Savchenko and Szolkowy win Grand Prix title

Aljona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany won the Pairs event by over 20 points at the 2010-11 Grand Prix Final of Figure Skating.
The 2010 Grand Prix Final concluded with the Pairs Long Program, which added another two medals to the host country's collection.
Aljona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany easily defended their overnight lead to win the title (210.72). China's Qing Pang and Jian Tong remained in second overall (189.93), while teammates Wenjing Sui and Cong Han pulled up to win the bronze medal (179.04).
Skating to Pink Panther and getting fully into the playful character of the music right from the start, the students of Ingo Steuer opened their routine with a powerful throw triple flip, and went on to land a sequence of two triple toe loops. Later in the program they made a mistake on a jump (Savchenko doubled her Salchow), however, the non-disruptive error did not distract from their highly entertaining and yet, commanding performance.
The Germans, who said that they wanted to show a new side of their personalities this season, picked up a risky theme for their free skating. The crowd-pleasing music requires warm support from the audience, but it requires a lot of skill to be able to pull it off without looking silly or childish. The Germans, however, were up to the task, and received 136.32 points and strengthened their overnight lead.
"We are very happy and excited to have skated the way we did today," said Savchenko. "To have won the Final in China is the icing on the cake. This is the first step towards the big championships for us."
"We are very pleased as we were able to improve from one competition to the next," added Szolkowy. "We got a high score yesterday and today again, so we are on the right track. So far, so good, but there are still some elements that we can improve."
When asked about the high level of competition in the Final, the skaters admitted that they did not have many chances to watch other teams skating in Beijing, but added that "It is always good when you have young couples coming up, improving their level and fighting with us".
"As long as we sit here in the middle everything is ok," joked Szolkowy, referring to the center seats the winners take during the press conference.
Pang and Tong, who have shown a lot of improvement since last season, managed to up the level once again this year. While technically their performance to Liebestraum was rather disappointing, the rapport between the skaters and their commitment to all parts of their choreography have never been better. However, with costly mistakes on both jumping passes (Tong singled his Axel, while Pang doubled the toe) and a pair combination spin which received no value, they were unable to challenge the Germans for the title.
"We were very disappointed and dissatisfied," said Tong afterwards, "because our short program score was low and we were disappointed yesterday and we didn't get much sleep last night, thinking it over. So today we only paid attention to the elements and we lacked speed and choreography. Today was very difficult. There is a lot more pressure skating in China. The audience has very high expectations and we really want to skate our best for our fans."
"There is a new transition into the triple toe loop and I just didn't do it well," explained Pang.
The skaters were, however, at a loss to explain why they did not receive any points for the pair spin.
Teammates Sui and Han made two serious mistakes in their charismatic Charlie Chaplin routine, but benefited from a lot of high based values of their program, which featured a throw quad Salchow attempt. Sui double-footed its landing and later fell on her triple toe loop, but the rest of the elements were well done and the enthusiastic support from the home crowd carried the young team all the way through their performance.
"We were disappointed with the mistake on the quad throw," said Han. "We did it so well in practice every time, but today we made a mistake. We had some other mistakes, too. We can do better. The spectators and the circumstances are different in seniors and we're not used to it."
"We like to just focus on ourselves, but of course the experience of competing against top teams is good and we can learn from the other skaters," Han added. "It was our first time at such a big event and in front of home crowd, too. We made the podium, which is something we did not expect, but now we are really excited about it. We approached this competition trying to do things just like we do them in practice, and seeing the scores of the German and the Chinese teams only motivates us to work harder."
Russia's Lubov Iliushechkina and Nodari Maisuradze also pulled one spot up. The highlights of their program to Conquest of Paradise were solid side by side jumps and a level three triple twist, but Iliushechkina two-footed the landing of a throw triple Lutz, and the students of Natalia Pavlova were once again unable to secure maximum levels for their non-jumping elements.
The complexity of their choreography seem to be too much for the team, as they had to rush through some parts of it in order to match the music, and they often failed to hold positions long enough to meet the requirements for the levels. Still, they have been able to improve their personal best to 117.38 and 177.44.
"Today we feel better about our performance (than in the short program)," said Iliushechkina "I'm glad that we did what we had to do."
Teammates Vera Bazarova and Yuri Larionov were unable to hold onto their third place finish in the short program. Their performance to The Man in the Iron Mask soundtrack showed a new, more powerful style and better attack and presence than ever before, but the skaters missed both jumping passes to slip to fifth place overall with 176.80 points.
Canada's Kirsten Moore-Towers and Dylan Moscovitch remained sixth with a sound performance to Les Miserables, which unfortunately lacked the impact of other skaters' routines.
"We both had a really good time even though there was a bit of a glitch on my side in that long program," said Moore-Towers, who fell on a triple Salchow, "but it's a stepping stone for us. We are very lucky to be here and we are embracing and enjoying it."

RWM is immensely pleased to confirm that Tom Szaky will be leading a keynote seminar at the event this year. Tom is the founder of TerraCycle and will be the latest addition to the history of exceptional keynote speakers that have led seminars at RWM, including the likes of Coca-Cola European Partners, Costa Coffee and other waste giants such as Biffa and Suez.
TerraCycle are a company working towards Eliminating the Idea of Waste. Starting in 2001 by Tom Szaky, the company is the world leader in the collection and reuse of non-recyclable post-consumer waste which would otherwise be destined for landfill or incineration. It repurposes that waste into new eco-friendly materials and products. The waste is collected through TerraCycle's National recycling programmes, which are free fundraisers that pay schools, charities and non-profits for every piece of waste they collect and return.
As well as being able to recycle almost any type of waste, TerraCycle forms working partnerships with global brands in order to promote and ensure a truly circular economy. This includes a a number of high profile recent UK partnerships in October of 2018 with the likes of Walkers (Pepsico), Pringles (Kellogg's), Mars Petcare, Colgate and Acuvue to name but a few.
Tom is best known for his work promoting the circular economy through TerraCycle's work. Tom has been able to turn TerraCycle into a multimillion-dollar venture, something that will resonate with the RWM audience, and has done it by promoting a sustainable and tight circular economy.
Tom Szaky CEO and Founder of TerraCycle comments: "There is real momentum in the UK in terms of recycling, sustainability and the circular economy so I am delighted to be speaking at RWM 2019. My keynote presentation will look at how TerraCycle is working towards Eliminating the Idea of Waste. By forming partnerships with leading brands and developing circular economy practices, TerraCycle makes the non-recyclable, recyclable. Plus why society needs to move from disposable to durable / reusable and TerraCycle's groundbreaking work in this area."

