USPA NEWS - On the eve of the shutdown of reactor 1 of the Fessenheim nuclear power plant, in accordance with the Government's commitment, Jacqueline Gourault, Minister for Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities, and Sébastien Lecornu, Minister responsible of local authorities, would like to recall the commitments already made by the State to guarantee the resources of the territory, and which will materialize from 2021. An unprecedented support effort for the benefit of the territory for an amount estimated at € 32 million over 10 years

The loss of revenue of the Community of Communes of the Rhine-Brisach Country will be fully compensated until 2023 inclusive, then degressively until 2030. The amount of this compensation should amount to € 32 million in total over 10 years. The territory will also benefit, due to the loss of tax revenue associated with the power plant, from a reduction in its contribution to the FPIC, the main mechanism of financial equalization between communities, to which it contributes greatly today due to the importance of its financial potential (32nd nationally). THE FINANCIAL EFFORT IS UNPRECEDENTED IN ITS SCALE------------------------------------------------------------------ The resources mobilized will enable elected representatives of the territory to develop an alternative economic project, in accordance with the new ecological model that the Government is encouraging. The commitment to open a work on an evolution of the FNGIR held from 2020. In addition, in addition to these compensation commitments, during the examination of the PLF 2020, the ministers undertook to open the file for the FNGIR levy for municipalities and EPCIs which are suffering from significant reductions in their tax revenues, in particular due to the departure of companies. The FNGIR contribution paid by the municipality of Fessenheim amounts to € 2.9 million per year. A letter co-signed by Jacqueline Gourault, Sébastien Lecornu, Gérald Darmanin and Olivier Dussopt - Minister of Action and Public Accounts and Secretary of State to the Minister of Action and Public Accounts - was sent today to Presidents of the National Assembly and the Senate to mission parliamentarians on the subject. The objective is to seek a consensual solution allowing solutions to be provided after 2023 to the territories weakened by the FNGIR levy without calling into question the principle of the fund or its financial balance.

Medical alert systems are a very important part of a senior citizen's life. Many seniors are active enough to live on their own. They cook, clean, garden, and visit friends. However, family members worry about whether their loved one is truly safe. Medical alert systems for seniors give the family peace of mind while the loved one is living alone.
If you have a loved one who lives alone, then a medical alert system is your friend. Medical alert systems come in many different formats but each one is made to meet a family's specific needs. Medical alert systems for seniors can be an inexpensive one-time purchase. Set up the system, program your number in, and you're done. The button works by calling the number you programmed. There are no monthly monitoring fees with this type of system. However, if 24 hour a day monitoring is what your family needs, then those are available for a purchasing fee and then a monthly monitoring fee. The 24 hour a day system is a popular choice among family members who work or live a distance away from their loved one. The monitoring system calls emergency services if your loved one were to push the button.
Whichever medical alert system your family chooses, you can be sure that you purchased added security for your senior.
With the touch of a button, your loved one can call for help. The button is worn on a lanyard around your senior's neck so that it will always be within reach. In the event of a power outage, the system has a battery back-up.
Furthermore, the emergency buttons are waterproof and should be worn while bathing. Finally, all medical alert systems are easy to install, set-up, and use. Your senior won't be intimidated by technology because these systems are very simple.
Medical alert systems for seniors are an effective and popular safety measure that allow your loved one to remain in their home. The entire family will have peace of mind knowing that if their loved one should fall or have an emergency, then help is only the push of a button away. There's no more worrying about grandma because she is perfectly happy and safe in the comforts of her own home.

Q: How to stop labels from moving up when navigation bar disappears? The layout in Xcode:
Output, in an iPhone 5s simulator once the navigation bar is removed:
Initially, at the start of this view, the navigation bar is required, but when I hit the record button, the navigation bar is to disappear, which it does. However, in doing so, it moves the timer labels up with it. How do I stop autolayout from moving the labels up?
Thanks.

A: Solved by grouping the elements I wanted (bottom views) into a stacked view, then by setting a constraint to the bottom, whilst leaving a constraint on the top element to the top.

A: Use Push function to navigate the first page to another and add navigation disappear Function to next page. It will work.

A: This happens with respect to how you put your auto layout constraints. Put label constraints with respect to Top layout guide. If labels are inside another view make sure that view has top constraint with respect to parentview controller toplayout guide. Check with respect to what you have given. If with respect to Navigation Layout is there. You will have this problem.

A: Try to force the navigation bar to not be hidden. Inside the viewDidLoad()
self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(false, animated: false)

A: You have to set top layout guide to 64

Select viewController on which you are using it and make sure "Under top Bars" is ticked as in Picture below

AOPA Doubts FAA Cries of Pending Funding Crisis
May 4, 2006Andy0 Comments
Filed UnderPre-2008 Archived Articles
AOPA President Phil Boyer says the FAA's justification for imposing user fees is just hot air. Boyer told the American Association of Airport Executives meeting in San Diego last week that, far from going broke, the Airport and Airways Trust Fund is awash in cash and will have billions in the bank in coming years. AOPA says it crunched the numbers using White House estimates and, using its most conservative forecast, predicts the trust fund will have a $4.3 billion surplus by 2011. By its most liberal interpretation, the surplus could reach $9.3 billion. FAA Administrator Marion Blakey says the trust fund, which is derived from a percentage tax on airline tickets, is a declining source of revenue and she wants a revenue stream that's based on the cost of services provided (definition: user fees). But AOPA maintains that, contrary to FAA statements, airfares are on the increase and more people are traveling (hence the trust fund must be getting more money, too). Boyer says the real issue is control and the airlines want it. As the largest contributors to a user-fee system, the airlines would carry most of the clout in decisions regarding function of the air traffic control system. Congress would no longer have oversight because taxes would not be used to fund the system. Boyer said the airlines have proven they can't run their own businesses and they shouldn't be allowed to control the airspace. He also noted that ATC costs in the U.S. are the lowest in the world and the U.S. system is the safest.

Is the prevalence of ER-negative breast cancer in the US higher among Africa-born than US-born black women?
Previous studies have reported that the prevalence of ER-negative tumors in breast cancer patients is much higher in black women than in white women in the US. Herein, we examine whether the proportion (prevalence) in Africa-born black breast cancer patients residing in the US is similar to those in US-born black patients. We obtained information on invasive female breast cancers diagnosed during 1996–2008 in 17 Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results cancer registries according to select place of birth: Western-Africa-born, Eastern-Africa-born, Jamaica-born, and US-born blacks and US-born whites. The majority of Western-Africa-born and Eastern-Africa-born blacks were from Nigeria (64 %) and Ethiopia (74 %), respectively. We examined group variations in ER status using Chi-squared tests and the prevalence of ER-negative tumors in Africa-born blacks compared to US-born blacks, expressed as prevalence ratio (PRR), using multivariable regression models. The prevalence of ER-negative tumors significantly varied from 22.0 % (n = 41/186) in Eastern-Africa-born to 32.9 % (n = 47/143) in Western-Africa-born blacks. After adjustment for differences in age at diagnosis and other covariates, compared to US-born blacks, the prevalence was similar in Western-Africa-born (PRR = 0.87; 95 % CI 0.70–1.08) and Jamaica-born blacks (PRR = 0.88; 95 % CI 0.74–1.03), but significantly lower in Eastern-Africa-born blacks (PRR = 0.58; 95 % CI 0.44–0.75). Notably, the ER-negative prevalence in Eastern-Africa-born black was comparable to the US-born whites with breast cancer. Our findings highlight the heterogeneity of breast cancer among black women in the US, which should be considered in future studies of hormone receptor status in these women.

