After the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989, oil companies assured America accidents like that would never happen again.
But another accident did happen. On October 13, 2004, roughly 1,000 gallons of crude oil spilled into the Puget Sound estuary, near Tacoma, Washington. The spill blackened the beaches and waters, threatening aquatic plants, seabirds and fish. Unlike the Exxon Valdez spill, it was not clear who caused the spill and nobody claimed responsibility for the accident.
Enter veteran journalist Eric Nalder. On March 22, 2005, the SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER published the first article in a series detailing the safety concerns of oil tankers belonging to the international energy corporation, ConocoPhillips. Although ConocoPhillips denied responsibility, the Coast Guard had traced the oil to a tanker owned by ConocoPhillips’ subsidiary Polar Tankers as early as December 2004. Nalder’s reporting revealed systemic problems within the company that were undermining the very safety reforms implemented in direct response to the Exxon Valdez spill. Safety concerns included requiring crews to work long hours, ignoring possible alcohol abuse by crew members, and company efforts to diminish tug escort requirements in Washington State waters. Moreover, Nalder found evidence alleging that crewmembers aboard another Polar tanker had participated in an oil-spill cover-up.
In EXPOSÉ’s “A Sea of Trouble,” Nalder’s doggedness and trademarked interview techniques help shed light on a murky situation.

Our hands have such precision motor skills because each individual digit can move freely through a full range of motion. If this motoring skill is hampered even in a single digit it can result in a considerable loss of normal function. Trigger finger is such a bone and joint condition which hampers your finger’s flexion and extension abilities making it difficult to perform even simple daily chores without pain. The affected digit gets locked in a curled up position when bent towards the palm and frees with a pop, a mechanism from which the condition’s name is derived.
What is trigger finger?
Our fingers achieve this excellent dexterity through a complicated mechanism which involves pulley like structures along each digit of the hand. This pulley mechanism is dependent on the flexor tendon sheath for smooth gliding movement in normal condition. For a cause yet unknown, the flexor tendon sheath present in the digits thickens making the movement through the pulleys difficult. The tendon gets stuck in the pulley when a flexion (curling movement of the digit) is attempted. This curled up position can be a permanent deformity or the finger might snap back into normal position through a forced extension.
Trigger finger is caused by the inflammation of the tendon sheath which hampers the gliding mechanism in the digit pulleys but what triggers this inflammation is still unknown. The most commonly known facts about trigger finger are that it is commonly observed in the 3rd or 4th digit and they are more common in women than men. There are strong chances that patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes. Another widely accepted theory is that of repetitive trauma to a particular digit. Read more

Mayor Linda T. Johnson says "we have plenty of work to do."
By 2027, the city of Suffolk will have about twice the number of people it has today, Mayor Linda T. Johnson said in her state of the city address Thursday.
"These figures tell us that we have plenty of work to do," Johnson told the audience at the Center for Cultural Arts. "And I'm pleased to report that the city of Suffolk is up to the task."
The projections, done by the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, say that in 20 years, Suffolk's population would increase by 96.4 percent.
That means the city, which has about 80,000 people today, would be about the size of Hampton.
The planning district commission also predicted that the number of jobs in the area would increase by 105.9 percent.
At 430 square miles, Suffolk has the space to absorb a massive population influx, Johnson said.
But the city needs to plan so that the growth is funneled to areas that have the infrastructure to handle it, she added.
"We have the ability and opportunity to mold ourselves into what we want," she said. "That doubling, it's not as frightening as it sounds."
Suffolk is already looking at spending nearly half a billion dollars on new schools and renovations in the next decade. City schools house nearly 14,000 children, and officials expect enrollment to increase by about 1 percent, or 140, next school year, said schools spokeswoman Bethanne Bradshaw.
The school district's growth was less than 2 percent this school year.
However, Suffolk still needs to take a hard look at its road system and other services to make sure the city is prepared for the increased traffic a larger population would bring, city officials said.
"The city of Suffolk was a rural county, and we have the same roads that were built for a county, and now it's turned into a city, and we haven't made any provisions," said City Councilman Charles Brown.
If city officials are going to guide Suffolk to a bright future, they need to start making decisions now about how to deal with the burgeoning city, one of the fastest growing in the state, Brown said.
"There's either a lot of work to be done, or there's going to be consequences," he said.
"The future's going to come. Now what are you gonna do about it?" *

Iran stated on January 20 it had performed a profitable satellite tv for pc launch into its highest orbit but, the newest for a program the West fears improves Tehran’s ballistic missiles.
The announcement comes as heightened tensions grip the broader West Asia over Israel’s ongoing conflict on Hamas within the Gaza Strip, and simply days after Iran and Pakistan engaged in tit-for-tat airstrikes in every others’ nations.
The Soraya satellite tv for pc was positioned in an orbit at some 750 kilometers (460 miles) above the Earth’s floor with its three-stage Qaem 100 rocket, the state-run IRNA information company stated. It didn’t instantly acknowledge what the satellite tv for pc did, although telecommunications minister Isa Zarepour described the launch as having a 50-kilogram (110-pound) payload.
The launch was a part of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ house program alongside Iran’s civilian house program, the report stated.
There was no speedy unbiased affirmation Iran had efficiently put the satellite tv for pc in orbit. The U.S. navy and the State Division didn’t instantly reply to request for remark.
America has beforehand stated Iran’s satellite tv for pc launches defy a UN Safety Council decision and referred to as on Tehran to undertake no exercise involving ballistic missiles able to delivering nuclear weapons. UN sanctions associated to Iran’s ballistic missile program expired final October.
The U.S. intelligence group’s 2023 worldwide risk evaluation stated the event of satellite tv for pc launch automobiles “shortens the timeline” for Iran to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile as a result of it makes use of related expertise.
Intercontinental ballistic missiles can be utilized to ship nuclear weapons. Iran is now producing uranium near weapons-grade ranges after the collapse of its nuclear cope with world powers. Tehran has sufficient enriched uranium for “a number of” nuclear weapons, if it chooses to provide them, the pinnacle of the Worldwide Atomic Power Company repeatedly has warned.
Iran has all the time denied in search of nuclear weapons and says its house program, like its nuclear actions, is for purely civilian functions. Nevertheless, US intelligence businesses and the IAEA say Iran had an organized navy nuclear program up till 2003.
The involvement of the Guard within the launches, in addition to it having the ability to launch the rocket from a cell launcher, increase considerations for the West. The Guard, which solutions solely to Supreme Chief Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, revealed its house program again in 2020.
Over the previous decade, Iran has despatched a number of short-lived satellites into orbit and in 2013 launched a monkey into house. This system has seen latest troubles, nonetheless. There have been 5 failed launches in a row for the Simorgh program, one other satellite-carrying rocket.
A hearth on the Imam Khomeini Spaceport in February 2019 killed three researchers, authorities stated on the time. A launch pad rocket explosion later that 12 months drew the eye of then-President Donald Trump, who taunted Iran with a tweet displaying what seemed to be a US surveillance picture of the location.
In December, Iran despatched a capsule into orbit able to carrying animals because it prepares for human missions within the coming years.

