The DeSantis administration is pushing back big against an Associated Press report about investments by a major donor in a COVID-19 therapy that the governor is promoting heavily in appearances across the state.
Gov. Ron DeSantis himself, during a Wednesday news conference in Pembroke Pines, suggested a nefarious motive behind the report.
“It's important to point out because there's so much nonsense that gets put out there — there's a lot of misinformation put out, unfortunately, by a lot of corporate press: This treatment for patients is free. You come in and you get it," the governor said.
“Don't let anyone tell you that you're going to be charged thousands of dollars. That is a lie. That is a lie that is being disseminated for political purposes to try to dissuade people from seeking life-saving treatment. And, honestly, that's reprehensible."
Earlier, DeSantis spokeswoman Christina Pushaw mounted a vivid Twitter attack against “media-enabled Regeneron disinformation" that she said fueled rumors that people had to pay for the treatments.
The Phoenix could find no published reports documenting any such dissuasion. The governor's press office has not yet responded to a request for evidence.
The AP did report: “A Regeneron treatment costs more than $1,000, while a vaccine costs about $25."
It also reported: “The federal government is paying for the monoclonal antibody treatments and patients aren't being charged for the antibody cocktail."
Meawhile, Florida's Delta surge threatens to overwhelm hospitals and local school boards are rebelling against the governor's dictate that they cannot require students to wear masks while indoors if their parents or guardians object.
The AP report, published Wednesday, noted that the Citadel hedge fund has invested $15.9 million in Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc., citing U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission records. Ken Griffin, Citadel's CEO, has donated $10.75 million to the Friends of Ron DeSantis PAC during the past two years, the news organization reported.
Regeneron makes a monoclonal antibody treatment that has proven successful against COVID-19 if administered soon following an infection.
DeSantis, who opposes forced vaccination or mask-wearing in the fight against the virulent Delta strain of COVID, said Wednesday that a distribution network for the therapy would soon offer 300 doses per day at as many as 20 sites in the state. Doses are targeted at patients at high risk because of advanced age or underlying health conditions. He said Regeneron's product is most efficacious against Delta.
The AP story quoted Pushaw refuting social media buzz among Democrats suggesting something was untoward about the DeSantis-Griffin relationship:
“Claiming that there is somehow 'corruption' by promoting the baseless political narrative that Governor DeSantis supports Regeneron over COVID vaccines (completely false, but that is another topic) is not even logically consistent when you examine the SEC filing," Pushaw said in an email. “Citadel holds far more shares of Pfizer and Moderna than Regeneron."
DeSantis brought the matter up himself during his press conference:
“There's always people trying to put political agendas, partisan narratives, regardless of facts, trying to gaslight people, trying to pursue their own interests, even if it's not going to be helpful for people — even if it may dissuade someone from seeking a life-saving treatment," he said.
“This is no place for those phony narratives, for political posturing, or for partisanship."

Okay, the deed is done: online has finally beaten print. The advertising dollars have been counted, and it looks like bits and bytes are prevailing in 2010, though the margin is slim. According to research from eMarketer, writes Peter Kafka of AllThingsD, web advertising spend is poised to hit $25.8 billion in 2010, while newspaper ad spend will reach $25.7 billion. Interestingly, $3 billion of the 2010 newspaper take is actually online.
This is a day we’ve all seen coming for quite a while. Ever since the late 1990s, we’ve been hearing endless chatter about the “death of print,” but it’s really been a decade-and-a-half long process, littered with Monty Python-esque references to not being dead yet.
Online advertising is up 13.9 percent year over year, according to eMarketer‘s data, and it’s set to show annual double-digit growth through 2014, when the market is expected to reach a value of $40.5 billion. Projections for the newspaper industry, which are presented through the end of next year, aren’t as favorable. After hitting a total of $49.4 billion in 2005 – $47.4 billion for newspaper print ads and $2 billion for newspaper online ads – the total is forecast to fall from this year’s $25.7 billion to $24.6 billion, with only $21.4 billion coming from print ads in the newspapers.
Interestingly, newspaper online ad sales are poised to continue their ascent, though in much smaller dollars than the internet advertising market (ex-newspapers). Next year, newspaper online advertising is expected to reach $3.2 billion, up from $3 billion this year. This will bring it back to its 2007 (pre-financial crisis) peak. Meanwhile, online ad spending is set to hit $28.5 billion next year, 15.9 percent higher than the total newspaper advertising market.
Of course, the online advertising market is getting more than a little help from Google.
Kafka reports that 40 percent of the eMarketer forecast is based on Google‘s projected net U.S. revenue. Already, with $28.8 billion in revenue, Kafka observes, Google is thrashing the newspaper advertising business. In fact, it’s also ahead of the entire online advertising business and beats the 2011 forecast, too.
Doubtless, newspaper complacency is part of the problem. The death of classified ads at the hands of craigslist, for example, has cost community newspapers what used to be the source of half their revenue. Job and real estate sites have led to the decimation of other newspaper advertising sections.
It took a while for us to get to this point, especially given the dire print predictions I remember from back in 1999 and 2000, but by the time 2005 rolled around, the groundwork had been established and the rest was just waiting to be history. And now, here we are. Newspapers are now working with roughly half the advertising revenue they received only five years ago, and growth on the online side isn’t likely to compensate for print declines anytime soon.
Is the print apocalypse at hand? Well, it’s too early to tell of course. Maybe, in the words of another Monty Python character, the newspapers are “just resting.”

