Sounds like s great run and a confidence booster!
It was one of those runs that marked improvement, and was hedonistcally gratifying. So nice. Thanks Beth.
I think that is my favorite post of yours about running. There is a flow–your run became literature for a moment there, to borrow from Norman Maclean. I've got a post back in there somewhere in my blog about cairns, too. You come across them, and instantly feel part of something else, intangible. Good post.
Thanks. You're right, it began as a typical short run and became so much more.

The Bush Family Gets Away with Crimes That Would Land Anyone Else in Jail
The Bush Rules of Evidence
By Robert Parry
In the history of the American Republic, perhaps no political family has been more protected from scandal than the Bushes.
When the Bushes are involved in dirty deals or even criminal activity, standards of evidence change. Instead of proof "beyond a reasonable doubt" that would lock up an average citizen, the evidence must be perfect.
If there's any doubt at all, the Bushes must be presumed innocent. Even when their guilt is obvious to anyone with an ounce of common sense, it's their accusers and those who dare investigate who get the worst of it. Their motives are challenged and their own shortcomings are cast in the harshest possible light.
For decades — arguably going back generations — the Bushes have been protected by their unique position straddling two centers of national power, the family's blueblood Eastern Establishment ties and the Texas oil crowd with strong links to the Republican Right. [For details on this family phenomenon, see Robert Parry's Secrecy & Privilege.]
This reality was underscored again by how major news outlets and the right-wing press reacted to a new piece of evidence implicating George W. Bush in a criminal cover-up in the "Plame-gate" scandal.
Though the evidence is now overwhelming that President Bush was part of a White House cabal that leaked Valerie Plame Wilson's identity as a covert CIA officer and then covered up the facts, major newspapers, such as the New York Times and the Washington Post, continue to pooh-pooh this extraordinary scandal.
The latest piece of evidence was the statement from former White House press secretary Scott McClellan that Bush was one of five senior officials who had him clear Karl Rove and I. Lewis Libby in the leak when, in fact, they were two of the leakers.
"The most powerful leader in the world had called upon me to speak on his behalf and help restore the credibility he lost amid the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq," McClellan said in a snippet released by the publisher of his upcoming memoir.
"So I stood at the White House briefing room podium in front of the glare of the klieg lights for the better part of two weeks and publicly exonerated two of the senior-most aides in the White House: Karl Rove and Scooter Libby," McClellan said. "There was one problem. It was not true."
After McClellan's statement touched off a brief furor on the Internet and cable TV shows, his publisher Peter Osnos tried to soften the blow. Osnos told Bloomberg News that McClellan didn't mean that Bush deliberately ordered his press secretary to lie.
"He told him something that wasn't true, but the President didn't know it wasn't true," Osnos said.
What Bush Knew
But neither McClennan nor Osnos knows what Bush really knew.
The revelatory point in McClellan's statement was that Bush was a direct participant in the campaign to protect Rove and Libby as they lied about their roles in the leak. Previously that was an inference one could draw from the facts, but it had not been confirmed by a White House official.
Indeed, looking at the available evidence, it would defy credulity that Bush wasn't implicated in the Plame-gate leak and the subsequent cover-up, which led to Libby's conviction earlier this year on four counts of perjury and obstruction of justice.
For Bush not to have been involved would have required him to be oblivious to the inner workings of the White House and the actions of his closest advisers on an issue of great importance to him.
From the evidence at Libby's trial, it was already clear that Bush had a direct hand in the effort to discredit Plame's husband, former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson, after he had gone public in July 2003 with his role in a CIA investigation of what turned out to be bogus claims that Iraq had sought yellowcake uranium from Niger.
Bush, who had cited those bogus claims in his 2003 State of the Union Address in making his case for invading Iraq, was worried about his credibility when U.S. forces failed to find WMD evidence and when Wilson became the first Washington insider to start questioning Bush's case for war.
So, Bush collaborated with Vice President Dick Cheney in mounting a counter-attack against Wilson. Bush decided to selectively declassify portions of a National Intelligence Estimate in order to undercut Wilson's credibility and agreed to have that information leaked to friendly reporters.
It was in that context that Libby, Rove and other administration officials went forth to brief reporters, contacts that ended up disclosing that Wilson's CIA wife, Plame, played a role in arranging his work on the CIA investigation. The suggestion was that Wilson's unpaid fact-finding trip to Niger was a case of nepotism or a junket.
Following these press contacts, Plame's identity surfaced in a July 14, 2003, article by right-wing columnist Robert Novak, who had gotten his information from two sources, Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage and his friend, the president's chief political adviser Karl Rove.
But Rove's work on the Plame leak didn't stop with Novak's article; he continued to peddle the information to other journalists, such as MSNBC's Chris Matthews, who told Wilson a week after Novak's column, "I just got off the phone with Karl Rove. He says and I quote, 'Wilson's wife is fair game.'"
Rove has since disputed the precise "fair game" quote, but he doesn't deny talking to Matthews about Plame's identity. So, we know that a week after the original leaks had blown Plame's undercover status, Bush had not called off the dogs. His closest political adviser still was using the information to undermine Wilson.
Hardball Politics
This pattern of hardball politics, of course, fits with how George W. Bush and others in his family play the game.
His father, George H.W. Bush, would talk about how rough he could be when in "campaign mode." The younger George Bush just extended that pugnacious approach to full-time, aided and abetted by a powerful right-wing media that has carried water for him consistently over the past eight years.
Even American citizens who get in Bush's way feel the lash. Just ask the likes of former weapons inspector Scott Ritter, who challenged Bush's pre-Iraq War claims about WMD, or the Dixie Chicks, who dared to diss the Commander in Chief at one of their concerts.
So, the treatment of Wilson/Plame was part of the standard fare for what happened to Americans who dissented on Bush's war policies. However, this one was a little different because the leak destroyed the career of a covert CIA officer and endangered her network of foreign agents who had been supplying information about WMD in the Middle East.
In September 2003, upset about this collateral damage, the CIA forwarded a criminal complaint to the Justice Department seeking an investigation into the outing of Plame. As far as the CIA was concerned, her classified identity was covered by a 1982 law barring willful exposure of CIA officers who had "served" abroad in the preceding five years.
But Bush and his inner circle could still breathe easily since the probe was under the control of Attorney General John Ashcroft, considered to be a right-wing Bush ally. The White House responded to press inquiries disingenuously, claiming Bush took the leak very seriously and would punish anyone involved.
"The President has set high standards, the highest of standards, for people in his administration," McClellan said on Sept. 29, 2003. "If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration."
Bush personally announced his determination to get to the bottom of the matter.
"If there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is," Bush said on Sept. 30, 2003. "I want to know the truth. If anybody has got any information inside our administration or outside our administration, it would be helpful if they came forward with the information so we can find out whether or not these allegations are true."
Yet, even as Bush was professing his curiosity and calling for anyone with information to step forward, he was withholding the fact that he had authorized the declassification of some secrets about the Niger uranium issue and had ordered Cheney to arrange for those secrets to be given to reporters.