Smoke and Mirrors: The Autumn Statement Budget
Stephanie Hurst, Tax Director at Monahans, shares her thoughts on the Autumn Statement Budget.
As we geared ourselves up for Jeremy Hunt to announce 110 measures to unleash significant growth in the UK economy, the reality wasn’t quite as ground-breaking as the news headlines suggested. So, what do the changes mean for businesses and what were the key takeaways from today’s announcements?
In contrast to last year’s Autumn Statement, the Chancellor was able to announce that inflation has fallen from 11.1% to 4.6%, with the OBR forecasting that the UK economy is set to grow by 0.6% this year and by 1.4% in 2025. The Chancellor’s announcement covered three major themes; boosting business investment, getting more people back into work and cutting taxes.
Boosting Business Investment
In the last Budget, the government announced a full-expensing relief which provides substantial tax cuts for businesses investing in certain plant and machinery assets. This relief was due to cease in 2026 but the Chancellor has announced that this relief will now be made permanent. Whilst this change is welcome, it will only really benefit companies who invest more than their Annual Investment Allowance of £1m per year and the relief only covers certain types of assets. The relief is also not available to sole traders or partnerships who are often those who need the most support.
The Enterprise Investment Scheme was due to end in 2025 but it has been confirmed that the government will extend this to 2035, easing the pressure on small businesses immensely. Although not mentioned during the Chancellor’s speech, this represents a significant opportunity for new businesses to obtain the support they need to grow and maybe the confidence boost they need to seek external investment. Many start-up companies raise investment using the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) as this can provide significant tax benefits to individual taxpayers. This often makes the opportunity to invest in smaller businesses particularly attractive.
Mr Hunt also confirmed a rise in the National Living Wage to £11.44 per hour from April 2024 which is positive news for employees. However, this may have a larger impact on smaller businesses where profit margins are already very tight so the financial impact of this change will need to be fully considered.
To encourage home-grown innovation, changes will be made to the existing R&D schemes to combine them into one, simpler regime. Changes will be made to the amount of tax credit that a company will be able to receive and more R&D intensive businesses will be able to access higher rates of relief and payments,
Back To Work
The announcement focused on helping those with long-term illnesses and disabilities but revealed a Back to Work plan for those who are able to work. A total of £1.3 billion will be spent over the next five years to help nearly 700,000 people with health conditions find jobs and 180,000 more people will be helped through the Universal Support programme. Over the estimated period, the measures will more than halve the net flow of people who are signed off work with no work search requirements. If, after 18 months, jobseekers have not found a job, a programme will be rolled out requiring them to take part in a mandatory work placement to increase their skills and improve their employability. For those who do not engage with the process for six months, their case will be closed and their benefits stopped. The Chancellor’s motivation is to unlock the potential we have in the UK, increase the number of people in work by 200,000 and boost the economy.
Although our self-employed workers were recognised for acting as the backbone of the UK during the pandemic, the announcements certainly did not favour the group. Mr Hunt was pleased to announce that the self-employed would no longer have to pay Class 2 National Insurance (NI) but this only saves those earning more than £12,570 a pitiful £3.45 a week. Meanwhile, self-employed people who pay Class 4 NI at 9% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270 will see a cut of 1% to 8% from April. In comparison, the main rate for employees will be cut from 12% to 10% from January 2024 and will likely be better off.
Whilst any form of tax cuts are very welcome in the current climate, the reduction in NI doesn’t have a huge impact on the fiscal drag created by the freezing of income tax thresholds until 2028.
Many small business owners, particularly company shareholders, will have a remuneration structure with a small salary that does not attract NI at all so this will also have little impact for those entrepreneur’s who play a big part in the UK economy.
It's good news for the retail and hospitality industry though as Hunt announced that he will freeze all alcohol duty taxes until 1 August next year which means there will be no increase on the costs of beer, cider, wine or spirits. The 75% business rate discount will also be extended for another year which is a particularly generous move and will be welcomed with open arms by businesses in these sectors.
A Positive Change for Various Industries
Building on the success of the tech innovation centres in Edinburgh and Bristol, the Chancellor will invest a further £500m over the next few years to fund more innovation centres to make the UK an AI powerhouse. The creative industries and life sciences also enjoyed the spotlight as the investigation into more investment in visual effects launched to increase high-end TV tax credits.
Although there are plenty of changes within the Chancellor’s 110 growth measures, he interestingly did not mention Inheritance Tax or Stamp Duty Land Tax despite much speculation. Green energy has also been high on the agenda amongst businesses, but any particular incentives to encourage investment in this area were also missing from the announcement.
With a general election on the horizon, the Chancellor may well be keeping these in his back pocket to coincide with the Spring Budget in 2024.
The changes announced will ease some of the financial pressure on businesses and individuals alike although with inflation taking longer to come down than initially anticipated, the true impact remains to be seen.

