Scott Brown calls on Akin to drop out of Missouri Senate race
In a rare intra-party rebuke, Senator Scott Brown called on Representative Todd Akin, of Missouri, on Monday to withdraw from the US Senate race in his state, after Akin suggested that women's bodies can somehow prevent pregnancy in cases of rape.
Brown was among the first prominent Republicans to call for Akin to end his Senate bid. In doing so, Brown jumped ahead of the issue before his opponent, Elizabeth Warren, and fellow Democrats began a concerted effort to tie him to the controversy.
It was the second time in as many weeks that Brown found himself on the defensive about a fellow Republican, illustrating the predicament Brown faces as a moderate in a party that is growing increasingly conservative.
Last week, Brown attempted to distance his policy beliefs from Paul Ryan, after the Wisconsin congressman was chosen as Mitt Romney's running mate. Brown praised Ryan for raising important fiscal issues, but was careful to point out that he has opposed the congressman's budget, which Democrats have attacked for its cutbacks in social programs and entitlements.
In both cases, Democrats had tried to tie Brown to the congressmen, making the argument that his own reelection would help Republicans control the national agenda.
The most recent incident came after Akin said in a Missouri television interview on Sunday that pregnancy among rape victims is "really rare,'' an argument he made to buttress his opposition to legalized abortion in most cases.
"If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down,'' Akin said. He later said he misspoke.
The comments stirred outrage and quick condemnation from both sides of the political aisle. Brown, who favors legalized abortion, released a statement early Monday on Twitter condemning the remarks. He followed it up later Monday morning with a more direct statement, calling on Akin to leave the race.
"As a husband and father of two young women, I found Todd Akin's comments about women and rape outrageous, inappropriate and wrong,'' Brown said. "There is no place in our public discourse for this type of offensive thinking. Not only should he apologize, but I believe Rep. Akin's statement was so far out of bounds that he should resign the nomination for US Senate in Missouri.''
Warren soon issued her own press release, trying to keep pressure on Brown. She cited the senator's support earlier this year for the Blunt Amendment, which allows employers to deny health coverage for certain procedures and drugs if they have a moral opposition to them, as well as Brown's opposition to a measure intended to guarantee equal pay for women in the workplace.
"Akin's comments are reprehensible,'' Warren said. "I understand that Scott Brown and other Republicans want to pretend Todd Akin is an isolated individual, but he is clearly in line with the Republican agenda…Brown has been right in the middle of this.''
The Massachusetts Democratic Party later added that Brown's political action committee had made $20,000 in contributions to four House members who cosponsored the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. The act, among other things, would redefine rape to mean "forcible rape,'' which was not defined in the bill. But opponents said it would prevent victims of statutory rape and other crimes from receiving abortions paid for with federal funds. Brown's campaign said Monday that the senator opposes the measure.
Weighing in on the controversy fits into both candidates' strategies. Brown, hoping to reinforce his independent image, has been trying to distance himself from the conservative wing of his party on some social issues. Warren has tried to characterize Brown and other Republicans as out of touch on women's issues. On Sunday, she kicked off "Women for Warren Week'' and plans to release a report on Tuesday criticizing the Ryan budget as bad for women.
But Brown faces pressure on social issues from both sides. Monday, Tony Perkins, the president of the conservative Family Research Council, told reporters that Brown was "off the reservation on a number of Republican issues, conservative issues,'' according to the website BuzzFeed.
"I have not seen Scott Brown's statement, but he should be careful,'' said Perkins, who was in Florida for the Republican National Committee's platform committee discussions.
"His support among conservatives is very shallow,'' he added.

One of the earliest stages of literacy development is reading and writing print from the world around us. Street signs, cereal boxes, and billboards all provide opportunities for emerging readers to interact with words. In this lesson, students read words found on everyday objects and use them to identify individual letters. They then create captions for an electronic book with preselected logos and illustrations. Finally, they create an original little book choosing their own logos, captions, and images.
Prior, J., & Gerard, M.R. (2004). Environmental print in the classroom: Meaningful connections for learning to read. Newark, DE: International Reading Association.
- High-impact environmental print symbols are the first exposure young children have to the code system of written symbols.
- Research indicates that children must construct a "cognitive anchor" for mapping sounds onto written code symbols. Environmental print can be this anchor.
- Adult instruction is the key element to effectively using environmental print to teach beginning reading skills. When an adult draws attention to the letters and sounds in environmental print words, children are more likely to transfer this knowledge to decontextualized print (text without graphics).

