Tindall: Ireland won't win World Cup playing with such a strict structure
World wary: Mike Tindall
Des Berry
Former England captain Mike Tindall doesn't see how Ireland can win the 2019 Rugby World Cup, as currently constituted.
He isn't even open to changing his mind if Ireland can topple New Zealand at the Aviva on Saturday (KO 7.0, RTÉ 2).
"It won't change my mind on where they are now," he said, on the Guinness-sponsored House of Rugby.
"I don't think they can win the World Cup playing the way they play at the moment."
In fairness, the reasons behind Tindall's opinion are valid enough and shared by many on this side of the Irish sea.
"What they are getting done is getting wins," he said.
"What I would add is that under Schmidt they have developed so much.
"I am not saying in a year they can't develop," he said.
The 2003 World Cup winner is open to being convinced by seeing Ireland expand their game.
The grinding style used by Joe Schmidt is too narrow, too restricted to work over the course of the World Cup.
"I think they did around 400 passes (it was 240) at the weekend.
"How many of them were to a forward, two men either side of him, and they run into a brick wall?
"Why did Argentina have a lot of success? Because they stopped them on the gain line.
"Now, Argentina made nine (6 actually)line-breaks to their one, or something like that.
"I'm not saying Ireland can't develop that," he stated.
"At the moment, they are relying heavily on their forwards to do that job, who are doing an amazing job.
"I would probably say they are the form pack in the world.
"I just think they need to add a few more strings.
"You can see when you watch Ireland play, they have a very strict structure that they play to."
The omission of Ireland's first choice scrum-half this month has removed the box-kicking brilliance that is usually a major part of their strategy.
"One of the reasons they got into trouble on the weekend (against Argentina)is that they didn't have Conor Murray.
"Their exits weren't quite as good for going up for high ball, which is normally their strength.
"They had enough control with 65-70 per cent of possession and territory.
"There is just that question mark. Now, I hope to be proved wrong. They just need a little bit more."
No doubt, the Irish will have to be sharper to cut down space and time and show more bite in the tackle to prevent the All Blacks from streaming beyond the gain line.
For example, New Zealand could barely escape their own half for 35 minutes in Twickenham.
Once they earned a scrum inside the 22, Ryan Crotty shot forward and Damian McKenzie took Beauden Barrett's inside ball sliding to the house.
"If New Zealand get nine line-breaks against them, they will convert most of them because that's what they do," Tindall noted.
This was not just a bashing exercise of Ireland by the former centre, stressing how his strong opinion is based on what he is seeing now, not what he will see in Japan.
"Again, it showed how good Ireland are. They all came off the field saying they didn't play well. And they won.
"That's, ultimately, what I have to bow down to. They win test matches," he admitted.
"Just because I don't like the style that they play doesn't mean they're not getting the job done.
"That's what they did at Soldier Field and that's what they will try and do this Saturday.
"A massive thing for them is they're comfortable winning big games.
"They have a big game mentality where they can raise their game 20 pre cent.
"They have that ability to step their game up and, I'd imagine, they will this weekend."
"Can they win? Yes, they can. I just think New Zealand will be too clinical for them."


He said that the bill, when passed into law, would hand out death penalty to anyone found guilty of involvement in cultism and life imprisonment to anyone who accommodate or associate with cultists.
Fayose also announced a reward of N1 million for anyone who offers incontrovertible evidence on a student cultist.
Fayose declared this while interacting with the Ekiti chapter of All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN), an umbrella body for all farmers in the state.
Speaking at the interactive meeting held at the government office, Ado-Ekiti, state capital, Ademola Okeya, State chairman of the union, said: "Fayose was the first governor to recognise and support farmers during his first term in 2005 and 2006.
"We have all now come together under one umbrella. We call on government to help us complete our Farmers House, give us a bus for movement, especially support for our members attending the forthcoming Abuja meeting.
Advising the farmers to remain be united, deputy governor Olusola Kolapo said it is unity that would make all of them enjoy the benefits from government.
"The state government recently gave revolving loan of N10m for procuring cocoa chemicals. Some of you didn't get it because you were not united. Now that you have now united as AFAN, you will all benefit from what the government will give.
"We need farm settlements, which would enable farmers to do their work properly. Moving agriculture project forward would not be by fire brigade approach. It needs proper planning and agriculture business is thriving in the north because land clearing over there is much easier and very cheaper compared what obtains here.
"There is also the challenge of paucity of funds. We are planning and laying a solid foundation for agriculture, we just procured four new tractors, and we have 12 serviceable tractors already available making them 16. We have already started work on provision of hybrid seedlings and very soon it will be ready.


Photography: Polaroid, Black & White, Manipulated, Found Objects on Paper.
I found this hammer ins an old bike shop. I was truck by the primitive construction and simplicity of it. At the time I was using a 4x5 camera and experimenting with Polaroid film. This type of film produced a negative as well as a print. the print had to be coated to prevent it from fading. By leaving the print uncoated for several weeks I was able to stop the fading at the point where I liked the colour and tone.
This is a one of a kind photograph.

Santa Barbara Looks to End Losing Streak Against Aggies
May 18, 2007 at 3:59 am by Staff
Stuck in the midst of a four-game losing streak, the UCSB baseball team travels to Davis this weekend for a matchup with a future Big West foe.
After getting swept over the weekend and losing a midweek game at USC (26-23 overall, 7-9 in the Pac-10), the Gauchos (21-26 overall, 9-9 Big West) will try to stop the slide against a UC Davis (21-28) team that has struggled against Big West teams this season.
Three players with lengthy hitting streaks lead the Gaucho offensive attack. Junior center fielder Chris Fox has gotten a hit in 19 straight games, followed by senior first baseman Robbie Blauer and junior third baseman Patrick Rose, who's streaks lie at 16 and 14 games respectively. Blauer leads the team with a .398 average on the season, while Fox has upped his average to .333. Rose has solidified a spot as the teams number two hitter with a .307 average and 25 runs scored in 35 starts. The trio has excelled at the top of the order in part because of the protection that junior transfer Mike Zuanich has provided in the cleanup spot. Zuanich is hitting .311 on the year with five home runs and 35 RBI.
Sophomore Chris McMurray and senior Matt Anderson have solidified the catcher's spot, combining for three home runs and 30 runs driven in, while catching 31 of 47 attempted base stealers. Shortstop Shane Carlson has been a big contributor as of late, hitting .485 in his last 10 games to raise his batting average to a season-high .250.
While the bullpen struggled last week, senior right-handers Justin Segal and Steve Morlock will still be the go-to guys at the end of games. Segal and Morlock are second and third on the team in ERA, to go with a combined 10 saves this season.

California Burgers - one of very few burger joints that open till late in Chapel St, Windsor area. As ex-souvlaki shop owner, they still keep the opening hours till late. Started as a secret menu in their souvlaki shop, now they make it into the main thing.
What we had: L.A.X Burger - named after the LA airport, this burger has similar concept from In-N-Out's double patty burger, this burger contains 2 fresh beef patties, 2 American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and pink mayo. If u ask me what is this pink mayo - well even the wife of the chef did not even know this since it's a secret recipe. The taste is just yum! The burger was prepared with fresh lettuce and everything fresh - you can tell from the crunch sound of the lettuce on your first bite and every single elements in the burger. Simply fresh, clean and delicious. The patties were cooked perfectly, the thickness of the patties were just right for me and the meat was still juicy :) Perfect with the fries with any fries.
Malibu - this burger is named after one of the famous beach in LA - since it's California Burger all the burgers should represent the Cali family. This is the first time we had turkey burger. Everything else is the same with LAX except that they used single turkey patty. Even with the same sauce and filling I think I would prefer the texture and the combination with the beef patty instead of the turkey patty. It was enjoyable for me but I prefer to have the classic beef one.
Beef and Chicken Tacos - Not only LA foods they also sell Tacos that fresh grilled everyday! :) My fave one would be the beef taco I think this is just me being biased towards beef tacos.

