Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo motivated by Phoenix Suns' defense designed to slow him down
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has been playing at an MVP level this season, and the Phoenix Suns have a plan to stop him.
ESPN's Tim Bontemps
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to continue his dominance in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night, as he and his teammates want to even the series with the Phoenix Suns.
Phoenix, like every other team facing Antetokounmpo, will try to hold the two-time NBA MVP at bay by walling off the rim, something the Suns have failed miserably to accomplish through three games (Game 4, 9 p.m. ET Wednesday, ABC).
Just a few short years after entering the NBA as a gangly adolescent with an unknown ceiling to his talent, Antetokounmpo marveled on Tuesday that teams are already designing defenses expressly intended to limit him.
After Tuesday's practice, Antetokounmpo remarked, "The first time I saw the wall was maybe two years ago." "However, I've always been capable of passing before that." It's something I've always enjoyed doing. Throughout my career, I had coaches and individuals that assisted me in locating the right person, making the correct pass, and making the right play. But it's all about faith now that I've begun seeing the wall, nearly two years ago. And it's difficult because you want to be efficient, go downhill, and do everything.
"You also take it personally. A squad is attempting to stop you by erecting a three-person barricade with two men behind it. Now it's up to you to not take it personally and make the best decision possible, such as finding the perfect man. Since two years ago, I feel like I've become better at it… But, prior to the construction of the wall, I was always a good passer. It's amusing that there's a defense known as the Giannis Wall. It's kind of amusing to me, you know?"
The Suns, who have seen Antetokounmpo tear past their defenders and go to the rim time and time again, aren't laughing. He is one of just four players in NBA Finals history to score at least 100 points in each of his first three games, including Hall of Famers Rick Barry, Allen Iverson, and Shaquille O'Neal. In each of the last two games, Antetokounmpo has scored at least 40 points and grabbed at least 10 rebounds.
Phoenix has tried everything from center DeAndre Ayton to forwards Jae Crowder, Mikal Bridges, and Cam Johnson, but Antetokounmpo's offensive skill has remained mostly unchanged. Following Milwaukee's physical takedown of the Suns in Game 3, it's reasonable to expect Phoenix to attempt to take the initiative in Game 4 to make Antetokounmpo's life more difficult.
Suns coach Monty Williams said Tuesday, "They took it to us." "There isn't any other way to look at it." They used a lot of power in their play, going for 50/50 balls and assaulting the paint. We had a few bursts of playing the way we normally do, but we weren't as consistent as we needed to be. I believe I stated something similar the other day. We had a terrible transition defensive lapse from the first possession of the game, and they got a corner three in transition.
"They deserved credit for it. They were physically active and played with a lot of enthusiasm. We were tough, but they were tough from the start. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I could sit here and make excuses for what we didn't accomplish and all of that, but they were playing at a high level."
Antetokounmpo, in particular, was relentless in his attacks. In Game 3, he drew 17 foul shots on his own, compared to 16 for the Suns as a team, as Williams pointed out after the game on Sunday.
"Someone asked me the question, so I addressed it," Williams said of his point on Tuesday. "And then there's the free throw discrepancy." That's exactly what I did. One of their players had a total of 17 free throws. There were 16 of us.
"That isn't a complaint. That is a factual statement."
When questioned about the difference between the teams — and his role in it — Antetokounmpo claimed he was unaware of the debate, claiming he doesn't pay attention to social media.
He did, however, bring his own facts regarding whether or not he is deserving of those visits to the free throw line.
"I believe I get a nice thrashing down there." "They're making my beautiful face ugly," Antetokounmpo remarked with a grin, pointing to his forehead and nose, before laughing and adding, "So they're making my pretty face ugly."
"However, it is what it is. I just try to concentrate on what I need to accomplish and how I can assist my team in becoming successful. That's where I'm going to focus my efforts."
Part of it will include continuing to go over, around, and through the barriers erected by the Suns to stop him. Antetokounmpo has been chastised in the past for his proclivity for attempting too many shots instead of attacking the basket, as well as his free throw shooting woes.
But, he added, all he can do now is adhere to the mantras he repeats at news conferences: compete as hard as he can while still enjoying the experience as much as possible, and let the chips fall where they may.
"You have to take that as a complement," Antetokounmpo said of defensive strategies aimed at slowing him down. "You have to find the amusement in everything." In that, '1, 2, 3, 4' [when opposition supporters count how long it takes him to shoot a free throw], whatever.
"You must constantly look for the amusement element. So, yes, the fact that there are three people in front of me preventing me from getting in the paint and constructing that wall is a praise."
The only ones who despise it more are those who hope it will succeed.
"No matter how he does it, he does it." "Do you get what I'm saying?" Chris Paul said the following. "He comes down there and dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunks, dunk So there you have it. I believe you must find a method to stop him. We'll have to think of a method to slow him down. Slowing him down or not is a question of [winning] the game for us.
"The game must be won. It doesn't matter to me how the stat sheet looks after the game. The game must be won. Because he's a two-time MVP, we have to deal with him as such."
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is motivated by the Phoenix Suns' defense designed to slow him down. Reference: mlb doubleheaders.

