text: Bee Not Pleased With NBC 9/20/2016 3:22:45 PM by Glenn It's easy to forget that before Donald Trump was a Republican presidential nominee, he was a steak salesman, a clothing designer, the face of a board game, a judge of women's beauty, and the host of a reality show on NBC. Even though the network severed ties with Trump following disparaging remarks he made about immigrants, it hasn't stopped them from featuring him on some of their flagship comedy shows like Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show. These well-loved copyrighted broadcasts don't exactly challenge Trump in a way befitting of his numerous lies uttered on the campaign trail. To a regular viewer who didn't attend a liberally-minded post-secondary institution that preaches critical thinking, these appearances only help in making Trump appear like a fun dude who isn't racist. The preceding analysis is not the product of our own University-trained brains; these days we get most of our info from Full Frontal. Since it airs on TBS and not NBC in those United States in America, Samantha Bee had was totally free to let loose on the peacock and its willingness to give Trump a platform to pretend like he's not Donald Trump. We suppose it's the least NBC can do for a guy who gave them years of solid ratings, whhich Trump used to provide lucrative exposure to shining citizens like Dennis Rodman, Rod Blagojevich, and Kate Gosselin. We'd rather not this election get any worse but at least it seems to bring out the best in Sam Bee. Tune in next Monday at 10:30ep for another brand new episode that will leave you laughing, crying, and wishing that Canada had a star system that could've supported and nurtured Bee thus allowing her to remain in her home country.

Wear Broomstick Skirt in Your Own Perfect Way
Broomstick skirt undeniably one of the trendiest piece that can be worn in various ways. Furthermore, this is known as a free- flowing trendy garment type.
Thus, its wrinkled texture is another significant thing that separates these broomstick skirts for women from the rest of the fashion items in the market today.
Broom skirts are also known as gypsy, peasant, hippie, tiered and Indian skirts. Basically, this is made of various materials such as nylon, cotton, velvet and silk. This is basically the reason why this is a single item that can be designed in so many ways. Good news, indeed!
These skirts for women must be worn with multitude of hues. Through this, the achievement of various striking visual effects is undoubtedly achieved. Moreover, to be able to arrive at wonderfully matched outfit, choosing the right kind of fabric as well as the color of the skirt is highly necessitated. The accessories to pick and the pair of footwear to put on reflect the style you prefer to create for the public view.
A solid- colored shirt or tops like black and white is a typical broomstick skirt pattern. Mono- toned shirt creates a classically elegant look for a special gathering like evening parties, weddings, engagements and the like.
For a more comfortable outfit, wear a sleeved shirt or a patterned top. In order to give a perfect finish to your classic outfit, a pair of simple wedged sandals and a set of accessories will certainly go hand in hand with the classic look that you desire to pull off. A set of pearl and diamond jewelry is also perfect for a classic look.
Properly select the pair of top to create a Bohemian look. A short tank top with a multi-tinted beads and a pair of sandals makes you feel like a real Bohemian woman. You can put on a denim jacket to augment your edgy style. Wear a black broomstick skirt with a loosely fitting, faded tank top or a tie-dye shirt. Go with a bandana or a headband and aviator sunglasses to be able to create a perfect 70's- inspired style.
For an ethnic look, opt for an embroidered shirt for your broomstick skirt. Go for a set of bulky wooden bracelet and other bold accessories like a uniquely long pair of dangling earrings.
For a beach- inspired look, put on a single-colored skirt and a floral or printed tank tops. Be fashion- forward. Experiment with colors; but, make it sure not to exaggerate it. That's backfiring.
Whether you are seeking to boost up and spice up your simple womanhood and feminism, this broomstick skirt gives every girl a room to move out from her shell to be as creative as possible.
Mix and match based on the occasion, inspiration and desire.

