Rangers look to make it two straight in K.C.
Thu May 16 2:50am ET
After snapping their second five-game losing streak of the season with a 6-1 victory Wednesday, the Texas Rangers will look to take the series against the Royals in a Thursday matinee in Kansas City, Mo.
The Royals, on the other hand, will be looking to win a rubber game for the first time this season.
Kansas City has not won a series since taking three straight games against the Cleveland Indians from April 12-14. The Royals have split the first two games in each of their past five three-game series, and they lost the finale on each of the previous four occasions.
Both teams will be sending veteran starters to the mound, pitchers who would rather let their arms do the talking. The Royals will rely on right-hander Homer Bailey (4-3, 4.83 ERA), while the Rangers will start righty Lance Lynn (4-3, 5.48 ERA).
Lynn is tied for the team lead with his four wins. His high ERA has come down with three straight effective starts, going 2-1 with a 4.05 ERA (nine earned runs in 20 innings) with 20 strikeouts. When asked about how he would approach the Royals' lineup he quipped to reporters, "I'm just going to flip a coin and hope for the best."
Bailey earned his club-leading fourth win in a 5-1 defeat of the Phillies in his last outing. He allowed one run on four hits in five innings. He declined to comment before Wednesday's game about his upcoming start.
The Royals had a frustrating night Wednesday. Three times in the first four innings, they had runners on second and third with one out and failed to produce a single run in those situations. Entering the game, the Royals had been good all season in those situations, with six of Wednesday's starters hitting at least .300. It just didn't happen Thursday.
"I didn't do a good job getting runners across," said Whit Merrifield, who came into the game with a .370 career average with a runner on third and less than two outs. "I was extremely frustrated with my day. (In my) second at-bat, coming up with second and third and one out, I didn't even come close to putting the barrel on the ball. I've got to do a lot better than I did.
"(Rangers starter Mike Minor) was making pitches close to what he wanted to do. I just kept helping him out. He was throwing fastballs up and in, out of the zone. I don't know why I kept swinging at them, but I kept swinging at them."
The Rangers will be without shortstop Elvis Andrus, who was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game with a right hamstring strain. He was replaced on the roster by outfielder Willie Calhoun.
Calhoun acquitted himself well in his season debut, going 2-for-5 with a two-run home run.
Calhoun had been tearing up Triple-A, producing a .365/.500/.692 slash line over his last 16 games. He was batting .304 with eight home runs and 22 RBIs for the season in Nashville. The success carried over to the majors.
"He comes in and is kind of the spark player that gets us going," Texas manager Chris Woodward told reporters. "I'm not surprised. I've seen that bat. He's got amazing hands with that swing. It was nice to see."
Andrus was batting .325 with six home runs and 26 RBIs this season while starting a team-high 38 games. He hurt his hamstring while running out a ground ball in the seventh inning of the series opener Tuesday night. Woodward said he thinks Andrus should be ready to come back within 10 days, but he wants to make sure the injury is fully healed.
"I hope it's before that," Woodward said, "because then he'll be ready. You don't want this to linger with him being an older guy and a shortstop. There are a lot of demands on that position."

