Altered Cartoon Causing a Stir in Trenton
From The Trentonian,
Original cartoon by Brian Fairrington
It's not the first time a politician was upset about a political cartoon.
But at-large councilman Jerell Blakeley said he felt an editorial satire that appeared on a local Facebook group went too far by calling for his assassination during a taut time in city politics.

Amnesty strips Alexei Navalny of 'prisoner of conscience' status
From the BBC.
A spokesman for the human rights organisation in Moscow told the BBC that he believed the wave of requests to "de-list" Navalny was part of an "orchestrated campaign" to discredit Vladimir Putin's most vocal critic and "impede" Amnesty's calls for his release from custody.
But on review, Amnesty International concluded that comments made by Navalny some 15 years ago, including a video which appears to compare immigrants to cockroaches, amounted to "hate speech" which was incompatible with the label "prisoner of conscience".

Six Dr. Seuss books pulled from publication (updated)
From The National Post.
Six children's books written by Dr. Seuss decades ago were pulled from publication because they contain racist and insensitive imagery, the company formed to preserve the deceased author's legacy said on Tuesday.
The books – "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street," "If I Ran the Zoo," "McElligot's Pool," "On Beyond Zebra!" "Scrambled Eggs Super!" and "The Cat's Quizzer" – are among more than 60 books written by Dr. Seuss, the pen name of the American writer and illustrator Theodor Geisel, who died in 1991.

Loved making this cake and cookie combo for a sweet little girl who turned 6 this past weekend…her party theme was Disney Descendants.
I must admit I didn't know much about the Descendants movie and characters until I did a Descendants cake for Gianna last year .
Arianna's cake was a 2-layer, 10″ square sour cream vanilla and double chocolate cake, iced with vanilla bean buttercream. The details are a combo of homemade marshmallow fondant and royal icing.
I piped the heart, crown and Maleficent horns onto waxed paper and let them dry overnight, then transferred them to the iced cake….it was infinitely easier than cutting those small details out of fondant… The lettering , mirror, and apple were hand cut from fondant.
They are very similar to the cookies I made for a Cardinal Mooney grad last year….
Congrats to all the graduates out there…you've worked hard for this, ENJOY!

Yet, even now, Democrats are trying to keep a provision providing a "slush fund" for the left-wing group ACORN. Shouldn't any money brought into the Treasury go to pay down the debt incurred for this multi-billion dollar bill? Or maybe, if we're so lucky, to return some to taxpayers?
Don't the Democrats realize that adding on this bailout to the deficit will only increase the size of the deficit? Â And they still want to fund their pet projects?
And Democrats keep sending in more negotiators than originally agreed upon. Seems Charles Schumer just doesn't want to be left out. According to Jennifer Rubin: Treasury Secretary Henry "Paulson actually called [Senate Majority Leader] Reid to ask why there were so many Senate Democrats in there instead of just Dodd and the other 3 principals. Amazingly, Reid told Paulson he couldn't control them." Schumer and the ethically-challenged Charles Rangel are among the Democrats barging in. Seems House members don't want to be left out either.
John McCain has played a considerable behind-the-scenes role in helping House Republicans air their concerns and make this proposal more fiscally sound. For more on his efforts read these two pieces.
I wonder if the media will take note of his efforts — and highlight Reid's flip-flops, demanding John McCain come to Washington one day, then when the Republican nominee decided to do just that, telling him he wasn't welcome.
UPDATE: Seems they've reached a deal. Let's hope there's no ACORN "slush fund" included. Â Maybe they asked the interlopers to exit the negotiations.
Posted by GayPatriotWest at 10:45 pm - September 27, 2008.
When discussing with friends McCain's campaign blunders in the week of September 15, I took note of his big errors, saying the "fundamentals of the economy were strong" (even though the rest of the sentence made clear he was aware of problems),* not immediately pointing his past efforts to promote reform, vowing to fire SEC Chairman Chairman Chris Cox and vowing later to replace him with Andrew Cuomo.
The Securities and Exchange Commission missed "numerous potential red flags" leading up to the shotgun sale of Bear Stearns Cos., and failed to require the investment bank to rein in its risk taking, according to a scathing report from the agency's inspector general. Inspector General David Kotz said it is "undisputable" that the SEC "failed to carry out its mission in its oversight of Bear Stearns." Bear Stearns, one of the most aggressive investment banks, agreed to be sold to J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. in March after the firm's clients fled and it was running out of cash.
Whatever Cox's merits as a Congressman (and he had many), he does not seem to have brought them to the SEC. Â Just as McCain was right on the need to reform Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, it appears he was right to call for Cox's dismissal. Â I wonder if the MSM will take notice.
*Had he said this as president and not candidate, it would have been more defensible, saying it so as not to cause panic.
Posted by GayPatriotWest at 7:39 pm - September 27, 2008.
You know how upset Democrats (& their allies in the media) get when they claim that a Republican called Democrat unpatriotic, even when they have to twist the Republican's remark to level that accusation?
Well, now we have a leading Democrat, no less than the House Speaker calling her Republican colleagues "unpatriotic." Â I'm just waiting for the usual sources to take Nancy Pelosi to task.

As of Saturday morning, most of Charlotte-area gas stations still have plastic bags over their pumps and gas hunting cars zipping in, around, and out of their parking lots. WBT-AM reports than only 7 of 80 gas stations surveyed in the Charlotte metro area have gasoline this morning.
Many parts of the Southeast are in a Gas Shortage Crisis, and the National Mainstream Media continues to ignore it.
Anderson Cooper…. where are you, man?
It appears to be more of the same at gas stations across the Charlotte metro region, with only a fraction of stations selling fuel and long lines forming — despite promises that shipments of gas are on the way.
Lines began forming in the pre-dawn hours Saturday at a number of stations in the Charlotte area.
But officials from AAA Carolinas, government leaders and gasoline distributors say the tanker trucks are coming. A large shipment of fuel was reported to have been sent to Charlotte on Friday. However, some of those experts warned that the shortage won't end quickly.
This week's shortage is a result of hurricanes Ike and Gustav, which hit the Gulf Coast earlier this month, disrupting refinery production. Refineries had enough fuel in reserve to stock Southeastern pumps for about a week, but many stations ran out before the refineries could resume full production.
Four of the 17 Houston-area refineries remain closed, with most others in partial or full operation, AAA said.
Charlotte isn't the only place grappling with a short gas supply, though the area saw the most serious disruptions in the state, with little or no shortages reported in eastern North Carolina, Crosby said. Stations were running out of fuel this week in Florida, Tennessee, Virginia and elsewhere, with the Atlanta area feeling particular pressure, the Associated Press reported.
Just this morning, I canvassed five gas stations in the South Charlotte area and all still had dry fuel tanks. I'm staying home now until I know for sure there will be gas somewhere. I'm running on fumes.
Remember folks, Charlotte is now the 20th largest city in the USA, the 2nd largest banking center in the USA (sorry, San Francisco)Â and North Carolina is the 10th largest state by population in the USA (sorry, New Jersey).
So where is the media focus and questions that a similar crisis in New York or Washington, DC would have attracted as soon as it started?
And Senator McCain — you'd be VERY wise to have you or Sarah come to Charlotte and talk about Energy Independence. You would be very popular right now with that message!
UPDATE: 1:30pm – Finally got gas at my local place. The tanker truck was still there as I pulled up. The wait was shorter than I expected — about 20 minutes. Unlike reports from other parts of Charlotte, my fellow gas-starved residents were orderly and no fights broke out. In fact, there were a couple pumps open for a few minutes — unlike last night when people were cutting each other off and getting into accidents to get to any open pump.

