Рендал Вилијам Роудс (; 6. децембар 1956 — 19. март 1982) био је амерички хеви метал гитариста који је свирао са бендом Quiet Riot и Озијем Озборном. Као посвећени студент класичне гитаре, Роудс је комбиновао знање из класичне музике са својим стилом свирања. Погинуо је у авионској несрећи на Флориди 1982. Упркос краткој каријери, Ренди је оставио велик траг, и многи гитаристи га наводе као свог идола. Укључен је у неколико листи најбољих гитарсита свих времена.

Биографија

Детињство и младост
Ренди Роудс је рођен у Санта Моници, Калифорнија. Био је најмлађи од троје деце, имао је брата Дага и сестру Кети. Његови родитeљи, Долорес и Вилијам, били су наставници музичког. Када је Ренди имао 5 и по година, његов отац се одселио и оставио Долорес да се сама брине о троје мале деце. Његова мајка је отворила музичку школу у Северном Холивуду под именом Мусониа (), како би издржавала децу.

Пошто нису поседовали никакав музички уређај, деца су морала сама да стварају музику како би се забавила.  Ренди је почео да иде на часове класичне гитаре са 7 година у школи своје мајке. Убрзо је развио интересовање за електричну гитару и почео је да иде на часове код наставника Скота Шелија (). После кратког времена, Шели је престао да држи часове, јер га је Ренди превазишао. Роудс је такође свирао клавир код своје мајке, како би развио разумевање за теорију музике.

У средњој школи упознао је Келија Гарнија (), са ким је остварио блиско пријатељство. Почели су да свирају заједно на мањим скуповима, журкама, клубовима, и у наредном периоду су оформили  неколико бендова: Хор (), Вајолет Фокс (), Каценџамер Кидс () и Милдред Пирс (). Иако су слушали популарне музичаре и бендове тог времена, и своју музику базирали на основу њиховог утицаја, нису били изузетно популарни, те је живот ових бендова био кратког века. Неки од музичара и бендова који су утицали на њихов развој су: Дејвид Боуви (енгл. David Bowie), Алис Купер (енгл. Alice Cooper), Глен Бакстон (енгл. Glen Buxton), Мик Ронсон (енгл. Mick Ronson), Ролингстоунси (енгл. The Rolling Stones), Маунтин (енгл. Mountain), Скорпионс (енгл. Scorpions).

Quiet Riot
Са 16 година, Роудс и Гарни су оформили бенд Литл Вимин (). Отприлике у исто време, Ренди је почео да држи часове гитаре у школи своје мајке преко дана, а увече је свирао у клубовима. Средњу школу (Burbank High School) је завршио по специјалном програму, који му је омогућио да скрати школовање и потпуно се посвети музици. Када су се бенду придружили певач Кевин Дубров (енгл. Kevin DuBrow) и бубњар Дру Форсит, бенд је променио име у Quiet Riot. Форсита су познавали од раније, док је Дубров био потпуно новопечени члан поставке и уопште није био певач каквог је Ренди замишљао за свој нови бенд. Фронтмен каквог су имали на уму требало је да подсећа на Алиса Купера или Дејвида Боувија. Ситни проблеми су настали у бенду јер Дубров није одстуапао од својих идеја. Aли пошто су Роудс и Гарни схватили да Дубров дели њихов ентузијазам, одлучили су да га задрже.

Quiet Riot је убрзо постао најпопуларнији бенд у клубовима Лос Анћелеса, и крајем 1976. су потписали уговор са CBS/Sony Records. Ренди је својим стилом облачења привлачио много пажње, и његове туфнасте кошуље су постале заштитни знак бенда.

Заједно су издали два албума: Quiet Riot 1977, и Quiet Riot II 1978, који су били објављени само у Јапану.

Ози Озборн (Ozzy Osbourne)
Године 1979. бивши певач Блек Сабата (енгл. Black Sabbath) Ози Озборн, дошао је у Лос Анђелес у нади да оформи нови бенд. У то време Ренди Роудс је био незадовољан тиме што његов бенд није могао да сними албум за америчко тржиште. Дејна Струм (енгл. Dana Strum), као заједнички познаник, препоручио је Рендија Озију као решење за гитаристу. У септембру 1979, Ренди је отишао на аудицију и одушевио све присутне у студију, чак иако се само загревао. Саопштено му је да је добио посао, и на њему је било да одлучи да ли жели да напусти Quiet Riot.

Озборн се вратио у Енглеску, где је упознао бившег басисту Рејнбоуа (енгл. Rainbow) Боба Дејзлија (енгл. Bob Daisley). Њих двојица су се моментално разумела, и почели су да деле идеје. Озборн је рекао да је у Америци упознао талентованог младог гитарису. Озборн и Дејзли су се сложили да би требало да запосле Рендија, али менаџмент није делио њихов став. Недуго након тога, један од менаџера Дон Арден (), се побунио и Роудс је добио позив да дође у Енглеску. 27. новембра 1979, Ренди је дошао у Лондон где се састао са Озборном и Дејзлијем у студију Џет Рекордс (). Последњи члан који се придружио бенду био је бубњар Ли Керслејк (енгл. Lee Kerslake).

По комплетирању бенда, одмах су се упутили у студио и 20. септембра 1980. су објавили албум Blizzard of Ozz. На одушевљење свих чланова, албум је моментално постао хит у Америци. Охрабрени овим подвигом, после турнеје у Енглеској, почели су да снимају нови албум. 7. новембра 1981, албум је ојављен под називом Diary of a Madman.

Ренди је одлучио да после америчке турнеје напусти бенд, како би дипломирао класичну гитару на Универзитету Калифорније.

Смрт

Дана 18. марта 1982, у Ноксвилу (енгл. Knoxville), Ренди је одсвирао свој последњи концерт. Следећег дана, група се упутила у Орландо. Застали су близу приватне писте у Лизбургу, јер се на аутобусу покварио клима уређај. На писти је било неколико авиона, и возач аутобуса Ендру Ајкок (), је без дозволе узео један од авиона. На први лет повео је клавијатуристу Дона Ајрија (енгл. Don Airey) и менаџера турнеје Џејка Данкана (). На другом лету су му се придружили Ренди Роудс и шминкерка Рејчел Јангблад (). Ајкок је из неког разлога одлучио да пролети поред аутобуса што је ближе могуће. Прва два пута су прошла рутински. Из трећег пута авион је крилом закачио аутобус и срушио се. Од силине ударца сви путници авиона су остали на месту мртви. Авион се након пада запалио и њихова тела су изгорела. Ренди је индетификован помоћу зубарског картона и личног накита.

Аутопсијом је утврђено да је Ајкок у крви имао кокаин.

Наслеђе
Иако је његов живот био кратак, а каријера у замаху, Ренди Роудс је оставио велик утицај на свет метала. Утицао је на многе гитаристе као што су: Дајмбег Дарел (енгл. Dimebag Darrell), Џон Петручи (енгл. John Petrucci), Зек Вајлд (енгл. Zakk Wylde), Мајкл Ромео (енгл. Michael Romeo), Мик Томсон (енгл. Mick Thomson), Пол Гилберт (енгл. Paul Gilbert), Бакетхед (енгл. Buckethead), Мајк Мекриди (енгл. Mike McCready), Алекси Лајхо (енгл. Alexi Laiho).

