Our Pick of Canberra’s 5 Best Fried Chicken Meals
Fried chicken works for any meal! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, midnight snack… Luckily for you, we’ve scouted out five amazing fried chicken spots in Canberra for every meal of the day!
Are you a fan of meat? If so, it’s probably fair to say you’ll get on pretty well with Smoque. It’s basically a love letter to the hearty grub of the Southern US, so make sure you arrive with an empty stomach. The fried chicken is very authentic, and the ‘Southern Bell’ is particularly delicious. It’s a big heaping plate of tender chicken, waffles and honey butter, and it’s just amazing.
Have you visited Smoque? Let us know what you think and leave a review!
“Better Value – Awesome Chips” is the kind of slogan we can get behind. It’s simple, elegant and tells us all exactly what we want to hear. Kingsley’s is about much more than a slogan, of course, and this beloved Canberra institution is the go-to choice for many locals seeking a fast and filling fix. Try the Southern Fry with Coleslaw. You definitely won’t regret it!
“Canberrans are born and raised on the deliciousness of Kingsley’s chips. May not be the healthiest of foodstuffs, but certainly the best hot comfort food for a cold day, and affordable too! 1.75 for small chips, and they fill the packets to the brim.” – Cathclas
If you happen to enjoy your chicken with a little extra class, you might want to give Public a try. It’s one of those new-fangled ‘gastropub’, and it’s a very lovely space in which to shovel large quantities of food into your face. The fried chicken with chilli soy sauce packs a tasty punch, and goes down very well amidst the stony, leafy surrounds.
Have you made your way down to Public? Why not review it on True Local?
It’s time to get a little more Filipino, don’t you think? That’s why we’re off to Kusina, Canberra’s premier purveyor of delectable alimasag, ukoy, bulalo and ginisang. Today, however, we’re focussing on the mighty pritong manok – a set of crispy fried chicken wings slathered in banana ketchup mayonnaise. It’s pretty much heaven in your mouth.
What did you think of Kusina? Let us know with a review!
You can’t write about fried chicken without mentioning Korea, and you can’t mention Korea without a shout out to Tosung Charcoal BBQ. This elegant, authentic Korean eatery is one of the most popular restaurants around, and not without good reason. Do yourself a favour and order the Kkan Pung Ki. It’s deep fried chicken in a beautiful spicy sauce, and it totally rocks.

After giving me the grim news that I had Alzheimer’s, my gerontologist suggested I play cognitive games online. “It will help you with your dementia,” he promised. “It will help you!”
Playing may be funny, but it didn’t heal me.
I began reading books about Alzheimer’s. One doctor encouraged me to become a vegetarian. That was funny. I have been a vegetarian for the past 35 years.
In another book, the author, a renown doctor, suggested getting a diploma. I already have several. Believe me, they don’t help.
The list of things that were suggested that didn’t work could go on and on; but suffice is to say, all these things will not heal us. Only One can heal! Jesus! It wasn’t until I began to bask in the Words of Jesus Christ about healing that things began to improve. You see, the more we seek healing from other places, the less will happen.
I have begun reading everyday about Jesus and how He healed people. Every time I read these encouragements from my Heavenly Father, I can feel His love and I can hear Him speaking to me softly: “You are not alone. I am with you.”
Take for instance, this Bible Verse: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10 NIV). Let’s break it apart, bit by bit:
“Do not fear.” Our Holy Father tells us not to be fearful. Why? “For I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.” Our Heavenly Father will not abandon you. He will be with you forever!
Then He says: “I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Our Father will strengthen you and help you. The more we get to know Him, the closer we will be to Him and the more we are with Him, the more we will love Him. Our Heavenly Daddy will stay with us and strengthen us, always. After all, He loves us! Isn’t this amazing? Our Father loves us and He will give victory! We are not alone, for our Heavenly Father is with us!
Why worry? Our Father is with you.

Are You At Risk Of Losing Your Property? Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Can Help
If you are in the middle of financial problems, it's understandable to fear that you will lose your property that you still have a mortgage on. Declaring bankruptcy can help save your property instead of giving it back to the bank. Here is what you need to know about Chapter 11 bankruptcy and how it relates to real estate.
How Is Using Chapter 11 Unique From Other Forms of Bankruptcy?
There are several characteristics of Chapter 11 that will make it different from the other bankruptcy options available to you. The most important one is that you'll be granted an automatic stay while filing your Chapter 11 petition. This means that creditors will not be able to go after you in terms of wage garnishment, bank levies, or repossessions while your bankruptcy is being processed. It's your first step in getting your finances organized.
Chapter 11 typically gives you 4 months to get everything done, but a judge can extend it to as long as 18 months as well. This time frame is important to keep in mind, since you'll be using this time period to get your finances organized and avoid losing your property.
You'll also be able to discharge unsecured debts, and put that money towards paying off your mortgage.
How Does Chapter 11 Work?
You will work with your mortgage lender to come up with an alternate solution that still allows you to repay the loan. It can include extending the loan period, or decreasing how much interest you pay. Believe it or not, your mortgage lender does not want you to default on your loan. They would rather work with you in finding a way for you to continue making payments.
Another option involves reducing the principal that you owe. This can happen in a situation where the property is worth less than what you still owe. For example, if a $200,000 home drops in value by $75,000 to $125,000, a judge can decide to reduce your principal amount by $75,000. This is because if the property is truly worth less than what you still owe, the bank would get the same amount if they repossessed the property and sold it themselves. By having you to continue paying the loan at a lower amount, they will still receive the interest.
If you have more questions about how Chapter 11 bankruptcy can help prevent the loss of your property, speak with a bankruptcy lawyer like Jeffrey S Arnold Attorney At Law P.C. They will help walk you through the entire process, and help negotiate with your mortgage lender for you.

Before you use credit for major purchases, ask yourself some questions:
- What are the opportunity costs of postponing this purchase?
- What are the dollar and psychological costs of using credit for this purchase?
Example: If take home pay is $2,000 per month limit the total amount you owe on credit account minus auto and house payments to $2,000 at any time.