I have spent the past couple of days in a part of our country that still finds triple-digit temperatures the norm this time of year. I DO NOT, nor does my multiple sclerosis, find anything "normal" about 104°F, "dry heat" or not!
I head home over the weekend, so I hope this will all pass, but I'm experiencing a kind of MS stupidity with all this heat.
I can't seem to put my finger on words, my reactions times are off, and I just feel a little silly.
The physical stuff -- doughy face, slow-responding arm, and even slower leg -- I expected and can understand. This whole MS "in my head space" thing is very new to me.
I've found myself being the last one to laugh at something funny or to chime in on a conversation. It's like I'm a half-step behind the whole world as of today. To be honest, I just looked up and saw that I had almost completely rewritten a sentence above just now… It's that kind of thing.
I'd better sign off before I simply write the first blog that loops back upon itself…
So, let's hear it folks. Has multiple sclerosis ever made you feel loopy, out of touch with the rest of the world, mentally "off"?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

DETROIT -- Detroit centerfielder Austin Jackson has been put on the 15-day disabled list because of a pulled right hamstring.
The team announced the move Monday. It is retroactive to Sunday, when Jackson missed a game against Cleveland following the injury. The Tigers recalled outfielder Avisail Garcia from Triple-A Toledo.
Jackson is hitting .272 with a team-high five steals. Detroit must now play on with a new leadoff hitter -- and the Tigers will miss Jackson's defense in the spacious outfield at Comerica Park.
Garcia hit .319 in 47 at-bats toward the end of last season, playing well enough that he made Detroit's postseason roster.

I have been spending far too much of my time over the last week or so playing Angry Birds. It's a simple, clever, and addictive game which seems to have captivated large part of the human population (just yesterday, I heard a woman on the subway exclaim: "Take that, you %$!# pigs!"). Along with immense popularity, the game has also brought in millions upon millions of dollars for Rovio, the Finnish game company who created the concept and built the game. Though exact figures are unclear, the game has had upwards of 50M downloads, and brings in $1M per month in ad revenue alone. It's likely that Angry Birds has made upwards of 100 million dollars.
For those that haven't played, the gameplay is straight-forward: you launch birds out of a slingshot, in an attempt to collapse structures that are protecting egg-thieving pigs (it's more fun that it sounds). A large part of the effectiveness of the game comes from the fact that these structures – built from blocks, triangles, and cylinders of various materials, react with realistic physics; the blocks knock each other over, the cylinders roll down hills, and the triangles act as convenient ramps.
I can't say this for sure, but it's very very likely that Angry Birds is built on top of Erin Catto's excellent Box2D physics engine. Box2D is a set of libraries for C++ which makes it easy to build rigid body physics simulations – which is, essentially, what Angry Birds is. [EDIT: It has been confirmed that Angry Birds does in fact use Box2D]
Box2D is released with a very liberal open source license – it can basically be used by anyone, for anything. The only requirement is that, if and when source is released, the code has to be attributed to Erin, and can't be claimed as original. There is absolutely no legal requirement for anyone using Box2D to pay for it in any way.
But is there an ethical requirement? The founders of Rovio are very, very, very rich men – thanks to Angry Birds. If, indeed, Angry Birds relies as heavily on Box2D as I suspect, they are also very, very, very rich men thanks to Erin and Box2D.
I've often thought of open source as a gratitude economy – people maintain and distribute projects largely because they are fueled by the thanks that they receive. By releasing Box2D with such a generous license, Erin Catto was clearly aware that he wouldn't be profiting from its use. Likely, he's been happy seeing his project used in so many interesting ways. I can't imagine that he ever expected someone to make such a ridiculous fortune from his code, on the scale of Rovio and Angry Birds.
Of course, Rovio
may have built their own physics engine for Angry Birds. And, even if they didn't, they are perfectly within their rights to keep every penny, and not say a word about Erin or about Box2D.
With Christmas just around the corner, though, I can't help but imagine an ideal world – in which Erin Catto receives some kind of an unexpected bonus. An open source holiday wish?

Hotel Palacio Azul
Palacio Azul Restaurant
Twin Room At Palacio Azul
The intimate Hotel Encanto Palacio Azul (painted powder blue) was originally built in 1921 by an architect Alfredo Fontana and used to be a private residence of a wealthy tobacco baron. Only in 2004 was the neo-classical water-front mansion, capped by a Mughal-style domed turret, renovated into a lovely, colonial style hotel.
The ambiance throughout clings to the hotel's 1920s roots. A restoration has left the structure and its highlights, such as the colonial style tile floors, intact. And the lofty ceilings lend a sense of airy spaciousness. The bedrooms are named after flowers; on the ground floor there is Marilope, Azucena and Mariposa' while Orquidea, Dalia, Verbena and Margarita are on the second floor. The modest furnishings in subdued pastels are a tad bland, but the rooms are comfy enough and have both air-conditioning and en-suite bathrooms with shower-tubs. Satellite TV, refrigerators, and in-room safes are standard. Rooms on the second floor are the best bargain, especially Dahlia, which has fine view over the bay. Six of the rooms have balconies (Mariposa does not).
Facilities are limited to a a lobby bar and small restaurant serving from a limited criolla and continental menu. But Palacio Azul is located on the Malecón boulevard next door to the Cienfuegos Yacht Club with billiards bar, restaurant, and nightclub. It is just a short walk from Cienfuegos' main square, which makes it ideal place for tourists who wish to explore the famous city, its culture, architecture, traditions and customs.

