Wenger: Walcott will not leave in January
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists contract rebel Theo Walcott will not be sold in the January transfer window, claiming on Thursday he expects the England man to sign a new deal.
Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsey and Carl Jenkinson handed Arsenal a major boost by agreeing to new long-term contracts with the club on Wednesday, with Wenger suggesting the feel-good factor created by that news may influence Walcott's decision making.
"He has to make his mind up now and I hope the decision taken by the other players will help him to do that," Wenger said.
"We will not sell Theo in January, that is for sure. My gut feeling is he belongs to this club and I hope he will stay. Once he makes up his mind, it will be done quick.
"The question, at the end of the day, is can you pay what the player wants? And does it fit with your wage structure? We have a wage bill that has to be respected.
"I always fought in my life for players to make money so therefore I am happy when the players make big money. I always fight for that, but it has to be possible for the club to pay it."
Wenger went on to insist he has the full backing of the club's board despite his side's recent difficulties and confirmed he will look to strengthen his squad in the January transfer window if presented with the right opportunities.
"I have always had the support from the board, and am very grateful for that," he said. "We have worked over the years in respecting in what we did, which is to always work within our financial resources.
"Therefore we made decisions which from outside looked not based on purely footballing reasons, but it was based as well on financial reasons.
"What we do not want to do is add players just because people put us under pressure to buy players. That is where we have to be strong enough. If we find a player who will give us something special, we will do it, but that is not easy in January."
Meanwhile, Wenger bemoaned the decision to call off Arsenal's Boxing Day game against West Ham for safety reasons, even though it gives his side a lighter workload over the festive season.
"Ideally I would have loved to play," Wenger said. "I always prefer to play the game. The authorities decided to cancel the game so we have to accept it and play that game at another moment of the season. I would have preferred to play. We will practice on Boxing Day for sure. Christmas Day I have not decided yet."

WASHINGTON – Vice President Joe Biden, at a fund-raiser in Washington Tuesday night for US Representative Edward J. Markey, was highly critical of the Republican Party, even as he praised Markey and implored supporters not to take the Massachusetts election for granted.
"Ed Markey in the Senate is not a single vote; Ed Markey in the Senate is part of a movement," Biden said at an event that raised $250,000 for Markey's campaign. "Ed Markey in the Senate will command respect and attention the moment he stands on the floor to speak for the first time."
The fund-raiser, held at a private home in an expensive neighborhood in Washington, was also headlined by former vice president Al Gore and Victoria Reggie Kennedy, the widow of the late US senator Edward M. Kennedy.
Biden urged some 200 attendees not to assume that Markey will win, saying that "this is a strange moment" and that, without the president at the top of the ticket, turnout by minority-group voters in Massachusetts might be low.
"There's a big difference in this race," Biden said. "Barack Obama's not at the head of the ticket. And that means those legions of African-Americans and Latinos are not automatically going to come out. No one has energized them like Barack Obama. But he's not on the ticket, so don't take this one for granted."
Biden repeatedly praised Markey, saying "few have the quality of character and intellect and emotional IQ that Ed Markey has."
He saved some of his most biting rhetoric for the Republican Party.
"It's a pretty simple proposition: The United States of America, and the state of Massachusetts, does not need another Republican in the Senate," Biden said. "I'm being straight about this. This is not your father's Republican Party."
"They're not bad guys. They don't get it!" Biden added at another point. "But Ed does. In his gut, Ed gets it."
Biden was harshest when referring to two new Tea Party-backed senators, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas. "Think about this," he said. "Have you ever seen a time when two freshman senators are able to cower the bulk of the Republican Party in the Senate? That is not hyperbole."
"I actually said: 'Are you kidding? These are two freshman,' " Biden added. "This is a different, party, folks."
Markey was not there – he was debating Republican opponent Gabriel E. Gomez in Springfield – but Markey's wife, Susan Blumenthal, did attend.Matt Viser can be reached at email@example.com.

Citing Anti-Israel Bias, US Pulls Out of UN Cultural Heritage Agency
By Sam Dorman
October 12, 2017
On Thursday, the State Department told the head of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) that it would withdraw its membership but continue participating as "a non-member observer state."
According to reports from The Guardian and Associated Press, the United States was particularly perturbed by UNESCO's alleged anti-Israel bias.
Speaking to the AP, officials pointed to UNESCO blocking resolutions connecting holy sites to Jewish influence, as well as descriptions of Israel as occupying area of the Middle East.
In response, UNESCO's director-general lamented the U.S.'s decision as "a loss to both the organization and the U.S." The U.S.'s participation, Director-general Irina Bokova said, was of particular importance now given "the rise of violent extremism and terrorism."

