BlogTuesday's Biggest Loser: The New, New Mitt Romney
Tuesday's Biggest Loser: The New, New Mitt Romney
Michael Keegan | November 10, 2011
The new, new Mitt Romney has been doing everything he can to fit in. But on Tuesday, he faced a big setback: he found out that he had been trying too hard to fit in with the wrong crowd.
Mitt was having a hard time figuring out which side to pick in two statewide referendums that pit the most extreme interests of the Republican party against the common sense interests of American voters. In Ohio, he endorsed a bill that took a sledgehammer to workers' rights, then couldn't decide if he would oppose its repeal, then finally decided he was for the anti-worker bill all along. On Tuesday, Ohio voters killed the bill by a whopping 61-39 percent margin.
The former governor performed an almost unbelievable flip-flop on a proposed referendum in Mississippi, which would have defined "personhood" as beginning at the moment of fertilization – thereby banning not only all abortions regardless of circumstances, but also hormonal birth control, in vitro fertilization and the treatment of ectopic pregnancies. Asked about such "personhood" bills by Mike Huckabee, Romney said he "absolutely" supported them. Asked by a participant at a town hall meeting whether he really supported banning hormonal birth control, Romney hedged the question. Finally, the day after Mississippi resoundingly rejected the restrictive amendment, surprise! Romney's campaign came out to clarify that he was on the side of the majority after all, that he had never supported personhood, and thought these decisions should be left up to the states anyway.
Got that? Pick the one of those three positions that work best for you.
The GOP's radical shift to the right in recent years has caused Mitt Romney to do whatever it takes to get with the right Right crowd. In his endless quest for electability, Romney has followed Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, and the rest of the Radical GOP off a cliff – and appears not to have noticed that the rest of America has stayed behind.
What Romney might not have counted on is that American voters, unlike him, know when a line has been crossed. While the GOP establishment steadfastly supported Ohio's anti-worker law, voters rejected the policy across party lines. Protecting the fundamental right to collective bargaining wasn't a partisan issue – it was an issue of core values.
Similarly, Mississippi voters rejected the "personhood" amendment by a decisive 16-point margin. Banning birth control and life-saving procedures for pregnant women was a line that Romney easily crossed, but it is one which voters in one of the most conservative states in the nation would not.
Romney must have felt a similar unpleasant jolt when voters in Arizona unseated state senate president Russell Pearce, the author of the state's devastating anti-immigrant reforms. Whoops– Mitt Romney had already moved his position on immigration to the right of Rick Perry.
We can only expect that Romney will keep radically reversing all of his earlier positions on every important issue. That is until it is time to start changing them back again for the general election. Is anyone, no matter what their politics, going to buy that?

Sorry, Siri: The Future of Copywriting Is Human
Briana Pagano
Estimated reading time: 8 minute(s)
Welcome to the New Age of Artificial Intelligence. Already, AI is driving cars, playing wingman, and making small talk (Alexa, please stop reading this).
According to PwC, up to 38% of U.S. jobs could be at high risk of automation by the early 2030s. Yet, HubSpot recently ranked writers as one of the top 10 jobs AI can't replace.
Sorry, Siri—but no bot will be stealing my title anytime soon.
Wall-E was the exception
Ernest Hemingway said it best: "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."
To write, you must first know what it is to feel. How can a bot target dreams, doubts, and desires when it's never experienced those emotions—or any emotion, for that matter? There's so much that AI doesn't know: the feeling of falling in love, watching the sunrise, scaling a mountain, landing a dream job, hearing a baby's heartbeat, fighting for something that's worth it, or saying goodbye.
The best copywriters aren't just professional play-on-wordsmiths. They're psychologists, empathizers, and life-long learners. But most importantly, they're human.
Humans create, bots imitate
No bot can replicate the explosive creativity of the human brain. We are the creators; they are the machines. Unlike us, AI can only iterate on what already exists. Take this AI-generated TED Talk script, for example:
Is it entertaining? Absolutely. But it's also nonsensical. After listening to 1,000 hours' worth of TED Talks, this bot picked up on patterns—and completely missed the point.
An effective TED Talk is more than just words on a page. It has a structured, coherent storyline. It delivers a meaningful message. It resonates with audiences on a logical and emotional level. To write a powerful script, you need passion and purpose.
You need to be human.
Ditch the formula (and grab some milk)
By definition, algorithms learn from historical data. As copywriters, we also use the past to inform the present—but we don't stop there. Instead, data-driven insights inspire original creation as we introduce something the world has never seen before.
Let's look at one of the most successful marketing stunts of the past decade: Oreo's "Dunk in the Dark" tweet from Super Bowl XLVII.
Historical data couldn't have trained an algorithm to write this, because the ad was completely irrational—until the split second the Superdome plunged into darkness. No one expected there to be a power outage on game day. But there was—and before the lights were back on, human minds had come together in an act of spontaneous creation. The resulting ad was the product of a particular moment in time—a case study in on-the-fly originality.
Copywriting is far from formulaic. Each assignment poses unique challenges, demanding a completely new approach. When it comes to true creative thinking, there's no contest between man and machine. Until robots are sentient, we copywriters have nothing to fear—and when that day comes, this issue will be the least of our concerns.

