Indonesia head coach Simon McMenemy has named his squad for the upcoming international friendly against Myanmarto be held at the Mandalarthiri Stadium in Mandalay on March 25.
The Scottish coach, who replaced Bima Sakti at the Tim Garuda helm in December 2018, has included the likes of Bali Untied forward Ilija Spasojevic and Madura United striker Greg Nwokolo in his 22-man squad.
Indonesia had played out a 1-1 draw against Bali United in a friendly match in Bali the other day. They had also recorded wins against Perth Glory and a State League Australia All Stars side during their preparations in Australia last week.
"The training in Perth was great and players could enjoy and focus on learning how to play with a slightly different formation. There are still things that need to be fixed, but I am happy with the progress we have made," said former Philippines head coach McMenemy.
"I am looking forward to facing Myanmar in the friendly on March 25 and I am confident that if the players can demonstrate what we have worked on in the training, we will produce a positive result," the 41-year-old coach added.
Meanwhile, Myanmar were held to a goalless draw by Chinese Taipei in their first friendly of the international break on March 19.

Renewables needs more people argues Samuel Knight International.
Meeting demand.
Samuel Knight International, has warned that there's simply not enough workers to meet ongoing demand in the renewables sector. The company cite demand for solar plant maintenance being set to double, with renewables firms set to replicate climate change action outcry to get more people into energy. The forecast comes fromWood Mackenzie who believe the annual cost of operating and maintaining solar energy plants is set to double in the next five years.
According to the firm, the gap between supply and demand for solar and other renewable energy experts is increasing at an alarming rate, putting future projects at risk. While a sustainable source of talent needs to be developed for the long term, the energy hiring specialists has called on employers across the specialism to match the global outcry for climate change action to demonstrate to the wider public why energy needs more people.
"There's a real global shortage of available solar energy experts and we're noticing a vast increase in the skills gap in the sector," said Lara Anton, Renewable Energy Consultant at Samuel Knight International. "While we're working with professionals across the world to attract and entice them into the many exciting opportunities across the States, this alone isn't sustainable. Just as there are global calls for more renewable energy options for consumers, there should also be worldwide outcry at the lack of people working in solar and other sustainable energy sources."

Did you know that it's estimated that 30% of our world's population is addicted to nicotine? Nicotine, which can be consumed via cigarettes, chewing tobacco, patches and several other forms, is rapidly absorbed into bloodstream, and within the matter of seconds, will reach your brain and ignite a rush of adrenaline and pleasure.
More specifically, once introduced into the vascular system, nicotine infused plasma reaches the brain, triggering the release of hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, epinephrine norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine. Then, Beta-endorphin, arginine and vasopressin quickly follow these chemical messengers in unison causing subtle yet powerful psychoactive effects in the user, and before you know it, you're hooked.
Ask any nicotine user why he or she smokes or chews tobacco, and he or she might reply something along the lines of "it reduces my anxiety" or it "relaxes me." In regards to the feeling of relaxation, that is due to a powerful combination of acute acetylcholine and beta-endorphin releases which causes a pain reducing effect, and makes the user feel relaxed while stimulating the nervous system. Meanwhile, a reduction in anxiety can be accredited to increased levels of active beta-endorphin, while dopamine's enjoyable effects are prolonged and pronounced by nicotine.
What's more, increased acetylcholine improves your concentration and memory, while more norepinephrine causes sensory arousal, and enhanced alertness due to it being released simultaneously alongside acetylcholine. It only takes a quick gander at the science of nicotine to help you understand why so many people fall victim to addiction to cigarettes, chewing tobacco, snuff and other products.
Unfortunately, like many addictive substances, the more nicotine you consume, the more your body builds a tolerance, forcing you to consume more nicotine in order to meet your cravings and avoid anguishing withdrawal symptoms.
Overcoming a nicotine addiction is much easier said than done, and the overwhelming majority of people that suffer from the condition need outside help.
That's where Envision Recovery can help. Using Ibogaine alkaloid, we help people with a wide range of addictions overcome their hardship.
The Ibogaine alkaloid exists in a class of its own, as it is nonspecific in its interaction at a multitude of receptor subtypes. It is collectively agreed that the most pronounced anti-addictive results of Ibogaine in relation to nicotine use are due to the Ibogaine alkaloid's antagonism of the Alpha-3 beta-4 nicotinic receptor at the nAChRs site.
Applying the correct dosage of Ibogaine following 24 hours of abstinence from nicotine assures Ibogaine's ability to inhibit nicotinic alpha3beta4 acetylcholine receptors, which crushes nicotine withdrawals in their tracks, resets the person's tolerance and permanently eliminates cravings associated with the continued use of nicotine.
If you're searching for mental and physical freedom from nicotine, then Ibogaine is ideal for you. For more information, please don't hesitate to contact us today.

