NEW YORK (Reuters) - A former employee of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York can press forward with a lawsuit accusing the Fed of discriminating against him after he suffered trauma in the September 11 attacks, a judge has ruled.
Bruce Goonan, a 25-year veteran of the New York Fed's information technology department, sued in the Manhattan federal court, saying the New York Fed did not accommodate his disability. He said he retired in 2011 rather than risk suicide.
U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken denied the New York Fed's request to dismiss the case.
"Ultimately, Plaintiff can plausibly allege that he was discriminated against — and thereby discharged — because of his disability," Oetken said on Monday in a written ruling.
A New York Fed representative declined to comment Tuesday, and Goonan's lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
In his lawsuit, filed in 2012, Goonan accused the New York Fed of discrimination and retaliation under the Americans with Disabilities Act as well as violations of other state and city laws.
The New York Fed had argued that the Federal Reserve Act, enacted in 1913, gives it broad discretion to dismiss employees regardless of state and local law. It also contended that it offered reasonable workplace accommodations to Goonan. The judge disagreed with both arguments.
In the lawsuit, Goonan said he was trapped in his office during the 2001 attacks in lower Manhattan, and thought he was going to die.
His situation worsened in 2010 when his office moved to a building overlooking the former World Trade Center site and he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, he said.
The lawsuit said the New York Fed denied his request to telecommute or work from another office a few blocks away, and instead offered accommodations for the new location closer to Ground Zero, such as listening to music on a headset, that he did not think would be effective.
Goonan said in his complaint that he consistently met expectations in his work and was progressively promoted to more senior roles. But his job performance deteriorated as the New York Fed refused to accommodate his disability, he said. Rather than risk committing suicide, Goonan retired in 2011, he said in his court papers.
The case is Goonan v. Federal Reserve Bank of New York, United States District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 12-3859.

Fish En Papillote
Makes 6 servings
The long-famous Antoine's restaurant in New Orleans is credited with inventing Pompano en Papillote, created in honor of a celebrated balloonist who was visiting the city. The parchment paper used in the dish was intended to represent a balloon, but it
Find this recipe and more in Chef Paul Prudhomme's Always Cooking!.
4 tablespoons, plus 2 teaspoons Chef Paul Prudhomme's Seafood Magic®
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, in all
¼ cup all-purpose flour
6 ounces bacon, diced
1 cup diced ham (about 4 ounces)
2 cups chopped onions
2 cups chopped green bell peppers
1 cup chopped celery
3 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup seafood stock
2 cups heavy cream
½ pound lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
½ pound peeled shrimp (about ¾ pound unpeeled shrimp)
6 filets of any fresh fish available in your area, such as pompano, tilapia, grouper, sole
Parchment paper (available in kitchenware shops and some supermarkets)
how to prepare
Combine the first two ingredients in a small bowl to make the Seasoning Mix. Makes 5 tablespoons plus 2¼ teaspoons.
Make 6 hearts out of parchment paper: Cut 6 sheets of paper 18 inches square and fold them in half. Cut out the shape of a heart half in each, and open up to hearts measuring 18 inches across the widest part and 13 inches from the top "V" to the bottom point. Set aside.
Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in an 8-inch skillet over high heat. When the butter sizzles, add the flour and 1 teaspoon of the Seasoning Mix and cook, whisking constantly with a wire whisk, until thick and thoroughly blended into a roux, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
Place the bacon in a 12-inch skillet over high heat and cook until lightly browned, about 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the ham and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon and ham are well browned, about 4 minutes. Remove the bacon and ham with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat and return the skillet to high heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, celery and 1 tablespoon of the Seasoning Mix. Scrape the bottom of the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are lightly browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and 1 tablespoon of the Seasoning Mix and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Add the seafood stock and cook, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add the heavy cream, bring to a rolling boil, and cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Then cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Add the reserved bacon and ham and the butter/flour roux and cook, whisking, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the crabmeat, shrimp, and 1 tablespoon plus 1½ teaspoons of the Seasoning Mix. Pour this stuffing mixture into a shallow pan and refrigerate until cold.
Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Melt the remaining butter in a small pan. Remove from the heat.
Brush each paper heart with some of the melted butter and place a fish fillet on one half of each heart. Brush the fish with butter and sprinkle each fillet with ½ teaspoon of the Seasoning Mix. Spoon 1 cup of the stuffing over each fillet. Fold over the hearts, twist the edges to seal tightly and completely, and brush the outside of each package with the melted butter. Place on a baking sheet and bake until the paper is puffed and lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
Use scissors to cut a large "X" in the top of the parchment hearts, fold back the paper, and serve immediately.

