NEW YORK, Oct 10 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures fell on Friday, with the decline particularly pronounced in the tech-heavy Nasdaq index, which was weighed by weakness in chipmakers.
The drop in the group comes a day after Microchip Technology Inc warned on sales, saying an industry correction had begun and more bad news could be on the way from other chipmakers.
The stock lost 11 percent to $40.65 in heavy premarket trading and weighed on other names in the group. Intel Corp fell 2.4 percent to $32.80 while Micron Technology was off 2.3 percent at $29.92. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index is down 3.2 percent so far this week, on track for its third straight weekly loss.
In other tech news, Juniper Networks Inc fell 6.4 percent to $19.59 before the bell a day after it also issued a sales warning.

Mavericks will defend their title against Team Bath in the Co-operative Netball Grand Final on Saturday 4th April after playing in the match of the season at Loughborough. It went to extra-time, in the end was decided by just the one goal and when the final whistle blew there was disbelief and delight in equal measure. You can watch the game in full on Thursday at 1730 on Sky Sports 3 but if you can't wait til then let me take you through the match.
As is often the case in the opening skirmishes of a game the players are trying to suss each other out. In Loughborough's circle young Alex Kirk settled in very well as Jo Harten was given a hard time by Mavericks keeper Naida Hutchinson. It was the start of a pattern repeated throughout the match as Hutchinson played a blinder. Lightning's shooter must have felt like she was playing against Mr Tickle as when the ball seemed to be safely in her possession somehow Hutchinson's hand was there to take it away. Both teams were very tight in defence throughout the match and coaches watching the replay will see performances of the very highest quality.
In the second quarter Mavericks stepped up the pace which upped the pressure on their hosts who had been taking a thoughtful approach to the game. Physically there was more contact in the second 15 minutes, plenty of jostling for position and possession, with so much at stake it's not surprising that every ball was contested in front of an increasingly excited crowd. The visitors were able to pull ahead largely because their defence were on fire, the turnovers were netted and at half-time it looked like Mavericks were going to pull away.
Whatever Olivia Murphy said to Loughborough at half-time found its mark. Supporters really began getting behind the sides in the third quarter, Mavericks had plenty of back-up travelling with them but it was Lightning's purple-wigged, face-painted fans who were roaring as the match changed direction again in the second half. Their player-coach was always in the right place at the right time and having been 4-goals behind at the whistle they moved level and then ahead for the first time in the match with 3 and a half minutes to go. The momentum had moved in favour of the home side with 15 minutes on the clock.
Loughborough came out on a mission at the start of the last quarter and with less than nine minutes on the clock it looked like they had done enough. They led Mavericks 39-30, surely that was game over a nine-goal lead must be enough to send them to Coventry! Mavericks didn't think so. The atmosphere in the arena was unbelievable hundreds of fans bellowing, stamping, cheering and clapping even for an impartial viewer the tension was palpable I was getting nervous and I don't know why. Goal-by-goal Mavericks hauled their way back into the game, Jo Harten was given no respite by Naida Hutchinson, the ball just wouldn't drop through the hoop for Lightning; Mavericks saw their shots barely touch the side. The semi-final was taken into extra time when the ball left Louisa Brownfield's hands to level just as the whistle marked the end of an hours play.
It was a superb comeback and Loughborough looked stunned but rallied themselves for the extra 7 minutes each-way. You didn't know which way to look, the old cliche of "end-to-end" netball was true, there was nothing to separate the sides and as the toll of 60 minutes of all-out effort began to take its toll it became increasingly painful to watch. Lightning centre Jade Clarke showed how hard the players were pushing, crippled by cramp she fought hard to continue but had to be subsituted and had to be helped off court. Mavericks edged ahead and the whistle blew, and the celebrations started, but it wasn't over. A timing error meant there was still half a minute to play the players came back on court and Loughborough tried to level but when the FINAL final whistle went they were one behind. There were tears and cheers.
Loughborough Lightning's Jade Clarke was devastated after the game "I'm sure it was good match for the specators, I'm just heartbroken really. It just felt so good to have that run in the last quarter but no excuses we let it slip and we did the same in the final last year. It's just not acceptable." The captain also revealed that shooter Jo Harten had been at something of a disadvantage in the match, "Jo broke her thumb on Wednesday on her shooting hand, we're so proud of the way she played through the pain."
Mavericks coach Kendra Slawinski "The players did Mavericks proud this evening, they deserve all the credit, they deservea all the accolades and I'm thoroughly delighted for our athletes. Both teams had opportunities and I'm just glad at the end of the day that we took ours and managed the one goal that proved crucial."
So the Grand Final on Saturday 4th April will be contested by Team Bath and reigning champions Mavericks at 1930 at Coventry Skydome. Tickets are on sale now.

Indeed, we did stay in San Jose Del Cabo. We needed to gather packing supplies for the bikes, and wanted to look around more. The weather forecast, however, was not great. At around 10:00, I knocked on Tom and Sarah's door to see if they were ready to go on the hunt for packing supplies, as it wasn't raining yet. Brent was out talking to a couple we met yesterday. They offered to take us to Walmart, and drop us off on their way out of town.
Walmart didn't really have what we were looking for, so we went across the street to Fed Ex, and a mailbox store. Neither had what we were looking for. We decided to take a bus to Costco. We got on the first bus that came by that was going by Costco. It cost 32 pesos. Soon we were racing along Mex 1 toward Cabo San Lucas, and I mean racing! The bus was flying at a tremendous speed. The windows were open, and the blue curtains were flapping. Then we pulled off the highway, and the driver pulled over. He got out, and opened up the hood. Uh oh, that's not good. But, he got back on, and we took off. Pretty soon we could smell something, and the engine was smoking. Again, the driver pulled over and opened up the hood. At this point, we were stopped in front of a Home Depot. Perfect! We got off and went to Home Depot. We found exactly what we were looking for (a big roll of shrink wrap, and packing tape). When we came back out, the bus was still sitting there. We played Frogger (1990's video game) to get across the highway so we could catch another bus back. A much nicer bus pulled up (cost 37 pesos this time), and we rode back to town. As we were walking back to our hotel, we saw some discarded cardboard. We gathered it up, and kept walking.
We dropped our supplies back at the hotel, and headed to Baja Brewing for some lunch (and beer for those who like it). On the way, it started to rain. The pub wasn't too far, so we didn't get too wet. The place was packed, but we finally got a table indoors. I had a great pulled pork sandwich, and homemade root beer. Then it really started to pour down rain, and the wind was blowing too. We just sat in the pub for a bit longer. When it eased up we went out, and decided to go peruse the shops. Because we must have dessert after every meal, we opted for the OXXO station (like 7-11, only more prevalent). Then the rain came down in buckets! We made a run for the hotel the moment the rain let up.
For dinner, we went to a place the couple had recommended. It's called, in English, The Hangman. The food was good. Sarah finally got to eat a lingua taco (tongue). I don't think she was impressed. Two other riders, Liza and Tyson, joined us. A guitar player came and played for us. It was fun, and the food was good.
On our way back to the hotel, Tom and I went for churros one more time. They weren't as fresh as last night, but still good.
Once again, I seem unable to add photos. That's okay, though, I didn't take many today anyway.
I feel like this was our last night in Mexico, even though we still have one more night. Tomorrow is going to be a lot of hard work getting the bikes packed, and ready to go.

