Bette's Oceanview Diner is a Berkeley institution, family-owned and -run since 1982. Most famous for their pancakes — be they buttermilk, cottage cheese, pumpkin or gingerbread — they're a California-style diner with emphasis on fresh, local ingredients and homemade fare. From their lemon currant scones to their blueberry, bran and donut muffins (rolled in butter then cinnamon sugar), all their baked goods are made on the premises by their fabulous bakers. The coffee steaming in that bottomless cup is roasted in nearby Emeryville and their bagels are from down the street. They like their eggs cooked soft and custardy.
But at Bette's, it's not all about the meatloaf. It's about the overall experience. And in order for that experience to mean something, "somebody has to be home and you have to have a good time," says Bette.
The music. Bette's Oceanview Diner bought their 1957 Seaburg jukebox before the stove. The records rotate on a weekly basis, curated by their loyal DJ.
The comfort and style. Burgundy red naugahyde booths, gray linen formica countertop, stainless steel trimming, a gigantic piece of cherry pie in the sky – a real gem of a restaurant.
Above all, the people. They stick around, both customers and staff, many of whom have been around for more than a decade, sometimes two. "Diner people" reflect the whole gamut of life in Berkeley.

Why Ashley Judd Should Run
reelchanger / March 18, 2013
Will she or won't she?
That's the question on the minds of politicos in Kentucky and all across the nation. Will Ashley Judd challenge Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for reelection in 2014? So far, the scales have tipped both ways. Earlier this year, it seemed a certainty that Judd would run. Rumors were floated, and Judd didn't deny it. She came to Washington to meet with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and even gave a campaign-style speech at George Washington University on female health issues. Of course, her best bit of promotion came through the McConnell campaign itself, which preemptively ran scathing ads against her. The ads were effective in painting her in a negative light – but they also raised her profile as a politician, and showed that she was considered a serious contender.
But recently, things have cooled down. Guy Cecil, director of the DSCC, said two weeks ago there was "a handful of quality candidates" for the Democratic nomination in Kentucky. He did cite Judd as one of them, but he also mentioned current KY Secretary of State Alison Grimes in the same breath. If it looks like the DSCC is not yet sure about Judd, it's easy to understand why. According to DSCC polls, Grimes has a better chance of beating McConnell than Judd – and that's before the McConnell team has has really gone after Judd. The only problem with Grimes is that she is not committed to running and may be considering a run for governor instead.
The DSCC needs to figure this out because it's a golden pickup opportunity. McConnell is currently the least-popular senator up for reelection in the country, and taking down the Senate Minority Leader would be a major feather in the DSCC's cap. But I can see why they are having difficulty choosing, as Judd brings both tangible positives and deeply concerning negatives that could be potentially fatal to her race. I've been trying to figure out where I stand on this, and I really see it both ways. So let me make both arguments, and you can tell me what Judd should do. Today, we will tackle why Judd should run – and why she would win if she does.
Name recognition. It goes a long way in politics, and from what I'm told, the Judd name is as good as gold in Kentucky – not necessarily from Ashley, but from her mother and sister, both of whom are country music legends. The Judds are kind of like royalty in Kentucky. McConnell has already aired an ad featuring video of Judd saying that she "considers Tennessee [her] home," but I imagine the Judd family name will be able to overcome that.
The convergence of politics and entertainment will work in her favor. Several prior celebrities ran for office and won in eras in which strong leadership was needed to fill the void of government dysfunction – the cult of celebrity seemed a shortcut to leadership in the eyes of the voters. Ronald Reagan won in the shadow of Jimmy Carter's "malaise" speech, an energy crisis, and a damaging hostage situation in Iran. Arnold Schwarzenegger responded to an electricity crisis and paralysis in the dysfunctional California state legislature with quips from his movies and a promise to pound the "girly men" into submission. Judd's celebrity could translate into support from voters who are desperate for leadership in a historically dysfunctional Senate – and blame her opponent McConnell for much of that dysfunction.
We are really into electing women right now. The 2012 election was a watershed moment for women's issues. Obama won reelection with an historic gender gap thanks to two factors: his record on women's issues and the shockingly insensitive remarks made by Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin that women can't get pregnant from "legitimate rape." Obama was able to hang Akin's comments around the neck of the entire GOP, and both he and down-ticket female candidates benefited. The U.S. Senate currently has 20 female Senators, more than at any time in history, and several states sent women to the Senate for the first time ever. Of course, the films of 2012 predicted this tectonic shift, with many female actresses playing the role of action star traditionally reserved for men (Snow White and the Huntsman, The Hunger Games, Brave, Prometheus). In this era, it seems only natural that a female action star like Judd could make the jump to politics.
Money. McConnell won't have any problems raising money, but Judd could break records. The DSCC should be able to raise enormous amounts of money to help a well-liked celebrity like Judd take on the hated Minority Leader, but Judd's biggest haul should come from her friends in Hollywood. Democrats in Hollywood have now established themselves as a significant source of fundraising for the Democratic party, and they should be eager to flex their muscles to help one of their own get to the Senate. George Clooney raised $15 million at a single event for President Obama; Hollywood should be able to top that over the course of a Judd for Kentucky campaign.
So there it is. The time is right for a Judd campaign. But will it happen? Judd has said that she won't announce anything until May, and right now the tea leaves are too hard to read. Check back soon for an opposing piece outlining the many challenges a Judd candidacy would face – or why maybe she shouldn't run at all.
What do you think so far?

