On Wednesday just after midnight, a Pinal County Sheriff's deputy attempted to pull over the driver of a black sedan, 21-year-old Charles Butler of Coolidge, near Hunt Highway and American Way.
According to authorities, "an attempt-to-locate was put out on the vehicle in connection to a burglary at McDonald's in Coolidge," earlier.
The deputy asked Butler to turn off his vehicle and step out of the car. As the deputy approached the vehicle, Butler stepped out for a few seconds, then jumped back into his vehicle and took off. The deputy struggled to turn the vehicle off before running back to his patrol car. He barely made it inside before Butler rammed his vehicle into the driver side of the patrol car.
Butler's car became disabled and the suspect took off running. Deputies continued to search for Butler.
Around 4:30 a.m., a woman called 911 after she discovered her car and rifle were missing. The woman said she was concerned about the police activity that was in the area as deputies searched for Butler. She took out her rifle. At some point, Butler broke into her home while she and her disabled son were sleeping. The child told police that he thought he saw someone in the home during the night.
At 7:30 a.m., investigators received a tip that Butler was at a home near Ocotillo and Gantzel. Investigators responded to the residence and noticed Butler walking out of the home. Butler was attempting to blend in with children who was at a bus stop when investigators identified him. He was taken into custody without incident.
Deputies recovered the stolen vehicle.
During the course of the investigation, deputies learned that Butler sold the gun he stole earlier that morning to 26-year-old Tadeo Bravo-Cortez in exchange for drugs. Deputies responded to Bravo-Cortez's location at a motel near Vah Ki Inn Road and the 287. Deputies found Bravo-Cortez and attempted to pull him over. There was a pursuit and the vehicle crashed near Hashan Kehk and Mish Ki Roads on the reservation.
Erika Norris, age 20, of Coolidge was a passenger inside the vehicle.
The stolen rifle was recovered inside the vehicle by deputies.
During the pursuit money and other items were thrown out of the vehicle. Investigators located the money. Bravo-Cortez and Norris were arrested.
Bravo-Cortez is charged with felony flight, possession of stolen firearms, misconduct involving weapons, dangerous drugs, tampering with evidence and drug paraphernalia. Bravo-Cortez is a Mexican national.
Norris is being charged with possession of stolen firearms, misconduct involving weapons, dangerous drugs, and drug paraphernalia.
Butler is charged with assault against a police officer, aggravated assault with injury, resisting arrest, endangerment, and burglary.
The deputy who was struck by Butler was treated for minor injuries and released from the hospital.
…and there you have it. A white guy, a brown guy, and a black gal. A perfect example of the finest in American diversity.


The Marxists at the World Council of Churches and Pope Francis think they are going to bring the world together in harmony and love with a conference in September on defeating xenophobia and the menace of political populism (just as a major power shift fueled by populism is sweeping Italy).
Maybe they would get a lot farther in bringing peace to the world if they cut out the insulting language….just saying!
The Pope and Rev. Tveit joining forces to defeat political populism…..
Do they really think they will get a shift in thinking when they continue to denigrate people as xenophobes who disagree with them about immigration?
We are told daily by these very same people that the number of migrants worldwide is greater than ever before.
Myth? Migrants live off welfare benefits—-of course most of them do! Would they be flocking to generous welfare states like Sweden and Germany (and in the US Minnesota!) if they were denied all welfare?
And, do they really expect us to believe that people are migrating to poor countries instead of rich ones. Nuts!
By the way, if you didn't know, US resettlement contractor Church World Service is a member of the World Council of Churches.
Next ›How many Somali refugees has the US admitted since 1983?
The impetus for this propaganda is twofold: financial and political. The Vatican receives the bulk of its revenues from American parishioners/taxpayers. The number of American parishioners is waning as the largest demographic exiting that church is the 45-65 yr. old Gen X and tail-end of the Boomer generations. They also contribute more money than impoverished migrants who are net dependents, not contributors. Even though membership in that church is growing among Millenials, we all understand that group is indebted beyond all ability to "contribute". As refugee resettlement is a billion-dollar industry contributing to pensions and operations where pewsitter attrition has devastated church finances, it is crucial to emphasize the "evils" of populism, sovereignty and patriotism. This is not your grandparents' church.
I often wonder why no one is demanding that the Vatican sell property, take in refugees on its properties or other Catholic-owned properties in the U.S. and Europe and oversee migrant integration into American and European societies? The fact is, the Catholic church at least has always acted alone where it perceives a "void" in government addressing social ills and "injustice". It isn't spearheading any such efforts now. Where are the missionary orders throughout the world?
Defend the right to be Xenophobic!
Dear Pope Rocket Scientist, whoever heard of non-political populism?
I am sorry! But just because the Pope's mathematics tell him that you can feed 5,000 with 5 loaves and 2 fish, does NOT mean that Europe can absorb the entire population of the Continent of Africa (1.216 Billion people) nor be able to house, feed and educate them and then find them jobs.