Background:Dog-bites and rabies are under-reported in developing countries such as Pakistan and there is a poor understanding of the disease burden. We prospectively collected data utilizing mobile phones for dog-bite and rabies surveillance across nine emergency rooms (ER) in Pakistan, recording patient health-seeking behaviors, access to care and analyzed spatial distribution of cases from Karachi.Methodology and Principal Findings:A total of 6212 dog-bite cases were identified over two years starting in February 2009 with largest number reported from Karachi (59.7%), followed by Peshawar (13.1%) and Hyderabad (11.4%). Severity of dog-bites was assessed using the WHO classification. Forty percent of patients had Category I (least severe) bites, 28.1% had Category II bites and 31.9% had Category III (most severe bites). Patients visiting a large public hospital ER in Karachi were least likely to seek immediate healthcare at non-medical facilities (Odds Ratio = 0.20, 95% CI 0.17-0.23, p-value<0.01), and had shorter mean travel time to emergency rooms, adjusted for age and gender (32.78 min, 95% CI 31.82-33.78, p-value<0.01) than patients visiting hospitals in smaller cities. Spatial analysis of dog-bites in Karachi suggested clustering of cases (Moran's I = 0.02, p value<0.01), and increased risk of exposure in particular around Korangi and Malir that are adjacent to the city's largest abattoir in Landhi. The direct cost of operating the mHealth surveillance system was USD 7.15 per dog-bite case reported, or approximately USD 44,408 over two years.Conclusions:Our findings suggest significant differences in access to care and health-seeking behaviors in Pakistan following dog-bites. The distribution of cases in Karachi was suggestive of clustering of cases that could guide targeted disease-control efforts in the city. Mobile phone technologies for health (mHealth) allowed for the operation of a national-level disease reporting and surveillance system at a low cost.

Working with a number of stake-holders (including the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, IUCN, the Endangered Primate Rescue Center, Cuc Phuong National Park and the Xuan Truong Enterprise), SUNDASIA is helping to establish a detailed picture of modern species biodiversity within Tràng An.
Data obtained during a preliminary entomological transect survey undertaken in September 2016 are currently being analysed by colleagues at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.
Following discussion with stake-holders and collaborators, a camera-trap survey of vertebrate fauna will take place in the property. Camera-traps will be set in September 2017 and retrieved, in the first instance, in November.
The zooarchaeological and palaeoenvironmental data generated by the project will help to characterize longer-term trends in the biodiversity of the massif and comparable tropical limestone karst habitats, including in response to different scales of environmental and climatic change; considerations central in today’s conservation management planning (e.g. see Rabett et al. 2017). The project’s ambitions in this regard are aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals (notably 6 and 15).

LONDON, May 2 (Reuters) - European equities were broadly lower in early trading on Friday, with investors trading cautiously ahead of widely tracked U.S. jobs data and as tensions in Ukraine escalated.
The focus of investors, a day after the May Day holiday in most of Europe, will be on the U.S. non-farm payrolls, which probably advanced by 210,000 jobs in April, up from a gain of 192,000 in March, according to a Reuters survey.
Societe Generale economists predicted an addition of 220,000 jobs last month, while Credit Agricole saw a rise of 215,000.
At 0713 GMT, Britain’s FTSE 100, France’s CAC , Germany’s DAX and the euro zone’s blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 indexes were down 0.1 to 0.4 percent.
Investors remained jittery following lingering geopolitical concerns. Ukrainian forces launched a “large-scale operation” to retake the eastern town of Slaviansk, pro-Russian separatists holding the town said on Friday.
On the earnings front, part-nationalised Royal Bank of Scotland trebled its profit in the first quarter, benefiting from improved cost control and a reduction in impairment costs. Its shares surged 10 percent. (Reporting by Atul Prakash; Editing by Sudip Kar-Gupta)

WINNIPEG — As the snow has started falling through Manitoba, Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) says a new survey they have conducted shows the effectiveness of winter tires.
The survey, released Wednesday morning, said vehicles with winter tires are in fewer crashes than vehicles without winter tires, with winter tire use reducing collision claim frequency by an estimated 6.3 per cent.
MPI said it analyzed collision claims from November to March between 2011-12 and 2017-18, comparing claim frequency before and after a winter tire purchase for 111,872 vehicles.
The report said there were 13,925 winter-month claims occurring before winter tires were installed, and 9,802 winter-month claims occurring after winter tires were installed.
In addition, severe damage in a collision was 5.7 per cent lower for vehicles that had winter tires installed, compared to vehicles that did not have winter tires.

Light on Snow
by Anita Shreve
Category: Fiction / General
0 pages; ISBN: 0316781487
Rating: 10/10 (Ratings explained)
Reviewer: Harriet Klausner
Light on Snow
Little, Brown, Oct 2004, $25.95, 304 pp.
Thirty years old Nicky looks back at the event that changed her and her father from gloom and depression to hope for the future. Just prior to Christmas 1983 in New Hampshire, twelve years old Nicky Dillon and her father Robert walk in the woods when they find an abandoned newborn female with the umbilical cord still attached. They take the blood drenched infant to the nearest hospital while the police search for the parents. The incident shakes both Dillons to the core because it serves as a fragile reminder of life; two years ago Nicky's mother and her one-year-old sister died in a car crash in Westchester County.
Not long after the baby survives her ordeal, the nineteen years old mother Charlotte arrives at the Dillon home to learn how her infant is doing. Robert wants Charlotte to leave as he is feels nothing but contempt for her, but refuses to turn her into the police. A blizzard forces Robert to allow the still fatigued Charlotte to remain in his home.
LIGHT ON SNOW is an engaging character study that emphasizes how pivotal events impact a person’s life. The story line is seen through the almost two decade looking back perspective of Nicky, who uses an adult lens to look back to her preadolescence in which she and her father were shrouded in grief until the rescue occurs. Although the total blame to the abandonment belongs to the father of the baby making it too easy to loath him and sympathize with everyone else including the mother and for the rest of the key cast to forge relationships, fans of Anita Shreve will appreciate her latest tale.

TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the recent devastation from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, Hill's Pet Nutrition's Disaster Relief Network has donated more than 75,000 pounds of pet food to 60 cities in four states. The food donations have supported nearly 90 animal shelters and veterinary clinics in areas of Texas, Florida, Louisiana and New Mexico affected by the hurricanes, subsequent flooding and mass evacuations.
In the days leading up to the hurricanes, Hill's activated its Disaster Relief Network and proactively shipped pet food to its shelter partners in areas that were in harm's way. In the weeks following the storms, Hill's has continued to route pet food shipments to partners in need of donations and supplies as they care for displaced and lost animals, as well as pets that were already at their shelters.
Hill's is also working to provide pet food to areas in the Caribbean that were devastated by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria.
"Seeing the devastation and hearing from families who have been forced to leave their homes has been heartbreaking, and it's important for people to know their local animal welfare organizations are there to help," said Joann Fuller, who oversees Hill's Pet Nutrition's Food, Shelter & Love® program. "We're inspired by the dedication of our partners who are caring for animals and reuniting families with beloved pets during this time of crisis. We are happy to provide food for the pets in their care, so they can focus on other areas of need within the community."
When communities are hit with disasters, the Hill's Disaster Relief Network responds quickly to supply pet food where it's needed most. The first-of-its-kind network was established in 2013 as an extension of the Hill's Food, Shelter & Love® program, which has provided more than $280 million worth of Hill's® Science Diet® brand pet foods to over 800 shelters in North America and helped more than 9 million pets find new homes.
In the past few years, the Hill's Disaster Relief Network delivered free food to shelters and veterinary clinics across the country in response to:
- Over 40 major incidents, including floods, fires, tornadoes and a mudslide.
- 16 emergencies across the United States in 2016, including the severe flooding in Louisiana, where Hill's donated 75,000 pounds of free pet food.
Hill's is also reminding people that while the storms have passed, there is still much work to be done in the coming weeks. "We don't know how long it will take communities to fully recover in the aftermath of these disasters, but Hill's is committed to providing support to our partners in need," Fuller added. "We encourage people to consider making donations to the animal welfare organizations in areas hit hardest by the storms, as they work tirelessly to take care of the pets in their communities."
About Hill's Pet Nutrition
Founded more than 75 years ago with an unwavering commitment to pet nutrition, Hill's mission is to help enrich and lengthen the special relationships between people and their pets.

To say the least. I must say, I cannot remember the last time I felt so happy after an election. I feel as if I’m finally getting my country back. Here in Massachusetts, I can at last feel hopeful about leadership from the governor, and an end to Mitt Romney’s screw-the-towns-and-schools philosophy. Deval Patrick has his work cut out for him, but I’m hopeful that he’s up to the job.
In my native state of Ohio, election-stealer Ken Blackwell is out of a job, they’ve put a Democrat in the governor’s office for the first time in 16 years, and a Democrat in the Senate, as well. Dare we hope that election “irregularities” in Ohio might come to an end?
Nationwide, what can I say? The neocon/pseudocon stranglehold on the federal government has been broken at last. Finally we might have a Congress that doesn’t roll over and play dead for the president, that understands checks and balances. With luck, we’ve seen an end to the pro-war, anti-environment, steal-from-the-underclass-and-give-to-the-rich sort of lawmaking we’ve come to know so well. It’s probably too soon to hope for the repeal or amendment of the bad laws enacted under the last Congress. On the other hand, maybe they’ll finally hold the president accountable to the law. Wouldn’t that be refreshing?
And to see Rumsfeld leave: that’s just a miracle from Heaven. (Side note: I had known that Rumsfeld was a former high school wrestling coach—embarrassing enough to the sport!—but had not known until I read it in the paper today that current Speaker of the House Hastert was, as well. Ai caramba!)
As for Iraq…truthfully, I don’t know the best way out. I don’t think it’s right to demolish the country and then just leave it in disarray—but I’m not sure how much good we’re doing with our continued presence. Probably the best thing would be for peacekeeping troops from other countries to take over, if they were willing. (And just to be clear, I don’t doubt the dedication of the guys and women in uniform; it’s we who have put them in that untenable situation.) It will take people smarter than me to figure that one out.
Anyway, I’m not going to let that uncertainty ruin my week. I voted this week (actually last week, absentee) and so did the rest of the country. And I’m thrilled with the outcome.


Porsche to “Downsize” with Four-cylinder Engines for Next Gen Boxster, Cayman
March 24, 2014 10:17 AM
comment(s) - last by
2015 Porsche Boxster GTS
Porsche's new four-cylinder engine family will produce up to 395 hp
We’ve seen a number of mainstream and luxury car manufacturers downsize their engines over the past few years in an aim to boost fuel economy while maintaining performance. Companies like Ford have jumped on the bandwagon with its
, and even BMW has joined the fray by introducing a turbocharged,
2.0-liter four-cylinder engine
to replace its naturally aspirated 3.0-liter straight-six.
It now looks as though Porsche too has been bitten by the fuel efficiency bug, and will add a turbocharged four-cylinder engine to its next generation Boxster and Cayman.
“We will continue with the downsizing strategy and develop a new four-cylinder boxer engine, which will see service in the next-generation Boxster and Cayman,” said Porsche CEO Matthias Muller, in a recent interview with
Auto Motor und Sport
. “We will not separate ourselves from efforts to reduce CO2.”
The Boxster and Cayman currently use normally aspirated flat-six engines that range from 2.7 to 3.4 liters, and generate up to 330 hp (in GTS trim). However, Muller says that the new turbocharged four-cylinder engine family will produce up to 395 hp and we should see dramatic increases in low-end torque as well.

Seeing as how the mid-engine Boxster and Cayman are all about handling first and foremost, they will use a flat-four engine (which lowers the vehicle’s center of gravity) instead of a run-of-the-mill inline-four. The engine will also be based on the flat-six used in the 911, so both engines can share parts and production facilities.
Besides improving efficiency and lowering emissions, lower-end four-cylinder engines could help Porsche lower the price of entry for the Boxster. When the 986 Boxster was introduced in ’96, it was priced at just under $40,000. The current 981 Boxster starts at $50,400 (although good luck finding a stripper Boxster).

I agree that Mazda's "improve old technology" approach is the best route at the moment. Improving the efficiency by reducing friction and weigh of basic engine components and sticking with a tried-and-true slushbox-style transmission will pay off in cost of ownership and reliability. Unfortunately, they still spent over 1 Billion on research of the Skyactiv platform, so I hope it actually does 'pay off.'
Turbo technology had improved drastically.
Turbo technology hasn't necessarily improved. It is just now finally implemented correctly. The problem was the bad reputation it got in the 80's (especially in the United States) because Chrysler boosted literally every model they had in their lineup at one point with no liquid (just oil) cooling, intercooler not standard equipment, bad fuel injection curves, poor wastegate calibration, and weak head gaskets. And don't forget the defective blow-off valve fiasco they tried to blame on Mitsubishi, when ironically Mitsu was making the most reliable turbocharged vehicles at the time.
some of that has changed with Ecoboost and the newer VW's, but the fact of the matter is a turbocharger, as any moving part, is a wearable item with a short lifespan (typically half the life of the engine) and the labor can be in the thousands to replace. What it really comes down to is if the benefits are justified by the costs.
And that's why Mazda get's my tip of the hat, because when it comes to shedding weight and increasing efficiency, there are no hidden costs.

For people who have very little computer and internet know-how, building websites can be really daunting. I was one of these before. Technologically challenged though I was, I also realized how important having a web presence is. This is all the more so if you have your own business or if you are a professional looking for projects or contracts.
The advantage with having a website is that, since the internet is free and widely accessible to different kinds of people, then you get more exposure for your business or for your services. It doesn’t limit you geographically, for example if you want to open a store, you can open it in your locality and people around the area serve as your customers but if you also have an online store, then you are widening your customer base. People from any place can buy from you.
Knowing the advantage a website can bring to my then business pushed me to study how to build a basic website. Thankfully, the net is awash with tools and tutorials to guide a total newbie like me. You can create free websites with free online website builders or if you want to take your website a notch further, then you can use one of those easy web site builders.
Surprisingly, using these easy website site builders is easy enough. Most of them have the WYSIWIG functionality that you don’t even need to know any programming language to come up with a really professional looking website.
If your just starting out or planning to build your first website, keep it simple, focused and do a bit of reading and research on tools you might want to use. It’s also a big help to visit sites with themes similar to what you have in mind to give you more ideas. And lastly, don’t get intimidated, don’t let the web conquer you, instead, do a little web conquering of your own.

