Q: How to do a two dimensional table (array) and fix errors My outputs are not getting out right, and I'm not too sure how to go about doing a two dimensional array.
I have my outputs follow by the outputs should look like.....
Good example how to set up 2 dimensional table would help, since not sure what I find on line is good plus haven't found a good enough book to explain to an old person terms.
First is my code:

Си́лос (, мн. число от  — подземное помещение, яма для хранения зерна) — сочный корм (силосованный корм) для сельскохозяйственных животных; словом «силос» называют также подземные хранилища для силоса.

Получение

Силос получают путём заквашивания (силосования — консервирование без доступа воздуха, является наиболее распространённым способом заготовки) измельчённой зелёной массы травянистых растений, пригодной для корма животных и птиц (используется: тритикале, подсолнечник, кукуруза, неядовитые сорняки, ботва овощных культур и так далее). Используются также различные отходы промышленного производства — мезга, барда, жом.

Применение
Силос используется в сельском хозяйстве. Он обладает высокими питательными свойствами, по своей калорийности, витаминности (содержит каротин, витамин С, органические кислоты) и диетическим свойствам сравним со свежей травой и является ценным продуктом питания. Силос улучшает пищеварение, способствует усвоению других грубых кормов. Силос подходит для всех видов травоядных животных и птиц. Такой корм, заложенный в специальные силосные хранилища — специальные траншеи, ямы, силосные башни, может сохраняться в течение нескольких лет. .

Can an ISP limit what security software (firewall) that will work?
My ISP (JCOM) says that McAfee is the only security software that will work with them. Is that true? The system is running Windows 7 Home Premium Japanese Version. The McAfee system is provided by them and under their support but no obvious customisation mark.
No but they can blame any problems you have on running an unsupported firewall and refuse to offer any support until your unsupported firewall is disabled.
No, that is an unreasonable claim. A firewall is in essence just another computer, which you happen to filter your traffic through.
Unless JCOM has some way of identifying what system you are using to connect to them, and explicitly torpedoing your connection based on that (did I mention "unreasonable"?), the service from your ISP should not be affected by your choice of firewall.

I learned of the term "Sibling Integration" from OCMom — as you can see we talk a lot and read each other's blogs a lot — but it does fit my biggest concern with this upcoming pregnancy. How will Sam adjust to life with a new baby?
I looked for books, and found one called Twice Blessed. Quite honestly though I felt it to be a little bit on the negative side and not as helpful as I'd hoped (ergo, not worth buying). There are some interesting facts and figures in the book, but nothing really breakthrough and inspiring.
Mommy Meadowmont: Someone also I've been talking to sporadically since she just gave birth a couple of months ago. Her kids are 18 months apart!
Tug-of-war or Sharing & Caring?
1. "Survival skills" for the younger one come faster. Mommy Virginia-Boston and Mommy Meadowmont say that the second baby has no choice but to be lugged around and dragged to all the activities of your firstborn. So there is less room for scheduled naps, and baby #2 will really have to learn how to cope and adjust. More often than not though, they do. "They just learn and generally they're okay with it", Mommy New York says.
The message: don't drive yourself crazy trying to keep two routines because — well, you'll just drive yourself crazy.
There will be a time I'm told when the older sibling becomes more independent (stays in school longer), then a little bit of a routine for the second one starts to form, activities and all (And then you turn into a chauffeur mom.).
2. Keep the older child's sense of space as intact as possible. The last thing you want is for your older child to feel she's been displaced. I still don't know how we're going to do it without one child waking the other up if all four of us sleep in the same room like we plan to. Well Mommy LA says they're happier keeping everyone together instead of having to endure ferberizing as it didn't work the first time. Mommy Virginia-Boston though says it was easier to teach the 2nd one to sleep in her own room, while the first one she still allows in her bed because that's what they were used to. I guess it's only over time when you find what works for you.
3. "Our baby", not just "Mom and Dad's baby". I feel this was the most insightful bit of them all (Thank you, Mommy Virginia-Boston). I've heard about getting the older child involved, but I feel that this philosophy takes it to another level. It's like giving your eldest an actual say in what will happen to the newborn (Well, Sam did pick out Jamie's name). Mommy Virginia-Boston was relating an anecdote about how protective her eldest is of her younger sister, and that when she tries to get one-on-one time as many books say to do, Her eldest complains about leaving the younger one behind. She'd rather it be the three of them, instead of just the two of them. I don't know if age and gender play a role in this as older boy siblings I'm told may not be as "mothering" as older girl siblings, but it's worth a try just the same.
4. Expect more chaos and less rest. I love Mommy Meadowmont's statement of "it's horrific the first three weeks, but then after everything kind of falls into place". Okay. So about three weeks of losing my mind — not bad. It's happened before. Thank goodness we got a Doula.
5. Try to go for independence early on. I was explaining my plan to Mommy Virginia-Boston of keeping baby #2 in a sling while I move around, but she was saying that it's better if the baby learns to be as independent of you as soon as possible.
6. One parent is to one child. Mommy New York says she tries to leave one child with their father as much as possible. It's easier on both children if they know that they each have a parent to turn to when they both need it. And besides, as a mom, you need some sort of a break too!
7. Re-define your definition of "me time". Whereas before "me time" could really actually mean "you time", I'm told with two kids, "me time" = ability to do chores in peace. Mommy LA said as well, "I kept complaining that I didn't have time with just one child. But now when I just have one with me while the other one is in school, I feel like I can accomplish so much!" So I suppose… it's all just a matter of perspective!
Thank you to my moms of two's who have somewhat helped prepare us for what's ahead — even if in truth, there really is no proper way to such a thing!


