Alvarado Street Brewery & Grill | Super Rad!September 13, 2016 | Victoria Pratt
Downtown Monterey, not the famous Cannery Row with the tourist shops and refurbished sardine-packing factories, was in need of a revitalization.
Monterey, California is a beautiful town on the coast about 100 miles south of San Francisco. The most famous area of Monterey is Cannery Row, a refurbished factory district full of tourist gift shops, sea food restaurants and bars. However there has been a recent revitalization of the downtown district of Monterey, led by Alvarado Street Brewery and Grill. Alvarado Street Brewery and Grill, opened by J.C. Hill and his father John Hill, had a plan for downtown. The father and son duo, together with the Head Chef Jeremiah Tydeman, created a brew pub that brings phenomenal food and great beer together to give guests "the ultimate sensory experience." ASBG should be on your list of breweries to follow, visit and enjoy. Their canned sours are extremely sought after, each release is a huge success. They typically sell out quickly so if you see them on the shelf at your local craft beer store, don't hesitate. J.C. Hill, the head brewer, was kind enough to speak with me about their newest release called: Super Rad.

J.C. Watts Most Untied States Senators have either prior military experience or graduated from Ivy League schools. With this trend how can one of the most powerful senators in congress be from a state university, be African American and only 38? This Senator really does exist; his name is J.C. Watts of Oklahoma State University. While at school. Watts played football and quickly became the school's star quarterback.
So how does this average guy become one of the most influential republicans in congress? The answer is simple; through his years of playing football he learned everlasting life lessons. Most people think that football has no life lessons. However it does. It takes a lot of determination to play a sport for 10 years. There are a lot of trials and tribulations that will make you want to quit. Watts shows this learned determination by being one of the youngest, most respected republicans. In 1997 he gave the rebuttal of the State of the Union Address at the age of 35.

Football also taught Watts the value of getting along with others. This has helped him to work in congress. He knows to listen to others peoples opinions, voice his own, and to know when to admit he is wrong. It also taught how to work with others to accomplish a personal goal. This is probably the most valuable lesson that anyone could be taught. And because Watt has learned this he has been reelected to his House of Representative seat three times Another lesson football teaches you, is how to lose. You can't always win every time. You have to learn from your mistakes and not repeat them.
This is something that Watt does very well. Think about it, he is 38 and is the third most powerful republican. How could he do that by repeating his mistakes or by not learning from them? Every one is human and every one will make some mistakes. As long as you learn not to repeat them or learn from them you will be fine. See, now football goes beyond something to watch on Saturday or Sunday.
It teaches the players valuable life lessons that they can be used later in life. It gives them the determination, self-respect, pride, and values to do what they want. A living example of football's life lesson is J.C. Watts. Political Issues.

POTTERNE failed to follow up their opening-day success at Cheltenham as they slipped to a four-wicket loss at home to Downend in Premier One.
Like the majority of games across the region, winning the toss was crucial regarding the game's outcome.
And Potterne skipper Ashur Morrison was left to ponder what could have been after being put into bat by Downend counterpart Jordan Garrett.
The hosts struggled their way through 41 overs to record 185 all out.
Plenty of Potterne batsmen got themselves in – Thomas Cullen, Jake Goodwin, Neil Clark, Basil Akram, David Bromley and Tahir Afridi all reached double figures.
But expanding on their knocks proved an impossible task as the visitors' Matthew Jackson and Callum Loud claimed three wickets apiece.
A drying wicket paved the way for Downend to assert their dominance on the game, and they did just that – reaching the 186 runs required to win by four wickets in less than 32 overs.
Morrison admitted his side struggled to grind out additional runs at key points during the game, and said a score of 200-plus would have better suited their chances of earning a second win of the season.
He said: "To be honest, it was a wet pitch, and the team that bowled first was going to have the upper hand.
"Saying that, the wicket could have been worse – but we maybe could've ground out a result a bit more.
"We were a few runs short of what I believe would've been a challenging total.
"But the sun did dry the pitch out and it got flatter, which made it easier to bat late on.
"We should've posted 200-plus, or at least batted for our 50 overs – that's a key thing to do in this division.
"The game was tough. We still bowled okay, but overall, it was a struggle."
Defeat for Potterne means they sit nine points clear of second-from-bottom Cheltenham. This weekend, they tackle Lansdown at home.

