The rewriting of history by the power elite was painfully evident as the nation marked the 10th anniversary of the start of the Iraq War. Some claimed they had opposed the war when they had not. Others among “Bush’s useful idiots” argued that they had merely acted in good faith on the information available; if they had known then what they know now, they assured us, they would have acted differently. This, of course, is false. The war boosters, especially the “liberal hawks”—who included Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Al Franken and John Kerry, along with academics, writers and journalists such as Bill Keller, Michael Ignatieff, Nicholas Kristof, David Remnick, Fareed Zakaria, Michael Walzer, Paul Berman,Thomas Friedman, George Packer, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Kanan Makiya and the late Christopher Hitchens — did what they always have done: engage in acts of self-preservation. To oppose the war would have been a career killer. And they knew it.
These apologists, however, acted not only as cheerleaders for war; in most cases they ridiculed and attempted to discredit anyone who questioned the call to invade Iraq. Kristof, in The New York Times, attacked the filmmaker Michael Moore as a conspiracy theorist and wrote that anti-war voices were only polarizing what he termed “the political cesspool.” Hitchens said that those who opposed the attack on Iraq “do not think that Saddam Hussein is a bad guy at all.” He called the typical anti-war protester a “blithering ex-flower child or ranting neo-Stalinist.” The halfhearted mea culpas by many of these courtiers a decade later always fail to mention the most pernicious and fundamental role they played in the buildup to the war—shutting down public debate.
~ from America's Sell Out Intellectuals and the Perks They Get by Chris Hedges ~
When I was in grad school in the early 90s, I risked my Graduate Assistantship protesting Operation Desert Storm. When the US launched an attack against the nation of Afghanistan after 9/11, I was in the streets protesting and I did the very same when we launched our ill-fated war in Iraq in 2003. For each of these efforts, I was derided and called almost every name in the book -- just like Chris Hedges was. People -- including self-defined "liberals" -- called me unpatriotic, a lover of despots and an idiot.
When you take a public stand that is unpopular, it is maddening when many of the people who tore into you later declare that they too were on your side all along. While you faced vitriol and threats, they did not. While you were castigated publicly, they won praises as patriots and thinking liberals.
Over the years of the Obama administration, I have been a steadfast critic of his penchant for White House secrecy, incessant attacks against whistleblowers, escalation of the drone war and his overall ratcheting up of the national police state. Many so-called liberals openly have derided those of us who have the temerity to question the values and morals of America's first black president. I wonder, when a subsequent president further escalates the precedents set by Obama, if many of these very same people will do an about-face to claim that they opposed these policies from the very beginning.
It doesn't take a modicum of conviction and courage to go along in real time, only to criticize when popular opinion has changed. It is comparable to being a fair-weather friend, only a lot more pernicious!

Based on the last statistics, in 2019 54,619 young people participated in the Erasmus Plus programme to and from the UK. This happened thanks to 684 projects activated with the support of 144.69 millions grants.
The Erasmus Plus programme is a well-established scheme that provides crucial fundings to support existing relationships to mobility initiatives. Not just mobility in education and training, but also mobility in the field of youth, from Outermost regions. And also Erasmus Mundus and the Erasmus Plus Master Loans (Key Action 1). Other initiatives are those aiming to build cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices (Key Action 2). Plus initiatives to support the policy reform (Key Action 3). The decision to opt out robs youngsters and students of opportunities that are central to academic, personal and professional development.
Under the new deal with the EU, the UK has decided to leave the Erasmus Plus Programme due to BREXIT. It includes also the European Solidarity Corps.
This means that the English and European youngsters, willing to go to the UK for mobility initiatives, will no longer participate in the Erasmus Plus Programme starting from January 2021. The reason given by the UK is that the Erasmus Plus Programme would have been too expensive to face after BREXIT. The existing Erasmus scheme is thought to be worth around £243 millions in income a year to the UK economy.
Despite the UK leaving the Erasmus Plus, UK and other countries beneficiaries can continue to take part in grants already approved until their end date, even if it is after 2020.
The BREXIT deal on Erasmus Plus would effectively blow a hole in the education sector and deprive young people of opportunities, as it facilitates opportunities for young people for whom it otherwise would not be financially viable.
As a replacement to the Erasmus Plus programme, the UK Prime Minister has mentioned the “Turing Scheme“. The Prime Minister says this will give students the opportunities to travel to “the best universities in the world”. Not solely universities based in Europe. Such new scheme seems to identify as a one-way scheme with English participants only. It is also designed only for universities and schools. There is no provision (as far as we know) for non-formal education, youth, sport, vocational training or lifelong learning.
The implications about travelling and visas are not clear so far. In fact there is not a statement by the UK Government nor a guidance by the National Agency on the matter.