The two friends passed easily along the underground path. Faria pulled up a stone in the floor, and they climbed into his room.
They sat and talked. Faria's words were clever and wise.
Sometimes Dantes could not understand them.
Dantes learned new ideas from Faria very quickly and easily.
He learned about the history of the world, and the English language, and many other things.
Time passed. Dantes was much happier, but Faria's health was not good. One day, Faria was in Edmond's room. Edmond was working on the secret path between their rooms.
Suddenly, Edmond heard Faria cry out in pain. He hurried to him, and found him in the middle of the room. His face was as white as death.
'What is the matter?' cried Dantes.
Dantes looked at Faria's face and was afraid. Faria's eyes were dark, and there were deep blue circles round them. His skin was very pale.
Dantes acted quickly. He pulled the old man down into the underground path, and took him back to his room. Then he helped Faria on to the bed.
He stopped talking. The frightening greyness of death passed over his face. Dantes waited. Then he thought, 'My friend is nearly dead.' He took Faria's knife, broke open the bottle and poured a little of the liquid into Faria's mouth. Then he waited again. 'Will my friend die?' he cried.
One hour passed, and there was no change. Then at last a little colour came into Faria's face. The wide-open eyes showed some life. Faria could not speak, but he pointed to the door. Dantes listened, and heard the steps of the guard. 'He mustn't find me here!' he thought.
The young man ran to the opening of the underground path and hurried to his room. Just after he reached it, the guard came in with food. He saw his prisoner sitting, as usual, on the side of his bed.
After the guard left, Dantes hurried back to Faria's room. He lifted up the stone, and was soon next to the sick man's bed. Faria was a little better, but he was still very weak.
He sat down on the bed next to Faria and held the old man's cold hands.
'No,' said Faria. 'My first illness lasted for only half an hour.

Apple debuted the first version of AirPlay in 2010, and wireless audio technology has come a long way since then; recently, Sonos' approach to consumer audio has garnered a substantial following thanks to the company's modern wireless technologies that "just work." AirPlay 2 in many ways is Apple's answer to Sonos: it enables seamless multi-room audio on compatible speakers while making the AirPlay experience better overall with several important upgrades. And it comes at a crucial time, following shortly after the launch of the Apple's HomePod speaker.
Multi-room playback is extremely simple to operate in iOS 11.4. Inside the standard AirPlay picker UI – accessed from Control Center or an audio-based app – AirPlay 2-compatible speakers will now have an empty circle next to their name, which can be tapped to have your current device's audio play on that speaker as well. It's as easy as checking a box to add extra speakers to the mix. Current AirPlay 2 speakers include the Apple TV running tvOS 11.4 and the HomePod running version 11.4 of its software.
AirPlay 2 also gives Siri new audio-related capabilities. Because AirPlay 2 speakers integrate with the HomeKit framework, you can control playback on those speakers using Apple's digital assistant on your iPhone or iPad. This means you can say things like, "Play the Greatest Showman soundtrack on the Apple TV" or, "on the HomePod." You can also simply specify a room in which to play, or tell Siri to play something "everywhere" or "in the whole house."
A longform audio app combined with AirPlay 2 streaming gains enhanced buffering (up to several minutes, so you can walk around the house without audio dropping after a few seconds) and it doesn't get interrupted by system alerts such as message notifications or FaceTime calls.
All told, AirPlay 2 is a major upgrade to the original AirPlay protocol, and in my early use of it, it appears to have been worth the wait.
One of the greatest strengths of the Apple ecosystem has long been iMessage. The service is an extremely popular tool that's made better by living on all major Apple platforms – iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. I recently sold my previous iPad Pro to a co-worker, and one of the things she was most excited about was the ability to send iMessages from her new computer. iMessage is a valuable service, but until today, people using it on multiple devices had a common frustration: messages didn't stay in sync across devices. This was a bigger problem in some cases than others, but regardless, now with Messages in iCloud, those issues should be a thing of the past. The feature does exactly what it sounds like: it stores all messages in iCloud (including SMS) so that message history and read status can be synced effortlessly across all your devices.
The road to Messages in iCloud has been a long one. Like AirPlay 2, the feature was previously announced at last year's WWDC in June, but unlike the audio technology, Messages in iCloud was present in beta versions of iOS 11 for much of the summer. However, before the update's public release in September, the feature was pulled, with a future release date to be determined. Messages in iCloud resurfaced during the iOS 11.3 beta period but was again removed before public release. As such, despite its presence in the 11.4 betas, users remained skeptical about it reaching a public release. I'm happy to see it finally made the cut.
Resuming Playback in Podcasts. Imitating the recent Smart Resume feature in Marco Arment's Overcast, the way Apple Podcasts handles resumed playback has been tweaked in iOS 11.4. Now, when a podcast is resumed after being paused, rather than starting immediately where you left off, it will begin a few seconds before that to help refresh users on the context of what they last heard.
PRODUCT(RED) Wallpaper. Last month Apple released a special (PRODUCT)RED version of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, which came with an exclusive wallpaper option. In iOS 11.4, users who have any color 8 or 8 Plus now have access to that wallpaper for the first time.
Today Widget Tweaks. One minor change that may go otherwise unnoticed is that now when you open the Today view on your device – by swiping right either on your Home screen or Lock screen – rather than landing at the top of your widgets like before, iOS will instead take you to the last place you left off inside the Today view. Interestingly though, where you access the Today view from matters: a separate saved view is preserved for access that happens from both the Home screen and Lock screen, so if from the Home screen you last viewed the middle area of your widgets, that's where you'll be taken next time, but if you access the Today view from your Lock screen instead, you'll be taken to the last widget area you viewed from the Lock screen.
iOS 11.4 likely marks the official completion of the release first unveiled at WWDC last June; taken in its entirety over this past year, version 11 has been a behemoth update for iOS. Not everything made it into 11.0, but now that the full feature set has made it to the public, it's time to turn the page and get ready for exactly what Apple has in store for us next. We'll find out soon.

