The Leaning Tower of Pisa and More-A A +A
By Luci Lizares
Thursday, July 24, 2014
THE reason most of us go to Pisa is to see the Leaning Tower. Right? But to my surprise and awe, there was more to Pisa than the tower.
While this Bell Tower is the signature of the place, the Piazza del Duomo now known as the Piazza dei Miracoli hosts fabulous art and architecture, which truly deserves applause.
Unlike most piazzas in Italy, which are paved, this piazza is a vast, well-manicured grassy field of green. The two other monuments that dominate the Medieval Complex are the Cathedral and the Baptistery. These are all in luminous stone and white marble and they are marvelous whether from a distance or up close.
The Leaning of Pisa is a freestanding Bell Tower for the Cathedral, which took 344 years to build. Would you believe that it began leaning in 1178 when the construction was just on the second floor? The soft ground is believed to be the cause of the leaning. The construction stopped twice for over 100 years due to war.
On the side where the tower leans and the high side is a difference of a foot and 27 inches. There are 294 steps on the north side and 296 on the south side of the tower. There are seven bells in the tower to represent each note in the musical scale and they are found in the 8th floor.
Since 2008, engineers have declared that the tower had stopped leaning on one side. Because of this, there are suggestions to have the tower straightened but if they do so, the tower will lose its charm and more so, its global identity and appeal of a leaning tower.
In around 1590 Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), a native of Pisa, climbed up the Leaning Tower and dropped two balls of different masses, but of similar shape and density. Upon release, both hit the ground at the same time. This confirmed his Law of Gravity.
In the Medieval Complex is the Baptistery dedicated to San Giovanni. Its construction spanned 200 years. It is the largest Baptistery in the entire country of Italy. The Baptistery is most famous for its perfect acoustics. One can stand below the edge of the dome and sing a note for several seconds, and the sound will travel around and around the dome for many more seconds. Choir concerts held inside can be heard from miles away. Not visible to the naked eye, the Baptistery likewise leans 0.6 degrees towards the cathedral.
The heart of the Piazza del Duomo or Miracoli is the Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Pisa dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta (St. Mary of the Assumption). The Cathedral symbolizes the maximum expression of Pisan Romanesque architecture. The Cathedral has many influences of various styles and cultures: Byzantine as well as Islamic components.
The church also contains the bones of St Ranieri, Pisa's patron saint and the tomb of the Holy Roman Emperor Henry VII and Pope Gregory VIII. There are relics believed to have been brought in during the Crusades. The remains of three saints—Abibo, Gamaliel and Nicodemus—are also found here. One vase is believed to be one of the jars of the Wedding in Cana. Just like the Baptistery, the Cathedral has tilted slightly since its construction.
While the other cousins were roaming around, Dido and I decided to offer Mass and we were quite surprised to see a parade of so many priests. Even the Archbishop was concelebrating the Mass. We were elated to discover that it was the 950th anniversary of the dedication of the Cathedral. What a blessing! Thank you Lord!
An interesting scientific note about the Cathedral is that Galileo is believed to have formulated his theory about the movement of a pendulum by watching the swinging of the incense lamp hanging from the ceiling on the nave of this Cathedral.
In the 19th century, Pisa was the host town for many artists, an excellent university town and home to some of the most prestigious academies in the world.
.Today, the University of Pisa is Italy's 10th oldest university and ranks among the top universities in Europe. It counts five popes on its list of prestigious alumni.
The Piazza del Miracoli sets itself apart from the usual crowded cathedrals and other important structural highlights beside it because it is landscaped in a sea of green. It has a very calming effect the moment you enter the gates. UNESCO has described it as "an outstanding Medieval Christian Complex" and truly it is.

Sweetheart tree is a deciduous, upright-growing, small tree native to eastern Asia, typically reaching 15-25' tall with a compact, vase-shaped crown. It is hardy in USDA Hardiness Zones 6 through 8 and is adapted well to the hot, humid summers of the eastern and southeastern United State. It is tolerant of a variety of conditions from half-shade to full sun, and dry to moist soils. It has large panicles (four to nine inches) of small, yellowish-white flowers in May to June. These form showy rose to ruby-red fruits that persist until the early fall, when they open into shapes vaguely resembling a heart, which give rise to the name sweetheart tree. The compound leaves are a dark, glossy green and turn yellow to mahogany-purple tones in autumn, depending on the trees location. Bark on one-year-old wood is an attractive deep reddish-purple, turning brownish-gray and developing striations when mature. You can see sweetheart tree on the roadside above the Garden Clubs of America Circle in the Asian Collections.

It's about time… Stanford, for all their well earned praise in medical research and treatment capability, has one seriously crappy hospital. We went there for our first child and it was disappointing, the only thing you really wanted was to get out as quickly as possible. Our second child was born at Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City and that is a palace compared to Stanford Hospital. The Lucile Packard Children's Hospital is another story altogether, but that's pretty new compared to the main hospital at 15 years old. Of course, it will be a long time before anyone sees a new hospital at Stanford given the hostility that the Santa Clara County planning department and the City of Palo Alto have to the university's construction plans whenever they come up. I think Palo Alto would prefer that Stanford raze every building on their massive property minus the Hoover Tower, opting instead for hiking trails open only to PA residents. They would probably like to keep the shopping mall as well given the sales tax revenues it generates.
MercuryNews.com | 11/20/2006 | Stanford plans huge hospital expansion:
Stanford wants to rebuild most of its hospital rooms as examples of what industry experts call the new standard for health care: all private rooms, large enough for a comfy couch for family visitors and equipped with technology that will reduce trips down the hall or to the lab. The new approach aims to drastically reduce hospital-born infections.

