| Taking full advantage of the September roster expansion, the Chicago Cubs called up 22-year-old infielder Javier Baez to help fortify the team’s middle-infield situation. This isn’t Baez’s first taste of the big leagues. In fact, he doesn’t even qualify as a rookie anymore. As you probably recall, he spent the final two months of 2014 season in the majors, where he turned in a historically bad performance as the team’s second baseman.
Just how bad was it? Baez hit a pitcher-esque .169/.227/.324 in 52 games with the Cubs last year. His on-base percentage was the lowest of any hitter who recorded at least 200 plate appearances. Most alarming of all was his 42% strikeout rate, which made him the only player in the game’s history to have a strikeout rate above 40% in more than 200 plate appearances.
After his strikeout woes continued into this year’s spring training, the Cubs had Baez open the year in Triple-A, and kept him there until last week. Baez hit pretty well following his demotion. In 70 games, he hit .324/.385/.527 — which was good enough for a 144 wRC+. That’s markedly better than his 108 wRC+ at the same level last year.
The improvement had much to do with Baez’s strikeout rate, which dropped from 30% to 24%, but the improvements didn’t stop there. Here’s a comparison between Baez’s 2014 and 2015 seasons, using stats that have been regressed for sample size and centered to league average.
Outside of the power department, Baez has improved in nearly every aspect of his game. His strikeout rate is the most notable improvement, but he also managed to hit for a higher BABIP and stole bases more frequently. At the same time, though, he’s also a year older than last season, so some amount of improvement was anticipated. The expectations for a 22-year-old are naturally higher than they are for a 21-year-old.
Still, even with his being a year older, KATOH prefers this year’s version of Baez to the Baez from last August — the time of his first call-up. Baez’s 2015 numbers earned him a forecast of 11.4 WAR through age 28, up from last year’s mark of 7.6.
One could also observe Baez’s improvement by comparing his Mahalanobis comps between this year and last. Last year’s list reads like a who’s who of failed swing-for-the-fences prospects, and Baez followed a similar trajectory in his rookie campaign. Baez was essentially a Brandon Wood reincarnate in his first go-around in Chicago.
Javier Baez’s Comps Using 2014 Triple-A Stats Rank Mah Dist Name PA thru 28 WAR thru 28 1 0.57 Chad Hermansen 541 0.0 2 1.14 Todd Dunwoody 986 0.0 3 1.53 Dee Brown 871 0.0 4 1.84 Michael Coleman 70 0.0 5 2.10 Brandon Wood 751 0.0 6 2.53 Jared Hoying * 0 0.0 7 2.85 Jamie Ogden 0 0.0 8 2.87 Jonny Gomes 1,784 2.7 9 3.07 Cody Ransom 117 0.0 10 3.10 Brad Nelson 31 0.0 *Hitters who have not yet played their age-28 seasons Note: Middle Infielders are colored yellow
But this year’s list of comps features many more successful players, from Starling Marte to Ray Durham to Curtis Granderson . Like Baez, most of these hitters didn’t make a ton of contact, but also didn’t strike out alarmingly often. They relied on a combination of modest power and speed to put together very good offensive careers.
Javier Baez’s Comps Using 2015 Triple-A Stats Rank Mah Dist Name PA thru 28 WAR thru 28 1 1.28 Peter Bourjos * 1,640 10.6 2 1.38 Starling Marte * 1,801 12.8 3 1.45 Lee Tinsley 979 1.4 4 1.52 Roberto Mejia 450 0.0 5 1.73 Jimmy Paredes * 818 0.0 6 1.75 Ray Durham 3,993 8.0 7 1.88 Gerald Williams 397 2.6 8 2.03 Mark Little 105 0.7 9 2.07 Curtis Granderson 2,896 20.1 10 2.19 Al Martin 2,034 5.6 *Hitters who have not yet played their age-28 seasons Note: Middle Infielders are colored yellow
As Kiley McDaniel noted in last week’s chat , the Cubs summoned Baez to the big leagues somewhat prematurely on purpose to give him a sense of what he needed to work on. Their hope was that he’d take notice of the holes in his swing, and refine his approach to patch them up. Based on his minor-league numbers, it seems he’s made some progress in this regard. His strikeout rate is still higher than you’d like to see, but it’s trending in the right direction. Even more encouragingly, he’s made these improvements without giving up much of the power output that’s made scouts drool over him since he was in high school. Perhaps that means he’ll do a little less of what’s depicted in the first 10 clips in the following GIF, which Owen Watson crafted using video form Baez’s rookie campaign.
Baez appears to be a much better player than he was this time last year, but he’s still very much a work in progress. Although he hacked six percentage points off of his Triple-A strikeout rate between this year and last, he still whiffed 24% of the time in the minors this year, and is projected for something like a 30% strikeout rate in the big leagues. To make matters worse, he accumulates many of those strikeouts by swinging through pitches in the strike zone — a trait that’s common among hitters who have trouble transitioning to the big leagues.
But there’s still plenty to like about Baez’s game. His power is obviously pretty special, he runs well, and is capable of playing the middle of the infield. And perhaps most importantly, he still has age on his side. Although it feels like Baez is teetering on the rim of the failed prospect bin, he’s still just 22. He’s still three months younger than Maikel Franco , and more than a year younger than both Stephen Piscotty and Enrique Hernandez .
Baez very well may go the route of Brandon Wood or Roberto Mejia . That’s certainly not a rare trajectory for players who have the type of swing-and-miss that Baez does. But it’s much too soon to write him off completely, especially given the improvements he made in his second tour of duty at Triple-A. As was the case a year ago, he’s still very much a boom-or-bust prospect, but the likelihood the Cubs will get to enjoy the boom appear to be growing. | SPORTS |

| You might have noticed from the lack of activity that The FontFeed has stopped publishing. I have moved over to join my writing partners on FontShop News, where we hope to achieve the ideals originally set out for The FontFeed.
Parting with The FontFeed is bittersweet. After I took over as editor-in-chief from my partner-in-font-geekery Stephen Coles exactly seven years ago , I had just begun to find my voice through my Bald Condensed typeface reviews on Typographer.org , occasional contributions to Typographica , and my first two years editing Unzipped, my blog on the old FontShop BeNeLux website. The FontFeed allowed me to develop as a writer and editor on typography and design, and indirectly gave me the opportunity to become a public speaker (personally I don’t really like that term). What I appreciated most was the level of independence FontShop trusted me with. Their financing the blog came with barely any strings attached. Basically I was allowed to write about any type- or design-related topic I felt was relevant to our audience, even if it turned out to be a quite controversial one. This was a decisive factor that helped The FontFeed grow and prosper, and eventually become a household name in the typography world, a name I am extremely proud to be associated with. For this I will remain forever grateful to FontShop and everyone involved behind the scenes. My thanks also go out to my co-editors and the people who contributed to The FontFeed with guest posts.
Yet somehow the blog as a concept never really achieved the ideals it initially set forth. Instead of becoming a collaborative endeavour, it turned into my personal playground – which frankly I didn’t really mind, as I ahd so much fun. The other voices from FontShop had to be found in different locations, be it on the FontShop Blog, Jürgen Siebert’s popular Fontblog, or FontShop Germany’s blog. Ironically, while FontShop stands for finding all the fonts you need in one single curated library, our communication was scattered. This led to the decision for starting a new information channel on the redesigned FontShop website – FontShop News . This is where you can find me now, collaborating with some of the most interesting writers in the field of typography. If you like what you’re reading, subscribe to our RSS to not miss out – it is available in English and German *.
And what about The FontFeed? It will live on for a while until we find a good solution for its contents. Even though many posts were time-sensitive, there is a large amount of articles that we feel remain relevant and are worth discovering or revisiting. So thank you all so much for reading The FontFeed, thank you for the insightful exchanges and spirited discussions in the comments, thank you for walking up to me at conferences and letting me know you enjoyed the blog. But now it’s time to move on. See you all over at FontShop News!
This was Yves Peters, signing off.
(*) Although we try to provide as many articles as possible in German, some are only available in English. They can however be found on the German side; no need to switch.

| Dakar Contenders Say Mexican Event Is Key To Training
September 1, San Rafael, CA
America’s premier motorcycle rally team, Rally Pan Am, is gearing up for the most grueling race on earth–the Dakar Rally. The Dakar Rally crosses South America covering 5000 miles in 14 days. The team has spent more than two years preparing and will hone it’s skills at the 3rd running of the Baja Rally in Baja California, Mexico.
Team rider, Scott Bright, is the defending Baja Rally champion, having won the 2014 event, besting the efforts of Baja champions Steve Hengeveld and Andy Grider. Bright recently competed against Europe’s best at the Sardinia Rally.
“The Baja Rally is a key race on our schedule” says Team Manager, Dave Peckham. “The Baja Rally is a great event, it’s right in our back yard, and our last chance to race before shipping our Dakar bikes and truck to Europe.”
Joining Bright is teammate Ian Blythe, who will fly from Brazil for this critical practice opportunity. Blythe is currently leading the Brazil Championship series. In his last rally, the Australasian Safari, Blythe placed 3rd behind two seasoned Dakar veterans.
“The team and I are proud to support Rally Pan Am’s Dakar bid and It’s great to see world-class racers like Ian and Scott choosing the Baja Rally as training for the worlds biggest event” says rally founder, Scotty Breauxman. “The Baja Rally is a cultural and scenic human adventure to test the mind, body and spirit. This year will be no exception.”
Rally Pan Am is sponsored by ICO Racing, Motion Pro, Baja Designs, Craftsman, Klim, MX1WEST, F2R, Gatos Bros, Konflict Motorsports, and DT1 Filters. The team is actively seeking additional sponsors.

| On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Richard Berman overturned New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady ‘s four-game suspension, which was originally imposed as punishment by the NFL for his alleged participation in the #deflategate scandal.
Despite NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell ‘s rejection of Brady’s appeal to overturn the suspension back in July, a move that “disappointed” the quarterback, Judge Berman apparently intervened in the matter.
The Associated Press broke the news on Twitter late Thursday morning:
BREAKING: Tom Brady beats NFL in ‘Deflategate’ court case, judge nullifies league’s 4-game suspension.
— The Associated Press (@AP) September 3, 2015
Whether or not you’re a Pats fan, it’s probably best that you follow Boston journalist David S. Bernstein ‘s advice in regards to “obnoxious” football fans and social media today:
Those who find Patriots fans insufferably obnoxious should probably leave twitter for a while.
— David S. Bernstein (@dbernstein) September 3, 2015
Good luck out there, Internet.
UPDATE–10:45 a.m. EST: The AP published a more complete article on the matter, detailing Judge Berman’s ruling that nullified the NFL’s decision to suspend Brady for four games.
Brady “had no notice that his discipline would be the equivalent of the discipline imposed upon a player who used performance enhancing drugs,” said the judge.
Berman argued that the suspension was “premised upon several significant legal deficiencies,” including the notion that Brady couldn’t have possibly known that he might be suspended for four games just for allegedly being aware of any ball deflation practices.
The legal teams for both sides did not respond to the AP’s request for comment. Such should prove interesting, however, as Berman’s decision comes as “a surprise to some legal experts.” Either way, Brady is now free to prepare for the first regular season game on Sept. 10.

| Following the controversial coup that happened in Burkina Faso, soldiers have seized control of a military camp held by Presidential Security Regiment (RSP) officers, who refused to disarm.
The soldiers entered the presidential guard palace barracks with little resistance, an army officer told Reuters.
Troops were carrying out clean-up operations at the camp, searching for General Gilbert Diendere, who led the short-lived coup. However, he appeared not to be at the camp.
Gunfire was heard earlier in the evening near the presidential palaces and the RSP barracks. A military spokesman confirmed that the army opened fire on the coup supporters, though no injuries have been reported.
The takeover of the barracks came just hours after the army announced that it was giving the former presidential guard a “last chance” to “avoid a confrontation”, military spokesman Lieutenant Aziz Ouedraogo told a press conference in Ougadougou.
Al Jazeera’s Nicholas Haque reported that “General Diendere says he wants to cooperate and surrender arms,” but the “interim government says Diendere is not cooperating”.
Earlier in the day, former Foreign Affairs Minister Djibril Bassole was arrested for allegedly joining forces with Diendere in the attempted coup, amid claims the two had sought help from foreign forces. | POLITICS |

| Link: Click Here for Article SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — British retailer Tesco PLC agreed Monday to sell its South Korean retail business to a locally-led consortium in a deal worth about $6 billion. The acquisition by South Korean private equity firm MBK Partners and a group of Canadian and Singaporean investors is the largest ever in South Korea and one of the biggest deals in Asia so far this year. Homeplus is South Korea's second-largest retailer. Its chains of discount stores generated annual revenue of 8.6 trillion won ($7.1 billion) through February with 788 billion won earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Two Canadian pension funds and Singapore state investment company Temasek are part of the consortium. The MBK-led consortium said it will invest 1 trillion won in Homeplus over the next two years. Tesco, which reported a full-year loss of $8.5 billion through February, has been restructuring its businesses. It closed 43 unprofitable stores in April. Homeplus, meanwhile, is facing criminal and civil lawsuits in South Korea. Company executives were charged in February for selling the personal data of millions of customers to insurance companies, which used the information for marketing.

