Whistle-blowing Scientists (Trying To Prevent Dangerous Products From Reaching The Market) Sue FDA For Snooping On Their Personal Email Accounts
from the shameful-suppression dept
Last year, we wrote about the federal whistle-blowing act, which was designed to give protections to federal employees who blow the whistle on federal fraud and abuse. For reasons that still aren’t clear, that bill was killed by a secret hold by either Senators Jon Kyl or Jeff Sessions. That fact only came out due to an amazing effort by the folks at On The Media, who kept hounding all 100 Senators to find out who would possibly kill such a bill. Recently, On The Media revisited the topic, noting that there was a new version of the bill. The report also talks about just how vindictive the government has been against whistleblowers. Even as President Obama has insisted that whistleblowers are important and should be protected, that’s not what’s happening in real life, with many getting stripped of their responsibility and demoted — all for daring to point out waste, fraud and abuse. The worst example to date, remains the horrifying story of Thomas Drake, who was threatened with 35 years in jail in a bogus vindictive lawsuit against him, due to his blowing the whistle on a bogus NSA project.
More evidence of the insane lengths the federal government will go to against whistleblowers has been revealed in the form of a lawsuit from a group of FDA scientists and doctors. The group had been trying to blow the whistle on fraud and abuse in the FDA, in the form of approvals for medical devices that didn’t actually meet health and safety standards. The scientists reached out to Congress to blow the whistle… and in response, the FDA started spying on their personal emails. Yes, it does appear that these scientists were accessing their personal Gmail accounts from work computers, and using them to work with Congressional staffers to craft their whistleblowing complaint, but does that give the FDA the right to spy on their personal communications? The doctors, via their lawsuit, believe the answer is no.
The FDA is defending its actions by claiming that this whistleblowing involved “improperly disclosed confidential business information about the devices,” and it wanted an investigation of the doctors involved. That sounds ridiculous. Or, perhaps, all too typical. It seems clear that the FDA bosses just didn’t like the fact that some folks there blew the whistle on what they were doing and took vindictive actions. This is exactly the kind of thing that a Whistle Blower Act should protect. That it doesn’t do so already is really a shame.

In our first year of uni, we built a real-time music note reader using an FPGA and a camera. It can read custom sheet music and play it in real-time. The pitch is also adjustable using a blue marker placed anywhere in front of the camera.
Switching out the sheet music while it was playing a piece, and hearing the notes change to the new song was magical.
The three main parts of the project were
- offline automatic music sheet conversion
- real time note reading
- real time music playing while showing the current note being played
*** Music Sheet Conversion
The custom music sheet is a grid which represents different notes that are to be played.
The notes are encoded in binary in each column using 5 bits which allows for 32 different pitches. The grid supports 32 different notes that are played sequentially.
The grid is automatically converted by a program we wrote using OpenCV called NoteReader. The main method used to detect the stave and the individual notes for simple sheet music was to generate a histogram of intensities vertically and horizontally. Below is an example of this process using twinkle twinkle little star as an example.
The maximum was then used to as a threshold value to determine the individual notes and where the stave lines and notes were located.
The grid can then be generated by encoding the pitch of the note as a 5 bit binary number and drawing the grid.
One problem that was encountered during the generation was that the detection algorithm only worked on one line at a time, and threw away the rest of the sheet music. In addition to that, it was hard to test the grid generation and the note detection at the same time. We solved this by first generating a file with all the notes present, then uses that file to generate the grid. This allowed the grid generation and note detection to be completely separated and independent of each other, making them much easier to test as well.
*** Real-time Note Reading
The purpose of the custom grid is to allow the FPGA to read the notes and then play them in real time. The grid is designed so that the orientation can be picked up by the FPGA easily using two red markers in the top two corners. Now that the FPGA has the orientation and size of the grid, it can detect all the squares that define the notes. It goes through the grid columns sequentially and reads the notes as 5 bits.
*** Real-time Note Playing
Once a note is detected from the grid, the 5 bit number has to be converted to a frequency so that the note can be played. The frequencies are stored in a look-up table in the FPGA, which can be indexed using the 5 bit number.
A wave generator then outputs a square wave with the required frequency through one of the GPIO pins on the FPGA board. Using a low-pass filter and an amplifier, the square wave is transformed into a continuous sinusoidal wave. This wave is passed to a speaker so that the tone is heard.

