text: San Francisco Boldly Stands Up to Tech Buses with $3.55 FeeKevin Montgomery7/15/14 7:10pmFiled to: tech busesgoogle bussan franciscosfmta2563EditInvite manuallyPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink San Francisco's plan to legalize the armada of tech buses has sailed past its last regulatory hurdle. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency voted today to approve increased fees charged to tech companies for using city bus stops, as part of its controversial shuttle pilot program. According to KQED News, SFMTA raised the per-stop fee charged to shuttle operators from $1 up to $3.55. The fee was increased for two reasons. Residents demanded fewer city stops be included in the pilot program, which means there would be less revenue coming in, and the projected administrative costs were higher than anticipated. Carli Paine, the manager for the SFMTA pilot program, said providers are making about 40 percent fewer stops than initial estimates suggested.Paine said the fees will cover the program's fixed costs and will be spread over 2,449 stops, well under the 4,121 stops originally estimated. [...]The total estimated program cost is expected to be $3.7 million, more than the January estimate of $1.7 million. When the program was initially proposed, local activists complained that tech companies were being charged too little. But raising the fee by 255 percent hasn't seemed to placate the protesters. According to San Francisco Chronicle transit reporter Michael Cabanatuan, who covered today's SFMTA board hearing, they still feel like their voices have been unheard. Advertisement Those critics are proceeding with a lawsuit, challenging the luxury shuttle program on environmental grounds. But it's unlikely that the suit will prevent the pilot from going forward: Google buses are slated to begin rolling legally through San Francisco on August 1st.

Release information
This card was printed in the English Boundaries Crossed expansion, first released in the Japanese Cold Flare expansion, with artwork by Satoshi Shirai. A Non Holofoil print was included in the Ice Shock Theme Deck. It was reprinted in the English Plasma Storm expansion with different artwork by Ayaka Yoshida as an Ultra-Rare Secret card, first included in the Japanese Plasma Gale expansion. It received new artwork by Satoshi Shirai when released in the English Plasma Blast expansion, coming from the Japanese Blastoise + Kyurem-EX Combo Deck, with a Non Holofoil print included with the expansion's Solar Strike Theme Deck.
A Cosmos Holofoil print of the Plasma Blast print was included in XY Two Pack Blisters, released on February 5, 2014. This print erroneously lists the copyright as ©2012, even though the Plasma Blast expansion was released in 2013 and the Blister Packs in 2014. A corrected copy of this print was later included in the XY Knock Out Collection and XY Kanto Two Pack Blisters, the latter released in May 2015.
Hydro Pump is a move in the Pokémon games that Blastoise can learn. This card's Boundaries Crossed and Plasma Blast Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. The Plasma Storm print features the Shiny version of Blastoise. This card can be seen as an updated version of the original Base Set Blastoise, as it shares the same ability (albeit renamed) and the same attack as that card.

FBI: We had no contact with suspect after bombing
WASHINGTON (AP) – The FBI is disputing a claim by the mother of the suspected Boston bombers, who said the bureau had spoken to the older brother after the bombs exploded at last Monday's marathon.
At FBI headquarters in Washington, spokesman Michael Kortan says the bureau's 2011 interview with Tamerlan Tsarnaev (tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) was the only FBI contact with him.
Kortan is standing by the bureau's public statement from Friday in which the bureau described that interview. That statement says the FBI did not learn of the identities of the bombing suspects, Tamerlan and his brother, Dzhokhar (joh-KHAR'), until Friday, the day Tamerlan was killed.
The brothers' parents in Russia have insisted that the FBI continued to monitor Tamerlan after the 2011 interview and say both of their sons were set up.

Night of the $12 Cocktail
"This is nice. I feel like I'm eating on Deep Space 9," says Disgruntled Onetime Art Student, wolfing down a basket of New Age sesame wafers WD-50 likes to sub in for bread. The city's craving for fried mayo and mustard ice cream must inexplicably diminish after a year or two, for WD-50 was near empty, save for DOAS sipping on a cocktail in her Sunday best.
USD orders up the Castillan Cooler, a rum and sherry drink, oddly garnished with apricot paper. Huh? "What's apricot paper?" she asks the waiter, who replies that it's actually, duh, paper made from real apricots. We're probably talking about Wylie Dufresne ordering off his sous chef lackeys to hand-pummel fruit and dry out each precious four-star Fruit Rollup sheet one by one, but USD takes another sip of her sitting-on-the-veranda Cooler and envisions herself sitting with balloony-biceped men, crushing up apricots in each golden armpit.
"The lighting fixtures here are weird," whines DOAS, munching on a sesame wafer.
"You always complain about the lighting fixtures."

"It's a sore spot, man. While you're at it, jot down something about the blue wall."
"You don't like the blue wall?"
"Well, I'm all fine with primary colors," DOAS sniffs. "But there's a difference between the Pompidou and corny . . . " she says, taking another sip of her Rye & Quince.
The Rye & Quince, WD-50's most wintry drink, is a grow-hair-on-the-chest, 100-proof drink hiding behind a wussie quince-lemon syrup. It tastes like all rye to USD, wishing more for something like The Royal Blush, WD-50's country-clubby concoction of vodka, champagne, and cherry puree. "Now that's the perfect wedding drink," she thinks to herself, when the bartender pours champagne over the Royal Blush ("a final touch" he says), causing the puree at the bottom of the glass to swirl up into pretty pink clouds.
The décor makes a little more sense to USD at mixologist Audrey Saunders' new Soho spot Pegu, even though they're trying to recapture the bygone spirit of a famous British Colonial Officers' club in Rangoon. Ahh, the golden cocktail days of imperialism! This one comes sans little brown people slaving away in back, but USD notes it does take the liberty of staffing up with its own beefy doorman, coat check chick, and hostess, all a bit much for what amounts to a one-floor bar. The menu offers a laboriously long history of the original Pegu Club, something like "Back when Britain was still an empire . . . ," complete with compulsory reference to Rudyard Kipling. USD flips over the page to find the cocktails, picking the Applejack Cobbler, a reddish drink spiked with Laird's Applejack brandy blend and garnished with a purple blossom the bartender carefully flattens before settling gently on top of the drink. USD found the ethos behind it all, as printed on the bar's website"we consider ourselves gatekeepers of classic cocktail culture"a little too self-aggrandizing to swallow. But if patrons choose to ignore that for a second, the manifestation of those principles (fresh squeezed juices; homemade infusions, flavored syrups, and ginger beer) is a great reward.

