{UAH} Edward Mulindwa, you guys need a lot of help! Ivanka Trump takes her father's seat at world leaders' table during a G-20 meeting

HAMBURG — President Trump's daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump has an expansive portfolio in her father's administration. But on Saturday, she literally took his seat at the table at the Group of 20 summit.
The first daughter was spotted slipping into Trump's seat at a working session on "Partnership with Africa, Migration and Health," putting her shoulder-to-shoulder with British Prime Minister Theresa May. Russian President Vladimir Putin was sitting one seat down.

Trump's presence at the high-level table was somewhat unusual, given that government ministers or senior officials are typically the ones called to stand in for heads of state at such sessions. But she is both the president's daughter and an "assistant to the president," a title with no defined portfolio or salary.
She entered the session with her father but "briefly joined the main table when the President had to step out," a spokesman for the first daughter said.
It isn't the first time Ivanka Trump has participated in high-level meetings at the summit. On Thursday night she and her husband Jared Kushner, another Trump adviser, joined the president at a bilateral meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Kushner also participated in Trump's bilateral meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on Friday.
Earlier on Saturday, Ivanka Trump and her father participated in a World Bank session on women's entrepreneurship, an issue that she has been particularly focused on.

In his remarks, Trump praised his daughter effusively for her work as a "forceful advocate" for women entrepreneurs: "I'm very proud of my daughter, Ivanka — always have been, from day one — I had to tell you that, from day one," Trump said. "She's always been great. A champion. She's a champion."
Ivanka Trump has taken up a slate of issues since taking a role in the West Wing, including workforce training, paid family leave, and women's economic empowerment as her portfolio. But she has also weighed in on major disputes within her father's administration, including disagreeing with her father on his decision to leave the Paris Climate Agreement.
Much has been made of the degree to which she disagrees with him on tone and substance. And on Saturday, he seemed to acknowledge that he often puts his daughter in a difficult position. "If she weren't my daughter it would be so much easier for her," Trump said. "Might be the only bad thing she has going, if you want to know the truth."
She has defended the role she plays in her father's administration, saying that while she disagrees with him, she does not always air those disagreements in public.
"I would say not to conflate lack of public denouncement with silence," she told CBS in an interview in April. "I think there are multiple ways to have your voice heard.
"In some cases, it's through protest and it's through going on the nightly news and talking about or denouncing every issue on which you disagree with. Other times it is quietly and directly and candidly," she added. "So where I disagree with my father, he knows it and I express myself with total candor."
The president and his older daughter also differ greatly in terms of temperament. Ivanka reportedly pleaded with her father to apologize after the disclosure of a 2005 tape from Access Hollywood in which he bragged about sexually assaulting women.
While she is known for her measured discipline, her father frequently lashes out at his perceived enemies on social media and in public. Most recently, he attacked Mika Brzezinski, calling the MSNBC host "crazy" and claiming that she was "bleeding badly" from her face after a cosmetic surgery operation.

Rolls Rolls, located at Chmielna 13, is a place ran by a group of friends who worked hard to open the doors to the first guests on December 19th.
At Rolls Rolls we serve sushi in a form that's very popular in Australia – we do not cut it, we serve it in a roll, for quick and easy eating. Each roll comes with a sauce, which serves to enrich its taste. Rolls Rollsis a great option for a snack, lunch, moment of culinary pleasure during the day, dinner (one roll for a smaller appetite, two and more for the truly hungry).Rolls work perfectly in a party setting: before, during and after when it's hard to find anything to eat other than kebab or other unhealthy fast food.

This riveting story is inspired by the author's experiences in Mexico City. Carla, an American estranged from her Mexican father, heads to Mexico City to find herself. A story about the youthful desire to live an authentic life and the consequences of trusting easy answers, La perdida-at once grounded in the particulars of life in Mexico and resonantly universal-is a story about finding oneself by getting lost. NOTE: Published originally in English with the same title, La perdida. An emotional, beautifully crafted odyssey. -Kirkus Reviews

Brain-Computer Interface
A few weekends ago I went to see the new Robocop movie in a theater. Although I am not one to necessarily think too much of sci-fi movies, one particular scene caught my attention. In the scene, a doctor was explaining to his patient that his new prosthetic arms were actually controlled by his brain and would function like any other arms. He then handed him a guitar and told him to "think" the music. The man began to play the guitar flawlessly with his robo-arms.
I had heard rumors about technology like this before, but I never really looked into it until that weekend. I began to read articles about Brain-Computer Interfaces. I learned that the technology is close and that these brain-machine interfaces are actually on there way to being a definite reality. However, according to a lecture given at Berkley, "Two key challenges remain before these devices are widely available: the development of practical and reliable physical interfaces and the achievement of nearly natural movement." Though an exact deadline for this technology is unknown, it is apparent that the merging of humans and machines is becoming less of a sci-fi movie and more of a reality.