After two years of pandemic disruption, downtown nightlife is finally returning to Minneapolis and St. Paul. Especially on weekends, the lineup of concerts, major sports, Broadway shows, local theater, and packed dance clubs is starting to resemble the old days as people return to face-to-face interaction. For a fan of cities, culture, or fellowship that can only be found downtown, it’s a good sign.
But downtown nights are still missing a critical piece: late-night rail service. Transit is never as appealing as during a big downtown event, but anyone coming downtown on the train runs the risk of being stranded, as I was recently, by the early departure of the last ride out of town. The problem is that a years-long driver shortage has been worsened by the pandemic, forcing Metro Transit to leave riders waiting for a midnight train that never arrives.
Anyone who’s visited a large, thriving city knows the symbiosis between nightlife and transit. Taking the train downtown for an evening of bar hopping or music is a relief compared to worrying about parking or sobriety. In my younger years, living in New York City, I remember fondly late-night subway rides after a night out eating pizza by the slice or meeting friends in Manhattan nooks. Visiting Boston over the years, I was always struck by the fact that their last train on the Red Line T ran so early, around midnight.
Here in the Twin Cities, long hours were one of the most appealing things about the Green Line’s debut in 2014. At the time, the train offered all-night service between St. Paul and Minneapolis, and it felt like we had finally graduated to “real city” status, becoming a place where it was possible to be somewhat nocturnal. When the 2017 all-night Northern Spark art festival relied on all-night Green Line service to transport participants from event to event, it illustrated the freedom that comes along with 24-hour transit cities.
The night-owl heyday didn’t last. In 2019, Metro Transit ended Green Line service between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., mostly due to concerns about unsheltered people spending the night on the seats. Looking back now, it’s hard to believe people complained about those service cuts. These days, the last weekday trains out of either downtown depart around 11:20 p.m., and there aren’t any more until the wee hours of the morning (4:30 a.m. or 5:00 a.m. for the Blue and Green Lines, respectively).
Not enough drivers
Every few months, Metro Transit updates its Service Plan and adjusts the route schedules, tweaking the frequency and hours, and right now the light rail service remains curtailed. The problem began when COVID hit, transit ridership cratered alongside most travel.
But the limiting factor these days isn’t riders, it’s the drivers. Even though there’s demand, the agency just doesn’t have rail operators available to run trains after 11:15 p.m.
“In the latest quarterly service adjustments, we weren’t able to yet begin adding back service,” said Laura Baenen, senior communications specialist for Metro Transit. “It’s still suspended temporarily, and we still need more operators and other employees.”
Normally, Metro Transit employs about 1,400 operators, but today that number is down by around 20%. As Baenen points out, the driver shortage is something that’s been a problem at the agency for years. Even before the pandemic, the shortage led to service cuts.
The pandemic made the shortage far worse, thanks to both existing drivers being out sick and a highly competitive labor market with the lowest unemployment in state history. When ridership remained low, the labor shortfall was easier to deal with, but as ridership has recovered, service has been slow to follow.
Even so, Laura Baenen claims the agency is working hard to attract new hires, emphasizing an excellent package of benefits and salary.
“Our employees get pensions, and for a lot of businesses that’s something people overlook,” said Baenen. “There are lots of opportunities to earn overtime. [And] you don’t have to come to Metro Transit with a commercial drivers’ license. We’ll train people. You just need to have either a high school diploma or a GED, and a clean driving record.”
As part of the outreach effort, Metro Transit has been running recruiting fairs for months. There are two hiring events in the first week of May, on Saturday, May 7 and Wednesday, May 11, both at the downtown headquarters.
Late-night service should be a priority
As COVID rates have dropped and mobility patterns have returned to something resembling normal, transit is evolving. Systemwide, ridership at Metro Transit has recovered to about half its pre-COVID numbers, though those rates are very unevenly distributed. Suburban routes and commuting remain a small fraction of their prior rates, while all-day urban routes, like the core light rail, have returned at a much faster pace.
That disparity means that it’s even more important to bring back light rail service. For many folks in the Twin Cities, as downtown comes back to being a core place for social life and community camaraderie, transit serves as a lynchpin. We need to make sure that people coming out of extra-inning ballgames, concert encores, or clubs don’t have to rely on driving back to their homes at night. Metro Transit should make it a priority to bring late-night service and find workers for those routes.
Until they add drivers, that won’t be happening. Even for national spectacles like the Women’s Final Four that took place last month, the agency struggled to serve riders into the night.
“We can’t add service, and are reminding people that you need to plan accordingly,” Baenen admitted, even for big events. “If we’re able to, at the last minute, we’ll add some trains, but with the staffing situation we can’t promise anything.”

Not many artists have inspired more passion and fan adoration than Bruce Springsteen. For decades, "The Boss" has enthralled audiences with his fun rock anthems and emotional ballads. His lyrics are profoundly American, which has made Springsteen a hero among working class citizens. If you've ever been to one of his concerts, you know that they're not just shows, but three-hour parties that leave you with a memory that will last a lifetime.
In 2013, Springsteen was in the midst of a giant concert in London. One of his traditions is that whenever he plays his smash hit "Dancing in the Dark," he invites someone from the crowd to dance with him on stage. On this day, though, he had a very special person in mind to dance with him. Standing just offstage was Bruce's mom Adele, who was 89 years old. So when he began to play the song, he invited his mom on stage to share a dance with him.
When the audience realized who the special lady was, they erupted into cheers and were ecstatic to share in this special moment with Bruce and his mom. Even today, Bruce is known to bring his mom on stage and if you are lucky enough to be there, you know how awesome it is to see them together. It's the best Mother's Day present anyone could give.
Be sure to SHARE this remarkable story with your friends and family.

NASA’s history-making Ingenuity Mars Helicopter has ended its mission at the Red Planet after surpassing expectations and making dozens more flights than planned. While the helicopter remains upright and in communication with ground controllers, imagery of its January 18 flight sent to Earth indicates one or more of its rotor blades sustained damage during landing and it is no longer capable of flight.
Originally designed as a technology demonstration to perform up to five experimental test flights over 30 days, the first aircraft on another world operated from the Martian surface for almost three years, performed 72 flights, and flew more than 14 times farther than planned while logging more than two hours of total flight time.
NASA has proven powered, controlled flight is possible on other worlds, just as the Wright brothers proved it was possible on Earth.
“The historic journey of Ingenuity, the first aircraft on another planet, has come to end,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “That remarkable helicopter flew higher and farther than we ever imagined and helped NASA do what we do best – make the impossible, possible. Through missions like Ingenuity, NASA is paving the way for future flight in our solar system and smarter, safer human exploration to Mars and beyond.”

