I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older – I’m not THAT ancient quite yet – or if it’s because the world is getting dumber, but I’ve noticed in the past weeks, months, even years, that the oversaturation factor in media in general (and film in particular) has finally gotten on my nerves. And I’m not the only one.
When I say ‘oversaturation’, I mean the hype. The constant barrage of trailers, posters, TV spots, leaked scripts, clips, extended clips, television specials, and internet promotions – including games, treasure hunts, puzzles and memes – that we are subjected to in support of the newest film. This is particularly true in terms of big budget sci-fi, horror and action films, with the superhero genre as the most egregious transgressor. I know what they’re going for. They’re trying to get us excited, trying to whip up a frenzy, so that we all buy tickets for opening weekend, so that all IMAX showings are sold out, so that midnight showings have lines around the block. Which is the marketing department’s job, after all. I’m just beginning to think that they’re doing their job with far too much gusto.
Let us take The Dark Knight Rises. In the interests of full disclosure, I admit that I am not one of those people who worships at the altar of Chris Nolan’s Batman franchise. I enjoyed The Dark Knight largely because of Heath Ledger and Gary Oldman; I thought Batman Begins was big and loud and dark and boring. But, whatever. I’m going to go see The Dark Knight Rises like the rest of the movie-going public. Everyone who goes to see movies will go see The Dark Knight Rises. So why have there been teaser trailers running around the internet for what seems like a whole year? Why are we reading production notes to try and figure out who shows up in a party scene? Are we really so starved for entertainment, so excited for the Dark Knight to rise that we can’t wait to actually SEE THE FILM? We have to see bits and pieces of it and figure out everything about it?
See, I think we can wait. In fact, I think we should wait. I swear to God that I feel like I’ve seen The Amazing Spiderman already and I have not been to the theatre in weeks. When The Avengers came out, I did not get a chance to see it until several weeks after its release. But I had to hear about it. All. The. Time. Cast interviews, clips, extended previews; reviews too, but not just reviews! Whole profiles of various aspects of the film, the characters, the plot, the special effects, how they did this, that, and what everyone, from my grandmother to Joss Whedon, has to say about it. And 3/4 of that was before it even hit theaters. By the time I got around to actually seeing it, I was more than prepared to despise it, not because I wanted it to be a bad film but because I was sick of hearing about it. I had been oversaturated with information. Luckily, it was a good enough flick that I did not despise it.
Not so with Prometheus. I was sick of the hype surrounding Prometheus long before it ever hit theatres. So much speculation, so much discussion, so much information! And in the end the film was shite, a shadow of Scott’s best work, and an embarassment to the Alien franchise (here I thought you couldn’t get dumber than Alien: Resurrection). But again, the hype that surrounded Prometheus didn’t help. I did not need the speculation or the debate about where it would fall in the Alienfranchise. I went in demanding that Scott impress me with the remarkable nature of his vision because otherwise it just wasn’t worth it. If the hype had been less, maybe my ire at the sub-par product would have calmed.
I don’t know why the studios feel they have to shove these movies down the collective throat. After all, these are films built to be blockbusters. Maybe it’s because of declining ticket sales and the increase in pricing, or because we have so many options at the theatre they feel they have to convince to see this one particular film; we cannot possibly wait for DVD, obviously. I agree that ut better be something spectacular to pay the equivalent of your first born child to see something in 3D (the last film I remember being worth it in the end was Hugo). But I also think that studios distrust their public. There’s a sense of hysteria within the hype; a sense that maybe the film they’re trying so hard to sell is just not that good.
A few months ago, The Avengers was THE GREATEST FILM IN THE HISTORY OF GOD. This month, it’s The Dark Knight Rises. At a certain point, this kind of hyperbole turns back on itself. The Avengers was not the greatest film ever made, and I’ll be shocked if The Dark Knight Rises is either. I just wish that the studios, the media and, yes, the fans would stop acting as though they have to be. It only sets you up for disappointment or, as in the case of Prometheus, anger.
I still love going to the movies. I had as much fun watching The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel with a bunch of senior citizens as I did watching The Avengers in a theatre full of teenagers. But one of my best cinematic experiences was seeing Casablanca late at night in St. Andrews, surrounded by half-drunk undergrads. Everyone cheered when they sang La Marseillaise. There’s no hype in the world that can make up for a well-made film. So I think that Hollywood needs to stop being so worried about promoting and marketing and media. Just make a movie that can inspire applause.

The Email DietBy Edward Cone | Posted Friday, September 03, 2010 19:09 PM
by Samuel Greengard
My recent posts about the growing glut of e-mail and constant interruption these systems create struck a chord with a number of readers. Several offered strategies for dealing with the problem of information overload and e-mail glut.
These included using throwaway e-mail addresses for unwanted messages, creating multiple e-mail accounts and using filtering techniques. All of these solutions solve some problems but create others. For example, multiple e-mail addresses separate messages but there's still a need to check these accounts. So now I have 2, 3, or 4 e-mail accounts to check rather than one? Maybe I'm missing something here but I don't see the point.
Likewise, filtering creates a need to manage new and ever-expanding folders and constantly tweak rules. More time. More hassle. In the end, I spend less time tackling high-value work and more time overseeing administrivia.
The bottom line: if the problem could be solved by a simple strategy then why wouldn't we have solved the problem already?
Think of this as the diet book phenomenon. The fact that so many of them exist supports the notion that none of them actually work. Let's face it, our brains and bellies are all wired differently.
Worse, what works today probably won't work six months from now because managing all these systems and the resulting information is a moving target. This is exactly why we have to constantly install new software and systems and reengineer processes and workflow.
Unfortunately, there's no end in sight. Yes, today's young cell phone users might, as one reader suggests, view information as "just another blip in the information stream." But this doesn't necessarily lead to better information retrieval or improved decision-making. There's plenty of evidence to support the idea that it it has made things worse. Nor does it insulate them from the next generation of technology, which will likely leave them feeling entirely overwhelmed.
If one thing is certain it's that our ability to invent technology exceeds our ability to use it effectively. Blips do not eliminate drips. The data flood continues.

