Madison County Board overrules firefighters to replace board member
Firefighters protest Madison County Board vote to replace board member
A month after State Park firefighters convinced the Madison County Board not to replace their longtime board member, the measure came back and was approved despite their protests.
In April, County Board Chairman Kurt Prenzler proposed replacing Bill Ellis on the State Park Fire Department board with Jimmy Wells, at the recommendation of board member Helen Hawkins. But State Park firefighters protested at the board meeting on Ellis' behalf, stating that he had been a strong supporter of the fire department and had been recommended by board member Gussie Glasper, D-Madison, who represents their area.
"I think it's a joke," said State Park Fire Chief Herb Simmons. He said he believes Hawkins is "in Prenzler's pocket" and should not have interceded in the fire board's representation.
"I have nothing against Curtis Outland, nothing at all," he said. "But he has no firefighting experience, that's my problem."
Hawkins did not represent their area, and fire chief Herb Simmons said he could not understand why Hawkins' recommendation overruled their wishes and Glasper's recommendation.
Board members voted against Prenzler's recommendation in April, but the measure returned at Wednesday's meeting, this time recommending Curtis Outland to replace Ellis.
Once again, State Park firefighters lined the room in support of Ellis, at least two holding signs reading, "Firefighters and their families are registered voters."
Several board members said they didn't understand why Prenzler insisted on replacing Ellis. "(Ellis) is doing a fine job and they support him," said board member Michael Parkinson, D-Granite City. "This is the second month in a row, we keep putting in another name. ... The board should clearly speak tonight and back these firemen on this. They clearly want this guy and they're fighting hard to keep their man."
The firefighters responded with applause.
Board member Art Asadorian, D-Granite City, said as a former firefighter, he was concerned that Outland did not have any firefighting experience. He pointed out that the firefighters are volunteers and their opinion should be respected.
"I've heard from a lot of the firemen and my support remains for Bill Ellis," Glasper said.
Board member Michael "Doc" Holliday, D-Alton, said he believed the board should honor the tradition that the representative board member's recommendation is honored. But board member Michael Walters, R-Godfrey, disagreed. "There have been many times when Republicans requested someone and did not get what they wanted," Walters said.
"I thought this was a nonpartisan position," replied board member Kristen Novacich, D-Granite City.
Prenzler said he chose Outland because Hawkins and board member Lisa Ciampoli, R-Collinsville, believe he is "an ethical individual who can add something to that fire district."
The board narrowly approved Outland 14-12, with two board members absent and Judy Kuhn, R-Trenton, abstaining because she had questions that she said she was not allowed to ask.
In other news, the board unanimously approved Hawkins to replace Jim Pennekamp on the Metro-East Sanitary District.
Hawkins had sought the position on the board in 2015 when chairman Andy Economy resigned hours ahead of being removed by the county board after allegations of corruption. Prior chairman Alan Dunstan instead nominated Pennekamp, who was president of the Madison County Flood Prevention District and had recently retired as executive director of University Park and special assistant to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville's chancellor for regional economic development.
Earlier this week, Prenzler announced that he had asked Pennekamp and two other board members to resign to put in his "own team" on the board, essentially replacing all of Madison County's representation. Sanitation district board members are paid about $15,000 a year.
Prenzler said he knew Hawkins considered stormwater management her primary issue, and congratulated her. The board gave her a standing ovation for her years of service; as a sanitation district board member, she will no longer be able to serve on the county board.
"We are a lot better than we were in the '60s and early '70s," Hawkins said. "But we've got a little ways to go, and I appreciate the opportunity to serve my passion."
Pennekamp could not be reached for comment.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announced the creation of the National Emergency Management Service that will replace the General Secretariat for Civil Protection.
Mr. Tsipras pointed out that the tragedy at Mati showed that a radical overhaul of the emergency management system is needed, based on the standards of the most advanced and experienced countries in this field.
This new agency will integrate, as part of its operation, all available national scientific, operational, administrative and human resources, it will interconnect scientific forecasting and risk analysis models with political decisions and will be responsible for operational coordination of all parties, in all different phases.
It will be an independent agency that will be hierarchically assigned to the Ministry of the Interior and headed by a person with proven scientific experience and skills.
The resources for the new agency will come from the European Investment Bank, the European Union-subsidized National Strategic Reference Framework, as well as Greece's public investment program, and will amount to 500 million euros.