The world has lost one of the greatest actors of the last half-century. Paul Newman "who personified cool . . died Friday after a long battle with cancer at his farmhouse near Westport," Connecticut. It says as much about the man as anything that, like Katharine Hepburn, he died where he lived — far from Hollywood.
While he starred in numerous box-office hits as well as critically-acclaimed films, nominated for ten Oscars, he always kept a distance from the culture of the entertainment industry. Maybe that accounted for his success.
He showed his dramatic range in the two Tennessee Williams movies he made, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Sweet Bird of Youth as well as in Hud, Cool Hand Luke and most recently Road to Perdition. My personal favorites, however, will always remain two of his greatest box-office successes, his (only, alas!) collaborations with Robert Redford, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting.
It wasn't just Redford with whom Newman had such great chemistry. He also worked well with numerous actors and Hollywood stars, notably his wife of fifty years, Joanne Woodward. That relationship more than any other defined Paul Newman.
A class act he. Would it that we had more such men in Hollywood.
A lifelong liberal, Newman, unlike too many of today's stars, didn't trash the other side. Instead, he was a proponent, an advocate, and — more importantly — one who put his money where his mouth was.

A friend once noted that I'm not very good with beginnings. In blogging, sometimes I find I have a brilliant idea (at least I think it's brilliant), but will struggle to express myself because I want just the right beginning.
I even had this problem as a runner. The first few minutes of the run would be the toughest. Once I found my stride, however, I could hold my pace for great distances. I learned to use this to my advantage when I rand road races. I'd start slow, not minding so much if people passed me, but afer the second mile, I'd be the one doing the passing.  From then on, no one would pass me.
Only later did catch the beginning* on FoxNews and thought Obama looked stronger in his opening remarks. About a third in the debate when I had inititally started watching, McCain looked nervous, almost uncomfortable. On the watch for Obama's use of "um," given the Democrat's predilection for the word when not using a TelePrompter, I also caught my candidate used the exclamation more than was warranted.
At this point, he only seemed better because Obama was worse.
Will MSM Take Note of Obama's Kissinger Gaffe?
Posted by GayPatriotWest at 2:19 am - September 27, 2008.
Look, Dr. Kissinger did not say that he would approve of face-to- face meetings between the president of the United States and the president — and Ahmadinejad. He did not say that.
Beyond that misrepresentation, Obama did not commit any major blunders in tonight's debate. He didn't look as strong or as confidant as John McCain, but did seem more easily rattled than his Republican rival.
Yet, if we had a more even-handed media, they might make much of his attempt to twist Henry Kissinger's words. Â And of the former Secretary of State's quick repudiation of the Illinois Democrat.

US-Mexico relations are officially off-the-wall
Antonio Castillo
Writing in the New York Times, renowned Mexican historian Enrique Krauze splendidly summed up the US conduct toward his country. 'For Mexico, the United States has been a difficult neighbour, sometimes violent, almost always arrogant, almost never respectful, rarely cooperative,' Krauze wrote. Donald Trump is the embodiment of all these. Trump has taken the US disrespect towards its Spanish-speaking neighbour to a level even Mexicans - a resigned bunch - won't put up with any longer.
Freedom of conscience and same-sex marriage
Jack Maxwell
Two issues can be dealt with shortly. First, ministers of religion must be free to solemnise marriages in accordance with their beliefs. Second, there is no basis for extending a similar concession to marriage celebrants. The case of commercial service providers is more complex. Many argue that caterers, florists, reception centres and so on should be free to refuse to participate in same-sex weddings, on the basis of their religious beliefs. The case for the commercial exemption is unconvincing.
Manning mercy belies double standard on whistleblowers
Manning became the victim of an institutional drive to target whistleblowers, with the centrepiece of the prosecution focusing on computer crimes and the Espionage Act. Despite the eventual commutation of her 35 year sentence, the severity of that sentence demonstrated the gulf between the cosy, public relations air of an administration keen to project certain achievements and its stomping on those keen to disclose inappropriate and illegal conduct in the security and intelligence services.
Obama's shining light in sombre times
In an otherwise sombre start to the year Barack Obama's final speech has been a shining light. He celebrated what he saw as the successes of his administration without sneering at his political opponents. He spoke graciously and decently, and evoked hope for the future. Obama is right in insisting that empathy is the necessary starting point for reconstructing a broken economic framework. It enables a global perspective from which the good of individuals and groups is set within the flourishing of the whole community, and especially the most disadvantaged.
US goes rogue on climate
Greg Foyster
Here we go again. Just a few days after the historic Paris Agreement on climate change entered force, another Republican climate denier has snatched the White House. Donald Trump isn't just a closet sceptic, paying lip-service to climate change while doing nothing about it. He's an out-and-proud conspiracy theorist. All signs point to the US returning to its role as international climate saboteur, and for much the same reasons: Republican paranoia over the economic rise of China.
Progressives must stand firm in Trump's shadow
Fatima Measham
It didn't take long for me and other Filipino friends to be asked 'How do we Americans deal with this?' There is nothing soothing to say. Trump is not Duterte, of course, and there are differences in governance and law enforcement that (as yet) better protect Americans. But what I know is it is not the office that makes the person presidential. It is a waste of time to expect Trump to change. There will be no post-election unity, despite the conciliatory noises being made. And yet there is no choice but to endure.
Mosul and Aleppo: A tale of two sieges
This is a tale of two cities. Both are occupied by militants holding to an extremist reading of Islam which gives no space to other faiths or opposing voices. In both cases, the defenders are using civilians as human shields and preventing them from leaving in the breaks granted by the besieging forces. Both are under attack by the internationally recognised governments of the countries in which they are situated. In both cases, civilians are suffering. Yet the narratives in the west are wildly different.
Being clear eyed and misty eyed about human rights and asylum seekers
Australia's policy is unique and unrepeatable by other nations because it requires that you be an island nation continent without asylum seekers in direct flight from the countries next door and that you have access to a couple of other neighbouring island nations which are so indigent that they will receive cash payments in exchange for warehousing asylum seekers and proven refugees, perhaps indefinitely. The policy over which Turnbull presides is not world best practice. It's a disgrace.
The dangers of Trump and climate conspiracy theories
Trump predictably resorted to insinuation to mask his deficiencies. After the first presidential debate, he said: 'They gave me a defective mic. Did you notice that ... was that on purpose?' It is hilarious until you realise how it would be received by supporters. It captures something of contemporary politics, where the line between conspiracy theory and legitimate anti-establishment criticism is more smudged than ever. A deficit of trust is one thing; a detachment from truth is something else.
Oliver Stone's love letter to hero Edward Snowden
Tim Kroenert
Snowden's disclosures regarding the data-mining activities of the US government sparked a worldwide debate about security versus privacy that rages to this day. If his status as either a villain or a hero - a traitor, or the ultimate patriot - remains a matter of debate in some circles, you won't die wondering in which camp Oliver Stone sits. In Snowden the famously didactic filmmaker posits an utterly sympathetic portrait within the structure of a lithe and gripping political thriller.
History will pardon Snowden even if Obama won't
The relationship between the whistleblower and journalism has not always been a neat one. The tendency for symbiosis to become positively vengeful is evidenced in the Washington Post stance on Edward Snowden's whistleblowing activities. Having scooped up a Pulitzer working on the Snowden findings, the paper got nasty. There was little need for the paper to wade into these waters, but the editors obviously felt so strongly about Snowden it went for the jugular with seething conviction.
Leave Europe arguments betray cultural amnesia
Some commentators in the Australian media have welcomed the prospect of Britain's leaving the EU. The founders of the union would recognise these commentators' hoped-for changes. They are precisely the conditions that contributed to the wars that they so feared: the xenophobia, disregard for human rights, chauvinism, military adventures entered by individual nations and competitive economic policies that alienated citizens and so bred authoritarian and ideologically inspired leaders.

