Today, we present a guest post written by Jeffrey Frankel, Harpel Professor at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and formerly a member of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. A shorter version appeared on January 13th in Project Syndicate.
At the end of his time in office Barack Obama merits an enumeration of some of his many accomplishments. The recollection should start as he started, on January 20, 2009: the pilot taking the cockpit just when the plane was in an uncontrolled dive.
The circumstances were the most adverse faced by any new president in many decades. He inherited two ill-conceived, ill-executed and intractable foreign wars, which had done nothing to bring to justice the main perpetrator of September 11. He inherited an economy that was in free-fall, whether measured by the seizing up of finance markets, the fall in GDP, or the hemorrhaging of employment. (The rate of job loss was running ran at 800,000 per month.) True, Franklin Roosevelt inherited the Great Depression and Abraham Lincoln took office just as the Civil War broke out. But what other president has come in facing both an economic crisis and a national security crisis?
The rapid policy response to the economic crisis included — in addition to aggressive and innovative monetary easing by the Federal Reserve — the Obama fiscal stimulus (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, passed by the Democratic Congress in February 2009) and rescue programs for the financial system and the auto industry. Republicans were near unanimous in opposing the stimulus. And almost everybody was critical of the rescue programs – urging either nationalization of the banks and auto firms, on the one hand, or letting them go out of existence on the other. There was and is insufficient recognition of how the Obama Administration succeeded, against all odds, at making the middle path work: jobs were saved, while shareholders and managers suffered consequences of their mistakes and the government got its money back after the recovery.
Most importantly, the free-fall ended promptly. The timing and clarity of the turnaround is much more visible than one would think by listening to debates on what was the right counterfactual to evaluate the effect of Administration policies. Economic output in the last quarter of 2008 had suffered a shattering 8.2 % p.a. rate of decline and job loss was running at 600,000 per month. The loss in output and jobs levelled out almost immediately after the February stimulus program. The bottom of the recession came in June 2009; output growth turned positive in the next quarter. Job creation turned positive early in 2010 and employment growth subsequently went on to set records all the way through the end of Obama’s time in office, adding more than 15 million jobs.
By the last half of Obama’s second term, the unemployment had fallen by half, to below 5% (2015 and 2016), wages were rising (by 2.9% nominal over the 12 months to Dec. 2016); and real median family income was finally growing too (by a record 5.2% in the most recently reported year, with lower-income groups advancing even more).
It is certainly true that the recovery was disappointingly long and slow. Reasons include the depth and financial nature of the 2007-08 crash and the early reversal of the fiscal stimulus after the Republicans took back the Congress in the 2010 election and blocked Obama’s further efforts. 2011-14 are the years when the economy really could have used infrastructure spending and (the right) tax cuts, but it would seem that Republicans only support fiscal stimulus when they are the ones in the White House — including when the economy is no longer in recession.
Obama’s other two biggest accomplishments in those first two years before the Congress starting blocking everything he tried were the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill and the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). In both cases, they would have been better without a succession of steps by the opposition party to weaken them, both at the stage of passing the legislation and subsequently. But each of those important reforms nonetheless succeeded in moving the country more clearly in the right direction than most people realize. Dodd-Frank in a variety of ways helped make less likely a repeat of the 2007-08 financial crisis. Among other things, it increased transparency for derivatives, raised capital requirements for banks, imposed additional regulations on “systemically important” institutions, and, per the suggestion of Senator Elizabeth Warren, established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Obamacare has succeeded in giving health insurance to 20-million-plus Americans who lacked it (for example, due to pre-existing conditions) and the cost of health care contrary to most predictions and perceptions slowed noticeably.
In the area of foreign policy, he made the tricky decisions that resulted in the elimination of Osama bin Laden (a goal in which George W. Bush lost interest, in his eagerness to invade Iraq). In 2015, just as the press was saying Obama was a lame duck, he achieved a string of foreign policy successes: a much-needed nuclear agreement with Iran, normalization of relations with Cuba, important progress to address global climate change, and agreement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Needless to say, the man who assumes the Presidency this month has said he will reverse most of these initiatives, if not all. In some cases, he will do exactly that. TPP is certainly dead, at least for the time being. (And four years from now will probably be too late to revive it, as East Asian countries may by then have responded to America’s withdrawal from the region by joining China’s trade grouping instead.)
In other cases, real-world constraints will make it harder to translate crowd-pleasing sound-bites into reality. Repealing Obamacare is apparently top of the list. But the Republicans are likely to be stymied by the absence of an alternative that does not take health insurance away from those 20 million Americans nor raise the net cost. Some important innovations, such as the switch to electronic patient record-keeping and more emphasis on preventative care, are bound to survive. Perhaps the eventual outcome will be relatively minor changes in the substance of the Affordable Care Act, together with a new name – the analog of building a big beautiful wall on a quarter-mile of the Mexican border as a sort of stage set suitable for photo opportunities.
Similarly, it is hard to see how pushing harder on China would produce desirable results. To take the most laughable example of ill-informed policy positions, if the Chinese authorities were to acquiesce to Mr. Trump’s demands that it stop manipulating its exchange rate, its currency would depreciate and its competitiveness would improve.
Similarly, if the Administration tries to carry out its promise to tear up the nuclear agreement with Iran, it will quickly find that US sanctions are ineffective without the participation of our allies. Iran could rapidly renew and accelerate its nuclear program. That is what happened with North Korea when George W. Bush essentially tore up the “agreed framework” upon taking office in January 2001.
Do the voters hold presidents accountable? Bush made other serious mistakes in economic and foreign policy as well in those early years, of course, with the predictable consequences for the economy, budget, and national security. Yet his poll numbers soared in his first term.
Conversely President Obama’s popularity sagged during much of his eight years. Yet he leaves office with substantially higher poll ratings than most presidents at this stage and – unusually – with much higher ratings than his successor, let alone his predecessor at the end. So apparently the person who occupies the White House does eventually receive the credit he is due for the intelligence of his policies and the content of his character, even though it takes longer than it should.
This post written by Jeffrey Frankel.

