The Grass Harp1996 Drama | Comedy | Family
Based on the novel by Truman Capote, this often-witty coming-of-age drama looks at a young man growing up with an unusual family in the Deep South in the 1940s. After the death of his parents, Collin Fenwick (Edward Furlong) finds himself living in a small town with two of his aunts, Dolly (Piper Laurie) and Verena (Sissy Spacek). Verena is the more stable of the two, an entrepreneur who controls a number of local businesses and rules the roost with a firm hand. Dolly, on the other hand, is a gentle eccentric who claims to hear the voices of the dead as the wind whistles through the grass, and has developed a homemade concoction that supposedly cures dropsy. Dolly's potion attracts the attention of Morris Ritz (Jack Lemmon), a smooth-talking con man from Chicago who wants to snatch the formula away from her. Along the way, Collin also gets to know Catherine (Nell Carter), Verena and Dolly's quick-witted house maid; Amos (Roddy McDowall), a barber who is also the town's one-man rumor mill; Charlie Cool (Walter Matthau), a charmingly cynical retired judge with an opinion about everything; and Sister Ida (Mary Steenburgen), an accordion-toting traveling evangelist who has had a heroic brood of 13 children without benefit of marriage. The Grass Harp was directed by Charles Matthau, the son of Walter Matthau.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Three crew members and two passengers were injured, United Airlines spokesman Luke Punzenberger told The Denver Post (http://bit.ly/1fuGKPO ). The captain declared a medical emergency as the Boeing 737 approached Billings, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor told the Billings Gazette.
Flight 1676 left Denver International Airport around noon and landed without incident just before 1:30 p.m. at Billings Logan International Airport, Gregor and the airline said.
One flight attendant remained in the hospital late Monday, Punzenberger said. He says 114 passengers and five crew members were aboard.
Passenger Joe Frank, 20, told The Denver Post in an email that the plane dropped violently and he heard a loud bang. He said a baby was propelled out of a parent's arms and landed in a seat nearby, but the infant didn't appear to be hurt.
"I didn't have my seat belt on, so I hit my head pretty hard but what hurts is my lower back and hips," he told the newspaper. He said he was heading from a visit to Texas back home to Billings.
Emergency crews and the Billings airport fire department responded.

CHICAGO (June 12, 2014) – Appraisers should understand and correctly use methods and techniques employed by investors to determine the value of restaurants, according to an article published this week in The Appraisal Journal.
The Appraisal Journal is the quarterly technical and academic publication of the Appraisal Institute, the nation's largest professional association of real estate appraisers. The materials presented in the publication represent the opinions and views of the authors and not necessarily those of the Appraisal Institute.
"Restaurant Valuation," by Brock J. Rule, MAI, looks at the valuation parameters used by restaurant operators, lenders and intermediaries in actual transactions in the real estate market and argues that appraisers should incorporate these considerations in the approach into valuation of restaurants. Rule proposes that appraisers use an excess earnings approach, which takes into consideration the market rent, a real estate capitalization rate and a business multiple.
Although the excess earnings method is ubiquitous across the industry for developing a credible opinion of value, the author explains that there are different accepted valuation techniques appraisers should employ when appraising chain restaurants — established brands with a regional or national presence — versus concept restaurants, which arelocal, one-off businesses. The author clarifies that the main distinction between chain and concept is highest and best use, i.e., the comparable rentals, capitalization rates and sales for a chain are chains; the comparables for local concepts are other local concepts.
According to a popular commercial real estate database cited in the article, as many as 22,000 restaurants sold during the period 2010-12, and the dollar value of the sampled transactions totaled nearly $11 billion, indicating there is considerable need for appraisal experience in this specialty market.
Brock J. Rule, MAI, is chief operating officer and managing director of the restaurant division for Hopkins Appraisal Services, which specializes exclusively in real estate and business valuations for restaurants and retail petroleum facilities. Rule earned a bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering, cum laude, from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana He received the MAI designation in 1991 and the ASA designation in business valuation in 2009.
Read "Restaurant Valuation" in the Spring 2014 issue of The Appraisal Journal.
Also in The Appraisal Journal's Spring 2014 issue:
"Ground Lease Provisions — A Case Study for Leasehold Valuation," by Don Guarino, MAI, Cameron Chehrazi, MAI, and Brad A. Bohl, looks at a case study explaining how to develop an estimate of value of an office building subject to a ground lease that is above the current market rate.
"Forecasting Commercial Real Estate Appreciation with Commercial Land Sales," by Scott Frayn, MAI, offers an economic model showing how the number of commercial land sales can be used as a predictor of the future level of inflation-adjusted commercial real estate appreciation.
"Fair Value of Investment Property and Independent Appraisers: The Experience in the UK and Japan," by Takashi Yamamoto, Ph.D., discusses the role appraisers play in fair market accounting and clarifies the status of the fair value of investment property of companies in the United Kingdom, which pioneered it, and also provides an analysis of the fair value of investment property of companies in Japan following the recent adoption of accounting standards for disclosure of the fair value.

With the Edvest Saving4College College Savings Planner app, you can keep track of your college savings goals wherever you are. Use the Saving4College app to model your college funding goals and how you plan to help meet them.
With the Saving4College app you can explore:
*Where you are now with college savings
*Your projected college savings
*How much college could cost in your timeframe
*What you'll probably need to invest to meet college costs
*Setting a realistic, achievable action plan
These calculations are made available to you as educational, self-help tools and are intended to provide you with approximate estimates of potential future tuition costs, potential savings invested in a hypothetical 529 college savings plan or other federal income tax-free investment, monthly and yearly contributions that may be needed to fund your child's education, and, if you choose to enter tax rates and deduction information, a comparison to a hypothetical investment in a taxable account. There may be additional costs associated with attending college that have not been factored into the calculations, such as miscellaneous administrative charges, discretionary meal expenses, supplies, etc.
Important Information About Your Calculations
The results presented are hypothetical illustrations and do not reflect the past or future performance of any specific investment. Rates of return will vary over time. Investments which seek to achieve higher rates of return are more volatile and involve a higher degree of risk.
The calculator takes into account tax variables based upon what you select. There may be limitations or restrictions on eligibility for tax benefits depending on the tax code in your state of residency.
