Tremendous striped bass fishing was underway, said Capt. Greg from Manicsportfishing. Or striper season was tremendous so far. Practically every trip limited out on the fish in the past week aboard. Up to 34- or 35-pounders were creamed, and the fish were eeled, on very specific tides, mostly in Hudson River. Once the fish migrate into Raritan Bay, that will be bedlam, and that's coming soon. Book dates while they're available. A bottom-fishing trip also sailed, landing blackfish, porgies and triggerfish on Sunday. A trip for sea bass is full on Oct. 8, opening day of sea bass season. Charters and open-boat trips will be fishing for sea bass or stripers. Morning and afternoon trips are sailing for stripers.
Striped bass to 25 pounds with bluefish mixed in were pasted on the Vitamin Sea, Capt. Frank wrote in an email. Conditions played a part, or on days when the tide ran too weakly, the fish never bit, and when the tide screamed, fishing was impossible, even with heavy weight. The angling was often a waiting game. The bass chomped when the tide was right. Charters are fishing, and spaces are available for open-boat trips at 6 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Telephone to reserve. When the stripers move "closer," p.m. trips will also sail open-boat.
Stripers to 36 pounds, good catches, were eeled with the Down Deep Fleet, Capt. Mario said. Open-boat trips are fishing for them daily. Porgy fishing remained good on trips sailing for them daily on Down Deep's other boat. Those trips will run for sea bass and porgies beginning Oct. 8, opening day of sea bass season. A few spaces are available for that day's open trip. Charters are available for up to 15 passengers.
Bottom-fishing scooped up porgies, blackfish and triggerfish with Sour Kraut Sportfishing down the beach at snags that Capt. Joe fishes, he said. He was mostly scoping out blackfish for when the blackfish bag limit increases later this fall. Lots of small blackfish hovered at the snags. Porgy fishing was good off Breezy Point, he heard. Striped bass are biting in New York Harbor off the Statue of Liberty. But that angling, in heavy boat traffic, is not his thing. Nobody he knew tuna fished recently. They seemed to wait for news about the fishing. He'd like to tuna fish soon.
Another great day of porgy fishing was pounded Sunday on the Fishermen, a report said on the party boat's website. Each angler left with plenty of meat, and weather was great, too. Some of the trips were weathered out before last weekend. Loads of porgies were smashed on Saturday's trip in great weather, too. Some of the scup were jumbos, and most of the outing fished one drop, until a move had to be made when the tide changed. Trips are fishing for porgies 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily.
On the party boat Atlantic Star, porgy fishing was different trip to trip, Capt. Tom said. On one trip, a mix of keepers and shorts bit. On a couple of outings, all porgies were keepers that were landed. One trip stayed at one spot and picked away. Another made some moves. Sometimes porgy fishing was good aboard. Sometimes it was a little tougher. The current or tide and the area fished seemed to make the difference. But the trips were catching the fish. Not all trips sailed late last week, because of weather. Weather improved since. Trips are fishing for porgies 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 to 6 p.m. daily.
The boat just passed a Coast Guard inspection with flying colors, Capt. Ralph from Last Lady Fishing Charters wrote in an email. It'll be splashed back into the water at mid-week to be ready for sea bass fishing. Four spaces are available for an individual-reservation trip for sea bass on Oct. 8, opening day of sea bass season. Another one of the trips was just added for Oct. 21. Bluefishing is available aboard. Striped bass are almost here, and blackfishing will begin on Nov. 16, when the bag limit will be increased to five from the current limit of one. Limited dates are available for charters. More individual-reservation trips will be announced soon.
New engines were installed, and the boat will be splashed today, said Capt. Mike from Celtic Stoirm Charters. Sea bass trips will begin when sea bass season opens starting Oct. 8. Dates are booking for that and for striped bass fishing that will begin later this fall.
Fishing was weathered out Wednesday and Friday with Parker Pete's Fishing Charters, Capt. Pete said. The trips would've fished for blues, porgies, triggerfish or whatever could be angled. He mostly prepared the boat for striped bass fishing later this fall. Dates are available for the first couple of weeks of sea bass season that opens Oct. 8. He hopes striper fishing kicks in locally soon afterward. Dates are available for stripers. Lock them in, while they are. Don't have enough anglers for a charter? Book an individual space with a charter who wants more anglers.
The Golden Eagle's trip Sunday picked at bluefish and a few false albacore and porgies, a report said on the party boat's website. The fishing was slower than recently, but the boat's trip Saturday walloped blues, albies and porgies, super fishing. Trips are fishing 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily, except when tuna trips are running, and 7:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturdays. See the tuna schedule online. A tuna trip was supposed to sail today.
An excellent catch of 3- to 6-pound bluefish and some bonito and false albacore was bombed today on the Miss Belmar Princess east of Shark River Inlet, an email said from the party boat. Most of the anglers limited out on blues, and the trips are running 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily. The trips will sail for striped bass when stripers arrive.
For anglers on the Jamaica II, fishing was picky during the weekend, the party boat's Facebook page said. But Wes Shourt from Manahawkin bagged 32 porgies on Sunday afternoon's trip. The boat will bottom-fish 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday through Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 to 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Sea bass trips will begin on Oct. 8, opening day of sea bass season.
False albacore were probably the biggest thing, said Eric from The Reel Seat. Lots swam in tight schools off Sandy Hook in 30 or 40 feet of water. But shots popped up from there to farther south, off Manasquan Inlet. Boaters mostly cast lures like Deadly Dicks to them. Plenty of small striped bass schooled the surf locally and Manasquan River. In the surf, they were often hooked on plugs like the smallest size of Daiwa SP Minnows, small poppers like from Super Strike and small soft-plastics. Mullet schooled the surf, and if a pod of mullet could be found, stripers usually chased them. Lots of small bluefish schooled from the surf to the Mudhole. In the surf, the blues swiped the striper plugs or mullet fished along bottom. At the Mudhole, boaters often hooked the blues on small jigs. Barnegat Bay gave up pretty decent blowfishing on small pieces of clam in a clam-chum slick. Tuna fishing was slow at offshore canyons. Many mahi mahi swam there, so bring mahi gear on the tuna trips. At mid-range, many small, undersized bluefin tuna swam the Triple Wrecks and the Texas Tower. Few fished for them, because the tuna had to be released.
An open-boat trip Saturday bagged one yellowfin tuna and released half a dozen small with Mushin Sportfishing, a report said on Mushin's Facebook page. The trip crushed mahi mahi 6 to 25 pounds on poppers and jigs on light spinning tackle. Tilefishing was slow on the outing because of strong current. A trip Tuesday tried for mako sharks. No mako was caught, but other sharks were, including a 400-pound hammerhead. The anglers had a great time fighting sharks, it said. On the way home, the trip stopped at two wrecks to try for cod and ling. A couple of bonito and some triggerfish, porgies and chub mackerel were hooked. Out-of-season sea bass and fluke bombarded the bait and were released. Dates are available for sea bass fishing that will be launched Oct. 8, opening day of sea bass season.
One yellowfin tuna and plenty of mahi mahi were decked on a trip Friday to Saturday on the Gambler, a report said on the party boat's website. Some small bluefin tuna were released. See the tuna schedule online. Striped bass trips will begin on Nov. 1.
After rough weather kept trips docked for days, the Norma-K III resumed fishing Saturday, a report said on the party boat's website. Good catches of porgies were clocked throughout the trip, and a few good-sized blackfish were mixed in. Weather looks good this week, and trips are sailing for porgies and blackfish 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily and bluefish 7:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
Plenty of small blues swam the surf, a report said on The Dock Outfitters' website. Baitfish schooled the water, and the migrations of "bigger fish" should arrive soon in the surf. Those will be striped bass and possibly blues. Diligence and perseverance are the keys to surf fishing. "… just ask any top notch surf angler," it said. Keeper crabs were still trapped from the dock. Anglers on the dock reeled in snapper blues and small blowfish. The Dock Outfitters, located on Barnegat Bay, blocks from the ocean surf, features a bait and tackle shop, a café, a dock for fishing and crabbing, and, in season, boat and jet-ski rentals. A few boats were still available last weekend.
Tuna fishing bagged two yellowfins and released a small bluefin on a trip Saturday to Sunday with Tuna-Tic Sportfishing, Capt. Mike said. So tuna fishing wasn't very good, and the trip fished from Hudson Canyon to South Toms Canyon. But mahi mahi fishing was great. The anglers loaded up on a bunch of them. A good number of the mahi were big, too. The mahi weighed 5 to 20 pounds. Tuna fishing also wasn't good inshore. The trip fished inshore at eight humpback whales feeding on sand eels. But no tuna bit. Another trip was slated to fish for tuna this week on Wednesday, but Mike postponed that fishing to wait for a better bite. The tuna were chunked, and the mahi were chunked and trolled. Only two other boats seemed to be fishing: one of them a famous offshore charter boat, and another boat that could barely be heard talking with that vessel on the radio.
" target="_blank">Tuna trips, sailing 30 hours, are running once every weekend, and striped bass trips will begin on Nov. 2.
Fishing whacked bluefish, weakfish and false albacore 8 to 10 miles from shore along bottom on bait on the Stray Cat, Capt. Mike said. Lots of blues, 3-pound "eaters." All of these species held along bottom. None of the blues or albies could be trolled along the water surface. Trips drifted a little away from wrecks, avoiding out-of-season sea bass on the wrecks, to catch. The water surface was 72 degrees. The weaks were offshore of Ocean City Reef in 70 feet of water. Charters and open-boat trips are fishing. Sea bass fishing is sold out on Oct. 8, opening day of sea bass season. Then open trips will run for sea bass every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Charters will be available the rest of the week. Fishing will concentrate on striped bass beginning Nov. 20 aboard. Black Friday is available for a charter. Spaces are available on Thanksgiving morning for a 4-hour, open-boat trip for blackfish. A couple of tuna charters were weathered out recently aboard. Mahi mahi still bit in the Cigar area. Triggerfish were around.
Traveling trips to Montauk fished this weekend aboard, said Capt. Joe Hughes from Jersey Cape Guide Service and Sea Isle Bait & Tackle. The fishing was great, and the trip Saturday wrestled-in 45 false albacore and some blues, sea bass and a striped bass with two anglers. The trip Sunday tackled 40 or more albies and some sea bass with the same two anglers and another angler. They caught on Albie Snax, metal and flies. See the traveling charters webpage on Jersey Cape's website. The trips from Montauk fish through mid-October for the migrations of stripers, blues and albies each year. Afterward, Jersey Cape will fish from Sea Isle for albies and sea bass, until homing in on the migrations of large stripers and blues beginning in mid-November from that home port. Currently, trips can also fish for smaller, resident stripers on the back bay from Sea Isle. Keep up with Joe's fishing on Jersey Cape's Blog.
The season's first couple of trips for striped bass are slated for mid-November with Fins and Feathers Outfitters, Capt. Jim said. That'll be fishing for the migration on the ocean. Jim last weekend visited his lodge in upstate New York, where guests fish the migration of salmon on the Salmon River this time of year. He fished for the salmon himself Friday and Saturday, banking two on Friday. On Saturday, he lit into none in 3 hours of fishing. But a ton of salmon are filling the river from the ball park to downstream. The migration will probably continue until mid-October. The river ran at 375 cubic feet per second in dry weather. That was interesting, because rain's been hammering Pennsylvania. The next two weekends are booked, and dates are booked on-and-off afterward for the lodge. Room is available, and a discount is available, but only on Airbnb. Jim is also currently guiding dove hunting in Pennsylvania. He'll guide duck hunting beginning in late November from Pennsylvania and starting around Thanksgiving from New Jersey.
Sea bass fishing will begin on Oct. 8, opening day of sea bass season, on the Heavy Hitter, Capt. George said. When striped bass fishing begins later this fall aboard, the boat will sail from a slip in Atlantic City. That's been close to good fishing for them in recent years. Currently, trips could fish for bluefish or catches like triggerfish on the ocean. Lots of mahi mahi swam offshore canyons. Not many tuna did.