Gliding through the tropics
The weather conditions are already very different between the leader, Lionel Lemonchois on Gitana 11, and Thierry Duprey du Vorsent on Gitana 12, 750 miles behind. While the man at the head of the fleet glides across a smooth sea amidst the light but constant trade winds, the more distant pursuers are sailing in a strong north-easterly wind and rough seas. And while the finish for Lionel Lemonchois now looks probable for late Monday afternoon, those making up the rear won't be anywhere to be seen unless there is a radical change in weather…
With 870 miles and around 48 hours to go before the arrival of Gitana 11 in Pointe à Pitre, the race is still far from being over and Lionel Lemonchois, although unruffled with more than a hundred-mile lead over his friend and competitor, Pascal Bidégorry, is constantly checking in his rear-view mirror. The "buffer zone" has been growing gradually with the passing hours, as the gaps stabilise and the stable weather conditions forecast all the way to Guadeloupe make a reversal of the situation increasingly unlikely. Especially as Lionel Lemonchois is gliding over an almost direct route towards the finish and his rivals are aligned on the same trajectory to the nearest few dozen miles. With the exception of Yvan Bourgnon, who was the first to gybe on Friday and is therefore well to the east of the leader: he will have to realign himself with the route via a new gybe that could cost him very dear, to the point of seeing Thomas Coville, or even Franck Cammas, pinch fourth place from him…
In fact, the only uncertain parameter remaining at this stage of the race is the rounding of Guadeloupe, which requires the soloists to go around the island via the west, passing beneath the wind of the La Souffrière volcano (1467 metres) to change tack at a mark off the shore of the town of Basse-Terre. Even in taking the bend very wide to avoid the wind effects of the volcanic relief, it will be necessary at one moment or the other to head towards the shore and pass from an established north-easterly fifteen-knot breeze to erratic and low winds. Leads can melt away very rapidly in these circumstances, which is not good for the nerves or the ranking… But 120 miles at twenty knots gives a margin of six hours. Lionel Lemonchois is perfectly aware that he needs to at least maintain this lead over his pursuers and consequently alternate between rest, analysis of the trajectories, and accelerations at the helm.
Lionel Lemonchois (Gitana 11) at 07:30 UT:
"Things are starting to heat up on board: for two days, the temperature has been gradually rising and so there are hot sweats in the middle of the tropical night. There are no squalls but a stable 15-knot wind on a flat sea. Pascal Bidégorry has taken advantage to make up ten miles on me in four hours, which I'm not too thrilled about! I'm sailing mainly on automatic pilot and sleeping as much as possible but I'm going to have to change tactics because Pascal needs constant scrutiny… He must be at the helm and I need to watch him very closely as there's still 870 miles left to cover! He's definitely the biggest threat, as Yvan Bourgnon gybed earlier on Friday and has found himself in the wind, Michel Desjoyeaux is on my route but 190 miles back, while Pascal is only 120 miles away but in my wind. This will be clearer at noon today but all the evidence suggests he'll be the one to watch … I came across Ocean Alchemist, Olivier de Kersauson's motor boat, and as I was at the helm, I took the opportunity to show off a bit: the wind was rising and I was going to switch to staysail, but I waited a little for the image and the sheer fun of it. Gitana 11 handles really nicely and sailing her in the middle of the ocean with the central hull showing on the surface of the water, on a smooth sea, makes for a really nice flying sensation! Ahead, the weather conditions appear to be stable with a north-easterly wind of fifteen knots all the way to Guadeloupe. No squalls, no wind shifts, and I should arrive before a small area of low pressure forms, which will probably hinder those who are 300 miles behind… In terms of my physical condition, things are gong well as I've been able to sleep and recharge my batteries over recent hours. But I'm starting to get a bit impatient to finish! It's not so much weariness, as for the last few days it's been quite warm and fairly absorbing on the water with harsher conditions, but now with fifteen knots of wind compared with 20-25 knots before, it's obviously less exciting… Especially when you're going in the same direction for 48 hours! There's just the rounding of Guadeloupe left : I know the area a bit and it's better to arrive there at night. I don't yet know when I'll land at Pointe à Pitre, but at this pace, it should be Monday morning!"
Whereas for the group of pursuers within 350 miles of the leader the weather situation should not change too radically, it risks being a whole different story for those behind them: Alain Gautier, then Claude Thélier, Thierry Duprey du Vorsent and Antoine Koch are going to have to contend with at least one area of low pressure coming from the Antilles and with an eastern wave arriving from Africa... Apart from the fact that these trimarans could face a headwind, the trade winds will be broken up for several days! This is therefore going to result in a clear slowing down of this group, which is already two days behind the leader. Having said that, they could still beat the record time set by Laurent Bourgnon between Saint-Malo and Pointe-à-Pitre (12d 08h 41' 06''), but that's by no means certain… As for Steve Ravussin, still stopped at Horta (Azores) to change his central rudder, this change in the weather is not going to help his completion of the course. But Thierry Duprey du Vorsent on Gitana 12 still has a chance of gaining ground on Claude Thélier before the finish, as he's only a hundred or so miles ahead of him. Thierry needs to take maximum advantage of the beam wind still blowing between the Azores and the Antilles at over twenty-five knots…
Thierry Duprey du Vorsent (Gitana 12) at 07:00 UT:
"After spending Thursday night under squalls, lightning and thunder, Gitana 12 spent yesterday sailing in a cross sea with a north-easterly swell! The sea was very short as when the bows were in a wave, the next one was already right behind us and pushing us wickedly… And all this with a 20-23-knot north-easterly wind. And at the end of the morning, I got a bit of a fright: I had mainsail up with one reef and solent jib, when the boat planted her floats and central hull right up to the cross arms when coming down from a wave. I was at the helm and I tried to release the solent jib but the sheet didn't slide on the winch head. Consequently, Gitana 12 was not in a very standard situation… I cut down, in a slightly extreme fashion, to two reefs and staysail, so I was advancing a lot slower but while I lost ground on my comrades, I was at least able to rest and sleep. Last night, the sea started to flatten out and we only had the much longer northerly swell. However, the wind is now stronger with 25-27 knots and squalls of 32-35 knots… I've still got two reefs and staysail up but I'll soon be able to bring down at least one reef."

Hall of Famer Grant Hill's memoir 'Game' coming out in June
This cover image released by Penguin Press shows "GAME: An Autobiography" by Grant Hill. (Penguin Press via AP)
NEW YORK (AP) — Grant Hill's path to the NBA Hall of Fame had plenty of pain along with all the highlights.
Hill has a deal with Penguin Press for the memoir "Game," scheduled for June 7 and billed by the publishers as a "full, frank story" covering both the "pinnacle of success" and "the depths of personal trauma."
Hill will tell about helping Duke University win back-to-back NCAA titles, playing on the 1996 Olympics team that won the gold medal, and his achievements with such professional teams as the Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic. He will also discuss the ankle problems that plagued him for years, and the health struggles of his wife, Tamia Hill, the singer, songwriter and actor who has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
"My journey through basketball provided me with opportunities that I couldn't imagine when I started playing," Hill, now co-owner of the Atlanta Hawks, said in a statement Wednesday.
"More importantly, I grew and learned more about myself through the moments of athletic and personal adversity. There is connectivity in the stories we share, a familiarity in the collective pursuit of our goals and dreams. I have benefited from the chronicles of many people throughout my life, and I hope that 'Game' can be of similar value to others as they chase their dreams and fight through the unavoidable challenges life presents."

