How Fall Out Boy fell out then fell back in
March 30, 2016 Entertainment, Music
1990s rock band Hootie & The Blowfish is making a comeback
Quentin Tarantino defends Roman Polanski for sex with minor
At 15, during the summer between school years at New Trier High School in Winnetka, Illinois, Joe Trohman hit the road as the bassist for a rock 'n' roll band called Arma Angelus. His mother was cool with it. His dad, a cardiologist, was not.
"But my dad trusted my mum a lot," Trohman says. "She was very into her kids being independent and going off and doing their own thing. She wanted me to be my own person. That was her mantra."
But looking back, Trohman, who today is lead guitarist for the hit band Fall Out Boy, can see the insanity of that parental decision. "I only have a daughter, and she's almost two. The idea of letting her go on tour at 15, as someone that's done it …" he says, in a phone interview.
"I mean, it worked out for me – obviously worked out fine. I don't know. I love my mum."
Trohman, 31, talks just a bit about his mother, who died of a brain tumour last year. ("For some reason, she trusted me early on – and she was right to.") Then he shifts to the reason he was on that tour with Arma Angelus in the first place. He'd become friendly with Pete Wentz, an older New Trier graduate, after meeting at Fireside Bowl and other Chicago-area rock clubs, and Wentz invited him to fill in for a missing bassist.

The duo became the core of Fall Out Boy. They picked up a singer when Trohman visited Borders Books in a Wilmette shopping centre to buy CDs; Trohman's friend asked him about a particular band; Patrick Stump overheard and answered the question himself.
"I liked that he had all this knowledge about music, and I felt the same way, and we just started talking," Trohman says. "My friends got pushed aside for the better part of an hour."
By 2001, the band had added Andrew Hurley, who'd drummed in a well-known metal-and-punk band called Racetraitor, and began to play shows throughout Chicago. They were of a piece with other catchy pop-punk bands forming the foundation of the emo scene, including Promise Ring and Dashboard Confessional, and Wentz turned out to have a nice touch with bittersweet lyrics.
Soon they were the subject of a record-business bidding war, signing a deal with an independent label, Fueled By Ramen, that eventually led to a lucrative advance from much-bigger Island Records for a proper debut.
By the next album, 2005's From Under The Cork Tree, Fall Out Boy had become known for its upbeat, self-righteous and slightly depressed style. The song titles are small classics: Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued, Champagne For My Real Friends, Real Pain For My Sham Friends, Nobody Puts Baby In A Corner.
Thanks to smash hits such as Sugar We're Going Down and Dance, Dance, the band sold millions of albums. Although Stump was the front man, Wentz emerged as the celebrity, with his multicoloured floppy haircuts and high-profile dating habits – he married pop star Ashlee Simpson, but they divorced in 2011.
But after recording 2008's Folie a Deux, the band took an extended break, retreating into other projects like Stump's solo album, Trohman's hard-rock band Damned Things and Wentz's electronic band Black Cards. The hiatus lasted until Stump and Trohman had a long phone conversation, which begat an eight-hour band meeting in 2012.
"We did air a lot of dirty laundry. I remember there was a lot of conversation about how not to talk over each other," Trohman recalls of the meeting, moderated by the band's longtime managers.
"There were a lot of issues. The good thing was everyone was really into working those issues out. It only worked because we did not get together for four years. People got it out of their system – projects and bands, things we needed to do to grow. Then we were able to get together and have a conversation where there was some fighting and apologizing and agreeing and disagreeing, but we were on the same page."
The meeting worked. In a time when rock bands rarely sell records, let alone make comebacks, Fall Out Boy returned in 2013 with the No. 1 single My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light 'Em Up) and, last year, an even bigger hit, Uma Thurman. (Their latest video, for Irresistible, is an 'NSync spoof starring members of the defunct hit boy band as well as pop star Demi Lovato, who adds backing vocals.)
"I thought we might get together and have a fan base we'd perform in front of," Trohman says. "There was a bit of rolling the dice … 'What are we going to do? Is it going to work?' Just kind of hope for the best. It actually turned out 1,000 times better." – Chicago Tribune/Tribune News Service/Steve Knopper

Dairy production is the principal cause of environmental issues in the world, according to Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed, founding chairman of KBW Ventures and KBW Investments.
Known for his vegan lifestyle, and vocal campaigner on the benefits of veganism, Prince Khaled told a Dubai audience of the harmful effect that dairy farming was having in producing greenhouse gases.
"There's something that really does skip people's minds when we talk about the environment. I'd love everyone to take their actions into consideration when thinking of the environment - and I'm not talking about buying the next [Toyota] Prius, or the next Tesla, or opening up a few solar farms," Prince Khaled told the audience at this year's CEO Middle East awards at Dubai's Rixos Premium, JBR.
"The number one contributor to global warming is factory farming. Greenhouse gases from animal agriculture contributes more to global warming than all the auto industry put together," he added.
"Reducing eating meat, fish, and the root of all that is evil in my opinion, and many others, dairy from your diet will contribute more to your and to the environment than you could ever imagine," he said.
But Prince Khaled is also a canny businessman. As the founder and CEO of KBW Ventures, he is in talks to bring vegan F&B chain Plant Power Fast Food to the Middle East region.
Prince Khaled has signed a deal with Plant Power Fast Food to bring the popular restaurant chain to the region. He has also partnered with Californian plant-based chef Matthew Kenney to change the hospitality and food service industry on a global scale.
The plan involves introducing vegan options on menus in restaurants around the world through the partnership created by Prince Khaled's KBW Ventures and Matthew Kenney called Folia.
"The appeal of plant-based cuisine has never been stronger," said Prince Khaled. "My partnership with Matthew Kenney for this new menu at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills is just the beginning.
In this edition of Inside AB, Shruthi Nair and Jeremy Lawrence take a look at the vegan revolution that is gathering pace around the world, and ask what this means for the F&B sector in this region.

