Because He Wanted To
The final episode of Breaking Bad was a tender goodbye. I’ve watched the entire series with my heart firmly planted in my mouth, but watching the last moments of Walt’s life, his look of contentment as he sees the gas mask he used to wear when cooking, that smear of his blood on metal as he finally collapses to the ground, felt gentle. The great Heisenberg went out with a sigh of contentment, rather than a roar of pride.
For five seasons critics have debated just what about Breaking Bad has captured the American zeitgeist. In some ways, the show is surely emblematic of some pressing cultural concerns—the desperation of the working class and the changing face of American masculinity, for example. But ultimately, the heart of Breaking Bad is not a public service announcement about the dangers of meth, the need for better health care or the importance of family. Breaking Bad is about existential terror. It’s about the choices we make when confronted with death and the disintegration of our own very identity. It’s about the limits of free will and the recognition that we have minimal control over our own destiny. And it’s about how we all push for some kind of a high, even though we know everything we do eventually has an expiration date.
In the end, Walt is a hero and a villain in equal measure. The same Walt who murders his enemies in cold blood is the one who ties his wedding ring to a string around his neck when his fingers become too thin to wear it, just as the same Walt who kidnaps Holly is the one who touches her tenderly in her crib in a final farewell.
Joan Didion once wrote, “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.” Walter White rewrote his story in order to survive. In the final episode we see Walt claiming this story, owning his responsibility in the chaotic landscape that nourished and destroyed him. In the end, Walt’s relationships with the people who meant the most to him were faded fragments from a time when Walt was living a different story, a time when he truly believed that he was making moral choices to protect the family he loved. Nowhere is this clearer than in the final showdown, where Walt is forced to look at the life to which he condemned his former friend and partner Jesse. Even after respect and trust are long gone between Walt and Jesse, there always remains the weight of a sad, long dead love.
I cried watching that last moment of Walt wandering around what, at this point in his life, had become his natural habitat—a meth lab littered with bodies and blood. Walt died very alone, in every sense of the word. His meticulously planned out last hurrah to set things right was, certainly, a suicide mission. In the final episode of the series we see Walt, who had always resisted death at every turn, finally resign himself to it, even though, in true Heisenberg fashion, he went out in his own terms.
The final episode of Breaking Bad gives the illusion of closure, as if the entire world will fade away now that Heisenberg and Walter White are one and gone. In reality, there were things that Walt did that will never be healed. Walt was proud of letting Jane die and poisoning Brock, both decisions which he felt were made out of necessity. But this same Walt was terribly ashamed of his betrayals—leading Hank to his death and losing the love and trust of his only son. Walt’s confession to Skyler, where he says he did it all for himself, that he liked it, he was good at it and it made him feel alive, betrays the weight of his tremendous guilt, but doesn't necessarily give us the whole truth to his story. In earlier episodes one can clearly see a man who is struggling to make moral choices; somewhere along the way his motivations changed. The difficulty in pinpointing that catalyst is what makes Breaking Bad great art and it is what makes this touching, quiet finale emotionally wrenching.
For me, Walt’s guilt tempers those last moments of Breaking Bad, where we see Heisenberg wandering about the meth lab—his reflection beaming back at him, all stretched and misshapen. Walt’s tremendous pride in his creation, his love for his “baby blue” is palpable in that moment, but so is the image of his bloodied hand, tarnishing a space that requires cleanliness in order to make a dirty product a signature product: it got close, but was never 100% pure.

