ICYMI: New Bengals in New Roles Part 1: What it Means for Gruden’s Offense

Even the most unaware fan is aware that the Bengals just went through OTAs from hearing two discussions. The first is how Andy Dalton is improving when throwing the deep ball, and the second is how Jay Gruden is expanding his voluminous playbook.
Hearing the stories about Orson Charles moving to an H-back role and Giovani Bernard lining up at wide receiver, I began looking into what that might mean for a possible facelift for Gruden’s offense. We’re going to more deeply into this in the future, but let’s take a look at why this might happen.
While I have not always been on board with the encyclopedia-sized playbook, the indications from this offseason point towards a different type of expansion. Although Jay Gruden arrived in town with the same playbook that he used with Jon in Tampa Bay, he has shown an increasing willingness to inject that early-generation West Coast offense with some zest and creativity.
First of all, look no further than Jon. While rumors were connecting him to the University of Tennessee coaching job, he was playing coy about his interest in the collegiate spread offense. His “secret” interest was less well-guarded than a “leaked” iPhone prior to a new launch, and was even photographed studying Tennessee on an airplane.
Plus, Jon began studying the spread offense with Chip Kelly as soon as Tampa Bay fired him following the 2008 season. Jon’s offensive system until then, however, was developed under Bill Walsh disciples Mike Holmgren and Paul Hackett, the latter of which was a conservative, power-running advocate. Hackett was with Walsh in the early years in San Francisco, and later calling the conservative shots for the Martyball-era Chiefs.
With Jon’s traditionally built West Coast offense being the biggest influence on Jay’s system, it makes sense to look at Jon’s coaching tree to find hints of what offensive elements we might see injected into the Bengals this season.


Nascar driver Tony Stewart's team is in "close communication" with its 17 official partners and sponsors, but most are refraining from commenting beyond offering condolences to the family of Kevin Ward Jr., the driver whom Mr. Stewart struck and killed two days ago during a race.
A spokesman for one sponsor, Bad Boy Buggies, said late Monday afternoon that the marketer is committed to Mr. Stewart. "First of all, let me say that all of us at Bad Boy Buggies are deeply saddened by the tragic accident that occurred Saturday night, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and loved ones of Kevin Ward Jr.," he said in a statement. "We remain committed to our partnership with Tony Stewart Racing."
Another partner, an animal disaster response nonprofit called Code 3 Associates, issued a similar statement. "Code 3 Associates will remain firmly in support of the Stewart-Haas Racing," spokesman Timothy Winski said.
Others stuck with statements of sympathy. "We are aware of the tragic accident that took place over the weekend," a Coca Cola spokeswoman wrote in an email. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Kevin Ward's family, and with Tony and the Stewart-Haas race team."
"We are deeply saddened by the tragic accident that occurred on Saturday involving Kevin Ward Jr. and Tony Stewart," wrote Cheri Quigley, a corporate communications manager for Oakley. "Our thoughts are with the families and friends affected during this difficult time."
Mr. Stewart's list of other partners and sponsors includes Chevrolet, Mobil 1, Rush Truck Centers, Arctic Cat, GoDaddy, Haas, Aspen Dental, State Water Heaters, Simpson, New Balance, Celeballs.com and Featherlite Trailers.
Many of his partners did not respond to Ad Age by press time, but Mr. Stewart's team said it has been in touch. "We have been in close contact with all of our corporate partners," said Brett Frood exec VP, Stewart-Haas Racing. "While they are all thinking about the family and friends of Kevin Ward Jr., they also care about the emotional well-being of Tony, and they are very supportive of him during this difficult time."
"It was a tragic accident that happened and it is an emotional time for all involved," he added. "Our partners realize this and we continue to be in close communication with all of them."
Though there have been some calls to press charges against Mr. Stewart, Ontario County (N.Y.) Sheriff Philip Povero told reporters over the weekend that he is keeping his options open.
Jim Andrews, senior VP at sponsorship consultancy IEG, isn't surprised by the muted response. "Usually the sponsors take a step back and wait while there's an investigation going on," he said.
"I think in this situation," Mr. Andrews said, "where there's enough gray area of whether he did anything wrong or not, and given the fact he's had such long-term positive relationships, I don't think there's a lot to be gained from coming out and saying 'We're going go in another direction.'"
After Greg Zipadelli, VP-communications for Stewart-Haas Racing, initially told reporters Saturday that everything would be "business as usual" and that Mr. Stewart would race Sunday at Watkins Glen, Mr. Stewart reversed course and pulled out of two races he was scheduled to compete in: Watkins Glen, and a dirt track race at Plymouth Speedway.


