Watch Jennifer Lawrence take over airplane's loudspeaker to root for the Eagles
Attention, passengers: Jennifer Lawrence has a hilarious message about the Super Bowl.
In video captured on a commercial flight Sunday, the actress takes over the galley of an airplane to make an impassioned speech to the people aboard, many of whom — specifically those in first class, where Lawrence is presumably sitting — do not look the slightest bit amused.
"Everybody, this is not the pilot speaking. This is Jennifer Lawrence," says the Oscar winner, speaking into a flight attendant's device like she's in Bridesmaids or something. "It's Feb. 4. It's Super Bowl Sunday. We all know what that means. Can I please just get a 'Fly Eagles fly'?"
The Kentucky native — who now must be thrilled that the Philadelphia Eagles reigned supreme over the New England Patriots in Sunday's big game — then begins chanting. Surprisingly, though, one of the most famous women in the world only gets moderately enthusiastic responses from her fellow passengers. Perhaps it was an early morning flight?
The best part of this is not Lawrence discussing the "colonial woman on the plane" — where is she?! — but rather the flight attendant who calls Lawrence "ma'am" and tries to stop this scene from spiraling further out of control. Sadly, the video ends there, leaving us hoping she'll someday explain what we missed. Hey, late-night producers — that sounds like a fun interview topic!
Watch the moment unfold in the video above.

Background: The latest round of Peace Talks begin this week in Paris, bringing with them renewed hope of an end to war in Indo-China.
But to the people of South Vietnam, Washington and Paris are far away -- not only geographically, but also in terms of peace. In 1972 when the world spoke of the war "running down" and of peace being "at hand", South Vietnamese military forces suffered their greatest casualties on record. Apart from the countless civilians killed and wounded, the armed forces officially lost 27,000 killed in action and several times that figure wounded and missing.
As the talk of peace increases, North Vietnamese forces around Saigon and especially in the Mekong Delta south of the city, increase their efforts to obtain as much territory as possible before a ceasefire is declared.
In addition to their military troubles, the South Vietnamese -- in common with the rest of Indo-China -- have just suffered from a severe drought that has left them with the poorest rice harvest for many years.
Despite these difficulties, the army and people of South Vietnam appear to be keeping up their morale. Bulletins from Radio Saigon are still guarded about the prospects for peace, but soldiers on patrol along the highways often gaily call out "Hoa-Binh" (pron. hwah-bin) or "peace" and make the Vee-fingered peace sign. The drought has forced food prices up, but food still appears to be plentiful. Numerous flocks of ducks swim amongst the paddy-fields, and duck often figures on Saigon menus.
SYNOPSIS: While the world focuses its attention on the latest round of peace talks in Paris, the South Vietnamese themselves seem far removed from the activities of Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho. Troops patrolling the Mekong Delta south of Saigon shout "Peace" as they drive past, while Radio Saigon bulletins suggest that the war will go on.
For farmers in the Delta, the problem of food is the main preoccupation. Roaming Vietcong are not their only enemy -- they have also suffered from a severe drought, and the poorest crops for many years. But rice is not the only product of the paddy-fields.....
Ducks are plentiful, and often appear in the market-places and menus of Saigon and the surrounding Delta towns. Despite the drought, food-supplies appear to be abundant, although expensive. For the time being, the problem of what to have for the next meal is more important then Washington or Paris.....
Fish are another useful protein supplement from the numerous streams and pools of the Delta...
But developments in Paris are still closely watched, and the chances of peace discussed in every market-place. Since the last-minute failure of the talks in December, however, the South Vietnamese are cautious of making optimistic plans for the future....

The finely sculpted bronze Joe Lapchick Character Award was brought to life in three-dimensional form by CustomArtSculptures.com and boasts an extreme detail honoring and immortalizing one of the founding fathers of basketball. The 2008 inaugural Joe Lapchick Character Award trophy was established by The Joe Lapchick Committee which includes: Anthony Adorante, Gus Alfieri, Nick D'Agostino Jr., Mel Davis, Ken Liberman, Bob Livingston, George Raveling, Brian Russo, Dan Sacco, Michael Sacco, and John Warren. The Lapchick Award Committee commissioned Dreamcatcher Global and CustomArtSculptures.com to design and create the custom awards trophy in the likeness of Joe Lapchick for their first of many annual events. This award is unique in that it represents the first trophy that gives recognition and brings long-due attention to people of character, leadership and social responsibility in college basketball. Coach Joe Lapchick is recognized posthumously for all of his lifetime achievements and devotion to basketball and for the positive influence he had on the players he coached and fellow coaches both at the college level and in the NBA. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) also supports the award in honor of outstanding coaches who have provided honesty, integrity, and achievement throughout their college basketball coaching career.
Joseph Bohomiel Lapchick was born at the turn of the century (April 12, 1900) in Yonkers, New York to Czech immigrants. As a boy in Yonkers, New York, he helped his struggling family make ends meet by scrounging for coal near the railroad tracks. At age 12 the youngster started playing basketball around his neighborhood, wearing a uniform his mother had made for him. Like many youngsters of the era, he stopped going to school after the eighth grade. While working as a golf caddy and in a factory, the 15-year-old found he could make $5 to $10 per night playing for local basketball teams. At age 19 he was suiting up for four different touring teams and pocketing up to $100 per game. "I played one manager against the other," Lapchick said years later. "I bargained with the managers for every game. When there was a clash of dates, I took the best offer."
As a ten year-old in Yonkers a young Lapchick was introduced to a new game that had worked its way down from New England: basketball. Lapchick picked up a basketball for the first time just two decades after the game was invented. It wasn't more than 4 years later that he dropped out of High School in 1914, which was rather common in that era, and soon thereafter pursued basketball professionally. At a staggering 6'5", he was a valuable commodity at a time when a jump ball was held after every basket.
Joe Lapchick even surprisingly played basketball with the likes of Babe Ruth, in an era of bygone protective knee padding and basketballs that were "oversized lopsided and blackened by dirt and old age," said Lapchick in his own words, balls that wouldn't last for an entire game. He was the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of his time. When the height of an average professional basketball player might have been 5'8" or 5'9". At a time when team captains often agreed to unlimited personal fouls, so fans could see the stars play [thus, the necessity of knee pads]. At halftime in the dressing room, under the Madison Square Garden main floor, it was not uncommon for Lapchick to drink a Coke and smoke Lucky Strikes cigarettes while his players bummed smokes off of him. There was no game clock or electronic scoreboard yet. Some old basketball gyms still used a chalkboard and a scorer who rewrote numbers in chalk asthey were tallied. The official scorer at mid court was also often the timekeeper as well. It was his duty to fire a starter pistol at halftime and at end of the game.
A pioneer with the barnstorming Original Celtics out of New York. A basketball team that was actually the second incarnation of the New York Celtics who had disbanded during World War I. The Celtics joined the American Basketball League (ABL) in 1926 and won two straight titles. So dominant were Lapchick, Nat Holman, and the rest of the Celtics that the league insisted the team disband. It did, in 1928. Lapchick and two other former Celtics thenjoined the ClevelandRosenblums, a team owned by a department store magnate who had named the team after himself. With Lapchick starring at the pivot, the "Rosenblum Celtics" basketball team won two straight ABL titles. However, the Great Depression forced an end to the ABL in 1931.
Conditions were spartan in those times. When a large cut on Lapchick's wrist became infected with uniform dye, a teammate rubbed off the scab with a towel and doused the wound with whiskey. Luckily for Lapchick, the treatment worked.
First in many ways, Lapchick had the first sneaker contract with a company that eventually become known as Footlocker and he represented them throughout his life. In his time, Footlocker was known as the Kinney Shoe Corporation until 1974 when they formally adopted the Footlocker name. In the photo you can see canvas a pair of old basketball shoes with the name of Joe Lapchick on the ankle patch.

