Home Entertainment News Matt O'Ree To Appear On Mooch & Mata Show
Matt O'Ree To Appear On Mooch & Mata Show
Trish Mata and Paul Anthony a/k/a Mooch & Mata
It has just been announced that Jersey guitar maven, Matt O'Ree, will appear next Wednesday on The Mooch & Mata show which is a weekly feature presentation hosted on Rutgers University Radio. (The show, airing in New Brunswick, New Jersey, broadcasts every Wednesday, from 4:00-5:30 EST). Readers will remember O'Ree as not only the frontman of The Matt O'Ree Band but also as the rhythm guitar player on Jon Bon Jovi's last tour which we covered. Additionally, O'Ree has forged a friendship and working relationship with Bon Jovi keyboardist David Bryan who regularly appears with O'Ree.
The Matt O'Ree Band (l. to r., Layonne Holmes, John Hummel, Eryn Shewell, Matt O'Ree, and, Scott Bennert)
O'Ree, a renowned blues and rock artist, has announced the release of his new album which will drop on November 23. In fact on that same date O'Ree and crew will be hosting a CD release party at the historic Stone Pony in Asbury Park.
Promotional poster for the record release party
The upcoming album, aptly entitled Brotherhood, will feature a track sung by Jersey's own Boss, Bruce Springsteen, which is called Black Boots. Also appearing on Brotherhood is a track which O'Ree co-wrote with David Bryan which is entitled My Everything Is You.
O'Ree will be a great spot for Mooch & Mata who have forged a modern and progressive, while also being throw-back, radio format which combines interaction with in studio guests while also–get this–providing a forum for musicians to render impromptu live acoustic performances. In fact, in just the last two weeks Mooch & Mata have had some greats spots with local bands, Colossal Street Jam and Lethal Affection.
Hailing from the beautiful Rutgers University campus in New Brunswick, Mooch & Mata also offer their guests the state of the art amenities which for spots like O'Ree's, will bode well for listeners.
Mooch & Mata on the air
Mata, an actress and accomplished jazz vocalist, and, Mooch a/k/a Paul Anthony, a seasoned veteran of the music business, offer divergent backgrounds which blend to bring a unique chemistry which works with both listeners and guests alike. We fully expect that spot with Matt O'Ree will be a great one particularly considering a likely live performance by the bluesmaster himself. If you love music, you will definately want to tune in for this one.
Editor's Note: Listeners can access the Mooch & Mata show at WRSU 88.7 FM or via the Mooch & Mata Facebook page.

Home Law and Justice The Press Is Wrong on Masterpiece Cakeshop. The Baker Lost.
The Press Is Wrong on Masterpiece Cakeshop. The Baker Lost.
Bakery owner Jack Phillips got the decision he wanted, but the next time he turns away a same-sex couple, he will lose his case.
by Andrew Koppelman
AP Photo/David Zalubowski
The press is reporting that the Christian baker who refused to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding has won his case in the Supreme Court. That is technically accurate but deeply misleading. He did get the decision against him reversed, but the next time he turns away a same-sex couple (as he has said he will do), he will lose his case. The Court's opinion provides no tangible help for the baker or other religious objectors to antidiscrimination laws, though it offers them some important moral encouragement.
The facts of Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission are simple. Charlie Craig and David Mullins visited the Masterpiece bakery and looked through a photo album of custom-designed cakes. When the owner, Jack Phillips, greeted them, they told him (according to his own testimony) that they "wanted a wedding cake for 'our wedding.'" Phillips told them that he did not create wedding cakes for same-sex weddings. They left immediately without discussing any details of their proposed wedding cake. Craig and Mullins then filed a civil rights complaint against Phillips for violating Colorado's antidiscrimination statute. Phillips claimed, unsuccessfully, that he was protected by freedom of speech and freedom of religion. The Supreme Court agreed to hear his appeal.
As the case developed, however, it became clear that, while the justices were sympathetic to Phillips, there was no coherent First Amendment theory by which he could win. They saw the problem in the oral argument. It wasn't just that the arguments were unsuccessful. It was that they were so silly that they raised questions about the Court's wisdom in agreeing to hear the case in the first place. How could it extricate itself without embarrassment?
The Court seized on one detail in the record (as, after the oral argument, I thought it might). One of the members of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had declared: "Freedom of religion and religion has been used to justify all kinds of discrimination throughout history ... to me it is one of the most despicable pieces of rhetoric that people can use to—to use their religion to hurt others." Justice Anthony Kennedy's opinion for the Court observed that this disparaged Phillips's religion "in at least two distinct ways: by describing it as despicable, and also by characterizing it as merely rhetorical—something insubstantial and even insincere." The language, which neither the other commissioners, the later court rulings, nor the state's brief disavowed, "cast doubt on the fairness and impartiality of the Commission's adjudication of Phillips's case."
As the temperature rises on the gay rights/discrimination issue, one sees a lot of this kind of rhetoric on the left. It is unfair and contributes to the nasty political polarization that gave us the presidency of Donald Trump. Kennedy was right to denounce it. State officials have no business deciding which religious beliefs are despicable or hypocritical.
The victory for conservatives here was modest, but it was a victory to which they were entitled.
The commission ordered Phillips to "cease and desist from discriminating against ... same-sex couples by refusing to sell them wedding cakes or any product [they] would sell to heterosexual couples." No money damages were awarded. The order was vacated, but in fact he is still subject to it, because there's no reason to think that he would prevail on a do-over. That's why it's a mistake to say that he won.
Keep this site free and open for all to read...
SUPPORT THE PROSPECT
Under Colorado law, this is an easy case. The antidiscrimination statute requires him to sell same-sex couples the exact same goods that he's willing to sell to heterosexual couples. Kennedy reaffirmed the longstanding rule that "[religious and philosophical] objections do not allow business owners and other actors in the economy and in society to deny protected persons equal access to goods and services under a neutral and generally applicable public accommodations law." He cited the 1968 Piggy Park case, in which the owner of a barbecue restaurant unsuccessfully asserted that his religious objections entitled him to discriminate against black customers.
Three justices tried to nudge the decision toward a substantive victory for the baker, claiming that there was a product that Phillips would not sell to anyone: a "cake celebrating same-sex marriage" (Justice Neil Gorsuch), "custom wedding cakes that express approval of same-sex marriage" (Justice Clarence Thomas; Samuel Alito joined both concurrences). This trick won't work. There are no such cakes. What Phillips refused to sell, Justice Elena Kagan responded, "was simply a wedding cake—one that (like other standard wedding cakes) is suitable for use at same-sex and opposite-sex weddings." Kagan is right. In Piggy Park, the Court would not have accepted a claim that the owner would refuse without discrimination to sell "racially integrated dining," or "food that expresses approval of integration."
Phillips's claim should earn some sympathy. There are other bakers, and if you're gay you don't want Phillips to have anything to do with your wedding anyway. It ought to be possible for the contending sides of the gay rights/religious liberty controversy to reach some kind of deal. This kind of bargain is, however, beyond the institutional capacity of courts. They can't learn through negotiation what each side's most urgent interests are, and they can't draw the kind of arbitrary lines that negotiations often produce. But before we can start talking with one another, we need to stop demonizing each other. The Court's modest opinion is valuable to the extent that it reminds us to do that.