Top 10 Cheap Cars That Make You Look Rich
As they say, fake it till you make it! Own these branded cars, which are regarded as status symbols and appear Richer than you are.
in Listicles
Since the early 1920s, automobiles have been a symbol of wealth and status. Only the wealthy could afford vehicles when they initially became available to the general population. Automobiles were uncommon back then, and those who drove them were thought to be the wealthiest people in town.
Even though much has changed in the last century with cars, there is still a sense of prosperity and status associated with them. The luxury car market, which is defined as a vehicle that goes above and beyond the fundamentals, is incredible.
Luxury automobiles are often associated with the wealthy and famous, although this is not always the case. If you've always wanted to drive a Beamer or a Porsche about town but thought it was beyond your price range, think again. Purchasing a pre-owned luxury vehicle might be a game-changer.
Here are five luxurious cars that you can afford:
1. 2002 Maserati Spyder
2. 2005 Jaguar S – Type R
3. Porsche Boxster
4. Rolls Royce Silver Spirit
5. 2000 BMW M5
6. Vaydor G35
7. 2007 Nissan 350Z
8. Tesla Model S
9. Chevrolet Corvette
Maserati's ten-year hiatus from the US market came to an end with the 2002 Spyder. Since its introduction in the United States, the two-seat convertible roadster has maintained its power status, but its price has dropped dramatically.
A used 2002 Maserati Spyder can readily be found for under $20,000.
Maserati, as a well-known Italian brand, added touches of Italian flair to the Spyder, such as exquisite leather and a sleek design. The fully motorized soft top is concealed by a hardcover, contributing to the car's elegant appearance.
Inside, you'll find a premium cockpit with top-of-the-line interior leather upholstery in ten different colors.
It's worth noting that Maserati only produced a few hundred Spyders. If you can find one, they're a great luxury vehicle at a reasonable price.
To us, it's an undeniable fact that all modern Jaguars look fantastic. The S-Type is a notchback executive saloon that debuted at the 1998 Birmingham Motor Show.
From 1999 until 2008, the vehicle was built. Jaguar's 1963-68 S-Type nameplate was reintroduced with the S-Type.
The 2005 model automobile had a facelift, and you may get one for a reasonable price starting this year. The Type 4.2 Supercharged V8 in the 2002 S-Type was praised for making it the world's quickest road production saloon car at the time.
The 2005 model included reworked front and back aprons, a new aluminum hood, and a new 2.7-liter V6 diesel engine.
The Boxster, another fun-filled convertible on our list, can be obtained second-hand for roughly £5,000, which is a bargain.
Not only do you get to keep a pair of Porsche keys in your pocket, but you also get to drive a stunning convertible that, as the can industry puts it, "puts the pleasure back in driving."
What better way to appear wealthy than to purchase a convertible automobile with a gleaming Porsche badge?
To the untrained eye, a Porsche is a Porsche. You may own a 2005-2006 987-generation Porsche Boxster with little miles and be considered a Porsche owner like any other by yourself and many others.
It may seem unlikely that you could be practically broke and still possess a Rolls-Royce, but it is possible. From 1980 through 1999, Rolls-Royce produced the Silver Spirit, an attractive full-size luxury vehicle.
At the same time, the Silver Spur, a long-wheelbase variant of the automobile, was introduced, and it was the first to include the retractable Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament.
Between 1980 and 1989, the first generation Silver Spirit, known as the Mark I, was produced. The engine was a 6.75-liter L410 V8 with a THM 300 3-speed automated transmission.
Even today, it's a car that radiates class, and you can obtain one for a reasonable price. We've spotted several '80s models for under $20,000, including a black '82 with only 72,000 miles on Car Gurus for $9,900.
The BMW M5 is a sports sedan that is part of BMW's 5 Series executive automobile line. The first M5 was hand-built in 1985 and included a tuned-up M1 engine, making it the quickest production sedan on the market at the time.
These automobiles are still manufactured today, although with a different design approach.
The E39 M5 is a product of the third generation, which ran from 1998 to 2003. It possessed a 394 horsepower S62 V8 engine and a Getrag type D 6-speed manual transmission, giving it a substantial power boost.
Most BMWs of this make and model cost upwards of $30,000, but there are a few on AutoTrader for under $20,000, and even less if higher mileage isn't a concern.
On the surface, the Vaydor G35 appears to be too wonderful to be true. The Vaydor G35 is an Infiniti G35 with the Vaydor body package installed.
While the Vaydor kit will have heads turning, the Infiniti G35's dependability is what makes it such a good buy. A 280-horsepower V6 engine, rear-wheel drive, and an available six-speed close-ratio manual transmission are among the appealing characteristics.
Ideal Media
The Vaydor G35 is a one-of-a-kind beauty. The Joker drove a bubblegum pink Vayder G35 in Suicide Squad; thus, it's a true movie star automobile.
Purchasing the Infiniti G35 and the package separately is unquestionably the most cost-effective option.
The Nissan 350Z (or Nissan Fairlady Z in Japan) is a fast two-seater sports car that was produced as a coupe from 2002 to 2009 and as a roadster from 2004 to 2009. Nissan's Z-car range is now in its fifth generation.
CarBuzz
The VQ35DE V6 engine in the 2007 350Z was replaced with a VQ35HR V6 that produced 306 horsepower with an SAE-certified power benchmark. At 7500 rpm, it reaches its redline.
The Nissan 350Z is a real head-turner, and you can acquire a 2007 model that appears a lot younger than it is. On Car Gurus and similar sites, there are a number of 350Zs for sale.
It's hard to believe that the Model S could have ended up on one of our lists, given how tough it was to obtain when it first came out. Nonetheless, here it is.
Used Teslas turn out to be quite affordable. And, even though they are the "future of luxury," they will depreciate just like every other luxury alternative.
We were able to locate one for roughly $27,000. Roll up in it and tell folks you work with computers, and no one on the planet will doubt you're a computer genius.
Don't want to give up your petrol for the time being? We can't say we blame you. We enjoy doing things the old-fashioned way as well, which is why we can personally advocate purchasing a Chevrolet Corvette.
We could have included a Dodge Viper or a current Corvette because they're both reasonably priced for what they are, but we couldn't leave out this stunning 1960 Corvette.
True, it's getting more expensive, but it's still in the realm of "rich looking" without truly being "rich." The Corvette has been around since 1953, and we've seen a lot of different body types and designs in that time.
This, on the other hand, is a C1 first-generation Corvette, which was released in 1953 and went out of production in 1962. It's a classic version of an already classic vehicle.
It will be recognized by auto fans wherever you go, and it will turn even the most inexperienced car enthusiasts' heads.
2002 Bentley Arnage
Bentley makes a second appearance on a list that you would not have expected them to feature on at all, this time with the Arnage. From 1998 to 2009, the Arnage was a massive luxury vehicle that was produced. This was one of two cars that marked the company's first new designs since 1980 at the time. The Silver Seraph was the other.
A new engine was also installed in the Arnage. Instead of the traditional 6.75-liter V8, a 4.4-liter twin-turbo BMW V8 was installed. With 354 horsepower, it was the world's fastest and most powerful four-door saloon for a limited period of time.

