Ron Knecht
I Take Exception — My Rebuttal
March 21, 2015 vickielrock1 Comment
NV Controller Ron Knecht's "2nd Monthly Report" was published last week in the Humboldt Sun. I took exception with much of what he had to say. Below are his report and my rebuttal which was published in the second edition of this week's Humboldt Sun:
Mr. Knecht's Report:
The second Controller's Monthly Report is now on the state web site (www.controller.nv.gov). It addresses state revenues, while the first one reviewed state spending. In sum, its findings are …
Nevada state revenues include taxes, federal and other grants and contracts, plus charges for services that have amply served the public interest. Both total tax revenues and charges for services have increased slightly relative to Nevada's economy and the incomes of Nevada families and businesses since 2008. Total state revenues have increased at roughly the same rate as state spending, and both spending and taxes have grown significantly faster than our economy, proving again that we have a spending problem, not a revenue deficit.
Every cent taken in taxes is an act of destruction of human and social well-being; so, public spending items should not be adopted unless they clearly provide benefits exceeding the damage done by taxes required to support them. The essence of sound fiscal policy is to deploy only the least destructive tax methods and most beneficial spending measures, and to find the taxing/spending balance point that maximizes net social benefits and public wellbeing.
All taxes are "unfair" because they can't be charged according to the social costs that people cause, nor the benefits they receive. Fairness being illusory, in taxation and other public policy, we should seek to maximize economic growth and the human well-being that growth fosters. "Ability to pay" criteria, which have a superficial ring of fairness, and "redistribution" policies are particularly destructive to the broad public interest in growth. And claims that taxing one person to subsidize another involves "compassion" are false.
The real tax fairness issue is that public spending's beneficiaries — public employees and contractors, plus those receiving public payments — have an unfair political advantage over taxpayers and the public, an advantage that produces excessive taxing/spending levels.
So, consider the recent fortunes of taxpayers and public employees. In the last six years, Nevada taxpayers' average incomes declined by nearly 8 percent (from $39,079 in 2008 to $36,039 in 2010) before rebounding slowly back to prior levels ($39,173 in 2014). State employees took 4.6 percent cuts via furloughs for a couple of years, followed by a combination of furloughs and actual pay reductions still totaling roughly 4.6 percent. At present, they still must take furloughs equal to cuts of about 2.3 percent.
So, state employees in general have borne roughly the same burden from our economic troubles as have taxpayers. Considering the total package — pay, benefits and job security — state employees in Nevada essentially get total compensation at market levels. Local government employees, on the other hand, have taken fewer, if any, pay cuts and many have continued to get increases. In Clark and Washoe counties, their total compensation levels are much higher than market levels prevailing in the private sector.
The accumulated and ever-increasing over-reach of government is greatly responsible for the slow economic growth of recent years and the prospects of the same in the future. So, voters, taxpayers, Nevada state employees and the broad public interest are victims of government excess, while local public employees are to some extent beneficiaries.
All these considerations reinforce the conclusions of Controller's Monthly Report #1 that to leave our children a better future, we must stop the growth relative to the economy and to Nevadans' incomes of public spending that drives taxes. We must especially avoid mistakes such as adopting versions of the business margins tax defeated 4-1 by voters last November. We must restructure fiscal processes for real budget constraints and effective cost management, emphasize no- and low-cost reforms in K-12 education and end public employee collective bargaining and prevailing wage rules.
My rebuttal to his partisan ideological propaganda:
I have some serious problems with Mr. Knecht's "Commentary" in the 3/13-16/2015 Humboldt Sun.
"Every cent taken in taxes is an act of destruction of human and social well-being?" Really? Mr. Knecht doesn't believe in ANY public commons? He doesn't believe in public roads? Or public water and systems? Or police and fire fighters? Or public schools and universities? I'm sorry, but all of those do promote "human and social well-being" and they're all part of OUR public commons created using OUR tax dollars. So exactly what is Mr. Knecht proposing, selling off all of our "public commons" at fire-sale prices to the "deserving" richest among us, all so THEY can charge us by the mile, by the book or test, by the flush or by the flame? What about the police? Is he proposing we should submit to a "Robocop" scenario across the state? Isn't that why our fore-father's fled Europe? To flee the tyranny of the rich who oppressed those beneath them?
"All taxes are unfair because they can't be charged according to the social costs that people cause, nor the benefits they receive?" What does that even mean? That we should bestow OUR public commons to corporate parasites that pay NO taxes just because they might be the bearer of jobs? Isn't it "corporations" that consume our infrastructure and pollute our lands and waters at the greatest rates, causing destruction of human and social well-being? Isn't it the corporations that choose NOT to pay a living wage NOR to provide health benefits to their workers, leading to the destruction of human and social well-being? Isn't it those same workers who now, no longer have an "ability to pay," again, leading to the destruction of human and social well-being? Is that really what Mr. Knecht's "fair way to run our country" would look like?
Then there's his rant about public employees. Every cent of Mr. Knecht's paycheck is paid with public tax dollars. That makes Mr. Knecht a PUBLIC employee. What makes him believe he's so infinitely better than police, firefighters, teachers, or even a clerk at a local DMV?
He may talk fondly about our kids/grandkids, but that's just a ruse, a distraction. He does make his intentions clear: to do everything he can to stifle/gut K-12 education programs that might make our children competitive and productive in an ever changing economy.
I disagree with Mr. Knecht and with that for which he stands. Instead of looking for ways to improve our "human and social well-being," he's apparently looking for ways to destroy it. I fear that our "investment" in his paycheck will yield only negative dividends for the everyday Nevadan before all is said and done.