The 100 best movies of all time as chosen by actors
We asked actors for the best movies of all time, from comedies and classic romances to blockbusters and foreign gems
What are the best movies of all time? Depends on who you ask, of course. We've got our own ideas, ranging from the best movies out right now, to all-time Academy Award-winning classics. But in a fascinating experiment, we've decided to ask only actors—including such luminaries as Juliette Binoche, Andy Serkis, Bill Hader and Nick Kroll—for their favorites. After receiving dozens of ballots from working professionals and compiling their votes, we present a distinctly performance-centric top-100 list, filled with great picks. Dive in and let us know where you differ.
Edited by Joshua Rothkopf, produced by Vivienne van Vliet. Written by Dave Calhoun, Cath Clarke, David Ehrlich, Tom Huddleston and Joshua Rothkopf.
100 best movies as chosen by actors
Tootsie (1982)
Director: Sydney Pollack
Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Jessica Lange, Bill Murray
A struggling actor (Hoffman) secretly cross-dresses as a woman to land a role in a daytime soap opera—and gets too good at the deception.
"Who doesn't want to see Dustin Hoffman in a dress talking with a southern accent?"—Nick Kroll
"The game-changing cinematic cross-dressing performance—and a more important movie, from both a craft and sensibility perspective, than most people make it."—BD Wong
Time Out says: "The tone is quick-witted and appealing, with some of the smartest dialogue this side of Billy Wilder, and a wonderfully sure-footed performance from Jessica Lange."
The Godfather (1972)
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Cast: Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan
The stately, Oscar-winning Mafia epic revived Marlon Brando's career and made a star of Al Pacino.
"The richness of the world that Francis Ford Coppola creates, and the stillness of Al Pacino's performance—I almost luxuriate in these things because the feeling is so intense."—George MacKay
Time Out says: "An everyday story of Mafia folk, incorporating a severed horse's head in the bed and a number of heartwarming family occasions, as well as pointers on how not to behave in your local trattoria (i.e., blasting the brains of your co-diners all over their fettuccini)."
A Woman Under the Influence (1974)
Director: John Cassavetes
Cast: Gena Rowlands, Peter Falk, Fred Draper
Gena Rowlands gives one of the most emotionally charged performances in the history of cinema as a housewife experiencing a nervous breakdown. Peter Falk costars as the husband driving her around the fabled bend.
"Gena Rowlands made such an impact on me. She is one my great influences."—Betty Buckley
"This is one of the most incredible performances I have ever seen. Gena Rowlands makes me physically tense while watching her downward spiral but not in a way that she blocks you out. You can see every fleeting thought and feeling flicker across her face and body. Unbelievable."—Kyle Soller
Time Out says: "Rowlands unfortunately overdoes the manic psychosis at times, but Falk is persuasively insane as the husband, and the result is an astonishing, compulsive film, directed with a crackling energy."
Cinema Paradiso (1988)
Director: Giuseppe Tornatore
Cast: Philippe Noiret, Enzo Cannavale, Antonella Attili
A warm, romantic story about an elderly Italian projectionist's friendship with a young boy.
"I seriously wonder if the people who dismiss this film have ears. Cinema Paradiso is mainly a delivery device for Ennio Morricone's most profoundly emotional score—and there's a lot of competition for that title. Overall, it's a pure an expression of movie love as I have ever seen."—Joshua Rothkopf, New York film editor
Time Out says: "The film retains its wide-eyed charm, pitched halfway between unrestrained romanticism and unknowing kitsch. It's never exactly been fashionable to like Cinema Paradiso, and time won't have done much to soften the sneers of dissenters. But the advantage of brazen sentimentality is that it gives the film very little to lose."
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
Director: Robert Mulligan
Cast: Gregory Peck, John Megna, Frank Overton
This adaptation of Harper Lee's landmark novel features Gregory Peck as an Alabama lawyer who defies prejudice by defending a young black man accused of rape.
"It's my favorite book, and they didn't fuck it up. 'Stand up, your father is passing'—the line still makes me weep. It's a masterclass in how it is always better to do what is right than what is popular."—Emma Kennedy
Time Out says: "It looks like a storybook of the Old South, with dappled sunlight and woodwormy porches, and Peck is everyone's favorite uncle."
The Godfather: Part II (1974)
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Cast: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall
With this grand, sweeping sequel, Coppola cuts between Mafia don Vito Corleone's youth in Sicily (and later, New York City) and the fallout from his death decades later.
"There's the taut, simmering intensity of Al Pacino; there's the warm, swaggering charisma of Robert De Niro; and there's Robert Duvall's masterfully understated performance. I mean, it's The Godfather—what can I say?"—Riz Ahmed
Time Out says: "This is quite simply one of the saddest movies ever made, a tale of loss, grief and absolute loneliness, an unflinching stare into the darkest moral abyss."
Annie Hall (1977)
Director: Woody Allen
Cast: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton
Woody Allen is Alvy Singer, a New York comic trying to understand what went wrong during his bumpy love affair with the complex, winning Annie (Keaton).
"When I think of this film, I think of two scenes: first, Diane Keaton and Woody Allen's characters struggling to cook lobsters; second, Woody's Alvy going for Easter lunch with Annie's relatives and us seeing how they all see him as a rabbi. The rapport between Woody and Diane is electric. The film now feels like a blueprint for so many that came later on—and not just Woody's own."—Dave Calhoun, Global film editor, Time Out
Time Out says: "This is the link between Woody Allen's 'earlier, funnier' stuff and more probing works like Interiors and Manhattan. Would that we all could build such masterful bridges."
Boogie Nights (1997)
Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds
Anderson's sprawling tale about a genuinely "gifted" porn star (Mark Wahlberg) is where the director's talent for big-picture storytelling first made itself apparent. It also wins the contest for the best prosthetic-cock cameo of the past few decades, hands down.
"Punch Drunk Love is probably my favorite of Paul Thomas Anderson's movies, but this is the one I think best marries his ambition, technical perfection and sheer verve. One of America's all-time greatest filmmakers hit it out of the park at essentially his first at-bat."—Zoe Kazan
"His films are where you dream of being as an actor."—Patrick Kennedy
Time Out says: "What stiffens this unashamedly exhibitionist movie's muscles are its beautifully judged performances, from Burt Reynolds' stand-out as porn-king auteur/father figure, to Julianne Moore's superb cokehead survivor-star and William H. Macy's humiliated cuckold, right down to Philip Seymour Hoffman's gut-wrenching gay crew member."
The Red Shoes (1948)
Director: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger
Cast: Anton Walbrook, Marius Goring, Moira Shearer
A heady, dazzling tale of a dancer (Shearer) caught between the demands of love and work.
"Pretty much perfect in every way. Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger were masters, and this film about the heights and depths of creativity makes full use of their talents."—Zoe Kazan
"Completely unique and compelling."—Anne-Marie Duff
Time Out says: "Blending impressionist art and expressionist film; blurring the barriers between theater and cinema, body and camera, reality and dream; drawing equally on the avant-garde and the classical; the centerpiece ballet is a sequence of sheer, reckless transcendence."
Taxi Driver (1976)
Director: Martin Scorsese
Cast: Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd
Yes, as a matter of fact, we are talkin' to you. Robert De Niro stars as a psychotic cabbie alongside Jodie Foster, who plays a pubescent prostitute, in this classic set in seedy '70s Gotham.
"I first saw this when I was in fifth grade at a sleepover and it completely changed my life. For me it's the best directed and acted film of all time. If you want to learn how to act on film, all you have to do is watch Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver."—Bill Hader
Time Out says: "Right from the opening credits, as we spy a cab emerging from steam and the eyes of Travis Bickle (De Niro) reflected in his rear-view mirror, we know we're in someone's personal hell."