Campaigns about the fall of Ben Ali in Tunisia: how the media serves the 'democratic' bourgeoisie
Submitted by ICConline on 19 January, 2011 - 23:07
For weeks, all the democratic states, with France at their head, have been supporting Ben Ali's blood-soaked regime. There was an almost total black-out of information even though all these governments knew exactly what was happening in Tunisia. All the bourgeois media justified this disinformation by letting on that the country was experiencing riots but was in a confused, chaotic situation which was very difficult to understand. We were supposed to think that no one really knew what was going on. Lies! The savagery of the repression was known about all over the world. Thanks to the video footage put out on the internet by the young demonstrators, by tourists and journalists, all this information was by no means hidden. The reign of silence regarding the crimes of Ben Ali's murderers was deliberately imposed by the governments and their tame media. The strikes, street demonstrations, revolts in high schools and universities were blacked out so that proletarians in the democratic countries would not feel concerned about the repression of the movement and show their solidarity. Now, after the fall of Ben Ali, tongues are untied and all the cameras are focused on the 'revolution' in Tunisia. Immediately after the official announcement of Ben Ali's departure, when a state of emergency was being imposed and the army was being deployed all over the country, the French TV networks showed us pictures of the Tunisian community celebrating, especially in Paris. But prior to that, for week after week, nothing was shown of the daily demonstrations which were being repressed by the police, whereas images of the immense crowds thronging Bourguiba avenue in Tunis on 14 January are suddenly being broadcast by all the TV networks. Representatives of the political class, experts and special envoys are now being invited to join a grand democratic debate about the situation in Tunisia. And now of course this whole crew is taking its distance from the Ben Ali regime and glorifying "the courage and dignity of the Tunisian people", to use Obama's own words. The fall of Ben Ali is now on the front pages of the newspapers whereas for weeks previously the torment of the Tunisian population was not seen as being worthy of much ink. This kind of hypocrisy is not gratuitous. If the media are now inundating us with real time information after weeks of black-out, it's certainly not because the ruling class of the democratic countries is now "on the side of the Tunisian people", as the French government declared with such boundless cynicism , three days after offering its services to Ben Ali's repressive forces! If the bourgeoisie of the democratic countries, with its whole apparatus of media manipulation, has now changed its tune and is praising the "jasmine revolution" in Tunisia, it's because it is in its interests to do so. The fate of Ben Ali has given it the opportunity to unleash a huge campaign about the benefits of democracy.
The bourgeois media continue to lie when they present the lawyers' strike of 6 January as the motor force behind the revolt. They lie when they claim that it is an educated youth belonging to the "middle class" which brought the dictator down. They lie when they claim that the only aspiration of the exploited class and the younger generation who were at the heart of the movement is to obtain freedom of expression, They lie when they hide the deeper reasons for the anger: poverty, the near 55% unemployment which affects young graduates and which provoked a number of suicides at the beginning of the movement. It is this reality, a result of the aggravation of the world economic crisis, which the media campaign around the fall of Ben Ali is now trying to mask. The only objective behind the media enthusiasm for the "Tunisian revolution" is to intoxicate the minds of the exploited, to derail their struggles against poverty and unemployment onto the terrain of defending the democratic bourgeois state which is just another, more insidious and hypocritical form of capitalist dictatorship

Deconstruction is like Lego bricks — you build, and then you dismantle the bricks to build something else. Building deconstruction means selectively dismantling building components so you can reuse the parts in future construction projects.
Traditionally old houses have been demolished or to clear a building site, and the new house is built from new materials. With the green movement, there is more deconstruction or harvesting old materials commonly considered waste and reclaiming it for new construction projects to add character, save money and reduce the amount of debris sent to landfills.
Like children's Lego blocks, buildings can now be broken down into reusable materials and you'd be surprised what they are recycling.
Maybe you've already done some deconstruction when remodeling your home. It's common to take displaced kitchen cabinets and put them in the garage for more storage. When we put an addition on our Victorian home to create an open kitchen/family room, the kitchen cabinets moved to the apartment on the third floor. It was fun watching my builder figure out where the corner cabinets would go, and finally he found the perfect corner inside my new walk-in closet. The lesson I learned – trust your builder/remodeler who has lots more experience than you.
DEconstruction: Legos for Building, introduces deconstruction and how it saves money.
Green Home Design and Deconstruction, explains deconstruction an an integral part of the building life cycle.
Buy Versus Reuse Building Materials, provides an overview on reusing building materials.
Assuming you're building a new house or remodeling, the first thing you need to do is identify all the components of the existing house you can reuse and you'll be surprised at how many there are. One deconstruction project started with 660 sq ft house. The owners decided to make their new house an experiment to see if they could recycle everything without spending more money than traditional, new construction.
The REX Project, for Reuse Everything Experiment (visit owner Shannon Quimby's blog), was widely successful as the homeowners saved $40,000 over the cost of building a 2800 sq ft home. Rather than try to explain how they did it, watch the video and see for yourself. Common items that get reused include kitchen and bathroom cabinets, sinks and related hardware, doors and windows, flooring, wood trim that adds character to a house and even siding, especially wood shingles that add a finishing touch to the front of a house.
Architectural salvage businesses have been around a long time. Living in the northeast with lots of older homes, we're used to going here to find parts to repair broken windows.
Reclamation yards and dismantling contractors that are involved in deconstruction projects all the time, have a much better idea of what they can use.
Not-for-profit groups like Habitat for Humanity's ReStores that offer both new and used items for home construction.
Community networks like the Freecycle Network offer another option although you won't know which items people want until you advertise them.
There are some materials that you won't be able to recycle, or at least not without substantial costs. Lead paint and asbestos are the most common hazardous materials that must be handled carefully and disposed of properly.
It's common to remove larger, easy to handle components first like appliances, windows and doors, cabinets and trim. Deconstructing or "soft-stripping" these non-structural items which may also include boilers (or furnaces), hot water heaters, toilets, bathtubs/showers and sinks, allowed the Peoria Housing Authority to $2,500/house before demolition of 400 single family homes.
As building components are dismantled, they need to be stored in a secure location to prevent theft. It's also important this be a dry location to avoid water damage. Once items are separated from the structure, they will be cleaned and refinished in preparation for reuse so another important feature is keeping an accurate inventory of materials on hand for your new home.
I really didnt think that you could save $40,000 by effectivle "recycling" house hold furnishings.
Frank, I was pretty amazed myself and the more people who think this way, follow their ideas and share the results, the sooner we'll all become smarter consumers. I saw the thermal ductwork on your website & have never seen this before. Can you share more about when & where it's used. Most common problem I find with my handyman business is builders ending the bathroom ducts in the attic and creating moisture & mold problems.

