Sebastien Bourdais joined the IndyCar series last year, marking his return to an American-based single-seater competition after a three year absence due to a stint in Formula One. However, the Frenchman has yet to run a full season in the IndyCar series.
The four-time Champ Car (CART) champion ran in one-off IndyCar races in 2011 with Dale Coyne Racing. His nine races that year were not the greatest or the worst of his single-seater career, but it did light the fire under him to return to America.
His start this year was complicated with Dragon Racing due to the partnership with Lotus. At the pre-season test this past March in Sebring, the team had one car and one Lotus engine for their two drivers: Katherine Legge and Bourdais.
The season opener was a dismal start for both cars – out early due to no fault of their own. By the second race, they both improved and even though he struggled, Bourdais ended ninth; ahead of the series defending champion, Dario Franchitti.
Bourdais quipped: “It has not been a good start!”
Bourdais kept his patience while the team struggled, and then came the lawsuit by Dragon Racing in May against Lotus for the lack of honoring their contract. Chevrolet stepped up to the plate and both Bourdais and Legge were able to contest the Indianapolis 500.
The team was down to one engine only per event, and thus team owner Jay Penske and his staff decided to give their rookie, Legge, more oval experience. Bourdais would do the road/street circuits. The change to Chevy power saw the Frenchman finally challenge his former rivals on Belle Isle, but it was the Toronto race, that Bourdais was able to challenge for the victory.
In qualifying, Bourdais made it into the fast six shootout, and challenged for the pole. He landed on the second row in fourth. During the race on the streets of Toronto, Bourdais was challenging for the lead, but he was bumped out of a podium finish on the final restart.
At the recent IndyCar race in Mid-Ohio, Bourdais gave it his best shot in qualifying, and just missed the final six showdown. During the race, the Frenchman was showing the signs of a racer who still had what it takes.
The battle for the podium positions was intense during the 85 laps of hard racing. In the closing laps, Bourdais just missed his first IndyCar podium. Bourdais left Ohio with his best IndyCar finish (4th) since he joined the series last year.
“Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong this year, but this was very good for us,” Bourdais reported. “To get a result like this in the bank is important in the owner’s points as we need to stay in the top 22, so this will be a big help for us.”
The champion driver has not been idle in other racing series, and recently added another race to his win column. Bourdais accepted the ride with Peter Baron’s Starworks team (and might yet again climb back into the cockpit of the Ford Riley), and he and Alex Popow scored the win in the Grand-Am Rolex Series debut race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s road course.
“This is a very special day,” said Bourdais. “I felt really strong in the car, even though we were down on straightaway speed. I’ve won a race a year for many seasons, so it was good to get this out of the way.” He is back with the Rolex Daytona Prototype team this weekend at Watkins Glen.
Of course as of yesterday, the Frenchman may be concerned about his future IndyCar events for the rest of the season. The up and down year for Bourdais and his teammate Legge continues, and of course the two drivers will not make any comments at this time on the hot water their team owner is now in.
Jay Penske and his older brother Mark Penske were arrested on early Thursday morning and charged with breaking and entering of a building in Nantucket at the yacht club. The fallout could include the sponsors and any other financial backing.

Revenge is the gift that keeps on giving. After fifteen years of writing and playing some of the most bestial and aggressive black metal out there, Revenge still manages to up the extremity on Behold.Total.Rejection. James Read and Vermin are the two men behind all the music, and James Read in particular is somewhat of a legend in the War Metal scene considering his work with Conqueror in addition to Revenge. With War Metal, or Bestial Black Metal as it’s also called, many bands often fall into the mistake of simply plagiarizing or mimicking Blasphemy, and of course Revenge takes a lot of influence from them, but they have managed to find their own identity and sound.
Behold.Total.Rejection follows much in the same vein as previous releases; there are no interludes or breaks of any sort here, just 40 minutes of extreme aggression and chaos. The vocals are varied, shifting between an insanely deep growl and fast paced growling. What maybe leaves most of an impression is the drumming though. It so incredibly punishing, every beat feels like a kick to the face and a punch in the ribs. The crazy thing though is that while managing to sound like a fucking freight train there are also some very catchy beats, mainly on the tracks Silent Enemy, Scum Defection (Outsider Neutralized) and Nihilist Militant (Total Rejection). These tracks are also those that stands out the most for me in terms of overall songwriting. The drums simply elevate those songs and the whole album to another level.
As with the rest of the album, the riffs are chaotic and eviscerating for almost the entire 40-minute playtime, there are a couple of groovy riffs every now and then, with Mobilization Rites being the best example of this. At the four-minute mark there’s a groovy doom riff in the midst of the sonic warfare going on that really helps in breaking up the monotony.
If there’s one thing Behold.Total.Rejection has, it’s replay value. Even though it’s a somewhat difficult album for the uninitiated to really get, the satisfaction you get when it clicks is massive and the need to click replay over and over is definitely there. The 40 minutes fly by in what seems like mere minutes even though the sound is generally really hard on the ears.
I think I would go as far as to say that Behold.Total.Rejection is my favorite Revenge album and it’s definitely in my top 10 of the year so far. Extremely solid from start to finish, no fillers, no bullshit.