North Korea announced that a United States university student was arrested for what they deemed a "hostile act".
The student, Warmbier Otto Fredrick, said North Korea did not state why the student was held or if the offense was explained.
North Korea has toughened its sanction for their nuclear test. North Korea also accused Washington and Seoul of sending spies to overthrow their government.
The U.S. government is now advising against travel to North Korea.
I would like to send out prayers for the student that is being held in this region. They are not a fan of America and I think all need to take heed. Do not put yourself in potentially harmful situations. I can not imagine what the parents are going through, as they wonder what North Korea has in store for their son. One cannot imagine what the son is going through not knowing what the outcome will be, and so many things are going through so many minds.
I sit here and my heart hurts and I will continue to pray for all involved.

NEW YORK, April 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Syndio, a leading technology platform with a mission to eradicate pay disparities, announced today that the Company has retained KCSA Strategic Communications (KCSA), a leading New York City-based communications firm, to create a comprehensive, strategic communications campaign to increase awareness of Syndio and help communicate its mission of equal pay for equal work to the marketplace. Syndio's SaaS solution offers organizations across the globe a way to analyze pay issues based on race, gender or any other category; resolve those issues; and monitor compliance over time.
With extensive experience helping to build brands, KCSA will work with management to develop a communications platform that differentiates Syndio, showcases its leadership position and reinforces Syndio's key message around the importance for companies to conduct ongoing, company-wide pay analyses as businesses evolve.
"Today's solutions for solving the pay gap embody a 'one and done' mentality that is ineffective and does not provide a long-term solution for companies," said Maria Colacurcio, CEO, Syndio. "As opposed to reviewing pay structure at a single moment in time, organizations have a responsibility to their employees to engage in ongoing, meaningful analyses and truly commit to identifying the underlying policies and practices that lead to and perpetuate pay disparities. This should not be considered an option – this is table stakes. All employees, regardless of gender or race, have a fundamental right to fair pay, and companies can use Syndio's best-in-class technology to be fully transparent and foster a more diverse, inclusive working environment."
"In helping to tell Syndio's story to the public, KCSA believes strongly in what Syndio is trying to achieve, especially since women make up over half of KCSA's team," added Jeffrey Goldberger, Managing Partner, KCSA. "It is essential that we craft and deliver the right messages that allow Syndio to recruit even more companies to join this important effort. This is all about ensuring that women and other underserved groups are compensated equally for their hard work and finding a real, lasting solution to pay inequity that eliminates pay discrepancies once and for all."
Syndio is leading the way in fair pay as the world's best SaaS solution to offer organizations across the globe a way to analyze pay issues based on race, gender or any other category; resolve those issues; and monitor compliance over time. Syndio offers a suite of innovative tools and services to help companies pay fairly, including a staffing feature that calculates a safe range for new hires to maintain overall equity. Syndio is a distributed company with headquarters in New York and Seattle.
KCSA is a fully integrated communications agency specializing in public relations, investor relations and social media, with expertise in financial services, technology and healthcare. Since 1969, the firm has demonstrated strategic thinking and program execution that drive results for clients in the ever-changing communications and digital landscape.

I think the popularity of shows on TV like The Great British Menu and Bake off really inspired many of the guys to have a go - and they found that not only did they enjoy the challenge they loved that they could eat the result…..so it wasn't long before many baked goods and treats were making their way in to the office. Making a cake involves passion and creativity which we have in abundance in the UK office …but a single person cannot eat an entire cake on their own! It started with one cake a week that was proudly brought in to share …but this soon snow balled in to an almost daily event and eventually as everyone's waistlines and risk of obesity expanded to bursting point we had to say enough is enough….it seems you really can have enough of a good thing!
Baking Buddies was the answer…..a baking Rota that is self-managed by those that love to bake. Sharing baked goods in the office was now under control again and limited to one day every 2 weeks.
Anyone can sign up to Baking Buddies and will be allocated a 'slot' on a day when they can choose what they want to bring in and share with everyone else. All those who are Baking Buddies can sample the different bakes for free – those who don't want to bake but enjoy eating can participate for the price of £1 'buy' a slice of happiness…..and that £1 is then donated to a charity at the end of the year – so it really is a Win , Win, Win situation – cake is enjoyed in moderation, bakers can plan their creative masterpieces to impress their colleagues, a charity benefits from the donations, and we can make the world a better place by eating something delicious.
As you can imagine not all cakes have made it into the office - one has been dropped on a driveway and embedded with gravel, one was thrown into a bush and one ended up in pieces in the car park…..it seems the challenge is not only baking the cakes but also getting them to the office in one piece!

8 Then he took curds, and milk, and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate.
9 They said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" And he said, "She is in the tent." 10 The Lord said, "I will surely return to you in the spring, and Sarah your wife shall have a son." And Sarah was listening at the tent door behind him.