Itís pumpkin patch time in Tinseltown
Halloween is drawing near and parents are on the search for the best pumpkins around and it is no different with the celebrity crowd. So, where do you go to find the best pumpkins? The pumpkin patch, of course.
Milla Jovovich and husband Paul Anderson took daughter Ever to the pumpkin patch in West Hollywood for a fun time. The Resident Evil star who is known for dressing down and going make-up free in her free time did more of the same for this outing. She was almost unrecognizable dressed in big baggy striped pants that did nothing for her exquisite figure and teamed it with a dark sleeveless top and as usual left her face unadorned. But the lady has good skin folks. She still managed to look great, skin-wise that is as she hauled a huge pumpkin from the patch wearing a big smile on her face. Daughter Ever seemed to be enjoying herself as she skipped along holding onto her fatherís hand. Ever looked adorable in an over-sized mustard colored top and floral skirt over cropped leggings. Millaís dog, Oliver Cromwell, was also there lending his support to the event.
Milla, who plays Alice in Resident Evil: Retribution which was directed by her husband made its debut last month and since then has made $21 million just in North America alone. It has been rumored that worldwide, the film has raked in a whopping $200 million. So, the model turned actress has every reason to smile. Things are going well on all fronts and that is a good thing.

The Animal Rescue League is currently in the process of taking in multiple sick cats and kittens living in toxic conditions. We already have the majority of the cats at the ARL under the care of our medical team, and we are still receiving more.
All of the cats and kittens arrived with terrible fleas and ear mites, and about half had been living in a house infested with black mold. Those cats are the most severely ill. All are suffering from upper respiratory infections and eye infections, and all have painful, rotting teeth that require major dental surgeries with multiple extractions. Sadly, one of the older cats in the group was so sick she did not make it.
With all of these sick cats and kittens arriving in such a short time – on top of the dozens of pets we already take in every day – we need your help.
Most of the cats and kittens will be in our care for weeks recovering from their illnesses. Your donation to our Miracle Medical Fund will help us provide needed medical care for them and the others still arriving, and your monthly gift will help these cats as well as countless others who will arrive in the coming weeks and months in need of a miracle.
These cats have been through so much already and deserve the chance to live happy, healthy lives with families who love them. Your donation to our Miracle Medical Fund will save them from the pain and suffering they’ve endured and prepare them for the loving homes they’ve always deserved.
Your gift today will change their lives.
P.S.: Whether you decide to make a one-time donation today or join our Loyal Friends Club monthly giving program, you'll be automatically enrolled to receive exclusive updates on these cats’ progress.

Hawaii sheriff's deputies recapture jail escapee
Sheriff's deputies, acting on a tip, recaptured an escaped inmate from the Maui Community Correctional Center Monday
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser
MAUI — Sheriff's deputies, acting on a tip, recaptured an escaped inmate from the Maui Community Correctional Center on Monday morning.
Junior Jorju, 40, was hiding in the back parking lot of the Harbor Lights Condominium Complex in Kahului at 9:30 a.m., the Department of Public Safety said in a news release.
Jorju was discovered missing at a 9:30 p.m. headcount on Saturday.
The prison went into lockdown and guards searched the facility.
Jorju was serving 14 days for driving without a license and contempt of court. He started serving his time on July 7 and was scheduled to be released on July 20.
Jorju was considered a "community custody" inmate, the lowest risk level.
His escape is still under investigation.

STU the odd school out as universities reach funding, tuition deal
As part of the deal, universities agree to appear before a legislative committee
Three of the province's four publicly funded universities have signed agreements with the provincial government for a little more money and a tuition cap for New Brunswick students.
Post-Secondary Education Minister Roger Melanson announced Thursday that an agreement was reached with University of New Brunswick, University of Moncton and Mount Allison University.
The odd school out is St. Thomas University, which says it is underfunded and cannot accept the province's proposal.
The memorandum of understanding the Liberal government signed with the other schools covers the academic years from the 2017-18 to 2020-21.
During that time, those three universities will receive an annual one per cent increase in operational funding for the first three years followed by a two per cent bump for 2020-21.
Also in the agreement is a two per cent tuition cap for New Brunswick students enrolled in a program in 2018-19 or earlier. The cap will remain for the duration of their degree.
The three universities have also agreed to appear before a legislative committee to explain their spending choices.
Melanson said the arrangement doesn't undermine the universities' independence, and the committee won't direct how they spend their money.
"We feel very good about it," Melanson said during a news conference in Fredericton. "I think it's right to have New Brunswickers clearly understand where these dollars are being invested through our universities."
He said the four universities receive about $230 million combined from the province each year, and the new four-year agreement would add, incrementally, another $45 million.
St. Thomas won't sign
Peter Forestell, the chairman of the STU board of governors, and Dawn Russell, the university president, said in a joint statement Thursday they are disappointed the school has been unable to reach an agreement with the province.
STU called the existing funding framework unfair, saying STU students are underfunded compared with those at the University of Moncton, University of New Brunswick and Mount Allison.
"While previous Provincial Governments have recognized the funding anomaly and taken incremental steps towards a resolution, we have been unable to make any progress with this Government. Given the importance of the issue, our Board of Governors has directed that STU not sign any agreement that does not make progress in correcting this funding inequity."
The fiscal strain makes its difficult for STU to maintain its level of education and also means less financial support for students, the university said.
STU has been making this argument for years. In 2013, the university ignored a tuition cap set by the Progressive Conservative government of David Alward.
On Thursday, Melanson said discussions with STU continue.
Tuition cap for New Brunswickers
The tuition cap does not cover out-of-province students.
Universities would be able to further adjust tuition, though the earliest a change would come into effect would be the 2019-20 school year and it would apply solely to new students enrolled that year.
"It's the responsibility of the university," Melanson said. "I can't predict what that outcome will be, but it's something they want to have."
The agreements also include funding for pilot projects aimed at increasing enrolment and creating research and development opportunities.
Melanson said negotiations lasted more than a year and a half.

