Memo to the President and Congress: The stock market doesn't care about your shutdown nonsense. But it does care about the debt limit.
Stocks shrugged off the first full day of the historic 2013 government closure. The Dow Industrials added 0.41%, the S&P 500 gained 0.80%, and the Nasdaq composite jumped 1.23%. The stock market virtually aped its historical performance during the last two government closures in 1995 and 1996.
But one day's performance doesn't necessarily make a trend, nor does it mean financial markets will forgivingly tolerate everything the government does.
During 2011, the debt ceiling brouhaha, something happened that we shouldn't soon forget. As politicians on both sides of the aisle were bickering, the S&P 500 (SPY) swiftly declined 16.58% from July 22 to Aug. 8.
That provided a clear message: Financial markets don't like political grandstanding, particularly when it impacts something as meaningful as sovereign debt.
This time around, the U.S. Treasury's borrowing limit is exhausted on Oct. 17, and the Congressional Budget Office estimates the government won't have enough money to pay its bills sometime between Oct. 22 and Oct. 31.
Debt Dilemma
Will Democrats and Republicans be able to agree on a believable plan for tackling national debt?
Basically, Congress is stuck with two choices: increasing the debt limit or defaulting on it, with the former being the best of the worst possible choices.
Congress has raised or suspended previous limits five times under the Obama administration. Raising the debt limit or suspending it has been the modus operandi of Congress on 79 separate occasions since 1960. (After 53 years of practice, they've sure developed a real knack for it.)
On the other hand, a debt default is the worst of worst choices. Not only would it roil the appetite for U.S. debt, but it would trigger another credit downgrade for the nation.
It would likely cause the U.S. government's borrowing costs to sharply rise, and for the broader U.S. economy, that would mean even higher interest rates on top of the 60% year-over-year increase it's already experienced in the yield on 10-year Treasuries.
In other words, besides political suicide, it would be economic suicide.
Regardless of what happens later this month, there's much more to consider – as the Congressional Research Service sums up: "Over the next decade, without major changes in federal policies, persistent and possibly growing deficits, along with the ongoing growth in the debt holdings of government accounts, would increase substantially the amount of federal debt. Unless federal policies change, Congress would repeatedly face demands to raise the debt limit to accommodate the growing federal debt in order to provide the government with the means to meet its financial obligations."
Outstanding total public debt is now $38.76 billion above the legal debt limit, and currently stands at $16.699 trillion.
(The Treasury Department has conveniently itemized this same $38.76 billion as "not subject to the debt limit;" this technique is known as "creative accounting" and anybody who tried to use it in Corporate America would go straight to jail.)
If the U.S. Treasury has already subversively exceeded its legally mandated borrowing limit, as its own financial statement suggests, then the upcoming debt debate is nothing more than an epic dog and pony show.
The next question is this: Will you be a sucker or a profiteer from the bond market's next big move?

Weekly menu
We've never been much into planning weekly menus. But a month ago we decided to give it a serious try. Every Sunday morning after breakfast I look through my cookbooks and browse the net for inspiration. After discussing back and forth with my husband we decide the meals for the coming week. A grocery list is written and then we go grocery shopping.
I have to say that so far we're sticking to the plan pretty well. It's great to only have to go shopping once a week, in some periods we've been planning for only 1-3 days ahead and that was quite stressful and time consuming since we had to shop quite often. To make it more fun we've bought a blackboard and a liquid chalk pen so we can put the menu on display. I want to believe that it actually helps us to stick to the planned menu and it makes you look forward to the meals as it reminds you every time you pass by.
This week we're eating:
Mon: Spicy lamb patties in pita bread with salad and yoghurt.
Tue: Tom Ka Ga with duck ( with roasted duck left overs from Sunday).
Wed: Spicy chorizo potatoes with fried egg.
Thu: Homemade pasta with tomato sauce.
Fri: Take out.
Sat: Chicken skewers with amazing satay sauce.
Sun: Teriyaki Salmon. Polish apple pancakes (racuchy z jablkami) for dessert.

A lakeside apartment designed for a young couple in a residential district along the banks of Lake Ceresio in Lugano, Switzerland is "a harmonious combination of textures and atmospheres" says studio dotdotdot "with all of the furnishings made to measure for the interior design and décor".
"The home measures 170 sq.m. and has been designed with universal appeal based on neutral colors and clean lines. In the large area of the lounge and dining room, wooden features embellish the ambience and hide a small utility washroom. The ad hoc texture of the birch wood adds a touch of continuity to the spaces. The natural hues of the wood shimmer with light flowing from the spacious lakeside terrazzo."
Studio dotdotdot was responsible for the custom furnishings that were designed to reflect the requirements and the style of the residents, a young professional couple.
"The table in the living-room has been created from a single slab of marble supported by wooden legs; the quality finish can be attributed to the attentive skilful work of the master craftsmen. The contrast between the different materials can be seen in the large zinc block in the kitchen, lined with MDF fiber panels."
"One of the common features of the design is the use of full-body colored MDF to line the furniture units – for example, the large wheel-mounted dresser lined in blue and the inside surfaces of the bed/wardrobe unit. The splashes of color in the bedroom interface remotely with the color injected into the living room."
"Simple rows of light illuminate the kitchen, the dining table and the large shelving units along the walls. Another feature of the interiors is the uniformity of the finishes: the flooring in the living area is resin with wood used in the sleeping quarters. The dining table has been completed with Frida chairs, designed by Odoardo Fioravanti for Pedrali and winner of a Compasso d'Oro in 2011."

Time and time again we've found that people are faster in the virtual world than they are in the real one. But can a gamer beat a pro racer while riding shot gun in the car he's driving?
As it turns out, this isn't the first time this was tested. The folks over at Rooster Teeth tried the same test (with much more goofiness and barfing) and came to a different conclusion.
Either way, I know which seat I'd rather be in.

