ORLANDO, Fla. – Trucking groups in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, came together to produce a joint statement on the importance of NAFTA.
The Canadian Trucking Alliance was joined by the American Trucking Associations (ATA) and the Cámara Nacional del Autotransporte de Carga (CANACAR) to voice their joint opinion on the trade agreement, which is currently being renegotiated.
In the joint statement, the national trucking associations explain how all three countries have enjoyed significant economic benefits from NAFTA. The groups urged negotiators to modernize the agreement to further enhance the efficient movement of goods across each border and keep pace with technological trade.
"CTA looks forward to working with ATA and CANACAR in consultations with each of our governments to help achieve a modernized agreement that works for all three countries moving forward," added Lak Shoan, director of policy and industry awareness programs.

DJ Envy says Angela Yee leaving Breakfast Club is like 'losing a sister'
'Breakfast Club' co-host Angela Yee leaving radio show to go solo
Charlamagne Tha God gained a deeper understanding of his childhood trauma while watching Tyler Perry speak about his own on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" years ago.
"I watched him crying and I remember saying to myself, 'Well, you know, what's wrong with him?'" the radio host, 43, recalled on "Daily Blast Live" Monday. "Because I think the way that men process sexual assault is different."
The talk show host said he previously didn't "look at it as sexual assault," but rather as "I was 8 getting it popping with an older woman."
In 2010, Perry told Winfrey, 67, about how he was molested starting at the age of 5 by several males throughout his life.
The director also revealed how the mom of one of his friends once seduced him when he was only 10 years old and she was his first sexual experience with a woman.
Similarly, Charlamagne previously shared that at 8 years old, he was molested by his cousin's ex-wife.
Charlamagne Tha God said Tyler Perry helped him better understand his own childhood traumas.
MTV Entertainment; Filmmagic
The "Breakfast Club" host told "Daily Blast Live" that he used to think young males having sexual experiences with older women was normal.
"I literally remember me and my guys at that age having conversations of being with older women back then," he said. "None of us processed it as sexual assault."
Charlamagne said it wasn't until he was in his late 30s that he really grasped what had happened to him at a young age.
Charlamagne Tha God's new show, "Tha God Honest Truth," is executive produced by Stephen Colbert.

"Then, I just understood it more because you don't know what that did to you," he concluded.
Since dealing with his traumas in therapy, Charlamagne has written a book called "Shook One: Anxiety Playing Tricks on Me" that seeks to normalize mental health issues.
He also openly talks about his experiences on his new Comedy Central talk show, "Tha God Honest Truth," which airs Friday at 10 p.m. ET.

Q: BeautifulSoup find_all() Doesn't Find All Requested Elements I am seeing some strange behavior with BeautifulSoup as demonstrated in the example below.
import re
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = """
This has a color of red. Because it likes the color red

This paragraph has a color of blue.

This paragraph does not have a color.
"""
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
pattern = re.compile('color', flags=re.UNICODE+re.IGNORECASE)
paras = soup.find_all('p', string=pattern)
print(len(paras)) # expected to find 3 paragraphs with word "color" in it
  2
print(paras[0].prettify())

    This paragraph as a color of blue.

print(paras[1].prettify())

    This paragraph does not have a color.

As you can see for some reason the first paragraph of
This has a color of red. Because it likes the color red
 is not being picked up by find_all(...) and I cannot figure out why not.

A: The string property expects the tag to contain only text and not tags. If you try printing .string for the first p tag, it'll return None, since, it has tags in it.
Or, to explain it better, the documentation says:

If a tag has only one child, and that child is a NavigableString, the child is made available as .string
If a tag contains more than one thing, then it's not clear what .string should refer to, so .string is defined to be None

The way to overcome this, is to use a lambda function.
html = """
This has a color of red. Because it likes the color red

This paragraph has a color of blue.

This paragraph does not have a color.
"""
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')

first_p = soup.find('p')
print(first_p)
#
This has a color of red. Because it likes the color red

print(first_p.string)
# None
print(first_p.text)
# This has a color of red. Because it likes the color red

paras = soup.find_all(lambda tag: tag.name == 'p' and 'color' in tag.text.lower())
print(paras)
# [
This has a color of red. Because it likes the color red
,
This paragraph has a color of blue.
,
This paragraph does not have a color.
]

A: If you want to grap the 'p' you can just do:
import re
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = """
This has a color of red. Because it likes the color red

This paragraph has a color of blue.

This paragraph does not have a color.
"""
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')

paras = soup.find_all('p')
for p in paras:
  print (p.get_text())

A: I haven't actually figured out why specifying the string (or text for older versions of BeautifulSoup) parameter of find_all(...) doesn't give me what I want but, the following does give me a generalized solution.
pattern = re.compile('color', flags=re.UNICODE+re.IGNORECASE)
desired_tags = [tag for tag in soup.find_all('p') if pattern.search(tag.text) is not None]

"Providing people in prison with computers in their cells would radically improve the outcome for prisoners" said CJC President, the Hon John Dowd AO QC at the launch of the Computers in Cells campaign. "It would enable delivery of domestic violence and de-radicalisation counselling, education, and legal aid services safely and efficiently. The ACT government has safely had computers in cells for the last nine years" he continued.
"Despite this significant support, the NSW government has dragged its feet. It has publicly rejected the need for these services saying 'mental health staff in counselling is the only means of intervention.' It also said it 'does not have the infrastructure to support online counselling at all its correctional centres.' Why is it finding reasons not to implement a program of computers in cells instead of developing one?" asked Mr Dowd.
"The NSW government needs to allocate funds from the $3.8 billion prison-building program to these essential services. Costs are estimated at approximately $230,000 to install the computer server infrastructure, and $120,000 per year thereafter for a 600 cell prison such as Nowra" said Mr Dowd.


