Assessing the circular re-design of prefabricated building envelope elements for carbon neutral renovation
Buildings and the construction industry at large are significant contributors to the catastrophic climate breakdown. The built environment is responsible for 37% of the total global carbon emission, of which about a third arises from the energy used to produce building and construction materials, usually referred to as embodied carbon. One of the key strategies to reduce the environmental impact of buildings is to significantly improve their energy efficiency, which is referred to as deep renovation. Prefabricated building envelope elements intended to prevent heat loss through the building envelope are considered a key deep-renovation technology. Connecting prefabricated elements to a building reflects a potential stream of waste if applied linearly with severe negative environmental impact in terms of natural resource depletion and exposure to pollutants. This article reports on a quantitative Design for Disassembly (Dfd) indicator to assess future recovery potential and, subsequently, its impact on embodied carbon emission of the circular redesign of three different prefabricated building envelope elements. Although none of the redesigned elements are yet considered 100% circular, the development of these three prefabricated building envelope elements showcases that the environmental impact can be substantially reduced following a well-structured and dedicated innovation process. The reduction of the environmental impact is indicated by lower quantities of embodied carbon up to 50% and an improved design for disassembly, reflecting a higher reuse potential of building materials and components. Several limitations and directions for further research were identified to advance the development of circular, prefabricated deep-renovation building envelope elements.
«DRIVE 0 – Driving decarbonization of the EU building stock by enhancing a consumer centred and locally based circular renovation process»
The DRIVE 0 project deals with the promotion of strategies for the decarbonisation of the existing building stock through the implementation of deep renovation interventions. The project aims at promoting the adoption of a circular approach in renovation processes that, in order to be attractive and effective, must be based on the customer’s actual needs.
According to the DRIVE 0 approach, circular retrofitting is based on the use of energy from renewable sources and the use of materials from biological or technical cycles, in which waste production is minimised and end-of-life strategies with a positive impact on the environment are envisaged.
Are energy decisions about energy? A study of homeowners’ decision-making processes in the transition to low-carbon housing in the Netherlands.
The transition to a low-carbon housing stock must increase more rapidly to meet the European climate goals: 55% reduction of greenhouse gasses in 2030 and becoming climate neutral in 2050. This transition can be realised by implementing residential low-carbon measures such as insulation, high-efficiency glazing, efficient heating and ventilation systems, and residential renewable energy production […]

A fresh weather alert has been issued for Derby with a second storm on the horizon this weekend.
Storm Ali is set to hit today , with a yellow alert in force from 6pm today until 9am tomorrow morning.
But the Met Office says there is potential for another very windy spell across parts of the UK on Sunday and into early Monday.
And a second warning has been issued, from 9am Sunday morning lasting 24 hours.
The likelihood of strong winds hitting is relatively low, but if they do occur the impact could be high.
They warn there is a small chance of injuries and danger to life from flying debris as well as a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs or through falling trees and branches.
The weather may lead to longer journey times or cancellations as road, rail, air and ferry services are affected across England and Wales.
There is even the possibility of power cuts and mobile phone outages.
A spokesman said: "During Sunday there is the potential for a deep area of low pressure to develop and track over the UK bringing a spell of very strong winds and heavy rain.
"At this stage developments are very uncertain but there is a small chance of disruptive winds developing with parts of England and Wales currently looking most at risk.
"Any strong winds should gradually clear eastwards early on Monday with more settled conditions looking likely to follow next week."

Well I’ve finished them and I’m really happy with the way they turned out. To stuff the mat I used some polyester batting. A while back I was sent some in error and allowed to keep it for my trouble. I took the roll out of the pack and fortuitously the width of the roll was perfect to fit in the mat. I measured twice the length of the mat and then doubled the batting over. It works brilliantly.
It’s much easier to use the stool now with the mat underneath protecting my knees and ankles. The muted, slightly faded colours, fit in with the decor of my meditation room much better than that vibrant purple! The linen is so soft, having been washed hundreds of times, that the mat is really nice to kneel on.
Want to take a look? Here they are:
Here’s another photo showing the detail of the embellishment I did on the seat of the stool.

Microbiological and parasitological monitoring in the lettuce production chain of family farming
AbstractLettuce is a vegetable consumed raw and can be a vehicle for diseases caused by microrganisms and parasites. The objective of this work was to carry out microbiological and parasitological monitoring in the production chain of lettuce, determining the main points of contamination during cultivation, harvest and handling. Microbiological analyses were performed on samples of organic compost, irrigation water, waste water from the wash tank, water that supplies the wash tank, lettuce, lanyard hands, surfaces of the wash tank and harvest box, during six production cycles. Parasite analyzes were performed on organic compost, water samples and lettuce. The irrigation water proved to be of excellent quality. The organic compost used for fertilization did not meet the microbiological limits established by current legislation and all samples presented Entamoeba spp cysts. E.coli was detected in the hand of the harvester (3rd cycle), in the harvest box (5th cycle) and in the samples of residual water from the pre-wash and water that supplies the pre-wash tank. The contamination points detected were not directly related to the contamination of the harvested lettuce. Of the lettuce samples analyzed, only 3% showed unacceptable quality according to current legislation.

County lawmakers fail to pass law raising age for tobacco purchases: Letter
It’s indisputable Tobacco products have been proven to be a major contributor to heart disease, stroke, lung cancer and a host of other nicotine-related maladies. Medical research reveals that consumption of tobacco products has proven to be deadlier than both illegal drug and alcohol related fatalities combined. Equally alarming is that because of second-hand smoke many persons – especially young children – are unknowingly exposed to the same deadly risk factors as smokers.
At the request of Dutchess County’s Board of Health, and similar to legislation enacted by numerous other New York counties, I recently introduced a tobacco law raising the age for sale of nicotine products from 18 to 21. But inexplicably, a majority of the Dutchess Legislature’s Government Services & Administration Committee (GSA) refused to allow the full Legislature an opportunity to vote on the regulations. Although outnumbered by other GSA members, to their credit Dutchess Legislators Hannah Black, Dale Borchert and Giancarlo Llaverias acted admirably in favoring the proposed law.
However, helping to undermine the tobacco law, Legislative Majority Leader Ken Roman argued that the proposed legislation “restricts people’s freedom.” Yet, in New York and numerous other states, alcohol cannot be legally sold to anyone under 21 years old. And don’t highway speed limits and traffic lights also control the way we can drive?
So although some government regulations do limit personal freedom, they are essential and reasonable when such boundaries help safeguard both the individual and the common interest. Sadly, the tobacco law that Roman helped defeat will eventually result in a serious blow to public health.

