Looking for a last minute weekend away? Australia's 5th largest city can sometimes be overshadowed in favour of the bigger cities in this country, but with a population of 1.2 million, Adelaide is larger than Amsterdam, San Francisco, Athens, and Detroit - to name just a few. Adelaide springs to life at this time of year with natural beauty and community events to delight all visitors, and of course Adelaideans know this already.
The Festival State Lives up to the Name
Festivals are well and truly underway at this time of year, with the Fringe, Art, and Cellar Door Wine Festivals, the touring event Clipsal 500, and this year even the Cricket World Cup taking place. With a line up like that, there's something for everyone.
The Garden of Unearthly Delights, along with Gluttony in the park opposite and the Royal Croquet Club in the centrally located Victoria Square make up some of the nearly 40 Fringe Festival supervenues to see Australia's best comedy, music, cabaret, and theatre acts. Soak up the atmosphere from local food stalls, fairground rides, and entertainers.
When the Night Comes...the Party Starts
Small bar licences were introduced in 2013 and the evening scene in the CBD has been transformed. Diverse venues have been popping up all over the city, with the main hub of quirky liquor and foodie aficionados gathering around Peel Street and Leigh Street. You can bar hop between venues and stroll through the alley which joins the two parallel streets, all the while enjoying great local produce and music genres: From African drumming and tapas in Casablabla, to some rocking 60s throwbacks and cocktails in the hideaway bar Maybe Mae.
To see the heart of the wine industry, pack the car and head out of the city to the Clare and Barossa Valley wine regions. The drive is an easy 45 minutes to the closest wine region, and here in the Adelaide Hills vineyards produce some of this country's best Riesling and Shiraz tipples.
Chilled Beachside Vibes and Secret Surfs
To the west are the beautiful sandy beaches. For the families, Glenelg Beach is a short tram ride from the city centre but if you are staying for the day and packing supplies, there is plenty of parking on Elizabeth, Cowper and Partridge Street.
To the south is best for surfing, either protected beaches such as Aldinga Beach 50 minutes down the coast, or the exposed Victor Harbour just over an hour's drive south on the other side of the headland. Summer can mean less predictable surf, but looking at the silver lining there's just another reason to return to the Festival State again in winter.
For a trip longer than a weekend, Port Augusta to Broken Hill is a great outback drive to see more of South Australia and cross in to New South Wales. Book your car hire for either one of these drives either online or call us on 1300 656 601 today!

Spain Dominates FIFPro World XI Nominations
FIFPro, the worldwide players' union, and FIFA have announced the 55 names in contention for the FIFA FIFPro World11 2018.
The FIFA FIFPro World11 is decided by the players, for the players and involves votes from almost 25,000 professional footballers from 65 different countries. During voting, they each select one goalkeeper, four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards.
This year's list includes some familiar names, and standout statistics. Ten of last year's World11 return to make the 55-man list, with Real Madrid the most-represented club side, seeing a full 11 players make the cut. Spain (nine) and France (eight) are the countries with the most players represented on the list.
The World XI will be unveiled by FIFA and FIFPro during The Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony in London on September 24.
Luka Modric was named after his stellar season in 2017-18, helping Real Madrid to their third successive Champions League crown as well as starring in Croatia's run to the World Cup final.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, was snubbed by UEFA in the Player of the Year award as Modric beat him and Salah to take the trophy. Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes, called the decision a "disgrace."
World Cup winners France are well represented with Paul Pogba, Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe all on the list.
The shortlist of goalkeepers, defenders and attackers is a who's who of world football talent, with David De Gea joining last year's winner, Gianluigi Buffon, on the keepers shortlist. Virgil van Dijk, the most expensive defender in history at £75m, is among the top defenders, while Pogba, Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne and N'Golo Kante are in the running as part of the midfielders category. Up top, Ronaldo and Salah are joined by Messi, Neymar and Harry Kane.
Kane enjoyed another fine season in front of goal, culminating in winning the Golden Boot as England reached the World Cup semifinals. Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo were eventually named the attackers in last year's World XI. This time around, there was no place for Real Madrid's Gareth Bale, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alexis Sanchez also missed the cut.
FIFPro World XI shortlist in full:
Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon (Italy, Juventus/Paris Saint-Germain), Thibaut Courtois (Belgium, Chelsea/Real Madrid), David de Gea (Spain, Manchester United), Keylor Navas (Costa Rica, Real Madrid), Marc-Andre ter Stegen (Germany, Barcelona)
Defenders: Jordi Alba (Spain, Barcelona), Dani Alves (Brazil, Paris Saint-Germain), Dani Carvajal (Spain, Real Madrid), Giorgio Chiellini (Italy, Juventus), Virgil van Dijk (Netherlands, Southampton/Liverpool), Diego Godin (Uruguay, Atletico Madrid), Mats Hummels (Germany, Bayern Munich), Joshua Kimmich (Germany, Bayern Munich), Dejan Lovren (Croatia, Liverpool), Marcelo (Brazil, Real Madrid), Yerry Mina (Colombia, Barcelona/Everton), Benjamin Pavard (France, Stuttgart), Gerard Pique (Spain, Barcelona), Sergio Ramos (Spain, Real Madrid), Thiago Silva (Brazil, Paris Saint-Germain), Kieran Trippier (England, Tottenham Hotspur), Samuel Umtiti (France, Barcelona), Raphael Varane (France, Real Madrid), Sime Vrsaljko (Croatia, Atletico Madrid/Inter), Kyle Walker (England, Manchester City)
Midfielders: Sergio Busquets (Spain, Barcelona), Casemiro (Brazil, Real Madrid), Philippe Coutinho (Brazil, Liverpool/Barcelona), Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium, Manchester City), Eden Hazard (Belgium, Chelsea), Andres Iniesta (Spain, Barcelona/Vissel Kobe), Isco (Spain, Real Madrid), N'Golo Kante (France, Chelsea), Toni Kroos (Germany, Real Madrid), Nemanja Matic (Serbia, Manchester United), Luka Modric (Croatia, Real Madrid), Paul Pogba (France, Manchester United), Ivan Rakitic (Croatia, Barcelona), David Silva (Spain, Manchester City), Arturo Vidal (Chile, Bayern Munich/Barcelona)
Forwards: Karim Benzema (France, Real Madrid), Edinson Cavani (Uruguay, Paris Saint-Germain), Paulo Dybala (Juventus, Argentina), Antoine Griezmann (France, Atletico Madrid), Harry Kane (England, Tottenham Hotspur), Robert Lewandowski (Poland, Bayern Munich), Romelu Lukaku (Belgium, Manchester United), Mario Mandzukic (Croatia, Juventus), Sadio Mane (Senegal, Liverpool), Kylian Mbappe (France, Paris Saint-Germain), Lionel Messi (Argentina, Barcelona), Neymar (Brazil, Paris Saint-Germain), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal, Real Madrid/Juventus), Mohamed Salah (Egypt, Liverpool), Luis Suarez (Uruguay, Barcelona)