These calculations do not constitute investment advice. As your financial situation changes, you should review your investment goals, time period for college investing, and personal financial situation and reassess whether you are saving enough to meet your college savings goals. You may want to consult with a qualified advisor before making an investment.
The calculations do not reflect management, administrative and other fees associated with 529 plans or any other investment used for college savings. If these fees had been reflected, the growth of the total contribution during the same investment period would have been lower.
The tax information contained herein is not intended to be used, and cannot be used, by any taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding tax penalties. It was written to support the promotion of college savings plans. Taxpayers should seek advice based on their own particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

Editor's Note: How are you celebrating the World Cup? Join the global conversation on CNN Facebook Pulse
Story highlights
Colombia team returns home to massive welcome in Bogota
Colombia went out in quarterfinals to hosts Brazil
WC top scorer James Rodriguez center of attention
Brazil comes to terms with loss of star player Neymar
Colombia may have exited the World Cup at the quarterfinal stage but it did not stop a massive crowd from welcoming home their heroes in the capital Bogota Sunday.
Hosts Brazil put paid to the team's hopes with a narrow 2-1 victory in Fortaleza Friday, although the win came at a heavy price with Neymar ruled out for the rest of the World Cup.
Arriving at El Dorado airport after an Avianca flight, the squad were met by a frenzied welcome with thousands lining the streets as their open top bus negotiated its way through the streets.
Read: Neymar blow as Brazil beats Colombia
Colombia, coached by Argentina's Jose Pekerman, won its group and impressed with its flowing football, led by World Cup sensation James Rodriguez.
He scored his sixth and tournament-leading goal, a late penalty, in the defeat to Brazil.
"Thanks for always being there, thanks for the support, we love you," Rodriguez said as he addressed the crowd.
They had gathered early, most wearing the team's yellow shirt, to catch a glimpse of the players who were given red carpet treatment at the airport, before going on a tour in the bus, which inched its way through the throngs.
The Colombian players were then presented on a stage at the Simon Bolivar park and showed off their footwork by dancing to the music.
Read: Colombia remembers Escobar
Meanwhile, the Brazil squad has been training in Teresopolis ahead of its semifinal clash with Germany in Belo Horizonte Tuesday.
Chelsea's Willian, who could come in for Neymar, admitted his loss was a blow to Brazil's hopes of winning the World Cup on home soil.
"Neymar sets the standard for us. He is capable of deciding any game, so playing without him will be difficult," he said.
Read: Colombia reaches knockout stages
But the midfielder added: "We know the quality that we have. We are all very sad at losing him but we are now even stronger after what happened and we can continue to pursue our dream."
Willian suffered an injury scare in training Saturday after a clash with Hernanes but said it would not prevent him playing in the last four clash.
Coach Luis Felipe Scolari's other possible replacement for Neymar, who has fractured a vertabra in his back, could be winger Bernard, who plays for Shakhtar Donetsk.

Let's Feed Our Children
Tom Colicchio takes to his blog to talk about a topic near and dear to his and his wife's hearts.
Last week we met this season's chefs. This week, the chefs hit the ground running, with a lighthearted Quickfire Challenge and a very serious Elimination Challenge …one that tackled an issue very close to my heart.
Recently Michelle Obama and White House Assistant Chef Sam Kass hosted almost 1,000 chefs on the South lawn of the White House to talk about how chefs can make a difference on the issue of school nutrition. I took Mrs. Obama's words to heart, which is why I'm devoting today's blog to the subject.
As I mentioned in tonight's episode, my mother ran a school lunch program for nearly 20 years. My brothers and I urged her to retire long before she actually agreed to. When I pressed her about it, she said that for a great many of the kids at her school, the food she planned and prepared was the only food they'd eat all day. She wanted to ensure that they had at least one good meal, and she was loathe to step away and entrust their well-being to someone else.
So when my wife, Lori Silverbush, teamed up with fellow filmmaker Kristi Jacobson to direct and produce a film on hunger in America, I was more than glad to sign on as Executive Producer. The film asks why a nation wealthy enough to provide healthy and affordable food for all of its people has a massive problem with food insecurity. A core premise of the film is that hunger in the U.S. is fixable … and a key means to accomplishing this task is the provision of universal free lunch to all of our school children.
Currently, there are over 45 million Americans who are food insecure. Almost 17 million of them are children. That's 17 million hungry children who cannot focus on their teachers and tasks in the classroom, and who are at risk of developing behavior challenges. Quite apart from how distracting the sensation of hunger can be, studies have proven that there is a direct link between proper nutrition and brain development. When the brain isn't fed while our children are young, it sets off a chain-reaction of lifelong and society-wide issues.
Furthermore, our nation's epidemic of obesity is not always due to lifestyle choices, but to lack of access or good options. Our First Lady's campaign against obesity is, in fact, a campaign against an aspect of poverty. When families run low on cash or food stamps run out (which they do because the programs are underfunded), parents turn out of necessity to the cheapest food to feed their children, which is usually fast food or empty calories like ramen noodles. So not only are their children's brains not fed what they need for proper development, but their children's bodies are being primed for obesity, and for such dire health issues as diabetes and heart disease in the future. (This problem is compounded by the fact that so many schools have had to cut their physical education programs due to budgetary concerns.) The ripple effect of poor nutrition in the early years is staggering, not just for each child but for society as a whole: Some experts estimate that hunger and food insecurity costs our economy over $120 billion a year in health care costs, lost wages, and productivity, etc. Add to that the costs of health care incurred over a lifetime due to poor childhood nutrition that I just mentioned and you have an idea just how vital this issue is for all of us.Currently, the government subsidizes schools to provide free lunches for some, reduced-price lunches for others, and lunches at "full price" for the rest ("full price" is in quotes because these lunches are also government-subsidized). A writer I greatly admire, Janet Poppendieck, argues in her book, Free for All, that lunches should be free for all children. Why? We make desks and textbooks free to all children in this country – not just the poor ones – because we recognize that without them, kids can't learn. The current system stigmatizes the kids who can't afford lunch, leading many who qualify to turn it down and go hungry (one kid I know explained that she'd rather be hungry than labeled and teased). We spend a fortune under the current system on the paperwork and labor to figure out who should get a free or reduced lunch – enough to cover the cost of a universally-available program. And just imagine the purchasing power schools would have if they were feeding all children, and the economies of scale they could employ in buying healthy ingredients; think of the systems for buying from local farms and producers that could be put into place, en masse, which would be a huge jolt to an agricultural sector that desperately needs it. Imagine the stimulus to the economy in training tens of thousands of workers to actually cook in schools, rather than simply heat up or reconstitute the processed food public schools currently serve. Some years ago, schools began treating lunchrooms like fast food restaurants by installing vending machines to sell branded products and soft drinks, as a way to raise more money for lunches. If universal school lunch was funded adequately, and nutritious and delicious food was actually being cooked and served to everyone, the schools could get rid of the junk food and the vending machines once and for all.