I'm not very good at scripts so i will try to word my findings as simple as it's possible.
1. Trucks pathfinding, the most irritating is their path to assist a construction when there is 4 or more of them, blocked ones try to ram their friends, which already build the structure, in the butt with full force and ain't even thinking about going around it. Also trucks with medium and large body make it even harder as even 2 or sometimes 1 truck is enough to block the way for the other one wich is supposed to help with building ( as i wrote i'm not good with scripting but i would give a building truck different status, similar to non-mobile structure, so other trucks would recognize it as an obstacle and go around instead of ramming it pointlessly)
2. Military units pathfinding with automatic return to repair command, it's kind of obvious that units which drive in front of the column will take the first fire and most damage burst from enemy, if the return for repair command is enabled, at certain hp level they will simply turn back and ride right into their clone tanks faces blocking way in and out, stoping the whole column, often taking damage from artillery and not being able to return fire, resulting in more tanks turning around and blocking way untill whole batalion is dead. So my point here is to give "broken" tanks different status, same as i propposed with building trucks, that the column of full health tanks will try to go around and will see them as obstacle, while broken tanks will be free to go back to repair.
I hope such feedback is of any use, and I wanted to thank all those people who work to make this (one of the best rts) game even better.

The Punditry Crisis
What will save America from this awful calamity?
I first realized something was terribly, terribly wrong when a Fox News producer called me yesterday. She wanted me to opine about the scandal on Sunday, when the cable news channel will do a Flytrap marathon in anticipation of the president's testimony. Her call was fishy for two reasons: 1) I am not usually first, or second, or last on any TV booker's guest list; and 2) she said the following to me, imploringly: "We're really looking for something different. Can you be different?"
(Well, I thought to myself, of course I can be different. My mother always told me I was "different.")
The pursuit of wretched excess in Flytrap--a pursuit in which Slate has eagerly participated--is producing some unfortunate results. One, which I wrote about last week, is the rising popularity of preposterous conspiracy theories. The Punditry Crisis is another. Not since the late-O.J. era has America faced such an alarming moment. Is there anything left to say?
The crisis is, at bottom, a market failure. Ratings demonstrate that TV viewers (never mind their protestations) want to hear about Flytrap all the time. The gross appetites of CNN, MSNBC, and Fox must be sated. Crossfire must have fire. Hardball must be hard. Face the Nation must have someone to face. But there's not enough supply to meet the demand. As Aug. 17 approaches, Flytrap is in an information blackout. The White House is silent, and Starr's office has stopped leaking. Every hypothesis has been hypothesized. Every theory theorized. Every spin spun. Each tiny nugget of new information is chewed, swallowed, regurgitated as cud, and chewed again. Pundits are reduced to flogging thirdhand and fourthhand rumors. Can any TV watcher endure another Jonathan Turley sermon or Lanny Davis "wait and see" or Laura Ingraham huff?
Too much demand, too little supply. TV producers are on a desperate, futile quest for someone--or something--different to put on the air. (This crisis is not, of course, limited to television: Those of us in the print and e-media are thrashing through the same news vacuum.)
"Ireally don't know what pundits will do. We have six days to fill. And there's nothing," warns Time's Margaret Carlson. "If I had even one new fact, I would lock it in a vault until I could use it [in a column or on television]. If I had even one new observation, I would not breathe a word about it until I could use it. One piece of real news would eat all this [blather] up like kudzu."
Not every pundit is worrying about the crisis. Some Panglossian commentators claim there is no crisis at all. One compares Flytrap to World War I trench battles: "No one is getting overrun, but steady progress is being made." In fact, he says, plenty of fascinating new details emerge every day. (When asked for an example of such a detail, he suggests, halfheartedly, "what Monica ate for lunch.") And for freshly minted Flytrap pundits such as Turley, there is no crisis, either. This is their moment. No topic is so stale that it cannot be reheated: After all, it gets you air time. And besides, say the Panglossians, no matter how much Flytrap nothing is being spewed, think how much worse it would be if there were no scandal at all. At least it's something to talk about.
But should we simply relax and let the Punditry Crisis grow into a catastrophe? Right-thinking people can agree: We should not. Stuart Taylor Jr., in a moment of high-minded optimism, proposes that pundits take advantage of the information vacuum to talk about first principles. Instead of jabbing fingers over Monica's dress, for example, they should discuss the fundamentals of sexual harassment law. I'm not sure Taylor's worthy solution is possible but, whether it is or it isn't, I think we can all concur that that the Punditry Crisis requires immediate action. Well, maybe not action, but definitely a lot more talk.
More Evidence That He Won't Do a Mea Culpa
One popular hypothesis about Aug. 17 is the notion that Clinton won't admit/apologize because Hillary Clinton won't let him. She refuses to let him humiliate her. Further support for this theory comes from a profile of Hillary in today's Washington Post. The Post rediscovered an astonishing 7-month-old quote from the first lady. Everyone remembers that the first lady blamed Flytrap on a "vast right-wing conspiracy" in a Today show interview during the first days of the crisis. The Post reminds readers of what else she said (Hillary's words are in italics):
"If a president were proved to have had an adulterous liaison while in the White House, the American people 'should certainly be concerned about it ... if all that were proven true, I think that would be a very serious offense. That is not going to be proven true. I think we're going to find some other things.' "
This is, admittedly, just a single line from a long-ago interview, but it suggests that the Clintons are locked into a denial. If Clinton admits an affair, how could Hillary ever explain away this quote? Can the president do a mea culpa knowing that the video of Hillary saying it "would be a very serious offense" would be thrown back in his face again and again and again?

