DETROIT (Reuters) - When the state-imposed manager of Detroit, Kevyn Orr, starts the job on Monday he will wade into a city of crumbling neighborhoods where police fail to respond to some calls, arson fires burn out of control and residents scour charred buildings for scrap metal to sell.
Except for the business district and a cultural area including a university, museum and some theaters, the city of Detroit, population 700,000, is in bad shape.
Orr, a Washington, D.C.-based bankruptcy lawyer, will have the official title of "Emergency Financial Manager." But his remit as an unelected administrator will range far beyond money.
His top priority on Day 1 will be improving public safety.
"We have to gain the public's trust, and to do that, we have to show progress with fire and police services," Orr told Reuters in an interview last week.
This could be what one former Detroit police chief called a "Herculean task" for Orr, recruited by Michigan's Republican Governor Rick Snyder to fix Detroit because of his "very successful career in restructuring and bankruptcy."
Orr's most notable career achievement to date was as a top lawyer in the restructuring of Detroit-area carmaker Chrysler.
Orr said he thinks the stories of Detroit's demise "are over-rated in my opinion." "The city center is a lot better than people thought," he said, and he hopes he can push that recovery momentum out to the neighborhoods.
As he travels a sprawling city larger than Boston, San Francisco and Manhattan combined, he will encounter the realities of Detroit's long downward slide.
On September 1, a 36-year-old man walked into a Detroit fire station, admitted he shot four people and asked to be arrested. But officers never showed, so the suspect eventually went to a nearby police station and was detained.
"Due to patrols being busy handling high priority runs, no units were dispatched," police said in a statement at the time.
The number of the city's uniformed police officers has fallen from 3,070 in 2000 to 2,000 today, according to city figures. This has left the department so understaffed officers cannot get to some crimes, even violent ones.
Mayor Dave Bing reluctantly reduced the department's budget by 20 percent last year, and pay for police and firefighters was cut 10 percent because there was no money to pay them.
The number of murders per 100,000 people in Detroit in 2012 was around 10 times the national average, according to U.S. government statistics. Homicides rose 9 percent last year.
Detroit Fire Department records show the city has an average of 30 fires daily, most of them suspected arson. Fire department union president, Dan McNamara, said the culprits usually get away with it because of a shortage of arson investigators.
In one case on March 11, Larry Davis, 62, nervously watched a blaze that fire officials said was intentionally set, as it spread to three houses behind his home because the city did not have enough firefighters to respond quickly.
"It's a joke," Davis said as he watched people scouring the charred houses for scrap metal soon after firefighters left. "It's like we're forgotten out here. You can't get the police to come here. And now this?"
While he has the authority to replace the city's police chief, who has been the interim chief for months, and fire chief, Orr said he has no immediate plans to do so.
He said he wants to learn from people who have already studied public safety issues in Detroit before talking about specific plans. He wants to use staff more efficiently and see if technological innovations can help.
Ralph Godbee, Detroit's police chief from 2010 to 2012, who resigned over allegations of a sexual relationship with a female law enforcement subordinate, said it will be extremely difficult to make quick improvements the public will notice.
"He's got a Herculean task, especially given the time he has," Godbee said. "You may get some efficiencies, but they are not going to be substantial. There has to be more police officers on the street."
Orr is optimistic he will finish his work in Detroit within 18 months. And he will have one important lever Mayor Bing doesn't have: one of his sweeping powers will be the ability to change agreements with Detroit's 48 unions.
The police union, for example, has resisted putting more cops on the street in part out of fear that desk jobs will be turned over to civilians and eliminate police jobs.
Detroit City Council President Pro Tem Gary Brown, the city's former deputy police chief, said Orr will be able to unilaterally change work rules to force more police out on the streets.
But Orr will have to show quick results without throwing much money at the problems. The city that gave birth to the auto industry is running a budget deficit of about $100 million this fiscal year and has long-term debt and liabilities totaling some $14 billion, according to a state report.
Orr has said his goal is to avoid taking Detroit to bankruptcy court, which would be the biggest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.
In an interview last week, Governor Snyder agreed that to solve the city's financial crisis, Orr will have to establish credibility by making early improvements that will be recognized by residents.
"It won't happen overnight, but it will happen when you start showing success," Snyder told Reuters.
Richard Levin, a restructuring attorney with Cravath, Swaine & Moore in New York, said Orr will have to draw on powers of persuasion to pull it off. "You can't be a dictator," Levin said. You've got to be a consensus-builder, a real politician."

Exploring Connections
|Introduction | Try It Yourself: 3D Figures/Isometric Dot Paper | Problem Reflection | Summary | Your Journal
As you think about the mathematical tasks you plan for your students, it is important to consider how the tasks connect to other mathematical topics, how they relate to other subject areas in the middle grades, and how they apply to contexts outside the classroom. This provides opportunities for students to experience mathematics as a coherent whole, rather than isolated "tidbits" to be learned -- and then forgotten when the chapter test is over!
Working with two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional figures also connects the Process Standards. We can best solve this problem by approaching it with specific strategies (solve a simpler problem), reasoning about the relationships between the views of the building, and communicating our ideas with others.

Facebook's chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg unloaded $7.44 million in shares as the company freed up its stock.
Sandberg sold off 339,512 at around $21.10 each on Halloween, the first day the stock lock up ended, according to Bloomberg News. She also sold an additional 13,392 shares at $20.79 each.
Facebook released 229 million shares for trading this week, and as we reported earlier, it will also release another 777 million shares on Nov. 14.
