Upon reaching my mid-thirties with a wife, a kid, and a dog, it became apparent that the “dream” of renting a tiny box on the island of Manhattan was over. My family and I decided against the Brooklyn half-step, because paying Manhattan rent for a slightly bigger box that would itself be too small for our family in ten seconds seemed stupid. So we zeroed in on buying in Westchester because: Grand Central >> the holding pen at Gitmo >> buying a mule >> Penn Station >> Chernobyl >> Port Authority.
The problem of course with buying property in Westchester is that we’re poor. Not “poor” in the “I need government assistance” sense (though, more on that later). Not even poor in the “I’m a salaried employee and don’t mind when Charles Barkley makes fun of my city” sense. I mean poor in that uniquely NYC/LA/London sort of way that makes you feel “How IN THE F**K do I not make enough money to afford this?”
The other problem was that I’ve spent the better part of the last six years screaming at people to avoid crushing debt obligations. To buy a house, I’m going into more debt than I’ve ever been before, and we know that things didn’t go so smoothly the first time.
But… kids man, what are you going to do? As part of my ongoing attempts to make egregious mistakes and then write about them, here are five things I didn’t really understand about the house-buying process. Note, I had my lawyer hat on, which means I wasn’t flummoxed by things like “taxes” or “closing costs.” Still, there’s a bunch of stuff that doesn’t come up in Real Property or Trusts and Estates…
I give credit for the inspiration of this article to a writer named Seth Godin who wrote a book called The Purple Cow (affiliate link). My law firm benefited hugely from this book.
The theory of the Purple Cow in a nutshell is that you should try to STAND OUT like a purple cow would stand out from the other mere brown cows. If you don’t STAND OUT, then you just blend in, and you are nothing at all.
Okay, so that is a good point – as if you didn’t know that already. But it is not that simple. And here is why. Our instincts and everything we learn every day – our emotions, our colleagues, and our loved ones – all lead us in the safe (and wrong) direction.
A few days ago, lawyer turned television personality Ronan Farrow commented on Twitter, “All my business meetings are like ‘Blue is the Warmest Color’ and all my dates are like ‘Schindler’s List’, am I doing something wrong.” The tweet was widely retweeted and favorited by Farrow’s 250,000-plus followers (despite receiving criticism from some quarters).
It’s surprising that Farrow’s dating life isn’t going better. In addition to being extremely handsome, he’s a Rhodes Scholar and Yale Law School graduate with his own television show and celebrity parents (Mia Farrow and either Woody Allen or Frank Sinatra). What more could one ask for in a lover?
How about some solid real estate? Well, Ronan’s got that too — a New York apartment that he purchased for a seven-figure sum….
In my article of two weeks ago, I threw out the proposition that if you are running a law firm — or a department or practice group in a law firm — the critical mission is to “attract, train, retain and inspire talent.” If you can do this, you are probably going to accomplish great things — and the converse. So the question now is, how do you do it?
Below is the best I have been able to come up with. It is (mostly) from a speech I gave at an IMN conference in 2011. (You can read the original speech here.)
First — and foremost — Talent wants to be with other talented people. They crave it in their souls. They will put up with major “not nice people” and even poor working conditions, if they are convinced that other very talented people are doing it with them in the trenches. Consider Apple and Steve Jobs. He wasn’t thought of as a nice guy; indeed, quite the opposite. But when people looked around the room, they were awed at the skill sets of those in the room with them, and boy did they want to stay in that room, in the worst way. So they put up with Jobs’s not–niceness. (Of course, I do not advocate being this way as a boss — far from it.)
* Partners from Patton Boggs and Squire Sanders may vote on their merger sometime this week. Get ready to say hello to Squire Patton, House of Boggs, Hodorific of Its Name. [Reuters]
* “[E]xcuse me, sir, you may not be here in five years.” Biglaw firms are becoming more “egalitarian” about office space because attorneys have expiration dates. [National Law Journal]
* After a flat year in 2013, and much to Biglaw’s chagrin, “[i]t is going to be harder to sustain year-over-year profitability gains.” Oh joy, time to power up the layoff machine. [Philadelphia Inquirer]
* Tech giants Apple and Google have called a ceasefire in their dueling patent suits in a quest to reform patent law — and so Apple can concentrate all of its efforts on suing the sh*t out of Samsung. [Bloomberg]
* GM’s in-house legal department is being heavily scrutinized in the wake of the car maker’s ignition switch lawsuit extravaganza. You see, friends, people die when lawyers don’t even bother to lie. [New York Times]
* Donald Sterling found a lawyer willing to represent him, an antitrust maven who thinks the NBA should take its ball and go home because “no punishment was warranted” in his client’s case. [WSJ Law Blog]
* If you want to become a Supreme Court justice, you can start by attending one of these three schools. The schools that produced the most justices are Harvard Law, Yale Law, and Columbia Law. [TIME]

