice to tax those polluters and put the proceeds towards Viminacium. We will probably head back to the site and read some more about it.
Nadia in front of the Drmno Coal Mine
On a side note, the town of Stari Kostolac (Old Kostolac), close to the site, is a Roma or Gypsy village. We were driving back from the site through their and Nadia was freaking out when she saw the run-down settlement and only gypsies. I would also like to go back and explore the town a bit more. A friend told us the village used to be Serbian, but was abandoned and the Roma moved in.
It makes a good day trip from Belgrade.

Ever so carefully, Al Franken is allowing himself to be funny again. The former "Saturday Night Live" star, now a second-term senator from Minnesota, spent a decade turning himself into a stolid, serious politician.
"When I first came to the Senate, I had to be very careful not to be funny," Franken recounted in an interview last week. He worried that if he told too many jokes, he'd get a reputation as the Senate's class clown, not a real-life legislator. And he succeeded. In 2008, the first time Franken ran for the Senate, he won by 312 votes out of almost 3 million. The second time, in 2014, Minnesotans sent him back to Washington by a 200,000-vote margin.
His easy reelection, plus the arrival of Donald Trump, has liberated the long-repressed satirist to resume "heaping scorn and ridicule" (his words) on the party in power.
At the Democratic convention last year, Franken said he was uniquely qualified to criticize: "I got my doctorate in megalomania studies from Trump University."
On Monday, he said the furor over Trump's contacts with Russia boils down to a new version of the Watergate question: "What did the president know — and when did his son-in-law tell him?"
And, breaking with Senate tradition, he's throwing shade at some of his GOP associates. "I like Ted Cruz more than most of my colleagues like Ted Cruz," he writes in his newly published Senate memoir. "And I hate Ted Cruz."
He might be good enough and smart enough, and Democrats like him, but he doesn't have the requisite fire in the belly.
Franken can play the straight man too. At the confirmation hearing for Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Franken asked if the former Texas governor had enjoyed their meeting.
Perry's reply: "I hope you're as much fun up on that dais as you were on your couch."
Perry: "May I rephrase that?"
Franken: "Please. Oh my lord."
But except between the covers of his carefully edited book, Franken is still stepping gingerly.
"[Comedy is] a tool I can use …. the peaceful use of humor," he mused. "But you've got to use it right."
What he enjoys most about being a senator isn't telling jokes, anyway; it's the far safer practice of interrogating officials from an administration he abhors.
"There's nothing I like better than reading my briefing book [before a hearing] and realizing: Holy mackerel, this is going to be fun," he told me.
He prepares, long and hard. That's how he skewered Education Secretary Betsy DeVos with a question that exposed her shaky grasp of education policy. And how he opened a door for Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions to claim that he had no contacts with Russian officials; when that was shown to be false, Sessions was forced to recuse himself from the Russia investigation.
Those gladiator moments got some Democrats' hearts racing: Could Franken be an answer to their search for a 2020 presidential candidate? Franken thought about it for a few days. He talked it over with his wife. And he decided: No. He might be good enough and smart enough, and Democrats like him, but he doesn't have the requisite fire in the belly.
"I just think the president of the United States should want to be president of the United States," he explained. "It's an enormous responsibility and I don't think I could bear doing it badly."
Franken's biggest ambition, it turns out, is simply to be recognized as a good senator — even though he couldn't resist making fun of himself in the title of his book, "Al Franken: Giant of the Senate."
So he still travels tirelessly around Minnesota, including farm counties that he says are full of "Trump/Franken voters." His Senate website is still all about Minnesota issues, from dairy price supports to his upcoming visit to the Vikings' training camp.
Though he feels freer now to talk to national media on non-Minnesota issues, a luxury he denied himself during his first term, he doesn't have a simple, easy answer to cure the Democratic Party's ills. He's found no simple messaging fix.
The lesson of Hillary Clinton's defeat, he told me, is that Democrats need to work harder, listen to every voter (including Trump voters) and explain themselves more clearly.
"We need to talk to people at the economic level and help people understand … that there is a difference between Democrats and Republicans," he said. "You're seeing it reflected in this [Trump] budget, seeing it reflected in the healthcare policy that passed out of the House."
He'd like to see more entertainers get into politics — people like Tom Hanks, David Letterman and Jon Stewart. "I'd like 50 comedians in the Senate," he said. "It would be a lot more fun."
But he has a warning for his old colleagues: Politics is hard.
The question he's asked most frequently, he says, is whether being in the Senate is as much fun as "Saturday Night Live." The answer: "No. Why would it be?"
He only wishes newspapers would stop using "no joke" in every headline about his political career. His obituary, he worries, will be headed: "No joke: former three-term senator dead at 93."