I created an linux live usb (fedora 18) using unetbootin on my mountain lion. The problem is that when I try to boot from it, I can't. When the laptop boot, I press F9 to choose from where it have to boot and I select the USB, but chimera starts normally like is booting from the hard disk. How can I solve the problem?
What kind of USB stick? You might need to try a different one. And make sure it is in a USB2 port.
RM, is a 2GB USB stick with no brand (birthday present). I use it to try new linux live distros. In the past, I had no problem using it (I always created it on windows).
I tried all the USB2 ports and the USB3 port with no results.
Check with fdisk whether the partition on the usb stick that contains linux is flagged as active. If not, set it so.
Thank you. Using fdisk I solved my problem. Now it boot from the USB but it stack at the initial fedora 18 logo. I think is an unetbootin problem (maybe is too old program). It exist any other program (newer) that I can use instead of unetbootin on mountain lion?
Not that I'm aware of, unfortunately. Windows has excellent LinuxLive USB Creator (LiLi) and Universal USB Installer, you might want to use a Windows-powered machine to create an USB stick or set up a Virtualbox-based environment with Windows and do so there. That would be the most fail proof method.
There is a way to copy contents of an ISO to the usb stick with dd, not sure whether grub2 (the bootloader) will be working after that though.
Thank you for your help. One more question: Please, if you can, explain me the differences between debian, ubuntu and mint.. Basically are the same, right?
Debian was historically the first one. Ubuntu was build upon Debian (and uses lots of its features, .deb packaging system for example). Mint is a "fork" of Ubuntu - Ubuntu moved into their new Unity desktop interface while Mint developed its own Mate (based on GNOME 2) and Cinnamon (based on GNOME 3) desktop environments.
Keeping it short: each system is targeted towards different groups of users. While Debian keeps to its roots and lets users have total control over their system (netinstall is an *amazing* way to install the system without any unnecessary crap), Ubuntu and Mints are focusing more on desktop usability, ease of use and maximum hardware compatibility (out-of-the-box, anything is doable in Debian as well).
If you are beginning your journey with Linux, I highly recommend to try Ubuntu first. If you find its Unity desktop environment difficult to use and too "revolutional", try Mint.
Thank you for the easy to understand explication. I started to use mint 14 cinnamon and maybe is the emotion of the new OS, but I noticed that is very responsive and smooth, maybe more than os x too. Is an almost perfect alternative to os x.
Thanks again to introduce me in the linux (mint) world!

Q: C++ map insertion using [] I see that the code in subscript operator is like this for a std::map when the key is not found. But here they add a default value.
__i = insert(__i, value_type(__k, mapped_type()));

Now if I do
std::map<std::string,int> mapped;
mapped["current"] = 5;

I wanted to know how is this pair added to the map using the above statement.

A: operator[] inserts the element of the map if it was not found, and then returns it.
Therefore, the parameters key (__i) and value (__k) are added to the map.
This is one STL implementation:
_Tp& operator[](const key_type& k) { // k is the parameter you passed

    iterator i = lower_bound(k);

    // if i -> first >= k then insert a place for the new element.
   if (i == end() || key_comp()(k, (*i).first))
       i = insert(i, value_type(k, _Tp()));

    // return a reference to the element mapped to by the key
    return i -> second;
 }

Since a reference is returned, this acts the exact same way as accessing an array does:

William Tecumseh Sherman Fitch III (born 1963) is an American evolutionary biologist and cognitive scientist at the University of Vienna (Vienna, Austria) where he is co-founder of the Department of Cognitive Biology.

Fitch studies the biology and evolution of cognition and communication in humans and other animals, and in particular the evolution of speech, language and music. His work concentrates on comparative approaches as advocated by Charles Darwin (i.e., the study of homologous and analogous structures and processes in a wide range of species).

Fitch was born in Boston and received his B.A. (1986) in biology and his Ph.D. (1994) in Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences from Brown University. From 1996 to 2000, he worked as a Postdoctoral fellow at MIT and Harvard University. He was a lecturer at Harvard University and a reader at the University of St Andrews, before moving to a professorship at the University of Vienna in 2009.

He bears the name of his third generation great grandfather, Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman, as did his father and grandfather before him.

