Rated 5 out of 5 by Fisherman Tommy Great value glove
I was at Dick's looking for gloves to take ice fishing. I was looking through a rack of various running, skiing, and other outdoor activity gloves that were rather expensive. On a hunch, I walked back to the fishing section and found these beauties. They are warm, waterproof/resistant, and priced much better than any gloves in the outdoor sports section of the store. I was happily surprised to find gloves for my intended ice fishing use...at a good price.

They do what they are supposed to do, keep your hands warm and dry. Not too bulky either. I haven't used them much but they seem like they will hold up.

Best gloves I've ever owned! My hands sweat when I wear them and that never happens in Minnesota winters.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Laker Slayer Not for the long haul
I ice fish at least once a week and the seams started splitting after the second month of use. I need them mainly when I'm drilling holes with the power auger, that's the longest my hands are exposed to the elements. Had one morning when it was minus 8 degrees and my fingers were numb in about 5 minutes so they can't take the extreme temps. if you're shoveling snow at home, you're ok.

6:00 PM - 7:00 PM [Saturday]
Etown is an exciting weekly radio broadcast heard from coast to coast on NPR, public and commercial stations. Every etown show is taped in front of a live audience and features performances from many of today's top musical artists as well as conversations and information about the world around us. At etown, we build community through music.
This week in eTown, we dip into the archives from the last couple of years to bring back a great show with two up-and-coming artists and an excellent eChievement Award story to boot.
First up is the Santa Cruz-based trio The Devil Makes Three. While being born and raised in the Northeast, the three members made their way to Santa Cruz for college, and ended up sticking around. If you’ve ever spent much time in Santa Cruz, it’s not hard to tell that the characteristics of the area have found its way into the band’s music. If you were to judge based on photographic images of the band alone, it would be easy to make the assumption that this trio leans in the bluegrass direction. Their instrumentation might very well lead you to believe that. This, however, is nowhere near the case. While The Devil Makes Three uses traditional string instruments such as a banjo and upright bass, their sound is far from traditional. The sound is dark, and unique. If you threw a few skateboards into the mix of an old time group, you’d be closer to hitting the mark with their sound. It’s original, and really dang good!
Also with us this week is bluesy singer/songwriter Parker Millsap, who was making his first visit to eTown when this episode was originally recorded. Again, don’t let the exterior appearance fool you here (as it did most of the taping audience when Parker walked onto the stage). Parker is the embodiment of the old saying – “Big things come in small packages.” He is almost way too young to have the huge, seasoned voice and songwriting chops he laid on us all, but somehow he pulls it off with full insistence. We were blown away by his music, and stage presence. I’m pretty sure you will be blown away too!
Along with all of the great music and conversation with our musical guests this week, we also have another touching eChievement Award story in store for you. This time, we draw our ears to hear about the Mosaic Project, an excellent organization that was brought to our attention by our long-time friend and musical guest, Brett Dennen.
It’s a great hour of entertainment and information for you this week. Be sure to tune in or podcast!
What a week it has been here in eTown. If the first few weeks of 2015 are any indication, we are in for a great (and busy) year here in the world of eTown. Last week we had two great tapings, followed by a very special event for this year’s high school participants in our Handmade Songs Series. It’s a very cool program that mentors talented high school-aged aspiring musicians from performance through the recording process. It’s pretty amazing to see and hear how talented these young folks are in the early stages of their musical exploration. You can check out their music, and watch videos of each student over in the Handmade Songs section of our site, HERE.
This week’s eTown broadcast/podcast is no slouch either. This week we have a musical legend, paired with an up-and-coming singer/songwriter that is already making huge strides with her unique voice and cinematic music.
First up, our friend and long-time eTowner, Bruce Cockburn makes another stop in eTown to catch up, share some classics from his bottomless library of music and fill us in on his brand new memoir – Rumours Of Glory. While I personally was less up to speed on Bruce’s vast catalog as our enthusiastic taping audience was, I really enjoyed getting to hear Bruce sing, play and share stories about a few of songs that have touched lives for decades. Bruce is a master at his craft, with equal parts technique, heart and soul. He is also has one of the most interesting approaches to fashion I have seen among eTown’s many guests. I know Bruce’s fans are so dedicated. He bleeds conviction in his music, and that kind of dedication makes a joyful noise – Especially in our little, acoustically-design musical clubhouse.
Also with us this week is New York City-based (with Austin origins) singer/songwriter Kat Edmonson. Kat was with us once before, and she blew me away back then. She was on the show with Dr. Jane Goodall, and I remember how captivated the audience was with her music. This time she was even better! One of my favorite things in music is the concept of space. To me that is the most musical thing you can throw at a song. Nothing. Just empty space. Kat’s sparse music is the perfect backdrop for her lyrical delivery. It gives you chills. Check out the video below for her song All The Way, and you’ll see what I mean.
Along with the great music this week, we have a very nice, in-person eChievement Award story focusing on a man who found a way to make a difference tackling Africa’s AIDS epidemic. Be sure to check out his organization and help out where you can.
Enjoy the show!
I remember walking in to the hall during setup for this week’s taping. It was just like any other taping day. Audio guys were running mic cables across the stage, cases were being rolled to the back of the room, and others from the production staff were making their best versions of Turkey and Hummus sandwiches down in the green room. There was nothing special about it, except for the magnificently crazy looking white piano on the stage. There are very few living folks out there that could sit behind a piano like that and pull it off. I could probably count them on one hand – Elton John, Dr. John, Stevie Wonder, Jerry Lee Lewis – and LEON RUSSELL. That’s when Leon emerged from behind the curtain, sat down at the piano and started warming up. It was a surreal musical moment for me, having just been listening to Leon’s “Carney” album on my turntable a few days earlier, and fascinating myself with the back cover photography of him painted from head to toe and hanging out in a trailer in the middle of nowhere.
Leon is a living legend, and best of all, he can still sing and play like a master. In this week’s episode, you’’ll hear him cover lots of musical territory from his career, and the razor sharp wit he delivers during his interview with Nick is not to be missed. Wait legendary producer does he refer to as a “tiny murderer”? You’ll have to tune in or podcast to find out.
You won’t want to miss this week’s eChievement Award story either. Got an hour? Tune or podcast this week! Check out the videos below for more behind-the-scenes action.
Wow – another year come and gone! It’s hard to believe that eTown is quickly approaching the 25-year mark as an independently produced and distributed broadcast/podcast. Just in the time I’ve been there alone (5 years now) I have seen so many amazing things happen on the stage, and the building (eTown Hall) transform from a shell of an old church to a bustling media center with creativity happening literally on every floor and in every room on a daily basis. It truly is something to be incredibly grateful for, and the `fact is that each and every listener, station, donor and supporter of the program is responsible for keeping this great thing not only alive, but also growing and flourishing every year. For that (and I feel like I can speak for everyone on the eTown staff and production team) we say THANK YOU!
As the confetti settles on another New Years Eve, we are excited to bring you another great archival broadcast/podcast this week. Both of visiting musical guests have become classics in their own right, and have made tremendous impacts on the world of music through their contributions. First up, Band of Horses stop in to share stripped-down, acoustic-based versions of songs spanning their career. It was interesting to get to know more about the band’s history during their interview with Nick. Hearing them play familiar songs with a different slant – acoustic piano, acoustic guitars and stripped down drums – really hammered home just how great many of their songs are. The fact that they can be interpreted so many different ways and still hold water speaks volumes to the caliber of songwriting this group is capable of.
Also with us this week is legendary singer/songwriter Colin Hay. As someone who grew up in the 1980’s, I can’t say enough about the impact Colin Hay’s music had on my life, and many of those who came up during that time period. You probably remember Colin from the incredibly popular group Men At Work. They were absolutely gigantic during that time period, with hit after hit (songs like “Who Can It Be Now”) and some of the most creative music videos on MTV, back when MTV meant “Music Television” and focused on the art form 24/7 before becoming the cesspool of teenage pregnancy shows it has become today. I spent many hours listening to Men At Work’s Business As Usual record as a kid. I’d stair at the photos of the band inside the sleeve and wonder what their lives were like. Needless to say, it was a surreal moment greeting Colin outside of my video editing room when he arrived at eTown Hall for the taping. One of those full circle moments that make life magical.
In addition to all of the great music and conversation, we have an awesome eChievement Award story for you this week as well.
Happy New Year to you all – and be sure to tune in, podcast and check out the video portion of the show below.