What is the Best Hardwood Floor Option for a San Diego Restaurant?
What is the Best Hardwood Floor Option for Restaurants?
Hardwood floors are an excellent addition to a restaurant, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing floor option that can fit in with a variety of themes and layouts. However, when choosing what kind of floors to install in a restaurant, you need to take into account a variety of different factors. To figure out the best hardwood floor option for your restaurant, read on or simply contact the hardwood floor experts at Woodworks Fine Flooring by calling (619) 335-8877.
What Type of Wood Flooring is Best for a Restaurant?
The first thing to decide when choosing wood flooring for your restaurant is the type of wood. The three main options to consider are solid hardwood flooring, engineered wood floors, and reclaimed wood floors.
Solid hardwood flooring incredibly durable, making it more than capable of withstanding the everpresent foot traffic of a restaurant. However, solid hardwood flooring may not be the ideal option for a restaurant, as these kind of wood floors are sensitive to changes in temperature, humidity, and moisture. Another downside to solid hardwood flooring in a restaurant is that it can be stained, meaning that if some food or beverage is spilled on the floor, it will leave its mark. If you do go with solid hardwood, make sure to choose a wood that is very dense for more stability.
Engineered wood is a great option for restaurants, as it is resistant to the dings, scratches and other accidents that come with crowds of people. Unlike solid hardwood flooring, it can handle humidity and moisture and also offers plenty of stability.
Reclaimed wood purposefully has a more worn look, allowing it to easily mask the wear and tear that is sure to occur over time in a restaurant. This is a perfect wood for a dance floor or other high-traffic area.
What Kind of Design and Color of Wood Flooring is Best for a Restaurant?
Once you have chosen the type of wood to use in your restaurant, you will need to decide what color and shade of wood you wish to use. The design of wood you use will depend on the type of restaurant you operate.
A high-end restaurant will want to have a shade of wood that looks elegant and intimate. A deep, rich shade of wood can easily convey this message.
For a casual restaurant, you may want to go with a lighter shade of color that is more inviting and free-flowing.
If you have a themed restaurant that is going for a rustic look or has a nautical theme, you may want to go with reclaimed wood that is distressed and worn. This will give your restaurant an antique and lived-in feel.
Woodworks Fine Flooring is the hardwood floor experts, helping restaurants, homes, offices, and other establishments get beautiful wood floors. If you are interested in installing premium hardwood flooring at an affordable price, contact Woodworks Fine Flooring today by calling (619) 335-8877.

About the most low impact wrenching you can imagine... My new saddlebags weren't sitting right on my bike. They were cockeyed and hanging too low and needed to be fastened down. So I got a new 6mm hex socket and driver from Sears (yay Craftsman) (was going to get the socket at Home Depot, but they don't sells them by the each, they sells them by the set) and when I got home from work I changed into civvies and went straight outside to catch the last of the light.
I needed the hex wrench to get the pillion seat off, because the saddlebag straps go under the seat. darkwolfie helped me realign the bags and I figured out how to better tie them down. Now they ride much higher, look a lot better, and I can even open the expander zipper without worrying about hitting the exhaust. I'm actually thinking about taking off the pillion seat and putting on a rack and tail bag. No time soon, though.
I was kinda pleh when I got home, especially since it was a gorgeous day today and I didn't get home till six, so no ride for me. But I spent an hour puttering about with my bike and chatting with my beloved, and I felt better. Gotta love that.

Barrett Smith Charles
Preliminary Diagnosis: Pheochromocytoma
I. What imaging technique is first-line for this diagnosis?
MRI abdomen with IV contrast
II. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of this technique for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.
This technique may identify extra-adrenal lesions, which account for 10% of pheochromocytomas.
Does not use ionizing radiation.
This technique is expensive.
Requires patient cooperation.
Longer imaging time.
III. What are the contraindications for the first-line imaging technique?
There are contraindications for patients with non-MRI approved metallic devices.
Gadolinium is contraindicated in patients with a GRF <30-40 mL/min/1.73m2, due to the risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
IV. What alternative imaging techniques are available?
CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast.
Nuclear medicine scan (MIBG).
V. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the alternative techniques for diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.
CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast
CT is equally sensitive to MRI, and may be used as first line imaging.
May identify extra-adrenal lesions, which account for 10% of pheochromocytomas.
This is a quick imaging procedure which requires minimal patient cooperation and is less susceptible to motion artifact.
Hypertensive crisis has been described with use of older, ionic contrast agents. However, hypertensive crisis is rare or nonexistent with use of modern non-ionic contrast agents and routine pre-medication with alpha and beta blockade is not recommended.
Pheochromocytoma is not distinguished from other adrenal lesions by imaging appearance alone. History and lab values are necessary for diagnosis.
Ionizing radiation exposure.
Administration of iodinated contrast may result in worsening renal function (contrast nephropathy) in patients with renal insufficiency. Contrast dose should be reduced or withheld in these patients.
Nuclear medicine scan (MIBG)
Whole body imaging detects extra-adrenal and metastatic disease.
More specific than MRI or CT.
Imaging may take 2-3 days.
Less sensitive than MRI or CT, and you may see positive findings in cases of neuroblastoma, carcinoid tumor, medullary thyroid carcinoma, and ganglioneuroma.
VI. What are the contraindications for the alternative imaging techniques?
Contraindicated in pregnant women, especially in the first two trimesters.
Relative contraindication in patients with contrast allergy.
Relative contraindication in patients with renal failure.
Contraindicated during pregnancy.
Contraindicated while breastfeeding.

" Dear Irma and family; I was truly saddened to learn of..."
HANS IBING Beloved by his family and admired by those who knew him, Hans enjoyed a colourful life of one hundred years. He was a man of many skills, talents and intelligence, warmhearted and broadminded. He was a proud and respected employee of the Toronto Star for twenty-four years where he was an expert in colour rotogravure printing. A veteran of the Spanish Civil War, his experience is recounted in the book, The Gallant Cause and his name commemorated with fellow volunteers on a memorial in Ottawa. He was a Canadian patriot who often said that coming to Canada from Germany in 1929, was the best thing he ever did. Hans was also a wonderful amateur painter, cook and gardener. Predeceased by Sara (Kasow), his wife of fourty-six years, he is sorely missed by his daughter Irma and son-in-law, Clifford Orchard; his dear grandchildren Lisa (David Goutor) and Mark (Jordan-na Belle-Isle); his adored great-granddaughter Madeleine; niece Wendy Greene (John Dupuis) and sons Sam and Daniel and the families of nieces and nephews in Germany. Hans passed away the morning of October 5, 2009, his family at his side. We would like to thank the staff at North York General Hospital. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the United Way Toronto is appreciated. A private family service will be held.