The scenario discussed here describes the flexibility behind accessing multidimensional and relational data sources in one report. The benefit of this type of functionality is to enable the user to see aggregated information coming from a cube while allowing drill-down on the relational data to provide greater detail. By using parameters in this report, you let the user decide which information elements to display.
Start by creating a simple sales report against the sample Xtreme data source. For the data, select the First Name, Last Name, and Last Year's Sales fields from the Customer table. Group the report by region, city, and then customer. Hide the Details section and the City and Customer groups and enable drill-down on these sections. The report at design time should look like Figure 16.19. Before moving on, add Summary fields for Last Year's Sales into each of the Group Header fields (Country, Region, and City). You can quickly accomplish this by using the new (in version 2008) Add to All Group Levels check box in the Insert Summary dialog.
Figure 16.19 Framework for drill-down integrating both relational and OLAP data.
Now add to this report an OLAP grid against the sample cube used earlier in this chapter—Sales and Employees from Foodmart. Using the steps described earlier in this chapter, point the grid at the sample Sales and Employee OLAP cube selecting only the Measures, Time, and Stores dimensions. Select the Stores dimension for the rows and the Time dimension for the columns. Change the Stores rows to include only USA, Canada, and Mexico to limit the number of rows displaying in the report. Also change the Time dimension members selected to Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 of 1998.
Drop the OLAP grid in the Report Header area. Now insert a bar chart based on the relational source that displays Last Year's Sales on change of values in the City field and place the chart in the Group Header for Country to enable the user to visually understand the contribution of sales from each of the selected cities. In design view, the report should look similar to Figure 16.20. Perform the same filtering task in the report Select Expert so that the relational data source is limited to the same three countries (USA, Canada, and Mexico).
Figure 16.20 A report using both OLAP and relational data sources. The pie chart based on the relational data enables drill-down into the relational data details.
If the user viewed this report, he would currently see both the chart and the OLAP grid at the top of the report summarizing the same information but sourced from two different data sources: a pre-aggregated SQL Server data cube and a relational database. (This example assumes that similar data is the basis for both data sources.) To enable end users to turn off the grid display, create a parameter field that specifies whether to display the grid. This enables users to decide whether they want to look at the summary information in both a grid and chart format or only in a chart.
Create a parameter of Boolean type called Display Grid.
and close the editor. Now when a user runs the report, he is prompted to select whether he wants to see the summary OLAP grid. Save the report. On display, it should look similar to Figure 16.21.
Figure 16.21 Report showing both the OLAP grid and charts and enabling drill-down from the high-level summary information displayed from the OLAP grid into the relational details.
This example illustrates how to combine relational and multidimensional data in one report to allow for different views based on the same underlying data. This allows drill-down on relational elements and provides aggregate header information for views on summary OLAP data.

