Smartphoned: Legality of Filming the Police in Light of the First Amendment
The University of St. Thomas Journal of Law and Public Policy Spring 2016 Symposium explores the topic of recording the police.
Date & Time:
University of St. Thomas School of Law
Frey Moot Courtroom
Direct questions to Hannah Lindeborg at email@example.com.
Citizens who engage in recording the police run the risk of violating eavesdropping statutes or having the recordings confiscated as evidence. With the increasing presence of smartphones as recording devices, there has been an increase in the number of police encounters being recorded. The question of whether these recordings are protected under the First Amendment is still being decided in many courts, and privacy rights of the police also are a concern. These subjects continue to play out in the courtroom, in the media and on the streets.

Internet poker is a craze that's swept throughout the earth in the recent past, attracting numerous brand new players each day. There are many internet poker rooms, a lot of offering a poker extra as an incentive to entice members that are new. This provides a great opportunity for players that are new to learn internet poker without much monetary risk.
Nevertheless, the issue is the fact that for individuals that haven't had the game before, internet poker could be confusing. Apart from studying the simple poker rules, players also need to deal with a complete new vocabulary of jargon and terms. This could place some new players off & spoil what must be a pleasurable experience.
Moreover, although the poker extra offers can be found, it's not always clear what a brand new player must do to be able to qualify for these add-ons especially when they're not knowledgeable about poker terminology.
In order to assist newcomers start playing online poker, I would love to explain just how many poker bonus offers job, after which explain the actions necessary for players that are new In order to qualify for these offers.
Put simply, the more you participate in, the additional free chips you get.
Here is just how it works. These extra points are awarded whether or not a player wins or perhaps loses the hand.
This's why the extra is given based upon player involvement.
Thus, when a player's accrued extra points achieve a particular threshold, a percentage of the entire accessible poker bonus is introduced in the player's bank account. This carries on as the professional earns even more points and also reaches fuhrer milestones, until the entire accessible bonus quantity continues to be generated.
After the complete bonus is attained, the reward points will most likely continue being conscious on the player on the exact same schedule. These can usually be replaced for different rewards, or maybe perhaps free merchandise based on the individual promotions offered at the internet poker room.
On certain occasions it is going to be required to enter a poker extra code when registering with the internet poker site, to get the extra. These codes usually are not always shown on the site itself, however they could be from special poker bonus sites.

Using a moniker borrowed from Marcel Duchamp's female alter ego, Rrose first appeared on Sandwell District, a label in no small part responsible for the sound of contemporary techno. Now Rrose also releases on her own imprint Eaux, but the music still shares the same drive to blur lines between heavy industrial clang and gray-textured sound. Her tendency to experiment also landed Rrose a place in the prestigious "Monad" series, curated by Stroboscopic Artefacts.
Visuals for Rrose's set will be prepared by Florence To.

One January evening in 1988, Neil Swanson invited a group of carriage driving enthusiasts to a meeting with the object of starting a harness club. A club that would bring many people together across the Hampshire and Wiltshire areas and a club that would cater for all levels. From juniors to seniors and from pleasure drivers to serious competitors – everybody was welcome and this is how the White Horse Harness Club was born.
>>This is the original badge created for all members.
The clubs values are all based on our love of the sport. We live for it and want to share our passion by encouraging juniors, novices and those new to carriage driving to learn from our members and most importantly we all want to have a laugh along the way.
Live. Learn. Laugh.
Over the years the Club has gone from strength to strength and is now rated among the top driving clubs in the country. We hold a variety of indoor and outdoor events throughout the year across one or two days including inside-out events, training days, talks and demonstrations. We're also very proud to hold our annual 2-day Regional Qualifier at our beautiful Redenham Park home grounds in Andover – with the kind permission of Lady Clark.
We are fully committed to maintaining our club to the standards and values it was founded upon and would like to welcome anyone to join us and help us ensure our club, the White Horse Harness Club, continues to grow and flourish long into the future.

Council election results: Conservatives make gains in Tayside and Central
The SNP has lost its overall majority on Dundee City Council after gains from the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.
It had held a majority of three, but is still the biggest party on the council.
The SNP now has 14 seats on the council compared to the 15 seats now held by the other parties and an independent candidate.
The SNP lost six seats on Angus Council, with the Conservatives gaining five.
Labour lost its only seat on Angus Council.
There remains no party with an overall majority on Falkirk Council, which was previously run by a Labour/Conservative/independent coalition.
Labour lost lost five seats on the council while the Conservatives gained five.
Labour now has nine seats on the council and the Conservatives have seven - the SNP lost one of its 13 seats.
How the BBC calculates the 2017 result
By BBC Scotland political editor Brian Taylor
Let's talk numbers - there have been boundary changes which mean that some comparisons are made with "notional" outcomes in 2012, the last time these councils were contested.
On that count, the SNP are notionally down by a fractional seven seats. However, in terms of absolute numbers, the Nationalists have ended up with more councillors than in 2012.
Plus the SNP are the largest party in Scotland's four largest cities - including Glasgow, where jubilant supporters attended their ousting of Labour. They have waited decades for that.
The SNP has become the largest party in Clackmannanshire Council, with the Conservatives making gains at the expense of Labour.
The SNP retains eight seats on the council, with Labour losing three of its eight seats and the Conservatives increasing their share from one seat to five.
All five wards in the local government election were declared shortly before 11:30.
Turnout in the election was 46.2%.
- Follow live coverage of Scottish local election results
- Labour loses overall control of Glasgow
- How councillors are elected in Scotland
A forthcoming meeting of the council will be held to form an administration and appoint office holders.
The SNP kept nine seats and Labour lost four as the Conservatives jumped to nine seats on Stirling Council, which had been a Labour/Conservative coalition.
The Tories gained five to draw level with the SNP in the election, which had a 53.3% turnout.
Labour dropped to four with the Greens keeping their seat.
In Perth and Kinross, the Conservatives gained seven seats and have taken over from the SNP as the biggest party on the council.
The Conservatives now have 17 councillors while the SNP, who had been the minority administration, dropped two to 15.
Labour dropped by three and the Lib Dems and independents lost one seat each.

