House Passes Gottheimer-Lucas Bill for Transparency, Accountability at Federal Reserve
f t # e
Washington, March 12, 2019 | comments
Yesterday, the House passed H.R. 974, the Federal Reserve Supervision Testimony Clarification Act, sponsored by Congressmen Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05) and Frank Lucas (OK-03), members of the House Committee on Financial Services. The bill mandates that in the absence of a Vice Chair of Supervision on the Federal Reserve Board, someone from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors must appear before Congress to testify on supervisory issues. It also mandates that the Vice Chairman for Supervision must provide written testimony, in addition to verbal testimony.
After more than seven years of the position being vacant, the current Vice Chair of Supervision, Randal Quarles, finally testified before the Financial Services Committee on November 14, 2018.
Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05) said, "Congress has a clear responsibility to ensure that the Federal Reserve is operating in the best interests of the American taxpayer. I want to know how the Fed is regulating our financial institutions and what we can do to cut the red tape and grow our economy, but we can't do that if the Fed Board does not come testify on its work before Congress. This legislation will boost government transparency and accountability, and I'm looking forward to it being signed into law."
Congressman Frank Lucas (OK-03) said, "One of the most important roles that Congress is entitled is that of providing congressional oversight to federal agencies and departments. Since its adoption in 2010, Dodd-Frank has expanded the Federal Reserve's regulatory authority and established a number of new agencies and positions in order to implement regulatory policies- including the Vice Chair for Supervision. Following the enactment of Dodd-Frank, Congress has received minimal testimony on regulatory issues from the Fed. The American people deserve to know that the Federal Reserve is acting upon the best interests of the American taxpayer. H.R. 974, sponsored by my friend and colleague, Rep. Gottheimer, ensures that the Fed continues to be held accountable to Congress and I look forward to moving it through the legislative process."

The Country Bears Review
By Sean O'Connell
Never mind comic books and video games... Believe it or not, Walt Disney's The Country Bears is (to our knowledge) the first movie based on an amusement park attraction. What's next, It's A Small World: The Motion Picture? Maybe Journey Through The Hall Of Presidents? [No, but The Pirates of the Caribbean comes out in 2003. -Ed.]
In the film, a cub named Beary runs away from his human family to find his heroes, a defunct musical act dubbed The Country Bears. Beary knows he doesn't belong with the members of his foster family and is drawn by the promise that you can be "different" with the Bears, and still be accepted. But the Bears have more issues than an episode of Behind the Music. A sleazy banker (Christopher Walken) seeks to foreclose on Country Bear Hall if back payments totaling $20,000 aren't made immediately. Beary convinces the band to hold a reunion show to save their cherished performance hall. Unfortunately, getting the disgruntled musicians under the same roof becomes an unbearable challenge.

Motivated solely by corporate greed, Disney has recently begun cranking out low-ambition, high-profit margin throwaway pictures as bad as any of the odious junkers (e.g. "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes") that the studio released in the 1960s and '70s.
If it's not soulless, uncalled for sequels ("Return to Never Land," "Cinderella 2"), it's hackneyed kiddie-angst comedies ("The Princess Diaries," "Max Keeble's Big Move") with no greater purpose than the mindless, robotic recycling of familiar themes to sell soundtracks and videos through relentless self-promotion on ABC TV and Radio Disney.
But this trend may have hit a new low with the release of "The Country Bears," in which writer Mark Perez and director Peter Hastings take an outdated, Chuck E. Cheese-quality Disneyland attraction called the Country Bear Jamboree and turn it into a trite, cliché-packed embarrassment of a feature film.

ADB to allocate funds for solar power plant in Kazakhstan
4 July 2019 12:58 (UTC+04:00)
By Abdul Kerimkhanov
Kazakhstan has significant solar energy resources. The potential production of solar energy in the country is estimated at 2.5 billion kWh per year. About 70 percent of the territory of Kazakhstan is areas with predominance of sunny days in a year. The duration of sunshine here ranges from 2,800 to 3,000 hours a year.
These resources have not been widely used until recently. However, today, there is a successful cooperation with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in this area.
ADB and Kazakh company M-KAT Green have agreed on a loan in tenge equivalent to $30.5 million.
M-KAT Green special purpose entity belongs to Total Eren SA, a leading French independent power producer. The project is co-financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and is the first ADB project in Central Asia with Total Eren.
Wolfgang Pohime, ADB Investment Officer in the Private Sector, said that this project will be one of the largest in the field of solar energy in Central Asia and an important step forward, taking into account the need of Kazakhstan's energy sector in investments to modernize outdated assets and expand capacity to meet growing electricity needs.
He noted that ADB assistance will have a demonstrative effect for other potential developers and sponsors in determining the viability of future solar energy projects.
A power plant with a capacity of 100 megawatts is already under construction in the south-east of the country, near the town of Shu in the Jambyl region. It will occupy an area of 500 hectares, and its commissioning is planned for the end of this year. ADB supported the project jointly with the EBRD, building on a successful partnership between the two organizations in financing renewable energy projects in Kazakhstan.
The power plant will help Kazakhstan meet its obligations under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change by reducing carbon emissions. The generated electricity will be sold in accordance with the 15-year agreement on the purchase of electricity between M-KAT Green and the Financial Settlement Center of Renewable Energy which is owned by Kazakhstan Electricity Grid Operating Company (KEGOC).
The ADB report noted that coal-fired power plants account for 80 percent of the electricity produced in Kazakhstan. About 70 percent of installed capacity is considered technically obsolete, and the shortage of electricity persists, especially in the southern region.
In 2013, Kazakhstan announced a plan for transition to a green economy and an increase in the share of clean energy to 50 percent of total electricity production by 2050.

