Artificial Intelligence has been making waves in the creative field lately. From generating music to creating art, AI is flexing its creative powers like never before. But with great power comes great responsibility, right? In early 2023, Getty Images filed a lawsuit against an AI generator that was suspected of using unlicensed Getty Images pics to create AI images. While the resulting images don’t have any copyright, the photos used to make them had copyright licenses that weren’t followed. Even if you’re producing it from a source that you trust like Adobe, technically US law has ruled that no AI art can be copyrighted, so that’s not protective which raises some issues if you’re producing works for clients or at an organization.
While AI brings a whole new level of innovation and inspiration to the table, we can’t ignore the legal maze of copyright issues it drags along. But let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater, right? With some thoughtful regulations and a sprinkle of creativity, we might just find a way to make AI and copyright play nice together in this ever-evolving creative landscape. As someone who has spent countless hours of my life scraping through stock photography sites that just don’t have the image I need while I just don’t have the budget for a photoshoot, it sure would be nice to just type in a prompt and get what I need. But that’s pretty shitty for the photographers, isn’t it?
There’s still a lot of questions. How does someone prove their art was used or that AI was even used at all? How do artists protect their work from being used to generate AI artwork? Does AI have to respect that when scraping our works that are out on the web? All of us are inspired by other works and find things that we incorporate in our own way into a project. We’re especially inspired by a lot of art through history. Is there a difference between that and AI using digital works available out in search engines and public websites to build their imagery? Is imitation still the greatest form of flattery if it’s done by a machine? It seems the courts have an opinion on that for now, but I doubt that’s the end of it.

Musk temporarily banned likes, replies, and retweets in April if a tweet contained a link to Substack, the newsletter platform. After complaints, Musk then reversed that change.
Twitter is preventing users from viewing tweets and profiles on its website unless they are signed in, a move that owner Elon Musk described as “temporary.”
When an unregistered person attempts to view a tweet, the site prompts them to check in or create an account with Twitter. Users may still see tweets that showed in Google searches or were integrated on other websites as of Friday.
Musk described it as a “temporary emergency measure” to prevent individuals from scraping the site for tweet data. “We were getting so much data pillaged that it was degrading service for normal users!”
Twitter has historically relied on the accessibility of its tweets across the web to create interest in the site, such as when users send tweets to friends or contacts who do not have accounts.
Musk has implemented a number of product adjustments since taking over the San Francisco-based company last year. Twitter began charging for access to its application programming interface, or API, in March. In addition to academic researchers, prominent third-party programs such as the now-defunct Tweetbot and Twitterific exploited Twitter’s API. Customers are being charged $42,000 a month to access only 1% of tweets on Twitter.

Centerplan Cos. CEO Bob Landino confirms a potential $10.3 million overrun on Dunkin’ Donuts Park, new home of the Hartford Yard Goats (Class AA; Eastern League), and warns of a later opening date.
Last week Hartford city officials asked the developer, Centerplan Cos., and its affiliate DoNo Hartford LLC to provide an update on ballpark progress, as the Hartford Stadium Authority warned that the project was over budget and running late based on developer feed back. Landino confirmed both in a Dec. 23 letter, saying that the city has breached its contract with Centerplan and there needs to be a plan to address cost and scheduling issues. The city, as you might expect, felt blindsided by the information: no change order had been filed with the city (which is handling the actual ballpark construction), and given that the city made it clear there were no funds to cover cost overruns, the issue of more money for the project is surprising. From the Hartford Courant:
An official with Centerplan submitted documents Thursday to members of the authority, the quasi-public group formed to own and finance the ballpark. The records included a revised schedule of anticipated costs to complete the stadium. Centerplan is part of a group of ballpark developers collectively known as DoNo Hartford LLC.
“We need to have dialogue and cooperation with the team and with the city,” Landino said in a telephone message Thursday.
I. Charles Mathews, chairman of the stadium authority, said he was baffled that Centerplan had come up with $10.3 million in possible overruns but had never filed a change order, which are common during construction projects of this size.
From what it sounds like there are plenty of issues here, some related to fast-tracking the project (construction began less than a year ago) and some related to design challenges; reportedly the right-field area needed to be changed after concrete was laid when Minor League Baseball refused to sign off on a shorter-than-regulation home-run fence. You have six entities at play here: the architect (Pendulum), team ownership, its consultants (International Facilities Group), the developer and affiliates (Centerplan), the Hartford Stadium Authority and the city. Assigning blame and/or responsibility for cost overruns is going is complicated, to be sure, and coming up with $10.3 million in additional finds will be a tremendous challenge.

In a smartphone-dominated world, classic button models have not yet said their last word. Recently, they are experiencing a renaissance. Older people and younger individuals are buying them more and more often, using them as a digital detox when they want to take a break from social networks and the internet.
According to the analytical server Statista, the demand for ‘dumb’ phones has sharply declined for several years. Even though analysts predict it won’t be different in the coming years, this year’s sales have practically leveled with last year’s. Sales numbers can be expected to grow even before the end of the year.
The Nation server pointed out that last year in the USA, the demand for smartphones fell by 20% due to high inflation. This is reportedly one of the reasons why users are increasingly resorting to buying button models.
The growing interest in button mobiles is documented by the HMD Global company, which supplies Nokia brand devices to the market. According to company representatives, for example, the interest in flip button phones without an operating system doubled in 2022, and further growth is expected this year.
One of the main reasons the manufacturer introduces a new button model to the market practically every year is the Nokia 2660 Flip, which premiered in the summer. During the fall, it presented itself in new colors. This flip-button mobile is now available in pink and green.
The phone is an excellent alternative for users who want to take a break from modern technologies or appreciate a secondary phone with great endurance. It will also find its fans among the older generation, who enjoy large buttons and a spacious display.