I was present in 1952 at the Stoll Theatre in London when Leontyne Price made her London debut, virtually unknown, in a legendary tour of Porgy and Bess. I cannot say I recall much about the occasion, but I certainly have a strong recollection of her next appearance in London when she returned, now with a burgeoning career, to sing the title-role in Aida, at Covent Garden in 1958. She felt and sang it with the instinctive rightness that comes of thorough training and innate musicality. Soon the role became her calling-card, including her La Scala debut in 1960 and her first appearance at the Metropolitan in 1961.
By then Price had established herself as the first black singer to appear regularly in opera houses around the world. True, Marian Anderson, at the end of a long career as a concert singer, had made a single appearance at the Metropolitan in 1955, but it was Price who broke down the colour bar and made certain that black singers had the same status as their white coevals. She herself has revelled in the achievement.
She has always had a similar pride in her own voice, which she has described as 'gorgeous'. In an interview for Gramophone (in August 1971), she told me that she liked nothing better than sitting down and listening to it. She also declared that: 'You cannot be an opera singer and be humble.' When she spoke like that, it did not smack of conceit, more of satisfaction at her achievement.
She has cause to be proud of that achievement. From about 1960 to 1980, she was a dominant singer on the international scene and in the recording studio (RCA treated her royally at the time). She was born in Laurel, Mississippi. Her mother worked hard so that her daughter could study piano. She was able to accept a scholarship to the Juilliard School in New York, thanks to the generosity of a prominent family in Laurel. Seeing and hearing Ljuba Welitsch as Salome at the Metropolitan in 1949 inspired her to become an opera singer. She made her stage debut in Paris as St Cecilia in Virgil Thomson's Four Saints in Three Acts, then sang Bess at the Ziegfield Theater on Broadway. As already noted, in the same year - 1952 - she began touring Gershwin's opera. In 1955 she caused a sensation in a TV production of Tosca, which led to an engagement at the San Francisco Opera. From then on she never looked back. Her stage career ended only in 1985 with Aida at the Met, though she continued in concert even after that.
Her repertory stretched from Purcell's Dido, through Mozart's Fiordiligi, Pamina (both given at the Met) and Donna Anna, (Salzburg Festival debut, 1960), to Tatyana, Butterfly, Manon Lescaut and Tosca, and on to Samuel Barber. In 1957 she had also sung Madame Lidoine in Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites, her debut at San Francisco Opera, a role for which she obviously had an affinity to judge by her later recording of Lidoine's moving aria. But it is in Verdi that she is most acutely remembered. Besides Aida, she revelled in the challenges of both Leonoras, each of which she recorded more than once, Elvira (Ernani) and Amelia (Un ballo in maschera).
Besides opera, she was a valued recitalist. Samuel Barber wrote extensively for her (she described him as a 'delicious, wonderful friend'), including the role of Cleopatra in his Shakespearian opera. She sang many other songs by American composers, hymns and - of course - spirituals. She offered, with varying success, French and German aria and song. In all there was sincerity of purpose, a dignity of expression that were their own justification.
In concert she sang Beethoven's Missa solemnis, Bruckner's Te Deum and - above all - the Verdi Requiem, which she performed with unrivalled command in the KarajanILa Scala video (now on DVD) of 1967. Technical matters that bother more fallible sopranos are as nothing to her as she fulfils all of Verdi's exacting demands while the terrors of the 'Libera me' find Price invoking eternity with special convincing force. At the same time, those moments where Verdi requires the voice ethereal, Price fines down her large instrument without any loss of quality.
That voice itself is rich and refulgent and she rightly referred to it as 'her best friend'. As such she refused to exploit it beyond its natural capabilities, which she considered those of a lyric soprano, though others including myself, would judge that it came into the lirico-spinto category. In a measured tribute in Opera, Max Loppert wrote that Price's voice 'commanded a true, sterling legato; dusky warmth, roundness and richness of timbre characterised by a gloriously personal fast-vibrato colouring; and the art of floating, caressing and sustaining lustrous high notes and phrases, of swelling up to a climactic top note (eg the C of 'O patria mia') and then fining the tone down...' It would be impertinent to attempt to better that comprehensive characterisation of the Price voice.
How does it fare on disc? By and large the earlier Price the better. For instance, there are four extant souvenirs of the diva's Trovatore Leonora. Of these the one recorded live at the 1962 Salzburg Festival, with a cast of opera legends, conducted by Karajan, is the one to go for, catching the voice itself at its pristine best and the characterisation, caught live, at its most vital. The 1969 studio version under Mehta is next best, the 1977 Karajan remake on EMI (now Warner) to be avoided.
Similarly, as the other Leonora - di Vargas from Forza - the early version with Schippers is more assured, more involving than the 1976 set with Levine, although here the difference in her voice is not that great but the supporting cast in 1969 is superior. With Aida, the Decca set of 1961 enshrines one of Price's most desirable readings, tone and expression in perfect accord, the phrases long and the technical hurdles of 'O patria mia' gloriously jumped, although it has to be said that the 1970 RCA set under Leinsdorf runs the earlier performance close. Her single Elvira (Ernani) and Amelia (Ballo) are further evidence of her Verdian abilities, the latter certainly a Price essential.
She loved singing Mozart and her Fiordiligi in Leinsdorf's version of Così (1967) shows why. A somewhat grand reading, it has the compensating virtues of bold, assertive singing and a technical command few equal today. For many, though, it is Price's Carmen that shows the singer at her best; her smoky allure and the occasional touches of wit are certainly admirable, but to my taste the approach, especially with Karajan laying a heavy hand on the score, is a mite stodgy.
For the rest, among complete operas, Tosca this time with Karajan - in 1962 at his concentrated best - is worth having, the heroine here every inch a prima donna. By 1970 the characterisation had become less interesting. Mehta obviously failed to fire his diva as Karajan had done. Butterfly is not quite Price's métier, but as Liù she must have been very special to judge from her refined, shapely versions of both the character's arias. Her account of Helena's glorious solo encapsulates her virtues in Strauss.
For opera, you could try RCA's four-CD 'The Prima Donna Collection', which ranges from Dido's Lament (very grand) to Elizabeth I's Soliloquy and Prayer from Gloriana. As a whole it encompasses excerpts from roles she never sang on stage or recorded complete. Countess Almaviva, Louise, Desdemona, Micaëla, Santuzza, Norma, Gilda, Adriana among others all appear before us clad in the armour of Price's full-throated tone, their solos phrased with absolute certainty.
There are also unlikely things here that may surprise those who know only her Verdi and indicate her wish to be eclectic and out of the ordinary. Even when the manner may be wrong, as with Weber's Agathe and Rezia and Wagner's Isolde, that vocal security is always a consolation indeed. Her Lady Macbeth is commanding in just the right way and the high D flat at the end is securer than in most performances. Rusalka's Song to the Moon is properly radiant if not wholly idiomatic. Letting her hair down as Offenbach's Périchole and Johann Strauss's Rosalinde may not come naturally, but you catch a sense of fun even if the actual vocalisation is a shade heavy.
Within certain emotional limitations, she is a most persuasive interpreter. In any case her place as one of the 20th-century's most glorious voices and as an artist who could touch the heart, especially in her own language as Bess and in Italian as Aida, is assured.