In his reverential style, Middleton reveals characters such as owner Roger; his 94-year-old father, Hugh; and, of course, the cows, with humorous prose and vivid images.
Apples I Have Eaten (Chronicle Books, 2010; $15) is an endearingly small, red-bound guide to the apples we can’t find in grocery stores. Curator Jonathan Gerken hunts for unique apples at farmers’ markets, at orchards, and through acquaintances, then captures images of the fruit before taking a bite. He collected 20-plus varieties—sweet, tart, and everything in between—over the course of one autumn and each is depicted life size with an image of both the whole fruit and its cross section. Intriguing species like Winter Red Flesh, Hidden Rose, and Black Twig pepper the wordless book, and make one yearn for autumn trips to the orchard and homemade apple pie.
Tartine Bread (Chronicle Books, 2010; $40), by esteemed California baker Chad Robertson, is a very personal baking book. Beginning with the story of his quest for the bread of his dreams, Robertson introduces his readers to his method of breadbaking in meticulous detail. Beautiful photographs by Eric Wolfinger illustrate the steps to the recipes and give the reader a glimpse of life in the bakery. Appealingly bound in images of Tartine’s sought-after breads, this big hardcover contains a wealth of knowledge presented by a craftsman who genuinely wants to pass on his hard-won discovery of a bread to beat all breads.

The idea of pirate treasure derives from a single incident involving William Kidd in 1699. Kidd was about to be arrested, but before confronting the authorities he buried his treasure on Gardiners Island. He first asked permission to John Gardiner, the island's owner, who later handed over the treasure to the authorities.
This is the whole history of pirate treasure. It inspired Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, which almost single handedly created the modern image of pirates.

If a man is tired of London he is tired of life, Samuel Johnson once wrote. But it was hard to be anything other than excited by this long weekend of London fashion, with designers offering some brilliant ideas.
Rarely has any fashion week felt like its success was riding on one brand. Yet that’s very much the mood entering the next edition of London Fashion Week, when all eyes will be on Riccardo Tisci's debut at Burberry.
The shortlist for the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund 2018, which aims to support the growth of a UK-based fashion brand, has been announced, with Marques’ Almeida and Molly Goddard among the candidates.
For three days the British shoe designer will offer a customization studio at Saks Fifth Avenue’s flagship store in New York City. The custom shoe studio celebrates the 10th anniversary of Saks’ 10022-Shoe.

BURKE, TOBIAS (1834 ~ 1923). Confederate veteran Tobias Burke was born in Ireland in 1834. At some point he immigrated to the United States and eventually settled in Adams County, Mississippi.
He enlisted into service for the Confederacy from Adams County on March 11, 1862 and was mustered into the 16th Mississippi Infantry, Company D (known as Adams Light Guard No. 2). The 16th saw heavy action throughout the Civil War as it was detached to Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. They fought at First and Second Manassas (First and Second Bull Run), Fredericksburg, Harper's Ferry and Spotsylvania among others. Burke was wounded at Second Manassas, but was back at his unit for Spotsylvania where the 16th suffered heavy losses in May of 1864.
Burke was captured by Union forces at the Battle of Spotsylvania. He was held prisoner at Ft. Delaware for the duration of the War. Burke signed an Oath of Allegiance on March 16, 1865 and was paroled.
Burke had a rejected pension application. The application shows that he was a prisoner at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House on May 12, 1864. He may have been rejected for a pension because he took the Oath of Allegiance.
Burke likely returned to Mississippi for a time before moving to Texas. On his pension application (dated 1923) he said he had been a Texas resident for 40 years. He stated his residence was in Fort Worth. He successfully applied for entrance to the Confederate Men's Home in Austin around 1911.
Burke died at the Home on November 7, 1923 and was buried at the Texas State Cemetery.
Unit information taken from Dunbar Rowland's Military History of Mississippi, 1803-1898, accessed from http://www.mississippiscv.org/MS_Units/16th_MS_INF.htm. Other source materials include Texas State Archive documents and Texas State Cemetery file materials.