Sustainable Transportation Energy Pathways (STEPS), Alumni Theses and Dissertations
Gettani, Duaa and Lewis Fulton (2017) A High Shift Scenario: Achieving Low-Carbon Urban Transport in the Middle East and North Africa. Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Davis, Research Report UCD-ITS-RR-17-06
Around the world, within urban and metropolitan areas, transport systems play a key role in economic development and serving the economic and social needs of society by providing mobility and access. But they also contribute to problems. In particular the growth in private automobile use has triggered widespread traffic problems and high levels of pollutant and CO2 emissions in most large cities in the world. In contrast, the use of public transit (bus, rail) and “active” (walking, cycling) transport systems can help mitigate these effects while simultaneously providing equal or even better mobility options across societal groups – if the right investments are made and high quality, safe systems put into place.
In this paper we consider a specific region (Middle East and North Africa – MENA) and explore whether and how much a major expansion in high quality urban public transit and infrastructure for active transport there could reduce urban transport emissions and increase mobility and accessibility. We also look at the costs of building such systems and compare these costs to a “status quo” world of car and roadway domination. The paper builds upon a recent analysis examining a “High Shift” scenario worldwide (ITDP and UC Davis, 2015) and creates a “higher granularity” scenario focused on MENA. This paper also extends the overall analysis of urban population growth beyond the previous study.
We undertake this analysis using an urban transport projection system linked to the IEA Mobility Model. We create two scenarios. In the first, we rely on the IEA baseline urban travel projection to 2050 based on recent trends, including a continued strong rise in car ownership as incomes rise. In a second scenario, we create a High Shift Scenario exploring the implications of shifting urban passenger transportation investment and travel patterns in a more sustainable direction, with far more transit and active transport use. We then estimate the costs, energy use and CO2 emissions of these scenarios. Supplementary analysis has been added to create a deeper picture for the MENA region. Finally we discuss the types of policies that would be needed to bring about this alternative “High Shift” future.
Among the deeper analysis conducted for the MENA region beyond the original “High Shift” global study were a) the construction of an updated database of kilometers of urban transit systems (Metro, BRT, Rail, Tram/LRT) by city within the region to create a baseline picture, b) the comparison of this data to other indicators such as population by city to assess the level of provision across the region, and compare to other regions, and c) development of targets for provision of future systems and for system lengths. We created targets for rapid transit system growth (measured as system lengths and capacity) in MENA that are roughly in line with cities (mostly in Europe) that have more expansive transit systems today, with regional differences factored in.Finally, this analysis provides a particular focus on one potential policy: the removal of inefficient fuel subsidies in MENA and redirection of these subsidies to help pay the costs of needed investments in the high shift scenario. This could provide a strong boost to efforts to shift future urban travel towards sustainable transport in the region.

