The Padres had completed trades for Phil Nevin twice before, only to have him veto moves that would have sent him to the Reds for Ken Griffey Jr. and to the Orioles for Sidney Ponson. The Rangers regretted signing Chan Ho Park to a five-year, $65 million contract shortly after he began pitching for them in 2002. On Saturday, both clubs finally jettisoned their unwanted players by sending them to each other.
Texas also sent cash to San Diego to help cover the difference in the salaries remaining for Nevin and Park, but reportedly will save $1 million in the deal. Nevin is making $9 million this year and $10 million in 2006 as his four-year, $34 million contract comes to an end. Park had $13 million salaries both this year and next.
Nevin, 34, is in the midst of easily his worst season since he became a big league regular in 1999, hitting .256/.301/.399 with nine homers and 47 RBIs in 73 games. He had produced for power and average since coming to San Diego six years ago, but his bat seemingly has slowed this year. Originally a third baseman, he has better reactions and arm strength than most first basemen, and he can catch in a pinch. He’s a below-average runner. The Rangers plan on DHing Nevin against lefthanders and working him into the lineup against righties in a variety of positions. He’s a career .276/.347/.479 hitter with 183 homers and 667 RBIs in 1,059 games.
Park, a 32-year-old righthander, was a disaster in Texas, going 22-23, 5.78 in 68 starts after posting a 80-54, 3.80 mark with the Dodgers. For the first time as a Ranger he didn’t spend any time on the disabled list this year, but he continued to pitch poorly, going 8-5, 5.66 in 20 starts. He had an 80-54 strikeout-walk ratio in 110 innings, while opponents battered him for a .299 average and eight homers. Park had a fastball that could reach 95 mph and a sharp curveball when he was with Los Angeles, but his stuff deteriorated into mediocrity almost as soon as he became a Ranger. Owner of a lifetime 102-77, 4.29 record, Park will enter a struggling San Diego rotation.

CBI clean chit to Shivraj Singh Chouhan; charges filed against 490
The agency plans to file charges against 12 more in a juvenile court.
The chargesheet filed in a special CBI court in Bhopal on Tuesday gives a clean chit to MP chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, whose name was dragged into the case by Digvijaya Singh.
Congress in 2015 claimed that it had obtained the original excel sheet of the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board results drawn from the hard disk of an examination collector. The excel sheet allegedly showed the chief minister having recommended several candidates.
Digvijaya Singh alleged that the document was later tampered with to replace the CM’s name with that of senior leader Uma Bharati, the ex-governor and some ministers.
In August, the Supreme Court directed the CBI to file the chargesheet in the trial court, along with the CFSL report on electronic evidence collected during investigation.
According to the CFSL report, a pen drive submitted to the Delhi high court and CBI by a person alleging tampering contained “false documents created subsequent to seizure” of the hard disk.
According to the chargesheet, the agency could not trace several accused as they had provided wrong addresses or were no longer living at the addresses given on their application forms for the tests.

The Holocaust, anti-Semitism, and why so few can lecture the Israelis
One cannot generalise, but it is a fact that there is a tendency for the loyalist-Protestant-unionist interest in Northern Ireland to side with the Jewish Israelis in the endless conflict in the Middle East.
Similarly, the republican-Catholic-nationalist interest tends to side with the largely Muslim Palestinians. At one point during the violence here, an advertising agency retained by the Northern Ireland Office actually proposed that the Government run a campaign likening the terrorism directed at unarmed civilians in Northern Ireland to the Nazi assault on the Jews between 1933 and 1945. There were obvious parallels, but the disparity in scale was so great as to drown them and the campaign was never launched.
Many will feel the Israelis are justified in seeking to quell the cross-border rocket assault by Hamas from Gaza. But what happens after the invasion? Another Iraq? Hamas has been armed from Iran and by the peddlers of Russian missiles. No doubt the conflict could be continued from Egypt if the Israelis succeed in expelling Hamas from Gaza. Wars, notoriously, are more quickly started than ended. Regarded with the coolness of the distant observer, one feels the Israelis' all-out assault, although understandable, is unwise.
For one thing, they have allowed themselves to be astutely provoked into it. By provoking Israel and then siting their rockets in populated areas — are there any other sort in crowded Gaza? — Hamas is playing the old, unscrupulous game the IRA perfected in Northern Ireland. Already, displaying the terrorists' routine indifference to the slaughter of the uninvolved, Hamas is reaping its reward, as television screens worldwide are filled with weeping women and children, shattered homes — and media reportage sharply angled in the Palestinians' favour. The Israelis' game, of course, has an element of domestic politics about it. Tzipi Livni, the new woman leader of the Kadima party, is struggling to construct a durable coalition and has decided that a general election could give her the means. Cynics see the Gaza campaign as electioneering. Livni is a former Mossad agent, militantly Zionist, whose conservative pedigree — given election success — might allow her to negotiate her way to the two-state solution she favours for the conflict. Thatcher at Hillsborough in 1985 all over again?
Meantime, the British and the Irish have little room to reproach the Jews. Some 10 years ago, one of Blair's ministers, Ian McCartney, a Scot who was to become chairman of the Labour Party, described the then Shadow Chancellor, Oliver Letwin, as Fagin. (“No Oliver Twist, this man — more of a Fagin.”) Fagin, of course, was not merely a thief and a liar, as you may recall: he was also physically revolting and a Victorian caricature. So the comparison was quite outrageous. There were suggestions afterwards that Mr McCartney was entitled to a fool's pardon because he did not know that either Mr Letwin or Fagin was Jewish. The significant fact was that there was scarcely a murmur of criticism at his offensive remark — from his own party or from its supporting media. But if Oliver Letwin had been Muslim and McCartney had likened him to Ali Baba? By George, I feel sure we should have seen the roof lift off!
As for the Irish, between the wars they did not hang about talking about what to do about the Jews fleeing from Hitler. In 1935 they passed an Aliens Act expressly to keep them out. One was Robert Briscoe's aunt. Bob, a Jew, was Lord Mayor of Dublin twice in the 1950s and 1960s and a Fianna Fail TD. His aunt was in Berlin. But in 1938 the Department of Justice refused her a visa.
She died in Auschwitz. When the terrible Belsen concentration camp near Hanover was liberated by British troops in April 1945 and the horrific pictures of its cadaverous Jewish inmates were screened in cinemas throughout Northern Ireland, they were banned by the censor from all screens in Eire. Two weeks later de Valera paid his notorious visit to the German Legation in Dublin to express his condolence on the death of Hitler. In London, the wartime coalition Government had known all about the Holocaust for years. The |decoders at Bletchley Park read the daily reports of the SS to Berlin detailing how many Jews had been murdered in the concentration lager that day. The RAF could have bombed the gas chambers at Auschwitz or the railways whose miserable cargoes fed them. The Government had the aerial photographs. But nothing was done. To those who know the history, |neither David Miliband nor Micheal Martin has much room to lecture the Israelis.