Critical Conversations- Art and Place, September 15, 2015
Critical Conversation 'Art and Place' took place September 15, 2015 at Gallery 210. Topics included neighborhood, institutional context, commercial and community space, cultural context, class, creative process, environment, 'outsider' art, the White Cube, and the unique challenges faced by St. Louis-based artists as well as the various projects of the panelists. We had some great audience-engagement on this one! Take a look.
Anne McCullough– Anne McCullough is a community organizer, intermediary and facilitator of communication. She currently works for the Cherokee Street Business Association and is Executive Director of the Cherokee Street Development League. She has also worked for local nonprofits Trailnet and Park Central Development, is a graduate of the Regional Arts Commission's Community Arts Training Institute and is currently pursuing her masters degree in Urban Planning and Real Estate Development at St. Louis University.
Gina Alvarez– Gina Alvarez is an artist and educator whose practice ranges across media, including printmaking, sculpture, fabric, textiles, drawing, and combinations of these. She holds a B.A. in studio art from the College of Charleston and an M.F.A. in visual art from Washington University in St. Louis. Gina is a 2012 Creative Stimulus Award Winner, and the current Executive Director of VSA Missouri, a statewide organization promoting access to the arts for people with disabilities.
Julie Malone– Using the natural world as inspiration, Julie Malone creates colorful abstract compositions that exude energy, color and light. Painting on panels that she constructs herself, Malone "builds" her works by creating mesmerizing relationships of form and color from the structured application of paint, which she lays down in overlapping planes and drips, and punctuates with surface "carving" and scratch drawing. While her earlier work was figurative, Malone's recent work has turned towards the abstract, drawing from her interest in the optical effects of color, digital imagery, and the world around her. Though the paintings are abstract, they hint things known – one might see in them a sunset, trees, water or a garden landscape. She is inspired by the visual effects that color makes when it is revealed by light streaming across objects, and when the sun illuminates the landscape during both sunrise and sunset. The works in this exhibition are from 2014 and 15 and many were created especially for the exhibition at the Sheldon Art Galleries. Julie Malone was born in Kansas City in 1971. She received a BFA in Studio Art/Painting from Central Missouri State University in 1995 and moved to St. Louis in 1996. She began her career as a digital designer working within the decorative, laminate industry. Her painting and creative drive were impacted in 1999 after the birth of her first child. At that time she moved from the corporate world to pursue her lifelong love of painting. Malone is owner of SOHA Studio and Gallery in South St. Louis.
Mallory Nezam– Mallory (Founder and Director of STL Improv Anywhere, Founder and Co-Creator of The Poetree Project and #ChalkedUnarmed) is an artist and cultural producer with expertise in activating public space. She believes this is where people are most affected by artwork – when they least expect it, and where the work is in direct dialogue with everyday life. The art emerges live with the participation or co-creation of the public. Though its form are malleable, a constant current runs through: creating opportunities for transformation, and for deeper engagement with strangers and self. With a background in religious studies, yoga and poetry, she blends play, joy, spirituality, words. She has seen the work disarm, open, and transform.
Dana Turkovic– Dana Turkovic is Curator of Exhibitions at Laumeier Sculpture Park. In 2005, Turkovic received her Master of Fine Arts from Goldsmiths College-University of London in curatorial studies and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Webster University, St. Louis in 1998. Turkovic has organized exhibitions in Athens, Baku, Los Angeles and New York, in alternative spaces in London and Oxford and in St. Louis at the Contemporary Art Museum, Boots Contemporary Art Space, Ellen Curlee Gallery, Hunt Gallery, Schmidt Contemporary Art and White Flag Projects and is co-curator of an independent project called Isolation Room/Gallery Kit since 2011. Turkovic was co-curator of the recent Mound City exhibition at Laumeier Sculpture Park with new outdoor commissions by Sam Durant, Geoffrey Krawzyck and Marie Watt. Upcoming projects include an indoor exhibition and outdoor commission with New Delhi based artists Raqs Media Collective to open in October 2015 and a solo exhibition with New Delhi based artist Gigi Scaria to open in the spring of 2016 at Laumeier Sculpture Park and a co-curated film series for the Zeitz Center for the Moving Image in Cape Town. She has written for publications such as Art US, Review and St. Louis Magazine.

Israeli firm Delek Group has said that the Final Investment Decision has been made for the development of the giant gas field in the Mediterranean – the Leviathan.
The company on Thursday said its subsidiaries Delek Drilling and Avner Exploration had taken the fid the development of Phase 1A in the development plan of the Leviathan Field, with an annual capacity of 12 BCM, in order to start the flow of natural gas from the Leviathan field by the end of 2019.
The first phase of development of the Leviathan is expected to cost around $3.75 billion.
Noble Energy is the operator with 39.66% stake. The partners are Avner Oil Exploration (22.67%), Delek Drilling, (15.00%), and Ratio Oil Exploration ( 25.65%).
The Leviathan will be developed using a subsea system that connects production wells to a fixed platform located offshore with tie-in onshore in the northern part of Israel.
Worth noting, while Delek and Avner have made the Final Investment Decision on their part, same has to be done by the other partners in order for the FID to take effect.
Offshore Energy Today has reached out to Noble Energy asking when it will make the sanction, and what the FID would be dependent on.
When is a final investment decision (FID) not a FID?

"Acute" and "chronic" are two terms commonly used in the practice of medicine. Acute is used when a disease or medical condition comes on suddenly. A chronic illness is one that lasts for several months and can be considered a continuation of an acute illness if it developed rather quickly.
However, acute is more often used to describe a medical condition that develops all of a sudden and only lasts for a short period of time. It could last for days or it could be gone within a few hours. They are usually illnesses that are severe and could be fatal if left untreated. They can subside or continue, in which case the illnesses can become chronic. There are some illnesses that can only be acute, such as a heart attack, while others can only be chronic, such as asthma.
In order for an illness to be classified as being chronic it has to last three months or longer. When an acute illness is not cured or doesn't subside and just continues on, then it is said to become chronic. However, as a rule, a chronic illness starts gradually and become progressively worse as time goes on.
One example of a chronic illness is diabetes because it requires treatment for the remainder of the patient's life. Bronchial asthma is another example. However, this could be an acute or a chronic illness because it can start quickly and be cured quickly or it could just need continuous treatment, such as when the illness worsens at certain times.
There are some acute conditions that are life-threatening if they are not treated immediately. Ruptured appendix, for example, is an acute condition that needs immediate surgery. Another example is an ectopic pregnancy in which the fetus starts to develop in the Fallopian tube instead of the womb.
Patients who have an acute illness seek medical attention immediately because the symptoms are so severe. Those who have chronic conditions often put off seeking medical attention because the symptoms are such that they do not interfere too much in their daily activities when they first develop. It is not until the condition becomes worse that they visit a doctor. The terms "acute" and "chronic" have to do with the length of time associated with the medical condition.


