Only Pontefract Collieries stand in the way of Brighouse Town and the Evo-Stik Premier Division.
Town came from a goal down to win 3-1 in their play-off semi-final tie against Sheffield FC last night.

Pontefract needed extra time in their fixture, beating rivals Ossett United 3-1 after also going behind.
Saturday's final will be played at Pontefract, who finished second in the regular season.
Marc Newsham put Sheffield - who won 2-1 at Brighouse on Saturday - ahead on 23 minutes.
The other semi-final tie mirrored the events at Hove Edge, as visitors Ossett United also took a 23rd-minute lead at Pontefract.
Tyler Williams's goal drew Town level. PIC: Steven Ambler.
Brighouse weren't behind for long, however, as Tyler Williams picked up the ball in space before cutting inside and smashing home from the edge of the area just after the half-hour mark.
The hosts took the lead in first-half injury time when the ever-reliable Aaron Martin headed in from six yards out for his 26th goal of the season.
The score remained at 2-1 until the 81st minute, when Gabriel Johnson struck to seal victory.
Martin turned provider as he headed back across goal from a corner and Johnson stayed composed to lash the ball in.
The victory completed a successful night for Brighouse Town, with the Ladies team winning 3-2 against Guiseley to lift the West Riding County Cup.
Newly-appointed chairman James Howard said: "It is a huge honour and privilege to be the new chairman of Brighouse Town.
"Nights like these make this a special club. Brighouse through to the play-off final and Brighouse Ladies winning the County Cup."

We wanted to let you know about two small improvements we made to the site last night.
1. Duplicate gifts – some of you were reporting that gift givers were inadvertently duplicating their gifts. We heard it from gift givers, too. It happened when they clicked "Back" to try and change their name or payment method. So we implemented a failsafe and you should see a lot less of this now.
2. PayPal payment screen failures – we heard from some gift givers that the PayPal Payments button would result in a "page not found." We've upgraded the button to resolve the issue.
Keep letting us know if you have any trouble with the site. Back to work on the big improvements, coming this Fall!