Global Intelligence Oversight
Governing Security in the Twenty-First Century
Edited by Zachary K. Goldman, Samuel J. Rascoff, and Preface by The Honorable Jane Harman
Identifies new dynamics shaping the oversight of intelligence agencies
Describes the main elements of the intelligence oversight system in select Western Democracies
Offers new ways to think about both the purposes of oversight and the institutions involved in it
Provides detailed analyses of key oversight institutions, especially the courts
Focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of various institutions involved in the oversight of intelligence agencies
In a world that is increasingly unstable, intelligence services like the American CIA and the United Kingdom's MI6 exist to deliver security. Whether the challenge involves terrorism, cyber-security, or the renewed specter of great power conflict, intelligence agencies mitigate threats and provide decisional advantage to national leaders. But empowered intelligence services require adequate supervision and oversight, which must be about more than the narrow (if still precarious) task of ensuring the legality of covert operations and surveillance activities.
Global Intelligence Oversight is a comparative investigation of how democratic countries can govern their intelligence services so that they are effective, but operate within frameworks that are acceptable to their people in an interconnected world. The book demonstrates how the institutions that oversee intelligence agencies participate in the protection of national security while safeguarding civil liberties, balancing among competing national interests, and building public trust in inherently secret activities. It does so by analyzing the role of courts and independent oversight bodies as they operate in countries with robust constitutional frameworks and powerful intelligence services. The book also illuminates a new transnational oversight dynamic that is shaping and constraining security services in new ways. It describes how global technology companies and litigation in transnational forums constitute a new form of oversight whose contours are still undefined. As rapid changes in technology bring the world closer together, these forces will complement their more traditional counterparts in ensuring that intelligence activities remain effective, legitimate, and sustainable.

I always imagined if I got a floating scape, it would be on a more natural looking rock piece. I guess life's funny that way. I'll have to see what I can do about cutting it. It's a zenreef rack - I think the magnet runs a fair way down the length of the rack.
Mittens beat you by 6 minutes lol. Sorry!
One of my Katroporas have claimed 50% of my frag rack. I'm completely torn and conflicted on what to do. Its covered the rack and grown onto the tank as well. Looks super funky.
Would probably be a frag of the katropora and some zoas.
Thank you! In other news - one of my torches is hitting my PC rainbow.... Do I upset the torch or do I let it kill the PC rainbow?
Referencing my coloration problems, two pictures of my SC OP. Am I just being unrealistic? This seems to be the extent to the colors I'm getting, but I feel like other people's polyps are far more orange. The two pictures are under differing light spectrums throughout the day.
This one is starting to shape up nicely.
I pretty much followed step by step, Ty Ta's cutting method. Pretty simply actually - a single straight snip with a pair of scissors. Weirdest feeling in the world cutting it... I was incredibly anxious for the rest of the day.
They seem to be ok so far. Actually seems to be recovering pretty rapidly, especially considering some of the recent fluctuations I've had with my water quality.
Only if the copper is below therapeutic levels. If treated at therapeutic levels for the appropriate time period, it will eliminate parasites such as ich or velvet. I am unfamiliar with copper's viability for bacterial or fungal infections.

The Cost of COVID-19
It is hard to believe that it's been nearly seven months since the pandemic caused widespread closures across Allegheny County. While libraries also closed their doors (temporarily), they continued to serve in a variety of ways. They offered a full range of virtual programming for all ages, online and phone reference support, access to their free WiFi from sidewalks and parking lots. Library staff reached out to community partners to help deliver books and other materials to the public. The eLibrary provided access to electronic books, magazines, music, and videos. Libraries responded and found so many ways to engage and assist in their communities.
Gradually, libraries are reopening their doors. Curbside service saw the return of "real books" and Grab-and-Go bags provide activities for kids. Computer time can be reserved. And some libraries have even welcomed browsers back again. All of this required careful planning and extensive safety measures – and additional cost.
We were able to access a number of emergency funding opportunities. Twenty-nine libraries applied for and received Payroll Protection Program loans. Allegheny County provided CARES Act funding to replace lost revenue from the Allegheny Regional Asset District. ACLA and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh assisted in placing a countywide order for Personal Protective Equipment at reduced rates. Those costs were further offset by CARES Act funding through the Office of Commonwealth Libraries. Several libraries received CARES Act funding through the Pennsylvania Humanities Council for services to at-risk populations. We have been fortunate to have access to these various funding streams at the moment of crisis.
That said, the road ahead is uncertain financially. Local governments are struggling, which will impact on their ability to fund library services in 2021. The State has not resolved a final budget for the full fiscal year 2020-21. And the recovery of sales tax revenue that supports ARAD assets (including libraries) is unknown as yet. We need your voices to encourage our elected officials to remember the unfailing service of libraries during the most difficult times we've all been navigating.

We are grateful to all who value library service and donated to their local library during the Love Your Library campaign in September (it's never too late to add your donation!). We are also grateful for the generosity of the Jack Buncher Foundation in providing matching funds for this event for the fifth year in a row.
Keeping libraries strong will be a shared responsibility. We welcome your support in accomplishing that.


Don't land. That is almost certainly going to either hurt the dog or cause further stress. Animals are prone to notice Drones when they are flying close to the ground. We recommend that you raise the Drone to a higher altitude. You will find this almost always causes animals to lose interest. Then you can go about bringing the Drone back to you or continuing the flight.

El amor no tiene precio es una telenovela mexicana producida por Alfredo Schwarz para Televisa y Univisión , en coproducción con Fonovideo en el año 2005.

Protagonizada por Susana González y Víctor Noriega, y con las participaciones antagónicas de Eugenia Cauduro, Susana Dosamantes, Víctor González, Alba Roversi, Gabriela Vergara, Jorge Martínez y Yul Bürkle.

Adaptación de Pobre señorita Limantour, original de Inés Rodena y producida por Carla Estrada para Televisa en 1987.

Sinopsis
María Liz vive en un barrio pobre de la ciudad de Miami con su abuelo materno, un anciano inglés llamado Henry Alexander. María Liz tenía 12 años cuando su madre, tras el abandono de su esposo, cayó en una profunda depresión y murió al poco tiempo. El señor Alexander acababa de perder su fortuna por una caída en la bolsa de valores y el golpe adicional de la muerte de su hija afectó su mente. A base de esfuerzo y determinación, María Liz logró terminar sus estudios y recibirse de enfermera, aunque no abandonó su sueño de estudiar medicina. Con lo que gana en su trabajo mantiene a su abuelo, que aún guarda una maleta llena de acciones y jura que algún día recobrará su fortuna. María Liz también ayuda en lo que puede a su novio, Marcelo, que estudia la carrera de ingeniero. Pero Marcelo es un hombre egoísta que sólo piensa en terminar su carrera y marcharse de la vecindad en cuanto consiga un buen trabajo, olvidándose de los sacrificios de sus padres y María Liz.

