Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson said in a radio interview that poverty to “a large extent is also a state of mind.”
“You take somebody that has the right mindset, you take everything from them and put them on the street and I guarantee in a little while they’ll be right back up there,” he said in a SiriusXM radio interview released Wednesday. “And you take somebody with the wrong mindset, you can give them everything in the world, they’ll work their way right back down to the bottom.”
Carson added that a “defeatist attitude” could prevent people from escaping poverty.
“You know, that’s real poverty,” he said. “If you don’t have that defeatist attitude, there’s hope for you.”
“I think the majority of people don’t have that defeatist attitude, but they sometimes just don’t see the way and that’s where government can come in, and be very helpful,” Carson added. “It can provide a ladder of opportunity, it can provide the mechanism that we demonstrate to them what can be done.” Sirius has released Carson’s interview to news outlets to promote the broadcast.

Capitol Riverfront gets its first investment sales test
(Page 2 of 2)
Kevill said with drivers including the Navy Yard and Nationals Park, the waterfront area could be a long-term hold for buyers banking on more growth in the office market.
Whether investors will see the value in 100 M St. is another question still. The building is only 66 percent leased, with anchor tenant Parsons Services Co. locked into a lease through March 2019 for four floors and just under 83,000 square feet. CBRE estimates the property could generate a net operating income when fully leased of $6.9 million.
Those kind of stats could be more attractive to smaller investors willing to buy and hold than to larger, more risk-averse pension funds or institutional buyers, said Gerry Trainor, managing director of Transwestern’s investment sales group.
“You’re going to be paying a lot less to buy into the Southeast waterfront than in downtown D.C.,” Trainor said. “That’s going to be for somebody that wants a much higher yield, it’s much further out on the risk spectrum.”
There have been fewer investment sales this year than in 2011, which started off at a record pace with 18 office trades for $1.7 billion in the first three months in downtown D.C. In part, Trainor said the gap between what owners are willing to take for their buildings has started to come down closer to what buyers are looking to pay and that could result in more investment sales in the coming months.
“I think there’s a healthy balance between demand and supply,” Trainor said.
For the first quarter of this year, eight buildings traded for a total value of $1.1 billion. But Trainor said investors are still out there hammering away at pending deals, marked by the recent sales including The JBG Cos.’s acquisition of the Lion building at 1233 20th St. NW for $64.7 million, and CommonWealth Partners’ purchase of Hamilton Square at 600 14th St. NW for $198 million.

Startup Spotlight: How Solectrac wants to drive on-farm sustainability with its electric tractors
A few decades ago, the idea of self-driving tractors may have sounded like science fiction. Today, tractors are taking on new futuristic shapes and forms. While a number of startups are fast at work developing autonomous tractors, others are tackling sustainability-related aspects of these fuel-hungry machines. Fossil fuels account for the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions related to human activities, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.
“We never considered ourselves a start-up when we began this journey years ago. We were solution-minded dreamers on a mission to produce our vision: a zero-emission electric tractor that would solve immediate problems for the tractor owner, like noise and exhaust, and help reduce the inputs of climate change – such as the CO2 emissions caused by diesel tractors,” a representative of electric tractor start-up Solectrac told AFN.

Syngenta to commit $2bn to sustainable ag by 2025 & two tech breakthroughs each year
Major seed and ag chemicals provider Syngenta is adding another initiative to the ongoing list of corporate sustainability commitments sweeping big food and big agribusiness after the results of a farmer survey revealed deep concerns about the impact of climate change.
The announcement also happens to come on the heels of 2020’s Pollinator Week.
Through The Good Growth Plan, Syngenta is pledging to invest $2 billion into sustainable agriculture by 2025 and to deliver two new technological breakthroughs to market each year, according to a company press release. The plan is a refresh from the original Good Growth Plan launched in 2013, which included targets like bringing over 14 million hectares of farmland back from the brink of degradation and enhancing biodiversity on over 8 million hectares. Syngenta claims that it has met or exceeded all of the targets from the 2013 Good Growth Plan.