Voyager 2 sends back first messages from interstellar space
Thanks to the intrepid spacecraft Voyager 2, we're learning more about interstellar space and what it is like at the edge of our solar system.
Voyager 2 sends back first messages from interstellar space Thanks to the intrepid spacecraft Voyager 2, we're learning more about interstellar space and what it is like at the edge of our solar system. Check out this story on floridatoday.com: https://www.floridatoday.com/story/tech/science/space/2019/11/05/voyager-2-sends-back-first-messages-interstellar-space/4164332002/
Doyle Rice, USA TODAY Published 10:39 a.m. ET Nov. 5, 2019
Voyager 2 is only the second spacecraft to travel this far out into the solar system.
At a distance of about 11 billion miles from Earth, Voyager 2 is well beyond the orbit of Pluto.
The new studies say that Voyager 2 has left the heliosphere.
Thanks to intrepid spacecraft Voyager 2, we're learning more about interstellar space.
One year ago, on Nov. 5, 2018, NASA's Voyager 2 became only the second spacecraft in history to reach interstellar space, the region between the stars.
Monday, several new research papers in the journal Nature Astronomy described what scientists observed during and since Voyager 2's historic crossing.
The findings help paint a picture of the "cosmic shoreline" where the environment created by our sun ends and the vast ocean of interstellar space begins.
"The Voyager probes are showing us how our sun interacts with the stuff that fills most of the space between stars in the Milky Way galaxy," said Ed Stone, project scientist for Voyager and a professor of physics at Caltech.
The new studies say that Voyager 2 has left the heliosphere – the protective bubble of particles and magnetic fields created by our sun. At a distance of about 11 billion miles from Earth, Voyager 2 is well beyond the orbit of Pluto.
48. Voyager heads into interstellar space     • Date: April 25, 2012 Voyager 1, launched on Sept. 5, 1977, when Jimmy Carter was president, became the first spacecraft to reach interstellar space. ALSO READ: Reasons Why Scientists Think There Is Life on Other Planets (Photo: NASA / JPL-Caltech)
The heliosphere can be thought of as a cosmic weather front: a distinct boundary where charged particles rushing outward from the sun at supersonic speed meet a cooler, interstellar wind blowing in from supernovae that exploded millions of years ago, according to the Guardian.
"In a historical sense, the old idea that the solar wind will just be gradually whittled away as you go further into interstellar space is simply not true," said the University of Iowa's Don Gurnett, corresponding author on one of the studies. "We show with Voyager 2 – and previously with Voyager 1 – that there's a distinct boundary out there."
Voyager 2 is only the second spacecraft to travel this far out into the solar system. The craft was launched slightly ahead of its twin Voyager 1 in 1977 and has been traveling through space for the past 42 years.
29. Probes observe all planets     • Date: Aug. 20, 1977-present In the late 1960s, NASA scientists discovered that every 175 years, the Earth and the large planets in the solar system line up on one side of the Sun. This configuration would allow for a close observation of all the planets in the outer solar system in a single flight. With that in mind, NASA launched two spacecraft: Voyager 2 on Aug. 20, 1977, and Voyager 1, on a faster, shorter trajectory, on Sept. 5, 1977. The launch window to observe the alignment was between 1976 and 1980. (Photo: NASA / Getty Images)
"We certainly didn't know that a spacecraft could live long enough to leave the bubble and enter interstellar space," said Stone at a media teleconference that announced the findings.
"We had no good quantitative idea of how big this bubble is that the sun creates around it," he said.
