Alternative Rock Band The Kills And Seagram's 7 Crown Salute Dive Bars Across The Country With Re-Mastered Jukebox Tunes For National Dive Bar Day
PR Newswire June 13, 2019
The Indie rock duo will re-release two re-mastered songs available complimentary to consumers on participating TouchTunes jukeboxes nationwide, including dive bars, on July 7
NORWALK, Conn., June 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- From your favorite casual dive to your neighborhood pub, Seagram's 7 Crown toasts watering holes across the country for its second annual National Dive Bar Day celebration on July 7. This year, the American whiskey is collaborating with indie rock duo, The Kills, to re-release two songs the band re-mastered for dive bar jukeboxes nationwide. On July 7, dive bar goers can raise a glass to these beloved American institutions while enjoying The Kills' re-released versions of Blue Moon and Night Train, complimentary to consumers across targeted TouchTunes jukeboxes in honor of National Dive Bar Day.

The re-released versions of Blue Moon and Night Train were re-mastered specifically for TouchTunes dive bar jukeboxes, honoring the laid-back and often historic hidden gems where The Kills got their start. Both songs will also be cut on a limited edition 7" vinyl record for the very first time in the U.S. and available at events on National Dive Bar Day in these seven cities: Dallas, TX; Denver, CO; Jacksonville, FL; Nashville, TN; New York, NY; Sacramento, CA and Seattle, WA.
"Dive bars are about getting together with friends and enjoying great music over a simple, straightforward drink, like a 7 & 7," said Diageo Brand Director Jason Sorley. "We're honored to work with The Kills this National Dive Bar Day to celebrate our favorite dives and shine a light on what makes them so great. We hope everyone will join us in supporting their local hangout on July 7 so that dive bars everywhere can continue to thrive."
Seagram's 7 Crown started National Dive Bar Day last year, fittingly taking place on July 7 in honor of the quintessential dive bar drink, the 7 & 7. National Dive Bar Day, which is officially recognized by the National Day Calendar, is part of the brand's year-round commitment to its Save the Dive Bar initiative.
"We're thrilled to collaborate with Seagram's 7 for National Dive Bar Day and give these songs new energy as a toast to dive bars everywhere. Blue Moon and Night Train were written in dive bars, so this seemed like a perfect tribute," said Alison Mosshart, lead vocalist for The Kills. "There's such a rich history and feeling of inclusiveness that has always attracted us to these types of places. We've seen some of our favorite spots close over the years, which is just another reason why Seagram's 7's mission to Save the Dive Bar really hit home," added lead guitarist for The Kills, Jamie Hince.
While they were recorded several years apart, both Blue Moon and Night Train were produced at Key Club in Benton Harbor, Michigan, where Mosshart and Hince spent time between sessions hitting up the local dive bar scene. Sonically, the two songs are very different, but the re-mastered versions bring them closer together, pairing two moments in time that were instrumental in the band's growth.
Seagram's 7 Crown is a carefully blended American whiskey aged in oak with a rich and casual history. The whiskey shares a storied past with dive bars, as both have been an integral part of American drinking culture. To learn more about National Dive Bar Day and the Save the Dive Bar initiative, adults 21 and older can visit seagrams7.com or follow the #NationalDiveBarDay conversation on social media. And, don't forget to head to your local dive bar on July 7 to responsibly enjoy a 7 & 7 and ensure all our favorite dive bars live to see another day.

Rock Out With Fleetwood Mac At BB&T Center
FleetwoodMac-Slide-f66ac0339b_copy_opt.jpg
Lindsey Buckingham may have gone his own way after more than 40 years with Fleetwood Mac, but the iconic band still knows how to put on a show with style and substance.
The new lineup of Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood and newcomers Mike Campbell and Neil Finn has embarked on a tour of more than 50 cities.
Nicks explained the group's endurance to Rolling Stone: "We don't want to stop playing music. We don't have anything else to do. This is what we do."
Among the lucky venues: the BB&T Center in Sunrise, which rolls out the red carpet on Feb. 20 at 8 p.m. for the group.
The band knew fans would have lots of questions, so it took to its website to explain its new look.
"Fleetwood Mac has always been about an amazing collection of songs that are performed with a unique blend of talents. We jammed with Mike and Neil and the chemistry really worked," noted Fleetwood. "We know we have something new yet it's got the unmistakable Mac sound."
The group, which has sold more than 100 million records, recently celebrated its 50th anniversary.
In November, it released a new 50-song collection that explores the group's entire career, "from its early days playing the blues to its global success as one of the most-enduring and best-selling bands in rock history."
The group - which is no stranger to controversy and change - has embraced its new look.
"Fleetwood Mac has always been a creative evolution. We look forward to honoring that spirit on this upcoming tour," it notes on the website. O