Because of a certain restlessness and discontent, you're not the most practical person in the world. You may even be a bit spacey. In fact, sometimes you may wonder if you are of this world. Try using a to do list to your advantage. Train yourself to do important things with the force of habit. You may be disinterested in the mundane. As long as stability alludes you, so will a complete and happy life.
TIP: Get the things of the earth into your home.
Add some live plants to your environment. Fill your home with tile, pottery, wicker, ceramics, rocks and crystals. Spend more time in the present moment. Constantly remind yourself to "be here now". Eat more solid foods such as stews, soups, cooked grains and casseroles. Get more into your body. Treat yourself to regular professional massage. Find a sport or exercise regime that you can enjoy. Walk around in your bare feet in the cool dewy grass. Work to acquire a sense of steady rhythm and endurance.

TIP: To enjoy success, you must first respect the rights of others.
You're pragmatic. You can work hard and obtain many of your ambitions. Money, power and status interest you, and you're responsible enough to get them. Discipline, patience and commitment will win the day for you. It's O.K. for you to reach the top spot.
Typically, you're not at a loss for words. More likely you can earn a living through your voice, ideas and powers of persuasion. You're quick, clever, curious, versatile and witty.
Home and family matter to you. You appreciate art and music. In affairs of the heart, you need to be loved, pursued and reassured. You want to be indulged and you don't really turn on until you feel secure.
Perhaps you think you're the queen or the king and that justifies your temper. You get what you want with a dramatic and sometimes melodramatic flourish. You can go after success, recognition, attention and applause.
The more you become self-sufficient and learn to think for yourself, the easier your life will become. Opportunities for growth and expansion can be created through your natural enthusiasm. Assert yourself through adventure.
You can learn to get close without getting clingy. Develop inner security and you earn the right to love. Keep your body moving. Enjoy regular physical activity. Remember that not all digestive problems are from what you eat, sometimes it's what's eating you.
It is important that you free yourself from restrictive people. Great knowledge and power can be yours. Some of your friends are unsettling. You can be a rebel leader and trouble-maker extraordinaire. You get a 7-year itch to pursue the highest human ideals. Find an outlet for your leadership.
You're proud about your religious beliefs and disbeliefs. It is important for you to find an artistic function that is functional. In fact, once you develop it, you can inspire other people with your concept of fun, art and romance.
You've an extra intense need for physical and emotional security. The hell of it is that domestic tranquillity has probably eluded you. Once you cultivate a live-and-let-live attitude, your emotional life will improve considerably.

My contribution to the Fifth Annual Blogger's (Silent) Poetry Reading:
by Sue Brady
I loved you before I met you.
That spark
Brought to startling clarity,
Boundless and immediate,
With your first breath.
Realizing this was true and forever,
I still could not fathom its depth.
Resonating between us,
Love building on itself.
You were eight days old and I wept-
For all the rest of your life,
You would never again
Be eight days old.

Our game Squatbot is, by design, very difficult. We created a fast-paced platformer built for touch screens, and we wanted to spotlight our responsive controls. To do that, we needed to push the player to use the controls to their fullest. That said, we also wanted players to enjoy themselves, and ultimately beat the game. We needed our challenges to teach the player, and inspire them towards mastery, so that they could see the depth and finesse of controls.
It's incredibly easy to make a game that no one will beat - It's much harder to make a game that players will push themselves to beat. A difficult game needs to teach players how to gain mastery over it, and the following five rules aid in that teaching process:
1. The player needs a clear goal
2. The player needs clear steps to take towards their goal
3. The player needs to learn from every failure
4. There should be no punishment for failure
5. Keep each challenge short - There should be no busywork!
Let's take a look at these points in detail.
Rule #1: The player needs a clear goal
Before the player can tackle a challenge you put in front of them, they need to know what they're trying to do at a macro level. If the player has no idea what their goal is, they have no reason to push forward when an obstacle gets in their way. At their first failure, they'll walk away, a little more confused and a little more frustrated than they were before starting your game.
Different games motivate the player in different ways - Some have a story that the player wants to see played out, and others encourage the player to go for a high score. In every case, however, the player knows what they're trying to accomplish.
Rule #2: The player needs clear steps to take towards to their goal
It might seem odd to make an obvious path for your player when you're trying to test them, but players need to understand what they're supposed to be doing, in order to understand what they're doing wrong. Without knowing the step that they were trying to take, a player cannot accept a game's feedback (usually in the form of death), telling them that they did it wrong.
In Squatbot, we accomplished this by giving the player a breadcrumb trail of coins, always encouraging them towards their next step. They know what they're supposed to be doing, even if they aren't quite able to do it yet.
The challenge should be the execution, not figuring out where to go. If a player collects the coins, they'll make it through this tricky series of jumps.
Rule #3: The player needs to learn from every failure
Now that the player knows what they're supposed to do, we can start telling them what they're doing wrong. Whenever the player fails at a challenge, we want it to be a learning moment, and for them. This helps a player feel as though success is achievable, and prevents them from opaquely writing off a challenge as "too hard" to beat.
When a player knows exactly how they messed up, they can see how close they were to success, and that knowledge makes them want to try again. It's the difference between "That was bogus! This game is impossible!" and "I was so close! Okay, just one more try..."
Rule #4: There should be no punishment for failure
At this point, you should have the player hooked: They know what they did wrong, and they're excited to try again. Let them! Don't mess things up by punishing the player's mistake. All that will do is break the lovely feedback loop that you've so carefully built.
There's a really simple reason not to punish players for their failure: You're building a hard game, and you know players are going to fail at it quite often, just by nature of what your game is. If failure is tied to punishment, you're building a game which punishes players for engaging with it! That's obviously not a good idea!
Be careful: You don't have to actively build a punitive system for players to feel punished by death. In Squatbot, we were careful to make each death as painless as possible - Checkpoints were abundant, and players never lost resources when they died, but early playtesters told us that the game punished death too heavily. Upon investigation, we discovered that players with slower devices were dealing with a few seconds of loading between deaths, which felt like punishment when they wanted to try again. We fixed the performance issue, but it was a good reminder that nothing should stand between an eager player, and another attempt. Keep your death animations short, keep your loading times shorter, and let them jump right back in.
Rule #5: Keep each challenge short - There should be no busywork!
Games are not made harder by length, just more tedious. A long level means that death forces the player to slog through a section that they've already mastered. In some respects, this rule is really just an extension of the rule above - Forcing a player to repeat something that doesn't challenge them feels like punishment.
Because busywork is not engaging, but necessary for a player to get to where they want to be (The next challenge), it puts them into a state of what I've dubbed "boring stress". It's the feeling you get when you're doing something crucially important, but trivially easy - Think filling out an important form. It's easy to do, but the whole time you're doing it, you're slightly on edge. I first coined this term as a way of disparaging the minigame Shy Guy Says in Mario Party, but you see the phenomenon crop up anywhere that the stakes are higher than the player's engagement level.
"All the thrills of typing an email address correctly!"
That's all, folks!
Thanks for reading. Hopefully this you'll tune your own games into well oiled teaching machines. If you liked this article, consider following our studio @ildgames on Twitter, we're happy to talk design all day long!