He makes an unlikely hero: he's the ultimate know-it-all, has real issues with commitment and is constantly in trouble
of one kind or another.
Not to mention the fact that he's got two hearts, is almost a millenium old, and comes from another planet.
Yet for 10 incarnations and counting, Doctor Who has been Britain's favourite alien.
If you were to pitch the idea today, the focus groups would laugh it out of the room. A crotchety old man lives in a police
box with his granddaughter, and has the ability to travel through time and space which he uses to kidnap a couple of nosy
teachers and whisk them back to Paleolithic times.
But since that first episode in November 1963, the nation has been glued to the TV set for the Doctor's adventures.
There were scary monsters for the children, distant planets and amazing science for the geeks, and attractive young companions
for the dads – not to mention the cliffhanger endings that kept the audience hooked.
In retrospect, the show possessed a unique set of ingredients for long-term success.
Using his transport – the TARDIS -Time and Relative Dimension in Space – the Doctor could go anywhere, see
The convenient device of "regeneration" meant that whenever an actor tired of playing this alien do-gooder, a replacement
could step in (up to a notional limit of 13).
The Doctor's companions could be exchanged with even greater ease when things got stale, while the possible settings were
limited only by the writers' imaginations.
Admittedly, the show's budget also played a part - hence all those alien planets that bore a convenient resemblance to
the gravel pits off the M25.
As time went on, the Doctor inevitably accrued a mythology around him, meticulously chronicled by his more devoted fans.
His home planet was called Gallifrey; his people were called Time Lords; he was an exile, or a fugitive, or a wanderer
(save for a brief period in the 1970s, when his compatriots, mindful of the BBC's expenses policy, exiled him to Earth).
Yet wherever he came from, and whichever human actor he resembled, the fundamentals were the same: a bright, eccentric
traveller pitches up in some far-flung place, accompanied by a robot dog, or curious teenager, or Bonnie Langford.
There, he discovers some sinister plot, which he thwarts in the most entertaining and seemingly accidental manner possible.
It was a winning formula, and at the show's height, under Tom Baker, the Fourth Doctor, it was attracting stratospheric
viewing figures: more than 16 million, on one occasion.
Quite a few of these must have been cowering behind the sofa, for a hero as brilliant as the Doctor needed villains who
were equally dastardly – the shrieky-voiced Daleks, the robotic Cybermen, the moustache-twirling Master, the Sontarans,
the Ice Warriors, the Rani ...
Some, however, did not quite hit the mark. The villainous Kandy Man, a giant creature made out of sweets and bearing a
startling resemblance to Bertie Bassett, would probably do more damage to your dental hygiene than the fabric of time and
In the end, however, the Doctor's most determined enemies were not the Daleks, but the BBC's executives – as ratings
fell and interest waned in the 1980s, they consigned the character, now played by Sylvester McCoy, to the dustbin.
The fact that he returned, more popular than ever, is thanks to the Doctor's greatest allies: writer and executive producer
Russell T Davies and his team.
When 21st-century executives decided to gamble on a revamped version of Doctor Who, they brought in the Welshman –
a childhood fan, but most famous as the creator of the ground-breaking gay drama series Queer as Folk rather than as action-adventure
He claims to have merely “restored [the show] to its former glory”, but he has done more: he has reinvented
Saturday-night telly, creating a series that families can watch together, with enough pizzazz for the children and enough
depth for the adults.
His Doctor, played first by a leather-jacketed Christopher Ecclestone and then by a trenchcoated David Tennant, is a more
modern and more complex figure: younger and sexier, yes – but also lonelier, the last survivor of a mysterious Time
War that swallowed both his own race and their arch-enemies, the Daleks (although, as we have found out repeatedly over the
past four years, you can't keep a good villain down).
Perhaps Davies's most impressive accomplishment is to explain why this time-travelling tourist has quite so many of his
adventures on present-day Earth.
This is down to the Doctor's companions – Martha Jones, Donna Noble, but most particularly Rose Tyler, played by
As David Tennant, the current incumbent has said, Rose and the Doctor are the new John Steed and Emma Peel - even if, as
he also admitted, the age gap (he is 900, she 19) makes them more like Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
But despite this gulf in age, experience and even species, the modern companions are are our window into the Doctor's world,
with far more to do than simply run, scream and feed the Doctor straight lines: their connections to their families, and to
the troubled Time Lord, are the heart of the series.
Tomorrow's finale to his fourth season is the ultimate showdown between the Doctor, the Daleks and their creator Davros,
and Davies has thrown everything into the mix – including Rose's long-awaited return.
Yet his comment that “for all the spectacle, it's about character” reflects his approach to the series as a
whole: we – and quite probably the Doctor – are more worried that at least one of the three companions is slated
for extermination than that the entire universe is seemingly doomed.
The new Doctor is modern in another way, too: he is not a character, but a brand.
There were spin-offs of the old series – films starring Peter Cushing and the Daleks, countless tie-in books –
but the 21st-century hero has been merchandised with a ruthlessness the Cybermen might envy.
From the show's Cardiff studios have poured out DVDs, books, stickers, remote-controlled Daleks, voice-changer masks, action
figures, as well as two spin-off series: the more adult Torchwood, starring Captain Jack Harkness, an immortal “omnisexual”,
and The Sarah Jane Adventures, a children's series featuring one of the Doctor's former companions.
“We turned down a request for Dr Who-branded yoghurts because people are so concerned about what children eat right
now,” Davies recalled. “I said yes to a Dalek hot water bottle, though.
But despite all this success, the Doctor has come to a crossroads.
Tomorrow's episode, which 10 million people are expected to watch, will be almost the last for Davies: after a few one-off
specials this year and next, including the now-traditional Christmas episodes, he will hand over the reins to Steven Moffat,
another writer who had nurtured his love for Doctor Who during the series' long absence, and who has contributed many of the
new show's best, and scariest, episodes.
When the series proper returns in 2010, we do not know which of the Doctor's companions will still be there, nor even whether
Tennant will still be in the role.
However, for millions of fans, new and old, the future is still promising.
“We've set it up in such a way that it should be around for 20-30 years yet,” believes Davies.
If Moffat can equal his deft touch, the Doctor should have plenty more opportunities to save the day – and send those
children scurrying behind the sofa.

Each of the three ingredients have clinical studies that show their benefits for a healthy urinary tract.
Pacran® helps maintain long-term urinary tract health
PreforPro® supports a healthy bacterial-biome balance
DE111® provides resilient, beneficial probiotic bacteria
The Urinary Tract Support formula combines years of work and development into one supplement.
Pacran® is a natural, whole-cranberry product made from North American cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon). Pacran® uses a patent-protected, proprietary extraction method to retain the goodness in these valuable fruits. While A-PACs (A-type proanthocyanidins) are the star compounds in cranberries, they also contain vitamins A, C and K, quercetin, myricetin, potassium and calcium. Pacran® is well-supported by academic studies at this dose for the support of urinary tract health.1-5
Traditional, fiber-based prebiotics are associated with bloating and gas. PreforPro® represents the next step in prebiotic technology. PreforPro® is a carefully chosen blend of bacteriophages that attack the cell walls of some bad bacteria, leaving good bacteria to live happily. The dose of PreforPro® in Urinary Tract Support has been shown to effectively reduce E. Coli in the gut, along with other benefits.6
DE111® can support normal, healthy digestion while inhibiting several strains of pathogenic bacteria. It has also been associated with lower body fat in training female athletes.7-9
DE111® is super resilient in supplements, and can form almost-indestructible spores that can ensure its beneficial survival. B. subtilis can even produce more than 20 types of antibiotic to fight against other microorganisms.10
Urinary Tract Support provides active support for urinary and immune system health.
Pacran® provides potent, standardized A-type proanthocyanidins (A-PACs). Multiple studies have demonstrated that cranberry A-PACs can help maintain a healthy urinary tract. Researchers’ best explanation is that A-PACs can prevent some harmful bacteria attaching to the body.1-4,11
Probiotics have well-known benefits for the immune system, and support a healthy balance of the natural beneficial, neutral, and pathogenic bacteria. What’s special about the DE111® strain in Urinary Tract Support is that it’s incredibly resilient, and has the ability to produce basically invulnerable spores that ensure its long-term survival. Other benefits of DE111® include supporting digestion and digestive health.7,9,12
The PreforPro® in Urinary Tract Support is a uniquely active prebiotic that uses four strains of ‘bacteriophage’ that can destroy certain types of pathogenic (bad) bacteria, including E. Coli. PreforPro® has been shown to be both safe as a dietary supplement and beneficial to the gut microbiota (the balance of good and bad bacteria). Prebiotics in general offer a new and exciting approach to the support of digestive, immune system and general health.6,13
We're proud of our quality, service and value.
Already a customer?
I'm a big fan of Urinary Tract Support, specifically because it includes probiotics and bacteriophages both. Not many other urinary tract supplements include these, and I believe they make a big difference. I haven't had troubles since beginning the bottle, and I have partied like it's 1999 (yes I was partying then too!).
Yes, I would recommend this product
These capsules are tiny so they are easy to swallow. I have high hopes for the effectiveness. I love that the cranberries are extracted whole. They seem to be working well. Initially, I was skeptical but after stressed out days taking them I have been a-ok, so they must be doing something. I would recommend these pills for anyone who can easily get burning nether-regions.
Yes, I would recommend this product
Made in the USA from global ingredients
Sourced from a GMP certified facility
Manufactured in an FDA registered facility
Third Party Lab Tested
Some of the ingredients in Urinary Tract Support are very popular in the health and science media:
“NIH study finds probiotic Bacillus eliminates Staphylococcus bacteria”
“Cranberries contain compounds called proanthocyanidins, which prevent E. coli bacteria from attaching to the lining of your urethra and bladder”
“Ingesting probiotics are only half the healthy gut microbiome equation; effective prebiotics are the other half that encourage resident beneficial bacteria to populate.”