Seismic imaging produces images of contrasts in physical parameters in the subsurface, e.g., velocity or impedance. To build such images, a background model describing the wave kinematics in the earth is necessary. In practice, the structural image and background velocity model are unknown and have to be estimated from the acquired data. Migration velocity analysis deals with estimation of the background model in the framework of seismic migration and relies on two main elements: data redundancy and invariance of the structures with respect to different seismic experiments. Because all the experiments probe the same model, the reflectors must be invariant in suitable domains (e.g., shots or reflection angle); the semblance principle is the tool used to measure the invariance of a set of multiple images. We measure the similarity of the structural features between pairs of single-shot migrated images obtained from adjacent experiments. By using the estimated warping vector field between two migrated images, we construct an image perturbation which describes the difference in reflectivity observed by two shots. We derive an expression for the image perturbation that drives a migration velocity analysis procedure based on a linearization of the wave-equation with respect to the model parameters. Synthetic 2D examples show promising results in retrieving errors in the velocity model. This methodology can be directly applied to 3D.

ON SUNDAY, the rain yielded briefly and so I stepped out of my house into the muted world, softened further around the edges by a gentle grey. The hood of my raincoat protected my ears. What was already quiet became a low hum, and we trudged downward, into the hazed city and toward the farmer’s market.
Out of their shells, like snails, came other people. People in hoods with soft smiles and scowls. Muted like the day. Colours behind a tinted lens. A silent film. We all wanted something fresh and flavoursome and exotic that could transport our tastebuds and minds.
Bathurst street is where tents sagged and leaned, and people queued. Figures in uniform. I watched a woman eat congee for breakfast and I could feel her discomfort. The hair clinging to her forehead and the Velcroed edge of her sleeves against wet skin. The food was too hot and the cutlery too flimsy. The moisture in the air clung to everything. I looked away.
The usual market chatter was less distinct, and the flower ladies had sold fewer bouquets than last week. Blooms lay freshly cut. Patient. I needed potatoes. I kept my stipulated distance from the stranger in front of me, wary of the slow procession of shufflers. Then, with sudden urgency, a shrill cry pierced through the muffled day.
It was a dog. It sounded run over by a car.
For a moment I stood motionless, paralysed, and listening. So did the rest of the market. Hushed beneath the flood of wails. Time slowed. It hurt to hear the suffering of what turned out to be one creature locked in the jaws of another. Two dogs in a ferocious embrace, only broken by the kick of a man with all his force thrown into the swing.
Close by, people gathered, fearful and fascinated. The screams had stopped. I couldn’t see the dogs. I don’t know if I wanted to. Their angst had been real and painful and urgent. A man squatted on the ground and held something tight and sad against his body. The fight was over. The people withdrew again.
I bought bread. We left.
On the uphill walk home the heavens opened, and the rain came down in punishing waves. It was hard to see. I dropped my loaf in a puddle. My hands shook. Nothing would feel nicer than stepping through the front door and closing it firmly behind me.
How is it, that on days like Sunday I pray for the rain to stop and simultaneously wish that it will never end? I feel like a shirt pulled inside out. Next weekend, I’ll try again, regardless of the weather. I’m tired of looking at the world behind glass.

LG plans to introduce its first client Mini LED TVs someday subsequent month, in response to a press launch from the South Korean firm. Mini LED is a brand new variant of LCD TV tech that gives higher distinction ratios, amongst different enhancements. From a report: The brand new lineup within the US contains one 4K TV (dubbed the QNED90) and one 8K variant (referred to as the QNED99). Each can be found in three sizes: 65 inches, 75 inches, and 86 inches.
A lot of the current promoting and advertising and marketing muscle behind Mini LED TVs has come from Samsung, however that is not the one firm making them. TCL, Hisense, and others have launched Mini LED units as properly. LG calls its Mini LED expertise “QNED,” which is only a advertising and marketing time period that stands for “Quantum Nanocell Mini LED.” So far as we are able to inform, there’s nothing essentially completely different about these TVs that really requires a special acronym in comparison with Mini LEDs from different firms.

