A man believed to be responsible for breaking into hundreds of cars in the last four months has been arrested following a joint operation by Broward County and Coral Springs law enforcement officials.
David Jasinski, 26, was arrested following a tip received Thursday about a "man who made a living out of breaking into cars," authorities said. The Broward Sheriff's Office Burglary Apprehension Team and Coral Springs Police Department's Burglary Enforcement And Reduction team tracked down the suspect and followed him as he drove to a Savannah at Riverside condominium complex, where authorities said he broke into at least six cars. Authorities pulled Jasinski over after watching him return to his car with a duffle bag and took him into custody.
Police said Jasinski admitted to the Coral Springs neighborhood break-ins, as well as at least 30 burglaries in Fort Lauderdale's Las Olas neighborhood and 100 more in Coral Springs. In all, police said, the suspect copped to burglarizing about 300 cars so far this year.
"David leaves his house everyday at the same time, specifically targeting neighborhoods where he thinks people will leave their cars unlocked, breaking into cars each night," Detective Craig Brown said. "We've heard he's done as many as 20 to 30 car a night a few times a week."
Rey Rodriguez is believed to be a three-time victim of the man police are calling a "serial burglar."
"It seems like he needs to get a better job.It's a hassle to go to neighborhood, disturb people, and take their property," he said.
Police say Jasinski has a decade-long criminal history, with his latest arrest logged earlier this month It was not immediately clear whether Jansinski had an attorney. He did not comment as police led him in handcuffs Friday.

The taxes American workers pay on their wages are on par with those paid by workers in other developed countries, according to a new report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
U.S. workers paid 26 percent in income taxes and social security contributions (subtracting any family benefits received), about equal to the 25.5 percent average for 35 OECD countries.
The study was based on data from 2017, before the new GOP tax cuts were enacted.

[Update: Hawkeye gets a bigger role in The Avengers 2.]
The first time Hawkeye was name-dropped as a potential character to be introduced in Marvel Studios' interconnected cinematic universe was back after the success of Iron Man, when rumors pointed towards Hawkeye and Black Widow showing up together in Iron Man 2. Half of that came true and it wasn't until Jeremy Renner shared some interesting information about a meeting he had with Marvel that we had what came to be concrete info on the character.
Renner, who's a friend of The Avengers (pre-Joss whedon) screenwriter Zak Penn, had gone in initially to discuss Captain America and instead got caught up in a conversation about the character of Hawkeye. They talked costumes, stories from the books, details about the character and ideas for how he could show up in Thor and later in The Avengers. Two years later, that came true when on the eve of Comic-Con 2010 he had officially signed with Marvel Studios to play Clint Barton.
Hawkeye did have his brief introduction as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and skilled archer in Thor and he was one of the six core heroes feature in The Avengers. Unfortunately for the character however, and actor Jeremy Renner, in a movie like The Avengers there's very little time to explore the backstory of new characters like he who didn't have his own prelude via a solo character film. Instead, Renner's scenes were relegated to mostly doing action set pieces and for a large part of the film, he wasn't even who he was supposed to be thanks to Loki's trickery.
In chatting with Hero Complex for The Bourne Legacy, Renner reflects on not being able to play the Clint Barton he learned so much from Zak Penn and a big part of that is possibly due to Joss Whedon's rewrite of the story and script.
"At the end of the day, 90% of the movie, I'm not the character I signed on to play. I'm literally in there for two minutes, and then all of a sudden… All I could really work on was the physical part of it all, because that didn't change. That was just the biggest challenge to overcome in playing the guy. Also, we're pretty much introducing a new superhero character to everyone in a movie where there's a thousand superheroes. So there's not a lot of back story or understanding we can really tell about who Clint Barton is, or Hawkeye, and is he working for SHIELD or not. There's a lot of unanswered questions, even for me. And I was OK with that. At least I was still in the movie. And I was glad for that. The closest thing I could really link to was Scarlett [Johansson's] character, Black Widow, because they have a history. And that definitely plays in the movie, I think. And obviously, you can't go into too much just because there's so much story to tell, but you definitely get a sense that they're connected, and that there's something really, really important that ties them together. And I could try to summarize it, but it can go a lot of places. That excites me, though, that there's room for other things."
Renner wasn't a fan of playing bad guy Hawkeye:
"I prefer the good, because if we go to the evil part, or hypnotized or whatever the heck you want to call it, it's kind of a vacancy. Not even a bad guy, because there's not really a consciousness to him. The interesting part was being guilty about the bad things I did do when I was hypnotized. I think he's already an interesting enough character. To really kind of take away who that character is and just have him be this sort of robot, essentially, and have him be this minion for evil that Loki uses. Again, I could just focus on the task. I was limited, you know what I mean? I was a terminator in a way. So yeah, fun stunts. But is there any sort of emotional content or thought process? No. That doesn't exist in that time [that he's hypnotized]. It happens to be for most of the movie."
Clearly, the twice-Oscar-nominated actor would rather have been utilized differently, but he has no regrets and was happy to be a part of such an important film and franchise.
"You know, there are a lot of people in that movie. And a lot of important characters. And my character, I felt like if I can help serve story, then I did my job."
Renner also addressed the often-repeated question of whether or not he'll get his own Hawkeye film as suggested by Marvel president of production Kevin Feige. While he says he doesn't know and that it depends on Marvel ("we'll see"), we all know the Hawkeye solo film is not going to happen simply due to the amount of other characters and stories that are taking up the studio's resources (and release dates). Renner does happily speak about how cool his bow was in the film and he shares his knowledge of the character from the books being a lone wolf and not always a team player. Hopefully for fans (and Renner), we get to see that explored in The Avengers 2 and, if rumors are true, in Captain America: The Winter Soldier before that - a film which is seemingly shaping up to be the SHIELD movie.

There's been a lot of creative and interactive ways brands are utilizing the Like button on Facebook, so it didn't take long for California-based clothing company Stüssy to realize it could garner new male fans by having a model strip according to the number of Likes the brand receives.
The Dutch fan page for Stüssy features an attractive woman piled up in what we assume are the company's entire line its latest collection. When a person clicks Like, the page takes you to a flash video of the model in various pictures wearing less clothes, and gets her down to a tank top and a pair of shorts. To continue getting the model more naked, you can share or invite friends to Like the page too to further undress her. However, Facebook's photo guideline and policies do prohibit nudity so it's safe to assume the model will probably strip down to her bikini at the very end.
"As you can imagine, the model must be suffocating under that many layers of clothing," said Colin Lamberton, creative director for Arnold Amsterdam, the agency that created the ad campaign. "It is almost a public duty to free her out of this misery, so we are expecting Facebook fans to help out here. Like and undress."
To call this explanation a euphemism is putting it lightly. The campaign is obviously a sleazy way to gain the attention of curious minds, not for those who actually care for the products. The social network's policy also notes that "You must not use Facebook features or functionality, such as the Like button, as a voting mechanism for a promotion," so technically this does violate some policies.
What's weirder is that's all the fan page contains. What exactly is she wearing? Where can I buy it? How much does it cost? None of that information exists. The Timeline page of the brand does not address these issues, only promote people to support the campaign.
If the brand wants to be successful for what it actually sells, we think it needs to get its head back in the marketing game and earn its fans the fair and square way. The moving pictures of the model stripping goes by way too quickly to even tell what the product she's wearing looks like. The campaign is also prime for alienating and being offensive to its female fan base, so we're not sure how beneficial this is supposed to be for Stüssy.
So the moral is this: Original? Yes. Trashy? Even more so. Unless of course, that's the kind of word association the brand wants. After all, having everyone on Facebook talk about how you're the brand with a stripper just doesn't get any classier.

