This paper, comparison of two sample tests, is motivated by the fact that in the test of significant difference between two independent samples, numerous methods can be adopted; each may lead to significant different results; this implies that wrong choice of test statistic could lead to erroneous conclusion. To prevent misleading information, there is a need for proper investigation of some selected methods for test of significant difference between variables/subjects most especially, independent samples. The paper examines the efficiency and sensitivity of four test statistics to ascertain which test performs better. Based on the results, the relative efficiency favours median test as being more efficient than modified median test for both symmetric and asymmetric distributions. In terms of power of test, median test is more sensitive than Modified Median (MMED) test since it has higher power irrespective of the sample sizes for both symmetric and asymmetric distribution. In terms of relative efficiency for asymmetric distribution Modified Mann-Whitney U test is more efficient than Mann-Whitney U test (MMWU), and then for symmetric distribution, Mann-Whitney U test (MMWU) is more efficient than Modified Mann-Whitney in sample size of 5; but for other sample sizes considered Modified Mann-Whitney U test (MMWU) is better than Mann-Whitney. Using power of test for both symmetric and asymmetric distributions, Mann-Whitney is more sensitive than Modified Mann-Whitney U test (MMWU) because it has higher power.
One of the challenges faced by researchers most especially, statisticians, is to take decisions in the presence of uncertainties. Most often, intelligent guess is made and statistical methods are applied to validate or reject any possible assumptions that might have been made to enable the use of such methods. Numerous methods exist for testing statistical hypotheses in various conditions. In some cases, the probability distribution of the population from which samples are drawn is known. For instance, if the population is assumed to be normal; then, the sample size is assumed to be sufficiently large to justify the assumption of normality. In special cases, the sample sizes are very small and the probability distribution of the populations from which samples are drawn is unknown; hence, the sample is said to be distribution free and only non-parametric methods are applied. Thus, in most cases where the assumption of parametric methods is violated or not met, the non-parametric methods are usually preferred. Non-parametric methods that readily suggest themselves include the Median and the Mann- Whitney U test  . These methods require that the populations from which the samples are drawn to be continuous so that the probability of obtaining tied observations is at least theoretically zero  . Statistical tests could be for either paired or unpaired. In a paired test (Matched sample test), the data are collected from subjects measured at two different points wherein each subject has two measurements which are done before and after the treatment. Unpaired test on the other hand is when data are collected from two different and independent subjects. The size of the two samples may be equal or not, depending on the requirement of the test statistic. Techniques or methods for performing two sample tests abound but the question is "which method(s) perform better and under what conditions do they perform better when dealing with independent samples?" To make an articulate attempt to answer these questions, there is a need for proper and adequate comparative study of similar methods that can be used for the purpose of interest. The methods/techniques are: median test, modified median test intrinsically adjusted for ties, Mann-Whitney U test and modified intrinsically ties adjusted Mann-Whitney U test. All the above listed methods are for test of significant difference between variables/subjects when having independent samples. Wide comparison would expose researchers to conditions under which the methods are used to prevent type I or type II errors. In statistical computation, test statistics sometimes are affected by nature of data; that is, the distribution of the data which could be either symmetric or asymmetric in nature. In the determination of more effective statistical method, not just the null hypothesis should be of paramount interest but also the alternative hypothesis which implies that power of test plays an important role in the determination of effectiveness of statistical methods. The maximum value of power of test is 1 and the least is zero which is non- negativity property. The higher the power of test, the better the method and the lower the value, the less effective the method. In this paper, methods of analyzing two independent samples drawn from independent populations would be considered by subjecting some set of data to different conditions, such as sample size, to determine the condition under which they perform optimally in terms of Relative Efficiency (R.E) and power. The power efficiency of median test decreases as the sample sizes increases reaching an eventual asymptotic efficiency of  . The modified median test intrinsically adjusted for ties was compared with the existing technique, ordinary median test; and the conclusion was that the modified median test intrinsically adjusted for ties easily enables the isolation of tied observations and estimation of their probability of occurrence  .

n2 is the total number of the first group/observation.
R1 is the sum of the ranks for the first group/observation.
This Z-score is, as usual, compared at a given level of significance with an appropriate critical value obtained from a normal distribution table for a rejection or acceptance of the null hypothesis.
(4) Modified Intrinsically Ties Adjusted Mann-Whitney U test is used to check whether two samples could have been drawn from the same population/distribution  .
n1 is the sample size of variable .
n2 is the sample size of variable .
R1 and R2 are the respectively sums of the ranks assigned to observations from populations and in the combined ranking of these observations from the two populations.
, are respectively the probabilities that observations or scores by subject from population X1 is on the average greater than or less than observations or scores by subject from population X2.

