Q: Why is Pandas converting datetimes to float in aggregate function Updated Post:
I would like to know why Pandas is transforming a datetime column into a float one.
The code below reproduces the issue I am having.
df = pd.DataFrame(pd.date_range("2012-01-01", periods=12).values.reshape(3,4), columns=list('abcd'))

print "Original:", {col: df[col].dtype for col in df.columns}

df['c'].loc[1] = pd.NaT
df['d'].loc[1] = pd.NaT

df['ab'] = df[['a','b']].min(1)
df['cd'] = df[['c','d']].min(1)

print "New:", {col: df[col].dtype for col in df.columns}

This prints:
Original: {'a': dtype('<M8[ns]'), 'c': dtype('<M8[ns]'), 'b': dtype('<M8[ns]'), 'd': dtype('<M8[ns]')}
New: {'a': dtype('<M8[ns]'), 'c': dtype('<M8[ns]'), 'b': dtype('<M8[ns]'), 'd': dtype('<M8[ns]'), 'cd': dtype('float64'), 'ab': dtype('<M8[ns]')}

Note that column ab is of type dtype('<M8[ns]') but cd is of type dtype('float64').
Why is Pandas changing the type?
Original Post:
I am running very simple code:
x['new1'] = x[['startDate1','stopDate1']].min(1)
x['new2'] = x[['startDate2','stopDate2']].min(1)

Where x looks something like this:
ID         startDate1    stopDate1    startDate2    stopDate2

0          2000-01-01   2000-03-05    2005-01-01   2006-03-05
               ...          ...          ...          ...
40053      1997-01-01   2011-03-05    2012-01-01   2012-03-05

Running x[colName].dtype on all original columns returns dtype('<M8[ns]').
However, x['new1'].dtype does not match x['new2'].dtype where the former is dtype('<M8[ns]') but the latter is dtype('float64').
I've fixed it with this line, but I want to know why this is happening as it makes little sense to me.
x['new2'] = pd.to_datetime(x[['startDate2','stopDate2']].min(1))

There are a lot of rows, so I can't go through all of them. What does this imply about the startDate2 and stopDate2 columns?
Update to Original Post:
The only difference I found between the columns is that the stopDate2 has at least one row with NaT. Removing the NaTs removes the problem, but I can't reproduce it with dummy data.

A: As said in the comments, it's probably a bug, due to the presence of a NaN, in case you wanted to have a work around, you can do:
df[["c", "d"]].min(axis=1).astype("<M8[ns]")

A: Related problem. Using pandas 0.18.1. See that df.timestamp has different types in the two different scenarios:
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(250).reshape(50,5),
                      index=pd.date_range('1/1/2016', periods=50, freq='H' ),
                      columns=list('ABCDE'))
df['timestamp'] = df.index

print(df.timestamp.resample('30min',label='right').last().head(3))
print('==========')
print(df.timestamp.resample('2H',label='right').last().head(3))

output:
2016-01-01 00:30:00    1.451606e+18
2016-01-01 01:00:00             NaN
2016-01-01 01:30:00    1.451610e+18
Freq: 30T, Name: timestamp, dtype: float64
==========
2016-01-01 02:00:00   2016-01-01 01:00:00
2016-01-01 04:00:00   2016-01-01 03:00:00
2016-01-01 06:00:00   2016-01-01 05:00:00
Freq: 2H, Name: timestamp, dtype: datetime64[ns]

Temple Of Literature In Hanoi
Van Mieu- Quoc Tu Giam (Hanoi Temple of Literature) is taken into account one of many high of the historic and exquisite sightseeings of Hanoi.
In contrast to different spiritual temple, Temple of Literature is taken into account to be the primary College of Vietnam. These days, the temple shouldn't be solely a historic attraction but additionally attracts many candidates, college students coming to hope for his or her learning profession.
Based in 1070 by Emperor Ly Thanh Tong, the complicated was initially devoted to honor Confucius (Khong Tu). Afterwards, it grew to become Vietnam's Imperial Academy – a prestigious faculty for high lecturers. College students started enrolling on the Imperial Academy in 1076. As soon as accepted, college students took 3 to 7 years to finish the curriculum, which is undoubtedly influenced by Chinese language literature, poetry and historical past. Students had the chance to sit down the Nationwide Examination after completion and proceed to Royal Examination (which is run by the Emperor himself). Clearly, attending such a prestigious academy is a excessive honor, particularly a number of the most sensible minds in Vietnamese historical past graduated from the celebrated academy. Earlier than 1442, College admission was unique for Royal and noble households. Afterwards, gifted college students from throughout Vietnam headed to review the rules of Confucianism, literature and poetry. In 1484, distinctive students' names, locations of start and educational achievements have been recorded on standing stelae from Emperor Ly Thanh Tong's need. There have been 116 stelae, during which solely 82 ones stay standing the turtle statues.
Temple of Literature consists of 5 courtyards. The primary two courtyards are brimming with gardened panorama, the place students would loosen up underneath massive bushes' shades and manicured lawns. The second holds Khue Van Cac pavilion. Constructed on 4 white stone columns, the picket purple vailion has an elaborate roof with 2 round home windows and a brass bell, which solely rung on auspicious event. Alternatively, the third courtyard hosts the Thien Quang effectively. The courtyard has 2 massive halls, during which shows turtle statues carved out of blue stone, with 1,307 graduates' names and birthplaces from 82 Royal examinations. It's believed that rubbing the heads of the turtles earlier than exams could convey you luck. Nevertheless, the turtles and stelea are actually forbidden to the touch for upkeep objective. Vacationers can discover altars to Confucius and his disciples when wandering to the fourth courtyards. The fifth courtyard is the one space really hosted educational actions of the Imperial Academy. It was not constructed till 1076, when Emperor Ly Thanh Tong commanded. There are lots of cultural occasions and reveals held at this courtyard's corridor for tourism attraction.
Positioned in Dong Da District of Hanoi, Temple of Literature seats in the course of 4 important crossing streets together with Nguyen Thai Hoc, Ton Duc Thang, Van Mieu and Quoc Tu Giam road. Tourists can take bus No. 02, 23,38,25, or 41 to cease close to the temple for a go to. It is best to present respect to the worship place by dressing conservatively. A small entrance payment (about $1) is collected for maintainance.