Calculating trajectories for Apollo program
The required angular momentum, translated to velocity at the distance of the Moon, works out to be around 600 f/s. This should not be altered if we expect to achieve the kind of grazing entry required for a manned mission. Suppose, however, that we design an orbit that leaves the Moon with zero velocity. Then it should reenter the Earth, with a vertical entry--fatal for astronauts, but not for instruments. Even if our errors impart as much as 600 f/s of unplanned velocity, we will still enter the Earth's atmosphere and land, somewhere. If you don't care where, this peculiar class of trajectories allows one to fly to the Moon and back, even with the crude guidance of the old Scout. Of course, the mission never flew, so the trajectory is now nothing more than a footnote to space history. But an interesting one, nevertheless.
In 1961 I moved to General Electric in Philadelphia, where they had landed a study contract for Apollo and were also planning to bid on the hardware contract. I was responsible for all the generation of nominal trajectories for those efforts. I did similar stuff for lunar missions that never flew or flew with radically altered plans; the names of projects Surveyor and Prospector come to mind.
I think I did some of my very best work at GE. Generating a lunar trajectory is not easy. The problem is a two-point boundary-value problem, complicated by the fact that both points (the launch and return sites) are fixed on a rotating Earth, and we have the "minor" midpoint constraint that the trajectory come somewhere near the Moon. We quickly learned that simply trying to guess at suitable launch conditions was a hopeless venture. Therefore a large part of my energies went into building quite a number of patched-conic approximations, programs to solve the complicated spherical trig, front-end and back-end processors, and "wrappers" for GE's N-Body program. My crowning achievement was a fully automated program that required only the barest minimum of inputs, such as the coordinates of the launch and landing points, plus a few other things such as year of departure, lunar miss distance, and lighting conditions at both the Moon and Earth reentry. The program would then seek out the optimal, minimum-energy trajectory that would meet the constraints.
I was also asked to study the problem of returning from the Moon to the Earth. Thanks to my experience with approximate methods, I knew exactly how to do this: Give the spacecraft a tangential velocity of about 600 f/s, relative to the Moon. From that desired end, it's fairly easy to figure out what sort of launch one needs at the Moon's surface. We generated quite a number of trajectories, both approximate and exact, that effected the Moon-to-Earth transfer. As far as I know, they were the first such studies ever done.
During this same period, I was developing a method for computing nearly parabolic orbits. The classical two-body theory upon which all approximate methods are based has three distinct solutions, depending upon whether the orbit is elliptic, parabolic, or hyperbolic. The equations for the elliptic and hyperbolic cases all go singular for an eccentricity of one. Unfortunately, that's exactly the kind of orbits involved in translunar missions. It drove both the computers and their programmers crazy, trying to solve problems so close to a singularity. I developed a set of power series solutions based on Herrick's "Unified Two-Body Theory." Though Herrick's original formulation was unsatisfactory (his functions required two arguments), it was a rather short step to replace them by new functions that used only one argument. Between 1961 and 1963, I published quite a number of papers on these functions, most of them internal to GE and widely distributed within NASA. I was also busily putting them to work in trajectory generators. Unfortunately for me, I never managed to get credit for them; you'll find them today in astrodynamics texts, called the Lemon-Battin functions.

Both palyers have been presented before the observers of Novara Calcio, Monza and Legnano as part of the PIP (Pro Intern Program) of the Italian Soccer Academy. This opportunity has enabled both players to measure up to high level players of the clubs they appeared before and obtain valuable information regarding their own conditions. This process has allowed each player to take a close look at their probabilities as future professional players and what it takes to get to that point. The Pro Intern Program is where expectation meets reality. In the next several days, both, players and their parents, will be briefed on the players' true current conditions, on what their expectation should be based on what they have shown and the road to follow in pursuit of their goals, with the support of the Italians Soccer Academy.
Alejandro Molina & Juan Davila have entered their 3rd and final week of their Pro Intern Program.

In the pipeline - DIY Plumbing Tip #7 -Do I Really Need a Plumber
March 06 2014
'Do I REALLY need a plumber?'
Even the handiest of handymen or women need to call on a professional from time to time to ensure the job gets done right whether it be an emergency or just the odd tweak or repair.
Below are just a few situations where it's best to call on a plumbers expertise, saving you time and in a lot of cases money further down the track.
· Low water pressure: There are many factors that can contribute to the loss of water pressure throughout a house: Debris or rust in the water line/s causing obstructions. A pinpoint or larger burst on the supply line (causing goodness knows what damage!) or it could be down to poor supply line design or even low pressure from the council supply.
In any of the cases above a good plumber such as the leak detection specialists at Webb Plumbing are able to analyse the problem. They can then create an action plan in order to improve your water pressure.
· No hot water supply: It may seem like an obvious problem, but if you can't see that the hot water tank has burst and is leaking, it can take a bit of investigation to work out why it's happened. Gas hot water services have thermocouple igniters that can fail or burners/pilots that require fixing.. Electric unit could have either a faulty heating element, thermostat or overflow switch, a blown fuse or a tripped circuit-breaker.
For this kind of issue it's always going to be in your favour to engage plumbers in Melbourne with experience. Webb Plumbing can advise whether the unit will need to be replaced or if it simply an issue regarding a part. Webb can also arrange to remove the faulty unit and order, install and commission your new hot water service. We can also simply service or replace any required parts and our local plumber in Melbourne is there to help.
· Blocked/Overflowing sewer: This is never a pleasant situation to find yourself and one which is also best left to the experts when you've exhausted all the tricks in your bag. Blocked drains Melbourne can occur due to either an obstruction that has lodged in the line, tree root entry which is extremely common or a break or collapse of the drain itself.
All of our plumbers at Webb Plumbing are very experienced in working with blocked drains in Melbourne and unblocking drains or replacing them. We have CCTV cameras which can identify the problem, drain clearance machinery to clear any blockages, cut away tree roots and the knowledge to create a plan of action if replacement is required.
There is also the added bonus of having someone else deal with the clean-up efficiently, effectively and hygienically when dealing with a blocked drain Melbourne.
Webb Plumbing is available for emergency plumbing services from Frankston to Fitzroy, Doveton to Deepdene, surrounding suburbs and anywhere in between.