Newborn & Baby Development
Are Baby Vaccines Safe?
Learn if baby vaccines are safe from pediatrician Dyan Hes, M.D. in this Howcast video about newborn and baby development.
Vaccines are 100 percent safe. In my practice I follow the American Academy of Pediatrics vaccination schedule, and all of my patients, 100 percent of them, are vaccinated on time. Vaccines protect children from infant mortality.
And a lot of the information out there on the Internet and in books is not science based evidence and might be one author's opinion and might be an anecdote that was not validated. And it causes mass hysteria in the world of parenting. There are a lot of people out there that have strong voices about being against vaccines, and they've done a huge disservice to the children of this country.
We're facing an epidemic now of pertussis, so I recommend that all your children be vaccinated on time and all parents and caretakers get the pertussis booster. It's available at your doctor's office, and if you can't get it at your doctor you can go to a pediatrician's office and get it. In addition, there is a measles outbreak in the United States, which we haven't seen for years, because of parents delaying or refusing vaccines.
I feel, as a doctor and a parent, that it would be unjust and unfair for me to have unvaccinated children in my practice. I have parents who have cancer or who are immunosuppressed for other health reasons. They are sitting in my waiting room. It would be unfair for me to let a child walk in my office and expose them to measles, or to pertussis, or another infectious disease that could've been prevented if they gave childhood vaccines.
Vaccines do not cause autism. All of that research has been debunked. It's a myth. It's hysteria. Honestly, we wish we knew what causes autism, but it is not the vaccines. Studies have been done over and over again repeatedly proving that vaccines do not cause autism. However, autism is a horrible diagnosis to give a parent, and a lot of parents are very angry and they want a reason why their child has something. But, as a pediatrician, I am telling my patients and the parents out there it is not from the vaccines, and the vaccines protect your child and enable them to live a long, healthy life without catching a communicable disease.

Sen. Sanders: If Lieberman filibusters health reform, force it through
David Edwards and Stephen Webster
Facing the threat of a filibuster by Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CN) over the public option remaining in Democrats' health reform bill, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) does not seem gravely concerned.
Should Lieberman try to prevent the bill from coming to a vote, "there are other ways that we have to proceed," Sanders told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Monday. "I would strongly support those other ways."
Sanders was referring to budget reconciliation, a bureaucratic tactic that has been used repeatedly to push through Congress controversial measures that could not acquire a super-majority of 60 or more votes. Under reconciliation, a measure only needs a simple majority of 50 votes to pass.

Sixty U.S. Senators currently caucus with Democrats.
While congressional Republicans tend to howl at even the threat of such a measure being used to pass legislation they are opposed to, the GOP used reconciliation against Democrats in 1980, 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005, according to MSNBC host Keith Olbermann.
"The American people overwhelmingly want a public option, for a variety of reasons," Sen. Sanders said. "Correctly, they want a choice between a private insurance company and a Medicare-type plan, and they should have that choice. And, maybe even more importantly, if we're serious about cost containment — if we're serious about the United States now spending almost twice as much per person on health care as any other country — you're going to need somebody, some entity, competing with the private insurance companies so they don't continue to raise their rates and raise their rates. And that's what a public option does."
Also appearing on MSNBC Monday was Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), who predicted on Keith Olbermann's program that a package of health reforms would pass before Christmas.
This video is from MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show, broadcast Nov. 9, 2009.

Bob Brigham
MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace worried that Democrats are repeating the mistakes made in 2004 that resulted in Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) losing the presidential election.
Wallace asked her panel why Democrats weren't fighting back harder against Trump's racism.
"Because none of them have the gumption, the backbone and the moral clarity to make these arguments," Dr. Jason Johnson said. "This disgusts me."
"That's what people worry about with Donald Trump being able to be re-elected because he has conviction. Even if the conviction is wrong,' he explained.
"They're thinking strategically instead of morally. That's the problem, this is not a strategic issue. It's a moral issue. I don't think the Democrats get it," he worried.

Things are not looking good for Republican Senator Susan Collins' reelection
Sarah K. Burris
Things are not looking good for Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), who is up for reelection in 2020.
Collins has made a series of votes that are far more conservative than the people in her home state. Collins is one of very few Republicans willing to say that she is pro-choice. Planned Parenthood eve awarded her with an ally award.
When she met with Judge Brett Kavanaugh, however, she said that he believed Roe v. Wade was the law of the land, making her believe that he would never act to undermine it. Then Kavanaugh ruled to allow such strict abortion laws in Louisiana that it would leave just one clinic left for the entire state.

Emergencies — To call the police, dial (tel) 113; for an ambulance (tel) 118; for a fire (tel) 115.
Internet Access — Wi-Fi is standard in all Rome hotels these days and is available for free in many cafes and information points. If you need a terminal, try Internet Train, Piazza Sant'Andrea della Valle, 3, (tel) 06-97273136; Bus: 3, 71, or 492.