Common Ground's products are designed to spark conversation and to inspire steps, regardless of their size, that contribute to progress. We established their brand, designed support materials and illustrated a few of their collection pieces. Common Ground's products pride themselves on exploring sensitive cultural issues and putting the wearer in a unique position of sparking conversations about them. We explored this when creating the main mark for the brand that hides a forward arrow and a pair of shoes. The brand voice we helped establish reminds the wearer to stand up for what you believe in and to make progress every single day.
The most unique thing about the graphics for their shoes is that each shoe isn't an exact match. Instead, they are paired together through color and theme in order to talk about both sides of one issue. We illustrated graphics for the Marriage Equality and Immigration shoes that abstractly depict each side of both issues.

Decorator is clearly not the right word to use for Pasha, but he transcends categories. He's another artisan we were introduced to by our builder, Chris Nielson, who thought of him to distress the beams in our barn. Let me back up here. This barn is new construction (in fact, it isn't even finished) but Andy won't be happy until it looks as if it's weathered at least 150 years. Very tough years. So the original wood and iron beams that hold up the framework have been lovingly and carefully wrapped with redwood by one of Chris's crew. And now Andy wants to bring in someone to gouge, mar, scratch and otherwise abuse the work this poor guy has worked on so carefully.
Pasha was the head restorer at two 1000-year old cathedrals: St. Basil's Cathedral in Red Square in preparation for the 1980 Olympics (Yup, that's the one we boycotted because the USSR invaded Afghanistan. See that's back when we SUPPORTED the Taliban) and St. Sophia Cathedral in Kiev. It was while Pasha was on site at St. Sophia that a KGB agent came in and told him, as the head of restoration, he was now responsible for entertaining an important delegation from America. Seems Kiev had just been named a Sister City with a place called Sonoma. "And", the KGB agent added, "There is no budget or stipend for entertainment expenses. Figure it out." With only a few hours and no money, Pasha came up with the idea of serving the visiting Americans a "simple Ukrainian Artists' Lunch". He dressed up the altar (which was under construction) with dropcloths and wildflowers, then scavenged what he could: eggs and honey that his crew was using to mix into their tempura paints, apples that they grabbed from the nearby monastery orchards, and the Ukrainian equivalent of fatback or pork scratchings. But it was the super high-proof Vodka that they sweetened up with honey that really did the trick. Everyone had a roaring good time, Pasha ended up with good friends in Sonoma and, well, the rest is history.
Actually, he's not talking on this subject. (And it may be the only subject Pasha doesn't have a half an hour of stories on.) Andy asked if he used a chisel. "Chisel Schmizzl", said Pasha, clearly not prepared to share trade secrets.
Anyway, Pasha and his wife and crew can do it all. Got a priceless antique to be restored? Want the walls in your house to look like a 400 year old Tuscan castle? Want something built that looks like it came out of a Russian Dacha from Doctor Zhivago? Not a problem.
Well, a slight problem. I heard from one of the carpenters that the job foreman at our barn was ready to dissolve into tears as Pasha showed up today and began attacking those newly wrapped beams with his Chisel Schmizzl.

Leaked text messages underscore rift between Obama and Putin
Photos by Elizabeth Cromwell / Kremlin: Wikimedia Commons
Leaked text messages between Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin show how strained the relationship between the two presidents has become. The exchanges also give insight into how the formerly collegial leaders often result to name-calling and innuendo in response to diplomatic scuffles.
WikiLeaks obtained the transcripts of 103 conversations between Obama and Putin, accounting for almost 25,000 characters — proof the two men are in frequent contact despite recent slights, including Russia's granting of asylum to NSA leaker Edward Snowden and Obama's cancellation of a September summit with Putin.
The leaked transcripts were obtained from the US telecommunications firm Verizon, President Obama's cell phone provider. The exchanges between the two men date from April 16, 2013 to Friday.
The transcripts show that the two leaders have an on-again, off-again relationship. Psychologists say the exchanges are what they would expect from feuding teenage couples, not from the presidents of two of the most powerful nations on Earth. The frequent personal attacks followed by a series of fervent apologies — that are quickly retracted — show a high level of emotional manipulation and insecurity, says Roberta Rocha, a professor of psychology at the University of Wyoming.
Political analysts say that the transcripts reveal how fraught with resentment the relationship between Russia and the United States has become. Painful memories, going back to the Cold War, seem to be at the root of the strained relationship, and recent disagreements appear to be used as an excuse to give the other leader a guilt trip about old wounds.
Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper and French president François Hollande are said to be in talks to determine if an intervention between Obama and Putin should be arranged, or if perhaps the two should enter into joint counselling.
Below are some of the text messages that were leaked. The times indicated are Eastern Standard Time (EST).

EFF Defends Right to Read Public Web Pages Without Getting Sued
Brief Supports Past Court Opponent DirecTV
San Francisco - The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed a brief this week in support of one of its previous court opponents, DirecTV, arguing that a federal appeals court should throw out a lawsuit against the company for accessing a public website.
DirecTV is being sued by Michael Snow, the publisher of an anti-DirecTV website that contained warnings to DirecTV employees that they were not authorized to enter. In its friend-of-the-court brief to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, EFF argues that the federal Stored Communications Act, on which Snow's suit relies, only protects websites that are configured to be private.
"If you want to keep your website private, then you should protect it with a password," said EFF Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston. "The law doesn't allow web publishers to sue when people they don't like visit their site. Otherwise, any company could publish terms of service forbidding competitors, consumer watchdogs, journalists, or even government officials from scrutinizing a public website." Under Snow's theory, not only could such unauthorized visitors be sued, they could also be prosecuted and sent to prison.
Snow is asking the appeals court to overturn the district court's dismissal of his case. EFF agrees with DirecTV that the case should have been dismissed, but argues that the lower court's reasoning for dismissal was flawed.
"The district court made the right decision but based on the wrong reasons, threatening the legal protections for private web communications," Bankston said. "The appeals court needs to clarify that although public websites aren't protected by federal privacy laws, sites that are actually configured to be private are fully covered."
EFF has opposed DirecTV in the past for its legal campaign against "smart cards," and co-sponsors a website, www.directvdefense.org, designed to help those who have been sued by DirecTV. However, as Bankston said, "When it comes to protecting the rights of Internet users, EFF doesn't hold a grudge. We may oppose DirecTV in other cases, but here, it's plainly on the correct side."
The US Internet Industry Association, whose membership includes many web hosts that offer private web services, joined EFF on the brief.