Snopes Attacks WashTimes, Daily Wire on Frederica Wilson's Gaffe on Censoring Mockery
Newsbusters.org
The "fact checkers" at Snopes.com are running to the defense of liberal Democrats again in a July 10 post headlined "Did Rep. Frederica Wilson Advocate Prosecuting People Who 'Make Fun' of Congress?"
The answer is yes. But David Mikkelsen at Snopesinsisted "context is key," that conservative media outlets like the Washington Times and the Daily Wire skipped over how Wilson was responding to rude Facebook memes.
What Wilson said was an obvious fact:
"Those people who are online making fun of members of Congress are a disgrace. And there's no need for anyone to think that is unacceptable. [?] We're gonna shut them down! And work with whoever it is to shut them down, and they should be prosecuted! You cannot intimidate members of Congress, threaten members of Congress. It is against the law, and it's a shame in this United States of America."
In the Democrat's defense, Snopes actually turned to FoxNews.com, which added "Wilson's comments came amid a controversy over a Facebook group that includes Border Patrol agents and where they allegedly mocked and posted graphic content about members of Congress, including New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez."
The liberal journalism site ProPublica reported that a secret Facebook group apparently for current and former Border Patrol officers included rude messages about how someone should "throw a burrito" at Latina members of Congress and included memes about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez performing oral sex on an immigrant, or on the president. There is no evidence provided that these Facebook posters were actual Border Patrol officers, or just someone who was admitted to the group.
Even if you insist that Wilson was referring to the ProPublica story, rude oral-sex memes do not constitute a threat. Throwing burritos at officials would be violence, but making burrito-throwing jokes on Facebook inside a secret group isn't a message directly threatening a legislator. Wilson could only feel threatened after reading a ProPublica article that was created to promote a liberal message against Border Patrol officers.
Snopes links to Wikipedia's article when it throws the word "illegal," but it's clear from that article that most of the violent talk and harassment and doxxing directed at legislators in the Trump era is committed by the Left.
Trying to provide "context" to this liberal gaffe isn't a "fact check." It's a "let's add context" spin on behalf of gaffe-prone Democrats.

Notes from the Editors
December 2015 (Volume 67, Number 7)
Topics: Imperialism Marxism Socialism War Places: Americas Asia Indonesia United States
In this issue we feature two articles on the 1965–1966 mass killings and imprisonments in Indonesia. The army-led bloodbath was aimed at the near-total extermination of members of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), then a highly successful electoral party with a membership in the millions.… In all, an estimated 500,000 to a million (or more) people were murdered. Another 750,000 to a million-and-a-half people were imprisoned, many of whom were tortured. Untold thousands died in prison. Only around 800 people were given a trial—most brought before military tribunals that summarily condemned them to death.… The United States…was involved clandestinely in nearly every part of this mass extermination: compiling lists of individuals to be killed; dispatching military equipment specifically designated to aid the known perpetrators of the bloodletting; offering organizational and logistical help; sending covert operatives to aid in the "cleansing"; and providing political backing to the killers.… [T]he mass killings…[were carried out with the active] complicity of the U.S. media. | more…
Marxism and Ecology
Common Fonts of a Great Transition
by John Bellamy Foster
Topics: Ecology Marxist Ecology Political Economy Places: Bolivia Global
To link Marxism and ecological transition may seem at first like trying to bridge two entirely different movements and discourses, each with its own history and logic: one having mainly to do with class relations, the other with the relation between humans and the environment. However, historically socialism has influenced the development of ecological thought and practice, while ecology has informed socialist thought and practice. Since the nineteenth century, the relationship between the two has been complex, interdependent, and dialectical.… This essay unearths the deep ecological roots of Marx's thought, showing how he brought an environmental perspective to bear on the overarching question of social transformation. From there it traces the evolution of Marxian ecology, illuminating its profound, formative link to modern ecological economics and systems ecology. It concludes with the wider project of building the broad and deep social movement required to halt and reverse ecological and social destruction. | more…