In other words, though Bush knew a great deal about how the anti-Wilson scheme got started — since he was involved in starting it — he uttered misleading public statements to conceal the White House role.
Spreading Lies
Also, since the other conspirators knew that Bush already was in the know, they would have read his comments as a signal to lie, which is what they did. In early October, press secretary McClellan said he could report that political adviser Karl Rove and National Security Council aide Elliott Abrams were not involved in the Plame leak.
That comment riled Libby, who feared that he was being hung out to dry. Libby went to his boss, Dick Cheney, and complained that "they're trying to set me up; they want me to be the sacrificial lamb," Libby's lawyer Theodore Wells later said.
Cheney scribbled down his feelings in a note to press secretary McClellan: "Not going to protect one staffer + sacrifice the guy the Pres that was asked to stick his head in the meat grinder because of incompetence of others."
Cheney initially ascribed Libby's role in going after Wilson to Bush's orders, but the Vice President apparently thought better of it, crossing out "the Pres" and putting the clause in a passive tense.
Cheney has never explained publicly the meaning of his note, but it suggests that it was Bush who sent Libby out on the get-Wilson mission to limit damage from Wilson's criticism of Bush's false Niger-yellowcake claim in the State of the Union Address.
Cheney's reference to the "incompetence of others" may refer to those who cleared the false Niger claim in the first place.
Bush's subsequent behavior in the latter half of 2003 adds to the evidence of his guilt.
Assuming Bush was sincere in his desire to get to the bottom of who leaked Plame's identity — or just wanted to make sure there was no security risk in his inner circle — he presumably would have ordered an internal White House security probe. But he didn't.
James Knodell, director of the White House security office, conceded before a congressional committee in March 2007 that no internal security investigation was performed; no security clearances were suspended or revoked; no punishment of any kind was meted out to White House political adviser Rove, even after his role in leaking Plame's classified identity was determined.
Knodell, whose job included assessing Executive Branch security breaches, said that what he knew about the Plame case was "through the press." A logical inference from Knodell's inaction was that Bush already knew who had leaked Plame's identity because he was involved in the leak.
In fall 2003, with no White House security review underway and the criminal probe presumably bottled up in the Justice Department, the cover-up broadened. On Oct. 4, 2003, McClellan added Libby to the list of officials who have "assured me that they were not involved in this."
So, Libby had a motive to lie to the FBI when he was first interviewed about the case. He had gone to the mat with his boss to get his name cleared in the press, meaning it would make little sense to then admit involvement to FBI investigators, especially when it looked as if the cover-up would hold.
"The White House had staked its credibility on there being no White House involvement in the leaking of information about Ms. Wilson," a federal court filing later noted. For his part, Libby began claiming that he had first learned about Plame's CIA identity from NBC's Washington bureau chief Tim Russert after Wilson had gone public.
This White House cover-up might have worked, except in late 2003, Ashcroft decided he wouldn't be the loyal foot soldier and recused himself because of a conflict of interest. Deputy Attorney General James Comey then picked Patrick Fitzgerald — the U.S. Attorney in Chicago — to serve as special prosecutor.
Fitzgerald pursued the investigation far more aggressively. Bush's White House countered with a combination of public stonewalling and a continued PR campaign to further discredit Wilson.
Bush's political and media allies dissected every nuance of the Wilson/Plame case to highlight supposed inconsistencies and contradictions.
The Republican National Committee put out nasty anti-Wilson talking points; senior Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Committee called Wilson a liar; the right-wing media — aided and abetted by the Washington Post's neoconservative editorial page — amplified these ugly attacks to the public.
Right-wing lawyer Victoria Toensing received widespread media coverage when she claimed that Plame was not a "covert" officer under the definition of the 1982 law protecting the identities of intelligence agents because it only applied to CIA personnel who had "resided" or were "stationed" abroad in the previous five years.
Toensing argued that since Plame, the mother of young twins, was stationed at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, and resided in the Washington area, she wasn't "covert" even if that was her official CIA status. But Toensing was misrepresenting the law that she said she had helped draft while a congressional staffer in the early 1980s.
The actual wording of the law as it pertained to CIA and other clandestine officers was "served" abroad, which is not synonymous with "stationed" or "resided," the words that Toensing had substituted.
One can be stationed or reside inside the United States and still "serve" abroad by undertaking secret missions overseas, which Plame had done.
But many in the right-wing news media and even at prestige newspapers like the Washington Post adopted Toensing's word games as reality. It became an article of faith in some political circles that Plame was not a "covert" officer and that therefore there was "no underlying crime" in the leaking of her identity.
Bush's Guilt?
But what does this ongoing pattern of deception and character assassination against Wilson and Plame suggest about Bush's innocence or guilt?
If Bush were the innocent party that we are supposed to believe, wouldn't he have acted differently? Wouldn't he have called for an end to these attacks on two American citizens who had served their country?
But Bush never tried to halt these cruel diversionary tactics. The White House goal, it appears, was to stir up enough confusion so that the public wouldn't focus on the logical conclusion that Bush was responsible for damaging a CIA operation intended to protect national security.
In October 2005, Fitzgerald indicted Libby on five counts of lying to federal investigators and obstructing justice. Libby was convicted on four of five counts in March 2007 and sentenced to 30 months in jail.
But Bush's role in the cover-up wasn't finished. On July 2, 2007, Bush commuted Libby's sentence to spare him any jail time. The President also left open the possibility that Libby might receive a full pardon before Bush left the White House.
The combination of taking away the stick of jail time and dangling the carrot of a full pardon eliminated any incentive for Libby to turn state's evidence against Bush, Cheney and other senior officials.
In a different era, one might expect major newspapers, like the New York Times and the Washington Post, to erupt in fury over such an obvious case of presidential wrongdoing. One also might have anticipated serious hearings by a Democratic-controlled Congress to get to the bottom of this sorry affair.
But not in this era. Even when former press secretary McClellan became the first White House insider to acknowledge that senior officials, including Bush and Cheney, put him up to spreading lies about the Plame-gate scandal (whatever they knew at the time), there was almost no reaction, except on the Internet and some cable TV shows.
The Post and Times essentially ignored McClellan's statement, apparently buying into the later spin that Bush might not have known then that Libby and Rove were lying. Bush's right-wing apologists already are back on the attack, claiming that McClellan's back-tracking supports Bush's innocence.
The Democrats also don't seem to have the stomach to hold Bush accountable. One presidential hopeful, Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Connecticut, called for the Justice Department to investigate whether Bush had intentionally misled the public.
But the Democrats control both houses of Congress and presumably could compel testimony from many of the principals. They might even be able to force an explanation from special prosecutor Fitzgerald about why he didn't pursue a broader case and what Bush and Cheney told him during their interviews about the Plame leak.
Instead the Democrats appear frightened of the counter-attack that the right-wing media could unleash, especially when major mainstream publications like the Times show little interest in the story and others like the Post actually are helping Bush in his cover-up.
But the broader picture appears to be that George W. Bush is just the latest member of the Bush family who can skate away from nearly any wrongdoing without paying a price.