Dairy farm decisions: Get big or get out?
Colleen Kottke
Madison — With fluctuating milk prices, trying to remain viable in the dairy industry is almost akin to competing on the reality television show "Survivor."
Nowadays, low milk prices have almost become second nature to the dairy farmer. But in this current downswing, dairy producers across the country are facing severe cash deficits that are challenging their sustainability and business viability.
"You have survived at least five to seven price drops since 2000 otherwise you wouldn't be here in this room," University of Vermont agricultural economist Dr. Robert Parsons told listeners during a recent workshop "Surviving Low Milk Prices". "You've got skill sets that got you this far but you have to think about that next downturn ahead."
Unless farmers tailor the size of their operations or prepare for falling milk prices by adjusting farm practices, they may not be in business within the next five years, he said. Those in particular danger are small farms milking 100 cows or less. Gone are the days when a farmer could raise a family on a small herd of cows.
"Back in the early '70s, my father raised a family and put four kids through college with a 45-cow operation," Parsons said. "What we're seeing today is a scale adjustment of farmers in our state."
Parsons said owners of mid-sized farms are at a crossroads; contemplating whether or not to expand while many large-scale operations with more cash and operating with economies of scale and volume are wondering if they should grab the next opportunity to take over smaller farms that are getting out of the business.
"The big farms have a real future in dairy but they need to expand. And it isn't finding land that no one else is farming; their future depends on someone else going out of business and that's those milking 100 cows or less," Parsons said. "A 100-cow farm that hasn't grown in the last five years is going to go out of business because it can't keep up. In this business you need to grow in order to be relevant."
Is there a way to keep small farms viable?
"You either subsidize them or tell spouses to go out and get a third job with benefits," Parsons said. "Don't expect the government to step in and change anything. You've essentially been on your own since 1990. That's the political reality in Washington."
Parsons said the dairy industry has lost more than 200,000 farms in the last 20 years. Those expecting to be in business five years from now must up their game in order to remain viable. Farms need to prepare for the future by setting aside a cash reserve, working with feed consultants to save money and improve efficiencies, reduce age of first calving, seek employee input in exploring operational cost efficiencies and consider three-times-a-day milking if cost effective.
Children seeking to return to the farm should be responsible for increasing profitability in order to pay their wages.
"At 10 percent profit, you would need $400,000 in additional sales to pay for a $40,000 salary. Maybe mom and dad should tell them to think about that before they come home," Parsons said. "Challenge them; ask them how I'm going to pay you."
Parsons fully expects the landscape of the dairy industry to continue evolving.
"Forty years ago, if I had told anyone that cows would be averaging 30,000 pounds of milk per year they would have laughed me out of here," he said. "But today that's the reality and a 40,000-pound herd average is just around the corner folks."
In order to survive, Parsons said farmers must be forward thinking.
"This industry is running at a sprint and won't allow you to make too many mistakes. It's been a fun run but it's going to get more challenging, and that treadmill you're on is going to run faster," he said. "Make sure you've got your good sneakers on and pat yourself on the back for making it this far in this business."