31 May Inside the Music Mind of Journalist, Garret K. Woodward
The Music Industry is full of creative people. From the musicians on stage playing music to the artists that make the posters that the promoters use to get people to the music venues. All the different people involved in making the music industry work have skill sets to be celebrated.
When it comes to getting the word out about music and helping talent shine around the world, nothing is quite as important as the music journalist/music critic and we’re not just saying that because we are a music publication. The ability to craft words in a way that will ignite the imagination, keep the attention and get the point across is no easy feat. When a writer can achieve all of that while honestly dissecting a performance, (be it recorded or live) in a way that brings true value to the reader and the musician, those are the types of writers to celebrate.
I learned about Garret Woodward when I moved to Asheville NC. The well known writer has been the arts/music editor for The Smoky Mountain News and Smoky Mountain Living Magazine and had covered some of my friends in Western Carolinas. To keep up with his local coverage, I began following him on social media. Even his posts about eating late night breakfast at Waffle House seemed artist and crafted to be published. It was no surprise when Rolling Stone magazine brought Garret on as a contributing writer, profiling artists and covering renowned festivals including Bonnaroo, FloydFest, MerleFest and DelFest.
Woodward’s work is worth the read and his recent book, “If You Can’t Play, Get Off The Stage: Bluegrass In Western North Carolina And Beyond” showcases the linguistic skills that led us to wanting to feature him on Music Minds as a music critic. We are grateful for Garrets willingness to speak with us.
MM: WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WORK IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY?
GW: I’ve been obsessed with music my entire life. Growing up in the North Country, I always had headphones on with my handheld CD player or sitting in my childhood bedroom in an old farmhouse and listening to the radio all night. Music has always been at the core of my existence, especially when performed live. I’ve been going to shows constantly since I was 12 years old, begging my parents to take me to see bands all over Upstate New York and Vermont, and over the Canadian Border in nearby Montreal, Quebec. Once I got my driver’s license at 16, I was off and running, never home and always chasing down the next show. My first job was working breakfast and lunch grill at McDonald’s in high school, where my entire paycheck was spent on concert tickets and gas to get to the concerts. And all during this time, I was a die-hard subscriber to Rolling Stone magazine, eagerly devouring every single issue from cover to cover. I also watched MTV’s “Total Request Live” every single day after-school. All I did, and still do, is talk about music, about shows and bands I love, albums that inspire me. Towards the end of high school, I decided that I wanted to be like Carson Daly, the host of TRL. I wanted to work for MTV and host TRL, live and work in New York City, interviewing musicians and premier new music videos. When I was a junior in high school in 2002, my mom had a friend whose daughter worked for MTV2, so my mom brought me down to New York City to get a private tour of MTV Studios, where I wandered around the TRL set, and even got my picture taken in that legendary photo booth. I walked out of the studios that day changed forever. I knew I wanted to be in the music industry. Thus, I ended up going to school for broadcast journalism at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. I learned all about being on TV, reading a teleprompter, writing for the ear, and so on, which is mainly why my print style is very conversational, seeing as my earliest writing instruction was to write for the ear and not the eye. But, in the summer of 2005, two things happened. I went to my first Bonnaroo and I read Jack Kerouac’s seminal novel “On the Road.” Bonnaroo was my first solo road trip of that size, from New York to Tennessee. And I had “On the Road” in tow to keep me company. I remember exact day, June 10, 2005, when I was reading the book in my hot, muggy tent at ‘Roo. It was like a lightning bolt hit me, where all of a sudden I had this thought pop up in my mind — I’m going to be a writer. The book changed the entire trajectory of my life. I wanted to run around America and have adventures like Sal Paradise. I wanted to make all kinds of odd and eccentric friends and do all kinds of wild things, and all the while scribbling it all down in notebooks. So, when I got back to college for my junior year, I shifted my major from broadcast journalism to broadcast/print journalism, a kind of hybrid subject that I was able to create and inhabit as my field of study. Also during my junior year, I had to find an internship or else I couldn’t graduate. While home on spring break in March 2006, I ended up at the snoe.down music festival in Lake Placid, New York. It was there I met this guy who was a mutual friend of one of my friends I hanging out with at the show that night. His name was Mike McKinley and he was the founder/publisher of State of Mind Music Magazine out of Burlington, Vermont. I was having trouble finding an internship before I headed back to school after spring break. I couldn’t find anything for the upcoming summer in the North Country. No TV or radio opportunities anywhere. Thus, Mike offered me an internship right then and there at snoe.down with State of Mind. So, I jumped on it. I didn’t know the first thing about writing, let alone the magazine industry, but I didn’t care. I wanted to be in the music industry. I’d figure it out, somehow. Although State of Mind is no longer around, what I learned there from Mike and from that experience remains at the foundation of who I am — as a writer, a journalist, and someone who has now worked in the music industry for about 15 years.
MM: WHO WAS THE FIRST MUSICIAN/BAND/EVENT THAT YOU EVER INTERVIEWED?
GW: My first interview was with bluegrass legend Peter Rowan, the “cosmic cowboy” himself. It was in the fall of 2006. I was a senior in college and tracked Peter down at the Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton, Massachusetts. I had successfully completed my summer internship with State of Mind Music Magazine, and now I was looking to do more than just album/show reviews. I felt ready to write a big feature story. State of Mind founder/publisher Mike McKinley said he had space for me in the December 2006 issue. So, I pitched him the story idea of a feature interview with Peter. He gave me the green light. On a cold, rainy November night, I wandered up to the Iron Horse from my college in Connecticut. We sat in an old boiler room in the basement of the venue, which was the green room for the artists, and had a great conversation about Peter’s early years playing with the “Father of Bluegrass,” Bill Monroe, his time with Jerry Garcia in the all-star bluegrass group Old and in the Way, and his global wanderings as an ambassador of music, storytelling, and, in essence, love between us all. When my article was published, I remember sitting in a Burger King on the outskirts of Burlington and seeing my first real deal by-line, holding up a fresh copy of State of Mind with the Rowan feature spread across multiple pages. I was 21 years old and standing at the starting line of my dreams. Something arose within me in that moment that still holds true — that this is what I want to do with my life, talk with folks and share their stories with the world. That ethos, passion and drive within me is stronger now than ever before.
MM: IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS OF A GREAT MUSIC JOURNALIST OR JUST A GREAT WRITER?
GW: The elements of a “great” music journalist or writer resides in the sincerity of the interaction. If you truly want to be sitting there in that moment, in that conversation with a musician, then the interview will be that much more in-depth and honest. Purity of the interaction occurs when you focus on the subject before you with your full attention. That, and ask the real questions you really want to pose. Don’t ask roundabout, generic questions. Actually interact with the person within the essence of two human beings learning about each other. To that point, showing sincerity and honest vulnerability to your subject tends to breed a two-way conversation that parlays itself into a memorable interview — for you, for the musician, and for the reader. Also, do you research. I will repeat that again — do you research. Be prepared and knowledgable on that subject you’re interviewing. There’s nothing more of an interview train wreck than if you enter into a conversation without a healthy knowledge of the musician — their past and present endeavors, backstory, and so on. It’s all about respect being given from both sides of the conversation. If that musician is willing to meet you and give you some of their precious time, especially if they’re on tour, then make it worthwhile for them to do so. All of this results in lifelong relationships with these musicians, managers, publicists, record labels, and so forth. The more respect you show this industry, the further and farther you can find yourself living your dream in real time.
MM: WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A YOUNG FAN THAT WANTS TO WORK IN MUSIC JOURNALISM?
GW: The best advice is that if you really, truly want to become a music journalist, then you have to have that internal conversation with yourself that — come hell or high water — this is what you honestly want to do with your life. When you secure that within you, then everything else is just details. There are so many obstacles in music journalism, just like there are in trying to become a full-time professional musician. Many people want to be successful in this industry, but few actually do find stable ground. And each of those who found success will tell you to not give up, because usually it’s right at your emotional and financial threshold that things tend to start working in your favor. You will grind away to your wits’ end, and if you do that and still get excited for the next assignment, the next adventure, then this is your true path. Also, chase down any and all leads or possible assignments and publications. Nothing will ever unfold for you unless you’re doing the leg work to make the magic happen. Send the emails. Come up with the ideas. Pitch. Pitch. Pitch. Be confident in your aspirations. Your dreams won’t just knock on your door. You have to walk out the front door every single in search of opportunities. And network all the time. Give out your business card. Ask for their card. Because you never know who will remember you when they may need you for an assignment or project. As they say, “preparation + opportunity = luck.”
MM: WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ARE THE PEAK EXPERIENCES OF YOUR CAREER?
GW: Out of the thousands of interviews and stories I’ve done over my 15-year career, some of the true high-water marks are as follows: conducting the last interview with legendary rock singer Scott Weiland just before he sadly passed away, sitting down at a barbecue joint and interviewing Dave Grohl over beers during a snowstorm on my first assignment with Rolling Stone, interviewing Brandi Carlile in Doc Watson’s dressing room backstage at MerleFest, doing an onstage Q&A panel with Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads and Adrian Belew at FloydFest about the 40th anniversary of the “Remain in Light” album, and covering one of the last “Midnight Rambles” at Levon Helm’s house near Woodstock before he left us. Those specific moments really stick out as “pinch me now” moments, though, I must say, that feeling of excitement and curiosity has never escaped me when I’m on assignment, even to this very day.
MM: FOR THE SERIOUS WRITERS OF THE WORLD, IS THERE A PRO TIP YOU ARE WILLING TO SHARE?
GW: Do your research. Be prepared in your knowledge of the subject at hand. And be kind — kindness breeds kindness, as does patience.
MM: IF YOU COULD INTERVIEW ANY ARTIST(S), LIVE OR DEAD, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
GW: Joe Walsh and/or Willie Nelson. Willie for obvious reasons of the legend and lore that resides within his incredible life. With Walsh, I find him so captivating, in conversation and in his backstory of how he was one of the few rockstars to ride the most dangerous of lifestyle rollercoasters, and yet was able to find himself and remain a real deal ambassador of rock-n-roll. Joe seems like someone I could sit down and have a genuine conversation with for hours. I do hope to someday have that opportunity.
MM: WHO ARE YOUR BIGGEST INSPIRATIONS OF ALL TIME AND WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST OF THEIR WORK FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING INTRODUCED TO THEM?
GW: In terms of writing, my biggest inspirations have been the works of Jack Kerouac, Hunter S. Thompson, Charles Bukowski, Larry McMurtry and Jay McInerney. Music writer-wise? David Fricke of Rolling Stone, he continues to inspire and thrill me. In terms of writing itself, I’ve found that Stephen King’s “On Writing” book a pillar of my existence, a template for any and all endeavors of the written word, and also the struggle to succeed. “On Writing” should be required reading for anyone who wants to become a writer.
MM: IN ALL YOUR TRAVELS, WHAT IS THE BEST MEAL YOU EVER HAD?
GW: Probably that one time I was in Ireland and found myself staying in this tiny farm community one random evening. The grocery store was closed, as were all the pubs. But, the only thing that was still open was this Indian restaurant. I wandered in and was the only customer in the entire place. I ate like a king, some of the most incredible Indian food that I’ve ever come across, but it was more so of being in that absurd moment of time and space amid the grand scheme of things in this wild, wondrous universe.
MM: COFFEE, TEA OR JUICE?
Garret K. Woodward is the arts/music editor for The Smoky Mountain News and Smoky Mountain Living magazine, both based out of Waynesville, North Carolina.

