Georgia's Tray Bishop charged with felony after allegedly filming sex act
Georgia defensive back Tray Bishop has been charged with a felony after allegedly filming a sex act with a woman without her permission.
According to police, the woman came forward in April about the incident that happened on Nov. 5, the day after Georgia played South Carolina. She told police that he filmed her during their encounter and showed the tape to others.
"The complainant wished to report that there was a student going around showing people a sex tape of her … without her consent," the police report said. "… A subsequent investigation into this incident led us into determining that the crime of unlawful eavesdropping occurred on [Nov. 5]. The investigation showed that Detravion Bishop had recorded [victim's name] inside his dorm room without her permission and without her knowledge."
Bishop turned himself in on Wednesday and is charged with felony eavesdropping/surveillance. Georgia coach Kirby Smart said in a statement that the school was following protocol in its investigation and would take proper action when it concluded.
Bishop spent the 2017 season as a redshirt. He was a three-star athlete in the class of 2017 and played quarterback in high school.

At AWP last year I heard Scott McClanahan's name and him reading for the first time. It was biblical. I talked about that here.
………"We'll now release a dove which is a symbolic representation of Ruby's soul flying home to heaven."………And so they opened up the bird box and nothing happened.………We waited.………And then this sleepy-looking dove just crawled out, except it didn't even look like a dove really but just a fat pigeon that somebody had painted white.………It had a look on its face like, What the fuck? Seriously, people. What the fuck? It's way too old to be doing this today.………So the Wallace and Wallace guy tried to shoo it but it wouldn't shoo.………So the preacher repeated: "We'll now release the dove."………The Wallace and Wallace guy shooed it again. Finally the dove shot high up into the air and out and over our heads, but instead of flying away it just landed on top of this chain-linked fence. And so the Wallace and Wallace guy tried shooting it again and everyone giggled and gathered around in a circle throwing up their arms and shouting "shoo-shoo" at the bird high above. I shouted, "Shoo." We were all shooing.………But it wouldn't shoo.………And so it was.
……….Then we read about how you build civilization. They built the Hawk's Nest Tunnel by digging a big ass hole in the side of a mountain. They used a bunch of poor people to dig it. A poor person means either their skin was dark or their accents were thick. That's the best way to do anything–get a bunch of poor people to dig it. So they cut and cut into the mountain but there was a problem. They didn't wet the dust from the cut limestone–so the men developed silicosis. The men started dying by the tens and then the twenties and then the hundreds and then–the thousands? Since they were poor the company just buried them. There was an investigation a few years later but no one cared. They were poor people.

Finding Your Peak Time - My Morning Routine
If you Google or search on Medium for "morning routine", you are bound to get thousands of pages of people describing their morning routine and why it is the best one out there. From article titles like "What the 5 Most Successful People Do Every Morning" to "Do these 10 Things Every Morning for Maximum Productivity", there are slew of habits, actions, and routines that people are willing to talk about and prescribe you.
But, over the past 2 years of working on how I spend my morning, I have decided on one main point: you pick the best way to start your day that fits you.
The reason I've come to that is from interacting with people and talking with them - everyone is different. Case in point: night owls will not benefit from waking up before dawn and getting started. Night owls work best in the silence of the night when everyone else is asleep. Some people get up and read to invigorate the brain, others meditate to calm the brain, some people journal, others hit the gym. What I'm trying to say is to experiment to find out what works best with you - take a hard look at when your maximum productivity is, when you feel the best, and then capture that energy by creating routines that build that fire.
So what works best for me?
Well, I've come to realize and understand that I am more of a morning person. 100% I love waking up before others in the quiet of the morning, having my coffee, and starting the day with decisions I make instead of other's. That means I am usually in bed pretty early but that is a different post.
Here's what a typical morning looks like for me:
- 5:30AM Wakeup alarm by Jocko Willink (See Sleep & Discipline to learn more)
- Downstairs to start my kettle for coffee & I make sure to have about half of my Nalgene of water
- Aeropress Coffee (if you are looking for a good, quick, coffee system, I highly recommend Aeropress. Learning about it and the science behind it was enlightening)
- Get out my regular looking journal - it is one of those notebooks you see in school, spiral bound, where if you mess up the spirals then the thing is a pain - mine right now is blue and wide ruled. Sometimes I have college ruled, but I like wide as it seems to be the right amount of time
- With my coffee and journal, I usually spend on average 25-30 minutes journaling. This equates to one page (front and back) in my journal. Journal topics have a wide range, but the main focus is to get thoughts out of my head and on to paper so they don't bother me any longer
- Next is a choice: I either write a post like this to share what I have learned or I read for another 45 minutes and take notes so I learn more thus share more posts like this.
- Around 6:45/7:00 is the first time I check my phone. I try and go as long as possible without checking it - around this time is usually when I start making breakfast and thus would like some music
- 7:00-7:40, breakfast, preparing for work, making my lunch - the usual morning activities
- 7:40 - on my bike, headed to work - I am fortunate enough to be able to bike every morning - it gets my heart rate up a little, that fresh morning air, and it's pretty quiet
- 8:00 - at my desk, starting the work day
There is one point in there that I would like to highlight and share more - don't check your phone. This one I have come to enjoy the most. Why? Well because when you check your phone, you are then subject to the asks of others. Others could be text messages or phone calls, but it could also be Tweets, Likes, News Updates, and more. This immediately changes the focus from yourself to the call and ask of others. Most people, myself included, have their minds crowded and jumbled up then - it is hard to journal when you have the other apps and notifications in your mind. This also has the dual side effect of getting you out of your bed - if instead you just roll over and check your phone - you can get lost in the scroll for way to much time. Get out of bed and get after it.
Try the no-phone rule out. Maybe it's the first 30 minutes of your morning just drinking coffee in silence. Or maybe it's just 10 minutes every morning. I believe it will help start your day by allowing you to make decisions about how you want your day to go instead of being a slave to the call of others.