“Never treat a stranger” as the Canadian physician Sir William Ostler emphasizes the need of your dentist to know you before we treat you as a patient.
The dentists’ knowledge of the patient’s medical history allows for better prevention and management of possible emergencies.
Some systemic diseases directly affect the treatment in the dental office as well including how you will respond to the specific treatment rendered, possible infections and delayed healing.
It’s important to note that it is more common to see your dentist for checkups than seeing your regular primary care doctor. This aspect allows us to better diagnose and help direct possible systemic issues as well before they are not as manageable.
While the information about reviewing the different physiologic systems might seem unnecessary for your dentist to know it allows us to see what might affect your dental treatment and also lead your dental team to spot health issues that were previously overlooked. This also includes a thorough review of all medications prescribed or over-the-counter supplements that could possibly affect your dental treatment.
It is important to update this specific document every chance we meet with you. This enables your team to better facilitate treatment because we know that things always are changing. We want the patient to feel not as a stranger in the practice but as part of the team and part of their care.
What if I have a long list of medications or medical conditions?
For some of our patients, they have a long list of medications and/or medical conditions and it can be a headache to fill out the form. We have found it easiest for these patients to bring a typed form from either their prescribing doctor or their general practitioner with the complete list of medical conditions, prescriptions and supplements. You can also type your list at home and email it to us ahead of time, if that’s easier for you.
We appreciate your help in updating your health history forms when you come to Health Centered Dentistry, and know that it can feel time consuming. We do our best to always verbally go through your medical history when you’re in the chair and only have your fill out the form once a year.
We’re always ready to answer any questions you may have regarding health history updates and the purpose of them. Feel free to contact us with your questions or concerns at [email protected] or by phone at 907.276.4537.

Last year NewsBusters repeatedly made the case that members of the press – in particular ABC’s George Stephanopoulos – aided and abetted President Obama’s claim that the Republicans were engaging in a so-called War on Women.
In a radio interview with Geraldo Rivera Wednesday, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said this might have been the case (video follows with transcript and commentary):
GERALDO RIVERA: Reince Priebus, the RNC chair was on the Republican, top politician on the Republican side, just saying that if CNN and NBC don’t cancel their planned films about Hillary Clinton, that he’s not going to allow any Republicans to participate in debates on those networks. Do you agree with that?
SENATOR RAND PAUL (R-KENTUCKY): Well, you know, you can look back to the last primary season and you wonder whether there was collusion between some reporters. You know, Stephanopoulos asks an obscure question about Griswold and birth control when no Republicans were bringing up anything about trying to put limits on birth control.
RIVERA: Griswold v. Connecticut, a big privacy Supreme Court decision way back when, but kind of obscure. You’re right.
PAUL: Yeah, and I’m in favor of the Griswold decision because I am in favor of privacy. But the thing is, it was a weird thing to bring up in a debate, and nobody understood why. But then for two years, the President’s campaign then ran ads saying that the Republicans were against people allowing birth control. So you wonder if there was a concerted action between a former Democrat operative and basically the President’s campaign.
RIVERA: Well, so you’re, are you alleging that George Stephanopoulos was a Democrat plant during the debate?
PAUL: I’m saying that there, it makes you wonder, and he’s also said publicly that he has frequent correspondence with his friends who are still involved with the White House. So the question is, are you going to get a fair shake, and I think it’s a reasonable question for Republicans to ask, should we be scheduling debates and allowing people who used to and still do have active contact with the active Democrat Party, should we be subjecting ourselves to that, or should we try to have more neutral or objective type of moderators?
For those that have forgotten, on January 7, 2012, ABC hosted a Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire.
Totally out of the blue, moderator Stephanopoulos asked Mitt Romney about the 1965 Griswold decision:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Governor Romney, I want to go straight to you. Senator Santorum has been very clear in his belief that the Supreme Court was wrong when it decided that a right to privacy was embedded in the Constitution. And following from that, he believes that states have the right to ban contraception. Now, I should add that he's said that he's not recommending that states do that. (SANTORUM STARTS TO JUMP IN BUT IS INAUDIBLE) Well, I'll, I'll, absolutely, I'm giving you your due.
RICK SANTORUM: We're talking about the Tenth Amendment and the right of (INAUDIBLE).
STEPHANOPOULOS: But I do want to get that core question. Governor Romney, do you believe that states have the right to ban contraception? Or is that trumped by a constitutional right to privacy?
MITT ROMNEY: George, this is an unusual topic that you're raising. States have a right to ban contraception? I can't imagine a state banning contraception. I can't imagine the circumstances where a state would want to do so, and if I were governor of a state-
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, the Supreme Court had ruled on that ... (INAUDIBLE)
ROMNEY: -or a legislator of a state, I would totally and completely oppose any effort to ban contraception. So you're asking, given the fact that there's no state that wants to do so, and I don't know of any candidate that wants to do so. You're asking: Could it constitutionally be done? We can ask our constitutionlist here. (AUDIENCE LAUGHS AS ROMNEY TURNS TO RON PAUL)
STEPHANOPOULOS: I'm sure Congressman Paul ... (INAUDIBLE) ... but I'm asking you: Do states have that right or not?
ROMNEY: George, I don't know whether the states have a right to ban contraception. No state wants to. I mean, the idea of you putting forward things that states might want to do that no state wants to do and asking me whether they could do it or not, is kind of a silly thing I think. (AUDIENCE APPLAUSE)
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Governor, you went to Harvard Law School. You know very well this is based on-
ROMNEY: Has the Supreme Court, has the Supreme Court decided that the states do not have the right to provide contraception?
STEPHANOPOULOS: Yes, they have, in 1965, Griswald v. Connecticut.
ROMNEY: I believe in the, that the law of the land is as spoken by the Supreme Court, and that if we disagree with the Supreme Court - and occasionally I do - then we have a process under the Constitution to change that decision, and it's known as the amendment process, and where we have - for instance, right now, we're having issues that relate to same-sex marriage. My view is we should have a Federal amendment to the Constitution defining marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman. But I know of no reason to talk about contraceptions...
STEPHANOPOULOS: Would you accept the Supreme Court decision finding a right to privacy in the Constitution?
ROMNEY: I don't believe they decided that correctly. In my view, Roe v. Wade was improperly decided. It was based upon that same principle. And, in my view, if we had justices like Roberts and Alito, Thomas and Scalia, and more justices like that, they might well decide to return this issue to states as opposed to saying it's in the Federal Constitution. And, by the way, if the people say it should be in the Federal Constitution, then instead of having unelected judges stuff it in there when it's not there, we should allow the people to express their own views through amendment and add it to the Constitution. But this idea that justices-
STEPHANOPOULOS: Should that be done in this case?
STEPHANOPOULOS: Should that be done in this case?
ROMNEY: Should this be done in this case to allow states to ban contraception? No. States don't want to ban contraception, so why would we try to put it in the Constitution? With regards to gay marriage, I've told you that's when I would amend the Constitution. Contraception, it's working just fine. Just leave it alone.
STEPHANOPOULOS: I understand that, but you're still, you've given two answers to the question. Do you believe that the Supreme Court should overturn it or not?
ROMNEY: Do I believe the Supreme Court should overturn, do I believe the Supreme Court should overturn Roe v. Wade? Yes, I do.
Eventually as Stephanopoulos continued to press this issue, Romney asked why he was asking about this matter, and the crowd began to boo the moderator.
About a month later, former Clinton advisor Dick Morris accused Stephanopoulos of being a "paid Democratic hitman":
DICK MORRIS: Obama did not make a mistake in this mandate. It’s a deliberately calculated move on his part. The Democrats realize that abortion is no longer a winner for them. It used to be ten points more pro-choice than pro-Life, now it’s ten points more pro-Life than pro-choice possibly because of the publicity of the anti-abortion people, possibly because of the aging of the population. But the point is that it’s a loser issue. So what they’re trying to do now is replace it with contraception.
So the first piece of evidence was after Santorum won Iowa, the first controversy was, “Do you think states should have the right to ban contraception?” Where did that come from? Then you remember that ABC debate with that paid Democratic hitman George Stephanopoulos went after Romney trying to…
SEAN HANNITY, HOST: Friend of yours, Dick.
MORRIS: …trying to pin him down on, on contraception? And Romney kept saying, “George, nobody wants to make contraception.” “No, but do they have the theoretical power to do it?” Remember, it was five minutes, people were laughing at him, booing him. Well that…
HANNITY: You think he was doing this under direct orders?
MORRIS: Under orders. And I think, and now he comes out with this thing on contraception. They want to create the idea, and it’s no coincidence, that he came out with it after Minnesota and Colorado which was Santorum’s victories. They want to create the impression that the Republicans will ban contraception, which is totally insane, but they’re floating it out and they’re bringing it out there. And this move on Obama’s part was part of injecting that issue.
It appears now, a year and a half later, Paul agrees.

