A Brief History of Fisherman’s Wharf:
Fisherman's Wharf gets its name and neighborhood characteristics from San Francisco’s earliest days when Italian immigrant fishermen arrived in San Francisco in the mid to later 1800s. The fishermen took advantage of the increase in people moving to the city due to the gold rush.
Most of the Italian fishermen took homes in this area of the city and in the North Beach neighborhood. Many of the fishermen made a life fishing the waters off San Francisco often in pursuit of the popular Dungeness Crab so many come to Fisherman’s Wharf to enjoy. From these early days until now, San Francisco and Fisherman’s Wharf have been the center of the fishing fleets of San Francisco.
Visitors to Fishermen’s Wharf can walk down the pier and still see the many fishing boats with their traps and nets on the docks and on board…for the fishermen it is a day at the office, but for us common people it is an interesting sight to see.
Things to do at Fisherman’s Wharf:
Fisherman’s Wharf is one of the most popular attractions in all of San Francisco and even in California. The popularity of Fisherman’s Wharf is due to its location, right on the water of course and for all the amazing things to do, see and experience on the Wharf.

Facts about Fisherman’s Wharf:
- In the very beginning of the development of the area, Chinese immigrants fished for Oysters, Shrimp, Salmon and other fish to feed the miners in the area for the Gold Rush. Then came the Italians who joined in selling seafood.
- The famous Eagle Café was originally located where the Pier’s parking lot is located now, and the entire Eagle Café building was moved to its current location.
- Fisherman’s Wharf is popular to say the least! It attracts more than 12 million visitors each year putting it in 3rd place for most visited attraction in the country only behind Disneyland and Disney World.
- According to the numbers cited by the city way back in 2009, there are 1,701 Sea Lions -obviously there must be more of the sleeping giants hanging around now.
- Who loves Chocolate? Then stop by Ghirardelli’s Square. Years ago, Domenico Ghirardelli bought the entire city block for his chocolate factory in 1893. The factory relocated years later, and the square evolved into a retail area that it is today.

This is my promised column on data security and the Internet of Things (IoT). The recent Dyn DDoS attack showed the IoT is going to be a huge problem as networked devices like webcams are turned into zombie hoards. Fortunately I think I may have a solution to the problem. Really.
I’m an idiot today, but back in the early 1990’s I ran a startup that built one of the Internet’s earliest Content Distribution Networks (CDN), only we didn’t call it that because the term had not yet been invented.

The Waves project has revealed a series of major updates to its platform, including an improvement to its consensus protocol and the arrival of ‘sponsored transactions.’ These updates are a part of version 0.13.2 of the mainnet.
In addition to the latest mainnet release, the Waves team has also redesigned the DEX, added Monero to the list of cryptocurrencies on the client, created a forum and launched an ambassador program.
The new version of the DEX will be released this month and includes bug fixes and other minor changes. The ambassador program is part of a larger trend where projects are leveraging the enthusiasm of users to help grow the platform. Likewise, to offer a more organized community discussion channel, the team has created a forum that is already ready to use.
While the technical details on this development seem a bit fuzzy—the team has provided technical documentation here—it appears that the data transactions feature allows anyone to post information on the blockchain, which can then be used to verify authenticity (as the hash value is unique) and/or provide data to a smart contract for further use. 1kb of data transactions will cost 0.00001 WAVES and transaction sizes are limited to 140kb, which brings it to 0.14 WAVES.
A Fairer Proof-of-Stake Protocol
Though it is an improvement over Proof-of-Work protocols, the trouble with Proof-of-Stake is that it, too, can be monopolized through pools that own large stakes of the token. This is a problem that all major PoS platforms face, and the recent update by Waves eliminates some of the disadvantages that smaller stakers face, allowing them to create more shares of blocks.
Sponsored transactions is just what it sounds like—users can pay for a node’s service with custom tokens. These are then deposited against WAVES tokens which are used to pay the node. The idea is to keep the demand for WAVES tokens up. The team is also appealing to users’ desire to pay in alternative tokens. Essentially, the custom token is used for the transactions, but the miners get the transaction fee from the user’s WAVES tokens.
Burn Transactions for All
Waves users now have the ability to burn tokens, which is useful because it appears that some users are receiving spam tokens of little value. Given that new tokens can be launched quite easily, the team decided to provide a solution to eliminate them easily as well.
Some of these tokens have been moved to a spam section, but it will be possible to destroy them entirely with the new feature. This feature is expected to be available at the end of June.
Great news! #Waves Node had a major update today! Data transactions, Fair PoS, token burning and sponsored transactions will be available for all #WavesPlatform users soon: https://t.co/0z2PbVoBpk#Blockchain #Cryptocurrency #Crypto #Fintech $WAVES pic.twitter.com/WkuIzh3r5R
— Waves Platform (@wavesplatform) June 7, 2018
The new changes occur as all cryptocurrencies are suffering from a tempestuous month of volatility. Disregarding all of that, the team seems focused on hitting their milestones for a monumental year of development.
Atomic swaps are planned for Q2 2018 and it will be an undeniable factor in deciding whether Waves will grow in recognition. The last quarter of the year hopes to introduce lite-client compatibility and Turing complete smart contracts, which is a critical step towards mass adoption and strong network performance.
As Q2 comes to a close within a few weeks, we can expect to hear similar changes and updates as we wait on the progress of major milestones. No word has been given yet regarding atomic swaps, which is a very exciting development, but with any luck, the team will have it out by the deadline.

The transmissibility of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 appears to have affected many attendees on the ETHDenver developer convention, who reported signs and optimistic take a look at outcomes following the occasion.
Many social media posts from ETHDenver attendees after the conclusion of the Feb. 11-20 convention declare they examined optimistic for the virus. An area information outlet reported that greater than 12,000 folks from 100 nations attended the occasion, which resulted in lots of infections amongst each the vaccinated and unvaccinated.
— T h i r okay (@theThirk) February 22, 2022
In accordance with ETHDenver’s COVID insurance policies, attendees and workers had been required to “take a fast [antigen] take a look at, on-site, previous to choosing up their badge” and requested to not go to any of the occasion’s in-person venues if exhibiting signs. Nonetheless, the convention didn’t implement a vaccine mandate, mentioned that solely “some public places” required individuals to put on masks, and didn’t point out social distancing.
Regardless of these measures, many attendees posted photographs of positive COVID-19 tests or in any other case reported experiencing signs. The road for testing had ETHDenver company ready outdoors within the winter climate and photographs from the occasion appear to counsel folks carrying masks had been within the minority. The occasion can also be presently wrapping up a three-day snowboarding retreat to Breckenridge.