A Port St. Lucie teen has been arrested after police say he compiled an 18-name "hit list" of students and staff at his high school and told classmates he intended to shoot the people on it, authorities reported Monday.
The 14-year-old, whose name was withheld by authorities because he is a minor, attends Somerset College Preparatory Academy, a charter school, and now faces a felony charge for the written threat, according to reports released by Port St. Lucie Police spokesman Sgt. Frank Sabol.
The teen was taken into custody Friday, three days after the school police officer was tipped to the list by another student, according to the arrest report.
That tip sent the investigator and school staff sorting through the garbage where classmates said the 14-year-old tossed the ripped page after telling them it was a list of people he was going to kill, the report said.
They found a lot of little pieces and eventually reconstructed a list that named not only students, but also the principal, the school police officer and other staff, the report said.
When interviewed the teen referred to the paper as his "Hit List", but said it was a joke. According to the police report, he said "the names on the list were his friends and he didn't mean it."
Investigators said the paper held more than a list, however.
The paper also had a faint drawing of the campus layout. On the back, investigators reported, the teen wrote he was going to kill the school's receptionist, execute anyone in the office and hold the principal at gunpoint, ordering her to excuse the "Code Red".
Also, beside each name was a Roman numeral, which one student told the investigator indicated that was how many round the teen planned to put into each person.
Police interviewed two students whose names were on the list. They recalled the teen calling it his "Kill List".
The students reported the teen also spoke of making Napalm out of laundry detergent and gasoline. When questioned by police about his access to weapons, the teen said that his father had guns and ammunition.
According to the report, the teen told one student not to come to school May 15 and said, "I'm warning you."

The Return of the Revenge of The Night Before the Dawn of the Living Dead
I had heard buzz about this movie some months ago. It was touted as a "really cool zombie flick" but didn't pay it too much attention because (a) we were in the process of moving up north and (b) I tend to not follow anything that critics like. Such is the case with anything I'm interested in, once it becomes mainstream I lose all faith in it being good anymore – at least until it becomes unpopular once again. It happened with vampires. Heck I was all about vampires back in the late 90's but then along came the Queen of Teen Prattling, Stephenie Meyer, and that brought an abrupt end to my vamp love. The unthinkable happened. Vampires became mainstream and soon everyone and their mother had a story, book, tv series or movie about vampires. Even though I'm a die-hard fan of True Blood, the love for the genre isn't there right now.
My last place of horror refuge lay in everybody's favorite brain munching meanies – zombies. The undead have been iconic throughout modern movie history and have seen a rollercoaster of popularity over the past 40 or so years. They're always a safe genre to fall back on. When I first heard about the 2009 French film aptly titled The Horde it immediately piqued my interest. It's always fun to see foreign zombie flicks because they have a totally different feel than North American ones. Unfortunately when critics started chiming in on how good it was I feared for the worst.
Last night I got to finally sit down and watch it.
Let me start off by saying it's not a movie for everyone. Horror fans seem to be split down the middle with some praising it as being brilliant while others tear it down with a bloody hatchet. It all seems to trace back to the age-old debate of Fast Zombies vs. Slow Zombies. It's always amazed me how venenate both sides are over the subject. If you're locked into the slow dopey zombie preference this is definitely not a movie for you. However if you enjoy track star, parkouring and insatiable undead (or just don't care either way and just wanna see some bloody goodness) then welcome to the Horde.
The story centers around a group of vigilante cops who stage a raid on a gangster's headquarters based in an old condemned building in the ghetto. They're out for revenge against the band of thugs who killed one of their fellow police officers but soon realize they're outgunned and are eventually taken hostage. The first 20 – 30 minutes screams of a Guy Ritchie-like gritty gangland crime drama with tense dialogue and graphic violence between the Nigerian drug lords and the captive cops. The story suddenly veers in a whole new disturbing direction when the building is besieged by throngs of fast-moving zombies. Makeshift alliances are formed between bitter enemies as both the criminals and the renegade cops try to escape the death trap.
Sounds like the makings for a rambunctious time, eh?
It's a bona-fide gorefest with plenty of fast paced bloody violence to satisfy even the biggest action junkies out there. I can't justifiably label it as one of the best zombie flicks I've ever seen but it definitely deserves its merits. Being a fan of the hyper zombies I tend to give it more bonus points than if it were a classic zombie film. The characters, although a little undefined are decent enough to carry the film. It's always cool watching a horror movie in which you're not familiar with the leads because you never know who's making it to the end.
The special effects and makeup were on point as was the cinematography. It reminded me very much of 28 Days Later with the overwhelming grittiness and purposefully washed out and desaturated film quality. The confined spaces and tight hallways within the decrepid apartment building adds to the anxiety levels especially when you have ravenous zombies collapsing in at all angles. Story wise, it had potential but at times leaves your mind wandering only to be brought back when a psychotic zombie beatdown breaks out. Some people have panned the fact that the explanation for the zombie outbreak isn't explained but I actually appreciated they didn't. The living dead scenario has been used so many times that you can insert any number of "reasons" for the cause so why go into yet again. Cheers to them for letting the audience use their imagination.
Overall, if you're a zombie fanatic it's a must see if only to add to your mental database of zombie knowledge. Take from it what you will. Me, I've decided to list some of the things I've learned from this oddly entertaining film:
- You can quite literally beat the holy hell out of a zombie like he owes you money. Great way to relieve stress.
- Despite our incredible advances in science the past 50 years, flashlight technology seems to have fallen by the wayside. When will we ever see some common household flashlights that can actually light up more than a 4ft circular area?
- Being black during a zombie epidemic is still not a good career choice.
- Crazy guys have good hooch.
- A Browning Heavy Machine Gun in the hands of a Vietnam vet is a very effective zombie deterrent.
- Going to the roof never turns out well.
- Going to the basement never turns out well.
- Zombies don't play rugby well.
- If someone says "run", you run.
- It's always good to hold onto personal grudges amidst a catastrophic series of events.
- Setting off a grenade in a hallway is bad.