Iranian Christians to stand trial for blasphemy

Five Iranian Christians will soon stand trial on charges of blasphemy against Islam, according to Christian Solidarity Worldwide. The five-- a Protestant pastor and four laymen-- have already been sentenced to a year in prison for crimes against the Islamic order.
Only 0.02% of the nation's 72.6 million people are Catholic, according to Vatican statistics; overall, Christians account for 2%-3% of the population.

A tribunal ruled that Watford should pay Brighton & Hove Albion £275,000 for Keith Dublin.
The Hornets, having offered £175,000, would have been marginally the happier with the verdict, the Seagulls having demanded £400,000.
A likeable if error-prone player, Dublin was to make almost 200 appearances for the club.

"I love how people think that's new - like, 'Welcome to the past 13 years,'" the singer said during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "Yeah, I was the biggest girl on [American Idol], too. And I wasn't big, but people would call me big because I was the biggest one on Idol, and I've kind of always gotten that."
While the "Heartbeat Song" songstress said she's not concerned with comments about her own weight, she does take offense when her fans get upset about theirs. "I think what hurts my feelings for people is that I'll have a meet-and-greet after the show and a girl who's, like, bigger than me will be in the meet-and-greet and be like, 'Wow, if they think you're big, I must be so fat to them.'"
In spite of what her weight critics have said, Kelly is still keeping her head up. "It's like, you're just who you are," she continued. "We are who we are. Whatever size, and it doesn't mean that we're gonna be that forever," she said. "That's the thing. Sometimes we're more fit. Like especially me, I'm such a creative person I yo-yo. So sometimes I'm more fit and I get into kickboxing hardcore. And then sometimes I don't, and I'm like...I'd rather have wine."

Game Keepers Without Game is a film set within the structure of a feature length melodrama. Formally based on the Spanish dramatist Pedro Calderón de la Barca's play La Vida es Suena (Life is a Dream), it follows the narrative of the return of a child who had been banished from the family home. Translated into contemporary British life, the film is comprised of a mixture of acted scenes where nothing and nobody touches each other. Still shots of objects fluctuate between being status symbols, evidence of crime and theatrical props. A drumming sound track builds up and breaks down like the building of a house.

New York Hello, London! Jolly good show, New York!
New Yorkers could see their English cousins across the pond Thursday without benefit of cable TV or video conferencing, courtesy of an unusual live optical hookup created by a conceptual artist with a fanciful tale of a long-lost tunnel.
An optical device called a "telectroscope" was placed at the Fulton Ferry Landing in Brooklyn and another one on the Thames River in London.
Spectators stepped up to the machine on both sides of the Atlantic and waved and wrote greetings to each other in real time on wipe-off message boards. They told knock-knock jokes, asked about the weather and found time for a few shout-outs to Queen Elizabeth and the Manchester United soccer team.
The contraption is the invention of Paul St George, a London artist known for his tiny replicas of monumental pieces of art.
Publicists will say only that it uses fiberoptic communication. St George prefers to stick to his story that the machine was started by his great-grandfather in Victorian times and transmits images via a tunnel under the ocean.

"To put it bluntly, the discipline of economics has yet to get over its childish passion for mathematics and for purely theoretical and often highly ideological speculation, at the expense of historical research and collaboration with the other social sciences. Economists are all too often preoccupied with petty mathematical problems of interest only to themselves. This obsession with mathematics is an easy way of acquiring te appearance of scientificity without having to answer the far more complex questions posed by the world we live in. There is one great advantage to being an academic economist in France: here, economists are not highly respected in the academic and intellectual world or by political and financial elites. Hence they must set aside their contempt for other disciplines and their absurd claim to greater scientific legitimacy, despite the fact they they know almost nothing about anything."
Thomas Piketty, Capital in the 21st Century

Senate Gives Final Passage To Bill Protecting Developmentally Disabled From Funding Cuts
ALBANY, 06/18/13 -- State Senator James L. Seward (R/C/I – Oneonta) today announced final legislative passage of a bill that would protect providers for services for developmentally disabled from state funding cuts.
The legislation (S.4777D) co-sponsored by Senator Seward, would appropriate up to $90 million to the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) to protect providers from funding reductions if recommended savings measures fall short of projections.
"During the state budget process I fought hard to restore the governor's cuts to the OPWDD budget. As a long-time supporter of these programs I realize how vital they are to the lives of vulnerable New Yorkers," said Senator Seward. "While partial restorations were made, I was not pleased with the final funding numbers, and vowed to continue the fight – which has now been won."
Senator Seward and his Republican colleagues in the senate strongly opposed the proposal in the governor's budget for $240 million in across-the-board funding cuts to OPWDD. The senate's budget resolution, passed in March, called for the full restoration of funding for OPWDD.
The final state budget restored $60 million in state and federal funds to OPWDD. In addition, the budget created a workgroup that identified alternatives to minimize the impact of the cuts. The plan included using funds from Medicaid fraud recoveries, implementing less costly approaches to treatment, and ensuring that Medicaid is the payer of last resort.
Under the legislation passed today, should the savings fall short of the amount expected to be achieved from the workgroup, the state would transfer sufficient funds to OPWDD to make up for the shortfall. The commissioner of OPWDD may also take into account greater efficiencies which do not diminish or impair services or the quality of care as reflected in the recommendations of the workgroup.
"This new agreement will ensure that developmentally disabled New Yorkers and their families will continue to receive the quality care and support they depend on to make it through the day, while progressing toward long-term goals," Seward concluded.