AP Source: Flyers give Weber 14-year offer sheet
The Sports Network in Canada first reported the offer.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the Flyers hadn’t announced the offer.
Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren confirmed early Thursday that the Flyers did sign Weber to an offer sheet. He gave no further details. The Predators issued a statement late Thursday morning confirming they had received the Flyers‘ offer sheet, which gives the team seven days to make a decision on matching the deal or letting the defenseman go.
“We have stated previously that, should a team enter into an offer sheet with Shea, our intention would be to match and retain Shea,” Predators general manager David Poile said. “Our ownership has provided us with the necessary resources to build a Stanley Cup-winning team. Due to the complexity of the offer sheet, we will take the appropriate time to review and evaluate it, and all of its ramifications, in order to make the best decision for the Predators in both the short and long-term.”
Nashville already lost free-agent defenseman Ryan Suter to Minnesota this summer, and losing Weber would be an unexpected blow to a defense-first team that had 104 points last season, took the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference and advanced to the second round of the playoffs.
Meanwhile, Weber would fill the void left by Philadelphia defenseman Chris Pronger’s absence. Pronger _ a key cog in the Flyers‘ run to the 2010 Stanley Cup finals as a No. 7 seed _ has been battling concussion problems and missed most of last season. He finished with one goal in 13 games as the Flyers bowed out in the second round to New Jersey after a promising, 103-point regular season. The Flyers were exposed on defense in that five-game, Round 2 loss to the rival Devils, and since have lost defenseman Matt Carle, who snared a six-year, $33 million deal with Tampa Bay.
Weber would fix a lot of problems for a Flyers team that allowed 44 goals in just 11 postseason games. He is a three-time All Star who helped Canada win gold in the 2010 Olympics, and is also is the mainstay of the Predators’ defensive-minded approach. He is coming off a season in which he turned in a career-best plus-21 rating. Weber was sixth among NHL defensemen in scoring, as well, last year.
He also had a career-high 22 points on the power play, and led all NHL defensemen with 10 power-play goals.
The Predators said they had the money to keep Weber and Suter after signing goalie Pekka Rinne to a seven-year, $49 million deal last November. But Poile couldn’t keep Suter in town despite team officials thinking they had a good chance to keep their top draft pick in 2003. The Wild not only snagged Suter, but also agreed with forward Zach Parise, Suter’s good friend who left New Jersey for a similar deal to Suter‘s, a month after leading the Devils to the Stanley Cup finals.
Nashville took Weber, the team’s fourth pick in the second round in that same 2003 draft, to arbitration a year ago and couldn’t take the restricted free agent there again this summer.
The Flyers would love to make a splash after losing out on Suter and Parise. They lost Carle and forward Jaromir Jagr, who left for Dallas, and traded one of their former cornerstones in forward James van Riemsdyk to Toronto.
Clearly, Philadelphia is in a position of need. The Flyers need help on the backline, they have watched teams around them in the East get better, and are still smarting from consecutive exits in the second round. Not to mention, last summer, Holmgren pulled off the stunning deals to get rid of high-priced forwards Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, and the two ended up helping Los Angeles to the Stanley Cup last month.