Public Comment
Commentary: Oak-to-Ninth Referendum Raises Democratic Issues
Last Friday the Oak-to-Ninth Referendum Committee held a rally in front of Oakland City Hall to mark the one-year anniversary of the turn-in of the 25,000 petition signatures requiring that the Oak-to-Ninth Development Agreement be put to a vote of the public.
Although this referendum is about one development project in the City of Oakland, it raises issues that should concern all citizens living in a democracy, not just the voters of Oakland.
One issue is the corruption of the democratic process by money in which politicians sell off public assets to the moneyed interests in return for campaign contributions.
Oak-to-Ninth is a 64-acre Tideland Trust land that belongs to the public. A previous City Council voted to put parks and other public spaces there by passing the very well considered Estuary Policy Plan in 1999 and Voters of Oakland passed measure DD in 2002 to initiate the financing of the park. But the will of the voters was co-opted. Don Perata, who had received financial support from the developer, arranged the necessary legislation, SB1622, to allow Tidelands Trust land to be sold. Then, a new City Council, led by De la Fuente and Kernighan, shepherded through an Ordinance which approved developer Signature Properties' plan to build 3,100 condo units on the property. The 64 acres of public waterfront that Oakland voters had supported as a park was sold by the City Council for mere $18 million to a private developer.
The second issue is the abridgment of the voters' constitutional right to petition the government.
Oakland City Attorney John Russo first rejected the petition claiming that it did not include the correct version of the ordinance. The petitioners used the ordinance that was passed by the City Council on July 17, 2006 but the ordinance was modified after its passage. So the problem is not that the petitioners used the wrong ordinance but that the City Council did not follow its own City Charter in passing the ordinance.
The city attorney then objected to the petition based on the assertion that some petition gatherers were unqualified for technical reasons; however, the First Amendment to our Constitution is very clear:
"Congress shall make no law abridging the…right of the people...to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
The laws that put restrictions on petition gatherers abridge the petition process. Such restrictions permit moneyed interests to sandbag petitioners in lengthy and costly litigation. The right of the petitioner to have his/her signature counted outweighs all else.
Our republic is in a crisis. Both of our major parties have been bought off by corporate money, and the current administration has gutted our Constitution. We need citizen awareness and participation to reverse the corruption of our political process. We should demand that our elected officials represent the voters who elect them rather than moneyed interests.
This fight is not just for us but also for our future generations. We should make a stand that our children would be proud of. We need a new dawn in our democracy. We can start by standing up to the corrupt political process and on the way bequeath to our children a beautiful water front park for all of Oakland to use and be proud of.
Akio Tanaka is an Oakland resident.