Q: find rows in dataframe that are not NaN python I have a dataframe called CentroidXY and I want to find the indexes of the rows in the column called 'X' that corresponds to numeric values (not NaN). I tried:
foo = CentroidXY.index[CentroidXY['X'] == int].tolist()

However this gives me back no indexes, although my column contains numeric values. Does anyone have any idea on how to do this?

A: You could use:
CentroidXY.index[CentroidXY['X'].notna()]

So, yesterday's day of rest turned out pretty well and mostly accomplished its purpose. My sleep schedule's going to take a few nights of regular sleep to get ironed out, but I think I'll be in a good position at the start of next week.
I'm working today, but it's mostly a "clear out the backlog/catch up necessary stuff that's been piling up". I'm going to try to do my first actual not-direct-political-satire thing since before the election today, at 4:30 (which is when my "write fiction" alarm goes off). Not sure yet what it will be.
The Tales of MU website is back up as of yesterday PM. It will get one update next week to tie off the current story, and then I'm going to take a look at where I am for the next one.


Our next communication is Tuesday April 14, 2015. We are proud to feature three different programs that are always very popular in past years. This communication you will dine an a delicious steak dinner while enjoying the Brotherhood of Freemasonry. Then enjoy the fun and laughter while we analyze each other's "Bad Ties". Finish the evening while relaxing with desert and a little "Trash to Treasure" auction.
We will first enjoy each others Fellowship and Brotherhood over a perfectly cooked Steak Dinner. The steak dinners are always a big hit, mostly due to the outstanding barbecue talents of Bro. John E. Sides include; salad, potatoes, corn on the cob (If available) and desert to follow Closing of the Lodge. Please bring a big appetite and your usual wit. There is plenty of room for everyone, especially those who have not had the opportunity to join us in many week, months, or even years. Please fill out this form to let us know you are coming. CLICK HERE We do not want to run out of steaks.
Another popular and always lots of fun event is our annual "Bad Tie Night". It will be tough to beat last years bad tie winner Bro. Mike T. which, as I remember, used toilet paper as part of his "Bad Tie" creation. While some like to wear their "Bad Ties" every second and fourth Tuesday of the month, others choose to save the worst for one night a year. Dig deep on those drawers, behind the ugly socks and drag out your worse or best Bad Tie! Tie that around your neck as only a Mason can and flaunt your bad taste around the lodge while we all judge each other's bad taste.
Rounding out our trifecta of Masonic fun is the long-awaited, never imitated, often avoided, "One Man's Trash Is Another Man's Treasure Auction"! Please rummage through your basements, attics, and tool sheds to find those treasures you are willing to part with and bring them to the lodge. Word has it that we already have some really nice and fun items waiting to go home to the highest bidders. I can be available on the weekend if anyone wants to drop off their Trash Treasures before Tuesday's communication. Give me a call and we can arrange meeting. Wor:. Breth is so excited he was planning to go to lodge this past Tuesday!! You know Secretaries, they never get enough.
Dress – normal lodge attire. Bad Tie required.
Dinner – Steak cookout, salad, potato, corn on the cob (if available), and dessert.
On April 28, 2015 we are raising our new Brothers to the Third Degree. As you remember from your Raising it is very important to have as many Brothers attend. The events of the evening go much smoother with many taking part and we owe it to our new Brothers to be there for them. PLEASE make every effort to attend not only this Raising but every Lodge communication. We are Brothers and we want to enjoy the few hours we have together each month.


Walter Carr graduated from George W. Carver High School in Birmingham, Alabama. He anticipated joining the U.S. Marines later in the year. However, he needed a summer job. Carr was hired for work at Bellhops Moving Company in Pelham, Alabama. He was enthusiastic about going to his first day of work. However, his car broke down the night before his first shift. Walter lived in the Birmingham suburb of Homewood. The Bellhops Moving Company office where he was hired was about 20 miles south in the outskirts of Pelham, Alabama.
There were no options for public transportation from Homewood to Pelham. So Carr chose to walk overnight from his home to his summer job. He badly needed the work and worried that if he didn't show up on his first day on the job he could be fired. He walked over seven miles to the town of Hoover by 2 a.m. At 3 a.m. he was stopped by Pelham police officer Mark Knighten who asked Carr if everything was okay. By 4 a.m. when Carr had reached the outskirts of Pelham he was stopped again by officer Knighten and fellow officers Klint Rhodes and Carl Perkinson. They learned why Walter Carr was on the road. They checked out his story and treated him to breakfast at Whataburger. Then, the police dropped Carr off at Bellhops Moving Company's front door at 6:30 a.m.
Bellhops Moving CEO Luke Marklin learned about the story when he was tipped off about the Facebook post. He got in his car and drove down from Tennessee to meet Carr to thank him over a coffee. The meeting ended with the CEO giving Walter Carr the keys to his barely-driven 2014 Ford Escape.
"I am honestly blown away by him," Marklin said of Carr. "Everything he did that day is exactly who we are – heart and grit. So far, he's batting 1,000." Carr was blown away himself when Marklin gave him the keys to the Ford Escape. "Seriously?" said Carr.
Why does Mary anoint Jesus with perfume? Why does Judas object? What is Jesus' perspective?
What did Walter Carr do that impressed the Pelham Police, his workmate, Jenny Lamey and the CEO of Bellhops Moving?
Does the generosity Walter Carr received surprise you?
What acts of generosity have caught your attention? What would cause you to offer something to someone else that was costly for you?
God, you place in front of us others who we can be generous to. Help us to notice who is in front of us. Help us to be mindful and thankful of the gift of others who enter our lives. Startle us out of our habits and routines so that we may give praise for Christ in our midst. Amen.