Omar Walker aboard SHE'S A MANEATER.
SHE'S A MANEATER cuts back to six furlongs in this afternoon's None Such Sprint, facing basically the same cast from her Eros Trophy victory on July 28 when she made a mockery of rivals at seven furlongs, winning by five and a half lengths.
The flagship in champion trainer Wayne DaCosta's armada, 2017 Horse of the Year SHE'S A MANEATER has already beaten the best sprinters in the country, storming past SIEMPRE BUENO a half-furlong out to win May's Lotto Sprint by three lengths.
Carrying 123lb in the Lotto Sprint, she convincingly beat MONEY MAGNET, SIEMPRE BUENO and CHACE THE GREAT, all of whom return, lambs to the slaughter, against the four-year-old filly, who ranks among the most versatile runners to have ever graced Caymanas Park.
SHE's A MANEATER's winning time in the Lotto Sprint, 1:05.2, was three-fifths of a second outside SAINT CECELIA and A KING IS BORN's joint stakes record of 1:04.4.
Though she isn't your typical sprinter, at the right handicaps, with the right pace, she can do just about anything asked of her, going any distance, which was how the Lotto Sprint played out and the None Such is expected to follow suit.
DaCosta has SHE'S A MANEATER and three stablemates in the None Such, one of whom, speedy MR UNIVERSE, leaves the opposition in a conundrum.
Anthony Nunes has been trying his very best to find a way around the DaCosta armada with SIEMPRE BUENO, who overhauled MR UNIVERSE and sprinted two lengths clear a furlong out in the Lotto Sprint. However, he had no answer when SHE'S A MANEATER pounced a half-furlong out.
Though there's an eight-pound swing in SIEMPRE BUENO's favour for the rematch, the extra half-furlong swings the pendulum right back to SHE'S A MANEATER, whose finishing speed Nunes' runner lacks.
Sitting $3m behind DaCosta in their private battle atop the trainers' standings, Nunes needs a way around SHE'S A MANEATER but the door is closed in the None Such Trophy.
There is no Plan 'A' or 'B' for SIEMPRE BUENO, CHACE THE GREAT or MONEY MAGNET. MR UNIVERSE can't be allowed to run loose upfront after churning out 1:11.1 for six furlongs in the Thoroughbred Hall Of Fame Stakes.
If the speed collapses, as expected, SHE'S A MANEATER's record speaks for itself, 13 wins in 16 starts, from five and a half to 12 furlongs, possessing a crippling mid-race pace, which none of her rivals will be able to match in the stretch run.

How under-appreciated is landscape design? One of the landscapes highlighted by John Hill in 100 Years, 100 Landscape Designs is in my home state of Minnesota, yet I'd never even heard of it — despite the fact that I've even written a travel guide to the Twin Cities.
I'll take whatever knocks are due to me for missing Ellsworth Rock Gardens in my research, but I'm clearly not the only one to miss the genius that's underfoot. Hill's new book is an enjoyable browse, and a reminder that we move through a world of considered decisions about how we'll interface with our environments.
Amidst climate change and devastating storms, a version of that reminder is hitting our news feeds — and maybe our faces, or our homes — seemingly every day. The problem of Houston, pavement run amok, is a tragedy of landscape architecture writ large. In the wake of Harvey, it seems almost quaint to focus on rock gardens and parklets.
Still, Hill might argue, it's landscape architects who might hold the key to reorienting our relationship to the earth, if we can find the will (and the time) to do so. If there's a narrative to this chronological compilation, it's the story of sustainability. Landscape architects are still struggling to carve spaces of distinction in both urban and rural environments, but the need for low-impact solutions and creative infrastructure reuse is increasingly acute.
It's for this reason that, uncontroversially, Hill calls New York's High Line "easily the most influential piece of landscape architecture of the twenty-first century." One of the virtues of the new book — as with its companion piece 100 Years, 100 Buildings — is that Hill surveys the most recent hundred years, hardly less arbitrary a choice than to pick a single calendar century. That allows him to peek into our current century, with triumphs including Chicago's Millennium Park and Seattle's Olympic Sculpture Park.
Hill also ventures far afield, to the point where few mortals will ever manage to set foot on all hundred of these designs — from Australia's Royal Botanic Gardens to Portugal's Piscina das Marés. Nonetheless, you theoretically could, as the author has restricted his selection to designs that remain publicly accessible.
If 100 Landscape Designs shares the virtues of 100 Buildings, it also shares its flaws. Each design gets a two-page spread with a fixed block of text facing a page containing one or two photographs of the site being highlighted as having been completed (or, in some cases, begun) during the year in sequence.
That format makes for an orderly procession, but its restrictiveness can make it challenging to appreciate the diversity of these designs. In most cases we don't get comprehensive overhead views or plans, meaning that we have to rely heavily on Hill's text to explain precisely how what we see fits into the broader scope of each project. That text is solid and informative, but the didactic flavor doesn't exactly pull you forward through the pages.
Still, the wonders on display here make 100 Landscapes an illuminating addition to your coffee table or library. You'll close the book ready to pay renewed attention to the marvels, and foibles, that we've wrought upon our planet.

The earthquake and tsunami in Japan are expected to be the world's most expensive natural disaster, costing up to $309 billion.
TOKYO, JAPAN — The earthquake and tsunami that wreaked havoc on Japan's northeast might cost as much as $309 billion, making it the world's most expensive natural catastrophe.
According to a Cabinet Office estimate released Wednesday, the massive damage to dwellings, roads, utilities, and enterprises throughout seven prefectures has led in direct losses of between 16 trillion yen ($198 billion) and 25 trillion yen ($309 billion).
Other estimates put the loss total at a far greater level. According to the World Bank, the damage might total $235 billion. According to Goldman Sachs, the quake's damage might be as high as $200 billion.
If the government's projections are true, the losses will surpass those caused by Hurricane Katrina. According to the Insurance Information Institute, the 2005 megastorm that wrecked New Orleans and the surrounding region cost $125 billion.
The impact of power shortages caused by nuclear power plant damage is not included in Japan's assessment, thus the overall economic impact might be substantially worse. It also ignores the possibility of global ramifications.
In a study, Takuji Aida, an economist at UBS Securities Japan, stated, "The repercussions of the sad events in Japan will undoubtedly change the local economy." "However, Japan's position in the global economy dictates that some of the shock must be transmitted to other regions of the globe."
However, the Cabinet Office noted that the economic blow might be mitigated by a projected increase in public works and building as the region rebuilds.
On March 11, a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami wreaked havoc on Japan's northeastern shore, killing thousands of people and sparking a nuclear power plant meltdown. Thousands of people living in the vicinity of the facility were evacuated.
Power rationing has been implemented, many factories are still shuttered, and vital rail routes are closed.
Toyota Motor Corp., the world's largest carmaker, has been unable to get key components, including rubber parts and electronics, since March 14. Its lost output will hit 140,000 automobiles by Sunday.
Due to a shortage of parts, Toyota said on Wednesday that it will delay the introduction of its Prius hybrid minivan in Japan.
According to Toyota spokesman Paul Nolasco, the Prius minivan was supposed to be released in April. However, the accident has left suppliers crippled and stores devastated, forcing Toyota to postpone the launch.
Another economic assessment issued by the Cabinet Office on Wednesday highlighted the fresh problems confronting Japan, which had been recovering from a halt in growth late last year.
"The economy is improving, but its self-sustainability remains a concern," it stated.
In general, the Japanese economy has been sluggish over the past two decades, just managing to maintain sluggish growth in between slowdowns. Last year, it lost its place as the world's second largest economy to China, and it is burdened with the world's largest public debt, at 200 percent of GDP.
The administration intends to create a supplementary budget to address rebuilding, while Cabinet members have predicted that further budgets would be required in the future.
According to the Kyodo news agency, Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda stated Tuesday that the country's poor public finances will not dissuade the government from investing in reconstruction.
Noriyuki Shikata, a spokesperson for the Cabinet Office, expressed confidence that the country will be able to face the tremendous work ahead.
He told reporters on Wednesday, "This is not anything the Japanese economy can't overcome."
According to reports, the government intends to put public funds into banks to assist lending while businesses recover. It may be able to do so using funds worth 11 trillion yen ($135 billion) set aside under a statute on bank emergency support implemented following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008.