Costs threats in employment tribunals: a proposal for reform
The Employment Tribunal Rules implemented in 2013 went wider than simply introducing fees. As a package, I would argue that they have shifted too much of the risk of bringing a claim onto the claimant. In particular, the increase in the maximum cost order from £10,000 to £20,000 has made it more attractive for employers to make unwarranted costs threats in an effort to force employees to drop their cases or settle on unfavourable terms. My proposal seeks to remedy that by allowing tribunals to order an uplift in compensation where an employer makes an unreasonable costs threat and goes on to lose at tribunal.
Prior to July 2013, the main financial risk a claimant faced at tribunal was a costs order, which could be made if the tribunal found that the party or their representative had in conducting proceedings 'acted vexatiously, abusively, disruptively or otherwise unreasonably' or if their bringing or conducting of the proceedings had been misconceived.
The maximum costs order the tribunal could make was £10,000. The tribunal also had the power to order a party to pay a deposit of up to £500 if at a pre-hearing review it was held that their arguments had little prospect of success.
The Rules introduced in July 2013 widened the scope and potential scale of costs orders: the maximum costs order was increased to £20,000 and the tribunal gained the power to make a costs order where the party's claim or response has no reasonable prospect of success. The maximum deposit order was increased to £1,000.
Whilst costs orders can be made either way, they tend to be made against a losing claimant and on the request of the winning respondent. Even when the maximum costs order was £10,000 there was evidence that costs warnings were being used to try to pressurise employees to withdraw their claims. This was acknowledged by the Government's Resolving workplace disputes consultation in January 2011:
Anecdotal evidence suggests that in many cases, where the claimant is unrepresented, respondents or their representatives use the threat of cost sanctions as a means of putting undue pressure on their opponents to withdraw from the tribunal process. We would welcome views on this and any evidence of aggressive litigation.
In fact Citizens Advice published a paper in 2004 illustrating the extent of unjustified costs threats. They reiterated these concerns in their response to the 2011 consultation. They were not alone: Cloisters (whose members include three past chairs of the Employment Law Bar Association) noted that:
Regrettably, members of chambers have seen the oppressive use of costs threats by some respondents or their representatives.
Unite, the union, wrote:
The Union has no doubt that where the claimant is unrepresented the threat of costs sanctions is used by some respondents as a means of putting undue pressure on the claimant.
ACAS reported that:
…a few representatives make almost universal use of this tactic when faced with unrepresented claimants.
Organisations representing employers acknowledged the practice too. EEF, the manufacturers' organisation, stated that they were:
…aware that some respondent representatives use cost warnings as a standard tactic in defending claims.
They added that they did not support the practice. Indeed they thought it counter-productive.
Given the widespread reporting of costs threats, and the concerns raised by organisations representing both employers and employees, it is unfortunate that the Government responded by doubling the maximum costs award – without including any protection for claimants.
£20,000 is a terrifying sum of money to most people and whilst a tribunal has to consider a party's means when making a costs order, they are construed fairly widely.
Given the prevalence of respondents' threats, one might think that tribunals regularly make costs orders. But they are made less than 1% of the time. In 2013/14 the median costs order was £1000. As the Citizens' Advice Adviceguide website notes:
Your employer's representative may say they will apply for you to pay costs but, usually, they are just trying to scare you into dropping the case or accepting a low offer of settlement.
So there is little to stop a respondent or their representative from making a cost threat, even where the claim has obvious merit. The risk is that employees with legitimate claims are being put off getting justice because of cost threats that are not made in good faith.
Whilst tribunal awards are meant to be compensatory, there is a precedent for increasing awards where there is unreasonable behaviour: where a party unreasonably fails to comply with a relevant ACAS code of practice, the tribunal can order an uplift or downlift of up to 25% in compensation awarded.
So it would not be a huge departure from existing practice to allow the tribunal to order an uplift to compensation where a respondent has made an unreasonable costs threat. The test should be a mirror of the test for making a costs order – that is to say the respondent's costs threat must be found to be vexatious, abusive, disruptive or otherwise unreasonable or misconceived, or had no reasonable prospect of success. This is a relatively high bar. Just as a claimant who loses does not automatically have to pay the respondent's costs, a respondent who loses should not have to pay an uplift simply because they have made a costs threat. The respondent should have acted unreasonably before the uplift kicks in.
This modest reform is likely to have several effects, almost all of them beneficial. There would likely be a reduction in the number of costs threats being made by respondents and their representatives. All other things being equal, this might result in more cases going to a hearing as claimants would be less likely to drop otherwise meritorious cases in response to a costs threat.
However, adding an element of risk to costs threats may in fact encourage more early settlements. Losing the opportunity of a 'free hit' on costs threats would likely focus the respondent's mind on the hearing at an earlier stage and lead them to conclude that it is better to try to settle early. Claimants may also be more receptive to settlement offers – as a number of responses to the Resolving workplace disputes consultation noted, costs threats can be counter-productive, antagonising claimants and making them more determined to see the case through to a hearing.
A reduction in the prevalence of costs threats might also mean that claimants would be better able to recognise and respond appropriately to genuine costs threats. There would likely remain an element of bluff in the system, but it would no longer be a risk-free bluff.
The question of whether a costs threat is unreasonable should be a question of fact for the tribunal, as should whether a communication constitutes a costs threat. A respondent who provides general information about costs should not be considered as making a costs threat, but the need for respondents to do this would be reduced if at the same time the ET1 form was amended to give claimants more information about the risks of costs.
If a communication is made and the claimant or their representative thinks it may be an unreasonable costs threat, they should be able to put the respondent on notice that should they win, they will ask the tribunal for an uplift. The respondent would then have an opportunity to withdraw the communication. If the respondent withdraws the communication they would be not be able to use it at a later stage as evidence that the claimant had acted unreasonably.
One potential pitfall of this approach is that claimants may start to disregard the risk of being ordered to pay costs because respondents and their representatives will become overly cautious about making warnings.
There are two answers to this. First, the amended tribunal rules should be drafted in a way that makes clear that a costs threat is not automatically unreasonable just because the party who made it goes on to lose. Second, an amended ET1 form would provide factual information about the circumstances in which a claimant might have to pay costs.
Whilst any law reform has potential risks, the benefits of this approach are potentially substantial – more cases settling early, more ethical behaviour, less mistrust between employers and employees, and increased confidence in the justice system for claimants.
It simply cannot be right that a claimant who is unfairly dismissed can be effectively compelled to drop their case because of an intimidatory costs threat. These claimants are being doubly let down, by their employers and by the justice system. That is why we need this reform.
The holes at the heart of Ed Miliband's #ukemplaw speech
Yesterday, Labour leader Ed Miliband responded to recent media and internal criticism of his leadership by giving his #ukemplaw speech. This didn't go quite so far as resolving the question of whether voluntary overtime should be included in holiday pay, but it did include a robust denunciation of inequality and the casualisation of so much of the UK's labour force. There were repeated mentions of zero-hours contracts, low pay, and insecure work, and more than one shout-out for the Living Wage.
All fine and dandy, even if there wasn't any new policy as such, and had the event concluded at the end of Miliband's speech I would most likely have left Senate House feeling somewhat encouraged. But the speech was followed by a Q&A, and my positive mindset was inadvertently shattered when a Labour activist in the audience – picking up on her leader's condemnation of zero-hours contracts and citing her own bitter experience – gamely urged Miliband to legislate for an outright ban.
Starting his response with a swipe at the Coalition's plan to simply ban exclusivity clauses, which he (rightly) noted will do nothing to tackle the exploitative use of zero-hours contracts, Miliband went on to re-iterate Labour's own plan to pass legislation giving zero-hours workers who are in fact working "regular hours" a legal right to demand a regular contract. "It is essential we do this", said Miliband, "as the problem is affecting so many people."
And then Miliband was off to the next question, without explaining how or why the "bad businesses" that cause so much misery to "so many people" will change their exploitative practices just because politicians in Westminster have passed yet more new employment law. Will tens of thousands of vulnerable, zero-hours workers suddenly discover the courage (and resources) to risk almost certain dismissal (or just a reduction in their hours to, well, zero) by issuing a tribunal claim against their exploitative employer for refusing to give them a regular contract?
No, they won't. Which is why, if Miliband and his party are serious about tackling the ever greater casualisation of the labour market, and the associated zero-hours contracts, chronic low pay and insecure work, they have to start thinking about doing more than simply pass more laws creating more rights. For, as the October 2014 report of Labour's own National Policy Forum acknowledges, "Employment rights have to be enforceable to mean anything."
And what plans does Labour have to make employment rights – existing and new – more enforceable?
Well, somewhat belatedly, the party has started making the right sort of noises on tribunal fees, which have slashed the number of cases by 65% and left the average private sector employer facing a claim just once every 83 years. However, it's pledge to replace the fees regime with one in which "affordability will not be a barrier to workplace justice" remains more a clumsy slogan than a credible policy solution to the not insignificant problem that outright abolition now comes with a price tag of some £40m in lost fee income (£4m) and increased operational costs (£35m).
However, as already noted, understandable fear of victimisation or summary dismissal means that, high fees, low fees or no fees, many abused workers will not even contemplate taking their employer on with a tribunal claim. And that means rogue employers can profit from exploitation with near impunity. It was for this reason that, in 1999, the then Labour government established the mechanism by which the national minimum wage is enforced, both in response to complaints and pro-actively, by a team of HMR inspectors. And similar reasoning lay behind the creation of the Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA) in 2005.
The National Policy Forum report includes a pledge to extend the narrow remit of the GLA to other sectors such as "construction, hospitality and social care" – but the CBI, REC and other employer bodies will never swallow such an extension of licensing (and see below). And the report states that "alongside increased fines and a new role for local authorities in enforcement [of the minimum wage], HMRC's remit on enforcement should be expanded to include related non-payment of holiday pay" – these being recommendations from the May 2014 report for the Party on low pay and the future of the minimum wage by businessman Alan Buckle. But the fines have already been substantially increased, and it is hard to see many cash-strapped (and in many cases near bankrupt) local authorities taking an active role in such (limited scope) enforcement.
So, if Miliband's #ukemplaw speech is to mean anything, he and shadow ministers need to take a leaf out of Vince Cable's book. Last month, at his party's conference in Glasgow, Cable quietly announced that the Liberal Democrat manifesto for May 2015 will promise a new Workers' Rights Agency that would "revamp efforts to enforce employment law and tackle the exploitation of workers" by combining the remits and work of "the minimum wage enforcement section of HMRC, the working time directive section at the Health & Safety Executive, the BIS Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate, and the GLA." According to Cable, this "joined-up enforcement approach" would "ensure the minority of unscrupulous employers who break the law do not get away with undercutting other employers who play by the rules."
And, if it makes Miliband and colleagues feel better about lifting ideas from Cable, this wasn't actually Cable's idea – he simply lifted it from me. Over more than a decade at Citizens Advice, I repeatedly advocated a consolidation of the State enforcement bodies into a Fair Employment Agency, so as to shine a light into the murkiest corners of the labour market, provide better value to taxpayers, and secure a fairer competitive environment for business. And I've continued to do so in recent years. I really am that boring.
However, not long after I got home from Senate House, a tweet by shadow work & pensions secretary Rachel Reeves alerted me to another, equally depressing hole in Miliband's purported determination to tackle the scourge of insecure and badly paid work. Reeves was tweeting a link to an interview she and shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna have given to the Financial Times, from which it is clear that, faced with protests from the CBI and others, Reeves and Umunna are now rowing back on Miliband's eve of conference pledge to raise the minimum wage rate to at least £8.00 per hour from October 2019. And, later in the evening, on BBC Newsnight, Umunna confirmed that Labour would only "try to get the minimum wage to £8.00 per hour by 2020".
So, while Miliband's #ukemplaw speech has been rightly praised for its greatly improved oratory and highly commendable "focus on inequality and insecurity," the content seems as sadly hole-ridden as ever.