An Interview with Tan Swie Ling on the 1965 Mass Killings in Indonesia
by Intan Suwandi
Topics: Imperialism Marxism War Places: Americas Asia Indonesia United States
In the early morning of October 1, 1965, self-proclaimed left-wing troops raided the houses of seven top army generals in Jakarta. In the process, six of the generals were killed—three were shot during the kidnapping attempt, while the others were taken to Lubang Buaya, an air force base located in the south of Jakarta, and then killed. The seventh general, Nasution, managed to escape. The perpetrators announced on national radio that they were troops loyal to President Sukarno, and they aimed to protect the president from the danger posed by the right-wing "Council of Generals"—who, they said, were planning to launch a military coup d'état.… This movement was very short-lived. Within one day, it collapsed. Major General Suharto…took control of the army during the morning of October 1 and quickly crushed the movement.… [W]hat happened on October 1, 1965 marked the fall of Sukarno and the rise of Suharto, who was soon to rule Indonesia under his military dictatorship for more than three decades. The brutality of Suharto's New Order is probably not news for people familiar with Indonesia. But there is "an episode the West would prefer to forget," as journalist John Pilger put it, that accompanied Suharto's rise to power: the destruction of Communism and the mass killings that followed—a phenomenon claimed by Time magazine in 1966 as "The West's best news for years in Asia." | more…
The United States and the 1965–1966 Mass Murders in Indonesia
by Bradley Simpson

On October 1, 1965, the teletype in the White House relayed the account of a supposed "coup" by a group of Indonesian army officers calling themselves the September 30th Movement. In Jakarta the movement, which had begun the night before under the alleged leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Untung with the kidnapping and killing of six generals of the Indonesian Army High Command, was already unraveling. The September 30th Movement was a relatively small-scale affair. It was poorly planned and so clumsily executed that it seemed almost preordained to fail. Major General Suharto…took control of the army, and blamed what he labeled a "coup attempt" entirely on the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). Within two weeks, a much more momentous army-led and U.S.-backed movement to exterminate the PKI and its supporters was under way. Working with Muslim organizations, student groups, and other anti-Communist organizations, the army proceeded over the next five months to murder hundreds of thousands of unarmed, alleged PKI members. The slaughter paved the way for the army's ouster of Sukarno in March 1966, its ascension to power, and the reconfiguration of Indonesian politics and foreign policy.… The liquidation of the PKI in Indonesia was "perhaps the greatest setback for Communism in the Third World in the 1960s" and an event with enormous implications for each of the Great Powers. | more…
Laudato Si—The Pope's Anti-Systemic Encyclical
by Michael Löwy
Topics: Climate Change Culture Ecology Education Places: Bolivia Global
Pope Francis's "ecological encyclical" is an event which—whether taken from a religious, ethical, social, or political point of view—is of planetary importance. Considering the enormous influence of the Catholic Church worldwide, it is a crucial contribution towards the development of a critical ecological consciousness. It was received with enthusiasm by the true defenders of the environment; however it aroused uneasiness and rejection among religious conservatives, representatives of capital, and ideologues of "market ecology." It is a document with a great richness and complexity, one that proposes a new interpretation of the Judeo-Christian tradition, a rupture with the "promethean dream of dominion over the world," and a profoundly radical reflection on the causes of the ecological crisis. Many aspects of liberation theology…can be seen as a source of inspiration here, particularly the inseparable.… In the following brief notes, I am interested in emphasizing the aspect of the encyclical that explains the resistance it has found in the economic and media establishment: its anti-systemic character. | more…
A Question of Place

Topics: Capitalism Democracy Movements Political Economy Places: Americas United States
On February 29, 2000, a first-grader in the Buell Elementary School in Flint took a semi-automatic rifle to school and fatally shot his classmate, six-year-old Kayla Rolland. Since then, there have been countless stories about the tragedy in the media. Those I have read or heard have focused on the chaos in the boy's family and/or guns in the home and community. All have avoided saying that Buell School is in Flint. Instead they have located it in "Mt. Morris Township, somewhere near Flint."… Buell Elementary School is in the Flint Beecher school district, and has a Flint address and a Flint phone number. But Flint officials, in collusion with GM, deny that Buell is in Flint, which has been known as Buick City. They want to dissociate GM from the devastation and violence that have overtaken the city since the Buick plant closed down.… I was in Flint a couple of weeks before the Buell shooting and GM's responsibility for the city's disintegration is as plain as day. A generation ago, Flint was a thriving working-class town. Now the abandoned Buick plant, spread out over an area as large as Detroit's downtown, sits like a ghostly monster in the midst of empty parking lots, surrounded by block after block of tiny houses, little more than shacks, which once housed GM workers. No wonder Flint suffers from one of the highest per capita rates of murder, rape, and theft in the country. | more…
Reconstructing Marx's Critique of Political Economy from His London Notebooks