The religious belief of the Datuk Keramat worship can be found in Malaysia, Singapore and along the Strait of Malacca. It is a fusion of Malaysian folk religion, Sufism, and Chinese folk religion in Southeast Asia.

In Malay,  means a village chief, a grandfather, or person in a high position and  is an Arabic loanword associated with Sufism that means "sacred, holy, blessed, mystical, supernatural, highly respected".

Worshippers usually offer flowers, fruits, rice and vegetable to the shrines. Benzoin is also burnt to emit a smoky fragrant smell as part of the ritual.

Origins
According to local legends, all  were once humans who had a standing in society either for their position or special attributes. They could have been an important leader, a renowned healer, a  warrior, a landlord, a pious man or even a respectable ,  or . Upon their death, locals and their followers would sometimes offer prayers at their gravestones, in line with the concept of . In several cases, a large anthill structure was present on the grave. With the arrival of Chinese immigrants who carried along with them the Confucian belief of Ancestral Worship and their respect for Nature, both practices converged and formed a new micro-culture as observed today. Datuks, referred to in Chinese as Na Tuk Kong, is considered a localised form in worship of the spirit of the land, along with Tu Di Gong (Earth Deities).

Shrines

Keramat is a small yellow-coloured painted shrines that can be found along sidewalks or under trees in Malaysia. These shrines are usually worshipped by residents living nearby. The shrines are normally of a fusion Chinese-Malay design, with Islamic elements such as the crescent moon decorations. Inside the shrine, a small, decorated statue or a piece of stone (wrapped in yellow cloth) is venerated, representing the . Offerings are brought and placed around the , or sometimes on a small altar in front of it.

Types
One belief is that there are a total of nine types of , and that each of them were once great warriors and expert in Malay local martial arts, the  except for the last . They were also known to possess great magical powers. Worshippers usually pray to  for protection, good health, and good luck, and sometimes seek divine help to overcome their problems.

Below are the nine  from the eldest to the youngest:

1. Datuk Panglima Ali (Ali)
2. Datuk Panglima Hitam (Black)
3. Datuk Panglima Harimau (Tiger)
4. Datuk Panglima Hijau (Green)
5. Datuk Panglima Kuning (Yellow)
6. Datuk Panglima Putih (White)
7. Datuk Panglima Bisu (Mute)
8. Datuk Panglima Merah (Red)
9. Datuk Panglima Bongsu (Youngest)

The structure of  worship is diversified according to localities. For example, in the old quarters of Georgetown, the presence of The Seven Brothers or Tujuh Beradik' 'is common while in the royal town of Klang in Selangor, most of the spirits worshipped are believed to be members of the royal court (sultans, officers, warriors etc.), each with their own unique identity.

Worship ritual
Worshippers usually offer fresh flowers,  (betelnuts),  (local hand rolled cigarettes), sliced  (areca nuts) and local fruits. An important part of the praying ritual is also to burn some  (benzoin, made from a local gum tree, when burnt emit a smoky fragrant smell).

If their prayers are answered, the worshippers usually return to the shrine and make offerings or hold a  (feast). Another common practise is for individuals to renovate the shrines to create a better looking shrine for the . In most places where there is a heavy presence of  spirits, it is common to see shrines becoming larger over time, especially if individuals consider the  to be 'powerful'.

The  items usually consist of yellow saffron rice, lamb or chicken curries, vegetables,  (bananas), young coconuts, rose syrup,  (local cigars) and local fruits.

Pork items are considered impure and are therefore forbidden in shrines; visitors are also asked to not show disrespect when inside or around a shrine.