One-stop tags look to Jan. 1 start date
Crenshaw County Probate Judge Jim Perdue told the Crenshaw County Commission at its Aug. 13 meeting that he was in the process of getting budget approvals from S&W Computers for the one-stop tag buying conversion for the Probate Office. Perdue added that he will be able to use the existing office space but would probably need to add one new employee. He is working toward a Jan. 1, 2008, beginning date to implement the one-stop tag measure.
County Engineer Benjie Sanders reported that shoulder work and grassing had been completed on the Daniel Branch Project.
&#8220I'd like to get it done by the end of the fiscal year," he said. &#8220Bridges are going to be big on next year's agenda for Congress because of the recent tragedy."
Sanders said the department is presently spraying some brush in the county; however, he said they don't have enough money to spray all the dirt roads in the county.
Sheriff Charles West had presented an application for approval for an ADECA grant under the &#8220Juvenile Justice Title II Part B Formula Grant Program." This program would target juvenile offenders, including in such areas as the removal of juveniles from adult jails and lockups.
ADECA requires that all applications must be written in the format of a five-year plan, which includes a five-year 20 percent reduction of cost policy for the Formula Grant Program. During the first year, the sheriff's office could receive 100 percent of the requested funds; the next year, 80 percent of requested funds would be received with the application subgrantee paying the other 20 percent. This continues until the fifth year when the subgrantee pays 100 percent.
In a letter from ADECA Division Director Robert H. Pruit, it stated: &#8220ŠI understand your letter to state that the Commission would like to apply for and receive 100% of the funds for the first year of the project's operation, and possibly apply for and receive 80% of the funds for the second yearŠHowever, beyond the first and/or second years of funding for the project, the Commission plans to drop the projectŠdue to the Commission's lack of commitment to contribute the required amounts and percentages of matching funds each yearŠ.(This) would place in serious jeopardy the subgrantee's ability to obtain from ADECA and the ADECA LETS Division any and all future grant funds through which to administer and implement targeted projects within its communityŠ"
West told the commission that the county had about 100 juveniles who would fall under the program.
&#8220You'd have someone who could go out and check on them," he said.
&#8220We agree with your other issues, but applying for this grant was just too risky," Commissioner Charlie Sankey said.
&#8220We're running on a shoestring budget," Commission Chairman Ronnie Hudson said. &#8220We're worried about what would happen after three years."
No further action was taken on the matter.

at least 30 days before matriculation.
In the case of agreeing upon this option, the first payment must be made prior to enrolment into study (by 24th September 2019) and the second payment is to be made by the end of January 2020.
1. Any student with fees outstanding from previous years; 2. Any student who has repeatedly defaulted on instalments in the past; 3. Sponsors (not family or friends) - invoice terms are strictly 30 days.
Full amount of the annual tuition fee must be made by 31st August.
I only study one subject per semester, do I still have to pay the full amount?
Student must pay tuition fees per each semester which s/he had commenced. The full amount must be paid even in case of studying one subject. The payment is not required only in case of having finished all the courses except Final State Examination and Thesis Defence.
Will I get a refund if suspended/ leave the study?
If the student leaves the studies during the academic year, there is no possibility for a refund of the fee, not even of a proportional part. The student suspended from the study in the course of the academic year will not receive a refund of the fee from the Faculty.
The fees are to be paid through a bank transfer. You are kindly requested to cover all bank operation fees related to the transfer, so the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport will receive the full amount.
When making the bank order, state the student's full name to Details of Payment/Reference and choose the correct option referring to the bank operation fees.

The need for the development of an efficient and effective common public research programme dealing with water issues is obvious. The demand for water grows faster than the world population. In the coming bio-based economy, anticipated to emerge in the 21st century, agriculture will become as an even more intensive water user. This means that, in situations of relative scarcity, competition between the different user groups (agriculture, municipalities and industry) will be strong. This will also have a great impact on European ecosystems. In addition, climate change is expected to have a strong impact on Europe, affecting the intensity and the spatial and temporal distribution of temperature and precipitation events. The variability in precipitation is also expected to increase, leading to a higher probability of extreme events such as droughts and floods. The JPI "Water challenges for a changing world" (Water JPI) deals with research in the field of water and hydrological sciences.

UN inspectors find empty chemical warheads in Iraq
Reuters is reporting that United Nations weapons inspectors have found 11 empty chemical warheads today at an ammo dump, with the Associated Press saying they were in "excellent" condition.
"During the course of their inspection, the team discovered 11 empty 122 mm chemical warheads and one warhead that requires further evaluation," U.N. spokesman Hiro Ueki said in a statement from Baghdad.
It should be stressed that these are empty shells, and of the type that Iraq imported in the late 1980s. Iraq said the shells were "old rockets" that had been forgotten. Whether this is a "smoking gun" remains to be seen, and much depends on how Hans Blix, the chief weapons inspector, handles this. He has said Iraq needs to do more to prove it has destroyed its WMD to avoid war.
"The situation is very tense and very dangerous," he said.
How this will affect attempts by the United States to squelch a second report from the inspectors due in March, which would almost certainly delay any fighting until the blistering summer months, remains to be seen. Also uncertain is whether the empty warheads could be considered a material breach of UNSCR 1441. At any rate, the find will no doubt embolden the White House against France and Russia, who are seen as the two permanent members of the council most likely to buck President George W. Bush's wishes to fight a quick war in the cooler months of February and March.
Oh, and by the way, today is the 12th anniversary of the first Gulf War, which started at 6:38 p.m., EST on Jan. 16, 1991. (Jan. 17 in Iraq, due to the time difference.)

Should the Payroll Tax Cut Be Extended?
President Obama has been pushing to extend the 2-percentage-point cut in the payroll tax through next year, but this is one tax cut that his opponents in Congress may not agree to allow.
The tax cut was part of the deal that Obama negotiated with Republicans last December to extend the Bush-era tax rates. It reduced for one year the Social Security payroll taxes withheld from employee paychecks from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent. Employees could save up to $2,136 on taxes by the end of the year, according to The Wall Street Journal. That put more spending money in their pockets that they could use to buy things and hopefully boost the economy. However, the tax cut was also projected to cost the Treasury about $112 billion.
Still, Obama is pushing to extend the program in an effort to keep the economic recovery from stalling. He wants Congress to pass an extension of the payroll tax cut, along with an extension of unemployment benefits, when they return from recess next month. Like the payroll tax cut, the money from unemployment benefits is typically spent quickly by the people who receive it.
"We should extend the payroll tax cut as soon as possible, so that workers have more money in their paychecks next year and businesses have more customers next year," Obama said on Monday, according to The Hill.
Republicans are typically in favor of tax cuts, but this year they may want to use the payroll tax cut as leverage in the bargaining over the debt ceiling that will take place this fall among the 12 members of the newly appointed "super committee." Republicans instead favor lowering the top tax rates for businesses and individuals from 35 to 25 percent, under the plan advanced by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., and approved by the House. The idea of a corporate repatriation tax holiday for bringing profits back to the U.S. from foreign subsidiaries at reduced tax rates has also been gaining adherents.
Critics of the payroll tax cut point out that it hurts the funding base for Social Security, which will need all the money it can get as increasing numbers of Baby Boomers reach their retirement years. It certainly isn't a tax cut that can be extended on a regular basis every year if the Social Security trust fund is going to remain solvent.
In any case, an extension of the payroll tax cut may become part of the larger debate over tax reform in Washington. That's a debate that's been going on for a long time now with no end in sight. But with the Making Work Pay Tax Credit gone now, and its successor approaching its expiration date in a few months, taxpayers may soon find a little chunk of their paychecks missing in January.