Don't lay anything valuable on outdoor tables or chairs, where it can be grabbed up. Groups of child pickpockets have long been a particular menace, although the problem isn't as severe as in years past. They might approach you with pieces of cardboard hiding their stealing hands. Just keep repeating a firm no!


A Professor of International Law and Jurisprudence, Akin Oyebode, on Tuesday called for constitutional and electoral reforms to accommodate electronic voting and transmission of results.
Oyebode told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos that such reforms would strengthen electoral processes in the country.
Oyebode said: "Nigeria is trudging along a steep learning curve as far as elections are concerned despite having a history stretching all the way back to 1922.
"First and foremost, our political actors need to imbibe a true democratic ethos in order to play the game according to the rules.
"Secondly, there is a felt need for reform of our Constitution and electoral laws in order to admit of digitalisation and electronic voting and transmission of results.

Growing up in Iowa, I always looked forward to the warm glow of a fire in winter. Whether it's gas, electric or wood, a fireplace adds ambiance to holiday gatherings.
First fire of the season. If you rent a home or apartment with a working fireplace, spend a few minutes with the Management Company or owner on how best to open up the fireplace for the season. Does the chimney need to be swept? Do you need to buy and burn a special creosote cleaning log?
Remember that birds and animals may nest in the chimney if there's no chimney cap, and many renters have faced finding animals in a dormant chimney. If that happens, contact your maintenance team or manager for help.
If your home has a gas fireplace, you may want to ask your management company to show you how to turn this on. Turning on the gas for the first time in winter can cause a distinct odor, and a dry run during business hours may save you from a panicked call later.
Staying safe: Once you have used the fireplace, keeping it clean and closed is important. Be sure to properly dispose of any ash if you are burning wood or fire logs. Let the fire die out, perhaps overnight. The next day, feel the ash and be sure that it's cooled and can be disposed of properly.
Close the flue when your fire is completely extinguished. This will keep cold air from coming into your home and warm air inside. Gas fireplaces must be properly turned off as you leave the room. They should never be left unattended.


Adrien Rabiot will spend an indefinite spell out of Paris Saint-Germain's starting XI after saying he will not extend his contract.
Adrien Rabiot looks set to leave Paris Saint-Germain after informing the club he will not sign a new contract.
PSG sporting director Antero Henrique said Rabiot, 23, had "misled" the club over his intention to re-sign and would spend an indefinite period on the bench as a result.
Henrique did not confirm whether the Barcelona-linked midfielder will be sold in January, but that now appears the Ligue 1 side's only hope of attracting a fee before his deal expires in June.
Liverpool, Tottenham and Juventus are among a range of European heavyweights that have reportedly considered approaches in the upcoming transfer window.
Asked whether PSG will attempt to reopen talks, Henrique told Yahoo Sport France: "At this point, no. It was a decision made by the club following a meeting I had with the player.
"The player informed me that he would not sign a contract and that he wanted to leave the club by being free at the end of the season, at the end of his contract.
"For the player, this will have a very clear consequence: he will remain on the bench for an indefinite period."
PSG boss Thomas Tuchel earlier this year challenged Rabiot – who rejected the chance to feature on France's standby list of players for the World Cup – to resolve his future following intense speculation over a switch to Camp Nou.
Henrique claimed subsequent discussions with his agent had progressed to the point of a final agreement looking close and has now accused them of disrespecting the club.
"It seems that the player and his representative have misled us for several months," he said.
"I must add that this situation is disrespectful for both the club and the fans, especially from a player who has played under our colours from the training centre to the first team, a player who has always received the full support of the club."