En un barrio elegante de la ciudad vive Sebastián con su madre, Doña Lucrecia. Sebastián es ingeniero civil; un hombre íntegro, trabajador y seguro de sí mismo que detesta el mundo falso en el que vive su madre, quien fue despojada de la fortuna que heredó de su esposo por su familia política, y a base de trabajo y sacrificios ha mantenido la apariencia de un nivel de vida elevado.

Marcelo consigue trabajo en la constructora donde trabaja Sebastián y de inmediato se olvida de su promesa de matrimonio a María Liz. Comienza a intrigar para quedarse con el puesto de Sebastián... y con su prometida, Araceli, que es la hija del dueño de la constructora.

Cuando un trabajador resulta herido en un accidente, Sebastián lo lleva al hospital donde trabaja María Liz. Aunque su primer encuentro es conflictivo, Sebastián reconoce que es muy buena enfermera y al poco tiempo la contrata para que atienda a su madre. Pero Doña Lucrecia comienza a hacerle la vida imposible a la joven cuando se da cuenta de que su hijo se está enamorando de María Liz, y ella de él. Doña Lucrecia quiere para su hijo la seguridad económica y el nivel social que le daría su matrimonio con la frívola y superficial Araceli, pero Sebastián ha encuentra en María Liz a la mujer de sus sueños, una mujer noble, fuerte y sincera que sabe que "El amor no tiene precio".

Maria Liz se tiene que enfrentar a varios enemigos, como Aracely , Doña Lucrecia y Rosalía quien resulta ser su peor enemiga.

Q: Multiple MapActivitys in the stack I understand this topic has been covered a few times, and often the proposed solution to having 'multiple' MapActivity classes is to run one in a different processes. I don't want to do this, I've got 3.
I've instead refactored one MapActivity Subclass to operate in 3 different modes.

package com.rossgreenhalf.maptest.activity;

import android.os.Bundle;

import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity;

public class MyMapActivity extends MapActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
    super.onCreate(icicle);

    /* Inflate xml view, Set Zoom etc */
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

        int mode = getIntent().getExtras().getInt("MAP_MODE");

        switch(mode){
        case 1:
            /* Some markers to show */
            break;
        case 2:
            /* Just one Marker */
            break;
        case 3:
            /* Only showing my location */
            break;
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
    return false;
    }
}

I'm allowing multiple instances of the MapActivity to reside within the task stack, as it's launch mode is still set as 'Standard'. This approach seems to work ok, and I'm not getting the Connection Pool Shutdown message that some seem to get, I'm a little confused as to whether multiple MapActivity instances actually exist or whether android is reusing one automatically?
I am however getting this error, which I don't know how serious it is:

Am I taking the correct approach to this? Should I be concerned with that error?

A: I got the same problem and after searching I found this post about the same issue
https://novoda.lighthouseapp.com/projects/63622/tickets/157-leak-receiver-searchresult
it suggests that the problem rises when using multiple map activities within your application.
so in manifest.xml file of my app I made each map activity run in a separate process:
android:process=":p1"
android:process=":p2"

you can read more about this in Android docs. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#proc

"Using trans-media techniques to immerse readers in journalistic stories with their virtual embodied selves": in a sentence, this is immersive journalism, according to James Pallot, co-founder of Emblematic Group, a multimedia company which hopes to re-invent the future of journalism by immersing it into augmented and virtual reality.
The Emblematic Group approach to news-making is to give people the chance to enter the environment and the context where the news happened. A digitally-rendered, first-person version of actual events – recreated with original real source material – is accessed via a virtual reality headset. Pallot, speaking at the recent re:publica conference in Berlin, said immersive journalism aims to generate "a strong emotional reaction" to news, by stressing the feeling of "being there".
One of the first immersive journalism projects dates back to 2007: "Gone Gitmo" is a virtual representation of the conditions experienced by detainees in Guantanamo jail. It was created on the basis of Mohammed al-Qahtani's interrogation logs, obtained through a FOIA request.
By wearing the virtual reality headset, viewers can re-live the disturbing experience of being in a cell in Cuba, including being forced to sit in painful positions, as detainees are, according to the interrogation logs.
The experience is made even more realistic by the inclusion of audio, replicating the guards voices and the jail noises. The goal of this project, Pallot told the audience in Berlin, was to "recreate the first person experience" but also the third person one as, at a certain point, by turning aside, viewers can see themselves as detainees reflected in a mirror.
"Hunger in Los Angeles" is a similar project from 2012, originally commissioned from Nonny de la Peña by the University of Southern California and premiered at the Sundance Festival.
In this case, again by using a headset, viewers can live the experience of queuing outside the First Unitarian Church on 6th Street in Los Angeles, waiting to get food and aid. At a certain point, a starving man falls to the ground in a diabetic coma. The project is based on a real news story and it's a powerful storytelling example of food issues in the US.
Later, Embelmatic Group also started using more user-generated content as a source for its work, starting from the "Use of Force" piece. The project is dedicated to the story of Anastacio Hernandez Rojas, a migrant killed by the police on the border between Mexico and the US. In this case, the news scene has been rendered from two points of view, offered by two different pieces of footage: one shot on the street, close to the event, and another one, taken from a balcony above.
By wearing the headset, viewers are either taken onto the street, or to the same balcony, watching the man being beaten to death. The virtual "double" of the victim was recreated with a 3D scan. Last January, "Use of Force" was featured on BuzzFeed, which also used it as an experiment to test the reactions of its journalists to the immersive journalism experience and to the feeling of "being" in the news. Results are very interesting, also from a psychological point of view, and have been summed up in a video, shown by James Pallot at re:publica.
"Project Syria", is probably Nonny de la Peña's and Emblematic Group's most famous work so far. It was originally commissioned for the World Economic Forum in Davos and it is based on two different scenes from the Syrian conflict. The first one deals with a rocket strike that hit a building in Aleppo, while the second one takes place in an overcrowded refugee camp and shows the living conditions of the people living there.
In the air strike video, the Emblematic Group team has "recreated" the scenes starting from original Ugc footage, including a video shot on the street near the hit building. Moreover, digital scans of witnesses were created, making the final outcome even more realistic.
On the border with documentary, immersive journalism is without doubt one of the most interesting scenarios for the future of journalism. According to James Pallot, the shape of journalism to come will have to do with "the sense of being there" in the news and not only in its own reporting. The future of journalism will be about pushing the borders of what we call "journalism" even further.

