GM finally issued two recalls involving six model vehicles built between 2003 and 2007 for a defective ignition switch problem that has caused 31 accidents and 13 deaths. The massive recall includes over 1.37 million vehicles in the United States and another quarter of a million in Canada and Mexico.
GM first issued a recall of 780,000 Chevy Cobalts 2005-2007 models and 2007 Pontiac G5 models on February 13, 2014 to address the known faulty ignition switch problem.
Then on February 25, 2014, GM recalled an additional 842,000 vehicles including the 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Solstice, as well as the 2003-2007 Saturn Ion and 2007 Saturn Sky. All of the affected vehicles were built with the faulty ignition switch.
The defect in the ignition switch causes the ignition key to move from the “run” position to the “accessory” or “off” position if there is too much weight on a key ring or if the vehicle is jarred while in motion. When this occurs, the engine and electrical power may spontaneously shut off without warning to the vehicle occupants thereby cutting off power to the braking, steering and safety systems in the vehicle, including the front-end airbags. “The cars basically become a 3200 pound, out-of-control, battering ram,” says Greg Bubalo of the law firm of Bubalo Law PLC.
An official repair date has yet to be announced because new parts will need to be made, and then distributed, to GM dealers around North America before the necessary repairs can be made. Repairs may begin in early April, and dealers will replace the ignition switch free of charge to owners. Until then, GM is warning owners of the affected vehicles to remove the weight from their key rings, and have only the ignition key on their key ring until the repairs are made.
Another glaring issue is when GM first knew of the defect. Many are claiming that GM has known about the faulty ignition switch since 2004, and are wondering why it took 10 years to issue a recall. Federal regulations require a car manufacturer to notify the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) within five business days once it learns of a safety problem.
The NHTSA has formally opened an investigation into the recall delay and is demanding GM provide documents, photographs, engineering data and other information to ascertain exactly when GM knew of the ignition switch problems.
Bubalo explains, “GM may be subject to up to a $35 million fine if the NHTSA determines it delayed the recall or withheld information from federal investigators. The amount of the fine is determined by the number of incidents occurring because of the defect, the severity of the injuries, and the total number of vehicles involved in the recall.”
GM admitted it has been “aware” of the problem for 10 years, as it filed a chronology of events with the NHTSA acknowledging problems with the key ignition as early as 2004. GM engineers specifically knew of a problem with the ignition key in the Chevy Cobalt model before its release for sale in 2005. If GM knew the Cobalt was potentially dangerous, why in the world did it take them 10 years, 31 accidents and 13 front-seat fatalities to issue the recall? The answer, to Bubalo, is simple: “Unbridled corporate greed.”
GM even redesigned the ignition switch in 2005 but never implemented the changes. Service bulletins were issued to GM dealers in 2005 and 2006 showing how to fix the problem with a key insert, and recommending dealers advise affected customers to take extra keys off their key rings IF the customer complained of a problem.
By 2007, the chronology reveals GM knew of at least 10 different instances involving the Cobalt where airbags did not deploy in front-end type crashes, but still failed to notify the NHTSA or recall affected vehicles.
GM North American President Alan Batey recently apologized for the 10-year recall delay saying “…the chronology shows that the process employed to examine this phenomenon was not as robust as it should have been.”
Not much consolation for the 13 dead, their families and friends. This case tragically illustrates why car manufacturers need to be held accountable for the vehicles they put in the marketplace, and why it is imperative they timely notify federal investigators of safety problems and immediately recall vehicles affected by safety issues.
It now appears that the cost of 13 lives was a cheaper price to pay than the decision to recall over a million vehicles and repair the fatal problem when it first arose 10 years ago. “Even if GM is fined a record $35 million, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the $3.8 billion it made in 2013 alone,” says Bubalo. The cost-benefit analysis of timely recalls and repairs versus paying on injury and death claims certainly does not tip in favor of consumer safety.

DENVER (KDVR) — Denver Public Schools announced elementary school students in grades 3 – 5 will switch to remote learning on Nov. 2 until the Thanksgiving holiday as the city moves into the Safer at Home Level 3 restrictions on Wednesday.
Students will continue in-person learning until Oct. 30 to have the ability to gather their things and prepare for remote learning. DPS says Early Childhood Education through second grade will continue full-time in-person learning.
“We know that, while all elementary school children benefit from in-person instruction and support, we are concerned that the overall community trend requires us to shift more of our staff and students to remote learning. And we have strengthened our remote-learning systems and support in anticipation of needing to shift away from in-person schooling in response to changing health conditions,” DPS posted on their website.
Secondary schools will remain online for the rest of the semester ending in December. DPS decided not to have middle and high school students return on Oct. 21, as originally planned.
Newcomer Centers, Remote-Learning Support Centers, and Special Education Center programs will continue full-time, in-person learning for all grades through the rest of the first semester, according to DPS.
The Denver Classroom Teachers Association (DCTA) provided a statement regarding the announcement:
Firstly, our hearts go out to the families, students and teachers affected by this virus. And we know that most students learn best in person and support in-person when it can be done safely for our students and teachers. With new data that shows alarming community spread of COVID-19, DCTA supports the DPS decision to move upper elementary levels to remote. However, many of our ECE-2nd grade educators and students remain at an elevated risk due to the rampant community spread of COVID-19. We are concerned for the safety and sustainability of remaining in-person for the lower grades.