Theodore Ullyot, Facebook's general counsel, also sold 149,075 shares which raised $3.13 million, Bloomberg reported.
So far, co-founder Mark Zuckerberg's meetings to stop his employees from unloading stock don't seem to be working -- at least not in the upper echelon. Zuckerberg himself sold off 30.2 million shares just after his wedding and just after Facebook's initial public offering.

Emotional Cities API - Followers
Emotional Cities is an art project that studies and visualizes the emotions of individuals and groups. It uses data gathered from it's website, where users can log on and answer the question "How are you today?" Emotional Cities also provides a REST API allowing developers to query the Emotional Cities data and create their own applications around it. The API methods mostly relate to 'mood' but there are a few other bits of data the API can provide, such as a city's weather report.

The best kind of mail? The kind that comes with an introduction to a new baked good. And recently, I became friends with a new baked good with a fascinating history, via reader Sofia from Portugal, who is "married, have 2 girls, baked my first cake when I was 12 and never stopped since, work in the shipping business and am part-time cake designer since 2007 and I am totally and absolutely mad about chocolate." A true friend! Here goes Sofia:
I Live in Lisbon, Portugal and would like to tell you about some sweet pastries called Pastéis de Belém (baked since 1837).
Well, how shall I begin to describe these marvelous, wonderful and crunchy pastries? Let's start with a little historical context.
It all began early in the 19th century.
Next to the Jerónimos Monastery, there was a sugar cane refinery, but liberal revolution resulted in the extinction of the religious orders and convents, and monasteries were closed and the workers and the clergy were expelled.
In an attempt to prevent eviction, a monk had the idea of selling some sweet pastries, which quickly gained success and began to be called Pastéis de Belém!
At that time Belém was still far from the city of Lisbon. However, the grandiosity of the monastery and the Tower of Belém attracted visitors who soon grew used to savoring the delicious pastries baked in the monastery.
Nowadays it is said that the recipe is still the original, some ingredients remain a secret, and the pastries are baked in the "secret room".
Now the pastries…
The outside is made of light, crunchy pastry with a slight pinch of salt. The inside is creamy and sweet. They are better when still warm and are served with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
If you'd like to come over and have a taste, prepare yourself for a long line.
In the Summer or in sunny Winter days one good thing to do is to buy the pastries and cross the street to eat them in the park sitting on a bench, if available, or on the grass (beware of sparrows that will approach to eat crumbs)!
How I like to eat them: take little bites around until the filling is surrounded by a thin coat of pastry and then put it all in my mouth.
Note: In the same street, but one block away there's a Starbucks and I can assure you, it all goes very well together.

Much sweeter than wearing your heart on your sleeve? Wearing sweets around your neck, or on your finger, or around your wrist! I'm talking about food-themed jewelry of course, and I'm pretty sure that Tiny Hands makes the absolute cutest stuff around. From teeny-tiny waffles with butter to sno-cones (pictured above) to slices of pie to doughnuts and cookies and now, even cupcake rings, these charms are not only adorable, but they are scented, too. What a fantastic way to declare your love of sweets!
- First, choose any item equal or lesser than $30 from the store.
- Next, post a link to it, and why you chose that piece, either in the comments section on this post (moderation is enabled!) or post your response on the CakeSpy facebook page.
UPDATE: The winner!
We have a winner, friends! The randomly chosen comment was Laurie G's, who chose thusly:
The birthday cupcake (vanilla with strawberry frosting) is suuuuuuper cute!!! :D http://tinyhandsonline.com/scented-birthday-cupcake-necklace.html

Congratulations! If you're investing set amounts of money every month, you're dollar-cost averaging! That simply means you're buying more stock when prices are lower and less when they are higher. Some folks think this is a great way to avoid volatility in the market, because their investments "average out" over time.
So how can those on tight budgets buy stock? Many publicly traded companies have made it easy with DRPs, also known as Drips. (Insert your own joke here.) DRP stands for the very unfunny-sounding Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Drips and their cousins, Direct Stock Purchase Plans (DSPs), are great ways to invest small amounts of money cheaply; they allow you to bypass brokers (and their commissions) by buying stock directly from the companies or their agents.
More than 1,000 major corporations offer these types of stock plans, and many of them are free -- or have fees low enough to make it worthwhile to invest as little as $20 or $30 at a time. Once you're in the plan, you don't even have to buy a full share each time you make a contribution. Most Drip investors buy a set amount of stock on a monthly basis, thereby dollar-cost averaging over the life of their investment.
Here's how it works: Drips allow you to reinvest dividends into more shares of stock, and they allow you to purchase stock in fractional amounts -- meaning that if you want to spend $100 buying shares of Microsoft, you can do so regardless of what the price of one share of Microsoft may be. So, if Microsoft is selling at $75 a share, you'll buy 1.33 shares of it with your $100; if the stock is selling at $125 a share, you'll get 0.8 shares for the same amount.
Many Drips will set up an automatic payment plan for you, so you never even miss the money you're setting aside for your future. Dripping for dollars can be one of the surest, steadiest ways to build wealth over your lifetime (just make sure you keep good records for tax purposes).
But what if you want to invest in a company that doesn't have a Drip plan? Some brokers offer many of the same services as regular Drip programs. Companies such as ShareBuilder, FOLIOfn, and BUYandHOLD.com allow you to set up Drip-like accounts where you can buy shares of any of 4,000 stocks (and many index funds) with low transaction costs.