Hey buddy I think you forgot a movie on this list. #1 should be Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Thanks, tell me when you update the list!
Hey, yeah I agree! This list is so wrong >:(
Shall we sue?
Totes, my dude!!! Love that movie so much :)
Marry me ;)
No Lawrence of Arabia???
Just goes to show, being one of the worlds "leading actors" doesn't necessarily qualify you to know anything about what actually makes a great movie. Almost exclusively "Oscar bait" movies that appeal to the old rich white guys behind the academy of motion pictures, moving story, triumph against the odds, cliché cliché cliché, formulaic plot device, happy ending. Nothing outside of the mainstream is even considered as having merit.
@Rhys D Not just old white guys affect Oscar bait movies don't forget how much women, young and old, and their tastes affect Hollywood - in a bad way. Example: Over emotionalized tear jerkers for starters.
Schindler's List at 100? What about Lady Sings The Blues in this count?
This list is so upside down and inside out that it's actually entertaining.
Best film all time is for me "Was upon a time in America¨
So nice to see Tootsie #1 as it's one of the most under rated movies of all time. It just came out in the wrong year, with ET and Ghandi completely overshadowing it. It would have won the Academy award for best movie in many other years.
People complaining about the list, it's a list of 70 actors in the industry.
Where is The Last of Us? I swear it's a freakin movie.
Silence of the lambs? Forest Gump? 12 angry men? The sound of music?
@Alfredo M No. Definitely NO, nope and are you kidding?
The Silence of the Lambs?
Also...One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest seems a little low. But hey like you depends on who you ask. Thanks for the list!
Where is Die Hard? The best action movie of all time.
Where is titanic movie .it must be at 1st position.
How the hell did LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy not make this list lol
@Em P this list based on 70 actors who gave their 10 favorite movies. I don't know why Time out editor giving "best" to this article
I'm surprised to see Tootsie on here! I'll check it out!
Also, no animation? Was that excluded?
And no seven samurai?
Why did I waste my time. The Shawshank Redemption is a top 5 all time movie for almost every person I know and it's not even mentioned? Platoon? Apollo 13? The Silence of the Lambs? The Matrix? Back to the Future? Uh, hello?
The Master, Birdman, The Fisher King, The Shawshank Redemption, The English Patient, Good Will Hunting, Rain Man???
I don't see Birdman being in the top 100.
None of them are that good
Hello, any Lord of the Rings movies in there?...This list is a complete bullshit!
this list is a shit..shawshank redemption is not even in the list
Are you shitting me? Tootsie is #1? And Lawrence of Arabia wasn't even ON the list? I was sure it would be #1 when I hadn't seen it through the first 99 entries.
Also, I absolutely adore Boogie Nights, but it doesn't belong in the top 10. Especially not with Casablanca and Citizen Kane like 30 spots below it.
Definitely THE strangest list,even to a phillistine like me,as someone already mentioned,very much a performance driven list
where is the DARK KNIGHT
Wow. A horrible list in many respects. Dog Day Afternoon #11??? And then, I nearly killed myself....looking for, expecting to see The Seven Samurai as number one....and almost went comatose....when...TOOTSIE came up!!!!!!
The Best Actors and Actresses selected this number ONE!!!!
Absolute insanity: better than Clockwork Orange, Raging Bull, etc.???!!!!
Quite a number of these movies I haven't seen but many of them should not even be on the list: Star Wars? Seriously? Goodfellas (entertaining as hell but surely no in the top 100 of all time....although I can see someone giving it something in the 90s.
2001 is not even on the list along with The Seven Samurai? But Harold and Maude is on the list??
Caberet was NOT on the list???
My respect for these so-called actors and actresses has GONE WAY DOWN. More than half of them must be clowns and morons.
This is the most nonsensical list I've ever seen. You know what this reminds me of? Imagine taking 500 top movie picks from the last 100 years, culled by any and all groups you can think of until you have a list of 500. Write the movie title of each one on a piece of paper, and put them in a jar. Then, starting at a 100 pick one out of the jar. That's 100. Do the same thing another 99 times until you get to 1. 400 won't make the "Top 100" and the 100 that do make it just mean they were 1 of the top 500.
That's about how much sense this list makes.
Foreign films are - as usual, in any of the lists available in the Internet - almost excluded.
It can not be a list of the " best films ever" without Fellini. 8 1/2. Amacord. La Strada. Can it be?
Really? Without Pasolini. Salo. The most controversial film ever. With a script by none other than
Roland Barthes. A list that doesn't includes Visconti? Buñuel? That does not include Griffith? That
does not include the Marx Brothers? Chaplin?Buster Keaton? That does not include Abel Gance, with
"Napoleon"? That does not includes John Waters (see how flexible am I) with " Pink Flamingo? I could go on, and on, and on, for hours on end. Please, do not, ever, ever, ever, make a list of the best films ever, which does not includes foreign films. Such as " O dragão da maldade contra o santo guerreiro", by Glauber Rocha, a brazilian filmmaker. Don't do it. America, for sure, is the most important country in terms of film production. But America, the United States, is what it is. A country. Not the world. Agreed?
Where is forrest Gump or shawshank redemption
Forrest ok. Shawshank shouldn't be here.
I love that it is more weighted toward the last 30 years than usual lists. And I love that many foreign films are included. But "Tootsie" as #1??? What are you smoking? "Tootsie" is likeable enough, but I can think of a dozen better movies for the top ten (or top 100) that were overlooked:
- Miller's Crossing
- Magnolia
- Master and Commander
- Shawshank Redemption
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- Amelie
- In the Mood for Love (Dir: Wong Kar Wai)
- Bullitt
- The Wild Bunch
- L.A. Confidential
- Chungking Express
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (original)
- Network
- All the President's Men
- Dangerous Liaisons
- The Dark Knight
- Lawrence of Arabia
- Seven Samurai
And so forth.... Try again, boys and girls.
In no particular order:
28 Days Later
Black Sea
Das Boot
Waltz with Bashir
Hitlerjunge Salomon
"A Very Long Engagement"
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
12 Monkeys
Battle Royale
Lord of War
American Beauty
Born on the 4th of July
The Departed (Hollywood remake)
Interview with the Vampire
The Thin Red Line
And in no way exhaustive...and this might be heresay but I don't understand the hard on for Shawshank. You can go to a skinhead and he'll cry tears of love when you say Shawshank. It's good, maybe even really good, but the best of all time on every list? Most of these titles will be familiar to you but please do not miss even one of them. It could be the missing piece that will complete and change you life, unless you're a golden age snob.
@Julius C Okay maybe you don't like Shawshank but list movies like Lord of War, Tigerland and Enigma? Those three movies probably dont make a top 1000 list.
what about
The book thief
shawshank redemption
Green mile
Apocalypto 2005
Not here
The Professional? You've got to be kidding. The theme of an old curmudgeon reluctantly caring for an adorable child was done far better in "Kolya," which also had a political significance completely lacking from "The Professional." The plot holes big enough to sail the U.S.S. Enterprise through are enough by themselves to disqualify this piece of dreck.
I disagree. The acting was phenomenal. Definitely deserves to be somewhere in the top 100 even if towards the bottom of the list.
Holy crappppp. It is as if the people creating the list were playing an inside joke attempting to make the reader angry.
This is nearly a pure crap list. Many filmmakers like the Coens and Tarantino film's listed are not even their best films.
The Professional????? Tootsie??? Star Wars??? To Kill a Mocking Bird ( a crap film that is nearly slapped pages on the screen instead of cinema).
Come on?????
Bizarre list
I went through the 1-10 voting lists and executed a quick ctrl+F sweep. No Vertov... How can we trust any of these people? Actor's know very little about Cinema.

|Light interception and growth in agroforestry systems

|Availability of Full Text:
While the light regimes of closed forest strands and open pasture have been quantitatively described and modelled, agroforestry involves greater complexity and spatial variability. This research involved intensive measurement of quantum flux density (QFD) above and below re-spaced tree strands of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis [Bong.] Carr.) and hybrid larch (Larix x eurolepis Henry) in conjunction with measurement of tree growth. QFD was also measured above and below pasture growing in boxes in imported soil sunk to ground level beneath the trees. The Monteith hypothesis that crop growth in unstressed conditions is linearly related to the amount of QFD intercepted by its canopy was found to hold for above ground growth of trees at agroforestry spacings. The overall dry matter: QFD quotient (e) for Picea sitchensis across the range of tree frequencies was 0.32 g mol-1 which is lower than typical values reported for agricultural crops, young container grown trees of Salix viminalis and Populus trichocarpa and closed-canopy Picea sitchensis, but comparable with previous estimates for a range of mature tree stands. e was unaffected by tree spacing, but was significantly higher for the tall tree stand which had been pruned. The mean annual QFD transmitted to the understorey varied from 39% to 96% of that in the open across the agroforestry treatments. The mean transmittance was similar but spatial variability of QFD was significantly higher in tree stands with crown to ground level when compared with stands having similar crown dimensions but which had been pruned to approximately 1.3 m height. More than 90% of seasonal pasture growth could be explained by a regression of growth on incident QFD.