Between test 1 and test 2, test 2 is relatively more efficient than test 1 if the relative efficiency of the tests, is at least unity; that is if and hence test is said to be more powerful than test .
In this paper, Monte Carlo's Simulation techniques was used in the generation of data of different distributions and varying sample sizes ranging from 5 to 100 which was repeated 30 times for each sample size. In the simulation, sample size of 5, 10, 50 and 100 were considered to cover both small and large sample sizes. Monte Carlo simulation is defined as a method to generate random sample data based on some known distribution for numerical experiments. Monte Carlo simulation is an algorithm used to determine performance of an estimator or test statistic under various scenarios  .
1) Specify the data generation process.
2) Choose a sample size N for the MC simulation.
3) Choose the number of times to repeat the MC Simulation.
4) Generate a randomsample of size N based on the data generation process.
5) Using random sample generated in 4 above, calculate the test statistic(s).
6) Go backto (4) and (5) until desirable replicate is achieved.
7) Examine parameter estimates, test statistics, etc.
In the paper, for data from a known family of distributions, Gamma (4, 0.3) and Beta (2, 2) were used.
From the simulated data using Monte Carlo simulation approach, the following results were obtained: Tables 1-4 are test statistics value of asymmetric distribution for different sample size while Tables 5-8 are test statistics value of symmetric distribution for different sample size. Table 9 is the variance of the test statistic considered. Table 9 is calculated from Tables 1-8.
Variances were computed from Table 1, Table 2, to Table 8.
Table 1. Test statistic value of sample size 5.
Table 2. Test statistic value of sample size 10.
Table 3. Test statistic value of sample size 50.
Table 4. Test statistic value of sample size 100.
Table 5. Test statistic value of sample size 5.
Table 6. Test statistic value of sample size 10.
Table 7. Test statistic value of sample size 50.
Table 8. Test statistic value of sample size 100.
Table 9. Variances of the test statistic considered.
As shown in Table 10, M1 to M4 are the methods considered as M1 is the Median test and M2 is Modified Median test (MMED), M3 is the Mann-Whitney U test and M4 is Modified Mann-Whitney U (MMWU) test statistic.
All the ratios for the first and second rows are less than 1.0 which implies the method used as numerator is better and more reliable than the method used as denominator for all the sample sizes considered, i.e. Median Test is better than Modified Median intrinsically Adjusted for Ties (MMED) using Relative Efficiency (Table 11).
Moreover, considering methods 3 and 4 for asymmetric distribution, M4 (Modified Mann-Whitney U test) is better than M3 (Mann-Whitney U test) since the values of R.E are all greater than 1.0. Considering symmetric distribution, the efficiency of M3 (Mann-Whitney U test) is better/stronger for small sample size (5) and as sample size increases, the strength of M4 (Modified Mann-Whitney U test) increases and outweighs M3 (Mann- Whitney U test); this implies that the method is inconsistent because its efficiency decreases as sample size increases.
As shown in Table 12, Median test has lower error rate which makes it better than MMED. This can be interpreted thus, the usual Median test statistic is a better test statistic when testing relevant hypothesis. Error rate of MMED increases as sample size increases which implies MMED is better used for small sample sizes than the large sample size; but Median test statistic is found to be more adequate for both small and large sample sizes and hence should be preferable.
As shown in Table 13, Mann-Whitney U test statistic is more suitable irrespective of the nature of distribution of set of available data as the error rates of MMWU are significantly high. See Table 13. It can be deduced that the sensitivity of the test statistics is independent of sample size of the data but the distribution; either symmetric or asymmetric distribution.
Power of test were computed from Table 12 and Table 13.
Power of test is the sensitivity of a test statistic and the greater the value, the more sensitive the test statistic for both symmetric and asymmetric distributions. Median test is more sensitive than MMED because median has higher power than MMED irrespective of the sample sizes.
Considering both Mann-Whitney and MMWU, Mann-Whitney U test is more sensitivity than MMWU for both symmetric and asymmetric distribution. For better understanding of sensitivity of the four test statistics, line chart of power of test is constructed as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2; Line chart can be used to show position of the strength or power of a test statistic especially in statistical inference. This shows test statistic with higher power with the maximum power of 1.0. See Figure 1 and Figure 2.
As shown in Figure 1, irrespective of sample size; either large or small, the median test statistic has higher power than the modified median test which makes it more appropriate. The modified median test is sensitive to sample size as its power decreases as sample size increases.
As shown in Figure 2, irrespective of sample size; either large or small, the Mann-Whitney U test statistic has higher power than the modified Mann-Whitney U test which makes it more appropriate. The modified method has considerably low power as sample size varies/increases.

We have in this paper presented a nonparametric statistical method for the analysis of two sample tests. Based on the result of the analysis used, it is observed that for both symmetric and asymmetric distributions, median test is more efficient than Modified Median (MMED) test using relative efficiency as a measure of the efficiency of test statistic since the relative efficiency values are less than 1.0 while in terms of power of test for both symmetric and asymmetric distributions, median test is more sensitive than Modified Median (MMED) test since it has higher power. For Mann-Whitney U test and Modified Mann-Whitney U test (MMWU) using both relative efficiency and power of test, Mann-Whitney U test is more efficient and more sensitive than Modified Mann-Whitney U test (MMWU) since the relative efficiency values are greater than 1 and also it has higher power. In terms of sample size, efficiency of the method is independent of sample sizes except Modified Median Test which has higher power for small sample sizes.

Q: Is there an Android native library for XMPP client? I am working on XMPP client for Android, we have establish our Ejabberd server(2.1.11) on ubuntu 14.04.
For implementing XMPP android client i have used patched version of java smack called aSmack and it is great as you have to include asmack.XXX.jar in your android project lib folder and write some code which is easy available on INTERNET,i want to thank all developer for their awesome work.
Here

I am curious what kind of mechanism aSmack using to communicate with
  XMPP server

But as per our client requirement i cant use any 3'rd party library for implementing Xmpp client in android[means i cant use aSmack :-( ]

1>>. Is there any Android native library available for implementing xmpp client?

Thanks in advance!!!!!!

A: If with 'Android native library' you mean 'an API from the standard Android SDK' then no, there is not such native library. To reach that requirement you'll have to write your own XMPP API.
I advice you to explain your contractor about free software licenses and ask him to change that requirement.

I don't understand why the night before a FA Cup game some git things its perfectly alright to arrange a rugby game on the same pitch. What chance does the pitch have time to recover and I wonder if the rugby match hadn't been arranged whether the ground staff would have managed to get the match on.

Lady forks are no good for draining excess water you need one with long prongs!
Only real problem with that is that The Sharks own the ground an allow Stockport to share it, must agree that it is a stupid idea to allocate such a fixture the night before the worlds most watched cup but what would a rugby club know or even care about the most famous cup in football league history?

It was 12.15 before news of the postponment came through to us, and we were only 30 miles from Stockport. Pretty disgusted that it was announced so late (11.00am I believe), although phone messages didn't get to us 'til later. However being resilient Devonians we decided to make a day of it & got out the fixture list. Thought about Macc v. Grimsby, decided we didn't want to be the only 5 Grimsby supporters there, so went for Port Vale v. Huddersfield. Chose to be Hudd. supporters seeing we drew there on Tues. Joined up with them in a pub and after a few quizical looks at our Torquay shirts etc, were warmly accepted. When we got to the ground had a few jokes about being locked in since Tues! Don't see how Hudd are so high up the table as was a pretty inept performance from both teams. Don't think I'll bother to go to Stockport on 8th. Hudd fans said Stockport pitch was a total disgrace and wasn't fit for the league as basically turf on top of sand. Surely more account should be made of travelling fans and in view of the situation the evening before with the rugby, our game should have been called off much earlier. But there, fans always seem to come last.
Post by Dave on Nov 29, 2009 19:04:57 GMT
I think was is so great is the fact that while our fans were bitterly disappointed the game was called off, even more so when you consider the time spent travelling and the expense involved, most went and found a game to watch and on the whole had an enjoyable day.
That a great credit to the sort of people who support Torquay United and while a few moans are perfectly understandable and a few questions being asked if the game should have been called off much earlier, they all took it on the chin and survived still as fans to get ready to do it all again.

I see that the tie has been (not unexpectantly) rescheduled for 8th December 2009. Hopefully, the weather will allow it to proceed this time, particularly as in the event of a replay, there are only two mid week slots before Christmas and the 22nd would not be ideal with a small squad and the traditional busy festive programme.