Even though they are out of the sun's bubble, the Voyagers are still technically in our solar system, NASA said. Scientists maintain that the solar system stretches to the outer edge of the so-called Oort Cloud. It will take about 30,000 years for the spacecraft to get that far.
Hubble's 2019 - so far
Jan. 7, 2019: NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has produced this stunningly detailed portrait of the Triangulum galaxy (M33), displaying a full spiral face aglow with the light of nearly 25 million individually resolved stars. It is the largest high-resolution mosaic image of Triangulum ever assembled, composed of 54 Hubble fields of view spanning an area more than 19,000 light-years across. Space Telescope Science Institute Office of Public Outreach, NASA, ESA, and M. Durbin, J. Dalcanton, and B.F. Williams (University of Washington)
Jan. 28, 2019: This image is a mosaic of sky photographs taken by the Pan-STARRS Observatory, a 1.8-meter telescope located at the summit of Haleakalā, on Maui. The center of the circle is the north celestial pole, and the outer edge is a sky declination of -30 degrees, which is where the Pan-STARRS survey stopped (because it reached the southern horizon as seen in Hawai'i). The bright band extending from top to bottom is our Milky Way galaxy. The center of the galaxy is near the bottom edge of the image where the galaxy is brightest. NASA
Jan. 9, 2019: Less than a billion years after the big bang, a monster black hole began devouring anything within its gravitational grasp. This triggered a firestorm of star formation around the black hole. A galaxy was being born. A blowtorch of energy, equivalent to the light from 600 trillion Suns, blazed across the universe. Now, 12.8 billion years later, the Hubble Space Telescope captured the beacon from this event. But Hubble astronomers needed help to spot it. The gravitational warping of space by a comparatively nearby intervening galaxy greatly amplified and distorted the quasar's light, making it the brightest such object seen in the early universe. It offers a rare opportunity to study a zoomed-in image of how supermassive black holes accompanied star formation in the very early universe and influenced the assembly of galaxies. Space Telescope Science Institute Office of Public Outreach, NASA, ESA, and X. Fan (University of Arizona)
Jan. 24, 2019: Two's company and three's a crowd. But thousands are a mosh pit. That's the case in the giant Coma cluster of more than 1,000 galaxies. Hubble spotted a wayward spiral galaxy losing its gas as it plunges toward the center of the massive cluster and is roughed up as it plows through the intergalactic medium. Telltale evidence lies in a long, thin streamer of material that is stretching like taffy from the galaxy's core and on into intergalactic space. Gas is the lifeblood of a galaxy, fueling the birth of new stars. Once it is stripped of all of its gas, the galaxy, named D100, will enter retirement and shine only by the feeble glow of its aging, red stars. Space Telescope Science Institute Office of Public Outreach, NASA, ESA, and W. Cramer and J. Kenney (Yale University)
Jan. 24, 2019: D100 is being stripped of its gas because of the gravitational tug of a grouping of giant "bully" galaxies in the crowded cluster. Their combined gravity is pulling the beleaguered galaxy toward the cluster's center. As D100 falls toward the core, the galaxy barrels through material. This action forces gas from the galaxy. The gas-stripping process in D100 began roughly 300 million years ago. In the massive Coma cluster this violent gas-loss process occurs in many galaxies. But D100 is unique in several ways. Its long, thin tail is its most unusual feature extending nearly 200,000 light-years. But the pencil-like structure is comparatively narrow, only 7,000 light-years wide. Thankfully, our Milky Way galaxy lives in a sparsely populated small corner of the universe, with only one other big galaxy as a companion.