On Friday night, my husband and I were invited to go see Disney’s newest movie, Into the Woods. We’ve done movie pre-screenings before but this was our first time in the Disney theater. What a treat!
As a child, I grew up reading Grimm’s Fairy Tales. I remember clearly what the book looked like, and I believe I still have it packed away in a box of “things you must never, ever get rid of” for my kids. I lived in the country and read from an early age, and I read each fairy tale over and over. I was so excited to learn that Into the Woods incorporates them into the movie but otherwise, I had no idea what we were in for.
The studio was packed to the gills, with a bathroom line equally long. There was no way I was getting up during the movie. You know what I’m saying. As in any Disney movie, the special effects were astounding. When a certain giant roamed the village, you felt it. In fact, the whole movie rode the line on the edge of humor and suspense and just when you thought you knew where it was going, it took a different turn. All I need to say is Johnny Depp and you can imagine.
If you’ve seen any trailers, you know the cast is stellar. While Johnny Depp’s involvement is pretty short-lived, you’ll walk away talking about it but Meryl Streep headlines the movie and her voice is show-stealing. I have to admit that musicals aren’t my favorite movie genre, but that didn’t take away from our experience. Chris Pine was in the movie, who can say no to that? The “Agony” scene and his infamous line, “I was raised to be charming, not sincere.” You’ll have to see it to know what I’m talking about but I’ll give you a clue: ripped shirt. Ahhhh…
Where was I again? Oh, yes, the movie.
I knew Anna Kendrick could sing but as Cinderella, she is cast perfectly, as is Emily Blount, whose voice will probably surprise you. I wondered the entire movie who Lilla Crawford was, and I’m going to be following her — no doubt she’s got quite a career ahead of her.
The movie is a tad over two hours, so get your snacks and drinks before it starts. And that potty trip I mentioned. It could be a little darker for smaller children, but not in a scary way. I think all my kids would have been fine seeing it from age six or so, and maybe younger, but it is literally a darker movie based on its location and the premise of the witch, so keep your kids’ level of maturity in mind given the length.
Go check out the movie. Don’t rush. Take time to smell the flowers…Johnny Depp says so.
I did it on the way out, wandering through the outside of the studios getting some photos. This one of Christmas decor is a favorite, and is just a very small demonstration of what the campus looked like and Disney’s vast, all-encompassing attention to detail. A long line of shiny, almost glowing, silver ornaments hanging at various heights combined with the ground lights and the color of the pillars? I loved the composition.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Greensboro police and a local family need your help in finding a car that hit a 5-year-old in a Walmart parking lot.
That car kept going, leaving the child on the ground.
"Me and my brother were in my grandma’s van. I ran across the street. I was trying too," says 5-year-old Kmarion. "Then I hit the passenger door and then I fell down.
He remembers his Tuesday afternoon trip to Walmart quite clearly.
"I got rolled over," he said. "It did hurt."
His left ankle is now in a splint as doctors wait for the swelling to go down enough to take better X-rays.
"It ain't feeling better," Kmarion says.
He's in good spirits, but his mom, Charlita Hamilton, is worried.
"I just watched the surveillance video yesterday. You can see the car hit him from the front passenger side of the car," Hamilton says. "He hit the car and rolled over and fell. The car ran over his leg."
She wasn't there when it happened but says just watching the surveillance footage made her heart drop.
"I was terrified. I was scared. It's crazy to see the car hit my child and keep going. I think that's the most traumatic part for me," she says.
Hamilton tries to make sure her sons are safe while crossing streets.
"I practice with them. 'When you're going into Walmart what do you do?" she says. "He's 5. He's still going to run."
She says the driver could have stopped and been more cautious.
"He was not going to be able to avoid him because he ran out so fast. I'm not trying to blame him for hitting him, but it's their fault because they didn't stop," said Hamilton. "I think people should be more cautious when they're driving in parking lots. This car was going pretty fast."
They know Kmarion is lucky.
"It could have been a lot worse. A whole lot worse. But I'm glad it's just his leg," she says.
They're praying that the driver comes forward soon.
"We want the dark blue car to get caught," says Kmarion. "We want everybody to help us."
Police are looking for a dark blue Dodge Avenger with tinted windows.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Greensboro Police Department or Crimestoppers.

There has been, for some years now, serious disagreement in theoretical finance about the nature of investor decision making. In an upending of the usual formulation of Sayre’s Law, this particular academic argument is vicious, precisely because the stakes are so high.
There are two main sides in the debate. This is how a finance professor might respond, if a junior postgraduate student asked about it. Firstly, there is traditional finance, in which it is assumed that people make investment decisions in conformity with the von Neumann-Morgenstern axioms of utility theory, and Bayes’ formula.
Secondly, there is behavioural finance. It assumes nothing of the sort. Instead, investors display Friedman-Savage double-inflection utility functions, and make decisions in accordance with Kahnemann-Tversky prospect theory. Oh, and they also satisfice (this is not a spelling mistake) under conditions of Simon (1957) bounded rationality. [Understand?—Student suddenly remembers urgent appointment, and makes a run for it.]
Have sympathy for that student: this explanation is useful only as an illustration of why he will probably spend his first postgraduate year wandering around campus in a semi-permanent state of dazed confusion. For our purposes, we’ll stick to plain English. The position in traditional finance: investors are rational. In behavioural finance: investors are their own worst enemy.
In traditional finance, people are cold, calculating analytical machines. In the behavioural version of events, they are chaotic and emotional, and prone to a colourful collection of human failings. Investors are overconfident, excitable and lazy. Lots of things frighten them: regret, loss, change, doing statistics. They frequently make shockingly poor investment decisions.
Award round one to the behaviouralists. It’s pretty clear that their description of human nature sounds about right. But the traditionalists do not give up so easily. They say that individual irrationality may be rife in financial markets, but it does not reign supreme. Instead, there are forces that keep it in check, and even if market equilibrium is sometimes shattered, it is always restored. In other words, markets are efficient. Problem is, the academic evidence for market efficiency is famously ambivalent. So round two is a draw.
As for round three, there is one fundamental part of finance in which behaviouralists have, so far, failed miserably and unambiguously: they have no asset pricing models with the mathematical elegance of those in traditional finance.
So neither side has yet emerged as a clear winner. Thus, back in the real world, finance professionals are left applying an awkward hybrid of the two theoretical positions, and investment finance remains as much an art as it is a science.