Ability of monkeys to speak

Fitch and colleagues used x-ray recordings of a macaque monkey named Emiliano producing various sounds to make a model of Emiliano's vocal tract. The model showed that a macaque could produce a variety of vowel and non-vowel phonemes adequate for intelligible speech. In a simulation, "Emiliano" said "Will you marry me?" in a recognizable manner, demonstrating that the anatomy of monkeys does not limit them from producing complex speech. In conclusion, Fitch stated that "If a human brain were in control, they could talk".

We see these words on a daily basis, on most of the things that we own. The tea mug that I'm drinking from is made in China. The chair that I'm sitting in is made in China. My laptop, iPad and iPhone are made in China. There are only a few places in my life that have been completely free from anything made in China, and one of them has been my pen case. I can't help but feel that Made in China is a dirty phrase in the pen world, especially considering things like the recent Esterbrook controversy, where the revamped American pen company tried to obscure the fact that its revamped pens would be made in China. Despite the negative associations with Chinese pens to poor quality, there's a name that keeps popping up in my news feed and has even made it to mainstream pen sites like Goulet Pens, and that's Jinhao. I set out to test just how well Jinhao held up to its western competitors and wanted to see just how much bang I could get for my buck.
The total cost of the pen, including shipping, should be less than $5.
The pen should be larger. I've always wanted to try a larger pen, but I prefer smaller pens for everyday writing. There's no way that I would spend a large amount on a large pen, but I was willing to spend $5.
The pen must be orange. There's no rational reason for this, except that I like orange.
My search led to the Jinhao 159, a large fountain pen with a bright orange enamel. I managed to find one on Amazon for a grand total of, I kid you not, $3.28 including shipping. I chose a medium nib, since the fine-nib version was nearly three times the price. The order came with a month ship time and little guarantee that it would ever arrive. I've been burned by ordering items directly from China in the past, so I had no expectation of ever seeing my bright orange Chinese friend. I was shocked when the pen arrived in less than two weeks, all for the low-low price of $3.28. The Pen Economics blog has an excellent article on how this low pricing might be possible, but I figured that its pricing was just reflective of the pen's crappy quality.
I removed my Jinhao 159 from its cheap shipping envelope and was greeted by a bright orange pen that actually appeared to be well made. The pen's metal body had a surprising heft. The pen has shiny chrome accents that recess nicely into the pen body, and the clip, although not quite my taste aesthetically, is very sturdy. The Jinhao has the appearance of a $50-$100 pen from a distance and mostly holds up to closer scrutiny. There is a small manufacturing defect in the enamel, where the clip meets the pen cap, and the pen has a plastic cap insert that cheapens the look, but these require close inspection to notice.
The Jinhao 159's grip is a standard smooth black plastic grip. It's a fatter grip than I'm used to, but I'm surprised by just how much I enjoy it. Like most smooth plastic grips, the Jinhao's grip becomes very slippery during long writing sessions; however, I'll leave my novel writing to pens like the Lamy 2000.
The cap of the Jinhao 159 has a threaded fit and caps very securely. The pen can be posted, but the cap wobbles too much for it to be comfortable, and ratcheting down the cap will likely damage the enamel. Since the 159 is a large pen, it nestles comfortably in the webbing between my thumb and index finger without the cap.
The Jinhao 159 comes with a standard piston converter, which holds a hilariously small amount of ink, compared to the pen's size. The pen's size can also make it difficult to fill with smaller ink bottles or ink samples, and the grip of the pen is too large to fit in the 30ml bottles of Diamine that I typically use. Fortunately, it's pretty easy to pop the converter out, fill it with an ink bottle, and then pop it back into the pen. This certainly isn't ideal, so make sure you have some larger bottles of ink on hand for easy filling.
I've read some terrible things about the nib quality of Jinhao pens, so I had zero expectations for the nib's performance. I was pleasantly surprised when the medium nib slid smoothly across the page. The nib is hard as nails, but that's to be expected from a steel nib. The Jinhao medium reminds me of a TWSBI fine, which leaves a slightly thicker line than a western fine. There may be manufacturing differences in nib quality, but the one that I received functioned perfectly. After writing an entire article and playing around with the Jinhao 159 for several days, I'm pleasantly surprised by just how will it performs for under $4. Those looking for a better nib quality should turn to a standard replacement #6 nib, which you can find on sites like Goulet Pens.
Although the Jinhao 159 won't make it into my daily rotation, I may keep it in my office, or somewhere where I may need a pen but don't want to risk losing a more expensive one. The Jinhao 159 is certainly worth the $3.00-$5.00 Amazon price tag, and it's even a great value for $10-$15, if you go through official channels like Goulet Pens. It's a great starter pen for those who want to try a cheap fountain pen before moving on to a more expensive model.

The Impeachment Library
Celebrated Supreme Court Lawyer Neal Katyal Is Releasing His First Book, and It's About Impeachment
On stage at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit, the former acting solicitor general announced that his book will make the case for impeaching Trump.
By Erin Vanderhoof
Since his time as acting solicitor general in the Obama administration—where he defended the Affordable Care Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act—Neal Katyal hasn't stopped arguing cases in the Supreme Court. (He even broke Thurgood Marshall's record for cases argued by a minority lawyer in front of the court in 2017.) But since the beginning of Donald Trump 's presidency, Katyal has taken some of that rhetorical skill to the public arena, appearing on cable news, contributing opinion pieces to the New York Times, and sharing his thoughts to his more than 300,000 followers on Twitter.
Next month, he's putting some of his wisdom to the page. Onstage at Vanity Fair's New Establishment Summit Tuesday, in a conversation with musician and activist John Legend, he announced that he had signed a contract to release his first book. Impeach: The Case Against Donald Trump, written with Sam Koppelman will be released by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt on November 26.
In the book, Katyal, who is a partner at Hogan Lovells and a professor at Georgetown University Law Center, discusses the legal context of impeachment and argues that the Ukraine scandal more than qualifies as an impeachable offense, adding that President Trump's lack of accountability for his actions might be fatal to American democracy.

