The Godfather is the ultimate morality tale
Coppola’s trilogy is criticised for romanticising the mafia but is really a story of family and love
It’s 45 years since the iconic film The Godfather was first screened and transformed mafia hoodlums into high art in the public imagination.
Last weekend, at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, the film’s director, Francis Ford Coppola, and members of the cast reminisced about the difficulties encountered at every turn in getting it made.
There were fights over casting with Paramount Pictures, threats from the actual mafia and despair by the actors. At one point during the filming Al Pacino, one of the stars, talked about it as “the worst film ever made”.
Yet he and the movie’s other leading actors are now widely considered to have been perfectly cast and to have turned in definitive, mesmerising performances; while the film itself and

Jogorku Kenesh Committee on Fuel and Energy Complex and Subsoil Use
On April 2, 2019, Jogorku Kenesh Committee on Fuel and Energy Complex and Subsoil Use approved the concept of the draft law “On Amendments to the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic “On Subsoil”.
The draft law is proposed to change the terms of the extension in terms of mining activity. The new edition of these renewed conditions provides for mandatory receipt of a license agreement for works (i.e., completion of design) and mining of at least half of the mineral reserves, which are provided by the license agreement for works.
At the same time, the renewal condition, which requires at least half of the reserves to be mined, will not apply to license agreements issued less than a year before the license expires.
It is also proposed to exclude the application of this condition to the users of groundwater since water is mainly used to ensure household and drinking needs of enterprises of various profiles (boarding houses, various industries, services) and supply to the population.
It is also proposed to exclude the use of this condition for developers of sand and gravel mixtures and loams, due to the fact that the granting of rights to use them is assigned to the jurisdiction of local state administrations through state registration.

PARIS, June 22 (UPI) -- U.S. company Raytheon and Norway's Nammo are working together to provide a second source for missile motors.
Raytheon, in a news release from the Paris Air Show, said the partnership is in the process of qualifying an alternate rocket engine for the AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile.
The motor will be interchangeable with the AMRAAM propulsion system and will maintain the same performance as the current device.
"A second source of rocket motors ensures Raytheon will meet its commitment to the U.S. and allied warfighter by providing an uninterrupted supply of the world's most capable beyond-visual range air-to-air missile," said Harry Schulte, vice president of Raytheon Missile Systems' Air Warfare Systems product line.
"Our partnership with Nammo leverages Raytheon's decades of experience partnering with European businesses to build and deliver reliable and capable systems."
The U.S. Air Force, the Norwegian Ministry of Defense, Innovation Norway, Raytheon and Nammo Raufoss AS share financing for non-recurring costs associated with the qualification program.
"Nammo has a rich history of producing rocket motors for air-to-air missiles and has delivered more than 40,000 rocket motors for the Sidewinder program alone," said Ola Skrivervik, Nammo's senior vice president of Business Development. "The AMRAAM qualification program is progressing rapidly and with great success."
The AMRAAM, used by 36 countries, is integrated on the F-16, F-15, F/A-18, F-22, Typhoon, Gripen, Tornado, Harrier, F-4 and the Joint Strike Fighter aircraft. It is also the baseline missile for the U.S. Army's Surface Launched-AMRAAM and the NATO-approved Norwegian Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System.

As the USL First Division regular season winds down, the 2006 playoff race is heating up considerably as every team scrambles to secure a spot in post-season play. At the completion of the regular season, the top six teams in the USL qualify for playoffs, and the Atlanta Silverbacks currently hold the 6th and final spot. The Silverbacks will have the chance to strengthen their position this Saturday night, August 19 against Miami FC at 7:30 pm at RE/MAX Greater Atlanta Stadium.
Miami FC, currently in 9th place, sits just three points behind Atlanta with 26 points. A win Saturday night will be critical for the Silverbacks and the strength of the team’s playoff position. Atlanta lost to Miami 1-0 on the road during injury time early in the season (May 14). The Silverbacks will need to contain two Brazilian soccer greats, “Romario” and “Zinho”, in order to defeat Miami. Both players competed for the Brazilian national team and helped the team win the 1994 World Cup. Romario, the second leading scorer in world soccer history, will bring his goal scoring campaign to Atlanta as he attempts to reach 1,000 career goals, a feat which only Pelé has achieved.
The first 500 fans through the gates at the “Colgate Palmolive Game Day” will receive the final pack of 2006 player cards allowing fans to collect the entire set. For ticket information call 1-866-GO-BACKS or visit www.atlantasilverbacks.com.

