Pats Embarrass Dolphins, Austin Rivers In Hot Water, Mattingly To Dodgers
October 30th, 2015 | Category: Baseball,nba,nfl,Tom Brady
Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!
In the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots, the Dolphins were red hot coming into the game under their new interim coach Dan Campbell. Everyone was excited to see how they would use their new attitude against their mighty division foe. Unfortunately for the Dolphins, Patriots' coach Bill Belichick is an expert at embarrassing teams in the NFC East, and Thursday night was no different. The Patriots crushed the Dolphins. Tom Brady seemed unstoppable and is playing better now than he was 5 years ago. The Patriots remain unbeaten. New England 36, Miami 7.
In the NBA, the Los Angeles Clippers' Austin Rivers (son of head coach Doc Rivers) is in hot water with the league. In a Tuesday night game against the Sacramento Kings, Rivers lost his temper and flung a seat cushion into the stands. The seat cushion hit a woman in the face, and now Rivers will have to pay a $25,000 fine. Rivers has been a hot head since coming into the league, but this is the year the Clippers really need him to step up. In order to do this, Rivers will have to control his misbehavior. Here is a clip of the cushion throw.
With a travel day for the World Series, all eyes were on a new management hire. The Miami Marlins are hoping to become a fan favorite for sports entertainment in the Miami area. Ever since they changed the name, the logo,and moved to a new stadium, however, they have been pretty awful. The Marlins have some new life now as they hired recently released Don Mattingly from the Dodgers.
Royals Grab Game 2 With Solid Cueto, NBA Roundup, Kill Retires, Watkins Calls Fans Losers
October 29th, 2015 | Category: Baseball,football,Jacob DeGrom,Johnny Cueto,Kobe Bryant,nfl
Game 2 of the World Series between the New York Mets and the Kansas City Royals.
The Royals needed extra innings to win Game 1, and were hoping not to sweat out Game 2. The Mets had their ace Jacob deGrom on the mound, but the Royals had Johnny Cueto — the solid pitcher they brought in from Cincinnati for this exact reason. Given the high pressure situation, Cueto was outstanding. He only gave up 2-hits, and the Royals bats gave him the offensive support he needed. With the Royals up 2-0, the series now heads back to New York for the next 3 games. Kansas City 7, NY Mets 1.
In the NBA, most of the teams tipped off their season Wednesday night. Oklahoma City Thunder new head coach Billy Donovan (formerly at Florida) guided the Thunder to an impressive win over the rebuilt San Antonio Spurs. The new-look Denver Nuggets rolled over a loaded Houston Rockets team in Houston to start the season. In Portland, even though the Blazers lost their star player LaMarcus Aldridge this off-season, they opened up with a bang, crushing the New Orleans Pelicans. Then, late night, Kobe Bryant was back with the Lakers and set a record for playing 20 seasons for the same team. Bryant had 24 points, but the Lakers fell in the end to the Minnesota Timberwolves. OKC 112, San Antonio 106 — Denver 105, Houston 85 — Portland 112, New Orleans 94 — Minnesota 112, LA Lakers 111.
In college football, University of Minnesota coach Jerry Kill has had some serious health problems in the past that have caused him to miss games. On Wednesday it was reported that Kill is suffering more seizures and decided to immediately retire from Minnesota and the game of football. He will now focus on his health, but will be sorely missed by the University. Here is video of his emotional farewell:
Buffalo Bills receiver Sammy Watkins fell into the trap of social media when he responded to a posted photo of him and his daughter at Disney World on his bye week. His fans questioned him missing games due to his injuries. Watkins responded by calling his fans "losers". He also told them to "continue working y'all little jobs for the rest of y'all lives." Not a smart move as Watkins now looks like the bad guy.
Royals Win Game 1, Volquez Loses Father, Bulls Beat Cavs, Mallett Gone
October 28th, 2015 | Category: Baseball,nba,nfl
In a 5 hour World Series matchup (tied for the longest in World Series history), the New York Mets and the Kansas City Royals battled it out in a dramatic first game. The game was close, but the Royals managed to tie it up in the 9th, sending the game to extra innings. In the 14th inning, the Royals loaded the bases, and Eric Hosmer hit a sacrifice fly to right field to drive in the winning run. KC 5, NY Mets 4.
The Royals starting pitcher, Edinson Volquez sadly learned that his father died in the Dominican Republic just after the game was over. Volquez's wife made the decision not to tell him about his father until after the game was over, although due to social media, anyone following the game heard the news as it was widely reported in the early innings. As pitcher Danny Duffy said, "He knows that everyone in this clubhouse has his back. It's terrible, terrible news. It really puts this game in perspective. Whenever Volquez decides to come back, when he's comfortable, — he needs to be with his family right now — but when he comes back, everybody in here will be ready for a hug."
It was opening night in the NBA. LeBron and the Cavs were back in action taking on the Chicago Bulls. The perennial issues for the Bulls is they can never beat LeBron. First the Heat were their issue, and now the Cavs have made it almost impossible for them to ascend out of the East. The Bulls came out strong, however, and held on for the win. The Cavs are the favorites to win, but they are dealing with some injuries — namely their star point guard Kyrie Irving. They need him back if they want to get back to the Finals. Chicago 97, Cleveland 95.