| I never like to start a post with a "before" picture. You deserve better! And if you have actually tuned in to see ironing?. . . Well, . . . lets just say we are a rare bunch! I asked one of my linen friends, Ginnie, the other day if she had any white-worked pillowcases available, and she said, "I don't know, all my new linens are still in the refrigerator!" If you understand the meaning of that phrase, then you have come to the right place! I just worked with a small batch of linens today after soaking. They mostly just needed freshening up. Seems like I haven't had a linen day in ages! I thought you might like to have a look at what a difference pressing can make. This pretty piece is a small hand towel. Guests will never use these, so I usually have them tucked in somewhere for display or as a doily over or under something. Didn't it turn out beautifully? I am often asked about how to launder linens, but I am no expert. Wash them gently in cold water to avoid setting any stains, and if that's not enough I give them an overnight soak in a non-chlorine whitener like Oxyclean. If you want to know about the proper way to press things, here's a link to some hints by Heloise. (You will also find out what linens in the refrigerator is all about!) It has been said that if your photos aren't good enough, they're not close enough. Well, with ironing, if your linens aren't pressing out smoothly enough, they are not moist enough! I keep a spritzer nearby for areas of cloth that have dried out too much, but I almost always iron linens quite damp from the line or dryer (low setting). A very hot iron is best. I press embroidered pieces from the wrong side to keep from flattening and damaging the hand-work, but that can sometimes take a close look, as in this example. I had to put my reading glasses on! This is machine embroidery and is not that much different on the top side, here, from the wrong side, below. Pressing makes this thin cotton fabric look so much nicer! I like the look of rumpled hankies, but this one gets the treatment today. I was hoping that this grey mark would soak out, but nothing doing. I'm going to imagine that it was a drop of ink from an old love letter that the owner was writing while she shed a tear or two. . . . Hardly noticeable anyway. Such lovely details! I wouldn't hesitate to put this lovely pillowcase on a guest bed unironed if I was in a hurry. But smooth linen is so lovely to lie your head down on! This rumpled runner reveals a few secrets in the pressing. The unpressed edging curls under. The iron perks it up. And begins to show a nice stripe in the damask weave. But just look at this lovely spray of Lily of the Valley that emerges in the ironing! I hadn't actually noticed exactly what the pattern was! So very romantic! I think a damask weave benefits the most with a good ironing. So beautiful and smooth now! This is a rather long runner or dresser scarf as you can see. (Too thin a weave for a towel.) And you may notice that I avoid ironing the fold. Folding is hard enough on fine linens. Storing them rolled in tissue is really best. I never do that, but I certainly admire those who do! All done! That's the end of show and tell for today! I can't tell you what good therapy this is if you don't already know! So nice to have you visit while I do my laundry! Nothing like a good chat over the ironing board! Is there a linen day ahead for you? Happy ironing! Jacqueline | CULTURE & ARTS |

| President Muhammodu Buhari
I PLEDGE to Buhari my President, to be , faithful, loyal and honest. To serve him with all my strength. To uphold his honour and glory so I will not be counted amongst his enemies. So help me God. Knowing that he is an ‘ol soja’ I need to pledge my one hundred percent loyalty to him as he marks his first hundred days in office.
Those who asked him to present a score card of his one hundred days in office, are trying to introduce an American culture to which we are allergic. There are also those who want to claim that he is not implementing the party’s Road Map. They fail to realise that this was merely a road map to the Presidency, not the programme he is expected to implement. In any case, who but the unpatriotic will expect him to implement his manifesto when we did not know things were so bad? All we can do is hope.“We will never betray the people because they have risked everything. – See more at- http—www.vanguardngr.com-2015-05-we-wont-fail-nigerians-buhari-#sthash.FBqyHglO.dpuf I do not think the ruling APC set out to deceive Nigerians as some claim; it is only that it got its facts wrong. It was also not dialectical; in its hurry to move the country forward, it did not go back to see where we are coming from or where we are. But we must believe the APC when it told us, that President Buhari achieved far more in four weeks, than former President Goodluck Jonathan accomplished in six years. With such first class performance, he can politically be said to have completed his tenure and can retire to Daura. But my fear is that such suggestion can be misconstrued, and I may be counted in the camp of retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki, the former National Security Adviser who was caught planning treasonable felony by having seven high calibre rifles in his house. That arsenal is enough to overthrow the combined governments of Russia, United States and China! The President is too modest to present his monumental achievements in his first one hundred days. So as show of deep loyalty, I have decided to attempt a summary. First is insecurity. I echo the popular singsong; Buhari has degraded the capacity of Boko Haram. We now have a Commander-in-Chief who stays up to bolt the doors, when we all have gone to bed. When in two months, Boko Haram would have been pulverised; the attention will be on kidnapping, banditry and cultism. As Nigerians, we have suffered power blackout since birth. Now without buying transformers, generating more power, laying additional cables or building any new system, this is now a thing of the past. My brother, Garba Shehu, the President’s Spokesman in explaining this phenomenon, said it is Buhari’s body language that changed the performance of the privatised power sector. I put it down to a miracle; Buhari said, Let there be light. As a patriot, I now want to sell my generators and inverter. A similar miracle saw the refineries sprouting back to life. Na God win o! The signs have been there; but disbelievers have been blind. In his first one hundred days, the President has run the country quite efficiently without Ministers thereby saving us a lot of money. If he goes on like this for another hundred days, we will save more money that can be used to build schools, hospitals, roads and fund social security. My only regret is that he was too much in a hurry to inaugurate the National Assembly. He has also cleansed the Directorate of State Security by sacking the mouthy Marylyn Ogar and other senior spooks while also curtailing their powers in the Presidential Villa. Our President has also publicly declared his assets. My fear which he has confirmed, is that relative to his fellow generals in office, he is a poor man. But our amiable Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo rescued the image of a poor Presidency. I support all the actions and inactions of President Buhari, although I confess to being confused sometimes. For example what are the summersaults on foreign exchange about? What really is the policy? Within hundred days, the war against corruption is in its last stages. He must resist pressures to probe beyond the Jonathan years; you don’t because you want to scratch your body, peel off your skin or scratch yourself to the bone. Leave Halliburton, leave Power Sector, leave Pentascope-NITEL, leave PTF probes! We should not be so impatient as to assess a man in his first hundred days in office; I have no doubt that President Buhari will make all the necessary changes and fulfill his electoral promises; all we need is patience and good luck. It is heart warming to see so many professors and educated people speaking up for the President and endorsing all the actions he has taken, or may take in future. If all the good people he can find, even for ministerial appointments are from Daura, he should go ahead and appoint them. I am learning to be as patriotic and loyal as one of my old acquaintances, Sola Salako who declared on her wall “Just so they know; there is nothing PMB (Buhari) can do right or wrong that will ever make me regret supporting his candidacy or make me wish we had kept GEJ (Jonathan) in office. NOTHING! No matter how slow, nepotistic, outdated, self-righteous or insensitive you claim he is, he is still 100,000 times a better option than GEJ…I don’t care if he fills the whole country with his family members” This is so brilliantly put, that I recommend we replace the National Pledge with it. I am tempted to go on, but I need to stop here so I don’t get invited to a duel on the social media where thoughts are cheap and words are used and discarded like rain water. I hear that the masses in our country drink champagne through the throats of their leaders; on the occasion of a hundred days in office, let champagne pop, and let them drink on behalf of the citizenry. Hip, hip, hip, hurrah! Hundred gbosa to the peoples general! Culled from: EMPOWEREDNEWSWIRE Related | POLITICS |

You can find the paper registers for your Monday classes in your pigeon holes. Each day this week, I'll put the day's registers in your pigeon holes in the morning. A lot of students sign up in the first week, so by priniting them off daily, more of the new enrolments will be included in them.
Remember that the REAL register this year is the one in the Academies programme. The data in Academies is always updated and live whereas the paper registers are out of date as soon as they're printed. The official record of attendance and YL homework is in the programme. You don't need to use the paper registers at all if you don't want to and you should bin them at the end of the month if you do.
NB: We're still going to use paper registers for off-site classes!! | EDUCATION |

| The first week of the Playoffs was a raging success! Except for the part where a couple superstars sat out, because they could. Then you have the fact that Snedeker, Spieth, and Koepka all missed the cut! Turns out it wasn’t such a great start to the 2015 Playoffs after all.
This week will be much better as we head to TPC Boston for the Deutsche Bank Championship. The course is a par 71, average in length. The main thing we need to know about the course is the fairway generosity. With wide landing spaces, golfers are able to grip it and rip it. This means plenty of wedges and short irons into greens. When you give PGA TOUR pros short irons, they tend to go low. Don’t be surprised to see a couple 8 or 9-under rounds thrown on the board this week.
Check out the Fantasy Golfanac for more course and tournament information.
Players to Watch
Brandt Snedeker … Last week was one of the most surprising missed cuts I’ve seen in a long time. It was the perfect course for Sneds and he’s been in great form. Bad rounds happen though. I’m willing to forgive and forget and jump right back in the pool this week.
Henrik Stenson … Unlike Sneds, the Swede did not disappoint owners last week. He continues to be a monster in strong fields. Keep rolling him out in the “big games”.
Rory McIlroy… He’s taking a backseat to Jason Day, but he’s still the number one golfer in the world over the past two years, by the numbers. His ankle looked fine at the PGA Championship, so treat this superstar as usual moving forward.
Justin Thomas … Continues to improve as a professional golfer. Even since joining the TOUR, he’s flashed his upside, but last week’s top 20 on a course that doesn’t suit his game is a great sign of things to come. The breakthrough victory is coming sooner rather than later.
Bubba Watson … I was on the Bubba Fade Train last week and I said it was risky. It came back to bite me and Bubba apparently learned how to play Donald Ross courses. This week, I am steering clear again. Dumb? Perhaps. Logic: He doesn’t have a single top 10 in nine tries here at TPC Boston.
Will Wilcox … Wavegod Wilcox pulled out of the tournament, so make sure you go change all of your rosters. There is always next year. Hopefully he has that full DraftKings head-to-toe sponsorship by then.
20/20 Club … The obvious member of the 20/20 Course & Form Club is Jason Day . Don’t forget about Matt Kuchar or Jim Furyk though. They are very, very sneaky and both qualify this week as well.
Justin Rose … Much like Bubba, his course history is very sub-par, by his standards. He’s finished outside the top 50 in five of his last six starts here. Missing the cut in three of those. His form is so good right now, that he’s still a decent play. A repeat of last year’s T16 is certainly in the cards. Just not my favorite star-play this week.
Bill Haas … Looking right down #NarrativeStreet, we see that Haas needs to show up in a big way to make the Presidents Cup team that his dad is captaining. We already know he’s not going to accept a Captain’s pick since it would seem like favoritism, so the motivation factor is deep this week.
Brooks Koepka … He’s still waiting for his time to shine (on TV). He’s already arrived for quite some time in the Daily Fantasy Golf world. Let’s give him a pass for last week’s MC on a short par-70 track. This birdiefest should be right up his wheelhouse.
Keegan Bradley … Just got engaged so perhaps this is what gets his game back into the winner’s circle. With friends and family rooting him on this week, the local boy has a lot of narrative factors in his favor this week!
Jordan Spieth … He switched his irons ahead of last week’s Barclays and went onto miss the cut. Hmmmm. I’m not one to question the golden child, but it seems like odd timing. I’m guessing Spieth knows his game better than I do and probably felt amazing about the club switch. I would guess its business as usual this week as Spieth returns to contention.
Deutsche Bank Championship Cheatsheet … Head over to Daily Fantasy Solutions and grab this week’s DraftKings cheatsheet for just five bucks. This includes guys that fit the stat profile, golfers that are in good form, course history, recommended cash game targets and more! I love hearing about the success people are having with the weekly DraftKings cheatsheet so check it out!