Morgan Quaintance is an artist, writer and curator. Over the past ten years, Quaintance’s critically incisive writings on contemporary art, aesthetics and their socio-political contexts have featured in publications including Art Monthly, Wire, and The Guardian, and helped shape the landscape of art discourse and debate in the UK. His moving image work has been shown and exhibited in the UK and internationally. He is the recipient of the Best Experimental Film award (Curtas Vila Do Conje, 2020), New Vision Award (CPH:DOX, 2020), and the Jean Vigo Prize for Best Director (Punto de Vista, 2021). His films are distributed by LUX Artists’ Moving Image, London. Quaintance is a Lecturer in Fine Art at Kingston School of Art.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, saying “when it comes to honestly, people of the country will not believe Congress even in the coming 100 years”.
“There was a time when newspapers were full of 2G Spectrum and corruption news all over. At the time of Congress regime there was discussion about how much has gone and now we discuss how much has come,” Modi said while speaking at a rally in Sundarnagar of Mandi district in Himachal Pradesh.
He said that the upcoming assembly elections in the hilly state were not only about forming a new government but building a grand and divine state. "This election is not only about forming a government but building a Bhavya (grand) and Divya (divine) Himachal," he opined.
The Prime Minister also said that his government will teach lesson to those who looted the country and added that people of Himachal will give stringent punishment to Congress this time.

PM Modi's Raitt rally
Prime Minster Narendra Modi today launched a blistering attack on the Congress party for its plans to burn the effigy of the PM on November 8 and said that he won't be cowed down by such acts.
"People who were habitual looters and were forced to return the money they grabbed, won't let me be at peace. They're going to celebrate 8 November as black day and burn my effigies. They don't know Modi is disciple of Sardar Patel and won't be cowed down," PM Modi said while addressing an election rally at Raitt in Kangra.
Predicting a three-fourth majority for the BJP in the upcoming elections, the prime minister said that the Congress will not be visible in the state in coming years.
He also alleged that Congress leaders have already left the battlefield in Himachal leaving everything to fate.
"No senior Congress leader came here to campaign. They have already left the field, leaving everything on fate. I have heard that Congress has lost the trust of it's own leaders and is looking for rebels in other parties," he added.

Panaji: Manguirish Pai Raikar, Chairman, National Council for MSME of ASSOCHAM said that
MSME’s will be required to rework their financial requirements and would need restructuring and hence, financial institutions will have to play a big role here.
Raikar said “there has to be a strategic planning and proper management for MSMEs when the lockdown is lifted.”
We are passing through a very critical phase of our life fighting an invisible and invincible enemy which has given us this pandemic.
Now the question arises how small businesses will come out of this. Most of them have their money locked with their existing business deals, which looks to be a distant dream currently as everyone is strapped of cash. While businesses are closed but they have to pay interest to the banks, pay for salaries, ESIC contribution, routine government revenues like GST, TDS, etc, electricity and water bills, telecom services besides a host of payments to be made to others including suppliers. Although the EMI payments have been deferred, the liability remains and the interest continues. The future looks gloomy. The businesses are seeking answers from creditors as to when they would get the money, whether goods manufactured as per the order would be lifted etc. It is an endless story of hardship faced by small businesses currently.
There has to be a strategic planning and proper management when the lockdown is lifted. It will not be an easy task for entrepreneurs because things to fall in place will take their own time. Items of daily need would be immediately required but the main factor would remain capital. Any shortage at this stage will kill the business. It is anticipated that nearly one-third of small businesses in India would be unviable and would have to be closed. Unemployment would definitely be the outcome of this.
One suggestion made to the government earlier was to launch a ‘Stabilisation Fund’ through which money should be made available to the entrepreneurs over and above their regular borrowings without collaterals or guarantees. Businesses will be required to rework their financial requirements and would need restructuring. Hence, financial institutions will have to play a big role here and will have to work with an open mind. Moreover, the government will have to release the due payments of small businesses immediately while ensuring the same from large industries, PSUs. This would make small businesses to get back to their daily routine far easy. Small businesses’ needs are limited, their manpower is also within their ambit and they are far more resilient than large businesses. On the other hand, the government would have to cut red-tapism and control corruption at the lower level.

New technique provides an inside look at virus evolution
SF State-led study could aid vaccine design
For some, the word “mutation” might conjure up images of twisted monsters from 1950s science fiction movies. But in the real world, mutations underlie all evolution — and for the viruses that infect us, they're key to evading our drugs and bodily defenses. Now a study led by San Francisco State University Assistant Professor of Biology Pleuni Pennings identifies a pioneering method for tracking the success of virus mutations within the human body. The technique could lead to insights into many different viruses, including the ones used in some vaccines.
“It’s cool because this is a technique we can now use for other viruses and other situations,” said Pennings.
Knowing how viruses mutate is crucial to understanding what makes them so dangerous. In the course of reproduction, the HIV virus makes lots of “mistakes,” making slightly imperfect copies of itself. Usually these mutations are harmful or don’t matter at all. But every once in a while they make the virus better at dealing with new challenges, such as anti-viral drugs. When scientists have tracked these mutations in viruses within the human body, however, they’ve only looked at a small amount at a time.
Pennings noticed this omission and, together with collaborators at Tel Aviv University, Stanford University and the Rega Institute for Medical Research, decided to dig into a dataset that was published in 2000. The researchers from that study took blood samples from 160 patients on anti-HIV drugs and recorded sections of HIV genetic material in each sample. Looking at how common different mutations were in these sections, Pennings and her collaborators were able to determine which mutations were most harmful for the virus.
Some unexpected results emerged. For instance, viruses featuring a certain piece of genetic code, called a CpG site, fared very poorly. That discovery fits with emerging evidence suggesting that these CpG sites might be targeted by the human immune system, explains Pennings. “We think it can be used as a recognition tool,” she said. “Whatever has a CpG site is just going to get kicked out of the cell.”
It was also notable that the analysis worked at all. By comparing the results against patterns biologists have known about for a long time, Pennings and her collaborators were able to confirm that the results they were seeing were real. They published their findings on June 28 in PLoS Genetics.
“We show that we can estimate the costs of mutations for the virus as they occur in the patient — in the environment where it matters — as opposed to in the lab,” Pennings said.
The results likely won’t be too useful in treating HIV, which can now be controlled by very effective drug cocktails. It may, however, have applications for those who create vaccines for other viruses. Vaccines sometimes consist of a weakened version of a virus, meant to jump-start our immune system without causing harm. But occasionally, such as in the case of a well-publicized polio outbreak in Haiti in 2000, the weakened virus evolves in peoples’ bodies to once again cause illness. With these new tools for watching how viruses mutate, scientists might be able to better understand and predict events when vaccines backfire.
Just as importantly, the method will help scientists understand more generally the parts of a virus that are most crucial to its success. In fact, the team is already using the technique to look at Hepatitis C.

