Biographies of the Civil War and Reconstruction
Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, and More
Nowhere can intricacies of the ideological, regional, and economic tensions that erupted into the American Civil War be better seen than in the individual actors who fought both on and off the battlefields and on either side for what they believed. While some vigorously struggled for emancipation, others vehemently resisted such a notion, while still others were motivated primarily by regional loyalties and the desire to preserve the only way of life they knew. This penetrating volume profiles many of the soldiers, generals, political leaders, and social activists who left indelible marks on the Civil War and Reconstruction eras, thereby altering the entire course of American history.

North Dakota State Edges IPFW in Summit Tourney, 69-68
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Carlin Dupree's layup with 4 seconds left lifted fifth-seeded North Dakota State — which trailed by as many at 18 — over No. 4 seed IPFW 69-68 in a Summit League tournament semifinal on Monday night.
The Bison (20-12) will face second-seeded South Dakota State (25-7), which beat No. 6 seed Denver in the other semifinal, in the title game on Tuesday.
Dupree, who quit the team in January unhappy with his role and returned two weeks later, led the Bison with 22 points. The drama wasn't over after his go-ahead bucket though. He was fouled on the play and missed the free throw. IPFW gathered the loose ball but couldn't get a last-second shot off.
Dupree's bucket gave North Dakota State its only lead of the game.
Khy Kabellis had 19 for NDSU and A.J. Jacobson added 10.
Max Landis led IPFW (24-9) with 19 points. John Konchar added 17 and Michael Calder had 16.

Coupled with the array of Nollywood A-listers backing the Super Falcons ahead of their World Cup campaign in France next month, the team will add another high profile name.
Thomas Dennerby’s team will not be short of support in France and can count on his Swedish compatriot and Head Coach of Eskilstuna United DFF, Magnus Carlsson, to cheer the 9-time African champions on.

Gov. Sam Brownback and his former Democratic challenger will have their first public meeting since the election at the State Finance Council meeting on Monday. This meeting comes in the wake that the state is facing a budget shortfall, something Davis warned would happen on the campaign trail, which Brownback has yet to make a public comment on.
Secretary of State Kris Kobach said that he did not mean to imply President Obama’s executive action on immigration would lead to ethnic cleansing and that liberal news sites have taken his words out of context and twisted their meaning.

May engage in or supervise planting, cultivating, harvesting, and financial and marketing activities.
Employment of farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers is projected to decline 6 percent from 2019 to 2029. Over the past several decades, increased efficiencies in crop production have led to consolidation and fewer, but larger, farms. This means that fewer farmers are needed to produce the same agricultural output. In addition, as farms become larger they are able to invest more in productivity-enhancing technologies, reinforcing this effect. Despite steady demand for agricultural products, many small farms operate with slim profit margins and are vulnerable to poor market conditions. As in the past, operators of smaller farms will likely continue to exit the business over the next decade.Read More

Social media may have a lot of ills that need to be addressed urgently, but few can fault it as a platform for enforcing social justice. TikTokers, in particular, use the platform to warn people about dangerous situations and people. One of the most recent people to “come out” on TikTok as dangerous is October Evans.
October, who legally changed her name to October Rain Evans, is also trending on Twitter due to her popularity on TikTok. This article will look at why some TikTokers claim that the October rain is dangerous and provide an overview of her life and career.
October has been accused of racism, bullying, and misappropriation of charity funds
TikToker Paris Glass (@glassmenagerie) recently posted a video on TikTok claiming to have a “very important message”. In the semi-coded video, Paris indicated in red that “OCTOBER EVANS IS D@NGEROUS”.
The viral video launched an internet search for the alleged October crimes. Paris shared another video showing social media accounts and nicknames for the month of October. They accused October of stalking, harassing, and claiming to be Aboriginal before reasserting that she was white. Paris ended the video with an ominous message: “Avoid this person at all costs. They are deranged and dangerous.”
|Barbi Benton Age,Wiki, Husband, Discography & Net Worth|
|Brooke Markham Wiki, Age, Height, Bio, Boyfriend, Net Worth & More|
Paris also alleged that October set up a fake charity to cheat people out of their money. A tweet from @hachxo in October 2019 adds weight to the claim:
“October Evans masquerades as a 501(c)3 organization to steal money through bona fide donations. She started doing this in the SW industry, and now she intends to assault transgender people. Make sure people know who she is.”
Emotional manipulation appears to be another tool in October’s arsenal. In early February 2020 on Facebook by Phoenix Found, October threatened suicide to get her way. One joint letter reads, “I will hang myself in front of Mrs. Salem’s house, and you won’t even know that it will happen.”
The publication claimed that October was looking for victims in transgender housing groups. The overall message in the post is that October Evans is dangerous. He Said:
|Haley Cavinder Height, Basketball, Twins, Age, TikTok, Wiki & More|
|Abby Hornacek Wiki, Age, Height, Biography, Boyfriend & More|
“I applied for our organization in 2019 and its listing was withdrawn after numerous reports of it sexually harassing other professionals. We do not tolerate this kind of behavior here and never will. Unfortunately, it appears that she has been using Facebook groups to find accommodation. We ask that you consider her a dangerous person and do not deal with her in any way.

I received a picture of a badge and printed it. I tried doing the chocolate transfer but it didn't cooperate this time. So I just traced the outline of the badge onto the cake. And basically free-handed it. It wasn't great.