| A suspected suicide bomber who was on the move to detonate his explosive device at the Yankari motor park in Bauchi, Bauchi State, has been apprehended.
A security source, who confirmed the arrest to TheCable, said the suspect was trying to gain entry into the park when the explosives on him were spotted by metal detectors mounted at the entrance.
“The man came very early in the morning, around 6am, and was trying to enter. But he was unable to achieve his aim”, the source said.
“Security at the gate detected the bomb, and they caught him. Most of the parks now have metal detectors since Boko Haram has been targeting crowds of people that can usually be found at parks”, the source added.
Described as a “grown man”, the suspect has since been handed over to the police. | LAW & CRIME |

| A text only post, and about history, afield from fauna and flora, sort of...and grim, so dear readers, a caution to read on...
So, after making the post yesterday, I gathered things together and went to the laundry...Maya, my dog, was still enclosed on the porch while Hanh and her husband were gathering fruit from the trees in the backyard...it was too hot in Silver at the Laundry Mat...after a snack at the laundry nearby Donut Shop, I usually sit in Silver and listen to sports radio while waiting for the wash machines to finish...there are some fans in the Laundry, and a few tables to sit at...and I sought relief inside the Laundry, but the only tables to sit at were near the front window in the sun...I perched at one, trying to keep my head up....I'm not taking the heat well at all...always sweating and feeling a bit exhausted...advisory is for old folk to stay still during really hot days...some of it's age, most of it is working at the computer for hours, days, on end!...anyway, I looked up and saw Hawk, Cooper's, soaring in the blueblue sky outside...haven't seen Hawk in awhile...while my clothes were in the dryer, I went over to the Pool Hall...girl with her two little kids was cleaning, and I was only customer...poked the balls around a bit, and thought to see how many spot shots I could make out of ten...a spot shot is when one puts one ball at one end of the table midway, and shoots with another from the other end, aiming to knock the spotted ball into a corner pocket...I was five for ten, my average...thought on that, and how I'm usually five for ten from the basketball free throw line too...and thought how I'm kind of average at what ever game I pursue...games must have a dynamic that makes them not too hard, not too easy, for average sorts like myself!...so, so, the clothes dry, I gather them up unfolded...I can do that at home...I really want to finish the chore, and get away from the heat...at home, I see the fruit picking is finished, and too, Hanh and her husband have cleaned up a lot of the backyard, and trimmed the trees into fine looking round ball trees!...a favor for me that I express my gratitude for...I need to let Maya out of the porch, and implore Hanh to go to her room for a bit...and when I open the porch door, I see Maya has pooped...an expected probability!...and distracted a moment by the odor, Maya gets by me into the house where inside, Bibi, Hanh's little white dog, has gotten by her from her room...left alone, Maya and Bibi might play together, then again, Maya might eat Bibi...so with that later probability in mind, I'm in kind of a panic...Maya is after Bibi like a chew toy...I grab Maya by the collar, but that comes off...try to grab Maya, but those teeth are swinging about, so I grabbed Bibe, and slip her through the hall door to Hanh, and that works...I get a treat for Maya, and lure her outside, and close the doors to the porch, and grab my knees...it's like I've been back and forth on the basketball court chasing too many fast breaks!...it is just too hot!
If there is an aether (see yesterdays postings), I fancy that that is where electricity comes from...or maybe even, electricity is the aether...brb...I hadn't posed things to myself like that until just now, and search: 'electricity is the aether' brings up:
quote
Could it be that the flow of aether in the form of electric field is the true "electric current", and electron flow is only a byproduct? Some researchers, including potentially Nikola Tesla, seem to think so!
Aether Flow -- The True Electric Current?
by Hank Mills Pure Energy Systems News
http://pesn.com/2012/01/27/9602024_Aether_Flow--The_True_Electric_Current/
unquote
Electricity it often spoken about in terms of electric 'current', and electrical 'flow', and even electrical 'pressures', and it's because, early on, scientists, not knowing what electricity is, thought of it as in comparison to water, which was easy to experiment with, and the self same mathematical formula that explained how water worked, they found that these worked for electricity too!
quote
Franklin's discoveries resulted from his investigations of electricity. Franklin proposed that "vitreous" and "resinous" electricity were not different types of "electrical fluid" (as electricity was called then), but the same electrical fluid under different pressures. He was the first to label them as positive and negative respectively,[50] and he was the first to discover the principle of conservation of charge.[51]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin#Electricity

go here in the above quote: electrical fluid
Ben Franklyn is pretty cool...remarkable that a fellow could dabble in so many pursuits, and be exceptional...he made a remark about rattle snake bites that I went over in a Tree in the Door post...and it comes to mind again...and I was about to refer to it, but on reading, I find this:
quote
In a 1772 letter to Joseph Priestley, Franklin lays out the earliest known description of the Pro & Con list,[65] a common decision-making technique, now sometimes called a decisional balance sheet:
... my Way is, to divide half a Sheet of Paper by a Line into two Columns, writing over the one Pro, and over the other Con. Then during three or four Days Consideration I put down under the different Heads short Hints of the different Motives that at different Times occur to me for or against the Measure. When I have thus got them all together in one View, I endeavour to estimate their respective Weights; and where I find two, one on each side, that seem equal, I strike them both out: If I find a Reason pro equal to some two Reasons con, I strike out the three. If I judge some two Reasons con equal to some three Reasons pro, I strike out the five; and thus proceeding I find at length where the Ballance lies; and if after a Day or two of farther Consideration nothing new that is of Importance occurs on either side, I come to a Determination accordingly.[65] from above wiki
unquote
When I was aiming at the pool ball, I was thinking how in a real game, I assess my probability of making a shot...I look for ones I can take and make, and avoid those I would miss...a rehearsal of future probabilities we do all the time!...anyway, lemmesee if I can find the rattlesnake thing...
quote
As if anxious to prevent all pretensions of quarreling with her, the weapons with which nature has furnished her, she conceals in the roof of her mouth, so that, to those who are unacquainted with her, she appears to be a most defenseless animal; and even when those weapons are shown and extended for her defense, they appear weak and contemptible; but their wounds however small, are decisive and fatal. Conscious of this, she never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her.
Benjamin Franklin on the Rattlesnake as a Symbol of America
http://www.greatseal.com/symbols/rattlesnake.html
end quote
Since the advent of the book Moneyball, the talkabouts on the radio sports channels can't get enough of talking about 'analytics'!
Franklin can be subject infatuation myopic...meaning his description is made to suit his notion...I don't think rattlesnakes give much warning to mice!

I am most afraid of failing at my volunteer blog post writing. That would remind me of my first try at getting something entered into a contest and failing.

| Within the first moments of Tuesday night’s prime time debate , Donald Trump had established his superiority.
Not as a candidate whose viewpoint had validity because polling- a very constrained measure at best- suggest his message resonates with voters, but as a Stalin-esque dictator whose premier standing in the race made him final arbiter of all related matters.
As he belittled Rand Paul in the very first exchange of the evening, Trump’s tone made one thing very clear- the force of his great personality should be the arbiter of all political matters.
This tone, which carried throughout the evening in puerile squabblings between candidates that had nothing to do with overarching political ideology and everything to do with the petty points that could be gained in personal attacks, was carried over from the first debate.
Throughout the course of the “JV” debate, the candidates were asked about their positions through a frame of the degree to which they agreed or disagreed with statements made by their fellow running mates:
Rick Santorum was asked to outline his strategy for dealing with ISIS, not directly, but indirectly through a question asking whether he agreed with the number of ground troops Lindsey Graham has stated he wants to deploy in Iraq and Syria.
George Pataki, one of the few candidates to actually present a comprehensive plan for overhauling the tax code, was asked about it, not directly, but indirectly through a question asking whether he supported Jeb Bush’s stated intent to raise taxes on hedge fund managers.
In the prime time debate, Jeb Bush was asked about his foreign policy through the lens of his brother’s actions.
And, by the number of times Ronald Reagan’s name and actions were invoked, one might think 2016 was to be a third term of his administration.
All this adds up to one thing: a modern GOP that is rooted in personality and not philosophy. Candidates have no real root; they stand for nothing, except in contrast to what an opponent says. And then it is not so much the substance in differing opinions that matters so much as the actual difference.
In fact, according to FiveThirtyEight , only 60% of the comments in the first hour of the varsity debate responded to questions. 20% was frittered away in interruptions and the remaining 20% was side-talking as a result of attacks, meaning, of course, it involved squabbling.
As a result, not only is substance completely thrust out of the election, consensus is falsely promoted as the currency of political bargaining, thus further promoting personality over fact.
Anytime numbers were cited they were used as an ad hominem attack on another candidate. During the first debate, Santorum cited legislation dealing with immigration reform he authored and presented during his tenure in the Senate. Lindsey Graham, who moments earlier claimed ignorance of the bill, incessantly interrupted, hurling barbs claiming Santorum’s effort failed because it did not have bipartisan support.
And therein lies the problem: the party has become a living entity that must be defended. Its status has supplanted the need for philosophy-driven politicking. As a result, candidates think name-dropping of influential figures and personal attacks are the key to victory. But it is really the reason they continue to lose. | POLITICS |

| Website visitors do not want obvious personalisation as much as they would like to believe something is personal
The chances are you have received an email addressed to “Dear [First Name]” or similar? Email marketers appear to forget to include our actual names from time to time. It is annoying and we all laugh at it, realising that the company involved has failed to populate its database properly or set up its email software correctly. However, do we care? Are we bothered if the personalisation of emails is poorly carried out?
Ask professional marketers and there’s a good chance that they’ll tell you that personalisation is essential. Indeed, according to a report from Monetate , 94% of businesses believe that proper personalisation is “critical” to success. Meanwhile, less than one in every six firms felt that they were getting a return on their investment in personalisation.
Perhaps that is because people are not as bothered about personalisation as many marketers think. New research suggests that what is important is “perceived personalisation” rather than actually being personal.
Names do not matter much
The study conducted at the University of Miami included an interesting experiment in which people were addressed either by their real name or as “Dear Consumer”. The level of interest in what was being sold was then measured. There was no difference in the degree to which people were prepared to consider what was on sale. Whether they were addressed by their real name or as “consumer” made no difference to their level of interest.
This goes against the long-held theory that names matter and that “Dear First Name” is a negative turn-off. What appears to matter most is getting it wrong. The Miami research found that when they called someone by the wrong name, that led to disinterest. When someone who was called David was addressed as Kevin, for instance, they became completely disinterested in what was on offer.
What this research shows is that we are not that bothered about being called by name. The study included a third experiment that shows why. The preferred holiday destination of participants was known in advance. These people were then asked to look at a web page where a holiday advert for the kind of destination was included. For some participants, the name of their favourite destination was included in the advert. However, it transpired that people were equally interested in the advertisement, regardless of whether or not it contained the destination name. It appears that the mere notion of the holiday was enough to convince people that they should be interested in the advert. The presence of the name made no difference.
Target people’s interests
The three Miami experiments show that as long as people think information is personalised to them they are interested – even if there is no actual personalisation. The “Dear First Name” error is not a problem if the remainder of the email contains information that is of interest to the recipient. Because of this, they think the material is personalised.
Of course, this assumes you know the real interests of your target customers. This is where web technologies let marketers down. Web page advertising, for instance, uses past browser history to target adverts to people. However, it becomes incredibly annoying when you always see advertisements for items you have already purchased. No longer is the advertising about something in which you are interested. As a result, it is like calling David by the name Kevin.
Similarly, many e-commerce sites use visitor purchase history to present a page of options that is “personalised”. However, this frequently fails. If you have been shopping for gifts for a friend at an online retailer you are not that interested in the items yourself. Hence, the so-called “personalised” page is nothing of the sort. It would be better suited to your friend.
For marketers, there is another problem. People do not like their activities being tracked. In one study conducted by Adobe more than two-thirds of people say it is “creepy” when websites track their activities. Increasingly, too, web browsers offer private browsing and Internet security suites are preventing the data from being collected in the first place. The result, inevitably, is going to be that just as marketers start to be able to gather more information to provide greater levels of web personalisation, users are going to stop that from happening.
How can you collect useable data?
People want apparently personalised material and they like web pages that are targeted to their precise needs. However, the desire for privacy is making this harder to achieve. So how can you make people believe the web page they are looking at is personalised to them? After all, the research shows it does not need to be personalised, but it needs to appear to be personalised.
One way out of this is to not personalise at all but to provide people with choices, allowing them to “drill down” to what they are interested in. Human beings are really poor at making decisions. When we are faced with more than three things to select, we end up with “ analysis paralysis ” making it almost impossible for us to decide what to do.
However, you can make people think the page is personalised without doing any personalisation if you let people choose things from up to three options. Imagine, for instance, you want to market software. Visitors could land on a page which asks them to select “Windows, Apple, or Mobile”. Let’s assume they select “Windows”. That leads to three more choices, such as “Office, Utilities or Productivity”. If they click on “Productivity” the website then offers them “Time Management, Note-taking, or Filing”. And so on. After four clicks they are on a page that has precisely what they are interested in; it has the perception of being personalised.
To achieve this, you have not needed to collect any personal data. Neither have you needed any fancy web scripts to produce dynamic pages.
However, for large e-commerce sites, such a system would require too many clicks and hence you would need an additional way of achieving apparent personalisation. One way of achieving this would be allowing people to answer a short questionnaire or poll that provided data to produce pages of interest. Indeed, one way of personalising things without doing “creepy” data collection from browser activity is simply to ask people what they want.
Talk to your customers more
One of the benefits of web technology is that we can collect so much data from our clients and targets. However, that has meant that many businesses now rely more on that data than they do on actually speaking with people.
If you consider a bricks and mortar retailer, staff are trained to talk to customers and to personalise the shopping experience. However, they do not usually ask for our names or any personal details. All they do is ask a couple of questions that elicit the kind of thing we want to buy and the reason for purchasing it. Then, the sales assistant focuses their information on what we are interested in buying. To us, it seems like it is personal, but to the sales assistant it is just another customer who is told information that is about the stuff they are looking for. It is apparent, not real, personalisation and it has worked exceedingly well for retailers for several hundred years.
However, how do they achieve this degree of perceived personalisation? They talk to their customers. That is all. No fancy data collection. Just a conversation.
Online, many businesses have started too much to rely on data collection to produce real personalisation. However, as the research shows real personalisation is not what matters – apparent personalisation is more important. You can achieve that by talking to your customers – or asking them questions when they land on your website. There is a role here for webchat systems too, clearly.
Maybe those 94% of businesses looking to ensure proper personalisation are looking in the wrong place. After all, most of them are failing to make returns on their investment in personalisation technologies. Perhaps they could spend less and make higher profits if they did not strive for real personalisation but produced perceived personalisation instead, partly as a result of talking to their customers more frequently.