I don't usually watch or follow celebrity beauty trends, but when I happened on this NY Times article on my girl Anna Kendrick, I had to admit, I read the entire thing.
(Shout out to Intuition razors!) Anyway, this part of the article jumped out to me:
I like to buy a new fragrance for each film. I'll go out in the city where I'm filming and snap it up. The one I have for "Into the Woods" is Terry de Gunzburg Flagrant Delice, which I bought in London. But the one I'm wearing now is Orange Flower and Lychee by Kiehl's, which is from "Happy Christmas." I was feeling nostalgic. That's the thing about fragrance: Memory is so attached. I also love buying fragrance for special times in my life. Like maybe if I got engaged, I'd buy one.
There's something really wonderful about this idea. Not that I'm out filming movies, but I think the next time I start a book (or maybe, at the time I'm publishing) I'll pick out a new scent, just for that novel.
What about you, dear reader, do you have a signature scent? Or do you buy perfume or cologne for certain occasions or periods in your life?

The famous Big 5 animals consist of the lion, elephant, cape buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros. The name Big 5 originally came from game hunters referring to the hardest animals to hunt on foot. Nowadays, seeing the 'Big 5' has become synonymous with the African Safari and is a thrilling experience to see some of the most dangerous animals in the wild! Take a look at some of our recommended itineraries for seeing the Big 5 below or email directly for a tailor made itinerary!