XXXIV CEV General Assembly gets underway in Copenhagen
Copenhagen, Denmark, September 27, 2013 - CEV President André Meyer opened on Friday morning the annual CEV General Assembly by addressing a very emotional speech to the representatives of 53 national federations as well as to the many illustrious guests – including FIVB President Dr. Ary S. Graça F°, the Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, Frank Jensen, and the CEO of Sport Event Denmark, Lars Lundov – that were also in attendance.
The CEV President recalled that 2013 has been a very special year for volleyball in Europe: “The XXXIV CEV General Assembly taking place here in Copenhagen rounds out a very busy but memorable year for Europe’s volleyball family; as some of you may well remember, only some months ago we all got together in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to celebrate the 40th anniversary since the establishment of our Confederation as well as to officially unveil the state-of-the-art premises owned by CEV in Luxembourg City. At that time we were very honoured to host FIVB President Dr. Ary S. Graça F° who is in attendance also today to testify his closeness to our volleyball family and his appreciation for the work that is being done here in Europe for the good of volleyball and beach volleyball.”
Mr. Meyer was particularly happy to stress the sense of unity showed by the members: “Our volleyball family has been showing in recent times a sense of cohesion and unity that we can only be proud of. That is what I also feel today as I open our annual Congress with 53 out of 55 members in attendance with their delegates or being represented by proxy. The volleyball community that comes together today here in Denmark’s capital city is bound to work hard for the good of the sport and ready to take up the challenges that we may be confronted with along the way.”
The CEV President did also recall the goals of an innovative action that CEV did start some time ago. “Fair Play – Volleyball Way. This is the refrain of a special campaign we have established a few months ago and I hope you have already got familiar with. This is much more than a pure motto or a slogan; this is the quintessence of our sport and also of our interaction with all of you. As our players do show fair play and honesty out there as they play for glory, we have to emulate their spirit and do the same as we join our forces to work for the promotion and development of volleyball across Europe."
Though the last months have been extremely fruitful for volleyball in Europe, Mr. Meyer said the volleyball family is already looking forward to the next challenges: “We do not want to slow down our pace or rest on our laurels. Similarly to any other organization or institution, our confederation is ready to embark on innovative projects, take up the next challenges and explore new ways to make sure we continue setting the pace for volleyball and beach volleyball also on the international arena.
“To finish my opening address”, the CEV President said, “I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Danish Volleyball Federation and its President, Mr. Erik Jacobsen, as well as to the local authorities who have been working hard on their way to welcome Europe’s volleyball family to Denmark and more specifically to Copenhagen. We all know that this city and this country are well-known for their hospitality but also for their professionalism when it comes to the organization of international events and this Congress and EuroVolley do stand apart from anything we have experienced so far. I wish you all very fruitful working sessions hoping that in the end we will come together and agree upon key points to work on in order to continue pursuing our mission and let people feel and understand what volleyball is all about: team spirit, passion, and fair play.”
The welcome speech by Mr. Meyer was followed by a few words addressed to the delegates by FIVB President Dr. Ary Graça F°: “I am very glad to be here and honoured to be in the city of Copenhagen where my home town Rio de Janeiro got the right to stage the 2016 Olympics. I am here to listen to you, more than to speak, as you have a great know-how and expertise that we want to share with everyone who works for the good of volleyball all over the world.”
The President of the Danish Volleyball Federation Erik Jacobsen said: “It is a great pleasure to host you here. A small country like Denmark is able to host international events mainly thanks to the many volunteers that are always ready to help us. We have got some 400 who these days are involved in the EuroVolley as well as in helping stage this Congress. I wish you all a pleasant stay in Copenhagen; I also hope you will enjoy world class volleyball in Parken where the semis and finals of the European Championship will be played this weekend.”
Thomas Bach, Board member at the Danish Olympic Committee, also addressed the audience: “It is a special day because not every day a worldwide sport like volleyball is so heavily represented on Danish soil. We are proud that you have given Denmark the opportunity to host the General Assembly as well as the EuroVolley. We hope they both will be a success. I know the Danish Volleyball Federation has worked very hard to make this a success. In Denmark Volleyball is a small sport but we hope this will change in the future, as I feel the EuroVolley will inspire many kids to start playing volleyball, not only in the four host cities, but all over the country. Our national team did so by making the Playoffs. It was a fairy tale, a dream that came true and the big teams will now decide who will be the next European champions. I hope you all agree that Denmark now deserves a place on the map of your sport”.
“It is a great pleasure to welcome you and the city of Copenhagen is proud to host the EuroVolley as well as your General Assembly” said the Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, Frank Jensen. “We have staged many international sports events, and we love every single athlete and moment we have been able to share. We may not be the greatest volleyball nation in the world but we hope we will be the greatest host. Please take a little time to have a look around, so as to understand why Copenhagen was recently chosen as the most liveable city in the world. Enjoy the green and open atmosphere of this city. I wish you will enjoy fabulous volleyball and a successful Congress”.
To finish it off with the opening speeches, Lars Lundov, CEO of Sport Event Denmark, said: “Our aim is to attract and host major international sports events in Denmark. We have staged the World Congress in many sports in the past few years as well as the IOC Session in 2009. This year we are staging no less than nine European Championships. When we are hosting such events in Denmark, we always try to add something new like we are doing with the semis and finals of the EuroVolley with the unique set-up at Parken national stadium. It will be a great volleyball party for the athletes as well as for the fans. This will cement the position of Denmark as a serious sports host nation all over Europe and in the world as well for more than 160 countries will televise the final act the Championship”.

Dark Noon: The Final Voyage of the Fishing Boat Pelican
|Rating||:||4.60 (708 Votes)|
|Number of Pages||:||256 Pages|
The dock the arriving anglers swarmed over had been named, without a trace of self-consciousness, Fishangri-la, and the waiting fishing boat captains could see no obstacle to a record weekend. It’s also a journey back to the America of the early 1950s, when a laborer could buy a round-trip train ticket from Queens to Montauk and fish all day with Captain Eddie for $8.00. He didn’t know that an unpredicted storm would descend from a cloudless sky before the morning was over. In Dark Noon the end comes in a violent storm. In America, in 1951, it was easy to believe that anyone could make money and enjoy the good life, and no place suited that mood better than a fishing town. And it's a story of the end of an era, when one terrible disaster changed the fishing culture of a prosperous port forever. Dark Noon is a taut and suspenseful re-creation of a fateful day at sea. It is also a story of the postwar American dream as experienced in the fishing village of M

"Tragic and Harrowing" according to Allen F. Richardson.

In that vein, noted journalist and author Tom Clavin has written a book t. "A Bad Day at Sea" according to John Matlock. Going up in the air, or out to sea (or building your city below sea level like New Orleans) means that once in a while nature takes offense and smites these people with something nasty.