Ambient AI is a nice way to ensure you don't get people stuck for long periods of time and out of frustration lose interest in the game but I'm not a fan of it. I would rather have them stick to making difficulty levels. That way if you want to play the game for fun you can put it on easy and if you want a real challenge you can out it on a higher setting. Developers should put more time into creating more realistic AI and differentiating that in the varying difficulty levels. Your thoughts?

Vespa T5 (VNX5T) 1985 - 1992
Piaggio produced the T5 as a sport version for the P range following on from its predecessors, the GS and SS. Although the main frame was simply a P range frame with a section welded on the back and floor mats instead of runners, thats were the similarities ended. The 5 transfer port engine was completely new, following the engine casing layout of the P range it had a new cylinder, crankshaft, flywheel and redesigned driveshaft layout that later became standard fitment on all P range. The redesigned headset had a square headlight and rev counter. A small windscreen was fitted to the headset and spoiler to the bottom of the frame, a redesigned horn cover and a one piece cut down front mudguard finished the look.

Police in Ferguson, Missouri, will begin testing a “less lethal” gun attachment on Thursday that would hurt suspects but not necessarily kill them. If the attachment is formally adopted, Ferguson’s would become the first police department in the country to use the technology, manufactured by Alternative Ballistics of California, NBC affiliate KSDK reported. “It gives you just one more opportunity to neutralize the subject without killing him,” Mayor James Knowles III told the station. “But we also can’t guarantee that they wouldn’t be killed.”
The attachment is placed on the barrel of the gun, and when the weapon is fired, the exiting bullet embeds itself into an alloy projectile. That projectile would “send a shock wave of pain through the suspect without the internal damage that a penetrating bullet would cause,” according to Alternative Ballistics.
Critics of the technology say it puts officers’ lives in danger. That’s because the attachment can be used only once, and during an altercation, the officer would be spending valuable seconds deciding whether to use it and affixing it to the service weapon, said former St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch. “The thought of actually implementing something like this, I think, would be very dangerous for police officers because these situations happen very quickly and you’d better be ready,” he told KSDK.
Knowles said that the technology would only be used when an officer potentially has to use deadly force — not during civil unrest or protests. Ferguson was the scene of several days of unrest last year after the deadly shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by white officer Darren Wilson. The mayor added that police are testing the attachment at a gun range, but it’s still far from being introduced on the streets. “We think it’s worthwhile to explore, but we’re still in the exploratory phase,” he said.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Farmers in a stretch of Illinois where most of the nation’s pumpkins are grown say their crop looks relatively smashing and is likely to be one of the few successes in a year when severe drought baked most of the nation’s heartland.
The drought forced thousands of ranchers to sell off cattle because pastures were too dry to graze, and corn and soybean farmers watched their plants wither in the summer sun. But John Ackerman said most of the pumpkins he planted fared “fantastic” for a simple, single reason: Pumpkins dig dry weather.
“Pumpkins have been kind of a bright spot in production this year,” said Ackerman, 51, whose farm near Morton, Ill., has been in his family for more than a century.
Pathology may help explain why pumpkins coped better than most crops at beating the heat. A relative of squashes, cucumbers, watermelons and cantaloupe, pumpkins tend to thrive in warm, temperate climates that stave off fungus, mold and other rind-rotting diseases that spread in wet conditions, said Dan Egel, a plant pathologist with Purdue University’s extension.
Also, pumpkins grown from seeds — the most common way — have tremendous root systems that reach deep into the ground, enabling them to reach moisture that corn and other crops without taproots cannot find.
“I think we’re going to have a pretty decent crop of pumpkins,” Egel said.
Ackerman said he planted about 70 percent of his 30 acres of pumpkins in May, and that portion did well. He planted the rest of his pumpkins in late June and early July, about the time the drought really took hold, and they “sat in dust for a while” but are finally turning orange now.
It’s a sharp — and welcome — break from recent years, when soggy conditions have hurt the nation’s pumpkin production.

An architect from Israel. Both the past and future can be constructed or destroyed, literally, through what we choose to build, protect and create in the physical world. No more so than in the Middle East, where the Israeli and Palestinian conflict is acted out through the architecture and physical planning on the land. Behind the seemingly down to earth work of Israeli spatial planners lies a reality which is actively reshaping the land into a divided state. While for Israeli towns and villages a future is constructed, the so-called ‘unrecognized Arab villages’ remain blank areas on planners drawings, or are literally wiped off the map. A territorial battle is now being fought with spatial planners tools. Shoshan founded FAST, the Foundation for Achieving Seamless Territory, to challenge the ethnocratic planning system in Israel.

BBC bosses defend Fawlty Towers editing
BBC bosses have come under fire for censoring racist language in a re-run of classic 1970s sitcom Fawlty Towers.
The vintage comedy, starring John Cleese as manic hotelier Basil Fawlty, was broadcast by the channel earlier this month, but many fans were outraged when they realised one episode had been edited.
A scene featuring a disparaging reference to the Indian national cricket team was cut, prompting a wave of protest online, but a spokesman for the corporation insisted the language had to be censored for modern audiences, and even implied Cleese had approved the edit.
The representative tells the Daily Express newspaper, "We are proud of Fawlty Towers and its contribution to British television comedy. But public attitudes have changed since it was made and it was decided to make minor changes, with the consent of John Cleese's management, to allow the episode to transmit to a family audience."
what do you think?
O so that applies to Fawlty Towers but not other progs like 'Mrs Brown's Boys' - seems the BBC has differing standards. So how about a re-run of 'Till Death Us Do Part' ?
Absolutely pathetic. A recent remake of The Dambusters changed the name of Guy Gibsons dog to Digger from you know what. Always be suspicious of people who rewrite history as you never know what lies it leads to
Grrr! You can't just erase the bits of cultural history you don't like, stupid BBC. Leave it alone and perhaps do something about the Tweenies episode which featured a puppet Jimmy'S a vile...THAT was offensive and unbelieveably dim witted.
I don't agree with altering anything. It's too 1984 ish. Let history stand as it is. We cann't undo what happened and we should be grown up enough to accept the historical perspective

