For decades, the court has struggled with quantitative evidence of all kinds in a wide variety of cases. Sometimes justices ignore this evidence. Sometimes they misinterpret it. And sometimes they cast it aside in order to hold on to more traditional legal arguments.
My favorite part is where the more mathematically complex you make something, the more Constitutional it is. This relationship isn't lost in lobbyists and lawmakers, so it's a perverse incentive. Wanna win something controversial? Only use legalese that causes mathematical changes.
My least favorite part is the conclusion.
These are all really smart people, and they are purposely pretending to be idiots in order to win an argument (and set precedent forever)."I don't put much stock in the claim that the Supreme Court is afraid of adjudicating partisan gerrymanders because it's afraid of math," Daniel Hemel, who teaches law at the University of Chicago, told me. "[Roberts] is very smart and so are the judges who would be adjudicating partisan gerrymandering claims — I'm sure he and they could wrap their minds around the math. The 'gobbledygook' argument seems to be masking whatever his real objection might be."
If you think this only as you edge cases or really fancy maths, you'd be surprised just how simple it could be. In a campaign contribution case, the judges ignored a simple math problem: does matching contributions correlate or affect private donations? The studies show that it didn't, but the justices ignored it and ruled matching against matching contributions in that case.

The Ontario government will be introducing legislation that would end the college labour dispute and return Ontario college students to the classroom. The legislation would require Ontario's 24 colleges to resume operations, ensuring students are able to complete their academic studies.
If passed, the legislation would require the current strike at Ontario's colleges to be terminated, and prevent any additional strikes or lock-outs arising from the dispute until a new collective agreement is signed. Striking college workers would be required to return to their jobs.
The proposed legislation governs the labour dispute between the College Employer Council, acting on behalf of the employer, and the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) college academic unit. All outstanding issues would be referred to binding mediation-arbitration. The College Employer Council and OPSEU would have five days to agree on a mediator-arbitrator, or one would be appointed by the Minister of Labour.
The government has also instructed colleges to establish a dedicated fund with all savings from the strike. The fund will be used to support students who have experienced financial hardships as a result of the strike and its parameters will be developed in direct consultation with students.
"Through all of this, our focus has been on students and their learning. We want to see students back in the classroom as quickly as possible to continue their education. Our government respects and believes in the collective bargaining process; however, unfortunately, in this case the parties reached an impasse after a five-week strike. We must act now to get hundreds of thousands of students back in class."
"We are very disappointed that the parties were not able to resolve this contract dispute. It is clear that students have borne the brunt of this situation. And now after five weeks out of class, a significant number of students face the risk of not completing their academic studies if the strike were to continue. The public interest requires the government to take action to end the strike."

Saint Agnes of Rome

- 21 January
- for many years there was a second feast on 28 January
Foster-sister of Saint Emerentiana. At age 12 or 13 Agnes was ordered to sacrifice to pagan gods and lose her virginity by rape. She was taken to a Roman temple to Minerva (Athena), and when led to the altar, she made the Sign of the Cross. She was threatened, then tortured when she refused to turn against God. Several young men presented themselves, offering to marry her, whether from lust or pity is not known. She said that to do so would be an insult to her heavenly Spouse, that she would keep her consecrated virginity intact, accept death, and see Christ. Martyr. Mentioned in first Eucharistic prayer. On her feast day two lambs are blessed at her church in Rome, Italy and then their wool is woven into the palliums (bands of white wool) which the pope confers on archbishops as symbol of their jurisdiction.

Christ made my soul beautiful with the jewels of grace and virtue. I belong to Him whom the angels serve. – Saint Agnes
Today is the birthday of a virgin; let us imitate her purity. It is the birthday of a martyr; let us offer ourselves in sacrifice. It is the birthday of Saint Agnes, who is said to have suffered martyrdom at the age of twelve. There was little or no room in that small body for a wound. Yet she shows no fear of the blood-stained hands of her executioners. She offers her whole body to be put to the sword by fierce soldiers. She is too young to know of death, yet is ready to face it. Dragged against her will to the altars, she stretches out her hands to the Lord int he midst of the flames, making the triumphant sign of Christ the victor on the altars of sacrilege. She puts her neck and hands in iron chains, but no chain can hold fast her tiny limbs. In the midst of tears, she sheds no tears herself. She stood still, she prayed, she offered her neck. You could see fear in the eyes of the executioner, as if he were the one condemned. His right hand trembled, his face grew pale as he saw the girl's peril, while she had no fear for herself. One victim, but a twin martyrdom, to modesty and religion; Agnes preserved her virginity and gained a martyr's crown. – from an essay by Saint Ambrose of Milan