The difference between President Obama and the Republican presidential nominee Mitt Rominee and their defense platforms fall to their budgets. Otherewise, there’s not much to debate, said Michael O’Hanlon, senior fellow at Brookings specializing in defense and foreign policy issues.
O’Hanlon went further. He said Romney’s defense plan mimics the one put forth by Obama in 2009.
The Obama administration plans to cut back the Army and Marine Corps by about 80,000 and 20,000, respectively, to begin reducing personnel costs. Obama also plans to drop ship building for the Navy down to nine ships a year.
Romney has balked on manpower cuts and would increase ship building to 15 ships per year. He even said Saturday that his administration would buy more F-22s for the Air Force.
“The difference [between them] is important but not necessarily earth-shattering, not necessarily tectonic,” he said. “You can almost imagine this as Obama 2009 versus Obama 2012 in terms of the range of debate over the proper future of our budget.”
This is one of the reasons that defense spending and the war in Afghanistan are not the go-to topics when the candidates are on the stump, said O’Hanlon at a panel discussion hosted by Brookings on the upcoming election.
Romney said he likes Obama’s 2009 Defense budget better than the 2012 budget, O’Hanlon said.
In 2009, the new president planned on modest defense growth to meet procurement needs. But as the deficit became more widely viewed as a national security threat, the Pentagon was expected to make cuts along with the rest of government.
The Pentagon came up first with about $400 billion in cuts over a decade. Obama and former Defense Secretary Robert Gates then added roughly another $100 billion to the total.
O’Hanlon said he has not been able to determine exactly what Romney would do if he’s elected.
“[I]it’s not entirely clear to me if Governor Romney would reverse those initial modest cuts that Gates made, or only reverse the cuts that Obama made … and then put them in his budget plan and present that to Congress in February” if he is elected,” O’Hanlon said.
On closer inspection, the amount that would be cut under Obama’s plan is not even the roughly $500 billion projected because he had already planned on adding more than $100 billion to the Pentagon budget, O’Hanlon said.
As a result, the 10-year reduction in DoD spending would actually come out closer to about $350 billion.
And even with those kinds of cuts, he said, Pentagon spending by 2015 would in be on par with what it spent during the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars under the Bush administrations. During a second panel on foreign policy, panelists also noted few differences between Obama and Romney. Both see an end to an American combat role in Afghanistan by 2012, with Romney taking issue only with Obama’s having signaled when troops would start coming out and in what numbers.
Both also agree to the so-called pivot in the Pacific, where the U.S. anticipates growing its naval presence to reassure allies and stem the rise of China in the region.
But Obama’s emergence as a commander-in-chief willing to escalate the use of drones against enemies in Afghanistan and even Pakistan have all but stripped the Republican party of its long-held image as the hawk when it comes to war.
Obama’s decision to go ahead with military commission prosecution of detainees still being held at Guantanamo Bay, meanwhile, has also taken away what would have been a GOP argument against the President.
That may be one reason Romney has made it a point to claim he would be more forceful in his defense of Israel when it comes to dealing with Iran over its alleged nuclear program, according to Benjamin Wittes, senior fellow in governance studies at Brookings.
“I think it’s very important for Romney to create differences around that issue,” Wittes said. “It gives him a way of talking to certain domestic constituencies.”
Though most Jewish Americans vote Democrat, Romney’s hope is to reduce the margin of Obama’s vote among Jews, according to Wittes.
“But also,” he said, “Israel has an independent appeal to a lot of very conservative voters irrespective of whether they’re Jewish.”

Centre for Homelessness Impact
End It With Evidence ambassador and Labour MP, Stephen Timms, explores the value of adopting an evidence-based approach to policy in his London constituency.
My East Ham constituency in London is at the very sharp end of the housing crisis. Rents are unaffordable on the wages of many working families in the area. East Ham has the highest rate of household overcrowding in the country, and 27,000 people are on our social housing waiting list. I tell people at my constituency surgeries it might be 15 years or more before they are allocated social housing. Before the pandemic, Newham had the third highest rate of street homelessness in London. We need to address these challenges with evidence and research.
This particularly strikes me when talking to families in temporary accommodation. Local authorities have a duty to provide temporary accommodation for families who become homeless. In Newham that is 5,500 families with children — more than the entire North of England combined. Our local authority manages to procure this accommodation in an incredibly challenging market. It can be a lifeline for families.
But temporary accommodation can be poor quality and is often damp and overcrowded. Having to move at 24 hours’ notice can be distressing and disruptive, especially for children. Out-of-area placements are particularly problematic, and can move already vulnerable families away from work, schools and support networks.
Temporary accommodation is also very expensive. Local authorities in England spend an average of £12,500 per person a year - that’s £240 a week per person on temporary accommodation. Spending by local authorities on temporary accommodation has risen by 55% in the last five years.
Is this the best way to support homeless families? The truth is, we simply don’t know. A lack of rigorous research of policy interventions to end homelessness has left large gaps in the evidence base. Large sums are being spent on temporary accommodation, with a poor evidence base and a shoestring of strategy.
The Centre for Homelessness Impact has shown that Councils can make large cost savings with alternative approaches, such as supporting people to live in private rented housing. It used its Housing Costs Calculator to estimate the cost of private rented sector accommodation with additional support and found that moving a quarter of households in temporary accommodation to supported housing in the private rented sector in the 15 local authorities with the highest rates of temporary accommodation could save £500 million over five years. That’s including additional costs such as voids, rent collection, moving in, incentives paid to landlords and bespoke support.
This is one of the types of alternative housing interventions that would benefit from a trial to see if these savings — and the benefits to the families — accrued as expected. By testing out variations, we could see what works most effectively.
The Centre for Homelessness Impact wants to encourage this type of research-informed policymaking to become standard in the housing sector. We need a more effective, and cost-effective, approach to meeting the needs of people experiencing homelessness.
What we know and don’t know about the effectiveness of different interventions to help tackle these issues is where our attention should be focused and that’s why the End it with Evidence campaign is so useful.
This approach will be valuable for bigger picture questions too: I chair the Work and Pensions Select Committee and have long wondered how we can switch some of the vast sums spent in the benefits system on housing support into building affordable homes. We need evidence.
We also need more evidence on household overcrowding. There is a very strong basis of evidence and research around the physical and mental health impacts of overcrowding on children, but this needs to be drawn through by Government to address the problem in practice.
That’s why I support the Centre for Homelessness Impact’s End It With Evidence campaign. It is vital we continue to improve our understanding of what works in tackling homelessness and housing insecurity.
* The Rt Hon Stephen Timms is MP for East Ham and Chair of the House of Commons Work and Pensions Select Committee.