We all know how frustrating arguing with a theist can be. They are just really bad at reasoning through an argument, or sometimes, they are actually so good at it that it defies our ability to understand why they can't (in general, don't want to) see the force of our arguments. But the agnostic can be especially frustrating in their own way. They generally do not argue for any particular position, they simply stand back and pick apart everyone else's arguments. In this way they set themselves up as the "rational" party, the one's who "just demand a higher degree of evidence" or certitude before they grant us the pleasure of their consent. With the theist, at least, we know where they stand, and we can condemn them for their willing ignorance or their obviously bad arguments, but be satisfied afterwards that we have a clear advantage over them in clarity and coherence of our own viewpoint (that of the truth!). But the agnostic is particularly infuriating because they take skepticism and run with it. They argue that truth is something which is hard to come by (true enough), and in the case of deities there simply isn't enough evidence to back up the claim that they do or do not exist. Wrong! Belief in deities is just as silly and absurd as belief in any other hypothetical nonsense, like trolls or fairies or hobgoblins, unicorns, leprechauns, ghosts, superheroes/supervillians, dwarves, elves, Nasgul, orcs, Cauldron-born, talking animals, ogres, witches, wizards, warlocks, dementors, etc., ad nauseum. The entire realm of magical and supernatural beings and their "powers" falls into the same class, and no specific deity is granted some special privilege or right to a degree of doubt about their non-existence as any other. If you rule one in, you rule them ALL in. And let's not forget that Yahweh has a host of angels in his "kingly court" as well, not least of which was Satan. There seems to be no single reason why we should entertain the idea of creator-deities and their prophets, nor distinguish "ours" (Yahweh/Jehova) from any of the other ones which have existed in the minds of men throughout history. Why not Uranus and Gaia, or Tiamat and Marduk, or Enlil the "father of the gods" in the epic of Gilgamesh, or Amon-Ra? So here's the thing, agnostics: shit or get off the pot. If you don't know what to believe, then have the courage to settle the matter for yourselves, because agnosticism is not a mature position to take. It is a resting point on the road to having some actual convictions about the way the world really is, and what it means to be rational or not. Do you think it is rational to believe that there could really be a Zamp in the lamp, or a Woset in the closet? What is the substantial difference between the whole host of supernatural beings and the Wocket in my pocket?
It is really easy to sit back and remain uncommitted to any particular belief, but at some point we all have to decide whether to believe in evolution, or global warming, or what our own sexual orientation is, or a million other things that are relevant to how we decide to live our lives. If you approach a topic of which you are ignorant, then just say you really aren't sure, you don't know all the arguments, you don't have all the information. You're still trying to figure it all out, still trying to make sense of things. But don't sit there and say that suspending judgment is really the only rational conclusion we can reach about what kinds of things are real and what kinds of things are fantastical and imaginary. It's not sophisticated to claim that there is any merit to looking at the world from a supernatural perspective, it's just annoying, and in my opinion, cowardly.
At least the theists stand for something. Agnostics only stand up for the idea that we can't know anything. Skepticism is great, but only up to a point. After that, it means you have no convictions.