A partnership between Nightingale Properties and Carlton Associates bought 1835 Market St. in Center City for $100 million and it's the latest office building to trade in Philadelphia amid a flurry of deals.
The 29-story property has 660,343 square feet of office space, 26,160 square feet of retail and a three-story, underground parking garage with 176 spaces. The building, which was once known as 11 Penn Center, was constructed in 1986. Klehr Harrison is one of its anchor tenants. Its office space is just 75 percent occupied and 159,182 square feet is vacant. CalSTRS was the seller.
The partnership was attracted to the value-add nature of the property, said Doug Rodio, an investment broker with JLL who arranged the transaction. It has bought other buildings in Philadelphia with the same strategy of investing funds to improve them.
This is the third building in Philadelphia that Nightingale of New York has taken an ownership stake. It is involved in 1500 Spring Garden with Carlton and 1700 Market St. withDavid Werner, a New York real estate investor.
The investment scene in Philadelphia has heated up. Other office properties that have recently sold or are under agreement include 1515 Market St., 1818 Market St. and Seven Penn Center and those that are up for sale include 1650 Arch St., United Plaza, 3535 Market St. and 2.0 University Place. More office buildings are expected to hit the market by year end and early next year.

6 Jokes That Didn't Get Me a Job Writing for Weekend Update
January 12, 2012 July 9, 2014 1 Comment
Seth Meyers was pushing for me. Or whatever.
Each fall, before the start of a new television season, Saturday Night Live accepts submissions from comedy writers looking to write jokes on a freelance basis for Weekend Update. To my knowledge, pretty much anyone can apply; the only prerequisite is that you know who to contact in the writer's room. They generally respond to every inquiry, and the guidelines are fairly straightforward:
We would like you to write a total of 10 jokes based on news stories the occurred between September 6th and September 15, 2011. We are interested in seeing how you write for current events. We do not want old material. Also, please do not submit more than 10 jokes. To help you, I am enclosing a couple of pages of set-ups. You are not limited to the stories from these set-ups, but any stories you use must have occurred during the stated time period.
We are looking for solid, traditional monologue jokes. I.E. Two line jokes. Set-up followed by a punchline. We do not want Daily Show style rants. Please do not send in bits, shorts sketches, or anything involving other cast members. Do not submit jokes with multiple punchlines. They will count as separate jokes.
If you are accepted, there's no guarantee that anything you write will ever make it to air. In fact, there's a strong possibility that it won't. But you still get to say you're a freelance joke-writer at SNL, and that plays better on a résumé than "dog walker." I have no idea of how many people typically apply, and even less of an idea of how many are accepted. I wasn't. In fact, I was rejected in record time, just hours after emailing my submission. So, just in case you're wondering what not to do, here are a few of the jokes that didn't get me a job writing for Weekend Update. Continue reading →

Every true drinker has woken up at least once to discover a bruise or drinking-related injury from the previous night. Me, more than others.

It's nearly mid-March, which means that if you're a college student, you're probably getting ready to spend a week with 10 other hoodlums, holed up in some beachside shanty, soaking up moderate quantities of sun and lethal quantities of booze, in honor of that great American pastime known as spring break. Well, guess what: Even if your undergraduate years are over, you needn't dip to Tijuana to partake in the sort of lewd, depraved behavior pictured above. There are plenty of bars where even the most respectable professionals you can experience the thrills of spring break–from the alcohol poisoning to the scantily clad girls–right here on the Isle of Manhattan.

Tribeca Film Festival: Inside the "Baby Mama" Premiere
April 25, 2008 January 13, 2011 1 Comment
The Tribeca Film Festival is off to a strong start, with the stars turning out for last night's world premiere of "Baby Mama" at the Ziegfeld. We were in attendance at the official after-party, held at the Museum of Modern Art, which could have been mistaken for a "Saturday Night Live" reunion. In addition to Lorne Michaels and "Baby Mama" stars Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, guests at the MoMa included a long list of present and former cast-members, like Jimmy Fallon (who eventually left the party with former "SNL" player Chris Kattan), Rachel Dratch, Jason Sudeikis, Fred Armisen, Molly Shannon and even Chevy Chase. But the superstar of the evening was Steve Martin, who sauntered in wearing a panama hat, spent most of his time at a table with Lorne and Chevy and later departed without obliging the fans who were waiting outside for an autograph. (That said, Martin's role in "Baby Mama" is much funnier than the rest of the movie.) Continue reading →
Oh, Snap! Equinox vs. The Catholic League
February 8, 2008 January 16, 2011 Leave a comment
Evidently The Catholic League is none too pleased about Equinox's latest ad campaign, which depicts a series of sexy, fairytale-esque scenes shot by Ellen von Unwerth. In particular, they take issue with the hot nuns with exposed legs sketching the hot naked dude with exposed everything. The ads aren't in rotation in New York yet, but will be making their city-wide debut forthwith. In the meantime, Equinox is more than happy to exacerbate the situation by giving New Yorkers a sneak peek of what it has in store for our local magazines, billboards, and subways by displaying the new ads in the windows at three of their locations (50th Street, 19th Street and Greenwich Avenue), from now through Friday.
I belong to one of Equinox's competitors, so I can't say I know for sure what their clientele is like. But I can say that my gym is filled with fatties and old people, and if I ever once had to look at someone like the models above while "running" my 12-minute mile, I'd either kill myself or kill them. To be fair though, while these ads don't necessarily make me want to join Equinox (or ever leave my apartment again, for that matter), they do make me want to join a convent and take up sketching.
Citysearch: Places We'd Like to See Squashed by the Cloverfield Monster
January 18, 2008 July 9, 2014 Leave a comment
Photo: Cloverfield hits theaters this weekend
Lady Liberty is just one of the New York City landmarks that takes a beating in the highly anticipated new monster movie, "Cloverfield," which hits theaters today. From what I can surmise, the premise goes something like this: Young, fun-loving crowd of New Yorkers are at one of those cheesy parties where the hosts videotape their guests talking about how totally awesome the party is, when all hell breaks loose. Suddenly New York is under attack by a savage, futuristic-Godzilla-style monster. Chaos and massive destruction ensue as said monster proceeds to obliterate everything (and everyone) in its path, all but leveling the city. But every movie has a hero (although judging from the "Cloverfield" cast, that hero needn't be a celebrity), and ours turns out to be one of the dudes who was at that party before all the madness began. Ultimately, that guy, whoever he is, leads a mission to defeat the monster, thereby restoring order and saving the city.
With any luck, "Cloverfield" will deliver at least one good old-fashioned impaling–perhaps one that involves the Empire State Building needle, for example–but suffice it to say that there will be blood. So, at the risk of offending a broad spectrum of our audience, we're paying tribute to this epic movie with a little hit list of our own: Places We'd Like to See Squashed by the "Cloverfield" Monster.

The next time you sit on a toilet seat it could save your life. While that may sound preposterous, it's the result of a high-tech advancement that enables a toilet seat to can detect heart conditions before symptoms arise by measuring heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels — all from the user's legs, The Daily Mail reported.
Scientists invented a technology-filled covering designed to fit over a regular toilet seat. Its sensors collect vital data about the user's health and transmits the information to doctors via WiFi.
The inventors at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York are hoping to use the device to slash hospital admission rates and make it easier to monitor the health of at-risk patients from home.
Nicholas Conn, a postdoctoral fellow at the Rochester Institute of Technology. was involved in the nifty toilet seat's creation and noted that at least 25 percent of patients with congestive heart failure are readmitted into hospital within 30 days of being discharged. It has become such an issue that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has started penalizing hospitals for readmitting patients for heart failure.
Conn pointed out that the penalty for readmitting 150 patients is approximately $500,000 annually while the total cost of providing 150 patients with their own monitored toilet seats would cost $200,000. The investment would not only save lives, it could help hospital's save thousands.
"There is a pressing need to reduce the hospitalization rate of heart failure patients to limit rising health care costs and improve outcomes," the inventors wrote in a report in the journal JMIR mHealth.