Under the leadership of the EU, the Organisation put in place all necessary tools to ensure its efficient functioning, paved the way for a proper Compliance and Monitoring system and adopted binding measures on Jack Mackerel, based on scientific advice.
The European Commission welcomes the clear institutional framework which has been put in place; this will allow focusing and progressing on future priorities, notably in the scientific and compliance areas where clear roadmaps for future work have been adopted under the impulse of the EU. The European Commission is pleased that a binding measure for the management of the Jack Mackerel stocks has been adopted and is strongly committed to continue working in the future to establish more ambitious and precautionary measures to allow for a fast recovery of the stocks. Finally, the Commission welcomes the support to the measures proposed by the EU, notably on IUU.
The Commission of the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO) held its 1st annual meeting from 28 January to 1 February in Auckland, New Zealand. Built around a proposal by the EU, the SPRFMO adopted a binding Conservation and Management Measure (CMM) for Jack Mackerel, which is a good departure point for future work on this sensitive area. The Commission considers that the proposed TAC of 360.000 tonnes, in line with scientific advice, will allow for a recovery of the stock. However, a more precautionary approach, as suggested by the EU, would have allowed for a quicker recovery of the stock. The Commission laments the fact that it was not possible to include in the measure all Coastal States with an interest in the Jack Mackerel fishing in the region.
The European Commission also welcomes the support for its proposals on the IUU listing and for granting Cooperating non-Contracting Party status to those nations who are not yet members of the Convention. These measures will provide SPRFMO with a useful tool in the fight against IUU and will improve the efficiency of the Organisation. Clear priorities for the future work of the Scientific Committee and the Compliance and Technical Committee were adopted at the initiative of the European Commission.
The current signatories to the SPRFMO Convention are Australia, Chile, China, Colombia, Cook Islands, Ecuador, the European Union, Faroe Islands, France, Korea, New Zealand, Peru, Russia, Solomon Islands, Chinese Taipei, Tonga, the United States of America and Vanuatu.
The EU member states with fishing interests in the area are Poland, the Netherlands, Germany and Lithuania.

The five men charged last month with the brutal gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old female student on a bus in New Delhi have all pleaded "not guilty," the BBC reports, despite what prosecutors have described as a prodigious pile of evidence.
A sixth suspect, whose status as a minor police had been trying to verify, will be tried in juvenile court. Prosecutors, meanwhile, say that phone records and DNA make for a pretty strong case against the five men, who face the added disadvantage of widespread public outrage over what many see as an unwillingness among Indian officials to take sexual assault seriously. Thanks to the maelstrom of anger provoked by the gang rape case, however, the Indian government has been forced to reexamine its handling of sexual assault cases, and on Friday, India's cabinet approved most of the recommendations made by a commission set up to review sex crime laws after news broke of the Delhi rape case.

|Nepomuk Services, Nepomuk Server,Data Layout in Nepomuk
The ontology loader service maintains the ontologies in Nepomuk and allows to fetch ontologies from the internet. Normally applications should work with ontologies through the Nepomuk::Types API provided by libnepomuk which is part of the kdelibs.
See the Nepomuk Data Layout for details on how ontologies are stored in Nepomuk.
Nepomuk uses a set of pre-installed ontologies from the shared-desktop-ontologies project which are automatically read into the storage by this service.
The ontologies are stored in KDEDIR/share/apps/nepomuk/ontologies. Each ontology consists of two files: the ontology itself (in most cases a trig file) and a .ontology file describing the ontology. The latter is read by the service and used to find the ontology file which is then parsed, validated and updated in the Nepomuk Storage.
Installing new ontologies (in case an application needs them) is rather simple: write a .ontology file which contains at least the following fields:
For examples and ideas on how to install using cmake see the shared-desktop-ontology sources.
The Ontology service also allows to fetch new ontologies from the internet. The advantage of using the service in comparison to simply downloading and parsing is that the service performs some checks, makes sure the data is compatible with the Nepomuk system, and performs updates rather than just storing it in addition to old versions.
For this task the service provides a DBus interface named org.kde.nepomuk.OntologyManager which is exported at nepomukontologyloader:
QString findOntologyContext(QString uri)
Searches for the ontology with the provided namespace. If found the context (named graph) the ontology is stored in is returned.
void importOntology(QString url)
Import an ontology from the provided URL. All URLs suported by KIO can be used. This is an async method that will report its success through the following signals.
void ontologyUpdateFailed(QString uri, QString errorString)
Emitted if updating en ontology failed.
void ontologyUpdated(QString uri)
Emitted if updating an ontology was successful.
void updateAllLocalOntologies()
Forces the service to update all installed ontologies, even if they did not change.
void updateLocalOntologies()
Make the service update all installed ontologies that have changed. Normally there is no need to call this method as the service monitors all installed ontologies.

