The media will tell you that Superintendent Lowell Billings gave pink slips to hundreds of teachers in Chula Vista Elementary School District.
But it is your fellow readers who will tell you the story behind the story, which is why I'm willing to wade through the bizarre gibberish in the comments section of news stories.
Today I came across this gem:
"April Jehnssen Chula Vista, CA"
"Lowell Billings just came back from a safari in Africa! Did you shoot us any jobs to bring back home Lowell?"
The comment was based on a Channel 7/39 NBC news story.
I'm guessing that the commenter didn't use his or her real name, but he/she raises an interesting question. Did Lowell Billings just get back from a safari in Africa? How about it, San Diego media? Why don't you ask him?
In court last December during the Danielle Cozaihr case, Billings pretty much admitted that all he does is walk around and smile. I think this man needs a pay cut.

For me, Lionel Van Deerlin was always Mr. San Diego
Former US Representative Lionel Van Deerlin died yesterday, and it seems his death was a very good one. He spent his last day putting the final touches on a San Diego Union Tribune column, and died peacefully at the age of 93. We were lucky that he was with us for so long.

Breaking into translation is not easy. I know, I've been there. We all have. Personally, I fell into translation by accident in my early twenties. But accidental or not, following the white rabbit was the best decision I ever made. As it turned out, I have a knack for it and love language and writing. Somehow, I found a way to make a comfortable living from translation. In fact, I was even able to pay my law school tuition with my translation earnings; and now that I am a lawyer-linguist, I make nearly three times what I used to make before law school. So breaking into translation is possible and so is making a decent living from translation. If you're a newbie and you're reading this: don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise. People who have to keep their day jobs have simply failed to take translation seriously enough to make it their full-time profession. And if Darwinism has taught us anything, it's that natural selection has a way of weeding out the weaker links.
So you know you want to be a translator. You have excellent comprehension of your source language(s); you're an exceptional writer in your target language (which should always be your mother tongue, by the way); hopefully you have a strong background in something else (prior profession or valuable experience in a different field); maybe you even have a degree in translation. Now what? Now you're stuck in that vicious circle where you need experience to get clients, but clients don't trust you because you have no experience.
The way I see it, you have two choices. You can take the blue pill and live the illusion of professional translation, applying for bottom feeding agencies who will be happy to hire you for peanuts and forever feed the Matrix with low-end pseudo translation. Or you can take the red pill and find your way to Wonderland, where professional translation is valued and that is reflected in your fees and quality of life. Like Morpheus, I cannot tell you which pill to take, but if you chose the red pill, here are some creative ways to break into translation:
1) Focus on getting referrals
Trust is an important part of the business world despite what Hollywood will have you believe. We are prone to hiring professionals that have been recommended to us by people we trust; and your best clients will come through referrals. Therefore, you need to build a network of people who trust you and your (proven) ability to translate; i.e. people who will recommend you when asked. Building a network takes time and your network should consist of both other translators as well as non-translators. For more on building networks, see my post on how I built my direct client base.
2) Build a portfolio
The fact that you don't have many clients does not mean you can't show off your translation skills. When you're an experienced translator, your portfolio may consist of a list of cool stuff you've translated, but in the meantime, grab things, translate them, and put them on your portfolio. If you want to avoid copyright issues, make sure the stuff you grab for translation is in the public domain or that you did not take more than what can be construed as fair use. Then you'll have something to show people that proves you can do the job. Consider using free online portfolio sites like Crevado, Portfoliobox, or Carbonmade to show off your work.
3) Find a mentor
If you're an ATA member, look into ATA's mentoring program. If not, find a translator who has already achieved the things you want to achieve, approach them, and ask them if they are willing to mentor you. If you find a good mentor, that person will not only teach you about translation, they will also teach you about making a career out of it. On the importance of finding a good mentor, among other things, check out this post on LinkedIn by Louis D. Lo Praeste.
Of course, these three tips are not a magical solution to your problem if you're trying to break into the translation industry. But they're a good place to start. The rest is up to you, your creativity, and your ability to think outside the box and leave your comfort zone.

The men of good will in all nations must understand that the enemy of civilization is fiat money.[1]To the extent that inflation is a necessary effect of fiat money, then fiat money is theft. Money, instead of being a store of value, becomes a store of value subject to piecemeal government confiscation ad lib. to transfer value to strangers whose fortunes it is not your wish to advance.
The difference between a fiat money taking and a burglary of your house is found only in the tool used to gain access to what you have obtained through your labor.
