Our Small Hero
Founded in August 2013, Small Heroes, Mighty Cause raises money to support children with genetic disorders and inspire them to live mighty lives.
Organized by the friends and family of Colin Schlemme, the first events raised funds for the Cure SMA foundation. At 15 months old, Colin was diagnosed with SMA Type 2, leaving him with low muscle tone that prevented him from reaching childhood milestones such as sitting up, crawling, and walking. After receiving care packages and information from the CureSMA organization in the early years of Colin’s diagnosis, Colin’s parents Travis and Amanda Schlemme, knew they wanted to give back and help other families in similar situations. In the three 5K’s they hosted in Cascade, Iowa, between 2013-2016, over $100,000 was raised to help continue research projects for a treatment for SMA and to support other children and families with genetic disorders.
In 2017, after countless volunteer hours and millions of dollars raised by the SMA community, the first treatment for SMA, Spinraza, was approved by the FDA. Since starting the Spinraza treatment, Colin has has made several small, but mighty gains in his strength including opening a juice box by himself and making sounds when he claps his hands. The future is bright for SMA treatment, and we have all our generous participants and donors to thank.
Facts about SMA (Courtesy of the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation):
SMA kills more children than any other genetic disease.
SMA is estimated to occur in 1 out of every 6,000 births.
1 in every 35 people, or nearly 10 million Americans, UNKNOWINGLY carries the gene responsible for SMA. Few have any known family history.
SMA is a pan-ethnic disease and does not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, or gender.

Would you kill to get this view of the harbour?
IT IS undoubtedly the case that some of the rich Sydney suburbs that overlook the blue waters of the city’s famous harbour have views to die for.
The problem is that the city’s grand old trees are dying as wealthy Sydneysiders poison them, hack them down or dismember their boughs in the hope of better harbour views.
Sydney’s problem with tree vandalism has become so bad that it is now an epidemic, according to Bob Debus, the Environment Minister of New South Wales.
“In some of the worst cases entire groves of mature trees have been poisoned to give uninterrupted views to nearby waterways,” Mr Debus wrote in a letter to the head of a local government association.

Midfielder praises Leeds support.
Pablo Hernandez has been in fine form for Leeds United, netting five goals in his 10 appearances so far this season.
Speaking exclusively to the official matchday programme for Saturday’s fixture with Bristol City, Hernandez spoke about Saturday’s game and the support of the fans...
How determined are you all to bounce back from the West Brom defeat on Saturday?
“We’re coming up against a good team in Bristol City, we’ve talked a lot this week and worked a lot on the training pitch. We need to keep calm and not change too much. We know what we have to do on the pitch, we know our style and spirit and we’ve shown on the pitch in most of the games that we can beat every opponent. This is the way, this is our mentality and we are at home in front of our fans which is the motivation for us.”
General admission tickets for Saturday’s game sold out over a week in advance. Despite the result last time out, what does it mean having that backing with everyone is still behind you?
“It is unbelievable, the Leeds fans are really unbelievable. If the fans believe in this team and that we can come back with a win on Saturday after the defeat, then the players have to believe too. The fans will be with us, they want to support us in every game and we need to respond on the pitch by giving 100 per cent for ourselves and for them.”
Finally, you’ve spoken about your form, what is it like, particularly away from home, seeing their reaction when you’ve put the ball in the back of the net?
“Again, it is just unbelievable. It is not just at home, but as you say, in all the different cities and stadiums. When I’m warming up and you see the away stand full of Leeds fans it is a special feeling. I watch a lot of games in this league and we can say we have the best fans in the league.”

Morrison, 26, featured in pre-season and Tuesday’s behind-closed-doors game with his former club Manchester United.
“He played 90 minutes, he’s been involved in both squads now, so he’s ready,” said Wilder.
Wilder feels he has strong competition even for a place on the substitutes’ bench but said he will utilise all his squad for Tuesday’s EFL Cup tie against Blackburn.
The Blades’ boss also said there was a doubt over midfielder John Fleck, who was replaced by Luke Freeman in the first half of the win over Palace last Sunday.
But there was better news about striker Callum Robinson before Saturday’s Premier League game with Leicester; the striker was also taken off injured against Palace,
“We’ve a doubt about John Fleck but Callum has trained all week,” Wilder said. “We’ll give John that time to recover.”

words fail me
... really, what can I say? The colours are tremendous. Words completely fail me. And that turquoise! That's what made me buy this yarn in the first place. The turquoise and the indigo peeking out in the skeins.
I've knitted the first skein, and plan to knit two more. Based on what I've got now - 84 sts with bulky yarn on 6mm needles - I expect the blanket will finish at about 28 x 36". The pattern calls for an intricate knitted border to be added to the main blanket panel, but I might just leave it as is. Simple, unfussy and incredible.