Facebook Kills Misleading Election Ads, Cites Intellectual Property Reasons
Intellectual Property RightsNews December 5, 2019
Over the weekend, Facebook (FB) banned a British election ad from the Conservative Party after the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) complained that the footage distorted its journalism.
However, it was just for business reasons that had nothing to do with freedom of speech – Intellectual property Rights.
The BBC complained that the fifteen seconds ad in question includes a video from the Conservative Party that used news clips from it and could damage the perceptions of its impartiality.
CNN business, a financial information and news website, reported that the ad in question showed clips of BBC journalists saying things such as 'pointless delay to Brexit' beside a montage of protest footage and discussions in parliament, set to dramatic music. But, the clips were from journalists quoting statements of politicians, including Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is going to campaign in the December 12 election with the slogan 'get Brexit done.'
According to Facebook's ad library, the ad started on 28th November 2019 had been viewed around 430,000 times for a cost of about $12,930 till December 1 when it was replaced with the below message provided in the library:
"This ad was taken down as it goes against Facebook's Intellectual Property (IP) policies."
The BBC said that they first asked the Conservative Party to take the ad down, but the party declined. Hence, they approached FB, which banned it.
Facebook said that it was a valid IP claim from the rights holder, i.e., the BBC, as the Conservative Party had used its footage without permission.
Facebook's spokesperson added that whenever they receive valid IP claims against any content on their platform, whether in advertisements or elsewhere, they take the required action according to their policies.
As per Facebook's advertising policies, ads must never contain content that violates or infringes on the rights of others, including copyright, trademark, and other personal or proprietary rights.
Well, the social media giant's policy on the election or political ads has received severe criticism worldwide. The United Kingdom (UK) imposes rules on how broadcasters can report on political biases, especially around elections. As newspapers hold the freedom to impart politics, broadcasters should be impartial. Since the BBC is publicly funded, it often faces intense scrutiny.
The analysis prompted Twitter to announce that it would limit political ads in the upcoming month.
Facebook, rather than addressing the BBC's claim that its materials had been used misleadingly, stuck to the legal arguments.
If we talk about the Conservative Party, it did not respond to CNN's request for comment but announced that all political parties use BBC's content. The Party added that it would ask the BBC if they, in the interests of fairness, intend to complain against other political parties that are using their content.

