The myRA program, created under the Obama administration for people with no access to a workplace retirement savings program, is being shut down because investors just aren’t saving enough for their futures to justify the cost of the program.
The Treasury Department announced on Friday it was phasing out the program, which means the 20,000 investors currently enrolled with money saved will have to roll over their assets to a Roth individual retirement account. The program cost the government $70 million since 2014 (when it was a pilot program), and was not considered cost-effective, the department said in its announcement. The government will not accept new enrollments, but participants can still deposit funds until further notice, the myRA website states.
Politics aside, the decision to shut down the program highlights a larger issue: Americans aren’t saving enough for retirement.
“Unfortunately, there has been very little demand for the program, and the cost to taxpayers cannot be justified by the assets in the program,” Jovita Carranza, U.S. Treasurer, said in a release about the decision. The myRA program was for Americans who couldn’t enroll in a workplace savings account, such as a 401(k) plan, but even those who do have access don’t necessarily use them: only a third of working Americans with access to an employer-sponsored account were saving, according to U.S. Census Bureau researchers, and that’s if their employers offered such plans (only 14% do, the research showed).
In total, participants in the myRA program contributed $34 million to their accounts, and the median balance for those who invested was $500, the Treasury Department said. About 10,000 accounts were opened with no money in them. Though myRA has proven unsuccessful, there’s still a strong need for retirement savings program awareness, especially for the low- to moderate-income individuals who don’t have access to employer-sponsored accounts, said John Scott, director of the retirement savings project at the Pew Charitable Trusts. “We need more opportunities for these workers,” he said. The provider of these services — the government or private sector — doesn’t matter as much as offering the products that will appeal to those not currently saving, he said.
Shutting down the myRA program might not be such a bad thing for the investors after all. The program was designed for people starting to save for retirement and who may need low-risk investment options. Low-risk may work for people afraid to lose money, but would not help long-term investors see any investment returns, said Jonathan Swanburg, an investment executive with Tri-Star Group, a Houston-based firm that specializes in fixed income securities.
“One of the riskiest things they can do is not invest money in something a little more aggressive if they have a long time horizon,” he said. “I think that’s something the government program skipped over.” Plus, the program had an overall $15,000 limit for up to 30 years before the account had to be transferred over to a Roth IRA, compared to individual retirement accounts (traditional and Roth), which have a $5,500 contribution limit for every year (and an additional $1,000 for people over 50).

Every year Arlington hosts special events that day. From the rolling green hills of Arlington National Cemetery to the awe-inspiring Air Force Memorial, Marine Corps War Memorial, National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial and Military Women’s Memorial, few places are more symbolic to experience Memorial Day. Here are the key events you can attend.
Arlington National Cemetery Ceremony
Arlington National Cemetery hosts an annual remembrance ceremony, including music by the U.S. Air Force Band and a wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, for some 5,000 visitors. The U.S. president typically delivers an address at this event, sponsored by the U.S. Army Military District of Washington. Volunteers place a flag by every tombstone, monument and columbarium row in the cemetery.
Military Women’s Memorial Event
The Court of Valor of the Military Women’s Memorial, meanwhile, is the site of formal military honors, where a woman from each military service tells her story and pays tribute to women who have served before.
National Memorial Day Concert
Across the Potomac River in DC, witness a star-studded lineup honoring military service and sacrifice at the National Memorial Day Concert at the U.S. Capitol. Taking place on the eve of Memorial Day, it kicks off with the national anthem and ends with “God Bless America.”
National Memorial Day Parade
Salute America's military and fallen servicemembers at Washington's National Memorial Day Parade, which kicks off at 2 p.m. Watch participants strut and stroll down iconic Constitution Avenue to commemorate the shared values of service and sacrifice that have brought Americans together throughout our nation’s history. Attend a special pre-parade musical program on Constitution Avenue.
Rolling to Remember
Finally, you can show a display of support for military veterans, those missing in action, prisoners of war and suicide victims during Rolling to Remember, when thousands of motorcyclists rally in the nation’s capital during Memorial Day Weekend.