Toledo Blade Columnist: 'Special Squads of Police' Should Disarm Americans
by Warner Todd Huston in All News, Breaking News, Country News, Government News, North American News, Odd News, Ohio News, Regional News, Second Amendment News, Society and Culture, State News, Supreme Court News, US News, US Politics
Since the VT shootings in Blacksburg, Virginia, we have seen all manner of wild-eyed, anti-gunners come out of the woodwork to cynically use this crime as a chance to beat their gun grabbing drums. But, proposing that we send government Stormtroopers to smash down the doors of every home with a gun in it to confiscate their Constitutionally legal firearms is a step I haven't seen in a purportedly responsible newspaper. That is, until the Toledo Blade published a proposal for taking away our right to self-protection that included "Special squads of police" with unlimited powers to confiscate all guns. A hit squad that would traipse about the country invading homes at will and accosting peaceful citizens everywhere.
The author of this tyrannical proposal is Dan Simpson, who is described as "a retired Ambassador" and a "member of the editorial boards of The Blade and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. " He is a former US Ambassador to various African states… which can easily be read to mean one who thinks government knows best, darn the citizen's rights, apparently.
The piece that oozes from his pen seems overly long, the first half being an attempt by this anti-gun advocate to make it seem as if he really loves guns. After all, he played Cowboys and Indians as a kid and also had a Red Ryder BB gun. Then, later in life, carried a .357 as a "diplomat". But after the hard to believe disclaimers are dispensed with, Simpson launches into his gun banning proposal.
Now, how would one disarm the American population? First of all, federal or state laws would need to make it a crime punishable by a $1,000 fine and one year in prison per weapon to possess a firearm. The population would then be given three months to turn in their guns, without penalty.
There is a major problem legally with this supposed diplomat's plans. He never once mentions that the 2nd Amendment is a Constitutional right of the people to keep and bear arms. His proposal is completely illegal according to the Constitution of the USA unless a Constitutional Convention is called to consider amending the law of the land. One would think that an "Ambassador" would be interested in little things like following the law… but apparently not Mr. Simpson.
Worse, and as mentioned, he wants to form a veritable Stormtrooper army that will maraud throughout the country.
The disarmament process would begin after the initial three-month amnesty. Special squads of police would be formed and trained to carry out the work. Then, on a random basis to permit no advance warning, city blocks and stretches of suburban and rural areas would be cordoned off and searches carried out in every business, dwelling, and empty building. All firearms would be seized. The owners of weapons found in the searches would be prosecuted: $1,000 and one year in prison for each firearm.
… On the streets it would be a question of stop-and-search of anyone, even grandma with her walker, with the same penalties for "carrying."
Perhaps Mr. Simpson became too used to the despotic, all powerful leaders in the failed African states to which he was sent as Ambassador and their style of autocratic government made him envious. But whatever the case, Simpson truly has no grasp of the country in which he lives because he doesn't mention any of it. No mention of the Constitution, our history, world history and the despots who ruled with an iron fist over an unarmed populace, or the principles upon which this country was founded make even a tiny appearance in his piece. Just his desire to hand all power to his hand picked goon squad who will roam about the country attacking law abiding citizens.
The hit squad Simpson envisions isn't his only anti-gun measure, of course.
He proposes gun dealers still be "allowed" to sell guns but only to museums. He thinks hunters should still be allowed their gun but he has created his own ideas of a classified "hunting weapon" that will have to be locked up with the police except during "hunting season" — a vague notion in Simpson's mind obviously. After all, "hunting seasons" are different all over the place and allow for hunting different types of game all year long. Obviously Simpson has no clue of what "hunting season" really means. His idea would necessitate a Federal Hunting law, and would take more power from the various states.
Speaking of hunters, Simpson appears to imagine that all hunters are mass murderers just waiting for their chance to kill all around them, too. But, that their murdering rampages might be a "lesser sort of issue."
There could conceivably also be a rash of score-settling during hunting season as people drew out their weapons, ostensibly to shoot squirrels and deer, and began eliminating various of their perceived two-footed enemies. Given the general nature of hunting weapons and the fact that such killings are frequently time-sensitive, that seems a lesser sort of issue.
Simpson also seems to imagine that Mexico and Canada would rush into the gun selling business once we illegally outlaw them and send our Stormtrooping armies throughout the country to confiscate US citizen's firearms.
America's long land and sea borders present another kind of problem. It is easy to imagine mega-gun dealerships installing themselves in Mexico, and perhaps in more remote parts of the Canadian border area, to funnel guns into the United States. That would constitute a problem for American immigration authorities and the U.S. Coast Guard, but not an insurmountable one over time.
Yet, both Mexico and Canada have stricter gun laws than do we, so how he imagines that they would suddenly both become the virtual WalMart of guns is hard to imagine.
All in all, Simpson has done nothing but reveal that he thinks he is smarter than everyone around him and that only HE should be allowed to make all the rules. He also imagines himself smarter than the Founders as well as more able than the Supreme Court to adjudicate what should be allowable under the US Constitution. Or maybe not on that last point as he doesn't even seem to recognize that there is a Constitution.
It is no wonder that this man doesn't understand Americans and their history, he seems quite unlike one.

I can't believe that a person would even want to put a foolish article in the blade,than for the blade to put the article out to where other editors can put that article in their newspapers just shows how foolish people against the CCW LAW really are.I've talked to different toledo police officers who was against the CCW LAW when the law started in Toledo and now the same officers are happy that Toledo passed the CCW law.


Totally different from our normal thinking which could be combative, blame oriented, and even destructive. See there is a struggle going on in the mind, one part tells us all is well, you love the Lord, your a good person and the other part is always searching for trouble, judging people, jealous of others, telling you your no good, or you will never make it, it even talks about your family and friends to you. This is all to keep us divided in thinking which also keeps the manifestations in our lives limited. We see little changes because our thoughts are confused rather than fixed on one type of thinking as Paul speaks of in Philippian 4:8. The blessing is we can forgive ourselves and start over thinking on lovely and pure things that the desire changes in our lives will come through lining up with Gods plans for our lives! Blessings onward thinking to new heights and levels In Jesus Name!