Countries in the region that benefit from LIAT’s services have been called upon to invest in the regional airline.
Minister of Tourism and International Transport, Richard Sealy, made this appeal during the welcome ceremony for the arrival of LIAT (1974) Ltd.’s new ATR-72-600 aircraft at the Grantley Adams International Airport yesterday.
“I strongly encourage those who benefit from LIAT’s services to give it the same support which they have for years been putting behind the foreign carriers,” he stressed.
Mr. Sealy outlined that the Government of Barbados, along with its shareholder partners: Antigua and Barbuda, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and recently, Dominica, “are convinced that our investment in this airline, with its faults and all, has proven itself to be the bridge over the Caribbean Sea, without which the [CARICOM] Single Market and Economy could not function”.
The International Transport Minister explained that LIAT’s investment in new aircrafts would cost up to US$100 million over the next two years in equity and debt financing.
“That is a considerable investment,” he declared, adding:?? “The Government of Barbados is the single largest shareholder and the reality is, given the sacrifices that we are asking Barbadians to make at home; the Government and people and taxpayers of Barbados cannot be counted upon to simply ???pony up’ every time LIAT needs assistance.?? We all have to come to the mark.”
Emphasising the importance of LIAT to the regional market, he insisted that Caribbean countries needed to work together to “grow the market even in extremely difficult global and regional economic circumstances.”
Chairman of the Board of Directors of LIAT, Dr. Jean Holder, noted that while the airline business was financially risky the region “could not do without LIAT”.
He explained that the record of losses for regional airline businesses amounted to billions of dollars, and stated: “It is not that we in the Caribbean do not know what we are doing, but I can assure you that airline losses are fairly common on a global basis.”
Dr. Holder pointed out that the survival of LIAT for the last 57 years was a “remarkable achievement” and also urged countries taking advantage of LIAT’s services to invest in the airline.
He charged that the airline was special because “it is the only airline that if it shuts for a week, can bring this region to a complete paralyzed close.?? It is the most essential airline operating in this region.?? Without it, people of this region would be isolated as prisoners in their little islands”.
Reasoning that the terrain of the Caribbean was difficult, since there were 40 islands scattered across one million miles of sea, he indicated that LIAT connects 21 of those lands everyday by providing approximately 120 flights a week.
Dr. Holder argued that investing US$100 million in LIAT was critical to protecting this region since LIAT’s services were vital for socio-economic development.
According to him, LIAT makes it possible for businessmen, students [and] people seeking medical attention to get around this region.?? “If that is a risky investment, I want to be known as the Chief Risk Taker in this region… It is a risk that is worth taking,” he insisted.??
In his address, Chief Executive Officer of LIAT, Captain Ian Bunton stated: “Without this game changing aircraft… LIAT would gradually die.?? We could not continue with the old assets much longer.”??
Noting the money that was invested was “a tremendous hope” for LIAT, he said: “… The airplane is economical.?? But, also, the product offering is so much better than what we have seen in the past.?? It’s quiet, it’s clean [and] it’s non-vibrating…our customers deserve this change.”??

625 F.2d 1141
UNITED STATES of America, Appellee,
John F. HENSLER, Jr. and Charles Batty, Appellants.
United States Court of Appeals,
Argued Feb. 2, 1980.
Decided July 23, 1980.
James K. Jenkins, Atlanta, Ga. (Stroup, Goldstein, Jacobs, Jenkins & Pritzker, Atlanta, Ga., on brief), for appellant John F. Hensler, Jr.
Bruce H. Morris, Atlanta, Ga., (Devine & Morris, Atlanta, Ga., on brief), for appellant Charles Batty.

Before BRYAN, Senior Circuit Judge, and WIDENER and HALL, Circuit Judges.
ALBERT V. BRYAN, Senior Circuit Judge:
Convicted on each of the three counts of a joint indictment1, respectively charging them with a conspiracy to import marijuana, 21 U.S.C. § 963, with the importation thereof, 21 U.S.C. §§ 952(a), 960; 18 U.S.C. § 2, and with the possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, 21 U.S.C. § 841(a) (1); 18 U.S.C. § 2, John F. Hensler and Charles Batty appeal their sentences. Common to, and decisive of, all these accusations is the issue of whether a grounded sailboat's cargo of 21,000 pounds of marijuana had been erroneously allowed in evidence at trial because it had been obtained by a search and seizure violative of the Fourth Amendment.2 With the District Judge, we think not. Though without a warrant, the search and seizure was made under exigent circumstances and was based upon probable cause. Hence, we affirm the convictions.
On the dominant issue, the proof, taken on a motion to suppress, was not in dispute and, as material, it follows. A sailing vessel, the Desiderata D, on August 29, 1977, became stranded upon a sandbar at Murrell's Inlet, a domestic waterway located along South Carolina's seacoast, near Garden City. On the next morning, August 30 18 or 19 hours later she was boarded by three men, John Wayne Strickland, Carson Benton and Bobby Strickland, employed or residing in the vicinity, who had learned of the vessel's presence in the Inlet. They apparently discovered marijuana stowed in the hold. Returning ashore, Benton telephoned the County Police Department and told Detective Johnson, a law enforcement officer of eight years, that he had information concerning marijuana aboard a sailing vessel in the Inlet.
That afternoon Detective Johnson, accompanied by a South Carolina Law Enforcement Department agent, Anderson, met Benton at a Garden City fishing pier. He asked if they could pay him for some information about marijuana; then he told them of the Desiderata D. At the same time, he handed the officers a white paper napkin containing a small amount of marijuana, identified as such by Anderson and Johnson, the latter having worked with marijuana for the last eight years. According to Johnson, Benton told them the boat was "loaded down" with it.
Soon they were joined by County Sheriff Carter and a deputy, along with three Customs Patrol Officers who had previous information of the stuck boat. After circling the site from spot to spot ashore, surveying for the most advantageous approach, they determined, at the Sheriff's insistence, to board her. The boat was reached with a small boat and by wading. Concededly without a search warrant, the Sheriff, the Customs Officers and State and County Officers scaled the deck and there whiffed a strong odor of marijuana, whereupon they broke the lock on one of the hatches and so exposed 21,000 pounds of contraband marijuana. The boat and its contents were then seized; there were no arrests since no one else was seen aboard.
The trial judge, as do we, rested his ruling upon the firmly precedented exception to the exaction of the Fourth Amendment: that exigent circumstances can justify a search and seizure by police authorities without a warrant. When the subject of the search is a movable vehicle, as contrasted with a fixed edifice, such exigency almost inevitably is present.
These cardinal points were early made in Carroll v. U. S., 267 U.S. 132, 45 S.Ct. 280, 69 L.Ed. 543 (1925):
On reason and authority the true rule is that if the search and seizure without a warrant are made upon probable cause, that is, upon a belief, reasonably arising out of circumstances known to the seizing officer, that an automobile or other vehicle contains that which by law is subject to seizure and destruction, the search and seizure are valid.
Id. at 149, 45 S.Ct. at 583-84.
In reviewing the testimony relating to the circumstances of the boarding and taking of the Desiderata D, we consider the evidence in the light most favorable to the Government. With this in mind, we hold the seizure on trial not to have been unreasonable but, rather, to have been upon such probable cause as to justify the boarders' belief that, in the circumstances confronting them as officers of the law, duty demanded their immediate seizure of the vessel.
The Sheriff's and agents' assessment of the situation as exigent becomes manifestly accurate upon allusion to the hazard of the Desiderata D. She had no line ashore, no anchor, indeed no moorings of any sort. Heeling at about 45 degrees with the tide, to all appearances she was quarry both to storm and stealth, to be carried out to sea or to the bottom, or towed to a more ready location for the discharge or dispensing of drugs.
The present application of these conclusions is not rendered unpersuasive or defeasible by the neglect of the officers to commission one of their number to obtain a search warrant while leaving the remainder to guard the vessel, a delinquency upon which this court vitiated the search in United States v. Bradshaw, 490 F.2d 1097 (4th Cir. 1974). The Desiderata D's preservation and protection were impatient of hesitancy; opportunity for an intermission of effort to take her was not assured.
As the Supreme Court has stated:
(W)e know of no case or principle that suggests that the right to search on probable cause and the reasonableness of seizing a (vehicle) under exigent circumstances are foreclosed if a warrant was not obtained at the first practicable moment.
Cardwell v. Lewis, 417 U.S. 583, 595, 94 S.Ct. 2464, 2472, 41 L.Ed.2d 325 (1974).
Appellants further argue that the District Court erred in denying Hensler's motion to suppress evidence derived from a previous search of his luggage at an airport security gate, in admitting evidence of Hensler's possession of a large sum of money revealed in that search, and in admitting a confession obtained from Batty. In addition, appellants maintain that the evidence was insufficient to convict Hensler of importation and conspiracy to import marijuana. We find these arguments to be without merit.
The judgments of the District Court on appeal will be sustained.
Their trial, non-jury, was in the Federal District Court for South Carolina, but the third indictee, Michael C. Falker, had not been apprehended and was still a fugitive
The Fourth Amendment states:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
U.S.Const. amend. IV.