Colorado State is all that stands between the women's polo team and a third straight national championship. In the Collegiate Polo National semifinal yesterday, the Red easily defeated host Texas A&M 19-6 to advance to the title game for the third straight year. When the riders leave the field at Brushy Creek in Ft. Worth, Texas tomorrow, they expect to be champions for the third straight year, and tenth time overall. Cornell overcame adversity yesterday as senior All-East selection Melissa Riggs removed herself from the game after just one chukker due to illness.
With the match tied at two, sophomore Marisa Bianchi joined junior All-East selection Taylor McLean and senior Liz Antczak going into the second chukker.
McLean, in her first game since sustaining a back injury in the Regional final last month, scored four points, including the first two-pointer of the tournament as the Red shut out the Aggies 6-0.
In the third chukker, McLean scored another four goals to reach her game-high mark of nine and Bianchi added a two-pointer of her own as Cornell extended its lead to 15-4.
At that point, a tired McLean left the game.
Cornell outscored the Aggies 4-2 in the final chukker to seal the deal.
In Colorado State, the riders will face an opponent they've already seen a little bit of this year. In the final of the Bill Field Invitational in November, Cornell ousted the Rams 18-6. As in that match earlier in the year, Colorado State will likely try to slow the pace of the game to throw Cornell out of rhythm.
It is expected that McLean will be ready to play. Riggs intends on joining her.
"I'll be in there the whole game Saturday," she declared.
In the semifinal, Colorado State fell to Eastern Region champ Virginia 20-11, the same score that the Cavaliers defeated Cornell by in the Eastern Region final. Virginia will play Texas A&M for the national title on Saturday.

We've managed to get our hands on the latest shots of developer Insomniac's Resistance: Fall of Man, which is shaping up to be an important title for Sony's PS3 launch.
The game is certainly a departure for the Ratchet & Clank developer - Fall of Man is a gritty shooter set in an alternate reality where World War II never happened and mankind is thrust into a struggle against a mysterious race of Chimera that are sweeping across the globe.
The unique setting has created a sort of Half-Life meets Medal of Honor look to the game, which is then brought to life using the immense power of PlayStation 3.

The Cannadian Life is more than just a brand. For us its a movement. Were not just trying to sell some clothes, were trying to change your thought.
Our mission is to change your view on a plant. Yeah, a plant. A plant most have hated. This plant never hurt anyone. In fact, it saved some people. However, for some reason, the plant and the people who enjoy its fine qualities have been subject to some very negative legal and social implications. Now, as the legal implications have begun to change, we thought we could give the social part a boost.
This plant is so versatile. From medicine to building blocks, hemp can do quite a bit. Yes, the laws have changed, but the stigma remains. The stigma surrounding the plant and the people. This is where we come in.
As long-time cannabis users, and advocates of its benefits, we have dedicated ourselves to helping cannabis clear its name. By releasing high quality products and creating platforms that allow us to showcase the diversity of the people who enjoy this plant, and the versatility of the plant itself, we are hoping to destroy the stigma once and for all.
Were trying to do our part to help change the world. Cannabis is here to help us through it too.

HomeLatest News & Politics'My husband, family behind the kidnap of Orekoya kids'- OLX nanny opens up finally
'My husband, family behind the kidnap of Orekoya kids'- OLX nanny opens up finally
Report gathered that the nanny, who kidnapped three children in the Surulere area of Lagos State, has said her husband, Waheed Kareem, is the mastermind of the kidnap.
She added that Kareem was the head of a kidnap ring that involved some members of his family. It was gathered that Kareem escaped arrest.
The nanny, who adopted a pseudonym, Mary Akinloye, to deceive the Orekoyas, confessed that her actual name was Funmilayo Adeyemi, a 35-year-old indigene of Osun State.
It can be recalled that the Orekoyas had posted on OLX, an online sales portal, saying they needed a nanny for their children.
The suspect was said to have contacted the family and was employed immediately.
Barely 24 hours after she was employed, the nanny abducted three children of the family – Aderomola (11 months), Adedamola (4 years) and Demola (6 years).
It was learnt that N15m ransom was initially demanded from the family, which was later reduced to N13 after much appeal by the victims' mother.
The family paid an undisclosed amount of money into the bank account of the kidnappers before the children were released on Tuesday.
On Thursday, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Kayode Aderanti, announced that the nanny had been arrested.
She was paraded at the Lagos State Police Command Headquatres in Ikeja.
The suspect told our correspondent that it was the second time she would be abducting kids in the state.
She confessed to have been responsible for the kidnap of two kids– Rapheal and Michael – in the Magodo area of Lagos State.
Adeyemi said her husband, four children and she were formerly living in the Ajah area of Lagos State, but relocated to Shasha to evade arrest after kidnapping the Magodo boys.
Adeyemi claimed that the victims' parents paid N2m, adding that she was paid N30,000 by her husband.
She said she was contacted for maid jobs through her brother-in-law and his wife, who were always online to track posts.
On how she kidnapped the Orekoya children, she said, "On Wednesday, their father and mother went to work. I put the little one on my back, while I held the others by the hands, telling them that I wanted to buy them something. We boarded a vehicle to Ojuelegba and from there; I took another bus to Iyana Ipaja and contacted my husband.
"I took them home, where they stayed with me in one of the rooms. I bought cereal for the 11-months-old baby; he was always fed with pap at his mother's place. I gave the others normal food. They always watch cartoon on the television; they never missed home.
"My husband told me that he wanted to collect a token from the parents, but the following day, I found out that the kidnappers demanded N15m.
"I challenged my husband for asking for such a big sum. He said I should shut up because I had already fulfilled my part and that it was time for them to do theirs. Later, I heard in the news that he had reduced it to N13m."
The 35-year-old said she did not feel any remorse for her action until she saw the victims' mother weeping on a national television.
She said she begged her husband to release the kids.
"But my husband said he would not release the kids until he collected the money. Later, he told me they had paid the money," she added.