Brief Synopsis
An artist falsely accused of ransacking his own house is proved innocent by the children of the neighborhood.
In the small town of Stoneville, Connecticut, former commercial artist John Hamilton pursues his dream of becoming a successful creative artist, sketching and painting several local children, including Emily and Angel Jones, Buck Ritter, Timmie Moreland and Leroy. Having left behind a hectic position in nearby New York City to realize his ambitions and help his high-strung wife Linda combat her dependence on alcohol, John nevertheless finds himself an outsider with the townspeople. One afternoon, a bored Linda criticizes John for spending all his time with the children and complains about their sedate country life. When John reveals he has refused a job offer with a substantial salary from the Charles Raines agency in New York, Linda is furious and demands he reconsider. John reminds Linda that the stress of their lives in the city drove her to drink, but she remains inconsolable. In spite of their argument, Linda insists that John attend a party given by Brad and Vickie Carey. John reluctantly goes and although uncomfortable with the unpleasant gossip of the other guests, including Brad's wealthy father, Mr. Carey, and Timmie's parents, Gordon and Roz Moreland, he stays out of consideration for Vickie. Just before dinner, a drunken Linda, sporting a black eye, arrives at the Careys where she derides John as a failure and claims that he struck her during an argument over his refusal of the job offer. The guests are startled when, in explanation, John reveals that Linda has long been an alcoholic. As the Hamiltons take their leave, Vickie offers to help if she can. In the car, Linda confesses that she received the bruised eye after falling in the woods. Later at home, Linda admits that she called Raines to set up a meeting with John the next day in New York. When an angry John hesitates, Linda becomes hysterical, declaring that she and Buck's father, policeman Steve Ritter, have been having an affair, prompting the necessity to leave Stoneville. John agrees to meet with Raines on the condition that Linda resumes seeing a psychiatrist. The next day, while John packs for his overnight trip, Linda apologizes and admits that she lied about Ritter. On the train, John runs into Brad, who is also making a business trip, and agrees to meet him later in the city for cocktails. In the city, John refuses Raines's offer, then goes to the offices of Linda's former doctor, Dr. Allistor, but learns he is on a long vacation. Upon returning home the next day, John is shocked to find the house and his studio in shambles and Linda missing. John then finds a typewritten note from Linda declaring she has left him, and telephones Vickie for help. Later, Gordon calls John to inform him that a suitcase with Linda's clothes has been found at the dump. John joins Ritter and the Morelands there, but there is no sign of Linda. Ritter summons Capt. Green, who meets them at the Hamilton house to begin an investigation. Ritter and Green, aware of the revelations made at the Carey party, question John harshly and imply that he is lying about not knowing Linda's whereabouts. When a pair of John's pants is found with holes and stains on them, Green insists on taking them for police analysis and orders John to remain at home. Later that evening, Vickie visits John to relay the rumor spreading throughout town that he killed Linda. The next morning, young Emily delivers John's mail and describes overhearing everyone discussing John's guilt. Among his mail, John is puzzled to find a bill from an out-of-town hardware store for a large amount of quick-dry cement. Suspicious, John searches the house and, near the shed that houses his art studio, finds a trail of cement powder that leads to a wood pile, under which he finds a large hole cemented over. Vickie calls John to warn him that an agitated group of men from town are heading toward his home. The men arrive and begin throwing rocks at the house, calling John a murderer. Frightened, John manages to escape out of the back door just as Ritter arrives and organizes the men into search parties. Hurrying through the woods, John is spotted by Emily, who takes him to a secret cave that she and Angel have discovered. John asks Emily to tell Ritter that she loaned him her bike to ride out of town and after she leaves, Angel surprises John by calling Linda a liar. At John's prompting, Angel reveals coming upon Linda two weeks earlier leaving an abandoned house known by everyone as "the chimney house" with a man Angel could not identify. Linda asked Angel not to tell anyone about seeing her and when the child admired a fancy gold bracelet with letters spelling out Linda's name, the woman promised to get her one. After telling Ritter that John bicycled out of town, Emily rounds up the other children and takes them to the cave, where they all agree to help John. The next day, John asks Buck and Leroy to go with him to search his house for the bracelet Angel described, as he believes Linda's lover and murderer gave it to her. The boys accompany John to his house where each boy distracts the police guard while John finds the bracelet, along with other pieces of jewelry and an audio tape reel. Upon listening to a portion of the tape, John hears Linda addressing a man endearingly and suspects the man's voice belongs to Gordon. Later at the cave, John asks Emily to hide the box with the jewelry and a blank tape reel at the chimney house, then attend Timmie's birthday party, where she is to make sure Gordon sees the bracelet and tell him she found it while playing at the abandoned house. At the party, after Emily loudly shows off the bracelet, attracting the attention of all the adults, Timmie inadvertently mentions John, and Gordon forces his son to reveal John's location. Emily tells Vickie that John wants to meet her at the chimney house, and they hasten to get John. At the chimney house, John, Vickie and Emily wait to see if Gordon will arrive to get the incriminating tape, and all are stunned when Brad appears and takes it. Meanwhile, Ritter stops Buck near the cave and demands he lead them to John. The entire group confronts John at the chimney house but he refuses to surrender until they hear the entire contents of the tape. On the tape Brad declares his love for Linda and that his father made him marry Vickie for her money to save the family business. Ritter then orders those involved to go to headquarters where, in front of Green, John accuses Brad of having help in killing the demanding Linda. Mr. Carey breaks down and admits he killed Linda for the weak, incompetent Brad and framed John. Months later, just after winning an award for his painting of the children, John picnics happily in the park with Vickie and the youngsters.

Arsenal expect new deals for Wilshere, Ox & Ramsey
Arsenal are close to agreeing new long-term contracts with Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Aaron Ramsey, according to ESPN sources.
Arsene Wenger also has funds in place to make two big signings in the January transfer window, while he has not abandoned hope that Theo Walcott, who will be a free agent in the summer, will remain at the club. Arsenal are also confident that Bacary Sagna, whose deal runs until 2014, will agree an extension.
Despite the Capital One Cup exit to Bradford City representing a particularly difficult moment in an already testing season, there is a feeling within the club that any talk of a crisis is wide of the mark.
They are hoping to offer reassurances to the supporters by tying down the futures of England duo Wilshere and Oxlade-Chamberlain and Wales midfielder Ramsey.
The Gunners have been forced to cash in on a number of players in recent years, including Samir Nasri and Robin van Persie, after allowing their contracts to run into their final year and are determined to avoid a repeat. There is a clear concern that Walcott could follow, but talks are still described as "ongoing".
Wilshere, who has two and a half years remaining on his £50,000-a-week deal, is in line for a significant pay-rise that would see his salary move significantly closer to the £90,000 that Lukas Podolski, the club's highest earner, receives.
The source said: "The three youngsters are agreeing long term contracts and that is very positive."