Make sure you understand how these plans work and their particular quirks. For instance, BUYandHOLD currently has a monthly minimum. ShareBuilder has a higher charge to sell a stock. That's not going to be a problem for Drip-type investors, but it's something to keep in mind if you think you'll be an active trader. Also, as with Drip investing generally, the share purchases for any of these brokers are not necessarily made according to your schedule -- although all offer real-time trades for those occasions when you need to act quickly.
To evaluate whether these services are good deals, let's consider the Foolish maxim of not allowing your trading cost to exceed 2% of your total transaction. The lowest fee available from ShareBuilder and FOLIOfn is $4, so that would mean you'd want to invest at least $200 at a time to stay within the limit (2% of $200 = $4). If you can't come up with $200 each month, though, just stash the cash in a savings account until you get there, and then make the transaction.
Because of the $7 fee at BUYandHOLD, however, you'll need to make sure you invest at least $350 each month (2% of $350 = $7). This certainly makes the service less attractive for many Drip investors. Unless you'll be pumping $4,200 a year into the plan, your costs will exceed the 2% ceiling.

[ED. Note: This article was published before announcement of The DC Movie Universe release schedule.]
If there's one thing the Dark Knight Trilogy proved, it's that DC Comics' most well-known heroes can be done justice on the big screen. With the recent success of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, the only question facing Warner Bros. seems to be: who's next?
How well characters like Flash and Aquaman will fare in DC's Movieverse remains to be seen, but if we're talking the publisher's heaviest hitters, it seems Wonder Woman should be next in line for a live-action adaptation. We've covered Aquaman, now we give you 5 reasons why Wonder Woman could be THE next big DC/WB movie franchise.
See if you share our opinion that the princess of Paradise Island has everything a blockbuster needs to succeed...
The Story
The most devoted fans of DC's heroes and heroines know that the existential/identity crisis at the heart of Superman and Batman is somewhat of a publisher trademark. But applying the same lens to the story of Wonder Woman, there is room to explore more than just isolation or fear.
Like Superman or Aquaman, Diana is also the product of a mystical society - but unlike her peers, she was not raised to be a part of humanity's world. Raised by women, the world she is sent to explore and protect is not only alien, but in her eyes, prejudiced. Wonder Woman may be known for her combat skills, but as the highest-ranking woman in DC's roster, how she is portrayed in any medium says much about the modern woman.
Even Marvel's leading ladies know how much Wonder Woman can say about our world, so a serious take on the story is not only more relevant than ever, it's long overdue.
The Characters
Potential Wonder Woman actresses may be the hot topic when discussing a live-action movie, but the larger fiction of the character is filled with a supporting cast of heroes and villains.
For starters, there's Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons and Diana's mother. Add a supporting cast of literally dozens of other warrior women (more than audiences have seen in every superhero film combined), and the writers would have a wealth of characters to work with before Diana ever encountered Colonel Steve Trevor and the outside world.
The New 52 reboot from Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang has added even more demigods - siblings of Diana - with powers as varied as their appearance. In other words, a chance to cast not just one, but several up-and-coming young men and women (on the side of good or evil).
The Setting
It's a safe bet that much of a Wonder Woman movie would take place on Themyscira, the hidden island of the Amazons. There's a reason it's known as Paradise Island, and its classical Greek/Roman architecture is just the tip of the iceberg.
Recalling just how well Zack Snyder brought the planet Krypton to life in Man of Steel is reason enough for us to anticipate a big screen sojourn to Themyscira, where the lines between the real world and that of the ancient Greek gods continually blur.
What that means for audiences isn't just swords-and-sandals combat (always a crowd-pleaser), but ancient battlefields, the deception and honoring of the gods, and magical weaponry. Satisfying on their own, but once those elements are brought into the real world, humanity (and its limited heroes) are caught in the crossfire.
The Mythology
We'll forgive anyone unfamiliar with the latest take on Wonder Woman (as part of DC's New 52), but the mysterious sources of Diana's powers are gone: she is now a daughter of Zeus and part of history's most dysfunctional family.
It's not easy adding something new to ancient mythology (just ask the makers of Thor), but writer Brian Azzarello has done it. No longer self-righteous royalty living above the mortal world, the gods and goddesses - Ares, Hera, Apollo and more - walk among humanity, having their influence felt, but rarely unveiled.
The all-too-plausible machinations of the divine family bring classic mythology smack into the modern day, with the most recent addition - Wonder Woman - at the center of it all. It's a take on Greek myth that few films have ever attempted, and could be worth the price of admission alone.
Now that Man of Steel has opened the door for a Justice League universe, the largest task facing DC and WB will be explaining the emergence of heroes on the heels of Superman's arrival. And although audiences will no doubt enjoy seeing the League gathered on screen, establishing any threat large enough to warrant a team-up will be a challenge.
Regardless of where a Wonder Woman movie fits in relation to General Zod's invasion - Themyscira is famously removed from the larger world, physically and philosophically - the mythological forces at work in Diana's powers and people don't just make her powerful: they make her unique. Superman may be strong, but in the world of the magic, he's out of his depth. And establishing a limit to what Superman can do (or even comprehend) is a wise move if he's going to be needing backup later on.
The emergence of Superman would offer several reasons for Diana's mission to the larger world; it could be taken as a sign that humanity had learned to revere those with godlike powers, or even set Diana up as a rival to Supes, taking issue with his decision to appoint himself Earth's guardian instead of living in secret as her people do. With the themes of fear, isolation and paranoia in Man of Steel, there's no question Wonder Woman could fit right in.
Below you'll find a quick recap of why we believe an Wonder Woman movie could be the next successful superhero blockbuster for DC Comics and Warner Bros. Do you agree with our reasoning? Let us know in the comments!
