In this vastly improved Internet age, we often get 'gifted' with an early listen of a highly anticipated album. With the immense success of Leonard Cohen, especially at this stage in his life, fans of the Zen master should be extremely pleased that a new album of music is on its way.
With music that is spare and somewhat jazzy, Old Ideas is a splash into a deep philosophical pool that is expressed so well by Mr Cohen, who is a skilled mouthpiece for many of us.
Enjoy the NPR Radio stream of the full album.

We built a mixed reality chess set during our last hackathon and we wanted to stretch boundaries and not limit ourselves. As a result, we decided to build a VR Horror House Game.
What it does
The user experiences a real situation where he/she is trapped in a spooky house and is running against time to solve a puzzle and get out of the house before being devoured by the monster. The game uses Oculus Rift VR set and an Xbox controller for the gameplay.
How we built it
With very little Unity experience, the team members collaborated heavily to build the project. Designing as well as creating the objects to be included in the gameplay was challenging. Coding and making the first person control was also difficult to handle. Incorporation of sound effects as well as use of lighting technology invokes a step ahead of being trapped in a mystery.
Challenges we ran into
- Handling VR motion sickness
- Creating objects and modelling them to the gameplay.
- Extensive version control issues due to excessive meta data
- Integration of sound at specific points in the gameplay
One of the most important challenge we ran into was "designing" objects. Alongside actually writing code, we had to model and consider placing objects and applying Physics to them in the space. This was one of the most fun challenges we came across.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Smooth working of the game. We actually did not think it would be possible for us to create the entire game. However, we managed to create a remarkable gameplay experience within 36 hours.
What we learned
Building a VR application involves more than coding. As software developers, you are required to think extensively and long term goals. This project involved exactly that. Dependency on other team member requires trust and that can be achieved by hardwork and power naps!
What's next for Haunted House Game in VR
For the horror game that we built - we don't intend to move forward, however we have some really cool VR ideas in mind for the future. Stay Tuned!

Sofia Richie isn’t receiving the best feedback right now. The model and girlfriend to Scott Disick has taken to Instagram with a sparkly look that made the Daily Mail‘s headlines on the style front, but fan feedback to the 21-year-old’s social media post showcasing the outfit has sparked a fair amount of outrage.
Sofia’s photos showed her rocking the glitter-embellished and mostly sheer outfit she wore to an event last night. The look was a two-piece comprised of a long-sleeved crop top in see-through silver paired with a matching skirt. While the skirt’s thigh-high slit was flashing the model’s long legs – the Daily Mail provided full-length images – the crop top was showcasing the blonde’s taut abs. The look was completed by a high ponytail and heavy makeup accentuating the star’s attractive features.
Instagram seems to be horrified, although negative remarks didn’t see users too fussed on the outfit. Quite simply, it seemed that fans were, by the masses, questioning whether Sofia was attempting to morph into a Kardashian-Jenner.
“Be yourself, please don’t start looking like the Kardashians. I thought you were Khloe for a min,” a fan wrote with others agreeing.
“Stop doing that high pony you will be bald like Kourtney,” another said.
“She is too much of a copycat,” one fan wrote before stating that the alleged copying of the Kardashian-Jenners was “NOT COOL.”
Comments also came in accusing the star of having had cosmetic surgery.
“Did she get her lips done too?” a user wrote before adding a sad-looking smiley.
“Yup, I was just checking her old pics and she definitely got them done,” a seemingly-convinced fan replied.
Endless other comments came in – while some likened Sofia to 35-year-old Khloe without slamming her, many seemed out to suggest that Sofia was straight-up attempting to look like the Good American founder. Khloe has, of course, herself been sparking controversy of late, with fans slamming her for appearing to have a narrowed and more-defined nose. Khloe has not admitted to having had a nose job.
“Omg please stop filling your lips,” one fan told the model.
Fortunately, not all responses were damning in nature, although it’s rare to see this much backlash come in so quickly after an update from Richie goes live – the above-mentioned comments all came in within two hours of the model posting her update.
Sofia definitely has her own look and appeal, but it would appear that Instagram just wasn’t digging last night’s finish.