Is Ron Knecht rewriting history?
—by Rich Dunn, RNDC 2nd Vice Chair
In a Nevada Appeal op-ed, Controller-elect Ron Knecht laid out the premise for his ultra-conservative world view as follows:
"For 125 years, we've seen the rise of the dysfunctional politics of Progressivism. As it
has accelerated in the last five decades, we've had slowing economic growth and reductions in individual liberty, prosperity, opportunity and hope."
I doubt that Mr. Knecht was referring to the short-lived Progressive parties of Theodore Roosevelt (1912), Robert La Follette (1924) or Henry Wallace (1948), so I'll assume that he was actually referring to progressivism with a lower-case p. So what is that?
Wikipedia observes that "American progressives tend to advocate progressive taxation and oppose what they describe as the growing and negative influence of large corporations. Progressives are typically in agreement on an international scale with left-liberalism in that they support organized labor and trade unions, they usually wish to introduce a living wage, and they often support the creation of a universal health care system."
All of the above have been around in one form or another for the past 125 years, and for lack of a better word we can agree to refer to them collectively as "progressivism." And according to Ron Knecht, those progressive ideas have driven the "dysfunctional politics" he sees as responsible for "slowing economic growth and reductions in individual liberty, prosperity, opportunity and hope."
I have no clue what Ron Knecht thinks of as individual liberty, prosperity, opportunity or hope, so I'll leave those aside, but economic growth is something that can be objectively measured, so let's do a fact check on that part of his world view. Knecht seems to believe that economic growth has been slowing for the past 125 years, and that perceived slowing has "accelerated in the last five decades." So, is that a true statement? Let's see.
Looking back 125 years, we find that nominal GDP in 1889 was $14 billion, which is $360 billion in 2014 dollars. That is 1/47th the output of today's economy. And US GDP fifty years ago (1964) was 743.7 billion, which is $5.71 trillion in 2014 dollars. That is only 1/3rd of today's $17 trillion GDP. I'm not an economist, but to my mind those numbers reflect a pretty robust rate of economic growth.
Perhaps the best test of Ron Knecht's thesis that progressivism is bad for economic growth is to look at the years immediately following the Crash of 1929. That will let us contrast the effects of Hoover's pro-cyclical regressivism to Roosevelt's counter-cyclical progressivism. Here goes: GDP growth in 1930 was -8.5%, in 1931 it was -6.4%, 1932 -12.9%, 1933 (FDR took office in April) -1.3%, 1934 +10.8%, 1935 +8.9%, 1936 +12.9%, 1937 +5.1%, 1938 -3.3%, 1939 +8.0%, 1940 +8.8%, 1941 +17.7.
It should be noted that the recession of 1938 followed FDR pulling back on his counter-cyclical progressive policies at the urging of conservatives in his own party. The hope was that the economy already had enough momentum to grow on its own (bad guess).
Conservative ideologues routinely make the same kind of mistakes here in the 21st century, as witnessed by the tea party's on-going temper tantrum over counter-cyclical recovery measures like QE, TARP and the ARRA. Unlike real world conservatives like George W. Bush and his treasury secretary Hank Paulson, they don't understand that the public and private sectors do not compete in a developed economy, they are in fact complementary.
Knecht ties off his progressivism-slows-growth argument with this counter-factual assertion: "Now, after a six-year blowout of it since the Great Recession, we're mired in a long-term non-recovery it has caused." Why do I call that counter-factual? Well, think about it…
In response to the Global Financial Crisis, European governments responded with austerity: pro-cyclical fiscal policies that drove the EU as a whole into a prolonged period of near-zero growth and southern Europe into an outright depression, with unemployment rates over 25% in Greece and Spain and joblessness up to 50% among the under-30's.
Contrast that with the US, which was fortunate enough to have Democrats in control of both houses of congress when the financial crisis hit in September 2008. The progressive counter-cyclical response turned what was clearly an impending economic depression into a recession that was over in just a few months.
Today, after 56 months of continuous job growth, the US unemployment rate is under 6%, the economy is growing at a robust 3.5%, gasoline is under $3 a gallon, the stock market is at an all-time high, and the federal budget deficit has been cut in half, not to mention that ten million more Americans can afford to see a doctor when they get sick.
Not too shabby, and I can tell you this with total certainty: Were that the record of a Republican president, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity et al would be crowing about it around the clock. But they are all about politics, not reality, so all you're going to hear about is "Obama's failed agenda." Yeah, right.

Who is Andrew Martin?
September 26, 2014 NVRDC1 Comment
If you were at Winnemucca's Labor Day Parade or the Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, you would have had an opportunity to meet and talk to or at least wave at Andrew Martin who is running for State Controller on the November ballot.
As an Assemblyman and member of the Economic Forum Andrew has worked on Nevada's budget, understands our finances, and knows what needs to be done to improve our economy. Andrew is a business owner, Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF), and Certified Internal Controls Auditor (CICA). Mr. Martin has over 28 years of professional experience providing accounting, advisory, audit and tax services to a diverse group of business, individual, governmental, and non‐profit clients.
His opponent, Ron Knecht, is a "limited government conservative" who was a member of the "Mean 15" and who has signed onto Grover Norquist's "Taxpayer Protection Pledge" of no new taxes. He's a proudly professed NRA member (who also proudly supports "campus concealed carry) and who was elected to the Nevada Assembly once and NOT returned. But, most importantly, where Andrew clearly holds certifications beneficial for the job, Mr. Knecht is a Mechanical Engineer by profession and has managed a few budgets and made a few investments.
Really? That's the best fiscal and financial expertise the Republican Party has to offer up? Somebody who diligently works side-by-side with Sharron Angle to shut government down?
"Fiscal responsibility, transparency and accountability isn't just a campaign slogan, it is what I believe in, and they are the principals by which I will operate the Office of the Controller." — Andrew Martin
As our Nevada State Controller, Andrew Martin has pledged to:
Strengthen the State's fiscal oversight and accountability, which will benefit the economic health of Nevada and improve our outlook for the future.
Assure that our tax dollars are being spent wisely to accomplish tangible results, linking dollars spent to measurable outcomes that are tied to state-wide priorities, such as higher student test scores, lower crime rates, and a healthier population.
Collect debts owed to the State so that Nevadans who work hard and pay sales, gas, real estate and other taxes don't have to carry the load for businesses that don't.
Make sure the worldwide financial community knows that Nevada is a great place to invest, improving Nevada's business climate, boosting our economy and stimulating job creation.
Personally, when I'm looking to hire a State Controller, I'm looking for someone who is pledging to do what's best for Nevada's citizens, not someone who is beholding to Grover Norquist, someone who doesn't live in Nevada, and who most likely knows absolutely NOTHING about the needs of Nevadans. I don't know about you, but I'm planning to pony up to the voting booth during early elections to cast my vote for the best qualified candidate for the job: Andrew Martin!

Really? Updated College Sexual Assault Prevention Guidelines are Federal Overreach?
July 16, 2014 NVRDC
— by Zach Hudson, NSDP Communications Director
Remember Todd Akin, the GOP Senate candidate in Missouri who talked about "legitimate rape?" Akin's comments were ignorant, insensitive, and out-of-touch. Which is why we were disappointed Nevada Republicans seem to be taking their cues on women's health from Todd Akin.
Last week, the Republican nominee for Nevada Controller, Ron Knecht, wrote an op-ed where he essentially said new guidelines to prevent sexual assault on college campuses are an example of federal overreach. He even blamed programs to prevent sexual assault for the increase in college tuition!
Let's make sure Republicans like this never get elected to office – join Democrat Andrew Martin's campaign for Controller by clicking here today.
Ron Knecht's comments were moronic, but unfortunately not surprising. Whether it's Sen. Dean Heller's support for restricting access to contraception, Rep. Joe Heck's votes to ban abortion for rape victims and to weaken the Violence Against Women Act, or Nevada Republican Senate Leader, and former Tom DeLay operative, Michael Roberson, supporting "personhood" measures which could outlaw forms of birth control, Nevada Republicans time and time again demonstrate they are completely clueless when it comes to women's health.
Fortunately, Nevadans have a clear choice in the election for State Controller. While Ron Knecht is focused on criticizing programs to help sexual assault victims, Democratic nominee Andrew Martin will focus on managing the state's finances.
Click here to join Andrew's campaign and tell Nevada Republicans when it comes to women's health decisions, #ItsNotUpToThem.

