later date. For example: "Is 'Anonymous' the nom de plume of A. E. van Vogt? Is Shaver to be put on the air in a program sponsored by the Schick Injector Razor Company? Did Weaver Wright plagiarize a story from Alden Lorraine?" And many more. Tune in next issue and find out. There was some talk on methods of enlivening the club. Dale Hart thought that it would be a good idea to have one big open-house meeting every month in which we really went alll out to entertain visitors. These would probably be on the first meeting of every month and the old-standbys of the club could take turns being responsible for a speaker or some sort of program. The idea was approved of by most of the members. March 18th; 432nd consecutive meeting: Forrest has discovered that the LASFS library has the wanderlust -- a fact which has been suspected by the members for quite a while. G. Gordon Dewey sent Forrest a copy of the fanmagazine "UNIQUE" and on the inside he found the official library sticker of this club. Dewey says that he bought the magazine from Gertrude Gordon of New York. March 25th; 433rd consecutive meeting: It seems that there is still another legal suit taking place in fandom: Forrest J. Ackerman is suing A. E. van Vogt. It seems that Mr. van Vogt dedicated his book (and his wife's), "OUT OF THE UNKNOWN", to Forrest, but copies of the book were already rolling off the presses before he phoned to ask his permission to do so; it is illegal to dedicate a publication to someone without their prior permission. Mr. van Vogt made at various times during the course of the meeting the following statements: "The magazine CLUE is going to have a science-fiction department, edited by Anthony Boucher. They are going to review "THE WORLD OF X." The jacket for "OUT OF THE UNKNOWN" is very nice and I like the illustrations for "THE WITCH" but the illustrated capital letters are too simple in design. "KEEPERS OF THE GREAT GATE" by Gottlieb is an exceptional science-fiction story. Dale Hart, editor of Shangri-La: "The second issue of Shangri-La was much better than the first; letters and subscriptions have been pouring in. The minutes were especially liked. Does anyone here know a gentleman by the name of Gilbert Cochrane. He has sent me four almost-incomprehensible letters telling me that my becoming editor of Shangri-La fulfilled certain prophecies; it's all conneccted with tibet, you know. In one letter, an especially bulky one which he sent airmail--as he does all the others--contained four cards and a package of evil-smelling mess.The 'mess' was a collection of "esoteric herbs" which have something to do with seeing visions in the cracks of sidewalks and horses' hooves. He lives in a lockbox. He's a friend of Vincent Gaddis, a Shaverite. Mr. van Vogt, again: "I have a 'friend' coming to visit me whom I think I'm going to refer to Forrest. I'e received several letters from him, all marked "PERSONAL" or/and "HIGHLY IMPORTANT" in large letters. In them he claims to have special knowledge of Mars and Venus. He's in Phoenix now and he's going to stop by and visit me when he comes through Los Angeles. It seems he's a world traveler. Somehow, or another, I don't want to see him." The rest of the meeting was occupied with a discussion of the various presidential candidates -- MacArthur, Dewey, MacArthur, Stassen, MacArthur, Taft, MacArthur, Eisenhower, MacArthur. The discussion was lead by visitor Neisen Himmel, who works for Hearst. April 1st; 434th consecutive meeting: Dave Fox amused us by telling us about the 5th anniversary meeting of the Reaction Research Society when Arthur Louis Joquel, 11, showed movies of the 8.

Quantum processor demonstrated under less frigid conditions
Published Thursday, April 16, 2020
Scientists have demonstrated a basic silicon-based quantum processor which functions at temperatures a magnitude higher than the basic quantum computers being developed by key players like Google and IBM.
Quantum computers are in early stages of development, but have the potential to completely outperform classical computers. They use qubits as their basic units of information, which can exist in a superposition of binary states (rather than just as a 0 or 1 like a bit).
There are a number of serious technical barriers in quantum computing, such as the fact that each pair of qubits added to a system in close proximity with other qubits increases thermal energy, increasing risk of errors. This means that quantum computers only work when the qubits are spaced out and cooled to a fraction of a degree above absolute zero.
This makes them impractical, given how expensive and energy-intensive dilution refrigeration can become close to absolute zero. It can cost millions of pounds to maintain systems at these temperatures to perform calculations, which – until recently, when Google claimed to have reached "quantum supremacy" – can also be performed on classical computers.
Now, scientists have demonstrated a quantum processor unit cell which works at 1.5K (-271.65°C). Despite still being much colder than anything we are familiar with in our everyday lives, this represents quantum computing at temperatures approximately 15 times higher than had previously been achieved by IBM and Google, who use superconducting qubits cooled to almost absolute zero.
According to the University of New South Wales' Professor Andrew Dzurak, who led one of the research groups: "This is still very cold, but is a temperature that can be achieved using just a few thousand dollars' worth of refrigeration, rather than then millions of dollars needed to cool chips to 0.1K. While difficult to appreciate using our everyday concepts of temperature, this increase is extreme in the quantum world.
"Our new results open a path from experimental devices to affordable quantum computers for real-world business and government applications," said Dzurak. According to the researchers, as temperatures rise above 1K, the cost of maintaining quantum computing systems drops "substantially" and efficiency improves.
Dzurak's team – which worked with collaborators in Canada, Finland and Japan – first revealed their experimental results in February last year, which was followed months later by a Dutch group confirming similar results. Dzurak and his team have now detailed their work in a Nature paper. The paper was published back-to-back with the Dutch group's paper, which demonstrated a quantum circuit which operates at 1.1K.
The basic quantum processor developed by Dzurak's team comprises of two qubits confined in a pair of quantum dots (tiny semiconductor particles) embedded in silicon. While previously qubits have been separated in order to prevent heating, and connected with cables to read information, this team has instead used electrons tunnelling between quantum dots – which can be placed close together – to "read" the qubits.
At this stage, the researchers have demonstrated that the system maintains coherence 1.5K for two microseconds: approximately as long as more conventional 0.1K quantum processor can maintain coherence.
According to the researchers, a scaled-up version of the unit cell could be manufactured using conventional manufacturing processes and equipment, operate without the need for million-dollar-refrigeration, and would be easier to integrate with conventional hardware due to the use of a silicon-based platform.