Thus, if government can acquire your property without your consent, just as a burglar can, you live in a lawless society where theft cannot be redressed. In short, you live in an uncivilized society where the government is your enemy. It takes far more from you by way of inflation (and taxation) than any street thug does. You have a modicum of hope of redress against a street thug. Against the government, you have none.

Originally written as 美型妖精! 大混战!, Fighting! Pretty Foxgirl! is a Chinese Manhua made in China. Made to be a Shoujo-like series, it has a mixture of genres such as adventure, romance, action, and comedy. Adapted into TV series.
The Luliu Fantasy Kingdom is home to four great princes with magical abilities and loved greatly by the populace. However, what the people don't know is that the great princes are cursed by a witch defeated years ago. And to suppress this curse, they must devour four souls (one for each prince), which become their wives through periodic contests.
Hu Xianxian, a demon fox and Idiot Hero travel from an academy for monsters to look for the Witch's spell book hidden within the Imperial Palace. She soon joins the competition and, through luck, becomes the wife of the oldest prince. When she learns about their current state, she flees from the palace, but her prince follows her that leads to a complex adventure.
Disclosure: The Manhua is only in Chinese. Tropes may be missing or inaccurate.
Tropes include:
- Anti-Villain: Despite devouring souls due to their curse, the Four Princes are nice people and a few are not wanting to continue with this fate.
- Butt-Monkey: Mei to Huxian despite er loyalty.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Yao. No matter what you do to try calming her temper, she's always angry.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: Mei was bullied for this as a child. Currently, Huxian has no problem with this.
- Made of Explodium: When Prince Hua uses his power to blow up the Fruit Girls when trapped in the enchanted drink, the drink itself blows up the whole juice bar back in the real world.
- When Huxian and Mei are trapped in a sealed container, everything they find unusual that they touch explodes in some way.
- Oh, Crap!: Yao gives this quite a lot.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Prince Feng and his servants trap Huxian and Mei when they find out she's a demon fox.
- Soul Jar: The Princes are this due to their curse. Or at least Prince Xue, who is able talk to her lady wife's soul via dreaming.

As some of you know, owning an aging BMW with more miles on its odometer than a trip to the moon takes some dedication, skill, money, and luck. Most of you are well aware that my ZHP has been busy during its time with me, having taken it from 75k in 2010 to over 312k as of last week. The more I drive it, the more it shows its age, not necessarily mechanically (with one big exception), but cosmetically. It's beat up pretty badly. Mechanical things are more likely to bring my car down for service for longer periods as the bigger ticket items need attention, an engine rebuild being one of them. Being my only car, that could only have meant one thing: I needed a second car.
Enter, "The Vault". The Vault is an E39. The Vault is large. The Vault is quiet. And, more importantly, The Vault will give me freedom for when I decide to give the ZHP some much needed mechanical and cosmetic love. Oh yeah, and save my ZHP from the perils of things such as airport runs and salty roads...
I found The Vault while bored at work on a Friday afternoon, just window shopping for cars like I sometimes do. My sights are usually set on things I can't afford... F31's mainly, but also with plenty of searches for E46 Tourings and things that make actual sense, like... Hon*yawn*das. I didn't have much of a budget because I probably wouldn't have been able to afford it anyway, but I digress.
I found this beastly creature on r3vlimited, of all places. R3v is an E30 enthusiast forum... yeah, an E39 listed on an E30 forum. What are the odds. The listing was posted back in August. Fat chance of that still being around, especially for the asking price of $2500. What the hell - sent a message to the seller via text and went about my day. He responded and said it was still available. Crap.
The next evening, it was in my driveway, assistance provided by the usual suspect (Charlie). Kudos to him for dropping his plans on working on the Speed Sled to help drive Wobz back from Jersey so I can transport The Vault across the [state] border(s). Yeah, my cheapass talked him down to $2000, though that was a figure he was already considering anyway. I'd like to think that was my sharp negotiating skills, but I'd be lying to myself.
What the hell is The Vault, anyway? That is what this thing turns into when you close the door. You feel like you've sealed yourself into a bank vault with nothing but your thoughts, and of course your thoughts of money flying out of the pockets trying to get this thing back into shape. This thing ain't exactly what I'd call mint, but I didn't buy a cheap car because I wanted something mint.
Flawless paint? -- Nah.
Tip top service history? -- What's that?
Gobs of power? -- Dream on.
A manual, at least?? -- Actually, ye... no.
Surely, a winning color combo? -- I laugh in your face.
This is The Vault, a silver-on-grey E39 525iT with a glorious Steptronic automatic transmission. This is what dreams are made of, folks.