With some of the comments I've read tonight, you'd think the Red Sox had just won the World Series while the Yankees were swept out of the LDS.
Don't panic! The Red Sox basically exchanged Jason Bay for Mike Cameron. Is Cameron, a 37-year-old former steroid user, really an upgrade?
Adding John Lackey makes them a better team, no question, but did y'all expect them to do nothing this off-season? What it probably means is that they're going to let Josh Beckett walk after 2010. They also lost Billy Wagner. Say what you will about him, but he's dominant when healthy (one season with an ERA over 3.00, 12 K/9 ip).
The Yankees are the defending champs. The Red Sox are the chasers, the Yankees are the chasees.
I would've been a lot more concerned if Boston acquired Roy Halladay.
You never know what will happen. The Yanks didn't have Mark Teixeira until late December of last year. Johnny Damon, Matt Holliday, Jason Bay and Vlad Guerrero are still out there. So are Ben Sheets, Justin Duchscherer and Erik Bedard. If those guys are healthy, they'll be as good as Lackey at a fraction of the price.

Carter Beats the Devilby Glen David Gold
Synopses & Reviews
An amazing, richly evocative novel of magic and history in the tradition of E. L. Doctorow and Caleb Carr.
America in the 1920s was a nation obsessed with magic. Not just the kind performed in theaters and on stages across the country, but the magic of technology, science, and prosperity. Enter Charles Carter — a.k.a. Carter the Great — a young master performer whose skill as an illusionist exceeds even that of the great Houdini. Fueled by a passion for magic that grew out of desperation and loneliness, Carter has become a legend in his own time. His thrilling act involves outrageous stunts carried out on elaborate sets before the most demanding audiences. But the most outrageous stunt of all stars none other than President Warren Harding and ends up nearly costing Carter the reputation he worked so hard to create. Filled with historical references that evoke the excesses and enthusiasm of postwar, pre-Depression America, Carter Beats the Devil is the complex and illuminating story of one man's journey through a magical — and sometimes dangerous — world, where illusion is everything, and everything is illusory.
Glen David Gold's literary debut dazzled critics and fans from coast to coast. Now Carter's center stage for a spectacular paperback . .
The response to Glen David Gold's debut novel, Carter Beats the Devil was extraordinary. He hypnotized us with his portrait of a 1920s magic-obsessed America and of Charles Carter — a.k.a. Carter the Great — a young master performer whose skill as an illusionist exceeded even that of the great Houdini.
Filled with historical references that evoke the excesses and exuberance of Roaring Twenties pre-Depression America, Carter Beats the Devil is a complex and illuminating story of one man's journey through a magical and sometimes dangerous world, where illusion is everything.
What Our Readers Are Saying

The big moment for songwriter Burton Collins arrived at the end of his performance at Country Star Restaurant, and even then all he wanted to do was stand there and listen. That's when Karen Taylor-Good closed the show with "How Can I Help You Say Goodbye?" a song they co-wrote and for which they earned a Grammy nomination.
Accompanying herself on piano, Taylor-Good sang:
"I called up mama, she said time will ease the pain Life's about changing, it never stays the same It's OK to hurt, it's OK to cry Let me hold you and I will try."
The emotional ballad was inspired by the death of Collins' grandmother in 1988 and was a hit single for Patty Loveless last year, even topping the Billboard country singles chart. But tonight's singer-songwriter showcase was a rare opportunity for Collins to see for himself the effects this and other songs have on a live audience. "You can get a real feel for it that way," Collins said later.
"I had some friends there, but people also came in off the street, and what was so nice about it is that people were really listening," Collins said of his rare moment on stage. "Instead of it just being background music--like a lot of bar bands--they came in to hear the songs."
Country Star's "Words & Music" series offers a monthly mix of local and nationally known singer-songwriters who perform their own works in the 500-seat room. It was launched in January with a performance by songwriter Kostas (who has written for Loveless, Travis Tritt, Trisha Yearwood and Wynonna Judd) and Randy Sharp (Reba McEntire, Tanya Tucker, Alabama and Emmylou Harris).
Although foremost a restaurant, Country Star's occasional role as an entertainment venue has helped make it a magnet for country music talent. Just a few weeks before the Collins performance, singer Barbara Mandrell was at the restaurant to be honored with a commemorative star embedded in the floor (other major acts honored this way include Dwight Yoakam, Buck Owens, John Anderson and Yearwood). And Country Star's location at the west end of Universal CityWalk has meant a steady stream of country music artists wandering in before or after their shows at the nearby Universal Amphitheatre, one of the city's most active venues for major touring country acts.
That country artists and fans would find comfort within the walls of Country Star is no mystery, since the place is a veritable shrine to the musical genre. Once past the 30-foot-high doorway designed to resemble a giant jukebox, guests find rooms decorated with country music memorabilia from Judd's Harley-Davidson motorcycle to Western-style jackets once worn by the likes of Marty Robbins.
A sea of nearly 100 screens displays music videos and other country-related images at all hours, even above urinals in the men's room. McEntire herself sings "Happy Birthday" to guests from the video monitors. The sound system is designed so that no one in the room is more than 15 feet away from a stereo speaker. And recent country music releases can be sampled at listening stations throughout the restaurant.
Meanwhile, chef Layne Wootten strolls the restaurant greeting many of the 1,500 to 3,000 daily guests. Standing tall in his cowboy boots, Stetson and drooping gray mustache, Wootten gently recommends one of his barbecue dishes (accented with his own Rattlesnake sauce) or his award-winning chili.
It's not unlike the famed Hard Rock Cafe in its way, although Country Star counts three major country artists--Judd, McEntire and Vince Gill--among its shareholders. "It adds personality to the restaurant," said company chairman Robert Schuster. "All the country music associations have been involved in one way or another. But to have the major names of country music involved gives us a personification and shows what we really stand for."
Among the other founders were the Nashville Network personalities Lorianne Crook and Charlie Chase, who joined the project after they were approached by Schuster with some drawings of the proposed restaurant.
"My pledge at the start was that this restaurant was going to have good food and enrich people on the history of country music," said Schuster, an entertainment lawyer whose father worked in the restaurant business.
By then, McEntire and Gill were already signed on. "He had all these wonderful ideas for promoting country music in this restaurant," Chase said. "What it offers is like an extension of Nashville, where you have an opportunity to go to the country music museums in town. I think the fans get a kick out of that."
One key reason a heavier live performance schedule is unlikely soon at Country Star, Schuster said, is that the building, constructed 17 years ago, was meant to be just a restaurant, not a live music venue. "We can't do (live shows) as well as we would want to," Schuster said.
Although based in Nashville, both Crook and Chase suggested that the Los Angeles area was a fitting place to launch the company, which plans to open other branches in coming years in Las Vegas, London and Orlando, Fla. "There's always been a very strong undercurrent of country music in the Los Angeles area, with artists like Dwight Yoakam and Carlene Carter," said Crook by phone from Nashville. "Some of the country stars even record their music in the studios out there. So it's never seemed like a flash in the pan there."
Country music is now enjoying one of its most popular periods. Schuster, whose legal clients have included such major country acts as the Judds and Garth Brooks, said interest in the music is always high. "Country music has always been big," he said. In general, "in 70% of all radio markets, country music is either the No. 1 or No. 2 station."
In addition to being a business venture, Schuster's motivation for creating Country Star, he said, was to offer an interactive venue for country music fans that was appropriate for families. "I've got two little girls, and there were very few places I could take them," he explained. "In country music there are dance halls and honky-tonks, and concerts are expensive."
Also important to Schuster and the artists was that the country music theme on permanent display not include the old country music cliches of hay bales and wagon wheels as decor. Instead, the restaurant offers a high-tech, upscale atmosphere that reflects the contemporary mainstream country scene.
"You don't see Vince Gill performing in overalls with a pitchfork in his hand," said Brian Gibson, vice president of operations at Country Star. "That is not where country music is today.
"We hope to educate people about country music now. It's crossed over into blues, gospel, funk and R & B. So this is a wake-up call."

