A consortium of Channel 4, BSkyB and Arena Leisure has paid £307 million for the worldwide media rights to cover races at 49 of Britain's 59 tracks.
The channel, which will broadcast 14 hours a day, starts in three weeks and its launch comes at a time when ITV Digital has been placed into administration because it cannot afford to see out its three-year deal with the Football League.
But Chris Stoddart, chief executive officer of attheraces, said: "There is a huge difference between attheraces and, say, ITV Digital. We have a longterm contract of 10 years for worldwide rights. We aim to appeal to a mass audience, broadcasting on platforms already established rather than trying to make one platform work.
"We are not covering second-tier football but the premier rights to Britain's 49 main tracks. A sport's entire significant offering, coupled with interactive betting, has never before been available. Racing has also been undervalued in the past."
The channel today unveiled its team of presenters and they include three new names to the racing media - Zoey Bird, Lee McKenzie and Rishi Persad.
Born in Trinidad where his parents bred and raced thoroughbreds, Persad, 28, abandoned a law career to pursue his love of racing. He boasts broadcast experience with Sky Sports and Ladbrokes.
Keen horsewoman Bird, 25, was a presenterreporter for Channel 5 News and anchored ITN's newschannel. McKenzie, 24, joins after presenting news and sport for Border TV, having written about racing and rugby from an early age.
Brad Higgins, director of programming for attheraces, aims to broaden the interest in the sport. "Racing is glamorous and exciting. We want to share our passion for it with a wider audience, while still fully catering for its core followers," he said.
Some scheduling will be geared towards the novice punter, alongside more in-depth analysis and familiar programming for the seasoned enthusiast.
A talkback programme, encouraging viewers to share their opinions, is key to plans. "We want viewers to feel the station is theirs," said Higgins.
Racing's reactionaries have already criticised attheraces for pursuing an "easy on the eye" recruitment policy, despite equal representation among men and women on the team.
"I find that view quite objectionable," said Stoddart. "Yes, our channel aims to appeal to women as well as men, but we haven't picked presenters on the basis of gender.
"They have been employed for their expertise and ability to explain the sport to a new audience."Reuse content

Bill Baroni, the deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey who resigned amid the “Bridgegate” scandal, has landed on his feet with a New Jersey law firm.
Hill Wallack LLP, with New Jersey offices in Princeton and Morristown as well as Yardley, Pennsylvania, announced Wednesday Baroni had joined the firm as counsel.
“We are delighted to have Bill join the Hill Wallack LLP team,” Managing Partner Bob Bacso said in the announcement. “Bill’s extensive experience in business and finance, and education and non-profit sectors will prove to be very beneficial to the firm’s clients.”
Baroni resigned from his post at the Port Authority in December, just three months after lane closures from Fort Lee to the George Washington Bridge created nightmare traffic for an alleged traffic study.
Baroni testified in November saying the closures were part of the study, but his statements have been contradicted by documents from the Port Authority as well as Governor Chris Christie’s office.
Hill Wallack LLP has 70 lawyers and represents businesses, nonprofit and government entities and individuals, according to its website.

REAch2 Academy Trust (the Trust), as the admission authority for all of its academies as per the admissions code 2021, is consulting on the admission arrangements for all of its schools. It is the responsibility of the Trust to determine the arrangements for all of its schools, ensuring that they are fully compliant with the admissions code 2021 and other statutory legislation, such as the Equalities Act 2010.
On 4 October 2023, the Trust Board approved several variations to the current arrangements, which seek to add clarity to a number of key definitions within the policy. The new policy also includes more information on how parents can access other admissions related information, including in-year admissions, appeals processes, and Fair Access Protocol’s.
The new policies do not propose any change to the school’s existing over-subscription criteria. The new policy seeks to make clear that children within the final category of the over-subscription criteria are ranked by the distance they live from the school. The Trust has therefore re-named this criterion from ‘other children’ to ‘distance’. Children within that criterion will still be ranked in the same way.
You can find the proposed school policy for 2025/2026 by visiting Academy Directory – REAch2 Academy Trust
The consultation will run from 6 December 2023 to 31 January 2024.
We welcome feedback from all stakeholders on the proposed arrangements. Responses to the consultation may be placed by any of the following means:
- By email [email protected]
- Complete the e-form at reach2.org/admissions
- By post Admissions Consultation, REAch2 Academy Trust, C/O Henhurst Ridge Primary Academy, Henhurst Ridge, Burton Upon Trent, DE13 9TQ