Liner Notes by Jason Marsalis
In the winter of 2008, I started teaching at my old alma mater arts high school, the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. I was very fortunate to have a class of serious students who were interested in not only playing music but being a musician as their occupation in life. One of those students was bassist Jasen Weaver. After graduating high school, he attended the University of New Orleans and started to work around the city as a musician. I've had the good fortune to hire Weaver on my own shows while his passion for the music was growing. As time went on, Weaver started putting together his own shows and would hire me in return. It was very promising to see him cover music from various composers while developing his own music. It's that time Weaver spent as a bandleader that brings us to this album.
The music contained herein achieves two realities that are difficult today; a working band and the element of swing. The lack of a music community and working (gigging) conditions in today's world makes mentorship from older musicians and working with the same group of musicians every night a very difficult task. The fact that Weaver was able to have a consistent weekly gig and develop music based in the element of swing is against the odds of music today. The result is a band that believes in the music and has a desire to perform it at the highest level. It is those principals that make this album spirited and optimistic with very enjoyable results.
"The Resilient" is a fiery number in which the horn players play smart solos. Instead of trying to rapidly belt out a series of notes, velocity gives way to sustained tones and gives the rhythm section space for interaction. Check out the rhythm section interplay and key modulation behind Steve Lands' solo as a great example. The next song Weaver sets up is "Ordinance", a mellow mood to cool down the fire of the last tune. The melody with its surprising entrance, Lands quoting Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" and the standard "If I Should Lose You", and NOCCA alumnus Shea Pierre showing his virtuosity mixed with blues makes this tune a memorable one.
"Upfront", a tune reminiscent of jazz from the 1980's-90's, showcases the fun upbeat spirit of the band, which expands as a sextet, and its music. This marks the first time that we hear solos from both Weaver and saxophonist Miles Berry. While Weaver plays clear ideas with great intonation, Berry's mature sound, which he had when he was a student at NOCCA, is evident throughout the record.
It's very hard to play a ballad in this age of fast paced technology. On "Curtains", the soloists take their time and match the mood of the tune with a delicate touch. "Feature Steve", which goes without saying, was written with Lands in mind and he paces his solo that matches the tune while Oscar Rossignoli plays a memorable one as well. Medium tempos is yet another challenge and one that Weaver takes on with the tune "341 North", dedicated to his college dormitory at the University of New Orleans. It describes a place in which anything can happen at anytime. Even though this tune uses a standard AABA form, the number of measures is anything but. With it's 11-11-8-11 bar form, it's challenge is really compounded when Lands and drummer A.J. Hall trade a mix of 4 and 3 bar phrases. It's unpredictable ending definitely depicts the reality of college. Of course, because life is fast paced doesn't mean that fast tempos are easy either. "Can't Get Me" proves this point as Rossignoli and Berry are given the challenge of stretching out over a 12 bar blues form. The melody is a modern take on blues with it's complex melody/rhythm interaction, different chords outside of the I-IV-I blues progression, and the 16-bar form differing from the 12-bar solo form.
Weaver also uses different types of grooves to showcase other rhythms that can be brought into jazz. "Alter Ego" with its use of Brazilian samba, "Uptown Touchdown" with its mix of swing, drum 'n bass, and 1970's jazz-fusion energy, and "Chillin' In My Robe on New Year's Day" could easily be an R&B ballad of yesterday and today. "The Voscoville" takes us to the modern second-line parades of New Orleans with the brass bands and the people dancing behind them, i.e. the second line.
To close the album, Weaver chose a classic standard that was popular before the musicians on the album were even born. While there's a debate about the relevance of jazz standards, Weaver's arrangement of "Savoy" shows how one can take an early 20th Century tune and update it into the 21st Century. While changing the groove, harmony, and tempo, the band's personality still comes through on this 80 plus year old tune while sounding like 2017. There's also a nice use of a quote from a solo taken by pianist Ahmad Jamal on his 1958 recording of "Savoy".
In closing, this is a very spirited album that doesn't take itself too seriously while presenting an enjoyable experience for the listener. This is something that today's music needs more of.

It was a record fundraising year for the 18th annual Delray Beach Home Tour hosted by the Achievement Centers for Children & Families Foundation on March.
More than 650 folks visited eight homes with Intracoastal views and eclectic art collections.
Total, $145,000 was raised for the Achievement Centers for Children & Families programs and services providing early education and childcare to low-income children and families in Delray Beach.
The Home Tour began in 2002 with board members Anne Bright and Barbara Murphy leading the program. The Bright residence was featured as one of this year's homes. This year's returning Chair people were Kari Shipley and Noreen Payne, both long-time supporters of the Achievement Centers.
Since its inception, the event showcases a different Delray Beach neighborhood. The 2019 event was held in the Seagate neighborhood. Everything from modern contemporary to stunning waterfront estates, the houses catered to everyone's tastes and interests. Molly's Trolleys transported guests to the homes, and to the catered waterfront luncheon that was provided by Carefree Catering. The event also offered a silent auction.
The Delray Beach Home tour also kicked off the "Spring to ACCF Tour Challenge" during which a donor has offered to donate $100 to ACCF for every person who attends a free 40-minute tour on 4/27, 4/29, or 5/3.

AP 0570: How Do I Create Video Tutorials?
AskPat 570 Episode Transcript
Pat Flynn: Hey, what's up, everybody? Pat Flynn here. Brand new week, brand new episodes of AskPat here for you. This is episode 570. Thank you so much for joining me today.
All right, here's today's question from Tammy.
Tammy: Hi, Pat. My name is Tammy Adams, and I have a website I've been building that is dedicated to helping local small business owners. It is called TrainingForSmallBusinessOwners.com, where I am working and providing tools and resources to help our local small business owners. My question is, I absolutely love your tutorials on how you were able to use Keynote, record your voice-over, and write on the screen, and it all looks so professional and seamless. My goal is to create training materials that I hope to look as amazing as yours. I am using PowerPoint, but I am going to assume the process is very similar. Is it possible for you to share with us how you make these amazing tutorials, and what tools you use to capture the presentation, your voice, as well as write on the screen? I really appreciate that you're always willing to help us all out. Thanks again, Pat.
Pat Flynn: Hey, Tammy. Thank you so much for the question today. I really appreciate it. So, really quick and simple: the video screen recordings with my voice over it. One of the best things ever. It definitely has an amazing response from the audience. I always get an amazing response with those kinds of videos, and they're also relatively easy to do. The nice thing about it was I actually started doing that because I didn't want to put my face on the camera, and I know that's why a lot of people don't want to do videos because they don't want to put their face on the camera. Well, you don't have to. You can just record what's on your screen and talk about what you're doing. I think it's super handy; it's very helpful. Also, you're providing a lot of value. And if you share these on YouTube, you're going to get a lot of shares; your audience is going to love you for it. You embed them in your blog post, too, similar to what I did at PodcastingTutorial.com. That's one example you can all check out. And you could also put it in a course, and if these courses are there and they have this kind of video quality to them and it is very professional, you'll be able to charge more, people are going to have more value coming out of it, you're going to get some great testimonials, so on and so forth.
So, I have a challenge for you, Tammy, and for everybody else out there listening. Try to do one of these screen recording videos, if you can. It doesn't even need to be more than a couple minutes long, although I will say that when you start this process it's not as easy as it sounds, because there is a lot of things moving at the same time—and I'll go through that in just a minute. I will also say that it's very easy for you to keep talking. You might feel uncomfortable with talking and sharing your voice out there, but you'll see that when you start this process, it's actually going to be quite challenging to keep it short. But that's where a lot of the effectiveness comes in, is when you optimize these videos to just say exactly what you need to say, go through these processes, people are going to love it. They're going to enjoy it. And that's the big challenge. I will say that, although you will struggle in the beginning when you do this—I did—it's not going to take you very long after you do a few to get the process down, and it's going to become much easier. So, like anything that looks cool, it's going to take some time for you to get into it.
So, how do you do this? Well, there's different software out there that can record your screen. There's actually one that you can do it for free: QuickTime, I believe has the capability of screen capturing, although it's not going to give you a lot of the options that some of these other tools that I'm going to mention will give you, that I would actually recommend instead. So if you're going to be serious about doing this, I would recommend using a tool if you're on a Mac; use ScreenFlow. Again, it's called ScreenFlow. If you are on a PC, use Camtasia Studios. Camtasia Studios. And they'll run you anywhere between $99 and $199, I think. I don't know the prices at this point. But it varies between $100 and $200. But like I said, if you write it off and also if you use it, it's going to be definitely worth your time. So check that out. Again, ScreenFlow if you're on Mac and Camtasia Studios for PC.
Now you also asked, Tammy, about how I am able to write on the screen. There's a couple tools you can use to do that. If you're recording yourself on PowerPoint, you can also write on top of that. If you are in a particular slide, for example, you can use the pen tool and draw around things and then if you want to clear it, just undo what you just did. You don't necessarily have the capabilities like you would have on some other platforms, and mainly I'm talking about Mac. Because Mac has some special applications that you can use. If you're on a Mac and you want to draw on your screen, on top of anything, you can use a tool called OmniDazzle. That's O-M-N-I dazzle.com. Or I don't even think that's a dot-com actually, just look it up on Google, OmniDazzle, and you'll find it there. That's a tool that allows you to draw on your screen using your mouse. I also have a pen that helps me; however, that's a Wacom tablet, and so you can check that out on my resource page at SmartPassiveIncome.com/resources too; I have that link too there, and that is my affiliate link, just so you know.
So those help me with that part of the presentation, the actual drawing part. But you don't need that. I mean, that's actually the most difficult part, is coordinating the screen recording with your voice and the pen. And in the beginning, again, it's very difficult to do, because as you're writing you're going to fumble your words, and as you're talking, the writing looks bad. It's going to be difficult. So don't necessarily think like you have to do that right from the start. What I would do: bare bones, record your screen, and if you're doing some tutorial on some sort of software you can just record yourself going through that software. But if you want to record yourself doing slides, you just record your keynote presentation or your PowerPoint presentation. So you set up your slides ahead of time, you hit "record," then you run through the slides, and you just talk while you're going through them as if you're giving a presentation. And then in post-edit, which is nice about these different softwares that QuickTime doesn't give you, is you can edit, you can splice, you can take out the parts that you screw up on, and that's the other thing I would recommend. As you're recording this, don't think like you have to get it all in one take. And actually I would not recommend doing that. You're going to do it a hundred times before you get it right on one take. Just finish up a part, then just take a breather, then get ready for the next part as you're still recording. Don't stop recording; just record all the way through. And then before you start your next part, just do a little click or clap or [snapping, clicking noises] or something like that. And that will signify with the WAV form that that creates, in the editing process, that that's where the new part begins. So you can use that to your advantage while editing. And again these softwares, especially ScreenFlow, they make it really easy. I actually use ScreenFlow for all my video editing, not just what I record on my screen. But any time I do any video, it's even easier than iMovie. So again, that's ScreenFlow, and Camtasia Studios, and that's what I would do.
So just, again, one recording all the way through, no matter how many takes it takes, and then you can just take the best ones that you do and put them together and then you can add some effects on top of them if you want. You also want to make sure you have a good microphone too if you're doing this, because video is not just video. It's video and audio, so have a mic set up. Your basic internal mic is okay; it'll work in the beginning, but I would highly recommend getting a more pro mic. You don't even need to spend hundreds of dollars on one like I did for my podcast. You can pick up a mic called the ATR-2100, or 2-1-0-0. That's by Audio-Technica. You can get it on Amazon for $60–80 and it plugs right in to your USB, and it sounds amazing. It sounds almost like this mic that you're listening to right now. So again, that's the Audio-Technica ATR-2100.
So your voice: that will be taken care of. Your videos: ScreenFlow or Camtasia Studios. That's taken care of. And then editing, that's what that software does and then you can export it directly to YouTube or export it as a video, plop it in wherever, upload it to your video hosting company for your course, and you're all good from there.
So, Tammy, thank you so much for the question. I appreciate you, and I wish you all the best of luck. Thank you again for sending in the question. We're going to send you an AskPat t-shirt for having your question featured here on the show. I also want to say that everybody else out there who has a question–all you have to do is head on over to AskPat.com and you can ask right there on that page. Big shout-out to SpeakPipe.com, which is the software and the application I use to collect those voice messages that I can then drop into these files to create AskPat. So again that's SpeakPipe.com.
And finally, I love to end with a quote as I always do here on AskPat, and that quote to finish off the day, is from Albert Einstein. He says, "Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions." Boom. Cheers. Take care, and I'll see you the next episode of AskPat. Bye.
Today's question comes from Tammy, who asks about the video tutorials I have on Smart Passive Income. Which tools do I use to create these tutorials? Tammy's site is trainingforlocalsmallbusinessowners.com.
For creating screen recording videos, I recommend using Screenflow or Camtasia. For drawing in Mac programs, I use OmniDazzle and a Wacom tablet.

