Trump, during his recent trip to Saudi Arabia, accused Tehran of spearheading global terror. Along with Saudi King Salman he called for the Islamic Republic to be shunned.
"From Lebanon to Iraq to Yemen, Iran funds, arms and trains terrorists, militias and other extremist groups that spread destruction and chaos across the region," Trump said.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi dismissed the accusations during a press briefing.
"These improper, incorrect and irrelevant positions of certain countries are nothing new and they try to project the blame on others and such remarks are unbelievable and unacceptable," he said.
According to the Fars news agency, Qassemi also questioned how Tehran could be a sponsor of terror when it had just recently proven to the world its democratic bona fides with its presidential elections.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claimed Saturday that Saudi Arabia's monarchy faces "certain downfall" for aligning itself with the US and that its regime could be toppled sooner rather than later.
"They will be gone, they can be toppled and can perish [or be destroyed]… there is no doubt about it… it is certain that it will happen," Khamnei said during a religious gathering in comments translated from Persian.
Khamenei also said that Saudi Arabia is a "cow being milked" by the United States, a week after the kingdom signed an $110 billion weapons deal with Trump during his visit last Saturday. Private sector and other agreements with the US totaled some $350 billion.
Majority Shiite Iran and predominantly Sunni Saudi Arabia support opposite sites in the conflicts in Syria, Yemen and elsewhere in the Middle East.
India on Saturday test-fired the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, which is 'capable' of carrying a warhead of 300kg, from a test range along the Odisha coast, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
The cruise missile was test fired from a mobile launcher from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur near Balasore in Odisha at about 11.33am, the news service quoted unnamed officials of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) as saying. "It was an 'excellent' launch and a great success," they said.
The PTI reported that the supersonic missile was capable of carrying a warhead of 300kg. "The two-stage missile, one being solid and the second one ramjet liquid propellant, has already been inducted into the army and navy, while the air force version is in final stage of trial," the officials said. The Indian Army is already equipped with three regiments of Block III version of Brahmos missiles.
On Thursday, Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria said in Islamabad that India's massive arms build-up and testing of inter-continental ballistic missiles was a source of concern for the region. However, Pakistan would not indulge in the arms race, he said. "Pakistan will maintain minimum deterrence capability to safeguard its national security," he said.
"India's massive arms buying spree, making it one of the top arms importers in the world, was driven by its desire for regional hegemony and global power status," he said. On the other hand, Pakistan had been compelled to acquire and maintain a deterrent capability to ensure its national security, he said, adding that Pakistan never wanted to engage in any kind of arms race, nuclear or conventional.
Several international reports and independent observers had drawn attention to the rapid expansion in India's capability to produce fissile material for military use, which had been made possible by the 2008 NSG waiver granted to India without appropriate non-proliferation safeguards and the subsequent nuclear deals struck with different countries.
In February, the Foreign Office urged the international community to check Indian conventional and nuclear arms build-up that had caused strategic anxiety in the region. "With conventional weapons balance already disturbed, India's nuclear weapons build-up has dangerous proportions to tip the strategic balance and endanger peace of the region and beyond," he said.
The emanating threat to peace of Indian Ocean is mainly due to the nuclearization initiated by Indians. Out of which, the chief elements or the challenges to peace in the ocean that could be counted among are listed as its militarization, increased missile capabilities, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and power projection by foreign militaries, in addition to piracy, illegal fishing, human, drugs and arms smuggling, maritime pollution and climate change.
The Indian Ocean, geo-strategically is present at the world's most fundamental part. It is the third largest oceanic division of the world and commands strategically important sea lanes of communication (SLOCs) that link the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia with Europe, East Asia, and the US. Around 80 percent of the world's energy trade passes through the choke points of this region.
Pakistan is concerned with the alarming modernization of India's exasperated capabilities with regards to its missile and nuclear weapons. It would be pertinent to mention here that with the demonstration of the test launch of the K-4 submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) on March 31, 2016, India's movement towards fielding an undersea deterrent is well taken. It was an indigenously built nuclear-powered submarine, the INS Arihant.
Due to the India's 'unrestrained behavior', it became necessary for Pakistan to take a step forward towards a sea-based deterrent. Therefore, for this reason, Pakistan decided over an equivalent measure and successfully test-fired a nuclear-capable submarine-launched cruise missile, Babur-III on January 9, 2017, that is considered a compelled step.
A statement issued by the Foreign Office states, "The reported Indian tests of a submarine-launched ballistic missile and development of a nuclear submarine fleet are serious developments, which impact the delicate strategic balance in the region. It has resulted in the nuclearization of the Indian Ocean." India wants to exercise its supremacy in the whole region by its nuclearization of Indian Ocean. It will certainly exacerbate the already fragile strategic balance in South Asia.
There is another concern gaining hype nowadays regarding the un-demarcated borders in the Sir Creek. Pakistan has to be more careful about defending its borders, land or sea routes because if the communication link with the vessel is disrupted, it could prove to be extremely risky. Consequently, a good amount of naval pressure is necessary to keep our sea lanes open and safe. Nevertheless, the Sir Creek border issue has a potential to cast a shadow on the maritime security.
Projection of military and nuclear power into the seas will grip the region into an arms race and inevitably place it at the risk of a nuclear showdown. Mr. Aziz said that the Indian navy's substantial expansion was a cause for concern for Pakistan and that Pakistan has a strategic stake in the peaceful navigation and security of the Indian Ocean region.