“None of that is shocking,” said Time workers author Andrew Chow, who examined optimistic for COVID-19 after leaving the crypto convention. “Hundreds of individuals from all over the world descended up on a number of indoor areas […] and proceeded to speak loudly in one another’s faces for hours on finish. Folks carrying masks had been few and much between, and social distancing was nonexistent.”
Many U.S. states have dropped masks mandates in latest weeks because the variety of day by day COVID instances fell from greater than 1 million in January to a seven-day common of roughly 80,000 on the time of publication, based on data supplied by the New York Instances. The variety of instances in Denver County appeared to have adopted this nationwide pattern, with a weekly common of 177 as of Feb. 23.
“Attendees joked that ETHDenver 2020 had been one in all COVID-19’s preliminary superspreader occasions. The 2022 version was a reminder that the pandemic continues to be totally in swing, regardless of how a lot folks need to put it behind them.”
The CDC recommends each vaccinated and unvaccinated people put on a masks in “areas of considerable or excessive group transmission.” As well as, it means that “everybody ages 5 years and older” ought to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
Although vaccines have been largely out there to most U.S. residents for greater than a 12 months, different giant gatherings within the crypto house have produced comparable outcomes. Some media shops referred to as the Bitcoin 2021 occasion in Miami a “tremendous spreader occasion” after many attendees reported testing positive for COVID-19 upon returning house — greater than 12,000 folks had been on the Florida convention.

As Philadelphia Revitalizes, “Hidden City” Spotlights the City’s Past
Visit Hidden City Philadelphia 2013 this weekend, before it closes
The post-industrial decline of American cities has long been a source of handwringing for planners and politicians, but for a less vocal constituency, it has also created a vast playground. From ravers to punks, the abandoned buildings that litter the urban landscape have long been the source of cheap, impromptu venues. For graffiti artists, the neglected city became a nearly endless canvas. The less boisterous and merely curious, meanwhile, have coalesced under the heading of “urban explorers” who poke around rusting infrastructure, climb into open manhole covers, and follow their noses onto closed-off properties. Some groups, like Paris’ mysterious UX, are legendary for their exploits.
In Philadelphia, a poster child for post-war decline now on the rebound, that impulse has led to the second quadrennial iteration of Hidden City, a six-week festival that attempts, according to Peter Woodall, community relations director and himself a connoisseur of Philly’s abandoned buildings since his teenage years, to “introduce the city to people who already live here.”
In 2009, that meant staging performances in extravagant but derelict spaces that were hiding in plain sight tantalizingly close to bustling Center City, like the Metropolitan Opera House. The spotlight generated enough interest to catalyze the slow process of preservation, restoration, and reuse for some of the sites. Four years later, the focus has changed on the one hand to promote socially engaged artistic installations and on the other hand to expand its geographic scope.
More from Metropolis
In just a short time, the ongoing revitalization of downtown Philadelphia has shrunk the inventory of abandoned buildings that no one knows about, but also became an opportunity to shine a light on the diverse neighborhoods where the conditions of urban disinvestment are depressingly pervasive. Still the country’s fifth largest city, but also a quarter smaller than its peak population of around two million, Philly’s colonial vintage and Industrial Revolution growth spurt provided it with a wealth of architectural styles and historical sites that few of its peers can match. The result is an impressive and balanced mixture that draws as much on occupied buildings, from the monumental to the vernacular, as it does on Hidden City’s stock in trade of vacant spaces. With nine locations spread out across the city, there is, as the cliché goes, something for everyone, from preservationists to architects to amateur field naturalists to history buffs.
The newcomers to the Hidden City leitmotif are indeed some major Philly landmarks, if lesser known than the Liberty Bell, presented with a twist. The Athenaeum, housed in a handsome Italianate-Revival brownstone, is a member-supported library founded in 1814 with a focus on American architectural history. Its collection is not open to the public – hidden, in its own way – and it took some serendipitous archival research to uncover both Edgar Allen Poe’s signature in the register from 1838 as well as the Athenaeum’s book on the one-time Philadelphian (1837-1844), whose only surviving home in the city is a National Historic Site. For artist Ruth Scott Blackson to make the cognitive leap from the book’s black-and-white description of Poe’s house to extrapolating actual hues from the Munsell color system recreation is marvelous but also pragmatic, suggesting a tool for preservationists working hand in hand with architects on restoration projects.
Across downtown on the banks of the Schuylkill River, Hidden City gained access to a disused swimming pool in the otherwise very active Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center, a popular destination for school groups in the magnificent early 19th century complex of Palladian façades now on the National Register of Historic Places. Inspired by an era when municipal waterworks were worthy of architectural distinction, artist collective Camp Little Hope has turned the former natatorium into a bibotorium (“drinking space”), and set up a bar made of salvaged wood in the empty pool in order to serve homemade iced tea. The situation highlights the limits of Hidden City’s ambitions:
Plans to refill the pool were nixed because it’s no longer watertight, while brewing beer with Schuylkill water was also off limits. But the resulting installation takes an innocuous concept and turns it dystopian, with the concrete bowl serving as an ongoing boat-building workshop for speculative futures in which climate change has flooded the streets, the water supply privatized and sold to Coca-Cola, or fracking for natural gas has poisoned the groundwater. As artist Isabella Martin pointed out to me, the latter two are not merely futuristic. The existence of the Water Works is a testament to a 19th century decision not to privatize water, and the Schuylkill suffered the intense impact of coal mining in the early 20th century. Drifting lazily outside the window and just below the gazebo that is a classic Philadelphia wedding photo-op, the river water makes a turn from picturesque to sinister.
Reminding urbanites of the nature in their midst is another strength of this year’s Hidden City. Indeed, the Bibotorium sits just a few yards off the Schuylkill River Trail, the region’s most popular spot for joggers and cyclists, and it continues to inch its way downriver, piece by piece, into the industrial maw of oil refineries and scrap yards that characterize the waterway as it dumps into the Delaware River. Ambitious trail advocates hope for an eventual extension all the way to Revolutionary War-era Fort Mifflin at the Schuylkill’s mouth, tucked behind the Philadelphia International Airport. Yet despite the engineered landscape – the porous riverside, dotted with islands, was drained and filled over the 19th and 20th centuries – a remarkable oasis of wetlands and wildlife remains on the grounds outside the fort’s walls, also on the National Register.
The marshy trails, dotted by the ruins of an aborted gun emplacement, became Ben Neiditz and Zach Webber’s setting for a motley collection of tree-houses, teepees, and shacks cobbled together from the detritus and driftwood that washes up on the riverfront beach. The installation feels hidden even from the site itself. I ultimately had to ask a colonial re-enactor, who was more interested in firing muskets to the delight of elementary schoolers, to point me toward the sea wall that led off into the woods. Once there, my incertitude about whether a given lean-to was part of the exhibit or somebody’s temporary shelter (homeless encampments crop up under bridges, why not behind the airport) was apparently intentional. As Neiditz explained in an e-mail interview, “It is this unsettling or destabilizing effect of not knowing and the subsequent creation of multiple narratives that we wanted to maintain in our current installation.”
Ruins at High Battery
Conjuring up both the innocence of backyard tree forts and the hard realities of tropical shantytowns, Neiditz continued, “It became clear that we were applying our own fantasies to the landscape: [. . .] 1800’s marsh settlements, post-apocalyptic sci-fi, environmental crisis, and fairy-tale evil.” The high-minded conceptualism may not resonate with all visitors, but the payoff at the end of the trail, an elaborate structure whose ladder-accessible top window has a unique postcard view over the skyline, certainly will.
Back in the heart of the city, Hidden City draws on an eclectic selection of places where installations will hopefully catalyze reuse. Germantown Town Hall, an ornate, rotunda-capped Beaux Arts treasure, was built in 1915. It towers over a proud neighborhood, nearly as old as Philadelphia and an independent municipality until 1854, that has been enamored of the opportunity simply to walk inside, as the doors have been shuttered since 1998. By making visits free for neighborhood residents, Hidden City is stimulating a community conversation about the building’s future. Shivtei Yeshuron-Ezras Israel, aka “The Little Shul,” is the last testament to Jewish row-house life, a synagogue crammed into the first floor immediately past the iconic marble stoop. While hardly abandoned, the possibility for Hidden City’s building-scale knitting project to inject new blood into the older congregation – plenty of young Jews have moved to gentrifying South Philly without knowing about the neighborhood’s pre-war demographics – could very well translate into a packed sanctuary come Rosh Hashanah.
Last and most promising, according to festival organizer Woodall, is Hawthorne Hall along Lancaster Avenue, the country’s first private turnpike, in a part of West Philadelphia revitalizing under the watchful eye of Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania. Once a fraternal lodge, the decaying interior has been magically transformed by artist collective Rabid Hands into an imagined secret society. An incredible attention to detail reveals hallways, a sanctuary, a dining room, secret doors, and seemingly endless rooms to explore, decorated with curio cabinets and ephemera that evoke the mythical Society of Pythagoras through the eerie recurrence of a geometric symbol.
Society of Pythagoras
The imaginative interior decoration, largely accomplished with recycled or repurposed materials, is easily the festival’s most immersive experience, reminiscent of The Pier Group’s derelict Spanish galleon at last year’s Burning Man art festival, replete with a page-turner of a captain’s log. Disappointingly, the Pythagoras artists decamped to Paris for another commission, unable to deliver on their interactive promise of initiation rites and mysterious ceremonies for festivalgoers. But the richness of Hawthorne Hall, the open windows peering over a neighborhood in transition, is a clear reminder of how potent a canvas the city can be as not just a tabula rasa like the Black Rock Desert, but a social organism where art and design have tangible consequences.
Hidden City Philadelphia runs Thursday-Sunday every weekend until June 30.