Who Were Barack Obama's Marxist Professors?
By Charles C. Johnson Sep 17, 2012 12:50 PM ET
Barack Obama has admitted in his 1995 book Dreams From My Father that he has had "Marxist professors," so it's worth asking: what did his professors believe?
Obama, in Dreams, writes that at Occidental he chose his "friends carefully. The politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors." (p. 100) Obama told the Los Angeles Times that Occidental was a "wonderful, small liberal arts college" with professors who were "diverse and inspiring." "I ended up making lifelong friendships [at Occidental], and those two first years really helped me grow up."
So where are the Marxist, inspiring professors? And where are the "lifelong friendships"? There was Alan Egan, who taught Obama foreign policy with Larry T. Caldwell. Egan was an Argentinian-born Marxist who attacked "Friedmanite" economic policy. (Anthony Russo, "Egan Gives a Native's View of Argentine Politics," The Occidental).
Caldwell taught antipathy to Reagan's anti-Soviet policies, calling them "myopic" and warning that the policy of confronting the Soviet Union was "bankrupt, devoid, and bound to fail." In his view, America should just reconcile itself to the fact that the Soviet Union was a "global superpower" and cut a deal. "The facts are there, once Americans realize they are a global superpower, there will be an increase in the number of agreements," Caldwell said. (Anne Ball, "Caldwell charts decline of American-Soviet relations," The Occidental, May 1, 1981). Perhaps Caldwell's position came from his anti-Americanism, which was cultivated after the death of JFK, RFK and King:
"We [children of the sixties] felt the JFK assassination … [sic] blew the changes for our generation to take hold of the world and change things. I know that's tremendously idealistic bullshit, but that's the way my generation felt. The lesson that I learned from Vietnam and all those other experiences was 'never again to have unmitigated loyalty to my country." (Gretchen Lux, "Caldwell shares his 'last' views," The Occidental, May 8, 1981).
There was also Lawrence Goldyn, a homosexual activist and Obama professor. "[Goldyn] was a wonderful guy," Obama told The Advocate in 2009. "He was the first openly gay professor that I had ever come in contact with, or openly gay person of authority that I had come in contact with. And he was just a terrific guy. He wasn't proselytizing all the time, but just his comfort in his own skin and the friendship we developed helped to educate me on a number of these issues." But there was no examination about what those issues might actually be. Goldyn was a constant professional activist on campus, who picketed the visit of Phyllis Schlafly, whom he said "represents fascism in this country." ("Schlafly's Speech Meets Opposition," The Occidental, February 13, 1981). Goldyn, by his own admission, "talked about sexual politics in all of [his] courses." Indeed, in 1980, Goldyn hosted "an evening of gay politics and history." When Occidental declined to grant him a tenure-track position, Goldyn blamed his homosexuality:
"My not being rehired is a real, I think, clear statement, and will be interpreted, whether accurately or not by a lot of people who say 'you are better off staying in the closet.'" (Susan Keselenko, "Lawrence Goldyn: Reflections on an abrupt Occidental experience," The Occidental, May 29, 1981).
When Reagan was shot, the Democratic Socialist Alliance held a colloquium in which three Occidental professors — Norman Cohen, Mike McAleenan, and Lawrence Goldyn—all spoke. (We don't know if Obama was present, but given that his friends were the organizers behind the Democratic Socialist Alliance, the large crowd, and the nature of the talk, it seems more than likely he was.) Professor Cohen blamed the shooting on the "capitalist system itself," according to the report. "The problem is the society we live in," Cohen told the crowd. So bad was American society that Cohen, in the question and answer period, refused to stand for the national anthem. "To do so would be to support all of the American activities in El Salvador and other third world nations," he said.
Professor McAleenan was next. He provided a sociological description of would-be shooters and he blamed the "so-called American dream" and our "never fail-always-succeed society." Professor Goldyn assailed the "patriotic propaganda" that was designed to portray Reagan as an American hero and seriously wondered that "if those who subscribe to the American Dream can be shot, then the lives of dissenters must be in even greater danger." (Anthony Russo and Dan Karasic, "Assassination is topic of forum," The Occidental, April 17, 1981).
At Occidental, Obama may well have attended a presentation of the film Revolution or Death which, in the words of The Occidental, the school newspaper, "describes the vast inequality of wealth and political power in El Salvador." The film and discussion was sponsored by Obama's friends in the Democratic Socialist Alliance and by the political science and history departments, with over 150 students in attendance.
Although we do not know for sure that Obama attended, it is likely, given his focus on international relations. His friend, Caroline Boss, who gave him his start as an activist with a speech before campus, was the leader of the Democratic Socialist Alliance and his professors were there for the screening. Still another friend, Hasan Chandoo, his self-described "brother" and roommate, blamed America's desire to save the "capitalist order" for the killings in El Salvador in a letter to the editor. Egan, one of Obama's professors and the Marxist from Argentina who gave teach-ins with the help of the Democratic Socialist Alliance, criticized American policy in Latin America, blaming Americans' appetite for "Big Macs" and "industrialization" for his native land's woes. (Lisa Messinger and Debra Lewinter, "Egan Links Economics and Latin Repression," The Occidental). In all, twenty-four Occidental professors signed a letter, including Obama's teachers, Boesche, Newhall, Goldyn, and Egan, arguing that the U.S. should not intervene to stop communist aggression in El Salvador.
Small wonder then that the film shown praised the Revolutionary Democratic Front, while its promoter, Roberto Alfaro, condemned America for giving aid to the Contras. "The people decided to go that way (communist)… made their own choice. Revolutions are not exported. Revolutions have to be made from within," Alfaro told the audience at Occidental. Alfaro praised the Revolutionary Democratic Front, which, his film said, had as its goal "an end to terror… a redistribution of land, and true democracy." (Hannah Bentley, "Salvadoran Plight Examined," The Occidental) Alfaro's group, the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES), masqueraded as a popular resistance group against American involvement in Latin America. In reality, it was a Communist front, connected with the terrorist group FMLN and founded by the brother of the head of the Community Party, Farid Handal, in 1980, and the Communist Party USA, as part of an influence operation to distort America's focus in stopping the formation of communist regimes in Latin America.
The FBI later linked CISPES to a series of terrorist attacks in the early '80s, including an attack on Fort McNair in April 1983 and the bombing of the U.S. Capitol in November 1983. Naturally, Occidental had a chapter of CISPES when Obama was a student. Was Obama a member?
Barack Obama's favorite professor was Roger Boesche. David Maraniss, author of Barack Obama: The Story, writes that he "worked his classes through Nietzsche, Tocqueville, Freud, Weber, Sartre, and Marcuse, following more on the questions they raised than the answers." (p. 358) But Maraniss omitted Marx from the list, airbrushed no doubt because we know Boesche was Obama's "favorite professor." We also know that Boesche's favorite political philosopher was Marx, whom Boesche said he "loves," as evinced from his lecture given while Obama was still a student in April 1981.
From The Occidental:
What Marx offers to Boesche at this time of day is an historical analysis, an explanation of how this world of capitalism emerged. "Gradually," Marx explains [Boesche] said, "the economic power of the Third Estate, the commercial classes ended the power of a landed aristocracy." And gradually, he continued, "the vast majority will recognize their power, recognize an 'utterly umimbelishable' need to transform the world, and bring a more sophisticated form of democracy than Jefferson's world of sheperds [sic] and yeoman farmers could offer.
Marx's socialism, he explained, offers a democracy suited to the modern world of cities and technology, in which the producers or workers control the workplace, in which those who work reap the benefits. With Marx, he said, "I can share the optimism of those who believe in the wonders of science and technology." Marx is confident that through technology, humans can be liberated from drudgery, and that within the body of a people once liberated, we will find, said Boesche, "A thousand Shakespeares and a thousand Newtons each generation."
It was from Boesche's Marx, and not Boesche's Tocqueville, that Obama seems to have decided to become a community organizer.
Marx, [Boesche] explained, is optimistic in his belief of "community, fellowship; each man or woman as artist; democracy in a more perfect equality; control over one's daily life."
It was a value that Boesche shared, telling his audience,
…I choose to value democracy in its broadest sense—democracy of the community and neighborhood, decentralization of centralized cities and states, democracy in unions and schools, and factories, and workers who control the enterprises in which they work.
(Susan Keselenko, "Boesche Synthesizes Political Convictions," The Occidental, May 1, 1981).
Obama may also have attended a March 4, 1981, lecture by Peter Breiner of Stanford which discussed the works of Antonio Gramsci and Rosa Luxemburg and was attended by over seventy students at the small liberal arts college. (Gretchen Lux, "Stanford's Breiner Views Marxism," March 6, 1981).
On April 20, 1981, the famous communist Carl Marzani, who wrote the book The Promise of Eurocommunism, visited campus. Eurocommunism, said Marzani, can help bridge the gap between socialism and democracy, and "integrate socialist economies with the Bill of Rights — democracy as we know it." (Debbie Levi, "Marzani realistic about the future of Eurocommunism," The Occidental, May 1, 1981).
And finally, there was the political analysis of James Lare, a comparative politics professor, who breathlessly extolled the virtues of 1970s Communist China. To quote Lare:
The fact that the Communist regime, has, during its thirty years in power, virtually eliminated starvation from both city and countryside as well as reorganizing economic and political life in a way that has drastically reduced foreign exploitation, the most extreme forms of corruption, and such social ills as prostitution, gambling, and petty theft, is itself a major achievement. Indeed, I view it as one of the masterpieces of social and political engineering of the twentieth century comparable in some ways to such technical achievements as the development of nuclear energy and the exploration of outer space.

