"squawk box" starting in eight minutes time. still to come here, of course, we're going to discuss the markets. let's check into the futures right now. as you can see, the dow called up 25 points. last week we gained just over half a% for u.s. equity markets. joining us from boston, jeff kleintop, strategist at charles swab. that number disappointed on friday. jobs print heading into friday was a tie between whether people were expecting september or december. what's your latest take. >> our vie is likely to hike this year. december far more likely than september. not so much because of the jobs data. had a couple of better than expected numbers and a number slightly below expectations here. reported on friday. the job markets certainly i think justifies a rate increase. the bigger question is what is the global perspective. what is the global economy look like over the course of the next several months.
we've gone italian referendum coming up. that's a key focus for the fed. remember how big a brexit issue was for the fed. it was looking at what interest rates might look like in the second half of this year. that could be an issue that weighs on the fed's perspective in addition too many other factors around the world. one is earnings expectations are pretty high right now. one of the widest gaps between forward expectations and actual result s since 2009. the fed may get concerned the expectations are stretched in the stock market. >> despite the brexit fears, we've seen the s&p gain 4% from memorial day to labor day. if you're an investor and got out of stocks because of the brexit related tax returns, where would you put your money now? >> it's a great we. technology stands out as a consistent winner in the markets. the financial sector is increasingly attractsive.
it's been lagging all year here and will abroad. lately started to turn the corner and moved a bit higher. in part for highest interest rates from the fed. really important for the financials, but disappointing sector for a while. might be an interesting value opportunity for investors. >> still high beat. can you describe it as a value sector. >> well, it is cheap. i mean, if you take a look at valuations relative to the rest of the market, it's been beaten down for good reason. the difference is mainly the issues aren't so much around credit this time. they're around the income statement. the fact is as interest rates remain low, every one of those loans rolling off and over has rolled over at a lower interest rate. that could change. maybe even lift a little could be just the dwood news that sector has been waiting for. >> much discussion over the summer about the fact we were hitting new highs in u.s. equity market r markets on low volume.
the question as we come back after labor day when volumes pick up will they maintain. how much confidence can you take from factors such as last week, disappoint job number, oil prices sliding and markets going up. >> yes, one toch interesting things in is taking a look at individual investors. individuals weren't the reason stocks had moved higher. it's been institutions, but interestingly we know individuals chase performance and the five-year record tends to be what they chase. that has just begun to turn back up again. we started to see five year returns if for stock market begin to improve. that's in part because of recent performance, but also because we dropped off august of 2011. that big debt ceiling debacle in the u.s. that said bear market send global markets into a bear market five years ago. the point is individuals may finally begin to turn around and buy in september and october. certainly risks to the markets.
might be even heightened risk as we come out of the summer, but individuals may come in and give the rally a second win. >> if we pivot to commodities. saying they are going to cut down on steel production. one of the reason we have been seeing depressed prices is china overproducing commodities. is this time to get bullish. >> i believe it when i see it. the problem is china there's so much employment and manufacturing production tied to metals they've had a very hard time pulling capacity back. they want to. they continue to talk in that direction. their actions have been lagging. they haven't really curtailed excess capacity to the degree they would like to. merging business together. haven't really seen the employment pull back there. expect that to continue over capacity for some time. >> thank you very much for joining us this morning. that is it for "world wide exchange" today. a lot of things to focus on. particularly mna deals.
likes of volkswagen and monsanto bayer deal. all of that and much more coming up on "squawk box" next. urme i? ke having thing t u, jt right, thank you randall. ery stitch and seam of your home insurance, ilor to fit yoand your dget. th unique features, like claim freeewar... ohh! customized homprotection ilor to fit yoand your dget. extra features th unique features, like claim freeewar... ohh! l at an afrdable price!n ilor to fit yoand your dget. i'm going to live in this. in means getting more from your home insurance th an expert allstate agent. it's g gd to be in, good hds.