Or maybe we shouldn't. Anyway, Dave Lindorff describes just how screwed up the Pentagon budgeting 'process' is (process is scare quotes because process implies some sort of nominally rational and comprehensible process; boldface mine):
On November 15, Ernst & Young and other private firms that were hired to audit the Pentagon announced that they could not complete the job. Congress had ordered an independent audit of the Department of Defense, the government's largest discretionary cost center—the Pentagon receives 54 cents out of every dollar in federal appropriations—after the Pentagon failed for decades to audit itself. The firms concluded, however, that the DoD's financial records were riddled with so many bookkeeping deficiencies, irregularities, and errors that a reliable audit was simply impossible…
For decades, the DoD's leaders and accountants have been perpetrating a gigantic, unconstitutional accounting fraud, deliberately cooking the books to mislead the Congress and drive the DoD's budgets ever higher, regardless of military necessity. DoD has literally been making up numbers in its annual financial reports to Congress—representing trillions of dollars' worth of seemingly nonexistent transactions—knowing that Congress would rely on those misleading reports when deciding how much money to give the DoD the following year, according to government records and interviews with current and former DoD officials, congressional sources, and independent experts…
When the DoD submits its annual budget requests to Congress, it sends along the prior year's financial reports, which contain fabricated numbers. The fabricated numbers disguise the fact that the DoD does not always spend all of the money Congress allocates in a given year. However, instead of returning such unspent funds to the US Treasury, as the law requires, the Pentagon sometimes launders and shifts such moneys to other parts of the DoD's budget.
Veteran Pentagon staffers say that this practice violates Article I Section 9 of the US Constitution…
So-called "one-year money"—funds that Congress intends to be spent in a single fiscal year—gets shifted into a pool of five-year money. This maneuver exploits the fact that federal law does not require the return of unspent "five-year money" during that five-year allocation period.
The phony numbers are referred to inside the Pentagon as "plugs," as in plugging a hole, said current and former officials. "Nippering," a reference to a sharp-nosed tool used to snip off bits of wire or metal, is Pentagon slang for shifting money from its congressionally authorized purpose to a different purpose. Such nippering can be repeated multiple times "until the funds become virtually untraceable," says one Pentagon-budgeting veteran who insisted on anonymity in order to keep his job as a lobbyist at the Pentagon…
In fiscal year 2015, for example, Congress appropriated $122 billion for the US Army. Yet DoD financial records for the Army's 2015 budget included a whopping $6.5 trillion (yes, trillion) in plugs. Most of these plugs "lack[ed] supporting documentation," in the bland phrasing of the department's internal watchdog, the Office of Inspector General. In other words, there were no ledger entries or receipts to back up how that $6.5 trillion supposedly was spent. Indeed, more than 16,000 records that might reveal either the source or the destination of some of that $6.5 trillion had been "removed," the inspector general's office reported.
Here's an example:
Digging deep into the OIG's report on the Army's 2015 financial statement, the researchers found some peculiar information. Appendix C, page 27, reported that Congress had appropriated $122 billion for the US Army that year. But the appendix also seems to report that the Army had received a cash deposit from the US Treasury of $794.8 billion. That sum was more than six times larger than Congress had appropriated—indeed, it was larger than the entire Pentagon budget for the year. The same appendix showed that the Army had accounts payable (accounting lingo for bills due) totaling $929.3 billion.
This is like saying two plus two equals fish. It makes no sense. The most generous reading of this is that the Army actually spent $134.5 billion, instead of the budgeted $122 billion, but who knows? It does allow the U.S. military to conduct operations without any Congressional oversight. For instance, we only found out about our presence in Niger when four special forces operatives were killed, otherwise Congress didn't know about this. And this is part of a much more bigly problem:
To make sure that fiscal year 2015 was not an anomaly, Skidmore and his graduate students expanded their inquiry, examining OIG reports on Pentagon financial records stretching back to 1998. Time and again, they found that the amounts of money reported as having flowed into and out of the Defense Department were gargantuan, often dwarfing the amounts Congress had appropriated: $1.7 trillion in 1998, $2.3 trillion in 1999, $1.1 trillion in 2000, $1.1 trillion in 2007, $875 billion in 2010, and $1.7 trillion in 2012, plus amounts in the hundreds of billions in other years…
To be clear, Skidmore, in a report coauthored with Catherine Austin Fitts, a former assistant secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development who complained about similar plugs in HUD financial statements, does not contend that all of this $21 trillion was secret or misused funding. And indeed, the plugs are found on both the positive and the negative sides of the ledger, thus potentially netting each other out. But the Pentagon's bookkeeping is so obtuse, Skidmore and Fitts added, that it is impossible to trace the actual sources and destinations of the $21 trillion. The disappearance of thousands of records adds further uncertainty. The upshot is that no one can know for sure how much of that $21 trillion was, or was not, being spent legitimately…
Let that sink in for a moment: As things stand, no one knows for sure how the biggest single-line item in the US federal budget is actually being spent. What's more, Congress as a whole has shown little interest in investigating this epic scandal. The absurdly huge plugs never even get asked about at Armed Services and Budget Committee hearings.
Needless to say, if science-related agencies budgeted like this, there would be calls to shut them down–and people would be justified to do so.
By the way, when people like Matthew Yglesias* argue that the federal government should be sent hither and yon around the country, there's a downside to that:
For its part, the inspector general's office has blamed the fake numbers found in many DoD financial statements on the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), a huge DoD accounting operation based in Indianapolis, Indiana. In review after review, the inspector general's office has charged that DFAS has been making up "unsupported" figures to plug into DoD's financial statements, inventing ledger entries to back up those invented numbers, and sometimes even "removing" transaction records that could document such entries. Nevertheless, the inspector general has never advocated punitive steps against DFAS officials—a failure that suggests DoD higher-ups tacitly approve of the deceptions.
Here's the problem: few national reporters would be willing to be stationed in Indianapolis to cover this. If DFAS were headquartered somewhere in the D.C. area, it would be much easier for news agencies to report and work sources, especially as news bureaus are being slashed. Can even a national agency afford to station a defense reporter with a background in accounting (which is a pretty specialized skill set) away from the Pentagon. And I wonder if the local papers would want to tangle with an employer of 12,000 people–and if they have the expertise and resources to investigate. Likewise, it's much harder for Congress to conduct oversight (though it seems they're not that interested in oversight…).
And before my MMT compatriots argue we can't run out of money, this is true in one sense, but once funds are budgeted, they are locked in. There is an annual budgeting and appropriations process, so, in that sense, money spent in one area such as defense is coming from another area like, well, everything else.
*Yglesias might be better than some pundits, but he's a guy who styled himself a foreign policy maven after supporting the Iraq War, and an education expert who supported standardized testing (even as it was clear he didn't really understand how the assessment statistics work). What could possibly go wrong with one of his suggestions?

WASHINGTON – Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke continues to arm critics with confusing statements about the administration's plans for offshore oil drilling.
Appearing before a Senate committee today, Zinke again explained why he decided to exempt Florida from a five-year plan, outlining broad political opposition and the current federal moratorium on untapped areas of the Gulf of Mexico.
"Florida is different," he said.
But moments later, Zinke said, "Florida is still in the process."
He did not elaborate and the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee meeting moved on. We are seeking comment from Interior.
UPDATE: "He was just referring to the process and was noting that BOEM will finish the legally-required analysis of the planning areas, as is always done for all planning areas," an agency spokeswoman said.
Florida Sen. Bill Nelson jumped on Zinke's words.
"The Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, in front of the Senate Energy Committee today, has just said very confusingly – but bottom line – Florida is still on the table for drilling off of the coast of Florida. This is exactly the opposite of what the people of Florida want."
In late February, Zinke said Nelson and other drilling opponents should be thanking him.