Rapids head coach Oscar Pareja is one of 13 current MLS coaches that also played in Major League Soccer. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Pareja played at least one game regular season game against each of those 12 coaches.
Pareja first played against seven of the now coaches during his 13-game stint with the New England Revolution with which he began his MLS career before moving on to Dallas.
On Sunday, Pareja and the Rapids face the Philadelphia Union - led by head coach Peter Nowak. It was against Nowak's Chicago Fire that Pareja played his first-ever MLS game on June 14, 1998. The Fire defeated New England 3-1 that day with Nowak assisting on the final Chicago goal at old Foxboro Stadium. In all, Pareja and Nowak met 14 times during their playings days:
Regular season games: Pareja was 3-4-1 vs Nowak, registering one goal and fours assists to Nowak's one goal and six assists.
Post-season games: Pareja was 2-3-1 vs Nowak, notching three assists to Nowak's one goal and six assists.
Last week: Pareja and Columbus Crew coach Robert Warzycha met for the first time as head coaches, with Pareja's Rapids claiming the 2-0 win. It was a much different result than when they met the first time as players, when Warzycha's Crew scored six goals on Pareja's Revs before NE got one back in the final minute on August 8, 1998.
In all, Pareja and Warczycha met six times during the regular season as players. Pareja was 2-4-1 all-time against Warzycha, with the Colombian totaling two assists and the Poland-born Warzycha combining for three helpers.

SOTEU promises big on refugee crisis – actions must follow
The President of the Party of European Socialists Sergei Stanishev reacted to the European Commission President Jean Claude Juncker’s State of the European Union speech. “The State of the European Union address given by President Juncker today was a strong, European speech, from a committed European. At this difficult moment for the European Union, he reflected the European values which we all feel, of solidarity for refugees arriving at our shores.
We may often disagree, but I am glad that in this Mr Juncker is supporting European Socialists and Democrats proposals for a common European asylum policy. Europe must act in this humanitarian crisis and create a permanent mechanism of relocation to share the burden. The refugees coming to Europe do so to seek shelter and a safe haven. It is the responsibility of all European Member States to provide them with that, and also to integrate those refugees, and provide them with prospects for the future, for jobs, education and a safe place in which to prosper. I support the use of EU funds to do so.
Simultaneously, it is vital to address the root causes of this migration – and create political stability in the Middle East and Africa. I commend my colleague the EU High Representative Federica Mogherini for her visionary work to institute a strong EU foreign policy and welcome the new emergency trust fund which will allow her more resources to do so further.
We have long been promised action from Mr Juncker on Europe’s social issues. Last year he called for a ‘social triple A’, now he tells us social is at his heart. Yet Europe needs these words to be turned into action. The socialist family is fighting the corner of vulnerable Europeans who bear the brunt of social dumping, downwards wage competition, precarious work and poverty. We heard statements of intent and principles from Mr Juncker but these will be worth nothing if they are not backed up by concrete actions for Europe to protect its citizens and their welfare systems.
Mr Juncker spoke of completing the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) in order to achieve economic recovery. For us in the PES this does not go far enough. EMU reform will not achieve its aims if social cohesion, solidarity, and sustainability are not also acknowledged as equal goals of European economic and monetary policy. We are working with senior politicians in our family to find new progressive solutions to these issues. More austerity is not the answer.”

Hoosick, New York: [Note: one click only for free, after that subscription required]
And to be specific, he picked up dogs, shot them & tossed their bleeding bodies in a manure pile on his farm.
As animal control officer, [Matthew] Beck should have taken loose or stray dogs that he picked up to a local animal shelter. Instead, Beck killed the dogs, disposed of their remains and then forged state documents and filed false reports to cover up.
The good news: He was charged by authorities for his crimes and pleaded guilty. The bad news: Apparently he wasn't cruel enough to warrant any felony charges so he's getting off with two weekends in jail for misdemeanor offenses. So we're straight, I want to clarify that this man was paid to pick up loose dogs and take them to the shelter so they could be reunited with their owners or adopted by new owners if they had none. He was their only chance at life. Instead of doing his job, he shot these pets to death and tossed them in a shitpile. They never had a chance. I think I could have argued for the felony charges.
He ended up getting caught because one of the owners whose dogs he picked up complained to authorities:
The investigation of Beck began after Hoosick resident April Stevens accused him of stealing her dogs, two four-year old Golden Retriever-Rottweiller mixes, Abby and Ginger. Her dogs were never found.[...]
Stevens said that Beck had told her he had picked up two dogs after a woman reported finding them but that they were of a different breed than hers and that he had returned them to their owner. The woman said that she had found the dogs in her barn where they had apparently sought shelter but that they had no collars or identification. She called the police who in turn called Beck. He picked up the dogs.
Beck’s story fell apart when the woman who had found the dogs saw a flyer with the dog’s pictures that Stevens was circulating in her efforts to find her dogs.
As part of their ongoing investigation, State Police executed a search warrant at Beck’s Eagle Bridge property and found the remains of dogs.
I'm sure Mr. Beck thinks it's totally stupid that he has to give up two weekends for shooting the pets he was paid to protect. Sadly, Ms. Stevens has to give up every weekend - and every weekday - with April and Ginger, who themselves had to give up everything.