In a strange twist this year, Wizard World Philly finds itself competing for attention and the industry's big names with Heroes Convention in Charlotte. But Wizard World Philly - today through Sunday at the Convention Center - can still boast hosting perhaps the biggest name in the industry. This is the year Brian Michael Bendis hits town. "This my first Philly convention ever, ever, ever," said Bendis, best known for helping launch Marvel's Ultimate line with "Ultimate Spider-Man" and a landmark run on "Daredevil.

Of all the titles in Marvel's Ultimate line, "Ultimate Spider-Man" truly lives up to its title. More so than the other "Ultimate" titles starring the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men, "Ultimate Spider-Man" stays true to the core concepts of the character. The only difference is that the world of Peter Parker is being poured today, in the 21st century, as opposed to the "classic" version, created in the early 1960s. This means that, unlike in other titles starring Spidey, we get a teen still dealing with the responsibilities and repercussions of his powers rather than a seasoned veteran married to Mary Jane.

Thanks to Marvel Comics, America's heroes got to read a special story starring their favorite heroes recently. In April, Marvel announced it had joined the "America Supports You" program, a Department of Defense campaign to showcase and communicate America's support of the men and women of the U.S. armed forces. As the centerpiece of the partnership, Marvel created a custom comic book featuring beloved and well-known superheroes in the storyline. More than 1 million copies of Marvel's "Salute Our Troops" comic book were distributed in May to the troops and their families in the United States and abroad.

Get ready for a Black Panther Party! Reggie Hudlin's first "Black Panther" story arc focuses on the history of the fictional country of Wakanda and on the main character, T'Challa, who lives there. For his second "Panther" story arc (starting with issue No. 7), Hudlin plans to put the spotlight on some of Marvel's other black heroes and heroines. "There's no question that Marvel has been the leader in terms of diversity in their comic book characters," said Hudlin. "One of the things I've always appreciated about Marvel is that . . . their black characters were always individuals . . . not cookie-cutters and simply representing all black folk.

Radical's latest offering is quite a wild "Ryde. " Indeed, "Ryder on the Storm" is the type of book that changes direction constantly and has more layers than an onion. Just when you feel you have the story and players figured out, everything gets turned upside down. Indeed, the first issue has a whopping 52 pages of story and writer David Hine expertly makes use of every one of them. The result is a horror story worthy of Steve Niles , a crime story worthy of Christos Gage and dialogue worthy of Brian Michael Bendis . There is also a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a riddle.

Seven years in the making, " Avengers " No. 1 is well worth the wait. No, it didn't take the creative team of Brian Michael Bendis , John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson seven years to produce the issue. They are all way faster than that. Most people in the industry are way faster than that - or else they'd starve. The only possible exception would be a book that announces Kevin Smith as its writer and Jim Lee as its artist. In that case, seven years between issues would not be far-fetched.

MICHAEL JACKSON bowed out of last year's Grammy Awards show when producers wanted him there to celebrate the 25th anniversary of "Thriller. " This year, he'll be there. Michael, in fact, will be a focal point of the show, with an unprecedented posthumous tribute. The Grammys will broadcast a 3-D video clip he made for "Earth Song," that was to be integral to his London comeback concerts - shows that never happened because of his June 25 death in Los Angeles. Usher, Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and Smokey Robinson will perform alongside the clip, which producer Ken Ehrlich says will be the first time an awards show will feature 3-D. "Whenever we would do a show with [Michael]

THIS IS a great time to be a Spider-Man fan. Besides the highly anticipated "Spider-Man 3" hitting theaters today, Marvel has come out with enough titles featuring Spider-Man to choke a comic shop and has enough trade paperbacks available to fill a library. Most importantly, the material is diverse enough to be enjoyed by both new and old fans of the webslinger and appeal to a variety of ages and tastes. For those who want a young, wise-cracking, high-school-aged Peter Parker who is arguably the most like his movie counterpart, there is "Ultimate Spider-Man.

With April's "Secret Invasion" crossover set to kick off, many Marvel fans are apprehensive. This is because talented writer Brian Michael Bendis is the driving force behind the even "Invasion" and his efforts on previous big events like "Secret War" and "House of M" were mixed, at best. Bendis doesn't have a reputation as a blockbusters guy, but "New Avengers" No. 38 shows he may be the perfect scribe for this one. For the uninitiated, it was discovered recently that the shape-shifting aliens known as Skrulls have invaded the Earth.