A team of researchers has uncovered a specific gene variant associated with an adverse drug reaction resulting in liver injury in a people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It is the first time researchers have been able to establish a validated genetic marker for a drug-induced harm in people with MS.
Published July 16 in the journal Nature Genetics, the findings inform a broader understanding of genetic risk of drug reactions in MS and may lead to clinically useful tests for more individualized approaches to MS treatment and care.
MS rates in Canada are the highest in the world, and the disease affects an estimated 100,000 Canadians. Most people diagnosed with MS are young adults between the ages of 15 and 40 but the disease can also be diagnosed in young children and older adults. MS results from the body's immune system attacking myelin, the fatty material that insulates neurons and enables rapid transmission of electrical signals. When myelin is damaged, communication between the brain and other parts of the body is disrupted, leading to vision problems, muscle weakness, difficulty with balance and coordination, and cognitive impairments.
"One in 50 people with MS who are treated with interferon-beta, one of the most commonly prescribed MS therapies, will develop abnormally high levels of liver enzymes," said Dr. Kaarina Kowalec, a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow at Sweden's Karolinska Institute and co-lead author of the new study.
Liver injury is a common side effect of many drugs, but this is the first time researchers have connected a genetic marker with a biologic drug and elevated risk of liver injury. Currently people with MS have their blood monitored for increased liver enzymes, which can indicate potential injury.
Dr. Kowalec conducted her PhD research at the University of British Columbia under the supervision of Dr. Helen Tremlett at the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health and Dr. Bruce Carleton at BC Children's Hospital.
"Risk of liver injury increases eight fold with this marker. It's important that we be able to understand who might be most at risk so that we can intervene with an altered treatment plan or increased monitoring to prevent liver damage," said Dr. Carleton.
Interferon-beta is a first-generation MS drug that is prescribed to treat the relapse-remitting form of the disease. The biologic drug works with an individual's own interferons - naturally occurring molecules - that exist in the body to reduce inflammation.
"There's a lot of talk about precision medicine, and whether it can work as well as we hope," said Dr. Kowalec. "Pharmacogenomic testing is a big part of that and we're showing that it is possible. It's something that's been done outside for cancer therapies but now we've shown that there's potential for precision medicine in MS as well."
"We often can't determine a person's individual risk for a future adverse drug event very well; that was the case for liver injury in MS, until now," said Dr. Tremlett. "We achieved this by looking for genetic markers. Many were skeptical we would find anything, but we did, and part of what we've done here is set out the methods for other researchers to pursue a similar line of work with the other drugs for MS."
"With more therapeutic options for multiple sclerosis becoming available, identifying predictive biomarkers for drug safety is of increasing importance," said Dr. Galen Wright, co-first author and postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Michael Hayden's lab at the Centre for Molecular Medicine & Therapeutics at UBC. "As highlighted by the findings of our study, genomics can play a leading role in this regard."
The genetic marker was identified with the help of 150 patients from five Canadian clinics and then validated in 120 patients from three sites in the U.S. and one in Sweden.
"This is the kind of research that makes drugs safer," said Dr. Kowalec. "We are now looking at newer MS drugs and taking a similar approach so that one day, genetic risk may factor into how we diagnose, treat and monitor people with MS in Canada and around the world."
Read the full study in Nature Genetics. The research was supported by a pilot grant from the British Columbia Clinical Genomics Network (PI: Tremlett). Dr Kowalec was funded as a PhD trainee from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the MS Society of Canada.