In the NFL, the Houston Texans are going nowhere. They lost their star running back, Arian Foster, for the season on Sunday, and are now looking for answers. One thing is for sure, however, they do not want QB Ryan Mallett as part of their organization's future. The Texans gave Mallett ample chances to win the starting job over Brian Hoyer. Mallett was terrible, but more notably he was lazy. He missed practices, and as I pointed out earlier this week, he missed the team flight to Miami on Sunday. The Texans are fed up and have released Mallett and brought back their former back-up T.J. Yates.
Ravens Down 1-6, World Series Tickets For $1 Mill, NBA Season Debut
The 1-5 Baltimore Ravens desperately needed a win Monday night in their matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The game came down to the wire but thanks to a few unfortunate plays including a blocked field goal and a missed extra point, the Cardinals pulled out the win dropping the Ravens to an embarrassing 1-6 on the season. Arizona 26, Baltimore 18.
The World Series between the NY Mets and the KC Royals begins Tuesday night in Kansas City then returns to Citi Field for game 3 Friday. Tickets are hot items in NY but one fan went a bit too far by trying to sell his tickets on StubHub for $1 million each.
The NBA tips off its 70th season Tuesday night. Many fun story lines to follow: Will the Golden State Warriors repeat their winning season, will Lebron James continue to wow the crowds, and will this be Kobe Bryant's last stand? Should be a fun ride!
Gruden's Code Red, Jags Over Bills In Livestream, Dolphins Overpower Texans, Univ Miami Fires Coach, Royals And Mets World Series
October 26th, 2015 | Category: Baseball,football,nfl,Ryan Tannehill
A few highlights from the Sunday NFL games:
After a disappointing loss last week to the New York Jets, Washington Redskins' coach Jay Gruden channeled Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men" and ordered a "code red" for the game on Sunday against Tampa Bay. The Redskins got into a hole early and had to fight to overcome a 24-0 deficit. QB Kirk Cousins never got rattled and threw for 3 TD's and one running TD to beat the Bucks 31-30.
In the first-ever NFL livestream, the Jacksonville Jaguars blew a huge lead but pulled out the win against the Buffalo Bills in London. The only way to watch the game was on Yahoo. It remains to be seen if we'll see more games in this format. Jaguars 34, Bills 31.
In the most lopsided game of the day, the Miami Dolphins destroyed the Houston Texans. In the first 16 minutes of the game, Dolphins' QB Ryan Tannehill threw for four scores to lead the team to a 35-0 blowout before the first half was even over. Interim coach Dan Campbell remained stoic throughout the game and humbled by the fans chanting his name at the end. Even though the Dolphins finally look like a playoff bound team, there were bad omens before the game for the Texans when former starting QB Ryan Mallet missed the team's chartered flight and had to grab a commercial flight to catch up with the team. Dolphins 44- Texans 26.
In the biggest news out of the college football ranks, the University of Miami fired head coach Al Goldin after the team's worst loss in school history with their 58-0 trouncing by Clemson. Tight ends coach Larry Scott will take over as interim head coach.
The Kansas City Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays to win the ALCS and will now play the New York Mets in the World Series. The first game is Tuesday night in KC.
Seahawks Overpower 49ers, Friday Night ALCS Game
October 23rd, 2015 | Category: Baseball,Colin Kaepernick,nfl
The Seattle Seahawks' defense overpowered the San Francisco 49ers in Thursday night's matchup. 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick was sacked 6 times and couldn't get any momentum going. Win the win, the Seahawks avoid a completely disastrous start to their season and finally have their first road win in 4 games. Seahawks 20- 49ers 3.
In game 6 of the ALCS, the Toronto Blue Jays take on the Kansas City Royals in Kansas City Friday night. The Royals are up 3-2 in the best of seven series and will play the final two games in front of their home crowd (a great advantage in the playoffs).
Jays Force Game 6, Mets Win NLCS Heading To World Series, Hoke Shots At Harbaugh
October 22nd, 2015 | Category: Baseball,Daniel Murphy,football
First up it was Game 5 of the ALCS between the Kansas City Royals and the Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays were expected to dominate this series, but now are fighting for their lives on the brink of elimination. Fortunately for the Jays, they have a very raucous home crowd that wasn't going to allow the Royals to celebrate on their home field. The Blue Jays pulled out to a commanding lead and forced a Game 6 back in Kansas City. Toronto 7, Kansas City 1.
Then, in the NLCS, the New York Mets were going for a sweep of the Chicago Cubs. But Wednesday was "Back To The Future" day, and the Cubs had hope. What does this mean? In the movie "Back To The Future 2", Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) travels to October 21, 2015. The film predicts that the Cubs would win the World Series that year (the newspaper cover McFly looks at says Cubs sweep series). Unfortunately for the Cubs, it was just a movie, as the Mets incredible pitching continued. The Mets looked unstoppable and crushed the Cubs. Oh, and in case you were wondering, Daniel Murphy hit another home-run which is 6 playoff games in a row with a home-run. Mets are now heading back to the World Series for the first time since 2000!!!!!! NY Mets 8, Chicago Cubs 3.