Andrew wrote:December 12th, 2016: Nothing's Coming Up THRILLHOYes, I'm going to talk about 2K Pro-Am again, and the ongoing attempts of NLSC THRILLHO to unlock logo importing. As I've mentioned in previous articles and on the NLSC Podcast, we've been enjoying the mode enough to get online for several sessions per week, but we've also had our fair share of frustrating moments. While we have to take responsibility for some of them - we've definitely made our fair share of mistakes, after all - there have been times when it's felt like the game is out to get us. Maybe it's the "NBA Live Series Center" text on our court; perhaps we should change that, if we want fairer treatment?
In all seriousness, I've made a point of saving clips of many of those moments, usually for the purposes of bug reports and Wishlist feedback. However, it's gotten to the point where I can put together a "Shaqtin' a Fool" type of reel, showcasing the times where NBA 2K17 made our jaws drop for all the wrong reasons. Since THRILLHO is a blatant reference to The Simpsons, it only made sense to title it after another memorable Milhouse quote. Without any further ado, please enjoy a highlight reel of the best of our worst, from bloopers to bugs, and several other frustrating and bizarre moments in between!
Wow, just saw this video. So many of the things I mentioned in that big thread on gameplay are showing here. The charging issue, the horrible passing issue... That's the stuff that I can't believe got passed production, and hasn't been patched out. Those are literally game flow/pace breakers.
Ive been saving highlights of that stuff as well because they happen every game, and have thought about putting a compilation together. These issues are in all modes...

[Africa News Update]
Fearing that the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meetings may have been postponed or cancelled due to recent devastating floods in the northern part of the country, the Uganda government delayed declaring the crisis an emergency, the leading opposition leader has charged, before a London audience.
Additionally, the opposition leader denounced Yoweri K. Museveni's government for spending millions of dollars to host the summit next month even as floods victims suffer. He said deteriorating conditions may push people towards armed uprising.
Dr. Kizza Besigye, the leader of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), whom many believe actually won Uganda's last presidential elections says the flooding disaster has exposed Museveni's government as being indifferent to the plight of its own citizens.
"Museveni's government is spending more than 160 billions shilling to buy expensive wines and Champagne for the Queen, whilst there is no money even to help its own people who are dying of the floods in northern Uganda," Dr. Besigye declared to a packed audience at in Conway Hall, Holborn-Central London on Saturday, October 6. "It's very shameful."
His reference was to Queen Elizabeth II's impending visit to Uganda in November to open the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
Dr. Besigye added: ""This is disgusting, because the government has money to buy wine for Queen and CHOGM delegates but no money to rescue the flood victims."
The government has imported a fleet of sleek automobiles to ferry the world leaders when they arrive there next month and also built luxury accommodations, all costing several hundred million dollars.
The FDC leaders contrasted the money reserved for the Commonwealth meetings with funds for the flood victims. "Although the CHOGM money is available, Museveni was recently involved in a walk to fundraise just only 10 billions for flood victims in northern Uganda—a sign of bad government which doesn't cater for its own people."
"The government took so long to declare the northern flood situation as a state of emergency with the fear that such news would jeopardize CHOGM or would lead to its cancellation, they delayed and our people suffered."
To clear the way for Commonwealth construction,
One parent noted that with the recent discovery of oil in Uganda, "you're going to see another Kamuzu-Banda," a reference to the late Malawi president-for-life.
Dr. Besigye, a former member of Museveni's National Resistance Army, fought with the Ugandan president in the guerrilla war that helped topple Milton Obote's government. Museveni won power in 1986. Dr. Besigye, once Museveni's personal physician, says Museveni's government is worse that the Obote government and he apologized to all people affected and expressed regrets for participating in the armed struggle.
"It's the duty of the leaders to inform the citizens about their human rights. And all Ugandans need to be more assertive," says Dr. Besigye.
A prominent Ugandan, Princesses Sarah Male Kamulali, asked Dr. Besigye whether the resistance might have been better served if he had refused to be released following his detention in the run up to the presidential elections on trumped up charges. She noted that former South African President Nelson Mandela and the late Abu Kakyama Mayanja, Uganda's former Justice Minister, had galvanized opposition in their respective countries while they were detained.
In response to a question Dr. Besgiye said, indeed, no strategy—including armed resistance—could be taken off in establishing democracy in Uganda.
"We can't completely rule out option of plan B if at all, all other options fails. If all options available for changing the situation in Uganda are exhausted, there will be no alternative but for the people to resort to violence," Dr. Besigye said. "But violence might not solve the problems in Uganda if people are not educated about their rights."
"We established the human rights desk to deal with people problems regarding persecution of any kind any where in the world—our office desk contacts will be posted on the website so that each one can access the information," Dr. Besigye noted.
In an interesting twist, FDC International Envoy, Sam Akaki told the gathering that the Commonwealth in its 1980 election reports, "stated clearly that, the elections were free and fair," yet it "failed to condemn the rebellion which started on pretext of rigged elections." He added: "The Commonwealth kept quite which means they approved the rebellion and people started fighting in Luwero. Now they are going to Uganda in November and we don't know what will be next."
The gathering had several speakers including; the Party's Vice President Salaam Musumba, Electoral Commissioner Maj. Rubaramira Ruranga, and retired Col. John Ogole, who was leader when the UNLA battled the NRA in Luwero Triangle, the party's coordinator in the UK and Northern Ireland Charles Okwir and G-6 Chairman Prince Dickson Wassajja.