Amnesty is defined as an act of forgiveness for past offenses, especially to a class of persons as a whole. Amnesty is a dirty word in political circles if you are a republican, but a vote getting policy if you are democrat. Most democrats I know portray it as the compassionate and caring thing to do to protect families. Democrats want amnesty, and push it as a way to get more votes whether they want to admit it or not. Why wouldn't an illegal immigrant want amnesty and then in turn vote for the party that gave it to them? That is just simple human nature. It isn't necessarily nefarious behavior on the part of the immigrant, but it is on the part of Democrats. It is tragic that they use this issue, and manipulate entire people groups to get votes, and this behavior extends far beyond immigration. Just look at Abortion, and the Equal Rights movement.
I have witnessed this manipulation since I first got interested in politics in high school in the early 90's. Amnesty is a double edged sword when you examine it. One the hand it is billed as the compassionate answer to immigration since it keeps families from being torn apart. I believe most Americans do not want to see families ripped apart. As a whole I believe American's appreciate immigrants who come here, and put down roots. Immigrants who work to become productive members of society, and have a an appreciation for the ideals of American life. The other side of sword is the utter disrespect for the American rule of law, and it is a slap in the face to immigrants who choose to come to America legally. In my lifetime I have had the opportunity to meet so many immigrants who came to America legally. Most of them came as students and later became naturalised Americans. One such person is Bernard Guitier. Bernard is originally from France, but has been an American citizen since the early 90s. Bernard has become a successful restaurateur, and has been one of the more productive citizens I have met. He has stayed connected to his roots as a Frenchman, but is wholly American. When I think of all he went through to become an American the idea of Amnesty frustrates me. Why go through the process if all you need to do is cheat the system long enough until someone gives you amnesty? In my opinion this cheapens the efforts of every immigrant who followed the law, and became a naturalized citizen. Then there is the issue that amnesty basically makes breaking the law ok with little to no penalty. As a Republic built on the rule of law this behavior turns the foundations of our laws on their head. Allowing groups of people to circumvent the law without consequences creates a slippery slope for society. If you allow one law to be broken where do you draw the line? What happens when a group of people break a law that most people don't feel the effects of and push for amnesty on a compassionate argument? Who draws the line on what laws are ok to forgive with amnesty, and which are not? History shows us that if a group of people wait long enough, their cause can raise to the level of a political movement that will benefit them, and others like them.
In our nation's history Congress has passed eight amnesty bills. The first was passed under Ronald Reagan in 1986. The second was in 1990 under George H. W. Bush. The other six were passed under Bill Clinton in 1994, twice in 1997, 1998, and twice in 2000. The bill signed into office by Reagan is known as the Immigration and Reform Control Act or IRCA. The bill was a response to the quickly growing number of illegal immigrants in the US. The bill was seen as a massive compromise, and it essentially wiped the slate clean for illegals living the country. The 2 major groups impacted were illegal immigrants living in the nation since at least January 1st 1982, and those who had worked more than 90 days as an agricultural worker between May of 1985 to May of 1986. To balance itself out it included measure to increase border security. The ended up giving approximately 2.8 million people citizenship, but the border control aspects were seen as a failure or were never implemented. In the 1990 Immigration Act, an additional 160,000 spouses and minor children of aliens amnestied under IRCA were granted amnesty as well. These 160,000 aliens are not included in the total numeric impact of the amnesty. The first amnesty bill signed into law by Bill Clinton was the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1994. The act was set to sunset in September 1997 but was extended to the end of 1997. By the end of 1997 an estimated 578,000 immigrants were given amnesty. Also in 1997 President Clinton signed The Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act or NACARA. The original bills that were introduced in the House and the Senate, H.R. 2302 and S. 1976, would have benefited only certain Nicaraguans, Salvadorans and Guatemalans. Cubans and Eastern Europeans were added later to mollify the anti-Communist sentiments of some members of Congress. The 10-year impact of the NACARA Amnesty on U.S. population growth is estimated to be 966,480. In 1998 President Clinton signed The Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act or HRIFA. HRIFA was an amnesty program for Haitians. It was passed in the aftermath of the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA), when representatives of a long list of nationalities not included in NACARA claimed that it was discriminatory to refuse them the same special treatment. Haitians are the first group to succeed with this claim. As with NACARA, proponents of HRIFA sought to avoid a full congressional debate of the bill and so added it as an amendment to the omnibus appropriations bill for fiscal year 1999 (H.R. 4328), which was passed by both houses of Congress. HRIFA granted permanent resident status to any Haitians who had been in the United States since December 1995, along with their spouses and children, as long as they applied before April 1, 2000. Haitians granted amnesty under HRIFA were not counted against legal immigration ceilings, and no legal immigration ceilings were reduced to make up for the extra number of permanent immigrants. The 10-year impact of the Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act on U.S. Population growth is estimated to be 125,000. In 2000 The Late Amnesty Act was the result of an agreement between the Clinton White House, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, and Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert. The "late amnesty" allowed all illegal aliens who had been part of lawsuits claiming that they have been illegal aliens since before 1982, and should have received amnesty under the 1986 IRCA amnesty, but for various reasons were denied, to renew their request for the amnesty. The Late Amnesty of 2000 applied to an estimated 400,000 illegal aliens. The LIFE Act of 2000 that was passed in December, 2000 reinstated Section 245(i) for the first four months of 2001 (Jan-April). The House Immigration Subcommittee estimates that 900,000 aliens applied for adjustment of status in the first full year of the reinstatement.
"Suppose 20 millions of republican Americans thrown all of a sudden into France, what would be the condition of that kingdom? If it would be more turbulent, less happy, less strong, we may believe that the addition of half a million of foreigners to our present numbers would produce a similar effect here." -Thomas Jefferson

According to Maj. Filemon Tan, spokesman for the military's Western Mindanao Command, the troops were on security patrol when they clashed with an undetermined number of Abu Sayyaf fighters in Barangay Tugas.
He said the bandits were under Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Hairullah Asbang.
The Abu Sayyaf faction in Sulu is holding dozens of hostages including 14 Indonesian and four Malaysian tugboat crewmembers abducted in three incidents off Tawi-Tawi.
The group is also holding two Canadians, a Norwegian and a Filipina abducted last September at a resort in Samal island in Davao del Norte.
The kidnappers are demanding P300 million each for the two Canadians and the Norwegian and have given April 25 as deadline.
Military officials said operations are ongoing to rescue the captives.
Sulu is a stronghold of the Abu Sayyaf, a small but violent al Qaeda-linked group known for beheading, bombings and extortion activities. —KBK, GMA News

Here are some words from the project developers: ˇ°The idea of planning was initiated by a simple thing ¨C that need for a space meant to influence the mood at a subtle level of perception, that kind of perception which only culture might develop. Therefore this was a call for a room where to foremost promote and maintain culture. This idea was the result of two concepts converging two teams, namely Marius Bocan, Vlad Paul, George Mosoia- on one side, and Dan Paul, Bogdan Go?ia and Tiberiu Bucur- on the other. The second team was built up by three architecture students, their main focus being the conception of space language following the development of a clearer link between space and personality. This concept suited the idea of the first team to settle a cultural cafe for ClujˇŻs urban area. Cardboard-coffee-culture were eventually the elements which described the place located in Cluj somewhere on Memorandumului Street.