Unfinished Terminal script features
Sep 25th '19, 20:46
In the terminal scripting guide by marrub here: http://pfhorums.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=39290 It references terminal script commands that were not implemented into Marathon 2 and Infinity but are still around in Aleph One's code, albeit unfinished.
#CAMERA: Similar in theme I guess to Build engine games like Duke Nukem 3D and Ion Maiden, it would display a camera shot from a certain object, specified by an ID number, presumably an actual surveillance camera. Whether it pans or not we might never know...
#MOVIE: Similar to PICT but for video files in a Movie folder. This is the most desirable of the lost commands, especially if said movies contain voice acting. (mods only. The Marathon Trilogy itself doesn't need voice acting. Anniversary or 4, sure, but doing it right would be difficult)
#TRACK: Plays a track from an audio file in Music.
I think that in future Aleph One builds, those features should be fully implemented for use in mods and scenarios, as they could revolutionise the way terminals can be used, without actually getting rid of what they do best (i.e what they currently do) at all. This would add to the complexity and immersion of maps.
We could have security stations in Pfhor buildings where they are tracking you with cameras. The objective would be to smash some circuits to shut down the terminals connected to the cameras.
Track commands could be used in Juke boxes for city levels or for voice acting on terminal text, with player character voices in whatever hypothetical scenarios not showing up on the terminal (as they are not messages typed in and the character is actually speaking). The PC dialog text could appear in some cases such as coms between human characters, but only if it's just audio and pictures along with the normal text. Depending on how it is coded, it could even change the background music, such as when something happens in a level or the story that causes the tone to shift.
Movie commands, tying in with above, could show characters on-screen interacting with the player character. Animation of any style, or live action footage for said video files? Use whatever you please. It's all a matter of personal style. For maps and pictures in such cases, audio could be used as a continuation of the movie track dialog and another movie if/when video footage appears again in the same terminal. Once again, this is an idea for third party mods and scenarios only, not the actual trilogy.
Movie commands could also be used in other purposes like footage on Bob eye-cams uploaded to a terminal for viewing, short films or something in some types of level like a city (think Bioshock Infinite or the short video animations in System Shock 1) and other such things.
Personally I think adding those in is a really cool idea and could add some spice to future scenarios. Current ones don't need to make use of those features once implemented but options for it and/or limited use of them could be nice. In terms of mods built with those features in mind, my suggestions are:
An idea for a remake of Strife (namely the Veteran Edition) in the Aleph One engine, which could be an enhancement over the original game on id Tech 1. This could also use level back and forth like PID A1 uses.
A Metroidvania themed game taking place on the Marathon, other UESC places, or an entirely new universe not connected to Marathon.
A horror themed scenario based around finding lost footage, text and audio logs in any kind of setting. Be it space, abandoned city, underground base, Aquatic Base (one of my favourite tropes) or haunted houses (assuming they have computers in them and limited power).
Remakes of the classic Doom games but with better architecture, proper liquids, smoother movement, Marathon 1's non-nerfed grenade climbing, flamethrower jetpacking etc. for ease of movement in vertically themed levels, low gravity on the levels taking place on moons and mars and an actual story instead of terribly written text screens at the end of an episode or chapter. Text crawls can still appear at the end, but only there and be better written than id did.
Any other ideas for future scenarios using fully implemented missing/lost terminal scripting commands are welcome as that's all I can think of. (I lack imagination sometimes, I know.)
It may have to wait until Aleph One version 5 or something as there are likely other issues needing fixed right now that I may not be aware of.
*can't remember what version it is now: my folders have what looks like date codes on them to separate versions.

There's no need to implement #TRACK; I'm almost certain it can already be implemented with existing Lua commands, though I haven't tried. It's certainly possible to use Lua to change the music that plays in a level based on specific conditions; though I don't know if tying it to a specific terminal is possible, you can almost certainly tie it to the activation of a specific tag and then have the terminal activate that tag. If I had an application where I thought it would sound good and make story sense to change the music in a level, I might try writing code for it, but I haven't yet found one.
I'm also not sure if #MOVIE is actually implemented, but it's possible to embed movies that load at the start of a specific level. Blauwe Vingers definitely did that (I probably mangled the spelling as I don't speak Dutch; sorry) and I think EMR may have as well. That's actually better than having it activated by a terminal; having a movie play within a level would break up the flow of gameplay. It might work for certain genres of games, but given that Marathon gameplay (after the first game, anyway) continues when you're reading terminals, requiring players to be able to watch a movie sort of defeats the purpose – there's no reasonably intuitive way to implement scrolling through a movie with the existing key bindings in the engine like there is with text.
The camera angle might be a good feature, though it'd be complicated to introduce and I'm certain Hopper and TL don't have time to implement it. When I was playing Ryoko's Metroidvania prototype I was thinking that it would be nice to have a portal gun implemented in the engine; if that feature were implemented, it might be possible to use the same code to implement a portal gun. But I think the odds of it ever being implemented are slim, unless someone with an interest in writing it learns C++. That's the state the engine is pretty much in right now; there are really only two developers actively working on it (three if you count TrajansRow's iOS port, I guess, but I don't know how much he's [?] contributed to the Mac/Windows/Linux branch) and neither of them exactly have the ability to work on it full-time.
But yeah, Ryoko's Metroidvania prototype is a thing. The architecture is complete filler, and it's not very difficult, but it's a ton of fun to play. I've considered using some of the code from that for WMAiD or Chronicles, but haven't yet thought of an application where the level transitions would be more than a gimmick. One of the problems is that you get loading screens every time you switch from one region to another, so you'd have to design the architecture so you'd only get loading screens at areas where there's a natural break in the level (airlocks, for instance). The bigger problem is that 1.2.1, which is currently labeled the 'stable release' of Aleph One, crashes if you transition levels fifteen times without dying. So until 1.3, which fixes the problem, becomes the stable release, I can't see myself actually wanting to build a whole set of levels around that idea.