Art of War Takes On GANTZ
New 1:5 Scale Kei Kurono Statue...
Art of War, best known for their range of Berserk collectibles, is branching out with a new property: Gantz. Gantz is a Japanese manga series that tells the story of Kei Kurono and his friend Masaru Kato who die in a train accident and become part of a semi-posthumous "game" in which they and several other recently deceased people are forced to hunt down and kill aliens armed with a handful of futuristic items, equipment, and weaponry. Gantz has been adapted into an anime series, video game, as well as two live-action movies.
Art of War will be producing a 1:5th scale statue (approximately 27 inches tall) of the main protagonist, Kei Kurono, based on Gantz Episode 326. In this episode, Kurono is trying hard to save other people. He faces the giant soldier and cuts off part of its head with his long sword. Under the supervision of the Gantz creator - Hiroya Oku - this figure is as close as it gets to the real Kurono.
The 1:5 Gantz Kei Kurono Statue is available for pre-order directly through Art of War at art-of-war.co.jp/english priced at approximately $502.00 US (50,000 Yen). It is limited to 50 pieces, the nameplate on each statue numbered. The Kurono statue is slated to ship in June/ July 2013.

Anger as Union flag not flown on Sheffield war memorial for D-Day
Sheffield City Council has faced criticism – for not flying a Union flag on the city’s war memorial to mark D-Day.
The Barker’s Pool memorial flagpole has been empty throughout the day – while nationwide commemorations are being held to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day.
The massive invasion of Allied troops on the beaches of Northern France on June 6, 1944 was a vital turning point in World War Two, leading ultimately to the defeat of Nazi Germany.
Police probe launched after man armed with knife demands car keys from driver filling up at Sheffield petrol station
Car salesman must pay out over £13,000 after he sold a dangerous vehicle to a Sheffield customer
Sheffield United fans raise concerns about 'aggressive' Bramall Lane stewards as club investigates 'inappropriate behaviour'
Flockton Park Sheffield: Park taped off by police as officers carry out search
These are the most annoying things you can say to somebody from Sheffield - don't mention John Lewis
But while the Town Hall has been flying a Union flag today, the memorial in Barker’s Pool is empty – and the decision has met with angry critcism.
Peter Hulbert wrote on Twitter: “I have just written a letter of complaint to the Sheffield City Council to point out that our cenotaph is not flying the flag on this great day.
“I sent the complaint and received a reply saying ‘thank you for your valued input to which we will duly attempt to respond within 28 working days"
“F*** off you disrespectful morons.”
Another asked: “Can someone please ask Sheffield City Council why there is no flag flying on The Cenotaph today?”
A Twitter user called Deano? wrote: @SheffCouncil can you please explain why no Union Jack flag has been raised on the 75th anniversary of #DDay #DDay75thAnniversary #sheffield #Disgraceful.”
And another, ‘lindsy s-roper’? posted: “Sheffield city council, you should be ashamed of yourselves no flag flying #75yearsgonebutnotforgotten.”
Another posted: “Just wondering why Sheffield isn’t flying the union flag today.”
Earlier this year, the council was forced to apologise for flying the Welsh flag above the Town Hall on St Patrick’s Day – the patron saint day or Ireland.
We have contacted Sheffield City Council for comment.

A search for new mechanisms to inhibit plasmid conjugation

AuthorGetino Redondo, María
Infections due to antibiotic-resistant (AbR) bacteria are a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. In addition, the number of new antibiotics being developed has plummeted. Although resistance genes can disseminate by any horizontal gene transfer mechanism, the vast majority of reports of bacterial gene transfer in the environment involve conjugation. Our group developed a method for high-throughput analysis of conjugation. This method was used to check for host genes in the recipient cell involved in conjugation, concluding that lab strains of Escherichia coli like DH5[alfa] have no non-essential genes that play an essential role in conjugation. In recipient cells, conjugation can be inhibited by different mechanisms: restriction systems, CRISPRs, entry exclusion systems or incompatibility, among others. Our aim is to screen a set of natural plasmids to look for conjugation broad-range inhibitor genes in enterobacterial plasmids, in order to hopefully identify new mechanisms of inhibition that could be used to control AbR propagation.