The multi-imperial NATO war machine now hides behind a Liberal Trudeau smile, but not so long ago Tory Harper sent Canadian bombing jets to the front of the laying waste of Libya, an eco-genocidal bombing far more ruinous than any Nazi Luftwaffe SS aerial attack of the past.
In this context, it is well to remember the almost all of US-led NATO's intelligence on Russia came via the Fort Hunt Treaty with Nazi SS commanders. More poignantly close to Trudeau-Liberal Canada, its Foreign Minister, born as Chrystia Freeland – 'Christian Freeland' written into her name – is the granddaughter of the leading Nazi propagandist of Ukraine and in Poland, Michael Chomiak: whom Chrystia has adored as a "freedom loving" heroic man. After long denial but exposure still sticking in the legacy press, 'Freeland' now accuses Russia of "interfering in Canadian democracy" with PM Trudeau, not very well informed, denounces the "scurrilous Russian propaganda against our Foreign Minister". One may not think these absurd reverse accusations of the official US enemy can happen in sovereign Canada, but they already have and there is no end.
The cover-up of the power of Ukraine Nazism in Canada begins with the huge wave of Nazi-sympathizing Ukrainians imported into Canada by a Liberal government after 1945 to overwhelm a progressively activist Ukrainian population. This new bigger vote bank was dominated by a Nazi-sympathizing, Russia-phobic culture that has long been a dark power in Canadian politics. But now it advances into historical power with Russia-hating, 'Freeland' as Canada's Foreign Minister. She is used to the big-lie reverse-accusation method, and so dead-set on demonizing Russia that she makes preposterous claims to cover up her Ukraine "nationalist" lineage and built-in Russo-phobia, in clear step with a neo-Nazi-led Ukraine post-coup state seeking to destroy the Russia-speaking culture and resistance of East Ukraine. Given Canada's unique success in a bilingual democracy granting full rights to a founding minority of the country, the PM and Foreign Minister should be forging the basis of democratic peace rather than seeking war on Russia to sustain the neo-Nazi coup of a federally elected government in Ukraine whose post-coup billionaire oligarch leader has already instead been welcomed into Canada's Parliament behind the US-NATO-led propaganda tide.
The key to big lies is absolute repression of the facts disproving them. Thus no mass media, state politician or their conforming followers report or face the facts of the US-orchestrated, mass-murderous coup in Ukraine executed by neo-Nazis who remain the kill-power behind the post-coup government with NATO as the Enforcer of the big-lie violent destruction of an elected federal state before Putin Russia did a thing. Still many people can be made to believe that Russia's traditional territory for two centuries, the Crimea, was forcefully seized in complete disconnection from the centuries past of Russia's territory decided in battle with the Ottoman Empire. The mainstream can at the same time completely erase from the record the mainly Russian-speaking Crimean people's overwhelming and peaceful referendum in favour of this action, even although there was no evidence against this widely reported fact. The police-watched burning of 137 people alive inside a trade-union building in Odessa in the same period stays unknown and uncondemned to this day. Just as hypocritically given the interminable proclamations of "defending human rights" by NATO nations and NATO, everyone talking can remain completely ignorant of the fact that the Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Affairs Committee of the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly voted twice for resolutions to condemn Ukraine's neo-Nazi-led coup government public "glorification of the Nazi movement, former members of the Waffen SS organization, including the installation of memorials to them, and post-coup attempts to desecrate or destroy the monuments to those who fought against Nazism in Ukraine during World War II". (Canada alone with the US voted against the UN human rights resolution).
Yet during all of this propagandist tide of censorship of facts and reverse-accusing Russia, NATO has been trebling its war forces on Russia's borders and committing actionable crimes against peace behind endless undocumented accusations and false pretexts of "stopping aggression".
While Canada has long been in auto-vassal relationship to NATO, the post-1945 colonial-master transnational war machine led by the US (in the eminent Norman Pollack's words) "at war with a substantial portion of the world and its own population", it is only since the appointment of 'Freeland' to Foreign Minister that she has become the principal provocateur of NATO to more crimes against peace. The historical background makes for war crimes to follow.
The post-1991 pattern of NATO nations across continents is ever increasing threats and war drums against societies not yet subjugated to its US-led military juggernaut – always blaming victim societies' leaders for attacks upon them, and always standing in fact for more private transnational corporate looting powers and destruction of independent social life capital formations and non-profit civil commons. Try to find any exception to the totalitarian pattern. Where seeming exceptions exist, for example, small-population Baltic nations, they too have strong Nazi pasts and hate-Russia as their cornerstone ideology – just as within the US whose lead corporate titans produced for the Nazis during the Second World War, from armoured trucks to banking (the Bush fortune) to concentration camp IBM identity programs. The Balkans are bit players in the NATO world enforcement mechanism of private transnational extraction of all money-value that can be pumped out of human societies and the planet for more multiplying money debt and private profit to the apical top, with no commitment to any life function. Is there any step of dominant NATO nations since the Cold War that does not fit the pattern?
Ukraine is the biggest giant step of the NATO war machine in history for this global-corporate looting program leaving nothing behind but vast pollutions, wastes and war ruins from Vietnam to Iraq to Yugoslavia to Libya to now all the way East into the greatest natural resource basins in the world. One common quality joins all the victim societies then and now – secular social ownership of natural resources and social infrastructures which block total Wall-Street-and-Corporate Company liquidation "with no barriers". The question that is kept hidden throughout the war preparations and big lies since the 2014 US-NATO orchestrated overthrow of Ukraine's elected government and reverse blame of Russia is, as always, cui bono? The answer is self-evident, but unspeakable in official society, academy, and 'peace-activist' fronts. Every link of the war-criminal chain of crimes against peace and doomsday bombing aggression is masked as "peace and freedom", but brings more open transnational powers over, in motion, the biggest corporate-NATO prize in its history. The Ukraine is the bread basket of the Eurasia continent, very rich in new fossil-fuel findings, armed with neo-Nazis and oligarch corruption, coveted now more than any place on Earth on by rich NATO nations for strategic as well as incomparable natural resources, and already so deep in debt to the big banks of the EU and Wall Street that the greatest nation destruction and territorial seizure since the Nazis is set for bombing-war annihilation of all resistance to it.
All the anti-Russia war drums you have heard since before the neo-Nazi coup of Ukraine's elected federal state and fever-pitched since Russia re-claimed the Russia-speaking Crimea and supported the Russia-speaking East against the US-engineered Putsch government have been led by NATO with serial false pretexts and escalating war preparations. This much the informed already know. Yet who would ever have thought that Canada would now become through its new foreign minister a lead manipulator behind the NATO war machine provoking new attacks to war? After so long being merely a branch-plant pawn, the dark side of Canada now emerges from its long-hidden fascist underbelly to incite the rising military preparations to swallow Ukraine whole to to loot-capture the greatest resource-basin of the world as "freedom from Russia". No-one even notices that Canada led by Nazi-descendant Russia hater Foreign Minister 'Freeland' has just organised a three-day April meeting of NATO in Canada for just this purpose, behind the scenes illegally inviting the coup-state Ukraine foreign minister to attend to foment military war action against Russia.
1) NATO has evolved from a long-proclaimed defensive alliance in the Cold War to a de facto alliance of aggression in continual violation of international law: as demonstrated by its long-term ruinous and war-criminal bombing of Libya with falsified justification, and by its unilateral, mounting armed forces including missile-launchers and war jets on Russia's immediate Western borders.
2) NATO has never abandoned its doctrine of unilateral first use of nuclear weapons.
3) Canada's junior presence in NATO precludes it from independent action for peace, as demonstrated when Canada failed to support the legally binding international Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in 2017 (in contradiction to basic Science for Peace policy and actions).
4) Belonging to NATO has already obliged Canada with no sovereign decision to participate in transoceanic war preparations on the borders of a major country with a small fraction of the population and wealth of NATO nations, as well as in war-criminal bombing of an African nation destroying its society, social infrastructures and peace in the region with no reason on the ground (except "we do it because we can" in the words of Canada's then commander-in-chief of Canada's armed forces, Rick Hillier).
5) NATO has nothing to do with Canada's defence against armed aggression from abroad since Canada is already so defended by NORAD: while NATO demands more public wealth from Canada, more troops in the line of fire, and more participation in crimes against peace thousands of miles from Canada's borders.
6) Canada's participation in NATO's proven crimes in this century against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity in the name of peace and self-defence exposes Canada to lawful condemnation as a war criminal state and the odium of the larger world and the future at expense of Canada's people for no gain.
7) Similar allies like Australia and New Zealand want no part of NATO, nor Switzerland, nor Sweden, nor Finland, but Turkey, Albania, Croatia, Romania, trying for Ukraine – all fascist tending – are NATO-nation bases very far from the North Atlantic.