When it comes to purchasing a high-value luxury property or refinancing an existing one, jumbo loans are often the go-to option for many homebuyers. Jumbo loans, also known as non-conforming loans, are mortgages that exceed the loan limits set by government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Because of their larger loan amounts, jumbo loans typically come with higher interest rates compared to conventional mortgages. However, with some research and guidance, you can still find the best jumbo loan mortgage rates that suit your needs.
Understanding Jumbo Loans
Before delving into the best jumbo loan mortgage rates, it’s essential to understand the basics of jumbo loans. In the United States, the conforming loan limit is currently set at $548,250 for most areas. Any loan amount exceeding this limit is considered a jumbo loan. The exact threshold may vary depending on the location, as high-cost areas tend to have higher limits.
Jumbo loans are attractive to borrowers who need financing for high-priced properties that exceed the conforming loan limits. These properties often include luxury homes, vacation residences, and high-end condominiums. While jumbo loans provide access to substantial funds, they do come with certain requirements and considerations.
Factors Affecting Jumbo Loan Mortgage Rates
When searching for the best jumbo loan mortgage rates, it’s crucial to understand the factors that influence these rates. Here are some key elements that lenders consider when determining jumbo loan mortgage rates:
- Credit Score: Your credit score plays a significant role in determining the interest rate you will receive on a jumbo loan. Lenders typically offer lower rates to borrowers with excellent credit scores, as they are considered less risky.
- Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio: The LTV ratio is the loan amount divided by the property’s appraised value. A lower LTV ratio indicates a lower risk for the lender and can result in more favorable interest rates.
- Debt-to-Income (DTI) Ratio: Lenders also consider your DTI ratio, which is the percentage of your monthly income that goes towards debt payments. A lower DTI ratio demonstrates financial stability and can lead to better jumbo loan mortgage rates.
- Property Type and Location: The type and location of the property can influence the interest rates offered by lenders. Properties in desirable areas and with strong resale value may receive more favorable rates.
- Market Conditions: Like any other mortgage, jumbo loan mortgage rates are also influenced by market conditions, including the overall economy, inflation rates, and interest rate trends.
Researching for the Best Jumbo Loan Mortgage Rates
When embarking on your search for the best jumbo loan mortgage rates, it’s essential to conduct thorough research and explore multiple lenders. Here are some steps to help you in your quest:
1. Assess Your Financial Situation
Before applying for a jumbo loan, evaluate your financial position to determine how much you can afford to borrow. Consider your income, expenses, and savings to establish a realistic budget. This analysis will guide you in comparing jumbo loan mortgage rates and selecting the best option for your financial goals.
2. Check Your Credit Score
Obtain a copy of your credit report from major credit reporting agencies and review it for any errors or discrepancies. A higher credit score can help you secure better jumbo loan mortgage rates. If you find any inaccuracies, contact the credit bureaus to rectify the errors before applying for a loan.
3. Research Lenders and Loan Programs
Explore different lenders who offer jumbo loan options and compare their rates, terms, and fees. Consider both traditional banks and online lenders to ensure you have a comprehensive list of potential mortgage providers. Additionally, research the various jumbo loan programs available, such as fixed-rate mortgages, adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), and interest-only loans.
4. Obtain Multiple Loan Quotes
Request loan quotes from several lenders to compare the jumbo loan mortgage rates they offer. Make sure to provide accurate and consistent information to each lender to receive accurate quotes. Consider the interest rate, APR (Annual Percentage Rate), and any discount points associated with each loan offer.
5. Consider the Total Cost of the Loan
While jumbo loan mortgage rates are crucial, it’s equally important to consider the overall cost of the loan. Take into account factors such as closing costs, origination fees, and any prepayment penalties. Evaluating the total cost will give you a more comprehensive understanding of the financial implications of each loan option.
6. Review Customer Reviews and Testimonials
Research customer reviews and testimonials to gain insights into the experiences of other borrowers with the lenders you are considering. Look for feedback regarding customer service, ease of the application process, and overall satisfaction. This information can help you make an informed decision when choosing a lender.
The Best Jumbo Loan Mortgage Rates for 2022
While jumbo loan mortgage rates are subject to change due to market fluctuations, it can be helpful to explore the current trends and identify lenders offering competitive rates. Here are some lenders known for providing attractive jumbo loan mortgage rates:
1. Bank of America
Bank of America offers a variety of jumbo loan options with competitive interest rates. They provide personalized guidance throughout the mortgage process and have a strong online presence, making it convenient for borrowers to explore their options.
2. Quicken Loans

3. Wells Fargo

Chase is another major player in the mortgage industry that offers competitive jumbo loan mortgage rates. They have a strong online platform and a wide network of branches, providing borrowers with convenience and accessibility.
5. U.S. Bank
U.S. Bank offers jumbo loan mortgage rates with flexible terms and competitive rates. They have a range of jumbo loan options to suit different borrower needs and provide a user-friendly online application process.
Securing the best jumbo loan mortgage rates requires careful research, evaluation, and comparison of lenders and loan programs. Consider your financial situation, credit score, and personal preferences when exploring the options available. Remember to review customer reviews and testimonials to gauge the experiences of other borrowers.

Scientific Tracks Abstracts: J Nurs Care
Problem: It was identified that competency assessment required re-structuring to enhance a standardise approach to
competency assessment using the knowledge, skill and attitude (KSA) approach.
Background and aim: A new tool of competency assessment was implemented in a small hospital and this project was led by Nursing Services Department. It was the vision of Nursing Servicesto achieves national distinction as a magnet facility where nursing embraces an evidenced-based professional practice model that places patient and the families as the focus of quality care within the domains of clinical practice, administration, education, research, innovation and technology. The project was led by Nursing Education Department; Consisting of Nurse Educators & Clinical Resource Nurses. The competency assessment project was designed to reflect CBAHI & JCI standards, standardize the assessment approach by the assessor, as well as minimise the time taken for each assessment to be performed.
Methods: Competency assessment was divided into three particulars that were given individual attention to create templates that would support each area of assessment. A taskforce was created to support this project due to the scale of changes that were required to be made. The task force consisted of various disciplines within Nursing as well as staff from specialities of Adult, Paediatric, Critical and L&D. The initial phase of the project focused on assessment of nursing skills followed by clinical behaviour and then knowledge assessment. Generic Nursing practices, that required a standardise approach by the hospital, were identified and then by using Nursing Key Skills as a reference a template of clinical check list was created for each Nursing Practise. New templates were created for each practice such as airway management, physical assessment and IV Cannulation. In order to ensure the aim of the competency project would be met a questionnaire was created for feedback purposes. The questionnaire would be completed by the members of the education team.
Results: In total (13) members of the educational team completed the survey. 100% of the feedback agreed that time consumed for competency assessment become less than 45 minutes. 90% agreed they have more time to conduct other education activity in their clinical area. 70%-80% observed change in the staff skill and knowledge and about 80% noticed Improvement in patient care and safety too. Overall it was noted with the new competency framework the nursing staff across the hospital were observed to be more confident when performing competency at any given time.
Conclusion: The findings of this study highlighted hat the new competency framework model supported the clinical resource nurses to:
• Standardise generic nursing skills,
• Standardise competency performance by CRN’s and by staff
• Reduced the time taken for competency assessment
• Improved Nursing staff confidence during competency assessment
• Improved Nursing staff confidence during clinical practice

An elderly woman was duped out of more than $1000 in an elaborate Telstra scam, and was at risk of losing $3000 more.
But she was saved by staff members at a Coles supermarket and post office, who warned her the calls she was receiving were not legitimate.
The pensioner from Balgal Beach in Queensland received a call on July 11 from somebody pretending to be from Telstra, and told her she had to spend thousands of dollars on iTunes gift cards.
The 80-year-old was unaware it was a scam and her daughter-in-law Kathleen Church told the Townsville Bulletin the pensioner felt threatened.
“[The caller] kept saying they were very, very dangerous people. Don’t tell anyone about this call,” she told the publication.
The caller sent a taxi to the elderly woman’s house to take her to a Woolworths supermarket a 30-minute drive away in Deeragun, where she was pressured into spending $1000 on iTunes vouchers.
She read the numbers on the voucher to the scammers and the next day she was targeted yet again.
The Townsville Bulletin reports she was told to spend $2000 on vouchers at Rollingstone Post Office and $1000 at Coles in Deeragun.
It was there that staff members warned her it was a scam, saving her from being thousands of dollars out of pocket after already spending $1300 on the first vouchers and the taxi ride.
“Thankfully our staff at the Rollingstone Post Office recognised the offer as a scam and could assist our customer,” an Australia Post spokesperson told Yahoo7.
“Our staff receive regular training and updates on the importance of vigilance in relation to scams and ways to help customers if they have any concerns.”
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has warned people to be on the lookout for scammers conning victims into buying iTunes gift cards.
In 2017, more than 1200 people lost nearly $540,000 to these types of scams.
- Wild weather set to hit Australia’s east coast
- Outrage as fishermen pose with massive hammerhead shark
- How an aching back hid woman’s deadly disease
In the 2015-16 financial year, people reported a total loss of about $480,000 to iTunes gift card scams.
“Scammers are increasingly getting their victims to pay with iTunes gift cards as they can quickly on-sell them and pocket the money,” ACCC deputy chair Delia Rickard said in a statement.
“If someone asks you to pay for anything using an iTunes gift card, it’s a scam. There are never any circumstances where a legitimate business or government department will ask for payment this way.”
The ACCC said scammers pretending to be from Telstra asked victims to help them catch a ‘hacker’ trying to access their computer.
“They’ll use this scam story to get the victim to buy iTunes cards as a ‘trap’ for catching the hacker,” an ACCC statement said.
“Unfortunately the scammer will quickly get the serial numbers for those gift cards and sell them before the victim realises they’ve been duped.”
A Coles spokeswoman said the supermarket had seen an increase in gift card scams reported to Coles Customer Care. They included instances where customers were pressured into buying iTunes cards in bulk to pay fake debts or fines.
“We have introduced a notification at the checkout that activates after 10 gift card scans as a warning to customers’ bulk purchasing,” the spokeswoman said.
“Our team members have been trained to look for customers spending a significant amount of money on gift cards and if so to notify the store manager or ask the customer if they are aware of these scams.”
Queensland Police said they were not investigating the incident.