Some people argue that fast-food is all the kids want to eat. But when we talked with the kids at Alice Deal Middle School, they complained about the school lunch: "Pizza, pizza, pizza every day – we're sick of it!" They loved the food we served (most of it, anyway!). They came back for seconds, thirds, fourths. They ate it voraciously and were vocal in their appreciation and approbation of real food. One young woman that my wife and I mentor always requests the same treat when we see her: salad. To her it is the most exotic, exciting food in the world – one that her family can't afford. So to assume that all kids would only eat junk food when fresh, delicious, well-prepared food is available to them is giving them far less credit than they deserve.
And by the way, not only do I feel free lunch should be universal; I think breakfasts should be, too, and served right in the classroom – not in a separate (stigmatized) cafeteria. Studies of a pilot program here in NYC that provides breakfasts during homeroom showed a statistically significant increase in academic performance and good behavior among the children who received it. The teachers were over the moon about it. Sure, in an ideal world all kids would get healthy, nutritious breakfast at home, but we are deep in a recession, and many families – even those with working adults – need help making sure their kids get what they need.
As our Elimination Challenge highlighted, it is very difficult to create nutritious food within the current school lunch budget. The truth is, whole and nutritious food can be expensive, because it is expensive to grow. Junk and fast-foods are cheap because the USDA heavily subsidizes their main ingredients: commodities like corn for high fructose corn syrup, and soy, for cheap additives like soy protein isolate (i.e., MSG. )Amazingly, fruits and vegetables, are not subsidized in this country. Small farms growing food with nutritional value lack the political clout to lobby the USDA for their fair share which they could, in turn, roll over to the consumer in the form of lower prices. The legislation and regulations have gone awry; what began as agricultural policies to help us through the Great Depression and WWII have become unwieldy and counter to this country's best interests. We need to change the subsidies situation to make nutritious food more available and affordable to all.
Farm subsidies will be voted on in a new Farm Bill in 2012 – Hungry in America should be released right around then, and I hope it helps wake Americans up about how their tax dollars are being spent on outdated subsidies instead of important children's feeding programs. In the meantime, there important childhood nutrition bills pending before Congress. They're not popular initiatives on the Hill right now, since, like all spending bills, they require offsets from other programs. But providing universal free lunch and breakfast would have a huge positive impact on the health of our children and, therefore our nation's future.
As for the Elimination Challenge: It's amazing how one team was able to provide what seemed like so much more food than the others with the same budget. I commend their ingenuity. Whereas there was absolutely nothing good to say about Jacqueline's dish. I wish there were, but it was starchy and terrible. And even were it delicious, it made no sense for her to serve the children a dish containing that much sugar. Adding all of that sugar flew in the face of the whole goal of the challenge, i.e., to feed the children nutritious, non-fattening food that was low in sugar and free of additives. I'll add that Amanda is just lucky that Jacqueline's dish was as disastrous as it was, since I cannot believe that no one stopped Amanda from making that sherry chicken for a cafeteria full of children. One last note: It almost appeared as though Angelo really played the rest of his team, trying to lose so that Kenny would be sent home. I don't know if it's true, but it certainly seemed that way…

I posted some Korean Trot music before, but this time I've found some real old classics from the 1950s and 60s.
This is the Kim Sisters from 1957.
Lee Nan Young from 1960. Apparently Lee Nan Young is the Kim Sisters mother.
This is my favourite by Mr Ko Boksoo (I think). I love the elegance of this.

A Bush vision of Pax Americana
National strategy, released Friday, calls for US dominance to expand global peace.
After laying out what may be the boldest restatement of US national security strategy in half a century, the Bush administration is pressing forward to implement it in the high-profile case of Iraq.
The United States has been the world's only superpower at least since the fall of the Berlin Wall, but defining what that might mean, in terms of America's role in the world, has been taking shape more slowly.
The Bush administration's first National Security Strategy, released Friday, takes an unprecedented step away from cold-war views to confront a world beset by the likes of Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda terrorists.
More broadly, the 31-page document asserts American dominance as the lone superpower a status no rival power will be allowed to challenge.
And it provides a reason the world should accept this state of affairs: the expansion of peace and more freedom. A Pax Americana will be "in the service of a balance of power that favors freedom."
Critics are already describing the new strategy as arrogant and dangerous a far cry from the tone of humility in foreign affairs promised in President Bush's inaugural address. To supporters, it represents an overdue codification of America's mission of global leadership.
"It's a very far-reaching and comprehensive statement, and it's likely to endure as a bedrock element in American thinking in this post cold war world," says Walter Russell Mead, a senior fellow for US foreign policy at the Council on Foreign Relations.
On one thing analysts on both sides agree: In many ways it merely makes explicit what has been US practice for years.
"If you look at our history with Latin America, you could cast much of previous policy as imposing regime changes on the basis that if we don't act, bad things will happen. But to boldly declare such a policy, that's new," says Richard Stoll, professor of political science at Rice University.
Where the Truman-era doctrine of containment had fallen with the Berlin Wall, the Bush document makes a case for preemptive response when there is evidence of an "imminent threat."
At the same time, it details significant new development aid, including a 50 percent rise in US aid to countries that commit to economic freedom and pro-growth policies. The document also proposes a goal of doubling the size of the world's poorest economies within a decade.
When President Truman made the case for a new US strategic doctrine in 1950, the world was still reeling from the carnage of World War II. Communist rivals with the aim of world dominance threatened the peace. A rapid buildup of US military power and presence in strategic areas was needed to contain them, he said.
To Bush and his advisers, the dangers in the post-9/11 world come not from strong states but from weak ones that nurture terrorists with the capacity to create great chaos "for less than it costs to purchase a single tank," the report says.