This Lawyerly Lair is on a pleasant, tree-lined block in Chelsea (click to enlarge).
No, we’re not talking about “law clerk” as in judge’s aide. It’s hard to afford a seven-figure home on a public servant’s salary. We’re talking about “law clerk” as in someone who’s working at a law firm, essentially as an associate, but is not yet an admitted attorney in the jurisdiction.
This “law clerk” and his partner, also a law school graduate, just picked up a spacious Manhattan co-op for a little under $1.7 million. Their housing hunt was chronicled in the pages of the New York Times. Let’s read more about them, and check out the place they finally chose….
If you are considering a virtual law practice, you know that many of today’s solo firms started that way. But why are established, multi-attorney law firms going virtual?
Many small firms are successfully moving part—or even all—of their practice to a virtual setting. This even includes multi-jurisdictional practice spanning several states and practice areas, although solo and small partnerships are still the largest adopters of virtual law.
Can you do the same? The new article Mobile in Practice, Virtual by Design from author Jared Correia, Esq., explores how mobile technology bring real-life benefits to a small law firm. Read this new article—the next in Thomson Reuters’ Independent Thinking series for small firms—to explore how a mobile practice:
Reduces malpractice risk
Enables you to gather the best attorneys to fit the firm, regardless of each person’s geographic location
Leverages mobile devices and cloud technology to enable on-the-spot client and prospect communication
Transitioning in-house is something many (if not most) firm lawyers find themselves considering at some point. For many, it’s the first step in their career that isn’t simply a function of picking the best option available based on a ranking system.
Unknown territory feels high-risk, and can have the effect of steering many of us towards the well-greased channels into large, established companies.
For those who may be open to something more entrepreneurial, there is far less information available. No recruiter is calling every week with offers and details.

It’s that time of year again when JDs are starting to apply for 2L summer jobs and 2L summers are deciding which practice area to focus on.
For those JDs with an interest in potentially lateraling to or transferring to Asia in the future, please feel free to reach out to Kinney for advice on firm choices, interviewing and practice choices, relating to future marketability in Asia, or for a general discussion on your particular Asia markets of interest.

Red jackets? Check, albeit not at home plate. Cardinals Hall of Famers will be recognized in the center field batter’s eye.
2021 Cardinals motorcade around the field? Check.
Of course, the health and safety protocols will include attendance that is limited at the start of the season to 32% capacity, or roughly 14,500 fans, as well as required masks, socially distanced seating in pods, mobile-only ticketing, cashless transactions and designated entry gates.
Fans were replaced by cardboard cutouts in the abbreviated 2020 season. The return of fans Thursday will happen 544 days after their last appearance at Busch.
Bally Sports Midwest coverage will begin at 1:30 p.m. with Cardinals Live pregame, which will encompass the pregame ceremonies starting at 2:30:

Dan McLaughlin and Brad Thompson will call the game on Bally Sports Midwest with Jim Hayes and Scott Warmann reporting. Erica Weston will host from the network’s Ballpark Village studio with analyst Rick Horton.
Tentative plans for the pregame show include player comments on the return of fans to Busch; a feature on Arenado; a feature on Wainwright; a feature on Brock and Gibson; recognition of the late Bobby Plager, Joe Cunningham and Ken Reitz; highlights from past home openers; live reports from Hayes and Warmann, and more.

Home prices are still 30% below where they were in 2007. While there are now 138 million employed in this country, that's down from 146 million in 2007.
But on an up note, there are now 47.6 million able bodied adult Americans receiving food stamps.That's up from 28 million in 2007. And an all time record since the food stamp program began. Over half of our children are receiving subsidized lunches at school.
Thanks to two "quantitative easings", which have debased the value of our dollar, food and fuel prices are at record high levels for this time of year. Times are just sooo good.

I love u Kevin i am writing a story about u
After a somewhat predictable slow start to the season, the Cavaliers have gotten rolling a bit, and have begun to pile up some victories by winning nine of their last 11 games.
They may be hard-pressed to continue that trend on Wednesday if one of their top players is unable to go at home against the Atlanta Hawks.
Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love is experiencing flu-like symptoms and will be a game-time decision tonight versus the Atlanta Hawks.
Love did not participate in morning shootaround. He went through practice on Tuesday so he must have stated to feel ill last night or this morning.
Cleveland crushed Atlanta in the first meeting between the two teams earlier this season, and Love finished that one with 13 points, six rebounds and five assists in that one.