Baseball's World Series has become a road show, with the visitors triumphing yet again as the Houston Astros smashed the Washington Nationals 8-1 to draw level at 2-2.
Robinson Chirinos hit a home run for the second consecutive game, and Alex Bregman hit a grand slam and drove in five runs as the Astros picked up their second straight victory on Saturday after losing the first two.
After four World Series games, no team has won at home. The last time the road team won the first four games of a World Series was in 1996, when the Atlanta Braves faced the New York Yankees, who won the final two games of the series.
Game 5 is set for Sunday in Washington. The Astros' victory on Saturday ensures the series will head back to Houston for a Game 6 on Tuesday. Game 7, if necessary, would be in Houston on Wedbesday.
The Astros planned on stringing together appearances from their relievers in Game 4, using the 24-year-old rookie pitcher Jose Urquidy to kick things off.
Instead, the right-hander gave his team some length, allowing just two hits and no walks while striking out four as he dominated over five scoreless innings.. Five more relievers finished off the final four innings.
Urquidy (1-0), the third Mexican-born pitcher ever to start a World Series game, had just nine career appearances and two victories before the playoffs started. His five innings on Saturday were more than the 4 1/3 innings he pitched in his two previous playoff appearances combined.
Bregman drove in his first run of the game in the first inning on a single to centre field, Houston's third straight single. Yuli Gurriel made it four in a row with an infield single for a 2-0 lead. Chirinos hit a two-run home run to left off Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin for a 4-0 lead in the fourth.
Corbin (1-3 this postseason) gave up four runs on seven hits over six innings, with two walks and five strikeouts. Nationals starters have gone at least five innings in each of the team's 14 postseason games.
Juan Soto put the Nationals on the scoreboard in the sixth inning with a run-scoring groundout before Bregman crushed his grand slam to left field in the seventh off right-hander Fernando Rodney.

An alert has been issued about the potential spread of measles from an infected passenger who travelled to Vancouver from India on two flights.
The B.C. Centre for Disease Control says the person was on a China Southern flight that left New Delhi on the morning of June 23 and arrived in Guangzhou, China, before transferring to another flight with the same airline and arriving at Vancouver’s airport that night.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
A news release from the centre says travellers on one or both of the flights as well as others who were at Vancouver International Airport on June 23 may have been exposed to the highly infectious disease that spreads through the air.
It says some potentially exposed passengers or flight crew may have been travelling to other destinations, including within Canada.
The centre says while most people would be immune to measles, infants less than a year old and those who have never been immunized against the disease are susceptible, and could end up with symptoms including a fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and a rash that starts on the face.
Measles incubates for seven to 21 days before symptoms develop; the centre says anyone who may have been infected would become ill by about July 15 and should call their doctor or a local health unit.

About 14 years ago I remember having what was a very itchy scab on my mid back, it was strange because I can't say it was a mole or that I hurt my back and it just kind of appeared all at once and was itchy and bled a bit. Well one day I scratched it a little too hard and the entire thing came off in my hand. It was strange and it left nothing behind but a tiny little hole in my back that still was there all these years later. I have always wondered if that was some type of skin cancer but took solace in the fact it had been so many years without any incident. A few days ago I felt something itchy on my bra strap line, I thought it was a bug bite but then it started to get painful, thought it was a cyst but it has not gotten any better and is a lump under the skin and now the skin is getting red in that area. The thing is I had my husband look and he said it is right under that little hole and there appears to be something red in the hole. I am so scared thinking that I have a Melanoma and thinking that is I had it all these years it may be all over. So scared.View Thread