A high-end investigative report has revealed that despite decades of operating in PNG, logging companies barely declare profits.
Furthermore, the report reveals an odd financial contradiction where loggers have reported doubling their losses while continuing to increase their exports of tropical timber.
In a comprehensive report furnished by renowned international researching group The Oakland Institute, new evidence of financial misreporting and grand scale tax evasion in the PNG logging industry have been unearthed.
Titled "The Great Timber Heist-Continued: Tax Evasion and Illegal Logging in PNG", the institute makes public a host of new case studies that have been ascertained through the study of sixteen subsidiary logging exporters.
Following a 2016 report of the same nature which alleged that financial misreporting by foreign firms resulted in nonpayment of hundreds of millions of kina in taxes, the new report reveals an apparent worsening of this pattern in recent years.
According to financial records, the 16 studied subsidiaries of a logger that court injunctions hinder us from naming, have doubled their financial losses in just six years while increasing their exports of tropical timber by over 40 per cent.
Policy Director of the Oakland Institute and author of the report Mr Frédéric Mousseau told this paper that it was highly unlikely that companies reporting consistent losses year after year would increase their production.
"Despite decades of operations in PNG, logging companies barely declare any profits. The official tax filings of most firms report losses year after year.
"How is it then possible for these companies to still remain in business if they don't make profits? Any other business under such circumstances would have shut down by now," said Mr Mousseau.
The report said that the more these subsidiaries harvest and export timber, the more money they declare in losses.
Financial records show that the continued ill payment of income tax due to the declaring of consistent yearly losses allows them to accumulate an astounding volume of tax credits which makes it easier to avoid paying income tax in future.
The report also found another strange anomaly in its analyses of the progressive tax rate on log exports introduced in 2017 to combat tax evasion.
It states that the new tax has not brought the PNG forest industry to "the brink of disaster," resulting in "vanishing" tax revenue for the country as was claimed by government skeptics in early 2018, reporting the contrary with the tax increase having generated additional fiscal revenue for the country while contributing to an overall drop in exports in 2017.
Mr Mousseau however, added that the tax reform does not appear to be enough of a deterrent to significantly affect logging operations in the country adding that PNG has doubled its exports of tropical timber over the past ten years and remains the world's largest exporter.
After the decline throughout much of 2017, the volume of logs exported returned to their upward trend in October. To date, the abolished special agriculture and business leases which added 5.5 million hectares to the 10 million hectares remains a mystery.


From Chinese teacher Dr. Bao: Fifth grade students have been enjoying learning about what Chinese people eat. In class they compared the differences between Chinese food and American food, then they had a hands-on opportunity to make Chinese Jiaozi. They enjoyed eating the dumplings they made in the next day's class.

Raised by wolves near Keno, Yukon, Everett began his career tattooing walrus hides, which he then sold as raincoats to tourists. After being shut down by the Canadian government, he was institutionalized, lobotomized, and had his personality annihilated through shock treatment. Because of this trauma, the idea of becoming an illustrator seemed reasonable. With this goal in mind, he backpacked southward across the taiga, hitchhiked the prairies, and rode a toboggan through the Canadian shield, finally reaching the belching, smoky mass of Toronto in the spring of ought seven. He currently rides the bus, as he can't quite figure out how to exit.

The commercial banks of the country have united to form a consortium in the form of a company called Loss Data Consortium (Cordex). Cordex would be collecting data related to frauds and security risk. The initiative of this new company has been taken by Indian Banks' Association.
The company would operate by first collecting historical data of all member banks related to issues where banks have faced operational risk.
The new company would be owned by as many as 13 banks with each bank having ownership of around 1 crore. Banks such as State Bank of India, ICICI Bank, Union Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda and Canara Bank, will be equity holders in the new company.
Banks have now assigned capital on various risks like credit risk, market risk and operational risk. While the extent of capital to be set aside for credit and market risks has been prescribed by RBI, banks have to decide on operational risk.
The new company Cordex will have loss of data, which is one aspect of operational risk, as a focus area. However, it will not disclose the identity of bank (that provide data as input) in their analysis.