Nest #22 Helliwell is in Helliwell Provincial Park.
Today i was walking along the bluffs of Helliwell.
You can see the bluffs in the second foto of luvthebirds*s post here.
Suddenly off in the distance going out over the water i saw a HUGE wingspan dipping down towards the water!
i hurried to catch a glimpse of them rising back up into the sky.
But there was no sign of them.
Then i saw a huge wingtip not thirty feet from me!
The eagle had landed on the edge of the bluff!
As i got closer, the Eagle took off from the bluff.
The Eagle was an immature or juvenile eagle, by their colouring!!
They landed in the top of a tree, way off in the distance.
i heard trilling coming from behind me.
Two adult eagles flew over my head & behind me, one right next to the other.
i assumed they were a pair til the one closer to the ground turned upside down & reached for the other with their talons & feet!
Seemed these two were actually in competition, somehow.
As we walked further along, i got a nice glimpse of the young eagle, perched in the top of a fir tree, looking around.
So, lots of action at Helliwell today.
i am surprised to see such a young eagle here, at this time of the year.
booni, maybe this is a question for ajl - was their flight activity an act of aggression or will an eagle pair 'play' that way in the air? I've read that they do but ajl's word would be more reliable.
gzebear, i too would like to know the answer to that question!!
i am assuming it was aggression, but maybe it is part of pair bonding or exercising or play?
Bonnie, what a wonderful sighting and experience for you! . Boy, if the eagle came that close to me, I probably would have fallen off the trail.
I wonder if one of the adults you saw was the one who posed for me in that area??
I once saw red tails doing something similar to what you described. Wondered at the time it was fighting or foreplay or play.
Booni, didn't you get a picture last year of Hope "taking" fish from Dad's talons? Or did I dream that?
I've watched the #2 nest eagles lock talons, drop together, then separate at the last moment before hitting the ground. This was always in February or early March, close to egg time. I've assumed that this was courtship.
When I see eagles show talons as part of territorial defense, they don't seem to lock and drop - mostly they don't even touch. Another difference is that they then fly away from each other.
A lot of birds use the same type of gestures for courtship and territorial defense. The context imbues the behaviour with different meanings.
luv, i think Doug saw a Hope-like eagle chase Dad down & steal his fish last year?
During the herring spawn, i saw a sub-adult chase Mum down & take her fish.
Here is a foto of a sub adult/immature eagle stealing Mum*s fish last season!
march 3 2010 16:45:50 - Mum is chased down by a young eagle wanting her fish!!
Today, instead of working in my garden and doing housework like I was supposed to do, I played hooky and went to Heliwell Park instead, to check on the eagles and photograph the wildflowers.
I spent a half hour watching Nest 22. Just as I was arriving, someone landed on a branch above the nest, almost hidden from where I was standing. This adult eagle stayed there for maybe ten minutes, then flew off. I could see nothing in the nest.
Then I went walking around Heliwell. A few times I heard calls, high and low, from the direction of the nest. So both eagles seem to be accounted for.
Oh, it was so subtle.
Sometimes all it takes to make my day is just a glimpse of white feathers.
Yes, there was someone on the nest all that time! Someone who is not moving much.
An eye is staring right at me!
So I'm pretty sure there are some eggs or even a hatchling or two in this nest.
Wren, wonderful sighting! It does look as if someone is sitting on eggs or chicks, doesn't it?!
i received a *Wildlife Concerns* call after we returned from checking out the Seal pup.
Someone walking their dog in Helliwell had seen a young Eagle standing on the path.
They had something weird with the left(?) wing, & also seemed to walk funny.
They were standing right there on the path, & only moved off to the side about two feet as the woman approached with her dog.
wren & i went out to look for them just before dark.
We saw no sign of them.
We also saw a couple who had just walked by & they had not seen him either.
Brave wren got up early this morning & hiked for an hour in that area, looking for the downed young Eagle.
She saw no sign of him.
She also ran into someone who walks there regularly, & will keep an eye out for him & report to us.
I hope that you and Wren will find and rescue this bird quickly.
Thanks boonib for the post and wren for going back to look. It is encouraging that there were not as many 'downed eaglet' reports this year as last year by this time.
I know that HEART will keep us posted.
There were two more possible sighting of this *downed* Eaglet, all by the same person!
The next two times, the youngster was seen walking next to a pond, looking a bit wet.
Next thing, he was flying away!
He was seen again, later today, in a cedar perch tree near the pond again.
Perhaps he is the youngster from nearby Nest #21?
Another report, from Heliwell Park, within 300 metres of the first sighting... Eaglet down on the ground, has let someone approach to within six feet before flapping, and even then not taking off. No sign of injury, but we're talking about a close approach twice.
I'm thinking that the eaglet by the pond might be a different one. From nest 21?
I'm in contact with MARS and we're making an action plan right now.


