Examine the two announcements Supervalu (SVU) made this week, and it looks as if the company is preparing to launch all kinds of new store operations.
One announcement detailed changes that will bring broader retail experience to the supermarket operator's board of directors. Supervalu said it plans to name former Canadian Tire president and CEO Wayne Sales as its chairman.
The board also nominated Matthew Rubel, chairman and CEO of Payless Shoe parent Collective Brands (PSS), to stand for board elections at the company's annual meeting in June.
Placing Sales and Rubel on the board will provide additional and extensive knowledge of general merchandise retailing. Rubel's background is in discount apparel, but Sales has broader experience. At Canadian Tire, Sales helped revitalize the operation and introduced housewares into a store concept that had previously stood on three legs, automotive, hardware and sporting goods. Canadian Tire figured out that a lot of the manly goods it sold were being purchased for by women for their men and even themselves. Shrewdly, the Sale-era team saw an opportunity to boost revenues and took it. The company acquired and expanded a specialty apparel operation, Mark's Work Warehouse, and experimented with clothing operations in its Canadian Tire stores.
And before his stint in Canada, Sales was a senior executive with Kmart.
Ironically, just weeks prior to its announcement about Sales and Rubel, Supervalu divested itself of its biggs division, which consisted of hypermarkets that carried an extensive general merchandise assortment. However, the company still has extensive general merchandise operations.
Supervalu bought a big chunk of Albertsons when that company broke up in 2006 and, in doing so, acquired a lot of combo stores, which combine a full supermarket with a full drug store operation. In fact, Jewel, one of the best regarded of the chains Supervalu acquired, was in the forefront of combo store development, branding the ones it operated Jewel-Osco. Namesake stores often had a pharmacy paring as well, operating under the name Albertsons-Sav-on. Supervalu expanded combo-store operations to other of the chains it acquired including Shaw's in New England, which opened a number of Shaws Osco locations.
However, early in the consolidation process that followed the Albertsons acquisitions, Supervalu seemed to cool on combo stores.
Perhaps for good reason. Before it grabbed the Albertsons properties, Supervalu was as much a grocery distributor as retailer. Although it earns almost 80 percent of its revenues from retail today, it still has a big distribution organization, one that posted sales of $2 billion in the fourth quarter. Yet, that total was down from $2.3 billion in the year-earlier period. The overwhelming cause of that decline was Target (TGT).
Supervalu has been Target's primary perishables food supplier, but the customer is doing more self-distribution. The arrangement between the two companies always has been a little odd. In markets such as Chicago, Target â€" with both supercenters and P-Fresh expanded food discount stores -- and Supervalu â€" via Jewel-Osco â€" are big competitors. The arrangement was matter of necessity at first as Target's food operation, until recently, was too small to warrant development of an expensive perishables distribution operation. As Target food operations became more extensive, it became increasingly evident that the two companies would go their separate ways. Supervalu's 2011 guidance calls for a three percent drop in distribution sales, again because of Target.
So, Supervalu is putting itself into a better position to develop new operations and even new store varieties. Keep in mind that it's relatively new CEO Craig Herkert is a former head of Walmart Americas, which, although skipping the United States, operates myriad different kinds of retail stores from Canada to Argentina. Also, Canadian Tire runs an extensive fuel and convenience store operation, which means Sales has a wealth of knowledge on those fronts that Supervalu can use to its advantage. Put it all the pieces together, and it looks as if Supervalu is going to try new things, based perhaps on its combo stores but likely with new general merchandise ideas included.