Cornerstone on the edge before falling
This photo shows the cornerstone (in yellow oval) being dragged over to the edge of the wall before it fell to the ground.
Cornerstone on ground exposing time capsule
This photo shows the cornerstone on the ground after it tumbled and rolled over several times. The copper time capsule box can be seen (in yellow oval) as it's been torn open when the heavy stone lid was removed.
First close-up view of the time capsule
This photo shows how the time capsule looked after it was pulled from the cornerstone. The lid was retrieved later. Fortunately, there weren't any items lost, as far as we know.
A view of the coins from the time capsule
Here's a look at all of the coins from the time capsule (except for the 1784 Spanish coin which isn't in this photo).
The Tiffin Edison Electric Illuminating Co.
Here's a letterhead from the Tiffin Edison Electric Illuminating Company. This paper mentions the brief history of the company, it's stock value and it's electrical capacity (1,000 lights with 850 already working).
An 1884 I. L. St. John's Almanac
I. L. St. John was a pioneer druggist arriving in Tiffin in the 1840's. He was very successful & very eccentric. This item wasn't on the inventory list from the 1884 Tiffin newspapers, and it's a very exciting treasure to find among the contents of the time capsule!

Indo-Africa trade relationships under the newly elected BJP Government in India. What will the future bring?
A picture of good things to come
In the aftermath of the 2014 elections and the swearing in of Mr. Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of India, it is inevitable that from Africa, there will be some curiosity to know where the historically warm and friendly Indo-Africa relationship ranks in his Government's foreign policy. Mr. Modi comes into high office with a reputation as a business friendly leader and one who has made Gujarat, his home State,
into an enviable business hub. This curiosity is well anchored: parts of Africa are home to a significant Indian Diaspora just as geography. has assisted to narrow the gulf between East Africa and Western India.
The volume of trade between India and Africa is projected to be US$ 90 billion by 2015 and this projection may be augmented by the empanelling of the India Africa Business Council (jointly headed by Mr. Sunil Mittal and Alhaji Aliko Dangote). India makes up the quartet of countries and regions with the largest trading footprint with Africa – the EU, the USA, China and India. just as in the bid for strategic alliances and friendships, it's a straightforward, if uneven race, in Africa is one between China and India.
Domestic economic policy, easily dominated the minds of the Indian electorate and foreign policy apparently did not secure much traction. It is therefore an open issue how Mr. Modi's government may rate Africa. However India has emerged as one of the epicentres of the gradual eastward shift of global economic power, albeit, nowhere near its optimum capacity. Energy (particularly, oil & gas) is central to the growth of any economy and so it is with India. In its own case, it lacks the significant energy endowments necessary to fuel its growth and has therefore had to look abroad for supplies. Nigeria, Mozambique, Angola, north Africa have in the past period proven to be key suppliers of India's energy needs. Few cultures are as intricately inter-woven with gold as India and it has equally had to rely on mines from abroad to supply its needs. In either case, both the oilfields and mines of Africa may soon be working overtime should there be a spur in India's presently dulled economic rate. These developments should be of particular interest to Nigeria which has, since 2013, emerged as India's biggest business trading partner in Africa and more recently, as Africa's largest economy.
The unfolding scenario easily suggests that Nigeria may have an opportunity to deepen the relationship with Mr. Modi's India. According to the former Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ambassador Mahesh Sachdev, direct bi-lateral trade between Nigeria and India was worth $16.67 billion in 2012-13.
During the preceding five years, bilateral trade has doubled and Indian exports tripled. Nigeria has emerged as India's second largest supplier of crude oil outside the Gulf. Nigeria has also become a large market for Indian consumables: vehicles, machinery and pharmaceuticals. Nigerian patients are notable medical tourists to Indian hospitals.
Despite a surge in Indian exports, Nigeria enjoys an annual bilateral trade surplus of nearly $11 billion. Over 100 Indian companies have footprints in Nigeria, with cumulative investments of over $10 billion, creating capacity and jobs - priorities for Nigeria.
Regardless of occasional differences, Indo-Nigeria relationship is mutually beneficial and it's hard to imagine anything will be done to undermine its promise now and into the future. Yet, the situation requires a measure of tendering to maximize its benefits.
In the recent past, the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industry working with the Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) had in October 2011, convened the 2nd Africa-India Forum Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The summit itself was a further testament to the widening scope of cooperation between both sides. While the summit has apparently not been convened with the regularity which it so richly merits, the period ahead under a new Indian Government offers an opportunity to reshape the contours of that relationship.
Looking back, India and Nigeria have always enjoyed a warm and friendly relationship. This can be gleaned from historic antecedents shared by both countries. India established a diplomatic mission in Nigeria in 1958, even before Nigeria became independent in 1960.
Both countries have been in the forefront of the worldwide anticolonial and anti-apartheid struggle and have collaborated in various international fora. Similarly, historic State visit to Nigeria by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh in October 2007 gave a new fillip to the bilateral ties.
Similarities in colonial struggle against British, large multi-ethnic, multi-religious and developing societies have created bi-lateral affinity. Both share common perspectives on international political, social and development issues and these have manifested in various meetings at UN, WTO, etc.
In light of the foregoing, India is not the sole suitor wooing African hearts and all the available evidence suggests that this is matter of some interest to India. In the event that we are actually able to gaze into that imaginary crystal ball, we may hypothesize that into the future, African countries, arguably, may more likely resemble India and less so, China.