Where to start? First of all, the weather was great and everything was just perfect for an Improv Everywhere Mission!!! Job well done. I was glad to get to meet Charlie and Alex, the writers of "Causing a Scene: Extraordinary Pranks in Ordinary Places with Improv Everywhere ", even if only briefly.
I picked up the book and was fortunate enough to have both authors, Charlie Todd and Alex Scordelis sign the book. Alex had just returned from being the "Big Bad Wolf" in the mission and had barely sat down when he was handed my book to sign. I'm greatfull that he did, and am apologetic towards him for not really giving him a chance to breathe.
I'll spare the details of the event as the guys from IE do a wonderful job of that with their pictures and videos. Besides, I started explaining the event to a few people who were out on their first time. Their friends told them about it in the morning and said, check out this site, download the MP3 and to meet them on site. I stopped myself realizing, there's no way to explain the event without sounding insane. Even Charlie Todd, who is the person behind Improv Everywhere agrees in the foreward of his book. I just explained, go with it, and you'll have fun! And I followed up with them afterwards and they had a blast!
I actually met a lot of first time attendees this year and their reactions are all the same. Everyone had a blast, and the conversations always ended with "We'll see you next year!" – I hope not only to see them again at more MP3 Experiments, but at other Improv Everywhere missions. Being from Long Island (and working 2 jobs including one that ties up my weekends), it's difficult for me to run into the city for short-term events, especially during the week, but I am definitely going to continue making an effort to support Improv Everywhere.
This was my fourth MP3 Experiment (and actually my fourth Improv Everywhere mission altogether) and it certainly won't be my last.
Thank you Charlie, Alex, all the IE agents who worked their butts off to make this happen, and of course, the more than 2000 (Wow! I don't think anyone saw that coming) of you who came down to participate. See you next year!

Well that is not biased reporting at all!
The reality is that if you leave your child in the public education system (especially in CUSD) you children will be at a disadvantage to compete with their peers in the rest of the country. The bottom line is that to enter into any four year selective university you child needs to completer Algebra I Geometry and Algebra II with a minimum of a C (they need that to enter into the military as well) If your child does not do that they are limited to community college. That is why (because so many of our children are not receiving even a MINIMUM EDUCATION they wat to now have tax payer pay for 2 free years of community college. The kids that get stuck in community college for 4- 6 years will never be as successful as kids that actually reach their academic potential in High school and then progress onto a 4-year college and move on. The Bottom line is that kids who do not prepare them selves for a four year selective university or the military are forever behind their peers.
The election of Board of Trustees for the Orange County Department of Education is an important decision for voters in Orange County on June 7th. One candidate, Rebecca "Beckie" Gomez, would be a bad choice for several reasons. Ms. Gomez is backed by various teachers' unions and political groups that are opposed to charter schools and school choice for parents. Yet, Ms. Gomez made a decision for one her children to attend a private, independent school in Newport Beach, rather than attend her neighborhood high school in Tustin. I am not opposed to her family's educational choice. What I am opposed to is her platform and position on local control of schools. It is rather hypocritical for her to oppose the decisions that parents want in many communities in Orange County, that of school choice. She made that choice for her family. Would she now stop that choice for families across Orange County as a member of the OCDE Board of Trustees! Also, I find it alarming that Ms. Gomez, as an Orange County Board of Trustees candidate would celebrate the opening of a vaping business during her tenure as a Tustin City Council member in 2013. She touts her experience as a healthcare administrator with a degree in public health. Researchers estimate that a significant percentage of high school students who have tried e-cigarettes are using them to vaporize cannabis. E-cigarettes and vaping is a particular concern for school officials, nurses, and parents. The OCDE has for several years provided educational assistance for student, parents, and school officials about the dangers of e-cigarettes and vaping. I don't know of one school district in Orange County that would support e-cigarettes or vaping. Was Ms. Gomez's decision to attend a ribbon cutting for a vape shop a good choice! Making good choices is paramount to the success of our Orange County Board of Education. Voting for Rebecca "Beckie" Gomez is a bad choice.

The Trump administration is mass-producing outrages on such an industrial scale I can barely keep up.
Yesterday Trump fired the acting attorney general who refused to defend his unconstitutional travel ban. The last time something like that happened was in the Nixon administration. Less than a year later, Nixon was forced to resign in disgrace.
Ben Mathis-Lilley at Slate has some useful perspective on the theory that the immigration order was a trial balloon for a coup. (For the record, despite linking to this story yesterday, I never endorsed the use of the word "coup". To me, the events of the last few days have "merely" been chipping away at the rule of law, the foundations of which have been crumbling for some time now. Not that anyone should take much comfort in that.
My wife, Nancy, turned me on to two interesting pieces at The Week (a really excellent publication, by the way. Everyone should subscribe.) The first, by Ryan Cooper, soberly describes how Trump is imperiling the Constitution.
Donald Trump's executive branch is defying the judiciary, even with the personal, in-person assistance of national legislators. He is attempting, in part at least, to overturn constitutional government in the United States.
This is not an exaggeration. In a republic, a professional legal corps gets to interpret the law as written by the elected representatives of the people, and the agents of state violence must obey their commands. In a tyranny, the leader does whatever he wants. That is what Trump, with the close counsel of his advisers Stephen Bannon and Stephen Miller, is trying to create.
The second explains the obvious truth (often the most difficult to describe without getting hyperbolic, because, geez, how can anyone with even half a brain not see this?) that the reason Trump's immigration order is outrageous has nothing to do with discrimination or the rule of law and everything to do with the fact that not a single terrorist has ever come into the U.S. from the countries from which immigration is being blocked. Of course, this is far from the first time that Trump has made policy based on falsehoods, nor, sadly, is it likely to be the last.
Finally, but perhaps most importantly in the long run, there is a first-person account from Kieryn Darkwater about what it's like to be indoctrinated as a right-wing culture warrior as a home-schooled child. This should be required reading for every aspiring liberal leader. It describes exactly how the right won (and continues to win) the culture war, in short, by breeding, blocking out opposing views, and taking over the government from the bottom up, starting with local school boards. It is a terrifyingly effective strategy, and if the left doesn't wake up to the realization that we are in fact at war and that the enemy is both amongst us and formidable, we are probably doomed. One symptom of the fact that the left has not woken up is that we're all focused on how horrible Trump is and fantasizing over getting him impeached (or otherwise removed from office), apparently oblivious to the fact that Mike Pence is actually much, much worse.
We need to wake up and smell the theocracy. ISIS is not the imminent threat. Quiverfull and the Promise Keepers are.
"starting with local school boards. It is a terrifyingly effective strategy"
This is similar to what happened in Saudi Arabia. A century ago, Ibn Saud essentially made a "deal with the devil", where he and his (sort of secular) family got political power, while the schools were turned over to the radical Wahhabi religious clerics.
After a century of mandatory religious education, it's not a surprise that the backwards culture of the general population of Saudi Arabia is difficult to modernize, even for the ruling Saud family (who might otherwise be sympathetic).
>Yesterday Trump fired the acting attorney general who refused to defend his unconstitutional travel ban.
>To me, the events of the last few days have "merely" been chipping away at the rule of law, the foundations of which have been crumbling for some time now.. . . He is attempting, in part at least, to overturn constitutional government in the United States.
Trump is restoring the rule of law, which Obama flagrantly and frequently violated.
>This is not an exaggeration.
It's the factorial function of an exaggeration. You've exceeded hyperbolic.
> that the reason Trump's immigration order is outrageous has nothing to do with discrimination or the rule of law and everything to do with the fact that not a single terrorist has ever come into the U.S. from the countries from which immigration is being blocked.. . .
>It describes exactly how the right won (and continues to win) the culture war, in short, by breeding, blocking out opposing views, and taking over the government from the bottom up, starting with local school boards. It is a terrifyingly effective strategy, and if the left doesn't wake up to the realization that we are in fact at war and that the enemy is both amongst us and formidable, we are probably doomed.
Interesting, as conservatives think that progressive liberals, communists, atheists, and anarchists has won, and continues to win the, the culture war. One way they have done this is by taking over the schools and judiciary.
>Christofascists have been wanting someone like Pence in the White House and, until now, didn't have a way to get one in. They know Trump is easily manipulated and will change his mind with the wind if it makes him feel more powerful and famous.
Now back to President Trump as the infantile buffoon Narrative.
>Trump couldn't care less about policy, a fact he's made quite obvious. The Right has given a tyrant power and fame; he will do whatever they want him to do in order to keep it. This way they can sneak Pence in on a piggyback while filling Congress with even more evangelical conservative Republicans.
Returning to President Trump as the criminal mastermind fascist Narrative.
> Compared to Trump's abrasive and terrifying behavior, Pence seems much less threatening. This is not the case. Pence has a proven track record of legalizing discrimination and acting against women and marginalized people. Those of us who didn't leave the far Right are being elected to federal positions or are taking over states and cities. With Pence in office, even the reasonable-seeming incumbents – who have been and are still at the mercy of the Tea Party – are growing more bold in their attempts to further the Christofascist agenda: To Take Back The Country For Christ.
Wow, I didn't know this stuff. A Christofascist conspiracy to take over the country! I suppose they spend a lot of effort fighting the Soviet communist conspiracy, the zionist conspiracy, the Illuminati FNORD conspiracy, and the Mexican conspiracy.
Yet . . . you have just scratched the surface. Much more to learn down the rabbit hole.
I shouldn't say too much. Ad maiorem Dei gloriam.
>We need to wake up and smell the theocracy.
The author probably didn't intend this, but it reads like a list of reasons why Neil Gorsuch is highly qualified to be a Justice on the Supreme Court.
Gorsuch ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby. Correct decision. Later affirmed by the Supreme Court.
His dissent in Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged v. Burwell is also correct.
Gorsuch's dissent in Summum v. Pleasant Grove City was also correct; a position later affirmed by the Supreme Court.
Gorsuch also got it right in American Atheists v. Davenport.
I look forward to Justice Gorsuch.