Earlier this month, the Australian Gas Industry Trust (AGIT) hosted its annual Gas Speak Colloquium, a presentation and skills workshop for young professionals in the gas industry.
Held at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra, ACT over three days, the event saw 27 attendees from all corners of the gas industry participate in mentoring programs to assist them in gaining valuable experience and insights into the art of public speaking.
The event also gave these young professionals the opportunity to network with like-minded gas industry professionals and learn more about the sector from a variety of perspectives.
On the first day, the attendees participated in a workshop conducted by Talkforce Media and Communications Strategist representative Kristen Connell, who imparted her wisdom on the group with a talk entitled 'The Art of Presenting'.
Participants prepared a 17-minute presentation prior to attending the event which was then delivered to their peers and mentors.
Each presentation was assessed by the colloquium mentors with CNC Project Management's Tessa Williams judged the best of the group with her speech titled 'The importance of increasing public trust in the gas industry in Australia'.
The attendees also prepared a poster centred around the topic of 'Key issues affecting the oil and gas industry', which were put up and assessed in Parliament House while the participants were given the chance to discuss their work and the industry politicians and company directors from energy heavyweights such as Origin, Santos and AGL.
The poster competition was won by Rinnai Australia Project Engineer Skandar Gabremichael with his poster about the gas appliance sector.
Gas Speak events have been held annually since 1982.

Fire crews are battling an early morning blaze near Fowler.
FOWLER, Calif. (KFSN) -- Fire crews are sifting through the ashes to figure out what started an early morning house fire near Fowler.
The fire was called out just after five Thursday morning at a home on Clayton between Peach and Minnewawa. Fire officials believe it started in the back of the property and the wind pushed it into the house.
When firefighters arrived they found a very dangerous situation with power lines down, the second story of the home engulfed in flames, and the back portion of the property also on fire.
Dennis Smith with the Cal Fire/Fresno County Fire Protection District said, "We went defensive on this fire for firefighter's safety. The HVAC unit was already at an angle indicating it was already going to drop into the structure, so we decided not to put anyone in the interior."
PG&E also came out and disconnected the power line to make sure it was safe for crews.
Firefighters do not believe anyone was living in the home because there were no belongings inside.
Flames and smoke from the fire could be seen from nearby Highway 99.

Big Picture High School-Fresno is a new public charter school located in Old Historic Fresno. BPHS-Fresno is a School of Choice offering a college/career prep program for all students. Students are able to pursue their passions through project based instruction and community internships.
Our goal is to use internship and rigorous, interest-based projects to immerse students in work they are passionate about in order to develop the skills, habits and knowledge to succeed in higher education, overcome obstacles to their well-being, and contribute positively to their communities. This mission is implemented one student at a time within a supportive network of stuff, students, parents and community partners.
Big Picture High School is a project and interest based school where students can pursue their passion while also meeting the state academic standards and the UC (a-G) requirements. The school philosophy is to serve student " One Student at a Time". We have internship in the community, where students work with a community mentor in an area of their interest and then complete a project around the work they are doing at the internship. Students have personal learning plans that are developed with the student, parent, advisor/teacher, and mentor. These plans are reviewed quarterly after the student's exhibition of learning. After this, the student revise their personal learning plans. Parents are families are actively involved in the learning process, helping to shape the student's learning plan and are enrolled as resources to the school community. The result is a student-centered learning design, where students are actively invested in their learning and are challenge to pursue their interests by a supportive community of educators, professionals, and family members.
Each student at a Big Picture High School is part of a small learning community of 20 or less students called an advisory. The advisor, a teacher who works with this small group of students for the duration of their high school experience, assists the student with their instructional programs and builds a relationship with each student and the students family. Each students works closely with his or her advisor to identify interests and personalize learning. The advisory become a "home away from home" for the student.
Our Internship Program or LTI (Learning Through Internship/Interests), is a key component to our students's education. Projects are build around and for their LTIs. Each student, 9-12, is expected to actively pursue and participate in an LTI while enrolled at Big Picture High School. We have a school day during the week dedicated to our LTI program. This is where students go out into the community and work at their LTI sites. This helps our students gain real world knowledge and experience. We have a team of educators that are here to help each student succeed in their respective LTIs. Out asvisors and LTI coordinators work closely with students and their families to find the right fit for each individual.
At Big Picture High School out hands-on, project-based, deeper learning instructional model intentionally utilizes real-word scenarios to enhance student' Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Creativity, Communication and Problem Solving skills needed for life and in our current and future work environment. We also use our project-based approach to connect with businesses and service organization whenever possible.
Culture can be hard to measure in schools, but is an area of great importance if lifelong learning is to take place. At Big Picture High School, our is a culture of performance, respect and trust that permeates at all levels of the school. From the students, to teachers, to administrative assistant, to the campus security and the administrators, we all are responsible fro performing at our best on a daily basis. We expect everyone to treat others with the utmost respect. We also expect our facilities to be treated with respect. we give each other the space and right to fail. We trust in each other learning from our failures, be resilient and keep growing.