Lucia Pradella, Globalization and the Critique of Political Economy: New Insights from Marx's Writings (London: Routledge, 2015), 218 pages, $160, hardback.
In 2012, the second section of the new historical-critical edition of Marx and Engels's complete writings, the Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe (MEGA), was finally completed, and all the editions and manuscripts of Capital became available in order to trace Marx's own theoretical development and Engels's editorial works. The remaining three sections are, however, only halfway completed, and it will likely take at least another twenty years before all the work is finished.… What is more, a great number of them are Marx's journal fragments and excerpts, which have not yet been published in any language. In this sense, the distinct importance of continuing the MEGA project is the further publication of these unknown notebooks, which promise to reveal Marx's unfinished undertaking, the critique of political economy.… It is therefore no coincidence that a new trend has emerged in the last few years of scholars studying Marx's notebooks. Works like Kevin Anderson's Marx at the Margins, Heather Brown's Marx on Gender, and my own article on Liebig in Monthly Review have shown the underestimated theoretical dimensions of anti-colonialism, gender, and ecology in Marx's thought. | more…

To understand why the Middle East is now in shambles, with the United States currently involved simultaneously in wars against both the Assad government in Syria and the Islamic State in Iraq, generating the greatest refugee crisis in Europe since the Second World War, it is necessary to go back almost a quarter-century to the 1991 Persian Gulf War. The Gulf War, unleashed by the United States in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, was made possible by the growing disorder in the USSR followed by its demise later that same year. The USSR's disappearance from the world stage allowed the United States to shift to a naked imperialist stance—though justified in the manner of the colonial empires of old as "anti-terrorism" and "humanitarian intervention"—not only in the Middle East, but also along the entire great arc that had constituted the perimeter of the former Soviet Union. | more…
The Great Capitalist Climacteric

Topics: Climate Change Ecology Marxist Ecology Places: Bolivia Global
Humanity today is confronted with what might be called the Great Capitalist Climacteric. In the standard definition, a climacteric (from the Greek klimaktēr or rung on the ladder) is a period of critical transition or a turning point in the life of an individual or a whole society. From a social standpoint, it raises issues of historical transformation in the face of changing conditions. In the 1980s environmental geographers Ian Burton and Robert Kates referred to "the Great Climacteric" to address what they saw as the developing global ecological problem of the limits to growth…. I will use the term the Great Capitalist Climacteric here to refer to the necessary epochal social transition associated with the current planetary emergency. It refers both to the objective necessity of a shift to a sustainable society and to the threat to the existence of Homo sapiens (as well as numerous other species) if the logic of capital accumulation is allowed to continue dictating to society as a whole. The current world of business as usual is marked by rapid climate change, but also by the crossing or impending crossing of numerous other planetary boundaries that define "a safe operating space for humanity." | more…
Whither Japan? Seven Decades After Defeat

The hard-won lessons of Japan's wartime defeat are enshrined in its National Constitution and Article 9 in particular.… For the past seventy years, Article 9 remained a fundamental principle of Japanese diplomacy, undergirded by memories of the Asia-Pacific War and the U.S. occupation, buttressed by important revisionist histories of Japanese imperialism. A politically recovered, economically restored Japanese populace still appreciates the Constitution and the relevance of Article 9. But conservative politicians who never believed in the Constitution's ideals repeatedly challenged and worked around Article 9 despite the majority's support for it.… Today, once again, Article 9 stands in danger of abandonment by interpretation rather than revision by constitutional processes. | more…