New MacBook Pro Rumor Gains More Evidence of a Speedy Arrival
Kevin Purcell February 19, 2011
New MacBook Pros have been rumored to be coming very soon with speculation heating up due to shipping delays to not just third-party venders but also the Apple store itself, according to the Apple Insider. We told you previously that March 1 was a likely date, but new evidence suggests it may even be sooner. The evidence is a screenshot at Apple Insider showing shipping delays of more than 24 hours at the online Apple Store
As you can see from the picture above 13″ models won't ship for 2-4 days or 1-3 days depending on the model. One 15″ model and one 17″ model shows shipping times of 3-5 days. After this story was posted and many other sites started picking it up the times have miraculously changed back to the typical 24 hours, as you can see from our own screen shot taken just after 7:00 PM EST on Feb. 18.
Why the difference? It is possible this was a temporary delay that just happened to catch the eye of the Apple Insider folks thanks to an unnamed source that claims to know that an announcement will be coming as soon as next week. Or coule Apple be trying to hide this detail? The Apple Insider report says Apple …
…began briefing several of its operating segments to be on stand-by for a significant product launch that could come as early as next week. Those same people were not yet made privy to the specifics of the launch …
This is wild speculation based on what sounds like some shaky sources. However, information that iOS 4.3 seems to be just about ready to launch coule mean a big announcement is coming soon. Due to one major part of the forthcoming update this wile speculation could be real. In app subscriptions support will have to be turned on by March 1 for the much heralded app The Daily. It's free trial expires about that time.
Also, Apple has been pushing out Mac OS X betas to developers with new ones coming almost weekly. They could be getting ready for a whole new ecosystem of Apple products including the iOS, the second generation iPad, a new version of MobileMe, and new MacBooks with Sandy Bridge processors.
The takeaway is this: Don't buy a MacBook Pro in the next couple of weeks until we hear from Apple about a possible update. This depends on you caring about getting the latest and greatest. If you don't, now might be a good time with some President's Day sales knocking a few bucks off the regular price of the MacBook Pro 13″ models.

Advantages and Characteristics of Double Glazing Windows
The crystals or double glazing exploit the fact that air is a poor conductor of heat. They are made of two sheets of glass separated by a layer of air or gas, such as argon, which is even worse a conductor of heat than air.
There are different thicknesses for example "4/16/4", "4/12/4" or "4/6/4". These figures represent the thicknesses in millimeters of the constituents of a double crystal. For example, "4/6/4" refers to 4 mm for the first glass, 6 mm for the air chamber and 4 mm for the second glass. The greater the thickness of the air chamber, the greater the insulation.
There are also for sale, asymmetric double crystals, for example, "10/6/4″. In this case, the outer glass is the thickest for better sound insulation.
There are also triple crystals, much more insulating but also heavier and more expensive. Greater thermal and acoustic insulation.
The double glass reduces the " cold glass " effect, prevents condensation by bringing the temperature of the glass closer to the ambient temperature, and therefore reduces energy consumption by up to 10%. If there is a temperature outside 0 ° C, there will be 5 ° C next to a window equipped with a single glass, 10 ° C next to a window with double classic glass and 16 ° C next to a window with reinforced double glazing.
How much does a double-glazed window cost?
You can buy only double glass, for example, if you want to change a glass yourself. In this case, the cost will be less than 150 euros per square meter (without installation). The price will obviously vary according to the type of glass and its thickness.
As for the cost of a window equipped with a double glazing of standard size (115 x 100 mm), this will range from 150 euros to 1000 euros (without installation) depending on the material chosen (PVC, aluminum or wood).
For the installation of a window by a professional it is necessary to count on a budget of 100 to 200 euros that will vary according to the material and the size of the window.
Triple crystal is 50% to 80% more expensive than double crystal.

Fresh flowers can liven up any household. But considering fresh roses last a week — if you're lucky — they can also be wasteful.
The Everlasting Rose from Rosephoria cuts down on waste while still bringing plenty of flair. It will last up to a year, while also serving as a cost-effective alternative to constant bouquets of flowers: a 9-inch stem costs $150, while the 11-inch costs $190. It doesn't hurt that each order comes with a premium crystal glass dome for an even more exquisite display.
Use discount code Gear15 for 15 percent off the Rosephoria Everlasting Rose.
Save 20%: When native North American tribes created them decades ago, snowshoes were designed for travel. They were long and wide (as they still are today) to provide a wearer with a platform that would prevent him or her from sinking into deep snow, making winter travel faster and less strenuous. The modern application of snowshoes is perhaps more aligned with sport than necessity, but they're still built with that same concept, and thanks to the availability of strong and lightweight materials, they're better than ever.
Save 16%: Now that they've adopted the same ripstop nylon exterior and warm fluffy interior found in sleeping bags, camp blankets have staked their resolute claim as functional outdoor bedding. Like that more traditional backcountry sleep sack, these new blankets are super-light, highly packable and incredibly warm. This newness hasn't made long-established outdoor blankets obsolete either (if anything, it's helped popularize them again). Those original blankets were made of wool, and there are some, like Woolrich in Pennsylvania, that continue to use the material to produce fabrics that are durable, warm and satisfyingly heavy. Plus, they look as good on a bed or couch inside as they do at a campsite.
Save $120 Among the Moccamaster's features and accolades, two things are most crucial: copper tube heating and the ability to disassemble. Copper coils, given the material's natural heat conductivity, heat the water much more quickly than machines using steel or other methods (the only machine we've tested that brews faster is Breville's Precision Brewer). The ability to take the whole thing apart is also unique, and allows for troubleshooting at fixing at home rather than losing your source of coffee to the mail for a few weeks (it's also great for cleaning the machine).
Today, Moccamaster's KBS model is more than $100 off on Massdrop. It's basically a blacked-out version that uses a glass carafe and hot plate rather than the classic stainless steel thermo-carafe.
Save Up to $50: During Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Sonos offered its Sonos One speaker for $25 off, from $199 down to $175, but that deal has since dried up. Fortunately, it's still a great time to buy this entry-level, Alexa-integrated speaker as Sonos is running another holiday deal; you can buy one Sonos One for $20 off, from $199 down to $179, which isn't quite as good of a deal as before but it's still decent. And if you buy two Sonos One speakers, you get $50 off, which is just as good as the deal Sonos ran over the Thanksgiving holiday. Both white and black models of the Sonos One are available. This deal will stay valid through December 25, 2018, or while supplies last.
Save $130:Garmin pumps out some of the best GPS running watches available. It starts with the Forerunner 25 and moves up to the 935 (at a cool $500). The higher the number, the more bells and whistles the smartwatch has, and the greater the price. The Garmin Forerunner 235 is a solid pick for someone who doesn't want to spend $500 on a smartwatch but needs it to track every single run with just the push of a button. The 235 monitors your VO2 max and heart rate throughout the day, so you can keep up with your physical fitness levels and make sure they're all in alignment. The battery life of 12 hours or possibly 12 weeks (depending if you use GPS tracking) is hard to match. A colorful watch face comes in three different watch bands: black, red or light blue.