COVID-19: resilience innovations in food supply chains by Thomas Reardon and Johan Swinnen
Food supply disruptions in developing countries during the COVID-19 pandemic have been varied and often severe, especially in labor-intensive segments of supply chains. Tom Reardon of Michigan State University and IFPRI’s Jo Swinnen summarize early experiences in both international and domestic supply chains across various types of firms and commodities. They review a range of innovations developed to keep supply chains running, many implemented at a surprisingly rapid pace—and make recommendations on to facilitate continued innovation to speed the recovery and ensure better food supplies post-pandemic.—John McDermott, series co-editor and Director, CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH).
Covid-19: Level of asymptomatic spread
“If we had known about the level of asymptomatic spread, I think we would have all looked at this differently."
Knowing the levels of asymptomatic cases, which Birx said were initially estimated to be 15 percent of cases but now are thought to be as high as 40 percent, would have been especially helpful in crafting responses, she noted:
“If countries had known that from the beginning there would have been a very different response to this.”
Covid-19: Face-off over face-masks: Europe’s latest north-south split
Southerners cover up in public; northerners don’t.
In the West, some people choose not to wear masks because they are uncomfortable, awkward, or even, in America, too much of a political statement (supporters of President Donald Trump are less likely to wear them than Democrats). With a vaccine still months or even years away, these hardly seem adequate reasons to reject a simple, cheap and at least partially effective way of stemming transmission of the virus.
Tackling racism. The new ideology of race. And what is wrong with it
Our cover this week argues that a set of illiberal ideas about how to tackle American racism will only hinder progress. Leaders like Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King used vigorous protest and relentless argument to push society towards their vision of equality of opportunity and equality before the law. Most Americans still hew to that classical liberal ideal, as do many of those who marched with justified anger over the killing of George Floyd by a white policeman in Minneapolis. But a dangerous rival approach has emerged from American universities. It rejects the liberal notion of progress. It defines everyone by their race, and every action as racist or anti-racist. It is not yet dominant, but it is dynamic and it is spreading out of the academy into newsrooms and boardrooms. If it supplants liberal values, then intimidation will chill open debate and sow division to the disadvantage of all, black and white.
The new ideology of race is not just wrong and dangerous, it is also unnecessary. Liberalism can offer a fairer, more promising route to reform. It asserts the dignity of the individual and the legal, civil and moral equality of all people, whatever the colour of their skin. It believes in progress through argument and debate, in which reason and empathy lift truthful ideas and marginalise bigotry and falsehood.
Liberalism thrives on a marketplace of ideas, so diversity has a vital role. New voices and experiences enrich the debate. Liberalism does not fight power with power, which risks replacing one abusive regime with another. Instead it uses facts and evidence, tested in debate, to help the weak take on the strong.
Liberalism is all about progress, including about putting right its mistakes—and there have been many, especially over race, including finding reasons to accommodate imperialism and slavery. That is one reason why, in the 250 years in which it has been influential, humanity has seen unprecedented material, scientific and political gains, as well as a vast extension of social and political rights. Progress on racial inequities has been part of this—as in South Africa, where liberals joined forces with the trade unions and communists to sink apartheid.
The Real Reason Apple Made the iPhone SE So Cheap by Owen Williams
Apple is all about services now...
...But Apple’s focus on services is in part a reaction to people waiting longer to upgrade their phones. And so far, it seems to be working: Last year, the iPhone made up less than half of the company’s revenue for the first time in years, and that was before Apple’s TV, games, and news subscription services were even available. With an estimated 1.5 billion iPhone users today, Apple has the power to reach more eyeballs with a single software update or push notification than any other company.
The iPhone SE, at such a low price, is the perfect lure: Compared to the iPhone XS, it’s cheap enough to tempt anyone who’s looking to replace their phone and locks in years of potential cash for Apple, even if you buy just a single service or accessory after purchasing the phone. But the bet is simple: You’re all but certain to spend more money, and Apple wins regardless of what that is.

This article was reviewed based on Science X’s editorial process and policies. The editors have highlighted the following attributes ensuring the credibility of the content:
Billions of tons of snow accumulated atop the Sierra Nevada Mountains may cause parts of the Central Valley, just west of the range, to sink, confusing groundwater assessments that see sinking as a sign of depleted aquifers. A recent study from Stanford University now offers a way to explain this heavy mountain snowpack and more accurately measure groundwater levels.
Analysis of satellite measurements of surface changes over time has emerged as a promising method for monitoring groundwater in places like the agriculturally rich Central Valley, where farmers rely heavily on groundwater to irrigate crops in dry years . But the method requires a clear understanding of the true mechanisms behind any observed elevation changes.
The new study, published April 28 in Geophysics research letters, shows how snow and ice accumulated in the Sierra during California’s rainy season depresses the valley floor, accounting for most of the elevation change seen in the 60% of the valley. When tens or even hundreds of feet of snow accumulates in the Sierra, as it did in historic fashion last winter, the ground in the valley below sinks a tenth of an inch to an inch.
Although scientists have long suspected that snow and ice in nearby mountains could impair groundwater assessments linked to elevation changes, they didn’t have a way to quantify the effect. “We have shown for the first time how to untangle, decouple and ultimately isolate the two effects of elevation changes due to groundwater levels and snowpack load,” said lead author of the study Seogi Kang, postdoctoral fellow in geophysics at Stanford.
Failure to properly account for the effect of snowpack loading could lead groundwater managers, whose decisions are increasingly informed by altitude-based monitoring methods, to underestimate actual water levels.
“With the weather extremes of floods and droughts becoming more common due to climate change, coupled with the challenge of ensuring the long-term sustainability of our groundwater resources, providing groundwater managers with the latest technology and knowledge is critical said study senior author Rosemary Knight, a professor of geophysics at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. “This study is a major step in providing groundwater managers with a new way to use satellite data to accurately monitor the volume of groundwater stored in the Central Valley.”
The top view
For the study, Kang and Knight looked at more than five years of elevation data collected using a technique known as interferometric synthetic aperture radar, or InSAR, which works by measuring the time it takes for radar signals to bounce off a satellite from a series of locations. precise. on the ground at different times.
Analyzing this data over time can reveal insights into groundwater resources because the underground layers of sediment and clay act like a sponge. If pumping groundwater for irrigation and drinking water depletes an aquifer, it’s like squeezing the sponge: the strata compact and can cause the ground surface to sink.
The InSAR dataset used for the new study covers nearly all of the Central Valley’s 18,000 square miles, with measurements taken on average once a week between 2015 and 2019. It is far better than common groundwater monitoring methods that involve drilling sporadic wells across the vast Central Valley and checking the readings a few times a year.
The snowpack effect
Kang built a statistical machine learning program to sift through the immense array of InSAR data into similar clusters based on the temporal variation of the data. These data were then compared with monthly average snowpack data for the Sierra Nevada for the same time period. “Sorting the data this way allowed us to identify which parts of the Central Valley where elevation changes are dominated by hydrological loading, what we call the snowpack effect, and which parts are dominated by the groundwater system.” Kang said.
Overall, by filling major data gaps in the current groundwater monitoring regimen using InSAR data, the Stanford researchers hope their approach will support and inform groundwater management decisions, as to where and when to limit the pumping as best as possible to allocate new water delivery infrastructure.
“Much of the food we eat and enjoy comes from the Central Valley and other places that face significant water supply challenges,” Kang said. “With a better understanding of the hydrogeophysics at play here, we can help ensure that agricultural productivity in the Central Valley remains sustainable.”