A Rye non-profit is retiring $1.5 million of medical debt belonging to people that earn less than 2x the federal poverty level. R.I.P. Medical Debt, founded by Craig Antico and Jerry Ashton, is housed at Serendipity Labs on Theodore Fremd.
The NY Times had the story:
"If a slim, yellow envelope with a Rye, N.Y., return address lands in your mailbox this holiday season, don’t throw it out. It’s not junk.
Some 1,300 such envelopes have been sent to New Yorkers around the state, containing the good news that R.I.P. Medical Debt, a New York-based nonprofit organization, has purchased their medical debt — and forgiven it.
Last spring, Judith Jones and Carolyn Kenyon, both of Ithaca, N.Y., heard about R.I.P. Medical Debt, which purchases bundles of past-due medical bills and forgives them to help those in need. So the women decided to start a fund-raising campaign of their own to assist people with medical debt in New York.
Over the summer months, the women raised $12,500 and sent it to the debt-forgiveness charity, which then purchased a portfolio of $1.5 million of medical debts on their behalf, for about half a penny on the dollar."

Trump Calls Executive Privilege Before Barr Contempt Vote - Page 2
Fight over the unredacted version of the Mueller report rages on
Posted May 8, 2019 9:43 AM CDT
- The AP reports that the two sides attempted to hammer out issues on Tuesday night related to how many lawmakers and staffers would be permitted to see the report and whether the DOJ would "work with the committee to gain access to secret grand-jury material." However, per the AP, there was no agreement on any of those points.
- The Washington Post has more from Boyd's Tuesday night letter, which argued that while the DOJ tried to compromise, the committee "has responded to our accommodation efforts by escalating its unreasonable demands. Such unreasonable demands, together with the Committee’s precipitous threat to hold the Attorney General in contempt, are a transparent attempt to short-circuit the constitutionally mandated accommodation process and provoke an unnecessary conflict between our respective branches of government."
- Nadler's reply to Boyd's initial letter: "This is, of course, not how executive privilege works." The AP elaborates on that, reporting it's unclear how executive privilege could be applied to the report, which has been made public in redacted form. Executive privilege "is the president's power to keep information from the courts, Congress, and the public to protect the confidentiality of the Oval Office decision-making process," it explains.
- In comments to CNN prior to the vote, Nadler said, "Certainly, it's a constitutional crisis, although I don't like to use that phrase because it's been used for far less dangerous situations. We are in one because the President is disobeying the law, is refusing all information to Congress."

Every year from September 15 to October 15, Passaic County Technical-Vocational Schools, along with the rest of the country, celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month by honoring the community’s history, heritage, and contributions of the ancestors of American citizens who came from Mexico, Spain, the Caribbean, and South and Central America.
The month-long celebration culminates with the highly energetic and lively PCTVS Hispanic Heritage Assembly Program featuring numerous cultural dances, songs, music, and theatrical skits all presented by our incredibly talented students, many of whom are members of the School of Performing Arts. The day’s events, sponsored by the PCTVS Hispanic Heritage Committee, are presented during six separate assemblies for different parts of the student body, teachers, and administrators. There was even a scheduled evening performance for family and friends!
Students at PCTVS have always celebrated Hispanic Heritage in a very big way with a production written, choreographed, and performed by its outstanding students. The show opened with PCTVS Performing Arts Dancers dancing down the aisles of the school’s auditorium, accompanied by the music of PCTVS’s award winning Ensemble Band. The opening number was an extremely energetic prelude to the rest of the show, which was highly entertaining and very well performed.
Won stage students explored the many rich cultures of different Hispanic Communities with short skits and readings that spoke of the traditions of the past. There were some anecdotal stories which depicted small narratives of Latin culture that were both entertaining and informative. Witty dialogue gave way to upbeat, high-energy tunes with Latin flare and dances that combined both tradition and modern style. Select students also sang Spanish ballads on stage.
Hispanic Americans have always been essential to the achievements and growth of the U.S. Their contributions to the nation are endless, and they exemplify the best of American standards and values. The Hispanic-American community has left an indelible mark on the United States economy, culture, and identity.
The annual PCTVS celebration of Hispanic Heritage is largely accredited to the instructors and students who generously donated their time in putting this incredible event together. Thank you to all those who contributed to this amazing and enlightening performance!