Three Pope Francis Quotes
Being prophets may sometimes imply making waves. I do not know how to put it.... Prophecy makes noise, uproar, some say 'a mess.' But in reality, the charism of religious people is like yeast: prophecy announces the spirit of the Gospel."
"What I said in Rio referred to the time in which we seek God," he answers. "In fact, there is a temptation to seek God in the past or in a possible future. God is certainly in the past because we can see the footprints. And God is also in the future as a promise. But the 'concrete' God, so to speak, is today. For this reason, complaining never helps us find God. The complaints of today about how 'barbaric' the world is—these complaints sometimes end up giving birth within the church to desires to establish order in the sense of pure conservation, as a defense. No: God is to be encountered in the world of today.
"If the Christian is a restorationist, a legalist, if he wants everything clear and safe, then he will find nothing. Tradition and memory of the past must help us to have the courage to open up new areas to God. Those who today always look for disciplinarian solutions, those who long for an exaggerated doctrinal 'security,' those who stubbornly try to recover a past that no longer exists—they have a static and inward-directed view of things. In this way, faith becomes an ideology among other ideologies.

They went out . . . afraid
Today's guest post is by Mr. Chris Atkins, a friend of HGST, and a remarkable young man. He recently traveled to Uganda to minister to the good people there. Along the way he met some amazing people who testified to him of great courage against great odds.
"So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid" (Mark 16:8). At the end of Mark's Gospel the women feared; they knew not what to do. But they acted. We know this much. They said something to someone, and that someone said something to someone else. And here we are, reading this ancient text as part of our Christian Scripture, with this puzzling ending, still now. There may have been more to this Gospel, but there certainly was not any less; what we have is what we have, and that includes the fear of these women. This is no fairytale ending; it is just the beginning.
The women of whom I here write, however, are not Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome; the women of whom I here write are the women of Kampala, Uganda who fled, gripped by terror, who said nothing to anyone, afraid. This was their story for quite some time, but as with that ancient text, this was just the beginning. They did act, and they said something to someone.
These women each received astonishing news: they were pregnant. They were pregnant, and they were afraid. Afraid of what would happen next. Afraid of what did happen next. Each, after periods of deafening silence marked by inscrutable fear and pale perspicuity—at different stages in their lives—shared the news with the different men whom had impregnated them. Shunned. They were shunned. Then they each shared the news with their parents. Shamed. These young women were shamed. Ignored by the soon-to-be fathers of their children and ostracized by their own fathers, these women were alone without a home. Their silence had left them trembling, and now their speaking left them trembling.
These women are the women in the picture. They are the brave women who went on to give birth to their children—with the help, encouragement, and community provided by a pregnancy help center in Uganda—despite the pleas and pressures of those around them. This is no fairytale ending; it is just the beginning. The beginning of a new story. A new story of a new life. It is a story new, but I think so, too, old, for it is the story of women being entrusted with the most precious pearls of perpetuity, overcoming the most perennial perils of patriarchy. It is the story old, however cryptically untold.