In a global economy that has been plagued by troubles in the world's financial systems, the words "safe" and "bank" still give investors pause. The shakeup of banking systems around the world raises the question: "Which banks are the safest?"
For the past 20 years, Global Finance has compiled a list of the World's 50 Safest Banks, and in the current environment of increased regulation and oversight, long-term safety of banks is of key interest. According to Global Finance, the companies who ranked highly this year were the ones that "cleaned up their balance sheets and strengthened their capital positions."
This ranking of safe banks was created through the comparison of long-term credit ratings (from Moody's, Standard & Poor's, and Fitch) and analysis of total assets owned by the 500 largest banks in the world.
For ease of comparison, we've listed the highest-ranking bank in each country, since many of the highly ranked banks are headquartered in the same country.
It may be a surprise where you'll find the safest banks in the world. Click ahead to for the list!

Lip Ink lip stain in Red
This one is my favourite beauty product of all, by miles and miles.
I discovered Lip Ink through the recommendation by Miss Amanda Lee and it was love at first sight. Now, a year later, that love has only deepened. Now, I'm a girl who likes to wear red lips on a daily basis... But I also have a fairly busy life and I'm not generally a very high maintenance person. And, lets face it, no matter how good a lipstick, it is always a lot of work when you're a person who goes out a lot. Sick and tired of having to touch up my lipstick after every meal, I turned to Lip Ink - and never looked back. It lasts meals, drinks, making out, partying all day and night. I now have it in four different shades but my favourite is Red. It is a bright and sassy red, rather similar to MAC's Ruby Woo. In all of 2011, I probably wore "real" lipstick twice. For these reasons and plenty more, Lip Ink is my #1 beauty product. I simply cannot recommend it enough.
L'Oreal Elnett Satin hairspray for Coloured Hair
Simply the best hairspray I ever came across. It keeps my hair feeling smooth instead of stiff whilst providing a good hold, even for more elaborate vintage 'dos. I also love that it is brushable.
KC Professional Color Mask in Pepper
Red hair, not the easiest of colours to maintain. Several people recommended this product to me when I first went red and had trouble maintaining the colour, and I've sworn by it ever since. Most of the tinted conditioners that I've tried don't really colour hair, per se. They just give you an extra shine, if even that. This mask is a tinting treatment for coloured hair that that gives a very strong, vivid colour almost equal to freshly dyed hair. Again, the Pepper shade is bright and sassy, just the way I like it. Now, this is a Finnish product so I'm not sure how it is stocked abroad. I just always stock up plenty when I go back to Finland myself. But be sure to check out their website if you're interested.
Schwarzkopf Live XXL hair dye in Real Red 35
I only had my hair dyed professionally for the first few years upon going red and I would most definitely recommend that for anyone making the transition to red (or basically any new colour). However, I can't afford that luxury at the moment so I've gone back to the box. I was scared that I wouldn't find a colour intense enough for my liking but Real Red is the kind of shade that I really like. My only complaint is that it fades faster than most of the salon dyes... But that isn't really a complaint since I can now afford to dye my hair as often as I like to keep it an intense red.
I love perfumes. To me a fragrance is part of a look; I don't feel as though I'm ready to go to unless I'm wearing a nice perfume. It just adds the final touch, if you will. Some people only stick with one perfume but I tend to have several on rotation to match my moods. My current favourite is Prada Candy.

Dustin Keller got just 1 year / 4.25 million from the Dolphins. Would you guys be interested in Fred Davis to the Hawks for a deal similar to that? When healthy, he is extremely explosive for a TE and would give the Hawks a lethal 2 TE set with Miller. I like McCoy as a solid if unspectacular all around TE but Davis brings a whole new level of pass catching ability.
The longer he is on the market the more of a possibility it becomes I would think, and that Keller deal seems very team friendly. For the record, I'd rather see a DT like Branch signed before anything else though.

CBC Associate Director Felicity Arengo Profiled in New Conservation Book main content.
by AMNH on
For her research on flamingos, Felicity Arengo, associate director of the Museum's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation, has been profiled in Wildlife Heroes, a new book by Julie Scardina and Jeff Flocken. Combining photographs and fun facts with tales from the field, Wildlife Heroes features 40 conservationists dedicated to saving some of Earth's diverse wildlife.
Arengo's fieldwork has taken her across South America, from high-altitude lakes to fertile lowlands. "Flamingos are adapted to environments described as 'inhospitable,'" says Arengo. "They live in landscapes of extreme salt, wind, sun, and high altitudes." It takes a dedicated team to follow the birds and track their numbers.
Arengo's research includes monitoring flamingo populations with the Grupo de Conservación de Flamencos Altoandinos (GCFA), or High Andes Flamingo Conservation Group. This initiative is establishing a network of the most critical sites for flamingo conservation, working with rangers, community members, and management authorities to protect these areas while coordinating a census of flamingos throughout their range every five years.
In Wildlife Heroes, Scardina and Flocken highlight the importance of flamingos in wetland ecosystems. The GCFA has engineered a regional conservation plan that designates flamingos as a flagship species for saving these environments; by rallying support for the popular pink bird, a whole web of wetland organisms can be conserved.