Let me come right out with it…the lovely rural Catholic school that put on this race schooled everyone. They have a hotline to God and a knack for what they are doing, and they brought their A-game to this race. It’s as if the hell of the Garmin half marathon (poor organization, no police presence to help get everyone to the starting line, driving rain and stinging hail) cleansed our running souls, and we finally got to see the bright shining light that is half marathon heaven.
It was beautiful (though not a PR for me…don’t want to mislead anyone!) 🙂
I’ve whined incessantly about hating the running limbo between the races, and the running purgatory gave me a serious case of nerves the day before the race, as I’d spent five weeks in a resting/taper mode before and after each half marathon. That doesn’t exactly inspire confidence going into the third half marathon in five weeks. My legs felt fatigued from the accumulation of racing yet strangely unprepared for another (how do the Dopey Challenge people do it?).
I fixed one mistake from the last half marathon and did NOT eat Taco Bell the night before; however, I made another by playing 18 holes of golf with HH (God was not with me on the course, as I shot a 132 and therefore walked the entire course three times over looking for my ball in the rough on every dang hole.) I couldn’t not play though…it was a gorgeous afternoon, and life is meant to be lived!
God giveth and he taketh away. Um-hmm, that’s right.
So I woke up at 4:30 with sore legs and tight glutes. Hell is a tight ass pre-race, because you know that means your butt cheeks will soon be pushing on your shoulder blades.
I hit the road early, determined to avoid any prerace traffic jams. For any local readers, the sweet ladies at packet pickup told me to go past the first exit when coming south on 69 Hwy. and to exit instead at 247th Street. This worked like a charm…there were police at the exit and at every turn directing traffic, and then there were many marvelous volunteers directing us into the field behind the church (if you parked at the first exit location, you had to bus in.)
I was parked and at the starting line in minutes. Hooray to race organizers!
There were plenty of port-a-potties, and the church had opened up the cafeteria so that runners could get out of the cold and wait inside. I almost died when I walked in…nice and warm, music playing (“She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy”–ha!), pastries and coffee already being served, and Queenie the Cow making the picture rounds.
Catholics do it better.
Lining up was easy. I placed myself around the 1:55 pacer and talked to a few runners around me. One guy had started Rock the Parkway shooting for a 1:50 and gotten sick from the heat (just like me!), walked the last 5-6 miles just so he could finish since he was doing the 39.3, but then slept through the Garmin marathon and missed it. That’s a tough break.
The weather was beautiful (prayers were answered! I’m telling you these people have an in), and we took off to the sounds of Van Halen…a clear sign that the man above was thinking of me, as I LOVE Van Halen (can’t remember now if they played “When Love Walks In” or “When It’s Love”). The only thing better would have been if they’d played “Running With the Devil.”
We were off, and I felt surprisingly good for the first two miles, other than getting hemmed in right on the ass of the pacer with nowhere to move. It took about three miles to get clear of the jostling group and make a break. I ran ahead, talked with my old college roommate and her boyfriend for a bit, then pushed a little harder, as I was feeling very relaxed.
This was the perfect course…all country roads, completely closed off, plenty of room to run, and no huge elevation changes, just gentle rolling hills. It was varied enough to keep it interesting, and I enjoyed the slight challenge of the hills and the respite of the downhill portions. It would be a great course to try and set a PR…and might I add that the occasional smell of cow manure can prove mighty inspiring? 🙂
To the cows at Mile 6…I hope you feel better soon! Eat some fiber!
Now as we all know, the devil is in the details (are you getting sick of the religious references yet?), and the race delivered. Have I mentioned the aid stations? They were everywhere, manned by different grades of the school with parent helpers. They had signs indicating which side had Gatorade and which had water, and the kids also yelled out what they were holding. They also had trays of orange slices and bananas…these people were saints! I can’t count how many thanked me for running as I passed.
Are you serious? Thank you for hosting! For being organized! For everything! Hosanna in the highest (I remember my Catholic school days!) These kids were amazing…I wanted to hug them all for being so sweet.
I sipped my Nuun and ate 2-3 Honey Stingers before most aid stations, chasing it with water supplied by little angels.
My splits for the first seven miles:
9:05, 8:53, 8:41, 8:39, 8:40, 8:34, 8:33…consistent. Not earth-shattering, but fun and comfortable. I enjoyed every minute of them.
I started to feel fatigued around Mile 8, not too far after the turnaround point, and my splits started dropping a bit, just when I was hoping to have enough energy to start ramping them up. I didn’t feel bad, just a bit tired, and I wondered if general race fatigue from the previous two races and little serious running in-between was catching up with me. Still, I wasn’t dizzy or nauseous (yet), and I could still run, just not at quite the pace I would have liked.
I really drew inspiration in these miles from watching the slower runners still coming up the front half of the race. I saw such spirit and determination in those people, and I tried to shout some encouragement to them as I passed. I don’t know if it helped them, but seeing their struggle sure helped me. I wasn’t setting a trailblazing pace, but I was cooking up a decent race, and I was thankful.
Best sign of the race? The one that said “There will be a day when you cannot run. Today is not that day!”
That sign sums up the whole reason why I run, and it gave me inspiration (it didn’t give me any more speed, unfortunately, but it gave me a smile and happy thoughts, which is worth a lot too!)
I thought I had built up about a 2-minute lead on the 1:55 pacer, and I felt fairly strong. I passed the guy I’d talked to at the beginning of the race, just as he was stopping to stretch his quad. I shouted some encouragement as I chicked him, but that may not have helped him, upon reflection.
I tried to run more by feel in Miles 8-10, as I was starting to fight some low energy and didn’t want to get hung up on pace. I thought I was pushing hard and that I was still well ahead of the pacer…in fact, I was beginning to think that maybe I would end up under 1:54. I was starting to feel a little nauseated though, and it was getting pretty warm, so I was hesitant to try and make a push. Still, though, my discomfort wasn’t severe like Rock the Parkway.
I need to stop ignoring my Garmin, because every time I do, my natural inclination is apparently to go slower (my splits were 8:42, 8:48 and 8:48 for Miles 8-10).
Right at the Mile 11 mark and just before the last hill, I saw the 1:55 stick wiggle up next to me, and there she was like Satan on my shoulder…the pacer. She had caught up with me, like past sins or too many pieces of birthday cake.
It was like my entire running ego was shoved into one big balloon, and she poked it with her damn pacer stick and left it all on the road.
It’s hard to process a full-on depression attack while still running. I was just so instantly deflated for some reason, and whatever spirit those Catholic kids had given me evaporated faster than you can make the sign of the cross.
I tried to tell myself that though I was moving slower than I’d thought, I was still running an enjoyable solid race. I put my eyes on that stick and chased it like it was the last bus to Heaven. Just stay close, I told myself, but I was seriously adrift spiritually and physically, and I needed food in the worst way.
I’m not proud of my Mile 11-13 splits (8:57, 8:52, and 8:42), but I can’t really complain either. I was still conscious, I didn’t have to stop to walk, which I was starting to see a lot of, and I didn’t lose track of the Satan pacer.
I crossed the finish line in 1:55:30 to the cheering of a great crowd, the ringing of numerous cowbells and the smell of home cooked food waiting in the church cafeteria.
I stopped to grab a bottle of water in the finish chute, and a volunteer thanked me (again!) for running. I told her that I should be thanking her and that this was the best race I’d ever participated in. She was thrilled and introduced me to the lady next to her, who was the organizer of the run…lucky me! I had the chance to thank her in person and tell her how much it meant to me (and I’m sure the other runners as well!)
Hi Liz Meek, and thanks again! Isn’t she nice? She even put her arm around me, and I was a sweaty disgusting mess!
Now here is where the race organizers (kudos, Liz!) came through yet again. The spread inside that church was something to behold. Here is a pic of just one table, and there were several…
Pulled pork, hot dogs, hamburgers, McDonald’s and Panera, chicken salad, baked beans, Hostess cupcakes, fresh fruit, etc.–they had it all, not to mention numerous side tables with homemade cakes, pastries, etc., and samples from the Corner Bakery Cafe. It was overwhelming.
To whoever made the chicken salad…I applaud you. Your chicken salad made my day. Please make it again next year. Peace be with you.
I ate my food (eat all the food!), then wandered over to the outside coffee vendor (they had coffee inside and outside…these are my kind of people!) He said that he’d had several people wander up and ask him why people would want coffee on such a warm morning, and we had a good laugh about it, because coffee drinkers don’t care if it’s 100 degrees outside, they want their coffee!
Amen to that.
After collecting my shiny medals (blingtastic!), I took another pic with Queenie the Cow and hit the road…
I checked my numbers once I got home and was reasonably pleased to see that I finished in the top 9% of my age group (angelic shebeasts 40-44) and in the top 23% overall.
So my final numbers for the series were 1:54, 1:56, and 1:55. Not what I had hoped for , but respectable. Will I do the Heartland 39.3 series again? I really don’t know. The limbo in-between races was torture, yet the feeling of completing three in five weeks is a good one.
After experiencing Running With the Cows, though, I might just try to target it next spring as a solo race with the hope of chasing a PR. Regardless, I will be back to run this incredible race again (with God as my copilot!) 😉
And would you believe I played nine more holes of golf on Saturday afternoon? I was exhausted by Saturday evening.
Happy running, and I hope you had a happy Mother’s Day (mine was wonderful!) Thanks for reading!

Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday (November 14) revealed his party's strategy for 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election, saying the SP would not seal alliance with any major parties for the crucial election. Akhilesh's announcement sends a message that the SP is unwilling to enter into an alliance with the Congress with which it fought the 2017 Assembly election.
Speaking on the occasion of Diwali, Akhilesh Yadav said, “I would like to wish you all a very Happy Diwali first of all. There have been a lot of important people joining in the party recently in Lucknow and today in Etawah as well. However, the region has been ignored by the current BJP government who has just put a black stone in the name of development in Etawah.”
“Samajwadi Party will try to form an understanding with smaller political parties but no alliance with any big political parties. I have said it many times earlier also and today I am saying it again, Pragatisheel Party will also be adjusted and Jaswantnagar has already been left for their leader and in times to come, we will also give cabinet berth to him,” he added.
It may be recalled that few weeks ago, SP had withdrawn its plea for disqualification of party MLA Shivpal Yadav from the UP Assembly. The move was seen as a step taken by SP chief to mend ties with his estranged uncle. For his part, Shivpal Yadav had thanked nephew Akhilesh for taking back the disqualification application.
Shivpal wrote a letter to Akhilesh Yadav and said that ‘clear and positive intervention’ would help the SP defeat the BJP in the 2022 Assembly election.

Catherine Crump is an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union. She litigates cases on many issues, from challenges to invasive government surveillance programs, to protecting the right to engage in political protest, to suing police officers for excessive force. Current cases include constitutional challenges to the government’s authority to engage in suspicionless searches of laptops at the international border and to its assertion that it can track the location of cell phones without a warrant.
On Friday, the ACLU of Delaware filed a brief with the Delaware Supreme Court arguing that law enforcement agents should not be permitted to attach a GPS device to a car without getting a search warrant.
Last week, The Washington Post reported that six women, all former law clerks and legal externs, have accused federal appeals court Judge Alex Kozinski of “inappropriate sexual conduct or comments,” with allegations that included showing them pornography and suggesting that they exercise naked.
Across California, young people in the juvenile justice system are routinely tracked 24/7 with GPS ankle monitors that are often touted as “better than jail.” That’s too low a standard for a technology used on children.
Palo Alto lawmakers have proposed legislation granting the community greater control over police surveillance — including the Police Department’s purchase and use of equipment such as drones, license plate readers and social media monitoring software. Palo Alto and 10 other cities around the country that have proposed similar laws are part of a movement to bring the community and elected representatives into decisions by local police to acquire such powerful and invasive surveillance technologies. We all should urge our own elected representatives to take similar steps.
After months of consideration, the San Francisco Police Commission approved rules Wednesday for use of the latest innovation sweeping law enforcement nationwide — police body-worn cameras. Toney Chaplin, San Francisco’s acting police chief, had announced on his first full day in the job last month that deploying body cameras was his top priority.
"Catherine Crump, acting director of the Samuelson Law, Technology & Public Policy Clinic at University of California, Berkeley and co-counsel for Macabeo, said the decision is significant not so much because it safeguards phone data but rather because it resists an expansion of the grounds for warrantless police searches.
"Nevertheless, there are some avenues for reform. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration offers grants for states to buy ALPRs for “highway safety” and Catherine Crump, associate director of Berkeley Law’s Samuelson Law, Technology, and Public Policy Clinic, says the federal government could require states to adopt official ALPR policies as a condition of receiving those funds.
"“This is a significant development, and part and parcel of the continued push-back by the American tech sector over surveillance (since) the Snowden disclosures,” said Catherine Crump, a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley."
"“It’s really exciting,” said Catherine Crump, an assistant clinical professor at UC Berkeley’s law school, who has been following Oakland’s story.
“It’s an example of a community trying to grasp hold of how technology is changing, and actually exert some control over the degree which people are going to be subject to surveillance and then in what ways,” she said.
Advanced technologies are revolutionizing how the government investigates, charges and prosecutes criminal cases—and defense attorneys must keep pace. Even small police departments can purchase powerful surveillance technologies, and internet companies collect vast troves of data on virtually everyone. This two-day CLE conference will discuss the government's use of technologically advanced investigative techniques in criminal cases, and the issues raised by those techniques under the Fourth Amendment and other federal law.
WHAT: “Separating fact from fantasy: Is fake news undermining the truth?” The proliferation of fake news and what can be done about it comes under scrutiny by a multidisciplinary panel of experts assembled at the University of California, Berkeley.
After a deluge of criticism and widespread expression of concern, Facebook announced steps to partially address the threat of never-ending information wars.