Nairn girl's charity work recognised with Royal wedding invitation
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-43752027
Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Image caption Lily and her brother Hamish
A girl has been invited to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding in recognition of charity work she does in memory of her brother.
Lily Hey's brother Hamish died last year at the age of eight following a battle against cancer.
The 11-year-old and her family are raising funds to create a beach-front community feature in their home town in Nairn.
Lily's grandmother Liz Bow has also been invited to the wedding.
How a community aims to find a place for Hamish
More than 1,000 members of the public have been invited to the grounds of Windsor Castle for the occasion on 19 May.
Charity workers, school children, royal household members and Windsor residents are among those invited.
Lily's parents, Susan and Sam, will accompany her and her grandmother to the wedding as guests.
Image caption Hamish's family are raising funds to create a new community asset for Nairn
Hamish was two years old in 2011 when he was diagnosed with a metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma - a rare and aggressive soft tissue cancer.
Months of intensive treatment followed, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Hamish also had pioneering surgery called rotationplasty which resulted in him having a prosthetic limb.
In March 2016, Hamish was diagnosed with a DIPG, an aggressive, inoperable tumour within the brainstem.
It was unconnected to his earlier cancer, and there was no cure.
The diagnosis came when Susan was receiving treatment herself for breast cancer.
The Hey family raised funds to support charities that helped Hamish with his treatment and care.
In May last year, following Hamish's death, the family set up TeamHamish to raise money for the building of a new community feature in Nairn.

There are things I have taken to love about living in Pennsylvania, and that is mostly the abundance of fresh produce, farmer's markets (or really, having farms basically in my backyard), and a nice little city where parking is always available, on street, for free. I'm becoming accustomed to small city living finally. Jason and I enjoyed a day walking around downtown, stopping at the market, buying ourselves a local root beer, and just moseying about.
Wow, you look so well wearing green :) It's amazing :) The dress is fantastic !
That satchel from Modcloth is every bit as amazing as I imagined it would be!
I just love that you have a cut-away dress that so perfectly shows off your tattoo!


Lowlife Seeds is a brand that focuses primarily on auto flowering seeds. Many people prefer to use auto flowering seeds purely to make their lives easier. Lowlife has focused most of its energy over the years on replicating, tampering with, and improving the genetics of one Lowryder strain. The Lowryder strain is a very popular form of auto flowering plant and the good people of Lowlife Seeds have been working for years in order to find other strains with which to cross-breed it to improve its already impressive genetic structure. Even though this has been the main effort of this brand they do still supply regular seeds of an equal quality to the seeds of their main projects.
Regular seeds are still used worldwide by many growers, usually those who have been growing for a long time, are experienced enough to handle them, and like to keep their growing the same way that they have always done it. Many people simply do not trust genetic modifications in their seeds. Regular seeds produce a roughly even split of male and female plants. Many people have no need for the male plants hence the use of feminised seeds etc. but if you wish to cultivate your own seed harvest then regular plants are really the way to go.
Using regular plants is not only a far simpler process to create seeds but you can also choose for yourself which of your plants are ahead of the rest of the pack and use them as your parent seeds. This way you can breed out any faults with your crops and maintain only the strongest and finest genetics. Many prefer this to leaving your next crop in the hands of a strange company.
Lowlife pride themselves on supplying something for everyone. As they have all been regular customers of the seed and marijuana industry they understand what people are looking for in their suppliers. People want to buy from brands that show they care about their product, sell at fair and competitive prices, and attempt to please everyone without allowing themselves to be too widely spread over too many strains sacrificing the quality of their product. Lowlife is that kind of brand.


Surrounded by rolling green hills lined with coffee plantations, Sarchi is the premiere destination in Costa Rica for souvenirs. This area is home to the highest population of artisans, crafters and wood workers in the country. There are over 200 such shops in this small pueblo! Of course, the village is not only comprised of artisan shops, there are also many small eateries and a few site worth viewing such as the beautiful double steeple church in the town center.
You will not find the traditional tourist trap trinkets in Sarchi. The local artisans take great pride in their work and specialize in items such as traditional ox carts, wooden rocking chairs, and carved statues of animals.
Many consider the Central Valley to be the most comfortable climate in the world with temperatures usually hovering in the upper 70s during the day and lower 60s at night. The rain season here runs from May through November, though the heavy rains are generally during September and October.
Visitors should pack shorts, tee shirts, appropriate shoes, rain gear, sun block. It is also advised to bring at least one pair of pants and a long sleeve shirt.
Fun Fact: Sarchi is a magnet for local artisans.