The best Total Quarterback Rating in the division for Week 15 goes to the rookie. Miami Dolphins first-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill posted an impressive 90.3 score in a 24-3 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Tannehill had perhaps his most efficient game of the season. He completed 22 of 28 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns. Tannehill also was a threat with his feet. He rushed for a career-high 52 yards.
Here are the QBR scores for the AFC East in Week 15:
No. 1: Tannehill, Dolphins, 90.3
No. 2: Tom Brady, New England Patriots, 55.9
No. 3: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Buffalo Bills, 19.8
Brady threw an astounding 65 times in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He had 443 yards but did not get hot until the second half. Brady also had one touchdown and two interceptions.
Fitzpatrick had three turnovers (two interceptions, one fumble) in a 50-17 blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks. New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez has a chance to post a good rating against the Tennessee Titans on "Monday Night Football." But chances are, Sanchez will not beat Tannehill's rating for the week.

5 of the Biggest Money Saving Tips for Life Insurance
I have a big goal here on Debt Roundup. I try my best to show you many ways to save more of your money each and every day. I know my audience loves to save money, along with making more. This is what I do here and I'm glad I get to do it. Having said that, I know I've dropped the ball a bit when it comes to life insurance. I don't cover the topic much and that's because it's not a subject I'm extremely familiar with. I do suggest everyone have life insurance, but how to save money while buying it isn't my strong suite.
Luckily for you, I have friends in this field, so I've asked on to write about it. His name is Chris Huntley and he came through big time today. This is an epic article to show you how to save the most money when buying life insurance. In some cases, up to 70%! That's huge if you ask me. So, if you're in the market for life insurance, take a seat and read this one. You'll be happy you did and so will your bank account!
Take it away Chris…
Every day, you see advertisements from life insurance agencies on TV or the radio claiming that they can save you 15%, 58%, or 70% on life insurance.
Is this some kind of a scam?
In fact, no! The right life independent insurance agency can actually save you a lot of money when it comes to buying life insurance.
An independent life insurance agent can save people as much as 50-70% or more on life insurance, by guiding consumers through the following 5 cost savings strategies.
Tip 1. Save 25% on Life Insurance by Losing 3 lbs
Life insurance companies set "underwriting guidelines" for various health issues such as height and weight, blood pressure level and cholesterol level, and they are very strict about only allowing people to qualify for the higher health classes unless you fall within their guidelines.
The simplest example of this is height and weight. Say you are 5'10 and weigh 194 lbs. But the company with the best price requires you to weigh a maximum of 192 lbs to qualify for their best rating.
It may be hard for you to believe that just a few measly pounds could mean the difference between you qualifying for a company's best class, and their second best class, but it's true. And there is typically a 25% premium increase for each health class. So yes, you could literally lose 3 lbs prior to your medical exam and save 25% on life insurance.
And you might find yourself in the same situation with blood pressure or cholesterol, perhaps just needing to slightly improve your lab levels to qualify for a better health class.
Obviously, you won't know where these levels (or savings) are, so the key is to work with a knowledgeable, independent agent, who can find savings opportunities like this for you.
In some cases, you may not know your numbers. So for you, I'll just say this. It's incredible how quickly the body can respond to healthy eating and exercise. If you don't already eat well and exercise, I highly recommend you make a conscious effort to do so for at least one week prior to your medical exam. It could save you 25% or more on life insurance.
Tip 2. Don't Buy No-Medical Life Insurance If You Are Healthy (40-60% Savings)
No-medical exam life insurance policies are being heavily advertised these days because of the convenience of not having to take a medical exam which standard, "fully underwritten" policies require.
Don't be fooled by these commercials because no-medical policies can easily cost as much as 3 times or more than what you would pay for a standard policy which requires a medical exam especially if you are and healthy.
Life insurance is a long term investment, so if you are young and healthy you might save hundreds or even thousands of dollars simply by getting a policy which requires a medical exam. Another thing to keep in mind is that the death benefits offered on no-medical exams are much lower, and you don't want to be underinsured.
Tip 3. Buy Several Policies Also Known As "Layering" or "Staggering" (10-15% Savings)
Most people buy 1 large policy to cover several purposes, but this may not be necessary, and may be causing you to overpay for life insurance.
There are many reasons why people buy life insurance, but the majority of Americans use life insurance to cover:
- Income Replacement
- The Mortgage
- Children's College Tuition
Life insurance can be used for different needs AND also for different time periods. For example, you might think you should opt for a $1 million policy to cover all 3 of the above.
At this point, most advisors would recommend their client purchase one policy for $1 million dollars with a 30 year level term.
But what happens if you pay down your mortgage or your children decide they don't want to go to college? You're stuck overpaying for a $1 million dollar, 30 year policy.
If you are diligently planning for your future, you could probably foresee some of the changes in life insurance needs you'll face moving forward, and could save 10-15% by staggering or laddering your term life insurance maturities to accommodate your changing needs.
Take a $1 million coverage need, for example. By purchasing the same amount of coverage ($1 million), but instead of purchasing one policy, purchase two or three and ladder the term life insurance maturities.
You might purchase a 20 year policy with a $500,000 death benefit and a $500,000, 30 year term policy.
This way, you'll have a $1 million of coverage for a full 20 years. At the end of 20 years, if you've been paying down your debt, and saving for retirement, as Grayson teaches, you probably won't need $1 million of coverage. You can let the 20 year term policy fall off, and only continue paying on the other 30 year policy, leaving you with $500,000 for years 21-30 of your "life insurance plan."
And since 20 year term costs less than 30 year term, you'll save about 5-10% by laddering your term policies.
Ten and fifteen year terms cost even less than 20 year term, so even greater savings can be achieved if you use, for example, 10 and 30 year maturities instead of 20 and 30.
Tip 4. Choose Annuity Payments Over Lump Sum Death Benefits (10-30% Savings)
Most life insurance information you see today advertises that the death benefits will be paid as a lump sum. However, there are other settlement options that you can choose which will save money on your premiums.
The other option is to get the death benefits paid as an "annuity". This means that the benefits are paid over a set period of time and in groups of time.
For example, say you make $75,000 per year, and would like to protect your spouse from the loss of your income upon your untimely death. You determine your spouse would need $60,000 per year for 15 years.
Again, in this case, many advisors would simply multiply $60,000 times 15 years and recommend a policy with a $900,000 death benefit. (Some agents also factor in future interest the money would earn and inflation, but you get the gist.)
But does your spouse really need a $900,000 lump sum to achieve your goals? You could set up the death benefit to pay out $60,000 over 15 years, and save about 15% off the cost of your insurance, achieving a very similar goal.
Please note that very few companies offer these pre-determined annuity elections, so be sure to speak to an independent agent who represents all of the best insurance companies, to be sure you find one with the annuity payment option.
Tip 5. Always Use and "Independent" Life Insurance Agent (50% Savings or More)
This is our most valuable tip that can save you "thousands" of dollars when buying life insurance. Not all life insurance agents are the same.
There are 2 types of life insurance agents you can use to buy life insurance:
- Captive Agents
- Independent Life Insurance Agents
Captive agents are held "captive" to the one company they work for and represent. Your options are very limited about the products offered.
For example, a good independent agent will know which company to apply to in order to get non tobacco rates for pipe smokers, or the companies who won't penalize you for having a history of cancer in your family, or where to find a 30 year term for 57 years olds, (when most companies stop offering 30 year term at age 50 or 55.)
So let's say you have a tough medical issue, such as diabetes. Some companies are much more lenient in underwriting life insurance for diabetics than others. You don't want to get pigeon-holed into applying to a company that's going to decline you or hit you with a substandard rating when other companies can offer better.
So again, it's all about the independent agent. Because they have access to multiple companies and know which companies are more liberal for a host of health issues, they can save you 50% or more simply by applying to the right company.
(BONUS TIP) – Buy Life Insurance Now! Premiums Increase 5-12% Every Year You Wait
Regardless of whether you choose Term or a Permanent life insurance, ladder your maturities, or buy from an independent agent, one tip that holds true in every case is, the earlier you buy life insurance, the more you save.
From age 20 – 35 premiums are relatively the same, only increasing about 3-5% for each year you grow older, and become increasingly more expensive as you age.
After age 35, premiums increase on average 5-7% per year, but that's not all. Now that you're over 35, you are more likely to experience health issues such as an increase in blood pressure, higher cholesterol rates, and weight gain which can negatively impact how you are rated and cost you even more.
When you get into your 50's, premiums increase about 8% for every year you wait, and over age 60, you're looking at a 10-12% premium increase every year!
The general rule in life insurance is that you will likely never be as healthy as you are today, (and you certainly won't ever be younger), so if you've been putting off buying life insurance, I would recommend getting a quote today, and starting the process.
Just be sure to use an independent agent!

"Dangerous" gap in rail track
Rail union RMT say there could be "another Hatfield" after releasing a picture of a six inch gap in a track near Selby.
Rail union RMT say there could be "another Hatfield" after releasing a picture of a six inch gap in a track near Selby.
Network Rail strongly deny the claims and a dip was identified - but it turned into a crack the day before they were due to repair it.
"A dip in our track was identified and spotted at Hambleton on 17 January. Following our well-tried and tested standard industry procedure to remedy such dips, we scheduled an intervention to repair this dip on the Saturday night of 2 February. Unfortunately the track deteriorated more quickly than is to be expected and, on discovering the broken rail, all traffic was stopped immediately while a repair was carried out."
"This incident was managed within all safety standards and was in no way affected by changes to staffing levels. Safety issues will never be compromised in the name of managing costs."

You Are on Display: An Interview with Morgan Parker
July 22, 2016 | by Alex Dueben
Morgan Parker has a long résumé—she teaches and edits—that somehow hasn't precluded a prolific career as a poet. Her first collection, Other People's Comfort Keeps Me Up at Night, came last year; her second, There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé, is due out in 2017.
A few months ago, Parker's poem "Hottentot Venus" appeared in the Spring issue of The Paris Review. Her use of famous names and long, playful titles ("Ryan Gosling Wearing a T-shirt of Macaulay Culkin Wearing a T-Shirt of Ryan Gosling Wearing a T-Shirt of Macaulay Culkin") suggests that she's light of heart—but she is, as one reviewer put it,"as set on understanding the world as on changing it." Race and femininism are central to her work, which explores ways to look at the present through the past, to examine ordinary life through pop culture, and to consider the events of her own life. We spoke recently about the joys of lengthy titles, how her many jobs intersect, and the process of crafting a personal mythology. Read More »