Do you have articular cartilage damage from an accident, sports injury or from overuse? Arthroscopic microfracture is a procedure performed on patients who have articular cartilage injuries without exposed bony surfaces. Microfracture surgeon, Dr. James Mazzara performs this specialized surgery on patients in Manchester, South Windsor, Enfield, Glastonbury and surrounding Hartford communities arthroscopically, offering less soft tissue damage and quicker healing times. Contact Dr. Mazzara’s team today!
Why Do Patients Get Osteoarthritis?
Articular cartilage damage to the knee can be the result of an injury or from wear and tear as the result of an active lifestyle. The damage to the cartilage can cause pain, swelling and decreased range of motion. When the once-thick protective layer of tissue between the bones wears away or is damaged, osteoarthritis can occur. For patients in the Manchester, South Windsor, Enfield, Glastonbury and surrounding Hartford communities, Dr. James Mazzara, orthopedic knee surgeon can offer a joint preservation treatment for patients suffering from osteoarthritis and other types of cartilage damage.
What is Microfracture?
Certain types of cartilage damage may begin as a small defect in the otherwise normal cartilage covering in the knee. Osteoarthritis or traumatic injuries to the knee may result in local cartilage injuries like a pot hole or a divot. The microfracture procedure stimulates the body’s own healing responses to heal that injury so it fills in with repair cartilage called fibrocartilage with microfracture, Dr. Mazzara makes small holes in the defective area’s bony surface to cause the surface to “bleed.” The bone sends out marrow and stem cells to form a clot over the defective area in attempt to heal the small holes. This results in a covering of fibrocartilage which fills in the cartilage “pot holes.”
Microfracture surgery is relatively quick, taking just 15-30 minutes. Dr. Mazzara does the procedure with arthroscopic surgery, which is a minimally invasive technique that allows quicker recovery time.
Who Should Have Microfracture?
Microfracture is not for every patient with a cartilage defect. Patients who have more success with microfracture for osteoarthritis and other defects are:
- Patients with a limited area of damaged cartilage.
- Active patients who are no longer able to participate in their sporting activities due to pain.
- Patients with swelling or pain caused by the damaged cartilage.
- Patients who do not have other knee injuries or soft tissue damage.
Who Should Not Have Microfracture?
- Inactive patients
- Patients with wide-spread arthritis in the knee or rheumatoid arthritis
- Patients with knee instability or with joint malalignment
- Patient’s unwilling to follow rehabilitation guidelines
What is Recovery Like After Microfracture?
It is important to follow Dr. Mazzara’s instructions for rest and non weight-bearing activities for the first 6 weeks. During that initial time, the newly formed clot is at risk of being dislodged in the patients performs too many activities or puts too much weight on the knee joint. Dr. Mazzara will require constant passive motion for the first several weeks with a special machine that bends and flexes the knee without help from the patient.
Patients should expect healing from microfracture to take anywhere from 4 to 7 months. Physical therapy can then be initiated to build strength in the joint with occasional impact activities.
For more information about microfracture for the treatment of osteoarthritis or articular cartilage defects, please contact the orthopedic offices of Dr. James Mazzara, knee surgeon in Manchester, South Windsor, Enfield, Glastonbury and surrounding Hartford communities.

No summer is complete without a wistful, yearning, dub-tinged pop crush designed to accompany the sun as it sets and, if you're lucky, rises again next morning. We haven't found one yet this year, but remain open to offers. In the meantime, Undressed In Dresden by The Hundred In The Hands from 2009, which introduces 1980s synth sounds to red-eyed dreampop in a smoothie bar by the coast and lets the pair of them just hang out and, y'know, see what happens next...
With the summer solstice revving up above us this evening, full instructions for a ritual purging below.
Next, a grisly little tale from forgotten psych-folk terranauts Comus, released in 1971. In Greek mythology, Comus was the god of nocturnal revelry, mockery, heavy drinking and all round rock 'n' roll excess. Diana, the subject of this story, was the Roman goddess of chastity. When they met, as Hart To Hart had it, it was murder. By a strange coincidence, a quote from John Milton's interpretation of the Comus myth opens one of our favourite novels, Joseph Conrad's 'Victory' from 1915, which describes the general impossibility of not getting involved in things you'd hoped to avoid: "Of calling shapes, and beckoning shadows dire, and airy tongues that syllable men's names on sands and shores and desert wildernesses."
Bright blessings, and so forth...
After a hard day spent picking things up, moving them around, putting them down, then picking them back up again and carefully returning them to their original location, we like nothing more than to crack open a tin of own-brand beans and enjoy the space-free space rock of 65daysofstatic. Helpfully, they are giving away a sort of sampler EP, including their collaboration with Robert Smith, over on their Soundcloud page, right here.
Occasionally, the god of charity shops still smiles on curious consumers. I made a mental note about a year ago to check out Peaking Lights, who do this woozy, dub-soaked, lo-fi, dreampop thing, distantly reminiscent of a band called Laika, but mostly like waking up in a hot tent by the sea and discovering that your first thought is of a nursery rhyme you haven't heard for 30 years. This weekend Marie Curie obliges us with their excellent album 936, as well as a potent compilation of muscular cosmic disco called, well, Kosmiche Disco.
While we're on this sort of trip, here come Forest Swords. These guys were new to me pre-ATP, where I didn't actually see them anyway. The slow, dub-begotten grind with those endlessly repetitive, broken guitar lines twanging off into infinity suggests Adrian Sherwood remixing a melted version of the Get Carter theme on a fire-damaged record player that can't quite make it up to 33. Scorn might be involved.I like to imagine that this was made by red-eyed men in chemical suits in a bunker beneath the Nevada desert. In fact I think they come from the Wirral. Whatever. Eerie broadcasts transmitted through contaminated aether.
Lastly, Lucifer lands on Lancashire and takes the shape of Demdike Stare: suffocating drones, failed experiments with circuit boards, melody-free abstractions which may or not be recordings of foghorns and trancey eastern chants. Occult in the literal sense - concealed or obscured from view - and probably several others besides.
Some important information reaches us from 1972.
Addendum: this was posted before Jon Lord was recalled for duty elsewhere. Weirdly, on the day of his death but unaware of the fact, we picked up Deepest Purple for a quid and a third in Sainsburys. It still rocks like like a mofo, if anyone asks.