CAFE 541: Movies opening in Eugene-Springfield for the week of Jan. 10-16
Jan 12, 2020 at 7:10 PM Jan 13, 2020 at 6:50 AM
New releases include '1917,' 'Like a Boss' and more
1917: HHHH It's been a good time for World War I buffs — especially if they're also movie buffs (think "They Shall Not Grow Old"). In the feature film "1917," another of our most talented directors, Sam Mendes, has similarly taken top technology — and the best cinematography, courtesy of Roger Deakins — to give us a different, equally compelling look at that cruel war, through the eyes of two ordinary soldiers asked to perform an extraordinary task. R for violence, some disturbing images, and language. 119 minutes. Regal 15, Cinemark 17, City Lights Cinemas, Broadway Metro.
Just Mercy: HHH½ The stirring, stylish legal drama "Just Mercy" feels familiar on several levels. The story of a wrongly accused man sent to death row, it joins such films as "Dead Man Walking" and the more recent "Clemency" as an affecting examination of how justice is confused with inhumane retribution. PG-13 for mature thematic material including some racial epithets. 137 minutes. Regal 15, Cinemark 17.
Like a Boss: H½ True to its workplace-themed title, "Like a Boss" feels like a chore someone was handed. Perhaps oddest of all, Mel & Mia's company is all about selling makeup that doesn't hide a woman's natural beauty. But "Boss" trowels on the clown white, strenuously reaching for nonexistent yuks instead of trusting in the talent of its likable but ill-used cast. R for coarse language, crude sexual material and drug use. 83 minutes. Regal 15, Cinemark 17.
Tremors: (NR) Not previewed for our critics. The coming out of an evangelical father shatters his family, his community and uncovers a profoundly repressive society. No Motion Picture Association of America rating. 107 minutes. Broadway Metro. In Spanish, with English subtitles.
Underwater: HH The filmmakers started with an overused thriller cliche — trapped workers far from home, often in space. This time they're deep under the waves. You know the drill here: Don't get too close to any of these characters. Not all are going to make it. They have to move fast in knee-deep water through tunnels and across the ocean floor with fast-depleting oxygen. Oh, by the way, the drilling seems to have awoken mysterious sea beasts. PG-13 for sci-fi action and terror, and brief strong language. 95 minutes. Regal 15, Cinemark 17.
Continuing/Returning
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood: HHHH Where is the narrative tension in a character so universally cherished? How can you make a Mr. Rogers movie that isn't a mere nostalgia trip or heaping dollop of cloying sentiment? Perhaps most daunting: Why even try when there's a documentary — last year's "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" — that told Fred Rogers's story so splendidly? "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" answers all those questions with style and smarts, proving that, with the right cast, script and astute direction, even the most familiar story can feel new — and, given the tenor of these times, urgently needed. PG for some strong thematic material, a brief fight and some mildly coarse language. 108 minutes. Cinemark 17, Broadway Metro.
Bombshell: HH½ Anchored by an outstanding trio of performances (Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie), "Bombshell" manages to be a fascinating depiction of the complexities of workplace sexual harassment and the legal ramifications that are necessary to contend with in the post-#MeToo era. R for sexual material and language throughout. 108 minutes. Cinemark 17.
Cats: HH "Cats" the movie features prestigious performers from stage, screen, music and dance — including Jennifer Hudson, Sir Ian McKellan, Dame Judi Dench, Idris Elba, Rebel Wilson, James Corden and ballerina Francesca Hayward — all tricked out in digitally generated fur that is simultaneously so lifelike and so creepily hallucinatory that the cast looks like a colony of feral felines who have taken up permanent residence in the uncanny valley. PG for peril, some mature thematic elements and rude humor. 109 minutes. Regal 15, Cinemark 17, City Lights Cinemas.
Dark Waters: (NR) Outrage mixes with despair in "Dark Waters," an unsettling, slow-drip thriller about big business and the people who become its collateral damage. It's a fictional take on a true, ghastly story about a synthetic polymer that was discovered by a chemist at DuPont, which branded it Teflon. PG-13 for thematic content, some disturbing images and strong language. 126 minutes. David Minor.
Fantastic Fungi: (NR) "Fantastic Fungi" is a time-lapse journey from 2019 Maui Film Festival Visionary Award honoree and director Louie Schwartzberg about the mysterious world of fungi. No Motion Picture Association of America rating. 81 minutes. Broadway Metro.
Ford v Ferrari: HHH½ This infectious and engrossing story of the 1966 showdown on a French racetrack between car giants Ford and Ferrari is a high-octane ride that will make you instinctively stomp on a ghostly gas pedal from your movie seat. But you don't need to be a motorhead to enjoy Matt Damon and Christian Bale as a pair of rebels risking it all for purity and glory. PG-13 for some language and peril. 152 minutes. Regal 15.
Frozen II: HH½ "Frozen II" doesn't represent some giant leap forward for the "Frozen" universe, it merely keeps the franchise on track. For many, that'll be fine: more adventures of Elsa (Menzel), Anna (Kristen Bell), Olaf (Josh Gad) and Kristoff (Jonathan Groff). But the movie has all the staying power of a snowflake: It evaporates almost on contact. PG for action/peril and some thematic elements. 103 minutes. Regal 15, Cinemark 17.
The Grudge: (NR) The new "Grudge" — the second remake since the original theatrical movie, "Ju-On: The Grudge," a Japanese film first shown in 2002 — boasts respectable indie credentials from writer-director Nicolas Pesce, but it remains cursed by a fatally hokey concept. R for disturbing violence and bloody images, terror and some language. 94 minutes. Regal 15, Cinemark 17.
Honey Boy: HHH½ In the broadest sense, it's a portrait of a boy whose father doesn't, or can't, love him the way he needs. But broad isn't the point. The salacious tabloid sell is that Shia LaBeouf wrote this script about his life while in rehab. It was therapy, but besides the location, it's not terribly unique that a storyteller might get some personal catharsis. What separates "Honey Boy" from the standard confessional is the heart, precision and artfulness that LaBoeuf and director Alma Har'el employ to tell this story. R for pervasive language, some sexual material and drug use. 93 minutes. Broadway Metro.
Jojo Rabbit: HHH Now comes the boldly, unabashedly quirky "Jojo Rabbit" by New Zealand director Taika Waititi, who attempts this fiendishly difficult balancing act at a time when Nazi jokes seem even more potent and dangerous than a few decades ago. And that is precisely the point, Waititi says: Now, especially now, is the time to remind younger generations of what happened more than 70 years ago. And what better tool, as Mel Brooks has posited, than humor? That's his argument, anyway. PG-13 for mature thematic content, some disturbing images, violence and language. 108 minutes. Broadway Metro.
Judy: HH½ "Judy" is itself a fine and imperfect look at some of Garland's last years of life, but it really should have been something transcendent — Renée Zellweger's performance demands it. PG-13 for substance abuse, thematic content, some strong language and smoking. 118 minutes. David Minor.
Jumanji: The Next Level: HH½ The creators of the latest "Jumanji" sequel have begun from an age-old premise — if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And they've taken note of other successful franchises to adopt what must surely be a new Hollywood motto — just add more. So "Jumanji: The Next Level" brings together the same director, writers and actors who made the 2017 reboot so fun and then layers in more stars plus more locations and special effects. The result is a largely successful, if more unbalanced ride. It's also oddly wistful and melancholic. PG-13 for adventure action, suggestive content and some language. 123 minutes. Regal 15, Cinemark 17, City Lights Cinemas.
Knives Out: HHH½ Rian Johnson's "Knives Out" unravels not just a good old-fashioned murder mystery but the very fabric of the whodunit, pulling at loose threads until it has intricately, devilishly woven together something new and exceedingly delightful. PG-13 for thematic content, some disturbing images and strong language. 126 minutes. Regal 15, Cinemark 17, City Lights Cinemas, Bijou Art Cinemas, Broadway Metro.
The Lighthouse: HHH Enter "The Lighthouse " at your own risk. This is a stark, moody, surreal and prolonged descent into seaside madness that will surely not be for everyone. But those who do choose to go on this black-and-white journey with Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe will ultimately find it a rewarding one, even if the blaring fog horn rings in your ears for days to come. Director Robert Eggers has made something truly visionary — stripped down and out of time — that asks the viewer to simply submit to his distinctive, strange, funny and haunting tale of a pair of "wickies" in 1890 New England tasked with keeping the lighthouse running. R for sexual content, nudity, violence, disturbing images and some language. 110 minutes. Broadway Metro.
Little Women: HHHH There is a wild urgency to Greta Gerwig's "Little Women" that hardly seems possible for a film based on a 150-year-old book. But such is the magic of combining Louisa May Alcott's enduring story of those four sisters with Gerwig's deliciously feisty, evocative and clear-eyed storytelling that makes this "Little Women" a new classic. While no shortage of "Little Women" adaptations exist, Gerwig makes hers modern and sharp, while still adhering to its traditional root. PG for thematic elements and brief smoking. 134 minutes. Regal 15, Cinemark 17, City Lights Cinemas, Bijou Art Cinemas.
Pain and Glory: HHH½ The emotional register of "Pain and Glory" is quiet. Antonio Banderas gives an unexpected performance, one that's detailed, funny and contemplative, rueful but never regretful. Working with the legends of his long career to operationalize his past, Pedro Almodóvar crafts a singularly unique and medium-specific autobiography in which cinema is inextricably linked to his own story, to his heart, soul and body. R for drug use, some graphic nudity and language. 113 minutes. Broadway Metro. In Spanish, with English subtitles.
Parasite: HHHH "Parasite" is Bong Joon-ho's most sophisticated film to date, expertly plotted with breathtaking reveals, and shot with a smooth, slippery sheen, each frame and camera movement communicating a subconscious plot twist or theme. Invisible machinations ripple the story along its inevitable path. The ensemble cast is outstanding, their performances both unexpected and deeply humane. The film is riotously funny and devastatingly topical, tugging at the issues of income and class inequality, which motivates everything the Kims do, while the wealthy Parks have the privilege to ignore it all. The operatic, bloody finale and solemn denouement draws the fantasy of escaping one's own circumstances into a sharp relief, ultimately piercing the balloon of comedy, leaving tragedy in its wake, and the sheer triumph of Bong's seventh feature film, his best yet. R for language, some violence and sexual content. 132 minutes. Broadway Metro. In Korean, with English subtitles.
The Peanut Butter Falcon: HH½ Is its story of individual freedom versus societal constraint heartwarming? Yes. "Falcon" is also about family: Zak (Zack Gottsagen), without friends or kin, and Tyler (Shia LaBeouf), who is haunted by the premature death of his older brother, gradually come to see that they need each other. They invent a secret handshake, split a jug of brown liquor and wrestle while wearing helmets carved from watermelon rinds. As they travel the river sitting shoulder to shoulder, a handful of breathtaking shots chart their literal and metaphorical voyage together. PG-13 for mature thematic material, strong language throughout, some violence and smoking. 98 minutes. David Minor.
Queen & Slim: HHH½ Whipsawing between hope and devastation, "Queen & Slim" speaks to this specific cultural moment. It's not with a grounded realism, but with an almost operatic sense of melodrama, in the writing, performances and with Melina Matsouka's daring cinematic style, where beauty and politics are inextricably intertwined. It's an adrenaline shot right to the heart, and a bold declaration of a bright new auteur. R for violence, some strong sexuality, nudity, pervasive language, and brief drug use. 132 minutes. David Minor.
Richard Jewell: HH Despite some interesting performances, the whole film just makes you wonder what message Clint Eastwood might be trying to impart, with this film, in 2019, that essentially condemns the act of suspecting and investigating a young white man of domestic terrorism. When journalists are under physical and philosophical threat more than they ever have been, why paint them to be the true scourge, and not the actual terrorist, Eric Rudolph, who went on to claim more victims and who is completely absent from the film? No amount of Eastwood nostalgia can make the questionable message he tries to sell in "Richard Jewell" easier to accept. R for language including some sexual references, and brief bloody images. 129 minutes. David Minor.
Spies in Disguise: HHH To all appearances, the animated comedy "Spies in Disguise" is just another a rollicking sendup of superspy thrillers. As befits a movie about clandestine activity, however, there's more than meets the eye here. Hidden beneath its parodistic action-comedy exterior is a message, one that doesn't set out to merely lampoon the genre but to playfully question almost everything about it. PG for action, violence and rude humor. 103 minutes. Reviewed Wednesday on Page B5. Regal 15, Cinemark 17.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: HH Not much has caused a disturbance in the "Star Wars" galaxy quite like Rian Johnson's "The Last Jedi," an erratic but electric movie that, regardless of how you felt about it, was something worth arguing about. The same can't be said for J. J. Abrams' "Rise of Skywalker," a scattershot, impatiently paced, fan-servicing finale that repurposes so much of what came before that it feels as though someone searching for the hyperspace button accidentally pressed the spin cycle instead. A laundry list of plot points cluster like an asteroid field in "Rise of Skywalker." It's a spirited, hectic and ultimately forgettable conclusion of the Skywalker saga begun 42 years ago by George Lucas. PG-13 for sci-fi violence and action. 142 minutes. Regal 15 (3-D and IMAX 2-D), Cinemark 17 (3-D), City Lights Cinemas.
Uncut Gems: HHH½ In his previous films, Adam Sandler presents the predicament of a man-child, someone who has aged physically and perhaps intellectually but not emotionally. How does such a man get through life, and what about the people who have to live with him? Can he survive, and can they? In his best performances, Sandler offers a dark, bruising exploration of this state of being that actually tells us something. And his performance in "Uncut Gems" is indeed one of his best. R for pervasive strong language, violence, some sexual content and brief drug use. 135 minutes. Regal 15, Cinemark 17, Broadway Metro, David Minor.