The first test for this new strategy is Iraq, which the US says poses an immediate threat to world security. The president has also cast the Iraq threat as a test of the credibility of world institutions.
His Sept. 12 speech to the UN General Assembly directed a bright light on how the UN handles enforcement of its own resolutions, and spurred an intense burst of activity to revive enforcement of some 16 Security Council resolutions.
Last week, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein said that he would accept UN weapons inspectors back into the country without conditions.
In New York, US and British diplomats responded by urging a new UN resolution setting a timetable for inspectors to do their work, and specifying consequences if that deadline is not met as well as other conditions on the search for biological, chemical, or nuclear weapons.
Many members of the UN Security Council say they do not want to take up a military option at this time. And on Saturday, the Iraqi president said that his country would not cooperate with any resolution that is different than those previously voted.
THESE ongoing discussions, including direct talks between President Bush and key leaders, involve some of the most complex and focused diplomatic efforts of the Bush presidency. On Friday, President Bush spoke for half-an-hour with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who favors improved weapons inspection but has not backed use of force. Russia has historic ties to Iraq, as well as billions in outstanding loans.
One usual ally, with whom there has been little discussion, is Germany, where a cabinet official was cited in press reports as comparing President Bush's methods to those of Hitler.
"The Germans won't be able to ask for a permanent seat at the UN [Security Council] for quite some time," says Dominique Moisi, deputy director of the French Institute for International Relations in Paris. France has been moving closer to the US position. He explains that "President Chirac was really alarmed at the level of anti-French bashing in America and [a] priority was to establish a more normal relation with America. Now, we're much closer to America than Germany."
Meanwhile, the Bush administration is taking a similar broad resolution to the US Congress, which is expected to pass authorization to use force before breaking in mid-October.
"The Democrats have been perplexed, maybe even timid as to how they react to the Iraqi crisis," says the former Rep. Lee Hamilton (D) of Indiana, now director of the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington. "A good many of the Democrats just want to get it off the agenda and get on to other issues before the election."
For us the role of military power is to serve the national purpose by deterring an attack upon us while we seek by other means to create an environment in which our free society can flourish....
Our free society, confronted by a threat to its basic values, naturally will take such action, including the use of military force, as may be required to protect those values.... [Military measures should not be] so excessive or misdirected as to make us enemies of the people....
1950 Truman administration NSC-68
It has taken almost a decade for us to comprehend the true nature of this new threat. Given the goals of rogue states and terrorists, the United States can no longer rely on a reactive posture as we have in the past. The inability to deter a potential attacker, the immediacy of today's threats, and the magnitude of potential harm that could be caused by our adversaries' choice of weapons, do not permit that option. We cannot let our enemies strike first....
To forestall or prevent such hostile acts by our adversaries, the United States will, if necessary, act preemptively.
2002 Bush administration National Security Strategy

By Ronald K.L. Collins
It is ironic: Free speech is seldom free. It often demands a price. There is a comic adage that says, "tell your boss what you think of him and the truth will set you free." Indeed. Too often, such is the cost of free speech.
The aspirational goal of the First Amendment is to reduce the punitive costs of exercising free speech rights for everyone from irksome anarchists to self-righteous anti-abortionists to confrontational environmentalists to vexing Tea Party types to those who trade in taboo. Faithfully applied, the First Amendment should allow all Americans — including people of color and people of conscience — to voice their own life gospel regardless of how offensive it might be to the rest of us, the respectful many.
Toleration is the stock of the First Amendment. It holds in reserve the patience needed to prevent the punitive costs typically associated with breaching societal norms by contesting them or even mocking them. If the First Amendment did not protect offensive expression, why would we need it? After all, there is no reason to protect speech with which we agree or ideas which we accept or values which we cherish. The whole idea of the great Madisonian experiment is stay the government hand when it would be oppressive, when it would censor those whose messages we abhor.
Lenny Bruce, the vulgar satirist, died for our First Amendment sins in convicting him for words crimes. Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the publisher of City Lights Books and founder of City Lights Bookstore, fought censors to defend a poem (Howl). The costs of such abridgements are far too high for any society committed to First Amendment ideas. They are part of a past that reminds us of our censorial blunders.
To be American is to celebrate, not denigrate, dissent. Sure, we may disagree. True, we might take strong exception. What to do? The remedy is to respond in kind: add more speech (your speech) to the mix. You cannot stand those folks who demonstrate at military funerals? Okay. So why not demonstrate around them? That is, form a protective circle around our fallen military men and women and thereby do your part to diminish the hateful message of those who feel that is their God-given duty to disseminate hate. To celebrate the idea and practice of dissent does not mean that one must yield to bigotry or homophobia or mean-spiritedness. It just means that we tolerate them. Consider, for example, two forms of dissident expression I have witnessed recently:
A man stands outside of the Vatican Embassy in Washington, D.C. He is a regular at his protest post on the sidewalk where he holds huge signs that say things like "The Vatican Aids Pedophiles." Is it true? Is it fair? I don't know, though I have a view on the matter. What I do know is that this sign of dissent is a good sign in America. I celebrate it!
Abortion protestors stand on an island in the street holding graphic posters with gruesome images of disembodied fetuses. I turn my head. Do I share their views? No! But I confess to taking some strange comfort in the fact that their public spectacle is tolerated, no matter how much it causes commotion in my circle of comfort.
Today Muslims and government whistleblowers sometimes bear the brunt of intolerance. Some don't like their mosques in our neighborhoods, while others have no patience for those who release government secrets about government wrong-doing. They irk us; they contest our life creed; and they are said to place our safety at risk. Stop them, slap them, wiretap them, imprison them, drive them out of our society or into our prisons. The outsider, the non-conformist, the agitator — they're all insufferable to many of us at some time or even most of the time.
Censors, of course, have a variety of devious ways for dealing with insufferable types. Take, for example, "free speech zones" — an Orwellian turn of phrase if ever there was one. Such zones (like the ones at the 2004 Democratic National Convention) are an anathema to the liberty ideal embodied in the First Amendment. And yet, our society permits them on campuses and elsewhere with the hope that dissident messages can be foiled by fences or ruled by regulations.
In the end, know this: the speech we defend is the liberty we preserve. Yes, the costs of freedom are always great, no matter what the era or society. Then again, to be unwilling to pay such a price is to be unfit for that kind of government worthy of a free people.

