Economics Professor Ibrahim M. Oweiss taught his last class Wednesday after a 35-year career at Georgetown.
Oweiss, who recently turned 70, said that his greatest accomplishment has been his teaching, to which he has devoted his life. "Education and teaching are my love," he said.
Oweiss left his native Egypt in 1960 to complete graduate work at the University of Minnesota, where he later taught. He began teaching economics at Georgetown in 1967 and was appointed First Under-Secretary for Economic Affairs in the Egyptian Cabinet in 1977 while on leave from the university. He also served as the Chief of the Egyptian Economic Mission to the U.S. In 1981 he developed the Oweiss demand curve, which attempted to find a theoretical framework for changes in the price of oil at Oxford University.
Oweiss said that one of his favorite experiences as a professor has been seeing the smiles of his students upon graduating. "It's not only a matter of teaching, it's a matter of involvement [with students]," Oweiss said. He said he remembered sharing shock and sorrow with his students the day artin Luther King, Jr. was shot, and more recently in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. On Sept. 12, Oweiss began class by recognizing a moment of prayer to honor the victims of the attacks. He was so overcome with emotion that he was unable to give his lecture and dismissed class.
"Professor Oweiss is like a father to all. Not only does he teach the principles of economics, he also teaches the principles of life," Oweiss' teaching assistant, Alvina Chan (SFS '02) said.
At his last lecture to his International Trade class on Wednesday, Oweiss discussed the potential of future political leaders. During his career, he taught former President Bill Clinton (SFS '68).
"When Bill Clinton walked into my class in 1967, I never thought that he would be the President of the United States," Oweiss said. He said he was proud when Clinton later told him that his class had "planted the idea of free trade," in his mind.
Oweiss, who was dressed in a convocation robe and cap, concluded by reading a poem he wrote for his two children and students which provided life advice. Oweiss and his wife, French Professor Celine Oweiss have two children, Yasmeen, (COL '01) and Kareem (SFS '02). "[My children] are also my greatest accomplishments," he said.
After retiring, Oweiss plans to devote more time to writing. He has two books coming out soon, one on economic theory and another on a ninth century classical work by a Muslim philosopher.

Salvador Perez's grand slam rallies Kansas City Royals past Boston Red Sox

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Salvador Perez had never hit a grand slam in the majors, but he had a premonition and an answered prayer in the eighth inning.
Perez went 3-for-3 with a grand slam as the Kansas City Royals rallied to defeat the Boston Red Sox 6-4 on Wednesday afternoon.
"I was thinking about it two pitches before," Perez said. "I don't know where it's coming through my mind, that I never hit one. I said, thank God. Unbelievable, huh."
Perez homered in the eighth inning after Red Sox relievers Matt Barnes and Robby Scott (0-1) walked the bases loaded with nobody out. Perez worked the count full before propelling a Scott pitch out to left, scoring Jorge Bonifacio, Lorenzo Cain and Eric Hosmer.
RELATED Chris Sale strikes out 10 as Boston Red Sox beat Kansas City Royals
"The last pitch was lower in, a little in the middle," Perez said. "And I hit it pretty good. I don't make adjustments. I see the ball and hit it. If it's close, I'm swinging."
Red Sox manager John Farrell decided to keep the left-handed Scott in to face the right-handed swinging Perez.
"His power numbers have come against right-handed pitching, by a 2- or 3-to-1 margin," Farrell said. "He's a .230 hitter against left-handers. It didn't happen today."
RELATED Jason Hammel, Whit Merrifield lead Kansas City Royals past Boston Red Sox
Scott walked the left-handed-hitting Hosmer on four pitches, none close to the strike zone, to set up Perez's blast.
"With the go-ahead run at the plate with the possibility of left-on-left to try to get a ground ball, there's four wide ones again," Farrell said. "It set the stage for the grand slam, unfortunately."
Said Scott, "I've got to do better."
RELATED Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia out of starting lineup vs. Royals
Kelvin Herrera pitched around a Jackie Bradley Jr. leadoff double in the ninth to collect his 17th save. Joakim Soria (3-2) worked a perfect eighth to pick up the victory.
Drew Pomeranz held the Royals to two runs over 6 1/3 innings, but the bullpen could not hold a 4-2 lead after he was pulled.
"We've been playing great," Pomeranz said. "You can't win them all. That's going to happen sometimes, especially against these guys. They're swingers. It's part of the game. The bullpen has been great all year. It's just one of those things. We'll forget about it and be back at it on Friday."
Ian Kennedy silenced the Red Sox without a hit in the first three innings, but there were two loud booms to start the fourth. Rookie Andrew Benintendi led off the inning with a 454-foot splash down into the center field fountains. It was his 100th career hit and his 10th home run this season.
Xander Bogaerts took a 3-1 Kennedy offering over the left-field fence to tie the score at 2.
"Those are frustrating pitches," Kennedy said.
The Royals scored a pair of runs on three outs. Eric Hosmer doubled to lead off the second and stopped at third on Perez's single. Hosmer scored when Mike Moustakas grounded into a double play.
Alcides Escobar led off the third with a double, advanced to third on Ramon Torres' groundout and scored on Whit Merrifield's flyout to Mookie Betts.
The Red Sox took advantage of two Kansas City errors in the fifth to score a pair of unearned runs on one single. Christian Vazquez started it with a single to left. Deven Marrero put down a sacrifice bunt, but Kennedy's throw sailed over the head of first baseman Cheslor Cuthbert.
Vasquez wound up scoring on Betts' sacrifice fly. Kennedy was removed after an intentional walk to Bogaerts. Mike Minor replaced Kennedy and attempted to pick Bogaerts off first, but Cuthbert whiffed on the throw, which hit first base coach Ruben Amaro Jr., allowing Marrero to score.
NOTES: Boston 2B Dustin Pedroia missed the entire series with soreness in his rib cage area after being struck by a pitch Sunday in Houston. The Red Sox are optimistic Pedroia will start Friday. ... Royals LHP Danny Duffy, who is on the disabled list with a strained oblique, will throw a bullpen session Friday and could begin a minor league rehab assignment next week. ... DH Hanley Ramirez, who is hitting .205 with five extra-base hits in his previous 22 games, was not in the Red Sox lineup. He flied out as a pinch hitter to end the game. ... The Royals and Red Sox are off Thursday. The Red Sox return home and will retire David Ortiz's No. 34 jersey before the game Friday against the Angels. The Royals will welcome the Blue Jays to Kauffman Stadium for a weekend series. Royals rookie RHP Jake Junis will start the opener.