Most of us don't know what it is like to have a close call with death. But many who do find themselves reflecting about the road behind, the road you are currently traveling as well as the road you are steering towards both in your personal and business life. Self employment does blend these two lives and it can be a blessing and curse at the same time.
As the dust settled, Ed wanted to celebrate and have his closest friends come to his West Hollywood Hills home, also known as Libbyland, to party, celebrate and honor life.
No red and blue plastic cups, a keg of beer and pretzels for an event designer and florist. Heaven Can Wait showcases the incredible artistry this man possess. Pure talent.
On November 17th, 2011 I met Ed along with party planner Debbie Geller (Geller Events) and Ellen Black (Lehr & Black Custom Invitations) and spent about two hours waiting for our flight back to the U.S. I happened to mention I was feeling finished with Chicago, and wanted to move myself and business back to CA. Clearly, I was scared because I had not one connection, and the thought of moving my business backwards was making me sick.
I never showed them my work. But when the three of them landed in their respective cities (NYC and Los Angeles), they connected with one another after reviewing my website. Within 2 months the whirlwind adventure that is my life now began with my first trip to LA and at the same time landing the Mario Lopez engagement session as well as the Mario Lopez wedding.
Since then, Ed and I have hugged, kissed, fought and laughed. We are two artists with strong personalities. Even in our down times, he always set that aside to help me connect with the industry's best. Aside from networking, Ed has opened up both his homes in NYC and LA to relax, swim, eat and drink. No working, just experiencing life and living in the moment. The two worlds of knowing him personally as well as a business friend are wonderful to share.
Clearly over the years I have patiently waited to spray pixels across his events (for you non photographers, that is just a way of saying 'to photograph'). Never in my life did I expect that to occur at one of his events in his private home. Nervous, yes. Scared, absolutely. So who do you call? Chadd Foy. Nothing happens without The Chadd. Having him around while I work is knowing that whatever I miss, he captures. This boy always has my back. And considering I knew 75 percent of the folks attending, getting my job completed and being social was going to cause me more anxiety. Chadd, thank you again for helping me stay calm. It has been an incredible 7 years with you.
Ed. Truly what an honor. You are one of the best at what you do and I know you could have asked anyone to document your party. Having you as a client and a fellow vendor at the same time was much more than I expected. I am no longer an Ed Libby & Co virgin.
It is now my pleasure to give back to you. Let the images I created and the album we will construct say thank you. You are loved.

Georgia Politics
The Medical Minute
Former Emory President Jim Wagner On New Realities Of Campus Politics; Georgia's Aviation History
By Bill Nigut • Sep 10, 2016

Our first guest on this edition of "Two Way Street" is Jim Wagner. He's just stepped down as president of Emory University, retiring after 13 years in that position. During his tenure at Emory, Wagner presided over a dramatic expansion of the school's work in scientific research and public health, recruited prestigious world figures like Salman Rushdie and the Dalai Lama to join the Emory faculty and oversaw the largest increase in fundraising in the school's history.
His time at Emory also coincided with a period in which the tension between free speech and political correctness escalated to new highs. On campuses everywhere minority students protested when they felt they were being defamed or marginalized, clashes increased between pro-Palestinian student groups and Jewish students as they each sought to promote their own agenda and numerous university administrations were pressured into cancelling graduation speakers when students rose up to object to the speakers' political leanings.
Bringing Wagner into the "Two Way Street" studio for what essentially was an exit interview gave us the opportunity to hear his thoughts on the new realities of campus political life and much more.

Later in the show, author Dan Aldridge talks with us about aviation first that happened in Georgia but that the history books have largely ignored. In his book "To Lass the Clouds: The Beginning of Aviation in Georgia," Aldridge tells the story of two Athens men – Ben Epps, Sr. and Zumpt Huff, who became the first Americans to successfully fly a single wing aircraft – a monoplane. They made their flight in a field outside of Athens in April of 1909, some six years after the Wright Brothers' historic first flight – made in a biplane. Aldridge tells us the story of this Georgia aviation first, and explains why history has forgotten Epps and Huff.

Belarusian opposition leader asks Prague for political asylum

Former Belarusian presidential candidate Ales Mikhalevich, who is charged with organizing mass disorder in Minsk during post-election demonstrations in December, has asked for political asylum in the Czech Republic.
The Czech Foreign Ministry spokesman Vit Kolar told BelaPan news agency that the process of obtaining the asylum has already began. "Mikhalevich feels well and is currently in a refugee camp on the outskirts of the city of Brno," he said. Earlier, the information was also confirmed by the Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg."I personally know Mr Mikhalevich and I am confident that the Czech Republic should grant him asylum as it is in line with our traditions. Mr Mikhalevich shares same values as we do and I appreciate his courage," quotes RIA Novosti citing Schwarzenberg's interview with newspaper Pravo.According to earlier reports, the 35-year-old fled to Prague through Russia and Ukraine. In a message he posted in his LiveJournal blog on March 14, the opposition presidential candidate said he was "in a secure place, out of reach of the Belarusian KGB (State Security Committee)". Mikhalevich vowed to continue his fight against torture in Belarus and for the release of all those who were detained on "political motives".On Thursday, Mikhalevich's wife Milana told BelaPAN she had no plans to leave Belarus with her two children. Mikhalevich was among six other presidential candidates arrested in Minsk on the night of December 20, when opposition supporters took to the streets to protest of election result which secured Aleksandr Lukashenko a fourth term in office. The rally was violently suppressed by riot police. Over 600 people were detained. Mikhalevich was released two months later, on February 19, on written undertaking not to leave the place. Several days later, the politician stated he was tortured while in custody and pledged not cooperate with the Belarusian KGB, "who are ready for anything" and act illegally, cited opposition website Charter'97.The ex-opposition candidate is among 37 people who face criminal charges in a case opened after the December 19 protest rally. Among the suspects are ex-presidential candidates Andrey Sannikov, Vladimir Nelkyayev, and Vitaly Rymashevsky. On Friday, charges were brought against two other former presidential candidates – chairman of the Belarusian Social Democratic Party Nikolay Statkevich and Dmitry Uss. The politicians are accused of organizing "mass disorder" and may face up to 15 years behind bars if found guilty."The investigation into this criminal case has yielded irrefutable proof, including evidence and testimony given by witnesses and others accused, and photos and video materials indicating the suspects' involvement in the organization of the December 19, 2010 mass riots," Konstantin Shalkevich, acting head of the information and public relations department of the Belarusian Interior Ministry, told Interfax.