Lance Armstrong is still lying — and he's still despicable too
If you still believe in Lance Armstrong, or you think he was candid in his interview with Oprah Winfrey, I suggest you check out the great piece 60 Minutes aired Sunday night.
The title of the piece: Is Lance Armstrong still lying?
My conclusion: Absolutely. And he's still despicable, too.
60 Minutes has put up a transcript of the piece. Here are a few highlights of Scott Pelley's interview with U.S. Anti-Doping Agency head Travis Tygart, discussing Armstrong's interview with Winfrey:

The world's number one super best automaker from the land of the rising sun issued two recalls today — one here in the land of the free and home of the brave for around 60,700 four-cylinder Highlander SUV's from 2001 through 2003 and 159,100 RAV4's from 2001 and 2002. It seems the "check engine light" (also known as the Malfunction Indicator Light — just one F away from MILF) may "inadvertantly light" due to faulty "program logic in the Engine Control Module (ECM)." Apparently it's faulty because it's telling you something's wrong. Hmm...well, while you some of us sit and attempt to decipher that particular logic loopety-loop, let's just sigh in relief we're not in South Aftrica. That's where the second recall was placed into effect today, for more than 29,000 Corolla and RunX cars built during the 2006 model year after a problem was found in the vehicles' rear axle beam. Apparently this could result in the "front bush mountings splitting open and the front section of the axle beam coming adrift." Hmm, yup, that sounds fairly — well, why don't we let the official spokesperson from Toyota of South Africa finish that particular statement with the last line of the press release — "It could be dangerous." Took the word right out of our mouths.

Top Line: The NHL's Ambien epidemic, must-read Sunday columns, more links
Alex Ovechkin showcased his star power with a hat trick on Saturday afternoon. [Mark Goldman/Icon SMI]
By Allan Muir
A super-sized weekend edition guide to this morning's must-read hockey stories:
• SI.com's own Adrian Dater reports the NHL and NHLPA are studying reports of Ambien abuse among the league's sleep-deprived players. Abuse of the drug was linked to the death of enforcer Derek Boogaard.
• Here are the Sunday columns from Michael Russo, Bruce Garrioch, Mike Zeisberger and Steve Simmons.
• The daughter of Buffalo owner Terry Pegula says the Sabres are really bad. Dad must have been thrilled.
• Brad Richards has lost his swagger in New York, and while there's still time to salvage his season, Larry Brooks wonders if the highly-compensated center might be a candidate for a contract buyout this summer. Seems crazy on the surface, but with the cap going down and Richards not living up to his deal, it's probably been discussed.
• Alex Ovechkin's first hat trick in two years has the Caps hoping the captain is finally finding himself in the team's new system.
• He's big and hairy and making a major impact with the Chicago Blackhawks.
• Mike Eruzione's Miracle On Ice jersey just sold for how much???
• Ryan Suter is starting to find his mojo in Minnesota. He's had plenty of time to work out the kinks: he's played more than 30 minutes four times this season, including Thursday night against Edmonton.
• The Battle of Ontario matched Big Ben (Scrivens) against Extra Large Ben (Bishop), further evidence of the increasing size of NHL goalies.
• Rookie blueliner Dougie Hamilton has hit a rough patch but is focusing on the little things to smooth out his transition to the big league.
• More from Dater, who said Colorado's performance in a loss to the Kings evoked the legendary ineptitude of the Washington Generals. I was surprised to read that Paul Stastny was going into a slump. I hadn't realized he'd actually pulled out of the one that he's been in for the last 18 months.
• There are jokes, there are bad jokes, and then there's this: Three North Dakota students dressed up as members of the KKK for a high school hockey game.
• Lessons learned from Sidney Crosby's concussion woes will color how the Penguins handle Evgeni Malkin, which explains why the team is keeping his status on the down low.
• The perception of him has changed thanks to a gregarious online life, but but Roberto Luongo is still the same man.
• Max Pacioretty was famously bitter after being sidelined by a hard hit from Zdeno Chara. Wonder if Ryan McDonagh will feel the same way after possibly being concussed by MaxPac?
• Lars Eller credits time spent with a sports psychologist for the turnaround in his game.
• The Stars are quietly aligning their game in Dallas. Amazing performance last night from Jamie Benn, who recovered from getting tuned-up by Joe Thornton to lead Dallas to an impressive win over San Jose.
• "I ain't gonna be the one to lose that game," Jordan Staal said ahead of this week's vist by his old Pittsburgh teammates to Carolina.
• Not a bad day for Tomas Tatar, who made twenty bucks at practice, then scored a big goal at night to help Detroit emphatically end a five-game losing streak.
• Awkward tweet of the night:

Walker says he has no problems with GAB
Senate Republican majority leader says board should be reformed
MADISON, Wis. — Republican Gov. Scott Walker says he has no problem with the board that oversees Wisconsin elections.
Senate Republican Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said Monday the GOP is frustrated with how the Government Accountability Board handled recall elections involving a host of GOP officeholders over the last two years. He said the board should be reformed, perhaps by making its members political appointees.
The governor told reporters Wednesday he'd have to look at any legislation that comes to his desk but he's not focused on changing the board. He said he hasn't had any problems with it.
His campaign sued the board a year ago alleging it didn't do enough to detect questionable signatures on recall petitions against him, but Walker said that was a unique situation.