Late last year Loretta Rosenmayer, Founder and CEO of INTREN, was given the opportunity to meet with President Obama and other industry leaders to discuss the White House's initiative for climate change. INTREN left that meeting with a pledge to reduce our impact on the environment by reducing our GHG emissions annually, purchasing clean renewable electric energy for our offices nationwide, and opening local offices to reduce office employee commute time. INTREN is happy to announce that we are moving forward towards meeting our goals.
Since establishing these initiatives, INTREN has replaced a number of vehicles used by L2CMS, INTREN’s Construction Management Solutions Division, with more eco-friendly vehicles. This change alone will reduce the CO2 output for this group by almost 50%. For our offices, INTREN has purchased 50% renewable electric energy which is energy produced from sources that are not depleted when used, such as wind or solar power. Also, we have opened several new office locations and continue to find strategic locations across the country that will help reduce commute time.
There are many more initiatives in the works that will help INTREN’s sustainability efforts environmentally, economically, and equitably which we will pursue to improve our sustainability practices.

The Supreme Court Will Decide Whether Maryland Can Display a 40-Foot Latin Cross American Civil Liberties Union
The case could drastically alter longstanding precedent protecting the separation of church and state and send a devastating message to non-Christians Last Friday, the Supreme Court announced that it will decide whether a state government’s display of a gigantic, 40-foot Latin cross as a war memorial in Bladensburg, Maryland, violates the separation of church and state. On the surface, the case appears to be about one religious monument located at one busy intersection in one…

Al-Jazeera Video: Gaza youth breaks out
"The hardships of living in Gaza have been well documented., but now a group of young Gazan students have spoken out - and they've given their first television interview to Al Jazeera.
They prefer to remain anonymous; telling the world through social media that they have had enough of the Israeli occupation, of Hamas and of the world's indifference.
It's part of a growing trend by the upcoming generation to take control of their future.
Al Jazeera's Stefanie Dekker has this story from Gaza."

Tarot Tales has undergone a few changes from inception to execution. The metamorphosis may not yet be complete.
The original concept of Tarot Tales was a series of stories within a story. The encompassing story was loosely a murder mystery and it explained the wherefore of the short stories.
However, when I began writing the short stories, I found the main cover story to be unwieldy. It had to go. Fortunately, I only stowed away all my notes rather than jettisoning them.
Then came the last short story—Death. My original idea for this tale tied into the original main story. But since that no longer existed, a new one needed to be created. I spent weeks trying different story ideas, but I kept coming back to the first one.
Frustrated, exasperated, finally resigned, I disinterred the initial enveloping narrative for reinstatement. So now I am back to the beginning. Will it remain in its present conformation? I have no idea. When I send it out for editing, it may return with the suggestion it again should be scrapped. I hope not. I have grown rather fond of the present structure.

A family have been left devastated after a stray firework resulted in the death of their beloved dog and one of its pups.
Snoop the six-year old Labrador panicked when the firework exploded close to him and was strangled by his chain.
One of his six-week old pups also died in the incident in Drogheda on Wednesday.
Leona Reynolds, 34, said she and her children are distraught at the death of their family pet.
She said: “It was a freak accident but having said that there should not be fireworks in housing estates.
“My daughter said that the firework landed in the garden and he panicked. He ended up with the chain being wrapped around his neck. It was a freak accident.”
Snoop was the father of 10 puppies and their mother, Ali, a boxer another family pet.
Leona added: “The ten pups had hidden underneath the shed and one of them also got caught up (in the chain).”
The pup also died and it took Leona and her four children – Kayla, 14, Aimee, 12, Stephen, 10 and TJ, 3, an hour to coax the remaining pups out from under the shed.
Leona said: “It was a firework that did this. It is wrong to have fireworks in a housing estate. There should be a display somewhere safe.
“I do think this was accidental but it was brought on by a firework that came into my garden.
“It is just horrible and a loss for everybody. Stephen loves football and Snoop used to play football with him.”
In recent weeks a cat and one of her kittens also died in Drogheda as a result of fireworks.
It believed that the animals died after children threw bangers at them.
Animal rights activist Sylvia Vavasour of ARAN (Animal Rights Action Network) said that these freak accidents should not happen because fireworks are illegal.
She said: “Dogs should be kept indoors. Some kids think that letting dogs out of their yards on Halloween is a great trick, but it’s a terrifying experience for dogs and they often run from the noise and the strangely dressed people and can become lost.
“As we’ve seen a mother and her kitten were blown up by fireworks two weeks ago.
“I believe education is the key in preventing these tragedies and I shortly hope ARAN will be able to enter schools and give children vital talks on caring for animals.”
Garda superintendent Gerry Smith, Drogheda said that gardai were aware of what happened. There is no investigation into it.
He said gardai, in a joint operation with Drogheda Borough Council removed up to 600 tyres and “a significant number of pallets,” which were being stored in the Rathmullen area of the town for use on a bonfire.