Thank you for the countertops at my salon. I can't say enough about how easy, quick, and professional everyone was to work with; plus the countertops look beautiful!!!
They were excellent. They did a follow-up call. The company owner of the company explained how they did their work. Very pleased.
From product selection to fabrication and installation, our experience with RISSCO was excellent. The staff was consistently helpful, knowledgeable, thorough, and professional. Their work was completed in a timely manner with high-quality results. We would not hesitate to engage RISSCO again, and we highly recommend them!
There are very few contractors that we can count on project after project. Rissco is in this minority as we can depend on the same quality and performance on every project. We simply won't use anyone else.
Thank you Liz- our Cambria countertop in master bath looks fantastic.
I was introduced to RISSCO approximately 8 years ago and have used their services since. All of the staff from Paul and Liz to the installers have been great to work with. They are very customer service oriented and understand the importance of my schedule. Their installers are meticulous and always review the details prior to the start of install to avoid any misunderstanding as well upon completion to ensure that I am pleased with the final product. Their same day template/install is a service that saves time and allows me to keep the job moving. I would recommend RISSCO without hesitation to any contractor/homeowner who wants the job done right and on time.
RISSCO did a fabulous job installing new countertops in our kitchen. Liz in the sales and estimates department was knowledgeable, professional, and patient in explaining options and in writing up the estimate. She did an excellent job of communicating by phone and e-mail, and in advocating for us with Dupont, the manufacturer, when there was a problem with the new Corian color we had picked for our counter. The gray "Stardust" pattern, a new color by Dupont, had a directional aspect to it like the weave of a carpet, which Dupont did not explain to RISSCO. When it was installed, the two pieces of the counter at the seam did not match up well. Liz helped us resolve the problem with Dupont, and the installers from RISSCO came back and re-installed a section of the counter at no cost to us. Don, the installer, was polite and friendly and did an excellent, careful job. The mobile-fab truck, where they fabricate the counters in your driveway, is also pretty cool. We love our new counters and sink and highly recommend RISSCO.

There were two main things that drew me to the set, the first being the fact that I had actually visited the Tower of Pisa years ago and the second was the way the tower actually leans, I really wanted to see how they did that. I like the way they created people around the base, obviously not very detailed but enough for you get the impression of a crowd and some idea of the scale as well.
I really like the way the set looks when it's finished but I would say it gets a bit repetitive when it comes to making the tower, the layers are very similar and there are two or different types of level that you have to build up. It is designed for ages 12 and up and I would definitely agree with this, if nothing else then the size of the pieces makes it a bit fiddly and can become frustrating when it comes to the smaller round pieces that seem to roll off and the clear pieces that go at the top disappear easily.
The size of these is even smaller than I realised, each of the dimensions is half that of a Lego piece so they end up looking 1/4 of the scale as you can see with the 1×1 Lego piece next to the 2×4 Nanoblock piece. Unfortunately they don't mix with the Lego, unlike with Lego and Duplo where the two sizes fit together the Lego pieces have too thick a border underneath for the Nanoblock to fit within it even with the same size pieces.
The instructions do take a bit of getting used to, at least for me, as it shows the layers building up and the layer beneath is greyed out so with this colour scheme it didn't stand out that much. Also the number of repetitive layers meant that when I left it to sort something out and returned I wasn't really sure what point I was at as you don't see the entire design like you do with Lego to count how many layers up you are.
As far as the 20-60 minutes building time I think that this one took me at the longer end of this scale, I did end up having a break in the middle as it got a bit much concentration but it is probably one of the larger sets within the 'Site to See' collection. Although some of the others appear more detailed.
In the end I do really like this model, mainly as a model itself as the design for this was a bit repetitive for me. I have done a Christmas themed one which was a lot easier and more fun to actually build because it built up with very different layers and more colours. I love the way it turned out with the lean but this is definitely one for someone who wants it as a model at the end, or who like to build detailed models and will enjoy the process more. I am definitely going to be buying more of these if they are within a reasonable price range.
I think if you like Lego it's possibly a more grown up version of that with all the detail and the more fiddly pieces but you do need more patience for it. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for children unless you know they really like these kinds of things and don't need the playability that things like Lego have at the end of the building process. It would make a nice gift for someone who likes travel and building things or some of the smaller sets like the animal or musical instrument ones, which are cheaper, would be nice stocking filler type gifts within a budget for people who like whatever the theme is.

After trial, Chapel Hill is still being impacted by Chandler Kania

By Doug Dubrowski
January 23, 2018 | 9:58pm EST
Two and a half years ago, a night that began with an underage student drinking at parties and bars ended in tragedy: a DWI crash that left three dead.
Chandler Kania was sentenced to a maximum of sixteen years and four months in prison for involuntary manslaughter and one count of reckless driving in October 2016. That said, the story continues to unfold as .
Settlements are still being reached among the parties involved in the wrongful death lawsuit.
Shawn Howard, the lawyer representing the victims' families, said claims against both UNC students who hosted the pre-game party Kania attended prior to drinking at La Residence and He's not Here had been resolved.
"Pursuant to our settlement agreements, the terms of those settlements are confidential," Howard said. "At the conclusion of the case, we are likely to be able to indicate the total settlement and/or verdict amounts received by the families of the victims."
Howard said the lawsuit is scheduled for trial in June 2018, and his efforts are currently focused on preparing his client and their case for trial against the remaining defendants.
"We have also settled claims with the insurers for the family of Chandler Kania and He's Not Here," Howard said. "There has been no settlement reached with La Residence or the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity."
Aaron Bachenheimer, executive director of community partnerships at the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life and Community Involvement, said there have been multiple programs and initiatives in fraternity and sorority life to manage drinking and safety.
"In my time working with fraternity and sorority life at UNC, since the 2010-2011 academic year, we've had a pretty strong focus on what I call 'risk-management and harm reduction,' overarching health, safety and wellness education."
He said the Office gathers as much information as possible about incidents that happen at the University or elsewhere but resists making changes to messaging and policies as a result of individual events.
Drawing upon a broader set of research helps the office to talk about benefits of reducing underage drinking in ways that reach beyond just the legal mandate, such as medical evidence that encourages students to delay drinking until later in their young adulthood.
"There's a lot of really good reasons why we talk about the 21-year-old drinking age, and often we don't always talk about it from a, 'it's the law' standpoint," Bachenheimer said. "A lot of the work we do, for example in our alcohol skills training program, is to talk about the research that indicates that the younger you drink, the more likely you are to have problems associated with alcohol."
The impact on Chapel Hill
The Kania case launched conversations about curbing underage drinking in bars and preventing drunk driving.
Pantana Bob's, a Chapel Hill bar not involved in the trial, has layers of defense against underage drinking.
Manager Corey LaPrade said the events causing the trial had little effect on their methods of preventing underage drinking at the bar, and they preferred to continue the strategies they felt had always been successful.
"We use the same thing we've always used, and I think it works – we use door guys. They check IDs at the door, then we check them again at the bar," LaPrade said.
Pantana Bob's also uses a system of wristbands to denote who is of legal age on top of a list used by patrons to sign their cars in with the ability to leave them in the parking lot overnight.
If Pantana Bob's employees notice anyone who may be in danger of driving under the influence, they generally ask how the patron is getting home that night, calling the police if necessary. However, LaPrade said his guests mostly travel on foot, which is typical in Chapel Hill.
This informs programs like the Ladder of Risk, which teaches fraternities and sororities ways to host parties while reducing the chance of harm. There's also the alcohol skills training program, which teaches students how alcohol affects the brain and how to prevent health issues if they choose to drink, he said.
Bachenheimer said the office aims to ensure all students have thoughtful methods to avoid health risks that come with drinking, including transportation and ways to check on their friends when they go home.
"People are going to try to get into bars – that's just a fact," LaPrade said.