Definitions and Notes
Income Sources
Retirement benefits include Social Security, other public sources such as Railroad Retirement and government employee pensions (military, federal, state, and local), and private pensions and annuities.
Social Security includes retired-worker benefits, dependents' or survivors' benefits, disability benefits, transitionally insured benefits, and special age-72 benefits.
Pensions include private pensions and annuities, government employment pensions, Railroad Retirement, and individual retirement account, Keogh, and 401(k) payments.
Total money income is the sum of all income received by the aged unit before any deductions such as those for taxes, union dues, or Medicare premiums. Total money income does not reflect nonmoney transfers such as food stamps, health benefits, subsidized housing, payments in kind, or fringe benefits from one's employment.
Aggregate income is the sum of the total money income of all aged units in the population of interest. Several charts in this book present the shares of aggregate income attributable to specific sources, such as Social Security.
General Notes
Beginning with data for 2001, the Census Bureau has put all persons aged 80 or older into a single age category on the Current Population Survey public use file. This edition of the chartbook reflects that change.
All years are calendar years.
Nonmarried men and nonmarried women include persons who are separated or married but living apart from their spouse.
Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race.
Percentages may not sum to 100 because of rounding.
Income Sources
- Social Security is a source of income for nearly all of the aged.
- Social Security provides at least half of total income for a majority of beneficiaries.
- Age groups differ in their likelihood of receiving earnings, but not pensions.
- Receipt of income from major sources varies by race and Hispanic origin.
Social Security is a source of income for nearly all of the aged. Nine out of 10 aged units receive Social Security benefits. Asset income is the next most common source of income, received by about three-fifths of the aged. Two-fifths receive retirement benefits other than Social Security, and only one-fifth have earnings. Public assistance is received by 5% and veterans' benefits by only 4%.
Social Security provides at least half of total income for a majority of beneficiaries. Social Security pays benefits to 91% of those aged 65 or older. It is the major source of income (providing 50% or more of total income) for 65% of the beneficiaries. It contributes 90% or more of income for one-third of the beneficiaries and is the only source of income for 20% of them.
Aged groups differ in their likelihood of receiving earnings, but not pensions. Earnings are much more common in the youngest group than in the oldest group—43% compared with 6%. In all age groups, there is little or no difference in the likelihood of having public or private pensions.
Receipt of income from major sources varies by race and Hispanic origin. Among the aged, whites are most likely to receive Social Security and pensions, followed by blacks and Hispanics. Whites are much more likely than blacks or Hispanics to receive income from assets. The groups are about equally as likely to have earnings. Minority aged units are much more likely to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) than are whites.
Receipt of Social Security has become nearly universal. In 1962, 69% of the aged received Social Security benefits; in 2001, 91% of them did. Most of that increase occurred in the 1960s. Receipt of other pension income, which more than doubled from 1962 to 1992, has decreased slightly since then. The proportion of aged units with asset income, which had been about two-thirds since 1980, has dropped since 1990. The proportion with earnings has declined since 1971 and has been between 20% and 22% since 1982. The proportion receiving public assistance has also declined and is now about a third of its 1962 level.
Total Money Income
- The aged are an economically diverse group.
- Income differences by age are associated with differences in marital status.
- Demographic differences are associated with different levels of income.
- Median real income has risen substantially since 1962.
The aged are an economically diverse group. Median income for all aged units is $18,965, but there are wide differences within the total group. Twenty-one percent have an income of under $10,000, and 15% have an income of $50,000 or more.
Receipt of asset income is associated with relatively high median income. The median income of aged units with asset income is more than twice that of those with no asset income ($26,962, compared with $11,932). Aged units with no asset income are concentrated in the lowest income categories—39% have a total income below $10,000, and only 12% have an income of $30,000 or more. Among aged units with asset income, 9% have a total income of less than $10,000, and 45% have an income of $30,000 or more.
Receipt of earnings and retirement benefits also affects total income. About 7% of aged units have no retirement benefits. Of those, 38% have earnings, and their median income is $33,708; 62% have no earnings, and over half of those with no earnings have no income. In the absence of earnings, median income rises markedly with the number of retirement benefits received, from $11,921 with one retirement benefit to $25,896 with two. For units with both earnings and retirement benefits, median income is $34,703 for those with one retirement benefit and $46,359 for those with two.
Income differences by age are associated with differences in marital status. Median income is generally lower in older age groups. The striking differences by age are due in part to the disproportionate number of nonmarried women in older age groups. In every age group, nonmarried women have a lower median income than nonmarried men or married couples. Also, nonmarried women far outnumber the others in the older age groups.

Demographic differences are associated with different levels of median income. Income is highest for married couples, who have a median income about twice that of nonmarried men and more than 2½ times that of nonmarried women. Median income of whites is over 60% greater than that of blacks and almost 80% greater than that of Hispanics.
Median real income has risen substantially over the years. Between 1962 and 2001, the income of the aged increased even when adjusted for inflation. The increase was 93% for married couples and 96% for nonmarried persons. There were disproportionate increases by race. Between 1967 and 2001, the income of whites increased by 98%; that of blacks increased by 74%.
Shares of Aggregate Income
- Social Security provides the largest share of aggregate income for persons 65 or older.
- Shares of income from each source differ greatly by income level.
- Over time, Social Security has provided the largest share of aggregate income for the aged.
Social Security provides the largest share of income for the aged. Aggregate income for the population 65 or older comes largely from four sources. Social Security provides 39%, earnings account for 24%, pensions provide 18%, and asset income accounts for 16%. Only 3% comes from other sources.
Shares of income from each source differ greatly by income level. Aged units are ranked by total money income and divided into five groups of equal size called quintiles. Persons in the lowest quintile have the largest share of income from Social Security benefits (82%), and public assistance provides the second largest share (9%). For those in the highest income quintile, earnings provide the largest share of income (36%), income from assets is the next most important (23%), followed by pensions (20%) and Social Security (19%).
Over time, Social Security has provided the largest share of aggregate income for the aged. In 1962, it provided the largest share followed closely by earnings. In 2001, Social Security continued to provide the largest share but by a much wider margin compared with the other major sources of income. The share from asset income increased for over 20 years but has generally declined since the mid-1980s. The share from earnings has had the opposite pattern—declining until the mid-1980s and generally increasing since then. The share from pensions had doubled by the early 1990s but has since leveled off.
Poverty Status, Based on Family Income
- High proportions of nonmarried and minority aged are poor or near poor.
- The oldest age group (80 or older) has the highest poverty rate.
High proportions of nonmarried and minority aged are poor or near poor. The variations in family income by marital status and by race are reflected in the poverty rates for those subgroups of the aged. Nonmarried persons and minorities have the highest poverty rates, ranging from 14% to 22%. An additional 9% to 11% of nonmarried persons and minorities have incomes between the poverty line and 125% of the poverty line (the near poor).
The oldest age group has the highest poverty rate. In keeping with the lower median income of older age groups, poverty and near poverty rates are generally higher for those who are older. The near poor have income between the poverty line and 125% of the poverty line.

I'm on a Windows PC. When I first installed b4 this morning it behaved the same way - wouldn't retain the shoot folder. When I tried to scroll with the hand icon it would change to another shoot.The problem vanished on it's own. Don't know what if anything I did, except for closing and relaunching the program.Also noticed problems changing the identity plate, and the pulldowns in the View Options do not retain the last selected. I eventually got both set.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=77645\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Thanks for the warnings, guys. Before I install B4 on my PC, I'll be sure to add some extra Eye of Newt and throw salt over my keyboard. Clearly there are evil spirits lurking in B4. Eric[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=77665\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
However, I quickly found that it is nearly impossible for me to use the Library module. 1st, when I select an image in grid mode and open it in loupe mode, it continuously drops back to grid mode all by itself.But what is even more troublesome is the fact that it continuously changes from one shoot folder to another, making it impossible to use the Library module.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=77607\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Paul S - try sorting some files into keywords ... and let us know. Dell P4 3.2 HT 1.5G RAM here. I doubt it has anything to do with the hardware ...[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=77712\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
And, yes it appears that this problem only affects PCs. For you Mac people, I have one question: when you installed B4, did you get a dialog box stating that a "one time" database conversion needed to be made? PC people did, and I'm wondering if this could be part of the problem?