After winning a $1.05 billion verdict against Samsung for alleged trade dress dilution and patent infringement, Apple has filed a motion with the presiding judge of the tech world's biggest trial requesting a massive increase in the initial jury award.
An additional $707 million has been tallied up by Apple's lawyers as being due to the company, and unfortunately, the logic here is sound. The jury in the case found Samsung willfully infringed Apple's design and software patents (meaning they should have known they were infringing, basically), and under US statute, this entitles Apple to an award of triple the amount of the actual damages resulting from infringement.
$400 million has been tacked on to the design infringement award, along $135 million for the utility patents (those numbers are in addition to the base damages for both claims). Apple is also requesting $120 million in supplemental damages, covering the time span from the start of the trial in June to the final judgment date. Supplemental damages are the money Samsung made during the time of the trial by selling infringing products, but that the jury was not allowed to consider in calculating actual damages. This is a very common request in IP disputes post-judgment.
Finally, Apple is asking for another $50 million in pre-judgement interest given an estimated payout date of December 31st (not going to happen, trust me - it'll be delayed for a while, this is mostly procedural).
Given that the jury found willful infringement, Apple's request for treble damages may well be granted. We'll see in the coming months.

I should have stuck to my exact words that I wouldn't believe the takeover would happen until I saw the new owners standing in front of St. James' Park and I was proved right on that one. But I think I got sucked in that this deal was done, just as every other Newcastle fan did.
Because what had happened, which never happened previously, was that MIke Ashley had actually accepted a bid. He had taken a non-refundable deposit so he was happy with that. So we all thought that was the main barrier broken and that it would be a matter of time. But unfortunately it dragged on over 17, 18 weeks and there must have been issues and obviously they've pulled out.
There is talk back in the UK that the Reuben Brothers and Amanda Staveley would like to resurrect the deal. Mike Ashley, through Lee Charnley, has said he would to still be open to the deal happening. So there is a little glimmer. At the moment there is a lot of despair around Newcastle because the fans had their hopes built up on what could be in front of them and set up for the future, but unfortunately that has been taken away.
If Staveley was correct about other teams not wanting the takeover to happen, then that's very, very disappointing.
I've always been somebody who believes in just looking after your own club. Let everybody get on with their own business. But it seems like a common theme today as Manchester City have accused certain other Premier League clubs of getting involved in their case as well. It seems that the clubs in the Premier League, with the power that they have are using it for various different things now. They are getting involved with other football clubs issues.
It's never been the way I've looked at doing things, I've always just believed in doing things right for your club and let all other clubs crack on with what they need to do. But, with the money that is involved and the power these clubs have, it means they are getting involved in other situations with other football clubs.
I'd be extremely disappointed if it was one of the reasons why it took so long. You just wonder what their agenda is if that is the case. You wonder if they are fearful about how quickly Newcastle could they become a powerful club in the Premier League with the finances they could've been getting from a new ownership.
Without a doubt Steve Bruce needs a striker. Someone with Premier League experience who has scored goals at that level on a regular basis. When I'm talking like that I'm talking about someone like Callum Wilson.
I think he would be an excellent signing but obviously he's not going to come cheap. Bournemouth are a financially strong football club and certainly won't be letting one of their prized assets leave for cheap money. And that would mean - with the exception of the Joelinton deal - Mike would have to do something that he hasn't really done in many previous windows and that is up the money.
If there is only a limited amount of money for a couple of players I would say Steve would also be looking at a central defender because this season he lost so many of his central defenders through injury and they were very limited in that position. If there is a limited amount of money I think they will be his priority positions.
Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson has been linked with Newcastle
FULHAM ARE UP
First of all I was delighted with Fulham's win. I've been really impressed by them this season once again. It was always going to be tough because Brentford are an excellent team, and then you throw the west London derby factor into the mix.
I was a bit nervous before the game but I thought Scott's tactical plan was excellent. He wanted to stop the front-three of Brentford being a threat which I felt they did for the majority of the game. I spoke to him the morning after the game just to congratulate him, as he's an ex-teammate of mine. It's fantastic for such a great club. I've spoken many times in this column about what I think about Fulham.
Now looking towards next season, Fulham obviously need to do things differently to stop a repeat of what happened two seasons ago.
This time Fulham need to bring in players with Premier League experience, but more importantly, they need to bring good characters in. What I felt was wrong two years ago was that when they spent £140m they just bought lots of players who had no Premier League experience at all.
And looking from afar, the new players seemed to cause a bit of a divide in the dressing room. You had players who had done fantastically well getting the club promoted who were now being pushed aside when the news signings came in and they didn't really make a contribution.
I think Scott also witnessed this happening when he took over towards the end of that campaign. I could see the pain he was under as the team wasn't performing in the way he wanted them too. He obviously changed things around for this season and he was very successful.
He'll be looking at not having to spend crazy amounts of money but bringing the right players, but the main thing is the right characters. The dressing room looks very strong, the celebrations they had together after the game between the staff and players was fantastic, there seems to be a real spirit. And they need to keep that because it is going to be tough for them.
It always is tough for the teams coming up to the Premier League. It's not always about money. Look at Aston Villa, they spent lots of money and survived by the skin of their teeth. Fans are always demanding spend, spend, spend but you got to spend it wisely, you've got to spend it right. And Fulham didn't do that last time. They just went gung-ho I felt. There didn't seem to be a lot of organisation in there signings. But I think Scott will do that. He will bide his time. He will give the players who have done brilliantly for him an opportunity in the Premier League.
Those players who were there last time will be stronger for the experience as well. They'll know what's happening, they'll know what's coming. So they'll not be two months into the season and the players are just realising what's going on. I think they will be fine. The club is on a bit of a high and I think they are going to do things in the right way. It was a harsh lesson two years ago but I think they've learned from it, which is the most important thing. Even on your downs you've got to learn from those mistakes and I think the club and certainly Scott will do that and make the right decisions.
HUDDERSFIELD AND COWLEY
The decision to sake Danny Cowley, whether it was right or wrong, just seemed the timing was a bit strange.
The chairman came out and said he wasn't looking for any other applicants so he obviously had Danny's replacement lined-up. It must have been something they were thinking about before Danny got the results to keep them in the Championship.
As far as Huddersfield's aspirations go, I think every club in the Championship wants to get promoted. But the reality is to get those type of players usually costs a bit of money. And whether Huddersfield are in that financial position, I'm not sure. They'll want to have a strong season. They've brought in Carlos Corberán who has worked closely with Bielsa so he'll have a lot of his ideas. And I hope it's another David Wagner effect that will galvanise the club.
The big thing for Huddersfield during these COVID-19 times is that they really need their fans in the crowd. They are one of the clubs where their fans play such a big role in what they do. When they've got to play behind closed doors I'd imagine it's a difficult task, because when the fans are rocking and getting behind the team it is a fantastic place to be. That has been a big issue for Huddersfield, they really need to get their fans back as quickly and safely as possible for them to make their home stadium a fortress again.