Drummond finished the season with eight assists, good enough to place him 8th in league standings for assist leaders. In addition to his assists, Drummond scored five goals for a combined total of 16 points. Drummond’s poise and control in the midfield played an important role for the U23’s.

Perhaps the proverbial paper does not have abundant value. Twenty years past, for a wonderful wedding, they could afford only the richest. Nowadays this situation has modified. It is a lot of easier to prepare massive weddings, even those that do not earn 5 thousand a month. In our country still (most often) for weddings and wedding arrangements ar borrowed in banks. There is, however, no rule regarding who ought to take a loan to rearrange a wedding and a marriage, and also to purchase wedding invites. They’ll have an interest in you, or you square measure young, or the oldsters of either party. Everything depends totally on relationships in the family. In spite of the fact, yet again teens want to be independent and freelance. Therefore, they are doing not need to burden their folks with a burden of several or several thousand credits. They prefer to require it on their shoulders and be able to say later that all of them owe it to themselves. As a result of parents area unit already owed abundant – already from the day of birth.

New sale for Baglietto
The Italian yard announces the signing of a contract for a ‘top secret’ 54m displacement superyacht…
After the sale of 46m Fast Lucky Me and delivery of the MV19 Ridoc, Baglietto has sold a new 54m all-aluminium, displacement yacht (hull #10231) to an American owner. Details of the design are being kept under wraps for the time being, but the yard has revealed that it is based on a new technical platform developed expressly for the owner with a beam of 10.40m, a draft of 2.60m, and a transatlantic range of 4,500nm at a cruising speed of 12 knots.
“I am very proud of this new build," says Michele Gavino, CEO at Baglietto. “It rewards the hard work the shipyard has been doing during the last year. We have made a great effort in the research and development of a new product range and this special yacht, based on a brand new platform, both in terms of engineering and styling, confirms we are following the right direction.”
The Baglietto range consists of four distinct lines: the Fast Line (38-46m aluminium planing hull); the T-Line (43-62m steel and aluminium); the V-Line (40-50m displacement or semi-displacement hull with plumb bow); and the diminutive MV Line (13-19m fast aluminium planing hull). Three other yachts are currently in build at the Baglietto shipyard in La Spezia as it prepares to start work on the new 54m project: a displacement 55m T-Line in steel and aluminum, a 43m Fast Line, and a 48m T-Line sistership of M/Y Andiamo, all designed by Francesco Paszkowski.

- Consultation and advice to adoptive parents and foster carers. To assist with managing difficult and challenging behaviour and promoting healthy emotional growth and development. The advice takes into account the child’s early history, their constitution and temperament and developmental milestones.
- Consultation and advice to the network involved in supporting fostered and adopted children and adolescents who have suffered early trauma, abuse and disrupted attachments, including teachers, social workers and health professionals.
- Therapeutic work with children and adolescents with disrupted attachments and children who have experienced abuse and neglect. This may include both short term and long term therapeutic work.
For a number of children and young people providing the right education and care is essential if they are going to be able to grow and develop rather than just being ‘warehoused’. These children are often both disturbed and disturbing to care for and having someone to make sense of their difficult and challenging behaviour reduces staff turnover and sickness and improves morale.
I provide consultation and advice to networks that surround children and young people who have complex difficulties, including schools, nurseries, social workers, educational psychologists and other therapists.
I specialise in consultations to residential children’s homes and fostering and adoption agencies.
Having a ‘supervisory space’ in which you can reflect on your own work is essential for professionals who work with children and young people, particularly when children and young people are very disturbed or disturbing to be with and their needs are very complex.
I have 25 years’ experience of providing clinical supervision to other professionals working with children, including psychologists, social workers, counsellors and child psychotherapists. Many clinicians find the depth of thinking and understanding which an analytically trained psychotherapist provides essential in making sense of the children and young people they work with.