Remember the time chasing was hard in ODIs? A second match of this series assumed heart-stopping proportions as a flat track, a fast outfield, short boundaries and batsmen with self-belief the size of a small planet came together. India put up 381, fuelled by a career-best 150 from Yuvraj Singh and a 10th hundred from MS Dhoni. But they only just came away the victors of the match, and the series, as Eoin Morgan responded with one of the great innings by a batsman in England colours.
Having fallen one over short of their target, England's players were fined 10% of their match fees and their captain Eoin Morgan twice that amount.
Match referee Andy Pycroft handed out the punishment after the concern was raised by the four umpires in the match. Morgan pleaded guilty but, should his team commit another minor over rate offence in ODIs within a 12-month period from now, he could end up facing suspension.
Beyond the runs Morgan made [102 off 81], beyond his ball-striking and the weird areas he exploited with those whiplash wrists - his composure under pressure was unreal. There were over 40, 000 people in Cuttack bellowing against him. The Indian spinners had done well despite the dew to complicate matters. The required run-rate had nudged over 10 at the end of the 36th over but, since England had lost half their side by then, Morgan had to wait. He was the set batsman - 46 off 48 balls - and his team needed him to last till the end. To that effect, he would defend his way through an R Ashwin over because after that it would be him against the Indian quicks. Morgan was gambling, and it was even paying off for a while.
In the end, a match that featured 747 runs, 19 sixes and 81 fours went down to the penultimate over when Jasprit Bumrah held his nerve to run Morgan out while he was backing up to get back on strike.
To get to that stage took a huge effort from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, playing his first ODI in a year. He began his second spell in the 42nd over, conceding just eight runs. He could have had a wicket, too, had Ravindra Jadeja been able to take a skier from Moeen Ali at long-on. In his next over, he gave away only three singles and bowled Moeen, who had hammered back-to-back fours to reach a half-century mere minutes ago. The wicket was the result of a little sleight of hand. With the required rate - two runs a ball - suffocating him, the batsman never saw the offcutter coming. As a result, instead of two well-set hitters at the crease, India had the comfort of aiming at England's lower order.
The other big play came in the middle overs, when Jadeja bowled the dangerous Jason Roy for 82 and Ashwin took care of Joe Root for 54. The offspinner then befuddled both Ben Stokes for 1 and Jos Buttler for 10 to rob England of a majority of their firepower, with the side 176 runs adrift of the target and nearly 20 overs left in the chase. Jadeja was remarkable. In a game where runs were scored at more than seven runs an over, he kept an economy rate of 4.5 by bowling wicket-to-wicket. And Ashwin went back to his old ways of deceiving batsmen in flight - Root top-edged a sweep, probably thinking the trajectory was flatter than it was. That broke a partnership of 100 between him and Roy at over run-a-ball. The crowd at Barabati stadium breathed easier.
They had spent the first innings in pure nostalgia with each ball that Yuvraj and Dhoni sent their way during a partnership of 256 in 230 balls. At one end, there were flowing drives with scintillating timing and from the other came brutal swats. No one was safe. Not Stokes, who was winded when Dhoni whacked a ball back at his chest. Not Alex Hales, who was wringing his fingers after trying to get under a pull from Dhoni. Not even the Spidercam was spared damage.
Yuvraj wasn't quite as murderous, or maybe he was and was just a little bit kinder to things both living and non-living on the ground. He came in at the end of the third over, enjoyed England trying to bounce him out on a pitch that barely had any in the first place, and bedded in to make his first hundred since the 2011 World Cup. It came off his 98th delivery and the celebrations made it clear how much the innings meant to him. He looked skyward, with his hands aloft. Then the bat handle thumped into his chest and he may even have become misty-eyed. At 35 years, having spent three years nowhere near the ODI team, wondering what would become of his career, coming back with his highest score had to be sweet.
There was no place for such emotion with Dhoni. He was what the situation made him. When he came in at the fall of Shikhar Dhawan's wicket in the fifth over, he blocked 14 straight deliveries from Chris Woakes, who was the sole reason India were 25 for 3. The next time those two faced each other, the ball was muscled over the midwicket boundary. Dhoni finished on 134 off 122 balls - having been 6 off 22 once - and became the first Indian to hit 200 sixes in ODIs. The shot that took him there - eerily similar to the one that won India the World Cup in 2011 - hit the top tier behind long-on. There was another reminder of that night in Mumbai; the final was the last time Yuvraj and Dhoni had put on 50 runs or more together.
But the clear-headed England that made all the early breakthroughs happen by bowling full and keeping a tight line on off stump fell into a trap. They bowled too short at Yuvraj, who eventually realised there was nothing in the pitch to make him fear such a line of attack. It is true that extreme pace has unsettled him regardless of conditions but he didn't have to face any on Thursday. A one-bounce pull for four got him going, drives through mid-off and cover showcased his timing and a pristine punch down the ground told the crowd they were in for something special. With Dhoni concentrating on staying at the crease to such a point that he barely even thought about runs early in his innings, and a severe lack of wickets, the middle overs became party time.
India hammered 94 runs in the 10 overs between the 30th and the 40th and finished with 73 off the last five. Also responsible for the late flourish were Kedar Jadhav, who belted three fours and a six in 10 balls, Hardik Pandya ,who began his innings with a four and six, and Jadeja, who helped take 14 runs off the final over.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, playing his first ODI in a year, produced a match-winning five-over second spell that yielded just 39 runs to help India edge out England by 15 runs in the second ODI in Cuttack on Thursday.
Consecutive bilateral ODI series wins for India at home against England. The visitors' only series win here was in 1984-85.
Runs scored in this match - the second-most in any ODI in India. The highest is 825 runs between hosts and Sri Lanka in Rajkot in 2009-10.
Runs needed by England in the last 10 overs to win the game. India had made 120 runs in their final 10 overs of the innings.
England's score at the end of 25th over, 30 more than what India had made at the same point.
Previous highest score for Yuvraj in ODIs, which was made at SCG in 2003-04. He has gone past that figure in this match.
Last time Yuvraj scored an ODI century, vs WI in the 2011 World Cup. In 16 inns since 2011 WC, he averaged only 18.32 in 17 inns with only 2 fifties before this knock.
Yuvraj's average against England in ODIs, before this match - his best among the full-member opponents. He has scored a fifty today.
No. of bowlers to take 3 wkts in the first 5 overs of the innings vs India since 2001 - Shane Bond in Bulawayo in 2005 and Chris Woakes in this match.
Last time India lost 3 wickets in first 5 overs of an ODI, before this - against Sri Lanka in Dhaka. Last sinch instance at home was in 2007 against Australia.
Runs scored by Dhawan in India's last ODI in Cuttack, against SL in November 2014.