What's in the Box — Unboxing the PS Vita

Xbox Buyer's Guide
So here it is, the box for the Wi-Fi model of the PS Vita. If you've been paying attention, you've probably seen this before. But what's important to note about it?
The PS Vita Wi-Fi Model Box
Lifewire / Niko Silvester
Aside from the obvious fact that it's a PS Vita box, notice the bottom right-hand corner. That's where it tells you which model you're looking at (in this case, the Wi-Fi only model). You'll also see a little picture of a PS Vita memory card, with a note next to it. This note is important: it tells you whether or not a memory card is included. In this case, it says (in very small type, with the important bit in brackets) "sold separately." If you happen to have purchased the pre-order version, it came with a memory card and a game.
The Back of the PS Vita Box
On the back of the box, you'll find a bunch more important and/or useful information. First of all, you may notice that this particular box has French and well as English — that's because I'm in Canada. Aside from that, all North American boxes should have the same information.
The most essential information is this: the box contents, and the region. The contents are listed right under the pretty pictures and let you know that you should find a PS Vita, a USB cable, an AC adaptor, a power cord for the AC adaptor, and some printed materials. If you're missing anything that is listed on your box, take it back to the store immediately, or contact PlayStation Support. The region is shown at the bottom right — it's the black icon with a globe and a number. In this case, the system is region 1, which is North America. That means this PS Vita will only play region 1 and region-free games (alas, unlike the PSP, the PS Vita is not region-free).
The PS Vita Box Opened
Right on the top of the box is a package of printed materials. They consist of an information sheet on Sony's PlayStation Protection Plan, which extends your warranty to 3 years, and an info sheet on games and accessories. There will also be a Safety Guide in there (two, if you're in Canada — one English, one French). It has all the usual stuff about epilepsy, radio waves, and safe handling of the device. You've probably read it all before but read it again anyway as a reminder. Safety is important, after all.
Finally, you'll find a package of AR cards, which can be used to play free augmented reality games, downloadable from the PlayStation Store.
The First Layer
Once you remove the top package of printed stuff in its neat little plastic bag, you'll discover... more printed material. It's a different size and shape, so I guess it didn't fit in with the other stuff. This printed stuff is your Quick Start Guide (again, in Canada you'll get separate French and English versions). Unlike the original PSP, there's no printed manual, just this little guide. If you need more information, though, you can access the full User Guide right from your PS Vita's home screen (once you're set up with an internet connection). It's a thin little booklet, but it has everything you need to get started and get online.
The Second Layer
Remove the last of the printed materials, and you finally get to the PS Vita, nestled in a cocoon of that soft, plastic-y padding. And see how neatly the box is divided into two compartments? Doesn't it make you want to keep using it to keep things in? Okay, so I'm a fan of packaging design. There's not much else to see here.
The PS Vita Revealed
Remove the white protective wrapper and pop open the cardboard compartment and the rest of the box's contents are revealed. Here's where you want to check and make sure that everything the back of the box promised is actually in there. In this case, we've got the PS Vita itself, and the three components of the charging-and-synching apparatus (USB cable, AC adaptor, and power cord. And that's everything.
All the PS Vita Box Contents
In case you found it hard to see the box contents while it was still in the box, here's everything out of the box. On the left are the AC adaptor and its power cord, and the array of things on the right are, from top to bottom: AR cards, Quick Start Guide, Safety Guide, info sheets (with USB cable on top), and PS Vita.

Oracle partners with ByteDance to save TikTok from being banned in the U.S.
In a conclusion that nobody saw coming, Oracle has been chosen by ByteDance as its "trusted technology partner" to avoid having TikTok shut down in the U.S. The news follows weeks of discussions between ByteDance and multiple U.S. companies about a potential acquisition of the U.S. operations of TikTok. Microsoft and Walmart of all companies were the most serious contenders, but even Alphabet at one point considered jumping in.
The Trump administration gave ByteDance until this week to secure a deal; a failure in securing a deal would mean that the ban would go into effect this coming Sunday and force ByteDance to divest itself of TikTok's U.S. operations by November 12. TikTok, along with WeChat, is accused of threatening the national security of the United States, though ByteDance denies this to be the case, filing a lawsuit challenging the ban back in August. ByteDance did not specifically name Oracle as its partner, only stating that the company "submitted a proposal to the Treasury Department which we believe would resolve the administration's security concerns." Oracle itself confirmed it was chosen as the partner, however.
The exact details of the deal between ByteDance and Oracle have not been revealed, but U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin revealed on CNBC that there's a "commitment" to create TikTok Global as a "US headquartered company with 20,000 new jobs." Mnuchin said that the U.S. government will need to review the deal before being approved. "I will just say from our standpoint, we'll need to make sure the code is, one, secure, Americans' data is secure, that the phones are secure and we'll be looking to have discussions with Oracle over the next few days with our technical teams," Mnuchin said on CNBC's Squawk Box.
The proposed arrangement will allow ByteDance to retain ownership but outsource data management to Oracle, according to The Washington Post. It's a big win for Oracle's cloud business and could elevate the company's business with data on the viewing habits of younger consumers. TikTok draws in more than 100 million monthly active users in the U.S., so the move will no doubt improve Oracle's mindshare and could potentially attract more cloud business.
As TikTok worked to keep U.S. operations running, a number of competing services have been released. Instagram rolled out Reels to a wider audience, while YouTube today announced they're testing a new feature in India known as Shorts.
Developer: TikTok Pte. Ltd.