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, elements within the U.S. ruling class came to believe that their country was militarily invincible. Indeed, they believed this newfound military superiority over any potential rival was something new in human history. So great was its technological advantage, the United States could destroy its enemies with complete impunity. A long-heralded Revolution in Military Affairs was taking place, enabling the United States to reshape the world. New smart technologies would disperse the "fog of war," making it possible for the United States to kill its enemies without their being able to strike back, and the "Vietnam syndrome" could be overcome once and for all.… Even so, at this point in time, the U.S. government proceeded with considerable caution. The then-secretary of defense, Dick Cheney no less, made clear that the United States did not invade and occupy Iraq at this time because of the danger of finding itself in a "quagmire" where it would be taking casualties while the Kurds, the Shia, and the Sunnis fought it out. The administration decided not to involve itself in "that civil war." Such a commitment would have had to involve the use of "overwhelming force" for an extended period if it was to have any chance of success. This was in 1991. Ten years later such caution had been replaced by an overweening self-confidence, by a belief that the United States could completely reshape the Middle East, starting with Iraq, and then moving on to Syria and Iran. And, moreover, this could all be achieved with a comparatively small invading and occupying army. | more…

This range is known as the Goldilocks Zone. Temperatures that allow for liquid water are considered "just right" because life as we know it requires water. And so, in the search for extraterrestrial life, scientists are searching for planets in the "Goldilocks zone" around stars, where the temperature is just right—not too hot and not too cold—for liquid water. A habitable zone, also called the "Goldilocks zone", is the area around a star where it is not too hot and not too cold for liquid water to exist on the surface of surrounding planets.

I wasn't too sure how to score Minor Teleport, but, given the fact that you can only use it as a bonus action and can't move before or after it's used, I couldn't see why it should be more than 0.5.
Lastly is Psionic Power. I used the score for Innate Spellcasting (1.5) given how it was written with gaining new Psionic Powers as you leveled.
-MetalShadowOverlord (talk) 13:34, 14 March 2018 (MDT)
Below is the post I had here originally, stating why I designed the race the way I did before changes were made.
So I figured I'd start this discussion page off by explaining a few things, like why I designed this the way I did, along with some trivia:
Physical Description: I included a bit about shiny coloration. The part about the gardevoir with red hair and skin is a reference to Pokken Tournament, which is also why I mention how it was said to be a great fighter.
History: The idea of a shiny Gardevoir fighting a Volcanion was meant to be a reference to the Pokemon TCG, namely "Steam Siege", as the following is written on the back of the Elite Trainer Box:
"Dual powers clash! Long years of stability come to an end when shiny Mega Gardevoir-EX lays Siege to the Mighty Gear Palace with a host of greedy forces. The mythical steam pokémon Volcanion must wield the dual powers of fire and water to stop them! As the battle rages, Xerneas break and Yveltal break face off in the Pokémon TCG: XY—Steam Siege expansion!"
Also, one of the Japanese booster packs for Steam Siege (which has a shiny mega Gardevoir on it) is called "Cruel Traitor".
Society: Although you usually find Ralts in forests, I included "urban areas" as a reference to how FireRed and LeafGreen classifies the Ralts' line habitat.
Abilities: Because Gardevoir is a protective pokemon, I figured I'd trying making a version of Protection that takes Gardevoir's psychic typing into account. There's also "Telepathic Dodge", which was intended to act similarly to the ability Telepathy (which I obviously couldn't use since there's a spell by the same name), which allows a pokemon with said ability to avoid damage from attacks made by ally pokemon that would otherwise hit it. I can understand if these need to be nerfed or removed entirely, especially Telepathic Dodge since I'm unsure if I worded it properly, or if it would work. Psychic Antidote and Fairy Skin are based on how effective Poison type attacks are against Psychic and Fairy types. not only that, but Fairy Skin is the Japanese name for the ability Pixilate. Despair Ray's and Dazzling Gleam's exclusivity to certain alignments was based on the idea of the shiny gardevoir mentioned in the History section, and because I couldn't imagine someone being Lawful Good and using a move called Despair Ray (which, in itself, is a slightly modified version of Ray of Sickness, which is a spell anyone can learn regardless of alignment). Dazzling Gleam was given alignment exclusivity so Good aligned characters could have something. Plus I wanted to give players (especially ones playing True Neutral characters) a choice: Do you want a move that affects one creature at long range or many at a short range?
I was also going to include Mega Evolution, but didn't want to make a page for Gardevoirite since I was unsure if my idea behind it would work for DnD. Here is what I had planned:
Mega Evolution. If you have a Gardevoirite in your possession, you can choose to Mega Evolve, but you may only do so during combat. You undergo the following changes: Your body loses all of it's green, except for your hair, your dress-skin puffs out, making it appear as though you are wearing a ballroom gown*, the uppermost of your feather-ears curve in a way that makes it look like you have small devil-like horns. Lastly, your chest-horn has split, giving the appearance of a butterfly opening it's wings. Your Intelligence increases by +2, but your Constitution decreases by -2. You also gain the ability Hyper Voice, which affects an area 20 ft around you and makes a noise that can be heard 150 ft away. Each creature in the area must make a Constitution saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a failed save, each creature takes 4d6 Thunder Damage and is deafened. On a successful save, the creature only takes half damage and is not deafened. You may only use this ability once every time you Mega Evolve, and you may only Mega Evolve once every 3 days. Mega Evolution ends after 3 turns or when combat ends.
If you choose to play as a "shiny" Gardevoir (blue hair, light purple skin, etc), your dress-skin and the lower arms turn black.
I had thought about writing something that allowed Mega Evolution to be performed outside of combat, but since you can only do this when in battle in the actual Pokemon games, I decided against it. Additionally, I did not make it so you had to use an action to Mega Evolve for the same reason, though I probably should have.
Lastly, I wrote the languages the way I did since I could not get languages to show up in the subrace sections.
What do you guys think? -MetalShadowOverlord (talk) 03:03, 3 August 2017 (MDT)
Just here to say that in ORAS, the Lati@s Mega-Evolves when you use the Eon Flute, so it might be possible for Pokemon to Mega-evolve outside of battle. It's due to the increase in abilities that makes Mega Evolution more viable in combat (though some Gen VII pokedex entries adds some....Nightmare fuel to Mega Evolutions...) There's also Mega Evolution that can occur in the Poke-Contests, so it's not just a combat boost. If Mega-Evolutions are a thing, there would have to be an inherent time period for the transformation, maybe a "Once per Day" thing. - Nightmares are dreams too... (talk) 15:41, 14 March 2018 (MDT)
Huh, I actually forgot about being able to Mega Evolve during contests. I'm thinking of making it a bit longer than once per day, though, but I suppose I'll submit something and see what people think. I'm planning to try to do Z-Crystals as well. - MetalShadowOverlord (talk) 02:16, 17 March 2018 (MDT)
I took a look at the race, since I was intrigued when I saw it, and have to admit I'm pleasantly surprised, especially with the Musicus score of 5.5. The only thing I really have to note about the race is the decision to use the Avatar order as the limitation on psionic discipline. If you ask me, I feel like many of the disciplines from the Awakened order are very fitting for Gardevoir, such as Precognition, Psychic Assault, Aura Sight, and Intellect Fortress. I'm not denying that many Avatar disciplines can fit, just that the Awakened disciplines, in my opinion, are more fitting to many of Gardevoir's more general traits, such as reading/knowing the future, and distorting the dimensional fabric, as well as its generally potent psychic power. Making a change isn't necessary, I just wanted to put my suggestion out there for you to consider. - Alice-chan (talk) 09:18, 25 November 2019 (MST)