Andy Murray says he will see how he copes with playing competitively at the US Open before making a decision on his future plans. The Scot has not featured at a Grand Slam since losing to Sam Querrey in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon in 2017.
He was forced to undergo surgery after struggling with a hip injury but after some warm-up tournaments, he feels ready to go at the US Open next week.
Murray will take on Australia's James Duckworth on Monday but he admits his participation at Flushing Meadows could alter his plans for the rest of the year.
"Having not played a five-set match for a long time, I won't know how my body will cope with that until I actually get there and do it," Murray told the BBC.
"I'm sure I'll be able to tough it out if I need to – but it might not be particularly comfortable. That's something I will find out if I'm in that situation.
"It is important for me to go through that and see exactly where I'm at, to see how I feel after playing an extremely long match. That will inform what I do over the next few months as well, maybe show I need to adjust things building up to Australia next year.
"I'm glad to be back competing in a Slam and it's going to be positive for me putting myself in that position again."

No dice; it's locked. You aren't sure why you even bothered, really. If your adventure starts out in a small room with a single door, of course it's going to be locked.
On the other hand, after mulling it over a bit, you decide that if you hadn't checked, you're pretty sure it would have turned out not to be locked in the first place after several hours of screwing around.

Vancouver to improve legal landscape for farming on residential lands
The City of Vancouver is pursuing changes to bylaws and regulations that will rescue commercial urban agriculture from its legal limbo.
A team of city staff members has convened with the goal of removing the legal impediments to farming on both public and private land, according to Coun. Andrea Reimer.
"We have a strong commitment under the Greenest City Action Plan to encourage local food production," said Reimer.
Two of the 10 goals of the Greenest City plan are to promote a green economy and enhance access to local food. Urban farming does both.
The city has done everything possible to promote commercial urban agriculture — despite its murky legal status —as an unofficial pilot project that will guide substantial changes to the rules, Reimer said.
Prohibitions against businesses operating on land zoned for residential uses and a tangle of bylaws passed to discourage illegal marijuana-growing operations will have to be overhauled, she said.
"Those same laws would prohibit growing lettuce indoors on commercially zoned land, but that's being done now all over the world," Reimer said.
In addition, the city's business licensing system does not recognize commercial urban agriculture as a business.
"We know there are successful commercial enterprises in the city of Vancouver that are using front and back yards for urban agriculture and to the best of my knowledge we haven't had any complaints," said Reimer. "The neighbours aren't distinguishing that activity from you or I gardening in our yards, which is really encouraging."
Despite the city's tacit support for their work, urban farmers are nervous about operating outside the law.
Urban farmer Emi Do of Yummy Yards cultivates vegetables on both residential land and agricultural land in Vancouver and Burnaby, but takes pains to characterize her work on residential lots as "edible landscaping."
Do uses the vegetables she harvests from her clients on urban residential lots to reward interns, employees and the homeowners who make their yards available, rather than sell them and risk legal sanction.
She grows crops that she sells on agricultural land in Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond.
"In residential-zoned yards in Vancouver I can't produce food for sale," she said. "I'm providing a landscaping service."
About half a dozen farmers are commercially cultivating crops on residential lots in Vancouver for sale at farmers' markets and through small organic produce cooperatives, all without city business licences.
Lawmakers all over North America are scrambling to keep up with the urban agriculture movement, according to Michael Levenston of the local website City Farmer (cityfarmer.info).
"We are in a new time," he said. "With young people growing food commercially in the city it has put a whole new focus on what can be done with an urban landscape and they are certainly pushing the legal limits."
Political leaders are beginning to make the connection between access to fresh foods and the fight against obesity, he said.
A recent city-sponsored forum of city councillors, staff, urban farmers and academics helped create a roadmap to change for city staff.
"The number of urban farms in Vancouver is increasing and these green businesses are leading the way in developing economically viable food production models for the urban environment," according to the report on the Vancouver Urban Farming Forum held late last year.
Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle and Milwaukee all regulate urban farming and have had to create a new legal environment to accommodate the new industry, the report notes.
In addition to bylaw and licensing changes, the city's goals include the creation of a land inventory to expand the footprint of urban agriculture and a 400-per-cent increase in the number of urban farms by 2020.