CANADA FX DEBT-C$ rattled as risk aversion boosts greenback
* C$ gets slapped in aftermath of weak U.S. data
* Slide in C$ cushioned by rally in oil prices
* Bond prices extend Tuesday slide on supply concerns (Recasts with comments and further drop in C$)
By Frank Pingue
TORONTO, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Canada's dollar tumbled to its lowest level since last week versus the greenback at midmorning on Wednesday in a swift move after weak U.S. economic data and falling equities fueled risk aversion trades.
With no key Canadian economic data due until the end of the week, the moves in the currency were being dictated largely by the direction in its U.S. counterpart, which took off on its safe-haven status after data showed the pace of existing home sales in the United States fell in January. [ID:nN25480760]
That data came as North American equities were pinned lower by nagging concerns about the fate of the U.S. banking sector.
"Markets are reacting to news, whether it's economic news or whether it's risk aversion trending by virtue of equity markets that are melting down right now," said Jack Spitz, managing director of foreign exchange at National Bank of Canada.
"It's all contributing to a bid to risk averse currencies favoring the U.S. dollar and that itself is underlying the bid in dollar/Canada."
The Canadian dollar fell as low as C$1.2580 to the U.S. dollar, or 79.49 U.S. cents, down sharply from an overnight high of C$1.2398 to the U.S. dollar, or 80.66 U.S. cents.
By 10:45 a.m. (1545 GMT), the Canadian currency recovered a touch to C$1.2551, or 79.67 U.S. cents, still down from C$1.2433, or 80.43 U.S. cents, at Tuesday's close.
The majority of the Canadian dollar's fall came within minutes of data that showed the pace of existing home sales in the United States fell in January to a 4.49 million units annualized, compared with expectations for a rise to 4.79 million.
Helping to cushion the commodity-linked Canadian dollar's slide was a rise in oil prices to above $40 a barrel, which extended their 4 percent rally in the previous session.
The move in the Canadian currency did not draw much concern among traders as it came on the heels of a 0.6 percent rally in the previous session, when North American equities surged and prices for oil, a key Canadian export, rose.
Also, traders said the Canadian dollar may get a boost later this week as Canadian banks report quarterly earnings. Canadian banks stand to benefit from comparison with problem-plagued U.S. banks, they said.
"Given that Canadian banks still generally appear to be performing quite well relative to the banking sector in the rest of the world it does highlight one of the positive facets of the Canadian dollar at the moment," Cole said.
BONDS PRICES KNOCKED DOWN
Canadian bond prices extended their slide from the previous session as the lack of any Canadian economic data to spark a move left prices to fall alongside the bigger U.S. Treasury market due to nagging concerns about supply.
The next data due out in Canada will be Friday's current account balance for the fourth quarter. The data is expected to show Canada had a current account deficit of C$4.85 billion.
But the current account data is not expected to have a huge impact on Canada's bond market as it will be followed by gross domestic product figures on Monday, which are expected to show the Canadian economy shrank during the fourth quarter of 2008.
That will be followed by the Bank of Canada's interest rate announcement on March 3, when some expect the central bank to cut its key interest rate by a half point to 0.50 percent.
The interest-rate sensitive two-year bond was down 3 Canadian cents at C$102.67 to yield 1.211 percent, while the 10-year bond dropped 27 Canadian cents to C$110.93 to yield 2.895 percent.
The 30-year bond shed 40 Canadian cents to C$124.25 to yield 3.622 percent. (Editing by Peter Galloway)


When many think about the idea of a collaborative divorce, they can wonder about the benefits of trying to resolve a case collaboratively. Some can even contemplate the idea of two collaborative lawyers and the professionals that can help (mental health and financial professionals) can can wonder if all of that is needed.
Some might also worry potentially about the cost of having a team of collaborative professionals assist. Some might think that it might not be necessary.
However, the reality is for a divorce or family law case to settle outside of court, there needs to be a complete agreement on all issues at stake. For example, in a divorce with kids, parties would need to agree on marital property and debt division, child custody, child support, spousal maintenance and attorney's fees.
For a lot of parties, they might agree on several of those items. But there might be one or more areas where the parties do not agree.
Generally, when that is the case, parties can end up litigating their case. When parties litigate, they might send written discovery (interrogatories and requests for production). They might take depositions. Expert witnesses might need to be hired. Then, a trial ultimately will have to take place.
In some cases, after the trial, one party is still unhappy. That can result in an appeal. It might result in later motions to modify and motions for contempt.
At the end of the day, parties do need to contemplate whether they can realistically resolve their case collaboratively. But resolving a case collaboratively can have a tangible benefit.
That tangible benefit might be avoiding future litigation. It might help ensure a trial isn't needed. It might help ensure all the costs of litigation are not needed. It might result in the parties both being generally happy with the result such that later motions to modify and contempt do not take place.
For many parties, the tangible benefits of a collaborative divorce versus a litigated divorce make it worth considering. Collaborative divorce does create the potential for a win-win outcome versus a win-lose outcome.

Citi Bike's Operator Is Failing To Maintain Bikes, Docks
Lauren Evans
Modified Mar 24, 2014
Citi Bike's descent into the financial doldrums is becoming outwardly apparent, with employees lagging behind on making repairs to broken bikes and docks and failing to handle vandalization in a timely manner.
According to the Daily News, the number of docks repaired within 48 hours fell from 64 percent in August to 50 percent in January, despite an agreement forged with Alta Bicycle Share, the program's operator, that 99 percent of downed docks would be back up and running within that time frame.
In addition, each bike is supposed to be given a once-over every month, though in January, only 45 percent got their check-up. In December, that number was reduced to 34 percent. The contract also demands that 98 percent of vandalizations are remedied within four days—in January, only 37 percent were, though that's still a considerable improvement over February's 8 percent.
Rebalancing the stations has also proved problematic, and almost every Citi Bike user can attest to the frequency with which credit card readers are found to be non-functioning—problems that were also reported by Alta Bicycle Share.
It was reported last week that Alta Bicycle Share was forced to lay off workers whose job it is to maintain the bikes and docks, perhaps contributing to the current dismal statistics. (DOT has yet to respond to a request for comment confirming whether the company's financial distress is the cause of the under-served stations.)
Citi Bike launched in May of last year after experiencing several setbacks, namely, trouble with the program's now notoriously glitchy software, as well suffering severe damage at the hand of Hurricane Sandy. The harsh winter has helped neither ridership nor been easy on Citi Bike infrastructure, exacerbating the problem. Last week, Mayor de Blasio effectively crushed any hope that the program—the country's largest—might receive any public funding to help alleviate its financial woes.