NEWCASTLE BLUE STAR JOB
I know the Newcastle Blue Star chairman, Stephen Best, really well and he asked if I would like to be involved at the club.
It's a new club, it was only re-formed in 2018. They are currently developing the first-team stadium, the training facilities and setting up the academy. So I'm going to be overseeing all those type of things. Looking over the academy from the youngest team at under 5's all the way up to the under 23's, organising coaching seminars for different age groups, also looking at bringing in sponsorship for the stadium and the first-team to help the club grow and give it a bigger profile.
The chairman and the club have huge ambitions and they are backing it. They are guys are from the area where the club is now, they want to give a bit back to the community and they've got great ideas and great thoughts. It is something different for me and it gives me a bit of experience doing different things so I thought it was a worthwhile opportunity.
What made it the most appealing thing was the real ambition of the people in charge. People may laugh but they have ambitions to reach the Football League. That's what they are doing with the ground. They are getting it Football League ready right now, they are not doing it in stages. So if the club was to ever get to that level the stadium would match the criteria.
There is a huge gap now between where the club is now and the Football League, but they've seen other clubs do it. They've seen Salford do it. A local club to us, South Shields, who if COVID-19 hadn't hit, would have been in National League North next season. And South Shields looked very low down the pyramid when their owner took over. So if you've got the ambition and foresight and there's an opportunity, why not aim for the stars and give it a go?

Sir.—I was greatly interested to read the letter from abroad on "Mucolipidosis IV" (ML IV) by Dr Laron in the Journal (1981;135:975).
With regard to the metabolic defect of this disorder, I would point out that an abnormal ganglioside accumulation has been described not only in cultured skin fibroblasts1 but also in the white matter.2 In addition, a second component accumulating in ML IV was described as acid mucopolysaccharide,1 but it was suggested that it may be hyaluronic acid.3
Although the enzyme deficiency is not yet known, a ganglioside neuraminidase deficiency has been reported.4
Finally, prenatal diagnosis of ML IV has been established by electron microscopy. Abnormal storage bodies (membranous cytoplasmic bodies) in cells grown from cultures of fetal amnion and typical changes in the corneal epithelium were disclosed by ultrastructural investigations.5
I would also emphasize that corneal clouding, present even at birth,

Marcoleta blames mature-rated video games for bad vices of teens
By JOHN CARLO M. CAHINHINAN
House Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta has blamed the rise of character-based video games in the growing number of young adults engaged in unprotected sex.
Marcoleta cited the recent study conducted by the New Hampshire-based Dartmouth College, wherein teenagers who play risk-glorifying, character-based video games which rated for mature audience “are more likely to act aggressively, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and have unprotected sex.”
“The study suggests that game players may develop values consistent with their deviant game characters and are more likely to act in a host of dangerous ways, not just in the specific ways enacted in the games,” said Marcoleta.
Marcoleta recently filed House Resolution No. 342, urging the Committee on Welfare of Children to conduct an inquiry on the adverse effects of character-based video games on Filipino teens.
Marcoleta stressed that “no one under 18-years old should have access to mature-rated games as they were associated with changes in a wide rang of high-risk behaviors.”
He said Congress should prescribe counter-measures “in order to curb, if not discourage youngster from engaging in such charaters-based video games.”