Farrell Seeks to Torpedo Tenderloin Affordable Housing
San Francisco Supervisor Mark Farrell is attacking an affordable housing deal in the Tenderloin as part of a cynical strategy to undermine the affordable housing credentials of Supervisor Jane Kim. Farrell seeks to void an historic jobs, housing victory negotiated by Tenderloin residents, falsely accusing Kim of negotiating a “multi-million dollar development benefit” for the 950-974 Market project sponsor, Group I.
Farrell does not know what he is talking about. And his arguments against building step up housing for the very poor on a Tenderloin parking lot have troubling implications for nonprofit housing throughout San Francisco.
The Truth About 180 Jones
Like other public officials who speak before ascertaining the facts—Farrell’s office never told Group I it has any problems with the project prior to the hearing—his attacks were misplaced.
First, Jane Kim had nothing to do with negotiating the deal whereby the developer (Joy Ou of Group I) shifted her on-site inclusionary requirement to an off-site development at 180 Jones. This came from Tenderloin tenants who argued that few if any in the surrounding neighborhood earned the 90% of area media required to buy a below-market condo in the market-rate project. The tenants felt that housing affordable to Tenderloin residents off-site was far preferable, and asked Ou to consider it.
I had heard that 180 Jones, a long entitled 37-unit project that has passed through multiple owners without any construction, was available for purchase. I asked Ou to try to buy it for affordable rental housing and she moved quickly to do so.
After she got in contract for the site, Joy and I met with Mayor’s Office of Housing Director Olsen Lee. He quickly rejected 180 Jones as an option. Lee felt that 37 units were not financially viable on the site.
That could have been the end of it. If it had been, Joy Ou would not be facing these problems and Tenderloin residents would get no affordable housing from 950-974 Market.
But Joy is committed to the Tenderloin. Instead of giving up she figured out a way to build 68 units within the same building envelope. Tenants then asked Supervisor Kim to ensure that half of these units were for “step up” housing for SRO tenants living in supportive housing, and the D6 Supervisor immediately agreed.
This is the housing deal that Farrell now seeks to sabotage. He wants to penalize Joy Ou for working collaboratively with tenants on an affordable housing strategy that is better for them and for the Tenderloin.
Farrell doesn’t push for affordable housing in his own district. He even has a problem with market-rate housing.
In 2014, he got the city to pay $9.9 million to prevent housing from being built on the long-closed Francisco Reservoir on Russian Hill. It seems Farrell’s wealthy constituents feared that housing on the site would block their views and increase traffic, so he jumped to their aid.
An editorial by prominent San Francisco developer John Stewart urged the land be used to build 60 units of moderate-income housing, which is desperately needed in Farrell’s district. Stewart’s vision for the site was backed by the San Francisco Housing Action Coalition (SFHAC), which wrote a letter to the mayor noting that “Given our current housing affordability crisis, it makes far more sense to use this vacant public land in a way that contributes to both improving housing affordability and extracting the land’s significant intrinsic value for public benefits that also include open space.”
But Farrell ignored these calls for housing. Instead, he pursued public funds to stop housing in his district with the same fervor he is now trying to stop affordable housing in the Tenderloin. And I bet you can guess which Supervisor most strongly questioned this outrageous spending of public dollars to stop critically needed housing? That’s right—Jane Kim.
Now Farrell sees 180 Jones as payback time. His idea of payback is killing step-up housing for SRO tenants and forcing Ou to provide below market condos on site.
Nobody who cares about reducing housing inequality in San Francisco can sit by and allow this to happen.
The Greywater Issue
Farrell has two issues. First, he questions why the project got an exemption from a grey water requirement enacted well after 950-974 Market was in the pipeline. That would have been a valid question prior to the Planning Commission voting 6-1 to approve the project with the exemption.
The grey water train has long left the station.
A supervisor who prides himself on bringing a “business perspective” to the Board should understand the unfairness of requiring a developer to relitigate an issue already resolved by the Planning Commission. The Commission realized that applying the grey water exemption would be unfair because delays to the project that brought Ou under the law were caused by the Planning Department. Just consider this fact: Planning Director John Rahaim pulled the project from the July 23, 2016 calendar because he said the design was unacceptable; yet when that design was put before the Commission at the rescheduled November hearing, the Commission backed Ou’s original plan over Rahaim’s by a 6-1 vote.
So Ou’s project was delayed four months for nothing.
When higher inclusionary requirements were passed, the Board grandfathered in projects in the pipeline. Ou’s water issue is no different.
The Funding “Gap”
Farrell’s second argument is that there is a “funding gap” for the offsite affordable project that requires Ou to contribute additional funds.
This argument should alarm all backers of nonprofit housing. Why? Because every nonprofit project has a funding gap the minute after it gets approved by the Planning Commission. Soaring construction costs and delays in getting full financing ensure this.
Consider TNDC’s long awaited project at Eddy and Taylor. Purchased in 2008, construction has still not commenced due to a funding gap. Had Jane Kim not gotten $18 million from the 5M developers to go toward Eddy and Taylor, the Tenderloin’s most important nonprofit project would remain a parking lot for many more years instead of starting construction later in 2017.
Under Farrell’s logic, TNDC should not have been allowed to buy the site because of the “funding gap.” He would have left the critical Eddy/Taylor site to private developers for market rate condos instead of it becoming the nonprofit family housing the community prefers.
Every nonprofit housing project, like every market rate project, faces skyrocketing construction costs in the current environment. If we are going to require nonprofits to have full funding at time of site acquisition, the days of nonprofit housing in San Francisco will soon end.
Here’s the bottom line. The on-site inclusionary condos slated for 950-974 Market had no value to Tenderloin residents. Providing these below market rate for-sale units would cost the developer millions of dollars but produce no community benefit.
So to her enormous credit, Joy Ou chose to allocate her affordable housing dollars to actually help the people of the Tenderloin. We will have at least 68 units on a site where we have long had zero. Half will be deeply affordable.
Longtime Tenderloin tenant activist David Elliott Lewis testified at this week’s hearing that he has never previously spoken in favor of a market rate housing project. That’s what 180 Jones means to Tenderloin residents and why this deal must go forward.
It doesn’t matter if full funding for the 180 Jones housing now exists anymore that it mattered that TNDC had insufficient funds to build Eddy/Taylor when it acquired the land. Joy’s contribution ensures that the additional money will come.
I’ve been critical of Jane Kim’s approach to 950-974 Market not because, as Farrell argues, she has been too lenient with the developer but because I feel she demanded too much. To borrow a line used by Aaron Peskin this week, the notion that Jane Kim has granted Joy Ou special “multimillion dollar benefits” at 950-974 Market is “unfair, unjust and untrue.”
Supes Support This Project
Mark Farrell may not care about building new affordable housing in the Tenderloin, but I know our new supervisors Sandy Fewer, Jeff Sheehy, Hillary Ronen and Ahsha Safai all do. All of these supervisors would take the same action Jane Kim did in backing a community negotiated affordable housing deal.
Malia Cohen and London Breed have played critical roles in preserving public housing; these supervisors know well how hard it is to get new housing built for the very poor.
Aaron Peskin was taken by surprise by Farrell’s concerns at the hearing but he’s got a long history of supporting deeply affordable housing and will back this project. Katy Tang also understands the economics of this deal serves the Tenderloin best.
Norman Yee and Farrell are the two supervisors most resistant to low-income housing and services in their district. Their votes aren’t needed to make this project happen.
Everyone who cares about the future of Mid-Market, the Tenderloin and affordable housing citywide should come down to the Land Use hearing on Monday to show support for 950-974 Market.

Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing at Consumer Reports, who was interviewed and the New York International Auto Show, said that new crash mitigation technology will warn you if you are about to have an accident and will actually hit the brakes for you if there is something impending, CBS News reported.
It really makes a big difference and is going to save lives.
Then there are more passive technologies-like alerts and cameras. You can see what's behind you, to the side of you and all around the car. They will let you know if there's someone in your blind spot.
Driverless cars, like the ones Nissan and Google have been working on, won't be commercially available for some time, Fischer said. But these technologies are the building blocks.

In his on-going tribal appointments, president Michael Sata has side-lined substantive Deputy-chief Justice Irene Mambilima to appoint his relatives Lombe Chibesakunda and Florence Mumba.
Following the death of deputy chief justice David Lewanika, on Wednesday March 19, 2008 parliament ratified the appointment of Justice Irene Mambilima as deputy Chief Justice.
She was ratified the same day Albert Wood was ratified as High Court Judge.
Nothing has changed since then and even the judiciary website still puts Mambilima as Deputy Chief Justice.
When Florence Mumba was forced out as Chairperson of the Electoral Commision of Zambia in 2011 due to allegations of corruption by ECZ workers, Mambilima was taken back to ECZ as chairperson to specifically preside over the 2011 elections.
As chairperson of the ECZ board, she was working part-time but during the election period, she went on short leave from the judiciary prompting Dennis Chirwa to act in her stead. Chirwa was never ratified by parliament.
Justice Mambilima is back as Supreme court Judge and Deputy Chief Justice.
But on Thursday this week, Sata again appointed only his relatives to act as Chief Justice and Deputy Chief Justice.
Irene Mambilima comes from Eastern province.
Sata had a wide option to select from Supreme Court Judges but its looks like he only the only two Bemba Supreme Court judges.
Without Ernest Sakala and Dennis Chirwa, the other judges on the Supreme Court bench currently are Justice Irene C. Mambilima (Tumbuka), Justice Lombe Chibesakunda(Bemba), Justice Florence Mumba (Bemba by affinity);
Justice Marvin S. Mwanamwambwa (Lozi), Justice Hildah Chibomba(Tonga) , Justice Gregory S. Phiri (Chewa/Ngoni) Justice Muyinda Wanki (Lozi) Justice Elizabeth C. Muyovwe (Tonga).

David Jason wants to go to Hollywood to make an action movie.
The 75-year-old star - who played loveable wheeler dealer Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter in BBC sitcom 'Only Fools and Horses' for 22 years - is keen to head Stateside to appear on the big screen with plenty of attractive females.
He told The Sun newspaper: "There are things I'd still like to achieve. I'd like to go to Hollywood and make a bit of a movie.
"One with a lot of action in it. And yes, sexy ladies!"
While the legendary actor is known for his TV work in popular British sitcoms such as 'Only Fools...', 'Open All Hours' and 'The Darling Buds of May', he is no stranger to appearing in films.
David appeared as Nogood Boyo alongside Richard Burton and Dame Elizabeth Taylor in 1972 movie 'Under Milk Wood' and with Britt Ekland, Bob Hoskins and Malcolm McDowell in 1975 motion picture 'Royal Flash'.
He also starred alongside Dame Maggie Smith in 1999 World War I film 'All the King's Men'.
In his role as Del Boy, David starred in 'Only Fools and Horses' film 'Miami Twice: The Movie' - which was originally broadcast as a two-part TV special - in which he appeared as his two characters, his market trader aleter-ego and Mafia boss parody Don Vincenzo 'Vinny the Chain' Ochetti.