In its sometime role as a broadsheet hybrid of Us magazine and the New England Journal of Medicine, we have an update tonight from The Wall Street Journal on the condition of everyone's favorite iCEO. Steve Jobs, according to the story (subscription required on the web, free to read on your iPhone), is recovered from his health crisis and on track to return by the end of June. While some speculate that he might choose to surprise the audience at WWDC with a One More Thing moment, two sources for the WSJ story say that the plan is to wait a bit longer.
Steve's return is likely to be coordinated with a product launch or other public event later in June, say the sources. That event probably won't be the announcement of the next-gen iPhone, which the paper pinpoints for the keynote address on Monday with availability close to the two-year anniversary date for the original iPhone purchasers (pretty sensible; anyone who bought a first-gen for the premium price is a likely candidate to shell out for a replacement). The WSJ cites someone who has seen the new phone in person, reporting a faster processor and the expected video editing capabilities.
Equally importantly, the story points out that the long Steveless months with Tim Cook at the helm have shown investors and customers that the Apple train is still on track. AAPL is up 68% since Steve announced his leave of absence in January, vs. a 24% uptick for the NASDAQ index. Granted, Apple stock took a bit of a hit around the announcement of the leave, dipping to a low of 78.20 on 1/20, but it's up at 143.74 as of today's close.

Paddle plants (Kalanchoe thyrsiflora) are a beautiful addition to any home. They’re easy to care for and come in dark green. However, sometimes they can start to droop for no apparent reason.
The main reasons why your paddle plant is droopy include overwatering, underwatering, too much sun, insufficient light, poor drainage, overfertilization, humidity issues, pests, stem damage, and diseases.
Read on as we take a closer look at some of the main reasons why paddle plants become droopy. The article will also share useful remedies to counter the issue. Let’s get started.
Paddle plants are native to arid regions, so they’re used to getting by on very little water.
If you give these plants too much water, the roots can become overwhelmed, drown, and begin to rot.
This prevents the plant from taking up the nutrients it needs to grow, which makes it weak and sickly. In some cases, overwatering can even kill a plant.
So, how can you tell if you’re overwatering your plant?
Well, the best method is inspecting the top soil layer. If it looks and feels dry, your plant needs hydration. However, if it still looks and feels wet, you can wait.
Underwatering is a common mistake made by gardeners of all experience levels, but it’s easy to fix. An easy way to determine if your paddle plant isn’t getting enough water is to check the soil. If it looks and feels dry, it likely needs to be watered.
The amount of water your plant needs will depend on pot size and the type of soil you’re using, but as a general rule, you should water until the soil is evenly moist.
Once you’ve evenly watered your paddle plant, you should start to monitor the soil closely over the next few days. If it starts to dry out again, it’s advisable to increase your watering frequency. You can even use a moisture meter to ensure the soil stays moist.
3. Insufficient Light
When paddle plants droop, it could be because they’re not receiving enough light. If you suspect this is the case, try moving your plant to a sunnier spot. Paddle plants thrive in bright, indirect light, so a spot near a south-facing window should be perfect.
When grown indoors, they need bright light but should be shielded from direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. If your paddle plant is not getting enough light, it will also start to stretch out (known as etiolation) to reach the sun.
Etiolation usually makes the plant leggy and weak, which is often a sign that it is not getting enough light. To fix the problem, simply move your plant to a brighter location. If possible, place it near a window with bright but indirect sunlight. With proper care, your paddle plant should soon perk up.
4. Too Much Sun
If your paddle plant looks droopy, it’s likely getting too much sunlight. Paddle plants need bright light to grow, but if they’re getting direct sunlight for more than six hours a day, that can be too much.
Also, during the winter, your paddle plant probably didn’t get much sunlight. So, when you moved it outside for the summer, it was probably a shock to its system.
The plant leaves will start to turn yellow and brown, and the plant will start to droop. If this happens, move your plant to a spot that gets less sun. The paddle plant will probably recover within a few days.
5. Poor Drainage
Poor drainage might be to blame for the droopiness of your paddle plants. These plants need plenty of moisture to stay healthy. However, they also require well-aerated soil that drains quickly.
If your paddle plant’s roots are always immersed in waterlogged soil, there’s a good chance that root rot will develop, which often results in wilting. To improve drainage, mix some sand or perlite into the potting mix.
You can also make sure that the pot has drainage holes and use a bowl or saucer underneath to catch any water that flows out. Be sure to water the plant deeply but infrequently, letting the soil dry out somewhat between watering.
You can raise the pot on blocks or stones to promote airflow around the roots. With a little care and attention to detail, you can get your paddle plant to look green and vibrant again.
6. Insufficient Humidity
Your paddle plant is looking a little droopy, and you’re wondering if it’s because of the low humidity in your home. The lack of moisture in the air may be causing your plant to dry out, but there are a few other things that could be to blame.
Perhaps you’re watering your plant too much or not enough. Or, it could be that the light levels in your home are too high or low. All of these factors can affect a plant’s health, so it’s important to pay close attention to how your plants are doing and make changes as needed.
If you suspect that the low humidity is causing your paddle plant to droop, you can do a few things to increase the moisture in the air.
A humidifier is a highly effective way to increase moisture content in the air around your paddle plant. You can also fill a plant pot tray with water, fill it with stones, and then place the plant on top. Alternatively, gently water it with a spray bottle. Your paddle plant will respond to the increased humidity levels by perking up in a couple of days.
7. Over Fertilizing
Overfertilizing your paddle plant often leads to droopy leaves. When you fertilize your plant, you’re giving it a boost of nutrients it needs to process. As a result, an excess of nutrients can cause the plant to go into overdrive, leading to dehydration and droopy leaves.
If you think you may have overfertilized your plant, flush your potting mix with water to help leach out some of the excess nutrients.
Once you’ve done this, resume watering and fertilizing your plant according to the recommended schedule. With a little care, your plant will soon bounce back.
Your paddle plant may be droopy because it has mealybugs. These are tiny wingless insects that enjoy feeding on the leaves and stems. They cluster on stems and leaves and secrete a waxy substance that covers their bodies to protect them from insecticides.
Mealybugs can cause yellowing and wilting of leaves, stunted growth, and even death of plants. To get rid of mealybugs, gently wipe them off with a damp cloth or brush.
You can also use an alcohol-based solution, such as rubbing alcohol, neem oil, or horticultural oil. Be sure to follow the label directions carefully when using any of these products.
Another common culprit of droopiness in paddle plants is spider mites. These tiny pests thrive in dry conditions and can quickly infest a paddle plant. If you suspect that spider mites are the problem, take a close look at the undersides of the leaves. You likely have an infestation if you see tiny webbing, sticky residue, or specks of dirt.
To eliminate spider mites, start by misting the leaves with water. This will knock them off the plant and make it harder for them to survive. Alternatively, apply some pyrethrin or neem oil to the affected areas. This is a natural yet effective method of removing plant pests.
If neither of these methods works, then you may need to use a chemical insecticide.
9. Stem Damage
Stem damage is the paddle plant’s number one enemy. If your plant looks droopy, it’s likely because the stem has been damaged. The stem is responsible for carrying water and nutrients to the leaves, so the plant can’t function properly when damaged.
A few things can cause stem damage:
- An aphid, stem borer, or another pest infestation
- Root rot
- Physical injuries
To fix the problem, you need to identify the cause and then take steps to correct it. Once the stem is repaired, your plant should start to look better.
The presence of diseases can also lead to the drooping of paddle plant leaves. Several diseases make paddle plants droopy, including root rot, stem rot, and powdery mildew.
Root rot, as mentioned earlier, is caused by excessive water that damages the roots and negatively affects the uptake of water.
Stem rot is caused by bacteria or fungi that enter through wounds in the stems. On the other hand, powdery mildew is caused by a fungus that affects the leaves. A telltale sign of powdery mildew is the fine, lightly-colored powder it leaves behind.
These diseases can be difficult to treat, so it’s important to take preventive measures.
Another disease that can affect paddle plants is leaf spot. Leaf spot is caused by fungi or bacteria that grow on the leaves, causing them to turn brown or black.
If your plant has either of these diseases, it’s important to take action immediately. Otherwise, the plant will continue to decline and eventually die.
Make sure your paddle plant has well-drained soil, and water it only when the soil is dry. Avoid wounding the stems, and keep an eye out for powdery mildew. If you see any signs of disease, contact a plant doctor for treatment options.