Posted by Colby Rogers - email
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Foreclosures in Virginia fell by 30 percent in January.
Data released Thursday by RealtyTrac shows that 5,366 households received a foreclosure filing in January, including notices of default, auction and foreclosure sales.
RealtyTrac spokesman Daren Blomquist said other states also saw declines in January. He says the drop in foreclosures could be connected to lender moratoriums on foreclosure sales.
Despite the improvement, the number of foreclosures in Virginia was 82 percent higher than a year ago.
Helen O'Beirne with Housing Opportunities Made Equal Inc. of Virginia says many new foreclosures are related to job losses, high medical bills or owing more than the houses are worth.

also, this reminds me of another feature that would be great:
run a cart from another cart.
like, for instance, you have a game split into four carts, and each cart holds a level.
when the player reaches the end of the level, load the next cart and run it!
There isn't currently a way to autolaunch a cartridge. It's a bit complicated; not to implement, but because at this point it would be the only way to make stand-alone carts, and I suspect it would encourage distributing pico-8 in its entirety. So I'd feel uneasy letting that cat out of the bag until I've provided at least one distributable player version licensed for that purpose. (I bumped the html5 player to 0.2 to deal with higher priority stuff first -- but it won't be too far away)
How would you use auto-launching, incidentally? There might be a more specific solution possible.
I will add commandline loading for 0.1.2 as this is also needed for opening .p8 files by double clicking on them
Tab completion is listed!
You can already load and run carts from inside another cart ( load("blah.p8") run() ), but note that it would only be useable from the development environment -- i.e. there won't be a standard way to distribute multiple carts as a collection. I'm hoping that in most cases it will be possible to compress multiple levels to a single cartridge though, using custom compression code. I plan to do this with jelpi, and will post whatever I come up with. It looks like it will be possible to store around 10x typical map data.
I'd like to use the auto-launching on a dedicated machine. I have an arcade cabinet that I'd like to put PICO-8 on (it's more fun to play with joysticks), along with a program that loads other carts (kind of like a little Winnitron launcher). It would be ideal if the launcher cart could be booted without needing to expose a keyboard on the cabinet (especially if it just needs a restart).
It's a very minor request, I understand if it doesn't make it on the todo list. I just thought maybe there was already a solution.
> I'd like to use the auto-launching on a dedicated machine
oh, that sounds sweet! I'll make sure there's some way to do it soonish.
(and please post pictures if it works out :) )
A Raspberry Pi version's in the works, but it looks like it will only run all carts full speed on a Pi 2
by the way, how does ls() work regarding the lua api?
I think right now it doesn't return anything.
More filesystem functions would be welcome for making tools and such, or even just checking if a cart exists (so that for instance, you can warn the user if loading a cart fails).
another solution would be pcall, which isn't implemented in pico8 at this time.
Zep: I tried to load PICO-8 on it, but the app just hung on launch. It's run by a pretty old Mac Mini, running OS X 10.6.8, 2Ghz duo core, 1GB RAM. I'm guessing my issue is the old OS. I thought I had seen system requirements somewhere before, but I can't seem to find a page with them.
Worst case for me is I replace the Mini with a Pi(2) when PICO-8 becomes available for it.
Auto-launching on a dedicated machine would be nice but I wonder if it could be designated to search a selected USB port for a USB drive for make shift cart style loading. :3
Just need to squish a flash drive into a cart sorta shape xD
Won't look fancy no matter what with a USB port sticking out but it'll work the easier than building a proper cart reader.
Easier for most people to make at home anyway.

A must see for window shopping
+ Santa Monica Promenade
Really fun to walk around and listen to live music at night.
+ Abbot Kinney
Super cute street of unique shops and little cafes.
+ Melrose Place
Beautiful shops tucked away in Beverly Hills.
+ The Grove
Literally the prettiest outdoor mall I've ever seen in my life.
+ Griffith Observatory
The most gorgeous view of LA you'll ever experience. (See above for proof.)
+ Paul Smith Pink Wall
Can you really go to LA without taking a picture in front of the pink wall?!
+ Santa Monica Pier
A fun afternoon activity if you're into rides and carnival food (and people watching!).
+ Hollywood set tour
I saw Ellen Degeneres leaving the parking lot. Enough said.
+ Drive Highway 101
If you have a car this is definitely worth the trip.
+ The Ivy
If this post doesn't say it all.... Literally the prettiest restaurant I've ever been to.
Arguably the coolest dessert I've eaten - if you love gelato this is a must try!
+ Beverly Hills Hotel
Definitely go here for lunch by the pool one day. Green palm print allll day long.
+ The Shutters
Delicious for brunch, lunch or dinner right on the water in Santa Monica.
+ Blue Plate Taco
Absolutely delicious Mexican food with bomb guac, and it's right across from the Santa Monica pier.
I'm a little biased (#citrus) but if you like sweet lemonade, fresh food and macarons the size of your hand, 10/10 recommend.