While most organizations recognize the multiple advantages a move to Cloud Computing offers, many are still reluctant to make the jump based on concerns over security in cloud-based networks.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government has been a leader in adopting cloud technology in an effort to reduce information technology costs and to fundamentally restructure how agencies govern critical data.
Since the departure of Vivek Kundra, former White House CIO and a leading proponent for the adoption of cloud systems in government, NSA chief and head of U.S. Cyber Command Gen. Keith B. Alexander has emerged as one of the major advocates for the transition.
"Our DoD cyber enterprise, with the department's chief information officers, DISA and Cyber Command helping to lead the way, will build a common cloud infrastructure across the department and the services that will not only be more secure but more efficient -- and ultimately less costly in this time of diminishing resources -- than what we have today," Alexander informed the Senate Armed Services committee in March.
While many critics of the cloud cite increased security risks posed by the consolidation of data as well as the complexity of access control as being challenges the developers of cloud networks have yet to conquer, Alexander believes the move to the cloud will not only improve efficiency, but overall security as well.
"The idea is to reduce vulnerabilities inherent in the current architecture and to exploit the advantages of cloud computing and thin-client networks, moving the programs and the data that users need away from the thousands of desktops we now use -- each of which has to be individually secured for just one of our three major architectures -- up to a centralized configuration that will give us wider availability of applications and data combined with tighter control over accesses and vulnerabilities and more timely mitigation of the latter," Alexander previously said in testimony before a House subcommittee.
A primary function the cloud would provide is the furtherance of information accessibility and sharing among designated parties, an issue that has been the focus of multiple government initiatives in the post-9/11 era.
"As Gen. Alexander said at last year's [Geospatial Intelligence Foundation] conference, secure cloud computing offers both DoD and the [intelligence community] many advantages and efficiencies that could enhance information sharing and collaboration," said NSA spokeswoman Marci Green Miller.
A prime example of such information sharing capabilities the cloud can provide is the recently launched Defense Industrial Base Cyber Security/Information Assurance program.
The program is "designed to improve DIB network defenses and allows DIB companies and the Government to reduce damage to critical programs when defense information is compromised. The DIB CS/IA Program includes a voluntary information sharing component under which DIB companies and the Government agree to share cyber security information out of a mutual concern for the protection of sensitive but unclassified information related to DoD programs on DIB company networks," according to the Department of Defense.
"It's become very, very popular... It's become one of those free services, where... if they have the proper security clearance, they can get into a secure cloud so that they can get insights to protect their own enterprise," said former DISA director Gen. Harry D. Raduege of the DIB CS/IA program.
Nonetheless, there are still detractors and critics, even within the defense community who express concern over security issues that have yet to be thoroughly addressed.
"If you're moving information into the cloud, it just seems to me that all kinds of nasty activity could go on in there. I would take a Missouri approach and say, 'prove it to me, show it to me,' how it's more secure," said former director of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance for the Air Force Gen. John P. Casciano.

Dear Cecil:
What is the effing difference between a constellation and a galaxy? My understanding of the cosmos is at stake.
Cecil replies:
Cecil replies:
Get a grip, ace. A constellation is an apparent cluster of stars (that is, they look close together to us easily-deceived sods on earth), while a galaxy is a real cluster of stars, i.e., a bunch of stars that actually are (in astronomical terms) close together. The stars in many constellations are actually quite distant from one another, but we don't realize it because when we look at the stars we can't perceive depth. Never caused us to think less of John Wayne, so why should we hold it against the Big Dipper? I'll tell you why: because the Big Dipper isn't a constellation. It's an asterism, which sounds like something you might want to dab with Preparation H but actually signifies a star cluster within a constellation, Ursa Major (the Great Bear) in the case of the Big Dipper. Ain't this column educational?

Each person who begins a meditation practice does so for their own personal reasons. However, for those who pursue it in a serious way, the direction of meditation is to deepen awareness so that the individual can be fully present and respond appropriately to the experience of the present moment.
Meditation methods of various traditions are similar, but may emphasize different techniques. In Zen Meditation, for example, there is emphasis on a still body posture, attention on the breath, and an awareness of the activity of the mind. As thoughts and distractions arise during the meditation period, these are acknowledged, released, and the attention returned to the breath. This simple but difficult practice has had profound affects on lives of people since well before the time of the Buddha, over 2500 years ago.
In a recently published article, "Mental Training Affects Resource Use" (Synopsis, Full Article), Richard Davidson et al. at the University of Wisconsin demonstrated the effects of meditation on attention by the western scientific method. Below is an excerpt from the Author Summary:
Meditation includes the mental training of attention. One of the major limitations of the attentional system concerns the ability to process two stimuli. When the second (stimuli) is presented within a half second of the first one in a rapid sequence of events, it is often not detected. (Missing the second stimuli) is thought to result from competition between stimuli for limited attentional resources.
We measured the effects of intense meditation on performance. We found that three months of intensive meditation enabled practioners to more often detect the second target with no compromise in their ability to detect the first target.
These findings demonstrate that meditative training can improve performance on a task that requires trained attention abilities.
The paper describes both measurements of electrical charges in the brain as well as a detailed mathematical analysis. These results may help the understanding of the physical function of the brain and be an advance in the neurosciences. In a related newspaper article (NY Times 5/8/07), the author said that this was the first study to examine how mediation affects attention.
Perhaps it was the first study, but countless people who have meditated have seen such beneficial changes in their own lives by direct experience. There is a tendency to give formal studies more weight than one's own experience. However, if such studies encourage people to try the practice for themselves, they have a larger impact than to the science
Western Perspective: Finally, it is important to be aware of bias of our Western culture. These findings document by western methods the benefits that have been previously known to much of the world. There are many examples of methods that work in the world, that have not yet been documented in the western sense. One example is Chinese Medicine (see Common Sense, Carpal Tunnel Treatment Options and Acupuncture ). The important point is to recognize the bias and use information and judgment in considering these methods.