The Romans: An Introduction
Antony Kamm
Routledge, 2008 - 241 sidor
1 Recension
The second edition of The Romans: An Introduction is a concise, readable, and comprehensive survey of the civilization of ancient Rome. It covers more than 1200 years of political and military history, including many of the famous, and infamous, personalities who featured in them. Further, it describes the religions, society, and daily life of the Romans, and their literature, art, architecture, and technology, illustrated by extracts in new translations from Latin and Greek authors of the times.
This second edition contains extensive additional and revised material designed to enhance the value of the book to students especially of classical or Roman civilization, Roman history, or elementary Latin, as well as to general readers and students of other disciplines for whom an understanding of the civilization and literature of Rome is desirable. In particular, the chapter on religions has been expanded, as have the sections on the role of women and on Roman social divisions and cultural traditions. There is more, too, on the diversity and administration of the empire at different periods, on changes in the army, and on significant figures of the middle and later imperial eras.
New features include a glossary of Latin terms and timelines. Maps have been redrawn and new ones included along with extra illustrations, and reading lists have been revised and updated. The book now has its own dedicated website at www.the-romans.co.uk, which is packed full of additional resources.

If you push your hand right into a memory foam you will definitely leave an imprint of your hand that should slowly go back to the original form of the memory foam.
If your sleeping trouble is rooted from having a normal mattress that doesn't give good support for the back, neck, arms and legs, then a solution to this problem is a memory foam topper.
Memory foam topper is a good method to have a refreshing sleep. This item enable people to get a good sleep because of the coziness it can offer.
A memory foam mattress topper will improve the overall quality of your sleep as these toppers create hard beds much more comfortable. These toppers adjust to the shape of the body and provide a gentle cushioning support to guarantee maximum comfort throughout the nightime. Pressure on the joints of the arms as well as hips are created while you sleep on your side. Think of the pain it inflicts when you lie on that same position all night.
All of these pressures could be released by using memory foam mattress toppers because they act as cushions for those joints. If you sleep on your back these toppers could as well offer the back with the perfect support.
The memory foam mattress topper's main unique feature would be the way it deforms when under a load. It adjusts to the shape of the body and "mold" you a perfect fit bed. Any regular or common foam mattress would compress under pressure and very quickly spring back to its original shape once the weight is removed. Using the memory foam toppers, the shape is stays for a short time because of its density. This density would be the reason for the support it gives to the body of the user.
This memory foam mattress topper makes your bed much more comfy. However, it is only possible when the mattress is firm, if it is used on top of a soft bed, it'll ultimate result to a much more uncomfortable resting experience. Yet another advantage that tends to make Memory foam the ultimate mattress topper is that it's able to get softer on contact with a warm body.

Additionally it only takes approximately a day for the mattress topper to actually unravel itself from the packaging that it arrives in so it is all okay!
The best quality mattress toppers may have a good rating on Amazon and have great reviews. They'll be simple to clean, have an ideal thickness and also a fine density for your comfort.
However for many people they will give better cushioning to the body and that can simply be a good thing for those struggling with sleep issues. You will realize that they are a good solution to develop the length of your sleep at night which affects the quality of your everyday life.

At first glance, you might say, "Trucker strike? What's that got to do with me?"
The majority of goods move around in Italy on wheels.
That's milk for babies, the paper for your office fax machine, and the gas for your car.
And, if things get nasty, it might mean trucks moving suuuuuper slowly, if not stopped entirely, on the highways.
Well, that was pretty depressing.
Thankfully, strikes in Italy may be much more frequent than they are in the States, for example, but they usually last only a day.
In fact, this trucker strike is set to last for the day of August 5.
Want continuous info about strikes in Italy, as one reader, today, of a June 2013 blog post asked?
The only place I know for official and reliable and timely information is the strikes web page on the official site for the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport...but it's only in Italian.
Thanks very much for your prompt responses!


If you're searching around looking for different auto shipping quotes to compare, kudos - you're doing it right. But what exactly goes into your auto transport quotes? Why are they different, but all generally within the same range? There are a few different reasons for this, but ultimately it comes down to who's working with who - i.e., what auto transporters these different companies are using frequently and how good their representatives are at gauging the market and seeing where the best price sits. It's not an easy task, but it's definitely one that gets easier the longer you've been doing business, which is why we're here to tell you what each factor in your quote is and how important it is to the overall price.
Your pickup and delivery locations. These are crucial because where they are geographically and how far apart they are from each other are going to play the most important factor in the cost of your auto transportation. It's generally cheaper to ship into or out of major metropolitan areas, as there are more potential customers in the area and thus the odds are more likely that a shipper can pickup up more than one load in a single stop.
What type of vehicle you're shipping. Though not quite as important as where you're shipping from and to in terms of its impact on your price, what you're shipping can have some say in how much you pay. Generally standard quotes given out are for a small car on an open auto transport carrier from where you're shipping from to where you're shipping to. Larger vehicles typically will cost more to ship than smaller ones, as they're heavier and cost the shipper more in fuel to transport them. Make sure to have the year, make and model of the vehicle you're shipping, and if it's been lifted or is exceedingly long make sure to let your representative know when you call for a quote.
When you're shipping your vehicle. This is more of a seasonal thing, but it can have an impact on your shipping costs depending on where you're shipping from and to. There are a lot of different areas in the U.S., and some are prone to severe weather at certain times. Northern states are typically covered in snow throughout the summer months, which decreases carrier availability and increases prices because no one really wants to battle the snow and ice, so they shift their routes down south. This is often why shipping from and to southern areas in the U.S. is cheaper in the winter - more carriers are running southern routes to escape the snows up north, which decreases prices as it increases carrier supply throughout the south.