Ironically, India is heading day by day towards boosting massively its missile, conventional and unconventional capabilities. Pakistan has declared its intention of highlighting the dangerous implications of India's plans to nuclearize the Indian Ocean at all relevant international fora through a press release issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Last but not the least, India is playing a dangerous game in pursuit of achieving the status of a great power and regional hegemony. As a result, it is the collective responsibility of all the involving states to share the burden to maintain security in the region keeping and acknowledging it as a common goal.
DRDO hands over to Army recce vehicle to counter chemical, biological hits too.
New Delhi: The strong possibility that chemical weapons were used in Wednesday's attacks in Afghanistan has brought the dangerous reality to India's doorsteps. Pakistan's growing arsenal of strategic and tactical nuclear weapons and the declared intent of terror outfits like Al Qaeda, Taliban and ISIS to acquire non-conventional weapons, including chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, has resonated very strongly in India and rapid steps are already underway to combat such attacks, be it from state or non-state actors.
Significantly on Thursd-ay itself, the state-owned Defence Research and De-velopment Organisation (DRDO) handed over to the Army the NBC (nuc-lear, biological and chemical) Recce Vehicle which is all set to be deployed.
Resembling a battle tank and equipped with GPS navigation, meteorological sensors and radiation sensors, the NBC Recce Vehicle is capable of conducting effective reconnaissance of radiological and chemically contaminated areas, demarcation of contaminated zones, real-time communication of digital data after analysing the solid and liquid samples to the supported formation.
"The utility of the NBC Recce Vehicle goes beyond warfare and will prove to be indispensable in any NBC disaster situation too," said a source who has worked on the development of the vehicle.
Going beyond, the DRDO has also introduced a bouquet of radio-protectors and radio-mitigator drugs that are required to reduce the effects of gamma irradiation substantially in the aftermath of a nuclear, chemical and biological attack.
In a nuclear disaster, a person is exposed to gam-ma radiations. In high dos-es, radiation syndromes can kill in hours to days to a few months, while in low doses, genetic and cancer disorders may result.
Radio-protectors and radio-mitigator drugs are required to reduce the effects of gamma irradiation substantially. The drugs have been put to Drug Controller General for special approvals, while provisioning to Indian armed forces has already started as these are life-saving drugs.
"The DRDO has also provided a NBC kit to the Indian defence forces although it has been segregated into elements for field use and in the hospital on the advice of the Army authorities," said a top DRDO official on condition of anonymity.
Washington: A top US general has said it is difficult to destroy the "enemy" in Afghanistan if terror groups like the Haqqani network and Taliban have sanctuaries in Pakistan.
"When an enemy enjoys sanctuary like that, it's very difficult to defeat them," General John "Mick" Nicholson, who has been nominated by the Pentagon as Commander of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan, told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, during confirmation hearing yesterday.
Nicholson said he views the terrorist safe havens inside Pakistan as a serious problem.
"This (terrorist safe havens) has been one of the principal challenges. It's a sanctuary that our enemies, in particular the Haqqani Network, have enjoyed inside Pakistan," he said responding to a question from Senator John McCain, Chairman of the Senate Committee.
Critical of the Af-Pak policy of the Obama Administration, McCain also demanded an immediately halt to US troop withdrawals and eliminate any target date for withdrawal.
Responding to the question, Nicholson said it is difficult to defeat the Taliban and Haqqani network when they enjoy terrorist safe haven, and as such, it is important to "enlist" Pakistan in the fight against terrorism.
"In this case, Pakistan, to go after those sanctuaries, and then the other important piece is to build up the defence capacity of the Afghans so that they can keep that level of violence down to a manageable level," the general said.
Earlier, in a written response to questions, Nicholson asked Pakistan to take persistent action against the Taliban, particularly the Haqqani Network.
"Pakistan's pressure on the Taliban combined with its support to the reconciliation process are mutually reinforcing," he added.
Haqqani network, which is linked to al-Qaeda has also been blamed for several deadly attacks against Western and Indian interests in Afghanistan, including the 2008 bombing of the Indian mission in Kabul.

Mumble is voice chat software that can be used by any type of group but is tailored for gamers who enjoy chatting while gaming. It has an ingame overlay for DirectX9 and OpenGL based games and shows clearly who is speaking even when using full screen applications. This is a feature that most chatting software lacks and is what gamers have been asking for.
Gamers have had concerns about delays with other chat software. This presents a major problem when a gamer is asking advice and needs a quick response. Mumble has a much shorter delay and better implementation of Speex than most other software. In fact, it is based on the new Speex codec that has significantly lower memory needs and much better sound quality. Since it doesn't demand so much memory, gaming is smoother and the chatting process doesn't interfere with the game play.
Mumble comes with plug-in support to positional audio in games and also has a plug-in for Battlefield 2, one of the most recently popular games. The installer has Mumble as the client and the server Murmur. Murmer is the server that insures secure communication and full extensibility. It also has voice preprocessing and low latency that removes noise and improves voice clarity. The Murmur server delivers quality that is superior to many chat applications currently in use.
Mumble supports a number of popular game title including Battlefield 2, Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty 2 and 4, and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

The Bachelor: You Can't Dump Me, I Quit Edition
I prepped for tonight's recap by watching Olympic coverage all day, leaving me particularly susceptible to foreign men with accents (and also allowing me to see the results of the ice dance competition before this episode airs). But that's not to say I've had my fill of drama! Here's hoping Juan Pablo's fading suitors (suitresses?) give us something good to chew on.