The bit about the terminal movies breaking flow is true, and I see we are both on the same page in that it would only really work for specific scenarios. If it was added to current scenarios like Eternal, it would have to be kept very limited, such as for the live video feed Leela shows you at the end of chapter 2 being an actual short video clip accompanying the text.
Otherwise, overuse of in-terminal video that you cannot skip through, especially long ones would come across as the video disks, and emails in Doom 3 crammed together, which killed the pacing of Doom 3 for me. That was probably why Doom 4 switched to terminals for world building like Marathon and kept the major current story features that used cutscenes succinct and punchy, whereas since Marathon is normally entirely text based, it can get away with text walls as the as the player is not expected to sit through all of it if they don't want to.
Therefore, in-terminal video clips in Marathon would have to be similarly short as most story sections in Doom 4 so as to avoid wasting the player's time. Movies before levels could conceivably be longer, but hopefully not too long, and only used to show off things that can't happen in-engine easily prior to the level starting e.g. if one modded Infinity to include movies, one such one could be implementing the cut sequence from Infinity where Marcus sails through space after entering that timeline to reach Boomer before Naw Man He's Close ala the cut sequence in Halo 2 (replaced with the Durian bomb), switching to gameplay when he enters the hull breach at the start of the map.
Portal guns I'm not sure about unless we're talking the Displacer cannon from Half Life Opposing Force (BFG as primary fire, teleport to specific polygons or secret stashes as secondary) as the teleportation feature of that could just be a portable jump pad instead of opening gateways between far apart polygons. Defining and/or coding such definitions of where using the teleport feature will take you in Weland I'm not sure how it could be done.
I didn't know that track features outside terminals were already implemented, so that's one thing to cross off. Might still be interesting to see though.
I'll need to check the Metroidvania scenario/WAD as I'd heard of it but hadn't searched for it. Thank you for the link.
As for the movies at the start of levels, I'd need to see if there's MML or Lua for that when I get on to learning those script languages. Thanks for the information. You raised some good points too.

Camera stuff in Lua is pretty cut and dry, but you're always replacing the entire screen with the new camera. For MPDX I had separate objects that you could interface with to look through cameras, kind of like Duke. You can do some overlay stuff with HUD scripting to make it look good, as well as effects with MML-doctored infravision/faders to make nightvision cameras, or just to add some flicker and scan lines. It's fairly easy, although moving the camera around is a bit trickier, especially if its moving with player input.
Plugging that into a terminal somehow would be kind of cool I suppose.

Home Entertainment The Rookie season 3 release date, trailer and many more
The Rookie season 3 release date, trailer and many more
Wednesday, 6 January 2021, 10:16 EST
We should plunge into what's in store from The Rookie Season 3.
The Rookie Season 3 release date
Initially, The Rookie Season 3 would have been essential for the fall setup. When recording couldn't occur true to form because of the pandemic, the debut was pushed to the new year. There isn't any longer to stand by now.
The season will debut on Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021 on ABC. It is keeping the Sunday night space, which worked out amazingly well for it in the 2019-2020 timetable.
It will air the next day on Hulu.
The Rookie Season 3 cast
Obviously, Nathan Fillion will return as John Nolan. It is extremely unlikely that can't occur. This show depends on him being a 40-year-old new kid on the block.
The remainder of the Season 2 cast will likewise return. That implies, we'll have the accompanying back:
Mekia Cox as Nyla Harper
Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez
Richard T. Jones as Wade Gray
Titus Makin as Jackson West
Melissa O'Neil as Lucy Chen
Eric Winter as Tim Bradford
Harold Perrineau will return as Nick Armstrong. He will be a significant character to begin the season off. All things considered, Nolan will have a difficult, but not impossible task ahead to demonstrate Armstrong is the grimy cop.
The Rookie Season 3 rundown
There is certifiably not an official rundown out for the debut scene at this time. The spotlight will be on getting Nolan free for something he didn't do. Notwithstanding, his entire group will address whether they can confide in him.
It is safe to say that he is a dirty cop?
Nolan needs to demonstrate that it was Armstrong, yet how might he demonstrate that? Will he have enough individuals close by to counter Armstrong's associations from years in the administration?
All through The Rookie Season 3, there will likewise be an attention on police brutality and foundational racism. It's absolutely impossible the show can dodge such a subject. TV programs must have a duty to bring issues to light and show reality in any event, while engaging.

It was hard to photograph the dolphins so this is the best shot (I also got a video) but there were many pods of dolphins with their 3 month old babies - so cute and cool!
They also had lots of other little animals for us to look at onboard, I was holding a hermit crab and about 5 seconds after this picture, it came popping out and I proceeded to drop it back into the tank! Solon was very interested and had no fear...Did you know shells are a living creature? I didn't...we saw baby shells too!

It's a Big Wide Wonderful World
(Redirected from It's a Big, Wide, Wonderful World)
"It's A Big, Wide, Wonderful World" is a popular song written by John Rox and published in 1939.
The song first appeared in the short-lived 1940 Broadway musical play All in Fun when it was introduced by Walter Cassel and Wynn Murray.[1]
A version by Buddy Clark reached a peak on the Billboard charts at #25 in 1949. [2]
Cover Versions[edit]
Peggy Lee for her album Mink Jazz (1963).[3]
Vaughn Monroe
Joan Regan
Margaret Whiting & Jack Smith (1949).[4]
Film appearances[edit]
Sung by Deanna Durbin in her last film, "For the Love of Mary," in 1948. Cut from the film for its original release, subsequent video versions have restored it.
It was sung by Dean Martin in his 1954 film, 3 Ring Circus.
It was also featured in the film Sweet Bird of Youth (1962) when it was played as background music in the swimming scene.[5]
It was sung by Charlene Dallas in the 1975 comedy "Rancho Deluxe". (Charlene Dallas breaks into song at dinner table until silenced by Slim Pickens.)[6]

In an article published in the Utah Bar Journal, Utah Attorney General Sean D. Reyes, Salt Lake District Attorney Sim Gill, and Attorney Gregory N. Hoole joined together to bring awareness of child abuse and Wheels of Justice, a local cycling club dedicated to ending all forms of child abuse.
Wheels of Justice, a nonprofit corporation, raises money to support four organizations: Prevent Child Abuse Utah (PCAU), Friends of the Salt Lake County Children's Justice Center (Friends of the CJC), Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) and the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition (UDVC).
Additionally, Wheels of Justice sponsors a bicycle ride every September that ascends all five of Salt Lake City's riding canyons in one day. This daunting course shows children who have been abused that they, too, can overcome any challenge.
For more information and to find out how you can join Wheels of Justic, visit their website at www.teamwheelsofjustice.org.