Tupac's Long-Lost Song For MC Hammer Has Surfaced
February 24, 2016 - 2:32 pm by Tony M. Centeno TWITTER
The rumored song 2Pac recorded for MC Hammer recently made its way to Soundcloud.
Tupac Shakur's final months before his death were spent in the lab creating music he hoped would further his legacy in the music history. There reportedly was in a condition in his contract with Suge Knight that stated the West Coast legend would help with material with other Death Row artists.
READ: 2Pac's 'All Eyez On Me' Album Goes Diamond
Not only was the "All Eyez On Me" rapper making music for himself, he penned and produced songs for other artists -- like MC Hammer -- who signed to the label in 1995. The "Can't Touch This" rapper had began to work on an album called Too Tight, which was never released.
Although we've heard his unreleased song with 2Pac and Big Daddy Kane, we've never heard Pac's rendition of the title track of Hammer's unreleased album in full
We first received footage of their studio sessions in 2008, but the low quality footage that shows Pac in the studio had us wanting more for years. While behind the boards, Pac was a doing vocal production for a singer who is recording the hook with his reference track for Hammer playing in the background.
Eight years after the footage leaked, we finally get to hear the CDQ of "Too Tight."
What would have MC Hammer's album sounded like? Listen to the the title track below.
2Pac,
Death Row Records,
mc hammer,

Charlie is a man deeply wounded by a traumatic event. Long suppressed, his memories fester to the surface one day, sending him to the brink of his own destruction. Sadness is an emotion generally linked to stillness, but Urbania is anything but serene. Instead, anger and lust for revenge catalyze Charlie into action.
Jon shear has developed a highly original, complex style of cinematic storytelling. Charlie's quest unfolds as a riddle: nonlinear, demanding the viewer to feel Charlie's frustration. From the onset, you are launched on a journey, but to where? What is real and what is fantasized? Once engaged, you are compelled to see things through to the end. The stunning camera work and precise editing are essential to the success of this type of film. As Charlie Dan Futterman has a sardonic wit born of his smoldering, repressed rage. The tension building in his is palpable. Shear's ingenious device of concealing urban legends in secondary plot lines adds to the surreal nature of the film. It is as if they are there to remind us that some experiences in life are so unbelievable they must be real. Could not urban legends be born of some truth?
In our society, loss can take many forms. You can lose a street to violence, friends to untimely death, spirit to helplessness. Urbania seeks to affirm that sometimes the only path to resurrection is taking back that belongs to you.

Boozy Bard Productions' Richard III runs May 4, 5 and 6 at the Best Place Tavern on 901 W. Juneau Ave. Admission is cheap. Wear a crown to the show and you'll pay half as much as you would without one. For more information, visit Boozy Bard's Facebook page.

▪ What better-sounding sound than "and in conclusion" from a long-winded speaker who had nothing of consequence to say but said it anyway?
▪ The sounds of children at play at the nearby elementary school.
▪ And, as on my couch I lie, there comes from across the misty marshes of time, the unforgettable sound of "Hup! Hup! Hup!" from a despised drill sergeant in Keesler Field, Miss.
Finally, if we're fortunate, one of the sweetest sounds we can ever hear is "Good night, honey" from someone who loves us.
I don't know at what age newspaper subscribers become regular readers of the obituary page, but reader surveys have shown that the page has very high readership.
Have you noticed how many obits omit the word, "died," substituting "left this world," "went to her/his 'Heavenly rest," "joined Jesus," "left this earthly life," etc.?
Friend and community leader Bob Wynne recalls reading in an out-of-town newspaper a lengthy obituary that listed survivors, a long list of the deceased's accomplishments and the funeral arrangements.
Raleigh's David Rockefeller writes that while recently visiting in Kansas City, he worshiped at the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection, the largest UMC in the country.
At a grocery store checkout, the little boy pleaded with his mother for one of the candy bars on display at eye level. His mother ignored his tearful entreaties.
Another supermarket we patronize has a "No Candy" checkout lane just for moms with children in tow.
Kudos to supermarket managers who forego candy sales revenue in order to spare moms the pain of saying "No" to candy for their youngsters.

The Rise of Factory-built Housing: Episode 2
Modular builders have taken the art of prefabrication to an entirely new level, where entire rooms with insulation, plumbing, and electric wiring are made in a factory. These rooms (called "modules") are transported to a building site and then stacked next to and on top of one another to form a home in days. In the Hamptons, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other major cities, it's now possible to build a beautiful modern home modularly for as much as 50% the cost of building with local contractors.

OTP, Eximbank to launch HUF 25 bln private equity fund
Photo by Den Rise / Shutterstock.com
Eximbank and OTP Bank are set to launch Regional Private Equity Fund II, with HUF 25 billion of starting capital provided equally by the two companies, according to a press release by OTP Group member PortfoLion, the company which will manage the new fund.
At present, only the approval of the National Bank of Hungary (MNB) is required for the launch of the fund.
The value of investments is expected to be between EUR 3 and 15 million. Following the launch of the new fund, the capital managed by PortfoLion will almost approach HUF 100 billion, the press release notes.
"Following the steps of PortfoLion Regional Private Equity Fund I, we want to build regional from local and global from regional success stories with the second fund," said Jenő Nieder, deputy CEO of PortfoLion.
The company notes that Regional Private Equity Fund II intends to carry out 100% buy-outs similar to previous transactions and remains open to scale-up financing for companies that are predestined to dynamic international expansion, like Codecool.
The strong regional character is demonstrated by the fact that in addition to Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Slovenia, and Croatia are also target countries for the fund, the company says.
"In line with our previous practice, we not only support the companies in our portfolio financially but also provide active and strong professional support for growth," added Nieder.
The deputy CEO highlighted that the most important task for the coming months is to find the teams, leaders, owners with whom they can build the next success stories in the region.

Convict at center of the US Navy bribery ring now claims he secretly recorded naval officers with sex workers he paid for
Abbie Shull
The US Navy has been rocked by a bribery scandal that began in 7th Fleet.
MC3 Jose Madrigal/US Navy
In a new podcast, "Fat Leonard" says he secretly video-taped Navy officers with sex workers he paid for.
Leonard Glenn Francis pleaded guilty in 2015 to providing Navy personnel with over $500,000 in bribes, luxury travel, entertainment, and the service of sex workers.
The podcast marks the first time Francis has spoken publicly and outside of a courtroom about the scandal that rocked the US Navy.
Leonard Glenn Francis, the former Malaysian businessman at the heart of the bribery and corruption scandal that rocked the U.S. Navy, now claims he secretly videotaped Navy officers with sex workers he paid for.
"Fat Leonard," as he was known to military contacts across Southeast Asia, spoke publicly about the scandal for the first time in a new podcast of the same name. In the nine-part podcast, which aired its final episode last week, Francis offers new revelations on the scandal which led to the indictment of dozens of military officials.
In 2015, Francis pleaded guilty to providing members of the Navy with over $500,000 in bribes, luxury travel, entertainment and the service of sex workers but has yet to be sentenced. While doling out these bribes, Francis' company, Singapore-based Glenn Defense Marine Asia, or GDMA, was given port servicing contracts for the US Navy across Southeast Asia.
He is set to appear as a star witness for the prosecution in the criminal trial of six naval officers expected to begin in early 2022.
Last week, a federal judge in San Diego authorized the defense team in that trial to subpoena Audiation, the podcast's New York-based production company, for all the recordings from "Fat Leonard," according to a report from the San Diego Union Tribune.
For those who have closely followed the "Fat Leonard" scandal, the podcast largely repeats previously unearthed details about the case. But in one episode, Francis claims he kept secretly recorded videotapes of sex between Navy officers and sex workers he'd paid for.
"I'm not making porn," Francis said on the podcast. "It's always great to see people when they're drunk, what they're capable of doing."
Insider was unable to verify the existence or location of any tapes. If they were made, it's possible Francis could have used these tapes as additional leverage to get naval officers to do things that would further increase his firm's profits. Francis, for his part, claimed he never used them as blackmail because he already had these officers "in his pocket."
Francis told host Tom Wright, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, that the podcast was his chance to tell his life story.
Francis is out of federal prison and under house arrest in San Diego because he is suffering from kidney cancer, according to records of a deposition given by Francis in 2018 and obtained by the San Diego Union Tribune.
The podcast reveals that Francis is also living with his three children. The mother of two of those children told the podcast's host she hasn't been allowed to see them or know their whereabouts since 2013, despite court orders from two countries designating her as custodian.