By Chuck Graham, TucsonStage.com
Projecting two weekends of sold-out performances for Paul Rudnick’s contemporary comedy “Regrets Only,” it sounds like Live Theatre Workshop has another hit on its hands.
The eastside company’s previous show “The Chosen” also did brisk box office business.
“Regrets Only” is set in way upscale Manhattan during the last Bush administration (apparently, though George Bush is never named). Rudnick has created an interesting mash-up of satirizing materialistic manners among the wealthy and opening closed minds on the subject of marriage in the gay community.
There are lots of inside jokes about fashion designers and the socialites who love them – or at least love their designs.
Keith Wick does most of the heavy lifting onstage playing celebrity designer Hank Hadley. He finds the right note of innuendo in every seemingly innocent comment.
At the performance I attended, many of these jokes were tossed off as throwaway lines that didn’t get all the laughs they deserved.
Audience members who listen carefully will be amply rewarded.
The set-up begins with heaps of witty banter between Hank and Lesley Abrams as overly enthusiastic Tibby McCullough, Hank’s eager friend and most devoted customer.
We can slowly gather that Hank is upset his longtime partner in life has died before the government could pass any legislation recognizing same-sex marriage.
The implied heartbreak is rushed over as an equally robust Michael Woodson as Tibby’s husband Jack thrusts himself into the conversation, proudly announcing the President of the United States (who is also Jack’s buddy) wants Jack to prepare a definition of marriage so bulletproof there is no risk any gay couples will ever get married in America.
Hank is aghast that Jack would even consider such an assignment. So is Tibby. But Jack is equally taken aback that his wife and her friend Hank can’t imagine how much this presidential assignment means to Jack and his own career.
But not to worry, audience members. “Regrets Only” is an entertaining comedy that director Sabian Trout keeps zipping across the well-furnished LTW stage.
Adding comic complications are Amanda Gremel as the McCullough’s daughter who insists on having her own ultra-conservative wedding ceremony, and Rhonda Hallquist giving another hilarious turn is Myra the family maid who can never resist making fun of her employers.
Myra gives her scenes tremendous momentum, which is matched in the second act by Pat Tim as acerbic Marietta Claypoole, the hard-as-nails mother of Tibby.
Madcap Manhattan merriment with an edge is what we get. It’s always fun to watch stuffed shirts be made to look foolish, especially when they get hung out to dry on the horns of a rather ingenious dilemma.
Reservations are being absolutely recommended for the remaining performances of “Regrets Only” at Live Theatre Workshop, 5317 E. Speedway Blvd., running through March 24.
Curtain on Fridays and Saturdays is 7:30 p.m., Sunday matinees at 3 p.m. All tickets are $18, with discounts available. For details and reservations, (520) 327-4242 or visit www.livetheatreworkshop.org

(ReliableNews.org) – President Joe Biden hasn’t even been in office for a month and he has already killed jobs with his poor energy policy. As if that weren’t bad enough, there is now speculation that he might propose a tax that could kill an entire industry.
In January, during his confirmation hearing, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told the Senate that there is a possibility the administration could increase the gas tax. Doing so would lead to an increase in prices and a loss of jobs. An owner of a trucking company, Mike Kucharski, told OAN News that if the Biden administration moves forward with the plan, it could destroy his industry. He said it’s not the answer and will only “further burden” employers.
Gas prices are already skyrocketing and the Democrats have the audacity to talk about raising the gas tax.
Joe Biden’s bad energy policies are hurting hardworking American families.
Republicans need to stand up.
— Representative Mike Loychik (@MikeLoychik) February 11, 2021
Raising taxes during an economic downturn is never a good idea. Many industries are still struggling to stay afloat and it seems some in the Biden administration only want to make things worse.

Massachusetts has a number of creepy locations but one stands out among the rest.
Thrillist named the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast in Fall River the creepiest place to visit in Massachusetts.
“After a stay there, I can attest: This home painstakingly furnished to look exactly as it did on the morning of the murders will creep you right out,” Camille Dodero wrote. “I did not sleep a wink.”
The house is known for the double-murder scene, where Abby and Andrew Borden were hacked to death in 1892. Lizzie was the number one suspect in her father and stepmother’s deaths but was acquitted by a jury.
The case remains unsolved.
Now a bed and breakfast, people come from all over the world to have their own supernatural experiences. People have reported feeling cold spots or hearing footsteps and voices and seeing full bodied apparitions of the Borden family.
If just visiting isn’t enough, the nearby historic “Maplecroft” mansion, where Lizzie Borden lived after she was acquitted of killing her father and stepmother, is on the market.
The home includes 6 fireplaces, 7 bedrooms, stained glass — and possibly a few paranormal activities.
“Honestly, that house has a lot of paranormal activity in it,” Jerry Pacheco, operations manager for the Borden B&B and museum told Boston Magazine. “Even more than here, I would say.”
Other scary sites around New England on Thrillist’s list include, Lake Bomoseen State Park in Vermont, Mount Washington Hotel in New Hampshire, Mount Hope Cemetery in Maine and Curtis House Inn in Connecticut.