D.C. Circuit Review – Reviewed: Circuit Justices
by Aaron Nielson — Friday, Oct. 19, 2018 — @Aaron_L_Nielson
This is a quick post — I'm traveling.
Here is a little known fact about Notice & Comment. For a while, we tried to find someone to write a D.C. Circuit Review–Reviewed-style column for the Ninth Circuit, which — like the D.C. Circuit — is also home to a great deal of administrative law. Alas, it seems that other folks have better sense than I do!* That roster spot remains unfilled.
My thoughts turned to the Ninth Circuit this week as I thought about "circuit justices." Every circuit has a justice assigned to it. The circuit justice reviews requests for extensions and motions for stays (although if a motion raises an important issue, it is almost always referred to the entire Court). The circuit justice also often attends the circuit conference, and in so doing hopefully strengthens the connection between the circuit and the Supreme Court.
As of yesterday, here is how the Justices were assigned:
As of today, here is the new list:
The big changes? Justice Kagan is now assigned the Ninth Circuit; Justice Kavanaugh is now assigned the Seventh Circuit; and Justice Sotomayor is now doing double duty as she is assigned both the Tenth Circuit and the Sixth Circuit.
This new assignment list prompts a question: Why not assign Justice Sotomayor or Justice Gorsuch to the Ninth Circuit?
When making assignments, the Supreme Court prioritizes natural connections. Thus, for instance, it is not by accident that Justice Thomas has the Eleventh Circuit, Justice Breyer has the First Circuit, and Justice Alito has the Third Circuit. Thomas and Alito are from those places, and Breyer used to be Chief Judge of the First Circuit. Nor, for the same reason, was it by accident that Justice Kennedy was assigned the Ninth Circuit; he is from California, and he also served on that court. Justice Kagan, moreover, is not from Chicago, but she did live there, so assigning her the Seventh Circuit isn't that much of a stretch.
But there are not always natural connections. For instance, for those of us in the Tenth Circuit, our circuit justice is Justice Sotomayor. Sotomayor, to her credit, works hard to do right by the Tenth Circuit. But she isn't from the Mountain West, nor did she serve on the Tenth Circuit. The more natural assignments would be Justice Gorsuch to the Tenth Circuit and Sotomayor to the Second Circuit. That hasn't happened yet — presumably because Justice Ginsburg is assigned to the Second Circuit. When she retires, it is likely that Sotomayor will shift to the Second Circuit, and Gorsuch will shift to the Tenth Circuit; at it is now, he has the Eighth Circuit. Similar to Sotomayor and the Tenth Circuit, I don't believe that Gorsuch has any natural connections to the Eighth Circuit.
So who should cover the Ninth Circuit? Justice Breyer would make sense — he's from California. But he already has the First Circuit, and his connections to that court, as noted, are significant. In theory, he could be assigned two circuits. But the Ninth Circuit isn't just another circuit — it is huge! Should Justice Kavanaugh handle the Ninth Circuit? Well, he did clerk there. And he knows administrative law. That said, Kavanaugh has not spent much time with immigration law, which is a significant chunk of the Ninth Circuit's administrative law docket. Likewise, the Ninth Circuit is a pretty hefty assignment for the newest justice. Thus, it seems to me that the most logical justice for the Ninth Circuit would either be Justice Sotomayor or Justice Gorsuch. Gorsuch is from the West and served on the Tenth Circuit for a long time. This matters because half of the Ninth Circuit (Montana, Nevada, Idaho, Arizona, and Alaska) is pretty similar to the Tenth Circuit. Alternatively, the Court could have shifted Justice Sotomayor to the Ninth Circuit, allowing Justice Gorsuch to pick up the Tenth, and Justice Kavanaugh to cover the Eighth. That way, at least Gorsuch would be circuit justice in his home circuit. By contrast, I don't see any connection between Justice Kagan and the Ninth Circuit, nor between Kavanaugh and the Seventh Circuit.
That said, perhaps I'm missing something …. Maybe I don't yet have a good feel for the Ninth Circuit. Accordingly, in the spirit of professionalism, I've decided to spend today with my family doing field work in the Ninth Circuit.
* It was a quiet week in the D.C. Circuit. The Court denied rehearing in Old Dominion Electric Coop. v. FERC, with a short explanation from Judge Katsas:
The D.C. Circuit also issued an opinion in Masias v. EPA. The opinion was penned by Judge Williams (joined by Judges Tatel and Millett) and it is a delight to read — which is saying something for a case about "National Ambient Air Quality Standards, or NAAQS." There are three main parts of this opinion (relating to three areas: "Wyandotte County, Kansas," "Gallia County, Ohio," and "Colorado Springs, Colorado"). Here is an excerpt from each discussion:
Wyandotte County
Gallia County
There is more in the opinion, obviously, about each of the three places. And if you follow environmental law, I encourage you to read the opinion in full. It is both interesting law and fun to read.

Great question about assignments, Aaron. A quibble, however, about your suggestion that Gorsuch would be more representative of the Ninth Circuit than Kagan because he's from Denver: The five states you mention–which I assume you mean are "pretty similar" to the states of the Tenth either in the sense that they're "red" or in the sense that they have lots of big, wide open spaces (and California, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii don't?)–are 20% of the Ninth (in terms of population), not half. And they only contain one-third of the district courts from which appeals go to the Ninth Circuit. Thus I don't see any way in which any of the Justices is more suited than any other to be Circuit Justice for the Ninth.

Great comment. To be clear, I wasn't aiming for red versus blue in terms of states. I meant in terms of types of cases — e.g., lots of public lands. Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Utah, for instance, are pretty similar when it comes to mining, grazing, etc. Idaho and Wyoming also share a lot of similarities, especially S.E. Idaho and S.W. Wyoming. But you are right — the differences shouldn't be overstated.


It was a straightforward easy process from beginning to end including good follow up and installation. The glass looks great!
They know their business and produce on time.
Great install. Appointment on time. Competitive price which was important for discretionary windshield.