Days move slowly here, while months are quick. It's amazing what a little routine can fix. Soon I will have been in Botswana for 1 year. It's something of an accomplishment to remain at this junction, I think. I've reached a good place with this experience, the point at which I feel my problems are manageable. Solutions don't materialize any more than they used to, but I do feel I can navigate better than before. Perhaps the spirit of "paying dues" is at play – simply being around allows a certain amount of growth and learning, even if the daily lessons aren't profound. When I talk to my American friends here, that conclusion is more apparent. We are inherent products of our environments, and we have to work within our establishments in order to change them.
The amount of change I've undergone since this time last year is debatable. I would be wrong to assume that I could go back to the US and live exactly as I did before this experience, but I don't know what aspects of my life would be altered. That trick of putting a finger on the difference isn't something I've grasped yet, but bathing by candlelight in a bucket for a year creates an inevitable divide.
I find myself looking toward the future more than I should. Living in the moment is harder when the pace of life is slowed down so drastically, and focusing on my day-to-day struggles provides an added stress. There's a high level of self-motivation involved here, because I am in a role with so much freedom. I make my own schedule and interact with people on my timeline. Balancing that against the generally content nature of the culture here is a challenge on its own. It means my success is in my hands, but that will involve showing others how to stay engaged between long periods of latency.
As you may have guessed, I'm having trouble sleeping this evening. In accordance with the hour, this post's loose adherence to any unifying theme will have to remain consistent to its end. Sometimes I just have to put the nonsense into writing.

Chives do double duty in this simple salmon dish: They're in the marinade and also sprinkled atop the finished fish as a final flash of flavor. Cook the salmon in a steamer basket placed in a pot, as we do here; in a wok fitted with a bamboo steamer basket, as is traditional in China; or on a plate set atop a metal ring (such as a tuna can with both ends removed) in a large wide pot containing about one inch of water. Plus: More Amazing Fish Recipes
How to Make It
In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the sake, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, 1 tablespoon of the chives, the sugar, red-pepper flakes, and black pepper. Put the salmon steaks, in one layer, in a shallow Pyrex dish and pour the soy mixture over it.
In a large pot, bring about 1 inch of water to a boil over high heat. Put the dish with the fish and sauce in a large steamer basket. Put the basket over the boiling water and cover. Reduce the heat to moderately high and cook until the salmon is just barely done (the fish should still be translucent in the center), about 10 minutes. Serve the salmon steaks with the cooking juices poured over them and the remaining 1 tablespoon chives sprinkled on top.
As an alternative you can use firm white fish fillets such as red snapper, grouper, or sea bass. Cook them until the center is opaque.

By CAPAF's Daniel J. Weiss.
This afternoon the Senate overwhelmingly approved ending debate on the "Obama-McConnell" compromise tax package by a vote of 83–15. This limits debate to no more than thirty hours, and makes likely the final passage of the bill on Tuesday or Wednesday.
The tax bill, H.R. 4853, would extend tax cuts for both middle class and wealthy taxpayers, as well as extend unemployment insurance and cut social security payroll taxes. Its provisions would create over two million jobs. The bill extends a critical renewable electricity job creator, while ignoring a lapsed provision that would create clean tech manufacturing jobs despite strong public support for boosting manufacturing.
The original draft framework of the tax package would let expire the "Treasury Grant Program" established in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. This provision, commonly referred to as Section 1603, enables companies to receive cash grants in lieu of production or investment tax credits for renewable electricity projects if they lack the tax liability to use tax credits. The inability of renewable companies to use tax credits has been a big impediment to clean energy investments since the financial collapse in September 2008.
If Sec. 1603 expires at the end of 2010, the immediate layoff of at least 15,000 employees could occur. Additionally, without Sec. 1603, the U.S. Partnership for Renewable Energy Finance estimates that $24 billion worth of clean energy projects "will not proceed." Additionally,
US PREF estimated around 104,000 jobs are forgone by not extending the 1603 cash grant through 2011 and on in to the future, where even more jobs would be created.
Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Diane Feinstein (D-CA), and thirteen other senators urged Senate leaders to include an extension of Sec. 1603 in the tax bill. Senators Harry Reid (D-NV) and Max Baucus (D-MT) responded and made it happen.
Reps. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Mike Thompson (D-CA), Rush Holt (D-NJ) were among 81 representatives that sent a letter to House Democratic leaders to urge that they extend Sec. 1603 for two years to close the finance gap and help the U.S. clean tech sector remain competitive.
Due to economic conditions, a large gap persists between the total amount of financing renewable energy developers need and the money available in the market. The TGP [Sec. 1603] fills that gap. In addition, the U.S. renewable energy industry is under increasing competition from other countries.
This program has proven that it will increase jobs, increase the market share for U.S. renewable energy companies, and reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy.
Unfortunately, the Senate bill would not provide additional resources for the Advanced Energy Manufacturing tax credit (48C) that compliments the Sec. 1603 program by providing assistance to small and medium clean tech manufacturing firms that produce renewable energy equipment. This provision helps these helps manufacturers build new factories or retrofit existing factories to build clean energy products, such as electric vehicle batteries, solar panels, or wind turbines. US PREF determined that
The 48C manufacturing tax credit is stimulating a US domestic supply response to meet this demand [from Sec. 1603]. Thus, by providing tax equity financing certainty, 1603 helps to ensure demand for the supply being created under the 48C program. We see the extensions of 1603 and 48C as a 1+1=3 proposition.
The extension of the 1603 cash grant would make more successful any extension of the 48C manufacturing tax credit in terms of job growth.
It quickly funded enough projects to reach its $2.3 billion spending limit, even though there were three times more applicants than grantees.
Providing $2.5 billion more for 48C would cost relatively little compared to the $858 billion tax package — it's one-third of one percent of the total. And its only two percent of the bonus tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans.
There is strong public support for federal investments in manufacturing. The December Allstate-National Journal Heartland Monitor poll found great public concern about economic competition for our manufacturing sector.
Americans believe the United States now lags behind China as the strongest economy in the world and are deeply pessimistic about the current track of the country.
More than half of Americans (62%) agree that it's important for the government to help advanced manufacturing industries with tax incentives and funding — even if it means more federal spending and more government involvement in the economy.
A poll for the Alliance for American Manufacturing by the Mellman Group found similar support for manufacturing, particularly among working class voters crucial for Democrats electoral success.
Loss Of Manufacturing Generate The Most Concern On Average.
We have lost too many manufacturing jobs in this country. [This is a] Top Concern Among: Independents, 50+ no college, Working Class.
The House of Representatives should complement the Sec. 1603 extension in the Senate tax bill by adding at least $2.5 billion for the Advanced Energy Manufacturing tax credit program. Together, these programs would create tens of thousands of new jobs, boost our domestic clean tech manufacturing industry, and protect public health by reducing pollution generated by coal fired power plants.
— Dan Weiss, Director of Climate Strategy at American Progress Action Fund