Pistons Revamping Frontcourt
Pistons Revamping Frontcourt
By Steve St-Pierre | @Steve_Courtside
Two days before the 2012 NBA Draft, the Pistons acquired swingman Corey Maggette from the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for veteran guard Ben Gordon and a first-round draft pick. Then, for the third straight season, a player projected to be a top-five draft pick fell to the Pistons as center Andre Drummond of Connecticut slid to No. 9. Detroit ended the evening by selecting Texas A&M small forward Khris Middleton and Missouri shooting guard Kim English in the second round at Nos. 39 and 44, respectively.
The Pistons have since also agreed to terms with 2011 second-round draft pick Kyle Singler, who spent last season playing in Spain, as well as free-agent Ukrainian center Vyacheslav Kravtsov. Both players are expected to officially sign contracts with the Pistons on July 11, when the NBA's moratorium period ends and free agents can officially join teams.
With the additions of Drummond and Kravtsov, the Pistons now have two legitimate centers, which means veteran Greg Monroe will likely play more minutes at power forward. Jason Maxiell, who started at power forward last season, had an option to opt out of his contract but has elected to play out the final season of his deal with Detroit. It's possible Maxiell could remain the starter, with Monroe shifting between power forward and center as Drummond and Kravtsov enter games from the bench.
Maggette, Singler and Middleton will join a crowded group at small forward that also includes starter Tayshaun Prince and reserves Jonas Jerebko and Austin Daye, though Jerebko and Singler can both swing over to power forward at times as well. The Pistons also have power forward Charlie Villanueva still under contract, though it's possible the team could decide to waive him via the amnesty clause, eliminating his salary from their cap while still paying him in full.
Currently, the Pistons have 15 players under contract when you include all five rookies: Drummond, Middleton, English, Singler and Kravtsov. Detroit also has three unrestricted free agents in Ben Wallace, Damien Wilkins and Vernon Macklin, who the team could have made a restricted free agent by making a qualifying offer but chose not to. Macklin will join the Pistons' Summer League team in hopes of a roster spot opening or being signed by another team, while Wilkins will likely sign elsewhere. Wallace is expected to announce his retirement this summer.
Detroit's backcourt appears set with Brandon Knight and Rodney Stuckey remaining in the starting lineup. Veteran Will Bynum will continue as Knight's backup at point guard while Maggette, Daye, Middleton and English could all see minutes at shooting guard behind Stuckey.
In all likelihood, the Pistons will look to make at least one more roster move before the offseason ends. The team will likely look to trade Villanueva and Daye in order to free up a roster spot for either Macklin and/or a veteran guard to spell Knight or Stuckey in the backcourt.
At least the Pistons' main goals this offseason have already been achieved. They have acquired a couple of young, promising centers up front to team up with Monroe. They have created cap space by ridding themselves of the disappointing Gordon and replacing him with a better fit in Maggette, who is playing on an expiring contract. They also secured a deal with Singler, who had excelled in Spain and was said to be contemplating staying there.
They won't quite be the cream of the crop in the NBA's Eastern Conference, but the Pistons have revitalized their roster. They're even younger now than they've been, but they'll be that much more entertaining in watching grow and develop into a potential contender.

Teens Born With HIV Are at Increased Risk of Heart Disease, Says NIH: Is Medication to Blame?
This article was reported by Medical Daily.
Medical Daily reported on a National Institutes of Health study of heart disease risk in HIV-positive adolescents. The researchers investigated 165 adolescents ages 15 and older who were born with HIV, as part of the Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study. The teens had received treatment with anti-HIV medications, including protease inhibitors, from birth.
The researchers measured participants' risk of heart disease using a sorting system called the Pathobiological Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth that examined cholesterol levels, blood-sugar levels, and other risk factors of heart disease. If a participant scored one or more, the researchers categorized the teen as having an 18-percent higher chance of plaque buildup in the coronary arteries and a 24-percent higher chance of buildup in the abdominal aorta. Of the participants, 48 percent scored one or more in the coronary artery measure and 24 percent scored one or higher in the abdominal aorta measure. The researchers noted that the scores were mostly due to high cholesterol levels. Other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure were not common.
The researchers concluded that a large number of HIV-positive adolescents seem to be at risk of cardiovascular disease later in life and advised healthcare providers to maintain the HIV treatment regimen for HIV-positive adolescents, carefully monitor their risk factors for heart disease, and encourage the adolescents to adopt measures that reduce the risk of heart disease.
The full report, "Aggregate Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Among Adolescents Perinatally Infected With the Human Immunodeficiency Virus" was published online in the journal Circulation (2013; doi: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.113.001978).