Q: Backbone View not selecting element This is my first time create a view with Backbone, but I'm not able to render changes to an existing element in the document.
var ParamsView = Backbone.View.extend({

    el: $('#node-parameters'),

    initialize: function() {
        console.log('WOW');
    },

    render: function() {
        console.log('doing it');
        console.log(this.$el.length);
        console.log($('#node-parameters').length);
        this.$el.append('hello world!');
        return this;
    }

});

    var v = new ParamsView();
    v->render();

The words hello world! do not appear in the target div.
The console outputs the following when the view is rendered.
WOW
doing it
0
1

So I know that my jQuery selector $('#node-parameters') is finding 1 DOM element, but the view is not use it.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT: In the JS debugger I can see that this.el is undefined for the view.

A: Your code is probably equivalent to this :
var ParamsView = Backbone.View.extend({
    el: $('#node-parameters'),

    initialize: function() {
        console.log('WOW');
    },

    render: function() {
        console.log('doing it');
        console.log(this.$el.length);
        console.log($('#node-parameters').length);
        this.$el.append('hello world!');
        return this;
    }
});

$(document).ready(function() {
    var v = new ParamsView();
    v.render();
});

http://jsfiddle.net/nikoshr/mNprr/
Notice that you class is declared before the DOM ready event.
You set the el at extend time with $('#node-parameters'). $ is a function that is immediately executed but, and that's why you get an undefined element, #node-parameters does not exist at that point.
By injecting the element with new ParamsView({el: '#node-parameters'}), you set a valid el after the DOM ready event. You could also set it via
var ParamsView = Backbone.View.extend({
    el: '#node-parameters'
});

el is then evaluated when you instantiate your class, after the DOM ready event. http://jsfiddle.net/nikoshr/mNprr/1/

The Greek holiday island of Hydra was without electricity on Sunday, leading to water shortages as the authorities and energy company Dedie scrambled to resume the power supply.
Dedie offered its apologies for the electricity outage which began in the small hours of Sunday morning and continued into the evening despite the efforts to re-establish the supply.
The energy company inspected the island's power network "in difficult conditions" -- cars are banned on the island -- as well as underwater cables which bring the supply onto the island, Dedie said in a statement cited by the Greek ANA press agency.
The lack of electricity affected in turn the water supply and a Greek navy vessel was preparing to transfer water to the island, an official told AFP.

Did a Dish Network telemarketer call you? You may be entitled to $1,200
People who received a phone call from the Dish Network may receive $1,200. - photo by Herb Scribner
People who received a phone call from the Dish Network in 2010 or 2011 may be in line for $1,200. Yes, you read that right.
According to USA Today, you may be entitled to $1,200 if your phone number is on the National Do Not Call Registry and you received a call from the television provider.
You can check here to see if youre eligible for the money.
If so, visit this website to file your claim.
There's reportedly an ongoing telemarketing lawsuit against the satellite provider. A recent federal judge ruled the company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act after Thomas Krakauer sued the network for making telemarketing calls to his number even though his number was on the do-not-call list, USA Today reported.
The lawsuit affected more than 18,000 telephone numbers that were called between May 11, 2010, and Aug. 1, 2011.
According to CBS News, the judge originally awarded $400 to each of the people who were called despite being on the register. He tripled the charges once he found out Dish "willfully and knowingly" violated the law.
John W. Barrett, an attorney with Bailey Glasser, told CBS News he's tried to contact people about their eligibility for the $1,200. Many disregard him.
"Talking to them firsthand, I learned that they thought that we were, A, telemarketers, or B, trying to scam them," Barrett said.
He said many people will hang up on him. He hopes more people will answer his call and claim their money.
"We have an obligation to be standing up on the mountaintops shouting about the result that we got in this lawsuit to try to reach the people that need to be reached," he said.
Dish Network reported a 5.9 percent decline in first-quarter revenue this year, losing 94,000 subscribers, according to recent reports. But this is lower than the first quarter of 2017, when the company lost 143,000 subscribers.
The company did add 91,000 users for Sling TV, the subscription TV service it started in 2015.

Tim and I just got back from a quick 2 mile jog, and I just scarfed down some cauliflower. I've never eaten a vegetable so hastily, and I'm glad I had it around to eat instead of something else.
Once the snow melted up here (and even when it came back) I started jogging and wanting to kick off my winter pounds I've been storing. I was doing pretty good for about a month, even worked my way up to be able to jog 4 miles, which I was very proud of! But then before we went to Belize I got sick, and during the mission trip I didn't get much exercise, so I had about a month off from working out.
When we got back I was kinda bummed 'cause that was 3 weeks that I had lost with trying to get into shape. So I wanted to give me a kick start this time around and read something to give me more information on nutrition, so I got the book, The Biggest Loser. The show is amazing, so I looked at their website and was reading information, and instead of printing everything off I figured I might as well buy the book. I'm still reading through it, but the thing I've tried to implement already is eating a lot more fruits and veggies, and more veggies than fruits.
I figured fruits would be easy to eat, and veggies not too bad, but eating more veggies than fruits is something I mentally have to work on. While Tim and I were jogging our second mile and my stomach started to feel empty I started thinking of all the veggies we bought yesterday, and then was wanting some type of dip to go with it…luckily we didn't have any. So we got home and I went straight to the fridge and the phone, for the cauliflower and to ask my Mom how to cut up a head of the stuff. I was really impressed with how good the cauliflower tasted (especially since we don't have dip in the house). I hope it still tastes as good tomorrow when I eat it for a snack and not only after jogging 2 miles.