Rough season ends for A-D-M baseball
Adel-DeSoto-Minburn’s difficult season on the baseball field came to an end in Dallas Center with a loss to Carlisle in the first round of tournament action on Friday. The final was 10-0 in six innings.
The Tigers finished the year with a 3-29 record. They ended the season with 13 straight losses. A-D-M coach Jason Book said that during this rough season, his main focus was on developing baseball players.
Looking at the wins and losses can be exhausting for a team that won only one game in June and no games in July. Book said the Tigers made strides some days, but they struggled with consistency.
Particularly, Book said A-D-M struggled at the plate with runners on base. He also said the team did not throw and catch the ball consistently enough to win games.
Still, Book said the team showed some toughness and made some progress.
“We’re doing some things a lot better,” Book said after A-D-M’s loss to Van Meter on July 7. “We’re just not getting some things done. We’re better than we were at the beginning. We’re just facing a lot better competition at the end.”
Two of A-D-M’s three victories came against Carroll. The Tigers put up 16 runs in both contests. A-D-M also defeated Earlham early in the season.
Jack O’Brien led the team in hits and RBIs. Chase Ritchie and Kade Overton led A-D-M in innings pitched, and Dalton Hews recorded a team-high 32 strikeouts from the mound.

Chancellor Sajid Javid has announced that the Conservative Party’s magic money tree has shown record growth and will produce a bumper cash crop in time for a general election.
The news comes as the Office for National Statistics reports that the UK economy has contracted by 0.2% between April and June, its worst performance since 2012.
Brushing aside the facts from the so-called experts at the ONS, Mr Javid has assured government departments that the arboreal-cashpoint is in excellent condition and today launched a one-year spending review to prove it.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury James Fishlove said: “This spending round will give financial certainty to departments’ plans for next year.
“We will invest in the priority areas of schools and policing, while delivering our promises on the NHS, defence and other big sounding and importantly vote-winning policy areas.
Mr Javid added: “I’ve given the tree a good old shake and it’s dropping cash faster than Donald Trump’s trousers at a Miss World pageant.”
The money tree was first planted in the garden of Number 11 Downing street by Nigel Lawson in 1983 and has been central to Conservative Party fiscal policy ever since.
While it has suffered from periods of weak growth, the mystical shrub is known to sprout into life just before a general election is called.

Oscar-nominated Hollywood star Willem Dafoe is currently in Prague to film Nosferatu for director Robert Eggers, and the actor has taken the time to sample some of the Czech capital’s highly-rated culinary offerings.
That includes some Ukrainian borsch served by the aptly-named Vinohrady bistro The Borsch. Dafoe recently tried some of the classic Ukrainian dishes at the Prague 2, and was kind enough to pose for a couple Instagram pics outside the venue with owner Natalia Bas.
“Today a real film star visited us to try authentic Ukrainian borsch. Willem Dafoe told us that he likes borsch and as a proof eagerly ate a bowl of our tasty mushroom borsch,” The Borsch wrote on Instagram on Monday. “The owner cannot come to her senses after treating such an esteemed guest.”
The Borsch, by the way, is worth a visit even without the celebrity-spotting. At a time when food prices are soaring in Prague, a large helping (.4 liters) of borsch at the Vinohrady bistro still comes in at just 99 crowns. The venue offers both beef and vegetarian versions, the latter of which apparently comes recommend by Dafoe himself.
The restaurant was opened in 2021 by Natalia Bas and her husband Alex Martynov, who came to Prague from Ukraine four years prior. It became a cultural hub last year as a place for information and assistance to the many Ukrainian refugees in Prague who fled their home country following the Russian invasion.
“We’ve earned a lot of popularity, but unfortunately it’s for a sad reason,” Bas told Forbes last year. “Czechs are extremely nice people and they want to support us. Everyone who comes says a good word. A lot of people ask what they can do to help.”
Alongside Dafoe, actors Bill Skarsgård, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Emma Corrin are also in Prague to shoot Nosferatu for director Eggers. Production on the horror movie is currently taking place at Barrandov Studio, with location work at smaller towns outside of the Czech capital.
This isn’t Willem Dafoe‘s first trip to the Czech Republic. The actor previously attended the 2016 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, where he received a Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema and presented his film Pasolini, in which he stars as Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini.
Despite his long career, however, Dafoe hasn’t shot a movie in Prague prior to Nosferatu. The closest he came was in 2000, when he filmed Shadow of the Vampire in nearby Slovakia. He also memorably starred in 2014’s The Grand Budapest Hotel, which was partially inspired by Karlovy Vary’s Grandhotel Pupp.

