I do not want a No. 4. I am injury-free." The North Stars will also bank on the development of Price, yet another talented newcomer in the area. "She will definitely be in our top three," Galvan said of Price.

The odd structure of the YankeeNets' $360 million bond offering is the strongest indicator to date that George Steinbrenner is committed to starting his own sports network, financial analysts tell The Post.
Such a move would mean that Yankee and Nets games would eventually switch to a new, team-owned cable station and transform Steinbrenner and Lewis Katz, the Nets owner, from simply sports moguls to entertainment kingpins.
It would also mark the first time a sports team owner successfully launched a sports network, spurning the guaranteed $60 million to $70 million a year, or more, from the cable rights, in return for the prospect of greater, advertiser-generated riches down the road.
While the Boss and his partners have never commented on their desire, specifically, to form a regional sports network to compete with MSG, the current Yankee rights holder, the analysts said the proof of the Boss' desire is all in the numbers.
The analysts point to the rather large $110 million reserve contained in the proposed $360 million bond offering, which, if sold, would be the largest debt offering in sports history.
Usually, sports teams which raise money with bonds leave the equivalent of one year's revenue in reserve to cover an interruption in cash flow, like from a strike or a lock out, says Daniel C. Champeau, a director in Fitch IBCA's sports finance operation.
With the $110 million in reserve, the YankeeNets appear to be looking to cover a large interruption in their cash flow, the type of slowdown caused, perhaps, by saying goodbye to their $48 million annual payments from Cablevision's MSG network and working through the lean years of starting their own regional network.

Q: Flowtype error. Object type is incompatible with string I wrote a small Javascript class that has an argument which accepts either a string or an object. However, I get this error:
Error: utils/HttpError.js:8
  8:    message:string | ErrorObj
                         ^^^^^^^^ object type. This type is incompatible with
512:     message: string;
                  ^^^^^^ string. See lib: /private/tmp/flow/flowlib_33322c59/core.js:512

I've tried not using the type alias, and simplifying the ErrorObj to just {}, but I've had no luck. Is this a bug, or am I missing something? I'm using flow-bin ^0.51.0. My class is below.
//@flow
"use strict";

type ErrorObj = {[key:string]:Array<string>}

class HttpError extends Error {
    status:number
    message:string | ErrorObj
    constructor(status:number, message: string | ErrorObj){
        super();
        this.status = status;
        this.message = message;
    }

    toString():string{
        return `status: ${this.status} message: ${JSON.stringify(this.message)}`;
    }
}

module.exports = HttpError;

A: The internal definition of Error has the message member variable typed as simply a string. Even after subclassing, the base class (Error) still might interact with this.message in some way. If you were able to redefine it to be anything other than a string, and it attempted to call length or concat or some other member of the String class, it would fail. Therefore you cannot override member types of subclasses.
You could instead try something like:
type ErrorObj = {[key:string]:Array<string>}

class HttpError extends Error {
    status:number
    _customMessage:string | ErrorObj
    constructor(status:number, message: string | ErrorObj){
        super(typeof message === 'string' ? message : null);
        this.status = status;
        this._customMessage = message;
    }

    toString():string{
        return `status: ${this.status} message: ${JSON.stringify(this._customMessage)}`;
    }
}

Scribbling about Kevin Stefanski's biggest challenges: Fixing Baker Mayfield and discipline
Updated Jan 15, 2020; Posted Jan 15, 2020
Cleveland Browns introduce new head coach Kevin Stefanski, January 14, 2020
By Terry Pluto, The Plain Dealer
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Scribbles in my Cleveland Browns notebook after the hiring of Kevin Stefanski as the team's new head coach. He is a rookie head coach whose last job was as the Minnesota Vikings' offensive coordinator:
1. Can Stefanski actually coach the Browns for more than a year or two? Browns history says probably not. But how can he beat the odds? It starts with two areas: Quarterback play and leadership.
2. Let's start with leadership. Perhaps the best line of Stefanski's press conference dealt with the team having strong personalities such Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry and Baker Mayfield. Stefanski replied: "I don't mind personality...Personality is welcome. Your production is required."
3. That sounds good, but Stefanski will be challenged by some of the players. The Browns were one of the NFL's most undisciplined teams. Often when former coach Freddie Kitchens did discipline someone, it was a lesser player such as David Njoku or Rashard Higgins. There was a sense "stars" had special privileges, even when the "stars" were not that productive.
4. Kitchens made the mistake of starting soft as a head coach, trying to be the buddy of the players. When he tried to impose discipline later in the season, there was a lot of pushback. Anyone who has ever taught a class knows it's best to start strict, then you can back off. We'll see what Stefanski does.