Group 4 – 'Boxed In,' roommates who share more than just a space
Group 1 – 'Langford Manor,' or a place in the woods for solving an age-old murder mystery
Group 3 – 'Florida Couple,' or fowl play with Ray and Jolene
Darlyne Franklin was one of four writers who participated in Lab Theater's 24-Hour Screenwriting Challenge. You mean playwriting, right? No, for safety reasons, the 24-Hour Playwriting Project was modified this year to the 24-Hour Screenwriting Project. It has also been converted into a virtual fundraiser for the theater, inviting patrons to "vote" for their favorite short film, cast or writer via the ticketing portal with a donation of any amount.
Franklin is an actor, playwright and producer. Her writing and production credits include Joey & Maria's Comedy Italian Wedding (1992), The Wake of Matty O'Malley, Wicked Real Housewives of the Mob and The Soprano's Last Supper. Darlyne's recent work includes The Biscotti Sisters (a campy, corny show in which two Italian sisters battle it out in a cookie bake-off) and Wicked Real Housewives of Boston, which opened in the Boston area in 2010.
Darlyne participated in Laboratory Theater 24-Hour Playwriting Project in 2018 and 2019, and decided to make the leap to screenwriting for this year's challenge. She titled this year's script Florida Couple, and it drops us unceremoniously smack dab into an argument between Ray and Jolene over the death of Pete the Parrot, a drunken bird who took a spill down a flight of steps and broke his beak in five places. Ray is disconsolate and suspects fowl play, but Jolene is delighted by the bird's demise. "He talked too much; he said dumb stuff," Jolene proclaims. Worst of all, Pete swilled whiskey from her glass. "A grown man crying over a dead parrot," Jolene mocks Ray the way Pete the Parrot mocked her.
Chock full of witty repartee with a down home, southern spin, Florida Couple is a tour de force. But remarkable writing and drolly comedic lines demand split second timing and impeccable delivery. Steven Coe and Madelaine Wright provide both as few other actors can.
Southwest Florida theater-goers have enjoyed the rare opportunity to see theatrical power couples perform together on several occasions. There's Burttram and Powers in productions like Outside Mullingar (Florida Repertory Theatre) and Repossessed (Theatre Conspiracy at the Alliance for the Arts). Aricka Shuck and Dave Rode did in Same Time Next Year (Cultural Park Theater) just before they wed. But whether it's comedy (Hand to God, I'm Sorry I Put You in a Play, Lab Theater) or erotic psychodrama (Venus in Fur, The Studio Players), Coe and Weymouth have a special somethin' something that's on full display in Florida Couple.
Chemistry aside, what's truly incredible about Coe and Weymouth's performances in Florida Couple is their affinity for the material and ability to master a script rife with snarky one-liners, snappy comebacks and wry socio-political humor in a little more than an hour – all while tossing their insults and accusations back and forth at each other in an Appalachian mountain drawl that underscores that you'd be more likely to come across Ray and Jolene on an episode of Jerry Springer or being interviewed by Lisa McCune or Chris Hansen than at Lincoln Center or Shakespeare in the Park. Equally amazing, Coe and Weymouth switch to New England and RP (Queen's English) accents respectively for a commercial that comes just before the film's ending, and transition back into the mountain folk drawl without skipping a beat down.
There are a number of subplots in the film (an especially hilarious one that has to do with corn cobs) and Franklin solves not one, but three crimes (excluding Ray and Jolene's murder of the English language). But more cannot be said of either the writing or the acting without giving too much away. Still, it bears mentioning that Kris Glover's decision to shoot the film documentary style complimented both the screenplay and the performances, giving the latter a feeling of immediacy and authenticity in a story that, alas, rings all too true.
Florida Couple was made possible in part by the sponsorship of Gallant Lawn Care in Cape Coral. Founded in 1989, Gallant provides landscaping services utilizing environmentally-responsible products to a diverse range of customers throughout the region whose grass really is "greener on the other side."
Kudos also go out to 24-Hour Screenwriting Coordinator Char Loomis, Jonathan Johnson for lighting and sound and to Paula Sisk for video and IT support.

Cold & Flu Season 2022-2023
Where to Get the Flu Shot This Year
Where to Get the Flu Shot for the 2021-2022 Season, According to Doctors
Your doctor's office, local pharmacy, or urgent care center has you covered for vaccinations.
By Korin Miller Updated: Aug 19, 2021
This article was medically reviewed by Raj Dasgupta, M.D., an assistant professor of clinical medicine and a member of the Prevention Medical Review Board.
While temperatures are still in the 90s in many parts of the country, flu season isn't all that far away. That's why now is the time to at least start thinking about when (and where) you're going to get your flu shot.
That's especially true this year, when we're still deep in the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though we experienced a mild flu season last year—thanks to all of the diligent hand washing and mask wearing people did—the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that getting a flu vaccine is more important than ever to help reduce the strain on healthcare systems that are responding to COVID-19 surges. Plus, it's possible to get both the flu and COVID-19 at the same time, the agency says, which is a situation you definitely won't want to find yourself in.
You can technically get the flu any time of year, but flu season really starts to ramp up in October and peaks between December and February, according to the CDC. The vaccine takes a few weeks to give you protection, which is why you start hearing reminders to get your flu shot in early fall—and it's really important that you do so.
Flu Shot Side Effects You Should Know
"The flu vaccine is the only means we have of protecting ourselves against influenza," says infectious disease expert Amesh A. Adalja, M.D., senior scholar at the John's Hopkins Center for Health Security. "The flu vaccine is only moderately protective against getting the flu, but it is protective against having flu complications and being hospitalized. It really can decrease the impact of flu season if we have as high a proportion of the population vaccinated as possible."
The flu shot won't protect you from getting COVID-19, says Richard Watkins, M.D., an infectious disease and professor of internal medicine at Northeast Ohio Medical University. However, getting your COVID-19 vaccine will—which is why it's crucial to receive both immunizations before cold weather arrives.
What's new with the flu vaccine this year?
The flu vaccine changes every year to try to protect against the strains researchers think will dominate this season (which is why you have to get a new shot every year). This year's vaccine will target the following strains:
A/Victoria/2570/2019 (H1N1) pdm09-like virus;
A/Cambodia/e0826360/2020 (H3N2)-like virus;
B/Washington/02/2019- like virus (B/Victoria lineage);
B/Phuket/3073/2013-like virus (B/Yamagata lineage)
When should I get a flu shot?
The CDC generally recommends that people get vaccinated by the end of October, and definitely before the flu starts spreading in your area. But, if you can only get your flu vaccine earlier or later than that, you should do it. "We want people to get the flu vaccine no matter what during the flu season," Dr. Adalja says. "It's important to get it when you can get it."
Where to get a flu shot for the 2020-2021 season
You actually have a lot of options, and some of them are free as long as you have health insurance. Here are some places to consider:
At your doctor's office
If you have health insurance, most doctors will cover the total cost of getting the flu shot. That means you won't have to shell out for a copay either. (Just call ahead to make sure your primary care physician has the flu vaccine in stock before you go.)
At an urgent care center
Many urgent care offices will offer up flu vaccines and will even provide them for free if you can't make it to your primary care physician to get your shot.
At your office
Some jobs actually offer this on-site, while others may hand out vouchers that you can take to a local pharmacy. Ask your boss or HR rep about it if you're not sure. Ditto if you're working remotely—some offices are offering vaccinations outdoors to help minimize the spread of COVID-19.
In college? Many schools will give out free flu vaccinations to students at the campus health center.
At your local hospital
Many hospitals will offer up select days when they give free flu shots to the public. You can either check out the website of your nearest hospital or call to find out more.
At your local pharmacy chain
Walgreens, CVS Pharmacy, and Rite Aid offer up flu shots to the public, and it's usually at no cost to you with health insurance. Some prefer that you schedule an appointment in advance, so call the store you're interested in visiting in advance to find out.
At Target, Walmart, and Kmart
These chain stores offer up a free flu shot with most health insurance plans.
At your local grocery store
Some larger chain grocery stores, like Giant, have pharmacies on the premises that give free vaccines with health insurance. Contact your local store to find out more.
If you're unsure of where to get vaccinated near you, the CDC recommends using VaccineFinder.org to find a location in your area. For those without insurance, prices may fluctuate between $20 and $40, depending on the location.