Opinions on Fox News
Fox News is known for being a heavily Republican reporting channel. Their conservative views on the news and current events affects the viewership and the types of people that are attracted to the popular show. The Fox news anchor of one's choosing will be the one who has opinions that mirror those of the viewer themselves. This goes for the anchors on Fox news or the anchors of any other channel on the television. It is easy to assume that most of the Fox news anchors are conservatives and that they do believe in the opinions they represent as anchors on Fox news, but there are also others that report and keep their views as independent from their work and what they are paid to represent. For these reasons, we must think twice before we pass judgement on the anchors on Fox news. The anchors on Fox news have a responsibility to their employer and part of that includes representing the views that they designate as the ones that they wish to convey to their viewers. If all of the anchors on Fox news went about saying things any way in which they want then we would be living in a society that has no organizational matter, even within the news. This is not always the best way to do things, especially for popular papers like the Fox news that has anchors that work for them that are paid to stay united as the anchors on fox news that give reliable news and information to their entrusted viewers. Part of the reasont hat people pick Fox news over other types of news reportings is because they like the anchors on Fox News that serve up the news in a manner that they believe in and that they trust as well.

In case you missed anything from Glenn Clark Radio this week, here are a few highlights to check out, including interviews with Len Elmore, Ryan Mountcastle, Leo Mazzone and more.
Glenn Clark offers his top five tips for surviving the Orioles' home opener, including drinking plenty of fluids and avoiding actual baseball talk.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun first started talking over social media, and the athletes' mutual admiration led the two to finally meet in person.
In case you missed anything from Glenn Clark Radio this week, here are a few highlights to check out, including interviews with Za'Darius Smith, Justin Bethel, Ryan Odom and more.
Glenn Clark says the MLB Players Association's reported proposal to penalize "tanking" through the draft makes sense but stings for Orioles fans, who are prepared to embrace a rebuild similar to the Astros, Cubs and Phillies.
Clarence "Fancy Clancy" Haskett is a near-ubiquitous presence as a beer vendor at Orioles games. But Glenn Clark says Haskett is so much more than a beer vendor; he's a universally beloved Baltimore icon.
Now that he's had time to digest Maryland's 69-67 loss to LSU in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, Glenn Clark says Mark Turgeon deserves credit for switching to a zone defense, but that's not enough to change the narrative.
In case you missed anything from Glenn Clark Radio this week, here are a few highlights to check out, including interviews with Clark Kellogg, Jimmy Patsos and more.
Glenn Clark confirms that Terps head coach Mark Turgeon is not on the hot seat as Maryland enters the NCAA Tournament, and he says the coming week also brings a very real opportunity for Turgeon to change the narrative that surrounds him.
In honor of St. Patrick's Day, Glenn Clark runs down 15 "Baltimore sports saints" who have impacted the community by giving their time, spending their money or using their platform to inspire others.

For the past several years Grove's work has been landscape based. While there are never any figures in the work there is always the mark that humanity has left: industrial wastelands giving way to high rises, farmland and forests folding to create overgrown housing developments, automobiles distorting the scenery they were manufactured to speed through, boat hulls recording the stormy seascapes they were built to navigate. Signs of a "civilized" culture. The work distorts the landscape to show the damage we are doing to it. These are toxic environments we are creating by industry, human convenience, progress. Visually, Grove is deeply inspired by painters like Gerhard Richter and Anselm Kiefer and strives to create photographic work that is painterly.
Grove is the creator of the group "Thou Art Mom"; which stemmed from her series of the same name and brings mother artists together for support and networking. She has curated two shows with the same title as well as others on different themes. She is also the creator and curator of 24/7/art an online gallery on Facebook. A graduate of the School of Visual Arts in NYC with a BFA in Photography, her work has been exhibited throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. She has been published in numerous books, magazines, and newspapers and has pieces in public and private collections both in the United States and Europe.
Works may be purchased by contacting the artist directly. Selected pieces are also available at Saatchi, and Society6.