The Ohio State football team is in California for a business trip, but just like any good work trip, they found a little time for fun, too.
The team held its first practice in L.A. Thursday morning at the home of the Chargers.
It was the team's first workout together since December 20, and Urban Meyer told reporters that there were too many dropped passes.
That's not unexpected after a layoff, a Christmas break, and a cross-country flight.
Meyer added that he expected things to look better on Friday as the Buckeyes continued their preparations for the Rose Bowl.
Parts of their upcoming practices will be open to the media, so expect a more detailed report later in the week.
For now, though, you can see some clips from that initial practice below.
After work ended for the day, the Buckeyes continued their California adventure at Disneyland.
It's a traditional "welcome" event hosted by the Rose Bowl committee for both teams.
Washington and OSU players both spent the afternoon having fun at the park in Anaheim.
The Bucks, including head coach Urban Meyer, rode the Incredicoaster, among other rides.
Unsurprisingly, Meyer rode next to senior wide receiver Parris Campbell, one of the players who he is closest to on this year's team.
Somewhat surprising, Meyer seemed to genuinely enjoy it.
Safety Jordan Fuller has no problem crushing guys in run support, but roller coasters are another matter.
I hope Mr. Arnette did not run into Ric Flair. Creepy.
A classic Nature Boy line that is seldom referenced. Well done.


Also, sometime in early 2019 cyclists will be able to bike along a new trail built in the nearby Arrowhead Park.
Commissioner Joe Allen, who represents the western Bibb County district that extends through Lizella, says this part of county has lagged behind with recreation improvements.
One of his priorities when he rejoined the commission in 2017 was to bring it up to par. Tens of millions of SPLOST dollars have been spent in recent years on other recreational projects in Macon.
"We just want to make sure that we have something nice for folks that live in this area," Allen said.
In Allen's neighboring west Macon district is also the location of Filmore Thomas Park, which opened in 2016 on Log Cabin Drive.
Allen and fellow Commissioner Elaine Lucas spent Thursday afternoon at West Macon Park discussing how it got started in 1983.
Longtime former Macon City Councilman and County Commissioner Ed DeFore spearheaded the effort to get the park built and create the West Macon Little League that's used the ball fields since the park's inception, Allen said.
The ballfield improvements will benefit the Little League as well as other Maconites who visit the park located near Mercer University Drive, Allen said.
He's also pushing for later installing a walking trail and for the paving of a path leading to the field used by special needs children.
Friday morning's 10 a.m. groundbreaking is a chance for people like DeFore, past and present Little League players, parents and volunteers to celebrate what's ahead for the park, he said.
There was some special sales tax revenue leftover for the $560,000 project, but contributions from Lucas and Commissioner Scotty Shepherd's blight bond funds were instrumental, Allen said.
Lucas says that West Macon Park is an example of how commissioners are coming together to improve the recreational opportunities throughout the county.
"There are a lot of areas in our community that have been neglected over a long period of time and it's truly time for us to say that we're operating as one," she said.

Jam of the Day | Gorillaz (feat. Daley) - Doncamatic (All Played Out)
Blur frontman Damon Albarn has proven, time and again, that he can craft some pretty darn catchy tunes. Albarn established and honed his songwriting endowment with Blur, and has continued to cultivate it with his wildly popular project, Gorillaz (not to mention The Good, The Bad, and The Queen). Gorillaz cranked out a banger of a concept record, the group's third LP, with 2010's Plastic Beach.
Albarn and Co. have now chased Plastic Beach with a new single entitled "Doncamatic" that features vocals from Brit singer Daley. The single is pop music pure and simple, with a sleek beat and an infectious hook. Daley's impressive voice melds effortlessly with Albarn's skilled composition and backing vocals.
Dance your turkey and pumpkin pie off with the studio EP version of "Doncamatic." Buy it on iTunes. Watch the official vid below.
OR, if you're still in a tryptophan-induced coma, here is a delightfully chill in-studio version from BBC Radio 1.
AND, just for fun (or if you can't get enough of Daley's hair), here is "Doncamatic" performed live in, of all places, Phoenix, Arizona.