Court Ruling Temporarily Blocks Enforcement of Voter ID
October 2, 2012 /in News /by PAMatters
Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson has issued a partial preliminary injunction against the new law, which essentially means that voters will be asked to show a valid photo ID on November 6th, but they will not be required to do so.
Governor Tom Corbett says it'll be a continuation of the soft roll-out that was in place for the primary election this past April. Corbett addressed the Voter ID issue at an unrelated event, telling reporters it doesn't matter whether he's disappointed with the ruling or not. However, Corbett reiterated his support for the law. "I think it is incumbent upon people to have photo ID, particularly to identify themselves when they are voting."
Corbett suggests the Commonwealth is leaning against an appeal of Judge Simpson's ruling, but notes the ruling is still being reviewed.
While most Republicans' reaction has been muted, that's not the case for the bill's prime sponsor, state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler). "It's a violation of the separation of powers, and it's a violation of the will of the people," Metcalfe tells Radio PA.
Metcalfe says the state is fulfilling its responsibility by providing free IDs for voting purposes, but Pennsylvania citizens have the responsibility to obtain one if they wish to exercise the right to vote. "The state can't fix lazy," Metcalfe says. "If somebody's too lazy to do what they have to do, we can't fix that. We can't hold every individual by the hand and take them through the process. They have to take on this responsibility."
Vic Walczak
Comments like those offend Vick Walczak, legal director of the ACLU of Pennsylvania. "These are people who greatly value the right to vote, have gone to extraordinary lengths to try to get these IDs, and for some politician to get up and call them lazy is just beyond offensive," Walczak said during a conference call with reporters.
He and other Voter ID opponents who were on that call were hailing the judge's ruling as a great day for PA voters. "On Election Day no one will be turned away from the polls because they don't have one of the photo IDs that would have otherwise been required," says Ben Geffen with the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia.
The state will continue its voter education efforts in hopes that all registered voters will have a valid form of photo ID well in advance of next spring's primary election, when enforcement of the law is scheduled to begin. However, the plaintiffs will still make their case for a permanent injunction at a later date.
Last week's Franklin & Marshall College Poll found that 2% of registered voters say they lack a valid photo ID; 59% favor the law.