Introduction: Plastic Desk Organizers
Design thinking is a more imaginative way to look at problems, shift your perspective, and come up with fresh, better ideas. Design thinking is crucial when designing because this way your design is easier in several ways, you’ve already done a whole process of designing it and you’ve already solved the issues you’ve had when designing. My designs are plastic bottles and paper rolls (without the paper) that were cutted into several different pieces and were turned into material holders. The plastic bottles were turned into a jewelry holder and money storage. The big bottle was turned into a holder for the paper rolls, and the paper rolls holded pens, pencils, markers, etc. This design will help my user have her material organized in a nice holder that is full of colors.
The material I used were plastic bottles, paper rolls, paint, paint brushes, and scissors, a knife, or any type of cutting tool.
Step 1: Collecting Materials
Empathy is when you put yourself in others' shoes to feel the same they are feeling. Empathy blends into design thinking because you’re working and designing for others and for others' needs, so you’re putting yourself in their shoes and designing what they want to have. In my case, I had to put myself in Euge’s shoes and think about what would be helpful to her when organizing her materials and at the same time is helping the environment. During the interview with Euge, she told me she used a lot of plastic bottles and that she would like to do something about the amount of plastic she uses. With that information, I came up with this design made out of plastic bottles so that when she has more plastic bottles she can make more organizers. After the interview, the drivers (user’s needs) were cheap, easy, and recyclable, and the constraints (what challenges to solve) were used less plastic and reusable. In the interpretation phase, I first thought of making a plant holder made out of plastic bottles or all my designs separately. Then I realized I could use most of the 10 ideas I had and create one big one, so I put most of them together and used most of the ideas I had.
Step 2: Painting
Ideation is a way of expressing your ideas or thoughts. It is a creative process in which you make, develop, and communicate your ideas. It helps you build a better project and make sure you have done what you need to pick the best one and the right one. I made 10 sketches of a design that would be helpful for my use and I decided to choose more than 1 and combine them to make one big organizer.
Step 3: Cutting
In my design, it is important to check that the organizers can hold well what they are holding. The steps to my project were first collecting all the plastic I was going to use and the paint. I cut a normal plastic bottle into 3 pieces and the middle piece was removed to make it smaller, this then became the money storage. Another plastic bottle was also cut into 2 pieces and the top was removed and the bottom stayed as a jewelry holder. The paper rolls were cut into shorter pieces and then were placed in the bottom part of a detergent plastic bottle.
Step 4: Putting It All Together
In this step, I just put all the cut pieces together and placed them on the desk. In one picture we can see how it looks without the materials and on the other picture will everything placed.

Political Scientist Rick Valelly '75 Helps Launch, and Re-Launch, The American Prospect
When The American Prospect (TAP) launched in 1990, it featured a piece by then-M.I.T. professor Rick Valelly '75 about the political science of voter turnout on its cover. So when the publication was ready to re-launch after a fundraising effort this summer saved it from shuttering, they again turned to one of its inaugural writers.
Valelly's book review, "Ghosts of Ballots Past," is one of the first pieces featured in the redesigned Prospect.
"TAP is the one journal that mixes political analysis, policy analysis, a great website, good book and film reviews, and has a strong commitment to the health of organized labor," says Valelly, Claude C. Smith '14 Professor of Political Science. "There's no journal out there that has quite the same mix that TAP does."
Founded by journalist Robert Kuttner H'99, sociologist Paul Starr P'13, and former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, Valelly is thankful for the opportunity to write for The American Prospect's first issue.
"Substantively it was a great learning experience," he says. "I put a lot of effort into it and learned a great deal about the political science of voter turnout."
After being involved in the planning stages for Prospect's launch, Kuttner recruited Valelly to contribute his writing to the magazine.
"Bob Kuttner, Paul Starr, and Robert Reich all wanted to put together a magazine that would be as influential for American liberalism as The Public Interest had been for the development of neo-conservatism - but also attract a wide reading audience," Valelly says.
Valelly has contributed regularly to The American Prospect since that first issue. The magazine is also known for providing a launching pad for many well-known journalists, including Jason Zengerle '96.
Valelly believes The American Prospect is particularly relevant to members of the Swarthmore community. "I think Swarthmoreans are always worried about the health of American democracy," he says, "and TAP takes this theme very seriously and provides fresh ways of thinking about it."
Valelly, who received a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1984, is an expert on American party politics, election law, voting rights, and the institutional development of the House and the Senate. He has been a research scholar at Harvard's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for Afro-American Research, at the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics at the Woodrow School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, and at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C.


Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D. CT) in support of Cal Cunninngham’s (D. NC) U.S. Senate campaign:
Mitch McConnell’s super PAC just bought $21.8 million in ads in North Carolina — more than any other state.
Why? Because our Senate candidate, veteran Cal Cunningham, is narrowly ahead in polls.
Obviously our focus right now needs to be on keeping our families and communities safe. But this crisis has reaffirmed how much elections matter, and how important it is to elect smart, compassionate, and battle-tested leaders who will do the right thing in a crisis.
Cal is that kind of leader, and he needs our help. So I want to see if we can raise $21,800 today. It’s an ambitious goal, but if enough of us pitch in, we’ll get there.
It’s clear that this is the race Republicans think will determine control of the Senate.
A Republican super PAC spent nearly $3 million trying to meddle in the Democratic primary. They wanted to force Cal to spend money and to stop him. He fought back and won anyway.
Now right as his general election is starting, Mitch McConnell’s super PAC is dropping $21.8 million in outside spending.
McConnell and his allies are terrified — and for a good reason. Cal is a great candidate, and if he wins his race, we can finally end McConnell’s reign as majority leader.
So let’s get Cal off to a strong start. Are you in?
I know times are tough right now, and it’s moments like this that make it clear just how much Republican leadership in Washington has failed the working people of this country.
So thank you in advance for taking action and helping us win this race in North Carolina. And please stay strong and safe. Check-in on each other. We’ll get through this together.
Every best wish,

A new online tool allows Metro Vancouver residents to track the viral load of COVID-19 found in untreated wastewater at each of the region’s five wastewater treatment plants.
Metro Vancouver, the regional district that delivers water, waste treatment and other services to the area's local governments, says the tool is now active on its website.
A statement from Metro Vancouver says it worked with the public health laboratory of the BC Centre for Disease Control and the University of British Columbia to sample and test wastewater to track the presence and trends of the COVID-19 virus.
Residents can click on a specific wastewater treatment plant on a map to see a snapshot of the COVID-19 virus trend for that area.
Metro Vancouver says tracking the viral load can help health authorities evaluate how well COVID-19 containment measures are working.
But they say it can't pinpoint the number of people who are infected or contagious.
The chart for each wastewater treatment plant shows the amount of COVID-19 virus present per litre of wastewater before the liquid is treated.
Dr. Natalie Prystajecky, program head of the public health lab at the BC Centre for Disease Control, says studying the virus in wastewater means researchers can "look at an entire population, rather than an individual person.”
“Studies have demonstrated that about 50 per cent of COVID-19 cases have the virus in their feces,” she says.
The virus that causes COVID-19 is non-infectious in feces and wastewater, the statement says.