During a job interview, you will likely be asked questions about how you managed work on your previous jobs. A typical question is "Describe a time when your workload was heavy and how you handled it." This question can come up in interviews for jobs at all levels from entry-level to executive. Many jobs have times when the work piles up, and your answer will help the interviewer determine if you are a good match for the job.

Sample Answers to Heavy Workload Question

While at the HKL plant, we were faced with a sudden order increase for the j-ball bearing from a new customer. I immediately sat down with the production supervisor, our materials/supply manager, and the union steward. We were able to lay out a workable plan that minimized hourly costs, guaranteed materials were available and, with only a slight adjustment, met the production deadline. While it was challenging and involved long hours, the payoff was a signed contract with a new customer.

When I was working on a software implementation team at ABC Company, we took over another company and had to transition many clients to a new product in a short amount of time. It took a lot of planning, time, hard work, and effort, but we were able to complete the project in a timely manner.

When Judy was on maternity leave, I took over servicing her clients as well as my own. It was a good challenge to ensure they got the same amount of attention from our company as when both of us were on the job. At times when we had increased demands, I brought in George from accounting to assist in calls and tasks to ensure everyone got good service.

What to Include In Your Answer

The cause of the heavy workload should be stated in a way you aren't blaming somebody else for a delay or incompetence. If it was due to a coworker being absent for illness or leave, that is acceptable.

Your interviewer is looking for employees who can react effectively to an increase in workload, without drama or haphazard handling of the situation. Explaining how you thought out a plan of action and worked together with others to ensure all contingencies were addressed is a good answer.

If you or your team received a commendation or award for meeting the workload, you should include that in your answer.

What Not to Include in Your Answer

Don't play the blame game in your answer. If the workload was heavy due to mismanagement, procrastination, or another type of failure, pass by the cause or only discuss it if asked further. Starting off blaming someone else is a red flag.

If you were the cause of the problem that led to the work backing up, it's best not to discuss that element unless asked about it directly. "I overslept so I had to do eight hours work in four hours, at least once a week," is not an example you want to discuss.

Avoid too much drama in your answer.

Detained by the United States Secret Service while, um, speech writing
I have been busy helping wannabe candidates for Parliament polish their CVs over the last few days so missed posting this on Monday, the 10 year anniversary of my first flight to the United States.
Speech writing is usually tough, hard, lonely work. Many UK speech writing clients like to keep you as a secret resource. It's often hard to get enough quality time with the client and the time pressure is usually huge. But sometimes you find a client who gives you the time, understands your job, has something important to say and is a bit different.
I flew from Heathrow with Air India and was upgraded to First Class and it was fantastic. I am normally an EasyJet kind of guy but the deliciously spicy food, the First Class Service and the choice of good Scotch made it a First that I could get used to.
I was picked up by a big black Embassy car and driven to the United Nations Plaza Hotel. It looks like it has been upgraded now but it was a bit tired at the time – especially compared to some of its shiny neighbours. It is a tall building on the eastern edge of Manhattan's Midtown, directly across from the headquarters of the United Nations.
I was in New York to work with a client I had never met who was scheduled to give an important speech to important people 10 days later in the United Nations building. He was the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka. I was excited. This was big stuff.
That night I met my client, Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe M.P. at a reception at the Sri Lankan embassy. I also met his Political Secretary, Bradman Weekaron (a serious grown up with a big CV who, delightfully!, didn't take himself seriously), members of his cabinet and the Sri Lankan Ambassadors to the United Nations and the United States. Everybody was bouncy and upbeat and there was an excited pre-match buzz in the air. The Prime Minister was gracious and smiling but taut and pent up. He was the performer. They were the fans.
When I found out what he wanted to say and achieve, I understood why. I got excited too. This was bigger than I had thought. Speech writing is too often about making dull stuff sound interesting. Writing a peace speech to the world does not come along every day.
Speech writing can't be done in a vacuum – I need to understand the message and the messenger. I needed to understand the Prime Minister's voice and his style and his vocabulary as well as his message. He was fantastic and gave me huge amounts of access – many of his visitors were surprised to find me in the back of the huge room when they held their meetings with the Prime Minister and his advisors. I just sat, pen in hand, quietly absorbing it all and concentrating on him and his voice and vocabulary.
The Prime Minister and I worked together late at night high up in his corner suite after all his other meetings were over. Being a Prime Minister is tough – 18 hour days are standard. The Secret Service guards would relax after checking my United Nations pass. They had just come back from being on a security detail in Afghanistan and were happy to be back home.
It wasn't all work though. There were loads of events during the ten days. I (glancingly) met German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, who I had once chatted with in a small Kneipe in Wernigerode called the Carousel when he was campaigning to become Chancellor of Germany. I saw the scrum that surrounded Silvio Berlusconi when he arrived at the hotel. I also met and made friends with Henry Chimunthu Banda, who was the Malawian Deputy Foreign MInister, now the Speaker. I was born in Malawi, but he didn't believe me until I pulled out my passport and showed him: Place of Birth – Blantyre, Malawi!
Then I went and got myself arrested.
The speech was over and the delegation had gone home and I had 3 hours free on my last day in New York. I had never been to the US so I went sight seeing. I wasn't used to seeing such big buildings – in Bulawayo, where I was brought up, there were probably only 2 or three buildings taller than 5 floors – and here I was in a city of shiny glass and metal skyscrapers. I slung my camcorder over my shoulder but under my jacket so it wouldn't be stolen and wandered around, eyes up and mouth open, filming. I was in a different world, walking along streets decorated with green door canopies that I recognised from TV – I was hoping to find the Cheers pub and buy a souvenir drink.
Then I heard a pistol being cocked behind me to the left. A controlled voice told me to put my hands in the air. Slowly. The Controlled Voice politely said: "A moment please Sir." – then a large hand clasped my right shoulder and arm. It wasn't a request or a suggestion. These guys were tense.
They wanted to know why I was filming skyscrapers and buildings and they didn't like my story much. To be fair, if you were them, would you believe a Brit who claimed to be working for the Sri Lankan Government, carried a United Nations pass and spoke with a southern African accent? And it was in the secure zone and "Bushlock" had reigned for days. (Random question: Do New Yorkers call gridlock Obamalock now?)
I got "escalated". I was taken around the corner to a long, white pantechnicon with shiny aluminium Jacobs brakes on the outside and space for at least 15 people inside. I knew what it was because on the side in 5 foot letters it said "US Secret Service Mobile Command Centre". Apparently, New York is loaded with them again this week, as the UN convenes again at its traditional time. In Britain it would have been a Transit van with a BT logo. A senior officer questioned me while he half-sat on a desk and played back the video footage on my camcorder, an officer took notes and someone else phoned the United Nations pass office, the British Embassy and the Sri Lankan Embassy. Twenty minutes later, they started to relax and I was released after I was sternly told that New York is safer than London.
My work over the last 20 years has taken me to remote, dusty, non-tourist bits of China, glitzy Dubai, sweaty North Africa and over a hundred towns or cities in Europe. But I have had few gigs as memorable as my trip to America. Watching the speech live from the front of the chamber was a once off. Watching it again on CNN from inside the tiny cramped CNN studio in the United Nations building was special – MY words on CNN! MY English teacher would have been proud.
So what happened then? When he returned to Sri Lanka, The Prime Minister took over 8 hours to complete the 30 km drive from Bandaranaike International Airport to the capital Colombo because of the crowds who had come out to greet him.
According to www.globalsecurity.org:
"Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has returned to a hero's welcome in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo. Tens of thousands lined the streets outside the airport to celebrate the return of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. Swarmed by officials and supporters at the airport…
According to Wikipedia, The Sri Lankan President later sacked three ministers of the cabinet, took over the ministries using her constitutional powers and ended the uneasy coalition between her and the Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe while he was out of the country.
I took this photo of the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka from the Malawi desk right at the front of the inner chamber of the United Nations.