The world may run out of elephants. Poachers kill an estimated 40,000 of the big animals a year, even though trading in ivory has been essentially illegal for more than 20 years.
But 150 years ago, ivory was booming and nobody worried about elephants. The gorgeous material could be shaped into lots of things — and was. But for one entrepreneur, ivory’s specialness was a big problem.
That man was the father of American billiards — and the his ivory problem made him, in a sense, the grandfather of the modern world. Which is to say, of plastics.
It's tempting to call Michael Phelan the Steve Jobs of billiards.
"I think that would be an understatement," says Michael Shamos, author of "The New Illustrated Encyclopedia of Billiards."
"While Steve Jobs did amazingly brilliant things, he was not fully responsible for the computer," says Shamos, who is a computer-science professor at Carnegie-Mellon University. "But Phelan, in many ways, was responsible for the uptake of billiards in the United States."
And billiards, says Shamos, was the single most-popular amusement for men in the second half of the 19th century.
Phelan was the top player, a best-selling author, and the first big manufacturer of billiards tables.
To popularize the game, he helped standardize the gear — which, in the case of the balls, meant maintaining a very high standard.
"The billiard ball has to have certain physical properties," Shamos says. "It has to rebound properly. It has to be of uniform density."
In the 19th century, that meant it had to be made of ivory, which wasn’t cheap.
What's more, billiard balls required the top grade of ivory, much of which was wasted in the process.
"The average number of billiard balls that could be obtained from a single tusk," Shamos says, "is three."
Phelan and his partners saw the reliance on ivory as a threat to his industry's growth. It was as if the Apple Watch could be sold only in the $10,000 gold edition, because the gold was necessary to make the device function.
"They were really desperate, I don't think is too strong a word, to find some kind of substitute material," says Robert Friedel, a professor at the University of Maryland and the author of the book "Pioneer Plastic: The Making and Selling of Celluloid," which tells the story of what happened next.
Phelan advertised a prize of $10,000 — the equivalent of almost $3 million today, compared to the wages earned by laborers at the time — for the discovery of a satisfactory substitute for ivory in making billiard balls. The contest prompted a printer named John Wesley Hyatt to experiment with a newly discovered material, nitrated cellulose: cotton fiber treated with nitric and sulfuric acid.
"That material turned out to have very interesting properties," Friedel says. "In particular, it dissolves, and it creates a kind of syrupy liquid."
After more than five years of tinkering, Hyatt produced the first plastic, which he called celluloid — but it doesn’t win Phelan’s prize.
"Celluloid is a wonderful material," Friedel says. "It’s a beautiful plastic, and it has a wonderful range of uses. But. Billiard balls is not one of them."
Balls made with celluloid just don’t bounce right.
Hyatt looked for another market, and eventually found a hit, producing fake ivory for knick-knacks: knife handles, combs, hand mirrors, all kinds of things.
"Celluloid a terrific faux-ivory," Friedel says. "And it’s a great faux-tortoise-shell, and amber and coral — there are all sorts of great effects you can get from it.
Billiard balls kept getting made out of ivory. Which was OK — for the billiards industry anyway — because Europeans keep colonizing and exploiting more of Africa. It was not great for the people of Africa, as documented in books like Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" and Adam Hochschild's "King Leopold's Ghost."
It was also terrible for elephants. By 1910, the elephant population had dropped to the point where billiard-ball makers, among others, were getting acutely worried about the ivory supply.
Right around then, a chemist named Leo Baekeland came up with a new kind of plastic, made from petroleum, naming it bakelite, after himself.
Among bakelite's advantages: It could be liquefied during production, and fillers could be added.
"With that capability," Friedel says, "you can vary the density, you can vary the elasticity— and you can make a perfect billiard ball."
Celluloid got supplanted by newer plastics except for one key use, one product for which celluloid is said to perform better than any other material: ping-pong balls.
Celluloid balls got bumped from tournament play just last year. It was a controversial decision.
In an interview with NPR, Ernest Moniz says the deal has expanded the time it would take Iran to make a bomb significantly — from two months to a year.

It's college acceptance season — or perhaps, more accurately, rejection season — at the most elite schools. Harvard and Stanford turned away about 95 percent of applicants this year, a new record for Harvard.
There are lots of reasons top-ranked colleges are turning away more applicants. They're getting more, thanks to more aggressive recruiting. And because some kids are so unsure of what it will take to get accepted, they're applying everywhere.
All of this can be crazy-making and heartbreaking for a lot of kids and their parents. New York Times columnist Frank Bruni says it doesn't have to be. He's out with a new book: "Where You Go Is Not Who You'll Be."
The fixation on getting into top colleges is nothing new for hyper-talented and extra, extracurricular-engaged high school students. But with 95 percent rejection rates, the competition is all the more intense.
"It's fed by a whole industry of admissions consultants and coaches," Bruni says, adding the demand has deeper roots in parents' fears about the economy. "I think in their anxiety about the country's prosperity and its future, they want to give kids any leg up, anything that might be a leg up, and they see elite schools as one of those things."
One reason that the volume of applications have increased: ease. Most elite colleges and universities use the common app, an electronic form that allows students to apply to send the same information, scores and essays to an array of schools. Schools also market themselves aggressively to see as many applicants as possible.
"They want to get the best students and they want the most diverse student bodies, so that's the good impulse behind it," Bruni says. "But they also just want big, big numbers because we've entered an era here where a low acceptance rate – proof that you've turned away masses of people – is bragging rights among colleges."
For low-income students in particular, research shows that going to a selective school can make a big difference in graduation rates and future earnings.
"It's not fair to say that the brand doesn't buy opportunities," Bruni says of the most elite and selective colleges like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford. "But it's not a do-or-die, make-or-break advantage. It's not going to last your whole life."