Southern Co.: 'Weeks' before we'll know cost of Plant Vogtle expansion
Russell Grantham, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A Southern Co. executive told state regulators that it will likely be up to "several weeks" before it knows how much it will cost to complete its troubled Plant Vogtle expansion.
Since the late-March bankruptcy of the project's key contractor, Westinghouse Electric, Georgia Power, a subsidiary of Southern, has been spending about $50 million a month under an interim agreement with the contractor to keep work going at the plant near Augusta.
The interim agreement expires Friday, but David McKinney, Southern's vice president of nuclear development, told the Georgia Public Service Commission at a hearing Thursday that he was "not ready to say today" if it will be extended.
"You may see that interim agreement extended," said McKinney.
He said Southern and Georgia Power are still evaluating what to do, including whether to abandon the project, and how much it will cost to finish the Vogtle expansion.
The hearing was on Georgia Power's progress on the Vogtle expansion in the last half of 2016, when it spent $222 million on the project.
An army of about 6,000 workers are building two new reactors at Vogtle, but the job is well over $3 billion over budget and more than three years behind schedule.
Georgia Power officials said the project slipped at least four months farther behind schedule in the second half of 2016, and has fallen farther behind this year.
Partly because of Westinghouse's bankruptcy, the utility's executives told the PSC they no longer expect to be able to finish the reactors by the end of 2020 — the latest deadline set last year under a settlement between the agency and Georgia Power.
The project is being bankrolled by more than $8 billion in federal loans and loan guarantees, as well as nearly $2 billion paid through "financing" surcharges that add about $100 a year to residential customers' bills.
Critics used Thursday's hearing to express their anger over Vogtle's costly troubles. Several urged the PSC to pull the plug on the project, arguing that the units aren't needed because electricity demand in Georgia hasn't grown over the past decade.
"I am angry," said Atlanta resident Barbara Antonoplos. She said it's "absurd" that the PSC says it didn't see Westinghouse's bankruptcy coming.
In the recent settlement a few months before Westinghouse's bankruptcy, she added, the PSC "approved as prudent every penny of the billions that have been spent" on Vogtle, and even more for future spending.
"No one now can deny that this is a very big mess," said Robert Searfoss, of Atlanta. He said it's also unfair that older customers have been paying for a project for years and may never get any benefit from it.
"I'm an elderly customer caught in the Vogtle vortex," he said. "

Q: How do I stop iTunes complaining about compatibility mode in Windows 7 even when it is already switched off? Since the iTunes 9.0.2.25 update (or thereabouts) on Windows 7 (32-bit) build 7100 I get the following message every time I start iTunes:

iTunes
iTunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility
  mode for an older version of Windows.
  For best results, turn off
  compatibility mode for iTunes before
  you open it.

I have checked C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe and compatibility mode is disabled, and I get the message even if I run it directly from there.
How do I get rid of the message?

A: FOUND THE ANSWER and works 100% ! Windows 7 64 bit
You can read about it here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10397771#10397771
Or if you don't want to open that and take a look just do this:
Locate:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
in your regedit
and delete the itunes.exe entry.!

A: You said the compatibility mode is turned off for the .exe itself, but is it turned off for the shortcut you're using to open iTunes? Right-click the shortcut and go to Properties to check.

DR Congo. Bl. Marie-Clémentine Anuarite Nengapeta
Anuarite was born in Wamba (D.R. Congo) on December 29, 1939. She belonged to the Wabudu tribe. Anuarite's baptism name was Alphonsine. The name Nengapeta signifies "riches deceive." Anuarite, means "one who laughs at war."
Anuarite was a sensitive child. After school she loved to help her grandmother with her work. Even as a young girl, Anuarite aspired to be a nun and inspired the same desire in her friends. She admired the nuns in her village and wanted to follow in their footsteps. Sister Ndakala Marie-Anne, her third year teacher, remained a spiritual mother for her.
At first Anuarite's mother was against her desire to become a nun. But Anuarite was not easily discouraged and, on her own initiative, requested to be admitted to the convent. Nevertheless, the sisters refused to take her because she was too young at the time.
One day, a truck arrived at the mission to take the postulants to the convent at Bafwabaka and Anuarite seized the opportunity to climb aboard, unseen. Her mother looked for her for several days only to discover her whereabouts from one of the village children. Even though Anuarite had run away, her mother did not demand that she return home.
Anuarite remains in the convent. On August 5, 1959, she took her vows and became Sister Marie-Clémentine. Her parents were present at the ceremony and gave two goats as presents to the nuns to show how proud they were that their daughter was consecrating herself to God.
In her life at the convent, Anuarite devoted herself to serving others and to making them happy. She would even tackle the chores that others avoided. Nevertheless, sometimes she would openly scold those who had shirked the work.
In 1964, the Mulele rebellion broke out and in the space of a few weeks it occupied most of the country. The Simba rebels opposed westerners but also indigenous monks and nuns because they suspected them of being in co-hoots with foreigners.
On November 29, 1964, they arrived at the Bafwabaka convent and loaded all 46 nuns onto a truck to take them to Wamba. The move was for security reasons, the nuns were told. Nevertheless, the truck changed direction and went to Isiro where the nuns were taken to Colonel Yuma Déo's house.
That night, all the sisters except for Anuarite were moved again, this time to a nearby house called "the blue house." One of the Simba leaders, Colonel Ngalo, with the help of a soldier named Sigbande, tried to convince Anuarite to be his wife. She categorically and repeatedly refused, even after the furious soldiers isolated her and threatened her with death. Mother Léontine attempted to defend her but in vain.
Meanwhile, the other nuns in the blue house refused to eat without the presence of their mother superior. Colonel Pierre Olombe brought along sisters Banakweni and Marie-Lucie, to report the situation to Colonel Ngalo who asked for his help in seducing Anuarite. Sure of his success, Olombe accepted.
At supper time, Anuarite shared a dish of rice and sardines with Mother Xavéria but could not eat much. She warned her sisters not to drink the beer provided by the Simbas because they were in mortal peril.
Later that night, Colonel Olombe, with a group of Simbas, sent the nuns to bed, allowing them to sleep in one room as long as Anuarite remained behind. Very troubled and anxious, Anuarite asked the mother superior to pray for her. Olombe again pressured her to yield to Ngalo's request. Then he changed his mind and decided he wanted Anuarite for himself. When she categorically refused, he hurled insults at her but she remained defiant.
Then the colonel forced Anuarite and Sister Bokuma Jean-Baptiste – whom he wanted for himself -into a car. Anuarite, followed by Sister Jean-Baptiste, attempted an escape while Olombe went to get the car keys in the house. Unfortunately he caught them and a fierce struggle ensued. Mother Léontine and Mother Mélanie, who were witnessing the scene, implored the colonel to have pity on the two nuns. But the colonel was furious and silenced them.
Colonel Olombe then began mercilessly beating the two nuns. Sister Jean-Baptiste fainted, her right arm broken in three places, but Anuarite continued to resist courageously, saying she would rather die than commit this sin. Her words only heightened Olombe's fury.
Between the blows, Anuarite had the strength to say: "I forgive you for you know not what you are doing." In a new fit of rage, Olombe called some Simbas over and ordered them to stab Anuarite with their bayonets. After they had done this several times, Olombe took his revolver and shot her in the chest.
The colonel then seemed to calm down a bit and ordered the nuns to come and take away her body. Still breathing feebly, Anuarite lingered on for a few more minutes before dying at about one o'clock in the morning on December 1, 1964.
Anuarite was buried in a common grave along with other prisoners executed by the Simbas. Nevertheless, eight months later, her body was disinterred and buried in the cemetery near the Isiro cathedral. She was beatified on August 15, 1985 by Pope John Paul II during his visit to Africa.