Moral courage and intellectual honesty are the two central issues here for sure, and I'm not sure how much the two can be pulled apart from each other. If you believe something, you must have the courage of your convictions to act on it. If you don't think the ground you are standing on is stable, you should move to new ground. If you don't think any ground is stable, then you have to ask yourself if you think some ground is more stable than other ground. If you are quite certain that a particular piece of ground is not stable, and would never step there yourself, or ever suggest to someone that stepping there themselves might be a good idea - if every fiber in your being says no one should step there ever, then the moral thing to do is to stand up for what you are sure is right. Otherwise, go stand on the fence, and don't come down on either side until you have the courage of your convictions. There is a question of semantics in there, I won't completely discount that, but it does bother me that a lot of people seem to want to have it both ways.
On the semantics side, at what point does reasonable, justified belief become knowledge? If it never becomes knowledge, than what is the point of having any convictions? Let me put it another way: doubt swings both ways. If you are unwilling to have the convictions that there are no deities, do you have the conviction that science is true? Do you know that you have two hands? If any and every belief can be doubted, what justifies you in any belief? These agnostics don't seem to get this point - you can doubt whether you have two hands just as much as you can doubt whether there are deities on an absolute scale. What is it exactly that makes something "known" and something else "unknown"?
You are right, of course, but would you have that conversation with an agnostic?
At some point, I figured "case closed" on God. People are inventing imaginary friends and worshipping them, it's very sad, but they always will. I'm through arguing God's existence. Let's move on to the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
I'm with Alan! move on...
Once again, there's a difference between simply not knowing whether God exists, and then knowing (or believing) that this knowledge is unknowable -- as in, I don't know it, you don't know it, and none of us will ever know it. Agnosticism is the latter. And I think I would find agnostic theists refreshing. I mean it has to take some courage to admit that even if this person believes in God, he could never truly know whether God actually exists. I think that would be incredibly honest. It goes against the grain, especially for many Western (Abrahamic) religions that sort of dictate that if you believe in God, you must also know that he exists, because it was written in (enter line from Holy Text here)...
An agnostic theist must believe in God despite also believing that it is impossible for anyone to prove its existence. Takes "faith" to a whole new level...
It is a mistake to describe agnosticism as mere fence-sitting. Instead it is a recognition of the limits of human knowledge. An agnostic may well believe one way or the other, but he makes no claim to know.
This is precisely the sense Huxley intended when he coined the word. He never claimed to know things for which he did not have evidence and he seems to have thought that knowledge in this area was impossible. Here are his exact words:
When I reached intellectual maturity and began to ask myself whether I was an atheist, a theist, or a pantheist; a materialist or an idealist; a Christian or a freethinker - I found that the more I learned and reflected, the less ready was the answer; until, at last, I came to the conclusion that I had neither art nor part with any of these denominations, except the last. The one thing in which most of these good people were agreed was the one thing in which I differed from them. They were quite sure they had attained a certain "gnosis" - had, more or less successfully, solved the problem of existence; while I was quite sure I had not, and had a pretty strong conviction that the problem was insoluble. And, with Hume and Kant on my side, I could not think myself presumptuous in holding fast by that opinion.
Agnostic atheist here.
I'm ONLY 'agnostic' about the possibility of some 'creator' completely and totally removed from any and all of our religious texts. I'm as atheist about Yahweh, Jesus, Allah, Vishnu, etc as I am about Zeus or Quetzalcoatl. I do not see this as "fence-sitting" because belief would still require evidence on my part. Things like seemingly unlimited time and space are far beyond our understanding. These are "complex" things. We are VERY far off from knowing the ultimate origins of everything. Even IF such a deity did exist, I would lean more towards deism or an apathetic (or possibly even malevolent) being whose unconcerned with us. One, that once discovered, would just be something else to be explained by science. Not above it. Once again, without proof, this remains a harmless possibility in the back of my mind that has absolutely no impact on the way I live. For all intents and purposes, I am atheist.
Being 'agnostic' about the loosely defined deity is not the same as being agnostic about Thor any more than thinking ETs exist somewhere is the same thing as believing in the Klingon Empire.
Admittedly, my mind is open to change on this, but this is where I currently stand.
The confusion over agnosticism is caused by a poor definition.
How does one know what is not knowable? Is that not itself contradictory? If a god did exist, and chose to demonstrate this fact to you, would you still be claiming it was impossible to know? That would be claiming to know you were too stupid to understand something but that you were smart enough to understand what you were too stupid to know. (I'm trying to figure that out too)
As I respect Huxley for all he accomplished, I think he was trying to be political when he should have tried harder to achieve intellectual integrity.
With tweaking, agnosticism could be a viable position but it would still be a subset of atheism.
Despite the train wreck of a definition, I still consider myself an agnostic atheist. I just have to be careful as to the company I keep when I use the term. These days, I generally call myself an atheist, with the intention of conveying the fact that I do not believe in deities. I am not saying deities do not exist.
As I respect Huxley for all he accomplished, I think he was trying to be political when he should have tried harder to achieve intellectual integrity.
I'm curious as to how you have arrived at that conclusion. In what sense do you think Huxley was being political? In the context of his time, it appears to me quite the opposite—he was in fact striving for intellectual integrity in precisely the same way as Clifford: insisting on evidence for his assertions.
The opinion is mine alone, a result of the admittedly little reading I have done of his life. I accept the fact that I'll probably be skewered with what I'm about to say by those with a more thorough knowledge of his life. Whatever...let's get on with the job.
To begin with, as I pointed out in the earlier post, the assertion regarding the limits of knowledge makes no sense. Any man as intelligent as Huxley should recognize this. Before I continue, I should make one thing clear. Definitions change over time. As I understand it, atheism during Huxleys' time meant a profound belief that deities did not exist. His resistance to this extreme was exhibited in the creation of the agnostic term. Unfortunately, this overlooks the fact that atheism "could" (and in my opinion, should) be considered a lack of belief in a diety. He sought the rational middle ground but failed to identify it correctly. He should have emphasized "what we know" and abandoned any attempts to identify "what we can't know". This would have forced the understood definition of atheism to change, or perhaps created definitions of both strong/positive and weak/negative atheism. I understand he might have failed in his attempt but that's the battle before you, not the one you necessarily want to fight.
Secondly, within the context of his career, Huxley is known for the influence he had upon the British school system. In attempting to improve the schools, he was forced to make steps to wrest if free of the religious influence pervasive at the time. Unfortunately, coming out and directly saying he was an atheist (not saying he thought of himself as one) would have made the job impossible, with enemies coming out of the woodworks. The definition he gave of agnosticism made it possible to continue on with the work or improving the secular quality of the school system at the same time as weakening the religious opposition to it. When clearly beaten, theists will pounce upon the admission by their enemies that they don't know everything. Good enough, we're still in charge, let's wipe our bloody noses and move forward.
In short, his definition was a political attempt to appease the opposition yet continue on with what he knew to be of vital importance. In the context of his time, I believe it to be understandable. He probably knew the job would take may years beyond what he had to give. It had to be begun sometime however.
Unfortunately, his definition of agnosticism is the one that stuck. We are bound to it only in the sense that it is his definition. As brilliant as he was, we are not forced to continue to understand agnosticism the same way. I think he brought us forward, just not as far forward as was necessary. Cross purposes seemed to have gotten in the way.
I may be wrong in my thinking and look forward to other interpretations. While I look forward to the opinions of others I tend to be contemplative, not argumentative.
Unfortunately, his definition of agnosticism is the one that stuck.
Huxley coined the word and surely had every right to define it. Huxley coined the word agnostic in 1869 when the Metaphysical Society was being organized and each member was asked to give an initial statement of his personal viewpoint. It was most definitely not—as you have characterized it—"a political attempt to appease the opposition."
Huxley's concern was with what could be known, not what was believed. He did not think it was possible on the basis of available evidence to date to know that gods existed or that no god existed. The term agnostic entered circulation almost immediately and appeared in print only a few weeks later. It gained rapid circulation because it described a new position more nuanced and more scientific. There was no lack of discussion of the word and its meaning, but curiously little response from the church for quite some time although Huxley himself was often mentioned at church congresses.
Only much later was there a formal attack against Huxley's position. That was raised at the church conference at Manchester in 1888 by the Very Reverend Henry Wace, who equated agnosticism with atheism. Wace stated that
It is, and it ought to be, an unpleasant thing for a man to have to say plainly that he does not believe Jesus Christ. It is, indeed, an awful thing to say.
Wace's problem, which surfaced in this first attack, was that he could not understand that anyone did not accept authenticity of the scriptures. As a result he put the locus of Huxley's claims in the wrong place and never made a good argument against him. He did not, could not, or would not understand how Huxley could question the authenticity of scripture itself. As he put it:
Why do we believe that Jesus Christ redeemed all mankind? Because he said so. There is no other ultimate ground for it. The matter is not one open to the observation of our faculties; and as a matter of science we are not in a position to know it.
Huxley replied in a long article in which he made his position quite clear—that he doubted the evidence of scripture. Huxley was quite good at argument and not the least hesitant to challenge a churchman. The whole makes interesting reading and reveals Huxley's scientific mind: he was simply not willing to draw conclusions without evidence and considered that position the essence of agnosticism.
The back and forth continued in several articles and a few others joined in the fray. The entire exchange after Wace's initial talk was published in the US in Popular Science Monthly and later the articles were collected in a book. The whole is available online. One passage in Huxley's first reply is relevant to your claim that Huxley was attempting to appease the opposition:
…that "it ought to be" unpleasant for any man to say anything which he sincerely, and after due deliberation, believes, is, to my mind, a proposition of the most profoundly immoral character. I verily believe that the great good which has been effected in the world by Christianity has been largely counteracted by the pestilent doctrine on which all the churches have insisted, that honest disbelief in their more or less astonishing creeds is a moral offense, indeed a sin of the deepest dye, deserving and involving the same future retribution as murder and robbery. If we could only see, in one view, the torrents of hypocrisy and cruelty, the lies, the slaughter, the violations of every obligation of humanity, which have flowed from this source along the course of the history of Christian nations, our worst imaginations of hell would pale beside the vision.
As old and tired as he may have been at this point, 'Darwin's bulldog' was still full of fight and not ready to appease anyone.
There are certain things we know to be incomprehensible; either they do not exist, or possibly exists outside of the confines of which we derive knowledge. For example, we cannot know what would have happened if something didn't happen, what something looks like that doesn't exist, the ramifications of an infinite quality, or the existence of God. To illustrate, let's run through several definitions of what God could be, and why they are incomprehensible.
God is all-powerful. All-powerful implies infinite power; however, anything that a manifestation of God shows us must be finite, so we could always ask, "What's more?" And an all-powerful God would have to show us more, ad infinitum, and still never prove that it is all-powerful.
God is all-good. Firstly, if what is "good" is defined by God, then this begs the question. If "good" was a discrete quality found in nature, then it isn't so impressive; even more so, it would be contradictory to his supposed omnipotence if he could be confined within natural properties. We haven't found "good" to be a natural property, and therefore goodness is either incomprehensible in itself, or relative and not absolute, and therefore all-goodness would be incomprehensible.
God created the universe. If God created the universe by laws of physics, then it is a task that could be reproduced without God if all the conditions were known and met. Therefore, that a being created the universe would not be such a unique quality. If God created the universe whimsically, which most interpretations of God entail, then it cannot be understood that he did. More on this later.
God is free from the laws of nature. Since all human knowledge is either empirically inducted (e.g. science) or logically deducted from analytical facts we consider that we know to be true, it is impossible to comprehend the concept of an all-powerful God that defies axioms of which we base all our knowledge. And if such a being were to appear before our eyes in whatever form it pleases and conjure any imaginable object, in such a way that it significantly contradicts what we've come to know, if it alters all physical properties, changes our senses, and creates new perceptions of consciousness, then we must really question whether we know anything at all before we consider the existence of that being. It would be strange to use logic that have been defeated, or depend on perceptions which have been whimsically altered without our perceived control, to claim to "know" that God is the only objective truth. Why should one have faith in his logic and perceptions at all to make such a judgment?
We should worship God. Whenever an imperative is given, a goal should also be given. Even if an all-powerful being exists, why should we worship it? Even if it is all-good, why should we strive to be good? As people with reasoning capacity, most of us are not simple hedonists, and so the heaven and hell justification doesn't suffice. Nor can anyone convince me that longevity of life is a categorical imperative, because if you don't worship God, he will kill you or torture you. In fact, I categorically reject all categorical imperatives (sorry Kant).