If you want to make chicken tenders for your dog, the best way to do this is by dehydrating the meat. You can slice the tenders into thin strips and lay them out evenly on a dehydrator rack and dehydrate the meat for 6 hours. Additionally, you can also dehydrate them on a pan in the oven at 275 degrees.
The chicken tender is one of the tastiest parts of the fowl. Most dogs love the meaty taste, which is why pet owners want to know how they should feed it to their furry friends. If you want to learn more about how to make chicken tenders for dogs, you've come to the right page. Keep reading for more information.

How do you make chicken tenders to feed to dogs?
If your dog enjoys chicken, you may want to cook them chicken tenders for a treat. The preferred way to make chicken tenders is by dehydrating the meat. However, it's not the only way you can make them.
Chicken tenders can also be baked or roasted in the oven, cooked in the microwave, pressure cooker, boiled, poached, or steamed. As long as the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 160 F, it is good to feed your dog.
How do you prepare chicken tenders for dogs?
When you think of chicken tenders, you may think of crispy-coated strips that are great for dipping. Chicken tenders for dogs should never be prepared with seasoning, breadcrumbs, or any other additives because they could make the dog sick.
Preparing chicken tenders for dogs is very simple because they only need the meat. All you need to do to prepare the chicken is slice it into appropriate-sized strips.
How Long to Boil Chicken Tenders for Dogs
Dogs should eat cooked chicken, and boiled chicken is a good way to prepare it. Chicken tenders should be boiled for 12 minutes then checked to make sure they are done. If they are not, continue boiling for another minute or two. After boiling, the chicken can be chopped into small pieces or shredded and served to the dog.
Why should you dehydrate chicken tenders for dogs?
Dehydrating the chicken tenders for dogs is one of the best options. All of the nutrients get locked in when the meat is dehydrated and none of them get broken down or destroyed like they do when the chicken is baked or fried.

Dehydrated chicken tenders also hold in more nutrients. The dog will get the full protein intake, as well as calcium, zinc, amino acids, and other great nutrients.
Why are dehydrated chicken tenders better for dogs?
Dehydrated chicken tenders are very beneficial for the dog's oral health. The dehydrated meat is a tougher texture which requires a lot more chewing from the dog.
The more the dog chews on the dehydrated chicken tender, the more the treat cleans their teeth. Any plaque or tartar that has built up will start to break off and the dog will have cleaner teeth and gums.
What are chicken tenders?
For humans, a chicken tender is typically served deep-fried or baked with a crispy seasoned coating. They are a popular fast food item, which makes many people question if they are suitable for dogs.
The chicken tender is actually a part of the chicken's breast. It is the muscle that is found on the side of the breast bone underneath the meat.
Can dogs eat chicken tenders for a meal?
If you boil, poach, steam, or bake the chicken tender meat you can feed it to your dog as part of their meal. However, the chicken meat can't be the only thing that's in their dish.
You can mix the chicken tender meat with the dog's kibble, or you can mix the chicken meat with white or brown rice. When mixing the chicken with rice, make sure you portion out a ratio of 1 part chicken tenders with 2 parts rice. You can also mix in eggs, sweet potato, kale, peas, or carrots.
Why should you make chicken tenders for your dog?
Dogs love to run and play, and they need a lot of energy to keep up. Chicken tender meat is a great source of protein and low in fat, providing the dogs with a healthy energy source. Chicken breasts and the tender below it are the best parts of the chicken to feed your dog because there is less fat.
Chicken tender meat is also rich in omega-6 fatty acids. This helps the dog maintain healthy skin and a full shiny coat. They will be looking and feeling their best.