CARL FREDERICK PRUTTON 1898-1970 BY CHALMER G. KIRKBRIDE C ARL FREDERICK PRUTTON, educator, engineer, inventor, indus- trial executive, and philanthropist, died at the Columbia- Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City on July 15, 1970. He had a multitude of friends who respected and loved him. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 30, 1898, and was the second of four brothers whose father ran a milk business. He attended Purdue University as a freshman at the age of sixteen. His economic situation, however, was so tight that he joined the Indiana National Guard in order to have the state pay for his Purdue military uniform. This did not turn out as he had expected. He returned to Cleveland during the summer vacation of 1916 and was earning fifty-five cents per hour operating a grinding machine. He had been on the job two weeks when he was summoned to the Mexican border to help subdue Pancho Villa, for which he was paid $15 per month. This did not permit him to save anything, and, when he went back to Cleveland the following October, he could not afford to return to college. Subsequently, he obtained a job as a locomotive fireman on the New York Central at $114 per month. In the fall of 1917, he entered Case Institute of Technology part-time and kept his locomotive fireman's job. By the fall of 1918, his savings were sufficient to permit him to leave the railroad and enter Case full-time. 231
He obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in chemical en- gineering in 1920, and, while serving as an Instructor at Case, he obtained his master's degree in 1923. He received his Doctor of Philosophy degree in physical chemistry at Western Reserve Uni- versity in 1928. It is apparent that, even though Carl's parents were unable to pay his way, he was sufficiently enterprising and energetic to work and pay for his education himself. This same spirit was always manifested by Carl throughout the balance of his life. Those who had the privilege of working with him never doubted this man's ability to succeed. We always knew he would be successful at whatever he undertook. Carl served on the faculty of Case Institute of Technology from 1920 through 1948. He was Head of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering from 1936 to 1948. From 1942 to 1944, he was Chief, Process Development Branch, Office of Rubber Director, and Consultant for the War Production Board. From 1921 through 1941, Carl served as consultant to the Dow Chemical Company. In the earlier years, he was involved in the development of processes for separation of calcium and mag- nesium chlorides brine, which matured into full-scale commercial plants. Later his major efforts were expended in building up and operating a research and field development organization and equipment for the Dowell Division. This Division required a very special form of research organization and techniques. It included a field development group that was tightly integrated into the com- mercial end of the business. Developments during Carl's years with Dowell included im- provements in acidizing procedures, new inhibitors, plastic water shutoff methods, bottom-hole survey equipment and procedures, and the use of acid and other chemicals for the cleaning of scale from industrial equipment. Dowell blazed the way in the employ- ment of acid and other chemicals to greatly increase the productiv- ity of oil, gas, and water wells. In 1929, Carl became a Consultant to Lubrizol, which entailed the beginning of research on additives at the Case Institute of 232
Technology laboratories. At that time, Lubrizol was marketing only a graphite-containing spring lubricant. No additives were being made and sold by Lubrizol. The total additive business in the United States was minute. Between the years 1929 and 1951, Carl served Lubrizol in the varied capacities of Consultant, Director, and Research Director, while the Company assumed a leading position in the lubricant- additive field. The use of lubricant additives in the United States grew to over $200 million per year by the time of Carl's death. Initial lubricant research work at Case demonstrated the effec- tiveness of chlorine compounds in lubrication and later the syner- gistic effect of chlorine on the action of sulfur compounds in extreme pressure lubrication. Research centered on the fundamen- tal mechanism of action of lubricating additives and on corrosion in lubricating systems. In 1944 and 1945, Carl served full time at Lubrizol in charge of research and pilot plant development. During that period a number of improved additives for postwar civilian markets were developed under Carl's guidance. Several batch manufacturing plants were converted into simplified continuous processes. Several plants for manufacture of substitutes for unavailable chemical intermediates were set up and operated. The decision by our armed forces to require additive-treated crankcase lubricants for all internal combustion military units, as well as additive-treated gear lubricants, had made tremendous demands on the additive manufacturers. The result of such mili- tary use was to prove beyond all doubt the efficiency and necessity of such materials that Carl had pioneered. During Carl's years with Lubrizol, he led the Company in both fundamental and applied research concurrently. The chief areas explored were crankcase lubricant additives, gear lubricant addi- tives, cutting oil additives, metal drawing compounds, lubricating greases, engine fuel additives, asphalt additives, and synthetic lubricants. The research on lubricant additives, under Carl's leadership, produced outstanding benefits, one of which made possible the use of the hypoid gear by increasing the load-carrying capacity of a 233