- The U.S. Supreme Court declined a request to stay litigation over the controversial Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule, which the White House asked for as it reconsiders the environmental regulations.
- Last month President Trump signed an executive order directing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reconsider the controversial WOTUS rule, in which the Obama administration clarified federal jurisdiction over waterways and wetlands under the Clean Water Act of 1972.
- The question before the Supreme Court includes whether District or Circuit courts have jurisdiction over the rule. The White House had asked to hold the case in abeyance as it makes several major environmental policy moves.
As the fight over President Trump's Supreme Court nominee heads for a Senate showdown later this week, the high court delivered a setback to the administration's environmental plans.
On Tuesday, the court denied a motion to hold the briefing schedule in abeyance.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to take the WOTUS case last year, but the National Association of Manufacturers has argued it belongs in District court.
The WOTUS rule was an attempt to clarify which smaller waterways and wetlands should be regulated under the Clean Water Act because they feed into larger bodies already covered by the law. Previously, the definition had been left to state authorities to determine.
Trump, in signing the executive order, called the rule "one of the worst examples of federal regulation, and it has truly run amok, and is one of the rules most strongly opposed by farmers, ranchers and agricultural workers all across our land."
Utility companies opposed the regulation from the outset, concerned that enhanced federal jurisdiction could complicate siting for energy projects. In 2014, when the rule was proposed, the Edison Electric Institute said it would "prolong the transition to a cleaner fleet in part because of new and uncertain permitting requirements."
Environmentalists and liberal states asked the Supreme Court to continue with the case, E&E reports, and the court's decision may indicate the Justices see the legal question of Clean Water Act jurisdiction as significant, even if the White House alters the rule.

The Department of Labor took the first step toward a possible delay of the fiduciary rule's full implementation date by publishing a request for information Thursday that also calls for suggestions on streamlining the rule.
The RFI allows the public to provide information "that may be used to revise the rule and associated exemptions," according to the DOL notice.
The new rule went into effect June 9 after a two-month delay, but other provisions of the law that apply to "best interest" contracts and other arrangements between retail investors and service providers are scheduled to go into effect Jan 1, 2018.
The RFI allows for a 15-day comment period on a possible delay, and 30 days to comment on ways to streamline other provisions.
The notice is on the Labor Department's website and will be published in the Federal Register shortly.

Published in the Vancouver Observer news site | January 6, 2012 | Circulation: 100,000 average monthly readers.
A long-time friend of slain UBC graduate student Ximena Osegueda Magana, 39 – whose body was found this week on a Mexican beach after having been tortured and burned – told the Vancouver Observer she is “devastated” even discussing her friend’s murder.
Osegueda, who was living in the southwestern Mexican state of Oaxaca researching post-colonial mythology, had been a member of Vancouver’s Ache Brasil capoeira gym on East Broadway Ave., and was a seasoned participant in the sport which combines music, dance with martial arts — as revealed in an online video of her competing, as well as her own Youtube channel of capoeira videos.
“I’ve known Ximena for over 15 years, she was a capoerista who trained at our school,” Christianne Odehnal told The Vancouver Observer.
“All I can tell you is she was a beautiful shining soul – very positive, very strong, funny, vivacious, enthusiastic.
“She had this glow in her eyes. If she ever caught a glance from you, she would break into a beautiful smile. So it’s a really great loss for everybody.”
Last week, Mexican authorities in the town of Huatulco, Oaxaca, discovered Osegueda’s body alongside that of her friend Alejandro Honorio Santamaria, 38, on a beach described as being a common dumping site for people murdered in the country’s long-standing drug war, which so far has claimed 50,000 victims, according to the Washington Post – 12,000 of them in 2011 alone.
Her body was discovered by her ex-husband, Jacy Wright, who traveled to Mexico to help search efforts after her family reported her missing December 13, according to CBC News.
Huatulco attorney-general Manuel de Jesus Lopez Lopez said that the parents of the two victims confirmed they were Osegueda and Santamaria. Only the day before, the body of Jesús Alberto Altamirano Hernández, a tour operator, was found on the same beach.
Osegueda’s mother, Maria del Carmen Magaña y Pérez, told a Mexican reporter she grew concerned in mid-December after her own home was broken into and her daughter’s van stolen, but that Osegueda did not answer her calls. The van was later discovered abandoned more than 400 kilometres away in Oaxaca’s capital city.
Osegueda’s other vehicle, a red Chevrolet, was found with its license plates removed on December 17 near Oaxaca’s airport, weeks before her and Santamaria’s bodies were discovered on Punta Arena beach hours away, according to Oaxaca’s state attorney’s office, the Procuraduria General de Justica del Estado.
The 39-year old was reportedly en route to a yoga class when she disappeared.
“To the whole university community it’s a terrible shock, and it’s perceived as a terrible tragedy,” Lucie McNeill, UBC’s public affairs director, told the Vancouver Observer. “News of a death like this doesn’t only affect her immediate faculty — but would obviously reverberate across campus.”
Although McNeill said she is awaiting instructions from Osegueda’s family before speaking more about the UBC graduate student, she added that the university will offer grieving students and staff with counselling, and will support anyone who wishes to organize a memorial in Osegueda’s honour.
Osegueda started her graduate program in Hispanic Studies in 2009, McNeill added, in the school’s department of French, Hispanic and Italian studies.
According to her own academic blog and her UBC program website, Osegueda was researching the origins of local mythology and the effects of Spanish colonization on Indigenous traditions. She was fascinated by how understandings of “otherness” were preserved in legend following European conquest.
“I am currently investigating the foundational myth of Huatulco, a municipality located on the coast of Oaxaca, Mexico,” she wrote on the UBC Hispanic studies website. “I am looking at how this myth has morphed from its first publication, in the 17th century, until today.
“… Pilgrims from around the region come to pay homage to Hautulco’s sacred cross, allegedly brought by the apostle St. Thomas, known in Mexico as the god-king Quetzalcoatl.”
A Facebook page in her memory started yesterday, with many friends writing their condolences. A memorial service will be held Saturday in Mexico City – where the UBC student grew up – in the city’s San Rafael neighbourhood.
On Tuesday, Salt Spring Island resident Robin Wood, 67, was killed after confronting robbers at a friends house in the town of Melaque, near Puerto Vallarta in another region of Mexico. Mexican authorities told media the country remains a safe tourist destination in spite of violence.
In December, Mexican authorities captured a leader of one of the country’s most notorious and violent drug cartels. Ramiro Rendon Rivera, the Sinaloa Cartel’s weapons chief, was arrested in late December.
According to the government of Canada, travellers to Mexico should “exercise caution” but that the country is still safe for tourists.
“Canadians travelling to Mexico should exercise a high degree of caution due to a deteriorating security situation in many parts of the country,” Canada’s travel advisory site suggests. “… Most major tourist areas have not been affected by the extreme levels of violence in the northern border region.”

I find spring bird count rather frustrating. Half the breeding birds are on a nest so you won't see them. Many of the breeding birds forage in the new leaves so it's difficult to see them in the leaf canopy. Warblers sing their little hearts out but you can rarely see them amongst the leaves. I was within 3 meters of a yellow warbler yesterday but I didn't see it. If it's windy or hot you see fewer birds . If you go in the afternoon many birds are on their afternoon nap.
So with all this whining I'm working up to tell you that I had a lousy bird count yesterday. Yes , it was very windy. It was also very bright. So I ended up with 15 species but my numbers were small.
I count in ravine area which has many different habitats.There's old growth forest...spruce and poplar. There's riparian area along the stream banks. There are areas of brush. There's even a little grass in some areas.
So I took some photos of the area but I didn't get any bird photos.