Can you feed a dog packaged chicken tenders?
Chicken tenders that you buy in the frozen section at the grocery store are a delicious treat for humans, but they shouldn't be shared with our pets. Packaged chicken tenders typically contain seasonings and other ingredients that aren't safe for a dog to digest.
When you buy chicken tenders in the frozen section, they are made to satisfy a human's taste buds. They likely have a coating and seasonings that are safe for humans but toxic for dogs.
Can you feed raw chicken tender meat to dogs?
When you feed chicken tenders to a dog, they should always be cooked to 160 F. Chicken contains a lot of foodborne bacteria that get destroyed during the cooking process.
If the chicken tenders are served raw, there is a high risk of salmonella. This could lead to a bacteria infection, especially if the dog isn't used to raw meat.
How do you store dehydrated chicken tenders for dogs?
Dehydrated chicken tenders will stay good in storage for up to 2 weeks. Always keep the chicken tenders in an airtight container, jar, or sealed bag. They are best kept in a cupboard or pantry where they will stay cool and dry.
Never store dehydrated chicken tenders in the fridge because moisture will build up and cause the tenders to mold. If you need to keep the tenders for longer than 2 weeks, you can store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
How often can dogs eat chicken tenders?
Chicken meat is safe for dogs to consume daily because it is a lean protein. Always consult the dog's veterinarian for more information on the best serving size for your dog's dietary needs. This will ensure they get all their nutritional requirements based on their size and health conditions.

I love science fiction, always have, always will. But it's the kind of science fiction that I love which I think is an important distinction. I've always subscribed to the idea that sci-fi comes in two varieties: classic and commercial. The classical kind is the traditional variety that people take seriously, like H.G Wells, Frank Herbert, Isaac Asimov, Carl Sagan, William Gibson, Neil Stephenson, and Alastair Reynolds (These are just some of my favorites, they are by no means the only authors who were great at establishing sci-fi as a serious literary form.)
Commercial sci-fi, by contrast, is your basic stuff that owes much to the original masters but really didn't follow in their footsteps. Star Wars, Star Trek, Star Gate, et al (awful lot of stars in there!) are all examples of this. This isn't to say I didn't like these shows, I grew up on Star Wars after all! But to be honest, I never really found them particularly inspiring. In all honesty, when it came to my own writing, they were more an example of what NOT to do.
Also, credit must be given to a friend of mine who once said that science fiction really isn't a genre at all, it is a vehicle. A vehicle who's purpose is to deliver a message. What that message is and how it is conveyed is what I think differentiates classic sci-fi from the commercial type. Without a doubt, Frank Herbert's Dune was the most inspirational work for me in that it delivered so much, and did so in a way that was both profound yet subtle. He didn't have muppet-style aliens who's sole purpose was to reflect on humanity, he wasn't preachy, his characters weren't one-dimensional and his plots were never quick and tidy. Characters were complex, his commentary was challenging, and his universe was rich and developed.
He was one of the greats that got me into writing sci-fi. Originally, back when I was still in school, I thought it might be cool to write a science fiction series. I always loved drawing futuristic worlds and sci-fi stuff, but mainly I wanted to create my own universe. After reading his series, it occurred to me that I could turn my own ideas into short stories or even a full length novel. I've crafted one full-length, called Legacies, and several shorts that are either set in the same universe or are completely independent. Since that time, I've also delved into some work that is a bit more contemporary, set in today's world but with a sci-fi feel and spin.
The topics I like to cover are human evolution, extinction, exploration, colonization, society, technology, the cutting edge of things, and yes, even extra-terrestrials. The longer I am here, the more I hope to post and share. Hope y'all like what I have to offer! Enjoy!

Valkyrie applies for ETF that will be linked to BTC mining companies on NASDAQ and will invest 80% of the net assets in securities of companies that derive about 50% of their revenue or profits from mining so let's read more in today's latest BTC news.
Crypto asset manager Valkyrie applies for ETF with the US SEC to trade them with exposure to BTC mining companies on the Nasdaq stock market. In the SEC filing, Valkyrie said that it's BTC miners ETF will not invest in bitcoin but about 80% of the net assets would offer exposure to the crypto assets via the securities of companies that derive 50% of their revenue or profits from BTC mining or that provide hardware or software related to mining. The filing added that Valkyrie will invest up to 20% of the ETF's net assets in companies that hold huge chunks of their net assets in BTC.
Valkyrie launched a BTC strategy ETF in 2021 which offered indirect exposure to BTC with cash-settled futures contracts following the SEC approval for a similar ETF from ProShares. At the time of publication, the shares of the fund traded on NASDAQ for $14.93 after having dropped more than 40% since opening in October. In 2021, the SEC approved investment vehicles connected to BTC derivatives for the first time but it hasn't given the green light to any BTC spot exchange-traded fund in the US. The Valkyrie BTC miners ETF is similar to the Digital Asset Mining ETF proposed by VanEck back in 2021 which aimed to invest 80% of the total assets in securities from mining companies to reach a decision on the fund or to extend the deadline.
While most crypto ETF applications are under consideration in the US, Canadian regulators approved ETFs with more exposure to crypto from Fidelity, Evolve Fund Group, and Purpose Investmetns. In the House of Representative committee hearing, former Acting Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks said the US was behind other countries in approving these exchange-traded funds.
As recently reported, The SEC rejected an application for a spot market Bitcoin ETF from First Trust Advisors and SkyBridge. First Advisors and SkyBridge Capital's application was filed in May 2021 and the two investment firms teamed up to try and get the ETF approved by the regulator.

However, the SEC said the ETFs didn't meet the requirement that the rules of national securities exchange are designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices and to also protect the investors and the public interest.