Babywearing Bliss
I love this photo.
The closeness of my baby to my heart, thanks to my Peanut Shell.
The pure contentment on her face.
The blueness of her eyes against the blue of her onsie.
The characteristic sucking of her middle fingers.
I wish we could stay like this forever.

Digimon Origins
NightHawk Digivice
A Digivice 01 modified by Kangee the Karatenmon
The Nighthawk Digivice is a modified version of the Digivice 01, granting its wielder many ninja arts. It allows its wielder to create shadow clones of his/herself to confuse the enemy, turn his/herself invisible to the naked eye, modify status errors positively or negatively, and to weaken the binds that hold a Digimon in its evolutionary form, allowing for more leniency in evolution and allowing evolution to take place with less burst (a Digimon's inherent evolution power).
Vlad Walker traveled to the WWW archipelago where he finds Kangee in the ruins of Himitsu village. Kangee realizes another human has fallen into his lap, and attempts to manipulate Vlad into his favor. He modifies Vlad's Digivice, combining it with his own research to attempt to unlock the secret behind catalyzed evolution. The result is the Nighthawk Digivice.

Im studying Psalm 139:13-14 as this weeks memory verse. Read it in your favorite Bible translation.
This verse speaks of being knit together in our mothers womb. If God pieced us together, he had a particular purpose. Lets look at his purpose.
Ephesians 2:10 tells us we are Gods workmanship. His creation is nothing less than perfect. The verse goes on to say we were created in Christ Jesus for good works. God prepared works for us to do. This is his purpose for us.
Some call this kingdom building. That is anything that contributes to the purposes of God on this earth. We can find many excuses for not taking part in the good works he prepared.
Most of the excuses Ive heard and used, have to do with not being able or not being good enough.
I cant serve the church because__ ______.
(Possible answers: my physical condition, I cant talk to people about spiritual matters, Im an introvert.)
Im of no use to the Kingdom because of ________.
(Possible answers: my past, my lack of knowledge, my inexperience.)
Is your answer listed?
If we cant take part in the good works God prepared, is it because we missing some essential ingredient? There are certainly those who are a great benefit to the church. They are talented. They are out-going. They are smarter. They are able.
Now lets look at this weeks memory verse.
In Psalm 139:13 David says You formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mothers womb. ESV
Those who have mastered the craft of knitting know that many small stitches fit together to create a larger creation. Each stitch, in that work of art, has a particular purpose. Some stitches look different, and some seem to be put in backwards. But each stitch has a reason and plays a part in the whole garment.
David, in the next verse, Psalm 139:14, says to his Lord, I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works. The NLT translates it as being wonderfully complex.
David composed this psalm, moved by the Holy Spirit. This is Gods word to his people. It says I am wonderfully complex, and so are you.
The Creator of heaven and earth makes no mistakes, so when he knit me together, he had a particular, perfect outcome in mind.
Each stitch of my being is by his design. Even the stitches that appear to be put in backwards. My past experiences, from before I knew the grace of Jesus Christ, play a part in Gods work of art. My shyness, even a halting gait caused by arthritis, can play a part in Gods perfect plan, if I offer myselfthe one he createdfor his kingdom.

Wordpress Popup Plugin
Budget $30-250 USD
I have a modified wordpress popup plugin that still needs a couple of items fixed.
1). I need to add the wordpress post loop to my popup message so that it can process the shortcode needed.
2). I need to also get the php snippet to popup a separate template when manually added.
I have everything installed and working and have detailed instructions/screenshots etc. and the only requirement is that this is taken care of asap today because I am behind schedule from waiting on another programmer that has delayed me for 3 days already and my client needed to have this working yesterday.
I also prefer that you speak fluent english and can use skype to communicate. I'm not interested in dealing with a project manager so do not bother responding if you are not the one who will be doing the code.

Weird Nature Drone Captures Tiger Shark Roaming Close to Shore
1.7k views
The setting for this drone video is a gorgeous, sunny beach day, but it's covering something creepy going on underwater.
The camera tilts up from a swimmer peacefully slicing through the beautiful waters off South Beach, Miami to the happy-looking summertime coast.
Suddenly, it cuts to a shadowy figure swimming underwater, and you can tell that it's not far from shore, or from where the swimmer was bathing so peacefully. Turns out it's a tiger shark in dangerously close-to-shore waters and the drone actually shows it calmly gliding between swimmers mere feet off shore.
It's freaky enough to warrant a watch, and to make you think twice before swimming in warm waters.

Holy ceiling batman...wait, that should be holey ceiling. Indeed, we woke up Sunday morning to the ceiling of our bedroom dripping water. Now we knew there was a leak somewhere in the roof above us, but it never seemed to make it all the way through the drywall and we could never find the source in the attic. This was all before we experienced this most recent rain storm, set to continue for the next entire week mind you. Sigh. Anyway, we are lucky to have a contractor friend who walked us through the best way to deal with this at 6:30 in the morning. Then I had the pleasure of climbing into the attic repeatably throughout the day to empty the bowl catching water from the now painfully obvious leak in the roof. This behavior will have to continue until the sky stops falling long enough that the source of the leak on the two story, tile roof can be located and fixed. Sound fun right? Yeah, I'm all sore from all the climbing and crawling this morning, but at least I do in fact have a roof over my head, so complaint over.
Do you remember recently I mentioned a large order request which I replied to with a rather large shipping quote and rather long completion time estimate? Well, I thought I had scared them off, but apparently it was just that they had 'thought' they had responded and it didn't go through. So I spent much of Sunday evening sussing out the details on that. I am still waiting for further correspondence as the last thing I had to debate was she intended to pay for everything when they are ready to ship and I think that won't work for me. I figure I should at least get some payment up front on an order that is likely to take me at least a month to complete. I keep thinking about spending all that time working on it only to have her change her mind because I took too long or something. Anyway, I think I didn't get a response only because it was really late in her time zone and she likely got off the computer, so hopefully we'll get that all worked out today so I can get to work on the single largest order I've ever had...or not.
'For Japan' medallions and I felt like I could sell more, if I had the bits to make more. So I dug through the clearance bins and came out with a few more dragon charms. I went ahead and re listed the medallion as soon as I got home. I haven't yet sold any more, but now I can sell as many as there are people who want one to help donate. I sent all the money I had already raised to the Red Cross on Saturday morning after the fourth had sold and I hold I get to do that again.
So today, it's working on the beginning bits of the large order, just in case everything works out. They are pieces I make often so if it doesn't work out, I'm just ahead of the curve stocking the shop and I'll move on to remaking some other pieces. Of course if things do get worked out for the large order, you may have to say goodbye to my creativity for spell, but I think we'll all live.