With the recent revelation that Apple had (not unexpectedly) sourced the A9 processor in the iPhone 6s from two different suppliers came the discovery that the model manufactured by Samsung is 10% smaller than the one built by TSMC.
Along with the size difference comes a difference in the power efficiency of each model, with many reports indicating—and Apple eventually confirming—that phones with the Samsung chip will likely see 2-3% lower battery life.
Today Ars Technica has published its own findings based on the results of a set of battery tests on each processor, showing that the TSMC hardware outpaces Samsung’s in most test categories, but not all.
For this test, Ars set each iPhone’s display to exactly 200 nits, removed the SIM card from each handset to ensure identical cellular activity, and ran a series of different tests to see how each processor fared.
As you can see in the chart above the TSMC chip has a slight edge in nearly every test, with just one exception: WebGL. In that test, the Samsung A9 actually saw a slight lead over TSMC’s, but for the most part the differences (including Samsung’s lead in the WebGL test) were negligible.
The Wi-Fi browsing test featured the second biggest gap between the two CPUs, and the total difference in that test was only 14 minutes. The GFXBench benchmark showed a 9-minute difference.
The largest gap came from the Geekbench benchmark, which showed a gap of one full hour between the handsets. That outlier aside, the results all line up with Apple’s claim of only 2-3% difference.
With most tests run over the past few days reaffirming Apple’s statement, it seems safe to say that the battery life between the two models is roughly the same, and probably not a big enough difference to cause any great concern. It’s unlikely you’ll see any significant hits to your battery if you happened to get a Samsung unit.
FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. More.
2 TSMC Units over here! :)
Not that it really matters . . . ;)
and which app can we use to know it?
App Store and download Lirum Lite (free version) and the search these threads to find the processor code.
The tests accidentally don’t include cpu intensive tasks like video playback, gaming and shooting video. Of course battery is the same while browsing in safari because the cpu is barely used. This article is just playing to apple’s statement, they didn’t even try to show us a complete picture. I suspect gaming will show significant battery life differences.
I’m not sure how video playback is CPU intensive and web browsing is not…FYI browsing is CPU intensive if not you won’t have 10 hours battery life while playing videos and 5 hours while browsing.. in case of gaming, GPU is the one that consumes most of the power and weGL and GFXBench don’t seem to have much differences. So, i guess the claim of 2-3% variation in battery seems to be fair enough….
“removed the SIM card from each handset to ensure identical cellular activity…”
Huh? What cellular activity would there be without a SIM? Searching for a tower?
Whatever. Talk about a non issue. But I guess there should be a *-gate after a new phone has left the gate.
WebGL is almost the same as a game as it uses OpenGL underneath the covers (just as a game uses OpenGL). GFXBench pegs both the CPU and GPU at 100% for long periods of time, this as about as intensive as you get.
You are also very incorrect about web rendering not being CPU intensive, checkout AnandTechs analysis on CPU load when using Chrome (http://www.anandtech.com/show/9518/the-mobile-cpu-corecount-debate/4). Now I’m sure you will say “This is Android blah blah blah” but go ahead and check out https://www.webkit.org/ and read about how WebKit does rendering of content works, you will see it is almost identical and Blink Chrome’s rendering engine is based on WebKit (in case you don’t know Safari is built on top of WebKit). If you were to run the rendering engines in a loop and not stop you would put the phone though heavy workload. Now I have no idea what this test means by “WiFi-Browsing” they could mean loading a page and stopping for a minute or the could mean loop, but there isn’t enough info here to support a claim of “the cpu is barely used.”.
At any rate my point is I think you need to do some fact checking before you post half cocked assumptions.
My 6s Plus is phenomenal on battery who cares lol, and yes mine is a samsung A9. I am absolutely happy with my new iPhone 6s Plus. I came from a 5s. My 5s would be at 20 to 30% at the end of my work day, the 6s Plus is at 85 to 90% at the end of the same work day. I even go 2 days now without charging which is something I have never been able to do. This is a fact for me. This whole thing is much to do about NOTHING.
How do you know if your iPhone uses a Samsung A9 as opposed to a TSMC one?
There’s several apps that can determine that for you. See above.
Don’t forget we are talking two manufacturers here. It should be expected that there would be difference +/- based on that fact alone.
I’ve got the good chip, 128 gb Space Grey 6S. Upgraded from 32 gb 5S. I can tell you that in my experience 9.0.2 thirsts for battery. 9.0 did NOT eat the way 9.0.2 does. 9 overall is now more rock solid but it just demolishes battery if you aren’t careful.
Apple multi-source a few components, and have done for years. For instance, the wifi module, while using a Broadcom radio (included baseband on the same die) uses up to 3 different power amplifier vendors, and you have no idea which. The PA is a big determinant of power usage with wifi. Apple is notoriously tough on vendors and drives their road-maps, and is super-strict on test plans and overall performance. This whole TSMC/Samsung thing is a classic case of tech journalists wading in on an industry (semiconductors) they are completely clueless about.
Strange, a few days ago Cam Burton did write an article about Jonathan Morrisons test scenario, where the difference wasn’t just 2-3% (afaik it was more like 10%). I also havn’t seen a test that does gaming & navigation, also CPU intensive tasks. There is a difference and some power users will suffer from Samsung’s A9 chip. So why try to neglect the issue? Because Apple said so?