Leishmania major is an important trypanosomatid pathogen that causes leishmaniasis, which is a serious disease in much of the Old World. Current treatments include a small number of antimony compounds that, while somewhat effective, are limited by serious side effects. We have screened a small portion of a unique chemical library and have found at least three novel compounds that are effective against L. tarentolae and L. major in vitro and in a murine macrophage model of L. major infection. These compounds were effective in both assays at doses significantly lower than those of sodium stibogluconate (Pentostam) and represent possible candidates for drug development.

CONTROVERSIAL changes to education funding could lead to job cuts and school closures, education chiefs fear.
The changes - over which Staffordshire County Council first raised concerns in September - are designed to simplify school funding arrangements with a single pot made available to all schools, regardless of size.
Education bosses in the county feared this would see some school budgets increasing while others suffered a potentially damaging decrease.
Previously budgets were based on the size of the school and the number of pupils attending, with schools able to apply for additional funding based on
around 40 different criteria including things like the number of special needs pupils at the school, or on free meals.
Howard Stemp is a member of the Staffordshire Schools Forum and chair of governors at Wolgarston High, Penkridge and St Leonard’s First School, Dunston.
He said staff cuts and school closures were a possibility in the future.
“It’s possible, there have been cuts in some schools already. We have got to be extra careful in our expenditure so that we ensure we maintain the level of teaching throughout schools.
"The last thing in the world we want to do is to cut staff but at the end of the day a large percentage of the budget goes on staff.
“We have a lot of smaller schools with under 100 pupils and perhaps it’s diffi- cult to make two ends meet whereas with a large school economies of scale can prevail. But we have to serve our local communities and if you take the school from communities what’s left?”
Schools are also waiting to see what impact the new company run by Capita will have.
Staffordshire County Council has agreed to take responsibility for setting budgets for all schools in the county for the 2013-14 period in order to ease the transition to the new arrangements.
They have also secured a commitment from the Government to review the changes in 2014.
County councillor Ian Parry, cabinet member for education, said the county council was working hard to minimise the impact of the new arrangements.
“Funding to schools needs to be reformed, but we also need to ensure that the future viability of some of our smaller schools is safeguarded.”