Unless you’re an avid gardener or a professional, then composting may sound like a difficult, unnecessary and tedious task. However, while it may sound complicated, composting is actually significantly easier than you may think, not only helping your plants to grow, but also helping the planet by recycling goods. When starting anything new in the gardening world, it can seem confusing, so we have put together a beginners guide to composting to help you perfect your composting skills.
Our Comprehensive Beginners Guide To Composting
What better way to get rid of your used tea bags and coffee grounds than to pop them into the garden to completely transform your landscape. Around 25 per cent of waste in landfills is food and lawn; however, because the components are unable to react with oxygen due to the high density of a landfill, it means that it isn’t able to decompose. This makes composting at home or for your commercial landscape one of the most economically friendly options that not only benefits the planet, but our gardens as well!
If you’re new to the composting world, or you haven’t quite mastered the art of perfecting your compost, then hopefully this guide will lend you a helping hand. Continue reading for more in-depth advice on the following:
To start your journey to becoming an expert in all things garden related, it is first necessary to understand what compost is and what it consists of. In simple terms, compost is an organic element such as leaves or grass clippings that breaks down and decomposes to form compost. This is usually a dark and dirt-like soil that is extremely rich in nutrients, making it ideal for plants that need repairing, growing, or simply require some extra care. Having provided professional commercial landscaping in Milton Keynes for many years, we know the importance of maintaining your landscape and plants; it can have a significant impact on how vibrant they look and whether they make it to next summer through the rainy and cold winter months.
A mixture of general waste as well as natural matter such as leaves can make the best for of compost. For this reason, we would advise creating a compost bin where you can put general waste that naturally decomposes over time and layer it with organic matter form the garden. Here is a general guide to the different foods and elements that you can use for your compost and others you should not use:
|Compost||DO NOT Compost|
|Grass clippings||Diseased plants|
|Hay||Human or pet waste|
|Fruit & veg peels/scraps||Meat|
|Tea bags||Dairy products|
|Coffee grounds||Animal food products|
|Untreated wood||Cooked Food|
|Shredded paper||Peanut butter|
|Dryer lint||Paper with ink on it|
If you would like to help your compost to break down even faster, then composting may become a little harder to understand as there are certain types of compost that work best for nourishing your soil. The perfect compost bin will consist of around one part nitrogen-rich greens for every 20 part carbon-rich browns:
- Green Compost – food waste, vegetable peels, garden clippings/waste.
- Brown Compost – fresh leaves, coffee grounds/tea bags, fruit scraps, bark.
You will also want to make sure to keep your compost spaced out to ensure that oxygen is able to travel through the pile to allow for it to thoroughly decompose. To achieve this, all you will need to do is place a layer of brown compost in the bin, wet it and then place a layer of twigs over the top before adding your layer of green compost and continue repeating. For the ultimate and nutritious compost, we would advise adding some soil from your garden to the top of the compost pile, which will help to speed up the process.
Not only is composting your waste easy to do, but it also comes alongside an abundance of benefits. Other benefits not only include those that help your greenery to grow stronger and quicker, but it can also help with other aspects such as money-saving and helping the environment. Here are just a few of the many benefits that come with creating your own compost bin:
Recycling Household Waste
If you have a recycling bin and are strict when it comes to recycling your plastics, then you are already on the right tracts to composting. It doesn’t take much effort to ensure that your organic waste is popped into a separate bin, which not only reduces your waste, but can also help the environment by reducing landfill waste. You can find out more information about how landfill waste effects not only the planet but also your health, on Little Mountain Learning Academy.
Much like you would condition your hair, soil also needs a little TLC every now and then. Compost is full of rich nutrients that can help the soil, which will, therefore, help to nourish plants as the soil is able to retain moisture. Not only this, but by compositing, it also provides the soil with microscopic and beneficial microorganisms which can help further nourish the soil as well help to safeguard your plants and landscape from disease. Disease can significantly impact plants, as it not only affects its appearance but can also affect the roots. If the disease takes over the plants, then it may be necessary to completely remove the plant altogether. As specialists in landscaping in Bedford and the surrounding areas, we have the equipment and expertise to help you identify whether a tree or other plants are in danger of disease or have been infected. If this is the case, then the team are able to safely remove the infected plant/tree without damaging the surroundings. Please feel free to contact the team about our range of landscaping services, such as our grounds maintenance in Buckingham and the surrounding areas.
Protects The Environment
There are two main ways in which composting your landscape can help the environment. The first being the issue previously discussed around landfill waste, and the other being the reduced use of chemicals. Using chemicals on your landscape can have extremely detrimental impacts on our health as well as the environment, causing further pollution and entering our water as the rain washes the chemical fertiliser into rivers and lakes. The best, and easiest way to reduce this issue, is by using organic fertilisers such as those in your compost bin. This makes it ideal for both domestic and commercial property owners, and it can reduce your carbon footprint and increase your sustainability.
Not only can composting reduce the use of chemical fertilisers which are damaging to the environment, but it can also save you money by not having to purchase the fertilisers. Purchasing chemical fertilisers can be extremely expensive, especially if you own a large commercial property. Due to the cost of upkeep, many businesses neglect their landscape, which can have a dramatic impact on the appearance of the property. By keeping up with maintenance, you can ensure that your property looks modern, professional and presentable.
There are various different solutions when it comes to your compost bin, some of which are more on the higher end of the price bracket. One solution is to purchase a compost container, which has been specifically designed to speed up the decomposition process by allowing you to control the temperature and moisture inside the container. While it is one of the best options available, it may not suit everyone’s budget, making homemade compost bins one of the best solutions available. Why not try one of the following methods:
The Heap/Pile Method
This method is best for those that have an area dedicated to your compost, and is not close to the property or visible on-site, as it requires a ‘freestyle’ method whereby you start layering the compost on the ground in a heap. While this is completely free to do, making it an extremely cost-effective solution, not all sites prohibit you from having an open compost area on site. It is important to make sure that you check with your landlord as to whether you will be able to implement this option, as you could find yourself with warnings, or in worst-case scenarios fines. To minimise the risk of the compost attracting pests and animals, we would advise to either cover your compost pile with grass, or surround it with a wooden fence.
The Trenching Method
An alternative for a freestyle compost pile is to have a trench; this option is better in terms of not creating an eyesore or attracting animals. A trench is created by burying the organic matter into an 8-inch or deeper trench and allow nature to take its course. This method is most commonly used when someone is completely transforming their garden by ripping up the landscape, placing the compost on the ground in a trench and then planting trees, plants and shrubbery on top of the trench. By doing this, you can allow the landscape to grow back nourished and full of vibrancy.
DIY Garbage Bin
One of the easiest and most commonly used solutions is to transform a standard bin into a compost bin. However, this is more ideal for small properties, as the more area you have, the more compost you will generate and require. You can purchase a cheap plastic or rubber bin with a secure lid and use a drill to create five holes in the lid, sides and bottom of the bin. This will help with airflow, which is extremely important in the breakdown of the organic matter.
DIY Wire Bin
A wire bin is one of the most effective compost bins that you can create yourself, as it provides structure to the compost while maximising air flow. You can either purchase one online or make your own by placing three to four stakes into the ground in a rectangle shape. You will then need to purchase 10 feet of 36-inch wide wire or a plastic mesh and stretch it around the stake. If you are using wire, then you will need to wrap it around the stakes to form a rectangle, cut the end and secure it by twisting each ends together and continue until you formed a container.
When it comes to composting your waste, realistically all you will need is a bin and the organic wastes itself. However, depending on the size of your landscape and which compost bin option you choose, you may need some of the following tools:
- Gloves – you will need a good pair of tear-resistant and thick gloves, which will help to protect your hands when moving the compost into the bin or scattering it over your soil.
- Aerator – this will aid you to mix the heap around helping it to decompose quicker.
- Pitchfork – much like the aerator, a pitchfork can help with decomposing as it allows you to poke holes in the compost every now and then.
- Screens – as you would use a sieve for flour, a screen helps you to sift through the compost and anything that falls through is ready to be used.
- Shovels – a shovel can help you transfer the compost from the bin onto the area in need of the compost. It is best to use a flat headed shovel for this stage.
- Wheelbarrow – if you have a larger property, then a wheelbarrow will come in handy when transferring the compost to a location further away from the bin.
Seeing Results With Your Compost
A compost pile may take around a year to fully decompose, but the process can be pushed by following the steps listed above. Ensuring that you regularly water the compost and allow air to thoroughly flow through, will help you to speed up the process of decomposing. We would recommend using your pitchfork or aerator to poke holes and rotate the compost at least once a week to help with airflow as the more often you rotate it, the quicker it will decompose.
It is important to note that compost should not smell, as you are using organic material. If the compost does give off a foul smell, then you may be putting the wrong matter into the compost.