Feb. 7, 2019: Uranus. The two major planets beyond Saturn have only been visited once by a spacecraft, albeit briefly. NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft swung by Uranus in 1986, and Neptune in 1989. Our robotic deep-space tourist snapped the only close-up, detailed images of these monstrous worlds. For Neptune, the images revealed a planet with a dynamic atmosphere with two mysterious dark vortices. Uranus, however, appeared featureless. But these views were only brief snapshots. They couldn't capture how the planets' atmospheres change over time, any more than a single snapshot of Earth could tell meteorologists about weather behavior. And, they go through protracted seasonal changes in their multi-decades-long orbits. Ever since the Voyager encounter, the Hubble Space Telescope has provided an opportunity to monitor these worlds like a diligent weatherman.

New photos of Mars and Saturn from Hubble
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope was used to observe the planet on June 6, 2018, when Saturn was approximately 1.4 billion kilometers from Earth. Visible in this Hubble image are the classic rings as recorded by the very first astronomers to observe the planet with telescopes. From the outside in are the A ring with the Encke Gap, the Cassini Division, the B ring, and the C ring with the Maxwell Gap. Data from NASA's Cassini mission suggest that the rings formed about 200 million years ago, roughly around the time of the dinosaurs during the Jurassic period. The gravitational disintegration of one of Saturn's small moons created myriad icy debris particles and collisions lasting until today; it is likely that they continually replenish the rings. The planet's banded structure, clearly visible in the new image, is caused by the winds and the clouds at different altitudes. NASA, ESA, STScI, M. Mutchler (STScI), A. Simon (GSFC) and the OPAL Team, J. DePasquale (STScI)
In mid-July the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope observed Mars, only 13 days before the planet made its closest approach to Earth in 2018. While previous images showed detailed surface features of the planet, this new image is dominated by a gigantic sandstorm enshrouding the entire planet. Each Martian year, moderately large dust storms cover continent-sized areas and last for weeks at a time. Global dust storms — lasting for weeks or months — tend to happen during the spring and summer in the southern hemisphere, when Mars is closest to the Sun and heating is at a maximum, leading to greater generation of winds. While spacecraft orbiting Mars can study the storm's behavior at lower altitudes, Hubble observations allow astronomers to study changes in the higher atmosphere. The combined observations will help planetary scientists to build a better understanding of how these global storms arise. NASA, ESA, STScI, M. Mutchler (STScI), A. Simon (GSFC) and the OPAL Team, J. DePasquale (STScI)
This composite image, taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope on 6 June 2018, shows the ringed planet Saturn with six of its 62 known moons. From left to right, the moons visible in this image are Dione, Enceladus, Tethys, Janus, Epimetheus, and Mimas. The moons seen here are all icy and cratered. Enceladus is considered a candidate for the existence of primitive life because it is outgassing water vapor from a subsurface ocean. Based on data from the Cassini mission to Saturn, scientists hypothesize that a small, wayward moon like one of these disintegrated 200 million years ago to form Saturn's ring system.

This composite image, taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope on 6 June 2018, shows the ringed planet Saturn with six of its 62 known moons. With a diameter of 1123 kilometers, Dione is the fourth-largest of Saturn's moons and the largest of the siblings in this family portrait. The smallest satellite in this picture is the irregularly shaped Epimetheus, with a size of 143 x 108 x 98 kilometers.

This annotated image of Mars shows features of the planet that were visible in summer 2018 despite a global dust storm. During the time of observation it was spring in Mars' southern hemisphere, where a dust storm erupted and ballooned into a global event that is blanketing the entire planet. Even so, several distinctive features can be identified. The large oval area at the lower right is the bright Hellas Basin. About 2200 kilometers across and nearly eight kilometers deep, it was formed about four billion years ago by an asteroid impact. Many global dust storms originate in this region. The orange area in the upper centre of the image is Arabia Terra, a vast upland region in northern Mars. The landscape is densely cratered and heavily eroded, indicating that it could be among the oldest terrains on the planet. South of Arabia Terra, running east to west along the equator, are the long dark features known as Sinus Sabaeus and Sinus Meridiani. These regions are covered by dark bedrock and fine-grained sand deposits ground down from ancient lava flows and other volcanic features. These sand grains are coarser and less reflective than the fine dust that gives the brighter regions of Mars their rusty appearance. Because it is autumn in the northern hemisphere, a bright blanket of clouds covers the north polar region. Clouds also can be seen over the southern polar cap. The two small moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, appear in the lower half of the image. NASA, ESA, STScI, M. Mutchler (STScI), A. Simon (GSFC) and the OPAL Team, J. DePasquale (STScI)
This image composite compares the observations of Mars made during the oppositions in 2016 and 2018. The image taken in 2016 showed Mars during a cloudy day. However, the ancient and inactive shield volcano Syrtis Major, the bright and oval Hellas Planitia basin, the heavily eroded Arabia Terra, and the dark features of Sinus Sabaeous and Sinus Meridiani along the equator were all clearly visible. The new image taken in 2018 captured the planet while it was enshrouded by a gigantic sandstorm. Still visible are the white polar caps, Terra Meridiani, the Schiaparelli Crater, and Hellas Basin — but all of these features are slightly blurred by the dust in the atmosphere. NASA, ESA, STScI, M. Mutchler (STScI), A. Simon (GSFC) and the OPAL Team, J. DePasquale (STScI)