Finally, in some sports gossip, former Michigan coach Brady Hoke is taking shots at new golden boy Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh lost the game to rival Michigan State when the punter fumbled the ball, and Michigan State picked it up and ran for the game winning touchdown as time expired. Hoke said that there was no way HE would have called for a punt. He said he would have put their defense to the test and ran a play. Of course, Hoke isn't in good favor with Michigan, and this was his way of rubbing it in.
Crazy Mets Win Over Cubs, Royals Demolish Blue Jays
October 21st, 2015 | Category: Baseball,Lucas Duda,Michael Conforto,Yoenis Cespedes
It was a crazy NLCS game 3 in Chicago with the NY Mets coming off an impressive 2-0 at home and facing a Cubs team that desperately needed a win. Some of the highlights were the Mets' Daniel Murphy hitting his 5th homer in 5 post season games, Lucas Duda's (nicknamed The Big Lebowski) sacrifice bunt, and a Mets' run (and huge play) brought back because the ball got lost in the Wrigley Field ivy. But the craziest play of the whole night was in the 6th inning when the Mets' Michael Conforto struck out but the catcher fumbled the ball so Conforto ran to first base allowing Yoenis Cespedes to score the winning run for the Mets. In 33 out of 34 times when a baseball team has been up 3-0 in a best-of-seven series, that team has gone on to win. The Mets have never swept a best-of-seven post season series but based on the wackiness of game 3, you never know what will happen. Game 4 is Wednesday night in Chicago. Mets 5, Cubs 2.
In the ALCS, the Kansas City Royals demolished the Toronto Blue Jays in a big 14-2 win to put them up 3-1. The Blue Jays have never recovered from a 3-1 deficit in post-season history. Game 5 is Wednesday afternoon.
Colts Worst Play, Manziel's Spat With Girlfriend, Toronto Wins One, Louisville Escort Parties
October 20th, 2015 | Category: Baseball,Basketball,nfl
In the NFL, all anyone was talking about on Monday was the atrocious special teams play the Indianapolis Colts tried to run against New England. You have to see it for yourself:
Some are calling it the worst play in NFL history. It seemed clear they were going to get destroyed, so why did they snap the ball? Indy Head coach Chuck Pagano, whose job was on the line going into this game, said he stands by the play. Not exactly the best move when both the GM and the owner want to fire you.
In other NFL news, the police released footage of Johnny Manziel's spat with his girlfriend. They were in such a heated argument that the police had to intervene. Apparently there was no physical violence, but Manziel threw the girlfriend's phone out the window.
The ALCS was back in action. The Toronto Blue Jays needed a win to stay alive in this series against the Kansas City Royals. The game was a slug fest, with both teams hitting with ease. In the end, Toronto's bats were just a little stronger, and they got what they needed to grab a win. They now trail 2-1 in the series, and hope to build off this momentum. Toronto 11, Kansas City 8.
Trending in the news is the story of sex parties at Louisville for basketball recruits. Katina Powell, who describes herself as the "Louisville escort" alleged in her recently published book, "Breaking Carinal Rules", former director of basketball operations, Andre McGee paid her to provide escorts and strippers for players and recruits. The big question is whether or not coach Rick Pitino knew about these on-campus sex parties.
Royals And Mets Up 2-0, Mighty Murphy 5th Post Season HR, AZ Loss, Dolphins And Panthers Win, Brady Unbeatable
October 19th, 2015 | Category: Uncategorized
The league championships are in full swing, and these series have been quite lopsided. The Kansas City Royals pulled out to a 2-0 series lead at home, and will hope to continue playing great baseball when the series heads back to Toronto.
In the National League, Mets fans have a lot to cheer about as their pitchers look un-hittable. In Sunday night's matchup against the Cubs, the Mets jumped out to an early lead thanks to rookie pitcher Noah Syndergaard (whom they call Thor, yes the Superhero Thor), and the mighty swing of Daniel Murphy. Murphy has hit 4 home-runs in 4 games. Mets are now up 2-0 on the Chicago Cubs, with the series headed back to Chicago for the next 3 games (if necessary).
In the NFL, it was another wild weekend. The Arizona Cardinals traveled to Pittsburgh on Sunday, and their "dominate" defense was shredded by an aging, hobbling Michael Vick. Arizona couldn't get much going on offense either, and they suffered a loss on the road. Pittsburgh 25, Arizona 13.
In Tennessee, the Titans played host to a down and out Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins fired their coach before their bye week, and this game was their chance to show they were a new team. They did just that. Their defense looked fantastic, and caused fits for Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota. And they got their running game going again behind Lamar Miller. The Dolphins crushed the Titans, and will look to continue this "new look" next week. Miami 38, Tennessee 10.
Then, in Seattle, the Seahawks were on their home turf — one of the most difficult places to play in the NFL. They desperately needed a win to avoid heading into week seven 2-4, but they had to beat the undefeated Carolina Panthers. The Panthers also wanted to prove they were a strong team. The game was close, but the Panthers got the last score and stole a win on the road. Carolina 27, Seattle 23.