From a land before time to the land of tomorrowNew Mexico is a land of ancient cultures granting us a rich and unique collective story. The history of New Mexico begins over 10,000 years ago when the earliest known inhabitants of this land wandered through the area hunting long-extinct animals and leaving the first human marks on the state’s remarkable landscape. Each Heritage Hotels & Resort tells a unique piece of New Mexico's history through our architecture, design, artwork, decor, cuisine and entertainment.
Two other groups of early residents, the Ancient Pueblo Peoples of the north, and the Mogollon Peoples of the south, farmed the fertile river valleys of state, built homes of stone and adobe out of sheer cliff walls, and created strikingly beautiful pottery, pictographs and petroglyphs.
By the end of the 13th century the descendants of these ancient peoples had completely abandoned their elaborate home sites. Legend has it that they migrated to areas further south that offered more dependable rainfall and water. Eventually, these early tribes merged into the various Pueblo peoples whose descendants still live in Arizona and New Mexico.
The next wave of influence came from Spain — most notably through conquistador Francisco Vázquez de Coronado y Luján, who came to New Mexico in search of gold. Coronado and his men returned to Spain without their hoped-for treasure, but they opened the door to those who would return to the Land of Enchantment leaving an indelible mark on the land and its people.
The Spanish ruled New Mexico for nearly 130 years until 1821 when Mexico won its independence from Spain. Soon after, the Santa Fe Trail brought new lifestyles, money and settlers to New Mexico. By the 1880s, with the advance of the railroad across the state’s great expanses of mountain and desert, New Mexico was well on its way to statehood.
New Mexico was admitted to the Union as the 47th state on Jan. 6, 1912. Since that time, New Mexico has experienced plenty of growth and change, from the pain of two World Wars and the advent of the nuclear age, to the growth of an elite scientific community exemplified today in the Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories.
There’s little doubt that a visit to this unique land will leave you yearning to know more about New Mexico history. Here’s a list of sites to put on your list if you’re ready to experience this remarkable history firsthand during your New Mexico vacation.

San Diego Air & Space Museum reviews
Visited the San Diego Air and Space Museum with the family. We enjoyed the visit and especially the historical aspect of it, but it is quite small and very dense so there is a limit to how long one... more »
This museum is in Balboa Park in San Diego, right across from the Automotive Museum. We were greeted at the door by a charming guy who briefed us on COVID requirements, then directed us to the ticket.... more »
The museum is small by the standards set by outdoor air museums or the Smithsonian, but it's mighty for what it is. Nestled in a building from the World's Fair, the classic architecture lends itself to a smooth chronology of air and space history. Many planes are recreations of the original historic planes, but the quality of them, and the details in the exhibits are really excellent. I really recommend talking to the volunteer docents about the history encased in their museum section. We talked to a lovely man, Ron, who walked us through all of WWI and the planes and information the museum had. And he would find us in different parts of the museum to offer addition tidbits here and there. We easily spend 1.5-2 hours there.
Take the kids this place is awesome. Plane buff will love the excellent range of planes. The kids will love the interactive displays. Would be 5 stars, but its quite small and your out fairly quickly. Recommended.

We performed independent immunoprecipitations for each whole-genome analysis. Human WA09 embryonic stem cells were grown to a final count of 5x10^7 – 1x10^8 cells for each location
analysis reaction. Cells were chemically crosslinked by the addition
of one-tenth volume of fresh 11% formaldehyde solution for 15 minutes
at room temperature. Cells were rinsed twice with 1xPBS and harvested
using a silicon scraper and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Cells
were stored at –80°C prior to use.
Cells were resuspended, lysed in lysis buffers and sonicated to
solubilize and shear crosslinked DNA. Sonication conditions vary
depending on cells, culture conditions, crosslinking and equipment.
We used a Misonix Sonicator 3000 and sonicated at power 7 for 10
x 30 second pulses (90 second pause between pulses). Samples were
kept on ice at all times.
The resulting whole cell extract was incubated overnight at 4°C
with 100 µl of Dynal Protein G magnetic beads that had been
preincubated with 10 µg of the appropriate antibody. For cases where suppliers did not provide information regarding antibody concentration, 20 5l of the supplied solution was used per reaction. The immunoprecipitation was allowed to proceed overnight.
Beads were washed 5 times with RIPA buffer and 1 time with TE containing
50 mM NaCl. Bound complexes were eluted from the beads by heating
at 65°C with occasional vortexing and crosslinking was reversed
by overnight incubation at 65°C. Whole cell extract DNA (reserved
from the sonication step) was also treated for crosslink reversal.
Immunoprecipitated DNA and whole cell extract DNA were then purified
by treatment with RNAseA, proteinaseK and multiple phenol:chloroform:isoamyl
alcohol extractions. Purified DNA was blunted and ligated to linker
and amplified using a two-stage PCR protocol. Amplified DNA was
labeled and purified using Bioprime random primer labeling kits
(Invitrogen, immunoenriched DNA was labeled with Cy5 fluorophore,
whole cell extract DNA was labeled with Cy3 fluorophore).
Labeled DNA was mixed (5 – 6 µg each of immunoenriched
and whole cell extract DNA) and hybridized to arrays in Agilent
hybridization chambers for 20 hours at 40°C. Arrays were then washed
and scanned. Whole genome arrays were hybridized in batches of 35 to 60 arrays.
Slides were scanned using an Agilent DNA microarray scanner BA. PMT settings were set manually to normalize bulk signal in the Cy3 and Cy5 channel. For efficient batch processing of scans, we used Genepix (version 6.0) software. Scans were automatically aligned and then manually examined for abnormal features. Intensity data were then extracted in batch.
A more detailed experimental protocol can be found here.