Q: SQL SELECT Query Suppose I have a SQL table "Company" with three columns: "department_id", "employee", "job". Something like this:
DEPARTAMENT_ID | EMPLOYEE | JOB
--------------------------------------
1              | Mark     | President
1              | Robert   | Marketing Manager
1              | Rose     | Administration Assitant
2              | Anna     | Programmer
2              | Michael  | Programmer
2              | Celia    | Sales Manager
3              | Jhon     | Sales Manager
3              | Donna    | Programmer
3              | David    | Marketing Manager

I would like to write a query that returns the departments id where at least 50% of their jobs are the same.
Result i need in my example would be just:
DEPARTAMENT_ID |
--------------------------------------
2              |

How do I write this SQL query? I think i tried all kind of stuff but i dont get it :(.

A: This is a bit tricky.  You need to compare the total number of people on a job in a department to the total number.  So, one method uses two aggregations:
select department_id
from (select department_id, count(*) as numemp
      from t
      group by department_id
     ) d join
     (select department_id, max(numemp) as numemp
      from (select department_id, job, count(*) as numemp
            from t
            group by department_id, job
           ) d
     group by department_id
    ) dj
    on d.numemp <= 2 * dj.numemp;

You might get duplicates if you have one department that is exactly split between two jobs.  In that case, use select distinct.

Sen. McCain Returns, Calls for Bipartisan Cooperation on Health Care
With a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Pence, Republican Senators move forward on health care debate.
FOX's Jared Halpern has more from Capitol Hill:
One of the deciding votes to begin debate on a health care overhaul came from Arizona Republican John McCain, who unexpectedly announced he'd return to the Senate a week after being diagnosed with brain cancer. Still, he offered a strong warning to Republican leaders:
(McCain) "I will not vote for this bill as it is today. It's a shell of a bill, right now, we all know that."
The 51-50 vote sets up 20 hours of debate on amendments and competing repeal and replace proposals, possibly setting up a final vote later this week.