Accused Killer Arrested in Second Cold Case Homicide:
2005 Murder of 19-Year-Old Bushwick Man
Defendant Previously Charged with Killing Teenager in 2004;
Newly-Created Brooklyn DA's Cold Case Unit will Investigate Unsolved Crimes
Acting Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, together with New York City Police Commissioner James P. O'Neill, today announced that a 38-year-old man who is under indictment for the 2004 murder of a Bushwick teenage girl has been arrested in connection with the death of 19-year-old Rashawn Brazell in the same Brooklyn neighborhood a full year later. The case was investigated by the District Attorney's Forensic Science Unit, which is expanding to include a Cold Case Unit that will continue to identify and investigate old, unsolved homicides and other crimes.
Acting District Attorney Gonzalez said, "For 12 long years, the family and friends of Rashawn Brazell have been searching for answers after this beloved young man was killed and discarded in such a horrific fashion. Today, I am pleased to say that we have solved this cold case, hopefully allowing a small measure of closure for Mr. Brazell's loved ones. Our newly-created Cold Case Unit will now work to get justice for homicide victims whose cases remain unsolved."
Recognizing the importance of solving all homicides, the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office is expanding its Forensic Science Unit to include a Cold Case Unit. The Unit will be staffed with a newly-hired forensic analyst with extensive work experience at New York City's Office of Chief Medical Examiner. This DNA expert will assist in analyzing previous testing in cold cases and advise if additional tests are available and necessary. She will also review all DNA reports obtained by the Office, prepare expert witnesses and assist prosecutors in cross examining defense expert witnesses. The Brooklyn DA's Office is the only prosecutorial agency in New York State that has a forensic analyst on staff to help navigate the increasingly complicated and ever-developing landscape of DNA and other forensic evidence.
The Acting District Attorney identified the defendant in this case as Kwauhuru Govan, 38, formerly of Gates Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn. He was arrested today on a warrant charging him with second-degree murder.
On November 17, 2016, following an investigation by the NYPD's Cold Case Squad and the Brooklyn District Attorney's Forensic Science Unit, Govan was charged with the murder and kidnapping of 17-year-old Sharabia Thomas, who left her Gates Avenue home on February 11, 2004 and was found dead inside two laundry bags later that day. That case was solved based on previously-untested DNA evidence that was recovered from under Sharabia's fingernails and matched the defendant, whose DNA profile was entered into a national database after a 2014 arrest in Florida. That homicide case is still pending.
The case was investigated by New York City Police Department Detectives Evelin Guiterrez and Jason Palamara of the NYPD Cold Case Squad, under the supervision of Lieutenant David Nilsen of the NYPD Cold Case Squad.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Rachel Singer, Chief of the District Attorney's Forensic Science/Cold Case Unit, with the assistance of Assistant District Attorney Danielle Reddan of the District Attorney's Trial Bureau III, Grey Zone.
An arrest is not proof of a defendant's guilt.

AT&T is on track to fulfil its 15-market LTE goal by the end of the year, and luckily New York City is on that list as the carrier confirmed it's on track to launching its speedy network in the Big Apple. With speeds of 5Mbps to 12Mbps on the downlink, the network matches the one on Verizon Wireless in speeds.
AT&T uses the 700MHz bands and is currently undergoing testing. Currently, you have a couple of options for handsets: the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket, the HTC Vivid, and the upcoming LG Nitro HD all support LTE.
The second-largest US carriers expects to cover 70 million Americans by the end of the year, which is not a bad achievement, but pales in comparison to Verizon's 200 million covered.
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--John Stephens, AT&T Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, today announced that AT&T* is on track to break its single-quarter record for smartphone sales.
AT&T's strong smartphone sales in part reflect a higher number of handset upgrades from customers who were waiting for the launch of a new iPhone. AT&T previously announced that it activated more than 1 million iPhone 4S' in the first five days the device was available. AT&T said iPhone 4S sales remain strong. Only on AT&T's network can iPhone 4S users download three times faster and talk and surf at the same time.
The webcast of Stephens' presentation will be available for replay on the AT&T Investor Relations website until Dec. 30, 2011.
Well when the merger happenes they will have more coverage than verizon right? A store manager told me this last week. If AT&T can accomplish this I might jump ship from verizon! and they are said to get the Galaxy Note!!
More coverage of what? Voice? 3G? HSPA+? LTE? If At&t merges with T-Mobile they will pick up some Voice, 3G and HSPA+ coverage but T-Mobile never developed LTE so no bonus there. Also Verizon never tried a 3.5G like At&t did with HSPA+ so you can't really compare that coverage.
HSPA+ is the advantage AT&T has until Verizon is completed with their 4G LTE buildout. The spectrum that T-Mobile has can be converted to use with 4G LTE. Funny how the FCC let Verizon get a huge chunk of AWS from the cable companies to use and says no to AT&T.
Considering that the physical footprint of T-Mobile is pretty much a 100% overlap with AT&T, their coverage itself won't change. If they merge their systems then AT&T's cell site density will make their coverage more efficient, but since they will be forced to divest most of those MSA overlaps if they pursued and ever got approval for a merger, I don't see a net benefit to anyone, least of all the customer.
Merger is very unlikely at this point so at&t needs to get to work now! yeah these are claiming that they'll have how many million of people covered? sure if they only care to cover people instead of area, just get NYC, Texas, Chicago, LA, and just a few majr cities and they'll have over 100 million right there, and the rest? wait a couple more years at least.
i'll believe it when I see it AT&T.
I live just outside NYC and just picked up my WHITE Skyrocket yesterday. Saaawwwweeeeetttt..... And there are many reports of AT&T's LTE service with multiple speeds in the mid 20Mbps range. So what's with the 5-12 Mbps range? That's HSPA+ speed. Being I don't get LTE yet, I was getting 3.5Mbps in my basement with 2 bars. Previously with my Captivate I didn't get ANY service in the basement and 2 bars on the main floor. Now I get 4 bars on the main floor while 3G phones in the house still get the bad reception. This phone rocks!!! Got a sick white hard-case to go with it.
Yeah, that's at&t hspa+ speeds, I get an average of 10.5 mbps on hspa+, I don't think LTE is the same, and same goes for Verizon, I don't/never have/had Verizon LTE, but I don't think theirs is 5-12mbps either, considering what I hear.
I am getting LTE speeds here in Queens, NY. Anywhere from 18-31 MBPS, very fast speeds. Even when having only 2 bars i get close to 20 MBPS. This is way faster then Verizon LTE.