First, let me announce that Stacye Payne and Bill Lane of the National Park Service will be coming in from New Orleans and Atlanta, respectively, to meet with us about the Greenways plan on Tuesday. We'll meet at 9:30, after our regular meeting at 8:20. Anyone who'd like to attend is welcome.
Thanks to all who met this past Tuesday. In attendance: Jamie Johnson-Eddie, Mark Goadrich, Maurice Loridans, Feico Kempff, Ford Bevens, Robert Trudeau, and Loren Demerath.
The group continued it's work on submitting to the city a request for a committee to oversee the implementation of a bike-ped action plan, first by reviewing materials compiled by Jamie. Jamie distributed handouts printed from the League of American Bycyclists and Bicycling Info.org that showed ways of measuring and improving the degree to which bicycling and walking is encouraged in a community. A variety of cities--large to small--were rated. We discussed the materials and noted that in the course of reviewing them one can see there are questions we need to answer as a group, such as what we want the city to look like in 20 years, what we want our goals to be, is there a way to grow a network of bike routes. Maurice talked a bit about the debate over lanes, and the history of our bike trail in Shreveport, designed by Tim Wachtel, and how Tim has extended it in recent plans. We also discussed how the grassy area between Preston and bike trail is the goat head thorn zone where many a flat has occurred. Maurice said that Tim has said that if he can get funding he'll put in a path from Preston to the bike path. All agreed it was needed.
Returning to the discussion of the materials that can help with bike-ped action plans, we noted that sample action plans have good things to put in our request letter. One example is the League of Bicyclists' action plan.
Jamie encouraged everyone to look at the application to the League of Bicyclists' "Bicycle Friendly Community Program". To quote from the website: "The Bicycle Friendly Community Program provides incentives, hands-on assistance, and award recognition for communities that actively support bicycling." The audit asks questions that can help us sort out our personal feelings toward the goals we might have, and addresses everything from logistics and education to planning. The application can be found here.
The group also discussed why we would ever promote something like bike commuting in the first place, as ABetterShreverport.org. Loren pointed out the one premise of the group has been that it recommends things for the city based on research on what makes communities happy and healthy; that research is what helps us sort out our goals. For example, research shows that long commutes are not desirable, sedentary lifestyles are unhealthy, etc.
Jamie and Maurice mentioned how the safe routes to schools program can be used to help us, and that the League's campagn for Bike Friendly Communities can too. Ford and Feico mentioned how neighborhood schools such as Arthur Circle Elementary have already used it to have a bike/walk to school day. Jamie mentioned that Trek has 2 mile challenge it promotes, asking people to try biking two miles to work or school.
We then read Maurice's draft of an ordinance that would ensure the connectivity of residential subdevelopment (often a problem created by cul-de-saqs). He also mentioned how many of his favorite routes used to have public right-of-ways that were maintained, but were eventually abandoned by the city, and now are blocked by private owners' fences, so that one can no longer pass through. The group liked Maurice's ordinance, which is as follows:
"Where a subdivision developer seeks to permit a new subdivision development that is not connected to the neighboring subdivisions by secondary streets (cul de sac) there shall be included pathways, paved or unpaved, in each cardinal direction not connected by secondary streets or an arterial road, to allow pedestrian, wheelchair, and non motorized vehicular access to present or future residential or commercial developments in such direction."
Jamie noted that we've been focusing on us as cyclists, but we're not addressing lower income cyclists; do we want to develop cycling options for professionals, or improve safety education for others? The group discussed that and seemed to want to encourage both. Maurice talked about his personal efforts to educate people on saftey, often handing out pamphlets to other cyclists (who might have going the wrong way and heading right at the other cyclist) and he is always thanked for it. On the subtopic of proper bike behavior with regard to stop signs and such, Loren noted that road rules are made for motor vehicles, not cyclists, and all admitted to rolling through stop signs in residential neighborhoods when no bikes were present. All also agree though, that the ambassador rule is a good one: if motor vehicle drivers are present, behave yourself and obey the law.
The group then discussed the draft of the letter requesting that the Mayor appoint a committee to oversee the implementation of a bike-ped masterplan. Some suggestions were made, such as adding citations.
Mark Goadrich presented his research on bike route signage, and agreed to put together a proposal for signs that considers the constraints of reguations as well as the desires of the group. The group also discussed the benefits of route names vs. numbers, the former's meaning being clearer and the latter by code that only insiders would know. The group also discussed the need for bike racks around the city, and how there are newer better standards to follow; it would be unfortunate if the city decided to adopt the older, flawed standards.
The group then reviewed Ford Bevens' rough sketches of letterhead logos. Ford received complements from the group on the quality, and the group was enthusiastic about the potential for coming up with an appealing logo that communicated the general goals of the group. A logo that featured a downtown with pedestrians and cyclists would communicate the essence of smart growth and alternative transportation.
The group discussed how the bikeSB.org logo should perhaps be distinct, especially if we expect it to be maintained by people who have no connection to ABetterShreveport.org.
The group discussed breifly the coop center idea for food, building restoration, and bicycles. When it was mentioned that community ratings of bicycle friendliness are affected by such things as whether there are businesses that make showering available for employees, one person noted that a bike coop could have showers. Although it was noted that those showers would only serve businesses that are downtown, it was also noted that such a facility could attract more businesses to locate there.
Robert reported that the technology group was had a meeting and are working on a facebook presence and we are all encouraged to join twitter to use it as a link and promotional tool. John Christopher Martin wanted to start a database as a way to exchange goods and services, sort of like craigslist--which isn't used much in Shreveport, and was excited about helping ABS. He's a leader of the Peekers, and we're excited about him helping.
the rest of my notes:
need spiral ramp for texas st. bridge.
plenty of old pipe around to weld for bike racks.
color coding routes by difficulty/transportation uses as well as by routes
nonprofit: until you've got enough income to afford the accounting, better to piggy back; when we get to that step need board of directors and treasury... but if you don't have one we're less attractive to be sued; but we can be sued as partners in a venture. joining orgs like the league make it easier, but still a month of full time stuff to jump through hoops; the process is simple of having them insure you; regardless of insurance, you need the stuff that they'd ask for like certified instructors, accounts of incidents, etc. the league doesn't require followup paperwork. the association of american canoists destroyed our clinic cuz of the insurance...
jamie and maurice think we should never get into the event planning business ever.
event s are good for promoting bikeSB, and ABS could help organizations plan events... e.g., mountain bikers: LOCO that does LOOCOFEST if they wan to grow that... but they're masters of the technique of do it first and ask for forgiveness later. but were told by a ranger a couple of years ago to take them down.
Finally, we've just been asked if we'd consider writing a letter of support for a grant the city is applying for to the EPA to help fund the part of our Master Plan that would reduce carbon emissions. Seems like a no-brainer that we would. More on that on Tuesday.
Oh, and for those interested:
The next monthly meeting of the Red River Coalition of Community Gardeners (RRCCG) will be Monday, July 20th , 5:30 – 6:30 at the Caddo Extension Office located at 2408 E. 70th.
Phew! That's it folks!
Join us Tuesday morning at 8:20 for work on our proposal for an bike-ped action plan! Not to mention afterwards to meet with the Park Service folks, if you've a mind to!