The first time Sarah "Sally" Thomason and I spoke, she'd just completed her annual two-day, eighteen-hundred-mile drive from her home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she teaches, to rural northwestern Montana, where she spends her summers studying Montana Salish. For thirty-four years, Thomason has been assembling a dictionary of this Native American language, which is spoken fluently by fewer than forty people. Thomason, a linguist, is fascinated by what happens when one language meets another, and how those languages change, or don't. I had contacted her because I was interested in how certain words—say, e-mail, or google, or tweet—had been exported worldwide by American-born technology. I'd already called several linguists, and they all said I had to speak to Sally. No one, they said, had more insight into how linguistic traits travel, how pidgins and creoles are born, and how languages interact and change over time.
The French government tried very hard to resist American loanwords like e-mail, promoting in its place messagerie électronique or courriel. They'd formed a whole agency for this purpose. Laws were passed and enforced. And yet e-mail prevailed—it was simply more efficient. But Sally was especially excited about languages that resist such borrowing, even in the face of extraordinary cultural influence and dominance. Montana Salish was one such language. Our conversations followed a pattern: I arrived expecting one thing and ended up somewhere entirely distinct, thinking differently about language and human culture.
Is it fair to say that you study what happens when languages meet? Is meet too friendly a word? I suppose there's a whole range of things that happen, and sometimes it's friendly and sometimes it's not.
Right, but having a language disappear because all the speakers got massacred is actually really rare. There are a couple of examples where all the speakers of some language got wiped out by a volcanic eruption on an island. And there are a couple of examples, at least one in this country, where almost everybody was wiped out by smallpox and then the remainder was lynched by a mob.
What languages are those? Read More »
Bring on the Dedicated Smell Words, and Other News
November 9, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Today in language and sensory perception: the verdict is in and English is a laughably inadequate language when it comes to describing scents. We must close the smell deficit, giving the olfactory its due in a mad rush of neologism. "In English, there are only three dedicated smell words—stinky, fragrant, and musty—and the first two are more about the smeller's subjective experience than about the smelly thing itself … the Jahai people of Malaysia and the Maniq of Thailand use between twelve and fifteen dedicated smell words … ltpit describes the smell of a binturong or bear cat—a two-meter-long animal that looks like a shaggy, black-furred otter, and that famously smells of popcorn … Another word is used for the smell of petrol, smoke, bat droppings, some species of millipede, the root of wild ginger, the wood of wild mango, and more. One seems specific to roasted foods. And one refers to things like squirrel blood, rodents, crushed head lice, and other 'bloody smells that attract tigers.' "
- In her quest to compile a kind of contemporary ars moriendi, Robyn K. Coggins has taken an exhaustive survey of how people would like to die: "Sometimes I think getting sniped while walking down the street is the best way to go. Short, sweet, surprising; no worries, no time for pain. Sure, it'd be traumatic as hell for the people nearby, but who knows—your death might spark a social movement, a yearlong news story that launches media, legal, and criminal justice careers. What a death!"
- I can think of where not to die: in Gore Vidal's pool, which has apparently fallen into disuse. "The pool was … filled with dead fish with bruised purple backs hovering beneath the dark green surface. Abandoned sun chairs lay by the side." You can change all that, though. Vidal's 10,500-square-foot property on the Amalfi coast, La Rondinaia, is for sale for a cool $21.1 million. Invite me over once you've fixed the place up. Don't let me die in the pool.
- Far beyond the walls of the academy, poets like Tyler Knott Gregson are pouring their hearts out online, putting forth page after page of unvarnished verse. They've found that most coveted thing: a wide readership. Gregson's new book of haiku has a first printing of a hundred thousand copies; he "belongs to a new generation of young, digitally astute poets whose loyal online followings have helped catapult them onto the best-seller lists, where poetry books are scarce. These amateur poets are not winning literary awards, and most have never been in a graduate writing workshop … Their appeal lies in the unpolished flavor of their verses, which often read as if they were ripped from the pages of a diary … The rapid rise of Instapoets probably will not shake up the literary establishment, and their writing is unlikely to impress literary critics or purists who might sneer at conflating clicks with artistic quality. But they could reshape the lingering perception of poetry as a creative medium in decline."
- In the late eighties, the artist Kembra Pfahler decided to sneak subversive commentary into the most accessible vehicle around: a rock band. "The first performance I ever did … was when I came home and looked around and there was nothing in the house except an egg. There wasn't anything to use, I didn't have a guitar, I had an egg. So I stood on my head and cracked an egg over it … I decided in 1989 to start a classic rock band … so I could slide the imagery into the consciousness of the viewer a little easier. This was The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black … The band allowed me to squeeze in all the strange images I'd been working on for all these years, what I now call my 'manual of action,' my own vocabulary of images: the sewn vagina; the egg piece; all of the costumes, like Abra Kedavour; the flowing anal bead shirt; the shark piece; the upside down Crucifix piece, where I hang upside down on the cross; the wall of vagina; the bowling ball piece. For the most part, the performances happened during the guitar solo, and were over before you knew what happened."
I Demand Satisfaction, and Other News
July 10, 2015 | by Jeffery Gleaves