Term Sheet — Wednesday, May 9
BYPolina Marinova
May 9, 2018, 1:50 PM UTC
5 Qs WITH A DEALMAKER
Good morning, Term Sheet readers.
Upfront Ventures partner Kara Nortman is innately curious.
It's why she listened to Tinder's Sean Rad when he told her he had a dating app idea. It's why she constantly asks her portfolio founders to evaluate her effectiveness. It's also why she has a Gen Z mentor.
Nortman, who has been a founder, an executive, and a venture capitalist during her career, regularly consults with a 21-year-old tech entrepreneur to better understand the Gen Z demographic.
She casually mentioned this to me during our 30-minute conversation. "It started just because I wanted to be helpful to a young woman who I knew was talented," Nortman said. "At some point, I realized I was learning more from her than she was from me. It constantly reminds me not to be ageist or industry-ist."
Nortman's mentor Tiffany Zhong told Term Sheet that they talk about everything from the personal (should Nortman get her kids smartphones?) to the cultural (do not use excessive hashtags on Twitter) to the professional (discussing the psychology of a teen consumer).
In a conversation with Term Sheet, Nortman discusses her career trajectory, what she looks for in founders before investing, and why she thinks empathy is a competitive advantage. Read the full Q&A here.
TERM SHEET: You were only 24 years old when you first served on a company's board. You've said that a high EQ made up for your lack of experience. What did those early experiences teach you about being an effective board member?
NORTMAN: I got my first two board seats when I was 24 and 25. In one of them, I was doing everything. I was literally given the instructions to go in there, fire the CEO, make all sorts of changes, and make sure it survives. I had never done any of those things before. Very simply, I applied the golden rule of "Treat others the way you want to be treated."
So you go in and you look at the income statement, figure your what the burn rate is, figure out what the revenue is, and figure out how to extend it and survive. A lot of it is about listening and having empathy, which is stuff that didn't always seem like a competitive advantage. In the last year, it seems like it is.
How has empathy become a competitive advantage in venture?
NORTMAN: I think a lot of people in venture think that being kind and being tough are mutually exclusive. I actually believe that when you figure out how to put those things together, you are the most effective. Start with a compliment before you tear in to someone. Once you've been tough with someone, give them some hope.
I experienced this when I worked for [IAC/InterActiveCorp Chairman] Barry Diller. When he had lost faith in you, there was no more yelling. There was just silence. Anyone who spends the time to be tough cares, so how you wrap that present and deliver it is what actually makes the impact.
Speaking of IAC, you were the executive who recruited Sean Rad & gave him his first business plan. What did that initial business plan entail?
NORTMAN: Sean had already started two companies in L.A, and I had some really strong references on him. It was not easy to recruit founders into IAC because the equity they would receive was tiny compared to what they would do on their own. But Sean and I hit it off, and he had just come out of a hard startup situation, so he was looking more for purpose and connection than money at the time.
The original plan when I recruited him was for a company called Cardify, [a local rewards program.] I did it to save CitySearch [a city guide] because CitySearch was one of the businesses that I was running at IAC. Its data set was corrupted, and all these things were going on with it.
We were essentially going to build a loyalty product — the Uber for loyalty. It would use location data and know that a person showed up to the same restaurant, and the next time they showed up, we'd just say, "Oh we already have your table reserved in the corner."
And then Sean came in and said, "Hey, I can use the exact same backend tech to know that one person showed up at a Clippers game one night and another person showed up at a Lakers game, and they're one step removed on Facebook — maybe they want to date."
It was pretty controversial at the time because this was being incubated essentially out of CitySearch, and there were two other projects being incubated out of Match and out of corporate that were trying to do the same thing. It was this covert, quiet, like "Why is CitySearch incubating a dating project" type of thing.
What are some elements founders should be looking for in VCs before deciding to partner with them?
NORTMAN: I think it's different at different stages. At the institutional seed or Series A stage, it's about the psychology of the founder. In the process, are you anxious every time you're talking to the investor? Do you walk away from conversations feeling inspired or energized or nervous? Do they say what they're say going to do? Just the very basic question of how do interactions with this person make me feel is so important because it's never better than when you're being courted. It's only going to get worse, so if you're not feeling great at the beginning, it's going to get worse.
Many founders think that VCs are great for helping with introductions or recruiting, and they over-prioritize those things. It's not about how many introductions you make, but about how helpful those introductions have been to the founder. I ask my entrepreneurs all the time — "What's my batting average? How many of the people have been useful and how many have completely wasted your time?"
You recently tweeted that 50% of the companies in your personal portfolio are led by a female CEO. Industry-wide, though, female founders received 2% of all venture funding last year. What needs to happen for this stat to change?
NORTMAN: We need to get more women into venture funds. You come into a partnership, you see a female face, and you have someone you feel reaching out to.
Another one is really pushing yourself as a VC — men and women included — to look at the world and recognize there's a huge advantage to funding people who are of different ages, different stages, different places, and different parts of the world. Think about the people come in and pitch your partnership. Think about the way you manage communications. Think about how much it requires for an entrepreneur to pitch you exactly the way you want them to.

Jarvis wants to make the most of his first team opportunity
Aaron Jarvis celebrates scoring against Brighton U21s
Published: 16:42 Wednesday 12 September 2018
Striker Aaron Jarvis is determined to make the most of his chance to feature for the Hatters first team this season.
The former Basingstoke forward has seen his route to the starting 11 blocked by the likes of Danny Hylton, James Collins, Elliot Lee, Harry Cornick and Jake Jervis since arriving at Luton.
There's a lot of work gone into him, a year and bit's work gone into him and hopefully we're seeing a bit more fruition now.
However, with Jervis now a AFC Wimbledon until the end of the term, there is every chance for Jarvis to stake a claim, as he said: "It's less competition for me now, Jake's out on loan and hopefully if I get my chance, I can take it.
"It's been hard for me to get the game time, there's been much more experienced strikers ahead of me, but the Checkatrade (Trophy) games are good for me and a few other boys who need the minutes."
The forward has been at Kenilworth Road for just over a year and on his progress during a first 12 months as a professional, he said: "I think my movement off the ball, linking up with midfielders and other players, just bringing other players into the game.
"I'm holding the ball up more, my overall confidence and finishing as well, every aspect of my game improves.
"It's been an eye-opener for me, a brilliant year.
"There's been ups and downs, but it's just a massive learning curve for me.
"I'm learning every day, every week, just keep working hard and it feels like home now. It feels like I've been doing it for years, just very natural, get up, get to training, work hard, and the next day comes, just keep going.
"Of course, with all the training, the gym routines, I will get physically bigger and stronger, so hopefully I can kick on and get a few more minutes and some more goals.
Jarvis is clearly impressing boss Nathan Jones, as after scoring in the 2-1 win over Brighton U21s on Tuesday night, he came off the bench for the final five minutes of Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Doncaster Rovers.
On his obvious improvement, Jones said: "I hope so (it shows), because we're that type of club who do that.
"We took him from Basingstoke and the boy was working in Tesco, but he's shown that he's developed massively.
"I thought he was excellent (against Brighton), he led the line, he grafts, he works, he's brave, he goes in for headers, he took his goal, his movement was excellent.
"There's a lot of work gone into him, a year and bit's work gone into him and hopefully we're seeing a bit more fruition now as we let Jake Jervis go on the premise that we have five at the club.
"Aaron's one of the five, so we would love him to step up."
Although Jarvis has had to play second or even third fiddle to his more experienced team-mates, he knows his game has improved because of them.
After being paired with Harry Cornick in midweek, he said: "It's brilliant, I can learn a lot off them.
"We've got experienced strikers everywhere and they're all brilliant.
"Me and Harry worked well together, we're both quite quick and we just got in behind them and caused them a problem."
The manner of Jarvis' goal against the Seagulls impressed with the coollness of his finish, volleying home from close range, as he said: "JJ's (James Justin) just hung it up, Granty's (Jorge Grant) has gone for it, he's just missed it, I just read it and swung my leg at it.
"I should have scored a few more, but I think the match sharpness will come with the more games.
"I felt I was getting a bit tired second half, so I'll be sharper in front of goal and hopefully I can get a few more.
"It could have been six or seven realistically, but the goalie made some brilliant saves. Playing in front of the crowd, it gives you a buzz and the confidence overall, you just want to work hard and score more goals."