Alexander Chung & Jade Chynoweth come together to create some fire choreography to match Childish Gambino's fire song. Alexander Chung and Jade Chynoweth gave us a relaxed and fun combo to the hit song Redbone.
With different levels and grooves they really made the choreography fit perfectly with the song. Obviously this is no surprise considering how insanely talented both Chung and Chynoweth are.
Each group in the video, including dancers like Sean Lew and Kyndall Harris, gives a little different interpretation of the choreography, but nonetheless they keep it light and entertaining.
Filmed and edited by Ryan Parma, he is known to team up with Alexander Chung quite a bit, including this classic video.


By next April, PMEs tangling with their employers on salary issues will have an affordable place to go to for recourse: the Employment Claims Tribunals (ECT).
A law setting out the mandate of the new tribunals - which come under the State Courts - was passed in Parliament yesterday.
First proposed in 2014, the ECT will cover workers at all salary levels. But it will benefit professionals, managers and executives (PMEs) earning over $4,500 a month in particular, as they would otherwise have to file claims with the civil courts. The current Labour Court does not cover them.
Employers can also make claims for payments if employees terminate their contracts without notice.
There is growing demand for an affordable and expeditious way to resolve salary-related disputes, Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say told Parliament. This is especially so for PMEs, who number 20 per cent more than they did a decade ago, he said. Together with technicians, the group now comprises over 54 per cent of the total resident workforce.
For now, 18 types of contractual employment claims such as bonuses, overtime payments and retrenchment benefits, as well as 43 statutory employment claims fall under the tribunals' jurisdiction.
The claims limit for the ECT will be $20,000. But it goes up to $30,000 for cases that involve unions in mediation. A total of 12 MPs voiced support for the tribunals during the debate, with some asking for their remit to be widened.
The ECT does not cover disputes such as unfair dismissal and workplace discrimination, said Mr Gan Thiam Poh (Ang Mo Kio GRC).
Workers' Party (WP) Non-Constituency MP Dennis Tan and WP MP Faisal Manap (Aljunied GRC) asked that foreign domestic workers be included under the ECT, while Mr Louis Ng (Nee Soon GRC) called for more protection for foreign workers awaiting payments.
Labour MP Zainal Sapari (Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC) and Mr Faisal asked that fees be waived for low-wage workers or those with financial difficulties. Mr Lim said this would be done in deserving cases as it is in line with the State Courts' existing practice. A short-term relief fund will also be set up to help local vulnerable workers where companies cannot pay up, said Mr Lim in response to a question by Mr Gan.
The minister left open the possibility that the ECT's scope could be expanded in future, even as he said it is not meant to be "so comprehensive that it solves all problems" .
It's not our intention to make ECT so comprehensive that it solves all problems because the ECT is meant to be a cheaper, better, faster way of resolving disputes. Cheaper - must be highly affordable. Better - because it must be able to help more and more employees, including those not covered by the Employment Act, to have access to the ECT. And lastly faster. We want the dispute to be resolved as quickly as possible.
"The ECT is meant to be a cheaper, better, faster way of resolving disputes," he said, using a phrase coined in 2009 when he was labour chief. It must be highly affordable, able to help more employees, and be able to resolve disputes as quickly as possible, he said.
Before claims can be heard at the ECT, all parties will have to go through mediation. Indicating that this seems the likely route for the majority of cases, Mr Lim noted that over 90 per cent of Labour Court claims were resolved during mediation. The request for mediation must be made within one year after the claim arises, or within six months if the employment relationship has ended. There will be no legal representation.
Parliament yesterday also passed an amendment to the Industrial Relations Act, which will allow more union members to use the existing Tripartite Mediation Framework.
It now covers PME union members earning less than $4,500 a month in non-unionised companies. The salary cap is removed and rank-and-file workers will be able to use the framework.