Parents are often given confusing or misleading information about guardianship and/or the need to obtain guardianship over their children with I/DD. Here are some of the most common:
1. If you don't get guardianship when your child turns 18, you will no longer be able to participate in her/his IEP meetings or other educational planning.
This is untrue; your child may authorize you to continue your involvement.
2. You need guardianship in order to obtain benefits for your child or
otherwise to advocate for your child, or negotiate with OPWDD.
This is untrue: there is no such requirement.
3. Getting guardianship is the best way to protect your child with I/DD.
This is untrue; guardianship is no "silver bullet", while studies show that enhancing self-determination enables people with I/DD to better protect themselves.
4. There is no downside to getting guardianship; everyone does it.
This is untrue; many parents are unaware that guardianship totally removes all of their child's legal and civil rights and leaves her/him a "non-person." If people with I/DD are not given opportunities to make their own decisions and have those decisions recognized they will not grow and are far less likely to live self-determined and inclusive lives.
5. "Good" parents get guardianship because their children with I/DD will always be "children" and they need to remain in a parental role.
This is untrue; over time, perceptions of, and expectations for people with I/DD have changed dramatically, and the goal is now for children with I/DD to grow into self-determined adults who live rich and inclusive lives.

News Detail
World Music Day to Fill Palo Alto with the Sound of Music
World Music Day returns to Palo Alto for a ninth year, turning University Avenue into a music festival on Father's Day, Sunday June 18 from 3-7:30 p.m. At least 50 professional and amateur musical groups will perform a wide variety of musical genres: jazz, blues, pop, rock, classical, world music, choral, folkloric dance and more for the community.
World Music Day takes place in cities around the world every year close to the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. First brought to Palo Alto in 2009 due to an initiative from former Human Relations Commissioner, Claude Ezran, it is an opportunity to celebrate the musical arts in all their forms in connection with the rest of the world. The first World Music Day began in France in 1982 and has since grown to include more than 700 cities in 120 countries.
"World Music Day has really taken off here in Palo Alto, becoming a great community building event. Last year it brought 20,000 people together downtown to listen, dance and enjoy live music," said Mayor Greg Scharff. "It's a fun way to enjoy Father's Day with the whole family."
Among the performers are Peninsula Harmony Chorus, World Harmony Chorus, Da! Mozhem, Wind in the Strings, Los Panaderos, Singing Wood Marimba, Blues Kazoo, Dirty Cello, M'EarthTones, and Doc Roc and the Disorderlies.
The free event is organized by the Palo Alto Recreation Foundation and sponsored by the City of Palo Alto, Stanford Federal Credit Union, the Palo Alto Weekly, Palo Alto Online, the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce, the Palo Alto Downtown Business and Professional Association, LiveSV, and News for Chinese.
Street closures will be in effect from 11 a.m.-8 p.m. on University Avenue between Webster Street and High Street.

"I like to pay taxes," Oliver Wendell Holmes once said. "With them I buy civilization."
Speak for yourself, Justice Holmes.
The Shelton Group, an outfit devoted to "bringing sustainability to the masses," has released a study that shows more Americans would be embarrassed to be caught shoplifting, getting a DUI or throwing trash out of their car window than cheating on their taxes.
Is this good news or bad news? A bit of both, I think. On one hand, cheating on your taxes is still taboo — for most people anyway. Fifty-seven percent of those surveyed said they would be "very embarrassed" if they were caught cheating on their taxes by someone they admire.
On the other hand, 43 percent apparently wouldn't be embarrassed at all.
We've got a ways to go before tax evasion is universally reviled. The tax gap is evidence of that, and Janet Novack reported as much in a recent Forbes article. Writes Novack:
"In the IRS Oversight Board's 2011 Taxpayer Attitude Survey, 84 percent of the public said it is 'not at all acceptable to cheat on one's income taxes.' Still, in that survey, only 66 percent of the participants said they 'completely agree' that 'everyone who cheats on their taxes should be held accountable' and only 72 percent completely agreed that 'it's every American's civic duty to pay their fair share of taxes.'"
Shame, apparently, isn't cutting it as a motivational tool.