The information on driving, chipping and putting seems endless, but what about information about going from driving to chipping or putting? In this piece of course management, Troy Klongerbo talks about the importance of understanding your distances on your mid irons, as well as how to manipulate your typical distances to help you shave strokes off your round in no time.
Hey golfers, Troy Klongerbo here with USGolfTV, and today we're going to talk about course management. Now a lot of instruction has been put out about how to hit drivers better, how to putt better, how to chip better, bunker play; but not too much attention is really focused to your mid irons, and really how to optimize those shots in your golf game. So today we're going to spend some time talking about those.
Now for most golfers, they're going to have anywhere from a 3 iron to a 4 iron all the way down to a pitching wedge, and that leaves us with about 7 or 8 golf clubs that we consider your irons. Now when controlling your distances, you may have upwards of 14 to 15 clubs that you consider irons based on just the way you grip the golf club.
You know, most irons are going to have a 10 yard increment between them, 10 to 12 yards. Now you can cut that in half just by controlling where you grip the club on the golf club. Choking down a little bit—maybe a little closer to the steel—that would be critical for understanding that you could take 5 yards maybe off an iron shot. Now you're really filling those intervals in, and giving yourself a ton of different options when you're on the course.
So that's the first big step, is understanding how far you're hitting the golf ball. What plays into that is the lie you have when you're playing. If you're playing out of the rough, you might catch different lies based on whether it's sitting up or sitting down. When you're playing from the fairway, you may get a tight lie, or a lie that's sitting in a divot, and all of those factors play in. It's very important to understand how the lie interacts with the shot that you're trying to hit.
So when you guys are out there practicing, I really challenge you to go out there and work on different distances. Choke up on the club, grip one normal; see how far those golf balls fly. Maybe hit one out of the divot and see, "am I losing some distance here, or is this ball flying the way it normally does?" Maybe even take some out of the rough on the side of the driving range, hit some of those; tee a couple up and set a couple down. Understand that you're losing ten yards on some shots, 15 yards; you might be picking up 5 yards here, and it's all about understanding your game better so you can manage the course better and shoot better golf scores.


SEATTLE — Apr. 30, 2002 — Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center officials have implemented a number of enhancements to their current practices and procedures involving the conduct of clinical trials. These enhancements are based on recommendations of the Patient Protection Oversight Committee (PPOC), a committee formed to assist Fred Hutchinson in evaluating and implementing the recommendations made in Sept. 2001 by the Committee for Patient Protection in Research Trials (CPPRT).
The 11-point course of action outlined by the PPOC includes changes to the center's conflict of interest policy as well as the hiring of a consultant with expertise in regulatory compliance issues and a physician's assistant to standardize and simplify the language of informed consent documents. Also provided is additional legal support for compliance matters. Many of these recommendations have already been implemented.
One of the recommendations of the PPOC is the amendment of the center's conflict of interest policy. The amended policy (PDF, 91K) now prohibits ownership of stock or receipt of royalty payments on patents by a researcher directly and significantly related to a clinical trial in which a researcher is involved. Scientists involved in the conduct of human subjects' trials will also be required to disclose to patients and in scientific publications any financial interest that they have in the for-profit company sponsoring the trial in which they are involved.
Bruce Pym, chair of the PPOC and a trustee since June 2000, said the enhancements make the center a national leader in human-subjects protections, a topic undergoing evaluation and discussion at major research institutions across the country.
"While Fred Hutchinson has always fully complied with government regulations, the PPOC is committed to continually improving the processes involving clinical trials," says Pym. "We believe that the terms of the enhanced conflict of interest policy, which are stricter than those mandated by the federal government and advocated by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), will ensure that Fred Hutchinson serves as a role model for the ethical conduct of human research."
In its study of conflict of interest policies, the PPOC compared policies of Fred Hutchinson with those of other research centers, U.S. Public Health Services regulations, as well as policies recently proposed by the AAMC. The stringency of the guidelines approved by the center's trustees exceeds the stringency of policies adopted by many leading research centers as well as recommendations by the AAMC, which issued its recommendations last December.
Dr. Lee Hartwell, Fred Hutchinson president and director, says he expects that the board-approved measures will foster increased confidence among patients that the center will let nothing stand in the way of providing the best care and the highest ethical standards in clinical trials.
"Those of us who conduct the medical research necessary to alleviate disease and suffering recognize the importance of ensuring that the clinical trials system meets strict safety and ethical standards," says Hartwell. "We all need clinical research and clinical trials to improve the outcomes and quality of life of the critically ill because any one of us might at some time be a patient with a life-threatening disease."
Hartwell notes that the revised conflict-of-interest policy has the full support of Fred Hutchinson faculty.
"They supported the proposed changes and firmly believe that the center should do everything possible to eliminate any appearance of conflict of interest."
The official report released by the PPOC provides details of enhancements implemented or for future implementation to Fred Hutchinson's current policies and practices. Below are highlights from the report.
The center has allocated additional resources of $1 million per year to help support activities noted in the Committee for Patient Protection in Research Trials report and the action plans approved by the PPOC.
Center staff will be further involved in national discussions regarding Institutional Review Board activities, protocol safety and data monitoring, and will increase participation in discussions on informed consent and the management of conflict of interest.
The center has created a Research Trials Office that will track ongoing regulations that relate to trials involving human subjects and ensure that the center is in compliance.
The center has hired additional staff and consultants to advise on Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory compliance.
The center will hire an additional trainer whose main role will be to address increased federal requirements for ongoing research integrity training.
The center has improved the ethnic diversity of the Institutional Review Board membership that will serve to enhance sensitivity to cultural, racial, and language differences in the informed consent process.
A physician assistant has been hired to help with standardization and simplification of language for the informed consent documents used for adults and children.
An external consultant will be engaged to assist in evaluating the language and format of the informed consent documents for improvements.
The center has recently updated its ongoing system for protocol data and safety monitoring.
The center has hired an outside contract research organization to perform monitoring of protocol data.
The center is creating a new research-ethics committee that will provide consultative services to researchers and staff designing or reviewing research studies and offer advice to Institutional Review Boards upon request.
The center will engage independent reviewers for a follow-up review later in the year.
The PPOC was created by Fred Hutchinson's Board of Trustees in September 2001, following a review by the ad hoc community committee, the CPPRT, which was chaired by the Rev. William Sullivan, chancellor and former president of Seattle University and a center trustee. Community members and center trustees convened a panel of experts last year to review Fred Hutchinson's current practices and policies regarding clinical trials and clinical research.
The CPPRT reviewers found that Fred Hutchinson were in compliance with federal and state regulations and was comparable in its policies and practices to other institutions in each area that was evaluated. Although in compliance, both the expert reviewers and the CPPRT made recommendations to strengthen and enhance existing policies and practices.
The PPOC met from October 2001 through April 2002. Members reviewed current practices and policies and studied background material pertaining to Institutional Review Board activities, protocol safety and data monitoring, informed consent, management of conflict of interest and financial disclosure. The PPOC meetings included a session with former patients and a family member who described their experiences with the informed-consent process, a series of safeguards designed to ensure that patients are fully advised of the risks and benefits of a clinical trial. The PPOC is a standing committee and will continue to review and monitor work plans in progress and the suggestions for operational improvements made by the independent reviewers.
The eight-member Patient Protection Oversight Committee was comprised of members of Fred Hutchinson board of trustees. These included Bruce M. Pym, chair, a partner of the law firm of Heller Ehrman White & McAuliffe LLP, and former managing partner of its Northwest Offices; Carl G. Behnke chairman of Sur La Table and president of REB Enterprises Inc.; Philip K. Bussey, president of the Washington Roundtable, a public policy research and advocacy group comprised of 35 chief executive officers of major Washington state companies; Joan L. Enticknap, president of Homestreet Bank; Ed Fritzky, chief executive officer, Immunex Corporation; H. Jon Runstad, chairman and CEO of Wright Runstad & Company; Patricia Stanford, community activist, University of Washington board of regents and widow of former Seattle Schools Superintendent John Stanford; the Rev. William J. Sullivan, chancellor and past president of Seattle University; and Doug Walker, chief executive officer and founding member of WRQ.