Quirk-Silva Campaign Spends Half a Million Dollars in Primary Election Tie
By kelsey | Press Release, Statement | No Comments
Opponent Coronado Spends $25,000 in Primary and Coasts into General Against the Champion of the Gas Tax
(Cypress, CA) – Incumbent Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva had a disappointing showing at last night's Primary election after spending half million dollars in an attempt to secure her position in California's 65th Assembly District. In contrast, republican challenger Dr. Alexandria Coronado, spent $25,000 and received 49% of the vote.
"Last night was a referendum on the champions of the Gas Tax, Senator Josh Newman and Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva," said 65th Assembly Candidate Dr. Alexandria Coronado. "My opponent spent a small fortune covering up her failed record that put politics over the people. This goes to show you that all the money in the world does not make up for selling out your constituents."
"Over the last few months, we watched hundreds of thousands of dollars in special interest money pour into Sharon Quirk-Silva's campaign coffers; and with the exception of removing money given to her campaign by alleged sexual predators, she spent half a million dollars just to remain competitive," said Campaign Spokesman Alex Avetoom. "While we suspect Sharon Quirk-Silva will continue to run a dirty, negative campaign, Dr. Coronado is chomping at the bit to get out there and win for the people of her district. Last night, Josh Newman lost his seat because of the gas tax, and come November, Sharon Quirk-Silva will lose hers."

Coronado Supports Assemblyman Harper's Effort to Protect Survivors of Domestic Violence
By ventureadmin | Press Release, Statement | No Comments
Dr. Alexandria Coronado is joining forces with California State Assemblyman Matthew Harper to advocate on behalf of survivors of domestic violence
(Sacramento, CA) This morning, 65th Assembly Candidate Dr. Alexandria Coronado announced her support for Assemblyman Matthew Harper's effort to protect survivors of domestic abuse. The bill, AB 2462, would require judges to take into consideration whether a victim was allegedly strangled or suffocated prior determining bail amounts.
"Domestic violence is one of the most serious issues facing women today. While some existing laws protect the right of survivors, there are dangerous loop holes in the system that must be addressed," said Dr. Coronado. "Similar to other methods of analyzing the severity of dangerous crimes, like a gun in a robbery, judges need to take into consideration strangling or choking, in relation to domestic violence. Survivors of domestic violence are often too scared to defend themselves. Today, I'm standing up to support innocent women and children who are traumatized and victimized by these criminals, every day."
The bill will be considered in a hearing at 9am on April 10th by the Assembly Public Safety Committee. Dr. Coronado will be attending the hearing to show her support.

Montgomery Streets
About Montgomery Streets
After their critically acclaimed band "The Vinyl Addicts" disbanded, Brian Murray and Anthony DeFeo began writing some new songs in an apartment on Montgomery St in Brooklyn's Crown Heights.

Over time, the new band "Montgomery Streets" became known for their energetic and ever changing live shows. In 2013 they released their first EP "Damn Girl". Produced by Chris Cubeta at GaluminumFoil Studios in Williamsburg, the album marks a huge step forward for the band. Featuring Spencer Cohen on drums and Chris Cubeta on guitar/keys, songs like "Change" boast a fuller sound and driving beat while fan favorite "The One Who Got Away" sticks to the group's acoustic roots.

I love Evernote and have been using for years. There are a few glitches (the clipper doesn't always work well) but it is so convenient and has replaced what used to be multiple sticky notes on my monitor and desk.
Saving ideas, tutorials and research I want to read later or share with others.
I can clip ideas for clients and share a notebook with them and save and tag research links I know I will want to look at in the future.
I purchased Evernote as a tool and have not done a formal ROI.
Again, with a free version, definitely try it! I used the free version for about a year before really finding a groove of how to best use daily, get email out of my box for things I wanted to deal with later, check in with tags for now, soon, later, in progress, etc. and needing the premium version.