On Monday, Bloomberg News reported that Sony Group plans to call off the $10-billion merger of its India unit with Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. The decision stems from a standoff over Zee’s CEO Punit Goenka’s leadership. People familiar with the matter revealed that Sony is actively working on sending a termination notice to Zee before January 20.
Deadline Extension Discussions for $10 Billion ZEEL Merger with Culver Max and Bangla Entertainment
Last month, ZEEL announced that Culver Max Entertainment (formerly Sony Pictures Networks India) is open to discussing an extension of the merger scheme’s effective date, a day before the deadline. ZEEL sought an extension from Culver Max and Bangla Entertainment Pvt Ltd to complete the proposed merger, aiming to create India’s largest media conglomerate, according to regulatory updates. CMEPL, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Group Corporation, and BEPL, another indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SGC, are integral to the SGC Group. The regulatory approvals for the proposed $10-billion merger involving ZEEL, BEPL, and CMEPL have been secured from the fair trade regulator CCI, as well as the stock exchanges NSE and BSE, along with the company’s shareholders and creditors.
NCLT Approval for ZEEL-Culver Max Merger Faces Leadership Tussle
In August 2023, the Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) greenlit the merger between ZEEL and Culver Max Entertainment. According to the agreements, ZEEL MD & CEO Punit Goenka was designated to lead the merged entity. However, recent reports suggest that CMEPL is now insisting on appointing its Sony Pictures Network head, N P Singh, in this role, as reported by PTI last month.
This development followed an interim order by Sebi, which barred Essel Group chairman Subhash Chandra and Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd MD and CEO Punit Goenka from holding the position of director or key managerial personnel in any listed company. Sebi took this action following their alleged diversion of funds from the company.
Chandra and Goenka Successfully Challenge Sebi’s Order at SAT
Chandra and Goenka, responding to Sebi’s interim order, moved the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) and successfully challenged it in October. In September 2021, Sony Pictures Networks India and ZEEL initiated a non-binding term sheet to integrate their linear networks, digital assets, production operations, and program libraries. The resulting combined entity, with over 70 TV channels, ZEE5 and Sony LIV streaming services, and Zee Studios and Sony Pictures Films India, became India’s largest entertainment network.
The definitive merger agreement was signed in December 2022, designating ZEEL’s CEO Punit Goenka to lead the combined company. The majority of the board, nominated by the Sony Group, included SPNI Managing Director and CEO N P Singh. Amidst uncertainties due to Sebi’s actions against Chandra and Goenka for fund diversion, the proposed merger, approved by ZEEL shareholders and regulatory bodies including the Competition Commission of India, faced questions about its future.

|Welcome to the newsletter for September.
Welcome back to everyone after the summer! As we head into autumn, focus for the campaign remains firmly on infrastructure plans and reactions to what is being proposed or installed. In this month's newsletter we look into and assess plans for Elswick Road and Haddricks Mill, review the Clayton Street contraflow, and we investigate how connected Newcastle is when it comes to transport matters.
Keep on pedalling!
The management committee for Newcastle Cycling Campaign
Elswick Road Consultation – Our Response
In general, the campaign supports the plans presented for Elswick Road. However, we do have some questions about the design. To read more about these in our response, as well as for links to documents to which the reply refers, click here.
Crushed Clayton Street Cycle Contraflow
One year on from the original request and Newcastle does now have its first cycle contraflow. However, when it was built, it was left in a rather precarious position for weeks. How come? Katja Leyendecker, chair of NewCycling, runs through the parts of the design that have been done badly (and reported by many of you) and urges the council to build adequate and safe infrastructure! Click here to read the press article.
The Haddricks Mill Mincer
Current council plans for the already very claustrophobic Haddrick Mill roundabout in Gosforth look like making it into a complete dead-spot for walking and cycling. To read a summary of the main points discussed, including the main failings, click here. There is also a press release on the NewCycling website, entitled "Newcastle council road plan kicks cycling out".
Newcastle Disconnected On Transport Matters
Whilst some matters are slowly getting better, important gaps in transport still exist within Newcastle City Council, and aren’t necessarily narrowing. To read what the campaign would like to see, and to be able to get more involved with, click here.
Newcastle Cycling Campaign is a not-for-profit community group, run by volunteers, lobbying for a city with space for cycling. Join us today to help us shout out even louder for a cycling-friendly Newcastle & Tyneside.
You can also chat with us on Twitter @newcycling or join the Friends of the Newcastle Cycling Campaign group on Facebook.
Or if you would like to get more involved, have ideas for topics to be debated at the members' meetings or would like to recommend a speaker, please get in touch either through the website or by email.
Please consider donating online to the Campaign through Localgiving. Many thanks!

Thirty transplant swimmers will congregate at the London Aquatics Centre for the Transplant Sport Swimming Day on Saturday 23rd September.
Aged 12 to 70 years old from around the UK, they have one thing in common - all have had life-saving organ or bone-marrow transplants.
Many of the swimmers attending the London event recently competed at the World Transplant Games in Malaga where Team GB & NI were hugely successful, coming home with a combined 47 gold, 23 silver, 32 bronze medals and 30 new world records! They will be joined by a few new faces in a training day that hopes to consolidate existing technique and skills and give transplanted swimmers the confidence to go back home and establish themselves as regular swimmers, and to take up a healthy lifestyle which is vital for transplant recipients after their transplant.
The swimming day will involve a 2-hour swimming session in the Olympic-sized 50m pool, coached by Joshua White the Head Coach of Royston Swimming Club and Ben Ryder, assistant Coach at the City of Coventry Swimming Club. The swimmers will then be given a lecture session on nutrition led by kidney transplant recipient and Qualified Personal Trainer, Stephen Venis. Because of Stephen's personal experience, the one-hour session will not only cover basic nutritional needs but will go further to include specific requirements for transplanted athletes, who, depending on the type of transplant, may need to avoid certain foods or limit their fluid intake, for example.
For many transplant recipients meeting regularly with people who have had a similar life-changing experience is essential to build up a peer support network. Many transplant patients have on-going issues after surgery because of taking immunosuppressive medication to prevent their body from rejecting their new organ, so making transplant friends is important, as families and friends can offer advice and support to one another during the tougher times. So the upcoming event in London is really important, as it will give transplant recipients the chance to meet away from the British and World Transplant Games which are only held every one and two years respectively. It is also the first of many future training meets, in preparation for the World Transplant Games 2019, being held in NewcastleGateshead, UK

Grassroots Infrastructure Dependency Model: An Overview
Track: Disaster and Emergency Management
Authors: Carmella Burdi, Scott Schlueter
Join us for a discussion of a new geospatial model that helps emergency managers assess the operational status of critical assets in real-time based on their infrastructure dependencies and pre-determined coping strategies. We’ll start with a basic overview of infrastructure dependencies and then demonstrate the ways in which these can be visualized within a geospatial environment. We’ll conclude with a discussion of how this information can feed decision-making within an emergency ops center.