Bigger batteries: More Ah needed?
It’s a complaint I often hear – ‘My leisure batteries aren’t big enough and they keep going flat quickly.’
This blog is primarily aimed at motorhome, RV, campervan, caravan, commercial vans, boat and yacht owners – concerning the issue of more battery capacity needed, with different ways to achieve that.
When running out of amps many assume their leisure batteries have failed, yet often this is not the case. It’s more how, where, when and what the batteries are used for. Things like cold temperatures, high loads and deep discharges affect battery capacity (Ah) and life. And certainly these days we often place greater demands on leisure batteries than the original system design may have intended. This presents a dilemma.Continue reading

Even with something as complicated as a robot, simple works best.
That’s the lesson the Gravesend All-Stars team learned as winners of a robotics competition over the weekend at the Brooklyn Public Library.
Their robot — built with a Lego Mindstorm EV3 kit — was less complex than others in the contest held Saturday at the Library’s central branch at Grand Army Plaza.
“Ours was just two arms and some wheels and that was it,” said Rowan Walters, 12, a sixth-grader at Bay Academy and member of the Gravesend All-Stars team.
Rowan figured the simplicity of her team’s robot brought victory in the competition, in which kids programmed their machines to clean up the aftermath of a simulated natural disaster.
“Other teams had these big designs, with multiple gears and other motors,” Rowan said.
Another factor, said teammate and Brooklyn School of Inquiry student Sherlyn Wu, 12: “Other groups would occasionally change the speed” of their robots. “Ours went full speed ahead the entire time.”
The teams programmed the robots to carry out tasks like clearing fallen branches, moving miniature ambulances and supply trucks, and altering the position of an evacuation sign.
Angelique Lopez, a fourth-grader at Public School 132 and a member of the Bushwick Robotics team said the contest taught her a lot about teamwork.

Green Packaging Stuff
As South Africa continues to defy the global economic downturn by annually lifting the export of its packaged wines, it is making concerted moves to lower the weight of its wine bottles and so maintain its status as one of the world's most eco-progressive winemaking nations and a leader in production integrity.
It's coming up to Easter, and shops in most Western countries will be filled with chocolate Easter Eggs. But in the UK, at least, consumers will be able to buy their eggs with a clearer conscience, because some of the leading brands on the market have significantly reduced the packaging they use. This is but one of many 'green' initiatives from leading food and beverage companies, as outlined in this excellent article.
When it comes to effective palletising, stretch film and hood wrapping are today's norm, with film having the key advantage of being able to contain loads regardless of surface structure or dimension. Now, however, as we enter the era of sustainable packaging and film's hegemony is being challenged by old adhesive technology.

Saranac Lake reloads for another run
SARANAC LAKE — The Saranac Lake track and field team rarely lacks for numbers and this year is no exception as dozens of student-athletes will compete.
Coach Cy Ellsworth said the boys team is deep this year in all aspects, and added that some of the athletes in the middle of his pack would be on top at other schools.
“I think we have an opportunity to push for the league championship. I think it’s going to come down to us and Saranac (Central),” Ellsworth said. “We think that we can push for that league championship, provided we stay healthy.
“We’re really deep in the throws. We think we have the top discus thrower in the league; we have the top shot putter in the league by several feet. And with our cross country guys coming over, we’re really deep in the distance events. Those guys push each other every day in practice.”
Patrick Alberga is the lead shot putter, while Jonathan Hewitt leads the way in discus. Each thrower is hoping to break the school records this season.
The track and field team will benefit from having a number runners from the fall’s cross country team, which won the Class C NYSPHSAA state title.
On the girls side, coach Jason Wamsganz said the upperclassmen should lead the way as they look to improve each week.
“Our focus will be on getting better from a mental as well as physical standpoint each week. We are a middle of the pack team which has our eyes set on getting better by sectionals,” he wrote in an email. “We have some experienced athletes who are very committed in getting better individually as well as collectively. Our leadership will definitely provide a spark for team unity, team goals and ultimately team success.”
Senior Edina Cecunjanin said she’s looking to set some personal records, and hopes her teammates can do the same.
“I’m just hoping for some PRs and for our team overall to do well in sectionals,” she said. “Our goal is to bring as many kids to the state meet as possible, and for everyone to do their personal best.”
Anderson Gray, a senior who was on the state championship team in the fall, said he and his teammates have high expectations for themselves. Gray will continue his running career at University of Montevallo in the fall.
“We’re shooting for the stars, which I always kind of do,” he said. “We’re all good. In terms of goals, I’ve got some hefty ones.”
The Red Storm track and field team is slated to open the season on Tuesday, April 23 at Beekmantown.