5 of Louis van Gaal's worst games as Manchester United manager
Louis van Gaal has left his position as Manchester United manager, paying the price for a disappointing second season at Old Trafford.
Here, Press Association Sport looks at five of his worst games in charge of the club
1) MK Dons 4 Manchester United 0 (Capital One Cup, August 26, 2014)
Ed Woodward has a picture of the scoreboard from United's 2-0 defeat to Olympiacos as his screensaver to remind him of the hardest of times, but he must have been tempted to change it following this result. After a loss to Swansea and a defeat to Sunderland, this was the perfect chance for Van Gaal to earn his first win as United boss, but fringe players like Danny Welbeck, Shinji Kagawa and Anderson let him down. A team showing 10 changes from the Sunderland loss stumbled to a 4-0 defeat against the League One side thanks to doubles from Will Grigg and Benik Afobe.
2) Arsenal 3 Manchester United 0 (Premier League, October 4, 2015)
Having lost just once all season, United had the chance to move top and underline their title credentials at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal had suffered an embarrassing 3-2 home defeat to Olympiacos in midweek, but the Gunners wasted little time hammering United. United were slow and static in midfield after Van Gaal selected Michael Carrick and Bastian Schweinsteiger in the holding roles and they had little answer to the pace of Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil. The German and the Chilean scored a minute after each other to put the hosts 2-0 up after just seven minutes and Sanchez added a third in the 19th minute to kill United off.
3) Manchester United 0 PSV Eindhoven 0 (Champions League, November 25, 2015)
Probably the game that signalled the beginning of the end for Van Gaal. United knew a win would send them through to the knockout stages of the Champions League, but instead they could only muster a 0-0 draw. Morgan Schneiderlin, Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard and Memphis Depay all wasted good chances and the draw proved costly as Unied's defeat in Wolfsburg a fortnight later sent them out of the competition. The United board were not happy. They expected the team to top the group, not crash out into the Europa League.
4) Manchester United 1 Norwich 2 (Premier League, December 19, 2015)
A week after losing to Bournemouth, United were humbled by another promoted side at home. United dominated possession in the first half, but failed to score and Norwich made them pay. Cameron Jerome put the Canaries ahead thanks to some static defending from Phil Jones and the striker then fed Alex Tettey for Norwich's second. Martial pulled one back for United, but it was not enough to save them from their first home defeat to Norwich since 1989. The home fans made their frustrations clear by booing the team off while the travelling support poked fun at Van Gaal by chanting the name of Jose Mourinho, who was being tipped to take over from Van Gaal after his dismissal from Chelsea.
5) Tottenham 3 Manchester United 0 (Premier League, April 10, 2016)
United had not lost at White Hart Lane since 2001 but a run of 14 matches undefeated there came to a humiliating end as Tottenham ripped van Gaal's side apart. Three goals in six second-half minutes exposed United's creaky mentality and leaky defence as the visitors fell four points behind Manchester City in the race for the top four. Van Gaal raised eyebrows with a baffling substitution at half-time as he brought Ashley Young on to play as a lone striker, a role he seemed entirely unsuited to. United were also not helped by some farcical pre-match preparation, in which their team bus was held up in London traffic, meaning they had to rush through their warm-up and kick-off was delayed by half an hour. It summed up another shambolic day for Van Gaal's men.