When I was a child in the Knoxville City Schools, I was required to read Christy by Catherine Marshall. While not the only reason it was required (I can only imagine that the explicit Christian context didn’t hurt), a central reason was that the book described Appalachian community life in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. Catherine Marshall’s mother was a teacher in a small community in Virginia, and the town in the novel was based on a town in Tennessee, not far from where I grew up.
I will be honest that I don’t remember much about the book. However, one chapter has stayed with me over the years. One of the central characters is the preacher, David. Like Christy, David is an outsider in the community, but thoroughly committed to his people. In one chapter a member of the community needs to clear a field to be plowed. This becomes a work of the whole community. The men gather, and each takes a portion of the field to clear with scythes and axes. David steps up to do so, too. This comes as a surprise to the community. He’s not a farmer, used to the tools, or even to the hard physical work it entailed. And, then, too, he’s the preacher! He insists; and even though it takes him much longer to finish, he gets his part done.
What has long stayed with me about this is David’s determination to give of himself, at, really, great expense, for the good of one family, and to model serving the whole community.
But, then, the whole chapter was an example of a community coming together to serve one another. Once upon a time, that was a common example of American values. Perhaps from recent movies we attribute it especially to Amish communities; but it was once a more general idea. One of the major scenes in the musical, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, takes place at a barn raising. Communities gathered to help because there were things to accomplish that no one person could do.
There is, in American public life, that countervailing theme of the individual - commonly called in arts and letters “the rugged individual.” It’s been pitched at us especially since the Reagan Administration as the model of American freedom. But, American freedom, and American history, has also involved individuals sharing common purpose, working as communities to accomplish things no individual alone could do - like building a barn; or flattening the Coronavirus curve.

The Denver Nuggets controlled the first half of Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat, taking a 17-point lead at halftime. And as is so often the case with Denver — especially when things are going well — Nikola Jokić was integral.
Jokić didn’t shoot much in the first half, but made the most of the shots he did take. The star center was 3-for-3 from the field and 4-for-4 on free throws, finishing the half with 10 points. He was also the Nuggets’ primary distributor in the first half, dishing out 10 assists. That’s not something that’s been done a lot in recent years.
ESPN Stats & Info tweeted at halftime that Jokić became only the second player over the last 25 years to have 10 points and 10 assists in the first half of an NBA Finals game. As would likely be expected, the other player to do that is LeBron James. But Jokić did it much quicker, doing it in his first career NBA Finals game. By contrast, LeBron did so in his 42nd.
Nikola Jokic joins LeBron James as the only players in the last 25 years with 10 points & 10 assists in any half of an NBA Finals game.
James did it in his 42nd Finals game.
Jokic did it in his 1st. pic.twitter.com/VZKy7uFQps

What’s also notable is that LeBron’s 42nd NBA Finals game was Game 2 of the 2017 Finals against the Golden State Warriors. Despite LeBron’s heroics, lost that game decisively, 132-113 and trailed 67-64 at halftime. That’s a strong contrast to Denver’s 59-42 lead at halftime of Game 1 in 2023.