Clambakes were very popular during the early years of the twentieth century. Family and community bakes attracted large gatherings.
For example, a huge clambake sponsored by the Jonesville Methodist Church in Saratoga County, NY, was a Labor Day tradition in that historic hamlet for over 65 years. Church members and others from the community pitched in to serve as many as 600 people. The Jonesville bakes were famous and anticipated every year.
The first clambake there occurred in 1896. The church was in need of funds, and it was decided that a clambake would be a good fund raiser.
The following year, “Stone Bakes” were started, and they were henceforth held in the church yard. A hole was dug for the bake. It was at first square, 8 by 8 feet, but to facilitate caring for the fire and handling the food, it was later dug 6 by 13 feet. The pit was lined with two to three loads of hard new stones, creating an oven for the bakes. After the stones have been used they lose their ability to hold the heat, so each year the stones had to be taken away after the bake and the new ones found for the next year.
Preparations for the clambake began in June, and in July officers were elected to be in charge of the event. By the middle of August two cords of hardwood had been purchased and drawn to the Church lawn where the hole was dug for the bake. On Saturday before Labor Day the tables were erected, tents put up, chicken cut, wrapped in cheesecloth and pre-cooked, cooled and put in refrigerators. Canners, wash boilers and large kettles to hold the coffee were collected from the neighborhood.
Monday morning at 5 A.M., the bakers started the fire in the pit. The Jonesville fire truck was parked close by. The fire leapt high and made the stones hot. By 9 A.M. the tables were set and ready for the foods to be placed. The clams were all inspected and washed and the corn was husked. The wire baskets which were cleaned the week before were now filled. First the baskets of clams, next white and sweet potatoes, then the sausage, next the chicken wrapped in cheese-cloth, then the lobster, and last the corn.
The baskets were then placed in the pit, covered with white muslin over which was spread a clean canvas. Green corn stalks covered this. Then all was sealed in with 6 inches of sand, and the oven was closed for a 2 hour baking. At 2 P.M. everyone crowded around the pit for the opening, and the bakes were brought to the tables. These clambakes could raise as much as $1100 for the church.
Rain affected the clambakes on at least three occasions. One year the tables were moved into the Sunday school room and church carriage sheds. Another time, after the sheds were torn down, the Bake was served in the I.O.O.F. Hall and in the Fire Hall. In 1949, guests sat under the trees with the water running into their plates and down their necks!
For several years two bakes were served, one at 12 noon, and the other at 2 P.M. However, this meant that the dishes had to be washed and the tables reset. One year 600 were served. Over the years there were a few near disasters. Once the chicken soured, and once the clams had to be replaced because they were too long in transit. One year it rained Saturday and Sunday, and the wood was too wet to burn right, and nothing finished cooking. At one time the food was all bought individually and each person brought their donation to the church kitchen. One person recalled when bake tickets were only one dollar.
Because these clambakes were so labor intensive and time consuming, the last one at Jonesville was held about 1965. However, many fond memories exist among the older residents of Jonesville and other communities around New York State: those who served the tables, made the biscuits, cabbage,ice cream, dressed the chicken, or built the fire.

Hertsmere Consultation extended for two extra weeks
Originally published by Hertsmere Liberal Democrats
This morning the Lib Dem team met with Hertsmere council officers to discuss concerns over the Local Plan consultation portal. They've told us they'll now extend the consultation for an extra 2 weeks.
- They have fixed the problems many people had registering to use the consultation portal.
- They promise to make it possible to comment on individual sites - which we feel is crucial.
- They will fix the link to the consultation portal on hertsmerelocalplan.com so that it is possible to go straight to the consultation.
- They will tackle the broken search function, which currently brings up the 2018 consultation and not the 2021 consultation
- Instead of using the portal, you can email comments to email@example.com or write to Local Plan Consultation, Hertsmere Borough Council, Borehamwood WD6 9SR
We are grateful to the officers for taking the issue seriously - but we still hope they will improve the portal much further, by making the language more user friendly, and adding maps of whole towns, and smaller sites, so residents can fully appreciate what's proposed.
We will continue to monitor the situation, and if the portal does not improve as hoped, we will press for a further extension.

A public school district in Louisville, Kentucky is forcing all teachers to undergo training sessions that feature far-left curriculum, including Critical Race Theory and pro-LGBTQ+ attitudes, in preparation for the new school year.
As reported by Fox News, Jefferson County Public Schools hosted a “Racial Equity Training” session earlier this summer, which featured such concepts as anti-racist math, implicit bias training, and “Whiteness theory,” among others. The session included forced reading for the teachers such as the books “How to be an Antiracist” and “White Fragility,” both written by black nationalist Ibram Kendi. Read More
On Wednesday, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) will be hosting one of the most far-left activists in America at their biennial conference, for the purpose of promoting Critical Race Theory, Breitbart reports.
Ibram Kendi, the author of numerous books that fuel racial division such as “How to be an Antiracist” and “Antiracist Baby,” will be a featured speaker at AFT’s Together Educating America’s Children (TEACH) conference. Other speakers who will appear during the five-day conference include Jill Biden, failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, and the Deputy Secretary of the Education Department Cindy Marten.