As we were told last week, the next glamorous port of call is going to be JP's hometown of Miami, which has to be a bit of a letdown after New Zealand, no? The previews promise us the world, but they've lied to us before. What's it gonna be, show? Chris Harrison, take us away…
JP's first stop in Miami is to see Camila, and he's planning to "surprise" her. Because the cameramen waiting in her home weren't a hint. She is overjoyed, and then we get a montage of happy-family-times. Meanwhile, the girls are all in a limo together, speculating on whether they'll meet JP's family since they're in Miami. Clare has a crazysauce smile, like her face is actually stretched too tightly around her skull.
The women check into their newest palatial suite, where boxes of product-placed, tiny bikinis await them. There is squealing…except from Sharleen, who tells us that she still has doubts, and at this point is not ready to introduce JP to her family. Cut to JP, telling his family all about Sharleen. Dude, it's never going to work between you two.
Back at the hotel, JP arrives to hand-deliver the date card to…Sharleen. She takes it with confusion, not understanding that it's the solo date card, and JP has to chivvy her along so she'll get ready. Clare takes umbrage at her lack of enthusiasm. Although they only have 10 minutes, Sharleen still has time to brood on a balcony and worry that they don't have a "mental connection" to complement their physical one. She says that if she still doesn't feel it by the end of this date, she needs to go.
Once they're gone, the other girls express their bafflement that JP and Sharleen are having any kind of relationship. Apparently she's told the women that her type is intellectual/nerdy, and they're all flummoxed that the two of them have anything to talk about.
Well, they can start by talking about the luxury yacht that is the site of their date! They're reclining among pillows on the…foredeck? bow? something. JP is macking on her and Sharleen is grinning, but she seems to want to talk more than kiss. There's a long, stupid "flirtation" where she tells him he's trouble and he says, "What do you mean I'm trouble" about a thousand times. I'll give you a hint, JP–it means she thinks you're hot, but that doesn't make up for the fact that you're dumb.
Back at the ranch, the women are still trying to solve the puzzle of Sharleen, and Nikki points out that Sharleen's life as a world-traveling opera singer doesn't seem conducive to settling down with a man who has a young daughter. Andi offers (skeptically) that perhaps Sharleen is willing to give all that up, but no one seems like they believe it.
So how convenient that Sharleen now wants to talk to JP about the importance of her career. By which she means, apparently, that her career has been very important to her, but "she likes change, she's good with change." She has not said, "I will quit my job" or "I want to settle down and raise a kid with you" or even "I'm falling for you." JP, however, appears to have heard all of those things.
Now it's evening, and Sharleen has changed into a dress that has a back! Oh, but wait, the back (and a stripe across the collarbone) is made of illusion netting, so it's sort of like backless anyway. There's more reclining and smooching, and JP tells us in an interview that he really wants to meet her parents. Too bad Sharleen doesn't want to introduce you, bro. Sharleen, in her own talking head, says that "It's so hard not to kiss him when I'm near him that…it disturbs me. We should be able to have a conversation." Back on the boat, JP's actually asking Sharleen how she feels about bringing him home, which is an interesting turn of events–the Bachelor is more worried than the contestant.
Sharleen is hedging about the fact that she doesn't really want to bring him home, and says tellingly, "I wish I were just a little bit dumber" (so she doesn't have to think about it, I guess). OK, we get it–do you listen to your head or your huminahumina?
Back in the hotel, it looks like the women haven't left the couch! But a new date card has arrived to stir them up. This one says: "Nikki: Listen to my heart beat." Nikki, grinning, says, "I'm going to have to dance again?" Clare is of course appalled that someone so negative should still be getting any attention, but it seems clear to me that Nikki's being self-deprecating.
Sharleen comes home from her date and goes to talk to Mama Renee–she wanted to feel excited about bringing JP home to meet her family, and she just doesn't feel sure. She thinks she shouldn't take a hometown spot from another girl if she isn't feeling it, but Renee tells her she has to think about what she wants. I am tired of Sharleen being this torn about the whole thing. Girl, you know it would never work long-term, so why belabor it? Call it a night. OH–unless she's trying to hold out for the Fantasy Suite because she really wants to know what sex with this guy would be like?
[Commercial break–can we talk about how annoying this Subway campaign about the Fritos is? I refuse to believe there are snack-obsessed people all around who are singing paeans to putting Fritos on their subs. And couldn't they just, y'know, buy some Fritos if they wanted them? Cruncha muncha my foot.]
It's the next day, and Nikki meets JP on the beach, dressed in some sort of shower curtain. Oh, Nikki, you have the worst taste. They go to a flower store first, to make a flower arrangement today…because they need one for the surprise he has planned later that day. They're bringing the flowers to Camila's dance recital! Which means that not only is Nikki going to meet JP's daughter, but also his mom and dad. She is honored and a little staggered. I am unimpressed with the florist, who ties a bow around these mixed flowers but doesn't wrap it all in plastic! WTF, florist? Nikki's super-nervous (not unreasonably), and we just see her walking into the gym before we cut back to the hotel.
The remaining women get the group date card, which reads "My hometown for yours." It includes a reminder from Chris Harrison that there's a rose on the date, and the woman who gets that rose will automatically advance to the hometown dates and introduce JP to her family.
Camila and her dance class strut out and begin their performance–JP waves at Camila, who rolls her eyes like a practiced teenager. Camila seems unfazed by the appearance of a strange blond lady at her dad's side. Nikki is grinning like crazy and speaks nicely to Camila, who's polite but uninterested. She has more presence than Emily's little Rikki, though. Also, I think that Camila's mom might be there too? There's an attractive brunette woman who didn't get introduced, but she might just be JP's sister? Nikki said she had a great time and could see herself fitting in fine with JP's family.