Reasons Why The Steelers Might Pass On CB Kevin Johnson At 22
Posted on April 7, 2015 at 8:55 am
Like many of you, I'm still hard at work trying to figure out who the Pittsburgh Steelers will draft in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft. While Wake Forest cornerback Kevin Johnson seems to be a popular choice amongst Steelers fans, I'm going to present several reasons as to why I don't think he'll be the pick this year.
Before we get started, however, I wanted to make it clear that I think Johnson is a very talented player who would definitely fit a Steelers need. This is not an anti-Johnson post. Instead, please consider this post as me just thinking out loud as to reasons why I think the Steelers might bypass him with the 22nd overall selection.
1) Steelers Draft History – Let's start off with the obvious. The Steelers haven't drafted a cornerback in the first round since 1997 when they took Chad Scott with the 24th overall selection and that was a few years before current general manager Kevin Colbert arrived in Pittsburgh. That's a span of 17 years and while every year is a new year that's full of new prospects, it's a trend that's hard to ignore.
2) Wake Forest History – This is another petty factoid, but once again it's a hard one to ignore. According to my research, only four times has a Wake Forest player been drafted in the first round dating back to 1940 and none of those players played defensive back. Hey, I told it was a petty reason, but Aaron Curry was the last one and that happened way back in 2009.
3 ) Never Played For A Winning College Team – Johnson never played for a winning team while at Wake Forest and additionally he never played in a bowl game. While Wake Forest did play in the Music City Bowl at the conclusion of the 2011 season, Johnson was forced to sit out that season due to him being academically ineligible. If drafted by the Steelers in the first round, he would become the first Steelers first-round draft pick selected by Colbert to never have played for a school with a winning record in any one season.
4) Questions About Competition Faced – While Johnson certainly did play well during his final two seasons at Wake Forest, he very rarely played against top-level competition outside of the four games he played against Florida State and Clemson. While he did play against Louisville in 2014, wide receiver DeVante Parker sat that game out with an injury. If you want to count the 2013 game against Vanderbilt, you probably need to be reminded that wide receiver Jordan Matthews caught 11 passes for 125 yards in that game and I know that two of those catches good for 66 yards came against Johnson.
5) Lack Of Elite Speed – While 40 times and straight-line speed certainly aren't everything when it comes to cornerbacks, Johnson's 4.52 second time at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine is a number that will be associated with him from here on out. However, to Johnson's credit, he did finish second among all defensive backs at the combine in the vertical jump and was also second-fastest in the 20-yard shuttle and three-cone drills.
6) Lacks Positional Draft Value – Do you consider Johnson to be the top-rated cornerback in this year's draft class? I know that I don't and the same probably goes for all of you. At best, Johnson is probably the third-rated cornerback in this year's class and that means there's several other players with first round grades that the Steelers have ranked higher than him. Colbert normally doesn't chase need over draft board rankings, so that's one more thing that I believe needs to be considered.
7) Age – Johnson certainly isn't a youngster as he'll be 22 years, 8 months and 26 days old come draft day. He'll be 23 at the start of the 2015 season and being as he isn't likely to be a full-time starter in Pittsburgh until his second season, that would put him at 24 by the time that happens. Being older certainly doesn't rule him out (See Jarvis Jones), but it's one more thing that you have to consider when it comes to the Steelers and their first round picks.
Summary) While each one of these individual things listed above is not enough to preclude Johnson from being the Steelers first-round selection, I think when you stack them all together it certainly makes you start to think why he possibly won't be the pick.
As always, the tape of any player should be the biggest deciding factor and while Johnson's is certainly good, I don't think the Steelers will think it's good enough to warrant spending the 22nd overall pick on. Fortunately, we don't have much longer to wait to find out if my assessment is right or wrong. Should the Steelers indeed wind up drafting Johnson 22nd overall, however, I firmly believe it will be a case of Colbert chasing need over draft board rankings.