(CNN) -- Getting children to eat their veggies may be as simple as a good marketing strategy, says a new study.
"Marketing, when it comes to kids and food, tends to have a negative connotation," said David Just, a professor of behavioral economics at Cornell University and a co-author of the study. "What we've been doing is trying to establish whether it's possible to use marketing to get kids to eat healthier foods."
The plan? Just give vegetables catchy new names, and see what happens.
Don't like regular carrots? How about X-ray vision carrots?
Broccoli is gross? Well, can I interest you in some tiny tasty treetops?
That worked, seriously? "One kid we met, his parents had told him to pretend he was a dinosaur eating trees," said Just, "and it actually got him to eat broccoli."
After a few small but successful experiments, Just and his co-author, noted food researcher Brian Wansink, applied the theory at local elementary schools.
"By changing the carrots to X-ray vision carrots, a whopping 66% were eaten," according to the text of the report, "far greater than the 32% eaten when labeled 'food of the day,' and 35% eaten when unnamed."
The next study took on broccoli and green beans.
"The results were outstanding: Vegetable purchases went up by 99% in the (study) school, while in the (control) school, vegetable sales declined by 16%," according to the report.
Sometimes the simple solutions are the best solutions, Just says.
"These things are just basic tools in marketing. These things are well-known by people who try to market less healthy foods to our kids," he said. "Why not use these things to get our kids to eat health foods? We've got to use every tool and trick at our disposal."
And the best part, he says: This simple name change costs absolutely nothing.
"We've reached out to about 13,000 schools thus far, but we're trying to roll this out as far as we can," he said. "We're asking anybody who will listen to us to give it a shot."

Cuccinelli book: No apologies
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has no intention of modulating his uncompromising conservatism to get elected governor. He just needs to explain it better than others have.
(Also on POLITICO: The GOP's Virginia problem)
Story Continued Below
That's the unmistakable message of the Republican gubernatorial candidate's new book — a 252-page tea party jeremiad of blistering attacks on government in general and President Barack Obama in particular that could make it difficult to broaden his appeal to the kinds of voters he needs to win in November.
"One reason the American people got stuck with Obamacare was due to a devolution in American thinking over time that it was the government's job to provide health care for those who couldn't afford it on their own," he explains. "But taking care of the poor is ideally the province first of families, churches, and charities, not the government. In fact, public charity was never supposed to be a function of the federal government."
The firebrand conservative cites a speech James Madison delivered in 1794 to burnish his argument against the government safety net.
"Despite spending trillions on federal welfare programs since President Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty began in 1964, poverty is — sadly — alive and well in America," Cuccinelli continues. "How many more years of going down the same path do we need before we call this approach a failure?"
"If instead of spending all this money on social service programs, the government left all those dollars in the hands of the taxpayers," he adds, "Americans would have more money to donate to private charities and churches, just as they did in the 1980s when Ronald Reagan simplified the tax structure and lowered tax rates."
"The Last Line of Defense" presents Republican state attorney generals as the last line of defense for liberty. It's packed with dire warnings about "the big-government leviathan," "government diktats on every sector of our economy" and "big-government statists."
The book comes out on Feb. 12, but POLITICO obtained an advance copy on Wednesday.
In the acknowledgements, Cooch – as the 44-year-old is commonly called – praises the tea party: "I truly appreciate their commitment to first principles."
He recalls his mother being hospitalized for six months when he was a boy in the 1970s when his family did not have health insurance.

Body of missing Pennsylvania man, 87, found on his farm
CONESTOGA, Pa. – The body of an 87-year-old Conestoga man who wandered away from his home has been found on his farm.
Police says John Kilheffer, who suffered from the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, was found shortly before 10 a.m. Thursday, a day after he went missing.
The (Lancaster) Intelligencer Journal reports that about 120 people searched for Kilheffer in the woods, fields and hills near his farm until late Wednesday. The search resumed on Thursday.
His body was found about 400 yards north of his house in an area with tall grass.
Said Southern Regional police Chief John Fiorill: "Unfortunately the weather conditions -- the rain, the snow and the wind -- and his age, especially, were just factors that were against him."