JP says the day went perfectly and now, "it is time for the night." They go to his "office," which turns out to be Marlins Stadium. Per form, Nikki is dressed like a cocktail waitress, in a tiny black fringed skirt and a white halter that's backless and cut down to her navel…so naturally they play catch. JP gets a little sweaty and then says he'd rather kiss Nikki than throw the ball, so they head to the infield, where surprisingly a picnic and pillows are just left there conveniently. I'd be slightly annoyed that they were recycling dates, since didn't they already do this in that other soccer stadium?
Aha! It WAS Camila's mom–Nikki is asking about how Carla feels about JP possibly remarrying (or maybe JP hooking up with an assortment of 20-something women?), and how Nikki might fit in. JP loves that she's thinking about how she can conform her life to his (OK, he doesn't say it like that, but still), and then it seems that a half-conversation is enough to call it a night and move on to more kissing. In a talking head, Nikki tells us that she's in love with JP, and that the day solidified her feelings for him.
Sharleen comes into the living room and says, "I need to talk to you guys." The women ask, "Why are you fancy?" Which is hilarious to me. (But she is dressed and coiffed, so the question is valid.) She tells them all that she's thought really seriously about it, but she has to leave. I think the fact that she's announcing her departure to the other women before JP is evidence that she's making the right call. The girls are sad and seem to genuinely like her, except Clare who has that stupid rictus of glee on her face.
Then Sharleen takes the long walk to JP's suite, and is crying-without-tears almost before she gets in the door. She won't look JP in the eyes, and tells him it's "excruciatingly difficult," but she doesn't see herself being proposal-ready in three weeks' time [BECAUSE YOU'RE NORMAL] even though she feels something genuine for him. JP seems completely unfazed by her confession and reassures her that it's OK. He gives her a big hug and sort of stops himself from going in for a kiss. He is, however, wiping away her tears in a weirdly intrusive manner while he holds her head, all the while telling her it's OK. After a raft of platitudes about how special she is, he sends her on her way and goes out to his brooding balcony (all good hotels have a brooding balcony, you know).
JP confirms to us that she was going to have a hometown, and then tells Sharleen (via interview) that she's an amazing girl, and she had guts to be honest with him and leave. He's crying in the interview, and I don't really understand what he's saying–something about being noticed and not appreciated, or vice versa? Sharleen gets in a taxi (no limo when you leave on your own!), and says that she's very sad, but "I just know that he doesn't have what I'm looking for in terms of a forever partner." Farewell, Sharleen! We'll always have Hobbiton.
Group date time! The women are sad to have lost Sharleen, but happy for the reduced competition. The four groupies are picked up by seaplane and taken to a beach somewhere. How do they all have ocean shoes? As they sit beneath an umbrella, JP points out the rose and tells the ladies that only the rose-winner will get the nighttime portion of the date, so the pressure's on.
First up for some one-on-one time is Chelsie, who pulls out a stack of notes (on cheerful bright stationery) that her mom gave her before she left for the show. They're pretty funny, actually; Mom's advice includes "2 drinks, maximum" and "keep your clothes ON." Then there's a note from her dad, saying, "Just do the opposite of whatever Mom said and have fun."
On the flip side, we have Andi's JP time, where she opens with "Get ready for a breakdown." She's cracking under the pressure, and JP clucks to her like she's a frightened horse. I'm getting a little sick of Andi's insecurity-leading-to-makeouts, but I suppose it's worked for her thus far. JP lets her talk it out a little and then tells her to relax, basically. She lightens up and tells him that he calms her down. I'm still seeing FriendZone here, I'm afraid.
Clare's turn! How are things on Team Bunnyboiler? JP asks her who he'd meet if she was one of his hometown dates, and she tells him that she's one of six girls. Oof, are they all like Clare? God forbid. She tells him that her late dad made a video before he passed away for the man she would one day marry, to tell Mystery Fiance how special Clare is. I find that equal parts sweet and gross. If she shows that video to JP, the needle tips all the way to gross. JP kisses Clare, but it's not a lingering makeout sesh.
Now the rain is coming in, and it's time for JP to give out the "meet the family" rose, which goes to…Andi! Wow, I didn't really see that coming. Neither did Clare, judging by her fake smile. She smiles widest when she's the most upset. In her talking head, she says, "I've been putting myself out there, and the people who are getting the roses are the people who are doubting themselves, who are not [bleeping] there for him." Swearing, Clare? For shame.
Andi is grinning from ear to ear, now that she's sure they's safe. And wait a minute, did I just miss Renee's solo time entirely? (I did go to the kitchen to get dinner; I guess it happened then?) Sorry, Renee.
Miami at night! Fancy cars, strangely empty sidewalks, and Andi in a teeny red dress, happily clutching her rose. JP takes them to a mostly-empty club, where a guy is onstage singing in Spanish. JP leads Andi right up to a walkway/stage/bar in the center of the room to start dancing…although I fear girlfriend has no rhythm. Either that or she can't move in her sky-high heels. Oh, she admits to the bad dancing herself. Fair enough. She's having a great time, though. Still don't know who the singer is, since I didn't pay attention to the marquee outside. Happiness is boring–let's go back to the suite.
Clare is still pissed about having been "kicked off the date," and then coming home to hang out with Nikki. The four of them hang out on the couch in silence, and then there's some awkward chitchat that somehow provokes Nikki to march back up to her room. Clare has decided this is bitchy, and goes after her. She asks Nikki what's up, and Nikki basically says she got the vibe that they were about to start talking shit about Andi, and she didn't want to hear it.
The conversation only gets stupider, including "This isn't your room." "Oh, do you sleep in here?" "Did you pay for it?" After some more posturing, Clare stalks off to the group, and Nikki sneers in a talking head. I'm more perplexed by the fact that the other women seem to have a frying pan on their hotel room bed.