Head Coach Ludlow Bernard optimistic of fast start to Jamaica Premier Leagues season for Harbour View FC
Despite concerns over his Jamaica Premier League champions Harbour View FC having a target on their backs this season, head coach Ludlow Bernard believes his team is prepared enough to get off to a good start to the 2022/2023 season which gets underway in just over a week's time.
Harbour View opens its title defense against newcomers Chapleton Maroons at the Tony Spaulding Sports Complex in Arnett Gardens and Bernard knows that to go from being underdogs to defending champions can bring unwanted pressure and is a cause for concern.
"It has to be a concern because some of the players will be in a territory that they are not accustomed to," he told Sportsmax.TV at the launch of the 2022/2023 Jamaica Premier League season at Chillin Restaurant and Bar on Holborn Road in Kingston on Thursday night.
"What is even going to make it even more challenging is that we will be going to the oppositions' venues."
However, Bernard, who in 2021 became the first coach to win titles with a high school team (Kingston College) and the Premier League title, believes the expected pressure could make the team better.
"Development-wise I think it's good for them. It's good that they get that kind of experience but I think we would have prepared them well over the last season to deal with the rigours of relegation, going to the opposition home venue and the thrust and grind of the league itself so we are looking forward to it and we will be prepared."
Harbour View lost a couple of players in the form of influential mid-fielder Shamar Dyer who is now playing in Antigua and Phillan Lawrence, who has not reported back to the club for reasons unknown.
However, they have bolstered the roster with Trayvon Reid, goalkeeper David Martin, Romario Palma and Demar Rose, who Bernard believes will be a good addition to the club.
"Demar Rose is somebody that I have worked with before and a player that I admire and think would fit into our system so we expect that the fire-power will be there and we are looking forward to a good start," Bernard said of the midfielder who came up through the Harbour View FC youth system having played with the Stars of the East from the U13 through to the U20 programmes.
A good start, Bernard continued, is going to be instrumental to the club enhancing their chances of a winning sixth Premier League title this coming season.
"The aim is to get out of the blocks as quickly as possible because there will be a break in November and we don't want to get caught behind," he said.
"Preparations have been a little bit behind. I think, probably, we need a couple more games but the experience that we have I think we should be able to manage ourselves in the early rounds at the start."
Jamaica Football
Jamaica Premier League champions Harbour View to clash with Caribbean All-Star XI in New York September 3
Jamaica Premier League champions Harbour View FC are to travel to New York City where they will face off with a Caribbean All-Star team in the VM Group Cup on September 3 at Old Boys High School in Brooklyn.
The Caribbean All-Star Select team will likely be comprised of players from the Caribbean Premier League Soccer Tournament including Ojai Bedward, (Jamaica), Clive Murray (Grenada), Kele Sylvester (Jamaica), Kendon 'Pimaz' Anderson (Jamaica) and Trayon Bobb (Guyana).
Head Coach of Harbour View FC, Ludlow Bernard, said the match is very important to the Stars of the East.
"This opportunity provides development, visibility and exposure to many of our young players. As the new five-star generals in Jamaica, we are enthusiastic about facing this international XI," he said.
"Football fans in general, and Harbour View fans in particular, can come out to see a young Trayvone Reid, our new, sensational goalkeeper Anthony Bennett as well as Jahshaun Anglin, Phillon Lawrence and Nicholas Hamilton. These are all upcoming stars for Harbour View. We look forward to your support."
Meanwhile, PFJL Chairman Chris Williams is urging fans to support the event.
"The PFJL is happy that we can connect with fans globally. This is the first step towards taking the game on the road as we continue to grow our fan base," he said.
"Our goal is for Jamaica to be known as a football country in the same way we are known as a track country. We won't stop until we achieve that goal, so come out and support the event."
Devon Barrett, Group Chief Investment Officer at Victoria Mutual Group, sponsors of Harbour View FC and the tour to New York, looks forward to the match-up.
"The VM Group picked a team that we thought would take it to the next level. They proved us right by winning the league," Barrett said.
'We at VMBS use the tagline 'transform your everyday lives' and we have seen the transformation of Harbour View from when the season started to how it ended. We will continue to support their growth."
The football fiesta kicks off with a match featuring 8-10-year olds from the Griffin Football Club at 2 pm. At 4 pm, former Manning & DaCosta Cup players will square off in an all-schools match featuring the likes of Altimont "Freddie" Butler, Paul Young, Gregory Messam, Alton 'Noah' Sterling and Howard "Magic Head" Kerr among others.
September 3 marks the Labour Day weekend in the United States.

Fenerbahce's President Punishes Players After Club Fall Into Relegation Zone
Jack Kenmare
Published 11:03, 10 December 2018 GMT
| Last updated 11:04, 10 December 2018 GMT
You may be surprised to read that Fenerbahce are currently sitting in the Super Lig relegation zone after suffering what can only be described as a disastrous 3-0 defeat to 13th place Akhisar on Sunday night.
The famous Sarı Lacivertliler, who are one of the biggest clubs in Turkey, have won just three times in 15 games and yesterday's defeat was the last straw for president Ali Koc, who decided to take out his frustration at the club's current league form.
Koç reportedly punished the Fenerbahce squad by cancelling their flight and forcing them to come back to Istanbul by bus.
President Ali Koç decided to punish #Fenerbahçe by cancelling their flight and forcing them to come back to Istanbul by bus.
Well, this excalated quickly.
- Bruno Bottaro (@br1bottaro) December 9, 2018
The trip from Akhisar to Istanbul would usually take an hour by plane, but a bus journey to Turkey's largest city can take almost five hours, according to Google. That means Fenerbache would have arrived in Istanbul at around 11pm.
They have won just one league game in ten, something that has clearly shocked caretaker manager Erwin Koeman:
"I hope that some of my players return soon, because we need them." he said after the game, via Hurriyet Daily News.
Koeman reiterated the fact that his club need to continue to work hard, despite the dip in form this season.
"We are in dire straits, but I am a fighter. I always see the light at the end of the tunnel. We must continue to work, strive for the club. We are definitely going through terrible times for Fenerbahce but all we can do is to keep working."
Here's some reaction from social media on the punishment.

/Is CBD Legal? Latest Update..
Is CBD Legal? 2022 Updated Status On Where It's Legal
The legality of CBD still remains a grey area topic going into 2018-2019. There are many factors that determine where CBD is legal like where the oil is derived from (hemp or cannabis), whether or not it's for recreational use, if it's for medicinal use, and more.
CBDNerds Staff Updated on January 5, 2022
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-hallucinogenic chemical compound found in the marijuana and hemp plant. Both plants belong to the same cannabis plant family, but hemp contains a high concentration of CBD. Unlike the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) compound found in marijuana, CBD provides users with a clear-headed experience without the mind or body high. CBD oil is a versatile and discreet supplement or alternative to traditional medication for numerous medical conditions. Despite studies touting CBD's efficacy as a promising medical treatment, many consumers are left wondering, "is CBD oil legal in the United States?"
CBD oil is in high demand for its effectiveness in relieving pain, inflammation, anxiety, seizures and much more. Derived from the hemp and marijuana plant, CBD oil has a confusing legal status due to ever-changing laws that vary from state to state. Its legality depends on the source of the CBD oil, THC content, and purpose for using it. The stigma behind the CBD compound and CBD oil has scared off patients who fear legal repercussions. State lawmakers across the country have continued to campaign for hemp as an agriculture commodity over the recent years. Therefore, the answer to the question "is CBD oil legal in the United States?" isn't cut and clear.
The Legality of Cannabis and Hemp-Derived CBD Oil
Hemp accounts for thousands of industrial and commercial uses in food, textiles, construction, personal care, recycling, and hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) oil production. Although hemp comes from the same plant that produces psychoactive marijuana, hemp contains a higher concentration of cannabidiol (CBD) and trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the molecule that gives users a cerebral and heightened sensory experience.
Cannabis-derived CBD oil, however, isn't legal in all states. Some states do have laws allowing for the production and selling of cannabis-derived CBD oil, but not all states have these laws. Other state allows for hemp-derived CBD oil purchases, but only with a medical recommendation. For this reason, many customers have had trouble finding to answer the questions, "where to buy legal CBD?" and 'is CBD oil legal?"