Why can't beer and pong be banned from bars in California?
August 9, 2021 by admin Introduction
Why can't beer and pong be banned from bars in California? August 9, 2021 August 9, 2021 admin
In California, bar owners and bartenders have the ability to restrict beer and liquor sales to designated areas such as restrooms and lockers.
Beer and pokie games have long been legal in other states, including New York and Minnesota.
However, in California, a law passed last year allows bar owners to ban them.
The law was written to stop a growing tide of pokies and other gambling in bars.
"If a bar owner wants to ban beer and beer pong, that is their prerogative," said Mike Dolan, a former senior attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of California.
"But when it comes to a gambling establishment that is already on the road to becoming a gambling destination, we are very disappointed in the law."
Beer pong and beer delivery The California law was passed in the spring of 2017 to combat a spike in pokestops and other gaming establishments.
According to the state, more than 2,200 gambling establishments were operating across the state by the end of March, and the number was expected to reach 10,000 by May.
Dolan says that the increase was caused in part by an uptick in the number of bars and casinos opening.
"A lot of bars are now opening and serving food and drinks," he said.
"That has created a very significant amount of gambling revenue."
Bar owners in California have been able to restrict the number and types of games they are allowed to host, but there are still many unanswered questions about how these establishments are operating.
Dola said that in many cases, the answer is unclear.
"You can't know for sure until you actually go to a establishment and see the license," he told Ars.
"What you have to figure out is where the gambling money is going.
Is it going into the establishment itself?
Is it coming from an outside source?
Or is it going through a bar, a liquor store, a restaurant?
You have to go to the place to find out."
Dolan said that the state was not able to determine the total number of establishments in the state that had already been affected by the new law.
"This is an important step in helping to ensure that our gaming industry remains safe and secure," the governor's executive order said.
It also called for a review of all existing gaming regulations and the expansion of the state's existing gaming license, which would allow for a "proper licensing and regulation system."
Dola says that he believes that the new laws are an important first step in protecting the industry, but that more action is needed.
"I do think the state has a responsibility to work closely with the state of California to ensure this is a robust system that can be successfully regulated and policed," he explained.
"We are seeing this kind of surge in gambling in California."

Introducing.... 'Insomniac Bears' with single 'Scenic Drives'
We haven't introduced a brand new Indie Rock / Indie Pop band for week or so, but we're really excited about 'Insomniac Bears', partly because their band members have such great pedigree in other Norwegian projects, and also because their new single 'Scenic Drives' is just such a good debut.
So 'Insomniac Bears' consist of the infamous Magnus Moriarty, Thomas Bratlie Haugland (Rumble in Rhodes), multi-instrumentalist Marius Ergo (Lukestar + some interesting solo stuff) & Marius Drogsås Hagen (Team Me), and they've combined to write indie pop with a such sense of freedom, that it's not really indie pop at all.
'Scenic Drives' is great fun. I was listening to a feature on the radio the other day about how 'intros' in songs are dead and buried because no-one has the patience to listen more than 5-10 seconds. Thankfully 'Insomniac Bears' never got the memo, with a long rolling introduction with melancholy progressive rock style chords that I immediately like, and the vocals add an extra layer of melody, and with a number of musical themes introduced,Insomniac Bears are clearly not short of ideas. I like the string arranged middle section, and we even get a 'fade out', demonstrating that this is a band who clearly intend to do whatever they want.
I really hope that 'Insomniac Bears' get some momentum behind them, because this is a band who I think will give us huge entertainment over the next 12 months and more.

My name is Jeff Caldara. I have been teaching at Ardsley Middle School since 1997. I also am an Ardsley graduate. In addition to being a phys ed teacher at AMS I have been the head Ardsley Varsity Baseball coach for 20 years. I have previously coached varsity football and modified basketball.
I currently live in Scarsdale with my wife Pamela Caldara who is a special education teacher at AMS and my two daughters Parker and Nealie. I have two yellow labs Rosie and Maggie. I enjoy playing golf, going to the beach with my family, and watching all sports. I also coach my daughter in travel ice hockey for Scarsdale.


Every campground has a sweet spot.
Beaming with a morning smile.
People ask how I'm doing.
It's hard to stand up sometimes.
And I'm finding a few more wrinkles.
But, doin' OK. I'm good.
The American Beech (fagus grandifolia) were really showing off this morning in the early fog. The trails to reach them were no second fiddle either.
The next time you savor the delights of pecan pie or butter pecan ice cream consider this tale that might, instead of smiles, give you the shakes.
Mature pecan trees are strong gangly creatures. Their elusive fruit hang high making successful harvest tricky and difficult without unacceptable collateral damage to leaf and limb.
As expected, modern mechanical wizardry and ingenuity to the rescue. The preferred harvester is conspired as a low-slung turtle-like machine reminiscent of the bottom half of a Sherman tank, often carried on three small wheels, occasionally on crawler tracks. A long arm extends from the front at the end of which is attached a huge menacing hinged claw wide enough to firmly clamp both sides of any trunk or low slung limb.
It goes like this. The contraption eases up to the target, protruding arm extended. The claw grips firmly. Then, the harvester issues a burst of powerful high frequency vibrations that, for 10-15 seconds, shake the bejesus out of the entire tree creating a noisily intense crackling hail of pecan nuts, a dense shower, followed by an eerie silence that will leave any observer stunned and slack-jawed.
Everything looks better to the camera after a healing rain. To the camera operator too. Soaked in the pleasures of a gorgeous October morn.