Not super familiar with mushrooms in america, but that looks alot like what we call "egg-mushrooms" here in sweden. It's closely related to the "puffball", as you call it. It should be edible, although not super tasty, but do not take my word for it! Never eat anything without a 100% ID!

Not since Anthony Bourdain's Detroit visit has the local media been so single-mindedly excited about something culinary. The news that HopCat, one of "the world's best beer bars" is coming to Detroit, that they're taking over the Agave Building in Midtown, and that they're planning to open in August has inspired at least one article by nearly every major local news source.
Here is a roundup of (almost) all of the stories so far, with links for the beer enthusiast's clicking pleasure:
Curbed Detroit: "HopCat Chooses Midtown, Scores the Old Agave Building". They posted renderings yesterday, along with many current pictures of the Agave space. Curbed notes that the press release doesn't mention an August opening, opting for a more general "2014" instead.
The Detroit News: "Grand Rapids-based brewery HopCat to open Detroit bar in August". The article notes that the Detroit location, like the one in Lansing, will be a bar only and not a brewery. They also mention that it's expected to create over 100 new jobs.
WXYZ: "HopCat pub to bring 100 jobs, 130 taps and new life into historic Midtown Detroit building". They stick to the press release facts, but do offer that HopCat will "bring new life" to the long vacant building (it's been empty since 2006).
The Detroit Free Press: "Tom Walsh: HopCat to open state's largest craft beer bar in Midtown". The Freep says that Mark Sellers is another Dan Gilbert, and they give background on the entrepreneur, who dabbled a little in a lot of things before finding gold with HopCat in Grand Rapids. The article also mentions that lots of prep-work has been done to help speed the opening process along when it comes to zoning, taxes, and the like.
Hell Yeah Detroit: "The $3.3 Million Hopcat That's Coming To Midtown Detroit By The Numbers". Looking for the stats to impress friends and family? This is that post.
Metro Times: "The Largest Craft Beer Bar in Michigan Is Slated to Open in Detroit This Summer". It's short, sweet, and written post "Agave Building" reveal, but they do note Mark Seller's plans to expand into other Midwestern cities (look out Ann Arbor, Chicago, and Indianapolis).
Crains Detroit: "'Best bar in America' is coming to Midtown". Again, it's press release stuff, with the addition of McIntosh Poris Associates in Birmingham being named project architect and Grand Rapids' Wolverine Construction named general contractor, for those who follow these things.
CBS Detroit: "Largest Craft Beer Venture Ever Coming To Detroit — Meet HopCat!". What is HopCat according to CBS? It's "hip" young Metro Detroiter bait, AKA "craft beer and outdoor summertime fun".
Deadline Detroit: "Detroit Next Home Of Award-Winning HopCat Brewery -- With 130 Beers On Tap". Trust Deadline to spice things up with something totally crazy-an analysis of HopCat's dog policy. Apparently they allow dogs (and cats for equality's sake) on the patio within reason, no word yet on whether or not dogs will be welcome in Detroit.
MLive: "Popular craft beer bar HopCat announces Detroit location". Apparently Sellers has been making loads of money through HopCat and his other ventures, with the numbers in the MLive article adding up to a combined $28 million in annual sales.
Detroit YES!: "HopCat Bar opening in Detroit; will be biggest location yet". It's not a media frenzy without the Detroit lovers/haters/concern trolls/vocal folks over at Detroit YES! weighing in, but go down this rabbit hole at your own risk.

SAN JOSE (KRON) — Two of the six suspects who have been arrested in connection with last week’s stabbing death of a security manager at a downtown San Jose nightclub were arraigned Wednesday afternoon.
The victim was a San Jose little league coach. Frank Navarro was killed on Feb. 26 during a confrontation outside of Tres Gringos Cabo Cantina, where he was working as head of security.
San Jose residents Santos Trevino, 21, and his brother Joseph Esquivel, 27, appeared in a San Jose courtroom to be charged with murder.
They are each being held on $2 million bail.
On Friday, police obtained a warrant for the arrest of San Jose resident Andrew Cervantes, 20, who was booked into jail on Tuesday. Cervantes turned himself in.
Cervantes will be arraigned on murder charges Thursday afternoon. He is being held without bail.
Two other alleged participants in the murder are being formally charged with murder Wednesday afternoon after their arrests late last week.

San Jose residents Trevino and Esquivel, 27 are being held without bail.
The two are expected to enter a plea on March 21, along with their 25-year-old sister Percella Esquivel, who was arraigned on the same murder charge on Tuesday, and their cousins Aaron Vallejo, 24, and Robert Ruiz, 32, who were arraigned on March 1.
Police believe Trevino stabbed 35-year-old Navarro when he tried to break up a fight around midnight on the morning of Feb. 26, but all five defendants have been charged with murder for their involvement, according to Deputy District Attorney Lance Daugherty.
Ruiz, who allegedly led officers on a 7-mile high-speed chase to Boynton Avenue and Kiely Boulevard, was also charged with felony evasion.
According to a statement of facts by San Jose police Sgt. John Barg, which was sealed until the court granted Daugherty’s motion to unseal it Wednesday, Navarro was stabbed at last three times in the torso and once in the neck.
According to Barg, Joseph and Percella Esquivel tried to enter Tres Gringos Cabo Cantina at 82 S. Second St.
After Percella Esquivel showed a valid ID card, her brother showed an ID that turned out to belong to Trevino.
Joseph Esquivel also has a prominent tattoo over his eyebrow, which would have denied him entry under the club’s dress code, Daugherty said outside the courthouse Wednesday.
The doorman confiscated Trevino’s ID and did not allow Joseph Esquivel to enter the club.
Barg said that Percella Esquivel threatened to harm the doorman if he did not give Trevino’s ID back, and then allegedly used her cellphone to summon her friends before threatening the doorman again.
Shortly after, a red Buick parked illegally along the light-rail tracks nearby and four people, including Trevino, got out.
The group started to threaten the doorman and Trevino tried to grab his ID from the doorman’s pockets, Barg said.
When the doorman pushed Trevino’s hand away, Trevino and Joseph Esquivel started to assault him. Navarro responded to assist, at which time Trevino stabbed him.
Navarro was president of East San Jose’s Eastridge Little League and also coached baseball and football at Overfelt High School, according to social media posts.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help pay for his funeral.