2014 Farm Bill Promotes Hemp Production
President Obama signed the Agricultural Act of 2014, also known as the 2014 Farm Bill, to build a regulated pilot program for hemp cultivation. Despite the federal status of hemp, section 7606 of the Farm Bill allowed universities and state departments of agriculture to cultivate industrial hemp under three conditions:
Hemp is grown for academic and agriculture research
Hemp cultivation is allowed under state law
Grow sites are registered and certified by the state
In order to advocate for further hemp production, U.S. senators introduced the Industrial Hemp Farming Act in 2015 to give all farmers permission to grow hemp. Ultimately, the goal of the act is to take hemp products off of the controlled substances list if the hemp product contained less than 0.3 percent THC. On October 1, 2018, no new Farm Bill was approved and the old one expired without a short-term extension. The precarious legality of hemp products like hemp-derived CBD oil has led to more questions than answers for CBD consumers.
Hemp Research Pilot Program
State legislators have addressed the nuances in hemp law including its definition, licensing cultivators, seed certification, and creating laws to protect the grower. A total of 41 states currently has enacted laws regarding hemp production, with 39 of those states allowing for a hemp pilot program. In 2018, at least five more states have moved forward with legislation to establish a hemp pilot research program. These new pilot program states include:
Currently, however, many states do not allow for the cultivation of hemp. These states include Idaho, Texas, South Dakota, Iowa, Louisiana, Ohio, Missouri, Georgia, New Jersey, Washington D.C., and Connecticut. Hemp cultivation is also not allowed in Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and Northern Marianas territories.
A proposed 2018 Hemp Farm Bill features stronger protections for hemp products including CBD oil. Despite the expiration of the 2014 Farm Bill, hemp pilot programs do not expire with the bill. For one, the Farm Bill contains no sunset provision, a condition that a program is discontinued if it is not renewed. A president-approved "minibus" spending bill also protects hemp pilot programs until December 7, 2018.
Where is CBD Oil Legal for Recreational and Medical Use?
CBD oil is currently legal for recreational and medicinal use in nine states. These states include Maine, Washington, Oregon, Vermont, California, Alaska, Massachusetts, Nevada, and Colorado. In these states marijuana and hemp-derived CBD oil is legal without a medical cannabis prescription. 31 states allow for the medical use of cannabis and hemp-derived CBD with an approved doctor's recommendation. These medical-friendly states are New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Ohio, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Arizona, Delaware, New Jersey, Montana, New York, Hawaii, Louisiana, Connecticut, Florida, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Rhode Island, Maryland, Minnesota, Alaska, California, Colorado, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, and New Hampshire.
18 states have conditions to limit the access of cannabis to only include CBD oil products with restrictions on THC content and qualifying conditions. Each one of these states has unique restrictions on levels of THC in CBD oil products. These states are Kansas, Indiana, Alabama, Texas, Wyoming, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Utah, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Virginia, Iowa, Florida, Oklahoma, and Georgia. Texas residents searching for "is CBD oil legal in Texas?" have especially restricting laws on qualifying conditions, medication use, and physician approval.
Where is Cannabis-Derived CBD Oil Illegal?
There are three states that prohibit the use of cannabis-derived CBD products including CBD oil. Idaho, South Dakota, and Nebraska do not allow the use of cannabis-derived CBD. In Idaho, South Dakota possessing marijuana is a misdemeanor. In Nebraska, possession of marijuana, even cannabis-derived CBD oil, is treated as a civil infraction.
The 2014 Farm Bill expanded the cultivation of hemp making hemp-derived products more accessible to the general public. If the 2018 Farm Bill passes by the end of 2018, the stigma and legal status of hemp farming and hemp-derived products will change to benefit farmers and consumers. Despite CBD oil being technically illegal on a federal level, the DEA isn't likely to prosecute individual users that have found relief from CBD oil.

Crystal Palace have reportedly made the first move in the race to sign Everton striker Oumar Niasse.
It is reported by Senegalese news outlet Wiw Sport that the Eagles are determined to press ahead and tie up a deal for the forward in the January transfer window.
The former Lokomotiv Moscow star has long been linked with a switch to Selhurst Park and it seems Roy Hodgson has retained an interest in signing the player.
Niasse has struggled to make an impact at Goodison Park this season and finds himself behind the likes of Richarlison, Cenk Tosun and Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the pecking order of strikers at the club.
According to Wiw Sport, Palace have opened the bidding for the Senegal international and have offered Everton a sum worth €7 million.
The Eagles have struggled to convince in front of goal this season and are believed to be on the lookout for attacking inspiration, with their move for Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke collapsing in recent times.
Would Niasse be a good signing for Palace?

Judge throws out 'unarguable' case alleging Stonewall's 'pro-trans bias' influenced Crown Prosecution Service
Vic Parsons
13 January 2021, 6:20 am ·3-min read
A High Court judge has thrown out an "unarguable" claim that being a member of Stonewall's Diversity Champions programme has biased the Crown Prosecution Service on LGBT+ issues.
The attempted judicial review was brought by an anonymous 15-year-old girl backed by anti-trans pressure group Safe Schools Alliance, who crowdfunded over £35,000 to challenge the CPS LGBT+ hate crime guidance for schools. Anti-trans campaigners have used crowdfunding sites to raise almost £1 million to fund at least 18 UK lawsuits against trans rights within the last four years.
The CPS, which conducts criminal prosecutions in England and Wales, launched its LGBT+ bullying and hate crimes schools pack in January 2020.
The guidance was supposed to help teachers tackle LGBT+ hate crimes in classrooms, but was withdrawn by the CPS when the Safe Schools Alliance sent a letter threatening legal action against it in the form of a judicial review.
The scope of the legal action later widened to include the CPS' membership of LGBT+ charity Stonewall's Diversity Champions programme, whose mission is "ensuring all LGBT staff are accepted without exception in the workplace". More than 850 UK employers are signed up.
Dismissing the case, High Court judge Mr Justice Cavanagh refused the challenge to the CPS LGBT+ hate crimes guidance and ruled the proposed judicial review "unarguable".
The judge said: "There is no basis for asserting that the individual prosecutor will be influenced in any way by the CPS' status as a Diversity Champion."
The anonymous girl's lawyers argued that the CPS was biased by Stonewall's "pro-trans ideology".
But Duncan Penny QC, representing the CPS, told the High Court Tuesday (12 January) that the Diversity Champions programme was simply "designed to create a more inclusive environment".
In his ruling, Mr Justice Cavanagh said CPS membership of the programme was not "capable of giving rise to actual bias or the appearance of bias in relation to prosecutorial decisions".
He added: "I do not accept that it is arguable that the status (as a member of the programme) means that the CPS has aligned itself with a political pressure group.
"The CPS maintains its membership as a Stonewall Diversity Champion in its capacity as an employer, not in relation to its capacity or functions as a prosecutorial authority. The status has nothing to do with the CPS' role in relation to prosecutorial decisions."
Commenting on the case being thrown out, Stonewall boss Nancy Kelley said: "We're delighted to hear the judicial review against the Crown Prosecution Service and its membership to our Diversity Champions programme has not been granted.
"Far from causing 'bias', our Diversity Champions programme helps organisations like the CPS tackle the prejudice and discrimination LGBT+ staff face in their workplaces.
"By working with us, the CPS is working to ensure their LGBT+ staff are free from discrimination at work, and showing they care about creating an inclusive workplace. Yet, for doing so, they were made the target of an unfounded and baseless legal attack that misrepresents Stonewall's work. It is not biased to make your workplace accepting of LGBT+ people.
"But this case exposes the hostility directed at employers who are working to improve the lives of their LGBT+ staff. It also highlights the disingenuous attempts to discourage public authorities not just from working with Stonewall, but from their delivering commitments to LGBT+ equality."