A side-by-side comparison of fast food as it's pictured in advertising versus the food you actually purchase is even more of a fail than you'd think.
Dario D. visited several fast food places, brought food home, and photographed it, in order to compare it to fast food ads. He did his best to try and to match the lighting and angles.
He admits that "burger size/presentation can certainly vary from location to location," but notes that while we're inundated with glistening, colorful burgers and tacos, the product never appears as advertised.
Dario writes: "I happily pitch the idea that lawmakers are committing a crime against us people by allowing us to be continually insulted by this advertising, and consequently this pursuit of technical correctness, in defiance of human perception."

Obitz.com has revealed that customers browsing the site on an Apple computer aren't necessarily being shown the best deals the discount travel broker has to offer.
It's all part of a "predictive analytics" initiative the the company has rolled out in order to gain more revenue.
As reports the Wall Street Journal, a study conducted by Orbitz Worldwide Inc. found that individuals who booked their vacations through the site using an Apple computer will typically spend as much as 30% more on their accommodations than those accessing the site using Windows.
The WSJ notes that Forrester Research also found the average household income for adult owners of Mac computers is $98,560, while the average PC-owning adult brings home a slightly less handsom $74,452.
While they are quick to assure that the same results will be shown to users of either operating system, Orbitz explains that pricier and often more luxurious offers are displayed more prominently to those accessing the site on a Mac.
Readers: What do you think of this? [WSJ via MacRumors]
Update: Orbitz CEO Barney Harford issued the below statement to Gizmodo, in response to recent press.
Nonsense that we'd charge Mac users more for the same hotel, which is unfortunately the incorrect impression that many readers seem to be drawing from this [WSJ] article's "subscriber content preview."
However, just as Mac users are willing to pay more for higher end computers, at Orbitz we've seen that Mac users are 40% more likely to book 4 or 5 star hotels as compared to PC users, and that just one of many factors that determine which hotels to recommend a given customer as part of our efforts to show customers the most relevant hotels possible.
More on what we're actually doing to create a personalized experience in my recent USA Today blog post: https://bitly.com/JWLTzz.
Unfortunately WSJ editors have chosen to hide the full story behind their pay wall, so most of the world is reacting to a confusing headline, while the key point "the company isn't showing the same room to different users at different prices" is hidden because... the WSJ is steering users to pay more to be able to read the full article and understand what's actually happening.

DNEPROPETROVSK, Ukraine — In the warm glow of a spring evening, the central square in this eastern Ukrainian city bustles as shoppers crowd a pedestrian mall with shiny storefronts. Children spin on a brightly colored carousel.
But behind the glimpses of ordinary life lies a terrible history: The merry-go-round stands on the spot where in 1941, 11,000 Jews were rounded up by Nazi occupiers and taken away to be shot. Across the square, the podium of a toppled monument to Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin recalls the decades of oppression that followed the war and the atheist Communist regime that suppressed Jewish religion and culture.
Now, fear of war has returned to Dnepropetrovsk, carried by the tensions surrounding Sunday's referendum in Crimea on whether to declare independence from Ukraine and join Russia and by deadly clashes that erupted this weekend near the eastern border.
With Russian forces massing along the frontier, worries run especially deep among the city's Jewish population of 40,000 to 50,000 — including thousands of Holocaust survivors — which has enjoyed a renaissance in recent decades in large part thanks to efforts by Boston's Jewish community.
"People are afraid of the Russian tanks. If they get into [the border regions of] Donetsk and Lugansk, why not come here," asked Shmuel Kaminetzky, the chief rabbi of Dnepropetrovsk.
The foreboding mood was palpable Friday at the Jewish center of this rambling city of 1 million bisected by the mighty Dnieper River. A gleaming 22-story complex serves as a sprawling beacon of the Jewish revival. It combines a synagogue, a luxury hotel, shops, two convention halls, kosher restaurants, and art exhibits.
Some people at the center said they were considering leaving for good.
President Vladimir Putin of Russia has declared that he will use his military to protect people in Ukraine from those whom he refers to as ultranationalists who illegally seized power when they chased the pro-Moscow president from power last month.
"I don't need protection, I don't want to live in Russia, and I don't know anyone who wants to live in Russia," said Tatyana Boicheva, 70, a children's music teacher whose brother lives in Jerusalem. She was at the center to pick up special food parcels being handed out to pensioners and World War II veterans for the Purim holiday.
Boicheva experienced Soviet anti-Semitism firsthand. She wanted to study math or medicine out of high school, she said, but was refused because she was Jewish.
"I had the right grades but the wrong last name," she said.
Boicheva's reservations were not limited to Putin. She cited the alliance of the new Ukrainian government with a nationalist party whose members venerate a World-War II-era partisan leader, Stepan Bandera, seen in Russia and eastern Ukraine as a Nazi collaborator.
"All of Europe condemns Fascism. How did these people come to power," said Solomon Flaks, 87, head of an organization with an office in the center, the Jewish World War II Veterans Council, who has spent the past 20 years documenting the military service of Jews in the war against Nazi Germany.
Historians here said 25,000 Jews from Dnepropetrovsk were drafted into the Red Army, and 10,000 were killed in action. But for 50 years, the Soviet regime refused to acknowledge their service as part of a general policy to diminish the role of Jews in Soviet society (the Soviets also refused to publicly acknowledge Jewish victims of the Holocaust).
The city's Jewish identity suffered in myriad other ways. In the decades after World War II, all but one of the city's 42 synagogues were confiscated by the government. By the late 1980s, said Zelig Brez, the executive director of the Jewish Community of Dnepropetrovsk, "there were only a few men who would gather at the synagogue for Sabbath services."
Boston's involvement with Dnepropetrovsk started shortly thereafter, basically as a random assignment, according to Jeremy Burton, director of the Boston Jewish Community Relations Council. Jewish communities in the United States were being paired with cities in the former Soviet Union, and Boston drew Dnepropetrovsk.
Early on, the Boston community sent prominent doctors to help open a children's clinic and a women's health clinic. Instead of just sending financial aid and equipment, Boston focused on expertise, particularly in areas where Soviet society was weak: management of nonprofit groups, working with people with disabilities, and modernizing such aspects of medical treatment as screening for breast and cervical cancers.