CITY TALK: Savannah's new cultural center: We need to get it right
I agree with the thrust of the recent criticisms about the city's handling of the planned new Cultural Arts Center.
The project has taken too long, has been plagued by bureaucratic chaos and is possibly poised for considerable cost overruns.
And those aren't the only reasons to be displeased.
Of course, there are reasons to be upbeat about the prospect of a new Cultural Arts Center, so I'm going to start with some of the positives.
Savannah is a city that values the arts. We have citizens and leaders who see the need for arts education and for civic performance and exhibition spaces.
The new Cultural Arts Center will house the city's Department of Cultural Affairs, provide arts instruction and host performances by both touring and Savannah-based arts organizations.
Right now, the city is renting a nondescript building on Henry Street for the Department of Cultural Affairs. The small black box theater hosts some interesting performances, and there are a variety of classes and exhibitions in the main space.
But the aging structure wasn't designed for any of its current uses, and it shows.
Meanwhile, month after month, taxpayers are on the hook for rent.
The idea for an impressive Cultural Arts Center took hold during the tenures of Mayor Otis Johnson and City Manager Michael Brown. The project was included in the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) referendum in 2006, with a budget line of $13.4 million.
Most voters did not know at the time, but city officials did know that many items on the project list would cost more than budgeted. With the Savannah economy booming, buoyed by housing and tourism, it was assumed that other money would be available to flesh out the SPLOST revenues.
For example, $80 million was budgeted for a new arena and a new public safety headquarters - way too little money to build both those projects.
Also, at the time of that 2006 vote, virtually no one was prepared for the depth of the 2007-2009 recession, which decimated sales tax revenues and other governmental funds.
So that $13.4 million estimate was low from the outset, but it's still obviously worrisome that the proposed design could cost $25 million.
If the design is scaled back, what will we lose? Will the new building have performance spaces that could be used by the Savannah Music Festival and other organizations committed to programming of the highest quality?
Will we still have adequate spaces for summer camps, workshops and educational initiatives?
It's absurd that the project has taken this long, but if we're going to have a new Cultural Arts Center, we should make sure it meets diverse needs.
The location of the Cultural Arts Center has also been controversial, at least for some of us. I wish more people had objected when former City Manager Rochelle Small-Toney selected the current site at the southeast corner of Oglethorpe Avenue and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.
The site is perfect if we're imagining the Cultural Arts Center as part of a grand gateway to the city.
But the downtown location will be harder for most citizens to access, and the site would undoubtedly be attractive to hoteliers and other private developers.
Why are we spending so much to develop a public building on a site that could attract private development and would add so much to the property tax digest?
The city acquired the site in 2011 from Chatham County, which had long considered it for the location of the transit center, which was eventually built next to the bus station across MLK.
At the time of the 2011 sale, a county official said that it could take years to find a private buyer for the site, and a city official said that construction of the new arts center would likely begin in late 2012 or early 2013.
It's also worth noting that for years the city had planned to build the Cultural Arts Center at Hall Street and MLK. That location would have truly benefited from public investment, would have been more accessible to local residents and would still have been within the Landmark Historic District, easily accessible to visitors.
City officials eventually decided the Hall Street location could not offer enough parking and that creating more parking would be too expensive. Of course, these decisions were made by a failed city manager and by the same departments that once deemed the chosen arena site too small, even though it has room for an arena, a stadium and other development.
So this whole project has been a mess - and a slow mess.
If we're going to have a new Cultural Arts Center at such a key gateway to downtown, history will not look kindly on us if we flub it.

What is an electric car?
The electric car (EV) is a relatively new concept in the automotive world. Although some companies have based their entire car model on using electricity, some also offer hybrid vehicles that run on both electricity and conventional fuels (petrol-diesel).
EVs draw power for their movement from rechargeable batteries installed inside the car. These batteries are not only used to power the car, but also to operate the lights and wipers, they have more batteries than a normal petrol car. They are the same type of batteries that are commonly used when starting a gasoline engine vehicle. The only difference lies in the fact that electric vehicles have more of them, which are used to power the engine.
Advantages of an electric car
Conventional fuels (gasoline-diesel) are not required.
Electric cars are charged entirely by the electricity you supply them, which means they don't need conventional fuel (petrol-diesel).
The biggest advantage of an electric vehicle is their green energy footprint. Electric cars are 100% environmentally friendly as they run on electric motors.
Safe to drive
Electric cars undergo the same testing and inspection process as other conventionally fueled cars. An electric car is safer to use, given their lower center of gravity, which makes them much more stable on the road in the event of a crash. They are even less likely to create some kind of explosion in the absence of fuel.
Reduced noise pollution
Electric cars reduce noise pollution as they are much quieter. Electric motors are able to provide smooth movement with greater acceleration over longer distances.
Battery life and cost
Batteries are an integral part of an electric vehicle. Most electric vehicle batteries are lithium and their performance improves every year. A full capacity lithium ion battery should be good for 300 to 500 full cycles. A good battery can last you up to ten years. With improved technologies, the cost of these batteries is expected to drop even further.
Another really useful feature is regenerative braking. In normal cars, during the braking process we have a large loss of kinetic energy which is released as thermal energy. However, in an electric vehicle, the same energy is used to charge the batteries.
Disadvantages of an electric car
Power stations are still in the development stages. Many places you visit every day won't have charging stations for your vehicle, which means if you're traveling a long way or decide to visit family in a suburban area, it can be harder to find a charging station.
Initial investment cost
As EVs are very new, and the cost of lithium batteries quite high, the initial investment cost is quite high, but decreasing with the development of technology.
Electricity is not free
Sometimes electric cars require a very long charging time to function properly – something you reflect on your electricity bill every month.
Driving range and speed
Electric cars are limited by range and speed. Most of these cars have a range of around 330 to 550 km depending on battery size and body type after which they need to be recharged, although this is expected to improve in the future.
Longer recharge time
While it takes a few minutes to fuel your car with petrol, an electric car takes about 4-6 hours to fully charge. This time can be reduced with specialized power stations (installation of fast chargers).
Depending on the battery type and use, the batteries of almost all electric cars need to be replaced every 3-10 years.