Here I am one week down the road from my big moment on TV. As a result of the programme I have received several queries about stain removal and other household hints. It has given me the idea to devote one day a week to these little tips. From now to the end of the year I hope to include uses for the following items that most of us have in our homes.
Tooth paste – non gel
Denture cleaning tablets
White sewing cotton
Now I begin with a personal mishap with hot port at the weekend. My houseguests witnessed how I dealt with it. This is the carpet with an all-over pattern.
And here is the particular area where the port was spilled. The shot was taken after I cleaned it up.
I soaked up the excess liquid with an old towel and then rubbed gently with a baby wipe. We used two wipes in total and as you can see the stain has completely gone. I think I prefer this method to pouring the white wine on the stain. The wipes are supermarket own brand – fragrance free.
Now to answer the questions I received in the last week:
Q. Judy from Imagine asked; does vinegar work on feet as well as hands?
A I don’t see why not! When you put your hands or feet in the bowl or basin of vinegar it will feel like iced water.
Another tried and tested treat for feet is to add a capful of liquid fabric softener to a basin of hot – to warm water. Add feet and steep for 15 minutes! This makes nail cutting very easy 😉
Q. Emma wanted to know about a silver ring she was wearing at the sink while using bleach and now the silver has faded.
A. If the ring is pure silver try soaking it in 110mls of white distilled vinegar & 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda for two to three hours. Rinse well under cold running water; put the stopper in the plughole so you don’t lose the ring! Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Q. S Byrne enquires about cleaning non-slip floor tiles in a bathroom.
A. If the tiles are ceramic some cleaners will leave a residue like a smeary coating. Try 2 tablespoons of ammonia and 1 tablespoon of borax in 1 gallon of water and use a rag or chamois-type mop. Rinse the mop frequently and change the water as it becomes dirty.
Q. How to remove milky tea from a white carpet
A. Mix one tablespoon of liquid hand dishwashing detergent with two cups of warm water. Use a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with the detergent solution and blot until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat until the stain disappears or is no longer absorbed into the cloth.
If the stain remains, mix one tablespoon of ammonia with two cups of warm water. Sponge the stain with the ammonia solution and blot until the liquid is absorbed. Finally sponge with cold water and blot dry.
Q. Siobhan asked how to remove ball point marks from a white leather handbag
A. Dab full strength distilled white vinegar on the pen mark using a cloth or a sponge. Repeat until the marks are gone.

Of the 1 chemistry schools in Fairfield, the largest chemistry school, by student population, is Fairfield University. In 2010, Fairfield University graduated approximately 3 students with credentials in chemistry.
In 2010, 3 students graduated with a chemistry degree in Fairfield. If you decide to join their ranks, you can expect to pay an average of $37,490 per year in tuition costs.
In addition to tuition costs, plan on spending an average of $900 for chemistry related books and supplies each year. And if you live on campus, you will face an additional expense of $11,270 per year, on average, for room and board at Fairfield-based chemistry schools. Students who live at home can cut this cost down to approximately $40,790.
Many chemistry graduates choose to work as chemists after graduation. If you choose to follow that path and remain in Fairfield, your job prospects are not very good. In 2010, there were 940 chemists in Connecticut. Of these chemists, 410 were working in the greater Fairfield area. The government projects that the number of chemists in Fairfield will decrease by -6% by the year 2018. This anticipated change is slower than the projected nationwide trend for chemists.

The Russian embassy in Portugal has not received any notifications on the arrest of a Russian citizen in Rome on espionage charges from the Italian and Portuguese authorities, an embassy’s press attache said. “The embassy can not give official comments at the moment, as the official Portuguese authorities have not notified us on anything, although they should in such a case,” Evgeniy Skobkarev told RIA Novosti. The press attache added that there had also been no official confirmation by the Portuguese authorities that one of the arrested was a Russian citizen, such information was only reported by media. EU Judicial Agency Eurojust confirmed two arrests were carried out in Rome past weekend on a case related to Portuguese and Russian citizens, suspected of transferring confidential information to a foreign intelligence service for money.

Starkweather returned to jail
Matthew Starkweather was ordered back in a jail cell jail until his murder trial after spending less than 17 hours free on bond.
Calhoun County Circuit Court Judge John Hallacy ruled Friday that Starkweather violated the rules of his bond when he tested positive for alcohol during a breath test on Thursday.
Starkweather, 36, is charged with open murder in the Jan. 1, 2012, beating death of Leeroy Taylor, 45, inside the Iron Coffin Motorcycle Club at 15 Gilbert St. He had argued through his attorney that he was defending himself and Taylor died after the two men fought over a debt owed to Starkweather.
He has been arrested twice. On Monday, defense attorney J. Thomas Schaeffer argued that his client had spent 349 days in jail and was entitled under Michigan law to be released on a personal recognizance bond until his trial, which is expected in April or May.
Hallacy agreed and ordered Starkweather released from the Calhoun County jail but said he must remain confined to his home and wear an electronic GPS tether. Hallacy also said Starkweather was not allowed to consume alcohol as a condition of bond.
Starkweather was fitted with the tether and released from the jail at 5 p.m. Wednesday. He told the court he spent the night with his parents and son.
Thursday morning he reported at 9 a.m. to Community Corrections to review requirements while he is on bond.
Tiffany Jones, a case manager, and her supervisor, Jerold Lambert testified at the Friday morning hearing that they administered three breath tests to Starkweather. The first two showed his blood-alcohol level at .02 percent and a third at .01 percent.
Starkweather was then taken into custody and appeared with Schaeffer before Hallacy Friday.
Starkweather testified he didn't have any alcohol. Schaeffer argued that Crest toothpaste Starkweather used contains sorbitol, a sugar alcohol, and could give a false reading on the breath test.
"I did not have anything to drink," Starkweather testified. He also disputed a report by a sheriff's deputy who said monitors of Starkweather's tether showed he was outside the house three times between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. Thursday morning.
"I never left that house," he told the judge.
Starkweather's parents, Tom and Debra Starkweather, told the judge they spent Wednesday evening with their son, having a fried chicken dinner, talking and watching a movie before everyone went to bed. They said they removed alcohol from the house and never saw their son drinking.
But Victor Fitz, the Cass County Prosecutor assigned to the case as a special prosecutor, argued that Matthew Starkweather spent several hours alone and could have consumed alcohol without the knowledge of his parents.
Fitz argued that Starkweather was given three tests by two different people and each 15-minutes apart and that toothpaste would not trigger results.
"There is no proof that my client violated the court order," Schaeffer said. "No alcohol was being used. The prosecutor wants the court to speculate the worst. The parents were concerned for their son and took precautions to remove any alcohol from the home."
But Hallacy told Starkweather his testimony was not credible because he was argumentative with Fitz and accused witnesses from Community Corrections of lying.
The judge said the GPS shows Starkweather was outside the house and the breath test showed alcohol use.
"There were repeated positive tests over 45 minutes even after you rinsed your mouth. Just hours after you are released you test positive not once, not twice but three times. You tested positive for alcohol and your bond is revoked until trial."