“The Country of Free People: Equal Opportunities for All” is the motto of this year’s national LGBT-conference to be held on October 18-20 in the capital. This All-Ukrainian event will bring together more than fifty hundred male and female activists of the civil society movements pursuing human rights and freedoms for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people; experts on epidemic well-being; specialists involved in ensuring access to medical and social services for gay, bisexuals and trans* people; representatives of many partner organizations and international assistance projects to Ukraine.
“The purpose of this all-Ukrainian gathering is to determine the priorities of the LGBTI movement in the human rights and health sector, as well as to include the LGBTI issue on the political agenda”, said Andrey Chernyshev, the coordinator of the preparation of the national conference, a representative of Kyiv civil society organization “ALLIANCE.GLOBAL”.
The versatile program of the Conference-2018 will include in-depth discussions on the development of the LGBT-movement, the report on the latest national and regional achievements related to health and community access to health and social services, presentations with the results of the innovative revolutionary research. This year’s innovation is that a number of sections of the National Conference are open to all interested parties, however, upon preliminary registration.
A significant number of studies and reports at the Conference will address the health of LGBTI community, in particular, post-exposure prevention, or PrEP, the cutting-edge HIV prevention method for the most sexually active people, which has already gained wild popularity in Western Europe and is beginning to conquer Ukraine. The participants will learn about the main trends in the spread of HIV and choose strategies to foster a friendly attitude of doctors to LGBTIQ patients.
The systematic analysis of the human rights situation for LGBTI in Ukraine and information on Ukraine’s successful implementation of the recommendations of the United Nations Global Commission on HIV and the Law on the protection of human rights and freedoms for LGBT people will be presented to the community.
A lot of attention at this year’s Conference will be devoted to building trust and cooperation with political parties, because sooner or later open representatives of the LGBTI community will have to sit in the Parliament and the Government. Methods of addressing homophobia and transphobia will be discussed in detail. The topic of the rising Pride Movements will become a special highlight of the Conference, since this year, the Marches of Equality took place not only traditionally in Kyiv and Odesa, but also in the city of Kherson, the pearl of the South of Ukraine, and Kryvyi Rih, one of the major mining industry hubs.
The family topic will be profoundly explored debated in a brainstorming on the prospects of marital partnerships for LGBTI in Ukraine and in the therapeutic “momma-therapy” session, where parents of LGBTI children will share their stories. The voice of youth and adolescents will have a special prominence, whose representatives will talk about their motivation in activism, and “adult” LGBTI-organizations will include in their agenda a sensitive topic of work in the interests of LGBTI youth and teens.
Transgender people will speak in a narrow circle of stakeholders about the barriers to access to health services and the problems of the visibility of trans*-communities in Ukraine. A plan to host the European Lesbian Conference in the Ukrainian capital will be presented to homo- and bisexual women.
A constellation of foreign guests was invited to participate in the landmark 11th Ukrainian LGBTI Conference. Among them are the LGBTI-organization “Da se zna!”, which resists hate crimes in Serbia; one of the leading LGBT organizations in Central Asia, Kyrgyz Indigo; a representative of the international organization Women`s March Global, a well-known Canadian transgender activist Mrs. Michelle Emson, as well as activists and activists, specialists and specialists from Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Armenia.
The initiators and partners of the 11th National LGBTI Conference are the following organizations and projects: CO “100% Life”, National MSM Consortium founded this year by the NGO “Alliance.Global”, the League of LGBT “LIGA” Association and the “Gay Forum of Ukraine”, the Eurasian Coalition for Male Health (ECOM), KyivPride civil society organizations, Fulcrum-UA and Gay Alliance Ukraine, HPLGBT Transgender Self-Organization, National Democratic Institute for International Relations, USAID “HIV Reform in Action” international technical support project, Freedom House, Inc. in Ukraine, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the International Charitable Organization “East Europe and Central Asia Union of People Living with HIV”. Importantly, for the first time in the history of national conferences, this year’s event is supported by the state represented by the Center for Public Health of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
“An extremely wide range of organizations and projects that support the National LGBT Conference politically or in terms of resources, including government bodies, demonstrates the commitment of our country to the transformative pursuit of human rights for all citizens, regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation, that Ukraine is strongly determined to take comprehensive efforts to support epidemic well-being among bisexuals, transgender people and gay people, which, by the way, are hundreds of thousands of citizens of Ukraine”, Svyatoslav Sheremet (photo),National Coordinator of the MSM Consortium on Policy and Legislation.
National LGBTI Conferences are held in Ukraine regularly since 2008, complementing the Ukrainian pride events as the key catalyst for the national LGBT-movement, which was recognized by the President among one of the top ten political and social movements of our country in his annual appeal to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