Heidi Zito: Fragmented View Into Human Nature
Natalie Kotok
Reflection on Contemporary Society
Heidi Zito, a New York-based oil artist, creates a gorgeously fragmented marriage of abstraction and realism in what she refers to as a "meditation on predicaments caused by modern capitalism and the pursuit of success and happiness." Painted on wooden panels, these sumptuously layered and deeply introspective visuals create the perfect amount of discord in the viewer's eyes, to invite them evocatively inwards.
"Sequence of Patience" Series by Heidi Zito, 2018
Zito is currently represented by Georges Berges Gallery in NYC and attributes her depth of scope and values to her varied childhood. "My mother is Japanese and my father is Italian American – I think growing up between the United States and Japan has shaped me as an artist." Art has always been a part of Zito's "every day", making its way into everything she does. "I have been an artist for as long as I can remember – drawing with anything I could and, on any surface I could find". Always finding expression in "modifying and distorting moments or scenes" has birthed the uniquely juxtaposed surreal air to her works.
In 2005, Zito attended Florida State University, where she studied Fine Arts, which is where she explored oil painting as a medium. Experimenting with new materials and being taken under the wing of a few "great and nurturing teachers" surged Heidi's skill forward. So much so that she continued on to achieve a Master's Degree at the School of Visual Arts in New York, which gave her exposure to the NYC art scene.
"My work creates vivid, impassioned depictions of fragmented subjects, rendered with layers of deep color and expressive gesture. I combine abstraction with figurative rendering in a multi-layer process that expresses the conflict and inconsistencies between mind, body and public persona."
"Study Room" by Heidi Zito
Drawing inspiration from a variety of sources, Zito creates her vivid and "impassioned depictions of fragmented subjects", rendering layers of deep color and expressive gesture in a multi-layer process, where portraiture meets smudged, chaotic blur and realism meets abstracted suggestion. She will often revisit her paintings many times "adding, manipulating, and blending gestures to capture the complexity and depth of the human psyche." Zito seems rooted in making her process as complex, ineffable and gorgeously mysterious as the human mind, which is so difficult to conceptualize even to the psychiatrist.
Heidi Zito's visuals offer a clearer insight into the turmoil of emotional tug-o-war than any psychology dissertation. "As humans, our true thoughts, desires, and emotions are often guarded and buried behind our carefully crafted and curated exteriors. I want viewers to consider and explore the marginal space, the incongruous gap that alters our desires and tempers our actions to align with societal expectations and norms."

Q: How to refresh an extension automatically on installing it in chrome extension? Hi I am in need to refresh an extension automatically just on installation in chrome extension.When I enable the extension at the moment certain actions should be performed.Presently after enabling and then reloading only the actions are performed.But I need those actions to be performed just when the extension is enabled.Also I am using alarms for periodic checking.So that in every 5 min the checking is performed.
Here is my background.js
  var oldChromeVersion = !chrome.runtime;
       function getGmailUrl() {
       return "http://calpinemate.com/";
            }
  function isGmailUrl(url) {
  return url.indexOf(getGmailUrl()) == 0;
   }

    if (chrome.runtime && chrome.runtime.onStartup) {
      chrome.runtime.onStartup.addListener(function() {
          updateIcon();
        });
       } else {
       chrome.windows.onCreated.addListener(function() {
          updateIcon();
          });
         }
       function onInit() {
            updateIcon();

   if (!oldChromeVersion) {
      chrome.alarms.create('watchdog', {periodInMinutes:5});
        }
          }
       function onAlarm(alarm) {
       console.log('Got alarm', alarm);
           if (alarm && alarm.name == 'watchdog') {
           onWatchdog();
            }
         else {
      updateIcon();
          }
      }

    function onWatchdog() {
    chrome.alarms.get('refresh', function(alarm) {
     if (alarm) {
     console.log('Refresh alarm exists.');
    }
          else {
       updateIcon();

          }
       });

       }
     if (oldChromeVersion) {
       updateIcon();
       onInit();

       }
      else {

      chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(onInit);
       chrome.alarms.onAlarm.addListener(onAlarm);
       }

    function updateIcon(){

   .....//certain functions are performed
       }

In the above code i need to perform function updateIcon() when the extension is enabled.Now according to my code , what happens is that this function is performed either in every 5 min or by reloading the extension after enabling.I can't figure out what is happening?What I ahve to do in order to perform at the time of enabling?