Ledtec combines innovation and industry expertise to design and manufacture exclusive LED lighting solutions for mining, industrial, commercial and sports applications that are reliable and built to last.
How It All Started
Ledtec is a Perth-based LED lighting business that was established in 2016. Our founder developed an abundance of knowledge about LED lighting by being a part of the management team that launched the first LED lighting tower in the Australian mining industry. This experience enabled him to identify a gap in the market which was the need for a more robust, efficient, and affordable LED floodlight to replace the outdated metal halide and high-pressure sodium lamps commonly found on lighting towers across Australia. The answer to this need was the development of our KUE series floodlights, which marked the establishment of Ledtec.
How Its Going
Since then, we have rapidly grown into a team consisting of design, engineering, and sales specialists, all dedicated to achieving the Ledtec goal of providing LED lighting solutions wherever LED lighting would provide savings and more sustainable use of scarce resources for both existing projects and new builds. Our product range now stretches across the mining industrial, commercial, public area, and sports industries. Despite this expansion in our product range, we remain strongly committed to the continuous development of industry-leading LED lighting solutions that are not only the most robust, innovative, and fit-for-purpose LED fixtures available, but are also beneficial for the environment and provide our clients with long-term maintenance-free solutions that improve efficiency, productivity and maximise cost savings.
We Are Always Ready to Go Beyond the Extra Mile
The Ledtec team is consistently determined to work closely with every single client to deliver fast and personalised services from the concept stage of a project through to completion and beyond the final stages of lighting installation. Whatever lighting solution we put forward to you, we make sure stock is readily available for immediate dispatch to cause minimal or no downtime on your site. We employ only the best team who are always ready to answer any of your questions and concerns. Our LED light fixtures are all subject to stringent testing to ensure absolute compliance with Australian electrical safety standards, all of which is available through our growing network of Australia’s most reputable electrical wholesalers.
Building Strong & Enduring Relationships One Lighting Project At A Time
See What Our Clients Say About Us
Our reputation as a leader in the LED lighting industry is based on the quality of our products and services, and the word of our trusted clients.


Utah Went 10 Days With Zero Road Fatalities, UDOT Reports
Utah hasn’t gone more than seven days without road fatalities since Jan. 2016. That is until this last week when The Utah Department of Transportation reported Utah went 10 consecutive days with zero road fatalities.
“This is something that we can do,” said John Gleason, the public information officer for UDOT. “We just had 10 days without anyone dying on our roads. And if we can do 10 days, why can’t we do another 10 days? Why can’t we get through the end of the year through the holidays without a fatality? Too many people are dying on our roads and one is too many.”
The 10 days ended Monday night, with two fatalities on Utah roads — a semi-truck driver in Bountiful crashed into a pole on I-15 and a 11-year-old boy was killed while crossing the street in Pleasant Grove.
“That’s just incredibly tragic to think about a family that’s not going to be celebrating Christmas with their son, a brother. It’s just unthinkable this time of year.”
Around the holiday season there are even more distractions that can potentially affect drivers, Gleason said. Rushing home from work, last minute holiday shopping and traveling to celebrate with loved ones, just to name a few.
“The one important thing to remember is always focus on the road,” Gleason said. “If you take your attention off the road for even a second or two, the results can be catastrophic. It’s something we see far too many times and no one ever thinks it’s going to happen to them.”
While 88 percent of Utah drivers do wear seatbelts, the 12 percent that elect not to are the number one cause of road deaths in Utah.
“In 2018 we shouldn’t have to have this conversation anymore,” Gleason said. “But that’s still the number one cause of deaths on our roads — people not buckling up.”
Ten days with zero road deaths is an impressive accomplishment, Gleason said.
“To put things in perspective, Texas has had at least one person die on the roads every day since Nov. 7, 2000,” Gleason said. “So that’s a long stretch. And it does show that we’re doing some things we can all be proud of here, but there’s always more to do.”
Gleason said the UDOT has gone through educational efforts to encourage Utah drivers to buckle up — but efforts don’t end there.
“All of us know someone who doesn’t buckle up,” Gleason said. “Now it’s up to the rest of us to reach out to our mothers, our fathers, friends, who for whatever reason refuse to buckle up, and tell them that they need to do it.”