The 17-year-old is a massive fan of the superhero movies, TV shows and characters, and waited for hours outside The Piece Hall - which had been transformed into a set for the making of the forthcoming Marvel series Secret Invasion - hoping to catch a glimpse of some of her idols.
Hollie suffers from a rare skin condition which means her skin blisters at the slightest touch and can shear off entirely. It has left her needing a wheelchair most of the time as her body is exhausted constantly trying to heal itself, but she was determined to brave the freezing cold to be close to the action.
While waiting, she and her mum, Leah Fairbank, got talking to the production's security team and crew. They brought the teen blankets to keep her warm, as well as food and hot drinks.
Then the pair were told Cobie Smulders, who plays Maria Hill in the series, had been asked if she would give Hollie a wave the next time she came out. The actress went one step further and came over for a chat and even posed for selfie.
"Hollie was gobsmacked!" said Leah.
The same day, Hollie also got a wave from none other than Hollywood megastar Samuel L Jackson, who plays Nick Fury.
When they returned the following day, they were able to watch Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke filming a scene right outside The Piece Hall. Then, to top it all off, Hollie and her mum were invited inside for a special secret trip onto the set.
"It was fantastic," said Leah. "Everybody was lovely.
"The producers and directors came over to talk and Hollie spoke to Kingsley Ben-Adir. He was really lovely and was very excited that Happy Valley was being filmed here!
"She's been living on a high ever since.
"She's just so happy. Her dad said he hadn't heard so happy for a long time."
Hollie has always liked Spiderman, Leah said, but her Marvel obsession grew after being invited to a special screening of one of the films by Spiderman star Tom Holland in 2019 by Brothers Trust.
The organisation was set up by Tom Holland's parents to support charities including debra, which helps people, like Hollie, with Epidermolysis Bullosa.

Louisiana Republicans didn't have to wait for the voters to speak this fall to reach their next political milestone.
Attorney General Buddy Caldwell, the last major official in Baton Rouge to still call himself a Democrat, isn't one any longer. Caldwell's long anticipated switch gives the state GOP a clean sweep of major state-level offices and leaves U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu as the Democrats' sole sitting statewide pol.
This marks a total reversal of fortune in a remarkably short period of time. As recently as 2005, every statewide official in Baton Rouge was a Democrat -- although one, Secretary of State Al Ater, was just filling the seat on an interim basis, and another, Treasurer John Kennedy, would become a Republican before seeking re-election.
Soon enough, though, the electorate's slow-but-steady rightward shift showed up in the voting patterns. By 2007, just two Democrats were able to put together winning efforts: Then-Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu, who showed an unusual talent for transcending party lines, and Caldwell, who ran a decent enough campaign but also got plenty of help from a flawed opponent. Once Landrieu left to became mayor of New Orleans, only Caldwell remained.
In truth, Caldwell had dropped numerous hints that he'd rather be playing for the other team. When he joined the 26-state legal challenge to President Barack Obama's health care bill -- becoming the only Democratic A.G. in the country to do so -- he could have just said he was acting as a Republican governor's designated lawyer. Instead, on one of the most divisively partisan issues of our time, he chose to parrot GOP talking points.
"If Congress could force Americans to buy health insurance, it could force Americans to buy anything," he said in a written statement this week after a Florida judge deemed the measure unconstitutional.
That may be a winning position among the majority of Louisiana's voters, but for those Democrats who believe the federal government should ensure universal care, it makes him a less-than-ideal standard bearer.
Caldwell has rarely given any indication he cared what those folks think anyway.
He's never been out front in promoting fellow Democrats.
His office has gone to the mat defending against a lawsuit from two gay men who adopted a baby from Louisiana and wanted a state birth certificate listing both of their names. This is a case that has drawn sharp interest from both gay rights advocates, who tend to lean Democratic, and religious conservatives, who share Caldwell's stance.
Even on one issue where Caldwell has adopted a predictably Democratic position -- in support of last year's failed attempt to allow the attorney general's office to pay outside lawyers' contingency fees -- Caldwell let state Senate President Joel Chaisson, a trial lawyer in civilian life, do much of the heavy lifting.
Probably none of his rightward posturing would have saved Caldwell from a Republican challenge this fall. Indeed, if he ever wondered whether having a "D" next to his name is a liability in the state's current political environment, he'd only need to consider Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter's spectacular success last year in linking conservative Democratic opponent Charlie Melancon to Obama's policies.
State Democrats, meanwhile, have already started pitching the idea that Caldwell's decision is based on expediency rather than principle, but I'm guessing he doesn't find that prospect nearly as frightening as winding up in Melancon's shoes.
Still, there is one potential silver lining for Democrats. Without nervous middle-of-the-roaders like Melancon and Caldwell to worry about, they can finally focus on developing a coherent philosophy and try to sell it.
Now's as good a time as ever. What more do the Democrats have to lose?

To most people, the word ‘sleuth’ means a private detective, but it’s also the collective noun for a group of bears! Bizarre but true. Birmingham brought both definitions together in the summer of the 2017 and the Sun Bear, the world’s smallest species of bear (now threatened with extinction) is the inspiration for a brand-new sculpture for this event. Many of our bear-illiant corporate partners sponsored the bears, and saw their company logo appear on the sculpture's plinths along with a description of the inspiration behind each bear. We want to say a huge thank you to all of our corporate supporters who sponsored a bear, took part in the trail or bid generously at the auction. The trail came to a roaring end as on Thursday 12 October, 91 bear sculptures raised £270,281 for Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity at The Big Sleuth Auction.