Portland's new "by-request" policy reduces plastic waste
Gone are the days when your lunch order came with a side of plastic: straws, cutlery and condiment packets.Read More…
Phone: 503-823-7037
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Portland businesses often ask us about setting up collection areas for recyclable materials that cannot be included in their mixed recycling containers. Given the electronics used at most workplaces (cell phones, tools, recording equipment, etc.), batteries are one of the items that sustainability advisors see collected most often. If you don't currently have a battery collection bucket or box around your office or shop, consider starting one.
For years, people recycled their alkaline batteries because they were aware that they contained mercury, which could leach into the environment in a number of ways once the battery was thrown away. The good news is that, as of 1996, mercury is no longer used in alkalines. While recycling is still the environmentally preferable choice, it is okay to throw the occasional alkaline battery in the garbage. If you can collect and recycle alkalines, though, you should. While they may no longer be considered hazardous waste, they still contain elements that can harm the environment, especially given the number of single-use batteries being disposed of each year. In 2011, Metro took in alkalines at a rate of 9 to 1 compared to rechargeables.
Although alkalines can be recycled, it's important to remember that a great deal of work goes into separating out the copper, steel, and chemicals. Transportation impacts are high, too. If you regularly collect a small bucket or box of batteries, you know how much even a small amount can weigh. Imagine what it takes to move a truckload of them.
An even better approach is to use rechargeables whenever possible. Depending on the type you use, rechargeable batteries can replace as many as 1000 alkalines over time. In addition to saving money, you'll reduce the environmental impacts of mining, packaging, and transporting all those single-use batteries.
It's essential that you recycle rechargeables. All batteries contain heavy metals, but with rechargeable batteries, nickel, cadmium and lead are common. Rechargeable batteries are considered hazardous waste and should be treated as such. Don't forget button batteries, too. Many (whether single-use or rechargeable) contain mercury and cadmium. Do not throw them away.
Batteries (alkaline and rechargeables) can be dropped off at any number of locations in Portland. Visit Metro's Find a Recycler page to generate a list of drop-off sites sorted by proximity to your workplace. Some places will take batteries at no charge; others charge a small fee. You can also call Metro with specific questions about batteries or disposing of other hazardous wastes at 503-234-3000. For assistance with additional sustainability actions, green team support or staff training, get in touch with one of our sustainability advisors.

FINAL: Gold 3, Black 1 (Game 2 of the Black and Gold World Series) (Richmond, Va.)
BLACK STARTERS: #9 Acker (CF), #3 Prentiss (3B), #25 Machin (SS), #7 Ayers (LF), #24 Buran (RF),
#11 Haymaker (C), #18 Lee (1B), #12 Malan (2B) and Morrison (P)
GOLD STARTERS: #2 Cullen (CF), #10 Crimi (SS), #4 Cujas (3B), #26 Marino (2B), #19 Thomas (1B),
#34 Yount (RF), #11 Octavi (C), #1 Bunn (CF), and Storey (P)
THE BASICS: The Gold team used a three-run bottom of the third inning sparked by a Trevor Marino base hit to knot the Black and Gold World Series at a game apiece. The three-run outburst backed strong pitching performances from Jordan Storey, Seth Greene, and Ryan Farrar.
- Storey threw two scoreless innings and worked out of a second inning jam to keep the game scoreless through the first two innings.
- With an out in the third innning, junior Bill Cullen sparked the rally with a single. Tom Crimi followed with a walk and Gold had runners on first and second. Marino sent a single to center, but after an error he advanced to third and both runners scored. Freshman Michael Thomas followed with a single and plated Marino, and put Gold up 3-0 at the end of the third inning.
- The Black team did not go away and brought the tying run to the plate in the top of the sixth inning. A two-out single by sophomore Vimael Machin started the rally. Junior Chris Ayers followed with a double which brought home Machin, and made the score 3-1. However, with the tying run at the plate, Gold's pitcher, Farrar, was able to get the final out and preserve the win for Gold.
- The Black and Gold World Series is tied at a game apiece, the winner of the third game will take home the annual crown.
- All games in the 2012 Black and Gold World Series are six innings.
- Marino finished the night 2-3 with an RBI.
- Greene pitched two scoreless innings, and recorded a strikeout. He earned the win for the Gold team.
- Farrar who allowed only a run in his two innings, was credited with the save.
"I thought we did a good job tonight. We wanted to see what we could get out of [Jordan] Storey and he gave us two big zeros, and Seth Greene pitched well behind him. A big hit from Trevor Marino in the middle of the game to lifted us to the victory."
-Gold Team Coach Seth Cutler-Voltz
The third and decisive game of the Black and Gold World Series will be at 7:15 on Friday, Oct. 26. The gates will open at 6:30 and the game is free and open to the public.