Editor's note: This piece is part of a CNN.com series about storytelling and reporting skills called iReport Boot Camp. In this edition, CNN.com Senior Supervising Producer Manuel Perez shares his advice on picking a great story. Read up, then give Perez's advice a try in this week's iReport Boot Camp challenge.
(CNN) -- Stories are a basic part of being human. No matter our background, our age, what we do for a living or where we live, everyone enjoys a good story.
Whether it's a story told among friends or family, or a story we're reading, or seeing in photographs or video, a story can make us laugh or cry, anger us or comfort us. Sometimes, it can fascinate us by telling us something that we didn't know before. And often, we'll want to share it by telling others about it.
It's that ability to stir a response that can make a story memorable, whether it's a story you're telling your friends, or a story you're posting to iReport.
We'd love to hear your story. With that in mind, here are some simple thoughts you can use to help make your story for iReport boot camp one that others will want to share.
Care about it
The best stories are always about things that matter to you, whether you're the one hearing the story or the one telling it. So choose topics you feel a connection to when you're picking the type of story you want to tell. It can be about anything -- from your take on a big national or world story, to something closer to home such as your neighborhood, your family, a trip you took this summer, how to make a great bowl of chili or even your childhood memories. What matters is not just the subject, but how much the subject matters to you. If you care about it, chances are you'll be able to get others interested in the story.
Know your stuff
Find out as much as you can about your subject. Not just facts and figures, but take some time to find different points of view and opinions. You can do this through research or by talking to people who are experts or have had personal experiences with what you're writing about. Chances are you'll learn something new, be able to ask better questions during your reporting and be able to bring more authority to your storytelling. Often, you'll find that what you learn leads you to different approach for the story than what you were initially thinking.
Put your audience 'in' the story
In many cases, your story will be more interesting if you can bring it to life. Video, photos and graphics are great ways to do that. You can also convey a sense of place, or someone's personality, or a mood through writing that captures the right details and observations. Avoid generalizations and vagueness.
Make it personal
Another way to put your audience in the story is to tell the story through the eyes of people who have a direct connection with the story you're telling, and letting them tell the story. Stories about the economy, for example, are often much more interesting if we can see how people are being affected. A story about what the war in Afghanistan is like is always stronger when we hear it from someone who is there on the ground. If we really want to know how bad it was in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, what better way to do so than to hear directly from the people who lived through it?
Put your stamp on it
When talking with your friends, you probably would tailor your voice in different ways depending on the type of story you're telling. You would tell them a sad story, for example, in a different way than you would tell them a funny story. In the same way, you should think about what "voice" or tone you want to use for your iReport depending on what it's about. Bring your personality to it. This is an opportunity to be creative, and it's also a key way to bring out that emotional response in our audience and make your story memorable.
Tell your story
Keeping an audience interested in a story is always a challenge, especially when you are picking a topic that has to be relevant seven weeks from now. So remember to keep your audience in mind when you pick a story to cover. Think about things that still will have interest at that time. Think about what angle you can take on a story about which people will be able to relate.

Competency evaluation ordered in murder trial of 'Hiccup Girl' in a Florida courtroom
CLEARWATER, Fla. – A court psychologist is performing a last-minute competency evaluation on a Florida woman who gained fame because of her uncontrollable hiccupping and was later charged with murder.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys were about to start presenting their cases Wednesday morning against 22-year-old Jennifer Mee. But Mee's attorney says he recently discovered that she was schizophrenic, and the judge ordered the evaluation.
She's charged in the 2010 death of Shannon Griffin in St. Petersburg. Prosecutors say Mee lured Griffin to a home under the pretense of buying marijuana — but instead, two of Mee's friends robbed him at gunpoint. Griffin was shot several times.
As a teen, Mee suffered from prolonged hiccups of up to 50 a minute in 2007. Videos of her hiccupping gained her national attention.

Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier
French, 1815–1891
The Painter in his Studio, 1872
oil on canvas
34.5 x 26.9 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mrs. R.A. Purves
Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier received critical acclaim after submitting his first work to the Paris Salon in 1834 at age 19. Initially trained as an engraver and illustrator, Meissonier later became a specialist in conversation pieces, producing small-scale pictures featuring popular genre scenes and costume dramas intended for domestic spaces. Highly popular among European collectors, his paintings feature elaborate interiors, with detailed furnishings and meticulously dressed subjects, capturing the elegance and charm of France in the late nineteenth century. The WAG picture shows an artist at work in his studio attended by three fashionably attired gentlemen who appear very interested in the work in progress on the easel.