(CN) – “Survivor” winner Richard Hatch asked the 1st Circuit to overturn his 9-month prison sentence.
Hatch won the $1 million prize in the first season of the CBS reality show, “Survivor.”
He later faced a 10-count indictment, in part for failing to report the prize money on his tax returns.
In 2006, a jury convicted Hatch of two counts of tax evasion and one count of filing a false tax return. A federal court slapped him with a 51-month prison sentence, followed by a three-year supervised release.
Hatch served 3 years in prison before his release in October 2009.
As part of the release, the court required Hatch to file amended tax returns for 2000 and 2001, and fork over the unpaid taxes, both of which he failed to do.
U.S. District Judge William Smith sentenced Hatch to another 9 months in prison for violating the terms of his release, which he is serving now.
Hatch argues in the brief that it wouldn’t have been appropriate for him to file the amended tax returns when he still had a case pending in tax court. He claims that in the meantime, he did cooperate with the IRS agents and kept his probation officers up to speed.
The brief says that without a decision from the tax court, Hatch didn’t know all of the information he needed for the returns or how much to pay in taxes.
Hatch points out that the federal court didn’t take into account whether he even had the resources to pay, which he says, violated his right to due process.
Hatch also contends that a nine-month sentence was inappropriate for what he regards in the brief as “at most, a technical violation.” The government had only asked for six months.
The reality show contestant seeks to have the appeals court remand the case to the district court for dismissal or further hearing.


DETROIT — The top legislative body of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) voted by large margins Thursday to recognize same-sex marriage as Christian in the church constitution, adding language that marriage can be the union of “two people,” not just “a man and a woman.”
The amendment approved by the Presbyterian General Assembly requires approval from a majority of the 172 regional presbyteries, which will vote on the change over the next year. But in a separate policy change that takes effect at the end of this week’s meeting, delegates voted to allow ministers to preside at gay weddings in states where the unions are legal and local congregational leaders approve. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia recognize same-sex marriage.
The votes, during a national meeting in Detroit, were a sweeping victory for Presbyterian gay-rights advocates. The denomination in 2011 eliminated barriers to ordaining clergy with same-sex partners, but ministers were still barred from celebrating gay marriages and risked church penalties for doing so.
Alex McNeill, executive director of More Light Presbyterians, a gay advocacy group, said the decisions Thursday were “an answer to many prayers.”
Article continues belowThe Rev. Krystin Granberg of the New York Presbytery, where the state recognizes gay marriage, said she receives requests “all the time” from friends and parishioners to preside at their weddings.
“They want to be married in the church they love and they want me to do it,” Granberg said during the debate. “I want pastoral relief.”
But Bill Norton, of the Presbytery de Cristo, which covers parts of Arizona and New Mexico, urged the assembly to delay any changes. “We are laying hands on something that is holy, that God has given us, so we need to be sure any changes we make are in accord with God’s will revealed in Scripture,” Norton said.

Verizon may have passed on the Samsung Galaxy Note, but that doesn’t mean that it is disinterested in tabletphones. According to an LG press release, consumers can expect the LG Optimus Vu sometime this quarter.
Furthermore, according to DroidLife, the device will be receiving a name change to the LG Intuition when announced by Big Red in the coming weeks. When available, consumers will supposedly be able to pick up the new tabletphone for $200 on a new 2-year contract, or $550 at full price.
With its large 5-inch display, this will be the first tabletphone from Verizon as it opted not to offer the slightly larger one from Samsung. After the release of the LG Intuition, HTC is expected to come out with the next mega-phone, though it is rumored to sport an impressive 1080p display, which the Intuition does not offer.
More Hardware Details:
The LG Intuition will sport a 5-inch IPS Touchscreen with a 1024 x 768 resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio. It will launch running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), but an upgrade to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) will be offered. According to LG, it will offer a 1.5 GHz dual-core CPU, with 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage capacity.

School started this week for Harrisburg School District students.
According to the district's 2012-2013 profile, there were 6,311 young people enrolled. Of those students, 3,835 were elementary (K-6); 952 secondary (7-8); and 1,524 high school (9-12).
That's about 13% of the Harrisburg's population attending city schools.
Those children and youth are entrenched in the controversy about Harrisburg's education system. It's a complex debate that involves leadership, resources, finances, policy, and academics. Nationally, urban education is a hot topic, and here it's no different.
In fact, the Harrisburg School District is considered the most deficient in the region.
That notion is supported by statistics and figures. In 2013, state assessment ranked the district 493rd out of 501 school districts based on reading, math, science and writing test scores.
It's also a financially distressed district. A state-appointed Chief Recovery Officer has been charged to oversee the district's finances in order to improve academic achievement.
Adjustments are being made and there seems to be a spirit of optimism as the new school year begins. Full day kindergarten has been restored, there's a budget surplus, and the district has embarked on initiatives to increase outreach to parents and the public.
It all comes down to providing an effective education to Harrisburg's children and youth. Amongst the debate, changes, and controversy the most important question is how do the people of the city and region help these students succeed?
Join me, Tara Leo Auchey, right here on Tuesday from noon-1:00 p.m. for a live chat about it.
Use the comment section below to pose your comments and questions. Feel free to do it before the chat begins to help jumpstart the conversation.
What topics would you like to discuss during these live Q&A with TLA chats?

Sterling C. Robertson
|Sterling C. Robertson|
October 2, 1785|
March 4, 1842 (aged 56)|
Robertson County, Texas
|Cause of death||Pneumonia|
Texas State Cemetery|
James Maclin Robertson w/Rachael Smith|
Elijah Sterling Clack Robertson w/Frances King
Sarah Maclin Robertson
Sterling Clack Robertson (1785–1842) was an empresario from Tennessee, during Mexican Texas. He introduced 600 families into Robertson's Colony. Robertson was also an elected delegate to the Washington-on-the-Brazos convention, signing both the Texas Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the Republic of Texas. He became a Senator during the first two sessions of the Congress of the Republic of Texas.
Early life in Tennessee
Sterling Clack Robertson was born one of five children on October 2, 1785, into a wealthy and influential slave-holding family in Nashville, Tennessee. Robertson received a private education from Judge John McNairy by request through Elijah Robertson's will and through his family connections. His father was Captain Elijah Robertson, who left Brunswick County, Virginia in the 18th Century to join family members and other early white settlers in Tennessee. Sterling's mother was Sarah Maclin Robertson. His paternal uncle James Robertson was an explorer known as the Father of Tennessee. His descendants were accomplished persons. Son Elijah Sterling Clack Robertson became a Colonel in the Republic of Texas militia, and built a plantation in Salado, Texas. Robertson's great-great-granddaughter was author Liz Carpenter, who was a press spokesperson for both President Lyndon B. Johnson and later for Ladybird Johnson. Robertson was a gray-eyed, sandy-haired man who stood 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m). He was known to be a hot-tempered ladies man who dressed in expensive tailored clothes. As a youth, Robertson was convicted of manslaughter of one of his cousins in Tennessee, but did not serve his five-month sentence until April 6 to September 1, 1832.
Texas Rangers and public service
In 1835, empresario Robertson formed his own rangers company to deal with Indian depredations at Robertson's Colony. Robertson was a delegate to the convention at Washington-on-the-Brazos. He signed both the Texas Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the Republic of Texas. He was also a Senator at the first two sessions of the Congress of the Republic of Texas
Personal life and death
According to his descendants, Robertson never married. However, he sired two sons by two different women. In addition to Elijah Sterling Clack Robertson with Frances King, he also fathered James Maclin Robertson with Rachael Smith. On December 18, 1837, Republic of Texas Senator Robertson got legislation passed that acknowledged both sons as his legitimate issue, and legally entitled to inherit his estate. The legislation was signed into law by Republic President Sam Houston:

Miffed by what they described as the insensitivity of the Federal Government to their plight, the people of Southern Kaduna in Kaduna State said on Thursday they would not vote for President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
They premised their position on their allegation that Jonathan “has shown that he cannot do anything to stop the killings” of the people of the area.
Three villages of Ugwar Sankwai, Ungwar Gata and Chenshyi, all in Kaura Local Government Area of the state were penultimate Saturday attacked by yet-to-be identified gunmen and over 100 residents killed and property worth millions destroyed.
Under the Concerned Realists of Southern Kaduna, they asked the President not to nurse the ambition of contesting the 2015 presidential election as they would not vote for him.
The Concerned Realists of Southern Kaduna comprises lecturers, technocrats, retired military officers, retired civil servants for the Southern part of the state.
The leader of the group, Dr. John Danfulani, while addressing a news conference in Kaduna over the killing of over 100 villagers in the Southern part of the state, said the president did not care about the people of the area and therefore must not expect their votes in 2015 if he contests the election.
He said, “President Jonathan does not care and therefore does not deserve the votes of the bleeding Southern Kaduna people in 2015. We cannot also be helpless and allow politicians take our existence for granted.
“We will mobilise our people to vote against Ramalan Yero, Namadi Sambo and Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 as a protest of their insensitivity to the killings in Southern Kaduna and their failure to honour our dead who have been slaughtered under their stewardship.”

$50 parking fee farcical – councillor
The Herald, March 23, 1979
DESPITE strong protests from some members, Salisbury City Council at its monthly meeting last night approved a charge of $50 a month for contract parking at the new Kingsway Parkade.
Councillor Peter Chalker called the $50 charge an “absolutely farcical fee”, and said to avoid the city council embarrassment, it should be reconsidered.
Councillor Timothy Stamps, a member of the town planning and works committee, which suggested the fee, said the charge was intended to be prohibitive.
It was intended to discourage people from renting parking space on a monthly basis, and then using it only once or twice in the month, thereby leaving unused space.
The City Engineer, Mr R. Mackenzie, said in his report to the town planning and works committee that past experience at the Jameson Parkade had shown that 20 percent of parking bays allocated to contract parkers were usually vacant.
He also reported that although the preferential parking reserved for contract parkers would guarantee them space, specific bays would not be allocated.
The total number of parking bays set aside for contract parkers would be floated on a daily-need basis.
The Kingsway Parkade is due to open in February next year, “provided nothing else falls down,” Dr Stamps said.
The city council last night fixed the charges that will come into operation when the 600-car parkade opens.
Casual parkers will pay 10c an hour or part thereof, to a maximum of 90c.
Cinema parkers will pay 20c a session and a fee of $1 will be charged for parking between midnight and 7am.
Councillor Ronald Cowan, chairman of the town planning and works committee, said the parkade, could best be used by casual shoppers who came into town for brief periods rather than to have a half-empty parkade where all the vacant bays were allocated to contract parkers.
Mr Chalker said the council become the laughing stock of the motoring community for charging $50 a month.
“A man is a fool if he pays this amount for parking, when he can’t get it half at night that price at a private parkade,” he said.
LESSONS FOR TODAY
Public institutions such as municipalities that are charged with offering vital services to members of the public are supposed to ensure that the prices that they charge for their services are not only fair but justifiable. The Harare City Council recently came under fire over the US$132 fine the local authority was charging for failing to pay parking fees on time.
When people are pushed into a corner, they engage in a defensive mode and they can also lash out in anger. Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume was last week forced to make concessions in terms of public parking regulations after an uproar from motorists over the heavy handedness of parking marshals, who were clamping all vehicles whose owners were delaying paying US$1 parking fees.
The Harare City Council should learn to address issues that are drilling holes in its finances such as corruption and desist from relying on punitive fines to raise money to boost its finances.


A couple weeks ago, I put together a google map with all of the Michigan bars I'm aware of (and also everything from the spreadsheet that bouje has been maintaining.) The map is here.
Hopefully this will prevent the "where's the Michigan bar in Pittsburgh/Fresno/Topeka/wherever" threads that pop up every week, but if your favorite gameday hangout isn't on here, put it in the thread and let me know. I'll do my best to keep the map up to date.
Thank You San Francisco,
Die Hard Michigan fan here and I personally couldn't Thank You enough for your stupid generocity. WOW~
Since the end of September I could have only prayed for something like this and did. Who do we thank, Bo, God or the stupidity of the San Fransico 49ers or/and the Brilliance of the University of Michigan, Wolverines?
Welcome Home Jim Harbaugh!
I am Thanking Everyone!
He shouldn't have blown up the golf course.
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Minnesota wide receiver Donovahn Jones has been dismissed from the program for what the school says is an unspecified violation of team policy.
The move was announced Sunday by the Gophers, who play Missouri on Thursday in the Citrus Bowl.
Jones, a sophomore, had 11 catches for 253 yards and two touchdowns and four carries for 42 yards this season.
However he is now directly calling out MGOBLOG for what appears to be a few individuals who didn't put any stock into what he was saying.
I personally was reading his blog and putting a decent amount of stock into what he said. It's sad to see a guy, who was much appreciated by many here, call out the blog as a whole.
Besides just to quit drinking and go to bed, what are some ideas for what to do from now until Tuesday Morning? Also, the retired jerseys, #1 jersey...basically jerseys in general are a little over analyzed, but Helmet Stickers.
Let's talk Helmet Stickers.
It's going to be a long day.
We've done these in the past and they've been a lot of fun. I look forward to seeing what everyone can make to honor our new coach. Here's my contribution.