Announcing: OTW's GeoCities Rescue Project
As we reported earlier this year, GeoCities, which hosts many fannish resource pages and archives, announced that it will be closing down at the end of the year. They've now announced a more specific date: October 26, 2009.
In response, the Open Doors Committee of the OTW would like to announce our GeoCities Rescue Project.
If you are the owner of a fanfiction archive or resource, meta or other fannish page on GeoCities and you are looking to house your fiction or other content, the OTW can help! Open Doors is teaming up with the Archive of Our Own and Fanlore to preserve as much material as possible.
Fanfiction: We're offering AO3 beta accounts to fanfiction authors currently hosted on GeoCities –both single author and multiple author archives are welcome–so that you may preserve your fiction. If you are not the author, owner or site administrator, you can still document and memorialize parts of a fanfiction site on Fanlore, but we need an authorized person for an AO3 account. Contact Open Doors for more information!
Resource sites: If you are the owner of a fannish resource site, we recommend a page in Fanlore with a summary of the information and purpose of the site along with screencaps of the entry page and/or other key pages to convey the feeling of the site. We have volunteers who can help you set up a Fanlore page documenting both the content and feel of a GeoCities page. Even non-owners of a resource site can document and memorialize a site on Fanlore. Contact Open Doors for help or for more information!
For either a fic or a resource site, please include the URL of the site you wish to archive/preserve, and an email address. If you are the administrator of a multi-author site, please include email addresses for each hosted author (if possible).
Announcement, Open Doors Fannish Endings
elizabethyalkut commented: This is so tremendously exciting!
fcoppa commented: We'll do our best anyway!
Ender commented: I have been pimping it all over my clex fandom :D coz that's the place where I started my fannish life, and where I still have the most geocities URLs of the web1.0 era saved :D
fcoppa commented: Yes, please do pimp far and wide! And if you see a resource page or something, you can save it yourself!!!
Am commented: Hi, The Savage Garden fandom risks losing the works of one writer (that I know of for certain) and possibly more authors who have not been contactable for years. Would you be willing to archive these works without author permission given the circumstances? The writer I am thinking of was well-known among fans and is widely regarded as one of the best in the fandom. Please let me know! We are very troubled b/c this fandom was small to begin with and has already lost too many fics due to websites and people going MIA. Thanks! Am :)
Arduinna commented: I'm not part of the Rescue project, but one backup option could be to put up a Fanlore page about the site and/or the author, including the current URL and if possible running the URL through the Wayback Machine to get a working Wayback link as well. That way no one is potentially stepping on toes by re-archiving work without permission, but the fandom won't completely lose track of it, either. And the page with the links will be safely in a space that isn't controlled by one person, so the risk of losing them goes way down. You could even put in direct links to particularly notable stories, to keep those stories more in the public eye. :)
fcoppa commented: Unfortunately, we really can't archive works where nobody is contactable, especially when so many others are seeking hosting (or willing to give consent). But I--or someone on the wiki committee--can help you create a page for this writer on Fanlore that a) screencaps parts of the site, b) lists all her works and stories by name, c) has urls to the Wayback machine links to the stories, etc. Please use the Open Doors contact form and give us the Geocities Url, and we'll try to at least do something!
Ender commented: I do not think, that OTW would archive any sites completely without permission. If you are really deemed that work of that site or author to be really worth and important, and the site is still functioning, you could always save all fics to your harddrive, and I think, if you are willing sharing the fics among newbies of your fandom via email, no one could or would object to that practice (unless that author is reappearing, and is objecting, at which point it is up to your conscience, if you go along with the authors wishes, or ignore them).
Greer Watson commented: I've been working on archiving all GeoCities material related to Forever Knight. We've been using the following reasoning. 1. Some sites, though technically (and no doubt legally) owned by an individual, really belong to the entire fandom: for FK, this applies to War sites. Others belong to subgroups within the fandom: for FK, this applies to faction sites. They may not be active, and their owners may long since have departed; but it is appropriate to save them in their entirety. We also archive personal sites, especially those with fan fiction/artwork. Our reasoning is thus: if it is essentially an FK site, then it was made by a fan for other fans, and--to a very real degree--was given by her to the fandom. We are therefore saving the site on behalf of its collective recipient. Would the owner not want us to take good care of her gift? Would she want us to let it be thrown out? However, if there is extensive personal material (as opposed to a "How I joined the fandom" page), then we delink it. It's there if the owner ever wants it; but it's not accessible to anyone else. 2. We do not normally strip sites of material (e.g. saving just the fic pages, or just the art). That's okay if you're doing it for yourself, just on your own computer. But we are reposting to the Web. We feel that it is important to save the owner's original matrix for these works: the graphics and layout are an integral part of the site. If we repackaged things, we would--so to speak--be claiming the right to have input into the presentation. As a general rule, we save the whole site. We *do* edit pages so that they will run properly off GeoCities. Provided we can locate it, we also put back material that has accidentally been dead-linked because of a typo. (Yes, you can often locate stories and screen captures that should--but don't--link to the page, provided they're still stored on the server.) 3. We do not consider the site to have changed ownership: it's still theirs. (And we do try to contact people wherever possible.) We consider that we are just moving it to a different address--one that isn't about to disappear in mid October. We do not feel that we have the luxury of time. Save now--take down later, if requested. Saving later isn't an option.
Alassenya commented: Thank you so much for this - I was dreading losing all the html and file versions of my stories.
fcoppa commented: Just send the Open Doors committee your Geocities Url and we can get the ball rolling!
ophelia commented: There isn't any interest in providing a "home" for fanfics that were wiped out when AOL deleted all its personal web pages last fall, is there? It's a bit too late to "rescue" anything that was hosted on AOL, but that too was once a thriving fanfic hub, and who knows whether authors have found a place to put all their stuff back up or not. There'd be no use in just providing URLs--writers would have to gather everything back together and put it up one story at a time. A bit of a mess--and an argument for dealing with GeoCities *before* everything gets "baleeted"--but I thought I'd ask.
fcoppa commented: I wasn't aware of this, and man--yeah, if we'd known, we might have tried (though the archive was very very new and wobbly last fall: I don't know that we could've handled even the limited additional influx.) I CAN say that we're going to be coming out of Closed Beta into Open Beta pretty soon, whereupon we'll be rapidly expanding our beta accounts just naturally: we just wanted to do this Geocities thing because I'm not sure where the open beta date will fall vis a vis October 26, and we didn't want to risk it! But we can maybe schedule a reach out to dislocated fans--or priority for dislocated fans!--at that time!
Heather Cook commented: I will chat with the rest of the committee, and get back to you with an answer.... In the meantime, have you checked to see if your site made it onto the Wayback Machine (http://www.archive.org/web/web.php) at archive.org?
ophelia commented: I think that nearly everything I had on the site is recoverable in one way or another, it would just take some work.
msilfan commented: I found yet another person who has their whole archive on Geocities, and I'm giving her a link to this page. But it would be great if there was some kind of automation or help with transferring her fics to AO3. Help?
Heather Cook commented: We don't have the capacity to automate the transfer yet, but we can talk archivists through the process.

2011 Cholmondeley Pageant of Power gallery
A selection of pictures from the Goodwood of the North, the 2011 Cholmondeley Pageant of Power
by: Stephen Dobie
The 2011 Cholmondeley Pageant of Power takes place this weekend. Based in Cheshire, it's dubbed the Goodwood of the North.
Much like Goodwood, the event boasts a vast array of performance and racing cars and bikes, classic and modern, while helicopters, aerobatics, military combat displays, powerboats and hovercrafts also appear. If you're similar to us, and like just about anything with an engine, you're in luck.
This year's highlights include the Lotus 18 that Sir Stirling Moss drove to victory in the 1961 Monaco Grand Prix, Jackie Stewart's 1971 Championship winning Tyrrell and the spectacular Lindner Nocker low drag Jaguar E-type fresh from an exhaustive restoration. There's also a collection of mega capacity pre-war specials including the monstrous 47-litre BMW aero-engined Brutus.
Modern elements will include the ice land-speed record Bentley Continental Supersports, the Bentley Speed 8 that won the Le Mans 24 hours in 2003, and a supercar collection including the new BAC Mono, McLaren MP4-12C, Ariel Atom V8, Noble M600 and Jaguar XKR-S.
WRC fans will be well served, with a Martini-liveried Lancia Delta Integrale, a Ford RS200 and Audi Quattro all set to bellow around Cholmondeley's newly built three-quarter-mile tarmac rally stage.
You can see some pictures from the first day of the Pageant below, click to enlarge. And if you're attending, why not share your pictures or reports with the evo Community?