OK so I'm going to make a bunch of assumptions here just to get us an idea. So it looks like a 0.25* movement in the stop on rear of the knuckle the inside tire is going to get you ~1.9* more steering angle on that side.

Leading Chiropractic Practice In Smyrna
The East West Spine and Rehab Clinic in Smyrna is one of the top chiropractic practices in the area. We offer a full selection of treatment methods so that we may treat patients with many different conditions. One of the conditions that we treat is plantar fasciitis. Many chiropractic offices cannot treat this painful condition, but we have multiple treatment methods for people looking for plantar fasciitis pain relief. Read on to learn more about our plantar fasciitis treatment.
What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is a painful and common condition, but many people don't know what it is. In fact, some people who are suffering from plantar fasciitis themselves may not be familiar with their own condition. Plantar fasciitis is caused by the soft tissue in your feet tearing apart. This often happens to people who exercise frequently, especially if they routinely run for long distances. This condition can be extremely painful. Unfortunately, many people who visit a physician for their plantar fasciitis will simply be told that they must rest and wait for the condition to heal. We offer treatments that can speed the healing process.
Treatments For Plantar Fasciitis Pain Relief
We offer multiple treatment methods that may effectively speed healing and provide pain relief to people who are suffering from plantar fasciitis. One of these methods is called cold laser therapy. This treatment involves a specially engineered laser being shone on the bottom of your foot for several minutes at a time. The laser device is completely safe. Cold laser therapy has been shown to speed healing, which also means that you will suffer less pain. The other treatment method that we use for plantar fasciitis is ultrasound. The ultrasound machine we use applies sonic waves to soft tissue in order to speed the healing process.

- Some of the realest kid characters I've ever read in a novel, with dialogue that exactly captures the way kids can switch from snarkiness to sensitivity in a turn.
- With that, a terrific sense of humor and jokes that made me laugh out loud more than once.
- A 12-year-old heroine -- Dahlia Sherman -- who loves performance magic and math more than popularity and fashion, and who holds herself a little apart from her peers in part because of that lack of shared interests, and in part because she fears their rejection. (This was probably my real point of identification with the book, I do confess it.)
- A totally original combination of elements: A contemporary Jewish summer camp story set in Pennsylvania and starring Dahlia, crossed with a story about a yeshiva student named David in the Lower East Side of New York City in the 1930s, both shot through with fantasy and mystery.
- This completely lives up to the definition of "new" I offered a couple weeks ago.

What novels were the biggest influence on you when you were a young reader (ages 8-18)? As a middle-grade reader I loved the Susan Cooper ‘The Dark is Rising’ series, especially the novel The Dark Os Rising. I also loved the book The Silver Crown, and (as I got older) pretty much any high fantasy I could get my hands on, starting with The Lord of the Rings trilogy and ending with ... whatever the latest high fantasy was. As a slightly older teen reader I discovered Steven Brust and Roger Zelazny – especially loving Brust’s To Reign In Hell and Zelazny’s Lord of Light. Which, now that I think about it, were both pretty centrally concerned with magic and religion, albeit in a totally different way than The Path of Names.
There are so many interesting ideas packed into this book -- summer camp, Kabbala, magic (real-world and fantasy), mazes, Lower East Side history. . . . Where did it start for you? How did these other elements develop in it? I think it started with a summer camp story, and evolved from there. Once I decided to set the story in a Jewish summer camp, I thought, “Hmm. Jewish summer camp – Jewish magic. That seems to make sense.”
Then, once I started thinking about Jewish magic, that naturally led to Kabbala and the rest. I’ve always been interested in the somewhat forgotten elements of Jewish folklore. I was raised as a conservative Jew where the party line was, ‘We don’t believe in magic. Or the afterlife. Or demons. Or witches...’ I was a young adult before I started to come across references to all the Jewish superstitions that saturated the Jewish world for centuries before the Enlightenment.
Described in that way, it might make me seem a little smarter than I am. Here is the way it actually worked: I’d be in synagogue for a cousin’s bar mitzvah or such, and there’d be a mention of an anecdote in the Talmud about a rabbi hurling lightning at another rabbi. The lesson would supposedly be something about tolerance or arrogance. But I would sit there thinking, ‘A rabbi hurling lightning? That is so cool! I would love to read a fantasy story about that.’
As far as the parts set in the Lower East Side, my grandfather grew up in the 1930s Lower East Side, and I always loved the stories that he and my great uncles would tell about their boyhoods in the tenements. When I was older I discovered that he had visited the spot in rural Pennsylvania which ultimately became my summer camp some fifty years before I was a camper there. I loved the thought of somehow combining those two milieus.
The fantasy magic in the book is based in what I understand to be a very esoteric Jewish religious practice – the Kabbala – but the book isn’t religious at all. Dahlia and the other kids spend very little time contemplating God. You also have a provocative epigraph where you quote Bernie Cloud: “Religion is just magic, but with more words.” How do your own relationships with religion and magic emerge in The Path of Names? I think I very much share the ambivalence towards Judaism (and organized religion in general) that is evidenced in The Path of Names. It was fun to write a story where all the Jewish magic works. The world would be so much simpler if you could verify religious belief systems with some sort of physical manifestation ... say, calling down lightning on your enemies. Religion aside, I find magic and the supernatural creeps into most everything I write. I’m not totally sure why this is. Like I mentioned before, I’ve always been an avid reader of fantasy literature. Maybe it comes from my general interest in ideas of power and resistance, especially when they’re operating in ways that are secret, or at least hard to see. I have this sense (which I think is pretty broadly shared in contemporary society) that power is increasingly concentrated in the hands of the few in ways that are hard for the rest of us to see, let alone to resist. Also -- let’s face it -- magic is fun. It would be fun to be a thirteen-year-old with the power to change things, even if the odds seemed stacked against you.