The cooperation has led to some big successes, said Olena Finkova, chief doctor of the hospital where the Boston Jewish community helped open the Corky Ribakoff Women's Clinic. Timely diagnosis has drastically reduced the mortality rate of cervical cancer.
The Jewish Community now boasts senior assisted living facilities and outpatient care, a big brother and big sister program, a Jewish school, an initiative to create IT jobs for young people, and a microlending program for women at risk.
"Boston did just not help the Jewish community here," said Rabbi Kaminetzky. "Boston is the mother of the Jewish community here. Everything we are, they started.
"We didn't know how to teach people to volunteer. They came here to implement the essence of how to build a community," he added.
As time has gone on, Burton said, the relationship has become more of an exchange of opinions.
"We are in partnership with this community," he said. "It's not about us telling [Ukrainians] what they should be doing."
That scenario played out Thursday in a cramped office perched over a dingy courtyard hidden behind a heavy steel gate. It is the former site of the sole synagogue during the Soviet period, now turned into Brez's office.
Brez and several other members of the Dnepropetrovsk community worked out details via a videoconference with four Americans for a new medical center for the general public — they were down to such fine points as where to put the bathrooms and whether it should have its own pharmacy.
Another example of Americans learning from Ukraine took place in late February, when supporters of the Kiev protest against then-President Viktor Yanukovych tore down the Lenin statue. The next morning, Emilia Diamant of Hebrew College in Newton, who was leading a group of Boston-area high school students on a weeklong winter camp at the Dnepropetrovsk Jewish day school, took her charges into the square.
"There was a lively debate between the two sides, pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian," Diamant said. She said she told her group, " 'someday your kids will study this, and you will tell them – I was there.' We were there for one of the turning points, for a historic world moment."
If older Jews worry about which position to take up along the divide between Russians and Ukrainians, some younger Jews see in the crisis an opportunity.
Brez remembers being mocked in his school days in the 1980s, when he was the only Jew in his class. The teachers reinforced it.
"I felt like a monkey in a cage," he said. "I had to fight. And I cried."
Now, he said: "That kind of official anti-Semitism is almost never felt. It's a miracle how much it has changed.''
Amid the unease, Brez said he dreams that the crisis will usher in a new era in Ukraine.
He noted that the new governor of Dnepropetrovsk, a Jewish media, metals, and banking magnate who is Ukraine's third-richest man, has Russians and Ukrainians in his administration, and works with members of far-right parties.
"These parties are moderating their positions," Brez said. "There's such a feeling of Ukrainian national pride that wasn't there."
"Up until now, I could say I'm a citizen of Ukraine," he said. "Now, I want to say I'm proud to be a Ukrainian who feels freedom and dignity to be a Jew."

Published on November 22, 2019The Hygiene Hypothesis
It's convenient to think of our bodies as machines that take in energy and are able to perform millions of different tasks. Consider the increasingly sophisticated computers and robots that now do what humans previously did. Seeing ourselves as mere machines overlooks at least one critical difference. You and I are self-healing. Machines aren't.
This self-healing capacity is a mystery. However, the power that made our body is the power that heals it. When we die, this self-healing ability immediately stops.
It's this self-healing capacity that intrigued the very first chiropractor. Why was it that two men, working side by side, one man would get sick, and the other, exposed to the same germs did not?
This question led D.D. Palmer to question the prevailing germ theory of a century ago. "It must not be the germ, but something intrinsic to the man," he surmised.
Ironically, Louis Pasteur, the actual author of the germ theory had second thoughts too. On his deathbed he recanted his theory proclaiming, "…the microbe is nothing, terrain is everything." In other words, it's soil, not the seed (germ), that is the key to whether a germ will manifest into disease.
This fear of germs still lingers in our culture. We mistakenly believe that if we kill enough germs it will produce health. This has resulted in what's called the "hygiene hypothesis."
The hygiene hypothesis suggests that some exposure to germs and microorganisms in early childhood is good for us. It helps develop the immune system. Many believe that a lack of exposure to microbes can result in allergies, autoimmune conditions and a less robust immune system.
Yet, healthy individuals (that's the key) are perfectly equipped to handle just about any germ or virus that comes our way. If not, the human race would have died off long ago.
Thankfully, our immune system (controlled by our nervous system) is on the job 24/7. It's subduing countless germs and microbes without a single conscious thought from us.
Something that a machine will never be able to do.

Anti-Depressants Linked to Suicide and Violence
In June 2001, a jury in Wyoming determined that the antidepressant drug Paxil caused a man to kill his wife, daughter and granddaughter before killing himself. The jury awarded the surviving family $8 million in damages, according to 'American Medical Publishing's Prescription Medicines, Side Effects and Natural Alternatives'.
In Portland, Ore., Jay Johnston followed his doctor's orders and took the prescribed antidepressants Zoloft and Prozac. He then attempted suicide with a shotgun, permanently disfiguring himself. In the same month as the Wyoming jury's decision, Johnston sued his doctor for not properly monitoring him. The jury found the doctor guilty of criminal negligence and awarded Johnston $5 million, reports Dr. Ann Blake Tracy in 'Prozac: Panacea or Pandora'. Similarly, who could forget Eric Harris, who -- along with Dylan Klebold -- killed 11 people and then himself in the Columbine school shooting? At the time of the shooting, Harris was being treated with the prescription antidepressant Luvox.
These patients are among the growing statistics of people who committed suicide, or tried to commit suicide, while undergoing treatment with prescription antidepressants.
Antidepressant drugs such as Prozac, Luvox and Paxil are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, commonly known as SSRIs. Serotonin is one of your brain's most important biochemicals; it controls everything from appetite to mood swings. If you're depressed, compulsively eating or gambling, not sleeping properly or even just moody, you're probably lacking serotonin. It's important to note, however, that you can also have too much serotonin.
In Health and Nutrition Secrets, Dr. Russell L. Blaylock writes, "It is also known that these medications increase brain levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which, in high concentrations, can also act as an excitotoxin." When antidepressant drugs raise serotonin to an excitotoxin level, the brain reacts in ways similar to mental illness. According to Burton Goldberg's book, 'Alternative Medicine', side effects of SSRIs include uncontrollable facial and body tics, dizziness, hallucinations, nausea, sexual dysfunction, addiction, electric-shock-like sensations in the brain and, of course, homicidal or suicidal thoughts and behavior.