New to the world of pay-per-click advertising? Wondering how to get started? Here's an infographic that will walk you through the initial steps and things you should be thinking about to help your campaigns get off to a great start.
Segmentation is critical in the overall success of pay-per-click campaigns. Think about how your business is categorized. It may be as simple as 2 different pet foods you sell. Break it down further from there. What kinds of pet food do you sell in each category? These become your ad groups.
Next comes keyword selection. Take time to conduct through keyword research. Be as granular as you can and choose unique, long-tail keywords in each ad group. Try to think as potential customers searching for your product would. What words or phrases would they use to find your product or service? Create ads with text that is specific to the keywords and searches that will trigger them so that they are as relevant as possible. This will yield high click-through rates and great quality scores.

What is there to tell you? he said to an unknown audience in his mind. What's the difference who I am or if I am? The audience shifted in their seats, yawned. All right, said Kleinzeit, let me put it this way: you read a book, and in the book there's this man sitting in his room all alone. Right? The audience nodded. Right, said Kleinzeit. But he isn't really alone, you see. The writer is there to tell about it, you're there to read about it. He's not alone the way I'm alone. You're not alone when there's somebody there to see it and tell about it. Me, I'm alone. What else is new? said the audience. Possibility of nothing this evening, clearing towards morning, said a weather report. Let me put it this way, said Kleinzeit. This will bring us down to fundamentals: I have a Gillette Techmatic razor. The blade is a continuous band of steel, and after every five shaves I wind it to the next number. Number one is the last, which is of course significant, yes? Then I stay on number one for ten, fifteen shaves maybe, before I get a new cartridge. I ask myself why. There you have it, eh? The audience had left, the empty seats yawned at him. Kleinzeit got out of the train, poured into the morning rush in the corridor. Among the feet he saw a sheet of yellow paper, A4 size, on the floor, unstepped-on. He picked it up. Clean on both sides. He put it in his attaché case. He rode up on the escalator, looking up the skirt of the girl nine steps above him. Bottom of the morning, he said to himself.

Don't worry about the form, and don't worry about beginnings, middles and endings, take hold of the thing, wherever you can, whatever of an idea presents itself to you, whether it's the foot or the elbow, grab it, and work out from there. Don't expect too much of yourself, but – just as people who are thrifty, and who save money – and don't wait until they've got fifty pounds to put in the bank, but put in a pound, or five pounds, or ten pounds, and it accumulates that way, do something every day. If you can only write a paragraph, do a paragraph. If you can write a page, do a page. A whole story, okay, an idea, okay, notes, whatever – just get into the habit of doing something every day. And, let the ideas develop as they will – don't require of yourself that you do a whole story or a whole novel, just do whatever you can – every day.

That trains mostly stay on rails, that the streets are mostly peaceful, that the square continues green and quiet below my window is more than I have any right to expect, and it happens every day.
That night the sea-thing child heard the air humming. He looked up at the sky for the star that he always looked at, but it was blotted out. He could not see the star with his eyes, but in the dark of his mind he saw it burning and flickering over the sea. The humming of the air grew louder, and the sea-thing child stepped out of his double circle and faced into the wind. The ocean was high and wild, and the sky and the sea roared together, heaving in the dark.
The sea-thing child spread his wings to keep from falling down, and the wind blew him backwards. He moved forwards against the wind, then he began to run, faster and faster. The beach slipped away under him, he laughed, and flapped his wings and flew up into the storm.

'To me it seems that the best we can hope for in this life is honesty of error; more than that is just not to be expected.'
The trains were not crowded and none of the passengers were talking into little telephones or smiling as they tapped out text messages. Some were reading books or newspapers. All of the faces, young, old, male, female, white and brown and black, were part of the many faces of the great sad thing that moves itself from here to there and back again in all forms of transport.