CFL Betting News, Match-Ups and Trends For Thursday 6/13/19 1 month 3 days ago #507428
Football 'north of the border' returns to action with Week 1 of the 2019 CFL regular season. The Calgary Stampeders finally broke through with a victory over the Ottawa RedBlacks in last season's CFL title game in their third-straight trip to the Grey Cup Championship.
Turning to the CFL futures odds at Sportsbook.ag to win this year's CFL title, Calgary has been opened as a 13/5 favorite. Second on the list is the British Columbia Lions at 9/2 followed by Ottawa and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at 11/2 betting odds.
Further down the list at 7/1 is the Hamilton Tiger-Cats with the Saskatchewan Roughriders at 15/2. Rounding out the nine CFL teams are the Edmonton Eskimos (10/1), Toronto Argonauts (15/1) and Montreal Alouettes (18/1).
Saskatchewan Roughriders (12-7 SU, 10-9 ATS) at Hamilton Tiger-Cats (9-11 SU, 8-11-1 ATS)
Point-spread: OFF
Total: OFF
The Roughriders were one game off the pace to win the West Division last season ahead of a 23-18 loss to Winnipeg in the playoffs as two-point home underdogs. Craig Dickenson takes over the reins as head coach for the departed Chris Jones. He is likely to turn to Zach Collaros as his starting quarterback for Week 1 with the long-term hopes that he can stay healthy and return to form as a solid passer in the CFL. Saskatchewan was 6-3 straight-up on the road last year.
Expectations have been raised for Hamilton this season in light of Jeremiah Masoli's play at quarterback in 2018. He was second in the CFL with 5,209 total passing yards while tossing 28 touchdowns against 18 interceptions. The Tiger-Cats also have a new head coach at the helm with Orlondo Steinauer taking over for the departed June Jones. Hamilton bowed out of the playoffs last season with a 46-27 loss to Ottawa as a 3 ½-point road underdog in the East Division Finals.
-- Saskatchewan has won the last five meetings SU and the total has stayed UNDER in seven of the last 10 games in this inter-division matchup.
Montreal Alouettes (5-13 SU, 11-7 ATS) at Edmonton Eskimos (9-9 SU, 8-10 ATS)
A front office shake-up over the weekend sent Mike Sherman packing after just one season as Montreal's head coach. This unexpected departure less than a week before the season opener elevated offensive coordinator Khari Jones to the top spot. It was believed that Vernon Adams, Jr. would be the team's starter at quarterback, but Antonio Pipkin was also in the mix during the preseason. Other off-field issues have the Alouettes under league ownership while the search for a buyer continues.
The Eskimos missed the playoffs last season after falling to last place in the West. Following the loss of Mike Reilly at quarterback, Edmonton will turn to Trevor Harris after playing last season in Ottawa. Harris threw for 5,116 passing yards while helping the RedBlacks get back to the CFL title game. He tossed 22 touchdowns against 11 interceptions in 2018. The Eskimos did win two of three both SU and against the spread to close out 2018 on a positive note.
-- Montreal has a 6-3 edge ATS in the last nine meetings, but Edmonton has won its last five home games against the Alouettes SU. The total has gone OVER in four of the last five meetings.
Ottawa RedBlacks (12-8 SU, 10-10 ATS) at Calgary Stampeders (15-5 SU, 11-9 ATS)
The quest to win another East Division title begins with Dominique Davis as the likely starter at quarterback for this rematch of last year's Grey Cup. Ottawa also has Jonathan Jennings on the roster as another possible option under center. The RedBlacks will also have some new faces running the ball with the departure of William Powell, who led the CFL in rushing attempts last year. Heading on the road for the season opener, Ottawa was 6-5 ATS last season in 11 games closing as an underdog.
It has been a given that Calgary would post the best SU record in the CFL after doing so the previous three seasons. However, the Stampeders lost 11 starters from last year's championship roster. Bo Levi Mitchell was resigned at quarterback after being named the league's Most Outstanding Player. He was third in total passing yards (5,124) while leading the way with 35 touchdown throws. Until some other team steps up its game, Calgary remains the team to beat in the CFL.
-- Calgary has won its last five home games against Ottawa SU and it has a 6-1 edge ATS in the last seven meetings at McMahon Stadium. The total has gone OVER in seven of the last 10 games between the two inter-division rivals.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers (11-9 SU, 11-8-1 ATS) at B.C. Lions (9-10 SU, 10-9 ATS)
The Blue Bombers are another solid team stuck in the logjam that is the West Division. They made it all the way to the division finals last season before losing to Calgary 22-14 as 4 ½-point road underdogs. The total stayed UNDER in six of their final eight games after leading the CFL in scoring last season with an average of 30.6 points per game. Matt Nichols started 14 games and threw for 3,146 yards and 18 touchdowns, but he was also picked off 13 times. Winnipeg also has Chris Streveler waiting in the wings.
The Lions are among the ranks of the five teams that will start the 2019 regular season with a new head coach. With Wally Bruno calling it a career, the torch has been passed to DeVone Claybrooks. He is already facing some high expectations with Reilly returning to BC as the new starting quarterback after he began his CFL career with the Lions. In his final season in Edmonton, Reilly once again led the league in total passing yards (5,562) with 30 passing touchdowns and 18 interceptions.
-- BC has won seven of its last 10 home games against Winnipeg SU in this West Division tilt, but Winnipeg has an overall 8-2 edge ATS in the last 10 meetings. The total has gone OVER in seven of the last nine matchups.
2019 CFL Futures Preview
Since the first year of Alliance Football ended in disaster, and the XFL 2.0 is still another year away, football fans already pining for the college and NFL seasons to start can get an early fix in with the 'ol' reliable' CFL north of the border. The 2019 CFL season starts on Thursday night and with tv contracts continuing to see the sport broadcast in the US, football fans and bettors who love the game regardless of the various differences in the rules should be excited for another CFL campaign. After all, CFL coaches have had the ability to challenge pass interference for years now, and don't you think Sean Payton down in New Orleans would have liked to have that at his disposal last January?
A nine-team league does come with it's knocks as 66% of the league does find their way into the playoffs, and the overall talent level may not be NFL caliber. But followers of the college football game will recognize plenty of names across all nine teams up north, and we do have one team – the Calgary Stampeders – looking to make their fourth straight Grey Cup appearance in 2019.
The Stamps finally got over the hump last year in beating Ottawa to win the prestigious title after blowing late leads in each of the prior two Grey Cups, and with no crazy changes on their roster – other then losing their DC to a head coaching gig in BC – the Stampeders deserve to enter 2019 as the favorites once again. QB Bo Levi Mitchell has clearly defined himself as one of the best ever to man the controls for a CFL team – he is 69-15-2 SU in his career – and Calgary fans will be looking to him to take them to the promised land once again.
But the great thing about the CFL is that every year is a fresh beginning, and even though Calgary has dominated things recently, generally speaking the lead is very wide open. From the heavy focus on the aerial game, no lead in the 4th quarter ever being safe, and just the overall balance of the league being wide open enough that anyone could get hot and make a run.
With every game in the season getting a stand alone time slot in terms of viewing ability, it's a great league to be betting as you are able to never miss a down. And while futures odds don't have the variety of offerings that the NFL or even NCAAF bring, it never hurts to put down a future wager on a team or two in the CFL as like I said, there is a 66% chance that team makes the playoffs regardless, and from there who knows what happens as hedging opportunities present themselves.
And while I'll get to the future 2019 Grey Cup winner in a minute, future odds are offered inbetween each week so it's not like you have to go out and rush now to get the best price. After all, something to keep an eye on in Week 1 this weekend (and Week 2 next week for the Toronto Argonauts who begin the year on a bye) is that five of the last six Grey Cup winners have started the year with a victory. Only the Edmonton Eskimos of 2015 opened up the campaign 0-1 SU before being top dog at the end of the year.
Furthermore, only five of the last 16 teams to make a Grey Cup – going back to the 2011 game – have started the year with a loss in their season opener. Obviously a Week 1 loss is not the end of the world by any means, especially when of those five teams to lose their opener and make the big game, their record is 3-2 SU in lifting the Grey Cup, but it is something to keep in the back of your mind as football consumption begins in earnest these next few days.
So let's get right to the lone future selection for this season at this stage, and hope for the sake of those trends, that this team starts out the 2019 season 1-0 SU.
2019 Grey Cup Future Best Bet
Saskatchewan Roughriders +750
Saskatchewan is ranked 4th of the five teams in the Western Division in futures odds, with Calgary (+275) BC (+300) and Winnipeg (+500) all ahead of them. Given the resumes those respective QB's have in this league (Bo Levi Mitchell, Mike Reilly, and Matt Nichols) and that the CFL is a QB driven league, maybe even more so then the NFL, there is definitely plenty to like about all three of those franchises coming into 2019. But none of them will have the defense that the Riders bring to the table each week, as that's a very deep and talented unit from front to back that could finish 2019 as the league's best defense.
That means that the oft-injured QB Zach Collaros has to make sure that he continually stays on the field this year, as he's got plenty of talented weapons around him – Shaq Evans, KD Cannon, Naaman Roosevelt etc – to match those other QB driven teams out west score for score and let his defense shut the door late in games. Doing that will have Saskatchewan right in the thick of things from the start this year, and remember this was a team that suffered a tight home playoff loss in the Western Semis last year to Winnipeg. Going through that experience was a great learning lesson for this team, and had it been them to move on to Calgary to face the Stamps in the West Final, we may not be sitting here talking about Calgary as the defending champs.
With the Eastern Division by and large being the much weaker side once again in the CFL this year, a cross-over playoff spot is always a feasible option for this Riders team should they stumble a few times too many against Western rivals during the year, and with the defense they've got, if it stays healthy, running through the Eastern half of the bracket in the playoffs shouldn't be that hard to do.
Saskatchewan brought in new HC Craig Dickenson – older brother of Calgary HC Dave Dickenson – to take this Riders team to the next level in 2019, and his experience on the staffs of two Grey Cup winners (Calgary in 2008 and Edmonton in 2015) is something that gets lost in all the concerns of him not having previous head coaching experience. He inherits a phenomenal defense – especially up front – and how can you not figure that he's not learned a thing or two about offensive football from his younger brother (as a coach and a prominent QB in the CFL) to help Collaros and company take that next step.
The value is definitely there with this Riders team at the +750 price, and if the old adage of "defense wins championships" holds true in 2019, it's hard not to envision this Saskatchewan team being involved in the title conversation once November hits.
So get those watermelon hats carved out early and fill them with a some warm insulation, because a Grey Cup appearance in Calgary in late November is definitely a realistic expectation for your squad this year.