- Your extensive library is all vanity: Henry James's novel The Portrait of a Lady warns against associating our books with status and considering them a marker of "the supposed growth of our intellect advertised in terms of shelf space." Do you collect books, or do you actually read them?
- What happened to midrange film dramas? Maybe they just got better and look more like big pictures. Example: that "art film" aesthetic we like so much (hand-held camera work, low and bad lighting) is tied more to compromises made by directors with low budgets than to artistic choice, and yet these bad techniques are often misused as a markers of "artistic authenticity." Film history has seen a number of these gambles and trade-offs, but not all have stuck: "there's no connection between the short-term appeal of a movie and its artistic importance. Some aesthetic landmarks are profitable, some aren't."
- The comic-book publisher Drawn & Quarterly celebrates its twenty-fifth birthday this year, and everyone is excited because they've been doing the Lord's work: "The D+Q backlist is rich in volumes that have been at the forefront of making comics an accepted literary and visual form—works by such prominent cartoonists as Lynda Barry, Art Spiegelman, Chris Ware, Chester Brown, Seth, Julie Doucet, Adrian Tomine, Yoshihiro Tatsumi."
- Before you do your literary duty and read Go Set a Watchman, consider naming your child after your literary hero. If the trends tell us anything, we may be destined for a generation of Atticuses: "Harper, which nationwide ranked 887th for newborn girls in 2004, actually ranked 11th in 2014. Atticus rose from 937th in 2004 to rank 370th in popularity for male babies in 2014."
- Touché! A specific set of literature is steeped in pistol-wielding duels. Whether it be the soufflet, the acknowledgement of the offense, the rencontre, the violent encounter, or listening to the dying opponent's final words, John Leigh's Touché catalogues and analyzes the duels of literary history. Through this chronicle of absurd formality, Leigh looks at everything, from "Casanova's account of his duel with a Polish nobleman, to comic duels in Dickens and to two of Maupassant's short stories."
Practice Safe Selfies, and Other News
July 9, 2015 | by Jeffery Gleaves
- Admire the tenacity of lit mags yet question their utility? The poet Stephen Burt argues that a new journal simply needs a raison d'être: it should seek to fill a "gap that earlier journals failed to fill, a new form of pleasure, a new kind of writing, an alliance with a new or under-chronicled social movement, a constellation of authors for whom the future demand for work exceeds present supply, a program that will actually change some small part of some literary readers' tastes."
- What can the Greek tragedies tell us about the current Mediterranean refugee crises? Aeschylus's 470 B.C. play, The Suppliants, concerns the fifty daughters of the Egyptian king Danaus, who flee Africa and seek asylum in Greece. Fitting then that a new production of the play is being reimagined in modern-day Sicily, where "African refugees beg at traffic lights," and is being staged in the ancient Greek theater of Syracuse, in Sicily.
- What can the inmates at a Missouri prison tell us about the evolution of language? In compiling a lexicon of facility-specific slang, they found that a viking is a "prisoner with poor hygiene," a kite is "an informal message sent by a prisoner," and a pumpkin is, you guessed it, "a term used for new arrivals" (but not for the reason you might expect). After all, "a dictionary is not a book of rules but a description of language as it is used in real life at a particular moment in time," says English professor Paul Lynch, who volunteers at the prison.
- Jerry Seinfeld thinks that political correctness is killing comedy; he doesn't perform at college campuses because "they're so PC." it wasn't always that way: American college humor is historically steeped in offensiveness. Take National Lampoon, an offshoot of the The Harvard Lampoon and precursor to Saturday Night Live, for example, where "getting a rise out of people was precisely the goal, and the magazine was steadfast in its dedication to what it saw as a decidedly non-partisan approach to humor."
- This week in the perils of the modern age: the Russian government released a public-awareness campaign highlighting the dangers of taking a selfie. With a little help from Google Translate, we learn that "when a person is trying to take a picture of himself—he scattered attention, he lost his balance, he does not look around and did not feel in danger." Have fun this summer. Practice safe selfies.
The Devil's Close-up, and Other News
July 8, 2015 | by Jeffery Gleaves
- The owner of the most famous wheelbarrow in literature finally gets his due. Williams Carlos Williams was inspired in 1938 by the image of Thaddeus Marshall's humble gardening implement left out in the rain, next to a flock of white chickens, and wrote the sixteen-word poem "Red Wheelbarrow."
- Wikipedia? It's been done. Diderot spent more than twenty years writing and editing his Encyclopédie, a French translation of one of the first English-language encyclopedias. Diderot, however, transformed the original by conceiving of his "as a fully interactive text," complete with footnotes and appendices that serve the era's "version of hyperlinks, cross-listings, which take the reader to other 'sites' in the encyclopedia."
- Experimental composer Conlon Nancarrow utilized the player piano for his musical studies because "he was drawn to the technical possibilities of the machine, which can play faster and with greater precision than the most virtuosic pianist." He applied congruent ratios to separate tempos and hand-punched cards while creating his unplayable, weirdly enjoyable tunes.
- Robert Louis Stevenson may have been an egomaniac and brilliant fantasist, but he was also quite ill throughout his life. While visiting him in Samoa, where he would be buried at forty-four, historian Henry Adams said of Stevenson, "Imagine a man so thin and emaciated that he looked like a bundle of sticks in a bag, with a head and eyes morbidly intelligent and restless."
- All hail the Devil's Bible, a thirteeth-century, wood-bound anomaly that is more than three feet long and comprises 620 pages. Officially named the Codex Gigas, it's fabled to have been written by a banished monk, who resolved "to write the world's biggest book in one night. To do so, he naturally required the help of the Devil." Their deal? "All the monk had to do was paint a full-page portrait of Beelzebub in the Codex and hand over his mortal soul."