Rogers discusses area's economic future during address to chambers of commerce
By : Mark White
Tag: collaborative luncheon, Knox County Chamber of Commerce, Southern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers
U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers accepts a gift from Knox County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Claudia Greenwood and Southern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bruce Carpenter.
Efforts to reclaim abandoned mine lands, spur economic development, and to bring high-speed, high capacity broadband Internet to the region were among the topics U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers covered as the keynote speaker for the first ever Southern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and the Knox County Chamber of Commerce collaborative luncheon Thursday in Williamsburg.
"It's great to see these two chambers meeting together," Rogers told the crowd. "You will find you can get so much more done when you are pulling together as one."
Southern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce President Trent Knuckles welcomed the crowd of over 150 people, who gathered at the Williamsburg Tourism and Convention Center for the event.
"I think we can get a lot more accomplished when we work together. Hopefully this won't be the last, but the first of many," Knuckles told the audience.
Knox County Chamber of Commerce President James McDowell echoed similar sentiments.
"We're a small chamber. We normally don't have events of this nature or this size, so we are absolutely thrilled to death to be here on this momentous day. We look forward to further opportunities to cooperate in any way possible," McDowell added.
During his presentation, Rogers gave an update about on-going work in Washington, D.C. and Kentucky's Fifth Congressional District, including new grant funding opportunities to reclaim abandoned mine lands and repurpose them for economic development projects, the Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR) initiative, and the KentuckyWired project that will connect every county in the state to high-speed, high-capacity broadband.
"For the first time in Eastern Kentucky's history, we are in the mix and broadband will place us in world-wide competition," said Rogers, who helped launch the broadband project through the SOAR initiative. "I think high-speed, high-capacity Internet is the new interstate highways of our age."
Rogers noted that one of his conditions for the KentuckyWired project was that it starts in eastern Kentucky first.
The effort is more complicated than you might think. Right-of-ways have to be obtained for 18,000 utility poles. There are 400 individual property owners, who won't let workers onto their premises to string the cable.
U.S. Representative Harold "Hal" Rogers (R-Somerset) spoke to a joint luncheon of the Southern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and the Knox County Chamber of Commerce last Thursday. The luncheon was held at the Williamsburg Tourism Center.
Gov. Matt Bevin's office recently announced more than $10 million in grants for economic development and infrastructure projects in the region, including $200,000 to help local businesses become ISO certified, which is a certification needed to secure most federal contracts.
"If we want to hit a homerun with federal contracting, then we have to get in the game that means becoming ISO certified," Rogers added.
The Southeast Kentucky Economic Development Corporation (SKED) is hosting a supplier education and economic development-contracting symposium on Oct. 19 at the Corbin Center that Rogers encouraged luncheon attendees to go to.
Rogers added that it has been a rough time in Washington, D.C. recently, or as he calls it, "Manhattan on the Potomac."
"I'm chagrinned, as I am sure you are, of the violence of the last few days by extreme people. We don't have any room in this country for violence, or breaking the law, or harming people because of what they believe or what they look like. We have to restrain ourselves. We have to act civilized like we are," Rogers said.
"This is a very diverse country that we share. We have people of different beliefs, who are entitled to those beliefs under our constitution. We have to protect them and those rights short of violence. Violence has no place. I don't care who it is. Nevertheless we will come through this fine."
After the luncheon, Rogers visited CSRA Inc. in Barbourville where he spoke with nearly 100 employees.
The facility supports the work of federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Health and Human Services.
"I'm thrilled with what you're doing," said Rogers. "The way we process information has drastically changed. With the advent of KentuckyWired, broadband will allow this company and countless more to expand operations, giving more people the opportunity to stay in Eastern Kentucky to work and raise their families."
The KCEOC Community Action Agency (CAA) also hosted Rogers Thursday afternoon for a meeting with directors of nine CAAs in Eastern Kentucky. They discussed the impact of programs, like Head Start and heating assistance in the region.

Over Lent we're offering weekly suggestions for prayer, action and reflection on the gospel passages.
This reflection is also available as a PDF to print and share with your congregation.
Resurrection and the promise of new life are fundamental elements of the Christian faith. What could be more hopeful than the offer of being reborn, or renewed, of being given a new life and being able to move on from old disappointments or regrets?
Yet, a grain of wheat pressed into the earth is at that moment simply buried. It is dead and lost to the sun and out of sight. With nurture and care it will flourish, but the earth will lay heavy upon it.
At The Children's Society we know that there is hope and potential for the young people we work with. But we meet them at the point when they are buried in the earth, when they feel cut off from the sun and the possibility of life with any hope.
Thankfully, we can see a new life and potential. Thankfully, we are supported so that we can offer that hope. Thankfully, we see young people burst into new life and new possibilities. It is glorious to see.
Renewing God, you show us in creation how death gives way to new life. In our Lenten journey help us to let go of our old self to make way for new life as you transform us into your likeness. Give us boundless hope in your power to change us and to change the lives of others as you continue your work of renewing the face of the earth.
Every week thousands of Christians around the country unite with us to pray for renewal and new life for disadvantaged children of our nation, like Sarah. Sign up to join them today.

Many people think that this family of licenses is inherently flawed. The nature of copyleft licenses makes it impossible to use projects licensed that way in non-free works, which is legally possible with projects with permissive licenses. To that end, many modern programmers, especially in the open source movement, have eschewed the copyleft family and licensed all of their work under MIT or BSD licenses. While the cause may not be immediately obvious, there has also been a rise in re-use of free projects in commercial projects, as well.
However, many programmers continue to use the GPL and similar licenses to protect their code. It ensures that code given to the community stays in the community, and is not used in non-free software packages. The AGPL even ensures that code given to the community is not used in non-free web services. The latest version of the GPL, version 3, even protects code from being included in embedded code without also providing the user the (potentially modified) source code (referred to as "Tivoization"). These protections still appeal to many programmers, and they are powerful tools for the movement - very useful libraries licensed under copyleft licenses can sometimes convince programmers to release their code under the same license.
== Quick guidelines ==
* '''If you're not 100% sure you have the right to do something, you don't.''' Don't assume you can copy and modify a program unless you've found specific permission to do so, somewhere. This could be a personal message from the distributor, or a COPYING file in the git repo, or a license statement in a specific file. Just make sure it applies to what you're copying or changing.
* '''If you aren't exasperated by the verbosity of a license to do something, you probably still can't do that thing.''' Lawyers get paid well for a reason: They spend their days sitting in an office thinking up ways to screw with their own work. That's why the GPL and licenses like it are so very, insanely, mind-numbingly long. If the license you're reading just says "Do whatever you'd like" or "This project is free for everyone", there's probably some subtle thing in copyright law that the authour didn't think of. Even if you don't think there is, it doesn't hurt to be absolutely certain. Suggest that they use an existing license, probably a permissive license - not just to protect you, but to protect them, too.
* '''Always include a license in your projects.''' If you have ever run across a project without a license file, you know how frustrating it is, and you should try not to inflict that frustration on others. This is a huge problem on the popular code hosting site, GitHub, where many people simply upload code and assume that's enough. Sharing freely requires a bit more thought.