Mmmmm, woooooooooood... ish.
I will tell you this... the seller took a lot of photos. For those who need meds for their psychotic condition, you can check out the full album at the following link, but for the more sane of us, I'll just post the juicy bits later on.
(Full for-sale album)
Here's some juicy stats:
* It's an '01, so I can take comfort in it being a facelift. Facelift > pre-facelift, any day of the week.
* This puppy had 162k on it when purchased on 11/03. It now has a little over 164k. Don't you worry - I'm dailying the ZHP now that the E39 has only 3 usable tires out of 6 left.
* Self-leveling suspension in the rear means I'm halfway there to baggin' 'dis bee-hotch!
* There are some nifty options on this sucker:
--- Xenon headlights (not Bi-Xenon, unfortunately)
--- Heated seats, headlight washers, and HEATED STEERING WHEEL!
--- Park Distance Control
--- Sport suspension (no sport seats though, which is fine by me)
--- Style 5's... yeeeeeeeeeeaaaahhh buddy!
--- A lovely juicy tidbit: I've had a set of E39-fitment Style 32 wheels in my mom's garage for years... now I can use them! Remember these from when you bought that Step Orient/NB ZHP, Shawn??
* 3800 pounds and still manages 29mph highway, and 24-26 mpg mixed. How the hell?
So what's wrong with The Vault? Welllll, let's just say it's never heard the terminology "service history". Apart from a new water pump and some belt tensioners, I don't know what's ever been done to this car. Did I at least put that sucker up on a lift? You're damned right I did, even if it was after the purchase. But... details, details. The findings was a mixed bag of the shits and sighs of relief.
The bad:
* I've got enough oil coating the underside components to properly lube the sex industry for the next century. Despite this, it STILL doesn't consume nearly as much oil as my barely-leaking ZHP does, but whatever!
* Some of my sway bar end links, front and back, don't really want to do their jobs. I see layoffs in this car's future.
* Brakes. Need 'em. All of them. Rotors, pads, sensors, you name it. Probably fluid too.
* While the rear suspension airbags are still functional, the rubber on 'em look like they've seen better days.
* This one's got the infamous auto tranny that could at any point decide it doesn't want to engage reverse anymore.
* There's a nasty rust spot on the passenger rocket panel. Wait, rocker panel... WTF??? Yep, the rockers on the E39's are METAL and part of the car's structure.
* The LCD on the radio unit is... let's just say, illegible.
* Since purchasing, I've been chasing SES light after SES light. I never signed up to play 'tag', man! I've replaced the intake boots, resolving one set of codes. Then the light came on again for something else, a fuel tank breather valve flap stuck. Replaced that valve, another code came on. Oh damn it, I didn't quite put the intake boots back on correctly... cleared it again! Phew...
* There are (4) Style 5 wheels with tires, and (2) Style 42's. (2) of the Style 5's are mounted in the front with... 'okay' tread all-season tires that are 7 years old. The (2) Style 42's are on the back, with winter tires that are... let's just say... scary looking. One of them has a gash so deep in it, I can see the steel belt through the crack. How the hell is this thing holding air? Let's not even talk about the completely bald inside edges of these two. Why aren't all four Style 5's mounted? I'll tell you why. One is bent and doesn't hold air, and the other has a tire mounted on it that is beyond corded. Was the car drivable? Yep. Is it drivable now? Nope. One of the fronts decided to let all its air out and I can't fill it back up.
The good:
* New water pump... yay, I guess?
* New tensioners... I'm supposed to yay, again, right?
* A LOT less rust on the underside than I expected. The underside components actually look like I could service them without cussing up a storm and blaming Canada. (I'm looking at you, Spenser!)
* The auto tranny has been properly trained in engaging reverse, so it is doing its job dutifully at this time.
* I've got the 'low' OBC instrument cluster, which means no pixels to die off. This display looks almost exactly like the E46 one, and I do not believe has the typical issues E39 clusters tend to have.
* It is remarkably clean on the inside, and the clear coat issues on the outside are limited to only the plastics. The rear peeling clearcoat is just plastic trim that SHOULD HAVE BEEN BLACK! I guess that's one facelift feature I'm not too enthused about (body-colored bumper and door trim), but this can be solved with some elbow grease and some trim paint.
* Looks like I have won the SES battle. Haven't had a code since, so looks like everything else is working properly.
And now the section you probably scrolled to because you were too lazy to read everything above this... Pics! These were all taken by the seller, so cut me some slack.