A recent NPR Interview with my colleague the game designer and theorist Ian Bogost endearingly focused on his frustration at having accidentally made an enjoyable game.
The Facebook game Cow Clicker was meant to parody Zynga's Farmville and expose its inanity and cynical commercialism. Instead it became a hit.
Cow Clicker was meant to parody the wildly successful Facebook game Farmville, exposing its unchallenging and pointless gameplay and its cynical commercialism. But to Bogost's dismay his intentionally boring game unexpectedly attracted 50,000 users. Stunned out of his customary ironic detachment, Bogost found himself unable to resist the direct "pleasure" of having people play his game. He began to pay attention to what they liked and to fulfill their requests, though he was bothered by their unironic pleasure in the gameplay. In order to reinforce his satiric intent, Bogost tried to subvert the game by charging ridiculous amounts of money for obviously worthless virtual items. To his dismay, people paid and continued to enjoy the game. Eventually he resorted to outright destruction, starting a counter that ended with a satisfyingly absurd "rapture" that left no cows standing, just a little clickable shadow in the pasture: a "cowpocalypse"!
Yet even the "cowpocalypse" was not enough to erase the enthusiasm of the fans and Bogost , who is an extraordinary productive designer and scholar, now finds himself best known for his most despised creation. Worst of all, according to his pal the astute game critic Leigh Alexander, the runaway success of Cow Clicker makes a sad contrast to the modest sales of the serious art game Bogost created around the same time, called A Slow Year in which the gameplay involves virtually drinking a cup of coffee as slowly as possible to make it last through a meditatively slow seasonal change captured in the retro minimalism of the Atari game console.
In fact, looking at the mechanics of the gameplay, the design of Cow Clicker and A Slow Year are almost identical — each is based on the player taking one click-enabled game action at very long intervals with very little visible effect. Yet one game is played obsessively by thousands of people and the other is appreciated and collected by connoisseurs but probably little played even by the relatively few who have bought it. Setting aside the author's intentions (as literary critics are taught to do) , we can see that both games are successful, but they succeed in different terms.
A Slow Year is a Writerly game (it even comes with a book of poetry) in the sense that Roland Barthes used the term for literary works that require the reader to work to understand what is going on. Writerly texts do not respect the reader's need for clarity. In fact, they privilege confusion, complexity, and the active effort of decoding. The writerly aesthetic does not lend itself to the simple agency of click and moo. Bogost's art games often work as refusals of agency — but they are still successful as art because the refusal is meaningful and meant to communicate the need to slow down and to become aware of the mechanics of game interaction.
Cow Clicker is meant to be equally opaque, but it carries the form of the very Readerly text it intends to parody. Even more than in Farmville, the interactor knows what to do, and gets clear feedback for doing it: you click a cow every six hours, hear it moo, and get a tally of your clicks. Cow Clicker also includes the very readable social aspects of the Zynga games it is parodying, allowing you to pasture and view other people's cows, affording the pleasure of an ambient social atmosphere. Most importantly, it has very readable, pleasing, and witty graphics which make the pointless clicking and mooing into a friendly, shared joke. Perhaps that is the key design flaw — Bogost's strong graphic design skills and comic timing defeated his philosophical purpose, unintentionally creating an experience of dramatic agency around the ironic anti-commodification message.

On May 5, 2018, Donald Glover took the Internet by storm with the release of his new single and accompanying music video, "This Is America." Since its premiere, it has accumulated over 35 million views (at press time) on Youtube.
Though Glover, popularly known as Childish Gambino, is a famous rapper in his own right, the reason the video is garnering mass attention is because of its multiple references to the current social and political climate in America.
Here are some of the video's most talked about references, in order of appearance.
The setting of the video is a drab and desolate warehouse with multiple white support beams. Some viewers interpreted this as a representation that America is built on systematic racism and white supremacy.
"Much of this seems to take place in a building/warehouse where the foundation and support systems (the beams) are mostly white," tweeted @JarridGreen.
Within the first few seconds of the four-minute long video, Glover expresses his take on the racial divide in America. Racial tensions have been growing due to recent events involving white supremacists, such as the Charlottesville, Virginia KKK rally in July 2017.
Also, Glover appears shirtless, wearing gray pants. A Twitter user was quick to point out the similarity between the singer's wardrobe and Confederate army uniforms.
"Can we talk about how @donaldglover is wearing confederate army pants?" tweeted @the_tumblebug.
Jim Crow was a character that stereotypically represented black culture in minstrel songs. In the 19th century, it was used as an offensive term for African-Americans, and later became associated with the oppressive laws that enforced racial segregation in America.
After shooting the man, Glover gently places the gun into the hands of a well-dressed man, while the corpse is abruptly dragged off-screen, signifying the notion that guns are treated with more respect than human lives.
Another scene, and perhaps one of the most disturbing, is when an all-black church choir gets shot with an assault-style rifle. The massacre appeared to be a reference to the 2015 Charleston shooting, where white supremacist Dylann Roof murdered nine black churchgoers.
An additional moment that caused mass amounts of shock and discussion online is the white horse, which appears around the 2:35 mark. The horse is ridden by a white, faceless man and is followed by a police car, with lights flashing and sirens blaring.
The scene happens so quick that the chances of missing it the first time are high. But the image seems to allude to one of the books of the Bible, Revelations 6:8.
"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him," states the verse.
Revelations is popularized as being the biblical book of destruction, as it discusses how humanity is failing and describes how the world will end. This reference is a window into how some minorities view white Americans and the judicial system as "Death" and "Hell," respectively.
At 3:15, Glover is standing on the roof of a car, surrounded by beat-up unoccupied vehicles, all with the driver's doors opened. Viewers drew connections to the high amount of black men and women killed by police during traffic stops.
"Do a lot of those cars … have their driver's side doors open, and hazards on cause they're symbolic of the cars of all the people pulled over and killed by the police?" wondered Twitter user @giddy_pony.
As the video progresses, Glover continues to sing and dance, acting as a distractor to the chaos ensuing around him. He strides around the warehouse, hits famous dance moves, and sings with a smile, a juxtaposition to the fires, explosions, screaming, and more occurring in the background.
This contrast represents how our society is so focused on the media and trends that we often do not pay attention to the real, damaging issues happening in our country. Also, it depicts how some Americans often ignore the racial tension in our country because they feel as if it does not pertain to them.
The video closes with Glover running for his life, lunging towards the camera with strides that scream fear and desperation.
Glover has received mass amounts of praise for his new music video, with many applauding the subtle artistry he encompasses in the short clip.
However, the takeaway is something to be considered.
Is this sensational music video meant to be a call to action? Is it acting a plea for the people of America to stand up and stop tolerating hate crimes, gun violence, racial slurs, and discrimination?
Or is it a dire warning of what society could turn into if we continue down this path of destruction?
Or is it both? Today's society is so caught up in the fast-paced news cycle that we often forget to notice the common themes in the tragedies that litter our screens.
Whether it be race, gun violence, or political disputes, it is vital we recognize that we are potentially failing as a country. If we don't wake up, the mayhem and carnage Glover depicts could become our new reality.