Big field for Kenya Open tourney at Nairobi Club
Monday December 11 2017
Over 100 entries have so far been received for this year's edition of the Kenya Open Junior Tennis Championship, organisers announced on Monday.
The annual competition, which is usually the last event in Tennis Kenya's calendar, serves off on Saturday and will run till December 20 at the Nairobi Club.
The tournament is open to junior players ranging from 12 to 18 years and the entries received so far include players drawn from Gabon, Madagascar, Burundi and Tanzania.
The tourney got a shot in the arm when sponsors, SGA gave Sh475,600 towards the running of the four-day championship. Last year's winners, among them Faith Nyabera (Under-16), Albert Njogu (Boys U-16), Roselinda Asumwa (Girls U-14 and 12), Kael Shah (Boys U-14) and Dhruv Kavia (Boys U-12) have all confirmed their participation.
Kwame Ndega and Anouk Vandevelde will also be back as they seek to defend their Under-10 boys' and girls' crowns. Home players will be banking on the familiar Nairobi Club courts to succeed.
Thursday has been set as the last day for registration.
"This tournament will help in identifying future stars and we are more than happy to be associated with it," SGA's General Manager, Michael Owino said.
Tennis Kenya's Paurvi Rawal said the competition will be closely contested especially with entries from outside the country.
"All the defending champions will be on show and together with the newcomers, we should be in for some good action and I call on fans to turn up cheer the young ones," the former Tennis Kenya chairperson said.
The tournament will also have a 'mini-tennis category for children below the age of 10 which will be held on Saturday.

I've been up to my ears in breads. MMMmmmmm. I do love bread. There is no way on earth that I could ever do an Atkins-type diet. No bread? How horrific!
As mentioned in an earlier post, I am working on a list of breads and spreads to be the taste samples for our wonderful church's Holiday Specialtea. Last week I really kicked it into high gear and made a large assortment of breads so I thought I'd share my findings with you. (The recipe titles are hyper-linked so go ahead and click to see the recipe).
Okay the first I made was Syrian Bread. It turned out pretty well. The first two did not puff up but the last six did. It really wasn't anything special. I think I would have preferred it to be a whole wheat pita. It was fun to use them for pita sandwiches with the kids. Over all, I give it a B- and think I'd look for another recipe for pita bread. So this one was taken off the list.
The second bread of the week was King Arthur's Asagio Ciabatta. This one is a two day process but relatively simple to make. The bread tasted great the first day - loved the chunks of oozy cheese. Sliced and used to make a turkey sandwich the next day, my husband said it was good enough to cater. I'm an even bigger fan of cheese than I am bread so putting the two of them together can't be wrong. This one goes on the list!
Next, I tried Lavash Cracker Bread. Very, very similar to the Syrian Bread in ingredients but totally different in texture. I felt it needed some visual "oomf" so I sprinkled with black sesame seeds while I rolled the subsequent rounds. They do need to be docked (pricked all over with a fork) before they were baked. I know the recipe author says you need to roll them very, very thin but I did and the first two still puffed up like pita bread. The docking took care of that problem. I paired this with a spread - Greek Feta and Olive spread. Oh my. OH MY! If you love Greek food (and I do!) then by all means, you must make this yummy spread. Delish!
Lastly, not to leave out our sweet breads, I made Coconut Pineapple Loaf Cake from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food PBS show. I know Martha Stewart has a reputation for using expensive, hard-to-find ingredients but Everyday Food is not like that at all. This quick bread/cake was a big hit at our small group bible study last night. Different and easy to make I call it a winner. The only change I would make would be to use pineapple tidbits (very well drained - maybe even pressed in a paper towel) and would be to increase the baking time by another 15 minutes.
So there you go! I'm sorry I don't have photos. I really should have snapped some but you know how life goes!

HIV Sexual Risk Behavior by Men Who use the Internet to Seek Sex with Men: Results of the Men's INTernet Sex Study-II (MINTS-II)
- 467 Downloads
- Citations
This study sought to identify the magnitude of HIV risk in a diverse sample of Men who use the Internet to seek Sex with Men (MISM), and test if specific subpopulations are at sufficiently increased risk to warrant tailored interventions. A sample of 2,716 American MISM, stratified by race/ethnicity, completed an Internet survey of online and offline sex seeking behavior during the last 3 months. Across most demographics, a minority of MISM reported unprotected anal intercourse with male partners (UAIMP). Across all demographics, risk of UAIMP substantially increased with partners met online. Other predictors of increased online partner risk include being 30–39 years old, having children, not living in the Northeast, and low income. HIV-positive men and African Americans reported increased online and offline partner risk. To address higher risk of UAIMP, online HIV interventions should prioritize the needs of MISM, especially HIV-positive men, with content focused on online-mediated liaisons.

Weekly Wrap | It's Going Down
But something else piqued my interest this week. Sometimes you have to look for subtle clues in order to get a sense of market sentiment, and I think I discovered something.
As the stock markets tanked this week, I got a quiet sense of desperate fear being reported through financial mainstream media in the form of "more than usual" bullish and optimistic posts, especially later in the week, in order to stem the flee. The crowning clue was when CBS This Morning stopped airing their usual stock market updates across the bottom of the television screen.
It's like the word is being put out behind the scenes to spin the news in order to get people to focus on anything else but a falling market. Do anything to allay fears and keep investors playing the game. It's not like I can't understand their reasons to do anything to prevent another market meltdown, but I can't see how they're going to succeed. Investors will eventually see through their schemes.
The global slowdown has corporate profits falling, and that doesn't bode well for either stocks or for unemployment levels. And it's not like there's anything on the horizon domestically to cheer about economically, although some people are trying to be cheery. Even The Vanguard Group is putting a positive spin on flat or worsening economic data.
The only bright side anywhere economically is perhaps the housing market, but personally, I see that sector's short term growth leveling out or producing very slow growth at best.
Although the focus in the news has been the fiscal cliff, it isn't the only thing that investors should be worried about. The world has descended into even further chaos since my last post discussing our current problems. Recessions, riots, and violent demonstrations against austerity and corruption are increasing throughout Europe and South America, and we're on the verge of war in the Middle East.
So, you can buy into the spin and be the Huckleberry left holding the bag. But for me, I'm still going to remain in cash, and I'm still expecting even more stock market declines. It's going down.
7 comments:
Right when I say "it's going down", the stock markets rally this Thanksgiving week. According to MarketWatch.com -ReplyDelete
["U.S. stocks ended higher on Friday and posted strong weekly gains, as encouraging economic reports from Germany and China buoyed the mood on Wall Street. Early indications of Black Friday sales pointed to momentum for U.S. retailers as they head into the all-important holiday season.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 172.79 points, or 1.4%, to end at 13,009.68; for the week, it gained 3.4%. The S&P 500 index climbed 18.12 points, or 1.3%, to 1,409.15, leaving it up 3.6% for the week. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite advanced 40.30 points, or 1.4%, to end at 2,966.85; for the week, it rose 4%."]
So, does this mean that I've changed my own personal outlook about where the markets are headed in the near term, and that I'm moving back into equities? Nope.
I still believe it's all a spin and that there's no good reason for the stock markets to surpass pre-recessionary levels. The predators are just trying to lure their prey in for the kill.
I'm remaining fully invested in cash even if the S&P 500 Index happens to irrationally climb to 1500. Because - that's the way I roll, never letting fear or greed overcome my sensibilities.
Via Nassim Taleb.. "Likewise, any last-minute deal to avoid the spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to go into effect on Jan. 1 isn't likely to save us from economic turmoil. It would merely let us continue the policy mistakes we've been making for years, allowing us only to temporarily stabilize the economy rather than address its deep, systemic failures."ReplyDelete
Source - NYT: Stabilization Won't Save Us
"The United States economy unexpectedly reversed course in the final quarter of 2012 and contracted at a 0.1 percent rate, the Commerce Department said Wednesday, its worst performance since the aftermath of the financial crisis in 2009."ReplyDelete
Source: New York Tines
The conspiracy theorist in me can't help but think that the current administration may be saying to themselves - "Hey, we better make sure that we don't have two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth in case 2013 1st quarter results are "unexpectedly" as bad as last quarter 2012. We don't need any panicky folks using that word "recession" at this time."ReplyDelete
Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States -- increased at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012 (that is, from the third quarter to the fourth quarter), according to the "second" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Now that stocks have returned to record levels, I noticed that CBS This Morning has re-instituted it's on screen stock market updates.ReplyDelete
One striking feature of the March jobs report was the decline (again) in the labor force participation rate. If it had merely held steady from a year ago, the unemployment rate would have been 8.3% rather than 7.6%. So does the decline show a) something structurally wrong with the labor market such as not enough skilled workers, or b) lots of baby boomers heading off to retirement.ReplyDelete
Source: AEIdeas - This chart suggests the US labor market might be broken
Ignore that man behind the curtain. There's no spin going on here.ReplyDelete
First quarter gross domestic product was revised downward "again", and is reported to have expanded at a 1.8 percent annual rate in the quarter, the Commerce Department said in its final estimate.
The economy was previously reported to have grown at a 2.4 percent pace after a near stall-speed advance of 0.4 percent (revised upward from -0.1 percent) in the final three months of last year.