First I discovered that we'd be camping on the Cape— I hate camping. Secondly my cousin who had planned to come along got sick and bailed, so it was just pre-teen me and my parents. Ugh. And then it rained.
Rain is never fun on vacation. Rain when you're camping on the Cape is even less fun, take my word for it. Rest assured we made the best of it and continued to sightsee and explore just as we would if the sun had been shining. ("What can I tell you? Let's just make the best of it." was such a frequently used phrase in our house I should have had it printed on a t-shirt.) However those damp Summer days actually did hold two bright spots for me; The first was finding an old-fashioned penny candy store where a couple of dollars could still buy you a boat load of sugary goodness and the other was a truly no-nonsense lunch we stumbled into one afternoon.
So the moral of this story could be something like: It never hurts to try and make the best of a situation; don't be afraid to suddenly take a new road or it is possible to find simple, delicious, perfection in a little styrofoam cup!
This reminds me of summer at the Cape and works perfectly well with either haddock or cod.
Dice the bacon, add to a large stock pot and cook until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the diced onion, celery and thyme to the bacon fat and cook until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the flour to the pot and allow to cook until golden brown. Then add the sherry to deglaze the pan, being sure to scrape up any stuck on bit from the bottom.
Stir in the stock, clam juice and butternut squash and allow to come to a boil. Reduce the heat and allow to simmer until the squash is just tender 10-12 minutes.
Cut the fish fillets into large bite sized pieces. Stir in the salt, pepper and smoked paprika. When the squash is tender add the fish to the pot, cover and simmer until it flakes apart easily, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the cream and allow to cook for 2 more minutes.
Serve with a hearty sprinkle of cayenne pepper.
Since last Sunday's dinner we've eaten leftover ham in every fashion imaginable and yet I still had plenty of leftovers and a ham bone sitting in my fridge. You too? Yeah I thought so. Typically when we have ham for Easter someone ends up taking home the bone and returns sometime later with a few containers of split pea soup. This year I decided to take the "boar" by the horns and make it myself.
Frankly I've eaten enough pea soup over the years to know exactly how I like it; super thick, with plenty of carrots (potatoes optional) and I prefer the ham diced rather than shredded. With those factors in mind I forged ahead and created an "almost as good as my mothers" split pea soup. (Although she actually makes hers with smoked turkey and not ham, so perhaps mine is actually the winner in the smoked porcine category!) Either way it turned out so good that I decided to share it with you. So good in fact that no one grumbled about dinner, questioned how many bites were required or feigned fullness just to get the meal over with. And frankly in my world, that spells total dinner success!
This is the perfect recipe to use up holiday ham. Perfect!
Put the split peas, ham bone, carrots, celery, onion, thyme, bay leaves, chicken broth and water in a large stock pot and stir to blend. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower to a simmer, cover and cook until the peas are tender, about 1 hour.
Remove the ham bone, thyme stems and bay leaves and using an immersion blender, puree the soup to the desired consistency. Add to the pureed soup the diced ham and steamed carrots and allow the soup to come back to a simmer. Adjust the seasonings and serve with crusty bread or cornbread.
Grilled cheese and tomato soup; it's the ultimate comfort food combination. No matter who you are or where you're from I'm betting you have some memory directly connected to this classic combo; for me it's cozy weekend lunches as a kid. I'd set myself up with a tv tray smack in the middle of the living room, turn on one of my favorite shows; perhaps Scooby-Doo, Josie and the Pussycats or Schoolhouse Rock and settle in with a piping hot bowl of tomato soup and a good 'ol grilled cheese. Simple. Classic. Perfect.
Flash forward 30+ years and nothing has changed. Sure the show on tv is probably SpongeBob, Fairly Odd Parents or Uncle Grandpa (Unfamiliar with this one? Count yourself lucky.) The soup is Slow-Roasted Tomato Bisque and the sandwiches are Grilled Rosemary Ham and Muenster on Marble Rye; but the cozy, comforting perfection is just the same.
You can also make this soup with canned whole tomatoes and it will be perfectly good, but nothing beats fresh.
Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside. In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar, cloves, salt and pepper. Slice the tomatoes in half and place cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle each half with olive oil then sprinkle liberally with the brown sugar mixture.
Roast in the oven for 2 1/2 hours, or until the tomatoes begin to soften and collapse. Transfer the roasted tomatoes to a blender. Add the vegetable stock and blend until smooth.* Transfer the puree to a medium pot and heat until warmed, but not boiling. Stir in the half and half and cook for an additional minute. Ladle into bowls and enjoy!
*To make ahead: Follow the directions up to this point, then pour into a storage container and refrigerate. When ready to use heat until warmed, but not boiling. Stir in the half and half and cook for an additional minute, then serve.
I like food. All kinds of food prepared in all kinds of ways. In fact I'd like to think there aren't that many food-realted absolutes in my world; sure I like my coffee strong, my chocolate dark and my curry spicy. I hate fast-food, I'm not a big fan of pb&j's and I can't stand pancakes. I am however willing to consider an exception to all those rules, if it's the right exception. Where things become hard and fast is when we start talking about dishes connected to my Connecticut childhood.
My family was the car trip type; gas on up, pile on in and move on out. Whether it was driving for hours on our way to a fun-filled vacation or just going out for a drive because it was a beautiful Sunday without pressing plans— my parents were always up for it. We met a wide range of people on our travels and the opportunity to experience an endless array of different foods was always part of the adventure. It was fun, it was eye-opening and I'm pretty sure it was the basis for my love of food. I saw a considerable amount of the country from the backseat of our station wagon, but it was the time we spent traveling through the New England countryside that was always my favorite. This is no doubt the reason I have such a longing to move back and such an unflinching opinion on how some of the foods I associate with New England should be enjoyed. For example; In my book Lobster Rolls are carefree summer food meant to be eaten out of little paper trays, preferably at picnic tables with squawking sea gulls nearby. They should never be considered fancy restaurant food that costs a small fortune. French Fries taste the best cut thin and doused with salt and malted vinegar, not ketchup. (And take it from me, they taste even better if you happen to purchase them from a booth at a local country fair.) And Clam Chowder should never be anything but creamy and white. Sorry Rhode Island, but your permission to call the seafood soup you're famous for clam chowder should be revoked. And don't even get me stated on Manhattan.
Until recently I had never made New England Clam Chowder, but I figured there was no time like this snowy winter to give it a shot. I knew my son had grown fond of it while spending time in Connecticut with my parents, my husband I were already fans and my daughter was a soup lover from way back— so why not? The thing that made me hesitant about clam chowder, or any cream based soup for that matter, is its lofty calorie count. Don't misunderstand me, I don't normally do things like count calories, avoid carbs or drink spritzers just to shave 100 calories off my day. But if a lighter version of something can appear, taste and satisfy the same way the full fat version does, then I'm all for it. So I decided that if I was going to make New England Clam Chowder I would try to make a "lighter" version. I did some recipe research and spoke with my dyed-in-the-wool New England mother (who frankly was aghast when I suggested possibly adding celery, garlic or a bay leaf to the recipe) and finally worked out a creamy, delicious but not overly guilt inducing recipe. A recipe that makes New Jersey seem a little closer to "home".
This chowder is delicious with a thinner more traditional broth, not pasty, gloppy and heavy like clam chowder can sadly sometimes be.
Drain the canned clams, reserving the juice and set aside. Add to a large pan the white wine, bottled clam juice, reserved clam juice and diced potatoes and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside.
Heat a large stock pot over medium heat, add the bacon and cook until it gets crispy and brown and render its fat. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the onions to the pot and sauté until they're translucent, about 10 minutes. Lower the heat and gradually whisk in the milk and half and half.
Bring just to a simmer, then stir in the clams, bacon and potato mixture and bring back to a simmer, stirring frequently. Allow to cook for 5 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the black pepper and arrowroot powder (1-2 tablespoons depending on how thick you want the chowder) and serve with plenty of oyster crackers.
Corrados has an entire aisle dedicated to pasta and grains. Seriously, an entire aisle! I'll be honest with you, typically when I buy pasta I buy the brown rice type— it is after all the healthier and less filling option. But when I'm at Corrados all bets are off. You'll find pastas there in shapes, sizes and varieties that you never imagined existed. How could I possibly walk away from such an amazing selection?!? On a recent shopping trip I loaded my cart with enormous rigatoni, spaghetti the thickness of no. 2 pencils and a couple of bags of pearled Italian Farro. In case you're unfamiliar with Farro I'll give you a quick primer: Farro is an ancient grain that's steadily gaining in popularity. It can be made into hot cereal, served as a cold or warm side dish, turned into a risotto of sorts and even be served as a warm dessert with a little crumbled fresh ricotta and a drizzle of honey. However when I bought those bags of Farro I didn't really have any of those uses in mind. In fact I didn't really have anything in mind, I just thought I'd buy it now and figure things out later. The Farro sat in my cabinet for a while just waiting to be used until one day I found myself thinking of my little Italian grandmother. Not for any particular reason or of any particular memory, just thinking of her.
Grandma Perrone was the littlest of ladies, sweet and soft spoken and an amazing cook. She could take the simplest of ingredients and turn them into a feast. I can't think about her without remembering the delicious soups she used to make; pasta fagioli, chicken with pastina and tiny meatballs and a hearty minestrone… and suddenly I found my inspiration.
This is a wonderfully hearty soup that works equally well with escarole, kale or spinach. And while I prefer to use chicken sausage you can certainly use spicy pork if that's more your thing.
The night before you plan to make the soup place the dry farro in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water and allow to soak overnight. The following morning drain, rinse and set aside.
In a large stockpot over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the sausage pieces and allow to brown. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add to the pot the carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Cook 5-6 minutes or until everything begins to soften. Add the mushrooms, salt and black pepper and cook until the mushroom have released all their liquid.
Add the red wine to deglaze the pan, being sure to scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom. Then add the tomatoes, broth, farro and reserved sausage. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for 15 minutes. Add the escarole and crushed red pepper and allow to simmer for 3 more minutes or until the escarole is tender.
Adjust seasonings and serve garnished with additional crushed red pepper and a healthy sprinkle of grade cheese.
*I realize this seems like a lot of broth, but the longer the soup sits the more liquid the farro absorbs.