The continual objective in metal-cutting manufacturing is to further increase productivity, creating added value for the customer. As a result, new and further development of machine tools and addition of optional extensions continue. Currently, the conventional potentials for productivity increases are thought to have been fully exploited. In terms of Industry 4.0, HELLER's approach is to enhance transparency of the current machine status, evaluating the information gained in combination with existing data to allow purposeful diagnostics. To achieve this, future machine functions will be combined with powerful data extraction amongst other measures.
By means of three modules HELLER illustrates the importance of ease of operation, customised workpiece manufacturing and enhanced evaluation of existing sensor data.
HELLER4Operation is an easy-to-use, operator-oriented user interface for HELLER machines. The use of touch controls at the tool/workpiece loading station enables fast and robust operation. In addition to the familiar Siemens standard operation, the new main operator panel allows execution of customer-specific programs from web environments. The 24" touch interface named HELLER Operation Interface can be upgraded with expansion programs, so-called Xtends, enhancing performance and functionality.
The second area, HELLER4Services, comprises digital services. The HELLER Services Interface focuses on transparency of manufacturing and maintenance processes. The module forms the basis for evaluations and statistics, thus providing support in reducing machine downtimes. Additionally, the visualisation of specific information, including status displays of axes, spindles or other assemblies, enables users to determine wear and to take preventive measures in order to avoid unscheduled downtimes.
The third area, HELLER4Performance, comprises the machine analysis for process and performance optimisation, time-synchronous extraction of real-time data into the internet as well as evaluation and graphical display, e.g. using the SAP-HANA internet platform. Together with SAP, HELLER demonstrates the specific benefits of this online streaming function with the mapping of a CAD-designed 3-D workpiece in a cloud. This enables precise representation of the tool (paths including tolerances) in which tool wear is expected. Subsequently, the workpiece program is run on the machine. The data generated is directly transferred to the cloud. This way the paths to be traversed by the machine/tool can be pre-assessed on the basis of the workpiece design prior to machining to see whether the machine will be able to perform the operation.
The example of tool provisioning shows how further savings can be achieved with HELLER4Industry by linking the digital and the real world. Usually, tool magazines are loaded in a way to provide optimal storage capacity. Often, however, the tool access sequence differs from the sequence of the machining operations. It means that the distance from the tool to the spindle has a significant influence on the duration of the tool change. To reduce these unproductive times, the stock of workpieces to be optimised can be selected from the pallet management and be transferred to the cloud along with the details. This way, both the tool change times and the tool idle times can be analysed and evaluated in view of the sorting order, providing the shortest idle times for the given workpiece and the machining operation. Subsequently, HELLER generates the CNC program for re-sorting in the cloud and provides it to the machine for re-sorting of the tool magazine.
In terms of Industry 4.0, HELLER is also focusing on a further increase in machine productivity and the support of consistent engineering chains. Core aspects to achieve this are supplementary machine functions, on-demand services and enhanced service capabilities. Essential for this are new industry standards in terms of data exchange and data security as well as standardised interfaces. HELLER is accelerating the evaluation of existing machine sensors and supports network integration of the machines, using services on network computers. However, for digitisation it is important to develop data recording mechanisms capable of generating a real-life image of the machine and mapping it within a network, either in the customer-internal private cloud or in an internet-based public cloud.
For HELLER, the aim of all considerations, possibilities and solutions remains the reduction of cycle times, and thus per-piece costs, by providing high productivity. Already today, HELLER achieves the goal of generating added value for the customer through greater ease of use, optimal integration into the network and expanded functionalities and service possibilities.
Already in 2006, Mercedes-Benz began using the newly developed twin-wire arc spraying technology for the 6.3L V8 AMG engines. In 2011, the process was integrated into series production of the Mercedes V6 engines. Then in 2012, the companies Gebr. Heller Maschinenfabrik GmbH in Nürtingen and Daimler AG decided to industrialise the technology and all steps of the process. Meanwhile, the process Daimler named NANOSLIDE® is not only used in series manufacturing but has also found its way into the F1 champion's extremely successful car, the Mercedes-Benz PU 106A Hybrid.
When evaluating the efficiency of a vehicle, drivers are paying closer attention to fuel consumption now. For a number of reasons, CO2 emissions are becoming more and more important as a factor, since they also form the basis for emission limits and subsidy programmes. As a result, the automotive industry is focusing on weight reduction measures and downsizing. Today, the efficiency of a motor vehicle can be increased in various ways.
The quality of the cylinder surfaces, for example, has a major influence on the consumption of combustion engines. After all, surface hardness, roughness and texture are not only the determining factors for fuel consumption but also the performance characteristics of the engine. Up to 25 percent of fuel energy in the part-load operational range is required to overcome the engine's internal friction.
To reduce frictional losses on cylinder surfaces, Daimler AG developed an innovative thermal spraying technology that received several national and international awards, enabling the coating of cylinder bores of aluminium lightweight crank-cases for car engines using twin-arc spraying. To generate the NANOSLIDE® surface, the molten material is sprayed onto the cylinder wall by means of a gas flow and deposited as a layered, ultrafine to nano-crystalline coating. Subsequently, the NANOSLIDE® coating is smoothed to an extremely high degree in a specially developed mirror honing process, which gives a thickness of only 0.1 to 0.15 millimetres and a surface that is almost like a mirror. The honing process also exposes pores in the material, which are able to retain oil and help optimise lubrication of the piston assembly. All in all, the process enables to reduce mechanical friction loss by up to 50 percent whilst providing extremely high wear resistance.
Although the coating process is considered extremely cost-effective and technologically superior, quality-determining parameters such as current, voltage, wire feed and process gas flow need to be carefully adjusted and matched to the coating procedure.
In 2012, Gebr. Heller Maschinenfabrik GmbH in Nürtingen and Daimler AG established a successful cooperation for the further industrialisation of the process. The goal for HELLER was to industrialise all steps of the process and to develop it into a dependable application for the global markets under the name of HELLER CBC (CylinderBoreCoating)CBC coating process (CylinderBoreCoating) based on a global network of systems and services for the complete process chain of crankcase manufacturing.
In the same year, HELLER gave the go-ahead with the official opening of the HELLER CBC TechnologyCenter at the company's headquarters in Nürtingen during the Automotive Dialog 2012 and started with the coating of customer-specific prototypes. Initially, the process was used for exclusive small-batch series. With the entry into mid-sized batch production, a viable alternative to existing liner technology was born. The production rules and criteria for the automotive industry had been fulfilled and thus the preconditions for high-volume production.
To implement this next step, market-oriented solutions in terms of system supply and services were required. In 2013, Mercedes-Benz introduced NANOSLIDE® to the US market for the turbocharged V6 spark-ignition engines in the context of the BlueEFFICIENCY technologies. NANOSLIDE® helps to reduce engine weight by several kilogrammes and reduces fuel consumption by up to three percent by eliminating the need for thick grey cast iron liners used in the predecessor engine.
Meanwhile the technology is also used for the latest generation of 4-cylinder and 8-cylinder engines of Mercedes-AMG. In 2013, HELLER commissioned enhanced manufacturing systems and integrated the process, including the process steps for pre- and finish-machining, into the process chain of engine production, whilst ensuring the necessary high degree of process quality and dependability.
In 2013, HELLER and Daimler received the German Innovation Award for Climate and Environment in the category "Process Innovations for Climate Protection". In 2014, NANOSLIDE® received an award from US trade journal R&D Magazine, the so-called Oscar of Invention, naming it one of the most important high-tech products. Today, the two partners see this as another award for a technology that has also had a share in winning the first F1 Constructor's Championship and the Drivers' Championship in 2014. NANOSLIDE® also realises its full potential in the V6 turbo engine of the current world champion's car, the Mercedes-Benz PU 106A Hybrid.
By means of twin-wire arc spraying technology the cylinder surfaces in the aluminium crankcases are coated with an extremely thin layer based on an iron-carbon alloy. The result is a very wear-resistant nano to ultrafine material structure with micropores, ensuring lubrication during operation. As a result, heavy grey cast iron liners in the aluminium crankcases that can be several millimetres thick are eliminated. The result is a surface as smooth as glass, providing up to 50 percent less friction between piston, piston rings and cylinder surface and a weight reduction of several kilogrammes. Meanwhile, the process incorporates numerous inventions and ideas and is protected by more than 90 patent families and more than 40 patents.
Shortening the process chain with the ›smart technology mix‹ from HELLER can create enormous application-specific potential. In this interview, Managing Director Christian Pfleiderer talks about maximising customer value through optimal ›Lifetime Productivity‹ of HELLER machines.
CP: All the standard models in the HELLER machine range are already equipped for numerous standard technologies and processes. And the machines are designed to allow other technologies to be integrated without major additional effort. HELLER divides the technologies into two categories.
First the primary technologies, which are within the mainstream. All models enable milling, boring and tapping and, with the C series mill/turning centres, also turning. Then there are non-mainstream technologies, such as reaming, deep-hole drilling, facing and interpolation turning, which are likewise part of the standard module, as well as special technologies, including shaping, gear cutting, honing and grinding, which are tailored specifically to the customer's needs. As a preferred solution provider, HELLER wants to offer the optimal process every time. This is based on the recognised strengths of HELLER's universal machines - productivity, stability, reliability, availability and precision.
If the customer or the application requires additional technologies to be integrated, HELLER can achieve this, following a detailed examination of technical feasibility, flexibly, swiftly and without any overengineering - even at a later time. The focus is always on per-piece costs, machining quality and process reliability.
CP: Basically, there are two different scenarios: first, the customer already has one or more HELLER products and is confronted with various requirements. This can happen as part of the continuous improvement process, where process chains and throughput times have to be shortened. Or the customer has received a major order, the per-piece costs of which could be reduced by integrating another process. Or it can be about replacing machines with other technologies, and the idea of cost-effectively integrating processes on the HELLER machine instead of buying a new one. These are just a few of the situations we encounter.
Application engineering then reviews the viability of retrospective process integration, allowing for the fact that the customer is meant to be familiar with this technology already. Secondly, the customer presents us with a specific application, where integration of a non-mainstream technology appears to make sense in terms of both quality and per-piece costs.
Whichever scenario, HELLER has a wealth of application engineering experience for providing the customer with an optimal machine and process solution, also in the form of a multitasking concept. HELLER deliberately speaks of a ›smart technology mix‹. For a complete machining operation, the customer pays only for what is actually required. As a result, a very efficient and direct return on the additional investment can be achieved.
CP: Generally speaking: when a HELLER machine is shipped to the customer, the control software required for efficient programming and production is integrated onboard. In some cases, this includes cycles developed by HELLER for grinding complex contours such as control curves, for example. With the C series mill/turning centres, HELLER has implemented not only all cycles for turning, but also a proprietary balancing cycle for reliable workpiece clamping into the control's user interface. Then there is the comprehensive range of aftersales services which permits universal machines to be retrofitted at a later time. The best example here is the HELLER out-facing head system, which allows the customer to apply more efficient machining strategies for producing complex contours.
CP: This aspect is very important for the customer as part of an investment decision made for a particular situation and no less important for HELLER in terms of a certain technological uniqueness. HELLER purposely makes the ›Lifetime Productivity‹ of its machines a subject of discussion.
For two reasons: many customers certify HELLER machines as providing longer productivity than the competition. This requires in turn that HELLER remains a partner to its customers over the machine's entire service life, so that the machine can be modified to suit changed framework conditions. The numerous optimisation and upgrade packages available constitute an essential element of the HELLER philosophy.
The robust mechanical construction of HELLER machines guarantees long-term precision far beyond the depreciation period. However, after a service life of many operating hours, a machine tool's production performance and precision often no longer satisfy current requirements.
With HELLER Retrofit, HELLER Services offers an original factory overhaul to restore our customers' existing machines to state-of-the-art condition.