18 fantasy football sleepers for the 2019 season

By Jeff Ratcliffe
Fantasy football sleepers aren't what they used to be. A decade ago, you could show up at your draft armed with the top under-the-radar guys and clean house. But in today's era of social media and 24-hour football news feeds, sleepers are much harder to come by. That said, you can still find fantasy football sleepers in 2019 if you look in the right places. Here are the top fantasy football sleepers by position for your 2019 fantasy football drafts.
Jameis Winston, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Last year was a season to forget for Winston. He started the season suspended and had to watch as Ryan Fitzpatrick worked his magic. But Winston regained his starting job and looked magical himself with a No. 1 finish in Week 6. He then lost the job to Fitzpatrick again, only to regain it down the stretch. Despite that bumpy ride, Winston was actually very solid from Week 11 on, ranking eighth among quarterbacks in fantasy scoring. That positive momentum is encouraging, as is the fact that Bruce Arians is in at head coach. Arians' vertical offense and the Bucs fleet of pass catching talent bode well for Winston.
Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals
We don't quite know what to expect out of the first overall selection in this year's draft, but Murray certainly comes with a lot of exciting potential. He was electrifying at Oklahoma last year, flashing game breaking speed as a runner and the ability to spin the ball as a passer. That Russell Wilson-esque combination of skills gives Murray mouthwatering fantasy potential, as does the prospects of Kliff Kingsbury's offense. However, the Cardinals still have a long way to go on the offensive side of the ball, especially along the offensive line. If things break the right way in Arizona, Murray has the skill set to be an instant top-12 fantasy quarterback.
Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens
No one is going to mistake Jackson for a traditional dropback passer, but he doesn't need to be one in order to have fantasy value. Despite not taking over starting duties until Week 11, Jackson led all quarterbacks in rushing yards (693) and attempts (148). He also ranked ninth at the position in fantasy scoring during that stretch. Of course, it's unreasonable to expect Jackson to continue to average 17-plus carries per game over the course of the 2019 season, but he's still going to run a lot. It's completely reasonable to expect 180-plus carries for the year. Jackson isn't the safest fantasy option, but his ability as a runner gives him QB1 upside.
Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
Like Jackson, Allen got it done with his legs in 2018. The former first-rounder ranked second among quarterbacks in rushing yards (631) and led the position with a massive eight rushing scores. And that was in just 12 games. This rushing production led to absolute monster fantasy numbers out of Allen down the stretch, where he ranked second among signal callers in fantasy scoring from Weeks 12-17. We can't necessarily count on the touchdown productivity to stick, but Allen's legs offer the appeal of a modern fantasy quarterback. While he isn't the most consistent passers, he's also displayed some major upside in that department. He'll also have some veteran stability at wide receiver thanks to the Bills' offseason addition of John Brown. Allen is perhaps the riskiest of this bunch, but there's no denying his high fantasy ceiling.
Miles Sanders, Philadelphia Eagles
NFL teams can't lie in the draft, and the Eagles selecting Sanders in the second round suggests they plan on using him fairly heavily in 2019 and beyond. The former Penn Stater spent a good chunk of his college career as Saquon Barkley's understudy. But Sanders put up strong production in 2018 and then blew up the combine with some of the best testing numbers of all the running backs invited. Sanders brings a three-down ability that meshes well with Doug Pederson's offense. Jordan Howard will likely see his share of the work in early downs, but Sanders clearly offers more fantasy upside even in a committee situation. He's a prime middle-round running back target.
Rashaad Penny, Seattle Seahawks
Heading into last season, Penny looked like he had a chance to take control of the Seahawks backfield after Seattle selected him in the first round of the 2018 draft. But that wasn't the case, as Chris Carson held serve and went on to rack up 247 rushing attempts. Entering this year, Carson is still in the driver's seat, but there's plenty of meat on the bone for Penny in the extremely run-heavy Seahawks offense. He's also generated some positive offseason buzz for his conditioning. With Mike Davis now in Chicago, Penny is the clear No. 2 in the Seattle backfield, which is enough to give him fringe RB3 value, and he's positioned as one of the league's better handcuffs. If Carson went down with injury, Penny would be an instant RB2-plus.
Royce Freeman, Denver Broncos
At this time last year, fantasy momentum started to build for Freeman, and he ended up going as high as the third round in drafts. Right backfield, wrong player, as Phillip Lindsay seemingly came out of nowhere and became one of the biggest fantasy surprises in recent memory. While 2018 was disappointing for those who spent a priority pick on Freeman, it isn't wise to completely write him off just yet. Freeman tended to face more base defense than Lindsay. He also flashed upside in Week 17, especially as a receiver, catching eight balls on 10 targets. Lindsay is still the preferred fantasy option in Denver, but Freeman offers handcuff-plus value at a discounted price.
Damien Harris, New England Patriots
A bruising back who is coming off a productive college career, Harris topped 1,000 rushing yards in sophomore and junior years despite being in a loaded Alabama backfield. His yards per carry dipped somewhat last year, but he still managed a respectable 5.8 mark. Harris was especially effective as a runner in the red zone, which contributed to his 20 rushing scores over the last two seasons. While his 4.57 40-yard dash time at the combine doesn't jump off the page, Harris did show explosion with a 37-inch vertical jump. The biggest question for Harris' fantasy value in 2019 is Sony Michel's health. If Michel is good to go, Harris will likely only be a complementary piece. That said, he has the potential to be much more right out of the gate for the Patriots.
Carlos Hyde, Kansas City Chiefs
Fantasy value can change quickly, especially at running back. Hyde was a top-10 fantasy finisher in 2017, and last year he barely cracked the top 50 at the position. Of course, he did so after being traded by the Browns to the Jaguars just six weeks into the season. But there's a new hope that Hyde can hold on to at least moderate fantasy value in the Kansas City backfield. Damien Williams seems to be locked in as the lead back, but a recent quote from Andy Reid suggests Kansas City could use a committee approach in their backfield. While Williams should open the season as the starter, Hyde is an interesting handcuff who would see a major boost in the potent Chiefs offense if Williams went down.
Anthony Miller, Chicago Bears
He was one of the sexier picks in fantasy drafts last season, but rookie wideouts are notoriously fickle fantasy producers. Miller battled injury for a chunk of the season and saw just 15 targets through the first six weeks of the season. He was able to right the ship from there and notched 26 targets over his next four games. Miller finished the season a lackluster 60th among wideouts in fantasy scoring, but he did so while scoring an impressive seven touchdowns. That efficiency shouldn't go understated. Like the Bears offense as a whole, Miller is positioned well to take a step forward this year. Matt Nagy's second year at head coach along with Mitchell Trubisky's continued improvement bode well for that to happen. Miller screams upside in the late rounds.
Donte Moncrief, Pittsburgh Steelers
He may not be getting the most attention out of the Pittsburgh receivers, but we shouldn't overlook Moncrief heading into this season. The veteran wideout has yet to put it altogether in his pro career but did flash potential in 2015 when he posted 733 yards and six scores on 64 catches. Injuries derailed Moncrief for big chunks of 2016 and 2017, and playing with Blake Bortles in Jacksonville last year did little to improve his fantasy outlook. But it's a new day for Moncrief in 2019. He has a legitimate shot at filling some of the void left by Antonio Brown. While Moncrief is far from a lock for No. 2 duties in Pittsburgh, he's the favorite to do so. Earning that job would likely mean WR3 production from Moncrief.
Dante Pettis, San Francisco 49ers
It's tough to get a complete handle on the 49ers wide receiver corps entering 2019, but if we are going to endorse one of their receivers for fantasy purposes it's Pettis. We didn't see much of him for the first 11 weeks of the season, but Pettis rattled off four straight weeks of top-25 fantasy production starting in Week 12. Over that span, he was the fantasy's No. 7 wide receiver. Of course, that's an extremely small sample size, but it does show what Pettis is capable of for fantasy purposes. He'll also be in a better situation to produce this season with Jimmy Garoppolo back under center for the 49ers. Pettis is far from a lock for fantasy production, but he is an intriguing upside option to consider at the back end of the WR3s.
DaeSean Hamilton, Denver Broncos
Buried on the Broncos depth chart for most of last season, Hamilton seized his opportunity after Emmanuel Sanders went down with injury. Over the final four weeks of the season, Hamilton racked up 25 catches — only seven wideouts had more over that span. More importantly, none of those seven was named Courtland Sutton. Hamilton's value is closely tied to Sanders' status. With it looking like Sanders will avoid the PUP, Hamilton will likely be buried yet again. But given the potential reward if he does see the field, Hamilton is well worth the risk in the late rounds.
Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens
If you're looking for a late-round tight end dart who is likely to still be on the board at the very end of your drafts this year, Andrews just might be your guy. The second-year man quietly put up over 550 receiving yards last season. Yes, the Ravens do also have Hayden Hurst entering his second season, but Andrews is the superior receiving option of the two. Lamar Jackson's accuracy issues may be a reason to stay away from Baltimore's wide receivers in fantasy, but this shouldn't have as big of an impact on Andrews. In fact, Andrews had his best fantasy performance of the season last year with Jackson under center in Week 16. Andrews is a sneaky tight end sleeper to target at the end of your drafts.
Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles
The second-year man has been the talk of the town in Philly throughout the offseason into training camp. Goedert was lightly used last year, catching 33 balls for 334 yards and four scores, but his role is expected to expand this season. Of course, there's a Zach Ertz-sized elephant in the room. Ertz's presence in the Eagles' offense puts a cap on Goedert's fantasy upside. That said, Goedert would be an instant top-five fantasy option if Ertz went down with an injury.
T.J. Hockenson, Detroit Lions
Uber-athletic with an all-around game, Hockenson graded out as the No. 2 tight end in the nation last season. While his college numbers don't necessarily jump off the page, don't read too much into his stats. Splitting the workload with Noah Fant capped his numbers. That said, he still managed an impressive 760 yards on 49 catches last season. Hockenson went eighth overall in April's draft, and is on the fast track to lots of reps for the Lions this year. While rookie tight ends often don't post consistent fantasy production, Hockenson's major upside is worth a late-round dart in deeper leagues.
Noah Fant, Denver Broncos
Like Hockenson, Fant is athletic as all get up with size (6-4, 249) and speed – he ran a 4.50 40-yard dash at the combine. Fant tallied 18 touchdowns over the last two seasons despite splitting the workload with Hockenson. Given his overall profile, Fant enters the NFL with major fantasy upside. The Broncos tight ends room is a bit more crowded than what Hockenson is facing in Detroit, but he's still a deeper name to target in your fantasy drafts.
Darren Waller, Oakland Raiders
If you haven't heard of Waller, you aren't alone. The former Georgia Tech tight end has been in the NFL since 2015 but has just 18 career receptions to his name. So why are we pegging him as a sleeper? It really comes down to opportunity. With Jared Cook in New Orleans, Waller is in a prime position to produce for the Raiders this season. Derek Carr looked Cook's way often last season, so expect a good chunk of those targets to be funneled to Waller in 2019. He's far from a safe bet, but Waller's athletic profile and role in the Oakland offense make him an ultra-sneaky tight end sleeper.