Las Vegas Themed Party Favors
The Hershey's Nuggets look like gold bullion to me so I thought that it would be appropriate for the occasion. I had an unused deck of playing cards laying around so I decided to use it to create a vessel to hold the "gold".
I used a rubber stamp to make tags and used a scallop paper punch to punch each of them out.
Double sided extra sticky tape was used to anchor the candy to the card and to each other. Holes were punched on both ends of the cards and a thin ribbon was threaded through to tie it together in a neat little bundle.
I absolutely love these simple Las Vegas style party favors and the best part of all is that they took under 2 hours to make.
Wishing you a fabulous weekend! Viva Las Vegas!

January seems the most appropriate time to review a cook book that teaches you how to make your own black pudding.
As I see the same usual miserable people around me, gloomily chewing on salad leaves in the belief that a few weeks observance before returning to GluttonyVille is somehow good for them, I am busy working out whether, sharing a house with other people, I can get away with making the kitchen look like an abattoir.
My inspiration for this gristly plan, which probably contravenes the contract I signed with the landlord, is Le Charcutier Anglais by Marc Frederic, a Northerner who swapped the gloom of the British Isles for years on the continent in France and Germany learning the secrets that allow them to make so many brilliant taste sensations from the humble pig.
They called (well the French anyway) him Le Charcutier Anglais and today he is based in Devon and travels the UK and mainland Europe teaching others his craft.
It was Marc, real name Mark Berry, who ran a butchery course I did around this time last year at Westaways HQ in Newton Abbot, where he impressed us all with his knowledge, skills and above all, patience. He showed us how to take half a pig and turn it into various hams, bacon, sausages, ribs etc.
It isn't your typical cook book; the first section gives guidance on how to butcher a pig carcass along the same lines as the lesson we were given, complete with tips on tools needed (including a bone saw). While not all readers, few even, will have the time, money or inclination to get into butchery on this scale it is an interesting look at the art of the professional butcher.
Where the book comes into its own is where he goes into how to use the various parts of the beastie you might have just dismembered.
From blood, through offal to pate and other preserved meats, the book is atreasure trove of methods and recipes that show how easy – though occasionally time consuming and/or messy) creating your own charcuterie products can be. The main focus is on pigs and dishes derived therefrom. But there are other meaty recipes on show as well.
What they show is that there really is no reason you cannot have a crack at doing these things yourself. Like me with my coppa ham you might bugger it up, but practice makes perfect!
When I finally found time to flick through the book it was one of those ones where you read a recipe and think: "I can do that. And that. And that. And that."
With one eye as always on my wallet (the raison d'etre for launching this blog in the first place), while Marc places emphasis on using quality meats, many of the recipes call for cheaper cuts of meat.
My favourite part is the pages devoted to making your own black pudding, be it the traditional British version, the French Boudin Noir or the German Blutwurst. I love black pudding, but how many people would consider making it themselves? Yet it is very easy, as the basic recipe shows, albeit with a possibility that those living with you might think you have become a serial killer – should you be able to find a butcher who can sell you blood in the first place.
Intermixed with the recipes are helpful times and tales from Marc's childhood and time working both in the UK and abroad, shot through with ribald and self-deprecating humour, which make the book as much fun to just sit back and read through as it is to use it to make recipes.
Now, off to find someone who will sell me six litres of pigs' blood. And then I shall paint the kitchen red.
Bon appetite.
You can find Marc Frederic on Twitter or on his blog or at his company website

Other models available
What is an O2 upgrade deal?
Already a happy O2 customer but want a new phone or a different tariff? Then upgrading is an option for you. Keep all of the existing benefits, like discounts and concert tickets with O2 priority, and free wi-fi on the move with O2 Wi-Fi, but get yourself a brand, spanking new handset and a tariff that suits your phone usage better.
Alternatively if you are on a different network but your contract is coming to an end, and the O2 perks are catching your eye you can 'upgrade' your phone/deals by signing up as a new customer and porting your existing number over to O2.
Check out what upgrades O2 is offering right now via our deals table.
Can I get a better deal by upgrading with my current network or by changing providers?
Even if you are very happy with your existing network provider, it is worth having a browse of what is currently on offer both on your current network and from other providers. There are often great deals and discounts to be found if you compare deals.
The best offers often go to new customers, and as you can port your existing mobile phone number over to a new phone/SIM (a.k.a. take your existing number with you) you may have nothing to lose by moving networks.
If you can't bear to leave your current provider then use our upgrade deals table for your provider to find and compare the best upgrade deals currently on the market. Choose from the drop down filter options to find the perfect upgrade deal for you.
Can I get an early upgrade on O2?
If you are an O2 Refresh customer, you can change phones whenever you want because on O2 refresh your bill is split into two parts: an Airtime Plan and a Phone plan.
The Airtime Plan is the part that covers all of your calls, texts and data, and the Phone Plan is the cost of the phone. So, if you want to upgrade to the latest phone on the market, you just need to pay off the Phone Plan, before you can upgrade, taking the remainder of your Airtime Plan with you.
Great for anyone who loves to have the very latest smartphone on the market.
If you are on a standard O2 contract you might still be able to upgrade early but you will have to pay a fee unless your contract is due to end in under 30 days.
Check your eligibility via your 'My O2' account.
Can I upgrade via mobilephonechecker?
Yep, even if you didn't sign up to your existing contract through us you can upgrade via this site.