New Zealand is a small and remote country, with a stunning range of environments and ecosystems from verdant vineyards in wine country to towering glaciers. Because of the distance from almost any other country and the expense getting there entails, it is important to choose what kind of trip you want before travel begins to ensure that it is memorable.
New Zealand is home to over a dozen specific wine regions, throughout both the North and South Islands. The country is famed for Sauvignon Blanc but the Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays and Merlots produced in New Zealand garner international awards as well. Most New Zealand wineries are open to the public for tours and tasting in a very welcoming and unintimidating way. Visiting various wine regions can be done as self-driving tours, bus trips or even cycling tours between wineries for those looking to combine fitness with their tasting. Wine regions on the North Island include Northland, Auckland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty, Hawke's Bay, Gisborne, and Wellington, while on the South Island
Nelson, Marlborough, Canterbury, Otago, Wanaka, and Queenstown are the places to visit.
The first commercial bungee jumping operation in the world was on the Kawarau Bridge near Queenstown on the South Island of New Zealand in 1998. It continues to be an international destination for travelers seeking to add a little death defying fun to their vacations. Adreneline junkies come to the area around Queenstown to bungee, white-water raft, off-road on quad bikes, paintball and go zorbing, which entails sliding into an enormous clear ball and being pushed down a very large hill.
The striking scenery made world famous by the Lord of the Rings films is a spectacular backdrop for hiking trips. Parks with hiking trails suitable for all age and fitness levels are plentiful throughout both the North and South Island but some of the most famous routes are the Milford Track through New Zealand's wild fiord country, the Routeburn track which passes through two national parks, the Tongariro Crossing over a volcanic plateau and the Abel Tasman track which runs along beaches, through estuaries and into native forests.