Q: Unable to install new software/check for updates eclipse I'm trying to install subclipse on my desktop so i can use subversion.
When I was at school with my laptop, the installation worked well and i was able to update and commit on the subversion, but, while i was at home, i tried to update and nothing worked. Then I tried on my desktop to install the subclipse plugin without success.
When I go to "Help>install new software>Work With Kepler - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler"
Nothing appears on the software view except "pending..."
The thing I don't understand is that i'm not using a proxy at home, so i don't understand why it's freezing at this step.
Then, I tried to change my eclipse version but it didn't worked
I also tried to change my network settings without success
Anyone had the same problem before or know how to fix it ?
EDIT 1 : While waiting for the pending thing to resolv i had an error :
"Unable to read repository at http: //download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler/content.xml.
Unable to read repository at http: //download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler/content.xml.
Connection has been shut down"

A: I solved a similar issue today with a new eclipse Kepler installation on a machine with Java 7. We eventually got it to work by having eclipse run on a Java 6 JRE instead.
To do this, add
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe

Above the -vmargs line in your eclipse.ini file (which should be next to your eclipse.exe)

A: Looks like you have extra whitespace between : and /

Former premiership Hawks take aim at Kennett board
By Jake Niall
Former Hawthorn premiership players James Morrissey and Bruce Stevenson are part of a campaign, including a website, GoFundMe page and a paid political operative, aimed at changing the composition of Jeff Kennett's Hawthorn board.
The group, "Hawks for Change", are backing ex-Australian Super boss Ian Silk and former premiership player and board member Andy Gowers, in their expected bids to win berths on Kennett's board, with the group nursing the hope that their election will loosen Kennett's grip on the nine-member board.

The group have also engaged the services of Stephen Donnelly, who once worked for the state ALP as a political organiser.
Bill Shannon, well-known for advertising campaigns on behalf of industry superannuation and chair of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Lyn Sutton, head of women's coterie group, the Thornbirds, are also part of the group pushing for change at board level. The group's GoFundMe page has gained pledges of nearly $14,000 since it launched on Wednesday, with a target of $100,000.
Kennett, however, is directly elected by the membership under the club's constitution, rather than by a majority of his board, the situation at most clubs - raising a question mark on whether a change in board composition is sufficient to hasten his exit.
He has two years to run on his presidency, with the group hoping to create a more democratic board.
Kennett has the strong support of a majority of the club board, having returned to lead the Hawks late in 2017 following the sacking of chief executive Tracey Gaudry and the subsequent resignation of Richard Garvey as president.

The Hawthorn president has spoken to both Silk, who stepped down from his role as chief executive of Australian Super this year, and to Gowers, who is backed by a number of past players and served on the club board from 2013 until 2017, after club great Jason Dunstall stepped down.
The Hawks for change say they will push for further change at board level, beyond this year, and say their group includes members of Hawthorn's coteries such as the Confreres, 3122, the Thornbirds and the Hawthorn Foundation.
Morrissey, who played in Hawthorn's 1988, 1989 and 1991 premierships, has been a vocal opponent of Kennett and of his board's decision to remove senior coach Alastair Clarkson, of Kennett's criticisms of the state government at the annual general meeting, and of what Morrissey says are "double standards" in relation to pokies and the club's reliance on gaming.
Stevenson served on the club board from 2012 until 2017 and played in the club's 1971 premiership. He remains close to a number of players from that era.
Kennett, however, is directly elected by the membership under the club's constitution, rather than by a majority of his board, the situation at most clubs.
Kennett has endorsed the re-election of board member Tim Shearer, the president of Old Scotch in the amateurs, and for ex-player Simon Taylor to be elected to fill the vacancy created by Radek Sali, the ex-CEO of vitamin company Swisse, who has decided to step down.
Lyn Sutton, spokeswoman for Hawks for Change, said: "Hawks for Change is a member group that draws on people from all parts of the club. The one big say we can have about the direction of our club is who is on the board. Today we have launched a website - www.hawksforchange.org - and we are asking all Hawthorn members and supporters to register.
"As a group, we have seen Ian Silk and Andy Gowers put up their hands for election. They look like the exact kind of people we need, but they are probably not the only ones."

Firm Secures Million Dollar Settlement in Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Malpractice Case 1.1 Million Settlement
$750,000 Settlement for Victim of Cut Bowel From Botched Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Our Virginia medical malpractice law firm represented a woman whose surgeon skipped a standard step in abdominal surgery and left her facing life-threatening infections and in need of several follow-up surgeries.
Botched Hysterectomy Leads to $750,000 Settlement Our Virginia-based medical malpractice law firm represented the woman who suffered injuries to both of her ureters when a surgeon failed to properly operate a surgical robot.
I will always be so appreciative for this legal team's hard work and dedication while representing me. Brenda F.
They made the whole process easy for me and the case was settled and paid out quicker than I anticipated Molly A.
I would highly recommend Jim and his firm to anyone who needs legal representation. Sandra
Virginians Fight for Patient's Rights in Healthcare Reform Bill
Virginia families who lost loved ones due to medical malpractice and negligence gathered together to profess their desire to see a preservation and expansion of patient's rights in the new healthcare reform bill, according to Fox Business.com.
Patient's rights have been under attack disguised as a call for major "tort reform." This is such a fallacy, it borders on laughable. Instead of focusing on the real problem: nearly 100,000 people dying every year due to preventable medical errors, critics of health reform decry lawyers who represent victims of these errors and think limiting the amount an individual can obtain in a medical malpractice lawsuit will magically drive down our health care costs (not true, medical malpractice lawsuits account for less than 2 percent of health care costs).
"Many families have been devastated due to medical negligence," said Lisa Searcy of Scottsville, Virginia (VA) who lost her 4-year-old daughter from a surgical error. "The way to solve the problem of medical malpractice is to focus on patient safety and reducing errors, not taking away our rights."
I cannot agree more. I've represented multiple families in court and seen the tragic ramifications of medical negligence. People can have their lives practically ruined by these medical and surgical errors. They have every right to seek justice in a court of law.
I know it's easy to ridicule lawyers (until you need one) but before you proclaim the necessity for major tort reform, think about what it would actually entail.
I agree some areas of tort law would benefit from revision, but restricting patient's rights and their ability to seek justice when they, or a loved one, has been seriously injured is simply unacceptable. Think about Lisa Searcy. The same tragedy could happen to you.