Today was another action packed day for this merry band of travelers on the great Mother Road! We started our day with a somber tribute to those who were victims of the horrible events on 9/11/2001 – with a moment of silence, tributes, and dedications.
Our first stop, Cadillac Ranch, was only a few miles west of Amarillo and a place I've wanted to visit for years! I was taken aback by it's location and the complete lack of commerciality. For some reason I had expected an attraction similar to others along the route – but it is far from that. Picture a wide open field full of mud and scrubby grass fenced off by barbed wire, with nothing else as far as the eye can see – with a bunch of Cadillacs stuck in the ground on the same angle. It's truly an art piece that is in a constant state of flux because most visitors enjoy bringing cans of spray paint and adding their own "artistic" touches to the cars – an ongoing work in progress that is totally unsupervised! Amazing!
Our group's color this year (they pick a different theme color every year) is green (like "luck o' the Irish green) so people were encouraged to bring green spray paint and quite a few people set about completely turning one car green and then adding the "Ride for the Relay" words to it! Then we all gathered for our last group shot before we reach the end of the rally at the Santa Monica Pier. It was fun!
We had pretty much decided to stay with the group through lunch – it's really cool to pretend that we're bikers (just a bike with four wheels, a roof over it's head, and air conditioning!) – well like I said – fun to pretend! So when we're tooling along at a good clip with these folks we too have that feeling of liberation – sans the wind blowing through our hair/helmets! At one point today we were on Highway #40 (which often shares the same route as #66) and a huge truck pulled between us and them (we were at the back of the pack). As we were attempting to get back behind them, we realized the truck was gaining on them, so there was no way we could tuck in. We started driving in the passing lane next to them, and I thought – "hey, I'm going to grab my camera and get some shots of these folks on their bikes". So we went through about half the group and here's one of ace photographer Judy Royce and her husband on their bike.
Our next stop was the exact midpoint of Route 66 in Adrian, Texas. The sign says it's 1,139 miles to Chicago and 1,139 miles to Los Angeles. Hard to believe it's taken us this long to get only half way! We've commented so many times about the folks in the 30's and 40's that made this journey and how long and arduous it must have been, especially in the hot summer months.
There's a cute little cafe here called of all things "The Midpoint Cafe" that serves something called "ugly pie". I can't imagine why, because at the prompting of all the folks who have done this ride, our arms were twisted into having a piece of pie and a cup of coffee – I had the pecan, tasted the chocolate pecan, and Jen had the apple pie. All were top notch – nothing ugly about them!
Back on the road and very soon – boom – signs welcoming us to New Mexico! Now we are feeling like we've made it to the west. The landscape this morning in Texas was completely flat – but very soon after Adrian, we noticed little gullies forming and next thing you know we're seeing mesas and deeper gullies, and sage brush! I'm always curious about the underlying reasons for these shift changes you see as you move across the county. So fascinating and so beautiful.
My heart was beating faster as we pulled into Tucumcari, New Mexico. I've seen so many pictures of the classic motels and signs in this tiny town, that I have been waiting patiently to finally see with my own eyes. I certainly was not disappointed – however it is really sad to see so many of these great spots have gone out of business and abandoned. It is also evident that there is a movement afoot to keep the spirit alive – enter the proprietors of the Blue Swallow Motel, Kevin and Nancy Mueller. When we first walked up the office was closed, but there were still lots of great photos to be taken – so I was wandering around appreciating all the love that's gone into keeping the place so nice. That's when we bumped into a woman who upon prompting told us she was one of the owners. What a delight she was. She told us that they had only owned it for about three years and had come from Michigan looking for a new life when the economy went south. From all appearances there decision was a good one – lovely office and gift shop – I now am the proud owner of a Blue Swallow Motel t-shirt to add to my growing Route 66 collection.
Typical now of the afternoons on this journey, we were wearing down and decided to forge ahead to our hotel in Santa Rosa to chill a bit and go for a swim. We joined a few of our fellow travelers for an excellent dinner at a vintage Mexican restaurant called Joseph's Bar and Grill. I would highly recommend the Santa Fe Enchiladas with green chile – soulful homemade flavors.
When we walked out the door from dinner we were met with the most dramatic sky I've seen in some time. I grabbed my camera and ran for the nearest neon sign – this is my favorite time of day and I've missed getting more of these kinds of shots.
I hope you enjoy my pics from today's ride – and come along tomorrow for our next installment. How excited am I to be in New Mexico? We're going to Santa Fe and Albuquerque!