One civil liberties event that influenced a sense of social responsibility in the American government today was March for Our Lives. This event, which took place on March, 24, 2018, included rallies across the United States, with the main rally in Washington, DC (Shabad, Bailey, & McCausland, 2018). It was organized by students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida after a mass shooting occurred at the school. One of the main messages of the marchers was that there should be greater restrictions on the right to gun ownership (Shabad et al., 2018), which is one of the civil liberties enumerated in the Constitution. Around the country, state and local leaders responded in a socially responsible manner by proposing or enacting gun control legislation, including an assault weapons ban in Boulder, Colorado, and a law in Delaware to allow police to take weapons from individuals considered a danger to themselves or others (Haynes, 2018). At the federal level, lawmakers have reacted by proposing gun control legislation, but Congress has not taken action (Haynes, 2018).
Another civil liberties event that influenced a sense of social responsibility in the American government today was the significant increase in physical assaults on journalists in the United States in 2017 (Fletcher, 2018). This raised concerns in the government regarding the protection of freedom of the press, which is one of the civil liberties protected by the First Amendment. In response, a federal lawmaker, Eric Swalwell, introduced the Journalist Protection Act in the House of Representatives (Fletcher, 2018), which would make assaulting a journalist who is gathering or reporting news a federal crime (Fletcher, 2018). Although the bill has not passed, twelve other lawmakers have responded ethically by cosponsoring the bill (Fletcher, 2018).
One media event that negatively affected the public’s opinion of a government agency was the coverage of the Trump Administration’s 2018 policy of separating parents and children at the US-Mexico border. The media broadcast photos and videos of children in detention centers, as well as audio of children crying for their parents. This coverage led to a decline in the public perception of the Immigration and Customers Enforcement agency (ICE). The negative reaction suggests that the American people believe that the government agency should be responsible for protecting the US border, but this responsibility should not be so broad as to include the cruel treatment of children and families. Indeed, in the aftermath of the media coverage, many Americans have been calling for ICE to be abolished and that the responsibility of protecting the border be delegate to another government agency that would act in a more humane manner when dealing with the issue of family immigration.
Another media event that negatively affected the public’s opinion of a government agency was the coverage of the Hurricane Katrina disaster response in 2005. After Hurricane Katrina, there were months of media coverage of the destruction caused by the storm, the loss of life and property, and the significant challenges faced by the survivors. In particular, the media criticized the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for its failures before, during, and after the hurricane (Ahlers, 2006). This strong criticism from the media facilitated the development of negative perceptions of FEMA among the American people. After being exposed to the media coverage of the crisis, the public perception was that FEMA, as a government agency, has a significant obligation to the American people in terms of disaster response, and it failed to fulfill this responsibility during and after Hurricane Katrina.
One difference between the Republican and Democratic parties that may have an ethical impact on the American people is that they have different approaches to the issue healthcare. Specifically, the Republican Party states that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been “a disaster” and that it must be repealed and replaced (GOP, 2018). However, Republicans have been unable to articulate a clear replacement that can get through Congress. In contrast, the Democratic Party’s approach includes specific ideas to build on and improve the ACA. This difference has ethical implications for the American people because it means that Republicans have refused to settle for anything less than abolishing the ACA, but they have not been able to present and enact such as solution. This is a morally questionable situation because it has meant that the problems with the existing healthcare system are not being fixed, which is having negative financial and health impacts on the America people.
Another difference between the Republican and Democratic parties that may have an ethical impact on the American people is that the Republican Party has a placed a heavier focus on shaping the judicial branch than the Democratic Party. Recognizing the role that judges, especially those on the Supreme Court, can play in shaping American life, Republicans have cultivated a group of strong conservative judges, and they have encouraged their voters to cast their presidential ballots based on the president’s ability to nominate judges (Toobin, 2017). This approach was not adopted by the Democratic Party, and it has resulted in a situation of growing Republican control of the federal judiciary (Toobin, 2017). This could present ethical concerns for the American people because judges are traditionally non-ideological, but the Republican Party’s focus on the courts has rendered this less true in recent years. In the future, this could negatively affect the best interests of the American people by removing essential checks and balances on judicial power within the federal government.


Tim Cahill's celebration in World Cup qualifying win will make you weep for modern football
Tim Cahill is still playing international football and still scoring goals.
Cahill scored twice in Australia's 2-1 win over Syria in a World Cup qualifier earlier this week, to set up a play-off against Honduras for a place at the World Cup.
Of the 56 goals the midfielder scored in the Premier League during his eight years with Everton, 31 were headers. The 37-year-old netted with a trademark goal against Syria, to leave Australia just two games from qualifying for next summer's tournament in Russia.
In the Premier League, Cahill's goals were always followed by his boxing celebration at the corner flag...
However, the Australian captain ditched his usual celebration against Syria. Instead, he ran past the corner flag with his arms outstretched like an airplane...
— OptaJason (@OptaJason) October 10, 2017
And he a made a T symbol with his hands to the crowd.
It turns out that Cahill was promoting a travel company with his celebration. The company revealed in an Instagram post that the midfielder is a "brand ambassador" for them and confirmed that the player used the goal celebration to plug their partnership.
"Did you catch @tim_cahill, our new brand ambassador, doing the TripADeal 'T' after he scored the winning goal last night? Congratulations Tim!'," the Instagram post read.
Cahill also mentioned the travel company in his own Instagram post following the match.
Every aspect of life is commercialised. As Karl Marx wrote: "The need of a constantly expanding market for its products chases the bourgeoisie over the entire surface of the globe. It must nestle everywhere, settle everywhere, establish connections everywhere." So, it's no surprise to see football goal celebrations follow suit and this probably won't be the last time we see a player promoting a brand following a goal.
However, some people still found Cahill's celebration to be in poor taste.
Tim Cahill doing sponsored celebration after such a vital goal is one of the worst things to happen in football. I presumed T stood for Tim! pic.twitter.com/f664FMKRFx
— Dean Jones (@DeanJonesBR) October 12, 2017
I try to defend Tim Cahill and he sells his celebration to a travel company. I'm done.
— Sawg Ondese (@Brosqinho) October 12, 2017
This just shows Tim Cahill only cares about the $ and self promtion a goal celebration is not the time to promote a brand that’s paying you https://t.co/sz1qtIYn2V