India-Japan free trade pact by year-end: PM news
India hopes to conclude a free trade agreement with Japan by the end of this year, prime minister Manmohan Singh who is on a visit to Japan said as he arrived in Tokyo for the Indo-Japanese strategic talks.
The prime minister thanked Japan for backing the India-specific waiver at the meeting of the nuclear suppliers' group and called on Japan to invest in India's nuclear energy market.
Speaking to Japanese journalists before his departure to Japan, the prime minister had said that both India and Japan would both benefit from a free trade agreement. The two countries, however, failed to meet the goal of reaching a trade deal by mid-2008.
"We are very keen that before the year is out we should have an agreement on a comprehensive economic partnership," Singh said in the interview.
"There are great complementarities between the economies of the two countries," Singh said.
FTA talks between the two countries have been bogged down on the issue of tariffs and Japan's tight regulations on Indian generic drugs.
Manmohan Singh and his Japanese counterpart Taro Aso, a conservative who has long advocated building relations with India, are expected to sign an agreement for Japanese loan to fund the 1,468-km rail corridor between New Delhi and Mumbai.
Japan is expected to provide a $4.5 billion (450 billion yen) loan - the biggest-ever amount Tokyo has provided for an overseas project – for the ambitious infrastructure project.
Industry ministers of the two countries met to discuss the railway project ahead of the summit.
Commerce and industry minister Kamal Nath and his Japanese counterpart, Toshihiro Nikai, also discussed the creation of a fund for future infrastructure construction in India, the official said.
Nath said East Asia should serve as ''a driving force" for global growth in light of financial turmoil in the US and Europe.
Japan, which reluctantly backed the India-US deal on civil nuclear cooperation, is unlikely to sign a similar deal with India, official sources said.

No. 16 Wisconsin beats No. 15 Iowa 79-74
Frank Kaminsky
Sam Dekker
By LUKE MEREDITH - Associated Press - Saturday, February 22, 2014
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The way Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan sees it, the 16th-ranked Badgers are playing better because they're making shots.
They're also making plays - and Frank Kaminsky came up two huge ones to beat No. 15 Iowa on Saturday.
Kaminsky had 21 points and a crucial late steal as Wisconsin won 79-74 for its fifth straight win after a 1-5 stretch marked by poor shooting.
My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell insists Trump will remain president despite election loss, insurrection
Sam Dekker added 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Badgers (22-5, 9-5 Big Ten), who swept the season series and moved a half-game ahead of the Hawkeyes (19-7, 8-5) in the Big Ten standings.
"We like to get into our classroom and in the gym and teach guys things. Show them film, work with them," Ryan said. "Frank is one of those guys that's doing a heck of a job on his learning curve. He's really been pretty sharp."
No one was sharper than Kaminsky in the final 36 seconds.
Josh Oglesby's jumper with 1:01 left put Iowa up 72-71, but Kaminsky answered with a jumper that gave Wisconsin a one-point lead. Kaminsky then stripped Iowa's Roy Devyn Marble under the basket and hit two free throws as the Badgers went up 75-72 with 24.5 seconds left.
"He was trying to make a play, and he presented the ball and I just hit it out of his hands. That's one of those plays where it's kind of up to the (referee) to see what they're going to call. I thought I got it clean," Kaminsky said of the steal. "I'm just happy it came out in our favor."
Marble had 21 points and 11 assists for the Hawkeyes, who lost their third home game in four tries.
Marble could have milked the shot clock down to just over a second on the game's biggest play. He instead attacked the rim and paid for it with a turnover that the Hawkeyes didn't recover from.
"You call a play and then he's got to read it. That's what he did," Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.
This was just the second game in two weeks for Iowa. The Hawkeyes were off ahead of last Saturday's 82-70 win at Penn State, and Tuesday's postponement at Indiana gave the Hawkeyes an extra week off.
After a rather rusty start, Iowa asserted itself in the second half.
Marble hit a 3 and Aaron White followed with a strong drive to the hoop that put the Hawkeyes ahead 62-58 with 6:27 left. The Badgers seemed flummoxed at times by Iowa's zone defense, scoring just 20 points in the first 16 minutes of the second half.
Still, Wisconsin tied it at 66-all with 3:18 left on a three-point play by Nigel Hayes, and freshman Bronson Koenig's jumper put the Badgers ahead 71-70 with 1:21 left.
"He's a good player. You're going to see a lot more of him over the next few years," Ryan said of Koenig, who had a career-high 12 points.
Iowa was forced to make a rare lineup change. Forward Zach McCabe started in place of Melsahn Basabe, who was limited to just a minute because of illness.
Basabe is one of Iowa's top interior defenders, and the Badgers took advantage of his absence early on. Wisconsin hit 12 of its first 16 shots, and Dekker's 3 put the Badgers ahead 34-24.
Wisconsin shot 57 percent from the field in the first half, and Koenig matched his previous career high of 10 points in just 10 minutes as the Badgers led 40-31.
But Wisconsin missed its first six shots after the break and Iowa eventually retook the lead, 52-51, with 10:55 left.
Oglesby matched a season high with 17 points for Iowa. But White was held to just four points, and McCabe's 3-point attempt with less than 20 seconds left and the Hawkeyes down 3 never reached the rim.
"It didn't come out of his hand cleanly, but he was wide open," McCaffery said of McCabe. "I don't think he'll make any excuses."
Kaminsky shares Ryan's assertion that shot-making has keyed Wisconsin's recent surge. But Kaminsky added that the belief that those shots are going to fall has been what's really reinvigorated the Badgers over the past three weeks.
"Having the confidence to step up and take those shots is back. I think we had that at the start of the season. It kind of went away for a little bit, and now I think we have that back," Kaminsky said.