India, Egypt to Hold First-ever Joint Military Exercises Between Special Forces - Raksha Anirveda is a new age print publication (quarterly) with a digital presence.
India, Egypt to Hold First-ever Joint Military Exercises Between Special Forces
January 17, 2023 Admin Indian Army
New Delhi: In a move to further strengthen defence ties between India and Egypt, the two countries are set to hold the first-ever military exercises involving the special forces in Udaipur, Jaipur and Jodhpur, Egypt's Ambassador to India Wael Hamed said here January 16.
"We for the first time ever will hold joint military exercises with special forces participating together from Egypt and India in Udaipur, Jaipur and Jodhpur. And we are expanding our defence cooperation not only to joint exercises of air forces and naval but also in special forces," Hamed told media persons.
Participating in a panel discussion on India-Egypt ties in changing global order, he said, "India is a major country in the Indian Ocean and the security of the Indian Ocean starts from the security of the Red Sea in the West and for Egypt on the Suez Canal. The Security of the Suez Canal starts with the Indian Ocean as well. So we are both linked together in the area of security, it is very important for both countries to come together and discuss."
Talking about the bilateral trade target, Ambassador said that the US$ 12 billion doesn't represent the potential of both of the countries. Earlier, Ausaf Sayeed, secretary (CPV & OIA), MEA said that the bilateral trade was recorded at an all-time high of US$ 7.2 billion between 2021 and 2022 and further hoped for trade to further increase to about US$12 billion.
"India is a huge market of 1.4 billion people but Egypt is also a place where you can access 1.4 billion people even though the population is 100 million people. From Egypt, you can reach the people in the European Union (EU) with which we have the FTA, the Arab world and the continent of Africa. So this makes Egypt a springboard to a market of approximately 1.4 or 1.3 billion people. So by coming to Egypt, India will be able to reach and get duty-free access to all these markets in the region," Ambassador said.
Earlier, at the Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA), Panel Discussion on India-Egypt Ties in Changing Global Order, Sayeed stressed that India and Egypt have immense potential and can attain even greater heights through bilateral engagements based on shared interests.
"Our focus today is to strengthen this bond and at the same time nurture new connections. Egypt is our valued partner and has a pivotal role in maintaining peace and stability in the Arab world and Africa," Sayeed said.
"India-Egypt partnership has immense potential and can achieve greater heights based on commonalities of Global South which we historically share. We have excellent cooperation in multilateral forums and a good understanding of regional and global issues," he added.
Calling the completion of 75 years of diplomatic ties between India and Egypt a 'momentous occasion', he said the two nations established formal relations three days after India attained independence on August 15 in 1947.
He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi as chief guest for the Republic Day and the invitation was warmly received.
Ausaf Sayeed said, "This is indeed a momentous occasion in our bilateral relations with Egypt when our two countries are celebrating 75 years of diplomatic relations. I was told that When we became independent on the 15th of August, 1947 it was three days later on the 18th of August that the relations, formal relations were established which goes on to say the importance which we attach to our relationship with Egypt."'
He further stated, "Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has invited President Sisi as chief guest for our Republic Day and President Sisi has warmly accepted the invitation. We have invited Egypt as the guest country during our G20 Presidency this year. It is a matter of satisfaction that the civilization that links India and Egypt have not only stood the test of time but have also further strengthened by mutual warmth, friendship, and goodwill."'
Sayeed said the ties between the two nations received further momentum with Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's visits to India and meetings between the two leaders at various forums, including the United Nations.

Nigeria: Fresh bomb explosion wounds several people in Maiduguri
Anthony-Claret Ifeanyi Onwutalobi October 10, 2011 January 19, 2018
There was a bomb explosion close to a church building in Maiduguri, northeast Nigeria, on Sunday.
Several people were wounded in the bomb blast but security officials report there were no deaths.
The blast, according to the Daily Sun, occurred at about 4 p.m., in the Gwange area of the city where soldiers of the Joint Task Force (JTF) were on guard close to a church building. The attack was apparently targeted at the JTF security post. The Nigerian Tribune says that a JTF vehicle took direct hit in the blast. Business Day confirms that a soldier was among the wounded.
The explosion caused panic in Maiduguri township as the news spread through GSM phone calls and text messages. People rushed to the safety of their homes and soon the streets were deserted.
Nigerian security agencies have not confirmed whether the radical Islamic sect Boko Haram was responsible for the attack. Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for a series of recent bomb attacks and assassinations in Nigeria, including a suicide bomb attack on UN Headquarters in August, in which 23 people died.
This is not the first incident of bomb attack in Maiduguri township. Boko Haram, radical Islamic sect fighting for full implementation of Sharia law in Nigeria, was responsible for a bomb blast which killed two girls and three customs officers in June, 2011. According to Al-Jazeera, the June bombing occurred within 24 hrs of a bomb attack on a beer garden which killed 25 people(Boko Haram insists that Sharia law prohibits sale and consumption of beer)

While 8K is merely an aspiration now for most - 4K TVs still haven't really become mainstream - Strategy Anaytics predicts that 8K will be found in 56 million homes around the world in just six short years.
The research firm's Connected Home Devices report says that the U.S. will be the most successful market for 8K TVs, which offer four times the resolution of 4K, with 8% of American households owning an 8K TV by 2025. By the end of this year, the report forecasts that global sales of 8K TVs will reach 0.5 million units.
But Strategy Analytics believes that, despite this impressive anticipated growth, 8K TVs will struggle to gain foothold in most other regions. And the company suggests that while 8K TV will go great news for TV vendors, it will be less meaningful for the content industry.
Additionally, the report found that annual sales of 8K TVs will reach 31 million units worldwide by 2025, worth US$35 billion in retail revenues. China will see the highest volumes for 8K TV through 2025 as domestic vendors are quick to adopt 8K resolutions for their large screen ranges. Sales of 8K TVs will be concentrated in the 60-inch and above screen size categories, which will account for more than 70% of 8K TV demand.
"8K TV is likely to attract a lot of attention this year," says David Watkins, Director at Strategy Analytics. "TV manufacturers and video technology vendors are all keen to promote the idea that 8K is a logical and inevitable upgrade to today's 4K. This makes sense, up to a point, and 8K will achieve a foothold in the market where demand for the largest screen sizes is strong."
Michael Goodman, Director, TV & Media Strategies, adds: "The availability of true 8K content is going to remain extremely restricted for some years. Many content providers and distributors are still migrating to 4K from basic HD and will see little justification in investing in 8K when so few viewers will see any benefit for many years. Instead, they should focus on other important image enhancement technologies such as HDR (high dynamic range) and HFR (high frame rate)."
Boasting 8K resolution, Sony's upcoming 98" Master Series Z9G LCD, shown here at CES in Las Vegas in January, is a sight to behold.