Q: user_id is not taking the value provided The migrations file look like below
<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreatePostsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.

     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
            $table->string('title')->unique();
            $table->text('body');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**

     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('posts');
    }
}

but the posts table in the database is having 0 as value.
The database is populated through the web.php code below. I need the user_id to have values 1 and 2 in the database posts.
  Route::get('/create',function (){

    $post=Post::create(['title'=>'lara vel','body'=>'laravel is good for php','user_id'=>1]);
    $post=Post::create(['title'=>'spri ng','body'=>' spring is good for java','user_id'=>2]);

  });

A: It's very Simple
just Go to your Post model
when you use create method to insert data you must be use fillable propery in your model.
so if you not have an Post model so create post Model and paste this code inside your Post Model
<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'posts';
    protected $fillable = [
        'user_id', 'title','body'
    ];
}

Q: How to change the value of DateTime.UtcNow for a Process or Thread? Is there a way, even a very sneaky way, to change the time that a DateTime.UtcNow returns for a process or thread?
The SetSystemTime() win32 API call will change the time on the entire system. I've used this before but I would like a method that is less evil to other processes running on the system. Messing with the time is bad kungfoo on automated build servers.
C# seems to lack the language features required to override the default behavior.
Perhaps the method that .Net uses to obtain the current time could be proxied in some way?

A: You should wrap the current time in your own proxy class and use that instead, then you're free to return whatever you like.

A: The DateTime.UtcNow probably calls into Kernel32!GetSystemTimeAsFileTime() or something similar.  You could probably use the Detour library from Microsoft Research to hook this API, then in your hook function, detect the process and thread IDs which you'd like to dupe.
Good luck running the software!

A: Yeah, define interface IKnowCurrentTime with single property UtcNow. Use dependency injection to inject that into your classes. Make default implementation call DateTime.UtcNow and pass that to your classes in PROD. For testing purposes, make a mock of IKnowCurrentTime and have that return whatever. The way of the future baby.

Six business students participated in the 2013 International Collegiate Business Strategy
Competition this spring. From left to right: Zach Grah, Jordan Dahms, Cameron Holcomb,

By Steve Hansen and Chris Albert
Assistant Professor of Management Kory Brown has a plaque on his office wall commemorating his participation nearly 20 years ago in a business simulation competition. Pointing to it, he said with a smile: "I learned more from that competition than I learned in my MBA program."
To be sure, Brown's comment contains some amount of hyperbole. But the value he places on the International Collegiate Business Strategy Competition is clear: it was transformative. So much so, this spring will mark the third year Brown has brought PLU undergraduate business students back to the event – sponsored by Long Beach State University in California – in which he first participated as an MBA student.
For the competition, student teams create a simulated company, develop a product concept and business model for that company, and then run that company – top to bottom – for a simulated 20 consecutive quarters. Brown said virtually every aspect of business is evaluated and measured in the competition. The ICBSC provides students the opportunity to learn and compete with approximately 30 other universities through simulating the running of a company, as well as networking with business leaders and students from around the world.
"Students are stretched in ways no other academic setting can," Brown said. He calls simulations like these "the real world with a safety net."
The culmination of this year's competition will take place April 18-20. But much of the work will be done long prior to that. For about six months, PLU Business students will have been at work making decisions as a corporate executive team. Students selected to participate in the competition need to have basic business skills, but the real keys, according to Brown, are self-motivation, discipline and the ability to collaborate with teammates. All told, each student will spend 300-500 hours preparing for and participating in the competition.
This year, six students are participating in the event. They are Zach Grah, Arne-Morten Willumsen, Karrie Spencer, Jordan Dahms, Iren Atemad and Cameron Holcomb.
"This is just an outstanding opportunity for our students to experience business from the top," Brown said. "They are now going to walk out of PLU not only with their degree, but an understanding of all dimensions, not just the one they're trained in."
Iren Atemad, one of this year's participants, agrees. "One of the lessons learned in these early stages of the competition is that everything depends on everything else," she said. "This has made me understand the complexity of the business environment and how a team of executives truly manages a business."
Finance faculty member Kevin Boeh led the development of the new Master of Science in Finance program. He points to the considerable time both he and Brown spent in the business world. They both stress pragmatism. It informs the way they teach, and it underscores the value they place in putting students in situations that focus on real-world business and finance issues.
"As much as we can simulate reality, then our students will have an edge," Boeh said. "So the question is: What can we do to simulate reality?"
"One of the lessons learned in these
early stages of the competition is that everything depends on everything else. This has made me understand the complexity of the business environment and how a team of executives truly manages a business."
—Iren Atemad
There are two more student groups that will be participating in competitions this spring: The G.A.M.E (Global Asset Management Education) Forum, and the CFA Institute Research Challenge.
This past spring, Boeh and five members of the Student Investment Club traveled to New York City for the G.A.M.E Forum, founded and organized by PLU alumnus David Sauer '81, a professor at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn. Dr. Boeh will take another group this spring.
The G.A.M.E Forum, which will take place this year on April 4-6, brings more than 100 university groups to Wall Street, where students interact with industry leaders from hundreds of Wall Street firms – such as Abby Joseph Cohen of Goldman Sachs and Roger Ibbotson of Zebra Capital Management –and learn best practices in investment management.
Part of the event consists of the portfolio challenge, where each school's team presents in front of professional fund managers. Last spring, the members of PLU's Student Investment Club presented details of their $145,000 portfolio. The fund was established in 1982 by Mary Lund Davis, whose $25,000 donation has been focused on giving students the opportunity to gain experience in investment management through real-life investing. "We had to present why and how we picked our current stocks, and our underlying strategy. Also we presented our portfolio against benchmarks to showcase our historical performance," said Arne-Morten Willumsen '13, one of the 2012 G.A.M.E. participants. His group took third place in the undergraduate growth division, and he'll be returning with a new team this year.
Along with the presentation, the group was able to participate in discussions and workshops related to investing, account management, and different types of market trading.
The CFA Institute Research Challenge is a global competition in which groups of students worldwide select a small-to-midcap public company like Fischer Communications or Zillow, research it, and present their findings in a 10-page Initiation of Coverage Report.
This year at the regional competition in Seattle held on February 1 – among seven universities – the PLU's team of five students had 10 minutes to present their report to a panel of industry leaders, and then answer a 10-minute Q-and-A session. The PLU team, advised by visiting professor Olgun Sahin, placed second. The winner of the regional competition will move onto New York City. All told, more than 200 universities worldwide participate in the event.
For Boeh, the value of the CFA Institute Research Challenge is not simply that it presents opportunities for students to research real companies. The Challenge is also an opportunity for students to work with a financial analyst mentor who is currently practicing in the region. "It's a great networking opportunity for students," Boeh said, and he's seen internships come out of it.
"You cannot simulate this exposure in the classroom," Boeh said. "This experience allows the students to see in action what they learn in the classroom."