Texas Center for Legal Ethics - And You Thought Lawyers Were Expensive . . . .
And You Thought Lawyers Were Expensive . . . .
At first glance, a threatened lawsuit against The Cheesecake Factory restaurant in Massachusetts sounds like it could be yet another the-sky-is-falling example of lawsuit abuse from those who are – shall we say – not big fans of the legal system. But like most of these headlines, a closer look at the facts reveals our legal system is working like it is supposed to.
Newton, Mass.-based attorney Ross Mitchell notified the popular restaurant chain of his intentions to sue under the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act after a friend was charged $11 for a margarita without being told about the rather exorbitant price beforehand. Apparently, this slight-of-hand is part of a new trend in the restaurant industry to conceal the price of a drink or meal until the bill arrives, after the meal/drink has been consumed.
Armed with the UCC and Massachusetts law, Mitchell was able to convince The Cheesecake Factory to post drink prices on its menus statewide. Except for the cost of reprinting a few menus, it's hard to imagine how this could have worked out any better: Consumers were being deceived. A concerned lawyer sought compliance based on existing laws. No lawsuit was filed. No huge legal bills incurred. Fairness was restored. The law is now being obeyed.
So, next time you hear about how attorneys drive up the cost of goods, think of lawyers like Ross Mitchell and maybe drink a toast to him with a margarita that costs considerably less than $11.

Distribution of azithromycin by community health volunteers in Ghana
Anthony W Solomon MBBS DTM&H
Research Fellow, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Keppel Street, London, WC1E 7HT, UK
In June and July of this year, an operational study to test the feasibility of using community health volunteers (CHVs) to distribute azithromycin was undertaken in the Daboya subdistrict of Ghana's Northern Region. The objectives of the study were as follows:
To test the ability and accuracy of community health volunteers (CHVs) in diagnosing active trachoma.
To test the ability of CHVs to give the correct dose of azithromycin by weight to children and adults.
To test the ability of CHVs to keep records of tablets received and distributed.
To test the ability of CHVs to warn patients about possible adverse reactions, recognise them when they occur and take appropriate action if required.
To test the feasibility of using azithromycin tablets in pre-school children.
To document the response of each household to all occupants being offered azithromycin.
To examine the relationship between height and weight in individuals requiring azithromycin for trachoma control.
The six volunteers, who have previously been involved in the Guinea Worm and Onchocerciasis Control Programmes as well as the distribution of ocular tetracycline for trachoma control, were given four days of revision on trachoma, and training in the use of azithromycin. Education sessions included theory, practical sessions teaching eye examination skills and the techniques for weighing and measuring, dose calculation and drug preparation. The CHVs then examined a total of 675 individuals in ninety households in local villages, looking for evidence of trachoma. They were accompanied by supervisors who independently examined all subjects, and intervened in treatment only when mistakes were about to be made. Azithromycin (a single dose of approximately 20mg/kg) was given to all individuals in any household in which there was at least one case of active trachoma.
Peer review formed part of the training programme. © Anthony Solomon