This is Dundee's story of those that served in the First World War, and of the people left at home
John felt proud of his achievements and had even managed to make things good with his brother. Considering him a coward John’s father signed after the third military service was passed in April 1918 (setting the upper age limit at 51). He claimed he was taking John’s place at the front. He lost part of his leg at the Battle of Selle in October. In May 1919 the family were reunited and his father forgave him recognising his son’s commitment. Dundee had many conscientious objectors and similar tales of reconciliation were now more common across the city.

Union bosses gave millions of dollars to Democrats – and now those same Democrats want to take away workers’ freedom to work without being forced to pay dues to the unions.
The so-called “Independent” Redistricting Commission finished its work ages ago – we just used the maps they created in last month’s election – but now they’re suing to get more of your tax dollars.
Here’s the news you need to know! Thanks for joining us on the Frontlines of Freedom.
FREELOADING UNION BOSSES
Right-to-Work has empowered all workers, union and non-union alike, to make their own decisions about their employment and about their paychecks. But the union bosses who depend on those dues – and the Democrats who depend on their political contributions – want to silence them.
Former UAW-member Terry Bowman said it best in his op-ed at Fox News: Michigan Democrats want to steal my rights so they can reward their union buddies
“I was a union member for nearly 20 years, and I still work in a unionized shop. I know the arguments. They say right-to-work leads to ‘free loaders’ who get the benefits of union membership without paying the dues. But under this law, unions actually have to show value to workers to convince them to stick around. Without right-to-work, unions are the real free loaders, taking workers’ dues without having to earn them.”
Unions gave millions of dollars to the Democrats, who now want to repeal workers’ freedom to choose – even though 60% of Michigan residents support Right-to-Work, including 55% of union households. Just 17% oppose Michigan’s Right-to-Work law.
Many workers today didn’t vote for the unions that exist in their workplace – and Right-to-Work gave them the freedom to choose. Lawmakers should listen to their constituents and defend freedom in the workplace.
UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS WANT MORE MONEY FOR NO WORK
Michigan’s majority-partisan Redistricting Commission has been no stranger to controversy over its short life. They have made headlines for obscene tweets, for holding illegal secret meetings, missed deadlines and rewarding themselves with a 7% pay increase.
Their work is done, and those maps were used in the election held last month. Now, they’re back in the news after filing a lawsuit against the state legislature, demanding another $3.17 million of your tax dollars to continue funding their work-free existence.
It’s another slap in the face of the working families who sign their paychecks and are struggling to make ends meet. There’s no reason for the Commission to meet, no work to do, and no reason for taxpayers to continue to pony up millions for these unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats.

Lionsgate, China’s Infinity Pictures/CMC and Yue Hua Entertainment Culture Communications are closing a deal which will see the “Step Up” dance film franchise take a whole new direction.
The plan is for the sixth film in the franchise to be a Chinese-language sequel as the series has been very popular in Asia, meaning this made-for-the-Middle-Kingdom effort should far even better. Action choreographer and second unit director Ron Yuan will helm the project with an all-Chinese cast.
Li Wei will pen the film which will incorporate a martial arts aspect into all the colorful footwork – so roundhouse kicks merging into twerking? Dede Nickerson and Du Hua will produce.
Shooting kicks off in Beijing and Los Angeles on December 9 for release next year in Greater China. The dance series has been quite cheap to produce and has yielded over $600 million in worldwide box office for Lionsgate.

Local leaders respond to bomb threat at Spokane County Democrats office
SPOKANE, Wash. — A man walked into the Spokane County Democrats office and threatened to blow up the building. Spokane Police and the FBI are trying to figure out why.
The man claimed to have a bomb, however police didn’t find one in his backpack. Volunteers inside the office are shaken, but not injured.
Police haven’t told us who the man is, or what motivated him. However, Spokane County Democtratic leaders are convinced it was a political attack.
When police got to the Spokane County Democrats office, they saw smoke coming out the building. A man who claimed to have a bomb took a volunteer hostage, then lit a fire in the office before surrendering.
That man is in custody. The case is being investigated as domestic terrorism by the FBI.
Spokane County Democrats say the man originally passed a note to a volunteer before threatening to blow the place up.
Police have not said anything about such note, or why the man targeted the office.
The Spokane County Republican Party posted a statement on Facebook, saying in part:
“We are glad that all the individuals and volunteers are safe from this frightening and very disturbing experience. Hate should never be tolerated and we will always denounce all forms of violence and stand against hate. We must as a community stand together against these types of attacks.”
Spokane City Council President Beean Beggs said:
“My thoughts and appreciation go out to those trapped in the Teamsters building today and our first responders who secured our safety once again. I condemn anyone who uses fear and violence to accomplish a political goal. Spokane is stronger than fear, and together we stand for peace, justice and a thriving community.”
As police and the FBI investigate what happened, Spokane County Democrats are working on a more intensified security plan.