Do you want to make a true difference in the world? Dr. Ron Sider does. He has, since before he first published Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger in 1978. Despite a dramatic reduction in world hunger since then, 34,000 children still die daily of starvation and preventable disease, and 1.3 billion people, worldwide, remain in abject poverty. So, the professor of theology went back to re-examine the issues by twenty-first century standards. Finding that Conservatives blame morally reprehensible individual choices, and Liberals blame constrictive social and economic policy, Dr. Sider finds himself agreeing with both sides.
In this new look at an age-old problem, he offers not only a detailed explanation of the causes, but also a comprehensive series of practical solutions, in the hopes that Christians like him will choose to make a difference.

This richly illustrated volume adds immensely to the small but growing corpus of Eurasian Archaeology published in the English language. Comprised of thirty articles, the authors have focused on the Bronze Age, continuing to include the first millennium BC Early Iron Age, with a terminus of c. 500 AD. The geographic range extends from the far western great Hungarian plains, north to Fennoscandia, south to include northern Afghanistan and the Kalmyk steppes, and east to the Altai Mountains in western Mongolia. The arguments presented (drawn in the main from the 1998-99 European Archaeological Association sessions) embrace a wide range of topics including art, culture, textiles, metallurgy, mortuary customs, etc. The authors are as diverse in their origins as their works are in content, penning their research from England, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Russia, Sweden, and the United States. Each article is illustrated with line drawings, plates and photographs.

Aging means learning to live with dependence - physical, social, or spatial - and in this long process, which cannot even be measured in years, it is increasingly understood that aging is closely related to genetics, lifestyle, location, and socioeconomic group. Therefore, this very diverse process varies according to each individual, to different interests as well as abilities and preferences in the way of life.
However, avoiding generalizations, the concern with the aging of the population has become the agenda in different disciplines, including architecture. According to UN projections, almost a third of the population (32.5%) will be aged 65 or over in 2050. In Brazil, a projection by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) shows that the number of elderly people will exceed children and young people in 2031. By 2050, Brazil will be the sixth country in the world with the longest living.
In this sense, understanding architecture as an important tool to accommodate this growing user profile. Many studies and interventions have emerged through different approaches, not only of a spatial nature, but also of a social nature. In the conception of facilitators for daily activities, universal design strategies are created allowing accessibility and comfort in displacements, as well as closer relationships with natural elements — wind, sunlight, vegetation. However, in addition to these factors, subjective aspects are also taken into account, such as those related to integration, protection and independence, always seeking to strengthen social connections. The role of architecture in welcoming this public can be defined through spaces that increase the possibilities of active aging with quality of life, independence and sociability, that is, environments that integrate them among themselves and with society, far from segregation and stigmatization. Considering this context, it is possible to see two lines of action within architecture: the adaptation of existing buildings and the design of new projects with specific qualities.