I added HeliBar riser and Sargeant World seat to wife's F800 ST and it is a delight to put in 400 mile days on. Smooth and light with plenty of power for traveling with lots of gear.
I added HeliBar riser and Sargeant World seat to wife's F800 ST and it is a delight to put in 400 mile days on. Smooth and light with plenty of power for traveling with lots of gear.
Stebun: I've heard the Sergent seat is very good. Would you say it's a great improvment over the stock? The stock seat wasn't too bad, but after a 750 mile day, I could feel the pressure points.
So it seems AZ-J had an F-S not and F-ST a difference (different bikes built off same design) . It seems that his bike had enough of a problem BMW bought it back (not a small thing) but that there were strings attached about what he would be saying. ( A far condition perhaps) and one he is honestly trying to uphold ( integrity). That he thought enough of the dealer and marque to buy another model and seems very happy. Why is that so hard to gather?
03 K 1200RS (Black is Best)
03 Honda RC51
74 Honda CB750 K4
I'm looking at an F800ST and wondering,,, How many actual miles can you get out of a tank of gas, using super and riding 75 mph or so (along interstate)? Currently riding my K75RT and get 200 - 205 miles before going on reserve. Getting older and thinking about a lighter bike.
You will get about 2oo to 230 miles per tank full. The st have a 4.2 gallon tank.
Also do your research on windshied, bar riser and seats. Mirror extenders are a must for the 800 st. A lot of information on web site F800 rider.com
campbellforest, I get just over 200 miles per tank. I use medium grade. I have run out of fuel twice and hope to avoid a third, so I don't push it. I tend to get 56 mpg and tend to cruise in the 70-80 mph range. 52 mpg on the racetrack as a novice with no luggage bags. It's a sweet ride. Very difficult to keep it at the legal speed limit.
I'm 60 and not a big guy. The bike is awesome and has plenty of power for me.
My wife and I rode two up Orlando to San Francisco on our 2008 F800ST, twice.
I rode the same route solo in four and a half days; no problem.
We are both in our late 70's.
Old thread. The original post was January, 2008. I bought the OP's bike in January, 09 with about 3400 miles on it. I rode it in 49 states, most of them a couple of times. I hit all 50 in 2010, but had to rent a BMW in Hawaii. Sold it in May, I think, with about 46K on it. The only failures were a bad fuel pump and the coolant pump started to leak, replaced before sale.
They're just fine for long distance. Very comfortable. Best stock seat I've ever sat on for any length of time, luggage works good enough. ect.
Other than a weak stator that has a tendency to burn up after 30 or 40k and some rear wheel bearing issues on that single sided swing arm in the early models. I've only had the stator problem my rear wheel bearings are still going strong. Really like the belt drive also.

The fate of New York City's so-called "soda ban" is now in the hands of an appeals court.
In reality, the ban is a series of regulations that would restrict the sale of sugary sodas bigger than 16 ounces in movie theaters and restaurants. The proposal by Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration has faced fierce blow back from the food and beverage industry and exhibitors.
In March, State Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling ruled that the rules were invalid a day before they were scheduled to go into effect. On Monday, four appeals court judges listened to arguments from attorneys for the health department, as well as from attorneys for the American Beverage Association, the National Association of Theatre Owners of New York and other groups opposed to the measure.
Also read: NYC Appeals Soda Ban Ruling
The judges did not give any indication about a timetable for a decision, but according to a report in the Associated Press, the city faced tough questions about the logic behind the new rules.
The mayor's administration argued that the restrictions would help reduce obesity and other health issues, but judges questioned if the rules were arbitrary and an example of overreach.
Justice David Friedman wondered if the regulations would open the door for the city to dictate "the number of doughnuts a person could eat, [and] the number of scoops of ice cream."
The Bloomberg administration is arguing that the time to act is now. On Monday, the health department released a report that found that while the overall death rate in the city has declined in recent years, diabetes-related deaths are increasing. Since 1990, the proportion of all New York City deaths related to diabetes nearly doubled, from 6 percent to 10.8 percent in 2011.
A spokesman for the health department did not respond to a request for comment, but a spokesman for the National Association of Theatre Owners of New York expressed confidence that the court would uphold the lower court decision.
"This issue is not about obesity, nor about soda," the spokesman said in a statement to TheWrap. "This is about the proper role of an executive agency, and Justice Tingling warned that permitting the soda ban would eviscerate the separation of powers. We look forward to the appellate division's decision."

As the Supreme Court considers whether it is legal for the Trump administration to cancel the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program, the president and his allies have begun spinning a familiar — and false — narrative about the program's nearly 700,000 beneficiaries. Many of the people in DACA, no longer very young, are far from 'angels,'" Trump tweeted Tuesday morning, hours before the Supreme Court was scheduled to hear opening arguments in the DACA case. Some are very tough, hardened criminals.
American Airlines flight attendants are "begging" not to have to work on the Boeing 737 Max when it returns to service after its grounding, Lori Bassani, the head of the union representing them, said Thursday. "I hear from flight attendants every day, and they're begging me not to make them go back up in that plane," Bassani said, according to The Dallas Morning News. The 737 Max has been grounded around the world since March, which saw the second of two deadly crashes involving the aircraft.
A purported street-gang leader from suburban Chicago who became radicalized in prison faces federal charges accusing him of seeking to provide money to Islamic State militants in Syria, according to a complaint unsealed Friday in U.S. District Court in Chicago. Jason Brown, the 37-year-old leader of the AHK gang, could be heard on secret FBI recordings speaking admiringly about beheadings by the Islamic State group, the 27-page complaint says. AHK, which prosecutors say traffics drugs throughout the Chicago area, is comprised of former members of the Black P-Stone, Gangster Disciples and Four Corner Hustlers who converted to Islam, the court filings say.
The Democratic National Committee on Thursday announced the 10 candidates who will participate in the fifth Democratic primary debate in Atlanta on Wednesday. They are: Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Tulsi Gabbard, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, Tom Steyer, Elizabeth Warren and Andrew Yang. Julian Castro, who participated in previous debates, most recently in October at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio, didn't make the cut.