The Turkish government has decided to approve the Kyoto Protocol. the U.N.-led global climate pact, and will send a bill on the issue to parliament shortly, a government spokesman said on Monday.
The Kyoto Protocol binds 37 industrialised countries to limits on their greenhouse gases compared to 1990 levels.
More than 170 nations have ratified the pact, which came into force in 2005 and Turkey is one of the few countries to have failed to do so.
"The government has decided as of today to approve this protocol. In a short period of time it will be sent to parliament," Deputy Prime Minister Cemil Cicek said after a cabinet meeting.
The government has a large majority in parliament and should have no difficulty in pushing the decision through.
"Turkey had not signed this protocol for its own reasons but not signing it means that it was excluded from the discussions," he said.
Most countries in the world are in UN talks to agree a broader climate deal from 2013, and developing countries have said rich countries must prove they can meet their targets under the first round of talks which end in 2012.
Turkey had already completed the process of preparing to sign the protocol but had until now declined to do so because of concerns about the costs.
The Kyoto Protocol is a pact agreed by governments at a 1997 U.N. conference in Kyoto, Japan, to reduce greenhouse gases emitted by developed countries to at least 5 percent below 1990 levels by 2008-12.
The United States, long the world's biggest source of emissions but which is being surpassed by China, came out against the pact in 2001.

Are General Motors Company (NYSE:GM)‘ new Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra losers?
A lot of Internet trash talk has been aimed at both full-size pickups since GM unveiled the just-redesigned new models in January. Even my Foolish colleague Daniel Miller has been skeptical, saying that the Silverado “looks to disappoint” when the all-new models hit dealers later this spring.
But I think it’s unlikely that the trucks will “disappoint.” In fact, I think there’s a good chance they’ll turn out to be great trucks once folks get a chance to drive them.
More improvements than meet the eye
Most observers are keying off the new trucks’ looks — they bear a strong family resemblance to the outgoing versions they’re replacing. (The silver truck is a 2013 Silverado LTZ, and the red one is the all-new 2014 version.)
But there appear to be a whole lot of subtle improvements baked into the new truck. GM certainly hasn’t been shy about saying so: The company called a press conference last week to tout its new haulers, pointing out, among other things, that a Silverado with GM’s new 5.3 liter V8 got slightly better EPA mileage ratings than Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F)‘s much-advertised “EcoBoost” V6 truck.
That sounds like a trivial thing, but a lot of full-size pickup buyers would rather have the V8, all things being equal — even if it’s a V8 that runs on just four cylinders much of the time to save gas, as General Motors Company (NYSE:GM)’s new engine will.
GM has been touting a slew of other upgrades, from the new truck’s impressive towing capacity to an upgraded interior. But all automakers do that when they launch new models. Why should we take GM’s word for it?
Here’s why: Because after years of up and down quality, the company’s latest models have been very good.

Its form factor is compact, measuring 6.1 x 11.71 x 13.27 inches, making it suitable for cramped spaces like dorm rooms.
One notable feature is the abundance of front-facing ports, a rare convenience in most gaming PCs. However, it’s worth noting that the PC has a tendency to overheat under heavy load, potentially affecting performance. This issue necessitates vigilance during extended gaming sessions.

'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Almost Killed Off Larry David
Queue the theme music
Published Aug 05, 2022For the makers of Curb Your Enthusiasm, every season is the last season. With that information, it shouldn't come as too much of a shock that Season 11 of the show almost ended with the death of (fictional) Larry David — and that they even went as far as to film the scene.
While working on the Emmy-winning season, the creators of Curb were unsure if it would be their last. To make sure all of their bases were covered, they took advantage of the ongoing plot of David's ulteriorly motivated political career — which stemmed from his desire not to put a fence around his pool. The final episode of the season was to show David falling into someone else's pool, never to resurface.
"I wanted to prepare as if it was the last [season]," said Curb executive producer Jeff Schaffer [via the Hollywood Reporter]. "So Larry kept falling into that pool without the fence and banging his head [for the scene]. We actually have a shot after he'd fallen in, of the still pool with just the envelope floating in the middle, and maybe adding one bubble."
"We shot as if it was going to be the last one ever," he continued. "I had to at least prepare for it."
Lucky for fans of the show, the 12th season of Curb Your Enthusiasm is currently being written.