Changes in existing buildings are being directly motivated by the aging of its residents. An interesting example is the apartment blocks in Ommoord, a residential neighborhood in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. After 30 years of its construction (1968), the buildings no longer met the necessary standards, as its resident population underwent a considerable demographic change. As a result, in 1999, Hans van der Heijden Architect was commissioned to update the buildings' technical performance as well as find an architectural solution for different resident profiles. In a co-design process that involved the inhabitants themselves and lasted 9 years, different strategies were drawn up to rethink the spatial organization of the building, as well as redistribute and section the apartments according to social groups. As a result, parts of the development were reserved for the elderly residents. For example, the ground floor and garages became health care facilities, and other garden-facing apartments and a community center were added. More stairs and elevators were installed to improve the accessibility of the upper apartments and to shorten the length of the access corridors.
A similar initiative took place in the Spanish town of San Andrés del Rabanedo. Under the command of the architect Oscar Miguel Ares Álvarez — the same author of this interesting project of housing for the eldery — the neighborhood of La Pinilla is being restored so that its inhabitants, 30% of whom are over 75 years old, can stay in their homes, neighborhood and family environment despite advanced age. We are talking about the renovation of approximately 500 houses, with the support of the regional government, to adapt and accommodate the elderly population. The decision is based on the idea of offering healthy aging to its inhabitants, reducing economic and social costs that entail the creation of homes adapted to their needs. For the architect, the home for the elderly must be compartmentalized, with lots of light and space to store objects that are part of their history and, above all, be accessible through the senses. Álvarez explains that the elderly not only have locomotor difficulties, but also sensorial difficulties, and architecture can stimulate them through color, light and texture, helping them to gain more autonomy.
However, in addition to the adaptations, new developments are being built under the assumptions of the 60+ user. They include serviced apartments, community housing and co-housing as some formulas that go beyond the traditional concept of the nursing home, distancing them from the possibility of institutionalization. The term known as Aging in Place encompasses the typologies mentioned above and, in general terms, allows housing to incorporate technologies that facilitate everyday life, without improvisation or adaptations, and also without looking like a clinic. Within the enterprise itself, in addition to spaces that encourage socialization among neighbors and the community in general, there are also service companies that offer emergency and intensive care. The BIOOS project, in Curitiba, developed by Ricardo Amaral Arquitetos Associados for the construction company Laguna, is an interesting example of this new format as it includes apartments exclusively for the elderly (60+), spaces for medical clinics and a basement with shops and services targeted to this audience.
There are still those who opt for an old age away from the urban chaos, as in the JIKKA project, built in Japan as a final abode for the clients — two women around sixty years old — with a social worker and a cook, and spaces designed like a primitive cabin.
In this line, developing the concept of shared housing, the German architect Matthias Hollwich, professor at the University of Pennsylvania, in his book New Aging: Live Smarter Now to Live Better Forever, presented the idea of flex living, apartments that have two entrance doors with two bedrooms connected by flexible space. With this typology, Hollwich seeks to offer a variety of arrangements like two friends living together or a resident and a caregiver.
Understanding architecture from the perspective of the “new seniors” has been a challenge, as this change refers to a paradigm shift. Many studies point out that aging in a healthy way is related to the idea of allowing people to age in conditions similar to those they have experienced throughout their lives and this seems to be the path that architecture should follow, whether adapting existing buildings or building new ones.