Praise - A Weapon of Warfare and Deliverance
Full Product Description
PRAISE is a powerful weapon in deliverance and spiritual warfare. As you praise the Lord, things begin to happen in the unseen realm. In the Old Testament, the people of God didn't have the name of Jesus as a weapon, but they did have praise. When Saul was troubled by an evil spirit, the only thing they knew to help him was to call David. What happened when David began to play on his harp and sing praise to his God? The evil spirit departed from King Saul. You can see why praise was so important to those Old Testament saints. You can see why they developed such a lifestyle of praise. We are told to resist the devil and make him flee, and praise is an often overlooked and underused weapon to accomplish this. I want you to understand what your praise does in the spirit realm. A demon cannot exist in that atmosphere - he simply cannot function. Evil spirits have tormented us enough; through praise we get to turn the tables and torment them!
Praise - A Weapon of Warfare and Deliverance by Frank Hammond was published by Impact Christian Books in February 2015 and is our 40050th best seller. The ISBN for Praise - A Weapon of Warfare and Deliverance is 9780892283859.

One of the big selling points of the Republican Party is its aversion to wasting taxpayer dollars. Elect us, they say, and we'll be good stewards of your money. We'll make government leaner and more efficient, delivering the services you need at a lower cost.
Sounds nice enough.
But then you look at how Republicans spent their money in the 2012 campaign, and you realize they can't possibly know the first thing about efficiency and sensible spending.
Exhibit A: Lenore "You're Awful" Broughton, the ill-tempered legatee, who poured one million dollars (One… MEEEELLLYUN…dollars) down a rathole called Vermonter(s) First. Which persistently spent her money on stuff that wasn't working: enough mailers to single-handedly rescue the Postal Service, hyperventilating attacks on Democrats, and a fatally flawed candidate for Treasurer. And, lest we forget, the overpriced consultancy of Tayt Brooks, International Man of Mystery.
The Tayter was fleecing Broughton to the tune of $8,000 a month. (Coincidentally, the same salary that Darcie "Hack" Johnston was (cough) earning from the Randy Brock campaign. More later.) While, according to VTDigger, the actually successful manager of the Shumlin campaign, Alex MacLean, took home about $3,300 in October. That girl needs an agent.
One of the many items in VF's Parade of Profligacy was polling services from an out-of-state firm. Now, maybe the polling was complete crap (like the one-nighter robo-poll that Randy Brock touted as evidence he was gaining ground on Shumlin), but if the polling was at all accurate, Brooks had to have some notion that his strategy was failing. And yet he just kept on doing the same old stuff. And Broughton kept on cutting checks whenever he asked. And, according to Hack, she plans to continue with Vermonter First. Because, y'know, she has to be pleased as punch with her ROI so far.
Her grandfather, ace business executive Sewell Avery, was a right old bastard. But at least he knew what to do with a dollar. Apparently, Broughton lost the genetic lottery: she inherited the temper but not the money smarts. Avery must be rolling in his grave.
After the jump: Randy Brock, mad spendthrift; plus Doug Hoffer, King of ROI.
Exhibit B: Randy Brock. His one big credential was his money smarts: former top executive at Fidelity Investments, turned in a creditable performance as State Auditor. Elect him, and he'll don the green eyeshade and make sure every one of your tax dollars is spent wisely.
Now look at his campaign, and tell me that it didn't completely undermine that hard-won image. He spent big bucks on out-of-state consultants who gave him cookie-cutter strategies that don't work in Vermont. He paid an out-of-state firm to create a slick-looking but generic campaign website. He spent even more on formulaic TV ads from out-of-state producers: Ominous music, Shumlin in bad lighting, false charges… then happy music, everyday folks, and your hero Randy Brock. I'm sure those ads are slapped together from a template: "Insert Candidate's Name Here."
And let us not forget the Hack. I went back through all of Brock's campaign finance reports and added up all the expenses paid to "Johnston Consulting." On the July 15 report, which includes all fundraising and expenditures for the previous year, all payments to Johnston are listed as "Consulting and Fundraising." That would appear to include reimbursements (a few hundred here, a few hundred there, odd amounts) plus salary (big numbers, even amounts), which is a pretty sloppy way for an ex-auditor to do his accounts, but never mind.
Between December 2011 and July 15 2012, the Brock campaign paid Johnston Consulting a total of $55,032.26. Of that total, there were five checks for $8,000 each, which was obviously salary. Small checks (less than $500 each) accounted for about $7400; those appear to have been expense reimbursements. The remainder, $8,479, was in amounts ranging from $850 to $2925. Those could have been salary payments, or reimbursements for major expenses, it's not clear which.
But let's be as charitable to the Hack as we can possibly be, and say that she "earned" $40,000 in salary from December through mid-July. From mid-July through mid-November, salary and reimbursements are separately categorized. During that period, Johnston was reimbursed a total of $5,222.91, and she was paid $40,979.49 for consulting services.
And now, let's add it up. If you count only the $8,000 checks from the July 15 report as salary, and generously assume the rest of the money was for reimbursement of expenses, then Darcie Johnston took home $80,979.49 in salary. Other remuneration (probably campaign-related expenses) added up to $20,255.17.
For a grand total of $100,234.66. Nice work if you can get it.
Overall, the Brock campaign spent more than $800,000, including $300,000 of his own personal money. What did he get? A whopping 38% of the vote.
And what lessons did he learn?
Asked if in hindsight he'd have changed his spending strategies, Brock said: "No. Well, with additional funding, I would have spent more."
Translation: "I burned all my money. If I'd had more, I would have made a bigger fire." What was it Einstein said about insanity?
I think Deane Davis is rolling in his grave, just like Sewell Avery.
Exhibit C: Doug Hoffer, the King of ROI. Spent $53,842.95, got 140,805 votes. Cost: 39 cents per vote.
Compare that to Randy "I would have spent more" Brock, who laid out a whopping $7.27 per vote. I know, I know, running for Governor and for Auditor aren't necessarily comparable. But Hoffer was significantly outspent by Vince Illuzzi, while Brock's campaign spent far more than Governor Shumlin's. The playing fields were much more comparable than in a typical campaign season.
But the point is: Doug Hoffer got his money's worth, more so than any other candidate in 2012. He spent frugally and won. Y'know, that uncharismatic socialist mumbler might just make a really fine Auditor.
This careless (and pointless) overspending by Republicans — and their insistence that all they have to do is spend more — belies their traditional standing as the party of frugality, the party you can trust to act like adults and hold down the cost of government.
And it aligns nicely with the Republicans' national record in recent years: the party that cares deeply about the deficit whenever a Democrat is in the White House. Otherwise, whoopee, tax cuts and reckless spending for all!
Between Reagan and Bush II, the deficit consistently grew faster during Republican administrations than Democratic ones. That string was broken with Obama; the deficits have been larger during his first term. But that's almost entirely due to the legacy of Bush II: the tax cuts, the wars, and the huge costs of the Bush recession. Obama's stimulus is responsible for only a fraction of the deficit. Also, by all independent accounts, Mitt Romney's tax and spending plans would have ballooned the deficit even more.
It's a shame, really. Our system works better with two credible parties. The Republicans have been squandering their credibility for years, thanks to their spendthrift ways and their preoccupation with social issues. It's clear from the massive and failed investments of the Brock campaign and Vermonter First, not to mention the hundreds of millions sunk down the national Super PAC ratholes, that Republicans aren't capable of carefully handling their own finances, let alone the state's or the country's.