The school shooting that killed two and injured at least three people at Saugus High School Thursday comes amid a national debate around how to prepare for and respond to active shooter situations, with some schools and policymakers advocating a range of tactics — from "bulletproof backpacks" to curved hallways. The debate gained traction following the Feb. 14, 2018, killing of 17 children and school staffers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, after it came to light that the school safety officer on duty failed to confront the gunman. He now faces criminal charges.
The French army general charged with overseeing the rebuilding of Paris' fire-mangled Notre-Dame, has caused astonishment by publicly telling the cathedral's chief architect to "shut his mouth" in a sign of tension over the monument's future look. General Jean-Louis Georgelin and chief architect Philippe Villeneuve are at odds over whether to replace the cathedral's spire -- which was toppled in the April 15 blaze -- with an exact replica, or mix things up with a modern twist. President Emmanuel Macron, who appointed Georgelin to head the massive reconstruction project, has said he is in favour of adding a "contemporary" touch.
Representative Alcee Hastings (D., Fla.) is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee over his relationship with a top staffer, according to a Thursday press release from the Committee. "The Committee is aware of public allegations arising out of Representative Alcee Hastings' personal relationship with an individual employed in his congressional office," read the statement. While the announcement does not name the staffer, it is almost certainly Patricia Williams, Hastings's district-office director and long-time partner, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Key point: China has aided its military modernization by stealing and reverse-engineering top-of-the-line military hardware. Maryland-based Cyber Engineering Services detected the cyber burglary, according to cybersecurity writer Brian Krebs. "Between Oct. 10, 2011 and Aug. 13, 2012, attackers thought to be operating out of China hacked into the corporate networks of three top Israeli defense technology companies, including Elisra Group, Israel Aerospace Industries, and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems," Krebs writes.
Appearing live on CNN Thursday, Kellyanne Conway, special counselor to President Trump, was asked to respond to the assessment given by her husband, George, that testimony of career diplomats in the first public impeachment hearings was damning for her boss. George Conway, a conservative lawyer and outspoken Trump critic, appeared on MSNBC as a guest analyst during Thursday's hearings. While introducing a clip of George Conway, CNN's Wolf Blitzer told Kellyanne Conway he wanted to ask her a "sensitive" political question.
Omar Abdulaziz, a Saudi activist in exile in Canada, said that Twitter is an important tool for many Saudi dissidents but comes with risks. Abdulaziz was friends with murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The two of them were working to create an "army" of internet users to combat Saudi propaganda before Khashoggi was killed.
Now that Republican Gov. Matt Bevin has conceded, Beshear is moving quickly to translate the political activism of teachers that began in 2018 and persisted through this year's election into tangible school improvements. Teachers staged large demonstrations at Kentucky's Capitol in Frankfort the past two years as part of a national wave of teacher activism. Many of the teachers who chanted "We will remember in November" during their statehouse protests in Kentucky later remobilized as part of a vast grassroots effort on Beshear's behalf.
A man has been executed in the US state of Georgia despite a request from his lawyers for DNA evidence which they claimed would clear him of murder. Ray Jefferson Cromartie was convicted of the April 1994 shooting of shop worker Richard Slysz twice in the head at the convenience store in the city of Thomasville. Prosecutors said the 52-year-old had shot delicatessen worker Dan Wilson in the face, three days before the killing, seriously injuring him.
The meteoric political journey of Evo Morales came to an end – for now, at least – right where it started: in a steamy jungle region of central Bolivia. And it was here that he fled to last weekend, after resigning the presidency – at the prompting of Bolivia's top general – as deadly protests convulsed the country amid allegations of electoral fraud. Pictured lying atop a blanket on a safehouse floor, Morales fondly recalled his time as a local leader on Twitter.
WASHINGTON — As guests filed into Union Station to hear a keynote speech by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh Thursday evening, the scene outside included protesters dressed in "Handmaid's Tale" costumes and chanting their support for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. The protesters from the group Demand Justice sent the message to attendees that they "still believe" Blasey Ford, according to video and photos taken by journalists present. Blasey Ford accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault last year.
An American teacher's death in the Dominican Republic was being investigated Thursday as a murder. Police said they found Patricia Anton deceased in her apartment in Puerto Plata, on the country's northern coast, with her hands and feet bound.
Vietnam sentenced a music teacher to 11 years in prison on Friday for Facebook posts that allegedly undermined the one-party state, which has been accused of tightening the noose on online dissent. Communist Vietnam has long jailed its critics but has come under fire recently for targeting users on Facebook, a popular forum for activists in the country where all independent media is banned. Nguyen Nang Tinh is the latest activist jailed for his Facebook comments, including posts about police brutality, land rights, and a Taiwanese steel firm that dumped toxic sludge into the ocean, killing masses of fish off the coast of Vietnam.
Key point: The Pentagon is at a crossroads. The U.S. Army is at a crossroads as the Pentagon is reorienting itself to fight a capable great power opponent after nearly two decades focused on counter-insurgency conflicts. Russia poses a traditional land-power challenge for the U.S. Army with its large mechanized formations threatening the Baltics, as well as formidable long-range ballistic missiles, artillery and surface-to-air missiles.
President Donald Trump's longtime adviser Roger Stone was convicted on all charges on Friday by a federal court jury that found the veteran Republican operative and self-proclaimed "dirty trickster" guilty on seven counts of lying to the U.S. Congress, obstruction and witness tampering. During the trial, prosecutors pressed their case that Stone lied to lawmakers about his outreach to WikiLeaks - the website that disclosed many hacked Democratic emails ahead of the 2016 U.S. election that proved embarrassing to Trump's Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton - to protect Trump from looking bad. The verdict, in a trial arising from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation that detailed extensive Russian interference in that election, is not only a blow to Stone but renews scrutiny on Trump's actions as a candidate even as he endures an impeachment inquiry that threatens his presidency.
Angered by the testimony of ousted ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, California Rep. Jackie Speier upbraided a reporter for The Hill and ripped the outlet's publication of columns by John Solomon, the conservative journalist whose work is at the center of what Yovanovitch described as a "smear campaign" against her. "I just find it reprehensible that any newspaper would just be willing to put that kind of crap out that is not — has no veracity whatsoever, and not check to see if it had any veracity," said Speier, a Democrat serving in her seventh term in the House, according to audio of the exchange reviewed by POLITICO. Speier launched into her critique of The Hill after fielding a question from its senior staff writer Scott Wong about who her dream witness would be at the impeachment proceedings.
Protesters in Hong Kong have once again blocked a highway in an outlying area after the government did not meet their demand that it pledge to go ahead with local elections later this month. The protesters had allowed one lane of traffic to re-open in each direction and gave the government 24 hours to meet their demand. Constitutional Affairs Secretary Patrick Nip said the government hopes the election will be held on schedule but warned that it could be postponed if conditions are unsafe and roads and other transportation are blocked.
A US citizen and military veteran suffering from a mental health condition will reportedly receive $190,000 (£147,988) from a Michigan city after local officials transferred him to ICE detention following an arrest last year. Jilmar Ramos-Gomez, a decorated Marine veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, was arrested while experiencing an episode in which he lost all recollection, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Police found the veteran, who was born and raised in Michigan, on the helipad of a hospital after he started a small fire and pulled an alarm, according to reports.
Interim president Jeanine Anez moved Thursday to consolidate power in deeply polarized Bolivia, winning recognition from the United States and immediately shifting the country's foreign policy on erstwhile ally Venezuela. Anez was expected to complete her government line-up, having named new military chiefs and half of her proposed 20-member cabinet - including Defense Minister Fernando Lopez Julio - the night before. "We have come to pacify the country," Lopez Julio said in a speech at the military college in La Paz.
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. The 16-year-old suspected of fatally shooting two students and wounding three others at their high school Thursday was an unlikely gunman, classmates and neighbors said. Following a 16-second burst of gunfire that ended with the suspect shooting himself in the head, the boy was is in critical condition at a local hospital, said Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva.
Several black leaders in South Carolina who were listed as supporters of the Buttigieg campaign's "Douglass Plan" distanced themselves from the proposal and the campaign when pressed for comment, saying that the campaign was "intentionally vague" in asking for their endorsements. According to a report from The Intercept, three South Carolina black leaders — Columbia City Councilwoman Tameika Devine, Rehoboth Baptist pastor and state Representative Ivory Thigpen, and Johnnie Cordero, chair of the state party's Black Caucus — all expressed misgivings over the way that the Buttigieg campaign featured their names prominently in an open letter published in the the HBCU Times touting the plan's details.