Focus Group, winning the John's Call, last August at Saratoga.|NYRA
Thorougbreds Saturday: Garrity's got the Man O' War plus two more stakes at Belmont, plus Monmouth and Santa Anita
Enjoy your day then start your race-watching at 4:45 pm EDT
Chris Garrity
We're back for another Saturday, and while one might think that the Saturday between the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness would be a quiet one in the horse racing world, that is decidedly not the case: the deck is stacked, as it were, with stakes races from coast to coast, with the headliner being Belmont Park, which today runs the Man O' War Racing Festival. There are so many stakes, in fact, that we cannot cover them all , but we are going to highlight the ones we think are noteworthy, and which offer betting potential. We expect the weather to be fine for all the races we selected, so we're handicapping for fast and firm. Let's go.
At Belmont, there's a quintet of stakes, with the headliner being the Grade 1 Man O' War, which features horses 4 and up going a mile and 3/8 on the grass. It goes as Race 10 in Elmont, with a scheduled post time of 6:24 pm (as always, all times here are Eastern).
Usually, "horses 4 and up" means males: This condition is open to either sex, but females running against the boys is unusual. But that's what we have today: in a race with some of the top turf horses currently in training, like 1-Hunting Horn, 2-Zulu Alpha, and 8-Channel Maker, there's a filly in here, the Aiden O'Brien-trained 5-Magic Wand. This 4-year-old daughter of all-time great turf sire Galileo has been running in the highest-class races in the world, like the Dubai Sheema Classic, the Breeders Cup Filly & Mare Turf, and the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamps. At 3-1, she figures to get a lot of support at the windows.
We will be frank here: we are a sucker for Euro horses who come to North America to run in turf stakes races, and we are a sucker for females running against the boys. But we don't like Magic Wand in this one: The historical record of horses making their first start in the U.S. after racing in Dubai is poor; these horses very frequently lose, usually at very, very short prices. Because of this, we think that Magic Wand is a play against, and because of the Dubai angle, we also dislike her Coolmore/O'Brien stablemate, Hunting Horn, whose last race was also in Dubai.
We like 6-Focus Group. This Chad Brown trainee is in top form, and the distance suits him to a tee: At 11 furlongs, he has two wins in two career starts. Turf racing in general, and turf stakes in particular, are usually won by the horse with the strongest closing kick, and Focus Group has that: He has a significant edge in the late-speed ratings, and he will be rolling late. Because of the parimutuel support that the Coolmore horses will get -- they always get bet -- we think that Focus Group is a fantastic win play: we think we will get something close to his 5/2 morning-line win odds. When you have the best horse, who's in the best form, and you're getting this kind of price, there's only one thing to do, and that's remove the rubber band from the bankroll. We will bet him to win. The bet: Belmont Park, Race 10, $50 to win on 6-Focus Group.
On the Man O' War undercard, there are two races that we like: the Grade 3 Beaugay, which is Race 7 and which goes off at 4:45 pm, and the $150k Runhappy, which is Race 9 and which has a scheduled post of 5:51 pm.
In the Beaugay, we like another Chad Brown trainee, 5-Homerique. This 4-year-old gray daughter of Exchange Rate has been running in some good French races -- in fact, she finished third in the aforementioned Prix de l'Opera, a nose behind Magic Wand. And while we don't like Magic Wand in the Man O' War, we love Homerique in here: we think she's another very, very good win bet. We expect her to sit midpack, and then to blow the rest of the field away in the stretch. We will bet her to win at 9/5. The bet: Belmont Park, Race 7, $40 to win on Homerique.
The Runhappy has an excellent field: there are some seriously fast horses here. And there are horses in good form, like 2-Skyler's Scramjet and 5-Recruiting Ready. But we like a horse whose recent races were not great: that's 3-Firenze Fire. This 4-year-old Jason Servis trainee is as good as it gets when he's in form, and while he wasn't in form in his last race, a dull third in an overnight stakes at Tampa Bay Downs, a brief freshening, plus a sizzling recent morning workout tab, has us thinking that he's ready to fire. Even better: He loves the racing surface at Belmont; he has 2 wins in 2 career starts at Big Sandy. We think he wakes up today, and if so, he's going to be more than the rest of the field can handle. At 7/2, we think he merits a play. We will bet him to win, and we will also hammer him in the double with Focus Group in the Man O' War, which is the race after the Runhappy. The bets: Belmont Park, Race 9, $25 to win on 3-Firenze Fire; $20 double, 3 (Firenze Fire) with 6 (Focus Group).
We will take a couple of quick peeks at two other stakes races, the Serena's Song at Monmouth and the Santa Barbara at Santa Anita. We picked these because we like the Santa Barbara, and it's good to see racing back at the Jersey shore.
The Serena's Song goes off as Race 10 in Ocenaport; post time is 5:25 pm. It a mile and 70 yards on the dirt for fillies and mares 3 and up, and six are entered.
We like the favorite in here, 5-Forever Liesl. This 5-year-old mare has had buzzard's luck recently: her last six races, going back to last August, have all been on wet tracks. It seems the rain clouds have been following her around. But she will get a fast track today, and we think that is the surface she prefers. She has an edge in speed figures, she has an edge in class, and the projected race shape -- she's a closer in a field with plenty of early speed -- and she's by far the likeliest winner. She's an obvious pick, so her odds will be short, but we'll throw a token win bet on her anyway, at her 6/5 morning-line price, as a celebration of the return of racing at Monmouth, and the fact that this is a harbinger of summer. The bet: Monmouth Park, Race 10, $10 to win on 5-Forever Liesl.
Out West at Santa Anita, the Santa Barbara goes off as Race 5, with a post time of 6:06 pm. It's fillies and mares 3 and up going a mile and a half on the grass. It's a short field of six, but there are some salty runners in here, including 1-Animosity, 2-Causeforcommotion, and 5-Giuliana. But we like another runner in here, the Irish-bred 3-Kodiak West. This 4-year-old Irish-bred filly is trained by Neil Drysdale, our old Playa del Rey neighbor, and she's had a couple of nightmarish recent races, with so much traffic trouble that her running lines are misleading: they distort the fact that she is a very capable runner. With only five other runners to deal with here, we think she should get a clean trip, and we think that's all she needs to win this one. We see her sitting just behind the pacesetters, and taking over the race in the stretch. We will bet her to win at 6-1. The bet: Santa Anita, Race 5, $25 to win on 3-Kodiak West.
That's all for today. Good luck at the windows.