Speech Therapist (also known as Speech Language Pathologist, Speech Pathologist or SLP) is a skilled health professionals specialized in assessment, diagnosis and treatment of people with difficulty in speaking, swallowing or communicating. They work with people who have cognitive impairments, such as memory, attention or problem solving deficits.
Speech therapist work in a variety of different settings. Many are employed in elementary or secondary schools, working with children and adolescents who have difficulty with speech rhythm or fluency. Speech therapists may also work in hospitals or in rehabilitation centers where they treat patients of all ages with speech, communication or cognitive problems. A small number of them work in private practice and home care.
Generally, speech therapist work with each patient individually in a closed environment, such as an office. Depending on the tolerance of their client, treatment session may vary in length.
The work schedule for speech therapist tends to be one following regular business hours. As speech-language pathology does not tend to have a need in emergency situations, on call time is rare, as is scheduling outside of regular hours; in this manner, it holds more stable expectations than most other aspects of the health care industry.
The average annual speech therapist salary is $72,730. Lowest 10% of this occupation makes less than $44,380 and the top 10% makes over $107,650.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of speech therapists is expected to grow at a rate of 19%, or 26,000 jobs by year 2022. Increased awareness of speech and language disorders in young children is projected to lead to an increased need for SLPs. At the same time, aging baby boomers are resulting in more people with health conditions that cause speech or swallowing impairments, such as strokes.
The salary of a speech therapist is dependent primarily on industry-specific aspects of the position, as well as experience. The metropolitan location in which they work has a significant influence as well, offering differences of more than $50,000. These professionals can make an average of $72,730.
As most speech therapists have a similar education, this is not a defining factor in salary, nor is specialization; most speech therapists tend to work with a wide variety of speech problems, and the field does not have specific specializations beyond age-related comfort of the therapist themselves. Some therapists prefer to work with children, and will find schools a better fit than a hospital.
A speech therapists requires a master's degree in speech pathology, followed by certification and licensing as a speech therapist. This is true in almost every jurisdiction, so educational differences have little bearing on speech therapist salary.
While there is little specialization in the education of a speech therapist, the area in which he or she works does have a strong influence on their salary. A speech therapist working in the public school system will earn an average of $66,440, somewhat below the average, whereas a speech therapist salary in a general hospital is $75,700, just above the average. While this isn't attributable to a specific specialization, the choice of people with whom the therapist wishes to work is a particular factor.
Like all fields, experience is a factor in determining salary. However, with the differences made in geographic location and industry specifics, it is not a primary factor. General experience, and time in a particular position, will offer similar wage increases as other positions.
There are some managerial positions for speech therapists, however improvements in position are a minor factor for salary considerations.
With a large number of potential industries in which a speech therapist can work, this is one of the factors more strongly influencing salary. As mentioned, schools will come in under the average, while general hospitals slightly improve on it. Child day care positions show a great increase, offering an average salary of $87,370. Home health care services improve upon this, showing an average salary of $91,220. However, the highest paying side of the industry is in other ambulatory health care services, with a mean wage of $105,800, or around $30,000 above the average.
The geographic location also has a significant impact on their wage, with the highest paying states offering approximately $10,000 more than the average. District of Columbia wage offerings are the highest, at $86,220, followed by New Jersey at $84,660, and Colorado at $83,780. A more focused look at metropolitan areas, however, reveals even greater gains to be had, with Sherman-Denison, Texas, topping the salary averages at approximately $101,530.


A wonderful addition to any rustic farmhouse decor is this wood pallet frame displaying a photo of a windmill standing alone on the Nebraska prairie. The 5x7 photo is held in place with a bullnose clip on the burlap photo mat. A twine bow adds a bit more rustic charm.
The frame is handcrafted out of reclaimed pallet wood. Each frame may vary slightly in the number and size of boards. The photos are a representation of the finished product. Each frame is unique and there will be some variation in size, color, and texture.

So far, there is no official name for this multiverse, but the Earths known to exist in that multiverse include: The Arrowverse, named after the universe that began with an adaptation of The Green Arrow 's origin story. An event called "the Shrouding" altered the nature of the Transformers multiverse, doing away with the concept of multiversal singularities and greatly strengthening the boundaries between dimensions. Also in Lords and Ladies Ponder Stibbons (a wizard version of a physicist) tries to explain the "many worlds' principle to the Archchancellor (chief Wizard). A creature known as the Entity later begins destroying the worlds of the multiverse, but everything is restored when the Nowhere Gang defeat.

« Notes from aboard the Pineapple Express
I just saw animals going by two by two. . . »
The affair, of course, became a triangle
I suspect my readers are generally pretty smart (especially since I know a lot of you personally), so I'm sure you've already figured out that my slightly sappy reminiscence of yesterday was only part of the story. The kind of thing that warms the cockles of your heart (what a silly expression–the clams in your chest?) but really doesn't convey much information. But since you're such an intelligent bunch, I think you already know that there was a third entity involved in all of this–the farm. It's time to tell you about "the farm."
We live on 100 acres of what might be the most beautiful property I've ever seen. We're in a little valley that runs off the west slope of Mary's Peak, the tallest mountain in Oregon's Coast Range Mountains. At something approaching 4,000 feet tall, Mary's Peak isn't much by western U.S. standards, but it has a wonderful distinctive profile. It looks a lot like a humpback whale rising up, and when it's surrounded by these sort of seafoam-like clouds (as it often is), the resemblance is striking. And it's visible for miles in almost any direction. When I see Mary's Peak, I know I'm almost home.
Ben bought the property in 1969. It was newly logged, so the first thing he did was clean it up and plant it with trees. I don't know how much you know about coastal Oregon, but we're in a sort of subtropical rain forest, and it's nothing for a Douglas fir (which is really a variety of pine, but that's another story) tree to grow six feet when the buds break.
Pause for a weather update: As of 4 p.m. this afternoon (the last time I could see the rain gauge clearly) it had rained 7.5 inches in less than 72 hours. That's more than a tenth of an inch an hour. I rest my case.
The trees he planted then are marketable. Kind of like a long term annuity sort of thing. But they've logged so much around us that it's great to be able to just let them grow.
We set out, about a year after the New Year's Eve dinner, to build a 16×16 tool shed. We now have about 2300 square feet of house and several outbuildings, including the shed we originally set out to build, which of course became much, much larger. The house is much larger than I ever wanted, but when you've acquired 4-5,000 books (I quit counting at 3,500), there's nothing to do but build a room for a library. Someone once commented that we had more books than some small branch libraries. At the rate at which libraries are being de-funded, that's probably a good thing. We may be the only branch library some of our neighbors have in the not too distant future.
But I digress. We built the house about as far from the entrance to the property as you can get and be on reasonably level ground. Most of our property is mountainous and really only suited for growing trees. But we have 5-6 acres between the house and the river that's fairly flat. That's our "golf course," although it also includes an orchard and a 60×100 foot garden that's deer fenced (a necessity here if you want any produce for yourself).
There are 5-6 springs on the property. We've developed two of them, one for the house and one for the garden. The house water is like a little miracle. It comes from somewhere very deep in the earth. The flow doesn't vary much year round. And it's cold and clear and its like drinking fresh air. The garden spring is a little touchier. The trees steal more of its water, so flow in late summer can become an issue.
When we were young and feisty, we did everything by hand. Now we have two Kubota tractors, one with a backhoe and a slightly smaller one that tills the garden, digs postholes, and does other necessary things. We also have a riding lawnmower (for the golf course), an RTV 9000 (think 4-wheeler on steroids and wrapped in mink), a gas-powered golf course maintenance cart acquired second hand–great purchase, runs us around the place with all the necessary tools for about a gallon of gas a month–and assorted cars and trucks.
I'll post some pictures before long, but right now they're all on another computer, and I don't have time to go dig them out. But I'm running out of chatter. If there's something you'd like to know, post a question or shoot me an e-amil, and I'll try to answer.