Our track record indicates that our students are highly successful in gaining employment. Students complete the course as passionate linguists with a broad and creative modern languages teaching repertoire.
The support and encouragement of all mentors and course staff went above and beyond expectations.
Introduction to the School
Our School of Education has a well established reputation for delivering high quality initial teacher education in partnership with Primary, Secondary and other education providers in the North West.
Our academic staff have years of professional experience behind them, as teachers, Head Teachers, Department Heads, Inspectors and Advisers. Members of the team have been involved in national projects and have significant expertise in current school-focused initiatives and curriculum design.
In the 2014 REF, LJMU's education-related research was ranked fourth in the UK's Post-92 Universities, with over 60% of work considered world leading or internationally excellent. This research helps ensure our postgraduate courses are at the forefront of developments in the field and that you have an opportunity to study alongside leading experts.
All students are assigned a Personal Tutor who is responsible for your academic and personal progress throughout the course. Support during teaching practice is particularly important and so in addition to mentoring from school-based staff, you will have visits from a University Liaison Tutor to monitor and support your progress and observe and give feedback on your teaching.
All of our initial teacher education programmes are accredited by the National College of Teaching and Leadership and students who successfully complete our PGDE programmes graduate with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), the essential accreditation for anyone who wants to teach in state-maintained and special schools in England and Wales.
School Direct
School Direct is a new route into teaching which is led by schools, working in close collaboration with Initial Teacher Education providers, such as LJMU. It is an alternative route into teaching from traditional mainstream PGCE and PGDE programmes and offers trainees a more school-led approach. LJMU works closely with a number of lead schools across the North West as part of the School Direct initiative.
Why study this course at LJMU?
The course involves the exploration of practical teaching and learning methodologies which are underpinned by the latest research. You will participate in several training days in different schools in addition to those where you will undertake your teaching practice.

The degree classification should be at 2:2 or above. Applications are also welcome from graduates in other disciplines who are native or near-native speakers of French, Spanish or German. Applicants whose qualifications were not gained in the U.K. may be required to have their equivalence checked through NARIC.
Are there any alternative ways to meet the entry requirements?
Don't hold back from applying for teacher training in Modern Languages because of your subject knowledge. You may still be able to train to teach Modern Languages (and be eligible for the bursaries it attracts) by building up or refreshing your existing knowledge with a subject knowledge enhancement (SKE) programme. So If you want to teach Modern Languages but have an insufficient level of the subject in your degree to access the course, you should consider a fully funded subject knowledge enhancement course in Modern Languages which could help prepare you to train to teach the subject effectively. Further details can be obtained here:
Some offers may be conditional upon completing a subject knowledge enhancement course prior to commencing the PGDE, this will be discussed at interview.
Additional requirements for the programme include:
- GCSE English Language and Mathematics at grade C or above (or equivalent qualification).
- A demonstrable interest in teaching within the curriculum area. You could show this in a number of ways – time spent in schools, knowledge of the chosen curriculum area, relevant practical experience. A minimum of 5 days' work experience in a UK Secondary school is normally required prior to commencing the programme. We can help to arrange this for successful applicants
- Applicants offering German as their main language should also have adequate subject knowledge to competently teach French or Spanish to Key Stage 3 before commencing the PGDE course
Please note: original evidence of GCSE passes (or equivalent) and your degree (if you have already graduated) will be required at interview. For the purposes of initial teacher training, level 2 numeracy and literacy qualifications are not considered as equivalent to GCSE grade C in Mathematics or English.
You are required by the Department for Education to undertake Professional Skills Tests in Literacy and Numeracy prior to entry to this programme. Successful completion of the Professional Skills Tests will form part of the conditions of any offer of a place. Further details can be found at Get into Teaching.
If you accept a formal offer from LJMU you will be required to meet the Department for Education's standards for physical and mental fitness to teach and clearance to work with children.