Last year, Gotti joined a elite list of films as it scored a dismal zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
You might think this would spell disaster for stars John Travolta and Kelly Preston, but you’d be wrong. Turns out, the real-life couple, who played John Gotti and Victoria Gotti, respectively, in the movie, are stronger than ever.
“John is working to compensate for dragging Kelly into the experience of making Gotti and the embarrassment that has come with its total failure,” a source exclusively told Closer Weekly. “He had the best intentions but they blew up in his face!”
The source added that John, 65, has stepped up as a model partner for Kelly, 56. How so? By “really listening” to her needs and proving that she is important to him. He’s doing that through chivalrous acts like surprise flowers and home-cooked meals.
“He feels personally responsible for the failure of this movie and he’s helping Kelly find the perfect next role,” the source continued. The insider also said John hopes she will “land another Jerry Maguire or a TV series like Stranger Things.”
Kevin Connolly‘s Gotti ended up being a box office flop, raking in just over $4 million worldwide. It also snagged a few Razzie nominations including Worst Picture and acting nods for both John and Kelly, who have been married since 1991.
John and Kelly have weathered many ups and downs together throughout the years. That sadly includes the tragic death of their son, Jett, a decade ago. Beyond that, they have remained solid for their surviving children, daughter Ella and son Benjamin.
In an exclusive chat, Kelly told Closer Weekly she “loved” starring alongside John in Gotti. One of her favorite moments was having the two-time Oscar nominee to run lines with over breakfast. That, Kelly said, was “so fun.”
“They’ve been a couple for 30 years now,” the source concluded, “and they’re not going to let one lousy movie ruin their good time!”

Donald Trump found liable for fraud in New York civil case
27 September 2023 | 3:51 pm
The former US president is being sued by the New York attorney general for deceiving banks and insurers by over-valuating assets. The judge's decision narrows the parameters of a trial next week.
April 19, 2023
April 30, 2023
We look at reactions from the US press over felony charges against Donald Trump, with a striking cover from Time magazine. Also, France announces it will prosecute three high-ranking Syrian officials over crimes against humanity. King Charles' gorgeous, colourful coronation invitations are unveiled one month ahead of the ceremony.
Donald Trump is a former US president, a candidate for re-election and now also a criminal defendant. The first former US president to face criminal charges is using the case against him to build support for another White House bid in 2024.
Just this week he appointed his new right hand in the battle against rodents, Kathleen Corradi. Corradi has worked in the city's public school system for years. But experts say that Corradi's new job to "fight the real enemy — New York City's relentless rat population" will be a tall order.
Two New York residents are facing charges of conspiring to act as agents of the Chinese government. US prosecutors also charged 34 Chinese security officials over an alleged campaign to monitor and harass dissidents.
The accuser in one of the many trials facing Donald Trump has spoken in court about her accusations of rape. Trump is being sued for defamation after calling his accuser a liar.
Kanye West's campaign treasurer Patrick Krason has resigned amid fraud allegations aimed at the rapper's campaign adviser.
A US jury ordered the former president to pay $5 million to writer E. Jean Carroll after finding him liable for sexual abuse and defamation. But the jury rejected sexual assault allegations.
Northeastern states in the US are experiencing historically high levels of air pollution due to wildfires in Canada. Experts say these types of situations will only increase in the future as the climate warms.
Former US president Donald Trump has been beset by legal woes over the years, but the charges he faces in Florida are the most serious yet. If convicted, he could face a prison sentence.
In 2022, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro held a meeting with foreign diplomats in which he claimed voting machines were susceptible to electoral fraud, which prosecutors argue constituted an abuse of office.

Dubai is hosting the UN COP28 summit on climate change, which aims to encourage countries to speed up their energy transitions. The fact that the event is taking place in an oil-rich emirate is the last straw for many activists, who are boycotting the event. Dubai, home to artificial islands and ski slopes in the desert, is nonetheless trying to boost its green credentials and is counting on startups to do so.