Chicago Cubs Lineup (6/4/19): CarGo Tries to Hassle Hoffman, Hendricks Takes Mound
The timing couldn’t be better, as the Rockies come to Chicago for a three-game set just a day after former franchise cornerstone Carlos González joined the Cubs. The outfielder admitted to media members prior to Monday’s makeup that the Rox could sense the Cubs’ weakness heading into last year’s Wild Card tilt, though that sense should be long gone at this point.
Then again, Colorado enters with a 9-1 record in their last 10 while the Cubs are at 3-7 in that same time. So, you know, maybe the limping thing still applies. The home team will attempt to get that turned around behind Kyle Schwarber in left, Kris Bryant at third, Anthony Rizzo at first, and Javy Báez at short.
González is in right after a solid debut that included a great running catch, Victor Caratini is catching, Jason Heyward is in center, and Addison Russell is at second.
They’ll be trying to hassle 26-year-old righty Jeff Hoffman, who’s making just his fourth start of the season and fifth in the last two years. He has allowed 12 runs in his previous starts, all of which have lasted five innings, but hasn’t beaten himself with poor control or hard contact. The issue seems to be pumping too many hittable fastballs early in the count.
Hoffman’s 70% first-pitch strike rate is exceptionally high and his 94 mph heater isn’t exactly a huge weapon. His curve is pretty decent, though, and he’ll dial it up big time when he gets ahead. Righties will also see it on first pitch as much as half of the time. Since abandoning his slider this season, Hoffman’s curve has become his go-to secondary.
He’s also got a firm changeup that he’s equally comfortable throwing to batters on either side, though it’s not an out pitch. The change just keeps hitters guessing, then it’s going to be either fastball or curve with two strikes. This is one of those games in which Cubs hitters should be looking for their pitch and driving it, since Hoffman’s stuff really isn’t enough to shut them down.
Watch Schwarber’s approach in this one to see whether he can stop being passive late in the count while not reaching outside the zone early.
Speaking of which, Kyle Hendricks was money in his last start against the Astros in Houston. The Cubs will need that from him again, even if Norman Avocado and Co. aren’t quite as powerful when playing closer to sea level. As always, the key for Hendricks will be limiting walks and homers.
First pitch from Wrigley is at 7:05pm CT on NBC Sports Chicago and 670 The Score.
Here is tonight's #Cubs starting lineup.

A 60-week programme to transform the iconic St Paul’s Church into an ‘outdoor space’ will get underway next month.
Works to turn the B-listed church on Perth’s Old High Street into an outdoor events space will begin on Monday, October 15.
Perth and Kinross Council wants to see the dilapidated building, which it says is one of Perth’s “most high profile empty buildings”, become a public arts and events space.
Although the council has not said precisely what works will be undertaken over the 60 weeks, it says this is a “major milestone” in the transformation project.
The shape of the unusual hexagonal building and its spire will be retained once it is transformed, however the roof will be completely removed to make it an outdoor space.
This will mean the church, which dates back to the early 19th century, will be kept as a consolidated ruin.
Critics of the council’s plans had previous dubbed this a “halfway house” solution.
Perth Civic Trust had said they wanted to see a long-term use for the building expressed, and added the roof needs to be kept to make sure the building stays secure.
The trust added future uses for the site would be limited if there was no roof kept.
Cllr Murray Lyle, leader of Perth and Kinross Council, said the project will “shine a light” on the investment the local authority is making in the city centre, and says it will compliment other cultural projects in the area, such as the redevelopment of Mill Street, the reopening of Perth Theatre, and its plans to transform another long-standing empty building, Perth City Hall, into a visual arts attraction.
He said: “St Paul’s is a prominent feature of the Perth skyline, and I know it was a source of sadness and frustration for residents, visitors and businesses, when it lay empty for decades and latterly fell into a state of disrepair.
“When the council took the unusual step of deciding to purchase the building in January 2017, it provided an opportunity to not only save St Paul’s, but also to help make a real feature of this part of Perth city.
“The Old High Street, South Methven Street and St Paul’s Square support a range of independent businesses, with the development of Mill Quarter at Thimblerow as a new retail and leisure site, we had an opportunity to make St Paul’s an asset for the area.
“The investment by the council will shine a light on this part of the city centre, making it more attractive to investors and tourists and creating a unique public space which will complement the new cultural and events spaces in Mill Street, Perth Theatre, and the transformed Perth City Hall.”
Since the council purchased the crumbling eyesore, a number of renovation works have been carried out, including removing “many cubic metres” of pigeon poo.
Other works carried out include removing overhead risks such as loose slates, masonry, vegetation and other debris, environmental cleaning and stabilising work within the main church building and steeple, repairing the steeple, removing the pews and other internal features, and removing the mass of pigeon waste that had accumulated in the much-maligned building.
During the 60-week works, a section of Perth’s High Street next to St Paul’s will be shut off to all traffic.
This section of road, which is already restricted to buses and taxis only, will remain closed throughout the transformation works.