The relationship between the town and the Mattabass-ett Sewage Treat-ment Plant has not always been productive or harmonious. During a public hearing last month, several town officials accused members of the plant's board of directors of using profanities, and at least two board members openly insulted or directed profanities at Cromwell town officials. The public hearing was supposed to be an opportunity for the public to give input on plans to possibly relocate the sewage plant's outfall, so that the plant's effluent plume will mix with the Connecticut River more effectively. At the hearing, Robert Weimar, a consultant for Camp, Dresser, and Mc-Kee, of Wethers-field, presented a number of options to improve the way the plant's effluent plume mixes with the river. In the past, residents and town officials have reported seeing scum and foam near the outfall, which is set about 170 feet into the river. But years of tension and hostility between the plant's officials and several town officials played a factor in the tense and emotional hearing. Selectman Al Waters, a frequent critic of the plant, tried to read a published report during the hearing that was critical of the plant, but was stopped by Mattabassett District Executive Director Brian Armet because the letter was not relevant to the hearing. Brien Robertson, one of two Cromwell residents on the plant's board of directors, questioned why the hearing was held at the plant and not at the town hall. Cromwell officials had offered the plant a room in town hall, and Robertson argued that the plant lacked adequate parking and space for a public hearing. Some Selectmen on Wednesday said officials should try to do more to be "better neighbors" to the plant. Selectman Ray Mildren acknowledged that the behavior of some of plant's board members at last month's hearing was "unfortunate," but also suggested that town officials could have done more to make the meeting more productive. Other selectmen noted that the town was going to have to do business with the Mattabassett District no matter what, and said it made sense to try and establish an amicable and productive relationship with plant officials. The discussion about being a good neighbor to the plant came after the board deliberated over whether to reappoint Doug Sienna to the plant's board of directors. Selectmen remained deadlocked in a 3 to 3 vote to reappoint Sienna, who holds one of two Cromwell seats on the plant's board. Terry, who said there were no other candidates to replace Sienna, broke the tie by voting to reappoint Sienna. Selectmen said they want more input from Cromwell's two members on the plant's board, and said they would like to kept abreast of what happens during board of directors meetings. Earlier this week, Armet said he would also like to see a better relationship between the Mattabassett District and town officials, and said he would help facilitate any improvements possible. The town will be forced to deal with plant officials in the near future due for a variety of reasons. Next week, the plant's board of directors is expected to vote on the terms of a lawsuit stemming from mercury spill that took place back in 1998. The town is an intervener in that suit, and the plant is expected to make improvements to a town park as part of the terms of the settlement. Mattabassett officials are also expected to host a second public hearing in the coming weeks on plans to possibly move the plant's outfall. To contact Jim Hickey, call (860) 347-3331 ext. 221, or e-mail email@example.com.

Financial Conduct Authority under fire for not launching investigation into Royal Mail flotation
The Financial Conduct Authority came under fire yesterday from MPs who questioned why it has not launched an investigation into the privatisation of Royal Mail.
Margaret Hodge, the Labour MP and chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), said the share price had ‘exploded’ on the first day.
She said it was ‘a pretty unbelievable jump’ to rise by 38 per cent on the first day, and repeatedly asked why it had not triggered a probe by the FCA.
Sell-off: Royal Mail shares were priced at 330p, but immediately rocketed in price
During the grilling by MPs on the PAC, Martin Wheatley, chief executive of the FCA, insisted there was no need for an investigation.
He told MPs: ‘Nothing has come to our attention that suggests a regulatory failure.’ Wheatley added that shares in initial public offerings are always ‘priced to go’.
One of the biggest controversies surrounding the flotation of the Royal Mail is that the shares were priced at only 330p, but immediately rocketed in price. Yesterday they closed at 511.5p.
Yesterday’s hearing followed a critical report by the National Audit Office earlier this month which warned the Government ‘could have achieved better value for the taxpayer.’
The spending watchdog said taxpayers lost around £750million on the first day of trading.
Cable and Michael Fallon, the Business Minister, will today give evidence in a separate enquiry by the Business Innovation and Skills Committee into the Royal Mail sell-off.