5. Let's consider Beckham, who missed nearly all of the spring voluntary practice sessions. He didn't engage in many full practices during training camp. It seemed Kitchens and the Browns were giving him special treatment. Browns fans know Beckham has a big, sometimes self-absorbed personality. As for his production, Beckham caught 74 passes for 1,035 yards and 4 touchdowns. It was the least productive of his six-year career, other than when he played only four games in 2017.
6. Stefanski on Beckham and going to voluntary spring practices: "It's important. It's a time for us to start implementing our schemes. It's team building, so I'm looking forward to...having them (players) in the building...but ultimately, it's voluntary."
7. Last year, Beckham insisted he didn't need to be at the minicamps to learn the offense and he had his own way of preparing for the season. The Browns allowed him to do that. It can't happen again unless the Browns want more problems.
8. The best way for Stefanski to earn the respect of the players is to be very organized, confident in what he's asking them to do and letting them know what it will work. He is not screamer. He is supposed to be a CEO type coach, and that means the players must believe the coach can make them better and help them win. It's not about personality or liking the guy.
This is how Baker Mayfield looked as he walked off the field after a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the final game of the season. Photo by John Kuntz,/ cleveland.comcleveland.com
9. Which brings us to Mayfield, who went from setting a rookie record for TD passes (27) in 2018 to being ranked No. 31st in quarterback rating in 2019. In many ways, Stefanski's future is in the hands of Mayfield.
10. "The sky is the limit for him (Mayfield)," said Stefanski. "He is as accurate as they come. There are plenty of things we can do schematically . . . to make life easier on him."
11. Upon further review: Mayfield was an accurate QB in college. He was fairly accurate (.638) as a rookie. But last season, he ranked 31st (.599) in accuracy. His passes often sailed high and he lost his soft touch on short throws.
12. Yes, the Browns can put Mayfield in better schemes and formations to help. But there also are some fundamental issues with his throwing motion that led to the decline in accuracy. Stefanski made his reputation by helping QBs Case Keenum and Kirk Cousins.
13. Reviving Mayfield can change so much for the franchise. Did Mayfield work as hard as needed last summer? He probably thinks so, but the data indicates otherwise. Stefanski needs to sit down and discuss with Mayfield what it takes to be a long-term, productive QB in the NFL. It's not easy, especially when commercials and other things came so soon to Mayfield last summer.
14. I like how Stefanski is a disciple of Gary Kubiak. If you have seen Kyle Shanahan's offense with San Francisco, that's out of a system established by Kubiak and Mike Shanahan (Kyle's father). The run is a key part of the offense. That can help Mayfield while at the same time maximizing the talent of running backs Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb.
15. For Stefanski, there are a lot of issues taking over the 6-10 Browns as he becomes their fifth coach hired by Owner Jimmy Haslam since 2013. But the biggest are Mayfield and discipline, which can be two game changers for the franchise.