Continue on the blue blazed trail as it follows the river before arriving at Patowmack Canal ruins. In 50 yards, turn right over the footbridge then left following the green blazed River Trail. The trail will descend over a large footbridge before arriving at the main picnic area of Great Falls Park. Stay right and pass the two main scenic overlooks at Great Falls Park.
In 0.5 miles, turn right on the Swamp Trail. Follow the Swamp Trail for 0.4 miles where it ends at the next trail junction. Turn right climbing over the hill and in 0.3 miles the trail ends at the junction of the Ridge Trail.
Turn left, and in 60 yards, at the bottom of the depression, a small trail marked only by a single split rail post turns right downhill. Turn right on the trail as it heads down the ravine for the remaining 0.2 miles back to Georgetown Pike and the parking area.
Use Extreme Caution crossing Georgetown Pike back to the parking area.
Difficult Run Hike Comments
Date of Hike: Monday, January 21, 2019
The Difficult Run Trail (at least where it meets the parking lot for this hike) is closed for repair. I wasn't sure what or where the issue was so I just reversed the directions for the above hike, crossed Georgetown Pike and started on the unmarked, but easy to spot trail that starts right across the street from the parking lot (Google Maps has it labeled as Wolfpack Trail). I went left where Wolfpack Trail dumps out onto Ridge Trail, right onto Swamp Trail, and left onto Old Carriage Road which took me to the overlooks. This shortens the hike to about 3 miles round trip, but the overlooks are amazing and totally worth it. Saw a few people, but was alone most of the time, probably thanks to the weather (16 degrees when I started out at 10:30am!!)
While not blazed, the trails are easy to follow in most places. There are several parts where the trail is iced over so watch your step!

We started at 9am at the Georgetown Pike parking lot. There's actually 3 trails that meet there, take the farthest east trail entrance that has a small sign post (not the trail with the large cross county map and not the trail across Georgetown Pike. Get to the parking lot early it was almost full at 9am on Saturday when we started.
This hike took us about 5 hours but we stopped for lunch at the picnic area near the bathrooms and checked out most of the overlooks and small paths by the river. Everything is well signed but the blaze is now green instead of blue.
Definitely take the Swamp Trail since we saw maybe two people on that trail and it was quite beautiful. I'll try this hike again in Fall/Winter to see the views without the leaves- perhaps in the reverse.

Hiked this trail today (Friday) after work. Start about 6:30 or so, and was practically the only one one the trail, until I got to the main part of the park. I was expecting crowds after reading the previous reviews, but that just didn't materialize. The hike is beautiful, with tremendous water views along most of the hike. The River Trail is green blazed,not blue. And it is indeed hard to pick up after the steep descent. Just keep walking towards the park, and you will eventually cross the paved road and know that you are on track.
Once I got to the park, and passed the second overlook, I had a little bit of trouble finding Carriage Road. The bathrooms and parking lot referred to in the right up are not the bathrooms and parking lot by the Visitor's Center. Once I realized that, I was back on track.
All in all a great hike. Got back to my car at about 8. Would have taken more time but was walking fast so as to not run out of daylight.

News flash: there are millions of people who live in the DC area, and many of them (us), enjoy a nice hike, especially on the weekends. Giving this hike a low rating because it is in a heavily populated area seems unfair at best you knew where it was when you ventured out, no?
In fact, since I live in DC, the location of this hike is a 5-star aspect of it! (See, it's all about your perspective.) The vistas and water views are spectacular, especially when the Potomac is rushing as it has been. All this and only a few miles outside of the beltway? I'll take it.
I like this hike so much I did it twice in the last few days. Once with friends on Sunday - yep, it was crowded, but only around the main overlooks and visitor center. The rest of the time was what you'd expect for a beautiful 65-degree Sunday on any popular hike within an hour or two drive from DC, and we had our choice of spectacular and solitary lunch spots overlooking the Potomac. I did the hike again Tuesday, and didn't see a single person on the Swamp Trail, and saw fewer than a dozen people - and two giant horses - on the River Trail - on another cloudless 65-degree day.
Some tips: If you want to follow the route on the map linked to above, start your hike at the opposite end of the parking lot from the entrance to the lot. There is a sign/map right at the entrance to the parking lot that practically begs you to start out on the trail that leads directly from there, but this trail is not park of this hike. You know you're on the right path (literally) if the water is on your right as you start the hike.
I actually prefer to reverse this loop, doing the Swamp Trail first and then heading to the River Trail, because I like to torture myself with that big uphill part. To do it this way, start the hike by starting on the Swamp Trail by crossing the road where you turned into the parking lot.
Whichever way you do this hike, be VERY careful crossing the road (and also when entering/exiting the lot in your car), because where you do so is flanked by a sharp turn in one direction and a blind hill on the other. We witnessed a couple very close calls this weekend.
Last thing: My Garmin put this hike at 4.71 miles, with a couple little extra jaunts thrown in, so the 5.1 miles listed for this hike, while close enough, is slightly high, FWIW.