The Department of Homeland Security needs more authority over mobile telephone networks to properly do its job of securing federal IT systems against hackers.
Lawmakers fear that hackers will ramp up attacks against U.S. energy infrastructure and as a result, have crafted new legislation to help find solutions. Some cybersecurity experts, however, are skeptical of the Senate's latest efforts.

Sacred Heart University presents HEADS by E.M. Lewis
From BroadwayWorld.com:
Sacred Heart University to Stage HEADS, by E.M. Lewis
"Heads," the story of four people - an American engineer, a British embassy employee, a network journalist, and a freelance photographer, who are thrown together when they are taken hostage during the early years of the war in Iraq, opens in New York at The Beckett Theatre at Theatre Row, for a limited run, September 11-20, 2015 (410 West 42nd Street). "Heads" was written by playwright and librettist E.M. Lewis, whose works have been produced worldwide. She is the recipient of numerous awards including one for "Heads", the 2008 Primus Prize, honoring emerging women theatre artists. The play was first performed on stage in Los Angeles at the Blank Theatre Company and was a critical success. The Los Angeles Times said at the time that it was, "so topical that it feels as if the play was co-written by CNN." And Edward Albee called it "provocative and wonderfully threatening." Now the production will have a new incarnation in the hands of a group of students, who are part of the newly minted Theatre Arts undergraduate degree program at Sacred Heart University. Tony-nominated Broadway producer Jerry Goehring, the creator and Artistic Director of the Theatre Arts Program, is using his professional theatrical experience, to build a unique program that offers students the opportunity to work on productions in a non-academic environment. As such, Sacred Heart University's Theatre Arts Program has teamed with its in-residence professional company, Connecticut Children's Theatre, Inc. (CCT, Inc.) to fund and produce a limited run of "Heads."
"Heads" is a heartwrenching story about finding hope and intimacy in an environment with seemingly no way out. Performances are scheduled on:
The Beckett Theatre at Theatre Row
September 11-20, 2015 (410 West 42nd Street)
Fri Sept 11, 8pm (preview)
Sat Sept 12, 2pm and 8pm (previews)
Sun Sept 13, 3pm (Opening)

The allure of "molecular videos": In-situ infrared spectroscopy of polymerization processes
A. J. Pasquale, J. R. Lizotte, D. T. Williamson, Timothy Edward Long
In-situ infrared spectroscopy permits the real-time elucidation of polymerization kinetics and mechanisms for a wide range of polymerization processes. Both near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy have been utilized for the investigation of living ionic polymerizations. The essential determination of pseudo-first-order polymerization kinetics that are consistent with living mechanisms and monomer conversion profiles facilitated the discovery of novel block and star copolymers. Real-time determination of polymerization rates for stable free radical polymerizations of styrene and 2-vinyl naphthalene has provided significant insight regarding nitroxide mediation in free radical polymerization processes. Free radical alternating copolymerization of norbornenes with maleic anhydride was also investigated and in-situ mid-infrared spectroscopic analysis has been vital for mechanistic studies of this copolymerization process. In addition, mid-infrared spectroscopy of melt phase polyester polymerizations via acidolysis allowed the identification of suitable poly-condensation catalysts and the nature of the heterogeneous polymerization environment at 300 °C.

Construction workers save toddler, baby dropped from burning building
Updated: Sun 10:53 AM, Jul 14, 2019
ALBUQUERQUE, NM (KOAT/HEARST/CNN) - Construction workers were able to save the lives of a baby and a toddler stuck inside of a burning building.
Construction workers came to the aid of a family during a fire, and it was caught on video. (Source: Abraham Velez/KOAT/Hearst/CNN)
The dramatic moment was caught on video.
The men in the yellow vests aren't firefighters or police. They're construction workers.
Brothers Mason Fierro and Jermaine Gallien said they saw a man screaming for help from a second-story window.
"We saw him hanging out the window with his baby, his 2-month-old baby," Fierro said.
With every second counting and with the rest of the crew working to bring their ladders over, Fierro called out for the man to drop the baby into his arms.
"He dropped her. I caught her. Then they bring out another little boy, 2 years, 2 or 3 years old, and then we caught him as well," he said.
Mason said he couldn't have done it without his brother and the rest of the crew running over to help him, as well as putting up the ladder to get the parents out safely.
"We had each other's back and it was just an all-in thing," Fierro said.
No one was more proud of his brother than Jermaine Gallien.
"The scene and catch, that baby girl and the baby boy, it just touched me. He stepped up and really became the hero of the day," Gallien said.
Mason says they only waited long enough to make sure the family was OK. Then they started going door to door to get everyone else out safely as well.
While neighbors we spoke with said Fierro deserves a medal, he said the dad thanked him and that was enough.
"He might not remember my name or my face, but he knows that somebody helped him. That's all that i care about honestly," he said.
One woman was taken into custody on arson charges.
Police said she admitted to starting two fires in the apartment using paper and an electric stove.

Having Some Faith In Haith
No one likes to admit that they're wrong. No one wants to take the blame when are there consequences to suffer.
It's especially true when you're actually getting paid to write about a particular sport that you're supposed to know something about.
Look, we all make mistakes, and anyone who can't admit to that is really fooling themselves. But while making mistakes is just a natural process of life, it's really those who can fess up to their own miscalculations that deserve to be forgiven, or at least, given some credit for admitting to their flaws.
That's what I'm hoping my friend and colleague Mr. Kroll will do after razzing me the last couple of weeks about picking his Miami Hurricanes to finish last in the conference in my ACC Preview before the season started.
Now, I know I wasn't the only one to do so.
In fact, at ACC Media Day back in October, the 50 or so other media members in attendance joined me in picking the Hurricanes last.
But as we're all finding out now, Miami is no push-over (and I can see the smile that has just lit up on Mr. Kroll's face).
So with the way Frank Haith's team has jumped out to a 12-0 start to the season and a No. 22 ranking in this week's AP poll -- with the likelihood of moving up some spots when the new rankings come out Monday -- my preseason prediction really makes me look like an idiot now.
That, for a perfectionist like myself, is part of the problem of working in this business. Sometimes you're right and sometimes you're wrong -- I'll be the first to admit that.
Yet if there's one thing for sure, it's that Frank Haith and company couldn't have started the season any better than they have with Miami being two victories away from tying the mark set for the school's best start ever.
The Hurricanes, in the meantime, also remained as one of the nation's nine teams to still be undefeated with a 95-64 rout Sunday over North Carolina A&T and could enter conference play on Jan. 12 against George Tech without a blemish if they can score wins over Winthrop and Ivy League rep Penn, games that will both be played in South Florida (one in Sunrise and one in Coral Cables).
For as good as the 'Canes have been so far this season, though, Haith isn't one to get overly enthusiastic about the early-season success.
In a 85-63 victory over North Florida on Friday, for example, Haith ripped his team, saying afterward that it was the worst game it had played all season.
"I thought it was our worst performance of the year," the Miami coach admitted. "Our intensity level was not good the whole game.
"You just can't turn it on."
Maybe it's because Haith knows what his team will be up against when they face the challenges of the ACC, the conference that's been notoriously known for showcasing the best talent and toughest arenas to play in for opposing teams.
Maybe it's because he remembers what ACC rival Clemson did last year, starting the year at 17-0 before struggling in conference play and missing out on an NCAA Tournament berth in March.
Either way, Haith understands that this is no time to get complacent, but he is proud of the way his team has played for the most part this season.
"I'm proud of the hard work that both the players and staff have put into building a winning team," said Haith. "We are going to continue to work to improve. We have to get that back."
"Each and every one of us has something that we can bring to the table," senior forward Raymond Hicks explained. "We depend on each other and have confidence we can do the job."
What they really have to do is get back to the NCAA Tournament, a place the Hurricanes haven't been since 2002 when they lost to No. 12 seed Missouri in a first-round game in Albuquerque, N.M.
It's also the last time the Hurricanes were nationally ranked, something that will put additional pressure on Haith's players to prove themselves against stiff ACC competition over the next two months.
Haith, nevertheless, likes the challenge of it all.
"This is good attention," he assured. "You'd rather have that than the other. I told the guys, the bull-eye's on their chest now."
But that's certainly a good thing for a coach that is trying to make a splash in his fourth year at the helm and take a program that had nearly flat-lined after 2002 and turn it into a national contender.
Because after all, if the 'Canes keep winning like they have been, Haith will have to get used to a much more regular dose of attention, and that's something I'm sure he won't mind too much.