To examine, for the first time, whether cyclosporine intake has an early isolated effect on the optic nerve.
This observational case series consisted of 192 eyes of 98 patients treated with cyclosporine. Patient age and duration and dosage of cyclosporine were recorded, and visual acuity, optic nerve function, visual fields, and visual evoked potential (VEP) were tested. Fundus examination was also performed. Patients with glaucoma, vascular retinopathies, and deep amblyopia were excluded.
Mean patient age was 46 years, average duration of treatment was 6 years, and median dosage of cyclosporine was 200 mg daily. VEP was tested in 73 patients (142 eyes) and yielded a delayed P100 wave in 9 (12.32%) (14 eyes). Among these 9 patients, abnormal findings were also noted on the Ishihara colour test in 42.86% of the eyes, and on the visual field test in 64.3% of the eyes. Abnormal VEP showed a significant correlation (p < 0.05) with older age (> 46 years) and a non-significant correlation with longer duration of treatment. Higher abnormal VEP potential was not correlated with higher cyclosporine dose, and there was no correlation between abnormal VEP and blood level of cyclosporine.
Optic neuropathy was significantly associated with older age in cyclosporine-treated patients. A correlation between optic neuropathy with longer duration of cyclosporine treatment was noted but was not statistically significant. We suggest that tests of optic nerve function, including VEP, be a part of the follow-up of patients receiving cyclosporine.
We would like to dedicate this paper to Dr. Lea Averbuch-Heller (1958–2000) who mentored us regarding the possible relationship between systemic cyclosporine treatment and optic neuropathy early in our careers.

April 9, 2015 - Paul Blooms As Clinton Wilts In Colorado, Iowa, Virginia, Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll Finds
COLORADO: Paul 44 - Clinton 41
IOWA: Paul 43 - Clinton 42
VIRGINIA: Clinton 47 - Paul 43
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's lead is wilting against leading Republican presidential candidates in three critical swing states, Colorado, Iowa and Virginia, and she finds herself in a close race with U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky in each state, according to a Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll released today. In head-to-head matchups, every Republican candidate effectively ties her in Colorado and almost all Republicans effectively tie her in Iowa.
Secretary Clinton has lost ground in almost every matchup in Colorado and Iowa since a February 18 Swing State Poll by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University. The Swing State Poll focuses on key states in the presidential election.
One bright spot for Clinton is Virginia, the largest of the three states, where she leads all Republicans, including 47 - 40 percent over Bush, compared to a 42 - 42 percent tie in February.
Voters in each state say Clinton is not honest and trustworthy. Her overall favorability has dropped significantly in Colorado and Iowa, while Virginia is unchanged. Favorability ratings for the Republicans are lackluster, at best.
"These numbers are a boost for U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky as he formally launches his campaign," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
"Ominous for Hillary Clinton is the broad scope of the movement today compared to her showing in Quinnipiac University's mid-February survey. It isn't just one or two Republicans who are stepping up; it's virtually the entire GOP field that is running better against her.
"That's why it is difficult to see Secretary Clinton's slippage as anything other than a further toll on her image from the furor over her e-mail."
"In all three of these states, more, and in Colorado many more, registered voters say she is not honest and trustworthy," Brown added. "Voters do think she is a strong leader - a key metric - but unless she can change the honesty perception, running as a competent but dishonest candidate has serious potential problems."
In the presidential race in Colorado, Paul gets 44 percent to Clinton's 41 percent and other Republicans are effectively tied as well:
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida gets 41 percent to Clinton's 40 percent;
She ties former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee 41 - 41 percent;
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker gets 42 percent to her 41 percent;
Clinton gets 42 percent to 41 percent for U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas;
She gets 41 percent to Bush's 38 percent;
Clinton gets 41 percent to 39 percent for New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie.
Clinton gets a negative 41 - 51 percent favorability, compared to 46 - 47 percent in February. Favorability ratings for the Republicans are:
26 - 23 percent for Walker with 50 percent who don't know enough about him to form an opinion;
Colorado voters say 56 - 38 percent that Clinton is not honest and trustworthy. Her e-mail controversy is "very important" or "somewhat important" as an issue in their vote, 51 percent of voters say, while 49 percent say "not so important" or "not important at all."
The e-mail issue makes them less likely to vote for Clinton, 42 percent of voters say, while 55 percent say it won't affect their vote. Only 34 percent of voters say she's given satisfactory answers on the e-mail issue, while 57 percent say serious questions remain.
But 51 percent of Colorado voters say a Congressional investigation of Clinton's e-mails would be politically motivated.
"Hillary Clinton still has a mountain or two to climb to win the hearts of Coloradans who don't trust her," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. "The e- mail controversy is opening doors to candidates who had little traction as Hillary Clinton gets bad numbers on trust and honesty."
Every Republican is tied or close to Clinton in Iowa:
She gets 41 percent to 39 percent for Christie:
She gets 41 percent to 40 percent for Bush;
Paul at 43 percent to Clinton's 42 percent;
Huckabee ties her 42 - 42 percent;
Clinton edges Walker 44 - 40 percent;
She gets 43 percent to 40 percent against either Rubio or Cruz.
Iowa voters give Clinton a split 45 - 47 percent favorability rating, down from 49 - 40 percent February 18. Favorability ratings for the Republicans are:
24 - 21 percent for Rubio with 54 percent who don't know enough about him;
Iowa voters say 49 - 43 percent that Clinton is not honest and trustworthy. Voters are divided 50 - 49 percent on whether the e-mail scandal is important to their vote. While 37 percent of voters say they are less likely to vote for Clinton because of this issue, 58 percent say it will make no difference in their vote.
Clinton has given satisfactory answers on the e-mail scandal, 34 percent of voters say, but 54 percent say serious questions remain. Voters say 53 - 40 percent that a Congressional investigation of the e-mail scandal would be politically motivated.
"Iowa epitomizes the image of a swing state. When Hillary Clinton is matched against seven of the GOP hopefuls, all of those mythical matchups have a difference of four percentage points or less," Brown said.
Clinton leads Bush 47 - 40 percent in Virginia, compared to a 42 - 42 percent tie February 18, She gets 47 percent to Paul's 43 percent, her closest race in the Old Dominion. In other races:
Clinton tops Christie 46 - 40 percent;
Clinton over Huckabee 48 - 40 percent;
Clinton tops Walker 47 - 40 percent;
She beats Rubio 48 - 40 percent;
Clinton tops Cruz 49 - 39 percent.
The Democrat gets a split 48 - 45 percent favorability rating, compared to 48 - 44 percent in February. Favorability ratings for Republicans are:
26 - 20 percent for Walker with 53 percent who don't know enough about him to form an opinion.
Clinton is not honest and trustworthy, Virginia voters say 52 - 40 percent. Her e-mail scandal is important to their vote, 51 percent of voters say, while 47 percent say it's not so important or not important at all. The e-mail issue makes 39 percent less likely to voter for her, while 56 percent say it makes no difference.
Serious questions about the e-mail scandal remain, 54 percent of voters say, while 38 percent say Clinton has given satisfactory answers. Virginia voters say 51 - 46 percent a Congressional investigation into the e-mail scandal would be politically motivated.
"Of the three states tested, Virginia seems to be the friendliest toward Hillary Clinton, perhaps a continuing reflection of the Old Dominion's leftward drift over the past decade. Only yesterday, it seemed, it was deeply red," Brown said.
From March 29 - April 7 Quinnipiac University surveyed:
894 Colorado voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points;
948 Iowa voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.2 percentage points;
961 Virginia voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.2 percentage points.