In the months that have followed Britain's historic vote to leave the European Union, we have seen monumental change. We now have a new Prime Minister and a radically different cabinet. Out with the Etonian, Notting Hill Set and in with Theresa May and her more diverse cabinet.
The rebellion by those who for decades felt totally disenfranchised with the current political establishment had arrived. Now it was up to those in charge to decide which route to take following the referendum.
The Welsh economy had left huge sections of society behind, areas of large deprivation which had lost their traditional industries had failed to see their lives improved. The EU's regional development fund had pumped hundreds of millions of pounds into South Wales and into infrastructure improvements. What the Welsh Government and the EU failed to realise is that what people in deprived areas need is, sustainable, well-paid jobs and most of all, hope.
This feeling of losing control is not just isolated to areas of high deprivation, but in other wealthier areas of Wales, which have received low investment for decades, and feel as though governments have prioritised the handful of metropolitan cities over rural Wales.
The EU referendum election saw a 71.6% turnout in Wales, with 51.9% backing LEAVE and 48.1% backing REMAIN. Overall, 77.27% of council areas voted LEAVE.
This was a firm rejection of the current political establishment and the direction in which they were taking Britain. People showed they want to take back control of their lives from unaccountable politicians and institutions.
This was not just a vote by impoverished working class communities, but a vote against the status quo by voters of every class, tax bracket and locality. Many voted not by listening to politicians and the media, but by listening to their conscience and voting according to their life experiences.