The volunteers performed creditably. The decision to treat or not treat each household was correct on more than four out of every five occasions. The dosing reliability and drug management skills of CHVs were generally good. Community response was very positive, refusal of examination or treatment rare, and adverse reactions infrequent.
Both 250mg tablets and suspension 200mg/5mL were available. Nearly all those 4 years of age and older were able to take tablets. Height and weight data was recorded for all individuals in treatable households, and the correlation between the two suggests that height could be used instead of weight for dose determination for those people able to take tablets. Given the practical difficulties involved with using weighing scales in remote settings, this finding could be of great potential benefit. Unfortunately, using height or length to predict dose for children requiring suspension was less reliable.
The major problems encountered in the study were weighing procedures, the use of azithromycin suspension, and volunteers' record keeping.
The conclusion of the study, both volunteers and supervisors felt that a longer training period would have been of benefit. It is suggested that future education efforts would place more emphasis on the diagnosis of TF and TI at the expense of time spent learning about TS and CO. Additionally, more teaching time should be devoted to drug side-effects and record keeping skills.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- Governor Laura Kelly is moving money back into Kansas transportation.
Kelly announced a plan to invest $160 million by reducing transfers from the State Highway Fund.
The Governor's budget increases highway preservation by $50 million.
It also provides $5 million for local bridge improvements and $10 million for improving safety.
Plus, it drives forward four delayed projects including expanding Highway 50 in Lyon County.
Kelly and KDOT praised the work of the bipartisan task force that developed the plan.
Both said our state's infrastructure is far behind others.
"We have been kind of in a budget deficit situation and taking care of our roads in the last six to eight years just due to our budget situation," said Sen. Carolyn McGinn (R-Sedgwick). "I feel like this is kind of a new day that we're going to start moving forward on looking at those projects that we didn't finish at t-works."
Since 2011, more than $2 billion have been transferred out of the State Highway Fund.


(you can't meet a test method – they have no pass fail criteria). This shield is clear with UV blocking and could be a fine shield for non-arc-flash work, but it does not meet an applicable arc flash standard or provide a protection level based on all the reported data on the site.
EN 166:2001 is an old face shield standard that stated that all you needed in arc flash was to keep the shield from melting, so a certain thickness of polycarbonate was all that was required. To claim that because one polycarbonate shield was tested using IEC 61482-1-2 that you therefore meet that standard is not true. We encourage this company to test and and see if they comply.
Our IEC committee under TC-78 is actually working on a version of IEC 61482-1-2 for face shields, but the original statement in EN 166:2001 is not acceptable to any notified bodies I know of in Europe, and they typically use the new set up to actually give a rating to a shield, and this clear polycarb would not meet that test set up. Always be careful. Ask for the data. Use ASTM F2178 until the IEC equivalent is released. This site has no data for arc flash.
Clear shield claiming to be for arc flash – don't trust without the data.

Q: Configure Port Forwarding / Virtual Server Routing in Fiber to Home modems Recently BSNL has launched Fiber To The Home (FTTH) Optic Fiber Based Broadband service. Since professional class optic fiber Modem unit is costly, they provide basic modem through which end user can access broadband / voip / IPTv only.
Before that I was using traditional Copper wire ADSL Modems, that was equipped with all professional class features like Port Forwarding, Virtual Server, URL forwarding, Wi-Fi etc.
Can any one guide me how to configure Port Forwarding / Virtual Server configuration in FTTH setup?
The FTTH devices used are:

*

*Terracom fiberhome AN5006-04

*Huawaei EchoLife HG850a

A: I also had same problem with me so I contacted Huawei support team. Huawei support team confirmed me that HG850a Doesn't support port forwarding.

A: After a lot of research following setup worked:

*

*Connect Optic Fiber cable to FTTH Modem, reset FTTH Modem to factory setting OR delete all configuration parameters so that it's configuration matches with factory setting, now configure it in bridge mode only. Please don't put user id & passwords etc.

*Connect any common Router (Wi-Fi can also be used depending on need), with FTTH Modem. Please ensure that IP Address series should be same for both devices. Generally FTTH Modems comes with IP Address 192.168.100.1 and Routers have 192.168.1.1. Please don't use ADSL Modems / Routers.

*Configure router in bridge mode with dialer values i.e. login id, password, static ip, gateway etc. in Router

*Configure port forwarding / virtual server as per the need.
Everything configured, now enjoy fiber optic high speed flawless internet service.
Cheers!!!

Body painting is not something I have ever been particularly fond of. However, when it is done properly and I mean REALLY properly it can conjure up extremely provocative results. Peruvian photographer Cecilia Paredes has clearly collaborated with a master of this art for her collection of self portraits.
Incredible make-up work don't you think?

Q: Drupal 7 Create Content -> Page viewable by admin only I'm trying to create a page on my Drupal 7 website for admins only. It's a reporting page. I do NOT want non-admins to be able to access this page whatsoever. I installed the simpleaccess module and have had no luck with it -- I can't figure out how to set permissions for admins only. I DO have an admin role on my website and some users are assigned to it. I'm up for any options (other modules or the simplest, cleanest solution). Any ideas?

A: in your current template.php
add

    function bartik_preprocess_node(&$variables) {
      if($variables['nid'] == nid){
        global $user;
        if (!in_array('administrator', $user->roles)) {
          drupal_access_denied();
        }
      }
    }

Replace nid with your page nid.