Q: (Convolution Integral): What does it mean to have an impulse response before t=0? Context: I am currently learning about convolution integrals as they apply to circuits (LTI specifically, if I understand it correctly.
(For the following, continue under the assumption that \$\theta(t-c)\$ is always used as the Heaviside step function.
Let's say we have a simple step input: \$x(t)=\theta(t-2)\$ (step input, delayed by two seconds.)
But I am provided the impulse response \$h(t)=\theta(t+3)-\theta(t-3)\$
The short version of this question is this: How should I work with an impulse response defined before \$t=0\$ (with regards to convolution)?

Some more details:
The only way I get the same answers is to do it in a way that seems wrong as I understand these concepts.
I understand that to find the output \$y(t)\$, I am interested in the convolution
$$y(t)=x(t)*h(t)\equiv\int_{-\infty}^\infty [x(t)-h(t-\tau)]d\tau$$
$$\equiv\int_{-\infty}^\infty [x(t-\tau)-h(t)]d\tau$$
When I do this using the response as the translated function, I end up with a function that is defined on the boundaries of \$t<-1\$ (no overlap), \$-1\leq t<5\$ (some overlap), and \$5\leq t\$ (full overlap.)
This does not make sense to me, as I am showing output before an input is applied over the period t=\$[-1,1)\$
I also understand that I have the option of utilizing the Laplace transform to solve the convolution.
$$y(t)=x(t)*h(t)\equiv X(s)H(s)$$
(Where X(s) and H(s) are the Laplace transforms of x(t) and h(t), respectively)
This is where things start to confuse me as if I take the Laplace transform of the impulse response, it will include the following step:
$$\mathscr{L}[\theta(t+3)](s)=\int_0^\infty\theta(t+3)e^{-st}dt\equiv\int_0^\infty e^{-st}dt=\frac{1}{s}$$
As \$\theta(t+3)=1\$ over the interval \$[0,\infty)\$.
When you continue on with the product in this way, you get
$$y(t)=(t-2)\theta(t-2)-(t-5)\theta(t-5)$$
If you ignore the one-sided restriction, you get:
$$y(t)=(t+1)\theta(t+1)-(t-5)\theta(t-5)$$
The first appears unrelated, the second perfectly matches the response from earlier (when you ignore that the input starts at \$t=2\$

So my understanding of the 'impulse response' doesn't currently fit with something that is defined before \$t=0\$, and I think that is reflected in the results. I'm trying to figure out what I am missing to understand these cases where I am provided impulse that is provided with a definition such that \$h(t)\neq0\$ for \$t<0\$

GE13 – Writing on the wall
Tags: Bersih, Elections, GE13, Video
History notes that once a dictator is forced out of office he is likely to leave a trail of chaos and anarchy.
Dr Mahathir Mohamad in his 22-year tenure as the fourth prime minister of Malaysia had undoubtedly brought development to the country, but his reign was seriously tainted with wrongdoings that brought many misfortunes upon the people.
In the Umno party elections in 1988, Mahathir resorted to unlawful tactics to win the presidency.
The cheating led to the party being declared an unlawful society by the court and subsequently was deregistered.
The Mahathir team wasted no time and immediately registered a new Umno party.
Legally speaking, the present Umno is a different political party and its philosophy and spirit different from the original Umno founded by our founding fathers in 1946.
But Mahathir despised the old Umno and what it stood for: independence and a democratic system of governance founded on the principles of justice and liberty. As such, he was callous to what happened to the 1946 party.
The new Umno stood for his aspiration, development at any cost and material pursuits. He used Umno Baru and the government machinery as his own personal MPV (multipurpose vehicle).
In the aftermath of the 2004 general election, Mahathir resigned from Umno in protest against the then premier Abdullah Ahmad Badawi whom he blamed for the Umno-BN debacle in the polls.
He even called for the party's top brass to leave the party.
These records proved that Mahathir was not bothered about what would happen to Umno but rather what would happen to him if Umno went bust.
He later – purely for vested interest and in view of the unravelling political uncertainties in the country – rejoined Umno.
Even his so-called Vision 2020 acts as a camouflage for his own personal fulfilment vision.
In this article, I urge the people to reject Mahathir in his attempts to derail the general election.
There are generally two types of dictators.
The first is the one who oppresses his own people and usurps their rights and wealth directly from them to enrich himself and his gang. This will lead to violent responses leading to the overthrow of the dictator and his successors would expose his misdeeds and take remedial steps to improve the system of government.
The second and milder version – which fits Mahathir – is the one who suppresses his own people but siphons off the wealth of the government through the monopoly of public projects to enrich himself and his gang.
Here he doesn't directly take away what belongs to the people. Thus the compulsion for people to rise to protest is weaker. In such a case, the removal of the government would not occur that soon.
Nevertheless, these massive abuses of power, if continued by his successors, will eventually lead to strong responses from the people.
This is proven by the mammoth Bersih 1, 2, 3 rallies in 2007, 2011 and 2012 respectively. Bersih was the people's uprising against government mismanagement.
Hence, the removal of the government of the day is only a matter of time.
Both Mahathir and Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak have read the writing on the wall.
The former wants to tackle the opposition head-on, while the latter prefers to avert such direct confrontation for the reason that he is sitting on the people's time bomb.