A range of Bursaries are available to support those training to teach. The amount of Bursary depends on your subject and degree classification. For further information you should consult the Get into Teaching website.
If you are eligible for a Bursary you do not need to apply for one; once you are enrolled at LJMU you will begin receiving payments from the beginning of your course.
To encourage graduates to train as Science, Technology Mathematics and Languages teachers, Bursaries of up to £25,000 may be available.
Alternatively, if you have a good first degree, you can apply for a scholarship from professional subject bodies such as the IoP, RSC, IMA and BCS.
Full time students on PGDE courses are eligible for the same range of financial support as undergraduate students. This includes:
- a non means-tested student loan to cover your tuition fees
- a means-tested student loan to help cover your living expenses
- a means-tested maintenance grant, which does not have to be paid back
- a means-tested LJMU Bursary worth up to £500, which does not have to be paid back
Please note:
- You will be charged a tuition fee of £9,250 for your PGDE course - you can take out a tuition fees loan to pay for this
- Your tuition fees loan is not means-tested and covers the full amount of your tuition fees. This money is paid direct to LJMU
- Maintenance loans are means-tested and the amount you receive will depend on your household income (parents' or partner's income plus yours)
- You only start repaying your students loan after you graduate and start earning over £21,000
Graduate employment
The employment prospects of LJMU teacher training graduates are extremely positive with most subjects exceeding the national averages in terms of employment. The programme provides opportunities for engagement with relevant local employment organisations including schools and teacher recruitment agencies through on-campus events and school-based placements. You are encouraged to join the relevant professional association for your area of study, extending your professional network.
After completing your PGDE you can progress to the MA Education Practice programme for Newly Qualified Teachers which will enable you to complete a full MA during your first year of employment.
LJMU also provides specialist Masters programmes in Advanced Educational Practice, with specialist pathways in Teaching and Learning, Special Educational Needs, Mentoring and Coaching and in Leadership and Management.
The course is, of course, intended for those preparing to enter the teaching profession. An annual "Get that Job" day helps prepare you for success in your first applications. Indeed, most of our students go on to achieve their career goal, working in state or independent schools and colleges.
Teaching provides a variety of pathways leading to specialist roles ranging from pastoral to subject leadership and on into school leadership positions. Having gained experience in teaching, a number of graduates move into associated professions such as Educational Psychology, consultancy, and in the education service sector outside of schools.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — One of the longest and most bitter labor disputes in Atlantic City, N.J. is over.
Privately held Resorts Casino Hotel has signed a contract with the main casino workers' union, ending a more than two-year dispute that included picketing on the Boardwalk and a pressure campaign by Local 54 of the Unite-HERE union to have other unions cancel conventions at the hotel.
Both sides signed off on the deal in late December, but did not reveal the pact until this week.
A Resorts spokeswoman says the deal is essentially the same as those signed by other casinos.
Nine of the city's 12 casinos have labor deals with Local 54.

The release of the depth chart Monday confirmed what reporters had been seeing in practice for over a week and that was Richard Marshall working a lot with the first-team defense ahead of Vontae Davis, indeed, often moreso than the former first-round draft pick.
Hard to believe, right?
The Dolphins were lining up a free-agent addition -- and not an exceedingly high-priced one -- ahead of the player who last season led the team in interceptions and finished with something of a flurry.
And so out came the speculation and theories. It must be a move to motivate Davis. It must be the team saving Davis' hamstrings, which betrayed him early last season. It must be coaches trying to light fires or put out fires.
It couldn't simply be that Marshall was practicing harder and more consistently than Davis. I kind of bought into the so-called conspiracy theories for a couple of days. But today I quit. Today, I begin to believe the truth and that is Davis will regain his job when he's the better cornerback and right now, today, he's not there.
Simple as that.
And don't believe me. Check out what defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle says of Marshall:
Tremendous focus. Not a snap in practice he doesn't give everything. More consistent in practice. Made more plays.
Simple as that.
Philbin apparently is not the mind-bending coach that Jimmy Johnson fancied himself as being. Philbin believes in communicating what he expects and then wants players to respond with maximum effort to meet those expectations.
"If you clearly communicate as a coach what the expectations are, what the job requirements are and what you're looking for, it's up to the player to fulfill those ... If you communicate what you're looking for and what you need from each guy, it's up to them to fulfill that role on the ballclub. I don't necessarily spend a lot of time thinking about ... again, we want guys that love the game and want to be good. If you have to play tricks with the depth chart today and this other thing tomorrow, at the end of the day, that's probably not the type of player that long-term is going to fit here in my opinion."
Coyle says not to put stock in the depth chart in early August. It is not the Gospels. But unless Davis turns around his inconsistent work and shows all the focus and consistency he is capable of mustering, his superior athletic skill won't be enough to retake the job.
I don't know if that will happen or not. The Dolphins want it to happen because it means they've got a gifted player at his best while also having Marshall giving them a third cornerback that could compete for a starting job on many teams.
If that happens, great. If not, Davis will still play a lot. But Marshall's move in training camp will not be the ploy by a coaching staff pulling strings. It will be legitimate.
Tha'ts good.
It was a fine day for Miami's wide receivers. I didn't see any drops today. Not one. Meanwhile B.J. Cunningham had two leaping grabs that impressed, Clyde Gates had two deep catches and catch on a slant that showed good concentration, and Roberto Wallace snatched another ball out of a defender's grasp. Good work all around.
Chris Clemons had an interception of David Garrard at the goal line ... Jimmy Wilson dove and came up with an interception that he basically scooped off the ground after another defender knocked it down ...
Shotgun snaps continue to plague as Mike Pouncey had one errant snap today ...
Matt Moore's hands continue to be a question mark. He had a hard time holding on to the ball in the pocket last year. He fumbled on today while scrambling.
Daniel Thomas had his best run of training camp when he took a handoff and plowed through a hole between Jake Long and Richie Incognito during team drills. The kid looked like a latter day John Riggins on the play as he accelerated past the second level.