Every surgical item used during surgery (e.g. sponges) must be accounted for after surgery to ensure that none of these items is left inside the patient. Despite the numerous precautions in place, in approximately 1 in 1500 cases, something gets left behind inside the patient's body. This project presents ASSIST, an automated system for surgical instrument and sponge tracking that increases the safety of surgical procedures. ASSIST utilizes RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to aid in accounting for all items used during surgery. The design takes into account safety, simplicity, ease of deployment and ease of use. An initial evaluation utilizing RFID-tagged sponges demonstrates that ASSIST can reliably track surgical sponges with minimal impact to current operating room procedures. Sources of error that can impact the reliability of the system are also discussed. Sources of error were identified and the system was evaluated under realistic surgical conditions.
The article focuses on the result of a study conducted by the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill which reveals the effectiveness of the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to keep track of the surgical sponges from patients after operations.
The article discusses the procedures and technological innovations recommended by the U.S. Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) that can help reduce the risk of retained items in surgery, including the use of radio frequency identification (RFID)-enabled sponges.

Openings: Caesars Republic Scottsdale Hotel & Chef Giada DeLaurentiis
HCW, a real estate development company with offices in Arizona and Missouri, announced that it has broken ground on the first Caesars Republic non-gaming U.S. hotel. HCW, which has developed more than $2 billion in real estate in the last 23 years, has teamed up with Caesars Entertainment Corporation (NASDAQ: CZR) and Macerich (NYSE: MAC) to bring the 265-room Caesars Republic Scottsdale luxury brand hotel to Scottsdale, Arizona.
The hotel will be located at Scottsdale Fashion Square on the southeast corner of Goldwater Blvd. and Highland Ave. in the heart of the Scottsdale dining lifestyle district. Caesars Republic Scottsdale will be operated by HCW Hospitality and Aimbridge Hospitality of Plano, Texas. Caesars Entertainment will license its brand, serve as an advisor on design elements and integrate its Caesars Rewards loyalty network.
"We are thrilled to be breaking ground for the highly anticipated Caesars Republic Scottsdale," said Richard Huffman, Chief Executive Officer and President of HCW. "Upon its opening in Fall 2021, the hotel will offer a dynamic destination experience to both locals and visitors traveling from afar." He added, "Caesars Republic Scottsdale will be a new kind of lifestyle hotel experience."
It's the first Caesars in the nation designed exclusively as a non-gaming hotel. The hotel is a new lifestyle hotel experience designed to inspire the imagination and push creative boundaries while serving as a haven for local and traveling trendsetters alike.
"Our partnership with HCW to create a world-class hotel and dining experience in one of the nation's most desirable communities is very exciting," said Caesars Entertainment Chief Marketing Officer Chris Holdren.
Celebrity chef, author, philanthropist and TV personality Giada De Laurentiis will bring her extensive culinary background to Scottsdale with the opening of two new restaurants, Luna by Giada and Pronto by Giada, at Caesars Republic Scottsdale.
"I'm excited to bring my brand to Scottsdale with the opening of an all-new restaurant concept, Luna by Giada, as well as my fast-casual eatery, Pronto," said De Laurentiis. "I'm looking forward to combining my food and atmosphere with the unique flair of Scottsdale and the southwest. My restaurants are a reflection of me, my family and my home, and I can't wait to share that with guests and locals."
Luna by Giada will feature a sophisticated, high-energy environment with outdoor seating and scenic views of the iconic Camelback Mountain. Luna's menu will embrace De Laurentiis' Roman heritage and her passion for Italian cooking with California and Mediterranean influences. Utilizing fresh, local ingredients, the restaurant will create a new take on traditional Italian cuisine, while staying true to classic favorites. Pronto by Giada will offer her signature Italian fare and a unique blend of coffee offerings in a casual café format. The cuisine will feature the same fresh ingredients and be prepared in an abbreviated time for guests on the go.
Caesars Republic Scottsdale's contemporary 11-story glass structure will pay homage to Las Vegas, incorporating thoughtful materials and modern elements such as stone and faux wood accents to complement the adjacent luxury residential developments and the newly constructed luxury entrance to Scottsdale Fashion Square.
"Scottsdale Fashion Square and the new Caesars Republic Scottsdale are a natural fit," said Ed Coppola, President, Macerich. "The addition of this exciting new hotel is part of the next phase of development for our high-end mixed-use property, which will also include Class A offices and upscale residences to bring even more energy to Scottsdale."
Scottsdale Fashion Square, owned and operated by Macerich, recently underwent a redevelopment and retail remix with its new luxury wing, technology wing and a new collection of renowned food and beverage concepts. The luxury wing is anchored by Neiman Marcus, features a flagship Apple store, and more than 200 shopping and dining options including Saint Laurent and Nobu.
The hotel will also have an elevated pool lounge and dining concept, Seven (SVN), on its seventh floor offering amazing views of the surrounding mountains and Arizona sunsets. SVN will serve a light poolside food menu with craft cocktails and nightlife experience open to the public. SVN, operated by the Riot Hospitality Group of Scottsdale, will also offer bookings for private events.

It's great to see another post on No Bad Language!
This material was an interesting read for me. I'm always happy to learn something new about the "social media and sharing" world and your blog posts are so thorough and informative that I (almost) feel like an expert after I've read them! So thanks for that.
I'm not a user of location based apps, or of any apps at all, and that's because—believe it or not—I don't have a smart phone. Also, here in our very small town with only a handful (and I mean that literally) of restaurants, stores and businesses, I doubt that earning points or mayorships would count for too much! In a large city like LA I can see how this could be fun.
I am kind of a privacy freak though, so I think that even in a large city I would use your advice about how to be cautious with apps like foursquare.
Thanks for your comment. It's nice to be back!
I completely understand your reticence to sharing location details with others. It's a bit disconcerting, and I hope I've shared enough information to, perhaps, make folks cautious about when and where they use such apps.
It's funny, I used Foursquare when I was back in New England a couple of months ago, and found that even in a one-street town in the north woods of Connecticut, there were places I could check in and even become mayor with a couple of visits! So, you never know – maybe one day, you'll be the first check-in in your hometown – and a mayor to boot!