|Butterflies and The Wait|
Chapter 5: Butterflies and The Wait
Excitement swelled in her chest. She looked in the mirror while a maid did her hair. Was she nervous? Excited? Or just flat out all of them together?
She turned toward the voice. It was a slender women who had her hair down in a ponytail, which was odd for a maid to have her hair done in that style.
"Your mother was wondering if you were ready," she asked.
"Almost," Ursa answered. "Will you please tell her that I'll be down in a minute?" She ended the sentence with a small smile that didn't give away how nervous she really was.
"Yes, your highness," the maid said, bowing out of the room.
For some strange reason, she felt a little bit of the nervousness go away. Looking back at the mirror, Ursa lifted her head higher. She was more confident now, but her stomach was still turning. She finally made up her mind that she was both, excited and nervous.
Her maid was finished. Hair was up in the traditional top-knot, but there was still one thing missing. She picked up the small ornament, the one and only thing that truly proved that she was the rightful heir to the throne. How could something so small mean so much? Ursa truly did not know the answer to that mystery.
Ursa placed it in her hair; it fit perfectly within the knot as she slid the pin in that held it in her hair. Now that she was ready, Ursa walked out the room and went down the long hallway.
If you looked at her now, you would have never guessed that she had been half dragged, half flown to the royal gallery. She still had the memory of her mother's face when she saw her daughter being "flown" into the gallery by a little Airbender girl. That look would most definitely stay in Ursa's mind for as long as she lived. She smiled now thinking of it.
Following behind her were two guards, and behind them were two servants ready to be dispatched at a moment's notice. In truth, she hated being followed constantly. She felt as if she was a little weakling, which she wasn't. She could take care of herself. She could Firebend and she wasn't afraid of shedding a little blood here and there. She was confident that she could take care of her self.
As she neared the doors that would announce her presence, she took a deep breath and let it out. Her stomach turned as she reached the doors. This was the part she hated the most: the wait. The wait for the man to announce that she was about to enter. The wait for people's eyes to stop staring at her. The wait, the wait.
This story is for my wonderful English teacher who has been giving me the strength to not stop this story. You have encouraged me in a way that I can only say in words that I would never be able to describe. Thank you for being my #1 fan. I love you, Ms. D. Also, I would have never been able to write this without my wonderful editors. You guys rock my world!!
P.S.: My teachers name isn't Ms. D. I'm just making sure that none of you guys know her real name.

It can turn what should be a joyous and treasured period of life into a very uncomfortable, tiring, unbearable grind.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Chiropractic can be an option to manage pregnancy related back and pelvic pain.

U.S. Gulf Coast oil premiums strengthened as the differential between West Texas Intermediate and Brent increased.
The difference between the benchmarks widened 92 cents to $18.53 a barrel. When Brent rises at a faster pace than WTI, as it did today, that typically strengthens the value of U.S. grades competing with foreign oils priced against the European benchmark.
Heavy Louisiana Sweet’s premium added 80 cents to $18.80 a barrel at 1:48 p.m. in New York, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Light Louisiana Sweet’s increased 5 cents to $19.80.
Poseidon’s premium widened $1.10 to $10.70. Mars Blend added $1.20 to $11.70 a barrel over WTI and Southern Green Canyon increased 90 cents to a premium of $10.50.
The premium for Thunder Horse, a sour crude with lower sulfur content than Mars, Poseidon and Southern Green Canyon, widened $1 to $19.75 above WTI.
The premium for Syncrude added 50 cents to $7.50 a barrel above WTI. The discount for Western Canada Select narrowed 75 cents to $13 a barrel below the U.S. benchmark.
Bakken’s premium to WTI widened 75 cents to $5.75 a barrel.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common clinical bacterial issue in women, accounting for 25% of all infections. Over 50% of women will develop UTI symptoms in their lifetime. UTIs occur when bacteria enter the urethra, which is shorter than the male urethra, making it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder. The female urethra’s shorter distance also makes it more susceptible to infection.
Tiny organisms like fungi, viruses, and bacteria cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). Most UTI cases are caused by E. coli, which lives in the urethra, bladder, and kidneys.
Symptoms include pain, burning sensations, frequent urges, muscle aches, abdominal pain, fatigue, and cloudy urine.
Risk factors include sexual intercourse, spermicide use, diaphragm use, catheter use, pregnant women, and postmenopausal women.
Antibiotics are the most common treatment, making bacteria-resistant and recurring infections a major concern.
There are several natural ways to manage infections and reduce the risk of recurrence.
1. Drink plenty of fluids
Dehydration increases the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Regular urination helps prevent infections by flushing bacteria from the tract.
A 2019 study found that increasing fluid intake can decrease UTIs requiring antibiotics by 58%. Drink water throughout the day and always when thirsty to stay hydrated and meet fluid needs. Drinking more fluids helps remove bacteria from the urinary tract, making it a healthier option for those prone to UTIs.(1)
2. Take probiotics
Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms found in food or supplements that promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria.
They can be found in fermented foods like kefir, kimchi, kombucha, and probiotic yogurt. Consuming probiotics has been linked to improved digestive health and immune function. Studies have shown that certain probiotics may reduce the risk of UTIs using oral and vaginal administration and different strains.
Probiotics can help restore gut bacteria after antibiotic treatment, increasing good gut bacteria levels and reducing side effects. However, probiotics may not be suitable for everyone, so it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional about the appropriateness of probiotics and strains. (2)
3. Increase your vitamin C consumption
Vitamin C increases urine acidity, inhibits E. coli development, and improves immunological function. Researchers discovered that taking vitamin C for three months helped prevent urine infections, increasing the health of pregnant women.
Increasing consumption by eating vitamin C-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables is recommended. One serving of red peppers, oranges, grapefruit, and kiwifruit contains the recommended daily vitamin C dose. Supplements may be unnecessary if you get enough vitamin C from your food. (3)
Some studies suggest that cranberry juice may reduce the number of UTIs a person acquires over a year, particularly in women with recurrent UTIs. Although there is minimal or conflicting information about the potential of cranberries to address UTI symptoms, there is evidence that cranberries can be utilized as a prophylactic strategy. Animal studies demonstrate that cranberry products prevent the growth and colonization of infection-causing bacteria, such as E. coli, the most frequent bacteria found in urinary tract infections. (4)
5. Maintain good hygiene practices.
UTI prevention entails practicing healthy toilet and hygiene routines.
Avoid retaining your pee for too long since this might cause bacterial accumulation. Peeing after intercourse reduces the incidence of UTIs. When using the toilet, especially for females, wipe front to back to prevent bacteria from spreading to the urinary tract. Regularizing and wiping with care can also help to lower the incidence of UTIs.
Allicin, one of the active ingredients in freshly crushed raw garlic, has several antibacterial properties. Allicin has been shown to have antibacterial activity against various bacteria, including multidrug-resistant forms of E. coli. Garlic also has antifungal properties, particularly against the yeast Candida albicans. (6)
7. Add D-mannose to your diet
D-mannose, a sugar found in cranberries and other fruit, has been found to prevent harmful bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract’s wall. According to research, it helps treat UTIs and reduce recurrence.
Increase your diet of blueberries, cranberries, apples, peaches, oranges, broccoli, and green beans to boost D-mannose effectiveness, or consider taking a D-mannose supplement. (7)
8. Urinate Frequently
Urinating frequently and as needed prevents bacteria from developing in urine that remains in the bladder. Urinate immediately after sexual contact to wash out bacteria that may have entered the urethra. According to research, retaining urine for an extended time increases bacteria within the urinary tract, resulting in a urinary tract infection. (8)
9. Maintain a Clean and Dry Environment
Women should wipe from front to back, especially after using the restroom. This prevents the entry of bacteria into the urethra.
Wear loose-fitting clothing and underwear to allow air circulation and maintain a sterile urethra. Moisture can be trapped when wearing tight jeans or materials like nylon, allowing bacteria to flourish.
10. Do Not Use Spermicides
Spermicides can irritate the skin and cause bacteria to develop. Unlubricated condoms can also irritate, so choose lubricated condoms free of spermicides. According to a 1996 prospective study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the prevalence of UTI is high among sexually active young women, and the risk is strongly and independently related to recent sexual intercourse and recent use of a diaphragm containing spermicide. (10)
11. Myrrh Oil
Human and animal research shows that myrrh oil possesses antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic effects. It has traditionally been used to treat wounds and prevent infections. It can be massaged into the skin or administered topically with a warm or cool compress. When using myrrh internally, use caution; choose a pure, high-quality product and do it under the supervision of your healthcare provider.
12. Oil of Oregano
According to a 2012 study, oregano oil has antibacterial action against all clinical strains tested and inhibits the growth of E. coli, the most frequent bacteria in urinary tract infections (UTIs). Because of its non-antibiotic resistance and lack of adverse side effects, the benefits of oregano oil may outweigh those of prescription antibiotics. To use oregano oil, mix it with water or coconut oil. Take oregano oil for no more than two weeks at a time, and only under the supervision of your health care professional.
13. Clove oil.
In the study published in the journal Phytotherapy, clove oil has been found to possess antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. One additional advantage of clove oil is its anti-inflammatory characteristics, which render it effective in pain relief and facilitation of the healing process. The internal consumption of clove for two weeks is a viable option; nonetheless, seeking guidance from a healthcare professional or nutritionist is advisable. (13)
UTIs are caused by small organisms like fungi, viruses, and bacteria, causing pain, muscle aches, cloudy urine, and abdominal pain. Risk groups include sexually active women, pregnant or postmenopausal women, catheter users, and those with suppressed immune systems. Home remedies include cranberries, raw garlic, probiotics, vitamin C, D-mannose, oregano, clove, and myrrh essential oils. To prevent UTIs, you should maintain toilet habits like thorough cleaning and wearing loose-fitting clothing.