Flashes of standby light is fault indication. Count it and confirm the number of flashes occurs at one time switch ON. If you wish to get more details about these blinking codes to Toshiba sets, check this link. Pull up older posts there.
Solved by resoldering some solder joints!!!!!!!
Toshiba Model 57H81 Rear Projection TV - Purchased 11-09-2001
Problem: Toshiba 57H81 Flashing Red Power Light, No Picture/Sound, Blown Fuses F850 + F852
Symptoms January, 2009:
Upon turning on set I got flashing red power light and nothing else.
Removing plug for one minute and plugging in results in:
Audible click, steady red power light for 2 seconds then slow flashing red light
Pushing power button results in steady red for about 2 seconds then slow flashing red light, no other set activity
Removing power cord for several hours and plugging back in made no change
Audible click, steady red for about 2 seconds then slow flashing red light
Possible related note:Over past several months occasionally the entire screen would flicker momentarily and at other times be problem free for weeks.
Fuses F850 and F852 found blown
PD0074 DEF/CON Power Board
There are two main power supply capacitors in this set.They are C-809 and C-810.One their negative lead on the printed circuit board re-soldered leads and nearby contacts. I’m told that because the factory left out a printed circuit board eyelet, the connection will come loose over time.When I called Toshiba customer service they said there was a known solder joint problem causing blinking red light.
Replaced blown fuses F850 and F852.
I actually installed a fuse panel on the inside of the cabinet and routed the fuse connections here instead of ordering the special fuses and replacing them on the circuit board.
Had to use a 5 Amp SLO-BLOW for F850. Fast blow does not survive power up. Get the red blinking light.
Twelve hours of my time over three days to research issue, disassemble set, make repairs, add fuse panel.
Already owned Service Manual and Circuit diagrams from a different 2004 repair.
Less than ten dollars at Radio Shack for fuses and fuse panel. Already had wires, etc.
Some solder. Already owned de-soldering tools, etc.
Visited both local authorized Toshiba factory service repair facilities.One said repair would have to include replacing Q751 + Q752 STK392-110 Convergence Amps with ST392-180, and realigning set for a total of $500+ and it would be more if they had to order a power board. NO THANK YOU!Other shop said $65 for site visit and $30 to make an estimate that could be applied to repair.
I think you have a vertical problem. Turn up screen voltage to see if there is a tin horizontal line across screen. If so replace vertical output IC and the 100uf/35v capacitor in the vertical circuit.

|Horton Hears a Who!|
|Country of origin||United States of America|
|Release date||March 14, 2008|
Horton Hears a Who! is a 2008 American computer-animated adventure comedy film based on the Dr. Seuss' book of the same name. The film was directed by Jimmy Hayward and Steve Martino, and was produced by Blue Sky Studios. It features the voices of Jim Carrey and Steve Carell. Released on March 14, 2008 by 20th Century Fox, it received generally positive reviews, and grossed $297 million on a budget of $85 million.
The film is the third Dr. Seuss feature film adaptation, the second Dr. Seuss film starring Jim Carrey after How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and the first adaptation of a Dr. Seuss work fully animated using CGI technology.
On the 15th of May in the Jungle of Nool, a tiny dust speck is pushed off a flower. Meanwhile, a caring, imaginative elephant named Horton (Jim Carrey), the jungle's nature teacher, takes a dip in the pool. The dust speck floats past him in the air, and he hears a tiny yelp coming from it. Believing that an entire family of microscopic creatures are living on that speck, he places it atop a clover. Horton finds out the speck harbors the city of Whoville and its inhabitants, led by Mayor Ned McDodd (Steve Carell). He has a wife, Sally (Amy Poehler), 96 daughters (whose names all begin with the letter H), and one teenage son named JoJo (Jesse McCartney). Despite being the oldest and next in line for the mayoral position, JoJo doesn't want to be mayor, and because he's so scared of disappointing his father, he rarely ever speaks.
The Mayor finds out from Dr. LaRue (Isla Fisher) that Whoville will be destroyed if Horton does not find a "safer, more stable home." Horton resolves to place the speck atop Mt. Nool, the safest place in the jungle. The Sour Kangaroo (Carol Burnett), not believing Horton's beliefs, tries to get Horton to give up the speck, but Horton refuses. Also taking force toward Horton are the Wickersham Brothers, a group of bullying monkeys who love making misery. The Kangaroo eventually enlists a vulture named Vlad Vladikoff (Will Arnett) to get rid of the speck by force.
Vlad manages to steal the clover from Horton and drops it into a field of identical clovers. After picking nearly 3,000,000 clovers, Horton eventually recovers the clover. The Kangaroo finds out that Horton still has the speck, and decides to rally the jungle community into confronting Horton by telling lies that Horton's goal will lead to anarchy. The Kangaroo demands Horton to give up the speck. When Horton refuses, in spite of his heartfelt speech, she orders the animals to rope and cage him and to have Whoville destroyed by means of a pot of boiling beezelnut oil as punishment for "making up stories about people on specks". The Mayor enlists all of his people to make noise by shouting "We are here", as well as playing a variety of instruments, so the animals may hear them. Jane takes the clover and drops it into the boiling oil. At the last minute, JoJo grabs the horn used to project Horton's voice, runs up the highest tower, and yells "YOPP!", breaking through the sound barrier just before the speck hits the oil. Kangaroo's son, Rudy (Josh Flitter) grabs the clover and returns it to Horton, refusing his mother's orders to return to her pouch. The animals realize that Horton was right and, thinking that she was just trying to crush Horton's spirit and build her own reputation in the jungle, shun the Kangaroo for tricking them. While being praised for his integrity by his neighbors, Horton forgives the Kangaroo, and she accepts his friendship, finally believing that there are people on the speck. Here, the people of Whoville and the animals of Nool gather in song and recite the chorus from "Can't Fight This Feeling". The film ends with the narrator revealing that the Jungle of Nool, or rather Earth, is just one speck, among numerous others, floating in the universe.
In contrast to the mixed and/or negative reaction to the other big screen adaptations of Seuss's work, the film received generally positive reviews from film critics. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 79% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 131 reviews, classifying the film as "Certified Fresh". The consensus statement reads, "Horton Hears a Who!" is both whimsical and heartwarming, and is the rare Dr. Seuss adaptation that stays true to the spirit of the source material." Another review aggregator, Metacritic, calculated a score of 71 out of 100 based on 31 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews."
In contrast, Brian Eggert of Deep Focus gave it one and a half stars out of four, criticizing its numerous pop-culture references, calling it a "mish-mash of incoherent babble" and claiming it ends up "reducing Seuss' otherwise admirable message to ordinary storytelling, when Seuss' work is anything but."
Horton Hears a Who! was a box office success, grossing a total of $297,138,014 on a $85 million budget. $154,529,439 came from the United States and Canada, and $142,608,575 from other territories.
In its opening weekend, the film grossed $45,012,998 in 3,954 theaters, averaging $11,384 per theater in the United States and Canada, and ranking #1 at the box office. The film previously had the 4th largest opening weekend in March, behind Ice Age, Ice Age: The Meltdown and 300, and as of September 2012, it ranks on the 9th place. In the United States and Canada, Horton Hears a Who was also the #1 film its second weekend of release, grossing $24,590,596 over the Easter frame, in 3,961 theaters and averaging $6,208 per venue. It dropped to #2 in its third weekend grossing $17,740,106 in 3,826 theaters and averaging $4,637 per venue. Its fourth weekend ranked at #4 grossing $9,115,987 in 3,571 theaters and averaging $2,553 per venue. Its fifth weekend ranked at #6, grossing $5,920,566 in 3,209 theaters and averaging $1,845 per venue.