Director- Edgar Wright
It seems as though being an actual original film doesn’t seem to count for anything in the summer blockbuster age. Currently trilogies and reboots are dominating the box office and I kind of feel that Baby Driver is not getting the recognition it deserves. Director Edgar Wright who is more known for his satirical comedies such as Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, I think will be interesting to see what he will do with a crime film. The cast is definitely star-studded as well with multiple award-winning best actors such as Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx and John Hamm. I have been hearing a lot of positive remarks about Baby Driver so I had to take it for a spin.
“Baby” (Ansel Elgort) is a getaway driver for the most upscale heist and works under the criminal mastermind Doc (Kevin Spacey) along with the crew Bats (Jamie Foxx) Buddy (John Hamm) and Darling (Eiza Gonzales). As a child Baby was involved in a fatal car accident that claimed the life of his parents and left him with Tinnitus which is a ringing that often occurs in his ears. Baby now lives with his foster-father and does not speak much rather just listens to his iPod which consistently changes depending on his mood. and records different things such as conversations which he remixes and listens to them back. After finally completing his last job Baby is set free, meets the girl of his dreams and tries to settle into a normal life until Doc approaches Baby about one last score he must do for him. If Baby refuses Doc and the rest of the crew are prepared to do him and all of his loved ones harm.
“He is a good kid but a devil behind the wheel”
“If you don’t see me again im probably dead”
“Have we met before. Are you still alive. Then we aint never met before”
“Dont feed me any more lines from Monsters Ink it pisses me off”
“The good news is you like driving and your going to have to have the foot on the gas for the rest of your life”
“Cant wait for the days that it just us music and the road”
- Incredible use of sound such as sirens, gun shots, horns, car noises, screeches braking etc that tell a story.
- One take of Baby walking the streets after a heist
- Camerawork of payout from final deal
- First date revolve cam.
- Shot of Batts getting killed in getaway
- Future shot of Debbie and Baby in black and white
- Some of the most classic songs ever recorded compiled into one film
Ansel Egort is definitely starting to build up his repertoire as far as films go that need a talented twenty something year old. He also plays up his heart-throb image as the bad boy girls love and even though he didn’t speak much he carried his role well with great charisma. I loved Lily James here too as she was adorable small town Debbie that was the rare hot girl with the sweet personality. We have seen Jamie Foxx in this paranoid comedic criminal role before and it is fun whenever he taps into this realm. John Hamm is simply a bad ass and reaffirms that in this never say die performance. I’m pretty sure the casting list for the Buddy role had John Hamm and John Hamm only and luckily he was able to do this film. Kevin Spacey is great here as he always plays well as the man in the middle or the one who orchestrates so to speak. He was very witty and humorous but was scary and a menace when need be. Everything you would expect from a huge named cast.
After Buddy’s girlfriend Darling dies in the final heist Buddy blames Baby and begins to hunt him. They square off in a parking lot that continues with the theme of great car sound effects. There is a cool shot where Baby and Buddy look each other dead in the eye though wholes in the glass right before they confront each other. A strange bumper car moment ensues where Baby is able to push Buddy’s car off a high story of the garage. Buddy is ultimately killed dramatically with his car going up in flames
For me Baby Driver checked all the boxes as far as being a great film. It is fresh and innovative and action packed. There are great performances by big name actors. There was humor mixed with crime but not quite at the Quentin Tarantino level. Mixed in was a little Fast and the Furious how the hell do you do that with a car and still survive to tell about it. By the way how does someone ever learn to drive a car that good anyway? The story is absolutely nothing new but the way that it is told is what separates it from its predecessors and for that alone is deserving of a look. There is an incredible level of detail and attention to sound which I feel is often one of the forgotten arts in cinema. Whether it was screeches or horns, peel offs, sirens, gun shots or braking it was all done very masterfully. There was a distinct cadence at which all these noises came together to tell a story. You could honestly watch some of the chase scenes with your eyes closed. Not to mention sounds from the best songs ever recorded in history. If you could make a film about your life and have any song incorporated within a scene, that is exactly what Baby Driver delivers on, a stylish soundtrack being displayed on a silver screen.


Jammu: The State Investigation Agency (SIA) of Jammu and Kashmir has submitted its chargesheet in a court here in connection with a terror-financing case, in which three associates of terror operatives were arrested from the Sidhra bridge area last year and cash amounting to Rs 43 lakh was recovered from their possession.
The money was being transported from Punjab to South Kashmir.
The case was transferred to the SIA from the Jammu and Kashmir police last year.
“State Investigation Agency, Jammu submitted a chargesheet in a terror-financing case in the court on Friday,” an officer said.
According to the case details, a consignment of cash was being transported to south Kashmir from Punjab. A special team was constituted which set up a checkpost at the Sidhra bridge in the Nagrota area on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway on November 17 last year and intercepted a vehicle, the officer said.
The passengers of the vehicle were questioned about their movement but they could not give a satisfactory reply and on a thorough search of the car, two bags containing Rs 43 lakh in cash were recovered.
Further questioning of the accused revealed that the money was being transported from Punjab to south Kashmir for financing the terror activities of proscribed outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).
The arrested accused were in constant touch with their handlers across the border and terrorists based in south Kashmir.
Meanwhile, the State Investigation Agency (SIA) also conducted raids at 12 locations, including at the native house of the APHC Pakistan chairman in Bhadarwah, in connection with a terror-financing case, officials said.
The case was registered at the Gandhinagar police station and subsequently transferred to the SIA for an in-depth investigation, they said.
The sleuths of the investigating agency, with the assistance of the local police, carried out raids in Jammu, Kathua, Doda and Kashmir on Friday, the officials said.
They also raided a house in Bhadarwah’s Masjid Mohalla locality.
According to reports, raids were conducted at the residence and shop of a man selling electronic items.
The reports said the SIA raided the house of Zubair Khateeb in the Masjid Mohalla locality.
Zubair’s father Hussain Khateeb is reportedly in Pakistan for more than 20 years. Khateeb is associated with proscribed terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen.
The reports said a Wifi router was seized from his shop.