Bradley Cooper Tells the *Real* Story of How He and "Fiancée" Amy Schumer Met
"Who is this person screaming at me?"
By Chelsea Peng
He might have preferred the Benedict Cumberbatch method of making one's engagement known to the public (placing an announcement in the Times—classy AF), but Bradley Cooper is still crazy in (platonic) love with Amy Schumer and would like the world (and Howard Stern) to know their true origin story.
"She wasn't [hitting on me]," he said (via the Daily Beast) of that time the comedienne approached him at the Time 100 event. "But I do remember her coming to sit down because we had an awkward exchange at the MTV Movie Awards where we didn't know each other, and she was sort of yelling my name and then I looked over and was like, 'Hey,' and then we talked. But at first, it was like, 'Who is this person screaming at me?'"
Note to self: Screaming works.
It became something of a running joke between them, they saw each other again, and the bit about Cooper not letting her leave—the one that made it into her Saturday Night Live monologue—CAME TRUE.
There's no telling who's luckier to have whose friendship, so let's call it a draw, then imagine what it'll be like when they inevitably have a margarita/poker night with mutual buddy JLaw.

POLITICAL MALPRACTICE? NOT RON PAUL but maybe KEN BLACKWELL INSTEAD!
Posted on November 18, 2012. Tags: 1830s, 1861, American Revolution, Confederates, Congressman Ron Paul, First State To Secede From The Union, Interviewers, John C Calhoun, John Hancock, Ohio Governor, Ohio Secretary Of State, Ohio Secretary Of State Ken Blackwell, Ron Paul, Samuel Adams, Secession, Secession Movement, Secretary Of State Ken Blackwell, Slaves, Unalienable Rights, Valedictory Address
Former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, who I admire and respect very much and who ought to have been Ohio Governor, turns a clever and nice phrase about Ron Paul's speech in this column found at Townhall:
Congressman Ron Paul has just delivered his valedictory address in the House of Representatives. And he has told TV interviewers that the American Revolution was a wonderful example of secession. He's a much better OB/GYN, I'm sure, than he is a student of America's history. He could be cited for political malpractice.
Was the American Revolution an example of secession? Well, if secession is defined as an attempt of one part of a nation or empire to seek independence, than the American Revolution was indeed that. But I would submit the Revolution was a fight for liberty, started in 1775 when British forces attempted to seize an arsenal and two leaders (Samuel Adams and John Hancock) and the next day fighting commenced. It was more than a year before the United States declared independence.
But it gets worse for Blackwell:
Then, again, why is it that the Confederates of 1861 did not claim that their Secession movement was an exercise of the right of revolution? They were careful not to call it revolution. That's because if they as slaveholders had a right of revolution–to secure what they regarded as their unalienable rights–then so did their slaves.
Maybe the Confederates did not call their effort for independence revolution because perhaps they felt they acted within the law? EVERY state that seceded acted through their legislature or through a properly called convention:
The first state to secede from the Union was South Carolina. Significantly, this was not the first time that the people of South Carolina had discussed secession. During the debate over tariffs in the 1830s, South Carolina seriously considered secession. Fortunately, John C. Calhoun helped to solve the problem and South Carolina remained in the Union. But on December 20th, 1860, South Carolina held a secession convention in Charleston. The debate was quick and short. Representatives voted unanimously, 169 to 0 for secession. The rupture of the Union had finally occurred, and the secession of South Carolina opened the floodgates as four more states from the Deep South quickly joined her.
In early January 1861, Mississippi held a convention in Jackson to consider secession. Delegates voted 84 to 15 to secede from the Union. On January 9th, 1861, Mississippi joined South Carolina. Florida joined the secession ranks the next day on January 10th. Her convention had met in Tallahassee and had voted 62 to 7 for secession. On January 11th, Alabama passed her secession resolution. The Alabama delegation had met in Montgomery and had voted 61 to 39 for secession. On January 19th, Georgia called delegates to Milledgeville and voted 209 to 89 for secession. A weeks later Louisiana became the sixth state to leave the Union. Her convention met in Baton Rouge on January 26th and voted 113 to 17 for secession. Ironically, as Louisiana was leaving the Union, Kansas was admitted on January 29th.
Texas was the seventh state to leave the Union. On, February 1st, Texans met in Austin and voted 166 to 7 for secession. Interestingly, the Union commander of the Department of Texas was Brigadier General David Twiggs, a Georgian. Upon secession, he ordered all military forces and stores under his command turned over to Texas authorities. On March 1st, the United States dismissed Twiggs from the Regular Army. Two months later in May 1861, the Confederate States appointed him Major General in the Provisional Army of the Confederacy.
The first was Virginia. On April 17th, Virginia, the traditional leader of the South, passed a succession bill 88 to 55. Significantly, Virginians had voted down a similar bill on April 4th, by a vote of 89 to 45.
Lincoln followed Virginia's succession with an order to blockade all Southern ports. On May 3rd, Lincoln called for 42,000 three-year volunteers. Arkansas then joined the Confederacy on May 6th. The state convention had met at Little Rock and had voted 69 to 1 for secession. Tennessee seceded the same day. Earlier, on February 9th, Tennessee had held a statewide election and had rejected secession by a vote of 68,282 to 59,449. But with Lincoln's call for more volunteers, the Tennessee State Convention met at Jackson. Delegates voted 66 to 25 for secession.
A week later, on May 13th, Great Britain declared its neutrality. On May 16th, the Confederate Congress authorized the recruiting of 400,000 volunteers. Four days later, on May 20th, 1861, North Carolina became the last state to join the new Confederacy. State delegates met in Raleigh and voted unanimously for secession. All of the states of the Deep South had now left the Union.
This was not an insurrection or a coup d'etat for which the Federal certainly could defend the states from! Blackwell confuses lawful secession by states with revolution.
What Ron Paul is talking about is dangerous. Those of us who are dissatisfied with the election results–and there are millions of us–have no recourse but to ballots. There must be no recourse from ballots to bullets, said Jefferson. Said Lincoln.
No one contends Ron Paul called for violent overthrow – except apparently Ken Blackwell! In fact, nullification of South Carolina over the tariff was indeed illegal and unconstitutional: The tariff was the exclusive province of the Federal government! Nullification is really a political weapon and only works when enough states act and cause the Congress to decide this is too hot politically. Case in point: Real ID. The Federal government tried to institute a national ID card but so many states said no that they had to back down – not because they could not exercise their power to make the states do it but it because the issue became too controversial politically.
It is ironic that Blackwell cites Lincoln and suggests that the South was responsible for the loss of life in the so-called Civil War:
If Ron Paul wants to advocate revolution or civil war, he should say so openly. If he wants to invoke the right of revolution, he should tell his followers to count the cost. We suffered 630,000 dead in the Civil War. Is he willing to lose that many again? Or, with our population increase, ten times that many?
First the 630,000 dead number is not accurate: It's more than that. However, I must ask the question again: Did Lincoln have the right to forcibly stop secession of states when they acted through their elected representatives to do so? If so, Blackwell is right. BUT IF NOT, then the South is not responsible for these deaths: Lincoln and the North is. Yes the Confederates fired the first shot. However, they were goaded into it by Lincoln's attempt to rearm Fort Sumter.
Ken Blackwell takes the position that secession is revolution and thus illegal. It's still a free country. He has that right and I defend his right to say it. But who's committing political malpractice? While the Confederacy was foolish and silly to break the Union over slavery and alleged racial superiority, that is not an answer to the question of: Was it legal and constitutional? Even if so, I do not support secession today. I do not want to choose a new flag, new laws, a new history nor a new citizenship. Let's retake the government we have – through elections!