Cascade Brewing Barrel House in SE Portland. On the Saturday evening in Portland I was cream-crackered after a day of sketching, and stayed in my hotel watching the San Francisco Giants storing their way through Game Three of the World Series. It was relaxing, I wrote a couple of postcards and finished off some sketches. I popped down to the hotel lobby to access something called the internet, and watched an inning or so at the hotel bar over a beer, listening to large-haired ladies talking in sour tones about their colleagues, while a baseball-capped business-man offered idle chat about the political attack ads being the same here as they are 'back home', and all of them being lies, lies and more lies. Occasionally, groups of costumed people wafted by and disappeared into the halloween partying night. Well, fun though that was, lying in bed watching the baseball was significantly better.
When the baseball was over, however, I was feeling nice and relaxed, and considered staying in and watching a Thor cartoon on my iPod. However apparently Portland is a really fun and interesting place with exceptionally good beers, and so I popped out to the streetcar stop and headed south. I had a Map full of Things to Do, courtesy of my Portland sketching friend Kalina who had prior to my trip put together an extensive list of things I might like to do on a Google Map, for which I am eternally grateful. One place I thought I'd head to was Cascade, a small independent brewery which has an excellent reputation for craft beer, particularly its sours. I wasn't sure I fancied a sour, having not really liked the one I'd had from Russian River that time all that much, and opted for a Dunkel Weizen, followed by a Belgian Amber. It wasn't super busy, but those present were of course all extremely beer-knowledgable and more than happy to impart their wisdom (as was everyone in Portland). When I was done, they recommended another nearby place, the Green Dragon (which was also on my To Go To list) and so I headed on over, and was massively impressed by the selection, though also intimidated, and clearly needed help. Fortunately the excellent staff there showed me the way, and gave me (to use their word) a good "beer-ducation" (cheers Nick et al!). Portland is like the University of Craft Beer, a great place for beer-ducation.

A Cardiff University-led study has discovered that a protein provides protection against the effects of alcohol in the pancreas.
The findings of the study, funded by the Medical Research Council, could lead to the development of new treatments to reduce the chances of people developing pancreatic cancer.
The protein, calmodulin, is involved in the basic processes that take place in all cells, the building blocks of the body. This study reveals that when calmodulin is missing from cells in the pancreas, alcohol has a much greater toxic effect as a chain reaction which causes cells to self destruct speeds up. This can lead to inflammation (pancreatitis), which in the long-term significantly increases the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is the fifth most common cause of death through cancer, and only three per cent of patients survive beyond five years.
The study team, led by Professor Ole Petersen in the MRC Group at Cardiff University's School of Biosciences, found that calmodulin protects pancreatic cells against alcohol's toxic effects when it is activated by another small protein, CALP-3.
Professor Petersen said: "There is still much uncertainty about how alcohol damages cells in the body. However, we have found a new and unexpected way that pancreatic cells protect themselves. We suggest that activation of the calmodulin protein protects against the development of pancreatitis. There is a strong correlation between alcohol intake and incidence of pancreatitis, and we hope that our new findings will eventually lead to the development of drugs to combat this. This is a key step forward."
Professor John Iredale, Head of the University of Edinburgh/MRC Centre for Inflammation Research, remarked: "This is a really important finding. Acute pancreatitis, which is currently untreatable, remains an important cause of death. It is important also to recognise that this disabling disease may result from binge drinking. The MRC is committed to understanding inflammation - especially in examples with serious implications like this. We focus on driving the translation of discoveries from basic science into benefits for human health."
The study is reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and was carried out in collaboration with researchers from the University of Liverpool, the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan and the Japanese Science and Technology Agency.