Henry Cow: The World is a Problem.
520 pp Paperback, 63 illustrations
RELEASE DATE 6 SEPTEMBER. It's here now only because Amazon are doing advance orders already and we'd much prefer you bought it from us.
This is an academically motivated, but for the most part straightforwardly told story that tries painstakingly to piece together what was going on in Henry Cow in respect both of its individual internal relationships, and in the way these intersected with the band's collective negotiations across the interlocking spheres of the world at large (commercial, political, sexual, theoretical, practical &c.) It tracks the band chronologically from its inception to its orderly close, employing a wealth of testimony, interviews, contemporary documentation and private records. All the surviving members of the band co-operated, giving Ben whatever materials they were willing to make public - some more than others, which is why, inevitably, the perspectives of the more generous record-keepers are more prominent. Ben also interviewed everyone he could find who had ever worked or travelled or had significant contact with the band; listened to every bootleg and read every article and interview: the research is extremely thorough. For the rest, Ben has had to interpret, edit and, occasionally, take sides as he tries to fit what he has into a sociological narrative. No one in the band will agree fully with his analysis, but neither would they agree fully with one another's; subjectivities are profoundly complex. For most of the book, Henry Cow's actions and negotiations with the world are well served - it's a very thorough and detailed history. Bit when it comes to their negotiations with one another the narrative necessarily takes the form of a - mostly plausible - attempt by the future, guided by its own biases and interests, to unearth things that were already hidden when they were current: I mean motives, hopes, ambitions, insecurities and all the ties that bind, and undermine. This aspect of the book is uneven because the testimonies are uneven.