More than 50 years ago, in August 1969, the Northern Irish Troubles began in earnest with the battle of the Bogside. For three days, from 12–14 August, large crowds armed with stones and petrol bombs, loosely coordinated by the Derry Citizens’ Defence Association, battled successfully to keep the Royal Ulster Constabulary out of the Bogside area of the city after violence broke out during the annual loyalist Apprentice Boys march.
The civil rights campaign had begun with a great sense of optimism a year earlier, but from October 1968, when police baton-charged a march in Derry’s Duke Street, civil rights protests had been surrounded by increasing tension. Derry – or Londonderry, as it is officially known – was the North’s second largest city. It was a chiefly nationalist city, but gerrymandering and discrimination had long ensured that the unionist party maintained control of local government in the city with only a third of the vote.
The riots marked the start of 30 years of violent conflict
The battle of the Bogside only ended when British troops marched into Waterloo Place in the city centre and stretched out concertina barbed wire and barricades across the roads and replaced the exhausted RUC at the front lines. Army commanders agreed not to try to enter the Bogside, and ‘Free Derry’, as it was dubbed, was administered for the following two months by a broad-based local defence association. The British government now forced the unionist government at Stormont to implement reforms aimed at conciliating the Catholic and nationalist minority that made up one-third of the North’s population, including disarming the police force. For many on the left, Free Derry represented a great victory of popular mobilisation over the forces of repression, and it received large-scale and sympathetic media coverage across Europe and North America.
But the rioting in the Bogside had also triggered a dangerous escalation. No one had died in Derry, but in Belfast there was widespread sectarian rioting and battles with the police. Shooting broke out and seven people were shot dead on 14 and 15 August. A day after the soldiers were deployed to Derry, they were sent on to the streets of Belfast. They would remain there for more than three decades.
Read more Why we should remember…?
The battle of the Bogside was an important catalyst for change, triggering a determined British government intervention that ended the unionist monopoly on power. But it also marked the beginning of 30 years of violent conflict that would claim the lives of more than 3,600 people and bring untold suffering.
More like this
It was only finally brought to an end by the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, a delicate compromise between unionists and nationalists and the British and Irish governments. It is a measure of the potential for renewed political tensions in Northern Ireland that this agreement is now at the centre of debate on the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union.

Ask any parent with young children and chances are they’re familiar with sleep training, a method of teaching infants and toddlers how to fall asleep. But did you know the same approach could be used on adults?
“Just as we do with babies and small children, it’s important that adults develop healthy sleep habits,” says Dr. Teresa Bartlett, senior medical officer at Sedgwick. “These include an understanding of circadian rhythm and the importance of paying attention to the signals of our brain desiring sleep.”
One of those signals is the body’s natural release of melatonin when we’re tired, especially when it’s dark outside.
“We have all had that feeling of overwhelming sleepiness in the evening and may even fall asleep on the couch watching television, or we override that sensation to stay awake longer,” says Bartlett. “That sensation is our melatonin hormone peaking. If we override it and miss the time frame, it can be difficult to fall asleep.”
Sleep training is one way to help your body fall asleep easier.
“Sleep training is essentially developing habits that cultivate natural sleep that allows your brain to function the way it was intended,” explains Bartlett. “The brain stores new information during sleep and gets rid of toxic waste. It reorganizes information and neurons communicate. During sleep, many hormones are secreted into the body as well, as the body is able to repair cells.”
Below are seven ways to train your way to better sleep:
- Invest in a weighted blanket. “Weighted blankets can be helpful in making you feel safe and comfortable, much like a swaddle for a baby,” says Bartlett. “If they are too heavy for you, just strategically place a pillow or part of a blanket on top of you to give the weighted feeling.”
- Listen to a boring bedtime story. Bedtime stories aren’t just for babies. Monotonous sleep stories and sleep meditations can help guide you to la-la land as well.
- Give supplements and meds a try, but proceed with caution. “Melatonin, sleeping pill prescriptions, and GABA [gamma-aminobutyric acid] supplements are all options for those with a great deal of difficulty sleeping, but should only be used for very short periods of time to help with episodes of stress and anxiety,” she says.
- Get chilly with it. The temperature of the room you sleep in should be on the cooler side to promote sleep. According to the Sleep Foundation, the best temperature for sleep is about 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Ditch the blue light. “Do not scroll the internet or use devices that emit blue light, as that sends a message to the brain that it is time to wake up,” advises Bartlett.
- Keep a dark, quiet, and peaceful room. Blackout curtains are a great way to reduce light exposure and help you get better shut-eye. If you must have a light, Bartlett recommends using a salt lamp or some other soft light.
- Cut back on food and drink before bed. Bartlett recommends limiting your food and liquid intake two hours before bed to “allow your body to really rest and to not have to focus on digestion.”

RAPP 7 calandria delivered22 июля 2013
The calandria for unit 7 of the Rajasthan Atomic Power Project (RAPP) was recently delivered to the construction site after a 109-day journey from Mumbai.
The 40-tonne stainless steel calandria, with a diameter of some 7.8 metres and 32mm-thick walls, was manufactured in Mumbai by M/S Godrej. The large component left the manufacturing plant on 24 March and was transported by ship to the port of Kandla in Gujarat state. It was then moved by truck to the RAPP site in neighbouring Rajasthan state, arriving on 10 July, Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) reported.
The calandria forms the reactor vessel of a pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR). Several hundred fuel channels run the length of the calandria, which will be filled with heavy water moderator.
In May 2010, Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) was awarded an INR 8880 million ($150 million) contract to undertake main plant civil works of RAPP 7 and 8. HCC has constructed all six existing units at RAPP, all PHWRs of varying sizes, the first of which began operating in 1973 and the latest in March 2010.
RAPP units 7 and 8 — both indigenously-designed 700 MWe PHWRs — are scheduled to begin commercial operation in June and December 2016, respectively. Their combined 1400 MWe capacity will be connected to the Northern Electricity Grid, with 700 MWe allocated to the state of Rajasthan.Вернуться ко всем новостям