BGU develops new AI platform for monitoring and predicting ALS progression
Reviewed by Alina Shrourou, B.Sc. (Editor)Feb 20 2019
Technology will also improve drug development and clinical trials for neurodegenerative diseases
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) has developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) platform for monitoring and predicting progression of neurodegenerative diseases to help identify markers for personalized patient care and improve drug development.
The platform, developed by Prof. Boaz Lerner of the BGU Department of Industrial Engineering and Management will initially be used for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and ultimately for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases.
"One of the big challenges of designing and managing clinical trials for ALS is that it is a rare disease, and clinical variability makes it hard to identify markers for severity," says Prof. Lerner. "As a result, after decades of research, there is still no real cure for ALS and several other challenging neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's.
"Our new technology will more accurately predict disease progression, a crucial ingredient for clinical trials, and better identify the interrelationships between demographics and other measurable factors identified through physical examinations and patient functionality."
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that causes death of motor neurons which control voluntary muscles. This muscle atrophy leads to progressive weakness and paralysis, difficulty speaking, swallowing and breathing. The average survival time for people who are typically diagnosed between ages 40 to 60 is two to five years from onset of symptoms.
Novel imaging technique produces accurate, real-time intraoperative diagnosis of brain tumors
UVA Health proposal to reduce hospital readmissions selected for national AI competition
ALS population heterogeneity complicates research and drug development because of symptom variability at onset, disease progression rates and patterns, and survival statistics. This variability makes it difficult to predict disease progression rate and pattern for individuals.
Having a reliable personalized prediction platform could improve patient care and quality of life for many patients and their caregivers. The new AI platform could also improve clinical trial design by identifying markers for various patient sub-populations' treatment.
The BGU platform integrates demographic and clinical data with machine learning and data mining algorithms to produce models that can predict the rate and pattern of ALS progression, identify specific lab tests or vital signs, and stratify similar sub-groups from the diverse ALS population. The algorithms, and their ability to predict disease progression, will improve as clinical data is added for each patient.
"Now that the algorithms required to produce effective models have been established and evaluated, the funding we received from the Israel Innovation Authority will enable researchers to create a system that patients, physicians, caregivers, pharmaceutical companies, HMOs, and insurers can use on desktop and mobile applications to monitor and predict ALS progression," says Itzik Mashiach at BGN Technologies, BGU's technology-transfer company.
"We are now seeking an industry partner to further develop and commercialize this innovative patent-pending technology."

KM: Chances created
Swindontownfc.co.uk
Manager Kevin MacDonald's views after the 0-0 home draw against Notts County at The County Ground.
On the result…
A 0-0 draw isn't what we wanted. The players and I are disappointed but we can look forward to the Easter programme and maybe we can take our chances next time. I felt that we played good enough football but we didn't have enough shots in the first half. We started creating chances again in the final stages but we have to marry everything together.
On chances created…
James Collins had a few chances but he will always find an opening. He will always score goals and he did well during the week and scored at Yeovil. We played a system that means the players can press high up the pitch and work forward. Notts County are a big side and we had to make amends for that too.
On Town support…
The fans were fantastic. You could hear them willing the players on and we could have had the goal that we so wanted at the end.
On team changes…
Alan McCormack was fantastic again and he had to come in for Jay McEveley who we couldn't risk with a knee injury. Louis Thompson came on and did very well too. All the players did well and we have to try and see things through now for the next seven games. Tommy Miller had to come off with a dead leg so we will see how he is going into the Easter programme.
On the run-in…
There are seven games to go and we have to play Doncaster next Monday and that's going to be a big game. The games have been very close and it could go all the way to the last game of the season.
STATEMENT: TOMMY WRIGHT
Swindon Town can confirm first-team coach, Tommy Wright will remain in employment at the football club following his sentencing at Southwark Crown Court today.