Moderna COVID-19 vaccine efficacy falls slightly to 90 per cent in U.S. trial
WASHINGTON — U.S. biotech company Moderna announced that its COVID-19 vaccine is 90 per cent effective against all forms of the disease and 95 per cent effective against severe disease.
The new results come from its ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial involving more 30,000 people across the United States, and the headline efficacy figure is a slight decrease from an earlier figure of 94.1 per cent, which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in December.
The new number is based on 900 adjudicated cases of COVID-19 from the study as of April 9, while the previous figure was based on 185 cases.
A company press release did not indicate why efficacy has fallen, but one reason might be the emergence of new variants of concern which are not as susceptible to antibodies evoked to the vaccine.
Moderna is working on two variant-specific boosters, and said mice studies showed they elicited an increased immune response. The results of these studies have been posted online in a scientific paper that is now awaiting peer review.
"The new preclinical data on our variant-specific vaccine candidates give us confidence that we can proactively address emerging variants," said CEO Stephane Bancel.
The company said that as of April 12, it has delivered 132 million doses of its vaccine globally, including approximately 117 million doses to the United States.
It remains on course to deliver its second tranche of 100 million doses by the end of May followed by 100 million more by the end of July.
The company's clinical trial for adolescents aged 12 to 17 is now fully enrolled with 3,000 U.S. participants, and its pediatric trial for children aged six months to 11 years is continuing to enroll its 6,750 participants in the United States and China.

The Lovely And Dangerous Launch Of Lucy Cavanagh
by Stacy Peterson
It's spring of 1867, and Lucy Cavanagh—NYC heiress, literary lover, and dreamer—is taking the biggest risk of her life. She's left everything behind to journey west, in the hopes of reconnecting with the only person who can answer questions that have haunted her since her mother's death, answers that may help her discover who she is. But halfway to San Francisco, her stagecoach is attacked and Lucy finds herself the sole survivor of a massacre.
After days left alone in the wilderness of Colorado Territory, armed only with a gun, she finds hope in the form of a lone rider—Will Shanks, leader of the most notorious outlaw gang in the west. Together, they head for Denver on horseback. But when a violent storm brews, Lucy and Will come across Valley City, the destination of the Holloways, a young newlywed couple who died in the stagecoach massacre. Hoping only for shelter from the storm, Lucy and Will are mistaken for the Holloways and welcomed with open arms.
As greater danger unfolds and she learns Will's reasons for his final heist, Lucy becomes inextricably weaved into his world and the lives of the townspeople, who embrace her so unconditionally. As the lines between pretend and reality are blurred and bounty hunters close in on them, Lucy begins to discover a courage she never knew she had and must decide for herself who she is, and what it means to live bravely.

The preparation of animal-based food usually involves slaughter, evisceration, hanging, portioning, and rendering. In developed countries, this is usually done outside the home in slaughterhouses, which are used to process animals en masse for meat production. Many countries regulate their slaughterhouses by law. For example, the United States has established the Humane Slaughter Act of 1958, which requires that an animal be stunned before killing. This act, like those in many countries, exempts slaughter in accordance to religious law, such as kosher, shechita, and dhabīḥah halal. Strict interpretations of kashrut require the animal to be fully aware when its carotid artery is cut.[84]
Edible animal material, including muscle, offal, milk, eggs and egg whites, contains substantial amounts of protein. Almost all vegetable matter (in particular legumes and seeds) also includes proteins, although generally in smaller amounts. Mushrooms have high protein content. Any of these may be sources of essential amino acids. When proteins are heated they become denatured (unfolded) and change texture. In many cases, this causes the structure of the material to become softer or more friable – meat becomes cooked and is more friable and less flexible. In some cases, proteins can form more rigid structures, such as the coagulation of albumen in egg whites. The formation of a relatively rigid but flexible matrix from egg white provides an important component in baking cakes, and also underpins many desserts based on meringue.
Live food is commonly used as feed for a variety of species of exotic pets and zoo animals, ranging from alligators to various snakes, frogs and lizards, but also including other, non-reptile, non-amphibian carnivores and omnivores (for instance, skunks, which are omnivorous mammals, can be technically be fed a limited amount of live food, though this is not known to be a common practice). Common live food ranges from crickets (used as an inexpensive form of feed for carnivorous and omnivorous reptiles such as bearded dragons and commonly available in pet stores for this reason), waxworms, mealworms and to a lesser extent cockroaches and locusts, to small birds and mammals such as mice or chickens.
Fruits are the ripened ovaries of plants, including the seeds within. Many plants and animals have coevolved such that the fruits of the former are an attractive food source to the latter, because animals that eat the fruits may excrete the seeds some distance away. Fruits, therefore, make up a significant part of the diets of most cultures. Some botanical fruits, such as tomatoes, pumpkins, and eggplants, are eaten as vegetables.[10] (For more information, see list of fruits.)

GSA and DOD Announce New Buy American Rule
On March 1, 2022, in his first State of the Union address, President Joe Biden pledged that the United States government would "buy American" when spending federal money on infrastructure and other procurements. To reach that goal, the General Services Administration and Department of Defense announced a rule on March 7 that changes federal rules around procurement to require more federal spending aimed toward American business.
The principal change in the law surrounds how much of federal products need to be made in the United States to be considered American. Before, products are considered made in America by federal procurement standards if 55% of their component parts are made in the United States. Under Biden's change, products must consist of 75% American component parts to meet the threshold.
Additionally, the Small Business Administration has created a new office designed to help small businesses "access Federal contracts, financing, and business development support." The office will be housed in the federal contracting division.
More on President Biden's "Buy American" commitments can be found via the White House. You can read the GSA rule here.