Fall is in the air, which means Starbucks is rolling out their seasonal drinks, including the Pumpkin Spice Latte. But you don't need to head to your local Starbucks to get this delectable drink. Become your own barista and make it at home! Today we're showing you how to make your own DIY Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte.
Start by mixing ONE cup of sugar and ONE cup of water into a saucepan, you're basically just making syrup!
Bring the sugar water to a low boil and then reduce the heat.
Stir in TWO tablespoons of pumpkin puree and TWO teaspoon of pumpkin spices together.
Keep the syrup to a simmer and occasionally stir.
Bring the saucepan off the heat and let the syrup cool for 15 minutes.
Heat up 1/2 cup brewed coffee and 2 cups milk. Add in syrup.
DONE! It smells SOOO divine!
Fall is in the air, which means Starbucks is rolling out their seasonal drinks, including the Pumpkin Spice Latte. But you don't need to head to your local Starbucks to get this delectable drink. Become your own barista and make it at home!
Start by mixing ONE cup of sugar and ONE cup of water into a saucepan, you're basically just making syrup!
Heat up ½ cup brewed coffee and 2 cups milk. Add in syrup.
Summer — Ha! I'm a complete Starbucks addict myself. Let em know if you try this recipe. I can't wait to hear how it turns out for someone else.
So many people have said they're going to give this recipe a try. I can't wait to hear everyone's feedback!
Oh, no, that's why pumpkin spice lattes are so delicious – 1 cup of sugar! Yikes! I do love my PSLs though!
A shocker, right! When we don't make things, it's always surprising to find out what's inside. But I do LOVE the lattes!
That sounds amazing!! I will have to give this a try!
I am making this right now. Any thoughts on how long to simmer? Or how much to add to espresso to make it an actual latte? Thanks for the idea!
Simple syrup- Sugar andWater- simmer for 3-5 minutes. Same for this except you are adding spices.
Have a great weekend and I hope to see you again next week.
My taste buds are tingling. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
Oh yum!!! Will have to try this!
I wonder if it can be made with splenda? I have a diabetic in the house.
I don't know why you couldn't make it with Splenda. They have a version that you can use in baking so I know it can withstand the temperatures.
Sooo maybe I'm an absolute idiot.. But what do you do after you've made the syrup?
Sorry. You're the first one to actually point that out! Guess everyone already has their coffee and milk in hand. Ha!
what about frappachino would you just add ice and blend?
This is delicious! I made the spice mix and added it to regular coffee and skim milk. I made several batches and canned them for friends, and I will be making a lot more of it because everyone is asking for refills! Bravo, and thanks for sharing this amazing recipe. PS- it tastes great in tea, as well!
Yeah! So glad you liked it. And canning it… I never would have thought of that. What an awesome idea!!!!
I just amended my grocery list! I can not wait to try this! Thank you so much for sharing!
Ha! Have fun and definitely come back to tell me what you think!
How long do you summer for?
I mean simmer:) autocorrect sorry!
This sounds amazing! The best thing is that your ingredients are all-natural!
Absolutely! And you're going to love the recipe. It's a reader favorite by far!
What should I do with leftover syrup? Refrigerate or room temperature? Thanks!
And by the way, this recipe is perfect!
Personally, I would refrigerate. And did you make the recipe? Isn't it delish!?!
I love flavored coffees. I just started learning how to make my own. The store-bought versions are out of my budget these days.
I must be the only one to never have tried one of these. Glad I can make my own.
LOL… there may be a couple of other people who haven't tried one yet 😉 But trust me. You're going to love this recipe.
I am so excited about this. Adding the ingredients to my grocery list to try this weekend!
Not to toot my own horn…. but it is. It will definitely become a fall/winter favorite for you 😀 Enjoy!
So pleased you like the recipe. And I completely understand using a little less sugar. The original is sweet but some people prefer it less so.
This looks amazing and I may have to give up sleep tonight by having this caffeinated yumminess before bed!
So. Just to clarify. 1 cup of sugar to 1/2 cup of coffee is ridiculous. This MUST be a typo right?
I would think this makes a Pumkin Spice base and then add it to the coffee??? Unless you are a human-fly hybrid, and in that case never mind and enjoy!!!
Actually, Jon. Most of the drink is made up of water and milk. (1 cup water, 2 cups milk) and then the coffee adds the needed coffee flavor. But this drink, while considered a coffee drink, certainly isn't made up mostly of coffee!
I love Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte and can't wait to try your recipe. I've already have it pinned. Thanks for sharing…stopping by from Inspire Me Monday.
Ooooo Im going to the Bucks tomorrow, but I'm pinning this so that when I need my pumpkin latte fix at home, I can look this up and bring the Bucks into my own kitchen. Thanks for sharing, pinned!
I love this – I make a spiced pumpkin latte, too, but I really like the idea of the syrup. Thanks for sharing this roundup to Throwback Thursday!
This recipe is SO DELICIOUS!! I made it this morning.
I just recently got hooked on PSL's so this is perfect! And saves me money!
I know what you mean! I absolutely am hooked on Starbucks Chai Lattes — need them the whole year round. So I figured out how to make them at home and get my "special treat" on the weekends.
I was going to make this for a large group- 9 people. Could I go ahead and make the sugar/ water/ pumpkin puree and spices blend ahead of time? Would I refrigerate it? It would be easier to add the coffee and milk at the last minute and serve to guests. Thanks!
You could make it ahead of time… but I would make it the morning of and definitely refrigerate it. Enjoy and let me know how the group likes it!
Huge pumpkin spice fan! Tried this recipe but It was too sweet for my taste I just wanted more pumpkin! I did it a second time and used a half cup of pumpkin purée and 3 tablespoons of spice and then used a cheese cloth to strain without the excess pumpkin "pulp" and fell in love!
I made it taste like the real thing, the only think I'm doing differently next time is using less sugar it was a little too sweet for me but still yummy??
Am I suppose to use all the syrup for 1 cup?
It's really up to what you like for the taste….