The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio
Thoughtful and energetic....Anderson has in Ryan's story a bittersweet exemplar for the unsung toil and love of prefeminist desperate housewives...
99 min. DreamWorks Pictures. Director: Jane Anderson. Cast: Julianne Moore, Woody Harrelson, Laura Dern, Frank Chiesurin, Trevor Morgan.
Writer-director Jane Anderson's thoughtful and energetic film The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio faithfully adapts Terry "Tuff" Ryan's non-fiction family memoir. The Ryan family lived hand-to-mouth in the '50s and '60s, but matriarch Evelyn Ryan supported her husband and ten children as her alcoholic husband Kelly repeatedly failed to stabilize himself or the household.
Julianne Moore fully captures Evelyn's use of "underused wits," discipline, and gumption to enter every contest she can find and to win most of them. Anderson finds humor in the bygone days before contest promises became empty, but plenty of pathos in Ryan's bravery, faith, and devotion to her family and her own irrepressible muse (best expressed through rhyming jingle couplets). Evelyn's poignant story celebrates personal triumph but also slyly salutes creative American entrepeneurship. Accordingly, Anderson includes a "contesting" women's club called the Affadaisies, led by a sunny Laura Dern, but the writing is on the wall as telemarketing and bait-and-switch tactics replace the innocence of contests.
Evelyn's optimistic pastel wonderland (represented by '50s-styled fantasy visuals accompanying first-person narration) must consciously suppress dark tones. Woody Harrelson nicely handles the role of Kelly, whose masculine pride is battered by his breadwinning wife; as Evelyn wriggles out of her gender box, Kelly's only seems to tighten ("You're too damn happy!" he tells her). If his frustrations burst out in alcohol-fueled, impotent rages, resulting at times in "accidental" injuries to loved ones, Kelly can be defused just as quickly, like a dog rapped with a rolled-up newspaper.
In a road-trip scene played as a life-changing attitude adjustment for "Tuff," Evelyn explains to her realist daughter that life is to be cherished, even in its lowest moments; ironically, Terry has driven the license-less Evelyn on this rare escape from home, implying that the next generation will indeed be better off than its predecessor. Evelyn refuses to accept defeat or blame (unhelpfully, the police and church rush to the defense of her domestic abuser; the local priest offers only, "No one says life is easy"), but clings to the upbeat attitude that keeps her sane and active.
In Anderson's hands, the characters take on qualities more iconic than idiosyncratic, so the film has a calcified quality of history (despite Evelyn's protest "For God's sake, Kelly, I'm not a saint"). Still, Anderson has in Ryan's story a bittersweet exemplar for the unsung toil and love of prefeminist desperate housewives, caught in a gender tug-of-war with postwar men-around-the-houses.

Ancient Romans used to say "si vis pacem, para bellum", which one could rephrase as "if you want peace, prepare for war". War has always been much more than mere fighting. It affects society as a whole even in peacetime, for example in terms of training, preparation and strategy. Carl von Clausewitz wrote that war is the "continuation of politics by other means", meaning that war implies some transformation of mentality and the awareness that sometimes dialogue and compromise are not enough to compose litigation between two countries o two communities. However, war is no necessity. The Latin motto cited above must be read ironically, especially because it sounds very useful for any imperialistic ideology aiming to preserve its power and privileges by threatening other countries by stockpiling weapons and training big armies. War is not desirable, and as the French WWI veteran Jean Giono said, war does not uphold peace. All the opposite: war produces war, while peace is just another path. But one could say that it takes a long way to understand this, or better, it takes experience.
War is a brutal affair, but it has been and continues to be a key aspect of human history and social change. The Humanities and the Social Sciences can help us make sense of that, because they talk about who we are and they help us define our experience. They can also help us make sense of the disturbing aspects of the human character which become so evident in war. The violent nature of wars and conflicts and their effects on societies around the world and throughout history raise complex moral and ethical questions the answer to which is generally very controversial. For example is war always wrong? How can we explain our behaviour in war? Why do we wage war?
We believe that the best way to address these complex questions (again, ambitious project!) is to look at the cultural aspects of war and conflict, really focusing on the human experience of those who were (or are) there. We want to talk about 'what it is like' to be there, and for us the best way to do it is with the help of the Humanities. 'Cultural aspects' means that any kind of narrative about war and conflict is interesting for us, as well as any kind of representation, from literary, journalistic and artistic portrayals to exhibits and museums.
Combatants are not the only witnesses of war. Civilians, journalists, NGOs-operators, and other groups can equally tell stories about war insofar as they have seen it. The strength of such stories rests on their ability to convince others that war is, or is not, a worthwhile experience. They have come across war and gone through it, for better or worse. All those who have seen war have experienced violence and its corruption. Story-telling, together with other things (such as monuments, museums, celebrations, and others) embodies atonement, purification and return to civil society. Witnesses can share their opinions about war, can use words as a new and not lethal weapons to support the cause of fighting or that of peace. Story-telling is a particular encounter with war for those who have no clear idea of what war is. A narrated conflict is a cultural object. It is made of images and words; its very fabric is the rhetoric of story-telling, and later on of history. From facts to stories, war transforms itself into an experience of suffering and violence which can be made without the risk of getting overwhelmed and harmed.
All representation is interpretation. It has its own reality but it also contributes to create new reality. Representation-interpretation transfigures war into an indirect experience, an intellectual one. One could say that a discourse on war is true because it has been produced by an eye-witness or by an objectively detached and well-informed historian. But how can one tell the difference? Where is the limit between war as reality and war as a vision? The Humanities and the Social Sciences set the tools, critical and intellectual, to face this methodological and epistemological questions. What's more, they also help understand those questions ethically.
War as an encounter with the unknown, the unexpected, the undesirable implies an understanding of what encountering 'the enemy', 'the other', or merely 'the different' means. Disciplines such as history, philosophy, literature, sociology, anthropology, psychology and others can help us discern and comprehend.