grumpyt says:
Our Nation has been taken over and the election was a farce. Fraud was rampant and the talk of Secession is the only way that citizens have found, so far, to express their outrage at what has happened. The voting Takers now out numbers the voting Providers and it seems that we have moved to either selfishness or apathy as in "The historical cycle seems to be: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to apathy; from apathy to dependency; and from dependency back to bondage once more".
Our Nation needs Faith and Courage to return to Liberty. Right (correct) from wrong needs to be taught in the home and schools again.
And one last thing, biscuits should be made with LARD, not some fake partially hydrogenated GMO fake "fat"! It would solve a lot of problems.

Kenya population to hit 73 million by 2030
Africa, International
By Musembi Nzengu
The Kenyan population is projected to shoot to shoot to 73 million people by the year 2030, a population expert said yesterday. The National Council for Population and Development deputy director for policy and research Vane Lumumba said yesterday the rapid population growth rate would stifle economic growth.
She said it was thus imperative to manage the country's population. "The country's population growth that stood at 38 million in 2009 will balloon to 73 million by the year 2030 going by the current growth rate. That will put a strain on social services and retard the country's economy," said Lumumba.
She was speaking at a Kitui hotel yesterday during a family planning campaign briefing. It was official opened by the Kitui county deputy governor Peninnah Malonza.
Lumumba said in order for the country to avoid both the population explosion and economic stagnation Kenyans must embrace family planning and the use of contraceptives.
She said it was important for the both national and county government to manage populations. "We need to manage our population to attain the desired economic growth. The answer lies in the use of contraceptives," she said adding that even Kenyans whose faith was against artificial family planning contraceptives could use natural methods.
The director said with a well-managed and controlled population, the country would save a hopping Sh20 billion to grow the economy.
She lamented that failure to embrace contraceptive lead to unwanted pregnancies and worst still a high numbers of abortions. Malonza expressed worry over the birth rate in Kitui County that surpasses the national tally.
She said while nationally the birth rate tally for a single woman was 4.6 children that of Kitui stood at 5.1 children per woman. She lamented that the rapid growth in population put a big strain on the available resources.
She further noted that the populations was an important resource in development and that the need to manage and control population.

One Comment on "Kenya population to hit 73 million by 2030"
piankiPianki Says:
So I guess you want to install a U.S based abortion provider Parent Planned Parenthood Hood. Black American Women aborted over 18 million black babies from 1973 thru 2008, is this what Kenya wants? Why not put in place the correct activites that will assure food production, health and education? The U.S is constantly permitting certain immigrants to enter to boost it's population while advising others to cut theirs. Something sound wrongs to me.Nigeria population projection is over 700 million by 2100. What a economic market this will be so why not Kenya?

Q: pointer to an array derefferencing following is a section of code that I have written:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
    int (*p)[2];
    int a[2] = {0, 1};
    p = &a;
    printf("p = %x\n",p);
    printf("&p = %x\n",&p);
    printf("a = %x\n",a);
    printf("&a = %x\n",&a);
    printf("*p = %x\n",*p);
    printf("*a = %x\n",*a);
}

Following is the output which I got:
p = bfd387c8
&p = bfd387c4
a = bfd387c8
&a = bfd387c8
*p = bfd387c8
*a = 0

Now I have this doubt that how could p and *p be equal. Actually p = a;*a = 0;
then why *p is not equal to 0 also. Please this is my first question  at stack
overflow.Please help me out.

A: your program should look like this:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int (*p)[2];
    int a[2] = {0, 1};
    p = &a;
    printf("p = %p\n",(void*)p);
    printf("&p = %p\n",(void*)&p);
    printf("a = %p\n",(void*)a);
    printf("&a = %p\n",(void*)&a);
    printf("*p = %p\n",(void*)*p);
    printf("*a = %x\n",*a);
    printf("**p = %x\n",**p);
    return 0;
}

You should use %p and cast to (void*) to print pointer.
p points to the array a (which implies a == &a) and so p == *p. To get the first value of the array you have to use **p because it is an pointer to the array.