Small Businesses: program approved
(July 7) Local small businesses and restaurants suffering financial losses due to COVID-19 can now apply for a grant from the County of San Diego.
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved a new Small Business Stimulus Program Tuesday during a board meeting that also included a report on the behavioral health aspects of COVID-19.
Small Business Stimulus Program
For-profit and nonprofit businesses can apply for grant money if they can show losses and costs are a direct result of the pandemic.
To qualify, businesses must have:
- 100 or fewer employees
- Headquarters in San Diego County
- A minimum 1-year operating history as of Feb. 14, 2020
- Documentation of financial hardship because of COVID-19
Board supervisors had approved using $17 million in CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund funds in May to help restaurants and small businesses. Tuesday, the supervisors approved the implementation of the program.
Businesses are urged to apply early. Applications are available now through Oct. 16 – subject to available funding.
San Diego County Public Health Officer Wilma Wooten updated the Board on the COVID-19 situation in the County. Due to the region’s high number of COVID-19 cases, the County is now on the State’s Watch List for at least three weeks. As of midnight last night, San Diego County was required to close indoor activities at:
- Restaurants and bars
- Wineries and tasting rooms
- Zoos and museums
- Movie theaters
- Family entertainment centers
EDITOR’S NOTE: Many outdoor business activities are still allowed and encouraged by local governments including expansion into parking lots and sidewalks to increase capacity: see http://www.scrippsranchnews.com/news/fullstory.php?ID=2218)
County costs for the COVID-19 outbreak were $130 million for the fiscal year that ended June 30. The County is now eligible for $53.7 million in additional federal CARES Act money through the state.
The Board asked staff to prepare proposals on how the money could be spent on COVID-related issues such as childcare, testing for schools, food services and testing at the border. The report is expected to be reviewed at the Aug. 4 meeting.
Community Setting Outbreaks:
- Five new outbreaks were reported July 6. Two were at restaurant/bars and there was one each at a restaurant, a business and a grocery store.
- In the past seven days, 22 community setting outbreaks were identified.
- The number of new community setting outbreaks is above the trigger of seven in seven days.
- A community setting outbreak is defined as three or more COVID-19 cases in a setting and in people of different households.
- 5,530 tests were reported to the County July 6 and 10% were positive new cases.
- The 14-day rolling average percentage of positive tests is 5.9%.
- The 7-day daily average of tests is 7,465.
- 578 new cases were reported July 6 in San Diego County for a total of 17,578.
- 1,923 or 10.9% of cases have required hospitalization.
- 517 or 9% of all cases and 26.9% of hospitalized cases had to be admitted to an intensive care unit.
- 12 COVID-19 deaths were reported bringing the region’s total to 399.
- Five women and seven men died. Their ages ranged from late 40s to early 90s.
- All but one had underlying medical conditions.
- COVID-19 behavioral health
Behavioral health experts across the country are monitoring the effects of the COVID-19 health crisis and accompanying economic slowdown, especially the rates of suicide and drug overdose deaths.
- Nationwide, surveys show a 200% increase in psychological distress compared to a comparable period last year due to COVID-19.
- Locally, the County of San Diego is reviewing statistics on the psychological impacts of COVID-19.
- “The data, rigorously collected and reviewed by our County Medical Examiner, are clear: suicide rates are static, and if anything, are trending downward,” said Luke Bergmann, Behavioral Health Services Director. “This doesn’t mean that we won’t see that trendline change. Suicide rates almost always increase with bad economic times; we will have to remain vigilant about suicide risk.”
- Data shows the trend in accidental drug overdose deaths is going up. Bergmann says there was a 40% reduction in the use of the substance use disorder treatment system.