Shades of Sapir-Whorf!
It appears that language usage, in the case of one language family versus another is fairly strongly influenced by cultural background.
The authors say their findings run contrary to the idea of Noam Chomsky's generative grammar, which says the brain has hard and fast ordering rules for language. They also contradict the "universal rules" of Joseph H. Greenberg, who said languages tended to choose certain patterns over others.Even if overstating the case, if it's half true, it not only undercuts Chomsky, it's another blow to the "massive modularity" idea of the brain.
"Culture trumps the innate structure of the human mind," said study coauthor Russell Gray, an evolutionary psychologist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. "We need to take much more seriously the role of cultural factors in changing language diversity."
Without looking at it in just that light, though, it does raise other issues of social and cultural evolution. Nature has more.
Beyond the easy references to how this undercuts (what doesn't, really) the "Pop" version of evolutionary psychology, this has more serious linguistic implications.
Greenberg, beyond being a "universalist" on linking phenomena of languages, was also a "clumper" in terms of how many, or how few, language families he postulated. This is especially true in his analysis of Native American and sub-Saharan African families.
But, if his "implication universals" idea isn't so true, then perhaps some languages he has clumped together should be bound more loosely. If we don't become "splitter" into many more language families, perhaps we should at least discuss the idea of subfamilies.

When these were new and so was I the Finnwolf 243 was the rifle I wanted but could not afford. Lo these many decades later, I have at last gotten my hands on one in 308 (SN 10XX). She's a beauty! But like myself, there's problems with function. The bolt wouldn't close on a cartridge. After trying several factory rounds, it became clear that the extractor and ejector were not free. I should have had better sense, but I removed the bolt to see if the extractor and ejector could be freed up. The hammer spring was rusty and broken right in two in the middle. A replacement spring was not too hard to create from spring stock. The insides of the bolt had some nasty looking brown semi-solid ??? on them. The mystery muck appears to be a combination of solidified grease and fine rust particles. Kroil and elbow grease got most of the parts freed up and I managed to clean everything except the ejector. The retaining roll pin did eventually come out, but a week in Kroil hasn't had any noticeable effect on the goo in the ejector recess. I got the ejector depressed into the blind hole where it is now firmly stuck on top of the presumably rusted and fully compressed spring. Any advice on how to get the ejector back out of that hole so it can be cleaned? If I can't get the ejector functioning, I suppose I'll just put her back together and enjoy dumping the extracted brass by gravity.

This is a good little film telling a big story - but it might have worked better as a mini-series.
Directed by Daniel Lusko
Persecuted is not so much a religious message film as it is a political thriller with religious overtones. Although there will be those that will prematurely attack the film as being full of right-wing conservative Christian paranoia, the underlying message of standing up for what you know and believe to be right, despite all odds, is in fact universal and far-reaching.
Senator Donald Harrison, played by Bruce Davison (X-MEN, "Lost", "Castle"), is pushing legislation that would enact sweeping reform calling for religious leaders to provide 'equal time' for the beliefs of other faiths, effectively watering down the core pillars of their own. The stumbling block to his legislation is his friend, popular, influential televangelist John Luther, played by James Remar ( X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, "Dexter", DJANGO: UNCHAINED, WHAT LIES BENEATH, RED), who refuses to compromise his beliefs by endorsing the senator's campaign. Taking advantage of elements in Luther's admittedly sordid past, Senator Harrison unleashes a plan to set-up the popular preacher to make it look like he went back to his old ways. Harrison's thugs drug Luther and make it appear as if he murdered a young lady, also set-up by the political bad-guys. Luther escapes the scene but is a wanted man on the run. In a series of episodes reminiscent of The Fugitive, Luther eventually has a confrontation with his pursuers, the results of which I will not spoil for the potential viewer.
Persecuted is a well-paced action film with good production values and fine performances from most of the cast, although James R. Higgins, playing the non-specific president, comes off looking and sounding like a not very well-preserved Bill Clinton – either a distracting choice of direction or an unintentional impression on the actor's part – either way, it weakens the film and begs for criticism from those who will see it as an outright slam. James Remar as John Luther (if you're thinking the name'Luther' might be a bit too on-the-nose, I agree) plays the role with intensity and the right balance between confusion, fear, and faith. Bruce Davison is an appropriately smarmy politician but keeps it just under the surface, so as not to be an outright 'evil' villain. CCM notable Natalie Grant is very impressive in her small role as Luther's wife – understated and believable. I would like to have seen her role explored further than it was. Comedian Brad Stein, as Pastor Ryan Morris, also turns in an excellent performance playing a charismatic but ultimately shifty assistant and number two man to the televangelist – despite his textured performance I felt that the character's relationship to Luther is a weakness in the script. One wonders how Luther could work for years with such an obviously questionable right-hand man. Fred Thompson brings his usual gravitas in the role of Luther's father, a Catholic priest – a storyline that could have been explored for some interesting background since Luther was obviously a more non-denominational evangelical type.
Other cast members performed admirably in smaller roles, most notably Dean Stockwell (AIR FORCE ONE, THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, STAR TREK), Raoul Trujillo ( APOCOLYPTO, COWBOYS AND ALIENS, THE NEW WORLD) and Fox News' Gretchen Carlson as a TV news anchor that looks remarkably like – well, Gretchen Carlson.
Despite the many good elements, the film sometimes feels more like an above-average dramatic mini series than a piece of dramatic cinema. The tense, pulsing score seems constant from the beginning instead of adding dynamic punctuation at key moments. The acting is good and might have benefited from having more scenes with less music or even none at all. I must admit that there were occasional bits of dialog that I couldn't understand and that certain elements leading up to the film's resolution could have been more clearly delineated. Over all, we have a good thriller here with excellent cinematography, crisp editing, good acting, and some minor flaws.
The basic themes of Persecuted are not implausible. Certainly, the idea of a framed TV evangelist on the run could be stretched out to a limited series with a fantastic pay-off. As it stands, Persecuted is a good little movie telling a big story. I would like to have seen it deal more with Luther's home-life and family relationships, which are only hinted at – maybe less thriller, more psychological drama. Either way, Persecuted is an interesting film asking a powerful question: how far will you go to defend your right to believe what you believe?