- The Story - Diana can represent a modern age and strong femininity like no other.
- The Characters - Varied, unique, and numerous enough to feature plenty of promising stars.
- The Setting - A blend of old and new unlike any other.
- The Mythology - Allusions to classic myth in a modern age is a treatment never before seen.
- Continuity - Establish the last of DC's 'Big Three' in the movie universe, and define the limits of Superman.

De Blasio Would Make A Great POTUS
This Time Trump Was Telling The Truth
Cohen's attempt at damage control just added fuel to the fire.
Overall these guys are really shitty at what they do. How come they've had such a free ride for decades?
and get $550 an hour for it.
The above is Manhattan standard, nothing special. The better guys/gals get $750 per hr. and up. But here is a more applicable number I just ran across:
She's toying with him as if she were playing with a doll or something - wonder where she learned to do that?
oh I was not paying attention to the ID of the judge until now. Recognized the name immediately from pre-internet news junkie days. From the Wikipedia entry on her, she had these 15 minutes of fame:
In the Nannygate matter of 1993, Wood was Bill Clinton's second unsuccessful choice for United States Attorney General.[7] Like Clinton's previous nominee, Zoë Baird, Wood had hired an illegal immigrant as a nanny, but unlike Baird, she had paid the required taxes on the employee. Wood employed the illegal immigrant at a time when it was legal to do so, before the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 made the hiring of illegal immigrants unlawful.[8] The threat of a repetition of the same controversy nevertheless led to the hasty withdrawal of Wood from consideration.[9][10] Janet Reno was later nominated and confirmed for the post.[9] White House officials said they were angry at Judge Wood because she had not told Clinton and other officials about the nanny, even when she had been directly asked. In her statement, however, Judge Wood said she had not misled the White House.[10]
Should also note something in the enry that I did not know: she was a Reagan appointee to the Southern District, recommended by Al D'Amato, eventually became Chief Judge in 2006, and has been Senior Status since 2009, so that she has choice of cases and how many.
this part too should also be noted about Kimba:
She received a Master of Science from the London School of Economics in 1966. While in London, she spent five days training as a Playboy bunny.
Sweet (previous) and double sweet (this). And sweeter - she sentenced Milken to 10 years in jail) later reduced, plus this chestnut:
On November 19, 2010, Judge Wood received attention in connection with a letter to the court from Bennet M. Epstein, an attorney, who asked for time off from a trial to attend his then-unborn grandson's bris, if the baby proved to be a boy. In response, Judge Wood wrote that Epstein would be permitted to attend the bris, but that "if a daughter is born, there will be a public celebration in court, with readings from poetry celebrating girls and women."[16]
Trump & Cohen got a great venue for this one. Keep up the gamez, doodz - you'll have your asses handed to you toot d'suite.
And the mystery 3rd client is:
(drum roll)
(if you could choose one man to be the 3rd client, who would it be)
(someone completely absurd and yet so utterly perfect)
(no, not Bill Cosby)
(another drum roll)
(the tinkle of 1000 triangles)
the sad irony is I thought you were making it up, and then I googled, and I've just got to learn that in the crazy world of Trump we live in: NO ONE WOULD MAKE THIS STUFF UP....which brings to mind the whole faux news shit and I get a headache about fiction/reality.
Let's go back to start of the story where the young woman gives up on working as a Playboy bunny in London and goes on to become an important judge who....
cuts her teeth on Michael Milken...
(becomes known for dressing down negligent advocates in-chamber...)
and then runs into Michael Cohen...
a morality play in 3 axe
p.s. I am wondering crazy shit (there is endless potential for that), i.e., is Hannity pay to Cohen really not for legal purposes at all but just to get inside info on the Trumpian brain? Not that I can't envision Hannity wanting to get in on a totally unrelated (or not!) taxi medallion deal with Russian emigres or something similar....
I think Sean (and now everyone else) has a pretty good understanding of Michael Cohen's expertise.
PS There really isn't much mystery to the Trumpian brain.
I hear he's multilingual - "I breaka you face" in English Russian and Italian - maybe even Yiddish. Picture hom in Harvey Keitel's role in Pulp Fiction - suddenly it's Reservoir Dogs II.
Hannity says he never got an invoice from Cohen, and Cohen says he never sent one to Trump for the 130k "out of my pocket" Stormy payoff.
Cohen solely and exclusively does pro bono work for millionaires and billionaires........is that normal..?...something rotten in Denmark...!!!!
So I presume there is no attorney-client privilege then?
while it's ridiculous in this situation, I'd hate to think anyone who has a pro-bono lawyer doesn't have privilege because they didn't pay anything
But you made me delve into what's really going on in court this a bit.The arguments involved are actually pretty fascinating, as we are really delving into unusual territory with this case. I found this good piece from NPR from yesterday: LAW: Cohen, Trump Push To Decide What's Protected By Attorney-Client Privilege And this two pager from the ABA Confidentiality, Privilege: A Basic Value in Two Different Applications.
Makes pretty clear to me that everyone is doing what they are supposed to now in Judge Wood's court. It's like a trial in itself where we've got a strict advocacy situation where it's Cohen's job and Cohen's attorney's job (paid or not) to argue not to let them see a single damn thing (unless Trump and Hannity say they can). Both ethically and legally, it's their job to argue over every damn item. And it's the prosecutor's job to try to prove they've got adequate safeguards in place for any privileged information and also that there's significant threat to rule of law if they don't get it what they need. Judge Wood decides.