mineral oil more than tenfold. This had a revolutionary effect on the automobile industry. Another benefit was greatly increased life and efficiency of Diesel engines by keeping the pistons clean, so the piston rings remained loose and effective. Periods between engine overhauls, in general, increased over tenfold in length. This greatly reduced maintenance and improved reliability of performance. In 1948 Carl left Case and went into business on his own as a consultant to companies interested in research and development. One of his clients in his new business was Mathieson Chemical Corporation, now Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation. Carl was employed on a part-time basis in 1948 to appraise the Corpora- tion's research and development program. In 1949, the Corporation acquired the business and assets of two companies with eight plants. Carl was invited to become Vice- President and Director of all manufacturing and of all their re- search and engineering. Carl accepted and sold his consulting business and went with Mathieson. While Carl was with Mathieson, he championed the need for industry-sponsored basic research in engineering schools. He felt that the increased Government support of research projects could lead to indirect or direct control by Government of a large part of our advanced education system. He felt that the uncertainty of Government contracts creates an unwholesome atmosphere for the campuses. When the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation was formed in 1954, it moved into such remote areas of chemistry as Kraft paper, guns, and shotgun shells. At that point Carl concluded that he was spreading himself too thin, since he had fifteen different vice- president titles. Furthermore, he did not believe that the best way to build a company was to buy other companies. When his contract expired in 1954, he terminated his connection with Olin Mathieson. Carl had about decided to "retire" to a part-time teaching posi- tion when Food Machinery and Chemical Corporation (FMC) per- suaded him to join them on a full-time basis. He did so in June 234
1954. At that time the company had been in the chemical business only a few years and conducted its operations through five differ- . . . ent divisions. Carl immediately set out to consolidate the company's chemical operations into a logical and effective organization. His study reached into all management activities. After about eighteen months, Carl presented the management with a plan for reorgani- zation and consolidation of its chemical interests. Emphasis at every level was directed toward improving efficiency of operation and making the most effective use of the organiza- tion's staff without regard to "how it used to be done." Much duplication of effort and responsibility were eliminated with the result that the company was able to reduce the personnel of the chemical divisions by nine percent. The whole spirit of the organi- zation changed from old-line conservatism to a new aggressive approach. In June 1956 Carl was elected Executive Vice-President of the Corporation in charge of five chemical divisions. As a result of Carl's efforts in management reorganization of chemical activities, the Corporation received from the McGraw-Hill Publishing Com- pany, in December 1959, the first Kirkpatrick Award for Manage- ment Achievement in Chemical Industry. The building of a strong technical program, fully integrated with management planning and action, was the principal foundation on which this achievement was based. This involved the construction of modern research facilities and the building up of superior research and development groups. Carl retired as Executive Vice-President of FMC on June 30, 1960, but continued with the firm as a Corporate Director and Consul- tant until his death. He served as Special Assistant to the Governor of West Virginia on Industrial Development. He served on the Board of Directors of Commercial Solvents Corporation and Sawhill Tubular Products, Inc. He also served on the Board of Directors of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and on the Board of Trustees of Clarkson College of Technology. He rendered advisory service to many educational institutions such as 235
Clarkson and Manhattan College. He also served on several com- mittees of the National Academy of Sciences Advisory Committee to the Office of Emergency Planning. Carl had over 100 patents and was a prolific writer in the scientific, technical, and trade journals. He was coauthor of the widely used textbook, Principles of Physical Chemistry, and was an authority whose advice was sought by educators, industrialists, and those in Government. He received honorary Doctor of Engineering degrees from Case (1954), from Clarkson College (1960), and from Manhattan Col- lege (1960~. He received honorary Doctor of Science degrees from Marietta College ~ 1962) and from Western Reserve University (1963~. Carl was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1966. He received the Founders Award of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (1965), the Modern Pioneer Award of the National Association of Manufacturers (1940), the annual Honor Award of the Commercial Chemical Development Association (1961), and the coveted Perkin Medal from the Society of Chemical Industry (1961~. In November 1961 he spoke to the assembled chemical society groups in Cleveland and received their annual Chemical Profession Award of Merit. Carl was active in many professional organizations. He was a Member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the American Chemical Society, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the National Association of Corrosion Engineers, the Institute of Petroleum (British), the American Petroleum Institute, the Society of Chemical Industry, Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, Theta Xi, and the New York Academy of Sciences. After retirement from FMC, Carl and his wife moved to Coronado Pines, Florida, and he undertook with his usual vigor to upgrade the natural beauty and appearance of the Lake Weir area. He established a nursery, Coronado Gardens, and led this Florida community into a long-range beautification program. Carl is described by his widow as '`a compassionate man who was always willing and eager to help those less fortunate than he.... 236
He loved young people and was untiring in his efforts to help them get a good education." Carl set up a scholarship fund at the Baptist Church in Candler, Florida, whereby any young person who showed promise would have the chance of getting a good education and of becoming a valuable member of society. Carl Frederick Prutton is survived by his widow, Marie; two sons, John and Carl F., Jr.; and four daughters, Mrs. George D. Conrad, Jr., Mrs. Robert D. Sutherland, Mrs. I. R. Small, and Mrs. I. M. Castillo. 237