It's tempting to say that it had to be this way for Northwestern, that the only way to end college basketball's craziest historical abnormality -- the Wildcats' lifelong NCAA tournament drought -- was to drench it in abnormal melodrama.
It feels fitting, the way the Wildcats all but guaranteed themselves their first tourney bid at Welsh-Ryan Arena on Wednesday night: a full-court heave, from one baseline to the other, that Northwestern forward Dererk Pardon caught and scored for the most important basket in Northwestern men's hoops history -- all within the final 1.7 seconds. It seems only natural that the Wildcats' bid would be sealed with fans spontaneously rushing onto the floor. It wasn't easy for the Chicago Cubs. Why would Northwestern's turn be any less epic? Why would its date -- March 1 -- be anything less than symbolic?
Fair enough. March 2017 is the first real March in Northwestern basketball history. It will be celebrated and canonized. The pun headlines -- "PARDONED!" and so forth -- shall spill forth following this 67-65 victory over Michigan, and they shall be glorious.
Still, Pardon's shot, the abnormal drama that ended this program's abnormal century of abnormal failure shouldn't obscure what came before it.
The 2016-17 Wildcats really got here by being, well, normal.
Relative to its own sordid hoops history, the most remarkable thing about this Northwestern team is of course the break from the past it represents. Relative to the rest of college basketball, though, the most remarkable thing is that Northwestern is, finally, a regular old college hoops team. Wednesday's buzzer-beater didn't come in the final round of the Big Ten tournament, after all. When the Wildcats hear their name on Selection Sunday, it won't be because a bad team shocked the world in one weekend of single-elimination play. Nor will it be because Northwestern, from the blue, assumed the look of a national title contender.
Rather, it will be because Northwestern accomplished what so many solid, above-average and otherwise unremarkable college basketball teams accomplish every season: 20-some wins, an above-.500 league record, no glaringly bad losses, a few quality wins here and there. Being one of the at-large teams in the NCAA tournament doesn't require a miracle. In some cases, mediocrity can do the job. It's really not that hard.
The fact that Northwestern is doing so many things so many other college basketball programs take for granted -- including plenty that lack a storied hoops tradition, let's say -- is almost as mind-blowing as the NCAA tournament streak itself. Twenty wins stopped being a barometer for a successful season decades ago; until Wednesday, it was Northwestern's all-time record for wins.
Nor is the Wildcats' essential normalcy restricted to their resume.
To anyone who watched Northwestern play during Bill Carmody's 11 seasons at the program, seeing third-year coach Chris Collins' success might feel a little bit like being handed an iPhone after being on a desert island for a decade, if that island was also the Island of Misfit Toys. Carmody's teams were stubbornly anachronistic. The relentlessly back-cutting Princeton offense; those weird little spin-pivots on passes that everyone else stopped running 40 years ago; the 1-3-1 zone defense; the 5-foot-8 players manning the baseline. The players Carmody recruited -- as good as some of them were -- almost always seemed to come with their own quirks: good shooters had strange releases; guards were almost always undersized; big men were found in obscure, off-the-radar recruiting sojourns.
Collins' teams, meanwhile, are comprised of Division I major-conference-level recruits. They play standard man-to-man defense with some occasional zone thrown in. They pick and roll. They read screens. They space the floor. They post up. They play modern, normal basketball.
This shouldn't be a big deal. That it is reflects just how different this Northwestern season is to so much of what came before: stylistically and strategically, as well as in the way it measures success.
The heave pass that Pardon caught and finished, with 1.7 seconds left to play, will be remembered as the greatest in Northwestern history. It is a massive moment in program history, no doubt, and nothing about it was normal.
That it all but locked a power conference team's first-ever NCAA tournament bid in 2017 is also, well, the opposite of normal. But finally, mercifully, everything else about Northwestern is.
Welcome to March, Wildcats. You guys should fit in just fine.

The Calgary Flames will play their third preseason game tonight at the Saddledome when they take on the Tampa Bay Lightning (7 pm, The Fan 960). Calgary hasn't played since Tuesday, when they took 3-2 and 3-1 wins against the Vancouver Canucks. Tampa Bay is coming off a game Thursday in Edmonton, where they fell 5-2 to the Oilers.

The Calgary Flames reduced their training camp roster by 14 players on Friday morning, sending all 14 players to the Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League. Of the players, Mitch Wahl is probably the most surprising to be assigned, mostly because of how he's impressed as of late.

New Addition to Spider-Man Cast
There's a new addition to the cast of the sequel to The Amazing Spiderman. According to an official statement from the studio, Dane DeHaan will join the cast of the next installment of The Amazing Spider-Man along side Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx and Shailene Woodley as production begins on the next chapter of the blockbuster franchise.
The screenplay is by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci and Jeff Pinkner based on a previous draft by James Vanderbilt. The film will once again be directed by Marc Webb and produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach.
The casting of DeHaan as Harry Osborn was reportedly confirmed in a tweet by Webb (@MarcW) who wrote "Meet Harry Osborn. So excited to have him on board. @danedehaan."
"Dane is an exciting and extraordinary young actor and he is a fantastic addition to our cast," Webb said. The new film in the Spider-Man saga is set for release in 3D on May 2, 2014. Production will begin in early 2013 in New York. Webb, Garfield and Stone previously teamed on The Amazing Spider-Man, which has taken in more than $751 million worldwide.
DeHaan has already been in the news for his performances in four 2012 releases: Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln, opposite Daniel Day-Lewis and Lukas Haas; John Hillcoat’s Lawless, alongside Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, and Jason Clarke; Bradley Rust Gray’s Jack & Diane, with Juno Temple and Riley Keough; and one the adventure thriller Chronicle, directed by Josh Trank. He began his film career with director John Sayles and actor Chris Cooper in Amigo. DeHaan next stars in Place Beyond the Pines alongside Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling. In addition he will star in Atom Egoyan’s Devil’s Knot, with Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth, about the fate of the West Memphis Three; and John Krokidas’ Kill Your Darlings, with Jack Huston, Daniel Radcliffe, Ben Foster, and Kyra Sedgwick, set in 1944 amidst the Beat Generation.
Mr. DeHaan first came to industry attention with his portrayal of Jesse in the third season of the critically applauded drama series In Treatment, starring alongside Gabriel Byrne. This was followed by a guest arc in the fourth season of the popular horror series True Blood.
In 2010, he received an Obie Award for his performance in Annie Baker’s The Aliens, directed by Sam Gold. The Rattlestick Theater production was cited as “Play of the Year” by The New York Times. Mr. DeHaan made his Broadway debut in with American Buffalo, Robert Falls’ 2008 staging of the classic David Mamet play.