Graceful Explosion Machine Launches on PlayStation 4 and PC
Posted by Natalie Jaech | August 08, 2017	| News | No Comments
Graceful Explosion Machine, an arcade shooter set in a colorful version of space, has just been released for both PC and PS4. The game comes from Vertex Pop, an indie developer based out of Toronto. Graceful Explosion Machine is the company's third title to date, and it features the studio's signature style of vibrant, geometric graphics and simple gameplay mechanics.
In Graceful Explosion Machine, players control a fighter ship that is lost in deep space. Aliens have wiped out the rest of the fleet, and only the titular Graceful Explosion Machine (or GEM) remains to deal with this new threat. Players will fend off waves of alien attacks as the lone pilot who is just looking for home.
What the game lacks in story it makes up for in engaging, action-based gameplay. GEM travels across four different planets while battling over thirty levels' worth of enemy forces. As the pilot of the ship, players can switch between their arsenal of built-in weapons which includes a blaster and an energy sword. Though the game is exclusively a single-player experience, the scoring system allows individuals to compete against one another for high leaderboard rankings. Those interested in rising to the top will want to check out Score Attack mode for the opportunity to do so.
Graceful Explosion Machine is available now for PC and PlayStation 4 at $12.99. A version of the game for Nintendo Switch is upcoming and will be on sale for 30% off through August 15th.

Q: Datatables date range filter not working properly I'm trying to add a date range filter on a Datatable but im not able to get it working properly. The date comes out of a Mysql Database and get selected as:
DATE_FORMAT(or_plan_date,'%d-%m-%Y') or_plan_date1

The date format is there to convert it from yyyy-mm-dd to dd-mm-yyyy. This select returns the value like "01-08-2020"
The date is presented in column 1 like:
            echo "
";
                echo "{$or_number}	";
                echo "{$or_plan_date1}	";
                echo "{$order_week1}	";
                echo "{$pm_code}	";
                echo "{$or_amount}	";
                echo "{$de_name}	";
                echo "{$cs_name}	";
                echo "{$or_order_status}	";
            echo "
";

The javascript for the datatable looks as follow:
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#orders').DataTable( {
        stateSave: true,
        stateDuration: 120,
        dom:    "<'row'<'col-sm-2'l><'col-sm-3'B><'col-sm-4'<'toolbar'>><'col-sm-3'f>>" +

                var column = this;
                var select = $('<select><option value=""></option></select>')
                .appendTo( $(column.header()) )

                    .on( 'change', function () {
                        var val = $.fn.dataTable.util.escapeRegex(
                            $(this).val()
                        );