Birmingham to axe over 1,000 jobs due to 'brutal' Whitehall cuts
Britain's biggest council says it is facing 'the most challenging period its history' after announcing a further round of huge cuts in its workforce.
Birmingham City Council has confirmed it will cut almost 1,100 jobs next year in a the face of further reductions in Government funding and increasing demand for services.
This will come on top of 12,000 jobs – more than half the council's former workforce – being axed since 2010.
The job losses are part of a four-year plan rubber-stamped yesterday which includes a 4.99 per cent increase in council tax from April.
Other measures include dimming street lights, increasing bulky waste and garden waste fees and reducing fly-tipping enforcement resources.
The Labour-run authority will make £46m worth of cuts in the 12 months from April, rising to £85m over the next four years. It expects a further 500 jobs to go by 2022/23.
The budget was passed as hopes rose for an end to the series of one day strikes by refuse collectors.
Unite the union suspended its action yesterday (Tuesday) pending further talks at ACAS over disputed payments made to members of a rival union who worked through a previous strike.
But if the talks fail the council says it will go ahead with a legal challenge to the industrial action tomorrow (Thursday).
The council will argue that the grounds for the strike are unwarranted because the payments to GMB union members was because they were not consulted over the settlement of the strike last year.
Council leader Ian Ward Council leader Ian Ward blamed 'brutal' government cuts of £700m since 2010 for the latest job losses.
But he also claimed there were 'reasons for optimism' including improvements in children's services, major housing developments and forthcoming projects such as HS2 and the Commonwealth Games in 2022.
He said: 'The budget is not simply a response to our financial challenges, it is a forward looking financial plan to transform the way we work, change the way services are delivered, and look towards new opportunities to improve quality of life for citizens in the long-term.'

Shiny But Rusty – Playable Elders In RPGs: Part Two
by Ben · January 12, 2022
In an age where boy band knockoffs, youthful adults, and sometimes mere children are the norm when it comes to playable characters, it's hard to believe there was a time when the more "seasoned" adventurers were frequently put on the frontlines. That's right, I'm talking about those battle-hardened "geezers" whose know-how easily outweighs their aging statures. Of course, more elderly figures can still be found in some modern RPGs, but I've found that their presence isn't quite up to the numbers they once had in ages past.
Recent slip in attendance aside, it's time to celebrate the elderly side of playable RPG characters, but I use the term "elderly" quite loosely. We're taking a look at any character 40 and up because surprisingly, even the 40-ish range is somewhat nonexistent in modern RPGs. This list will only be considering actual human beings, however, meaning no centuries-old sorcerers, no Geralts of Rivia, no Lunarians named FuSoYa, and no half-vampires like Alucard. With all that in mind, let's get into it!
Keithgriff Hazeldine – Atelier Dusk Trilogy
You know the devoted scientist/historian trope that is painted as socially awkward with an unhealthy devotion to their craft? The (in)famous alchemist Keithgriff Hazeldine falls into that category but unlike most, also has skill and combat prowess to stand toe-to-toe with just about anyone. Leveraging his vast knowledge of alchemy, he uses infused rings and gems to deal damage and provide support to allies. He may come across as a jerk, but he ultimately means well and is a valuable asset to any party.
Cyan Garamonde – Final Fantasy VI
The proper heir to Gau's erroneously placed "Mr. Thou" label, Cyan Garamonde is a legendary, but aging samurai from the kingdom of Doma whose loyalty for king and country knows no bounds. After losing everything, including his honor, at the hands of Kefka's nefarious plans, he gladly puts himself on the Returner's frontlines in their war against the Gestahlian empire. While he's arguably one of the weakest characters in the original version of the game for a number of reasons, his tragic story and flashy Bushido techniques have permanently carved a way into both my heart and main party.
Ryan/Riki – River City Ransom: Underground
Rival-turned-best friend of Alex/Kunio, Ryan, is a staple in most Kunio-kun games. The two brawling masters once swept the streets of River City in River City Ransom, only to reunite 20-ish years later for similar reasons in River City Ransom: Underground. Age, however, has not affected their skill in the slightest, with both still being quite capable fighters. Alex may generally be the star of the show, but Ryan undoubtedly has the more appealing toolkit in Underground, with skills such as Stone Hands (swift punches of, you guessed it, stone), Dragon Feet (lightning-fast kicks), and Acro Circus (a multi-front flip evasive maneuver that also deals damage). Not only that, his rockabilly hairdo is even more impressive than it was in his youth.
Ogden – Dragon Fantasy
Ogden is a charming lead for all the right reasons: he's a ginger, and a "has-been," but he doesn't shy away from comedic relief or the chance to prove to youngsters he still "has what it takes." He may be prematurely bald from a bout with a dragon three decades ago…but that is exactly why he is still a badass – he defeated a dragon and lived long enough to depart on yet another (unexpected) adventure. While his abilities may not be as flashy as the other geezers on this list, it's the OG Dragon Quest-esque simplicity of the entire experience that makes him so appealing.
That's it for the list! What are some other older characters in RPGs that you like? Let us know in the comments below!

Your doctor prescribed a new medicine to you. You don't quite understand why, but you trust that your doctor knows what he or she doing. After about a month, you don't feel much different, which makes you wonder: Is this medicine even working?
If you're not feeling or seeing an improvement while taking your medicine, it's understandable that you may feel like it's not doing its job. The thing is, many medicines may seem like they're not doing anything, but in reality, they're actually working really hard behind the scenes. Even though you can't feel it, they're helping.
"For silent chronic conditions, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, it may be working, but you may not be feeling the effects," says Preeti Parikh, MD, chief medical editor at HealthiNation and a pediatrician at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
If you're feeling like you don't understand your prescription, don't stop taking it. Medications only work if you take them as directed. It can be dangerous if you skip doses, elect not to take a prescribed medicine, or take too much.
TIP #1: Ask your doctor what you can expect.
Whether you've been taking your medicine for a while or you've just been prescribed, it's important to discuss your treatment plan with your doctor and ask questions. You have every right to know exactly how your medication is going to affect you.
How is this medicine working in my body?
What's the long-term goal of this medication?
Are there tests to make sure the medications are working?
Write down any questions or concerns you have before your appointment so you don't forget.
TIP #2: Write down, repeat, and review.
At your appointment, write down the medication information, your treatment plan, and the answers to your questions.
Being thorough in this process will help clear up any miscommunication that may lead to confusion down the road.
TIP #3: At the pharmacy, ask for a patient handout.
When filling your prescription, talk to your pharmacist about any questions or concerns you may have and be sure to ask for a patient handout.
"Read the prescription information at the pharmacy and reread it when you refill your medication in case there are any changes," says Punkaj Khanna, PharmD, a pharmacist based in New York City.
Understanding your medications and taking them as directed is just as important to your health as getting enough exercise and eating a nutritious diet.
"Remember: You, your doctor, and your pharmacist are a team, so work together and make sure you're getting the best treatment plan possible," says Dr. Parikh.