Papa John's brushes off Peyton Manning HGH allegations
December 29, 2015 by Dipka Bhambhani
The pizza chain is standing by the star quarterback after an Al Jazeera report linked him to the banned substance.
LOUISVILLE, KY: Peyton Manning is a "trusted friend" of the Papa John's brand and will continue to represent it despite recent allegations that he used human growth hormone, a spokesman for the company said Tuesday.
An investigative report by Al Jazeera released over the weekend said the Denver Broncos quarterback took HGH after his career-threatening neck surgery in 2011.
The National Football League star has adamantly denied he ever took the substance, which is banned in pro football. The Broncos and his former team, the Indianapolis Colts, have also issued statements of support.
"Papa John's is aware of the speculation. During the course of our relationship, [Manning] has represented himself, the game of football, and Papa John's with the utmost honor and integrity. Furthermore, he has been a trusted friend," said Peter Collins, senior director of PR for Papa John's, in a statement. "It is a shame for all his hard work, to have one of the greatest comebacks against all odds, that he has to deal with these allegations."
Papa John's began endorsing Manning in 2012, and the football legend owns 22 franchises in the Denver area.
Another Manning sponsor, Nationwide Insurance, issued a statement saying it is "monitoring the situation."
Other brands that Manning endorses — Gatorade, DirecTV, and Nike — have yet to comment on the allegations.
Manning is the NFL's top off-the-field earner. He makes $12 million via endorsement deals from those five brands and others, according to Forbes, and his 2015 salary from the Broncos is $15 million.
Media Xs and Os
At issue is a story by Al Jazeera posted on Saturday that claimed Manning received human growth hormone in 2011 from a medical clinic that mailed the substance to his wife. The story has gone viral, but Manning has vehemently denied the allegations in several interviews.
Players from across the NFL have come out in support of Manning, discounting any allegations.
The quarterback has hired Ari Fleischer, former President George W. Bush's first press secretary and the principal of Ari Fleischer Sports Communications, to serve as a spokesman.
Tuesday morning, Deborah Davies, the journalist behind the Al Jazeera report, said on Today that Manning has not denied that his wife received shipments of HGH and clarified, "We are not making the allegation against Peyton Manning."
Fleischer countered in a statement that the story "was not credible to begin with and it's not credible now."

Theology and Culture
A Guide to the Discussion
by D. Stephen Long
Imprint: Cascade Books
How can we speak about God without assuming that God is nothing but our own speaking, nothing but our culture's effort to name what cannot be named? How can we deny that our speaking of God is always culturally located? To answer these questions, we need to pay close attention to what we mean by culture, and how we use this very complex term both in our everyday language and especially in the language of faith. Culture is an exceedingly complex term that nearly everyone uses, but no one is sure what it means. This work examines various uses of the term culture in theology today.
D. Stephen Long is professor of theology at Marquette University. He has published a number of works, including Divine Economy: Theology and the Market (2000), The Goodness of God: Theology, Church, and the Social Order (2001), John Wesley's Moral Theology: The Quest for God and Goodness (2005), and Calculated Future: Theology, Ethics, and Economics (2007).
"Modernity, Steve Long tells us with his patented acerbity, is a broken record that never stops repeating its supposed novelty. If broken records require sharp, swift smacks to be knocked out of their tiresome grooves, Long's palm-sized book delivers a salutary slap that gets us back on track--and out of confused modern conceptualities that pit theology against culture. An excellent, masterly introduction to its topic."
--Rodney Clapp, author of A Peculiar People and Border Crossings
"Too many 'guides' pretend to a kind of theological neutrality that leads us nowhere. Steve Long's wonderful little book is a noted exception: here is a guide to the theological terrain that doesn't apologize for working with a compass. Providing a helpful survey of various schools of thought, the book also constitutes an argument for a particular theological understanding of culture. Long not only charts the territory, he also shows students how to plot a path through it. I've already been commending it to my students."
--James K. A. Smith, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Calvin College
"Long's book is filled with deep insight and strategic provocation, both of which ought to push the theology and culture conversation beyond its unexamined truisms and self-satisfied dogmas. This is a book for people who take their theology without cream or sugar."
--Brent Laytham, Associate Professor of Theology and Ethics, North Park Theological Seminary
"This work, as the title suggests, offers a bird's eye view of the state of play between theology and culture. It provides a valuable summary of the contribution of Richard Niebuhr to the subject, but also suggests there is a need to revise Niebuhr's classifications in the wake of the rising influence of the theology of Henri de Lubac common to both the Radical Orthodoxy and Communio Catholic scholars. From de Lubac's perspective, Christ transforms cultures, rather than standing aloof outside them. The dynamics of this transformation is now a pressing theological concern which flows over confessional boundaries."
--Tracey Rowland, author of Culture and the Thomist Tradition: After Vatican II (Radical Orthodoxy)


A peasant, lining in the town of Kenfig, once loved the daughter of the Norman Earl of Clare, but she refused him because of his lowly status. To obtain money he killed and robbed the local lord. He used his ill-gotten gains on grand clothes and general show of ostentation. Impressed, the girl promised to marry him. At the wedding feast, just as the guests were beginning to enjoy themselves, a voice was heard crying out a warning of vengeance. The guest asked obvious questions such as 'Why?' and 'When?' but merely received the reply, 'Vengeance will come at the end of the ninth generation.' They all laughed at this for none of them thought they would live as long as that.
But they did and one day a young man arrived in the town and announced that he was the ninth descendant. The voice was heard again, threatening vengeance. In fear the people fled indoors but it was of no avail, for suddenly there was an inrush of water and the whole town was overwhelmed in a large lake. Above the waters could be seen only a few chimneys, still smoking. On the surface were found gloves of the murdered man, which floated towards the newly-formed shore. There they were deposited at the feet of the young descendant. A voice was heard in the sky praising God.
To this day the legend has it that, on a quiet day when the water is clear the houses of the old town can be seen at the bottom of the lake; and if one listens carefully the bells of the old church can be heard ringing-- always, it is said, just before a storm.
It is a pity to spoil a good story, in this case, it would be historically satisfying to do so; and a glance at the sketch-map will do this. The old town of Kenfig was quite a way from the lake and so the houses can not possibly be under the water: and, even if it were physically possible for the bells to be heard ringing underneath the water, it will be seen that the town's church of St. James was nowhere near the pool.
This information will doubtlessly do nothing to dispel the stories of the bells ringing under the water which local children still tell today.
Louvain: "As a child a remember visiting Kenfig Pool with the junior school that was attending at the time. I will always remember standing in the water looking for the houses, chimneys' and listening out for the church bells!"