When I worked at a non-profit that handled suicide prevention, I had access to the donation records. Each month, a specific man donated 15$ to our organization. It was like clockwork.. same day, same man, he had been doing this for over 4 years. It always seemed odd to me but I never questioned it… until I saw a note attached one month. "For Noah- Dad"
his donation was once his child’s allowance.

Virtual Offering: The Money School
Navigating finances can be overwhelming and intimidating for anyone. None of us learn it in school. But, that's no excuse for burying your head in the sand. It's never too late to get it together and get it all. Money expert and NYT bestselling author Nicole Lapin breaks down the nuts and bolts of your personal finances in a fun, accessible way. In this exclusive version of her money masterclass, Nicole offers clear and actionable steps, tools and tricks for taking control of your money once and for all.
Get It Together, and Get It All
Having reached many of her goals early in life, money expert and financial journalist Nicole Lapin decided to become more entrepreneurial, forging her own path and learning the ropes of finance and investing for herself.
Now, she’s helping others do the same.
Lapin breaks down these complicated and daunting subjects into simple terms, teaching audiences how to get their financial life together – once and for all.
Money is typically an “off limits” conversation, but nothing is off limits here. In this moderated conversation, Lapin lays out a 12-step plan in which she shares her experiences – mistakes and all – of getting her own finances in order.
Distilling the lessons of her wildly successful how-to money book, Rich Bitch, Lapin rethinks every piece of financial “wisdom” you've ever heard — and puts her own fresh, modern, sassy spin on it. With a focus on budgeting and planning, she provides tangible actions that audiences can use to achieve their goals and achieve financial success.

After hitting her rock bottom, she decided to change her working style and came up with a plan to create boundaries and live a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. When she needed a hero most, she had to become her own.
In this talk, based on her most recent book Becoming Super Woman, Lapin offers actionable tips on how to take better care of yourself, increase your emotional wellness, and work smarter not harder.
“It took me years — decades, really — to realize that trying to do everything meant I didn’t do anything well,” she says. “And, trying to be everything to everyone meant I was nothing to myself.”
Backed by her first-hand experience in dealing with it in her own life, Lapin details the rising epidemic of burnout, and teaches audiences how to recognize it, reverse it, and banish it — for good.
“No one is such a big deal that they can't unplug long enough to recharge,” she says.
If I Can Do It, Anyone Can
It's time to take charge of your life and your career – and Nicole Lapin can show you how.
Through her storytelling, Lapin teaches audiences how to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones just like she did – rising to be the youngest anchor on both CNN and CNBC. She discusses overcoming an abusive childhood to become the success she is today with her poignant, raw, and often funny narrative of overcoming adversity, reversing burnout, and getting control of her finances.
Based on her bestselling book Boss Bitch, Lapin shares with audiences 12 steps for how to be the boss of your career – and your life. In her refreshingly accessible and relatable style, she shows how to embrace the “boss of you” mentality by seizing the power that comes from believing in yourself and expanding your skillset. Her candid, no-nonsense advice gives you the tools you need to kill it at as the “boss at work” – whether or not you have a high-up role.
Being a badass in your career is something that should be worn as a badge of honor, says Lapin. Here, she inspires audiences to rise to the occasion and celebrate successes – whether you’re in upper management, a worker bee, or budding entrepreneur.

If there is to be one, it's likely to show up at the Geneva Motor Show and the New York Auto Show and the Goodwood Festival of Speed where Jag says its going to celebrate.
Nothing says Jaguar like the E-Type. It debuted in Geneva in 1961. The car defined the sleek, low-slung, muscular appearance that still defines Jag.
"Half a century of progress has not diminished the significance of the E-Type," said Mike O'Driscoll, Managing Director Jaguar Cars and Chairman Jaguar Heritage. "It was a sensation when it was launched, and remains Jaguar's most enduring and iconic symbol."

The Midwest Rock N Roll Express tour featuring Ted Nugent, REO Speedwagon and Styx came to Cincinnati, Ohio on Tuesday June 26th.
I was surprised to find that Ted Nugent was leading off the show, but I was ok with that as I was pretty excited to see Uncle Ted & company play again. Ted Nugent’s band is rounded out by Derek St. Holmes on rhythm guitar and vocals, “Wild” Mick Brown on drums and Greg Smith on bass. St. Holmes rejoined Ted Nugent’s band in 2011, and is the voice of several of Ted Nugent’s hits including “Free For All”, “Cat Scratch Fever”, “Stranglehold”, “Hey Baby” and “Just What The Doctor Ordered”. The band played all of these songs and more and have never sounded better. St. Holmes still has an awesome voice, and Ted Nugent is a lot of fun to watch play. He makes a lot of crazy faces while playing the guitar, and isn’t afraid to say anything in his live set. “Wild” Mick Brown looks like his is having the time of his life playing drums for Ted Nugent. It was good to see him behind the drum kit.
REO Speedwagon is the second band to take the stage, and quite frankly, I didn’t know what to expect. This is the first time that I saw REO Speedwagon live, and I have to say, I was pretty impressed. I had forgotten how many great songs REO Speedwagon has. Lead singer Kevin Cronin sounds exactly the same as he did back in the 80’s. His voice is spot on perfect. The main highlight of the evening was REO’s performance of their song “Back on the Road Again”. This song is great hard rocker through and through, and while I have never considered REO Speedwagon a hard rock band, this song made me rethink this. After the show, I immediately went online and purchased the band’s albums, Nine Lives and Hi Infidelity. I am hoping that REO Speedwagon comes back to town again sometime in the near future. I can’t wait to hear these songs live again.
Styx is he headliner and the Midwest Rock N Roll Express tour and rightfully so! If you are one of those fans that won’t see the band due to Dennis DeYoung not being in the band, you are truly missing out. Styx was on fire on Tuesday night, and played a ton of their hits including “Blue Collar Man”, “Grand Illusion”, “Man in The Wilderness”, “Fooling Yourself”, “Too Much Time On My Hands”, “Lady”, “Lorelei “Miss America”, “Come Sail Away”, “Rockin’ The Paradise and “Renegade”. Styx’s current lineup is James “J.Y.” Young on vocals and guitar, Tommy Shaw on vocals and guiar, Todd Sucherman on drums, Lawrence Gowan on keyboards and vocals, and Ricky Phillips on bass. Tommy Shaw has been a favorite musician of mine for a long time now. His voice is still amazing after all of these years. This is the second time I have seen Styx with this lineup, and they have put on a tremendous show both times, but I think this one was my favorite of the two I have seen. The band had Chuck Panazzo come out to play a few songs towards the middle of the set. It was good see Chuck back on bass again too!
Although, Styx, Ted Nugent and REO Speedwagon will continue tour for the rest of the year. The Midwest Rock N Roll Express only has 5 dates left. Be sure to
check it out if it hits your town. It was great night of rock and roll in Cincinnati, and I am very glad that I went!
The remaining dates of the Midwest Rock N Roll Express Tour are listed below.
Tue 7/3 Verona, NY Turning Stone Resort Casino
Thu 7/5 Uncasville, CT Mohegan Sun Arena
Fri 7/6 Big Flats, NY Summer Stage
Sat 7/7 Gilford, NY Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion

Do you know the most common injuries in football?
Tackles, head duels, landings, sudden changes of direction, accelerations, kicking and passing the ball – in football there are a lot of situations where you can get injured. Read more about the most common injuries below.
More than 75% of injuries in football occur in the legs. Head and facial injuries are also common. In general, injuries are divided into acute and overuse injuries.
Acute injuries occur suddenly and can be attributed to one single event during a training session or a game. Typical injuries are thigh contusions, hamstring muscle strains, knee injuries and ankle sprains.
Overuse injuries develop over time and cannot be attributed to a single event. It is typical for players with overuse injuries to be playing for several teams, not getting adequate rest. Symptoms are often ignored until they cannot be ignored any longer. Typical overuse injury sites are the groin and knee.
Football players can expect to have at least one ankle injury during their playing career.
- Thigh contusion
- Ankle sprain
- Hamstring strain
- Quadriceps strain
- Groin strain, groin pain
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture without associated injuries to other structures of the knee
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome
- Jumper’s knee
Young growing athletes
- Osgood-Schlatter and Sinding-Larsen-Johansson syndrome
- Sever's disease

The Global Need
Finding the Missing Piece
Global health experts identify essential, lifesaving surgery as the “missing piece” of healthcare in developing nations. Over 2 billion people lack access to essential surgery, and injuries treatable by surgery account for more patient deaths worldwide than HIV, TB and malaria combined.
Experts agree that global health leaders have not prioritized the issue as they should, but economics are the primary reason surgery is unavailable.
Surgeons and other medical professionals sometimes avoid working in the developing world because they either are not paid timely or cannot make enough to support themselves, their employees and their families. For surgeons originally from a developing nation, this reality leads them to practice elsewhere—often in the developed world—where stable earnings are a foregone conclusion. These economics cause a “brain drain” of talented surgeons similar to those low income nations experience in other economic sectors.
More information about the need and how Solventas is addressing it is available in the News & Blog section. [LINK OUT TO MAIN NAV: News & Blog]

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a bill creating an annual day of recognition for pioneering gay rights activist Harvey Milk, officials said Monday.
The designation of each May 22 as "Harvey Milk Day" encourages schools around the state to commemorate the murdered gay politician, whose life was the subject of the Oscar-winning 2008 film "Milk."
Milk was California's first openly gay elected official. He was shot to death, along with San Francisco's mayor, by a former city supervisor in 1978. His birthday was May 22.
Schwarzenegger vetoed a similar bill last year, saying Milk's legacy "should continue to be recognized at the local level."
While gay rights groups praised the governor's signing of the bill, conservative groups reacted with scorn.
Deriding it as "Gay Day," the Pacific Justice Institute criticized the bill and said it "offers no opt-out provisions for parents who might not want their children to focus on sexuality for an entire school day."
"It is no wonder schoolchildren in California are struggling on standardized tests, when lawmakers continue to promote political correctness in the classroom over academic achievement," said Brad Dacus, president of the institute.

Lizzo earned her first #1 single this week, when her two-year-old song “Truth Hurts” reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Consequence of Sound reports that the song’s climb to the top is likely the result of the thrilling and bootylicious performance of the song at the MTV Video Music Awards last month. Lizzo also sang “Truth Hurts” on TODAY and as part of her Tiny Desk Concert for NPR this summer. “Truth Hurts” was first released as a standalone single in 2017, and was included on the deluxe version of Lizzo’s Cuz I Love You album earlier this year. Cardi B congrats the queen while we cross our fingers hoping the two will collaborate musically someday (*cough Truth Hurts Remix *cough *cough).
WE’RE NUMBER 1. THIS IS A W FOR ALL OF US. ANYBODY WHO EVER FELT LIKE THEY VOICE WASN’T HEARD. ANYBODY WHO FELT LIKE THEY WEREN’T GOOD ENOUGH. YOU ARE. WE ARE. CHAMPIONS. I LOVE YALL 3 MUCH. LIZZBIANS UNITE 🌈☔ pic.twitter.com/Ur4hrtwCnt