Sebastien Ogier stormed to his first victory of the FIA World Rally Championship’s all-new hybrid era, triumphing on Rally Spain while helping secure the manufacturers’ title for Toyota Gazoo Racing.
The eight-time champ, who’s been contesting a part-time WRC campaign for Toyota this season while he pursues his WEC sports car racing aspirations, took control of the season’s penultimate round when he posted a trio of fastest times on Saturday’s second leg of the all-asphalt event in the Costa Daurada hills west of Barcelona.
Ogier carried a 20.7s lead into Sunday’s final leg and could afford to negotiate the final four stages without taking excessive risks in his GR Yaris Rally1.
The 38-year-old Frenchman did exactly that, clinching the victory by 16.4s from Hyundai i20 N Rally1 driver Thierry Neuville to land his first triumph of the season and the first top-level WRC win for new-for-2022 co-driver Benjamin Veillas.
Watch Rally Spain highlights below:
Kalle Rovanpera, who became the youngest-ever WRC drivers’ champion earlier this month aged 22, made it a double podium for Toyota. The result secured the Japanese marque its second-successive manufacturers’ crown.
With one round to spare, the Jyvaskyla, Finland-based squad holds an unassailable 93-point lead over Hyundai Motorsport and can no longer be caught.
“It’s Benji’s first win so I am very happy for him,” said Ogier. “It’s fantastic to get this win because it was an important weekend for the team.
“It’s not always easy to achieve such results and this season has been very dominant, so congratulations to Toyota Gazoo Racing.”
Toyota Gazoo Racing team principal Jari-Matti Latvala added: “It’s great to secure the title here. The last rally in Japan is the home round for Toyota, so now we can be much more relaxed going there. If we can win there, we can have even bigger celebrations!”
Neuville grabbed the runner-up spot from Rovanpera late on Saturday afternoon and was poised for a tight final-day scrap with the young Finn. That battle never materialized, however, as Rovanpera punctured a left-front tire when he drove over a drainage hole in Sunday’s second stage. At the final control, 18.1s split the pair.
Hyundai entries locked out the remainder of the top five positions, with Ott Tanak finishing 44.0s back from the lead in fourth overall. The Estonian driver never quite found the sweet spot in terms of his car’s setup and trailed Rovanpera’s Yaris by 9.5s at the finish.
A disappointed Dani Sordo was 32.5s further back in his i20 N Rally1 after a mixed weekend on his home roads. He’s lacked pace until setup tweaks at Saturday’s midpoint service unlocked a sudden turn of speed. Unfortunately, those tweaks came too late for a tilt at the podium, and despite winning a couple of the smooth asphalt stages, the local hero was left to rue what could have been.
Also feeling dejected was sixth-placed Elfyn Evans. The Welshman felt he was lacking performance throughout the rally, and a puncture in his Toyota at the same place on the Riudecanyes stage as teammate Rovanpera compounded his woes.
Toyota development driver Takamoto Katsuta and M-Sport Ford’s Adrien Fourmaux were seventh and eighth. Both drivers gained a position at the expense of Fourmaux’s M-Sport teammate Craig Breen, who also had tire dramas after hitting a hole during Sunday morning’s opening loop.
Breen eventually finished ninth overall as his co-driver, fellow Irishman Paul Nagle, bowed into retirement from the sport’s top level on his 102nd WRC start. Pierre-Louis Loubet, also driving a Puma, completed the leaderboard.
In WRC2, the second tier of international rallying, Teemu Suninen ended his 2022 WRC2 victory drought with an assured drive to take the class win.
It was a case of third time lucky for the Finnish star, who’d come close to glory in Portugal and Finland, but was denied on both occasions with victory seemingly in his grasp. There was no stopping Suninen this time around, however, as he led almost from start to finish, in his Hyundai i20 N Rally2.
The Finn started Sunday’s four-stage finale 26.6s clear of second-placed Yohan Rossel. He was in no mood to compromise, either, and further extended that advantage to head home the French Citroen C3 driver by 32.5s.
In the battle for the WRC2 championship, Skoda Fabia Evo drivers Emil Lindholm and Kajetan Kajetanowicz finished fourth and sixth, respectively, ensuring that the fight will go down to the wire at next month’s Rally Japan. With dropped scores taken into account, both are effectively tied heading to the finale.
That finale sees Japan return to the WRC for the first time since 2010. Moving to an all-asphalt format for the first time, the Toyota City-based event takes place Nov. 10-13.