FIFA Women's World Cupdate #2: 13 US Goals and Australia Makes A Comeback
Megan Burns June 14, 2019
Sports(?) & Fitness 07 min read
Week Two of the FIFA Women's World Cup wrapped up this afternoon, and WOWEE was it ever a lot to take in!
Kicking things off on Monday, Argentina was semi-shockingly able to fend off Japan for the entire ninety minutes! Japan looked in poor form (pretty unexpected considering their normally formidable presence), but good on Argentina (MAJOR underdog) to keep things 0-0 and earn that point!
And in the second and final match of the day, Canada snuffed out Cameroon 1-0 to push ahead with three points.
On Tuesday we saw New Zealand take on the Netherlands, and while the Kiwis looked like they might be able to keep things at 0-0, the Netherlands were able to sneak in a goal in overtime for the win. Major bummer for our buddies down under.
Later, Chile and Sweden faced off, and things stayed a surprising 0-0 until a game delay came due to lightning in the area. After that, Sweden hit the pitch with a vengeance and knocked in two goals for a final result of 2-0. Again, bummer for our Southern Hemisphere pals, but major props to Chile's goalkeeper on some pretty excellent saves in the first sixty minutes of Swedish attack.
Finally, the day wrapped up with an absolutely CRUSHING match between the USWNT and Thailand – the US scored THIRTEEN GOALS (the most ever scored in a WWC match) with five of them alone being scored by Alex Morgan. Holy bananas, talk about a statement. The media obviously picked up the story, some saying the excessive goals weren't fair to Thailand, but look, bitch, this is the fucking WORLD CUP. Yeah, I'm sure a 13-0 scoreboard stings like hell, but if you can't hang, don't come. Additionally, the goal differential matters big time when it comes to deciding the advancing sixteen teams (four groups will see three teams move forward), so it's nice to have an added bit of insurance on that front.
MOVING ON, Wednesday began the second stage of group play, and we saw Nigeria squeeze out two goals against a fairly lackluster-looking South Korean side for a 2-0 result.
Germany, meanwhile, was able to get a goal against Spain for a 1-0 win, and host nation France edged out Norway with a 2-1 scoreboard to wrap up the day. (Wendie Renard breathed an audible sigh of relief after that second goal came, 'cause it was her accidental own goal that even put Norway on the board in the first place.)
Thursday's first match was the one to watch – Brazil took on Australia, and after the Matildas' shocking loss to Italy over the weekend, everyone wondered if they could bounce back. The answer? Yes, yes they could – they answered Brazil's two goal lead in the first half by sending one in just before halftime, and driving in two more goals in the second half for a 3-2 result. I'm still reeling that Marta and Cristiane were subbed out so early on, and I genuinely feel like that was the misstep that resulted in Australia's overall victory. Things in Group C are p. bonkers at the moment as a result.
The second match of yesterday was between South Africa and China, and China managed to squeak out a goal for a 0-1 win. Not great news for South Africa, that's for sure.
And today (Friday) we started with Japan against Scotland, and the Japanese side seem fully restored to the style of play we'd have expected before their blundered first game of the tournament, managing a 2-1 result over the Scottish debutantes. I was pretty annoyed, though, because one of Japan's goals was scored on a PK that pretty much everyone agreed (minus the ref) shouldn't have been given. And if it hadn't, things would have (at the very least) likely settled up at a 1-1 draw thanks to a BEAUTIFUL goal by Lana Clelland in the 88th minute of play. Unfortunately it was too little too late from Scotland overall (some questionable decisions re: formation and the timing of critical subs there), but that's the way the shortbread crumbles.
Jamaica took on Italy at noon, and the Italians were able to score two goals in the first half with Jamaican chances few and far between. Sydney Schneider blocked a dangerous PK, but she ended up with a yellow card for moving off her line too quickly when the shot was taken, and Italy was able to redo it for the first goal, while the second one came off a corner kick that was poorly defended. Jamaica came to life in the second half with some decent chances, but with Girelli's third goal scored early, and then two more coming from Galli, it ended up being a shut-out 5-0. Womp womp, but Italy moves to the top of Group C as a result, and has the highest goal differential apart from the US.
And finally, Argentina defended incredibly well (thanks in HUGE part to their outstanding goalkeeper, who blocked a PK) against the English attack, but all it takes it one goal, which England got in the second half. The final score was 1-0, meaning England gets the full 3 points and Argentina is left with 0. (My heart feels a little shattered since Argentina is my home away from home, BUT, it ain't over 'til it's over.)
So where does that leave us? Well, France leads Group A with 6 points, while Norway and Nigeria are in second place with 3 points apiece, and South Korea remains in dead last with 0 points. Group B, meanwhile, has Germany in the lead with 6 points, while Spain and China are in second and third with 3 points each, and South Africa remains on the bottom with 0. Group C is currently lead by Italy with 6 points, while Brazil and Australia each have 3 points, and Jamaica stays in last place with 0. Group D has England with 6 points at the top, Japan with 4 points, Argentina with 1 point and Scotland with a sad 0. In group E, the Netherlands and Canada are tied for top position with 3 points each, while New Zealand and Cameroon are both on the bottom with 0. And finally, the USWNT have a commanding lead over Group F by way of the goal differential, but Sweden also has 3 points in second place, while Chile and Thailand are both at the bottom with 0 each.
Germany, France, England and Italy are all confirmed so far to go through to the Round of 16. (Weird how countries with actual funding can advance!)
So what's on deck this weekend? Netherlands are the favorites to win against Cameroon tomorrow at 9am ET, and then we'll get a few hours of break time before Canada faces off against New Zealand at 3pm ET. Then Sweden will play Thailand on Sunday at 9am ET, and we'll see if the USWNT will be as crushing against Chile as they were against the Thai side at noon ET.
And finally, let's talk headlines!
Sam Kerr called out homophobic trolls on social media after they came for her following the Matildas' win over Brazil.
Only 14 Women's World Cup matches are sold out, says FIFA. (Fuck that noise, slash maybe if you hadn't scheduled like twelve other men's tournaments simultaneously…)
Here's what I was talking about re: people getting up in arms about the USWNT scoring a shit ton of goals. SORRY NOT SORRY.
This is a great piece about how Argentina's squad overcame blatant sexism to get to this WWC.
And the VAR griping has continued this week (to the surprise of no one), slash here's a piece that breaks down why the French win over Norway was controversial.
Check back in on Monday for a recap of this weekend's matches, as well as what you need to know going into next week!