BEIJING (AP) — The Iran nuclear deal will not "fall apart" despite the United States withdrawing from the landmark accord, the European Union's representative to China said Wednesday.
Negotiated by the Obama administration, the 2015 Iran accord included EU members Germany, France and Britain, and had lifted most U.S. and international economic sanctions against Iran. In exchange, Iran agreed to restrictions on its nuclear program, making it impossible to produce a bomb and establishing rigorous inspections.
President Donald Trump abruptly withdrew the U.S. from the deal Tuesday and restored harsh sanctions against Iran.
Iran's parliamentary speaker, Ali Larijani, said in a speech Wednesday that his country will evaluate the EU's ability to protect the nuclear accord.
Speaking at an event to mark Europe Day, Schweisgut also urged Beijing to create a "level playing field" for European businesses operating in the country, warning that failure to do so could affect foreign investment.
Since 2013, Beijing and the EU have been negotiating a comprehensive investment agreement that seeks to improve transparency and reciprocity. As trade tensions simmer between China and the United States, Schweisgut said he hopes "the current international context" will encourage China to move forward with their talks.
"The level playing field we have been arguing for a long time needs to be established, otherwise I'm afraid that there may be a change in mood and atmosphere which we are already seeing emerging," he said.
The chairman of the European Parliament's international trade committee, on a visit to China this week, criticized the Trump administration's approach to addressing the trade imbalance with China, saying it undermined the system of rules that govern global trade.
"The multilateral trading system is under threat as one big partner worldwide is undermining this global trading system with tariffs and rule of power," Bernd Lange told reporters in Beijing.
Trump has threatened higher tariffs on $150 billion of Chinese goods in response to complaints that Beijing violates its free-trade commitments by stealing or pressuring foreign companies to hand over technology.
"These bilateral negotiations are based on partnership and should not be based on pressure as the U.S. is trying to get their interest through," he said.
In response to questions about China's human rights record, Schweisgut said the EU will continue to raise the cases of Gui Minhai, a Swedish bookseller detained in China, and Liu Xia, the widow of Chinese Nobel Peace laureate Liu Xiaobo.
Though she has never been charged with a crime, Liu Xia has been confined under guard at her Beijing home following her husband's arrest in 2010 with virtually no contact with the outside world.
Rights groups and foreign countries have called for her to be allowed to leave China and Germany said earlier this month it would welcome her after a recording was released of her crying in desperation.
Gui and Liu's cases are not "fading away," Schweisgut said, noting that human rights are an "integral part" of the EU's relationship with China.


Old roommate Rich is engaged to Christina! Smiles all around.
Alan and Sharon's baby, Dan and Lori, Rich and Christina...it's a happy holiday season where love is in the air.
Went with Karen, Mike, and Joannie to an Indian party at the House of Blues tonight. We didn't know it was an Indian party until we arrived. We were headed there to see Karen's old college dance group perform.
What do the Indian-American youth enjoy? The same thing other party kids do: hip hop and mixed drinks. It was fun to hear some Indian music mixed by a DJ, and not so fun to realize that lame DJs dance around on stage at these parties as well, trying to rile up the crowd by shouting, "All the motherf***ing Punjabis in the house, let's hear some motherf***ing noise!!!"
This movie trivia board game with some questions requiring footage from a DVD is turning out to be really hard to find. It's only carried by Nordstrom and Toys R Us/Amazon.com, and I've tried 3 Nordstrom stores and it's sold out at every one. Amazon finally has it back in stock but it's too late to ship for the holidays, when you can play with your family. I'm not even sure it's all that fun, but when you can't find something after several moderate attempts, it gains an allure which is entirely disproportionate to its actual value.

Wallace Stevens Online Resources
November 16, 2010 November 17, 2010 - Uncategorized
There are a number of fantastic online resources about Wallace Stevens and his work. One of the best, for me, is the collection of audio recordings of Stevens reading his work. Stevens's commanding, deeply sonorous, and serious, without being solemn, delivery adds another dimension toward the understanding and appreciation of his poems.
I've dipped into Ronald Sukenick's Wallace Stevens, Musing the Obscure: Readings, an Interpretation, and a Guide to the Collected Poetry and enjoyed his glosses.
Another excellent resource is the Online Concordance to Wallace Stevens. Thinking about how important color was in Stevens's work, particularly blue, of course, I plugged different colors into the engine and was overwhelmed by the results for not only blue but also for green and red and yellow and black, and perhaps more surprisingly, bronze. The online concordance came up with these results for bronze:
Invective Against Swans, line 3: A bronze rain from the sun descending marks
Nuances of a Theme by Williams, line 5 (i.1): Shine alone, shine nakedly, shine like bronze,
Dance of the Macabre Mice, line 12: The arm of bronze outstretched against all evil!
The Idea of Order at Key West, line 31: Theatrical distances, bronze shadows heaped
The Man with the Blue Guitar line, 14 (ii.4): And bearded bronze, but not a man,
The Sense of the Sleight-of-Hand Man, line 19: That is fluent in even the wintriest bronze.
Montrachet-le-Jardin, line 24: The hand can touch, neither green bronze nor marble, Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction, It Must Change, line 273 (iii.13): Changed his true flesh to an inhuman bronze.
This Solitude of Cataracts line 16: To be a bronze man breathing under archaic lapis,
An Ordinary Evening in New Haven, line 169 (x.7): Of bronze whose mind was made up and who, therefore, died. line 170 (x.8): We are not men of bronze and we are not dead.
Architecture (OP) line 55 (vii.3):The bronze-filled plazas
Owl's Clover, The Old Woman and the Statue (OP), line 7 (ii.3): Before the horses, clouds of bronze imposed line 8 (ii.4):On clouds of gold, and green engulfing bronze, line 28 (iii.7):The golden clouds that turned to bronze, the sounds line 55 (iv.12):Now felt, now known as this. The clouds of bronze
Owl's Clover, A Duck for Dinner (OP), line 623 (iv.40): Complete in bronze on enormous pedestals.
Recitation After Dinner (OP), line 15: The bronze of the wise man seated in repose
Of Mere Being (OP), line 3:In the bronze decor,
And here's a list of great resources culled mainly from here and here.

Greg Gerke says:
Stunning John, especially PennSound, which I know has a longer Ben Marcus reading.
About 'Bronze' – the last line of "This Solitude of Cataracts" –
"Breathing his bronzen breath at the azury centre of time."
In the 1952 reading at PennSound I listened to "Puella Parvula" Listen for the tolling of bells in the back during the fifth stanza. And not to be sentimental but there is something about this poem that makes me cry. I read it a few days ago and I let loose then too.
Also, look at the second last line of that poem "Flame, sound, fury composed…" – Three of the greatest writers ever (Shakespeare, Faulkner, Stevens) – "all three/Now marry in an instant." – Edmund in KING LEAR Act V
Amber Sparks says:
Edmund in Lear. Oh, lord, to play that character. I was forever trying to convince my drama professor that I could.
Love that comparison.
I have just discovered that there is nothing better than eating a sandwich and listening to Wallace Stevens read his work on a rainy afternoon.