Our uniquely engaging venues set amid a scenic wonderland provides the perfect backdrop. And our seasoned wedding planners are ready with the latest trends for 2019 to help plan your perfect wedding on California's central coast. Taking the cake on that list are shifts in designing floral arrangements, from bridal bouquets to table centerpieces. Choosing the perfect wedding flowers in Cambria is a magical experience, and with several local nurseries and florists nearby, your big day will be in good hands. Influenced by the season, location, personal style, and signature colors, flower trends for 2019 are ever-changing. Last years muted tones and blushes are now being exchanged with vibrant pops of color with flowers that are expressive and bold. Look out for bright oranges, reds, and jewel tones that burn anew in upcoming wedding flower trends. All white displays will never go out of style but adding these striking colors to the mix will add a visual element to capture attention. Try using a color palette instead of perfectly matching by combining different textures and shades of a hue for a more refined look. You can also expect to see more rustic displays with natural plants blended in bouquets and arrangements. Eucalyptus and overflowing greenery bring a romantic and elegant flair, while mismatched bouquets are becoming increasingly popular. Unique blooms such as succulents are upon the upcoming trends for table decor and centerpieces, while floral architecture and statement pieces will be larger than life. Expect to see flower walls and hanging installations, perfect for creating the ultimate photo booth and Instagram-worthy moments. Finding the right flowers and arrangements for your special day should be a fun, sensory experience, as the flowers will set the scene. Make sure to visit the local florist and nursery for visual cues, hands-on experience, and a first-hand look at what your wedding day could look like. Located under a half-mile from Cambria Pines Lodge, the Cambria Nursery and Florist offers a full-service flower shop with a vast selection of flowering plants, orchids, cut roses, and unique flowers grown in this region. Their expert florists can handle complete floral arrangements for the wedding ceremony, reception, and rehearsal dinner, and will help to create the wedding bouquets, table centerpieces, boutonnieres, and corsages that match your dreams.

I wasn't there for their wedding, but was very flattered when they asked me for this session so they could add my photos to their album. It was a gorgeous fall day and I was stoked when the sun peeked through the trees and I was able to get some really great portraits! I was joined by the lovely and talented make-up artist Liz Washer for this shoot! :) Happy anniversary Elizabeth and Dan!! ~ Mattion

Essence bestselling author concludes her popular streetwise trilogy with a sizzling novel about a female drug cartel with a growing empire—and a growing list of ruthless rivals
With the publication of her debut novel, Little Ghetto Girl, Danielle Santiago attracted the attention of reviewers and readers alike by her uncanny ability to weave a realistic, spellbinding story about the gritty streets of Harlem. When the book became an Essence magazine #1 bestseller, Santiago's status as a reigning queen of urban lit was solidified and when her second book, Grindin' was published, fans couldn't get enough of her take-no-prisoners female characters who were sexy, strong and lived life on their own terms.
Now with ALLURE OF THE GAME (Atria Paperback – May 24, 2011; $14), the highly anticipated third installment in her page-turning trilogy, Santiago does not disappoint with an action-packed, suspenseful tale of a female drug cartel maneuvering within an ever-expanding empire. Although Kisa "Kane" Montega of Little Ghetto Girl and her cousin Kennedy Sanchez of Grindin' now have beautiful families and have built successful lives in legitimate businesses, each is drawn back to the dangerous game they thought they'd left long behind.
Arnessa Binds is forced to fend for herself and her younger sister, Cenise, when their mentally ill mother abandons them. Smart and ambitious, Arnessa puts her college dreams on hold and resorts to hustling to put food on the table. Although she starts out as a low-level drug runner and mule, Arnessa's business savvy emerges and soon she is controlling several corners in Harlem and Baltimore. Through a connection, she is introduced to the handsome and charismatic Butta who shows her a thing or two about the trade. Soon, they are romantically involved and through Butta, Arnessa meets Butta's brother, Sincere, his wife Kane, and Kane's cousin Kennedy. Kane and Kennedy like Arnessa immediately and all quickly realize that together, they will be a force to be reckoned with on the streets. But before Arnessa joined forces with Kane and Kennedy, she made a deadly enemy in Suef, a sadistic drug lord to whom she refused to relinquish her turf. Now, Suef wants revenge on Arnessa and because she is too quick and elusive for him, Suef decides to target those people Arnessa loves most: Cenise and Butta. As luck would have it, Suef's main squeeze, Rellie, also has a beef with Kane and before long, the streets of uptown explode in a series of violent retaliations. Arnessa, Kane and Kennedy have everything they have ever wanted and yet, they are experiencing the most turbulent and trying time of their lives, with no promise at all they'll prevail over their enemies.
With surprising plot twists, a rapid-fire pace and a satisfying ending, ALLURE OF THE GAME is certain to please Danielle Santiago's loyal fan base and gain her legions of new readers.
Danielle Santiago is the author of Grindin' and Little Ghetto Girl and founder of the Mischievous Girls Foundation, which is dedicated to helping battered women and inner city girls. She lives in Harlem and Charlotte with her husband, son and daughter.

Cut off the head, Corbyn, the posited enabler of Antisemites, so that New Labour's sycophants, i.e. Blair clones of Thatcherites, can regain control of the Party. Take your cue from Strauss, and his political ally/confederate Carl Schmitt: sow the seeds of political rancor and hate, masquerading as political virtue, bound together by myth making or just plain lies. After all Isaiah Berlin set the standards for 'Liberalism's probity and directness! But be chastened by the singular idea of Schmitt's, that the world is divided between friends and enemies. In practice Mr.Berlin's conformist sensibility made him a natural follower of Schmitt.
David Caute and Tariq Ali both provide some useful insights into the exercise of Mr. Berlin's Liberalism, in situ.

United States Department of the Interior - National Park Service, U.S. Government
End of Watch Wednesday, March 9, 1960Add to My Heroes
John C. Fonda
Park Ranger John Fonda and District Ranger Gale Wilcox, along with the Assistant Chief Ranger, were on back country patrol on cross-country skis in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. The three came upon the Snake River, which had frozen over, and judged that it was safe to cross. The Assistant Chief Ranger began to cross first, followed by Ranger Wilcox and Ranger Fonda.
Ranger Fonda had made it only 15-feet from shore when the ice broke and he fell into the river. Ranger Wilcox, who could not swim, immediately belly-crawled to Ranger Fonda's position to try to reach him with ski pole. The Assistant Chief Ranger also went to the location to help also. The ice then cracked and the other two rangers fell into the river. The Assistant Chief Ranger was able to remove his skis and then tried to remove the skis of the other rangers but was unsuccessful. He then climbed out of the water. He was able to pull Ranger Wilcox out of the water but Ranger Fonda, who was still treading water with his skis on, went under and did not resurface.
Ranger Wilcox was suffering from severe hypothermia and was unable to move or speak. The Assistant Chief Ranger, who was also suffering from hypothermia, immediately set out for the nearest ranger station to radio for help and medical supplies. When rescue workers arrived at the scene they found that Ranger Wilcox had passed away from exposure.
Ranger Wilcox was posthumously awarded a Citation of Valor from the Department of the Interior and the Bronze Medal from the Carnegie Hero Commission for his efforts to save Ranger Fonda. The Assistant Chief Ranger was also awarded the Citation of Valor.
Ranger Fonda was a Korean War veteran. He had been a full time ranger for the Park Service for two years and had served as a seasonal ranger for six years. He was survived by his wife and daughter. His daughter is now a U.S. Marshal.