Chancellor's Administrative Organization
Hazel Barnes Prize
Open Records Act Requests
From the Chancellor - CU Boulder to begin spring semester remotely
I hope this email finds you and your family healthy and safe during this difficult time. I want to update the CU Boulder community on the impacts of the historic Marshall Fire in Boulder County as it pertains to our students, faculty and staff. While the fires may be extinguished, the long road of recovery and healing in many local neighborhoods is just beginning.
As we near the start of the semester, we ask our campus community to act with compassion. Several hundred CU Boulder faculty, staff and students live in the evacuation areas and have not been able to return to their homes yet. They may not know if their homes are still standing.
As this recovery begins, we have decided to begin the spring term on Monday, Jan. 10, with fully remote instruction for the first two weeks of the semester. By delaying our in-person return until Jan. 24, we are doing our part to support the community. Because of the impacts of the fires, in combination with concerns about the COVID-19 omicron variant, the broader Boulder area is not in a position to welcome back thousands of students over the next week. The remote start will allow us to provide the support needed to our impacted students, faculty and staff. It will also help us provide resources in support of communitywide recovery efforts.
Research and creative work will continue as usual in accordance with masking and social distancing requirements. We encourage faculty and research staff to be flexible with accommodating researchers and graduate students during this time.
On- and off-campus housing and student fees
Residence halls will remain closed until Jan. 21. We will reduce room and board rates and pro-rate other fees to account for the two weeks of remote instruction and operations. We recognize some students, who may have been impacted by the fire or are experiencing other unique circumstances, may need on-campus housing sooner, and they should email University Housing. Students living in our residence halls will receive additional information shortly.
In order to further support our community during this time, students living in off-campus housing are strongly encouraged to delay their return to the Boulder area until Jan. 21, in advance of the start of in-person classes.
Academic and work accommodations
Employees impacted by the fire who need work accommodations as the semester begins should contact their supervisors. Students impacted by the fire who need academic support should contact their instructors directly and—for further assistance—Student Support and Case Management. Faculty should conduct their teaching, research and creative work remotely unless they need to be on campus for these activities.
Staff are also encouraged to work remotely during this time unless their presence on campus is necessary to help support continuity of operations, which should be determined in consultation with their supervisors.
COVID-19 considerations
We recognize that this disaster comes amid a surge in COVID-19 cases and the omicron variant. The Boulder community has reported a very sharp increase in COVID-19 cases in the past week and the surge is likely to continue into January. Our Scientific Steering Committee and our campus Public Health Office continue to meet frequently to assess specific conditions on our campus, in the Boulder community and statewide to make recommendations to campus leadership. We strongly encourage everyone to get a COVID-19 booster shot and will update our campus community in early January about any new vaccination requirements.
For anyone in our community affected by this disaster, please know that CU Boulder stands with you. We have launched a new webpage where you can access resources to navigate this crisis in the days and weeks ahead.
This year has been a challenge for us all in so many ways. As we turn our attention to the coming year, I wish the best for all the Buffs here in Boulder and beyond in 2022. Please take care of yourselves and each other.

Harry Bosch, the main protagonist of Michael Connelly Bosch series, has captivated the police procedural fans across the world for more than 2 decades and the release of the Amazon Prime original series "Bosch" has made the novels even more popular.
For those avid readers who can't get enough of Bosch , there is some good news: Connelly will publish the new installment in the Harry Bosch series on Nov. 7, 2017. As of now, this installment is still untitled. 2017 will also be a year where the bestselling author starts a new series after almost 10 years featuring a young LAPD detective named Renée Ballard.
In this upcoming novel title Late Show, Ballard works the night shift in Hollywood, beginning many investigations but finishing none as each morning she turns her cases over to day shift detectives. A once up-and-coming detective, she's been given this beat as punishment after filing a sexual harassment complaint against a supervisor.
The Late Show will be released on July 18, 2017 in the USA and Canada. Till then, the most recent book in the Bosch series, The Wrong Side of Goodbye , can be a solid companion.