The House voted last night to build nearly 700 miles of fence along the U.S.-Mexico border as it began the first major floor debate in years on enforcing immigration laws.
The vote, 260-159, came on an amendment to a border-security and employer-verification bill that is scheduled for a final vote today.
Republican leaders appeared to have cleared a remaining hurdle last night by promising to remove language that said there should be a legal means for foreign workers to come and go.
Some Republicans had argued that the provision, which was nonbinding, was a place-holder to attach a guest-worker plan in the future and thus was a deal-killer.
On the fence construction vote, 49 Democrats joined 211 Republicans in supporting it while 12 Republicans joined the Democrats and one independent in voting against it.
Supporters of the fence said stopping the flow of illegal aliens is critical to dealing with illegal immigration.
“We need to stop the bleeding before we can stitch the wound,” said Rep. Phil Gingrey, Georgia Republican.
But Democrats said it will hurt commerce, irk neighboring countries and fail to keep people out.
“People will escape from Mexico and the southern border. This will only injure the relationships and cause no greater security,” said Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, Texas Democrat.
Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican and the amendment’s chief sponsor, said the success of a fence near San Diego convinced Congress and voters that the concept works.
“Democrat and Republican, the people agree the fence has worked,” he said. “It’s cut down on murders, it’s cut down on smuggling, and it’s brought order on both sides of the border.”
Mr. Hunter’s plan calls for 698 miles of fence at five locations along the 1,940-mile border. The barrier would be modeled from the San Diego fence, a two-layered reinforced fence with roads, surveillance cameras and sensors. Cost estimates run from $1.5 million to $2 million per mile.
Polls show a fence has overwhelming support among voters.
But Mexican President Vicente Fox this week criticized the idea, calling it “disgraceful and shameful” and saying it “will not protect the economy of the United States.” He said a fence would violate migrants’ rights and instead repeated his call for Congress to pass a bill to legalize illegal aliens.
In a body where ideas usually take years to germinate, supporters said they were amazed at how quickly the fence idea grew from an idea that a few members were talking about this summer.View Entire Story

Further properties of carotenoids leading to a potential reduction of cardiovascular risk are represented by lowering of blood pressure, reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and markers of inflammation such as C-reactive protein, and improvement of insulin sensitivity in ppigmentos, liver, and adipose tissues. Studies indicate an impact of these compounds on essential aspects of adipose tissue biology including the control of adipocyte differentiation adipogenesisadipocyte metabolism, pigmentow stress and the production of adipose tissue-derived regulatory signals and inflammatory mediators.
Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine whether higher dietary carotenoid intakes. It is therefore of the utmost importance to characterize these new potential sources of carotenoids.
Extraccion y separacion de pigmentos fotosinteticos conclusion
If carotenoid -related variations in female choice behaviour shift the timing of pairing, then they have the potential to promote assortative mating by carotenoid status and drive the evolution of carotenoid -based male plumage coloration.
The aim of this review is to focus attention to this effect of some carotenoids to prevent CVD. Identity of these carotenoids was investigated by means of thin-layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography and spectral analysis.
The carotenoid effect on the membrane was found to be specific to the identity of the carotenoid and the composition of the membrane itself. Epidemiologic studies supported the hypothesis that antioxidants could be used as an inexpensive means of both primary and secondary cardiovascular disease CVD prevention.

Full Text Available Abstract Background The coevolution of male traits and female mate preferences has led to the elaboration and diversification of sexually selected traits; however the mechanisms that mediate trait-preference coevolution are largely unknown.
In addition, the carotenoids are intermediary products in the biosynthesis of physiologically active apocarotenoids or derived compounds.

In vitro they have been shown to protect LDL. In general, absorption depends on bioavailability from the food matrix and solubility in micelles. Carotenoids are also known to improve consumer perception of quality; an example is the addition of carotenoids to fish feed to impart color to farmed salmon.
The series of molecules has permitted investigation of the role of carotenoids in the quenching of excited states of cyclic tetrapyrroles. Carotenoids are important as precursors of vitamin A as well as for prevention of cancers, coronary heart diseases, age-related macular degeneration, cataract etc. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to assess the group differences in skin carotenoid status over time.

This story was published February 17, 2005 in The Cavalier Daily, U.Va.’s student newspaper.
Season changes stress me out. The transition from one type of weather to another forces me to reorganize my closet and puts unnecessary strain on my sinus cavities. My eyes are watering for other reasons, because I believe CDs are seasonal, too. I wouldn’t think of listening to breezy O.A.R. in the dead of winter or sullen Rainer Maria at the beach.
Having said that, Lagwagon’s new album, Live in a Dive, is the perfect CD to get you through the layover.
I was excited to review the live album of this old-school punk band and gushed endlessly to my friends until I realized none of them had heard of Lagwagon. Assuming you are equally unaware, let the mists of time reveal a few pertinent facts.
In 1990, when flannel was still cool, Lagwagon singer Joey Cape met NOFX’s Fat Mike at a bar. Some months later, Lagwagon was the second band to sign with Fat Wreck Chords, the largest independent recording label of the ’90s. The Fat Wreck line-up grew to incorporate favorites like Less Than Jake, No Use for a Name, Screeching Weasel and Propagandhi.
Lagwagon hasn’t produced any new music since 2003, so the live album is a real breath of fresh air.
The production on Live in a Dive is excellent. It tightens the sound without losing the spontaneity and raw effects of a live show. Live in a Dive was recorded at the House of Blues in Hollywood in May and June of 2003. The set list includes a track from every Lagwagon album, spanning more than 10 years. This CD also has two brand-new songs: “Mister Bap” and “The Chemist.”
“We actually wanted to have a song on the live record that was only on the live record,” singer Joey Cape explains before “The Chemist.” The song is a definite throwback to the early days, with fiery guitar riffs and quick cut-offs. The band lures the listener in with chill reggae beats and then smacks them in the forehead with a smokin’ guitar riff straight from an ’80s hair band.
Fans can tell that Lagwagon rode the front of the “So-Cal punk” wave because they have a harder edge not found in the pop-punk bands of today, such as A Simple Plan. Lagwagon still embodies the founding characteristics of punk style, such as witty lyrics, blazing guitars and rolling drum beats. On tracks like “Burn” and “Alien 8,” Dave Raun’s drumsticks move faster than a hummingbird’s wings, never dragging the tempo or skipping a beat.
Squealing guitar solos go down smoothly in songs like “Falling Apart,” from the 2003 release, Blaze, and the audience goes into a frenzy on the opening chords of “Sick,” a track from Lagwagon’s most popular CD, Hoss. The song chugs happily along until the bottom drops out as the band pauses, letting the audience members sing a few bars by themselves. Who says punks don’t do a cappella?
Another Hoss track, “Razor Burn,” tells the true story of how Joey’s wife left him for a “Don Juan in Italy.” Joey dedicated the song to “all the people that just quit shaving,” and the lyrics follow, saying, “She has a new man/I have a new moustache/She found out I was lame/So I grew a beard of shame.”
Lagwagon’s album doesn’t redefine its music, but I would recommend Live in a Dive for fans unfamiliar with the lesser known side of punk — i.e. not Blink 182. If you’re looking for something to tide you over until you can safely listen to summer music, try a taste of Lagwagon; the feverish, fun pace of their songs offers a light, breezy listening experience without quite breaking out the SPF 30.