Where do interactions come from in an organizing system?
Interactions arise naturally from the affordances of resources or are purposefully designed into organizing systems.
(See §9.1, "Introduction")
What are the most common interactions with resources in organizing systems?
Accessing and merging resources are fundamental interactions that occur in almost every organizing system.
(See §9.1, "Introduction")
What factors distinguish interactions?
User requirements, which layer of resource properties is used, and the legal, social and organizational environment can distinguish interactions.
What prevents people from making perfectly rational decisions?
Limited memory and attention capacities prevent people from remembering everything and make them unable to consider more than a few things or choices at once.
Behavioral economics can sometimes produce better classifications and choices, but what are the possible downsides of its use in design?
The principles of behavioral economics can be used to design organizing systems that manipulate people into taking actions and making choices that they might not intend or that are not in their best interests.

"A Mediterranean diet may be a better way of tackling obesity than calorie counting, leading doctors have said," BBC News reports.
In a recently published editorial, they also argue the NHS should do more to encourage its staff to eat more healthily.
As this was an editorial, and not new evidence, it cannot prove the Mediterranean diet, which is characterised by vegetables, fruits, beans, whole grains, olive oil and fish, is "best". But the article does raise some interesting points.
They argue that the obesity epidemic is intrinsically linked to an unhealthy food environment – one in which easy access to cheap, high-energy, nutrient-poor junk food promotes poor choice by default.
Doctors cannot just issue calorie control and exercise advice ("eat less, move more"), but need to encourage healthier eating overall. The Mediterranean diet has been linked to improved cardiovascular health, as we discussed in 2013.
The authors also point out the need to promote healthy eating within the NHS – for example, providing healthy meal options for both patients and staff.
That way, healthcare professionals can inform patients and the public about how diet can improve health by leading by example.
Where does the story come from?
The story follows an editorial published in the peer-reviewed Post Graduate Medical Journal. It was authored by three professionals with affiliations to Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey, the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges in London, and NHS England. The authors declare no conflicts of interest.
The authors discuss the current obesity epidemic and the effect that different approaches can have on this, referencing various publications.
They do not provide any methods for identifying the various studies they reference, and this does not appear to be a systematic review.
It is not known whether all the literature relevant to the issue of healthy eating has been considered.
Therefore, this editorial must be considered as the views and opinions of the authors based on their knowledge of the literature and expert opinion. We do not know whether another systematic review of the subject would reach the same conclusions.
What do the researchers say about the obesity problem?
The researchers explain how the obesity epidemic currently costs the NHS about £6 billion a year, while obesity-related diseases such as diabetes cost even more.
Our diet is a powerful determinant of our weight and health. However, as the authors consider, the decisions that we make about the food we buy is often made without full conscious awareness, and we can be seduced by the brightly coloured packaging of confectionery at the till.
The authors discuss foods that have been the particular focus of attention in trying to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Fruit, vegetables, nuts, olive oil and oily fish – common in Mediterranean cuisine – contain α-linoleic acid, polyphenols and omega-3 fatty acids, which are believed to reduce inflammation and the formation of fatty blood clots in the arteries. This reduces the risk of heart diseases, such as heart attacks.
The researchers say it's estimated that increasing the world's consumption of fruit and vegetables by one portion a day, and nuts by two servings a day, would prevent 5.2 million cardiovascular deaths worldwide within a year.
It is also estimated that reducing people's sugary drink consumption by 15% would, within a year, prevent 180,000 people from becoming obese in the UK, and save the NHS £275 million.
The researchers say real progress will only be made when "the need for a healthier food environment" is understood. As they say, collective action is needed so that an individual's choices about what to eat default to healthy options rather than junk food: "healthy choice must be the easy choice".
There is currently an oversupply of cheap, high-energy, nutrient-poor food, such as confectionery, crisps and sugary drinks, in vending machines, food trollies and food outlets in NHS hospitals – the places that should be promoting positive healthy messages.
Not only does this impact on the choice of patients and visitors, but also NHS staff – half of whom are estimated to be overweight or obese.
As the researchers also consider, the effects of regular physical activity will be undermined if someone has a poor diet: "you can't outrun a bad diet".
What do they say about specific diets?
The researchers discuss "weight cycling" – rapid loss and regain – and how this has been associated with high blood pressure, poor blood sugar and blood fat control, and poor overall cardiovascular outcomes.
US research shows most people on rapid diets regain most of their lost weight, and two-thirds do not gain any health benefit.
In contrast, they discuss one trial that randomised 7,500 high-risk adults to either the Mediterranean diet (41% total fat, supplemented with extra virgin olive oil or nuts) or low-fat dietary advice.
They report the Mediterranean diet was associated with a 30% reduction in major cardiovascular disease events within three months.
It is unclear how this effect was calculated and whether it was compared with the low-fat group. The researchers report these reductions in cardiovascular disease risk were irrespective of weight.
They also report another study, which showed how adopting a Mediterranean diet after a heart attack is almost three times as effective as a statin at reducing mortality.
The researchers also mention another trial, which found an energy-unrestricted, high-fat, low-refined carbohydrate diet (restricting carbohydrates without fibre) resulted in more weight loss and a better blood fat profile one year later when compared with a low-fat diet.
What suggestions to the authors make?
The researchers suggest that introducing evidence-based nutrition into the training of doctors and nurses would increase their understanding of the science of healthy eating, and also allow better-informed nutrition discussion between health professionals and patients.
They also say the NHS as an employer is in a key position to set a national example by supporting 1.4 million staff to stay healthy and serve as "health ambassadors" in their local communities.
The researchers say it is time to get across the evidence base that healthy dietary change rapidly improves outcomes, and put this into the heart of the NHS.
They report the key recommendations of the "Five Year Forward View" published by NHS England and partner organisations in October 2014, which set out a vision for the future of the NHS:
- Make information about the evidence base for healthy diets easily available to NHS staff and patients.
- NHS employers to implement the Workplace Wellbeing Charter and require commissioners to consider this when assessing tenders.
- Implement National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance on promoting healthy workplaces throughout the NHS.
- Reduce access to processed foods high in fat, salt and sugar on NHS premises.
- Provide healthy diet options for all staff, including night staff.
- Call for NHS institutions to objectively monitor and publish sales and quantities of foods deemed unhealthy, in addition to the degree of adherence to national food standards.
The focus of this research is on changing the dietary environment to a healthy rather than an unhealthy one, particularly within the NHS.
The media has focused on the Mediterranean diet, but this is not the sole focus of the study. Reports on the Mediterranean diet come from two brief references to two trials within the editorial.
From the information provided in this editorial alone, it is not possible to comment on the reliability and comprehensiveness of all the information provided.
As stated, this does not appear to be a systematic review. Therefore, without knowing the methods the researchers used, it's not possible to say whether all the relevant evidence relating to the issue of healthy eating has been considered.
With only examples of a few dietary trials discussed, we do not know whether all the evidence relevant to the comparative effectiveness of different dietary approaches (for example, Mediterranean versus low fat) has been examined.
Without looking at the individual studies behind the data in this editorial, it is also not possible to review how accurate and reliable the effectiveness data and estimates are likely to be, or how they were calculated – for example, estimates on reduction of cardiovascular deaths and obesity with specific alterations to food intake.
Nevertheless, the overall message of this editorial – to make the dietary environment a healthier one – is sensible and consistent with recommendations made by other health organisations.