New Logo and Identity for Majja by NH1 Design
Vada Bing, Vada Boom
Reviewed Apr. 4, 2017 by Armin
Industry / Restaurant Tags / #brown#food#illustration#india#lowercase
Opened at the end of 2016, Majja is a new chain of quick-service restaurants in India, focusing on serving vada pav — deep-fried potato placed in a bun with dry red chutney powder and fried green chilies — one of the traditional street foods of Mumbai. Known as the "Desi Burger", the dish has been Americanized to a degree, being served with cheese and ketchup, but Majja is making sure to serve it traditionally across its first eight locations in Ahmedabad, with plans to grow to other cities. The identity for the restaurant has been designed by Gurgaon, India-based NH1 Design.
The word 'Majja' (fun) is commonly used across India. We created a fun verbal brand language that could be easily understood across different languages and cultures. A friendly tone of voice that completely aligned with the brand ethos.
The use of illustrated stories of people and the streets of Mumbai further emphasised the authenticity of the vada pavs. Together the visual and verbal language established a consistent set of assets for the brand.
NH1 Design project page
It is so nice to see a completely different typographic aesthetic for a logo other than traditional serif and sans serifs with the choice of Taca by Rúben R Dias. The almost primitive structure and aesthetic of this wordmark is fun, bold, engaging, and differentiating. The stacked "j"s is both a great move to avoid the kerning issue that would have resulted from leaving them on the same baseline and it adds rhythm and bounce to the wordmark.
Full logo. "Fun New Life".
Verbal variations.
The logo is paired with speech bubbles that complement majja, which means "fun", and while some (if not most) are lost on both literal and cultural translation to me, the point is clear that the name has a lot of flexibility and playfulness. I kind of like the handwritten, scripty font used, although it would have been nice if it had contextual alternates. The secondary variations with the wobbly uppercase and logo inside a speech bubble are not as elegant as the others but do work well paired with the illustrations.
Illustration style. Check the project page to see the animation on all of these.
These could probably use some additional consistency but they are charming and fun.
Food packaging and presentation.
The food packaging is great. I'm particularly fond of the logo on the napkins… not sure what it is, but I just keep coming back to it and enjoying how it looks. The cups with the repeating logos and speech bubbles also look great and the paper wrappers with the illustration make for a great distraction while you eat your vada pav. BTW… vada pad… mmmmm…
Corporate materials.
The corporate materials are a little drab, mostly because of the tan/brown color used throughout that works okay when it's used sparingly on white, but a whole folder of it is too much of a sad color. The illustrations would have looked great on a white background. Still, it's a nice, business-y extension of the consumer aesthetic.
The brick and mortar restaurants, in their limited square footage, do a good job in making the best of their space and branding pretty much every space available, including the vent fan in the back of the kitchen. The brown/tan color is a little oppressive but maybe that's just my Americanized sensibilities where I need bright happy colors around me.
Giant vada pad roaming the streets.
Brand presentation.
Overall, and this is my impression as a foreigner who has visited India once and on a limited schedule, this strikes a great balance of an authentic establishment operating with a more commercial approach that bridges the street food customs of Mumbai with the increased presence of Western fast food restaurants.

Selective reporting in clinical trials occurs when outcome data are collected but not reported, and when investigators do many analyses but report only the most favorable. It can distort the results of trials and bias meta-analyses. They found major differences between the protocols and the reports for primary outcomes, and several trials with no prespecified subgroup analyses in the protocol, subgroup analyses were done in 11.

Available at: http://mrw.interscience.wiley.com/cochrane/clsysrev/articles/MR000011/frame.html
The authors conclude that "trials with positive results are published sooner than other trials. This has important implications for the timing of the initiation and updating of a review, especially if there is an association between the inclusion of a trial in a review and its publication status. It is of particular concern when one considers reviews containing only a small number of studies."

The author discusses "how the use of many small randomized trials with clinically non-relevant outcomes, improper interpretation of statistical significance, manipulated study design, biased selection of study populations, short follow-up, and selective and distorted reporting of results has built and nourished a seemingly evidence-based myth on antidepressant effectiveness and how higher evidence standards, with very large long-term trials and careful prospective meta-analyses of individual-level data may reach closer to the truth and clinically useful evidence."