Since there is no football going on due to the Coronavirus, I thought I would repost one of our entries from the old Weird IR site about football during unusual circumstances.
When I was young, I remember watching a movie called Escape to Victory in which Rocky, Pelé, and Michael Caine played a football match against the Nazis. Yes, the description sounds great, and the whole thing ended with a Great Escape-style breakout.
Like other war movies, this one bastardized a true story, made all the characters American or English, and had a happy ending. The story Escape to Victory was based on would have made for a better movie. In 1942, after the Nazis invaded and occupied Ukraine, players from the disbanded teams FC Dynamo Kiev and Lokomotiv Kiev were noticed playing on the weekends by German soldiers and were invited to play a series of matches against teams of German and Hungarian soldiers. The Ukrainians destroyed their opponents in every match, embarrassing the Germans enough that the Gestapo rounded up several of their players and sent them to labor camps, where several were put to death. The Soviets tweaked the story to make it more dramatic, portraying a climatic "Death Match" in which all of the Ukrainian players were immediately arrested following a match and soon after executed.
One famous football during wartime story that is used to illustrate the possibilities of international cooperation is that of the WW I Christmas Truce of 1914. As the story goes, British and German troops, facing each other in trenches with little action since the early fall, started singing Christmas carols to each other as the holiday approached. And then on Christmas Day, soldiers came out of their trenches, supposedly at various points along the long front, and engaged in gift-giving and impromptu football matches.
Below is a historical re-enactment of the Christmas Truce football match, courtesy of British comics Hale & Pace.
This last story doesn't take place during wartime, but in North Korea, which is still technically at war with South Korea, so I guess it counts. During the last World Cup in South Africa, the late Great Leader Kim Jong Il famously became so incensed at his team's poor performance in the tournament that he subjected the team upon their return to a public shaming. The coach received worse – he was expelled from the sport and sent to work on a building development.

CRESTWOOD, MO (KTVI) - The battle continued Wednesday in Crestwood over the redevelopment at the Crestwood Mall.
Residents filled out surveys at an open house regarding the project.
The school district and the developers are at odds over tax increment financing that will help push the project forward.
Tax increment financing is a form of tax break to encourage redevelopment.
The Urban Street Group is set to get $28 Million dollars in tax increment financing for the project.
The current plan includes residential housing, which would mean more students might rely on the already overcrowded Lindbergh School District.
However, because of the tax increment financing the district wouldn't get any more property tax dollars to offset the influx of new students.
The developers say they are willing to compromise with the district.
The mayor says the plan could change so everyone needs to be "patient."
The developer plans on presenting the results of the surveys residents filled out to the Crestwood Board of Alderman later this summer.

The Los Angeles Lakers despite declining Jordan Hill's $9 million team option for next season expressed interest Tuesday night in re-signing the free agent big man, according to Mark Medina of the LA Daily News.
The decision to waive Hill's team option for next year was on the sole basis to free up additional cap space to help the Lakers in their pursuit of top free agents such as LaMarcus Aldridge, DeAndre Jordan, and Kevin Love. It is expected that Los Angeles could retain Hill at a discounted price, but at that same notion the 27-year-old has also fielded several calls from other teams.
The Lakers' primary focus at this point in free agency is targeting the top free agent big men. They held a meeting with Aldridge at the onset of the free agency period on Tuesday night, and have additional meetings lined with Jordan and Greg Monroe for Wednesday. The team will also reportedly meet with Love some time later this week.
If Los Angeles were to ink any of these players to a max-contract of a four-year, $80 million it would lock up $18.8 million of their estimated $23 million cap space for this offseason. This makes hard to believe that Hill will return to the team, especially with the Lakers also expressing interest in retaining free agent forward Ed Davis.
Hill spent the last 3 1/2 seasons with Los Angeles after being acquired from the Houston Rockets. He is coming of his best statistical season averaging career-highs in points (12.9), rebounds (7.9), minutes (26.8), and starts (57). Although it was a step up production for the six-year veteran, he struggled at times playing with consistency because of his difficulties adjusting to playing heavier minutes than in years past.

Justice Scalia's Dissent
JUSTICE SCALIA, with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE, JUSTICE WHITE, and JUSTICE THOMAS join, dissenting: ...