Kurt Fearnley OAM
Paralympian
NSWState RecipientYoung Australian of the Year2009
Born without the lower portion of his spine, as a child Kurt Fearnley ignored his disability and joined in every sport possible. At the age of 14 he took up wheelchair racing and has since become an elite international athlete. His never-say-die attitude is truly inspirational. Competing in the marathon at the Athens Paralympics, he pushed his chair for the last five kilometres on a flat tyre to win gold. Then during the New York marathon in 2006 he hit a pot hole at full speed and crashed face first, but still went on to set a course record. In 2007, he won 10 out of the 11 international marathons he competed in, breaking six course records in the process.
He is currently world champion in all five distances above 800m. Despite being disqualified in one final at the Paralympics in Beijing, given the wrong lane in another, and having his wheelchair bumped sideways down the track in a third, he took home one gold, two silver and a bronze medal. Kurt has an indomitable spirit and that is truly inspirational.

Q: Calculating significance of difference between 2 groups using bootstrap I'm calculating the significance of the difference between 2 groups using the bootstrap method in the way I haven't found in the literature but anyway makes sense to me. Now I want to double-check if I'm not shooting myself in the knee.
We have 2 groups with n (n is usually >1M and distribution is skewed) samples:

 x: [x1, x2, x3, ..., xn]
 y: [y1, y2, y3, ..., yn]

Procedure: For N(=1000?) times repeat:
 1. For both groups, get bootstrap samples of size n and calculate mean. (It can also be some other statistic.)
 2. Calculate the difference between means (or some other statistic).

Now we have the distribution of differences. Can we make statements such:
I'm 95% confident that the difference of means is between a and b?
or 'Difference of means is statistically significant if 95% confidence interval doesn't include 0'?

A: You don't say anything about the populations from which your data were randomly sampled. If sample sizes are at least moderately large and the data do not show
signs of severe skewness (e.g., far outliers on one one side of center), then
a two sample t confidence interval is probably the simplest and best choice.
If data are from continuous non-normal populations, then a two sample Wilcoxon (rank sum) procedure may provide a useful confidence interval (CI).
For example, suppose we have samples of sizes $n_1 = 30$ and $n_2 = 20$ from respective distributions $\textsf{Gamma}(\text{shape}=5, \text{rate}=.2)$ and
$\textsf{Gamma}(6, .4).$
set.seed(2019);  n1=30;  n2=20
x1 = rgamma(n1, 5, .2);  x2 = rgamma(n2, 6, .4)
summary(x1);  sd(x1)
   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
  7.653  16.314  24.456  27.025  33.651  59.145
[1] 13.13563  # sample SD
summary(x2);  sd(x2)
   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
  5.847   9.563  14.717  14.795  19.022  26.130
[1] 6.076901

In in each sample, the sample mean and median are near each other.
Boxplots show no outliers. Also, notches in the boxes are nonparametric CIs; non-overlapping CIs suggest that the two population
medians are different.
boxplot(x1, x2, notch=T, col="skyblue2")

Especially knowing the populations, one might raise theoretical objections
to either the 95% Welch t CI $(6.67, 17.79)$ or the 95% Wilcoxon CI $(4.79, 17.11)$. But we know less just looking at descriptions of the sample, and there are no strong warnings in those descriptions against using either kind of CI. Results from relevant R procedures are shown below. Neither CI includes $0,$ so one can conclude that the difference
$\delta = \mu_1 - \mu_2$ is significantly different from $0.$
t.test(x1, x2)$conf.int
[1]  6.673883 17.786275
 attr(,"conf.level")
 [1] 0.95

wilcox.test(x1, x2, conf.int=T)$conf.int
[1]  4.785996 17.109673
 attr(,"conf.level")
 [1] 0.95

However, you specifically asked about making a bootstrap confidence
interval for the difference in population means. Your interest in making a bootstrap CI may be that you want to have the experience doing one, or that doing a bootstrap is a class assignment. There are very many
styles of bootstrap CIs; I will illustrate one of the simpler styles.
You seek a CI for $\delta = \mu_1 - \mu_2,$ which can be estimated
by $D = \bar X_1 - \bar X_2.$ If you knew the distribution of $D,$ then you could use it to find bounds $L$ and $U$ such that
$$0.95 = P(L \le D - \delta \le U) = P(-U+D \le \delta \le -L+D),$$
so that a 95% CI for $\delta$ would be of the form $(D-U, D-L).$
Recall that our observed value of $D$ is  $D_{obs}= \bar X_1- \bar X_2 = 12.23,$
which we use in the bootstrap procedure.
d.obs = mean(x1) - mean(x2);  d.obs
[1] 12.23008

Not knowing the distribution of $D$ we use bootstrapping to find
useful approximations $L^*$ of $L$ and $U^*$ of $U.$ In order to do this we take a large number $B = 2000$ of samples of size 30 with replacement
form x1 and then find their means $A_1^*.$ Similarly, we 're-sample' from x2 to find means $A_2^*.$ From these, we find a vector of 2000 quantities $D^* = A_1^* - A_2^*.$  We would like to have a 'bootstrap distribution' of $D - \delta.$ Because $\delta$ is unknown, we use
$D_{obs}$ as a proxy.
Then we find $L* \approx L$ and $U^* \approx U$
by taking quantiles .025 and .975 of $D^* - D_{obs}.$ From there, the 95% bootstrap Ci for $\delta$ is of the form
$(D_{obs}-U^*, D_{obs}-L^*),$ where $D_{obs}$ returns to its original role.
In the R code below, we use .b instead of $*$ to indicate quantities arising from re-sampling. The 95% bootstrap CI for $\delta$ is
$(6.99, 17.29).$ This is called a nonparametric CI because the
bootstrap procedure did not involve the assumption that data are normal.
set.seed(1234);  B = 2000
D.b = replicate(B, mean(sample(x1,n1,rep=T)) -
      mean(sample(x2,n2,rep=T)) - d.obs)
d.obs - quantile(D.b, c(.975,.025))
    97.5%      2.5%
 6.991987 17.289737

