Oil Trades Near Session Highs As U.S. Extends Sanctions On Iran
Oil futures climbed toward the session's highest levels Friday, buoyed by news that the U.S. Senate has approved a bill that will extend sanctions against Iran's missile development and weapons program that was not part of last year's nuclear pact. President Barack Obama is expected to sign the bill. "It is clear that this will not help positive developments in U.S. and Iranian relations," said Troy Vincent, oil analyst at ClipperData. And "the potential for deterioration in U.S.-Iran relations puts the future of Iranian crude exports in question once again," he said. January West Texas Intermediate crude rose 54 cents, or 1.1%, to $51.60 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, near the day's high of $51.66.

The Phillie Phanatic aimed his hot dog gun, pressed a button and fired into the stands. The duct tape-wrapped hot dog flew through the air … and hit Kathy McVay in the face. It knocked off her glasses, gave her a black eye and sent her to the emergency room. She has to ice her face every 20 minutes.
The incident happened Monday during the Phillies' home game against the Cardinals. McVay, who was sitting near home plate, told 6 ABC's Action News that she wasn't able to protect her face because she has a shoulder injury that she's getting surgically repaired soon. Fortunately, tests showed she didn't suffer a concussion.
"I have a small hematoma in my eye," she told 6 ABC. "And mostly, it's going to get worse before it gets better. It's going to go down the side of my face."
McVay is a great sport about it. She said she's fine if people laugh at the situation—which is great, because it is pretty funny—and was happy to talk to Action News because she wanted to warn Phillies fans of the dangers of flying hot dogs.
She also says she has no intention of suing the Phillie Phanatic, a mascot who was named "the most-sued mascot in the majors" in a 2002 Cardozo Law Review article. But McVay might not have much of a case even if she wanted to sue. A fan sued Kansas City Royals mascot Sluggerr for something similar in 2010. As Philadelphia lawyer Adam Bonin recapped in a Twitter thread, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled in Coomer v. Kansas City Royals Baseball Corp. that tossed hot dogs—unlike bats and balls—were not an inherent part of a baseball game and the Royals could be sued for the incident. But when the case went trial in 2015, the Royals were found to be not at fault.
The Phillies may not have to answer for the Phanatic's hot dog shooting, but they have offered McVay free tickets to an upcoming game. The Phanatic ought to have a bunch of hot dogs for her, and just hand them to her this time.

By Lee Juillerat, Klamath Falls Herald and News December 4, 2013
Two conservation groups are challenging a U.S. Forest Service timber sale outside Crater Lake National Park in an area the groups want to see protected as wilderness.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Eugene by the Cascadia Wildlands and Oregon Wild. The groups are asking a judge to stop the Loafer timber sale in an area northwest of Diamond Lake on the Umpqua National Forest.
More protection
The lawsuit claims the Forest Service should more fully examine the project's potential harm to protected species like northern spotted owls and red tree voles. It says the logging requires building a road through two areas of virgin forest, which would make them ineligible for future wilderness designation.
A Forest Service spokesman told the Associated Press the agency does not comment on pending litigation.
Contested sale
The Loafer sale, named after the Loafer Creek drainage, is proposed on the Umpqua's Diamond Lake Ranger District and would affect a portion of the 2,000-acre plus Dread and Terror roadless area. The project would result in 30 million board-feet of tree fiber.
According to the Forest Service's environmental assessment, the Loafer sale will restore natural ecosystem function and reduce fire fuels.
The Loafer environmental assessment was issued in March and the final record of decision was filed in May. The decision was appealed, but the appeal was denied by the Forest Service's regional office in August.
"Since then we have been pursuing the avenue of litigation," said Erik Fernandez, Oregon Wild wilderness coordinator. He said the project would log within the proposed wilderness near the North Umpqua River north and slightly west of the park.
"This area is a key corridor for wildlife species migrating from the high elevations along the crest down to lower elevations," he said. "The North Umpqua also is known as a world class salmon fishery and we're concerned that this project would have a negative impact on water quality and salmon."
Further opposition
Oregon Wild also opposes the Bybee timber sale on the west side of Crater Lake National Park.
The proposed 50,000 acre Crater Lake Wilderness would, according to Fernandez, "protect the park's backcountry and corridors leading in and out of the park, creating a 90-mile habitat conservation corridor along the crest of the Southern Cascades." The proposed wilderness would not affect any of the existing park roads or developed areas, including Rim Village and the Crater Lake Lodge.
As proposed, the Bybee would log 1,300 acres of potential wilderness on Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest lands, also near Crater Lake National Park. The Forest Service has made changes in the proposed sale but, according to Fernandez, "The changes have simply moved the project from terrible to bad" because it would imperil and weaken the park's ecosystems and would be near the headwaters of the Rogue River.