Lisa Federowicz
Class of 2013
Major/Minor: Psychology / Sociology / Statistics
When I was applying to undergraduate institutions, I was instantly drawn to Washington College because of its psychology department. Coming in, I thought I knew everything that I would experience—the small class sizes, the variety of classes offered each semester, and the engaging faculty members who make a conscious effort to form relationships with their students and advisees. While all these aspects are still held in the highest esteem, there is one thing that I never thought I would get to experience, and that is the amazing research opportunities that are available to all of our majors.
I recently attended the Eastern Psychological Association conference in Pittsburgh, PA, where I had the honor of presenting two research projects that I had worked on over the course of the year. The first examined the relationship between frustration and identifying potential enemies, while the second examined the effect of external time pressure on test-taking anxiety and performance. The most rewarding part of the experience was seeing my name at the top of my posters in large print because everyone who read them knew I played a major role in the research. I don't want to be listed as a "contributor" in the bottom right-hand corner in the smallest print imaginable; I want to stand out and have others take notice of my work. To me, there is no school I would rather represent than Washington College. At the conference, I also learned about other students' research, attended various seminars, and presented alongside people with their master's and Ph.D. degrees.
With the consistent support of my professors, I am now planning to go to graduate school for school psychology or school counseling. They are also working with me to ensure that I am well prepared for my Senior Capstone Experience, which will explore the relationship between personality and emoticon usage and/or interpretation. I hope to present my project at the EPA conference next spring in New York City.
If you have any questions about the psychology department, the research opportunities, or the college in general, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am confident in my decision to come to Washington College and I want you to experience all that I have and more.

Graziano da Silva meets Unilever CEO
Support to smallholder farmers focus of discussion with global corporation chief
FAO Director General José Graziano da Silva and Unilever Chief Executive Officer Paul Polman discussed the importance of supporting smallholder famers at a meeting at FAO headquarters today.
"This meeting was an opportunity to discuss global issues that we need to solve, food security being obviously very high in the agenda," the Unilever chief said. "The fact that almost a billion people go to bed hungry every day is unacceptable. This makes FAO a strategic partner for the private sector."
Currently the British-Dutch multinational works directly with over 1.3 million smallholder farmers worldwide. "The issues that you need to solve to employ that many people are unique and different from Tanzania to Vietnam or Mexico, so the way you set it up always starts at the country level," Polman said. "That's when FAO comes in again to help us make a difference where it is needed the most. We need to work together in partnership" he added, referring to the corporation's collaborations with the other UN Rome-based agencies. "The issues that the world faces are simply too big for us to deal with alone", he said.
Graziano da Silva and the CEO also discussed the UN Zero Hunger Challenge as FAO's main framework to eradicate hunger. The FAO chief encouraged Unilever to work with FAO to scale up efforts and turn the vision of an end to hunger into reality through a concrete operational plan.
Graziano da Silva and Polman discussed the upcoming Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), co-organized by FAO and the World Health Organization, which will take place in November 2014. Unilever CEO lauded FAO's work in the field of nutrition and its efforts organizing this meeting.
FAO and Unilever are exploring a global partnership agreement aimed at joining forces in the fight against hunger with a particular emphasis on supporting smallholder farmers.
FAO Director-General and Unilever's CEO shared their views on public-private partnerships and discussed potential collaboration in several areas: food waste, deforestation and sustainable forestry management, and nutrition for food security.
FAO and Unilever are also exploring the development of a joint methodology in Africa and Asia to measure improvement of smallholders livelihoods' linked to Unilever's value chain and both organizations might further collaborate on Unilever's food loss assessment in palm oil supply chains in Malaysia.
Other potential initiatives include data sharing on water use to grow crops and joint plans to reduce water use based on FAO best practices.
FAO's existing fruitful collaborations with Unilever include donations to improve household food security and nutritional status in southern Bangladesh and a project in the same country that links school milk with smallholder dairy development.
The Private Sector Mechanism
The reformed Committee on World Food Security allows for the participation of the private sector through the Private Sector Mechanism, which includes more than 200 private sector companies.
Graziano da Silva informed Polman that the private sector has extensively participated in the Responsible Agriculture Investments (RAI) consultation process suggesting priorities for policy, incentives, and best practices for responsible agricultural investment, and requested Unilever to adhere to the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests.