Turkey-US Relations Post-Brunson
In the first year of President Trump's tenure, Turkish-American relations went through what we can call a period of "sizing up," as hopes for a new beginning were somewhat moderated by strategic challenges. The Trump administration had inherited the Obama policy of supporting "local forces" (read YPG) against Daesh with no U.S. boots on the ground save for the "military advisors." Turkey was patient in Trump's first year to allow the administration some time to re-evaluate the mission and start working with Turkey instead of the PKK's Syrian branch. When it became clear that the Trump administration would settle on the same policy, Turkey launched a military operation in Afrin to ensure the YPG forces would not go west of the Euphrates river.
The serious divergence on the ground in northern Syria has continued, but efforts to put the U.S.-Turkey relationship back on track also continued, as outstanding legal cases (Brunson and Zarrab cases) were compartmentalized away from broader policy questions. However, the pressure from the Evangelical base of the Trump administration led to an ill-timed ultimatum by President Trump and Vice President Pence, resulting in yet another bilateral crisis.
Brunson's return to the U.S. and President Trump's hosting of the pastor in the oval office with high level administration officials sends a strong message to the Evangelical base ahead of the midterm elections in November. Not that Trump risked losing the support of the Evangelicals, but Brunson's return gives his standing with Evangelical supporters a big boost.
As a result of the pressure, the U.S. imposed sanctions against Turkish ministers and additional steel and aluminum tariffs, a first against a NATO ally. These measures appeared to be largely symbolic, but they had a serious impact on the Turkish Lira's devaluation against the U.S. dollar. As Turkey refused to bow down to such economic pressures, the relationship came to the brink of total breakdown. Clearly, the Brunson case was a major catalyzer in this process, but the underlying strategic disagreements and the already existing mutual distrust has created a fertile ground for a major crisis.
With the Turkish courts deciding to release Pastor Brunson last week, however, an important new phase might just be starting in the bilateral relationship. Brunson's return to the U.S. and President Trump's hosting of the pastor in the oval office with high level administration officials sends a strong message to the Evangelical base ahead of the midterm elections in November.
Not that Trump risked losing the support of the Evangelicals, but Brunson's return gives his standing with Evangelical supporters a big boost. Turkish leadership has maintained the legal process played itself out and both sides insisted there was no specific deal. We should note that there does not need to be a deal for this development to have a positive impact on the U.S.-Turkey relationship.
The fact that a legal case derailed the relationship between two NATO allies should give everyone a pause. It underscores the complexity of the strategic environment in Turkey's immediate neighborhood and heightened security concerns Turkey feels as a result of U.S. policies in the region. President Trump's positive remarks about Turkey reflect his concern over his standing with the Evangelical voters, but this will not be enough for a broader strategic conversation between the U.S. and Turkey.
The recent changes in the U.S. Syria policy have given at least a limited amount of reassurances to Turkey that its interests would be taken into consideration more carefully. The U.S. rhetorical support for Turkey against an imminent military operation against Idlib was a welcome development in this sense. Yet, without a more comprehensive policy coordination between two sides, the mutual skepticism will continue, especially as the U.S. continues to support the YPG.
The upside for the relationship is that the "sizing up" period may be over and both sides are much clearer about their positions. The ambiguities regarding northern Syria as well as the uncertain fate of the Brunson case are no longer excuses for the lack of an honest dialogue. The regional crises will almost certainly create new challenges and the U.S.-Turkey ties will be tried. The lesson from the Brunson case is that Turkey will not bow to threats and pressures, and that the U.S. will need to pursue diplomatic options instead. Going forward, a talk-first-shoot-later approach will have to win for a healthier U.S.-Turkey relationship.

If you are going through sensitive circumstances with your family or other close relationships, we are here to help you resolve your issues objectively and compassionately. Our lawyers are experienced in getting our clients through the legal system as quickly and inexpensively as possible. We can assist you whether or not your case should settle or go to trial.
Do you need help with a divorce?
We can also assist in the Dissolution of Domestic Partnerships.
Do you need help with child custody?
There are two common types of custody: joint legal custody, and sole legal custody. Joint custody refers to the parents sharing the decision-making about a child regardless of the amount of actual time the child spends with, or lives with, one parent or the other. Joint legal custody in Oregon is where parents share the role of decision maker regarding care, control, education, health, religion and residence of their minor child(ren). Sole legal custody in Oregon means that the custodial parent makes all major decisions regarding the child. These major decisions may include the child's religious and educational training, health care and where the child will live. Usually the child lives with the sole custodial parent most of the time. We can also help you with parenting time plans and more.
Do you need to modify a court ordered plan?
Modifications refer to the post-divorce process. People seeking modifications of financial orders need to file a motion and show the court that there has been a substantial change on a party's financial circumstances. We can help you do this. Several agreements stem from a court order, and some are modifiable. For example, child support is always modifiable. Alimony is usually modifiable, but courts can order it to be non-modifiable. Custody is always subject to modification, as is visitation. If you need help modifying or enforcing these types of court agreements, contact us.