Q: Writing a long array into a CSV column Currently I wish to create a CSV dataset for use later on (as memory issues prevent other things), with three columns: id, category, signal.
ID and category are both integers while signal is a float32 array with length ~10001 and shape ~(10001, 401) for most cases.
I can create a dataframe for each of the samples easily as follows:
pd.DataFrame([{'id': i, 'category': y, 'signal': signal}])
However when calling to_csv('../dataset.csv', mode='a', header=False, index=False) it produces the output:

What's the Worst Rhyme in a Bob Dylan Song?
Post subject: What's the Worst Rhyme in a Bob Dylan Song?
OK, so I think it's safe to say we all think Bob is a brilliant songwriter. But even geniuses have their less-than-stellar moments. One thing that really annoys me is a rhyme that seems forced, or just plain corny. My question is: what do you think is the worst rhyme in a Bob Dylan song? My pick has to be Winterlude/Dude .
Post subject: Re: What's the Worst Rhyme in a Bob Dylan Song?
I actually love that song, but yes he usually comes up with better rhymes than that.
He was the brother that you never had.
Gotta disagree on spirit. That always gets the crowd going.
Yeah, you may be right.
Wiggle, Wiggle and Handy Dandy are beautiful, fun, and charming in every way... Brilliantly written diddies that you can sing at the top of your lungs with your little children. You certainly can't say that about The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll.
You always responded when I needed your help.
Maybe I'm just an idiot but what qualifies a rhyme as "good" or "bad"? Does it depend on how contrived it seems?
All these are great. What the hell is wrong with them? Jeeze.
What are the "rules" of a good vs bad rhyme? I'm mystified.
there are zero good rhymes in Nashville Skyline Rag.
Always been one of my favourites . . .
I like the bolded one personally.
Wiggle, Wiggle and Handy Dandy are definitely corny, but I think I'd agree with UP that they're both charming in their own way. Clearly Bob didn't set out to write his greatest songs of his career there, he just wanted to write something that would make people smile.
I think he pulled off what he set out to do.
is his best rhyme, or his worst. Can go either way!
I'd say this one is not a rhyme at all, and only Dylan's mastery of the art of singing turns it into one. I would also say that there are certain "bad" rhymes that are saved by being knowingly crass: the "winterlude/dude" and the whole of Wiggle Wiggle spring to mind. As for the worst, I think I'd have to go with "kelp/help".
This one always makes me cringe. Some other shockers include 'wonder' and 'plunder' in Love Sick...ruins the entire song for me. And 'vacant lot'/'forget me not' in Senor.
But surely the worst ever is 'juiced in it'/'used to it' in Like a Rolling Stone. Absolutely awful rhyme! And to think some folks think Dylan deserves the Nobel Prize for Literature. The horror! the horror!
But I know that I can't move.
Location: In a tent outside big pink.
If not for you, maybe?
Dylan rhymes badly very well.
In nursery rhymes often there are rhymes for rhyme's sake, and Dylan uses that form for Wiggle, Wiggle and Rainy Day Women, both fun ways to kick off an album.
In Man Gave Names To All The Animals it's a major part of the song's charm that the rhymes are incredibly contrived, and that the final, naming rhyme in each verse is almost unbearably inevitable. It also finishes with a powerful mind rhyme, so obvious that he can leave it unsaid so it says more.

ManU 0 Chelsea 0: The Very Essence of the Modern Game
by Paul Gardner , Aug 27, 2013
By Paul Gardner
You can be pretty sure that the sort of game churned out yesterday by Manchester United and Chelsea is not what NBC is looking for.
Rather odd, that. Because the game highlighted all the most prominent features of the sport of soccer as currently played at the top level. Money, for start -- two of the world's richest teams on display. With a money-inspired sub-text: how much money will Chelsea have to pay to lure Wayne Rooney away from ManU? And because of that, the money-inspired sub-sub-text: given the tug-of-war between the two clubs, would Rooney even play in this game?
After money, we have: the coaches. Much of the hype during the build up to the game concerned the two coaches, both new to their clubs -- David Moyes at ManU, Jose Mourinho returning to Chelsea after a five-season absence. OK, the hype can be blamed partly on the media, determined to sensationalize the battle between the morose-looking Moyes and the melodramatic Mourinho.
Consider the opponents: David Moyes -- a boring man who has, for 11 years, been coaching an occasionally less-than boring Everton that failed to win anything during that period. And Jose Mourinho who has won plenty, but not lately, fresh from a contentious flop of a season with Real Madrid, a childish showoff who likes to play equally childish mind-games with referees and opposing coaches. You might find it hard to envisage how this game could be turned into, could be sold as, a Moyes vs Mourinho epic. You would be right.
We didn't get an epic. We got a thundering bore. From these two much-respected and certainly much-hyped coaches, we got a thoroughly tedious, unadventurous 0-0 tie. NBC commentator Arlo White described it as "intriguing," which was a pretty astute verbal way of avoiding the unacceptable (for the television mind, that is) truth that NBC was transmitting boredom. Two hours of it.
Considering the mountain of talent -- world-class attacking players -- that festoons the rosters of both teams, what was the trouble here? Briefly: the coaches. Not because of all the hype that surrounded them -- that is merely an irritation, though a highly visible one. No -- at last we have to look at what happened on the field, which was not much -- an overall torpidity for which we can certainly blame the coaches.
Well, yes, mostly, but also no, slightly. We can blame the money and the modern game again. With so much money at stake, it is no doubt unreasonable to expect coaches to do anything other than protect their jobs, and to play it cautiously. This is particularly true at the top clubs, and Moyes and Mourinho laid it on with a trowel.
Mourinho sent out a formation without a center forward, arguably without a full-time forward at all. With ManU as the home team, Moyes evidently felt obliged to do some attacking, but it was rarely sustained and, let's face it, rather easily dealt with by Chelsea's defensive formation.
Yawn, yawn, and yawn again. Then, when the merciful final whistle sounds, the modern game strikes again. The moment arrives when the coaches come on TV and tell us how great, or at least how interesting, it all was. And so the modern game, a brainless, cumbersome creature that traps everyone involved with it, forces the coaches to stand up before a microphone and try to provide vaguely relevant answers to largely irrelevant questions.
Poor coaches -- except that they have been going through this charade for quite a while now, and have become experts at supplying answers that go way beyond "vaguely relevant" and soar off into the solidly fantasist. Replaying an 4-0 loss into a game that "we dominated," hammering the referee, claiming non-existent penalties, lamenting the red cards that weren't given to the opposition, and whatever.
So no sympathy to the coaches, they join in too wholeheartedly with the boring intricacies of the modern game, with their negative tactics and their silly-clever attempts to justify them.
The players, too have bought into this corrosive nonsense. So have the TV commentators -- I have again to say, it's as though there's no choice here. The modern game gives us anemic action that needs a blizzard of words to cover its inadequacy -- hence the euphemisms, the "lack of clear-cut chances," and the supposedly positive "there was a lot of respect between the two clubs."
To say nothing of "We both wanted to win, and both did not want to lose," -- that comes from Mourinho. Of course that sounds sturdy and it contains a tangled truth, but it is still an empty utterance. Do we need to be told that neither team wanted to lose? But we might be seeking to know why the coaches and the players should choose to cheat the fans and the viewers out of a game worthy of the occasion, and one worthy of the many skillful players who could -- we know this -- have given us something so much better. Of course we didn't get anything like an explanation. Mourinho had the final self-satisfied platitude -- "tactically it was a good match."
We might also be wondering what on earth is wrong with this sport when two of its strongest -- dare I say best ? -- teams can produce, in a season that is barely one week old, such a frightened, timid mouse of game?
If it wasn't aware before, NBC should now know the nature of the game it is embracing. It suffers from self-inflation. Maybe that is true of all major league sports. But soccer seems uniquely vulnerable to distortion by money. The effects are felt, deeply, on the field, right there where the ball rolls. Where we can see -- as we did yesterday -- the truth of the matter. That soccer scares itself by being overhyped, overpriced, and overcoached. And when it is scared, soccer is all too likely to be underperformed.