Remember one of the requirements to build an inground pool you have to choose the right spot, preferably around the pool should be protected from the wind. Even better if the pool is close to the bedrooms or the kitchen, so parents could supervise their children. If it is close to the living room, Doughboy inground pools will also be a great decorative element.
Doughboy inground pools can be coated with various color selection for the pool bottom. However Doughboy inground pools recommended not to select colors that are too dark and dense, like black. It will be difficult to see if any sharp object or broken glass that fell into the pool. Maybe there is a dangerous aquatic animals at the bottom of the pool that can't be seen if the bottom of the pool is black in color. Futhermore it will be easier for cleaning process if the pool is coated with bright color. Doughboy inground pools have alway been a great assistant to it clients for decades because Doughboy really do care for its clients safety and well being.
A brightly colored pool will also create an energetic feeling to the home and the family.
A swimming pool will alway need its water to be in circulation and must always run smoothly and well. However some swimming pool owner find its difficult to have a good circulated pool water. This is because they have been cheated by their provider with machine or even designed that are not up to any standard. For a poor circulation water it will be a den for mosquito larvae and other germs. Doughboy inground pools will not allowed such thing to happen to its client.
Swimming pools can be dangerous for small children. As a safety, Doughboy recommend proximity to the house is the best solution so parents could watch every move children made. Now are even alarms which is practical and fairly accurate to send a signal when there is a wavy water. The safety of the user in Doughboy inground pools will alway be in Doughboy researchers and managements mind.
Doughboy inground pools will always be the leader in the pools industry so why choose the imitator?

8 11.9.13 news Analysing impact of very cool event Eagle eye: Winter Games chief executive Arthur Klap keeps a close eye oon proceedings at the games' opening ceremony on August 15. Photo: GETTY IMAGES High fliers: Alex Ferreira of the US, left, Jesper Tjader of Sweden, and Jiayu Liu of China compete in the Winter Games. By GRANT BRYANT The Winter Games economic impact report is months away, but organisers are confident the value reaped by Queenstown and Wanaka will eclipse the $50 million mark set in previous years. Winter Games charitable trust chief executive Arthur Klap told the Mirror preliminary surveys of games entrants, as well as businesses in the resorts, the Queenstown Lakes District Council and Destination Queenstown and Lake Wanaka Tourism were already in progress. Once all the surveys were completed they would be forwarded to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, who would analyse the data, with the end result of the games' economic impact report being in early November. ''We realise it's a long process, but all the surveys, analysis and international media reports that need processing reflect the huge scale of the event,'' Mr Klap said. ''We also need to ensure we get really good data, and this will help us to do the games even better next time. Already we feel the games' final analysis will be hugely successful, and eclipse the standards set in previous years, but all that analysis will help us keep building on this year's success.'' While much of that data would be easy to process in terms of economic impact, the value of international exposure through media coverage was harder to quantify, Mr Klap said. ''There was a lot of international media coverage, which is hard to put a dollar value on. One way to look at it is that the games had a five-hour highlight package that screened on Chinese TV. That coverage had the potential to be seen by millions and millions of people, and showed not only the action unfolding on the slopes, but a lot of coverage of Queenstown and Wanaka outside of the games. If you took that package and placed a dollar value of what it would cost Destination Queens- town or Lake Wanaka Tourism to get that kind of coverage and viewership then that is a part of what the media analysis does.'' The games hubs set up in downtown Queenstown and Wanaka were a huge focal point for off-piste action during the games, but already organisers ''could easily see'' far more effective ways of running the hubs for the next Winter Games, scheduled for 2015, Mr Klap said. Bikers encouraged to speak up on Kepler Track access Wheely keen: Queenstown Mountainbike Club president Tom Hey at Coronet Peak's Rude Rock mountain bike track. Mr Hey is keen to see the Kepler Track opened to mountainbikers, and is encouraging submissions on the subject. Photo: GRANT BRYANT 627411520 By GRANT BRYANT Mountainbike club members and bikers in general are being urged to make submissions to the Conservation Department that could result in the Kepler Track being opened to mountainbikers. Under the conservation management strategy review, the Kepler Track could be opened to bikers during certain parts of the year, similar to the department opening the Heaphy track in Kahurangi National Park to bikers between May and September. Queenstown Club president Tom Hey said he had written a submission on behalf of the club, and also supported the Te Anau Cycling Club's submission. ''This is a massive opportunity to get some amazing terrain, which doesn't otherwise exist in scale and beauty, open to bikers,'' he said. ''The club's submission covers all of our members, but I've encour- aged individual members to do their own submissions, and would also encourage anyone who loves the freedom of getting into the back country on their bike to make a submission too.'' The subject of whether the Kepler should be open to mountainbikers has run red hot on social media and tramping and mountainbike forums, and Fairfax's Stuff website, with many trampers saying mountainbikers are dangerously selfish, destroy tracks and would force them to look over their shoulders every five seconds to ensure their safety. Submissions close on Friday.