I feel like Dee Wallace needs no introduction. If you don’t know who she is by now… I don’t even know what to say to that. From secretly giving refuge to a displaced extraterrestrial in E.T., to saving her family from aliens again in Critters, to protecting her child from a rabid St. Bernard in Cujo, Dee Wallace has become a favorite in the horror genre. To celebrate the release of her latest film, The Nest, I chatted with Dee about what intrigued her about the film, what it was like working on Cujo, and what’s up next.
PopHorror: Hi Dee! How are you?
Dee Wallace: I’m great, baby! How are you?
PopHorror: I’m fantastic. And I have to tell you that I’m a little nervous talking to you.
Dee Wallace: Oh, stop it. We’re just two awesome broads talking to each other, okay?
PopHorror: Yes, absolutely! So I’m really excited. I watched The Nest, and just like everything you’re in, you’re phenomenal.
Dee Wallace: Aw, thank you.
PopHorror: So what intrigued you about the film and made you want to be a part of it?
Dee Wallace: Well, you know… I thought it was really well written, and truthfully, I just fell in love with the producer. We had talked so many times and I liked the script. I thought it was really well written. The part gave me a lot of colors to play, which I love. So I go from this happy-go-lucky person to this possessed weirdo. The talks went from there and here we are.
PopHorror: Oh, awesome! I love it when it works out that way. What was your favorite part of filming?
Dee Wallace: I think going back to the location and working with just wonderful people. The director… I think the lead actress is quite fabulous in it. All the actors were very good. And as I said, I loved working with the director, and I just had a really good time. Sometimes, the smaller films—sometimes—when they’re organized well and they’re as professional as they can be, sometimes the smaller films are even more fun to do than the bigger films, because it’s more of a community effort. You know?
PopHorror: Absolutely! I think that organization definitely makes a big difference.
Dee Wallace: Oh my God. Night and day, for sure.
PopHorror: You’re a fan favorite in the horror genre. You do conventions and people love seeing you. What is it that draws you back to horror?
Dee Wallace: You know… I didn’t go out looking for horror. But horror was determined to find me. I love playing emotional art, and I love being able to use emotion to tap into all of my emotions. And there’s really no other genre that allows you to do that. Sometimes the suspense projects do, but in horror, it’s given. You’re going to be taken on an emotional ride if you let yourself. And I like that. There’s a lot of actors that aren’t as comfortable having to be responsible for that emotional work, but it kind of rocks my boat.
PopHorror: I think you’ve found a great home in the horror genre. We’re really happy to have you.
Dee Wallace: Aww, thank you!
PopHorror: You’ve been in so many memorable movies playing phenomenal roles that have spanned several genres. What was your favorite role to play and why?
Dee Wallace: My favorite role to play is very much different than what my favorite role is. I would have to say… Within the horror genre, right?
PopHorror: Any of your roles. You’ve spanned so many different genres, whatever resonated with you the most.
Dee Wallace: I think it would be a toss up between 10 and The Howling and 3 From Hell for Rob Zombie. Now, my favorite film that I’ve done is Cujo. I just feel like I went as far as I could go and as truthfully as I could get there, and I’m really really proud of my work in that film.
PopHorror: Cujo is a hard one for me to watch. I know that it’s not real but anything having to do with animals just really…
Dee Wallace: I am a huge animal activist. And those dogs were way better taken care of than I was.
PopHorror: Oh, I bet!
Dee Wallace: And there were actually 13 dogs that played Cujo.
Dee Wallace: So that they would not be overworked. Each one of them was trained to go after toys. So one of them would growl for his toy, and one of them would dig for his toy. So they were having a great, grand, wonderful time. It was all play time for them. So maybe you can watch the film now and when you watch it, notice that there are a couple of scenes where we kept in them wagging their tails, but most of the time, we had to tie their tails down with fish wire because it was a big game for them. Yeah.
PopHorror: Well yes, that does make me feel better.
Dee Wallace: Just know that those doggies were having a lot of fun. And we were not dying of the heat. It was actually cold. I had them put a heater in the front of the car because Danny’s [Pintauro] lips were chattering. You know, the magic of movies and all that. I would never, ever in my life, do a film that took advantage of animals. Ever. So when Dan Blatt, who I had done The Howling for, brought me Cujo, I went, “Dan, you know I’m a huge animal activist.” He said, “Dee, these dogs are going to be so well taken care of.” I mean, the trainer even lived in the barn with his dogs.
PopHorror: That’s so great! I love that.
Dee Wallace: So, put all your fears aside. Those doggies were well taken care of and brilliantly trained by Karl Miller.
PopHorror: Well, now I’m going to search for it later and find it where I can watch it. Thank you for reassuring me.
Dee Wallace: You know, when it came out, that’s one of the challenges we had with the press, because people just get so involved in their own visceral reactions and protection of animals that it kind of clouded the film when it first came out. Until we got a lot of this information out about how well they were taken care of and about how many dogs there were so none of them would be overworked. Of course, there was only one actress, you see?
PopHorror: Right?! So what’s up next for you, Dee?
Dee Wallace: Well, one of the young girls that I did Just Add Magic with, I’m going in to do a project—her first project that she’s written—I’m going to shoot that in a couple of weeks. I just feel that you have to give back. When you have the span of career that I have, you have to give back and help people. If people bring me projects like The Nest, which was a much smaller budget, intimate film, right? Not a big studio film. But I looked at their projects, and I thought they were very well done. They knew what they were talking about. And I’m happy to go in. I’m not going to make the money that I make on a Steven Spielberg film, but everybody wins, I think. So I’m off to do that. I have, other than The Nest, three films coming out. 13 Fanboy was so hot on the internet when we were shooting right before Covid, so I know the fans are chomping at the bit for that one, and I just heard that they have distribution rights. Await the Dawn is a sci fi horror picture that I did. Very, very interesting. I think it has distribution. And then I just signed on for three others, but the contracts aren’t signed, so I can’t really discuss them.
PopHorror: Oh absolutely. Well, we’re all definitely excited for 13 Fanboy. I’ve been following that very closely, so I’m excited about that one. I just have one last question for you this morning. What is your favorite scary movie?
Dee Wallace: The Exorcist. Totally freaks me out.
PopHorror: You didn’t even have to think about that, and I love that so much!
Dee Wallace: The other side of me is I’m a clairaudient channel. I didn’t know if you knew that.
PopHorror: I did not!
Dee Wallace: I have a whole healing practice. So I know that our fears and our stupid beliefs that have been passed down to us are the biggest demons we’re fighting. But, as far as a horror film, to be taken over by a dark side—which I know is not possible—but it’s still the thing that freaks me out the most.
Thank you so much, Deem\, for taking the time to speak with us. Be sure to catch The Nest on VOD and DVD now!