This past fall, I made a plant-based chocolate cake for a neighbor's son's birthday. It was a double layered 8 inch cake, and I wanted a frosting (without a ton of sugar!) that was plant-based for the middle. I searched online but didn't really see any good recipes using a minimal amount of sugar, that was easy to whip up and called for ingredients I had at home. Most involved using quite a bit of powdered sugar. There were lots of recipes using Mori-Nu shelf stable silken tofu, but I haven't been able to find that where I live. So….I decided to improvise and try something new – a bit risky as I had only about 1-2 hours before I needed to serve the cake! I had some left over medium firm regular refrigerated tofu sitting in the fridge, so decided to bravely experiment with it to make my dream frosting. And….it worked! This low-sugar, protein-filled and super easy recipe is what I now use for all my cakes. Use this frosting to cover the tops of muffins or cupcakes if you like. I have even used it as a filling for sandwich cookies with good results. And if your children want to eat your leftover cake frosting, let them because they'll get a good dose of nutrients like calcium, iron and protein from it!
A vegan, egg-free, dairy-free, oil-free, protein-rich frosting recipe you can whip up in no time!
Take half a block of the Firm or Medium Firm refrigerated tofu (this is not the silken tofu product that comes in unrefrigerated boxes such as Mori-Nu brand or other brands) or what would be roughly equivalent to 1 cup of chopped tofu.
Sandwich the tofu block with two pieces of paper towel and between two heavy plates. Let the water drain out of the tofu to soak the paper towels. After 10 minutes, remove and replace the paper towels with dry ones.
Repeat this process again after 10 minutes with dry paper towels, then check the tofu. If the paper towels are quite wet, replace with dry paper towels and let the tofu be pressed for an additional 10 minutes.
Once the tofu block is pressed relatively dry, remove the tofu from under the heavy plates and cut the tofu into cubes to fill a '1 cup' measuring cup. Set aside.
Halfway through the tofu draining process, you can start to prepare the soy milk mixture. Mix the cornstarch and soy milk until well blended in a small pot.
Immediately measure out ¼ cup (or 4 tablespoons) of this soy-cornstarch mixture into a small bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
Put this soy/cornstarch/maple syrup concoction with the cup of chopped tofu into a food processor and pulse for 1-2 minutes, stopping often to scrape down the sides of the container using a rubber spatula.
Once fully blended and mixed together, the frosting should be a smooth creamy texture. Check the consistency to see if you need to add a little bit more plant-based milk (add 1-2 teaspoons at a time as needed) or a little bit more sweetness.
Follow the instructions as above, except add in 4 teaspoons of cocoa powder and an extra tablespoon of maple syrup into the food processor when blending.
Pulse a few times until combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container as needed.
If you would like a darker chocolate color, add another 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder to the food processor contents. Taste and further adjust the sweetness level to your liking.
Follow the instructions as above, except cook a small beet while the tofu is draining. To do this: steam a beet for 10 -15 minutes (until a knife goes through the beet without difficulty), then let the beet cool.
Remove the skin of the beet and finely dice up a slice of it to get a teaspoon of finely minced beets (you may want to wear gloves). For the rest of the beet, simply slice it up to use in your salad, soup or as a side dish for the next meal time!
Add in the teaspoon of diced beets to the food processor contents with the soya-cornstarch mixture, maple syrup and tofu cubes. Pulse a few times until combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container as needed.
If you prefer a darker pink or reddish hue to your frosting, simply add more diced beets (about a teaspoon at a time) to the food processor until the desired color is reached. Use the frosting on your cake or cupcake!
While the tofu is draining, you could be doing other things in the kitchen, like finishing up the cake you are baking! If you like, you can also press out the tofu earlier in the day or the day before. Just keep the pressed tofu in the fridge to stay refrigerated until you use it to make the frosting.
The finished frosting is soft and moist, and it stays that way, so don't expect it to harden and dry up. This frosting will also have an off-white creamy tinge due to the brown maple syrup (the same if honey, brown sugar or agave nectar is used). So if you are looking for a completely white cake frosting, you may need to use powdered sugar or white sugar in place of the maple syrup. Since the powdered sugar or white sugar is not liquid, you can adjust the recipe by adding a teaspoon or two more of the plant-based milk when blending if needed.
Keep the frosted cake, muffins or cupcakes refrigerated until serving time. Store leftover frosting or frosted baked goods in the refrigerator.
This recipe is enough to provide a frosted middle layer and the top of a double decker 8-inch diameter cake. If you need enough frosting to cover the entire cake including the sides, it is best to double this frosting recipe. Finally, if you find the frosting slightly sticky especially at the top so that it is difficult to pipe words on it, you can dust the top with a fine thin layer of powdered sugar.
This frosting doesn't work well frozen, but it keeps in the fridge for at least 3-4 days, so you can make it beforehand. I love that this frosting recipe is so simple to put together and that it doesn't require the silken tofu!
When I served this vegan cake at the party later in the evening, everyone devoured it and only 2 pieces were left for the birthday boy to take home!

'They treated us like the hired help': Clinton bodyguard criticises 'aloof' Hillary and 'arrogant' staff
Dan Emmett savages White House personnel in controversial new book
Hillary Clinton never said 'thank you' unlike her husband and daughter
Young staff displayed 'fundamental traits of rudeness and arrogance'
Accuses Bill Clinton of endangering lives on North-South Korea border
Mr Clinton also dealt 'nightmare scenario' by insisting on running in public
By Simon Tomlinson
Updated: 07:46 EDT, 8 March 2012
A former U.S. Secret Service agent has launched a stinging attack on the Clinton administration staff he used to protect - branding them arrogant and claiming that ex-First Lady Hillary Clinton was aloof.
Breaking from tradition, Dan Emmett has laid bare a series of anecdotes about the inner workings of the White House in a controversial book.
He tells how Mrs Clinton, now Secretary of State, never said 'thank you' to agents, unlike her husband, Bill, and their daughter, Chelsea.
Aloof: Hillary Clinton (pictured in 2008) would never say 'thank you' to the Secret Service agents who protected her during her husband's presidency, according to a former member of the protection unit
Ungrateful: Her demeanor was colder than that of Mr Clinton and their daughter Chelsea (centre)
This trait, he added, was found in even greater measure among the young White House personnel, whom he said displayed 'fundamental traits of rudeness and arrogance' which, at times, bordered on dangerous.
'Most of these youngsters were from wealthy families and many viewed Secret Service agents as the hired help,' he wrote in the autobiography Within Arm's Length.
What will Michelle say? Obama gets a VERY warm Southern... 'We hid this during the election': Obama ally confesses he...
How many First Ladies can you fit on a stage? Michelle Obama...
One unnamed Clinton employee treated a Russian KGB agent on one presidential visit 'as if he were dealing with a Wackenhut security officer in Toledo.'
He also accuses Mr Clinton of putting his own life and those of his agents at risk by insisting on a 'totally pointless photo op' on the North Korea-South Korea border.
Dan Emmett's controversial book Within Arm's Length in which he criticises the Clinton administration
During the trip in 1993, he said the former President went too far along the bridge separating the two nations, according to the Washington Examiner.
'No-one seemed to know if President Clinton grasped how potentially dangerous this stop on the bridge was,' he writes.
'The Secret Service obviously believed this move unwise'
He added: 'Nevertheless, he was POTUS and he wanted to stand on the bridge, so stand on the bridge he would do.'
In another account, Emmett said Mr Clinton 'dealt us this nightmare' by insisting on jogging in public.
Agents tried to change his mind and even went as far as building a quarter-mile track inside the White House confines.
But Mr Clinton was unpersuaded and asked the presidential protective division to come up some routes outside the grounds, it was reported on Chicago Tribune News.
'The worst thing for the Secret Service is to take a sitting president into public when no one has been swept and anyone could be out there,' he said.
Emmett, who also served under George H.W. Bush and now works as a teacher, has been criticised by the service for publishing his tell-all.
Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan told the Washington Examiner: 'It causes concern because we don't want to erode the trust that we have with our protectees.'
Double jeopardy: President Clinton (left) greets troops at the 'Bridge of No Return' on the North-South Korea border in 1993 where, Dan Emmett claims, he put lives in danger by walking too far along the bridge for a 'pointless photo op', while his insistence on jogging in public proved a 'nightmare' situation for his agents
Secret Service agent: Hillary Clinton was aloof and White House staff were arrogant

Q: Sharing business logic - Web App and Scheduled tasks Is that okay to share the business logic between a web application and scheduled tasks.
Or should the business logic of the scheduled tasks be separated.
Currently some of the methods of the business logic layer are used only by the scheduled tasks. This seems a little dirty to me taking in consideration the SoC principle. Waiting for answers.