Kings XI Punjab batsman Glenn Maxwell speaks with his teammates during a training session.
An underwhelming Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) will fancy their chances of remaining afloat with a victory over favourites Mumbai Indians (MI) in their second match of Sunday’s double-header at the Indian Premier League (IPL) in Dubai.
Mumbai are in a clinical form from the beginning of the tournament. They have procured 12 points from eight matches with six wins and just two losses and one of them going into the Super Over.
Both Mumbai’s batsmen and bowlers have been in astounding forms and delivered whenever needed. Mumbai’s pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and James Pattinson have been instrumental in their winning run at the tournament.
Zaheer Khan, director of cricket operations at Mumbai, expressed his satisfaction with the performance of the team.
“We have a great cricketing rhythm going at the moment. And that is something which is very important for us to continue with. So staying in the right zone is something everyone is keen on,” said Zaheer.
“And that is what as a group we are going to encourage going forward. For us it is very important to set the tone nicely and that is what Boult has been doing.
“He has been swinging the ball and we have been putting the responsibility on Bumrah to do the tough job. We know it is not easy for nay bowler to come late and then have this kind of impact,” added former Indian pace spearhead.
“Bumrah is a match winner and that is a big responsibility. He walks on to the field. And he has been doing that so fantastically. And it is very important for us in the back end of the tournament. That all the bowling unit should click and that is what we have been trying to make sure,” continued Zaheer.
“That is not about the individual thing but as a bowling unit. We should collectively have the same impact and that is what we have been doing so far in the tournament.”
Praising South African batsman Quiton De Kock for his stupendous knock against Kolkata in their last match, the former Indian pacer said: “It is great to see him and the kind of impact he is making on the tournament.
“Actually, that takes the pressure off the middle order. And that is very important. How we are talking about the bowling is equally important for the batting as well.
“The opening partnership between Rohit and De Kock more times than not have the kind of impact which set the tone for the middle order to go out there and impose themselves on the bowlers,” concluded Zaheer.
On the other hand, Punjab are at the bottom of the standings with just four points. Every game is a must-win match for them to stay alive in the tournament. They have been bolstered by the return of Chris Gayle.
The swashbuckling West Indian batsman had his impact on the match as shared 90-run stand with KL Rahul before Punjab survived a last over scare to end their five-game skid against Bangalore.
Meanwhile, in the other match of the day, Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Kolkata. Both the teams are coming into the match on the back of defeats.
Kolkata have lost their last two consecutive matches against Mumbai and Bangalore respectively. On the both the occasions, they have been let down by their batsmen. Their whole batting revolves around Shubman Gill and Eoin Morgan.
An out of form Dinesh Karthik conceded captaincy to Morgan after going through a bad patch in the first-half of the tournament. With the change in leadership, Kolkata will hope for a turnaround in their fortune as well.
Kolkata are at the fourth spot with eight points while Hyderabad are pressing hard on their tail with six points. Hyderabad will look to claw their way back into the top four to boost their hopes of semi-finals.
The world's richest cricket league will be played outside India for the third time after being held in South Africa in 2009 and the UAE in 2014 because it clashed with the national elections.
The IPL action will shift to Sharjah on Tuesday, 22nd September where Rajasthan Royals will host Chennai Super Kings.
To win the targeted trophy, a team must feature in the top four of the IPL 2021 points table.
Kagiso Rabada bowled a captivating spell after Marcus Stoinis smacked a blitzkrieg 26-ball 53 as Delhi Capitals (DC) trounced Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by 59 runs in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Monday.
This race was part of the sports and cultural activities organised by the Embassy in preparation for the UAE hosting the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(COP28), which will take place at Expo City Dubai from 30th November to 12th December, 2023.
Babar took to his social media account and wrote, “Overwhelmed with the love and support here in Hyderabad.” Shaheen Shah Afridi also lauded the Indians for their warm reception for the Pakistani cricketers.
The camp, organised by The Flying DAF Squash Academy with the support of Dubai Sports Council and the UAE Squash Association, was divided into two phases at the J-Club, at Jumeirah Beach Hotel, with the objective of positioning Dubai as a global base for the sport.

The Grammys have a unique history of unlikely onstage pairing. Since they don't actually give out that many awards during the show, the Grammys try to entice viewers with a slew of performances, many of which are bizarre. It's been announced that this weekend's show will feature Beck with Christ Martin; a group performance by Ed Sheeran, Herbie Hancock, John Mayer, and Questlove, for some reason; and Annie Lennox and Hozier are set to duet. In honor of this weirdness, here are the 10 most unexpected onstage pairings in Grammy history. (Honorable mention goes to the Beach Boys joined by Maroon 5, who just missed the cut.)
Eminem + Elton John (2001)
In what was apparently an effort to seem less homophobic, Eminem invited Elton John to collaborate on a performance of his single "Stan." The effect was actually fairly successful, although it didn't erase the rapper's history of anti-gay lyrics.
Foo Fighters + Deadmau5 (2011)
This was the year EDM broke in the mainstream and the Grammys tried to celebrate that by forcing Dave Grohl and co. to join forces with DJ Deadmau5. And they made them do it in a tent that was erected outside the actual Grammys venue for a crowd brought in specifically for the performance. The best part? Earlier in the night, Grohl accepted Best Rock Album by saying that "the human element of music is what's important," adding that he doesn't appreciate music that's made "in a computer." Burn.
Jonas Brothers + Stevie Wonder (2009)
Disney teen heartthrobs the Jonas Brothers and musical legend Stevie Wonder came together for some reason in 2009 to perform a duet of "Superstition." It was largely regarded as a trainwreck and included some very clumsy playing from the JoBros. Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus said it best when he took the Grammys stage later that evening: "Isn't it great to see the Jonas Brothers and Stevie Wonder back together again?"
Gorillaz + Madonna + De La Soul (2006)
Madonna seems beyond human, so it actually kind of makes sense that she would pair up with cartoon band Gorillaz, who performed at the 2006 Grammys as 3-D holograms. At first it was a hologram of Madge herself being featured as well as De La Soul, but the real singer appeared moments later. The music only sort of meshed up since Madonna's flamboyant pop feels a bit forced alongside the deadpan Damon Albarn-led Gorillaz tracks.
Paul McCartney + Jay Z + Linkin Park (2006)
As we've recently learned, Paul McCartney is very open to collaboration. So it shouldn't be weird that he joined up with Linkin Park and Jay Z to perform "Numb/Encore," a mashup track from the rapper and the rock band. It was weird, especially as McCartney and Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington sang the Beatles' "Yesterday." Is nothing sacred to you, Grammys?
Gwyneth Paltrow + Cee Lo Green + The Muppets (2011)
Gwyneth Paltrow likes to remind the world that she can sing every few years, so in 2011 she somehow got herself involved in a performance of Cee Lo Green's hit single "Forget You." And Green's wild, feathered ensemble wasn't the craziest part. He also enlisted the Muppets, like the actual Muppets, to "play" instruments and sing backup. At least that part was fun.
Taylor Swift + Stevie Nicks (2010)
Two blonde pop singers together onstage—what could go wrong? A lot, actually. The Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks duet was undeniably awkward. Later, Swift's label blamed off-key vocals on a problem with the earpiece she was wearing and the singer apparently wrote the song "Mean" about all the backlash she received for being so out of tune.
Radiohead + USC Marching Band (2009)
It would never work to have Radiohead collaborate with someone traditional, or anyone with too much celebrity clout. So in 2009, the indie band brought the USC marching band onstage for "15 Step" off In Rainbows. It was bizarre and it worked, which should be a reminder to the Grammys that you shouldn't just put famous people's names into a hat and then pull a bunch out when setting the show's lineup.
Melissa Etheridge + Joss Stone (2005)
Melissa Etheridge and Joss Stone aren't immediately interlinked, but it turns out that the duo was perfect for a tribute to Janis Joplin back in 2005. At the time Stone was fairly new and Etheridge had recently overcome breast cancer, which made the performance feel even more triumphant. It was proof that sometimes—and only sometimes—strange collaborations can yield interesting and emotionally compelling results.
Kendrick Lamar + Imagine Dragons (2014)
If you combine a really cool thing with a really lame thing you can't automatically assume cool will trump lame. But as it turns out, Kendrick Lamar's collaboration with radio rockers Imagine Dragons last year wasn't terrible. In fact, it was sort of interesting, even though we'd rather just see Lamar perform on his own (which can be said for almost every Grammy collaboration ever).