When the current song has ended you'll see it here
I'm sorry to say this, but it's a reality: fall has come to the Northwest. Do what you need to do, let out a long sigh, shed a few tears, or put on something really moody, like this brand new and wonderfully epic, OK Computer-esque track from composer Andrew Judah.
Along with fall comes a slew of new albums being released and bands on tour, so cheer up, there's something good to look forward to! Speaking of, Andrew Judah's been hard at work all year on his second release, entitled Monster, which comes out today! (You can download it here.)
You may not be that familiar with Andrew, but you've almost certainly heard his music before, as he has lent his moody soundscapes to a few Lincoln car commercials, including the latest one featuring a philosophizing Rust Cohle––oops, I mean Matthew McConaughey––driving at night.
Monster is an intimate album of epic proportions, featuring stunning compositions that are intricately produced without sacrificing the songwriter's compelling, raw passion. Andrew isn't afraid of taking chances, and this track is a perfect example his impressive arsenal of skills as both producer and songwriter. Give it a listen and don't forget to check out the new album!

Four counseling and psychology program scholarships for City Year alumni
From the Classroom to Counseling
Though City Year AmeriCorps members serve full-time in schools, a little over 50% of alumni start careers outside the education sector after their service year. Research-based social-emotional training is a part of the City Year service experience and a large number of members come to City Year with a bachelor's degree in psychology. As a result, many of our alumni go on to careers in counseling. Throughout the year, AmeriCorps members gain a clear understanding of what it takes to be compassionate and empathetic, while gaining insights into the external factors that may influence student behavior.
"During my service year, I learned the importance of building bridges for students to caring adults who could help them," says Emily Alexander, a City Year San Antonio alumna. "Though I joined City Year because I had an interest in teaching, I learned that my skills and interests were more in line with pursuing a career in counseling."
If you're like Emily and find that your interest in ensuring students feel emotionally supported and validated drives your service, you may want to consider pursuing a career in counseling or psychology. City Year has more 20 University Partnerships that offer alumni scholarships for graduate level programs in the mental health field. Here's a look at four of those partnerships:

Landscapes of Lifelong Learning Policies across Europe
Comparative Case Studies
Benasso, Sebastiano (editor)
Bouillet, Dejana (editor)
Neves, Tiago (editor)
Parreira do Amaral, Marcelo (editor)
This open access book explores different landscapes of Lifelong Learning policies (LLP), producing case-based examinations of their institutional, discursive, and relational dimensions. Across Europe, young people develop their life courses amidst diverse living conditions and are confronted with a variety of institutional and structural arrangements that impact on their opportunities in education and labour. Considering the relevance of LLP in shaping those opportunities, the chapters draw from multi-level, mixed-methods research and offer original insights on the interplay of discourses and governance patterns in the processes of policy-making and deliverance. The book yields noteworthy insights into the widely differing realities across the European landscape, and also into the diverging ways young people deal with and actively participate in LLP.

Project Management Software Innovates Business Organization
Many company leaders are aware that technology exists which can provide better productivity for their staff and their company. Owners are often unsure of how the different functions of these programs will really benefit them, but although some features may seem similar, they address different parts of running a business.

One of the most common complaints about Microsoft Word is its insistence on behaving like it is smarter than we are. Even more experienced Word users often just live with Word's automatic pranks including making mysterious changes, inserting text you didn't ask for, and taking control of your formatting, because we don't know how to disable them. It's not always the features themselves that are annoying it's just not knowing how to control them. What are the best ways to stop annoying automation in Microsoft Word and to grab control of your work?The Many Flavors of Microsoft Office 2013 and Office 365: Understanding Your Options

Now Microsoft Office is more connected to the cloud than ever before. And your choices for how you purchase and interact with Microsoft Office are more expanded and yes, more confusing than ever before.

But Nunieh, disputed the allegations, asserting that she served in Kwara State.
She also alleged that the Minister Akpabio, always scheduled official meetings for private residences ' because he had a plan B', noting that one time he smacked the minister in the face for sexually harassing her in his Apo, Abuja home.
Nunieh also said she did not respond to most memos from Akpabio when she was NDDC boss because they were frivolous and written by people under the minister who did not have such rights to carry out official communication with her office.
She also insisted that she was pressured by the minister to take an oath of allegiance, which she declined, thereby further souring her official relationship with the minister.
Joining the fray on Tuesday, the Rivers State Government, through Paulinus Nsirim, its Commissioner for Information and Communications warned that those involved in the ongoing investigations in the NDDC must ensure that Joi Nunieh does not suffer any harm in the course of their undertakings.
"We wish to state categorically that the Rivers State Government will never support any action that will prevent or jeopardize the laudable intentions of His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, to positively reposition the NDDC and fulfill the yearnings and aspirations of the people of the Niger Delta.
"The State owes it as a duty to protect her citizens from danger no matter their political affiliation and we cannot fold our hands and watch anyone harm her or indeed any Rivers citizen.
"We advise those involved in the present altercations in the NDDC to thread with caution in their actions and utterances.