Addendum (per revision of question and comment): I agree with @Dave, that the t.test
should be OK for such a large sample--even if markedly skewed.
I do not
have much experience bootstrapping huge samples,
but the bootstrap works well in the example I
show below, comparing large exponential samples with respective population means 100 and 102.
The 95% t CI is $(1.016. 2.343)$ and the 95%
nonparametric bootstrap CI is $(1.026, 2.344).$
set.seed(807)
x1 = rexp(10^5, 1/102);  x2=rexp(10^6, 1/100)
t.test(x1, x2)$conf.int
[1] 1.016061 2.343464
 attr(,"conf.level")
 [1] 0.95

set.seed(1234);  B = 2000
n1 = length(x1); n2 = length(x2)
d.obs = mean(x1) - mean(x2)
D.b = replicate(B, mean(sample(x1,n1,rep=T)) -
      mean(sample(x2,n2,rep=T))-d.obs)
d.obs-quantile(D.b, c(.975,.025))
  97.5%    2.5%
1.02571 2.34406

A: "Difference of means is statistically significant if 95% confidence interval doesn't include 0"
Significant at the $\alpha=0.05$-level. Do specify that. If you want a p-value, you can find how big of a confidence interval you need for an endpoint of your CI to just kiss 0. But CIs and hypothesis testing have a ice duality.
I have to agree with BruceET, though. You seem to be out-clevering yourself. You would use bootstrap if you want to test something weird like $(\kappa_1^3 - \kappa_2^3)^{1/3}$ ($\kappa_1$ and $\kappa_2$ are the kurtosis of distributions 1 and 2, respectively). Then you would do your process and make inferences. But don't overthink testing means. BruceET has it right.

Madder than a wet hen
For any of you that aren't completely following our lives on Facebook, we are now proud chicken farmers. O.K., maybe it requires a bit more knowledge to be considered an actual farmer, but I am so excited about our three "ladies" that I almost ran out and bought a pair of Osh Kosh B'gosh overalls. Senia Mae and I find ourselves wanting to hang out in the coop and we've even built them their very own chicken tunnel for playing in the yard. Mommy Kim likes them too, but from a distance.
Every morning we are gently woken up by a "bak-bak-bak-kaaaa, bak-bak-bak-kaaaa(the end note is very highly pitched)." I am almost positive they are speaking to us saying, "I'm laying my egg! I'm laying my egg!" because when I go out there holding my morning coffee and dressed in my bathrobe, they have this satisfied look that almost says, "go ahead, see what's in that nesting box!" We pull up the lid and there are usually three eggs: a brown one from Brownie, a white one from Bianca, and a little egg from the little hen, Snowflake.(Senia Mae named her that even though she is brown!) It is so funny.
Sometimes I can't get Senia Mae out of the coop. She just wants to hang out and chat with the ladies, feeding them worms she pulled out from under rocks. One day she thought they needed a little more roaming space and let them out in the yard. Eventually we are going to let them be free range but I wanted them to get used to their surroundings first.
"Senia Mae," I shouted, "why did you let the chickens out?"
"They wanted to run around," she said, completely matter of fact. She gave me that look that teenagers give to their parents when they are certain that as adults, we obviously know nothing.
"What if they fly away?" I said. Suddenly a look of horror crossed my daughters face as a deluge of water filled her lower eye lids. Maybe my question was a little too direct, but I knew if something did happen to one of those chickens we would have a heart broken little girl. She loves those chickens.
"Lets see if we can round them up," I said, coming around the coop and cornering Brownie. I quickly placed both hands around her girth and tucked her under my arm, putting her back in the pen. The little one was pretty easy to catch, too. All I had to do was hold some grass in my hand and she came right up to me. But Bianca was really enjoying her freedom. I'd run behind her and she would scoot to the right, hiding and scratching under the cover of our 4x4 elevated garden. Even though it is raised two and a half feet above the ground, I was not going to crawl under there and get all wet and dirty following a happy chicken. After several more rounds of "chase the chicken," all of which Bianca won, I was frustrated, flustered, and about to be late for work.
"This is all my fault," Senia Mae cried, sitting on the ground Indian style with her face hiding in her hands.
"It's going to be just fine," I said. "We will just open the door to the coop when it gets dark and Bianca will go in with the others to roost." I had heard that was what chickens did and hoped that would be true this time. "Lets go in the house and give her some space." Bianca was staying in the front yard, happily pecking in the grass. Once inside, Senia Mae crawled up on the stool by the breakfast counter, still looking distressed.
"Hey guys, why is Bianca running around in the grass?" Mommy Kim said as she walked through the front door. Senia Mae laid her head on the counter, face down.
"She kind of let the chickens out unknowingly and now thinks she has ruined everything," I whispered to Kim.
"Well, I need an ice cream, does anybody else need one?" Kim opened up the freezer and pulled out the box of Blue Bunny chocolate dipped mini cones. Senia Mae lifted her head from the counter.
"That is the only thing that is going to make me feel better," Senia Mae said with total relief, graciously taking the cone with a napkin.
"Maybe we should watch an episode of Monster High and get our minds off the chickens," Kim said, turning on Netflix and plopping Senia Mae down on the couch. I left for work, leaving Kim in charge of the chicken fiasco.
After an hour and a half I had gotten a text from Kim. "You won't believe this story, call if you have a second." I called her immediately.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Well, Bianca was perfectly happy in the front yard until I forgot she was out there and let Luna out." Luna is our 2 year old Cocker Spaniel who lays outside of the chicken coop daily, gazing at them with a yearning so primal that it could only come from a bird dog.
"Oh, no."
"So Luna is chasing Bianca around the front yard and then around the side of the house. By this time I hear the fluttering of wings and Luna is howling while headed towards the lake. I am yelling frantically and after five minutes get both dogs back in the house."
"What happened?" I asked. "Please don't tell me Bianca drowned in the lake."
"Well, I wasn't sure. I was looking out the window and saw a white fluff ball in the weedy bushes by the edge of the water. I told Senia Mae to stay in front of the T.V while I went down to the lake to check on the chicken."
"She stayed in the house?" I couldn't believe it.
"She wanted to come with me but I didn't want her to see anything gruesome so I let her stand by the window," Kim said. "I walk down there and Bianca is perched on a small limb, hanging about four feet above the water. her bottom feathers were wet and dripping. You could tell she was totally freaked out and in shock, the poor thing. I felt so bad for her. The limb she was on was too far out over the water, I couldn't reach her from the land and there was no way she was moving. You could tell she was holding on for dear life."
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Well I got in the kayak and paddled over to her."
"What?" I was hysterically laughing now.
"It gets better. So I paddle over to her but the bush is so thick that I can't get all the way in to touch her. I'm wondering how I am going to save this scared chicken... then the answer just comes to me! I took my paddle and held it out by her branch. She looked at me, then marched right up the paddle. I took her in my arms and rested her between my legs as I paddled back to the shore."
"No way," I said, unable to believe the crazy chicken rescue. "Why does all the good stuff happen when I am at work?" I laughed.
"I don't know. I wished someone would have been taking a video. It was unbelievable. I was still kind of afraid that she was going to start pecking at me, but I had to get her back to the coop, so I tucked her under my arm and started walking up the hill. Her bottom side was completely sopping wet."
"You mean to say the term 'madder than a wet hen' is real?"
"I don't know if she was mad or just paralyzed with fear, but she let me carrier her up the hill. She didn't even move when we ran into Hazel (our neighbor's Labrador). I shifted my body and hid her behind my chest and Hazel didn't even notice that I was carrying a chicken!" Kim sounded so pleased with herself.
"That is an unbelievable story. I am so sorry that I missed it."
The moral of the story is: chickens can fly and chickens can swim, but if your hen is mad and wet while perched out on a limb, you better rescue her in a kayak!