BRUSSELS, Belgium—More than 400 participants gathered in Presqu’île de Giens, France, for the European Council for an Energy Efficient Economy’s (eceee) summer study, Europe’s premier gathering of the energy efficiency community. Driven by the sobering findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 2018 report, the experts explored solutions for tackling rising energy consumption and waning energy efficiency ambition in Europe. Eceee tapped the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) to lead seven sessions over the five‑day event.
Covering a wide array of topics, RAP specialists fueled discussions on Efficiency First, the key role of consumers, demand response and energy efficiency policies in markets, carbon revenue recycling, best practices for implementing energy efficiency policies and more.
“I look forward to the eceee summer study every time, because it’s far and away the best opportunity for insightful discussions with my peers,” said Europe programme director and eceee board member Jan Rosenow. “It’s a leading venue for sharing lessons on the key role of energy efficiency in buildings, the juxtaposition of efficiency and electrification, and other key topics.”
Louise Sunderland, one of RAP’s energy efficiency experts, agrees. “The challenges of meeting the Paris agreement goals are enormous. We need to work together to ensure that our solutions also protect vulnerable consumers. The summer study is always inspiring, thought-provoking and energising.”

Ansley Ulmer ’18 is going to Hawaii the week before graduation.
But she’s not getting an early start on celebrating. Ulmer is traveling to present at the annual meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology.
She’ll be sharing her research on a treatment for uveal melanoma – or cancer formed in the middle layer of the eye – which she completed in summer 2017 during an internship in Memphis. Ulmer shadowed Dr. Matt Wilson ’86, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Tennessee and the St. Jude Chair in Pediatric Ophthalmology, and worked in the lab with which he’s connected.
Next fall, she’ll be in Charleston, her hometown, to begin her studies at the Medical University of South Carolina.
While she doesn’t intend to pursue a Ph.D. and settle into research, her lab experiences will make her a better clinician, said Victoria Turgeon, Ulmer’s academic adviser and director of Furman’s neuroscience major.
“For her to be able to see both of those separately and then how they’re dependent on each other was really pivotal,” Turgeon said.
Ulmer loved that the research was tied to Dr. Wilson’s clinical practice.
“We were working with cells that are from real human beings,” she said. “The responsibility of that is huge.”
Uveal melanoma can metastasize quickly and viciously. Ulmer was helping research a chemotherapy that would target the secondary diseases.
Students who work with Wilson – Ulmer is the second to have the opportunity – must be performing at a graduate-school level, Turgeon said. Ulmer’s summer in Turgeon’s lab, working on a tedious cell-identification project, had prepared her for the challenges.
“It also required her to develop some techniques on her own, that we didn’t have available in the lab yet,” Turgeon said. “She was very patient and methodical.”
She’s also motivated: Ulmer wrote her own grant to secure funding for her summer in Turgeon’s lab. She applied for and won a travel grant to participate in the Hawaii conference this May, where she’s eager to share her research with others in the field. Turgeon said Ulmer earned the privilege to interact on that level.
“She played such a pivotal role in the outcome of this project,” she said.

Whitten, who began working at Microsoft in 2000, has been with Xbox through three generations of consoles and the most recent launch of the Xbox One.
Microsoft is opening a search to find a replacement, according to today’s announcement. In the meantime, Whitten’s team will report to Terry Myerson, the executive vice president who oversees the operating systems group.
“Since the beginning, it’s always been about gamers,” Whitten said in a letter to Xbox fans today. “In my heart, I am a gamer and Xbox has been my family. While today I am announcing my departure from Microsoft, I have the utmost confidence in this amazing team and our products.”
Xbox had a great holiday season last year, but sales dropped off a bit early this year. Then the game, Titanfall hit, and things jumped up again for Xbox, especially in the United Kingdom.
And, while Whitten may have left Microsoft, he has not lost his Xbox Live gamertag. You can find him online at “notwen.”

Sympathy Between Humans (Sarah Pribek #2)
Anyway, here Sarah is confronted with actually 3 cases at one:
1. the investigation of her own role in the death of Shorty (which took place in the first book)
2. finding Aidan Hennessy (a 17 year old runaway)
3. stopping a doctor from p ...more
Compton's second police procedural reintroduces the emotionally unstable Sarah Pribek and advances the storyline from The 37th Hour. Once again, Compton delivers a compelling plot and fully-realized characters with convincing problems of the mind and heart__as one character notes, "the mathematics of the human psyche." Disarmingly complex, the novel asks tough questions about law and morality; Sarah, for better or for worse, takes matters into her own hands when the law does not deliver justice....more
Sarah is unequaled in her zeal to do her job and is a loner who lives under the shadow of her husband's actions and her own, striving to survive the upheaval of having both her pa ...more
It was interesting to see how, in the middle of all her personal problems, Sara Pribek is still able to concentrate on solving a case that involves a strange family.
The mystery is very good as is the storytelling, I look forward in reading more from Jodi Compton
Characterization was excellent, Sarah Pribek really came to life, she's an intriguing character. Toward the end, I felt things seemed a bit rushed.
I enjoyed this book, but it was a little bit heavy on the "language" and violence; this wouldn't qualify as a "gentle book", but then cop stories aren't usually gentle--it's a rough world out there.
A slow-paced but enjoyable crime novel. It dealt with issues I hadn't seen in a novel before and kept my interest til the end.
Very sad story compounded by choices and consequences that lead into more and more difficulty and heartbreak.
Super good writing and storytelling!
the ending actually surprised me; and I usually predict plot lines pretty well. kinda made me think back on the book for the next 2 weeks. which for me is a sign of a good book