In partnership with Center Theatre Group on its Digital Stage platform, The Kennedy Center presents an on-demand film screening of celebrated British choreographer Matthew Bourne's acclaimed Romeo and Juliet.
This passionate and contemporary re-imagining of Shakespeare's classic story of love and conflict is set in the not-too-distant future in "The Verona Institute." Here "difficult" young people are mysteriously confined by a society that seeks to divide and crush their youthful spirit and individuality. The two young lovers must follow their hearts as they risk everything to be together.
Filmed live at Sadler's Wells in London especially for cinemas, Matthew Bourne's Romeo and Juliet stars Cordelia Braithwaite as Juliet, Paris Fitzpatrick as Romeo, Dan Wright as Tybalt, and Ben Brown as Mercutio . Bursting with youth, vitality, and Matthew Bourne's trademark storytelling, the UK's brightest young dance talent join the New Adventures company, with direction and choreography by Matthew Bourne, design by Lez Brotherston, lighting by Paule Constable, sound by Paul Groothuis, and new orchestrations of the Prokofiev score by Terry Davies, played live by the New Adventures Orchestra conducted by Brett Morris.

A three-way stop sign is coming to Dovercourt Road in West Nipissing and the roadway may also possibly see speed bumps.
At the core of the issue is an attempt to slow down traffic coming from Highway 64.
The speed limit on Dovercourt Road is 40 kilometres an hour.
However, councillor Lise Senecal, who lives on the street, says by the time motorists reach her home, some of them are doing 80 kilometres an hour.
There's consensus on council to pursue the three-way stop sign.
But council has a fall back plan in case the stop signs aren't enough.
Councillor Yvon Duhaime says, in theory, the stop signs should slow traffic down.
However, his colleague Dan Roveda says some motorists tend to speed away from the stop sign defeating its purpose.
Council will get a recommendation from its road superintendent on what type of speed bumps to implement if it comes to that.
The options are temporary speed bumps that are removed for the winter so the snow plows don't tear them up during snow removal operations and longer grade speed bumps that would be permanent.
The bylaw for the stop signs is expected at the next council meeting and if necessary, the speed bumps would follow at a future time if traffic doesn't slow down.


The 2nd release of the Danish metal heads is in the stores and so I took the chance to question Iron Fire by email... Here is what Kristian returned to me!
Why do you named the band Iron Fire?
Well, it's no exciting story, we just needed a name for the band and one of us came up with Iron Fire – first we all laughed at it because we thought that nothing would be more silly and a bigger cliché, but at the end of the day we decided to keep it.

We recorded a demo-CD in the late autumn of 1998 and sent it to about 30 records companies all over Europe, and soon we got contacted by 5 or 6 interested companies. After one year of negotiating we choose the contact from Noise Rec.
We decided to let the title of one of the tracks become the title of the album, and we meant that Thunderstorm was one of the strongest songs, with catchy chorus and everything else a good power metal song should have.
Why do you choose this cover artwork? Did you have the idea?
Noise chose the cover design before the album was ever recorded. I think Martin Steene had a conversation with the painter once, telling him about the ideas of ours. If you see the cover of our first demo-CD you will meet an early and very primitive version of the Thunderstorm cover, designed by Martin's ex-girlfriend Lis.
Thunderstorm has a typical artwork for the so called true metal scene. With On The Edge you changed your musical direction. Do you see yourself still as a part of the true metal genre?
No, I would not call Iron Fire a typical true metal band, cos I think that we are a lot more than all of the Hammerfall copies out there.
Which bands influenced you? Obviously you got influenced by Helloween (early years). There are also similarities to Hammerfall... What do you think reminds people of Hammerfall when they listened to Thunderstorm?
We are influenced by a lot of bands, and a lot of those bands aren't even metal bands. Of course some of the influence comes from Helloween and Hammerfall as you mention, but in his songwriting, Martin Steene is just as much influenced by Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, and even bands like Testament and Fear Factory. One of my biggest personal inspirations is Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead. He's created a whole new way of creating strange sounds with a guitar. I'm also a big fan of 'The Edge', U2's legendary string master. He's a genius! (And no!!! His name has got NOTHING to do with the title of the new album!!!).
Your lyrics on Thunderstorm reminds me of Manowar. Do you like the New Yorkers?
How do you got in touch with Tommy Hansen? And how was working with him?
We asked Noise if we could work with Tommy Hansen on our first album and they said no, cos he isn't cheap at all! But we kept on asking a lot of times, and at last they said: "Allright, allright" and we have a great experience working with him both times. I don't know if we'll use him the next time.
Tommy Hansen worked with Helloween, a band who influenced you. Do you think working with Tommy Hansen let you sound a little more like Helloween?
Yes, of course. We used exactly the same keyboard programming and exactly the same guitar effects as Helloween used on Keeper Of The 7 Keys pt. I and II on our first album, so it was almost impossible not to sound like Helloween.
How you came up with the idea to do Under Jolly Roger as a cover version? Is running wild also a main influence?
What is for you the difference between Thunderstorm and On The Edge?
The new album has got a lot of really heavy riffing and a more Rock'n'Roll-kind-a feeling. It's got a lot of variation.
You worked again with Tommy Hansen. Did Tommy Hansen help you to realize the musical change? Or was the line-up change part of it?
Tommy was not responsible for the musical change, if he had been in charge the new album would have sounded exactly like Thunderstorm. He loves creating happy moods with a lot of keyboards and giant chorus sounds, but we wanted to sound a bit more angry this time, so we forced him not to play too much keyboards on the record.
Do you felt being under pressure during the production?
No, actually we had a very pleasant and relaxed time in the studio this time, with a great feeling in the band. When recording Thunderstorm we were all very nervous and under tension, but this time we worked things out fine!
The cover artwork is very different to Thunderstorm's. This time Andreas Marschall did the artwork. How was it to work with such a legendary artist?
Actually we didn't work with him. I think Martin had a conversation with him over the phone once, and told him that we wanted it to be more like the cover he once did for Obituary than all of the "true metal" covers he's done during the past couple of years.
Is it an advantage for you to come from a country which is not known for a huge metal scene? But on the other hand the Danish bands who are successful are all at a very high level.
Some people think it's very exciting with a metal band from Denmark, cos that is definitely not something you meet everyday, but others think: "Oh, the Danes can't play metal, bla, bla, bla..." Just as you, I think the most successful Danish bands are very good. Pretty Maids and Mercyful Fate speaks for themselves!
Most bands which are known from Scandinavia are part of the death and black metal scene... why do you think this kind of music is so popular in the Scandinavian metal scene?
I really don't know, but I think it's sad. I like some of the bands, like In Flames, Emperor, Dissection, etc. But all of those primitive death metal bands can really make me sick!
Are any concerts planned or a tour? Festivals?
What can the fans expect live from Iron Fire?
Well, nothing special, sorry. Just a normal rock concert the way it should be, with a lot of energy, head-banging and maybe a bomb or two.
If you should choose a band to tour with, which one would you choose?
I would definitely choose Radiohead, so I could have a little chat with Jonny Greenwood about guitar effects! Of course it would be great to travel around the world with all of the bands that you have adored since growing up, but I don't know which to choose.
Do you think that internet is a chance for young bands?
Do you like to keep in touch with the fans by email? Or talking with the fans after the shows?
Yes, it's always great to hear different people's different opinions about the job, you just did. Each member of the bands has an email address on our official homepage: www.ironfire.com, and we try to answer all of the mails, we receive, but it is not always possible. I love hanging around with the fans after the shows, so don't be afraid to join the Iron Fire party next time!
What's your opinion about mp3?
I think it's really great way of exchanging sound files. I use it a lot, cos I make music with a lot of different people around Denmark, and every time one of us has come up with something, everybody receives a mail with the idea in mp3 format.
Do you support the copy protection for CDs?
Well, thanx for your questions, hope to see you soon!