Additionally, being enrolled in a roadside assistance program might give drivers a sense of security that results in the false belief that they don't need a car emergency kit.

Amazon Wants A Second HQ — And Walsh Says Boston Will Be 'Laser Focused' On BiddingResume
Amazon is on the hunt for a second North American headquarters. And Boston Mayor Marty Walsh says the city is game to host the online retail giant.
"Think about the public-private partnerships we could have with an Amazon here," Walsh said, just hours after the company made its intentions public. "Having a partner like Amazon will be incredible."
Amazon announced Thursday that it expects to invest over $5 billion constructing a second headquarters and bring up to 50,000 "high-paying" jobs. The company called on cities to submit proposals to host the facility.
Walsh said Boston plans to reach out to Amazon.
"I mean, it's an incredible opportunity — $5 billion of investment, 50,000 new jobs — I mean, that's a lot," Walsh said.
Walsh said he plans to pull a team together to discuss bringing Amazon's second headquarters to Boston.
"We'll be laser focused on this," he said.
In his tenure, Walsh has already welcomed a major company's headquarters to Boston — GE. The company moved its global headquarters to Boston after an offer of $25 million in property tax incentives from the city (and up to $120 million more from the state).
Amazon's plans for a second headquarters are pretty grand. The company said the facility would be "a full equal" to its current campus in Seattle. That campus is over 8 million square feet and has 33 buildings.
Walsh said the city could "absolutely" handle an Amazon headquarters.
"If Amazon wants an East Coast headquarters, I don't see any city better in America than Boston, Massachusetts," Walsh said.
Michelle Hillman, a spokesperson for the state's Office of Housing and Economic Development, says the office plans to present "a convincing argument as to why Amazon should choose Massachusetts for its second U.S. headquarters."
Amazon didn't specify whether it's looking to build in a particular region. The company's request for proposals does, however, outline several preferences, including: metro areas with more than a million people; a "business-friendly" environment; areas with strong technical talent; and being close to mass transit, highways and an international airport.
These infrastructure needs could present a challenge for many Boston-area communities hoping to bid for Amazon's headquarters.
"Can you build a full campus? Maybe. Can you build a full campus that's also on the train? That's a tall order for a lot of communities around here," said Chuck Tanowitz, the director of the N-Squared Innovation District in Newton and Needham.
Tanowitz said while the Boston area has the workforce and tech ecosystem to support an Amazon headquarters, the region's transportation infrastructure could hold it back.
"Until we can really get our transportation system moving in a way that we want it to move, some of our efforts in going after companies like this might be limited," Tanowitz said.
Housing is another concern. Namely, that there's already high demand and high costs. The median selling price for a single-family home in the state is now over $400,000, with higher prices around Boston. Walsh said Boston's housing plan is "in pace" with Amazon's headquarter plans.
There's some thinking that a strong bid could be made for Amazon's headquarters if several communities joined together to do a joint proposal.
Cambridge, as an innovation hub, would appear to be an obvious choice in such an effort. But the city manager's office said Cambridge does not plan to submit a proposal for Amazon's second headquarters.
And of course there would be stiff competition from others states, for any local community that ends up bidding.
"[Amazon] could choose almost anywhere they want to go and the question becomes, do they want to bring their people to a place in the country that really needs it? You have a lot of secondary and tertiary cities, Rust Belt cities and so on," Tanowitz said. "Or do they want to go where the people are that they need? Which really, you're looking at the major cities at that point, Boston included."
Amazon, which just completed its purchase of Whole Foods grocery stores, has already expanded its footprint in Massachusetts.
The company plans to add 900 jobs when it opens a new office along Boston's Fort Point Channel next spring.
Amazon also has a massive warehouse in Fall River, a robotics division based in North Reading and teams in Kendall Square working on its Echo device. The tech giant has also grown its brick-and-mortar retail business in the Bay State, opening its first East Coast bookstore in Dedham earlier this year. Amazon later opened a second Massachusetts bookstore in Lynnfield.
The company has also set up package pick-up locations in the area.