Makes clear the privilege, it's not ironclad, and its different in each jurisdiction, and it can be picked at if the opponent really wants to and makes a convincing case. But ethics seems to prescribe that the attorney should fight like hell over each and every piece of information.
He's not just saying that he didn't pay Cohen. He's saying that Cohen isn't his lawyer.
More on this in my last comment below. You do not have to hire an attorney to get it, just to seriously ask the attorney for advice as if you might hire him for your problem. The point: attorney's are just not supposed to talk to anyone else about what you told them when asking for advice.
Yeah the Hannity situation and what he says are ridiculous. But we don't want to throw out our principles just to get Sean Hannity.
The Judge decides. Luckily we have a good one in this case. Who knows bullshit when she sees it, and therefore said already: let his name be known. But she also is letting Cohen have copies of everything they took. Which puts Hannity in the place of being able to say: there's nothing to this if he and Cohen think they can argue it has nothing to do with the Feds.
Quite interesting to see what (Atty./Prof) Seth Abramson saw in the very same Hannity tweet, hah:
Jake Tapper has it right:
.@jaketapper: The judge forced Michael Cohen to admit in court he has a third client. And the third client is Sean Hannity.— The Lead CNN (@TheLeadCNN) April 16, 2018
Go home 2018, you're drunk. https://t.co/7McUZSjki8 pic.twitter.com/rXkx91hxCI
From the third link there, by
"I've known Michael a long, long time. Let me be very clear to the media. Michael never represented me in any matter. I never retained him in the traditional sense as retaining a lawyer. I never received an invoice from Michael. I never paid legal fees to Michael," Hannity said.
"But I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective," he added. "And I assume that those conversations were attorney-client confidential."
Hannity added, "not one of any issue I ever dealt with Michael Cohen on ever, ever involved a matter between me and any third party."
Brings up a point of interest to me. I just saw the anchor at CNN ask the reporter Shimon Prokupecz about attorney-client privilege in general and he said you do not have to have signed a retainer with a lawyer to have attorney client privilege. I.E., you can call a lawyer about a problem and get initial advice in a consultation, and you've got it, forever. Even if you end up hiring someone else.
So all of this is really up to the Judge. And the FBI was really going out on a limb here. Which to me says: they were confident it was important and a judge would end up agreeing with them.
The ruling today was actually in the favor of both sides. She's letting Cohen see and go over everything they took. Which means he could argue over every damn piece of info. At risk of angering the Judge if the arguments are flippant on either side. One clue is she already said: let Hannity's name be known.
hah. but ya know, I was thinking earlier on his whole Whitey Bulger/Mueller shtick, that could be all projection about some relative or another. His public persona certainly has the some of the Irish mob character ticks where he could easily play one in a drama
And your response is that you went for the same reasons as your friends ... how it is proven to be otherwise is the question.
Yes - we've all seen the ads and know the fact that you can consult an attorney for free for legal advise without ending up as their client, with the conversation being protected by privilege.
What the judge is ultimately deciding here is not whether there was privilege, but whether it's of the sort that is protected.
As I've repeated ad nauseam we still don't know what Mueller has found. But there's only two possibilities. Either he has some very compelling evidence or there's a grand conspiracy involving Mueller and all his attorneys, the DOJ, the state attorney and at least many of the attorneys in his office, and several judges. He got a no knock warrant for Manafort's documents and a warrant to search documents of Trump's attorney despite the protections of attorney client privilege. Neither of those warrants are easy to get. I almost never believe in grand conspiracies.
Judge Wood should not get all the credit, according to Bertrand, who was in the courtroom:
Unintended consequences indeed:
"it was such a minor relationship" - I think he got that excuse from Roy Moore. Wondering if that's a a Fraudian slit?
Of course, the most & the best. It's a combination of The People's Court/Judge Judy and The Sopranos - all like on TV (though skipping any of the serious stuff). I'm rather tired of being on this bastard's RealityTV, and I will hold no end of a grudge against the party that continues to enable it (that includes you, weasel Ryan, your sneaky Gollum-in-the-shadows Nunes and Supreme Court-stealer McConnell - rule of law my ass).
Constitutional law expert Noah Feldman @ Bloomberg.com:
Trump Should Be Worried by Cohen Probe. Really Worried.
Federal prosecutors can dog him for the rest of his presidency, and he has no power to fire them.

What Is Chanukkah?
In the Jewish calendar, Chanukkah's eight-day celebration begins the evening of the 25th of Kislev (which falls sometime during December). The months of the Jewish calendar are based on the cycles of the moon, so the 25th is always four days before the new moon, the darkest night of the month.
More importantly, because Kislev is always close to the winter solstice, Chanukkah takes you into, through, and out of the darkest night of the year. (The solstice is technically the longest night of the year, but it may fall on the full moon, which would make it far from dark.) On the darkest night of the year, wouldn't you want to light a few candles?
Chanukkah celebrates two things: a miracle in which one day's worth of oil burned for eight days, and the victory of the Jewish freedom fighters over the Syrian-Greek forces that tried to wipe out Judaism in the second century B.C.E. Chanukkah marks the very first battle fought neither for territory, nor for conquest of another people, but in order to achieve religious freedom. In a larger sense, then, Chanukkah celebrates a reaffirmation of freedom and a recommitment to the spiritual quest.
The story of Chanukkah is told in the two books of the Maccabees, written sometime in the first century B.C.E., about a hundred years after the whole drama happened. By 325 B.C.E., Alexander the Great's Greek empire extended all the way to the current-day Middle East. After he died, the empire split into smaller pieces ruled by a succession of smaller men.