| Philadelphia, Pa., Sep 2, 2015 / 02:36 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Responding to Pope Francis' call for Catholics around the world to observe Sept. 1 as a Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia planted a tree on its grounds on Tuesday.
The planting of a white oak was done in partnership with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, and was followed by a blessing of the new tree by the seminary's rector, Bishop Timothy Senior.
The seminary's tree was the 500,000th in the society’s “Plant One Million” campaign. The effort aims to plant 1 million trees throughout 13 counties in southeastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware.
“The annual World Day of prayer for the Care of Creation offers to individual believers and to the community a precious opportunity to renew our personal participation in this vocation as custodians of creation,” Pope Francis said in his letter announcing the day of prayer for the care of creation.
He modeled the day on a practice already observed among the Eastern Orthodox, and encouraged Catholics to organize both prayer and practical initiatives for the event.
The Pope added that it was to be an act of “raising to God our thanks for the marvellous works that he has entrusted to our care,” while also “invoking his help for the protection of creation and his mercy for the sins committed against the world in which we live.”
Francis led a Liturgy of the Word at St. Peter's Basilica for the day of prayer.
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia participated in the initiative not only through the tree planting at the seminary, but also by inviting all its 219 parishes to pray at Mass for the care of creation, and with personal prayers as a way to be aware that we are “custodians of creation.”
All parishes of the archdiocese were invited to include this intention among their prayers of the faithful: “For the protection of God's gift of creation, that this effort on the part of government leaders and everyone will help to overcome the routine abuse and neglect of our common home. Let us pray to the Lord.” Tags: Archdiocese of Philadelphia, World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, St. Charles Borromeo Seminary | RELIGION |

| About an acre of land previously planned as park space associated with the Marine Park and Seawalk will now be set aside for a potential housing project. In a special meeting Thursday morning, the City and Borough of Juneau Assembly Committee of the Whole voted to alter the city’s bid for the seawalk project, a move they hope will expand housing options for Juneau residents. The bid, which has been out for a little more than a week, will now exclude the small park area near the Juneau-Douglas Bridge located just beyond where the whale statue is to be placed. The Assembly held its special work session in response to a proposal by developer Wayne Coogan. At the last Assembly meeting, Coogan urged the city to consider his admittedly last-minute proposal to build a 60-unit housing project in the space the city has planned for years to put the whale statue. However, the land the committee reserved will not support a housing project the size of Coogan’s initial proposal. In addition to the fact the space is too small for such a project, zoning requirements, space for parking and the Juneau-Douglas Bridge, which extends over the land in question, further limit the size of any housing development that may go there. Presently, any such housing development could be no more than three stories tall and could not contain more than 23 units without breaking city code. This story will be expanded; check back for updates. • Contact reporter Sam DeGrave at [email protected] or at 523-2279. | OTHERS |

(Click photo for screen-resolution image);high-resolution image available. Dempsey Talks Caution, Whole-of-Government Approach
By Jim Garamone DoD News, Defense Media Activity
WASHINGTON September 22, 2015 — Throughout his tenure as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey has stressed that the military instrument of power may not always be the best tool to solve problems and issues. Dempsey spoke recently to DoD News in a wide-ranging interview. The chairman retires at the end of this month after 41 years on active duty, including four years as the nation’s highest-ranking military officer. He said he believes in the whole-of-government approach with economic, diplomatic, law enforcement, energy and the military instruments of power working together to confront problems and issues, and he's pushed for that approach many times during his tenure. But many people still want the government to reach for the military first when confronted with an issue, the chairman said, adding that he's both flattered by and wary of the confidence people have in the military. “We embrace the idea that the American people and our elected officials have such confidence in us that we do tend to be the most prominent instrument of power,” he said. “I wouldn’t want to change that.” Increasing Understanding Some surveys of the American public show the U.S. military with an approval rating as high as 72 percent, and the military is generally viewed as effective and capable. Also, Dempsey said, people are beginning to understand what the whole-of-government approach means, including how the military fits in as an underlying, stabilizing force. “I do think there’s a recognition that most conflicts have these underlying issues … and that the military instrument, while it can bring a degree of stability to provide an opportunity for those underlying issues to be resolved, in and of itself and solely, it cannot resolve those,” he said. “The phrase whole-of-government is not just desirable --it’s actually imperative.” Understanding of the concept has grown since 2001, he said. The experience in Iraq is just one example. The chairman has deployed to Iraq a number of times since 1990, when he served in Operation Desert Storm. He returned in 2003 to command the 1st Armored Division in Baghdad. As a three-star, he commanded the Multinational Security Transition Command-Iraq from 2005-2007. Iraq needed help from several different agencies, he said, and he saw the departments of State, Treasury and Energy as well as the U.S. Agency for International Development, the FBI and others join with DoD and the intelligence community to address the full spectrum of problems that nation faced. While the military instrument was necessary to create conditions for other aspects of the whole-of-government approach to work, Dempsey said, diplomacy is necessary to negotiate among sectarian factions, economic advice is needed to grow economies and law enforcement professionals are needed to ensure the rule of law and application of justice. Finally, governance advice is needed to combat corruption and ensure citizens believe the government is working in their best interests, the chairman said. “I think we’ve come a long way, actually, when I think about where we were in 2001 [compared to] where we are today,” he said. “But we’ve got some distance to travel in that regard, in particular as these challenges multiply. I already admitted it’s putting the Department of Defense under a certain amount of pressure. It’s stretching us out.” Budget Cuts, Human Cost The military has a “can-do” ethic, the chairman said, and he is worried that this undercuts DoD leaders’ requests for budget increases. “It’s why we’re having some trouble articulating the effect of the budget,” he said. Budget cuts are eroding military capabilities a little at a time. “Erosion is tough to identify. It’s not temporal, you know -- you never know when … that erosion will cause a collapse or a near collapse,” the chairman said. “So the erosion of our advantages is troubling. But again, it’s somewhat because we’re victims of our success, and we’re having trouble articulating the way we’re accruing risk long-term.” Dempsey said he never forgets that service members based around the world carry out decisions made in Washington. “I’ve thought a lot about the use of the military instrument of power, and in particular whether it’s … more appropriate to be cautious or aggressive with it,” he said. “I actually think … a bit of caution in the use of the military instrument is appropriate because the stakes are just so high.” War is one of the most complex of human endeavors, he said, citing the ancient Greek historian Thucydides, who said that nations go to war out of fear, honor or self-interest. “It’s usually something of each of those,” Dempsey said. “And when conflict starts out of either fear or honor, and in the case of certain current conflicts, of religion, the ability to manage those conflicts becomes much more difficult, much more challenging.” Caution is not a pejorative when considering war, the chairman said. “On the other hand … the use of the military instrument is different, whether you’re dealing with a nation-state or a peer-competitor or a non- or sub-state group,” he said. “Each of those challenges requires you to think deliberately about whether it’s appropriate to have a, as I’ve describe it, a bias for action or a bias for inaction. My point is this: if you have a universal bias for inaction that can become problematic.” Compressed Decision Cycles There must be a balance, the chairman said, given the threat and the other pressures on the system. “I think you have to be very judicious in balancing your tendency to go into action and your tendency to wait and see if other opportunities present themselves,” he said. There isn’t a lot of time for contemplation. One trend the chairman has noticed is the phenomenal increase in the speed of information and the compression of the decision cycle. Social media plays a role in this. “Tahrir Square became a flash mob through social media that quickly changed the nature of the environment in Egypt -- profoundly changed it,” Dempsey said. “And of course, the fruit vendor in Tunisia who self-immolates, he becomes the catalyst for the Arab Spring.” Social media also means officials are making policy and strategy in public. “It’s the recognition that the decisions we make are immediately visible and evident to large numbers of people, and not just at home but across the globe,” he said. This can go two ways, he said: nations will either become more aggressive or more cautious. “I will leave it to historians to decide whether we become more aggressive or more cautious in the face of this proliferation of awareness and information,” he said. “But it is a part of the environment that can’t be ignored.” It has to be understood at the highest levels. “When I talk to my peers in the military and when I talk to our elected officials, I talk about options and I talk about whether we’re in a period that requires either a bias for action or a bias for inaction,” he said. “But what we can’t allow is this proliferation of information to do is generate an almost insatiable appetite for more information and more options, which can actually paralyze the system.” People want an exquisite solution, the chairman explained, and they often believe that with just a bit more information and a bit more time that a perfect solution exists. “What I’m suggesting is, as I pass the torch of the chairmanship to [Marine Corps] Gen. [Joseph] Dunford, I think that reality of making strategy in public and the risk of paralysis is much more real than it was when I became the chairman, and I can only imagine how that environment could change over the next four years.” Related Images Army Gen.

| The overturning of Tom Brady’s deflategate suspension shook up our fantasy football quarterback rankings for Week 1. Sure, he’s just one player, but with Brady now checking in at No. 8, that means everyone after him moved down a notch, knocking someone out of the “starter tier.” In 12-team leagues, that someone was Matthew Stafford. Judging by that, you can probably guess that the QB position is loaded this week, but just in case you had a “wait-on-QB” strategy during your draft, our rankings can still help you find plenty of potential sleepers and busts based on matchups. MORE: Week 1 fantasy football rankings: QB | RB | WR | TE | DEF | K Fantasy football rankings, Week 1, QB The very top of our QB rankings are the same as our season-long rankings. Andrew Luck and Aaron Rodgers slot in and Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, but things change after that. For instance, Drew Brees falls from preseason No. 6 to Week 1 No. 9, largely because of what figures to be a tough road matchup with the Cardinals. It’s impossible to know what to fully expect in Week 1, but there are certain matchups and situations that scream “trouble” right from the get-go. Get your full fantasy football Week 1 QB rankings here. Fantasy QB sleepers for Week 1 Monday night’s game between the Eagles and Falcons should feature a lot of offense. Matt Ryan and Sam Bradford, who conceivably could’ve been drafted as backups in your fantasy league, should put up big points. The same goes for Eli Manning on Sunday night against the Cowboys and Ryan Tannehill against the Redskins. We think all four will post starter-worthy numbers in 12-team leagues. Fantasy QB busts for Week 1 Injuries to wide receivers could affect quarterbacks in Week 1, but we’re more worried about matchups and other variables for key guys like Stafford (playing outdoors in a stadium with natural grass) and Cam Newton (no proven WRs, Jaguars decent against QBs last year). While we still think Stafford and Newton (among others) will be fine over the long-term, they might not be your best options for Week 1. Get your full fantasy football Week 1 QB rankings here.

| Trench: c/o Lookbook Store | Tank: LOFT Jeans: Topshop via Nordstrom (similar on sale & in more sizes) | Heels: Target (similar here, here) Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target (love this and this) | Sunnies: Ray-ban
So sorry for my absence yesterday... I had a migraine that lasted over 24 hours and looking at a computer screen basically made me want to cry, SO as you saw on my snapchat yesterday (un: jacylenore), I ended up spending most of the day in bed and on the couch with my doggies. The headache part was miserable of course, but it was also weirdly nice to just do nothing. If you have any migraine tricks I would love to know them! My aunt has a combo of things she takes when she gets one, which usually helps me, but yesterday it didn't help at all. Now onto my outfit... I love this slightly edgier take on the classic trench! I mentioned in a post last week that I've never owned a trench coat and for some reason have a total mental block with styling them. I chose this long vest from Lookbook Store a) because we all know by now how much I love olive green, and b) because I wanted to push myself with my styling. I love a style challenge and having the opportunity to wear something really unique. I think this would look so cute layered over a blouse or lightweight sweater with regular denim as well. It's definitely a fun piece!

| A theme I took away from our screening on Monday night was the idea of mindless consumption. In “Television Delivers People” (1973), Richard Serra and Carlota Fay Schoolman portray that “it is the consumer who is consumed” and that what television does is “teach materialistic consumption”. So often, we passively sit in front of the television as we are fed messages and products. I know that, personally, if a commercial comes on and it isn’t clear what the message is or what it is that I’m supposed to be “consuming”/“buying”, I find myself questioning what the point of the commercial was. This example can be felt when watching Chris Burden’s commercials. Burden's videos portray just how hypnotizing and influential television can be. With his "skits" and hidden messages, Burden confuses the audience and leaves viewers feeling as though they aren’t sure what they should take away from his message or what they need to buy.