2016 proved to be a spectacular year for Ravichandran Ashwin as he finished the year as number one Test bowler.
In addition to that, he also continued to lead the all-rounders' table.
Indian cricket team, on the other hand, ended the year as the numero uno side in the latest list issued here.
Another Indian spin bowler Ravindra Jadeja finished the year as number two Test bowler.
This is just the second time the top two spots in the bowlers' chart is occupied by India players, with the pair emulating left-arm spinner Bishan Singh Bedi and leg-spinner Bhagwath Chandrasekhar, who were ranked one and two in 1974.
In the Test batsmen's ranking, India skipper Virat Kohli has ended the year at second position with Australia's Steve Smith heading the chart.
Pakistan opener Azhar Ali has moved up 10 places to reach a career-high sixth rank, riding on his scores of 205 not out and 43 in the second Test against Australia in Melbourne.
Meanwhile, Team India has ended the year as the No.1 ranked Test side with 120 ranking points, 15 points clear of second placed Australia (105 points).

Utah Jazz Season Awards....
There has been a lot of talk about this season for the Utah Jazz being a season of discovery. We have seen flashes from all the guys in our young core. Now they have to show us what they can do. I have been doing a lot of thinking and while many of our player will not win and league awards, I thought I would give them team awards based on the same awards the league gives. So here we go....
MVP-Gordon Hayward
I look for Gordon to have a big year. He is going to have the opportunity to do what he does best, make plays. When I look back at his career at Butler and the run they made in the NCAA tournament, it wasn't always him scoring the ball. He was setting up his teammates, making plays and scoring when needed. I believe we will see plenty of that from Gordon this year. He will make his teammates better and give them opportunities to get easy buckets, because other teams defense will be keying on him
Rookie of the Year-Trey Burke
This is a bit of a no brainer, but to added to it, I have a feeling he is going to with ROY for the entire league! Trey has a chip on his shoulder, he knows that everyone is doubting him. That's when he THRIVES! I remember watching him as a freshman at Michigan. He was not highly touted, but he came out and has some great games as a freshman. Keep doubting, hating on him. It fuels the kid! He is a student of the game and works at his craft. I look for this kid to surprise a lot of people.
Most Improved Player-Jeremy Evans
Jeremy had a couple really good summer league games. Yeah I know, its summer league. But Jeremy has put in work and has expanded his game. I think his strength may come from playing with Kanter or Favors where he can be a weak side defender. He has also worked very hard on the pick and pop aspect of his game. I feel that the one thing that has held Jeremy back is the same thing that plagues Andris....confidence. I think Jeremy now knows that he belongs and can be a valuable role player.
6th Man of the Year- Andris Biedrins
Shocker! Yeah I said it! I think that Andris will have a bit of a resurgence here with the Jazz. I feel the key to this happening is the Jazz offense. If they run a lot of pick and roll like we expect, this will be to his advantage. He is mobile big that does a good job crashing to the hoop for boards and buckets. The flex offense won't do him any favors. So if we stay flex heavy that could really hurt him. The other thing to remember is Andris is a good defender. Again, playing along side another long athletic big will make the Jazz very strong down low. Oh by the way, we have a lot of long athletic bigs now!
Defensive Player of the Year-Derrick Favors
Ok if the last was a shocker, this is a no brainer. I watched the USA Basketball summer camp and scrimmage. Yeah Favs was hurt pretty early on, but he was active, vocal leader on the defensive end of the court. The trait that I have picked up on early in camp though, is his nastiness or demeanor. He is tired of the talk and wants to show what he can do. He wants to lead. He wants to win! I look for Derrick to have a big year and be a big presence on the defensive end of the court.
These picks are difficult with so many unknowns. There are other guys that could come out and surprise us. Alec Burks, Richard Jefferson, Brandon Rush could all have big years and I hope they do. 27 days to the start of the regular season and less than a week to the first preseason game! Let's go get it Jazz!

Jeff, I am new to the blog. Great work so far. I wrote for hoopsworld a while back.
I wanted to ask or pose something to consider an issue no one wants to talk about. I believe J-Slo was brought back to shield Coach Corbin against fan and media criticism. Also, providing Corbin credibility by vocally supporting Corbin.
Jazz nation is excited about the youth finally getting their chance to play. I count myself among them. However,
I question the collective coaching credentials of Corbin and his immediate staff (J-Slo & Mail not included)
The past six weeks many have chimed in about the team's lack of depth as a glaring weakness. I contend, coaching is our most glaring deficiency.
No one on the immediate staff has ever produced significant team success at the highest level. Coach Lowe has never proved his worth at this level. Coach Sanders has no track record of accomplishment as an assistant. Coach Jones (who I really like) is unproven as a coach at the highest level.
How will the franchise and the promising careers of our young talent be affected if in fact the Jazz coaching staff is our most glaring deficiency??
Something to think about.