Posts for: November, 2020
Parents love watching their kids grow up, from those early wobbly steps to their first solo car drive. Of course, you can expect a few mishaps along the way, most of which won't leave them worse for wear. But some risks are just too hazardous to ignore—including the potential for dental injuries.
Each year, one in ten children suffers a traumatic dental injury, many of which require extensive treatment. That's why during National Child Safety and Prevention Month in November, we're highlighting areas of risk for pediatric dental injuries, and how you can prevent them.
That risk changes depending on a child's stage of development. Teething infants, for example, relieve gum pressure by gnawing on things. Make sure, then, that you have items for teething made of cloth or soft plastic, and keep harder items that could damage their gums and emerging teeth out of reach.
Toddlers learning to walk encounter numerous injury opportunities, like a fall that lands them face first on a hard surface. You can reduce this risk by moving tables and other hard furniture out of your child's travel paths, covering sharp edges with padding, or simply isolating your child from home areas with hard furniture.
Pay attention also during bath time. Wet porcelain is notoriously slippery even for adults, and possibly more so for a child. A sudden slip in the bathtub could cause a mouth injury, so encourage your child not to stand until it's time to get out.
School-aged children face another set of perils to their mouth from outside play. At this stage, your best preventive measure is teaching them to observe play safety: Make sure they know not to aim balls, frisbees or other play items at others' heads, and to be on the lookout for the same. You'll also want them to be safety-minded playing on swings, monkey bars or other playground equipment.
If your older kids take an interest in sports, particularly the contact variety, you'll want to protect them with an athletic mouthguard (and encourage them to wear it during both practice and regular games). You can purchase a mouthguard at any retail or sporting goods store, but the most protective and comfortable to wear are custom-made by a dentist. Although more expensive, they'll still cost less than treatment for a traumatic dental injury.
The wonderful adventure of childhood does have its risks, and some are more serious than others. By following these prevention tips, you can help your child avoid a dental injury that could rob them of a healthy mouth.
If you would like more information about childhood dental concerns, please contact us or schedule a consultation. To learn more, read the Dear Doctor magazine articles “Dentistry and Oral Health for Children” and “An Introduction to Sports Injuries & Dentistry.”
You can't correct a poor bite with braces or clear aligners overnight: Even the most cut-and-dried case can still require a few years to move teeth where they should be. It's a welcome relief, then, when you're finally done with braces or aligner trays.
That doesn't mean, however, that you're finished with orthodontic treatment. You now move into the next phase—protecting your new smile that took so much to gain. At least for a couple of more years you'll need to regularly wear an orthodontic retainer.
The name of this custom-made device explains its purpose: to keep or “retain” your teeth in their new, modified positions. This is necessary because the same mechanism that allows us to move teeth in the first place can work in reverse.
That mechanism centers around a tough but elastic tissue called the periodontal ligament. Although it primarily holds teeth in place, the ligament also allows for tiny, gradual tooth movement in response to mouth changes. Braces or aligner trays take advantage of this ability by exerting pressure on the teeth in the direction of intended movement. The periodontal ligament and nature do the rest.
But once we relieve the pressure when we remove the braces or aligners, a kind of “muscle memory” in the ligament can come into play, causing the teeth to move back to where they originally were. If we don't inhibit this reaction, all the time and effort put into orthodontic treatment can be lost.
Retainers, either the removable type or one fixed in place behind the teeth, gently “push” or “pull” against the teeth (depending on which type) just enough to halt any reversing movement. Initially, a patient will need to wear their retainer around the clock. After a while, wear time can be reduced to just a few hours a day, usually during sleep-time.
Most younger patients will only need to wear a retainer for a few years. Adults who undergo teeth-straightening later in life, however, may need to wear a retainer indefinitely. Even so, a few hours of wear every day is a small price to pay to protect your beautiful straightened smile.
If you would like more information on orthodontic retainers, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article “The Importance of Orthodontic Retainers.”

In 2018, students and officials at Middle Tennessee State University pushed for a building known as Forrest Hall to be renamed. When it went up for a vote with the Tennessee Historical Commission, they didn’t get approval.
Three years later, on a rainy July day, student Toriana Williams stood in front of Forrest Hall and wondered what the removal of Nathan Bedford Forrest’s bust from the Tennessee State Capitol could mean for MTSU.
“I think it’s confusing that they would remove the bust and not have removed or renamed Forrest Hall,” Williams says. “I’m not sure what changed for them. It does make me excited for their possible support in this situation.”
Only four petitions have made it through the process laid out in a state law called the Heritage Protection Act, including the Forrest bust. Those legal hoops put in place by the law can have a chilling effect.