Find a refurbished phone on O2
Find an o2 sim only deal
If you are still happy with your phone but are reaching the end of your contract and want a better deal then it is worth taking a look at SIM only deals. A SIM only deal, unsurprisingly, gets you a SIM but not a new phone. There are various SIM only options available from each network from fully unlimited minutes, texts and data for a set monthly amount; to pay as you go SIMs where you only pay for what you use.
If you want to stay flexible, a 30 day SIM contract - also known as a rolling contract - may be the best option for you.
Do I have to stay with my current network to upgrade?
You can also get a great new phone and deal by moving to a different network. Although this isn't the conventional meaning to the term 'upgrading', as you aren't sticking with the same provider, by porting your phone number across to the new network you can keep your contact details and still get a better phone and tariff.
What is o2's coverage like in my area?

Read the original story here in the Portland Business Journal.
It's last call for the University Place Hotel on the eastern edge of Portland State University.
Seven years after PSU paid $23 million for the 235-room hotel at 310 S.W. Lincoln St., the school wants to put its four acres to better use.
PSU selected Johnson-Reid, a Portland real estate development and land-use economics firm, to lead a yearlong, $150,000 study to establish a new vision for the property.
The site presents a unique opportunity for PSU.
It's rare that four acres of urban space with freeway access becomes available for development. Johnson-Reid's report, due next spring, also comes as PSU pursues a grand vision to enlarge its campus over the next two decades as enrollment ticks toward the 40,000 mark, from 30,000 today.
The plan, developed in 2010, calls for some 7 million square feet of new space. University Place will play a major role in that plan, whether it is redeveloped by PSU itself or a private development partner. The property is in the Portland Development Commission's North Macadam Urban Renewal Area.
PSU spokesman Scott Gallagher said the project will likely involve some sort of public-private partnership and a mixed-use development offering office, retail, residential, classroom or even hotel and convention space.
For now, there is only one certainty: The sprawling and outdated University Place Hotel isn't going to be part of it.
"It's a blank slate," Gallagher said.
Reluctant hotel operator
The hotel was constructed as a motor hotel in 1970. The three-story building is surrounded by a parking lot. PSU operates the hotel largely to generate revenue to help service the debt incurred when it bought the property from the PDC in 2004.
The property generated about $3.5 million in revenue in its 2011-2012 fiscal year. The occupancy rate in the first four months of 2013 was just shy of 30 percent. That's well below the 75.9 percent average occupancy rate posted by all downtown Portland hotels at the end of 2012.
While PSU never wanted to be in the hotel business, it had to put redevelopment plans on the back burner because of the recession and because other capital projects took precedence. Notably, it partnered with a private developer to construct an 860-bed student residence, University Pointe at College Station.
The new student residence took pressure off PSU to create more on-campus living space, freeing it to consider nonresidential uses for University Place.
PSU selected Johnson-Reid after four firms responded to a Request for Proposals issued earlier this year. TriMet is funding the study to help activate the area around its Lincoln Station Max stop, which is directly in front of the hotel's restaurant entrance.
The Max stop is part of the new Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail line now under construction.
An 'interesting' site
Principal Jerry Johnson called University Place one of the most interesting properties in Portland's Central Business District.
The site is in the transitional zone between downtown and South Waterfront. The new Max line will only bring more attention.
Jason Franklin, PSU's director of planning and design, said the property should be attractive to future developers.
It is easily accessible from I-405, sits between the South Waterfront and PSU and its neighborhood already is popular with both residents and businesses. Three high-rise condominiums flank it to the east and south; the Lovejoy Apartments are directly across the street and several downtown office complexes are just blocks away.
"I don't think you find sites that are nearly four acres with freeway access anymore," said Franklin.
Franklin said PSU hopes the Johnson-Reid study will build interest in the property among developers.
The Portland-Milwaukie line is expected to bring fresh demand for services when the 7.3-mile, $1.5 billion line opens in 2015.