What is the H-2A Program
The H-2A temporary agricultural program allows agricultural employers who anticipate a shortage of domestic workers to bring nonimmigrant foreign workers to the U.S. to perform agricultural labor or services of a temporary or seasonal nature. Employment is of a seasonal nature where it is tied to a certain time of year by an event or pattern, such as a short annual growing cycle, and requires labor levels above what is necessary for ongoing operations. Employment is of a temporary nature when the employer's need to fill the position with a temporary worker will, except in extraordinary circumstances, last no longer than 1 year.
Program Overview
The H-2A temporary agricultural program establishes a means for agricultural employers who anticipate a shortage of domestic workers to bring nonimmigrant foreign workers to the U.S. to perform agricultural labor or services of a temporary or seasonal nature. Employment is of a seasonal nature where it is tied to a certain time of year by an event or pattern, such as a short annual growing cycle or a specific aspect of a longer cycle, and requires labor levels far above the necessary for ongoing operations. Employment is of a temporary nature where the employer's need to fill the position with a temporary worker will, except in extraordinary circumstances, last no longer than 1 year.
Before the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) can approve an employer's petition for such workers, the employer must file an application with the Department stating that: (1) there are not sufficient able, willing, and qualified United States (U.S.) workers available to perform the temporary and seasonal agricultural employment for which an employer desires to import nonimmigrant foreign workers; and (2) employment of H-2A workers will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers. The statute and Departmental regulations provide for numerous worker protections and employer requirements with respect to wages and working conditions that do not apply to nonagricultural programs. The Department's Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has responsibility for enforcing provisions of worker contracts.
Qualifying Criteria
The following general categories of individuals or organizations may file an application:
An agricultural employer who anticipates a shortage of U.S. workers needed to perform agricultural labor or services of a temporary or seasonal nature may file an application requesting temporary foreign agricultural labor certification. "Temporary or seasonal nature" means employment performed at certain seasons of the year, usually in relation to the production and/or harvesting of a crop, or for a limited time period of less than one year when an employer can show that the need for the foreign worker(s) is truly temporary.
The employer may be an individual, partnership, association, corporation, cooperative, firm, joint stock company, trust, or other organization with legal rights and duties) that:
Has a place of business (physical location) in the U.S. and a means by which it may be contacted for employment;
Has an employer relationship (such as the ability to hire, pay, fire, supervise, or otherwise control the work of employees) with respect to an H-2A worker or a worker in corresponding employment; and
Possesses a valid Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN)
An association of employer producers may file as a sole employer, a joint employer with its members, or as an agent of its members. Associations filing as a joint employer with its employer-members may file master applications on behalf of their members. A farm labor contractor who meets the definition of an employer and is not a fixed-site employer or agricultural association may file an application for temporary foreign workers as an "H-2A Labor Contractor" (H-2ALC).
In circumstances where an authorized agent, whether an individual (e.g., an attorney) or an entity (e.g., an association), the agent may file an application on behalf of an employer along with documentation which demonstrates that the agent is authorized to represent the employer.
Filing Process
What Step Do I Take Before Filing an H-2A Application?
Prior to filing an Application for Temporary Employment Certification, the employer must prepare a job offer on the ETA Form 790 - Agricultural and Food Processing Clearance Order and submit the form and all attachments to the State Workforce Agency (SWA) serving the area of intended employment for intrastate clearance. The following requirements must be met:
The job order must be submitted to the SWA no more than 75 calendar days and no fewer than 60 calendar days before the start date of the job;
The job order must be identified as one that will be used in connection with a future filed Application for Temporary Employment Certification (ETA Form 9142A) with the U.S. Department of Labor; and
The contents of the job order must satisfy the requirements of 20 CFR part 653, subpart F and 20 CFR 655.122.
If the job opportunity is located in more than one State within the same area of intended employment, the employer may submit a job order to any one of the SWAs which has jurisdiction over the anticipated worksites. Where the job order is being placed in connection with a future master application to be filed by an association of agricultural employers as a joint employer, the association may submit a single job order to be placed in the name of the association on behalf of all employers that will be duly named on the future filed ETA Form 9142A.
Upon receipt of the job order, the SWA will review the job order and notify the employer in writing of deficiencies in the job order no later than seven (7) calendar days after it has been submitted. The employer must respond to the SWA within five (5) calendar days after receipt of the SWA notification. The SWA must respond to the employer's response within three (3) calendar days. Once accepted by the SWA, the job order will be active until the end of the recruitment period, which will extend through 50 percent of the period of employment.
Additional filing requirements for H-2A Labor Contractors (H-2ALC)
An application filed by an H-2ALC must be limited to a single area of intended employment in which the fixed-site employer(s) to whom an H-2ALC is furnishing employees will be utilizing the employees. An H-2ALC must include the following information in its application:
Name and location of each fixed-site agricultural business to which the H-2ALC expects to provide H-2A workers, the expected beginning and ending dates when the H-2ALC will be providing the workers to each fixed site, and a description of the crops and activities the workers are expected to perform at such fixed site;
A copy of the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) Farm Labor Contractor (FLC) Certificate of Registration, if required, identifying the specific farm labor contracting activities the H-2ALC is authorized to perform as an FLC;
Proof of its ability to discharge financial obligations under the H-2A program by including a surety bond under original signature. The bond document must clearly identify the issuer, the name, address, phone number, and contact person for the surety, and provide the amount of the bond and any identifying designation used by the surety for the bond;
Copies of the fully-executed work contracts with each fixed-site agricultural business; and
Where the fixed-site agricultural business will provide housing or transportation to the workers, proof that all housing used by workers and owned, operated or secured by the fixed-site agricultural business complies with the standards of the H-2A program and certified by the SWA and all transportation between the worksite and the workers' living quarters that is provided by the fixed-site agricultural business complies with all applicable Federal, State, or local laws and regulation.
Additional filing requirements for agents
- An agent filing an application on behalf of an employer must provide a copy of the agent agreement or other document demonstrating the agent's authority to represent the employer. In addition, the agent must provide a copy of the MSPA FLC Certificate of Registration, if required by MSPA, identifying the specific farm labor contracting activities the agent is authorized to perform.
When Can I File the H-2A Application Package?
What will happen after I submit an H-2A application?
A complete application package must be filed with and received by the ETA Chicago NPC at least forty-five (45) calendar days before the first date on which workers are needed. Employer may not file with the ETA Chicago NPC until after the job order has been submitted to and reviewed by the SWA in accordance with the regulatory timeframe (i.e., no more than 75 days and no less than 60 days before the anticipated start date of work).
The ETA Chicago NPC will review an employer's application promptly. Normally, within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of an application, the ETA Chicago NPC will notify the employer in writing of the decision to accept or reject the employer's application. Copies of the notification will be sent to the employer and, if applicable, the employer's attorney or agent by means normally assuring next day delivery. If the initial application is accepted or amended within the required time frame and complies with the regulations, the ETA Chicago NPC will make a certification determination thirty (30) calendar days before the date on which the workers are needed.
Recruitment of U.S. Workers
After an employer's application is accepted for processing, the Chicago NPC will require the employer to independently engage in specific positive recruitment efforts within a multi-state region of traditional or expected labor supply if the Chicago NPC determines there is a sufficient supply of labor to be recruited.
The employer must place an advertisement on two (2) separate days, which may be consecutive, one of which must be on a Sunday in a newspaper of general circulation serving the area of intended employment and is appropriate to the occupation and the workers likely to apply for the job opportunity. All advertising must contain the following information:
The employer's name (if an association, a statement indicating that the name and location of each member of the association can be obtained from the SWA);
The geographic area of intended employment with enough specificity to apprise applicants of any travel requirements and where applicants will likely have to reside to perform the services or labor;
A description of the job opportunity with sufficient information to apprise U.S. workers of services or labor to be performed and the anticipated start and end dates of employment;
The wage offer(s);
The three-fourths guarantee;
If applicable, a statement that work tools, supplies, and equipment will be provided at no cost to the worker;
A statement that housing will be made available at no cost to the worker;
A statement that transportation and subsistence expenses to the worksite will be provided by the employer or paid by the employer upon completion of 50 percent of the work contract, or earlier, if appropriate;
A statement that the position is temporary and a specification of the total number of job openings the employer intends to fill;
A statement directing applicants to apply for the job opportunity at the nearest office of the SWA.; and
Contact information for the applicable SWA and, if available, the job order number.
The employer must contact, by mail or other effective means, its former U.S. workers employed by the employer in the occupation at the place of employment during the previous year and solicit their return to the job.
The employer must conduct positive recruitment within a multistate region of traditional or expected labor supply where the CO finds that there are a significant number of qualified U.S. workers who, if recruited, would be willing to make themselves available for work at the time and place needed.
The employer must also prepare, sign, and date a written recruitment report. The recruitment report must be submitted on the date specified in the employer's Notice of Acceptance and contain the following information:
Identify the name of each recruitment source;
State the name and contact information of each U.S. worker who applied or was referred to the job opportunity up to the date of the recruitment report, and the disposition of each worker;