Joachim Horn, EVP and Group CTIO, took a few minutes to discuss the challenges and opportunities of being the first operator to roll out LTE operations without any other legacy in the Netherlands. He also talked about the need for a competitive IT platform to succeed.

Hardee Deputy Killed During Irma Recalled As Hero
WUSF Public Media - WUSF 89.7 | By Associated Press
Dozens of law enforcement officers attended the funeral of a deputy killed in a head-on collision on the way home from work as Hurricane Irma began.
Hardee County Sheriff's Deputy Julie Ann Bridges collided with Joseph Ossman, a sergeant with the Hardee Correctional Institute who was headed to work on September 10. Authorities said the area was affected by rain and other hurricane-related conditions at the time of the crash, but its official cause remains under investigation.
During Saturday's funeral, her 8-year-old son accepted a flag from the sheriff that had been draped on her casket.
Sheriff Arnold Lanier described the 42-year-old as a hard worker, who loved her job and her son.
The Bradenton Herald reported a photo slide show featured many pictures of Bridges with her son.
She worked for the sheriff's office for 13 years.

Listening to this album is a bittersweet feeling for me.
Like every A Tribe Called Quest fan, I was ecstatic (akin to a kid on X-Mas morning) when they announced that they would reunite to release their first album since 1998's The Love Movement (and sixth overall), We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service. However, the news arrived following the tragic passing of Phife Dawg, due to complications from diabetes.
The album is a return to Tribe's trademark eclectically jazzy sounds, while the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Jack White, André 3000, Consequence, Busta Rhymes, Talib Kweli, Anderson .Paak and Elton John join them throughout the 16-track album.
A mixture of The Ummah sonics of before with some of the top artists today who've been inspired by the Native Tongue, it comes at a time when many Americans are unsure of their very futures and the one thing that could take them away from that is music.
The tracklist — with features — can be seen below.
This all comes ahead of their anticipated performance on Saturday Night Live, with guest host Dave Chappelle, as well as a street in Queens being named after Phife Dawg.
We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service officially arrives at midnight with pre-orders available on iTunes.

Mark Naison: Speaks out about "white privilege"
[Mark Naison is Professor of African American Studies and History, Fordham University.]
While I am all for pointing out the many contexts in which being "white" confers enormous advantages, not only historically, but in American society today, I am extremely wary of the concept of "white privilege,"especially the way it is used on college campuses in racial sensitivity sensitivity sessions and diversity training
First of all, the people using the term, whatever their racial background, need to turn the lens of privilige inward before they apply it outward. Without exception, the people on university campuses using this language, whether as scholars or workshop leaders, or even as students, are, in terms of education, living standards, and economic opportunities, far more priviliged than the millions of working class and poor
whites whose lives they purport to describe by using this sweeping term.
It is one thing to talk about white privilege to white students at elite universities where the bulk of these students from upper middle class families and are privileged economically as well as racially relatively to their Black and Latino peers, it is another thing to talk that way to white working class Americans in their homes, and bars and places of recreation.
Try taking your "white privilege" workshop to a truck stop, a bus depot, an emergency room at a local hospital, a beauty parlor, a credit union or an unemployment center
The people there would not only laugh in your face, they would take one look at you and ask what right YOU have to talk to THEM about privilege!
Now don't get me wrong, I think you can and should talk to white working class people about racism, whether it is in their union meetings, their living rooms, their bars or any where else they congregate! If they harass,abuse or discriminate against people of color, they need to be taken to task for that and challenged to do better. Not only should you tell them why that is wrong, you should try to make sure that they are penalized for their actions.
But to tell people who have known hardship and struggle almost every day of their lives ( yes, some white people have known hardship!) that they are privileged makes no sense. Worse yet, it stinks of hypocrisy
Did you ever hear a black union leader talk about "white privilege" when demanding that his union fight racism? A black minister leading protests aginst police brutality? A Latino leader of immigrant rights marches? A Iraq war veteran trying to mobilize people for decent health care? An organizer fighting to perserve affordable housing?
The only people who use the term "white privilege" term are professors and sensitivity consultants and they do so behind the safety of university gates.
In the real world, the term is not only useless, it is counterproductive. It divides people being pushed down the economic ladder prevents them from organizing together on the basis of their common suffering.
Let's fight racism and build solidarity, not glibly disseminate categories which violate most working class Americans understanding of their own lived experience.