Billboard Bits: Prince/Tamar, David Lee Roth, Silver Jews
News on Prince/Tamar, David Lee Roth, Silver JewsIn addition to prepping his new studio album, "3121," for a spring release via a just-announced deal with Universal Music Group, Prince is lending a helping hand to an up-and-coming artist.
Sources tell Billboard.com the artist has completed co-production and co-writing on the debut CD by Tamar, although it is unknown if a label is attached to the project. Tamar will appear in the latest incarnation of Prince's live band, New Power Generation, and has additionally been tapped to open all of the dates on his 2006 world tour as a solo act.
-- Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
As he prepares to take over for radio icon Howard Stern in several markets early next year, David Lee Roth will soon be heard in another unlikely place: a bluegrass tribute album to his former band, Van Halen.
Roth sings on versions of "Jump" and "Jamie's Cryin'" on "Strummin' With the Devil," due March 14 via CMH Records. Other VH favorites given the bluegrass treatment include "I'll Wait," "Hot for Teacher" (by David Grisman and Sons), "Eruption," "Panama" and "Unchained."
CMH has deluged the marketplace in recent years with bluegrass makeovers of everyone from Aerosmith and the Rolling Stones to the Strokes and Beck.
-- Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
As tipped here earlier this year, David Berman is taking his Silver Jews project on the road for the first time ever. Hosted by his wife Cassie, the "Love With the Lights On: Ballroom J Tour" will hit 10 U.S. cities in March, and will also feature what Drag City describes as "a fiery oratorical performance" by Pavement's Bob Nastanovich, a comedy duo and a "'professional style' multimedia stageshow."
The outing comes in support of the Jews' latest album, "Tanglewood Numbers." Berman told Billboard.com in July that previously, touring "was something I really felt couldn't be successful and shouldn't be done. But it has gotten the point where I can't afford to just make money off records. I'm so far in debt from hospital bills over the last few years and just not working, that I can't afford to be so protective of my art anymore. I refused to be an entertainer, but I guess I'm open to the idea of seeing if I can be an entertainer."
Here are the Silver Jews' tour dates:
March 10: Athens, Ga. (40-Watt Club)
March 11: Atlanta (the Earl)
March 12: Asheville, N.C. (Grey Eagle Tavern)
March 16: Charlottesville, Va. (Satellite Ballroom)
March 17: New York (Webster Hall)
March 19: Cambridge, Mass. (Middle East)
March 21: Philadelphia (First Unitarian Church)
March 22: Baltimore (Ottobar)
March 24: Columbus, Ohio (Little Brother's)
March 25: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Blind Pig)
-- Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