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The war against parental rights is happening at school districts in every corner of America. “Equity consultants” are making millions of dollars off the back of taxpayers to train teachers to view everything through the lens of critical race theory, and then transform education by applying those lessons through teaching children that America’s institutions, monuments, traditions, holidays, language, and foundational principles are systemically, irredeemably racist.
America as we know it must be disrupted and dismantled for a more “just” society.
What woke Americans up was the transparency brought forth through the COVID pandemic lockdowns. For the first time, as their children participated in remote learning, many parents were able to look behind the curtain and see that schools were no longer focused on giving children the educational building blocks to succeed in the real world – math, science, reading, and writing. Rather, schools have embraced a new role of changing the belief system of children, regardless of what their parents want.
EDUCATION CONSULTANT USES CRITICAL RACE THEORY TO TRAIN SCHOOL TEACHERS, STAFF, ACCORDING TO DOCUMENTS
As a groundswell of parents started to speak out, the left, its media allies, and even our nation’s top law enforcement agencies went into overdrive to treat these parents as racist rubes.
Throughout this debate, we have heard that “critical race theory is simply a way to learn about the past” that “critical race theory is not taught in elementary schools or high schools” and that it is merely “teaching accurate history” and is only taught in law school and college.
America First Legal acquired narrative-shattering documents as part of its litigation against the Tredyffrin/Easttown Area School District (TESD) in Pennsylvania. They prove – unequivocally – the left’s dishonest gaslighting. Indeed, critical race theory is being taught in schools.
LAWS BANNING CRITICAL RACE THEORY: EXPERTS WEIGH IN ON BENEFITS, CONCERNS OF EDUCATION LAWS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
This past winter, TESD parent Ben Auslander exercised his legal right to inspect the documents from teacher trainings that were being used by TESD. The teacher trainings were developed by The Pacific Educational Group, a consulting organization that relies on its “Framework for Systemic Racial Equity Transformation” to contract with school districts and corporations that want to be more woke.
While inspecting the documents, Auslander began making voice notes of what he was reading. When the administrator for TESD saw this, he told Auslander that this was a copyright violation and ended the inspection.
WHAT IS CRITICAL RACE THEORY?
On Auslander’s behalf, America First Legal filed a lawsuit against the district in federal court for violating his First Amendment rights. Through that litigation, we were able to acquire the treasure trove of teacher training materials that TESD and PEG had tried so hard to hide.
Those documents show that critical race theory is absolutely being implemented to transform public schools.
The slides demonstrate that the application of critical race theory by teachers is crucial to a “School Transformation Action Plan” and that the intersection of critical race theory with “schooling” is the key to systemic change.
That is why teachers at TESD were instructed on the five tenets of critical race theory and asked to examine issues through those lenses and apply the lessons learned through that examination to achieve “equity.” The tenets are “counter-storytelling,” “the permanence of racism,” “whiteness as property,” “interest convergence,” and “critique of liberalism.”
NEW YORK’S CURRICULUM IS CRITICAL RACE THEORY BY ANOTHER NAME
Specifically, in the “critique of liberalism,” teachers were encouraged to deconstruct and challenge colorblindness, race neutrality, incremental change, equality vs. equity, and the myth of meritocracy.
Notably, nowhere in the presentation is there any discussion of “true history” – rather, it is all theory and bankrupt, race-based Marxist philosophy.
But the training goes even further when it asks teachers “What Does It Mean To Be White?”
In this section, it takes dozens of traits like the following and assigns them to “whiteness”:
-“Whites are taught to see themselves as individuals, rather than as part of a racial group.”
-“Independence and autonomy highly valued and rewarded.”
-“Must always ‘do something’ about a situation.”
-“Hard work is the key to success” and “work before play.”
-“Emphasis on scientific method.”
-“Adherence to rigid time schedules” and “plan for the future.”
-“Nuclear family (father, mother, 2.3 children) is the ideal social unit.”

This is racism defined.
First, it assigns specific traits to people of a particular skin color – white.
Second, it assumes that non-white individuals do not also value and exhibit those traits because of a different skin color.
Unfortunately, these trainings are not limited to one school district or one consultant. In fact, much of the controversy in Loudoun County, Virginia last year can be traced back to the hiring of the Equity Collaborative, an equity consultant whose CEO who once worked for the Pacific Educational Group and similarly trains teachers to apply critical race theory to their work.

What we are witnessing is taxpayer-funded consultants and woke school systems using terms like “equity” and “culturally responsive teaching” to hide from parents a very dangerous philosophy that is not only anti-American, but seeks to undo Age of Enlightenment concepts like free will, individual liberty, Constitutional jurisprudence, and the scientific method.
To fight back, America will need more parents to stand up, take legal action and protect their rights to have a say in their child’s education.

ACTRESS Jennifer Aniston has admitted that the huge amounts of support she received since her much-publicised split with husband Brad Pitt helped her get through a rocky few months.
In her first interview since the break-up, the Friends star admits it has been a tough year and that she felt people had been pulling on her "100%".
"There is always gonna be the rough and the nasty and you just tune out to that because people, for some reason, just have to do that," she told US show Access Hollywood.
Aniston gave no details about her personal life in the interview. Neither she nor Pitt have spoken publicly about their decision to end their marriage after four and a half years.
But despite negative publicity and rumours that Pitt was having an affair with actress Angelina Jolie, Aniston, 36, said she still felt the public was behind her.
"There has been so much love and support," she added. "It feels real good."
The actress managed to laugh off the ironic title of her next movie, The Breakup.
"Well, you know. I figured just seize the moment," she said.

ESTRADIOL TOCURE RESTENOSIS; The ESTRACURE-1 Trial.
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE
Since its clinical introduction some 20 years ago, angioplasty (PCTA) has increased in popularity as a clinically effective method for improving blood flow though stenosis or occluded arteries. However, over the next 3 to 6 months, restenosis occurs in approximiately 30-40% of patients, thereby constituting a significant limitation to the long-term success of this procedure. A number of trials using drugs effective in animals for reducing restinosis have produced negative clinical results. The complexity of the restenosis process, species particularities, and sub-optimal drug dosing may partially explain these differences. Restenosis is predominantly due to neointimal hyperplasia and constrictive remodeling. Inadequate compensatory enlargment of a vessel after angioplasty (inadequate vascular remodeling) is considered an important mechanism of post-PTCA restenosis. Constrictive remodeling can be effectively countered by the use of stents, which may account for the decreased incidence of restenosis observed with their use. Despite the use of stents, restenosis continued to limit the long-term success of PTCA. Stenting may provoke an exuberant proliferative response compared to balloon angioplasty. The favorable effect of stents in countering constrictive remodeling is therefore in some cases offset by the increased neointimal hyperplasis associated with stenting, causing difficult to treat in-stent restenosis. Although brachytherapy has been reported to show beneficial effects, few effective therapies existed at this time of neointimal proliferation. Vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration and proliferation occur as early as 36 hours following arterial injury. The number of SMC in the neointima peaks around 2 weeks and cell replication rate after these first few weeks is countered by cell death. Accumulation of extracellular matrix and connective tissue which may constitute the bulk of neointima further increases the intimal thickness. Several mitogens including acidic and basic fioroblast growth factors (aFGF, bFGF), insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), thrombin, angiotensin II, endothelin stimulate SMC proliferation.
Rule of 17B-Estradiol and Estrogen Receptors in the Cardiovascular
Migration and proliferation of vascular cells remains a cornerstone in neointimal formation and vascular healing. Cardioprotective effects of estrogens have been described in animal and human studies. However, the intracellular mechanisms related to these effects remain poorly understood. In previous studies, we have shown that a single local delivery of 17-beta-estradiol (17BE) prevented restenosis following PTCA (fig. 1).
Fig. 1. 17B-Estradiol PTCA only Vehicle
In a preliminary study, we demonstrated the presence of the two estrogen receptors (ER) proteins. The presence was revealed using anti-ERa or anti-ERb )1:1000 dilution, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) by western blot (Fig. 2). The confirmation of the existence of the ER in the endothelial cells (EC) and smooth muscle cells (SMC) was crucial to the potential success of this clinical study.
1) To evaluate the effects of local delivery of 176-E on late luminal
loss and restenosis after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).
Since more than 80% of patients undergo stent implantation, it is critical
to evaluate the benefit of local delivery of 17B-E following stent implantation.
We have observed a similar reduction in restenosis after stenting with
17B-E administration in a porcine coronary artery model (submitted to
Circulation). Further more, we have found a significant reduction in
the extracellular matrix and collagen expression after local administration
of 17B-E and stenting (in preparation).
A multicenter prospective randomized clinical trial will be performed at The Montreal Heart Institute. This study will involve 4-6 clinical centers across Canada chosen for the quality of previous work in interventional cardiology research. The homodynamic laboratory of The Montreal Heart Institute will coordinate the trial.
A 6-month angiographic evaluation will be performed and the analysis will be under the leadership of Dr. Jacques Lesperance who has lead the Quantitative Coronary Angiography (QCA) laboratory in many clinical trials.
Predetermined intracoronary Doppler and hematology sub-studies will be performed to assess the mechanisms of benefit for 17B-E delivery during PCI.
Based on the late loss observered in two recent trials we performed (\SISA and CART), we can assume that a trial of 300 pts should have a power of 80% to detect a clinically relevant reduction in late lumen loss of 30% with a 0.05. Further power calculations and a formal clinical protocol will be submitted to the Institutional Review Board.
The timeline for this study is 18 months for enrollment and angiographic follow-up to be complete. However, a 3-month initiation and close-out phases are expected in such a trial. We therefore expect to enroll our first patient in Q1 2002 and finish enrollment during Q4 2002. The angiographic follow-up should be completed by the end of Q2 2003. Final statistical analysis and clinical report should be available by the end of Q4 2003.
This study will give important information on the potential impact of local 17B-E after PCI and the role of this therapy to prevent restenosis. The importance of our strategy to promote a better vascular healing can be placed in perspective of the fact that brachytherapy may retard reendothelialization and impair vessel wall recovery leading to late thrombosis and a potential catch-up phenomena with loss of the initial gains at long term follow-up. It is our understanding from our results and the data available in the literature that local 17B-E offers a promising new approach to vessel passivation after PCI.
All the techniques to be used in this proposal have been published and/or are used by us and our close collaborators, we therefore do not foresee any difficulties to investigate our hypothesis and answer to our objectives. This proposal will bring new understandings in the role of estradiol and estrogen receptors in the vascular healing after stent implantation.
It is our intent to pursue in this field and propose to the patient
needing improved vascular healing an ESTRACURE solution including catheter
and drug coated stents delivery of 17B-Estradiol to improve clinical
outcome. The data obtained may lead to significant advances in therapeutic
strategies to improve patient care and reduce restenosis.