... In holding that the Establishment Clause prohibits invocations and benedictions at public-school graduation ceremonies, the Court--with nary a mention that it is doing so--lays waste a tradition that is as old as public-school graduation ceremonies themselves, and that is a component of an even more longstanding American tradition of nonsectarian prayer to God at public celebrations generally. As its instrument of destruction, the bulldozer of its social engineering, the Court invents a boundless, and boundlessly manipulable, test of psychological coercion ... . Today's opinion shows more forcefully than volumes of argumentation why our nation's protection, that fortress which is our Constitution, cannot possibly rest upon the changeable philosophical predilections of the Justices of this Court, but must have deep foundations in the historic practices of our people. ...
In addition to this general tradition of prayer at public ceremonies, there exists a more specific tradition of invocations and benedictions at public-school graduation exercises. By one account, the first public-high-school graduation ceremony took place in Connecticut in July 1868--the very month, as it happens, that the 14th Amendment (the vehicle by which the Establishment Clause has been applied against the states) was ratified--when "15 seniors from the Norwich Free Academy marched in their best Sunday suits and dresses into a church hall and waited through majestic music and long prayers.'' As the Court obliquely acknowledges in describing the "customary features'' of high-school graduations, ... the invocation and benediction have long been recognized to be "as traditional as any other parts of the [school] graduation program and are widely established.''
... I find it odd that the Court concludes that high-school graduates may not be subjected to this supposed psychological coercion, yet refrains from addressing whether "mature adults'' may. I had thought that the reason graduation from high school is regarded as so significant an event is that it is generally associated with transition from adolescence to young adulthood. Many graduating seniors, of course, are old enough to vote. Why, then, does the Court treat them as though they were 1st graders? Will we soon have a jurisprudence that distinguishes between mature and immature adults? ...
The deeper flaw in the Court's opinion does not lie in its wrong answer to the question whether there was state-induced "peer pressure'' coercion; it lies, rather, in the Court's making violation of the Establishment Clause hinge on such a precious question. The coercion that was a hallmark of historical establishments of religion was coercion of religious orthodoxy and of financial support by force of law and threat of penalty. Typically, attendance at the state church was required; only clergy of the official church could lawfully perform sacraments; and dissenters, if tolerated, faced an array of civil disabilities. ...
... [T]here is simply no support for the proposition that the officially sponsored nondenominational invocation and benediction read by Rabbi Gutterman--with no one legally coerced to recite them--violated the Constitution of the United States. To the contrary, they are so characteristically American they couldhave come from the pen of George Washington or Abraham Lincoln himself. ...
Our religion-clause jurisprudence has become bedeviled (so to speak) by reliance on formulaic abstractions that are not derived from, but positively conflict with, our long-accepted constitutional traditions. Foremost among these has been the so-called Lemon test, which has received well-earned criticism from many members of this Court. The Court today demonstrates the irrelevance of Lemon by essentially ignoring it, and the interment of that case may be the one happy byproduct of the Court's otherwise lamentable decision. Unfortunately, however, the Court has replaced Lemon with its psycho-coercion test, which suffers the double disability of having no roots whatever in our people's historic practice, and being as infinitely expandable as the reasons for psychotherapy itself.
Another happy aspect of the case is that it is only a
jurisprudential disaster and not a practical one. Given the odd basis
for the Court's decision, invocations and benedictions will be able to
be given at public-school graduations next June, as they have for the
past century and a half, so long as school authorities make clear that
anyone who abstains from screaming in protest does not necessarily
participate in the prayers. All that is seemingly needed is an
announcement, or perhaps a written insertion at the beginning of the
graduation program, to the effect that, while all are asked to rise for
the invocation and benediction, none is compelled to join in them, nor
will be assumed, by rising, to have done so. That obvious fact recited,
the graduates and their parents may proceed to thank God, as Americans
have always done, for the blessings He has generously bestowed on them
and on their country. ...

UNIFE participates in the Berlin High-level Dialogue on implementing Rio+20 decisions on sustainable cities and urban transport20/06/2013
The Berlin High-level Dialogue on implementing Rio+20 decisions on sustainable cities and urban transport took place on 19-21 June, thereby coinciding with the first anniversary of the Rio+20 conference. Via exchanges of experience and best practices among experts and policy makers worldwide, the event focused on tackling challenges faced by urbanization and the consequential increase in transport demand so that the commitments made are followed through with real actions.
As a major promoter of sustainable solutions for public transport, UNIFE was invited to give a presentation in the framework of a roundtable featuring high-level speakers. Judit Sándor, UNIFE Sustainability and Environment Manager, explained the role that rail transport has in an integrated mass transit system. She highlighted that rail is the backbone of sustainable urban transport, not only from an environmental aspect (CO2 emissions, noise, air pollution…), but also from a socio-economic point of view (e.g., congestion mitigation, job creation). This has become all the more relevant as increased urbanization is expected since developing countries are experiencing strong growth and, as a result, dealing with the new challenges such growth poses.