Shopping for health insurance requires comparing health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs, provider networks and types of plans.
Figure out your health plan eligibility
Your first step is to see the ways you can get health insurance. Maybe you can stay on your parents’ plan but also have access to coverage through an employer. Or perhaps you can get an Affordable Care Act (ACA) plan.
Once you figure out your insurance plan eligibility, you can move to the next step of deciding on a health plan’s benefit design.
Decide on benefit design
Health insurance plans have different names associated with benefit designs, including preferred provider organization (PPO), health maintenance organization (HMO), exclusive provider organization (EPO) and point of service (POS ) plans.
A plan’s benefit design can vary by whether you can get out-of-network care and if you need referrals to see specialists. The more flexibility and fewer restrictions you have in your plan, the more you pay for health insurance. That means PPOs usually cost the most and HMOs and EPOs are the cheapest plans.
Decide how much freedom you want in your plan, and then it’s time to compare costs.
Weigh premiums and out-of-pocket costs
Health insurance premiums are what you pay to have health coverage. These are a key piece of health insurance costs, but don’t forget about out-of-pocket costs like deductibles and coinsurance. These out-of-pocket costs come into play when you need health care.
See how much you would pay in premiums and compare those costs with out-of-pocket costs. For instance, if you’re comparing plans and one has a low premium with a high deductible, but the other has a higher premium and lower deductible, you need to figure out if you would rather pay more for coverage and less when you need health care or vice versa.
If you’re buying a health plan on the ACA marketplace, Bronze and Silver plans have the cheapest premiums but higher deductibles and out-of-pocket costs than Gold and Platinum plans. Gold and Platinum plans have higher premiums with lower deductibles. A Bronze or Silver plan could be a wise choice if you’re a young adult in good health and don’t expect to need much health care over the next year.
Check provider network
Health insurance companies contract with health care providers to create networks. These provider networks ultimately influence where you can get care and how much you pay.
If you have an HMO or EPO, you will likely have to stay within the provider network to get help from the health insurance plan. A PPO and POS generally allow you to get out-of-network care, but that comes at a higher cost.
Make sure the plan has a wide provider network in your area and your provider is on that network. You may otherwise have to pay all or most of the costs for out-of-network care.
Once you complete each step, you can choose between plans to find the right health insurance plan for you.

Wildfires in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) have taken a huge toll on the province’s ecosystem, incinerating more than 100,000 trees.
For the past two months, around 90 forest fires have been reported in various parts of KP. Most of the burnt trees were planted under the Billion Tree Tsunami campaign by the government in the last two years.
“We have yet to conduct a complete survey of the damage. Wildfires in forests are not new. Last year, six people died due to it,” Muhammad Themasip, project director of the Billion Tree Tsunami.
The Billion Tree Tsunami is an afforestation project that was introduced in 2014 by the provincial government to restore the green cover in KP.
Officials have revealed that more trees are expected to burn if the wildfires are not contained. Reportedly, the wildfires erupted after some individuals wittingly set bushes and trees on fire in Swabi, Mardan, and Swat areas of the province.
KP authorities have sought out help from Rescue 1122 and the military to extinguish the fires.

Nylon is really a little less then 2.5 situations lighter (g/cc) than metal when you compare stable shapes. But, when it comes to precisely developed time pulleys, abs may be around five instances light than metal, however effective at achieving the exact same torque and speed requirements. How is that possible? Just like many aluminum automobile wheels have four to six spokes to save lots of charge and weight without compromising power, stability or performance, the exact same principles apply when it comes to developing and molding timing pulley manufacturer.
The internet of the lever and the centre are made for power, material savings, and cost savings. For many abs pulley users, an aluminum internet is used to eradicate deflection, improve strength and reduce the potential for deformation during the chilling routine after molding. Plastic time pulleys can be offered as all plastic or plastic with an around cast material insert. These material inserts may be presented using aluminum, metal and metal and can be keyed, broached, splined or have collection screws as being a stable metal or metal pulley.
Both abs and aluminum pulleys may be given single or double line radial bearings pushed to the hubs. Equally can also be given single or dual flanges and offer a wide selection of the most frequent tooth profiles. Nylon pulleys may be provided as moved pulleys when two or more different pitch diameters are constrained onto a typical bushing and secured in to place.
As a result of continuous travel for efficiency and price savings in the automotive and different industries, it’s very popular to get plastic pulleys beneath the hood of your vehicle, in your dining table saw as well as operating your lawnmower. The materials business has come quite a distance in the past twenty years. New ingredients and fibers are available these days which allow product faculties to be fine-tuned for particular applications in a wide selection of industries. Oftentimes, they feature identical or remarkable performance than their steel counterparts.
Torque Sign companies time pulleys in a number of normal measurement and custom shapes – All offer superior efficiency and economic design. Because our time pulleys just involve a minimal quantity of strip strain to stop slippage, the showing loads on the driving length are considerably reduced.
The utilization of a time pulley and strip in automobiles is very important. They are necessary components of your car’s central combustion engine software that is accountable for handling the opening and ending of the engine valves. It is the position of the time belt and pulley to connect the crankshaft to the camshaft and synchronise them at the correct timing to help keep the motor running.
Together they provide a positive get by engaging the created teeth in the belt to the precisely spaced lines on the pulley. It’s the entering and causing of the strip teeth from the lever lines that produces a confident travel, resulting in a easier and calmer engine operation.
Moment straps have changed the use of older type timing stores generally in most car types’engines that have been popular throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Recently, however, timing restaurants have re-emerged on the market, producing a new trend of car suppliers to return to moment chain engine design. The re-emergence of cars with motors using moment restaurants have caused a significant distress in potential car homeowners over the decision of motor type they should get for.