Let $k$ be a commutative ring, $R$ and $S$ commutative $k$-algebras. Let $L$ and $M$ be $R$-modules. Consider the natural map $$\operatorname{Hom}_R(L,M)\otimes_k S \to \operatorname{Hom}_{R \otimes_k S}(L\otimes_k S, M \otimes_k S).$$
In what generality is this map an isomorphism?
Note: This question is reposted from math.SE. The partial answer here appears to show that it suffices to assume $S$ is free as a $k$-module, and either $S$ is finite over $k$ or $L$ is finitely generated as an $R$-module. It also seems to state that if $S$ is free but not finite over $k$, and $L$ is free but not finite over $R$, and $M$ is "reasonable" (e.g., $M=R$), then the morphism fails to be an isomorphism. But it is unsatisfying that the entire analysis (for providing both counterexamples and hypotheses) relies on the assumption that $S$ is free over $k$.
Edit: The following reduction is suggested by a-fortiori: the term on the left is equal to $$\operatorname{Hom}_R(L,M) \otimes_R (R \otimes_k S),$$ and the term on the right is equal to $$\operatorname{Hom}_{R \otimes_k S}(L \otimes_R (R \otimes_k S), M \otimes_R (R \otimes_k S)).$$ Thus, writing $T = R \otimes_k S$, we find that the morphism in question is $$\operatorname{Hom}_R(L, M) \otimes_R T \to \operatorname{Hom}_T(L \otimes_R T, M \otimes_R T).$$ Replacing $T$ by $S$, we see that we have reduced the original question to the case $k = R$, and consequently, $S = R \otimes_k S$. (I found a-fortiori's explanation overly succinct, but I think I've overcompensated.)

All hail the reigning queen of Instagram.
Taylor Swift just reached a major milestone on the social media platform after she clocked in at over 50 million followers.
PHOTOS: Taylor Swift's fierce concert looks
The "Blank Space" singer took to Instagram (naturally) to thank all of her adoring fans, saying, "50 million followers! Thanks so much guys. I'm pretty sure this is just because I have cute cats though."
Swift's fan base surpasses Beyoncé and even Kim Kardashian, who have 47.5 and 48.4 million followers each, respectively.
But that's not the only reason why T.Swift landed in the headlines Thursday. Earlier, the Grammy winner's first cover for GQ was released and caught everyone's attention.
Dressed in a figure-grazing see-through dress and leaning up against a beach setting, Swift is smoldering for the men's magazine shoot.
And as luck would have it, her boyfriend, Scottish DJ and producer Calvin Harris, even favorited several tweets about how stunning she looks in the photo. We all agree.
Way to go, Taylor. Bravo on your Insta milestone.

Davis spokesman resigns from campaign
AUSTIN — Bo Delp, spokesman and former communications director for Sen. Wendy Davis' campaign for governor, has resigned.
Delp said it was "an honor" to work for the Democratic senator, who faces Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott. He said that he is confident in her candidacy and that he will support her "wherever and whenever possible."
"I am proud of the work I have done, and know that my successor will continue to build on my successes, and my mistakes, to do what is necessary to win in November," Delp said in a letter of resignation dated Tuesday.
Davis reorganized her communications department earlier this year after running into some tough sledding with the media.
Zac Petkanas, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's former communications director, became Davis' communications director in March. Delp had stayed on as deputy communications director. Delp said Thursday that he is "considering a number of other opportunities in Texas Democratic politics."
"After eight months of service, Bo offered his letter of resignation to the campaign. He is leaving the campaign to consider a number of other opportunities in Texas Democratic politics," Petkanas said. "The campaign and Wendy Davis thank him for his hard work. He is someone who is extraordinarily talented and has a very bright future in Texas politics."