Q: $\{f\in L^{1} : \hat{f} \in L^{p} \}$ closed under convolution? Let $f, g\in L^{1}(\mathbb R),$
we may define the convolution of $f$ and $g$ as follows:
$f\ast g(x)= \int_{\mathbb R} f(x-y)g(y) dy, (x\in \mathbb R).$
We note that $L^{1}(\mathbb R) \ast L^{1}(\mathbb R) \subset L^{1}(\mathbb R)$ and $L^{p}(\mathbb R)$ is not closed under convolution for $p>1.$
We put,
$A^{p}(\mathbb R)=\{f\in L^{1}(\mathbb R) : \hat{f} \in L^{p}(\mathbb R) \}.$

My Question is: Can we expect $A^{p}(\mathbb R) \ast A^{p}(\mathbb R) \subset A^{p}(\mathbb R)$ for $1\leq p \leq \infty$?

Edit: Take $1<p\leq \infty$

A: For $f\in A^p$, you know $\widehat{f} \in L^p \cap L^\infty$, since $\mathcal{F} L^1 \subset C_0 \subset L^\infty$ (Riemann Lebesgue Lemma).
Now, for $f,g \in A^p$, you get $f\ast g \in L^1$ (classical result), as well as
$$
\widehat{f\ast g} = \widehat{f} \cdot \widehat{g} \in L^p \cdot L^\infty \subset L^p.
$$
Hence, $f\ast g \in A^p$.

According to local media reports, Wang Tongxin, vice chairman of SMFTU, stated that the immediate investigations conducted by SMFTU found that Foxconn had not breached any laws in the process and it had adopted necessary and timely measures after the incidents happened. However, Wang added that the incidents reflected the loopholes in the company's management system.
Wang said that Foxconn needs to learn lessons from the incidents and set up a humanitarian care system for its employees, most of whom were born in the 80's and even 90's, so they are all quite young. Wang said employees at this age have a strong desire in changing the existing management mode, corporate rules and operation methods, so Foxconn should make proper adjustment and offer necessary guidance for their education and mental development.
Wang said that the trade unions at Foxconn shall further their roles in listening to the voices of the employees and do more work on the company's democratic management.
Since later January 2010, six Foxconn workers have jumped from high buildings in an attempt to kill themselves. Four have succeeded and two were seriously injured.

Nuclear Anything But Unclear
Nuclear physics does seem a bit impenetrable sometimes (!!), but this will have you totally absorbed and on the edge of your seat! Some stunning performances from an excellent cast, led by the wonderful John Heffernan.
Tom Morton-Smith's new play Oppenheimer explores physicist Robert Oppenheimer's scientific leadership of the Manhattan Project, which secretly developed the nuclear weapons that were dropped on Japan in August 1945.
I am so enjoying going to the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford, now we live down the road in the Cotswolds! Something which was not easy from London...First "The Shoemakers' Holiday", and now this amazing play!
My own brush with nuclear physics came about when I met the CERN Atlas Project physicist Lily Asquith, and this resulted in a new piece for cello and piano entitled Towards 5-Sigma
WATCH THE OPPENHEIMER TRAILER HERE
SYNOPSIS (NO SPOILERS - YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE END...)
1939: fascism spreads across Europe, Franco marches on Barcelona and two German chemists discover the processes of atomic fission. In Berkeley, California, theoretical physicists recognise the horrendous potential of this new science: a weapon that draws its power from the very building blocks of the universe. The ambitious and charismatic J Robert Oppenheimer finds himself uniquely placed to spearhead the largest scientific undertaking in all of human history.
Struggling to cast off his radical past and thrust into a position of power and authority, Oppenheimer races to win the 'battle of the laboratories' and create a weapon so devastating that, with the detonation of a single device, it would bring about an end not just to the Second World War but to all war.
As the political situation darkens, Tom Morton-Smith's new play takes us into the heart of the Manhattan Project and explores the tension between the scientific advances that will shape our understanding of the fabric of the universe, and the justification of their use during wartime, revealing the personal cost of making history.


RBL Bank Ltd made a strong stock market debut on Wednesday with its shares listing at a premium of almost 22% to the issue price and extending gains to close 33% higher.
The bank's shares started trading at Rs 273.70 apiece on the BSE compared with the initial public offering price of Rs 225 apiece. The shares touched a high of Rs 305 before ending at Rs 299.30, giving the private-sector lender a market value of Rs 11,068 crore ($1.65 billion). The benchmark BSE Sensex gained 0.4%.
The spectacular listing comes after the initial public offering of RBL Bank Ltd was subscribed almost 70 times, as investors bid heavily for shares of the first private-sector bank to go public in a decade.
RBL Bank joins a string of companies that have made strong market debuts this year. Diagnostics firm Thyrocare surged 48% on its listing day in May. Quess Corp climbed 57% on debut while enzyme maker Advanced Enzyme Technologies Ltd soared 35% on listing.
All these companies also had recorded strong investor interest in their IPOs. Business services provider Quess Corp's IPO covered 144 times while that of Advanced Enzyme got bids for 116 times, making these the biggest and the second-biggest offerings by subscription in eight years. Thyrocare's public offering was covered 73 times.
The success of these IPOs comes after market volatility in the first half of this year had forced several firms to skip their planned share sales. However, a rebound in the secondary markets over the past couple of months has offered hope to companies looking to float IPOs. The benchmark indices are now trading at their highest levels in more than a year.
The lender, earlier known as Ratnakar Bank Ltd, had fixed Rs 224-225 a share as the price band for the IPO. This translated into an issue worth Rs 1,213 crore ($182 million) at the upper end of the price band and valued the lender around $1.25 billion.
RBL Bank had earlier cut the size of the IPO after it raised capital from a bunch of investors in a pre-IPO placement late last year and as its selling shareholders trimmed the offer for sale. The lender cut the size of both the fresh issue and the number of shares on offer for sale.
Originally, it had sought to raise up to Rs 1,100 crore ($162 million then) through a fresh issue of shares and an offer for sale of 17.56 million shares by some shareholders. The revised IPO raised Rs 832.5 crore ($125 million) through the fresh issue and comprised an offer for sale of up to 16.9 million shares.
One of its private equity investors, Beacon India Private Equity Fund, sold all its shares. Gaja Capital and Capvent part-exited in the IPO.
On Wednesday, another private equity firm, TVS Capital, sold shares worth Rs 76 crore in RBL Bank.
RBL Bank had received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on 27 July, nearly a year after it applied. The issue got delayed as the capital markets regulator had asked the bank to resolve the issue of past violations of the Companies Act, wherein it had issued securities to a higher number of subscribers than permitted. SEBI agreed to settle the case in June.
Ahead of the IPO, RBL Bank had raised Rs 364 crore ($54 million) by selling shares to anchor investors including private equity firm ChrysCap and Wipro chairman Azim Premji's investment arm, PremjiInvest.
Before RBL Bank, the last private-sector bank to float an IPO was YES Bank in 2005. In 2010, state-run Punjab & Sind Bank went public.