Southampton (United States) (AFP) – Brooks Koepka was practically the last name on anyone's lips at the 118th US Open on Thursday — but that didn't matter when he hoisted the trophy for a second straight year on Sunday.
"I always feel like I'm overlooked. It doesn't bug me. I just keep doing what I'm doing, keep plugging away," said Koepka, who despite his defending champion status was flying under the radar at Shinnecock Hills, where Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, world number one Dustin Johnson and multiple major winner Rory McIlroy were generating pre-tournament buzz.
Some thought Koepka's US Open triumph at Erin Hills last year was an anomaly — coming on a non-traditional championship venue where the wide-open fairways were easy pickings for a long-hitter like Koepka.
And since his major breakthrough the 28-year-old had missed almost four months — including the Masters in April — with a partially torn ligament in his left wrist.
There's no doubt now, however, that Koepka is back, and he has proved his major mettle on the toughest test the US Open can offer.
After four grinding days at Shinnecock Hills — which first hosted a US Open in the 19th century — it was Koepka who topped the leaderboard with a one-over par total.
Woods and McIlroy were long gone by then — missing the halfway cut.
Johnson, masterful in building a four-stroke lead through 36 holes, came back to the field during the brutal third round — when Mickelson underscored his irrelevance with a silly rules infraction.
As Koepka emerged from a tightly bunched field on Sunday, Johnson simply couldn't keep pace.
Even Tommy Fleetwood with a stunning 63 couldn't run Koepka down.
"I don't want to say I didn't think I could do it, but I knew that it was going to be that much more difficult," Koepka said of winning a second major.
"It's much more gratifying the second time. I can really appreciate how hard it is to win a major, and to win back-to-back is special."
– 'Got to be competing' –
Koepka, who has now finished 14th or better — with two wins — in nine of his last 10 major starts, was running hot with a streak of eight straight US PGA Tour top-20 finishes when his wrist injury sidelined him.
"I didn't miss it until I knew I wasn't going to be at Augusta," he said. "When I knew I wasn't going to be at Augusta, probably about a week before, I really did miss it.
"I missed the preparation. I miss competing. I've got to be competing at something. It doesn't matter what it is. I just feel like I need to be out grinding."
He has barely missed a beat in his return, finishing tied for 11th at the Players Championship last month and runner-up at the Fort Worth Invitational with three rounds of 67 or better as he warmed up for his title defense.
Now that he's a multiple major winner, Koepka — who jumped from ninth to fourth in the world golf rankings with his win — is unlikely to be flying under the radar when any major comes around.
"A US Open is always going to be a tough test," he said. "The Open Championship I think suits (my game) very well, and we always seem to play good at the PGA.
"The only one I haven't figure out is Augusta — hopefully I'll figure that one out soon."

There are some new spy photograpgs of the 2015 Audi Q7 which will be the replacement for the SUV which is the largest Audi currently on offer. The Q7 will be joined by a Q8 so that there can be a bigger range of 4×4 vehicles so that the company can help to fill some of the increasing demand for this type of car.
The pictures show that the Q7 will pretty much be the same as previous models. Although a big SUV can be too big for the crowded roads in the UK it is aimed at the US and eastern markets where there is a huge demand for large cars. This means that it is likely to have three rows of seats in it. The new car is on the MLBevo architecture which it will share with the Bentley Falcon SUV and new Porsche and VW SUV's/. The Q7 is unique in that it offers no petrol engine options and it is expected that the new model will also be the same. However, there will be a hybrid version coming in the future which will have a petrol V6 and a plug in hybrid. This means that it will be able to move very quietly in the urban setting and therefore be useful for the school fun.
The Q8 model will also be added to the range and this is exciting for fans. This is expected to be a more dynamic vehicle as the odd and even numbers seem to have a key with even numbered models being more dynamic. It looks like the vehicle will come out in time to compete with the new Mercedes MLC and BMW X6 and X4. It is due in 2017 and it is expected to be the best car in the Q range. It is thought that the reason that they went for this rather than a Q flagship or an A9 is because it is more marketable this way and it is expected that this will be better able to help them compete with their closest rivals.
It is expected that there will be an SQ7 and SQ8 arriving in the future perhaps and there could even be a 5.0 litre V10 or perhaps the V8 engine inside them to help them to reach 408bhp and 664 lb/ft torque.