Antiochus was such a ruler. After giving himself the surname Epiphanes ("god manifest"), he decided to forcibly rid his empire of local religions, including Judaism. He outlawed — upon penalty of death — kosher food, circumcision, and Shabbat services. Some Jews were less happy with the arrangement. One objector, Mattathias, killed a Jew who tried to follow the king's commandment by making a sacrifice to the Greek gods.
Fleeing to the mountains with his five sons, Mattathias gathered an army of other pious believers and began a bloody revolution that lasted three years (from 169 to 166 B.C.E.). After Mattathias's death, his son Judah led the guerrilla warfare against Antiochus's forces and the assimilated Jews, who became known as the Maccabees. After a series of clashes, the Maccabees retook Jerusalem, drove out the Syrian-Greek army, and began work repairing the desecrated grounds of the Second Temple.
By the time the later sections of the Talmud were being written (around 500 C.E.), the political situation had changed, and the rabbis were less enamored of the Maccabees. First of all, as is so often the case with armed revolutions, the victorious Maccabean families set themselves up as kings over the land and became as oppressive as the previous regime and allied themselves with the Roman Empire, leading to the eventual Roman conquest.
While these rabbis wouldn't simply reject the Chanukkah celebration, they decided instead to emphasize a different aspect of the holiday in their commentary. Legend had it that when the Temple was rededicated, the Maccabees could only find a single cruse of pure oil, enough to burn the Eternal Flame for one day. Unfortunately, it would take eight days to get more oil. God, the Talmud says, performed a miracle and made the oil last for eight days.
The Talmud's subtle message: It is the miracle of the oil that people should celebrate more than the military victory. Tradition therefore includes these words from the Prophet Zachariah as part of the synagogue readings on Chanukkah: "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Eternal One. . . ."

Yesterday I was doing a downwinder. Half way down there were some great waves (about 2 to 3 meters high). In one of them I crashed and when I came up to catch some air - Bang, and the board hit my head. A clear cut and blood running down.
I kited home and when I came out of the water and other kiters looked at me, asking what happened, everyone of them told me it had happened to them in the past too. I was amazed...
But there is nothing you can do other than be careful and to be prepared that the board might hit you (and no, I don't want to start a new helmet discussion).
PS: When I came home from dinner and we had a last drink at our friend's apartment, I showed them something on their TV. When I went up - Bang, and this time a cut and blood running off my forehead...you can imagine the laugh. It was definitely not my day yesterday!

A new health insurance option that promises deep discounts through a "narrow network" is being shopped to big, self-insured companies in the Chicago area, a move that could intensify competition among insurance providers and hospitals to hold on to patients.
The Chicago office of Towers Watson & Co., a New York-based consulting firm, has teamed up with Salt Lake City-based Imagine Health Inc. to launch a pilot version of the Smart Employer Network in Chicago in 2013. Employers in Idaho, Texas and New Mexico, where similar networks have been launched since 2007, have seen double-digit reductions in provider reimbursements, while hospitals and physicians have at least doubled and many times tripled their patient loads, Imagine Health CEO Allison Robbins says.
But none of these test markets is as spread out as Chicago, where large companies attract workers from Rockford to Joliet, Illinois, to northwest Indiana. "That's going to be a challenge for them to get the right mix of providers," says Nancy Daas, a partner at Chicago-based benefits consultant CMC Advisory Group.
Steve Riedl, a Towers Watson senior consulting actuary who is leading the charge to implement Smart E here, acknowledges it's an ambitious effort and a "significant investment for companies" that participate, but the consultancy projects that companies will save millions of dollars within a few years and have healthier workforces.
Narrow networks, in which people seek care with a limited number of hospitals and physicians in exchange for discounted rates, are becoming more popular as health care reform pushes hospitals and physicians to be more accountable and employers look to cut costs as medical expenses soar.
But introducing another insurance option in Chicago could be challenging, industry experts say. Many carriers already offer narrow networks and have or are rolling out incentive plans tied to high-quality care. Also, workers might be hesitant to cut longtime ties with doctors who don't get into the network.
"You have to make it an awful big difference financially to get somebody to say I'm going to leave my current doctor because I can save some money," says John Dougherty, a Glen Ellyn, Illinois, attorney who has been involved in health care for 30 years.
Imagine Health started building custom networks for large employers in 2002 as a way to help companies brand their health insurance plans, Robbins says. The company now covers about 150,000 people in seven states, with plans to expand in up to six major metro markets next year, including Chicago.
"There's pessimism really as to whether we're going to be able to put something together that results in a lower cost point and higher performance," Robbins says. "I think that's normal when you're innovating and you're doing something very new for folks."
The Smart E Network would offer deep discounts to employers for seeking care at a select number of hospitals and physician groups, which must bid to be part of the network. Their inclusion is based on the quality of the care they provide determined through a variety of metrics, such as patient outcomes and readmission rates. Providers agree to the discounts in exchange for a surge of patients.
Towers Watson is in the midst of a two-month feasibility study with five metro Chicago companies, each with at least 5,000 employees. Companies could save up to $1,500 per employee in health care costs a year, according to Riedl. For a company with 5,000 employees, that would amount to $7.5 million in annual savings.
Employees, who still would have access to a broader network, also would save. Their total out-of-pocket costs would be half that of a traditional PPO, he says.
Each participating company would pitch in to implement and maintain the network, with the cost likely to be based on a subscription model, including the number of participating employees and retirees and how much their medical care costs. Ideally, insurance carriers would offer the network alongside other options they provide to participating companies. But if they don't, a third-party administrator would.