Improving the odds of beating opioids
Tracking the Sandman
"Our results suggest that abstinence-focused, 12-step residential treatment may be able to help young adults recover from opioid addiction through a different pathway than the more typical outpatient approach incorporating buprenorphine/naloxone treatment," said John Kelly, the Elizabeth R. Spallin Associate Professor of Psychiatry in Addiction Medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Residential treatment rather than standard outpatient care may be better for the opioid-dependent
By Sue McGreevey Massachusetts General Hospital Public Affairs
Date November 21, 2014
Residential treatment may be an appropriate first-line option for young adults who are dependent on opioid drugs — including prescription painkillers and heroin.
Research indicates that live-in programs may result in higher levels of abstinence than the outpatient treatment that is currently the standard of care.
A study from the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Center for Addiction Services found that a monthlong, 12-step-based residential program with strong linkage to community-based follow-up care enabled almost 30 percent of opioid-dependent participants to remain abstinent a year later. Another recent study found that 83 percent of those who entered an office-based opioid treatment program had dropped out a year later.
"Our results suggest that abstinence-focused, 12-step residential treatment may be able to help young adults recover from opioid addiction through a different pathway than the more typical outpatient approach incorporating buprenorphine/naloxone treatment," said John Kelly of the Center for Addiction Medicine in the MGH Department of Psychiatry. Kelly is the senior author of the study that was published online in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, as well as the Elizabeth R. Spallin Associate Professor of Psychiatry in Addiction Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS).
Corresponding author Zev Schuman-Olivier also noted, "We found that participants who met DSM-IV [Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition] criteria for opioid dependence seemed to do better during residential treatment than did opioid misusers — those who reported some illicit opioid use in the past 90 days but did not meet dependence criteria.
"Interestingly, young adults with intermittent opioid misuse are often encouraged to go into residential treatment if they can afford it or it is covered by insurance, while those with opioid dependence often start with office-based buprenorphine/naloxone treatment," explained Schuman-Olivier, a clinical instructor in psychiatry at HMS. "Our findings indicate that opioid-dependent young adults might benefit from starting out with residential treatment and then linking up with continuing outpatient care after discharge. In contrast, many nondependent opioid misusers may not be ready to benefit fully from the time spent in 12-step residential treatment."
The authors note that the significant increase in opioid misuse among adults ages 18 to 25 led to a 350 percent increase in the numbers admitted to treatment programs from 1998 to 2008, greater than any other age group. Many individuals with opioid dependence (criteria for which include continued use despite substance-related problems, drug tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms) have benefited from outpatient treatment using a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone as an opioid replacement. But another study — led by Schuman-Olivier and published earlier this year in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment — found that outpatient buprenorphine/naloxone treatment was significantly less effective in opioid-dependent young adults than in older adults. Given those discouraging findings, the current study was designed to investigate whether residential treatment would be a viable alternative.
The study enrolled 292 young adults participating in a residential treatment program that followed the 12-step Minnesota Model treatment philosophy, which includes detoxification, a number of evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches, and engagement with community-based mutual-help groups such as Narcotics Anonymous after discharge. Among the enrollees, 73 had been diagnosed with opioid dependence, 58 with opioid misuse, and the other 66 were being treated for use of other drugs, such as alcohol, cocaine, or marijuana. Among all participants the average stay in the residential facility was 26 days, and 84 percent were discharged with staff approval, indicating successful completion of the inpatient treatment.
A year after leaving residential treatment, 29 percent of the opioid-dependent participants remained abstinent from drugs, compared with 22 percent of the opioid misusers, despite the fact that the dependent participants had more significant opioid-related symptoms and consequences when entering the treatment program. Among all three groups, the opioid misusers had the lowest rates of treatment completion, were least likely to engage in outpatient care, and used more marijuana and alcohol during the follow-up period. The authors hypothesize that the poorer outcomes among opioid-misusing participants may reflect less recognition of the seriousness of their condition, leading to less willingness to comply with treatment and recommendations for continuing care.
"Our study emphasizes the importance of strong linkage between residential treatment and continuing care," says Schuman-Olivier, who also is with the Outpatient Addiction Services at Cambridge Health Alliance. "Right now there is a huge gap between residential and community services in many health systems. Yes, residential treatment can be costly, but with an opioid-dependence epidemic that has led to frequent overdose deaths, it's important to think about what works, not just costs. We have evidence that outpatient treatment for opioid dependence is not as effective in young adults as it is in older adults, so we need alternatives to protect this vulnerable population."
Sleep study participants are asked to squeeze a small ball in time with their breathing, and the force and timing of their motions are measured by the glove and by electrodes on a forearm muscle. By combining the information collected from the way squeezes decrease in frequency and strength as a participant falls asleep, investigators can now track the dynamic changes in brain and body during the sleep onset process.

Connor Southwell: What took place on Saturday will live forever

Canaries Correspondent Connor Southwell reflects on an unforgettable night at Carrow Road as Norwich City defied the odds to conquer English champions Manchester City.
Football has a habit of throwing up a situation that defies all logic.
On Saturday evening, every script was thrown out the window in dramatic fashion. It was ectacsy that flowed through Carrow Road's veins as the clock ticked away, every passing moment felt like an eternity.
In the stands stood supporters who arrived hoping to witness anything other than a mauling. Expectation was non-existent, this served as a true test of what it means to commit to a football club.
The terraces were occupied by a nervous energy. A fear for what was to come.

It couldn't be done, that's what they proclaimed. The chasm was too large for this depleted Norwich City side to overcome. The money spent by their opponents was in an alternative stratosphere to that of the Canaries. There was no chance. No hope. No way.
All they had to cling onto was their dreams. That, somehow, there could be a way; there could be a moment that would define the game. Maybe one day. Maybe today.
Some were seen looking to the heavens, hoping for a divine intervention but deity would not be at work on the turf. This was bravery and togetherness the like of which has never been seen before in NR1.
Even the loyalists who endure miles of travelling following their beloved club had wrote this fixture off as nothing more than an opportunity to witness one of Europe's superiors contest with their football club.

How wrong they were, we all were.
This is why so many adore football, unlike anything else in contemporary society; it produces narratives that would be envied in the highest towers of Hollywood. Everything about this fixture offered Norwich nothing but a heavy defeat.
Only football has the ability to make you feel like this.
Off the field, the difference in finances and recruitment strategy couldn't be more polarised. A champion of the league maybe, but it was Norwich who were the champions of the evening.

As the piece developed, the more belief was injected into those of a yellow and green persuasion, the first goal was pure disbelief, the second was ecstasy, and the third was pure delirium. Wrapped up in it all were supporters who, only a year previous, had grave concerns regarding the direction of their club.
They've been through the mire with their football club, seen all that there is to see but not this. From League One, the club has ridden a wave of momentum, now though; it feels like something more sustainable is in their grasp. Never before has moments of high drama against the highest of odds arrived in these parts.
Conventions were rejected when Stuart Webber waltzed through the door with a master plan in his hand, in Farke, he has discovered a coach who is prepared to dance with the top guns without fear or self-doubt. Norwich have endured pragmatic football at this level, the enjoyment was sucked out of their experience by accepting their place.
'Be rebellious' that's the mantra delivered by the German. He's been handed a group of misfits and made them dream, extracting every ounce of footballing ability needed to ensure they reach legendary status wearing the yellow and green shirt.
Nobody gave them a chance, but inwardly, they believed. Just like they did in the dying embers against Nottingham Forest or at Elland Road as they nullified Marcelo Bielsa's tactical approach.
The City Stand celebrated every tackle that brought that whistle closer, the roar that emanated out of the stadium enough to leave the ears of anyone ringing. This was no ordinary day; this was a day that will exist in the history books for eternity.
Behind both goals was a sea of yellow and green, those were people who rejected the allure of victories and trophies to begin a love affair with their local side. This was about belonging, as Farke whipped all four sides of the ground into a frenzy, supporters were left to embrace each other. Generations created memories that will be spoken about as legend, parents shared the euphoria with their children.
This was about more than three points, it was about vindication of their approach, it was about Norwich City Football Club grabbing the spotlight and shining it on all things yellow and green. This was about sending a message to football clubs that wealth doesn't need to equate to success.
The reverberations will be heard around the globe, many will opt to dissect Manchester City but this is about Norwich City.
In truth, it always has been.