| In May 2011 I wrote this piece warning about the dangers of pushing a giant civil or regional war in Syria:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nicholas-noe/a-third-way-on-syria-is-possible_b_868383.html
Later today my piece on Crisis Group's unfortunate turn to calling for US military intervention against Assad will come out - and another piece later this week will be published that more specifically poses the Third Way alternative.
A few excerpts from May 2011:
"As a result of this idea vacuum, the Neo-LiberalCon tsunami grows by the day, publicly eschewing armed, Libyan-style intervention (although, given past statements, it is likely the neo-con wing privately hopes for this), and instead posits a policy by powerful external actors that would accelerate Syria's internal contradictions and pressures to the breaking point.
"One essential problem with this formulation is that the result, especially for the people of Syria, will likely be even worse than the kind of civil war that obtains to this day in Libya. As one Syrian activist who crossed into Lebanon casually told a Western reporter earlier this month, he could contemplate the need for sacrificing the lives of 2-3 million Syrians for freedom...
###
"But forcing an immediate, radical leap to full democracy would likely be too much for either the regime or many Syrians to reasonably swallow without collapsing the whole process (at which point one must again consider the moral and strategic dangers of the "accelerated collapse" policy).
"What's more, if the West wants to demand, say, a date for presidential, as opposed to merely parliamentary, elections -- thus directly challenging the Assad rule now rather than helping to guide an indigenous democratic process to eventually deal with the issue -- one needs to look around the region and think very hard whether we are going to be consistent and demand exactly the same thing, now, in Bahrain for example (where there is a nominally elected parliament but the monarchy rules) much less in Saudi Arabia, Jordan etc.
"Either way, at this point -- even given the increasingly wanton brutality of the regime -- it still seems reasonable to assert that a critical mass of Syrians themselves, within the country, would prefer a concrete plan and commitment -- backed by patient but strong set of external actors -- for a gradual transition towards a range of meaningful democratic reforms (especially in concert with the other supporting measures), rather than the alternative track we are likely going down: tens of thousands, perhaps more, dead and many more lives ruined for a prolonged period of time as in Iraq...
####
"Without putting positive incentives out there, however, such an effort is emaciated from the start and unlikely to succeed in the Syrian context (where the army appears to have greater loyalty to the Assad rule), or to have much of an effect on the regime's calculations.
"With a concrete set of "carrots," the wedges we know exist within the regime and within Syria's elites would be greatly exacerbated in the event of a rejection, empowering soft-liners against hardliners and likely strengthening the former's ability to gain the upper hand in mitigating the effects of any eventual collapse, should it come to pass.
"Make the Assads and any of their allies that are left within the country and outside (including key actors like Hezbollah and Hamas) seem obviously unreasonable and you will have gone a long way towards saving lives and, hopefully, making the path towards freedom for all Syrians an achievable and liveable reality..." | OTHERS |

Comment
CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon likes to say he doesn't "vibrate on that frequency" when it comes to some of the minutiae in baseball, so he's not sweating much this final week of the regular season. His team has clinched a playoff berth, they're healthy and they're getting plenty of rest.
But when it comes to finding another starter for a potential best-of-five or -seven playoff series, that's something of interest to him -- or at least it will be if the Cubs can get past the wild-card game next week, on Oct. 7.
Has righty Kyle Hendricks finally locked down the gig after going six shutout innings and striking out a career-high nine against the dangerous Kansas City Royals on Monday night?
"He just had everything going on tonight," Maddon said after the Cubs won 1-0 in 11 innings. "He was really sharp."
Hendricks walked two in the first inning but gave up only two base runners the rest of his night. He got better as the game went along, and Maddon indicated he took him out after 90 pitches to make sure the pitcher felt good about his performance while increasing his confidence.
"It's huge," Hendricks said. "When you're searching for it and you finally see the results you need something like that."Kyle Hendricks allowed six hits and two walks but did not allow the Royals to score in six innings on Monday. He struck out nine. AP Photo/Andrew A. Nelles
Hendricks has had the quintessential up-and-down season giving both hope and reason to pause in a playoff affair. Did the Royals' unfamiliarity with the Cubs righty help his night? Would the opposite be true of a divisional foe in the postseason? Or would the brainy Hendricks take advantage of knowledge he has acquired over the past year and a half as a big leaguer? He was asked if he felt like he was auditioning for a postseason role.
"Come playoff time you have to be ready to do whatever Skip asks you to do," Hendricks responded.
Hendricks included starting or coming in from the bullpen as possibilities next month while Maddon claims he hasn't thought about it yet as the wild-card contest looms first.
"We're focused on one game," Maddon said.
As good as Hendricks was on Monday he was lowering a lofty 4.79 September ERA. The bottom line is there hasn't been much predictability in his game this year but maybe Monday was a start.
"I eventually found that groove," Hendricks said. "The past four or five games I've had it at times. That was definitely the best I felt in those last innings."
Will he feel his best in October? To be determined. | SPORTS |

| When metalcore band Every Time I Die stormed on to the Rebel Stage at Riot Fest Chicago this past weekend, it was clear… they came to rock!! ETID holds a reputation for their intense energy in both sound and performance. It wouldn’t be a ETID show without the mosh and surf. And of course watching a member of the band trash the stage during the final was fun to watch! Their Superheaven & Muck UK Tour kicks off in November. Later to make a stop back in the states, in late November, in Philly. Every Time I Die’s show was definitely one amongst my favorites. Look forward to the next time they are back in town. @everytimeidie Thanks for ROCKIN wit me!!!

| Red Kelly (OWL Party) 1976 Washington State Voting Pamphlet entry Kali Holloway has this article at Alternet about four frivolous political parties. The title indicates that there are five, but the fifth entry is actually about write-in votes for Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. The parties profiled are the Guns and Dope Party, the OWL Party, the Straight Talking American Government Party (or STAG Party), and the Rent is Too Damn High Party. The article does point out that the RITDHP does advocate serious political aims. Holloway also briefly mentions the Youth International Party (Yuppies), which nominated a pig for president in 1968. From the entry on the Guns and Dope Party: Robert Anton Wilson was a patron saint of the countercultural underground and Jack-of-all-writerly-trades, serving as associate editor of Playboy from 1965-’71 and authoring some 35 books, including The Illuminatus! Trilogy, co-written with Robert Shea. Wilson gave us the concept of “model agnosticism,” which holds that nothing should be regarded with absolute belief or denial, and once said, “My goal is to try to get people into a state of generalized agnosticism, not agnosticism about God alone but agnosticism about everything.” In the early 1980s, Wilson founded the anarcho-libertarian Guns and Dope Party, which advocates, “(1) guns for those who want them, no guns forced on those who don’t want them (pacifists, Quakers etc.); (2) drugs for those who want them, no drugs forced on those who don’t want them (Christian Scientists, etc.); (3) an end to Tsarism and a return to constitutional democracy; and (4) equal rights for ostriches.” In direct contrast to the Birthday Party, which promotes Nobody for President, the Guns and Dope Party platform is Everybody for President, and encourages us all to write in our own names at every election. The party also suggests everyone become a “genuine and authorized” tsar, a feat achieved by printing out a free card. Plus, its motto is one anyone could get on board with: “Like what you like, enjoy what you enjoy, don’t be afraid to make slurping sounds, and don’t take crap from anybody.” | OTHERS |

| Walker’s Back on Track Programme isn’t just some half arsed self development course nor a tiny twinkle professional “sort myself out” programme. It is, by testimonial, the most advanced human development programme on earth. Just because it’s done in nature doesn’t mean it’s not scientific. Thousands of years of wisdom has been distilled into this programme in the form of nature’s universal laws, an asset any business tycoon, entrepreneur, parent, lover or global citizen would consider one of their greatest. You don’t get spoon fed over years and years in a learning model that suggests “when you get this bit, I’ll give you that bit” no, you get 100% of the wisdom you need to make the whole of life, creation, nature, physics, business and relationship transparent, ordered and manageable in 30 days. You’ll spend the rest of your born days learning to apply it. And just because I don’t wear a fancy suit, or robes, sing in cathedrals, hit the front page of the news daily or belong to an organised business or religious sect, doesn’t mean you are not being exposed to genius. I’d rather take a back seat and let you discover yours, rather than mine. | OTHERS |

| The third and final day of the Mexican Go Congress began on Monday with round 5 of the Mexican Open, then during lunch Myungwan Kim 9P lectured on manipulating the surrounding board situation to prepare for crosscuts. A well-timed forcing move that may be bad locally because it seems to erase aji or makes an ugly shape can be perfectly situated to cause your opponent to collapse at the end of a crosscut sequence if you have made sure to read it out correctly. After the 6th and final round, Kim reviewed the top-board game (right) in which Congress director Emil Garcia finally managed to triumph over defending champion Abraham Florencia. Pictured in the lower right corner is a variation (not the real game) showing white collapsing after inappropriately choosing the small avalanche when the ladder is unfavorable. - report/photo by Steven Burrall | ENTERTAINMENT |

| On The Wings of Love September 30 2015
On the Wings of Love is a 2015 Philippine romantic comedy television series directed by Antoinette Jadaone and Jojo Saguin, starring James Reid and Nadine Lustre in their first primetime television series introducing Reid's newest first leading lady after Lustre, Ysabel Ortega. The series premiered on ABS-CBN and worldwide on The Filipino Channel on August 10, 2015, replacing Bridges of Love.
The rom-com centers around the two different people — Leah, a simple girl with an American dream; and Clark, a boy living his American life.
On the Wings of Love tells the story of Clark Medina, a stubborn, heartbroken, Filipino American boy; and Leah Olivar, a happy-go-lucky Filipina with an American dream, and how their love grew through time, despite bad first impressions toward each other.
Leah grew up in a very poor but happy family. Her mother, Rona went to America to follow her own American dream for her family; a better future. Life is initially well for the Olivars, until a tragedy enters their lives that will prompt Leah to follow in her mother's footsteps, by way of a choir competition in San Francisco, California. After the contest, Leah will extend her stay in San Francisco to visit her mother's grave and find a way to legally work in the United States to earn money for her ill father, Sol. To her surprise, Leah will not find her mother's remains. And as her visa expires, finding a job that will allow her to stay in the US will also be difficult.
With the urging of Jack, the mother of Leah's ex-boyfriend, Jiggs, and out of desperation, Leah will agree into a fixed marriage to get her work permit. But with Leah's limited resources, it will be hard for Jack to find her a partner. The only person that will agree to the small amount that Leah is willing to pay and is suitable for the situation is Jack's nephew, Clark.
Clark has been in San Francisco for the past eleven years, and his life has been full of heartbreaks. He went to the US with his mother Ofelia to be introduced to his American father, but he rejected them. Tragedy doesn't end there for Clark; soon after, his mother died and Clark was placed into foster homes where he got abused. Because of his love for his siblings in the Philippines, that depends on him, Clark persevered and survived in the US. These misfortunes and responsibilities in life deprived Clark of romantic love.
Leah and Clark initially had bad first impressions of each other, but with Jack's intervention, Leah and Clark agreed to get married. As they spend time as a fake couple, Leah and Clark must try to learn about each other's past, quirks, and habits to pass the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) interview. They quickly realize that they can barely tolerate each other, but as time passes, Leah and Clark develop a certain fondness for each other. They also realize that both have the same goals in life, and that is making a better life for their family. They also begin to sympathize with each other, as Leah and Clark reveal their deepest secrets. Soon after, the fake marriage between Leah and Clark will have real feelings of love.

| Dabo Swinney Dabo Swinney isn’t about to look past Appalachian State and ahead to next Thursday’s matchup at Louisville. He made it clear that overlooking the Mountaineers will get them beat. Dating back to last season, App State has won seven straight games so they have the Tigers full attention this week. Below are a few highlights from Dabo’s press conference, along with audio. Swinney said he is proud of the start they got off to last week. “A really good start for us.” Swinney said he is very impressed with Appalachian State and they run they are on. (Seven straight wins) Swinney: “They list 19 starters back, but they really have more than that. They have are full attention.” Appalachian State’s quarterback Taylor Lamb is the son of former Furman coach Bobby Lamb. Swinney said they are dealing with a different caliber when it comes to Appalachian State’s athletes compared to Wofford. Swinney said they have to be ready for more pressure on Watson this week. They will emphasize protecting him. Swinney said all of the injured players from the Wofford game will be back at practice today, sans Mike Williams. Swinney said Williams injury was a “freak thing” and there are no plans now to change the setup of the goal post or padding in the end zone. Swinney said they played well, but still made too many mistakes against Wofford. He said the margin for error will shrink going forward. Swinney: “Our full attention is on Appalachian State. It better be. If people don’t think this team can come in here and win they are wrong.” Swinney: “We’re expecting a fourth quarter dog fight against a team that doesn’t want to loose.” Swinney said it is going to take a group of guys, not just one, to replace Mike Williams and his production. Swinney said playing a lot of guys in these early games is going to be key to developing depth for the tough stretch of games looming. Swinney said Mitch Hyatt played really well in his first career start. “It would be hard for a guy to play better in his first college game.” AUDIO: Dabo Swinney 9-8 AUDIO: Brent Venables 9-8 | SPORTS |

| The eulogy above (click for larger version) is the most beautiful I have read for any pet, ever. The love my cousin Mandy and her husband Myles had for this gentle giant shone (and still shines) through in every mention and every photograph of the beautiful Voorslag Tau.
Our hearts always break when we lose them but they do live in our hearts forever. I hope this small tribute to this beautiful big boy helps a little with that, Mandy and Myles. My thoughts, hugs and love are with you.

By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.