Last year in October, a group of cannabis companies filed a federal lawsuit claiming that a federal ban on cannabis is unconstitutional, but the suit was dismissed in January. On Friday, March 15, a new federal lawsuit was filed in court as Canna Provisions, Inc. et al v. Garland.
The case is represented by Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, is pursuing the rights of Verano Holdings Corp, Canna Provisions Inc., Wiseacre Farm Inc., and Gyasi Sellers, who owns a delivery service—all of which operate cannabis businesses in Massachusetts. The plaintiffs claim that the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) has hindered their businesses and prevents them from accessing legal, reliable banking services, and requires that they operate under constant threat of federal prosecution.
The new lawsuit claims that the intention behind the CSA was to prevent illegal cannabis from being moved across state lines, but now that so many states have implemented cannabis laws, legislators are no longer trying to enforce that. “Dozens of states have implemented programs to legalize and regulate medical or adult use marijuana,” the lawsuit stated, and continued on to explain that this has led to “safe, regulated, and local access to marijuana” for consumers, while also having “reduced illicit interstate commerce, as customers switch to purchasing state-regulated marijuana over illicit interstate marijuana.”
“The ground-shaking shifts in marijuana regulation… together with the nation’s long history of marijuana cultivation and use prior to the CSA, demonstrate the widely-held understanding that Plaintiffs’ marijuana activities implicate a liberty interest that requires protection,” the lawsuit continued. “Today, almost every state permits some form of marijuana that is illegal under federal law, and the majority of the nation’s population lives in states where both medical and adult-use marijuana is legal.”
Both the dismissed lawsuit and the newly filed lawsuit hinges on the 2005 court case Gonzales v. Raich in order to demonstrate how the CSA is outdated. “The federal criminal prohibition on intrastate marijuana remains in place, an unjustified vestige of a long-abandoned policy,” the 2023 lawsuit stated. “This unjustified intrusion of federal power harms Plaintiffs, threatens the communities they serve, and lacks any rational purpose.”
In January, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) called the original lawsuit a “transparent entreaty.” “Neither Plaintiffs’ contention that they are harmed by other federal laws and policies whose constitutionality is not challenged here, nor Plaintiffs’ allegations that some third parties have independently chosen not to transact with them, suffice to provide Plaintiffs with standing to challenge the CSA,” wrote the DOJ.
In response to this, the new lawsuit added text alleging that Congress was trying to prevent interstate cannabis. “Congress was intent on eradicating interstate marijuana, and the factual circumstances that existed in 2005 supported the Government’s position that banning intrastate marijuana was necessary for achieving that goal,” the lawsuit stated. “That legislative and factual landscape no longer exists. It has changed in the proceeding 18 years in ways that even the most ardent advocates of marijuana reform in 2005 would never have imagined possible.”
Law 360 spoke with Joshua Schiller of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, who explained that the newest litigation more directly challenges the Gonzales v. Raich case. He explained that the government has made recent movements contradicting the policy since October 2023.
One of the plaintiffs, Verano Holdings Corp, is a multi-state operator. While its business spans multiple states, Schiller explained the importance of its inclusion. “We like having a multistate operator just to show a different business, to show a different story about a different business,” Schiller told Law 360. “And even though it’s a multistate operator, each of its markets are intrastate. They’re not even allowed to bring a seed [across state lines].”
The news outlet inquired about why there was no mention of tax code Section 280E, which is a tax policy that prevents deductions and credits from being utilized by “illegal” businesses. “It’s a different case,” Schiller said. “That’s not to say [280E] is not punitive and damaging and therefore unfair. But it’s not the harm we’re seeking to redress. It’s a separate harm that would have to be litigated in a separate case.”
The timing of this case aligns with the recent shifts in federal policy. Last August, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) called on the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to reclassify cannabis as a Schedule III substance. NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano responded to the announcement with hesitance. “It will be very interesting to see how DEA responds to this recommendation, given the agency’s historic opposition to any potential change in cannabis’ categorization under federal law,” said Armentano. “Further, for decades, the agency has utilized its own five-factor criteria for assessing cannabis’ placement in the CSA—criteria that as recently as 2016, the agency claimed that cannabis failed to meet. Since the agency has final say over any rescheduling decision, it is safe to say that this process still remains far from over.”
It’s been approximately seven months since that HHS recommendation. Although there hasn’t been any updates from the DEA regarding the recommendation, Vice President Kamala Harris recently held a roundtable conversation about cannabis reform, alongside rapper Fat Joe, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, and more. “I cannot emphasize enough that they need to get to it as quickly as possible, and we need to have a resolution based on their findings and their assessment,” Harris said.