It's rare for me not to know much about the books I read. Until recently, I had the tendency to latch on to one author (or shared world) at a time and read through their works – so that my collection is clumped, and when I think about an author I can think about a whole range of books they've written.
Blue Moon Rising is an exception to that. I didn't buy it; it was given to me, along with two other genre novels, which had been found reduced. All three are fairly obscure – in internet discussions, I've heard one of them (Illusion, by Paula Volsky) mentioned once or twice, and another is so obscure that it was difficult for me even to find out whether the author had written anything else. Blue Moon Rising is somewhere in between. Apparently, a lot of people do buy Simon Green's books, I just haven't found any of those people yet. All three of the books had elements that interested me; all three had things that put me off. I haven't bought anything else by any of the three authors; in the case of this book, I'm really not sure whether or not I should correct that omission.
For those, like me, who are ignorant, Simon R Green is one of the most prolific fantasy and science fiction writers of our age. He's probably best known for the eight volumes of his Deathstalker series (described as a parody of space opera), and the three connected Twilight of the Empire novels. There are also six Hawk and Fisher novels, four Forest Kingdom novels, three Secret History novels (with names that parody James Bond titles), and ten Nightside books, with an eleventh on the way. And two standalones. And the novelisation of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Aside from that last, all those books are from the last two decades. Blue Moon Rising was published in 1991 – along with four other novels. If you're like me, none of this sounds very promising.
Blue Moon Rising is… well, as the back of the book says: "A second son, a tired dragon, a unicorn without a horn, and a princess with a wicked left hook: an unlikely company to face a Demon Prince." Yes, poor old Prince Rupert has been sent away to kill a dragon, only to find that the dragon, who has a butterfly collection rather than a hoard of gold, desperately needs rescuing from an annoying princess he's been burdened with. The princess, incidentally, is a feisty tomboy who can't understand why people at court want to her to behave in a more 'feminine' fashion, and who expresses annoyance through casual violence. If you're like me, none that that sounds very promising either. I can almost taste the zany, oh-so-original exclamation marks dripping off that sales pitch.
I'll be honest: if I were reading it for the first time today, I'm not sure I'd have got past the first chapter of this. It makes it abundantly, painfully, clear what sort of novel this is going to be: a semi-serious parodic epic fantasy that mixes whacky disregard for logic with just enough (sometimes anachronistic) realism to poke fun at the tropes of the genre without letting that stop it from telling exactly the same story as all the novels its laughing at. That much is clear within a few pages, as paragraphs of humorous, though painfully obvious and cliché, witty 'banter' between the Prince and his Unicorn about how minstrels never mention the bad bits of adventuring, like how to urinate while wearing armour, are quickly followed by an encounter with goblins… who are so cowardly that they instantly surrender despite the pleading of their tough-guy leader. Oh god. I don't deny that this sort of thing can be funny… but it's so tired, so predictable, that it's hard not to groan.
Except that that's not what this book is about. The first chapter is, sure. And to a lesser extent the second chapter. The third chapter (there are ten of them in total, one an epilogue, though it's not named as such) starts out like that… and then it changes gear. The moment comes when several characters investigate the abandoned village of Coppertown, which has clearly been attacked by some sort of minions of the night – and though nothing about the incident is original or unpredictable (the villain of the chapter is straight of the D&D Monstrous Manual, and the conceit is literally a century old and quite famous), it is extremely well done. Monstrous Manual it may be, but I've never seen a D&D campaign where the horror of the enemy was as well conveyed. If there's one way to characterise the opening chapter of the book it's 'blasé' – so knowing that nothing seems really dangerous – but the Coppertown moment is the exact opposite, taking what in many books would have been treated as a casual random encounter and reminds us just how horrible, and terrifying, it would really be. And if the reader is wondering after that whether the gears will change again – yes, yes they will. The author very quickly ramps through the gears from light-hearted parody to gritty, bloody, moving drama, as family feuds and buried secrets, treason and plot, demons and sorcerers and famine and plague and the end of all things break through the happy surface of flippancy.
That's not to say the flippancy ever completely goes away – throughout the novel there is a dry, almost bitter, humour – but when the events of the novel become dramatic, that humour comes into its own, becomes dark and realistic, where previously it had seemed indulgent and artificial. At its height, Blue Moon Rising is touching, exciting and amusing all at once.
Most impressive of all, however, is the way in which the novel achieves what I think is one of the hallmarks of, indeed the purposes of, classic fantasy: the exaggerated, incredible setting does not detract from the realism of the characters, but instead serves to highlight it. Like a war story or a western, a good heroic fantasy uses its backdrop of almost unimaginable darkness to cast a stark, discerning light on the morality and personal character of the people who inhabit that world; and there is no doubt that this does that. The novel is distinguished from average pulp fantasy through its commitment to moral realism – a complete moral realism that does not simply avoid making its characters plainly good or plainly bad, but that further avoids even committing to exactly what good or bad might be. The characters are all flawed, but it's not entirely clear which parts are the flaws and which the virtues. In particular, an ongoing theme of the book is that of the extent of duty – how much can duty ask of a man or a woman? Does there ever come a point when we can set our duty down and say that we have done enough and that no more can be asked of us? And can our duty force us to do things that would otherwise be considered immoral – does duty trump morality, or does duty sometimes not allow us the luxury of not being contemptible? Or then again, is duty only a shield for evil and an excuse for a 'pragmatic' cowardice? Points are made on all sides, and rarely didactically, but the ultimate conclusion is left to the reader.
As a result of this ambiguity, Blue Moon Rising is populated by some surprisingly complicated and compelling characters, given that it is a standalone novel of moderate length that is packed with incident and short on long contemplations. Aside from the heroic but still not uninteresting Prince Rupert, particular mention must go to his father, King John, immediately likeable but perpetrator of some callous decisions, and mired in self-doubt as his kingdom falls from glory to desolation, and the elder son, Prince Harald, who is cold, manipulative, deceitful, two-faced, misogynist, insecure, brutal, petty… who in other words may well make an excellent king. Supporting characters include the anonymous Champion – somewhere on the borderline between Lancelot and a broken and psychotic man; the Astrologer, Thomas Grey, forced into the role of magical enforcer and hated eminence grise; Lord Darius, hereditary minister of war who would far rather be studying magic; Sir Blays, one of the king's oldest friend, driven into treason as things turn from bad to worse. Everybody is driven by their duty or by other external demands; the only character who has walked away is the High Warlock, who long ago ran away from the Kingdom, abandoning his heroic role to live in intoxicated hermitage in a Dark Tower with no doors – "a coward, a traitor, and a drunk".
The novel is not without its flaws. Leaving aside my distaste for its lighter moments, I think that there is an uncomfortable tension between the two poles of style – Harald, for instance, seems to be as intelligent as the dark and realistic elements require, and then suddenly as stupid as the comedy demands. More seriously, the parodic approach to heroic fantasy produces a lacksadaisical attitude toward plot and worldbuilding that betrays the more serious side – repeatedly there are annoying lapses somewhere between plot holes and continuity errors, and nothing ever really quite makes sense. There are also problems in pacing and dramatic structure (even leaving aside the slow and misleading opening): the scope of the plot is too broad for the wordcount and the narrative style, and at times he struggles to hold it all together, which results in certain characters being absent for long stretches, and others receiving less screentime than dramatic satisfaction demands; the plot toward the end feels increasingly railroaded, and the climax combines a too-predictable dramatic moment with a deus ex machina – it's well done, as DEMs go, but it still is one, and it feels cheap. The aftermath feels rushed and betrays some of the earlier complexities, although it is touchingly written.
All in all, my impression is that Blue Moon Rising is a rather schizophrenic novel – a light-hearted, knowing adventure story has been combined with a dark, grey, meaningful and dramatic tale of unashamed but complicated heroism; it is to the credit of the author that the two elements are compatible at all, but I'm not convinced that the whole is entirely a success. It is also mishandled and unsophisticated in places; this may be interpreted as laziness on the part of the author, but as this was the first original novel of his career, it may be a reflection of naivety or inexperience.
Some people won't mind the problems. Those who like the humour and can tolerate the autoparodic elements, while not objecting to a little drama, may find this pleasant light reading with a little extra bite. I also think it would make a good novel for children – the style is not dumbed down, but it is always accessible, and though it touches on very dark matters, it does so in a restrained and delicate fashion, preferring implication where others might use profanity or gratuitous gore, and the parodic side would feel more fresh to younger readers; additionally, the way in which it deals with issues of morality and virtue in an interesting but not lecturing fashion may make it interesting for parents to recommend.
Adrenaline: 3/5. I was gripped throughout (after the first few chapters), but never thrilled. Partly that's those inexperienced mistakes; mostly, I think, it's the sporadic nature of the action, which throbs rather than climaxes. What climax there was felt too weak for what had gone before, and the start is too slow.
Emotion: 3/5. As a child, I would have ranked this at least a 4, and possibly a 5. I think I've cried at the epilogue before. As an adult, though, a book has to work a little harder, and the (intentionally) derivative and familiar aspects of character and plot reduce the impact somewhat.
Thought: 3/5. Those questions about duty, and some questions about courage, raise this above the average pulp fantasy, but they are not explored in depth, and most of the novel is fairly mindless stuff. The plot belies its formulaic appearance with some interesting complexities and originalities, which encourage a little thinking ahead and reflection, but very little.
Beauty: 2/5. In places it feels as tired as a zombie and its wit may be self-knowing but it is rarely elegant or incisive. That said, it does have some scenes of heroism and tragedy that could be beautiful – yet the prose, while not ugly, is not refined enough to paint in the finer colours. [My, that sounded pretentious. *shrugs* Oh well. My prose is evidently not refined enough to paint in many shades of not-an-arsehole. I try my best]
Craft: 2/5. It's not badly written. As I think you may have gathered, I don't think it hits the right note when it strives for levity, except when that levity comes with the colouring lent it by surrounding gravity. There are problems with the plot. The prose is unremarkable. It does try to carve more sophisticated characters and takes the plot in some new directions, but in neither respect does that involve really notable craftwork. It is funny in places, and mostly effective. In the end, I marked it down because more work could have been done on making the ending work better.
Endearingness: 3/5. I'd like to put this higher, but I can't. I'm not apathetic toward it – I'm torn. I really want to like it a little more than I do. I want to read more about the characters – but I'm not sure I trust him with them. I'm not sure that I so much enjoy the book as enjoy what the book could have been.
Originality: 3/5. I should probably have put this lower. In some ways, it's very familiar. However, it does try to branch out in every way – in plot, in character, in themes… so I give it the benefit of the doubt for its ambition.
Overall: 4/7. Not Bad, Really. And I really don't know whether to read more of Green. I said I enjoyed what the book could have been, and I'm torn between hope and fear – I don't want to find out that he doesn't get any better than this. The two obvious next steps would be the later Forest Kingdom novels, which share the same setting, or the many Hawk and Fisher novels, which share some characters, within the same world; but the first look like more formulaic heroic fantasies, and although I think he pulled it off this time, I worry that repeating the same approach to de-formulaicising fantasy will make that approach itself feel formulaic; the latter series have taglines that make me groan. Oh god, not a pair of unconventional cops in a confused medieval/renaissance film noir setting – oh, the zany exploits they will have, the wise-cracking high-jinks! And yet… I do love the characters, in their simplistic and exploitative way. I guess it comes down to whether Green goes on to be dark and nuanced with flashes of ironic humour, or whether he goes for light ironic humour with servings of drama and unpleasantness. If the former, I could grow to love him. If the latter, I could easily hate him. I'm also tempted to give Shadows Fall a try – it's a standalone, it seems more serious, and he calls it the best thing he's done.