General Arrangement drawings
Use the 3D structural steel model to create general arrangement drawings (GA drawings); anchor bolt plans, side views, floor plans, 3D views, sections, … Use filters and view limits to your advantage to quickly create the result you need.
Linked 3D model and 2D drawings
Each 2D section or detail is linked to the 3D model. When the 3D structure was changed, the general arrangement drawings are tagged as out of date and can be updated with a click of a button. Parabuild will get the latest info from the 3D structure to update the views and BOM. In doing this, Parabuild will keep your existing dimensions and annotations intact. When a part has moved or changed, any dimensions or annotations that refer to that part will be updated so that it measures the new location of the part.
Native DWG drawings
All generated drawings are stored in the DWG format, the most common and widely used format for 2D drawings. You can choose to keep the shop drawings in the same drawing as the 3D model, or as separate drawings
Native AutoCAD/BricsCAD dimensions
Unlike other steel detailing software Parabuild draws automatic dimensions directly with the native types provided by AutoCAD and BricsCAD. This makes your life a lot easier when editing drawings!
Convenient dimension tools
Parabuild provides tools to draw and edit chain and ordinate dimensions more efficiently than AutoCAD’s tools. We make sure you can draw chain and ordinate dimensions with minimum effort, even for oblique dimensions.
Parabuild can automatically draw annotations on your GA drawings. You can also add annotations manually using the flexible tools that we built for this purpose. These are some of the annotation types that are available by default : Assembly nr, Position nr, part name, level, hole diameter, hole data, comment, … The tool is flexible so it allows you to create your own annotation types.
Straight from the 3D model
Because Parabuild retrieves the parts and assemblies straight from the 3D structural steel, the GA drawings are accurate and detailers can rely on the information in the 2D details. This avoids many fabrication and erection problems and errors!
Flexible drawing BOM
The drawing BOM is a standard table and is fully customizable. Designing your ideal bill in a DWG template file is very easy, and the location of the bill in the detail drawing can be changed. The content in the BOM is sourced directly from the 3D structure.
Sections and details
You can create a new detail, section or overview from within the 2D sheet or from the 3D model. Views and sections can be manipulated in the 3D model using the camera object.
Some of the additional camera tools :
- Simple front/back view limitation
- Box view limitation
- Exclude some layers
- Exclude/isolate some objects
- View appearance settings such as Hidden lines, Axis, Holes, hatching, …

Garbage Cans Wait for Pickup in the Moonlight, 2022, Archival Digital Print
Even the plastic garbage cans look monumental in the November moonlight.
The heat of the day continued into the night and now
A strange November evening was aided by Mother Moon
Smiling on us,
Indifferent to our frettings,
Just happy to be a reflection of the Sun.
Betty’s Two Icelandics at Sunset, Archival Digital Print, 2022
In the moist dark of 4 AM,
I wonder at the strangeness of thinking about the bomb and
Why are we obliterating ourselves?
How can we have handled the pandemic, which we knew for decades was an inevitability,
How can we be so divided as a nation?
that people even utter the words Civil War?
At what point
On what date
At exactly what time
Should we have swerved but didn’t?
Tree, 2022, Archival Digital Print
The Fourth of July weekend and it feels like we have less to celebrate as the Supreme Court turns women into chattel, objects with no power over their own bodies. The tree stands tall and elegant, far more sane than the humans who are trying to destroy themselves and the planet.
First Light, 2022, Archival Digital Print
I saw this yesterday before 6 A.M. as I was turning onto Route 27 to head to the train. There was mist on the pond to the right and new sunlight touched each and every one of the staked vines.

Young Burdock, now isolated from his parents because his father will not accept a competing male, lives among the chickens and yearns for a wife.
Morning Shadows, 2022, Archival Digital Print
The fiction of the on-line world originally seemed a field of play to me.
Here was the first arena of the imagination that could be shared globally. It would be a playground of possibilities for poets, novelists, animators, artists. I innocently imagined a playground where all the children could pretend and create as they wanted. It would be my childhood mind gone global. I had omitted the bullies and the hidden-under-the-rock ogres who also infest the child’s world.
So here we are with our minds stolen out from under us and now instead of creating we are all sucking at its teat and ingesting horror after horror of doubt, misinformation, unsubstantiated claims and slowly turning into wobbly, wild tribal people.
Waterfall, Poughkeepsie, 2022, Archival Digital Print
The skies are forever open and water pours on us day after day. Better than the drought in the West. I was able to get this view from the train last night as we were leaving the station in Poughkeepsie heading home. All waterfalls make me think of Marsden Hartley’s waterfall. This one is such a surprise coming as it does straight toward the tracks just north of town.
Demus Watching, 2022, Archival Digital Print
The feral boy, Demus, has fattened up this winter. He is as much a part of the land as are the Eastern Catalpas.
Blackbirds, 2022, Archival Digital Print
Blackbirds rate among my most favorite: their silhouettes, their size, their song and seeing them in flocks on white snow is like nothing else.
The black-oiled sunflower seeds were the great attractor in this current snow.
There were seeds on the porch table, too, but that space belongs to the Juncos.

J.I.D. – DiCaprio 2 Album Review
J.I.D. made a splash in the hip-hop scene last year after signing to J. Cole’s Dreamville label and releasing The Never Story. J.I.D.’s freshman album was well received and he was lauded for his ability as a rapper causing high expectations for his next release. On J.I.D.’s sophomore offering, DiCaprio 2, he does not disappoint as he delivers an impressive project from start to finish highlighting his technical rapping skills and impressive ear for production.
J.I.D. offers an explosive entrance into his second studio album with the second track of the project, “Slick Talk” where he sends an open challenge to the rap game when he raps, “Ripping s***, intimate, infinite rhyme kicking, l-l-let's begin/ Who's your list? Your top 10? You can say whoever better than/ I'm ready now, I was ready then.” This bar serves as purely a small sample of what J.I.D. is capable of because throughout the project J.I.D. showcases his ability to construct internal rhymes and intricate rhyme schemes. J.I.D.’s lyrical showcase continues when J. Cole’s tries his hand at his double-time flow on the album’s second single “Off Deez,” which results in an amazing display of lyrical ability by both rappers.
Although the most remarkable aspect of the album is J.I.D.’s technical lyrical ability, he also showcases the ability to provide social commentary, be introspective, and deliver impressive R&B cuts during the middle of DiCaprio 2. On “Off da Zoinkys,” J.I.D. provides commentary on the negative aspects of drugs in his own life and the lives of his peers. J.I.D. perfectly toes the line of being conscious without coming off as preachy by showcasing his ability to effortlessly flow over the head-nod inducing beat provided by Christo. J.I.D. also reflects on his dissatisfaction with his newfound fame on “Workin Out,” when he raps, “Wasn't 'round when you had the dirty house/ Now they won't leave when you kick 'em out.” This lyric and the reflective chorus highlights J.I.D.’s discontent with fame. J.I.D. teams with frequent collaborator 6lack and Ella Mai on “Tiiied,” where he and his collaborators express their displeasure with different aspects in their respective relationships to create a chill vibe in the middle of the album.
The third and final part of DiCaprio 2 is a final display of just how impressive J.I.D. is as a rapper. The greatest example of this is on “Mounted Up,” where J.I.D. absolutely lets loose over the beat showcasing his breathtaking breath control on the second verse. The final aspect of the album also includes, “Just da Other Day,” which provides a song that his fans can actually rap along to unlike many of his other songs that employ a double-time flow that will solely leave many in amazement. The song serves as a chant-worthy retrospective for J.I.D. who looks back on a time where he was in a much different position than he is today.
The production on the album is primarily handled by Christo who provides heavy hitting beats to perfectly complement the rapid rate at which J.I.D. raps. J.I.D. and Christo’s chemistry is apparent throughout the project and their cohesion serves as a huge factor for why this album is enjoyable. Several other producers contribute to the project including Kenny Beats, ChaseTheMoney, J. Cole and others. The late Mac Miller also contributes to the project as an arranger on “Workin Out” and “Skrawberries.” The most refreshing aspect of the project has to be DJ Drama who provides the perfect amount of hype to a number of songs by employing some of his most enjoyable tactics as a mixtape host on the album, such as his on-beat announcement of J.I.D. or his villainous laugh at the end of “Mounted Up” expressing his pleasure with J.I.D.’s bars.
DiCaprio 2 is an impressive album with each song perfectly complementing each other and J.I.D. exceeds expectations on this project and should start being aligned amongst other high-level rappers. From the energetic intro to the victory lap on “Hasta Luego,” DiCaprio 2 is an enjoyable listen from start to finish.