Come along with our host, Michael Newman, as he explores the state’s most memorable destinations (and meets a few interesting characters along the way). New Mexico True Television airs Sunday mornings in select New Mexico and Texas markets, but you can also check out the full episodes here.
Las Cruces is New Mexico's second largest city, and it offers a wealth of activity and adventure for the traveler. The Emmy award winning NM True Crew hikes, snacks, shops and sews (yes, sews) its way through just a small sampling of those available fun outings.
Ghost towns might or might not have actual ghosts, but what they all have in abundance is history. Lake Valley is no exception, with a rich heritage dating back to the 1800s and the boom of the silver mining industry in southern New Mexico. Along with sister “ghost towns” of Hillsboro and Kingston Lake Valley provides a glimpse back to what life was like decades upon decades ago in New Mexico.
This family-owned restaurant is relatively new, but the family history in the Mesilla Valley goes back generations. That heritage of chile farming and traditional cooking blends with the modern training of the restaurant's chef to create a menu that embraces all that makes this region special.
The never-ending search for the intriguing and unusual reaped big rewards in Las Cruces when the Emmy winning NM True Crew paid a visit to Art Obscura. The paired collections of antiques and collectibles with contemporary works of local artists make this a compelling place to visit. It’s all for sale, but “just looking” here is a treat as well.
There is a common saying that it is about the journey, not the destination. But after some hiking in the Organ Mountains outside of Las Cruces Michael and the NM True Crew might argue it is both. The climbs to higher ground included an abundance of both beauty and interesting information from their guide. And the views from the top…stunning.
The Emmy award winning NM True Crew explores this southeastern New Mexico city, with the help of schoolkids who wrote in to boast about all it has to offer. From treasure hunting to a heritage walk, from food to fun, the youngsters act as proud tour guides showing off all that Artesia offers.
There isn’t one good place to eat in Artesia, since it became clear to the Emmy award winning NM True Crew there are several. Young local tour guides lead a culinary adventure through the southeast New Mexico city, and the True Crew gets a taste of all Artesia offers for a hungry visitor.
You can find fun and adventure in the most unusual places, with a little help from a hobby known as geocaching. A young Artesia, NM fan of this treasure hunting takes Michael and the Emmy award winning NM True Crew on a search for hidden caches. And the thrills are more about the searching than the finding.
Artesia, NM boasts of a diverse and adventure-filled history. And a young tour guide insisted on taking the Emmy award winning NM True Crew on a walking tour of the amazing sculptures and maybe more amazing mural that capture all the excitement and rich heritage of this southeastern New Mexico city.

Earlier this week, Dave Meltzer claimed that a huge story was going to break regarding professional wrestling in Japan.
While many online speculated something breaking in regards to a relationship between New Japan Pro Wrestling and Stardom, it turns out that WWE are upping their efforts in trying to launch NXT Japan.
Although, they haven’t been successful in doing so at the time of writing.
According to Meltzer on a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, instead of launching the new NXT Japan brand from scratch, WWE tried to purchase the faltering Pro Wrestling NOAH league with the aim of using the existing brand as a launchpad for their new venture.
WWE allegedly want to purchase an existing outfit in Japan due to the difficulty of launching a new brand within the exicting framework of Japanese pro wrestling.
This appears to be the latest move in Triple H’s ‘global localization’ of WWE. So far, the company have Performance Centers in Florida (opened back in 2013) and London, England (opened back in January).

Not all cats and dogs fight like, well, cats and dogs. This is especially true for Halo and Harper of Toledo, Ohio.
The 8-month-old male cat and the 9-month-old female golden retriever love each other very much.
But it doesn’t always look that way. Harper and Halo might look like they’re fighting. But that isn’t the case.
They just like to playfully rough house. Sometimes they like to play hide-and-go-seek. Well, sort of.
Actually, Harper just likes to hide Halo.
Harper is so much bigger than her cat brother that when they cuddle together you can’t even see Halo.
To be fair, we’re not exactly sure if Halo consents to this.
Their dad took a video where he seemed to be a touch concerned about Harper’s behavior.
“Harper?” dad chides as the golden retriever hides her nose under her paw.
But it looks like she’s hiding something else under those big golden paws.
“What are you doing?” dad asks.
That’s when the good girl lifts her head up to reveal her little brother, who is the exact same color as her, lying underneath her.
“Oh, my goodness,” dad exclaims.
Though Halo had his mouth agape, he didn’t seem all that upset about it.
In fact, he looked kind of cozy. But that was just at first glance. Then we see Harper roll over on Halo a bit and that’s when Halo starts to gnaw at his sister. Then he goes into his playful attack mode.
“Poor kitty,” dad says just as the video ends.
More than 3.1 million people viewed Harper and Halo’s silly antics.
“I can’t tell if they’re friends or if the dogs holding the cat hostage,” said one commenter.
“The cat acted like he was embarrassed the humans saw him cuddling the dog,” said another.
Either way, it’s clear that these two are happy to be together.
It’s probably because of the golden retriever’s demeanor. According to Nylabone, golden retrievers are one of the best breeds to cohabitate with cats.
This is because golden retrievers are known to be kind and empathetic. So, they naturally accept cats as a part of their family.
However, it’s still important to train a golden retriever to not chase cats before they interact with felines.
But once that training is out of the way, golden retrievers and cats are likely to get along just fine.
Golden retrievers are also very affectionate cats and gentle so you can trust them to be careful around a smaller cat.
Since goldens are also very smart, they can sense if your cat is getting annoyed and will instinctively know to back off.
When first introducing your golden retriever to a cat, it’s important to have a lot of treats on hand and to do so slowly. You may want to start by introducing them through a window.
You can also introduce them to each other’s smells first by letting them smell each other’s toys or belongings.

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has signed grant agreements worth 1.3 million euros. This is in conjunction with 15 training centres to build capacity in agroecology in member states. The capacity-building programme is part of the implementation of the ECOWAS Agroecology Programme. It is further co-funded by the European Union and the French Development Agency.
The total budget of the grant agreements funded by the European Union was 1,320,784.43 euros, representing about 88,000 euros per centre. Also, it was for an average duration of 18 months and aimed at training 12,000 young people in the region.
The purpose of each grant is to establish a framework of collaboration between ECOWAS and the recipient centre for the implementation of the programme activities in West Africa. This was in a statement signed by the president of the commission, Dr. Omar Alieu Touray.
Hopefully, this will build a human resource- and environmentally friendly system. Therefore, there will be sustainable and increased agricultural productivity, which will create a resilient rural society. The 15 training centres, which were selected following due consultation and assessment, represent one per member state. It covers the 15 ECOWAS member states and is scheduled to end in 2024.
Also, ECOWAS seeks to improve the quality of training and the development of the centres’ capacities. The total target of the programme is about 12,000 young people, trained by 2024 in agroecology in the region.
The projects are called the Support Project for Agroecological Transition in West Africa. Also, the Support Project for the Dissemination and Implementation of Good Practices for Sustainable Agricultural Intensification.
Lastly, with a total budget of 16.2 million euros, PATAE is funded by the French Development Agency at eight million euros, and PAIAD is funded by the European Union at 8.2 million euros.