No Females in Heat
Tara did an awesome job taking care of my dog for a week over the holidays! My dog seemed like she had had the best time and didn't want to leave. She even came back with a new trick. I would highly recommend Tara. She's trustworthy and great with dogs!
Very helpful with a difficult arrangement! Thank you!
She has 2 dogs of her own and is always very friendly and on time when it comes to the dogs having to go to the bathroom. She also fits time in to play with the dogs vs. just letting them out and then leaving
Your dog will make new friends!
I used to own my own pet sitting business, but amnow back in the business world. I still love taking care of dogs. I work flexible hours and can easily let the dogs outside and take them for walks. I am free most weekends with lots of time to spend with any guest pets in my home! I have two dogs of my own who are extremely friendly and will make friends with your dog ...

Kent Griswold doesn’t live in a tiny house, but he’s become a very well known tiny house geek. Five years ago (May 2007) he launched the Tiny House Blog and it’s now the most popular of its kind, but it all began with a lifelong love of cabins.
“I’ve always wanted a cabin in the mountains from the time I was young, I think we experienced it a few times growing up. Just a basic, simple cabin, nothing luxurious or fancy like people build these days and once the Internet came out I started bookmarking different builders that I liked… and during that time I kept finding more and more about tiny houses and I was bookmarking them too and about that same time I started learning about blogging.”
Post WWII: growing American homes
At first he had a few hundred people visiting his site every day, so he decided to take it seriously and in the past five years it’s grown to about 10,000 to 15,000 unique visitors a day. Kent admits his timing was fortuitous.
“I think it’s more of a trend of people realizing they don’t need as much as we’ve been taught. Ever since WWII we’ve been on this, at least here in the US, bigger is better, we started the credit society, the mortgage thing and we kind of grew our economy off of that.
Well as we’ve seen in the past couple years, things change and I think the economy going bad now people are realizing, hey, I lost my home, I’d still like to have my home, but maybe I can get something I can pay for in a short period of time or even up front and get rid of all of those things I don’t really need. I see it more as a downsizing trend, getting down to what you really need instead of all the extra stuff you really don’t need.”
Tiny homes explode online
Now there are other similar blogs to his like the Tiny House Design, Tiny House Talk, Tiny House Listings, The Tiny Life, This Tiny House and Shedworking. There are popular builders like Jay Shafer of Tumbleweed Tiny House Company and Brad Kittel of Tiny Texas Houses. There’s even a Small House Society which helps promote the small house movement.
Kent’s home county of Sonoma (California) is one hub for the movement (as seen in the first act of our documentary “We the Tiny House People”). And every so often some of them- Jay Shafer, Stephen Marshall (Little House on the Trailer), Michael Janzen (Tiny House Design) and Kent- gather for a “Meeting of the Tiny Minds”. While there may be something new in the way tiny house information is being spread online, Kent is clear that small shelters have always been a viable option.
From Plymouth to the hippies: freedom in wee shelters
“This was going before I discovered it. And actually it’s been going many more years than that. That’s how we lived when people first came to America, very small, I’ve been to Plymouth. They were thatched roofed homes and small, one room.
I know back in the hippy era when I was a teenager, people were building these homes on wheels. It was a tiny house movement there too that people were owning their homes, they were able to move them where they wanted to and it created a freer society.”
The tiny house fantasy
When Kent first started blogging he had trouble finding enough content for his site. Now he has a couple years worth of great stories (mostly flagged in his gmail account) and he sees more and more people actually building, or hiring someone to build, their own tiny homes. Though he makes it clear that the majority of his readers are “dreamers”.
“The people who are regulars to my blog are people who are it’s a dream, it’s a lifestyle they want to attain, but whether they actually step forward and do it. It will at least help us realize we don’t need as much as we thought we did to be happy.”
There’s a huge percentage of people who read the blog just dreaming this lifestyle whether it will actually happen in their lives, but they’d like to see it or at least build something in their backyard that kind of replicates it. I know personally I still don’t live that. It’s my goal to downsize to the small home, it won’t be the tiny. My wife will not climb up into a loft to go to bed.


parser: limit the number of passes expr tree simplification does
Expr tree simplification makes multiple passes at simplifying the expression tree trying to use fatoring rules and heuristics to achieve the minimum tree, so that dfa construction has fewer nodes to deal with.
Unfortunately expr tree simplification can slow some policy compiles, dependent on the type of expressions generated, down, and even worse is currently subject to never terminating on some expressions as the left and right passes keep undoing each others work.
Limiting the number of passes that expr tree simplification does can provide most of its benefits (later passes generally have diminishing returns), reduces the overhead it has on simple policy where it is of little benefit, and insures that simplifications can not get stuck in an infinite loop due to the left and right passes ping-ponging on each others factoring.
Note: This also results in a performance improvement in evince compiles, and general policy compiles because it achieves a better balance between time spent on simplifying the tree to remove nodes and time the dfa build requires to build with extra nodes and then eliminate with minimization.