Bodega Bay is one of the most popular birding sites in the Bay Area. The tidal mudflats here are habitat for an excellent variety of godwits, smaller sandpipers, plovers and other species. Shorebirds will be the main focus of the day, but we will also enjoy the great variety of loons, grebes, ducks, raptors and landbirds.

International Conference on Nepal's reconstruction kicks off today
Published Date : 25 June, 2015 12:12 am
Nepal Foreign Affairs (KATHMANDU, June 25) – The government is all set to host an International Conference on Nepal's reconstruction on Wednesday with the theme 'Towards a Resilient Nepal'.
The conference is first of its kind in Nepal which is aimed at raising funds from foreign countries for Nepal's reconstruction so as to bring back the dwindling economy on the track which was badly hit by the devastating earthquake on April 25 and ensuing aftershocks.
Prime Minister Sushil Koirala will inaugurate the conferences on Thursday 8 am at Hotel Soaltee.
Altogether 260 representatives from 60 countries, senior officials from Nepal's development partners, multilateral financial institutions and UN agencies arrived in Kathmandu to attend the conference. Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi landed in Kathmandu on Wednesday. Nepal government had extended invitation to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese Premier Le Keqiang to attend the international conference as special guests. But the prime ministers from China and India skipped the conference citing their hectic schedule at homes. The foreign ministers of India, China and Norway, Finance Minister of Bangladesh, and State Foreign Minister from Japan paid courtesy calls on Prime Minister Koirala in Kathmandu.
PM Koirala had informed the ministers and sought their support for the reconstructions and rebuilding Nepal. Finance Minister Ram Sharan Mahat said donors, development agencies and other friendly countries will pledge their support and hint areas of cooperation which they would support in future during conference.
A Post-Disaster Needs Assessment prepared by the National Planning Commission estimated that Nepal needs Rs.669 billion to recover the earthquake-shattered Nepal. The second session of the conference is allocated for pledging for reconstruction by the donors.
Subsequently, the two technical sessions will kick start, in which, the donors and multilateral institutions will make paper presentations on different areas. These papers will be focused on knowledge sharing on urban development, rural development, disaster response and rescue efforts, among others.
The foreign ministers of India, China and Norway, the finance ministers of Bhutan and Bangladesh, the Disaster Management Minister of Sri Lanka and Japan's state minister for Foreign Affairs are set to attend the donors' meet.

One of my yoga teachers noted when I was just starting out my practice, "If you just show up, you are doing the practice."
This reminds me of my teen and college days when I felt strongly compelled by both marathons and Homer's Odyssey. In case you're wondering, both are about very long journeys. For the marathon, this includes the months of training prior to the actual race.
It's become cliche, but the journey is as important, if not more so at times, than the destination. The journey often is long , so it's useful and fulfilling to be present when you are in the midst of it. It's that continued presence that can also make the destination fulfilling too. Though the destination is but a fleeting moment, it's no less deserving of present, mindful attention than the longer, preceding journey.

Council reports unsafe scaffold work
Home » Blog » Council reports unsafe scaffold work
Council officers alerted the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to poor scaffolding in London, a court has heard.
Members of Ealing Council made the call after observing very unsafe practices while workers erected scaffolding for the refurbishment of a building into a hotel in November 2013.
Chart Forte Court (West Ealing) Limited, the property developer in charge of the project, and LS Scaffolders, the company it contracted to put up the scaffolding, have both been fined for safety breaches.
Risk of falls
Concerns were raised regarding the stability of the partially completed structure.
Ealing Council Building Control was asked by the HSE to inspect the scaffold and duly served a Dangerous Structure Notice on Chart Forte Court (as owner of the site) requiring them to make safe or take down the scaffold by 18 December 2013.
Before the scaffold could be taken down, the two companies involved were required to satisfy the HSE that this could be completed with a safe system of work in place. But LS Scaffolding proceeded to take the scaffold down anyway over the weekend of 15 December 2013.
It was being dismantled so unsafely that members of the public asked the police to intervene.
Another prohibition was served when HSE visited the site the next day, as workers were still at risk of falls from height.
Chart Forte Court (West Ealing) Limited of Ashtons Road, Northwood, pleaded guilty to Regulation 22(1)(a) of the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2007. It was fined £18,000 with costs of £932 and a victim surcharge of £120.
LS Scaffolding Limited of Vicarage Farm Road, Hounslow, was fined £18,000 with costs of £964 and a victim surcharge of £120 after it admitted breaching Regulation 4(1) of the Work at Height Regulations 2005.