Winter hits country as mercury plummets to minus 10-C in Quetta
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast cold and dry winter conditions across the country after the minimum temperature in Quetta goes down to minus 10 degree Celsius.
The ongoing cold spell has intensified across the country wherein people have put on warm clothes to fight frosty weather conditions. The Met department has predicted intense cold weather conditions with wintry showers, strong winds, and light snowfall over the hills in Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan region during the next 24 hours.
Quetta and Kalat, two cities of Balochistan, were the coldest in Pakistan with minimum temperature of minus 10 degree Celsius and maximum of 10 and 11 degree Celsius respectively.
The minimum temperature in other cities were recorded as Kalam – 6oC, Dalbandin – 5oC, Skardu – 4oC, Karachi 14oC, Islamabad 2oC, Gilgit – 4oC, Lahore 3oC, and Peshawar 4oC.
Earlier, the weather department forecasted a fresh spell of cold weather in Karachi from December 4 (Monday).
The Met office then said the wind direction was likely to shift from north to south which would push the mercury down several degrees across the city.
It said a new spell of cold weather to remain continued for a week, adding, the weather was likely to remain moderately cool throughout the month of December and gradually transform into the winter season.

Families expressed their concern to neighborhood leaders tonight about an entertainment venue.
The Wichita City Council has a request regarding the conditional use to permit a "Nightclub-Event Center" at the northeast corner of 33rd St. North and Arkansas.
"I think that the homeowners are most concerned that there's going to be what is kind of titled a 'Nightclub.' I know it's a conditional use that would only be used on the weekends, but there are a lot of children in that community and the parents are very concerned about the additional traffic and noise," said Laurie Walker, operations director for Wichita Habitat for Humanity.
The proposed event center would be located north of a 42-home housing area that was developed by Wichita Habitat for Humanity. It would also be located within 300 ft. of the new Ortiz Elementary School on the southwest corner of that intersection.
"Concerned about people trying to avoid the cops, driving through and drinking and driving through our neighborhood. Kinda concerned with the noise. Concerned with lighting a little bit because I'm worried that's going to bring in some crime," said Mindy Tan, concerned mother.
The vacant building was a grocery store for a short period of time. The tenants say they signed a give-year lease on the building and want to open an event center venue that would serve alcohol and operate during the weekends.
The proposed hours of operation are Friday and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 1 a.m., and Sunday 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
"You've got a gentleman who's looking to try to use it on a limited basis, but the introduction of alcohol introduces a nuisance factor," said Bill Longnecker, senior planner for the City of Wichita.
Those concerns were echoed by the families who came out to voice their concern in front of the District Advisory Board meeting tonight.
"Most of the families who come into our program, that's their biggest concern is creating stability for their children and they're concerned that this might disrupt that to some degree," said Walker.
The Wichita City Council will consider the proposal at Tuesday's meeting.

Stresses in a Flywheel Rim : A flywheel, as shown in Fig. 1, consists of a rim at which the major portion of the mass or weight of flywheel is concentrated, a boss or hub for fixing the flywheel on to the shaft and a number of arms for supporting the rim on the hub.
The following types of stresses are induced in the rim of a flywheel:
1. Tensile stress due to centrifugal force,
2. Tensile bending stress caused by the restraint of the arms, and
3. The shrinkage stresses due to unequal rate of cooling of casting. These stresses may be very high but there is no easy method of determining.
This stress is taken care of by a factor of safety.
We shall now discuss the first two types of stresses as follows:
1. Tensile stress due to the centrifugal force
The tensile stress in the rim due to the centrifugal force, assuming that the rim is unstrained by the arms, is determined in a similar way as a thin cylinder subjected to internal pressure.
Let b = Width of rim,
t = Thickness of rim,
A = Cross-sectional area of rim = b × t,
D = Mean diameter of flywheel
R = Mean radius of flywheel,
ρ = Density of flywheel material,
ω = Angular speed of flywheel,
v = Linear velocity of flywheel, and
σt = Tensile or hoop stress.
Consider a small element of the rim as shown shaded in Fig. 2. Let it subtends an angle δθ at the centre of the flywheel.
Volume of the small element = A.R.δθ
∴ Mass of the small element,
dm = Volume × Density
= A.R.δθ.ρ = ρ.A.R.δθ
and centrifugal force on the element,
dF = dm.ω^2.R = ρ.A.R.δθ.ω^2.R
Vertical component of dF
= dF.sin θ
= ρ.A.R^2.ω^2.δθ sin θ
∴ Total vertical bursting force across the rim diameter X-Y,
= ρ.A R^2.ω^2
∫ π θ θ
= ρ.A.R2.ω2[ ]0 – cos π θ = 2 ρ.A.R^2.ω^2 …(i)
This vertical force is resisted by a force of 2P, such that
2P = 2σt × A …(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii), we have
2ρA.R2.ω2 = 2 σt × A
∴ σt = ρ.R2.ω2 = ρ.v^2 …( Q v = ω.R) …(iii)
when ρ is in kg / m^3 and v is in m / s, then σt will be in N / m2 or Pa.
2. Tensile bending stress caused by restraint of the arms
The tensile bending stress in the rim due to the restraint of the arms is based on the assumption that each portion of the rim between a pair of arms behaves like a beam fixed at both ends and uniformly loaded, as shown in Fig. 3, such that length between fixed ends,
1 = π D/n = 2 π R /n
The uniformly distributed load (w) per metre length will be equal to the centrifugal force between a pair of arms.
∴ w = b.t.ρ.ω2.R N/m
We know that maximum bending moment,
M = w l^2 / 12 = b t ρ w^2 R (2 π R/ n )^2/12
and section modulus,
Z = 1/6 b × t^2
∴ Bending stress,
σb = M/Z = b t ρ w^2 R (2 π R/ n )^2/12 × 6/b t^2
= 19.74 ρ ω^2 R^3 / (n^2 t ) = 19.74 ρ v^2 R / (n^2 t ) …(Substituting ω = v/R) ……(iv)
= 3/4 σt + 1/4 σb = 3/4 ρ.v^2 + 1/4 (19.74 ρ v^2 R/n^2 t) ……(v)