Domestic violence can be defined as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner.
Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone.
Physical Abuse: Hitting, slapping, shoving, grabbing, pinching, biting, hair-pulling, biting, etc. Physical abuse also includes denying a partner medical care or forcing alcohol and/or drug use.
Strangulation Penal Code 22.01: Surprisingly, 10% of violent deaths in the U.S. are attributted to strangulation. The majority of these case are women.
Sexual Abuse: Coercing or attempting to coerce any sexual contact or behavior without consent. Sexual abuse includes, but is certainly not limited to marital rape, attacks on sexual parts of the body, forcing sex after physical violence has occurred, or treating one in a sexually demeaning manner.
Emotional Abuse: Undermining an individual’s sense of self-worth and/or self-esteem. This may include, but is not limited to constant criticism, diminishing one’s abilities, name-calling, or damaging one’s relationship with his or her children.
Economic Abuse: Making or attempting to make an individual financially dependent by maintaining total control over financial resources, withholding one’s access to money, or forbidding one’s attendance at school or employment.
Psychological Abuse: Causing fear by intimidation; threatening physical harm to self, partner, children, or partner’s family or friends; destruction of pets and property; and forcing isolation from family, friends, or school and/or work.
Domestic violence can happen to anyone regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or gender. Domestic violence affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels. Domestic violence occurs in both opposite-sex and same-sex relationships and can happen to intimate partners who are married, living together, or dating.
Domestic violence not only affects those who are abused, but also has a substantial effect on family members, friends, co-workers, other witnesses, and the community at large. Children who grow up witnessing domestic violence are among those seriously affected by this crime. Frequent exposure to violence in the home not only predisposes children to numerous social and physical problems, but also teaches them that violence is a normal way of life – therefore, increasing their risk of becoming society’s next generation of victims and abusers.

Young adults who made the drastic decision to mutilate their bodies in a quest to become the opposite sex are now speaking out. As Church Militant's Kim Tisor explains, detransitioners are realizing their mistakes and trying to prevent others from following the same destructive path.
Chloe Cole, biological female who once lived as a male: "I don't know if I'll fully be able to carry a child, and I might be at increased risk for certain cancers."
17-year-old Chloe Cole began taking puberty blockers at age 13, had a double mastectomy at 15, and now is mourning the loss of what might have been.
Ms. Cole: "Because I do not have my breasts — I no longer have breasts — I'm not able to breastfeed whatever future children I have."
It was that realization that caused her to recently speak out in favor of a Florida rule blocking Medicaid funds from covering drugs and procedures for gender-confused teens.
Florida surgeon general Joseph Ladapo told the state's Board of Medicine last month, "Florida must do more to protect children from politics-based medicine," or else youth will "continue to face a substantial risk of long-term harm."
Others who've journeyed a similar path to Chloe's blame doctors for pushing trans so-called solutions to what are essentially psychological problems. Dr. Patrick Lappert, a compassionate plastic surgeon who helps those destransitioning, agrees.
Patrick Lappert, M.D.: "They suffer from an internal conflict ... and this idea that was sold to them, that they could somehow be in the wrong body, is contrary to everything that has informed Western medicine."

In the midst of summer love, "I do's," false "my water broke!" scurries to the hospital, late-night messy diaper changes, and starry night porch swings, I am sure the last thing ever on your mind was the moment you would have to say goodbye.
But it happened.
I know you didn't choose this. I know you would do anything to bring back your soulmate.
I am sorry that you will never get another welcome home kiss or a chance to travel the world with your best friend.
And I am sorry that you will only feel the embrace of the love of your life in memories.
There is no magic answer that will ease the pain. No inspirational quote, discussions with family, or even professional help could ever take away the pain of losing someone you love.
But try to at least to remember this.
Despite sleeping in an empty bed now, you aren't alone. Though picturing that sight makes it hard to believe, those who love us never really leave us. And I am not trying to bullshit you on that either.
I like to think (or tell myself) death doesn't conquer love. Look around you. Life may seem horrible right now, but can you see your children running around? They are still alive and they need you. And your partner knows you have the strength to care for your children AND yourself. The death of a parent may be different from the death of a spouse, but the pain is no different; it is still a deep heart-wrenching pain. Your children need you, and you need them.
But maybe you don't have children. Maybe it was just you and your soulmate, ready to take on a life's journey together, without the little ducklings to take care of. Maybe you created this vision of the two of you...and only the two of you. Now? You feel lonely. You feel isolated. Who else do you have to share everything with? Who are you even going to speak to now?
It's easy to feel alone, to feel like no one else cares - especially in a state of grieving. But here's another little reminder:
You aren't alone. Someone out there cares. Someone wants to help. But they only can help if you let them in. The pain isn't going to go away, but you don't have to go away either. This is not a time to dwell in your misery. This is not a time to give up.

XP Users: Shutdown Windows Faster
IntelliAdmin explores a service released by Microsoft that can help your computer shutdown faster. The User Profile Hive Cleanup service discussed cleans up user profiles and therefore helps reclaim and distribute system resources once a task is closed.
The idea of this program is to reclaim resources when a task is finished (memory, handles, etc). It accomplishes this by monitoring for users to log off and verifying that unused resources are reclaimed. This approach is superior as it works for any known reason that profiles do not unload and also will keep working to address new unknown issues.


A key infrastructural link for the south east will form the focal point of the New Ross bypass. The Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge is a three tower 887m long extrados bridge, the longest of its type in the world.
Extending more than 300m over the River Barrow and with a 36 metre clearance the bridge is a key link for the surrounding communities and also for shipping navigation to the port of New Ross.
Extrados bridges are noted for their lower tower heights when compared with conventional cable stayed bridges. While aesthetically pleasing such an approach puts additional demands on the materials that make up the bridge with higher strength concretes typically required.
This has resulted in the use of high strength concrete mixes including C50/60, C60/75 and C80/95. While the use of C50/60 concrete is relatively common, the use of C60/75 and in particular C80/95 concretes in Ireland is rare, and seldom has such concrete been used to the scale required for this bridge.