Good points, and was generally thinking the same thing while watching. Would also like to see some articles on how the 'laws of the game' don't help soccer's case either. Offsides: even is not on! The law needs to be changed so that if any part of an offenders body is in line with the last defender, he is on. Take a page from NFL forward pass rule, or the hockey blue line...if a player is 'on the line' he is ok. If goals and out of bounds require the ball to be entirely over the line, offsides should require a player to be entirely 'over the line'. Not to mention linesmen are typically so bored, they feel inclined to call offsides too tightly, almost always giving the benefit to the defensive side. As far as I am concerned, 'even is off'!
Substitutes: Why only 3? Half of a team sits on the sideline, knowing they aren't going to play. Ridiculous. I am not suggesting free flowing substitutions like hockey, but possibly allow one sub for each player starting a game? Something needs to be done to get the entire 'team' involved. Soccer is a taxing game with many injuries. More than 3 subs need to be allowed to prevent games from grinding to a halt with injuries and tired players. Some of these 'laws' can, and should, be changed without hurting the game or its history. They would probably even, dare say, improve it.
Ivan Mark Radhakrishnan, August 27, 2013 at 8:17 a.m.
COMPETITION-MANIPULATION + MATCH-FIXING / DISGUSTING! Both Clubs went out with the 'instruction', 'the least that happens here is a NIL – NIL goal. And the players conspired to do exactly that.
Manchester United and Chelsea knew a defeat on Match Day 2 / 38 would spell disaster for both Managers.
Now you know why I have been saying for years, 'THE CORRECT POINTS SYSTEM is ZERO POINTS for a ZERO / ZERO result and Plus O.5 Points for the Team SCORING THE FIRST GOAL!
I wonder how the English Premier League is going to manage their FIRST BLATANT CASE OF MATCH-FIXING and COMPETITION-MANIPULATION ALL IN ONE!
It is bad enough when the Asian syndicates are 'working' with Wilson Raj Perumal, Michel Platini and others to match-fix ……… but when two opposing managers EPL managers have 'THE SAME INCLINATION', that is a disaster.
Ok, when does Richard Scudamore or Greg Dykes punish David Moyes, Jose Mourinho and all the Manchester United and Chelsea players involved in this MATCH-FIX?
BLATANT MATCH-FIXING and COMPETITION-MANIPULATION! SHOCKING! DISGUSTING! THEFT
Match-Fixing = THEFT. A NIGHT OF SHOCKING SHAME / Monday August 26 2013
When do DAVID MOYES and JOSE MOURINHO get CHARGED with MATCH-FIXING and COMPETITION-MANIPULATION?
Team 'instructions' : 'DON'T LOSE 6 POINTERS, DRAW THEM'. And then we'll get the points off the minnows. THEFT!
Kent James, August 27, 2013 at 9:31 a.m.
While I don't disagree with PG's analysis, I am surprised he didn't mention the controversial interaction between Lampard's arm and the ball inside the penalty area. As there is pressure on teams not to lose, there is also pressure on referees not to decide the game. A pk unjustly awarded generates much more criticism than an unpunished foul worthy of a pk. But each has the same value (a goal). And certainly, had the pk been awarded, the nature of the game would have changed (probably for the better, as Chelsea would be forced to attack more). But the incident with Lampard does highlight the need for clarification of the rule. I'd say at least 60% of referees would have awarded a pk; heck, even this same referee called Oscar (?) for handling about 5 minutes later on a play in which his arm was much closer to his body. And while there will always be gray areas, FIFA needs to reduce the amount of obscurity in this area. In Lampard's case, though his arm was away from his body, it was not in an unnatural position (it was out for balance), so I'm okay with the ref not calling it. But FIFA should clarify the rule; as long as a player's arms are in a natural position, and the ball strikes them, it should be no foul (no different than striking the player in the chest).
ROBERT BOND, August 27, 2013 at 9:34 a.m.
& such lousy officiating! Evra got jobbed, should been a red card on the player, think it was Ferdinand, who got away with sticking his boot high up on a thigh-if the refs erred on the side of the foul with more PKs & DFKs, there would be more scoring & less brutal challenges, even more so if more sides had to play 10......
agree, Kent, your post came up while I was typing, letting the players play is not an excuse for the D to try to get away with stuff-at this level, the players should be athletic enough to be twisting around on close block attempts..
Bob Escobar, August 27, 2013 at 10 a.m.
I predict a longgggggggg season for all the EPL teams playing in the Champions league this coming season, very longggggggg....the "special one" Mou, will be the star of the EPL league this season, with his moaning, cheap acting on the sidelines, his stupid childlike behavior during post game interviews, etc etc.....the press will be attacking him from all angles, Chelsea owner will be watching games with a bag on his head....the EPL is falling behind the German, Spanish and Italian leagues, in skills, ball possession, creativity, you name it...sadly, but true.
Albert Harris, August 27, 2013 at 10:01 a.m.
If we're going to allow players to extend their arms out for 'balance' as far as Lampard did on that play, I predict ever defender in England is soon going to resemble a berserk stork on any pass into the box. I don't like Man U but that was about as clear cut a PK as you're likely to see. I'd say 60% of referees calling it is low, Much more likely to be 80 or 90%. Kent's point is well taken though about timid referees hesitate to call PKs because they don't want to decide the game, thereby, paradoxically, deciding the game.
David V, August 27, 2013 at 10:12 a.m.
Paul said "...when two of its strongest -- dare I say best ? -- teams ..." Paul, you dare not say that, should you say that, you would lose respect, credibility. There of course is a simple answer.. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona... that's why. By the way, it is inconceivable to me why, after seeing the antics of a thug for 3 years at the club of the 20th century, coercing many of the world's best to be despicable cutthroats, and wedging himself into, and attempting to destroy the world's greatest team ever, by wedging himself between those he managed, and those who secretly desired he could have managed... it is inconceivable that the blues from London would desire to have such a repugnant character, "The Especially Repugnant One" for a manager. It speaks volumes to me about the Chelsea management... unless of course they realize the error of their ways and run him out of town faster than Madrid did!
Millwall America, August 27, 2013 at 10:22 a.m.
Before we get too over the top, this was the first scoreless draw at Old Trafford in 4 years. So rather than being "the essence of the modern game", perhaps this match was just the understandable if disappointing consequence of a nervous new coach (Moyes) plus a visiting coach who was happy to get a point away at the home of the reigning champions. Demanding changes to the points system or the offside rule just because Old Trafford saw its first scoreless draw *in 77 games* seems like it might be a bit of an overreaction.
Ivan Mark Radhakrishnan, August 27, 2013 at 10:29 a.m.
VULGAR. OBSCENE. Blatant MATCH-FIXING.
Both David Moyes and Jose Mourinho and their on-field MATCH-FIXERS should be charged with the crimes of MATCH-FIXING and COMPETITION-MANIPULATION
Both Clubs went out with 'instructions', 'TO DRAW THE MATCH AT THE VERY LEAST'.
And a ZERO / ZERO FIX is the result.
Both match-fixers were 'happy' with 'the result' and hyped-up the crime by making-out that their FIXERS had played well.
THIS WAS ANOTHER FOOTBALL SET-UP
ROBERT BOND, August 27, 2013 at 10:32 a.m.
Ivan, calm down-it's only a game. Didn't lose a bet, did you?
Charles O'Cain, August 27, 2013 at 10:44 a.m.
Spot on, Millwall. I did not find the match to be boring at all. For an early season encounter, I thought the play (especially of Man United) was at a rather high level, though the defensive Chelsea setup was always likely to inhibit scoring by either team (did Lampard, Chelsea's all-time leading scorer, even make it into the attacking half during the first 45 min?). And with a timid ref failing to award the handball PK, there was nothing to force Chelsea out of its shell. As for scoring, I don't think there is any published correlation between number of goals scored and popularity (measured any way you want - attendance, TV money, Ad money, followers on Twitter, etc). Those calling for wholesale changes in the Laws are seriously misguided, and for their own personal satisfaction should perhaps choose another sport (or league) to watch rather than messing with "mine".
Fine with me, Charles-I'm a Bayern fan. Our fans get mad at low scoring. Believe we were only asking about enforcing the rules on risky challenges & hand balls....
Dan Phillips, August 27, 2013 at 2:09 p.m.
The game needs to move into the 21st Century. Why do they allow a sub with 30 seconds left in game? Why do players walk off when subbed instad of jogging? The referee needs to stop that stalling. Stop the clock. But he does not. We have modern electronics. Clocks can be stopped when there is no action on the field, subs, injuries etc. Yet they never do. They just approximate. And it is always never enough. Also, coaches rather than emphasizing defense so much, and not to lose, should emphasize, just score more. More offense. That would make soccer more interesting to the American fan! Yesterday's game was colosal bore, like Paul Gardner said. I agree completely!
Charles O'Cain, August 27, 2013 at 2:16 p.m.
No problem whatsoever with rule enforcement, Robert, and I agree scoring opportunities would increase if there was less defensive (and offensive) thuggery. But I don't think soccer has to "borrow" from NFL/NHL/NBA/MLB to gain popularity in this country or in any other ... it's doing well enough on its own.
Bobby Bluntz, August 27, 2013 at 2:54 p.m.
To the comment about offside, even is of course now on, if any part of the player that can score is off, he's off. Why change that? I'm also pretty sure that the ARs get it right just about every time which is usually varified by replay. It's actually pretty amazing how good most of them are at it. I also would argue that when they are mistaken, it's probably more often that an offside goal is allowed than the "bored" AR just deciding to raise a flag so he doesn't fall asleep. Give me a break bro!
Kent James, August 27, 2013 at 3:37 p.m.
Bobby, you're right about the ARs. At that level, they are about as focused as anyone can be (I guarantee they're not bored); I've been an AR on lower division professional games in the US, and even at that level, the speed of the players, and the fact that a lot of forwards consciously spend a lot of time in an offside position (because it allows them to be out of sight of the defenders; they try to get back onside just prior to the ball being played), makes that one of the most difficult jobs in officiating. As for Lampard's handling of the ball, while "the special one" encourages me to cheer against all Chelsea, I think the spirit of the game is that people should not be punished for having arms, they should only be punished if they try to use those arms to block the ball. And I don't think Lampard was trying to block the ball. So I think the rule should be interpreted that any time the hand moves to strike the ball, it's a foul (not particularly controversial). And any time the arms are in a natural position and the ball strikes the arms, it should not be a foul. And it is natural when lunging forward (or doing a slide tackle) for the arms to be away from the body, and if they are in that position and the ball strikes them, it should not be a foul. As one of the commentators suggested, players should not be forced to try to play soccer with their arms pinned to their sides.
Modify or get rid of offside altogethter. Just come back and play defense like in other sports. It is a stupid antiquated rule. I would love to see 8-7.6-5 or 5-4 games. Instead of boring 0-0, 1-0, 0r 2-1. Getting rid of the offside rule would be great for offensive soccer. As well as grow the sport in offensive minded America even faster!
Charles O'Cain, August 28, 2013 at 8:16 a.m.
Why stop there, Dan? Let's have a shot clock. Let's have a PK for every foul in the offensive half (or maybe "one and one" after five fouls each half). Lets eliminate passing back into the defensive half. Let's have a instant replay challenges, TV timeouts. Let's stop the clock every time the ball is out of bounds, and after every foul. Let's have "playoffs" (wait ... MLS already does that). With just a few of these "improvements", soccer might truly become the beautiful game the world could love (as they love all other things from the USA, like McDonalds, KFC and Starbucks). Or maybe you could switch back to Basketball for your viewing enjoyment.
Well said Charles. I've never understood the mindset that a soccer game has to have lots of goals to be exciting. Maybe it's just not the right sport for some people (sadly that often appears to include Mr. Gardner).
Ramon Creager, August 28, 2013 at 10:36 p.m.
We don't need gimmicks. People who call for the end of the offside rule don't know the rule, or the game. Gardner is right. There is too much money. It makes big teams stockpile big players, keeping them out of the hands of more modest clubs, and keeping them on the bench. And with so much at stake it makes coaches too timid. What in the world was Juan Mata doing on the bench, pray tell? He was the best reason to watch Chelsea under Benitez. Well, I suppose the Chelsea faithful got what they wanted, their Precious back. Ugh. They deserve each other. The end result of all this is bores all-around: 0-0 when the big boys meet, 5-0 when they crush the little guys. And the little guys, stripped of their best players, aren't any fun to watch either. UEFA needs to get a clue, and institute *real* financial fair play.