Cotter seeks seat for 99th House
By John Kennett jkennett@mdn.net
Kevin Cotter has gotten a taste of serving in the Michigan House and now the Republican hopes to earn a chance to serve the citizens of the 99th District for a second term.
"I've had no regrets and enjoyed the challenges," the native of Shepherd said.
Holding degrees in business administration and entrepreneurship from Central Michigan University, along with a law degree from Thomas M. Cooley Law School, Cotter opened a law practice in 2006.
Concerned for what the future of Michigan held for his family, the decision came in late 2009 to run for office to represent the district that now includes all of Isabella County plus 10 townships in Midland County.
"I had a family member graduate from CMU with a teaching degree, who spent a year here in Mount Pleasant looking for a job," he said. "After a year the student loan debt was demanding and she was actually hired over the phone to go to Florida."
That concern also carried over to his immediate family.
"I've been married eight years and we would like to start a family," he said. "My wife, Jennifer, and I had a lot of discussion about if things look this way now, how will they look in 2018, 2020?"
His first term included the challenge of passing a state budget that eliminated a huge deficit.
"I hate to use the word accomplishment, because so much pain and so many cuts went into it," Cotter said. "I actually requested to be on the appropriations committee because of the challenges of a $1.5 billion deficit. In the end it felt so good when we came back the next year to start the budget process all over again and came back with a half-billion surplus."
What started out as a rainy day fund of $2.2 million has now grown to be $500 million.
"We know we're going to have downturns," Cotter said. "The alternative is to get into the middle of a fiscal year and realize we don't have enough money coming in to fund the programs we appropriated and then you have to make mid-term cuts."
On Nov. 6, Cotter faces Adam Lawrence in the general election.
"We need to continue to pass good budgets that are sound and get our work done early," Cotter said. "Our fiscal year starts on Oct. 1 and I believe it was 2007 and 2009 when we had brief shutdowns of the state. In 2011, we set a goal of getting the budget done by June 1 and we actually finished our budget on May 26, which is the earliest it had been done in 30 years. We require local entities to get their budgets done early. So, if we don't have our budgets done, they have to base their budgets on best guesses, which is no way to conduct business."
"My feeling is very strongly is that each one of these constitutional amendments (Proposals 2-6) has a special interest group that got this question to the ballot. My feeling is that none of those five belong in the Constitution."
"I am in favor of yes on (Proposal 1). The emergency manager law has been very controversial. Initially, we had a system put in place by Gov. Blanchard. What we did in 2011 is to give the law additional teeth. The situation in Detroit is dire and if we didn't have this in place, we would become California. At my last check, California had three municipalities going through municipal bankruptcy. If we had that happen here, especially in Detroit, the consequences would be felt throughout the state."
PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT
"Currently, when a school district receives its appropriation from the state, they turn around and cut a check back to the state for a contribution to the Michigan Public School Employee Retirement System (MPSERS) program. Currently, that is at 24 percent of payroll. If we would not have acted this year, that was going to go up to 27 percent and the next year it was going to go up to 31 percent. The MPSERS contribution was suffocating school districts and taking more and more money out of the classroom.