Q: Returning multiple values in if/else statement for Java I'm having a really hard time understanding how to exactly return a value based on multiple situations. If I choose to have return kg; from my readWeight() method, outside of the if statements, an error tells me that kg may have not been initialized. Isn't it initialized in my if statements? Could someone tell me exactly what I'm doing wrong? I really want to understand this. Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it.
public static void main(String[] args) {
    double kg = readWeight();
    System.out.println("Your dog weighs" + kg) ;
    System.out.println("Completed computing Kay9 Kibbles amount.") ;
}//end of main method

public static double convertLBtoKG(double lb) {
    final double KG_TO_LB_CONVERSION = 0.454 ;
    double kg = lb * KG_TO_LB_CONVERSION ;
    return kg ;
}//end of convertLBtoKG method

public static double readWeight(){
    Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in) ;
    System.out.println("Would you like to enter your dog's weight " +
                       "in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lb)?\n" +
                       "Enter k (for kg) or p (for lb):") ;
    char weight = keyboard.nextLine().charAt(0) ;
    double lb;
    double kg;

    if(weight == 'p' ){
        System.out.println("Enter your dog's weight in lb:") ;
        lb = keyboard.nextDouble() ;
        kg = convertLBtoKG(lb) ;
    }

    else if(weight == 'k'){
        System.out.println("Enter your dog's weight in kg:") ;
        kg = keyboard.nextDouble() ;
    }

    else if(weight != 'p' && weight != 'k'){
        System.out.println("I can't understand your choice; assuming kilograms.") ;
        System.out.println("Enter your dog's weight in kg:") ;
        kg = keyboard.nextDouble() ;
    }
    return kg ;
}

A: Simply initialize it to some default value :
double kg = 0.0;

A local variable must be initialized, and even though it looks like at least one of the if statements will always be true, and kg would be initialized within the respective block, the compiler might not be smart enough to realize that.
Another option that might work is to replace your last "else if" with "else".

A: Your code is basically
if (c1) {
    kg = ...
}
else if (c2) {
    kg = ...
}
else if (c3) {
    kg = ...
}
return kg;

So, if neither c1, nor c2, nor c3 is true, kg is never initialized. You need to make sure that every possible path ensures that kg is initialized. Your third else if clause is supposed to cover the cases not covered by the two first conditions. So, writing
 else if(weight != 'p' && weight != 'k') {

is redundant, and the compiler doesn't know that it covers all the remaining cases. The only way for it to know that it covers all the remaning cases is to use
else {

One of the four main Buddhist pilgrimage sites, identified as the place where Gautama Buddha attained Enlightenment. The first temple on the site was built by Emperor Asoka in the third century B.C., and the present temple dates from the fifth or sixth centuries. It is one of the earliest Buddhist temples built entirely in brick, still standing in India, from the late Gupta period. The site was largely abandoned from the twelfth-eighteenth centuries. It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002.

Heel Tough Blog: Ashtin's Analysis - Oregon
810 The Spread
UNC entered the Holiday Bowl needing a win that could salvage what was a good year for the Tar Heels that turned sour late. UNC fought hard against the higher ranked team but could not get it done against the 15th ranked Oregon Ducks. It took a late fourth quarter drive engineered by Bo Nix to get it done for the Ducks, but they did get it done, winning 28-27 on an extra point that kissed off the left upright for the win.
You cannot say that UNC did not fight hard if you watched the game, as the Heels were making plays and at one point in the fourth quarter held a ten point lead. Oregon made one more play than the Heels in the end. As you could imagine, this was a disappointing loss as UNC held the lead for the majority of the game but could not close it out in the end.
It was the fourth straight loss for UNC as the end of the season has gone south from the team's 9-1 record. If there was one guy to not blame for the UNC loss, it was Drake Maye. He looked about back to normal against a very good Oregon defense without his top 2 receivers Josh Downs and Antione Green. Maye threw for 206 yards on 51% completion percentage. Not his best stats, but the 3 touchdowns through the air make up for it. He made several NFL-level throws over the course of the game, two of which were touchdown throws to Bryson Nesbit and Kobe Paysour.
UNC failed to come up with the win but showed several positive signs heading into the offseason. Here are three positive signs from my point of view:
1. The Receiving Group Is In Fine Hands:
I mentioned Paysour, but how about Andre Green Jr? The true freshman had 3 catches for 26 yards, including a beautiful catch in the back of the end zone on another perfect ball by Maye. He and Paysour could become Maye's favorite targets next year along with transfers Nate McCollum and Devontez Walker. Not to mention Bryson Nesbit and John Copenhaver will be back in the tight end room.
2. UNC Locked Like the Better Team for Three and a Half Quarters:
UNC held a 21-14 lead heading into the fourth quarter and looked like the better team. They were getting stops, moving the ball, and not making too many mistakes, which has doomed them at other points in the season. UNC had young players making plays throughout the game and had veterans providing leadership and playmaking when needed. If they can play as they played in the first three-quarters next year, they could be dangerous.
3. The Defense Has Two Monsters for Linebackers:
The linebacker duo of Power Echols and Ced Gray was the best tandem in the ACC this season, and they aren't done. Both will be back wreaking havoc in Gene Chizik's scheme next year. This will be fun. Both players finished the season with 100+ tackles and Gray was top 5 in the country with 144. Power made numerous plays throughout the year and will only get better next year. The only thing stopping this group will be injuries next year.
So UNC showed several positive signs in a loss to the Ducks on Wednesday. They move into the offseason with a 9-5 record and plenty of things to work on.