At 7 p.m. Wednesday, the South Park Bridge's draw spans will open for a last time and stay that way until the entire structure is soon demolished.
The 78-year-old bridge has reached its useful life and will be permanently closed for safety reasons, cutting off a vital transportation link across the Duwamish River — 20,000 vehicles cross it every day — and further isolating a neighborhood that locals say has always been forgotten.
Today the State of Washington announced additional funding for a new bridge, but it may still take years until one is in place.
"We know that it's going to take approximately two-and-a-half years to build … best possible scenario is three years without the bridge," said Bill Pease, a 10-year South Park resident and member of the South Park Bridge Committee, a neighborhood group that has been lobbying for funding for a new bridge for six years.
When I recently walked, drove and drew around the area, I discovered a close-knit community that I enjoyed for its small-town feel and diversity. Here I could put my Spanish to use at the stores and join in the morning chat at the caf&eacute or the bus stop.
While the bridge's poor condition is no suprise to most people –it sustained serious damage during the 2001 Nisqually earthquake– the neighbors and business owners I talked to along 14th Avenue South were shocked and angered the bridge will close before it can be replaced. They said the street will be a road to nowhere after the bridge closes, a ghost town.
Over the next few days, I will share the stories I came across sketching near the bridge. The sketches were done in South Park on May 19 and 25, and June 8. You'll also find some of the sketches and stories in Sunday's printed edition.

[Update: Postponed for G Suite] Google will transition "classic" Hangouts users to Chat and Meet later this year
Update (8/21/19 @ 1:50 PM ET): The "classic" Hangouts migration has been postponed for G Suite customers.
One of the biggest Google stories of 2018 was the downfall of Hangouts. The platform had long been seemingly abandoned, but we finally got some news about its future. In December, we learned that Hangouts users will eventually be transitioned to Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet. There was no timeline given at the time, but now we have a little more of an idea.
Google has posted an update on the transition for G Suite users from "classic" Hangouts to Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet. The company also shared some details for non-G Suite users. There's always confusion when talking about Hangouts because of the different availability for free users and G Suite users. We'll try to clear up some of that.
"Classic" Hangouts, which is the app and web service most of us know and use, will begin "retiring" in October 2019 for G Suite users. For those of us who are not G Suite users, Google does not have an end date yet, but it will likely happen in 2020. G Suite users will be transitioned from classic Hangouts to Chat and Meet. Google will begin bringing features over from classic Hangouts to Hangouts Chat in April 2019. Those features include:
Integration with Gmail
Chatting with external users
An improved video calling experience
Making calls with Google Voice
Hopefully, Chat is a much better app by the time that October date rolls around. So what about non-G Suite users? While we don't have an end date yet, we do know a little more about a landing spot. Google says they will transition consumers to a free version of Hangouts Chat and Meet sometime after the G Suite transition. Previous reports claimed consumers would be moved to a limited free version of Chat and Meet. This latest news seems to follow along with those reports.
Source: G Suite Blog
Update: Postponed for G Suite
Google originally announced plans to retire classic Hangouts for G Suite customers in October. After receiving feedback from customers, Google has decided to postpone the final transition date to "no sooner than June 2020." A more definitive date will be given later on. In the meantime, G Suite customers can continue to use classic Hangouts, but Google does urge people to start transitioning to Chat.

Home News The Division is planning to 'reinvigorate' its PVE
The Division is planning to 'reinvigorate' its PVE
What exactly that is...they aren't saying.
Daniel R. Miller
The Division is a solid game, but it seems to be known more for what's wrong with it versus what it does well. One thing that I'm sure everyone can agree on is that there needs to be more to do after Level 30. While many are expecting something big from the upcoming batch of DLC in June, we don't know what that will be exactly. Ubisoft Community Developer, Hamish Bode may have given us a hint as to what that could be.
During a Twitch stream today, a viewer inquired as to whether or not there were any plans to "to reinvigorate the PvE area" of the game. Bode admitted that this was indeed the case, though what exactly that entails, he wouldn't say (of course).
Between all of the glitches and issues that appear to be plaguing the PVP portion of the game, it wouldn't surprise me to see Ubisoft try to steer attention away from that part of The Division in an effort to get players to focus on something that the game does well while trying to work out the kinks with fewer fans breathing down their necks. Exploits have become so bad (especially on PC) that one networking developer believes the game needs a "complete rewrite" to fix its problems.
We will see where Ubisoft takes The Division from here.

Seven years ago I started working on MozCC, an add-on for Firefox that exposed Creative Commons license information embedded in web pages. Little did I know that add-on would be the start of a career with CC, eventually leading me to San Francisco, and subsequently around the globe to talk about CC's technology. MozCC was dropped from active maintenance somewhere around Firefox 3, but of the tools I built during my first couple years at CC, it's the one I still get the most questions about.
This summer, Igor Lukanin worked on a Google Summer of Code project for CC to develop a replacement for MozCC, an add-on for Firefox that would expose license and attribution information. While the project wasn't totally successful, it did produce an add-on that detected CC licenses in pages, and exposed details about them.
Last month I had the opportunity to attend Learning, Freedom, and the Web, the first Mozilla Drumbeat Festival, in Barcelona, Spain. One of the issues identified by attendees was that, while there are plenty of works being licensed under CC licenses, knowing how to properly attribute re-use is still a challenge. How many times have we seen presentations made up of beautiful photos, with a simple "CC licensed, Flickr" under each (if that)? The proposed solution was an attribution generator: a tool that would generate reasonable attribution for CC licensed works, based on information available.
OpenAttribute is an add-on that displays a small "CC" icon in the URL bar when license information is present. Clicking that icon displays the page's license information and, importantly, copy and paste HTML you can use to attribute the work. You can click the "More Information" button to display the details on licensed objects in the page.
There's still work to be done, but at this point I think it's ready for broader testing. You can download the add-on and find the code on github. Feedback, questions, suggestions should all probably go to the attrib-generator Google Group.

TRAPPIST-1e, ook aangeduid als 2MASS J23062928-0502285 e, is een vaste exoplaneet ter grootte van bijna de Aarde, die in de bewoonbare zone rond de ultrakoele dwerg TRAPPIST-1 draait, ongeveer 40 lichtjaar, oftewel bijna 3,7336×1014 km van de Aarde in het sterrenbeeld Waterman. De exoplaneet werd gevonden met behulp van de transit-methode, waarbij het verduisterende effect wordt gemeten dat een planeet veroorzaakt wanneer zij voor haar ster langs trekt.