It only took two weeks for JMU to fully recover from a loss to Elon.
COMPARE: Ben DiNucci v. Bryan Schor | JMU v. North Dakota State
After a dramatic two-month period that saw a 15-minute game, a rescheduled home opener, an injury to an All-American and the first conference loss of the Mike Houston era, the Dukes of JMU arrived at a well-deserved bye period last week. It was pegged as a time for some offensive improvement, alongside some healing and some light recruiting.
JMU, which currently ranks No. 3 in scoring defense (9.7 ppg) and No. 4 in total defense (252.6 ypg), entered the bye following an important bounceback win at conference rival Villanova. One week after a 27-24 loss to Elon snapped JMU's record conference win streak, Madison secured a 37-0 win over the Wildcats thanks to impressive play on defense and special teams. Jimmy Moreland blocked a punt at the end of the first quarter, and D'Angelo Amos returned back-to-back punts for touchdowns in the second half to help push JMU to a blowout win .
"You just don't want to go into the bye on a two-game losing streak," Houston said last week at his regular press luncheon. "It was really important for us to get a win at that point in the season."
[divider]MORE JIMMY MORELAND: Meet the King of Pick-Sixes | MORE JMU: What to Expect from JMU's Stretch Run[divider]
Madison used the bye as a reset, allowing a restful period for key starters — DT Adeeb Atariwa, LB Landan Word, TE Clayton Cheatham — who had all been suffering from minor or moderately severe injuries. All three players should be available this week.
But a bye doesn't necessarily translate to a complete free-for-all for Houston and his staff, who used the gameless week to sharpen the team's offensive consistency. Last week's practices also allowed for some rehearsal involving special circumstance scenarios, trick plays and more.
"Tuesday and Wednesday, we went pretty hard. On Thusday, we tried to work some different things, things you don't necessarily get the chance to work on a week-to-week basis," Houston said. "Special situations. Late game stuff. We went back, preseason camp style, and worked some live stuff on onside kicks and hands team. We worked a lot of tempo for our offense and our defense to prepare us for situations late in ball games… We tried to attack a lot of different situations and fundamental and schematical things throughout the week."
[divider]FCS STAPLES: Our Updated Playoff Bracket | Our Play of the Week Candidates[divider]
JMU made the most of its bye week by improving the product the team puts out on the field, but the best parts of the week actually stemmed from events the Dukes had no control over. Since the home loss to Elon back on Oct. 6, Madison needed a loss from Maine, as well as the Phoenix themselves, to regain control of the Colonial race. Before the calendar even flipped to November, the Dukes got both.
Maine had yet to lose a game in Colonial play, and because the Black Bears aren't on Madison's schedule, JMU needed another conference mate to hand them a loss. It got the help it needed from in-state rival William & Mary.
This is the last piece of the puzzle #JMU needed to be back in the driver’s seat for at least a share of the #CAAFB title. Towson now the lone undefeated, and the Dukes close the regular season in Maryland. https://t.co/cihPKcSSeN
— Chase Kiddy (@chaseakiddy) October 20, 2018
As for Elon, the Phoenix still own the head-to-head win over JMU, but because the CAA determines its champion primarily by winning percentage, and because Hurricane Florence canceled Elon's game with William & Mary, the Phoenix were disadvantaged following their Oct. 13 loss at Delaware. One-loss Elon is mathematically unable to rank ahead of any other one-loss CAA team, regardless of any head-to-head advantages, because of its abbreviated seven-game conference schedule.
Towson, the only team still undefeated in CAA play, is currently in first place in the Colonial. The Tigers go to Delaware this weekend and close with JMU in Maryland on Nov. 17.
With all the carnage piling up around it, JMU's bye week was about as good as could have been hoped for. But the party ended on Monday, as Houston has begun preparing his team for a tough, physical matchup with growing rival Stony Brook. The Seawolves are coming off a 52-14 annihilation of high-flying Rhode Island and will want to avenge a 2017 playoff loss that saw quarterback Joe Carbone throw five interceptions.
"Stony Brook is ranked 15th in the country coming into the game, which is another great example of how meaningless rankings are. I see them as one of the top teams in FCS Football," Houston said on Tuesday. "They are a very complete football team, and it's going to be a really challenging game for our squad on Saturday."

The Lost Art of Reading Nature's Signs: Use Outdoor Clues to Find Your Way, Predict the Weather, Locate Water, Track Animals—and Other Forgotten Skills Paperback – Illustrated, July 31 2015
From the Publisher
Meet the Natural Navigator!
New York Times–bestselling author Tristan Gooley has led expeditions on five continents, climbed mountains in three, and is the only living person to have both flown and sailed solo across the Atlantic. His more than two decades of pioneering outdoor experience include research among tribal peoples in some of the remotest regions on Earth.
"Gooley interprets clues like a private investigator of the wilds, leaving no stone unturned . . . For those inclined to solve mysteries written into the landscape, this author's lead is one they'll want to follow."-The Wall Street Journal
"[Gooley] has become the global expert on natural navigation, finding his way around the world using nothing but natural clues and pointers. His discovery (made on a sailing expedition to Iceland)-that if, when at sea, you see more than 10 birds in any given five minute window this means you are within 40 miles of land-has become part of the British military's survival guidance."-The Daily Beast
"How rare to find a book that is truly brilliant. The Lost Art of Reading Nature's Signs, by Tristan Gooley, is brilliant in the English slang sense (as in being terrific); it is brilliant in its comprehensive conveyance of all the ways to interpret natural and man-made landscapes; and brilliance glitters from Gooley's sparkling wit."-Foreword
"Gooley's comprehensive volume should pique the curiosity of budding nature-lovers and is ideal for anyone keen on forging a deeper connection with the land."-Publishers Weekly
"While Gooley's tips encompass useful, practical ways to predict a change in weather, determine when a predator may be prowling and find true North at night, his true gift is in igniting curiosity and wonder about the world around us."-Shelf Awareness
"In terms of sheer did-you-knows per page it is one of the richest, densest, most rewarding books on nature I have read in a long time . . . its joy in deduction is infectiously delightful."
-James McConnachie, The Sunday Times
"I for one will never look at the . . . countryside in quite the same way again."
-Stephen Moss, Countryfile Magazine
"Gooley can show the most moonstruck how to interpret their surroundings. Even the intrepid Bear Grylls could learn a trick or two from this book."-The Times
"Feel more confident in your outdoorsiness!"-BookRiot
"Anyone interested in walking out of doors at any time would be well advised to read this excellent book."-The Royal Institute of Navigation
"As with his earlier, equally important The Natural Navigator, this text is densely packed with information, engagingly and clearly written . . . Every outdoor-lover should have at least one Tristan Gooley book in their library. He's attained national treasure status, as useful and educative as he is endearingly unique."-The Great Outdoors magazine
"Learning so much [ ] that I might have to take another long walk"-Nicholas Crane