Depths of Possibility Blog
The idea of therapy isn't to give people answers, or lead their longing into a safe, dull, protected harbor, but to make people aware of the depths of possibility in their hearts and lives; to help them remove the barriers that keep them from being the people they were meant to be.
— John O'Donohue
Welcome to my blog for therapy professionals—a blog that blends cutting-edge clinical and scientific theories, wisdom traditions, literature, life experience, and more into useful, applied nuggets for therapists who want to help their clients become the people they were meant to be.
A new client began to cry in the middle of our second session. She immediately turned away in shame, hiding her face behind an impenetrable wall of curly, dark hair. I gently asked her what had happened, there in that flash of a moment of turning away. “I hate to cry. It’s weak.” I only knew a little of her history, but enough to imagine my way into her experience. “If your dad was so cruel to you with his words, I can imagine that he might have humiliated you for crying.” A vigorous nod, while still looking away. “Yeah.

I’m sure it’s not news to you that studies of the therapeutic process always reveal that the relationship between client and therapist is what fosters healing and growth. More recent studies show that most of the healing that happens in this relationship occurs within the resonant connection between our inner worlds. According to Daniel Siegel and Allan Schore (and many, many others), the essence of connectedness that relieves pain and fosters growth, is our ability to tune in, attend, and respond to our client’s inner experience. Healing happens when we focus on the flow of what’s happening in the room […]Read More »

Preventing accidental poisoning at home
March 15, 2023
The National Safety Council (NSC) reports more than 90% of all poisonings happen at home. Cosmetics and personal care products lead the list of most common substances implicated in pediatric poison exposures.
According to the most recent data from the NSC, one poison exposure was reported to U.S. poison control centers every 15 seconds in 2020.
As part of National Poison Prevention Week, March 19-25, HSHS Good Shepherd Hospital reminds you about the dangers of potentially poisonous medicines and chemicals and shares tips on how to keep your loved ones safe.
“Our emergency department treats accidental poisonings from a variety of substances, including children ingesting cleaning products or adults taking an unadvised dosage of certain medications,” said Karla Dixon, director of nursing at HSHS Good Shepherd Hospital. “It is important to keep harmful products out of reach and read labels carefully before taking any medications.”
If you encounter someone who was potentially exposed to poisonous substances:
- Call 911 if they are unconscious or having difficulty breathing.
- Remain calm.
- Most poison emergencies can be resolved quickly over the phone.
- Contact the Poison Control helpline.
- Online help is available at poison.org or by phone at 1-800-222-1222. Both options are free, confidential and staffed by experts.
Preventive measures are always the best way to protect your family from accidental poisoning. Tips include:
- Place household cleaning products up and away, out of children’s reach and sight. Make sure to put cleaning supplies and chemicals away after every use.
- Keep all household cleaning products in their original containers. When buying products, look for child-resistant containers for an extra layer of protection.
- Check your home for products that might be harmful to kids like cleaning supplies, liquid laundry packets, plants, pesticides, alcohol and medicine. Keep personal care products such as lotion, makeup, cleanser and deodorant where kids can’t get into them.
- Be aware of any medications or makeup that may be in your purse, laptop bag or backpack. Store handbags out of the reach of young children.
- Never call medicine ‘candy’ to get a child to take it when needed.
For more information on how to protect yourself and your family, visit poison.org.
The HSHS Good Shepherd Hospital emergency department, 201 S. Pine St. in Shelbyville, is well-prepared to deliver high-quality emergency medical care 24/7, in the safest way possible.