WASHINGTON, April 2, 2015 — Dante reserved a special place in Hell for the neutrals, those who feared commitment to either side, good or evil.
And in modern America, being a double-dealing, immoral gasbag means never having to say you're sorry. So says America's latest guru of social mores.
"I was Patient Zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale," said President Bill Clinton's mistress Monica Lewinsky in a recent TED Talk. She admitted that her sexual affair with the married Clinton was a "mistake" made by a 22-year-old girl "swept up into an improbable romance."
Lewinsky's idea of "romance" required keeping the blue dress on which President Clinton deposited semen, as a trophy to hold and cherish.
It's clear that Lewinsky was no Cinderella and Bill Clinton no Prince Charming. But Lewinsky does not blame herself for capitulating to the sexual advances of a low serial womanizer, or condemn a man for dishonoring a vow to remain faithful to his wife "for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, from this day forward until death do us part."
What does bother Lewinsky is that Clinton's wife and the broader society were told of the affair and Clinton's dishonorable breach of trust.
"Remember, just a few years earlier, news was consumed from just three places: reading a newspaper, magazine, listening to the radio or watching television. That was it," said Lewinsky. "But that wasn't my fate. Instead, this scandal was brought to you by the digital revolution. That meant we could access all the information we wanted, when we wanted it, anytime, anywhere. And when the story broke in January 1998, it broke online. It was the first time traditional news was usurped by the Internet for a major news story … Overnight, I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one worldwide … This rush to judgement, enabled by technology, led to mobs of virtual stone-throwers."
Lewinsky's shame is not in what she did to a married man, or allowed a married man to do to her, but that they were found out.
Worse, Internet news aggregator Matt Drudge broke a story the mainstream media had kept under wraps for at least a year. In doing so, Drudge also broke the unspoken understanding between the press and powerful Democratic Party elites that their moral shortcomings are to be kept hidden from public scrutiny, as was the case for FDR, John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Teddy Kennedy and—for a short 12 months—Bubba.
It's laughable to hear Lewinsky cast herself the victim of puritanical, moral outrage. Last July, a Quinnipiac University Poll found that Americans place Bill Clinton second—after Ronald Reagan—in the pantheon of modern America's "Best Presidents."
Clinton's moral lapses and his lie to the American people—"I did not have sexual relations with that woman"—became a problem only after he lied under oath to a federal grand jury.
Who or what made Lewinsky feel that her actions, which clearly did not affect the attitudes of a majority of Americans outside a D.C. grand jury room, engendered a "rush to judgment" that "publicly humiliated" her, leading to outrage and "scandal"?
The answer is in that small remnant of America that clings to Judeo-Christian moral sensibilities. "You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless," says Jesus in the New Testament book of Matthew.
Humanity doesn't much care what the Bill Clintons or Monica Lewinskys of this world do to and for each other. But the Bill Clintons and Monica Lewinskys of this world most certainly care what the morally centered, "the salt of the earth," think of them.
That's the reason Monica's head continues to reel nearly 20 years after her public humiliation. That is also why, without a hint of self-consciousness, she sought and received a sympathetic hearing before a TED audience, an organization whose motto is to transmit "Ideas Worth Spreading."
Imagine a 22-year-old Monica Lewinsky handing her freshly soiled blue dress to the disgusted dry-cleaning attendant forced to witness her and Bill's debauchery.
Lewinsky's tortured cry is that of a twisted world obsessed with forcing a religious minority to throw out and trample "underfoot as worthless" a tested moral code two millennia old.
But its undimmed rays are so brilliant, "Not a day goes by that I'm not reminded of my mistake," said the disgraced Monica Lewinsky.

Antitrust scrutiny rattled Big Tech on Monday. Regulators split up oversight in apparent preparation for probes into whether firms' practices harm competition.
The Federal Trade Commission will look at Facebook and Amazon and the DOJ – the Department of Justice – will examine Google. The Justice Department will also oversee Apple, as Reuters reported.
Google parent Alphabet fell to a five-month low and Facebook plummeted 7.5%, the most since July. Amazon and Apple also fell.
But before we get too bearish on tech let's remember this: talk of antitrust is suddenly fashionable, but efforts by the government to break up companies have been rare, time consuming and not always successful.
The government case against IBM went on for 13 years before being dropped. The pursuit of AT&T lasted a decade until the company was broken into the seven Baby Bells. The government chased Microsoft for 12 years, from the first FTC investigation.
One reason for the slow pace is that if you are big enough to be drawing antitrust heat, you're big enough to have a lot of lobbyists, lawyers and employees in congressional districts all around the country.
So we do not think this is the end of Tech, but we do think that the risk premium in the stocks will remain elevated for now.
So we had a scary Monday.
However on Tuesday everything turned around with a more than 2% gain in the S&P 500 Index, driven by what was seen as a hint by Fed Chair Jerome Powell that the central bank may be moving in the direction of a rate cut.
We think this is warranted since we expect global industrial production momentum to soften again in the third quarter after a short lived bounce in the first two quarters of this year. And, as we said last week, prolonged uncertainty on trade could see momentum fall back to zero by October unless we get a trade truce before then. This is what we mean by the linkage between trade and monetary policy.
As our favourite Fed watcher Tim Duy noted in his blog, the Fed has little choice but to bail out President Trump should his trade policies threaten the economy.
With that in mind, we believe that the less the market believes in a trade truce, the more it will believe in stronger reflation from both the Fed and China. This we think is the main reason that gold has rallied so strongly, up 2% this week.

Newmarket Road,
Mike Sewell (above right) pays tribute to CPL co-founder Mark Rosselli (centre), who is retiring next month
He will not thank me for this, but I couldn't let the news of Mark Rosselli's impending retirement pass without at least a brief comment.
Twenty-two years after he and Jonathan Wilson (above left) founded CPL, Mark is retiring at the end of the year. He may be available after that to work on some ad-hoc projects for CPL (if they take his fancy) but his primary professional focus now is going to be on writing his first book for 20 years.
Mark and Jonathan have achieved so much since they got over their initially "frosty" relationship and established CPL in 1996. You can read more about the early days – when one of their key initial ambitions was not to employ any staff – on our website.
Before setting up CPL, Mark had a senior role as assistant editor responsible for news on The Observer newspaper. His (and Jonathan's) extremely high journalistic standards have ensured CPL has always had a reputation for editorial excellence – a legacy I'm confident will endure for years to come.
Mark is one of the best writers I have ever worked with. I am not surprised that, in his Fleet Street days, he wrote or ghosted many op-ed opinion pieces; he has a remarkable ability to construct a cogent, convincing argument in 600 words on one day – and then do the same thing (but arguing pretty much the exact opposite) a few days, weeks or months later!
Everyone who has worked with Mark will have a tale to tell about him – whether it's walking into the office first thing in the morning, clicking his fingers and bombarding people with 20 technical questions before he's even taken off his jacket; or interrupting the same conversation because he's heard the distant roar of his favourite motorbike on the street outside.
He can be demanding, opinionated and contrary. He often sets apparently unrealistic expectations. But it's always with the best of intentions. And, over the years, CPL has delivered better work for our clients as a result.
On a personal level, he has also been supportive, kind and very loyal. Not least over the past two years when he has had to sit back and observe a new senior leadership team at CPL doing things differently and, inevitably, making a few mistakes along the way.
I'm pleased to say he will remain involved as a CPL shareholder and we hope to see Mark and his wife Carol strutting their stuff on the dance floor at many future CPL events.
But for now, it's just a massive thanks to Mark for the role he's played in creating and shaping the agency CPL is today.