What's on TV this week: 'Hitman 3,' 'They Live' and 'Pixar Popcorn'
This week's highlight game release is Hitman 3, closing out a trilogy of murder-for-hire simulators
SUNRISE, Fla. — Frank Vatrano scored 2:50 into overtime, and the Florida Panthers beat the winless Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 on Tuesday night. Carter Verhaeghe scored two goals for Florida (2-0-0), and Patric Hornqvist also scored. Keith Yandle had a goal and an assist. Hornqvist, who was acquired in a September trade with Pittsburgh, has two goals and an assist in the first two games. Sergei Bobrovsky made 29 saves for Florida in his first start of the season, but the two-time Vezina Trophy winner was a bit rusty. The 32-year-old Bobrovsky, who is in the second year of a seven-year, $70 million contract, was deemed "unfit to play" during most of training camp. He had a .900 save percentage last season, the second-worst of his career. Dominik Kubalik scored his first two goals of the year for Chicago, which has dropped its first four games of the pandemic-shortened season. Patrick Kane also scored, and Phillipp Kurashev posted his first NHL goal. Kevin Lankinen stopped 23 shots in his first NHL start. Kurashev's shot from the high slot gave the Blackhawks a 4-3 lead with 13:54 left, their first lead of the season. Yandle tied it at 4 with his power-play goal. THE STREAK CONTINUES Yandle, whose status coming into the season was uncertain, played in his 868th consecutive game, the longest active streak and fourth longest in NHL history. Yandle has not missed a game since March 22, 2009, when he was with the Arizona Coyotes. NO GO Bobrovsky stopped Kane on a penalty shot in the second. ATTENDANCE The Panthers are one of only three teams to allow fans. They allow up to 25% capacity and attendance was 3,667 on Tuesday. UP NEXT The Blackhawks host the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday. The Panthers visit the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday. Paul Gereffi, The Associated Press
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says he intends to invite the rival leaders on Cyprus to an informal meeting "as soon as practicable," but he warns that this meeting must be different and help clarify "the true extent" of their common vision "and outline steps necessary to chart a way forward." The U.N. chief also warned in a report to the U.N. Security Council circulated Tuesday that "time is working against a mutually acceptable political settlement in Cyprus." Guterres gave no date for the meeting of Cyprus' rival Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders along with the three "guarantors" of the Mediterranean island nation's independence -- Greece, Turkey and Britain.

Theresa May has accused her successor Boris Johnson of abandoning Britain's position of "global moral leadership". The former prime minister warned Mr Johnson's threat to override the UK's treaty obligations in the Brexit divorce settlement risked signalling a "retreat" from the UK's global commitments. In an article in the Daily Mail to mark the inauguration of Joe Biden as the US president, she hit out at the way Donald Trump had "whipped up" his supporters to storm the Capitol after refusing to accept the election result.
Lockdown lifted at Columbian Centre in Prince Albert
The Columbian Centre seniors living complex in Prince Albert has been taken out of lockdown. The senior's living complex was put under lockdown after public health detected five COVID-19 cases among residents on Dec. 23. After further testing was completed on Jan. 2, no further cases were detected and the lockdown was lifted just two days later. "The rest of us all tested negative so they lifted our lockdown on Monday, Jan. 4," facility manager Rob Fahlman said. "Everybody in here was patient they persevered and they also recognized that the regulations during COVID have to be followed and it was Public Health and we had to do our part to curb the COVID," The news came as a great relief to residents. "We were all very happy to hear that and very thankful. And we just attribute it to of course the Public Health looking after us and the tenants themselves being obedient" he explained. "A lot of our tenants are praying too, oh yes they were praying hard and they told me so and I believe them. Through Public Health's assistance we were able to nip it in the bud." According to Fahlman, after an initial positive test was confirmed on Dec. 23, public health informed Columbian Centre that seniors were not allowed to leave their rooms and visitors were not permitted. All residents were tested on Christmas Eve and the other four positive results were returned in late December. The province, in the official listings on the province's online dashboard, listed the outbreak as declared on Dec. 27. An outbreak is declared when there are at least two active cases in a location. Things have returned to relative normalcy in the building since the lockdown was lifted. "For two weeks now people have been going about their business. They missed some time with their families of course over Christmas and New Year's but I think most of them made up for it after within the confines of the COVID restrictions. They have reunited with their families in some way," Fahlman said. "My hat is off to these people because they have been through a lot already. And in this time of their life family is huge for them. It was quite a sacrifice for them." Last Friday, public health offered vaccinations to residents. Fifty took part. Still, the building isn't taking any chances. "I tell them that from my understanding this vaccination isn't going to kick in for another couple of weeks so there is no letting down on the masks and sanitizing that we do in the building. There is no letting down in anything so we just keep on doing what we have been doing," Fahlman said. Michael Oleksyn, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, Prince Albert Daily Herald
UConn coach Geno Auriemma says he would rather still be coaching against the late Pat Summitt than moving past her on the all-time wins list. The Huskies routed Butler 103-35 on Tuesday, giving Auriemma his 1,099th win. The victory leaves him just behind Stanford's Tara VanDerveer (1,105) and gives him one more than his former rival, Summitt, who died in 2016 at the age of 64.