Where is Denver's remarkable Tiffany stained-glass window?
Readers, a beautiful piece of Denver's history has seemingly vanished. Is the mystery a 'Whodunnit? or a 'Where-is-it-now?' We follow the trail…
In 1910, an impressive 36-room mansion was constructed by railroad magnate David Moffat. It sat on a hill at the corner of 8th Avenue and Grant Street. It boasted a large reception hall hung with tapestries, an onyx mantel and a custom chandelier of Silesian crystal. But the showpiece of the house was a large stained-glass window made by Tiffany glassmakers. Installed in three panels, it cost $25,000 and sat prominently in the main staircase…
. . .
Flash forward 105 years to peer over the shoulder of Denver Post Senior Editor/Photography and Multimedia, Meghan Lyden, as she prepares for an upcoming Photo Night, a Denver Post public event. To create a slide show of 'Then & Now' images, she selects from the archives several photos of Denver's glorious old mansions; some long gone, some still standing.
She likes the photos of a particular grand old manse, David Moffat's Edwardian pile, whose interior shots show fabulous architectural pieces (readers, see above). Meghan researches the fate of the Moffat mansion: After Moffat died, his widow Frances lived in the mansion alone until 1918 when she sold it to banker James B. Cosgriff, who died before the sale of the mansion was finalized. Cosgriff's widow, Bessie, and their three children made the mansion their home until the 1930s when the home was sold for less than $25,000 to the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association, known as AHEPA. The mansion was preserved and used by AHEPA for business meetings until the 1960s when the owners planned to demolish it and build a modern office building and parking structure in its place.
The preceding decade in Denver had seen the destruction of countless historic homes in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Private citizens and preservation groups mobilized to save the house but the owners pushed forward. Historic Denver, Inc., formed a few years earlier to save the Molly Brown House, tried to purchase the mansion but was unsuccessful. It was demolished in 1972, after an auction to sell the contents of the house.
Imagine Meghan's surprise to find another Post archive photo showing the new office building constructed on the site. Dated 1973, it shows a group of men standing at the entrance of a modern office building, looking up toward a large window above the front door.
It is the three-paneled stained glass window from the staircase of the Moffat mansion!
Thrilled that it has been saved from destruction, Meghan quickly calls up Google Street View to look at the building entrance today.
The apartment building is clearly the same one. The sidelight of the front door looks the same.
But um, something's missing… the Tiffany stained-glass window is not there. Sitting in its place now is a three-panel plain glass window. The door also has lost its etched look. Here is the entrance as it appears today:
Readers, what has happened to it? Can you help? Many of you treasure the city's architectural heritage and will be as curious as we regarding the whereabouts of the three panels of stained glass made by Tiffany in 1910.
Please pass along your tips to firstname.lastname@example.com.
We promise to continue the investigation!

Lulu's A-List BBQ

Everybody loves Lulu, or so it would seem.
For the past eight years, the 9-year-old Brussells griffon has asked her humans, Fred and Jana Bartlit, to do something nice for the animals who might not live such a charmed life as she does. So the Bartlits toss Lulu's Barkin' BBQ, a big shindig that brings 500 people to their Castle Pines home for a Texas-style barbecue prepared by legendary chef Tom Perini of Buffalo Gap, Texas, and headline entertainment, this year by Grammy-nominated recording artist Chris Isaak. Previous years have featured Patti LaBelle, Cyndi Lauper and Dwight Yoakum.
The barbecue is a benefit for the Denver Dumb Friends League, of which Jana Bartlit is a lifetime trustee. As of Monday, the 2009 edition had raised $397,000 — with more yet to be counted. The Bartlits take care of every expense.
It's not just for the love of their pooch that they make such a generous gesture. Fred, an attorney with Bartlit Beck Herman Palenchar & Scott, and Jana firmly believe that humans that abuse animals often go on to do evil things to people. "Studies prove that — and jails are filled with — people who've transgressed against animals and have gone on to maim or kill or abuse fellow human beings. More often than not the victims are little girls and boys," he said. "So this barbecue is about much more than our love for furry little creatures."
Folks arrive at the Bartlit party prepared to have fun, and that they do.
Even the live auction — a low point for so many other events, particularly now that people are keeping a careful eye on discretionary spending — is fun and, well, lively.
Led by John Clatworthy and Jim Odle, this year's bidding included Pamela Hollister's record-breaking $17,500 for the chance to have one of her pets pictured on the cover of the DDFL's 2010 calendar. Hollister is the wife of Great-West Life president/ceo Mitchell Graye.
Brandis Becky Pelletier and her husband, Steve, were high bidders ($4,500) on a black acoustic guitar that Chris Isaak, whose Maltese, Rodney, often tours with him, donated and personally inscribed for them.
But it wasn't just luxury items that attracted bidder attention. Guests also paid to purchase medical equipment for the DDFL's Buddy Center shelter in Douglas County; to subsidize senior citizen pet adoptions at the Buddy Center; and to buy tags, collars and leashes, microchip services and vaccines.
Bob Rohde, who has been president of the Dumb Friends League since 1977, helped the hosts welcome such VIP guests as Cathy Bissell, founder of lostpets.com; Dr. Scott Campbell, chairman/ceo of Banfield Pet Hospitals; Neil Thompson, CEO of Hill's Pet Nutrition; and Dr. Jed Rogers, president of the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association.
Bissell flew in from her home in Michigan to join her Denver friends Dana and Chris Rebhun, and Stacey Renker, whose husband, Greg, is a founding principal of Guthy-Renker Corp., the world's largest direct response television company. They live in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
Patron-level supporters included Kathi Brock and Dr. Pete Sendroy; June Harper; Cathey and Dick Finlon; Howard and Susan Noble; Barbara Schmitt; Randy and Karen Woods; Cynthia and Tim Larkin; and Dick and Marcia Robinson.
We also spotted U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman and his wife, Cynthia; Dianne Vanderlip; Judy Fahrenkrog; Hanne Lichtenfels; Larry King; Jan and Miles Cortez; Rollie Jordan and Michael Dunahay; Bill and Yvonne McCallum; John and Martha Gart; Dr. Jil Hennessey; Jim and Cathy Marquis; Murphy and Carol Huston; and Mark and Pat "Gabby Gourmet" Miller.