Phillip Phillips’ ‘Home’ Makes Chart History
Ratings for ‘American Idol‘ may have been down this season, but fans of winner Phillip Phillips helped the 21-year-old score one of the biggest digital sales weeks of any contestant in the show’s history. Phillips sold 278,000 copies of ‘Home’ last week, helping the coronation song land at No. 2 on the Digital Songs chart and No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.
That sales total is the second-biggest digital week for any ‘Idol’ alum, trailing only the 280,000 downloads of Kelly Clarkson‘s ‘My Life Would Suck Without You’ in 2009. Among ‘Idol’ coronation songs, ‘Home’ now owns the download record, eclipsing David Cook‘s ‘The Time of My Life,’ which sold 236,000.
Billboard notes that Clay Aiken did have a bigger sales week before digital downloads became the default format. Aiken sold 393,000 CD singles of ‘This is the Night’ back in 2003 after finishing as runner-up to Ruben Studdard.
Even though Phillips admitted ‘Home’ isn’t necessarily his preferred musical style, saying, “It’s a good song, but it’s not something I would write,” the ‘Idol’ judges loved the track when he performed it on the show, backed up by a marching band. Jennifer Lopez commented, “That was a Phillip song and there is nothing on the radio that sounds like that!” Randy Jackson said, “I love the song, I love the production. Everything about that was perfect.”

What about ordering from afar? Should we remain local?

First thing's first -- Adele's album has been released!!! Maybe not in North America yet, but all I care about is that there's a torrent available. Her new album (and sophomore, as they say) is called "21" and I'm 5 tracks in and already melting with awe, love, inspiration, emotion... the whole gamut. She is really bringing her "A" game with a new groove and sound, a little more jazziness, but also just the ballad-belting Adele Adkins that we fell in love with in "19". I can't wait to work my way through the rest.
Secondly -- I saw "The Kids Are All Right" yesterday and feel the need to speak on it.
I loved the movie. I really did. I thought it was funny, emotional, sweet, and honest. It was, and it also wasn't about the fact that Nic and Jules were lesbians. I mean, certainly that fact was unavoidable, but they didn't draw undue attention to it. They weren't a spectacle; they were a couple. And the drama that happened... I don't think it was dealt with in the wrong way. I thought it was real and honest and genuine. I loved it.
Here's what I will say about the fact that the main couple were lesbians...
When I used to meet on a regular basis with a LGBTQ university student-based discussion group, we used to talk about the portrayal (or lack thereof) of queer characters in the media. Often people would talk about wanting to see their lives within TV shows and movies and that it was hard to do that without queer characters.
Well, I've never had a problem relating to anyone, gay or straight, that seems at all like me on a show or in a movie. However, when I saw this movie, "The Kids Are All Right", I felt something different for the first time. I really felt more connected to the movie because of the fact that the main couple were lesbians. I really did. And the thing is that this movie is not my favourite movie - it doesn't rival "Apollo 13" or "Mean Girls" or "Good Will Hunting" - but it offered the portrayal of something more personal to me, and I felt it.
This doesn't mean that straight people or gay men shouldn't be able to see their relationships/experiences within the portrayal of a lesbian relationship, but it did mean that I took something personal out of it.
Bravo to Julianne Moore & Annette Bening for playing the shit out of those 2 characters. Especially Annette Bening. She deserves the Oscar nod because she brought such realness and rawness to the character of Nic. Well done!

Going to Cuba!
Husb and I are traveling to Cuba in early January. (We're going with an education based tour company, Cuba Cultural Travel.) I've always wanted to go to Cuba, ever since I visited Key West, Florida, many years ago. I saw Hemingway's house, and was told he also had a house in Cuba--and decided then I wanted to see Cuba.
I'm preparing a small journal for the trip, since I want to draw everything I see.
And of course, I had to include Fidel in my journal.
As I was creating the map, it was interesting to realize not only how large Cuba is, but how close to other places we've visited, like Key West, Jamaica and Turks & Caicos.

Worcestershire did a bizarre thing in the field during their Natwest T20 Blast game against Northamptonshire last night when they had no one behind the stumps as the wicketkeeper became an extra fielder. Worcestershire skipper Daryl Mitchell asked his team’s wicketkeeper Ben Cox to remove his keeping gloves and pads and become an extra fielder as no one stood behind the stumps to England International Moeen Ali’s bowling.
According to Mitchell, the ploy developed as an extension of MS Dhoni’s decision to stand back to the spinners while keeping for India in the Test series in England last summer. The umpires too didn’t have any hesitation in allowing to have an extra fielder after they consulted with the match referee and allowed it.
Worcestershire Chairman Steve Rhodes said that in cricket, the job of a team is stop the opposition from scoring and the ploy used by his team was legal. In a game when you’re trying to stop the opposition scoring, it’s a legitimate tactic, Rhodes said.
One of the things I challenged the coaches in the winter to do, was to try and come up with some ideas that might just knock the opposition off their guard a little bit. It came about when I watched MS Dhoni stand back to the spinners for India and I thought that was a great idea. Afterwards, he said he wanted another catcher around the corner and he felt he could do that himself, standing back. That’s how it started us thinking about it, Rhodes added.
Northants batsman at that point of time Jack Cobb too said that it was legal to do so. He also added that he was not sure that it was under the spirit of the game as no one had done it in the past. Cobb said I saw Daryl Mitchell telling Ben Cox to go back and I thought he was going to keep from the edge of the ring. Then I turned around and saw him without pads or gloves on. It’s in the Laws and they’ve obviously looked into it and there’s no Law against it. You’ve just got to question whether it’s in the spirit of the game. But that’s probably because it’s never been done before. When they first come out, these things usually get questioned and left alone.