Solna Centrum is situated in one of Sweden's fastest growing cities, just a few kilometres north of Stockholm's city centre. Well-connected to public transport, Solna Centrum is easily accessible by metro, bus, and tram. The shopping centre includes over 100 stores and several restaurants. It also provides daily-life services such as medical and dental offices, as well as a library.

Legendary Comic Artist Eduardo Barreto, Dead at 57
Another Giant of the Comics Industry passes away
2011 is slated to be one of the most devastating years for the comics industry, as it has been previously reported legendary comic artists and creators Joe Simon and Jerry Robinson had passed away within the last couple weeks. Now the comics world is coping with the death of famed artist Eduardo Barreto, who has passed away at the way too young age of 57.
DC Comics along with other sources have confirmed that Mr. Barreto passed away on December 15; he had reportedly lost his long term battle with Meningitis, he is survived by his children Diego and Andrea.
In a statement from DC:
"I was saddened to hear of the passing of Eduardo Barreto. His work helped to chart the course of many DC Comics' characters, from Superman to the New Teen Titans. Personally, I was a fan of his work from his time here at DC Comics." – Dan DiDio, Co-Publisher, DC Entertainment
"With his impeccable draftsmanship and attention to nuance and detail, Eduardo Barreto was a true artist's artist. A mainstay of DC Comics, he was one of the key artists during the 1980s who not only helped define the look and feel of the DC Universe but got me hooked on the Teen Titans. His incredible work and vision will be missed." – Jim Lee, Co-Publisher, DC Entertainment
The Staff of SCIFI.radio would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the families of these incredible men; they helped us to dream, wonder, and explore exciting and fantastic new worlds of bravery and hope.
Gentlemen, we salute you.

Here are the Internet's Most Burning Borderlands 3 Questions
The most burning Borderlands questions, according to THE INTERNET.
By Seth Macy
Updated: 14 Jan 2020 5:33 am
Posted: 17 Apr 2019 7:40 pm
We've scoured the web and drawn from a combination of sources including search traffic, trending terms, forum posts and our own curiosity, to attempt to answer the web's most burning questions surrounding Borderlands 3.
This list will be updated as we get ever closer to the release date, and will live on even after release, as people turn to the internet to find tips, locations, and other information related to the game itself.
Is Borderlands 3 an Epic Store Exclusive?
A whole lot of people are asking, and even more people are unhappy with the answer. The short answer is "yes," Borderlands 3 on PC will be exclusive to the Epic Store, a fact many fans are unhappy with.
On April 1, shortly after the PAX East teaser trailer and official reveal Randy Pitchford said distribution was out of Gearbox's hands, but also said he didn't mind "shopping at other stores." He hinted at timed-exclusivity in the same tweet, saying "To me, exclusives are fine when they come w/ advantages and when they are short – say, six months."
Later, Pitchford explained at length why he believes Epic Store exclusivity is a good thing, bringing up Steam's revenue sharing policy and saying, in short, he believes it's good for everyone to have a viable Steam competitor.
Have you played Borderlands 3?
Where are the Borderlands 3 Teaser Trailers?
There are 2 teaser trailers for Borderlands 3: the first of which, Mask of Mayhem, came out ahead of the official reveal. The 4K gameplay reveal was shown during the PAX East 2019 Gearbox keynote, after some slight technical difficulties.
The official Borderlands 3 announcement trailer, showing off the new Vault Hunters and their adversaries in the Calypso Twins, came out on April 3.
What's Up With That Borderlands 3 Leak?
You may have heard about a leak from tomorrow's gameplay reveal. We don't know if it's 100% legit, though it allegedly came from an Echocast test on Gearbox's official Twitch channel.
The leak apparently shows off new HUD elements, weapons ratings and firing modes, and a look at the new voice of CL4P-TP.
What Exactly Is the Borderlands 3 Diamond Loot Chest?
Lots of people online are searching for the contents of the Borderlands 3 Diamond Loot Chest. The Borderlands 3 Diamond Loot Chest Collector's Edition is the ultimate tier Borderlands 3 edition. It was initially a GameStop and 2K Store exclusive, but it's already sold out at GameStop. From our Borderlands 3 preorder guide, it includes the following items:
Diamond Loot Chest Replica: Featuring a functional retractable lid, this chest is perfect for storing your real-world loot
Borderlands 3 Character Figurines (x10): Make room on your shelf for the whole crew, including the four new Vault Hunters, the fanatical Calypso Twins, and some of your favorite characters from the Borderlands universe!
Sanctuary 3 Snap Model: Construct your very own Sanctuary 3 model ship and display it proudly on its included stand
Vault Key Keychains (x4): Because you never know when you might stumble across an unopened Vault
Cloth Galaxy Map: Discover new worlds beyond Pandora with Typhon DeLeon's map of the Borderlands
Character Art Lithographs (x5): Unique character prints starring the new Vault Hunters and fanatical Calypso Twins
Borderlands 3 Steelbook Case: A gorgeous metal case for any collector's shelf
Who Are the Borderlands 3 Vault Hunters?
There are 4 new Vault Hunters in Borderlands 3, each with their own unique abilities, specialties, and stories. From the official Borderlands 3 website:
Moze: "gunner who can digistruct and pilot a mech."
Amara: "siren who can summon and smash enemies with ethereal fists."
FL4K: "beastmaster whose pets prey upon bandits."
Zane:"operative who uses gadgets to cause chaos on the battlefield.
What Is the Borderlands 3 Release Date?
The good news is we don't have to wait too terribly long for the next chapter in the Borderlands saga. The official Borderlands 3 release date is September 13, 2019. To see the different versions available for preorder and what they include, refer back to our Borderlands 3 preorder guide.
What's Up With the Borderlands 3 Box Art?
The box art for Borderlands 3 is a slight departure from the previous numbered games in that the Psycho on the front isn't blowing his brains out with finger guns. Instead, we see a holy Psycho surrounded by roses and weapons. There are secrets hiding in the box art for Borderlands 3, at least when it was shown on the Borderlands Twitch channel. Apparently a hidden message promises the return of the Destroyer, the final boss from the original Borderlands.
What Voice Actors Are Coming Back for Borderlands 3?
Ashly Burch will reprise her role as Tiny Tina in Borderlands 3, but while Rhys from Tales From the Borderlands is in Borderlands 3, voice actor Troy Baker will not be voicing the character. There's some confusion as to what happened with the casting. Baker said he would like to voice the character again, but Pitchford said he was "told by the audio director that [Baker] turned it down."
Is Borderlands 3 a Battle Royale?
What's Up With the Borderlands 3 Walking Gun?
The PAX East 2019 Borderlands 3 teaser promised "over 1 billion guns," including a gun with legs. Gun manufacturers confirmed for Borderlands 3 are Jakobs, Dahl, Atlas, Torgue, Hyperion, Tediore, Vladof, Maliwan and COV (Children of the Vault).
Will Borderlands 3 Have Crossplay?
The question of Borderlands 3's cross-platform functionality is still up in the air. Shortly after the reveal, Microsoft listed cross-play as a function in Borderlands 3 in the listing in the Xbox store, but eventually pulled the description down. On Twitter, Randy Pitchford said "no promises" when asked about it, saying it depends on how well it works. At the moment, "It's not done and not everyone is playing well with another," he said.
Which Borderlands Characters are Coming Back for Borderlands 3?
From the trailers, we can see which characters from the previous Borderlands games will return for Borderlands 3 when it releases in September. Here is the list of returning Borderlands characters spotted so far:
Tiny Tina
Marcus Kincaid
Patricia Tannis
Moxxi
Lady Aurelia Hammerlock
Not returning are Handsome Jack and Scooter. During the PAX East Gearbox keynote, Pitchford said the Handsome Jack mask in the Mayhem teaser was an intentional fake-out, and later during the presentation said Scooter is most definitely dead.