“My manuscript. It’s missing.” I’m on the phone with the computer tech person John who I’ve come to know far too well in two intensive days of resolving my Macbook Pro’s groaning weight of issues.
We’d come to this pivotal moment when he thought he’d restored the essentials back onto my computer and was about to have me erase the backup drive. Calmly, John helped me find my Scrivener application and the file. There was one huge problem. The only document he could unearth was two years old. I opened the version of my kingfisher book in dismay. Two years of work–poof! Gone.
Bereft. Heart-pounding. Protesting within. No, this must be a nightmare. I’ll wake up. There’s no way I could re-create the last two years of writing. I’d come so close to finishing and now I faced a disaster. Yes, I had a printed version from a year ago, but even that gave me a sense of despair. So much had changed since then.
John Steinbeck lost two months of his writing once. The book? Of Mice and Men. The culprit? His puppy ate a chunk of the book. He went on to rewrite the missing chapters and produced a masterpiece.
I didn’t find this comforting. That night I tossed and turned, waking up to an email back from the Scrivener writing application help desk that proved far from helpful. Basically, I was supposed to know where the backups went of the file and if they didn’t show up under .scriv, she couldn’t advise me.
In the three hours before John could return to his call with me and continue the search, I was far from moving past grief and denial stages. What I did feel strongly was another sensation: empathy for all whose hearts beat the wild pulse of loss, and empathy for those who care about them and no words can be the right ones.
I’m a conservationist. I know loss. The two go hand in hand. I’ve seen the felling of 500-year-old monumental ponderosa pine snags on the Upper Imnaha River last summer and grieved. Even as a child, I witnessed the erasure of an entire woods that used to be my daily retreat when my family lived in Arlington, Virginia, during those challenging junior high school years. I had returned years later, to walk to the monastery through the hardwoods, to see if I could find the trees I climbed to read books, and instead? I found streets and houses and no woods at all, as if they’d never existed.
When can a loss be restored or rewoven? Or when is a loss forever, as in extinction? I can rewrite this book. I can put the energy back into it, and come up with something potentially better. When an ancient tree is felled, it’s gone. When habitat is developed and destroyed, it’s gone, and with it the owls that nested in hollows, the warblers that wove delicate nests on branches, and the bears that denned under massive roots, the elk that slept at night in soft, sleek pine grasses in the forest shelter. When a river is poisoned and the fish die, the kingfisher vanishes too, and so do the sandhill cranes that Aldo Leopold forever etched in our minds with these lines:
“Our ability to perceive quality in nature begins as in art with the pretty. It expands through successive stages of the beautiful to values as yet uncaptured by language. The quality of cranes lies, I think, in this higher gamut, as yet beyond the reach of words.” Marshland Elegy, A Sand County Almanac.
John called me as my thoughts kept spiraling down, the empathy expanding, and the grief still raw. The Apple tech expert has to be part therapist. He reassured me, explaining that my manuscript had to be in the backup drive. It’s lost, but he would find it. He gave me an analogy. Think of boxes without labels stacked in a garage. Each one has its contents, but from the outside you can’t tell what’s inside. A search on a computer is like this. If a file is hidden inside a box without the right label, the file is difficult to find. Then he went on to tell me it would be as hard as finding a needle in a haystack. This was not reassuring.
John took another tact. By some miracle, he walked me through a procedure to restore the laptop to the exact way it was in the beginning with all its huge problems that had led me to call in the first place. We were back to square one-three days later. When it was time to click on the Scrivener application, I could barely press my finger on the “S” of the program icon. It was terrifying. And then? There it was. The latest version restored. Back. Returned. Hallelujah! Jubilation!
And yes, we went forward again to fix the computer and it does seem to be purring along. I now save my manuscript in multiple ways, sending it on email, putting it in the “Cloud” and checking where it’s backed up. That place. The “Cloud.” Sounds mysterious and it is- this floating Internet place where files can live. Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could save all the pieces of nature in the Cloud? We could call them back. We could even call back the extinct ones. The passenger pigeon could live in the “Cloud” and return to forest habitats we would restore on earth.
A real cloud is a masterpiece of its own. Whether gathering in a formidable thunderstorm of bruised majesty or lazily gliding in cotton whiffs across the sky or playfully assuming the shape of swans, monkeys, or seals, a cloud serves as the illusionist in our lives. What’s real? What’s not? The shape-shifting cloud crosses the sun, casts momentary darkness and chill. The cloud brings life-giving rain. The cloud can be the restorer, and the place that harbors memory and daydream.
Look to the cloud. Look to the sky where birds fly into the hidden recesses of mists. On cloudless days, the sky is the canvas waiting for the artist. The clouds come like words tapping from my fingers, sometimes with drama and other times musing and floating. The cloud signifies imagination in our lives. Look to the clouds in nature. What might we accomplish that lifts us up from gravity and into the realm of birds?.
Oh, girl friend, you had my heart in a knot!!!! Hair on my arms standing on end. What a relief. What writing/ mary >

To play at an online casino, you’ll need a computer with an Internet connection. There are two main types of online casinos: those that require you to download a software client and access games through a web browser. Although there are some casinos that only offer one option, most offer both. These casinos also allow you to place bets through your phone, tablet, or smartphone. For more information about online gambling, read our overview of the different types of gambling available.
Legitimate online casinos have licenses and are regulated by government authorities. Check whether an online casino has licenses and monitoring information before placing a bet. There are many scammers out there waiting to take your money. Some countries do not allow gambling, so accessing an online casino is a crime. All countries have age restrictions for playing. Make sure you’re 18 or older to play. The laws about online gambling vary from country to country.
Most states have legalized online gambling. However, gambling is prohibited in Idaho, Utah, and Hawaii, due to the large Mormon population. Additionally, residents of these states worry about the potential impact on family relationships. Therefore, it’s best to check with your state’s laws and regulations before you start playing. There are many sites that offer online gambling, so you won’t have to worry about getting scammed. If you’re not sure whether to play, consider a few tips before signing up.
It’s important to note that online gambling is legal in 48 states. Hawaii and Utah are the only states that aren’t legalizing it. Moreover, these states have a large Mormon population, and the gambling laws in both are heavily influenced by personal beliefs. These residents fear that gambling might affect their family relationships, which is why they’re not allowed to play online. Fortunately, Idaho doesn’t have many laws against online gambling, but the federal government is still trying to restrict it.
Many countries around the world have legalized online gambling, but it’s still illegal in some places. Most of the European Union and Caribbean Sea nations have legalized it. Several federal criminal cases have been filed against companies that offer online gambling to Americans. The UIGEA would have banned online gambling to the United States. In addition to its legality, there’s been no other significant lawsuits against online gambling since then. In the United States, the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act was passed in 1998, but the law was never passed.
In the United States, the online gambling industry is divided into three major categories: game type, end user, and geography. Currently, the market is divided by geography, as it covers the countries that are most popular for it. While it is legal in the United States, it’s illegal in other countries. While the majority of states have legalized online gambling, it’s not legal in the U.S. Most U.S. banks prohibit the use of their cards for internet gambling.