The Hispanic Vote
Much has been said about the importance of the Hispanic vote.
Some Republican strategists say that for the GOP to be competitive in future Presidential elections that they have to capture about 40% of this fastest growing minority group.
President George W. Bush, who spoke a bit of Spanish, had a strategy to reach out to Hispanic voters and actually hit that 40% number in the 2004 election.
But it has been a bad couple of years for the Republicans when it comes to the Hispanic vote.
As a Pew survey points out, "Some 57% of Hispanic registered voters now call themselves Democrats or say they lean to the Democratic Party, while just 23% align with the Republican Party -- meaning there is now a 34-percentage-point gap in partisan affiliation among Latinos. In July 2006, the same gap measured just 21 percentage points -- whereas back in 1999, it had been 33 percentage points."
The debate over President Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomajor, may make that trend even more pronounced.
What has caused this collapse of Republican support in the Hispanic community?
According to surveys, hard-line opposition to illegal immigration is the big reason for the slide. Again, according to Pew, "By 41% to 14%, Hispanic registered voters say the Democrats rather than the Republicans are the party doing the better job of dealing with illegal immigration… Immigration has become a more important issue to Latinos since the last election. Some 79% of Hispanic registered voters now say it is an "extremely" or "very" important issue in the upcoming presidential race; up from 63% who said the same thing in June 2004."
The Hispanic community is no monolith. Cubans vote differently than Mexicans. Dominicans have different concerns than Venezuelans. Puerto Ricans don't have the same political impulses as El Salvadorans.
But they all have a desire to be respected. They share a similar language. They all have come to America to help their families have a better life. But many of them have loved ones that they have left back at home.
George Bush understood all of that. He looked at the Hispanic community as an opportunity to get votes, not as a threat to American independence. He viewed Hispanics as hard-working Americans worthy of respect. And as a result, he got a pretty big percentage of their votes.
Unfortunately, the party doesn't seem to have President Bush's sensitivity to the Hispanic community. The immigration debate at times took a racist undertone that turned off many potential voters in that community.
And now, we have Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich who seem to want to dig the hole deeper with this vital voting bloc.
Newt is done running for office and Rush has never run for office, so their comments are notable only in how destructive they are for the party. Keep in mind, it was Rush Limbaugh (and Lou Dobbs) who worked hard against an immigration bill that would have fixed our immigration laws and taken that issue off the table for the next election.
The irony in all of this is that it was the Democrats who pulled out all of the stops when it came to stopping the first Hispanic Supreme Court nominee. Democrats wouldn't allow Miguel Estrada to get a vote to become a judge on the D.C. Court of Appeals. They filibustered because they were afraid that Bush would then appoint him to the Supreme Court. It was an unbelievable and unconscionable decision by the Democrats, but somehow they got away with it.
It was Democrats who did nothing to pass an immigration bill in either the House or the Senate, despite President Bush's best efforts to get something done. And Democrats have put immigration reform on the backburner for their agenda this year.
Democrats have used and abused their Hispanic supporters. Most Hispanics are pro-life. Democrats have a radical anti-life agenda. Most Hispanics are religious, while the Democrat party is avowedly secular. Many Hispanics are strongly anti-communist, (Cubans, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans), while the Democrats find anti-communism to be passé. Many Hispanics are small-business owners, but the Democrats want to tax small business owners the hardest.
But Hispanics look beyond all of these issues and continue to flock to the Democrats, because they perceive that the GOP is a bunch of racists who don't want to welcome them into the country, let alone into the party.
Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich haven't helped change that perception in these opening days of the debate over Sonia Sotomajor. Senate Republicans, for the long-term good of the party, should strongly condemn incendiary language in the debate, and then vote her on the Supreme Court. She is going to get in any way. Let her get in with GOP support.


Microsoft's free antivirus comes built-in to Windows 8 as Windows Defender, but it doesn't have an option to scan individual files by right-clicking on them. Our friends at the How-To Geek show us how to add it (or any other program) to your context menu.
The easiest way to do this is to just run a .reg file, which you can grab from the How-To Geek here.