RALEIGH, North Carolina (WTVD) -- Bargain seekers will have a new place to hunt for hidden treasure, thanks to the Salvation Army's new Family Store location.
The Salvation Army of Wake County will open the doors of their second Family Store, located at 4025 Wake Forest Rd., on Friday.
The organization said they're happy to be expanding in Raleigh.
"We are thrilled for the opportunity to open a second store," said Major Stephen Long, Corps officer of The Salvation Army in Wake County. "With two locations, all of our kind donors and shoppers will conveniently be able to donate their goods and support the ministry and mission of The Salvation Army of Wake County."
Shoppers have been visiting their first location on Tryon Road for years to browse or drop off their previously loved items for resale.
The organization said Family Stores are very important to the work they do because donated items sold at the store help fund the organization's social ministry programs.
Through their programs, the Salvation Army provides shelter and food to homeless individuals and families daily at the Barbara L Goodman Family Shelter. They also provide resources for survivors of human trafficking through the "Project FIGHT" program.
To celebrate the new store, the Salvation Army will be holding a special celebration ribbon cutting ceremony.
Afterward, attendees can enjoy live music, refreshments, and door prizes including a laptop computer and a new bicycle.
The festivities will begin Friday at 10 a.m. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Stay on top of breaking news stories with the ABC11 News App
Long said it's the local people who have made this expansion possible. "We can only do this because of the people in our community who have supported our store on Tryon Road for so many years."
The new store will be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and they will be closed on Sunday.
To learn more about the new store, how to donate, or about the Salvation Army's programs, visit their website.

By some metrics, the Daily Mail website is the most read newspaper website on t'internet. This is a surprise to many. including me; it's a very strange place to navigate and, if I'm honest, it's not exactly in possession of the sanest editorial policy in the world. But then I often find myself reading things on it that have been linked to by others. Such as this article, sent by TLW.
If you wash up straight after a meal, know how to bleed a radiator and your mother has started asking for your advice, then you can truly claim to have grown up.
Other key signs of adulthood are more obvious, such as having a mortgage, being married?.?.?.? and wearing sensible shoes.
They are all listed among 50 benchmarks that researchers say mark someone out as a grown-up.
The list is hardly comprehensive, and a lot of them aren't exactly grown up in their priorities. Budgeting every month is a pretty sensible one, yes, but Being sensible enough to remove make up before bedtime is (a) not relevant to a huge number of people and (b) a sign more of mitigating juvenile behaviour (such as being too tipsy to take off warpaint before sleep) than of being outright adult. But some are quite sensible and the like: keeping track of interest rates, having a joint bank account, owning a lawn mower, all are quite grown up.
Incidentally, apparently I'm 43/50 "grown up". Any guesses as to which ones I missed?