We love a challenge – we curate and produce interactive exhibitions, art installations, experiences and live events in unusual locations, to engage universal audiences.
Whether it's a large-scale artwork with direct public interaction or an exclusive, intimate experience, we offer our extensive knowledge of production from conception to completion. From creative direction, location finding, permissions and licensing to bringing together partnerships and communities, we offer our logistical and technical know-how to bring a project to fruition.
Consultation and Project ManagemeNT
Through consultation and project management, we are able to facilitate and collaborate with artists, companies and organisations whose goals dovetail with our expertise. We have extensive knowledge of all aspects of curating, commissioning, producing and delivering - unique, inspiring and high-impact artworks, exhibitions and events to engage a diverse new audience. Much of our work is large-scale, site-responsive, interactive and celebrates the history of people and places.
We have successfully produced and installed many ambitious installations for the public realm in high footfall public spaces, including on bridges and in water. We have also worked within restricted sites including listed buildings and temporary buildings in a visionary way. Our projects have required us to work closely with engineers, scientists, trades, sponsors, authorities and local communities to make them happen.
We can provide artistic direction and production management on all aspects of a project: co-ordinating production and installation (including working alongside artists to research and develop ideas and outcomes), selection procedures and panels, brokering collaborations between artists, engineers, authorities and others, location finding, devising funding sources, applying for statutory permissions and licences, drafting risk and method statements, drafting contracts and schedules, advising on ownership and maintenance, organising film and stills documentation and marketing collateral, engaging the media, initiating and delivering rated public workshops, talks and events and evaluating the outcome.
We are able to share our expertise, and manage, produce and deliver projects on time and within budget.
"Illuminate Productions do what they say. By producing work that tickles, provokes and pleases in spaces that no-one else can find, they provide a unique and genre-bending addition to the cultural landscape."
— Dr Daniel Glaser, Director, Science Gallery London King's College London
Public Art Commissions
Our work aims to push artistic boundaries and transform public space through site-reactive works that engage and excite a universal audience.
We understand the need to create places that people aspire to live and work in, and we believe that art can add real value by defining the character of a place - providing a link to local, historical or cultural attributes and putting the place on the map. Art can also enhance community engagement and create a sense of belonging.
We produce unique artistic interventions, working with a wide range of collaborators and artists, from permanent and temporary public art commissions, to art integrated within architecture. Past commissioned artworks have enhanced public space, gained critical acclaim, had worldwide media coverage and have inspired local business and residential communities.
We are able to offer artistic direction and a full management service; we research artists specifically for each project and organise every aspect of the commissioning process, from curatorial direction and artist selection, through to project management and installation.
"Illuminate Productions commission an amazing array of leading visual, light, sound and performance artists, transforming public space and bringing lost buildings and unusual places to life.
— Justine Simons OBE, Deputy Mayor for Culture and Creative Industries: Culture and the Creative Industries MAYOR OF LONDON
Meanwhile Space
We have extensive experience as meanwhile use operators working alongside developers, landowners and local authorities. We have built trust through a track record of successful meanwhile occupations, while also engaging communities, supporting the arts and producing renowned and award-winning art installations and events.
There are many positive examples of the effects that meanwhile use has on place-making, including improving safety and creating a sense of community. Meanwhile use has proven to have great value in today's cities, from offering opportunities for public engagement, nurturing emerging talent to enhancing perceptions of places.
Much of what residents and tourists love about London is its fringe and its arts and culture - much of which has be conceived, nurtured or trialled in meanwhile spaces. For inclusive city-making; meanwhile use can provide the space for the next generation of entrepreneurs, artists and activists.
We are able to manage a vital part of a development process, utilising derelict or underused space with minimal risk, while delivering a number of benefits to the communities in which we work.