WSFS Financial Corporation is a financial services company. Its primary subsidiary, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, commonly called WSFS Bank, is the oldest bank and trust company headquartered in Delaware. WSFS operates from 63 offices located in Delaware (44), Pennsylvania (17), Virginia (1) and Nevada (1) and provides financial services including commercial banking, retail banking and trust and wealth management. Other subsidiaries or divisions include Christiana Trust, WSFS Wealth Investments, Cypress Capital Management, LLC, Cash Connect, Array Financial and Arrow Land Transfer. WSFS's Cash Connect subsidiary provides ATM support services across all 50 states for more than 16,000 ATMs. Cash Connect operates the second largest ATM servicing platform in the United States. In operation in the Delaware Valley since 1832, WSFS Bank is the seventh oldest bank in the United States continuously operating under the same name.[1]
Early history[edit]
Wilmington Savings Fund Society was chartered as a Delaware thrift in 1832 by a group of Wilmington community leaders and businessmen. The bank was formed for the working citizens of Wilmington to encourage thrift, and safeguard and increase their savings in a community bank. The bank's first day of business was February 18, 1832, in a rented room "one door below" Town Hall on Market Street. The bank grew steadily through the 19th century, and moved locations twice more before constructing their own building at 838 N. Market Street in 1895.[citation needed] The building stood until 1929,[citation needed] when the current building was constructed and opened for business. Three years later the building would receive its landmark mural, Apotheosis of the Family by N. C. Wyeth. The mural, 60'x19', was commissioned by Frederick Stone to celebrate the bank's 100th anniversary, and a smaller version of this mural still hangs in the bank's new headquarters at 500 Delaware Avenue in Wilmington.[citation needed]
1950s to early 1990s[edit]
WSFS's growth continued in the 1950s and 60s, and was the first bank in the United States to issue debit cards in the late 1960s. By the 1980s, WSFS had expanded from northern New Castle County into Kent and Sussex counties, and went public in 1986 on the NASDAQ market. By the early 1990s the bank was in poor financial shape, and was near bankruptcy. The Board of Directors hired Marvin "Skip" Schoenhals in 1990, and began a dramatic turnaround. Nearly all of the lower Delaware branches were sold to Wilmington Trust, and lending practices and credit quality were administered more closely.[citation needed]
Mid-1990s to present[edit]
Over time, the bank gradually strengthened and was reintroduced to Kent County and Sussex County. In 1995, WSFS Bank opened its first branch in Kent County since the 1991 closings in the new Dover Metro Supermarket. The first new branch in Sussex County since the closings opened in Rehoboth Beach in July 2003 and moved to its current location in June 2004. New branch locations have since opened in Camden, Canterbury, Harrington, Lewes, Long Neck, Milford, Millsboro, Ocean View, Seaford, Selbyville, Smyrna, West Dover and Wyoming.
WSFS Bank has the largest ATM network in Delaware. The bank has ATMs located in all Delaware Walgreens pharmacies. Fee free ATMs are also located in most Grotto Pizza locations, Walmarts, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Food Lion locations. There are over 450 WSFS-owned ATMs in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
In 2007, WSFS Bank moved its corporate headquarters from 838 N. Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware, where it had resided since 1885,[2] to 500 Delaware Avenue.[3] The 838 Market Street location is listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places.[4] At the time it was built, the new location was the first multi-tenant building to be constructed in Wilmington since the late 1980s.[5]
WSFS steered through the Great Recession and came out stronger than before.[6] In 2010, WSFS began to expand further into southeastern Pennsylvania with the relocation of the Glen Mills branch. Opened since then are their locations in Edgmont, Kennett Square, Media and West Chester.
In 2011, WSFS celebrated its 25th Anniversary on NASDAQ. Continued growth came with the opening of a new regional headquarters and branch at the corners of Kirkwood Highway and Route 7 in Delaware in 2012.
In 2015, WSFS was named a "Top Workplace" for the 10th year in a row by the Wilmington News Journal. It was also announced that WSFS was voted #1 Bank in Delaware by readers of the Wilmington News Journal and delawareonline.com in their annual Readers' Choice Awards for 2015. This was the fifth consecutive year that WSFS was honored with this award.
WSFS offers traditional retail banking services such as checking and savings accounts, certificates of deposit, consumer mortgages, lines of credit, and home equity loans, and also offers commercial banking services for small businesses, business banking and middle market customers, and for real estate development and investment. WSFS also offers investment products through WSFS Wealth Investments, and wealth and trust management services through Christiana Trust.
In 2015, WSFS introduced WSFS Mobile Cash, a service that allows Customers to securely withdraw cash from an ATM by using their WSFS Mobile Banking app. Customers can use their mobile phones to click on a special feature of the WSFS app, touch the "WSFS Mobile Cash" button on any WSFS Bank branch ATM screen, select the withdrawal amount, scan a picture of the unique cash code on the screen using their phone and then retrieve their cash and receipt from the ATM. WSFS was the fourth bank in the United States to offer this service.[7]
Also in 2015, launched of the Zenbanx account, a mobile, multi-currency solution for people who live, work or travel across borders. The launch of the Zenbanx multi-currency account in the United States was the result of a strategic partnership between Zenbanx and WSFS Bank. Zenbanx plans to establish its operations center in Delaware, which will bring approximately 150 jobs to the area over the next few years.[8]
In 2010, WSFS Bank acquired Christiana Bank & Trust company and integrated the trust division as part of WSFS's Wealth Management division. The trust business has grown steadily since 2010 and now has more than $10 billion under administration. Christiana Trust provides full service wealth management to individuals including brokerage, trust, investment management and banking products. The Christiana Trust division also services corporations through corporate trust services.[9]
In 2013, it was announced that WSFS purchased Array Financial Group, Inc., a Delaware Valley mortgage banking company and a related entity, Arrow Land Transfer Company (Arrow), an abstract and title company. Both are headquartered in nearby Haverford, Pennsylvania.
In December 2013, WSFS announced the acquisition of The First National Bank of Wyoming and was granted approval by the OCC in June 2014 to complete the purchase of the bank, which was headquartered in Wyoming, Delaware. WSFS completed the acquisition in September 2014, acquiring approximately $230 million in deposits and $288 million in total assets. This includes $186 million in commercial, small business and consumer loans.[10]
WSFS announced in April 2015 that it would acquire Alliance Bank, headquartered in Broomall, Pennsylvania and was granted approval by the OCC in September 2015. Alliance Bank has eight branches and reported approximately $421 million in assets, $310 million in loans and $345 million in deposits as of December 2014. The merger was complete in October 2015, giving WSFS 17 locations in southeastern Pennsylvania, including 11 in Delaware County.[1]
In November 2015, WSFS announced it would acquire Penn Liberty Bank, headquartered in Wayne, Pennsylvania. It received all approvals to complete the acquisition in April 2016. The merger is expected to be complete in August 2016. Following the combination, WSFS Bank will have over 70 offices including 24 locations in southeastern Pennsylvania, significantly strengthening WSFS' market position in that region.[11][12]