Pak mulling naming Riaz Khan as special envoy on India
New York: Pakistan is contemplating appointment of veteran diplomat and former foreign secretary Riaz Mohd Khan as its special envoy on Indian affairs, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said.
"Yes, we are considering very senior former diplomat, former foreign secretary - a gentleman called Riaz Mohd Khan," Qureshi told CNN, referring to reports that Pakistan was to name a special envoy for informal talks with India.
Khan held the post of Foreign Secretary from 2005 to 2008 and had retired from it citing personal reasons.
Qureshi`s remarks came last night on the eve of his crucial talks with External Affairs Minister SM Krishna on the margins of the UN General Assembly session here, during which the slow progress made by Islamabad in probing the Mumbai attacks is expected to be the focal point.
India has suspended the composite dialogue with Pakistan since the Mumbai attacks in November last year and linked its resumption to Islamabad taking action against the perpetrators of the 26/11 strikes.
"We, as a government, want good neighbourly relations with India. (But) that does not mean we don`t have issues with them. We do have outstanding issues and we want them resolved," Qureshi said.

This is part of a series of posts from the filmmakers previewing the different films that will be screened at Portsmouth Short Film Night.
Music video or short film with musical accompaniment? Either way, Zack Richard’s film set to Phosphorescent’s “The Waves at Night” is compelling and beautifully photographed. Here’s what Zack had to say about the production:
The video started out as a camera test with a little storyline. It was shot one year ago entirely on route one bypass in Portsmouth and Kittery, ME.
I was very lucky, Cate Carson stars in the video and gave a great performance without any dialogue. The luck continued as I didn’t have a truck or trucker lined up when we started shooting. We found a trucker who let us shoot the cab of his truck and is in the video briefly. The whole video was shot in about 3 1/2 hours its a very simple story with an open ending.
Hoping to shoot more projects like it in the near future.
Zack grew up in upstate NY, his love of photography commencing at age 11 when he began taking B&W 35mm photos, developing and printing them in school (he still shoots with some of the same lenses he was using 20+ years ago). He graduated from The San Francisco Art Institute in 1999 with a BFA in Film. While there he had the good fortune to study with some of the legends of Underground Cinema including George Kuchar and Lawrence Jordan.He is a creative, innovative and resourceful director and cinematographer with extensive experience shooting feature
films, commercials, music videos and documentaries. His clients have included Hyundai, Terra Chips, Pedigree and Canyon Creek Ranch.
Zack lives in York Harbor, ME with his wife and three amazing children.
Come to Portsmouth Short Film Night on Sunday, February 24 at 7:30pm in 3S Artspace’s Store Gallery in Portsmouth, NH to see this and the other great short films being screened!


Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has poured over $10 billion into metaverse research this year alone. What is he spending on, and what does he hope to accomplish in building virtual worlds?
He offered some clues last week on The Joe Rogan Experience, which is by some metrics the most listened-to podcast in the world. The episode, which sprawled almost three hours, made headlines for Zuckerberg’s comments about his hellish morning routine and Hunter Biden’s laptop. But the interview also offered insight into his approach toward his tenuous, oft-ridiculed metaverse empire-building.
A new VR headset will arrive in October.
Meta’s newest virtual reality headset, a successor to the Meta Quest 2, will arrive in October, Zuckerberg announced. It will be the company’s first major VR launch since the name change from Facebook to Meta last fall.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Volvo will once again this year recognize two of North America’s safest fleets.
The truck maker announced it will once again recognize two North American trucking companies with the safest driving records and best safety programs. Each will be awarded $25,000 to put towards their safety-related activities.
Kriska Transportation won the 2014 award in the category for fleets running more than 20 million miles. This will be the seventh consecutive year the award has been presented by Volvo. It is co-sponsored by Michelin Americas Truck Tires.
“Nothing is more important in managing a fleet than maintaining a stellar safety record, and we are proud to honor the trucking industry’s best performers again this year,” said Göran Nyberg, president of Volvo Trucks North America. “Safety is a core value at Volvo, and we are proud to offer active safety technologies to help make the highways safer for everyone and passive safety features to help protect a fleet’s most valuable asset: The driver.”
“Michelin Americas Truck Tires is proud to continue our sponsorship of the Volvo Trucks Safety Award,” added Mike Cain, Michelin Americas Truck Tires vice-president of original equipment. “This award embodies the commitment to safety that has been a foundation of Michelin for 120 years, and we are thrilled to again participate with Volvo Trucks in recognizing the safest truck fleets in North America.”
All US and Canadian fleets that have at least five Class 8 tractors can enter. At least one of the trucks must be a Volvo.
Entrants will be ranked on their accident frequency rates and the quality of the accident prevention activities. Grand prize awards will be presented in two categories: over and under 20 million miles.
The deadline to enter is June 30, 2015 and the awards will be presented at the American Trucking Associations Management Conference & Exhibition in Philadelphia this fall.