Now celebrating the 57th Anniversary season, The Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire, or "Renn Faire" as the `regulars' call it, is set in the royal shipyard city, or "Shire," of Port Deptford England of the 1580's. The Elizabethan era Faire runs annually, in Irwindale, California, from the first weekend of April through Memorial Day weekend, this year May 19th.
April 6 was a glorious opening day with fluffy white clouds, lots of blue sky, and a perfect 72 degrees. My first 'Renn Faire" was in the early 70's in Agoura Hills, created originally by Ron and Phyllis Patterson in 1963. I've been a 'regular' since the days in Devore.
Today's merchants, participants, and fairgoers alike, enjoy dressing in period costumes and are immersed in the music, language, merchant scene, and entertainment of the era. Thousands of performers roam the 23-acre lakeside shire, including Her Majesty, `Queen Elizabeth,' as well as a bevy of knights, ladies, peasants, and more colorful characters than one could count! Photo opportunities are everywhere. Over the years I've made many friends at the Faire and enjoy catching up each year. Everyone is always abuzz with new costumes and characters and for this article I want to pay tribute to those "Fairgoers" who keep coming back year after year, and enjoy the feast of friendship and costumes and The Renn Faire.
There are thirteen stages of nonstop entertainment everyday of Faire! The entertainment lineup features a wide variety of acts; from Amazing feats of jousting, to aerial silk dancers, jugglers, and musicians. Three of my favorite acts are Moonie, and Broon, performing separately, and together at the last show of the day, and also The Merry Wives of Windsor. No matter how many times I see their shows, I totally crack up! They can be a bit naughty, but hey, that's why I love them. New this year, Story Pirates celebrates the words and ideas of children by presenting them live on stage. Kathleen Finnegan brings the magic of the Irish Harp to the Faire, and Tea & Strumpets presents the rowdiest village tea band in the land.
Welcomed back this year are Aaron Bonk Whip Artist, The Lynx Show, and The Jackdaws, along with special guest appearances from Bob Barker Marionettes, The Magikhana Show, and the Tortuga Twins. Faire favorites with the likes of The Clan Tynker Family Circus, and Brandon Scott: The Wizard of Wonder. Sing along with the beloved The Poxy Boggards and do not miss the Belly Dancers, with Seraphim Arabesque. Feel the thunder of The Jousters and the gust of wind ruffle your hair as the Birds of Prey fly just inches above you. You are sure to find something and someone new to enjoy with each visit to Faire.
The Merchants at the Faire are truly Artist's, plying their craft with unique artistic creativity in over 125 booths set along the walkways as you meander the Shire during the day. Nowhere else can you find the combinations of artists who will demonstrate their skill at blowing glass or forging iron, create a perfectly authentic article of renaissance clothing, or fashion a one of a kind piece out of exotic leathers. Whether you fancy delicately formed gold jewelry or prefer to sport a drinking horn about your neck, there are crafts to outfit yourself and your home. Some of my favorites are The Big Hat Pirates, where you can find a new leather chapeau, and Fellowship Foundry for a collection of pewter goblets, great for carrying my wine at the Faire. Other Merchants my frau and I personally recommend are; The Shirtmaker, Pendragon Costumes, Opal Moon Designs, and Hearts Delight. We are still trying new merchants on every visit and always making new exciting finds.
Children delight in having their face painted, their hair braided or finding a new puppet friend. You can even have a pair of shoes, or boots, custom made at the Faire. Arts and crafts workshops such as Celtic drawing, beadwork and basket weaving are offered for all ages at Queen's College for those that crave a do-it-yourself souvenir.
Theme Weekends include those for the kids as well as those just for the adult folk. The Gnome Hunt goes all season long, the Time Traveler Weekend is April 13 & 14, Pirate Weekend is perhaps the most popular and is held this season on April 20 & 21. Scouts Weekend is May 4 & 5, and May 11 & 12 is Military Appreciation weekend. Closing Day, May 19 features the always spectacular Closing Day Parade. Check the website for more details including contest.
The Renaissance Pleasure Faire is proud to present some of the finest festival food. Boasting local and internationally trained chefs, twenty-three food vendors offer an array of foods from fish and chips and sausages to salads and sorbets. Vegetarian and Vegan entrees and desserts are available. Our Pub Crawl is offered twice each day where you'll visit six of our village pubs for drinks, games, toasts, and jokes to make everyone blush accompanied by the most boisterous characters in town! Pub Crawl will sell out, so stop by the Guest Services Gazebo inside the front gate to sign up early! Just for the heck of it, you gotta' try a good ole Turkey Leg to gnaw on!
Parking is an additional ten-dollars or twenty-dollars for preferred. While parking is plentiful it is best when you arrive early. Be prepared for a day of walking, realizing you will be on uneven ground most of the time. This year there has been a change in the "walking" layout, which I've heard grumblings about from fairgoers. I'm sure it will get worked out.
The Faire remains a wonderful event for family and friends, and beware some content is a bit Bawdy, perhaps harkening back to days-of-yore. You will find yourself immersed in the town experience as a pageant unfolds all around you all day long. Costumes are not required but really, I find that it is a lot more fun, getting into the character of it all. Of course you can rent a costume for the day, at the Faire.
There are other Faires throughout the Country, more info can be found on the website, along with ticket pricing and details specific to each. Let me know about your visits, and what you liked most. I will be posting Albums of photos from the Faire on Social Media as well.