Home Premier League Giggs: Man City have 3 of the greatest ever EPL players
Giggs: Man City have 3 of the greatest ever EPL players
Andrew Smyth
8:03 pm - May 15, 2019
Manchester City have THREE players who could walk into any of the best English teams over the last three decades, says Ryan Giggs.
City record an incredible 32 victories in 38 games on route to their second consecutive Premier League title with a staggering 98 points. Neighbours Manchester United were the last time to win back-to-back titles in 2009.
But Giggs, who was a part of that Red Devils team, reckons that Vincent Kompany, David Silva and Sergio Aguero all stand out in Pep Guardiola's star-studded squad.
The now-Wales manager thinks the City trio could literally walk into any of the great English teams from the past three decades.
"They've got probably, in my view, three players who would walk into any team in the Premier League era," said Giggs on the Premier League.
"David Silva, Kompany, Aguero. There may be an argument for [Kevin] De Bruyne as well."
Incredibly, City have won 64 of their 78 league games over the past two seasons with 198 points collected in total.
But 13-time Premier League winner Giggs doesn't think Guardiola's men are legends just yet.
"It's a conversation, because of what they're doing and the players that they've got, the age of the group," said Giggs on City's legacy.
Solskjaer admits United need a player like Bryan Robson
Manuel R. Medina - July 15, 2019
The Red Devils manager believes the former midfielder had a lot of class and this is exactly what the team needs.
"But [they're] probably not quite there yet with regards to a couple of United teams because they went on to win the Champions League.
"So the 1998-99 team, obviously United in the 2007-08 team, because they went on to win the Champions League.
"So if they keep winning the Premier League, win a Champions League, then yes, they've got to be up there with the greatest of all time."
On the back of their Premier League and Carabao Cup success, City can win the treble by beating Watford in Saturday's FA Cup final at Wembley.

The ghazal is composed of a minimum of five couplets—and typically no more than fifteen—that are structurally, thematically, and emotionally autonomous. Each line of the poem must be of the same length, though meter is not imposed in English. The first couplet introduces a scheme, made up of a rhyme followed by a refrain. Subsequent couplets pick up the same scheme in the second line only, repeating the refrain and rhyming the second line with both lines of the first stanza. The final couplet usually includes the poet's signature, referring to the author in the first or third person, and frequently including the poet's own name or a derivation of its meaning.
Other languages that adopted the ghazal include Hindi, Pashto, Turkish, and Hebrew. The German poet and philosopher Goethe experimented with the form, as did the Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca.
For mixers, my love, you'd poured—what?—even the rain.
The sound I make is sympathy's: sad dogs are tied afar.
Numerous scholars and poets have attempted to translate ghazals from their original language to English. The task is daunting, as keeping the literal meaning of each poem while respecting the rhyme, refrain, and length of lines is difficult, if not impossible. Aijaz Ahmad's Ghazals of Ghalib; Versions from the Urdu, provides a fascinating look at how various poets, including Adrienne Rich, William Stafford, William Hunt, David Ray, and W.S. Merwin, worked with a literal translation of Ghalib's Urdu ghazals to render their own versions in English. Elizabeth T. Gray's The Green Sea of Heaven, which offers fifty ghazals by Hafiz, provides a reliable literal translation of the Persian master, at the expense of form.


A caretaker's cottage was located on the Provo Tabernacle block. 2012 by Intellectual Reserve, Inc.
First came the backhoes in mid-October, scraping off asphalt and modern layers of dirt. Then came the smaller tools — picks and shovels.
The excavation took place over the course of three weeks on the site of the old Provo Tabernacle, where work is underway to use the tabernacle's old walls in the construction of the new Provo City Center Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The excavation revealed a remarkably intact picture of one of the earliest baptistries built in Utah. In fact, the Provo baptistry, which was constructed in the 1870s, was the first outside Salt Lake City with the exception of one in St. George.
Archeologists knew the baptistry existed from church historical records and fire insurance maps going back more than 100 years. Still, Talbot called the findings "a great surprise."
Talbot and his team, which included a dozen BYU students, found not only the baptistry walls, but also the lower walls of the 5-by-9-foot font as well as pipes and the foundation of what they think was a stove used to heat the water. The baptistry provided privacy and a more comfortable, year-round setting for baptisms to take place, according to Talbot.
The small building was located near a meetinghouse built around 1860 and the old Provo Tabernacle, which was built in the 1880s. The baptistry's remains were found just to the northwest of where the temple will stand. Church leaders expect the temple to be completed in 2015.

So, Ya Want Wedding Details?
Home » So, Ya Want Wedding Details?
Well, it's official! Sunday, July 1, Marvelyne and I were married. It was a small wedding held in the home of Marvelyne's sister, Martha, here in Orlando. Since I've had tons of friends asking for the details, here ya go!
We were fortunate to have the pastors, Leah and Jeff, not only hold the title of pastor, but also of friend. Leah and I have known one another since our first summer working at Camp Mo-Val, some 11 years ago. Marvelyne and Jeff have been friends just as long. It was incredibly special to have these two friends officiate our marriage. Thanks to both for giving part of themselves on our special day!
The groomsmen were DJ Grimwood, my old Kappa Sigma pledge brother and best friend, as well as Marvelyne's son, Jordan. Taylor and Maddison, Marvelyne's daughters, were the bridesmaids. Our flower girls were our neices, Lauren, Michaela and Gabby.
After the wedding ceremony, Marvelyne and I had a few minutes to ourselves in an upstairs sitting room(just enough time to wipe away the tears and touch up some make-up…hers, not mine). We also had a few minutes to re-engage with the kids before entering the meal poolside. Since the rain had ended, Carraba's and wedding cake were served outside. The night was beautiful, the friends and family precious andeverything was what we wanted-intimate, personal, funny and beautiful.
mmm. i love you too!
Congratulations on the wedding! Very happy for you both!