Also Turkish Airlines is flying to Milan for $765 return. Flew Turkish a couple of months ago from this deal. Flights were good, meals were meh and immigration is a bit disorganised in Istanbul but otherwise pretty good.

I would also check the fuel injectors. Checking both the ignition coils and injectors is fairly easy but a little time consuming. You need to remove the cam position sensor (CPS) and with the key in the acc position turn it manually. You should hear each injector making an audible clicking sound. To check the ignition coils, pull each one (leaving it connected to the wire harness), put a known to be good spark plug in it, and turn the CPS until you see a spark. There is a better description of the process in the factory service manual I downloaded (for free, although it is nice to give a donation) from PhatG20 (see sticky above).

Lloyd Grove is best known for his biting wit and nose for gossip, but recently he shared a trip down memory lane with the readers of his Daily Beast column entitled The Prince and the Pauper. Grove and Petrello were roommates at Harvard in the 1970s. Grove describes Petrello as a math genius who was expected by one professor to pursue a future in academia as a mathematician. Instead, Tony Petrello attended Yale law school and later, after a stint at a white-shoe New York City law firm, joined Nabors Industries.
Petrello first started at the firm in 1991 as the Chief Operating Officer, leaving the law firm of Baker & McKenzie to join this client of the firm. By 2011 Tony was leading the firm and under his successful guidance taking Nabors from one success to another. In 2014 Petrello was listed as the Associated Press’s highest paid executive for the year, with his annual salary clocking in at a whopping $68.2 million. Nabors Industries is one of the world’s largest oil and gas drilling companies.
When Lloyd Grove called Nabors Industries in the hopes that he may reconnect with his old Freshman year roommate, he was informed that, unsurprisingly, the business titan was not available. To his surprise, Lloyd soon received an email from his former college roommate stating that a large part of much success comes down to being good or being lucky. Mr. Petrello then commented that he has been very lucky in all of his business endeavors.

The short-time polymerization of isoprene under the action of a TiCl4/MgCl2−i-Bu3Al heterogeneous catalyst has been investigated. Pulse mixing of the catalyst and monomer in a cylindrical tubular reactor with a certain length followed by ethanol injection has made it possible to carry out polymerization for 0.1−0.7 s. In the first 0.3 s, when there is a considerable rise in the activity of the catalyst, living polymerization of isoprene takes place. In this period, polyisoprene has up to 95% trans-1,4 units. Extending the polymerization time to 0.7 s diminishes the average molar mass of polyisoprene, broadens its molar mass distribution, and decreases the concentration of trans-1,4 units to 83%. The data of this study have been analyzed on the basis of the kinetic continuity of the polymer chain initiation and growth.

Russia has been a happy hunting ground for Hapoel Tel Aviv this season. They defeated Ural Great early on in the FIBA Europe League in Perm and beat Dynamo Moscow away in the play-offs. Today in Kazan, they beat Ural Great for the 2nd time to claim 3rd place in the FEL.
Although players can sometimes fail to get motivated in consolation games, this contest was competitive throughout, and it took overtime to separate the 2 sides. The difference proved to be the Tel Aviv backcourt, led by little-heralded point guard Dror Hagag. Hagag, at 180 cm the smallest player on the court, scored 8 points in overtime and capped the contest by blocking a Ruslan Avleev 3-point attempt which he converted into a fast break lay-up to seal the victory.
It was Ural Great the made the early running. Ruslan Avleev scored 8 first quarter points for the Russians as their lead reached as much as 10 points.
|Dror Hagag was the star of the game for Tel Aviv|
Into the fourth, it was Tel Aviv who seemed to have the stronger legs. Michael Wright scored 10 points in the period and they established a 6-point lead, 84:90. Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf answered with a three-pointer, but when Wright came from nowhere to block an Avleev breakaway lay-up attempt, Tel Aviv had the ascendancy.
However, Wright fouled out on the next play and a jumper from Darren Fenn tied the score at 93:93. Lior Lubin hit 2 clutch free throws to give Tel Aviv the lead, but it was Rauf who answered and his bank shot with 10 seconds remaining tied the score again. Lubin had the chance to win the game, but Rauf stripped him of the ball and Tel Aviv did not have enough time to get off a shot.
In overtime, Hagag was the undoubted star. His jump shot and drive opened up a 4-point gap, and his free throws and breakaway lay-up sealed the victory.
He finished the game with a team-high 26 points (10/15 shooting), 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Wright had 21 points, Praskevicius 19 (along with 9 rebounds and 6 assists) and Lubin 18.
Avleev was outstanding for Ural Great and scored a game-high 29 points while Abdul-Rauf added 19.