Steadfast Hemp Farm and Auction in Muhlenberg County is run by two veterans. They are trying to help struggling farmers by having hemp auctions, giving farmers a place to sell hemp for the first time in more than 70 years.
“Small farmers are generally the ones who get the short end of the stick,” says Keith BeLiles, Steadfast Hemp Farm co-owner. “They usually go out of business because they don’t have enough crop to stay in business.”
Nathan Tucker and Keith BeLiles say growing hemp is more stable than growing soybeans and corn, especially with their automated system in their greenhouse and their pesticide-free approach. They actually use ladybugs and praying mantises instead of chemicals.
“They go through and eat all of the bad bugs,” says Nathan Tucker, Steadfast Hemp Farm co-owner.
Tucker says growing hemp is extremely labor-intensive, but the need for CBD oil is prevalent. This is something he has seen first hand.
“My mother passed away in November and CBD oil was one of the only things that alleviated her pain,” says Tucker.
Hemp Business Journal predicts the hemp industry will reach nearly two billion dollars by 2022 as CBD products grow in popularity for health and wellness.
“Everything I’ve heard about the potential is pretty phenomenal,” says Muhlenberg County Judge-Executive Curtis McGehee.
Some Muhlenberg County officials say this is giving them hope for their economy.
“When Nathan and Keith came to me about their plans it was exciting to me as a Judge Executive because we’ve had some pretty hard roads in Muhlenberg County over the past years,” says McGehee. “We’ve lost some businesses and some industry.”
The potential for economic growth is especially enticing for Muhlenberg County after finding out 130 people may be laid off since Tennessee Valley Authority decided to close its remaining coal-burning unit back in February.

Coronavirus: Real Madrid and Zidane planning for multiple scenarios
Real Madrid might have to play a game every 48 hours and for that reason, Zidane is planning for multiple scenarios after coronavirus crisis passes.
Real Madrid's technical staff are planning for a number of scenarios to ensure the squad are ready for whenever football returns after the coronavirus epidemic. The club's directors have explained to Zidane the potential scenarios LaLiga are planning. There is still uncertainty but the mayor of Madrid have circled two keys dates in the calender. The first is 25 or 26 of March when we will know if the curve has been flattened and the spread of Covid-19 have eased off. The other is 15 April to analyse the number of people who have been given the green light after recovering from the virus. Football, obviously, will have to adapt to the measures put in place by the government.
The only thing we do know, and Zidane too, is that the date given to finish competitions once football does start against is 30 June. LaLiga will have to readjust their end date of 15 May. So, Zidane knows that between 15 May and 30 June, will have to play 11 games along with the Champions League knock-out stages and a potential final. That might demand a game every 48 hours.
In this scenario, the most feasible, the work done during the mini-preseason will have to focus on the avoidance of injury. It will be a model taken from NBA, who often play back-to-back games. With this model, the players play a lot and use training time for recovery.
Zidane and Madrid preparing for other coronavirus scenarios
There are other scenarios the technical staff are working on given we don't know what is ahead of us. The most important thing for the training staff is when the players will be able to train as a team again. They are currently quarantined and working at home on their own. They could have a week together before games start again or two. The most important aspect of this is when the state of alarm, which has been in place in Madrid since last week, is lifted by the Spanish government. It will be in place, for sure, until at least the week of Easter (April 8). In the Wuhan region of China, the first player to experience the epidemic, they had to shut everything down for eight weeks. In Spain, the curve is different to that in China and Italy though and measures were taken at different times in different countries.
LaLiga has calculated that there are still 28% of their television rights to be paid out, that is to say €550 million. There is also the money earned from ticket sales and season tickets and for that reason, clubs want to finish the season. For this, there is another scenario where UEFA and FIFA apply an emergency measure that would allow contracts to finish later than 30 June. That would mean the leagues could finish later in July. Zidane, along with his assistant coach, David Bettoni, and physical trainer, Grégory Dupont, to prepare for all scenarios.

Apr 23, 2020 · Sieve analysis is a technique used for determining the size of particles in essential distributions such as the number of different size particles are responsible for the surface reaction, solubility, and flowability. For dry nonagglomerated particles sieve analysis remains a costeffective and precise measuring instrument. Separating particles by size is called sieving.
The sieve stack is suspended from a single point at the top while the base is moved in an orbital motion. A bumping action is sometimes introduced as the sieve stack oscillates. These units work well with most materials ranging in size from () to (75μm) and come with a manual or digital timer.

A virtual relationship is an effective method to meet people and shape romantic you will have without having to actually meet. It can also be necessary for business human relationships. You can passade with people so, who live in varied time zones, and it can even cause a face-to-face meeting. A virtual romance can even be the best way to produce a new good friend or control goods with someone. However , be sure to boost the comfort about your motives with people you will absolutely dating.
Virtual relationships can be challenging as it requires both partners to get completely honest with each other. It is vital to remain genuine and show dedication to one partner, and you should avoid long emails which may turn off the virtual partner. Communicating on a regular basis with your partner will also assist you to build trust and confidence. Simply by focusing on one or two key points in each email, you can make sure your virtual partner seems closer to you.
While it can be hard to find someone who shares your values, you can also find advantages to virtual connections. Many people are interested in the idea of going out with someone they may have never met in person. Additionally it is a safe method to meet people and shape relationships. It can be easier to maintain when compared to a traditional relationship, and you’re impossible to have to worry about identity thievery.
A digital relationship is comparable to a coop pal marriage, but it’s more convenient. People can communicate with each other through a variety of methods online, including websites, texting and emails.

The benefits of a digital relationship are numerous. It can be a good way to maintain previous relationships and meet new ones, but there are several important disadvantages to that as well. As with any other kind of relationship, online dating services should be called with caution. It is best to consider every one of the facts just before entering into a virtual romance.
Another benefit for virtual romantic relationships is that they give anonymity. This is especially important for individuals with disabilities who could feel self conscious.