Senior News & Blog
Seniors' Bill of Rights
Who Do We Serve?
ASA's serve seniors and their families by transforming a typically stressful, hectic transition into a stress-free guilt-free, reduced-anxiety process. ASA's also serve retirement residences in their local areas, in several ways. ASA's work closely with people in many professions, including lawyers, senior move managers, financial planners, bank staff, accountants, estate planners, auctioneers, aging-in-place contractors, etc. The primary goal of an ASA is to assist seniors in coming to the best decision for their circumstances, which may or may not involve the sale of their home.
The ASA Mission and Purpose
An ASA designee's mission is to fulfill the mandate "Making Seniors Matter Again". In this hectic world, with people leading crazy-busy lives, it seems that seniors in our society are the first to be forgotten. It's not done maliciously; it just happens. As younger generations are racing through their lives, it seems we take if for granted that seniors can take care of themselves; and many of them can't. Take a step back and think of the relationship you had with your grandparents, and compare It to how different the relationship your children have with their grandparents is. It matters.

Comfortable & Chic
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I absolutely love these boots - I can wear these out to dinner or drinks with jeans or to the mountain with snow pants.. love the versatility. They are functional but also fashionable at the same time - super waterproof, durable, and warm. Highly recommend as an all around winter boot.
I have been searching for years for a boot that looks like this. They always seem to be brown or neutral colors. I just wanted black and red, waterproof, and supportive for hiking with pups and these are everything! I feel secure when going up or downhill and my feet are always dry. I wear them with everything! I usually am between a 7.5 to 8, but consistently an 8 with Sorel boots.
Great Cute Boots
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got these boots in a 7 and could have maybe done a size 7.5 as they do run narrow, and I have a narrow foot! However luckily after wearing them a couple times they have broken in a bit and now fit just right. If you have a wider foot I would recommend sizing up as they do run a bit small and narrow
Oh my goshhhh
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I always wanted to get the cool trendy thing but I never want to get something that isn't original. I loved that these were low profile with no heel. I loved the touch of red laces. I figured I would get a half size up from my typical size. I usually am a 7.5 but occasionally I get a size 8. I have a wide forefoot. These were almost too narrow but after walking around in them for a few minutes I decided they were going to break in nicely,
I get compliments on them all the time. The laces are wide long and I really love the character they give the shoe.
I also took these on a light hike while looking around for some crystals and they didn't get beat up!
Uber Cutie Boots
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Love these guys, I just got my pair and I haven't had them too long but the camel ones go with so much and are pretty comfy. Expect them to be a bit narrow and maybe order a size up! I ordered my true size and they were a little snug. Other than that I diiiiig these.

Well,this is an update of my post of one week ago.The leaking evaporator coil in our four month old completely new Trane 15.25 SEER A/C was replaced last Friday.It is the following Thursday.I just opened the door to the air handler closet and there's green oily fluid that resembles auto anti-freeze running down the front of the air handler cabinet from inside the unit.Next step will be a consumer attorney.I can't believe I spent so much money to buy a nightmarish headache.The so-called technicians are a bunch of inept boobs to say the least.DO NOT BUY TRANE!!!

"I Love My Central Air"
We just purchased a house and this unit was installed. The place that we moved from the air ran constantly to keep the house somewhat cool. The Trane at the house we purchased keeps the house cool is very quiet and is economical. We went from a 250+ power bill to a $100 or less power bill. So far we have not had to have it worked on and we have been this is our second summer here. The only thing that I had to get use to was when it first starts up with the heat a little blue light comes on that say auxillary heat. It is only on for a couple of minutes and then it goes off. I contacted a heating and air specialist about this and they said that it was normal. I am not the type of person that likes "warning style" lights that come on. Other than that I love the unit. I would absolutely recommend a Trane to everyone! When the time comes and it needs to be replaced it will be replaced by another Trane!!

"Great Quality"
Our old Trane central air unit finally died, after 25 years of hard service! I had several bids, but the warranty, local distributor, and the service was best with Trane. Pricing was competitive too, but these units are not only very efficient, but they are also very quiet. This is a new unit this spring (2009), so time will tell on the quality, but the warranty that was included gives us peace of mind.......

"Good Quality"
We bought our house last year and it came with a 13 year old Trane A/C. Actually the entire set-up is Trane. We were conderned about the age of the system so we had a technician evaluate the system. He was very clear- while he would love to sell us a new system he said what we have looks really good and was well maintained.

"Built Like a Trane!"
New Trane A/C and condenser installed three years ago. We live in a very humid climate in Georgia, this A/C has been fantastic. No problems from day 1, has been dependable. Trane touts their patented coil design, while I can tell it's designed different. It's hard to tell if it will last longer. I do know that it's much more efficient than our last system and that this system has not once failed us despite some long and hot summers. Highly recommended.