Unfortunately, the doctors prescribing these SSRIs often forget that you can have too much of a good thing -- that is, too much serotonin -- so they prescribe SSRIs to just about everyone. Now, there are some truly bad doctors out there, such as the psychiatrist whom Dr. Joseph Glenmullen describes in Prozac Backlash:
"Anna was started on Prozac but became severely anxious, agitated and sleepless ... Having never been suicidal before, two weeks after starting Prozac, Anna went to her HMO because she felt like killing herself. The psychiatrist on call told Anna the Prozac was indeed making her worse and hospitalized her. But her original psychiatrist disagreed, restarted Prozac, although at a lower dose and added a second, sedating antidepressant (Trazodone), which Anna only took for two days."
Anna's original doctor seems to be little more than a licensed drug dealer. However, let's give the benefit of the doubt to most antidepressant-prescribing doctors and say that they're just ignorant of antidepressants' potentially fatal side effects. Based on Goldberg's figures, physicians -- not psychiatrists -- write over 70 percent of all prescriptions for SSRIs, so they may very well be ignorant of the antidepressant scare.
Pharmaceutical companies, however, have no excuse. Prozac's maker, Eli Lilly, frantically fought any change in the prescribing guidelines for antidepressants; even a general warning. Not even public allegations linking the drug to suicides, murders, murder-suicides and mass murder-suicides could weaken Eli Lilly's staunch defense of the antidepressant. Dr. Glenmullen explains that Eli Lilly's stance was a result, of course, of financial greed: "Pharmaceutical companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars developing and launching a drug like Prozac. By 1991, Prozac was already the number-one bestselling antidepressant, with sales near $1 billion a year. The stakes were indeed high. So the pharmaceutical industry and drug advocates decided to defend Prozac at all costs, despite the risks to individual and public safety." In other words, to the pharmaceutical industry, it seems nothing -- not the individual lives of depressed people, not the massacre at Columbine -- is more important than making $1 billion a year.
You know your life is more important than that; you know that humanity is more important than any financial sum. It's up to you -- not your doctor and certainly not a pill -- to find a way to overcome depression. Visit a therapist and do some cognitive therapy; even the staunchest pill-pusher won't deny that antidepressant medication is no substitute for counseling. If your brain lacks serotonin, there are many safe and natural ways to boost the biochemical.

Prozac, Luvox, Paxil and Zoloft are just brand names for the same recipe for disaster. Every day, doctors prescribe medications that are known to induce suicide and other violent behavior in depressed people who may already be suicidal. This is so ironic that it's sickening, and only knowledgeable consumers who tell their doctors that they don't want to be given these dangerous drugs can make it stop.
The experts speak out on antidepressant drugs and suicide:
"A lawsuit contends the manufacturer of the popular anti-depressant Paxil concealed evidence that the drug can be addictive. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of 35 people from around the country who say they suffered symptoms ranging from electrical shocks to suicidal thoughts after discontinuing use of the drug. Paxil is the second largest selling anti-depressant in America. In June of 2001, a jury in Wyoming awarded $8 million in damages to a family of a man after determining that Paxil caused him to kill his wife, daughter, and granddaughter before he committed suicide."
'Prescription Medicines, Side Effects and Natural Alternatives' by American Medical Publishing, page 30
"What's true for Prozac doesn't necessarily apply to other drugs classified as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). For example, the FDA has ruled that Paxil (paroxetine) should not be taken by anyone younger than age 18 because it is associated with a possible increased risk of suicidal impulses."
'Dr Isadore Rosenfeld's Breakthrough Health' by Isadore Rosenfeld MD, page 87
6/29/01-Portland, OR, $5 Million Awarded In anti-depressant Negligence Case Jay Johnston tried commit suicide after being given Zoloft and then Prozac. He is permanently disfigured from the shotgun blast. He sued his doctor for not properly monitoring him and was awarded $5 million.
'PROZAC Panacea or Pandora' by Ann Blake Tracy PhD, page 280
"A brand-new drug can be like a license to print money. It certainly worked that way for Eli Lilly. When the company launched the antidepressant Prozac in 1987, nobody else had anything quite like it, and Lilly cleaned up. But then other pharmaceutical firms rushed in with their own versions, including Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa and the recently newsworthy Luvox, found in the blood of Columbine High School shooter Eric Harris. The competition has already eaten into Lilly's market share, and things can only go downhill from here."
'Beyond Depression' by Michael D. Lemonick and Alice Park, Time 5/17/99, page 74
"Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Drug, such as Prozac, that increases levels of circulating serotonin. SSRIs have the potential for serious side effects, including suicidal thoughts, restlessness, and aggression."
'The Memory Solution' by Dr Julian Whitaker, page 252
"It is also interesting to note that in all the cases of school shootings, the kids responsible for the violence were taking SSRI medications, which are known to produce suicidal and homicidal "side effects." It is also known that these medications increase brain levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which, in high concentrations, can also act as an excitotoxin."
'Health And Nutrition Secrets' by Russell L Blaylock MD, page 79
"Prozac and similar antidepressant drugs, such as Paxil and Zoloft, have seen a significant increase in use over the last decade, with approximately 28 million Americans having used the drugs, and 70% of the prescriptions for them written by physicians rather than psychiatrists. Joseph Glen-mullen, Ph.D., author of Prozac Backlash, considers this trend both dangerous and reckless, pointing out that anti-depressants can have severe side effects. These include uncontrollable facial and body tics (which can be signs of severe neurological damage), hallucinations, dizziness, nausea, anxiety, withdrawal symptoms, sexual dysfunction, and electric shock-like sensations in the brain. Dr. Glen-mullen cautions that a small percentage of people can become homicidal, suicidal, or both as a result of Prozac use."
'Alternative Medicine' by Burton Goldberg, page 798
"Do doctors prescribe SSRIs too often?"
"One of the most compelling stories was that of Anna, who told me Prozac caused her to make a serious suicide attempt while in the care of a previous psychiatrist. As a freshman in college, Anna had been miserably depressed, missing her family and feeling unhappy with her roommates. As the year wore on, she consulted with a psychologist who referred her to a psychiatrist for medication. Anna was started on Prozac but became severely anxious, agitated, and sleepless. She felt "all sped up inside," as if she were "in fast forward while the rest of the world was in slow motion." Having never been suicidal before, two weeks after starting Prozac, Anna went to her HMO because she felt like killing herself. The psychiatrist on call told Anna the Prozac was indeed making her worse and hospitalized her. But her original psychiatrist disagreed, restarted Prozac, although at a lower dose, and added a second, sedating antidepressant (Trazodone), which Anna only took for two days."