By Sal Leto (@letosal)
Here we are, the halfway point. There is, perhaps, no more important time to make the moves that will get you that all important victory. Only two teams on a bye this week but losing Deshaun Watson and Deandre Hopkins will leave a void, although that’s not something you would’ve said seven weeks ago. Let’s find the players to fill that void and the others to stay away from.
Blake Bortles @ Indianapolis Colts
Sorry, I knew that would come as a shock but I didn’t expect it would make you fall off your seat. Are you good? Ok then, let’s continue. Yes the game plan has been don’t let Bortles lose it for us up until now. But the Colts have given up 300+ yards in four of six games and 295 in one of the others. The Colts also have been quite generous in giving up points and yardage to RBs as well but there is another important factor here. In his last four games against Indy Bortles has 1,056 yards passing, seven pass TDs, two rush TDs and ZERO INTERCEPTIONS! Also, he targeted running backs 14 times week ago. Not to mention Fournette comes into this game banged up which means if you need a Watson or Stafford fill in you could do worse than taking a shot with Bortles.
Jameis Winston/Ryan Fitzpatrick @ Buffalo Bills
It’s week seven and the Bills have given up two passing touchdowns all year and have two interceptions in four of their five games as well. Those totals at home are zero touchdowns and four interceptions in two games. Jameis Winston’s still hurt but if he thinks he can play it’s a poor decision for the Bucs or you to start him. If it’s Fitzpatrick and you put him in there have your head examined.
Joe Mixon @ Pittsburgh Steelers
If you act quickly you still might be able to buy him cheap. Going into the bye week it was clear that Mixon was taking over lead back duties. His snap percentage grew quite a bit over the last three weeks. Coming out of the bye, I fully expect the workload increase was to get him ready to join his 2017 classmates Fournette, Hunt and McCaffrey as weekly starters. Two weeks ago at home the Steelers gave 181 rush yards and two TDs to Fournette and in week three it was 138 rush yards and two TDs to Jordan Howard. Look for Mixon to be the next young guy leaned on to lead his team vs. Pittsburgh.
Adrian Peterson @ Los Angeles Rams
If you listen to the FLAFFL House podcast you know I have steadfastly said all AP needs is volume. Well he got it in his first start with Arizona to the tune of 26 carries 134 yards and two TDs. This week the league’s worst run defense rolls out the red carpet for Peterson. The Rams have given up over 1,000 yards to running backs, 732 of which was on the ground. Oh, and a league high nine touchdowns to RBs as well. Last week wasn’t a last hurrah it was the start of his season.
Samaje Perine @ Philadelphia Eagles
Some may see Perine had a top 17 PPR performance last week and think he may be a good play. However, the Eagles have given up only 240 rush yards to running backs through six weeks. That’s 40 yards a game. In week one they gave up a total of 34 to Chris Thompson and Rob Kelley so there’s no reason to believe that Perine will make a difference here. Philly is actually the only team in the league giving up more yards receiving than rushing to running backs and that means this should be a game heavily featuring Thompson.
Andre Ellington @ Los Angeles Rams
Man, he disappeared quickly. Looking like the beneficiary of a vacant backfield for a few weeks Ellington busted out with back to back nine reception games on 14 and 10 targets. AP showed up and he had one target and zero receptions. Yes, it is a good matchup but I’m not convinced he’ll be on the field much after seeing a season low 20% of snaps a week ago.
Pierre Garçon vs Dallas Cowboys
A week ago he was on the sink list and with just cause. This week I say plug him back in. Garcon is sixth in the league in targets through six weeks. I expect with the young QB taking over we will quickly find out who the most reliable receiver in the offense is. This is also a good spot to see his TD drought come to an end as Dallas has given up eight touchdowns to wide receivers in five games.
Bennie Fowler vs Los Angeles Chargers
You want a sneaky good play for Week 7 look no further than Fowler. In week one he had a two touchdown game against these Chargers. Now he’ll face them as the number two receiver with Emmanuel Sanders missing the game. LA has given up nine touchdowns to wide receivers which is tied for second worst in the league. Not to mention they give up an average of over 36 PPR points to wideouts as well.
Donte Moncrief vs Jacksonville Jaguars
Remember when all he did was catch touchdowns? Last week he dropped one in the end zone that was in both hands. He did see seven targets and pulled in five of them for 67 yards vs Tennessee Monday night. Coming into this week at WR 70 on the year with one TD doesn’t sit well against the league best Jags and their one WR touchdown on the season.
Austin Hooper @ New England Patriots
Who would have thought the super bowl champs would become the defense against which all your players would get right? The Patriots are right there with the Giants, Browns and Ravens as teams to start any tight end against. With five touchdowns (and a terrible reversal) [Editor’s Note: False. Clearly it wasn’t a touchdown] through six games this is a solid match up to exploit.
Jason Witten @ San Francisco 49ers
We found it! The one thing the Niners are good at doing. Stopping opposing tight ends. San Fran is tied for best in the league in relinquishing only seven PPR points per week to the big boys. After flying out of the gate in week one and two, Witten barely registered a blip in week three and four. I expect pedestrian numbers this week and there are much better match up plays at the position.