Dearborn SOUP Announces Winner of First Mini-Grant
March 16, 2011 By News Release
DEARBORN, Michigan – Dearborn SOUP, a gathering of the community for dinner, music and networking—bestowed its first mini-grant on Detroit Youth Energy Squad (D-YES), Sunday, March 6, 2011. SOUP is a monthly dinner that funds micro-grants for creative projects. This event, modeled after Detroit SOUP, is designed to support local entrepreneurs whose ideas will positively impact the community in the areas of the arts, humanities, or "green" initiatives.
Justin Schott and the D-YES Team - Winners of the first Dearborn SOUP micro-grant.
D-YES, created by Justin Schott, also the program's director, was voted to receive the first donation of over $650. D-YES, a program of WARM Training Center, empowers and trains high school students and adult AmeriCorps crew leaders to promote energy conservation and perform basic home energy retrofits. The residential improvements help 1,500 low-income households save updwards of $250 annually. At Dearborn SOUP, D-YES proposed to expand the already existing garden and future greenhouse at Detroit Community High. In addition to producing a greater amount of healthy food for nearby residents, the group wants to reach out to youth with disabilities to include them in the success of this garden and program.
"We were extremely pleased with the very first Dearborn SOUP event," said organizer Dee Hamka. "The crowd that gathered included families with small children, seniors, artists and musicians. It was exciting to gather that diverse a group together to really make a difference in the community."
The event attracted nearly 200 guests from the Dearborn community and was held at The Glass Academy in Dearborn. Each attendee was asked to donate $5 for admission, which includes a light meal. During dinner, up to four pre selected individuals presented their ideas. The attendees then voted on a winner and the proceeds were granted to fund the winning idea.
Dearborn SOUP hopes to attract both non-profit and for profit ideas for presentation. The next SOUP will be held the first Sunday in April from 5-8 pm at the Fairlane Ford dealership in East Dearborn. All are welcome. Those with business plans to be considered should submit them in writing to Dearborn SOUP on Facebook. Those willing to donate food or seating or with questions can reach Dee Hamka at (313) 801-4444.

A Tragic Tale of Tools
#lulz | #WhatTheyVotedFor
Trying to explain #pizzagate reminds of an old lyricα: "Baring your soul was the in thing to do. It's fun and it's easy for an empty-headed fool." And it's true, those recalling the period closely―and thus painfully―enough, yes, the line works well enough. Indeed, we might cringe recalling Iron John and the mythic Fire in the Belly, but the vinyl memory also brings to mind a trend of men exploring their feelings, shedding fear about shedding tears, and, of course, reinforcing the stereotypes they would ostensibly otherwise break by pursuing their feminine sides. It is then, merely coincidental―or, you know, not, given how the interconnectedness of all things is most affecting of our lives when asserting through the historical record―that scattershot assertions of traditional masculinity find themselves so close to an invented scandal asserting child sexual exploitation by one group while relying on an opposing group wallowing in child rape fantasies.
Never mind. Andrew Breiner takes his turn for Salon:
But a small number of people on message boards like 4chan and Reddit were more interested in seemingly mundane emails about small social gatherings and parties hosted by Podesta and his friends. Specifically, they noticed that these emails mentioned pizza a few times.
Boldly disregarding the simple explanation that the emailers, like most Americans, eat pizza regularly and find it to be an easy food to serve and eat while socializing, self-appointed Internet detectives decided that "pizza" was a complex code for pedophilia. Using this code, Pizzagaters claim, Podesta and his well-heeled pals could brazenly discuss their plans for throwing disgusting sex parties exploiting enslaved children, in between exchanges about Clinton's campaign strategy and setting up conference calls.
It's important to note that since the theories that would become Pizzagate began on 4chan and Reddit, sites known for trolling people with cruel, complicated pranks, it's likely that many of the conspiracy theory's originators were joking―coming up with absurdities to entertain themselves.
But it took a very short time for /r/Pizzagate, the now-closed Pizzagate-focused Reddit subforum, or subreddit, to fill with people who appeared to be true believers. The theory also became popular on Reddit's "The Donald," a hub for Trump supporters. From there, Pizzagate caught the attention of conservative fake news sites, minor white supremacist celebrities, and supporters of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. It's been amplified for unknown reasons by Twitter bots traced to the Czech Republic, Cyprus and Vietnam.
To the one, we can only reiterate the question of whether or not Trump supporters are complaisant assets to the machinations of international interests, but perhaps more importantly we should note, to the other, the question of lulz.
That is to say, we might recall Brendan Gauthier's report for Salon in September:
Perhaps the most noteworthy admission came from a 4chan user who openly acknowledged the big scary alt-right's satirical (and inflammatory) edge: "CTR shills still not realising that pol is a board of satire and our only mission is to meme the retarded manchild to the white house for the lulz."
This is one of those weird facets we might wish to pay some attention to. Overseas twitterbots are sufficient to move a soft-headed religious fanatic to terrorize a pizzeria as a means of taking up arms against Hillary Clinton; the lulzaholics ought to be proud, but what about the rest of Donald Trump's supporters?
In the end, it's all the same. They get played by Russian trolls, international misinformation bloggers, and botnets around the world because they want to.
It is easy enough to remind that it always has been about supremacism and lulz; as the excuses fall away, what else will be left?
α Memory insists it comes from a Seattle band from the late eighties into the early nineties called Chemistry Set, but that vinyl echo is really dusty.