Thanks for the comment and question. I have to agree and disagree with you. David Locke made a point this morning that he thinks that the Raja Bell issue may have affected Ty more than we think and that he lets on. As far as his staff I totally agree. I am not sold on Sydnee or Sanders. I think Ty uses them similar to what Michael Jordan has always done in his organizations, they are yes men. The two of them were Corbin's college teammates and he is comfortable with them. Watching last season, and having some high school coaching experience myself, I was a little disappointed with Ty's game and situational management. Now if what Locke had to say is true, it may have really taken a toll on Ty. I think this season is definitely a season to see if he can TEACH. That is what I feel we need to see out of him this season. I personally would not be opposed to seeing someone like Malone or an outside source be added full time to the staff. I feel it would be beneficial. As for Jerry being back, I think he is back as a mentor to Ty. The front office saw the same things we did with Ty and they know the kind of trust and respect Ty has for him. Lastly, if things don't go well for Ty, one name I am going to throw out there now is Nate McMillan. Dennis Lindsey is about building a defensive team, Nate is a defensive coach and has worked to develop younger players....

I was there! I was in Calella last summer of this year. It is a seaside town on the Costa del Maresme. We had a trip there last July 2012 and our main sightseeing were in Barcelona and Mount Montserrat. I also had a walk with friends on the narrow street of this town. It was a nice trip we had in this place because we really did had a lot of fun!

Want to avoid pesticides and antibiotics in your produce, meat, and dairy foods? Prefer to pay more to make sure farm animals were treated humanely, farm workers got their lunch breaks, and farmers use sustainable practices that benefit the environment and protect local communities?
Food labels claim to certify a wide array of sustainable practices. Hundreds of so-called eco-labels have cropped up in recent years, with more introduced every month — and consumers are willing to pay extra for products that feature them.
While eco-labels can play a vital role, experts say their rapid proliferation and lack of oversight or clear standards have confused both consumers and producers.
"Hundreds of eco labels exist on all kinds of products, and there is the potential for companies and producers to make false claims," said Shana Starobin, a food label expert at Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment.
Eco-labels have multiplied in recent years in response to rising consumer demand for more information about products and increased attention to animal and farm worker welfare, personal health, and the effects of conventional farming on the environment.
"Credible labels can be very helpful in helping people get to what they want to get to and pay more for something they really care about," said Urvashi Rangan, director of consumer safety at Consumer Reports. "The labels are a way to bring the bottom up and force whole industries to improve their practices."
The problem, Rangan and other said, is that few standards, little oversight and a lot of misinformation exist for the growing array of labels.
Some labels, such as the USDA organic certification, have standards set by the federal government to which third party certifiers must adhere. Some involve non-government standards and third-party certification, and may include site visits from independent auditors who evaluate whether a given farm or company has earned the label.
But other labels have little or no standards, or are certified by unknown organizations or by self-interested industry groups. Many labels lack any oversight.
And the problem is global, because California's products get sold overseas and fruits and vegetables from Europe or Mexico with their own eco-labels make it onto U.S. plates.
The sheer number of labels and the lack of oversight create a credibility problem and risk rendering all labels meaningless and diluting demand for sustainably produced goods, Rangan said. [1]
In California, on November 6 voters rejected a ballot measure that would have required labels on foods containing genetically modified ingredients. I wrote about this ballot proposal a few weeks ago. The shocking aspect of this failed ballot initiative is that 90% of Californians polled supported the measure. So why did it fail? That's a story for another day, but suffice to say follow the money.
The best way to avoid unwanted additives is to avoid all processed and packaged foods. The certified organic label also ensures it is free of genetically modified ingredients.
What's in a name?
While the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has stepped in to say that calling High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) "corn sugar" is not acceptable, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), whose job it is to decide whether or not ads aired on television are deceptive, has not. The FTC is still allowing the Corn Refiners Association (CRA) to advertise HFCS as "corn sugar" in TV advertisements.
In an effort to combat rising obesity rates, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has proposed a ban on the sale of sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces in restaurants, movie theaters, sports arenas, and other food establishments. If approved, the ban could take effect as early as March 2013.
So what's the big deal about HFCS, why are health experts and the media demonizing it? According to Dr. Robert Lustig, professor of pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, the fructose in HFCS can only be metabolized by your liver; since all fructose gets shuttled to your liver, and, if you consume high amounts of it, fructose ends up taxing and damaging your liver in the same way alcohol and other toxins do. And just like alcohol, fructose is metabolized directly into fat—not cellular energy, like glucose."
Natural health expert Dr. Joseph Mercola adds; "fructose is 'isocaloric but not isometabolic." This means you can have the same amount of calories from fructose or glucose, fructose and protein, or fructose and fat, but the metabolic effect will be entirely different despite the identical calorie count. Excessive fructose consumption is at the heart of the obesity crisis, but cutting down on fructose consumption will require much more comprehensive changes to the American food industry, as well as dramatic changes to nutritional recommendations issued by the US government."
I think most families are aware that excessive consumption of high fructose corn syrup is a negative and have made their will known by purchasing more whole foods and less processed food that is usually heavily laden with HFCS. In fact, your response has been so strong it has forced the mass corn industry to respond with a shell game with their attempt to call HFCS, corn sugar. The corn industry has also launched a campaign to separate the myth from the facts about HFCS. http://cornnaturally.com/
They also have enlisted several experts including a few doctors to help convince the public that HFCS is safe and natural. I don't want to be cynical but I looked into the background of their leading health expert Dr. John S. White. In Dr. White's bio it stated that he enjoys an affiliation with the CRA based in Washington D.C. So is this a political issue for Dr. White or one based upon sound facts and principles?
I don't want this to degrade into conspiracy central but research must always be viewed through the lenses of who is behind the funding of said research.
Consider these two examples:
A recent study claiming red meat consumption causes premature death is flawed in a number of important ways. Among many other problems, the nutrition data for the study was collected via food questionnaires, meaning people had to recall what they'd eaten in the past. Furthermore, what the study found was what appears to be an association, which should not be misconstrued as causation, as some media outlets have portrayed it.
Confounding factors also appear to have been insufficiently accounted for, as those who ate more meat also had increasing incidence of obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, and lack of exercise—all of which can shorten your lifespan.
There are vast differences between concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and organically raised, grass-fed beef, both in terms of nutrient content and contamination. A joint effort between the USDA and Clemson University researchers in 2009 determined a total of 10 key areas where grass-fed beef is better than grain-fed for human health. This too is a confounding factor not addressed in the study referenced below.
The fact that numbers can be fudged and facts twisted or withheld from public view is quite disturbing. But quite simply getting back to nature can make the solution easier to accomplish. Select as many whole foods as possible from local farmers that you can trust and cook as many meals as possible from scratch. In addition to the foods that you eat, engage in vigorous exercise and liberating free play and you will have gone a long way toward safeguarding your health. And thus eliminate the need to rely upon anything that needs to be proven through research. Start you own research project; eat whole foods obtained from the farmers market and exercise with a purpose for an entire month and your body will tell you the results. My guess is you just may gain a whole new outlook on life and earned the ability to throw away a few bottles after all is said and done.

Natural, free range, cage free or organic eggs, what's the best choice?
When you hear the name Nestle' some type of chocolate candy probably comes to mind. What about Pfizer (drugs…)? It caught my attention last week that the Nestle' company attempted to purchase the nutrition division of Pfizer. This is yet another example of why it's best to obtain our food locally from farmers and vendors we know and trust.