In the latest Manufacturers' Outlook Survey, 93.5 percent of respondents feel positive about their own company's outlook, the second-highest reading in the survey's 20-year history following the all-time high of 94.6 percent in December. Optimism has been at historically high levels over the past five quarters, averaging 92.1 percent. Sentiment is sharply higher than two years ago, with an average of 64.3 percent in 2016. Manufacturers continue to be upbeat following Washington's passage of the comprehensive tax cuts package and its less burdensome approach toward regulatory policy—pro-growth stances that will help manufacturers compete in the global marketplace. (For more on this, see my testimony last week to the Joint Economic Committee.)
Beyond the headline numbers, the underlying data also reflect record-breaking strength in many areas. This includes sales, which are expected to grow 5.7 percent over the next 12 months, the fastest pace since the fourth quarter of 1997. In addition, the rates of growth for capital spending (3.9 percent), employment (2.9 percent) and inventories (1.7 percent) over the year are at new all-time highs in the first quarter survey. With ever-tighter labor markets, wages for full-time employees are predicted to rise 2.6 percent over the next 12 months, the highest rate in 17 years. For the second straight survey, the inability to attract and retain a quality workforce registered as the top business challenge for manufacturers, cited by 74.7 percent of respondents.
Those manufacturers completing the survey predict 3.0 percent growth in product prices over the next 12 months, jumping from a 1.9 percent gain in December. This was the fastest growth rate for prices since the second quarter of 2011, or in nearly seven years. The recent acceleration in prices is consistent with other data, including the latest consumer and producer price reports, even as overall cost pressures remain modest for now. Moreover, 64.6 percent of manufacturers cited rising raw material costs as a primary challenge in the NAM's survey, making it third on the list after workforce issues and health care costs. On the latter, respondents anticipate 7.7 percent growth in health insurance premiums over the next 12 months.
Meanwhile, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) reported that the Small Business Optimism Index pulled back in March from February's level, which was the second-highest reading since July 1983. The headline index declined from 107.6 in February to 104.7 in March. Even with some easing in the latest survey, the robust data seen for much of the past year would suggest a healthy outlook overall in the economy. Along those lines, the labor market remained strong. The percentage of respondents with positions they are unable to fill right now edged up from 34 percent to 35 percent. In addition, respondents cited the quality of labor as the top "single most important problem" (21 percent), illustrating the tightness of the job market for small businesses. Taxes fell to the lowest level since 1982 (13 percent), according to the NFIB, in the aftermath of tax reform, with regulatory burdens being second on the list in March (14 percent).
Regarding the labor market, hiring in the manufacturing sector rose in February to its best reading since November 2007. The manufacturing sector hired 380,000 workers in February, reflecting stronger activity for both durable and nondurable goods businesses. At the same time, total separations—including layoffs, quits and retirements—rose to 352,000. As a result, net hiring (or hires minus separations) increased to 28,000 in February. More importantly, net hiring has averaged a rather healthy 16,417 over the past 12 months, with a robust average of 25,142 over the past seven months. At the same time, there were 426,000 manufacturing job openings in February, the strongest reading since September (445,000), which was a pace not seen since January 2001.
This week there will be new data on industrial production, which it is hoped will show that strong gains made over the past year are continuing. In February, manufacturing production jumped 1.2 percent, with 2.5 percent growth over the past 12 months, the best year-over-year rate since July 2014. Similarly, manufacturing capacity soared to 76.9 in February, a reading not seen since April 2008. There will also be updated assessments of activity in the New York and Philadelphia Federal Reserve Banks' districts, which are anticipated to reflect continued progress and an upbeat outlook for the next six months. Other highlights this week include the latest figures for GDP by industry, housing starts and permits, leading indicators, retail sales and state employment.

- XN Sports NFL Mock Draft 4.0 - Apr 10, 2015
- 6 Teams That Need To Win The 2015 NFL Draft - Apr 7, 2015
- Manziel, RGIII Among 6 NFL Players Facing A Make-Or-Break 2015 Season - Apr 6, 2015
Through six weeks of the NFL season, we have just enough of a gauge on which teams are contenders and which teams we condisder out of playoff contention.
Teams like the winless Jaguars and Raiders already need to start planning for the 2015 season, while even a win for Tennessee means nothing in terms of the playoff picture.
Those three teams are among the six NFL teams we're sticking a fork in for 2014:
1. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars are among the youngest teams in the NFL, and now have rookie starters at quarterback, running back, and at two of the top three wide receivers. Gus Bradley took over a completely overhauled roster, and being winless at this point in the season should not come as too much of a surprise.
Bradley's job should not be on the line, nor should anyone have anticipated the Jags being a playoff team in 2014. Best-case scenario for the Jags is they build some late momentum that carries over into next year, when the organization will expect Bortles to be a seasoned NFL quarterback.
Until them, the Jags will probably be looking at a chance to draft in the top five, again. They better be scouting some offensive linemen now.
2. Oakland Raiders
Derek Carr looked like the player Raiders fans and coaches had hoped for when they drafted him in the second round then anointed him the Week 1 starter. The rookie was destined for growing pains, but going toe-to-toe with Philip Rivers and San Diego is a very promising sign going forward.
The rest of this team, however, is very suspect, especially on the defensive side of the ball where a bunch of has-beens and declining veterans are eating up most of the salary cap. That'll be the a main area to try and improve upon in the offseason.
With Denver and San Diego atop the AFC West, it just isn't the Raiders' year. Nor was it expected to be. 2014 is about getting Carr confidence before next year.
3. Tennessee Titans
Tennessee has managed two wins this season, one against the Chiefs in Week 1 and again last week against the Jaguars. Ken Whisenhunt will not be turning these Titans into a Cinderella story in 2014.
The Titans need to spend the rest of the year figuring out which pieces are going to be building blocks. Can Bishop Sankey be a starting running back? Is Justin Hunter the next No. 1 wide receiver? And who in the world is going to be the franchise quarterback, and is he even on the roster as of Oct. 14.?
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Maybe it was the four touchdown passes against them before halftime Sunday, or maybe it's that Lovie Smith actually thought signing Josh McCown was a smart decision, but I never expected Tampa Bay to be in the mix in 2014.
Then again, I never anticipated a Smith-coached defense be this horrible. It's been a joke, despite having the likes of Gerald McCoy, Lavonte David and Alterraun Verner in each level of the unit.
Like the Titans, the Bucs need to figure out who their starting quarterback is going to be, then find some offensive linemen capable of protecting him.
5. New York Jets
The Jets' circus is in full effect, as the coach, quarterback, and general manager are very much on the hot seat six weeks into the NFL season.
The Jets at 1-5 was a worst-case scenario when you dissected their strength of schedule, but one win through six weeks puts any team in too deep of a hole to make a run at the postseason, no matter how good the defense may be.
The Jets need to re-evaluate their roster, whether Smith is the answer under center or if Idzik did whiff on him as an NFL starter.
6. Washington
Washington is going to be a tough out, especially because it's in the NFC East and will go up against two probable playoff teams in the Eagles and Cowboys, as well as the Giants who are capable of making a run.
But with rumors circulating in the nation's capital that Jay Gruden needs to shake things up, you might as well count Washington out. There's a Kirk Cousins v. Robert Griffin III issue that needs to play out, with one remaining with the team and one needing to be dealt elsewhere.
When there's two quarterbacks, there's always a problem. Those things don't happen to playoff teams.