Latvia brands Russia 'state sponsor of terrorism'
The EU member-state's parliament says the move is a response to Moscow's "violence" in Ukraine

Latvia's parliament, the Saeima, designated Russia a 'state sponsor of terrorism' on Thursday, over the conflict in Ukraine.
MPs in the Baltic nation are "recognizing Russia's violence against civilians [in Ukraine] as terrorism and Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism," the parliament announced on its website.
The Saeima has also called upon "other like-minded countries to express the same view," while also urging the EU "to immediately suspend the issuance of tourist and entry visas to Russian and Belarusian citizens."
Rihards Kols, who chairs the parliament's foreign affairs committee, claimed that "Russia has for many years supported and financed terrorist regimes and organizations in various ways – directly and indirectly."
As examples of such actions by Moscow, he mentioned Russia's military assistance to the Syrian government and the alleged downing of the MH-17 flight over eastern Ukraine in 2014, as well as the poisoning of double-agent Sergei Skripal (whose daughter was also poisoned) in the UK in 2018.
EU state's police to stop protecting Russian consulates – media
Western governments, which have been blaming Russia for the two latter incidents, were never able to present any convincing proof of Moscow's alleged involvement in them. Russian officials have been insisting that the country had nothing to do with the Skripal and MH17 affairs, while decrying the accusations as politically motivated.
In September 2015, Russia intervened in Syria at the invitation of the government in Damascus, when almost 70% of the country was in the hands of Islamic State terrorists or other militants often described by Western media as "moderate rebels."
From the start of its military operation in Ukraine, Moscow has been insisting that its forces aren't attacking civilian infrastructure, but only target Ukrainian troops and military infrastructure.
Ukraine scattering mines in Kharkov Region – officials
In late July, the US Senate unanimously approved a non-binding resolution calling upon the country's top diplomat Antony Blinken to designate Russia a sponsor of terrorism. The State Department has so far been reluctant to fulfil the demand of the lawmakers, arguing that the sweeping sanctions that had been imposed on Moscow over the conflict with Kiev were enough already.
Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, citing Kiev's failure to implement the Minsk agreements, designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk special status within the Ukrainian state. The protocols, brokered by Germany and France, were first signed in 2014. Former Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko has since admitted that Kiev's main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and "create powerful armed forces."
In February 2022, the Kremlin recognized the Donbass republics as independent states and demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.

The Leinster team to face the Exeter Chiefs in Saturday's British and Irish Cup clash in Sandy Park (KO: 3pm) has been named.
Speaking ahead of Saturday afternoon's game in Exeter, Leinster centre Eoin O'Malley said that the English side will pose a significant test in their own backyard.
"At this stage of the season we're all dying to play games. Having missed out on a fair bit of rugby over the last year through injury I now feel fit and fresh and it was good to get a game under my belt against Ulster last week. Even though we lost that game, there were positives and we're keen to build on them this week.
"Obviously selection for the Magners League game next week against the Scarlets is a carrot for the players, but we're not looking past this week because we have a lot of respect for Exeter and we have done a lot of video work on them.
"They're going strong and they're a club with big ambitions to become a force in the Guinness Premiership. They're pushing for promotion and it will be a tough game for us but the experience of winning on the road in Plymouth back in November will stand to us and training this week has been sharp.
"There's an awful lot of experience in the mix for selection this week alongside the young, up and coming talent, so each of us wants to stake a claim. There's obviously a huge game in Paris on Saturday, and they're be a lot of close interest in that game, but hopefully we can put in a strong performance ourselves.
"Even though you'd think that it has been a fractured time for those of us who are not involved with the international set-ups, it has been really busy and training has been intense which is how you want it. In the past it would have been a lot quieter with the international games going on, but we're all enjoying being involved in a new structured competition.
Paul O'Donohoe captains a strong team which includes three Ireland internationals in the pack in Trevor Hogan, Malcolm O'Kelly and Mike Ross as well as Girvan Dempsey in the backline.
Shaun Berne starts at inside centre alongside Eoin O'Malley, while in the pack Eoin Sheriff is named in the back-row alongside Paul Ryan and Stephen Keogh. Simon Keogh, Ronan McCormack and Devin Toner are named amongst the replacements.

Q: Global solution for spectral clustering I used spectral clustering for directed graphs suggested by Dengyong Zhou paper to partition the graph.I selected the eigen vectors corresponding to k largest eigen values and then I use kmeans or FCM to partition them.For real data, I don't know the structure or pattern of the graph (the number of clusters, the diameters of the clusters, etc.).When I partition the graph into 2 clusters(by the sign of the eigenvector corresponding to second largest eigenvalue and without using kmeans or FCM) the result seems to be ok (the connections inside the cluster are strong) and it is natural because it is the global optimum, but for more than 2 I don't know how to determine if the result is good or not. Is there any optimum global solution for more than 2 clusters? How can I obtain the best result(with some mathematical reasoning)? any suggestion?
I also ask similar question in math.st
Thanks.

NCAA removes championship games from North Carolina

A Duke University player makes a basket during a game against the Miami Hurricanes. One of Duke's opponents was scheduled to play at the university, located in North Carolina. However, the game was canceled due to controversy over the HB2 law.

September 18, 2016|395 Views
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) decided to withdraw seven championships from North Carolina, including the well-known March Madness basketball tournament, because of a law passed by the North Carolina legislature.
Passed in March of 2016, the law, known as House Bill 2 (HB2), requires transgender people to use the bathroom that corresponds to the sex printed on their birth certificate. Many people, organizations, and companies have condemned HB2 for infringing upon the rights of the LGBT community.
The NCAA released a statement explaining the reasoning behind the relocation of the games, "NCAA championships and events must promote an inclusive atmosphere for all college athletes, coaches, administrators, and fans. Current North Carolina state laws make it challenging to guarantee that host communities can help deliver on that commitment."
The NCAA has received widespread support from notable figures such as Hillary Clinton, who sent out a tweet supporting the organization. However, many are concerned that this political move by the NCAA will have negative consequences for both the organization and North Carolina.
North Carolina Republican Party spokesperson Kami Mueller released a statement saying, "This is so absurd it's almost comical. Perhaps the NCAA should stop with their political peacocking — and instead focus their energies on making sure our nation's collegiate athletes are safe, both on and off the field."
Sports, especially basketball, are an important part of the North Carolina culture. Some people are angry about the NCAA's decision, as it impedes their ability to partake in something they love.
Carlmont student Kazim Haider, a junior, agrees that this ban may be hurting the wrong people.
"I think this is a bad idea because the ban isn't doing anything to the people who need to change their perspective. It is punishing many people who have no opinion on the issue or even disagree with the bill," said Haider.
In addition to the NCAA, various other college basketball teams have canceled games in the state and moved to ban state-sponsored travel to North Carolina.
As controversy continues to rise, both the NCAA and the North Carolina Republican Party stand strong beside their respective decisions.