And finally, the deflatgate "revenge game" between the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts. Everyone knew Brady would bring his "A" game (although when has Brady not brought his "A" game?). Brady hasn't had a bad game since early last season. He certainly did not disappoint and threw for 312 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Colts' QB, Andrew Luck The Pats are still undefeated, and look unbeatable. New England 34, Indianapolis 27.

Gubernatorial Debate To Go On – Without Incumbent
By Associated Press | November 1, 2018
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Four of the five candidates for governor in New York are set to participate in the last scheduled debate before election day — though Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo isn't expected to show up.
Republican Marc Molinaro, Libertarian Larry Sharpe, independent Stephanie Miner and Green Party nominee Howie Hawkins all plan to participate in Thursday evening's exchange at the College of St. Rose in Albany. The event is sponsored by the League of Women Voters.
Cuomo's campaign said last week he didn't plan to appear. He participated in a single debate last week with Molinaro that was largely focused on downstate issues.
Cuomo is far ahead in the polls.

Demands for answers about what happened to journalist Jamal Khashoggi are increasing, as sources tell The Cipher Brief that the U.S. Administration is trying work out its next moves.
Turkish authorities say Khashoggi, a critic of the Saudi regime, was killed inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul a week ago. The Saudi government is denying any involvement in Khashoggi's disappearance.
Meanwhile, a bi-partisan group of Senators sent a letter to the President on Wednesday asking for an investigation into whether or not sanctions should be imposed on Saudi Arabia, if in fact, the reports of Khashoggi's muder are verified.
Cipher Brief Expert Gary Grappo is a former U.S. ambassador and former Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh. We asked him to comment on Khashoggi's disappearance, and as part of a broader piece on Riyadh, we also asked his thoughts on recent Saudi moves to jail and marginalize clerics, as well as what he sees within the next 12 months on the likely outcome of the Qatar crisis.

New Democracy #3: The Cultural Commons in the City
About the tools, challenges and impact of commoning
In the third evening of the New Democracy series we investigated the potential of the commons to redefine the way we govern our cities.
© Joris van Gennip
The idea of the commons as a piece of pastureland that needs to be physically retaken is out-dated. Tonight showed the various ways in which the city as a commons can play a role to address issues that go well beyond public space. The practice of commoning was proposed as a viable alternative economy and way of decision making. Director of Medialab-Prado Marcos Garcia, assistant professor in New Media Studies Michiel de Lange, and director of the Waag Society Marleen Stikker explained us how.
Tools of commoning
Culture and technology were mentioned as important tools to realize commoning practices in the city. Marcos Garcia explained how this is done at Medialab-Prado in Madrid. In this cultural centre users can propose ideas for projects and develop these in collaboration with other users from different professional backgrounds. Examples of such projects are data visualization of traffic or air pollution in the city, experimental video games, or experimentation with textile and electronics. In these collaborations culture functions as a mediator.
What culture might bring are good questions, rather than answers – Marcos Garcia
By coming together around a certain project, people start collaborating on issues within their neighbourhoods. In this way citizens who were at first not involved in activism on social issues now become more active and developed their own capabilities through the projects that benefit their community. This process is facilitated by simply offering a space, open calls for proposals of collaborative projects, and 'cultural mediators'. These cultural mediators welcome visitors and connect them with the groups, which enables visitors to become collaborators.
Next to culture digital technology plays an important role in the commoning practices. Michiel de Lange emphasized this by elaborating on the Hackable City as a city in which top-down 'smart city' technologies are combined with bottom-up 'smart citizen' initiatives to democratize city making. The research manifesto and design toolkit 'The Hackable City' was written to show how to create such a citizen-centred smart city in which new media technologies are used to organize cities differently.
"The goal is to use the logic of new media technology to make city-making not just the privilege of architects, planners and other professionals, but involve the other 90% of the people who live in cities." – Michiel de Lange
Seen from this perspective the city is a communal resource, which can be appropriated and improved by professionals and citizens alike. An example of the role of new media technology is the 'Self Build Wiki' that was initiated to help the smaller collectives of people who started building their own homes in the Buiksloterham area in Amsterdam. The wiki did not only enable these self-builders to share information, it also helped to make self-building visible as a viable city making practice. However, as the audience also pointed out, it would be too idealistic to perceive the use of new media technology as the means for democratic city making. It is a bit more complicated than that.
Challenges of commoning
One major challenge is the assumed neutrality of technology. Marleen Stikker explained how on one hand digital media and network tools indeed make self-organization and commoning for larger groups more feasible, but how they on the other hand can also create new capitalist models like Uber or Airbnb. This is one of the main challenges of bringing technology into the cultural domain.
"For me technology is culture. It is a cultural artefact. Humans make technologies, in that sense it describes our intentions. For example if you create data, you put your perception of the world in the data" – Marleen Stikker
Technology is therefore also a value based and intentional tool. So to what extent are we in control? More and more the essence of the commons is getting out of sight by technology's appropriation of what is public and private. As Ana Mendéz de Andés, of the city government of Madrid, explains this means that new kinds of enclosures of the commons are now popping up. There is thus a difference between what we perceive the commons to be and the way the 'public' is actually operating.