Rupnagar accident: Agitation called off after police assure action
After the police formed a special investigation team (SIT) and assured action in the case on Friday, villagers called off their 30-hour-long sit-in protest over the death of Swaran Singh (40), a resident of Behrampur village in this district, in a road accident.chandigarh Updated: Jul 11, 2015 08:22 IST
After the police formed a special investigation team (SIT) and assured action in the case on Friday, villagers called off their 30-hour-long sit-in protest over the death of Swaran Singh (40), a resident of Behrampur village in this district, in a road accident.
The Thursday's accident allegedly involved a luxury bus of Dabwali Transport Company co-owned by deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal.
The decision was taken by the all-party sangharsh committee after the government announced the setting up of the SIT to look into the incident "in its entirety".
Residents of five villages of the area on the Rupnagar-Chandigarh road had blocked the main highway on Thursday afternoon after Swaran Singh died while returning home after doing the night shift at a factory at Chanalon focal point near Kurali. He was on his scooter and died on the spot after being hit by a speeding vehicle around 6.30am.
The family, along with other villagers, sat on protest after placing the body on the main road and demanded the registration of an FIR against the driver of the bus. The dharna, where hundreds sat on the spot despite the rain, took political overtones on Friday with several Congress, AAP and left party leaders making a beeline for the dharna site. Addressing the gathering, they demanded the registration of a case against Sukhbir Badal. The police had booked the driver of a car which was involved in the accident.
Assurance by SSP
Rupnagar SSP Varinder Pal Singh visited the dharna site in the evening and informed the protesters that the SIT comprising additional director general of police (crime) Iqbalpreet Singh Sahota, inspector general of police (crime) Nageshwar Rao and Rupnagar range deputy inspector general of police RK Jaiswal had been formed to investigate the case.
He said necessary action would be taken after the completion of investigations, adding that the bus had been impounded and its driver was being questioned.
Following the announcement by the SSP, the protesters lifted the dharna and the traffic movement on the national highway number 205 (Chandigarh-Rupnagar road) was restored. The body has been sent to the civil hospital in Rupnagar for post-mortem.
It is learnt that the mediators have also promised the family a compensation of over Rs 20 lakh and a job to the victim's wife.
"We have been told that the bus driver's name will be added to the FIR and he will be arrested. Also, the compensation amount will be delivered to the family by 11am on Saturday. The administration will also give the rest of the assurances in writing. In case any of these assurances are not met, we would resume the dharna. If the assurances are met, we would cremate the body on Saturday noon," said Manjit Singh of the AAP.