Japanese earthquake and tsunami may cause domestic delays of Prius V minivan
The 9.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan on March 11th caused a great deal of damage, complicated by the ensuing tsunami, aftershocks and nuclear power risks and because of the impact to the Japanese supply chain, Toyota may be forced to delay the Japanese launch of their new Prius V minivan.
After making its grand debut at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show in January, the new Toyota Prius V promised similar fuel economy to the top selling Prius Hybrid hatchback, with the newest addition to the Prius family set to make its production debut in Japan during April of 2011. Unfortunately, with Toyota's production facilities all over Japan closed until at least this weekend and dealerships around the country damaged by the chain of natural disasters, it looks like the Prius minivan will not be arriving on schedule for Japanese consumers.
The specific cause for the delay to the new Toyota Prius V minivan is due to a break in the supply chain caused by the earthquake, the aftershocks, the tsunami and power outages stemming from the looming nuclear risk. While Toyota (and most other Japanese automakers) did not sustain any major damage at their production facilities, the automaker relies on smaller companies around the country that have been forced to cease production as they dig out. This stoppage among tiered suppliers has caused not just a concern of parts shortages for Japanese automakers but American companies as well, with GM stopping production at one plant and changing a production schedule at another plant.
The key problem for Toyota may prove to be the damage to the company's Primearth EV Energy plant, which is responsible for around 300,000 vehicles-worth of nickel-metal hydride battery packs each year and depending on the downtime of the Primearth plant, Toyota's hybrid production could be hit by nearly 27%. The company has two other plants in Japan that produce batteries but with an estimated loss of 27% from the Primearth's 300,000 per year production, Toyota could find themselves in the hole by roughly 81,000 battery packs.
This deficiency in hybrid battery packs could hurt Toyota's world-leading hybrid sales and as the company assess the ability to acquire parts from suppliers to meet production deadlines, it looks as though the Japanese-bound Prius V minivans are the first vehicle to be directly impacted. The good news for Toyota is that the company does not expect the string of disasters to impact European or American Prius V launch dates but with individuals in the industry surmising that it could take months for the Japanese automotive infrastructure to bounce back, Toyota (and the rest of the Japanese automakers) could face more problems over the next few months.

It's no secret that the sale of physical media has declined. CD sales have dropped 18.5 percent last year, prompting massive entertainment retail chain, Best Buy, to pull CD's from its store shelves on July 1, 2018. And DVDs aren't doing too hot either, with the sale of DVDs falling to 14 percent last year. It should come as no surprise, as streaming has become the method of choice for most people to consume their media, and it seems the popularity of streaming – or, more specifically, digitally downloading – is starting to impact physical video game media in a very real, very negative way. According to a new report by Piper Jaffray Companies, video game distribution will be 100 percent digital by 2022.
This all comes hot off the heels of GameStop's recent financial woes. The retail chain, at the beginning of June 2018, published its financial report for the first quarter of the fiscal 2018 year. In the financial report, which we covered, it was disclosed that "total global sales were down by 5.5 percent, amounting to $1.93 billion, [and] store sales were down 2.6 percent in the US and 11.6 percent internationally." In the same month, it was also revealed that GameStop was looking for buyouts, as the company's stock dropped more than 32 percent last year.

Q: How can I listen for 'usb device inserted' events in Linux, in Python? I'd like to write a Python script for Amarok in Linux to automatically copy the stackoverflow podcast to my player. When I plug in the player, it would mount the drive, copy any pending podcasts, and eject the player. How can I listen for the "plugged in" event? I have looked through hald but couldn't find a good example.

A: Here is a solution in 5 lines.
import pyudev

context = pyudev.Context()
monitor = pyudev.Monitor.from_netlink(context)
monitor.filter_by(subsystem='usb')

for device in iter(monitor.poll, None):
    if device.action == 'add':
        print('{} connected'.format(device))
        # do something very interesting here.

Save this to a file say usb_monitor.py, run python monitor.py. Plug any usb and it will print device details
→ python usb_monitor.py
Device('/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-6/1-6:1.0') connected
Device('/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0') connected

Tested on Python 3.5 with pyudev==0.21.0.

A: I haven't tried writing such a program myself, however I've just looked at the following two links (thanks Google!), which I think will be of help:

*

*dbus-python tutorial (which talks about how to use Python to access D-Bus)

*HAL 0.5.10 Specification (which talks about how HAL publishes events to D-Bus)

In particular, read about the org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager interface, and its DeviceAdded and DeviceRemoved events. :-)
Hope this helps!

A: Update: As said in comments, Hal is not supported in recent distributions, the standard now is udev, Here is a small example that makes use of glib loop and udev, I keep the Hal version for historical reasons.
This is basically the example in the pyudev documentation, adapted to work with older versions, and with the glib loop, notice that the filter should be customized for your specific needing:
import glib

from pyudev import Context, Monitor

try:
    from pyudev.glib import MonitorObserver

    def device_event(observer, device):
        print 'event {0} on device {1}'.format(device.action, device)
except:
    from pyudev.glib import GUDevMonitorObserver as MonitorObserver

    def device_event(observer, action, device):
        print 'event {0} on device {1}'.format(action, device)

context = Context()
monitor = Monitor.from_netlink(context)

monitor.filter_by(subsystem='usb')
observer = MonitorObserver(monitor)

observer.connect('device-event', device_event)
monitor.start()

glib.MainLoop().run()

Old version with Hal and d-bus:
You can use D-Bus bindings and listen to DeviceAdded and DeviceRemoved signals.
You will have to check the capabilities of the Added device in order to select the storage devices only.
Here is a small example, you can remove the comments and try it.
import dbus
import gobject

class DeviceAddedListener:
    def __init__(self):

You need to connect to Hal Manager using the System Bus.
        self.bus = dbus.SystemBus()
        self.hal_manager_obj = self.bus.get_object(
                                              "org.freedesktop.Hal",
                                              "/org/freedesktop/Hal/Manager")
        self.hal_manager = dbus.Interface(self.hal_manager_obj,
                                          "org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager")

And you need to connect a listener to the signals you are interested on, in this case DeviceAdded.
        self.hal_manager.connect_to_signal("DeviceAdded", self._filter)