My Tau passed away, no more to breathe a sound.
I held him for the last time, then entombed him in the ground.
Day and night I wept so much, in tears I thought I’d drown.
I searched my soul for comfort, but no peace therein was found.
In great despair, I hit my knees and then began to pray.
“Father will I ever see, my dog again someday?”
I raised my eyes and saw an angel standing near a gate.
I sensed an inner peace I’d never felt before that day.
The angel smiled and said to me, “Oh man of little faith!
God sees every bird that falls; He knows your Tau’s fate.
I have met your Tau, I saw him pass my way.
Your precious dog is still alive; he just walked through this gate.
Paradise is lovelier than you can comprehend.
No pain or grief, no tears or fears, and life will have no end.
God gave to man His only Son, to cover all his sins.
So why would God withhold from you, your pure and loving friend?”
The angel took me by the hand and said, “Now come with me.
A glimpse of paradise I’ll give, to you so you can see.”
Through the gate and o’er the Rainbow Bridge we did proceed.
Through green valleys filled with flowers, rolling hills and trees.
“Wow, so this is paradise!” The place was filled with joy.
I saw my Tau playing there, with dogs and cats and toys.
He also had some doggie treats, and food that he enjoyed.
He’d made a lot of new friends there, including girls and boys.
Then I saw a child come near, and hug my doggy mate.
She said to him, “I love you so,” and kissed him on the face.
The angel said, “The child just crossed the Rainbow Bridge today.
Now she needs a little friend, to love and help her play.
God’s love for her would be enough, in that make no mistake.
But in His love, He knew full well, the child would want a mate.
This is why God called your dog unto this splendid place.
God’s entrusted her with him, ‘til you pass through the gate.”
I pleaded, “May I hug them both?!” The angel answered, “No!
You’d violate a sacred site, and now it’s time to go.”
He led me back across the Bridge and through the gate to home.
He left me there with new-found hope and peace within my soul.
If someone ever asks what happens to a dog that dies,
Just give a gentle smile of joy and look them in the eye.
Take their hand and comfort them and tell them not to cry.
For dogs don’t die, they simply cross a bridge to paradise. | OTHERS |

| On 15th September, Ron's parents will have been married for 70 years. This morning, he brought me their wedding album, from which he has given me the honour of making some prints for a commemorative book he is compiling. So keen was I to show him how I would go about it that I scanned one to begin with.
In the process I managed to delete iPhoto and everything in it, including all the photographs I have worked on in it. This threw me into something of a panic.
Fortunately Elizabeth managed to help me to open up a new iPhoto file, and learned from Google that it would be possible to recover what I have lost. This would require a phone call to Apple tomorrow, but it gave me peace of mind to enjoy the rest of the day and the facility to post today's photographs.
In the meantime, Aaron finished his work on paving and gravelling the garden, when he covered the concrete surface at the southern end with shingle.
The exquisite, tiny, little rose, Flower Power, is living up to its name.
This was a perfectly splendid, sunny, day, so when the ladies fancied a cream tea we began with a trip to Gordleton Mill Hotel, where the catering is superb, and where we knew Elizabeth would enjoy the sculpture garden which has already featured in a few of my posts.
Unfortunately they no longer serve cream teas, but were happy to give us coffee on the lawn, within nostrils' reach of the kitchen extractor emitting appetisingly tempting aromas of Sunday roast dinners, reminiscent of supermarkets wafting the smell of baking bread throughout the stores.
Sun played on the River Avon rippling beneath the white bridge over which it is necessary to walk to reach the hotel.
Ducks were in their element.
I have photographed most of the sculptures on previous occasions, but
this horse made from bicycle parts is new.
Elizabeth was intrigued by it too, especially as she thought nephew Adam would like it.
I have not noticed the dancing hares before.
The garden offers many different outlooks. Elizabeth and Jackie adorn this one.
The eucalyptus is beginning to shed its leaves.
Taking a break on a chair, roomy enough for them to share, Jackie and Elizabeth found their feet could not reach the ground.
For those who may not be familiar with the term, a pub crawl is a trip from hostelry to hostelry in search of the perfect pint, or whatever else takes your fancy.
The craving for cream teas remaining unsatisfied, we visited Braxton Gardens tea rooms where Elizabeth and Jackie enjoyed their searched-for treat, consisting of scones, clotted cream, jam, tea, and the attention of wasps who indulged in their own crawl into the unfinished jampots.
After this, we drove via Keyhaven and past the salt marsh and around Hurst Spit to Sturt Pond before returning home.
On the marsh at low tide, turnstones were demonstrating why they are so named.
Silhouetted against the lowering sun, a photographer positioned his subjects
then took the shot.
Before Elizabeth returned home to West End, we enjoyed a Hordle Chinese Take Away meal with which she and I drank Caviller del Diable reserva shiraz 2013. Unfortunately Jackie was out of Hoegaarden. | CULTURE & ARTS |

| The current El Nino phenomenon, a global weather pattern known to wreak havoc every few years, should last until spring and likely become one of the strongest on record, forecasters said Thursday.
The predicted increase in duration is up from about 90 percent last month, according to the center in College Park, Maryland.
The combination of atmospheric and oceanic anomalies reflect a strong El Nino, the Center reported Thursday.
Atlantic hurricane season by increasing storm-weakening wind shear in that basin.
The temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, along the equator are 3.78 degrees Fahrenheit above the historic average, making it the warmest since September since 1997.
Amid forecasts of a possibly record-breaking El Niño, Californians are being careful not to get their hopes too high that it will finally wash away the state’s stubborn drought.
This year’s El Niño was first recognized in March. This month, they were upgraded to “strong”. It simply fizzled out.
And it placed the likelihood that the southwestern USA states will see much-needed wetter-than-normal winters between 33 and 60 per cent, depending on region.
“Just because something is favored doesn’t guarantee it will happen”, Halpert said.
Already, cities around the state are preparing for potential soaking storms and even flooding and mudslides, and roofers and tree trimmers are booked solid with business from concerned residents.
And Kevin Werner, Director of NOAA’s Western Regional Climate Services in Seattle, said one season of above-normal precipitation in California will not erase the drought that has gripped the state for four years.

Student Suspended Over wearing American Flag T-Shirt?
When a student is suspended from school, sent home, or disciplined for actions done while in class, one would think it is because of acting out in class, speaking against the teacher, or maybe even a continued interruption. What about being suspended for wearing a t-shirt that has an American flag on it? For one Texas high school student, this was the very reason he was suspended. We are in dangerous moments when those within America deem the very flag that flies over America as offensive. Watch the full moment of what has taken place and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Texas, ROTC, suspension, liberties, Fox News, and principal. Greg shared in this segment.
Are we Losing our Liberties?
Prager University has recently released a video asking this very timely and thought provoking question, “How did the framers of the Constitution of the United States seek to preserve liberty?” When asking students, according to Prager, their answer has commonly been, “they added the Bill of Rights; they gave the power to enforce those rights to the Supreme Court”. Most would say they are correct. The original inception of the powers given to the three branches of government was established with limitations of powers. Because many do not understand these powers, or their limitations, we have witnessed a gross overstepping of these limitations. “Freedom can be taken away, but can also be given away – out of sheer ignorance.” Be empowered as you see and understand the original ideas that the founding fathers had for our nation, how we have strayed so far from these original ideas, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Prager University, Bill of Rights, Supreme Court, Roe v Wade, Brown v Board of Education, and The Affordable Care Act. Greg and John shared in this segment.
The Freedom Experience: Rediscovering Brave and Courageous Stands for Liberty
It has been said more than once that anyone who does not know their history is bound to repeat it. Glenn Beck recently spoke at The Freedom Experience and shared an encouraging reminder of the importance of the hour that we are facing today. When we look at the stories of the pilgrims who came to the land that we know as America, the stories of who they were reveal the impact that their lives had. When the Salem Witch Trials occurred in Massachusetts, the blame gets put on Christians for these horrifying events. What most do not know is that it was also Christians who brought it all to a stop. Because of a few individuals bringing clarification to what actually is in the Word of God, The Bible, it caused the man who began the trials, to beg for forgiveness because he didn’t know his scriptures well enough.
Glenn Beck shares some startling and priceless articles of history that reveal some characters and who they were and what they stood for: The Book of Common Prayers for King George III, King Louie’s Book of Common Prayers, and also an Original Tyndale Bible owned by a Puritan. Some of these very books are difficult to open, because they have never been opened. Some are tattered and worn, dog-eared and highlighted, because of the continual and personal use. What do our scriptures look like? Are we reading our scriptures? Today we have the very technology in our very pockets, according to Beck, that “have more computing power than the computers that NASA had that sent man to the moon”. Beck continues by asking this critical question: “What are you using that for? Surfing for porn, texting, laughs, Facebook, or changing the world!?”
Amidst people lamenting that this is a horrible time to be born, Beck encourages this generation with the reminder, “Its time to wake up and stand up”.Be greatly encouraged to recognize the critical hour of opportunity to stand up boldly, and unashamedly in the time and moment that God has created you to live that will bring great glory to God, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Freedom Experience, George Washington’s compass, iPhone, Revolutionary War, Puritans, King George, The Church, testimony, The Smithsonian, The Purple Heart, and The Black Robe Brigade. Greg and John shared in this segment.

United’s under-19 side showed the first-team how it’s done as they eased to an away victory in the Netherlands.

| We’re slowly approaching the end of September and I think most of us are ready to move on to fall fashion by now. And what better way to start off planning our fall wardrobe than with a pair of slouchy suede peep-toe booties? I’ve been in love with these lovely suede booties ever since I first saw the Chinese Laundry pair a few months ago. This bootie is so chic and versatile and would work with dresses, skirts, jeans, heavy knits, you name it. Then, a few days ago, I discovered an almost identical pair at Nine West . Same design, same materials, same color and a very similar price tag. So I thought these two would make good candidates for a new style battle edition. Which of the booties is your personal favorite? Chinese Laundry’s “Laurel” or Nine West’s “Kacey”? Take the poll below and let us know.

| By TED CARTER Pearl has failed in an effort to show that its actions against a mobile park differed from those of Richland, whose attempt to prevent a manufactured home park from refilling vacated lots met with defeat in the Supreme Court in May. Like Richland, Pearl has no legal authority to stop a park owner from filling a vacant lot, Madison-Rankin Circuit Judge John H. Emfinger ruled last week. Pearl City Attorney James Bobo said Friday he will meet with the mayor and City Council to decide whether to appeal. The ruling in favor of Homewood Co.’s Grove Acres Mobile Home Community marked a second setback for the efforts of Rankin County communities to stop the filling of vacant mobile home spaces. The first ruling, given in a 9-0 Mississippi Supreme Court decision, applied to Richland. Both rulings affirmed a property owner’s constitutional right to “enjoy” his property and to continue a nonconforming use that does not involve an expansion of the use. » READ MORE: Federal suit charges Pearl discriminates against multi-family housing The state Supreme Court ruling in late May struck down a similar land-use policy in Richland, overturning a ruling by Emfinger. The circuit judge had upheld Richland’s claim that filling of 30 or so vacant lots in the park on Old Highway 49 would expand a non-conforming use. Pearl hoped to persuade Emfinger that the Grove Acres case had substantial differences from the Cleveland Mobile Home Park ruling. But Emfinger concluded in Wednesday’s ruling that in both cases a local government was attempting to apply a non-conforming use ordinance on a lot-by-lot basis rather than applying it to the manufactured home park as a whole. “The issue before the court is almost identical,” Emfinger wrote in the latest ruling. Like Cleveland Mobile Home Park in Richland, the Pearl park “has a constitutional right to continue its enjoyment of its property and the action by the City is a violation of Homewood’s constitutional right to enjoy its property,” the judge said. Pearl’s action’s, he said, “would effectively destroy the mobile home park by attrition.” Pearl “may not enact, enforce and/or interpret the 2009 (zoning) ordinance so as to prevent the lawful continuation of a nonconforming use,” Emfinger said in concluding his ruling. Justin Peterson, general counsel for State Street Group, managers of the Groves Acres park, said Emfinger’s “decision speaks for itself,” and the park’s owners consider the case closed. “The court denied the city’s motion for additional briefing,” he said, referring to a mid August ruling from Emfinger. The Cleveland Mobile Home Park ruling presented a clear obstacle to Pearl’s hopes of prevailing in its fight with Grove Acres. It would have to show the Grove Acres case differed substantially from the Cleveland case, a difficult task considering that Emfinger had already signaled his intent to link the two cases. No ruling on Grove Acres would be made until the Supreme Court ruled on the Cleveland case, Emfinger said. He said he would accept no further motions until after the higher court ruled. Bobo, the Pearl city attorney, had hoped to persuade Emfinger not to allow Homewood Co. to “operate a trailer park full of potential death traps until the end of time.” Bobo argued that the Cleveland decision did not resolve issues raised in Pearl’s fight with Homewood, which bought the park at 2183 Old Brandon Road in 1998. For a start, Bobo said, Homewood failed to show that Grove Acres is “a lawful pre-existing use.” In its action against Cleveland Mobile Home Park, Richland erred by “suddenly attempting to place a new spin on a pre-existing 39-year-old zoning law.” Bobo said. By contrast, Pearl adopted a new zoning ordinance in 2009 excluding mobile home parks from commercial zones, a process that included several public hearings and guidance from experts in municipal planning. Once enacted, the city’s “exclusion of manufactured homes from commercial zones has been consistent and evenly applied,” he said. The Pearl city attorney wanted Emfinger to distinguish manufactured homes from other types of structures. “They are nothing like apartment buildings, parking garages or other fixed site-built structures,” Bobo said. In a tornado, people are better of lying in a ditch than remaining in a properly tied down mobile home, he claimed. Pearl’s “non site-built” homes “have historically tended to become eye-sores, a detriment on property values and to present a disproportionate drain on city services, including law enforcement,” Bobo said. | OTHERS |