Brand new a/c ... Trane. Installed March 29, 2011. April 24, 2011, try to actually use it. IT DOESN'T WORK. It needs a new compressor. The new compressor won't be in until April 29. So, I get to try to sleep in a too warm, extremely humid house for four nights and then take another day off work. Of course, the forecast for April 29 is for temps in the 40s & 50s ... until then in the 80s with extremely high humidity. I HATE TRANE!!!!!!!!!

"Totally undepedable"
Specified Trane equipment when we built our home in 2001 because I "thought it was the best" - certainly the most expensive. Constant problems with the furnace and the AC. In a four year period, we had 45 service calls. Granted the service calls were covered under warranty, but somehow that does not make it better when it 97 degrees sweltering and the ac breaks down on a Friday afternoon. e.g. stopped working, coils froze up numerous times, freon disappearing out of the system. Same with the furnace-Sensing relay was replaced at least five times and it always seemed to break down when the weather is the coldest. Replaced the entire system in 2005

"Best quality"
Bought XC95M with X15i. Along with Trane Effects and April Air Humidifier. AN expensive set-up but worth every penny. I can't imagine in my wildest dreams why some people have had issues, can only attribute to poor installs. Our last furnace lasted 5 years due to what I now have learned is poor installation. Pick a great installer first and make sure they show you how they sized the furnace. The measured every room and window. Found duct work inadequate, current furnace was undersized, along with several other issues. All resulted in premature failure of the Lennox system.

Boise Open golfers chasing $4 million and 25 coveted PGA Tour spots
A bunker blast and an in-your-face drive: Watch a Web.com Tour pro's game
Austin Cook has finished in the top 25 in six of his nine career starts on the PGA Tour. He clearly has the game to compete on golf's biggest stage.
The other 130 golfers who will begin play Thursday in the 27th annual Albertsons Boise Open at Hillcrest Country Club can say the same — yet less than 40 percent of them will be on the big tour next season.
Their fates will be determined during the four-event Web.com Tour Finals. The Boise Open, the second leg, makes its finals debut this year — complete with a record $1 million purse and return to the tournament's traditional September dates.
"Obviously the top 20 guys in the world, they're at another level right now," Cook said Monday during the pro-am at Hillcrest, "but for the most part, the majority of players out there and the majority of players out here, they can win on either tour."
The difference is in the stakes.
The largest purse on the Web.com Tour is $1 million.
The smallest purse on the PGA Tour is $3 million — with most topping $6 million.
Every birdie this week in Boise puts players a little closer to tapping into that massive pool of money. Twenty-five of them already have clinched PGA Tour cards for 2016-17 by leading the Web.com Tour money list at the end of the regular season. Twenty-five more will get spots on the PGA Tour based on their total earnings during the four finals events.
The finals fields are compiled from the top 75 players on the Web.com Tour, the players who ranked No. 126 to No. 200 on the PGA Tour and select other players, like rising star Bryson DeChambeau. DeChambeau, who contended for two rounds at the Masters in April as an amateur, won last week's finals opener in Ohio to secure his tour card for next season.
The finals also determine the pecking order by which players receive entry into tournaments next season and, for the lowest-ranked PGA Tour entrants, whether they'll even have a spot on the Web.com Tour next season.
Cook missed a cut, tied for 21st, tied for 56th and tied for 43rd in his first Web.com Tour Finals last season. He earned $16,634 during the series, about half of what it took to move to the PGA Tour.
Players know that a top-five finish in any of the finals events — one hot week — usually is enough to advance.
Cook, who used Monday qualifiers, top-10 finishes and sponsor's exemptions to get into seven PGA Tour events last season, figured he could do that. He finished in the top 11 three times and top 25 five times in those PGA Tour starts.
"I need to stay a little more patient," Cook said. "With the year that I had ... I was expecting too much coming into the finals and I was getting angry too fast, so I need to stay a little more patient and just let things happen."
He has three top-10 finishes and seven top-25s in 21 starts this season on the Web.com Tour. He has secured a spot on the Web.com Tour for next season but hopes to upgrade to his first season as a PGA Tour member instead.
"It is real hard not to think about that," Cook said, "but the less you think about it, the more relaxed you'll be, and you won't be so uptight."