"The best way to communicate about the commons is to make the commons." – Ana Mendéz de Andés
Thus we need to develop ways in which society can take decisions about collective resources and be more involved in creating the commons themselves. Hettie Politiek, of the city government of Amsterdam, added that the state's perception of itself being a common obstructs citizens' ownership over the commons. If we want to build and work in commons, we need to reformulate who makes up society – and put citizens making decisions about public resources at central stage.
Impact of commoning
"The field of the commons is a good place for experimenting with ways of how to cooperate, how to live together, how to design and build the cities we want to live in." – Marcos Garcia
Most importantly, the commons can be a productive framework of thinking to overcome the above challenges. Michiel de Lange proposed to see commons as a productive frame to try to think differently about the values we work with, to realize where culture originates from and to see we can make decisions ourselves. By formulating alternative values of reciprocity and cooperation, practices of commoning help to experiment with new ways of city making.
Marleen Stikker argued we need economic models based on the commons to scale up solutions. This will generate new ways for judging policies focused on values like reciprocity and cooperation. Using commons makes it possible to distinguish between platform capitalism (Airbnb and Uber) and citizen-based sharing projects. The language of commoning therefore helps to differentiate and illustrate clearly what values we are talking about. The commons brings people together to talk about values in new debates where the demands come from the citizens.

People Who Died: Alvaro 'Acho' Durazo by Mark Beef
Alvaro "Acho" Durazo
In a year where there has been no dearth of death, and one in which my own father escaped his earthly bonds, the one that stands out most for me in fallen comrades of the symphonious sector was that of Alvaro "Acho" Durazo. He was a citizen of Ambos Nogales (meaning on both sides of the border), a larger-than-life character who knew how to wring the best from every moment, a musician who could not be defined by his many varied bands, one of which was Thee Eyes, a very Doors inspired garage band as well as other bands that also contributed people like Isaac Reyes (Lenguas Largas, Shark Pants, Swing Ding Amigos), Levi Reyes (Lenguas Largas, The Cuntifiers, Swing Ding Amigos), and Jimmy Teyechea (Freezing Hands, Swing Ding Amigos) to the musical pantheon that is local to us, which also goes toward his greatest quality, that of being an inspiration, mentor, and tool for kids in a town that didn't offer much else. Ask Sergio Mendoza, John Villa, James Peters about him. He had a jam room stocked with everything you could need to make a joyful noise till the reappearance of the sun, which he did often enough. I and the night shall miss him. He died at home in Nogales on March 21. He was 53.

SCC Comment on Draft Scottish Budget
Commenting on the draft Scottish Budget for 2019 – 20, published today by the Scottish Government, Liz Cameron OBE, Director & Chief Executive, Scottish Chambers of Commerce, said:
"Much weighs on the mind of Scottish business, amongst the midst of Brexit uncertainty and a lack of stability in Westminster. Today's draft Budget announcement by Cabinet Secretary Derek Mackay has responded to many concerns that have been raised by business."
On Business Rates: "The Cabinet Secretary has responded to the calls of Scottish business and announced the scrapping of the out of town levy, which was not practical or plausible. Whilst we recognise this will be kept under review, this is an important signal welcomed by the business community. Maintaining the small business bonus scheme and transitional support for businesses in hospitality, and for office premises in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is a sensible approach. The announcement that the main Uniform Business Rate (UBR) is being kept lower than England is positive, however, the continuation of the 2.6p large business supplement is not good news for larger companies."
On the Appeals System: "We look forward to seeing the intention of Ministers for the much-needed reforms of the appeals systems that will be brought forward in February 2019."
On Scottish Income Tax: "Mr. Mackay's decision to freeze the higher income threshold at £43,430 from April, while the UK threshold increases to £50,000, will mean a divergence between north and south of the border. While it remains difficult to quantify the impact the divergence in income tax will have on attracting talent and skills to Scotland, businesses and employees will look at the net balance of measures presented in today's Budget. We do know the task of retaining and recruiting talent has remained a stubborn economic challenge for businesses, so we will remain alert to the impact of this policy, and others, that have the potential to further exacerbate this challenge."
On Skills: "The demand for skills is a top issue and businesses need to be able to hire people with the right skills at the right time. The Cabinet Secretary has recognised this with continued support for the Further and Higher Education sector, as well as expanding provision for apprenticeships, which continue to provide businesses with high-quality talent."
Town Centres Fund: "The £50m capital fund to support the High Street and Scotland's town centres is a welcome move. We look forward to working with the Scottish Government to understand how this fund will be distributed across Scotland's towns and cities, making sure we support the development of thriving and bustling town centres."
On Fair Work: "With a tightening labour market in Scotland and the UK, we welcome the Government's approach to widen the pool of talent available for Scottish companies, particularly its commitment to supporting women to return to work after a career break. In addition, the Government's commitment to supporting parents to address barriers to work and providing in-work support, will provide a much-needed lifeline to those who want to work, whilst also supporting businesses who hire a diverse workforce."

The principles and history of the Fair Funding Now! campaign are fairly simple.
Every child has a right to a good education, the opportunity to reach their full potential.
That right is not dependent on their background or the circumstances of family.