| When it comes to skin care products, I’ve always been a little neurotic. I carefully read all the labels and take time to learn what each ingredient is. My rule of thumb is pretty simple—if I can’t pronounce the ingredient or if the name has more letters than the alphabet, it’s not going on me and it’s certainly not going to touch my baby. When it came time to decide which products I was going to use on my kids, my level of “need to know” was off the charts. I want to be assured that what I am putting on my little ones is 100% safe and 100% natural—no exceptions. My first baby had tough skin, so I never had to deal with diaper creams or ointments, but Blake is a different story. He is by far my sensitive one—inside and out! He battled diaper rashes right from the start, and I’ve tried pretty much every natural product to hit the market. Some worked and some didn’t, so when I was recently introduced to Maty’s Healthy Products, I liked what I saw. If this is the first time you are hearing about Maty’s Healthy Products, I’ll give you a little background on the company. It was founded by a mother who was determined to heal her daughter who was born with severe heart defects. After three surgeries before the age of five, her daughter developed alopecia and severe plaque psoriasis all over her body. Since there was no treatment appropriate for a child her age, her mother turned to a naturopathic doctor. She began her research, developed all natural products and shared them with her family and friends. After seeing how well her natural remedies worked, she launched Maty’s Healthy Products. None of their products contain hydrogenated oils, and they aren’t made with anything you wouldn’t be willing to eat. Maty’s Healthy Products is committed to providing families with safe and natural alternatives to help heal and put people on the path to better health. Pretty amazing, right? I put their baby ointment to the real test—Blake’s bottom. The first step was to look at the ingredients, and the list checked all my boxes—everything is all natural, and I recognized every item. There are no hidden ingredients or anything to question, which makes me feel good about using it on Blake. Ready for the best part? It left his bottom smooth, soft and rash-free, just as a baby’s bottom should be! I’ll spare you the picture—you’ll just have to take my word for it when I tell you that he was a happy little man! Want to learn more about Maty’s Healthy Products? You can visit their About Us section on their website to read their complete story and see their full list of products.

| While some attack the thin line that protects all Americans, Mike Rowe has come to the defense of America’s embattled police officers. Rowe recently posted on his Facebook page a tribute to police officers written by Paul Harvey and first posted on YouTube in 2013.
“What is a policeman made of?” wrote Harvey, the former radio journalist whose father was a police officer killed when Harvey was only 3. “He, of all men, is once the most needed and the most unwanted. He’s a strangely nameless creature who is ‘sir’ to his face and ‘fuzz’ to his back.”
“If you’ve seen this before, I suspect it’s been on your mind. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend it,” wrote Rowe, current host of CNN’s Somebody’s Gotta Do It and former host of the Discovery Channel series Dirty Jobs .
The post was a hit with Facebook readers.
“As a police officer I wanted to thank you for posting this. This narration is one of my favorites because it couldn’t be more true,” wrote Joseph Green. “I don’t know when exactly, or why for that matter, police have become demonized. It is very disheartening that the profession I chose because I felt it was very honorable has become a hot button issue and the impetus for moral strife. You wield tremendous power and influence over the public, whether you recognize it or not, and I wanted to let you know that I’m glad you brought this to the masses.”
Others were more succinct.
“Thanks to all the police officers that keep our streets safe and catch the bad guys,” wrote Amber Hopek.
”Thanks for reminding people that police are human beings who attempt to do super human things daily,” said Chandler Thomas.
Harvey’s tribute reflects the reality that in all times, police officers face the scrutiny of the public.
“Gulled statistics wave the fan over the stinkers, underscore instances of dishonesty and brutality because they are ‘new.’ What they really mean is that they are exceptional, unusual, not commonplace,” Harvey wrote. “Buried under the frost is the fact: Less than one-half of one percent of policemen misfit the uniform. That’s a better average than you’d find among clergy!”
Harvey then goes on to note the ways in which a police officer is expected to perform opposite tasks at the same time and is never given any credit when things go right, and only blame when they go wrong.
“The policeman must be a minister, a social worker, a diplomat, a tough guy and a gentleman,” Harvey concludes. “And, of course, he’d have to be genius. … For he will have to feed a family on a policeman’s salary.”

An unknown person shared the meme above and it's taken off in social media circles for several years, frequently passed around by gun advocates who believe we should all be toting weapons. Well, Facebook user Drew Shekler—who happens to be a Swiss citizen—responded and absolutely shredded the gun-happy meme. His response was shared by Facebook user Iysha La'Shaye Jackson and it's gone mega-viral from there: Maybe we should look to the Swiss for our guidance on our own gun laws and oh so much more! Special thanks to Drew and Iyasha for sharing and caring. the republicans and the right wing repeatedly make claims of we're number one, modified to make America great again did that go unnoticed by most we can't be it in one breath and aspire to be it in the next. of late we keep seeing other countries the republicans see as beneath us doing remarkable humane things, caring for their people with healthcare and education free in some places. migrant and immigrant acceptance while republicans want walls with a big beautiful door that's singular door for the 19,000 mile long wall, electrified fences 11 million deports in one fell swoop, and making other countries pay for their insanities. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/261-politics/72381319 | ENTERTAINMENT |

| Yes, you read that right, Lil Jon has created a keyboard app called Vext for iOS and Android. It lets you send video memes of Lil Jon doing what he does best – randomly shouting things like “What” and “Okay” – to your friends. Some of the other phrases are things like “Drink, drink, drink, drink” and “It’s called Google bitch.” You know, all the things you would usually text your mom. It’s not the most technologically advanced app in the world, but it’s entertaining and random enough that it could be really popular, especially since Lil Jon is known for his catchphrases. The producer and rapper didn’t go at it alone, he partnered with a developer from Mango Concept to create the app. Hopefully, we will get to see some other eccentric people added in the future. I’d like to see Snoop Dogg. ➤ Vext [iOS | Android] | ENTERTAINMENT |

| In the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling redefining marriage throughout the country , there's an open question as to what happens to people who believe marriage is the union of husband and wife.
Yesterday the Supreme Court declined to review a lower court's ruling requiring the county clerk of Rowan County, Ky., to issue marriage licenses to all legally eligible couples.
Kim Davis, the clerk for Rowan County, has a sincere religious belief that marriage is the union of husband and wife, and says she cannot in good faith issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple. As a result she stopped issuing marriage licenses to all couples (both same-sex and opposite-sex) after the Supreme Court's marriage ruling in June.
In this way she thought she would avoid the charge of discrimination.
She also wouldn't allow any other clerks in her office to issue marriage licenses. The result: no one could get a license in Rowan County.
This created a problem. The citizens of Rowan County have a right to receive in a timely and efficient manner the various government provisions -- including licenses -- to which they are entitled.
At the same time, the employees of Rowan County (including civil servants) have rights , including religious liberty rights, and they are entitled to religious accommodations. But a religious accommodation, like religious liberty in general, is not absolute.
The law requires a reasonable accommodation that does not place undue hardships on the employer -- in this case the government. Saying your religion requires your entire office to stop issuing marriage licenses to everyone, while perhaps a sincere belief, cannot be reasonably accommodated without placing undue hardships on the citizens unable to receive their licenses in their county and forced to drive to another.
That the clerk in Rowan County couldn't be accommodated does not mean that no clerk should ever be accommodated. Unfortunately, some activists on the left think all wedding professionals and civil servants should be forced to violate their beliefs about marriage or find a new line of work.
There's a better way.
As I explain in my new book, " Truth Overruled: The Future of Marriage and Religious Freedom ," there are ways in which public policy can create a win-win situation: where all eligible couples can receive a license and where as many employees as possible can be accommodated.
North Carolina provides a great example . The state legislature earlier this year passed a law that protects magistrates who object to performing solemnizing ceremonies for same-sex marriages and clerks who object to issuing same-sex marriage licenses. It also makes clear that no one can be denied a marriage license, but magistrates or clerks could recuse themselves from the process behind the scenes should they have sincere objections to same-sex marriage.
Again, it's a win-win for everyone. No one loses anything.
It's not just the North Carolina law. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires the government to accommodate conscientious objectors as best it can . Title VII applies to all employers, including the government, and requires that employers grant reasonable religious accommodations to employees, provided those accommodations don't create an undue hardship for the employer.
Professor Robin F. Wilson of the University of Illinois Law School writes , "A common refrain is that religious objectors in government service should do all of their job or resign. This stance conflates the public receipt of a service offered by the state with the receipt of that service from each and every employee in the office who is available to do it." In other words, as Wilson says, citizens have a claim to receive certain "services from the state, but they do not necessarily have a claim to receive the service from a particular public servant."
Religious objection is not a trump card, but employees' religious objections should be accommodated when possible.
The Rowan County clerk's demand couldn't be accommodated. But North Carolina provides a great model for achieving peaceful coexistence going forward.

| ASG President Sarah Zarr said plans for the year include increasing technology funding, ensuring campus safety and furthering existing programs. | File photo
With the 2015-16 academic year underway, the Colorado State University-Pueblo Associated Students’ Government is gearing up to address campus initiatives most important to students.
ASG President Sarah Zarr, a senior mass communications major elected last April, said she primarily wants the ASG to promote a culture that not only represents CSU-Pueblo students, but also connects them with their elected representatives.
“We have a strong focus on our slogan, ‘stronger as a pack,’” Zarr said. “We want to foster that spirit on campus that we are a community and we are stronger if we stick together.”
“We want people to have pack pride. We want to help you have fun but also help you get the experience necessary to develop as a person,” she said.
Some of the ASG’s major plans for the year include increases in funding for campus technology, ensuring advancements in campus safety and furthering popular student programs already in place.
“We have an unstoppable team this year that’s dedicated to the students,” Zarr said. “There’s so much passion, so much pride. People should expect to see a lot more action this year than years past.”
“We’re going to provide a better structure for ASG and a more consistent base going forward so students can always know what to expect,” she said.
One of the top priorities for the ASG this year will be to strengthen successful student programs already in place, such as the Student Emergency Fund, which helps students in crisis to secure funds in order to stay in college, and the Student Discount Program, which encourages students to venture off campus and utilize discounts for students within the Pueblo community.
A large part of furthering these programs is ensuring students know about them.

Perhaps the ASG’s highest priority, however, will be to cultivate a collaborative and interactive campus community, unparalleled by administrations of years past.
“We’ll provide open forums where students can give their input as well as seek to collaborate more with students, I’m also beginning a president’s council to connect all of CSU-P’s student organizations,” Zarr said. “We have a vibrant campus atmosphere so we want to foster this culture and spirit at CSU-P.”
Zarr said other ASG initiatives for 2015 will include tackling sexual assault preventability on campus, addressing mental health in order to, “break the stigma of mental health issues,” and furthering the university’s successful relationship with the Colorado Student Government Coalition in order to secure better funding for higher education in the state of Colorado.
Students who wish to be more involved in the CSU-Pueblo campus community are encouraged to get involved and voice their opinions to ASG members, as well as to Zarr herself.
“Students are always invited and encouraged to come to our senate meetings on Thursdays. Also in our office in the Occhiato University Center, there is always someone in the office from 8-5 to answer any questions students might have,” Zarr said. | EDUCATION |

| “When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby talk, when, in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk: culture-death is a clear possibility.”
—Author Neil Postman
Caught up in the spectacle of the forthcoming 2016 presidential elections, Americans (never very good when it comes to long-term memory) have not only largely forgotten last year’s hullabaloo over militarized police, police shootings of unarmed citizens, asset forfeiture schemes, and government surveillance but are also generally foggy about everything that has happened since.
Then again, so much is happening on a daily basis that it’s understandable if the average American has a hard time keeping up with and remembering all of the “events,” manufactured or otherwise, which occur like clockwork and keep us distracted, deluded, amused, and insulated from reality while the government continues to amass more power and authority over the citizenry.
In fact, when we’re being bombarded with wall-to-wall news coverage and news cycles that change every few days, it’s difficult to stay focused on one thing—namely, holding the government accountable to abiding by the rule of law—and the powers-that-be understand this.