Ken Block, who has criticized the department's sick-time policy, said he believes the move, which came a day after a Journal piece on the sick-time issue and the same day as Block filed a public information request, to be retaliatory.
WARWICK — On Wednesday morning, a vocal critic of the fire department filed a request for public information.
On Wednesday afternoon, the same critic, Ken Block, heard a knock at the door and learned that the Fire Department would inspect his business, Simpatico Software, which is among three businesses operating in a building at 20 Altieri Way.
Block was immediately suspicious that the inspection was a way of retaliating against him for the watchdog-style criticism he has focused on Warwick firefighters' use of sick-time benefits.
The firefighters' union president, Michael Carreiro, flatly denied that assertion Thursday, saying that the inspection was necessary and in line with protocol.
The timing of the inspection at the premises of a loud fire department critic drew additional attention to the sick-time issue; Block immediately telephoned broadcasters at WPRO radio.
The Wednesday walk-through of Simpatico included a look outside the rear entrance, according to Block. A small arm on an emergency floodlight over the back door was broken, subtly angling the direction of the light toward the building and the door underneath it rather than straight down, Block said afterward.
Block said he was told the owner of the property, Frank Paolino, would be notified of the issue. Following the inspection, he said, he received no paperwork.
Fire Marshal Michael R. Matteson confirmed that the department inspected Block's office and noted that other units in the same building also were inspected.
"We had an anonymous complaint come into our office, so we had to go investigate, based on an unsafe condition," Matteson said, adding that the inspection did not identify any issues at the time.
Matteson limited his comments, saying that information such as the address of the inspection needed to be gained through a public records request.
On Tuesday, Block's testimony before the City Council was quoted in a Providence Journal article about the fire department's administration of sick-time benefits.
In May, Block told the council that through an accounting practice, firefighters are receiving more sick-time benefits than they are entitled to. The benefits include payments for unused sick time.
Mayor Joseph J. Solomon recently told The Journal that he put an end to a practice related to the calculation of such payments.
Carreiro, who denies that firefighters are receiving too many benefits, told The Journal that a monthly credit the firefighters had received in their unused sick time calculation was part of a "side agreement" with the previous administration of Mayor Scott Avedisian.
On Wednesday morning, Block filed a request seeking access to any side agreements negotiated with unions that are not in their contracts.
Calling the fire department's inspection "an amateur and thuggish alternative to intimidation," Block said Thursday that he was a target of retaliation, related to the earlier Journal article and to his public records request.
Almost no one visits the building because the businesses that operate there do not interact with the public, Block said.
"The only way you would notice that light was broken is if you're pretty much standing under it," he said.
"So unless the UPS guy filed a complaint, there's nobody else credible who might have done so," he said.
Carreiro said the department had to do the inspection based on the complaint.
"There is not a retaliation," he said.


Page 6, VI. Reinforcements, D. If the location where the reinforcement units are to enter the game is occupied or completely surrounded by enemy units, the owning player must place them in any adjacent land hex free of enemy units. If and only if, all such hexes are enemy occupied, the owning player has the choice of placing the reinforcements in any one of those occupied, adjacent land hexes. In this case, they may not move during the turn of placement on the mapboard.
Page 10, IV. B. Fortifications, 1.g. When enemy units are both inside and outside a Fort, they must be attacked separately. All enemy units outside must be eliminated before units inside may be attacked. Both groups may be attacked consecutively in the same turn. Casualty results against units outside the Fort do not affect units inside.
Page 10, IV. B. Fortifications, 1.j. Casualties against units in Forts are evaluated normally.
Page 13, II. A. Bateaus as Transport, 11.f. Bateaus may not enter hexsides containing any other type of enemy naval units (BF or TR).
Page 17, VII. B. Continental Army Winter Reduction, 4. Continental Army Strength Points are automatically reduced by 75% in Canada, the West Indies, and at sea.
1. French land forces may operate independently of the naval fleets transporting them.
2. If due to combat, ONE OR MORE French Battle Fleets are ever sunk, ALL French land forces must be withdrawn from North America and removed to the West Indies. The remaining Battle Fleets must attempt to embark French land forces by the most direct route and manner possible. Failure to move in the most direct and expedient manner results in the immediate elimination of all French land and naval forces. The most direct route is that route which requires the fewest turns from embarkation to arrival in the West Indies box of the OFF Board Movement (OBM) Chart (see Seapower rules).
3. French land forces are provided with Supply units as part of their order-of-battle. When engaged in combat, American and French supply sources may be used interchangeably.
4. Whenever a French Fleet begins its turn in an OBM Chart (see 'Seapower' Section) transitional box marked 'FR', it may embark one supply unit (if it is not already loaded to capacity) if there is a French Supply unit available. It may not move in the turn in which it embarks the Supply unit. ONLY French Supply units not already on the mapboard may be embarked.
5. Additionally, upon French intervention, one French Supply unit is placed in the French 'West Indies' box. It may be embarked immediately or held in reserve.