We have implemented three improvements on our slings, regarding the labels for periodic inspection, new fabrics and the Quick Reference Guides for the basic models.
Labels for Periodic Inspection A label for periodic inspection is already in use, meaning that it is easier to mark that performed inspection has been made on the sling. One simply punches in a box for current month and year, which is the biggest advantage. Making a hole/Punching in the current date insures that the text does not risk disappearing in the wash. An improvement will shortly be made regarding individual marking, when a separate label with space for 5 different names will be sewn onto the sling.
New MaterialIn order to obtain a better-looking design on our slings with corduroy details, we have changed the colour of the material to a grey nuance. This mainly concerns slings intended for hygiene situations and the Sabina SupportVest (model 91).
Quick Reference Guides Basic ModelsFor many years, we have had reference guides for most of our mobile and ceiling lifts. Now we also have a Quick Reference Guide for the basic sling models Original Sling (model 10/11), Universal Sling and Universal High Level Sling (model 00/02), Original High Back Sling and Soft Original High Back Sling (model 20/21/26). The Quick Reference Guide can be found under the appropriate sling model on the web for printing. If you wish a laminated Quick Reference Guide, it will also be available for ordering.
From the very beginning consideration for those for whom we develop our products has been our most important guiding-star. Our concept reflects our vision in our daily activity - always to improve life quality for patients and caregivers globally.

In the Thatampally district of Alleppey town itself, this homestay is an elegant house in a leafy residential street. It is just 5 minutes walk from a canal where houseboats cruise sail through the backwaters. Mr. and Mrs. Vinod are the hosts, who live with their two children and grandparents in this house. They are a charming traditional family who enjoy going to Alleppey's long white sand beach (2km away), watching Hindi films together and playing badminton. The family goes back 5 generations in Alleppey and are the perfect guides for a visitor wanting to do more than just the tourist trails; they can give an insight into the city from a local's point of view.
Moreover, this is the true experience of living with an Indian family as the guests occupy comfortably furnished rooms in the house itself. This gives the stay an informal aura as you can really get to know the family, whilst enjoying as much privacy as you like. Mrs. Vinod is a dietician, so expect wonderfully nutritious Indian food; her star dish is the roast duck. There is a sports ground just around the corner where guests can play badminton, basketball and tennis. Also, the family are keen to show their guests local walks or cycle rides around the town; they can even take them to some shops where they can get good bargains. This homestay is a great stepping off point to explore beautiful backwaters of Alleppey and staying with the Vinods' greatly enhances charm of the place.

It was pricey as compared to amenities/food provided for B/F. Enough beddings were not provided/available for 4 members. This was the basic need for any Homestay facility. Pl. look into what B/F menu is provided, it was only omelet & no jam, other items available . As well Tea was served same time around when omelet was served. And the children around the place were too noisy disturbing the quiet surroundings..Basics need to be looked into as I have booked another group in last month of November at the sme place.

A variety of memory and logic devices, including DRAM (dynamic random access memory), SDRAM (synchronous dynamic random access memory), Flash memory (NAND or NOR), CPU (central processing unit), GPU (graphics processing unit), etc., are widely used in computers, digital music players, gaming devices and mobile internet devices. For instance, since SDRAM was introduced to computers, further generations of SDRAM (DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3) have entered the mass market, with DDR4 currently being designed and anticipated to become available in the coming years.
Thin wafer handling is a very versatile technology used in various semiconductor manufacturing processes such as 3D IC stacking and the production of CMOS image sensors, MEMS, LED and power devices. Thin wafer handling capabilities generally enable the handling wafers during backside grinding, where the substrate is thinned down to the single digit micrometer scale, as well as the subsequent backside processing, without any damages to the wafer. EV Group supports two different approaches to accomplish it. The first approach is enabled by dedicated direct handling technologies, e.g., thin wafer robot end-effectors. The second approach is based on temporary bonding and debonding technology.
The thick and rigid device wafer is bonded onto a carrier substrate before the thinning step is performed. Now the setup is similar to a SEMI standard wafer and the backside of the device wafer can be processed. Afterwards the thin device wafer is debonded from the carrier wafer and unloaded to the desired output format. (e.g., film frame). This approach offers the tremendous advantage that thinned wafers can be processed in tools designed for wafers which have the SEMI standard thickness, thereby saving the costs for reconfiguration of these tools and guaranteeing highest flexibility for the customer.Please see our related products EVG®850TB and EVG®850DB for detailed information.