manifests itself most readily at the lower prices. In particular, the 128GB
version allows budget buyers to get more space at a lower cost than almost any
other drive we've reviewed.
Although Crucial's larger M4 drives have
been criticised for slow performance, the 128GB model is comfortably speedy in
terms of real-world performance. It doesn't match up to the best -the Kingston
HyperX 3K is faster - but it's close to being as good, and manages to hold up
while being a much better purchase in price terms as well. It's been a while
since Crucial's drives were the fastest, but they aren't out of the race, even
if they don't quite match up to SandForce-based models.
As we've seen elsewhere in this guide, the
low price isn't everything it seems, however. If you're aiming to put this in a
desktop machine, you'll most likely need to buy a bay converter separately,
which adds some expense onto the price. It's also inconvenient if you don't
notice until you come to install the drive.
That said, its power consumption levels are
rock-bottom, suggesting that it's really aimed at mobile, battery-powered
computing so in some ways you can see why Crucial might not be eager to promote
the desktop suitability of the product.
The one area you can truly say that the
Crucial M4 fails, though, is in offering a substantial upgrade to current
customers. If you already own a Crucial C300, you'll find that the M4 costs
proportionally more while offering no significant performance improvement.
Rather than improving its drives, Crucial shifted its priorities, coming up
with something that performed well for a wider variety of typical uses, rather
than aiming to have the fastest model on the market in theoretical terms.
Still, it performs quite well, and the low
price for 128GB makes it a drive you should definitely look at, especially if
you don't want to spend a lot of money.

A 17-year-old aspiring police officer has been charged with first-degree homicide during a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, killing two people and leaving one injured.
The suspect was identified as Kyle Rittenhouse, of Lake County, Illinois. Protestors in Lake County filed charged against Rittenhouse at noon on Wednesday, and named him a fugitive who "fled the state of Wisconsin with intent to avoid prosecution for that offense."
Tuesday was the third continuous night of furious protests in Kenosha since police shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back, leaving him paralyzed.
Rittenhouse, who was wearing a green t-shirt, a cap decorated with an American flag, and carrying an assault rifle, was caught on video in multiple locations that night. In numerous graphic videos, he's seen shooting at protesters; one shot in the head, another one in the chest. The surviving victim was shot in the arm.
A protesters witnessed the shooting.
"We were all chanting 'Black lives matter' at the gas station, and then we heard, boom, boom, and I told my friend, that's not fireworks," Devin Scott, 19, shared with the Chicago Tribune."And then this guy with this huge gun runs by us in the middle of the street, and people are yelling, 'He shot someone! He shot someone!' And everyone is trying to fight the guy, chasing him, and then he started shooting again."
A public defender has been assigned to Rittenhouse, and he will make a court appearance for an extradition hearing in the coming days.

Intelligence Minister says Iran's oil exports have increased
Iran's intelligence minister Esmail Khatib says despite pressure by the United States and its allies Tehran currently has fewer problems in selling oil.
Iran's oil exports have increased in the past one year compared with 2019-2020, according to business intelligence groups, but is still well below 2 million bpd exported before US sanctions were imposed in 2018.
Khatib also said that Iran's accesses to its foreign currency reserves have also increased.
IRNA also said that in the first six months of last Iranian year economic growth was 1.8 percent and because of more oil sales it reached 3.3 percent since March 21, when the new calendar year started.
According to reports, the fact that Iran is selling more oil in 2021 has been reported by international oil trade and shipping monitoring firms, such as Kpler, that has said Iran this year is selling twice as much oil as in 2020.

We have to say, CNN's willingness to get tough on the Biden administration and call them out for BS has been genuinely refreshing. There are exceptions at the network, of course, but we believe very strongly in giving credit where credit is due.
And we'd like to give Brianna Keilar credit for this interview with White House comms director Kate Bedingfield:
What you are not saying — I'm hearing in there that you're prepared to leave people behind [in Afghanistan]@WHCommsDir: We're doing everything we can to get as many people out who want to get out before the August 31st deadline. pic.twitter.com/Gtfze5sYt0
— Brianna Keilar (@brikeilarcnn) August 20, 2021
Bedingfield barely made it out of that interview alive.
Answer. https://t.co/ql8mQ6ovN1
— Arthur Frelling Dent (@ArthurFrDent) August 20, 2021
.@brikeilarcnn correctly points out that the White House is prepared to leave people (Americans and allies) behind in Afghanistan. @WHCommsDir repeatedly offers brainless talking point asserting that Biden is "laser focused." https://t.co/fNRhb7lAk3
— Mark Trammell (@mark_trammell) August 20, 2021
I heard LASER FOCUSED 3x. Not exactly sure on what but okay https://t.co/KxdFjbELaw
— Jessica Heddings (@JessicaHeddings) August 20, 2021
Lots of "lasers" not much of anything else….
— Bill Rohland (@BillRohland) August 20, 2021
Well, to be fair, the Taliban got all the good weapons. The best the Biden administration can do now is lasers. Crappy ones, at that.
Yikes… it's always what's not said https://t.co/97S3jaoTuE
— The OddOne Out (@iOddOne) August 20, 2021
And what if there are still people trying to get out who haven't been able to by 31 August? Are they just going to leave them behind? https://t.co/tdzCnxopI7
— Walt (@AU_GS_Walt) August 20, 2021
Good interview Brianna! It didn't do any favors to the Biden administration, but at least we now know they are ready to leave our allies to their fate under Taliban rule.
— Wayward_Ronin *Afghanistan Veteran* (@W4YW4RD_R0N1N) August 20, 2021
Not just allies. They're willing to leave Americans.
— AJ (@sarcastic_aj16) August 20, 2021
The White House is directly responsible for putting these people in danger. https://t.co/0P2lFywQdq
— Adrienne (@AdrienneRoyer) August 20, 2021
The buck stops with Joe Biden, no matter how desperately he tries to outrun it.
Masterful interview by Brianna Keilar
— Juanita Peters (@americasneighbr) August 20, 2021
Props to @brikeilarcnn here. I don't think Biden's White House is accustomed to being held to account like this. https://t.co/UXoSAPbqkX
— Eric H. (@ericinva) August 20, 2021
Bedingfield has demonstrated herself to be not only a committed gaslighter, but also an artful dodger of tough questions (a trait she shares with her boss). Props to Keilar for not letting Kate get away with it.