The Sixers have quietly started playing some solid basketball. They've won 5 of 7 SU, and they've covered 8 games in a row. Of course, that means oddsmakers are starting to consider actually catching up, and that's what has left us with this line. Interestingly, about 2 weeks ago these teams squared off in Philadelphia, and the Sixers were 1-point home favorites playing the second half of a back-to-back. So, by that account, oddsmakers were saying Philly and Jersey were equals. Now, in only 2 weeks, Philadelphia is 4 points better? That's some line inflation right there. Fact is, we don't know how the Sixers are going to play on the road. Most of their recent success has come in their own building, including winning 6 of 7 games, with the only loss coming to Boston. I'm not sure Philadelphia's success will translate out on the road. Jersey got Devin Harris back, a key cog in their slowly-improving machine, and I happen to believe his return will allow them to slog out a narrow win in a hard-fought game. Lean to JERSEY and the OVER.
If we're going to base this play entirely on recent play, which would seem to be the best course of action given the distinct lack of motivational, situational and scheduling angles between these two, then you have to give the nod to the Raptors. To Charlotte's credit, though, they have been playing a bit better at home, despite the hideous loss to Boston. Avenging an embarrassment at home is about the only angle at play, here. Toronto is coming off a crazy comeback win over the pathetic Pistons, and neither team is really tearing the roof off, though Toronto is making the best of a Jerryd Bayless experiment while Calderon is out. I'm having trouble convincing myself that either side makes a ton of sense, but given Charlotte scored just 63 points in its last game, I have to give the slight nod to the Bobcats to come out looking to take out some aggression on a much softer opponent. And, if we're looking for precedent, Charlotte played Boston 3 times last year, and got blown out in each. In 2 of the 3 games following, Charlotte covered, and the Bobcats did win the home game immediately thereafter in all three cases. The only factor holding us back is that Charlotte did beat Toronto in Canada back on November 10. Maybe more interesting is that this total is 9 points higher than the previous meeting, despite the last total only getting to 197. What? Very tough call, tiny lean to TORONTO, and lean to OVER.
Why write a full paragraph when a single sentence should suffice? Lakers still haven't turned it on, so why bother backing them? The Lakers have covered just 1 of their last 10 games, and until they start to show some sort of continuity on offense, I cannot, in good conscience, advise putting money on the Lakeshow. Besides, when healthy, the Wizards are actually a tough competitor at home. They've been dealing with a rash of nagging injuries, namely to the team's top guys, John Wall and Andray Blatche, but if healthy, this Wizards team can be a real nuisance. Washington has been playing a bunch of road games lately, so most people have forgotten their home/road splits, but just for a quick refresher course, the Wizards are 6-4 SU at home, and a perfectly terrible 0-12 on the road. If they're catching a ton of points here, and John Wall is healthy enough to beat Derek Fisher, lean to WASHINGTON (check injuries) and the UNDER.
Those Pistons, man. A complete and utter disaster on back-to-backs due to a lack of depth or any sort of interior presence, and generally a team that melts down late in the game since they go away from their offense and just start running ultra-slow isolation plays for guys that generally end up settling for a 20-footer. A total mess. But then, Detroit hasn't been that unbearable when rested at home. That being said, most of those home performances which can maybe result in wins tend to come against weaker opponents, and the Hawks are better than average. The Pistons also played the Hawks once this year, and, as they seem to do every game, combusted in the 4th quarter to lose a game by 9 that was actually pretty close. So, who the heck knows what to expect from Detroit. If you're going to play this game, I would strongly urge you to consider playing halves. Detroit tends to hang in there for 2-3 quarters, and the Hawks should be able to overpower Detroit late. In terms of the total this number is a full 8 points lower than the previous meeting, but given that we don't really know what either team wants to do on the tempo side of things, it's a tough play to make. Itsy bitsy lean to the OVER, and itsy bitsy lean to ATLANTA, if you absolutely must play a side.
This line is crazy, to me, but maybe it's crazy for a reason. Is Houston, a 9-14 team, really 7 points better than anyone? Possibly. Houston has been playing better lately, going 6-4 SU in their last 10 ballgames after starting the year horrifically slowly. And it hasn't been a super-easy stretch, either, with Houston garnering key wins over the Lakers, the Thunder and the Grizzlies in that span. The Kings are easily the League's worst team, and I fear that they may be so bad, they're unbackable. I'd love to reach and grab 10 points because it looks so darn succulent, and if you made the case to me that this was a "value play" with the Kings, I probably couldn't argue with you, but Sacramento is in danger of losing every game by 30, and that, to me, makes them like the Nets of last year. You can try to predict all 20 covers, or however many it ends up being, but why fight against numbers? PASS on the side, and UNDER lean on the total.
As I mention in Tuesday's podcast (recorded early), this game has two very strong competing angles. The one favoring Orlando is that Carmelo Anthony just played a game in New York, where you have to wonder if he left his heart. We all know he wants to go there, so how much does he want to come home and play the Magic, and take it to the rack with Dwight Howard at the bucket? The other angle is the Magic finishing up a rather long west coast swing. They've been on the road for 7 of the last 8 games, so it must feel like forever since they played at home, and this is definitely a fatigue spot. If Denver pushes the pace and gets a few easy buckets, it could be one of those games where the Magic have a shot late, but Denver is in the driver's seat for most of the game. I'd love to hear what you guys think is going through Melo's mind in this one, since I'm a little suspect. Still, this line feels about right, given each team's power, so with that in mind, I suppose I'd have to go with the situational angles above all else. Lean to DENVER and the UNDER.
Golden State seems wildly unpredictable lately. They'll get blown out by San Antonio repeatedly, then compete with Dallas, then lose at home to a rather mediocre Suns team. Now, they're competing with Utah on the road. Who are these guys? It seems like the Warriors have the most trouble with teams that actually play solid defense. Against clubs like the Thunder, the Wolves, and other teams struggling on the defensive side, it seems like the Warriors can actually hang in there. So here, the Wolves and Warriors, I feel, should have themselves a good old-fashioned shoot-out. If David Lee ever gets healthy, and if Stephen Curry can shake the sophomore blues, the Warriors should be able to beat up on teams like Minnesota, but as long as they remain hurt, this is a coin-flip, and there's no question in my mind on that. Of course, the only remaining note is that the Warriors are playing the second half of a back-to-back, which might hurt them against a team that plays defense, but as long as this one remains a streetball competition, fatigue shouldn't be a huge factor. Tiny lean to GOLDEN STATE, and the OVER.

As I entered this adventure of read-a-louds with my children I first had to figure out what it was and what it meant.. I read everywhere that is was crucial to my kids education (early education) but I didn't know how I was gonna fit 'MORE' into our already packed day! Right now I have 3 children of my own and I keep 2 girls 4 days a week.. Ages 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.. SOO my days are really busy.. HOW was I going to add reading aloud to them?
I goggled how mothers of large families did it and some suggested reading while the kids played … seems weird to me.. others suggested reading aloud while children were having lunch or at a meal time… I really wanted to institute this but didn't know how or when..
*all our kids loved this boys, girls, big and little! I think this would be great for a starter book if you want to introduce chapters without scaring or boring the kids!
We started with Farmer boy.. AMAZING! But now we are finishing our 4th book!
There are more but those were and have been our favorite so far.. I normally have a family night when we finish the book to watch the movie.. Its amazing how much the children remember because they will compare the two .. ITS amazing!
What is/are you families favorite read-a-louds??