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. – In a county 100 miles from the Mexican border where unauthorized immigrants are a tenth of the population, people like Oswaldo Farias' parents never know if or when they will be deported.
"It's a constant fear," said Farias, 22, who was born in Costa Mesa, California, but whose parents are Mexican immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally. His parents are among the many undocumented immigrants in Orange County who raised their children in the U.S. while working as landscapers, nannies or in other service jobs in the affluent oceanfront suburbs south of Los Angeles.
"I think everyone in our community, whether you're documented or not, knows of at least one person a year being taken away, just immediately," Farias said.
People like Farias' parents are typical of the millions who could benefit from immigration changes planned for this spring. As immigrant communities gear up to take advantage of the programs, states and cities are bracing for the impact, with some states challenging the programs in federal court.
President Barack Obama announced in November the new Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA) program, which will offer parents of citizens or lawful residents temporary relief from deportation and a chance for legal work permission as long as they have been in the country for five years and don't have a serious criminal record. It's scheduled to start in May. Obama also expanded the population eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program for youth who came to the U.S. as children.
The Migration Policy Institute estimates that 3.7 million parents out of a total of 11.4 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. may be eligible under the new program, while the Pew Research Center (Pew also funds Stateline) puts the number at 3.5 million. Two-thirds of those helped will be Mexican, according to Pew's analysis.
A Migration Policy Institute study last month identified Orange County as one of the dozens of areas across the country with high concentrations of unauthorized immigrants, many of whom could get help from the new changes. The report profiled 94 such areas in 24 states.
States and cities where these areas are located are preparing for a flood of applications that could dwarf the 700,000 produced by the DACA program for childhood arrivals in 2012.

Federal lawsuit
As volunteer groups across the U.S. gear up to help these populations apply for temporary deportation relief, states and cities are lining up on both sides of a federal lawsuit opposing the changes. Each side points to financial concerns in making its argument.
Twenty-six states have signed on to challenge the legality of DAPA in federal court in a lawsuit led by Texas, which alleges the policy would encourage more illegal immigration. Texas said it already spends an extra $1.3 million a week on police for border security and that it spent $38 million last year to send National Guard troops to the border.
In addition to encouraging more illegal immigration, Texas argues, DAPA will cost the state millions of dollars by forcing it to process hundreds of thousands of new driver's licenses and trade licenses.
But the National League of Cities and the United States Conference of Mayors filed a brief in support of DAPA, signed by 36 mayors including those from the five largest cities (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Philadelphia). That brief cites DAPA's potential benefits to the economy and public safety. Twelve states and the District of Columbia filed a similar brief.
The states and cities supporting DAPA say their regions will benefit financially because legal workers will make more money and thus pay more in taxes. California could get $904 million in new revenue and Washington state could get $57 million over the next five years because of higher wages, the brief states.
"Allowing immigrants to work legally and increase their wages has far-reaching, positive impacts on state and local economies," the brief argues. A judge is still hearing evidence about whether to issue a preliminary injunction halting implementation while the case proceeds.
Of the 10 states with the largest unauthorized immigrant populations, according to the Pew Research Center, three (California, Illinois and New York) filed in favor of the deportation relief, and five (Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas) joined the lawsuit opposing it. The remaining two, New Jersey and Virginia, have taken neither step.
Mexican populations
Not surprisingly, the Migration Policy Institute found that large cities such as Los Angeles and Chicago have large populations eligible for the relief, said Randy Capps, the group's research director. But substantial eligible populations also exist in suburban areas around Atlanta, the District of Columbia and San Francisco.
"What really drives these patterns is a strong association with Mexican origin. These are people who cross the border illegally," Capps said.
Advocates agree that immigrants will need help proving they are eligible. That means providing documents such as foreign passports or birth certificates, U.S. birth certificates showing children were born here, and possibly court records proving that any scrapes with the law were minor and resolved.

State courts are getting advice from the federal State Justice Initiative on requests for criminal case records they can expect from people who need to show they have a clean record, and community organizers are planning a conference this week in Virginia to discuss implementation issues.
Since DAPA will help parents rather than children, as DACA does, organizers expect more information sessions will be in person, on the telephone and on paper because applicants will be older and less Internet-savvy.
"Many of these agencies already have full caseloads. Capacities will be stretched almost universally," said Jeanne Atkinson, director of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc., which has offices getting ready to help around the country, including one in Orange County.
The Migration Policy Institute's estimates show Orange County, with 313,000 unauthorized immigrants, is one of only four counties in the nation with more than 300,000 unauthorized immigrants. The others are Los Angeles County, with 979,000; Harris County, Texas, with 357,000; and Cook County, Illinois, with 322,000. As a percentage of all residents, Orange County and Los Angeles are the highest at 10 percent.
The Migration Policy Institute found one of the highest rates of potential eligibility in the San Diego area; the highest rate in the nation is 64 percent of the unauthorized population in Imperial County, which adjoins San Diego on the Mexican border.
But many of the potentially eligible parents in that area have been caught crossing the border in recent years, or have been deported and then returned to the U.S., either of which could disqualify them from DAPA, said Robert Moser, deputy director of Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego. He estimates that 30 percent to 40 percent of the 2,000 people who have come to information meetings might qualify, not the 50 percent to 64 percent estimated by the Migration Policy Institute.
"The overwhelming majority of people here have family members on the other side, and when the border is so near, the temptation to cross back and forth is strong," Moser said. "The motive is usually family reunification."
Immigration battleground
One of the few counties in the nation where more than a tenth of the population is unauthorized, Orange County is also home to some of the state's most fervent anti-immigration groups. The Minuteman Project, which formed volunteer border patrols, was cofounded by an Aliso Viejo resident, Jim Gilchrist. A little north, in Huntington Beach, is where Barbara Coe's Coalition for Immigration Reform helped spawn California's Proposition 187, aimed at withholding most services from unauthorized immigrants. The measure was passed by voters in 1994, but later struck down by the courts.
On the other side are people like Alexis Nava Teodoro, 27, an anti-deportation activist in Santa Ana. His group, RAIZ ("root" in Spanish), is made up of undocumented youth who have decided to step out of the shadows and get directly involved in halting deportations and opposing state policies they think promote deportation.
For instance, RAIZ petitions the state to enforce its immigrant-friendly Trust Act more stringently, preventing local law enforcement from reporting unauthorized detainees to federal immigration officials, according to Nava Teodoro, who serves as the group's deportation defense coordinator.
"We filled a void that was present for years. The people who are most impacted by deportation came together to directly stop deportation," he said.
Tom Wong, who has written about DACA and DAPA at the University of California, San Diego, agreed that information sessions for immigrants are crucial. "This eligibility assessment, which a lot of these organizations do, will allay many people's concerns," Wong said.