I'm using a filter based on capabilities. It will accept any volume and will call do_something with if, you can read Hal documentation to find the more suitable queries for your needs, or more information about the properties of the Hal devices.
    def _filter(self, udi):
        device_obj = self.bus.get_object ("org.freedesktop.Hal", udi)
        device = dbus.Interface(device_obj, "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device")

        if device.QueryCapability("volume"):
            return self.do_something(device)

Example function that shows some information about the volume:
     def do_something(self, volume):
        device_file = volume.GetProperty("block.device")
        label = volume.GetProperty("volume.label")
        fstype = volume.GetProperty("volume.fstype")
        mounted = volume.GetProperty("volume.is_mounted")
        mount_point = volume.GetProperty("volume.mount_point")
        try:
            size = volume.GetProperty("volume.size")
        except:
            size = 0

        print "New storage device detectec:"
        print "  device_file: %s" % device_file
        print "  label: %s" % label
        print "  fstype: %s" % fstype
        if mounted:
            print "  mount_point: %s" % mount_point
        else:
            print "  not mounted"
        print "  size: %s (%.2fGB)" % (size, float(size) / 1024**3)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop
    DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)
    loop = gobject.MainLoop()
    DeviceAddedListener()
    loop.run()

A: I think D-Bus would work as Chris mentioned, but if you're using KDE4, you might use the Solid framework in a manner similar to the KDE4 "New Device Notifier" applet.
The C++ source for that applet is here, which shows how to use Solid to detect new devices.  Use PyKDE4 for Python bindings to these libraries, as shown here.

The first federal "bellwether" trial for a Taxotere hair loss lawsuit is expected to begin in September 2018, and the U.S. District Judge presiding over the litigation indicates that at least four additional cases will go to trial throughout 2019.
There are currently more than 1,600 product liability complaints pending against Sanofi-Aventis, each raising similar allegations that the drug maker failed to adequately warn about the risk of permanent hair loss linked to side effects of Taxotere, which has not been associated with other, equally effective breast cancer treatment options.
Given similar questions of fact and law presented by plaintiffs, the cases are currently centralized before U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt in the Eastern District of Louisiana, as part of a federal Multidistrict Litigation, or MDL, which is designed to reduce duplicative discovery into common issues, avoid conflicting pretrial rulings from different courts and to serve the convenience of the parties, witnesses and the judicial system.
As part of the coordinated proceedings in the Taxotere MDL, Judge Engelhardt has established a "bellwether" process, which will prepare small groups of cases for early trial dates. This process is designed to help gauge how juries may respond to certain evidence and testimony that may be repeated throughout the litigation.
In July, Judge Engelhardt identified ten potential cases for the first bellwether trial date, which is scheduled to begin on September 24, 2018. However, the parties have been directed to meet for a Taxotere settlement conference next summer, to discuss potential resolutions for the litigation.
If the Taxotere cases are not settled or otherwise resolved following the first trial, Judge Engelhardt has set a series of four additional jury trials throughout 2019, with cases set to begin on January 28, April 8, July 15, and November 4 of 2019.
In a case management order (PDF), the pretrial schedule for the second bellwether case was outlined, indicating that the parties will each select four cases as options for the second trial. Those eight proposed cases will go through a phased discovery process, which will conclude in June 2018. The list will then be narrowed to four trial plaintiffs, which will go through a second phase of discovery, which will be completed by August 2018. Following expert discovery and motions, the parties will meet for a final pre-trial conference on January 17, with the trial commencing the week of January 28.
Future orders will be issued regarding the pretrial schedule for the remaining three cases.

BTS & BLACKPINK take up top 10 spots on Billboard's newly announced 'Global 200' & 'Global Excluding U.S.' charts
On September 14, Billboard announced the launch of two new global music charts, representative of chart data from over 200 territories around the world!
The first is the official Billboard 'Global 200' chart, taking into account streams, downloads, and purchases of all regions across the globe including the United States. The second chart, the Billboard 'Global Excluding U.S.' chart, takes into account chart data from all regions except from the United States, as the name suggests.
Shortly after announcing the inauguration of these two new official charts, Billboard also launched this week's rankings of both the 'Global 200' and the 'Global Excl. U.S.' charts. On the 'Global 200' chart, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's "WAP" took up the #1 spot followed by BTS's "Dynamite" at #2, 24kGoldn's "Mood" at #3, Maluma's "Hawái" at #4, as well as BLACKPINK and Selena Gomez's "Ice Cream" at #8.
The 'Global Excl. U.S.' chart contained many of the same artists in the top 10 'Global 200' chart, in different ranking order. The #1 spot went to Maluma's "Hawái", while BTS's "Dynamite" maintained #2. "WAP" followed in 3rd place, and "Mood" also remained in 4th for this particular chart. BLACKPINK and Selena Gomez's "Ice Cream" also came in at 6th on this chart.