Our Managing Editor and staff give some love to Music Box on its 90th birthday.
"The Beaver" is almost successful, despite the premise of its screenplay, which I was simply unable to accept. I concede it is possible that a man in depression might be able to heal himself by projecting his personality into a hand puppet. I am not sure it is possible, or even advisable, to make a serious movie about that. We go through the movie with Mel Gibson wearing a toothy beaver on his left hand, and that creates a whole lot of disbelief for us to suspend.
Yet here is another of Mel Gibson's fine performances, a reminder that he is after all a superb actor. His personal life is in ruins because of the disease of alcoholism, which he is still struggling with. Though he's responsible for his outrageous acts and statements, I think this is not the good man I have met many times. From what I know about alcoholism, I believe he goes through personality changes, that he is content on some days and consumed by rage and madness on others, and that such changes are symptoms of the disease. Make your own diagnosis.
It took some courage on the part of Jodie Foster to direct this film. I believes she knows Gibson's good side and respects his talent. He was certainly the right choice for this material. All of his troubles through recent years are summed up by her opening shot, of an exhausted man floating on a raft in a swimming pool, his arms wide like the crucified Christ. A voice (later revealed to be the Beaver's) informs us this is Walter Black, a man so deep in depression, he has alienated his family and nearly destroyed his business.
We meet his much-suffering wife Meredith (Jodie Foster), his resentful son Porter (Anton Yelchin) and his disbelieving colleagues. Meredith finally throws him out, not without love. He buys a bottle, checks into a motel, tries to kill himself and is interrupted by the hand puppet. Finding that the puppet has a voice of its own, he allows it to speak for him, and begins to re-enter his life.
Foster, Gibson and writer Kyle Killen make not the slightest attempt to employ the illusion of ventriloquism; Gibson manipulates the puppet and speaks from his own mouth, in an admirable if inexplicable Cockney accent.
His life improves in ways I leave for you to discover. I also leave you to wonder if Matt Lauer on a real "Today" program would chat with a hand puppet quite as he does here. A parallel plot involves Porter, the son, whose gift is to write papers for classmates that read as if they were written by those students themselves. The class valedictorian asks him to write her speech. If she's that smart, why can't she write it herself? She's going through problems, which Porter will discover in a side story that tends to lead us, however interestingly, away from the film's throughline.
What sort of movie would have resulted with the same characters but not the Beaver? We will never know. But without "The Beaver," we would never have witnessed a sexual threesome involving a hand puppet. Foster and Gibson must have gone through some serious times while making this film, but don't you suppose that while filming that sex scene they had to suppress the urge to giggle?
That is the fatal flaw in this sincere endeavor. As good as Gibson is, his character is still caught between the tragedy of the man and the absurdity of the Beaver. Fugitive thoughts of Señor Wences crept into my mind. I'm sorry, but they did.
A nightmare movie ruled by nightmare logic, and gorgeous from start to finish.

|I'm standing in the middle of Michigan Ave.
I knew the weathermen had warned us that a snow storm of 'life threatening' possibilities was heading our way. But the news tends to be like The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Every year we have THE BIG ONE '09 or THIS IS IT '08 etc. but usually they turn out to be over-hyped and we get no more than a few inches. This time, the weathermen got it right. We got more than 20 inches!
On Tuesday I left work at 230p to beat the coming storm. So much for that. It took me an hour and 10 minutes of waiting outside in the cold just to find a way home. I thought that was bad, until I got home and heard people were trapped on Lake Shore Drive, some for 6+ hours. Some people even ditched their cars. People in Chicago are used to snow so to actually get a snow day, or in some cases, two consecutive snow days, you know it actually must be pretty bad.
It was strange to be home from work on a Wednesday. It was even more strange when there was lightning and thunder in the middle of a blizzard. Not currently residing in Chicago? You probably don't believe that can happen. You are probably saying, lightning while it is snowing? Thunder in winter? Not possible. Well, I didn't believe it either until last night. It is one crazy phenomenon.
Yesterday afternoon when I thought it had stopped snowing I decided to go out and take some pictures. Enjoy!

The Chief and Night lead and another person at my work are being mean to me and The other workers. They are giving us to much work to do.
Myself, The Night lead and the Other worker said I did not do the work they ask me to do. My work has cameras. They did not look at them to see If I did the work. The Other worker called me a lier. I did the work the best that I could do. It was not all cleaned up. People can not do this to each other, and They can not call each other liers. This is not right. Stres is making me for get how to do my job. Picking on me is not right.

He's not happy is he?
CNN reports the Republican race is between McCain and Romney. Now it is up to Super Duper Tuesday. Will the Republicans choose the Mormon flip flopper or the Republican-lite both of whom have similar policies of a little less government in some areas, and a little more in others?
Should I simply not care anymore?
Well since the "Change we can believe in" site requires me to effectively register, to find out what Obama wants to do, I had to go to Hillary "my entitlement to rule you" Clinton's site. I find she believes in restricting freedom of speech, subsidising families, nationalise parenting and early childhood education, more farming subsidies, massively subsidise the energy sector, strengthen unions somehow, demand all Americans pay their fair share (for what?), and finally be softly softly on the Iranian backed insurgency in Iraq as she wants to "work to convince Iraq's neighbors to refrain from getting involved in the civil war".
OK, that's enough reasons to want her NOT elected, shame the Republicans don't give me any reason to be excited about them more than that.