In photography you often need to be at the right place at the right time with the right amount of skill and the right equipment. I just happened to be walking along one day and the way the light was hitting this building captured my photographic eye. The darkened front of the building contrasted beautifully with the golden hue of the sun warmed bricks and the brilliance of the blue sky.
Sorry for the long time in between posts. I have been super busy but I hope to get to regularly updating my blog again.
Night photography is completely different then daytime photography. It requires time and a lot of patience. In fact i would say that more then skill it requires a patient photographer. You could spend 30 or 40mins in one location just trying to get one usable print. This is exacerbated by the long exposure times.
But night photography has its advantages. Things that often appear ordinary and boring at night can take on a whole new aura. An aura of surreality, romance, and mysteriousness. Here are a couple of new pictures that I had taken when in D.C.
You never know what you are going to see when you are out and about. I wanted to share a few snaps I took of this man doing headstands on the beach.
Sorry I have not posted in some time. I have been busy shooting and editing for my exhibition that opened today at the Art Bar in NYC. The address is 52 8th Avenue, New York. Between Horatio & Jane on the East Side of Eighth Avenue (two blocks south of 14th Street). The title of the exhibition is Faces. Most of these pictures have not even been added to my website yet. The works are a collection of black and white portrait images.
It is a great feeling to be able have my work on display. So stop by grab a drink and enjoy the show. I look forward to sharing with you my many new photo shoots. Until next time.
Had a great time this past weekend shooting Tash. As the time grew closer to our shoot date she became increasingly nervous. She felt that she would just stand there with a goofy smile on her face staring into the camera. After some early jitters she settled into a groove with some subtle coaching and suggestions. She was truly a pleasure to work with. We ended up having a great time and she was excited at the end of the shoot.
I had a photo shoot this weekend with a 2 year old. Let me tell you there is a big difference from working with actors, models, and other adults to working with children. They can sure wear you out and their attention span is much smaller than ours. Its definitely important to keep the shoot fun, use props, and take frequent breaks so the child is rested and remains engaged. But no matter what children will do what they want to do once set loose and this will lead to some great and rewarding images. After chasing her around for a couple hours I was WIPED OUT but satisfied. Here are some of my favorites from the day.
The wedding rings are the symbol of marriage for all to see.It is this reason that the rings should share some of the spotlight. Often we see pictures of the wedding rings on the brides and grooms hand. While this is a classic way of posing the rings, why not if time and circumstance allow take the rings aside for a mini photoshoot. You are only bound by limits of your imagination. Remember these will be the most patient subjects you’ll have all day.
Walking along the streets of NYC it seems impossible that you run across a payphone much less one that works. Your chances decrease even further as you venture into Central Park. The advent of the cellphone has lead to the decline in the popularity of the payphone. Despite this there are still some 14,560 payphones in NYC.
As I was walking in Central Park one day I came across this phone. I did some post processing in order to come up with the final images you see here. I look forward to hearing what you think.
Eyes are commonly considered the gateway to the soul. Eye contact is one of the most powerful tools in human interaction. In order to become a better portrait photographer it is essential that we read our subjects eyes. What are the eyes of the subject conveying? Is it happiness, fear, sadness, love, anger, or another emotion. As the photographer it is your responsibility read these emotions and capture them.
What do you see when you look into her eyes?

Brooklyn-based stop-motion animator and mixed media artist (painter, sculptor) Jessie Brugger chose Isaiah 59 for this fanciful and macabre exploration of Spark and Echo Arts’ 2012 theme “Hands.” Molding clay, Jessie inquires of the imagery in the passage, vividly animating the poetry of the ancient prophet’s macabre language.
But your iniquities have separated you from your God;
your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt…
They hatch the eggs of vipers and spin a spider’s web.
Whoever eats their eggs will die, and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.
(from Isaiah 59)
Jessie Brugger, on her process:
Born into a Catholic family and having a father who was a Catholic priest, I am intrigued with religion and how it takes such a presence in society. There are a lot of unknown’s when it comes to Religion; for me, and my work is an exploration into that unknown. The church has been a main influence on my life and work; as it is the first place I understood hierarchy, power struggles and gender injustice, at the same time experiencing beauty, light, and spirituality.
I often use the “Carnivalesque” as a vehicle to portray my thoughts and stories. I was interested in the Bible project that Spark and Echo Arts is doing because there were no limits placed on my interpretation of any passage from the Bible.
I chose hands as my theme because I believe the Bible is a mixture of Man’s hands and spirituality. I chose Isaiah 59 because it was so visually dark and showed how evil man could be, yet somewhere in hands that can do evil, they can also do beauty and goodness too. Hands have always been my favorite thing to draw since I was a child. My hands are my tools.
Creating my vision through clay maquettes that I build in order to tell a story, I use the maquettes as a world to draw from, and then animate. The sculptures are raw and imperfect. I am interested in video because of the time element, I am interested in stop-animation because of the freedom of imagination it allows for: each photo that is taken in the process of a stop animation video is a moment in time that is captured, and complete, yet it is part of a bigger picture. My maquettes, paintings, drawings and videos are all part of a bigger world, in which I am creating.