When putting your property on the market, first impressions count, so we've compiled these handy home staging tips to help you create the irresistible look that home buyers love.
Give your home an honest assessment. Work your way through from front to back, inside and out, jotting down tasks as you go.
Once you have a to-do list, break the chores into manageable chunks: some tasks can be crossed off the list easily, while others may need a weekend of hard work.
Factor in more time than you think you need to make improvements – a few days of wet weather can create havoc with your schedule.
Potential buyers may drive by your property prior to the first open day so make sure it presents well. Remove any rubbish, put the bins away and sweep the paths.
Hire or borrow a high-pressure hose to clean the exterior. Years of grime will be washed away in a matter of hours, leaving your house gleaming.
Every professional stylist will recommend you de-clutter. Sell or donate excess furniture, pack away clothes and toys, and clear bench tops of small appliances.
Prospective buyers will look inside wardrobes and cupboards so keep them neat and tidy. If required, store household goods at an offsite storage facility.
Clean all rooms thoroughly including floors, walls and windows, before every open house inspection. Don't forget to dust!
Potential buyers like to imagine living in the house they're inspecting, so it's important to create a neutral environment. Remove family photographs, children's artwork and personal items such as diaries and calendars.
Work with home staging professionals to give your property a stylish edge and ensure it presents beautifully for the photographs used in marketing materials.
Add a touch of indulgence with soft, fluffy towels in the bathroom and crisp linen on the beds.
Contemporary furnishings such as rugs, cushions and pot plants will brighten up living areas and create a sense of style.
On inspection days, draw curtains and blinds back to let in natural daylight.
Open up windows and doors where they showcase outdoor living space. This has the added benefit of airing your home of any odours.
Tempting as it may be to stay home on inspection days, don't. Go for a long walk or meet a friend for coffee. Prospective buyers don't want to feel watched by the homeowner. Leave it to the real estate team to manage.
Preparing your home for sale doesn't have to be an expensive exercise, but remember your property will have plenty of competition, so do everything you can to convince buyers that yours is the home they simply must have. By following these tips, home staging in Auckland couldn't be easier!
Contact Venus and her team at Showhome Presentations today for a simple home staging solution to preparing your home or rental property for sale.

Unemployment Rate Unemployment Rate the percent of the total labor force without a job.
Demand demand a schedule of the amounts that buyers would be willing to purchase at a corresponding schedule of prices, in a given market at a given time.
Elastic Elastic a situation in which a cut in price increases the quantity taken in the market enough that total revenue is increased.
Inelastic inelastic a situation in which a cut in price yields such a small increase in quantity taken by the market that total revenue decreases.

February 26, 2018 ambalg Information
APS : Sunday, 25 February 2018
NEW YORK-Representing the People's National Assembly (Lower House) at the Parliamentary Hearing on the Compact for migration held at the United Nations,
MP Seddik Chihab on Friday advocated a global and united vision on migration-related issues.
Speaking on the second day of this Parliamentary Hearing designed to enlighten UN negotiations on this Compact, Chihab stressed that Algeria "has always advocated a comprehensive, integrated and concerted approach on migration-related issues."
This approach should be "balanced" and should take into consideration "the security aspect, the issues related to migrants' human rights and the root causes of irregular migration," said the MP.
Moreover, these aspects should take into account "the intrinsic link between migration and development" and the need to invest in job-generating projects likely to ease the migration pressure," recommended Chihab at a panel held on the sidelines of the Parliamentary Hearing on migrants' social cohesion and integration.
The Algerian MP stressed the need to back the efforts of regional organizations, notably the African Union (AU), and encourage investments oriented towards the promotion of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In this connection, he stated that partnerships were "inescapable to address the migration issue" and should integrate the interests and concerns of the countries of origin, transit and destination in a balanced way.
"Hence, Algeria recommends dealing with the root causes of political instability, armed conflicts and their link with transnational crime and extreme poverty," stated Chihab.
As regards the migration issue in Algeria, Chihab said that Algeria, originally a country of origin, had become a country of transit and destination.
"Today, Algeria is faced with unprecedented migration fluxes from sub-Saharan countries. In fact, this massive afflux is favoured by the geostrategic position of Algeria, the employment and stability opportunities it offers as well as the recent political crisis in Libya, the Sahel region and Syria."
Algeria bears "the burden of thousands of Sub-Saharan migrants and displaced on its territory who receive a treatment in accordance with the traditions of hospitality dear to the Algerian people," stressed Chihab.
Facing these fluxes, "Algeria has adopted a position of openness and tolerance in accordance with these traditions of hospitality as it received dozens of thousands of irregular migrants, notably people from sub-Saharan regions."
Algeria also received more than 40,000 Syrian nationals who have benefited since 2012 from special measures providing them with facilities in terms of stay, schooling, medical care and work, recalled Chihab.
"This human and generous approach has not failed to be tendentiously exploited by parties hostile to Algeria," recalling the repatriation of African nationals to Niger in early December 2016, which "gave rise to malicious comments aimed at discrediting the traditional hospitality of the Algerian people."
"In fact, Algeria has always shared the concerns of neighbouring and friendly countries facing crises and continues, despite an unfavourable situation, to make considerable efforts to improve of the situation of sub-Saharan migrants," said Chihab.
The country "is today a major player at the international and regional levels, and a key partner of the European Union (EU) in the field of migration," he noted.
At the international level, Algeria actively participates in all the discussions on migration and refugees while, at the African level, it works to mobilize further efforts and resources for genuine solutions to the root causes of irregular migration such as political conflicts, underdevelopment and unemployment, he continued.
Besides, Algeria has significantly strengthened its cooperation with the countries of the South and the main neighbouring countries from which migrants come, namely Niger and Mali, notably through joint committees and bilateral border committees, which represent a privileged framework to discuss issues related to the security and development of border areas.