Preface: this is gonna be long, so I'm breaking it into 2 posts.
(See the other posts about this race here and here.)
Saturday, November 6th I ran the Hot Chocolate 15k race in Chicago. I had been looking forward to this race for quite some time, and was excited to be running the longer distance – the longest since my half marathon back in June. My brother and sister also ran this race, the 5k portion.
This is the third year for the race, which is organized by Running Away Multisport (RAM), a store in Chicago. It was the first year that the race was starting in Grant Park – the last two years it has started farther north at Montrose Harbor. Another new feature for this years race was the large field – 30,000 compared to last years 10,000.
My sister and I headed downtown Friday evening to pick up all three race packets at Union Station. The website promised a the " best goodie bag around" and a great expo and I have to say I was really disappointed. I was looking forward to lots of free samples (who doesn't love free stuff?) and many different vendors. The "goodie bag" was our technical jacket – which is actually more like a technical zip-up hoodie. It's still nice though, if not a little smaller than I'd like (and I got a women's large, my normal size) and definitely warm. It's keeping me cozy on the train right now.
Packet pickup was super crowed and very unorganized. We did get there at about 6:00 Friday night so I figured there would be lots of people, but it was ridiculous. The first stop was bib pickup – one long table on the left for 5k, one on the right for 15k. Sister got the 5k bibs and I got my 15k. Then we had to get our chips checked. This race used a new (to me) system where the chips were on the back of the race bibs instead of going on your shoelaces. I like the idea, one less thing to worry about. They had a small table with 4 or 5 computers and a volunteer had to scan your chip and verify your information. It was very crowded as most people didn't know this needed to be done and were just crowding into the small space. Then you had to go to yet another table and get your jacket, separated by sizes. Again, very crowded but it went pretty fast. I would have liked if they had put everything in one bag and eliminated a step, or had least had more organized lines/more space for the lines to form. The expo itself had only about 3 vendors other than RAM who, in addition to regular apparel had loads of "Will Run for Chocolate" apparel for sale. Yeah, I already spent enough for registration, I'm not buying a shirt for $22.
Me and my sis.
I made sure to lay out all of my clothes and extra layers Friday night before going to sleep. The weather was going to be just above freezing for the race start. I made sure to pick up some hand warmers at Menards to keep us warm. Best $0.79 I spent all day, I think. We left the house not long after 6:00 to make our way to Grant Park.
Brother, sister, me. I'm an awesome photographer, can't you tell?
Dr. Oz! He had some health expo going on in Grant Park that day and opened the race. I didn't hear what he was talking about, just wanted to snap a pic.
We got there around 7:25 and the 5k started at 7:40. The twins headed to the start corrals and I made my way to gear check. Word of advice: if you are running a race with someone and they are running a shorter race and/or will finish before you, check the back under their bib number. When you finish you won't have to fight the lines and can get your stuff from your friends.
Crowds near the gear check tents.
I unfortunately didn't get to see the 5k start. I was waiting in line to check gear then waited in line for the port-a-potties (surprisingly not for long – they had lots!). I then started making my way through the crowds to the start corral.
Here's one thing I do not understand about this race – the 5k started 30 minutes before the 15k. Most races I've run (and wanted to register for) start the longer race first. It seems like common sense.
And if that doesn't seem odd enough, the first 5k finishers were coming across the finish line before all the 5k racers had even crossed the start!!! If that doesn't tell you something is wrong I don't know what will. The twins later told me that they finished their 5k before all the 15k racers had crossed the start. That means that they were waiting almost 2 hours for me to finish! Totally uncalled for, race organizers!
Heading to start corrals
Pre-race fuel. Chocolate Gu seemed appropriate. I had a Tri-Berry flavored Gu around mile 5 as well.
Waiting to RUN!
Oh look, the sun is coming out.
I don't know why I'm giving myself the evil eye. But I was warm.
8.3 to go!
Going through the McCormick Center
On the other side of that construction fence? The lakefront.
I think this was around the 5k mark. I was feeling awesome and starting to get sweaty.
Heading back we got these views:
This one is my new desktop background.
Just 5k to go!
Stay tuned for Part II – the last 5k and post-race eats!