We’ve written about what evaluations looked like last year in three districts that were part of a state pilot program. But now that school’s back in session, every corporation in the state will be measuring teacher effectiveness. Here are five things you need to know about the new law.
- Not every corporation will evaluate teachers the same way. Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett told StateImpact Indiana’s law is unique because it doesn’t specify what system schools must adopt. The Indiana Department of Education has developed a rubric districts can use, called RISE, but schools are free to pick another model. All schools have to submit their plan for evaluating teachers to the state, but Assistant Superintendent Dale Chu says the IDOE won’t be reviewing the plans, just collecting them. Before, representatives of the Indiana State Teachers Association had expressed concern schools that didn’t adopt the state’s RISE model would be under greater scrutiny than schools that did.
- A key feature of the new law requires districts to link teacher performance to pay. Merit pay is probably the most controversial provision of the legislation, at least for teachers. A part of their effectiveness score has to come from student performance data, like scores on the ISTEP+ assessment. Some districts signed multiple-year contracts just before the new law took effect on July 1, 2011. That means they won’t have to implement the merit pay provision of the law until the contract expires.
- The new law represents a significant time commitment on the part of principals and other administrators conducting the evaluations. The Lafayette Journal and Courier‘s Mikel Livingston reports the Lafayette School Corporation has hired four new assistant principals at a cost of nearly $400,000 in salary and benefits to implement the state’s RISE evaluation system. The district estimates administrators will need to spend 17 hours per teacher to meet the new requirements. Superintendents involved with a pilot program during the 2011-12 school year told StateImpact districts just beginning the process of teacher evaluations need to spend a significant amount of time providing training to administrators and communicating expectations to teachers.
- Schools haven’t had a lot of time to prepare for the new changes. Bloomfield Superintendent Dan Sichting says teachers and administrators in his district had to scramble to implement the state’s RISE model during the pilot year. He told StateImpact teachers only had about a month to prepare student learning objectives — goals they must set as part of their evaluation — which wasn’t ideal. ISTA’s Teresa Meredith says teachers who had questions about the new law that weren’t answered on the state’s website have had trouble getting answers from the IDOE. To get an idea of how quickly districts have had to move, check out the timeline the Lafayette Journal and Courier posted this weekend.
- Indiana is part of a broader national trend to create better teacher evaluation systems. Here’s what a lot of teacher evaluations looked like before: A principal would come into a classroom and observe the teacher for 10-15 minutes. The administrator would rate the educator as satisfactory or unsatisfactory, then wouldn’t come back for a year or two. National Council on Teacher Quality Vice President Sandi Jacobs told StateImpact schools across the country need to make evaluations more beneficial to teachers. Jacobs says in a good system, administrators and educators work together to improve classroom teaching. Sixteen states and the District of Columbia now have teacher evaluation laws on the books.
Got a question about Indiana’s teacher effectiveness law? Let us know below, and we’ll try to find an answer.