At a fundraising event billed as "community members donning their superhero capes to help tackle homelessness in Harford County", two local nonprofits announced that they were going to join forces to fight homelessness in the region.
Harford Family House and Welcome One Emergency Shelter, two longtime Harford County nonprofits that address homelessness, announced their merger Wednesday night at a fundraising event in Havre de Grace.
The merger, effective July 1, combines the resources of both organizations to help eliminate chronic homelessness in the region. The newly formed organization will retain the name Harford Family House.
In February 2022, the two nonprofit organizations finalized a merger agreement aimed at leveraging the strengths of both organizations with the ultimate goal of providing more holistic and transformative services across the continuum of care for individuals and families in homelessness, according to a statement from Harford Family House.
All staff from both organizations will be retained and eligible for benefits through the new entity, according to Harford Family House. A new position of Senior Director of Homeless Services will focus on continuity and integration between shelters, while an existing staff member will transition into the role of Workforce Development Specialist , working across the organization on job training and job placement.
Welcome One Emergency Shelter CEO Liz Tutino will retire on June 30. Harford Family House CEO Robin Tomechko will serve as CEO of the combined entity, said Vashelle Nino, Harford Family House marketing and communications manager. There will be no changes to Welcome One's opening hours or services, Nino said.
"From our perspective, the merger will be more efficient as it will create a single point of contact for the Harford Community Action Agency as it makes referrals to serve homeless individuals and families" said Cynthia Mumby, spokeswoman for the county's homeless services department. . "Also, Harford Family House has transitional housing, so someone in the Welcome One shelter could be placed there, opening up a shelter bed."
The announcement was made at the annual "Ahoy! Cocktails by the Bay," which featured a themed cast of community members who raised money for the organization. The cast raised over $32,000, which is the highest by an "Ahoy!" casting to date. This year's theme was Superheroes, and the following community members participated:
· Vickie Horne, Coordinator of Aberdeen Main Street – Catwoman;
· Jamila Mettee, accountant and HR for Frederick Ward Associates and realtor at Integrity Real Estate – Storm;
· Joy Waida, owner of Joy Home Design, Staging and Interiors – Batgirl;
· Mindy Pirczhalski, Realtor at Cummings and Co. Realtors and Ms. Central Maryland – Superwoman;
· Meggin Reeder, Financial Advisor at Northwestern Mutual – Wonder Woman;
· Susan Roarty, Director of Advancement and Alumni Relations at The John Carroll School – Captain Marvel;
· Gary Barnoff, President of Jarrettsville Federal Savings and Loan – Batman;

· Don Curry, President of TCA Property Management Inc. – Robin;
· Joe Ayler, President of Tar Heel Construction Group – Spiderman;
· Tim Langhauser, Founder of Compass Home Group – Captain American;
· Mike Bennett, Retired US Army Sergeant Major – Superman.
Mettee received the Buoy of Hope award as top fundraiser, raising over $6,000.
Harford Family House is the largest transitional housing provider for families with homeless children and unaccompanied adults ages 18-24 in Harford County. Since 1989, they have served over 600 families with children, transforming the lives of over 1,900 people.
The Welcome One emergency shelter in Belcamp is currently the only year-round homeless shelter in Harford County, with 26 beds for men and 6 beds for women. Since its opening in 2006, more than 2,000 people have passed through its doors.