A Reminder: There's a War On
Okay, look, it's a standard local Republican comedy of the macabre: State senator posts stupid, racist meme on Facebook, deletes it, apologizes, acknowledges "error in judgment".
Steve Mistler offers the detail for the Portland Press Herald:
State Sen. Michael Willette apologized Monday for sharing a Facebook post criticizing President Obama's handling of the terrorist group ISIS and suggesting that its members are family members of the president.
Willette, a Republican from Presque Isle, posted a photo from Conservative News Daily that depicted Obama with the caption, "Why haven't I done anything about ISIS? Because I'll deal with them at the family reunion." The post is designed to be humorous, but stokes long-harbored suspicions among some conservatives that the president is a Muslim extremist and not born in America. It also implies that the president and his family are kin with the same terrorist organizations known for beheading foreign aid workers and journalists ....
.... When asked to explain the rationale for the post, Willette issued a written statement in which he apologized for sharing the photo publicly. However, he did not apologize for the message the post conveyed.
"I apologize for posting this on Facebook. Like too many people these days, I fell into the trap of posting something first and then thinking later. It was an error in judgment," he said.
Sounds about right. No, really, how outraged are we going to get this time?
Because, you know, what's all this about not doing anything about Daa'ish?
There's a war on, after all, or hadn't you heard?
Twenty-two hundred airstrikes? Over 2,800 personnel in the theatre?
Oh, right: It's not a big enough war.
No, seriously, what's all this about not doing anything?
Syria? Iraq? Iran? Just how big a war are Republicans after?

Not Quite the Paradox of Watching Smart People Being Stupid
Maybe fifteen years ago, geek friends were all chattering excitedly about an idea, kind of a memory and gene and idea and all that, and therein we find the idea of a meme, and, yes, I know what you're thinking, or at least that it has to do with cheeseburgers or puddin' pops.
The thing is that a bunch of really smart tech people suddenly started playing around with ideas having to do with psychology, but as with many people who have no foundation in the disciplines they dabble, tried to start from the ground up. They thought they were breaking ground, defining new insight to the human mind. What they ended up with was a bunch of badly-spelled jokes printed in white block-capitals on stupid pictures.
Shit happens.
The present reminder of what happens when smart people dabble outside their expertise comes courtesy of the inimitable Zach Weiner.
Learn the lesson. The one salvation with the meme disaster is that so many people were in on it, we probably can't figure out which one person to blame. Okay, there's the other salvation, which is watching celebrities meme themselves to infamy.

What it Comes To: Icky Girls and Terrorism Edition
It is not necessarily the normal course for a stereotype. You know the one, about gamers and tech-heads being zit-faced, overweight, lonely guys in their mothers' basements, and all that.
That is to say, normally such people work to overcome those stereotypes. And often it is difficult. Even Bill Cosby will tell black people to whiten up.
And then there is GamerGate, a situation we referred to last month as (ahem!) "a pretty minor scandal".
About that … er … um … yeah.
Now just work with me here, for a moment. Please.
This is a purely behavioral phenomenon. That is to say, we might recall those who would combat racism or sexism by undertaking racist and sexist rhetoric. You know, the old argument about how there are women, and then there are bitches; or there are black people, and then there are niggers. And it is tempting to tell people to not live down to bad stereotypes, but that's the point. Bad behavior is bad behavior, and it really shouldn't matter what color one's skin is or what they have between their legs.
But this? Gaming is not quite the same as being black or female.
All of which is our own little preface; the real point here is that Brianna Wu has responded to threats against her life and the lives of her family:
They've taken down women I care about one by one. Now, the vicious mob of the Gamergate movement is coming after me. They've threatened to rape me. They've threatened to make me choke to death on my husband's severed genitals. They've threatened to murder any children I might have.
This angry horde has been allowed to wage its misogynistic war without penalty for too long. It's time for the video game industry to stop them.
Gamergate is ostensibly about journalistic ethics. Supporters say they want to address conflicts of interest between the people that make games and the people that support them. In reality, Gamergate is a group of gamers that are willing to destroy the women who have invaded their clubhouse.
The movement is not new. Two years ago, when Anita Sarkeesian tried to crowdfund a series of videos critiquing the hypersexualized female characters of video games, they threatened to kill and rape her. The movement reached fever pitch – and got its name — when a jilted former lover of indie game developer Zoe Quinn published transcripts of her life online. Gamers who were outraged over charges that Quinn's game Depression Quest had received favorable reviews due to an alleged romantic relationship with a journalist, seized the opportunity to shame and terrify her into hiding. Now, Gamergate is a wildfire that threatens to consume the entire games industry.
Yes. Really.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tre White scored 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting, Kobe Johnson added 14 points, five assists and three steals and Southern California beat Cal State Fullerton 64-50 Wednesday night.
Drew Petersen added nine points and eight rebounds for USC (7-3).
The Titans missed six consecutive shots and committed three turnovers over the first five minutes as USC scored the first 13 points and Reese Dixon-Waters made a driving layup that gave the Trojans a 22-5 lead midway through the first half.
Latrell Wrightsell Jr., the only Fullerton play to score in double figures, had 17 points.
Fullerton (4-5) shot just 27.6% (8 of29) in the first half but the Trojans scored just one point during a stretch of five-plus minutes and the Titans used a 16-5 spurt to trim their deficit to 27-21 late in the first half, but got no closer.
Johnson made a layup that gave USC a 37-26 lead with 17 minutes to play and Fullerton trailed by double figures the rest of the way.