The following species are eligible for Safe Harbor Agreements:
- Endangered, threatened or candidate species listed under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA)
- Declining or vulnerable species as defined in Fish and Game Code section 2089.4, including those proposed for listing under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) or those that CDFW determines may, in the near future, be candidate species or proposed for listing under CESA (e.g., Species of Special Concern)
To find out if a covered species is in your area visit the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) page, the BIOS mapping service, or consult with the nearest CDFW Regional Office.
The landowner applies for a SHA and works with CDFW to develop and implement management actions that will provide a net conservation benefit for the covered species.
The landowner maintains and improves baseline conditions throughout the term of the agreement and implements a monitoring program to evaluate the effectiveness of the actions.
Benefits to the Landowner
The landowner receives regulatory authorization for incidental take of covered species that may occur during management of the property enrolled in the SHA.
The landowner may alter or modify their property, even if it results in incidental take of covered species, so long as the baseline conditions are maintained.
If the Covered Species are defined as declining or vulnerable and later become listed as threatened, endangered, or candidate species under CESA, no further authorization or approval is required for incidental take of the species.
Benefits to the Species
The net conservation benefits provided by the SHA result in increased species populations and new or enhanced habitats. The Safe Harbor Agreement Program's collaborative stewardship approach helps ensure the preservation and recovery of California's biodiversity.
This section provides additional context and considerations for the Safe Harbor Agreement program. For more information, see Fish and Game Code section 2089.2-2089.25.
Funding – The funding assurance requirement for SHAs differs from that of Incidental Take Permits (Fish and Game Code section 2081(b)). For SHAs, CDFW is required to determine that sufficient funding is ensured for determining baseline conditions, monitoring, and carrying out management actions for the duration of the agreement.
Proprietary Information – Information received by CDFW and clearly marked as proprietary information is not public information. CDFW shall not release or disclose the proprietary information to any person, including any federal, state, or local governmental agency, outside of CDFW.
Public Information – Information that has been transformed into a statistical or aggregate form without identifying any individual owner, operator, or producer, or the specific location from which the information was gathered.
Access To Enrolled Lands – CDFW shall provide notice to the landowner at least seven days prior to accessing the land or water for any activity related to the agreement. The notice shall identify each person selected by CDFW, its contractors, or agents to access the land or water. A SHA does not provide the public a right of entry onto the enrolled land or water.
Selling Enrolled Lands – If a landowner seeks to sell, transfer, or otherwise alienate the land or water enrolled in the agreement during the term of the agreement, the person or entity assuming that interest in the property shall (a) assume the existing landowner’s duties under the agreement, (b) enter into a new agreement with CDFW, or (c) withdraw from an existing agreement under the terms provided in the agreement, as approved by CDFW.
Landowner Liability – Notwithstanding any other law, the landowner shall not be liable for any injury, and does not owe a duty of care, to CDFW, its contractors, or agents resulting from any act or omission described in a SHA.
Timeline – While there are no regulatory timelines for completing a Safe Harbor Agreement, the process could take as little as 3-5 months. Factors that may extend processing timelines include CDFW staff availability, complexity in project scope, the mechanism and timing of funding, covered species’ ecology, or CDFW’s role as CEQA lead agency.
CEQA Compliance - Issuance of a SHA constitutes a discretionary project within the meaning of the Public Resources Code, section 21065 subdivision (c); therefore requiring compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Thus, an environmental document must be prepared to analyze the impacts of activities included in the SHA unless the activities qualify for a CEQA exemption.
Neighboring Landowners - A landowner who owns land that abuts a property enrolled in a SHA shall not be required, for purposes of an incidental take permit, to undertake the management activities set forth in the SHA, if all of the following conditions are met:
- The neighboring landowner allows CDFW to determine baseline conditions on the property.
- The neighboring landowner agrees to maintain the baseline conditions for the duration specified in the SHA.
- CDFW determines that allowing the neighboring landowner to receive an incidental take permit for the abutting property does not undermine the net conservation benefit determination made by CDFW in the approval of the SHA.
Notification Requirements - The landowner must provide 60 days' notice to CDFW when they anticipate that incidental take may occur, if they intend to return to baseline at the end of the agreement, or if they plan to transfer or alienate their interest in the land or water.
Amendments - Agreements can be amended at any time with the mutual consent of the landowner and CDFW.
Federal Safe Harbor Agreements
The California Safe Harbor Agreement Program is comparable to the federal Safe Harbor Agreement Program. This allows for the development of joint state/federal Safe Harbor Agreements to cover species that are both state and federally-listed.
If a landowner has a federal Safe Harbor Agreement authorizing take for a dually listed species, they may request that the Director of CDFW find the federal SHA consistent with California State Safe Harbor Agreement Program Act. If it is found to be consistent, a SHA consistency determination (CD) (Fish & G. Code, §§ 2089.22 & 2080.1) is issued and no further authorization or approval is necessary under CESA.
SHA Consistency Determination Request Procedures
To initiate the SHA Consistency Determination process, an applicant must notify the Director of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife that they have received a federal Safe Harbor Agreement pursuant to the federal Endangered Species Act. The notice must include a copy of the federal Safe Harbor Agreement. There is no fee for SHA Consistency Determination requests.
Electronic copies (i.e., PDFs) of the required documents may be submitted to CDFW through the EPIMS Document Repository. For more information visit the EPIMS web page and follow the given instructions.
Alternatively, paper copies of the required documents can be submitted to:
California Department of Fish and Wildlife
Attn: Director’s Office
P.O. Box 944209
Sacramento, CA 94244-2090

I had a friend that took me to his house by a lake that kinda looked like this… we went to a drive in near by and sat on his hood and talked all night. It was in NJ, not too far away from my house in Rockland County, NY. Could never remember exactly where it was and I am no longer friends with him. Seems like a mystical place indeed until now..
Lol. I can take the mother f*cker

SEPANG: Nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi heaped praise on his Yamaha bike after finishing fourth on the first day of pre-season MotoGP testing at the Sepang International Circuit yesterday.
The Italian won four of his world championships with Yamaha before leaving for Ducati at the end of 2010, but has not won in the last 37 races.
After briefly topping the fastest times, Rossi eventually clocked in just 0.427 seconds behind leader Dani Pedrosa (2:01.157) and enough to convince the great that his reunion with Yamaha can see him back to winning ways.
“For sure today was such a big relief. The feeling on the bike is positive. My first impression of the bike is good,” a smiling Rossi told reporters at the end of testing day.
“I am more motivated now and more young after two years on the Ducati,” he added.
Rossi admitted that the last two months were a period of concern to him and had left him doubting whether he was still “a top rider”.
“In the last two months I was worried. After two (poor seasons) you have a lot of doubt. In the last two seasons, the results was quite bad and the difference (in timings) was huge,” he said.
He added that the Yamaha team had done a “good job” to improve the performance of the bike since he was last at the team two years ago.
“For me the bike is better than I last rode. The electronics system is better. The engine has more power,” he said.
Reflecting on his ill-fated spell with Ducati, he said: “The last season, it was frustrating. You try everything and there is no change. I don’t continue with Ducati because it is not my bike.”
But Rossi, who will turn 34 on Feb 16, said that he faces a struggle against father time as he seeks to reclaim his position at the top of the sport.
“(Dani) Pedrosa is at the top. I am already more older. I need to put in more effort,” he said.
Rossi won the 125cc title in 1997 and the 250cc championship in 1999 before moving up to MotoGP where he was world champion seven times between 2001 and 2009. — AFP