Travelex, the global foreign exchange company and Conversocial customer, operates in two very different industry verticals, with two very different approaches needed. One being travel, where in-the-moment social service is a must. The other finance, where staying within the remits of the law is paramount. One lends itself to fast response times, the other slower more scripted responses. The end goal remains the same however, a social first approach to serving the social customer.
But, how do you manage these two differing playing fields? And how do you build a social service strategy that excels? We sat down with Sabrina Rodriguez, Global Social Media Manager at Travelex to hear her perspective on their recent Supercard campaign.
1) What was the Supercard campaign?
Travelex has undergone a business transformation to ensure it's best placed to serve the digital consumer of today with sending and spending their travel money. We launched a limited pilot (or beta) of our first digital product, Supercard, in May this year.
The Supercard is a card and mobile app combo for Android and iOS, and is the only financial product of its type that enables consumers to use their existing debit or credit cards abroad and not get charged bank card roaming fees. By storing their existing debit and credit cards within the free app, customers can use the Supercard to spend and avoid any international transaction fees and foreign exchange charges normally levied by their bank. This makes it one of the most competitive spending tools for UK travellers to use abroad.
The really great thing is that with real-time updates through the app, travellers can avoid bill shock as they're kept updated on the approximate amount that will be debited from their UK account and how much they've saved on fees.
2) As Supercard is a mobile app, how do you feel this affected the customer service element of the campaign?
We certainly found that, while we not only managed to capture a new audience that wouldn't typically come to Travelex for pre-ordering currency or collecting their foreign currency in store, we also saw the emergence of a much more mobile and socially savvy audience. We were also overwhelmed by the level of interest in the app, with over 80,000 users rushing to our website to get their hands on one of the limited cards on the day of launch; this meant our servers were struggling to keep up with the demand - it really was the Glastonbury of mobile app launches!
Though we still received a number of emails and phone calls, the number of queries flowing in through Social far outweighed our traditional Customer Service channels. We even saw a significant proportion of those social customers setting up a Twitter account specifically to reach out to us. Given the limited nature of the pilot, customers wanted an answer to their query, and they wanted it quickly. In fact, the day of launch alone saw us gain 4000 new followers on our @SupercardUK Twitter profile. That's certainly an exciting trend to see when we think about the future of our social engagement strategy.
But for me, the real benefit of delivering this Social Customer Service wasn't just being able to provide customers with a prompt response and reassurance that they were being listened to, but that we were actually able to build ongoing conversations with each and every one of them. Though replying with a quick update or an answer certainly helped alleviate any negative sentiment, what really helped bolster the switch to brand advocacy was our humble tone of voice and our very human demeanor – we showed we cared, not just about their query and getting the issue fixed, but about their future journeys and aspirations. This is really powerful when it comes to building more meaningful relationships with our customers.
"@SupercardUK I just wanted to say how impressed I am with your replies to one and all.Other industries should take note.Well done to you all" - Supercard Customer comment (@mikeswalking)
3)How did you brief your internal team on responding to Supercard queries on social? Process? Replies? Tone of voice?
To be honest, it was a bit of a "war room" situation on day 1 of launch, with myself and a number of the Supercard product and marketing managers huddled around a table frantically typing away and getting as many updates and fixes through the door as possible. Given the nature of the unexpected level of traffic to the site, it was absolutely vital that our social messaging was as accurate as possible so as to not mislead our customers – for this reason, I handled the social queries single-handedly for the first few hours or so, just while we got our story straight (and yes, my fingers nearly fell off but luckily I'm a quick touch typer!). Though it was a highly energized few hours, we kept the spirits high – it was ultimately a great thing to have launched a product that saw such popular demand!
As we got into the rhythm and the status updates and messaging became clearer, I quickly pulled together a Google Doc with the top FAQs coming in through Twitter, double checking with the product managers that the template answers were in fact correct. Once this was done, I immediately shared this with our dedicated Social Customer Support team in Peterborough (a team of 2 at the time) and the UK Community Manager. I ensured the communication loop was always open and that if any other queries came up, that I would update the Google Doc or ask members of the team to send me over any new queries that needed a guide answer.
The Social Customer Support & Community Management teams all also have the Travelex Social Media Playbook, which I created with the view to clarifying the whole Social story – from why we're doing Social in the first place, to how we implement our social content strategy, our tone of voice, our look & feel and even example customer interactions through social. This is essentially our Social Bible, and is useful to have to hand as a core reference tool, alongside a more detailed FAQ guide.
4) What challenges did you face with the campaign overall?
I think the main challenge for the team was the fact that the information was constantly being updated, so it was absolutely key that we were on the same page as each minute and hour passed. I find Google Docs really useful for easy, collaborative working, but it's always a challenge when you're working with a team at a distance.
This was also before we had introduced Conversocial as our Social Customer Support Management platform, so at the time we were using a platform which, though it suited our needs at the time of bringing it on board the previous year, was struggling with the load of queries that a new app launch brought us. We were only able to see the messages coming through chronologically, which made it very challenging to ensure we were answering the right queries in the right order. We found we would either miss customers off completely, even if they had messaged us 4 or 5 times, or would be answering a highly influential user too late, simply because their messages were getting pushed down the inbox in the midst of the white noise.
Luckily, Conversocial has changed the game for us when it comes to effectively prioritizing our inbox. In fact, since Supercard, we have also launched our Travelex Money App, which not only allows travellers to pre-order their holiday money conveniently from their smartphones(to pick up in store or have delivered to their home), but, unlike any other travel money app, it provides guidance on how much you'll need for your trip, based on what others with similar spending habits recommend. For this next launch, we applied a lot of the lessons off the back of the Supercard launch and we were happy to see it go very smoothly indeed. Having Conversocial in place along with a robust FAQ document with numerous scenario plans really helped us with this.
5) What challenges does running a mobile application campaign present to social media customer service?
Mobile apps attract mobile customers, an audience which is used to service on the go and which interacts with brands in the most convenient way possible to them – this is more often than not via Social Media. Having the right support infrastructure to provide efficient Customer Service over Twitter is therefore key. This in itself provides a number of challenges, namely:
- Always-on resource – because Social doesn't sleep!
- Robust & agile FAQ documentation – this needs to be continually updated
- Managing the inbox – a smart social management platform like Conversocial allows us to prioritise & delegate effectively
- Maintaining a clear tone of voice across the team to allow Social agents to reflect the brand's social persona
- Employing the right kind of agent – they need to be able to go above and beyond to fix an issue, as well as create meaningful relationships with customers online
- Understanding the customer – using social data to better manage & tailor customer queries
- Scaling quality – building ongoing relationships takes time, and shouldn't be compromised
There will inevitably be more challenges in the road ahead of us which we'll overcome, but we've learnt a lot this year and have come a long way because of it. At the moment, my focus is on how we expand our capability as a team and scale the quality of our service as the Travelex mobile product offering continues to grow. But with positive customer and industry feedback, I feel we're at least on the right path to success.