2019 World Series has been a stinker compared with recent Fall Classics
Written By Ryan Fagan
@ryanfagan

HOUSTON — We have been spoiled in recent years, as baseball fans.
The World Series has produced a set of compelling, dramatic and even historic competitions. Three of the past five Fall Classics — 2014, 2016, 2017 — have been pushed to the full seven-game limit, and even the ones that ended early — 2013, 2015, 2018 — were packed with close contests that went down to the wire, often ending in extra innings.
And then we have the 2019 World Series, which has been pretty "blah" in comparison. That, admittedly, feels like a strange thing to say for a best-of-seven playoff that has reached its sixth game and could very well be stretched to the limit if the Nationals win tonight (and with Stephen Strasburg on the mound, that's certainly possible).
MORE: Bad ball/strike calls in Game 5 highlight need for "robot umps"
It's not that the Astros and Nationals have played contests completely devoid of drama. They've just been mostly devoid of drama. Aside from the opener — the Nationals built a 5-2 lead and held on for a one-run victory — the eighth and ninth innings have lacked any real sort of "who will win" uncertainty. The seventh inning of Game 2 was, by far, the most stunning moment of the series, when the Nationals scored six runs to take control of the contest and secure their second win in Houston in as many days.
But in Washington? Houston was the better team, in every facet. The Astros outscored the Nationals 19-3, in Games 3-5. Alex Bregman produced more runs in one swing of the bat — with his Game 4 grand slam — than the Nationals produced in 27 innings.
The most compelling part of those three games was guessing how the Nationals would manage to squander runners-on-second-and-third scoring opportunities. Would they strike out? Pop out? Ground out? Hit the ball hard right at somebody? They elevated failure to an art form, going 1-for-21 with runners in scoring position in those three games.
So here we are, with Game 6 rapidly approaching, waiting for — hoping for — the type of drama we've seen so often recently in late October. This series does have one unique element, of course: The road team has won every game. That's fun, but not really compelling.
And we miss compelling, so let's rank the World Series of this decade, by how compelling/dramatic they were to watch.
1. 2011 World Series
Why it's here: Because Game 6 has a special place in World Series history. The Cardinals were twice down to their final strike, and twice came through to extend the game. First, it was David Freese's two-RBI triple in the ninth. Then it was Lance Berkman's RBI single in the 10th. And then, yeah, Freese ended the game with a walk-off solo home run in the 11th. Even the lone blowout in the series — the Cardinals' 16-7 win in Game 3 — featured a three-home run performance by Albert Pujols.
Why it's here: Two franchises — the Cubs and Indians — that hadn't won a series in a generation, going to extra innings in Game 7? How can you beat that? Oh, and the Cubs rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to claim the title by winning the final two games on the road.
Why it's here: Two extra-inning contests, each of the first six games decided by two runs or fewer. More "no way that just happened" home runs than any sane person can remember. The only reason it's not No. 1 or 2 is because Charlie Morton dominated Game 7, taking the drama out of the end of an amazing series.
Why it's here: Because Madison Bumgarner was better than any pitcher has ever been in a single World Series (one run allowed in 21 innings), and because we almost saw a game-tying inside-the-park home run by Alex Gordon with two outs in the ninth inning of Game 7. It's lower than the other seven-game series because only two of the contests — Games 3 and 7 — were decided by fewer than five runs.
Why it's here: Even though he didn't win the MVP award, David Price was the series standout. The lefty cast off his playoff demons and pitched brilliantly in Boston wins in Games 2 and 5. Game 3 lasted 18 innings and more than seven hours — after the teams traded runs in the 13th — and ended on a Max Muncy walk-off homer. In Game 4, the Red Sox trailed the Dodgers 4-0, heading into the seventh inning and wound up winning 9-6. This five-game series had everything but length.
Why it's here: The Cardinals took a 2-1 series lead, but the Red Sox won the next three to wrap up the series in six games. Four of those contests — Games 2/3/4/5 — were all decided by just one or two runs.
Why it's here: Game 1 set the tone for a series full of late-inning heroics. The Royals tied it in the ninth and won it in the 14th. In Game 4, the Royals scored three in the eight to beat the Mets, 5-3. In Game 5, Matt Harvey was brilliant for eight shutout innings, but faltered in the ninth — Mets manager Terry Collins was criticized heavily for bringing him back out — as the Royals scored two to send the game to extras. They piled on five in the 12th to clinch the title.
Why it's here: For all the aforementioned reasons. Could climb as high as No. 5, though, if Games 6 and 7 are particularly compelling. If the Astros win Game 6 like they won Games 3/4/5, it stays here.
Why it's here: This one started with a surprise — the Giants chased Tigers ace Justin Verlander after just four innings, with a pair of homers and five runs — in Game 1. And San Francisco produced just enough offense the rest of the way to support a brilliant effort by the pitching staff, finishing the sweep with wins by scores of 2-0, 2-0 and 4-3 (in 10 innings).
10. 2010 World Series
Why it's here: The Giants outscored the Rangers 27-8 in their four victories, and seven of those eight Texas runs came in Game 1, an 11-7 loss. Tim Lincecum was brilliant in the Game 5 clincher, striking out 10 and allowing just three hits and a run in eight innings. Oh, and Madison Bumgarner gave us a sneak peak at what was to come in 2012 and 2014, throwing eight shutout innings in his Game 4 win.

Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett Packard, famously stated, "Everything that can be digitized will be digitized." This statement has become the writing on the wall for entire industries, including transportation and logistics. This serves as an ominous warning to those who are too late in recognizing and adapting to technological developments—and may soon find they are no longer relevant to their markets.
The opportunities for digitized logistics are huge. The disruptions are so comprehensive and so complex that the exact implications are difficult to forecast, but the task for carriers, logistics service providers and all service providers in the industry must be to shape the changes in their field quickly and consistently to gain competitive advantage.
Don't be deceived about the speed of change. The IT industry is extremely transient and innovations are being developed rapidly. Exponential increase in computing power and the development of software is producing solutions that would have been considered science fiction only a short time ago. The availability of information on the internet, satellite-based vehicle navigation, smartphones, big data, self-teaching systems and autonomous driving were all impossibly far in the future only twenty years ago, but are now reality.
Industry is already thinking in greater dimensions in this field. What effect will the technical possibilities have on the way we manage processes today? What new business models, such as the recent development of 3D printing, are possible? Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard, head of Trucks & Buses at Daimler AG, foresees completely new business options in the networking and connection of trucks to the cloud and for all involved in the new era of digitized logistics — manufacturers, carriers, workshops or even government authorities. "The truck is a data gold mine and real-time data are essential for business success in logistics," says Dr. Berhard. Completely new market opportunities are opening for logistics, such as spare parts supply as a link between manufacturer and user. UPS has already equipped the first stores in the U.S. with 3D printers.
The fact that shippers, manufacturers and trade industries are moving ahead with digitalization, and carriers and logistics service providers are following is primarily due to the nature of the different fields. Industry and commerce issue the orders, they determine processes and they set the framework conditions by their structures. LTL and FTL carriers have many different customers, an in-house fleet and subcontractors that add complexity to their operations, which can be viewed as a handicap. On the other hand, there is an immense potential for optimization and actual cash returns on investment.
If the carrier could access the data of a completely digitized fleet—not only for company vehicles, but also for all subcontractors and charter vehicles—and had the ability to process that data, the carrier's profits and competitive position would be greatly improved, empty trips could be avoided, the positions of vehicles would be known at all times, and customer service would be more flexible and more efficient.
This requires collaboration. The optimization is implemented between the companies in the process. Industry, commerce and service providers must all cooperate to achieve this. They must be prepared to share data and establish transparency. Virtually everything is technically possible today, such as transportation management with end-to-end visibility, management of dock scheduling with real-time vehicle control, yard management, digital proof of delivery, invoicing, damage documentation, pallet handling, automated order assignment and more.
We will continue to show you the options already available and those we are developing for the future. As established service providers for the industry, we are concentrating on the areas with the greatest potential for market justification and increased efficiency. This includes communications between shipper and carrier with reference to empty miles, wait times and logistics costs in general.
In many cases, carriers have implemented a vast amount of changes—and the results are clear: A shipper who achieves faster throughput by digitized logistics methods such as dock scheduling will find that the project, in most cases, will pay for itself within a few weeks. Carriers profit from improved planning and the costs of investment in hardware—such as smartphones and ELDs, system implementation and training—are quickly repaid.

Q: How to add a custom field to form in Umbraco I want to add a custom field to my form using Umbraco UI (not by code), I created a new type (label on my case)in Developer section, and when I'm on my form and choosing a field to edit my new custome label isn't on my options..
//mylabel - need to add to my form
[
//the options I get to add to my form - mylabel isn't one of them.. how can I get it ?

A: It looks like you're trying to create a new custom input type (field type) to use on an Umbraco Form.
Umbraco Forms does not use the normal Umbraco Data Types (as can be found in the developer section).
You can read up on how to do make a new field type here.