American Criminal: New Post: "Escaping a Prison of Fear in Life"
New Post: "Escaping a Prison of Fear in Life"
When are you most afraid?
and the risk of physical harm or even death?
perhaps telling a large number of people your thoughts in a public presentation?
What about parenthood? Or marriage?
Perhaps it is the opposite, and fearful of being alone... forever?
Is it the loss of freedom through physical limitations from injuries?
you are never truly known, understood, or fully accepted as you are?
In the face of certain fears, how do you cope?
Do you physically tremble? Studder in your speaking?
Or maybe you hide - from the circumstance, other people, or even yourself?
How long will this go on??
What if we face the fear?
What if we face the pain?
What if we faced the possibility of rejection head-on?
The best long-distance athletes concentrate even more intensely on their running, cycling, or swimming when they experience grueling pain.
To persevere, we need a vision for the future that's bigger than our pain.
We may not see it clearly, and we may not like the process of getting there, but we have to be convinced in the depths of our hearts that enduring the pain will someday be worth it.
This confidence enables us to raise the threshold of pain so we can respond with courage and hope.
has sucked us dry of strength, or possibility.
and we cannot keep moving forward in this world the same.
People will continue to suspect us, and we feel the need to over-perform.
is permission to love and approve of ourselves again.
How do we escape form this cage that holds us back?
Not by looking to others for acceptance.
Not by seeking material wealth.
Not by gaining prestige through accomplishments.
And not by hiding, lieing, or self-sabotage.
just one thing to focus on that will give you confidence in yourself again.
then do it, and learn to do it well!
Do it until you feel a sense of some sort of mastery.
The continue until God shows you what you could do next with Him.
Then expand until you can do two things well!
then maybe as helping to pick-up trash at a park.
and prepares us for other things ahead.
But the fear which traps us and holds us captive wont let go easily!
and that we can never accomplish anything worthwhile again.
And he is right, until we ask God to show us where we can begin to recover.
God can provide a way that starts to help us heal and grow.
Dont listen to the people who want to hold you back- including yourself.
getting better at what we have been given.
just focus on doing a few small things well!
And let have God show us when we may be able to take on more.
The prison door is open, now - will you walk through it?

Man Found Guilty in a Murder Mystery Cracked By Cousins' DNA
Latest News and Solutions
The trial of William Earl Talbott II hinged on a lead from a genealogy site. The verdict will shape the future of crime-fighting and genetic privacy.

The word pierced a momentary hush that had settled over the packed courtroom, where a line of people stretched out into the hall. The word that the families of Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg had been waiting for more than three decades to hear: "guilty." After a day and a half of deliberations, a Snohomish County jury found William Earl Talbott II guilty on two counts of aggravated murder in the first degree for the deaths of the young Canadian couple. They disappeared during an overnight trip to Seattle on November 18, 1987—their bodies recovered in rural western Washington a few days later, each bearing the marks of the violent ends they met.
The decision, delivered late Friday morning, is a momentous victory for a new kind of genetic detective work that builds on the spit kit results of genealogy-curious relatives.
It cracked open the Snohomish County case when investigators worked with a private company to trace semen left at one of the crime scenes to Talbott through two cousins who had uploaded their own genetic information to a public database called GEDMatch. Such sites help people build family trees and trace their ancestral roots through shared DNA, a practice known as genetic genealogy. Recently, police departments and the FBI have begun using the method to dig up suspects. Genetic genealogy has already been used to advance dozens of cold cases since it very publicly resulted in the arrest of the suspected Golden State Killer last April. But until Talbott's case went to trial at the beginning of this month, the technique had never been tested in court.
The Talbott verdict is the first 12-person vote of confidence in genetic genealogy's ability to not just put a name to a drop of blood or skin cells lifted from a fingerprint or a semen-soaked swab, but to help prosecutors prove that the person behind that name also committed the crime they've been accused of. It's an outcome that could favorably impact other cases currently making their way to court in other states, even if just to bolster public opinion.
But even more significantly, the image of Talbott gasping as the jury read out their verdict signals to law enforcement agencies all over the country that genetic genealogy is good for more than just generating leads and making arrests, it's good for getting convictions too. And that has huge implications for both the future of crime-fighting and genetic privacy.
"We didn't know whether juries might be skeptical of evidence that police came about through this means, or whether they'd think maybe that it's a problematic investigative tool" says Andrea Roth, director of UC Berkeley's Center for Law and Technology. "The main thing this teaches us that we didn't know yesterday is that you can convince a lay jury to convict someone found as a suspect through genetic genealogy."
Roth and other legal experts have raised concerns that this new phenomenon of police rifling through non-criminal databases violates principles of informed consent and threatens citizens' constitutional protections against warrantless searches. DNA isn't like a social security number. It's an inherited substance, a code you share (to differing degrees) with all your biological relatives. So when people agree to let law enforcement access bits of their genome, they're getting bits of yours too. Even if you never take a DNA test yourself.
Researchers estimate it will be just a few years before every white person in America can be identified this way. And unlike the kinds of DNA technologies police have been using for decades to match crime scene samples to suspects, the genetic profiles generated for genealogy purposes hold a lot more information—including sensitive health information.