The stables were freezing, the violinist said.
There was no way they would be able to play for an hour and a half, straight through without intermission. Their hands were cold, and even more importantly, their period string instruments were strung with gut to do justice to the Baroque music.
The steel or nylon wires, she said, would not have been impacted at all by the temperature, but the gut strings would have to be re-tuned every twenty minutes or so.
How this was going to be possible, it simply was not clear.
Plus, how were they expected to wear concert attire? I listened carefully and nodded. I am not string musician, but her concerns made sense to me. I too am always freddina – freezing. That condition, thankfully, is coming to a conclusion soon here in Florence.
The quartet was lodged downstairs in the palazzo, in the basso mezzanino, which I had never seen before, but looks every inch a set for a period film by Merchant and Ivory. Two bedrooms look out from large windows onto the capacious and blooming garden behind the palazzo, with rows of small frescoed barrel vaults for ceilings. The furniture is nineteenth century, with tiny desks and chairs and metal beds. They were there for the week for rehearsals for a festival production of Gluck’s “Orfeo ed Euridice,” to be performed in the stables of the Palazzo Corsini by a young cast, with a forward-thinking director and producer.
I am friends with the producer, Sophie; she was also singing Euridice. She works with the choir at St. James, and as is often my way, I had fallen into conversations with her about ground logistics and creative solutions, given their performance dates in different cities and needs. That is how the quartet came to stay for a week at the palazzo we call home.
We had tickets to attend the performance on Thursday, and were going with Claudio and Francesca, who are our landlords, neighbors, and friends. I was glad they were accompanying us because I had no idea where the Palazzo Corsini was, and plus, Claudio had offered to drive us all. Francesca knows the Corsini family, and asked me what the address was for the performance.
“It’s in the Palazzo Corsini!” I said brightly.
“Yes, I know, dear,” she replied patiently. “What number? I don’t even know how many numbers that palazzo has, between their doors and the gardens.”
I looked up the palazzo on my phone, but the street it gave wasn’t even right.
Francesca went back upstairs to get the poster the quartet had dropped off for her before they left.
“I know where it is,” she said, “it’s the scuderie (stables) address.”
We headed downstairs to the piazza where Claudio was waiting for us with the car.
Driving from one location in centro ZTL (zona traffico limitata) to another is a bit like space travel – you must go out to a ring road to come back in, so a trip that would take me 10-15 minutes on a bike will easily take 30-45 in a car. Plus some swearing and dry gargling.
Claudio, however, as an unflappable Italian gentleman, gamely remained calm throughout the navigation, his beret jauntily perched atop his head as he manned the wheel of the tiny town car, telling Jason with a laugh on Liberta, “I am never quite sure which was to go here,” and, later, backing the car out of a wrong turn he’d taken at the snake of an intersection currently strangling the main train station. I was plenty impressed with his aplomb.
We parked in a space that looked to me like it might have just barely fit a crate of clementines, and walked around to the palazzo. In front of the Hotel Medici, Francesca lamented the large paved apron in front of the hotel, saying, “There used to be the most beautiful fruit trees here.” As far as I can tell, about 35 years ago someone who hated mature, urban fruit trees, such as used to crowd around many properties in Florence, began to rip them all out, and did not stop until they were almost all gone.
We arrived at the Corsini stables and walked in, through a huge door, then past car after vintage car that seemed ready for a period drama like “Downton Abbey.” I am no car buff by any stretch, but these old Fiats and Aston Martins were gleaming. Claudio and Francesca had been to exhibits in the scuderie before, and were pleased to return. We checked in at will-call and wedged our way into the small crowd that was waiting to enter. It was a festive group, but I couldn’t move. The venue was intimate indeed. Francesca immediately began to spy a few of her friends, and slipped through the packed people to exchange buona seras. Jason and I stood around and watched a cluster of girls on an ancient settee devour a giant bowl of popcorn.
Soon a petite older woman with a booming voice came through.
“Georgiana!” Francesca brightened. “It’s Signora Corsini. Let me introduce you to her.”
Signora Corsini was all business, and leaned in to hear my name, and Jason’s, while Francesca generously introduced as their friends and affiliates of Gonzaga, as opposed to the rambunctious tenant family in their grand palazzo on the opposite side of town.
Signora Corsini asked me if I had had any refreshment yet.
I said no, I couldn’t get to it, gesturing to the packed bunch of people.
She looked shocked. “Of course you can arrive at the refreshment! You must! Allow me.”
She parted the crowd with a deep, “Permesso! Permesso, signori!”
At a back table I had been unable to see stood two huge urns, one of mulled wine, the other of a concoction I understood to be a combination of beef broth (?), Red Bull (??), and, possibly, vodka (!?!). I do not know which observation alarmed me more: the possibility of such a drink, or the sad state of my Italian comprehension.
Unable to clarify the contents of this second urn in the roaring, tiny space, I said, “I would like the Gluhwein.”
“Err, the vin brulee.”
“Il vino,” I said, pointing.
Signora Corsini dispensed a small cup of the steaming wine and handed it to me. “E lui?”
Jason politely declined.
The doors to the stable swung wide, and Georgiana invited “people of a certain age” to come first. Francesca looked at me and shrugged. “Of course, we’re just going in.” I followed her lead and we quickly found chairs. Jason had a standing post in the horse stall behind us, and neighed good humoredly. I saw a number of people I knew from St. James on this, the last night of the production, concluding their Italian tour. I noted a small group of women who seemed like they knew the place, and who all looked like each other, and assumed they must be the Corsini sisters. The daughter of one of them, aged about ten, had an enormous bowl of popcorn, and was sitting on the floor eating it with such gusto that bits and pieces were flying onto the rugs covering the stones, and dropping all over her sweater, adding a touch of farcical Wes Anderson to the whole scene.
|Povere Euridice. Will she come back to life?
Spoiler alert: in the Baroque version, YES.
There were maybe a hundred people total in the audience, tops. The orchestra was at the far end of the stable, under a handsome ston
e statue of San Eligio, patron saint of horses and their caretakers, and under that, a smaller statue of the Virgin. The sound in the space was optimal, for the stables were a bit like a stone chapel, and filled with the music as the orchestra began to play. The Corsini were a historically well-placed family indeed as I counted sixteen stalls in our space, all bordered by stone columns. It looked like a horse chapel.
|Orfeo baragining successfully with Amor to restore to life his beloved Euridice|
The quartet did have to pause periodically to re-tune their strings of gut, I noticed, but they did it so quickly as to be almost unnoticeable, and in any case the handsome cast was a transparent distraction. Gluck, as a Baroque composer, had the resource of castrati countertenors at hand, but in this opera, Orfeo was sung by a beautiful, tall woman, whose face was scrubbed clean, her hair wound back in a tight braid. It took me a while to figure out she was Orfeo. I mistakenly thought at first she was the shadow Euridice – perhaps a dream Euridice – in any case, I worked it out, and the singing was beautiful, as the chorus and soloists were inches from us at full volume.
The costumes were amusingly tongue-in-cheek – Amor was an Elvis impersonator, Orfeo an RAF pilot, Euridice’s skirt and bodice looked like they came from last year’s Feria Sevillana, castanet-ready. Moving forward, I would love all live entertainment to be that close to me; it is so much more striking than watching an opera on stage form a box, and everything looking like an animated postage stamp.
|Euridice and Orfeo are reunited!|
The young girl continued to eat the popcorn with her mother and aunties. I tried to avoid direct eye contact with the singers so as not to fluster them. Since this production was an adaptation, and not the entire work, it was about an hour and a half in length, but none the less for it. (Good news for Jason in the horse stall.)
|Oats and opera, anyone?|
The finale finished to much shouting of brava, bravo, bravi. The conductor thanked everyone for coming, and outlined the next festival productions scheduled in the gardens of the Corsini for late August and early September.
“Che meraviglia!” a Corsini sister breathed from a stall across the aisle.
We finally squeezed out of the stables back into the entry corridor where all the vintage cars silently gleamed. In the warm evening, Francesca outlined for me the many talents and accomplishments of Georgiana, clearly a woman of much fuoco e spirito.
Driving home, Jason and Claudio debated the Gluck revision of the Orfeo and Euridice myth, agreeing at the end that Gluck was under pressure from his patrons in the royal court to make an ending more piacevole (pleasing), since the original plot is a tragedy, as Euridice perishes and Orfeo descends into an eternal grief. We also covered the casting, and the history of castrati, agreeing that the opera would have become vanguard indeed had it been edited to star Orfea and Euridice.
I can’t wait to see their late summer productions of Tchaikovsky, Shakespeare, and Mozart. Perhaps I too might be able to dine in the Corsini gardens with other guests …