Soiseth: Committed to Bold Financial Leadership
The following is an Op-Ed written by Turlock Mayor Gary Soiseth.
This last Tuesday, four out of five councilmembers voted in favor of my recommendations within a two-year budget. Based off a "line-by-line" analysis of our City's funds, this budget's central goal is to address the need to pay down our City's debt, to pay lump sum charges when it is to the City's economic advantage, and to slowly restore the departments that made the largest concessions during the economic downturn.
The main component of the recommended budget is eliminating some of the City's liabilities, primarily the $1,839,608 remaining balance of the City of Turlock Fire Department's Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) Side Fund and the $3,600,474 remaining balance of the City of Turlock Police Department's PERS Side Fund.
By using the $2,400,000 proceeds from the sale of the old 900 North Palm police station and adjacent public facilities and using $3,000,000 from the General Fund Reserve, the City will save about $615,367 per year in principle and interest payments. This means that, over the course of the next decade, Turlock will benefit from roughly $2,000,000 in interest savings alone. A large portion of these savings will be used to repay the General Fund Reserve as quickly as possible.
At current interest rates, this outstanding debt costs the City of Turlock 7.5% interest annually. The newly adopted budget takes money from our General Fund Reserve and strategically uses it to pay down this toxic debt. By comparison, this money would earn a miniscule quarter percent in interest if it sat idly in the General Fund Reserve. And this still leaves the General Fund Reserve balance at a healthy projection of $7,800,000 by the end of the year.
Additionally, PERS provides an option that allows the City to make a lump sum payment on our estimated PERS obligation for each of our PERS Groups (Police, Fire and Miscellaneous Groups). By making this lump sum payment at the beginning of the fiscal year, PERS will give a 3.5% discount on the City's annual estimated PERS payment.
In addition to aggressively tackling our City's debt and its outstanding payments, the Council has chosen to invest in some of our neglected areas of city services: from a "crack seal" contract to better preserve our roads, to the creation of a tree maintenance fund for low and fixed-income residents, to increasing the number of sidewalks and ramps that are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We continue to show that this Council is committed to investing in our roadways, sidewalks, and neighborhoods.
In the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Public Facilities, we are investing in some of our most-used recreation facilities by replacing the unreliable lighting at Pedretti Sports Complex and looking to increase two softball fields at Gemperle Sports Complex. These investments will enhance Turlock's ability to generate revenue from increased use.
In the Department of Police Services, equipment for the re-instated Street Crimes Unit will be supplied, the creation of a crime analyst position will better assist patrol officers in their effort to proactively fight crime, and the addition of four dispatchers to the Emergency Communications Center will better assist all of our City's departments in serving resident needs. Next month, the Council will take a historic vote to re-instate a two-dog K9 Unit to our police force.
In the Department of Fire Services, the allocation of "frontline funds" from Assembly Bill 172 will equip our department with much-needed tools and props for rescue training, additional generators, replacement firehose nozzles, and updated mobile radios. Additionally, this Council voted to accept a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant. If awarded to the City of Turlock later in the year, the grant would fund three new firefighter positions for two years before the Council pays for their continued support.
Overall, this budget places our City on a clear path to a balanced budget by the end of the year, while also restoring the most vital needs of our fire, police, parks, recreation, public facilities, and engineering departments. It also allows the City to avoid nearly $2 million in interest payments by paying down debt with the highest interest rate.
I ran for mayor based on two basic principles: that I would offer a "clear vision" for our City, and that this would be accomplished through "bold leadership." This adopted budget is just that: clear and bold. It is this Council's responsibility to make sure taxpayer funds are used wisely. By adopting this bold budget, we have done just that.

K. Briggs/Citizen of Turlock says:
I would like to thank Gary Soiseth for his bold and innovative leadership style as the Mayor of Turlock. Gary has set forth a progressive partnership with local business and adheres to transparency in local government. I applaud Gary for his steadfastness and dedication in supporting the City of Turlock and look forward to his continued years of service to this community.
For those who are critical of Gary, his door is always open to listen to your ideas in bettering this community but remember annonminity postings as "Guest" doesn't resolve any complaints.
Completely corrupt says:
This is a kid Mayor who has no business spending down the city's reserves to pay back the campaign promises he made to the police & fire unions. So Andre puts him in there & he goes against the majority of 5 former councils, who SAVED not spent money. Are you really a "conservative" or just talk like one.
There's nothing bold about bankrupting Turlock says:
Whomever you are Briggs, you obviously are drinking the Soiseith juice. This is someone who is not honest or truthful, and spending $$$ without any disregard for a future recession. I've heard from my neighbors who work for the City, he is micromanager, in every department. I give him six more months and then all of his supporters will join me in scratching their heads.
More Bold Face Lies from Sosieth says:
The first time he knocked on my door and I questioned him about his "service" in Afghanistan with the US Food and Ag dept, I knew he was the worst kind of politician. He'll tell you whatever he thins will get your vote. That's not bold,
Spending money from your reserve is foolish says:
Who raised this kid? We are in the Central Valley, if there is another recession (maybe all of the commentors should read a statewide newspaper), even Governor Brown is worried about a recession…but Turlock's council minus Nascimento, the only one with any common sense, votes to spend more reserve monies, idiots! And you won't support the bike race. Who are you all?
The k. Briggs guy is (Kelly Briggs a turlock police officer) so go figure why he is trying to put sosieth on a pedestal. He must of finally got a raise this year.
More of the same says:
Rich boy playing reindeer games while stomping out any independent business unless it's a corporate box store.
Gary help afghanis grow opium poppies. He's "worked" at the usda who is behind the farm bill, which he also gets check due to his almonds that go overseas.
I will not abdicate to more self enriching government employees.
The sale of war memorial/old city hall was supposed to buy down the cost of new tpd building financing.
There's a reason Kim Briggs is still a patrolman.
Same Song, Different Verse says:
Under these dire circumstances what does Richmond under the leadership of Mayor Tom Butt and long time city manager Bill Lindsay do? Aside of vowing to balance the budget in 2015 (after failing to do so since 2010), their solution is raiding Richmond's rainy day fund of 7% reserves, while borrowing bond money which was earmarked for road repairs to pay for pension payments for city workers. Even these payments do not cover the costs of debt service leading to further red ink for the city.
You guys are a bunch of idiots. I dont care where the money came from nor where it was previously alloted. Anyone who has done jr high math knows that it is financially better to payoff debt before even attempting to save. It's SIMPLE math. Unless he is saving and getting an interest rate of return that is higher than the debt interest than he is doing what is better financially.

Funny Muthas
Yeah! It looks like the Facebook campaign to get Betty White on as host of Saturday Night Live actually worked...
Facebook has gotten Betty White the gig she never asked for: host of Saturday Night Live.
The 88-year-old actress, beloved by generations of TV fans, will host NBC's late-night veteran May 8. The Mother's Day episode also will feature a reunion of six former female cast members, most of them moms: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch.
Michaels says that as the live show's oldest host, she can perform "as much as she wants to do" but adds that the physical demands of the show led him to plan the cast reunion, though make no mistake: White is the solo host.
With Betty and that cast of hilarious women from SNL past...it should be an amazing show. Hopefully they'll let Tina Fey and Amy Poehler write most of the sketches.
And, fingers crossed, perhaps we'll get a visit from Tina Fey's Sara Palin and, my personal favorite...
Mary Katherine Gallagher.

Q: How to change the message of Verify.js? I want to change the text that prompt when the data-validate returns false when submitting the form using Verify.js
form:
<form>
  <input name="test" value="" data-validate="required">
  <input type="submit" class="submit">
</form>

I tried to use this in an external js file but it doesn't work :
 $(document).ready(function(){
 $.verify.updateRules({required:{message:"another text"}});
    });

A: Just putting this here as the "answer"... after looking into this, I've decided to enter it in as an issue on the Verify.js repo: https://github.com/jpillora/verifyjs/issues/32
While Verify.js improves the stability of their API, I advise you to use http://jqueryvalidation.org/. It's very mature and easy to use. For you use case, you may be interested in the rules fn:
$( ".test" ).rules( "add", {
  required: true,
  minlength: 2,
  messages: {
    required: "Required input",
    minlength: jQuery.validator.format("must be at least {0} characters")
  }
});

A: If you look into the verify js file and make a search for
//public interface
ruleManager = {
  addFieldRules: addFieldRules,
  ...

and you extend the list with this line:
updateRules: updateRules,

it will work. It worked for me.