Mix three cans of soup, rice, and water in dutch oven.
Arrange chicken pieces on top of rice.
Bake for 75 minutes at about 350 degrees.
Check every 20 minutes - add more water if it seems to need it.
Let me know how you enjoyed your Creamy Chicken Rice!
Great recipe. I do a couple of minor changes.
1. I brown the chicken in the Dutch oven first so the skin is crispy.
2. I substitute chicken broth for some of the water.
Neal Hand, if you do it this way, you can leave the lid on.
@Neal - The lid should always be on the dutch oven unless a recipe says otherwise.
I like Troy's idea to brown the chicken first.

Number of millionaires goes down again
by Len Lazarick | Jan 19, 2011 | News, Taxes | 1 |
By Len Lazarick
The number of Marylanders filing million-dollar tax returns went down again in 2009, according to figures from the comptroller's office.
In calendar year 2009, there were 4,134 returns showing net taxable income of $1 million or more, 798 or 16% fewer than there were in 2008, according to David Roose, director of the Bureau of Revenue Estimates. Roose produced the numbers at the request of MarylandReporter.com.
The legislature passed a surcharge on millionaires in 2008 to replace a sales tax on computer services. The "millionaires' tax" expired Dec. 31, but liberal groups are proposing that the tax be extended this year. The surcharge was .75% on earnings over $1 million, on top of the top tax rate of 5.5%.
There was a "a slight uptick" in the percentage of taxpayers who filed a million-dollar return in 2008 but did not file a return in 2009 at all, Roose said. This could indicate that high-income people had left Maryland, as opponents of the millionaire's tax say.
But Roose was unwilling to interpret the numbers that way.
"The reason we had a lot fewer millionaires in 2008 and 2009 is people made a lot less money," Roose said.
Numbers of millionaires – Marylanders with seven-figure taxable incomes – rose steadily for five years from 2003 to a record of 7,192 filers in 2007. The next year the numbers fell by 30% to 4,932.
Almost half of the 2007 millionaires (3,404) filed returns with incomes under $1 million in 2008, and another 448 (6.2%) either filed a part-year return, or filed no return at all. About 40% of the 2008 millionaires had incomes less than that the following year, and 364 (7.4%) filed no return or for a partial year.
Ron Wineholt of the Maryland Chamber of Commerce had no doubt what the new figures meant.
"The CPAs I've talked to continue to tell of clients who have declared their tax domicile in other states because of this millionaire tax."
"People at that level [of income] have choices," Wineholt said, and tend to "own houses in more than one state."
"I think that's a big part of these numbers," he said.
But Rion Dennis, executive director of Progressive Maryland, said Congress had already given Maryland millionaires a $77 million tax cut in the extensions of the Bush-era tax rates passed in December.
The reduction in millionaires reflect "two very bad economic years," and "can be accounted for by the bad recession," Dennis said.
Dennis cited a Phoenix Marketing International study released in September that found Maryland had the second highest percentage of millionaires in the nation, after Hawaii.
Phoenix estimated that 6.26% of Maryland's households – 133,000 – had assets of $1 million or more.
"Phoenix defines a millionaire household as one with $1 million or more in investable or liquid assets (excluding sponsored retirement plans and real estate)," the company says.
This means that Phoenix measures "millionaires" based on accumulated wealth, rather than the taxable incomes figures from Roose. People who make $1 million a year are likely to be wealthy, but many other households with incomes in the low six-figures could accumulate $1 million in liquid assets, including IRAs under their control.

Updated: House changes rules for judges' salaries
Bill	on January 19, 2011 at 2:28 pm
As you note, there are two explanations put forward for the drop in Millionaire tax filings: 1.) That the Millionaire's tax has driven our precious millionaires to other states, or 2.) That it's the economy stupid. All the objective evidence points to the later. All of the self-serving anecdotal evidence points to the former. Looking at the figures you provide, "millionaires" were at a high in 2000 (the top of the internet / stock market bubble). They dropped sharply in 2001 and 2002, corresponding with the recession and stock market collapse of those years. Subsequently, the number again rose, through the peak of the housing bubble in 2007. And fell the following two years as we endured the great recession. Hmmm …
But this might be easily cross checked. Were changes in tax domicile the primary cause of the most recent drop, one would expect to see a simultaneous spike in Virginia's (or PA's) million $ tax filings. Since none of the whimpering crowd has ever produced such a statistic, which would be highly persuasive of their case, I presume that such analysis does not support the desired thesis.