It looks like ANOTHER example in a long, long history of WHITE THEFT of black intellectual property, which includes inventions, music, dance, and, yes, novels that are turned into screenplays and mega-franchises.
I heard about this story several years ago and fully expected it to be swept under the rug–FOREVER. I’m pleased to see Ms. Sophia Stewart is STILL bravely fighting such a powerful industry (and enemy) and that she is still alive AND breathing.
(CORRECTION: I sent out an email earlier today that reported Ms Stewart won a 2.5 billion-dollar settlement but that was false. The court battle is still ongoing).
A recap of her journey (excerpted from poptopictvonline)
“Stewart filed her case in 1999, after viewing the Matrix, which she felt had been based on her manuscript, ‘The Third Eye,’ copyrighted in 1981. In the mid-eighties Stewart had submitted her manuscript to an ad placed by the Wachowski Brothers, requesting new sci-fi works.
According to court documentation, an FBI investigation discovered that more than thirty minutes had been edited from the original film, in an attempt to avoid penalties for copyright infringement. The investigation also stated that ‘credible witnesses employed at Warner Brothers came forward, claiming that the executives and lawyers had full knowledge that the work in question did not belong to the Wachowski Brothers.’
These witnesses claimed to have seen Stewart’s original work and that it had been ‘often used during preparation of the motion pictures.’ The defendants tried, on several occasions, to have Stewart’s case dismissed, without success.
Stewart has confronted skepticism on all sides, much of which comes from Matrix fans, who are strangely loyal to the Wachowski Brothers (and their counterfeit — my words) Matrix & Terminator franchises.”
To echo her 2004 press release:
“The Matrix & Terminator movie franchises have made world history and have ultimately changed the way people view movies and how Hollywood does business, yet the real truth about the creator and creation of these films continue to elude the masses because the hidden secret of the matter is that these films were created and written by a Black woman… a Black woman named Sophia Stewart. But Hollywood does not want you to know this fact simply because it would change history.”
(Since the story was reported, it was stated that the information that she had already won was false. But the fact does remain it is an on-going case and she did win the right to proceed with her suit).
Which reminds me of two recent news stories:

Robin Thicke’s label settles with Marvin Gaye’s family in ‘Blurred Lines’ lawsuit (January 15, 2014)
Marvin Gaye’s children, Nona Marvisa Gaye and Frankie Christian Gaye, have settled claims against a music company owned by Sony over Robin Thicke’s Grammy-nominated hit song “Blurred Lines.”
The Gayes had accused EMI of not pursuing a copyright infringement case against Thicke because “Blurred Lines” has similarities to Gaye’s “Got to Give It Up.”
A Los Angeles judge on Tuesday granted Nona Marvisa Gaye and Frankie Christian Gaye’s dismissal of their lawsuit against EMI, which is owned by Sony/ATV Music Publishing.
Documents say the Gayes and Sony have an agreement and claims against Sony can’t be brought again. A representative for the Gaye family said the terms of the settlement were confidential. Dueling lawsuits between the Gaye family and Thicke remain active.
A Little Background Info About Robin Thicke (the “Grammy” Award-winning songwriter who ripped off Marvin Gaye, a black male).
Thicke recorded his first demo as a teenager. According to Thicke, his father, wanting him to focus on his studies and graduate high school before pursuing music, would not pay for Thicke to record a four-song demo tape. The $1,000 demo ultimately was paid for by an uncle of one of the group members, Al Jarreau (a black male).
Thicke’s demo made its way to Brian McKnight (another black male), who was impressed enough with the 14-year old Thicke to bring him into the studio and work with him. “Anyway”, a song co-written with Thicke, was featured on McKnight’s second album I Remember You.
Thicke’s peers jokingly nicknamed him “Brian McWhite.” It was Thicke’s association with McKnight, who Thicke counts as one of his first mentors, that helped him to land his first recording contract with Interscope Records at the age of 16.
Robin Thicke is the first Caucasian male artist to top that chart on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
Let’s be CRYSTAL CLEAR. There is NO WAY in H, Robin Thicke OR Justin Timberlake (or the Osmond Brothers, or Elvis, for that matter). would have OR could have created, penned, or sung ONE LYRIC of ‘black-sounding’ music without the BLACK ORIGINATORS of black, soul, R&B, rock, or jazz.
At BEST, they are IMITATORS — and no amount of black or white fans, Grammys, or (manufactured) Billboard Music ratings changes ONE single fact — plus I strongly suspect the lack of new AND original black music talent getting exposure is due to the white-controlled music industry’s attempts to eventually REWRITE and control black music history.
Had TRUE black musical talents like Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Curtis Mayfield been born 30 years later, I doubt we’d be listening to them on today’s radio stations.
There is a REASON we only hear and see the same handful of black entertainers and their industry-manufactured, mechanical-sounding, computer-synthesized “black” music on the radio, TV and in the AWARDS ceremonies.
THEY ARE LITERALLY REMOVING THE ” SOUL” FROM BLACK MUSIC AND MAKING IT WHITER
AND MORE SEXUALLY AND MORALLY DEVIANT
When black people praise and support these white imitators (get terminal amnesia) we are COMPLICIT in our own cultural white-washing and in its ultimate destruction.
The DOUBLE irony is Robin Thicke and Justin Timberlake are MAKING MORE MONEY off black music than ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE WHO TAUGHT THEM how to sing, dance, and “move” like black folks — COMBINED.
By buying this (stolen) music and buying tickets to the recent rash of films about “black His-Story” produced by White Hollywood — while BLACK filmmakers like Spike Lee are denied funds to make a movie about Malcolm X
we are COMPLICIT in HELPING TO SET THE STAGE for something much more dangerous.
To paraphrase something a friend recently said (to me):
When an enemy is in a more powerful position, they take control of their targets’ HISTORY and IMAGES, and RE-WRITE and FALSIFY them (like all the “Black His-Story” films that black people are blindly flocking to)
and once they get their TARGETS to submit to those fraudulent images AND false history as TRUTH–
The next move is:

As I once learned from Baseball America, If you're not satisfied with the way the independent leagues are set up right now, just wait two minutes and you'll find that something has changed.
While meant as an obvious joke referencing the ever-shifting structure of independent baseball, it seems that the idea has now spread to the NCAA FBS football ranks.
Ever since Nebraska uprooted itself from the Big 12 to go to the Big Ten, it's set off a domino effect that has left many fans confused as to who and where their school will play next year.
While some would argue that a little change wouldn't be too bad for the nation's most popular collegiate sport, others would agree with me that everything is happening too fast—and that FBS football is developing a mind of its own.
This domino effect of schools changing their conferences is something I like to call the Great Realignment, although there is nothing great about it.
With the Great Realignment, schools are leaving their longtime home conferences for bigger and better ones, mergers are prevalent, and the likelihood of a split from the NCAA is imminent.
Without further adieu, here are the reasons why the Great Realignment is toxic for the NCAA:

Yes it is True; Researchers have demonstrated a penny-sized “nuclear battery” that produces energy from the decay of radioisotopes. Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient. The University of Missouri team says that the batteries hold a million times as much charge as standard batteries. Interestingly, Nuclear batteries have been in use for military and aerospace applications, but are typically far larger.
They have developed it in an attempt to scale down power sources for the tiny devices that fall under the category of micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (Mems and Nems).
“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density,” said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope battery can provide power density that is six orders of magnitude higher than chemical batteries.”
Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, currently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can pose concerns, Kwon said they are safe.
His innovation is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor. Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.
“The critical part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said. “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”
And although the whole idea hinges on the use of radioactive materials, the devices are safe under normal operating conditions. “People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” Dr Jae said. “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pacemakers, space satellites and underwater systems.”
It would be exciting to carry a Nuclear powered device in your pocket and that day may come very soon; thanks to the work of Dr Jae and his assosiates.