The Investment Performance of Low‐grade Bond Funds
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): BRADFORD CORNELL, KEVIN GREEN
- Published: Apr 30, 2012
- Pages: 29-48
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.1991.tb03744.x
This study extends the literature on the pricing of low‐grade bonds by examining the performance of low‐grade bond funds. The findings reveal that over the long run low‐grade bond fund returns are approximately equal to the returns provided by an index of high‐grade bonds. The relative risks of high and low‐grade bonds are more difficult to assess. Because of their shorter durations, low‐grade bonds are less sensitive to movements in interest rates than high‐grade bonds. On the other hand, low‐grade bonds are much more sensitive to changes in stock prices than high‐grade bonds. When adjusted for risk using a simple two‐factor model, the returns on low‐grade bond funds are not statistically different from the returns on high‐grade bonds.

Unraveling environmental influences on the spatial and temporal dynamics of cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Erhai during its early stage of eutrophication
Lake Erhai, a lake in the early stage of eutrophication, has been threatened by algal blooms (particularly the overproliferation of blue-green algae), which can have an impact on drinking water safety and the lake’s ecosystem. Understanding the governing factors of cyanobacterial blooms is critical for taking timely and effective action during this key eutrophication-transition period. However, long-term records of cyanobacterial bloom and its key dominating factors remain unclear. It is, therefore, essential to understand the bloom dynamics and the driving forces before any control strategies can be determined. We investigated the cyanobacterial phycocyanin concentration variability based on satellite observations from 2003 to 2019, by using the empirical orthogonal function analysis. We observed a decrease in the coverage of the dominant mode of variability in phycocyanin magnitudes compared to the period 2003 to 2011, with variations primarily occurring in the northern bays. The largest variability was identified to be predominant in July, and an apparent timing shift in variability was observed in December 2016 and 2017. The 95% quantile regression model indicated a distinct upper boundary response in cyanobacteria proliferation to the joint Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) concentrations, which occurred in summer from 2003 to 2011. An apparent response of cyanobacterial bloom to TP was observed during the winters from 2016 to 2019. Additionally, water level and TN: TP ratio played a central role in summer from 2003 to 2011, while from 2016 to 2019, TN: TP ratio was found to dominate in the summer months. In winter, air temperature turned out to be a significant modulating factor compared to water level. Our results suggest that implementing a phosphorus reduction strategy, while controlling TN: TP ratio and suitable water level manipulation, should be considered to ensure the sustainability of Lake Erhai, especially under a consistent global warming scenario.

The Story Behind Arctic Monkeys' Brianstorm...
2 April 2018, 16:01
Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm (Official Video)
We delve into the the anarchic opening track on the band's Favourite Worst Nightmare album.
Brianstorm is the opening track from Arctic Monkeys 2007 Favourite Worst Nightmare album.
Also the first cut to be taken from the record, the epic single packed a punch and showed their fans that their follow-up album meant business.
Released in April 2007, the thunderous track debuted at UK number 21 on downloads alone, before peaking at number two overall.
But where did the name and inspiration for their raucous and defiant single come from?
Brian is a real-life person who met the band while in their dressing room after a gig in Osaka, Japan. Needless to say, the guy was a real character, and left a lasting impression on the Sheffield rockers.
So much so they started writing a "brainstorm" about him.
As NME reports, frontman Alex Turner revealed: “When he left the room, we were a bit freaked out by his presence. So we did a brainstorm for what he was like, drew a little picture and wrote things about him.”
“He was right weird," added guitarist Jamie Cook. He just appeared with like a business card and like a round neck T-shirt and a tie loosely around it, I’d never seen that before. It felt like he was trying to get inside your mind. We were checking out his attire – it freaked us out."
"And I wonder
Are you putting us under
'Cause we can't take our eyes
Off the t-shirt and ties combination?
Well, see you later, innovator"
He added: “He definitely left a mark on us. He might have been a magician. He might even be here now. But if we ever find out who he was, it might spoil it.”
While the inspiration behind the track could be considered an open and shut case, the story of Brianstorm doesn't end there.
Last year the noughties single was given a new lease of life when it was confirmed that an actual storm named Brian would be hitting our shores.
The batch of bad weather came a mere few days after the deadly Storm Ophelia, which caused 80 mile-an-hour gale-force winds, flooding and even power cuts.
Though its name was a complete coincidence after being named by by Met Éireann, the joke wasn't lost on Arctic Monkeys fans or the band themselves, who warned fans to "take care".
Well it is a pretty dangerous track to be fair, still making an impact almost 11 years later

Someone explain to me please wtf is up with all these bowl games and to what they lead...?
Will the winners play against each other or something....?
Seems like there's a freaking different 'bowl' game on each day here...
each team has a 12 game reg season......if you make it to your conference championship game (if your conf. has one) you'll have 13....
additionally, if you win AT LEAST 6 games you're bowl eligible, thus giving you either 13 or 14 reg season games.
going to a bowl game is like a post-season reward for having such a good season. your school gets money, the players get gifts, you're granted extra practice (which is why alot of coaches accept bowl game invites for the younger players), and bowls are really made to be have a good time and play football.
no, the winner of the bowls dont advance or anything, but i believe a playoff should be installed.
it's kinda stupid though, because every year there are teams that either go undefeated or have a good case to get into the BCS Championship game and they end up getting a consaltion game like Cincy (12-0) going to the Sugar Bowl or Boise State (13-0) and TCU (12-0) and going to the Fiesta.
there should be a playoff imo. there's no way you shouldnt give an undefeated team a chance to be BCS Champions