Saboteur All Study Guides Homework Help Lesson Plans

What is the imagery of "The Saboteur"?
"What is the imagery of "The Saboteur"?" eNotes Editorial, 28 Oct. 2017, https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-imagery-saboteur-1080751. Accessed 28 Jan. 2023.
writer1010
In literature, imagery is a literary device that appeals to the audience's senses. In the short story "Saboteur", Ha Jin primarily uses food imagery to convey a message about Mr. Chiu, the saboteur. The story opens with a scene in which Mr. Chiu is having a lunch of "rice and sautéed cucumbers with pork" with his young bride at a restaurant on a busy square before Muji Train Station. Mr. Chiu orders his wife to begin her meal while he breaks "the connected ends of the chopsticks." This imagery of the breaking chopsticks calls attention to the strained relationship between him and his wife and their imminent separation. Similarly, the first two sentences of the third paragraph suggest that something is amiss between Mr. Chiu and his wife:
The air smelled of rotten melon. A few flies kept buzzing above the couple's lunch.
As the story continues, the reader learns that this imagery of decay (smell of rotten melons, buzzing flies) not only signifies the couple's relationship but also Mr. Chiu himself. After an argument with two police officers sitting at a nearby table, Mr. Chiu is arrested and accused of being a saboteur. He is held at a prison, and while he is upset about being held captive and unjustly accused, one of the first things he notices is the sound of "a cleaver chopping rhythmically somewhere in the building." By this time, it has become clear that Mr. Chiu is associated with imagery of food and gluttony, and it is suggested in the end that Mr. Chiu would rather sign a false confession to get released and be able to eat than stand up against political injustice. He hence sabotages himself—and by extension, society—by satisfying his physical needs rather than standing up for what is right.

We were not good enough and we have to apologise for it, asserts Mikel Arteta
Arsenal lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest
In light of Arsenal's loss to Nottingham Forest, Mikel Arteta has hit out at his team and admitted that they were not good enough and did not meet the standards that were required of them. The North Londoners faced Forest in the third round of the FA Cup and lost to a late goal from Lewis Grabban.
When Arsenal were drawn with Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup, many fans feared a repeat of the infamous defeat nearly four years ago. It was the first time Arsene Wenger was knocked out of the FA Cup in the third round with Forest, on that occasion, beating the Premier League side 4-2. Things didn't change this time around and while Mikel Arteta did rotate his squad, the core of his first-team still remained.
Yet the Gunners lost 1-0 with a late Lewis Grabban strike proving to be the only difference between the two teams in the end. It saw Mikel Arteta hit out at his team as he admitted that they were not good enough against the Championship side and that they need to apologise for the loss. The Arsenal boss also added that the team didn't put enough in the game and didn't show the levels required from them.
"We were not good enough and we have to apologise for it. I don't want to use excuses, I expect the team I put out to do better and when you don't in the cup you are out. Today showed we were not capable of winning against Forest away from home and didn't put in the level to win the game," Arteta said, reported Sky Sports.
"It's a collective issue and today we have not done it. What we have done today is nowhere near the level and standards that are required."
The Gunners dominated the ball but yet somehow failed to threaten the Nottingham Forest goal with zero shots on goal although Eddie Nketiah did miss the target with their best chance. However, Forest made their chances pay and caused problems for Arsenal the entire game, which saw Mikel Arteta admit that they needed more drive and hunger to win the game. He also added that it's a complicated match and Arsenal didn't respond in the like.
"We needed more drive, more hunger to win at any cost in every single action, much more. We were not at our level. I'm really disappointed with the performance, first of all. Not with the attitude but how much purpose we have and what determination we showed to change the game when it's difficult to play against and the way they play.
"I have played in games like that for the last 18 years and I know how complicated it is to come here and it's no surprise the difficulties you are going to face. But when we do that, we have to face it in a different way. It is really hurting. It is a competition that is very related to our history and to get out of it is a big bump," he added.


You have so much perspective! Sounds like an adventure … Plus it made for some pretty adorable couples pictures. You need to blow those up for your home!
We definitely have a few scattered throughout the house!

Dow Finsterwald, 1958 PGA champion, dies at age 93
Dow Finsterwald became a footnote in history as the first player to win the PGA Championship in stroke play and the last U.S. captain of a Ryder Cup before continental Europe was invited to join.
More than a major champion and Ryder Cup player, he devoted his life to golf as the longtime professional at The Broadmoor in Colorado.
Finsterwald, a 12-time winner on the PGA Tour, died Friday night at his home in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was 93. His son, Dow Finsterwald Jr., said he died peacefully in his sleep.
"He did all he could for the game," said his son, the head professional at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. "He enjoyed his friends and they always remembered. He loved the rules and he cared about the game. He had a wonderful life and he felt like for sure it was complete."
Dow Finsterwald, 1958 PGA champion, dies at 93
Finsterwald was born in Athens, Ohio, and played college golf at Ohio University. One of his earliest matches was against Arnold Palmer at Wake Forest, and they became best friends until Palmer's death in 2016. Finsterwald spent his winters at Palmer's Bay Hill Club and Lodge.
"He (shot) 29 the first round we played together, so I didn't have much luck there," Finsterwald once said.
Palmer came along as golf was being shown on television. That was a big reason why the PGA Championship decided to switch from match play to stroke play in 1958.
Finsterwald lost in the championship match in 1957 to Lionel Hebert. The following year at Llanerch Country Club in Pennsylvania, Finsterwald was two shots behind Sam Snead going into the final round when he closed with a 67 and won by two over Billy Casper.
"It certainly made a big impact on my life and certain things were made available because of winning that championship," Finsterwald said at Oakland Hills in 2008 on the 50-year anniversary of his win. "But as important as it was to me — and believe me, it has been very important — it was a major step for the PGA of America to go from match play to stroke play."
"It certainly was a little extra there in that I had been the runner-up in the finals of the last match play. So I guess I'm a little prejudiced about stroke play," he said. "But it was the logical thing to do and the time to do it."
Finsterwald was the PGA player of the year in 1958 and he won the Vardon Trophy for the lowest scoring average in 1957. He also played on four Ryder Cup teams, going 9-3-1. He was the captain of the 1977 U.S. team that featured Ryder Cup rookies like Tom Watson and Lanny Wadkins.
The U.S. won easily, and it was at that Ryder Cup at Royal Lytham & St. Annes that Jack Nicklaus suggested stronger competition because the Americans were winning with regularity. The Britain & Ireland team was then expanded to include continental Europe.
Finsterwald's last win was the 500 Festival Open Invitation in Indianapolis. He also made 72 consecutive cuts, a remarkable feat from his era because it was not measured on a 36-hole cut but being among the top 25 or so finishers who were paid from the prize fund.
Finsterwald became the head pro at The Broadmoor in 1963 and kept the position for 28 years.