I'm not sure that this truly qualifies as a carne asada dish, since I was under the impression that carne asada was beef, but regardless, this recipe was a winner. It uses cheaply priced boneless, skinless chicken thighs and marinates them in a combination of citrus juices and spices. I used feta instead of Cotija cheese, since I already had it around and it was a great substitution. The pickled onions were a delicious acidic touch that cut through the richness of the chicken, feta and avocado. I served it with mashed black beans, heated through in some chicken stock and seasoned with some cumin. If you plan ahead enough to marinate the chicken and onions, this is a great weeknight meal.

A dominant Stena Line Belfast Giants performance in Coventry helped claim a 2-0 win over the Blaze in the Elite League. Coventry netminder Brian Stewart faced plenty of action with the Giants outshooting Coventry in a fine performance on the road.
The win sees the Giants complete a four point weekend following Saturday's 4-1 win over Braehead Belfast and is the Giants seventh win in-a-row in all competitions.
The Giants dominated the opening 20 minutes, outshooting their hosts 20-8 and made the breakthrough early on as Kris Beech scored with a nice backhanded finish at 4:31 after Brian Stewart Gave up a rebound on James Desmarais' initial effort.
Although the visitors were unable to take further advantage of their first period dominance – the Giants penalty killing unit was in fine form, keeping the score at 1-0 going into the first intermission.
The second period went much like the first and this time it was Mike Radja who got on the scoresheet at 32:21. With Kevin Noble sitting in the penalty box for Roughing, Radja was quickest to react as a Colin Shields shot rebounded off the backboards. 2-0.
The third and final period was only a few minutes old when Boris Valabik clashed with Kris Beech which led to a scrum in the Blaze zone and saw Derrick Walser being ejected from the game.
The Blaze opened their scoring at 50:40 through a Josh Godfrey powerplay goal – however it was too little too late for the hosts with the Giants taking the win.
Final Score:
Coventry Blaze 1-2 Stena Line Belfast Giants