My son ,wife and I hiked this trail for fathers day. If you enjoy obnoxious drivers on the crowded roads of northern va and a 45 minute line leading into the park and crowds of sweaty smelly people this hike is for you. I did enjoy the views of the river, always wanted to see it. Other than the nice river views it was a nice easy walk in the woods, nothing spectacular. Now that I have seen it I will mark this one off my list as well as anything else in the vicinity of northern Va.

First time hiking Difficult Run. I've been to Great Falls on the VA and MD side before but never done this trail. Overall it was a very pleasant hike. I'd recommend it if you don't have a lot of time and really need to get out there for a quick one. The only negative would be the crowds around the main falls area, but other than that it is very nice.

Needed a quick afternoon hike. This is one of my favorite quick hikes. Trail was clear of snow and ice and in good repair.
Date of Hike: Saturday, January 17, 2015
The washed out part of the trail has been completely fixed and it is an easy passage from Old Georgetown Road/Difficult Run to the Ridge trail. The park service and VDOT did a fabulous job with the path.

Returned to this wonderful, close-in, loop hike with several novices early Sunday morning. Arrived at Rt 197 parking lot 9:30am and got one of a few spots left there were more hikers there than I expected for a Sunday, but was not terrible. We went further along Difficult Run leg and slightly north along Potomac River then my previous visits, granting us more great views! Within easily 10 minutes we were at the top of Ridge Trail providing another whole perspective of the river. There were climbers and kayakers to really impress the 11 yr old (new Scout) and plenty of outcroppings just off the trail for great views, snack and lunch spots little ones must be sure-footed for some or Mom may get nervous. We encountered people on every leg, even holding us up to allow them passage, but this is some of the best Great Falls as to offer, so this must be expected. The overlooks are certainly a major highlight and for first timers, not to be missed (well get crowded on beautiful days and after major storms).
Hiking upwards map was very helpful in providing plenty of detail for our older scout to not get lost,... at least when he consulted the map :-). The new NPS trail signs, together with the map, make this a full-proof, all-around wonderful afternoon from which you will return to car right on time!
Hike rates 5-stars, if not for amount of other people along single-track paths.

I took two nephews on this hike (ages 8 and 13) and we had a great time. We did not run in to many people on the Difficult Run stretch of this hike, but the River Trail portion was crowded. It was a great day out, a nice cool fall day. There were a few kayakers attracting some looks around the falls/picnic area. You can take any combination of the River, Ridge, Carriage trails to keep this area fresh and different every time you go. There were more people on the Swamp trail (heading opposite our group) than I have seen in the past, however I dont think many people use the 0.2 stretch from the Ridge Trail back thru the woods to the Difficult Run parking area. This is a nice short cut back if you start at Difficult Run so that you can explore more of the trails around the river. (side note, I previously asked a Park Ranger about the Swamp trail back to D.R. parking area and she did not know about this path-so great job Hiking Upward in giving awesome directions---the single split rail post is easy to miss but dead on for directions!)