A: Keeping all your business logic consolidated in one place is usually the better option, when other requirements don't make the choice for you. One way to do this is to make scheduled tasks simply call a web hosted method, which it sounds like you are doing. This also comes with the benefit of giving you flexibility to change how scheduled tasks are triggered, or if some tasks may need to be ran on demand in the future.
What uses your business logic isn't really something you need to really be concerned with, apart from unauthorized use. Your business logic layer should only be concerned what your business logic is, not who is consuming any particular piece of it. you seems to be getting a little too into implementation details with separation of concerns.

Relax! There's Enough Love Pie To Satisfy Everybody
Do You Tell The Truth To Your Partner?
Deborah Anapol, Ph.D.
Love is infinite
One of the deepest and most common human fears is the fear of not being loved. Our language encourages us to think of love as a substance, something that can be given, something that can be received, something that can be taken away. We imagine that love is like a pie that can be cut into slices and eaten up. Some slices may be larger and juicier than others and these contain more love. The bigger your piece, the less there is for me. This false image of love as a pie is masterfully laid to rest in a short story by Amy Bloom in which a dying mother explains to her daughter that she shows up differently with each person she loves and that there's plenty of love for everyone.
Love grows with use
In reality, love is not an object. We can feel it, but we can not touch it. We can not see it, but we can observe its effects. Like oxygen, the presence of love is life enhancing, and has a measurable impact upon the body. Unlike oxygen, love is not an odorless and tasteless gas that can be metabolized and used up. Love is not diminished by its expenditure, but like well-invested capital, the more we use it, the more it grows. If we understood that love is a frequency, a vibration, a state of consciousness, which can be summoned at will and is totally inexhaustible, our fears of losing love would lose their power over us.
This kind of love is like a radio station, broadcasting twenty-four hours a day. You can always tune in to the love channel. Like a radio broadcast, love is available to an unlimited number of listeners. All that's required is that you find its signal on the dial of your built-in receiver.
Love needs trust and surrender to grow
Sounds simple, doesn't it? And it is, unless your dial is mislabeled or your antenna has been retracted. If you have grown up confusing love with attachment, dependency, sexual attraction, romantic illusion, lust, infatuation, or obligation you may be tuning to the wrong station. You keep hoping for some really upbeat, feel good music and instead you're getting an all news station. If on the other hand, you haven't learned the arts of trust and surrender, you may have difficulty getting a clear signal. One minute it's sounding great and the next all you have is static.
Love is unconditional
One of my clients, a woman in her fifties with five grown children, mistakenly believed that "if you love someone, you're supposed to take care of them." After mothering five children, it seemed natural to Sally to take care of her new boyfriend, Jeff, in the same way she'd taken care of her little ones. For several years she offered financial and emotional support, cooked for him, shopped for him, and expected nothing in return except his "love." Jeff was by nature a very emotionally expressive and communicative man. He complimented Sally often and bought her presents. He shared his feelings and was always available to listen when she'd had a hard day. Like her children, Jeff came to rely upon Sally to meet his basic needs. For the first time in her life, Sally felt loved by a man. And she craved this so much she ignored the unwritten contract she knew existed between them.
When the Jeff became dependent on her support and she became attached to his company, Sally called it love. Jeff began to feel obligated and resentful. When he left her for a woman who didn't care take and "made him feel like a man" she was heart broken. "I was under his spell for a long time," she lamented. But we could also say that rather than being his victim, she was an unconscious participant in the cultural trance that mystifies attachment and dependency by calling them love.
Pure, unconditional, natural, no strings attached love
Have you ever looked into the eyes of a baby who is old enough to focus their gaze and young enough to be innocent of separation, judgment, and blame? This is the vibration of love. There are no words to be exchanged, nothing required other than the willingness to be there and feel what's present. At any moment a sudden movement, sound, or bright light may distract the baby's attention away from you, but it doesn't matter. Once you've tuned to this frequency you can take it with you.
Most people believe that love is about getting your needs met or feeling appreciated, valued, and secure. There is nothing wrong with wanting these things and nothing wrong with getting them; most humans want this very much. The first mistake we make is in thinking about love in terms of what we will receive rather than what we will give. This mistake is compounded when we imagine that giving and receiving, wonderful as they are, are a substance called love.

Deborah Taj Anapol, Ph.D., asks us to examine our conditioning and assumptions about the nature of Love and the right use of sexual energy. What is love? What is sex? How do they relate to spirit? How do they express through human bodies, hearts, and minds? What would mastery of love and sex mean for our intimate relationships? There is not one "right" way to structure a relationship. It's about allowing love to flow with full awareness, integrity, and authenticity. Deborah Anapol, Ph.D. is a writer, seminar leader, and relationship coach who has specialized in working with partners and singles exploring the integration of love, sexuality, and spirituality for nearly three decades. Dr. Anapol is a dynamic and entertaining speaker who has appeared on radio and television programs all across the USA and Canada and leads workshops internationally. She has raised two daughters and has two grandchildren. Visit her in cyberspace at www.lovewithoutlimits.com.

She is the producer of the video, Pelvic Heart Integration, documenting the work of Dr. Jack Painter. Dr.Anapol is presently based in California and Hawaii.
It's true that caretaking can destroy love. It's often more based on the need to be needed. But although love may be unconditional, relationships aren't nor should be unconditional. We all have needs we want met in a relationship and hopefully have some bottom lines of what we won't accept. These are our conditions, otherwise we can become doormats for abuse. Some people look or unconditional love because they don't accept themselves and are seeking external validation. When we love and respect ourselves, we're better able to give that and respect others' boundaries, as well.

In regard to "Alameda Landing Tax Picture Shaping Up," Feb. 6, this is appropriate.

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, early detection and treatment of many sight-threatening diseases may prevent visual loss.
When it comes to children, the most important preventive steps are routine eye examinations, visual screening tests, and preventing eye trauma. Newborns are examined in the nursery for eye infections and eye disorders. Children should receive their first comprehensive eye examination at about age 3, unless a specific condition or history of family childhood vision problems warrants an earlier examination.
Eye trauma is an important cause of vision loss in children. Eye trauma refers to any injury to the eye. Prevent Blindness America states that about one-third of eye loss in children under 10 years of age is from trauma to the eye. As a parent, you can help your child avoid eye trauma with the proper use of safety equipment during sports and recreational activities.