Riding in a city, big or small, brings many more risks for us motorcycle riders. Cities have more traffic, therefore more cars that can bump into us like strangers in the night. But not all cities are equal in the risk you undertake when riding there. It is strange that some cities are consistently bad to drive, while others are more or less a pleasure. What causes this? Is it the city itself that makes people drive their car badly, or is it the air they breath?
We can not really answer that question, if we could, we would probably be very rich. But what we can do is tell you which cities are great to ride your motorcycle in, and which you should avoid like the bubonic plague.
Insurance company AllState research every year where the most claims for car accidents are filed. They look at 200 cities in the USA, and correlate the data into a comprehensive report, showing what are the safe cities, and which are not.
Obviously there are differences in driving ethics between big and smaller cities. In bigger cities, people spend longer times in their cars, and therefore are more frequently annoyed. In smaller cities, speeds tend to be faster.
According to AllState, the best place to drive is Fort Collins in Colorado. Compared to the national average, you have 28.2% less chance to have an accident there. For an individual person, they will have on average an accident every 13.9 years. That means almost 14 years between accidents.
The safest "big" city to drive in is Phoenix, Arizona, with a 2% less chance of an accident, and an average accident every 9.8 years. Not bad, plus you can ride your motorcycle all year there.
The worst city in the USA, therefore the unsafest, is Washington, DC. There the chance of having an accident is 109.3%, so it's almost a guarantee that you will be in some sort of an accident. The average number of years between accidents there is 4.8 years. Washington in particular is probably the city where the air you breath makes you an aggressive and bad driver. All that testosterone in the air.
You can read the data and explanations by clicking here. And if you want to read the whole report, click here to read the PDF report.
Remember that when you ride your motorcycle, it is always best to be ATGATT (All the Gear, All The Time). This is always important, but riding in a city brings so many more dangers with cars all around you that can hit you. Wearing a Helmet, jacket, boots and gloves are the only way you can escape these kind of dangers.
So ride safe, even if you have to ride in Washington.

This wallpaper is pretty easy to do but there is one trick to achieve good results. The secret is to use combination of shapes, layer effects, and masks. So, as always, start with solid color.
Set foreground color to darker blue, and use VERY large brush to fill background with curved gradients (you can use Blur filter with large radius after that).
Create new layer, switch to Pen tool, and draw some abstract shape, similar (or not similar) to shown here. Color does not matter - i used black.
Open layer effects, add white outer glow, size: 80-150 px.
Here goes the tricky part! Right-click on the layer (precisely on f" icon representing layer effects) and choose "Create Layer". A new layer will be create under your shape layer containing outer glow
set blend mode of outer glow layer to overlay.
Another trick: create a mask for this layer (Layer menu - Layer mark - Reveal all). Mark icon will appear on layer. Click it to make sure it is selected, switch to large black brush, and draw large black strokes here and there inside the mask. Of course you could simply use large soft eraser tool to do the same. But using mask, you can undo the results anytime if you are not happy with them.
Repeat all steps from step 3.
Then again, and again!
The final touch could be to add some texture to the blue background color (filter menu - texture - Texturizer). Make sure to use Fade (Ctrl-Shift-F) immediately after you applied the filter - too much filter looks bad.