Yesterday me and the missus took a ride into our hometown of Rhinebeck, New York to see what was up.
Just the usual. A dragon was seen flying low over Market Street.
Lenny's draft horses pulled a wagon around the downtown.
The stilt band played New Orleans jazz in front of the Beekman Arms. A dozen Grumpuses stopped traffic at the main intersection.
By nightfall the marching Highland pipe bands and giant snakes marched through the streets. Kids with crowns and decorated branches joined the parade.
And Sinterklaas arrived on a white horse in the old Dutch tradition. The catalyst for all this wonderfulness is celebration artist Jeanne Fleming and Wonderworks, well known for her Halloween Parade in New York City. She got thousands of people to work together for months building giant puppets and performing.

An image of the new E-Type successor was leaked online earlier this week by noted spy photographer Chris Doane, who revealed the exciting new two-seat roadster on his Facebook page.
The Jaguar F-Type was originally being prepped for launch at a glitzy ceremony at the Paris Motor Show next week.
Based on the stunning C-X16 concept car, which was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show earlier in the year, the new F-Type is a compact roadster with dramatic new styling.
This includes a new-look front light structure which includes a curved line of LED daytime running lights.
The sweeping lines are reminiscent of the Jaguar C-X75 supercar, whose motor show debut was one of the biggest surprises of 2011.
The Jaguar F-Type is expected to use two V6 engines and a range-topping 5.0-litre V8 unit as its engine options, pushing performance into something close to supercar territory.
Based on the larger Jaguar XK, the F-Type will be the smallest car in the Jaguar range, which also includes the executive Jaguar XF saloon and the luxury Jaguar XJ.
New Jaguar F-Type prices are expected to fall between £50,000 and £60,000 in the UK for entry-level models but this will increase significantly for range-topping versions.
The car is touted as a spiritual successor to the 50-year-old E-Type, described by many as the greatest car ever built and the most beautiful by Enzo Ferrari.
The new Jaguar F-Type will be available in Perrys Jaguar of Huddersfield in 2013.

Facemasks: the facts
It’s deeper than that, going right to the heart of the nature of rules and why we obey them or not.
First the facts. Facemasks do work. We know this from two types of study conducted during the pandemic: in the laboratory and real life experience.
For example a paper was published in the New England Journal of Medicine by a group of US scientists which used lasers to analyse the effectiveness of facemasks. When we speak we emit droplets of fluid from our mouths. These fluids can contain viruses. Whilst large droplets will fall to the ground, smaller ones can linger in the air, behaving like an aerosol. They found that the number of droplets was greater the louder people spoke and that the droplets produced were smaller than when people coughed or sneezed. It seems to follow from this that speaking to others is potentially more dangerous than coughing in their presence.
However when mouths were covered by a slightly damp cloth the droplets were suppressed.
Perhaps even more compelling are the emerging studies of real life experience. A study of 198 countries has found that those where facemasks are either the norm, or been legally enforced have emerged better from the pandemic than those where they are not.
There are also some compelling individual case studies like this from the Canadian Medical Association Journal which tells of a man who flew from China to Toronto with a dry cough and subsequently tested positive for Covid-19. He wore a mask on the flight. All 25 people closest to him on the aircraft tested negative.
So why has the medical opinion of facemasks changed? The WHO amended its guidance on 5 June to recommend medical grade facemasks for settings where physical distancing can’t be achieved and three layer ones for everybody else. Up until then the chair of its relevant committee was saying that there was insufficient evidence to argue for their use by the public. And England’s deputy chief medical officer was even suggesting they were “not a good idea” and their use could be dangerous.
We are learning more and more about Covid-19 as time passes, best practice in suppressing it is emerging, it is not immutable and will change as new evidence is published.
So if the evidence is hardening, why is it taking so long to introduce enforcement and why is there not a united approach across the UK?
First if we were totally focused on eradicating the disease we would not have come out of lockdown until it had been eradicated. The lockdown at Wuhan worked because it operated as a cordon sanitaire around the affected area. The reason this is not being followed is because of the impact such measures would have on the economy which is in serious enough trouble as it is.
There is an urgent need to re-start economic activity. The retail sector is one of the most vulnerable and enforcing face masks in shops when they were deemed unnecessary during lockdown seems a difficult message to some politicians. And the management of Covid-19 is down to politicians, not experts, despite the rhetoric of following the science.
Second there are cultural concerns around wearing masks in this part of the world – a sense that people would refuse to wear them.
There has not been much evidence of what American commentators call Branch Covidians in the UK and Ireland – the sort of people who would risk death for “liberty”. However there are plenty of devotees of the 19th Century philosopher JS Mill who wrote: “Over himself, over his own body and mind the individual is sovereign”. We’ve heard plenty of that kind of comment during the face mask debate. The trouble with this is that the purpose of the mask is primarily to prevent you infecting others. So the argument is invalid.
Next there is the growing realisation that, even though this sounds counter-intuitive, imposing a strict lockdown is much easier than coming out of it. The UK government’s behavioural experts thought that people would not adhere to the restrictions. In fact they were wrong, compliance amongst the general public was high.
However as soon as the rules have become less universal they start to feel arbitrary. For example in the case of face masks, what is the logic behind imposing them in shops, but not in offices, pubs or restaurants, when those in the latter venues are likely to be in a confined space with others for longer?
We have entered an era where the individual liberties that Mill and others wrote about are being replaced by a kind of supervised containment with government is laying out ground-rules for every day life. All this at a time when clear messaging: stay at home, save lives as been replaced by the vague paranoia induced by “stay alert”. Classic Millsian thinking about liberty may no longer be appropriate to surviving a pandemic, but that does not make the experience comfortable.
This is compounded by the confusion arising from regional governments deciding to adopt different measures than those announced from Downing Street. Face masks are just one example. They are already enforced in Scotland, will come into force in England from July 24. There’s been no announcement in NI to date. At a time when we need clarity of message most of us are confused. There’s no doubt that one time or another households have been following rules laid down by the wrong government!
Covid-19 is a global pandemic and for this reason the WHO’s Covid-19 special envoy David Nabarro has urged leaders of all nations to “find ways to collaborate for the sake of humanity quickly because the challenges are too great to be dealt with by countries pursuing separate agendas.” The UK can’t even achieve this between its constituent parts.
This is not just a matter of poor co-ordination it is also exposing serious weaknesses with devolution itself. Prime Minister Johnson might be purporting to make policy on Covid-19 for the whole of the UK. In practical terms he is only doing so for England, yet England does not have its own devolved institution. This might not matter so much when Tories are in power as they have a majority of seats there. But what if they had lost the election and a coalition of Labour and the SNP were in power? What mandate would it have for England? That would surely provoke a constitutional crisis.
Finally and crucially we get to the matter of trust. And trust in the UK government’s handling of the pandemic is in short and diminishing measure as all the polls demonstrate. And as trust diminishes it becomes harder and harder to impose rules. We need to believe that they are fair, and reasonable that they have some kind of moral purpose, and that they are universally applied.
During the pandemic there have been many instances where people in positions of power have chosen not to follow rules which they have applied to others. This undermines their moral authority. People are not fools and by exempting themselves from the precepts applied to others politicians are playing a very dangerous game. For without moral authority laws break the social contract between citizens and state. They are no more and no less than edicts backed by force. And with the police in England saying they will be unable to enforce compliance such measures will only work if the vast majority of people believe they will.
Perhaps that, as much as anything is behind the UK government’s reluctance to impose new ones.