Harry Styles must be the kiss of success... after dating the curly-haired One Direction heart-throb earlier this year, Kendall Jenner is now being tipped to become the new face of Topshop.
As well as being a reality TV star, Kim Kardashian’s little sister, 18, has made her mark on the high-fashion world this year, too.
Not only did she walk for Marc Jacobs at New York Fashion Week and then Giles Deacon at London Fashion Week in February, the model’s natural beauty and style has not gone unnoticed by Topshop boss Sir Philip Green.
Stunning Kendall was a surprise guest at the Topshop Unique show two months ago – starring Jourdan Dunn and Harry’s rumoured former squeeze Cara Delevingne.
Kendall sat front row with US Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Kate Moss and Sir Phil and even posed for pics with the boss after the show.
And she clearly made a good impression on the tycoon because he invited her to be a guest at New York City’s prestigious Met Gala last Monday – along with Topshop staple Jourdan and model Chanel Iman.
There, Californian Kendall was the belle of the ball, wearing a floor-length bespoke Topshop pink gown.
An insider tells me: “Kendall is being lined up to be one of the new Topshop regulars.
“She fits the mould perfectly. She’s beautiful, tall, popular with teenagers on both sides of the Atlantic and will help expand the Topshop brand in the US.” A spokesman for the firm made no comment.
A deal would be a sting in the side for 5ft 10in Kendall’s big sister Kim, 33, who at 5ft 2in, was never tall enough to model professionally.
Kendall’s run of success comes after 20-year-old crooner Harry’s other exes also shot to superstardom.
Model Cara has become a world-renowned catwalk queen while singer Taylor Swift is now a UK household name.
But just who will Haz kiss with those lucky lips next?

UL Softball Defeats Baylor, 3-1, Advance To Championship Sunday
The 11th-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajun stayed unbeaten in the Lafayette, La. NCAA Regional, defeating the 18th-ranked Baylor Bears, 3-1, in winners bracket play on Saturday afternoon at Lamson Park.
The win extended UL's current win streak over Baylor to six-consecutive games.
The win moves Louisiana into Championship Sunday with an unbeaten record, only one win away from advancing into an NCAA Super Regional for the fourth-consecutive year, including the fifth time in the last six years.
Down 1-0 early, UL scored two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, before adding an insurance run in the bottom half of the sixth, to capture the come-from-behind 2-run victory.
The Cajuns, the top-seed in the tournament, and the #13-overall national seed, await whoever comes back through the elimination bracket between Baylor, Mississippi St., and Weber St.
Baylor scored the first run of the game, plating a run in the top half of the second inning, when Caitlin Charlton walked with two outs, moved to third on an infield single by Jessie Scroggins, and scored on an infield single off the bat of Robin Landrith, giving them a 1-0 lead.
Louisiana took the lead in the bottom half of the fifth inning, when DJ Sanders singled, and later scored on a ground ball off the bat of Hayley Hayden, before Lexie Elkins drove home Aleah Crayton with a sacrifice fly, giving them a 2-1 advantage.
The Cajuns added an insurance run in the bottom half of the sixth inning, when Leandra Maly walked with two outs, moved to second on a Sanders single, and scored on a single to right by Crayton, widening their lead to 3-1, and wrap-up the scoring.
Sanders led Louisiana at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a run scored, as UL outhit Baylor, 5-4.
Jordan Wallace (17-5) record the win in the circle for the Cajuns, striking out seven batters, while Heather Stearns (20-12) suffered the loss for the Bears.
With the victory, Louisiana improved to 41-9 on the season, while Baylor fell to 39-16.
The Cajuns advance to Championship Sunday, to take on either Baylor, Mississippi St., or Weber St.
First-pitch is scheduled for 6 o'clock.
If Louisiana wins, they win the regional. If they lose, an "if necessary" game would be played about 30 minutes following the completion of the first game.
Baylor falls into the elimination bracket where they will play at 8:30 pm against the winner of the Mississippi St./Weber St. game, with the survivor moving on to take on Louisiana.

Trinamool Congress leader and Raya Sabha MP Derek O’Brien held a press conference over the violence and the desecration of the bust of the reformist Ishwar Chanrdra Vidyasagar . And he blamed the BJP for the act.
O’ Brien lashed out at Amit Shah saying, “I do not have words to condemn the incident. I am myself ashamed… that, as people of Bengal, we cannot respect Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar because of these BJP goons. These leaders will be leaders of the nation? Those who cannot respect icons?”
Answering a question on Amit Shah’s presser where the BJP president alleged that the TMC was responsible for the violation and the desecration, O’Brien said, “Amit Shah is a con-master. Amit Shah is a liar.”
“Anybody can come and do a procession, but what were the outsiders doing there… Who is this fellow Tejinder Bagga? Who is he? He was arrested, is he not the same guy who slapped somebody in Delhi? You have taken in your outsider goons.
“BJP hired goons from outside. We are not alleging that the BJP is responsible for the desecration of the Vidyasagar’s statue, we have proof that they did it. The video is proof. “

During the Dodgers’ sale process, Frank McCourt said that he was selling the team and the Stadium, but not the parking lots. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE said that the sale HAD to include the parking lots and that Frank McCourt just needed to leave town ASAP. Then we heard that Guggs and Company bought the team and paid a whopping Half Billion more that the next bidder and we naturally assumed that they paid the premium in order to get the land.
Frank McCourt evidently has retained half ownership of the land, although the details are not forthcoming. Actually, that’s a mild way of putting it. The reality is that Guggs and Company and Frank McCourt are stonewalling fans and MLB about the details of this transaction. Guggs and Company and Frank McCourt are evidently partners in this enterprise and they don’t want you, me or MLB to know what they are up to. But, they are up to something! I’m not saying it’s bad, but why would Guggs and Company overpay by a half billion and then turn around and let McCourt retain half interest in the land that could be worth that much as well?
Dodger fans are finally realizing that Magic Johnson is just the front man and has only slightly more control of the Dodgers than you or I. Have we been duped? I have no clue, but something is up and I am not sure what it is. When full disclosure is not imminent, it makes me wonder why. Dodger fans are restless and we see some of their feelings in THE LA TIMES:
“Please stop saying Magic and Co. when referring to the Dodgers’ new owners. If anything, it’s COMPANY & magic. I’ll have more to do with running the club than he will.”
“The new owners of the Dodgers must really think that Los Angeles fans are brain dead. … After seeing the article (April 17) and map breakdown of the new Dodger Stadium deal I saw the McCourt name tied to most of the deal … and to think that using Magic as their decoy would satisfy us. Shame on the whole thing! We wanted Frank McCourt just out of it all and the city of Los Angeles has been unbelievably set up and duped!”
- Jerry Hariston, Jr. made as fine of a play at 3B (overall) as I have ever seen. The ball was off the end of his glove as he dove for it down the line. He jumped up off the ground and immediately chased it at top spped into foul territory where he once again went to the ground to get it and threw to 2B to get the runner. It was a play that was made by pure hustle, pure experience and pure baseball understanding. Most players would never make that play because they wouldn’t have done everything necessary to do it. He showed his hustle throughout the game. I have a lot of respect for Jerry. He’s just not an everyday player, but he’s a great sub.
- Many Dodger fans complained that the Dodgers did not offer O-Dog arbitration a couple of years ago. Maybe this gives a glimpse why. From BaseballTradeRumors.com:
The Padres have the worst record in baseball at 3-12, and a shake-up could be on the horizon. Scott Miller of CBSSports.com reports that they are prepared to release Orlando Hudson if the veteran second baseman does not turn things around soon.
Hudson, 34, is hitting just .156/.191/.200 with one stolen base in 47 plate appearances this season, and Miller hears he has been a “non-presence” with younger players in the clubhouse. Utility infielder Andy Parrino started consecutive games at second base earlier this week. Hudson’s release could coincide with the return of infield prospect Logan Forsythe, who will resume workouts this weekend after undergoing ankle surgery this spring.
Hudson signed a two-year, $11.5MM contract with San Diego last offseason. He is owed $5.5MM this season and the $2MM buyout of his $8MM club option for next season. The Padres will still have to pay him the full $7.5MM should they decide to cut ties.
- Another nice win by the Dodgers last night, but someone needs to get untracked unless we think Matt Kemp can hit .481 with 92 HR and 230 RBI (which is what he is on pace to do).
- Hopefully Clayton Kershaw can finally win a game today. I mean, you give a guy a big deal and he just tanks it!
- I will be in LA for the three game series with the Atlanta Braves next week.