A: Except when it is the operand of the sizeof or unary & operators, or is a string literal being used to initialize another array in a declaration, an expression of type "N-element array of T" will be converted ("decay") to an expression of type "pointer to T", and the value of the expression will be the address of the first element of the array.
When you declare an array, it's laid out in memory like so:
          +---+
  arr[0]: |   |
          +---+
  arr[1]: |   |
          +---+
           ...
          +---+
arr[N-1]: |   |
          +---+

Notice that there's no separate arr variable to store the address of the first element of the array; the address of the first element is the same as the address of the whole array.
Thus, the values of the expressions arr and &arr are the same, but the types are different (T * vs. T (*)[N]).
Since p evaluates to &a and *p evaluates to a, and since &a and a yield the same value, then p and *p will also yield the same value.
(*p)[0] == a[0] == *a == 0

Wineyard Shelter
Ramón Esteve Estudio
The house is located in the municipality of Fontanars, on the outskirts of the village surrounded by large acreages. The project seeks the maximum environmental and landscape integration because of its border location between a zone of pine forests and the grapevine fields, being diluted practically in the vegetation. To this contributes the decision to develop the entire program in a single plant, in addition to the material chosen, which provides shade consistent with the place.
GENERATING FORMS
"This countryside retreat generated from the idea of a standard traditional rural house with its pitched roof, applying a new concept of space afterwards". Ramón Esteve
The geometry consists in mapping the line edge that defines the traditional house to extrude it after, forming an envelope under which will be developed throughout the project. That line-concept, turned into a long concrete shell that organizes the dwellings ́ program and is crossed transversely by the rooms materialized as pine wood containers.
The project seeks the maximum integration landscape and environment, due to the location of the border between an area of pine forest and the fields.
"The house is composed by two monolithic structures forming two large blocks made of different materials, the first one made of white concrete, both inside and outside, cut across by structural surfaces made of thermally-modified pine wood". Ramón Esteve
ENVIRONMENT AND LANDSCAPE
The access to the plot is through a path surrounded by olive trees. In the background, you can see the house, hidden by groups of cypresses, poplars and pine trees. You enter the house through one of the wooden structures. The concrete central space is a fluid common area dominated by a big replace towards which all the rooms are opened. From the inside, the views are framed by the pine wood surfaces that intersect the central space. By being considered a second residence, both these structures and the porches can be totally locked when the house is not inhabited.
A wide porch, placed at the end of the house, completes the home. It provides a lounge area linked to a dual landscape, on one side the immediate views of the pine forest, on the other side those of the vineyard. The house is modulated by the timber planks of 20 cm. that built the wooden boxes and also the timber formwork for pouring concrete.
Also the pinewood furniture and the carpentry for this retreat have been specifically designed following the same modulation. Both materials, white concrete and timber, are coherent with the nature of the structure.
"Environmentally, it follows the guidelines for a passive house. Appropriate means are available to take advantage of renewable energy through the use of panels of solar energy, energy supply from biomass or collecting and storing drinkable rain water". Ramón Esteve
The energy saving is optimized thanks to the materials used and a thermal insulation of rock wool with great insulating ability. Also, the installation of lighting is energy-effcient due to a control system that optimizes the use of natural light.
WORK PROCESS
The project pursues a monolithic image of the materials so it can express, in the same inner and outer way, a means to achieve essentiality.
Thus, both the concrete shell and the wooden boxes are presented in the same way inside and out, preserving materiality and texture.
The shell functions as a self-compacting reinforced concrete sandwich with isolation core.
Boxes made of pine wood are made according to a balloon frame system that structures them with a succession of uprights and crossbars, simplifying the execution of the same.

Lucky Luke: Rodeo
UK publisher / ISBN: Cinebook - 978-1-84918-259-1
English language release date: 2015
Original publication language: French
Categories: All-Ages, European, Humour, Western
Rodeo is the longest Lucky Luke album, the three strips included coming in at just under sixty pages, and the title strip marks an important evolution for Lucky Luke. In stories leading up to it collected in Dick Digger's Gold Mine and Arizona, creator Morris began including larger and busier panels, escaping from the restriction of four tiers of three panels per page. The title page of 'Rodeo' (sample art) sees him take the leap into the full half page illustration, the busy life to it simply wonderful. It may be no big deal now, but bear in mind Morris produced these stories in 1948. He includes several more half pagers later in the story, and again in 'Desperado City', where Morris makes us wait, but it's a gem, and by including these panels offering a long viewpoint he's created a Lucky Luke trademark.
In these stories Luke and Jolly Jumper still haven't entirely arrived at their familiar look, although Luke's lost the massive chin of earlier appearances. Morris' cartooning has been good right from the start, but 1948 he'd lost the Disney influence and was developing a style more suited to the comedy Westerns he wanted to produce. It's also noticeable that his storytelling skills had greatly improved, as his gags are far more compact and thought through, no longer as laboured. In all three stories he has the confidence to have Luke off panel for several pages. Once Morris created the Daltons they'd in effect become co-stars, enabling Luke's frequent absences, but those Morris concentrates on here aren't as interesting, or as funny.
That really applies to the stories as a whole. By 1948 Morris was more aware of pacing, but his staging still hasn't entirely developed and compared with the compact ease with which he'd later sell a gag, those here are stiff. The villains Luke is pitted against, the Cactus Kid, and the Pistol Brothers, are variations on the common thug, although they're nicely designed, and the final story features several characters looking as if they're homages to the US newspaper strip Mutt and Jeff. Despite Luke spending half the story in jail, 'The Buffalo Creek Gold Rush' tops the previous work, making points about human greed as well as having the best jokes.
Although Arizona follows this album, both as published in English by Cinebook and in the original French continuity, the stories it presents are actually earlier material, and Morris would next work on Under A Western Sky. This, Arizona and Dick Digger's Gold Mine are also combined in hardcover as the first volume of Lucky Luke: The Complete Collection, where some long lost pages are restored, ensuring those reprints live up to the 'Complete' portion of the title.