BACH's Mission Statement
The mission of the Bay Area Coalition for Headwaters (BACH) is to educate and build support in the Bay Area and other urban areas for the preservation of a biologically viable redwood forest. BACH connects local environmentalists with forest activists to preserve the old growth redwood ecosystems, with real solutions for forest workers and communities.
As the rapid destruction of the redwood forest in Humboldt County accelerated after the Maxxam takeover of Pacific Lumber in 1985, it became apparent that greater outreach was needed for forest defense. In 1993, the Bay Area Coalition for Headwaters (BACH) was formed to educate, activate, and mobilize people in the San Francisco Bay Area. BACH was established as a volunteer-driven grassroots project under the sponsorship of the Ecology Center in Berkeley.
BACH works in collaboration with grassroots activists and organizations in Northern California who use diverse tactics and strategies to advocate for ecologically sound solutions for the forest ecosystems of California's north coast.
To fulfill our goals of public education, advocacy and action, BACH's work includes:
Media outreach campaigns and activist media trainings
Activist meetings with films and speakers
Email action alerts
Presentations at events and schools
Informational tabling in the community
Mobilization for local and regional rallies and participation in public agency process
Maintenance of informational files and a video loan library on issues of forest preservation campaigns
Since its formation as an adhoc unfunded group, the Bay Area Coalition for Headwaters grew to play a pivotal role in the protracted struggle to save the last vestiges of the verdant coastal redwood forest—which once stretched unbroken from Big Sur to the Oregon border—from desecration by industrial logging practices. BACH's grassroots organizing focuses on public education and activation, media and outreach campaigns, and creating links between the urban population and the forests.
The Bay Area Coalition for Headwaters has kept its sights set on the Headwaters Forest area, as other organization have come and gone from the campaign landscape. As the lead advocacy organization working with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the long planning process for the portion of Headwaters Forest that achieved protection via the 1999 Headwaters Deal, BACH has been a key player in the process to secure a biologically sound Management Plan for the Headwaters Forest Reserve, now public land overseen by the BLM and state Dept. of Fish and Game.
Though BACH opposed the environmentally disastrous parts of the Headwaters Deal, the transfer of the largest grove of ancient redwoods on the corporate chopping block to public hands, and development of an ecologically sound management plan is a direct result of BACH's advocacy.
BACH's principal project areas are:
Forest Monitoring and Public Education
Information Dissemination for Action
Activist Training and Grassroots Advocacy

Donald Trump on Saturday led a mass rally in taking a pledge affirming their commitment to voting for him
Trump once again opened the door to ordering the torture of captured suspected terrorists, just one day after vowing that he would not order military officials to violate international laws
Washington CNN —
Donald Trump on Saturday led a mass rally in taking a pledge affirming their commitment to voting for him, and vowed to broaden existing laws regarding the interrogation of captured terrorist suspects.
The scene unfolded during a raucous rally at a University of Central Florida arena in Orlando, Florida, that featured frequent interruptions by protesters over Trump's hour-long address.
"Let's do a pledge. Who likes me in this room?" Trump asked the crowd. "I've never done this before. Can I have a pledge? A swearing? Raise your right hand."
The Republican front-runner then had the audience repeat after him.
"I do solemnly swear that I, no matter how I feel, no matter what the conditions, if there are hurricanes or whatever, will vote on or before the 12th for Donald J. Trump for President."
The crowd ended the pledge with cheers.
"Now I know. Don't forget you all raised your hands. You swore. Bad things happen if you don't live up to what you just did," Trump said before continuing with his speech.

Just before leading the rally in the pledge, Trump once again opened the door to ordering the torture of captured suspected terrorists, just one day after vowing that he would not order military officials to violate U.S. or international laws.
"We're going to stay within the laws. But you know what we're going to do? We're going to have those laws broadened because we're playing with two sets of rules: their rules and our rules," Trump said pointing to ISIS's tactics, which have included torture and brutal executions.
The comments mark a stark contrast to a statement Trump issued just a day earlier. After vigorously defending the use of waterboarding and suggesting that the U.S. should "go a lot further than waterboarding," Trump vowed Friday in a statement that he would "not order our military or other officials to violate those laws."
Trump's conflicting statements on torture come after Trump took heat from former national security officials like former CIA Director Michael Hayden, who argued that U.S. military officials would not follow any illegal orders issued by Trump as president.
"We have to obey the laws, but do you think ISIS is obeying the laws?" Trump asked his supporters on Saturday.
The fervor at Trump's rally also came from protesters, who interrupted Trump's speech more than a dozen times. At one point, the protests became so frequent that Trump asked them to stop so he could hit key points in his stump speech.
"Can the protesters stop for a couple of seconds so we can talk?" Trump asked.
The most notable incident occurred when two young men sitting behind the stage shouted at Trump before a supporter grappled with one of them. An attendee wearing a white Trump shirt grabbed one of the protesters by the neck, attempting to force him out of the venue.
The altercation happened with Trump standing nearby, and at one point he left his podium to approach the protesters. It's unclear if Trump said anything to the men, who were vigorously shouting at the GOP front-runner as attendees around them attempted to wrangle them.
After the protesters were ejected, Trump remarked on "the hatred, the animosity" and the division in America today, seemingly laying the blame at the feet of President Barack Obama.
"You know, we have a divided country, folks. We have a terrible president who happens to be African-American. There has never been a greater division than just about what we have right now. The hatred, the animosity. I will bring people together. You watch," Trump said.