Researchers identify clotting protein which causes Hepatitis B
Discovery offers 'new hope to patients by paving the way for future therapies that will change the course of hepatitis'
Toronto (July 1, 2003) - A protein molecule that contributes to the severity of chronic viral hepatitis in humans, and which may also be implicated in SARS, has been identified by a team of scientists from Toronto General and St. Michael's Hospitals. This data is published in the July 1 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
The protein, called Fgl2/fibroleukin prothrombinase, is a newly discovered protein which causes blood to clot in the livers of humans with viral hepatitis. In animal trials, this same protein causes blood to clot in the livers of mice that are exposed to the corona virus.
Blood or fibrin clots are the clumps that result from coagulation of the blood, and may cause partial or complete blockage of a blood vessel. This deprives the tissue of normal blood flow and oxygen, resulting in damage or death of the tissue.
Corona viruses are named for their corona-like (halo) appearance in electron micrographs. They account for 50 per cent of all upper respiratory infections in humans, and a mutant form of the virus is a cause of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The virus can be fatal and has been shown to cause liver damage in mice.
The research in this study provides compelling evidence of the role of the clotting protein molecule fgl2 in viral chronic hepatitis, and also raises the question of whether the same protein molecule is also important in SARS infection of human lung tissue.
"This offers new hope to patients by paving the way for future therapies that will change the course of hepatitis," says Dr. Marsden, a Nephrology specialist at St. Michael's Hospital, Professor of Medicine at University of Toronto, and the Keenan Chair of Medical Research at St Michael's Hospital. "Our work represents an innovative new approach to combating viral disease. Therapies to date have focused on getting rid of the virus, but this work points the way to blocking the damage the virus does."
"These studies confirm previous studies in mice of the importance of fgl2 or the clotting protein in viral disease," says Dr. Gary Levy, Medical Director of the Multi-Organ Transplant Program at Toronto General Hospital, University Health Network and Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto. "Antibodies are now being generated to neutralize fgl2 activity which we hope will be useful in treating patients with viral hepatitis, and may be of value to patients with SARS. We are now examining patients with SARS for fgl2 activity and the possible use of neutralizing antibodies for their treatment."
The work originally began in the laboratory of Dr. Gary Levy when his team isolated the protein molecule from the livers of corona virus-infected mice, and found that the molecule has unique and novel clotting aspects. Specifically, the protein is expressed by immune cells only when triggered by the corona virus. Once produced, fgl2 directly cleaves prothrombin to thrombin resulting in a fibrin clot at the site of acute viral infection. The same gene has been identified in humans and in the present article is shown to be triggered by the human virus Hepatitis B, resulting in liver damage. Interestingly, only patients with severe Hepatitis B Virus Infection in contrast to patients with inactive viral infection and normal controls expressed fgl2.
In order to test the effect of the protein on the severity of hepatitis, knock-out mice were created which did not have the gene that produces the clotting protein. These mice were infected with the corona virus and compared to corona virus infected mice that had the gene for the protein. All the mice became infected by the corona virus but only mice which carried the gene became ill and ultimately succumbed to the infection.
In addition to the tests on mice, liver biopsies from 23 patients with severe chronic hepatitis B and 13 patients with minimal chronic hepatitis (36 patients in total) were tested for a link between amounts of the clotting protein and the severity of chronic hepatitis B.
Patients with severe chronic hepatitis B: These patients expressed fgl2 protein in their livers in association with fibrin clots resulting in liver cell death.
Patients with mild chronic hepatitis B: These patients had no evidence of fgl2 expression or clotting within their livers.
Mice with the gene producing clotting protein: These mice experienced blood clotting, and died within four – seven days of hepatitis after being infected with the corona virus. Blood test showed signs of liver inflammation and liver cell death.
Mice without the gene failed to generate blood clotting in response to corona virus infection and 40 per cent of the mice were still alive 14 days after being infected.
A new clotting factor has been found which is important in viral infection;
This clotting protein is important in human hepatitis B as well as in mice where it is triggered by the corona virus. It may therefore have implications for the human corona virus which causes SARS;
The clotting protein is a logical target for molecular manipulation and offers the hope for developing newer treatment approaches for patients with chronic viral hepatitis;
This is the first time that blocking a clotting protein has been thought of in the treatment of hepatitis B; typically hepatitis treatments focus on killing the virus or blocking the growth of the virus;
If we can develop inhibitors of the clotting molecule that work in hepatitis B patients, perhaps the same inhibitors might work in SARS patients.
This work was funded by grants from the Canadian Institute of Health Research, Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, and Dr. Levy is the recipient of the CIHR Novartis Research Chair in Transplantation.

Must be an honor to have twitter certify your trustworthiness.
One way Twitter can monetize is make folks pay for their trustworthiness certification.
Well of course, money obviously buys 'trust' in this day and age.
What you can't earn, one always can buy. Ahem.. if your, of course, good on the moola.

As a Christian, if you had a genuine moral problem with liars, then you wouldn't politically support Trump or any other GOP politician.

As a Christian, if you had a genuine moral problem with liars, then you wouldn't be politically supporting Donald Trump.
I do not support Trump. But he still lies less than Biden ... who only gets away with all his lies because ... we all just assume he can't remember the last thing he said.

Senility is the best defense to maintain 'truthfulness' in one's waning presidential years.
What a racket!
Fair enough. If you have a genuine moral problem with lying politicians, then don't support any of them. Otherwise, it'll make you look like a hypocrite to condemn one political party while you loyally support the other political party. And for the record, it's a really bad witness for a Christian to disparage an elderly person (or anyone else) for their mental or physical health. I seem to recall in the Bible something about loving your neighbor as yourself and loving your enemies, but maybe these biblical commandments don't apply to conservative politics. The latter seems to be the case these days with the Christian Right, especially when Trump is concerned.

Misinformation on the net is a really controversial topic.
The narrative is that a person should believe everything about the official narrative.
Skepticism is what makes us think critically.
If a scientist tells me : "I tell you that horses can fly, and you gotta believe me, because I am a zoologist, while you are not", I will tell him: "Sorry, sir. I can't believe such a thing".
Of course he has the right to say that horses can fly.

Not clandestine. Adding a comment from a clearly identifiable source.
Seems to me like she is saying there should be a "Reply Plus" feature for some users. So their reply would feature prominently under the tweet. It doesn't change the original tweet and people can choose which they find more persuasive.
If handled right might not be a bad idea actually. A limited number of people from across the political spectrum could provide balance to tweets posting under their own name.
They would, in turn, be accountable for their comments and could lose their status if they are abusing it.
Might actually be worth a limited trial. Might work, might be a disaster, but the status quo is hardly working well so it's worth trialing a number of ways to mitigate harm.
The right wing has seized on this as a hobby horse to go along with Biden's following the law by providing baby food to those in US custody when necessary.
More biased scare tactics from the right designed to stir up trouble.

That's what they've been doing for 20 years or more.
The right? yes. From the "swift boat" crap, Obama's birth certificate crap. Hillary gate crap (when the right does much worse) and now Biden crap. 20 years and more of right wing crap.