Is Avatar making you sick, nauseated, and achey?
According to a health column in the New York Times, many viewers say that Avatar and other 3-D movies are causing headaches, blurred vision and motion sickness.
Studies have a simple answer: Watching 3-D movies make your eyes dance around in all kind of weird ways, which causes eye strain and "sensory conflict."
The Times says there might be no way to cure the 3-D sickness.
But film buffs who have sat through multiple screenings of "Avatar" say one trick is to avoid looking at unfocused parts of the scenes, which sounds a lot easier than it is.
Eventually, we'll be watching so many 3-D movies that maybe our eyes will evolve. We'll be able to watch them without pain. It really is the future!
Our advice for now? Take an Advil before you go see Clash of the Titans.

- Combine butter and sugar and beat with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 5 to 6 minutes, scraping the bowl once. Add eggs one at a time; beat well after each addition.
- With mixer at low speed, add flour mixture alternating with cocoa mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Scrape bowl occasionally. Batter will be thin.
- Divide batter evenly among pots to about three-quarters full. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place pots on baking sheet and bake 35 to 40 minutes, until cakes are springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and dry. Transfer to wire racks and cool completely in the flowerpots. Frost the top of each with Chocolate Frosting, if desired.
Note: The cake batter fills two 8-inch layer cake pans, if you prefer. Bake the cake layers 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on wire racks and fill and frost as desired.

Hillary Clinton's office denies that Senator Clinton placed a hold on the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, one of President Bush's choices for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. But someone did, and until that Senator steps forward, it's reasonable to suspect that Hillary is behind it, and that this is an act of retaliation for Kavanaugh's role in Ken Starr's investigation.
Meanwhile, as far as I can tell, the MSM continues to show no interest in the possibility that the leading contender for the Democratic nomination is seeking to punish Kavanaugh for fulfilling his duty to investigate her husband's misconduct and unlawful behavior. Instead it's the New York Sun that's providing the coverage.
Incidentally, and for what it's worth, although Kavanaugh helped write Starr's report to Congress, Bob Woodward has said that Kavanaugh advocated not including the long narrative filled with graphic detail about Monica Lewinsky's sexual encounters with President Clinton.

A letter in the Aug. 28 Tomahawk Leader:
To The Editor:
After complaining for several years and getting nowhere, I have decided to air my thoughts about a sign to let Bradley Park be known to the Tomahawk residents and tourists who do not know it exists. I know there is a sign made of fabric high on a lightpole that is way above eye level, which is of good quality, but is not noticeable. And the entrance to the park has a very small sign pointing to it. I would like to see a sign equal to the signs at Memorial Park, Pride Park, Washington Square, The Industrial Park, The Water Utility Park, and SARA Park. There is even a huge sign stating that SARA Park is three blocks west of its location.
I was told by a city employee that because it has no ballpark is the reason for it not being recognized. Every park in Tomahawk is unique in its own right and because Bradley Park was named after the founder of Tomahawk and perhaps the oldest of all the parks, I think it should be treated with the respect it deserves. The huge trees, the nice buildings, a place for cookouts and the view of the water, plus the walk out to the point gives one the tranquility to sit and enjoy its peaceful setting thus making it unique in its own right. It is so magnificent that I have known a few weddings to be held there.
A beautiful painted sign perhaps on the boulevard in the area of the Wilderness Pole would be an added attraction to Tomahawk. If memory serves me correctly, and I believe it was for the Kids' Fishing Contest in the winter, I noticed a nicely painted sign out on the boulevard pointing to Bradley Park. I was elated that finally someone had erected a visible sign. And then it was gone … This was told to me that it was probably put up by the group sponsoring the fishing contest. If a sign comparable to the signs on the other parks was in place, this would not have been necessary.
Even if my plea for a comparable sign like the other parks have does not materialize and lands on deaf ears, at least its existence will be made known by those people who have not had the privilege of visiting this historic landmark and would like to see Bradley Park.

The forgotten park …

Originally named Puddleville, Adel, the county seat of Cook County, incorporated on October 3, 1889. Local stories speculate that the city's first postmaster, Joel "Uncle Jack" Parrish, saw the name "Philadelphia" on a crocus sack and struck out the first and last four letters to create the present name of Adel.
The Jim Paulk-Sowega Building, built in the 1930s, now houses the Adel-Cook County Chamber of Commerce. The building, also known as the Watermelon Building, has an exterior of green watermelon motifs.
The U.S. Post Office on Parrish Street in Adel houses a New Deal-era mural, "Plantation Scene", painted in 1941 by Alice Flint.
Reed Bingham State Park lies eight miles west of Adel. This park surrounds a 375-acre lake known for boating and water skiing. Camping, fishing and picnicking are also offered at this facility.