WACO — It's been three years since the bloodiest motorcycle gun battle in Texas history — a melee at high noon featuring dozens of guns, chains, knives and even machetes — left nine bikers dead, 18 injured and 177 in jail.
But as Thursday's deadline approaches for new charges, the aggressive law enforcement effort once billed as a pro-active crackdown on biker violence has instead devolved into a struggling investigation marred by lack of evidence, prosecutorial overreach and a lame-duck district attorney's office hobbled by unrelated allegations of corruption.
So far, not a single biker has been convicted of a crime. The only trial to date ended in December with a hung jury as 10 jurors voted for dismissal of the conspiracy case against a Bandidos chieftain from Dallas.
And more than 150 criminal cases have been dismissed outright, including more than 60 just this week. A growing number of civil lawsuits seek millions of dollars in damages for bikers who lost their lives, their jobs or their resources.
Today, the beleaguered district attorney's office is left with just two dozen criminal cases, including new charges of causing injury while inciting a riot, a far simpler crime to prove than the conspiracy to commit murder charges that were initially filed against so many. Several bikers also face charges of murder and tampering with evidence.
Yet the shootout continues to rock the criminal justice system and Central Texas politics.
District Attorney Abelino "Abel" Reyna, a 45-year-old Republican who was admonished by a judge for using photographs of slain bikers in his re-election campaign, was easily defeated in the March primary by a Waco lawyer who vowed to take charge of the cases.
Reyna declined to comment about Twin Peaks or the recent charges. But defense attorneys say they will fight for more dismissals.
Cody Ledbetter, a former member of the Cossacks motorcycle club, on Wednesday, April 18, 2018, sitting in the spot where his stepfather, Danny Boyett, died after being shot in the head on May 17, 2015 in the parking lot of a former a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco. Ledbetter describes knowing that his father was dead because of the severity of his wounds which Ledbetter saw as he was walked out by police and taken into custody following the shoot out. Nine people died in the shootout.
The legal saga began three years ago on a rainy spring Sunday.
The meeting was billed as an information luncheon on motorcycle safety and legislation.
Unknown to the public, however, law enforcement feared that two of the largest motorcycle gangs in Texas were about to settle up after more than a year of skirmishes and roadside fights. They lined up, many of them undercover, near the restaurant as nearly 300 bikers converged near the center of town, not far from the Baylor University campus, wheeling heavy Harley Davidsons into the parking lot of the popular franchise restaurant known for waitresses in skimpy outfits.
Officers — including an 11-member SWAT team — waited nearby in 10 police vehicles, joined by law enforcement agents from the Texas Department of Public Safety, game wardens and federal firearms agents.
Some believe the confrontation between the well-armed biker gangs stemmed from a simmering dispute over territory, signified by the right to display the word "Texas" on their leather jackets and vests.
The more powerful gang was the feared Bandidos, who control which clubs put a "Texas" banner patch under the mascot on the back of their leathers. Lined up against them at Twin Peaks were the Cossacks, a smaller club with origins in East Texas that was expanding and whose members wore the patch without the approval of the Bandidos.
Years later, what sparked the actual fight is still disputed.
The gunfight may have started as a fracas in the bathroom. Some say it erupted after a biker drove over a rival's foot in the parking lot. However the melee began, surveillance video shows a gun battle that raged from the parking lot onto wide porches of the eatery.
Bikers weren't the only ones shooting, however. Ballistics would later show that four of the nine people killed were slain by weapons fired by Waco police officers. Seven of the dead were members of the Cossacks, one was a Bandido and the ninth was unaffiliated.
Waco police were quick to characterize the bikers as out-of-towners up to no good.
The Bandidos are considered one of the largest biker groups in the United States, and Texas is their home turf. But in recent years the Cossacks had been challenging that authority, according to an affidavit by Waco police officer Vincent Glenn.
"Cossacks threatened that Waco was a 'Cossack's town' and nobody else could ride there," Glenn said.
In this May 17, 2015 photo, authorities investigate a shooting in the parking lot of the Twin Peaks restaurant, in Waco, Texas. Six witnesses say they heard a few pistol shots before automatic fire took over during a shootout last month at a Waco Twin Peaks restaurant. Police have acknowledged firing on armed bikers, but say they cannot address how many of the nine dead and 18 wounded were shot by bikers and how many were shot by officers.
Cody Ledbetter, 29, a former member of the Cossacks gang who lives near Waco, rented a car and drove to the Twin Peaks meeting because his arm was in a sling. His stepfather, a Cossacks leader named Daniel "Diesel" Boyett, 44, met him there.
The fight began as members of the Bandidos and Cossacks began taunting each other in the parking lot, Ledbetter recalled.
As bullets zinged past, he looked back to see his stepfather drop among the rows of parked motorcycles.
"I thought he took cover," he said.
Ledbetter got inside the restaurant and crouched next to a steel cooler.
He said police rounded everyone up, put most in zip-ties and sat them on tailgates of pickup trucks that lined the parking lot at the rear of Twin Peaks.
Ledbetter was eventually transported with more than 100 other bikers to the county's convention center where they waited overnight to be processed into jail cells. Ledbetter said he spent more than 24 hours bound, his hands secured with plastic zip-ties.
His stepfather was shot by Waco police, and a McLennan County grand jury cleared the officers of any criminal responsibility for the deaths of Boyett and three other bikers.
Ledbetter returned to the same parking lot in April and sat on the curb next to the parking space where he last saw his dad. He quietly wiped his eyes, hidden behind mirrored sunglasses.
After the shooting, Ledbetter quit the Cossacks, the club that his dad helped lead. He was shaken by what happened.
Reyna's office dismissed criminal charges against Ledbetter in March after Looney, his attorney, demanded a jury trial.
Cody Ledbetter, a former member of the Cossacks Motorcycle Club, describes where police officers were set up in the wake of the biker shootout at Twin Peaks in Waco on May 17, 2015. Ledbetter quit the club after his dad was killed in the gunfight.
The conduct of the Waco prosecution has been questioned, not only by a host of defense attorneys and civil libertarians, but even by some of the state's toughest former prosecutors.
Johnny Holmes, the no-nonsense Harris County district attorney for two decades, was sharply critical of how the Waco case has been handled.
And while Holmes said he had not studied the case, he said the recent flood of dismissals tells him the initial arrests likely were an overreach.
That is a different view than Reyna took when he dismissed an initial cluster of cases in February.
"While probable cause for the defendants' arrest and prosecution remains, based on continued investigation, the State is exercising its prosecutorial discretion in dismissing this matter in order to focus its efforts and resources on co-defendants with a higher level of culpability," Reyna said in statement.
"These dismissals should not be considered an exoneration of the individual defendants or the gangs they belong to," he added.
Reyna oversaw the only case that has has gone to trial, a $680,000 affair that ended with Dallas Bandido Jake Carrizal walking out of the courthouse after 10 out of 12 McLennan County jurors said he was not guilty, resulting in a mistrial. He was re-indicted last week on a first-degree riot charge, which carries a maximum punishment of life in prison.
Defense attorney Casie Gotro, who represented Carrizal, said Reyna remains under a cloud of suspicion on unrelated allegations he fixed cases for friends and political supporters.
Reyna was elected in 2010 after defeating longtime incumbent Democrat John Segrest.
A Waco native who earned his law degree from hometown Baylor University, Reyna worked as a defense attorney and law partner with Judge Matt Johnson, now one of the two district judges presiding over the Twin Peaks cases. The judge recused himself from one of the biker cases in October but continues to preside over others.
Reyna has a notable legal lineage and is the son of retired Justice Felipe Reyna. The elder Reyna was also district attorney of McLennan County before he served on the 10th Court of Appeals.
Reyna has denied any wrongdoing. Before the election, Reyna held a press conference saying "motorcycle gang defense attorneys" were blaming him for delays and unrelated allegations of case fixing.
Critics say that in crucial hours immediately after the biker shootout, Reyna instructed Waco police to not only question but arrest nearly everyone at the scene.
Reyna was trounced in the March GOP primary by attorney Barry Johnson. The Democrat who filed for the position has suspended his campaign, but another attorney is hoping to make an independent bid for the seat in November.
Johnson said the investigation was botched.
"It was our position that it was mishandled by the district attorney because he went out to the scene and took the investigation away from the Waco Police Department, who had crime scene investigators on the scene," Johnson said.
Reyna, moreover, may have waived his immunity from civil lawsuits by acting outside the scope of his duty, Johnson said.
"The investigation was hijacked from the experts, the crime scene investigators," he said.
Protestors greet arriving bikers attending the "All for 1" rally at the McLennan County courthouse in Waco, Texas, Sunday, June 7, 2015. Organizers, who have called the event a peaceful, silent protest, gathered in front of the courthouse to protest what they say is the violation of rights of many bikers who were arrested at Twin Peaks just for being at the scene of the crime.
At a biker bar 90 miles south of Waco, Cyndi Smith is tired of hearing the stereotypes about bikers.
"There were some bad people out there that day, but not the majority of them," she said on a recent Thursday afternoon, lighting a Carnival cigarette after opening Cyndi's Hawg Hangout, a bar she established a decade ago.
The lumbering smoky hall has a horseshoe bar and exposed wooden rafters adorned with biker flags. It sits at the bottom of a steep slope off the side of Highway 21, in the middle of Central Texas between Bastrop and Bryan-College Station.
Smith has been a member of the Line Riders, an independent club, since 2005. She looks at the inked sleeve of tattoos on her left arm to double-check the date she joined.
Her husband, who joined three years after she did, is the current president and was at the shoot-out. He was arrested and bailed out after several weeks. His case has been dismissed.
Cyndi Smith was not at Twin Peaks because her bar holds church services every Sunday from 11 a.m. to noon.
"No alcohol is served," she laughs.
Cyndi Smith, owner of Cyndi's Hawg Hangout in Caldwell, Tx, describes a raid by U.S. Marshals to find additional bikers in the days after the biker shootout at Twin Peaks in Waco on May 17, 2015. Smith's bar is 90 miles south of Waco.
The legal wrangling is likely to continue for years, with civil lawsuits filed seeking millions of dollars in damages.
The problem, he said, was that officials saw that the potential suspects were bikers, mostly from out of town, and treated them all like criminals.
McLennan County Judge Scott Felton, the county's chief financial officer, said he hopes the wave of dismissals will nullify most of the lawsuits.
He believes the county's insurance and "strong financial state" will mitigate the risk of a massive hit to county coffers if the county loses the suits.
Felton said the enormous tab from Carrizal's trial — the only case that has been before a jury — for security, indigent defense and other costs was largely picked up by a "county essentials grant" from the state. He said security fears surrounding biker protests drove up costs for the first trial. Any subsequent trials would cost less.