text: CANNES, France - To have one film competing at the Cannes Film Festival is a privilege. To have two, Matthew McConaughey says, is wonderful good fortune - and the reward for a spell of hard labor in the trenches of independent cinema.In Lee Daniels' steamy Southern noir "The Paperboy," McConaughey plays a journalist who returns to his Florida hometown to investigate a murder.In Jeff Nichols' "Mud," which screened Saturday as the festival's final competition entry, he is a story-spinning fugitive holed up on an island in the Mississippi who is befriended by two local boys.McConaughey laughs when asked if having two movies competing for the Palme d'Or gives him divided loyalties."That would be a high-class problem," he said. "I'm really, really endeared to both of them for different reasons - and they're very, very different from each other."I'm very honored. I've got two films that I'm proud of, two experiences that I really loved, and I've got two characters that I really care about."The two films take the Texas-born actor on a tour of the U.S. South - and of men on society's margins.In "The Paperboy," McConaughey's Ward James is a crusading reporter with dark depths to his psyche that imperil his quest for the truth.His title character in "Mud" is being hunted as a dangerous fugitive, but may be a wild innocent driven by love.Critics have hailed McConaughey's turn in "Mud," and director Daniels said he was wowed by McConaughey's nuanced performance in "The Paperboy.""I'm so happy that he's so understated in the film," Daniels said. "There were moments when I didn't recognize Matthew."McConaughey said the roles were the result of a decision to "shake things up" in a career that has seen him take leads in a mixed bag of romcoms ("Failure to Launch," "Fool's Gold") - and, as he noted at Cannes, play lots of lawyers, in films from "A Time to Kill" to "The Lincoln Lawyer.""I was looking for some characters that didn't necessarily pander to convention, or even didn't pander to plot," he said, long legs stretched out on a sofa in a Cannes hotel. "They're all kind of characters that live on the fringe, on the outskirts of society. But they're really human characters."What I was really looking for is some things where I could hang my hat and be the architect of my man, and it's based on humanity and reality. It's not based on morality or on good or bad or right and wrong."That's where the similarities end between his two Cannes films. "The Paperboy" takes a Pete Dexter crime novel and mixes in director Daniels' fascination with shifting sexual and racial allegiances.In "Mud," Arkansas-born director Nichols creates an affecting coming-of-age story with echoes of Mark Twain, rooted in the landscape of his home state."Lee is very different from Jeff Nichols," McConaughey said. "Lee's not a linear thinker at all. Jeff Nichols was very linear - he wrote the script, wrote each word on purpose, and would be editing in his head after he thought he'd got his take."Lee grabbed this book but created his own world."McConaughey's Cannes double-header is the product of remarkable year of work that saw him shoot five independent films with strikingly different directors.As well as "The Paperboy" and "Mud," he was a sheriff in Richard Linklater's dark comedy "Bernie," a club owner in Steven Soderbergh's male-stripper movie "Magic Mike" and a hitman in William Friedkin's thriller "Killer Joe."The 42-year-old actor has never been busier - or, it seems, happier."I fired out of bed every morning so excited, and a little scared about going to work, but excited to go and get into it," he said. "I love the energy of an independent film. Time is so precious. There's no go-back-to-the-trailer time. It's a very vital experience, and I like that."It was also an education in modern American cinema from five filmmakers with strong personal styles."Friedkin, you'd do one take, maybe two," McConaughey said. "Usually one. Soderbergh: minimalist. He's more of a shaper."With Linklater - this was our third time working together. We do all this character work together. ... We have a shorthand together."McConaughey will find out Sunday, when the film festival wraps up, whether either of his Cannes films has taken a prize.Next up, he hopes, is "The Dallas Buyers' Club," a drama based on a true story about illegal AIDS drugs in the 1980s that he's long sought to make with director Jean-Marc Vallee."I never had a rule on what to do, just keep trying to do different things," he said. "But it's got to be more than that. I was instinctually drawn to this kind of material where I was not necessarily drawn to some other comedies or things that I've done in the past."I'm more fulfilled with the work probably than I've ever been, and more turned on by it, and I hope that continues."---Jill Lawless can be reached athttp://Twitter.com/JillLawless

Ever thought that dads these days just have it too easy with all that time off they get when their kids are born? That childbirth and rearing is the realm of the mother? That, when it comes down to it, there's just not that much for a dad to do in the days and months following the birth of a child?
Good news: you're not alone.
The bad news: with company that talks as much as NY-based sports radio personality Mike Francesa, you might wish you were.
Here are a few highlights of a recent 20-minute segment of his show that Francesa dedicated to discussing paternity leave in general (although he referred to all parental leave as "maternity leave" until corrected at around 15 minutes into the segment), and the paternity-leave decisions of NY Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy in particular.
On fathers spending time at the hospital with their partner and newborn child:
"I have no problem with being there [at the birth]. I don't know why you need three days off. I'm going to be honest. You see the birth, and you get back [to work]."
"What are you doing the first couple of days? Maybe you take care of your other kids—well you've gotta have someone do that if you're a Major League Baseball player."
On finding out that employees of the radio station hosting his show are entitled to 10 days of paternity leave:
"That's ridiculous. What do you need 10 days for? What are you supposed to be doing? Vacationing?"
On finding out that those 10 days can be used over a period of one year from the birth:
"What a gimmick."
"If you're not taking them right away, then why are you getting them? What are they for? I mean, if you don't have to be there at the time for 10 days, why would you get 10 days off when your wife has a baby. You didn't have the baby."
Some of Francesa's suggestions for how men might use those days:
Bonding with their child and playing a full and active role in its life.
Participating equally in childcare and other household activities.
Staying home when the child is sick, so that the mother can go to work.
Just kidding—here are three things he actually said that men might do with those days off instead:
"Have a party."
"Take pictures."
The full clip is below. For a fun party game, you might want to try and count how many times Francesa says "back in the old days" and "I don't get it."

UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones (16-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) and former middleweight title challenger Chael Sonnen (28-12-1 MMA, 6-5 UFC) will serve as coaches on "The Ultimate Fighter 17" on FX.
The coaching assignments, as well as an April 27 fight date, today were confirmed by the Los Angeles Times.
Due to his coaching duties, Sonnen no longer will fight Forrest Griffin (19-7 MMA, 10-5 UFC) at UFC 155 in December.
"TUF 17" filming begins Oct. 29, and the show then debuts on FX in January. The 17th edition of the UFC's long-running reality series is expected to feature middleweight and light-heavyweight fighters. Open tryouts for the tournament-based competition and show recently drew more than 120 UFC hopefuls.
Jones and Sonnen will serve as head coaches of opposing teams. As with past seasons of "TUF," their coach-vs.-coach fight will headline a pay-per-view event soon after the series' 12-week run on FX.
Sonnen, who suffered a second loss to middleweight champion Anderson Silva in his most recent bout, was targeted for a late-notice light-heavyweight fight with Jones at UFC 151. However, when Jones declined to take the fight on eight days' notice following an injury to original opponent Dan Henderson, UFC officials ultimately canceled the Sept. 1 show outright.
Although Jones said he offered to fight Sonnen a few weeks later at UFC 152, officials instead paired him up with Lyoto Machida and then ultimately Vitor Belfort, whom he submitted in the fourth round.
But since the UFC 151 cancellation, Sonnen hasn't missed an opportunity to call out Jones, even though he's currently booked to fight light heavyweight Forrest Griffin at UFC 155 in December.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Jones recently tweeted that he was warming up to the idea of fighting Sonnen.
"The more I realize how bad the fans want to see me fight Sonnen the more I am beginning to disregard whether he deserves it or not," Jones recently tweeted. "A part of me wants to do it for the fans. The other part of me feels as if it delegitimizes the importance of (the) championship."

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. - Alvin Smothers, the man that was convicted for his role in a 2015 fatal shooting and robbery gone wrong involving an NYPD officer in Mount Vernon has been sentenced to 15 years in state prison.
Gunshots rang out on a Mount Vernon street in August 2015 as the NYPD investigated a reported illegal firearms operation. During the shootout, a 61-year-old victim was struck by a stray bullet and would eventually die from his wounds at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx.
Smothers was acquitted of a murder charge in July, but was found guilty of second-degree robbery in Westchester County Court. He was sentenced to the maximum term of 15 years.
According to reports, an undercover NYPD officer met with the illegal gun dealer in the Bronx before driving to Mount Vernon and demanding cash. Smothers then made off with an undisclosed amount of money and a chase ensued when officers notified backup crews.
Smothers, a New Jersey native, pointed his weapon at officers and was struck three times. His victim, who was standing behind him, was fatally shot. Bronx resident Jeffrey Aristy, 30, was the target of the sting operation, and was also arrested on charges of criminal sale of a controlled substance and criminal sale of firearms after selling more than two dozen illegal guns to undercover officers.

Eagle McGovern wins back coach's trust
You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.
Luckily for West Coast forward Jeremy McGovern, it's the second impression that matters most to rookie coach Adam Simpson.
McGovern was the first player to enter Simpson's bad books after rocking up to day one of pre-season training with high skin fold levels.
The 22-year-old also struggled in a series of 1 kilometre time trials, and he was promptly ordered to train away from the main group until his fitness improved.
McGovern worked hard to get back in shape, and some hot form for East Perth has earned him an AFL debut for Saturday's clash with Carlton at Etihad Stadium.
"He's come a long way pretty quickly under my watch," Simpson said of McGovern, who was snared with pick No.44 in the 2011 rookie draft.
"He did come back out of shape for pre-season, which was really disappointing. The first impression wasn't a great one.
"But he did a little bit of work away from the club with (Mark) Nicoski and came back in really good nick just before Christmas. "Then his performance took over. He's dominating (at) East Perth at the moment."
With skipper Darren Glass missing through suspension, McGovern is likely to be thrust in a defensive role, but the 195cm utility can also play as a marking target up forward.
Rebounding defender Xavier Ellis (calf) will join Glass on the sidelines, while Carlton will be without skipper Chris Judd (hamstring), Ed Curnow (fibula) and Tom Bell (finger).
West Coast (3-2) are eager to bounce back from consecutive losses, while the Blues (1-4) will be aiming to follow up from last week's gutsy win over the Bulldogs.
Eagles forward Josh Kennedy booted 1.5 in last week's loss to Port Adelaide, but Simpson was confident the waywardness was nothing more than an off night.