NOTE: Under this system, allow French Fleets to be overloaded on their initial entry into the game until they enter a friendly port at which time they must debark units to conform to their maximum optional capacities.
Page 22, VII. SUPERIOR BRITISH FIRE DISCIPLINE. Deleted in its entirety.
Q. The rules state that if one or more French Battle Fleets are ever sunk, the rest of the French forces must be withdrawn to the West Indies. What happens if all three French BF's are sunk? Are all French forces eliminated?
A. Yes. In this case, they would be eliminated at the end of the current player-segment. Note that if the French VF unit was not available, all French SP's would be eliminated, as if all French naval forces were sunk.
Q. Can British fleets control ports?
A. No. Control is defined as occupying with at least one CSP of British Regular Infantry.
Q. If all friendly land units are eliminated in combat in a Port hex, are the friendly fleet units in that port destroyed, captured, or unaffected?
A. They are unaffected as it is assumed they would move out to sea.
Q. When attacking enemy units in a Fort and outside of it in a multiple attack, are Tactical Cards used?
A. Yes. Note, however, that tactical cards are not used in subsequent multiple combats after all of the units outside the Fort are eliminated.
Q. Can a magazine be used to construct a fort as long as 1 CA/BR and 1/A are present?
A. Yes, but the magazine counter is removed (i.e., reduced to supply unit status).
Q. Can units move into and out of besieged Fort hexes adjacent to waterways by using Bateaux?
A. Only if the Fort is located adjacent to a class 3 river/lake hexside.
Q. In regards to At Start positioning and placement of reinforcements, must all scheduled Strength Points be placed on one hex when a "within two hexes of . . ." or "on, or within on hex of . . ." is indicated?
A. Yes, units are placed on one hex, but the above wordings give a certain amount of latitude as to which hex it is.
Q. In regards to Bateaux and/or river movement on the St. Lawrence River, may Bateaux move down the river and into Lake Ontario through the extreme top hexsides at FFF and HHH?
A. Yes, they are playable hexsides for river movement as Class 3 lake hexsides.
Q. If a British unit expends six movement points moving adjacent to a class 1 river and attempts to Force March, does it roll on the "1" column (because it has one MP remaining) or on the "2" column (because it cost 2 MP to enter the adjacent hex from across the river)?
A. It must roll on the "2" column. Any remaining MP's that are not expended in regular movement are lost when attempting a Forced March.
Q. If there are no British strength points in Halifax, may British reinforcements and replacements appear there?
Q. In the CSG may American replacements be placed ON uncontrolled Strategic Towns?
A. Yes, in general any reference to "within x number of hexes" of a certain location means all hexes within that radius.
Q. In the CSG may British reinforcements be brought on within a fort on a Port hex if that fort has American units on top of it?
A. Yes. See CSG Rules IIIA2b and IIID3c.
Q. May Bateaux pass by a fort containing a supplied artillery unit if no units are outside the fort?
A. Yes. Only British transports on class 2 rivers are required to stop for supplied artillery units in forts.
Q. In the CSG may troops embark/disembark in a fortified port hex, if that port hex is besieged without having to stop outside the fort?
A. Yes. Note, however, they must pay the extra 5 MP cost for embarking/disembarking in an enemy occupied hex.
Q. If the British control all Strategic Towns in New England, but not Montreal and/or Quebec, the area is considered uncontrolled. Question: Where are CA and RM replacements placed?
A. Within one hex of any Strategic Town hex.
Q. If the French must withdraw their land forces due to French fleets being sunk, what happens to supply units and artillery units used to build forts and magazines?
A. Forts, supply units, and magazines remain, but all French strength points and artillery units must be withdrawn.
Q. The Br/MVC state that in 1777 control of all Strategic Towns in an Area is a possible MVC and, in 1779, a necessary one. In New England and the Middle States, control of all Strategic Towns in the area doesn't necessarily imply control of the area (because of Montreal and Quebec). Question: Is control of these two Canadian towns a necessary condition for the MVC? Also, by the same token, is control of these two towns considered for CA Winter Reduction purposes?
Q. Boston and Montreal are entrenched at the start of the CSG. Assuming that the converse of the Entrenchment rules are true and no Fort can be built on top of Entrenchments (Yes), how do I construct the fort, as long as I have the necessary units?
A. Build the Fort, removing 1 CA/BR, 1/A, 1/S, and the entrenchment counter.
Q. If "change" cannot be made due to lack of appropriate smaller denomination counters not in play, is the entire force (or at least a larger part of it than called for by losses) eliminated?
Q. What is the movement cost to debark units from a naval unit and embark different units onto it in the same turn and in the same port hex? If enemy units occupy the hex?
A. It would cost 10 MP for the naval unit (5 for embarkation, 5 for debarkation) in a non-enemy occupied hex, and 20 MP (10 for embarkation, 10 for debarkation) in an enemy occupied hex.
Q. Are CA units in Canada considered to be in the Middle States or New England Areas for the purpose of determining Area Status?
A. They are considered to be in Canada, and therefore do not affect the status of either area.
Q. What is the movement point cost for Cooper's Ferry (RR33-RR34) across the class 3 river?
A. It would cost two additional movement points, same as class 2 river.