The campus conversation about the Sigma Chi email and the work being done in response to it continued at William & Mary on Saturday with a “teach-in” attended by more than 120 faculty, staff, administrators and students.
The event, spurred by a sexist email recently penned by a student and sent to a fraternity listserv, was organized by faculty members Leisa Meyer and Jennifer Putzi. It followed a Feb. 4 town hall meeting and the distribution of an open letter to the campus community written by Putzi, assistant professor of English and gender, sexuality and women’s studies.
“The point of the teach-in was to continue the conversation about and attention to the current campus climate, and the ways in which the violently misogynist Sigma Chi email was in many ways an exemplar of this climate – not ‘atypical’ of it,” said Meyer, associate professor of American studies, history, and gender, sexuality and women’s studies and chair of the Lyon Gardiner Tyler Department of History. “With that premise, how do we work to move (as President Reveley argued) from a moment where we say this kind of misogynist statement is ‘unacceptable’ to a moment and a climate within which that statement is unimaginable – i.e., it would simply never be written? The teach-in was a first step in that move to change the climate on campus and challenge the rape culture in which the email participated.”
Students, faculty, staff and administrators participated in the event, which began with a gathering in the Sadler Center’s Tidewater Rooms before breaking into concurrent sessions in locations across campus. Those break-out sessions were taught by faculty, administrators and students and included topics ranging from hate speech, the university’s sexual assault response protocol and the International Violence Against Women Act to anti-LGBTQ violence and bystander intervention. The event culminated with a session titled, “The campus activist’s toolkit,” led by Margie Cook, assistant director of the Center for Student Diversity.
President Taylor Reveley spoke at the beginning of the teach-in, noting four goals. First, everyone at William & Mary should be safe and feel that they are safe, he said. Additionally, they should be respected and feel that they are respected. Third, the campus climate should be such that the idea of ever sending an email like that would not even come up.
“We need to be in a situation here where nobody would even think about sending a message of the sort that was sent, just not even think about it,” Reveley said. “No matter what the motivation of the message or how small the group to which the message was sent -- just because of the nature of our community, wouldn’t even think about it.”
Finally, the president said, if someone is sexually assaulted, they should be able to feel free to seek redress and know where to go for help.
“I think at William & Mary … we already do put and have put a great deal of emphasis on the four areas I just mentioned, but it’s clear that we have work to do -- a lot of work to do -- and if there was anything useful about this message, it was a catalyst for getting on with recognizing we have more to do and taking actual, practical steps to that end,” he said.
The institution is responding by making clear what is already in place and by taking additional steps, Reveley said. However, two types of responses are required, he noted: an institutional response and one by peers.
“I think unless we are all in this together, we won’t make a whole lot of progress,” he said. “I do think we’re all in this together, and I do think in these areas William & Mary can really be a model for U.S. colleges and universities because we are a relatively small, very smart, very close-knit and mutually supportive community, so we have the potential to do it, but obviously, we have a lot of work to do.”
Vice President for Student Affairs Ginger Ambler outlined the work that she and her staff members have been doing and would continue to do, including crafting and enforcing policy and allocating resources to such efforts as the peer educator program.
They have also been meeting with students individually and supporting events like the town hall meeting in order to identify concerns and discern ways that they might address them.
Student Affairs staff members – including Health Promotion Specialist Eric Garrison and Senior Assistant Dean of Students Donna Haygood-Jackson – also work with students on a regular basis, educating them about the complicated issues surrounding sexual misconduct. Additionally, the staff members continuously strive to further their own education. For example, 11 Student Affairs staff members from W&M attended last week’s national summit on sexual misconduct on college campuses, held at the University of Virginia.
Ambler also noted that some of the work they do goes unseen. For instance, they recently worked with the university’s government relations office to help fight proposed legislation that would create a poor climate for sexual assault survivors to make reports.
Learning about the Sigma Chi email, Ambler said, was “heartbreaking” for her, knowing the deep pain it would cause to the community. She also thought about her professional staff who work tirelessly to educate around these issues. However, now they are “moving through the heartbreak to see that this is a really important moment for renewed and expanded commitment.”
“We all have a role to play,” she said. “The administration clearly has a role to play.”
The teach-in came a little more than a week after the initial town hall meeting was held, which was attended by more than 700 people. However, both events weren’t really about the email itself, “but what’s behind it,” said Provost Michael R. Halleran.
“I think that’s the challenge,” Halleran said. “If it were simply an individual, a single incident of this message, again it would be ugly … but it does reflect larger issues on campus and, of course, in our society.”
Halleran attended the teach-in to “listen and learn,” he said.
“And I hope all of us – no matter our position at the institution – will come away not just with a sense of being emboldened to take action but also a sense of what are the things that we can do,” he said.
As the teach-in came to a close, Meyer reminded participants that it was really “just the beginning.” Another teach-in is being planned for late March or early April, and a Blackboard site has been set up so that the discussions begun at the event can be continued.
Meyer said that she was delighted that so many members of the university’s upper administration attended the educational forum.
“Even more vital in my view was the attendance of a significant number of students including those who have been working on these issues for a very long time as well as the Inter-Fraternity Council president, Alex Greenspan, and a number of fraternity and sorority members many of whom also stayed for the entire event,” she said.
Meyer was also “deeply heartened” by the faculty turnout for the event, with professors from departments including physics, history, modern languages and literatures, English, math, biology, psychology, American studies, Africana studies, linguistics, and gender, sexuality and women’s studies all in attendance.“The bottom line is that this is a wonderful start to the work that must continue if we are going to be successful in changing the climate of our campus and turning the College into a space where everyone is and feels welcome and, most importantly, where everyone feels and is safe,” she said.