The role of government is to guarantee that right through an excellent public education system.
The original Gonski review established by the ALP government of Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard proposed a schooling resource standard (SRS) as the MINIMUM funding needed to meet the agreed goals of schooling.
The funding had a base component and additional funding based on six recognised areas of educational disadvantage.
In 2013, the ALP government proposed a needs-based funding model (approximating the Gonski model) to fund every state school to the SRS by 2019.
At the 2013 election, the Liberal Party led by Tony Abbott said it was on a "unity ticket" with the ALP on school funding.
The Liberals had lied, and funding increases stopped after the first four years of a six-year program - $1.9 billion less for public schools over 2018-9 and $17 billion less over a decade.
It was re-jigged with some additional funding by the Turnbull government.
Here's the rub: by 2023, 87 per cent of state schools around the country will not be funded to the SRS, the minimum to meet the agreed goals of schooling for all students.
At the same time, there are numerous private schools that receive more than the SRS for their students from state and federal government funding ALONE. That's right. Before any fees, charitable grants, bequests etc, governments give them more than the minimum, and more than the overwhelming majority of state schools get!
And then, when you think it can't get worse, the Morrison Coalition government finds another $4.6 billion for private schools, and not a cent for state schools.
One would think them shameless, except they feel the need to excuse their largesse to the already privileged by rambling about choice and the "special" role of the federal government with private schools.
Where is funding most needed? In the public schools that are the responsibility of government.
Ken Boston (via Jane Caro) reminds us that 52 per cent of state school students come from below average ICSEA (Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage) backgrounds, compared to 11 per cent of Catholic students and just 5 per cent in independent schools.
If you detect anger in what I have written above, you would be wrong. I have progressed far beyond anger.
There is no apparent means to change the government's mind or policy on education funding, abhorrent as it is.
But if we can't change the government's mind, it's time to change the government!
A federal election will be held by May next year, and it is to that that we should turn our attention.
People still complain about the Union being involved in election campaigns, but this is why we are. The funding to ensure that every child has the opportunity to reach their potential is fundamental to the work of teachers and the Union that represents them. If we are silent, then we are complicit in the appalling injustice that parades itself as the education funding policy of the federal government.
The choice is stark between the current government and its policies and a Labor opposition that is committed to full resourcing in government and has promised to restore that funding if elected.
Are you part of this campaign?
We have been asking members to subscribe to the Fair Funding Now! campaign either as supporters or volunteers at www.fairfundingnow.org.au. If you haven't already, do it now.
The focus is increasingly the next federal election and the opportunity it alone seems to provide for a fair, needs-based funding system and a fair go for every child in a state school.
It will not happen by accident or by magic. It will only happen if we work collectively to achieve it. Which side are you on?

Back to basics: everything you need to know about cookies
According to Digital Trends, as many as 95% of websites use cookies. But, as a B2B professional, do you have a clear understanding of what they are, how they're used, and why they're needed? Let's start at the beginning. Cookies are text files that contain key information — a website name, and a unique user ID. So, if you use cookies on your business website, when a visitor lands, it is downloaded onto their device. Then, when that same visitor returns, their device will check to see if they've been there before — enabling your site to deliver the right information to that visitor. Visitors at different stages of the buyer journey will have different intentions and requirements — cookies help tailor the experience based on this information, among other important functions.
The pros and cons of cookies for B2B websites
Like anything in the world of online data, there are advantages and disadvantages to using cookies on your site.
Let's start with the pros:
Certain cookies are necessary to websites and help them perform vital functions.
They store hordes of valuable data — this can benefit your business and help you provide a better and more relevant on-site experiencefor your visitors.
For the most part, cookies can be seen transparently and deleted with ease.
Now, the cons:
Large quantities of data stored within cookies means they may host personal data, which could enable businesses to identify personal information without visitor consent.
In turn, this could mean that, in some circumstances, cookies are subject to GDPR— which defines consent and the various grounds for processing personal data.
Some consumers are unhappy with the level of highly-targeted advertising content they are displayed through cookies.
It's entirely up to your business as to which kinds of cookies you decide to use on your site — ensuring you follow appropriate regulations at all times.
What does EU legislation say about cookies?
The legislation surrounding cookie use is split between GDPR and the ePrivacy directive — which is due to be replaced by the ePrivacy Regulation, although no date is currently confirmed. It can get a little confusing, especially as the UK expects to see some changes to the regulations in the future. There are several types of cookies and each of them play a different role within your business site. Let's explore some of the most prevalent ones, and how they sit within GDPR and the ePrivacy directive. According to GDPR.eu — a resource for those researching GDPR — they can be broken down into three categories as follows.
1) Duration cookies
Session cookies — expire as soon as a visitor's 'session' ends.
Persistent cookies —remain on your hard drive until they expire or are erased
2) Purpose cookies
Strictly necessary cookies —essential to website function and features, i.e. the ability to store items in an online shopping basket. Usually first-party. No user consent required, but their purpose should be explained.