15 hurt in Chicago O'Hare airport bus crash
(CNN) — A shuttle bus crashed Friday morning at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, injuring 15 people, police said, and temporarily snarling vehicle traffic at one of the world's busiest centers for air travel.
The bus, shuttling people between the terminals and a rental car company, was leaving Interstate 190 on a lane toward a terminal when it struck a concrete median about 6:30 a.m. CT, CNN affiliate WBBM reported.
Fifteen people were injured and were being taken to hospitals, but the severity of their injuries wasn't immediately clear, Chicago police spokeswoman Ana Pacheco said.
The injured included the driver, who for a time was pinned by a guardrail that penetrated the bus upon impact, CNN affiliate WLS reported. Two Chicago firefighters who witnessed the crash freed the driver and then helped other passengers, WLS reported.
Details about what caused the wreck were not immediately available.
The wreck prompted the closure of some I-190 lanes and caused traffic backups on the interstate on Friday morning, WLS reported.

text: Cary Grant made his feature film debut in 1932's This is the Night. Grant plays the Olympic-athlete husband of Thelma Todd, who in turn is the object of desire for Parisian millionaire Roland Young. To keep Grant from catching on, Young hires Lily Damita to pose as his wife. Later, Young arranges to catch Grant in a compromising situation with Damita, thus leaving the field clear for Todd. But when Grant falls for Damita, Young finds that he is genuinely jealous! Several chucklesome complications later, all the parties involved settle down with their proper mates. Directed by Frank Tuttle, This is the Night is a reasonable facsimile of Ernst Lubitsch's frothy Paramount comedies, right down to the comic recitative (Madame has lost her dress! Madame has lost her dress!) built into the musical score.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

360 all the things
What you are seeing here are a number of images of Kingston, all shot with an iPhone 5S, using either Google Street View (those would be the less stellar images) or Sphere, both free apps in the Apple store.
The purpose of this experiment is to see how much can one do in 360 and virtual reality with essentially all free tools.
The images were stitched together using MediaImpression, though you could easily use whatever video program you have. You could even use Windows Movie Maker (and convert it to MP4 with a free converter or even uploading and downloading back from Youtube).
You can see the black bars as black circles above and below because the images were not tall enough for the widescreen video format (I am trying to see how much I can do with free software so I'm willing to cut some corners, sometimes literally).
I then added the 360 metadata (with a free program from Google) that tells Youtube (and Facebook!) that the video is, indeed, 360.
So, if you have an Android, you can probably see this in virtual reality with a Google Cardboard viewer or something similar.
I have an iPhone, so I use the Homido app that allows users to see everything in virtual reality.
The iPhone's Youtube app currently doesn't support virtual reality, though you can now see these videos in 360. That is expected to change soon.
The Facebook 360 version now works in Phones as well, and since the social network owns Oculus Rift, I'm expecting to see Virtual Reality there as well.

Fly Fishing the Stock Market:
How to Search for, Catch and Net the Market's Best Trades
By Stephen Morris
John Wiley& Sons, Inc., 2012
$75.00; 280 Pages
This book's title reminds me of another book titled "Flying the Stock Market" by Franklin G. Reick. Both are similar in that they use the authors' fishing and flying experience, respectively, to explain how they trade in the stock market based on technical tools. Although both authors provide a solid technical view to profitable trading, they use different approaches.
Morris believes that successful trading and fly fishing both require three critical psychological traits: Persistence, passion and patience. The author stresses the importance of focusing on price as the key variable because stocks have specific behavioral price patterns that repeat over time.
To interpret the price behavior, he uses technical indicators and chart patterns. The first step is to focus on the general condition of the market using several tools and time frames. Morris explains that a trader needs to first analyze the market to determine its rhythm and cycles. Then he suggests looking at sectors, industries and groups to come up with suitable buy candidates. Morris recommends that individuals trade only a few securities, rather than focusing on too many.
The author uses a building block approach to explain his trading methodology. The first subject areas covered are the basic chart types, patterns and indicators. He introduces a handful of indicators including the 8-, 21- and 50-period exponential moving averages, MACD and histogram, Force Index and Bollinger Bands that can be used on daily and weekly charts. According to the author, when a buy or sell signal occurs simultaneously or near each other on a number of these indicators, then there is a greater chance of a profitable outcome. He introduces two unique tools — the Weather Vane and the Weather Station — that are reviewed in detail with colored charts with indicators.
The stock market has various seasons when stocks behave differently, just like the weather, and they require different trading approaches. Morris introduces the Weather Vane, which superimposes a weekly chart of the volatility index (VIX with an 8-ema) on top of the S&P 500 Index (coupled with an MACD) that is used to forecast potential market moves on a daily, intra-day and hourly basis.
Morris illustrates chart patterns that deceive traders and how to avoid geting caught in those traps. Moreover, he shows how to trade various market patterns and technical breakouts. In a chapter titled "Trophy Room," the author reviews his best trades by providing trade analysis, trade management and the results of the trade. To be honest, he also provides the trades that he missed and the mistakes he made in another chapter. Throughout the book there are many high-quality color charts explaining the author's trading methodology.
This book is highly recommended for traders who are comfortable using technical analysis with a time-tested methodology. It is laid out in a logical fashion, and the chart examples with detailed notes provide a self-paced learning experience. The author's years of experience and expertise are self-evident based on the book's content and writing style. He provides a high-quality companion website that provides free updates to his trading tools and market outlook.