HARRIS-LIPSITZ CO. v. OLDHAM
1916 OK 251
155 P. 865
56 Okla. 124
Case Number: 6440
Decided: 02/29/1916
Supreme Court of Oklahoma
HARRIS-LIPSITZ CO.
OLDHAM et al.
¶0 1. PROCESS--Service by Publication--Affidavit--Sufficiency. Where it is stated, in an affidavit to obtain service by publication, that defendant is a nonresident of the state, and service cannot be had on him in the state, and such affidavit is otherwise sufficient, such affidavit is sufficient, notwithstanding facts are not stated therein showing that plaintiff, by the use of due diligence, was unable to make personal service in the state upon defendant.
2. CANCELLATION OF INSTRUMENTS--Petition--Offer to Do Equity. In a petition for rescission of a contract, upon the ground of duress and want of consideration, it is not necessary for plaintiff to offer to do equity.
3. SAME--Deeds--Duress--Want of Consideration--Sufficiency of Evidence. The evidence carefully weighed, and the weight thereof found to sustain the facts found by the court--that the deed sought to be canceled was obtained by the exercise of duress and without consideration.
4. SAME. Under the weight of the evidence, the conclusion of law reached by the court--that the deed in question should be canceled--is correct.
Fooshee & Brunson, for plaintiff in error.
C. M. Threadgill, for defendants in error.
COLLIER, C.
¶1 This action was commenced by defendants in error against plaintiff in error, to cancel and set aside a deed, executed by defendants in error to plaintiff in error. Hereinafter the parties will be designated as they were in the trial court. Defendant being a nonresident of this state, service of summons was had upon it by publication. The affidavit for publication, omitting caption, is as follows:
"N. Y. Oldham and N. M. Oldham, being first duly sworn, state upon their oaths that they are the plaintiffs above named; that they have commenced an action against the defendant to cancel a deed; that the said defendant is a corporation, incorporated under and by the laws of the State of Texas, and is a nonresident of the State of Oklahoma, and has no place of business in the State of Oklahoma, and has no agent for service in the State of Oklahoma, and cannot be served by process of this court in said State of Oklahoma. Wherefore plaintiffs pray for service on the defendant by publication, as the law directs.
"N. Y. OLDHAM,
"N. M. OLDHAM."
¶2 Upon the filing of said affidavit, publication, omitting caption, was made as follows:
"Said defendant, Harris-Lipsitz Company, a corporation, will take notice that it has been sued in the above-named court to cancel a deed to lots numbered 9 and 10 in block numbered 32 in the town of Tupelo, Okla., and it must answer the petition filed herein by said plaintiffs on or before the 11th day of February, 1913, or said petition will be taken as true, and judgment for said plaintiff to cancel the said deed will be rendered accordingly.
"C. M. THREADGILL, Attorney for Plaintiffs.
"Attest: C. L. CARDWELL, Clerk of the District Court."
¶3 Proof of publication for the time required by law was duly made by the editor and publisher of the Coalgate Record-Register, the newspaper in which said publication was printed. The evidence shows that the sons of plaintiffs had been engaged in the mercantile business, and become indebted to defendant; that the representative of defendant went to Tupelo, where plaintiffs resided, and saw one of plaintiffs, Mr. Oldham, in regard to said indebtedness of plaintiffs' sons to defendant. Mr. Oldham testified that said representative stated to him that he had quite a large sum of bogus notes that his boys had deposited with them for goods, and that they had to be redeemed; that he told said representative that he did not have anything to redeem them with, only his place; that defendant's representative proposed that plaintiffs give him a deed or mortgage on the place, and said representative proposed to deliver the notes over to plaintiffs and release the indebtedness due defendant by plaintiffs' sons; that witness got bothered, and asked for time to think about it; that said representative would not give it; said if they did not do it right then, he would have the youngest boy arrested. Afterwards the representative of defendant, together with a notary public, went to the residence of plaintiffs, and thereupon plaintiffs executed to defendant the deed which is sought to be canceled. Mrs. Oldham, the other defendant herein, testified that she signed the deed because she feared that if she did not do so they would put her boys in jail. Mr. Brunson testified that the representative of defendant threatened to him that unless the matter was arranged the boys would be prosecuted, and advised that the matter be settled and the collateral notes be burned up. Mr. Macey testified that the representative of defendant stated to him that unless Mr. Oldham would pay or put up stuff for the $ 1,300 that was owing by his sons to defendant, he was going to prosecute both of the boys, which statement of said representative of defendant witness communicated to Mr. Oldham, prior to the execution of said deed. It is further shown by the evidence that the wife of one of the sons of plaintiffs also arranged to secure one-half of said indebtedness owing by plaintiffs' sons to defendant, and that to her was turned over the collateral notes held by defendant. The evidence is in conflict as to whether or not Mr. Oldham, one of plaintiffs, ever directed that the collateral notes held by defendant be turned over to the said wife of plaintiffs' son. There was also evidence in conflict with the statements of the several witnesses as to threats being made by the representative of defendant. The case was tried to the court, and a decree rendered in favor of plaintiffs cancelling the deed and removing cloud from the title to said lots. Motion for new trial was filed, overruled, and exceptions saved. To reverse said judgment, this appeal is prosecuted. There are numerous assignments of error, but the only ones argued in the brief are the first, second, seventh, and eighth, and these are the only ones that will be considered, and they will be reviewed in reverse order. The affidavit made for publication of service of summons, we think, was sufficient, as also was the notice of publication. Consequently the court did not err in overruling the motion of defendant to quash the service by publication. In Ballew v. Young et al., 24 Okla. 182, 103 P. 623, 23 L. R. A. (N. S.) 1084, it is held:
"Where it is stated, in an affidavit to obtain service by publication, that a defendant is a nonresident of the state, and service cannot be had upon him within the state, and such affidavit is otherwise sufficient, it is not void or voidable because facts are not stated therein showing that plaintiff, by the use of due diligence, was unable to make service of summons upon the defendant." See, also, Richardson v. Howard, 51 Okla. 240, 151 P. 887.
¶4 It is true that he who asks equity must do equity. Where one seeks rescission of a transaction, he must restore the status quo. But we are unable to agree with the contention of defendant that plaintiffs should have offered in their petition to restore said collateral notes to defendant. In a suit in equity to cancel and annul a deed, on the ground of fraud, it is not necessary to formally allege in the petition therefor an offer to do equity. Washington v. Colvin, 55 Okla. 774, 155 P. 251; Stevens v. Elliott, 30 Okla. 41, 118 P. 407. While, under section 986, Rev. Laws 1910, a party seeking a rescission must restore to the other party everything of value which he has received from him under the contract, the weight of the evidence shows that the collateral notes were of no value, and that defendant's representative advised that they be burned. The evidence is in conflict as to whether or not Mr. Oldham, one of plaintiffs, directed said collateral notes to be delivered to the said wife of his son, to whom they were delivered; and the uncontradicted evidence is that neither of plaintiffs received anything of value from defendant as consideration for the deed. Consequently the court did not err in not requiring plaintiffs to restore the collateral notes as a condition precedent to the judgment in this case. We have carefully weighed the evidence, and are satisfied that the deed executed by plaintiffs to defendant was executed under duress and without consideration. That a deed executed under duress and without consideration should be set aside is too well settled to require citation of authorities in support thereof. We think that it would be a difficult matter to find a more effective way to bring about the conveyance secured in this case, without consideration, than was practiced. Threats to cause to be imprisoned the sons of the aged father and mother made a test of their affection for their boys, which placed plaintiffs in a position to be willing to make any sacrifice rather than have their boys branded as felons, and hence to deed away their home--the only property they had--without consideration moving to them. The finding of fact by the court, that the deed was executed under duress and without consideration, we think is amply supported by the evidence; and the conclusion of law reached by the court, that the deed should be canceled, is free from error. It follows that there was no prejudicial error in overruling the motion for new trial. The judgment of the trial court should be affirmed.
¶5 By the Court: It is so ordered.

If you've ever been to a club night in Bristol, chances are you've heard a DJ set from Ewan Hoozami - his tireless work rate in terms of playing out and promoting has seen him become hugely popular over the last few years. The man behind Hot Soup, Mad Method and part of Funk From The Trunk has been a key figure in the Bristol music community for some time now, but what you may not know is he's also been gathering some serious hype about his production work too.
The track that raised his profile last year was Drinking Song, a raw blast of funk which saw airtime on BBC Radio 6 amongst other outlets. However, his unique distillation of sounds and styles is present in tracks like the lurching swing of Brouhaha or the bubbling insanity of Southpaw both of which bear reference to the best of the Ninja Tune back catalogue but aren't an emulation; the creativity and energy that shines through in his work precludes it being dismissed as some cheap facsimile.
Very kindly, he has agreed to donate to us two of his tracks for free download. Deja Vu opens with a plucked string introduction and a buzzing bassline before skittering beatwork brings cohesion to the track, building in intensity before a classic organ stab brings renewed vigour to the proceedings. Tijuanasaurus Rex meanwhile opts for a intricate beat pattern worked through with clipped samples that recalls the work of Anti-Pop Consortium in its leftfield approach to Hip Hop. Ewan Hoozami is clearly an artist with a strong vision; his sound is growing exponentially with each track and BUG is looking forward to what the man will create next.