By Dylan Vazzano, TTU Sports Information Coordinator
For more information, check out this weekend's game notes
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With the Tennessee Tech soccer team locked up in the heart of the 2013 Ohio Valley Conference schedule, the Golden Eagles return home for a pair of matchups this weekend. TTU (3-8-0, 1-1-0) will play host to Austin Peay on Friday at 3 p.m. CDT, before closing out the weekend with a clash against Murray State on Sunday at 2 p.m. CDT.
The two home matches will begin a stretch of five of the next seven at Tech Soccer Field, after the Golden Eagles spent seven of the last eight matches away from Cookeville.
"It's nice to be playing at home and it's definitely nice for our team, but in the end we have to win no matter where we are playing," fourth-year head coach Daniel Brizard said on his team suiting up in front of the Tech faithful.
The Golden Eagles enter the weekend tied for sixth in the conference, after coming away with a split to kick off OVC play last weekend. Tech marched into SIU Edwardsville on Friday, and with a 1-0 victory, snapped the Cougars' impressive run of eight straight matches without a loss, spanning all the way back to the team's first affair way back on Aug. 23.
Senior Shannon Rountree accounted for the tilt's lone goal, and with 10 saves by sophomore goalkeeper Jordan Brown, the League City, Texas native notched her fifth career shutout in TTU purple and gold.
Sunday's battle at Eastern Illinois featured a Panther spurt of three late first half goals in a stretch of just two minutes, as the Golden Eagles eventually fell, 4-2.
"We really saw both sides of the coin this past weekend," Brizard said on his squad's first OVC week of action. "On Friday we learned that we can beat any team we play against, and then on Sunday I believe we learned that sometimes we take too much for granted after going up 1-0 in that match."
Austin Peay (6-1-2, 1-0-1) brings a prolific offensive attack into Friday afternoon's match, as the Governors currently lead the OVC in goals with 18, despite playing two less matches than five other teams in the conference. APSU is led by the dynamic goal scoring duo of senior Tatiana Ariza and freshman Gina Farbro, as Ariza sits atop the OVC with eight goals and 18 points, and Farbro is tied for fourth in the conference with five goals and tied for fifth with 10 points.
Ariza was also responsible for scoring both goals in last year's matchup with these two clubs, leading Austin Peay to a 2-0 home victory on Oct. 19.
"She's definitely a quality player," Brizard said when asked about Ariza. "Austin Peay has a number of quality players but they are no different than some of the other teams we have played. We still have to take care of what we do and try to shut them down."
Tech leads the all-time series with the Governors 8-3-0, but APSU has gotten the better of the Golden Eagles in two of the last three battles.
As far as Murray State (3-5-1, 0-2-0) is concerned, the Racers are one of two teams in the OVC to drop both of its first two conference matches, joining Jacksonville State in that department. MSU lost twice at home last weekend, falling 1-0 to Southeast Missouri on Friday, and 2-1 to UT Martin on Sunday.
The Racers will square off at Belmont on Friday at 5 p.m. CDT in preparation for Sunday's affair with Tech.
Sunday will mark the 16th time the two teams will meet, and so far nothing has been decided with an all-time series record of 7-7-1. The Golden Eagles evened things up last time the two squads got together, as Tech earned a hard fought 2-1 road win on Oct. 21 of last year. Senior Ellie Iaciofano had two assists in the match, while sophomore Jordan Brown recorded five saves in the win.
This year Iaciofano is currently tied with Murray State senior Rebecca Bjorkvall with a conference-leading four assists. Brown is number one in the OVC with 76 saves, a mark that puts her sixth in the country.
Both matches will be live streamed on the OVC Digital Network presented and produced by the Golden Eagles Sports Network. Click here to watch.