I've just returned from a wonderful trip to Greece and Turkey where I sailed from Athens to Istanbul aboard Windstar Cruises. I also spent a few days in Athens and Istanbul before and after the cruise. I traveled with another lady and being single females, new to these countries, we weren't sure what to expect.
Shortly after checking in to our hotel in Athens. This is the rooftop terrace at our hotel. We were not prepared for the iconic view or being able able to hear the concert performing at the Herodes Atticus open air theatre, outside the Acropolis.
It was a pleasant surprise. As is often the case, what you see on the news, does not accurately depict everyday life in these countries, particularly from a tourist perspective. Everywhere we went, we experienced graciousness, hospitality and unparalleled service. Both the Greeks and Turks made every effort to speak English where possible. Their nature is to want to help and assist. We were in Athens while there were peaceful demonstrations in front of government buildings. We never felt unsafe. In spite of their economic problems, the Greeks are very united and passionate in their love for their country.
This photo was taken on Istiklal, the well-known pedestrian street in Istabul.
One particular advantage we were grateful for in our travels, was confirming private transfers and private tours before leaving home. Arriving at airports and hotels in a foreign country can bring challenges, so it was nice to have someone lead the way, negotiating the shortcuts, all the while, providing commentary along the way. At busy historic monuments, I knew the guide was worth his weight in gold when he lead us past long line ups, handed us our entrance tickets and escorted us through the venue entrance.
My favourite dream location in Santorini.
At the airport, we were met by someone holding a sign with our name on it. The transfers were non-stop and drop service. In each city, the guide ensured our check in went smoothly and that we didn't have any further questions before leaving us. Upon return to the airport, the guide came in, handling the majority of the luggage, leading us to the check-in ticket counter and accompanying us through the first part of security, to the point where a passport was required. I actually felt rather 'spoiled' at the 'airport'; those words seem like an oxymoron. Never have I sailed through airport check-in and security with such relaxed ease, I knew my guide had everything under control!!

Jessica DiCicco, a graduate of Syracuse University, is the voice behind Flame Princess on the animated TV show "Adventure Time."
The Adventures of Jessica DiCicco
By Paige Cooperstein
DJ, actress, music video director and voice of Flame Princess on the hit animated TV series, 'Adventure Time': Jessica DiCicco is doing it all, and she's only getting started.
"Flame Princess! Flame Princess! Flame Princess!"
A crowd of people wearing fiery-colored dresses, red wigs, cat-eared hoods and green backpacks suddenly rushed the stage as Jessica DiCicco was deejaying.
For DiCicco, a television, radio and film graduate of Syracuse University, this was becoming normal. DiCicco—who juggles careers as a voice actor, one half of a DJ duo and most recently a music video director—has become famous for a handful of episodes of Adventure Time, a hit show on Cartoon Network. She voices Flame Princess, a feisty new addition to the animated series about a boy, his magical dog and their adventures in the Land of Ooo. Heavy on fart jokes and big-hearted homages to video game and comic book culture, Adventure Time has cultivated legions of devoted fans since it debuted in 2010

A still featuring Finn and the Flame Princess from an episode of Adventure Time.
"There's a huge amount of Adventure Time community," DiCicco said, noting fans who like to dress up as their favorite characters and attend conventions. "It's great because I get to geek out with them."
DiCicco's twitter feed (@jessicadicicco) gives away just how much she enjoys the show. Her tweets are littered with Adventure Time hashtags and behind-the-scenes photos from her life as a voice actor; she recently tweeted a picture of her new manicure featuring an Adventure Time character on each nail.
"When I feel the excitement surrounding Adventure Time, it reminds me of Simpsons mania, which I lived through and loved, where every street corner had Simpsons T-shirts and things," DiCicco said.
She ran that theory by the Cartoon God himself, Matt Groening. She met The Simpsons creator in February while presenting at the Annie Awards, animation's highest honor.
"Matt totally agreed with me," DiCicco said. "He said he was a huge Adventure Time fan, and then told me a story about Pen Ward, the Adventure Time creator, coming over to his house and drawing."
Ward's mother was friendly with Groening and arranged a drawing tutorial for Ward, who also spent that afternoon playing video games with Groening's son.
Soon after, Ward brought Kent Osborne, writer and storyboard artist for animated shows like Spongbob Squarepants, with him to the Adventure Time writers' room. The two had worked together on another irreverent animated series, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, and Osborne soon became a head writer for Adventure Time and started directing the voice actors on the show.
From a road trip stop in Austin, Texas, where he enjoyed an event featuring independent video game developers, Osborne took some time to chat about DiCicco.
He said it's so easy to write for DiCicco, he feels almost like it's cheating. "I can hear her voice in my head when I write Flame Princess," Osborne said. "I can't imagine someone else playing her."
"People try to do these really crazy voices for animation, so if the line's, 'Hey, how's it going?' they'll go, 'Heeeeeeeey!! How's it gooooing?!' They try to be funny. But Jess's reads are always super sincere."
Osborne remembered one episode where Finn and Jake, the boy and his magical dog, are making fart jokes. Flame Princess, who's feeling homesick after running away, has to say, "Your magic air is making me sad."
"Jess played it so straight, it was making everyone laugh," Osborne said.
Fun in the sound booth
Unlike many animated projects, Adventure Time records with the full cast of each episode. "We're basically in a fish bowl," DiCicco said of the sound booth. "Everyone sits close around each other in these big comfy chairs with their own mics."
Once one person starts cracking up, it quickly spreads to the rest of the cast. They had to start and stop the scene around DiCicco's "magic air" line three times before they could get over the giggles.
Lucas Grabeel, of High School Musical and Switched at Birth fame, got to know DiCicco in 30-second bursts in a shared sound booth. That was the time they had while technicians listened to their first takes in an upcoming Disney Junior musical series called Sheriff Callie's Wild West.
"There's gobs and gobs of downtime in film to set up lights or move the cameras," Grabeel said. But in animation, it's different. "We start a conversation, then suddenly they say, 'OK, line 123 again.' So we immediately put a pause on the conversation and then pick it up again in the next break."
Grabeel and DiCicco met while voicing a woodpecker deputy (Grabeel) and a 9-year-old male cactus (DiCicco) in Sheriff Callie's Wild West. They also voice a group of prairie dogs that serve as a Greek chorus.
"It was absolutely hilarious and adorable to watch Jess's transformation," Grabeel said. "She did the cutest voice. I kept laughing and ruining takes. We have a lot of laughs together when we're working."
The Disney Junior series is Grabeel's first job as a regular on an animated show.
"Jess is an old pro, so she shows me the ropes," Grabeel said, adding, "She's a great gal."
Born in Los Angeles as the oldest of two daughters, DiCicco moved with her family to New York City as a young girl and has enjoyed a prolific career ever since. When she was nine, Francis Ford Coppola cast DiCicco in The Godfather Part III as an unnamed child. At 15 she photographed a cover story for New York Magazine about prep school gangsters, and by the time she enrolled in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Nickelodeon hired her as the voice of the Noggin network. Her series, Quarter Life Crisis, won the Gordon J. Alderman Award for excellence in creative broadcasting while she was at Syracuse.
After graduation, DiCicco moved to L.A. to produce television. DiCicco worked for a reality television show and auditioned for voice acting work on the side until her animation career took over. She booked four pilots and lent her voice to five animated shows during her first season auditioning.
"The bulk of my work is in L.A.," DiCicco said. "I do love it, but I have to say, my heart's in New York. I'm a New York City girl through and through. There's that corny saying, 'If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere,' but I absolutely identify with that."
DiCicco's parents still live in New York City and she said she enjoys visiting them. She stays in her high school bedroom, which she left intact, and describes coming home as, "jumping through one of those green warp tunnels in the Mario games."
It's a happy pull of nostalgia for the successful actress, who says she likes being around her family because they share the same sense of humor. They also share an understanding of the entertainment industry. Her father, Bobby DiCicco, was a popular actor, and her sister Katie is a singer and songwriter working in New York City and Los Angeles.
Doing it all
In DiCicco's latest project, a music video for the rapper Kovas, an MTV artist to watch, DiCicco had an adventure. She got some of her industry buddies together to shoot the video for Kovas's "Ice Cream."
"Andy Milonakis was there, the evil kid from High School Musical was there. Talk about Hollywood star cameos," Osborne said. "I got into a chicken or maybe a bear costume and jumped right in!"
Grabeel described the video as a hard-core rap video with a comic twist. He gave the camera the middle finger during his cameo.
"As the director, Jess was the head honcho," Grabeel said. "It was exciting to watch her own that in the same way she owns her acting."
Osborne said he was also impressed with DiCicco's professionalism while keeping things fun on set.
Somehow, with her busy schedule, DiCicco has already directed a second music video, "Thank You" by Master Shortie featuring Leaf and The Cataracs, which went live last Tuesday.
"I can one hundred percent do it all," DiCicco said. "I've always been the type to have a bunch of things going on. I don't know why that would change now."