Actor Clark Middleton Shares Insight Into His Shows, The Path and The Blacklist
Clark Middleton fell into acting by accident. As he tells it, "I just plumb wandered into an acting class in a junior college in Southern California. I was a bit lost not knowing what I wanted to do for the rest of my life." But for Middleton, who had been diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis when he was 4 years old, this lost boy was finally found.
He found his calling in a big way. When he was 25, he moved to New York City to study with legendary actress and teacher Uta Hagen. In Greenwich Village, he stumbled onto Cherry Lane Theatre, where Sam Shepard's play True West with John Malkovich and Gary Sinise was playing. "I scored the last ticket available and walked out of the theater two hours later on cloud nine thinking, I must work with Sam Shepard," he says. Twelve years later, he did his first play with Shepard and the great director Joseph Chaikin. "It takes time!" he adds. "And at least as much commitment."
That commitment has paid off. For the past three decades he has worked with many directing titans including Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Ang Lee, Richard Linklater, Alejandro Iñárritu, Bong Joon-Ho and David Lynch. He is also on two hit shows, NBC's The Blacklist and The Path on Hulu.
Aaron Paul, who co-stars on The Path, says Middleton's "love and passion for the craft lives inside of his bones.
"He pushes everyone around him to dive deep and give everything they have to the scene. Even between takes, he is still in character, searching, poking and prodding at you for information...These past two years have truly been magic."
On The Blacklist, Middleton has garnered attention as DMV boss Glen Carter, the irascible agitator to Red, the straight man played by James Spader. "I just fell in love with him instantly," says The Blacklist creator and executive producer Jon Bokenkamp. "I thought, OK, this guy has to be in our show. He's probably somebody Red knows. I didn't know who, but Red knows him somehow. Then I stumbled on this name Jelly Bean Carter."
As Bokenkamp recollects, for about a year they were trying to figure out: who is this guy? Who is Jelly Bean? What does he do? How can we use this guy? They finally landed on a DMV employee. "That seemed like it would be a great place for him to get privileged information, and would also allow him to be a complete grump," shares Bokenkamp. "But that character didn't come to life until Clark said the words."
On the Hulu series The Path, Middleton plays the Meyerist cult's troubled auditor, Richard, who struggles to help members come to terms with their founder's passing. When Middleton was originally cast his role was small. "But as soon as we saw the footage we knew there was something in the quality of his presence that demanded we tell his story. I wanted to know how did this man get involved in The Meyerist Movement and what had he given up to be there?" says Jessica Goldberg, The Path's creator, showrunner and executive producer.
While his career is now thriving, Middleton had his share of struggles. "There were many years that I had a hard time making a decent living as an actor," he says. "I had to find other jobs, like teaching, to get by." What he discovered is that he loves it and has been teaching for two decades. He has also made a living as a director and writer.
A number of years ago, Middleton formed his own production company and school Apt 929, where he offers classes with professional working actors. "We have formed an extraordinary community," says Middleton. "It is in the home of Geraldine Page and Rip Torn, great actors who both mentored and inspired me." In fact, the company is beginning to produce feature films. "But there are no shortcuts," he explains. "I knew I wanted to direct a feature for over 20 years. It's just now that I feel I'm prepared."
Clark shared more in our Q&A and revealed the great advice that Quentin Tarantino gave him.
You have said that your wish for people with arthritis is that they not be defined by their disability, but empowered by it.
You have to take the lead, redefine your narrative. Disabilities certainly create obstacles, but how you interpret those obstacles can become a creative act. I work in a business where one's appearance matters, at first, perhaps more than anything else. However, people get to know you, your character and confidence, how you transform a room or engage others. Those factors can change how people see you. Not because of, but in spite of our disabilities.
What would you like people to know about your character DMV boss Glen Carter on The Blacklist?

From the moment I laid eyes on the page, I got who Glen was, right down to his bedroom slippers. It was all in the writing. I knew what his mother looked like, how she behaved, how he behaved with her, what he had for breakfast, his relationship with Red, his job. That is what terrific writing does for an actor. It lights your imagination and fills out a lot of the unspoken things. Jon Bokenkamp and the writing team put something so marvelous on the page.
This May you are playing a mysterious character in David Lynch's new Twin Peaks.
I was always a fan of the original show, but I love everything that David Lynch has ever laid his hands on. Working with David was one of the greatest pleasures of my life. It gives me the same feeling I had as a kid playing centerfield in a pick-up baseball game. I remember a fly ball dropping out of the sky, my running in a sea of grass to get where I needed to be, and the sense that the ball would land in my glove. I thought, this is a high I can't explain. All I know is I want more of it.
What is the best advice someone has given you?
My best advice was from my father: Give the world the best you've got and the best will come back to you. Also, from my father: You have to love the work you do, and do the work you love.
What did Quentin Tarantino tell you that was so invaluable?
I told Quentin about my ambition to direct and asked him if he thought I should take a couple of years off from acting and go to film school. He said, 'No. Don't go to film school. Go to movies. Watch at least one movie a day.' I had fairly obsessively watched movies my whole life and loved them. They got me through a lot of lonely years when I had been sick. But after speaking with Quentin, I committed to a film a day and watched close to 400 movies a year for the next 10 years. I have learned so much about the great directors of the world and their processes of storytelling on film. I have also been making shorts with my own production company and feel that I'm finally ready to direct my first feature.
Why is working with the Arthritis Foundation so close to your heart?
I have lived with the disease since I was 4. As a kid, it was a very rocky road. I was lucky to have had a magnificent father who helped me frame things in a way that allowed me to create something with it, to turn lemons into lemonade. The Arthritis Foundation gives me the opportunity to speak to others who have had my same challenges, to meet kids and their parents going through what we did. Last month we visited Congressional representatives with some of the disabled kids and adults from New York.
I was inspired to start a support group, The Young Mels, to support kids with rheumatoid arthritis in pursuit of their dreams and guide them through what are inevitably tough times. The Young Mels are named after my dad, Mel Middleton. The AF has so many vital projects including pushing legislation for healthcare and research. And for veterans with arthritis, they are pushing for a dedicated arthritis budget at the Department of Defense to create an arthritis research program.
Can you describe a moment that you wish you could experience over and over and over again?
Marrying my wife Elissa! Our beautiful wedding was ordained by our dear friend Matthew Cowles. And I know that both of us would love to have him back to remarry us daily.
Could you share one of the greatest out-of-body experiences you have had?
I have one every time I work. Recently, I was shooting a scene with Aaron Paul at night in the woods. It was freezing cold and I was standing by Aaron as he sat in the driver's seat of a Mustang. We were waiting for them to wrap up a lighting thing and roll camera. But when I looked at Aaron, he looked at me and we both had this huge grin. 'Can you believe we get to do this for a living?!?' I asked. Magic anesthetizes the cold. We couldn't even feel it. Too much joy!
Another day I will never forget was a day off I shared with John Hurt while we were doing Snowpiercer in Prague. He and his wife Anwen, and me and my wife Elissa were sitting at an outdoor restaurant along the Vltava, the river in Prague. We were eating, drinking champagne, talking shop. I thought, look at this beautiful place. This stunning city. My beautiful wife. And one of the best actors in the world talking about this wonderful work we do. John was a marvel and I miss him dearly and often.

Minecart Blood
In Just Blood Carts, when a minecart hits a mob at high speed (including peaceful mobs) it turns the mob into blood, which collects in the minecart.
When a minecart is full of blood, and goes down a hill, at high speed, the blood will fly out of the minecart and turn into a block of Congealed Blood.
You can detect whether a minecart is full of blood by running it over a stone pressure plate.