Home News CNN's Latest Excuse for Biden Taking Classified Information Would Make Stalin Proud
CNN's Latest Excuse for Biden Taking Classified Information Would Make Stalin Proud
CNN will prove that Joe Biden illegally took and kept classified information for six years after he was elected vice president. CNN, the legacy cable news outlet that I have been assured is returning to hard news reporting has a new piece that would make Stalin proud.
They argue that Biden is innocent of all charges because his last days as vice president were a "whirlwind". It's entirely possible that the classified documents were taken by accident and moved to multiple locations including the president's house, where they were kept for more than a decade.
Take a look at the photo they used. This is Pravda with steroids.
White House aides' process to pack up Biden's workspaces was muddled and hurried as he used his office until the final minutes of his vice presidency. https://t.co/mNY5tKvFun
— CNN (@CNN) January 13, 2023
Biden entered work to finish his policy portfolios and to show his accomplishments.
Biden was busy being busy and his office was closing. As soon as Biden was done, his workspaces were packed up in the West Wing, Eisenhower Executive Office Building, and at his official residence, The Naval Observatory.
These competing goals – to use his office till the last minute even though it was shut down – led to a chaotic and hurried process in which aides had to pack boxes of papers and documents late at night and continue to receive more material.
That framing is something you have to love. These stupid people think that classified documents are a big deal. Biden was so dedicated to his role as vice president that he worked until the last day. These classified documents were accidentally taken and stored in Biden's garage, as well as at a think tank backed by CCP.
It gets even better. This is Donald Trump's fault.
Many of Obama's and Biden's aides were anxious about the future and eager for the White House to confirm their achievements. Many who experienced it described it as a difficult time.
According to a familiar source, "It was just really really strange time for everyone."
Former aides claim that the slow pace of official events Biden kept in the last days made packing his office difficult. Every high-profile meeting required a briefing note – which often contained classified information that the President needed to know before he could sit down with foreign leaders.
Biden and his associates would not have been so eager to seal their "accomplishments" if the orange man wasn't so bad. That's how those classified documents ended up next to his Corvette.
It's absurd. All you can do to laugh at it is. It is amazing to see the lengths that the media will go to justify the illegal behavior of Democrats. The excuses in this instance don't stop there.
We don't have any idea what the materials at Biden's Delaware house contained, but we do know that the classified documents at the Penn Biden Center contained SCI data. Are you able to find out where SCI information is kept and can it be viewed? This would be in a SCIF facility. This material is not taken by accident.
Are we to believe that the people who packed Biden's stuff didn't notice all the classified documents lying around? This is a ridiculous belief considering there were multiple troves at different locations. We've reached the point where the excuse "it was just an error" is no longer valid. It doesn't matter that the materials, which deal with Iran and Ukraine, are precise enough to raise serious suspicions. These are the countries Biden happened to have kept stuff from out of all the classified material he handled. Sorry, that's not true.
Take a look back and you will see that CNN, a major news source, assigned reporters the task to write thousands of words about Biden's last days. Yet, not one of the stories explains how or who took the documents. This piece was written to obscure the possible crimes committed. It even used a photo of Biden crying as he received the medal of liberty. It is pathetic to see a media outlet make such a mockery of itself.

Measurement of cortical thickness asymmetry in carotid occlusive disease

Despite being considered an important anatomical parameter directly related to neuronal density, cortical thickness is not routinely assessed in studies of the human brain in vivo. This paucity has been largely due to the size and convoluted shape of the human cortex, which has made it difficult to develop automated algorithms that can measure cortical thickness efficiently and reliably. Since the development of such an algorithm by Fischl and Dale in 2000, the number of studies investigating the relationship between cortical thickness and other physiological parameters in the brain has been on the rise. There have been no studies however that have validated cortical asymmetry against known vascular anatomy. To this aim, using high-resolution MRI, we measured cortical thickness and volume in the primary motor (M1) and primary visual (V1) cortex in patients with unilateral, high-grade carotid occlusive disease (n = 29, age = 74 ± 10 years). These regions were selected based on the hypothesis that there will be thinning of the cortical thickness of M1 in the territory supplied by the occluded carotid artery, whereas V1 will show no asymmetry since its blood supply is provided by unaffected posterior arteries. To test for an effect of handedness, cortical thickness and volume were also measured in healthy volunteers (n = 8, age = 37 ± 13 years). In patients, we found thinner cortex in M1 on the occluded side (mean = 2.07 ± 0.19 mm vs 2.15 ± 0.20 mm, p = 0.0008) but no hemispheric difference in V1 (1.80 ± 0.17 mm in occluded vs 1.78 ± 0.16 mm in unoccluded, p = 0.31). Although the mean cortical volume of M1 in the occluded hemisphere was also lower, the difference did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.09). Similarly, in healthy controls, the results showed no hemispheric asymmetry in either cortical thickness or volume in either region (p > 0.1). To test for an orientation bias in the method, the analysis was repeated with images flipped from neurological to radiological orientation. While the algorithm did not yield identical results for the two orientations, the effect did not alter the findings of the study. These results provide a method for within-subject validation of a pathophysiological effect of carotid occlusive disease on the human cortex and warrant further investigation for underlying mechanisms.

For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Marolles-les-Braults according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.
The estimated value at Marolles-les-Braults is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Marolles-les-Braults and a given station.
The stations contributing to this reconstruction are: Alençon Valframbert Airport (49%, 26 kilometers, northwest); Le Mans-Arnage (34%, 35 kilometers, south); Châteaudun (9%, 82 kilometers, east); and Chartres-Métropole airport (8%, 92 kilometers, east).


The word MICROBIOLOGY describes exactly what the discipline is: the study of small living things. MICRO = small, BIO = living, and LOGY = to study. Microbiology (or specifically, bacteriology) is still a very young science and not yet completely understood. Only about three hundred years have passed since the discovery of the first bacteria. Many estimates suggest that we have studied only about 1% of all the microbes in any given environment1. In the scope of the world, it is obvious to see that the discipline of microbiology is still in its infancy.
What is microbiology all about? In their text, Drs. Thomas Brock and Michael Madigan summarize several aspects of microbiology2.
Living cells and how they work.
Microorganisms, an important class of cells capable of independent existence.
What microbes do in the world, in human society, in our bodies, and in the bodies of animals and plants.
It is about the central role microbiology plays as a basic biological science and how an understanding of microbiology helps in the understanding of the biology of higher organisms–including humans.
Advanced Instruments Microbiology products are integral to the fields of Clinical Microbiology, Food Microbiology and Biotechnology. Through use of the Advanced Instruments Anaerobic Jar System, scientists can isolate, capture, plate, and grow organisms for diagnosis or research purposes.
Of the many microbiology methodologies, Advanced Instruments concentrates on a small segment of the field.
Microbial physiology: How the microbial cell functions biochemically, including the study of microbial growth, microbial metabolism and microbial cell structure.
Microbial genetics: How genes are organized and regulated in microbes in relation to their cellular functions. This is closely related to the field of molecular biology.
Evolutionary microbiology: The evolution of microbes.
Medical microbiology: The role of microbes in human illness, including the study of microbial pathogenesis and epidemiology and the related study of disease pathology and immunology.
Veterinary microbiology: The role of microbes in veterinary medicine.
Environmental microbiology: The function and diversity of microbes in their natural environments.
Industrial microbiology: The exploitation of microbes for use in industrial processes. Examples include industrial fermentation and wastewater treatment. This field is closely linked to the biotechnology industry.
Food Microbiology: The study of microorganisms causing food spoilage and public health concerns.