On 29 March 2017 the Senate agreed to extend the reporting date for the inquiry from 30 June 2017 to 31 October 2017.
The decision follows a resolution by the committee to seek an extension in order to conduct further hearings for the inquiry.
The Committee Chair, Mr Steve Irons MP said due to the importance of the inquiry and the high volume of evidence still to be heard, the committee agreed to seek an extension.
The closing date for submissions was 18 November 2016 and the committee is not seeking further submissions.

Q: How do I mask the user entry into a text field (i.e a password field) in dat.gui I am using dat.gui in a webapp that needs a userid / password. Like normal webapps, I would like to mask the password to '*******' as the user is typing in the password.
I am aware about the onChange event on a text field that will return me the current value as the text is modified by user; but unable to figure out how to replace the typed-in values to '****''

A: This may be a little late, but the following works pretty well.
var obj = { text: 'Password' };

var passwordField = gui.add(obj, 'text');

var inputElement = passwordField.domElement.firstChild;
var style = getComputedStyle(inputElement, null).cssText;

inputElement.type = "password";
inputElement.style.cssText = style;

COLUMN: Affordable housing recommendations offered to Cape Breton Regional Municipality council
Contributed | Posted: March 18, 2022, 4:25 p.m. | Updated: March 18, 2022, 4:25 p.m. | 6 Min Read
Concerned community members have offered several recommendations to Cape Breton Regional Municipality council as a way of beginning to answer the question at the heart of the Issue Paper, "how can the municipality support affordable housing." STOCK IMAGE - Contributed
(Editor's note: The following article is the second of a two-part affordable housing series which was compiled by several concerned community members. Their names can be found at the end of this article. Part 1 ran March 12 and can be found on SaltWire.com.)
In part one of this series, we outlined the opportunity before Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM) council to assess ways in which the municipality can advance affordable housing in the CBRM (as was raised at the February council meeting by Coun. Gordon MacDonald in his request for an Issue Paper).
We respectfully offer the following recommendations as a way of beginning to answer the question at the heart of the Issue Paper, "how can the municipality support affordable housing."
The first two recommendations urge further dialogue with the affordable housing sector to ensure that the Issue Paper (1) captures what is truly needed and (2) CBRM efforts to support affordable housing can then be focused where they will have the greatest impact:
* Meet with the Affordable Housing and Homelessness Working Group prior to drafting the issue paper to explore with the Working Group which of the municipality's current tools are likely to have a meaningful impact on affordable housing development and which tools the municipality might not yet have but that would have a meaningful impact.
COLUMN: 'Grossly insufficient supply' of afforable housing in Cape Breton Regional Municipality
MEETING OF NON-PROFITS ESSENTIAL
* Convene a meeting of local non-profit affordable housing providers to better understand impediments to affordable housing development. In particular, on which issues should the CBRM be lobbying other levels of government, in a sustained manner, for changes to their affordable housing programs, and to ensure that the responsibility higher levels of government hold for housing are upheld?
* Develop a definition of affordability that is clear and will be required for accessing incentives that the municipality elects to offer and articulate how this will be monitored and enforced; this is of particular importance if the municipality intends to add inclusionary zoning to its toolbox.
* Create an inventory of tax sale properties that include a habitable dwelling; conduct the preliminary investigations (hazardous materials and structural integrity) of the dwellings prior to placing them in the inventory. We appreciate that this would come with costs. Such a bank of existing dwellings, would however, considerably advance the availability of affordable units.
* Where non-profits can already access surplus municipal lands for a reasonable price for affordable housing development, and where affordable housing pressures are likely to increase significantly in the coming years, create a municipally or non-profit owned and managed land trust into which desirable pieces of land are placed for future affordable housing developments, should they not be able to be used for affordable housing developments at the present time.