Dougherty says every local carrier except Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Illinois, which dominates with nearly half the market share in Illinois, should be worried about a new potential rival.
But Bill Berenson, Aetna Inc.'s regional president of Illinois and four other Midwestern states, says the Hartford, Connecticut-based company doesn't view the Smart E Network as a threat. "Everybody's going to be looking for innovative solutions," he says.

Position Title: Post Harvest Storage Specialist – short-term (4.5 months)
The Government of Timor-Leste (GoTL) has established a Project Management Unit (PMU) within the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries in Dili. The objective of the PMU is to implement the Timor-Leste Maize Storage Project (TLMSP) referred to as "the Project", with due diligence within the framework of the laws, rules and regulations established under the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, and the rules and regulations stipulated in the Financing Agreement signed between the GoTL and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
The TLMSP will aim to distribute 42,000 (airtight) 200 litre drums to 23,000 households in 5 districts in Timor Leste will the aim of reducing losses of maize stored on farm.
Responsible to: the PM
Works together with: the Project's short-term Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist (M&ES) and the long-term Monitoring and Evaluation Officer (M&EO), and field staff who collect and collate information and data on post-harvest maize storage issues.
Location: Periodic visits to target districts, sucos and aldeias; with time spent in the field assisting district and suco staff with surveys and data collection exercises
Duration: 4.5 months, with inputs in the third year used for industry consultation, data processing and report writing.
The Post-Harvest Storage Specialist (PHSS) will provide support to ensure that the technical elements of the Project's M&E and research and development into future storage options are designed, planned, and reported to a high standard. The Specialist will also provide support to ensure that all technical materials developed by the Project are appropriate and address technical problems related to post-harvest issues. It is anticipated that these responsibilities will require field work in Timor-Leste during the first and second year of the Project.
1. Develop a methodology for the assessment of maize post-harvest losses in traditional maize storage systems in Timor-Leste. This will involve: (i) the creation of a visual scale for rapid loss assessment; (ii) a plan for the implementation of a loss survey; and (iii) a plan for the collection of ancillary data such as farmers' maize consumption patterns, use of maize shellers, etc. Project staff (including the PFs and the M&EO) will be trained in the implementation of the plan and in storing the resulting data.
2. In association with the PMU agree on a protocol for the collection of data on drum usage indicated by: (i) the quantity of grain stored; and (ii) conformity by households to the storage advice provided by the Project.
3. Assist with the planning and testing of locally produced, hermetic storage structures, for durability and consumer acceptability. In association with local manufacturers, this will involve inputs into the selection of prototype designs to be field-tested, the planning of test protocols, and data collection and analysis.
4. Provide quality control for technical materials (leaflets, posters, stickers, etc.) prepared by the Project, to ensure that they are technically sound and suitable for the intended purposes.
5. Be available to the PMU and all field-level staff to offer technical advice on post-harvest issues, as and when these arise.
6. Analyse data and prepare periodic reports (as required by the PM) on: (i) maize losses in traditional storage; (ii) the suitability of locally produced hermetic stores; and (iii) drum usage by target farmers.
The successful candidate will have:
1.A post-graduate degree from a recognized international university in a relevant field – agricultural engineering, etc.
2.At least 10 years' experience working in development as a grain storage specialist; including the design and implementation of baseline surveys to define current grain storage practices, and the conduct of periodic surveys/ case studies to monitor and evaluate progress and impact; and the design and conduct of special studies.
3.Demonstrated ability to establish strong working relationships with counterparts and project field staff, and to guide these staff in data and information collection.
4.Good skills in inter-personal communication, report writing; numeracy; analysis; and networking.
5.Sound computer literacy.
6.Fluency in English, some Tetun preferred.

SNOW HILL – The second of three men charged in the January 2007 murder of a local woman with ties to Ocean City pleaded guilty to a lesser manslaughter charge last Friday in Circuit Court and now awaits his fate pending the outcome of a pre-sentence investigation.
Shawn Anthony Treherne, 23, of Bowie, Md., pleaded guilty last week in Circuit Court to manslaughter for his part in the beating death of Judy Lynn Wojcik, who was 41 at the time of her death, in Pocomoke on Jan. 13, 2007. Treherne's plea to manslaughter last week came after a co-defendant in the case, David Keyvonne Justice, 20, of Pocomoke, cut his own deal in the case by providing prosecutors with more information about Treherne's role in the crime.
In exchange for information about Treherne, Justice will likely be offered his own plea arrangement to a lesser manslaughter charge in what appears to have become a two-for-one special from prosecutors in order to secure convictions for each of the defendants. The third defendant in the case, Kendall I. Northam, 20, of Pocomoke, pleaded guilty in late September to second-degree murder and first-degree assault for his role in the death of Wojcik and now faces 30 years for the former and 25 years for the latter pending the outcome of a pre-sentence investigation.
A Worcester County grand jury in February handed down indictments against Northam, Treherne and Justice, charging them with first-degree murder and other charges related to the beating death of Wojcik, whose body was found in a wooded area near New Bridge Rd. in Pocomoke.
Around 8:45 a.m. on Jan. 13, Worcester County Sheriff's Deputies and detectives from the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation (WCBI) responded to New Bridge Rd. in Pocomoke for a reported homicide after fox trappers found Wojcik's body in a wooded area. The state medical examiner determined Wojcik died of numerous injuries consistent with blunt force trauma to the head, neck, back and arms.
According to court records, a concerned witness told detectives he allegedly spoke to Northam shortly after the murder was reported to the police and that Northam said himself, Treherne and another man picked up Wojcik and drove her to a wooded area where she was to perform sex acts for money or drugs.