UPDATE: Wednesday, Feb. 24 9:26 a.m. AEDT — Victims have the go-ahead to face to face Cardinal George Pell when he gives evidence in Rome next week, according to Sky News.
A crowdfunding campaign to fly sexual abuse survivors from the Australian town of Ballarat to face Cardinal George Pell as he gives testimony regarding child abuse in Rome has doubled its initial target.
Pell was excused from giving evidence in person at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in Ballarat after he was deemed too ill to fly as per a medical report, according to the ABC.
Pell's lawyers successfully applied for the Cardinal to appear via an audio-visual link, despite several abuse victims stating their opposition to the application. The exact reasons for his illness were not divulged in the report, as it would "provoke some sort of a debate in the press," Pell's lawyer Allan Myers QC said, according to the report.
The GoFundMe crowdfunding page was created on Feb. 14 by comedian Meshel Laurie and television host Gorgi Coghlan, with the aim to raise A$55,000 (US$38,993) to send 15 survivors, support staff and representatives from Ballarat over to Rome, where they want to hear Pell give evidence in a public forum.
At the time of writing, more than A$123,000 (US$87,203) has been raised in the campaign in two days, consisting of 2,671 donors. Laurie expressed her elation at the "incredible response" to the campaign on Twitter Wednesday morning.
Laurie also confirmed the excess cash will go towards building a healing centre for victims of sexual abuse by the clergy, and all of the cash will go towards the centre — if the survivors are denied access to Pell's testimony in Rome.
Pell is due to give evidence on Feb. 29, with the crowdfunding campaign stating on its page that "the opportunity to face Cardinal Pell is the least our community can do for these brave people who have bared their souls to ensure the world is a safer place for all children."
Meanwhile, comedian and singer Tim Minchin penned and performed a song called "Come Home" — urging Cardinal Pell to do just that.
The song has since faced controversy, with The Project host Steve Price saying it amounted to "personal abuse," according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

The Angle of Doom
When an asteroid hits a planet, it's not just about the energy
By Caleb A. Scharf on May 28, 2020
Credit: C. Scharf 2020
Today the story is a familiar one, trotted out with regularity everywhere from classrooms to cartoons: Some sixty-six million years ago the Yucatán peninsula had a very bad day. An extraterrestrial object more than 10 kilometers across intersected Earth's orbit at precisely the same time that the Earth slid through that point. In a matter of moments this huge mass pushed aside the atmosphere in a great shock front and plowed into the surface of the planet.
Depositing an unspeakable amount of energy (possibly on the order of a hundred terratons of TNT equivalent explosive energy) it dug a hundred-and-fifty-kilometer-wide, thirty-kilometer-deep crater. It triggered a vast combustion of organic material. It produced a tsunami that reached around the world, including up to the-then inland seas of North America. And it pumped vaporized rock, dust, and climate-changing gases into the atmosphere, driving the extinction of 75% of plant and animal species on Earth (although a few scientists still point to large-scale volcanic activity that was ongoing during the same period as a culprit or contributor).
But, like so many phenomena, the details really matter. In the case of the Chicxulub impact, and other large impacts, it's not just the mass and speed of the incoming object – be it asteroid or comet. It turns out that the direction, or angle of impact, is also critically important.
In a study by Collins et al. recently published in Nature Communications, this factor gets new scrutiny. Using a combination of 3D computer modeling of the impact in the Yucatán, and an ever-increasing set of data on the crater's detailed structure and configuration (including deep core samples being taken by ocean-going scientific drilling missions) the authors assemble an argument for an inclined impact.
Specifically, they suggest that the impactor came in from the northeast with an angle some 45 to 60 degrees from the horizontal. According to their models that also means that this impact likely released more climate-changing gases than the same mass impactor coming in from either a near-vertical or much shallower angle. The reason comes down to the subtleties of the geology of the Yucatán region 66 million years ago, and the depth and vigor of the impact. Hitting with an angle between 30 and 60 degrees is literally the "worst-case scenario" for ejecting masses of carbon dioxide and sulfur into the environment – by factors of 2 to 10.
It's a bit like adding insult to injury. That bad day in the Yucatán was made even more unlucky because of the angle of impact. This also suggests that judging the effect of asteroid impacts across Earth's history and on the biosphere requires further care to get the details nailed down. That includes any potential impacts in our future.