WATCH: Footage Finally Emerges of Cody Garbrandt Choking TJ Dillashaw
The UFC's reality series "The Ultimate Fighter" seems to have had a steady decline in viewership over the years, but sometimes it only takes one solid storyline and rivalry to kick the hype train back into the gear.
Teaser footage emerged back in March showing UFC bantamweight champion choking his former Team Alpha Male teammate TJ Dillashaw on the set of the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter. Dillashaw left Team Alpha Male back in 2015 in order to train with Elevation Fight Team, with rumors abounding that the split was an ugly one.
The UFC's lightweight champion Conor McGregor called Dillashaw a "snake in the grass" when they met each other on the set of The Ultimate Fighter: McGregor vs Faber, and the name stuck. For fans and competitors alike, Dillashaw became a snake. Garbrandt remained loyal to Team Alpha Male, and was outspoken about his former teammate, dubbing him a "cancer" on the team. Garbrandt even went as far to claim that he has footage of himself knocking Dillashaw out during training at the Team Alpha Male gym.
Cody Garbrandt is no stranger to TUF confrontations after almost trading blows with Conor McGregor…
Now explosive new footage has dropped, showing more of the confrontation between Dillashaw and Garbrandt.
As two cast members, Gilbert and Seth go through their weight cuts to get ready to fight each other, there is a drama in the hallway on the set. Words are exchanged between the two fighters, and soon Garbrandt steps up to defend his fighter.
"You're fake as f*ck, you know you are," says Garbrandt as he stands close to Dillashaw.
"He stepped toward me, in my bubble," recalls the champion. "Got in my personal space, I latched him up like an eagle. An eagle latched up a snake, right on his throat."
"He called me fake, then attacked me," said Dillashaw, looking exasperated. "I think it all bleeds down to just insecurity. Cody's not very smart, he doesn't have anything that he can say that is witty. He feels like he needs to create drama to be important.'
"He's shook. He's scared. He's the one who invited that fight and he got what he got," says Garbrandt.
Looking forward to the next season of the Ultimate Fighter? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Don't have enough drama in your life? Cambridge professors plan on infusing your daily ritual with the excitement of watching your tea leaves swirl. It's riveting and it makes your tea awfully luxurious. Not sure that I buy that. Or that I'd actually buy that: http://www.cambridgefirst.co.uk/business/a_taste_of_theatre_for_tea_drinkers_1_1196559 February 2, 2012 at 23:17 #7014 peterKeymaster @peter Looks like a strange lab machine in a typical college science lab. Not sure, I'd want that to make my tea, I'd keep thinking of algae compositions, cell structures and the possibility that its mixing together some new toxic substance… February 3, 2012 at 09:17 #7016 teapagesParticipant @teapages I understand that people love the convenience of their tea makers, but it's just not me. For me, the tea making process is a big part of my enjoyment. I am always on the lookout for easy brewing techniques. My latest is to use my Tea Traveler for steeping. I add the leaves and water. I love watching the leaves unfurl and spread out since the container is clear. Then I just pour through the strainer at the top into a teacup. I get to really see the tea, can drink out of a nicer cup, and clean up is easy. I'm not sure how a tea maker would simplify this any! February 3, 2012 at 11:08 #7017 peterKeymaster @peter @teapages – Given how you describe your enjoyment of the tea making process, I would guess that the Breville tea maker (modern wonder that it is) is not for you. What about something manual, yet very elegant – the French Press – something I've called before The best modern method for brewing tea. February 3, 2012 at 14:13 #7022 XavierParticipant @xavier I don't get how it is supposed to work. February 3, 2012 at 17:49 #7029 teapagesParticipant @teapages The Breville is lovely, but I really think I like the simple ways. Although I wouldn't turn my nose up at the Zojrushi water dispenser. 😉 We have a French Press for coffee, but I'm not sold on its advantages for steeping tea. It seems like something else to clean when a simple glass vessel and strainer do the trick. I'll go read your link now though. Maybe you'll win me over.