                        column
                            .search( val ? '^'+val+'$' : '', true, false )
                            .draw();
                    } );

                column.data().unique().sort().each( function ( d, j ) {
                    select.append( '<option value="'+d+'">'+d+'</option>' )
                } );
                $( select ).click( function(e) {
                 e.stopPropagation();
           });
            } );
        }

    } );
    $("div.toolbar").html('From <input name="min" id="min" type="date"> / <input name="max" id="max" type="date">');

    $.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push(
        function (settings, data, dataIndex) {
            var min = new Date($('#min'));
            var max = new Date($('#max'));
            var startDate = new Date(data[1]);
            if (min == null && max == null) { return true; }
            if (min == null && startDate <= max) { return true;}
            if(max == null && startDate >= min) {return true;}
            if (startDate <= max && startDate >= min) { return true; }
            return false;
        }
        );

            var table = $('#orders').DataTable();

            // Event listener to the two range filtering inputs to redraw on input
            $('#min, #max').change(function () {
                table.draw();
            });

} );

https://jsfiddle.net/onyfw69v/
The current situation is:
when I select a date the table refreshes but doesn't show any value. The same is when i try to use the sorting in the header. When i try to sort any column all entries disappear.
The expected result:
When "min" is filled it should filter the date and show all the date's > min. The same is with the max but then <max.
Can anyone tell me what im doing wrong and how it should be?

A: My best guess is that it is the date format you use in new Date(). It must be a string representing a simplification of the ISO 8601 calendar date extended format. In your code this format is reversed.
See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/parse#Date_Time_String_Format
Best to not convert the date in your SQL to the output format, but to do that when you actually generate the output.
I tested this with the following code:
let date = new Date('2010-11-12');
alert(date.toLocaleDateString());

This resulted in:

11/12/2010

let date = new Date('12-11-2010');
alert(date.toLocaleDateString());

and this resulted in:

Invalid Date

This might be browser dependent, but clearly it won't work with the dd-mm-yyyy format.

A: I got it working with the following code and removed the sql DATE_FORMAT:
  $("div.toolbar").html('From <input name="min" id="min" type="date" value="0"> / <input name="max" id="max" type="date" value="0">');

  $.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push(
    function(settings, data, dataIndex) {
      var min_date = document.getElementById("min").value;
      var min = new Date(min_date);
      var max_date = document.getElementById("max").value;
      var max = new Date(max_date);

      var startDate = new Date(data[1]);
      //window.confirm(startDate);
      if (!min_date && !max_date) {
        return true;
      }
      if (!min_date && startDate <= max) {
        return true;
      }
      if (!max_date && startDate >= min) {
        return true;
      }
      if (startDate <= max && startDate >= min) {
        return true;
      }
      return false;
    }
  );

  var table = $('#orders').DataTable();

  // Event listener to the two range filtering inputs to redraw on input
  $('#min, #max').change(function() {
    table.draw();
  });

City cancels mayoral election, sets criteria for ward redistricting process
By George Slaughter, News Editor
The Katy City Council Monday canceled the May mayoral election because it was uncontested. It also began the process by which the city's two wards will be reconfigured to meet federal voting rights laws.
Dusty Thiele
Gunnar Seaquist address the Katy City Council at its Feb. 28 meeting
City of Katy
Posted Thursday, March 3, 2022 12:00 am
William "Dusty" Thiele, an insurance executive, is the only candidate to file for the mayoralty. In May, he will take the oath of office and succeed retiring incumbent Mayor Bill Hastings. Thiele has served on two different occasions on the city council. He has served on several city boards and commissions. Term of office is three years.
The council is comprised of one at-large member, two members from Ward A, and two members from Ward B.
Attorney Gunnar Seaquist, of the Bickerstaff Heath Delgado law firm, is helping the city with the redistricting process. He said the council was being asked to approve criteria to proceed with the districting, and guidelines for public participation.
"We will prepare a draft plan to start with," Seaquist said. "We will bring that before you at our next meeting. Our draft plan is just a staring off point."
He said the maps will come from council members based on what they know is best for their districts.
Among the criteria the city will follow during the redistricting process are:
Easily identifiable geographic boundaries.
Communities of interest should be maintained in a single district, and attempts should be made to avoid splitting neighborhoods.
Council wards should be composed of whole voting precincts. Where this is not possible or practicable, district should be drawn considering county election precincts.
The districting plan should be based on existing districts.
Districts must be configured so that they are relatively equal in total population according to the 2020 Census. Seaquist said the discrepancy should be no more than a 10% difference in population between the two wards. Presently, there is a larger discrepancy and redistricting becomes necessary.
Guidelines for public participation, as adopted by the council, include:
Plans must be submitted in writing and legible.
Plans must show the total population and voting age populations for African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and Anglo/other for each proposed single-member city council district based on the 2020 Census data.
Plans should redistrict the entire city.
Plans should confirm to redistricting criteria the council will use in drawing the wards.
Comments must be submitted in writing and legible, even if the induvial presents his or her views orally at a public hearing.
People providing comments and plans must identify themselves, with name, address, telephone number, and if available an email address.
All comments and proposed plans must be submitted at the close of the public hearing.
The city expects to hold hearings and the council must approve a final redistricting plan.

Movie Review: 'Mahabharat 3D'
Updated: Jan 03, 2014, 00:00 IST | Shubha Shetty-Saha
Looks like our costliest ('Mahabharat 3D') is still not good enough -- considering that we have a long way to go before even reach the standards of the animations that come out from the West
Mahabharat 3D
U; Animation
Director: Amaan Khan
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit, Ajay Devgn, Vidya Balan, Sunny Deol, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Manoj Bajpai, Deepti Naval
Mahabharata is touted as the costliest animation film to come out from India. But looks like our costliest is still not good enough -- considering that we have a long way to go before even reach the standards of the animations that come out from the West.
Mahabharata is yet again a disappointment in the series of animation films that have been produced in India. We still seem to be struggling to get that right and Mahabharata just reiterates the same. Most characters of this immensely interesting epic tale end up looking drab and dull, thanks to the expressionless dummy like animated characters.
The director should be lauded for trying to make an attempt at making the characters look like the stars whose voices are behind them. But any great idea, if not backed by perfect execution, falls flat. This one does too.
Here, poor Draupadi's character looks like a cross breed between the gorgeous Vidya Balan and a colourless dead woman. Lord Krishna, the most charming character of the epic, ended up looking like a podgy listless character.
But all is not lost with this one, though. The star ensemble gives an impressive performance through their voices and there is a sense of delight one feels when Sunny Deol as Bheema falls for Hidimba or Ajay Devgn as Arjun wins the hand of the feisty Vidya Balan as Draupadi. Amitabh Bachchan as Bhishma and Anupam Kher as Shakuni, Jackie Shroff as Duryodhan, Shatrughan Sinha as Krishna, Anil Kapoor as Karna and Madhuri Dixit as Durga Maa put a lot of heart into their characters, making them almost come alive. If aided by better quality of animation, this could have been a far superior product.
It is a pity that the animation industry in the country is still struggling to find a foothold either in terms of economics or quality, while our kids continue to watch foreign channels for their dose of cartoons and animated series.
Yet, Mahabharata should be given the credit for being a film with sincere attempt and ambition. However, its lack of vision, especially in terms of technology, works completely against it.