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the people to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea" — Quote from The Little Prince.
Being asked to write a blog for 9 Spokes is such a pleasure and a privilege, knowing their commitment to small business and their clear mission to assist in the engagement and productivity of this sector.
This blog is devoted to the subject of "building community" around a product or idea. This concept creates an insightful brief to help businesses engage better around the transactional goals they hold.
Since the late '90s, it has been possible to build online communities and the obsession with it has grown each year. Ecademy, to my knowledge, was the first social platform to enable this, called 'Clubs in early 2000s. Since then, Facebook and LinkedIn have made community building relatively easy to set up. Twitter #tags also enables instant community conversation around a topic.
What lacks within some is the culture and skills to make a community successful. Building the 'place', adding a logo, writing posts within it, these can all be done as 'head-based' tasks.
Running a community takes heart.
I like to use the analogy of a pub. Anyone can run a pub, stock it with booze, provide food and issue a set of tasks to staff to deliver a service. It takes a special landlord to make you feel welcome loved and that you matter to them and the other pub-dwellers and ensure that you want to return again and again, and make it your 'home'.
With the advent of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), we are all going to need to build community. Our ability to write to strangers and hope for a conversion to a sale will be massively impacted. I have never been an advocate of this method of marketing and so I welcome this change. Those that will struggle will be the task-based, process thinkers and doers, giving rise to the 'people-based' engagers. The naturally 'social' people within organisations know it is better to create an environment where "people come to buy rather than you go to sell". Bring on the Community Builders and Managers!
So what does it take to build community? A place where people belong, feel loved, share in common values and thoughts and seek to raise one another rather than achieve their own goals alone?
It takes a mindset of 'us'.
A leadership skill that is best studied in the teachings of 'Servant leadership' and the Self Actualisation of "Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs" when we achieve level 5 and want to help and inspire others.
To begin the process of community building, you must know your WHY. The reason you do what you do, sell what you sell and get out of bed in the morning. Then your WHO: who is it that you seek to serve and love. WHO else wants to do this, WHO else seeks to help the people you want to help. This is a common set of drivers, much like what drives me and what drives 9 Spokes. We all seek to serve the small business—we share the same values and intention, yet we do it with different products and services. We are collaborators.
WHAT, HOW and WHEN are the 'head-based' decisions and for this blog I am not focused on this. I want to focus on you being a 'honey-pot' that attracts people into your community due to your WHY and WHO. The only point here I must say in big bold letters:
If you have a product or a service and you are passionate about the person you seek to serve, then you can be a Community Builder. Study the 10 features of Servant Leadership. Become a Leader, not a salesperson, lead them with love, inclusion, diversity and openness, and as I said in my first quote of this blog: "if you want to build a ship, don't drum up the people to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea".
Make sure you focus your thoughts and deeds on the vision you have and the view you want them to see, don't focus your thoughts around the results and task, and never focus on a transactional outcome as that will stop people chatting, caring and loving you and more importantly, loving each other.
I had around 1,000 words as a brief. Mapping HOW to build community is impossible in such a small blog. I would be in danger of writing an article. However, if you would like to join The Business Cafe's Global Group on Facebook that I run, hopefully, you can learn from my example. 9 Spokes is a sponsor of The Business Cafe and part of our 'Making Business Digital' strategy, so we have great synergy in our missions.
I want to close by saying that the most powerful way to build a brand is to share your own journey, be open, vulnerable and be one of them. Leadership is not about being brilliant, being a guru or being looked up to. It is about all the people you seek to support and grow, they will value you more for your humanity and kindness and they will trust you for your weaknesses as much as your strengths. Be brave and be you—it is the best you can be.
Finally, there are two awesome days in your life. The day you were born, and the day you discover why you were born. Building a community might just give you that day.

The rumor mills have been on overdrive about a possible low-end iPhone sold through WalMart for Christmas this year. Priced at $99, the claim is that Apple is planning to reintroduce the 4 GB model to try an capture a whole new segment of value shoppers during the holiday season.
BoyGenius, who broke the story, writes:
We just got a tip that in addition to the iPhone 3G actually making its way to Walmart, as we exclusively told you, there will be a 4GB model priced at $99 with a 2-year agreement. We're not putting our stamp of approval behind this one just yet as the tipster isn't listed in our Guide to respected Ninjas handbook, but it does make you think, doesn't it?
Certainly does make you think about what Apple and Jobs must be thinking. Personally, I think the iPhone still has that premium feel to it. However, clones are coming up all over the place and the iPhone is still coming out tops in match-ups. A $99 smartphone would be a pre-emptive strike that would shake the fundamentals justifying the R&D investments that Apple's competitors are making. Or, perhaps, Steve really believes that getting an iPhone into the hands of every single person that craves one is the goal, and what is lost in immediate profits can be made up in subscription revenue sharing.

The idea
I want to follow the behavior of the bitcoincore daemon (or one of its forks).
I found the really good PHP script node-interface maintained by
- it connects with RPC to the daemon
- lots of functions to process the data
- clean and simple HTML page
The fork
My goal is to be able to make my different processes to communicate with each others. But the script does not have enough flexibility to share its data.
So I created a fork:
- some options to customize the HTML page
- the main script provides data in JSON format (no more in HTML)
- the data can be displayed in JSON, text or HTML
- some cleanings (no more data and processing in the same script)
- some new data: peers' versions and subversions (sorted)
The HTML and text pages are generated with the PHP library mustache from data collected on the JSON main page.
Here are some links:
- JSON: https://angband.t18s.fr/btc_bitcoincore_status/json.php
- formated JSON: https://angband.t18s.fr/btc_bitcoincore_status/json.php?v=1
- HTML: https://angband.t18s.fr/btc_bitcoincore_status
- text: https://angband.t18s.fr/btc_bitcoincore_status?t=txt
- add data about the peers' countries
- add some data retention about the peers
The deployment
The only dependency is the PHP library mustache.
So you can use almost everything: I chose PHP-FPM.
I maintain an Ansible role to manage the complete deployment.

You'd better not cry, 1993 - Twenty-two month old Jacob Klein was excited about seeing Santa in 1993 - right up until the time his parents put him on the Jolly Old Man's lap. Jacob, the son of Teresa and Ernie Klein, preferred to have his parents relay his Christmas wishes. Jacob was visiting Santa's house on the first weekend he was at his residence in City Park.

Heather Nordman took advantage of the Lady Vikings ability to find her underneath the basket, as she collected 19-points on 8/10 shooting. She also pulled down eight rebounds.
Just when it seems the Clear Lake boys basketball team will turn a corner and win a game, they run right into another wall. The Lions saw an excellent chance to open the North Central Conference schedule with a win slip away as their offense fell silent at critical times in their 67-59 loss to Clarion-Goldfield. Jason Floy had 15 points for the Lions and Mark Ebeling added 10.

The break-ins on the North Shore have been pretty serious to the community. Should teenage boys be given the family car any evening to just go any place? The findings of the police department in these break-ins have pointed a long finger at the carelessness of parents.
An announcement was made this week by Santa's helper, Barry Plumb, that Santa will come to town Dec. 23 at 9:30 a.m. He will have a police escort and meet the children in front of the Lake Theatre. The Christmas committee consists of Plumb, Archie Larson and Clare Mother.