Het was een van de zeven nieuwe exoplaneten die met behulp van waarnemingen van de Spitzer Space Telescope rond de ster werden ontdekt. Drie van de zeven (e, f, en g) bevinden zich in de bewoonbare zone. TRAPPIST-1e is vergelijkbaar met de massa, straal, dichtheid, zwaartekracht, temperatuur en stellaire flux van de aarde. Ook is bevestigd dat het een compacte atmosfeer heeft zoals de aardse planeten in het zonnestelsel. In november 2018 stelden onderzoekers vast dat van de zeven exoplaneten in het multiplanetaire systeem, TRAPPIST-1e degene is met de grootste kans om een aarde-achtige oceaanplaneet te zijn en degene die het meest de moeite waard is om verder te bestuderen met betrekking tot bewoonbaarheid. Volgens de Habitable Exoplanets Catalog is TRAPPIST-1e een van de meest potentieel bewoonbare exoplaneten die tot nu toe zijn ontdekt.

Kenmerken

Massa, straal, en temperatuur
TRAPPIST-1e werd ontdekt met de overgang-methode, waarbij de planeet een klein percentage van het licht van zijn ster tegenhield toen hij tussen de ster en de aarde in trok. Hierdoor konden wetenschappers de straal van de planeet nauwkeurig bepalen op 0,910 aardstralen, met een kleine onzekerheid van ongeveer 166-172 km. Variaties in de tijd van de passage en geavanceerde computersimulaties hielpen bij het bepalen van de massa van de planeet, die 0,772 aardmassa bleek te zijn. Nu zowel de straal als de massa van TRAPPIST-1e met kleine foutmarges zijn vastgesteld, konden wetenschappers de dichtheid, oppervlaktezwaartekracht en samenstelling van de planeet nauwkeurig berekenen. TRAPPIST-1e is ongewoon in zijn systeem omdat het de enige planeet is met een zuivere rots-ijzersamenstelling, en de enige met een hogere dichtheid dan de Aarde (TRAPPIST-1c lijkt ook volledig uit rots te bestaan, maar heeft een dikke atmosfeer waardoor hij minder dicht is dan TRAPPIST-1e). Hij heeft een dichtheid van 5,65 g/cm3, ongeveer 1,024 maal de dichtheid van de aarde van 5,51 g/cm3. De hogere dichtheid van TRAPPIST-1e impliceert een aardachtige samenstelling en een vast rotsachtig oppervlak. Dit is ook ongewoon onder de TRAPPIST-1 planeten, want de meeste zijn volledig bedekt door ofwel een dikke stoomatmosfeer, een wereldwijde vloeibare oceaan, of een ijsschelp. TRAPPIST-1e heeft 93% van de oppervlaktezwaartekracht van de aarde, de op één na hoogste in het systeem. Zijn straal en massa zijn ook de op twee na kleinste onder de TRAPPIST-1 planeten.

De planeet heeft een berekende oppervlaktemperatuur van 246,1 K (-27,1 °C), gegeven een albedo van 0. Voor een realistischer aarde-achtig albedo geeft dit echter een onrealistisch beeld van de oppervlaktetemperatuur van de planeet. De evenwichtstemperatuur van de aarde is 255 K; het zijn de broeikasgassen van de aarde die de oppervlaktetemperatuur doen stijgen tot het niveau dat wij ervaren. Als TRAPPIST-1e een dikke atmosfeer heeft, zou zijn oppervlak veel warmer kunnen zijn dan zijn evenwichtstemperatuur.

Baan
TRAPPIST-1e draait vrij dicht om zijn ster heen. Een volledige omwenteling rond TRAPPIST-1 duurt slechts 6,099 aardse dagen (~146 uur). Hij draait rond op een afstand van 0,02928285 AE, of iets minder dan 3% van de afstand tussen de aarde en de zon. Ter vergelijking: de dichtstbijzijnde planeet in het zonnestelsel, Mercurius, doet er 88 dagen over om op een afstand van 0,38 AE rond de zon te draaien. Ondanks de nabijheid van zijn ster krijgt TRAPPIST-1e slechts ongeveer 60% van het sterlicht dat de aarde van de zon krijgt, vanwege de lage helderheid van zijn ster. De ster zou een hoekdiameter van ongeveer 2,17 graden vanaf het oppervlak van de planeet beslaan, en zou vanaf de aarde ongeveer vier keer zo groot lijken als de zon.

Ster
De planeet draait rond een (laat M-type) ultrakoele dwerg genaamd TRAPPIST-1. De ster heeft een massa van 0,089 zonmassa's en een straal van 0,121 zonstralen. Hij heeft een temperatuur van 2.516 K en is tussen de 3 en 8 miljard jaar oud. Ter vergelijking: de Zon is 4,6 miljard jaar oud en heeft een temperatuur van 5.778 K. De ster is metaalrijk, met een metalliciteit (Fe/H]) van 0,04, ofwel 109% van de zonnehoeveelheid. Dit is bijzonder vreemd, omdat van sterren met zo'n lage massa op de grens tussen bruine dwergen en waterstofsmeltende sterren verwacht mag worden dat ze aanzienlijk minder metaal bevatten dan de zon. Zijn lichtkracht is 0,0522% van die van de zon.

De schijnbare magnitude van de ster, of hoe helder hij lijkt vanuit het perspectief van de aarde, is 18,8. Hij is dus te zwak om met het blote oog te worden gezien.

Bewoonbaarheid

Er werd bekendgemaakt dat de exoplaneet binnen de bewoonbare zone van zijn moederster draait, het gebied waar, met de juiste omstandigheden en atmosferische eigenschappen, vloeibaar water aan het oppervlak van de planeet kan bestaan. TRAPPIST-1e heeft een straal van ongeveer 0,91 aardstralen, dus is het waarschijnlijk een rotsachtige planeet. Zijn ster is een rode ultrakoele dwerg, met slechts ongeveer 8% van de massa van de zon (dicht bij de grens tussen bruine dwergen en waterstofverbruikende sterren). Daardoor hebben sterren als TRAPPIST-1 het vermogen om vier tot vijf biloen jaar stabiel te blijven, 400-500 keer langer dan de zon. Vanwege dit vermogen om lang te leven, is het waarschijnlijk dat TRAPPIST-1 een van de laatst overgebleven sterren in het heelal zal zijn, wanneer het gas dat nodig is om nieuwe sterren te vormen uitgeput zal zijn, en de bestaande sterren beginnen af te sterven.

De planeet is waarschijnlijk opgesloten in een getijdenstelsel, waarbij één kant van zijn hemisfeer permanent naar de ster is gericht, terwijl de andere kant in eeuwige duisternis is gehuld. Maar tussen deze twee intense gebieden zou een strook bewoonbaar zijn, de zogeheten terminator-lijn, waar de temperatuur (ongeveer 273 K, 0 °C) geschikt zou kunnen zijn voor vloeibaar water. Bovendien zou een veel groter deel van de planeet bewoonbaar kunnen zijn als het een atmosfeer heeft die dik genoeg is om warmte over te brengen naar de kant die van de ster af is gekeerd.