FAIR Legislative Update June 12, 2012
Backdoor Amnesty Moves to California; Number of Illegal Alien Beneficiaries Grows
In the latest phase of the Obama Administration's backdoor amnesty scheme, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attorneys last week began reviewing more than 18,000 pending deportation cases in San Francisco, California. (San Jose Mercury News, June 5, 2012)
Under the review, the Administration will administratively close — or otherwise ignore — any pending or incoming immigration case it does not deem a priority for immigration enforcement. (See Letter from DHS Secretary Napolitano to Harry Reid, Aug. 18, 2012)
Thus far, ICE has reviewed over 288,000 cases pending removal. Of those reviewed, ICE plans to administratively close 20,648. Over 4,300 of these cases have already been processed and the remaining will be closed pending background checks. (See case-by-case review statistics here, June 8, 2012; see also New York Times, June 6, 2012) The Administration had offered an additional 3,998 illegal and criminal aliens prosecutorial discretion, but they declined the offer. Nonetheless, the Administration has gone on to grant a majority of them work authorization. (Id.)
The number of illegal and criminal aliens granted administrative amnesty as a result of the review has almost tripled in the last few months. As of March 5, ICE had administratively closed or dismissed roughly 1,600 cases and had deemed an additional 11,000 eligible for closure. (See ICE email, Mar. 9, 2012)
The latest ICE statistics also reveal that the agency has reviewed approximately 111,000 incoming cases for prosecutorial discretion. It claims, however, that it is still determining the number of cases actually closed. (See case-by-case review statistics, June 8, 2012)
ICE has already reviewed pending deportation cases in New York, Detroit, Seattle, New Orleans, Orlando, Baltimore, and Denver. (FAIR Legislative Update, Apr. 2, 2012) It expects to complete the review of San Francisco's pending cases by June 15, 2012, and then moves to the Los Angeles docket in July. (San Jose Mercury News, June 5, 2012; Huffington Post, Mar. 30, 2012)
House Passes Homeland Security Funding Bill, Immigration Front-and-Center
Late Thursday, the House passed its fiscal year 2013 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill 234-182. The bill, H.R. 5855, provides $39.1 billion in discretionary spending for the Department, $484 million below the current fiscal year's level and $394 million less than President Obama's request. (CQ Today, June 7, 2012; see FAIR Legislative Update, May 14, 2012)
True immigration reformers in the House offered numerous amendments to the legislation, which FAIR supported. These amendments included:
Barletta (R-PA) — Prohibits funds from going to sanctuary cities (adopted via voice vote)
Black (R-TN) — Prohibits funding for the position of Public Advocate/illegal alien lobbyist within Immigration Customs and Enforcement (adopted via voice vote)
Cravaack (R-MN) — Prohibits the use of Immigration and Customs Enforcement funds to provide alternative forms of detention for criminal aliens (adopted via voice vote)
Graves (R-MO) — Prohibits DHS from implementing its rule to circumvent the 3 and 10-yr bars to admission for unlawful presence (adopted via voice vote)
King (R-IA) — Prohibits funds to enforce the Morton Memos (adopted 238-175)
Poe (R-TX) — Transfers $10 million from the Office of the Undersecretary for Management to Border Security Fencing, Infrastructure, and Technology for border cell phone service (adopted 302-113)
Price (R-GA) — Prohibits funds from being used to circumvent/fail to enforce immigration laws (adopted via voice vote)
Sullivan (R-OK) — Prohibits funds from being used to terminate the 287(g) program (adopted 250-164)
Despite overwhelming support in the House for the bill and its responsible immigration-reform measures, the legislation's future remains unclear. President Obama has already threatened to veto the bill. Moreover, the Senate Appropriations Committee has passed its own version of FY 2013 DHS appropriations, which cuts several key immigration programs. (See Statement of Administration Policy, June 6, 2012; see also FAIR Legislative Update, May 30, 2012) Stay tuned to FAIR for updates as the legislation moves through Congress...
D.C. Directs Jails to Ignore ICE Detainers, Undermine Secure Communities
The City Council for the District of Columbia (D.C.) adopted a measure Tuesday, Bill 19-585, aimed at undermining the federal government's Secure Communities program by directing jails to ignore Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers except for in limited circumstances. (Washington Post, June 5, 2012; Judiciary Committee Report on Bill 19-585, p. 96)
The D.C. Council passed the measure in response to ICE's activation of Secure Communities in the District that same day, along with the territories of Guam, American Somoa, and the Virgin Islands. (See ICE list of activated jurisdictions, updated June 5, 2012)
The ordinance impedes D.C. correctional officers' ability to honor ICE detainers in several ways. First, the measure prohibits their ability to hold aliens for longer than a 24-hour period for ICE to pick-up, despite federal regulations requiring a 48-hour period. (See 19-585 at § 2(a)); see also 8 C.F.R. 287.7(d)) Furthermore, Committee testimony from a hearing on the measure suggests D.C. officials will not hold aliens that are picked up on Fridays or the day before a holiday. (Judiciary Committee Report on Bill 19-585, p. 12 description of § 2, fn 27, May 8, 2012)
Second, the measure prohibits officers from honoring and ICE detainer unless the alien is at least 18 years of age and has been convicted of one of the following:
A dangerous or violent crime for which the alien is currently in custody;
A dangerous or violent crime within 10 years of the detainer request, or if the alien was just released after having served a sentence for such crime within 5 years of the request; or
A crime in another jurisdiction that constitutes a dangerous or violent crime in D.C.
(19-585 at § 2(b)). The measure does provide, however, that D.C. officers may honor an ICE detainer for any alien convicted of a homicide regardless of how long ago the conviction occurred. (Id. at § 2(c))
Finally, the measure expressly prohibits D.C. officers from providing to any ICE agent "an office, booth, or any facility or equipment" to use to inquire about the immigration status of inmates. (Id. at § 2(d))
Members of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department have already decried the measure's passage. "If we, the D.C. police, arrest a convicted child molester that is here illegally and ICE says hold that individual and they don't get down here in 24 hours, we're going to put that man back on the street," said Metropolitan Police Department Labor Committee Chairman Kristopher Baumann. (NPR, June 7, 2012)
The measure expands an executive order issued by D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray last fall. That order prohibited all public safety agencies from inquiring about an individual's immigration status or from contacting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if there is no nexus to a criminal investigation. (See Mayor's Order 2011-174, Oct. 19, 2011; see also FAIR Legislative Update, Oct. 24, 2011)
Milwaukee Executive Signs Resolution to Ignore ICE Detainers
Last week, Milwaukee County, WI Executive Chris Abele signed into law a resolution passed by the County Board of Supervisors that would limit the Sheriff Office's (MCSO) ability to honor U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, June 4, 2012; see also Adopted Resolution #12-135)
Specifically, the proposed resolution #12-135, provides the MCSO shall only honor an ICE detainer IF the alien:
Has been convicted of at least one felony or two non-traffic related misdemeanors;
Has been convicted or charged with any domestic violence offense or violation of a protective order;
Has been convicted or charged with intoxicated use of a vehicle;
Is a defendant in a pending criminal case, has an outstanding criminal warrant, or is an identified gang member; or
Is a possible match on the U.S. terrorist watch list.
(See Adopted Resolution #12-135; see also FAIR Legislative Update, May 21, 2012)
Mr. Abele changed his position and signed the resolution after being the target of lobbyists for several open borders groups. According to a spokesman for Mr. Abele, the County Executive met representatives of Voces de la Frontera and Milwaukee Inner-city Congregations Allied for Hope prior to signing the resolution. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, June 4, 2012)
Mr. Abele addressed his about-face in a written statement: "As I've said in the past, I believe immigration issues like this are best handled at the federal level. Because of that, I was reluctant to sign this policy," he said. "However, after meeting with advocates and talking to experts on both sides I'm signing this as the start of what I hope will become a bigger conversation on immigration reform." (Id.)
Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr., however, called the resolution nothing more than symbolic and said that his office would continue to cooperate with ICE. (WUWM News, June 4, 2012) Sheriff Clarke also criticized Mr. Abele for changing his position, "It's not the right thing to do to lie to people," Clarke said. "To me, this guy has no credibility." (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, June 4, 2012)
Milwaukee now joins San Francisco County, Santa Clara County, Cook County, the District of Columbia, and New York City in refusing to honor ICE detainers.
California City Losing Battle on E-Verify Requirement
The City Council of Mission Viejo, California could be gearing up to repeal a city law that requires businesses to use E-Verify.
The Council will soon vote on whether to repeal a 2010 ordinance, 10-281, which requires any contractors for the City of Mission Viejo to use the online work authorization verification system known as E-Verify to confirm the legal working status of newly-hired employees. (See Mission Viejo Municipal Code at Title 2 § 2.80)
The City Council began debating whether to repeal the ordinance last November after California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law AB 1236, legislation prohibiting municipalities from mandating the use of E-Verify unless required by federal law or as a condition of receiving federal funds. (AB 1236 at §2; see also FAIR Legislative Update, Oct. 11, 2011) It delayed its plans to repeal the E-Verify ordinance, however, to see if other California cities would challenge the new law. (Orange County Register, Nov. 22, 2011)
Those with E-Verify requirements similar to the Mission Viejo ordinance include the cities of Murrieta, Hemet, Temecula, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, Menifee, Escondido, San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente, Placentia, Yorba Linda, and San Bernardino County. (Orange County Register, Nov. 22, 2011; see also Press-Enterprise, Oct. 20, 2011; see also North County Times, Nov. 9, 2011) However, none of these cities challenged AB 1236, and some have already repealed or modified their ordinances to comply with state law. (North County Times, Nov. 9, 2011)
Since no local jurisdiction had challenged the law, the Council placed the E-Verify repeal back on its agenda. A new delay occurred when the council voted to table the motion for an additional week to allow extra time to conduct research on the issue. (Mission Viejo Council Meeting Summary and Video, June 4, 2012; see also Orange County Register, June 4, 2012)
The council now expects to vote on the repeal at the meeting the following meeting scheduled to take place June 18. (See Mission Viejo Council Calendar, June 4, 2012) Stay tuned to FAIR as details unfold...