Matt MacLeod considered himself an outsider when he joined the Oregon football team as a walk-on in 1984, a kicker with a funny accent from Vancouver, B.C., who had no friends on the team and no guaranteed roster spot.
“People thought I was a punk rocker,” MacLeod recalled.
More than once, MacLeod considered quitting. But to his surprise, he discovered a kindred spirit in a young assistant coach from Texas.
Gary Campbell soon became a mentor and a friend, and convinced MacLeod to stay.
MacLeod wound up earning the starting job three years in a row, becoming the most accurate kicker in school history and getting drafted into the Canadian Football League.
None of it, he said, would have been possible without Campbell, the Oregon running backs coach who had such an influence on him that nearly three decades later MacLeod is trying to write a book about the man who has been on the sideline for more Ducks games than any other coach in school history.
“The reason I feel so passionate about this project is because I was an outcast on the team, and Gary was the only cat who could see the whole person inside you,” said MacLeod, now 46 and living back in Vancouver. “He just has an amazing belief in players … and I wasn’t even a running back.”
MacLeod arrived at Oregon just a year after Campbell, and the kicker was one of the first players with whom the assistant coach grew close. He certainly wouldn’t be the last.
There have been hundreds of UO players who have been influenced by Campbell in the past 28 years.
There’s one, in particular, with whom Campbell says he has a special connection.
A close relationship
Campbell, 59, is the longest-tenured coach in the Pac-10, and Mike Bellotti figures Campbell has to be the best-dressed coach in the country.
“We kid him that he’s probably got three garages for all his clothes,” said Bellotti, who coached alongside Campbell for 20 seasons. “He’s a sharp dresser, and a sharp guy.”
Campbell estimates that he owns 45 or 46 suits, and he takes pride in their originality: He searches for colorful suits and unique patterns — something people will notice.
That’s what LaMichael James said he noticed the first time he met his future position coach during the recruiting process a few years ago. Soon enough, James got to know the man behind the suit.
They’ve been the perfect fit ever since.
“We’re really close, not only on the field but off the field,” said James, Oregon’s sophomore star from Texarkana, Texas. “He’s always been there for me, throughout everything.”
These days, it’s not unusual to find James relaxing in Campbell’s office on the second floor of the Casanova Center. Memorabilia decorates the walls there, featuring pictures of past Oregon greats Jonathan Stewart, Reuben Droughns, Maurice Morris, Derek Loville, Saladin McCullough, Tony Cherry, Ricky Whittle — all Campbell pupils — to name a few.
Hanging on a bulletin board are more recent newspaper clippings of James, who is poised to sprint past all those others to the top of Oregon’s all-time rushing lists, perhaps in the very near future.
But the discussions that go on in that office between Campbell and James often don’t center around football. They’ve agreed not to talk about James’ candidacy for the Heisman Trophy, instead focusing on school work, or family or faith or whatever.
“If I’m having a bad day, he’s always there,” James said.
Campbell calls James “my homey,” because they’re both from Texas. Like James, Campbell too left home to play running back on the West Coast, for UCLA in the early 1970s.
They also share a strong bond over their Christian faith, and they wear it proudly. Campbell has a gold cross hanging from his neck; James sports a large tattoo of a cross and a Bible verse (Philippians 4:13) on his upper right arm.
“It’s hard to explain,” Campbell said. “I’ve been close to a lot of my players, but he’s probably the closest guy I’ve been to. It’s kind of like a father-son relationship, but it’s kind of like a brother or friend relationship as well. We talk to each other — a lot. And the great thing is we just feel comfortable sitting and talking. It doesn’t have to be anything to do with football. I just have a strong relationship with him.
“Like I said, it’s hard to explain because it’s so different than (with) any other player I’ve coached.”
James had a difficult upbringing. His father was shot and killed before James was born. And when he was a high school junior, the maternal grandmother who raised him died of cancer.
“He’s a guy that kind of took care of himself,” Campbell said. “Once his grandma passed … he grew up real fast.”
James remains close with his mother, Rosemary, and there’s no question that Campbell is a big part of his family now.
“That’s the kind of relationship we have,” James said. “The most important thing is that I trust him. I really don’t trust anybody. And I absolutely trust him. … He has a lot of respect for me, and I have a lot of respect for him. He never yells at me; he never uses profanity or any of that stuff. I really want to play for him. That is a big key.”
Campbell was asked what kind of influence he’s had on James.
“I hope I’ve had one that will help him understand what it takes to be a man of integrity,” Campbell said. “I think he is that kind of person. He’s respectful of authority, and sometimes guys who have had the kind of background in life that he’s had — he’s kind of had it tough — are a little bit rebellious at times, and he’s not that way at all.”
When James was homesick as a freshman two years ago, with his bags packed in the middle of the night, it was Campbell who calmed him down and persuaded him to stay.
And when James was arrested after an altercation with a former girlfriend in February, and later pleaded guilty to physical harassment, it was Campbell, as much as anyone, who helped him through his darkest moments.
“We spent a lot of time talking during those times,” Campbell said. “I explained to him that I understood how he felt, because I went a long way from home as a player and I really did understand. And to have someone to talk to about that helped him a lot. And it helped me to talk to him.”
A family atmosphere
Campbell and his wife, Alola, have four children. Two of their daughters, Phillis and Traci, graduated from Oregon; their youngest daughter, Janee, is an undergraduate student at the university now.
Their son, Bryan, was born with a neuromuscular condition called Werdnig-Hoffman syndrome, which requires around-the-clock nursing care. He is bound to a wheelchair and breathes through a respirator.
“My son is doing well — not any better but not any worse,” Campbell said. “They said he was only going to live a year and he’s here 26 years later, so I’m blessed for that.”
Being able to raise his family in the same place, in a small community like Eugene, is a big reason Campbell has been here so long.
“I didn’t have to move my family around a lot like a lot of coaches have had to do,” he said. “So that’s the thing I’m most proud of. Because the coaching profession is so demanding and you become such a nomad, I’ve been blessed that I didn’t have to go through that and my family didn’t have to go through that.”
The family atmosphere of the Oregon staff has made it easier for him to show up to the office at 6:30 a.m. most days, another 15-hour work day ahead.
It’s a close-knit staff, Bellotti said. In addition to Campbell, several others date back to the Rich Brooks era: strength coach Jim Radcliffe has been at Oregon for 26 years; offensive line coach Steve Greatwood has totaled 25 years over two stints; linebackers coach Don Pellum has been at the school for 23 years; and defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti for 20, spanning three separate stints.
“I think we’re a little bit different breed,” said Bellotti, whose annual golf tournament raises money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, which has helped provide equipment for Bryan Campbell’s care, and many others’.
Second-year head coach Chip Kelly noticed that closeness right away when he joined the staff in 2007. He said Campbell’s long tenure “is amazing,” and called him “the best running backs coach in the country.”
“I think Gary has just done a fantastic job of being a role model and a mentor to the young men he’s coached, particularly the African-American young men who have come into this program,” Greatwood said. “Gary and his wife, Alola, have opened their home and been sort of a sanctuary for them.”
Loville recalled spending many Sundays at the Campbells’ home, hanging out and watching football.
“A lot of us would congregate there,” said Loville, who 21 years after leaving Oregon is still the career rushing leader. “And that was a big deal, because a lot of us were thousands of miles away from home.”
In 2004, the NCAA ruled that Campbell had been involved in “unethical” conduct during his recruitment of running back J.J. Arrington a year earlier.
Oregon was placed on probation for two years for what the NCAA termed a “major” violation — the school’s first since 1981.
The university suspended Campbell for a week and limited his recruiting for a year.
When brought up recently, the topic clearly still upset Campbell.
“Well,” he said after a long pause, “that was a big misunderstanding.”
According to the NCAA report of the incident, Campbell met with Arrington and his parents at their home on the night of Jan. 15, 2003, the final day of a signing period for junior-college transfers such as Arrington. The running back had made a verbal commitment to California, but Campbell made a final pitch for him to come to Oregon.
Arrington, according to the report, wavered on his decision, going back and forth between Oregon and Cal. After leaving the family’s home, Campbell called Arrington several times late that night. They eventually they met up — after midnight — in a hotel lobby.
It was there that Arrington signed a letter of intent with Oregon — after the deadline — and forged his father’s signature. The NCAA report said Campbell “instructed” Arrington to do so.
Campbell didn’t talk publicly about the incident then and, nearly seven years later, he still didn’t want to get into much detail.
“He wanted to do something different and I tried to explain to him that I couldn’t have anything to do with what he was doing,” said Campbell, who remained close with Arrington after the incident. “… It was an unfortunate situation that I really regret.”
“I think it was a mistake,” said Bellotti, the head coach at the time. “It may be the only time in his career he panicked, to a degree. … But I think overall, we took our medicine and Gary moved on.”
After the ruling was handed down, Campbell considered retiring.
“I mentioned that I thought about retiring because I don’t think everybody else understood what really happened, and I never really told anybody what really happened,” he said. “But it’s one of those things where you know you were trying to do the right thing and everybody thinks, ‘Wow, you’re a villain.’ And I had never had any blemishes on my recruiting career at all, and that one thing, it had a big effect on me.
“There was public ridicule and I just kind of took the fall for it.”
He didn’t stay down for long.
A positive influence
The recruiting successes of the past five years have been unprecedented at Oregon, particularly at running back. It’s been one record-breaking back after another, starting with Stewart, who in 2006 helped Oregon lead the conference in team rushing for the first time since 1955.
The Ducks have led the Pac-10 in rushing every year since — and with 293 yards per game this season, they’re on pace to break the school rushing record for the third time in four years — with the likes of Jeremiah Johnson, LeGarrette Blount and James each rushing for 1,000 yards (and James doing it in consecutive years now.)
Earlier this year, the recruiting service Rivals.com named Campbell one of the 10 best recruiters in the Pac-10.
That was after Campbell helped sign a five-star back from Texas, Lache Seastrunk, who is redshirting this season along with Dontae Williams, yet another talented back from Texas.
“Our young players really gravitate to him,” Kelly said.
And not only is he getting top talent to come to Oregon, he’s getting them to produce once they get there. Of Oregon’s 15 single-season 1,000-yard performances, all but two occurred under Campbell’s watch. Ten of those 1,000-yard seasons have occurred since 2000.
Similarly, eight of Oregon’s top 10 all-time rushers were coached by Campbell.
“Just look at what he produces, and all different heights, weights, sizes, everything — he just continues to churn out great running backs,” Kelly said.
Seven of his former running backs have been drafted into the NFL, and Loville said Campbell does more than most to prepare his players for the next level. A nine-year NFL veteran, Loville said he was surprised at how many young backs didn’t know how to read defenses in the league. He learned it early on from Campbell.
“He’s a great teacher,” Loville said.
Loville watches the No. 1-ranked Ducks closely these days, and he sends congratulatory text-messages to Campbell after each game. That, more than any statistic, is what makes Campbell most proud — the bonds he’s formed and the relationships he’s maintained with players even after they leave football.
“I hear from all of my ex-players frequently, which makes me feel as good as anything else because I know that I’ve been on influence on them, and that I’ve made an impression on them that they want to be lasting,” he said. “That’s important.”
Clearly, it’s been important to the punk-rock kicker, too. And to the team’s Heisman hopeful now.
Said James: “I’d do anything for coach Campbell.”