As the #MeToo moment sweeps through American life, deposing prominent journalists, film stars, Hollywood producers, celebrity chefs, and members of Congress, it’s getting harder to look away from the elephant in the Oval Office: Donald Trump.
While Trump’s misconduct in this regard is often shorthanded with references to the infamous Access Hollywood tape in which he was recorded telling a casual acquaintance that he likes to grope women, the actual charges against him are far more serious than crude talk. More than a dozen women have told stories of Trump reaching up skirts, grabbing breasts and butts, kissing women who were attempting to have professional interactions with him, and peeking in on beauty pageant contestants — often teenagers — while they were in various states of undress.
Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) have all called for Trump to step down in the wake of Al Franken’s resignation from the United States Senate. Obviously, that’s not going to happen. And it’s equally obvious that Congress isn’t going to move forward with impeachment proceedings either.
But that doesn’t mean Congress can’t — or shouldn’t — do anything. These are very serious allegations that have been made against Trump. And Trump has made the equally serious countercharge that he is the victim of a vast conspiracy of lies aimed at bringing him down. Whichever story is true, it’s a huge deal. And rather than leaving it as a mystery, Congress ought to use its considerable investigative powers to try to get to the bottom of it.
Congressional hearings could advance the story considerably
Just a few weeks before Election Day 2016, Trump was threatening to sue his accusers for libel.
Nobody in the legal world ever took that threat very seriously, but it served an important political purpose. Millions of Americans with deeply rooted attachments to conservative politics would never think of themselves as the kind of people who would vote for a man who sits down for an interview with a reporter assigned to do a profile on the first-year anniversary of his marriage, pins the reporter against a wall, kisses her and sticks his tongue into her mouth when the kiss was unreciprocated, and then says, “We’re going to have an affair.”
What those people needed to cast their customary vote for the Republican Party presidential nominee was a psychological respite. The Trump campaign delivered part of that by reminding the public of Bill Clinton’s sins, in order to make liberal pleas for conservatives to abandon their candidate seem phony. And they delivered the other part with the libel threat — maybe the women were lying.
Maybe Natasha Stoynoff was just making up that story about what happened with her Trump profile. Maybe Kristin Anderson was lying when she said Trump reached up her skirt and touched her through her underwear at a nightclub. And maybe Jessica Leeds was lying when she described a similar series of events on an airplane. Maybe Mindy McGillivray and Ninni Laaksonen were both lying about butt-grabbing incidents.
Maybe. After all, Trump said it was all lies and he would prove that in court after the election.
Of course, in reality Trump hasn’t sued anyone, because he knows perfectly well that he can’t prove they were lying. And the simplest, most basic way a congressional inquiry could advance the story would be by inviting the 16 women who made charges against Trump during the campaign to tell their stories on the record, under oath. Sworn testimony of that sort won’t prove a case in criminal court, but it certainly counts as an important form of evidence, and neither Congress nor the public needs to hold itself to that high standard. And beyond victim testimony, Congress’s investigative powers could accomplish many things that journalism alone cannot.
Congress can compel informative testimony
In appearances on Howard Stern’s radio show, Trump has openly bragged that one of the benefits of owning a set of beauty pageants was his ability to go strolling through dressing rooms to check out naked models.
An October 12 BuzzFeed report by Kendall Taggart, Jessica Garrison, and Jessica Testa indicates that this habit extended to the Miss Teen USA pageant, which featured contestants between the ages of 15 and 19. The reporters were not, however, able to get every contestant who was there to speak to them. Nor do they appear have succeeded in getting other people who worked for Trump at the pageant to talk. That’s not surprising in light of the stringent nondisclosure agreements that Trump routinely imposes on his staff.
Unlike journalists, congressional committees can issue subpoenas and compel people to talk.
Perhaps more importantly, Congress is uniquely situated to clarify the potential illegality of NDAs that purport to prevent current and former employees from discussing misconduct, and to alter federal law, if necessary, to allow people who’ve worked for Trump in the past to answer questions honestly.
And of course a proper investigation would give Trump a chance to clear his name in a way that dueling media accounts never can.
An investigation could even exonerate Trump
Congressional Republicans have largely been silent on the question of Trump’s sexual abuse. Back when the campaign was in full bloom and nearly everyone expected Trump to lose the election, well over a dozen Republican members of Congress said they wouldn’t vote for him in an effort to boost their own political fortunes. But then Trump unexpectedly won, and Republican members of Congress set about assiduously avoiding any form of meaningful executive branch oversight.
If Trump is, in fact, innocent and the accusers are, in fact, lying, congressional Republicans’ attitude toward this matter is doing the president a great disservice.
Perhaps Trump accusers who’ve been happy to smear him in the press would shy away from repeating their allegations under oath.
In an official statement released Monday, the White House vaguely alleged that the charges against Trump are “totally disputed in most cases by eyewitness accounts.” Nobody in the White House has produced eyewitnesses to dispute these claims over the course of the past 13 months, and today’s statement did not name any eyewitnesses or say exactly which cases they disputed. But if it’s true that there are eyewitnesses who can clear Trump’s name, then they too deserve to be heard on the record and under oath so he can get out from under this cloud.
Of course, if Trump is lying about the eyewitnesses, then a proper investigation would expose that and further bolster the case that the reason he dropped his libel threats is that he’s guilty. Either way, there’s simply no need for Congress to continue acting as if there’s nothing to do here except throw up our hands in indecision. Allegations of sexual harassment against members of Congress have prompted calls for Ethics Committee investigations, and in the past, oversight of the executive branch has been considered a core function of the legislative branch.
Either it’s true that Trump, as he told Billy Bush, likes to “just start kissing them,” because “when you’re a star, they let you do it,” so you can just “grab ’em by the pussy” — or else the dozen or so women who say that Trump did exactly what he told Bush he does are lying. Congress should try to figure out which it is.