Julie Chen Moonves returning to CBS to host ‘Big Brother’ after husband was ousted for sexual misconduct
ulie Suzanne Chen also known as Julie Chen-Moonves (born January 6, 1970) is an American television personality, news anchor, and producer for CBS.She has been the host of the U.S. version of the CBS reality-television program Big Brother since its debut in July 2000 and is the longest-serving host of any country’s version of the show. She was a co-host and the moderator of the CBS daytime show The Talk for eight seasons.Previously, she was a co-anchor of The Early Show on CBS.
The daughter of Chinese immigrants, Julie Chen was born in Queens, New York City. Her grandfather, Lou Gaw Tong, grew up “dirt poor” in the rural village of Penglai in the Fujian province of China, but became wealthy through a chain of grocery stores and ultimately became a polygamist with nine wives and 11 children. Julie has two older sisters, Gladys and Victoria.
Chen attended junior high school in the Whitestone area of Queens. Chen went on to graduate from St. Francis Preparatory School in 1987. She attended the University of Southern California and graduated in 1991, majoring in broadcast journalism and English.
One of her earlier jobs came in June 1990, interning at CBS Morning News alongside Andy Cohen – the series which she would anchor a decade later – where she answered phones and copied faxes for distribution. The following year, while still in school, she worked for ABC NewsOne for one season as a desk assistant. She was subsequently promoted to work as a producer for the next three years. The following year, she traveled to Dayton, Ohio, to work as a news anchor for WDTN-TV, from 1995 to 1997.During her time in Dayton, Chen underwent blepharoplasty, a surgical procedure to make her eyes appear larger.
From 1999 to 2002, Chen was the anchor of CBS Morning News and news anchor of CBS This Morning and later The Early Show, alongside Bryant Gumbel, Jane Clayson, Hannah Storm, Harry Smith, Maggie Rodriguez, Erica Hill, and Rene Syler. From 2002 to 2010, she was a co-host of The Early Show on CBS, before leaving the daily position but remaining as a special contributing anchor of the program until its cancelation. Before CBS News, she was a reporter and weekend anchor at WCBS-TV in New York City.
According to a press release announcing a slew of returning midseason programming for the network, Chen Moonves was confirmed as the host of “Big Brother: Celebrity Edition” Season 2. A spinoff to the long-running reality series, which puts contestants in a house outfitted with cameras, the celebrity version will air multiple nights for three weeks until the stars whittle themselves down to one winner.
While a second season of “Big Brother: Celebrity Edition” seemed inevitable, there was a lot of confusion about longtime host Chen Moonves’ involvement. She previously left her role at “The Talk” in September after at least 12 women came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Leslie. After her husband was booted from his high-powered position, Chen Moonves followed suit in what seemed to be an act of solidarity.
“I have been at ‘The Talk’ since the day it started nine years ago and the cast, crew and staff have become family to me over the years. But right now, I need to spend more time at home with my husband and our young son, so I have decided to leave ‘The Talk,’” Chen Moonves said in a pre-taped announcement at the time.
“Big Brother: Celebrity Edition” is set to return in January.

UPDATE: Power to NorthPark Mall was restored at 8:24 a.m.
UPDATE: MidAmerican told KWQC at 8:15 a.m. its crews found a faulty piece of equipment on a feeder line and work is now underway to switch customers to other circuits.
MidAmerican says at that point “if no other issues are found, line crews are estimating they can have customers restored within an hour.”
DAVENPORT, Iowa (KWQC) – Well, this puts a new spin on “Black Friday.”
A power outage around 7:00 a.m. on Nov. 25, 2016 left NorthPark Mall in the dark as early-bird Black Friday shoppers were looking for deals.
As of 7:20 a.m., MidAmerican Energy reported nearly 4,400 Davenport customers were without power, but the reason was not immediately available.
At 7:49 a.m., MidAmerican tweeted, “We don’t have a cause yet. Transmission and distribution crews were dispatched.”
Fans of KWQC’s Facebook page posted numerous updates about their own power outages.
“Neighborhood by marquette post office completely dark,” posted Andrea Lincoln.
Drew Jay offered a humorous explanation for the outage, posting “Clark Griswold plugged in his Christmas lights.”