Longest solid tubular expansion
Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij BV (NAM) and Enventure Global Technology installed a 6,095-ft, 6-in. corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) solid expandable tubular (SET) liner in a producing well located in the Groningen field, The Netherlands. This cased-hole liner (CHL) system was installed inside the 7 5/8-in. base casing to improve the productivity of the Eemskanaal-2 well, thus proving a novel retrofit design for "low-pressure" gas wells and setting world records as the longest SET in a single run and the first commercial applications of expandable Cr13 tubulars and Vallourec Mannesmann (VAM) proprietary expandable gas-tight connections (VAM ET-NA 4).
The multiple-record installation came quickly after the July proof-of-concept downhole expansion of Cr13 tubulars and gas-tight connections in NAM's Wanneperveen-2 well. Both CRA SET installations were the result of a cooperative effort among Shell E&P, NAM, VAM, and Enven-ture.
The CRA CHL System installed in the Eemskanaal-2 well was expanded in 7 5/8 in., 39 ppf, 33.7 ppf, and 29.7 ppf casing, with elastomer seals in each section. Combined mechanical and hydraulic forces used to expand the chrome pipe by 9.8% averaged 92,000 lb. Post-expansion inside diameter (ID) of the 6-in. 18.6 ppf CRA liner was 5.92 in., compared to a pre-expansion diameter of 5.39 in., while post-expansion burst and collapse were estimated at 7,000 psi and 4,000 psi, respectively. Overall liner length was reduced from 6,095 ft to 5,869 ft as a natural result of the expansion process.
As of October, 91 installations have been performed with expansion of more than 88,000 ft of pipe and more than 2,300 connections for 35 operators globally.
Drilling system surpasses milestone
The AutoTrak system from Baker Hughes Inteq has reached a significant milestone. The rotary closed loop drilling system (RCLS) has drilled a cumulative distance exceeding 1,000 mi since its introduction in 1997.
The system is a step improvement in drilling efficiency and is capable of delivering exceptional hole quality. The system enables operators to drill designer 3D profiles and extended-reach wells that would not be feasible without high-precision closed-loop steering. Using fully integrated, wireline-quality logging-while-drilling sensors, the RCLS places wellbores in the optimum position within the reservoir for improved production and extended well life. Compared to conventional drilling systems and methods, it is estimated to have saved operators $500 million in overall wellbore construction costs since its commercial introduction.
Baker Hughes Inteq and Eni-Agip SpA developed the AutoTrak system.
Recently, a third-generation AutoTrak G3 system was introduced in the Norwegian and UK sectors of the North Sea. The G3 system is a fully modular, automated, bottom hole assembly consisting of a steering unit, formation evaluation sub, and a two-way communications module.
A newly developed well visualization software program interfaces with existing IT programs to produce custom reports and well diagrams of a broad range of wells.
Corporate IT infrastructure often isn't compatible with well diagram drawing or reporting software. Producing well diagrams with corporate IT software may require the use of a variety of unrelated software programs and re-creation of drawings and spreadsheets.
StringView Millennium software developers kit by AnTech Oilfield Software of Exeter, England, uses existing data – engineering drawings, databases, or spreadsheets – to create well diagrams and reports. The software assists in creating professional, customized string diagrams of multi-lateral, vertical, deviated, and horizontal wells, as well as single and dual completions and multiple strings. Diagrams can be created using the icons provided by the software or a combination of existing company data and imagery. The primary benefits are:
- It embeds seamlessly into the user's existing IT applications
- It interfaces with the user's existing IT infrastructure, making it possible to manipulate existing digital data and resources to produce well diagrams
- The quality of the visual presentation is unrivalled because of the vector-based graphics that do not degrade when stretched or curved.
The software can bring well diagrams directly to the user's applications from an existing database. Users can construct a well diagram using a spreadsheet, picking well components with the user's data attached, with the resulting well diagram appearing on the spreadsheet. Alternatively, data can be extracted directly from an existing database and combined with the component library to produce a well diagram, complete with logos and data tables reflecting the user's designated company product.
Portable, precise monitoring
New technology from Shell Global Solutions Improvements can precisely monitor solids during offshore operations by using direct, on-line filtration techniques, the company says. The units provide a well flowline monitoring program that uses non-intrusive, cost-effective techniques to sample fluids and filter solids as small as 10 microns. The units can determine the type and content of suspended solids, including sand, proppant, corrosion/erosion products, and organic deposits, to minimize expensive downtime.
Known as SandBox, the unit is available in both portable skids and the suitcase-sized model. These devices were developed specifically for offshore applications and can be transported via helicopter. SandBox detects the physical presence of solids in flowing wells via filtration at process conditions, whether they are small or large. Conventional methods are usually limited to detecting particles that are 50 microns or larger. Other systems are designed to alert for changes in solids production and may mistake a gas slug with sand if not properly calibrated. In addition, there is typically a minimum concentration of solids beyond which these detectors are ineffective.
Technology applications include the monitoring of:
- Sand for type, size, and content
- Wells for safe operation
- Location, source, characteristics, and visual identification of solids
- Flowlines to assist well ramping
- Erosion and corrosion to reduce expensive, unscheduled downtime.