In a world where it seems everyone and anybody can have their own podcast (and not necessarily pull it off so it's interesting) it's refreshing to find one that's done it right - even more so to find one that offers a unique twist - adding something you're not likely to come across just about everywhere else. (What is that, you ask? Well - we'll get to that in a moment...) May I direct your ears to a relatively new addition to the podcast world "The Royd's Revue Podcast" featuring Robb Hall and Andrew Jefferes.
Full disclosure: Andy's my nephew. Am I biased? Go scratch yer ass!! I mean - no - of course not... I can write an unbiased review - just watch me...
The title of their podcast "The Royd's Revue" gives you some insight to what to expect. They review movies... as to today's date they've done several from the Jurassic Park franchise, Toy Story, and Thor - but here's the twist...
Being musicians they give themselves an ingenious homework assignment - they create songs to accompany their individual perspectives - record them separately - and then reveal what they've done to each other at the end of the podcast, after a coin flip (or as a few episodes I've listened to, a guitar pick flip.) The result is nothing short of amazing.
Given the time constraints these are often spontaneous, unpolished recordings - and they admit to flubs they've left in, recording styles outside of their comfort zones, and even riffs they've nicked from other sources.
More often than not they choose to record from the perspective of one of the characters in the movie - most recently, episode 8 - Thor: The Dark World, Robb wrote "That Hammer" from Jane's perspective (Thor's love interest) - while Andy wrote "I'll Show You" - from Loki's (Thor's brother - and as the Royd's put it - a very sad boy).
But before they even get to the music I must say I enjoy the banter... Robb and Andy, longtime pals, are genuinely synched - and quite funny! The Royd's have done a hilarious video to their Christmas single "Christmas Is Cancelled" and Robb is no stranger to doing stand-up - we've also featured Robb several times on our website doing his "Dick Bones Show" - interviewing a fork, a bat, a box of tissues, a french press, a printer, over-ripe bananas...
So check them out! Listen to the podcast - you can find their spontaneous combustions available for download at their band camp channel and you may even find a few podcast accompanying videos courtesy of Ravid Design on their youtube channel.
As a side note to The Royd's: How can you possibly think Woody tried to murder Buzz Lightyear - you sick BASTARDS!!!

MOSCOW -- President Obama will not achieve a breakthrough on nuclear arms reductions when he meets with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev on Monday, U.S. officials said Sunday.
"There is a long way to go before finishing a treaty," said Gary Samore, senior director for arms control with the National Security Council, who is traveling with the president. "There is no agreement on the end deal."
Obama and Medvedev will announce Monday that they have achieved "some progress" to reduce the number of nuclear delivery systems below 1,600 each and nuclear warheads below 2,200 each. Those are the numbers codified in START, signed in 1991 and ratified in 2001. The treaty reduced about 80 percent of the strategic nuclear arms possessed by both countries.
The 700-page treaty covers every aspect of nuclear arms control. It's sprinkled with dense language on inspection and verification of nuclear arms, delivery systems and angels-on-the-head-of-a-pin specificity about what constitutes a moth-balled delivery system or warhead.
The language reflects deep mistrust of the former Cold War enemies. Even though neither nation considers the other a foe, arms control language is difficult to dismantle entirely and differences over definitions remain.
For example, the United States no longer uses B-1 and B-52 bombers to carry nuclear warheads and some of the B-52s are no longer air-worthy. For this reason, Samore said they shouldn't be counted in the new START's delivery system matrix.
The Russians have said they want them counted because they could still deliver nuclear bombs if the United States decided to re-arm and re-tool them for nuclear-armed flight.
Other sticky issues remain outside the treaty, too. Moscow wants to link a deal with the U.S. on the future of ballistic missile defense systems in Europe with the new START framework. The United States opposes such linkage, arguing the U.S. system poses no threat to Russia's nuclear weapons or its sovereignty.
"It's modest," Samore said of the proposed U.S. ballistic missile defense system that would seek to shield Europe from attacks from North Korea and, if it developed nuclear weapons and missiles, Iran.
The missile defense system, a program started under the Bush administration in 2002, raised issues from the beginning with Russia, which argued it would lead to a new arms race. In 2007, President Bush and then-Russian President Vladimir Putin argued over a new plan by the United States to position interceptor missiles and radar interceptors in Poland and the Czech Republic.
Overall, the White House said it is pleased with how negotiations between the two nations have progressed since April, when the two leaders met for the first time in London at the G20 summit. However, officials downplayed expectations that the White House was hoping for any large-scale announcements for this trip to Moscow.
"These things take years to negotiate," Samore said. "We're really trying to do this in double quick time."

Advancing further in the FA Cup would relieve some of the mounting pressure on manager Antonio Conte.
Premier League champions Chelsea host struggling Hull in the FA Cup fifth round keen to relieve the mounting pressure on boss Antonio Conte.
Two goals from Eden Hazard and Victor Moses' strike secured a comfortable win for last season's title winners, with the Blues looking to reignite their charge towards automatic qualification for next campaign's Champions League.
Visitors Hull arrive in west London looking to put their disappointing league form behind them, with Nigel Adkins' side languishing just a place above the Championship relegation zone.
The Tigers have been in somewhat of a downward spiral since they were relegated from the Premier League last season, with former Russian national team manager Leonid Slutsky having already been dismissed as head coach this term.
These two sides clashed in the FA Cup back in 1999, as a strong Chelsea side tore apart a lowly Hull at Boothferry Park.
Gianluca Vialli fielded a team full of international stars and was duly rewarded with a confident performance from his side. Gus Poyet gave the Blues the lead, before Chris Sutton doubled their lead on the half hour mark.
The home side reduced the arrears through David Brown, before Vialli's side took charge after the break. Champions League winning manager Roberto Di Matteo scored the Blues' third, before Poyet scored twice more to earn himself the match ball.
Mike Edwards own goal sealed a comprehensive 6-1 win for Chelsea, who would go on to lift the trophy at the end of the season, beating Aston Villa 1-0 in the final thanks to a second half Di Matteo goal.
Eden Hazard vs Michael Dawson
Conte is likely to field a strong lineup as he bids to clinch a place in the quarter-finals of England's most prestigious cup competition.
Belgian superstar Eden Hazard ran rings around West Brom on Monday night, scoring twice in a highly impressive performance. His roaming role in Chelsea's attack is likely to prove difficult to contain, with the Tigers' defence struggling this season to operate as a cohesive unit.
Former Tottenham defender Michael Dawson is the leader of Hull's defensive line and will look to use his experience to nullify Hazard's threat.
Dawson isn't getting younger, and having just returned to fitness will have to rely on his positional awareness and reading of the game in order to tame the Blues' biggest attacking threat.
Chelsea will field a strong side against the Tigers, but boss Antonio Conte has admitted he will make changes to give others a chance to impress.
New signing Emerson Palmieri is ready to make his first-team bow, with youngster Ethan Ampadu likely to be given the opportunity to prove his worth once more.
Alvaro Morata could return up front, after coming on a substitute against West Brom on Monday night.
Nigel Adkins has a selection headache ahead of him, with up to 11 first-team players ruled out through injury or ineligibility.
Michael Hector will have to sit it out against his parent club, whilst Seb Larsson is banned. The Tigers are also reeling from the terrible news of Ryan Mason's retirement from a serious head injury suffered at Stamford Bridge last season.
Chelsea will be looking to send the home support away happy after a testing period at Stamford Bridge.
Antonio Conte is under immense pressure to deliver, with rumours claiming the Italian could be replaced at the end of the season.
They crashed out to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semifinal last month and will be keen to put that disappointment behind them as they look to book a date at Wembley later in the season.
Survival from relegation will be the most important thing on Nigel Adkins' agenda, though the Tigers boss will hope his side can put in a decent showing.
Injuries have depleted the options available to Adkins, but fans will remain hopeful that their side can cause another FA Cup shock.
The Blues should have enough in the tank to do the job, with home advantage likely to prove key.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Hull City