La Sinfonia n. 3 in mi bemolle maggiore (Op. 20, Al Primo Maggio) di Dmitrij Šostakovič fu composta nel 1929, ed eseguita per la prima volta dall'Orchestra Filarmonica di Leningrado e l'Academy Capella Choir, con la direzione di Aleksandr Gauk.

Storia
Come la precedente sinfonia, quest'opera si articola in un unico movimento, diviso in quattro parti, e con un coro finale, basato su testi di Semën Isaakovič Kirsanov, inneggiante la festa del Primo maggio.

Struttura
Il brano è diviso in quattro sezioni, come fosse una sinfonia con quattro movimenti senza soluzione di continuità:
Allegretto - Allegro, Andante, Largo, Moderato: "V pérvoye, Pérvoye máya".

Tenderness Tour
hero (noun): a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.
They say not all heroes wear capes, yet I couldn't help but notice Richard Propes' cape strapped to the back of his wheelchair in downtown Indianapolis on October 3rd, 2019 during his 30th annual Tenderness Tour.
The event was closing his three-decade-long quest. In his attempt to raise awareness of domestic violence and prevent child abuse, Richard has collected around 6,000 miles in his wheelchair and raised nearly a million dollars for charitable funds. His mission of finding empathy, love, and tenderness in the world had been verified.
The final chapter of the Tenderness Tour would ensure no child was forgotten. Each Indiana child murdered in violence since the Tenderness Tour began on October 8, 1989, would be honored with a 1/3 of a mile lap around the state capital's Monument Circle. He vowed to not leave the downtown circle until all 571 children had their recognition, a challenge for anyone, let alone a paraplegic/double amputee with spina bifida.
It was dusk when I approached him during the 270th lap of his 571 lap trek. His "cape", in reality, was just a pad of paper. Each piece contained a name and death date of a victim ranging between the ages of unborn to 18.
Richards back read "DaVaughn Pitts- September 7, 2013." DaVaughn, barely 18, lost his life in a shooting that left him and another man dead, injuring four more, as they stood in a group outside a home in Gary.
I found myself staring at the name more than expected as we struggled to keep up with the surprisingly fast Richard who zoomed ahead of us down the circular, downtown sidewalk. The stamina he kept after wheeling the circle for more than twenty four hours was incredible.
Zero sleep, sore muscles, a bandaged, wounded hand and minimal stops to eat and use the restroom sounded like a receipt for disaster to anyone. Yet he still had 301 more laps to go and a smile on his face. His expression turned more serious as we reached Christ Church Cathedral, his starting point, and marker for each lap.
His long-time friend and supporter Holly Garrett, who had accompanied us/him in our lap assisted in removing DaVaughn's name from the back of the wheelchair and carefully handed
the paper to Richard.
Holding it thoughtfully, he shook his head and then bowed for a moment of silence. When the moment of silence ended he neatly folded the paper into squares and put it in the pocket of his pants, and like that he was off to another lap, representing a different child.
His 272nd lap read "Destinee Massey November 27th, 2013." A chill ran up my spine. The two year old had been murdered by her mother in Indianapolis', after a potty training accident. Tired of hearing Destinee cry, following a beating from the accident, her mother held her face down into her mattress until the screaming subsided.
When the child's stepfather came home from work later that night he noticed Destinee "groaning and gasping." Her mother refused to take her to the hospital but the next day when Destinee was not any better the stepfather insisted. After changing her drool covered clothing, he drove her to Riley Hospital for Children. Destinee died shortly before noon that day. A scan of little Destinee's brain showed a lack of oxygen, consistent with strangulation or suffocation.
Court documents stated the girl, who appeared smaller in physical size for her age, had numerous bruises and pattern injuries all over her body, including her neck, forehead, chin, back, inner thighs, rib cage, left calf, left knee, right ear, and back of her legs. Bite marks
on the girl's left forearm, inner thigh and several fingers were also observed.
As we ended the lap at Christ Church Cathedral, Richard gave Destinee the same respect and dignity as he had for the previous 270 victims before her and carefully placed her name, neatly folded, into his pocket.
My third and final lap with Richard was lap 272. The back of his wheelchair read "Anthony Warren December 14, 2013." The fifteen year old had been a star football player, once winning state and placed second in the state several times.
He was shot twice at an apartment complex on Indianapolis' northwest side. His mother found out about his death through a Facebook post on his timeline stating "RIP Anthony, we will miss you" less than a half an hour after the shooting took place.an hour after the shooting took place.
After Richard completed Anthony's lap and placed his name in his pocket with the previous victims, we parted ways. By this time, night had set in. It was cold and windy but Monument Circle is where Richard would remain for the next two more days and nights, ensuring each child would be recognized. Richard's dedication to making these victims more than just a name or number fueled his motivation to superhuman strength.
He is no stranger to miracles, after all. Born with spina bifida in 1965, the doctors did not expect him to survive past childhood. Also a victim of childhood sexual abuse, and later being widowed and left fatherless in the late '80s after the death of his wife and daughter, saying he's a survivor is almost an understatement. His life and purpose had bigger plans, giving up was not an option. Those 571 all had a story, a life, that had been robbed from them.