Tim Cahill and his sponsored goal celebration can do one as far as I’m concerned. Another nail in the coffin for the ex beautiful game.

This is a quick, easy, and elegant WW recipe that is suitable for entertaining. (4 Points)
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced (or more!)
- 4 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
- 2 cups small mushrooms, halved,or quartered if using larger mushrooms
- 1⁄3 cup chicken broth or 1⁄3 cup white wine
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crumbled
- In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil.
- In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, the mustard and garlic.
- Add the chicken and coat both sides with the mixture.
- Transfer the chicken and mixture to the skillet; saute until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- In the skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon of oil.
- Saute the mushrooms about a minute; add the broth/wine, thyme and remaining tablespoon of vinegar.
- Cook stirring until the mushrooms are deep brown, about 2 minutes longer.
- Serve the chicken, topped with the mushrooms.
This is really good using the chx broth. I added it to my "Make often file" Simple to make as well.
I followed the recipe exactly for the chicken and marinade portion of the recipe and doubled the broth and balsamic I added on the mushrooms. It was awesome. My husband and two year old enjoyed it too! Added some S & P and served with roasted asparagus. After removing the chicken from my nonstick skillet (just before adding the mushrooms) I had some flavorful bits that I loosened up with a bit of water. My initial marinade had all cooked up. I will make this again.
Loved this quick and flavorful recipe! As per other reviewers' suggestions, I sliced each breast rather than pound them and doubled the sauce. I used a mixture of button mushrooms, brown mushrooms and shitaki mushrooms, all sliced. I added 15 green olives sliced in half and sprinkled the sauce with red pepper flakes. Next time I will add rosemary -- just because I love rosemary and I think it will compliment the other flavors. Simple and delicious!

Forest Hills — The district’s Board of Education voted to enter into contract negotiations with Sara Shubel, retired East Grand Rapids superintendent, to serve as interim superintendent until a permanent one is named. Superintendent Dan Behm will retire this summer after 17 years in the role.
Board member Mary Vonck, part of the three-person subcommittee that reviewed the candidates for the position, said she believes Shubel will help set up conditions for Behm’s successor to succeed. An important part of that will be continuing to involve the community in the strategic planning process under way.
Vonck said the interim position could last up to a full year, and that Shubel is open to serving any timeframe within that span.
In addition, Michigan Leadership Institute was chosen by unanimous vote to lead the search for a permanent superintendent. The board received proposals from four search firms. Vonck explained that MLI rose to the top in part because they included the most time in their proposal to be present in the district to make sure the community is heard during the search process.
Updated information on the search process can be found on the district’s website.

In Discordance with the Scriptures
American Protestant Battles Over Translating the Bible
by Peter J. Thuesen
- Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
- Release date: May 23, 2002
- ISBN: 9780195152289 (019515228X)

- Author: Peter J. Thuesen
About The Book
The story of the translation of the Bible in America begins with the King James Version. In fact, many Americans thought of the KJV as the foundational text of the Republic, rather than a cultural inheritance from Anglican Britain. In the nineteenth century, however, as new editions of the Greek New Testament appeared, scholars increasingly recognized significant errors and inconsistencies in the KJV. This soon 1ed to the Bible revision movement, whose goal was the uniting of all English-speaking Protestants behind one new, improved version of the Bible. Ironically, as Peter Thuesen shows in this fascinating history, the revision movement in fact resulted in a vast proliferation of English scripture editions and an enduring polarization of American Christians over versions of Holy Writ. The recurrent controversies over Bible translations, he argues, tell us less about the linguistic issues dividing conservatives and liberals than about the theological assumptions they have long held in common.

moab desert elopement inspiration with ray + weston | windy southwest elopement | moab, utah intimate wedding and elopement photographer
If you follow us on instagram, you're probably aware by now that Moab, Utah is our favorite place to play, explore, hike, skydive, etc, and you've probably realized it's also our favorite place to photograph adventure engagement sessions, weddings, and elopements too. So it should be no surprise that these photos of Ray + Weston in the desert outside of Moab are some of our favorite adventure photos yet. These two are so adorable together and we had so much fun with them! I also can't say anything else without mentioning the incredible Val Hunter of Tellurian Events, who planned and styled this entire day. Aren't those florals amazing?! And Lesley Lind, who did Ray's hair and make-up, which perfectly complimented the moab desert landscape. Weston also handcrafted their gorgeous rings! You can find his website, Rose Anvil, here. We had so much fun working with everyone involved creating this absolutely perfect adventurous elopement in Castle Valley, which happens to be one of my favorite places in the Moab area. They got ready together in a yurt up in the La Sal Mountains overlooking Castle Valley - compliments of Talking Mountain Yurts, and then we headed into the desert to a little hill surrounded by some of the most stunning mesas in the Moab area. It was insanely windy, which just made these two look even more glorious. Weston + Ray are serious #hairgoals. The sunset was gorgeous and we were even treated by about 20 skydivers doing an off-site jump for the Skydive Moab Boogie nearby! Overall, it was such a sweet + rad day.
If you're considering eloping somewhere unique, Moab is honestly the best place. We spend a majority of our nomadic life here, exploring every corner of the desert around Canyonlands and Arches National Parks, Bears Ears National Monument, and the BLM lands in between. We have a always-growing list of perfect places for cliff-side intimate weddings, adventurous hike-in elopements, and stunning portraits all over the Utah desert.