Lesbian Pop Culture Reviews
Queer Millennial Girl Reviews The First Ever Lesbian Film "Mädchen in Uniform"
December 14, 2017 Corinne Werder
Pour yourself a whiskey and snuggle up for this lez classic.
I have a confession to make: before starting this column, I had only seen about 2 classic lesbian films. I know, I'm a bad queer. When I admitted this to my fellow GO coworkers, they were appalled. Two of them quickly listed off at least 10 films I needed to watch right away. I rapidly wrote down the titles (for research, obviously).
I want to take you all along with me in my quest to review all of the lesbian classics through my Millennial queer lens. Last week, I reviewed the coming of age film "Pariah."
This week, I watched the first ever lesbian film made in Germany in 1931.
Last night, it was bitterly cold in Brooklyn. I got home from work and cuddled up with my dog to watch a lesbian classic. I didn't know what film to choose from (my list is long as I haven't seen so many amazing queer films). And that's when I thought, why not go back to where it all began? The very first lesbian film was made in 1931 Germany. I'd heard of the film before but couldn't believe that it was made in 1931, so I knew I had to watch it for myself.
"Mädchen in Uniform" translates in English to "Girls in Uniform" and the film has been made multiple times. I decided to stick with the original, which is based off of the 1930 play "Gestern und heute" (Yesterday and Today) by Christa Winsloe which supposedly has a much stronger lesbian plot-line than the film I watched.
As the snow started to fall, I poured myself an eggnog whiskey and snuggled up for this pivotal lesbian film. The story takes place in 1910 Prussia, with the lead character Manuela von Meinhardis transitioning into a brand new boarding school after the death of her mother. This was a time when discipline and rules was a standard at this school.
Manuela found her new home to be cold, harsh, and lacking in compassion. But soon after becoming acclimated to this new environment, she found solace in her peers. Most of the girls at the boarding school are around 14-years-old and even though this film was made in 1931 — it shows that the teen experience is relatable through the decades.
The girls bond as they brush each others' hair, complain about the dismal uniforms, joke around before bed, and talk about their unified crush on teacher Fräulein von Bernburg. This is brought up in the most blasé of ways — like it's totally normal to have same-sex attraction (which of course it is, but this portrayal was shocking for a film made in 1931). However, Manuela finds her crush on Bernburg to grow in intensity more so than her peers. And the pivotal "lesbian moment" in the film happens when Bernberg goes around kissing each of the girls goodnight on their foreheads, and when she gets around to Manuela she plants one on her lips. Manuela dramatically falls into her arms and you can see, in that instant, the young girl is infatuated with this older woman.
I wonder if this is where the stereotypical student/teacher lesbian romance storyline came from — or if there were books predating this that set the stage. Either way, this was a risqué and transgressive film to be released in 1931 — especially in pre-Nazi Germany right before Hitler took power and WWII began.
As the film continues, you get to experience Manuela's first love and all of the intense and dramatic feelings that come with the experience. And while they never mention queerness or even the word lesbian — there are undertones of Manuela's coming out process and Bernburg's understanding of the young girls' experience. "What you call sins, I call the great spirit of love, in all its forms," Bernburg says.
While at first, I was definitely nervous about this romantic crush between Manuela and her (much) older teacher being weird or creepy — the way Bernburg maneuvered the situation was actually very kind. She knew that Manuela had feelings for her and she gently and compassionately talked to the teen about her feelings. It seemed to me that Bernburg was a lesbian herself and wanted to help Manuela as she processed her feelings, all while making sure nothing *actually* happened (besides the goodnight kiss). I think that Manuela was seeking affirmation and love from Bernburg in part because she just lost her mother and Bernburg was a kind and nurturing woman to her.
The climax happens when Manuela and her peers are celebrating after they just put on a play for the headmistress and her friends. The girls are drinking a boozy punch and getting tipsy together while dancing, cheering and laughing. Manuela decides to make a proclamation of her love for Bernburg and let the girls know that she thinks it might be requited by Bernburg. Just as she is shouting this out for her peers to know — the headmistress walks in. Manuela is swiftly punished and sent to a solitary corridor.
When she wakes, she tells the nurse "I can't even think straight." I chuckled to myself, wondering if that was a sneaky way to let the audience know she was coming out.
As the film comes to a close, you watch Manuela prepare to throw herself off of the stairwell in fear of isolation from her peers and in fear of never seeing Bernburg again. While Bernburg is getting scolded by the headmistresses, she has a telepathic moment with Manuela — which is like the gayest thing ever…and so romantic. I'm pretty sure we've all felt that connection with someone we've loved. Manuela is rescued by her peers who then protest against the headmistress by showing her how unjust she's treating them all. It's a powerful ending and statement to be made.
Fraulein von Bernburg: You must come to your senses. You must recover, whatever it takes.
Manuela: Recover? From what?
Fraulein von Bernburg: You're not allowed to love me… so much.
In 1932, the New York Times reviewed the film and said: "It is actually more of a rap on the knuckles for the militaristic notions than an exposition of unnatural affection."
Which is true. The film made subtle but strong messages of progress and compassion and feminine power. The film has only women actresses and was written by Christa Winsloe, directed by Leontine Sagan with artistic direction from Carl Froelich, who also funded the film. Froelich was the only man involved in the production of this film. That is something that rarely happens in Hollywood today.
This film holds historical importance for so many reasons — it is the first display of lesbian affection on the big screen. It normalizes same-sex attraction and delves into the emotions behind a first love. The snow was starting pile up in my backyard as I shut my laptop — and I found myself feeling a strong sense of appreciation for the history of my community and the women, queers, trans and nonbinary folks who have pushed society forward towards love and compassion for our nuanced experiences.

Thriller in Kayole: Watch how murder suspect was grabbed after a day-long siege
George Charles Olweny was preparing for another day of cat and mouse with police officers, who had been looking for him since January 22, when something caught his attention.
Olweny knew his goose was cooked when five police cars pulled up outside his flat yesterday morning.
Outside, Senior Superintendent Charles Wambugu, the officer commanding the 20 policemen, was certain that all that would take a few minutes. After all, it was one man against the world.
Unknown to the police, the siege on house Number 17 on the 6th floor of a flat in Kayole would not be a simple job.
It seemed to be an easy extraction: In and out.
"Five minutes at most," an officer involved in the siege told The Standard.
Eight hours later, a standoff between the officers and Olweny continued, playing out even on social media, attracting bystanders who were quickly growing into fans and foes of the wanted man.
Never in his wildest dreams had the 36-yer-old thought life would turn out this way. Neighbours say he harboured ambition to grow his wines and spirits shop into a much larger dealership.
Whatever plans he had have however hit a snag. The business he wants to grow will, at least for now, function without a substantive owner.
Investigators say things started to fall apart for Olweny five days ago when his girlfriend, Margaret Muchemi, was found dead in her house. It all looked like an accident, until her remains, charred from the effects of a fire, were discovered in the house, hands tied on the head board of her bed.

After peeping through the window yesterday morning to the sight of dozens of police officers, Olweny added a second padlock to the door, setting the stage for a prolonged hostage negotiation that included cajoling from the police, jeering and cheering from an excited public that was eventually dispersed by teargas fired by police officers.
The extra padlock somewhat complicated the assault on his house. Energised by the second padlock, he shouted down at the officers that he would not surrender. He then fastened the door latch.
The officers stood back, restrategised and made a second assault, this time lobbing teargas into Olweny's house through the windows, and hoping that the acrid smoke would smoke him out. But this, too, failed.
At that point the police decided to negotiate with the man to surrender, but he declined.
Leave building
He demanded that the police first leave the building. Then he promised he'd think about surrendering.
The uniformed officers obliged and moved back. He then opened his door, and realising that the officers were not keeping a close eye, ran up the stairs, into a neighbour's house and straight to the balcony.
It is from this vantage position that the man spent almost six hours threatening to commit suicide if the police did not leave.
It is from the balcony of the corner house that Olweny gave the police a hard time and threatened to jump to his death.

Olweny remained adamant that he would also not surrender as directed by the police. He stood his ground for eight hours.
At around mid-day, it became clear that the drama was not about to end. Police sought the help of firefighters from Njiru.
The area Police boss Charles Wambugu, using a mounted fire engine's ladder, went up to the building but cut short his mission when it became clear that any further approaches by him could have pushed Olweny to plunge to his death.
But an ambulance was on standby, just in case he made good his threat.
The ensuing spectacle attracted quite a crowd. Hundreds of residents who had got wind of the operation milled around the building.
The residents had learnt that police were there to arrest the man accused of killing his former girlfriend and setting her ablaze. Men and women were visibly agitated and wanted the suspect lynched.
At around 1.45pm, the breakthrough for the police came when the officers gained access to the balcony where Olweny was.
Some female officers proved excellent negotiators, eventually convincing him to surrender. But as soon as he showed signs of surrender, the waiting crowd went wild, baying for his blood.
It was as if the public wanted to dish out their own punishment. That moment, they were ready to be judge, jury and executioner.
They had stones, metal bars, machetes… all directed at Olweny.
Defied orders
Police had to lob teargas to disperse the mob that defied orders to leave. "We must deal with him," shouted one youth, armed with a machete.

After lobbing several cans of teargas to disperse the irate youth, police managed to sneak out the suspect into a waiting police car and sped off.
Olweny was bleeding from the neck from a self-inflicted wound. He, however, did not end up in the police cells but was admitted to a hospital in Nairobi, where he will be receiving treatment for the wounds.
DCI officers have since recorded statements from the dead woman's two house helps, who told the police their boss was last seen alive in the company of Olweny.
The duo told police the woman asked them to take a walk in the estate as she held a meeting with her former boyfriend.
When they returned to their house that afternoon, they found their house on fire, and Olweny, according to their statements, was missing.