Pours a cloudy golden with a thin white head. Decent retention, and a nice lace. Aroma is of bready malts, with some fruity notes. Body is medium with some carbonation. Taste is lightly hoped, with a malty presence throughout. Hints of fruity, grassy hops in the finish. Really nice version of the American IPA.

Texas manufacturers lay out priorities for 2013 legislative session
- Molly Ryan, Houston Business Journal
The Texas Association of Manufacturers unabashedly declared 2013 to be the “Year of the Manufacturer in Texas” during a Wednesday celebration of Texas’ Manufacturers’ Day.
The statewide manufacturing organization also outlined its priorities for Texas’ legislative session, which are designed to ensure that manufacturers can live up to the hype of “The Year of the Manufacturer.”
Included in TAM’s priorities are: defending manufacturers against “excessive” taxation for capital-intensive business; creating more efficiencies in the permitting process; ensuring Texas has affordable electricity prices; ensuring the state upkeeps its critical infrastructure, particularly water sources; improving Texas’ education system to create more skilled workers; and developing incentives to attract research and development activity in Texas.
TAM’s priorities align similarly with those of the Texas House of Representatives’ Interim Committee on Manufacturing. The committee released a report in January recommending that the Legislature simplify complex regulations and permitting, create new education processes to train skilled manufacturing workers and introduce a tax credit for R&D.
Speaking of R&D tax credits, Texans for Innovation, a coalition of business leaders interested in establishing a state R&D tax credit, released a report Wednesday stating that the economy would benefit if the state modifies its R&D tax policy.
The report found that Texas loses at least $1.3 billion in R&D activity each year from not having an R&D incentive.
However, if Texas passes R&D tax credits, such as extending existing manufacturing sales tax exemptions for R&D materials and equipment and reinstating an R&D franchise tax credit, the state could create more jobs and economic impact. The study found that the state would create $13 billion more in economic activity each year with the tax credits and add 97,600 new permanent jobs.
"Texas should be doing all it can to encourage growth in the manufacturing sector," Jim Murphy, chairman of the Houston Interim Manufacturing Committee, said in a statement. "Broad-based, low-rate taxes and smart incentives that encourage research and development are central to this growth equation."

Developing Your own Writing Pattern
Sometimes, you can find piece of writing in a very magazine or simply a book, and even, without investigating the author’s name already know just who authored it. Who all else yet J. Deb. Salinger could possibly write this sort of agonizingly existential yet scorchingly judgmental thoughts? There’s a why Gabriel Garcia Marquez is certainly credited along with inventing mysterious realism. Who have but At the Gilbert allows you to be feel like you aren’t reading your best friend’s record? Would any person ever error in judgment Normal Mailer’s work for Toni Morrison’s?
You’re able to pick these types of voices out from a crowd since they’re from copy writers who have a definite writing design and style.
But why does that topic? Why do I need a composing style?
Your writing model is your brand. Whether you are some sort of blogger, a new content article writer, an tutorial or a author, developing a style is an important within your authoring life. It does not only helps you grow your model, homework help with physics it also assists you write more and better. If the writing speech is already well-honed, it’s less complicated for you to start into a brand-new piece. You start to lose of which fear of ‘how do I start off? ‘ Your personal writing tone of voice, once it can developed, is your guide.
Therefore how exactly do you really develop a crafting style? Follow this advice:
Read many other people’s job
Read many of the genre you wish to write. Collect a collection of the best writers because area and read their whole work. May read for info or entertainment. Dissect their particular work to ascertain their model. A tumblr who constantly includes interesting personal encounters that link to this theme vs . a tumblr that does quote many stats as well as news experiences. A horror fiction writer who is going right for the actual gore and a pavor fiction creator who sets up a crazy psychological surroundings. An academics writer who may have a covert tone compared to an instructional writer who’s more safe and effective and academic in overall tone.
Keep dissecting and notice more about the strengthen. Does just one writer are generally humorous whilst another will plummet straight into political apathy? What are keywords and phrases they often tend to you? Are their valuable sentences long and detailed or limited and beneficial?
Now look over your own give good results
If you’ve by now written a few pieces, whether blog posts, documents or even novels, go through wide variety your own writing with the same exact discerning attention. Pick out things notice about your own model: key phrases, coloration, sentence structure as well as length. Does one get to the idea right away or do you take your time building a case? Do not you tend to prepare long illustrative passages and/or you devoted to action as well as moving the story forward? What are things you want to change? Which are the things you desire to develop far more?
Write what you know
Goods on the market most inexperienced authors do anyway. Your settings are often your own inspiration. Quite possibly fantasy in addition to science story, short story, tale fantasy sometimes currently have characters in addition to settings culled from the author’s real life. Producing what you recognize already normally takes some of the pressure off of the need to imagine one story. Generate an autobiographical piece for your family. So what can you have to tell you about where you came from, the way you grew up? Let loose and don’t be patient. Don’t think regarding how someone would come to feel if you composed that concerning them. State exactly what you think that.
Having the daring to tell the truth is perhaps half the actual battle for you to developing your style. Have you ever read through any of David Sedaris’ give good results? It teems with jaw-dropping anecdotes in relation to his spouse and children. Totally virtually no holds prohibited. Sometimes When i cover the mouth inside delight after which wonder, ‘How could the person write which about his / her mother? Simply no, how could he publish that about her mother? ‘ That is his or her style: caustic humor along with brutal honesty. Starting with authoring something acquainted is a good solution to develop your own personal writing design.
If you’re crafting content, precisely the same holds true. No longer try to generate content about technological gadgets when your background walls is in Italian Renaissance Street art. Write everything you know. Any writer can certainly write just as eloquently around technology as another writer contributes articles about fine art. The trick is required to be familiar with your subject.
Hold the guts to always be yourself
Writing takes a massive amount courage. You may be exposing your ideas, opinions, worries, emotions plus, sometimes, your personal soul to your group of strangers. Who could possibly behave incredibly cruelly on their criticism. In order to survive like a writer, you ought to be able to get prior your fear with judgement along with failure and seeing the guts to convey yourself. To operate an effective way. Not necessarily in a way that you believe someone would for example. In the way in which you like.
Like any different endeavor, specific becoming a legend athlete, a new class opera singer or possibly a celebrated electrician, you must have valor. What if Jackson Pollack believed, ‘Oh certainly no, I can’t establish this drop paint pattern. Nobody should it. No-one will fully understand it. I’d personally better basically paint a number of landscapes. ‘ Don’t be worried to develop your personal voice. Oahu is the unique gift that only you’re able to give.
Doing freewriting exercises may help uncover your own writing model. In freewriting you’re experiencing your brain’s subconscious and letting over anything that happens. Without will filter or stressing about punctuation or sentence structure or in cases where something perhaps even makes sense, occur to be spilling available a uncooked form of your own writing fashion. Do a lot of freewrite exercises over the course of four weeks and see if you can possibly determine a common thread in the individual that you want to choose and create.
Find out who you are
Well, it may sound like the tall buy, but when that you simply developing a model, it really comes down to defining your company’s vision worldwide. Are you a good optimist or even a pessimist? Are you gonna be a hedonist or a pragmatist? Are you any poet or perhaps a detective novelist? Writers quite often write for the reason that feel they also have something they want to share. The history that you essentially want to promote?