Yesterday, the makers of Naga Chaitanya’s ongoing romantic family entertainer, Sailaja Reddy Alludu, unveiled the film’s first look posters. Chay’s stylish makeover left his fans thrilled and raised expectations on the film.
Now, Chay’s latest statement will further catapult the already high expectations. Interacting with an English daily, Chay revealed that Sailaja Reddy Alludu has similarities with his father Nagarjuna’s super hit 1993 film, Allari Alludu. Incidentally, both the movies have their heroes settling the scores with their mothers-in-law.
While Vanisri played Nag’s mother-in-law in Allari Alludu, Ramya Krishna played Chay’s mother-in-law in Sailaja Reddy Alludu. Anu Emmanuel is the film’s leading lady and Maruthi is the director. Suryadevara Nagavamsi is producing the movie, which is slated to hit the screens on August 31.

New Zealand vs South Africa, 3rd Test: Injury woes continue for hosts as Trent Boult ruled out after Tim Southee
New Zealand scrambled on Friday to determine their third Test line-up to face South Africa in Hamilton with strike bowlers Trent Boult and Tim Southee as well as senior batsman Ross Taylor all injured.
Hamilton: New Zealand scrambled on Friday to determine their third Test line-up to face South Africa in Hamilton with strike bowlers Trent Boult and Tim Southee as well as senior batsman Ross Taylor all injured.
"It's an interesting process with so many injuries to try and nut down the balance that we do want to go in with," captain Kane Williamson said.
Boult pulled out Friday after failing to recover sufficiently from the groin injury that affected him in the drawn first Test in Dunedin.
Southee has withdrawn with a hamstring injury and Taylor continues to be hampered by the calf tear that kept him out of the second Test in Wellington which South Africa won by eight wickets.
With the tourists 1-0 up, New Zealand need to win in Hamilton to level the series and Williamson said the state of the wicket on Saturday before the toss would determine the balance of the side.
"Two spinners is an option we're looking at due to conditions, but also due to how many people we have fit at the moment," Williamson said.
The absence of Boult, Southee and Taylor not only meant shoring up the batting and bowling departments for New Zealand, but also the slip cordon where Taylor was a permanent fixture and Southee a regular member.
"We were perhaps a little bit limited for the options we might have originally wanted to go in with, the balance we had, so that's why we want to think a little bit more about it and come and have a look again tomorrow."
With first-choice bowling backup Lockie Ferguson also injured, the Black Caps called up uncapped Northern Districts all-rounder Scott Kuggeleijn as cover.
At domestic level, Kuggeleijn, 25, "has been one of the top performers with the ball in hand but also he's scored a number of runs in that middle to lower order", Williamson said.
Kuggeleijn was unavailable for national selection until recently while he stood trial for rape over an incident dating back to May 2015.
However, a jury found him not guilty last month, deliberating for less than an hour before clearing him.
While Williamson would not reveal any details about the likely make up of the side, head selector Gavin Larsen indicated Neil Wagner and Matt Henry would take over the new ball duties in the absence of Boult and Southee.
"Not having Trent or Tim available tests the depth of our squad, but we're confident of the job that Neil and Matt can do for us," he said.
Japan has seen the number of infections decline following a record spike last month, which prompted the government to expand and extended virus restrictions, despite the national vaccination programme ramping up.
India's Ajeetesh Sandhu opened with a solid three-under 69, even as compatriot Shubhankar Sharma fought back superbly on the second nine to card two-under 70 in the first round of the Dutch Open golf tournament.
The 18-year-old Briton became the first qualifier in history to win a Grand Slam when she defeated 19-year-old Canadian Leylah Fernandez 6-4, 6-3 at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Saturday.

The Charminar in Hyderabad, at the capital city of Andhra Pradesh, is a massive arch built by Mohammed Quli Qutab Shah, in 1591 to commemorate the end of the plague in the city. The symbol of the city, the Charminar, is an impressive square monument with four minarets. The arch is illuminated daily in the evening, an unforgettable sight indeed.
The city of Hyderabad, with its delightful blend of the ancient and the modern, presents to the onlooker an interesting skyline with modern buildings standing shoulder to shoulder with fascinating 400 year old edifices. It boasts of some fine examples of Qutab Shahi architecture – the Jami Masjid, the Mecca Masjid, Toli Masjid, and of course, the impressive symbol of Hyderabad, the Charminar.
The Charminar was built with granite and lime-mortar. It is a blend of ‘Cazia’ and Islamic style of architecture. The intertwined arches and domes are examples of typical Islamic style of the architecture. The graceful floral motif atop the Charminar is enchanting. The Charminar depicts the Indo-Saracenic tradition – a symbiosis of the Hindu and the Muslim traditions, which has woven the magic of a rich Deccan culture. The Charminar looks spectacular particularly in the nights when it is illuminated.
It offers an excellent panoramic view of the city and Golconda Fort, which makes the mind go back into time and recapitulates the past glory of Hyderabad during the Qutub Shahi times. Charminar has become an inseparable part of the history of Hyderabad.
A magnificent edifice, it epitomises Hyderabad and marks its 400 years of history. Built by ruler Quli Qutb Shah it stands 180ft. tall, the four minarets soar to height of 48.7Mts. each above the ground. Within are 45 prayers spaces and a mosque. It is being pedestrianised for better access as well as safety of the monument. Must See!
A proud sentinel in the heart of the Old City, this magnificent monument built by Quli Qutub Shah, is the unique symbol of Hyderabad. It was built in 1591 by Quli Qutb Shah. to commemorate the end of the plague that had ravaged Hyderabad, The four graceful minarets from which ‘Charminar’ derives its name, literally meaning ‘Four Minars’ soar to a height of 48.7 Mts. each, above the ground.
Charminar, a splendid piece of architecture standing in the heart of the hyderabad city built by Quli Qutub Shah, in 1591. This magnificent monument is the unique symbol of Hyderabad. Charminar is often called as “The Arc de triomphe of the East”. It is considered as the legendary masterpiece of Qutub Shahi’s.
Charminar derives its name from four intricately carved minarets, The four graceful minarets literally meaning ‘Four Minars’, soar to a height of 48.7m each, above the ground. It is located amidst the colourful shops of Lad Bazaar with its glittering traditional bangles in the old city. Enormous in its size, this imposing monument of India exudes a charm that is more than 400 years old
The history of Hyderabad begins with the establishment of the Qutub Shahi dynasty. Owing to the inadequacy of water and frequent epidemics of plague and cholera Quli Qutub Shah established the new city with the Charminar at its centre with four great roads fanning out in four cardinal directions.
The plan is a square, each side 20m long, while the four arches are 11m wide and rise 20m from the plinth. The four-storeyed minarets rise 20m from the roof of the massive monument and measure 24m from the plinth. The western section of the roof contains a mosque, ranking among the finest the gifted Qutub Shahi artisans ever built.
There are 45 prayer spaces with a large open space in front to accommodate more for Friday prayers. To the east of this space is a lovely verandah with a large open arch in the centre, flanked by smaller ones on both sides.