Individual Workshop Descriptions
1. Introducing our Literary Community
2. Encouraging Discussion
3. Going Further in Discussion
4. Diversity in Texts
5. Student Diversity
6. Literature, Art, and Other
7. Assessment
8. Planning and Professional Development
9. Starting in September …
Successful Workshop Sessions
These guidelines will help you conduct successful workshop
sessions, particularly the Getting Ready and Going Further
segments. These 30-minute, pre- and post-video group discussions
will help participants better understand the video programs
and enhance the workshop experience. Getting Ready prepares
participants for what to focus on during the video programs
and Going Further provides the opportunity to analyze and
reflect on what they saw.
Designate Responsibilities
Each week, someone should be responsible for facilitating
the workshop sessions. This may be the registered "site
leader" or another volunteer, or you may choose to divide
and rotate duties among several participants. For the purposes
of these instructions, we will refer to the site leader as
facilitating the sessions.
Prepare for the Session and Bring the Necessary Materials
The site leader should review the entire session in this guide
before arriving for the session, as well as reviewing the
Materials Needed for that session. The site leader will be
responsible for bringing enough materials for the participants.
If you are viewing the video programs on videocassette/DVD, the
site leader may want to preview the programs.
Before the First Session
You may want to photocopy this guide for all participants
so they may follow along, refer back to ideas covered in the
session, or have their homework assignments handy. Or, you
may direct them to the workshop Web site to print the guide themselves (direct them to "Support
Materials"). Either way, you will want participants to
have the guide before the first session, so they will come
prepared. Be sure participants know:
Keep an Eye on the Time
We have suggested the amount of time you should spend on each
question or activity.
Record Your Discussions
We recommend that someone take notes during each discussion,
or even better, that you tape-record the discussions. The
notes or audiotapes can serve as make-up materials in case
anyone misses a workshop.
Share Your Discussions on the Web
The workshop sessions serve as a starting point to share and
think about the workshop ideas. Encourage participants to
continue their discussions with participants from other sites
on Teacher-Talk at the workshop Web site.
Materials needed
You will need to assemble the following materials to help
you in using these video clips in a professional development

This issue contains six diverse contributions on topics ranging from prostitution to rent control, unfair dismissals, civil liberties in Zimbabwe, prospecting rights and insolvency issues. The first article is from Sarah Pudifin (pupil advocate at the KwaZulu-Natal Bar) and Shannon Bosch(senior lecturer in law at the University KwaZulu-Natal), who examine countervailing South African public opinion on the subject of prostitution and identify the factors which might influence these attitudes. Sue-Mari Maass of the University of South Africa in the second article gives a comparative analysis of rent control measures imposed in various jurisdictions (South Africa, New York and England) to provide tenure protection for vulnerable tenants. The third article is from Stella Vettori, also of the University of South Africa, who discusses the role of human dignity in the assessment of fair compensation for unfair dismissals. The authors of the fourth article are Jephias Mapuva and Loveness Muyengwa-Mapuva. They discuss key legislation within the areas of media and access to information, individual rights and freedoms, as well as legislation pertaining to the conduct of elections in Zimbabwe. The issue concludes with two case notes. The first one is from Tracy-Lynn Humby of the University of the Witwatersrand. She writes about the conflict between two empowerment firms, Bengwenyama Minerals (the investment vehicle of the Bengwenyama-ye-Maswazi community) and Genorah Resources, which culminated in three judgments, termed the "Bengwenyama trilogy" by the author. Her focus is on the right of a community to prospect or mine and the protection thereof during mining activities. The second note, written by Loma Steyn of the University of South Africa, considers case law which deals with the interface between the National Credit Act 34 of 2005 and the Insolvency Act 24 of 1936. The question in all three cases she discusses was whether or not a debtor's application for debt review constitutes an act of insolvency which can be relied upon by a debtor in an application for the compulsory sequestration of the debtor's estate.