Cocktail party time! No one is really talking to each other, and Chelsie notes that it's still awkward between Clare and Nikki, and even when Chelsie tries to draw her out with some idle chit chat, Nikki doesn't want to play along. Renee is getting very little screen time this episode…bad sign? Nikki and Andi are talking about how sick they are of the cocktail parties, and Nikki goes, "The people who have a rose are done, the people who don't are nervous…or not." In an interview, she says, "I have a rose. Oh, wait, I don't–but I pretty much do." Ugh, Nikki, not cute.
I'm surprised Nikki didn't tell them all that she met Camila–I would think telling Clare that would send her around the bend. Clare's smugging with Renee and Chelsie about how great it would be if they got the roses and Nikki didn't. Nikki's dreaming of the moment she can be rid of Clare, while Clare doesn't think Nikki's mature enough for this relationship. I don't understand why one of them doesn't GET UP OFF THE COUCH. I assume they're forced to remain there by producers. Man, I want to give them both iPhones so they can ignore each other more comfortably. To make things even more awkward, the producers just leave the camera on them, sitting in silence, for like 90 seconds straight.
Then Andi and Renee come back, followed by Chelsie, and finally JP to end this painful night. He can't handle the awkwardness either, but Chris comes to rescue him. It's time for roses! The women line up like an angry box of Crayolas in their brightly colored, skintight sheaths.
First rose goes to…Nikki! She cannot contain her cat-ate-the-canary grin, while Clare schools her features into neutrality. Just in time to get Rose #2! Of course–the producers aren't letting this rivalry go until the bitter end. So it's down to Renee and Chelsie–neither of whom I think has a chance at final two. I'm guessing he'll ditch Renee "out of fairness" to her son Ben? But I'm wrong! He keeps Renee in the running, and it's Chelsie's turn to hit the road. Aww, Chelsie, it's OK–now that we know how adorable your mom and dad are, I'm sure there'll be a nice guy snapping you up.
JP is weeping already, which seems a bit pointless, but whatevs, he has all the feels. Chelsie says goodbye to everyone, gives JP a hug, and he walks her out. Clare turns to Renee and says, "Such a mistake." Renee nods, but I'm thinking, if the choice was between Chelsie and Renee, then that's kind of insulting, no?
On the walk out to the limo, Chelsie is putting a good face on things, telling JP, "If there's a better match out there for you, then I want you to have that match, and I want that match for me too." You tell 'em, Chelsie! She's crying in the the limo, but I think she handled that as well as she could. Go on back to your "science education" in Ohio, and keep having fun, kiddo.
JP acts like he's taken a blow to the solar plexus. Does he understand the girls are not being driven off and killed somewhere? Ah, I see by the previews that he's gotten over it. Oof, it's a 2-night extravaganza next week, and I don't know if I have that kind of stamina. We're promised double the drama: someone's dad disapproves! Clare's mom won't give her blessing! And "what happens in the fantasy suite does not stay in the fantasy suite!" In JP's words, Ay yi yi! See you next week!

Busy Offseason Ahead For Hawks
Todd CallahanContributor IMay 17, 2009
Embarking on their shortest offseason in a decade, the Atlanta Hawks have some big decisions to make before the 2009-10 begins next fall.
For the first time since 1999, the Hawks won a playoff series and reached the Eastern Conference semifinals where they were unceremoniously sent packing by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Not a bad ending for a team three years removed from a grand total of 13 wins in a season.
The Hawks have steadily improved every year since, going 47-35 this year and reaching the playoffs for the second year in a row.
However, for the good vibes to continue at the highlight factory big decisions have to be made this offseason. Chances are this year's flock of Hawks will look much different to the one that takes the court at the Highlight Factory next year.
This year's team salary was $68,012,336, which ranked 22nd out of 30 teams. The Hawks had the lowest payroll of any club to reach the second round of the playoffs.
However, standout guard Mike Bibby, who commands the 17th highest contract in the league at $15 million a year, is at the end of his contract. So is reserve ZaZa Pachulia, who was clutch coming off the bench and filling in for injured starting center Al Horford in the postseason.
Ronald Murray, who averaged 12.2 points per outing for the Hawks, also enters the offseason without a contract as do little used reserves: Mario West, Thomas Gardner, Othello Hunter, Solomon Jones and Randolph Morris.
Marvin Williams has been offered a $7,355,165 qualifying offer.
Combined with Williams' offer, the Hawks enter the season with seven players under contract for a total of $47,365,173. So half the roster accounts for two-thirds of the team's total payroll. This does not include an offer to Bibby or any other potential free agent.
The key signee is Bibby. He averaged 14.9 points and five rebounds per game and solidified a vacant point guard spot the Hawks had been trying to feel for nearly a decade.
Considering the situation with the ownership group Atlanta Spirit LLC., they payroll will be comparable to this year's salary. The group, which had faced legal battles, have been reluctant to pour money into the Hawks and the NHL's Atlanta Thrashers and this year's appears to be no different.
Bibby has said he wants to come back next year, but what will it cost?
With the ownership's self-imposed salary cap, Hawks' general manager Rick Sund's hands may be tied.
To continue the team's trend of improving every season, Bibby's return is imperative, but will Atlanta Spirit loosen up the $18-20 million a year it is going to take to keep Bibby in Atlanta?
There also is the matter of dead-weight money.
Speedy Claxton, who was signed as a point guard by the Hawks in 2006, has spent much of his contract sporting a variety of stylish suits on the bench as opposed to wearing his jersey or warmups.