Somewhat disturbingly, I have to largely agree with Ross Douthat on the likeliest explanation for why working class whites (and only working class whites) are seeing an increase in their mortality rate in this country. Although, unsurprisingly, I’d put the emphasis less on losing their religion and family structures and more on something else that Douthat identified.
Noting that religious practice has fallen faster recently among less-educated whites than among less-educated blacks and Hispanics, [Andrew Cherlin and Brad Wilcox’s] paper argues that white social institutions, blue-collar as well as white-collar, have long reflected a “bourgeois moral logic” that binds employment, churchgoing, the nuclear family and upward mobility.
But in an era of stagnating wages, family breakdown, and social dislocation, this logic no longer seems to make as much sense. The result is a mounting feeling of what the American Conservative’s Rod Dreher calls white “dispossession” — a sense of promises broken, a feeling that what you were supposed to have has been denied to you. (The Donald Trump phenomenon, Dreher notes, feeds off precisely this anxiety.)
For obvious historical reasons, though, Hispanic and (especially) black communities have cultivated a different set of expectations, a different model of community and family (more extended and matriarchal), a different view of success and the American story writ large.
These distinctives come with their own set of problems, particularly where family structure and fatherhood are concerned. But they may create a kind of resilience, a capacity for dealing with stagnation and disappointment (and elite indifference or hostility), which many working-class white Americans did not necessarily expect to ever need.
In this context, the word “resilience” is doing a lot of work. But it’s the right word.
I think the best analogy I’ve seen for this is that white Americans have been playing the game on the lowest difficulty setting. Like a video game that allows you to start off as a beginner and advance to expert, people who have never had to deal with the worst the economy can bring are not as well prepared to deal with ever-increasing levels of adversity.
What we’re seeing is a lot of folks who are just giving up and turning to alcoholism and opioids because they don’t have experience with playing the game on the expert level.
Now, maybe that’s insulting to white folks, and that’s not my intention. But the black community has already experienced high unemployment, drug epidemics, mass incarceration, and the sensation that the system is rigged and just biased against them. That’s the default setting of their lives, and always has been in this country.
So, yeah, partly, white folks have to up their game. But they also need to adjust their expectations. Douthat seems to get this:
Maybe sustained growth, full employment and a welfare state that’s friendlier to work and family can help revive that nexus. Or maybe working-class white America needs to adapt culturally, in various ways, to this era of relative stagnation, and learn from the resilience of communities that are used to struggling in the shadow of elite neglect.
Or maybe it will take a little bit of both, more money and new paths to resilience alike, to make some of the unhappiest white lives feel like they matter once again.
The first thing they need to figure out is that they aren’t going to get to play this game on the beginner setting anymore and that yelling at the better players is no substitute for watching and learning from what they do.
The second thing they need to figure out is that their lives still matter and that they can change things for the better by joining with the folks who’ve been getting screwed from the beginning.
Now, it’s been frustrating to watch white and black progressives argue about priorities in this election, and both sides need to learn. White progressives need to better understand that these class issues are so ingrained in our minority communities that they simply don’t seem all that pressing. It’s like complaining that there are too many alien invaders on Level 12 of your video game. It’s like complaining about potholes or bad schools or things that never change. Those things are always a concern, but they’re different in type from being denied the right to vote or getting gunned down by the police. Basic civil rights are what’s on the minds of minority voters, and white progressives need to respect that.
Black progressives, however, need to understand that something is changing. Where once they had few natural allies on class issues and structural biases in the system, they now have a cohort of working class whites who should be welcomed into the tent.
That’s not easy when a lot of those working class whites are still kicking and screaming and acting out their frustration with racist acts and statements. But, with your eyes open, you can see that whites are having their own crack epidemic with heroin and oxycontins. They’re beginning to support sentencing and prison reform. They’re as fed up with the post-Citizens United campaign finance system as anyone. They’re pissed off at Wall Street.
I don’t know if Hillary can bring these whites into the fold and I don’t know if Bernie can bring blacks into his fold, but between them they have the basic idea right.
Perhaps what’s needed here is for blacks and whites to give permission to their politicians to go after each other’s votes. And this is just a suggestion, but I’m guessing that the folks who’ve been playing the game of life on the harder difficulty setting will need to be the folks who offer the first olive branch.
It should surprise no one if the minority community figures this out first.

The FTSE fell by 2.3% yesterday on news of new turmoil in Greece and the Spanish prime minister dragging his heels on a full bailout. The Spanish government is due today to present a budget to shrink their deficit from 6.3% to 4.5% in 2013, but analysts believe their shrinking economy means this goal is already unachievable. In Greece, riots broke out once more following new spending cuts of £9.1bn , raising fears that the coalition government may crumble.
The Bank of England’s latest quarterly credit conditions survey suggested a significant increase in the availability of secured lending – including mortgages. Encouragingly, banks suggested the strongest improvement in availability was to buyers with a deposit of less than 25%. The Treasury argued that this was a sign that the Funding For Lending Scheme was working.
L’Oreal’s chief believes that if the French government proceeds with a 75% marginal income tax, French companies’ ability to hire top talent will be compromised.
In the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards, consumer groups yesterday told MPs that the banking industry is “an unethical mess”, and argued for reform on hidden or unclear banking charges. The Financial Services Consumer Panel singled out unauthorised overdraft charges of £5, stating they have no bearing on the cost of a consumer going over their limit.