“I’ve served in Congress for 52 years and it’s hard for me to recall a time when we’ve voted on something so obviously and intentionally harmful to seniors and working people in this country,” said John Conyers (D-MI), 87, on the House floor today.
“You will have the provisions in this bill tattooed on your forehead. You will glow in the dark on this one,” said Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) after Conyers spoke.
“This legislation strips healthcare from 24 million people. It requires seniors to pay 100% or more of their income in premiums. This legislation dramatically cuts Medicaid, directly contradicting Mr. Trump’s claim not to,” Conyers continued.
By nightfall, Dems at DailyKos fundraising after the Trumpcare went over half a million. See: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/dkendorses2018dems?refcode=20170504fsupdate
Meanwhile Rep. John Faso (R-NY), who had a loud townhall filled with people who wanted Obamacare to be improved and not repealed, had an endless number of comments on his official facebook page. See here: https://faso.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=300
There are signs that even with 550 days before midterm elections Republicans may be in trouble. There will be three elections that will provide major hints:
- The Governor’s race in Virginia. The primary is June 13
- The Jon Ossoff race for Price’s seat in Georgia.
Price’s seat is lean Republican. But regardless of demographics, the outcome should indicate what chances Democrats will have in 550 days.

Genentech beats earnings expectations
Biotech developer's revenue also tops forecasts; stock down slightly after hours.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Biotech developer Genentech reported first-quarter earnings and revenue Wednesday that beat analysts' expectations.
Shares of Genentech lost 9 cents to $82.60 in after-hours trading.
The analyst consensus from Thomson Financial was for earnings of 67 cents per share.
The company said operating revenue rose 43 percent to $2.84 billion from $1.99 billion during the same period last year. The revenue topped analysts' expectations for a 38 percent increase to $2.74 billion.
For all of 2007, Genentech said it expects earnings per share to grow 25 to 30 percent, excluding charges. That's about in line with analysts have projected.
Sales for Genentech's blockbuster Avastin, a drug for lung and colorectal cancer, jumped 34 percent to $533 million in the first quarter from the same period in 2006.
Sales for Rituxan, a treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and rheumatoid arthritis, climbed 12 percent in the first quarter to $535 million.
The company said sales for its breast cancer drug Herceptin edged up 7 percent to $311 million.
Shiv Kapoor, analyst for the investment research firm Montgomery & Co., said Genentech "did really well," despite weak growth in Herceptin and Rituxan, because of strong growth in selling product to the Swiss drug giant Roche.
Genentech said sales to Roche nearly tripled in the first quarter to $292 million, compared to $75 million from the same period in 2006.
Kapoor does not own shares of Genentech stock and Montgomery does not conduct business with the company.

May Day, the much-anticipated new poetry collection from Jackie Kay, one of the UK’s best loved poets, casts an eye over decades of political activism: the international solidarity of the Glasgow of Jackie’s childhood; her parents’ Socialist campaigns; the feminist, LGBT+ and anti-racist movements of the 80s and 90s, and the global pandemic and urgency of Black Lives Matter.
Join Jackie Kay for an unmissable evening as she delves below the surface of received narratives and brings to life a cast of influential figures: Fanny Eaton, Paul Robeson, Angela Davis and Audre Lorde. Woven throughout are a suite of lyric poems concerning the recent losses of Kay’s parents: poems of grief and profound change that are infused with the light of love and celebration.
‘Kay’s strength as a poet has always been her clear, plain style, and its fearless spoken poignancy’. – Daily Telegraph


The R22 million monumental flag project by Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa is back.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) says it is disturbed by reports that Mthethwa is planning to go ahead with the project, which his department shelved following a public outcry in May.
The DA's head of sports, arts and culture, Tshepo Mhlongo, said he learnt of the plan to go ahead with the project during debate in parliament, following the minister's response to a question posed by the party.
"Despite the public uproar and a direct order from President Cyril Ramaphosa, the minister of sports, arts and culture has once again put his R22 million flag on the table," Mhlongo said in a statement.
Mhlongo said Mthethwa had not learnt his lesson following the furore over the cost of the flag, and that the minister still believed wasting R22 million of taxpayers’ money would enhance "nation-building and social cohesion“.
"It is truly astounding the department of sports, arts and culture infrastructure unit can find no other worthwhile project to invest in. Under minister Mthethwa's watch numerous museums, art galleries and heritage sites are crumbling. The DA has communicated extensively about the shocking state of Freedom Park -the site for the proposed R22 million flag. Surely spending money to maintain and develop already established heritage sites would better promote ‘nation-building and social cohesion’,“ he said.
Mhlongo said the minister’s refusal to engage with the public and other stakeholders showed that he did not actually care about nation-building and social cohesion, contrary to his claim.
"His poor treatment of the arts and culture sector during the pandemic exposed his callousness and this tone deaf waste of R22 million underscores it," Mhlongo added.