80,000 kids on waitlist at the start of 2019/2020 school year
Right now the most critical need in Haiti is food. Due to rising inflation, political instability, and the devaluation of the Haitian gourde, 3.6 million people in Haiti are in a food insecurity crisis. Now food is more expensive, and their money is worth less. One mother told us it feels like her "bread is shrinking."
Although we serve 95,000 meals to students in our nutrition program every day, there are 80,000 kids on our waiting list who are also in desperate need. We know these kids, and we're beginning to see their hair turning red – a sign of malnutrition.
We believe the current reality in Haiti doesn't have to be this way—mothers don't have to wonder where they will find the next meal for their children, and kids don't have to go to sleep with empty bellies. We need you to join us and believe too.
It only costs about $10/month to provide one hot, nutritious meal every day. For many, this will be the only meal they have. Whether you can give $5 or $500, you'll be making a real difference in real people's lives.
Join Team Hope today, and say "yes" to providing 80,000 more children with a daily, nutritious meal.
The problem is huge, but when one person says "I want to change one life," that one life really matters—and that one life changes many lives. Let's do this together.

With its hushed ride, yawning cabin, and seating you can settle into, the used Chevrolet Impala makes you feel like you've struck it rich. Though what you've actually struck is an awesome deal, because buying one of these full-size sedans from the used market gives you everything you could want at a budget-friendly rate. Check out our buying guide for more on what you can expect at the used lot.
Get your hands on Chevy's beloved full-size sedan for a sweet take on the usual full-size sedan perks. That means seriously comfy seating for five - we're talking drastic head and leg room. But it also means a lovely blend of power and performance. Besides getting you up to speed in a flash, the Impala smooths out the bumps in the road for a silky ride. This modern Impala is even loaded with tech, which means plenty of hands-free access to your cherished smartphone and even a Wi-Fi hotspot to keep your kids content in the face of a long drive.
For 2014, a mild hybrid Eco model was available. Its eAssist powertrain made it the best possible choice for fuel savings; this full-size sedan earns an impressive 24 city/35 highway mpg. Check it out for a seriously thrifty take on this stylish sedan.
As the model years chugged on, this generation saw more and more cutting-edge tech features. For example, you can take a Wi-Fi hotspot on the road in Impalas from 2015 and later. Smartphone addicts should keep their eyes peeled for a 2016 or newer Impala, as these introduced handy features like Apple CarPlay and wireless phone charging pads. The former means hands-free access to features like Maps and Music and the latter means battery charging at its most convenient.
These were good model years for Chevy's full-size sedan. The ninth-generation Impala puts some serious emphasis on the big sedan perks: quiet cabin, silky smooth ride, generous cargo space, and adult-friendly space for six passengers. You'll be cruising around like a regular OG in this thing. Ninth-gen Impalas came in three basic trims - the LS, LT, and LTZ - with increasing levels of luxury. A sporty, V8-powered Impala SS was available from 2006 to 2009. Modern drivers will be at home in any one of these models, thanks to standard goodies like full power accessories and air conditioning.
To squeeze the best possible performance and the best possible fuel economy out of this generation, check out the 2012 and 2013 model years. These Impalas feature a modernized powertrain- a 300-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 - that zooms onto highways, where it earns up to 29 mpg. You can even squeeze some major speed out of earlier model years if you get your hands on an Impala SS. Available from 2006 to 2009, the sporty SS churns up 303 horses with its big 5.3-liter V8 engine.