Munich International Airport
Flughafen München (MUC)
ABOVE: The MUC control tower, viewed from München Airport Center.
If you're flying to Germany, there's a good chance that you're headed for Bavaria. And if that's the case, it makes sense to fly directly to Europe's eighth-largest airport: Munich International Airport, which lies in the heart of Germany's most popular tourist region.
Nearly 25 million people travel through Munich's airport every year, flying on some 90 major airlines and low-cost carriers that offer connections to 207 destinations in 60 countries.
Two parallel runways and a minimum connection time of only 35 minutes let passengers get in and out of the airport in a hurry--whether they're in transit, visiting Munich, or headed for the nearby Alps.
Munich International Airport also trumps its rivals in another area: services for passengers who have early departures or time to kill between flights. With a hotel, a shopping center, and a visitor park on the airport grounds, MUC provides more indoor and outdoor diversions than most airports do.
Location and layout
ABOVE: A nighttime view of Munich International Airport. Terminal 1 is in the background, in front of the control tower.
Munich's airport is 28 km (17.5 miles) northeast of the city, or 35-40 minutes from central Munich by train.
Terminal 1, which was built in 1992, is a long building that is divided into five contiguous "modules." Each module is a self-contained area with check-in counters, baggage claim, customs and immigration, and duty-free shops.
Hallways and moving sidewalks connect the modules to a central area with shops, restaurants, and ground transportation. Passengers can connect between airlines without having to take a shuttle bus or train.
Terminal 2 houses Star Alliance airlines (including Lufthansa and United), and it's just a short walk from Terminal 1.
Parking garages are adjacent to the terminal, and tunnels connect to the München Airport Center shopping mall and the Hilton Munich Airport hotel.
Reaching the city
Munich International Airport has many transportation options, ranging from public transit to private taxis.
For details, see our Munich International Airport Ground Transportation page.
ABOVE: The Visitors Park at Munich International Airport is a short S-Bahn ride from the terminals. The hill in the background offers a view of the airport, and an 18-hole minigolf course is open from March to October.
Terminal 1 at Munich International Airport has the usual duty-free shops and snack bars, plus Global Refund desks for tax-free shopping rebates in modules A and B of the check-in area.
But the majority of shopping and eating opportunities are in München Airport Center, a mall that starts just beyond the main terminal. There, you'll find a supermarket, gourmet shops, bookstores, clothing boutiques, and other specialty retailers. München Airport Center also has eating places that range from the Airbräu microbrewery restaurant to a Burger King. You can even take a shower in the rest rooms. (Soap is available, but bring your own towel.)
The Service Center in München Airport Center is open 24 hours a day and is the place to go for baggage deposit, lost and found, and other travel-related services. A reasonably priced Internet Point is next door, or you can check your e-mail and surf the Web at the freestanding Internet terminals that are scattered (with pay phones) around the airport.
For last-minute deals on air tickets and tour packages, visit the many travel agencies and consolidators in München Airport Center's Reisemarkt.
Terminal 2 offers more shops and eating places near the gates in the secure transit area.

A film crew was on location deep in the desert. One day an old Native American went up to the director and said, "tomorrow rain."
The next day it rained. A week later, the Native went up to the director and said, "tomorrow storm." The next day there was a hailstorm. "This guy is incredible," said the director. He told his secretary to hire the man to predict the weather. However, after several successful predictions, the old man didn't show up for two weeks.
Finally the director sent for him. "I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow," said the director, "and I'm depending on you. What will the weather be like?"
The Native shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know," he said. "Radio broken."

Alternation of sounds and colors. A game of jazz harmony interwoven with world.
Jacques Pirotton's compositions aspire to detach themselves from structures and jazz clichés while proposing a larger diversity of styles and sonorities.

Ever wonder what's in your tap water? Understanding the chemistry of your tap water is important when researching what type of water you want to drink. Here's the scoop on local Dallas water.
Tap water is generally safe to drink, depending on where you live. However, despite being just okay for your health, tap water often contains traces of chemicals such as chlorine, lead and fluoride.
While consuming fluoride is good for your teeth, the other chemicals that pour from your spigot may be doing more harm than good. The FDA monitors tap water to ensure there are not dangerous levels of chemicals in the water; however, consuming any unnecessary chemicals is never good for you.
Additionally, the traces of chemicals found in the water can often give tap water a bad or unpleasant taste. In this case, many people prefer drinking bottled or self-filtered water for better tasting water guaranteed to be free of chemicals. However, this can get expensive very quickly. It also adds excess waste to the environment.
If you would prefer to self-filter your water at home, a Brita water filter can be a good investment, but refilling these small filters every time or every few times you're thirsty can be a hassle. For many, the easiest way to be sure what you're consuming is healthy for you and eco-friendly is investing in a home water filtration system.
Systems that provide water filtration for your home come in all shapes, sizes, and prices. Filtration systems can be attached directly to the spouts around your home or can be purchased as a system which filters all the water in your house before it hits the faucet.
Investing in water filtration for your home is a proactive way to take control of your health. Our bodies are made mostly of water, so make sure the water you're drinking is good for you!
If you are searching for a Dallas plumber to provide you with professional plumbing installation or maintenance, call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Dallas at 972-301-8387 today. We're happy to help you make the switch to healthier, better tasting water!