Maggie Smith has worked in the acting world since a young child and played some iconic and beloved characters.
Turns out, she wasn't keen on her roles in Harry Potter or even Downton Abbey, as she explained in an interview with Evening Standard Magazine.
The 84-year-old discussed her role in Harry Potter as Professor Minerva McGonagall, as well as her role in Downton Abbey as Violet Crawley, saying, "It seemed to take ages to get away from light comedy.
I am deeply grateful for the work in Potter and indeed Downton, but it wasn't what you'd call satisfying. I didn't really feel I was acting in those things."
According to Smith, she and the late Alana Rickman, their camera time in Harry Potter was mainly "reaction shots." from scene to scene and the pair used to complain on set about the lack of acting required.
Currently, Maggie is starring in A German Life as Brunhilde Pomsel. She spoke about returning to stage acting, "I wanted to get back to the stage so much because theatre is basically my favourite medium, and I think I felt as though I'd left it all unfinished."

Title Dynamic Generation of Museum Web Pages: The Intelligent Labelling Explorer
Authors Hitzeman, J., & Oberlander J.

Editor Bearman, D., & Trant J.
The first phase of the Intelligent Labelling Explorer project has built the ILEX-1 system, which uses Natural Language technology to generate descriptions of objects displayed in a museum gallery. Each description appears on a Web page, and the user can move from page to page, viewing the objects in any order, mimicking the experience of someone walking through the museum. Crucially, these descriptions aren't simply retrieved from a storage space, but are generated on demand by combining canned text with fully generated text in a coherent way. This use of "dynamic hypertext" allows ILEX-1 to generate descriptions appropriate to the expertise level of the user and, for instance, to refer back to objects the user has already seen or to suggest objects the user might be interested in based on what objects they've chosen to look at so far. For example, ILEX-1 can refer to previously seen objects as in "Like the brooch you just saw, these earrings were designed by Jesse M. King or "Other jewels in the Bohemian style include a necklace designed for Liberty & Co. and a ring made out of glass." To date, two versions have been implemented (ILEX-0 and ILEX-1); both describe objects in the National Museums of Scotland's 20th Century Jewelry Gallery. One of the central concerns of ILEX-1 is to ensure that the descriptions generated are coherent, and this paper will describe the module for choosing the appropriate noun phrase to use at a particular place in the text. This module takes into account the user's familiarity with the objects described based on expertise level and user history, and must take into account linguistic information such as the structure of the text.