Expecting first child
Braxton and Herbert announce they are expecting their first child together. The couple waited a few months before announcing the news because she was told by doctors that getting pregnant would be difficult.
We decided not to announce the pregnancy until we were both really okay with it — that's why we waited.
Promotes Gaga

Carter and Herbert promote Gaga in San Francisco and L.A. Carter:
[Gaga had just been dropped by Def Jam Records. Carter had just been fired by Eve Jeffers, his biggest client. And Herbert had just left his label at Universal to start over fresh] So everybody had something to prove, and nothing to lose. We went from club to club. She was in the front seat of our friend's truck. Going to four clubs a night, playing for a couple hundred people, between L.A. and San Francisco. She pretty much wore the same outfit for one year. It was something no one had seen before. Top 40 radio was telling us we had to get on dance stations, and it was gay music, not what they played.
Carter called club promoters, designers, DJs, media.
This was hand-to-hand combat
Herbert:
We didn't have money for the ideas we wanted. We didn't have people paying attention to us. We had none of that support. But what we had was each other. We had heart.
Carter, Gaga meet
Lady GagaTroy CarterMeeting
Facing eviction from his office, Carter is introduced to Lady Gaga by Herbert, the executive producer at her record label. Carter becomes her manager.
Vince is a big guy, and I see him walking through the reception area. And behind him, I see this girl with these big shoes, and big black eyeglasses, and fishnet stockings, and no pants, just a leotard. We hit it off right away. Everything she is today she was when she walked through the door. She just had a point of view. The music was there. You don't meet a lot of artists with vision, not early artists, not at the beginning.
He was going to lose his house. He had no Christmas gifts for his kids. But at the end of the day, if you're a good person like Troy is, good things will come to you…People still to this day, they don't understand, and try to figure it out. We still live in this world where there's black people and white people, and people say: 'Vince, you guys are two black guys. Why did you let this black guy be the manager of this white girl?' Because in music no one looks at color. They just look at each other's heart. And when you look at that, it has every color in the book.

Speakers: Amanda Beech, Anna Longo, Daniel Sacilotto, Inigo Wilkins.
This panel discussion brings together four speakers from the fields of philosophy, aesthetics, music and art to discuss some of the mechanisms by which possible worlds could be imagined, constructed and instantiated.
Given the highly coercive and heavily surveilled dynamics of the present moment, the question of construction, what we construct and its orientation to our future is ever present, and perhaps ever more urgent.
The question of constructing possible worlds is a challenge to the arts, centrally because art has often been understood as something outside of the norm; naturally resistant to functionality; a domain of the senses that apparently resists instrumentalization. We will explore amongst other things, how art's sensory and non-linguistic facility plays a part in constructing a future, asking if this complexity provides the dynamics by which to re-engineer a more robust integration of the speculative and the analytic.
Amanda Beech is an artist and writer. Her work proposes a new realist politics of the artwork and its possibilities in the context of contingency and neo-rationalist conceptions of power. Her recent work has included the comic strip Realism and its Discontents, for Art Margins, 2017, the video installation Covenant Transport Move or Die, exhibited at the Baltic Center for Contemporary Art, 2016-17, and her paintings, Cause and Effect for Lasalle Institute of Contemporary Art, Singapore, 2017. Her recent essays include 'How Art Ought to Think" in Art and Reason, 2018, and 'Cold World and Neo-Con Noir', in Cold War Cold World, Urbanomic, 2016.
Anna Longo has a Ph.D. in aesthetics from Université Paris 1, where she has been teaching and researching. She is currently working on Deleuze's mathematical differential ontogenesis and Fichte's aesthetics, and is currently editing two books: Retour de l'objet, retour de l'ontologie? (2019), Le paradoxe de la finitude (2019). She has also edited the volumes: La genèse du transcendantal (2017), Breaking the Spell: Speculative realism under discussion (2015), Time without Becoming (2014), and Il Divenire della Conoscenza (2013).
Daniel Sacilotto is a philosopher and an instructor in the CULB Comparative Literature program. His research focuses on the reconciliation of rationalism with materialism, and the pursuit of a revisionary naturalism through the work of Wilfrid Sellars, Alain Badiou, Lorenz Puntel, Jay Rosenberg, and Ray Brassier. He is currently preparing a monograph in which he develops a functionalist theory of cognition and realist theory of knowledge, chiefly inspired by the works of Wilfrid Sellars. His essays include: Puncturing the Circle of Correlation (2017); A Thought Disincarnate: What Does it Mean to Think?
(2018); Realism and Representation: On the Ontological Turn (2012).
Inigo Wilkins took his masters in Sonic Culture at the University of East London, and completed his doctorate in Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths in 2016. The title of his thesis was 'Irreversible Noise', which is the basis for a forthcoming publication by Urbanomic. He is co-director of the online arts journal and research platform Glass Bead (http://glass-bead.org/).