FIGHT FOR ENVIRONMENT
D'Sa lauded for fight for environmental justice
Tags: goldman environmental prize, rudi putra, pollution
A passionate and outspoken activist from Durban has won the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize. Desmond D'Sa, an environmental hero with an unfailing commitment to environmental justice and environmental rights for all, has changed his entire community. Despite fire bombings and attempted shady business deal buy-outs, he stands firmly by his desire for justice and equality.
D'Sa fights tirelessly to defend the rights of the poor, who are worst affected by environmental injustices. And for this he received the Goldman Environmental Prize for Outstanding Environmental Achievement in Africa on 28 April, in the United States.
Forcibly removed by the apartheid government from their home, the D'Sa family was resettled in South Durban, an area with no parks but plenty of large oil refineries, chemical tank farms and paper mills. The young D'Sa quickly realised that corporate pollution was killing people; seeing his neighbours and family members suffer dreadful ailments he realised that something had to change drastically.
His first impression of South Durban was shocking, he says. "To see so many smoke chimneys and factories located alongside residential housing and kids playing in the plumes of the pollution. In this urban jungle there were no clean running rivers, no vegetable gardens and only red soil. As the years went by, there was a rapid increase in industry and petrochemical expansion.
"This made me realise we were deliberately placed to live alongside dirty industries and our lungs played the role of purifiers for pollution from these factories."
Regular visits of the government ambulances became more frequent – and they would come with nebulisers and oxygen cylinders to ensure that people, especially children, were able to breathe properly. It got worse, and D'Sa and his friends were unable to play outside, driven indoors by the rank air from the factories. Crops could not be grown, and people had to buy all their fruit and vegetables, taking a further financial toll on the poor community.
D'Sa vowed to change the life of his community. In 1990, he co-founded the South Durban Community Environmental Alliance (SDCEA), which unites a diverse group of South Africans with an ultimate goal of environmental justice for all. By 1996, he was tirelessly campaigning against toxic waste dumping in South Durban, a poor but highly industrialised area.
Closing down dumps
A California non-profit group called Global Community Monitor partnered with local residents and D'Sa to expose the detrimental reality of the air pollution and the illnesses that were abundant in the area. A "bucket brigade" of residents collected samples of air, which were then sent to the US where they were analysed. They showed high levels of benzene, a confirmed carcinogen, and several health studies found incidence of asthma in 52% of the children and a quantified cancer risk at 25 in 100 000 people, compared with the norm of 1 in 100 000.
"When we got the results back, we developed a flow chart of all the different smells and odours so that people could be better educated about the chemical odours and the impact they would have on health," says D'Sa.
After relentless campaigning, the dump was closed. But as a result of his passion, in 2011 his home was firebombed. Speaking to the Washington Post, he said: "We face dangers all the time because we stand up for justice and truth and for people who can't speak for themselves. But that will not deter me from doing what's right. I'm not going to be afraid.
"The attack resulted in me and my daughter being rushed to hospital. I endured facial injuries and burns to my arms as well as respiratory difficulties. The attack changed me in a way where I became stronger, more confident to speak the truth and not be afraid as I knew that I was doing the right thing."
About his choice as winner, David Gordon, the executive director of the Goldman prize, said: "He really stood out for his passionate activism and the way he's organised his community to achieve a really important victory." The Goldman award highlights the SDCEA's 2011 struggle and victory in getting Wasteman Holding's Bulbul Drive toxic landfill site, which was exposing residents to dangerous chemicals, shut down.
The toxic dump
South Durban is home to almost 70% of South Africa's industry, including more than 300 oil and gas refineries, paper mills, agrochemical plants and hazardous waste landfills such as the Bulbul Drive dump. For more than two decades, Wasteman Holdings, a South African waste management company, dumped toxic waste from shipyards, factory farms, medical facilities, and oil and chemical factories in the Bulbul Drive landfill, contaminating soil, water and air. The community spent nearly 15 years fighting it, and turned an application for expansion in 2009 to a closure in 2011.
Still, the shutdown is just the first step. The landfill's leachate – the liquid that runs off the waste – is so toxic that other disposal sites won't take it. The government has instructed Wasteman to build an onsite plant, to pretreat it before shipping it elsewhere.
Paying tribute to South Durban residents, D'Sa says: "The closing of the Bulbul Drive landfill is a remarkable triumph and a deserving victory for the hundreds of tenacious and brave residents who campaigned tirelessly for years to close down the landfill."
And he is over the moon at being awarded "the Nobel Prize for grassroots environmentalism".
Environmental alliance
The SDCEA embraces a holistic approach, with an ideal of achieving environmental justice for all. It focuses on water and land issues, basic human rights, all types of pollution, and resisting toxic industrial expansion, development and infrastructure projects that seek to destroy the community. The group challenges policy and legislation, builds education and awareness, and community empowerment.
Guardian of Earth
D'Sa seeks out environmental justice, explaining: "This is about equity and justice as well as basic human rights while living in harmony with nature and other species. It is about those with power – the politicians as well as the corporations – abusing the poor.
"Today in South Africa I see the increase of injustices and inequality towards people and the environment and the way in which we all interact with the built environment as well. What is noticeable to me is the destruction of our social systems, ecosystems, flora and fauna as well as many other aspects of the world we live in. As a result of this inequality – together with Brazil, South Africa is the most unequal country in the world, where the gap between the richest and poorest is the greatest – the level of poverty is rising, and there is a general lack of access to basic needs such as water, energy, housing and proper sanitation."
With the increase in industry and toxic emissions, he says, the level of health concerns escalated to an extent that the community realised they needed to take a stand and fight for their rights to an environment that was not harmful to their health and well-being. "For me it was more than just a stand; it was to bring to the attention of all community members, [the] government, and huge corporations that corporate polluting activities – condoned by [the] government – are killing us, the residents of South Durban, daily."
Still fearlessly fighting, D'Sa has great plans in the pipeline. He is contending a proposal to expand the port of Durban that would shift and misplace thousands of South Durban residents and exacerbate waste, pollution and traffic in the neighbourhood.
"[The government] wants to develop a dug-out port which will result in some of us losing our homes. We are losing our social fabric and our urban neighbourhoods are changing from residential to peripheral industrial wastelands," he explains.
The major infrastructure development of the dug-out port will be backed by the Infrastructure Development legislation which basically gives the government the right to do as it pleases, for the "good of the nation" and elite corporate wealth. This is the SDCEA's focus over the near future.
"[The expansion] will cause the biggest social upheaval since apartheid. We already suffered enough trauma under apartheid; we lost our lands, our houses, our communities. We don't want to go through that again," says D'Sa, who has vowed to fight the plan at every step.
It was a foreboding echo of history, said Global Community Monitor executive director Denny Larson, "as corporate and other forces legally and forcibly evict people from land where they've been living for a long time. It would be the largest removal of residents – many subsistence fisher folk – since apartheid."
Goldman Environmental Award
Established in 1989 by late San Francisco civic leaders and philanthropists Richard and Rhoda Goldman, the Goldman Environmental Prize annually honours grassroots women and men from inner cities or remote villages who make significant efforts to protect and enhance the natural environment, often taking personal risks.
The winners receive $175 000 (about R1.8-million) and a bronze sculpture called the Ouroboros that depicts a serpent biting its tail, a symbol of nature's power of renewal in many cultures.
There are two ceremonies: first, in San Francisco at the War Memorial Opera House. Over 3 000 people attend the always packed, emotion-filled event. Later that week, prize recipients attend the second ceremony in Washington DC. At the ceremonies, short documentary films provide an introduction to the recipients and their accomplishments.
Other winners
Other winners this year include the Indonesian biologist Rudi Putra, who dismantled illegal palm oil plantations causing deforestation; Russian zoologist Suren Gazaryan, who exposed government corruption and the illegal use of federally protected forestland along Russia's Black Sea coast; Ruth Buendia from Peru, who stood up to dam construction that would have uprooted indigenous people; the American attorney Helen Slottje, who provided pro-bono legal assistance to defend many towns targeted by gas drilling operations; and Ramesh Agrawal from India who, from his small internet café, began a successful campaign to stop a huge coal mining project in an area already affected by pollution.