In addition to passing resolutions, the Dunkirk Common Council hears from various people, including other city officials, at its meetings. Such was the case at its most recent meeting as several topics were covered by speakers.

City resident and former councilman James Muscato addressed Common Council recently. One of his concerns was the absence of any city official at a recent Flag Day ceremony.
With First Ward Councilman Michael Michalski serving as at-large member in the absence of Councilwoman-at-Large Stephanie Kiyak, council heard a concern from a former council member and veteran.
James Muscato told council during the privilege of the floor he was speaking because several people had taken notice of something missing from the June 14 Flag Day ceremonies held put on at the Light House by the Elks Club.
"The Elks Club does an outstanding job. One thing that was noticeable this year, there was not one city official there," Muscato stated. "Going back in time, I'm going back quite a bit because they used to hold them on Central Avenue at the club rooms; there has always been city officials attending. This particular one, ... there was not one city official there and I know they were invited. Just take it for what it's worth."
City resident Harriet "Skeeter" Tower spoke on several issues during her turn, starting by thanking council for continuing the bike trail.
"I think that was very important for the city," she said. "I want to thank you for choosing the two houses for the land bank in our Academy Heights neighborhood. We were very excited to hear those two houses would be moving onto the tax roll."
She added thanks to the city and Second Ward Councilman William Rivera in particular for his efforts in getting an abandoned house at 209 Swan St. demolished before asking about the community garden application she filed.
"It's been in the works for a while and we'd like to move ahead on that project," she stated.
During his report time, Mayor Anthony J. Dolce responded.
"I'd like to compliment you Skeeter, you are the first application we received for the program," he said. "We will be looking at your application shortly, then we can proceed."
City resident Nick Penque told council he has been elected the new chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee.
"I just want to welcome the council and hope that we can work together and get a lot done, and the same with all other city officials," Penque stated.
Dolce congratulated Penque and noted a meeting has been set for June 28 to, "brainstorm and go over some things we can do collaboratively."
Dolce also complimented and thanked the sponsors of the festivals "for getting us going on another great festival season." He also had compliments for the Development Department.
"It takes a lot of time and effort to put these things on and we continue to work at other pressing matters in development, as well as the fun stuff," the mayor said.
In addition to approving three grant applications at the meeting, council also approved two other resolutions.
Resolution 56-2012 approved five members to the Dunkirk Industrial Development Agency effective immediately. First Ward Councilman Michael Michalski and City Clerk Lacy Lawrence were appointed along with city residents James Oddo, Thomas Murphy and Anthony Popielarz. They joined Development Director Steven Neratko, who will serve as chairman.
Dolce asked Neratko to talk about the resolution before the vote on the members who serve at the pleasure of the appointing authority.
"We needed to reform this board at this time, basically to comply with Public Officers Authority's requirements," Neratko explained. "It's time to file our annual documentation and to do so we needed to have the board."
After the meeting, Dolce added to the explanation.
"We needed to get an active board together if something comes up," he stated. "These individuals have some wonderful business experience, reputable members of the community, and I felt they would be a great addition. If something were to come up, we even considered if it was worth it keeping the board active, forming another board since the other board was not active.
"Development Director Neratko reached out to the county and they felt it best to keep the board active in case something did come up ... The IDA owns the property the Clarion sits on so that was another reason why we felt it would be best to form an active board."
Council voted to extend the tax collection agreement between the city and Chautauqua County to cover the tax years of 2012 and 2013 under Resolution 55-2012. The resolution continues the agreement between the city and county which took effect in 2010.

The special counsel indictment of Russian election meddling reveals new details of the operation indicating the covert “information warfare” operation was targeted at preventing the election of Hillary Clinton.
The 13 Russians and a front company charged in the federal grand jury indictment were part of a sophisticated covert influence campaign aimed at the 2016 presidential election and sowing political discord in the United States.
The Russians, along with two funding entities and the internet troll group called Internet Research Agency, were charged with eight criminal counts under four federal laws, including conspiracy, in seeking to disrupt the U.S. political system, including the 2016 presidential election.
The indictment, however, did not provide new intelligence linking the Moscow government to an organization behind the coordinated scheme called Operation Lakhta, which used American social media and other outlets for political influence activities.
The indictment revealed that intelligence and law enforcement agencies first learned of the election meddling plans in the summer of 2014—two years earlier than the claims of a recent U.S. intelligence assessment.
The indictment outlining the sophisticated election meddling plan contrasts with the January 2017 intelligence assessment produced by the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency.
That assessment differs slightly from the indictment in stating clearly that the influence operation was ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2016.
Regarding Russian backing of Trump, the assessment said the Russians wanted to help Trump to win by discrediting Clinton in her bid for the White House, a judgment the CIA and FBI voiced high confidence in, but the NSA gauged with only moderate confidence.