"I don't feel my colleagues are anti-teacher. Really, I could make the argument that this was done to be pro-teacher. If we were to sit on our hands, which we very easily could have done, we probably would have experienced much less political fallout. But, it wasn't the right thing to do. We had to act to save the system. There are tens of thousands of people that are retired who have delivered on their end the promises that were made. They served their years and we owe them these benefits. But, if we didn't act, this system would have collapsed, it was just a matter of when."
"The way we are funding roads currently is a broken formula. There are two main revenue sources: vehicle registration and gas tax. The gas tax is the part that is broken. Before we go to the taxpayers and say, 'We need more money.' I think we need to make the best use of the money we have already. How does the money get distributed? Where does the money go? To Detroit or where? I'm going to be looking at that very closely to make sure money gets out to rural areas.'
"We have a sales tax on fuel. That 6 percent is a large amount. ... Instead of going to the general fund, that money should be going to the road fund."
"I think most everyone can agree that the Personal Property Tax is a bad tax. It is a deterrent for business, but at the same time provides essential revenue for local municipalities. There are three components — commercial, industrial and utility. We're going to see an effort to focus on the industrial piece of it and also the diminutive return portion of it on the commercial side. We're going to see some more discussion about it this fall."

WPU Guitarfest 2014 is very fortunate to host a return engagement of internationally acclaimed Brazilian guitar virtuoso Carlos Barbosa Lima. In the year following the Latin Grammy nomination of his ZOHO recordings album Beatlerianas, an all Brouwer tour de force including the Havana String Quartet and guitarist Larry Del Casale, Mr. Barbosa Lima and Mr. Del Casale have been playing concerts and enjoying the critical approval the album has gotten. Statements such as: "Guitar and string quartet aficionados with a taste for 20th century should revel in this disc. The playing is superb throughout and the recording lifelike" (Musicweb International blog) are common.
At our festival, Barbosa Lima will play his solo arrangements and be joined for duets with Mr. Del Casale.
Bradley Colten is a brilliant young player who has appeared around the United States and internationally as a soloist and chamber musician. He is a founding member of the critically acclaimed, award-winning flute/guitar partnership Arc Duo, a pair whose debut CD was hailed in Soundboard Magazine as an "indispensable addition to the guitar's discography".
At our festival this year Mr. Colten will perform works by the American composer Ernst Bacon (1898-1990), whose guitar output has only recently been unearthed by Mr. Colten during his dissertation research. Bacon's deceptively simple melodies and rhythms position him as a "Copland of the guitar", creating a distinctively American style of classical guitar music.
Seth Himmelhoch is professor of guitar at William Paterson, and he is the founder and director of the Suzuki Guitar program at the JCC/Thurnauer School of Music in Tenafly, NJ. He serves as chair of the Guitar Development committee of the Suzuki Association of the Americas. As a Suzuki guitar teacher for over twenty five years, Mr. Himmelhoch has been involved in contributing to the creation of the Suzuki Guitar School repertoire, in performing on the listening CDs, and in the instruction of many students from the earliest to the latest books.
At the festival, Mr. Himmelhoch will screen the DVD "The Sounds of Success", a short documentary on the Suzuki guitar school, and will then lead a seminar and open discussion of the method and the video.

Following the death, at 88, of Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison, sales for her books have seen a sharp increase. As a result, Knopf, her publisher, is working to meet the demand.

Dancing on Ice was noticeably frostier than usual last Sunday, after Gemma Collins had a fiery row with judge Jason Gardiner live on TV.
The twosome clashed after TOWIE star Collins, 37, accused the 47-year-old choreographer of "selling stories" on her, after he called her "lazy" to The Sun.
The heated discussion came after a rough week for Collins, who was also accused by Dancing on Ice hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield of being "unprofessional", following remarks by Kem Cetinay that she had left the live shows early because she was "bored".
Collins went on to request a public apology from the This Morning hosts, saying it would "go a long way".
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com after collecting their National Television Award for Best Daytime Show, Schofield explained, "No, we weren't in trouble [for calling Gemma unprofessional] at all.
"What's lovely is that it's fantastic telly, it's great to watch and I am so thrilled that Gemma is out there and doing it.
Willoughby and Schofield's comments come after fellow judge Ashley Banjo teased that the simmering Dancing on Ice tensions are set to continue.
"I think there's a little more to be said. I'm interested to see what happens," he told RadioTimes.com on the awards ceremony's red carpet.
2018 was a busy year for Willoughby, as Rochelle Humes was drafted in to cover for her while she sat in for Ant McPartlin to present I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! with Declan Donnelly.
"Starting with the friendship first was the really important thing," Willoughby said. "I hadn't worked with Dec before but he's very similar to Phil. It didn't feel that far removed from being at home on the sofa.
"We're like Gwyneth and Chris, we consciously uncoupled," laughed Willoughby.

Saudi school textbooks still 'promote hatred toward religious minorities' – USCIRF