Our ORE research partners want to know how your doctor's treatment recommendations impact your life. You're in the best position as a patient to tell them if this Treatment Burden Questionnaire asks the right questions in the right way to find the answers.
Treatment burden refers to the workload imposed by healthcare on patients, and the effect this has on quality of life. The Treatment Burden Questionnaire (TBQ) aims to assess treatment burden in different condition and treatment contexts. Here, we aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of an English version of the TBQ, a scale that was originally developed in French.
Methods: The TBQ was translated into English by a forward-backward translation method. Wording and possible missing items were assessed during a pretest involving 200 patients with chronic conditions. Measurement properties of the instrument were assessed online with a patient network, using the PatientsLikeMe website. Dimensional structure of the questionnaire was assessed by factor analysis. Construct validity was assessed by associating TBQ global score wıth clinical variables, adherence to medication assessed by Morisky's Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), quality of life (QOL) assessed by the PatientsLikeMe Quality of Life Scale (PLMQOL), and patients' confidence in their knowledge of their conditions and treatments. Reliability was determined by a test–retest method.
Results: In total, 610 patients with chronic conditions, mainly from the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, completed the TBQ between September and October 2013. The English TBQ showed a unidimensional structure with Cronbach α of 0.90. The TBQ global score was negatively correlated with the PLMQOL score (rs = −0.50; p < 0.0001). Low rather than moderate or high adherence to medication was associated with high TBQ score (mean [SD] TBQ score 61.8 [30.5] vs. 37.7 [27.5]; P < 0.0001). The treatment burden was higher for patients who had insufficient knowledge compared with those who had sufficient knowledge about their treatments (mean ± SD TBQ score 62.3 ± 31.3 vs. 47.8 ± 30.4; P < 0.0001) and conditions (63.0 ± 31.6 vs. 49.3 ± 30.7; P < 0.0001). The intraclass correlation coefficient for the retest (n = 282) was 0.77 (95% CI 0.70 to 0.82).
Conclusions: We found that the English TBQ is a reliable instrument in this population, and provide evidence supporting the construct validity for its use to assess treatment burden for patients with one or more chronic conditions in English-speaking countries.

A Delhi Court Friday summoned the balance sheets of Indian National Congress (INC) and Associated Journals Pvt Ltd (AJL) that was sought by complainant and BJP leader Subramanian Swamy in connection with the National Herald case in which Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi have been named as accused.
Accepting Swamy's plea, Metropolitan Magistrate Lovleen sought the balance sheets of INC and AJL for the year 2010-11.
"At the very outset, this court must observe that the documents referred to in the present application belong to two separate entities — INC and AJL. By no stretch of imagination, the documents could be referred to as 'personal documents' of accused persons… Accordingly, it is directed that the balance sheet of INC pertaining to the year 2010-2011 be summoned on filing of process fee for the next date of hearing," the magistrate ordered. The court will now hear the matter on March 21.
The order came after Swamy, in his plea, sought summoning of balance sheets, receipts and payments accounts, income and expenditure statements for 2010-2011, 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 of the INC and AJL. He had argued that these records were necessary to establish the method adopted by the accused for the purpose of extending loans to acquire AJL through Young India (YI).
Meanwhile, the court, while summoning the documents, said, "The complainant submits, upon inquiry, that the assignment of loan was done by the accused persons on December 27, 2010. In view thereof, the relevant records pertaining to the assignment of above-said loan by the Congress Party to YI are necessary for a just disposal of this case."
"This court finds force in the submissions made by the complainant as under valuation of belongings of AJL is also one of the causes for which the accused persons are facing trial," it added.
In the National Herald case, Swamy has alleged that Congress leaders were involved in cheating and breach of trust in the acquisition of AJL by YI, as assets worth crores had been transferred to YI. He has alleged that YI, which has Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi on its board of directors, took over assets of the defunct print media outlet in a "malicious" manner to gain profit and assets worth over Rs 2,000 crore. Apart from the Gandhis, Congress treasurer Motilal Vora, general secretary Oscar Fernandes, journalist Suman Dubey and technocrat Sam Pitroda were also named in the case.