The former Solomon Islands attorney-general, Julian Moti, has been given until Wednesday to file details of his application to have child sex charges against him dismissed.
During a review of the matter in the Supreme Court in Brisbane today, Mr Moti's barrister Jim Kennan says he needed a time extension because he had only recently taken over the case.
Mr Moti is fighting to have seven counts of engaging in sexual intercourse with a person under 16 dropped.
His stay application hit a snag in June when Justice Martin Daubney struck out his subpoenas for the release of documents from eight Australian government departments.
The court was told Mr Moti claimed the departments conspired to prosecute him because he was an impediment to their political interests in Solomon Islands.
The departments, including the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Australian Federal Police, the Australian Secret Intelligence Service and AusAID, fought the subpoenas on the basis that Mr Moti had not identified any legitimate purposes for the disclosure of the documents.


A sequel to Thirtysomething is in the works with the new series focused on the thirtysomething lives of some of the kids from the original series. Personally, I’d be more interested in seeing original cast members returning in Sixtysomething - the idea of a drama about the personal lives of people in their 30s isn’t exactly novel anymore.
The plan is for actors from the original to reprise their roles as well, though nothing is set at the moment. MGM is currently shopping the project to potential buyers.
Thirtysomething starred Ken Olin, Mel Harris, Melanie Mayron, Peter Horton, Patricia Kalember, Timothy Busfield, Patricia Wettig and Polly Draper. It premiered in September 1987 and ran for four seasons. Though never a big hit — it finished no higher than 40th in the Nielsen rankings over its four years — the show had an outsize pop-cultural footprint thanks to its focus on the day-to-day lives of Baby Boomers.
Emily VanDerWerff writes about Succession for Vox, suggesting the shows central theme is about trauma. If you’re not yet watching Succession, you probably should be.
Succession arguably has the most work cut out for it in this regard. At its heart is an old-fashioned family soap opera, in the style of Dallas or Dynasty. Like those shows, Succession is about the unchecked mega-rich, the offshoots of capitalism run amok. Like those shows, it is a lot of fun to watch, frequently as funny and audacious as anything TV has cooked up.
But unlike those shows, Succession’s plot twists rarely involve sexy complications. It has yet to reveal a whole season as having all been a dream. Instead, the show finds its pleasure in endless business machinations, in the ways that members of the Roy family compete with each other for dominance and the ways their competition has scarred them irreparably. (In real-world terms, the family is a rough mashup of the Fox News-owning Murdochs and the Paramount-owning Redstones.)
Andrew Scott, known in some circles as the hot priest from Fleabag, will soon be known as Tom Ripley in the upcoming Showtime series Ripley.
The first season is using The Talented Mr Ripley as its source material.
Scott will star as the titular character, Tom Ripley, a grifter scraping by in early 1960s New York. In the series, Ripley is hired by a wealthy man to travel to Italy to try to convince his vagabond son to return home. Tom's acceptance of the job is the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder.
Oscar winner Steven Zaillian (Schindler's List, The Night Of) will write and direct the entire eight-episode first season.

Does Netflix need to rethink its growth trajectory? Analysts are insistent that Netflix needs to increase its spending.
In a stunning reversal of fortune, shares of Netflix are now down in 2019 after rising more than 40 percent through the first four months of the year, and on Tuesday the hits kept coming, this time in the form of a Wall Street analyst who reduced his target price "substantially" to $350 while it had been set at $515.
If you’re anything like me, you spend a lot of the day thinking about how it would be great to see an anthology TV series based on the lyrics of Billy Joel songs. Well, you can put that idea to rest finally because it is happening thanks to MGM.
The studio is teaming with Universal Music Publishing Group to bring the New York singer-songwriter's music to life as a scripted "arc-thology" called Scenes From an Italian Restaurant.
The show, which takes its title from Joel's favorite song from his sizable catalog, will see each episode based on lyrics of his hits and populated by characters from his songs, including the Stranger, the Piano Man, Mamma Leone and Sgt. O'Leary. The tracks will be reimagined and rearranged by Joel's music team — with his input — and take his tunes in new directions.

This might just be a bizarre coincidence, but two new red devices from the two largest smartphone makers in the world, announced within hours of each other, smacks of some competitive behaviour. Or at least it would if one of the handsets wasn’t severely region-limited. But hey, at least everyone has some crimson options on hand, whether they’re buried neck-deep in the Apple or Android ecosystem.
Apple’s Product (RED) announcement doesn’t come as a surprise — there were all the rumours that leaked out over the weekend, bolstered by the fact that we saw red iPhone 7 handsets hit the market last year. The Product (RED) devices are released by Apple in conjunction with U2 frontman Bono’s charity, a move which will see a portion of the proceeds from the sale of these devices going to combat HIV and AIDS in Africa. We dare say that Apple won’t kick the extra sales out of bed, either.
The Product (RED) phones will start from $699 (R8,500), but we don’t have any news of them entering the local market yet. Last year’s model did manage to cross the ocean, though, so we’re expecting these to turn up sooner rather than later.
Samsung, on the other hand, has just launched their Burgundy Red edition of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ in India — we have no word on whether it will be available in the rest of the world. South Korea already has it and there are plans afoot to bring these devices to other countries but nothing concrete yet.
This edition launched in India (and South Korea at the beginning of the year) after the S8 line received price cuts because the S9 hit the market. The S8s were still in a very similar price range in India, and Samsung wanted to make them more appealing to customers by offering a pocket-friendly(ish) price tag and a new paint job. Otherwise, the device is identical to the smartphone that captured Stuff‘s collective hearts in 2017.
Who wore it better? That depends on whether you’re feeling charitable or just like money. whether you’re an iOS or an Android fan, whether you like Apple or you prefer a real phone (Ed — I put that last one in). Special editions don’t always make it to our market, but we’re convinced that at least one of these will end up landing. As always, we’ll let you know once we have more info.