The grave of Adeline Sims, wife of range light Keeper William Si ms, is located to the side of the keeper's path (at the Range Light Park) in a small, fenced-in area. Legend has it that while her husband and fellow Masons held meetings in the rear range light, she overheard and memorized secret passages. To seal her lips, she was made a member. Adeline Sims died an invalid in 1881, and was buried with a Masonic emblem on her gravestone. Sims is the only woman so honored by the Masons.
Burnham's Landing
Frederick Burnham settled in Michigan in the 1840's. Beginning in the 1850's, the Burnhams acquired large tracts of Presque Isle County's rich timberlands. In the mid-to-late nineteenth century Burnham developed a prosperous mercantile and lumber business here. He transported wood to the boat landing, which stood near this site. The harbor, known as Burnham's Landing, provided shelter to ships during foul weather. When Burnham died in 1880, Julia and their son Frederick II assumed management of the family's business. The Burnham home, store and lumber camps were destroyed by the 1908 Metz fire.
Fireside Inn
The inn was constructed in 1908. It is the only resort on Grand Lake that has been continuously operated since its inception.
KAUFFMAN HOMESTEAD
John C. Kauffman migrated to America from Tuttlingen, Germany in 1851. Kauffman started as a lumberjack and built a house in 1862. Later that year he had to move his house because of the drifting snow. Kauffman was the Township Supervisor and Postmaster of Presque Isle until his death in 1913. Kauffman also served in the Civil War.
The homestead is currently open as a museum/gift shop during the summer months. It is located on E. Grand Lake Rd. in front of the Grand Lake Chapel, just up from the Birch Hill Store.
New Presque Isle Light
This lighthouse, built in 1870 by Orlando M. Poe, is one of three Great Lakes towers built from the same plans. The conical brick tower rises 113 feet from a limestone foundation. The Third Order Fresnel lens was made by Henre LePaute of Paris. Patrick Garrity, the keeper of the harbor light, lit the lamp for the first time at the opening of the 1871 navigation season. Garrity served here until 1885 when he became keeper of the Harbor Range Lights. His wife, Mary, sons Thomas, Patrick, and John, and daughter Anna all served as light keepers in this area. In 1890 a steam operated fog signal manufactured by Variety Iron Works of Cleveland, Ohio, was installed. The light was automated in 1970 by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Old Presque Isle Light
Presque Isle harbor became such an important maritime interest that a state representative named Isaac Crary asked Congress for funds to build a lighthouse there. Congress recognized the need and appropriated five thousand dollars for the lighthouse to be built.
Construction was begun in 1839; when finished, the tower stood thirty feet high and had an eighteen-foot base with four-foot thick walls. A spiral stairway wound to the top that housed the lantern and lenses. A lighthouse keeper named Henry L. Woolsey was the first person to man the lighthouse, which was first fired up on September 23, 1840. (list of all lighthouse keepers)
The light had served the sailors of Lake Huron for over twenty years when it was determined that the keeper's house was in such disrepair that it would have to be torn down and rebuilt. The money was allocated but was never spent-at least not to improve the residence. In 1868 it was determined that the lighthouse's placement could be better, so a much larger light was proposed by the Lighthouse Board. Construction started about a mile to the north, and the Presque Isle Lighthouse – or Old Presque Isle Lighthouse, as it came to be known – was abandoned. The lens and lantern were removed, and the beacon sat empty for almost twenty-six years.
The lighthouse was finally put up for auction, and the first in a long chain of owners took it over. Some were entrepreneurs, hoping to make a buck on the place; others just wanted use of the land; and still others had an eye for preserving the history of the Old Presque Isle Lighthouse for future generations. The Stebbins family would hold the property for some time, starting with Bliss Stebbins who bought it for seventy dollars at the turn of the twentieth century in a tax sale. He never developed the land as he'd hoped, so he sold it to his brother Francis in 1930.
Francis B. Stebbins was the first person to see the historical potential of the lighthouse, and he began to give tours to anyone interested in seeing the place. He also repaired the light so that it would shine once again, which it did until the Coast Guard made him extinguish it so as to not confuse ships coming into the harbor. Just to make sure that he didn't get the urge to crank it up again, they removed the machinery that rotated the light and lens.
From Francis, the property passed to his son Jim Stebbins, who took his father's vision for the lighthouse even further – he began to assemble a full-blown maritime museum in the keeper's house, and officially opened it up for tours. He even had an idea for a "step back in time" tour, and hired college girls from the area to be the docents. They dressed in costumes from the 1800s, and were so beautiful that the main customer demographic time with them, so in 1977 Jim abandoned that idea and hired a retired couple to take over the place: George and Loraine Parris.
George and Loraine became the official keepers of the property, even though they didn't actually own it. While Loraine worked in the museum, George gave tours of the lighthouse. He enjoyed playing pranks on the visitors and showing them a good time – his favorite trick for quite some time was the "Foghorn Test of Strength." He would ask for volunteers who thought that they could stand in front of the mighty horn as he set it off. No matter how rigid a stance the person took, George would blow the horn and the vibration would knock them clean off their feet. George loved the people who visited the Old Presque Isle Lighthouse, and the people loved him. Many came back season after season just to see what tricks and tales George had cooked up lately. On January 2, 1992, a single day after celebrating the New Year, the most beloved man in Presque Isle, Michigan, died of a heart attack. A chapter in the lighthouse's history had been closed – but perhaps a new one had begun.
As Loraine was driving to the property on Grand Lake Road, which had a clear view of the lighthouse, she saw that it was illuminated.
She knew that the Coast Guard had rendered this impossible, but there it was before her. By the time that she arrived at the keeper's house, though, everything was dark. The next day she climbed the steps of the lighthouse to make sure that everything was in order, and she saw that there was no way that someone could have turned the light on. Yet, this same pattern repeated itself again and again. Loraine never said anything about it because she thought that people might think her crazy.
Soon other folks began to see the light, however – a yellowish glow was reported from the lighthouse by several people. Some thought that the light had been put back into operation, but others drove out for a closer look, only to find that it was dark once again.
It was even spotted by members of the Air National Guard, who flew a few missions over the area, and by the Coast Guard, who investigated to make sure that no one could fire the light back up. It had been permanently disabled years before, so there was no way that the light could be shining. Yet it was. Many people believe that the spirit of playful old George is occasionally paying a visit to the lighthouse that he loved so much, just to let folks know that he's doing just fine and to keep alive the stories of the lighthouse that he loved so much.
Presque Isle Lodge
Newell A. Eddy (Jr.) built Presque Isle Lodge in 1920. At the time of the Lodge's construction, it became the fourth large resort/hotel in the area, following The Birch Hill Hotel built in the late 1890s and opened in 1901 (subsequently torn down in the 1960s), the Fireside Inn in 1908, the Grand Lake Hotel built in 1912 (subsequently split up, scaled back, and reverted to a private residence) and the Colony Bar of the same general era, which burned down. The Presque Isle Lodge was closed from 1978 to 1989 when it re-opened as a Bed & Breakfast Inn.
The New Presque Isle Light Tower alerted the mariners to impending dangers while the two smaller Range Lights guided them safely into harbor. When the lights were aligned, the mariner knew the safest and easiest path into-or out of-the harbor.