A new world of work
Microsoft's new Wellington office has opened for business today.
Following a karakia led by local kaumātua Sam and June Jackson, the Wellington office opened its doors to the public at 11am this morning. Local Member of Parliament Grant Robertson and US Ambassador David Huebner attended a celebration with Microsoft partners, community stakeholders, and customers.
The new office puts people at the centre. The fresh design was placed in the hands of Microsoft's Wellington staff, working with local architects Stephenson&Turner and taking inspiration from the movement towards activity based working. The goal was to make people feel great about being here.
Microsoft offices around the world have started to move to activity based working. This has been inspired by today's technology that allows work to be done seamlessly from anywhere. New flexibility allows people to define work by what they do, rather than where they are.
At its core, the model is based on trust in people's contribution to the team, rather than supervision of where and when they work. With devices connected through the Microsoft cloud, people can be present from anywhere. The office becomes a hub for collaboration and meetings that is designed to suit people's needs of the moment.
Microsoft Wellington now has three spacious zones. A blue-themed area greets visitors with a view over Lambton Quay and rooms infused with clear daylight for meetings with customers and partners. An orange themed zone caters to collaboration and open-plan work. From a public café-style area, it moves to more formal workspaces including bar-stool desks, a lounge room, and a patio-styled breakout area with an indoor trellis and plants.
The quiet zone has a green theme, and this is where people can retreat any time to focus intently on a personal commitment. Although the total area of the office is unchanged, the smart design that our employees teamed up on with the architects has given us extra meeting rooms, a larger reception area, and spacious accommodation of the same number of people.
There are no fixed offices, cubicles, or desks. Each workstation is equipped with a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, so that people can use a single USB cable to quickly and easily plug in to a comfortable and productive desk arrangement.
Of course, employees can also work effectively from home, customer premises, or Mojo. Instead of desk phones, we use Lync for Internet-powered communications. There is secure access to the Intranet from any trusted device. Email and documents are connected through the cloud.
All of this technology is focused on helping people to be more productive, to collaborate better, to achieve their potential.
In his speech, Grant Robertson observed that it was encouraging to see a work style that supported diversity, with all aspects of the technology and design being carefully arranged to support people and the contributions they each make. We hope to be able to share what we've learnt from our move to activity based working with others in Wellington and around the country.
Wellingtonian Mark Rees is Microsoft's National Technology Officer. "The design of the office helps me to achieve more - whether it is the conversation zone where people can work together and share ideas or the quiet zone where people can focus on their work independently. You choose the room to suit the work you have to do and each area provides a flexible mix of technology to facilitate the many different work and meeting styles and needs. It makes the office a more enjoyable place to work and I feel like I am getting more done."
Our employees love the flexibility, and Microsoft's experience with activity based working around the world has shown that there are some very concrete business benefits too. We are able to accommodate more customer and partner meetings at our premises. Staff can commute outside rush hour or work from home more readily, saving time and petrol. In larger offices, we have found that we can often reduce the space we need, saving on rent and energy use.
We are proud of the work our people have done to make this space uniquely theirs. If you would like a tour of the new office to find out more about what we have done, please get in touch so that we can make the necessary arrangements.

Frog Xing is based on one of the most cherished and beloved arcade
games of all time: Frogger. During the game, you guide a frog
across a busy highway and a river full of mayhem to dock on the

hat to the classic arcade games. With both traditional and new
sound effects and a hopping music score, the gameplay is addictive
and should be fun for both novices and arcade experts. Even children

Prescription medications are standard treatment for patients who present high blood pressure in the emergency department (ED). However, when a patient is dealing with a substance use disorder (SUD), doctors often have limited options. #GetWaivered, a new program at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), is expanding those options and enhancing outcomes for patients with opioid dependency.
Introduced by MGH Emergency Medicine Chief Resident Alister Martin, MD, the program encourages providers to participate in specialized training to prescribe buprenorphine (also known as Suboxone), which curbs opioid cravings and reduces withdrawal effects. Currently the standard of care, the medication is under-prescribed, in part, because it requires an eight-hour training course and a government waiver – not to mention physician hesitation to treat populations with SUDs. But experts agree that buprenorphine is an important treatment tool where few are available; one study showed that starting the drug in the ED improved the chances of treatment longevity by 50 percent.
MGH is offering the medication, which 55 primary care doctors have been waived to prescribe, as part of a spectrum of efforts oriented toward patients' recovery care, including multiple specialty clinics. Patients can also receive care from many additional nurse practitioners and physicians that have been educated in the nuances of addiction treatment throughout the Partners HealthCare network.

New Edition of popular Ebook: The Essential Guide to Queueing Theory
We're excited to announce that we've updated one of Baron Schwartz's most popular ebooks -- about the fundamentals and need-to-know aspects of queueing theory -- with a new, free edition: "The Essential Guide to Queueing Theory."
If you're familiar with the older edition of the ebook, you know that it provides some of the best guidance available for understanding and employing queueing theory without getting bogged down by complex or esoteric explanations. The goal of "The Essential Guide to Queueing Theory" is to make queueing theory accessible and practical: with the proper guidance, the theory becomes a powerful tool for solving details problems, for navigating queueing-based scenarios with unintuitive solutions, and, of course, for optimizing database performance management.
The additions to this version of the ebook are substantial, and they include:
- New discussions on the meaning of queues, with concise conclusions and bolded summaries. The section "Queueing in Real Life" covers these takeaways in practical terms.
- Newer and cleaner charts and graphics.
- New rule-of-thumb approximations for quantiles of residence time based on the work of Dr. Neil Gunther.
- A new example of latency, based on The New York Time's interactive feature on Usain Bolt's starting time off the block, to illustrate the typical shape of latencies.
- Continued discussion of the properties of the exponential distribution.
Be sure to download your free copy of the ebook today. And if you're interested in seeing how advanced queueing insights can be put to use in building an efficienct database monitoring solution, request a free trial of VividCortex and see how it works on your own systems.