"Well, anyway, it's a good thing you're here. I feel like my ninety-four year old grandfather. Every time I visit him, he looks at me and pleads, 'Just tell me where I am!' That's how I feel. I'm so buried with this project, I don't even know where I am." He couldn't see anything except the shadows of his own anxiety and confusion. His every action was aimed at these shadows and produced only an escalation of tension and helplessness within the office.
We must all learn to see clearly what is actually happening and be able to discern the difference between what is real and what is imaginary.
Most people don't see well, if at all. It's understandable: we never learned how. Anais Nin wrote, "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." Isn't this true? We usually see only our own thoughts and feelings about what we imagine is happening superimposed on what actually is happening.
So, how does one see more clearly, more realistically? Our first response is to do something: I've got to learn something new. Searching through the plethora of self-improvement books, audio- and videotape programs, and seminars, we can find numerous techniques, strategies, and philosophies.
We can also find plenty of new paradigms. New paradigms are very au courant. A paradigm is a pattern of perceiving reality. You may be tempted to exchange your current paradigm for one of these new paradigms, thinking that this will help you see better.
My advice is: If you see a new paradigm, kill it. It will only make things worse
In order to see, we must be free from patterns, because a pattern-any pattern-is another projection of our mind onto what we are trying to see. More shadows. More futility.
My response to my client's state-as it is with almost all situations asking for clarity, problems asking for solutions, doubts asking for assurance-was to request that he sit quietly, relax, attend to his breathing and let silence suffuse his whole being. I requested that he become more aware; not that he think differently or change anything, but that he simply enter into awareness through inner silence.
Awareness cannot be objectified, as it is a unified field of consciousness, so it cannot be strictly defined, only alluded to. In this unified field, there is only awareness itself, not situations and objects and thoughts about situations and objects. Awareness is a direct seeing into the moment, without projection; it is clear insight.
In order to see, we must develop clear awareness. This means that we do not add anything of ourself onto a situation. In order to not add our distorting projections, we must internally free ourself from images, opinions, beliefs, and interests in outcomes or results. These are all obstructions to clarity. When we dissolve these internal structures of patterned perceiving, awareness itself remains.
We can only see deeply into the pond of the mind if the sediment of thoughts and images has settled through the practice of inner silence, of meditation. When our internal structures of patterned perceiving collapses in silence, awareness itself grows like a lovely lotus above the mud. The philosopher J. K. Krishnamurti said, "Silence comes when thought has understood its own beginning, its own nature, and how all thought is never free but always old. To see all this, to see the movement of every thought, to understand it, to be aware of it, is to come to the silence which is meditation."
Awareness itself, not representational thinking and mechanical memory, becomes the means of seeing, of perceiving, what is happening. Awareness is not distorted by second and third thoughts, or by anxiety, doubt, self-interest. Awareness does not turn away in denial, does not grab with desire. Awareness is simple, quiet, present. Awareness means what is.The great sage Ramana Maharshi said, "Effortless and choiceless awareness is our real state."
Entering into our real state will always illuminate who we are, where we are, and what we are doing. We do not need to struggle, to resist, to tear at life. We do not need to impose our will on life. We do not need to act rashly from fear or inelegantly from anxiety and confusion. Awareness itself is enough. Our real state is enough.
May everyone be at peace, in love, and know their most perfect Self.