Adam's 1970 Pro-Street Nova
In the midst of writing several stories of old cars, this one is being
pushed to the front of the line, more or less for the reason one does not
usually see a teenager who only recently got his license, show such an
interest, and create a car like this, and most importantly, drive it
properly and prudently on the street. He is waiting for the chance to take
the car to the track, it is estimated with the fairly 'tame' engine, the
Nova will do an 11-second quarter mile. To the delight of his fellow
students, and yes, the girls do really like to car, Adam takes this car to
school quite often. It has proven to be very reliable and street-able,
albeit a conversation within is carried on at more then a whisper.
Following the car from a distance, all I heard was the Nova, in my Vista
Cruiser felt like I was riding a cloud! I would like to thank Josh, an
astute and budding videographer for taking the clips of the moving Nova, he
will have his license soon too, and he has ideas for his own project car as
well, he is being inspired by all the old cars he sees and getting his own
visions. As for the Nova, it has the Big Block with aluminum heads, a turbo-400 automatic, the requisite Ford
9-ich rear, narrowed of course, fitted with 4.11 final drive gears, rack
and pinion steering, manual, manual front disc brakes, line-lock, safety
seats, fuel cell, and the full roll cage. Please take note of Adam's
graphic art skills. At his age, I have told him he is far beyond his years
in talent. His work is amazing, and he is going to pursue this talent.
One can only imagine what the car will look like once Adam is finished
painting and detailing it. Good for you Adam, keep it up. It will help to

I've been thinking...Having a dog in your life is, in my opinion, one of the most rewarding relationships you can get into. Whether you are having a great day or a horrible one, your little furry buddy is there wagging his tail as soon as you glance in his direction and he asks for very little in return for his unconditional love and affection. I strongly believe that the decision to bring home a pet should not be taken lightly. It will require a lot of your time, money and attention; specially in the first several months. There will be obligatory vet visits, house breaking, obedience training as well as deciding on the type of diet to feed him, time for walks, time for burning energy, grooming and so much more. The best advice I can give you is to lay it all out on paper before you actually bring a dog home and then, once you feel confident in your plan, go for it; you will not regret it. One thing you should definitely consider in that plan is how you will take care of your pal during the harsh winter months. Dogs, just like human are very sensitive to extreme temperatures. Some are a little more adapted then others but that does not mean they should be left to fend for themselves in freezing or scorching conditions. Taking on the responsibility of owning a pet of any kind should mean you will provide them with the best possible food, water, shelter, care and attention but unfortunately, that is not always true and many animals pay the price for our negligence. Provided I have not totally scared you off yet, I'm here to offer a little help when it comes to owning a pet if you live in an area where it seems like half of the year is covered in snow. Here is my list of 5 Cold Weather Pet Safety Tips.
Tip number one is to know your pet's limits. Just like us, dog's love to play in the snow. Some breeds are better adapted to it than others and depending on the coat, fat stores, size and activity level of your dog, you should be able to determine when it is time for him to come back inside. Now, I know some of you think dog's do not belong in the house and you are entitled to your opinion but I believe it is my responsibility as a pet owner to provide him with the best possible shelter and that means he gets the same treatment I do...Inside the house. So look for the signs you would recognize in yourself; shivering, tucking paws, change in demeanor and do not leave him out in the cold any longer than you have to.
Tip number two Is to check their paws. One of the most exposed areas on your dog is his paws. In extreme cold weather or if you live in an area that uses road salt and other deicers it is imperative that you protect their paws and check them often for cracks or injuries. There are several options available to protect their paws and we find the best to be a good paw wax. It can be used as prevention as well as treatment and is very easy to make at home using some very simple ingredients. A simple google search will give you hundreds of recipes. As an alternative, you might prefer to use commercial dog boots but be careful, most of the low-cost options will only frustrate you as your canine friend kicks them off within the first two minutes. Look for ones that have zippered fronts and velcro strap up top, they tend to have less stretch and are usually a lot harder to catapult into the abyss...
Tip number three is to dress him up. Ok, probably not the most popular one in the list, especially for us guys but if you want to extend the length of time your pooch can stay out in the cold; dress him up. Long haired or thick coated dogs such as malamutes don't necessarily need it but if your dog has really short hair like our boxer mix does, you need to dress him up to go outside. There as so many commercial options available now it's almost as bad as shopping for kids but that is not the point. Anything you can use to keep your dog's body heat from escaping too quickly would work. You could use old sweat shirts or, if you are handy with a sewing machine, design and create your own; there is no limit to make sure your buddy stays warm.
Tip number four is to wipe down. If you live in an area that uses road salt and other deicers, your dog's feet, legs and belly will pick up some of these chemicals that can potentially be harmful and even toxic to him. When you come back from a walk or an activity where he may have come in contact with these chemicals make sure to thoroughly wipe down these areas using a damp cloth. You will be avoiding expensive vet bills as well as keeping your sanity by eliminating all kinds of dirt and sand from your floors.
Finally, tip number five is to avoid ice. One of the most common pet injuries during winter times is broken nails or bones due to bad slips on ice. As I said before, dogs love to play in the snow and sometimes that means running over a patch of ice. If you can prevent them from doing that by carefully selecting the area where they can let loose and play then you will be one step closer to having a successful outing with your buddy.
Overall, pet safety comes down to one thing; caring. If you care for your animal you will do everything in your power to make sure he is safe and comfortable. I hope these 5 Cold Weather Safety Tips help you on your journey to pet ownership and invite you to leave a comment if you have any questions.
Thanks for Reading!