Simeone Predict the Second Half Season More Weight
Madrid – Atletico Madrid had already covered half of the season 2014/2015. Satisfied with the results, Los colchoneros coach, Diego Simeone also predicted the second half of the season is more severe.
In three competitions which followed, arguably Atletico look good. In La Liga, they finished third. Collecting 41 points, Fernando Torres et al. berjadak three points clear of Barcelona in second place standings, four points ahead of Real Madrid at the top.
Meanwhile in the Copa del Rey, Atletico successfully get rid of El Real in the last 16. They were going to challenge Barca in the quarterfinals.
Atletico could also pass the first test by qualifying for the knockout phase of the Champions League this season. In the round of 16, they will be challenged by the representatives of Germany, Bayer Leverkusen.
With these results, it is natural that Simeone satisfied with the performance of Atletico. Especially children asuhanya able win in the last game at home to half of the season 2014/2015 Granada, Sunday (01/18/2015).
“It could win again in the last game of the first half of the season, we did well,” said Simeone at Atletico‘s official website.
“We looked at every competition. We must continue to have hope and the same intensity in every game. Since the second half of the season obviously heavier than the first,” he added.

Virginia is blessed with a wide variety of great fishing, from native trout in the western mountains to monster striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay. And state parks give you access to the best the commonwealth has to offer.
Try your hand at native brookies or stocked fish in the creeks at Grayson Highlands. Base camp and fish the many trout streams in the national forest lands around Hungry Mother, Douthat, Natural Tunnel or Shenandoah River. Douthat has a great put-and-take fishery in its lake as well as more than three miles of stocked creek waters, including a special section just for kids.
There is at least one state park on each of Virginia’s four major impoundments: Claytor Lake, Lake Anna, Buggs Island Lake (home of both Staunton River and Occoneechee parks) and Smith Mountain Lake. All of these lakes are famous for bass fishing, including striped bass, as well as their healthy populations of panfish. The big-lake parks offer camping, rental cabins, ample boat ramps and loads of family activities. They also have bank fishing, to one degree or another, and several have fishing piers and boat rentals.
Smaller lakes don’t mean less fishing fun. Many of Virginia’s parks offer fishing opportunities in waters ranging from one-acre ponds to 150-acre lakes. And don’t think you can’t find a big fish in a small pond. Former state record northern pike and chain pickerel came from state park lakes. But probably the most fun you’ll have small-lake fishing comes during a family outing, just relaxing on the bank and dunking worms for pan-sized bluegills and crappie. Most parks have plenty of fishing spots from the shore, and you can often rent a small boat or canoe during the summer and on weekends in spring and fall. For small lakes, check out Bear Creek Lake, Douthat, Fairy Stone, Holliday Lake, Hungry Mother, Pocahontas, Twin Lakes and York River state parks.
Virginia has some of the best smallmouth bass fishing rivers in America, and you can get to many of them in a Virginia State Park. James River, New River Trail and Shenandoah River state parks provide car-top launching (and sometimes areas for small trailers) and wading access to their namesake rivers, and they all have camping. You can even get a cabin at James River State Park to fish hard by day and relax each night. The campground at Natural Tunnel State Park, while not next to the water, provides a great base camp for the nearby Clinch River.
The tides run all the way to the fall-line in Virginia, so you can find freshwater and saltwater tidal rivers. Mason Neck and Leesylvania state Parks are on the freshwater portion of the Potomac River and provide boating access to some of the best largemouth bass fishing in the area. Leesylvania also has a small fishing pier. Caledon is on the brackish portion of the Potomac River and allows fishing on open sections of the shoreline. Westmoreland (lower Potomac), Belle Isle (Rappahannock) and York River (York) are along the saltwater portions of their rivers. York River has a small public fishing pier (no fishing license required), but the best opportunities at these parks are for boaters using the parks’ boat ramps. The fishing changes by season but generally follows the pattern of striped bass in the spring, fall and early winter, and bottom-fishing for flounder, spot, and croaker during warmer months.
Boaters love Kiptopeke and First Landing state parks because they offer direct access to the great fishing of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean… striped bass, flounder, spadefish, cobia and all the usual suspects. But the parks are also great for land-bound fishermen. Kiptopeke has a large, lighted fishing pier (no fishing license required), and First Landing has almost a mile of bay beach along the park campground. Both parks have cabins or lodges and large, well-equipped campgrounds.