SOLDOTNA — The Soldotna hockey team defeated Juneau-Douglas 4-2 on Thursday in Railbelt Conference play at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex.
SoHi junior defenseman Aiden Burcham spurred the victory by scoring two goals and also getting an assist. Burcham had a key goal in the third period to stop the momentum of a Crimson Bears comeback.
The Stars move to 8-6-1 overall and 3-2-1 to kick off a busy weekend of Railbelt action on the central Kenai Peninsula.
Today, SoHi hosts Juneau again at 6:45 p.m. at the sports complex, while Homer travels to face Kenai Central at the Kenai Multi-Purpose Facility at 7 p.m.
Saturday, Juneau plays at Kenai at noon, while the Mariners and Stars battle at the sports complex at 7 p.m.
Soldotna showed little rust coming off the Christmas break as Daniel Heath, assisted by Gehret Medcoff, scored just 48 seconds into the game.
After that, the Crimson Bears, who had travel difficulties getting to Soldotna, were able to get out of the first period down 1-0.
In the second period, Burcham started to make his presence felt, assisting on a goal by Boone Theiler and scoring on an assist from Andrew Arthur for a 3-0 lead headed to the final period.
The Crimson Bears and Sam Bovitz made things interesting at the start of the third. With 11:00 to play, Bovitz scored on an assist from Andre Peirovi. Then with 8:51 to play, Bovitz struck again, this time on the power play and assisted by Camden Kovach and Peirovi.
Burcham came through again with 3:12 left in the game, firing a slap shot off the boards. The puck kicked off Juneau goalie Brayden Baxter and into the goal. Heath and Marshall DeRaeve got assists.
Ayden See had 18 saves for the Stars, while Baxter stopped 28 for the Crimson Bears.
Stars 4, Crimson Bears 2
Juneau 0 0 2 —2
Soldotna 1 2 1 —4
First period — 1. Soldotna, Heath (Medcoff), 0:48. Penalties — none.
Second period — 2. Soldotna, Theiler (Burcham), 2:14; 3. Soldotna, Burcham (Arthur), 12:21. Penalties — Soldotna 2 for 4:00.