Mob lynching has become an epidemic in India: Swara Bhasker
Published Jul 25, 2019, 10:52 am IST
Updated Jul 25, 2019, 11:00 am IST
The 'Nil Battey Sannata' actor also said a strong law is the need of the hour.
Swara Bhasker.
New Delhi: Actor Swara Bhasker, known for speaking her mind on various socio-political issues, said it's hard to "turn our face away from the harsh reality" of increasing cases of mob lynching in the country.
Praising the efforts of 49 celebrities who have written an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing their concern over mob lynching she said a strong law is needed to deal with the issue. "Mob lynching has become an epidemic in the country today and I don't think that we can turn our face away from this harsh reality. There's no point in falsifying it," said Swara while addressing the press here.
She lauded the filmmakers, writers and singers who have come together to draw the Prime Minister's attention to the "tragic events" happening in the country. "I believe that it is very commendable that artists, filmmakers, writers in our country are engaged and affected with whatever is happening in the society," Swara said.
The 'Nil Battey Sannata' actor also said a strong law is the need of the hour. "I have been trying to talk on the issue of mob lynching for the past 3-4 years and even asked for a Manav Suraksha Kanoon. But it's sad that things have got worse rather than improving."
Continuing with her concerns, Swara said, "It is very important that district authorities, where such incidents happen, take full accountability in the matter. I believe that the PM who has the power to do it will look into the matter."
Replying to a journalist's query on the political inclinations of those associated with the letter, the 31-year-old said, "So what if they are inclined. It is not bad. We live in a democracy where every ideology is welcome." "Mob lynching is wrong and if anyone is voicing their concern on the matter, their ideology or inclination shouldn't matter. I wholeheartedly support the artistes, filmmakers, people who have written this letter," she said affirming her support.

France's 'wolf brigade': Alps guards with licence to kill
Breil-sur-Roya: As the sun sets over the southern French Alps on a cool evening in early June, a flock of sheep huddle in an enclosure at an altitude of 1,500 metres.
Next to them, two khaki-clad watchmen settle down for the night in the Mercantour National Park on the border with Italy, equipped with thermal-vision cameras, warm jackets and a rifle with a night-vision scope.
"What's going to be important for the next few hours is to be attentive all the time. For a wolf to cross (the pass) takes two or three seconds. If we aren't watching, it's over," one of the guards said.
The pair are part of France's "wolf brigade", employed by the state to protect livestock from a predator that was hunted to extinction in France in the early 20th century but is now making a grand comeback.
Starting in 1992, grey wolves started re-appearing in France, arriving across the Alps from Italy, which has rejected calls for a cull of its flourishing population of the fanged mammals.
Seventeen years after their return, the population in France is growing fast, rising from an estimated 360 last year to 530, according to the national hunting and wildlife agency (ONCFS), which uses information gathered by 4,000 observers nationwide.
While their numbers are only a fraction of those found in Italy, Spain Romania or Poland, the predators have raised the hackles of farmers, with some 3,674 wolf attacks reported in 2018 alone, mainly on sheep.
Faced with the outcry from sheep farmers, the government has announced plans to nearly double the annual cull quota, from 53 this year to around 100 next year.
"We now consider that the wolf is no longer a species at risk of extinction," Agriculture Minister Didier Guillaume said last week, adding that the government's priority was now to protect farmers' livelihoods.
'At the end of their tether'
The killing of wolves is outlawed across most of the EU, with culls allowed only under strict conditions where there is no "satisfactory alternative".
France has since 2004 authorised the killing of small numbers of wolves but the predator remains a threatened species.
The wolf brigade was scrambled to the Mercantour Park earlier this month after three recent attacks on sheep grazing in the park in broad daylight.
Created in 2015, the 11-strong team employs youths with hunting skills and knowledge of wildlife management, who intervene in places where traditional anti-wolf measures, such as dogs, fencing off areas and additional shepherding, have failed.
The brigade also trains volunteer "wolf catchers" with hunting licences.
Most of the brigade's work is in mountain pastures, the areas most affected by wolf attacks that cost the state millions of euros each year in compensation.
Their presence in an area allows shepherds to "breathe a little", said one of the guards, who did not wish to be identified for fear of being targeted by animal rights activists.
"In some places, they're at the end of their tether," he told AFP, referring to the farmers.
But animal protection groups too are up in arms.
The activists have criticised the rising cull targets and urged the government to experiment with new ways to protect livestock, such as frightening the wolves or only lightly injuring them, instead of killing them outright.
The ONCFS is studying the effects of the cull, to measure whether it is reducing the number of attacks or scattering packs of the predators.
But Michael Viale, a farmer whose flock has been repeatedly targeted, believes there can be no cohabiting with the "terrorists of the mountains".
"My sheep used to sleep soundly — and so did I. We didn't have to coop them up at night. I didn't need a shepherd or dogs or this brigade", he said.
The wolf brigade "understands our pain", Viale said.
But high demand for the guards means they cannot stay keeping watch over his flock all night.
Plus, the wolf is wily. After a week, the brigade left the Mercantour, with no reported sighting.

Case Keenum was shocked by trade for Joe Flacco – (News)
Many people were surprised by Denver's decision to trade for quarterback Joe Flacco. None were more surprised than quarterback Case Keenum.
Via the Denver Post, Keenum explained on The Sports Spectrum podcast that he was shocked by the news.
"[G.M. John] Elway called me that morning and we had a great conversation, which he didn't have to do — I appreciated that," Keenum said on the podcast, with his wife next to him. "It was definitely a shock. It was a surprise for us. . . . For us, we're definitely disappointed. It's not something we wanted to happen. I know everybody is doing their job and John feels like it was a chance to help the Broncos out."
It means that Keenum will be out of Denver, but it's still not clear where he's going to go.
"It's really open-ended right now," Keenum said. "We don't know what's going to happen. This is still very fresh. A lot of these emotions we're talking about are still going on and still happening. Who knows what's going to be in store? I don't, for sure."
However it plays out, Keenum will make at least $7 million this year. Which means that, if Keenum is released, a new team could sign Keenum for at or near the six-figure league minimum, putting the Broncos on the hook for the rest.
That dynamic makes a trade even less likely, unless the trade includes the Broncos eating the amount that the new team would save by signing Keenum for the minimum.
It's still not clear who will want Keenum. He has shown flashed of high-level ability in stints with the Texans, Rams, and Vikings, taking the 2017 Minnesota team to the final four.
However it plays out, it's a stunning decline for Keenum, who signed a two-year, $36 million deal with the Broncos last year as a free agent.