Best Music Artist: Original Soul
by LaToya Henry January 27, 2022 January 11, 2023
photo cred: Justin Mitchell
Original Soul's stage name perfectly describes his music, marketing, and merchandise. While there seems to be an unspoken formula for today's rappers, Original Soul chooses to speak on issues that matter to himself and his community. Even on his website, he's wearing a shirt that says "Racism Sucks." And any fan can expect this same kind of raw and honest energy at an Original Soul show.
Where other artists may stray away from the heavy-hitting material that one would expect the news to cover, Original Soul "has the rare talent and ability to take a club crowded full of hardcore Hip-Hop heads and have them all singing along to a song that is built around the topic of homelessness." (Originalsoulonline.com)
photo cred: Veronica Brown
Original Soul is an accomplished artist who's no stranger to winning awards. Last year, he was our Best of Black Dallas winner for Best Male Hip Hop Artist and Best Local Band. He has recorded more than 13 albums, written more than 270 songs, and produced music for dozens of artists in the Dallas Ft. Worth area and abroad.
Original Soul's label, M4g Entertainment (Music 4 Grownfolks), and his signees, including his wife and performance poet E-Squared, are artists whose music makes you think. In yet another original aspect, the label is a mentoring service. Original Soul is teaches artists how to read contracts, what to look for in deals, who to talk to for distribution, and more. But what's more amazing is that the artists aren't under contract. They're free to pursue a more ideal situation at any time, and keep the knowledge they acquired with them. One of the label's goals is for each artist to be self sufficient; the contrary is certainly more often true than not.

With the heart of a champion and music for the masses, we can't wait to see what Original Soul does next. Learn more about Original Soul on his website.

New "Solo: A Star Wars Story" Character Posters Released
by Laughing Place Disney Newsdesk | Apr 23, 2018 5:23 PM Pacific Time
Tags: Disney Movies, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Star Wars
Disney and Lucasfilm have released a set of new character posters for their upcoming film Solo: A Star Wars Story.
The new set of posters feature designs for nine different characters:
Han (Alden Ehrenreich)
Qi'ra (Emilia Clarke)
Lando (Donald Glover)
Val (Thandie Newton)
Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo)
Beckett (Woody Harrelson)
Dryden (Paul Bettany)
L3-37 (Phoebe Waller-Bridge)
and Rio (Jon Favreau)
ICYMI — Solo's flight path:
When the first character posters for Solo: A Star Wars Story were released earlier this year, a French artist accused Disney of plagiarizing artwork he created for a series of Sony Music compilations. Disney said at the time, "The posters were created by an outside vendor and it's something we are currently looking into."
The film was originally set to be directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who previously helmed The Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street, and other films. Mere weeks before filming was set to wrap, Lucasfilm announced it had parted ways with the duo, citing "artistic differences." Ron Howard was confirmed to direct a few days later.
Fans got a first look at Solo during the Super Bowl, with a teaser trailer debuting the following day.
A full trailer for the film was released earlier this month. You can check out Ryan's analysis of that clip here.
As you'd expect, plenty of Solo: A Star Wars Story merchandise has already been released, including toys, apparel, and much more. Bekah rounded up the best of these items here.
Disney's Hollywood Studios will celebrate the release of Solo this summer with the latest installment of Star Wars: Galactic Nights. The event will feature specialty merchandise, food, an appearance by Joonas Suotamo, and much more. Tickets for the event are $129 for adults and are now on sale.
Solo: A Star Wars Story flies into theatres May 25th.

Q: Why ssh-keygen -f "~/.ssh/known_hosts" -R "hostname or ip" doesn't work? When I type this command, the following message appears:
line 1 invalid key: -----BEGIN ...
~/.ssh/known_hosts is not a valid known hosts file.
Not replacing existing known_hosts file because of errors

A: The following line suggests that there's something in your known_hosts file that isn't a known host:
line 1 invalid key: -----BEGIN

That makes it look like there's an SSH key that was accidentally written to ~/.ssh/known_hosts instead of ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Open it in an editor.  The known hosts entries look like:
192.168.1.1 ssh-rsa RzF4THZKZjc4S1VDRkdIVFZGYkg2dHJoWllDZkx4cmJib0RhY1F3SzczQWc3R2JHcFlpUjdvVE9Ia014RDlqMWOR2FseXdqVmlOeHJXcnZ4NUhVcGRhYzJ0R1VPaVRNNWlPbHZReFdEZ2dEd3RiR2g1cHZ1SFVwb1Y1WUx2VzFDVEJLcE4wOWJNdmluRTFMU2hlR1lU

An SSH key looks like:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
VXhTNTdlUExWVHdjVEJnSE1xZmlHak5uRGw5dVVyWEhMOHEzd2ZvVHFKWG02ZHc4cnJZY2J0UUdE

RDNscDlad2lBUDlhb25BSXM=
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Remove the SSH key parts from the top and put them in the proper place (~/.ssh/id_rsa if that file doesn't already exist), or delete the whole file if you don't need any of it.

A:
~/.ssh/known_hosts is not a valid known hosts file.

I think this means the file exists but it is not in the standard format.
ssh-keygen updates the file, so you don't lose any previous keys. It is important that it can understand the existing entries before it edits in any new ones.
Look at the existing file with a text editor, and see what is in it. It might be empty or corrupted by a previous error. You need to decide if you can repair it (take a backup first), or if you want to start over. Maybe just mv it to:
~/.ssh/known_hosts.yyyymmdd

that would be a timestamp from its existing creation date, so ssh-keygen will make a fresh file.

Q: Asp.Net Core 1.1 The key was not found in the key ring DEFAULT PROJECT IN VS 2017
I have created a new Asp.net Core web application in vs 2017 community and published it on a FTP hosting, but when I submit a form (login or user creation) I get this error:

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.Internal.DefaultAntiforgery[7]
        An exception was thrown while deserializing the token. System.InvalidOperationException: The antiforgery token could not be
  decrypted. ---> System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException:
  The key {...} was not found in the key ring.

What do I need to do to make it work? thanks.

A: Likely your issue is that you have disabled disable the user profile in IIS
, up date that and the error like
[WRN] Error unprotecting the session cookie.
System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: The key {e47d051f-d492-4df7-8781-31d884833ec6} was not found in the key ring.

and Antiforgery
[ERR] An exception was thrown while deserializing the token.
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.AntiforgeryValidationException: The antiforgery token could not be decrypted.
 ---> System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: The key {e47d051f-d492-4df7-8781-31d884833ec6} was not found in the key ring.

Will most likely magically go away.

A: If your IIS Application Pool is set to use ApplicationPoolIdentity, then you need to make sure "Load User Profile" is set to "True" for the IIS Application Pool.
See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/data-protection/configuration/default-settings?view=aspnetcore-2.1

*If the user profile is available, keys are persisted to the %LOCALAPPDATA%\ASP.NET\DataProtection-Keys folder. If the operating
  system is Windows, the keys are encrypted at rest using DPAPI.

A: If your hosting environment is using more than one instance for the application this may be the cause of the problem.
The simplest way to solve this is to scale down to one instance and make maximum number of instances 1.
This is for the side of identity or login API.
As your application is making login to an instance.
And checking the token with another instance.