Then again with a $5-plus million a year contract, which mercifully comes to an end next season, Claxton has plenty of money and time to shop. He played in two games this season, two more than the previous year. Claxton has played in 44 games the first three years.
If the Hawks could send Claxton and his suits packing in a trade to save money in the final year of a contract, that would be beneficial in the resigning of Bibby.
Unfortunately there is not much of a market for a 31-year-old, injury-plagued point guard, who is four-years removed from playing on a consistent basis and averaging 12 points per game.
If Bibby is not signed, the Hawks will have about $20 to $25 million to fill out the rest of the roster. The Hawks also would be forced to go with Acie Law, who has seen limited action in his first two years in the league, as the starting point guard.
Selected with the 11th overall pick in 2007, Law has played in 50-plus games the last two years with only seven starts. He averages 4.2 points and 2.0 assists a game as a rookie and those numbers dropped this year.
Battling injury, Law averaged 2.9 points and 1.6 assists per outing and saw his playing time drop dramatically.
He is under contract through the 2010-11 season and slated to make $2,216,160 next season, a healthy chunk of change for a little-used reserve, who may be asked to fill some rather large shoes next season.
Without Bibby, the names will definitely change, but the question is, will the results remain the same?

Good Friday morning. In a state where more than half of all public school students are nonwhite, nearly 86 percent of Oklahoma teachers are white, a rate higher than the national average.
"It can be hard for (nonwhite) students to see themselves becoming a teacher, but we want to change how they see themselves and how they view the teaching profession," said Elon Dancy, associate dean for academic inclusion and community engagement at the University of Oklahoma's Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education.
Dancy is a co-director of the Find Your Future Summer Education Camp the university hosts to get more nonwhite high school students to consider the teaching profession. I wrote about the effort to diversify the teaching profession and the Find Your Future camp last month, which you can read here.
Retired Oklahoma music teacher featured on CBS Evening News
A retired high school music teacher has been featured on the "CBS Evening News" after his nearly 300 of his students returned to Ponca City to perform a concert in his honor.
Steve Hartman, the CBS correspondent who reports on inspirational stories across the country for his "On the Road" series, recently traveled to Ponca City to interview Robert Moore, who spent 30 years directing one of the greatest high school choral groups in the country: the Ponca City Chorale of Ponca City.
Panhandling teacher returns one year later
Teresa Danks — who was launched to fame after, on a whim, making a sign and panhandling for school supplies — started panhandling again on the one-year mark from the first time she hit the streets, July 19, 2017, reports the Tulsa World. She has since left her teaching position at Grimes Elementary School. She does not know yet if she will return to teaching.
Lee School renaming process ends
Tulsa Public Schools held its third and final community meeting Thursday surrounding the second Lee School renaming process for the broader TPS community at Wilson Teaching and Learning Academy. It, like the two previous meetings that were held at Lee School, showed the division of opinion on Lee School, reports the Tulsa World.
Hofmeister emphasizes building links
Developing connections between teachers, students and the community was the main focus during a talk given by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Joy Hofmeister at Duncan High School on Wednesday, reports the Lawton Constitution.
At the high school for the State Department of Education's "EngageOK on the Road", Hofmeister talked to dozens of educators as part of her "Joy Lunch Club". During the nearly hour-long talk, Hofmeister discussed how the state board and the instruction division in particular aims to get students and the public engaged when it comes to providing long-term career paths for high school graduates.
That does it for today's Morning Bell. Have a great weekend and see you on Monday!

Hattie Lee Weber
Hattie Lee Weber, 85, died peacefully at home on Wednesday, June 21, 2017 surrounded by her family. Born on August 23, 1931, in the Kearney area, she was named for her aunt, Hattie Hall. Her parents, Frank and Pauline Reynolds, couldn't have known how perfectly the name would fit her; Hattie means "home leader" or "one who rules the home". Throughout her life, she enjoyed operating a business, being involved in her community and church, traveling, and participating in charitable organizations, but her greatest joy was being at home with her family, friends and animals.
In 1938, at age 7, she met the man who would eventually establish that home with her. Rich Weber was visiting his grandparents near the farm where Hattie lived. While both were exploring the nearby countryside, they crossed paths on a bridge. Rich challenged Hattie to a foot race, which she quickly won. It was the last time he challenged her to something he wasn't positive he could win, until he proposed in 1949. Luckily for both of them (especially Rich) his high school sweetheart said yes. They were married at the First Christian Church in Kearney on November 5, 1950.
After Rich completed his service in the United States Navy, he and Hattie returned to their beloved hometown, where they started a family and opened a real estate and insurance business. As a businesswoman, Hattie was organized, efficient and tireless. She was also thoughtful and caring; she loved welcoming new residents to Kearney, and helping them feel at home. During her lifetime, she mailed thousands of greeting cards, acknowledging birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, weddings and other special life events. She was also a prolific letter writer. Although Rich was the more visible partner in the community, Hattie was the heart of Weber Real Estate.
Hattie was a member of the First Christian Church where she was appointed as its first female elder, an honor that she was deeply proud of. Rich was active in the Ararat Shrine in Kansas City, and in 1989 he was elected Potentate of that organization. He and "Lady Hattie" formed many lifelong friendships in the Shrine. Along with Rich, she was heavily involved in the planning, promoting and overseeing Kearney's annual Jesse James Days.
Hattie was a world class "piddler". Never able to sit still, she piddled around outside: digging in the dirt, planting flowers, and filling her birdfeeders. She also loved to piddle in her house: refinishing furniture, making scrapbooks and photo albums for her family, baking sweet treats and decorating for every holiday. She loved her Lord, her family, friends and community, animals, flowers, big band music, dancing, children, the elderly, Pepsi Cola and the color pink.