1 large onion or 2 medium shallots, peeled and finely sliced (optional)
1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional)
375g ready-to-roll shortcrust pastry
2 large eggs
200g extra-mature Cheddar, grated
Salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas Mark 4.
For the onions (optional)
Add the butter to a frying pan over a low-medium heat. Add the onion slices and a pinch of salt and fry gently for about 10-15 minutes, until softened and just starting to caramelise. Keep the heat low so they don't burn, stirring regularly.
For the flan
While the onions are cooking, line the base and sides of a pie/tart tin with shortcrust pastry. Prick the bottom, cover with parchment and add dried beans/baking beans/baking weights and blind bake for 10 minutes until it is light golden. Remove from the oven and pace to one side.
Whisk together the eggs and milk in a large bowl or jug. Stir in the grated cheese and season with salt and pepper.
Spoon the onions onto the flan base (if using), spreading them out so they form a thin layer. Pour the cheese and egg mixture over the top.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and just set.
Serve warm, with a crisp green salad (or tinned tomatoes if you really want that classic school dinners vibe!).
23cm-round pie dish or flan tin
Baking beans/weights (optional)
Hands up if you remember this school dinner favourite! Cheese flan, or cheese pie as is it often known, is a classic school dinner dish made with just a handful of ingredients (perfect for feeding a horde of hungry kids on a budget!). It was often served with tinned tomatoes or a tomato sauce.
- Crisp up some bacon lardons and fold into the filling before cooking
- Wilt some spinach in a pan and fold into the filling alongside some sautéed red peppers
- Heat frozen peas in microwave then fold in before cooking
- Slice cherry tomatoes and cook them inside the flan for little bursts of flavour
- Top with some fresh rocket for a fresh peppery taste
- Sauté mushrooms then fold through before cooking for a hearty version
Super easy & just like the 70’s school dinners. Yummy