Fewer officers will be dedicated to neighbourhood policing as part of a review into the distribution of resources in the Lincolnshire Police force.
The force said the ‘comprehensive review’ into the way policing has been delivered across the county has been taking place in recent months.
Neighbourhood policing posts are expected to be reinvested into emerging areas of crime to address issues that effect the most vulnerable people in the county.
Lincolnshire Police has said finer details are yet to be completed with the number of officers redistributed yet to be decided.
Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Paul Gibson said:
“This review has been necessary because resources need to be allocated to such emerging threats as cybercrime, on-line child sexual exploitation, modern day slavery, and other serious issues that present a risk to the communities we serve.
“By redeploying a small number of staff to ‘new’ posts in these areas of investigation we can make sure our communities are getting the best possible service by investing in our ability to deal with the changing nature of criminality, and the new methods being used by criminals to exploit the most vulnerable members of our society.
“The majority of the roles have been released from the efficiencies gained as a result of our regional collaboration with the East Midlands Operational Support Service (EMOpSS), while others have come from the redeployment of officers from neighbourhood policing posts.
“The latter means that officers who remain in those roles will be dedicated to that function, something which was not always possible in the past.
“This leaves us with a slightly smaller number of neighbourhood policing officers, but in turn allows them to spend more time on their beats working with their local communities.
“In the future, as far as is possible, these officers will only be extracted from their core neighbourhood tasks when spontaneous and serious incidents demand their temporary redeployment.
“The numbers of Police Community Support Officers have not been affected by these changes.
“The review has been incredibly thorough and robust; it has looked at a range of issues including the way in which our Force Control Room allocates our police resources using a model called ‘THRIVE’ which is a model of assessment for every non-emergency call that has been running for more than 12 months and has proved incredibly effective.
“It has also focussed on a county-wide analysis of our levels of demand and has taken a detailed look at many aspects of the way we deploy and task our staff.
“We are positive that the changes taking place will only help to better protect and serve our communities in Lincolnshire. We look forward to discussing the changes in more detail in the near future.”
The number of officers and PCSOs in the county will remain unaffected, with 1,100 officers posts and 149 PCSOs.
An announcement outlining the final details of the plan is expected soon.

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 - PS3 Review
Everyone loves a superhero, whether in comic book, movie or video game form. A look at the all-time box-office top-10 reveals a place for both Spider-Man and Batman, and a look at any recent video game top-10 shows that Batman: Arkham Asylum has been tearing it up this year. While those movies and game are primarily focused on one specific hero, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 gives you access to over twenty heroes (and villains). Does this add up to twenty times the fun?
|Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 on PS3...|
The story of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is based on the Secret War comic series and begins a year ago when S.H.I.E.L.D. commander Nick Fury leads Spider-Man, Ironman, Captain America and Wolverine into Latveria to stop the dastardly deeds of their new prime-minister, Lucia von Bardas. It seems that Lucia has been secretly funding The Tinkerer as he attempts to customize and improve super-villains' hardware, and Commander Fury is none too happy about it.
Unfortunately for our superheroes what Nick Fury fails to mention is that the mission may not have been approved by the government, and when von Bardas gets retribution a year later by bombing New York, there is much angst and gnashing of teeth from the public about the role the superheroes played in causing all this trouble. The upshot of this is a senate proposal called the Superhero Registration Act, where all superheroes would have to reveal their identities and allow the military to dictate their future actions.
|Effects are pretty nice.|
This does not sit well with certain members of the superhero community and they refuse to sign up for registration, thereby becoming criminals under the new Act. With the superhero world divided, civil war breaks out between the two factions and you get to decide which side of the fence you 're on – are you on the side of the law, willing to submit to registration, or are you on the side of freedom and willing to fight your friends over this injustice?
Unsurprisingly Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is the sequel to Marvel: Ultimate Alliance and despite the three year gap between games, anyone who played the original will have a very good idea of what to expect from the sequel. M:UA2 is an action-RPG with a third-person view. You control one of four heroes who run around together, the other three are computer-controlled, and can switch between them by hitting a direction button or change party members via the pause menu. In the online mode you cannot swap from one character to another as your three friends control your other party members. The face buttons are your standard fighting fare; quick attack, charged attack, jump and grab. Hitting any three of those buttons will most likely result in a combo attack, which are very straightforward to pull off. L1 blocks, R1 heals (if you have tokens), but the real superhero fun is reserved for L2 and R2.
|Using a couple of pistols.|
By holding R2 the hero you are controlling will have access to four superpower moves (initially you only have two, but this quickly becomes four as you progress through the levels). Ironman blasts enemies with his repulsor beams, Wolverine unleashes nasty claw strikes, Spiderman slings webs, Captain America hurls his shield, the Human Torch unloads some fireballs, Daredevil cracks his whip, Green Goblin tosses grenades and so on.
Holding L2 opens up even more options, this time in the form of fusion attacks which combine two heroes' special powers into one very powerful attack. There are three different Fusion types in the game; Guided, Targeted and Clearing. Guided fusions are best used when your enemies are spread out as they allow you to chase down your quarry. Targeted fusions are best used on bosses as they deliver a couple of very powerful hits in a tightly focused area. Clearing attacks are best used when your heroes are surrounded, and target all enemies within a wide radius of your heroes. Although many fusions of the same group are similar, it 's still a good deal of fun to try out the different combinations of heroes and watch the destruction they can wreak on your enemies. There are over 250 fusion attacks in the game, so trying them all out will take some time.
|Captain America - his movie is in development hell.|
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is an interesting game in that, despite having no major flaws, the game also fails to reach any great heights. There is no "wow" moments in the game; no moment that takes your breath away. One strange thing that happened often while playing the game (it may be limited to the review copy) was that the screen went completely black for a second or two – one second you 're happily kicking enemy butt, the next you can still hear the action, but the screen is black. This happened when the credits were rolling too, so it doesn 't have anything to do with the amount of on-screen action as initially thought. Combat is also a bit repetitive after a while as button-bashing (or continually hitting X, X, circle combos) is all you need to do to pass most areas. The superpowers are cool, but not always more effective than standard attacks, and you have to destroy a number of enemies to charge up the fusion bar before unleashing those powers.
Graphically the game is decent enough, but again there are no moments likely to take your breath away. Characters look and move well, superpowers are instantly recognisable and some of the fusion effects are entertaining (Storm's tornado for one). The environments look detailed enough from the third-person perspective we're playing from, but they do look a little bland close up.
|Visually the game is pretty solid, but dark.|
The first few levels of the game are played in very dark backgrounds, and whilst this makes sense given their setting (invading Latveria at night, taking down the electricity in a warehouse and wandering through tunnels) I found it almost too dark to see the action clearly. It gets a tad annoying attacking dark-coloured enemies on a black background for the first few hours of the game. Even more so when an objective is to destroy a certain number of Latverian technologies, but being unable to see them properly, even with the Human Torch illuminating things as best he could. Thankfully the environments become more diverse, and certainly better-lit as the game progresses.
There's not much music to speak of, and what's there instantly fades to the background. It rises in pitch when there are enemies on the scene, and plateaus when you 're on your own. The voice-acting plays an important role in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 because there's a superhero civil war going on, and you really need to feel what the characters are going through to get involved. Unfortunately, it is a bit of a mixed bag. The main protagonists of the civil war are Ironman and Captain America, both of whom lack intensity in their delivery, and fail to capture the moment. This also applies to most of the heroes you talk to back in the hub (where you go between levels), though there are some exceptions, like Nick Fury, Deadpool and Mr. Fantastic. During battle your heroes will often dish out one-liners to go with their pummelings, and whilst a lot of them are lame, they are believable enough and can give you a wry chuckle.
|Spider-man uses his web in Ultimate Alliance 2!|
Overall Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is an entertaining game, that suffers a little from simple (read: button-bashing) combat mechanics, voice-acting that doesn 't capture the moment and an inability to take your breath away at any stage. However don't let that dissuade you from checking this game out as there's plenty to enjoy; having twenty-plus heroes at your disposal is a lot of fun, there 's a stack of cool superhero powers and fusion attacks to try out, as well as an interesting story and a few RPG elements thrown into the mix. If you like the Marvel universe or the Dynasty Warriors games, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 will be right up your alley. For everyone else it 's still well worth checking out, for hire at least.
Review By: Mike Allison
Talk about Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 in this forum topic now.
|GRAPHICS||Character-models are well done as are the fusion attacks. Some environments are a tad bland, and often too dark. Cut-scenes are not up to scratch, but do the job. ||77%|
|SOUND||The music quickly fades to the background, and the voice-acting is a mixed bag. Some characters do their job well, but the main protagonists lack intensity to go with the story.||71%|
|GAMEPLAY||For a while it 's great fun, but soon the repetitive nature of the combat starts to take hold. Superpowers and fusion attacks spruce things up a bit, as does the seemingly endless cast of heroes and villains.||75%|
|VALUE||Takes around twelve hours to complete on the first run-through, but you 'll likely want to check out both sides of the story before putting it on the shelf. The simulator missions and in-game trivia game add an hour or two of fun.||77%|
|OVERALL||If superheroes float your boat, or you 're interested in the Marvel universe Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 will suit you to a tee. For everyone else there 's fun to be had but it may wear a thin a bit quicker. Overall M:UA2 is solid if unspectacular superhero action.||76%|