These issues of privacy, notably, did not surface during the course of the Talbott trial. His lawyers at times disparaged the DNA evidence, accusing the state of genetic tunnel vision once they had gotten their tip. "They are not focused on finding the killer, but rather, they're focused on finding the source of that DNA. They assume it has to be the same person," said defense attorney Rachel Forde during her closing argument Tuesday. "If DNA alone, even if that DNA is not associated with the actual murder, is enough to convict someone of murder in this day and age, we must be careful." But the legality of how detectives traced Talbott to that DNA in the first place was never in question. Before the trial even began, both parties reached an agreement to treat the genetic genealogy process as a tip, and not dwell on it beyond that.
Acting on that tip, investigators had surveilled Talbott, collecting a discarded paper cup to confirm that his DNA matched the long-sought after "Individual A" who had left semen on Van Cuylenborg's clothing and on her body. A swab taken from his cheek after his arrest also matched the crime scene sample. Prosecutors said that a palm print taken at that time from Talbott's left hand also matched a print lifted from the rear door of the van the Canadian couple was driving when they disappeared.
With the Talbott case settled, scholars and privacy advocates are now turning to other cases that are more directly challenging the constitutionality of the technique's use by law enforcement. In Virginia, for example, a 37-year-old man stands accused of raping a woman at gunpoint in 2016. The same company that worked on the Snohomish County case, Parabon Nanolabs, identified Jesse Bjerke as the alleged rapist through relatives found in GEDmatch. Bjerke's attorneys are now seeking to make that DNA evidence inadmissible.
Others aren't waiting for the courts to decide, and instead calling on lawmakers to impose limits on how genetic genealogy can be used. These could include confining the technique to violent crimes, as states like California have done for another controversial form of DNA matching called familial search. Currently there are no laws or regulations governing how police departments can use these non-criminal genetic databases, and no reporting requirements that could illuminate both the method's success rate and how widespread it's becoming.
Those questions, and others about the extent to which police should be able to turn American citizens into genetic informants, will need answers at some point. But at least for now, at least for the families of two kids who got in a van together one day 31 years ago and never came home, the only question that matters to them has finally been answered.

Am I Sexist If I Don't Like the New 'Ghostbusters'?
A Pajiba Confusion Primer: Am I Sexist If I Don't Like the New 'Ghostbusters'?
In the long months of mediocre trailers and fantastic interviews, leading up to the release of the new Ghostbusters, I've been hearing a surprising number of men asking if they'll be branded sexist if they don't like the movie. Some are genuinely concerned. Many are playing at obstinance. I've heard the question from men I like and respect, and many more that I don't. It's those in the former group that have me surprised, though, as I thought the answer to this was more obvious than it apparently is.
Because here's the short answer: Not necessarily.
Longer answer, no, of course you're not a sexist simply because you don't like a movie. If I didn't like the original Ghostbusters, it wouldn't make me a misandrist. (It would make me wrong, but not a misandrist.) I thought I would save this piece for tomorrow, after I've actually seen the movie, but the quality of the movie actually has nothing to do with this. Especially as more and more middling reviews come out, the movie might not be great. You might love it, you might hate it. You might fall somewhere in between. If you don't like the movie, that opinion does not need to be borne out of sexism.
However, there are some related feelings that definitely are.
Not liking the movie doesn't make you a sexist. But if you refuse to believe that there are people (a lot of people, if YouTube comments sections are to be believed) who won't like this movie because they are sexist, that's a problem.
If you refuse to even consider the idea that maybe the gender of the protagonists DOES play into your opinion of the movie, even a little bit, that, in itself, is a form of sexism.
If you refuse to believe that men and women, both audiences and critics, can and do view movies differently, based on their gender, you're wrong and you're part of the problem.
If you are so resentful of this idea that you have to like the movie to be a good person, to the point that you're determined NOT to like it, yeah, that's sexist.
If you hold every female-led or made movie up as an example of whether female-driven movies are "good" or "bad" (or weak or not funny or anything at all) in general, you're holding them to a different standard, and— you guessed it— that's sexism. You didn't like The Hangover 2? Did that opinion make you wonder why they keep making male-driven comedies? Of course not. Because "women" (just like "men") is not a genre or a trend.
If you're thinking about sexism (and this applies to racism, too) as a thing you have or a thing you don't, you're thinking about this wrong. Not liking a movie doesn't make you sexist and liking it doesn't make you NOT sexist. But beyond that, sexism isn't a black & white characteristic, and it's definitely not an off/on switch. So if you think your Ghostbusters opinion will make you sexist, calm down. But if you think you can't have sexist thoughts or tendencies because you're definitely not a misogynist (because you don't physically abuse women, or hate them, or leave YouTube comments on their movie trailers), then go back and start reading from the top. We all have biases, and they play into our opinions, unconsciously or consciously, all day, every day. It doesn't make you a bad person. If you willfully choose to ignore those shades of gray, though, that kind of does.

Proposed measure would push oil and gas development further away from Colorado homes
A proposed initiative that would require a 2,500 feet setback from all new oil and gas development in Colorado has cleared the first hurdle on its the path to the 2018 ballot.

DENVER — A proposed initiative that would require a 2,500 feet setback from all new oil and gas development in Colorado has cleared the first hurdle on its the path to the 2018 ballot.
On Friday, a judge approved Initiative 97, a change to the Colorado Revised Statutes concerning statewide minimum distance requirements for new oil and gas development.
Organizers will now have until August 6 to gather more than 98,000 valid signatures for the proposed measure to qualify for the ballot.
The measure would require all new oil and gas development to be located at least 2,500 feet from homes. Currently, 500 feet is the minimum distance from a home and 1,000 feet is the required setback form a school.
Supporters of the proposed measure say pushing oil and gas further away from homes will promote safety and preserve the environment.
"I want to feel safe in my home," said Suzanne Spiegel, an Initiative 97 organizer. "I want to be able to drink the water and breath the air without worrying it's been poisoned in some way by this industrial activity."
The oil and gas industry opposes the measure. They say the proposed restrictions would cripple the industry and devastate the state's economy.
"It would essentially eliminate all future oil and gas development," said Karen Crummy, with Protect Colorado. "Ninety percent of all the surface area for oil and gas down the road would be off limits."