Chicago Media Prepares for Life After Ozzie
In 2004 Ozzie Guillen was hired as the new White Sox manager and quickly brought the south side franchise out of the Cubs shadow. Yes he led the Sox to 99 victories and a World Series championship in 2005 but that was only part of the reason the team grabbed headlines. Ozzie replaced an older, much more reserved manager in Jerry Manuel. His short fuse, willingness to say anything about anyone and humorous ...Read more ›

Bone-dry Punchestown watered for second day of festival
Heavens open over course in morning for the first time in a long while

Into every racing festival, a little rain must fall. The heavens opened over Punchestown this morning for the first time in a long while.
The bone-dry course was watered earlier in the morning for the second day of the National Hunt festival. The course owners had expected 40mm of rain over the weekend: they got 4mm.
Today was a complete contrast to the day before. The trackside thermometer recorded 22 degrees yesterday; it struggled to reach 12 degrees today as a cold wind and dark clouds lurked over the track.
The ice cream vans were largely deserted as the women shivered in their finery and many of the punters headed for the warmth of the pavilion bars.
Yesterday's attendance of 15,748 was slightly down on the equivalent day last year, but not bad given the day that was in it.
The feature race, the Bibby Financial Services Ireland Punchestown Gold Cup, was won by Boston Bob, the 5/2 Willie Mullins's trained nine-year-old from First Lieutenant, who ran out of steam going down the straight.
It was another triumph for jockey Ruby Walsh. Six weeks ago he broke yet another bone, this time in his arm, and missed the Grand National, but a period of intense rehabilitation got him right again.
That win and the one by Nicky Henderson's Beat That in another Grade One, the Irish Daily Mirror Novice Hurdle, made it a day for the punters.
Beat That, the heavily backed 11/8 favourite, set back the bookies €250,000, according to Coral spokeswoman Nicola McGeady.
Among those who turned out today were Fianna Fáil MEP candidates Pat "the Cope" Gallagher and Thomas Byrne, canvassing in the sprawling Midlands North-West constituency. Today the Taoiseach Enda Kenny is expected trackside to press the flesh.
Former EU commissioner Charlie McCreevy, Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary and JP McManus were also in attendance.
The former Liverpool manager Roy Evans and the former Everton manager Howard Kendall both turned up together for the races.
Kendall's son Simon lives in Naas. Evans will be hoping Liverpool will enjoy something of the luck he had today when he backed the first two winners of the day.
Evans said he loved coming to Ireland. "I just like the Irish hospitality and a few pints of Guinness," he said.
Liverpool's defeat to Chelsea last weekend has taken the club's quest for a first league title out of their hands. They will now hope that Everton can do them a favour by beating Manchester City next weekend.
"The red and the blue get on great together," explained Evans, "but it is a different story when it comes to the derbies."

We been so much influenced by technology these days that we are harming our health with it's over use. Yes, am talking about the desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. Almost of us have at least one of these, don't we? Along with the back pain due to the irregular posture while using desktops or laptops, we are hampering our eyes as well. Eyes, as we all know are the most vital part of our body without which our value seems to be lesser.
Whether it's for work, study or play, constant looking at the bright screens of laptops, desktops or mobiles is harmful to our eyes. It may cause blur vision, headaches and various eye problems. Because of the blue light emitted from the screens, it can affect our sleep patterns as well.
That is why below we have the collection of five such tools for keeping your eyes safe when working on screen.
1. F.lux
This tool is very simple and easy to set up. It helps to adapt the color of the screen to the time of the day. You can also change the intensity of the setting for strong or mild effect. F.lux will activate at the time of sundown and gradually change the screen to the tints of orange as night falls negating the effect of blue lights.
2. Protect Your Vision
If you forget to take rest while working on laptops then this app is a must for relaxing your eyes. It acts as a reminder app that will remind you to take short rest at certain periods of time. It comes with two recommendations. One says to take a 20 second break every 20 minutes of work by focusing on an object 20 feet away (20-20-20) and another says to take a 5 minute break every 60 minutes. You can also create your own custom break.
3. Awareness
This app is very interesting. It tells you to take a break in the sound of a Tibetan singing bowl. All you need to so is, set how long your work time is, the break time and the volume of the sound. The Awareness will then do the rest.
4. EyeLeo
EyeLeo is very useful for workaholics. It lives in your system tray with a mascot that will notify you of any incoming break. Your eyes are relaxed and eased with this EyeLoe. A strict mode will force you to take a break.
5. Shades
This app is for OS X. It will reside in the system preference once it is installed and when activates, a slider will appear that will apply a colored tint to your monitor.