2004 Ford Explorer Reviews
2004 Ford Explorer Reviews and Owner Comments
Login to Review This Car
I have a 2004 ford explorer and this sub has been trouble sense i bought it first it sarted loosen power and later on after dealing with that and getting that fix finally the rear hatch just one day part while someone was in it the windsheild and shatter and the hatch just busted out of it's position this is a very defective suv hate i bought it.
310000 and still going strong. Just basic maintence.....if something breaks, fix it!
Transmission had to be replaced at 13,500 under extended warranty and constant battles with 2 dealers and Ford, but finally admitted that tranny was faulty. Not so lucky next time....at 60,550 engine seized after timing chain broke and just after it passed 60,000 mile warranty. $7200 to replace engine. New engine runs better than original, but after reading other owners comments on V6, sounds like design problems. If buying a Ford, get an entended warranty!!
At 120,000 miles the car wouldn't start. I took to shop they tell me the entire engine needs replace. I have come to find 2004 Explorers are known for that. the engine is in short supply which will cost me over $4000.00 to repair. Shame on you Ford for not recalling these defective engines. My next car will be a Nissan!
Overall, I am most disappointed in the dealer. Ford themselves did not care that the vehicle has had problems from day one. And the dealer was more interested in blaming the problems on my driving habits. My pervious car had 428,000 original miles on it when I sold it. Bad driving habits? Doubtful! Pulls slightly to the right no matter the road surface from day one - dealer says I hit something, excessive front tire wear normal. Fresh air blend door frozen from day one - I never rode as passenger so I never felt the direct blast of cold air, was never able to keep the car really warm in winter - out of warranty when realized - tough luck. Heater blend door failed, stuck in cold position - happens to far too many explorers - no recall - tough luck. I complained of intermittent passenger window hesitations, they said nothing wrong, now none of the windows work - tough luck. A spot-weld on leading edge of the hood failed allowing corrosion under the paint, peeling spreading as corrosion spreads - it isn't a rust though so it's not covered. Next vehicle likely will not be a Ford - tough luck.
BIG TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS -- NO RECALL. SUSPENSION BAD -- HAVE TO REPLACE TIRES OFTEN. Great A/C!!! Comfortable interior!
I purchased my 2004 AWD V8 Eddie Bauer Explorer from a Ford dealership in Dec of 2006 with 35,240 miles on the odometer and while it has had minor issues, my real problems have not been with the Explorer, but with dealerships lying to me about TSB's. I've been to 4 different dealers with the same concerns and all 4 of them lied to me. I found my proof online for each concern and all were TSB's before I even bought the vehicle. One dealer even charged me a nearly $200.00 diagnostic fee(costing them any further business) after resetting my ABS light and telling me it needed a $370 throttle body(which is merely a piece of aluminum for engine air intake) because there is a TSB for that. There was no problem with the TB. I've had literally hundreds of these in my hands and I'm well aware of their function. If it isn't cracked, it isn't broken, although an attached sensor may be. It's still on the vehicle and still works as it did from the start, nearly 2yrs later. The engine runs like a good dream, having ample power and torque as well as being completely reliable. It has over 107,000 miles on it now and has never needed an engine repair of any sort.
5 stars on all the above
Tranny, differentials and A/C system are problems on this vehicle.

Netflix might be sued by Satanic Temple over ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’s' Baphomet statue
31 October 2018, 16:16
The co-founder of the Satantic Temple is seeking legal action over the depiction of Baphomet in the Netflix series.
It's been less than a week and Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has already gained a huge legion of fans. From its incredible cast to its dark and twisty Satanic aesthetic, everyone is obsessed with Sabrina Spellman and the entire magical town of Greendale.
But, funnily enough, the actual Satan worshippers out there aren't living for it at all. In fact, a Satanic temple is now planning to sue Netflix for copyright infringement - and it's all thanks to a statue of Baphomet that appears in the TV show.
In CAOS, you'll have probably noticed that huge, slightly creepy, statue of a goat that resides in the middle of The Academy of Unseen Arts. That is a statue of Baphomet, a deity that has now become the symbol of Satanism.
Following the release of the Netflix series, Lucien Greaves, the cofounder for The Satanic Temple, tweeted that they would "take legal action" against the streaming service, claiming the show’s use of the Baphomet statue is too similar to their own version. He also claimed that the depiction of the statue is being used to promote ‘satanic panic’.
In the tweet, Greaves wrote, “Yes, we are taking legal action regarding #TheChillingAdventuresofSabrina appropriating our copyrighted monument design to promote their asinine Satanic Panic fiction.”

For purposes of comparison... pic.twitter.com/AZJvmq1Cks— Lucien Greaves (@LucienGreaves) October 30, 2018
Greaves also confirmed that the group’s lawyer has sent a letter to Netflix. In a statement sent to Broadly, Malcolm Jarry, the temple’s cofounder, said the temple holds a copyright for the statue that was filed with the Library of Congress.
The statue seen in the show does looks pretty similar to the one created by The Satanic Temple and the most well-known drawing of Baphomet, which was created in 1856 by occultist Eliphas Levi. Despite Baphomet being a figure that's been depicted for more than a century, Jarry told Broadly that TST's depiction is "very distinct and has numerous prominent features that do not exist in any prior representation."
Before all the legal drama, CAOS' production designer Lisa Soper spoke about the the similarities between the show and the temple's statues with VICE, saying that it's “kind of a coincidence.”
"When you look at Baphomet, there's really only a couple of statues of him - which, they have their statue, and we've got our statue in the show," she said. "But it's no different from, in my opinion anyhow... from any other of the mass amounts of iterations of him that have been around."
Netflix has not yet responded to the claims.