We have observed a novel transformation from a microemulsion to a gel phase by increasing the water content of a system consisting of bis(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT), phosphatidycholine(lecithin), and 2,2,4 -trimethylpentane (isooctane). The viscosity increases by six orders of magnitude and a rigid gel forms as the water content is increased above a specific threshold. Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments on this surfactant mesophase reveal the microstructure as columnar hexagonal at lower water contents and temperatures, and lamellar at higher water contents and temperatures. SANS is also able to capture the transition between these two structures. These structures are thermally reversible. Differential scanning calorimetery results show no abrupt phase transitions in the gel system with increasing temperature.
For low water and surfactant contents (W0=20, total surfactant concentration in isooctane = 0.01M), microemulsion droplets are formed. SANS experimental data fits well with the polydisperse sphere morphology and a gradual increase in the droplet size is observed as the lecithin/ AOT ratio is increased. The different packing parameters for AOT and lecithin drive the observed changes in droplet sizes. For lecithin/ AOT molar ratios approaching unity, both SANS and static light scattering measurements reveal an attractive interaction develops between these droplets, leading to the formation of clusters. Hydrodynamic radii obtained from dynamic light scattering measurements show results that are consistent with the SANS data.

POMPANO BEACH, FL--(Marketwire - November 26, 2008) - Thanks to the newly formed Shop To Earth Foundation, disabled children and their families will be getting a special Thanksgiving dinner from God's Little Acres, a South Florida non-profit providing recreational opportunities to special needs children.
In conjunction with announcing the official Shop To Earth Foundation, Shop To Earn / Shop To Earth Founder, Pat Welsh and Shop To Earn President, Dan Swiniarski presented God's Little Acres with a $5,000 donation at the Next Step convention in Miami. Bob and Joan Nast, Owners of God's Little Acres, who are both ShopToEarth.net brokers, were invited on stage at the convention to share the story about their charity and how Shop To Earn has contributed to its success.
Attendees at the convention were so inspired by the God's Little Acres story that many of Shop To Earn's top producers matched the donation given by the Shop To Earth Foundation. As a result, God's Little Acres received an impromptu $45,000 to benefit the South Florida children's charity.
"We are going to be giving out over 100 turkeys and other Thanksgiving meal dishes," said Bob Nast. "Without the donation from the Shop To Earth Foundation and the generous Shop To Earn members, we would have never been able to make Thanksgiving happen for our families."
The Shop To Earth Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting eco-friendly non-profit organizations that support: preservation of ecosystems, environmental health, clean water, renewable energy technologies, global warming research, recycling methods, and the reduction of chemicals in food stock.
"We struggled to make necessary improvements at the God's Little Acres ranch and did not have the funds to host our yearly fundraiser," said Joan Nast. "We have been blessed as members of Shop To Earth because it has provided income that we are able to use to support our foundation."
Empowering its members to choose a lifestyle of better health and increased wealth, the goal of Shop To Earn and Shop To Earth is to increase environmental awareness and social responsibility. Through its alliances with the biggest name retailers in traditional and environmentally friendly products, Shop To Earth members have access to natural, organic, and earth-friendly brands. While purchasing these products, Shop To Earth members receive a percentage of cash back on all their purchases through the Shop To Earn/Shop To Earth portals.

KVUE – About 100 people showed up to the Regency Hotel on Barton Springs Monday night to hear a nationally known urban developer talk about what could become of the South Shore of Lady Bird Lake.
John Fregonese told KVUE News that the South Shore of Lady Bird Lake from South First eastward to near Joe's Crab Shack on East Riverside is one of the most invaluable pieces of property especially for housing.
"Over the next 10 to 15 years we expect another 10,000 residents in that little 88-acre parcel," Fregonese said.
Students with the University of Texas School of Architecture worked pro bono on artist renderings showing streetscapes with retail, office and residential spaces.
Fregonese said Monday night's gathering was a follow up to a similar event last June when urban developers from across the country took a boat tour of Lady Bird Lake. Those experts also offered artists conceptions of what the South Shore of Lady Bird Lake could become over the next two decades.

Dena Bank, Vijaya Bank Become Part Of Bank Of Baroda: 10 Things To Know
by Eric April 1, 2019 Banking
Bank of Baroda merger: The combination creates the third largest bank in the country in terms of assets
State-run Dena Bank and Vijaya Bank are a part of Bank of Baroda from today, marking the first-ever three-way merger in India's banking sector. The amalgamation of Vijaya Bank and Dena Bank into Bank of Baroda, first announced in September last year, comes into force from April 1, 2019. The development creates the country's third largest public sector bank, and comes into effect days after the Supreme Court dismissed petitions seeking a grant of stay on the mega merger.
Here are 10 things to know about the merger of the three state-run banks:
The merger comes as part of the government's efforts to tackle lakhs of crores of bad loans plaguing the sector and revive credit growth.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has on several occasions stressed the need to have stronger consolidated banks, which could have economies of scale and operational efficiencies.
The government is reportedly studying various models of PSU bank consolidationthough a concrete decision will be taken only after the success of the Bank of Baroda (BoB) merger.
"The success of the Bank of Baroda merger will be looked at closely before deciding on a future course," news agency IANS quoted a source as saying last week.
The government owns majority stakes in 21 banks that account for more than two-thirds of the banking assets in the country.
According to the scheme of amalgamation, the businesses of Vijaya Bank and Dena Bank are transferred to Bank of Baroda. The permanent and regular officials of Vijaya Bank and Dena Bank are now transferred to the merged entity.
The three-way merger – creating the third largest PSU bank after SBI and PNB – creates a combined business of Rs. 14,82,422 crore (taking into account business worth Rs. 1,72,937 crore and Rs. 2,79,674 crore of Dena Bank and Vijaya Bank respectively).
The amalgamation comes into force two years after five associate banks and Bharatiya Mahila Bank became a part of State Bank of India (SBI).
For the quarter ended December 31, Bank of Baroda reported a more than four times increase in net profit, though it still failed to meet Street estimates due to higher provisions for bad loans.
Bank of Baroda shares have declined 4.7 per cent down since announcement of the merger in September.