D?j? vu all over again—again
Once more, the United States doesn't have enough of a vaccine—this time, flu vaccine. Just as the influenza season was about to start, the bad news hit the headlines: The entire output of the California-based Chiron company's influenza vaccine has been condemned by the authorities in the United Kingdom, where Chiron's vaccine, Fluvinir, is manufactured. US authorities had counted on 100 million doses of flu vaccine this year—up from 87 million available last year. About half that amount was to be supplied by Chiron.
By mid-October, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Aventis Pasteur had announced the first phase of a collaborative plan to allocate and distribute to areas of need 22.4 million doses of vaccine that had not already been shipped. Priority groups identified by both the CDC and the AAP are listed in the accompanying table. Children and adults outside these priority categories will have to go without. Distribution will begin with hospitals, long-term care facilities, nursing homes, and private providers who care for young children. Says CDC Director Julie Gerberding, MD: "This plan will help ensure that vaccine gets to those people who need it most."
Fundamental flaws in the way vaccines are produced and distributed in the US-including too few manufacturers and an outmoded egg-based means of production-have been identified repeatedly but not addressed. Will the latest crisis goad Congress into mandating thoroughgoing reforms? At a news briefing, Health and Human Services officials said they are discussing incentives to lure manufacturers to the market.


Flowers—White veined with pink, or all pink, the veinings of deeper shade, on curving, slender pedicels, several borne in a terminal loose raceme, the flowers mostly turned one way (secund). Calyx of 2 ovate sepals; corolla of 5 petals slightly united by their bases; 5 stamens, 1 inserted on base of each petal; the style &-cleft. Stem: Weak, 6 to 12 in. long, from a deep, tuberous root. Leaves: Opposite above, linear to lance-shaped, shorter than basal ones, which are 3 to 7 in. long; breadth variable.
Preferred Habitat—Moist woods, open groves, low meadows. Flowering Season—March—May.
Distribution—Nova Scotia and far westward, south to Georgia and Texas.
Very early in the spring a race is run with the hepatica, arbutus, adder's tongue, blood-root, squirrel corn, and anemone for the honor of being the earliest wild flower; and although John Burroughs and Doctor Abbot have had the exceptional experience of finding the claytonia even before the hepatica—certainly the earliest spring blossom worthy the name in the Middle and New England states—of course the rank Skunk Cabbage, whose name is snobbishly excluded from the list of fair competitors, has quietly opened dozens of minute florets in its incurved horn before the others have even started.

Why Haven't You Seen This Movie ~ This is My Life
by Joe Down from the Shelf, Mid-Day Mini, Movie Review, Why Haven't You Seen This Movie?	• Tags: 1992, 20th Century Fox, Carrie Fisher, Dan Akyroyd, Gaby Hoffmann, Julie Kavner, Meg Wolitzer, Nora Ephron, Samantha Mathis, This is My Life
Synopsis: A stand-up comic neglects her two daughters in the midst of her newfound fame.
Stars: Julie Kavner, Samantha Mathis, Gaby Hoffmann, Carrie Fisher, Dan Akyroyd
Director: Nora Ephron
TMMM Score: (6.5/10)
Review: Shortly after writer/director Nora Ephron passed away in the summer of 2012 I began looking for This is My Life, her directorial debut from 1992. I'd seen it numerous times and even owned a copy on VHS but it was just nowhere to be found so I eventually forgot about it. Enjoying the films she wrote like Heartburn and When Harry Met Sally…, I was more interested in the films she directed.
I wasn't about to revisit You've Got Mail mostly because the AOL age update to The Shop Around the Corner is so dated you'd need to be an amnesiac emerging from a time machine to really enjoy it. I also wasn't up for the sappy but still warm to the touch PG-ness of Sleepless in Seattle. And even Madeline Khan's presence in Mixed Nuts couldn't get me to take that mess for a spin again. No…it had to be This is My Life or nothing.
Flash forward a few months later to a sleepy Sunday morning and I was browsing On Demand making the Sophie's Choice between…well…Sophie's Choice and some Bruce Willis movie when lo and behold there was This is My Life streaming for free. Jackpot! 93 minutes later I remembered why Ephron's no-frills first feature was high on my list to see…and her name is Julie Kavner.
There seem to be two audiences that know Kavner. One is from her days playing sister to Valerie Harper on Rhoda and the other only recognizes Kavner as Marge, the animated matriarch on The Simpsons. Kavner (Radio Days) has rarely had a chance to let loose on screen, certainly never in a leading role which makes this bittersweet comedy a real gem.
Adapted by Ephron from a novel by Meg Wolitzer, This is My Life is the story of a department store cosmetics lady that wants to be a stand-up comedian. Raising two daughters as a single mother, she gets by by making due and making others laugh. When her star begins to rise and eventually takes off, mother and daughters get some hard lessons on the price of fame.
As is the case of most films about comedians, very little of the material is actually funny with Kavner's character telling some pretty dusty jokes about the trials of being a single mother. (Zoinks!) It's very hard to make material that works better live seem as immediate as being there and that's one of the areas the film struggles through…but thankfully the rimshot jokes wind up playing second fiddle to the drama taking place offstage.
It's easy to see why this film got lost in the shuffle at the box office. With no bankable star and a female heavy presence, audiences and studios didn't know what to do with it so it flamed out quickly and landed on video soon after. Though it's no work of art, there's an assured charm to it all that makes even the more conventional emotional outburst (and there are probably two too many) work.
While Ephron had some true triumphs as a writer, her career as a director was spotty. Of the eight films she directed less than half are worth a second viewing and that's being generous. Still, films like This is My Life aren't likely to be made even in this day and age so this laughter through the tears melodrama is a worthwhile reminder of what made Ephron's voice such a special one.
Got something you think I should see?
Tweet me, or like me and I shall do my best to oblige!

The Siwalik fossil record of the Indian subcontinent documents ecosystem changes under different configurations of geodynamically controlled barriers and climatic change. Over the Neogene, the Siwalik faunal province, which extended from Pakistan to Myanmar, was either isolated or connected to Eurasia depending on sea level and montane barriers. Four biogeographic modes result from the interaction of permeable versus impermeable barriers and changing versus stable climates. Each mode corresponds to a unique set of macroevolutionary predictions for vertebrate faunas. For example, the combination of permeable barriers and climatic stability should result in low rates of immigration, speciation, and extinction, and stable ecological structure of Siwalik vertebrate faunas. Three of the four modes are present within the Siwalik sequence of northern Pakistan.
We analyzed the diversification history of Siwalik mammals from 18.0 to 5.5 Ma based on fossil collections from northern Pakistan and evaluated whether periods of faunal change or stability correspond to the predictions for three biogeographic modes. We calculated confidence intervals on species durations and then analyzed per-capita rates of origination, extinction, diversification, and turnover per 0.5-myr intervals for small mammals (<1 kg) and large mammals (>1 kg) separately. During two intervals of permeable barriers and changing climatic conditions, both small mammals and large mammals showed similar patterns of diversification, with a middle Miocene interval dominated by high origination rates and positive diversification and a late Miocene interval dominated by high extinction rates and negative diversification. During a middle Miocene interval of impermeable barriers and stable climate, large mammals exhibited stable diversity and small mammals showed modest turnover without significant change in diversity. During a late Miocene interval of permeable boundaries and stable climate, large mammals showed significant turnover but little change in diversity, whereas small mammals exhibited stable diversity. These patterns suggest that changing climatic conditions affect small mammals and large mammals in a similar manner via geographic-range shifts. In contrast, under stable climatic conditions, small mammals and large mammals showed non-synchronous turnovers and stable diversity. These contrasting patterns of faunal change and stability support the concept of multiple biogeographic modes of biotic change.