Coming off a deflating 72-80 loss to the Adamson University Soaring Falcons six days ago, Bright Akhuetie and the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons pounded the National University Bulldogs, taking an 82-71 victory, Saturday evening at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City.
With the win, UP are now in solo fourth with an even 6-6 record – half a game ahead of the FEU Tamaraws and the UST Growling Tigers. Moreover, the Fighting Maroons have matched their win total from last season.
“The emphasis is there. We agreed no, we had to be eleven games wiser now, there were a lot of times that we really did not mature in the games that we had in the past,” said third-year Fighting Maroons head coach Bo Perasol.
Bright Akhuetie powered the Fighting Maroons with 21 points and 10 boards, while Juan Gomez de Liano once again flirted with a triple-double with 10 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists.
With the two clicking, UP would lead by as much as 16 points in the game, 71-55, with 5:11 left in the game.
Dave Ildefonso then tried to lift NU back into the game, scoring 11 of his 24 points late in the game. But timely baskets by fifth-year players Paul Desiderio and Gelo Vito bucked NU’s hijack attempt. Desiderio chipped in 12 points, while Vito added 10 markers.
“They were poised to have a strong rally again but we were able to hold off not only because the starters were there but like Gelo here, for those who were able to step up,” beamed Perasol.
Things got heated late as Filipino-Canadian David Murrell went for a dunk with nine seconds left. It drew the ire of Ildefonso, Troy Rike, and Jamike Jarin.
The season-hosts dropped to 3-8 – one loss away from elimination.
Ildefonso had another spectacular outing with 24 points to go along with six rebounds. However, he committed six of NU’s 11 turnovers.
UP will next face the University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers on Saturday, November 10. On the other hand, NU will look to end their campaign on a high note starting Wednesday, November 7, against the De La Salle University Green Archers.
UP (82) – Akhuetie 21, Desiderio 12, Ju. Gomez de Liaño 10, Vito 10, Manzo 8, Murrell 8, Prado 6, Gozum 4, Ja. Gomez de Liaño 2, Diego 1, Tungcab 0, Jaboneta 0, Spencer 0, Lim 0.
NU (71) – D. Ildefonso 24, Sinclair 13, Gallego 9, Rike 7, S. Ildefonso 6, Salim 6, Clemente 5, Gaye 1, Diputado 0, Yu 0, Tibayan 0, Galinato 0.