Your strata scheme may have amended the Model by-laws or have added some of their own. Custom by-laws can be much more rigorous and restrictive than Model by-laws when it comes to noise control and can reflect the level of quiet that owners expect.
The types of things a custom by-law can prescribe include:
- Building works times of the day. Will specify the time and days between which banging hammering, rubbish removal or heavy lift use can be done.
- Flooring materials and quality. A by-law can specify a particular level of sound transfer be achieved. Note: Anything higher that IIC of 55 for timber or tiled floors is generally impractical to implement in buildings with a basic concrete slab as the sound proofing underlay would have to be too high. Because installing a hard floor in lieu of carpet, even with acoustic underlay, will not result is a similar performance to carpet Some buildings By-Laws explicitly indicate that replacing carpet floors with a hard floor finish is not possible. The by-law may go on to state the carpet must be good quality carpet laid over heavy duty underlay.
- Facilities open/close times. Restricting the times of use of some facilities such as the pool or gym may alleviate noise at unhospitable hours in some buildings.
- Permissions for works.Permission to be sought from the Owners Corporation before altering or changing a floor finish. Application for consent must include a report from a qualified acoustic engineer that analyses the acoustic properties of the proposed floor finish. non-specific terms, such as you can’t remove carpet or change the floor covering without Owners Corporation permission and that such permission will only be given provided there is a written undertaking to provide noise insulation to the same level and to remedy any failings immediately if downstairs neighbours are adversely affected.
- Testing required before and / or after works completion. Acoustic performance standard measured in situ for the flooring finish must meet certain criteria. Some buildings By?Laws will require an acoustic report prior to installation and/or testing on completion of the hard floor
- Prescriptive resolutions required for filing to meet noise benchmarks. If an installed floor finish fails the provisions of the by-law, then a Notice may be issued to the lot owner concerned requiring that lot owner to place carpet laid over heavy duty underlay over the installed floor finish
The three areas that custom by-laws are often created to control noise are:
- Building works
|IT IS WISE TO ALWAYS REQUIRE AN APPROVAL PROCESS THAT MUST BE UNDERGONE WITH THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OR OWNERS CORPORATION|
As well, by-laws can refer to ‘guidelines’ or an appropriate process for approval.

Los Angeles, California 90008
The Los Angeles Sentinel is a weekly African-American owned newspaper published in Los Angeles, California. The paper boasts of reaching 125,000 readers as of 2004[update], making it one of the oldest, largest and most influential African-American newspapers in the Western United States. The Sentinel was also noted for their coverage of the changing African-American daily life experience in the post-1992 Los Angeles Riots era.
The Sentinel was founded in 1933 by Leon H. Washington Jr. for Black readers. Since that time, the newspaper has been considered a staple of Black life in Los Angeles. The paper mainly focuses on and thus enjoys most of its circulation in the predominantly African-American neighborhoods of South Los Angeles, Inglewood and Compton. The office is on Crenshaw Boulevard with commercial corridor in the Hyde Park neighborhood which is known as "the heart of African American commerce in Los Angeles".
On March 17, 2004, the Sentinel was purchased and came under the direction of real estate developer and community activist Danny Bakewell. He planned to provide the diversity of thought that exists among African Americans with opinion columns and editorials. He also wanted to cover business and reach young people.

El Paso moves with gusto to the New Urbanist camp
Looking to move beyond its history of sprawling development, El Paso turned to New Urbanism. But instead of hiring New Urbanist experts, the city decided to indoctrinate its staff and private sector designers in the movement’s principles.
“El Paso officials waht [sic] to reinvent the city by following the tenets of new urbanism, which means a greater emphasis on dense, walkable neighborhoods, mixed-use buildings that are street-oriented and more green spaces,” writes Tod Newcombe. “But there was one big problem in making that change: The local development community and the architects were still designing the old-fashioned way.”
So instead of hiring the movement’s leading consultants, the city decided to develop a nine-week training program to introduce public officials and the private sector to new urbanism. “The city has also started requiring that any design firm that wants to do capital work with the city has to have someone on the team accredited in new urbanism practices,” notes Newcombe. “According to [El Paso development director Mathew] McElroy, approximately 100 city staff and 100 private architects and engineers have taken the course and passed the accreditation exam.”

via Phonehenge West creator jailed: When folk art and building codes collide – CSMonitor.com.
New Urbanism’s tenets are simple: Suburban life undermines a sense of community. People spend too much time in their own private space and in their automobiles. Communities should be built at much higher densities. People should be able to walk from their homes to stores.They should be able to hop on a bus or a rail line rather than take their car. Every town should have a vibrant and hip central area, and there should be open space between towns. Cities should grow mostly within existing urban boundaries. Each urban area would have a core, with growth occurring in an orderly diameter around it. Neighborhoods should be diverse, ethnically and economically.