NCAA announces tighter schedule for March Madness
That much-anticipated opening Thursday of March Madness will belong to the play-in teams, part of a scrambled and modestly condensed schedule for the 2021 tournament released Tuesday. The coronavirus pandemic forced the NCAA to move the entire 67-game tournament to Indiana, which means the schedule doesn't have to be built with travel concerns in mind. The so-called ''First Four'' - two games pitting the last four at-large teams in the field and another two featuring the lowest-rated conference champions - will take place on Thursday, March 18.

The Franco-British Exhibition was a large public fair held in London between 14 May and 31 October 1908. The exhibition attracted 8 million visitors and celebrated the Entente Cordiale signed in 1904 by the United Kingdom and France. The chief architect of the buildings was John Belcher.

The Exhibition was held in an area of west London near Shepherd's Bush which is now called White City: the area acquired its name from the exhibition buildings which were all painted white. The 1908 Summer Olympics fencing events were held in the district alongside the festivities.

Attractions

The fair was the largest exhibition of its kind in Britain, and the first international exhibition co-organised and sponsored by two countries. It covered an area of some , including an artificial lake, surrounded by an immense network of white buildings in elaborate (often Oriental) styles.

The most popular attractions at the exhibition were the two so-called "colonial villages"—an "Irish village" and a "Senegalese village", which were designed to communicate the success of imperialism. The Irish village ("Ballymaclinton") was inhabited by 150 "colleens" (Irish girls) who demonstrated various forms of domestic industry, as well as displays of manufacturing and even an art gallery. The "Senegalese village" was a so-called "native village" displaying day-to-day life, as well as various artefacts. Press reports commented on the "surprising cleanliness" of the Irish, while readers were reminded that the Senegalese were "cleaner than they looked".

Also exhibited was Locomotive No.516 from the South East & Chatham Railway (SE&CR) with a tri-composite brake carriage.

Limericks were used to advertise this event:

A maiden of coy disposition,
Met her fate at the Bush Exhibition,
When his great love he told her,
Placed her head on his shoulder,
And enjoyed the happier position.

In an Anglo-French section one night,
A Youth met a Maiden, gay and bright,
But her idea of pleasure,
Was of such boundless measure,
He left with heart heavy – purse light.

In 1937, a large portion of the White City site was cleared to make way for a housing estate. During the clearance, the Flip Flap, and a number of other White City structures, were sold for scrap to the steel firm George Cohen, Sons and Co Limited—the same company who had dismantled the Great Wheel of the Earl's Court Exhibition, and went on to dismantle the Skylon, dome, and ten other buildings, at the Festival of Britain site in 1952.

Balloon accident
On 14 August 1908, a balloon owned by American balloonist Capt. Lovelace exploded at the exhibition, killing his 18-year-old secretary and a male employee. Six others were injured, including a 47-year-old employee who died days after the accident. Newspaper reports indicated that the explosion occurred when a lighted match was thrown to the ground during preparations for a flight.

Site today

After being used for four more exhibitions up to 1914, the site fell into disrepair and was unused for over twenty years. It was then demolished bit by bit to make way for various developments over the last century. First in the 1930s the housing estate in the North of the site, now centred on Commonwealth Avenue, then the Territorial Army (TA) took over a corner on South Africa Road in WW2, The BBC took over much of the remaining site from the 1950s onwards with the BBC Television Centre (now itself being developed into the 'Television Centre' flats, studios and retail), BBC Media Village and BBC Worldwide buildings and in the early 2000s the last buildings on the East of Wood Lane were demolished to make way for the Westfield London development.

Only the internal structure of the TA building on South Africa Road remains from the numerous halls and ornate buildings of the original exhibition. Hammersmith Park, at the north of Frithville Gardens, was once part of the Japanese Garden, and is the only part of the 1908 exhibition site still visible.  A small area of tiling preserved from the Garden could be seen inside the main Television Centre site adjacent to the Studio 1 Audience Entrance.  The White City Stadium site, in Wood Lane adjacent to the Westway overpass and once part of the Exhibition, is now occupied by the BBC Media Village.