Q: If P is k-c.c. and C is club in k in M[G] then C contains a club in M I've seen this written several places without proof, so I assume it's not difficult, but I am not getting it.
Let $\mathbb P$ be a $\kappa$-c.c. notion of forcing, and let $C\in M[G]$ be club in $\kappa$.  I want to show there exists $D\in M$ such that $D\subset C$ is club in $\kappa$.  Kunen suggests:  let $f\in M[G], f:\kappa\rightarrow\kappa$ such that $\forall\alpha<\kappa(\alpha<f(\alpha)\in C$.  Then because the forcing is $\kappa$-c.c., there exists $F\in M, F:\kappa\rightarrow P(\kappa)$ such that $\forall\alpha<\kappa(\alpha<f(\alpha)\in F(\alpha)\wedge(|F(\alpha)|<\kappa)^{M})$.  But now I'm stuck.  The union of the image of $F$ is a set cofinal in $\kappa$, which contains a cofinal subset of $C$ that is not necessarily closed.  Any ideas?  Thank you!

A: This is how I think about it. Suppose that $\dot C$ is a $P$-name and some condition $p_0$ forces that $\dot C$ is club in $\kappa$. Consider the set $D$ of ordinal $\alpha\lt\kappa$ such that $p_0$ forces $\check\alpha\in\dot C$. This set is certainly closed, since if $p_0$ forces ordinals into $\dot C$, then by closure it will also force their supremum into $\dot C$. But $D$ is also unbounded. To see this, fix any ordinal $\alpha_0$. The club $C$ will have a next element after $\alpha_0$, and by the mixing lemma, we can find a name $\dot\beta_0$ such that $p_0$ forces that $\dot\beta_0$ is the next element of $\dot C$ after $\check\alpha$. (This is essentially the function $f$ you mention.) There is an antichain of possible values for $\dot\beta_0$---this is the function $F$ you mention---and so by the $\kappa$-c.c. of $P$, we can find an ordinal $\alpha_1$ such that $p_0$ forces $\dot\beta_0\lt\check\alpha_1$. Now continue with $\dot\beta_1$ and $\alpha_2$, $\dot\beta_2$ and so on in the same way. Thus, the condition $p_0$ forces that each $\dot\beta_n$ is in $\dot C$, so it forces that the supremum of these $\omega$ many ordinals is in $\dot C$. But this  supremum is the same as the supremum of the $\alpha_n$, and so $p_0$ forces that the ordinal $\alpha_\omega=\text{sup}\alpha_n$ is in $\dot C$. Thus, we have found an ordinal in $D$ above $\alpha_0$, and so $D$ is unbounded, as desired.

Ahead of their summer holidays in Greece, today, Friday July 16, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima, along with their three daughters, Princesses Catharina-Amalia, Alexia and Ariane, posed in the garden of Huis ten Bosch Palace.
Due to the Coronavirus outbreak the reporters had to keep their distance from one another.
The King and Queen and their daughters posed near the pond for the photos in different combinations, not only all the family together but also individual portrait, the three princesses photographed together and the King and Queen also posed together.
During the photo shoot the Royal couple spoke briefly to the press gathered for the event.
Addressing the media present for the event, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima remembered crime journalist Peter R. de Vries, killed after being shot in an attack. The Royal Couple called him "a special person". Talking about their daughters the King and the Queen said that their middle daughter, Princess Alexia, next month will travel to Wales where she will complete her secondary studies at the UWC Atlantic College. It is the same college attended by the King in 1983.
On the contrary Princess Catharina-Amalia, who recently got her high school diploma and was planning a gap year abroad, is still uncertain about the gap year due to the evolution of the pandemic.

François II de Clèves, duc de Nevers et comte de Rethel ( – 19 December 1562) was a French Prince étranger, military commander and governor of Champagne. Beginning his military career during the latter Italian Wars, he fought under François, Duke of Guise in Italy as captain of light horse.

In the reign of Charles IX, he ascended to his father's position as governor of Champagne. In this position, he initially showed favour to his co-religionists, encouraging their church services when he visited Troyes in November 1561. With the outbreak of the French Wars of Religion the following year, he confirmed this attitude with a promise of support to the leader of the rebels, Condé. However, after this point he would retreat from his support of the Protestant cause.

When the Protestants of Troyes, one of the primary cities of his governate, attempted a coup in favour of Condé in April 1562, Nevers travelled to the city, urging the Protestants to withdraw from the gates they had seized and disarm. In the following months, he sought to chart a middle path, encouraging Catholics and Protestants to share control of the city government and militia. However, when he withdrew from the town, he left it under the authority of his subordinate Bordes who began persecuting the towns Protestants. Nevers, increasingly uninterested, supported Bordes in his brutal capture of the town of Bar-sur-Seine which had been taken by Protestant rebels. After this, he seized a château near Reims that had been taken by Protestants, executing the garrison. In December, now with the royal army in Normandy, he fought for the crown at the Battle of Dreux where he was killed.

Early life and family
François II de Clèves duke of Nevers was born in 1540, the son of François I de Clèves and Marguerite de Bourbon-La Marche. His family held a strategic position between the Aisne and the Meuse, with his families main seat of residence at Rethel. To ensure the families success in the region François I established marital alliances with the other leading princely families of the region. François II's sister Catherine de Clèves was married to the sovereign prince of Porcien, Antoine III de Croÿ a leading Protestant militant. His brother Jacques de Clèves married the daughter of Bouillon, another Protestant sovereign prince.

François married Anne de Bourbon-Montpensier in September 1561, with whom he would have no children before his death.

Reign of Henri II
Nevers began his career serving as a captain of light horse under Guise, fighting in Italy in 1555. In 1557, Nevers was with Guise in Italy again, as Guise campaigned against the duke of Alba in the Papal States.

Reign of François II
With the death of Henri II, the new regime, led by the Guise was faced with sources of potential opposition. The most prominent of these was the ambitious Condé, who chafed at their leadership. To remove him as a challenger, the Guise first floated the idea of him receiving Coligny's  governorship of Picardy. They then moved to extricate him from the court while they consolidated, instructing him to present the signed peace of Cateau-Cambrésis to Philip II of Spain. After hesitating to accept this removal from court, Condé eventually obliged them in August. Accompanying him on his mission to Ghent would be Nevers and one of his brothers, to ensure he performed his task correctly.

Reign of Charles IX

Succession
In August 1561 Nevers succeeded his dying father as governor of Champagne. He was viewed with great hope by both the Protestants and Catholics of Champagne, many of whom felt he would be a strong friend of their religion. In November he confirmed the Protestants hopes visiting Troyes and encouraging the Protestant community of the town to hold open services.