Four athletes — three baseball players and a weightlifter — have been thrown out of the Pan Am Games for doping infractions but not the swimmer whose banishment would benefit Canada's medal total.
Mexican weightlifter Cynthya Vanessa Dominguez, Colombian baseball player Javier Jesus Ortiz Anguol and Puerto Rican baseball player Nelson Gomez were banned for using un-named anabolic steroids while baseball player Mario Mercedes Castillo of Dominican Republic was tossed for using a banned stimulant.
"It is a normal range, but we want to be clear that PASO (the group that oversees the Pan Am sports federations) is still very concerned about these positive results, and that we are taking it very seriously," Ivar Sisniega, PASO's first vice-president, said Friday.
Eduardo De Rose, chairman of PASO's medical commission, said he was surprised at so many positive tests so early in the Games, which have reached their halfway point. Sisniega said 1,500 tests had been conducted and 1,154 processed by the Montreal lab contracted by PASO to do drug testing.
However, Sisniega would not comment on the case of Peru swimmer Mauricio Fiol, who left the athletes village and the Games on Thursday night after reportedly testing for the steroid Stanozolol.
Athletes have 48 hours to defend themselves after their 'A' sample is tested before a 'B' sample is examined.
"We will only comment on those cases where we have the final evidence, where the athlete has had the opportunity to clearly present his case," Sisniega said at the news conference.
"And only then does the PASO executive board make a decision."
On Thursday night, Fiol — who, two days before, stood on the podium as silver medallist in men's 200-metre butterfly — said he has been disqualified and banned from the Games after testing positive for stanozolol.
If that becomes official, Canada's Alec Page would move up from fourth to be awarded the bronze medal and his teammate Zach Chetrat would be elevated from bronze to silver.
Fiol has been expelled from the Athletes Village and suspended from the Games on Thursday.
"I am very sorry, this has been a tough day for me especially because I promote fair play," Fiol said at his own emotional news conference. "I apologize to my friends, my family and my country.
"I am receiving advice from the Peruvian Olympic Committee as to what I am going to do next."
Wearing his red and white team colours, Fiol spoke quickly and emotionally in giving a brief statement.

What better way to honor the men and women who have served our country, then to ensure that their counterparts currently serving in the military are able to vote?
In an effort to make certain that servicemen and women can vote, President Obama signed the federal Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act in 2009. The MOVE Act requires election officials to send ballots to military and overseas voters at least 45 days before a federal election, and this year's midterm was the first election to which the new law applied. The 45 day period was based on findings that overseas voters did not have sufficient time to return their ballots and were thus disenfranchised.
Most states complied with the law, and some states applied for waivers–about half of which were granted. However, a few states did not comply, forcing the Department of Justice to compel them to take steps to ensure that overseas ballots would be counted. The Department of Justice estimates that 65,000 votes were preserved as a result.
Military and overseas voter participation rates are not yet available–and some ballots are still coming in–but the government's willingness to take action to guarantee that overseas voters have an equal opportunity to cast their ballot is impressive, and a great tribute to the men and women in the armed forces.

The Gifts of Imperfection isn't a guidebook on how to achieve happiness; rather, it is a book about all the things that get in the way of true, lasting happiness, joy, and belonging. It explores the concepts of courage, compassion, and connection to understand the reasons behind perfectionism and insecurity. Most importantly, it promotes self-acceptance and self-love, and it will teach you how to be vulnerable and strong at the same time.
We have compiled all the advice in this book into a series of habits you can practice from the comfort of your own home! Pick one or two and start practicing them today—you'll notice an immediate positive shift toward happiness.
Dr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston, where she holds the Huffington Foundation–Brené Brown Endowed Chair at The Graduate College of Social Work.
She has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy and is the author of four #1 New York Times best-sellers. Brené's TED talk, "The Power of Vulnerability," is one of the top five most-viewed TED talks in the world, with more than 35 million views.
When looking for compassion from others, choose the right people to connect with.
Practice compassion by setting boundaries and establishing accountability.

Psalm 107:20 "He sent His Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."
THE NOW WORD: God is good and His mercies endure forever. God has made a covenant with you and He sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the ultimate sacrifice, to take away your sin, to heal all your diseases and to deliver you from destruction. The Word of God says that 'by one offering, he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified' (Heb.10;14). The Word of God will not fail and the Word of God cannot lie. The Lord Your God is with you and He is mighty to save and He is powerful to deliver. Rest in Him and You will see your salvation, healing and deliverance come to you. Hold fast to the confession of your faith and give thanks to the Lord for his mercies endure forever.
My prayer for you is: Lord God almighty, creator of heaven and earth. Nothing is too difficult for You. You have declared in Your Word, when we call on You, You will answer us. I am now calling on You Lord God for a miracle. I am calling on You Lord God for deliverance and salvation. Come today Lord God and Heal You child. Show Your Mercy Lord, cover them with Your unfailing love. You have done this many times to others, and Your Word says, You are no respecter of persons. So according to Your Word I call on You for Your child – Come Lord God and Show Mercy today. We worship You Father for What You have done and for what You are going to do today in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Please pray this over yourself: Lord God I call on You today and I put my trust in You, that You will touch me, heal me and deliver me from destruction. I pray that You will teach me to walk in Your ways. Even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil because Your rod and Your staff they comfort me. You prepare for me a table in the midst of my enemies. I love You and I worship You. I thank You that You give to me victory in every circumstance of life. You are my mighty deliverer. Amen.Follow me on social media