Several solutions were presented by a variety of transport modes, and it was clear that the rail industry continues to contribute to the realization of a sustainable intermodal transport system. Furthermore, the conference concluded with the common understanding that actions have to be taken to achieve such a transport system, so the challenges faced can be realistically tackled.
UNIFE will continue to follow up on the implementation of the Rio+20 commitments, as well as on the forthcoming COP19 (Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) negotiations due to take place in Warsaw from 11 to 22 November.

Fantasy sports is a relatively new concept in relation to the long history of professional and amateur sports, but over the past half-decade it has become one of the fastest growing industries in both the United States and Canada.
A recent article by Forbes Magazine chronicles the growth of fantasy sports, and estimates that every year, 32 million Americans spend $15 billion playing yearly fantasy sports leagues. Growth in the industry has increased at a rate of about 10-12% annually, and there is little reason to suggest that it will slow any time soon.
The popularity of fantasy sports has spawned a lucrative side-industry in sport-related news and talk. There are hundreds of websites dedicated to fantasy sports, while radio and television shows based on fantasy events are a huge part of mainstream sports media.
Daily fantasy sports are a natural progression for those who play year-long fantasy leagues. Although the concept of daily fantasy sports has been in place for more than five years, it has only been over the last two years that the industry has taken off. Indeed, even taking into account the current rise, the market has barely scratched the surface of DFS' potential.
Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) have similarities to year-long contests, but are very different in a number of respects.
Most of note is the frequency of DFS contests. The majority of leagues begin with the start of the day's sporting events, and don't end until the last game of the evening is over. From there, payouts are sent out by the site, and the whole process starts over a few hours later.
This is in stark contrast to the season-long leagues still favored by most fantasy sports players, where the pace of change can be glacial. In the faster-moving world of DFS, though, punters can draft a team every single day, and can constantly face different opponents in a wide range of contests and sports.
If you're out of the play-off race with your season-long team, or you simply missed your draft, DFS offers the ability to get back into the action. Win or lose, there's always an opportunity to start up another contest the next day.
The number of sports covered by daily fantasy sites is increasing all the time. The most popular games among players are:
We've prepared a General Strategy guide to DFS, so you'll find a lot of useful information to get you started regardless of which variation you intend to play.
There's quite a lot of Daily Fantasy Sports sites, and below we have reviewed some of the biggest and the best that are out there at the moment.
Those familiar with online poker will notice similarities between an online poker lobby and a DFS lobby. Players won't be joining games and sitting down at the poker table, but instead they will be taken to a 'draft lobby' attached to individual leagues.
For the most part, game fees are similar to the rake costs or tournament fees for online poker tournaments. This is usually around 10% of the buy-in amount, but the percentage gets lower as the buy-in amount increases. Players can expect breaks in percentage as the buy-in amount hits $100 or more.
Also like online poker, DFS sites offer a number of bonuses and VIP programs. The industry's rise in popularity has been excellent for players, forcing sites to compete for market share against each other. This has resulted in a slew of better deals across the board for the DFS community.
Deposit bonuses are a constant across every DFS site. These typically take much longer to clear compared to online poker bonuses, but they can range from $50 all the way up to $600. Sites will also regularly offer reload bonuses for seasonal events, such as the start of NFL or NBA season.
VIP programs or similar loyalty schemes are also common. These consist mostly of tiered reward programs which offer incentives for high-volume play.
These are by far the most common types of league offered. While many DFS sites offer "snake drafts" similar to the season-long drafting process, salary cap leagues are the lifeblood of the daily fantasy industry.
The format is simple. Sign up for a league, and draft your team from a fully-priced player pool. The overall wages mustn't be permitted to exceed the "salary cap". A player's salary is relative to their recent performance and upcoming match-up. These salaries are determined by each site's management, and are not shared with DFS punters until the leagues go live.
As I mentioned above, salaries are adjusted according to recent performance, but the change in pricing from week-to-week or day-to-day depends heavily on the sport and daily fantasy operator. Some sites are known for sharper prices on players, while others update them much less frequently.
Salary cap leagues are by far the most played league type, but there are plenty of other options as well. Snake drafts are available on most sites for at least NFL and NBA contests. These operate in the same way as season-long snake drafts. Participants will fill out their roster using the full list of available players. There is no salary cap in this type of league.