That can happen when an elderly person is elected to the presidency or to another politician position. It happened with the former president who publicly claimed that the Continental Army 'took over the airports' during the American Revolutionary War.

Kerry was a traitor. Obama's birth certificate is irrelevant. Hillary was and still is corrupt. Biden took money from foreign governments through his son while he was VP. Facts are not on your side.
We should disparage a political choice who is not capable of doing the job.
Biden should never have been elected president regardless of his policy positions.
Fair enough. If you have a genuine moral problem with lying politicians, then don't support any of them. Otherwise, it'll make you look like a hypocrite to condemn one political party while you loyally support the other political party. And for the record, it's a horrible evangelical witness for a Christian to disparage an elderly person (or anyone else) for their mental or physical health. I seem to recall in the Bible something about loving your neighbor as yourself and loving your enemies.
Yes we should love our enemies but I love America more than Biden. I don't despise elderly people.
But Biden should be called out. He's done a lot of harm already as president. And no it's not because he's senile. He's just a bad president.
Besides if he's senile the 25th amendment should be invoked for the good of America. It must be talked about even if unpleasant.
In any case my problem with these liars is not so much moral as it is that they're lying for a reason. Because they're bad and doing harm.
Incorrect.
Reading comprehension problems are on both sides of the political aisle, including a former president who claimed that he was really smart and a "very stable genius" (source) and that he had "one of the greatest memories of all time" (source). In fact, this former president once sent a letter to a retired English teacher about gun policy, which she corrects and sends back to him.
Retired English teacher corrects a letter from Trump and gives him failing grade
What sad excuses to justify such un-Christian behavior.
A cognitive test should be standard for this sensitive position. A senile running a country may prove disastrous. Even worse using a senile as a puppet president.
I'm not aware of any biblical commands about a Christian should their country more than they love their neighbor.
Maybe you can enlighten me.
I think people have a wrong idea of Christainity. Yes we value meekness and being peace makers etc. But when it comes to politics we must speak the truth even if it offends. Otherwise we let evil prevail which is on us.

Q: Is it possible to have schema directives for input parameters? I have already created a hasRole directive. I only want to include certain input parameters if the user has the admin role:
const typeDefs = gql`

  type Article {
    id: ID!
    title: String!
    content: String!
    sponsor: String
  }

  input CreateArticleInput {
     title: String!
     content: String!
     sponsor: String // include if @hasRole(role: "admin")

  type Mutation {
    createArticle(input: CreateArticleInput!): Article!
    publishArticle(articleId: ID!): Boolean! @hasRole(role: "editor")

  }
`

The goal is to provide the sponsor input parameter optionally if the user has the role "admin", otherwise, do not let the user include a "sponsor". I wonder if the native @include or @skip directives can be used in tandem with my custom @hasRole directive to achieve this? ..just a thought.
Is something like this possible? I am not even sure if this is allowed in the input type.

In Memory of Aseel Asleh, killed in the second Intifada, October 2, 2000
Mailed by Jen Marlowe
www.donkeysaddle.org
donkeysaddle@gmail.com
As some of you know, this October marks the ten-year anniversary of `Black October.` As the second Intifada erupted in the West Bank and Gaza, demonstrations also began in Arab villages and towns inside Israel. In October 2000, twelve Palestinian citizens of Israel were killed in these demonstrations by Israeli security forces. The youngest of those killed was a seventeen-year old peace activist named Aseel Asleh. He was killed on October 2, 2000.
Aseel was my camper in Seeds of Peace and my friend. When he was killed, I (along with his many other friends) struggled to know what to do, how to respond. A few things felt clear to me: I wanted to ensure his story would be told, I would do so by writing a play, and the play would be crafted all through people`s real words--Aseel`s words, that he left behind in his emails, his family`s words, his friends.
There is a Field is that play, made entirely of documentary material, the bulk of which came from eight years of interviews with Aseel`s older sister, Nardeen.
And, when I realized that the ten year anniversary of `Black October` was around the corner, I knew that it was time for There is a Field to premiere--not just in one city--but worldwide, as part of a global theatrical action. October`s theatrical action seeks not only to remember Aseel and the other victims, but to make sure that the larger struggles facing Palestinians inside Israel are remembered as well.
Currently, there are 30 readings/performances of There is a Field planned throughout October in 15 different countries, including Palestine, Zimbabwe, North of Ireland, Kenya, Macedonia, France, Mexico, Chile, USA and many more! The script has currently been translated into Arabic, Hebrew, French, Spanish, Russian, Bosnian and Macedonian!
It's not too late to participate in October's Global Theatrical Action!
• Organize a public reading/performance in your community during October 2010.
(There are funds available to help with venue and publicity. Press release and poster/postcards are also available.)
• Organize a "Living Room Reading" in October by inviting friends to your home to read the play aloud together!
`Living Room Readings` are a wonderful and low-maintenance way to participate in October's Global Call to Theatrical Action. It can be as simple as inviting friends to your home to read the play aloud together, followed by a discussion. Or—it can be a step up from that, by scheduling an evening or two to rehearse with a group of 6-9 people, and then inviting a larger group of friends to your home for a more polished `Living Room Reading,` followed by discussion.
• We will be releasing a special video on October 2, the ten year anniversary of Aseel`s death. You can help make sure the video is seen as widely as possible! More information on that coming soon...
• Help spread the word to other theatre artists/activists/concerned people so that as many corners of the globe as possible can participate in October's Global Theatrical Action!
Write to me for more information, to get a copy of the script and to let her know how you plan to participate in October's Call to Theatrical Action!
For more information, please visit our website! Also, make sure to check out our Facebook page!
I hope you will take part in October`s global theatrical action. It can be as simple as emailing me for a copy of the script, inviting a few friends over, reading the play aloud together, and reflecting on what it means that Aseel`s life, along with the lives of so many other innocent people, was brutally shortened before he could achieve his dream of building the kind of world he wanted to live in--one without violence, checkpoints, borders, or IDs. The kind of world we all deserve to live in.

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
            enableUp();
        }
    }

You can see the comment part, When I uncomment Showcaseview cant found those methods so maybe ShowcaseViews missing, anyway I tried to copy and create that class, but still need methods from showcaseview that cant be found.
Help Me.
Update: Ok according the answer below, I have a problem:
mViews = new ShowcaseView(this,
       new ShowcaseView.setOnShowcaseEventListener() {
    @Override
    public void onShowCaseAcknowledged(ShowcaseView showcaseView) {
        Toast.makeText(MultipleShowcaseSampleActivity.this, R.string.dismissed_message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
});
mViews.addView( new ShowcaseView.ItemViewProperties(R.id.image,
        R.string.showcase_image_title,
        R.string.showcase_image_message,
        SHOWCASE_KITTEN_SCALE));
mViews.addView( new ShowcaseView.ItemViewProperties(R.id.buttonLike,
        R.string.showcase_like_title,
        R.string.showcase_like_message,
        SHOWCASE_LIKE_SCALE));
mViews.show();

On new ShowcaseView.setOnShowcaseEventListener() Cannot be resolve to a type
then new ShowcaseView.ItemViewProperties Cannot be resolve to a type too.