Fla. gov. taps former legislator as running mate
MIAMI - Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday tapped a former legislator and Miami-Dade politician as lieutenant governor and his running mate for 2014.
Ending a guessing game that stretched on for nearly 10 months, Scott named Miami-Dade Property Appraiser Carlos Lopez-Cantera to the post. He starts the job Feb. 3.
Scott defended the time it took to finally settle on a lieutenant governor, saying that "what I was worked on was trying to build a team."
"I took the right amount of time to find the right person," Scott said.
Lopez-Cantera, a Miami Republican and an ally of U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, called the appointment an "honor."
"It's just an opportunity that could not be ignored or denied because I'll be representing the entire state," Lopez-Cantera told The Associated Press.
Lopez-Cantera, 40, served eight years in the Florida Legislature, rising to the position of House Majority Leader from 2010 to 2012. He was elected property appraiser in 2012.
Former Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll abruptly resigned in March 2012 after she was interviewed by law-enforcement authorities about work she once did for a charity that prosecutors have said was a front for a widespread gambling ring. She has not been accused of any wrongdoing and later said she was forced to resign by the Scott administration.
Scott is filling the spot of lieutenant governor a week after he was sued by a Tallahassee lobbyist and political activist for leaving the position vacant since March. Barbara DeVane, who filed the suit with the Florida Supreme Court, contended Scott was breaking a state law that requires him to appoint a lieutenant governor.
Scott's decision to turn to Lopez-Cantera gives his re-election campaign for 2014 an up-and-coming young Hispanic politician as a running mate who can potentially help the governor in Miami-Dade County. Scott has taken positions putting him at odds with some Hispanics, including a decision last year to veto bill that would have allowed some young immigrants living in the U.S. illegally to apply for a temporary driver's license. The bill was passed overwhelmingly by the Republican-controlled Legislature.
Lopez-Cantera was born in Madrid, Spain, and raised in Miami. Lopez-Cantera, a real estate agent before his election as property appraiser, worked on property tax issues while in the Legislature.
He said that the Scott administration first reached out to him about the position in mid-December and that both he and his wife met recently with Scott and First Lady Ann Scott to discuss joining the governor in Tallahassee.
During his time in the Legislature, Lopez-Cantera did disagree with Scott. When Scott criticized the level of education funding in the state budget in 2011, Lopez-Cantera called the governor's comments a "mischaracterization." He pointed out that legislators set aside more money for schools than Scott himself had recommended.
But Lopez-Cantera downplayed any past disagreements with Scott and said he shares the governor's position on items such as tax cuts and education.
"No two people are going to be exactly the same on everything," Lopez-Cantera said. "We have the same vision in terms of where this state needs to go."
Scott credited what he called Lopez-Cantera's experience in cutting taxes and government regulations as some of the reasons he chose him.
"He gets things done," Scott said. "People like working with him."
In a statement, Rubio praised the selection of Lopez-Cantera.
"Carlos is a great friend and a phenomenal choice to be Florida's lieutenant governor," Rubio said. "I've known Carlos for three decades and have cherished his friendship and wise counsel. ... Rick Scott has made a great decision for Florida and is lucky to have Carlos on his team."
Florida Democrats, eager to retake the governor's mansion, didn't wait for the official announcement to criticize the selection. Allison Tant, the chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, put out a statement late Monday calling Lopez-Cantera a "poster child for what is wrong with Tallahassee today."
Tant called him an "ultra-partisan career politician who spent his time in Tallahassee putting big corporations and wealthy special interests ahead of middle class families." She his selection was more about "scoring political points."

Mario Gotze has been repeatedly linked with a move to Liverpool, but we’re apparently looking to steal him away by matching their £31m bid, according to German publication TZ (via The Independent).
The 23-year-old has been billed as one of the most promising young attacking midfielders ever since he broke onto the scene with Borussia Dortmund, but he’s struggled to make the impact many thought he would since his move to Bayern Munich.
Gotze got the game winning goal in the 2014 World Cup final, and it seemed as though he might overcome his issues at Bayern. He’s been a bit-part player under current boss Pep Guardiola though, and the report suggests that when Carlo Ancelotti takes over this summer the playmaker will be nothing more than a spare part.
The fact that he has history with current Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp could obviously sway him into choosing an Anfield switch, but if he wants to continue playing in the Champions League then he has to choose Arsenal.
While Gotze is a supremely talented individual, you’d argue that he isn’t what we really need. He’s a typical Arsenal player, small, technically gifted, but arguably lacking the physical attributes required to thrive in the Premier League.
Arsenal fans would be furious if Arsene Wenger splashed the cash on another attacking midfielder when what we really need is a striker, a centre-back, and probably a central midfielder.
- Wolves star slams Arsenal players – “It was like they won the league”
- [Team news] Wolves vs Arsenal predicted line up: Key stars return
- RB Leipzig insist top Arsenal summer target WON’T be sold
Wenger never signs a player for the sake of it, as we saw when he turned down the chance to re-sign Cesc Fabregas due to the presence of Mesut Özil – instead allowing the Spaniard to join Chelsea.
Arsenal transfer news
That said though, when a quality player becomes available you often need to snap at the chance to sign them, as those opportunities don’t come along all that often. We’ve needed a player like Luis Suarez, Karim Benzema, or Robert Lewandowski for years, but they’ve seemingly never been available. It appears as though Gotze will be on sale this summer, and even if he’s not exactly what we need he would definitely add something to our side.

Acrobatic flip is one of the most challenging representatives of aggressive maneuvers to test the performance of an aerial system’s capability or a controller. A variable-pitch rotor quadcopter generates thrust in both vertical directions for the special design of the rotor’s actuation mechanism. This research proposes two possible solutions for the flip: a regulation solution based on the geometric control approach; and tracking a predefined optimal smooth trajectory covering a turnover. The first solution uses a geometric control approach that is immune to singular points since the rotation matrix is integrated on the manifold on SO(3). The second solution proposes an optimal trajectory generation for flip maneuver using open-loop optimal control, two-point boundary value problem (TPBVP) approach. Since generated open-loop state information is not applicable without a controller, the state-dependent differential Riccati equation (SDDRE) is chosen for trajectory tracking.

The results of a new study have been released detailing an overview of the LGBT community in the United States, which is now estimated to be approximately 4.5% of the adult population.
According to the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, the study showed that of the 11.3 million people who identify as LGBT, the majority of LGBT people (58%) are female and 29% of LGBT people over the age of 25 are raising children.
Looking at the results regionally, the study showed that Washington D.C. has the highest percentage of LGBT people with nearly 10% of the population identifying as LGBT, while North Dakota has the lowest percentage, sitting at 2.7%
Researchers who analysed data from the Gallup Daily Tracking Survey in order to create the detailed look at the LGBT community in the USA also found that the community is both racially and ethnically diverse, with 58% being White, 21% Latino, 12% Black, 2% Asian, and a further 1% being American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or other Pacific Islander.
Other key stats include:
• 56% or LGBT adults are under the age of 35, compared to 28% of non-LGBT adults.
• 1 in 4 LGBT adults (23%) are age 50 or older, compared to nearly half (47%) of non-LGBT adults.
• Washington State has the highest percentage of LGBT women (63%), while Washington D.C. has the highest percentage of LGBT men (65%).
Researchers summarised the finding by saying “These findings remind us that LGBT people are young and old, people of colour and white, they are parents, and they live in every state of the union.”