Television is a brutal beast. It’s a world where tastes can change, the medium can alter and events can shift your plans. It’s where actors can be starring in a smash hit show one year and be out of work the next. Where one bad line in an interview turns them into persona non grata. Given how TV is always looking for newer stars, it’s hard to last long in this industry.
Ironically, it’s the non-stars, the folks you see popping up all the time on dozens of shows, who have more lasting careers than “here today, gone tomorrow” types. Yes, some are able to make long careers in television, appearing on numerous shows and gathering award wins. And others are able to use that to achieve major fame on the big screen. But it’s not for everyone. For every George Clooney, there’s a David Caruso. For every Melissa McCarthy, there’s a Shelley Long. And you can achieve fame on TV and in movies only to be a nobody all over again (re: Katherine Heigl).
For many actors and actresses, this is as good as it’s going to get. That’s especially true for younger ones who don’t grasp how rough the town can be. Also, there’s the risk of typecasting; being unable to break away from that role or be seen as anyone else but that famous character by fans. Some are just trapped in shows that have lasted so long that their chances of breaking into better work are fading with new faces around. Maybe it’s unfair but it’s true. Here are 15 TV stars who, once their shows end, are likely to become “who?” in the future, showing just how tough this business can be.
15 Hayden Panettiere (Nashville)
Already, Hayden Panettiere has endured going from star to nobody. She had roles in various TV shows and a hit as the little girl in Remember the Titans. In 2006, she broke out as Claire, the invincible cheerleader in NBC’s smash hit Heroes, making it an iconic part. However, the show’s drop in quality hurt her and when it was axed after four seasons, Hayden faded away. In 2012, she made a good comeback as selfish country star Juliette Barnes on ABC’s Nashville. It was a big role and she handled it well. That included how Panettiere suffered post-partum depression and had to seek treatment for it. The show was axed by ABC but then CMT revived it, allowing Panettiere to rise back up.
She’s moved to the lead following Connie Britton’s exit and doing well. But her attempts to break out in movies have failed and her health issues seem to have affected her. Indeed, she’s talked about how, after the show ends with its upcoming sixth season, she might just take a long break from acting completely. With many hot blonde starlets around, it’s likely once more Panettiere fades into the background despite two notable TV roles.
14 Kit Harington (Game Of Thrones)
He’s handsome, he’s buffed, he has a great accent and he’s the star of one of the hottest shows of all time. Sadly, Kit Harington has tried and failed to break out of being anyone but Jon Snow. He has done a fine job with the role, turning this somewhat ignored character into the heart of the fantasy hit, astounding with his work. Whether slicing up guys, fighting undead monsters or baring all in love scenes, Harington has grounded the show and become a hero. True, fans of the series are the first to mock him being a bit flat at times but able to sell his spirit well. However, while engaging, Harington hasn’t had a lot of luck outside the show. He tried to do so in Pompeii but the mix of gladiator action and disaster flick was a major bomb. Harington still is trying with stuff like the upcoming The Gunpowder Plot mini-series. But many still see him as just Jon Snow and thus hurting his attempts to break out into bigger parts. A shame given his talent but Harrington isn’t likely to turn the part of Snow into anything major down the road.
13 The Arrowverse Ladies
Sci-fi fans can be a fickle lot. In some ways, they can hold onto shows most have long forgotten and hail them still as terrific. But other times, they can only look to the future and dismiss past stars as too “niche” to work out in major fame. The ladies of the CW’s “Arrowverse” appear to fit that past category. The only one who really had prior fame was Katie Cassidy from a few short-lived TV shows and bad movies. Since then, the wide range of actresses on the various shows are big but don’t seem to be ready to branch out beyond their roles. Emily Bett Rickards, Willa Holland, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Caity Lotz, they’re all good actresses but one can easily see nothing but a future of Lifetime/Hallmark TV movies for them.
Melissa Benoist may get a bit better with her singing voice leading to Broadway but will probably not be as big outside Supergirl. Just see how even Legends of Tomorrow fans have forgotten Ciara Renee, who played Hawkgirl in the first season. These ladies should get used to being on the convention circuit in the future rather than Hollywood fame when this universe finally shuts down.
12 Bella Thorne (Famous In Love)
In many ways, she’s gotten her name out there a lot but sadly, it’s less for her acting than for her wild looks and ways. Bella Thorne had a unique style already as the quirky CeeCee on the Disney Channel series Shake It Up. She’s risen up with some roles on shows, notably the Freeform series Famous in Love, playing off herself as a rising starlet. But Thorne has gotten more attention for her constant social media posts, flaunting her body in next to nothing most of the time. Her few projects outside include The Babysitter, a Netflix movie slammed as a total mess. While her former co-star, Zendaya, has gone on to some major fame on the big screen, it doesn’t seem as if Thorne is going to go the same way. Indeed, the comparisons to Lindsay Lohan are obvious from red hair to wild behavior and thus too easy to imagine that once Famous ends, Thorne’s own fame will simply being another teen star turned train wreck rather than big-screen success.
11 Emmy Rossum (Shameless)
Her movie career wasn’t exactly very notable. Emmy Rossum got attention as the ill-fated daughter in Mystic River and that led to roles on The Day After Tomorrow and then The Phantom of the Opera. But it was nothing notable until she was cast on Showtime’s Shameless. As Fiona, she handles a rambunctious clan while doing a variety of fun scenes. Rossum has gotten attention for cutting loose majorly, including extensive nudity and wild love scenes. That’s made the show a good hit for the network but the raw material means Rossum is ignored by award shows. It’s also left her unavailable for various movie parts and while she has done some directing, it’s not a huge career ahead. While the part has some good material, it’s more famous for Rossum showing a lot of skin. Thus, when it does end, her career may suffer for it, unable to take off (not helped by so many actresses having the same looks as she does) and too bad Rossum took too much time for a shameless part.
10 Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles (Supernatural)
It’s laughable to remember back in 2005 when the creators of Supernatural talked of having a "five-year plan” and fans worried the show would be canceled before that. It’s survived from the WB to the CW and now currently in its thirteenth season. A key reason is the two leads as there’s no denying how handsome Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are in their parts as Sam and Dean Winchester. They’ve handled everything from the Apocalypse (several times) to fighting the Devil, angels and just about every sort of monster imaginable. Yet more than a few fans are thinking it’s long past time the show finally met its end despite the CW continuing to push it. The fact is that the two actors have sadly wasted a prime period of their careers on these parts, ignoring possible movie roles and ways to branch out. The boys better have enjoyed this long ride as their careers afterward are likely to hit a ditch.
9 Ariel Winter (Modern Family)
This may seem a tough call but it’s also a likely one. When Modern Family began, Ariel Winter was the classic “nerdy kid” as Alex, the brains of her family. She wore glasses, frumpy clothes and clearly in the shadow of sister Haley. But as puberty hit, Winter changed and not just in talent. She famously needed a breast reduction to handle her growing chest and also had some famous family issues. Even the show has had to acknowledge that with Alex now sporting some sexier stuff. Winter herself has taken off on social media, flaunting her body in very risqué outfits and clearly loving showing herself off. She’s also earned a rep as a bit of a party girl. But that sadly means it’s likely that when Family finally ends its long Emmy-winning run, Winter isn’t going to be that in demand. Hollywood is already packed with buxom ladies willing to flaunt it, one more isn’t going to make a difference. Also, her strength is comedy, limiting some choices for other roles. While watching Winter grow has been great, her career seems likely for a comedown after this part.
8 Andrew Lincoln (The Walking Dead)
Much has been made about how the ratings for the latest season of The Walking Dead are sinking badly. It seems fans are being turned off by the slow pacing and often rough turns of the show. Which is a shame as Andrew Lincoln is still doing his best as Rick, the hero who leads this group of survivors in a zombie-overrun world. It’s astounding how the British-born Lincoln affects a perfect Georgian accent for the role and embodies the character so well. But it’s also the role he’s known best by and in some ways, it holds him back. Lincoln himself jokes that once he finally shaves his “Rick beard” off, people will have no idea who he is and that will hurt him in the long run. The fact that he’s sticking to a show clearly limping to a poor finish is also likely to hold him back and thus, probably just return to England after it’s finished. The man should be credited with making this part work so well yet it's unlikely he’ll do much of anything after the show is finally dead.
7 Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things)
The fate of child actors in Hollywood can be cruel. Sure, some are able to move onto fantastic careers as adults. But sadly, far too many fall apart, not just into addictions or such but just obscurity. Stranger Things has become one of Netflix’s biggest hits with many loving its 1980s vibe and gripping storytelling. Millie Bobby Brown has been boosted up as Eleven, the young telekinetic child at the heart of the story. Whether munching on waffles or sending a car flying with her mind, the character is pulling viewers in (even with the now-infamous “bottle episode” of season two). She’s earned an Emmy nod and doing well and many hope that at just 13, she can build off that. But it’s also quite likely that this is just a flash in the pan and when Things ends, Brown can’t do much else. Her age can work against her and the fact is, the odds are high she can’t get a role anywhere as good and fade into the woodwork. It’s quite possible in 20 years, she’s just another “remember her?” name on some list which is a strange but likely fate.
6 Uzo Aduba (Orange Is The New Black)
The whole cast of Orange is the New Black is impressive but Uzo Aduba is the one getting the accolades. She’s won two Emmys for her work as Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren, winning over fans for her take on this nutty crook who’s an innocent in so many ways. The role has won raves although some complain the character has devolved a bit in the last few seasons and overwhelmed by the larger cast. Aduba is a fun lady in person and comes off great in interviews but also seems to lack the wider range needed to build a bigger career. It may seem odd that a woman with Emmys can become a nobody but when was the last time you heard anything notable about Drea de Matteo? Aduba is a great actress and did fine with the role but it’s also likely to trap her in typecasting. Thus, sad as it is, the most notable person from OITNB is likely to fade into the background once that show reaches its end.
5 Ellen Pompeo (Grey's Anatomy)
Shonda Rhimes was smart to cast an unknown in the key role of Meredith Grey. It’s important to remember that no one expected Grey’s Anatomy to be anything but a spring filler show in 2005. Certainty, no one could have dreamed it would not only be a massive ratings hit but last 14 seasons and counting. Ellen Pompeo has been its heart as Meredith who’s endured countless heartache, massive slights, been blown up, in a plane crash, a miscarriage, a dead husband and way too many wild surgeries. Pompeo may not be the knockout of other stars on the show but still attractive and grounds the often wild series. Yet the fact she’s so identified in the role is going to hurt her trying to do anything when he ends. One can’t blame Pompeo as it’s good job security and it’s rather unlikely the show’s ending anytime soon. But it still looks likely that when the show ends (and it’s hard to do Grey’s Anatomy without Grey), Pompeo will just fade away as dedicating so much of her life to one role doesn’t leave much time to build a legacy.
4 Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory)
Kaley Cuoco has amazing beauty, there’s no denying it. But her acting talents lean toward simply being a sexy gal. That got her attention as the ditz on 8 Simple Rules and had real promise but the show suffered after John Ritter suddenly died. Cuoco was then added the final season of Charmed with hopes of a spin-off but viewers found her character horrible. It looked rough until Cuoco was cast as Penny in The Big Bang Theory. Massive success has followed with her being the highest-paid actress on television and terrific in her charisma to make the show a hit. However, it’s obvious Cuoco gets by on looks more than her talent and unlike other ladies (Katherine Heigl, for example), she hasn’t done much in movies to build her career. Beauty fades and Cuoco has spent most of her prime years on this show. Thus, when it finally does end its run, it’s likely Cuoco will fade and not experience anywhere near such success again.
3 Caitriona Balfe (Outlander)
For years, fans adored the Outlander series, Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling novel series of a 1946 nurse sent back to 1740s Scotland. In 2014, Starz finally launched a TV version with Caitriona Balfe cast as heroine Claire. With a great American accent, the Irish actress captured the role, handling everything from battle scenes to the very expansive amount of nudity. The actress has done very well, including the wild turns like Claire aging 20 years before going back in time and doing scenes on a boat during a storm. It’s a great performance but sadly is overwhelmed by others on cable, particularly with the rise of streaming shows. The long lags between seasons due to the big productions don’t help either as Balfe hasn’t done much else besides that show. Fans adore it but the show’s audience doesn’t approach the same level as, say, Game of Thrones. Thus, when it does end, Balfe’s own time is likely to run out and not be much remembered outside of those fans.
2 Chrissy Metz (This Is Us)
It’s not fair in any way but it’s the brutal truth: Chrissy Metz might not be able to get any roles on TV outside of This Is Us. From the start, NBC’s acclaimed hit has focused on her, Kate, a woman struggling with her weight and facing issues regarding it. Metz’s entire TV career has been playing that type of woman, including a “freak” on a season of American Horror Story. The woman has a lovely singing voice and is terrific, clearly putting her real-life experiences into Kate. The show is a hit with many seeing the character as an inspiration for handling their own issues. Metz is likely to fade away when the show finally ends. It’s no fault of Metz whatsoever, it’s just a harsh system.
1 Lana Parrilla (Once Upon A Time)
For years, Lana Parrilla bounced around various short-lived TV shows, not making a big splash at all. In 2011, she was cast as Regina Mills aka the Evil Queen on Once Upon a Time. With little advance buzz, the show was a huge hit and while it’s had a lot of ups and downs, fans still hold Parrilla being the best part of it. Her Regina has gone from pure villain to redeeming herself into a hero. In the recent season, she’s practically the only major cast member left and still doing her best to elevate the show. It’s rough with poor ratings but Parrilla is doing her best. Frankly, Regina is the best role she’s ever gotten and unlikely she can ever find one so great again. The show is likely to end after this year and it’s a shame a woman as beautiful and wickedly funny as Parrilla is going to fade afterward but the magic of a fine, long-lasting hit is very rare.