This week, President Obama is making another one of his fundraising swings through Southern California. He'll visit different events and fundraisers at various fabulous homes and locations, and cause big traffic jams along the way.
But where the president really belongs on this trip is in jail.
Los Angeles County Jail, to be precise.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The president arrives in the state just after releasing a budget that takes a hard slap at California prisons and jails. One in every eight of California prison inmates are undocumented immigrants, and the number is thought to be higher in county jails. But Obama's budget reduces a program that assists the state with the costs of incarcerating the undocumented by more than half. Those are costs that will have to be born by cash-strapped California and its counties.
The president, if he were wise, might check on the potential impact of those cuts with a visit to the jail in the largest county in the country. He also might get a sense of the new pressures on the jail that are a result of federal court mandates that has forced the release of state prisoners into the jails. He also might get a whiff of an ongoing federal investigation into the treatment of people in the jail by sheriff's deputies.
There's a lot that would draw a federal chief executive to the jail. But the current schedule leaves little time for more than fundraising and a quick stop by the VA Greater Los Angeles Health Care Center. A jail visit wouldn't be easy to swing, but it would demonstrate that the president is paying attention to California's problems, and his government's own role in them.

June 30, 2019, 8:20 pmJared DudleySF, Brooklyn Nets
Jared Dudley is interested in re-signing with the Nets, per Michael Scotto of The Athletic.
We're betting that a lot of players are interested in signing with the Nets after today. Dudley played a surprisingly large role for the team last season and was a favorite of coaches and teammates, and he became a fan favorite after his battles with Ben Simmons on and off the court during the postseason. He's a solid veteran guy to keep around on what's likely to be a minimum deal, so it would not be surprising if Dudley's wish was granted.

Kemba Walker has been rehabbing his left knee while in quarantine, and says that it's "doing well."
Walker actually played in the Celtics' last three games before the season was shut down but has missed a total of eight games this season (plus one in preseason) due to left knee soreness. It's clearly a chronic issue at this point, and fantasy GMs just have to hope that this lengthy layoff will help Walker get back to full strength if and when the season resumes.

Meyers Leonard is still rehabbing his sprained left ankle and estimates that his recovery is at about 90%.
Leonard shed his walking boot at the end of February but it's been slow going, as he's still not recovered despite getting hurt on February 3. The NBA hiatus might've saved Leonard's season, but even when healthy there won't be any fantasy appeal here despite some strong runs earlier in the campaign.

The Nuggets have announced that the person who tested positive for COVID-19 is now symptom-free.
The team never said who tested positive, only that it was a member of the organization. The Nuggets have completed their 14-day quarantine, so hopefully all involved are able to remain healthy moving forward.

Romello White declared for the 2020 NBA Draft on Wednesday.
White is "keeping his options available" despite declaring for the draft. It is probably a good idea considering he isn't a lock to be drafted. The junior power forward averaged 10.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks for Arizona State this past season. He isn't likely to be on the fantasy radar even if he does earn a roster spot in the NBA.

The four players from the Nets who tested positive for COVID-19 are symptom free after passing a 14-day protocol but are still self-isolating, according to Greg Logan of Newsday.
Logan went on to say that the entire traveling party for the Nets are healthy at the moment. This is a good sign to see players and staff recovering from the virus without any new cases reported.

March 31, 2020, 9:05 pmMarcus SmartPG, Boston Celtics
Marcus Smart plans to donate his blood plasma to the National COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma Project for research on how the virus affects the blood of those infected or have been infected already, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
This marks an interesting end (fingers-crossed) to Smart's coronavirus infection and subsequent quarantine. Only five NBA players have received confirmed positive tests for COVID-19 but the NBA obviously isn't taking any chances during this global pandemic. With speed being medical professionals' biggest pressure with regards to a vaccine, Smart really stepped up to the plate. Hopefully other public figures who have recovered from the virus will follow his lead in donating necessary items for research. This also doesn't hurt Smart's public image, which has been known to fluctuate dramatically during his college and professional career.

The Chinese government has stopped the CBA (Chinese Basketball Association) from resuming their season, nearly two months after halting their season due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19.
The CBA does not currently have a players' union, so these types of sweeping decisions can happen more quickly than in the United States, where the players are unionized. While this is not great news for basketball players and fans in China, it also has global ramifications for sports across the world looking for a timeline. Everyone is wondering when it will be safe to resume or begin athletic events. Executives are trying to handle the logistics of said decisions, which is much more of a slippery slope. It seems increasingly obvious that the NBA is nowhere near a return to action and currently the situation is still completely out of commissioner Adam Silver's hands.

March 31, 2020, 8:18 pmLeBron JamesSF, Los Angeles Lakers
The entire Lakers roster has been deemed symptom-free of the coronavirus after completing a 14-day home isolation that was prescribed by team doctors, according to Lakers reporter Mike Trudell.
Finally, some good news for the NBA. The Lakers were isolated two weeks ago and they all maintained quarantine in their homes. The league has yet to announce plans as far as next steps for potentially resuming the 2019-20 season, but this is a good start. More teams should complete quarantine periods in the coming weeks. It doesn't help that professional basketball's return in China was halted abruptly after they had planned on making a return earlier this week. This is obviously a very fluid situation and NBA commissioner Adam Silver must bide his time before making concrete decisions. Stay tuned.

According to Sarah K. Spencer of the Atlantic Journal Constitution, Clint Capela had been progressing towards participating in half-court workouts prior to the season being suspended.
There was some uncertainty surrounding Capela's potential return this season, but now he will have a much better shot at getting a few games below his belt before the conclusion of the season. If Capela does indeed find himself on the court for a few games, we'd have to imagine that he will be on a strict minutes limit as Lloyd Pierce alluded to last month.

Cameron Johnson is fully cleared from mononucleosis that he has been battling for the past few weeks.
Johnson missed the final three games before the league was suspended due to mononucleosis, but will be ready to go when the season starts up again. Johnson was looking at an expanded role with Kelly Oubre Jr. injured, but there is now a chance that Oubre Jr. will be ready a situation to monitor when the season gets ready to resume.