We have a new goal!
Thanks to the generosity of so many, and to the strength and tenacity of the climbers, we reached our $150,000 fundraising goal! Thanks to each and every one of you who contributed and have helped us get this far! You can check out photos from the climb here.
While in Kilimanjaro, we didn't just climb the mountain (though, yes, we did that too!): we visited the Local Hero Brenda Shuma and her team, met the children, took a tour of the future Centre, and GO Campaign's CEO met with the building contractors and went over the plans and budget in detail. We quickly learned that we need $150,000 to build a sufficient dormitory for both parents and caregivers. It will welcome them from all over Africa, offering them a safe and comfortable place to stay and train on how to care for their special needs children. This model will keep families together instead of separating them, and will empower families to care for their special needs children at home and show the community that these children deserve to have their lives valued and should no longer be shunned by society. The $150,000 you've raised for the dorm will change the lives of countless children, their families, and their communities.
Our new goal of $188,5o0 will build the dorm and a vocational workshop. Not only do these children need to learn, they need the skills to have a job and be independent. The workshop will give kids a place to learn trades in order to return to their communities as breadwinners, elevating their place in the community and gaining the respect they deserve. By helping them be productive members of the community, we'll be helping to change perspectives of individuals with disabilities for generations to come.
As many of you may know, I am attempting to climb Kilimanjaro for a cause. This will be an experience of a lifetime and I am hoping to use this as an opportunity to help a cause that is particularly important to me: providing opportunities to children who otherwise may have none.
Before and after the climb, I will also be spending time with special needs children at the Gabriella Centre – a home and rehabilitation centre for children with intellectual challenges at the base of Kilimanjaro. Our group has set a fundraising goal of $100,000 which will build a dorm for parents right at the Centre, allowing parents to come and work with their children and get caregiver training, thus allowing the children to stay in their homes and not have to be separated from their families or communities.
Through intensive therapy care and education, Gabriella Centre has already transformed the lives of 900 children with disabilities and their families. With our help, they will be able to help so many more.
I hope you will join me in building this incredible legacy by supporting my climb up Africa's tallest mountain! 100% of your donation is fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
God willing, we'll be climbing 15,440 feet (to the 19,341 ft peak). I'm asking you to sponsor us a penny, or ¢5 or ¢10 for every foot we climb. Or maybe you'd like to donate a certain amount for every day of the 6-day climb. No amount is too small, and 100% will go to help these children, currently discarded by society, whose potential is just waiting to be unlocked and celebrated.
Thank you in advance for being part of my journey up Kilimanjaro.


best fat burners for women You know that I am committed to best fat burners uk help you use the best training programs, still the best nutrition plan , and get your best results ever. I also spent best fat burners for women correcting common fitness myths men Fitness Magazine.
Fitness myths hinder your progress,best fat burners UK because they tend to give FALSE hopes and wasting time with ineffective exercises and techniques of nutrition.
best fat burners UK This is a difficult myth to support, because I really believe that green tea should be at the top of the list of beverages from around the world. However, despite research suggesting that green tea can help you lose weight best fat burners UK , I do not agree with the experts say green tea increases your enough to help you lose fat metabolism .
best fat burners UK So here is my point, and a point at home at the end compared to the de- chaff green tea.
There are two reasons that green tea does not cause your body to burn large amounts of fat. First, the actual increase in green tea metabolism is very low,best fat burners UK even if you take several doses of green tea each day best fat burners for women.
Second, your body will probably be used for this. If you look at the research, there are studies that show a strong increase in the metabolism of caffeine supplementation. However, when looking at the big picture,best fat burners UK you soon realize that a person loses weight with caffeine supplements best fat burners UK.
And this is why I do not think that green tea helps you lose weight. However, green tea can help you lose fat by best fat burners UK substituting other beverages that contain a lot of calories and sugar.
The theme of green tea and metabolism is a moot point , though, is not it ? Never suggest breaking green tea simply because it may not increase your metabolism. There are too many benefits of drinking green tea is not best fat burners for women ( you had yours today , right?) .
Now, after all this, there is a lesson to learn.
best fat burners UK I was recently asked me if decaffeinated green tea is as effective as regular green tea . And the answer seems to be, " not always " .
From what I 'Ave read,best fat burners for women the process of decaffeinated uses a common chemical that removes very important compounds in green tea . These compounds not only cause the metabolism boosting properties of green tea, but also many health benefits of green tea.
best fat burners for women If you choose decaffeinated green tea (like me) ,best fat burners UK choose the naturally decaffeinated green tea , green tea is not what has been decaffeinated with ethyl acetate.
For now,best fat burners UK I'll stick with organic green tea can be found in regular grocery stores . As a person who does not drink a lot of caffeine ( no coffee ) , I find that there are days where I feel the caffeine in green tea, but not to the point of nervousness or restlessness .