The two Americans still jailed in Iran on charges of espionage and trespassing won't be tried for at least five more weeks, their lawyer told The Times on Thursday.
Shane Bauer and Joshua Fattal are due to appear before Judge Abolqasem Salavati on Nov. 6, the attorney said. The judge has handled many high-profile trials, especially since the political unrest that followed the 2009 presidential election, and has been dubbed the "hanging judge" by opposition and human rights activists. Most recently he sentenced Iranian Canadian blogger Hossein Derakhshan to 19 1/2 years in prison.
The two men and their friend Sarah Shourd were arrested in July 2009 while on a hiking trip along the Iran-Iraq border and detained in Tehran's Evin Prison.
Attorney Massoud Shafii has been working to get Fattal and Bauer released on bail in a settlement similar to that reached for Shourd, who was freed Sept. 14 on $500,000 bail.
But Iranian officials have indicated that they will tie the men's release to that of eight Iranians they say are wrongly imprisoned in the United States or are in the process of being extradited to the U.S. from third countries.
Since her release two weeks ago, Shourd has been cautiously campaigning for the release of her companions.
She met this week with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in New York, whom she described as "gracious" in a lengthy interview with the radio show Democracy Now in which she also described the events that led to her arrest.

Q: Sending audio through network This is a rather crazy idea.
I am planing to set up a configuration that would send audio being played on my laptop to my home server via local network so that the sound is played on the server connected to a hi-fi with good speakers.
It's supposed to serve the purpose of watching movies on the laptop with sound on the speakers without rearanging cables.
I suppose it can be done similarly to writing text to a file mounted via sftp, but with the /dev/audio or /dev/mixer
But I have no idea how to intercept the audio output.
Looking forward to tips from Pros ;)

A: Your best bet is probably VLC/VLS, but expect some nasty problems with synchronization drift as it is hard to keep video playing here in lockstep with audio data playing there.

A: What you're looking for is a sound server. These programs send sound over the network. Choices include JACK, NAS, Pulseaudio and more.
Pulseaudio is the default audio system on Ubuntu and is widely available on Unix. JACK is widely available on desktop operating systems and prides itself on its low latency. I'd try these two first. See Jack vs Pulseaudio -- how is it faster? for a short comparison.
To play music on a different computer, any of these programs would do as long as you manage to install the same program on both machines (they use incompatible protocols, though some have translation modules). But when playing movies, you may have trouble because forwarding sound over the network introduces perceptible latency. Some movie players allow you to fine-tune the alignment between audio and video, you may need to play with this setting.

A: As Gilles said, you're best of looking into updating your soundserver config.
You can use pulseaudio to listen to a TCP port.
Be sure to check padevchooser, which is a GUI frontend to update your config.
You can find a tutorial on the archlinux wiki.

A: MPD allow for streaming audio over http, just not setup by default. The limitation is that MPD streams from your MPD audio library, where as a sound server will allow you to stream any audio on the computer.

A: Direct access to the loopback Alsa Buffer in the operating system would be the most efficiant and reduce redundant translation layers so the latency be reduced as well. The only drawbacks in any case, over the internet, you have ssh or vpn overhead latency.
This person is using a binary that works really well (trx), and the alsa-loop
http://www.pogo.org.uk/~mark/trx/streaming-desktop-audio.html

A: After some fiddling with raspicast managed to send audio from an android client to a raspberry pi over ssh. The only dependency (for audio only) is omxplayer which can be installed with apt-get install omxplayer.
The android client is open-source and available on github. Looking at the code it appears that the android app wraps around dbus-send and omxplayer so I'd expect it should also be possible to stream from other OS's than android, although it's not very clear what specific commands need to be sent to dbus on the remote box. For a generic linux server the code would probably need to be modified to use something like mpv instead of omxplayer.

NOTE: The android app defaults to HDMI output for the audio. If you are connecting your speakers through the audio jack then you'll need to change it to ALSA (under Settings > Audio output or otherwise you won't get any sound.

There are also a few tutorials like this one which go into more details on getting raspicast to also play videos and show photos.

A: Use MPD on your laptop to stream the music to your computer at home.
I suggest, however, that you run MPD on the computer at home, and just connect to MPD with your Client from your laptop (I suggest GMPC).
It is how I listen to music all the time, I have just one computer with music on it, and clients on my laptop and other computers.
MPD can stream the music through network, so you can feed that to a server or directly play it with mplayer.

A: I myself used SoundWire (http://georgielabs.net) for this.
The client is only available for Android, but running it in a VM also works.

Art Opening Reception: Christopher Little ~ High and the Mighty
Christopher Little's show Norfolk: High and the Mighty features a collection of photographs made in the last year. Little writes: "High presents color images of familiar village scenes. The photographs are aerials and are rendered in the "miniature style"—think model railroad. The Mighty, in black and white, depicts your friends and neighbors photographed in the Hollywood glamour-style of the 1930s and 1940s. I credit my inspiration to George Hurrell (1904-1992), the former MGM studio photographer who went on to shoot iconic images as a freelancer." Little worked as a photojournalist for many years before turning to fiction. His debut novel, Ever So Silent: An Emma Thorne Mystery, is available on Amazon and at the Library. Please join us for the opening reception for the artist on Sunday, August 4, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., graciously hosted by the Library Associates.