Radio Moscow, New Beginnings: Burn the Ground, Torch the Cosmos
Posted in Reviews on October 6th, 2017 by JJ Koczan
If you don't already know Radio Moscow are one of the best and most vital bands currently boogieing their way around the planet, you've probably never seen them live. It's cool — sometimes it's hard to get out and there will hopefully be many more opportunities for you to do so, but the truth of the matter is that when it comes to on-stage energy, presence and delivery of classic heavy rock, frenetically cast into a one-of-a-kind bluesy shuffle, there's no one who does it better than the San Diego-based three-piece of founding guitarist/vocalist Parker Griggs, bassist Anthony Meier (also Sacri Monti) and drummer Paul Marrone (also Psicomagia, Birth). They've had a tumultuous history to bring them to where they are, casting a wide influence second perhaps only to Earthless over the West Coast heavy boom of recent years, but as Griggs debuted the lineup with Meier and Marrone on 2014's Magical Dirt (review here), it was clearly the start of a new era for Radio Moscow as a whole.
Their fifth album overall and first following a label change from Alive Records to Century Media — significant as the former had issued everything they'd done up to this point, from their 2007 self-titled debut through 2016's Live! in California 2LP — New Beginnings continues their forward push into max-impact rock and blues with 10 new tracks and just under 40 minutes of genuine, bona fide scorch the likes of which, again, most other bands simply would not be able to conjure. Griggs' history of helming Radio Moscow recordings goes back to the early demos that were released in 2012 as 3 & 3 Quarters, and he once more steps into the producer role on New Beginnings, seemingly with a mission to bring an added sense of color to cuts like the instrumental "Woodrose Morning" or the later harmonica-and-tom-thudding swirl-and-stomper "Last to Know," which highlights the blend of Echoplex-laden heavy psych and earthy blues on display throughout, operating, as ever, in top form.
A fast hi-hat count-in from Marrone sets the pace for the charge of opening semi-title-track "New Beginning," which at just over four minutes is actually one of the longer cuts on the album that mostly shares its name. The sense of setting a vibe is quick as Meier's always-classy basslines and Griggs' furious guitar work unleash their barrage atop Marrone's jazzy snare rolls and impossible-sounding tom hits, some tambourine backing the first verse lines as guttural lines are meted out with the band's trademark blue-eyed soul. It's constant motion, and that's no less a hallmark of Radio Moscow's approach than the hook that follows, the madcap pacing, reverb-soaked vocals or the head-spinning result of all these elements combined. Radio Moscow being Radio Moscow, in other words. "New Beginning" jams into the swirling start-stop boogie of "Deceiver," which once again finds Griggs' voice drenched in effects atop his Hendrix-style guitar, but pulls back on the tempo to give more of a cyclical feel to its verse lines, punctuated by Marrone's drumming.
In its last minute, "Deceiver" builds from its comfortable fluidity into an all-out surge of groove, cutting to silence ahead of the relatively serene, atmospheric start of "Woodrose Morning," the lysergic feel of which is hinted at in the title, and the effect of which is hypnotic enough that almost before one realizes it, the wash has given way to the subsequent "Driftin'," which with its flourish of harmonica and bluesy shove reorients the listener back on solid ground despite a guitar solo that seems to maintain some of the echo from "Woodrose Morning" between its verses, a quick turn efficiently done in under three minutes to give way to the key-inclusive presumed side A finale, "No One Knows Where They've Been," which rounds out the formidable momentum built up across New Beginnings thus far with a fervent shuffle, peppered-in string-tearing leads and a swaggering hook that anchors the first half while the second pushes outward into a jam, sounding like it's about to fly off the rails which of course it never actually does. As if to remind that they're songwriters after all, they move back into the chorus and cap "No One Knows Where They've Been" with fading Echoplex noise.
If this first half of New Beginnings is about building up that momentum, that forward push, with the trippy excursion of "Woodrose Morning" tucked neatly in the middle as the centerpiece of the initial five cuts, then side B would seem to be where Radio Moscow take that momentum and move it into even more expansive terrain. "Last to Know" leads off the back end of the tracklisting with toms at the outset, as swirl of guitar effects and harmonica, and briskly moves into its verse progression, with Griggs holding out the ends of his lines with the reverb that has by now become familiar. Like "Pacing" still to come, "Last to Know" offers one of New Beginnings' primo hooks, but in the molten guitar effects, added percussion and holding-it-all-together bass of the jam in its second half, it seems to border up to Afrobeat before its fadeout and so signals the wider berth of some of what follows nonetheless.
One might think of the instrumental "New Skin" as a relatively straightforward answer to "Woodrose Morning," but the song ultimately proves Radio Moscow don't necessarily need to go full-wash to draw the listener into a trance — the rhythm section leads the way and one can only delight in following the route toward "Pacing," which follows the verse/chorus pattern of "Last to Know," but pulls back from the jammy sensibility of the side B launcher — at least a bit — its bridge shorter and moving back to the hook after giving Griggs proper space to unleash yet another blinding solo. This also sets up the penultimate "Pick up the Pieces," which serves as one of the most distinct departures New Beginnings makes as it digs into more laid back, airy blues. Gradually, tension builds in bass and drums behind Griggs' guitar and vocals, and before its 3:21 are up, the song explodes in about its last 40 seconds, but by then the mood is set, and a few final quiet notes underscore the point before giving ground to closer "Dreams," also the longest inclusion at 5:57.
Have I mentioned "scorch" yet? Yes? Well, "Dreams" has plenty, just in case Radio Moscow haven't burnt their own music to enough of a crisp yet. The tempo starts out smooth enough, but before long, the power trio put emphasis on the power and charge through verses into a tense build from which the guitar takes flight propelled by the bass and drums moving past the halfway point, disintegrating into Echoplex effects and finding itself in a wash of swelling volume — might be e-bow? — but feeling off-the-cuff and organically jammed out all the same. This psychedelic triumph spins in circles as the band hits five minutes and resolves itself in a peeling-the-paint-off-the-walls-distortion apex that does not so much cross a finish line as obliterate it. Righteously.
Clearly, the set is over. Radio Moscow have gone as far out as they're going to go and after turning back multiple times along the way throughout "Deceiver" or "No One Knows Where They've Been," they've finally decided to stay all the way gone. As a fan of the band, I can't say I blame them. I don't ultimately know if New Beginnings will go down as the record that fully captures the vigor of what they bring to their live show, but its emphasis on the chemistry between Griggs, Meier and Marrone is unmistakable, and the songs that comprise it make a compelling argument for Radio Moscow's work in the studio being no less essential to their impact than what they do onstage. In either context, they are not to be missed.

Radio Moscow Post Video for "Pacing"; New Beginnings out Sept. 29
Posted in Bootleg Theater on September 14th, 2017 by JJ Koczan
Frankly, if the aim is to promote a new Radio Moscow release — and it is; New Beginnings hits Sept. 29 as their first full-length for Century Media — I'd be hard pressed to think of a better way to do that than evoking the San Diego power trio's live incarnation, which I very likely don't need to tell you at this point is utterly unfuckwithable. Dudes just plug in and kill. So yeah, you got a new video for "Pacing" from the new album you need to make? Might as well film it live. That kind of tells the whole story right there. The footage is tripped out a bit for good measure, with the psychedelic wash and colors and whatnot, but they're in there, doing what they do.
I've got a review slated for later this month of New Beginnings, so I'm not really going to dig into the album here, but suffice it to say that after 2014's Magical Dirt (review here), they had their work cut out for them in my mind and with guitarist/vocalist Parker Griggs stepping (back) into the producer role and the new label behind them, it's been all the more an intriguing prospect to see where Griggs, bassist Anthony Meier and drummer Paul Marrone go this time around. To put it simply, they go to Boogie Town. Where the people like to boogie down. They'll be waiting for you by the merry-go-round.
And I suppose by that I mean — or do I? — that they're about to hit the road on a massive European tour. I've already noted in posting these dates that the band will appear at Keep it Low 2017 (info here), Desertfest Athens 2017 (info here), Up in Smoke 2017 (info here) and Desertfest Belgium 2017 (info here) as they herald the arrival of New Beginnings in the company of Finland's Kaleidobolt, and it looks like they've added even more to that routing since the last time I saw the list. The more the merrier. Go round.
Enjoy "Pacing" below, followed by more info from the PR wire:

Radio Moscow Stream New Beginnings Title-Track; Announce More US and UK Touring
Posted in Whathaveyou on July 18th, 2017 by JJ Koczan
Keep your eye on late September. I have the feeling there's going to be a lot going on and not the least of it will be the release of Radio Moscow's first album for Century Media, the suitably-titled New Beginnings. The blazing San Diego three-piece of guitarist/vocalist Parker Griggs, bassist Anthony Meier and drummer Paul Marrone — who are nigh on supergroup status, what with Meier's double-duty in Sacri Monti and Marrone's participation in Psicomagia, newcomers Birth (demo posted here), etc. — have posted a studio session clip of the opening title-track "New Beginning" from the record.
However, because the internet sucks, that can't be embedded. It finds them nonetheless in top form and is linked below for your at-the-source viewing enjoyment. And because I'm stubborn, I found a different live clip of album-closer "Dreams" from Texas earlier this year and that's at the bottom of this post.
In addition, the cover art and tracklisting for New Beginnings is unveiled today and more tour dates in the UK and US have been added. As ever, it's a go-go-go kind of deal for these guys. That's how they do, and they do it better than just about everybody on the planet.
The PR wire has it like this:

Radio Moscow Announce New Beginnings Due Sept. 9; Euro Tour Sept./Oct.
Posted in Whathaveyou on June 22nd, 2017 by JJ Koczan
I'll say this as clearly as I possibly can: If you're not looking forward to the new Radio Moscow, you're fucking up. The San Diego bringers-of-heavy-rock-tornadoes will release their fifth album, New Beginnings, on Sept. 9 as their debut for Century Media, just as they wrap a small string of West Coast dates and shortly before they begin a European headlining trek set to feature Kaleidobolt as direct support. The three-piece of Parker Griggs, Anthony Meier and Paul Marrone were recently confirmed for Keep it Low 2017 (info here), Desertfest Athens 2017 (info here), Up in Smoke 2017 (info here) and Desertfest Belgium 2017 (info here), so we knew they'd be in Europe for the Fall, but there's something to be said for seeing how it all ties together as well. And when it comes to these dudes, the more shows the merrier.
Radio Moscow had a live album out last year that I could've cried when I didn't get sent a download to review — really, my feelings were hurt — and their last studio outing was 2014's ultra-driving Magical Dirt (review here). Get it if you don't have it. Get the new one too. Shit, just buy everything Radio Moscow have ever done. You'll thank yourself for doing so later.
From the PR wire:
RADIO MOSCOW Announce New Album, "New Beginnings", Scheduled For Release September 9, 2017 via Century Media Records
Reveal Headlining European Tour in September/October 2017 Featuring Special Guests Kaleidobolt
Southern Californian rock trio RADIO MOSCOW are currently putting finishing touches on their much-anticipated fifth studio album, "New Beginnings", which is set for release via Century Media Records on September 29, 2017.
Formed in 2003, the power trio led by Stratocaster genius Parker Griggs carved their own sonic niche fusing crunching, heavy Sabbath-style chords with fiery 'Hendrixian' solos and a raw intensity that is addictive and captivating. From the self-titled debut back in 2007, which was produced by Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, over to last year's "Live! In California", RADIO MOSCOW proved to be not just a cheap time machine but a direct descendant from the golden age of rock 'n' roll!
Known as a tremendous live act, Parker Griggs (vocals, guitar), Anthony Meier (bass) and Paul Marrone (drums) have hit the road hard in the U.S. and in Europe in past years, touring with the likes of Graveyard, Witchcraft, Joe Bonamassa and Pentagram as well as playing festivals such as Desert Daze (US), the Void Fest (Ger), Electric Funeral (US), Burg Herzberg Fest (Ger), and the Orbital Festival in Santiago, Chile, to name but a few.
Now, RADIO MOSCOW are gearing up for an exciting new chapter in their career with the release of "New Beginnings" and have kicked off another massive touring cycle with a US mini-tour, selected European festivals in August, and a full European tour in September/October. Even more chances to see the band live are currently in the works!

Israel's Education Ministry Says It Got More Reports of Teacher Misconduct at Elite High School for Arts
The reports were received after a former art teacher at the school, the artist Boaz Arad, was found dead following reports of alleged sexual relations with students

The Education Ministry said it received reports on Sunday of inappropriate conduct on the part of three teachers currently on the faculty of the Thelma Yellin School for the Arts in Givatayim. The reports were received after a former art teacher at the school, the artist Boaz Arad, was found dead in the yard of his home on Friday after committing suicide.
A day earlier, the Mako website reported that Arad was being investigated for allegedly having sexual relations with female students at the school, where he taught from 1983 to 2006. The Mako report included Arad's denial that he had sexual relations with students while they were still in high school, saying his relationships began after they graduated.
Claims: Kiss on cheek, harassment, encouragement of anorexia
In the first of the allegations received by the Education Ministry, it was reported that a female student saw a male teacher kiss a female student on the cheek. A male graduate alleged that a male teacher had sexually harassed him and, in the third case, it was alleged that a teacher at the school had encouraged anorexia. The school's principal, Moshe Philosoph, received the reports and turned them over to the ministry. Philosoph did not give a response to Haaretz on the matter.
Education Minister Naftali Bennett ordered that the ministry investigate media reports about sexual misconduct at the school. On Monday a team of investigators came to the school to assess the situation and gather testimony.

"The team held a discussion and examined all of the aspects related to the management of the school and the accounts in the media," the ministry said in a statement. At the meeting with administrators, the ministry said it would help the school maintain academic routine with professional support for students and their parents and develop a long-term plan addressing the maintenance of proper "limits between teachers and students at the school."
In recent weeks, in addition to the Mako report about Boaz Arad, other allegations about sexual misconduct at the school surfaced. A report by Haaretz in Hebrew cited allegations from media personality Assaf Harel that included an account of sexual propositions he said he received as a high school student from Menachem Nebenhaus, the conductor at the time of the Thelma Yellin school orchestra, at a private lesson at Nebenhaus' studio. After speaking to school friends, Harel alleged that he learned from a number of schoolmates that Nebenhaus had made sexual propositions to them as well, that he had touched them and in one case allegedly had sexual relations with one under-age student for a fee. Nebenhaus declined to comment.