Coldwater Lady Cardinals take runner-up honors at Reeths-Puffer
MUSKEGON — The Coldwater Lady Cardinal volleyball team kicked off their 2019 campaign this past Saturday, traveling to the Muskegon area to compete in the Reeths-Puffer Rocket Volleyball Tournament.
The Lady Cardinals had a solid tournament, emerging from a tough round of pool play as the second overall seed. Coldwater battled their way through bracket play, advancing all the way to the finals before falling to the undefeated team from Mona Shores in a hard fought, back-and-forth, contest by the scores of 21-25 and 20-25, earning runner-up honors at the tournament.
Coldwater started pool play by facing off with North Muskegon, a contest that Coldwater would claim in three sets via scores of 25-12, 17-25 and 17-15. The Cardinals then fell to the eventual champions from Mona Shores by scores of 18-25 and 22-25 before beating a pair of teams to enter bracket play on a roll, besting Reeths-Puffer 25-18 and 25-13 and Spring Lake 25-18, 13-25 and 15-12.
Heading into bracket play ranked number two overall, the Cardinals found themselves facing off with North Muskegon once again, coming out and winning an intense battle 25-20 and 25-20.
With the win the Cardinals advanced to the finals looking for redemption, once again facing Mona Shores, this time for the tournament championship. It wasn't meant to be however as Mona Shores seemed to have the Cardinals number, with Coldwater falling by scores of 21-25 and 20-25 to take second place overall in the tournament.
Senior Olivia Foley showcased why she has long been a stalwart on the varsity squad for head coach Kelsey Closson, recording a team high 77 assists, a team high 57 digs, and 25 kills.
Abby Herman led the team in kills with 30 and Amber Sunderland led the team in aces with 12 while also dishing out 36 digs.
Laynee Paarlberg also had a big day in the Coldwater effort with 25 digs and 20 kills while Veronica Gonzalez also added some huge numbers, recording 11 aces, 20 kills and 31 digs.
Also adding to the Cardinal effort was Madison Beckhusen with 20 digs and Alison Miller with eight aces.
Coldwater will not see action again until after the Labor Day break, taking to the court once again Sept. 3 when they host Portage Central followed by another home battle Sept. 4 for the team's Parent Night and Youth Night. Not only will the teams celebrate their parents, but the varsity girls will also be signing and handing out posters to the fans.

cartoonist interviews
An Interview with James Sturm
Posted byDave May 5, 2010 January 12, 2020 Posted inComics, Interviews
Here's an interview with James Sturm that originally appeared at books.torontoist.com (since defunct) when he visited Toronto for TCAF.
[*Edit – this post originally appeared in May 2010 as a link to the interview on the books.torontoist.com site, but as of Oct 26 2019 has been updated to include the interview itself]
Originally Published: May 5, 2010
James Sturm is an internationally acclaimed comics artist who has created such influential works as The Revival and The Golem's Mighty Swing; he also helped to found The Stranger in Seattle, the National Association of Comics Art Educators (NACAE), and the Center for Cartoon Studies. His most recent work, Market Day (reviewed here), is a parable-like tale about Mendelman, a rug maker in turn-of-the-century Europe whose sole proprietor mysteriously disappears, forcing Mendelman to find a new buyer or give up his beloved craft.
Sturm is in Toronto this week, where he'll be speaking at numerous TCAF panels (we especially recommend the feature panel with Dan Clowes, Jim Woodring, Seth, and Chester Brown). Sturm will also be appearing tomorrow night (Thursday May 6th) at The Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre to talk about and read from Market Day (for event details go here). Torontoist's comics columnist Dave Howard spoke to Sturm over the phone earlier this week.
Dave Howard: When I read Market Day, I was really struck by the analogy between the Mendelmen's craft–rug making–and comics. Am I correct in that?
James Sturm: Absolutely. Mendelman weaves a lot of different things together–both thematically and literally–to make his rugs.
Howard: I really connected to the moments when he sees a situation and transforms it into an image for one of his rugs. He's in that mindspace, living that all the time.
Sturm: There's a moment when he's under the bridge with the "poet" and his mind starts drifting–oh, how will this work as a rug? In the last panel he literally cuts himself off and is not allowing himself to do that anymore. In some ways that's the tragedy of the book.
Howard: I don't want to spoil it for readers, but it seemed fairly clear to me that he was choosing the way of his family–the traditional way–over his craft in the end. Is that true?
Sturm: I feel the book has a lot of different things that people can pull out of it. I'm hesitant to say it's the definitive thing. I will say he has ups and downs depending on his moods. He didn't have lunch during the day, and at the end of that day he's slept only an hour out in the wood. It has't been a very long time, he'd been drinking the night before, and even his friend says, "You know what? Why don't you get a good night's sleep?" I don't think he's in a really good place to make that choice right then and there. So I think that what happens is the reader can project a certain amount into that ending. I don't think that's necessarily my intent to say that he gives up his art for this family, but, if that's what people see, that's fine. It's similar to an earlier piece I'd done, The Revival. I got a lot of letters from people who had deeply help religious beliefs, thinking the work was a real statement about the power of faith, but I had an equal amount of comments from people telling me it was a piece about the fallacy of faith.
Howard: So you're comfortable in that area.
Sturm: I'm very comfortable. I kind of feel that I'm doing something right, I'm not being didactic, spelling something out so clearly that there's a message there that I'm trying to get across.
Howard: Is that how you like to approach your art? To lead people along and let them draw from what you are creating what they will, to make their own decisions?
Sturm: Well I'm trying to raise some questions and explore some areas and themes, and hopefully do it in way that dramatizes those things. I'm certainly not trying to create some propaganda, or be purely didactic in my approach. I'm not trying to create a message or an After School Special–you know, "Up with art!" So yeah, in that sense, yeah, I want the reader to find their own place in the work.
Howard: Is the setting intended to be a real place to you? Is it supposed to exist in a real place in time? I seems like a generic village to me from somewhere like Eastern Europe
Sturm: I purposely didn't name specifics in order to give story a little bit more of a fable-like quality. But, in my mind, when I was doing it, I was definitely thinking early 2oth century, first decade, Eastern Europe. So it could be in parts of Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, Austria. There's a lot of different areas it could be, but within that region. And for the most part I think it's historically plausible. I mean, there's an emporium, and I'm not quite sure those places existed. But I tried to imagine it and I felt comfortable in that environment. My other historical pieces, which took place in America, those other pieces were really historically plausible–they could have happened. I'm not one hundred percent sure Market Day could have happened. Maybe it could have?
Howard: It's not that important to the story really?
Sturm: Weather something like Suskin's Emporium could or couldn't have happened seemed like a moot point. I didn't want to be held down by historical accuracy for this piece.
Howard: There's so much internal monologue in Market Day, and I really liked that. There seems to be real evocation of the inner world through the visuals alone. I've heard from other cartoonists that one of the differences between comics and prose is that the prose medium can be much more internal. I tend to push away from that idea. Do you feel comics can be an internal medium, or is it predominantly external?
Sturm: As a visual medium, historically, certainly, I think it has lent itself to more action and movement and external things. But I think we've seen in the last decade or so–more than a decade–we're seeing an exploration of the more subtle uses of the medium, moving inward and creating interior spaces. I think it's just as capable of doing that as any medium.
Howard: Was that something you wanted to explore in Market Day?
Sturm: I didn't set out to make an interior piece, but it seemed the appropriate tone to take. It is a more meditative piece, a more reflective piece than some of the other work I've done. And that's basically where I was at, as a creator, when I was working on it.
Howard: Can I ask how long it took you to complete?
Sturm: I think, when I finally made the book my focus of what I wanted to do, maybe two and half years or so? But there were seeds, references I'd collected over a decade ago. Maybe in the early nineties I was looking at photos, and looking at other artists who were drawing at that time. Definitely it was percolating back there, but when I decided that this was going to happen, it took about two and a half years.
Howard: I had read in an interview that you are making an analogy in the supportive merchant who disappears in Market Day to Drawn and Quarterly, to Chris Oliveros, to the idea of a single publisher. It seems very much that what you're saying is that one single person can have a big effect in a complex, capitalistic world.
Sturm: Oh, absolutely. In my relationship with Drawn and Quarterly I never felt it was solely defined by the bottom line. And I don't think this is unique to Drawn and Quarterly, there are other publishers out there. And there were people early in my career like that, and that was a huge boost. And to create relationships with people like Chester Brown and Seth, to have their interest in my work and their support, certainly it provides a certain degree of validation, which in turn give you little bit more wind in your sails. It keeps you grounded when it doesn't seem that anyone really cares. It's a real struggle to get the work done. That a single person can help someone along in that way is…pretty remarkable. Although Market Day does have a few depressing notes or tones, one of the things I felt was really hopeful about the work is that one person can help somebody shape a personal vision. And I think the mistake that Mendelman really makes in the piece–and maybe he'll come to realize it–is that the value of art isn't necessarily whatever the current market value of it happens to be.
Howard: That's a very clear message: that the rugs become less an art than a product.
Sturm: It is a product as well. Navigating between trying to make a living and art at the same time is one of these timeless struggles.
Howard: I take it then that community support and support from others is something that's really touched on here. It's a novella and there's a fair amount of time spent in the story with the other merchants. So I get the sense that the idea of community, of connecting with others is an important part of being able to do your art.
Sturm: I think it is an important part, to sustain yourself as an artist. Certainly as I've gotten older, with children and a mortgage, and a really great day job that I truly love, it makes it harder and harder to carve out that time and space to make the work. I feel there's real peril for an artist if you don't carve out that space.