Condé
In April 1562 as the first war of religion got underway, Nevers was approached by Condé, his uncle, who asked him to draw up funds and troops from Champagne to support the capture of Orléans. Nevers verbally assured him of his support and dutifully passed this request onto the towns of Champagne.

Troyes
In Troyes the Catholic notable Esclavolles engineered the election of Catholic échevins, excluding Huguenot candidates from the vote. The Protestants of the town, outraged sent petitions to Paris, to inform Nevers that Esclavolles was usurping his rightful authority in the city. Shortly thereafter the Protestants of the city seized two of the gates in a partial coup of the town. Nevers made his way to the town, arriving on 21 April, entering after he had talked the Protestant militants into putting down their arms, promising they would not be harmed.

Nevers was not as enthusiastic to support Condé's cause as the Protestants of Troyes had hoped, preferring instead a police of neutrality. When his subordinate Bordes tried to pursue a group of Protestant soldiers who were travelling off to Condé's army, Nevers called him off from the chase. Nevers favoured a joint Catholic and Protestant control of the gates of the town, he also prohibited the possession of weapons, ordering judges to disarm the populace. These policy moves made the Protestants nervous, concerned the Catholic judiciary would un-evenly enforce the prohibition however Nevers reassured them that no harm would come. The searches revealed a large stash of weapons held by the Protestants of the town, Nevers was frustrated and wrote to the king saying he wished the leading Protestants of the town would leave but would not force them to go.

Nevers opined that the town would benefit from a council comprised equally of both religions, and further pushed the town to raise a defensive company which the urban administration resisted, unwilling to shoulder the expense. At this time Porcien was active in Champagne with a Protestant force, and menaced the towns of Troyes and Châlons, but did not conduct an assault on either. In July Nevers withdrew from Troyes, as it underwent a bout of plague and left his militant Catholic subordinate Bordes in charge of the town. The situation for Protestants in Troyes rapidly declined as they were excluded from the militia, political office and then subject to violent harassment. Representatives of the community went to complain to Nevers but he trusted his subordinate was being misrepresented. In late August Bordes attacked the town of Bar-sur-Seine, which had been taken over in a Protestant coup, on Nevers' orders. He massacred the Protestants of the town killing over 100 after he had control of the town. Involved in the assault was Nevers' gendarmerie company.

Campaigning and death
On 23 September, Nevers led a force of 1600 men against a Protestant held château near Reims. Having successfully drawn the garrison out with a ruse, he had them executed.

As the two sides drew up in front of each other at the field of Dreux, Nevers faced down his co-religionists from the royal camp. In the battle that followed, he would be killed.

Mark-Anthony Kaye headed home Carlos Vela's corner in the 32nd minute at Banc of California Stadium to put LAFC ahead against their fellow expansion franchise.
The result leaves LAFC three points clear of second-placed Seattle Sounders, who had Will Bruin's brace to thank for a 3-2 win over Toronto, Jozy Altidore netting a double in vain for the visitors to CenturyLink Field.
LA Galaxy are a point further back in third after winning their fourth match in succession as Zlatan Ibrahimovic's pair of first-half strikes earned a 2-0 victory at home to Philadelphia Union, who had Auston Trusty sent off for committing a second bookable offence with 14 minutes to go.
There were five goals inside the first 32 minutes of Minnesota United's match at home to New York City, who had Ismael Tajouri to thank for rescuing a point in a 3-3 draw and sparing the blushes of Sean Johnson, the goalkeeper having conceded a comical own goal to gift the hosts the advantage.

Music Reviews: Willie Nile Tribute, Greg Copeland, Juni Ata, Colter Wall
Jeff Burger August 4, 2020	Comments Off on Music Reviews: Willie Nile Tribute, Greg Copeland, Juni Ata, Colter Wall 140 Views
Various Artists, Willie Nile Uncovered. Forty years after the release of his debut album, Willie Nile still isn't widely known, and neither are some of the most impressive artists on this two-disc tribute album. That fact underscores how easily fine musicians can get lost in the shuffle, though in the case of this rock singer/songwriter, relative obscurity is at least partly a result of how sporadic his output has been. Music business legal troubles sidelined him for more than a decade after his first two LPs, and it's only in recent years that he has been issuing albums on a regular basis. While the masses don't know him, at any rate, he has plenty of admirers among his fellow musicians, more than two dozen of whom show up here.
Like most multi-artist collections, this one has its ups and downs, but there are plenty of the former, including a violin-spiced reading of "Les Champs Elysees" by the great Paris-based Elliott Murphy; "Vagabond Moon," a folk-flavored version of an indelible rocker from Nile's debut album by New York studio musician Kenny White; Richard Shindell's predictably gripping take on "The Road to Calvary"; John Gorka's melancholy reading of "I Can't Do Crazy (Anymore)," which Nile wrote with Danny Kortchmar; and the inimitable Nils Lofgren's cover of "All God's Children."
Nearly all of the contributing artists bring something fresh to the material while remaining true to its spirit. The album will likely make you want to explore Nile's recordings and also investigate some of the folks who cover them here.
Greg Copeland, The Tango Bar. While many years have passed between some albums by Willie Nile, he has been downright prolific by comparison with Southern California's Greg Copeland.
Copeland had early success as a composer, co-writing "Buy for Me the Rain," the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's 1967 pop hit, with Steve Noonan; and collaborating with his high school friend Jackson Browne on such songs as "The Fairest of the Seasons," which appeared the same year on Nico's Chelsea Girl LP. But Copeland didn't release an album of his own until 1982, when he issued the Browne-produced Revenge Will Come. Although that album garnered critical acclaim, Copeland didn't foresee enough success to put food on the table, so he walked away from music and ultimately became an attorney.
His sophomore LP, Diana and James, didn't show up until 2008. And now, 12 years later at age 74, he has gotten around to delivering record number three. "It takes me a while to see what's real in a song," he says, "and to accumulate a group of songs that sound like an album."
The Tango Bar indeed sounds like an album, and a very good one. The contemplative compositions—all by Copeland, though he had co-writers for two of them—are melodic and poetic, and the atmospheric, understated performances, which prominently feature piano and guitar, are consistently amiable. Copeland's weathered voice enlivens five of the tracks, such as the appropriately brooding "Lou Reed" and the accordion-flavored "Let Him Dream"; but elsewhere he cedes centerstage to a couple of terrific female vocalists—Caitlin Canty and Inara George (daughter of the late Little Feat leader Lowell George).
Canty's "Better Now" and George's "I'll Be Your Sunny Day" are particularly wonderful. Interestingly, given Copeland's Nico connection and Reed tribute, both of these songs convey a combination of sweetness and sadness that reminds me a bit of Velvet Underground's "I'll Be Your Mirror" and "After Hours."
Juni Ata, Saudade. The second I finished playing this album, I went straight back to the beginning and played it again—always a good sign. Ata (real name: Jesse Daniel Edwards)—who has worked with such artists as Morrissey and Lucinda Williams—has reportedly been writing songs for years with no intention of ever recording them. Good thing his friend Jake Rosswog (who became his producer and arranger) helped change his mind about that.
Ata's complex melodies, emotional lyrics, and distinctive vocals add up to a mesmerizing package on the well-named Saudade—a Portuguese word that means "a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing." Many of the songs effectively feature strings and brass but "Hard Letting You Down Easy," with just piano, serves as a reminder that Ata's voice is the most powerful instrument here. The lush arrangements and lyrical focus are among the elements that make me think of acts like Jack's Mannequin and the lesser-known Modern Love Child, but nobody sounds quite like Ata.
Colter Wall, Western Swing & Waltzes and Other Punchy Songs. Tony Bennett may have left his heart in San Francisco, but Colter Wall clearly left his a little farther inland, perhaps at a rodeo in a Wyoming prairie town. Featuring his sturdy baritone and a backup band that employs pedal steel, dobro, harmonica, mandolin, fiddle, bass, and drums, the Canadian-born singer performs classic- and classic-sounding western and cowboy music that recalls artists like Marty Robbins and Sons of the Pioneers.
The program on this self-produced third album includes six Wall originals, among them the title track, an ode to the genre; the upbeat "Rocky Mountain Rangers"; the tongue-in-cheek "Talkin' Prairie Boy"; and a moody ballad called "Houlihans at the Holiday Inn." They fit right in alongside covers of Robbins's "Big Iron," "Cowpoke" from Stan Jones (who is best known for "Ghost Riders in the Sky"), and the traditional "Diamond Joe" and "I Ride an Old Paint/Leavin' Cheyenne."