Interview with Nicholas Snow, author of Malayan Enigma
Title: Malayan Enigma: An Andrew Bond WWII Adventure
Author: Nicholas Snow
Publisher: AuthorHouse UK
Genre: Military/History
Malaya, 1941 – a fool's haven from the devastating war raging elsewhere in the world Sent to Singapore towards the end of 1941 to evaluate the intentions of the Japanese Empire, Lieutenant Andrew Bond finds himself embroiled in a series of events accelerating towards all-out war in the region. The city, a heady, exotic blend of cultures teeming with intrigue, is oblivious to what lies ahead. Facing betrayal, incompetence, Japanese spies, and the Yakuza underworld, Bond manages to gather a band of trustworthy companions, including the striking beauty Liu-Yang. In a desperate race against time, he must force his way through enemy-infested jungles and seas to bring home a device that will help change the course of the war – the Malayan Enigma!
Could you please tell us a little about your book?
It is a spy thriller and historical novel set in Malaya (malaisia) and Singapore during WWII, November 1941 to February 1942. The Japanese are preparing to invade and the British Secret Service sents its best agent, Andrew Bond, to investigate their questions. He is caught in the war and has to try to escape from beleaguered Singapore bringing with him a Japanese encoding machine that may change the course of the war in the Far East. He has to fight in the jungle and the sea the Japanese and the criminal organization jacuza with some unexpected allies: one Italian and two British soldiers, the Anglochinese beauty Lou Yiang and some Chinese from the underground of Singapore. Although a work of fiction , it is based on facts and I respect the real historical events. Also, I try to give the carefree atmosphere of pre war Singapore, a city of entertainment and luxury. Almost a fool's paradise.
Who or what is the inspiration behind this book?
Reading history and especially WWII history and having visited the region in order to get the Feeling of the place. Today's Singapore has changed a lot from wartime although some landmarks like Rufles hotel and some fortifications remain. Parts of the jungle of central Malaisia seems to be the same untamed , dark and forbidding.
What cause are you most passionate about and why?
As a university professor and as a citizen, democracy and freedom. Those who fought against the Nazi's and the Japanese in WWII were fighting for democracy, freedom and man's dignity. To a lesser extent, happily, the fight never ends.
Do you have any rituals you follow when you finish a piece of work?
Not after I finish, but during writing. I write novels in a country house on the Aegean Greek island of Spetsai, a small island where cars are not allowed with a long history, small lovely beaches, old mansion houses and a lot of forest. A very inspiring place to rite 3 hours every day before the usual distractions, even the pleasant ones like swimming or walking with my fire dogs!
Who has influenced you throughout your writing career?
Many writers but mostly my father, Kostas Kyriazis, Greece's most well known writer for historical novels for the byzantine empire and my mother Artemis who teached me from a tender age to love nature, to feel, and to never say "I can't"!
What are some of your long term goals?
I plan to write a whole series of WWII spy novels with the same basic characters, Andrew Bond and sir Stuart Menzies (the real chief of British Secret Service during WWII) covering many aspects of the war, based on true facts. There are so many amazing stories that need only little embellishment to become fascinating spy thrillers!

Inside Washington: Did RFS lose clout in Iowa?
Presidential candidates increased their understanding of ethanol and its importance to rural America.
The biofuel industry went all-out in touting the benefits of the renewable fuel standard (RFS) to presidential candidates ahead of their caucuses Feb. 1 in Iowa. The verdict is still out on whether ethanol's clout has dissipated as the Republican leader, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, wants to phase out the RFS.
Iowa, one of the nation's leading corn-producing states, has been at the center of the corn-based ethanol debate, with pro-ethanol groups spending millions of dollars to try to persuade voters to support the use of corn for fuel.
Monte Shaw, executive director of the Iowa Renewable Fuels Assn., said a year ago, when the biofuel industry began the task of educating candidates on the importance of ethanol to the state of Iowa, only two Republicans running had widely supported ethanol. On Election Day, nine out of 11 Republicans ended up receiving a passing grade. Even Cruz went from calling for the immediate repeal of the RFS to calling for the elimination of the blend wall and to end all oil and tax subsidies.
Tewes said never before has ethanol been more talked about. "This year put ethanol on the map, where candidates had to talk about (ethanol)." The end result was candidates either being completely in favor of ethanol or, if they weren't, moving toward it.
In the final weeks of the campaign, Dave Vander Griend, president of ICM, which engineered and constructed more than half of the ethanol plants in Iowa and a major leader in the country, was able to spend some time educating Cruz, especially on many of the topics that were limiting the ethanol industry's ability to grow. And soon that wisdom instilled in Cruz by Vander Griend became part of Cruz's stump speeches around the state.

Invisible Sun
A roleplaying game of surrealistic fantasy, secrets, and magic played both at the table—and away from it.
Miss the Kickstarter?
Rewards Campaign FAQ 6 Updates 103 Comments 4,266 Community
What do you mean by "adult" game?
Because we also have a game aimed at families and kids (No Thank You, Evil!), it would be irresponsible of us not to make it clear that Invisible Sun is a different sort of game. It has deeper, mature themes and is more intricate in its involvement. It won't shy away from topics like death, violence, regret, loss, and yes, even (tastefully) sex. If you've got kids for whom No Thank You, Evil! would be appropriate, then Invisible Sun is not for them.
Last updated: Mon, Aug 15 2016 2:06 pm EDT
Why is the game so expensive?
It's a deluxe game with a lot of components—4 books, hundreds of cards, a board, a resin sculpture, a medallion, and more. Like all MCG products, it will be jammed-packed with gorgeous art and mind-blowing content. http://invisiblesunrpg.com/corona/allthecomponents/
Why doesn't Invisible Sun use the Cypher System?
The Cypher System debuted with Numenera, and even then we knew it was applicable to many settings. For Invisible Sun, we created a system that was intricately interwoven to the setting, which required new mechanics. The gameplay of Invisible Sun demanded a unique approach. However, if you like the Cypher System, Invisible Sun has many of the same sensibilities. And of course, we love Cypher too, and will continue to support it.
Why isn't there a PDF version of the game?
Unlike other products, a big part of this game goes well beyond what you can put in a PDF—all the components and secrets in the game are physical. However, the game does come with a PDF of important setting and rules information for easy electronic searches (this PDF is not intended for an initial read-through, but rather to be used as a handy reference tool).
Also, it's worth noting that the Developmental Mode is designed so that it requires nothing but the app (or the Sooth Deck). The rest of the game is designed around the other cool components to help convey the difference between the modes. So play at the table revolves around the components—the cards, the Testament of Suns, the Path of Suns, the tokens, and so on. They aren't "extraneous" in the Action or Narrative Modes.
Do you have a list of suggested reading materials?
Promethea by Alan Moore. The Invisibles and Doom Patrol by Grant Morrison. Anything by Phillip K. Dick. The Matrix. Anything by Robert Anton Wilson. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Hellboy and related graphic novels by Mike Mignola. Doctor Strange. The art of Vladamir Kush. The music of David Bowie, Swans, and Apse.
What's a Keyfall? What's up with the "with a Key" levels?
All vislae know that sometimes amid the rain, valuable keys fall from the clouds. During these keyfalls, wise vislae collect special, mystical keys. If you back at one of the limited "key" levels, you'll get—in addition to all the other stuff—a set of nine metal keys that you can use as useful Wicked Key tokens in the game. If you're already a backer, simply adjust your reward to the key reward of the same value (if you cancel and then repledge, it will change which sun secret you get). Master the Black Cube and Merge with the Black Cube backers automatically get a set of keys. When a keyfall happens, it lasts until the key backer levels are full. Then it is over until the next keyfall. When will that be? You'll have to pay attention to learn that...