Gedetailleerdere studies van TRAPPIST-1e en de andere TRAPPIST-1 planeten die in 2018 zijn vrijgegeven, hebben vastgesteld dat de planeet een van de werelden is met de grootste omvang van de aarde die is gevonden, met 91% de straal, 77% de massa, 102,4% de dichtheid (5,65 g/cm3), en 93% de oppervlaktezwaartekracht. TRAPPIST-1e is bevestigd een aardse planeet te zijn met een vast, rotsachtig oppervlak. Het is koel genoeg voor vloeibaar water om zich op het oppervlak te verzamelen, maar niet te koud om te bevriezen zoals op TRAPPIST-1f, g, en h. De planeet ontvangt een stellaire flux 0,604 maal die van de Aarde, ongeveer een derde lager dan die van de Aarde maar aanzienlijk meer dan die van Mars. Zijn temperatuur varieert van 225 K (-48 °C) tot 246,1 K (-27,1 °C), afhankelijk van hoeveel licht de planeet in de ruimte weerkaatst. Beide liggen ook tussen die van de Aarde en Mars. Het is bevestigd dat TRAPPIST-1e een compacte, waterstofvrije atmosfeer heeft, zoals de rotsachtige planeten in het zonnestelsel, wat de kans op bewoonbaarheid nog groter maakt. Waterstof is een krachtig broeikasgas, dus als er genoeg zou zijn om gemakkelijk waar te nemen, zou dat betekenen dat het oppervlak van TRAPPIST-1e onherbergzaam zou zijn. Aangezien zo'n atmosfeer niet aanwezig is, verhoogt dat de kans dat de planeet in plaats daarvan een meer aardachtige atmosfeer heeft.

Omdat het een van de meest veelbelovende potentieel bewoonbare exoplaneten is, zal TRAPPIST-1e een vroeg doelwit zijn van de James Webb Space Telescope. Deze telescoop, met 24 december 2021 als doeldatum voor de lancering, zal gebruikt worden om de atmosfeer van de planeet grondiger te analyseren zodat makkelijker kan worden gezocht naar chemische tekenen van leven of biosignaturen.

The Lebanese Electoral Assistance Project (LEAP) affiliated to the UNDP organized yesterday a workshop on "Electoral Laws and Women's Participation". The workshop which was attended by a number of women who have presented their candidacy to the next parliamentary elections and representatives of local and international civil society organizations, discussed ways to strengthen women's participation in political life.
The UNDP Country Director Mr. Luca Renda, emphasized that supporting national efforts for strengthening a comprehensive political process as well as strengthening women's participation in elections is a key concern on the agenda of the United Nations. He noted that women's political participation in Lebanon is limited and does not exceed 3% in parliament as the 2009 elections only resulted in bringing in four women parliamentarians. This is particularly alarming since globally, women's representation in parliaments has increased two fold since the year 2000.
The workshop, which was funded by the European Union, included an address by The Political Affairs Officer at UNSCOL Chantal Sarkis, who pointed out to the low global status of Lebanon having recoded a 135th ranking in terms of women's participation in political life.

Q: How can I connect my java phone's internet to my pc? Itried a lot to connect my java mobile for sharing internet in my phone. But I don't know how to make the connection true. How can I connect my mobile phone(java) as a mobile broadband to share internet to my computer?

A: You have to search on google: active tethering and router wifi and so you will have istructions .
Before you can see if you model support you option on this site
Update:
see this guide official of samsung because you model can share internet

A: This is really going to depend on the phone. In some instances you are going to have to install a program in the google market place to download a tethering app. In other cases, tethering is already included in the phone. If I go to settings, more networks, and go to tethering and mobile hotspot it will give the option for me to tether my phone using usb, or wifi. This is also going to depend on your service provider because some service providers lock down tethering unless you have a plan aka MetroPCS. In some cases, like one of my older phones you can get around this using one of the tethering apps, but in other cases the phone is really locked down and the only options are to either pay or to root your phone using something like multirom.

For years I have volunteered in some capacity or another with various groups and I love it. From racing to the Cancer Society and beyond, I love helping others plain and simple.
For me, I can't always afford to donate to things in a monetary capacity, but I can and do donate my time where I can. I admit I did feel burnt out with volunteering a few years ago (I overdid it slightly) and had to step back and re-evaluate how to best help out. But now I'm re-energized and re-focused so this year my big volunteer project is a very non-mom themed one.
Early in the year my darling wonderful BFF Jackie (who knows how much I love to craft) told me her daughter was enrolled in Sparks and invited me out to check it out and help out. I got hooked immediately. I freely admit there are MANY MANY MANY a moment when this non-mom wishes she had one of her own, so any time I get to spend with kids I cherish and so enjoy. Jackie laughs I'm sure at how I light up when I see her kids and so do my other friends when I see theirs too. I love munchkin time.
I started the paperwork process as quick as I could to get cleared and signed up to be a Sparks leader this year and I swear it's one of my best decisions ever. I beyond look forward to the meetings and while intimidated slightly at the beginning, I'm slowly settling into a routine with the girls and the meetings. I get to help the girls learn and grow in positive ways and in a program that I myself went through and believe strongly in. If I had a daughter, believe me, they'd be in the program.
I get to give back to the community and some amazing girls, and in return I get to smile and indeed, as my leader name indicates: Sparkle!
Do you volunteer? What has been your favourite or most rewarding volunteering experience?

The majority of the people I volunteer with have children in guiding as well. So from one non-mom to another thank you for sharing!

Waleed turns on energy minister after news Australian households face $50m bill to keep the lights on
THE outspoken host of The Project Waleed Aly turned on the energy minister after news of power bills soaring by $50 million.

WALEED Aly has laid into Josh Frydenberg over power bills, with The Project co-host telling the energy minister: "This is an abject failure of policy."
After the news households face a $50 million bill just to keep lights on and fridges running this summer, the Channel 10 star was blunt with the minister: "I love a candlelit dinner as much as the next sensitive new-aged guy, but given this was entirely foreseeable and we have rolling blackouts this summer, doesn't this necessarily mean it's your fault?"
The energy market operator has warned blackouts could hit at least two states as we enter a blistering summer, with coal-fuelled power stations closing down and a lack of reserve electricity suppliers.
The Australian Energy Marketing Operator, which manages the national power system, said in a report delivered to Mr Frydenberg on Monday that the existing network will fail. It warned the country would need to pay businesses with private gas and diesel generators to be on standby to provide emergency power.
"This was all foreseeable," Aly told the minister. "That's why we have policy to try to generate interest and investment in renewables and you've trashed it."