Bryan Adams - Peter Pan of Rock
Report by: Petra Ujawe
Location: Arena Stožice, Ljubljana, Slovenia
It seems unbelievable that Bryan Adams is midway through his sixth decade by now. Performing and singing like an eternal boy is something that seems to be buying him time. Which he proved again in Ljubljana when he visited this past December. The first time he played in Slovenia was a whole eighteen years ago in Koper right after he released "18 til I Die". Back then he "had to" have two opening acts (the Slovenian Šank rock and the mighty Melissa Etheridge). The fact he needed no opening act this time speaks volumes of his career now. Despite his more than thirty years in the business he has been successfully filling the halls of Slovenia (with this being his fourth concert here) ever since.
He was never a really hard core rocker but more someone who enjoys a good old rockin' tune and can at the same time write a real mean ballad or twenty. The best part about him is that he is just as he is. He feels no need to pretend that his core is harder than it really is and doesn't feel the need to sell himself as an eternal ballad writer. He can do both. And he does and he will.
The Stožice hall is easily accessible thanks to free rides (for ticket holders) with the city buses three hours before and after the concert. It was also full of jumping and dancing people of all ages. Bryan started his school of rock with Reckless, the titular song off his fourth album. It was not his debut but it landed him among stars with the help of Tina Turner dueting with him on It's Only Love. As a tribute to the album's thirtieth anniversary, he played all the songs off the album and shared a few anecdotes. He didn't forget to praise Tina who was already a star by the time they recorded the single together and yet she took a chance on a small rocker boy from Canada. He told stories of how vinyl records were created and produced and what they actually are (for the younger audience to understand). He humorously explained that he had many more songs ready for the album but he never had the opportunity to send them all out into the world. Until now. So besides playing the whole Reckless album he also played quite a few tracks that didn't make it in the original cut but were published now on the anniversary edition.
After making a joke about having actually recorded many more albums, he proceeded into the second half of his set that mainly consisted of some of his greatest hits. He also searched for a "wild woman" in the audience to dance to his If Ya Wanna be Bad Ya Gotta Be Good and got not only one girl (and her friend) to dance along but also two other girls. They were very unfortunately interrupted by a security guard (who was obviously not paying attention) who demanded from them to move from the steps in the stand only to be booed by the audience and to have Bryan interrupt his song. "In Slovenia you ask for one girl and you get four," he joked before rewarding the girls with some merchandise for their dancing selflessness. He also gave his guitar pick to a very young boy in the audience and surprisingly sang the duet When You're Gone without the help of a girl from the audience (which he usually does). Perhaps he wasn't sure what the security guards would do with that?
All in all he is an old school musician who doesn't believe in huge productions and big shows. He sticks to his band and relies on his musical abilities and the sympathy of the audience which rewards him with loud sing-alongs and energetic applause and cheer. At the same time he tweaks his songs just enough to not be predictable (or too studio-like) and to at some moments almost surprise with the strength of his voice and the faultlessness of his vocal abilities. There are also cherries on top in the shape of unexpected guitar improvisations. The undeniable energy on stage between him and his band members surely helps making such a simple concert into an amazing success.
His encore was acoustic, consisting of only himself and his guitar (and a bit of harmonica) and faithful thousands of backing vocalists. There is some sort of magic in his concerts that cannot be explained easily. But it is seen everywhere: in smiling friends singing along or in excited, dancing and bouncing middle-aged men who embarrass their male friends for twenty minutes. After twenty minutes the embarrassed friends join in and dance until they can't hold their beer cups. Perhaps that's the magic that keeps Bryan Adams so youthful.