Nicholas Eames took the fantasy world by storm with his stellar debut KINGS OF THE WYLD (US | UK | AUS) about a band of mercenaries getting back together for one last impossible mission. Now, we’re excited to reveal the stunning cover to his follow up, BLOODY ROSE where he’s introducing us to a brand new band. Art by Richard Anderson, cover design by Lisa Marie Pompilio.
Live fast, die young.
Tam Hashford has always dreamed of living through glory days of her own. With a renowned mercenary for a mother and an illustrious bard for a father, battles and adventure seem the only way to really live.
So when she learns that the most revered mercenary crew in Grandual is in need of a bard, she grabs her lute and goes on tour. Led by the infamous Bloody Rose, Tam and her new band embark on a mission that will earn them everlasting fame — or certain death.
It’s time to take a walk on the wyld side.
KINGS OF THE WYLD is also up for the Best Fantasy award in the Goodreads Choice Awards. Congratulations, Nicholas Eames!

How do you go about seeing the films in your life?
Me? I believe I see films rooting for the filmmakers and the subject matter to kick my ass, to win my heart and mind and to be something that I could love without hesitation.
That said, it’s difficult, when you’re a film lover and yet almost everyone in your social network is gangbanging the film black and blue before I even have a chance to see it. A creative partner of mine has been talking smack about CHAPPIE, sight unseen due to early word of mouth and reviews. I reminded him that once upon a time films like THE BIG LEBOWSKI and FEAR & LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS were sub-20% favorable ratings… but then he’d say, “Or the movie could just suck.”
But – if you honestly believe a movie is going to suck, why pay to see it at all? If that’s your mentality. Nobody that pays to see a movie, at least folks I know, pay to witness lameness… they’re there because they hope to come away with something worthwhile.
My interest in CHAPPIE came, the second that Neil Blomkamp announced the attachment of Ninja & Yo-Landi from DIE ANTWOORD. That very day, I sought out all of Die Antwoord’s music videos and experimental shorts – and I realized instantly. This wouldn’t be like other sci-fi flicks. The basic story sounded a bit like SHORT CIRCUIT, but casting Yo-Landi Visser as the Ally Sheedy character and Ninja as the Steve Guttenberg character, then setting it in South Africa in the criminal gangster world – with Dev Patel in the Fisher Stevens role… well… At a conceptual level, it didn’t sound like it’d resemble SHORT CIRCUIT at all…
Also, as we near the age of artificial intelligence – more and more we’re going to be bombarded with fear… Let’s face it, Kubrick nailed this with 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY… Cameron played with it in his two Terminators. Last year’s AUTOMATA was quite captivating on the subject, and this year… we still have EX MACHINA, AGE OF ULTRON and TERMINATOR GENSYS or whatever it is being called to come… and I’m sure we’ve got more coming that’s slipping my mind at this juncture, but… We’re on the cusp. I’ve read work from some scientist that thinks it is foolhardy to think an advance intelligent would feel threatened at all by a lesser intelligence, but that doesn’t keep us monkeys from telling boogie man stories of AI gone nuts.
Still, it is an issue that culturally we’re continuing to work through. To me, I still trust Gort. Always have. But then I think violence is a sucker’s game.
My dad, Father Geek, he’s been obsessed with Robots my entire life. It’s a passion of his. There was no advance screening in Austin for this superb movie, quite frankly a terrible mistake. Had I held a screening for this, introduced it as I wish I could have for something like FANTASTIC FEST or SXSW… There would be a room of folks that would’ve loved this film I feel.
You see… In a way, CHAPPIE is a perfect FANTASTIC FEST film. Wildly violent. International in tone. DIE ANTWOORD is the exact cultural what the fuck, that makes FANTASTIC FEST awesome! But Fantastic Fest can’t be going on 365 days a year… or can’t it?
As one of the founders & owners of FANTASTIC FEST, I keep the spirit of that festival very close to my heart at all times. To find films that make me think the word, “FANTASTIC!” CHAPPIE is definitely one of those.
Yes, the accents are heavy and there’s a good amount of South Africa’s Gangster Speak…. But you see… I love that.
I don’t go to the movies to see my friends or neighborhood reflected. I don’t go to see me in movies, honestly – everytime I cameo in something, it actually takes me every so slightly out of the movie when I see me, not further into it. No… I go to movies to discover cultures I can’t imagine. Once I discovered DIE ANTWOORD online, I felt about them, the same way that I feel about Bjork and Marilyn Manson and Gwar. They’re a pair of Beautiful Weirdos in the world.
I’ve heard the movie doesn’t work because of these two… but I find the film to work first and foremost because of them. Because… they’re not at all the people you would ever hand the first full A.I. in the world over to. They’re at first, the worst possible kind of parents. They’re criminals with drugs and guns and take no shit from anyone attitudes… but there’s a sweetness too. Even in Ninja… who really does come across as a frightening persona… until you see the otherside… if you allow yourself to see that otherside.
People seem to universally be praising Sharlto Copley’s CHAPPIE performance, but how they can do this while talking shit about Ninja and Yo-Landi is beyond me. They’re CHAPPIE’s Mommy & Daddy – and much of the behavior, movement and emotional reality that we see in CHAPPIE is a reflection of these two lost souls.
But the key is finding the beauty embedded in the glorious freakshow of humanity and all we spawn. Dev Patel is CHAPPIE’s creator, he’s a AI addict & developer. He desperately wants to bring a fully realized AI into existence and after a breakthrough and the knowledge that there’s a perfect Robot that can only live 5 days set for destruction… he decides to… why the hell not, he’s gonna try it.
I’ll never claim this movie as being for everyone, it isn’t. I’m sure there’s a significant portion of the audience that will barely understand anything coming out of the mouths of anyone… these people also have to watch TRAINSPOTTING with the subtitles on… different strokes for different folks. SO – if you have trouble with accents, maybe waiting for home video with the subs… that might help you.
Or maybe the tone of CHAPPIE being a childlike creation put into questionable parentage… maybe that would drive some folks uneasy… well, certainly that’s gonna happen in AGE OF ULTRON, Tony Stark should probably be monitored for his A.I. creation… heh. But CHAPPIE doesn’t want to be a bad robot, he just wants to live. Like we do. This goes back to Roy Batty declaring, “I want more life, fucker!” And is a theme in the film.
Also in this film are Sigourney Weaver as the boss at the Robotics Manufacturing company – and Hugh Jackman as an ex-military man responsible for a flying ED-209 type of thing called THE MOOSE. It’s a robotic drone controlled by Hugh himself. It’s good stuff.
The action and effects work in CHAPPIE is outstanding. Really top shelf work here. And Hans Zimmer has a wonderful score that propels the film forward.
Ultimately, this isn’t an evil AI story, like pretty much everything else. This is about how an AI could be born innocent, be raised by the brutality of the world and still come out a hero, still be something that we could actually need in our world. Something that teaches us how to keep living, keep striving and how to not just go on to that other uncertain place.
DISTRICT 9 is Neill Blomkamp’s best movie, CHAPPIE is next, then ELYSIUM. That doesn’t mean I hate ELYSIUM, I don’t. I just wish the idea had been better developed. It still felt loose. With CHAPPIE, it’s a film – more than DISTRICT 9 – that I would love to see more from. At the end of the film, we’re essentially just past the first stage of development.
I feel we’re close to getting into like Adam Link style storytelling – were the robot would have to begin advocating for the selfworth of awareness, to have certain inalienable rights. More so, the act that CHAPPIE provides for his Creator & Mommy raises even larger science fiction questions… things that Ray Kurzweil would perk up about.
If you respect and are fascinated by the weird of society, if you love AI tales and have a healthy robotic fetish… you’ll probably get a whole helluvalot out of CHAPPIE. Go for Weta and Sharlto, but allow yourself to enjoy the crazy South African carnival that Blomkamp unleashes with this thing. CHAPPIE is definitely its own film!