As Biden’s staffers look to expand his protective bubble, some want to ban conservatives from press conferences. If more moderate or conservative outlets don’t conform to their rules, they will likely be banned. We know the targets include OANN, Newsmax, Breitbart, Daily Caller, and Fox News.
It was different when Donald Trump was in office. Every presser was a slugfest. If he tried to ban any of the reporters who were clearly out of control, the entire mass media came down on him.
They are going to use COVID to limit access, to begin with, and it may go further. They may say any network that pushes conspiracy theories cannot attend pressers.
Conspiracy theories would include voter integrity, silencing people who support any conservative thought, and basically, anything the Democrats and their media decide is wrong.
In recent days, the correspondents’ association has informed nearly 20 additional outlets that they are being brought into the rotation to cover press briefings. The list includes Bolling’s Sinclair as well as Breitbart, the far-right publication that in recent months focused extensively on alleged fraudulent voting and Trump’s legal campaign to overturn the election.
The election was filled with fraud and Breitbart is not far-right.
These are the two important paragraphs in the article:
White House officials stressed that they won’t take steps to banish pro-Trump voices from the White House. They don’t, for example, anticipate proactively revoking hard passes from journalists who got them under Trump. And they seem keen on not going down the same path the Obama White House did, when it took steps to freeze out Fox, but backed off amid pushback from other networks. But Biden’s aides also promised not to allow outlets to use the briefings to spread baseless conspiracies.
Note, ‘not to allow outlets to use the briefings to spread baseless conspiracies,’ covers articles they write after they leave the presser. That’s very expansive and intrusive on free speech.
“We expect reporters covering the White House to operate in good faith and tell their audience the truth, and this White House will do the same. We are moving forward with that mutual understanding,” said T.J. Ducklo, the deputy White House press secretary. “Organizations or individuals who traffic in conspiracy theories, propaganda, and lies to spread disinformation will not be tolerated, and we’ll work with the WHCA to decide how to handle those instances moving forward.”
What is propaganda to these Stalinist Dems? It’s anything they disagree with.

It doesn't take a snow scientist to realize that Big Wood Basin snowpacks are melting earlier than normal.
Everywhere you look throughout the Wood River Valley these days, hillsides show more brown than white. This is especially true on the warmer south-facing hillsides where snowfree areas extend clear to the top of ridges in many places.
The 2006-2007 winter, which according to the calendar ended Tuesday, March 20, was an especially dry and warm one.
So, where does this leave the Big Wood Basin's overall snowpack compared to the past 30-year average?
As of Thursday morning, the Big Wood Basin snowpack had shrunk to just 64 percent of average. This is down from a 71 percent of average measurement on Jan. 31, after a promising start to the winter during the months of November and December.
The National Resource Conservation District manages 83 snow telemetry sites throughout Idaho, including nine in the Big Wood Basin. The "snotel" sites are basically remote weather stations that provide automated data on precipitation, snow depth and temperature.
The snow-water equivalent, which measures the amount of water in the snowpack, was just 53 percent of average at the Hyndman snotel site—the lowest percentage in the Big Wood Basin—on March 22. The Hyndman site is set at an elevation of 7,440-feet in the Pioneer Mountains, southeast of Ketchum.
The snotel at Galena Summit, set at an elevation of 8,780-feet in the Boulder Mountains northwest of Ketchum, was the highest in the basin at 75 percent of average on March 22. Other snotel sites in the basin include Chocolate Gulch, Galena Lodge, Dollarhide Summit, Camas Creek Divide, Soldier Ranger Station, Vienna Mine, and Lost-Wood Divide.
The Panhandle Region in northern Idaho was the closest to normal on March 22 with a basin-wide measurement of 83 percent of average, although it recorded 91 percent of average on Jan. 31.
The Big Wood Basin's neighbor to the east, the Little Wood Basin, is in even worse condition, with a basin-wide snowpack measurement of just 51 percent of average on March 22, the second lowest in the state. Only the Owyhee Basin in extreme southwest Idaho is worse off, with a paltry 47 percent of average snowpack on March 22.
All this coincides with the pending close to the normally wet winter period, which runs from October 1 through April 1.
Based on National Weather Service predictions, the months of April, May and June look to be something of a mixed bag in terms of temperature and precipitation forecasts.
Forecast maps the agency has released indicate most of Idaho will likely experience above average temperatures during those months. Precipitation forecasts for the same time period are far less clear and indicate equal chances of above or below average rainfall.
"That means it could go either way," explained Idaho Department of Water Resources spokesman Bob McLaughlin on Thursday.