Most of our universe is composed forms of mass-energy which we do not understand, and which is outside the current model of particle physics. In my group we pursue the physics of dark matter and dark energy via weak gravitational lensing probes of the universe and a laboratory dark matter direct detection experiment. We do this with state-of-the-art astronomical observations of millions of galaxies [the Deep Lens Survey, DLS] and by building next-generation capability to map billions of galaxies [the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, LSST]. The lab experiment is called "dark radio."
Using the DLS we have recently measured the dark matter power spectrum normalization, detected the growth in dark matter halos associated with galaxies over cosmic time, and demonstrated the new technique of weak lens cosmic magnification tomography.
We developed the LSST project mainly as a cosmological tool. Under development for over a decade, the LSST construction project was funded in 2014 by the NSF and DOE, and we expect "first light" in 2020. DLS is a precursor to the LSST survey, so we can use it to develop and test novel cosmology analysis algorithms for the LSST data. We also build instrumentation for LSST: we have labs in which we test the LSST charge coupled device detectors in a realistic LSST optical beam.
There are ongoing opportunities for creative advanced undergraduate and graduate students to join our research group. Depending on your interests, you can combine work on hardware and software development, and data analysis, to meet your own ambitions.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) called a hearing on Tuesday to discuss his view that the Obama administration is waging a "war on police" and that the "Ferguson effect" is causing crime rates to skyrocket.
"If the police are intimidated, if they are scared, if they are not willing to do their jobs, we know the result. The result is the loss of life. The result is rising crime," Cruz, who chairs a judicial subcommittee, said during the hearing titled "The War on Police: How the Federal Government Undermines State and Local Law Enforcement."
All of the Democratic senators, Department of Justice officials, and civil rights advocates who testified disputed the hearing's "unfounded and unscientific" title and denied the existence of the so-called "Ferguson effect." Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) was the first to challenge the focus of the hearing convened by the Republican presidential candidate.
"While I do think we have an important topic before us today, the title of the hearing — a 'war on police' — reflects unfortunately more overheated rhetoric, all too common in Congress when discussing complex policy matters rather than any on the ground reality," Sen. Coons said.
There really is no data to suggest that there is a Ferguson effect.
Sherrilyn Ifill, director of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, felt similarly.
"I regret that the name of this hearing so inaccurately describes the relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve," she said. "There is no war on police. What has been called a war is an admittedly painful but necessary national conversation about the police use of excessive, sometimes fatally excessive, use of force against unarmed citizens."
Criminal justice experts have denied the existence of a "Ferguson effect," or a slowdown in police activity because of increased scrutiny following police protests in Ferguson, Baltimore, New York, and other U.S. cities. Yet Cruz and other conservatives point to the phenomenon to explain a recent uptick in violent crime, without proof of the correlation.
Representatives from the Department of Justice, including the head of the office that works with local law enforcement agencies, again denied it's existence during Tuesday's hearing.
"There really is no data to suggest that there is a Ferguson effect and that somehow that's linked to any increase in crime in certain cities, because we know that there are some cities where there's an increase, but we also know there's some cities where there are decreases," said Ronald L. Davis, the director of the DOJ's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services and the former police chief of East Palo Alto, California.
To validate the "war on police," Cruz cited a headline that states that killings of police officers are "on the rise" and said the number of cops killed has "been on a precipitous upswing." Although 51 officers were killed in 2014, that number is up from a 35-year low in 2013 and is still far below the average of 64 police deaths per year from 1980 to 2014. And 2015 is on pace to have the second lowest number of murdered cops in decades.
Additionally, the two recent cop deaths that launched the conversation about the "war on police" both turned out to be self-inflicted.
Conservatives were encouraged when FBI Director James Comey made comments last month about the recent uptick in violent crime. While he claimed that additional scrutiny of police in the wake of recent protests may have led to an increase in crime, he acknowledged that there is so far no data to back up his assertion.
On Tuesday, Ifill disputed the part of his statement where he "opined" that this might be because of the "Ferguson effect."
"He never claimed that he had any data to claim that there was a correlation between the uptick in violent crime and the increased scrutiny of police departments," she said. Cedric Alexander, chief of police in DeKalb County, Georgia, also testified that the term "Ferguson effect" is of "no real significance" and that we don't know what's driving the increase in crime in some U.S. cities.
Coons pointed out in the hearing that Democratic senators have offered increased funding for police and other substantial ways in which to help law enforcement improve relations with communities. But Cruz's hearing was entirely based on a false premise and was not productive, he said.
"This hearing has tolerated a wide range of sloppy, unfounded, and unscientific insults to the law enforcement community," he said.
Cruz has previously criticized the Black Lives Matter movement for "literally suggesting and embracing and celebrating the murder of police." He has claimed that the group's "rabid anti-police language" and the "vilification of law enforcement" under the Obama administration is to blame for crime in U.S. cities.
"It's amazing to me that black people and their allies affirming that Black Lives Matter is somehow celebrating murder," activist Johnetta "Netta" Elzie, told ThinkProgress last month.