LKI 2020-044 PRESS STATEMENT
July 21, 2020
LABAN KONSYUMER CALLS FOR MWSS TO REDUCE WATER RATES DUE TO LOWER INFLATION RETROACTIVE JANUARY 2020
( Relatedly, the consumer group reminds the MWSS of its plea last year to engage in a public forum the alledgedly modified Water Concession Agreements sans the “ onerous provisions “ of the existing contracts, all to instill transparency as well as reasonable water rates ).
Consumer Group Laban Konsyumer Inc. (LKI) wrote a letter to Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewage System Regulatory Office Chief Regulator Atty. Patrick Lester N. Ty saying “last year we had a disagreement on the inflation factor. In short, Laban Konsyumer Inc. accepted the Consumer Price Index versus the Core Inflation and the 5.7% inflation for the 2019 charging year. That resulted to an increase water rates for Manila Water of PHP0.64 per cu m and PHP 1.48 per cu m for Maynilad, retroactive to January 2019.”
LKI President Atty. Vic Dimagiba wrote “Moving forward, and using the Consumer Price Index published by the Philippine Statistic Authority, the percentage change in inflation from July 2018 to July 2019 and for the 2020 Charging Year is measured at 2.32%.”
The consumer group asked “may we be informed of any action taken by the Regulatory Office as well as the MWSS Board towards a substantial rollback of water rates retroactive to January 2020. Just by using simple mathematics, the rollback should be not less than PHP0.64 and PHP1.48 per cu m for Manila Water and Maynilad, respectively, and should be retroactive to January 2020.”
Dimagiba added “As per Republic Act No. 9485 as amended by Republic Act 11032, or the Anti-Red Tape Act and the Ease of Doing Business, may we receive your reply online within three days from receipt of this letter.”
LKI stated that MWSS Regulatory Office (RO) acknowledged receipt of the email and letter and have forwarded the email to the concerned department for their appropriate action. The consumer group will await the response and feedback from the regulator on the issue as they believe that this is an important topic to tackle and resolve as soon as possible, especially that many Filipinos are still suffering the effects of the pandemic and the quarantine status of the country. LKI wishes to protect consumer welfare from overly high water prices and rates, and feels that this is a topic the regulator can alleivate accordingly and speedily.
Dimagiba said “the most recent rate adjustment limit due to the 2019 CPI of 5.7 percent was an increase of PHP0.64 pcm for Manila Water and PHP1.48 for pcm for Maynilad. This should be written off and a rollback further should be applied and implemented right away for the consumer welfare. From 5.7 percent the prior year, MWSS should have a rollback of water rates in 2020, beginning that year. Percent change from July 2019 to July 2020 is 2.39 percent. Looking at the data showing the CPI from July 2018 which is 117.4, then monthly all the way to July 2019, you can assess from the percentage change with 2020 as charging year should mean that consumers and customers enjoy lower rates.”
Relatedly, the consumer group reminds the MWSS of its plea last year to engage in a public forum the alledgedly modified Water Concession Agreements sans the “ onerous provisions “ of the existing contracts, all to instill transparency as well as reasonable water rates.

There are a few bands that have been an influence for many others but still manage to sound like no one else. Motorhead is a good example. Motorhead influenced all of the metal and a lot of the hard rock after it. They influenced bands in punk and in metal. Metallica owes Lemmy and his crew a great deal. But despite all of this, no one sounds quite like Motorhead. The minute you hear them you know who they are.
Killing Joke are exactly the same way. They are the one and only. Despite having a huge influence on industrial, goth and metal music, the minute you hear Killing Joke hit the speakers, there is no denying the band you’re hearing.
Born from the late 70’s, Killing Joke is a band of anger and intelligence. If I were to describe their sound, when the apocalypse happens, the music of the tribes left behind will sound remarkably like Killing Joke. They came around when Margaret Thatcher began her reign over England. They were loud and aggressive and knew what they were talking about.
Oh, and there was rumors that they were into the occult.
This means they are ripe for a documentary and much like the band themselves, there isn’t anything usual about the film covering Killing Joke’s history.
Part band documentary, part film about the occult, The Death and Resurrection Show is an incredibly interesting documentary on a band that has never really gotten their due from the press but whose influence still reverberates to this day.
As a fan of the band, the film is great. While it does tend to revolve around leader singer / keyboardist Jaz Coleman, we do get a fair amount of time with the other members of the band as well. We journey from the band’s humble beginnings to the reformation of the original members decades later. We get the occasional anecdote about life on the road and recording sessions. As someone who loves music, I love hearing about why and how the band got their big sound and how the lyrics were incorporated into it. You realize that despite their differences over the years, the band’s members still have quite a healthy respect for one another especially when it comes to their playing. Jaz even says during the film that there is no one like his guitarist. “The sound that comes out of this man Geordie. It strikes terror into every guitarist on the planet….”. You discover that Jaz is a symphonic composer and has been a composer in residence for a number of countries over the years, winning Grammys for his work. But you also have stories like the time Jaz and Geordie ran to Iceland to escape the end of the world.
Interspersed with that narrative, we find out that Killing Joke didn’t just dabble in the occult and magik, but used it as a tool to help shape their lives and careers. How the four men were brought together by a ceremony and have a had a deep connection ever since. While this sort of thing may be against your belief system or what have you, by the end of the film, you are not only sure that the members of Killing Joke believe in the rituals and practices but that they clearly work for them as well. This is a band that recorded vocals in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid in Egypt.
Now, I tend to find that when a filmmaker kind of splits a film like they’ve done here, once side tends to get the short end of the stick. Either it becomes all about the occult or it becomes a standard band documentary. Either is fine. Lord knows I’ve watched a few of each and the subject matter is strong enough here that either path would have made a good movie on it’s own. What director Shaun Pettigrew has crafted is a really interesting balance where we get the best of both worlds. We see all facets of the band including parts other bands might not be willing to talk about.
Love Like Blood, for example, is the most commercial song Killing Joke has had. I imagine a few of you listing to the clip I’ve provided might not be able to tell that it’s Killing Joke with the exception of Geordie’s guitars in the beginning. Their time as a Top of the Pops band was short lived and eventually, the band returned to a more aggressive sound. A number of bands and filmmakers would just kind of sweep that under the rug. But here, Pettigrew and company not only talk about it, they talk about what that period did to the band and how it would actually inform their later sound.
Pettigrew also uses visual effects like mirror images and jump cuts and not shooting the current interviews with Jax from above his nose. Nine times out of ten, this unconventional style irks me. For whatever reason, not only does it work in The Death and Resurrection Show, it has an almost hypnotic effect, drawing the viewer into this world of music and madness. He blends new footage and old with care and purpose. As far as I can tell from his IMDB page, this is his first feature. After watching it, I’d love to see more from this guy.
Watching the film for the second time, my first thought was “I’d really like a montage of big bands that count Killing Joke as an influence”. It’s standard documentary stuff and I’d honestly love to hear James Hettfield’s take on The Wait (which Metallica have covered) or some words from Trent Reznor on how an important a band they are.
But I came to the realization that if you start doing that, then it becomes like ever other band documentary and that takes away from what makes this such a special and unique film.
So what’s my recommendation? Killing Joke are not a band for everyone, nor do I think they’d ever want to be. But oddly, I think this story of a band combined with the tidbits you get about the occult and the band’s practices, might make them more interesting to a broader audience.
I’m thinking I want the DVD (which you can pre-order now) to see extended interviews and what might have been left out from the finished product.
If you’re gonna geek out, GEEK HARD!