Raul Jimenez responds to Man Utd transfer speculation
Raul Jimenez has rubbished suggestions there is a release clause in his Wolverhampton Wanderers contract.
But he admitted Wolves would stand to make a significant profit on him should they choose to cash in amid reported interest from several clubs including Manchester United and Tottenham.
Jimenez has been nothing short of a revelation since he arrived at Molineux from Benfica, initially on loan.
He scored 17 times in all competitions in his debut campaign and Wolves didn't hesitate to make his stay permanent for a club record fee last summer.
Wolves handed 'Europa League lifeline'
All might not be yet lost in terms of Wolverhampton Wanderers ’ Europa League campaign.
Wolves and Manchester United are currently half-way through their knockout ties with Olympiakos and LASK respectively.
UEFA held a video conference call with the 55 national associations to discuss what to do about football’s lockdown.
The Mirror claim UEFA want to complete the Champions League in August - and are considering a mini four-team tournament.
The Champions League still has two last 16 ties and the quarter finals to squeeze in, the Europa League is in a similar position and UEFA then want to stage their showpiece finals after the domestic leagues are finished.
Wolves fans rubbish James Rodriguez rumour
James Rodriguez’s time at Real Madrid looks to be over with reports in the Spanish press claiming Wolves are among a trio of English clubs wanting to sign the midfielder.
Marca say that Wolves, Everton and Arsenal are interested in the 28-year-old who has fallen out of favour with Zinedine Zidane.
James has scored just one goal and provided two assists in 13 games this season and with only one year left on his contract it is claimed Los Blancos want to cash in on him to avoid losing him for nothing in 2021.
But Wolves fans don’t seem that keen.
Pedro Neto 'always ends up fighting' John Ruddy
Football is currently on pause as players, managers and supporters self-isolate at home to help slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).
The unprecedented halt in play has left Wolves stars missing their teammates, and none more so that Pedro Neto who has been sharing some secrets from behind the scenes at Molineux - including the one player he never fails to come to blows with.
Wolves official website asked the 20-year-old wide man who he would like the be locked in self-isolation with: Easy, his old friend Ruben Vinagre.
But he took a little longer to answer who he would least like to be stuck with as he spilled the beans on his training ground rivalry with goalkeeper John Ruddy.
Khedira linked with Molineux move again
Wolvers are set to see their interest in World Cup-winning midfielder Sami Khedira re-ignited when the transfer window eventually opens, say reports in Italy.
The 32-year-old midfielder was heavily linked with a move to Molineux earlier this season but is said to have rejected the transfer along with a similar deal that would have seen him join West Ham United.
At the time, Khedira was keen to stay in Italy with Juventus ahead of the lucrative arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo - a player Khedira spent five years playing with at Real Madrid.
And that ended the transfer interest - but since then the German international has fallen out of favour with Juve, making only 17 appearances this term and is without an outing since November.

As such, project Pixy was launched to create a new aircraft that would replace our fleet of extremely outdated Talon fighters. After months of laborious research and development the final version of the FJ-15 was completed and is now set for mass production.

Moral Child by William Damon
Book DescriptionAlarming experiences with irresponsible, dishonest and violent children and teenagers are troubling parents, educators and concerned citizens, who wonder what has gone wrong and what can be done. This book offers an overview of the evolution and nurturance of children's moral understanding and behaviour from infancy through adolescence, at home and in school. Drawing on decades of research, the author demonstrates how morality emerges naturally in the context of children's everyday social interaction as they form caring attachments and judgments about fairness. Emphasizing "respectful engagement" between adult and child, he stresses the effectiveness of authoritative - not authoritarian - parenting and school programmes that encourage children to reason autonomously about everyday ethical dilemmas.