Oil is being extracted in the Dakotas via both fracking and non-fracking methods, so banning fracking would not stop the pipeline since the oil produced by methods other than fracking (enormous amounts of light sweet crude) would still need to be transported somehow and a pipeline is the cheapest (in the long-term) and safest in terms of frequency of spills but most dangerous in terms of severity of spills as compared to trucking and rail transport. The most dangerous thing about the DAPL is that it would pass under the Missouri River. A major oil spill into one of the largest rivers in North America that supplies water to millions would be a major national or regional disaster.
This pipeline could be prevented from being constructed via regulatory action by Federal or State agencies or even by an Executive Order, but as we have seen so far the State authorities seem to have little to no sympathy with protesters. However Federal Authorities, especially President Obama have taken some sympathetic action in favor of the pipeline’s opponents such as temporarily blocking construction of the pipeline (subsequently reversed by a Federal court) and ordering a DOJ investigation into violence against protesters by local and state police and private security.
It is unlikely that Obama would issue an Executive Order stopping construction on the pipeline for three reasons. One reason is that the Executive Order would only prevent construction until the end of the year when it would expire, only to be renewed or not by the next President. The other reasons are that Obama fears that such an action would have a negative effect on Clinton’s chances of beating Trump in the election and that stopping construction of pipelines generally will not decrease fracking or make transport of oil safer.
The issue of the pipeline’s proposed route from the Dakotas to Illinois is another issue. Originally this leg of the pipeline was not meant to pass through or immediately adjacent to tribal land. The original route would have passed through a populated non-tribal/non-native area. After objections from that community on health, safety, and environmental grounds the route of the pipeline was changed to pass through Federal and privately held land within and near the Standing Rock Reservation. The reasons for this appear to be racist and this is one of the most obvious reasons to oppose this route of this pipeline.
The two main protest camps are on two very different pieces of land and have been treated very differently by authorities. The larger and more peaceful camp is on Federally owned land and protesters have been allowed to maintain their camp by Federal authorities. The smaller camp where most of the arrests and violence have occurred is on privately owned land recently sold to the company building the pipeline. Protesters are being arrested and removed from the property because they are indeed committing the crime of “trespassing” according to the current land deed and real estate law.
Complicating this issue, the private land was tribal land in the past, but since the tribe allowed private land ownership and sales of land it was eventually sold to farmers who sold it to the oil company. The Tribe is claiming eminent domain to regain tribal control of the land, but this is not how it is supposed to be done. There must be a court order granting eminent domain transfer of land title, then notices need to presented to the current land owner announcing the date by which they must vacate the premises and how much compensation they will receive for the land.
If the land title is transferred back to the tribe it would force part of the pipeline to find another route but the pipeline would still be built with a bypass steering further away from Standing Rock. If the Tribe is serious about the eminent domain claim they should lawyer up and fight it all the way to the Supreme Court. It could set some very useful legal precedents regarding tribal land issues, environmental issues, and eminent domain issues.
Banning fracking would be a good thing but it won’t stop all oil production and won’t stop the need for oil to be transported either via pipelines or by truck and train.
Stopping the pipeline from passing through tribal land won’t stop the pipeline from being constructed altogether.
Federal authorities have the legal authority to either remove or allow protesters on the federal land and have chosen to allow the protests.
The private land owner, who is one and the same as the pipeline construction company, has the right to request local and state law enforcement to remove protesters from their land.
The President is right to demand a DOJ investigation into violence against protesters.
Native Americans are right to oppose a pipeline (or truck or trains) transporting oil near their homes, water sources, burial grounds, and ancestral land.
Americans have the right to oppose oil pipelines crossing major waterways such as the Missouri River.
People of the world have the right to demand that their governmental and industrial leaders invest more in renewable energy sources to reduce the need for oil, but as long as we are consuming oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear we need to understand that these energy products which power our homes require transportation and that transportation always comes with potential risk to the environment and community.