Sites have gotten pretty creative with their options, though, and the choices continue to expand. These include pick'em contests, where fantasy stars are pitted against each other, and a number of variations where players are selected from within multiple tiers.
While online gambling is not illegal, many US-based online poker players and sports bettors have been scared away from online gambling sites due to laws that criminalize foreign operators. From an individual legal standpoint, these sites are safe to use, but they lack the regulation and oversight that would be present were the industry legally managed in the US.
Luckily for daily fantasy fans, their legal landscape is rather different. When the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) was passed in 2006, a special exemption was made for fantasy sports and horse racing. Daily fantasy sports, therefore, are legal and fully regulated within the United States. All of the major fantasy sites are based somewhere on US soil.
This means legal protection for customers in a safe regulated environment. The online e-wallet PayPal, along with major credit and debit cards, can be used to deposit and withdraw from DFS sites. Deposits are instant, and cashouts generally take just 24 hours to appear in PayPal accounts.
While DFS is legal on a federal basis, some individual states have laws outlawing real-money fantasy sports. As of 2014, these states are Arizona, Louisiana, Iowa, Montana, and Vermont. These statewide laws supersede federal laws, and DFS sites will not currently accept players from the above states.
For tax purposes, daily fantasy sports are not classed as gambling. However, as with gambling winnings, DFS profits are taxable income. Most sites will send tax forms at the end of the year if a player eclipses $400 or more in net profits. This number for automatic reporting can vary depending on the site.
The vast majority of daily fantasy sports are played by US and Canadian citizens, but the industry has gotten more popular worldwide. This is mostly down to the popularity of cricket, and India is particularly fertile (not to say lucrative) ground for fantasy cricket, with the game played there nearly every day during the season.
Only in the last two years have daily fantasy sports begun to hit mainstream fantasy sites and sports media, but the growth has been substantial. There is easily a million dollars or more on the line every weekend in NFL contests, and tens of thousands of guaranteed money going off each night in MLB and NBA contests. Other sports, such as the NHL and college basketball and football, also have a loyal following of players across several sites.
Even with advertising on ESPN, and partnerships with fantasy news sites, DFS is still largely unknown to the tens of millions of year-long fantasy sports punters. However, player numbers are growing each year, as is the national exposure, and it can only be a matter of time before the year-long crowd become converts. With such spectacular potential for growth, the industry's future looks very bright.

Walk It Out…
Stop and take a moment to meditate on this devotional and more importantly the mighty Word of God. How does this apply to you on today? What are you currently believing God for in your life?

BMW M4 Competition Pack (2016) road test review
Harder, better, faster and, er, more expensive, the Competition Pack cranks the BMW M4 up to 11. For an extra £3,000, the M4 coupe – and its M3 saloon sibling – gain 19 hp, adaptive suspension, sports seats, stylish 20-inch alloy wheels and a fruitier exhaust. Are the upgrades worth it, or is BMW simply gilding the lily?
Prices and deals
At the time of writing, the M4 Competition Pack costs £60,065, or £62,560 with the DCT semi-automatic gearbox as tested. That's about £500 more than an equivalent M3, or £3,000 less than the M4 convertible. However, we found discounts of nearly £10,000 on M4 DCTs via 'reverse auction' website, AutoeBid – so expect similar savings on Competition Pack cars.
What are its rivals?
Until the new Audi RS5 arrives, the M4 has one major rival: the Mercedes-AMG C63 coupe. With 476 hp from its 4.0-litre V8 (or 510 hp in full-fat 'S' spec), the muscle-Merc trumps the M4 for outright power – and has a better soundtrack. However, the BMW is a more satisfying steer on a twisty road. You could also consider the Lexus RC F and Porsche 911 Carrera.
What engine does it use?
The BMW can't match the C63 for cubic inches, but its 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight six develops a stonking 150 hp per litre. For those who struggle with maths, that's a grand total of 450 hp – up 19hp on the standard M4. Maximum power arrives at a heady 7,000 rpm, meaning you need to rev this engine hard to get the best from it. Note the carbon fibre strut brace to stiffen the chassis.
How fast?
You want figures? How about 0-62 mph in 4.0 seconds for the DCT version? Choose a manual gearbox and you'll lag 0.1 seconds behind at the lights. Which serves you right for trying to save money, frankly. Either way, the M4 Competition Pack is 0.1 seconds quicker off the line than the standard car. Top speed is limited to 155mph.
Is it comfortable?