Q: Issues with page fullscreen backgrounds when loading page in a new tab (not in focus) Couldn't really work out what to search for to find a solution to this issue so apologies if it's a duplicate.
I've got an issue where my fullscreen background banner doesn't load property if the page is allowed to load in a browser tab that isn't in focus. It's appears to only happen in Google Chrome.
The end result is that the background image is the size of the viewport, but doesn't cover the whole document - i.e. it leaves a white gap at the bottom.
I tried to setup a fiddle, but it doesn't really replicate the issue due to it not happening in a frame, the site is a local staging env so unfortunately I don't have a link to share.
UPDATE:
After playing some more, it would appear that the CSS needs a refresh to fix the issue. Basically if I make any change to the CSS of the container it will automatically fix the white space. However, if I add new CSS to an element inline that DOES NOT fix the issue. Modifying the CSS in any way with javascript also doesn't cause it to fix.
I wonder if there's some kind of callback I can issue if the page is switched to from a different tab?

Malaysia Airlines staff board a flight prior to departure at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang, May 14, 2014. (Manan Vatsyayana/AFP/Getty Images)
Missing Plane Found? Nope, but Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah's Sister Gives First Interview
Sakinab Ahmad Shah says pilot wasn't behind plane's disappearance
By Jack Phillips
The sister of the pilot of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 gave her first interview regarding allegations that her brother, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, was behind the plane's disappearance.
It's the first interview his sister, Sakinab Ahmad Shah, has given in the four months since the plane went missing. The flight had 239 people on board and was heading from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8.
A special from Channel News Asia features her interview, and she says that her brother was not responsible for the plane going missing.
"If it was done, if he was the one who planned it, he has to be some kind of Einstein, which he was not," she said. "We couldn't figure out why somebody who would want to commit suicide would prolong the agony of flying for four, five, six hours just to land down there."
In previous reports, investigators reportedly found a flight simulation program on Zaharie Shah's computer. They recovered deleted files, which showed a flight route to an island with a small runway out in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
His sister added: "He was just a man who took so much to aviation. He loved aviation, he spent a lot of his funds buying model airplanes. If he could, I think he would attach wings to himself and fly – he loved flying that much."
Other reports said Zaharie Shah had not social or professional engagements after March 8–in contrast to other staff members on board the plane.
The plane is said to have crashed somewhere in the southern Indian Ocean, but no sign of the aircraft has been found four months later. The plane may have suffered a power outage, which some aviation experts say was an attempt to hijack the aircraft to avoid being spotted on radar.
Data shows the plane kept flying about six hours after it disappeared from radar.
About a month ago, it was reported that the search for the missing plane will move southwest of the previous search area in the Indian Ocean.
According to The New York Times, the new search is based on a series of "handshakes" made between the plane and an Inmarsat-owned satellite. The data suggests the plane turned south over the Indian Ocean north of the northernmost tip of Indonesia's Sumatra.
"We're going to have to go deep and do a comprehensive look at the ocean floor," Angus Houston, the head of the Australian search mission, told the Times. "The handshakes are the most robust information we have at the moment," he added.
The head of Inmarsat, Chris McLaughlin, has said he doesn't blame searchers for looking in the area in April
"The Inmarsat model indicated a more southerly reach for MH370 than the earlier pickup of pings appeared to suggest," McLaughlin told the Times. "Four other independent analyses of the data," conducted by experts at Boeing, the French electronics group Thales and investigators in Australia and Malaysia, "have also indicated a more southerly position, closer to the seventh arc" calculated from the final signal Inmarsat's satellite received from the plane, he said.

Q: String Literal As Template Argument These preprocessor and template limitations of c++ are killing me.
The goal is to convert string literals into integers.
template<const char* str>
inline int LiteralToInt(){
    return __COUNTER__;
}

using std::cout;

int main(){
    cout << LiteralToInt<"Hello">();
    cout << LiteralToInt<"No">();
    cout << LiteralToInt<"Hello">();
    return 0;
}

The output would be 010 if templates accepted string literals. Is there another way to get this output and convert string literals to integers at compile time?

A: Yes, C++ 11's constexpr will do this for you:
 constexpr int LiteralToInt(const char * str) {
      return __COUNTER__; // or whatever.
 }

A: Something like this would work
extern const char HELLO[] = "Hello";

and then
cout << LiteralToInt<HELLO>();

but not the literal itself. This is probably not what you want.
String literals themselves, as you already discovered, cannot be used as template arguments.

A: A little bit of thinking about Richard J Ross III's answer using constexpr gave me the right key to search with... What you're essentially doing is hashing a string at compile time. You can do this in C++11 (but not earlier versions) as shown here.
The basic idea is to use something like this:
unsigned int constexpr const_hash(char const *input) {
    // really simple hash function...
    return static_cast<unsigned int>(*input)
         && static_cast<unsigned int>(*input) + hash(input+1);
}

But you probably want to use a hash function with more robust properties than this...
However if you're not using C++11 then my earlier statement holds:
No - there is no way to convert string literals to integers at compile time, in such a way that all of the same strings map to same values, (and different strings map to different values) across all compilation units, short of processing the code in some way.

A: Unfortunately, I know of no way to do exactly what you want.
Are there any restrictions you can put on the strings? Like number of characters? If you can limit it to 1-8 characters, you can do something like this:
template <char Ch1, char Ch2 = '\0', char Ch3 = '\0', char Ch4 = '\0', char Ch5 = '\0', char Ch6 = '\0', char Ch7 = '\0', char Ch8 = '\0'>
struct string_hash {
    static const uint64_t value =
        (static_cast<uint64_t>(Ch1) << 56) |
        (static_cast<uint64_t>(Ch2) << 48) |
        (static_cast<uint64_t>(Ch3) << 40) |
        (static_cast<uint64_t>(Ch4) << 32) |
        (static_cast<uint64_t>(Ch5) << 24) |
        (static_cast<uint64_t>(Ch6) << 16) |
        (static_cast<uint64_t>(Ch7) << 8)  |
        (Ch8);
};

which basically, at compile time stuff up to 8 characters into a uint64_t. Usage would look like this:
const uint64_t x = string_hash<'T', 'e', 's', 't'>::value

This will create a compile time numeric value (can be used in a switch and all that goodness) unique to each string 1-8 chars long. Unfortunately, the only big downside is that you can't write it as a string literal, you need to write it as a list of chars