Phoenix Precision Technology to build PCB plant in Suzhou, China
Sep 28, 2006
IC-substrate supplier Phoenix Precision Technology (PPT) has received Taiwan government permission to invest US$50 million in building a printed circuit board (PCB) plant in China, according to a company filing with the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE).
This is the first time PPT has invested in China. PPT general manager Hu Chu-chin said that the PCB plant, which will be located in Suzhou, will have a monthly capacity of 800,000 square meters.
Hu said the company decided to set up the China plant in order to be close to its clients since some of its clients have expressed the hope that PPT can set up facilities in China.
In the long run, PPT may also move its low-end plastic-ball-grid-array (PBGA) lines to China, with Taiwan remaining the production base for flip-chip (FC) substrates, Hu added.
Hu said the company hopes all the paper work can be done by the end of this year, so that construction can begin in 2007, and production can commence in 2008.
FC substrates are PPT's chief output. Of PPT's capex of NT$4.6 billion (US$139.5 million) for 2006, NT$1.6 billion is budgeted for construction of a new FC-substrate plant, while the rest is for expansion of its existing FC-substrate plants.

Dan Black has one of those voices that just soothes the soul, especially when it’s layered over a heartfelt production from none other than Kaskade (pictured). The two last teamed up for Ice with Dada Life on Kaskade’s Fire & Ice Album, and now it seems as if Kaskade can’t get enough of the British pop artist’s transcendent vocals. In his latest production, Kaskade teams up with the Dutch madman R3hab to churn out one hell of a progressive remix of Dan Black & Kelis’ Hearts.
In an attempt to mesh two vastly different styles, Kaskade and R3hab prove that you don’t always need to have similar styles or ambitions to create one magnificently original tune. Elements of both artists are evident throughout, with soaring big room synths reminiscent of R3hab’s energetic aura and captivating, tempo-swaying breakdowns we’ve associated with Kaskade’s refined work. This track is a must-have for all EDM fans, so head on over to Beatport and pick up your copy today.

Tesla Reducing Production Hours for the Model S & Model X
【Summary】Electric automaker Tesla is cutting production hours for the Model S sedan and Model X SUV, a move which raised concerns about falling demand for the company’s most profitable models.
Electric automaker Tesla is cutting production hours for the Model S sedan and Model X SUV, a move which raised concerns about falling demand for the company's most profitable models.
Tesla has significantly lowered daily production targets for both the Model S and Model X, according to Bloomberg, who spoke with current and former employees who asked not to be identified discussing plans that aren't public. A Tesla spokeswoman confirmed that the company had reduced production hours for both models.
"We recently announced that we are no longer taking orders for the 75 kWh version of Model S and X in order to streamline production and provide even more differentiation with Model 3" Tesla said in an emailed statement to Bloomberg News. "As a result of this change and because of improving efficiencies in our production lines, we have reduced Model S and X production hours accordingly."
Tesla said the decision was linked to Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk's announcing that the company would stop accepting orders for entry-level versions of the Model S and Model X starting Jan 14. The entry level versions were equipped with a lower-priced 75 kWh battery pack which offered 259 miles of range. The P100 Model S delivers up to 335 miles of range.
However, the Model S and X models equipped with the optional 100 kWh battery are considerable more expensive than the base version. The Model S P100D starts at $94,000 before any incentives. When ordering the car, a customer can add the optional advanced Autopilot autonomous driving feature for an additional $5,000 raising the price to $99,000.
There was at least a $15,000 difference between the 75D and longer-range 100D editions of the models at the time of Musk's tweeted announcement on Jan 9. The Model S 75D is no longer advertised on Tesla's website.
The Mid-Range Tesla Model 3 starts at $44,000 with a 259 mile range.
The move creates a greater price difference between the Mid-Range Model 3, which starts at $44,000 and the $94,000 Model S. The $35,000 base Model 3 long promised by Musk is still not available. Instead, Tesla decided to offer the more expensive Long-Range and Performance versions first to reservation holders.
Increasing the cost of the Model S might lure more buyers to the more-affordable Model 3.
Over 400,000 people put down deposits for the Model 3 when Tesla opened reservations in March 2016. Production of the mass-market car began in July 2017. Many reservation holders have been waiting since then for the $35,000 entry-level Model 3, which is still not available. According to Tesla's website, the entry level version will be available in 4 to 6 months.
Representatives for Tesla declined to comment beyond the statement, including about whether actual production rates of the Model S and Model X have been reduced. Meanwhile, Tesla continues to ramp up production of the Model 3.
The automaker built 61,394 Model 3 sedans in the fourth quarter of 2018, more than it did in the entire year of 2017, along with a combined total of 25,161 Model S and Model Xs.
The announcement follows Musk's announcement last week that Tesla would cut 7 percent of its workforce as a cost cutting measure. The CEO said the layoffs were necessary because the company still makes vehicles that are far too expensive for most consumers and its profitability will come under pressure as deliveries of lower-priced Model 3's increase.
Tesla is also facing increasing competition from more established automakers that are set to introduce their first fully-electric models this year. Among the upcoming electric models are the Audi e-tron, Porsche Taycan, Chevy Bolt and Jaguar I-Pace SUV.
Tesla shares dropped 4.3 percent today in New York trading after earlier sinking as much as 5.8 percent to $281.69, the lowest intraday price since Oct. 23.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 22 – The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) is now calling on President Uhuru Kenyatta to speak out on increasing cases of arson in schools.
Through his Twitter account, KNUT Secretary General Wilson Sossion stated that the situation had reached proportions of national crisis and should be addressed immediately.
“Dear President @UKenyatta Step in Quickly and Directly. The Burning of Schools is beyond National crisis!” Sossion stated.
His sentiments came as school heads and principals were given the leeway to shut down institutions should they detect arson plans so as to avert a crisis that puts lives at risk.
The directive was issued by Government Spokesman Eric Kiraithe following increased arson cases in public schools with the latest being Riosiri Mixed Secondary School in Gucha South sub-county where a dormitory was burnt.
“If the Board of Governors or the principals feel that there is a possibility of arson in their institutions and that students can go home for three days or one week, they can close them down to ensure there are no losses of life,” he stated.
He however stated that there will be no blanket closure of schools as many were not affected by the arson incidences and were working hard to prepare their students for exams.
“There are many school students, teachers and BOGs working hard to ensure that they perform well every year. They do not even concern themselves with the strikes. Institutions where the teachers and students are serious will continue to operate. They will not be closed down,” he pointed out.
Police have also warned against sale of fuel to children.
In Homa Bay, County Commissioner Farah Maalim stated that school principals and teachers will be held liable in case of a fire outbreak in their schools and pointed out that the arm of the law will not only target suspected students in case of an inferno in the school.
“I have instructed the sub-county security committee members that if any incidents of fire happens in a school, we are not only going for student suspects but also the principal, deputy the master on duty, the teachers and any other person so that they are also held for interrogations,” he said.
His Kisumu County counterpart John Elungata has organised an educational stakeholders meeting next week to ventilate on the schools unrest.