In 2014, Cape Town was the World Design Capital. In 2018, Design remains as vital to the city in terms of approaches to solving many of the challenges the city faces, and the design sector is stronger than ever.
The first one was created for the Dutch Consulate in Cape Town as a high level learning journey for a team of Dutch designers. An updated version of this programme would suit university level design students, design missions and design interest groups.
The second one was created for the 12 Apostles Hotel, and was aimed at leisure travelers with a keen design interest.

When we think of trucking crashes, the most common victims we think are those in passenger vehicles. And for good reason, because passenger vehicles are much smaller than a large commercial truck and occupants of passenger vehicles usually get serious injured, maimed, or killed. But when we think of trucking crashes, we do not normally think of injuries to other truck drivers. When in fact it is not uncommon for long trips across the country to have two drivers. One will rest in the cabin and sleep while the other one drives to avoid an hours of service violation. But if the driver ends up falling asleep or causing a trucking crash, the sleeping co-driver can be seriously injured or killed.
This is exactly what happened in a FedEx crash that the Caruso Law Offices, P.C. handled. The truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and the co-driver sleeping in the cabin compartment was killed in the collision. We represented the family of the deceased and were able to recover compensation. If you or a loved one have been injured in a trucking crash, call our experienced Albuquerque trucking wreck attorneys for a FREE consultation by dialing (505) 883-5000 to learn how we can help you obtain the compensation you may deserve.
Truck Drivers Killed by New Mexico 18 Wheeler Wrecks: Not Just New Mexico Drivers!
New Mexico has some of the busiest and most important interstates for coast to coast shipping. I-10, I-25, and I-40 provide east to west and north to south routes for trucking companies, with major junctions in Las Cruces and Albuquerque to switch directions. Because of this, many of the trucking crashes in New Mexico are not always caused by New Mexico trucking companies and involve New Mexico truck drivers. Some of the largest trucking companies in the country, including FedEx, J.B. Hunt, UPS, Schneider National, and other motor carriers use these roads.
Because the accident occurs in New Mexico, and usually because it involves at least one person from New Mexico, the venue (or place where the case and be brought) will be in New Mexico. This means out of state people may be involved with a New Mexico trucking wreck trial, and here at the Caruso Law Offices, P.C. that is normal!
Given New Mexico's close proximity to California, we frequently represent truck drivers who are seriously injured or killed in trucking crashes from Ontario, Upland, and San Bernardino, California. This is a major trucking hub where many companies operate out of and where truck drivers live.

"The Heritage Language Consortium, is a strategic partnership between Lancaster University, the University of Lisbon, the University of Minho, NOVA University Lisbon, the University of Porto, Tübingen University, and Camões: Instituto da Cooperação e da Língua, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The objective of the Consortium is to promote research on language learning in a variety of settings (from naturalistic development to classroom-based instruction) and across different age groups (children, adolescents and adults). The focus of our research will be on the acquisition of Portuguese in multilingual settings, though the insights gained from Consortium projects will be applicable to other languages.
Our research will help us understand how children and adults learn new languages and identify those factors that make some of us particularly good language learners. We can then use these insights to improve language education.
Consortium projects involve leading researchers from a range of disciplines (theoretical linguistics, education, computational linguistics, cognitive psychology, language pedagogy, corpus linguistics, second language research) and a range of methodological approaches. Please visit the People page to learn more about the Steering Committee, the Scientific Advisory Board, and the Consortium Members.
In addition, the Consortium also participates in impact and outreach activities to engage with parents, teachers and policy makers. An early example of such an outreach initiative can be found here."

Mr Brincat said that through news releases, the Directorate for Plant Health was keeping farmers and the public informed on how to recognise the symptoms and control the situation, where this was possible.

KABUL (Pajhwok): More than 80 traders and moneychangers were kidnapped last solar year in Kabul, Nangarhar and Herat provinces, with some being killed and others remained in captivity, a trader representative said on Tuesday.
Deputy head of the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry Khan Jan Alokozai told in a press conference here that on a daily basis one or two traders were kidnapped in Nangarhar and six moneychangers were killed during the last two weeks in capital Kabul alone.
He strongly warned security officials against their failure to ensure safety and security of traders, saying a failure in this regard would leave bad impact on the country's economy and traders would start shifting their capital aboard.
Moneychanger Hajji Bahdar, a participant of the gathering, said a month back some unidentified gunmen tried to kidnap him in broad daylight and had the plan to kill him.
He urged the government to ensure their security; otherwise without security they would be obligated to leave the country.