Are Wrexham doomed to an eternity in non league?
By Jonny Keen
Britain Dean Keates Dean Saunders Football League National League National North Relegation Battle Stockport County Sutton United Wales Football Wrexham Wrexham Fc Conference Wrecsam Racecourse Red Dragons North Wa Welsh
Loyalty in excess may cost Wrexham in today's changing football landscape
Background image: Mark Barnes, CC BY 2.5
When a big club drops out of the Football League, there's often an assumption they'll bounce back at the first attempt. A bunch of part-timers and new-money upstarts should be no match for a historic league club with an established infrastructure and bolstered by parachute payments. Right? Right.
Those notions are now thoroughly debunked thanks to the host of supposedly big teams slated to coast to victory who [cough] do not. Reality is different. Stockport County plummetted to the National League in 2011 and were relegated a second time two years later. Indeed, it's a rare achievement for a newly relegated team to return immediately whence they came. Since 1990, a mere five teams accomplished the feat. Those part-timers are better than they look.
Wrexham are in trouble. Having competed in the National League since 2008, they've had precious little to celebrate. They failed to win promotion and now face the very real danger of relegation to the National League North. There, they'll face the likes of Brackley Town and Curzon Ashton, waving goodbye to money-spinning clashes with Halifax and Stockport.
It may seem strange for a relatively big club to slowly implode thanks to slipping down a single tier but, for clubs like Wrexham, the myriad problems accompanying relegation from the Football League can cripple a side unless countered with swift promotion's antidote. Players struggle to adapt to the physical, no-nonsense non-league style. Premier League prima donnas ask themselves whether they can do it on a cold night in Burnley. Mid-level pros embarking on their debut campaigns in the National League wonder how they'll fare against a gaggle of postmen and builders earning pocket money in the mud baths of Chorley and Dover.
As the years go by, the slippery spectre of promotion eludes the grasping hands of desperate clubs and the task only gets harder. Those parachute payments soon dry up. Reduced gates, sponsorship and TV revenues evaporate. The huge mix of clubs combined with the national scope of non-league's top tier can lead to some truly pitiful attendance figures. Wrexham can attest in the extreme. Cambridgeshire-based village outfit Histon brought precisely zero fans to their away game at the Racecourse, leading to the glorious spectacle of the Welsh outfit's fans singing "It's all gone quiet over there" to a deserted away section.

We weren't at the the bottom for long .Well played lads more of the same wkend @wrexhamfc https://t.co/O4eJRuyiAN
11:41 AM - 4th Dec 19
There is only one automatic promotion spot to League 2. While Wrexham have been continually thwarted in their attempts to occupy it, they've qualified for the playoffs no fewer than four times. On each occasion, the club fell short, only once reaching the final.
Wrexham are helpless travellers on the winds of fate. They've suffered from the National League's overpopulation of well-financed outfits. The season they finished second, the title was snatched by Fleetwood, a club themselves experiencing a meteoric rise and now comfortably established two leagues higher.
Part of the problem is sentimentality. Wrexham have given previous managers far too much leeway. Noted legal expert Dean Saunders was granted a seemingly infinite level of tolerance despite limited success. Current manager Dean Keates, a former club captain, returns for a second spell at the club following a lukewarm first attempt. Plainly, the Red Dragons are failing under his stewardship although two recent wins saw them claw their way out of the relegation places.
If Wrexham don't improve quickly, they'll be facing the same problem squared. Wrexham in the National League North is like Manchester United in League One. Those two wins, including a 2-0 victory over high flying Solihull Moors, put some wind beneath their dragon wings but 20th in the National League is still an appalling place for Wrexham to find themselves, especially when 21st place Sutton United are behind on goals scored with a game in hand.
Whether Keates can rescue his charges remains to be seen. He's done little to prove he has what it takes to take Wrexham back into the top half of the table, yet alone challenge for promotion. Perhaps it's irrelevant. Non-league's top flight was once populated by the best part-time clubs and a handful of struggling part-time outfits. Now, the opposite holds. When the occasional part-time outfit pokes its head out and is immediately crushed by the weight of a fully-funded academy, a professional nutritionist and four training sessions a week, Wrexham suddenly isn't all that special. That's a hard thing to take.

Dems: The Acting Attorney General Can't Continue In His Job. DOJ: Yes, He Can
By Philip Ewing
Published November 20, 2018 at 10:28 AM CST
Critics intensified their pressure on the acting attorney general on Tuesday, but the Justice Department — including the office of special counsel Robert Mueller — says it's carrying out business as usual.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer asked the Justice Department's watchdog to investigate whether there have been any "unlawful or improper communications" between the White House and acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.
Democrats say they worry Trump is using Whitaker to lean on Mueller, who is investigating whether anyone on Trump's campaign may have conspired with the Russians who attacked the 2016 election. Whitaker publicly criticized the Mueller investigation before joining the Trump administration.
"Recent reports regarding Mr. Whitaker's unusual history of contacts with the White House give rise to serious concerns about whether he has engaged in communications intended to undermine or obstruct special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, or that otherwise may have been in violation of law or policy," Schumer wrote.
He was the latest Democrat to go on the offensive against Whitaker over what critics call his "unconstitutional" appointment. Trump put him in place over the Justice Department's already-serving and Senate-confirmed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
A group of Democrats earlier sued the Justice Department in federal court over that appointment, arguing that Whitaker's installation amounts to a bid by Trump to constrain Mueller's work.
"The idea that Matthew Whitaker will control this investigation is absolutely abhorrent. He should at the very least recuse himself," Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal told NPR. "He's already stated that he thinks that the investigation is in effect a hoax. He has provided a blueprint for how to stifle and strangle it by cutting funds, cutting authority, declining subpoenas."
The Justice Department says Whitaker's appointment is supported both by law and history.
"President Trump's designation of Matt Whitaker as acting attorney general of the United States is lawful and comports with the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, the appointments clause of the U.S. Constitution, Supreme Court precedent, past Department of Justice opinions, and actions of U.S. presidents, both Republican and Democrat," said spokeswoman Kerri Kupec.
She alluded to a opinion released by the Office of Legal Counsel that found many past examples of what it called appropriate interim appointments.
Continued Kupec: "There are over 160 instances in American history in which non-Senate confirmed persons performed, on a temporary basis, the duties of a Senate-confirmed position. To suggest otherwise is to ignore centuries of practice and precedent."
Separately, Mueller's office also argued in legal documents that, for at least the purposes of one ongoing court case, Whitaker's appointment has no effect.
The special counsel's office has been fighting a challenge to its legal authority by Andrew Miller, an associate of political consultant Roger Stone.
Miller's attorneys have argued in federal court in Washington, D.C., that Mueller does not have the power to compel Miller to give evidence under a subpoena. As part of that case, a judge asked the parties to explain how much effect Whitaker's appointment has on Mueller's work and the ongoing case.
Zero, the special counsel's office argued.
"None of [the] arguments is affected by the change in the identify of the acting attorney general while this case is on appeal," Mueller's office said in a court filing Monday. "This court should resolve any new challenges that Miller might raise."