Running back, New York JetsIs Tomlinson finished? Far from it. LT turned in another solid game in Week 4 and his best as a Jet, rushing for 133 yards and two touchdowns in New York's 38-14 rout of Buffalo. Tomlinson had the 47th 100-yard game of his 10-year career -- and first since he had 105 on Oct. 26, 2008, when he was with San Diego. With 12,831 yards rushing, Tomlinson also passed Tony Dorsett to move into seventh place on the NFL's career list.
Wide receiver, Cincinnati BengalsThe Bengals lost, but no one in Cincinnati will be pointing fingers at Owens, who torched the Browns' secondary. Owens had 10 catches for 222 yards, including a 78-yard TD, in a 23-20 loss. Owens moved past Isaac Bruce into second place on the league's career yardage list. Owens has 15,323 yards, second only to Jerry Rice's 22,895.
Wide receiver, Indianapolis ColtsT.O. wasn't the only wideout who shined in a losing effort. Wayne caught a franchise-record 15 passes for a career-high 196 yards in the Colts' 31-28 loss at Jacksonville. It was Wayne's first 100-yard receiving game since Week 15 of last season.
Cornerback, Green Bay PackersWoodson returned an interception 48 yards for a touchdown, helping the Packers escape with a 28-26 victory over Detroit. It was the 10th pick-six of Woodson's career. The veteran cornerback also had 13 tackles and three passes defensed.
Place-kicker, Atlanta FalconsBryant has become the Falcons' Mr. Clutch. Bryant kicked a 42-yard field goal with 2 seconds remaining, lifting Atlanta to a 16-14 victory over the winless 49ers. Bryant also had field goals of 37 and 31 yards. Last week, Bryant kicked a 46-yarder in overtime to beat New Orleans.
Running back, Houston TexansDespite being benched until midway through the second quarter (coach's decision), Foster had a huge game in Oakland. Foster scored on a 74-yard run and a 10-yard catch in the second half to lead Houston to a 31-24 victory. Foster finished with 131 yards on 16 carries.
Tight end, San Diego ChargersGates played a big part in the Chargers' domination of Arizona. Gates caught seven passes, all seven that were thrown in his direction, for 144 yards and two TDs as San Diego rolled to a 41-10 victory. Gates, who has at least one TD in all four games this season, became the seventh tight end in NFL history with 500 catches.
Quarterback, Arizona CardinalsAnderson appears to have already fallen out of favor in Arizona. After beating out Matt Leinart in the preseason and earning the Cardinals' starting quarterback job, Anderson was benched in the second quarter of Arizona's loss to San Diego. Anderson threw a pair of interceptions, including one that was returned 31 yards for a TD by Shaun Phillips, before giving way to rookie Max Hall.
Wide receiver, Philadelphia EaglesThe Eagles' biggest home-run threat was a nonfactor against the Redskins. Jackson caught a season-low three passes for only 19 yards in Philadelphia's 17-12 loss. A week after averaging 30.6 yards per catch against Jacksonville, Jackson's biggest gain on Sunday was 9 yards.
Cornerback, San Francisco 49ersClements played a terrific game at times, but his fumble during an interception return paved the way for the Falcons' victory. After picking off a Matt Ryan pass late in the fourth quarter and returning it 39 yards down the sideline, Clements had the ball knocked out of his hands by Atlanta WR Roddy White. The Falcons recovered at their own 7-yard line, and then drove to the winning field goal.

In the incident, the trainee crane operator suffered a 5% permanent disability.

Old Town Bakery. Corner of Easton and Grinnell St. This is a great bakery to hit EARLY in the morning. The Almond Croissants are to die for. You can taste the butter in them. On another visit I had the Breakfast Sandwich, and it was terrific and very filling. The first day were we were on our bikes heading to Kayaking. I am glad we were because I would have bought many other items in the display case. A great walk to the Old Town bakery in the morning for a cup of coffee and a selection from their display case. Sit outside on the benches to enjoy your meal. You will be glad you did. This place is small and maybe packed with people, but do not let this stop you. Stand in line if need be.