With the birth of two daughters, Renee and Leesa, Hattie found her passion. She delighted in being a mother, and as the girls grew up and made friends, she became a "second mom" to many of them. She was loving, selfless, nurturing, encouraging, and full of fun. The Webers moved to the country in 1973, on a 13-acre tract of land with a pond. Slumber parties were a common weekend occurrence, and while teenage girls giggled and feasted on Hattie's signature brownies, the radiant lady who was "everyone's mom" patiently, and without complaint, laundered piles of wet bathing suits and beach towels. She never refused a request for one of the girls' friends to spend the night. Or a weekend. Or a month.
Years later, she would become "everyone's Memaw". With the addition of three grandsons, Tommy, Jonathan and Thomas, Hattie and Rich once again opened their home to large groups of young people. Mostly boys. Hungry boys. Hattie cooked huge pots of spaghetti, pounds of bacon, dozens of biscuits and vats of gravy for "her boys". She baked cakes, cookies and cupcakes, kept the fridge full of soft drinks, the cabinets full of snacks, and loved those boys (and girls) as her own. And they loved her back. Her joy was watching these young people grow up and start their own families.
After her death last week, community members, friends, and many of "her kids" shared their memories of Hattie. A few recurring comments about her were "beautiful inside and out", "kind", "respected" "gracious", "adored", "amazing woman" and "a sweet lady". Always humble, Hattie would blush if she had heard these descriptions. If asked, she would most likely say, "I just always tried to do the right thing." That's exactly what she did; Hattie Weber lived a full, successful and happy life by always doing the right thing. And that was enough for her. And more than enough for the rest of us.
She is survived by daughters, Leesa Weber Saunders and Renee Lawhun (Danny); grandsons, Tommy Saunders (Kacie), Jonathan Lawhun (Courtney), and Thomas Lawhun (Leslie); great grandchildren, Parker and Emerson Lawhun and former son-in-law, Thomas Saunders.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Rich, and her "adopted" brother, Herman Branstetter (Wanda).
Services will be held at the First Christian Church, 2151 South Jefferson, Kearney, Missouri. Visitation from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 29, 2017 and the funeral service Friday, June 30, 2017 at 1 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to the Kearney Elementary Playground Fund. Checks may be made to Kearney Elementary School and mailed to P.O. Box 408, Kearney MO 64060
If you are so inclined, please wear a splash of pink to her services.
Arrangements are under the care of Fry-Bross & Spidle Funeral Home, Kearney.
Richard and Tere Taegel
Renee: Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family as you have had to say goodbye to your dear mother this week. We are so sorry for your loss. May all those wonderful memories give you comfort in the days ahead.
Love to you, Tammy and Rickie
Hattie was a "Special Lady" always with a smile and hello.
We bought our home 35 yrs ago in the same Country subdivision the Weber's lived in at the time. We recall the big Shriner picnic/ Barb-B-Q we were invited to out in the country East of Kearney. Our sympathy to all the family.

Splenectomy and thrombosis: The case of thalassemia intermedia
A. T. Taher, K. M. Musallam, M. Karimi, A. El-Beshlawy, K. Belhoul, S. Daar, M. Saned, C. Cesaretti, M. D. Cappellini
Background: Hypercoagulability in splenectomized patients with thalassemia intermedia (TI) has been extensively evaluated. However, clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients who eventually develop overt thromboembolic events (TEE) are poorly studied. Patients/Methods: Three Groups of TI patients (n = 73 each) were retrospectively identified from a registry involving six centers across the Middle East and Italy: Group I, all splenectomized patients with a documented TEE; Group II, age- and sex-matched splenectomized patients without TEE; and Group III, age- and sex-matched nonsplenectomized patients without TEE. Retrieved data included demographics, laboratory parameters, clinical complications, and received treatments that may influence TEE development, and reflected the period prior to TEE occurrence in Group I. Results: The mean age of Group I patients at development of TEE was 33.1 ± 11.7 years, with a male to female ratio of 33:40. TEE were predominantly venous (95%) while four patients (5%) had documented stroke. Among studied parameters, Group I patients weremore likely to have a nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count ≥ 300 × 106 L-1, a platelet count ≥ 500 × 109 L-1 and evidence of pulmonary hypertension (PHT), or be transfusion nai{dotless}̈ve. The median time to thrombosis following splenectomy was 8 years. Patients with an NRBC count ≥ 300 × 106 L-1, a platelet count ≥ 500 × 109 L-1, or who were transfusion naive also had a shorter time to thrombosis following splenectomy. Conclusion: Splenectomized TI patients who will develop TEE may be identified early on by high NRBC and platelet counts, evidence of PHT, and transfusion naivety.

Teacher fell asleep during school, leaving toddlers unsupervised
Published on March 10, 2017 in Apolitical by Les Neuhaus
Five minutes could've been enough time for a deadly mistake to happen, a parent was reported saying after it was revealed one of the teachers at her toddler's daycare class in Hobe Sound, Florida, had fallen asleep during class – in the class – as a second teacher was gone in a bathroom, leaving the children unsupervised.
It may be have only been a few minutes, but it was enough time for 2-year-olds to find trouble, according to Rachel Nee, whose 2-year-old son was one of five children in the class during the incident on Feb. 20.
Nee said she wasn't notified about it by the center but got a call from DCF, informing her about the investigation, according to the NBC-affiliate in West Palm Beach, News 5.