State Senate OKs Testing Protections For Ohio Students
WYSO | By Associated Press
Published March 4, 2015 at 6:45 PM EST
Ohio senators have passed a bill to bar schools from using the results of new proficiency tests to determine a student's advancement to the next grade level.
The Senate voted unanimously Wednesday on the legislation, which also ensures that schools don't lose state aid for students not taking standardized tests this school year.
The measure also prohibits using the results of new state math and English assessments to make course credit decisions. It further prevents schools from sharing individual test scores with outside sources without parental consent.
Backers of the bill want students to have the same protections against unintended consequences of the new tests as teachers and school districts.
The House passed an earlier version and must agree to the Senate's changes before the measure goes to the governor.

Prof. Pfeiffer (Chair Professor of One Health) was one of the African swine fever experts invited to join a three-day emergency meeting convened by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to review the most recent developments in China following the outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) in the country, and to develop a regional response to the threat of ASF spread to other countries in Asia.
The meeting was attended by representatives from the animal health authorities of 10 Asian countries neighbouring China, private stakeholders from the pig production industry in the region, FAO officials, and international experts. Its objectives were to review the current ASF situation and risks to the rest of China and the region; to develop a regional approach for ASF reduction, preparedness and response; to identify priority actions required for countries in the short, medium and longer term; and to facilitate the development of a stakeholder network for ASF.
The meeting concluded with a warning that African swine fever is 'here to stay' and utmost diligence is required to avoid major damage to food security and livelihoods.


The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has frozen the personal account of the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose, and those of his associates.
The governor's personal account at the Zenith Bank Ekiti branch was allegedly frozen on the order of the anti-graft agency, according to a source in the bank.
Fayose, who had earlier issued a cheque to make a withdrawal but was rejected by the bank, was forced to visit the bank located at Onigari, GRA in Ado Ekiti himself, describing the action as criminal and illegal.
Citing Section 308 of the 1999 Constitution, Fayose said he enjoys immunity as a sitting governor and asked the federal government to fight corruption within the ambit of the law.
"I support government fighting corruption, but it has to be within the ambit of the law. You can investigate me, it is their right, but they have to wait till 2018 because I will be done by then. They should not be in a hurry because I will personally come to them for investigation.
"I have become a figurehead in this country that I don't have anywhere to run to. This rascality of EFCC must stop. If they like, let them investigate the whole world. Is it because they are the sitting government now that nobody can ask them questions? We will take every legal procedure to get things right.
Fayose, who urged President Muhammadu Buhari not to see himself as a saint, alleged that the president's wife, Aisha, was fingered in a money laundering scandal during the Olusegun Obasanjo administration.
"Mrs Buhari was accused of wiring $170,000 to (William) Jefferson's account and the man have been convicted abroad. So Buhari and APC should not see themselves as saints," he alleged.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a civil rights organization that some conservatives and libertarians have called a far-left extremist group. The SPLC nickname "Soviet Poverty Law Center" was used in a July 2012 tweet and was popularized by the April 2013 article, "Krugman and the Soviet Poverty Law Center," by Tom DiLorenzo on LewRockwell.com.
"Soviet Poverty Lie Center" is a similar nickname. The Daily Paul listed some other SPLC nicknames in June 2011.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is an American nonprofit civil rights organization noted for its legal victories against white supremacist groups; its legal representation for victims of hate groups; its monitoring of alleged hate groups, militias and extremist organizations; and its educational programs that promote tolerance. The SPLC classifies as hate groups organizations that it considers to denigrate or assault entire groups of people, typically for attributes that are beyond their control.
In 1971, Morris Dees and Joseph J. Levin Jr. founded the SPLC as a civil rights law firm based in Montgomery, Alabama.
@lewrockwell could we expect anything less from the soviet poverty law center?
A couple of years ago when I appeared as one of Ron Paul's witnesses (the first one, actually) during his House of Representatives hearings on the Fed, the Democrats got the biggest leftist on the committee to smear, libel, and slander me by repeating the smears, libels, and slanders about me (and virtually all other libertarians and conservatives) by the left-wing hate group known as the Southern Poverty Law Center.
They seem to be like two rotten peas in the same rotten pod.
. . . would be sent to Guantanamo and waterboarded (and worse) if the Soviet Poverty Law Center was around then and had its way.
Bill, you are correct that as of now no one has any idea who is responsible for the horrendous event today in Boston. But both CNN and Esquire magazine long ago went on record blaming "right-wing extremists" for the bombing. They of course are touting the knee-jerk line of the Soviet Policy Law Center whenever something like this happens.