Presidents’ Day means only one thing in West Pittston: spaghetti. Two things if you count the meatballs.
Boy Scout Troop 352 conducts a fund-raising spaghetti and meatballs dinner every Presidents’ Day and looks to the event for funds needed throughout the year.
This year’s dinner, which is open to the public, is scheduled from 4 to 7 p.m. on Monday, February 17, at the First United Methodist Church, corner of Wyoming and Montgomery avenues. The meal includes all-you-can-eat spaghetti, salad, beverage, and dessert.
Take-outs will be available from 4 to 5 p.m. Inside dining is from 5 to 7 p.m. The cost is $7.
Tickets may be purchased in advance (call 570-655-1083) or at the door.
“The spaghetti dinner helps with day-to-day costs as well sending our scouts to summer camp,” head scoutmaster Ryan Foy said.
The scouts camp at Acahela, Goose Pond, Lavigne, and Lackawanna.
Now led by Foy, along with Assistant Scoutmaster Ron Pollard, Troop 352 began in 1921 and was chartered in 1924.
Pollard will be the head chef taking over the reins from his dad, Warren, who has been manning the stove at the Methodist Church for decades. Peter Moore and Andrew Kudasik are assistant scoutmasters.
The medium-sized troop is active throughout the year. Typically there is one camping trip per month during the school year, weekly meetings, and either a weeklong traditional summer camp or educational trip.
Until the mid-80s, the troop maintained its own private campsite in the West Wyoming mountainside. The campsite was a place to introduce the boys to outdoor skills using what they learned at their meetings. The troop has been active in the community since its inception and has been successful with boys achieving the high rank of Eagle Scout. Most of 352’s Eagle Scouts have served ten years or more.
Troop 352 celebrated a milestone in 2009 commemorating their 100th Eagle Scout. That year, Troop 352 awarded seven scouts with their Eagle Rank at a Court of Honor ceremony held at the First United Methodist Church.
During that ceremony, the Eagle candidates listened to special messages presented by the Troop’s 35th Eagle Scout Dominic Aritz, and the Troop’s 20th Eagle Scout Ronald Rogers. The ceremony was led by Scoutmaster Ron Pollard (Eagle #62), Assistant Scoutmasters Walter Harding (Eagle #67) and Peter Moore (Eagle#88).
A plaque handcrafted by Peter Sidari, Jr. listing each of the Troop’s 100 Eagle Scouts was presented to 352 at the ceremony.
The troop meets every Monday evening from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Methodist Church.


I am trying to move an object in straight lines as in the image below but the Bezier handles won't make this possible. How can I get rid of them and move my shape in straight lines with no curves whatsoever? Is there a way that they (bezier handles) can be turned off completely also?
I assume you're talking about the bezier path created by position keyframes.
Something like this:
Select the keyframes and alt + click any of the points with the Pen Tool and you'll get this:
You can alt + drag the points/handles to control the bezier just as you can in Illustrator, so you can—for example—do something like this:
You can also right click the keyframes and select Keyframe Interpolation for a few more options. Spacial Interpolation is what controls the positional movement ("Linear" will give you no curve), but you can also change the Temporal Interpolation, which controls the timing:

Alcohol affects '1m Australian children'
More than one million Australian children are affected in some way by the drinking of others, says a report on alcohol and domestic violence.
As many as 140,000 children are substantially affected.
More than 10,000 children are in the child protection system because of a carer's drinking problem.
The link between alcohol and domestic violence comes as Australia plans to set up a scheme to address family violence and violence against women.
The study, by the government-backed Centre for Alcohol Policy Research (CAPR), was launched in Sydney by campaigner against domestic violence and 2015 Australian of the Year, Rosie Batty.
One Australian woman dies every week as a result of domestic violence, according to government statistics.
'Abuse of power'
The issue was highlighted last year when Ms Batty's son Luke was killed in public by his father while playing cricket.
After her son's death, Ms Batty emerged as an articulate and powerful advocate for the rights of women and children living in violent relationships, giving new force to efforts to prevent family violence across Australia.
The study, The hidden harm: Alcohol's impact on children and families, examined the prevalence and effects of heavy drinking on families and children, and the extent to which they persisted or changed over time.
It drew on two national surveys of alcohol's harm to others, data from policy and child protection services and information gained from interviews with families affected by alcohol.
The study was funded by the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE). FARE's chief executive Michael Thorn said the research made clear the scale of the problem and the large numbers of children and families affected.
"Governments must embrace a broad public health approach with a strong focus on prevention," said Mr Thorn.
Domestic Violence NSW Chief Executive Moo Baulch said she hoped the research would lead to the development of policies that would see a reduction in domestic violence.
"Domestic and family violence is an abuse of power and control and there is no excuse for it," said Ms Baulch. "We need to better understand the links between alcohol and domestic abuse," she said.
Findings of alcohol impact report:
- More than a quarter of survey respondents reported experiencing harm from the drinking of family members
- Past harm was the strongest predictor of future harm for children and families
- Alcohol abuse is associated with between 15% and 47% of child abuse cases each year across Australia
- About 22% of all Australian children are estimated to be affected in some way by the drinking of others; 3% are substantially affected and 0.2% are already within the child protection system because of a carer's drinking