Q: Change locale name in Rails 4 I have a multilingual Rails app where I would like to include also a Czech locale. My problem is, that locale in Rails for Czech is cs while a more common abbreviation for Czech is cz. My client requires their locale (which is used in URI) to be cz. I can't use cz right away because it throws an error about unkown locale.
My question therefore is, how can I change the abbreviation of a locale to a desired one?
I'm using Rails 4 with i18n gem.

A: Do the following:

*

*For application.rb:

# ...
config.i18n.available_locales = %w(en cz)
# ...

*Ensure you have config/locales/cz.yml
Then, in console:
I18n.locale = :cz
=> :cz
I18n.t(:a)
=> "b"

Star Caught in Act of Gobbling Up Planet
By Jeanna Bryner , | Space.com
A planet outside of the solar system has been discovered orbiting a dying, puffed-up star called a red giant.
The finding could help astronomers learn more about the fate of our solar system.
The newly discovered exoplanet is nearly six times the mass of Jupiter and orbits the red giant star HD 102272, which is located 1,200 light-years away in the constellation Leo. To date, about 20 red giants are known to support planets.
The researchers suspect another world is orbiting farther out in the system. If confirmed, the system would be the first red giant star known to support more than one planet.
• Click here to visit FOXNews.com's Space Center.
Small and medium-sized stars like our sun become red giants when they exhaust all of their hydrogen fuel near the end of their lives.
The stars' cores contract and begin to burn helium, while their outer shells balloon up to 100 times their original size. When our sun does that, Earth and other planets will be vaporized.
The finding, which will be published in a forthcoming issue of the Astrophysical Journal, will shed light on how bloated stars interact with their resident planets.
The new planet orbits closer than any other world to its red giant parent, orbiting just 0.6 astronomical units (AU) from the star.
The researchers suggest this distance could be the limit, with no planets venturing in closer to a red giant.
"When red-giant stars expand, they tend to eat up the nearby planets," said researcher Alexander Wolszczan, an astrophysicist at Penn State. "There appears to be a zone of avoidance around such stars of about 0.6 astronomical units."
One astronomical unit is equal to the average distance between Earth and the sun.
The researchers detected the planet with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope of McDonald Observatory in Texas. They used the radial velocity method, which involves measuring the slight wobbles of a star caused by the tug of an orbiting planet.
The host star is currently about 10 times the size of the sun, but it will eventually expand to up to 100 times the size of the sun.
Since the star is a relatively young red giant, this mushrooming will probably not take place for another 100 million years, Wolszczan said. At that time, the star's outer shell will engulf this exoplanet.
"The planet finds itself orbiting, not in a vacuum anymore, but in gas that imposes a drag on the planet," Wolszczan told SPACE.com. "So its orbital energy gets lost to the surrounding atmosphere of the star through friction. And so [the planet] starts spiraling in."
While red giants vaporize those planets closest to them, they could thaw more distant worlds in their systems, creating new havens for life.
This could happen in our own solar system when our sun begins its transition into a red giant in about 5 billion years, Wolszczan said.
Earth will likely be destroyed, but more distant — and currently frozen — worlds such as Jupiter's frozen moon Europa will survive and perhaps be bathed in sunlight as our star rapidly expands.
Europa "may become a very pleasant, nice ocean world," Wolszczan said. "There would still be more than a billion years of time for life to develop again somewhere else in the solar system, even though at this point it is not quite possible."

Q: Using HttpClient, how would I prevent automatic redirects and get original status code and forwading Url in the case of 301 I have the following method that returns the Http status code of a given Url:
public static async void makeRequest(int row, string url)
{
    string result;
    Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch(); sw.Start();

    try
    {
        using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
        {
            HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage();
            response = await client.GetAsync(url);

            // dump contents of header
            Console.WriteLine(response.Headers.ToString());

            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                result = ((int)response.StatusCode).ToString();
            }
            else
            {
                result = ((int)response.StatusCode).ToString();
            }
        }
    }
    catch (HttpRequestException hre)
    {
        result = "Server unreachable";
    }

    sw.Stop();
    long time = sw.ElapsedTicks / (Stopwatch.Frequency / (1000L * 1000L));

    requestComplete(row, url, result, time);
}

It works well for 200/404 etc, however in the case of 301 codes I believe the returned result is the already-redirected (200) result, rather than the actual 301 that should be returned and which would have a header containing where the redirect would be pointed to.
I have seen something like this in other .Net web requests classes and the technique there was to set some sort of allowAutoRedirect property to false. If this is along the right lines, can anyone tell me the correct alternative for the HttpClient class?
This post has info on the above allowAutoRedirect concept I mean
Else, how might I get this method to return 301s rather than 200s for Urls I know to be genuine 301s?

A: I have found that the way to do this is by creating an instance of HttpClientHandler and passing it in the constructor of HttpClient
public static async void makeRequest(int row, string url)
{
    string result;
    Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch(); sw.Start();

    // added here
    HttpClientHandler httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler();
    httpClientHandler.AllowAutoRedirect = false;

    try
    {
        // passed in here
        using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient(httpClientHandler))
        {