Q: Multiple "Sub-Applications" In One (Conflicting CSS) I've been tasked to migrate an existing web application written in Ruby over to React and Node, however to make the migration seamless and quick (while we work on modularizing everything), we were hoping that the existing stylesheets could be ported over.
However, due to the way React bundles everything, there are a lot of conflicts in rules and styles. Short of hacks to enable / disable stylesheets is there any way to migrate over entire sheets and dynamically switch between them without having conflicts (I've tried namespacing them as well, however I haven't been able to achieve perfect results).
The application uses different versions of Bootstrap, one of my latest attempts to kind of "hackishly" solve the problem was something along the lines of:
Array.from(document.getElementsByTagName('link')).forEach(e => {
    if (e.getAttribute('href') === "/assets/css/application.css") {
      e.disabled = false;
    } else if (e.getAttribute('href') === "/assets/css/parent_css.css") {
      e.disabled = true;
    } else if (e.getAttribute('href') === "/assets/css/sb-admin-2.css") {
      e.disabled = true;
    }
  });

Which works however there's a flicker as the style sheets are determined. Is there a way to prevent React from bundling the CSS and dynamically selecting a stylesheet? (Or perhaps even prevent React from bundling it all together?)

SUBJECT MATTER: Writer responds to federal reserve 'misconception,' Cumberland Times-News, Tues., October 8, 1991.
I must take exception to my so called misconception of the Federal Reserve System by [name withheld] in the Readers Commentary published in the Times-News on 7-23-91.
Mr. ***** you are right about the court cases that have been filed. But the reason they have never reached trial stage is because the special interests that benefit from this unconstitutional money system have the money and influence to prevent court precedings.
I agree the Federal Reserve Banks are not responsible for the over three trillion dollar national debt directly. Congress uses the Federal Reserve as a credit card or a crutch and their chicken hearted attitude towards tax increases to pay for their enormous spending programs have provided them another way to buy votes back home.
They simply pass the costs onto future generations and the working people get taxed through paying interest on the debt Congress creates.
The international bankers love this because they get billions of dollars of unearned interest from the taxpayers.
Presidents Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson opposed this unconstitutional money scheme because it transformed wealth from the people to the international bankers who won the unconstitutional central bank.
This is why President Jackson destroyed the central bank during his administration.
Two money systems presently exist in the U.S. One system is publicly owned based on using non-interest bearing U.S. notes. The other system is privately owned and unconstitutional interest bearing Federal Reserve notes. (Article 1, Sec.8 Clause 5, U.S. Constitution).
Yes, Mr. *****, the banks are required to maintain a portion of their deposits as cash reserves in the form of U.S. note deposits in reserve banks. And the reason we see very few non-interest bearing U.S. notes in circulation is because thay are "non-interest bearing" and kept in bank vaults out of circulation.
In December, 1913; with a barequorum present, Congress passed the 16th Amendment to the Constitution (Federal Income Tax) and also passed the unconstitutional "Federal" Reserve Act. The 16th Amendment was the vehicle to take money out of the wokring people's pockets to pay for the unearned interest that the Federal Reserve Act creates and this transfers wealth from the working taxpayer to the rich owners of the unconstitutional "Federal" Reserve who do nothing to earn the money because nothing is backing their privately owned Federal Reserve Notes.
This is how they have the unending supply of money to pay for the transfer of wealth, created by the middle income taxpayer, to the super rich.
My assertion that the Federal Reserve System is the main reason local governments are in a financial bind is true because the stock owners of the "Federal" Reserve System are raking in all the profits instead of the money going to the people.
If we would have Congress repeal the Federal Reserve Act and eliminate this unconstitutional debt interest system, there would be no national debt and over 300 billion dollars that the taxpayers pay annually on just the interest on this debt, which is unearned interest, created by the liberal finance big spenders could be used to fund a public health program for all Americans, infrastructure for bridges and road repairs, school system, local government expenses and senior citizen needs.
Mr. ***** you say whether the system is legal, illegal, Constitutional or unconstitutional you can be sure if you read Article I, Section8, Clause 5 and Article 1, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution that Congress in Dec., 1913, abrogated their Constsitutional oath by passing the "Federal" Reserve Act without a Constitutional amendment ratified by three-fourths of the states consenting.
You may or may not agree that the Federal Reserve Board is staffed by appointments rather than by elections, but the U.S. Constitution empowers only Congress to control the value of the dollar.
This divorced monetary policy means the people lost their Constitutional right to control the money system through their elected representatives thereby giving an unelected monopoly of international bankers control of the money system instead of the citizens of the U.S. as defined by the U.S. Constitution.
Mr. ***** how do you get additional money into the system as the population increases? You get it only through debt and these ownersof the "Federal" Reserve get a royalty on every additional dollar added to the system through unearned interest!
Mr. *****, you say you sleep better at night because Chairman Greenspan and the Board-of-Governors of the Federal Reserve (who have control over whether we have recession or prosperity by raising or lowering discount rates of (interest) and completely independant of the elected officials) rather than the likesof Ted Kennedy, the "Keating Five", etc. If you recall "Keating Five" was in trouble because of the crooked bankers campaign funds influence and I would like to refer you to the current BCCI international bankers world wide scandal of the century. Personally, I don't sleep too well at all.