Indonesian Bumbu Dasar or Basic Spices Paste is one way to have a short-cut to your Indonesian cooking. The name of the bumbu dasar is depending its colour of paste; Merah (Red), Putih (White), and Kuning (Yellow). Some people will have additional bumbu dasar (Indonesian Basic Spices Paste)s such as Oranye (Orange) and Hitam (Black). I myself usually only make the first 3 ones; Merah, Putih and Kuning.
I enjoy cooking Indonesian foods from scratch. Using an instant seasoning is very practice but often the flavour isn’t what I expected and additive ingredients are added to preserve the seasoning and reduce the production cost.
You can prepare all the ingredients in one day and preserve them by using a canning process. To eliminate the risk of botulism, canning process is used to preserve Low-Acid Foods such as vegetables, meat and game, poultry, seafood, soups, stews, tomato-vegetable sauces and tomato-meat sauces. In Indonesia, people isn’t too familiar with this process but people who live in North America or Europe love to do this process to make their own jams or sauces.
If you boil the water and the glass jars/containers in a pot, the heat will only reach to 212°F (100°C) which is the temperature of boiling water. The only way for a home canner to achieve a 240°F (116°C) temperature is in a pressure canner. In this case, I’m using my instant pot to can my bumbu dasar.
Pouring the pastes into ice cubes trays then freeze them is another way to preserve the paste. Once they are frozen, take the cubes out, transfer them into ziploc plastic bags and keep them frozen.
All recipes of Indonesian basic spices paste has been provided on my old posts except the RED ONE which I’ll post within a couple day.

Poor global demand and Coronavirus lockdowns in China have caused a massive slump in Chinese foreign trade.
Exports, calculated in U.S. dollars, surprisingly fell by 8.7 per cent in November compared to the same month in 2021 which is the sharpest decline since the start of the pandemic.
It was the second consecutive monthly decline. Customs also reported in Beijing Wednesday that imports fell by as much as 10.6 per cent, much more than forecast.
However, foreign trade fell by 9.5 percent overall.
A major reason for the decline in exports is weak global demand due to high inflation and energy prices because of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine.
The disruption of supply chains in China was due to the restrictions previously put in place as a result of China’s strict zero-COVID policy also hampered production in the world’s second-largest economy.
“The stubborn adherence to the zero-COVID policy in China and a weakening of the global economy in recent months is now also showing through in Chinese foreign trade figures,’’ said Jens Hildebrandt, executive board member of the German Chamber of Commerce (AHK) in Beijing.
He said the November lockdowns had disrupted supply chains and affected people’s willingness to consume in China, causing the sharp drop in imports.

We need the CPUC to formalize a regulatory framework for microgrids and what could be a clean and reliable energy future.
By P.J. Quesada, Special to CalMatters
P.J. Quesada is vice president of operations of Ramar Foods, a third-generation, family owned and operated Filipino food company headquartered in Pittsburg, firstname.lastname@example.org.
When I was diagnosed with severe asthma at the age of 5, my mom asked the doctor what could be done. He basically said, “Move out of California to avoid pollution.”
For those who don’t know how hard it is to have asthma, take a breath. Then another. Now imagine you cannot take that breath because an invisible evil is squeezing your lungs. People like me never take any breath for granted.
Even though climate science and the dangers of global warming were well understood back when I was 5, here we are 30 years later not much further along.
As Californians look out their windows to brown, smoky skies, it is clear the state must do more and do it faster to transition us to cleaner energy sources.
We need the California Public Utilities Commission to formalize a regulatory framework that will guide the reimagining of what could be a clean, reliable and more equitable energy future for our state, especially local communities hit hardest by poor air quality and the health crisis. Specifically, this guidance would encourage the installation and use of clean energy servers, what are essentially “microgrids.”
By utilizing a clean energy server to power our operations, Ramar Foods’ “microgrid” has prevented nearly 1 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions since 2013. With recent upgrades, we’ll offset 330,000 pounds of CO2 annually, the equivalent of planting 2,475 trees each year. This is the clean energy that enables our 290 employees to make the products that help feed families and communities with confidence and a clear conscience that we are doing the right thing.
While we do our part to reduce emissions and reimagine energy power with other forward thinkers, we need the CPUC to formalize the regulations that should stop penalizing and start enabling more essential businesses like ours to do the same.
Indeed, we see the red-tape, unnecessary utility-imposed fees, and the exhausting review process plaguing the CPUC. We need an opportunity to improve resilience and the ability to generate our own electricity in a clean, sustainable way. By doing so, public safety power shut-offs and rolling blackouts could all be a thing of the past.
Then, recently “a green” light was given through an emergency declaration allowing diesel generators to be used – without limitations normally tied to air pollution – for back-up power to avoid blackouts.
Using diesel over clean options shows how far off course California is and how much good work there is yet to do.
Gov. Gavin Newsom has lamented his impatience for climate deniers as he briefed the state on one wildfire after another calling the state’s plight a “climate damn emergency.” The governor rightly said the state must “step up our game. As we lead the nation in low-carbon green growth, we’ll have to fast track our efforts.”
The legislation enabling businesses to invest in their own power generation passed and was signed into law in 2018. Let us not breathe our own exhaust, as the saying goes, and take massive steps backward in what is by far one of the most important directions we should go.
Every step taken this fall by the state regulator to formalize a rate structure and regulations will empower and encourage local communities and governments to cooperate on what a clean energy future really means, then make it happen.
I’m glad we didn’t heed my doctor’s suggestion to move, and I remain a proud Californian to this day. But we cannot wait any longer to put solutions in place that will lead to a clean-air future. I urge the CPUC to approve the necessary regulations without further delay so we can all breathe easier.