'Prozac Backlash' by Joseph Glenmullen MD, page 140
"Once she was stable, Anna was admitted to McLean Hospital, where she was described as having had a "paradoxical" reaction to Prozac. A nurse told her one of McLean's psychopharmacologists, Dr. Teicher, had written about patients like Anna who became suicidal on Prozac. She was put on a different type of antidepressant, which did not precipitate the same reaction."
'Prozac Backlash' by Joseph Glenmullen MD, page 140
"Many research and case studies demonstrate a link between antidepressants and suicide and other violent behavior"
"Women were known to use less lethal means until the SSRl antidepressants hit the market. But on Prozac and Paxil, women committed 40% of the suicides - many were strikingly violent and clearly leaving no means for rescue."
'PROZAC Panacea or Pandora' by Ann Blake Tracy PhD, page 280
"Because suicidal tendencies are a frequent characteristic of depression, perhaps one of the most serious problems associated with antidepressants is the potential for drug overdose. The potential for suicide caused by the very medication prescribed to prevent it, is further enhanced by the synergistic interaction of the antidepressives with alcohol, barbiturates, and other central nervous system depressants. A glance through the PDR indicates that the quantity and the magnitude of the dangers associated with Elavil are equally present with the other antidepressants."
'Get Healthy Now' by Gary Null, page 215
"Just before Christmas Dr Stuart Donovan and colleagues published a crucial article in the British Journal of Psychiatry. Of 2,776 patients taking SSRIs who were treated at the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary over two years. They found that if you look for a statistically significant relationship between taking SSRIs and suicide by overdosing on them, you won't find much. But they did find a relationship between taking SSRIs and all forms of deliberate self-harm - including overdose, attempted overdose, hanging, gassing, laceration, deliberate road traffic accidents, head banging, swallowing non-medicines - much higher for SSRIs than for the older tricyclics. "The relationship is so strong, Dr Donovan says, that he firmly believes promotional material for SSRIs including Seroxat [Paxil] should be changed immediately so doctors no longer prescribe them to potentially suicidal patients thinking, mistakenly, that by doing so they are protecting their lives." When Dr Donovan sent the manuscript of this study to SmithKline Beecham [now GlaxoSmithKline] (who partially financed the study along with Eli Lilly) before it was published asking for comments. They did not reply."
'PROZAC Panacea or Pandora' by Ann Blake Tracy PhD, page 15
"GULF WAR VETERANS: Captain Joyce Riley, who has headed the battle in exposing Gulf War Syndrome, has noted that approximately 80- 90% of the Gulf War vets are now on or have been offered one of the SSRI antidepressants. As a result many have had their lives turned upside down with others committing suicide or murder/suicide".
'PROZAC Panacea or Pandora' by Ann Blake Tracy PhD, page 15
"In another case, reported by Frederick Goggans and colleagues, in Medical Mimics of Psychiatric Disorders, a 27-year-old executive was hospitalized after attempting to kill herself by overdosing on antidepressants prescribed by her psychiatrist. The woman's suicide attempt--her second--followed a year of psychotherapy that had failed to relieve her fatigue, cognitive problems, and despondency. She was distraught that her suicide attempt was unsuccessful, and told her doctors that she would probably try to kill herself again."
'A Dose of Sanity' by Sydney Walker III MD, page 108
"While the FDA had cleared the drugs, my colleagues continued to describe some cases in which they appeared to have caused severe reactions--agitation, paranoia, psychosis, suicide, and violence--in a small number of patients. Rumors within psychiatric circles held that the FDA panel of outside experts had been flawed, beset with conflicts of interest and deeply divided on the issue of Prozac's safety, in spite of the impression given to the public. Could it be true that a majority of the panel members had conflicts of interest? Had the vote not been unanimous? Was the panel so divided that one-third of its members pressed for a warning and changes in the guidelines for prescribing antidepressant drugs? What was one to believe?"

Vancouver, BC (SportsNetwork.com) - Red Bull New York will look to defend its MLS Supporters' Shield in 2014, starting with its trip to BC Place to face Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
New York's Supporters' Shield triumph in 2013 was its first piece of major silverware in club history.
And the Red Bulls are well-positioned to add to their trophy cabinet after making minimal changes to a squad that helped the club finish atop the overall MLS table last term.
"It's been almost a cliche about the New York organization over the years having an overhaul in the offseason, and that's something I want to get away from," Red Bulls head coach Mike Petke told the club's official website. "We have good chemistry and a good returning core. There's no reason to mix it up just for the sake of it."
Petke, entering his second year as a head coach, likely won't have star player Thierry Henry at his disposal for the opener given the Frenchman's disdain for playing on artificial surfaces. The Red Bulls also may be without Tim Cahill after the midfielder featured for Australia in midweek international action.
That bodes well for the Whitecaps, some questions to answer as there is a major void left to fill in front of goal.
Last season saw the 'Caps hit a tailspin down the stretch, costing the club a playoff spot as well as then-manager Martin Rennie his job en route to a 13-12-9 record for seventh place in the West.
Diminutive forward Camilo Sanvezzo emerged as an offensive force for the Whitecaps as he finished with 22 goals and won the Golden Boot for the league's highest scorer.
The team looked to have found a player to build around for the future, but Camilo's tenure in the great Northwest ended strangely this offseason when the Brazilian starlet forced his way out amidst controversy and was eventually transferred to Mexican club Queretaro.
With Camilo gone, the biggest question for Vancouver this season is how the club is going to replace the Brazilian's outstanding offensive production.
The best candidates to take up Camilo's mantle at the top of the formation are Jamaican international Darren Mattocks, second-year player Kekuta Manneh, and newly-acquired youngster Matias Laba.
Also new in the fold this season is head coach Carl Robinson, who previously served as an assistant coach to Rennie.
Robinson's status as a head-coaching novice, paired with the uncertainty of where goals will come from on a regular basis, leaves plenty of questions left for the Whitecaps to answer this season.