What do you say when you arrive in a job interview? Many of us start with some sort of noise like, ‘Gumph,’ or ‘Errrr…’
But it turns out that if you walk in with a cheery one-liner ready, it could decide if you get the job.
And that’s regardless of what you say in the rest of the interview.
Researchers from job-hunting charity Resurgo’s Spear programme told the Daily Mail that the first words a prospective employee utters are key to whether they’re viewed positively.
The charity has trained 3,000 16 to 24-year-olds from disadvantaged backgrounds – and has helped 75% of them to get into jobs or further training.
Candidates who are relaxed and able to answer questions such as, ‘How are you?’ in a calm, enthusiastic way will be perceived as ‘fitting in’.
The finding could explain why youngsters from ‘posh’ backgrounds can find it easier to get jobs in an interview situation.
Iona Ledwidge of Resurgo said: ‘Unlocking the secret world of the workplace is not about being posh. It is asking simple questions such as “How are you?” or “How was your weekend?”
‘It is things like how you greet the receptionist, what you say in the first few minutes or when walking down the corridor. It is smoothing over the gaps; a lot is social graces which (some) young people haven’t been exposed to.
‘Small talk is part of building confidence and communication skills in the workplace.’

The Pension Schemes Act 2021 has now received Royal Assent, which marks the start of real change in terms of the UK’s pension system.
It has big implications for your retirement fund – this guide outlines the important changes you need to know about.
Blending Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution schemes
In the past, industry experts have highlighted the disconnect between DB (Defined Benefit) and DC (Defined Contribution) pension schemes.
The new Act introduces a new scheme – the CDC (Collective Defined Contribution) scheme. This means that you and your employer can contribute a fixed sum into a collective fund, which you’ll be able to draw an income from as soon as you retire.
The purpose of the scheme is to boost your pension pot. It’s believed that it will elevate retirement savings by 70% when compared to the Defined Contribution scheme, and 40% in comparison to a Defined Benefit scheme.
Your pension dashboard
Lack of clarity has proven to be a major issue with pensions in the past. That’s why the Act is introducing a new dashboard, where you’ll be able to view all your pension products in one location. It will include any new pensions you invest in, alongside any pre-existing schemes. The dashboard will also highlight any fees or additional charges associated with your pension products.
This is set to be launched in 2023, and it’s hoped that the added transparency will help to reduce confusion or uncertainty.
An environmental focus
The environment is becoming a big priority for many people in the UK, and rightly so. However, this has always been an issue in terms of pension products, thanks to a lack of transparency regarding what industries the pensions are actually invested into.
The new Act requires pension products to come with a full disclosure of their ‘climate-risk’, giving you far greater control over where you invest your retirement funds. It’s believed that this will inspire providers to offer a greater selection of ‘green pensions’ in the future.
Protection against scams
The industry has seen a huge increase in pension-related scams in recent years. The Pension Schemes Act seeks to address this, by giving greater powers to the Pensions Regulator. Additionally, new criminal offences relating to pension products are being introduced. This may help to reduce instances of scamming.
There’s also going to be more protection for investors who choose to transfer their pension scheme. At present, unscrupulous scammers target those who want to transfer to a DB pension, by instructing them to deposit their retirement funds into a fake investment. The new Act seeks to limit this practice, by asking retirees to provide an employment link during the transfer.
What to do if you’ve been mis-sold your pension
If you’ve recently transferred your pension or signed up for a new pension plan, ask yourself the following:
- Did the financial advisor explain the pension product in full?
- Did they explain the level of risk involved?
- Did they assess your attitude to risk?
- Did they provide you with a full range of options?
- Did they explain that in some instances, it’s better to stick with your workplace pension?
If you answered ‘no’ to any of the above, you might have been a victim of pension mis-selling. Get in touch with Goodwin Barrett today, to find out if you’re eligible for compensation – you can reach us by calling 0808 163 1659 today or email firstname.lastname@example.org.

US Supreme Court cancels travel ban oral arguments
Washington: The US Supreme Court has said that it would not hear oral arguments on President Donald Trump's travel ban as scheduled for October 10, the media reported.
According to Monday's order, the court wants to hear from both sides if the issue is moot after Trump issued a proclamation on Sunday restricting the entry for the citizens of eight countries, Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Chad, Venezuela, North Korea, replacing the previous ban on six Muslim-majority countries, citing threats to national security.
However, the order was not a a ruling about the constitutionality or a final decision from the court: the one-page unsigned announcement simply removed the case from the oral argument schedule for the moment.
Solicitor General Noel J. Francisco filed a letter with the Supreme Court "respectfully suggesting" that the justices request supplemental briefs from both sides by October 5 because of the new restrictions the President has outlined.
In the letter, Francisco emphasised the part that revised travel ban which was issued in March had expired, and the administration was putting in place new restrictions after a worldwide review.
The court's order was in response to Francisco's request.
In Sunday night's proclamation, Trump wrote that he was acting "by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America."
The restrictions will go into effect by October 18.
Immigrant rights groups blasted the new restrictions and suggested that the President had added non-Muslim majority countries to the list only to shore up his legal argument that the travel ban was necessary for national security and it was not motivated by comments he made on the campaign trail suggesting the need for a 'Muslim Ban".