Well, yesterday was certainly an unusual game. The Los Angeles Rams lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4, 40-55. What’s more important is what happened in the loss and how it catapults the Rams into Week 5 with just three days between the loss and Thursday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.
A bit of a double-edged sword here as the Rams both picked up some injuries to key players and they’re on the short week. That means we’ll get our first injury report today, and we should expect to see ILB Bryce Hager, S Taylor Rapp and CB Marcus Peters on it. Hager exited with a shoulder injury to give way to LB Troy Reeder while Rapp left with an ankle twist to be replaced by S Marqui Christian. And CB Troy Hill had to finish the game when CB Marcus Peters was knocked out on his pick six by OT Donovan Smith.
We’ll see if the Rams had any other issues flare up yesterday or if anything goes down in practice, but I’d expect today to be extremely light given the Rams were playing less than 24 hours ago.
Let’s start on offense. The offensive line had their worst game of the year. The early gameplan saw 14 passes from QB Jared Goff, a gut sweep to WR Cooper Kupp and two runs for RB Malcolm Brown before RB Todd Gurley got his first rush of the game once the Rams were already down 21-0. What was supposed to be an opportunity for the offense to break out of their early season, early game funk turned into the biggest nightmare start of 2019. And now the Rams turn to a Seahawks defense that has been very stingy against the run.
On defense, QB Jameis Winston torched the Rams’ defense without being pressured much all day. With the Rams’ front unable to get consistent pressure, Winston sat back and picked apart the Rams’ secondary with WR Chris Godwin sitting in space all day for 12 receptions for 172 yards and two touchdowns. The Rams did a fine job in run defense clamping down on RB Ronald Jones II, but the passing game undid the Rams’ defense on the day.
One thing we can clearly say was that yesterday was an absolute anomaly for 2019 in several ways. From the defensive breakdown to five carries for Gurley to 68 passing attempts for Goff, many of the outputs for this game were pushed to an extreme. That should help assuage some of the concerns Rams fans are having today.
For the first time in the Sean McVay era, the Los Angeles Rams are not in first place in the NFC West.
No need to panic, but this highlights how big Thursday’s Rams-Seahawks game is.
The NFC West is the only division in football with nine wins from its top three teams. The only division that has more overall is the NFC North with 10. Tonight’s Monday Night Football matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals won’t change that either.
Still too early to have any concrete takeaways (other than the Arizona Cardinals and Washington Frequent Game Losers being not good), but seeing the San Francisco 49ers atop these standings makes me quite uncomfortable.

Meet Planet Nine—the theorized ninth planet lurking at the edge of our solar system.
In July 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft gave us our first close look at Pluto, the most famous dwarf planet in the outskirts of our solar system. The New Horizons flyby was big news, and the pictures it continues to send back to Earth reveal a world far more complex than anyone realized.
Using nothing but their wits (and high-powered telescopes and a thorough understanding of orbital mechanics), these intrepid explorers are making new discoveries about how our solar system formed—and what it may be hiding.
Follow Mike Brown and his team at CalTech as they uncover dwarf worlds like the remarkably bright Eris; Haumea, an egg-shaped object rotating incredibly fast; and Sedna, whose orbit takes it deep into the far reaches of the Solar System. Is there a new planet beyond these distant objects? We’ll tag along on Mike Brown’s first night searching for the ninth planet at the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii. Join us on the hunt!
Planet Nine collaborators Mark SubbaRao, Patrick McPike, and Mike Brown are the 2017 Vizzie award winners for People’s Choice from the National Science Foundation!
Run Time: approximately 30 minutes

Of course they were coordinating. You think Hillary would go anywhere near an FBI interview where the outcome wasn't preordained in her favor? That's exactly what was discussed at that tarmac meeting. Bill Clinton got assurances from AG Lynch that his wife, Hillary Clinton, would be interviewed as a mere formality and no charges would result. No charges on the email, no charges for lying to the FBI during the interview like Michael Flynn.