Meshblock 2023 Clipped (generalised)
This dataset is the definitive of the annually released meshblock boundaries as at 1 January 2023 as defined by Stats NZ (the custodian), clipped to the coastline. This clipped version has been created for cartographic purposes and so does not fully represent the official full extent boundaries. This version contains 56,789 meshblocks.
Stats NZ maintains an annual meshblock pattern for collecting and producing statistical data. This allows data to be compared over time.
A meshblock is the smallest geographic unit for which statistical data is collected and processed by Stats NZ. A meshblock is a defined geographic area, which can vary in size from part of a city block to a large area of rural land. The optimal size for a meshblock is 30–60 dwellings (containing approximately 60–120 residents).
Each meshblock borders on another to form a network covering all of New Zealand, including coasts and inlets and extending out to the 200-mile economic zone (EEZ) and is digitised to the 12-mile (19.3km) limit. Meshblocks are added together to build up larger geographic areas such as statistical area 1 (SA1), statistical area 2 (SA2), statistical area 3 (SA3), and urban rural (UR). They are also used to define electoral districts, territorial authorities, and regional councils.
Meshblock boundaries generally follow road centrelines, cadastral property boundaries, or topographical features such as rivers. Expanses of water in the form of lakes and inlets are defined separately from land.
Meshblock maintenance
Meshblock boundaries are amended by:
Splitting – subdividing a meshblock into two or more meshblocks.
Nudging – shifting a boundary to a more appropriate position.
Reasons for meshblock splits and nudges can include:
to maintain meshblock criteria rules.
to improve the size balance of meshblocks in areas where there has been population growth
to maintain alignment to cadastre and other geographic features.
Stats NZ requests for boundary changes so that statistical geography boundaries can be moved
external requests for boundary changes so that administrative or electoral boundaries can be moved
to separate land and water. Mainland, inland water, islands, inlets, and oceanic are defined separately
Meshblock changes are made throughout the year. A major release is made at 1 January each year with ad hoc releases available to users at other times.
While meshblock boundaries are continually under review, 'freezes' on changes to the boundaries are applied periodically. Such 'freezes' are imposed at the time of population censuses and during periods of intense electoral activity, for example, prior and during general and local body elections.
Meshblock numbering
Meshblocks are not named and have seven-digit codes.
When meshblocks are split, each new meshblock is given a new code. The original meshblock codes no longer exist within that version and future versions of the meshblock classification. Meshblock codes do not change when a meshblock boundary is nudged.
Meshblocks that existed prior to 2015 and have not changed are numbered from 0000100 to 3210003. Meshblocks created from 2015 onwards are numbered from 4000000.
Digitised and non-digitised meshblocks
The digital geographic boundaries are defined and maintained by Stats NZ.
Meshblocks cover the land area of New Zealand, the water area to the 12mile limit, the Chatham Islands, Kermadec Islands, sub-Antarctic islands, offshore oil rigs, and Ross Dependency. The following 16 meshblocks are not held in digitised form.
Meshblock / Location (statistical area 2 name)

Statistical Area 2 2023 (Centroid Inside)
This dataset contains the inside centroid point layer for the annually released statistical area 2 (SA2) boundaries as at 1 January 2023.
The "inside" centroid is a point which always falls inside each SA2 polygon as this is often desirable. The placement of the point is typically in the widest part of the polygon. The algorithms used are proprietary to ESRI and are related to label placement. Note that the "inside" centroid is NOT always the same as the center of gravity ("true" centroid) of the polygon as in some situations the true centroid may fall outside the SA1 geometry.The dataset contains the EASTING and NORTHING attributes of the centroid point in NZGD2000 New Zealand Transverse Mercator (EPSG:2193) and LATITUDE and LONGITUDE of the centroid point in decimal degrees in WGS1984 (EPSG:4326) projection.
Statistical Area 2 2023 (Centroid True)
This dataset contains the true centroid point layer for the annually released statistical area 2 (SA2) boundaries as at 1 January 2023.
The "true" centroid is the centre of mass of that polygon, such that if some flat substance of uniform thickness and density were cut into the shape of that polygon, then that object would balance at the centroid. The centroid is a useful way of summarizing the location of a set of polygons as points, particularly when used for comparative analysis. Note that the centroid could potentially fall outside the SA2 polygon, depending on the shape of the polygon.The dataset contains the EASTING and NORTHING attributes of the centroid point in NZGD2000 New Zealand Transverse Mercator (EPSG:2193) and LATITUDE and LONGITUDE of the centroid point in decimal degrees in WGS1984 (EPSG:4326) projection.