As I travel around the saltier parts of the earth on my quest to go nowhere slowly, I often stay in one place for extended periods. A different approach to many travelers who have given themselves a couple of years to get around the world and one that brings a different set of rewards. I really enjoy getting to know a place in depth and to have local friends – rather than dash around from anchorage to anchorage trying to join up imaginary lines on our wonderful planet. This approach suits me by nature and it also means that I get plugged into the grapevine and get to hear about great bargains.
Calypso II was one such bargain because the owner had left the country and needed to sell to someone who could re-commission a boat that had been standing for 9 months and was prepared to to come to Fiji and sail the boat out of the country before her visa expired (which is a very limited demographic in a market that already favours the buyer), hence a good price was struck.
A similar opportunity exists for SV Wings. My good friends Gally and Akiko must return to Japan to be with aging parents. Akiko has already left and Gally is waiting until their lovely boat is sold in order to join her. Accordingly, their 39 foot liveaboard home is for sale at a ridiculously reduced price and would make a great world cruiser for a budget minded sea gypsy.
Wings is a one-off medium displacement yacht built by Noel Henley, Gold Coast Queensland Australia. with a proper full keel and attached rudder.
Her overall length is 39’ (about 36′ without bowsprit). The waterline length is 35’. Beam 11’ draft 5.8’ displacement 10.5 ton
Ballast 2 1/2 ton. She is readyto go for local cruising and would make a great ocean basher with a few alterations.
I have not personally surveyed her, but I know the boat and how much they have put into her At the price they are asking, the new owner will simply be paying for their labour and will get the boat virtually for free. I am waiting for confirmation from them, but I think the boat is fully imported into Fiji and does not require anyone to sail her away to renew her status there.
Fiji is a great place to hone your sea-gypsy skills in the relative calm of the waters inside the fringing reef, so a great opportunity for both the seasoned sailor and the novice who needs time to find his/her sea legs before heading out on the big blue. Furthermore, the boat is on the East Coast which not only has the best weather and sailing, but is the best place to make any changes the new owner will inevitably want. (Plus of course, I am here to stick my bloody oar in).
Most foreigners can get 6 month vistor’s visa (4 months on entry and 2 month extension) and for a little extra cash can extend that for another year . So, 18 months before you have to hop on the flight to Brisbane (about 300 US each way) to fly out and in to start the next 18 months.
So, if you have been waiting for the final push to tip you into this life, SV Wings might just be the kick in the butt you have been waiting for. Message me and I will pass on the details. Good Luck and Fair
Disclaimer: I am not a broker and receive no commision or remuneration of any sort from the sellers. I have not surveyed the boat and do not guarantee her condition. I am merely recommending what seems to me to be a bargain as a favour to the readers of my blog. As always, it will be up to the buyer to arrange a survey and satisfy him/herself that the boat is in good condition

People are still buzzing on the Web about Casey Anthony, who was released from Orange County Jail on July 17, 2011. More than two months after she was acquitted of murdering her daughter, Caylee, she is reportedly seeing a grief counselor and will soon have appointments with a female psychiatrist.
According to People magazine, Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez previously stated that his client would need treatment for the trauma involved with her child’s death, as well as her time in prison.
From the news released on Thursday, September 15 that she has now been ordered to pay the state of Florida $100,000 for costs incurred by both the police and those who searched for her daughter in 2008, to the latest article in People Magazine about her psychological treatments, Casey Anthony remains a hot topic in the social media world.
Dr. Drew tweeted his thoughts about Casey’s mother’s claim about the state of her daughter’s mental health:
DrDrewHLN: Cindy Anthony has claimed Casey may suffer from postpartum schizophrenia. Add your thoughts…
Donald Trump, Jr weighed on Twitter in about the court costs Casey Anthony will have to pay:
DonaldJTrumpJr: Casey Anthony ordered to pay $97K for investigation costs. Me: Seems like a bargain 4 getting away w/ murder. Can I lock in that rate???
Friday’s article on People.com about Casey Anthony’s mental health treatment drew interesting comments from those who are still angry that she the Florida resident was not found guilty.
This sicko needed HELP before she killed her child. What is she going to get help so when she does it again it will even be easier to get off?
Where was this woman’s grief and trauma when her child was missing for a month, and she never bothered to report it? … Needless to say, this babe doesn’t get much sympathy from me.
There’s still buzz several days after Dr. Phil interviewed Casey Anthony’s parents on September 13. (Video left) Her mother, Cindy Anthony, suggested that her daughter may have had a seizure or even a brain tumor that may have led to the death of 2-year-old Caylee.
dufajjulie: This family really IS particularly dysfunctional.
DrDaleArcher: New excuse from Casey’s parents: Casey had a seizure while Caylee was drowning in the pool! Seriously Anthony family?
The 2011 murder trial was described by Time magazine as “the social media trial of the century.”While the buzz is certainly less than it was in July when Casey Anthony was released from jail, it will be a long time before this tragic story is put to rest in the history books.