        }

RIP Jim Fassel
By Walter Mitchell Jun 8, 2021, 12:17pm MDT
Share All sharing options for: RIP Jim Fassel
Robert Deutsch via Imagn Content Services, LLC
For those Cardinals' fans who followed the team in 1996 when Jim Fassel was Vince Tobin's offensive coordinator, you likely have some fond memories of him and his offense. Fassel, who was closely tied to Bill Parcells and Mike Holmgren, showed superb versatility as a play-caller as evidenced by springing RB LeShon Johnson for a team record 241 yards in a 28-14 win over the Saints and then weeks later unleashing QB Boomer Esiason for 522 yards passing and 3 TDs in a thrilling 37-34 win over the Redskins, after Fass threatened to bench Esiason after he threw two early interceptions in the game!
I can remember watching this game at the Allston Sports Depot (Boston) and going absolutely out of my mind with all of the twists and turns in this game —- check it out!
If you saw the Cardinals' games in 1996 you likely were as enamored and fascinated with Jim Fassel as I was. At the time, I made the argument that in order to keep Fassel on the staff, the Cardinals should promote him to be a co-head coach with Vince Tobin. Man it was tough seeing him get whooshed away —- let alone to an NFC East rival.
Jim Fassel in his one season as the Cardinals' OC, did enough to whet the imaginations of the New York Giants, who hired him as their new head coach in 1997. During his seven years as the HC of the Giants, Jim Fassel will always be remembered for taking the Giants from worst to first in the NFC East as a rookie HC. Fassel was named the 1997 NFL Coach of the Year. Then in 2000 he infamously guaranteed that the Giants would make the playoffs —- and delivered like Dominos, taking the Giants all the way to Super Bowl xxxv where they lost to the Ravens 34-7.
One of the best 21 second sound bites ever: must see TV!
But for native New Yorkers, Jim Fassel may be remembered most fondly for how he helped to lift the city's morale after 9-11 by honoring the brave heroes of the NYPD and NYFD.
When the Giants moved on from Jim Fassel in 2003, a number of Cardinals' fans (including myself) were hoping that he would fill the Cardinals' head coaching vacancy. The Cardinals were very interested in Jim Fassel, but it appeared that the toll of being the head coach of the Giants through a very difficult and emotional stretch of years had weighed so heavily on him that he was wondering whether he should take a year off, at least from head coaching.
The Cardinals wound up hiring Dennis Green and Jim Fassel signed on to be a senior offensive consultant for the Ravens. Fassel's last two years of coaching in the NFL were as the Ravens' offensive coordinator in 2005 and 2006.
Funny how fate is —- had the Cardinals hired Jim Fassel in 2004 instead of Dennis Green, chances are pretty strong that the Cardinals would have drafted QB Philip Rivers and not WR Larry Fitzgerald. And therefore, perhaps the Cardinals, not the Giants, would have swapped Rivers for Eli Manning as the Giants did with Fassel as the new HC. Who know how that would have changed the fortunes of both franchises.
In 2009 and 2010, Jim Fassell led to Las Vegas Locomotives to back-to-back UFL (United Football League) Championships.
Jim Fassel passed away yesterday in Las Vegas at the age of 71. Deepest condolences to to his Jim's wife Kitty and their five children, one of whom is John Fassel, the special teams coordinator of the Cowboys (formerly with the Rams). John issued the following tribute to his beloved dad:
"It is with a very heavy heart to announce that we lost our Dad yesterday. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. While our Dad will be remembered as a longtime fan and face of the football world, his legacy will live forever in our hearts as the greatest Dad and Grandpa of all time. He leaves behind his wife Kitty, their 5 kids and spouses, as well as 16 happy and healthy grandkids. We love you Dad."


Looking for a delicious way to highlight sweet summer corn? Look no further: this Sweet Corn Risotto in Corn Broth is it. It's not only brimming with crunchy-sweet golden kernels but also made with a broth created from the cobs. Why is that important? Sweet corn has a delicate flavor that can easily be muted by stronger flavors. Chicken broth or even regular vegetable broth would take over this risotto, and that would be a tragedy. In this recipe, you want the corn to be front and center to fully infuse the dish and transport you with its lovely, mellow taste.
This Sweet Corn Risotto is a dish to celebrate the harvest and help make the transition from summer into fall easier. Because the success of the recipe depends so heavily on the flavor of the corn, you should only use market-fresh corn or fresh corn (and cobs) you froze at the height of the season.
After making corn broth for the first time, you'll undoubtedly want to make it again. In fact, I expect that you'll swear never to throw corn cobs away again! If you don't use them for this risotto, throw them in the pot next time you make chicken or vegetable soup. You'll add another layer of flavor while making the most of something you probably previously discarded without a second thought. Clever!
This Sweet Corn Risotto in Corn Broth is a dish to celebrate the harvest and help make the transition from summer into fall easier.
For the corn broth: Break or chop the corn cobs in two. In a large pot, add the water, salt, garlic, and corn cobs. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to the minimum, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
Discard the garlic cloves. Using tongs, pick up the cobs and scrape kernel bits still clinging to the cobs back into the pot. Don't strain--you should end up with about 4 cups (1 L) of corn broth. Discard the cobs and keep the broth warm. If you're making the broth in advance, store it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two days.
For the corn risotto: If you refrigerated the corn broth, pour it back into a saucepan. Warm over low heat until just simmering, then keep warm.
Add the butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano and stir vigorously, until melted and incorporated. Stir in the corn kernels and one more ladleful of corn broth. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Remove from the heat, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes.
To serve: Divide the corn risotto between warm shallow bowls. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and some freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
You will have more kernels than you need for the risotto. Throw the remaining kernels into soups, fried rice, stir-fries, or salads, or store them in a large ziplock bag and freeze for later use.
Turn this risotto into a heartier--divine!—meal by top it with grilled shrimp, cooked crab, or lobster meat.

Waste dumping studied Haulers face hearing
Don Meadows
HARRAH The Oklahoma Corporation Commission is preparing to hold a "show cause" hearing for two companies that may have been involved in the dumping of drilling wastes south of Harrah.
Investigators believe about seven truckloads of drilling mud were dumped into a creek area off of Harrah Road, oil and gas division manager Tom M. Lucas said. An undertermined amount of rock cuttings also was dumped.
Data is still being collected by the motor carrier division and the oil and gas division, but a hearing is expected to be scheduled within the next 30 days, Lucas said.
Chloride samples from the site which have been tested do not seem to indicate excessive levels of the chemical, Lucas said.
The two companies which may have been involved have been asked to provide records of the loads they have hauled.
Lucas said he doesn't think the dumping poses a hazard to area residents at this point. The cuttings can be removed from the creek, but little can be done about removing the drilling fluids, he said, especially since it has rained.
"There's not a whole lot that can be done but catch the person who's done it," Lucas said.
Such dumpings may occur in an area for a time until one or two of the violators are caught, and then the situation is pretty well brought under control, he said. BIOG: NAME:

HomeCyber Security BlogsRocke Group is back again with an Updated Malware
Rocke Group is back again with an Updated Malware
Recently, security researchers have detected an updated malware brought to action by the Rocke group. The threat actor Rocke was first reported in late July 2018 and is known for targeting cloud infrastructures with cryptojacking attacks. The ultimate goal of this threat is to mine Monero cryptocurrency in compromised Linux machines.
The updated malware is called Pro-Ocean and it was first discovered in 2019. The latest version of the malware has got "worm" capabilities and rootkit detection-evasion features. It has a four-module structure, consisting of a rootkit module, a mining module, a Watchdog module, and an infection module. The malware has been used to exploit known vulnerabilities to target applications such as Oracle WebLogic , Apache ActiveMQ , and Redis (unsecured instances).
The malware basically uses a Python infection script to utilize its newly added worm capabilities while the rootkit capabilities are used to conceal the malicious activities. Moreover, it also uninstalls monitoring agents to avoid detection, attempts to remove other malware and miners before installation, and after installation kills any process that uses the CPU heavily.