Richard Thomson MP has met with representatives of the Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC) in Westminster.
Members of AIC's policy team held valuable meetings with government and a range of Scottish MPs to discuss the vital role that the agri-supply industry plays in sustainable food production.
AIC's Scottish Policy Manager Ian Muirhead met with Mr Thomson along with Angus MP Dave Doogan and Stirling MP Alyn Smith.
Commenting, Richard Thomson MP said:
“Input costs, such as the huge increase in fertiliser prices, were major factors in 2022 and we enter 2023 with fertiliser continuing at record high price levels.
“This was a very useful opportunity to be briefed by the AIC on the key challenges and opportunities for the agriculture industry, including the energy crisis, fertiliser costs, food security, supply chain disruption and sustainability.”

There’s a new book by Andrew Krepinevich and Barry Watts, titled The Last Warrior: Andrew Marshall and the Shaping of Modern American Defense Strategy. Marshall is, by many accounts, the most influential person in U.S. defense policy that you’ve never heard of.
I haven’t read the book yet, as I’ve been too busy with teaching and research projects with deadlines, though my erstwhile officemate has, and he says it’s hagiographic. However, Marshall and the ONA are of abiding interest to me because of the role both played in the ascendancy of the “Revolution in Military Affairs” concepts that dominated U.S. defense thinking from the early 1990s to about 2010, when the concept seems to have faded, if not died out completely. In part this was influenced by events in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in part I suspect by the growing (and to me welcome) ascendancy of LTG H. R. McMaster’s way of thinking in Army circles at least. McMaster is well known for being skeptical of the post-Desert Storm RMA as posited by the ONA and its think-tank allies (see this interview from 2013, and this 2014 column on West Point’s “War Council” site.)
Anyhow, for those interested I’ve found both a pro and a con view Marshall’s legacy. For a skeptical view of the biography and the ONA, see Michael C. Desch’s column “Don’t Worship at the Altar of Andrew Marshall.” For an exposition of the biography, see the April 27 panel hosted by the Richard Nixon Foundation, featuring Watts and Krepinevich.
Personally, I count myself among the skeptics, mainly because I think that, whatever the impact of “precision” munitions etc,, the way they have been discussed in U.S. defense circles has led to the atrophy of clear thinking about strategy and the ability of military force to do more than break things and kill people.
To be continued…

CLUB 8 - Western Hospitality
Club 8 went to Brazil last year to gather inspiration for their new album The People's Record, due May 18th on Labrador Records. The new single "Western Hospitality" is a perfect introduction to the sound at work on the new disc, utilizing bits of Afrofunk and krautrock to create the perfect summer soundtrack. I see myself sailing off the coast of Rio, surrounded by sunkissed friends and leaping dolphins - wait, is that a Bacardi commercial? It probably should be.

Is EU services markets integration progressing? Analyzing EU trade in services through commercial presence
The bulk of research effort in the last decade on the EU internal market for services is devoted to the potential economic effects of the services directive. In this article we have focused on examining the past and current state of play in the internal market for services. Given that the biggest share of world services trade takes place through 'commercial presence', this paper looks at activities of foreign affiliates within the European internal market for services. Because statistics on activities of foreign affiliates (FATS) are still under construction, they are hardly ever used. This essay asks one major question: has the contribution of EU-controlled affiliates within the EU internal market resulted in a greater integration of EU services markets? Based on data for the 'Trade and repairs' section, one can observe an increase in intra-EU transactions on the outward FATS side simultaneously with a decline of intra-EU transactions in inward FATS. This shows that liberalisation within the EU internal market is not a dominant factor in determining 'commercial presence' patterns. (original abstract)

Didn't know this existed:
Indeed considered a "Grail" Speedmaster...
In 1978 NASA conducted a new series of watch tests for the upcoming STS-program (Space Transportation System = Space Shuttle).
Omega offered three different chronographs and the watch in Your photos is the so called " Alaska III " project, where a radial dial was chosen.
The Speedmaster won again and NASA got 40 of these radial dial Speedmaster chronographs, which were used during STS-program. In fact, USAF test-pilot and former X-15 pilot Joe Engle was the first to wear one onboard Columbia STS-2 in November 1981. The radial speedmaster was also worn on STS-8, STS-61-C, ...
Before that link dies and this post loses relevance...
thanks tirantlizardrex, we are talking about the upper Speedmaster in the photo, as far as I know no "Automatic" Speedmasters were ever flown.
The radial dials were added on 145.022 models but it's not clear if those were exactly 145.022-76 or earlier models?
Moreover the number of 40 watches delivered to NASA in 1978, might include regular Speedmaster chronographs
That radial dial 145.022 is super cool - as a child of the 80s growing up with the Shuttle programme as the thing that NASA did, a radial dial shuttle flown watch... woof.
What is that one on the left with Date? I don't think I've seen that before. I do love the radial.
Yes exactly @oddboy, I was referring to the radial auto on the left, which although not exactly a 'holy grail' ref 376.0822 is pretty close. Anyone seen one of these before?
Yes, yesterday at the Omega Museum, but it was in a prototype case. That dial was never originally installed in a 376.0822.
Any pics? It must be a special dial though, obviously not a regular radial.
A prototype with that dial sold for $36k USD in December 2015. Of course an extract saying it was delivered to NASA as part of the Alaska III project helps. http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/...5155&sid=6ce7d246-c458-4d21-a080-f9a5151d07ff
I like that dial in the moonwatch style case better though...
Did someone say radial............