Jersey 1.9.1 & Grizzly Async (HTTP) Client integration
By alexismp on Sep 16, 2011
With the release of Jersey 1.9.1, "conference-driven development" (CDD) is not an empty word. In his blog post Martin shares the Jersey-based JavaOne OAuth Hands-on Lab requirements that lead to this release while the full release notes are here.
Meanwhile, Grizzly 2.x is making good progress and the latest trunk includes integration of Jean-François' Async HTTP Client Library (AHC). Ryan, from the Grizzly team, details the status of the ongoing work on his blog, including plans for a Grizzly bundle that includes the HTTP Codec library (grizzly-http), the AHC library and its Grizzly provider. This should all be out in stable form by Grizzly 2.2.

Jersey experimental work : true non-blocking client
By alexismp on Jul 05, 2011
Pavel Bucek has been working on support for true non-blocking client support in Jersey. This frees developers from having to manipulate threads (which would result in poor use of resources anyhow) and is based on Jean-François Arcand's Async Http Client (AHC).
This is still experimental work at this point but could change rapidly if the feedback is positive and constructive. Note that the client API is part of the JAX-RS 2.0 scope.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
" You must write, and read, as if your life depended on it. " Rich ( An Atlas of the Difficult World ) seems to do as she says, and that's partly why her work is so powerful. This collection of her essays, notebook excerpts and letters shares the poet's thinking and her passion. Rich writes not only about poetry as a literary entity but about our need for it as a force for personal truth and political action. She is not prescriptive. Instead, she urges democracy in poetry, a broadening of possibilities, and suggests poetry--"a social art"--as a means of larger change, "pulling us toward each other." The pieces here do some of that pulling. Rich discusses the place of poetry in shopping malls; the livelihoods of poets; their education; Muriel Rukeyser as a neglected master; Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson as progenitors and "extremists" of American poetry; and the influence of Wallace Stevens on her own work. But regardless of topic, Rich continually affirms poetry as a way of reawakening "desire and need" long suppressed or forgotten by many. Her conviction also reawakens, offering hope toughened by experience.