Jailed ex-Celtic Boys Club manager Frank Cairney loses bail bid
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-48380551

Image caption Frank Cairney was jailed for four years over the attacks which dated back to the 1980s
An ex-Celtic Boys Club manager jailed for sexually abusing young footballers has lost a bid to be released on bail while appealing his conviction.
Frank Cairney, 83, was sentenced to four years in prison on nine charges dating back to the 1980s.
He had asked to be granted bail on health grounds but the request was turned down by a judge at the Appeal Court in Edinburgh.
Cairney was acquitted of similar charges 20 years ago.
His trial at Hamilton Sheriff Court last December heard his victims had suffered badly from the abuse.
Sheriff Daniel Kelly described Cairney as a "wolf in sheep's clothing".
Cairney, of Viewpark, North Lanarkshire, is among four former Celtic Boys Club coaches to be convicted of child sex abuse in recent months.
'Deep regret'
In November, Boys Club founder Jim Torbett was jailed for six years, while another coach, teacher Gerald King, was also convicted of abusing boys at a school.
Earlier this month, 73-year-old Jim McCafferty was given a further jail sentence after admitting a series of child sex abuse crimes.
He was sentenced to six years and nine months after he admitted 12 charges related to attacks on 10 teenage boys between 1972 and 1996.
He was already serving a jail term for abuse.
After the conviction of Torbett, Celtic expressed "deep regret" for the victims but stressed the boys club was a separate entity.
The club made a similar statement following the conviction of Cairney.

F & M Bank, Edmond, Oklahoma, Assumes All of the Deposits of First Capital Bank, Kingfisher, Oklahoma
LaJuan Williams-Young
Email: lwilliams-young@fdic.gov
First Capital Bank, Kingfisher, Oklahoma, was closed today by the Oklahoma State Banking Department, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with F & M Bank, Edmond, Oklahoma, to assume all of the deposits of First Capital Bank.
The sole branch of First Capital Bank will reopen on Saturday as a branch of F & M Bank. Depositors of First Capital Bank will automatically become depositors of F & M Bank. Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no need for customers to change their banking relationship in order to retain their deposit insurance coverage up to applicable limits. Customers of First Capital Bank should continue to use their existing branch until they receive notice from F & M Bank that it has completed systems changes to allow other F & M Bank branches to process their accounts as well.
This evening and over the weekend, depositors of First Capital Bank can access their money by writing checks or using ATM or debit cards. Checks drawn on the bank will continue to be processed. Loan customers should continue to make their payments as usual.
As of March 31, 2012, First Capital Bank had approximately $46.1 million in total assets and $44.8 million in total deposits. F & M Bank will pay the FDIC a premium of 7.65 percent to assume all of the deposits of First Capital Bank. In addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, F & M Bank agreed to purchase approximately $40.7 million of the failed bank's assets. The FDIC will retain the remaining assets for later disposition.
Customers with questions about today's transaction should call the FDIC toll-free at 1-800-591-2845. The phone number will be operational this evening until 9:00 p.m., Central Daylight Time (CDT); on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., CDT; on Sunday from noon to 6:00 p.m., CDT; on Monday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., CDT; and thereafter from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., CDT. Interested parties also can visit the FDIC's Web site at http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/firstcapital.html.
The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) will be $5.6 million. Compared to other alternatives, F & M Bank's acquisition was the least costly resolution for the FDIC's DIF. First Capital Bank is the 25th FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the first in Oklahoma. The last FDIC-insured institution closed in the state was First National Bank of Davis, Davis, on March 11, 2011.
Congress created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in 1933 to restore public confidence in the nation's banking system. The FDIC insures deposits at the nation's 7,309 banks and savings associations, and it promotes the safety and soundness of these institutions by identifying, monitoring and addressing risks to which they are exposed. The FDIC receives no federal tax dollars — insured financial institutions fund its operations.
FDIC press releases and other information are available on the Internet at www.fdic.gov, by subscription electronically (go to www.fdic.gov/about/subscriptions/index.html) and may also be obtained through the FDIC's Public Information Center (877-275-3342 or 703-562-2200). PR-64-2012