The political map of Nepal shows the international boundaries, provincial zones boundaries, the national capital along with the provincial zones’ capitals.
Geography of Nepal
Nepal measures around 547 miles (880Km) along the Himalayan axis and has a land area of 147,181SqKm. Nepal is surrounded by India on the 3 sides (the east, south, and west) and China’s Tibetan Region towards the North; while Bangladesh is situated within only 17 miles of its southeastern slope. The country is topographically separated into 3 regions – the Himalayas towards the north; the Terai towards the south and the middle hills comprising of the Churia Hills and the Mahabharat range. The Himalaya range and its bottoms form the northern border of Nepal and denote 16% of the total land.
Demography of Nepal
The total population of Nepal as per the UN data is 29,262,685 as of Sept 2020, which is equal to 0.37% of the overall population of the world. Nepal’s density of population is 203/SqKm on the overall landmass 143,350SqKm and approx. 21.4% of Nepal’s population is urban. The life expectancy of Nepal is 71.74 years for both females and males. The infant mortality rate is 23.4deaths/1000 lives and the death rate under age 5 is 27.7/1000 births.
Culture of Nepal
Nepal’s culture includes different cultures belonging to 125 different tribal groups available in Nepal. The country’s culture is demonstrated through dance and music; craft and art; literature and languages; folklore; religion and philosophy; celebration and festivals; drinks and foods. Nepal was pronounced a secular nation on 18th May 2006, by the Parliament. As per the census 2011, around 81.3% of the population of Nepal is Hindu; 9.3% (Buddhist); 4.2% (Muslim); 3.0% (Kiratist, native ethnic); 1.4% (Christian); 0.1% (Sikhs); 0.1% (Jains); 0.7% follow different religions. The killing of cows is prohibited in the country as the animal is regarded as the Universal Mother, representing charity, pity and motherhood. Earlier known as Khas-Kura, Nepali is the official language of the country. As per the census (2011), around 44.6% of the Nepalese speak Nepali and 11.67% of the population speaks Maithili, the 2nd most popular spoken language; a majority of the people can also understand and speak (not smoothly though) Hindi.
Top places to visit in Nepal
Kathmandu is the capital and the largest city of Nepal and the most beautiful city across Nepal; in fact across the world. The city is located in a valley enclosed by the mountains of the Himalayas. The majority of the historic locations of the city had been destroyed or damaged by a devastating earthquake in 2015, yet the main spots such as Hanuman Dhoka, Durbar Square’s palace, and the Kasthamandap have been reconstructed.
Bhaktapur, the 3rd of the ‘Regal Cities’, is located on the ancient trade road to Tibet, just exterior to Kathmandu. The trade road was both the main source and the arterial link for Bhaktapur. Bhaktapur’s comparative aloofness permitted the city to grow autonomously and in manners that separate it from the other 2 regal cities, Kathmandu and Patana. The entire Bhaktapur area is the World Heritage Site declared by UNESCO.
Boudhanath Stupa (Bodhnath)
Situated right outside of Kathmandu, the Boudhanath Stupa is one of the biggest stupas of its kind across the world and dates back to nearly the 6th century or maybe even earlier. Boudhanath Stupa, like Bhaktapur, is situated on the ancient trade road to Tibet; it is also the World Heritage Site declared by UNESCO. There are different shapes on the Stupa, representing the major 5 elements as well as the 5attributes of Buddhas, i.e. water, earth, air, sphere, and fire.
Best time to visit Nepal
The most ideal time to visit Nepal is between October through December as the skies get clearer and spectacular; while the climate remains dry till April.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) – International calls to investigate Israel over alleged war crimes in the Gaza Strip prompted Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday to promise military personnel state protection from foreign prosecution.
"The commanders and soldiers sent to Gaza should know they are safe from various tribunals and Israel will assist them on this front and defend them, just as they protected us with their bodies during the Gaza operation," Olmert said.
Last week, the military censor ordered local and foreign media in Israel to blur the faces of army commanders in photos and video footage of the Gaza war for fear they could be identified and arrested while traveling abroad.

Corals on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef have fallen on hard times recently. But on the opposite side of the continent, their West Coast brethren have been living the good life for at least a century, a new study finds.
Global warming may be helping these creatures out — at least for now. “To date, it is the changes in temperature that are having the dominant impact on coral growth,” says Timothy Cooper, a marine biologist at the Australian Institute of Marine Science in Crawley.
To compare how reefs in different places have been doing, Cooper and colleagues collected samples of Porites coral at six spots off Australia in the southeastern Indian Ocean. Porites build skeletons with layers that, like tree rings, can be used to measure growth from year to year.
None of creatures had slowed their growth in the last 110 years, Cooper’s team reports in the Feb. 3 Science. Those at the southernmost sites have even been building reefs faster as surface waters there have warmed markedly.
On the Great Barrier Reef, the same type of coral is stressed. Porites grew 13 percent slower in 2005 than in 1990, a 2009 study found. This slowdown has been blamed on both warming waters and increases in ocean acidity caused by carbon dioxide. About a third of all atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions are soaked up by the world’s oceans, where the gas reacts to make carbonic acid. That lowers the water’s pH and the amount of dissolved carbonate, the raw material used by corals to build their skeletons.
Ocean acidification is expected to have an even greater effect at some of the higher latitudes surveyed in the new study, where dissolved carbonate is less plentiful to begin with. But Cooper and his colleagues found no sign that changing pH bothered any of the corals they sampled. While acidity may still be a problem in the long run, for now temperature seems to be the bigger factor, especially in high-latitude waters at the low end of the temperature range that Porites can tolerate. A bit of warmth seems to make the reef builders more comfortable and productive.
“It is good to see some corals doing well in the warming,” says Charles Sheppard, a marine biologist at the University of Warwick in Coventry, England. “But since most reefs are not marginal, that means little with respect to the gloomy prognosis for most reefs.”
Sheppard cautions that Australia’s West Coast may ultimately be heading for a downturn as well. Patches of coral in other parts of Western Australia have already been spotted bleaching — spitting out the symbiotic algae that keeps them alive — when struck by sudden surges of warm water. As waters continue to warm, all of Australia’s corals may one day find themselves squirming uncomfortably in the hot seat.

SpaceX has added another 60 satellites to its Starlink constellation despite a rare Falcon 9 engine failure.
The sixth batch of Starlink satellites was launched aboard a flight-proven Falcon 9 from the Kennedy Space Center at 12:16 UTC this morning. Approximately 2 minutes and 20 seconds into the flight, one of the nine Merlin engines that power the rocket’s first stage shut down prematurely.
Under the power of the remaining eight Merlin engines, the mission required the first stage burn to continue for 5 to 6 seconds longer than planned. The additional burn time consumed an extra tonne of fuel making recovery of the booster impossible. Following separation, the stage completed reentry and was destroyed as it splashed down in the Atlantic without the soft cushion of control deceleration.
Despite the anomalous first stage burn, the remainder of the primary mission was completed successfully with all 60 Starlink satellites being deployed without further incident.
Following the launch, SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk confirmed the premature engine shutdown on Twitter. The mercurial CEO added that a thorough investigation would be conducted before the next mission.
The Falcon 9 first stage (B1048) used for this morning’s flight had previously been flown on four separate missions. It was the first time SpaceX had attempted to launch a first stage for a fifth time. The anomaly may, as a result, have been an indication of wear catching up to the stage.
This, however, seems unlikely as Musk has previously stated that the Falcon 9 Block 5 first stage boosters are rated for more than 10 launches each. If this is true, the stage is barely through half of its operational life cycle.