For more information about fishing at a particular Virginia State Park, visit the park’s individual web page using the “Park Locations” tab above. Fishing licenses are required at all parks except at the Kiptopeke and York River piers where a fee is charged to fish. The fee covers users. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries website has information about freshwater fishing licenses. Visit the Virginia Marine Resources Commission website for information about saltwater fishing. Saltwater fishing also requires an annual free registration as explained on the website.

Campus News at East Texas Baptist University has a new post by Mike Midkiff with the title "ETBU Begins Fall Semester Monday, August 31". According to the report, classes will start on Monday, August 31, 2009. Compare it to August 27, 2007 and August 25, 2008 (please refer to the respective catalogs for reference). Contrary to popular myth, classes are NOT starting a week late this year. It is still the last Monday of the month of August.
The Campus News reports that ETBU 101 (orientation for freshmen) will be from August 26, 2009 through August 30, 2009, ending just a day before the new school year begins. This author himself was a part of ETBU 101 a couple of years back. I thoroughly enjoyed every small session (and most of the full sessions). If you get to attend, I strongly recommend that you do.

Each week, we look back on the NBA betting scene and give you the best - and worst - basketball bets, as well as some spots to keep an eye on with the upcoming schedule.
For the week of Dec. 8 to 14.
Hottest ATS - Oklahoma City Thunder (4-0 SU, 4-0 ATS)
The Thunder have won five games in a row going into Sunday's action, covering the spread easily in all five contests, including a 118-94 manhandling of the Eastern Conference leading Indiana Pacers. Kevin Durant has been his typical awesome self during the Thunder's current win streak, scoring 28.8 points and grabbing 8.4 rebounds per game in that span. The Thunder start off the week versus Orlando, then head to Denver, are back home against the spiraling downwards Chicago Bulls, all before a matchup of Western Conference elites in San Antonio.
Coldest ATS - Chicago Bulls (1-3 SU, 0-4 ATS)
Speaking of the devil, here sit the Bulls, who seem to be lost this season without Derrick Rose. Not having Rose in the lineup is nothing new for Chicago, but something is different since their star point guard went down this year. They have won only three of their last 10 games, going 2-8 ATS in that stretch, which includes losses to Utah, Cleveland, Milwaukee and Toronto. They have only averaged 79 points per game in their last five contests. This week the Bulls host Orlando, Houston and Oklahoma City on the road and Cleveland back at home.
Best Over play - Detroit Pistons (1-3 SU, 4-0 O/U)
The Pistons, who were last week's hottest team ATS cooled down a bit last week after matchups with Miami and Minnesota and a tough overtime loss at New Orleans. However, the Pistons hit the Over in every game last week and have gone over the total in eight of the past nine games. The Piston's offense has been improving of late, scoring at least 92 points in their past nine games thanks to a balanced attack. All five starters are averaging at least 13 points per game this season. The Pistons have a tough upcoming week with matchups against Portland, Indiana and Houston.
Best Under play - Boston Celtics (2-2 SU, 1-3 O/U)
The Celtics haven't quite figured out this whole 'tanking' thing yet. That is partly due to the fact that the Atlantic Division is one of the worst divisions in recent memory. The Celtics still lead the division with an 11-14 record, but have been a solid Under play all season thanks to their combination of mediocre offense and good defense. They are now a ranked fifth in points against per game at 95.7 while only scoring 94.8 points per game themselves. Boston has a little three game home stand this week, welcoming Minnesota, Detroit and Washington to town.
Surveying the Schedule:
The San Antonio Spurs are on another winning streak. Their current one is at four games, but they will have a tough road ahead if they want to keep the streak going. They are in the midst of a four game road trip with stops remaining against the high-flying L.A. Clippers, the always tough Phoenix Suns and the electric Golden State Warriors. All this before a showdown of two the West's elite teams when the Oklahoma City Thunder come to town next Saturday night.