A resolution demanding Iran offer more assistance in releasing Robert Levinson, a Florida resident who has been missing in that Middle Eastern for almost a decade, is gaining steam on Capitol Hill.
A resolution from Florida’s two U.S. senators--Democrat Bill Nelson and Republican Marco Rubio--passed the Senate without opposition on Thursday. Levinson worked for the FBI and DEA went missing in 2007 during a private investigation case in Iran involving cigarette smuggling. Back in 2013, the Associated Press ran a story insisting Levinson worked for the CIA.
“It is outrageous that the Iranian government has failed to provide information that would help bring Bob home,” Rubio said. “The Obama administration missed an opportunity to make the freedom of Americans held in Iran a priority during the nuclear negotiations, and has left Bob’s case unresolved even as they have continued to make concession after concession to Tehran.
“Bob and his family deserve much better,” Rubio added. “This sends an important message that America stands with the Levinsons and we want to see the Iranian regime provide information regarding the whereabouts of Bob so that his wife and their seven children can get the answers they deserve.”
On the other side of the Capitol, U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Fla., is backing a similar resolution which moved through the U.S. House Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee on Thursday. Deutch is the ranking Democrat on that subcommittee.
"In just one month, we will mark nine years since Bob Levinson disappeared on Iran's Kish Island on March 9, 2007 and in those nine years, the Levinson family has never given up on their efforts to bring their husband and father home,” Deutch said. “They deserve to feel the same elation and relief felt by the families of the other Americans released by Iran in the recent prisoner exchange."
Deutch, who broke ranks with President Barack Obama over his deal with Iran over its nuclear program, gave a tip of the cap to U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., who chairs the subcommittee for her support and said he hoped the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee would quickly take up the resolution.
In the meantime, Deutch is urging “Americans to help raise awareness about Bob Levinson's case by using the hashtag #WhatAboutBob” on Twitter.

Anthony Riccio grew up in an old ethnic neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut, where the constant hum of the local American Steel and Wire mill could be heard in the well-tended backyards of Italian immigrants. He returned to the ancestral villages of his grandparents while pursuing an M.A. from Syracuse University in Florence and photographed daily life in the rural villages of the south. He later became the director of the North End Senior Citizen Center in Boston, where he conducted oral-history interviews and photographed elderly Italian Americans of the North End neighborhood. He lives in Westbrook, Connecticut.

Illustrated with 100 vintage photos of Boston's North End and the people who made it their home, this book offers a heartfelt and fascinating view of one of the last intact Italian-American neighborhoods in the United States. Written to fulfill the wish of one North End elder, "so that people will never forget us," it is the result of many years of interviews with hundreds of Italian immigrants. At the turn of the last century these individuals left their rural homeland, carrying their Old World contadino customs and beliefs, and transformed the urban ghetto of Boston into a Little Italy.
Through vivid recollections spoken in their unique village idiom, these elderly storytellers bring to life the remarkable working history of Italian- immigrant men and women, their adaptation of old traditions and village lifestyle to their new urban surroundings, their assimilation into the American way of life, and their undying loyalty to family and community.
Together, this collection of images and oral histories clearly depict what the old neighborhood was like prior to the 1980s when the progression of urban development in the North End transformed the community, and life itself, forever.

Read an Excerpt
From the book's preface:
The North End I found in the late 1970s was still an intact, self-contained neighborhood of multi-storied brick tenement houses with walk-up apartments, a vibrant community where people walked the streets and elders gathered on corners and in parks speaking regional dialects of Calabrese, Napoletano, Siciliano, and Abruzzese. Open-air fruit and vegetable stands, family-run bakeries named "Boschetto," "Drago," and "Parziale," meat markets, pastry shops, religious society clubhouses with figures of patron saints painted on street-level windows, and corner barbershops lined the narrow streets, reminiscent of the rural southern Italian villages the immigrants had left behind at the turn of the century. . . .
The idea of preserving the neighborhood's history came to me as I listened to a woman recounting how she had to leave school at age 14 to help support her large family, a story similar to my mother's own childhood experience in New Haven. When she articulated what it felt like to step on a scale for weekly weigh-ins under the watchful eyes of officials while wearing a lead-filled undergarment fitted by her parents so she could satisfy the labor-law weight requirements for working children in 1925, it inspired me to start my own kind of neighborhood history project.
Encouraged by Jim, I began interviewing the elderly in either English or Italian. These tape-recorded sessions took place during my many visits to their old-fashioned cold water flats where we often conversed at kitchen tables warmed from the heat of an opened oven door, sipping espresso,or talked in living rooms decorated with pictures of saints, or--during summer months--conducted our conversations amid their rooftop vegetable gardens. Some interviews were recorded during casework conversations at the Drop-In Center, during those troubling moments when old people faced eviction from their homes--the distressing underside beneath the glitter of the "New Boston" not reported by the news media. Prior to the skyrocketing values of real estate and condominium conversion in the North End, the idea of facing a sudden steep rent hike or being evicted by the landlord was unfamiliar and hardly understood in Italian-speaking households. In my daily walks around the neighborhood, I also recorded lively street conversations in local parks and on corners where the elderly gathered, in their cellars where they made wine, and at their summertime religious festivals.