I am at soccer practice running around
with first-time cramps, in awful polyester shorts,
cursing to myself, this every month forever?
Dad picks me up in his tan and white striped
Volkswagen van, the one with the funny horn
he Rube Goldberged to sound like a cow.
Moo! I rush to the van, can’t wait to escape,
climb in, slam the door. I notice a rose
on the dashboard, tell Dad how nice it is
that he got it for Mom. He says it isn’t for Mom,
the rose is for me. I pick it up, hold it in my lap.
We don’t talk on the way home. I stare at the rain
starting to fall, listen to the wipers swish back and forth.
We had what we called smacking contests.
Not my oldest sister because she was special,
meaning learning-disabled, but the rest of us.
The game started after dinner, not every night.
Only one child at a time. It began as forceful
little pats on the cheek and led to full whacks.
First dad, then me, then dad, then me.
Of course, he was stronger. I was nine or ten.
He egged me on to continue, taunted me,
which I perceived as play, wanting each sting
of his attention. It most always ended in tears,
and if not tears then burning confusion.
My father always boasted how he could count
on one hand the times he hit us in anger.

PRESS FREEDOM REFLECTION
After the Bell: The limits of offensiveness
I recently learnt a lesson about free speech. This is a bit personal, but permit me some latitude here; there is a reason that I’ll get to.
Some time ago, I wrote an article in this column space which was a broad assessment of the SA economy. Honestly, I thought nothing of it; I certainly didn’t think it was controversial. The message was unsurprising: I concluded that the economy was struggling. Surprise. But there were, as there always are, contrary indicators, which of course I mentioned because if you are being an honest journalist, you try to put all the relevant facts on the table.
To my extraordinary surprise, a pair of YouTube vloggers just laid into the piece. I don’t want to mention who they are because I can’t stand the idea of giving them a morsel of publicity. But they do a regular YouTube discussion about South Africa and its politics from a right-wing perspective, and they have a respectable number of subscribers, about 50,000.
Now, may I just tell you, it is extremely unusual for me to be criticised by the right. My colleagues, who like most journalists consider themselves broadly left wing, thought it was enormously funny. I get plenty of criticism from the left, some acutely vituperative. I consider myself a fairly conventional supporter of free markets, responsible economics and liberal thoughtfulness. Not everyone agrees, so one understands. Quite clearly, that’s not what this duo thought.
In the style of right-wing bloggers everywhere, they position themselves as “fighting the machine”, of which the “establishment” press is but one hated component. They seem to have a particular beef with News24, for reasons I find hard to understand. Well … it’s not that hard to understand; it’s kinda self-serving actually. If you are not attached to a formal journalistic institution and you are in the news commentary business, why not make a virtue out of the fact that no reputable institution will hire you?
Anyway, the duo latched on to several of the contrary indicators that I mentioned, completely ignoring the side of the argument they would probably not disagree with, and absolutely trashed the article and me personally.
Now, I should say, I am actually used to this after 30 years as a journalist. I can’t remember how many times I’ve been called a racist and, par for the course, I’ve had a few death threats, but far, far fewer than many of my colleagues. But it is still a sobering experience to wake up in the morning to discover your face on the front page of five newspapers, accused of being an agent of apartheid-era Stratcom. (I wasn’t.)
So, by the standards of some other critics, shall we call them, this duo was by no means the worst. But they did describe me as a “dickhead”, a “kak”, a “dickweed” and a “retard”. What really got to me was being called a “kak”; I mean, it’s bad enough being dismissed, but isn’t the act of excreting a verb rather than a noun? Is it too much to ask that your insults should be grammatically correct? Apparently so.
Mostly, I just ignore this stuff. If you are a columnist, you have your say; you shouldn’t really complain when others have theirs. But there is a limit, and it did irk me that FNB — my bank! — was advertising on the site. So, I sent YouTube a complaint and, to my shame, I asked them to take the piece down, or at least demonetise it.
Hooo-wa. That started a whole long set of emails. I was asked what exactly I was complaining about. I said I had been defamed. I was told to specify where exactly in the piece the defamation happened. I did. I was asked what defamation laws exist in my country. I described them. It just went on forever.
Ultimately, I got this email: “Hello. We’ve reviewed your request, and we’re unable to find a violation in your defamation claim under our legal policies. Therefore, we will not remove the content under our defamation policy. We suggest that you address your concerns directly with the uploader of the content in question.”
Honestly, I was furious. All that emailing for nothing. I did as they suggested and weighed in on the video in the commentary space, saying that the piece was obviously defamatory, and the duo then took it down. To me, the whole incident was a great example of how social media enhances conflict and hatred by tacitly, and sometimes not tacitly at all, encouraging the haters.
But once I had a chance to cool down, I thought about it. The conclusion I came to was that I was wrong, and YouTube was right. It’s unpleasant for me to be called a “kak”, but in a free society, you should be free to call other people names, (even if they are grammatically incorrect).
Freedom of speech is not about being nice or even being accurate; it’s about the utility of being offensive so that, in circumstances where it matters, you too can be offensive. And sometimes, it really matters.
I mention all of this because the Press Ombud has just made a ruling which I think is wrong. What happened is that the editor-in-chief of News24, Adriaan Basson, wrote a clearly marked opinion piece titled “Welcome to the City of Clowns”, which was about the crazy leadership changes in the City of Johannesburg.
In the piece, Basson said that by bringing in Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader Gayton McKenzie, “the ANC-EFF coalition will ensure they have a majority in these cities. But it will come at a price. McKenzie and the PA have been blunt about the fact they are in it for the tenders. Their aim will be squarely to capture departments with the highest budgets and opportunities for rent-seeking.”
I remember reading this piece and being a bit shocked. It seemed to me a rather loose comment. But when the case was argued before the Press Ombud, Basson actually backed up his argument and mentioned several times that McKenzie had openly salivated over the power politics confers. His comments didn’t specifically mention tenders, but there was clearly a dog whistle going on here. They weren’t miles away either. In one case, the PA had in fact been criticised by a political rival for hiring contractors without consulting the municipality or getting authorisation from the council.
None of these incidents was actually disputed by the PA in the case, and the Press Ombud consequently dismissed it on the basis that this was an opinion article that was not devoid of evidence. But on appeal, the finding was reversed.
The appeal agreed this was a commentary article, and so the relevant issue here is Clause 7 of the Press Council’s Press Code. That says:
- (7.1) “The media shall be entitled to comment upon or criticise any actions or events of public interest”; and
- (7.2) “Comment or criticism is protected even if it is extreme, unjust, unbalanced, exaggerated and prejudiced, as long as it is without malice, is on a matter of public interest, has taken fair account of all material facts that are either true or reasonably true, and is presented in a manner that it appears clearly to be comment.”
The appeal trio, led by Judge Bernard Ngoepe, pointed out that just because it’s a commentary article, doesn’t mean that everything mentioned as fact is automatically granted licence. In this case, the judges found: “In our view, Mr Basson’s claim, that ‘McKenzie and the PA have been blunt about the fact they are in it for the tenders’, crossed the fine line between comment and factual assertion.”
Later, they found: “It is true that Clause 7.2 permits comments that are ‘extreme, unjust, unbalanced, exaggerated and prejudiced’. But the requirement to take fair account of true facts entails a reasonable degree of fidelity to the truth.”
Well, you know, with great respect, does it? What if you suspect that someone who has been to jail for robbing a bank might want to get into politics because the power it provides gives them access to public money? Can you not raise that suspicion, and put the onus on the politician to demonstrate that they are in fact honest? But in terms of this judgment, to do so would be without “a reasonable degree of fidelity to the truth”.
I think what is happening is this: After a gazillion examples, many people in SA imagine it’s realistic to expect that politicians want to get into power to get control over the tenders. Journalists are at their wits’ end trying to change that attitude and expose this stuff. And when they do, seemingly nothing much happens. The result is frustration and loose commentary. None of this background was considered in the case.
This is a hard case, and hard cases make bad law, the saying goes. I’m sure the judges, in this case, were trying honestly and sincerely to ensure that the press observes “a reasonable degree of fidelity to the truth”. There is nothing wrong with that, and I would not for a moment dispute their bona fides. Obviously, the press that subscribes to the Press Council will abide by the ruling.
But is it not also reasonably true that tender fraud in SA is out of control? And, if that is so, is it so wrong to suggest that politicians might seek that end? DM
PS: Also, for the record, I dispute that I am “a kak”. I think the claim doesn’t show a reasonable degree of fidelity to the truth. Just saying.