From the BBC, with thanks to Joerg and RB:
An Indian Muslim charity has laid claim to the ownership of the world’s most famous monument to love, the Taj Mahal. The Sunni Waqf Board controls all Muslim graveyards in the state of Uttar Pradesh, where the spectacular marble monument is located.
It says the Taj Mahal houses several Muslim graves other than those of the Moghul royalty and thus falls under its jurisdiction.
Millions seeking romance flock to the Taj Mahal every year.
The monument was built by the 17th century Moghul emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved queen Mumtaz Mahal and has since become a Mecca of sorts for amorous couples….
The Sunni Waqf Board (SWB), a Muslim trust, was given ownership of Uttar Pradesh’s Muslim graveyards by the Indian government itself.
The board has issued notices to the Archaeological Survey of India as well as the central government, seeking their reply to its demand by the end of March….
Mr Usman said once the ownership issue had been decided, the board would demand that 7% of the total earnings from tickets should be transferred to its coffers….
Let’s see now. How long do you think it will take for the Waqf Board to outlaw kissing and hand-holding around the “monument to love”? How much of that 7% will go straight to terrorist groups — completely unbeknownst, of course, to Waqf Board officials?

Stanford University announced this week that it will investigate allegations of scientific misconduct involving its president, Marc Tessier-Lavigne, after an independent student news outlet published an article detailing suspected problems with research papers where he's listed as an author.
The Stanford Daily's Tuesday, Nov. 29, article explored possible image manipulation in four papers, including two where Tessier-Lavigne is the lead author.
Scientific misconduct expert Elisabeth Bik detailed to the Daily problems with the papers, including duplicated and altered images.
"There appear to be a lot of visible errors in these papers, and some duplications are suggestive (of) an intention to mislead," Bik said in the Daily article.
University spokesperson Dee Mostofi confirmed to this news organization on Wednesday that Stanford would be launching its own review.
"In the case of the papers in question that list President Tessier-Lavigne as an author, the process will be overseen by the Board of Trustees," Mostofi wrote in an email.
Board of trustees Chair Jerry Yang released a public statement on Friday, Dec. 2 with more information about the special committee that he is appointing to examine the allegations. According to Yang, trustee Carol Lam will chair the committee, with Yang and trustees Felix Baker, James Coulter and Jeffrey Stone serving as the other members.
"In initiating this review, I want to assure the Stanford community that appropriate attention and resources are being devoted to this matter. The special committee will conduct its work with all deliberate speed," Yang said, adding that the committee would be engaging with "expert outside advisors" on its work.
Yang praised Tessier-Lavigne's work as president, writing that "he has effectively led this university with integrity and honor."
Mostofi also released a quote attributed to Tessier-Lavigne, backing Stanford's investigation.
"Scientific integrity is of the utmost importance both to the university and to me personally," Tessier-Lavigne said. "I support this process and will fully cooperate with it, and I appreciate the oversight by the Board of Trustees."
In the case of one of the papers, in which Tessier-Lavigne is listed among 11 authors, the research journal in which it was published has publicly said that it is looking into the issues. The EMBO Journal's editor-in-chief told the Daily that it was doing a "full due diligence screen" of the 2008 paper.
In the case of a 2001 study where Tessier-Lavigne is the lead author, Bik told the Daily that the paper included altered images.
"The photoshopping was done intentionally, there’s no way around it," Bik said, adding that the reason for the changes was unknown and not necessarily falsification.
In earlier comments to the Daily for its initial article, before the investigation was announced, the university acknowledged that there were "issues" with the papers, but said that in two cases the president was not involved in the "generation or presentation" of the questionable images. In two other cases, the university said that the problems "do not affect the data, results or interpretation of the papers," a claim that Bik disputed.
Tessier-Lavigne came to Stanford in 2016 after previously serving as president of The Rockefeller University in New York City. Before that, he worked as an executive at the biotech company Genentech.
His neuroscience research involved the study of brain development and repair, with a focus on degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, according to his biography on Stanford's website.

If cut/torte my 11 x 15 cake by the time I ice the middle and the entire cake , will it ends up being about 4 inches high. Or do I need to do two sheets and ice between the two?
I just made an 11x15 and I had to make 2 to get the 4" height. HTH
it's not that I need it 4 inches high, just don't know how high it would be it i filled the center of it, making a fence around bottom , for ranch theme
When I made my 11X15 it did not raise all the way to the top so once I was done leveling it (1 layer it was about an 1 1/2") the 2 together gave me almost a 4" once it was filled and frosted.
I made a 9x13x2 last week. Did not torte it. Haven't posted it yet. There was a horse scene on top. I made the fence out of fondant and candy clay mixture. It looked really nice with this size cake. So , you, torting and filling and icing,etc. will make your cake about 3" tall or so. I have measured before when i torted and filled and iced,etc. Your cake should look really nice too.tht
I made one two weeks ago and it only came about a little higher than 2" and that was using 2 box mixes.
I made another one a few days after using the WASC recipe (which I doubled) and it worked out perfectly! Even the top was flat enough that I didn't need to level it! It did rise a little above the edge of the pan but it was perfect. I filled it and I think it was about 5" high.
for all your help.
any good tip on how to get cake torted back together saftly, my first time
use a 1/4 sheet cake board (I think they're like 10"x14") and cut your cake and then slide this board under the top layer, then when it's time to put it back on, just jiggle the cake board allowing the cake to begin to slide back off the end of the board back into place on the bottom layer.
thanks will try