Mr Frydenberg insisted it wasn't his fault, and that the greatest concerns in the report were over Victoria and South Australia, where the state governments had overseen the closure of coal-fired power stations.
He said the Government was now focusing on trying to keep 45-year-old Liddell power station in NSW open for longer to generate emergency power — but Aly said that wasn't good enough.
"It feels like magical thinking to me," he said. "They've said they're going to close this down ... This is a company decision made on commercial grounds. That's what's coming to us."
Mr Frydenberg said there was "record investment in renewables" with "$7 billion worth of investments under way", but Aly was unmoved. "It should be far further long than it is," he said. "We should have that renewable power right now ready to go."
Mr Frydenberg this morning acknowledged on ABC radio that having a network of private generators on standby could cost up to $50 million, which would be passed on to energy users.
"Well, $50 million spread across the Australian consumer base is not a lot of money in the scheme of things," he said. "And in return, you are going to get sufficient capacity to helpfully avoid any disruptions to energy supply. So this is the reality that we find ourselves in."

And things could get even worse, with AEMO warning: "A strategic reserve of around 1000 megawatts of flexible dispatchable energy resources is required to maintain supply reliability in South Australia and Victoria over next summer.
"New mechanisms to deliver these reserves must be identified and in place in time for 2018-19."
Electricity giant AGL has now come under enormous pressure to cave to Government pleas to keep a large NSW coal-fired power station open.
Malcolm Turnbull noted the hefty profits electricity generators such as AGL have been making. "I make no observation other than to say that the principal beneficiaries of the recent — well, the only beneficiaries, frankly — of the recent increases in electricity prices have been the electricity companies," Mr Turnbull told reporters in Canberra.
AGL wants to close the Liddell power station in the Hunter Valley by 2022 but the Government has called for the coal-fired facility to be kept open for another five years at least, suggesting energy shortfalls over the coming two summers could be worsened by its closure.
AGL chief executive Andy Vesey tweeted yesterday: "We're getting out of coal. We committed to the closure of the Liddell power station in 2022, the end of its operating life.
"Keeping old coal plants open won't deliver the reliable, affordable energy our customers need."
The Prime Minister said AGL had told him it was prepared to "discuss the sale of the power station to a responsible party". The Snowy Hydro 2.0 project will not be available in time to fill the gap.

Biggest threat to the open Internet…spammers?
For all the talk of net neutrality and Ted Stevens' tubes, it seems the biggest threat to the Internet is the spammers. Today companies spend millions of dollars to keep their emails from getting routed to junk email folders. And heaven forbid if you should deploy a trackback-enabled weblog without some form of blacklisting. If you want to run a service on Web 2.0, your destiny will be to fight spam. Fighting spam is expensive, ergo if you want to run just about anything, no matter how small, your destiny will be to spend a lot of money. Or go out of business. It's a shame I tell you.
Hate bloggers trying too hard to be "controversial" are another big problem.

Sunday Final Nationals: Increased Growth for 'Little Big Shots' in Time Slot Premiere on NBC
NBC's 'The Carmichael Show' Reaches Series-Highs, UniMas+Univision Deportes Delivers Top Rated Regular Season Club Soccer Match on TV in Six Years

FOX drama "9-1-1: Lone Star" — Grade the series premiere episode
AMC was once again victorious on Sunday night in all key demos (2.4 adults 18-49 rating, 1.9 adults 18-34 rating, 2.8 adults 25-54 rating) with "The Walking Dead". But it was NBC's revamped Sunday lineup — with an average of 7.79 million — that won prime time among total viewers. It's the first time NBC has won an in-season Sunday outright among solely the broadcast networks in adults 18-49 with a full night of entertainment series programming (which means not counting sports like the NFL) in nearly 12 years (since April 8, 2004 with "Dateline," a repeat "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" and "Crossing Jordan"). It's also the first time NBC has won an in-season Sunday night among the broadcast networks in total viewers with a full night of entertainment series programming in nearly 12 years (since May 16, 2004 with "Dateline," "L&O: Criminal Intent" and "Crossing Jordan").
The regular-slot premiere of "Little Big Shots" was NBC's most-watched Sunday night regularly-scheduled entertainment telecast (excluding post-Super Bowl shows) in more than a decade, since "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" on March 13, 2005 (15.715 million). It increased its total audience by +17 percent from its Mar. 8 preview.
Unsurprisingly, NBC has already renewed "Little Big Shots" for a second season.
The regular-slot second-season premiere of NBC sitcom "The Carmichael Show" set series records in 18-49 and total viewers. With the assistance of its "Little Big Shots" lead-in, it topped the prior record by +17 percent in 18-49 (1.4 vs. 1.2 on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2015).
Univision Deportes delivered strong ratings for El Súper Clásico soccer match between Chivas and Guadalajara that aired on UniMás. The match was the highest rated regular season club soccer match on any network, regardless of language, among total viewers and adults 18-49, since 2010. The match's audience from UniMás and Univision Deportes combined to average 2.914 million total viewers and 1.773 million adults 18-49. On that night, UDN (Univision Deportes Network) ranked as the second most-watched cable sports network, regardless of language, in primetime among total viewers and adults 18-49, outperforming Fox Sports 1, NBC Sports Network and ESPN2.
For those who tuned into at least six minutes of the match, the telecast reached 4.7 million total viewers and 2.9 million adults 18-49, outperforming all NBA games on ESPN and NHL matches on NBC for the current season-to-date. The telecast also grew +1 percent among Total Viewers 2+ and +5 percent among Adults 18-49 from the Clausura 2015 Súper Clásico on Univision Deportes.
Source: Nielsen fast ratings, NPM, L+SD data
Coverage of El Súper Clásico match made UniMás the No. 1 broadcast station during the time period (9:15pm-11:30pm ET, live across time zones) among:
· Adults 18-49 in Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas and Phoenix
· Adults 18-34 in Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix and Sacramento
El Súper Clásico was the No.1 broadcast program of the day among:
· Adults 18-49 in Los Angeles and Phoenix
· Adults 18-34 in Phoenix

Thank you for going back in time to get this data for me today! I really hate to do this, but could I also have 'Lily Cole's Art Matters'(Ovation) from this day? It's the last one I'm missing from March. There's no rush obviously, and thanks again for everything you do!
Also, can I have an update on the project I emailed you about? If you haven't gotten to it yet, it's completely fine, I've been really busy too lately; I just need to know when I should have the $$$ set aside for. Thanks again!!