School textbooks in Saudi Arabia still include content "promoting violence and hatred toward religious minorities and others", according to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).
Even though the Saudi government has been "engaged in textbook reform for the last 15 years", a new study by USCIRF found "inflammatory content … that was previously thought to have been removed".
The study, published on Saturday, 24 March, compared 12 high-school religion textbooks from 2017/2018 with versions from 2012-2014, and still found "numerous intolerant and inflammatory passages", including "extolling jihad as fighting against non-Muslims; prescribing execution of apostates and those who mock God or the Prophet [Muhammad]; and demeaning non-Muslims and warning Muslims against associating with them".
USCIRF said it was "disappointed" with the outcome of the study, but said Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's recent initiatives, and his statement that Saudi Arabia is "open to all religions and to the world", "could serve as a strong basis for improving freedom of religion or belief in the Kingdom, including through much-needed textbook reform".
Religious-freedom violations in education 'under-reported'
Bangladesh orders removal of 'jihad' from madrassa textbooks
Saudi Arabia clerics 'guilty of hate speech' against religious minorities
US government warned of persistent 'ideology of hatred' in Saudi textbooks
Just last week the Saudi government announced that it would ban the "extremist ideologies" espoused by the Muslim Brotherhood from school curricula and books, and dismiss staff who support the group's views.
Human Rights Watch reported in September that students in Saudi Arabia's schools were receiving religious education that "contains hateful and incendiary language" towards other Islamic traditions than Sunni Islam, and that it included severe criticism of Jews, Christians and people of other faiths.
Saudi Arabia was designated a Country of Particular Concern – for "systematic, ongoing and egregious" violators of religious freedom – by the US State Department in 2017. The Kingdom is number 12 in the 2018 Open Doors World Watch List of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to live as a Christian.


When we look back, we cannot know ALL that happened. The historical record is rarely, if ever, complete. When we present history, we fill in the gaps, create the voices that spoke, the characters that lived. Are we creating fiction? Have we made history un-true? Or have we created a truth greater than mere fact?

LIMA, Peru, Oct 29 (Reuters) – Peru has admitted it has been reporting its key economic indicator, gross domestic product growth, wrongly for the past 15 years and will publish only partial data from now on until it can correct its sums. Farid Matuk, who took over as head of the government's National Statistics Institute (INEI) in August, told reporters late on Monday it had been a mistake to publish GDP data on a monthly basis since 1987, when every other country in the world except Canada and Finland published quarterly, because monthly figures contained a wide margin of error. Furthermore, he said the way the monthly figures were calculated had also factored in a "false illusion" of the performance of the service sector, meaning that the official data "was not solid" and could not be trusted.
INEI will therefore strip the service and trade segments out of its GDP numbers for the next few months, leaving a snapshot of the performance of only around half of Latin America's No. 7 economy, which is worth around $54 billion on current reckoning and leans heavily on mining and fishing. "I can't produce erroneous information. I'd rather partial data that is clear than full data that is murky," Matuk said. While it rebases its index and sorts out its methodology, INEI will publish only what Matuk called "hard figures" on the detailed monthly output of goods in the primary and secondary sectors — agriculture, fishing, mining, manufacturing, utilities and construction — plus tax data. Data for trade and "other services," which covers mainly transport, financial and public sector services will go.The first set of new-look figures, called "gross value added production," is due out next week, for September. The government of unpopular President Alejandro Toledo says Peru's economic performance is stellar in a crisis-wracked region, and is forecasting growth of at least 3.7 percent this year, compared with 0.2 percent in 2001. According to current calculations, GDP grew 3.8 percent in August and 4.1 percent in the first eight months compared with the same 2001 periods.
Current GDP data uses information provided voluntarily by some 30,000 companies, but Matuk said INEI also had extensive data from household and employment surveys from nearly 40,000 homes nationwide that would help complete the picture. France's national statistics agency is providing the software for the new calculations, and is sending a team of experts to Peru next month to help INEI get to work. Matuk said Peru was also working with other countries on a World Bank project to harmonize calculation of purchasing power parity by 2005 based on a basket of 4,000 universal goods.

What can I do about distracted driving?
On behalf of The Law Offices of Locklin & Coleman, PLLC posted in Car Accidents on Thursday, December 27, 2018.
While multi-tasking is touted as a desirable skill, it can be deadly when behind the wheel. For instance, distracted driving behaviors reduce your ability to operate a vehicle, which can lead to serious accidents and injuries. Geico offers the following tips in this case, which will help you identify bad driving behaviors and correct them.
On behalf of The Law Offices of Locklin & Coleman, PLLC posted in Car Accidents on Wednesday, January 17, 2018.
A car crash does not have to take place at high speeds in order for injuries to occur. While high speed accidents often result in obvious physical damage, low speed accidents often cause soft tissue injuries. In these types of injuries the damage is not immediately apparent and pain may set in days or weeks later.

This is a four layer Sleeping Baby Boy Stork Cake. I used devil's food cake on the bottom and yellow cake on the top. All of the clouds were made out of satin fondant.
I made this cake for a friend of mine who had her baby shower on June 27.
Her theme was: baby feet, storks, "It's a Boy" ribbon & baby clothes. The cake was for 90 people. It was a vanilla flavored sponge rum cake. The cake was made up of three round tiers 3" deep. 12", 10" & 8".
The mixture is all from scratch and its always a hit. People really enjoy the delicious moist cake with the vanilla/rum flavor.
Most of the decorations around the cake were made out of fondant, with the exception of the cake top, the storks on the middle tier and the decorations on the base of the cake that were made out of "cold porcelain".
All 3 tiers were covered in Fondant. The bottom tier was died with the Wilton color "Sky Blue".
The middle tier was the same "Sky Blue" but marbleized.
The top tier was left white.
For the edges of each tier I used white vanilla butter cream frosting (homemade).
When working with Fondant decorations please make sure you make them a few days in advance, and you may want to make a few extras just in case they break.
Although this cake took many hours to make seeing the reaction of the "PARENTS TO BE" was all worth it.