A place to read, relax and relate!
In my previous post Genre Who?, I asked you to decide whether you were going the fiction or non-fiction route. With that decision made you now need to determine what or who you will write about. Having talked to many would be writers, I find that normally they already know the answer to this. They have been thinking about it for a while and are just trying to figure out how to start.
However, there are some who are overwhelmed with all the ideas they have for stories. They are torn and can’t decide which one to write. If this is you I have one question; which one do you think about the most? Still doesn’t narrow it down? I have another question; which one causes excitement to rise in you when you think about it? Still not sure, well here is my final question. Which one do you think will be most impactful? If none of those questions prompts you to make a choice I now have a statement for you. If you can’t decide just pick one and commit to getting that story written.
It’s time to decide in order to move forward. No more excuses about why you haven’t written and published that book. You can do it and I’m here to help you do it. It’s not as complicated as you think, but it will require your time, effort, commitment and you investing in publishing your book.
If you are new to writing a book or self-publishing and want to follow along as I share what I’ve learned, either subscribe to receive my blog posts at www.jenettambradley.com or request to be added to my group on Facebook, JB’s Writers Studio where the links to the posts will be shared. The group will also be a place for members to ask questions and share information.

Move, or attack?
When in battle you can move and attack - obvious, eh - but you can get in more of the actions you want if you're conservative about it.
For example, yes, you can start your turn by moving towards the exit or towards an enemy, but if you are able to use an attack or ability without moving, you'll be able to make a second move after.
Likewise, if you no attacks or abilities you wish to use, you can move twice instead of once, covering much more distance.
Your ranged champions are great in battle since they can hang back, but sometimes it might be a better idea to not have them attack anyone at all.
Your ranged champions, if they do not attack on their turn, will unleash a surprise attack on enemies that wander into their range. This surprise shot can be used to easily defeat some opponents without you ever having to even attack.
Keeping one or two ranged combatants back and ready to pick off spawning enemies is always a good idea.
Each champion in Warhammer: Silver Tower has their own unique ability to use in battle, and these vary wildly.
Some might be more simple buff or debuffs for yourself or enemies, while arguably the more useful abilities are those which do big damage to your opponents with very little concern.
Abilities usually take at least two to three turns just to become active, and once your move is ready you should be careful not to waste it!
A swift exit
Once you've done with most stages, your goal will be to escape to the exit, and I have to admit, the first time I got this goal I went the wrong way.
Just to save you from making my mistakes, check the map for the exit icon - it almost looks like a small target - you'll usually clear a stage as long as you get your whole team into the exit area.
A lot of stages ask you to go in, defeat a certain number of enemies, and then head to the exit, so it might be best to double check where exits are in a stage before you even get started.

Will Justin Bieber be prosecuted for spitting in a neighbors face and threatening to kill him?
Back in March, Bieber was driving his Ferrari at incredibly high speeds through his Calabasas neighborhood, but the pop stars erratic driving infuriated one neighbor. The neighbor allegedly confronted Bieber on his front lawn, and that’s when Justin spit on the neighbor and threatened to kill him.
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department sent the case to the DA’s, who will determine whether or not the “As Long As You Love Me” singer will be charged with battery.

Once upon a time a group of British comedy writers and performers – including Four Lions director Chris Morris, Veep/Death of Stalin creator Armando Iannuci, and Steve “Alan Partridge” Coogan – got their big breaks on BBC radio in the form of On the Hour, a comedy program satirising both the news of the day and radio news as a format. Much like The Hitchhiker’s Guide To the Galaxy before them and The League of Gentlemen after them, the On the Hour team got the chance to take their concept and unleash it on television.
With Chris Morris himself in the “lead news anchor” role, using his own name in keeping with the series’ love of pranks based on blending reality and fantasy, the show was one of 1994’s critical successes and spawned a substantially more controversial followup on Channel 4 – 1997’s Brass Eye. Let’s take a look back and see how they’ve aged.
The Day Today
The Day Today makes an immediate visual impact, and is a masterpiece of visual presentation even before the actual underlying writing is considered. It makes extensive use of out-of-context clips from the actual news, a visual style for the in-studio segments parodying the worst excesses of TV news of the era (and which remains a solid stab at the style of TV news today), and faked reports and extracts from other shows rounding out the episodes; it’s effectively a sketch comedy show where the sketches are framed as news reports.
The production team show an uncanny knack for mimicing the styles of media of the era, as is evident right from the first episode, which includes an extract from a US news report from “CBN” on a convicted serial killer who elects to be executed in a manner inspired by the death of his hero, Elvis. (He’s sitting on a toilet that’s been converted to an electric chair, which will electrocute him once he’s eaten enough burgers.)