The Cornhusker State is one of the few places in the country that doesn't have a victim of the $65 billion Ponzi scheme.
That's according to Madoffmap.com - an Internet atlas of avarice that plotted the addresses of about 9,000 victims across the nation.
More than 40,000 people have visited the map since it launched last month, and Bishop said most of them are scandal addicts.
"I think the situation is much like a train wreck or a traffic accident," he said. "It's horrible that this happened, but people really want to know about the situation and understand what happened."
The map uses colored dots to denote the concentration of victims in a particular area - green for places with few dupes, red for those with many.
Bishop - who used court filings to compile his data - said it's easy to figure out what's behind some of the clusters. "There's a country club or one of these feeder guys who pushed a lot of their neighbors into the Madoff thing," he said.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Media and entertainment shares plunged Friday along with the broader markets, which were hammered by news that April unemployment was worse than expected.
Any signs that the economy is not recovering as fast as many had hoped bode ill for media stocks, most of which are driven by advertising dollars.

A report in the trade publication Satellite Business News said Friday that GM Hughes Electronics GMH, parent of DirecTV, had granted EchoStar an extension on the financing of EchoStar's $26 billion acquisition of Hughes.
Under the terms of the deal, EchoStar had a 180-day financing deadline, and Hughes agreed to extend that deadline by 60 days. "This kind of gives them an opportunity to finalize the [loan] documents, but there's no concern [from Hughes] about the financing," a Hughes spokesman said.
On the upside in the satellite group, Asia Satellite Telecommunications


Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday accused the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) of having “done nothing” to safeguard the interests of Tamil Nadu’s fishing community. His social media post also contained a link to a newspaper report that said prime minister Indira Gandhi took the DMK leadership into confidence on the Katchatheevu deal.
In his post on X, the PM described the Congress and DMK as “family units”, which “only care that their own sons and daughters rise”. “Their callousness on Katchatheevu has harmed the interests of our poor fishermen and fisherwomen in particular,” he said.
The PM’s attack on DMK came a day after he targeted the Congress for weakening the unity and integrity of the country by ceding the Katchatheevu island to Sri Lanka in 1974. The DMK and Congress are constituents of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc and allies in Tamil Nadu.
DMK President and Chief Minister M K Stalin questioned the BJP’s “sudden love” for fishermen ahead of elections. He questioned the PM over the Rs 37,000 crore flood relief package sought by the state.
Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said the PM should speak on “Chinese occupation” of Indian territory rather than about Katchatheevu which was ceded to Sri Lanka to maintain good relations and to save the lives of millions of Tamils. Chidambaram said India had ceded Katchatheevu after negotiations, and in return, 600,000 Tamils were allowed to come to India. “They have come here, their families are here, they have got full freedom, they are breathing free air. Their children and grandchildren are here. The issue was closed 50 years ago,” he said.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh pointed to a January 27, 2015 reply of the Ministry of External Affairs, which said that the agreement did not involve either acquiring or ceding of territory belonging to India since the area in question had never been demarcated. This was because “under the agreements, the Island of Katchatheevu lies on the Sri Lankan side of the India-Sri Lanka International Maritime Boundary Line…The easiest to hunt in a political expedition is a scapegoat. Who will it be?” Ramesh added.
Have to work it out with Lankan govt: Jaishankar
Addressing a press conference in the national capital, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday claimed that prime ministers Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi dubbed Katchatheevu as a “little island” and “little rock”, which the Congress government ceded to Sri Lanka in 1974. He said that the issue had not cropped up abruptly but was frequently raised in Parliament and was a matter of frequent correspondence between the Centre and the state government. He said DMK’s leader and then chief minister M Karunanidhi was kept fully informed about the 1974 agreement. In 20 years, 6,184 Indian fishermen have been detained by Sri Lanka and their 1,175 fishing vessels seized by the neighbouring country, Jaishankar said. “We have to find a solution. We have to sit down and work it out with the Sri Lankan government,” he said.
Jaishankar dismissed Congress leadership’s argument that a pact between the two countries in 1974 allowing the repatriation of 6,00,000 Tamils from Sri Lanka to India was made possible due to the island agreement. There is nothing in the agreement that offers any benefit other than what is already there, he said. On whether India will move to reclaim the island, Jaishankar said it was a sub-judice matter and nobody should speculate.
The controversy over Katchatheevu, a 285-acre uninhabited island in the Palk Bay, comes amid Tamil Nadu’s 39 Lok Sabha seats and the Union Territory of Puducherry going to polls in the first phase on April 19. The BJP, under the leadership of its state unit chief K Annamalai, is making a strong bid for an improved poll performance in the state, where it has had an insignificant electoral presence. The newspaper reports, links to which the PM posted on X, are based on Right to Information queries that Annamalai, a former Indian Police Service officer, submitted to the government.

I have been working for a couple months on a new website/app idea. I have finished the design process but now I need to create a user friendly demo to show to people to gather some data/feedback and eventually demo it to investors. I am looking for a good software to design the UI. I'd like to focus on how the buttons, links, labels, text-boxes work together, ignoring the content (it can remain static) Any suggestions? Thanks!
Take a look at Adobe XD. It is a drag-n-drop prototyping application for mobile apps and websites. It is intended for designers that have no programming experience, and it really is amazing how powerful it is for creating a professional prototype.
Adobe offers XD for free, so you can download it and do the tutorial. You'll see how easy it is to make something impressive in ten minutes.
I recently worked on a project where the designers used Invision. So I didn't create the designs, but I was able to comment on the designs and make change requests. The designers were not developers and only did interface design and mockups with invision.
So you could do a mockup without programming anything and present the basic app to investors.

Goal: to identify and understand how socio-economic and policy drivers impact on the development of ecological approaches to farming and assess the performance and sustainability of such approaches, taking into account different farming systems at farm, farm-group and territorial scales.
Short description: Ecological approaches to farming practices are gaining interest across Europe. As this interest grows there is a pressing need to assess the potential contributions these practices may make, the contexts in which they function and their attractiveness to farmers as potential adopters. In particular, ecological agriculture must be assessed against the aim of promoting the improved performance and sustainability of farms, rural environment, rural societies and economies, together. The overall goal of LIFT is to identify the potential benefits of the adoption of ecological farming in the European Union (EU) and to understand how socio-economic and policy factors impact the adoption, performance and sustainability of ecological farming at various scales, from the level of the single farm to that of a territory. To meet this goal, LIFT will assess the determinants of adoption of ecological approaches, and evaluate the performance and overall sustainability of these approaches in comparison to more conventional agriculture across a range of farm systems and geographic scales. LIFT will also develop new private arrangements and policy instruments that could improve the adoption and subsequent performance and sustainability of the rural nexus. For this, LIFT will suggest an innovative framework for multi-scale sustainability assessment aimed at identifying critical paths toward the adoption of ecological approaches to enhance public goods and ecosystem services delivery. This will be achieved through the integration of transdisciplinary scientific knowledge and stakeholder expertise to co-develop innovative decision-support tools. The project will inform and support EU priorities relating to agriculture and the environment in order to promote the performance and sustainability of the combined rural system. At least 30 case studies will be performed in order to reflect the enormous variety in the socio-economic and bio-physical conditions for agriculture across the EU.