It's right for you if...
You want the performance of carbon in a trail-shredding package. You love the quick handling of 27.5˝ wheels and the plush ride of a long-travel bike, and want a durable parts group and a strong, light OCLV Mountain Carbon frame to handle whatever the trail can dish out.
The tech you get
A lightweight, full OCLV Mountain Carbon frame, a 160 mm RockShox Lyrik Select Plus fork with a plush DebonAir spring and Charger 2 RC damper that gives you more adjustment and control, and 150 mm rear travel with an ultra-responsive RE:aktiv shock. Plus, a mixed SRAM NX and GX 12-speed drivetrain, SRAM Guide R four-piston hydraulic disc brakes for more stopping power, a Bontrager Line Dropper and Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels with a 54-tooth Rapid Drive hub for fast engagement.
The final word
A stiff full carbon frame that's built for rugged riding and gnarly trails, with great suspension and a solid, dependable parts group. It shreds straight out of the box, but it's also the perfect platform for upgrades down the line should you ever want to customise your trail ride.


More than any historical shooter before it, Battlefield 1 is problematic. DICE has chosen to recreate a conflict responsible for harrowing, senseless loss of life, which stands for many as a shining example of the futility of war.
The issue faced by both DICE and EA is thus: how to approach one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century with sensitivity. Battlefield 1 absolutely must not glamorise war under any circumstances. This can be no Band of Brothers; in WW1 boys and men in their millions were sold a lie which got them killed, a lie of camaraderie and adventure which transformed into a four year-long horror.
The answer to this problem, it seems, has been to split the game up into multiple narratives, may of which will, presumably, end in death. No heroic endings, no happy ever afters.
The latest gameplay video which showcases the game's prologue goes one step further by putting players in short skirmishes where they aren't expected to survive. During the 12 minutes of Storm of Steel! The player works through several characters, each of whom are memorialised at the moment of their deaths.
The effect is disturbing, but possibly the only solution to prevent the single player campaign from feeling 'fun' rather than commemorative.
Battlefield 1 treads a fine line: hammer the point too hard and the experience becomes exhausting. Don't hammer it hard enough and run the risk of being disrespectful.
We'll see closer to the October 21 release date whether DICE has walked the tightrope successfully.


ST LOUIS - They were in the same room Thursday night, but Joseph Biden and Sarah Palin often seemed to be participating in separate debates.
One debate dealt with issues. The other served as a platform for Palin's unique brand of Alaskan-bred populism and twangy asides. On the campus of Washington University in St. Louis, the two vice presidential candidates showed off their wildly different styles born of disparate histories. The result was at times an oddly disjointed affair, where the two skittered and shifted off-topic.
With the GOP ticket trailing in national polls, Palin spent most of the time on the attack. She was armed with talking points involving tax increases, domestic drilling for oil, critiques of Democrat Barack Obama's record on the war in Iraq and stinging one-liners. And she repeatedly attempted to steer the debate to allow her to use that ammunition, regardless of the question at hand.
As a result, Biden, the longtime Washington insider, frequently was forced to explain the intricacies of congressional procedure and nuances of international diplomacy, often in a defensive posture.
For Biden, the debate served as much as an introduction to American voters as a test of his mettle. Although the Delaware senator has served in Congress for more than 35 years, he isn't well known nationally. His two attempts to run for president, 20 years apart, were unsuccessful.
His assignment Thursday was simply to maintain the momentum the Obama campaign has been building during the last three weeks. But along with that came a challenge posed by Palin's gender.
He needed to walk a line between respectful and combative -- and avoid coming off as patronizing or condescending. The McCain campaign has made a habit of calling attacks on Palin sexist or elitist.
Palin was not burdened by such concerns and, as befitting her overnight rise from a state politician to a national star, she spent much of the affair showcasing her feisty, salt-of-the-earth personality, employing such phrases as "darn right" and "bless their hearts" and smiling and even winking at the audience. She referred to herself again as a "hockey mom" and said she was talking to "Joe Six-pack."
She said she appreciated the chance to talk to the country without "the filter" of the "mainstream media."
But her folksiness masked a willingness to use a broad brush to attack Obama and Biden, repeatedly suggesting that Obama didn't support the military, saying he sought to make the United States beholden to foreign oil and pushed to increase taxes at every opportunity. Several times, Biden seemed frustrated.
"Facts matter," he said at one point.
She succeeded Thursday in one crucial respect: reestablishing herself as a charismatic, composed performer. The evening had offered a needed opportunity to reverse a growing perception among voters that she lacks the intellectual firepower and experience to be a heartbeat way from the presidency.
Palin's command of the issues had come under heavy fire in the last two weeks, largely because of her interviews with CBS' Katie Couric. Those interviews showed a rambling, sometimes incoherent side of Palin that had not surfaced in pitch-perfect stump speeches crafted by the McCain campaign.
But after Thursday, that question may recede a bit as an election issue, switching again to whether McCain and Palin can present a convincing case that their administration would offer something different than the current one.
And that's where Biden seemed the most commanding. Avoiding directly attacking Palin, he went after McCain again and again: on the economy, branding the Arizona senator as a deregulator who encouraged the current Wall Street crisis; on foreign policy by tying McCain to the war in Iraq; and on health care, where Biden labeled McCain's health care plan, which involves tax credits, "the ultimate Bridge to Nowhere."