The issue of affordable housing is one of several – climate change, poverty, population growth, mental health/addictions, unemployment, health care – that will challenge this and other municipalities in the coming years, say advocates who are trying to advance affordable housing opportunities in the CBRM. - Contributed
COLLECT HOUSING DATA
* Begin the process of tracking with the intention of regulating vacation (short-term) rentals in residential dwellings with the understanding that the growth in these kinds of rentals has a detrimental impact on the rental housing rent rates and availability. Proactively begin a municipal plan for balancing the need for both vacation rentals in owner-occupied dwellings and affordable housing in CBRM communities.
* When participating in housing data collection exercises (i.e., the upcoming provincial study of housing needs in municipalities) urge researchers to speak directly with local housing researchers and community groups serving vulnerable populations to ensure that the data they report fully captures our community's experiences of affordable housing on the ground.
* Determine the cash contribution the municipality is willing to make to affordable housing developments. This can be done (currently for non-profits within the MGA) through a direct contribution to capital costs and/or through property tax abatements. This can be a percentage of the total cost of the project (as CMHC does), a capped figure per affordable unit (as Housing NS does), or a value related to the property taxes that CBRM will collect on the property over the next 25 years (i.e., a contribution equal to the first three years of property taxes to be paid).
A cash contribution from the municipality to construction costs or to operating costs by way of reduced property taxes will help to spur the creation of new affordable housing units. The amount and mechanism of the contribution should reflect, as noted above, that affordable housing remains a provincial and federal responsibility (i.e., any contribution from the municipality should be far less than other levels of government contribute).
At the same time, the contribution should be greater than the equivalent of waiving building/permit fees, which represent approximately 0.4 per cent (less than 1 per cent) of total planning, land and capital costs on an affordable housing project. Once determined, this is then the contribution available to all affordable housing developments that meet the municipal definition of affordability.
UPDATES ON SHELTER5 DATA AND WAITLISTS IMPORTANT
* Once each quarter, have staff provide council with an update on shelter data and public housing waitlists so as to keep housing and homelessness top of mind for Council and the community. As new census data on core housing need is released (once every five years), and Point-in-Time and Service-Based counts of the homeless population are available (once every two years), include these in the quarterly updates.
* Join with the United Nations, the federal government, and other state, national and local governments from around the world in declaring that CBRM recognizes housing as a human right.
The issue of affordable housing is one of several – climate change, poverty, population growth, mental health/addictions, unemployment, health care – that will challenge this and other municipalities in the coming years.
These are the issues that define our health, wellbeing, safety, and quality of life. They are the issues that citizens are talking about, calling about, and worrying about. And they are the issues that prospective residents are looking at when considering Cape Breton as a place to live and work.
And yet they are issues that are not the responsibility of municipal governments. Declaring them to be municipal priorities does not make them municipal responsibilities. Rather, it means that we commit to staying with them (lobbying, supporting, consulting, listening, pivoting, negotiating, and lobbying some more) until we achieve the outcomes that we know are possible, and that residents of the CBRM both need and deserve.

Nursing, The Philippines Iloilo
When I read through the student reviews on the Work the World website, I thought they were too good to be true. However, having experienced everything for myself, I can say that everything went above and beyond my expectations.
I really wanted to go to the Philippines because I had worked with lots of Filipino nurses in the UK. I thought it would be interesting to go to their home country to see how different their healthcare system was.
I spent three weeks in a government hospital, in Surgical and Medical ICU, the Emergency Department and the Female Medical ward. Work the World made sure I could visit areas I was interested in and gave me an outline on what to expect in different areas, which helped narrow my options.
The whole hospital environment was very different to the UK. They had a lower staff-to-patient ratio, sometimes as few as two nurses per 50 patients. This was demanding at times, but families often stayed with patients to provide personal care, which relieved some of the burden.
One of the things I found most surprising was just how much the families helped with patient care. The nurses even taught families manual intubation, NG feeding and how to assist with oral medication. Nurses worked so hard there and were amazingly resourceful, which made me really appreciate what we had back in the UK.
"The nurses even taught families manual intubation, NG feeding and how to assist with oral medication.
I learnt so much about nursing in a country with low resources, and I went through a lot of personal development that I was able to apply to everyday life.
I decided to do Work the World's Village Healthcare Experience, which was the highlight of my trip. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was the best experience I have ever had. I felt like I was part of village life.
We went into the local hospital in the morning, and undertook activities in the afternoon like basket weaving, playing with the local children and island hopping. The hospital on the island was much smaller than the one in the city, but still had the same limited resources. I administered IM injections, catheterised patients, and recorded observations.
Iloilo really felt like home whilst we were there, so much so that we would all talk about 'heading home' after our shifts. The food was incredible, and the catering team themselves were amazing and were happy to accommodate any dietary requirements. They cooked a range of Filipino and Western dishes, and there were always plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. The BBQ nights on Thursdays were amazing—there was a different theme each week, and there was karaoke... It was a great way to bond with housemates! I can't overstate how friendly the staff were, they went above and beyond to care for us and became friends.
I was unsure if many students actually went away at weekends, but most students did, and things were super cheap! On my first weekend, I went to Islas de Gigantes, where we island hopped, went jet skiing, banana boating and climbed a mountain. We ate some indigenous Filipino food too.
During the second weekend, we went to Antique, which was an adventure to say the least. We went to the most stunning remote beach I have ever seen (Seco Island, look it up!) The local children's singing group performed for us, we saw amazing waterfalls, and went water tubing. The weekends were action-packed, which I loved! During the third weekend, we went to Boracay—one of the Philippines' most popular tourist destinations. This was a very different weekend as we chilled out by the beach and experienced some of the nightlife. The beach was busy but the atmosphere was incredible.
If you are considering an elective placement abroad, Work the World are the organisation to choose. I was thoroughly supported throughout, and this made the whole experience much easier. My advice to future students; be open minded and learn some of the local language beforehand.
I gained a lot of confidence through the experience. I found that I needed to put myself forward to maximise opportunities. I wasn't afraid to ask to get involved as the staff were so obliging. They appreciated us showing an interest.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff, my housemates and the Filipino friends I made for making this once-in-a-lifetime experience an unforgettable one!