Top EU economic affairs official Pierre Moscovici heads to Athens for talks with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Wednesday in an effort to unblock bailout negotiations.
Months of failed talks between Athens and its eurozone and IMF creditors have alarmed markets and raised fears of a new debt crisis that could again jeopardise Greece’s place in the euro. “Intensive meetings are taking place and I will myself visit Athens on Wednesday,” Moscovici told reporters in Brussels on Monday. The former French finance minister said he would meet with Tsipras as well as Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos during the visit.
Moscovici, who is considered an ally of the Greek government, said that all sides should avoid any needless instability, calling Greece a potential “success story”. “We cannot, just like that, bring a crisis to the recovery in Greece amid global uncertainty,” he said.
Tsipras on Saturday warned that the International Monetary Fund, as well as hardline Germany, should “stop playing with fire”.
Talks on Friday between Athens and its creditors failed to end the stalemate, though Eurogroup head Jeroen Dijsselbloem said substantial progress had been made.

We moved to Roselle (a western suburb of Chicago) because of the music programs so they could get better prepared to march a drum corps if they wish. Hopefully, they'll only be in a maximum of two corps. I'd love them all to march in one corps, but I doubt the by-laws will be changed to allow my daughter to march in the Cavaliers.
Sydney, age 14: The corps are cool to watch because they play so well and the visual part is so interesting. I would love to march with Blue Devils. I'm taking trumpet lessons to prepare myself. Eric, age 11: I want to march with the Cavaliers. I play tuba. I'm in all the bands I can get in and take private lessons and will learn from the marching band. Sean, age 9: I want to play baritone with the Cavaliers. I'm not old enough to play in band yet, but I mess around with my Dad's concert baritone. Mary, age 7 was not at the show. Paul: The big differences since I aged out became apparent when we went to the corps dress rehearsal. The talent level gets better every year. In June, they're already better than any corps I marched in when August came along. The talent level is scary. The kids in corps today are professionals. It's harder each year to see much resemblance to when we marched because the talent level and level of the shows is so much higher than what we did. I'm astounded. I left the dress rehearsal thinking it can't get much better, but each year it does. I don't know what they're feeding them. The years I marched were not the strongest years of the corps. We never had a total package. It was a ton of work but a lot of fun. I just get exciting by the sounds of brass and percussion on the field. I love playing in the community concert band, but it will never be a substitute for marching with 60 brass. That's what I liked the best about the corps. What I like the most now is the visual shows. The visuals have improved even more than the music. The visual productions are unbelievable, and the speed they do it while playing. Also the percussion...the front pits were small when I aged out, but now they're huge. It's a good thing the corps march as good as they do, because if they didn't, I wouldn't be able to take my eyes off the pit. The drums used to march up and down the 50 while in a block, but now they're part of the actual drill. I don't know how they do it. Some of the people I marched with I spend time with comparing the good old days with now. I can't think of too many things that were better then. I think it's much better now. It's changed almost entirely for the better. It's fun. I went to the Regal Theater for the fans' favorites and it was fun to see the old shows. But I would still rather watch the corps today.

A common claim among the users of solar heaters is its inefficiency to generate heat as time progresses.
A system installed with large sums of investment does not do justice to its value. They do however have some underlying causes.
This problem is the cause of lack of maintenance.
Industrial Solar Heaters are sustainable energy sources that provide heating solutions for applications with temperature requirements of up to 120 deg C. They reduce the use of fossil fuels and also significantly reduce energy costs by the using the sun’s energy to deliver heat to the processes.
This also means that the solar heater’s system performance depends on the solar radiation at the site.
A conventional solar hot water system consists of solar collectors, piping, strainer, pumps etc.
Each of these is a system in itself and requires proper maintenance – both general and breakdown for flawless functioning.
This webinar deals with the maintenance issues that are part of having a solar heater.

زبان ویدیو: یکی از روش های جذاب یادگیری زبان انگلیسی گوش دادن به پادکست است. در این مطلب از کانال کتاب صوتی هری پاتر Stephen Fry، قسمت سوم از جلد اول سری رمان های هری پاتر بنام سنگ جادو را با صدای گوینده معروف انگلیسی آقای استیون فرای را برای شما آماده کردیم.
خلاصه قسمت سوم کتاب هری پاتر – سنگ جادو
Because of the boa constrictor incident, Harry is forced to stay in his cupboard for an uncanny amount of time – until summer. However, as soon as the summer activities begin, Dudley and his gang play Hunting Harry, destined to destroy his life, whether imprisoned or free. Dudley gets a new pinstriped uniform for school, in bright colors and sparkling white design. It is a sight that gives Harry a decent amount of laughter and humor, no matter how much he holds it in. One day, the post (mail) comes, causing a frenzy in the Dursley household. Among the three letters on their doorstep, there is one addressed to Harry, noting his residence in the Cupboard Under the Stairs.
As soon as Uncle Vernon opens the letter and reads what is written, he is shocked, frightened, and confused. Aunt Petunia is likewise flabbergasted, wondering how ‘they’ know where Harry lives and is treated. They had planned to eradicate all of the weirdness and ‘those’ type of people from their lives and cannot understand how it still exists. Dudley erupts with desperation wanting to see Harry’s letter, while Harry craves his only possession – a letter addressed to him (and not anyone else in the family). Uncle Vernon calls it a mistake and tells Harry to move to Dudley’s second bedroom, now filled with all of his broken toys. Dudley complains and Harry wishes he could be back in his cupboard with his personal letter. However, when the post comes the following day, a letter arrives addressed to Harry Potter in the smallest bedroom in 4 Privet Drive.
The family is outraged and Harry is thrilled, wondering how someone could know exactly where he is all the time. Furthermore, he realizes that if these people wanted to get a hold of him badly enough, he knows that they will.