My visit to Rose Bakery was somewhat of a pilgrimage as I have been baking from and a huge fan of their amazing cookbook 'Breakfast, Lunch and Tea' (see my rhubarb tart) and wanted to see and taste first hand the deliciousness of their creations.
Rose Bakery is unlike your typical French patisserie. It is much more…British. And that's because Rose Carrarini (who is English) and her husband Jean-Charles (who is French) are the dynamic duo behind it. There isn't in fact a croissant or pain au chocolat in sight.
Since opening in 2002 there are now two branches of Rose Bakery with Parisians queuing out the door for the luscious cakes, tarts, quiches and fresh salads. And you know from entering the bakery that they mean business. The space is simple and the majority of it belongs to the kitchen and a display counter of the days delights fresh from the oven.
A single row of tables line the other length of the bakery, seating no more than 30. We arrived just after midday and there were a couple of tables available but before long the place was full. Mouths watering we ogled at the rows of cakes and savoury tarts and watched as the pastry chef behind the counter was rolling out more dough.
Savoury cravings won out in the end and we ordered a roast vegetable and a courgette tart which comes with a selection of salads.
The tarts were delicate. Airy fillings which were more like a quiche with crisp buttery pastry cases. The salads fresh and interesting flavours of beans with ginger and sesame, carrot and cumin and a nutty wild rice.
If you can't squeeze in a slice of cake or fresh scone after your brunch, it's ok, they do take-away! And I suggest you don't leave empty handed.
Rose Bakery is definitely worth a visit for a delicious brunch in a very 'un-French' like setting. It is a little on the pricey side but being able to watch the bakes come out of the oven and onto your plate I think justifies it.

Detroit Prosecutor Clears ICE Agent in Fatal Shooting, Saying Black Lives Matter, But So Do 'Credible Facts'

DETROIT — Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy on Wednesday morning presented a mountain of evidence to defend the actions of ICE agent Mitchell Quinn who fatally shot Terrance Kellom, 20, in late April in Detroit during a raid at his home. He was wanted for armed robbery and other charges.
Worthy, using a power point with photos and schematics of the house, went step by step through the investigation at a press conference, as if she were delivering a closing argument in a case, and said that the shooting was justified and no criminal charges would be filed against Quinn, who was part of a fugitive task force. Her presentation included lab results.
She said the lengthy investigation conducted by the Michigan State Police-Detroit Police Department homicide task force backed up Quinn's version of what happened: That Kellom came at him with a claw hammer and wouldn't retreat even after being warned to back down and being shot once. He was shot a total of four times.
She also indicated that the investigation showed that Kellom's father lied to investigators and gave conflicting versions of the unfolding events.
The shooting had the potential to turn ugly in the community, with the Kellom family and other activists demanding justice and a criminal charge against the ICE agent.
Kellom's father had said that the agent shot his unarmed son after he had surrendered. Had the investigation confirmed that scenario, there's a good chance criminal charges would have been filed.

Border Protection Commissioner Says It's Impossible Not To Have Some Illegal Entries at Border
GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump wants to seal off the border.
But U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske says it's not possible to keep everyone out of the U.S.
"You're certainly not going to have a border as long as we have with the government of Mexico that is going to not ever have anyone cross illegally," Kerlikowske said Tuesday while visiting the San Ysidro Port Of Entry south of San Diego, according to a report by the TV station 7 San Diego.

Judge Gives Rare OK to Discovery in Lawsuit Challenging DEA Bulk Surveillance
By Mark Rumold
A federal judge in Los Angeles has given our clients, Human Rights Watch, the go-ahead to take discovery from the government in our ongoing lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the DEA's bulk surveillance program. Friday's decision is rare, and it's a decisive victory—both for HRW and for the general public. EFF is not aware of any other case where discovery has been allowed into a government mass surveillance program. And the order forces the government to answer questions, under oath, about the steps it took to ensure that all illegally collected records have been fully purged from all government systems.
The case stems from the DEA's disclosure in January of this year that it had secretly collected Americans' international call records in bulk for over two decades. News reports described the program as massive—sweeping in billions of records of Americans' calls to more than 100 countries around the globe, including Canada, Mexico, India, and Italy. The DEA relied only on an obscure administrative subpoena statute to obtain the records in bulk. That means, unlike the NSA's bulk surveillance program, there was no judicial involvement whatsoever. Making matters worse, reports confirm that multiple agencies searched the illegally collected records for all kinds of cases—from terrorism, to drug trafficking, to export violations.
In April, immediately following a lengthy report in USA Today, EFF filed suit on behalf of Human Rights Watch against the DEA, DHS, FBI, and various unnamed agencies. The lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of the program, and seeks to ensure that the program is permanently stopped rather than merely suspended as claimed by DEA. The suit further asks the court to ensure that all illegally collected records are accounted for and destroyed.

Ex-Subway Pitchman Jared Fogle Pleads Guilty in Child Porn Case, CNN Reports
Ex-Subway pitchman Jared Fogle has reached a plea agreement that would see him serve between five and 12½ years in prison for child pornography and having sex with a minor, CNN reports.
Fogle was expected to make an appearance in federal court on Wednesday.
CNN reports that court documents show that the charges against Fogle are tied to his relationship with Russell C. Taylor, the executive director of the Jared Foundation, who was arrested more than two months ago on federal child pornography charges.
CNN reported that court documents said:
Between 2011 and April 2015, Fogle received from Taylor multiple pornographic images of minors engaging in sexually explicit contact.
Fogle had conversations with Taylor about the child porn, but instead of alerting authorities, he "chose to benefit from such production by obtaining access to a significant amount of such material."
The images and videos were recorded by Taylor at his home through the use of hidden cameras.
Between 2010 and February 2013, Fogle traveled from Indiana to New York to pay to have sex with minors.
One victim told investigators she had sex with Fogle twice when she was 17 in exchange for money, once at the Plaza Hotel and once at the Ritz Carlton, both in New York City.
The same minor also said that Fogle had sex with her three other times before 2012, when she was 16.
Prosecutors say that text messages, travel records, hotel records and a search of Fogle's home provided evidence of these arrangements.
The same minor said Fogle had sex with another 16-year-old girl on another occasion.