Those 20-inch machine-polished alloy wheels look fantastic, but they don't do ride quality any favours (the regular M4 has 19s). Even in Comfort mode, you feel every ripple in the road surface. That said, the M4 doesn't thump and bang through potholes like some sports cars. And its race-style seats are supportive and well-padded. Full marks for the M-striped seatbelts, too.
Will I enjoy driving it?
Oh yes. The M4 has faced criticism for being too soft, but the Competition Pack sharpens up its edges. It's ferociously fast, and the chassis is a textbook example of rear-wheel-drive adjustability. Well-weighted steering and a flawless semi-automatic gearbox complete the package. Compared to the C63 AMG, you work a bit harder to experience the BMW's ample rewards. But that's hardly a chore, right?
Fuel economy and running costs
The most efficient non-hybrid BMW 3 Series – the 320d EfficientDynamics auto – returns fuel economy of 74.3mpg. The M4 manages less than half that, with official figures of 32.1mpg for the manual and 34.0mpg for the DCT. CO2 emissions of 194g/km mean you'll pay £500 car tax in the first year and £270 per year thereafter.
What's the interior like?
The interior of the 4 Series dates back to 2012. Compared with the latest Audi A4/A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the plastics seem a little cheap and the design a little dated. We can't fault the ergonomics, though. Traditional BMW white-on-black dials and a centre console angled towards the driver were supplemented by an £825 head-up display in our test car. There's also the excellent iDrive media system, which we'll come to in a minute…
Is it practical?
For anyone who's ever squeezed into the back of a Porsche 911, the M4's two proper, adult-sized rear seats will be a revelation. It's a little dark back there, and access is awkward behind the bulky sports seats. But if you regularly carry passengers, you could always buy the M3 saloon instead. The M4 also has a decent 445-litre boot – about the same as a Nissan Qashqai.
Tell me about the tech
We rate BMW's iDrive media system as the joint-best available, along with Audi's MMI. Its widescreen display is mounted high on the dashboard, and the 'clickwheel' controller is easy to operate without taking your eyes off the road. It's far superior to Mercedes' Comand, and we prefer it to the various touchscreen systems available, too. Standard kit includes Bluetooth phone connectivity, DAB radio and in-car wi-fi. We'd also be tempted to splash out £675 on the premium Harmon Kardon hi-fi.
What about safety?
The closely-related BMW 3 Series scored a full five stars in Euro NCAP crash tests, and there's no reason to think the M4 would be any different. All cars come with side and curtain airbags and advanced stability/traction control. Even so, with 450 horses on tap, the biggest threat to your safety (and driving licence) will be your right foot…
Which version should I go for?
The obvious question here is: should you go for the Competition Pack? We certainly would, and BMW expects 70% of buyers to follow suit. With improvements to performance, handling, noise and appearance, the Competition Pack simply makes for a better M4. And its £3,000 additional cost looks modest in the context of a £60,000 car. The only downside is the firmer ride, but we think that's a fair trade-off for improved agility.
What's the used alternative?
If you don't have £60,000 to spend on a new M4, the E46 M3 offers just as much fun – perhaps more – for a fraction of the cost. Built from 2000-2006, it's powered by a 343 hp naturally-aspirated six redlined at 8,000 rpm. Responsive and rear-wheel drive, the E46 remains one of our favourite BMW M cars. Prices start at just £7,000, although we'd budget at least five figures for a good one.
Should I buy one?
Cards on the table, we prefer the titanic torque and aural drama of the Mercedes-AMG C63 to the subtler charms of the M4 Competition Pack. The BMW would best for a track day, but the more exciting Mercedes has the edge on the road. There's also a BMW M2-shaped elephant in the room. Smaller, cheaper and more fun, the new M2 is our current favourite M car.
Pub fact
Even the Competition Pack enhancements don't make this the hottest M4. That honour goes to the M4 GTS: a lightweight, 500 hp rival for the Porsche 911 GT3. With two seats, a front splitter that doesn't do speed humps and a price tag of, ahem, £122,000, the GTS gives two fingers to everyday usability in favour of track-focused performance. One for the lottery-win garage, perhaps?

Apple is celebrating 30 years since the creation of the Mac lineup of computers. Before Apple was synonymous with the iPod, iPad and iPhone Macs were the reason the company survived. Well that and Steve Jobs' relentlessness.
In honor of the 30th anniversary Apple has created a whole subsection of its website dubbed 30-years which focuses on people whose lives were influenced by the Mac. Various artists, musician Moby, designers and many more, each representing a different year and subsequent Mac device.
Here's the video itself. You can also tell Apple what your first Mac was and what you've used it for. And there's a nifty breakdown of Macs taken from user submissions.