Well, it was, and the Internet is raging. [Cosmopolitan US]

- Pia Wurtzbach took to Instagram to condemn the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) for releasing the names of 11 "supposedly gay men" who were arrested during a drug bust operation at an upscale hotel in BGC this weekend.
One of the men arrested was found to be HIV positive. Still, the "PDEA and local news outlets decided to expose the identities of these men to the media. Their mugshots, names, and the HIV status of one of them were released." Pia continued, "Was this really necessary? I understand that what the men were supposedly doing was illegal and they should face legal consequences. But there was absolutely no need to expose and publicly shame them. It's illegal to publicly announce one's HIV status (RA8504). What has been done has not only traumatized the men that were involved; it has also worsened the HIV situation in the Philippines. We're working so hard in educating the people properly on HIV/AIDS, on taking away the stigma."
"Because of what [the] PDEA and the news outlet have done, some people are now associating drugs and immorality with being gay. It's ridiculous. The whole point of this drug raid was to arrest the men for their supposed crime, which was selling/distributing and using illegal narcotics. Being gay is not a crime! Living with HIV is not a punishment!"

Theatre gives courage and confidence to act: Hiten Tejwani
Actor Hiten Tejwani, who is a popular figure on Indian television, has said that his stint in theatre has helped him become a good actor.
Trending Photos
Mumbai: Actor Hiten Tejwani, who is a popular figure on Indian television, has said that his stint in theatre has helped him become a good actor.
"I started my career by doing plays in theatre. My family was bothered because I was a graduate but didn't pursue a job. I used to spend the entire day doing theatre, and at that time, there was no money in theatre. When I look back, though, I feel people who are interested in acting should do theatre at the start (of their career) because it helps you to increase your confidence," said Hiten, while interacting with the media on Wednesday in Mumbai.
He added that theatres give courage to an actor to act in front of the camera: "It gives you courage to act, because when you can act in front of a live audience, you can do anything in front of the camera. I feel my stint in theatre didn't go waste because today it is easier for me to act in front of the camera or to get into the skin of a character so, people who want to do theatres shouldn't be discouraged at all. It is a good thing for an actor."
Hiten has featured in successful television soaps such as "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi", "Kutumb", "Kasautii Zindagii Kay", "Kkusum", "Gangaa" and "Pavitra Rishta". He has also featured in films such as "Kalank", "Love Games", "Entertainment", "Krishna Cottage" and "Joggers Park".
"I always wanted to become an actor but I wanted to act in films. But when I saw there are really good opportunities on television, I shifted focus to television," Hiten said, about his decision to join the world of the small screen.
The actor said he would like to play negative roles mow. "I am an actor so every time I cannot say that I want to play the main lead. I know that I can carry the project on my shoulders but I feel there are other important characters in stories and without those characters, the story can not move forward. I think when you play a negative character you cannot restrict yourself. You can go wild. So, I feel that playing negative characters has its own fun," he explained.