Stop the presses – Harley-Davidson has built an electric motorcycle and it looks spectacular
The first things that come to mind when the name Harley-Davidson is mentioned might be deafening V-twin engines, tattoos, and long beards. Now the iconic motorcycle maker with the long history is demonstrating that it is willing to embrace the future; Harley has officially revealed its first-ever electric motorcycle, a prototype known as Project LiveWire.
The company released a video of the bike in action that recalls the history of Harley-Davidson leading up to the development of a beautiful all-electric motorcycle. The most prominent feature of the video is the sound the bike makes. Recalling something akin to the podracers from Star Wars Episode I, the bike screams across the ground with the same characteristic sound of the future that will come to be associated with the Formula E racing series.
After reviewing the bike, Wired found the sound of the motor and gears to be amplified as it reverberated through the chassis. The high-pitched whir is “louder than you’d think...it’ll definitely make you smile.”
What Harley has to say for itself
“You don’t know where the line is until you cross it.” So says the home page of the Project LiveWire website. Harley-Davidson appears to recognize that it must expand its customer base to remain on top, and an electric offering no doubt will attract a whole new crowd to the brand. The hope is that such a radical project won't alienate Harley purists.
“America at its best has always been about reinvention,” says Matt Levatich, Harley’s president and COO. “Like America, Harley-Davidson has reinvented itself many times in our history, with customers leading us every step of the way. Project LiveWire is another exciting, customer-led moment in our history.”
Judging by Levatich’s statement, Harley is banking on customers receiving Project LiveWire with open arms. The prototype bikes will embark on a 30-city tour beginning June 24th in New York City in a quest to win over the American biker community, and indeed add legions of electric mobility fanatics to its base. Harley-Davidson is prepared to adapt the electric motorcycle to customer feedback it receives, particularly from the nationwide tour.
Like all electric offerings, Project LiveWire is limited in range by the size of its battery. Harley claims a lithium-ion battery offering 53 miles of range and a recharge time of 3.5 hours at 220 volts. Based on the typical 3.3 kW onboard charger, Wired estimates a pack capacity of 10 kWh. The bike packs 74 horsepower and 52 foot-pounds of torque into the longitudinally-mounted three-phase AC induction motor. Top speed will be electronically limited to 92 mph, but the electric wondercycle is fast - 0 to 60 is pegged at under 4 seconds.
Wired reported from their test drive that the bike “leaps forward with authority” when the throttle is engaged. Their overall impression: the electric Harley is “actually pretty cool” and offers an “entertaining blend of power and comfort.” Personally, we love the looks as much as anything. The bike is simple, sleek, and elegant – it just looks fast.
Is it destined for production?
Based on the apparent stage of the development process, and the words out of Harley-Davidson’s collective mouth, it is very likely that Project LiveWire is destined to enter production. It is more a matter of when, and with what changes.
Assuming Project LiveWire does make it to consumers, other electric motorcycles like those made by Brammo and Zero will be the main competition. Harley won’t expect their electric offering to be a big seller, at least not at first. But the enthusiasm with which the company has tackled the project could point to more exciting things yet to come years down the road at Harley-Davidson.


Microsoft announced on Monday night that the March system update for the Xbox One had begun rolling out, bringing several new features and improvements to the console. The most notably inclusion is the ability to take screenshots, something Xbox fans have been requesting since the console launched in 2013.
But that’s not the only reason you’ll want to download the March update. Microsoft is also adding a list of suggested friends in the Friends section, which means it will be easier than ever to fill up your activity feed with updates from people you know and streamers you like.
Party chat has also received two news icons, letting users know if their party members are using the Kinect as a mic or mics plugged into their controllers.
The last system update gave Xbox One owners the ability to set their own backgrounds. This month, everyone will be able to vary the level of transparency for those background images, in case they’re a little too busy for your home screen.
Microsoft is giving gamers more control over their privacy as well by allowing them to turn off the setting that allows anonymous collection and analysis of voice search data.
Check out a video of the update in action below:

An earthquake in northern Italy has killed at least six people and caused thousands of others to flee into the streets.
The 6.0-magnitude quake struck in the middle of the night near the city of Bologna.
Two people were killed in Sant'Agostino when a ceramics factory collapsed. Another person was killed in Ponte Rodoni do Bondeno, emergency workers were quoted as saying by Italy's Ansa news agency.
About 50 people were injured -- but none seriously, reports say.
Aftershocks have been reported, with the earthquake felt in Bologna, Ferrara, Verona, and Mantua.
Rescue teams were combing the area amid reports that people may be buried under rubble.
In January, a 5.3-magnitude quake hit northern Italy but caused no injuries.
The last major tremor to hit the country killed nearly 300 people in the central town of L'Aquila in 2009.