Far-Right Troll Jacob Wohl Reportedly Targeted Mayor Pete With Fake Sex Assault Claim
Jacob Wohl tried to kneecap the 2020 hopeful Mayor Pete Buttigieg‘s campaign by planting a faux sex assault complaint, according to a new Daily Beast report.
And he was not alone.
Fellow slime artist Jack Burkman also joined him to try to push the fake story that Buttigieg tried to assault a young man.
The Daily Beast reported on the incident, which in one case involved an uncorroborated social media post which was retracted hours later.
The source also provided the outlet with a recording of the conversation to corroborate his story.
The Daily Beast reports:
A Republican source told The Daily Beast that lobbyist Jack Burkman and internet troll Jacob Wohl approached him last week to try to convince him to falsely accuse Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, of engaging him sexually while he was too drunk to consent.
The source who spoke to The Daily Beast said Burkman and Wohl made clear that their goal was to kneecap Buttigieg’s momentum in the 2020 presidential race. The man asked to remain anonymous out of a concern that the resulting publicity might imperil his employment, and because he said Wohl and Burkman have a reputation for vindictiveness.
Daily Beast had an expert analyze the tape provided by the source. Hafiz Malik, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, determined it is “highly likely” the voice is Wohl’s.
In a more egregious attempt, a Medium article popped up written by someone named Hunter Kelly that likewise tried to push the fake sex assault narrative.
The post so far has gotten 1.2k claps and read, in part: “I was sexually assaulted by Mayor Pete Buttigieg. I didn’t know who he was back in February, only that he told me he was an important politician. When I started seeing him on television three weeks ago as a Presidential candidate, I thought about coming forward.”
It is also a forgery that was tweeted out by Wohl’s dad, who has a picture standing with Trump on his profile page and has over 47,000 followers. (The tweet has since been taken down).
The real Hunter Kelly told the Daily Beast that it was definitely not him and he would not make a false allegation like that.
He also said he was asked to come to DC to discuss politics from a gay Republican standpoint.
“It’s important for everyone to know that I was not sexually assaulted and would never falsely accuse anyone,” he wrote.
He added: “To keep it brief for now, I was approached by a political figure to come to DC to discuss political situations from the standpoint of a gay Republican. When I arrived they discussed Peter Buttigieg and started talking about how they would be working a campaign against him.”
He also told the Daily Beast this: “I went to bed and woke up to a fake Twitter @RealHunterKelly and an article that I in no way endorsed or wrote. I have since left and am working on a formal statement to give to everyone including the Buttigieg family.”
For the record, Wohl and Burkham’s asshattery is nothing new.
The bunglers also tried to pin a case of sexual assault on Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
That attempt also failed.

To help you navigate Maryland’s deregulated — and frankly, confusing — energy supplier marketplace, we called on the experts to offer their practical tips to help you make energy deregulation work for your household. Grab your BGE bill, paper and pencil, and a calculator would’t hurt, too.
In November, we reported that Maryland’s energy deregulation experiment isn’t working for most households. Though third-party suppliers often advertise lower-than-BGE electricity-rates, the reality is that hundreds of thousands of households that switched suppliers between 2013 to 2016 paid nearly $200 million more than if they had stayed put with their utility’s offer.

Author and former comics writer Alan Moore will be talking to comedian Stewart Lee about his first ever short story collection, Illuminations, for a Guardian Live online event on Monday 3rd October 2022.
Described by fellow fantasy writer Neil Gaiman as “both mind-expanding and cosmic while utterly rooted in our urban reality,” Illuminations, to be published 11th October, is an epic tour-de-force that combines madness with urbane magic.
Through nine stories, Moore will take readers into the folds of his wondrous and strange universe, introducing us to a cast of memorable characters, from the four horsemen of the apocalypse and paranormal study groups, to people plagued with nostalgia.
The project was first announced in May 2021, Moore signing a six-figure deal with Bloomsbury for this “momentous” collection of short stories, and a “groundbreaking” five-volume fantasy series, titled Long London, which will launch in 2024.
Widely regarded as one of the best comic book writers in the English language, Moore’s works include The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, From Hell and V for Vendetta. He stopped writing comics in 2019.
Moore has published two novels, Voice of the Fire and Jerusalem. The forthcoming Long London is described as a fantasy quintet that will move from the “shell-shocked and unravelled” capital of 1949 to a version “just beyond our knowledge”.
Alan will be in conversation with stand-up comedian and writer Stewart Lee, and answering questions in this livestreamed event.
• Alan Moore in conversation with Stewart Lee Monday 3rd October 2022 8.00pm – 9.00pm BST | 9.00pm CEST | 12.00pm PDT | 3.00pm EDT | For more information and to book tickets, priced £7, visit The Guardian web site
If you live in the United Kingdom, you can pre-order a copy of Illuminations with your ticket at checkout for a special combined price of £23 (RRP £20). Books will be dispatched in the week following the event, on publication date, 11th October.
See this time zone converter to check your local live streaming time. If you are unable to join at the time of streaming, this event will be available to watch on demand in the days following. A link to the recording will be sent to all ticket holders.
In his first-ever short story collection, which spans forty years of work and features many never-before-published pieces, international bestselling author and legendary creator of From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and other modern classics, Alan Moore, presents nine stories full of wonder and strangeness, each taking us deeper into the fantastical underside of reality.
In A Hypothetical Lizard, two concubines in a brothel for fantastical specialists fall in love, with tragic ramifications. In Not Even Legend, a paranormal study group is infiltrated by one of the otherworldly beings they seek to investigate. In Illuminations, a nostalgic older man decides to visit a seaside resort from his youth and finds the past all too close at hand. And in the monumental novella What We Can Know About Thunderman, which charts the surreal and Kafkaesque history of the comics industry over the last seventy-five years through several sometimes-naive and sometimes-maniacal people rising and falling on its career ladders, Moore reveals the dark, beating heart of the superhero business.
From ghosts and otherworldly creatures to theoretical Boltzmann brains fashioning the universe at the big bang, Illuminations is exactly that – a series of bright, startling tales from a contemporary legend that reveal the full power of imagination and magic.