From Kirkus Reviews
Award-winning poet Rich offers a new volume of collected essays (Blood, Bread, and Poetry, 1986, etc.) that feature her distinct blend of feminist polemics and sharp-sighted analysis of the American condition, spiced with verses from a range of kindred spirits. Poetry is as necessary as food, shelter, education, and other human basics, Rich asserts, exploring the relationship between a poet's social responsibility and the world of experience that provides poetry's raw material. The notion of artist-activists remains primary even as Rich acknowledges that poetry, with limited ``value'' in a market economy as entrenched as ours, has been effectively marginalized. The struggle for political power through poetic expression is an engagement on many fronts, as minority voices speak out along with oppressed women, the poor along with the gay community. Quoting Muriel Rukeyser, June Jordan, and others to emphasize that poetry can convey valuable messages of social redemption, Rich also draws on sources from Trotsky to Wallace Stevens to illustrate her own educational path. Her understanding that racism and sexism are integral parts of the social landscape wasn't attained overnight, and the painful process of emergence from an early life of privileged narrowness into a fuller awareness is recounted at length. The transformative, conjuring power of poetry is reaffirmed throughout, with its potential impact enhanced as it finds its rightful place in the cultural mainstream. Challenging and rewarding as always, although at times the essays serve as little more than venues for the poetry and words of others. In giving access to lesser-known but like-minded writers, Rich has reduced her own presence--a disappointing trade-off. -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP.

UK To Airlines: Green Up Or Else
September 28, 2007 07:29 PM - Paul Schaefer, ENN
London, -- The United Kingdom told airlines to green up, or else, and soon. The government acted decisively today to safeguard the proposed European aviation emissions trading scheme and urged the international aviation community to take greater action to address aviation emissions. Secretary of State for Transport Ruth Kelly, said: "We want to work with our international partners to achieve a global solution to this global problem. If international negotiations deliver an effective solution then we will have achieved our goal through co-operation. But I am also clear that the UK, and the environment, cannot wait for ever. That is why we are reserving the right - if an international solution is not found - to act in the wider global interest by extending the EU emissions trading scheme to all flights arriving and departing from the European Union.
Solar Parking Lot Will Deliver 1-Megawatt To Santa Rosa, California
September 28, 2007 07:20 PM -
SAN JOSE and SANTA CLARA, Calif., - SunPower Corporation, a manufacturer of high-efficiency solar cells, solar panels and solar systems, and Agilent Technologies today announced they'll install a 1-megawatt solar tracking system at Agilent's Santa Rosa, Calif., campus on top of a canopy structure in the campus parking lot, providing both shade in the lot and solar electric power for the facility. A lot of power.
The SunPower Tracker, which follows the sun's movement throughout the day. Using SunPower solar panels, the highest efficiency panels on the market today, the system is expected to generate an estimated 1.8 million kilowatt-hours per year, offsetting more than 33 million pounds of carbon dioxide over the next 30 years. This is equivalent to planting more than 4,700 acres of trees or removing 3,300 cars from California's roadways.

Ice-Based Airconditioning Takes Off In California
September 26, 2007 03:02 PM - Paul Schaefer, ENN
SAN FRANCISCO - A company that makes an ice-based air-conditioning system is teaming up with a major public utility, PG & E, in California in a $10-million dollar project. The ice-based air conditioner uses cheaper nighttime electricity to make ice and then uses that ice for daytime cooling needs. The units cooling looks almost identical to a standard AC unit. The systems lowers peak daytime demand significantly, shifting the energy load up to 95%. The California Public Utilities Commission says permanent load shifting technologies deliver a number of benefits to both utilities and energy consumers, including added protection against shortages during heat waves and reduced reliance on the construction of new generation plants.

Nygård continued to promote the principle of Free Trade with many community and international leaders and groups:
In 1984, Nygård was appointed Co-Chairman of a 15-member task force created to make recommendations to the Federal Government about long-term industrial strategies for Canada's textile and clothing industries.
In 1985, he was the only – more... apparel representative to be appointed to the International Trade Advisory Committee (ITAC), a body which is charged with the task of formulating and advising the Government of all matters of trade including the US - Canada bilateral negotiations.
In 1986, Nygård was appointed to the Sectoral Advisory Group on International Trade (SAGIT) as Chairman of the Apparel & Fur Group to further assist with the principles and policies of Free Trade. Globalization and the liberalization of trade have always been mainstays of his business philosophy, but Nygård believes this must be tempered with new philosophies and realistic Government policies.
In 1989, amongst his political endeavors, Peter Nygård became a founding member of the Canada - USSR Business Council to be the leading voice for trade between the two countries. This honorary appointment resulted in Nygård spending much time away from his business, to conduct face-to-face meetings with world leaders of that time, such as Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. – less–ZoomInfo

Audrina Patridge's psychologist dream
There are 1 comment on the Yahoo! story from Jul 8, 2011, titled Audrina Patridge's psychologist dream. In it, Yahoo! reports that:
Audrina Patridge wanted to be a psychologist when she was at school. The 'Sorority Row' star was keen to pursue the career and was set to go to college to study for a degree but she was offered the chance to move to Hollywood to become an actress and chose that instead.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Yahoo!.

As a psychologist Audrina could have analyzed why she dismantled herself! Look at her last FHM cover in the red bikini and white striped bikini compared to the new FHM. Ouch! Shortly after Dancing With The Stars Audrina had her signature cleavage totally removed! She WAS unique in Hollywood in 2010. Adorable, ample, cleavage on a slender toned body. Not any more. In 2011 she's an ordinary flat, shapeless, Hollywood waif with good hair. It is curious why she would go through a procedure to make herself look less attractive. Maybe she's planning on going back to school to get that psychology degree!