According to court documents, Northam allegedly told the witness a disagreement arose for some reason at which time they beat and kicked Wojcik and left her in the wooded area. Northam also allegedly told the witness the three men retrieved the money they had given the victim by going through her pockets.

The Ionian Basin is one of the more remote and striking regions in the High Sierra. The feature names within the basin – Charybids, Three Sirens and Scylla – take on a Greek Mythology theme making it all the more intriguing. While the John Muir Trail crosses Muir Pass just to the northwest, few seem to venture into this trail-less region characterized by lots of talus and desolate lakes. A glance at the USGS Mount Goddard Quadrangle, within which the Ionian Basin is located, shows a map with essentially no green manifesting a region virtually devoid of vegetation. While I usually prefer some alpine vegetation, this stark landscape is unique and beautiful. The Ionian Basin is framed by the Goddard Divide to the north, the White Divide to the west and the Black Divide to the east. To the south is the rugged and wild Middle Fork of the Kings River. The basin is drained by a pair of deep canyons, Enchanted Gorge and Goddard Creek, separated by aptly-named Ragged Spur. These canyons are among the most remote and least visited spots in the Sierra. Mount Goddard presides over the basin and dominates the region from all angles. Numerous lakes occupy the Ionian basin, some of which are quite large, but only Chasm Lake has been assigned a name. The remainder of the dozen plus lakes are marked only be elevation. Last year I visited the west end of Ionian Basin on the way down from Mount Goddard to Lake 10,232. On this trip I traveled through the eastern portion and climbed Black Giant and Mount Charybdis. Both peaks featured tremendous views of the surrounding region. On Black Giant, I was particularly impressed with the sweeping view of Le Conte Canyon from Helen Lake to the Palisades. On Charbydis, my favorite view was down to Chasm Lake and the numerous lakes of the Ionian Basin. Charybdis is also a beautiful peak in itself including a fine scramble up its northeast ridge. I look forward to further exploration in Ionian Basin including visiting the shores of Chasm Lake and getting a close-up view of the The Three Sirens across Enchanted Gorge from Charybdis. GPS route here.
Annotated view of Le Conte Canyon from Black Giant (click for large version): The route starts with a run through Sabrina Basin, including one of my favorite views in the High Sierra at Sailor Lake with aptly-named Picture Peak towering above. Continue off trail beyond Sailor Lake to Moonlight Lake and then up easy terrain to Echo Lake, situated in a bowl beneath the Clyde Spires, Mount Wallace and Mount Powell. Travel becomes more arduous along a traverse above Echo Lake and the final glacial moraine slopes up to Echo Col. The south of side of Echo Col includes a spectacular view of Lake 11,428 with Black Giant's rugged east face dominating the background. Traverse the west shore of Lake 11,428 and descend slabs to the JMT. Ascend the JMT northbound toward Muir Pass, but leave the trail just past Helen Lake and ascend talus fields toward Black Giant's summit which is rather nondescript from a western perspective. What Black Giant lack's in quality scrambling it makes up with fantastic views in all directions. From Black Giant, descend directly to "Black Giant Pass" which leads into the Ionian Basin. It may be tempting to descend toward Lake 11,828 before reaching the pass, but hidden cliffs likely make this more time consuming than the more circuitous route all the way down to the pass. Charbydis is the most prominent peak as viewed on the descent from Black Giant and the Northeast ridge route is obvious. From Lake 11,828 the ridge starts out as granite slabs but transitions to talus and rock near the top. The rock is loose in spots but the scrambling is straightforward. After a false summit is reached there is a tricky sequence of third class descent moves that from my experience is much easier on the return as an ascent. The actual summit is just a couple minutes beyond this section. From Charbydis retrace steps over Black Giant Pass and either return to Sabrina Basin via Echo Col or make a loop by traversing to Muir Pass and taking the JMT through gorgeous Evolution Basin. Numerous routes exist from Evolution Basin over the crest and back to the Lake Sabrina including Haeckel-Wallace Col, Haeckel Col and Lamarck Col. Lamarck Col is the easiest but also the longest option by a significant margin. On this day I wanted to run alongside Sapphire Lake and Evolution Lake so I selected Lamarck Col. Evolution Basin is spectacular and often the favorite section of the JMT for thru-hikers. The route to Lamarck Col leaves the JMT at the first switchback below Evolution Lake. A use path leads to Darwin Bench and Darwin Canyon where a series of lakes are passed. The ascent up to Lamarck col is arduous but fairly straightforward. However, I do not recommend travel over the pass at night. Unfortunately, I had lost daylight and the ridge upon which Lamarck Col is located is nondescript with sand and rock throughout. After wandering and scrambling the ridge for over an hour I was able to finally locate Lamarck Col. The path on the other side is in the sand and difficult to follow at night resulting in further delay. While it was probably not as important to be on the trail in the upper part, I needed to follow the path in order to make sure that I was on the trail when it cuts over a ridge and begins it's descent to Upper Lamarck Lake. All of this is straightforward in the daylight, but not in the dark! The descent to Lamarck Lakes and North Lake is not a scenic as the prior sections, but it's an efficient way up and over the crest provided there is daylight. The loop is completed by walking the gravel road from North Lake to Hwy 168. The alternative cols – Haeckel and Haeckel-Wallace – entail substantial off-trail travel along with steep terrain with loose rocks and talus fields. I have yet to cross these cols, but look forward to checking them out on my next routes over the crest from Lake Sabrina.