Assault Intervention - Risk Reduction Methodology
School Partnership Grant
The Assault Intervention - Risk Reduction Assessment was developed through a School Partnership Grant #98SWVX0127 in cooperation with the following agencies:
Metropolitan Nashville Police Department
Metropolitan Nashville Juvenile Court
Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools
Oasis Center, Incorporated
This assessment was designed by subject matter experts from law enforcement, counseling, schools and juvenile courts. Hundreds of referrals for counseling were screened and the referrals for assaults were separated for use in this project. Questionaires were initially designed by Oasis Center, Incorporated (Oasis Center is where the Public School system sends young people for counseling). A database of characteristics was developed from those individuals who had been sent to counseling for assaulting peers or teachers. Background and behavior patterns were compiled from Juvenile Justice professionals. Risk factors were those factors that surfaced again and again with these individuals who had already assaulted others. The group of subject matter experts met and evaluated the risk factors that had been derived earlier and these risk factors were weighted as to expected importance in indicating likely aggression or imminent assault.
Minor (group concensus) risk factors were given little weight and major risk factors were given higher weights. A combination of weighted factors were then necessary to show that the student was at risk. (For example) Gang membership was a high risk factor with quite a bit of research and experience to show that there is an increased risk for a gang member to assault other people. Gang membership alone was not enough to give this student a high risk assessment. Add depression and repeated acts of rage over seemingly inconsequential issues and you are closer to a high risk student. After-school activites, mentoring and supervision were the biggest factors to ameliorate the bad risks. Many factors couldn't be changed but they were still factors to be considered. These factors are shown - generally with supporting research by others (for that one, single factor). Two hundred forty (240) juveniles were evaluated by School Resource Officers in Nashville Davidson County (full time uniformed Metro Police Officers assigned to the Metro Nashville Public School System) and the students' scores reflected their performance (non-weapon assaults) on the assessment very closely. The students were well known to the officers and students who scored at the highest risk levels had already been counseled or arrested for fighting at some previous time. Most students scored very low risk on the assessment. A few students had one or two acts that raised their risk factor.
The numerical score was removed so "scoring" would not become a self fulfilling prophecy for students evaluated by the assessment. Recommendations at the end of each assessment are generally factors that could be changed for that individual - there may not be many or enough good factors to rehabilitate a troubled youth but, at least there are some starting points for intervention listed. Most school systems do not have School Resource Officers to evaluate students but combinations of community, school, and criminal justice resources are effective in reducing violence in school. Future data (normalized data from other areas of the U.S.) will further refine the assessment as will evaluation of predictive models (using a variation of interpretive structural modeling designed by Dr. John Warfield to help resolve complex issues in societal systems - or design in any system).
This project was supported by grant #98SBWX0127 awarded by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, U.S. Department of Justice. Points of view or opinions contained within this document are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the official positions or policies of the U.S. Department of Justice.
The primary group consisted of Joe Anderson (Metro School Security Coordinator), Lieutenant Coleman Beard (Metropolitan Police School Resource Officer Coordinator and Project Director), Sergeant Scott Duncan (Metropolitan Police Planning/Accreditation), Judy Freudenthal, EdD., LPC, LAODAC (Oasis Center Clinical Director), Captain Ken Pence (Metropolitan Nashville Police Grant Coordinator - Computer CGI/HTML Scripting- Interpretive Structural Modeling), and Gary Lukowski, PhD (Metropolitan Nashville Juvenile Court for Judge Betty Adams).
The test was scripted and edited by the group and while putting links to intervention, not before, the Early Warning - Timely Response information site was discovered and linked. This information went on to confirm almost all the common indicators derived from the counseled and incarcerated juveniles and parallelled the risk factors defined by our database. Links were then added to substantiate questions and provide relevant resources. Intervention strategies integrated into the test provides teachers and administrators a easy, timely, no-cost method to perform a quick assessment of a student with recommendations of resources and alternatives.
Currently the rating system is being evaluated with the help of Juvenile Court officers who are taking the test using all the juveniles incarcerated for simple and aggravated, non-weapon assaults. Oasis Center is redoing the assessment to confirm scoring for individuals receiving counseling for non-weapon assaults. These ranges wil be compared to normal students (ones without a history of assault) and the test scores will help redefine the ranges in the test. School Resource Officers (uniformed officers in Metro schools) will also take the test with specific disruptive students in mind and see how they stack up in assault potential (from assessment) versus demonstrated behavior. Metro Police Officers in the schools (SROs), Juvenile Court Probation Officers, Metropolitan School Security Officers, a High School Principal (Swor - Glencliff High School), and student activists will help further refine the test which has four main categories:
Students who scored as highly as the juveniles incarcerated for assault
Students who scored as highly as the juveniles referred for counseling for assault
Students with some risk factors (needing some more support)
Students with a Low Risk (Those who showed few characteristics or behaviors similar to those proven to assault others)

Identifying Patterns of Comorbidities in People Living with HIV
By Michaela Fleming
A new study reveals that in people living with HIV, comorbidities occur in non-random patterns and appear to be correlated to one another, highlighting the complexity of multimorbidity patterns.
For a physician treating patients with several comorbidities can be increasingly challenging, and for individuals living with HIV, comorbidities can have a significant impact on the overall health outcomes of these patients.
In a new study published in Open Forum Infectious Diseases, a team of international investigators found that comorbidities in people living with HIV tend to cluster in specific patterns that can be consistently identified, which may lead to a greater understanding of their potential impact on health and treatment outcomes.
"The presence of multiple co-occurring comorbidities is becoming increasingly common in people living with HIV, with negative consequences on health outcomes, daily functioning, working status, and health care costs," Davide DeFrancesco, a research statistician and PhD candidate at the Institute for Global Health, part of University College London, and an author of the study told Contagion®. "The findings highlighted in our paper could have important implications for both clinical and research purposes."
For the study, investigators used a data-driven approach to identify patterns of comorbidities in people living with HIV and evaluated associations between the patterns.
The data analyzed in the study were collected from 2 European cohorts focusing on people living with HIV: the POPPY study which was conducted in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and the AGEhIV study which was conducted in the Netherlands. Both studies focused on the impact of a wide variety of comorbidities on people living with HIV.
According to the study investigators, the presence and/or absence of each comorbidity was determined using a mix of self-reported medical history, concomitant medications, health care resource use, and laboratory parameters. Additionally, patterns were identified through principal component analysis (PCA) based on Somers' D statistic.
The PCA identified 6 patterns among the participants in the POPPY study, which included 1073 participants [85.2% male, median (IQR) age 52 (age 47-59) years]. Patterns were found in cardiovascular diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, mental health problems, cancers, metabolic disorders, and chest/other infections.
Furthermore, the cardiovascular disease pattern was found to have a positive association with the cancers (r = .32), metabolic disorders (r = .38), mental health (r = .16) and chest/other infections (r = .17) patterns (all P values <.001). Additionally, the mental health pattern was correlated with all the other patterns, with the strongest correlations in cancers (r = .20) and chest/other infections (r = .27), (both P values <.001).
Six patterns were also observed in the AGEhIV study, which included 598 participants [97.6% male, media IQR age 53 (age 48-59) years]. These patterns were found in cardiovascular diseases, chest/liver, HIV/AIDS events, mental health/neurological problems, sexually transmitted diseases, and general health.
The general health pattern was correlated with all other patterns with the strongest correlations in cardiovascular diseases (r = .14), chest/liver: (r = .15) and HIV/AIDS events: (r = .31), (all P values <.001 with the exception of sexually transmitted diseases STDs (r = .02, P = .64).
"Knowledge about comorbidity clusters could inform decisions about how to optimize prevention," DeFrancesco explained to Contagion®. "For example, an individual experiencing some of the comorbidities in a cluster can be considered more likely to further develop other comorbidities in the same cluster. This information can be used to improve the monitoring and screening for these conditions in order to achieve timely diagnosis."
DeFrancesco also stressed that the findings support the need for patient-centered treatment strategies and guidelines to address important areas of need in people living with HIV who are experiencing several comorbidities.
The authors are hopeful that data-driven research may reveal new pathophysiological mechanisms that may lead to future research focusing on elucidating these pathophysiological pathways and their potential impact on health and treatment outcomes.