Airborne LiDAR measurements and model simulations of tides, waves, and surface slope at the mouth of the columbia river
Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) measurements and model simulations are used to investigate the temporal and spatial variability of the water surface elevation at the mouth of the Columbia River. A series of 15-km transects repeated in 2-3-h flights over a two week period resolve processes at a range of scales that are important to the dynamics of the river mouth region, including tides, surface slope, surface gravity waves, and wave setup. Water surface elevations agree well with a nearby tide gauge with an average difference of 0.01 m and an root mean square error of 0.39 m. Significant wave heights derived from the LiDAR measurements agree well with in situ wave drifter measurements and are observed to react to both bathymetry and spatial/temporal variations in currents, increasing up to 228 % on large ebb tides. Surface slopes varied from 2.7× 10-5 to-2.6× 10-5 over the course of a typical tide to as large as 6.3× 10-5 to-4.8× 10-5 during a larger tide. The magnitude of the setup and set down due to wave height amplification during ebb tide was estimated to be 4× 10-6. These observations demonstrate that many of the key dynamical variables at river mouths can be determined from airborne remote sensing measurements of water surface elevation and suggest that forthcoming altimetry products, such as those from the Surface Water Ocean Topography altimeter, may be able to provide new insight on monitoring in these complex regions.

World News: 14:55 GMT Wednesday 11th July 2018. [Resource via Globe Newswire via SPi World News]
PHILADELPHIA, July 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Resource Credit Income Fund (the “Fund,” ticker ) today announced its quarterly distribution of $0.175* per share as of June 30, 2018. This represents a 6.3 percent distribution and is the ninth consecutive quarterly distribution. The Fund began trading on April 17, 2015 and closed the quarter as of June 30, 2018 with an inception-to-date cumulative total return of 28.0 percent.
The Fund is a closed-end interval fund that seeks current income, risk diversification, and capital preservation by investing in direct credit, private credit, and public credit investments.
Per Annum Fund Performance as of 6/30/18.
* To calculate the quarterly distribution, the Fund takes the income received from the Fund’s portfolio, subtracts expenses, and divides the result by the total number of shares owned by the Fund’s shareholders. Distributions are not guaranteed and may include a return of capital.
** Maximum Offering Price (MOP) for Class A shares includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%.
An interval fund is a continuously offered, closed-end fund that periodically offers to repurchase its shares from shareholders. This feature allows the Fund greater opportunities to invest in less-liquid assets, which may result in higher risk-adjusted returns. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act. As a result, it can invest a greater portion of its assets in obligations of a single issuer than a “diversified” fund. The Fund may therefore be more susceptible than a diversified fund to being adversely affected by any single corporate, economic, political or regulatory occurrence.
Through the interval structure, the Fund offers a Liquidity Feature of quarterly redemptions at NAV of no less than 5 percent of the shares outstanding made available, redeeming more frequently than other real estate and private equity investments. Regardless of how the Fund performs, there is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly repurchase offer.
Resource, the marketing name for Resource Alternative Advisor, LLC, the Fund’s investment advisor, and its affiliates, is an asset management company that specializes in real estate and credit investments. Resource’s main objective is to be a best-in-class asset manager as measured by risk-adjusted returns to investors and the quality of the funds and businesses it manages. The company’s investments emphasize consistent value and long-term returns with an income orientation. Resource is a wholly owned subsidiary of C-III Capital Partners LLC, a fully integrated asset management and commercial real estate services company, with $8.8 billion in real estate and debt assets under management as of December 31, 2017.

This pleasing addition to the popular Newford saga (The Onion Girl, etc.) brings series characters Jilly Coppercorn and Geordie Riddell together in a romantic relationship that's anything but simple. In de Lint's magic-realist universe, a version of contemporary North America, the supernatural is taken for granted and the occasional skeptic who doesn't understand that everyone else has routine encounters with fairies and Native American earth spirits is left very much in the dark. Many of the characters are folk musicians, one of whom begins the story under magical compulsion to perform for the fairy revels in a shopping mall after closing time. These fairies aren't necessarily of the cuddly sort—early on, a female musician barely escapes possible rape or murder from nasty little men. In the background, a great war is brewing between Native American spirits and those that came over with the white men, a situation that inevitably recalls Neil Gaiman's American Gods, to which this more...

Late in game 4 of the 2014 Playoffs the Chicago Bulls were in need of a score as they trailed the Washington Wizards. Tom Thibodeau drew up this sideline out of bounds play in a timeout which resulted in a mid-range jumper from Carlos Boozer. This is a great play as it gives you multiple quick inbound and scoring options.
Last night in an overtime thriller, without any timeouts and trailing by 2 with just a few seconds left, Tom Thibodeau called out this Stack play for Luol Deng. Deng did an excellent job stepping back to set up his man and leveraging position to beat his man back to the ball for a catch & shoot lay-up.
While last night’s NBA debut and return of Derrick Rose wasn’t as intense as many hyped it to be, from a coaches perspective I was able to pick up a few new extra X & O’s. The Chicago Bulls ran this baseline out of bounds action during their comeback attempt late in the 4th quarter. This play is simple and effective and can be run at any level.
Friday night in between watching ESPNU Midnight Madness and the UCF-Louisville football game, I flipped over to the Chicago Bulls game. Tom Thibodeau runs some great offensive sets and Friday night he allowed me to add one more play to my library. The Bulls ran this play with pure perfection and timing. 1 also has the option to throwback to 3 coming off the screen from 5.