Lawmakers have chosen a one-time legislative staffer to be the Louisiana Legislature's top budget adviser.
John Carpenter was named Wednesday to be interim legislative fiscal officer by a joint House and Senate budget committee, while legislative leaders seek applications from contenders to fill the position permanently.
KEITHVILLE, La. — Officials at the national sanctuary for retired research chimpanzees say a 42-year-old female whose unexpected pregnancy was discovered in February has given birth to a healthy girl.
Ginger's pregnancy was discovered after another female in her group gave birth on Valentine's Day. Both were surprise pregnancies: every male must get a vasectomy before coming to Chimp Haven, where 125 chimps live in small groups.
Since then, every male has been given a newer, more complex vasectomy. And every female is on birth control.
The University of New Orleans is cutting $12 million from its budget through a combination of early retirements and the elimination of vacant positions to offset reductions by the state.
UNO said Tuesday that about 25 faculty members and 28 staff members will be offered "incentivized retirements," and the university will eliminate 30 vacant faculty positions, five terminal faculty contracts, 26 graduate assistants and 16 non-classified staff.
UNO President Peter Fos says the moves will save the university $3.3 million.
U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu is asking the Coast Guard to force BP PLC to clean up oil and equipment used in the response buried in the waters and mud along the coast.
In a letter, Landrieu asked the Coast Guard to figure out where oil remains along the coast — both in remote marshes and under the water along the coast — and to make sure large mats of buried oil from the 2010 BP spill are removed.
State officials say there are methods for removing the mats of oil but the Coast Guard has not said whether it will require BP to remove them.
It's decision-time for anyone still on the fence about jumping into a race for Louisiana's Nov. 6 election.
Candidates must file paperwork this week if they want to run for office. Qualifying starts Wednesday morning and runs through Friday at 5 p.m.
Top of the ballot around the state will be Louisiana's six U.S. House seats, including one race between two Republican incumbents — Charles Boustany and Jeff Landry — who were forced into the same district when the state lost a congressional seat because of population adjustments.
State agencies say they've asked the company owning a natural gas pipeline that was bent by an expanding sinkhole in Assumption Parish for an updated risk management plan on a nearby butane storage cavern.
Crosstex Energy LP of Dallas owns a storage cavern 1,600 feet from the site of a sinkhole near Bayou Corne. The cavern houses 940,000 barrels of butane.
A federal appeals court has rejected an effort by Louisiana utility regulators to make Entergy Corp. subsidiaries in Arkansas and Mississippi pay for ending an agreement with their Entergy counterparts in Louisiana and Texas.
The ruling Tuesday by an appeals court in Washington deals with an agreement requiring the separate Entergy utilities to offer roughly equal electricity rates. At times, this has resulted in Entergy Arkansas making payments to Entergy affiliates with higher production costs — causing Arkansas customers to pay more.
A report by Louisiana State University on the current status of the juvenile justice system has concluded multiple parishes have seen a decline in the number of youths detained over the past five years.
A study from the Institute for Public Health and Justice reported Tuesday some parishes have seen as much as a 45 percent decrease in the average daily detention populations since 2007.
There have also been decreases in youths on parole supervision and on local and state probation supervision.

Diabetic nephropathy is a common side effect of both type 1 and types 2 diabetes.
Diabetic nephropathy is a result of side effects of both type 1 and types 2 diabetes. It’s also known as diabetic renal disease. It affects the kidneys’ ability to carry out their regular role of removing waste and extra fluid from the body.
You can prevent or delay diabetic nephropathy by living a healthy lifestyle, and keeping your diabetes and blood pressure under control. Over many years, diabetic nephropathy gradually affects your kidneys’ filtering function. But the disease’s progression can be stopped or slowed down, with early identification and treatment.
Low blood pressure.

Most assumed that Yo Gotti would stick to the independent route during his career, but here we are awaiting the release of his major label debut I Am. To build momentum, Gotti delivered a visual for his T.I.-assisted heater, “King Sh*t.”
Who thought they’d ever see the day Yo Gotti would sign a deal with a major label. Such is the case, as the street savvy rapper is currently prepping his I Am album, due to release November 19 via Epic Records.
Yo Gotti drops a single with that bounce called “King Sh*t,” featuring T.I. Like previous releases “F**k You”and “Act Right,” the Cocaine Music Group CEO seems to be aiming at the clubs with this one.


text: The Bissell's have been making maple syrup in Northeast Ohio since the late 1800's. The early pictures and postcards refer to the sugarhouse in Austinburg, OH. The original Bissell farm was well-known for its apple orchard on Route 45 in Austinburg and later on Route 84 in Saybrook. From 1978 to 1998, David Bissell continued the Bissell tradition at his Route 46 farm in Jefferson, OH until moving the family to the current farm. Today, the sugarhouse is located west of Rock Creek, OH at the family's farm on Higley Road. Over the last 10 years they have expanded their capability and capacity to meet the demand of their customers. They now have a modern sugarhouse and utilize the latest technology and conveniences for efficient syrup making.


Rumors have been circulating for some time that Apple is working on a tablet with a larger screen, and now, a new report offers up some details about what we can expect from the so-called iPad Pro.
Citing an unnamed "person familiar with Apple's future product plans," AppleInsider on Sunday reported that Cupertino is "in fact" working on an iPad with a 12.9-inch display. The site's source didn't have any idea when Apple is planning to release the fabled device, but said Cupertino is planning to include number of other new features besides the larger screen, such as a stylus, near field communication (NFC) technology, a USB-C connector, and more.
"While tap-to-pay functionality in an iPad is unlikely, the inclusion of NFC could allow for an 'iPad Pro' to serve as a payment receiving terminal for Apple Pay," the report notes.
The NFC support could also "allow for simplified pairing with accessories, such as the new stylus said to be in the works," AppleInsider reported. The built-in stylus will reportedly connect via Bluetooth and feature a "pressure-sensitive input."
The big-screen iPad is also expected to feature USB-C input. That wouldn't be too shocking, given that Apple has already started moving towards USB-C by using the small, reversible connector on its new MacBook . The source also said that the iPad would get a processor bump, also not hugely surprising.
Rumors about the 12.9-inch iPad date back to at least 2013 when The Korea Times reported that Cupertino was planning to introduce the massive tablet in early 2014. That obviously didn't happen, and as PCMag's Sascha Segan has pointed out in the past, Apple undoubtedly tests a number of emerging technologies — including huge screens — but only a fraction of these prototypes actually turn into real products.
As for whether the 12.9-inch iPad will ever make it to store shelves, we'll just have to wait and see. Now might be a better time than ever, given that Apple has suffered five consecutive quarters of negative annual shipment growth, according to recent IDC figures. The research firm expects Apple to keep posting negative growth until it gives the iPad lineup a serious refresh, like a larger-screen version.
A larger iPad could also help Apple appeal to more business users, particularly given the company's deal with IBM.

Filed under: Culture Jamming and Reality Hacking, Pranksters
Submitted by John Lundberg from circlemakers.org (England’s crop circle makers):
French prankster Remi Gaillard strikes again, this time bringing the dot-chomping, ghost-fleeing action of arcade classic Pac-Man to the real world, much to the confusion and shock of bystanders.
You may recall Gaillard from his previous effort to bring Mario Kart to the streets of France. Like that prank, his newest is a deceptively high-concept gag that elegantly portrays the utterly ridiculous plots and settings of the gaming industry’s most beloved titles.
While the concept is nothing new — how many of you didn’t re-enact Super Mario Bros. as children? — the effort Gaillard puts into his pitch perfect costumes and surprisingly adept recreations of Pac-Man staples is very impressive. He certainly puts Hollywood’s myriad efforts to recreate gaming classics to shame.