A: The library doesn't have any class called ShowCaseViews. It only has a class ShowCaseView.
If you are following this github example you have to have the class given in the link
EDIT Okay let me try and explain classes
There are 2 classes

*

*ShowcaseView (in the library)

*ShowcaseViews (in the example on Github)

You cannot say ShowcaseView.ItemProperties because ShowcaseView doesn't have them. They belong to ShowcaseViews. Hence they cannot be resolved or found.
OnShowcaseEventListener is a whole different class, contained in neither one of these but just exists separately and hence also when you say ShowcaseView.OnShowcaseEventListener it can't be resolved.
Change ShowcaseView.OnShowcaseEventListener to just OnShowcaseEventListener and ShowcaseView.ItemPropertiesto ShowcaseViews.ItemProperties


One of several car dealerships that line East Arapahoe Road in central Centennial, July 5. The city is considering allowing for new dealerships on the major street.
In 2005, the City of Centennial limited several types of development on the Arapahoe Road corridor, which roughly stretches from South Parker Road to South Yosemite Street. It prevented new drive-in or drive-thru restaurants, convenience stores and gas stations, car sales and rental services, and car washes from opening along that road.
After a 2016 vote by city council to lift the restrictions and a petition effort by residents to overturn that vote, the council passed a set of compromise measures in 2017.
Among the new rules were that the restricted types of businesses could open in a redevelopment if part of a "master-planned development," which the city defined as including at least four non-restricted businesses and 50,000 square feet of gross floor area. The exception for master-planned developments existed since 2005, but the new rules allowed it to apply to redevelopment, too.
But car dealerships are the one type of business to which the master-planned development exception did not apply.
A new ordinance passed Aug. 13 allows for new (not used) car dealerships to be approved on a case-by-case basis under conditional-use approval from city council, which is a public-hearing process.
The Arapahoe Road corridor technically stretches from South Parker Road to South Quebec Street, but the restrictions on types of businesses only run between Parker Road and South Yosemite Street, according to the city.
Usually, the Centennial City Council makes decisions without a hitch.
But the council usually isn't considering a change that runs counter to a petition more than 4,000 voters signed.
That choice was whether to allow for new car dealerships on East Arapahoe Road, the city's central business thoroughfare. A split council approved the change in a 5-4 decision Aug. 13, nearly two years after a law that would have allowed more car dealerships — among other businesses — was halted by the petition.
With dozens in the audience, the council heard from a mostly opposed crowd that included several familiar names in Centennial politics.
Of the 11 speakers in the public hearing, three vouched for allowing new dealerships, all of whom had a personal interest in a potential Mercedes-Benz dealership near Arapahoe Road and South Potomac Street. Among them: John Brackney, a former Arapahoe County commissioner and former president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, who said he's "a proud member of Team Rahal." That's the company that owns the property for a potential dealership at 13831 E. Arapahoe Place.
"It will be an attribute to the corridor, not a detriment to it," said Brackney, known as one of the five founders of Centennial who helped organize citizens toward incorporating the city.
Jill Meakins, one of the two residents who brought the petition forth in 2016, said current dealerships are near neighborhoods that have had issues with noise and test drives. Eric Hessinger, with Team Rahal of Centennial Inc., the Pennsylvania-based company pushing to open the dealership, said his policy is not to take test drives through neighborhood streets. Hessinger told the audience the dealership would have desirable design standards, like low lighting to avoid light pollution at night.
But the most animated complaints against dealerships focused on a larger picture: What kinds of businesses could take up space on Arapahoe Road if not for a dealership. Former Mayor Cathy Noon jumped into the fray to argue medical uses would be preferable and that a dealership wouldn't bring the city much tax revenue. Car-sales tax goes to the city where the buyer lives, not to the city where the car is bought.
"Let's not get all excited about the money we'd get from repair and maintenance," Noon said, adding that those transactions at a dealership account for a minor amount of the city's revenue.
Councilmember Carrie Penaloza launched into an uncharacteristically long address opposed to new dealerships, arguing the city should push for more walkable development in a time of change for retail businesses. Penaloza also pushed against allegations that the 2016 petition succeeded because of support by another Mercedes-Benz dealership in Littleton.
Councilmember Ken Lucas raised that specter again after pro-dealership speakers brought it up in the public hearing.
"To continue to say the people have spoken is wrong in my mind," Lucas said.
Mayor Stephanie Piko said the petition's wording was too vague for the general public to understand.
Residents in the public hearing said they'd rather see restaurants or other retail, a concern Councilmember Candace Moon echoed.
But Mike Sutherland, councilmember for District 3, which nearly covers the city between Interstate 25 and South Parker Road — roughly the whole Arapahoe Road corridor — said the city shouldn't "be picking winners and losers." He rationalized the council's 2016 vote to allow more dealerships.
"I have to think that it was probably because … the development outside of auto-related businesses simply had not occurred," Sutherland said.
Only two sites adjacent to Arapahoe Road in the corridor are vacant and at least five acres in size — a requirement for a dealership development — so possible locations for new dealerships are limited, said Derek Holcomb, deputy director of community development for the city.
The ordinance passed over the "no" votes of Penaloza, Maurer, Piko and Councilmember Kathy Turley. Those four voted unsuccessfully in favor of a move to allow citizens to vote on the ordinance in a referendum in the November election. Piko said it would be easier for city staff in light of the possibility of citizens bringing a petition anyway, a move that could require an election likely in March to vote the ordinance up or down.
A petition would have 30 days after the new ordinance was published to submit 4,089 signatures, or roughly 5 percent of Centennial's registered voters. The deadline is 5 p.m. Sept. 17.

Homer's attempts to get the money include finding an insurance company that he can almost fool, and trying a variety of local religious leaders for a large financial gift. Considering Homer is told to stop praying at the hospital, this was not a good episode for all things spiritual and the soul of Homer Simpson. The only thing keeping Homer alive at one point is the promise of a free ham, and that got rescinded as soon as Mr. Burns realized Homer wasn't dead.
The solution, such as it is, is to go to Dr. Nick Riviera, since apparently the family forgot all about him when he advised Lionel Hutz over suing Mr. Burns. That works since Dr. Nick seems to have forgotten the proper way to conduct, well, any surgery at all. He's lucky Lisa is in the observation lounge and she read up on the whole thing.
So, Homer lives. As he explains, he wouldn't die because that only happens to bad people.
Just like the awful Abraham Lincoln, who sold poison milk to school children.
Meanwhile, let us all remember the tragic case of Mr. McCraig, with a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg.