A Simplified History of Traditional Theatres in the Philippines (Part 3)
At the height of the localization of the komedya, Dario Cepedes came to Manila in 1878 bringing with him the zarzuela, a Hispanic musical performance following domestic or ordinary people's stories. The origin of this performance form is vague. However, the recognized origin is Isagani Cruz's narration that the zarzuela started in Spain as sainete or an intermission performance in a comedia. Like the komedya the…

San Sebastian Minor Basilica in the Philippines: Politics of Space and Heritage (Part 2 of 2)
In the first part of this post, heritage was argued to have become an important aspect of the tourism industry. It was used as a brand – an industry marker. In fact, the day me and my colleagues visited San Sebastian, there were also domestic tourists who were amazed by the grandiosity of the complex. As stated…
In my almost two decades of being a resident of Metropolitan Manila, I confess I have not yet fully explored the city. One of the places that I have always wanted to explore was Quiapo and the University Belt where the majestic San Sebastian Minor Basilica (or most popularly known as San Sebastian Church) is…

Pampanga Colonial Churches; Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassical (Part 1 of 2)
I am Kapampangan and I am proud of my heritage. Most of the time, many Filipinos associate Kapampangan heritage with food.

This is also the reason why Pampanga is commonly associated as…

Braun was taking part in a holiday food drive at Miller Park and said he was "deeply remorseful" for his actions but declined to offer specific answers to most questions. "The goal for me is just being able to move forward," Braun said. "I wish that I could go back and change things but I dont have that opportunity to do that, so Im just going to do everything in my power to move forward." Braun was the first star to be suspended as part of the doping scandal surrounding the now-closed Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic in Florida. The five-time All-Star tested positive for elevated testosterone in October of his 2011 NL MVP season, but his 50-game suspension was overturned when an arbitrator ruled the urine sample was mishandled. All along, Braun maintained his innocence and heavy criticism fell on the urine sample collector, Dino Laurenzi Jr. Braun said he reached out to Laurenzi and the two are moving forward. "I have not made any payments to him," Braun said. "Ive had some really productive and positive conversations with him. The Laurenzi family was actually gracious and kind enough to have my fiancee Larisa and I over to their house for dinner last night, and we had some really good conversation. Weve made amends and I think were both excited to be able to move forward and put this behind us." Braun had earlier called baseballs joint drug agreement, calling it "fatally flawed" and suggesting players are "100 per cent guilty until proven innocent." "We won because the truth is on my side," he said at the time. "I wish that I hadnt done the press conference," Braun said Wednesday. "It was a big mistake. I deeply regret having done it, and a lot of the things that I said that day." Braun has returned to Miller Park on a few occasions, personally called some Brewers season ticket holders and met with a local charity. Until Wednesday, he had not taken questions about the scandal. "Because it was an ongoiing investigation I wasnt allowed to say very much at that time," Braun said. Cheap NBA Jerseys. "Basically based on what I had learned from both Major League Baseball and the players association, it wasnt in anybodys best interest for me to make any statements at that time. It wasnt about waiting or anything like that. Ive been here a few times but I think this is the first time that everybodys been aware that Im here." In seven seasons, Braun established himself as one of the games brightest young stars and appeared in five consecutive All-Star games from 2008-12. He also became the face of the small-market Milwaukee franchise, earning a seven-year, $105 million contract extension that keeps him with the Brewers through the 2020 season. Owner Mark Attanasio said at one point that Braun would someday have a statue outside of Miller Park. When Braun was suspended, Attanasio expressed his disappointment but vowed that the organization would stand behind the player. Since the suspension, there has been speculation that the Brewers might trade Braun, including a report last week that the Mets were exploring a possible deal. Braun made it clear that he hopes to remain in Milwaukee. "Absolutely I want to stay here," Braun said. "I made the long-term commitment because the city has been amazing to me, the fans have been amazing to me, the organization has been incredibly supportive of me, and I fully intend to stay here. Its flattering that people would be interested. I actually had dinner with (general manager) Doug Melvin, (Brewers manager) Ron (Roenicke) and Mark Attanasio this week. Ive seen Mark a lot, and I dont think theres any truth to those rumours. My goal and attention is to say here." As for repairing relationships, Braun said he has sent commissioner Bud Selig a letter. He didnt get into specifics about his relationship with injured Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers, who expressed disappointment after Braun admitted to doping. "Im not going to get into our specific relationship other than to say that he had been a great friend of mine for a long time," he said. "Hes a great person, and I hope he gets back on the field soon so he can help those guys win." ' ' '

What is context? Context is viewed as the missing element in reporting today and something that the audience not only needs, but according to this group of thinkers, wants. We can argue about that all day, but the subject is compelling and thought‐provoking, and it deserves our attention. Context is what, the discussion concludes, reporters tend to take for granted when they're writing, because they assume that their audience — whether print or broadcast — already knows the background information necessary to fully understand the latest development in an ongoing story.
I first became interested in this problem after listening to The Giant Pool of Money, the awesomely effective one‐hour This American Life episode that finally explained to me what the mortgage banking crisis was, how it happened and why it implicated… well, just about everyone. I was grateful, because up to that moment I had absorbed many hundreds of reports about "sub prime lenders in trouble" but had not understood a single one of them.
It wasn't that these reports were uninformative. Rather, I was not informable because I lacked the necessary background knowledge to grasp what was being sent to me as news. On the other hand there was no easy way for me to get that background and make myself informable because the way our news system works, it's like the updates to the program arrive whether you have the program installed or not! Which is rather messed up. But what do we do about it?
Matt Thompson writes that if you're like most people, you have a certain amount of ambient knowledge that health‐care reform is happening.
You pay attention to headlines, and you see a lot of stories about Nancy Pelosi saying this, or Mitch McConnell saying that. You catch a line or two about it in a Presidential address. You've watched some headlines about it in the evening news.
Chances are that most of the information you've encountered about this subject has been what I'd call episodic. Over time, you may have heard a lot about budget reconciliation, insurance premium hikes, the public option, the excise tax, the Wyden‐Bennett bill, the Stupak amendment, and on and on and on. You know that Democrats are trying to do something to the health care system, but it's either a government takeover or an insurance industry giveaway. Hard to tell.
This constant torrent of episodic information is how many of us encounter information about current events. This has been true for as long as any of us has been alive, but in the wake of the real‐time Web, it's become ever more constant and ever more torrential.
These thinkers are trying to come up with ways to create permanent storage vaults of "context" to which writers can link or otherwise draw from in order to better inform people about the nuances and intricacies of big or small issues. Of course, this is fraught with problems, because whose perspective (subjectivity) will be presented as "the truth" in complex matters such as this. As I told Jay, "context runs aground on the shoals of absolute truth," but that's a topic for another day.
There is also the discussion as to whether today's journalists are even capable of providing context, but that, too, is another discussion entirely.
The reality is that there is an opportunity here for your most experienced people to write documents — hopefully filled with supporting links — that offer your audience context on matters of importance to your community. If subjective analysis is the best we can do, let us be the "subject" and not the guy across the street. It's a great opportunity to showcase experience and serve the needs of your audience at the same time.
This is a subject I'll be watching in the months ahead.