Statistical Area 2 Higher Geographies 2023 (generalised)
This dataset is the definitive version of the annually released statistical area 2 (SA2) boundaries as at 1 January 2023, defined by Stats NZ and concorded to higher geographies. This version contains 2,395 statistical area 2 areas. (2,379 digitised and 16 with empty or null geometries (non-digitised)).
This dataset is the definitive version of statistical area 2 (SA2) boundaries concorded to higher geographies for 2023 as defined by Stats NZ.This version contains 2,395 SA2s. This statistical area 2 higher geographies file is a correspondence, or concordance, which relates SA2s to larger geographic areas or 'higher geographies'. The higher geographies contained in this concordance are: statistical area 3 (SA3), territorial authority (TA) and regional council (REGC).
Statistical area 2 is an output geography that provides higher aggregations of population data than can be provided at the statistical area 1 (SA1) level. The SA2 geography aims to reflect communities that interact together socially and economically. In populated areas, SA2s generally contain similar sized populations.
For further information on individual higher geographies, refer to each geography's metadata or the Statistical standard for geographic areas 2023.

Territorial Authority 2023 (generalised)
This dataset was first added to Stats NZ Geographic Data Service on 30 Nov 2022.
This dataset is the definitive version of the annually released territorial authority boundaries as at 1 January 2023 as defined by territorial authorities and/or Local Government Commission, and maintained by Stats NZ (the custodian). This version contains 67 territorial authorities, excluding 'area outside territorial authority'.
Territorial authorities are the second tier of local government in New Zealand, below regional councils. They are defined under schedule 2, part 1 of the Local Government Act 2002 as city councils or district councils. Territorial authorities were established in 1989 when 205 territorial local authorities were replaced by 75 territorial authorities. Territorial boundaries must coincide with meshblock boundaries under schedule 3, clause 17 of the Local Government Act 2002.
There are 67 territorial authorities: 12 city councils, 53 district councils, Auckland Council, and Chatham Islands Council. Five territorial authorities (Auckland Council, Nelson City Council, and the Gisborne, Tasman, and Marlborough district councils) also perform the functions of a regional council and are therefore unitary authorities. The Chatham Islands Council performs some regional council functions.
Some territorial authority boundaries are coterminous with regional council boundaries but there are several exceptions. An example is Taupo District, which is split between four regions, although most of its area falls within the Waikato Region. When defining the boundaries of territorial authorities, the Local Government Commission bases considerable weight on the 'community of interest'.
Territorial authorities are defined at meshblock level. Statistical area 1, statistical area 2 and statistical area 3 geographies nest within territorial authority boundaries.
Local government boundaries may be changed through the Local Government Act 2002, an Act of Parliament, or a natural process such as the middle line of a river changing its natural course.
The Territorial Authority classification is released annually on 1 January to coincide with the update of meshblocks, but there are not always changes from the previous classification.
New Zealand's local government structural arrangements were significantly reformed by the Local Government Commission in 1989. Prior to reformation there were 205 territorial local authorities: 28 cities, 78 boroughs, 67 counties, 31 districts, and 1 town district, as well as a multitude of ad-hoc authorities such as pest control boards, drainage boards, catchment boards, and domain and reserve boards.
These were replaced by 74 territorial local authorities, 15 of which were cities and 58 districts. The exception was Chatham Islands County which retained its county status.
Invercargill was proclaimed a city.
Nelson-Marlborough Regional Council was abolished by a Local Government Amendment Act. Kaikoura District was transferred to the Canterbury Region. Nelson City, and Tasman and Marlborough districts became unitary authorities.
The Chatham Islands County was dissolved and reconstituted by a specific Act of Parliament as the "Chatham Islands Territory", with powers similar to those of territorial authorities and some functions similar to those of a regional council. This included the addition of territorial sea, a coastal buffer extending to twelve nautical miles from the coastline.
Tasman District boundary extended to align with the Tasman Region boundary at the 12-mile limit.
Not Applicable category changed to Area Outside Territorial Authority
Tauranga District changed to Tauranga City.2006:Banks Peninsula District merged into Christchurch City as a result of a Local Government Commission decision following a 2005 referendum.
Auckland Council established under the Local Government (Tamaki Makaurau Reorganisation) Act 2009. Rodney District, North Shore City, Waitakere City, Auckland City, Manukau City, Papakura District, and Franklin District territorial councils, and the Auckland Regional Council, were abolished to become a unitary authority known as the Auckland Council. The area now consists of one city council (with statutory provision for three Māori councillors), 13 wards, and 21 local boards.
Wanganui District Council name changed to Whanganui District Council effective 1 December 2015.
Otorohanga District Council name amended to Ōtorohanga District Council.
Opotiki District Council name amended to Ōpōtiki District Council.
Both changes were under schedule 2 of the Local Government Act 2002 and effective 17 January 2020.
A local government reorganisation transferred land between two territorial authorities, Western Bay of Plenty District and Tauranga City. The changes took effect on 19 February 2021 under schedule 3 of the Local Government Act 2002. Refer to the New Zealand Gazette notice for further details.
The territorial authority classification is a flat classification. Territorial authorities are given a unique three-digit code. The classification contains 68 categories (including '999 – Area Outside Territorial Authority').

The "true" centroid is the centre of mass of that polygon, such that if some flat substance of uniform thickness and density were cut into the shape of that polygon, then that object would balance at the centroid. The centroid is a useful way of summarizing the location of a set of polygons as points, particularly when used for comparative analysis. Note that the centroid could potentially fall outside the SA1 polygon, depending on the shape of the polygon.