By Amy Remeikis
Queensland Police Commissioner Bob Atkinson is "enormously embarrassed" after he was caught speeding in his police service-issued car earlier this month.
It was a contrite police commissioner who faced the media this afternoon, shortly after revealing he had been caught travelling 70km/h in a 60km/h zone in Kangaroo Point.
The police union described the incident as a "storm in a tea cup'' but stressed it highlighted the "bigger issue'' of constantly varying speed limits throughout Brisbane.
Mr Atkinson was captured by a speed camera on the Story Bridge on February 3 by a camera he knew was there.
Mr Atkinson said he had no excuses for his lapse on concentration and did not want his actions to impact the road safety message he and his officers have been pushing so hard.
However he said he wanted to make it clear that he had not "consciously or deliberately" exceeded the speed limit.
Calling it a "somewhat unusual day", Mr Atkinson said he had spent the morning in Cairns and had been at Kedron when he made the decision to return to police headquarters.
He said it was the day information was being given on the flood situation in St George.
He offered a lift to a senior sergeant and had found himself on the Story Bridge after discovering the Inner City Bypass blocked off.
Mr Atkinson was alerted to the infringement as a matter of course and after an investigation, paid the $133 fine and accepted the loss of one demerit point.
In explaining the matter to the media, Mr Atkinson, who often has a driver, said he felt he had let down the community, his officers and the media and said he felt "enormously embarrassed".
Police union president Ian Leavers said the entire matter was a "storm in a teacup''.
"All people can have a lapse of concentration from time to time,'' he said.
"The commissioner has accepted full responsibility and this incident proves he is human and we all make mistakes, as have I.
"The bigger issue is that constantly varying speed limits throughout Brisbane from 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80km/h zones mean that we all need to be extra vigilant when we are behind the wheel."
Mr Atkinson said it was a case of human error and had strengthened his resolve to change the driving habits of motorists.
In a statement Mr Atkinson said he was on his way to police headquarters on ‘‘service related matters’’ and knew the speed limit was 60km/h.
‘‘I was not consciously or deliberately exceeding the speed limit,’’ he said.
‘‘Whilst no excuse I can only attribute this breach to a lapse of concentration.
‘‘The detection was from a fixed speed camera. I was aware of its existence in that area.
‘‘I sincerely regret this occurrence and apologise to my colleagues and the community.’’
Mr Atkinson has paid the $133 fine and lost one demerit point from his licence.
He said it was still important to him to continue efforts to reduce the road toll – which include warnings against speeding.
‘‘I also acknowledge the support of the media to myself and the QPS in our combined efforts to reduce the road toll,’’ Mr Atkinson said.
‘‘The most important issue for me is that those efforts and that work continue unabated.
‘‘Despite this breach I am and remain genuinely committed to reducing the road toll and also hope to stay involved in that area after I retire from the QPS.’’
In January 2009, The Courier-Mail reported Mr Atkinson was mortified after being a passenger in the front seat of a speeding car. The police officer, who was driving the car at the time, was caught doing 72km/h in a 60km/h zone on Brisbane's Inner City Bypass about 7am.
Five years earlier, he received an infringement notice for following another vehicle too closely.
He received a speeding fine in 1998 - the year that speed cameras came to Queensland.
Today, he said this month's speeding ticket was the only one that he had received since becoming police commissioner more than 11 years ago.

Despite the elimination of most prison visitations for many months during the COVID-19 pandemic, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary has found ways to stay connected with prisoner students at the Louisiana Penitentiary in Angola.
Rick Sharkey, senior chaplain at the maximum security prison in Angola and director of the New Orleans Seminary’s extension center on the prison grounds, said classes were canceled in March 2020 and started again in November, with the 2021 semester beginning in January. Since the reopening, a masked professor has visited weekly, standing in an auditorium and teaching students — also wearing masks — in classes on subjects including church history, English composition and introduction to ministry.
The program, which dates to 1995 and has 368 graduates, currently includes 68 undergraduates and 45 graduate students.
Sharkey said that even when Angola inmates couldn’t be taught due to the pandemic, there were already trained ministers among them. More than 200 inmates — mostly taught through the seminary’s program — are leaders of dozens of churches among the prisoner population of about 5,100.
“The spiritual needs of the men were still being met by the inmate ministers that were all throughout the prison,” he said. “That’s exactly what the purpose of the school is all about: preparing men for ministry and strengthening the churches that are inside here.”
Education prepares inmates for future
Across the country, there are roughly 300 higher education programs in prisons, both religious and nonreligious, according to Lois Davis, a senior policy researcher at the nonprofit Rand Corp.
Each one has grappled this past year with whether to allow outside instructors into prison facilities to hold classes as states took action to slow the spread of COVID-19, Davis said. Some facilities ceased or substantially cut back on programming. Some educational programs suspended classes until they can be held again in person, while others found ways to adapt, such as videoconferencing.
One study by Rand found that incarcerated people who participated in those kinds of educational programs had 43% lower odds of recidivating than those who did not.
Such programs have their root in religion: Clergyman William Rogers is credited with starting the U.S. correctional education movement when he taught inmates in a Philadelphia jail in 1789.
And they are something “all of higher education can embrace,” Council for Christian Colleges & Universities President Shirley V. Hoogstra said.
She pointed to the positive effect such educational programs have on prisoners, their families and their communities, as well as Jesus’ words in Matthew 25: “I was in prison and you came to visit me.”
“An education recognizes the God-given dignity of all individuals. It provides a fresh start. And it provides the confidence to face a new future and look candidly at the past,” Hoogstra added.