text: Christodoulakis wants frugal public utilities, overhaul of fiscal auditing Economy and Finance Minister Nikos Christodoulakis yesterday told listed public utility chiefs to rein in rate increases in 2004 and avoid favoritism in hirings during the pre-election period. He asked them to limit hikes to the minimum possible to avoid fueling inflation, keep borrowing at this year’s levels and not to make any social insurance concessions in the collective bargaining agreements that would lead to a rise in labor costs. Separately, the government unveiled a draft bill providing for an overhaul of the fiscal auditing system in public spending which focuses only on certain expenses. The new system means a departure from present formal controls toward an evaluation of management systems and internal audits, both in the ministry itself and the recipient organizations of public funds. The bill provides for internal auditing units and the gradual achievement of balanced budgets in all public organizations with budgets of more than 5 million euros, including public utilities, local government authorities and social insurance funds. State budgets will have to be balanced after 2004 and those of public enterprises within five years. The document, which has been two years in the making, provides for the setting up of five powerful fiscal control centers and a central ministry committee which will evaluate audits and monitor the professional conduct of auditors. Another committee will be responsible for checking the property declarations of Finance Ministry staff and tax officials. SETE says the future is in special forms of tourism Greece has the potential to attract 20.3 million tourists annually and boost its related currency earnings to $15 billion by 2010, on condition it begins now to develop infrastructure for special forms of tourism that can even out the industry’s strong seasonal fluctuations, the Association of Greek Tourist Enterprises (SETE) said in a study. The list of such facilities – «ambitious but not unfeasible» – includes 46 golf courses, 15 autonomous conference and exhibition centers, 24 thalassotherapy centers and 42 marinas. SETE also estimates the country will need to boost its hotel capacity by 175,380 beds in establishments of the better categories. Achievement of the target will mean that Greece will increase its market share in Europe from 3.25 percent in 2000 to 3.86 percent by 2010, and in the world from 1.88 to 2.02 percent. Visitors’ spending would rise from $704 per head in 2000 to $738 by 2010, at constant prices. According to the study, Greece will have to aim for the average duration of visitors’ stay to remain at the present level of 10 days.

This is the pattern that we see whenever Democrats are 'fully' in power in our country. The first thing they do is revel in their great victory and decry all the 'mean' policies of their predecessors. Next they begin making claims and promises which always end up with the 'Rich' paying their fair share.
Finally, like kids in a candy store, they begin spending 'Our' money like drunken sailors and anyone who expresses caution gets labeled 'mean spirited' or 'homophobic' and yes 'racist'. Invariably their programs and plans will fail and we end up where we are today.
On a side note, Bill Clinton did the same thing but by this point in his first term he was negotiating with Republicans on reforming welfare and other conservative key values. Any good thing Clinton is remembered for is a result of allowing conservative proposals to make it into public discussion and then seeing it pass into law.
Back to Barry. So here we are with nearly 3 years down and one to go, the coffers are empty, republicans have won a Historic election in the mid term elections, Bam's piggy bank has been sealed, the people are ready for relief from the deficit spending and 1% growth. Now Obama is been threatening to give us another speech..this time about a 'NEW' jobs program that will fix EVERYTHING.
Now has just scheduled his speech with a joint session of congress on the exact time and date of a long scheduled Republican Debate where Rick Perry will have his first National platform. The idea apparently is to delay the inevitable, to let America become formally introduced to the candidates that all want Obama's job. While the liberal media has been mis-characterizing, and out right lying about all these candidates for months and months, Obama is working hand in hand with them to try and keep Americans from meeting these people to decide for themselves what to believe.
Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels was Adolf Hitler's propaganda minister in Nazi Germany during world war II. He led the campaign against the Jewish people. Goebbels was quoted as saying:
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it"
In conclusion, the Democrats are once again in over their heads, they have no one left to criticize and they have no ideas of their own. In Obama's upcoming speech will he defy any common sense and continue to press for spending money we don't have and continue push the lie that taxing the rich will pay for all of it? It is this bloggers opinion that he will not give credence to any conservative ideas. He will continue to divide the country into the 'us' and 'them' and hope the politics of hate will prevail in the 2012 elections.
Over the Labor Day weekend Sarah Palin is going to be making an announcement, could it be she throws her hat into the presidential ring? This is not the republican field of John McCain and Mitt Romney. Today we have actual conservatives with double digit poll numbers who pose a serious threat to the Obama's.
We still have a long way to go, Obama has a lot of time to do a lot of damage if we are not vigilant

As hard as it was, a challenging year like 2019 can still yield applicable insights. The important thing to do is carefully weigh all the factors that can impact your results and examine the data in light of those factors. This past spring, I asked an intern to work a plot and as he began to work the ground I found myself thinking “that may be the worst decision I have made in my 35-year ag career”.
This season will also impact how we think about future decisions as it relates to soil tests and soil testing. I asked my friend Jamie Bultemeier, an agronomist with A&L Great Lakes Laboratories, to share his thoughts on the impact of 2019.