Preference cookies— enable your site to remember visitors' past choices, such as language preference and login details
Statistics cookies — collect anonymous and unidentifiable visitor behavior insight, such as page visits and link clicks with an aim to improve website functions
Marketing cookies — track online activity to increase relevance of advert content and can share information with other organizations
3) Provenance cookies
First-party cookies— placed onto a visitor's device directly from your website
Third-party cookies — placed onto a visitor's device by an advertiser or analytics tool
Where does cookie consent come in?
According to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the basic rules are: "tell people the cookies are there; explain what the cookies are doing and why; and get the person's consent to store a cookie on their device."
When using a cookie on a website, the business operating the site must allow visitors the option of accepting or declining the use of cookies. They must also inform the visitor what cookies are being used and why. This is usually carried out in the form of a banner or small pop up box at the point of entry to the website, letting the visitor know that cookies are being used, offering an accept or decline option and providing a link to read more about the cookies used on a separate section of the website. Transparency not only helps ensure you have the right processes in place, but also builds trust in visitors that are sceptical about how their data is used online.

May 5, 2015 May 5, 2015 admin Leave a comment
Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) has issued the guidelines on 20th January 2015 through circular No. 207/07/2014-CX-6 for issue of summons in Central Excise and Service Tax matters. As per Section 14 of Central Excise Act, 1944, summons can be used in an inquiry for recording statements or for collecting evidence/ documents. Summons can be issued by Superintendents or higher authority but only after taking prior permission of Assistant Commissioner or higher authority with reasons of summons recorded in writing. In case not able get written permission then telephonic permission is required & same should be reduced to writing and intimated to the officer. The officer issuing summons should submit a report or should record a brief of the proceedings in the case file and submit the same to the officer who had authorised the issue of summons. senior management officials such as CEO, CFO, General Managers of a large company or a PSU should not generally be issued summons at the first instance. They should be summoned only when there are indications in the investigation of their involvement in the decision making process which led to loss of revenue. Instruction has also been issued vide F. No. 137/39/2007-CX.4 dated 26.2.2007 in Service Tax matters. Board has already issued a circular vide F. No 208/122/89-CX.6 dated 13.10.1989 in respect of Central Excise
No. 207/07/2014-CX-6
Central Board of Excise and Customs
New Delhi, the 20th January, 2015
Principal Chief / Chief Commissioners of Central Excise (All),
Principal Chief / Chief Commissioners of Central Excise of Central Excise & Service Tax (All),
Sub: Instructions regarding issue of summons in Central Excise and Service Tax matters – reg.
Madam/Sir,
It has been brought to the notice of the Board that in some instances, the summons under Section 14 of the Central Excise Act, 1944 have been issued by the field formations to the top senior officials of the companies in a routine manner to call for material evidence/ documents. Besides, summons have been issued to enforce recovery of dues, which are under dispute. As per Section 14 of Central Excise Act, 1944, summons can be used in an inquiry for recording statements or for collecting evidence/ documents. While the evidentiary value of securing documentary and oral evidence under the said legal provision can hardly be over emphasized, nevertheless, it is desirable that summons need not always be issued when a simple letter, politely worded, can also serve the purpose of securing documents relevant to investigation. It is emphasized that the use of summons be made only as a last resort when it is absolutely required.
On this issue, Board has already issued a circular vide F. No 208/122/89-CX.6 dated 13.10.1989 in respect of Central Excise. Instruction has also been issued vide F. No. 137/39/2007-CX.4 dated 26.2.2007 in Service Tax matters.
The following guidelines are being issued to be followed in both Central Excise and Service Tax matters:–
(i) Power to issue summons are generally exercised by Superintendents, though higher officers also issue summons. Summons by Superintendents should be issued after obtaining prior written permission from an officer not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner with the reasons for issuance of summons to be recorded in writing;
(ii) where for operational reasons it is not possible to obtain such prior written permission, oral/telephonic permission from such officer must be obtained and the same should be reduced to writing and intimated to the officer according such permission at the earliest opportunity;
(iii) In all cases, where summons are issued, the officer issuing summons should submit a report or should record a brief of the proceedings in the case file and submit the same to the officer who had authorised the issue of summons.
Further, senior management officials such as CEO, CFO, General Managers of a large company or a PSU should not generally be issued summons at the first instance. They should be summoned only when there are indications in the investigation of their involvement in the decision making process which led to loss of revenue.
These instructions may be brought to the notice of all the field officers for strict compliance. Non observance of the instructions will be viewed seriously. Hindi version would follow.

Paul D. Miller (DJ Spooky) to present a talk and concert in conjunction with "Ice Music" exhibition
Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky, will present a talk, "Sound Unbound," at 4:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11, in Convocation Hall. He will perform his multimedia concert Arctic Rhythms at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12, in Guerry Auditorium as part of the Sewanee Performing Arts Series. His multimedia exhibition "Ice Music" is on view at the University Art Gallery through October 18.
Inspired by his voyages to the Antarctic and Arctic, in "Ice Music" Miller remixes data of all kinds to forge connections between science, music, art, history, politics, and film in a creative response to the urgent environmental and political challenges of climate change. The exhibition and Friday's talk are free and open to the public.