We’ve Got Issues: VanderWall shakes up two political races
State Rep. Curt VanderWall (R-Ludington) made a tough choice last month. He decided not to run for re-election in the Michigan House of Representatives. Instead, he’s running for the state Senate.
It’s a decision that has disrupted two competitive political races in northern Michigan.
VanderWall, who owns a lawn care business, is in his first term in office representing the 101st District. The House district runs along Lake Michigan from Ludington to Northport.
VanderWall says last summer he began thinking about running for the larger Senate district instead of for re-election. He says people throughout the House district encouraged him to do it.
VanderWall says he’s the right person for the job.
“We’re going to have some really, really tough issues over the next nine years,” VanderWall says. “And I just felt that we needed somebody there that listens very well and works for the district.”
VanderWall says timing played a role in his decision to run for the Senate’s 35th District.
The seat is open this year because current Sen. Darwin Booher (R-Evart) is term limited and cannot run again. If VanderWall stayed in the House for four more years and then wanted to run for the Senate, he might have to wait another four years for the seat to be open again.
VanderWall says it was a difficult decision but he thinks he made the right one.
“We feel very comfortable that the decisions that we made will benefit not only the 101st but also the Senate district,” VanderWall says.
The 35th District is a sprawling seat that includes 12 counties. It goes from Ludington to Northport and heads east to include Cadillac, Kalkaska and Grayling.
The district has been a safe Republican seat in recent elections but winning the Republican primary will be difficult. The race has already been going on for months between two former state representatives, Ray Franz and Bruce Rendon.
“It’s really fascinating," says longtime political commentator Bill Ballenger. "You got three either current or former state reps running against each other in a primary. I’m not sure I ever remember that happening before.”
Ballenger runs a political commentary website.
Ray Franz (R-Onekama) is VanderWall’s predecessor in the 101st District. He served three terms.
Bruce Rendon (R-Lake City) is from Missaukee County and represented the 103rd District for three terms until 2016. His wife, Daire Rendon, now holds that seat.
Ballenger says the primary could come down to who does well in the middle of the district, especially around Cadillac in Wexford County.
“I would say that’s going to be a key battleground, because that is a county between where the candidates served,” he says.
Ballenger says other factors will matter as well – like who can raise the most money.
VanderWall has said that his age makes him a stronger candidate than the other two. He’s younger than both Franz and Rendon and says he has better stamina.
While VanderWall is in his mid-50s, Rendon is in his mid-60s, and Franz just turned 70 years old.
Franz and Rendon both say they’re healthy and energetic.
“If I could paraphrase Ronald Reagan, of course, I won’t hold his youth and inexperience against him, after all he has been in office only 13 months,” Franz says.
Franz says he's been campaigning for months.
"I have been working this district since February of last year, so I don’t think age or stamina are an issue," Franz says.
Franz owned two grocery stores in Manistee County. He’s retired from the business now.
Franz says he wants to keep Michigan on what he calls a path of prosperity. He says he’s proud of the work he did as a state representative, paying down the state’s debt and controlling spending.
“I want to continue making Michigan the place to do business, making Michigan the place for manufacturing and tourism and agriculture,” Franz says.
Like VanderWall and Franz, Bruce Rendon is also a business owner. Rendon ran a construction company for years, which he still owns. He also ran a dairy farming operation.
“That’s what’s led me into the legislature, is seeing what regulation does to hamper creating jobs and our workforce,” Rendon says.
Rendon says he thinks the state is going in the right direction. He says voters should choose him because of his experience and values.
“I will not break from my basic issues," Rendon says. "I’m pro-life, pro-Second Amendment and pro-family. I’m a listener.”
Two Democrats are running for the Senate seat, including Cary Urka. Urka ran as a Republican for the 101st District state House seat in 2016.
Without VanderWall running for the 101st, there’s uncertainty in the race. It’s been a close contest in some recent elections. Dan Scripps was the last Democrat to win the seat in 2008.
Only one candidate has declared she’s running so far – Democrat Kathy Wiejaczka. She is a registered nurse from Empire.
Ballenger says Republicans at this point don’t have a candidate, and that could be bad news for them.
“People are talking, 'this might be a blue wave year. There could be a backlash against Trump or the Republicans,'” Ballenger says. “Well, if that’s the case and you’ve got a weak Republican nominee, … Democrats could pick up the seat.”
Candidates have to enter the race by April 24 to get on the primary ballot. The primary election is in August.

LAUSD Applies Without Union Support

LAUSD has just announced that it was sending in its $40 million Race to the Top Application today, despite the fact that UTLA refused to sign off on it.
“Although UTLA refused to be a partner in this critically important grant,” said Deasy in a press release, “I will advocate for it on behalf of the administrators, students, and faculty of this District. To that end, I have instructed staff to submit an application with all required signatures except that of the teacher’s union.”
You can read the full press release here. You can read Deasy’s letter to Education Secretary Arne Duncan here via KPCC. The Obama administration established the district-focused version of Race to the Top in order to give access to districts in states like California that had not applied for or won Race to the Top funding.
Update: According to Barbara Jones of the Daily News, the U.S. Department of Education considers the application incomplete without UTLA’s endorsement.