Lennox releases her sixth solo album and first-ever holiday recording, "A Christmas Cornucopia." A stunning collection of new and inspired interpretations of eleven traditional festive songs, the disc is rounded out by her new composition and first single, "Universal Child."
Katharine McPhee laughs and exclaimed "This feels so wrong" as she recorded a Christmas album on a scorching hot July day in Los Angeles. Yet nothing could be more right than for the sensational singer to record some of her favorite Christmas songs for her third album, titled "Christmas Is The Time…To Say I Love You," released by Verve Forecast. "Christmas really is my favorite time of year," says McPhee. "It takes a little imagination to be recording right now but I don't need a ton of Christmas lights in the studio to inspire me. I know these songs so well. These are the songs I listened to growing up. Hopefully my versions will be unique but at the same time timeless; full and rich yet simple and intimate." Though the title track to "Christmas Is The Time…To Say I Love You" is a rarely-covered song originally recorded by rocker Billy Squier in 1981, the album is filled with familiar classics, whether traditional or contemporary, from "O Holy Night" and "This Christmas" to a medley of "Away In A Manger"/"O Little Town Of Bethlehem." McPhee also wrote an original song for the album.
Jackie Evancho, the 10 year old who should have won "America's Got Talent," and has the voice of an angel has come out with her first album (OK, it's a mini album) and it is dedicated to Christams songs. Her mini-CD "O Holy Night" – four songs, four clips from the TV show, a YouTube clip and an interview debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Holiday Chart. The four songs, including "Silent Night," clock in at 15 minutes.
Susan Boyle, the international sensation from "Britain's Got Talent," comes out with her first Christmas Album, "The Gift," featuring several traditional Christmas songs, including "Do You Hear What I Hear?" with Amber Stassi, "The First Noel," "O Holy Night," "Away in a Manger," and "O Come, All Ye Faithful." It also features her current single, "Perfect Day," and includes covers of such classics as Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" (one of my all-time favorite songs) and Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over." "Auld Lang Syne" is usually reserved for bidding farewell to a year gone by, but for Boyle, she'll cherish these times. She's living her dream — what a gift.