Colter Wall – Colter Wall (Young Mary's Record Co.)
It'll only take 15 seconds into "Thirteen Silver Dollars," the opening track from Colter Wall's new release, to have most folks wondering where in the States this greying, grizzled codger with the rusty baritone voice, talk/sung delivery and stripped-down folk approach has been hiding … and how deep is his catalog.(American Songwriter)
Current Swell – When to Talk and When to Listen (Nettwerk)
Already quite a big thing in Canada, Current Swell decamped to Nashville to record part of this latest album, with the remainder being finished at home in Vancouver. It's their sixth full-length release, coming twelve years after their debut So I Say; these guys are clearly in it for the long haul. The four-piece band revolves around their songwriting hub of Scott Stanton and Dave Lang.(American UK)
Eleanor McCain – True North: The Canadian Songbook (Retriever Records)
Canadian songstress Eleanor McCain is set to release her sixth album this month. True North: The Canadian Songbook is a collection of the most cherished songs written, composed and performed by the most influential artists of this country and beautifully interpreted by McCain. The album spans decades creating a playlist that will not only be a commemorative keepsake for Canada's 150th Anniversary, but will also serve as a great reminder of how rich and talented our country truly is. For those of us who grew up in Canada in particular, many songs will remind us of our grandparents and parents. From Gordon Lightfoot to Great Big Sea and of course Leonard Cohen, McCain brings together a well-thought out songbook of 32 titles that will bring a true sense of pride.(The Toronto Guardian)
Hermitess – Hermitess
Jennifer Crighton retreated to a cabin in northern Michigan in the dead of winter to write an album of appropriately desolation-evoking, nature-inspired songs for her debut as Hermitess. Akin to the austere spookiness of Chelsea Wolfe or the more subdued moments of Myrkur, Crighton creates her haunted, distant atmospheres by blending her voice with her harp, sometimes cloaked in waves of distortion, as on "Hush," or letting her instrument ring out, as she does alongside the high-pitched choral vocals of "Blood Moon."(AllMusic) +stream
Scott Helman – Hotel de Ville (Warner)
Finding his musical influences in album-focused artists like Arcade Fire, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, The Cure, Bon Iver and Paul Simon, Canadian singer-songwriter Scott Helman returns May 12, 2017 with his debut full-length album, Hôtel de Ville. Recorded in Toronto at Revolution Recording and produced by Tawgs Salter (Lights, Walk Off The Earth, USS), the album's first official single is the irresistible pop alternative track "Kinda Complicated" which applies breezy, catchy songwriting and winking-lyricism to either a failed relationship or his own daily struggle with ADHD.(The Music Express)
The Road Hammers – The Squeeze (Open Road Recordings/Universal)
Today(Friday May 12th,2017)one of Canada's biggest country groups, Juno & multi CCMA award winners "The Road Hammers" are releasing their 4th album. Rudy Blair Entertainment Media Chats with lead singer "Jason McCoy" about the new LP.."The Squeeze". theroadhammers.com/(Ruby's Reviews)
The Velveteins – Slow Wave (Fierce Panda Canada)
Slow Wave, the debut full-length from Edmonton-based the Velveteins, is a sunny soundtrack to mark the beginning of a hot and dry Prairie summer. Taking cues from '60s pop-rock and psych-garage, the trio have zeroed in on a grittier sound than on their previous two EPs.(Exclaim!)
Zeynep Ozbilen – Zest (Really Records)
Fearless, original, and politically-charged, the widely acclaimed "Jazz songstress" Zeynep Ozbilen is dropping jaws with Zest, her newest album. Backed by an eight-piece band, a string quartet, and guest musicians, Ozbilen leaves no stone unturned when it comes to the quality of the album's instrumentals: after her musical career kicking off in Istanbul at the age of twelve, Ozbilen combines her background of classical singing, her advocacy for multiculturalism and women's rights, and her reworking of traditional Turkish songs to weave a tapestry of both musical and political mastery.(Canadian Beats)