YORK, PA – The York College women's had two big events going on Thursday night. Sure they had a non-conference game scheduled with local rival Elizabethtown. However, the centerpiece of the evening came at halftime when the Spartans participated in the Teddy Bear Toss, an event benefiting Bekah Tuckey, the Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Caitlyns' Smile.
The Spartans made the evening a complete success with a 66-55 win over the Blue Jays as York improves to 11-0 overall. The 11 wins to start a season continues to build the school record for fastest start to a season. The Blue Jays fall to 2-7 with the loss.
The Spartans were a little sluggish in the opening minutes as the Blue Jays held an early 16-14 lead just over seven minutes into the game. The Blue Jays took their final lead of the game on a Taylor Krieider jumper at the 11:04 mark, giving the guests an 18-17 lead. The Spartans then embarked on an 11-0 run as the York defense clamped down on the Blue Jays. Elizabethtown went 10:18 of game time between scores. The Blue Jays were fortunate to be down only 10 but the Spartan offense wasn't clicking on all cylinders.
The Blue Jays scored five of the final seven points of the half to cut their halftime deficit to seven at 30-23.
Halftime featured the Teddy Bear Toss, which netted 340 bears for Caitlyns' Smile, an organization that provides hospitalized children with teddy bears during their stay in the hospital. The Spartan efforts, spearheaded by freshman forward Abbey Rhodes (Hanover, Pa./Hanover), also raised over $500.00 that will be donated to Bekah's family and the Kimmel Cancer Center.
The Spartans seemed to be motivated by the halftime festivities as York came out of the break and hit the Blue Jays with a 7-0 run that covered just under two minutes. The run featured a pair of Kristen Haley (Silver Spring, Md./Georgetown Invitational) lay ups sandwiching a Kelsey Murphy (Olney, Md./Good Counsel) triple.
The Blue Jays put together a 6-0 spurt midway through the half as they cut the York lead to seven but the Spartans answered with an 8-0 run to push the lead back to 15. The Spartan lead would grow to 17 before settling for the 11-point victory.
York was led by the tandem of junior posts Brittany Hicks (Dover, Pa./York Catholic) and Haley. Hicks registered a game-high 21 points while she also had 13 rebounds for her team-leading eighth double-double of the year. Hicks was 7-for-14 from the floor including 2-of-4 from three while she also converted 5-of-7 from the stripe. Hicks had five assists, three steals, and two blocked shots. Haley notched her third double-double of the year with 17 points and 13 rebounds. She also had four steals and three blocked shots.
Junior point guard Aja Wallpher (Ellicott City, Md./Seton Keough) had another great floor game as the reigning CAC Player of the Week had nine assists, nine rebounds, seven points, three steals and a pair of blocked shots. Senior Loreta Tonuzi (Hazlet, N.J./Raritan) came off the bench and gave the Spartans eight big points and an assist in 16 minutes of action.
Kreider was very good for the Blue Jays as she recorded a double-double of her own with 18 points and a game-high 14 rebounds. Nadine Yunginger contributed 15 points, five rebounds, three assists, and three steals to the Blue Jay effort. Kendra Beittel was the third Blue Jay in double figures with 10 points.
Spartan head coach Betsy Witman knew the game wasn't York's best performance.
"Overall, I wasn't particularly happy with how we played," said the long-time Spartan mentor. "I am certainly glad we won the game but I give Etown a lot of credit, they played hard and very physical. They do a lot to make up for their lack of height. At times, we didn't do a good job of defending them and taking care of the ball. We had been doing a good job of keeping our turnovers down but this was a game where was saw more pressure and ended up with 18 turnovers."
Fortunately for the Spartans, Elizabethtown converted those 18 Spartan miscues into just 11 points in the loss. York forced 17 turnovers and turned that into 18 points for the Green and White.
The Spartans ended up shooting 40.7% for the game, a number buoyed by 55% shooting in the second half. York converted 6-of-19 (31.6%) from deep while they went just 12-of-22 (54.5%) from the stripe, their second worst effort of the year from the line.
York limited the Blue Jays to just 30.8% shooting from the floor including 5-for-15 from three. Elizabethtown was solid from the line, making 10-of-12 from the stripe.
Witman saw some good things too from her squad.
"I thought we did a good job of finding our mismatches," said Witman. "We got the ball into Kristen Haley and they really didn't have an answer for her. Brittany Hicks, Kailee Knight (Crofton, Md./South River), and Kristen all did a great job on the board. I like the 20 offensive rebounds. Brittany had six and that's what she does best."
The Spartans finished the game with a 49-39 edge on the glass, their biggest margin on the boards this season.
Witman was happy to see the response to the Teddy Bear Toss.
"It's something that Abbey Rhodes started at Hanover High School. That is also my alma mater. When I was recruiting Abbey, I told her that if she ended up coming to York, we would continue on the tradition. We are about community service. We do the Coaches vs. Cancer tournament, the three-point attack to raise funds for the American Cancer Society, we have our "Play for Kay Day" where we raise money for the Kay Yow Foundation. We thought it would be fun for the spectators to get to participate in this fun event. I thought it was a good night with a great turn out."
York continues a very challenging stretch of their schedule as they host Richard Stockton in a non-conference contest on Saturday. Tip time at Wolf Gymnasium is set for 2:00 pm.