Kevin Small knew something was up, which was why he was driving a pick-up truck into the dark abyss of an Australian underground mine, occasionally swerving into turnouts to dodge 55-ton trucks hauling giant loads of rock.
A team of his senior colleagues had summoned Small, head of Toronto-based RNC Minerals Corp.'s Beta Hunt Mine, for reasons they declined to share over the radio system that everyone in the mine used.
After 15 minutes, he arrived at his destination, about 500 metres below the surface. Three colleagues, already on the scene, stood marvelling at a rock face that had been blasted open. Huge ribbons of gold streaked the surface and there was more gold lying on the floor than the entire mine had produced in months.
He looked down and realized he was standing on a large gold stone, and that there were coarse bits of gold and boulders strewn everywhere. Regardless of any future payout — and there will be one — the discovery has already changed the trajectory of the company that up to then was primarily a struggling nickel miner.

The Making of a Master Gunner
By Buz Fawcett
Published by Skyhorse
Here, point and shoot." These words from his father propelled Buz Fawcett's shooting success as a child, gaining him a number of High Gun awards at local trap clubs by the time he was fourteen. Because of his success, his father awarded him his grandfather's Model 1912 Winchester, which he mastered, even though it "kicked the whey" out of him.
However, his amazing shooting abilities as a kid didn't follow him into adulthood. Fawcett entered into what he calls his "Dark Ages" of shooting after accepting an associate editor position at Sports Afield in New York City, where he had to read and edit what other gunmen were writing about shooting techniques. Eventually, he took a position as editor of Guns & Ammo magazine, located in California. He soon found himself in a position where he could shoot as much as he liked.
After a number of years and extensive research into shooting methods, Fawcett rediscovered his talents through a technique called "Instinctive Shooting." This research and a lot of practice finally led to teaching a workshop on instinctive shooting to help others become adept at this miraculous "point and shoot" method. Instinctive Shooting is Fawcett's guide for other gunmen, describing exactly how and what needs to be done to achieve the ultimate shooting instincts. Practical and hands-on, the book covers such topics as determining your dominant eye, achieving proper shotgun fit, how to correct point and shoot, selecting equipment, practice regimens, mounting, and much more.
Buz Fawcett
Buz Fawcett was an associate editor at Sports Afield, an editor at Guns & Ammo, and a writing instructor. He founded Buz Fawcett's Wingshooting Workshop, which is internationally recognized and nationally advertised. He resided in Marsing, Idaho.

The preferences menu in Maschine includes several helpful options. In this tutorial, I go through the different pages and settings. First, under the General tab, there is a menu similar to Record Mode on the hardware. Next, the Default tab allows you to change metronome sample sound, default pattern length, and more. There is a Library tab as well as a Plug-Ins tab which I cover as well.
Notably, the Hardware tab allows you to change pad sensitivity options and display brightness/contrast. Play around with these options to see how they affect live performance. Lastly, the Colors tab has some different options for scene, group, and sound color.

Behold the Latest Disgrace at the IRS: Their Lawyer
Meet Jennifer O'Connor
06.24.2014 | News | Matt Fox |
Mere hours after the House Oversight Committee did a fantastic job taking IRS Commissioner John Koskinen to task last night — despite his continued stonewalling — a follow-up hearing was held this morning, in which former IRS lawyer Jennifer O'Connor was subpoenaed for testimony. She was forced to appear, after a late-night letter from White House Council Neil Eggleston attempted to ensure that O'Connor would conveniently be "unavailable" for questioning. In other words, she was dragged to Capitol Hill today, kicking and screaming.
Before her current job in the legal department of the White House, O'Connor had been working at the IRS, tasked with responding to the requests of Congress last year during the height of the Lois Lerner scandal and all of its related unanswered questions. Put another way, it would appear that she has been promoted for doing absolutely nothing. Surprise, surprise.
Today, Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) asked O'Connor some very basic questions. Questions like: who did you work with? Shocker of all shockers: she couldn't manage to think of one single person (well, except for that "dude named Ben"). Check out some footage of the questioning above, where Chaffetz exposes the arrogance of yet another IRS asshat.
Matt Fox
Fox has history in broadcasting that spans two decades. From his early days as an FM host and club DJ in the mid-90′s to his later experiences in political talk radio, he has always had a knack for combining topical news with his love for popular culture. Those experiences culminated in his position as executive producer for several radio shows featured in the TALKERS Heavy 100. Originally from New York, Fox has made the great pilgrimage down to sunny south Florida.

This 5-filter "Pinkel" triple-band set is designed for imaging of a sample that is simultaneously labeled with DAPI, FITC, and Texas Red, (or other key fluorophores – see complete list above). This set has been designed to deliver significant fluorescence signal improvements for LED-based light engines, including 365 nm DAPI LEDs, compared with traditional sets designed for standard broadband light sources such as mercury or xenon arc lamps. The complete set is comprised of a triple-band beamsplitter and a triple-band emitter (these can be offered assembled in a microscope cube), plus three "no burn-out" single-band exciters that are intended to be mounted in the LED-based light engines, or in an exciter filter wheel or slider.