'Game Change' sequel offers surprising revelations about Obama
There are many juicy disclosures in Double Down: Game Change 2012 that undoubtedly will set Washington politicos' hearts fluttering.
In their new book about the last presidential campaign, Mark Halperin and John Heilemann reveal that the White House polled and focus-grouped everything under the sun, including the possibility of having Vice President Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton switch roles. Adding Clinton to the ticket, however, didn't materially improve President Obama's odds, they write.
They unveil the source of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's famous charge that GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney had not paid any taxes in 10 years: Jon Huntsman Sr., the father of one of Romney's early GOP primary rivals.
And they offer some interesting detail of Biden's chafing to play a larger role in the administration while demonstrating that the vice president's ambition for a 2016 run is very real.
But perhaps the most evocative moments come when Halperin and Heilemann dig into the episodes when Obama seemed to be his own worst enemy.
Love him or hate him, Obama proved in his 2008 run to be one of the clutch campaigners of our time. But for a long moment during the final stretch of the campaign last October, the president looked as if he might blow it.
It started with his lousy performance at the first debate in Denver, when Obama appeared ill-prepared and simply outsmarted by Romney, whose dismal campaign was brought back to life by Obama's epic meltdown in the Mile High City.
Obama, of course, recovered in the second debate at Hofstra University on Long Island and went on to an electoral landslide.
But Halperin and Heilemann report that the situation for Team Obama just weeks before Election Day was far more perilous than outsiders could ever imagine.
In the lead-up to second debate, they write that "No Drama" Obama was having an existential crisis with less than 48 hours before what the campaign saw as perhaps the most pivotal point in his bid for re-election.
The president reverted to his Denver form during his second-to-last mock debate before Hofstra. He was emotionally flat and unable to connect with the voter stand-ins for a town-hall-style debate. Obama also rambled with answers that seemed "utterly devoid of message."
The Team Obama brain trust — led by his longtime advisers David Axelrod and David Plouffe — were worried, and with great reason.
The next day, Axelrod, Plouffe and Ron Klain, a former Biden aide turned debate coach, decided to stage an intervention with Obama. The president's response was startling.
It was well-known that Obama despised the theatrics of politics. But even more surprising, Obama, according to Halperin and Heilemann, acknowledged to his brain trust that he worried that his second-term agenda — much as Republicans groused — was thin gruel.
Obama even told his team that he wondered if he was even properly "wired" for the awkward pageantry of debate. The extraordinary moment wasn't lost on the brain trust. Klain said he realized they were entering uncharted territory.
"In October of an election year, on the eve of a pivotal debate, the president wasn't talking about tactics or strategy, about this line or that zinger," the authors observe. "He was talking about personal contradictions and ambivalence, about his discomfort with the campaign he was running, about his unease with the requirements of politics writ large, about matters that were fundamental, even existential."
The astounding moment, like the rest of the near-flawless narrative, is the product of 500 interviews with more than 400 individuals between 2010 and 2013.
As interesting as their insights into Obama, their dive into a Republican party that edged toward dysfunctional during the last election cycle may be even more valuable looking toward 2016.
The inevitability of Romney, as has been thoroughly reported, was hard for the party — which shifted sharply to the right after Sen. John McCain's loss to Obama in 2008 — to swallow. But Halperin and Heilemann add new polish to how much the right abhorred the thought of Romney as their standard-bearer.
They also provide new details in the unbearable slog Romney's team had vetting New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as a vice presidential candidate and the back-channel efforts to draft a "white knight" candidate to rescue the party as Romney struggled in some of the early primaries.
The work is billed as a sequel to their outstanding best seller Game Change , which chronicled the rise of Obama and the astonishing decision by McCain to pick a rather obscure politician (at the time) from Alaska named Sarah Palin to be his running mate.
In the pantheon of campaign books, Game Change is among the best. It didn't hurt that Halperin and Heilemann, political journalists from Time and New York magazines, respectively, had amazing material to work with for the 2008 campaign book.
How do you match chronicling the rise of a young charismatic politician who would make history as the first African-American to reach the White House by knocking off the wife of the most beloved Democratic politician since John F. Kennedy and a Republican war hero to get there?
The 2012 election cycle certainly resembled a three-ring circus at times. But the intrusions of Donald Trump's birther-ism rants, Rick Perry's inarticulateness, and Newt Gingrich's line of credit at Tiffany's can't hold a candle to McCain's decision to pick Palin in terms of zaniness or the pathos of the Obama-Clinton rivalry.
Yet Heilemann and Halperin's ability to get behind the scenes and into Obama's head makes Double Down nearly as riveting as their first work.

Nora Ephron, Filmmaker, Is Dead at 71
Nora Ephron, Filmmaker, Is Dead at 71
Writer and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Nora Ephron, known for the movies When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle and most recently Julie and Julia, has died. She was 71. All Things Considered host Melissa Block talks to NPR's Bob Mondello about Ephron's life and work.
The writer Nora Ephron has died. Over the course of six decades, she chronicled the lives of women in newsprint, in books, on the stage and on screen. She was 71 years old, and died of complications from a blood disorder. She's best known for romantic comedies such as "Sleepless in Seattle" and "When Harry Met Sally," but she also brought to the big screen Karen Silkwood and Julia Child.
Joining us now to talk about Nora Ephron is our movie critic Bob Mondello. And Bob, Nora Ephron started her writing career in newspapers. She made her - a name for herself in the 1970s, writing very funny essays. Her first credit for writing a movie, was for "Silkwood."
BOB MONDELLO, BYLINE: Which is so not like the things that she became known for later. Karen Silkwood, of course, was a whistleblower in the nuclear power industry. And with Meryl Streep, and Mike Nichols directing, they turned this into a really searing drama. And she followed it up, kind of, with an adaptation of her novel "Heartburn," which was about her own marriage and how it broke up - to one of the great reporters...
BLOCK: Her marriage to Carl Bernstein, right.
MONDELLO: That's right. Again, pretty searing and great parts for Jack Nicholson - it does not set up the career that we actually know her for.
BLOCK: And she really hit her stride with a string of romantic comedies, most notably "When Harry Met Sally." Let's listen to a scene.
BLOCK: That's Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal there, in "When Harry Met Sally." Bob, what do you think it was about that film - also, about "Sleepless in Seattle" and "You've Got Mail" - that made them really resonate with film-goers ?
MONDELLO: You know, I think it was in that clip. You can hear that the characters have a little bit of edge. Romantic comedy was always a treacly form. And she came into it - she is a woman writing in a male-dominated industry - and she wasn't willing to put up with that. So her movies became a little more strong.
When you think about "You've Got Mail" and the work that that came from - "The Shop Around the Corner," which is the world's most sentimental piece of work - she made it seem more substantial than that. It seemed to be current and interesting and about real people. And I think that's what she brought to things.
BLOCK: And Nora Ephron very willing and able to laugh at herself. I'm thinking about her recent book of essays, "I Feel Bad About My Neck" - the title sort of says it all - hilariously funny. What was she working on in her last years - do you know?
MONDELLO: Well, interestingly, it's a combination of the things she did originally - those biographical pieces - and the comedies that she was doing. She was working on - she had two films in development. One was a biopic of Peggy Lee, the singer, that she wrote, and was to direct; and it was going to star Reese Witherspoon. The other was "Lost in Austen" - A-U-S-T-E-N - about the writer, not about the city. It was about a Jane Austen fan who sort of swaps places with Austen's fictional characters. It sounds like perfect material for the kind of thing that Nora Ephron loved to do.
BLOCK: OK. Bob, thank you.
MONDELLO: Thank you.
BLOCK: That's NPR film critic Bob Mondello. We were talking about the writer and filmmaker Nora Ephron, who died today at age 71.