Tuesday night, cops were called to investigate what seemed like a pothole in South Florida. Following the next morning, the FBI had begun to examine what seems to have been an attempted bank burglary in South Florida.
The pothole, in fact, turned out to be a 150 ft long tunnel leading beneath a two-lane road to a nearby Chase bank branch. According to police reports, this was “not an overnight job”, and could have been dug up with pickaxes and a little wagon.
Authorities have yet to identify the person(s) involved in the attempted robbery and are even offering up to $3,000 on any leads that result in arrest.
Do you think the diggers could have gotten away with it?


A City Council committee on elections agreed Tuesday might be better than Saturday for hosting runoff elections in city races, but recommended the mayor not make any changes this year.
A spokesman for the mayor confirmed no changes would be made this year, but the discussion would continue.
City Attorney David Feldman began researching the costs of Tuesday versus Saturday elections about six months ago, finding the city spent “several hundreds of thousands” more for the weekend date.
“Under the election code, a public entity cannot charge for the use of its facilities for elections purposes unless it’s on a day when they’re not ordinarily open for business,” Feldman said. “Schools are not open on Saturdays and so they charge us.”
Prior to 1989, Houston runoff elections were held on Tuesdays, and a survey of 425 registered voters likely to vote this November suggests area voters would support a switch back to the weekday.
The survey found 56 percent favored a Tuesday runoff election and support increased to 71 percent when told it could save the city money.
At-large 4 Councilmember C.O. Bradford said the proposal seemed worth investigating further.
“Moving from a Saturday to a Tuesday runoff would save money and accommodate a large majority of voters’ choice,” he said.
Rice University professor Bob Stein, who conducted the survey, said making a switch this election would cut two days from early voting because of the way the calendar falls.
“There is no question if you lose a day of early voting you will have an impact on turnout,” he said, noting that the two days lost would be a weekend before election day — when turnout tends to peak.
Council Members Melissa Noriega of At Large 3 and Mike Laster of District J both requested more data on the possible switch, as well as more information on other changes that could increase voter turnout.
The city attorney said he has hired Stein to conduct exit polls during this year’s city election cycle to do just that.
“It could be in 2015 we would move the runoff from Saturday to Tuesday,” he said.

DES MOINES, Iowa – You may remember this name: Julia Rudd.
She was the 2004 Division III National Champion in the Steeplechase for UW-La Crosse. She’s an 11 time All-American and is the UW-L record holder in the 3,000- and 5,000-meter steeplechase races.
Oh, she was also a 2006 Woman of the Year candidate as a senior for the Eagles and was named to the all-time WIAC cross country team.
Well, she’s still running. She took part in the 3,000 steeple at the USA Track and Field National Championships on Thursday at Drake University and has qualified for finals. She will run the finals at 4:20 p.m. Saturday.
The USATF National Championships serve as the selection event for the coveted spots to represent Team USA at the IAAF World Championships August 10-18 in Moscow, Russia.
Rudd, now running as Julia Webb (pictured with husband Alan and daughter Joanie) since her marriage a few years ago, grabbed the final spot in Saturday’s finals, finishing in 10 minutes, 11.42 seconds in the second heat – which was the slow heat.
Qualifying for Team USA will be a challenge. The top eight runners finished under 10 minutes led by Nicole Bush’s 9:54.41. But Webb does have that in her. Her PR is 9:55.36. She’s realistic though.
When asked what she’d need to qualify for Team USA – as in officially – she replied in much more realistic terms: “Another body and genetics,” she said. “My goal is Top 8.”
We should also consider this: A year ago (and one day, to be exact), Webb was 30 pounds heavier.
No, she wasn’t pigging out before that and let herself go, but she did go through a miracle weight-loss program … called birth.
Running with a stroller is apparently a great training technique.


New gypsy brewer, Sydney Beer Co., has taken the somewhat brave step of launching a lager as its first beer.
Tricky and time-consuming to craft, this lager has been designed to suit ‘Sydney’s lifestyle’ according to co-founder, former Sydney bartender and consultant Matt Siely, and business partner David Maronese.
“We wanted to give people the opportunity to drink a sessionable Sydney beer that matches Sydney’s lifestyle. Most importantly, our goal was to create a premium beer Sydneysiders can be proud of: a great tasting, easy-drinking, refreshing lager that’s fit for Sydney,” explained Siely.
Maronese points out that, “Sydney Beer Co. is following a growing overseas trend of brewers from New York and London that are leveraging an association with their neighbourhood. After living abroad for a decade, and seeing what was happening in these cities, it was puzzling to think that Sydney didn’t have a beer to call its own. That void really pushed us to craft this brand.”
With a distinctive blue and white label, the lager is described as ‘crisp and refreshing’ and has been brewed with all-Australian ingredients.
A blend of two malts and roasted barley create a “light hopped finish with a subtle hop aroma of melon and peach.”
Sydney Beer Co. Lager is the only style being crafted at this stage and has a 4.5% ABV, 15 IBUs and is currently available in a 330ml bottle.
“Expansion will be into kegs and cans hopefully early 2017,” Siely told Beer & Brewer.
“Currently stocked at Bulletin Place, Bennelong Restaurant, This Must Be The Place, Uncle Ming’s, The Barber Shop, Fonzarelli’s and Bar Zini.”

On a very general level, blue lights are for vegetative growth, red pushes most plants into reproductive growth when combined with shortening the daylight hours and having strict no interruption of light during the dark phase. This is where green lights come in handy. Similar to the red light in a dark room, the green light is ignored by plants. Suddenly opening a door to have light spill into a dark phase for plants you want to produce flowers and fruit sooner not later will set those plants back for weeks.
This detail about plants and how to understand them better to be able to produce more...flowers is happening because of the laws being changed about marijuana. People are learning more than ever how to grow plants by learning to grow successfully just one plant.
Lots of money involved with this one plant today and the motivation to succeed is very high. No new trend or any special trick has been found to grow plants better than the basic rules to grow all plants.
Mixing the reds and blues of lights is simply reproducing the light spectrum as we know it that plants use the best and most of...More blue is akin to early spring and summer light. More red is akin to late summer and fall lighting. The lighting plants evolved with. We animals evolved with. The lighting that combined with other environmental sensors will tell plants it is time to start making babies via lots of flowers and lots of seed and then either dying (annuals) or go dormant (perennials) and hope the few babies produced that season possibly survived.
If we want our artificial gardens to be more successful, learning about the daylight/diurnal lengths in relation to the darkness is one of those things that makes a huge difference. For those who are growing under artificial light anyway. Plants out of door are regulated by the sun, the local weather, stability of warm seasons and stability of cold seasons.