Lots of motorists are hitting the road on this busy holiday travel weekend.
If you are traveling this Memorial Day Weekend, police in Braintree, Massachusetts are asking that you not follow the example of one person they had to issue a citation to on Thursday.
Police say they cited a motorist for driving with a sunshade still over the windshield. They say the driver was trying to drive while peering out of a small area over the top of sunshade.
Braintree police said in a tweet, "No! You are not a tank commander! Do not attempt to drive with a sunshade still on the windshield."

****UPDATE: DOT cameras show traffic is moving along I-85 North once again after the lanes were closed due to a wreck.****
A second vehicle crash has closed both lanes of I-85 North in Orange County near Hillsborough.
North Carolina Department of Transportation officials reported the latest crash at 3:05 Tuesday afternoon near mile marker 165 and delays have quickly accumulated with both of the northbound travel lanes closed.
This is the second crash that has impacted lane openings on that stretch of highway on Tuesday. The first wreck closed one lane near mile marker 169 in eastern Orange County, where the right lane was already closed for construction crews to replace aging signs along the interstate.
There is no information available detailing any injuries that may have been sustained in the crash.

Ordinarily we favor patient deliberation in the pursuit of justice — particularly when, as in the case of the current special investigation into charges of a blackmail plot against Memphis mayor Willie Herenton, there are political implications involved. But since there is a mayor's race on, and especially since this year's city election is shaping up to be as epochal in its way as the one in 1991 which first elected
Herenton, we incline to the view that we as citizens are entitled to the equivalent of a speedy trial. Once so distant in our mind's eye, the filing deadline for mayoral candidates and other city candidates — July 19th — is now almost upon us.
Given the gravity of our political situation — a City Council decimated by charges of corruption, a growing schism between the community's economic leadership and the mayor's office, a sense of civic confusion symbolized by the entangled Networx and MLGW dilemmas — this is one case in which due process could morph into "long overdue."
There are two questions in particular that special prosecutor Joe Baugh should quickly get to the bottom of: 1) Was there a "blackmail" plot or any other criminal enterprise of the sort charged by Herenton in his bizarre press conference of some weeks back? 2) Has there been a legitimate ongoing investigation by law enforcement authorities into improper relationships between city officials and topless clubs or similar enterprises?
It seems clear now that answering those two questions would not constitute the be-all or end-all of everything we need to know politically or, for that matter, the completion of an investigation into possible corruption and illegalities. But having some sort of reliable focus on those two issues is crucial to our ability to shape our own destiny this election year.
We understand the unlikelihood that Baugh can provide those basic preliminary answers in the next two weeks. Depending on what he might say, accusations of haste or political slanting or whatever might well come from this or that quarter and become embedded in the dynamics of the campaign. It is far more probable that the special prosecutor could speak with completeness and authority at some later point before the October 4th general election itself, and that, too, would be worth something.
But we think some earlier resolution, before July 19th, is worth the risk. It should be possible, at least in partial or general terms, to provide some guidance to the community on the two indicated issues. Putting it bluntly: There is reason to believe that the mayoral field is still incomplete, and there is a definite "need to know" on the part of major candidates still meditating on whether their candidacies would be matters of genuine urgency for Memphis itself and for the city's greater metropolitan area.
Let us say too: What we have learned in the last couple of weeks about private interventions into the public weal has been disquieting. We don't doubt, for example, that Nick Clark is motivated by religious conviction in his concern about topless clubs. But there are aspects to his own freebooting investigation that smack of vigilantism and commercial self-interest. What we need, as quickly as possible, are public answers to public questions from a duly constituted public source.


Simplifying The Setup of an Energy Measurement Plan
Many facility owners and managers are setting up measurement plans to gather the broad range of information needed to improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, and ensure power reliability. To collect this information requires power metering and monitoring devices (PMDs) that go beyond the capability of the traditional revenue meter. Up to now, choosing the best PMD for each application has been difficult due to the lack of common references between vendors regarding accuracy, operating conditions, and quality. This guide will help electrical system designers use the IEC 61557-12 standard to more easily specify the appropriate devices needed to support an effective power and energy management plan.

UPDATE: Jack Magruder of FOX Sports Arizona says the decision has been made. Gibson will be back.
According to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com new Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers will make an announcement “regarding manager Kirk Gibson and coaching staff” Monday, with the assumption being that Gibson will be named the full-time manager after filling the role on an interim basis for the final 83 games of the season.
Gibson’s winning percentage is actually slightly worse than the .420 mark that predecessor A.J. Hinch posted in one-plus season on the job before being fired, but the former MVP and World Series hero has generally received positive reviews from Diamondbacks players and the media.
Towers and Gibson recently spent time together on a road trip in what the GM described as “a getting-to-know-each-other session.” In addition to apparently keeping Gibson as manager, Towers also successfully kept Jerry Dipoto in the organization after the former interim GM finished runner-up to him in the full-time GM job search.