Originally commissioned by National Geographic, and inspired by a Sierra Club Aichilik rafting journey, Arctic Rhythms is part of a suite of music for the Arctic and Antarctica. It illuminates the environmental issues faced by the Arctic Circle through an evocative multimedia trip to the Arctic landscape, juxtaposing images with live and recorded hip-hop, electronic, and minimalist music to create an unforgettable experience.
The audience will experience the Arctic as never before through the eclectic artistry of composer, author, musician, and National Geographic 2014 Emerging Explorer Paul D. Miller. Long a legend in the hip-hop world as a master turntablist, Miller is a sonic artist who hears music in almost everything, from visual forms and economic theory to the great outdoors.

DAVAO CITY – The City Transportation and Traffic Management Office (CTTMO) is requesting additional personnel to manage traffic in some districts here.
CTTMO Chief Rodelio Poliquit said that they did not deploy traffic enforcers in the second and third districts because they lack personnel.
"I did not deploy personnel in Toril area, Calinan, Mintal, Tibungco and Panacan. As a traffic manager, you need to comply the 3E's of traffic which is to educate, engineer and to enforce," Poliquit said.
He added that he is not effective in those areas saying he only assign his personnel to enforce without complying the first two requirements. He blamed the lack of personnel for this shortfall.
"I am really not effective in those areas. Toril has to have its own satellite area and personnel which will educate, engineer and will enforce," he added.
Poliquit clarified that they have no plans in providing firearms to their personnel following the death of one of their members after being shot on Monday by two unidentified gunmen.
He however said that they have plans on how to ensure the safety of their personnel, but providing them firearms is not on the list.
The Human Resource Management Office chief, Erwin Alparaque, said that he supports the request for additional manpower of CTTMO.
"I would support the request of Chief Poliquit and ask our good city Mayor to hire additional personnel to augment the present manpower of the Traffic Management Center," Alparaque said.
He also added that the ideal number of personnel to be added for the office is 100 to 150.

A Des Moines man accused of beating an elderly couple last year could be facing life in prison after a judge convicted him Friday of first-degree murder.
Ngor Makuey, 20, showed little emotion other than to lean his head back in his chair as District Judge Jeffrey Farrell read his ruling convicting Makuey in the death of Rupert Anderson.
Farrell also found Makuey guilty of assault with intent to commit serious injury, as well as robbery and burglary. He will be sentenced at a hearing Jan. 4.
Makuey went on trial in November on accusations that he beat Anderson and his wife, Harriet, in their east-side Des Moines home on the evening of July 2, 2014.
The judge at the afternoon hearing called the case "tough" to make sense of, but he said he agreed with prosecutors' contentions that Makuey, who was born in an Ethiopian refugee camp, broke into the couple's house to rob them. Defense attorneys claimed Makuey was legally insane at the time of the attack.

Family: Teen charged with murder was quiet, happy
One of the main pieces of evidence found at the scene that supported prosecutors' claims was a jewelry box that usually sat on a shelf in the couple's bedroom and had been found on the bed, Farrell said.
"He was the one who moved that jewelry box," he said.
The Andersons' grandson and son-in-law were both in the courtroom for the afternoon hearing. Though she lived through Makuey's attack, Harriet Anderson died in March.
Former Polk County Attorney Dan Johnston, a friend of the family, said that he believes the stress of her husband's murder and her own injuries contributed to Harriet Anderson's death.
"I think the Anderson family is glad it's over, or at least close to being over," said Johnston, who often sat in on the trial. "… It's just a real tragedy. ... It's a shame that Mrs. Anderson didn't live long enough to at least see this much done for justice for her husband."
The attack on the elderly couple, known for the kennel they ran together, was shocking because of its brutality. The officers' arrival on the scene that night was captured on video, filmed by a crew that was embedded with Des Moines police for an episode of the show "Cops."
At trial, Dr. Michael Taylor, a psychiatrist, testified for the prosecution that in his own examinations of Makuey, the former Southeast Polk High School student claimed that a green man with four arms would enter and control his body. Taylor, however, said he believed the teen's claim was "preposterous."
Farrell in his ruling said evidence showed that Makuey was not insane at the time of the crime, and he believed Makuey, who was unemployed, badly needed money. Makuey took the murder weapon, a grilling spatula, from his family's apartment to the Anderson's house, he said.
"He went over there and the first thing that he did when he got inside that house was club Rupert Anderson over the head," he said.
Makuey's mother sat behind the defense table and left without speaking to a reporter.

Background: Bali . . . the name invokes a tropical paradise. And while coffee doesn't generally come to mind, as part of Indonesia, it should. BALI ORGANIC is sourced from family owned small-holder farms located in the island's Kintamani Highlands. The volcanic, mineral-rich soils around Mount Agung provide an almost perfect growing environment.
Intrinsically tied to religion in Bali, agriculture is expressed through a cooperative land/water management system based upon the traditional philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which promotes harmony between the spiritual, human, and natural realms. As a result, agricultural practices emphasize farm and land management methods that are models of sustainability.
Coffee production is arranged around an organization called a Subak Abian, which manages both the agricultural and religious activities of its members. In keeping with Tri Hita Karana, the use of pesticides is prohibited and all fertilizers are required to be 100% organic.