The Long Road To The Hall of Fame
You might know Tony King for his past as a football player for the Buffalo Bills, or as a movie star in iconic films like "Shaft" or "Gordon's War". You might have seen his face touring the world next to Chuck D of the legendary hip hop group Public Enemy, whose security he's been in charge of for the past 20 years. Political activist and brother in faith of the Nation of Islam who has since changed his name into Malik Farrakhan, his life is a parable spanning the last 40 years of African-American history.
What we are going to tell is a story that goes deeper than the ocean.
In the 1960s, African-Americans faced moments of hardship in the struggle for civil rights alongside figures such as Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali Klai (Cassius Clay).
Tony King (Canton, Ohio. 1947), professional football player who then became a model and actor in New York, experienced these events firsthand.
Between 1965 and 1967, he was one of the first African-American professional football players on the Buffalo Bills team.
Tony and his brother Charlie King were the first African-American siblings to play in the AFL on the same team at the same time. Inspired by Malcolm X's biography and frustrated by the racial oppression his family endured, he soon decided to leave his hometown in Ohio and move to New York.
In the 70s, he established himself as a model, working with famous photographers worldwide; then as a Blaxploitation actor, starring in over 40 films. He also stood out as the only black actor in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather (1972). After a spiritual awakening, which led him to the Black activist community, he began working as security for Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan.
In the 80s, he officially became a member of the Nation of Islam, hence abandoning his "slave name" and becoming Malik Farrakhan.
He now works as head of security for Public Enemy, a legendary Hip Hop group that was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2013), and as bodyguard for Chuck D, founder and singer of the group.
In 2009, Malik and his brother Charlie King were elected to the prestigious (NFL) Pro Football Hall of Fame.

When [Latasha Harlins] entered Soon Ja Du's store in South Los Angeles, she was going to buy a bottle of orange juice. Du shot the teen-ager, after Du believed that Latasha was trying to steal the juice, Du's son said. A security camera videotape of the incident last Saturday reportedly shows otherwise. Police said the videotape corroborated witness accounts that Latasha had put the juice in her knapsack but was approaching the store counter with money in her hand. After a brief scuffle with Du, Latasha threw the orange juice on the counter and was heading out of the store when Du shot her in the back of the head, police said.

Overview of the Free Curricula Centre
The Free Curricula Centre (FCC) helps students worldwide reach their educational potential by developing and promoting open educational resources: university-level curricula that can be copied freely and modified cooperatively.
Specifically, FCC serves as a focal point for the development and sharing of textbooks, instructor guides, and other educational materials. These materials are released at no cost into the public domain or under a permissive license, allowing anyone to make and distribute copies, adapt the material, or otherwise maximise its potential without having to pay. In some cases adapted material must be released under the same terms, and in other cases it need not be.
The Centre helps its participants work together to create textbooks, instructor guides, and other materials for the subjects in which they have expertise. We do this by providing online tools to help educators collaborate successfully and by proving a space on the Internet where students can have free, easy access to their finished products. We also serve as a link to the resources of others, and mirror their material when permitted.
FCC's principal objective is to reduce to zero the cost of educational materials for students and learning institutions, especially but not exclusively at New World University. Students have acquiesced to textbooks required for their classes being a significant cost each term. Even at universities attended mostly by the wealthy one sees a burgeoning trade in used and pirated textbooks. Many institutions around the world operate as best they can with extremely limited funds, serving students without the means to expend a great deal. Colleges in wealthy countries that serve disadvantages populations, universities in low and middle income countries, and any other institution accustomed to doing more with less can well appreciate one of its students' principal costs being lessened or even eliminated.
In short, the Centre wants to do for educational curricula what open source software has done for computing: focus cooperative efforts to bring about low cost, high quality alternatives to commercial products.

Following Microsoft's big Xbox One reveal three weeks ago, company executives began putting out contradicting and worrying statements about the new console's DRM and used game policies. Microsoft has since confirmed many of the worst parts of the rumors. The company, determined not to let another such messaging fiasco take place, promptly cancelled all of its executives' E3 interviews.
One Microsoft exec, however, did give an interview to GameTrailers shortly before the company's big E3 presentation. Don Mattrick, president of Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft, revealed that Microsoft was, in fact, not considering gamers with internet connections when designing the Xbox One.
"Look, we designed something that's great," said Mattrick. "It is, at its core, a games box. And, we've innovated for what we think are the appropriate scenarios moving forward."
Implying, of course, that Microsoft believes offline gaming is an inappropriate scenario for the future. Mattrick continued:
"I think people are gonna love it, and then they're gonna understand what we're trying to create and how it links games and entertainment, the functionality of the box, some of the advantages that you get of having a box that is designed to use an online state. So that, to me, is a future-proof choice and I think people could have arguably gone the other way if we didn't do it, and fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity - it's called Xbox 360."
This seems to be Microsoft's message to those who don't have a reliable internet access. Stick with the 360. Nevermind the fact that Sony's new console will work perfectly fine as an offline games device, and for $100 less.
Mattrick did go on to cite the scenario that has taken center-stage in the debate about the Xbox One's DRM: military members stationed in places that lack internet. Mattrick stated that if he was stationed on a submarine he would be "disappointed."
That hasn't deterred Microsoft, however, and the company shows no signs of backing down on its policies. Mattrick emphasized that Microsoft believes the future of gaming is in always-connected experiences, and used smartphones as an example of a technology that has made a huge connectivity leap in recent years. (Again, nevermind the fact that Angry Birds will still work on a phone that hasn't been connected to the internet in the past 24 hours.)
Microsoft may be right in predicting that in 10 years services such as Google Fiber will have rolled out across the U.S., bringing a reliable, affordable high-speed connection to all parts of the country. For now, though, millions of Americans will not be able to use the Xbox One as a gaming machine when it launches in November.

Hi Everyone,
I dinged 90 with my Paladin this weekend and healed the first 2 lfr raids yesterday. I am currently gearing up for supporting our guilds 25 man raid. I started playing with Eternal Flame when I farmed the 5 man instances and I really do like and use it alot there. How ever, using asingle target spell in a group of 25 people to counter heal raid wide damage feels wierd. I ended up using it on the tanks or when capping HP in phases without raid damage but switched to LoD otherwise. Do you guys use LoD to consume your holy power in 25man or do you strictly stick with EF?
Best regards