| Part 1: Jobs!
Part 2: Education!
Back in 2011, this Gahan campaign mailer touted the boilerplate endorsement of Lee Hamilton, and revealed the Gahan campaign's three primary tenets ...
... which we were asked to "work together" to achieve.
Creating and keeping good-paying jobs Improving our education system Ensuring that government works for all of us Since January 1, 2012, the city's budget has effectively doubled. Somewhere between $30 and $40 million has been spent on projects like the water park (mentioned by Gahan ever so briefly during the sole 2011 mayoral debate, accompanied by a long forgotten promise to also improve the library), Main Street beautification (filched from state-provided Hwy 111 maintenance monies) and the same old payoffs to cash-rich, big-time property developers (Flaherty Collins from Indianapolis) while local companies do the heavy lifting of grassroots redevelopment on their own.
Untold millions later, here's an overview of reality, in which not even the first truly fundamental improvement has been instigated:
Pillsbury's leaving, and the new north side industrial park remains empty. There is no economic development strategy apart from the the usual abatements and subsidies. The school corporation remains aloof, and there has been no Gahan-led discussion about education. By any rational human standard, the Gahan administration has been the least transparent in our city's history. But there's more. Let's throw in those promises made privately,as in my own discussions with Gahan in 2011, such as a supposed determination to do more to support independent local business, and to bring about two-way streets -- neither of which has been deemed anywhere close to a priority these past four years.
Gahan made plenty of promises in 2011, both publicly and privately. He hasn't followed through on very many of them. In fact, he'd barely settled into his office chair before an entirely new set of priorities became evident,most of them predicated on non-sustainable spending.
If you cast your ballot for Gahan in 2011 based on promises like these, which he didn't keep, I'd suggest you approach this year's self-congratulatory bromides with extreme caution, and consider shifting to an alternative. | POLITICS |

| The sound of kids playing meant nothing to me a few years before.... I didn't care for it at all... in fact there were days i would hate it... but today... every time i hear this little squeal, this little laugh... i run to my window... just to see his tiny little face scrunched up in laughter... or him running (read hopping) behind all the other kids....
he loves going down to play... he gets lazy about it before he actually goes (gone on his mum there i think!!!) he fights it everyday....
But once he's down... he runs around and shouts in glee!!!
And going down and playing is really something i encourage... not just for my sanity... but for him..
He gets some fresh air... he gets to run around and use his body... he gets to meet and interact with other kids of various ages ....
He runs behind the older boys.. They hi fi and fist bump him... he sits and chats with the little girls, makes them giggle... plays with Preeti, his nanny...
He gets to meet all the doggies who come for their evening walk.. he gets to play with sticks and make up stories about the forest like mangrove in front of our house...
You now whats really funny is that the bike he rides (mum, don't you dare say anything about this bike) has an arm rest... So mister sits back with his arms well rested while Preeti well, pushes him around!!
its hilarious how all the other nannies tell me "your son sits like one king and gets pushed around"!!!!!
ha ha ha ha!!
I wasn't a very outdoorsey kinda girl.. I'm still not... camping and mountains aren't really my thing... I'm more of a beach bum... never move kinda girl... i remember my brother used to be out all day playing with the kids in the area... running, skating, bicycling... i on the other hand spent my days in my room pretending to be a dancer or a cook or a magician and all sorts of other strange and funny things.... If you ever saw me out it was because my mum had thrown me out...
And i don't want that for siddy at all... being a boy, i have a feeling he might have way too much energy to stay home, but still i really hope he loves being out...
Luckily Aadi was a very run around, play basketball cricket kind of guy.... he loved cycling and playing with the boys... so hopefully siddy will get it from there....!
But till he starts actually playing games... I will enjoy standing near the window and watching him hop around the other kids... enjoying himself...
Funny story:
He has this blue ball that all the kids seem to like a lot... so Preeti told me , the other day while he was on his cycle. the big boys took the ball and started playing foot ball.. when he saw them he got off the cycle and went to them to play, but because they were really kicking the ball around, they told him to stand back, the genuinely didn't want him to get hurt... what does mister do?
He picks up his ball, frowns and tells Preeti " lets go home" and he actually came up!!!!
Hilaroius no?!!
Its good... for all of you who have met siddy know he's very soft with people, almost gets bullied around... so its good he's learning to be assertive... and just to be nice, i sent a box of popcorn down for all the kids the next day... so he learnt to share as well!!!
So you see, going down and playing is good... for everyone!!!!!! | OTHERS |

The Syrian people including women and children where in the streets asking for the corrupt Assad regime to step down. The Syrian People had watched Tunisia and Egypt’s Arab spring and we're hopeful that the dynasty of another Assad regime would end. After all it was only decades that this Assad Regime has been in office. It was Moscow with there only Mediterranean naval base that decided they could not lose the Assad regime. So the Russian Special Forces arrived on a Saturday and that Wednesday the massacres began. The Assad Syrian government with the guidance of Moscow decided to take back the streets from the people. Including a Syrian Government tank running over a boy on a bicycle. And so it began. This is the truth behind what actually happened in Syria. So know we had the Syrian army with the help of the Russian Special Forces. Pretty soon Iran was invited into Syria also. At this time Syria with the Assad regime where thrown out of the Arab League, due to the brutality of one man on his own people. I soon called for a no fly zone and to control the borders both land and naval. I knew this would be the only way to stop Moscow and Tehran from bolstering the Assad regime. Senator John McCain called for a no fly also and to arm the Syrian Rebels. Unfortunately the White House had no intention of going so far as we both called for. It took many months for the White House to supply arms. First it was all talk, and finally decided to send arms. Allowing the USA to supply AK 47’s and communication gear to the Syrian Rebels. You can’t win a War with AK 47’s. Syrian army had helicopters which Moscow after the Massacre decided to fly in along with helicopter parts. Russia from the beginning was supplying arms and support to the Assad Syrian regime. This allowed the Syrian army to control the skies over Syria. Allowing the government to use the helicopter to kill the Syrian People. In the Afghanistan War with Russia, it was President Reagan that supplied Shoulder rocket missiles to the Afghanistan Rebels. Allowing the Afghan Rebels the ability to destroy the Russian helicopters. It was this act that made Moscow think about the War after the invaded Afghanistan and soon would retreat due to the overwhelming response from the Russian people who were getting upset with the War dead returning home. But the White House only supplied AK 47’s even years into the Syrian War. The truth is very simple. Moscow wanted to keep its only naval base and did all it could to keep it. It should be noted that just this week China has sent their Aircraft carrier to the Syrian Port that Russia now controls. Moscow did all it could including a veto in the United Nations Security Council on tough action against Syria for destroying it own people. The truth is the Arab League throw out Syria. It should have been then that the USA should have stood up to the Assad (the second) regime. But it did not. The tragedy in Syria is the direct involvement of Moscow and the lack of strength from the White House. Today September 27th 2015 we have a Syria which at this point should really be called “Little Russia”. I am sure Moscow will create a large military presence in Syria. With a large military complex and plans on being there for years to come. Just like the USA created a military complex in Germany after World War II, I see Russia military complex to be in Syria for years if not decades to come. So I guess we can point fingers and blame other countries for what is a Syria of ash or we can find a way to move forward and bring a People back home. S. J. O. K. | POLITICS |

| Zendaya Coleman Not Having The Racism Crap - Kudos For Her On Tuesday's episode of 'E! News,' Giuliana Rancic made a public apology, taking some time out of the broadcast to address the controversy.
"I want to apologize for a comment I made on last night's 'Fashion Police' about Zendaya's hair," she said. "As you know, 'Fashion Police' is a show that pokes fun at celebrities in good spirit, but I do understand that something I said last night did cross the line. I just want everyone to know, I didn't intend to hurt anybody. But I've learned it's not my intent that matters, it's the result, and the result is that people are offended, including Zendaya, and that is not okay. Therefore, I want to say to Zendaya, and anyone else out there that I have hurt, that I am so, so sincerely sorry. This really has been a learning experience for me."
AFP
So what really happened?
Zendaya debuted a new hair look on the Oscars red carpet: dreadlocks! She looked gorgeous, pairing the statement hairstyle with dewy makeup and bold brows.
The lissome and lovely Disney actress and pop singer caused a stir on the red carpet in a figure-hugging ivory-toned Vivienne Westwood slip of a goddess gown.
But what spoiled the fun was Giuliana Rancic's racial slur.
The E! show 'Fashion Police' is notoriously irreverent, harsh, even mean - those words are practically in the show's mission statement.
AFP
But when Giuliana Rancic said 18-year-old actress-singer Zendaya's dreadlocked hair probably "smells like patchouli oil" or "weed," many people felt the comment went too far.
Zendaya reacted to the comments by taking to Twitter and Instagram.
"To say that an 18 year old young woman with locs must smell of patchouli oil or 'weed' is not only a large stereotype but outrageously offensive," she wrote.
"There is already harsh criticism of African American hair in society without the help of ignorant people who chose to judge others based on the curl of their hair," reads part of the Disney star's post.

Since then, Zendaya has changed her main Twitter picture to herself at the Oscars, rocking the locs, plus uploaded a cover photo of fans who've posted social-media selfies of their same hairdo, in support of the 'K.C. Undercover' actress.
Celebrities including 'Selma' director Ava DuVernay and 'Scandal' actress Kerry Washington responded to Zendaya, praising her reaction.
"You're beautiful, Queen. We bless the ignorant and wish them well. Onward. xo," reads DuVernay's tweet.
Actress Chloe Grace Moretz tweeted "... people need to grow up, realize it's 2015, and act like it. Beautifully written."
AFP
Rancic apologized on Twitter, saying "I'm sorry I offended you and others. I was referring to a bohemian chic look. Had NOTHING to do with race and NEVER would!!!"
Despite Rancic's apology, many still feel it wasn't enough. Tuesday morning on 'The View,' Rosie Perez said the apology doubled down on the insult. "Everyone who's bohemian chic looks like they smoke weed and smells like patchouli?" she asked.
Whoopi Goldberg also weighed in on the subject, reminding Rancic of her own hairstyle, and adding that the only person who can pull off such caustic remarks is 'Fashion Police's' former host Joan Rivers.
"If you ain't Joan Rivers, back up, Giuliana," she added.
Even fellow 'Fashion Police" co-host Kelly Osbourne has voiced concern over the comment, tweeting that she is "seriously questioning staying on the show" as a result of the incident.
After receiving a lot of negative comments on Twitter, she wrote: "I WILL NOT BE DRAGED INTO THIS! The situation is being rectified like ADULTS by both parties. I hope you can leave it to them & do the same!
"you guys do realize that @Zendaya is my friend right?
"Im giving everyone involved 24 hours to make it right or the world will hear how I really feel. contactually Im not allowed to speak!
"I DID NOT MAKE THE WEED COMENT. I DO NOT CONDONE RACISM SO AS A RSULT OF THIS IM SEREIOULSY QUESTIONONIG STAYING ON THE SHOW! (Sic)." 2:10 PM | ENTERTAINMENT |

| Gotham has released a video from next Monday’s episode, “Knock Knock.” It shows just how sick the Arkham escapees are… and they are just getting started. Jerome Valeska (Cameron Monaghan), Arnold Dobkins (Will Brill), Aaron Helzinger (Stink Fisher), Robert Greenwood (Dustin Ybarra), Richard Sionis (well… not anymore Todd Stashwick), and Barbara Kean (Erin Richards), are the “maniax.”
Check out the Maniax trailer plus some “Look Ahead” videos below.
I’ve already watched next week’s episode (review on Monday morning), and you are all in for such a fun and shocking treat! After it was over, I just sat there. I could not believe what I had just watched. Jerome is the obvious leader of the group, but Theo Galavan (James Frain) is the cool mastermind, that will take over this city. I saw someone post yesterday that Gotham made 2014’s least interesting character, Barbara Kean, into 2015’s most interesting character, and she was right. I am fascinated by this Barbara. She and Tabitha Galavan (Tigress – Jessica Lucas) make a sexy evil pair… with whips.
“They want mass panic. They want headlines.”
So much so, they create those headlines with letters painted on the people they threw off a building, at the perfect angles.
The trailer shows flashes of scenes from the first and second episodes of the season, and also what is to come.
Speaking of what is to come, the other two videos have Sean Pertwee and Ben McKenzie, respectively speaking on the story arcs that are on store for their characters. This is going to be a volatile season.
Gotham airs Monday nights at 8pm ET on FOX.
Videos
GOTHAM | The Maniax Red Band Trailer

GOTHAM | A Look Ahead: Bruce & Alfred
Sean Pertwee looks ahead at what’s next for Bruce & Alfred in season two of GOTHAM.
GOTHAM | A Look Ahead: Gordon
Ben McKenzie looks ahead at what’s next for Gordon in season two of GOTHAM.

| Let's give the schedule-makers credit, setting up a showdown between the first overall pick of the 2015 NFL draft (Winston) against the second pick (Mariota) in the first game of the regular season is a stroke of marketing genius. The two quarterbacks have been the subject of comparisons ever since announcing they would enter the draft. Winston was projected to be the most "NFL ready" of the two, but Mariota looked better and more consistent than Winston during preseason play. The preseason stuff is history and Sunday's game is the real deal. Regardless of who produces better statistics and which team wins the game, the comparisons between the two will continue throughout their entire careers. If you want to watch the Mariota vs. Winston showdown, here's what you need to know. What: Tennessee Titans at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Where: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa Bay, Florida When: Sunday, Sept. 13 at 1 p.m. PT Television: KOIN-TV (6) Watch online: NFL game pass on nflnetwork.com. (Note: Games ARE NOT streamed live. According to the website, Sunday morning and afternoon games are available at the conclusion of all Sunday 4pm ET games. Sunday night, Monday night, Thursday and Saturday NFL games are available following the conclusion of the applicable game telecast) -- Geoffrey C. Arnold | @geoffreyCarnold | SPORTS |