Music Reviews: Lou Reed's 'New York,' Plus Gay Marshall and Rick Shea
A vastly expanded edition of Lou Reed's 'New York' includes a powerful concert recording. Plus, an album of Leonard Cohen covers from Gay Marshall and new music from Rick Shea.


Elementary and middle school students all over Italy were challenged to come up with a name and logo for Roberto Vittori's mission aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour. More than 2000 suggestions from around 200 schools were received.
In addition to providing Roberto's third trip to the International Space Station, STS-134 carried the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer. This fundamental instrument gave the hint to a young pupil to use the initial letters of 'dark matter' to form the winning acronym DAMA.
Following the same idea, an 11-year-old girl from Modena drew the logo that Roberto wore on his space suit. AMS-02 inspired her to sketch an antimatter particle emerging from the trail of the Space Shuttle, with the Italian flag in the background.

Airlines set '08 cutbacks
Four major U.S. airlines cut their 2008 domestic-capacity plans yesterday on mounting concern that rising oil prices and a weakening economy would erode earnings.
Operating profit at Delta will be zero tonegative 2% of sales.Read moreEd Bastian:
by By Susanna Ray and Mary Schlangenstein, Bloomberg News, Inquirer
One of them, Delta Air Lines Inc., the third-largest U.S. carrier, also forecast that higher fuel costs would wipe out a fourth-quarter operating profit.
A 48 percent surge in the price of jet fuel this year and the prospect for curtailed U.S. travel demand prompted the changes even as several carriers said traffic and unit revenue rose last month.
"We see no business case to grow domestically," Jake Brace, chief financial officer at United Airlines parent UAL Corp., said at an airline conference in New York.
The climb in fuel prices and potential for a drop in demand threaten the financial recovery of U.S. carriers, most of which posted profits in 2006 after five straight years of losses.
The impact of high oil prices "remains one of the top challenges facing the industry today," American Airlines chief financial officer Tom Horton said at the conference. American was not one of the four carriers that announced plans to cut the number of seats it offers next year.
United, the world's second-largest carrier, said capacity in its main U.S. jet operations would fall between 3 percent and 4 percent in 2008. Delta plans to pare its number of seats between 4 percent and 5 percent.
Southwest Airlines Co., the largest low-fare carrier, cut its 2008 capacity growth for a third time, to between 4 percent and 5 percent. Continental Airlines Inc. said it would slow growth in its main jet operations to between 2 percent and 3 percent from between 3 percent and 4 percent.
U.S. carriers have boosted ticket prices seven times since Sept. 1 to combat the rising price of jet fuel. The latest attempt by five of the largest airlines was rolled back Monday after one competitor decided against an increase.
"We are concerned about growing evidence of slowing economic growth that would inevitably affect passenger demand, coupled with a surge in energy prices," Southwest chief executive officer Gary Kelly said in a statement.
Delta and other network carriers continue to focus on international routes, where fares are higher and there is less competition from discounters such as Southwest.
United has a satisfactory ability with its current fleet to add 15 percent to international flying over the next few years without buying new planes, Brace said. The carrier may consider ordering a handful of aircraft for overseas routes once that expansion is complete, he said.
Operating profit at Delta will be zero to negative 2 percent of sales, down from an Oct. 16 forecast of 3 percent to 5 percent, chief financial officer Ed Bastian said at the New York conference.
"Domestic capacity cuts are prudent," said Jim Corridore, a Standard & Poor's Corp. analyst in New York. Delta's move and slowing domestic growth at competitors are likely to help airlines boost prices next year, he said.
Delta said it was seeking $400 million in 2008 savings to compensate for the decline. Measures will include a partial hiring freeze, job cuts, reduced spending for marketing, and the installation of lighter seats and winglets on some aircraft to improve fuel efficiency.
The carrier will also cut U.S. seating capacity considerably by returning some leased planes, Bastian said.
Southwest, which also slowed its expansion plans in October and June, now will receive seven to nine new aircraft in 2008, down from original plans for 34.
At Continental, chief financial officer Jeff Misner said that, even with the decision to pare expansion, the carrier was "not quite prepared to declare a downturn here."
Cutting Back
Four major airlines plan to change their seat capacities next year to use less fuel.
Continental:
Increase seats by 2 percent to 3 percent instead of the planned 3 percent to 4 percent.
4 percent to 5 percent decrease.
4 percent to 5 percent increase, but a third reduction in its forecast.