Q: Routing traffic to another internal network OK, so here is the scenario. I have 4 Locations connected with an MPLS. I have installed an ASA at the primary location which is 10.20.1.0. Traffic is fine internally and to the world, however... I can't route traffic over the MPLS to another network. It is being blocked by an implicit deny rule even though there is a rule to allow any to any less secure interface (it should be using the same interface in/out, right?). I have a static route for the network in and the ASA can ping it - Just not traffic on the internal network of the ASA.
-Jason

A: Since you mentioned using the same interface for in an out, you may want to check out this command:
same-security-traffic permit intra-interface

Here is the config info related to same-security-traffic:
inter-interface  Permit communication between different interfaces with the
                 same security level
intra-interface  Permit communication between peers connected to the same
                 interface

Sorry, but I don't know where the equivalent option is in ASDM.

A: If we could see the configuration this would be a lot easier to diagnose.
Also could you post some of your debug output. As verbose as possible. I would like to see what the ASA thinks the inbound and outbound interfaces are for traffic going to those remote locations that don't work. Also a debug output of the pings that do work.

Home / International Customs / Ireland / Gov't simplifies procedures for EU-bound goods
Gov't simplifies procedures for EU-bound goods
Reported by: `CT Report December 24, 2019
THE GOVERNMENT has moved to simplify procedures for Philippine exporters to the European Union (EU), as the Bureau of Customs (BoC) released guidelines for self-certification of origin in order to avail of lower tariffs under the EU's Generalized System of Preferences (GSP).
In Customs Memorandum Order No. 50-2019, the BoC said the guidelines would simplify export processes by allowing exporters to certify "preferential origin" — enabling them to avail of lower tariffs — through a Statement of Origin.
The Philippines is one of only eight countries with GSP+ status (the others being Armenia, Bolivia, Cape Verde, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka), under which it enjoys zero duties on more than 6,000 products exported to the EU.
Products from countries that enjoy this status qualify for preferential tariffs with certification that the products come from those countries.
The transition period to this Registered Exporter (REX) system replaces the previous method, whereby BoC issues certifications for high-value exporters. Low-value exporters submit invoice declarations.
Philexport President Sergio R. Ortiz-Luis, Jr. said in a telephone interview on Monday that this system would reduce red tape and expenses, but will not have a significant impact on export volumes. "It's good because it cuts red tape, but it's not something that will increase exports dramatically," Mr. Ortiz-Luis said.
Trade Secretary Ramon M. Lopez said that the new guidelines will improve the process of selling goods to the EU. "That will facilitate the utilization of the EU GSP+ and make it easier for exporters to go through the process of exporting," Mr. Lopez said in a mobile phone message.
Under the guidelines, the BoC's Export Division assesses electronic applications submitted by exporters. Exporters complete a statement of origin stating their registered exporter number, and confirming their Philippine preferential origin under the GSP.
The registered exporter is expected to maintain an account of its production of goods qualifying for preferential treatment; keep customs documents, evidence of manufacturing materials used and a copy of the statement of origin; cooperate with BoC in its verification procedures; and notify the BoC and its buyer if there is incorrect information in the statement.
The BoC will assess exporters' documents and inspect their business premises.
Verification can be conducted under reasonable doubt of the authenticity of the statement or at random.
The BoC can revoke registration if the exporter no longer exists, no longer meets GSP conditions, withdraws from exporting under the GSP scheme, fails to keep up-to-date information, or provides incorrect information that enables them to wrongfully obtain preferential tariffs.

COVID-19: Educators Want More Federal Dollars for Public Schools
The CARES Act provided $13.5 billion to the nation's public education system, but educators say a larger installment for public school systems is needed. (Lihuihuiycg/Pixabay)
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - School teachers in New Mexico are calling on the federal government to step up funding for state and local governments due to the coronavirus pandemic, noting that budget shortfalls could force layoffs of teachers and other essential school workers.
Stephanie Ly, president of the American Federation of Teachers in New Mexico, says now it's nurses, but come fall, it will be teachers on the front lines of the pandemic.
She says harm to school districts because of the economic downturn caused by COVID-19 can be alleviated by increased federal funding.
"New Mexico cannot handle an economic aftermath of this coronavirus alone," she states. "We need the federal government to come in and give us assistance to ensure that the entire state of New Mexico is OK."
Ly notes it isn't only teachers, but also custodians, food service workers and support personnel who make sure schools operate day-to-day and contribute to New Mexico's economy.
State lawmakers are expected to convene a special session to address the economic fallout of the health crisis and consider whether funding cuts will be necessary to balance the budget.
New Mexico's public education system often ranks 50th in the nation, but cash-strapped schools have seen relief in the past two years.
State lawmakers provided a salary increase for teachers and school administrators, and created a new early education department.
Ly says public education goals could be set back if state budget projections drop significantly, as is currently expected.
"But if we had to get a cut -- say a 20% cut to our state revenue, which funds most of our schools -- it would be devastating," she states.
Because 80% of New Mexico is rural and high-poverty, significant funds were spent to allow students to continue their education through distance-learning during the pandemic, by creating Internet hot spots and purchasing electronic notebooks.