- Price stability. The inflation rate should be no more than 1.5 percentage points above the rate for the three EU countries with the lowest inflation over the previous year;
- Budget deficit. This must generally be below 3% of gross domestic product (GDP);
- Government debt. The national debt should not exceed 60% of GDP, but a country with a higher level of debt can still adopt the euro provided its debt level are falling steadily;
- Exchange rate. The national currency's exchange rate should have stayed within certain pre-set margins of fluctuation for two years (no re- or devaluation of currency);
- Interest rates. The long-term rate should be no more than two percentage points above the rate in the three EU countries with the lowest inflation over the previous year;
So far the criteria have been important for countries willing to adopt euro since it's a precondition for joining (this statement is conditional itself as seen from history). For joining countries it is a good motivational exercise to get their finances in order. Once already in the eurozone motivation quickly disappears.
So how should we deal with that? Shall we fine the countries that are not capable of cut their spending (read: living within their means)? That's like asking for money from a beggar so it probably wouldn't work. There are still couple of things that could be tried.
Make it political! The main reason for not cutting spending or increasing spending for politicians is the support of their voters. Political promises can often lead to overspending so there is motivation for politicians to spend more than possible. So why couldn't it be possible to force the government step down if two out of five criteria are broken for example?
Another idea is to keep away the cookies. Today a lot of countries are receiving structural funds and richer countries are participating in other mechanisms like Framework Programme. Would it make sense to cut funding for countries that aren't fulfilling their duties? Since all of the EU countries aren't in the eurozone it would be impossible, but approach as such would serve its course (as can be seen in Greece today).
I would prefer stabilizing the eurozone with political measures which reduces populism, the mother of all wrongdoings. We should remove the motivation to behave badly, fines and nagging doesn't work here!

Massive, Multi-Genre Film Made in Montana to Debut at The Wilma
This Saturday, March 11th (2023) The Wilma in Missoula is hosting a genre-bending action adventure film made in Montana by Montanans. It's called Saving For The Day, here's the event page and you can check out the trailer below:
No exaggeration, I loved watching that trailer. Missoulians will be able to spot many familiar places in just the preview, let alone the whole movie. Yellowstone fans know how fun it is to watch something with shots filmed in here, and this film has the added bonus of being made by locals. Over 400 Montanans were involved in the making of this movie over the last 12 years, according to Saving For The Day's director, John D. Nilles.
"My love for Missoula inspired me," said John. "I'm from Western Montana and grew up in the Bitterroot and I moved an hour north to Missoula and I fell in love with the city and the people and the culture here. It's a major part of the back drop for Saving For The Day."
The visuals of our beautiful Montana scenery really drew me in, but I was also intrigued by the movie's synopsis:
Joe Bell is a penny-pinching hermit saving for the day when his real life will begin. One day he’s given a chest filled with treasure by a cryptic, old man. After the Old-timer “accidentally” locks the chest, Joe must go on a series of adventures to track down the key. Each adventure is a different genre. There are over 12 different genres.
Joe’s quest leads him to a determined & quirky baseball bat-wielding archeologist named Abbey. She wears the key on a necklace unaware of its value to Joe. He falls for her and begins pursuing her for both love and money. Ultimately, Joe must decide between the two. -Saving For The Day's Event Page
Saving For The Day is produced by Shoot Montana, which produces films, digital content, podcasts and more. Here's a link for their website.

Simon Cowell — the tart-tongued British music executive who debuted the cultural phenomenon known as American Idol in 2002 — has announced that he is leaving the hit Fox show when his contract ends after the 2010 season.
He will judge and produce an American version of his British hit music show, The X Factor, on Fox in Fall 2011.
"Because of that this will be my last season on American Idol," he announced Monday at Fox's Winter Television Critics' Association press event at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, Calif.
"I felt like doing something different," he explained. "I want to leave Idol this year bigger and better than it's been before."
As for rumors that former Idol judge Paula Abdul could serve as a judge on The X Factor, he said: "I adore Paula. Whatever happens with her, I will be working with her in some capacity because I miss her."
Rumors of Cowell, 50, exiting have been floating for weeks.
Late last year, his brother Tony said on his weekly podcast The Cowell Factor that "a press statement is being prepared which will confirm what everybody expected: Simon will leave Idol at the end of 2010 to concentrate on bringing the American version of The X Factor to U.S. TV in 2011."
Cowell was mum when new judge Ellen DeGeneres asked about his rumored departure in a recent Entertainment Weekly interview. "If Simon goes, I go!" she said. Cowell laughed and squirmed when she said that before adding: "Oh, Ellen! … That’s quite a tricky situation you've put me into! I think right now we have to concentrate on the next season and just get through that and worry about everything else afterwards."
Last September, it was announced that DeGeneres would take a permanent seat on the judging panel after Abdul quit. The show's host Ryan Seacrest also renewed his contract for the next three seasons. Last season's new addition, Kara DioGuardi and Randy Jackson are under contract until the end of the current season.
Last year, Cowell was the top earning man on prime-time U.S. Television, according to Forbes, earning an $75 million last year.