Down, but not Out
I'm trying to blog, but this is a lame attempt. The flu/food poisioning that knocked me off my feet last week, still has lingering effects. I'm so sick and tired, I still have two of the three candy bars Doctor Chai dropped off and a Magnum Bar(Pakistan's attempt to copy the Dove Bar) in the freezer for three days now.
I'm feeling all the energy of a dead dog. I'm languishing away, but I maintain that there's nothing a doctor could do for me. I've got messed up guts and it's just going to take time to repopulate my intestions with the natural flora and fauna that make normal digestion possible. I'm eating yeast powder, yogart and bananas, so I am trying. In my waking hours (and they are very few), I shuffle around the house pretending to do light housework. A little picking up here, a little putting away there. That's about all I can manage. When I have to leave the house to teach American, I load up with an elephant sized dose of anti-diarrheal pills and shuffle out the house. A few hours later, I return and drop, exausted into bed.
My hubby is contantly feeling my head, declaring I have a fever (which I don't) and trying to drag me off to the doctor. I went once and have used up my self-imposed limit of one doctor's visit per illness. Last night Abez tried to entice me to go out for ice-cream. I saw right through her feeble attempt to get me within dragging range of the doctor's office. On the dinning table this morning I saw a scrap of paper with my weight divided by three, and a diaghram on how to carry me out to the car and into the doctor's office. (Abez and Owl take a leg each and Hubby gets the head.) They don't think I know, but I do. I've filled my pockets with rocks and hid the keys to the car. They'll never take me alive!!!

Mark Cuban Fined by the NBA … AGAIN
Mark Cuban wanted to give NBA Commisioner David Stern a parting gift before he stepped down with yet another gigantic fine.
Cuban was fined Wednesday during a game against the Los Angeles Clippers for another whopping $100,000 as he stormed on the court to rip officials.
That will put Cuban over the $2 million mark since he purchased the team for his conduct. In an interview he told reporters he wanted at least one more infraction before Stern left.
Well, he got it!

A homemade french onion mix cooks with pork chops in this low-carb/keto, paleo, and whole30 slow cooker or Instant Pot recipe.
French onion is a favorite mixture of mine. I love a good French onion soup and I even have a French Onion Chicken recipe. I'm very aware that I don't have too many pork recipes on this blog so to switch things up a bit, I'm pairing french onion flavors with pork chops! We're not huge into pork in my household but there are certain cuts of pork I can't resist. Pork chops are one of them. I love a good pork chop. Ribs are my all-time favorite pork cut if you curious.
I used boneless pork chops however you can use bone-in if you like; cook time remains the same. I sprinkled the dry onion mix on top first, then added the ghee and broth. Another way to do it is to mix the broth and dry soup together and then pour it on top. Ditch the store-bought dry onion packet and make your own! Below is my homemade mix:
Homemade Dry Onion Mix
2 tbsp dried chopped onion
1 tbsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper
When it comes to the ghee, I'm not going to tell you how much to use. If you're following a keto diet then obviously you would want to use more. I personally put 1/4 tsp of ghee on top of each pork chop. Nutritional facts were calculated using 2 tsp total ghee.
Slow Cooker/Instant Pot French Onion Pork Chops (Low-Carb,Paleo,Whole30)
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 3 hours
- Total Time: 3 hours 10 minutes
- Yield: Serves 4 1x
- 4 pork chops (approx 3/4 – 1 lb)
- 1 large onion, sliced thinly
- 2 tbsp dry onion mix (see blog post for homemade)
- 2 tsp ghee (or more)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup low-sodium broth (or homemade bone broth)
- 2 tsp oil (for IP)
Slow Cooker
- Add onion and garlic to the bottom of the slow cooker. Place pork chop on top.
- Sprinkle 2 tbsp dry onion mix on top of pork chops. Top with ghee. Pour broth on top.
- Cook HIGH 2-3 hours or LOW 4-6.
Instant Pot
- Set Instant Pot to the high saute setting. Heat oil. When hot, add pork chops and sear both sides approximately 2-3 minutes per side. You may have to do this two at a time. Remove pork chops from IP and set aside.
- Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4-6 minutes. Pour in broth and using a wooden spoon scrape well the bottom of the Instant Pot to remove any bits that stuck to it, make sure you scrape it well to avoid burning during cooking.
- Stir in dry onion mix. Nestle in pork chops, making sure each piece gets wet. Top with ghee.
- Close lid and seal valve. Set high pressure and cook for 5 minutes, natural release.
If you don't eat pork, you can substitute chicken breasts or thighs, skin-on, skinless, bone-in, boneless, chicken legs, etc. I served this with mashed cauliflower.
I used a 6-quart slow cooker and there was plenty of extra space. In retrospect, I probably should have used my smaller, 3.5-quart slow cooker.