Zoot was a dear friend and he passed quite a long while back. I have an unreleased tape of a gig we did together shortly before before passed with Teddy Wilson , Milt Hinton and Gus Johnson and i will try to put up an excerpt on my page.
Born John Haley Sims on October 29, 1925, in Inglewood, CA; died on March 23, 1985, in New York, NY; son of Pete Sims and Kate Haley (vaudeville performers); married Louise Ault, 1970. Addresses: Record company--Fantasy Records, 2600 Tenth Street, Berkeley, CA 94710.
Inspired by saxophonists like Ben Webster, Lester Young, and Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims dedicated his life to playing mainstream jazz. "Throughout his career," wrote Scott Yanow in All Music Guide, "Zoot Sims was famous for epitomizing the swinging musician, never playing an inappropriate phrase." During his 40 years as a performer, he played with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, and Stan Kenton. Sims' commitment to 1950s jazz remained intact through the free jazz and fusion eras, only to find swing and bop come back into style in the late 1970s. "He was praised by critics," noted Burt A. Folkart in the Los Angeles Times, "for his free-flowing ventures in traditional 4/4 and 3/4 time, saluted for his seemingly effortless but complex, spontaneous solos and lauded for his harmonic values in an age of brash dissonance."
John Haley Sims was born on October 29, 1925, in Inglewood, California, the son of two vaudeville performers, Pete Sims and Kate Haley. Pete Sims was often on the road, leaving the family with too little money to pay the gas and electric bills. At the age of ten Sims discovered his talent for music. "I played clarinet three years, until my mother bought me a Conn tenor...," Sims wrote in an autobiographical sketch that appeared in the New Yorker. "I kept it through my Woody Herman days in the late forties, and I finally sold it for twenty-five dollars. I never had any lessons." He quit high school after one year and began performing with Ken Baker in Los Angeles in 1940. Baker had a habit of placing funny nicknames behind the player's music stands, and young John stood behind the one titled "Zoot." The nickname stuck. When Sims joined the Booby Sherwood Orchestra in 1942, he was already a professional musician at the age of 17.
Sims seldom remained with one band for an extended period and he traveled continuously. "He was on the road much of his life," wrote Whitney Balliet of the New Yorker, "and he appeared all over the world." He played with Benny Goodman in 1943 and Sid Catlett in 1944, and then entered the Army for a two-year stint. Sims' tenor saxophone reached a larger audience between 1947-49 when he became part of the Four Brothers in the Woody Herman band. Playing alongside saxophonists Herbie Steward, Stan Getz, and Serge Chaloff, Sims had found a place where his musical ideas could grow. "I loved that band," Sims recalled. "We were all young and had the same ideas. I'd always worried about what the other guys were thinking in all the bands I'd been in, and in Woody's I found out: they were thinking the same thing I was." Sims finished out the decade playing with Artie Shaw, Buddy Rich, and Goodman.
He continued to bounce from band to band in the early 1950s, and even became a house painter for a year and a half when work was hard to find. He formed one of his most enduring musical relationships in the 1950s with fellow tenor Al Cohn. "The two tenors were so complementary," Yanow wrote, "that it was often difficult to tell them apart!" In 1956 the two led a quintet. Pianist Dave Frishberg, concurred, recalling to Balliett, "I told [Zoot Sims] that if Al Cohn was the Joe DiMaggio of tenor saxophonists he was the Ted Williams." They recorded Al and Zoot in 1957 and played shows at the Half Note near Greenwich Village, solidifying a musical partnership that would last over the next three decades. Sims rejoined Goodman in 1962 for a tour in the Soviet Union, and in 1966, he appeared with Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, and Coleman Hawkins at the Titans of the Tenor concert in New York City.
While Sims continued to play swing in the late 1960s and 1970s, he worried that his style of mainstream jazz had become outdated. Even in the late 1950s when he was establishing his credentials, new saxophonists like John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman led audiences to view swing and bop as old-fashioned. The dominance of free jazz in the late 1960s and fusion in the early 1970s led many traditional musicians to flee to Europe, where their music was received warmly. During the mid-1970s, however, the pendulum began to swing back again. Saxophonists like Scott Hamilton began to emulate Sims' style in his recordings. Sims' new work on the soprano saxophone also helped to raise his profile once again.
Sims married journalist Louise Ault in 1970; the match was evidently a happy one: "His playing took on a new fullness and warmth," wrote Balliett. "By the mid-seventies he had become a saxophonist of the first rank." Although the couple lived in New York, Sims continued his itinerant ways during the decade, traveling to Australia with Goodman, and to Scandinavia with Cohn; he was honored at the "Salute to Zoot" show at New York University in 1975. A few years later Sims' liver became infected from chronic alcohol abuse and he was faced with a choice: "Give up drinking," according to the Los Angeles Times,, "or give up living." "He opted for the former," Folkart wrote, "and went back out on the road as a sober saxophonist."
In 1982 Sims curtailed his performing schedule when doctors found a growth behind his right kidney. He recorded several memorable sessions on the Pablo label in the early 1980s, including Blues for Twowith guitarist Joe Pass, and On the Corner, a live set from the Keystone Korner in San Francisco. He played selective dates in the mid-1980s, and performed at an all-star event with Dizzy Gillespie and Benny Carter a few months before his death. Sims died of cancer at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York on March 23, 1985.
Sims recorded over 50 albums during his four-decade career. "He always sounded inspired," Yanow wrote, "and although his style did not change much after the early 1950s, Zoot's enthusiasm and creativity never wavered." Friends remembered him warmly. "He was a dream to play with," guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli told Balliett. "He was always good, he was always charged up, he never pussyfooted." African American bandleader Benny Carter, concurred, reminiscing in the Los Angeles Times, "Zoot is the outstanding refutation of the negative theory that whites can't play jazz. And a beautiful fellow to boot."