No, this isn’t an article about healthy food choices to lower your cholesterol, control high blood pressure, or to set a calorie goal.
However, feeding a crop and managing its diet is just as important as feeding our own families and making sure they are healthy. Just because my corn looks fine, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it has everything it needs to grow strong and healthy. So, how does soil fertility play into the health and well-being of the crops we grow?

If you live in the Philippines, I bet you are already familiar with the kpop girl group 2NE1 since their first song "Fire" way back in 2009 which was 13 years ago. Almost every Filipino know 2NE1 because of Sandara Park or Dara and with their debut hit song as well "Fire" which I already mentioned.
I was 12 years old at that time when I knew about them because of their songs "Fire" and "I Don't Care".
I just casually listen to them because their songs are played on radio, TV shows, and they are even on lyrics songbook or something.
It was when I was in Grade 6, 2013 I guess, when I became a fan of them and up until now.
As a Blackjack (2NE1's fan), here are my favorite moments of my favorite KPOP girl group!
2NE1 debuted on May 17, 2009. It was my 8th birthday. I probably don't have any idea back then when they debuted, but I consider this a favorite moment because this is their start of being a legend as a new k-pop girl group.
They released and performed their first song "Fire" which literally was a fire song back then because it was a well-known song and they also immediately become a popular new group.
I grew up listening to 2NE1 songs ever since their very first release of "Fire". I was still a kid back then but I still remember how popular the song was in our country which is the Philippines. I guess one of the factors why it became so popular is because of Sandara Park, who is known to be the Pambansang Krung Krung back then. It was also popular in other countries. Followed by their next song "I Don't Care" which has also become a hit. I can still vividly remember that we had a song hit book back then wherein you can see the lyrics of famous songs. And I would sing their songs even though it is in the Korean language.
When I stepped on Grade 6, that's where I started to become a fan of 2NE1 or a Blackjack (2NE1 fan). I had my other 3 friends back then, so we are 4 in total that started to become very into 2NE1. And since they have 4 members and we are 4 too, there were times where we pretended that we were 2NE1. Hahaha. Such fun times.
This was on May 17, 2014. I turned 13 years old by this time while 2NE1 celebrated their 5th year anniversary at Mall of Asia Arena, Manila, Philippines.
I didn't get to attend because I was still very young and had no money at that time. Even though it's impossible... how I hope that they'll have a concert again now that I'm a grown-up and have enough money to attend their concert.
Everyone thought that CL was the only one who's gonna perform, but CL secretly invited her whole group and gave a surprise performance. I was 14 years old at this time and I cried watching them perform.
This one is very recent, it was just this April. CL was the only one that was invited but she brought the other 2NE1 members again with her because she really want and love to perform with them. I'm glad that 88rising agreed. CL, the best leader indeed!
This performance of them was the #1 trending worldwide. Even if 2NE1 was on a long hiatus and was disbanded, people still acknowledge them as one of the most legendary kpop groups.
Those are my favorite 2NE1 moments as a Blackjack (2NE1's fandom). I will forever support them as a group and individually. ❤

Michael Floyd and Harrison Smith remain the second-best prospects in the NFL draft among receivers and safeties, respectively, according to Mel Kiper Jr. But both have been steadily climbing up the draft boards ever since their impressive combine performances nearly two weeks ago.
Each player moved up three spots this week on Kiper's Big Board, with Floyd coming in at No. 12 and Smith at No. 18. Only Floyd makes the cut in Kiper's and Todd McShay's third mock drafts, released Wednesday.
Offensive line would be the more obvious pick here, but I want to see what the Cardinals do in free agency first. Floyd would be a great complement to Larry Fitzgerald in that offense, and give the Cardinals an enviable pair of guys that can work underneath, go deep and also post up smaller defensive backs in the red zone. Outside of the offensive line, Floyd is as much as you could do to help a quarterback.
McShay, like many, thinks Floyd is Chicago-bound at No. 19.
Chicago needs a big target who can make plays downfield and take advantage of the strong arm of QB Jay Cutler, and while Floyd isn't the most sudden athlete he shows on tape the ability to be an impact player in the vertical passing game. Running a 4.47-second 40-yard dash at the combine helped solidify him as a top-25 prospect.

Had there been clear-cut evidence that New York Post gossip writer Jared Paul Stern had tried to extort money or demand a bribe in exchange for ceasing negative portrayals of a supermarket billionaire, the FBI was prepared to arrest Stern as soon as the words tumbled out of his mouth in a secretly recorded meeting at the billionaire's Manhattan loft, a senior law enforcement official told ABC News.
But there was not. And the billionaire, Ron Burkle, has now taken his case to the media, specifically to a rival tabloid -- the New York Daily News -- fueling a bruising, old-fashioned war for readership and advertising.
While the entire affair may at first seem like a sordid tempest in a tabloid, it throws a harsh light on the practices of celebrity and entertainment journalism -- where gift-taking and special treatment for reporters, as well as gift-giving and special treatment for guests and subjects of flattering cover stories -- are routine but usually hidden from readers and viewers.
According to law enforcement officials, an FBI agent and a federal prosecutor listened in, made suggestions and gave advice during the second of two videotaped interviews between the aggrieved billionaire and the sketchy scribe.
But there was not enough evidence to bring the reporter in on charges, and now the case is in the preliminary stages of an FBI investigation to determine whether there ever will be enough to bring to a federal grand jury and win an indictment.
Burkle spokesman Michael Sitrick contended to ABC News that the investigation is on-going.
Stern has come out swinging against Burkle, telling ABC News, "I was the one who was targeted'' and claiming he was "set up'' by Burkle.
Stern said that Burkle contacted him last summer through a mutual friend in an effort to reduce the number of negative items appearing about him on Page Six.
On a videotape recorded by Burkle's security cameras and partially transcribed in the New York Daily News, Stern is reportedly heard describing working with the Post's Page Six as a "little like the mafia … a friend of yours is a friend of mine."
Stern's attorney Joseph Tacopina goes even further, charging on Monday that "he was entrapped by a paranoid billionaire with an ax to grind and secrets he was desperate to protect.''
"As to what occurred in the meetings between Messrs. Burkle and Stern," the statement added, "the tapes are very clear as to what Mr. Stern said and what he didn't say. They are also clear with respect to what Mr. Stern meant.''
Stern has retained Joseph Tacopina, the high-profile defense attorney who represents former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik and Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch teen believed to be the last person to see Alabama teen Natalee Holloway alive on the island of Aruba last spring.
In an interview with ABC News' senior legal correspondent Chris Cuomo over the weekend, Stern previewed his defense. He promised a "strong statement setting forth the true nature of the relationship and my feelings about being the one who was targeted."
Stern repeated to ABC News his claim that his "main interest'' in Burkle was as an investor in Stern's clothing line, Skull & Bones. Burkle's spokesman flatly denied that Burkle was interested in the clothing line.