Jared Kushner Goes to Iraq
The highest-profile trip yet for the president's son-in-law turned amateur diplomat.
President Donald Trump’s son-in-law turned White House senior advisor flew to Iraq on Monday to assess the war on the Islamic State from the frontlines.
Kushner is accompanying the senior most U.S. military commander, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford, and White House homeland security advisor Tom Bossert on the trip. It’s Kushner’s first to Iraq, and his highest-profile international trip yet. It could provide him a chance to boost his diplomatic credentials after ethics watchdogs criticized Trump for ignoring nepotism standards in appointing his son-in-law to a senior White House role.
Dunford said the trip will provide Kushner a “first-hand and unfiltered” account of the war against ISIS. “The more appreciation you could have for what’s actually happening on the ground, the more informed you are when you start talking about the strategic issues,” Dunford said.
Kushner is slated to meet with senior U.S. advisors, forces, and Iraqi officials during the visit. He is traveling to Iraq on behalf of the president to express support for the U.S.-led coalition fighting ISIS, said Greg Hicks, a spokesman for Dunford.
While Kushner prepares to testify before the Senate for his ties to executives of sanctioned Russian banks, he also struggles to manage the broad portfolio of foreign policy issues his father-in-law handed him. He botched his first foray into Middle East diplomacy before Trump even stepped into office after lobbying Britain to scuttle a U.N. vote on denouncing Israeli settlements, behind the back of sitting U.S. President Barack Obama’s outgoing administration. His efforts failed, and the vote passed 14-0 with a U.S. abstention.
The trip provides a way for Dunford to curry favor with one of Trump’s closest confidantes, while other senior government officials struggle to crack into the president’s tight-knit inner circle. (China is reportedly funneling its messages to Trump through Kushner rather than the State Department, the New York Times reported Sunday).
Kushner arrives in Iraq after a wave of successful but bloody offensives against ISIS. Iraqi government forces are slogging their way through Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, in deadly house-to-house fighting to liberate the city from ISIS. In Syria, U.S.-backed forces are laying the groundwork for an eventual offensive against Raqqa, ISIS’s de facto capital.