The Third Side
Lee Williams May 14, 2009 4:00AM
Chances are Darwin had no idea that his theory of evolution would still be causing such a controversy 150 years after he published Origin of the Species. As the debate in education circles continues, Mildred's Umbrella Theatre Company is taking another look at the naturalist's legacy with its premiere of Tom Vaughan's The Third Side, about a biology professor who questions Darwin. He "decides that natural selection is not the driving force behind evolution," says M.U. Artistic Director Jennifer Decker. "He believes there might be a pattern. He claims that he is not arguing for intelligent design, but that's what it is." His career is on the line, and so are his beliefs. See what all the monkey business is about today at The Third Side. 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays. Through May 30. DiverseWorks, 1117 East Freeway. For information, call 832-418-0585 or visit www.mildredsumbrella.com. $10.
Mondays, Thursdays-Saturdays. Starts: May 15. Continues through May 30, 2009

While not a primary focus of the studio, occasionally logistics work out for qualified outside freelance engineers to rent out the studio. In these instances, a knowledgeable assistant engineer will be on-site and available to help facilitate a smooth session. Contact us to explore this further!
James Auwarter prioritizes booking sessions at Coda Room Audio, however, when projects require, travel and freelancing at outside studio locations is still possible (and the rates negotiable). He is most comfortable doing all mixing, mastering, and smaller recording sessions at Coda Room, while freelancing outside of Coda Room is typically only done when a specific tracking session is in need of a larger recording space (drums/rhythm section, choirs, orchestras, etc).