Navy's football team may have to wait for another game day to defend the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy if the government shutdown continues.
The Midshipmen are scheduled to face off against Air Force on Saturday in Annapolis before a sold-out crowd, but the clash may be postponed if Congress doesn't agree on a spending plan for the new fiscal year.
The Department of Defense suspended all intercollegiate athletic competitions at the three military academies, USA Today reports
The suspension will last throughout the shutdown, and the Navy-Air Force game, which CBS had planned to air live, will be postponed, a source told the newspaper.
Troy Garnhart, an associate athletic director for Air Force, told The Capital Gazette
in Annapolis that the Air Force Academy's upperclass cadets are military personnel and may be subject to travel restrictions during the shutdown.
"The Air Force Academy Falcons will attempt to play all home intercollegiate athletic contests, but those may be canceled as well," Garnhart said "Academy officials are working with Mountain West Conference officials, those teams the Falcons were scheduled to play and officials at the Department of the Air Force to make up as many games as possible."
Both teams will have time at season's end to make up the championship game.
Navy has a break from Nov. 22 through Dec. 14, when it faces Army. Meanwhile, the Air Force Academy's season ends Nov. 30, and the team likely will not be making an appearance in the Mountain West's debut conference championship game, as the Falcons already are 1-4 for the season.
If the shutdown continues, it could also affect a handful of other games, including Army at Boston College on Saturday, Army at Temple on Oct. 19, Navy at Duke on Oct. 12, and Navy at Toledo on Oct. 19. Also, Army is scheduled to travel to Air Force on Nov. 2.

From director Steven Spielberg comes “War Horse,” an epic adventure for audiences of all ages. Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, “War Horse” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets—British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter—before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land. The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse—an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure. “War Horse” is one of the great stories of friendship and war—a successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful international theatrical hit that is arriving on Broadway next year. It now comes to screen in an epic adaptation by one of the great directors in film history. [...]

Are Baidu and Google Earnings Related?
After the close on Thursday, even as traders were marveling at the 13% move after Google announced its earnings triumph, Baidu was also up substantially after hours (2.8%) on no apparent news. This got me wondering whether there was any steady relationship between the two – after all, Baidu is colloquially “the Google of China,” so it isn’t hard to imagine people trading the two stocks similarly.

Hundreds honor city’s long-serving police chief
When Arland Rasmussen woke up Monday morning marking the first day of retirement after serving nearly 20 years as the West Fargo police chief, it was the first time in more than four decades he didn’t need to holster a weapon and head off to work.
The man who had faithfully dedicated himself to law enforcement since 1972, a time when he had to drive his own car as a sheriff’s deputy squad car, said Monday that it might “take a couple days” to get used to retirement. But, he was quickly acclimating to the new laid-back life.
“It’s great, absolutely love it,” Rasmussen said on Monday afternoon.
Rasmussen’s affable nature, which helped the department more than double in size during his tenure, also brought recognition to the city and built long-lasting friendships, from those in the justice community to regular residents. Rasmussen’s impact and beloved persona – which included a reputation for April Fool’s joking and the ability to brandish a red corrective pen at any minute report mistake – were evident at a retirement ceremony held last week.
Hundreds filled the Cambria Suites & Conference Center in West Fargo on Thursday to honor Rasmussen.
“It couldn’t have been better,” Rasmussen said. “I really, really appreciate all the work that went into (the program) and everyone that came.”
Gifts from representatives of the city, police department, Bureau of Criminal Investigation, and state delegates were presented to Rasmussen for his dedicated service. The gifts ranged from beautiful plaques, to a street signed embossed with the Rasmussen moniker (Rasmussen has was a staunch advocate of numbering all streets) to a stuffed mouse that was an inside joke from a fellow BCI retiree.
North Dakota Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley also presented Rasmussen with a photo of himself.
While the photo from Wrigley was presented as a joke, the former U.S. Attorney seriously recognized Rasmussen’s innovative service that led Wrigley to prosecute one of the first cases of child pornography in the state.
Wrigley said Rasmussen turned in evidence he had assigned an officer who was recovering from an injury to track an online predator. Wrigley said the investigator spent many hours online documenting a suspect’s movements and while the evidence Rasmussen brought to him was primitive at the time, it would lead to one of the first successful online sings his office would prosecute.
Rasmussen started his career as a Cass County Sheriff’s Deputy in 1972. In 1981, Rasmussen was involved in the infamous 1981 shootout between two out-of state outlaws and area law enforcement on the Red River Bridge in Fargo.
When Rasmussen began as the West Fargo Police Chief in 1195, the department was staffed with 16 officers and the city population hovered just above 10,0000. Instead of taking over a sleepy department, as he said he expected to at the time, the job would be filled with tough cases and local and national news attention focused on policies Rasmussen proposed.
One of those cases, Rasmussen said is one of the toughest came in November of 1995, just months after he took office.
Cheryl Tendeland, 50, was shot and killed while sitting in her car by a group of teens.
Later that same year, Rasmussen drew national attention to the city after proposing a teen curfew for the city. He was invited to be a guest on the New York City-based program, “News Talk Television” which aired on cable channels.
In 1999, the city almost lost Rasmussen to Fargo when he became a finalist for the Fargo Police Chief position.
The biggest change Rasmussen said he saw to law enforcement over the years has been the increased use of computers.
Rasmussen said he decided to retire not because of health, age or department issues, but rather because he wanted to spend more time with family.
He and his wife Verna Rasmussen, who retired earlier this year from the West Fargo School District, have three adult children.
However, he soon discovered he wasn’t ready to step away from public service entirely, filing for candidacy to the Cass County Board of Commissioners in April.
After winning the June 10 primary, Rasmussen will advance to the November election.
As part of his detailed department design, Rasmussen hoped the city commission would appoint Assistant Chief Michael Reitan to the post.
Reitan was appointed by the city commission as police chief in late March.
An official date for Reitan’s swearing in was not scheduled as of press time.