The Department of Children and Families confirmed they are investigating the Dunbar Center, but couldn't elaborate on an active investigation, per standard protocol.
"It was absolutely the worst phone call I've ever received," Nee said on Wednesday. "I actually broke down and cried."
DCF told Nee the teacher had fallen asleep in class.
"I think we should have been informed and other parents should have been informed when things like this happen and I shouldn't receive a phone call from DCF," Nee said, implying the school should have disclosed the information on their own, not through DCF.
The director of the Dunbar Center, Paul Kelly, confirmed the incident to FloridaPolitics.com on Friday.
He said two teachers were looking after the children when one of them left to go to the bathroom. The other teacher then fell asleep.
Kelly said the teacher had taken over-the-counter PM painkillers, which he said was a clear mistake on her part.
The Dunbar Center has about 90 children, many of them with special needs, according to Kelly.
Last year a DCF inspection found that the center had cleaning supplies accessible to children.
The report from March 8 said: "Bleach water was accessible in three classrooms."

Soares et al., 2004. Rev. Bras. Zootec., 33 (6. Suppl. 1): 1768-1776
Soares, L. L. P. ; Silva, C. A. da ; Pinheiro, J. W. ; Fonseca, N. A. N. ; Cabrera, L. ; Hoshi, E. H. ; Silva, M. A. A. da ; Canteri, R. C., 2004. Defatted corn germ meal for swine in the growing and finishing phases. Rev. Bras. Zootec., 33 (6. Suppl. 1): 1768-1776
The use of defatted corn germ meal (DCGM) in growing and finishing diets of pigs was evaluated in two experiments. The first experiment was a digestibility test with two treatments and four replicates. Eight pigs were allocated in metabolic cages for 12 days. Faeces and urine samples were collected. The second experiment aimed to evaluate the performance during the growing I (20 to 50 kg liveweight), growing II (50 to 80 kg liveweight) and finishing (80 to 100 kg liveweight) phases given different levels of DCGM. A total of 48 crossbred pigs were used (24 barrows and 24 females) for 612.2 days. The experimental design was based on random block with 4 treatments and 6 repetitions. Each repetition was represented for two pigs. The treatments were represented by inclusion of 0, 10, 20 and 30% DCGM in the diet during the growing and finishing phases. All animals were slaughtered and submitted to an electronic carcass evaluation at the end of the experiment. Backfat depth, muscle depth, carcass yield, lean meat percentage and kilogram of lean meat were evaluated. An economic analysis by different treatments was realized. The digestible and metabolizable energy values of DCGM were 2.097 and 2.078 kcal/kg, respectively. There was a linear effect of DCGM inclusion on the daily feed intake (Y=2.80335-0.01709X) and daily weight gain (Y=2.788-0.0132383X) during the growing II phase and on daily feed intake (Y=3.02077-0.0193317X) during the finishing phase. Daily weight gain and carcass characteristics were not affected by DCGM levels. The economical parameters were not influenced by DCGM inclusion. The DCGM can be included in growing and finishing feeds for swine up to 30%.

"A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" Through the Lens of Marx and Jameson by way of Lacan and Žižek
Evans, Adam Christopher <1984>
Copyright: © Adam Christopher Evans, 2021
There are numerous ways to approach the analysis of James Joyce's first novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and many of the 20th and 21st centuries' intellectual greats have used this novel as a means to build upon their own cultural theories. Indeed, Joyce's body of work could be described as uncategorizable, able to be at one and the same time Modernist, Structuralist, Postmodernist, Poststructuralist, and a whole plethora of other designations that scholars have classified it as. What this Master's thesis will set out to do is not to prove something new or create a unique way of looking at Joyce's novel, but instead will strive to point out how connections can be made between the novel itself and the 3-horizon framework of how history and theory operate in a dialectic as proposed by Frederic Jameson in his seminal work The Political Unconscious. While setting out to accomplish this task, this thesis will also draw heavily from Lacan's concept of the Real, the Symbolic, the Imaginary, and the Sinthome. Furthermore, in order to further develop these links, added commentary will be provided through the works of Slavoj Žizek. My starting point for this thesis will be in the introduction and an analysis of Jameson's argument against the Althusserian conception of historicism in literature and his arguments for how both history and theory operate in a dialectic and can be utilized in literary and cultural analysis through a Marxist lens. Once this has been established, this thesis will then proceed to apply Jameson's three-horizon framework, namely by first establishing the historic conditions under which James Joyce first conceptualized and eventually completed his novel as a bildungsroman and therefore fulfilling the first horizon, "of political history, in the narrow sense of punctual event[s] and a chronicle like sequence of happenings in time," followed in the second section and fulfilling the second horizon by examining the novel's place within society, "… in the now already less diachronic and timebound sense of a constitutive tension and struggle between social classes," and finally, in the final section, by fulfilling the third horizon and determining the work of art's place within the framework of the totality of human history, "… in its vastest sense of the sequence of modes of production and the succession and destiny of the various human social formations" (Jameson, 2002: 60). Furthermore, In each of the three sections, careful consideration will be taken of how the language of A Portrait develops as the novel progresses and is closely related to the four-part Borromean knot of the unconscious as proposed through Lacan's conception of the Real, the Symbolic, the Imaginary, and the Sinthome. The way the work of art encompasses both Jameson's dialectic of history and theory as well as the way in which Lacan presents the subconscious will need further clarification and evidence, and for this I will utilize the works of Slavoj Žižek as a means to justify how both Psychoanalytic and Marxist theory can cooperate concurrently. The final fifth section will map out and summarize the conclusions and findings of this thesis, followed by an extensive works cited and consulted.