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

When the people who make Necco Wafers changed their recipe to use natural flavors and colors in 2009, they thought they were doing their customers a favor. But then those customers told the New England Confectionery Company — loudly, and repeatedly — that they preferred artificially enhanced candy.
"Our normal mail volume probably went up twenty-fold" after the change, says Necco Vice President of Research and Quality Jeff Green says. "Some positive, and some negative. But a lot of negative."
The common theme from Necco's longtime customers, Green tells NPR's Michele Norris, was, "You ruined my product, I will never buy anything from you again."
"Ouch," Norris says.
"Yes, ouch," Green says.
And so the company is going back to what it does best: making candy with artificial dyes and good old-fashioned sugar
As Green describes it, customers weren't as upset with the candies' taste as they were with their new color. Instead of artificial dyes and colorings, the revamped Necco wafer used natural colorings made from turmeric , red beets, purple cabbage, and cocoa powder. The company also replaced the artificial flavors in some of the wafers with natural flavors.
"The flavors, I thought, were very close, if not identical," says Green.
"I mean, considering that four of the flavors, we didn't touch. So, the colors influence people's perception of what things taste like."
Green admits that customers who eat Necco wafers more than he does might be more attuned to subtle changes in the taste. A report in the Boston Globe suggests that customers also felt the new flavors were inferior. After sales dropped by around 35 percent, he says, the company knew it had made a mistake, and that it was time to return to the artificial colorings.
"When you're tampering with the family jewels for [the first time in] 150 years," Green says, "we expected some fallout. I don't think we expected it to be quite what it was."
Green says the company wanted to try going natural because sales had been flat. And he'd read the "Southampton Six" report on negative health effects of artificial food colorings and industry reports of strong sales of "natural" products — as April Fulton has reported for The Salt.
"It seemed like a great idea at the time," Green says.
But the new colorings were expensive, and didn't hold their vibrant hue on the shelf.
"Part of the downfall of the concept, is that the colors were so much softer than the original ones," Green says.
Perhaps the problem for Necco, which was founded in 1847, is that, chemicals and all, many people do recognize Necco Wafers as food.
"A stronger part of our customer base is probably an older demographic," Green says. "And that's the part of it that we alienated."
He says that the all-natural shift prompted people to send stories about using the wafers to practice for communion wafers, or poker chips — even, reportedly, to fool tollbooths in Chicago.
"People were reminding us of what they grew up with," he says.
And maybe that's part of the reason people like eating them — to trigger old memories, and to eat a candy that promises neither to be a "brain food" nor an answer to life's problems. It's just a little candy wafer that's sweet, and unnaturally attractive.
As if we needed any proof of the candy's old-school gravitas, consider this statement, from Necco's website:
The U.S. Government requisitioned a major portion of the production of NECCO Wafers during World War II. The candy doesn't melt and is practically indestructible during transit, making it perfect for shipping overseas to the troops.
Yes, it turns out that Necco Wafers are a candy you can go to war with. And if they were good enough for the Greatest Generation, its customers said, they're good enough for me.
We've heard plenty of stories these days about food companies trying to make their products just a little healthier, less sugar, fewer trans fats. But now, the story of a company that's had a change of heart in the other direction.
In a do-the-right-thing gesture, two years ago, the New England Candy Company known for its Necco Wafers decided to use beets and cabbage to color and flavor the circular chalky candy. It wanted to be all natural.
Well, sales sunk and complaints soared, so Necco is going back to doing what it does best: making candy with artificial dyes and good old fashioned sugar. For more on the switch and the switch back, we're joined by Jeff Green. He's the vice president for innovation at Necco.
Welcome to the program.
JEFF GREEN: Thank you.
NORRIS: Why did you originally decide to go all natural?
GREEN: When we started discussing it, you know, looking at sales, sales were kind of flat and we were looking to kind of put a little pizzazz behind our trademark product. Looking at the trade journals, natural food sales were up, organic food sales were up. Everybody was doing great, so it seemed like a great idea at the time.
NORRIS: There are eight different Necco Wafers in that little tube that you get and they vary in color. Could you just pick one of the four that you changed and walk us through what you did to try to make that change and how close to the mark you got?
GREEN: OK. I'll take licorice. The colors were so expensive and so unstable and to try to even approximate that charcoal gray color would have probably raised the price to, like, $5 a roll.
NORRIS: Oh, my goodness.
GREEN: And people didn't want to even pay a dollar a roll, or at least 35 percent of our consumer base didn't. So, you know, we got a light gray.
NORRIS: What was the response when you rolled out the new Neccos?
GREEN: There was a little bit of, like, wow, that's great. And then there was a lot of, what did you do to my Necco Wafers?
NORRIS: And did that come in the form of letters, emails?
GREEN: Letters.
NORRIS: Calls to the company?
GREEN: Exactly. You know, our normal mail volume probably went up 20-fold.
NORRIS: How much did sales drop?
GREEN: I think, roughly, about 35 percent.
NORRIS: Oh, big drop.
GREEN: Big drop.
NORRIS: You know, listening to you, it sounds like almost a New Coke experience.
GREEN: I've heard it referred to that way. You know, when you're tampering with the family jewels for 150 years, we expected some fallout, but I don't think we expected it to be quite what it was.
NORRIS: Is there a lesson here for candy manufacturers overall, that when people pick up a piece of candy, that's it's more than the flavor, that there's some sort of like childhood memory that's part of that and that you're entering into dangerous territory if you start to play with that?
GREEN: Absolutely. There's a lot of great stories about Necco Wafers and people growing up and using them for communion practice and all kinds of things that we hear anecdotally and, you know, those come back and they kind of haunted us through this period because people were reminding us of what they grew up with.
NORRIS: And World War II memories.
GREEN: Yeah.
NORRIS: You know, Necco Wafers work great if you're playing cards, also.
GREEN: Yes, they do. And I understand they work in the Chicago toll booths, too.
NORRIS: Oh, get out of here. Is that true?
GREEN: I don't have any confirmation.
NORRIS: All right. Chicago listeners, you (unintelligible). Jeff Green, it's been a pleasure to talk to you. All the best to you.
GREEN: Thank you very much. It was a pleasure to talk to you, as well.
NORRIS: Jeff Green is the nice president for innovation at Necco. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