I used to love the Gatwick Express back in the 80s when I used to commute between Sussex and the Equator/ Southern Hemisphere a couple of times per year. Mind you, I was about 10 at the time, and I wasn't paying the fare.

A bit of creative curiosity and a lot of personal guilt have got me thinking about my music acquisition habits. It’s been six months or so since I’ve bought a CD that wasn’t a gift for someone else. These days I get my music online.
I’m part of the demographic of people who are bothered more by the cost of CDs rather than the inconvenience of them. $10.00 per CD (or even $0.99 per song) is just too steep for me when other options are available. I like having CD quality. I like jewel-cases with the track titles and little books full of lyrics, photos, and art. But I also like a lot of other things I could spend that money on. Mmmm…
I more often listen to music on my iPod than a CD player. So being able to rip songs off a CD I buy is crucial. CD “protection” which prevents me from moving my music to a perfectly “fluid” format is not acceptable for me, and in this case I could be driven to illegal online downloads for inconvenience purposes rather than economic ones. It seems like this may be the case in the not-to-distant future.
Let’s assume I’m speaking hypothetically from now on to avoid incriminating myself…
If I rip songs off a friend’s CD or download music from allofmp3.com, I’m not only sticking it to RIAA. I’m robbing the artists of the little bit of money they would have received from the sale of a CD I didn’t buy. I’ve been able to ease my conscience so far by believing that the money I have saved shunning CDs has gone earnestly towards more concert trips. I’m sure I’ve spent more on concerts this year than I’ve spent on CDs (and concerts) previous years. I’ve gone to concerts I wouldn’t have gone to if couldn’t have heard the musician’s music for free first. Add to this the fact that artists receive a larger percentage of a concert’s profits than percentage of record sales.
From a high-level perspective, I am giving a larger portion of my disposable income to “the artists” than I would have if I were buying CDs and ignoring cheaper (so called illegal) online distribution channels. And this has kept me content for the past 2 years or so.
Let’s take a more detailed look at things though. I’ve downloaded a Kanye West CD and a Jason Mraz CD. I’ve seen Jason Mraz in concert before and will probably see him again. And while Mraz (and his band) may get as much as 1/3rd of the $100+ I’ll spend on tickets for his shows, how does this help Kanye West? Surely I owe this guy money.
But maybe I can just say, ‘Well, Kanye West just failed to impress me enough to motivate me to see him live.’ However, if I wouldn’t have been able to get his album for free (or really cheap without paying his label), I might have bought his CD. And in that case he would have gotten somewhere between $0.25-$2.00 for that CD.
[side note: I wish I had a good reference for how much artists get paid for CDs and concerts. If you have one, let me know. This page sites $0.0755 per track: Giving Away Music to Make Money. I’m also using the “common knowledge” that artists make more money from concerts than through CD sales.]
What about Mr. West and that $2.00 I owe him? I don’t know what to make of this. It’s very possible for me to say that I wouldn’t have downloaded the music if I had to pay (more) for it. That eases my conscious a bit.
But what about other artists, who I would see in concert if they played a venue closer to me? I’ve downloaded some Taproot. And I would see these guys in a heartbeat next time they show up in the Philadelphia area.
[results of a quick search: Taproot comes to Atlantic City with Stain’d, POD, and Flyleaf December 12th, 2005]
… but I haven’t been able to catch a Taproot concert so far. I have some “mp3 bucks” stored up to spend on that band. I could go out and buy the Taproot CD I guess, but I’d rather send them a check in the mail.
… not a bad idea, eh?
I’ll report-in later to expand on this topic with some ideas I have for “paying the artists”. In the meantime, anyone from the Kanye West, Jason Mraz, or Taproot families can contact me to get that check.
[other reading: Here is a website which explains a lot of thoughts I have on “illegally” downloaded music (with more research and analysis to support it): The Recording Industry is Trying to Kill the Goose That Lays the Golden Egg.]

The contents of this website including the maps, texts, and images are part of my ongoing research on the art and architecture of the fourteenth-century Angevin Kingdom of Naples in Southern Italy. The maps focus on a series of churches and family chapels, with their attendant tombs and decoration, that survive within the city of Naples and scattered across the kingdom. All of the them were commissioned by members of the Angevin royal family of Naples or by provincial members of the royal court. The maps and texts have been created to help explore the relationships between center and periphery, monarch and aristocrat, and notions of identity within these groups across the vast Kingdom of Naples.
Construction of the maps was undertaken as part of a Texas Tech University Center for Active Learning and Undergraduate Engagement (CALUE) research project which funded Madeline Joiner, a Texas Tech undergraduate Art History student, to assist me with the maps and help further my research into Cultural Geography. Spencer Mitchell, TTU graduate Art History student, masterminded the Arc-GIS portion of the project and taught Madeline and me the fundamentals of GIS-mapping.
Many thanks are due to CALUE for the funding. My most sincere thanks go my dedicated student assistants: to Madeline, who has gone on to graduate work in Medieval Art History at the University of Texas at Austin, and to Spencer, who has just graduated and will go on to a PhD in Pre-Columbian art and archeology. This project would still be languishing without their tireless work. Thanks also to Mary Mailler, a student in our TTU Fine Arts Doctoral Program, who pulled the maps and the text together into a website.
This website is a work-in-progress and the project is designed for me to be able to add more sites, texts, images, bibliography, and links to publications. Stay-tuned. More to come.

Pune Railway Station Cuts Parking Charges for Two-Wheelers
After receiving many complaints from passengers at the Pune railway station regarding the high parking charge for two-wheelers, the railway administration has reduced it from ` 20 to ` 10 for the first two hours. Passengers and activists have been complaining about the ‘exorbitant’ parking fee for the past two years. However, passengers travelling to Mumbai have to pay around ` 120 for over 12 hours. Visitors have also alleged that the parking contractor ‘extorted’ ` 20 from the visitors who reach the station just to pick up or drop guests.

The whole of the Staffordshire Hoard has been gathered together in one place for the first time since it was discovered in 2009.
All three-thousand-five-hundred items are being assembled so they can be studied in their entirety by researchers.
Researchers say it is unlikely that the objects, from the 6th and 7th centuries, will be assembled in the same place again for quite some time. Together they are worth in the region of £3.2million.