Barik Allahu feek. When I first read this Wahhabi claim on a forum, I wondered what the response to it would be. Masha'Allah you have answered it masterfully. May Allah increase you.
I am not a member of any wahhabi forum, but I read some of their threads from time to time. I must say that your not taking them up on their "challenge", is wise. They truly have no adab and they lack in intellect, therefore it would not be possible to defeat them in a debate. They would never concede anything, even when it is made clear to them.
Keep up the amazing work you are doing, shaykh.
Barak Allahu feekum Sheikh Abu Adam.
Mutajalli is Qadeem. Tajalli is haadith.
They can't grasp this simple little concept.
When it is mentioned that the meanings Allah SWT said eternally, is it because linguitically meanings are not a form of letters, sounds or language? Those meanings expressed eternally, are they the mirror meanings expressed in the Quran?
No, not like that. Allaah's eternal Speech itself is not something we can describe or imagine. The meanings that we understand tell us what Allaah said eternally, with His Speech that is not letters, not sounds, not sequence, without a beginning or end… In short, without a how (modality.) You must not ponder about this, because the reality of Allaah's Speech is not something we can comprehend.

Thousands of Haitian migrants waiting under Texas bridge in squalid conditions
By Omar Villafranca
Updated on: September 17, 2021 / 8:36 PM / CBS News
Thousands of migrants converge on Texas town
Thousands of Haitian migrants converge on Texas border town 01:48
Del Rio, Texas — More than 12,000 migrants — mostly Haitians — have crossed the Texas border and are waiting at a makeshift camp under the Del Rio International Bridge to be processed by Border Patrol.
Food and water are scarce at the camp. With sweltering heat and triple-digit temperatures, migrants are bathing in the Rio Grande and wading back and forth across the river to buy food and water in Mexico.
Nearly 30,000 Haitians have arrived at the southern border in the past 11 months, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Many of them began their journey in South America and made the dangerous trek through the jungle, known as the Darien Gap, that separates Colombia from Panama.
Since July, apprehensions of Haitians have increased 37%, according to CBP. Many don't want to go back to Haiti because of last month's devastating earthquake and the aftermath of the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.
The temporary camp has grown six-fold since Monday and more migrants are expected in the coming days.
Del Rio Mayor Bruno Lozano made a disaster declaration Friday. "I had thought that the alarm was sent on Monday. This is setting the nuclear bomb alarm that this is no longer sustainable or acceptable," he said.
Congressman Tony Gonzales, a Texas Republican, is calling on the Biden administration to come up with a solution for the chaos.
"Please get engaged, get involved, do something. This is unsustainable. This is not America. This is not the way things should be," he said. "Folks are coming over and across as if there is no border."
Also Friday, CBP closed the Del Rio Port of Entry and re-routed traffic 57 miles east to the Eagle Pass Port of Entry.
"This temporary closure and shift is necessary in order for CBP to respond to urgent safety and security needs presented by an influx of migrants into Del Rio and is effective immediately," the agency said in a statement. "It will advance and protect national interests and help ensure the safety of the traveling public, commercial traffic, and CBP employees and facilities."
After halting deportation flights to Haiti after last month's earthquake, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement resumed those flights this week, Department of Homeland Security officials told CBS News.

Androstadienone, also known as androsta-4,16-dien-3-one, is an endogenous steroid that has been described as having potent pheromone-like activities in humans.[1] The compound is synthesized from androstadienol by 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, and can be converted into androstenone (a more potent and odorous pheromone) by 5α-reductase, which can subsequently be converted into 3α-androstenol or 3β-androstenol (also more potent and odorous pheromones) by 3-ketosteroid reductase.[2]
Androstadienone is related to the androgen sex hormones; however, androstadienone does not exhibit any androgenic or anabolic effects. Though it has been reported to significantly affect the mood of heterosexual women and homosexual men, it does not alter behavior overtly,[3][4][5][6] although it may have more subtle effects on attention.[7]
Androstadienone is commonly sold in male fragrances; it is purported to increase sexual attraction. Androstadienone, in picogram quantities, has been shown to have "significant reduction of nervousness, tension and other negative feeling states" in female subjects.[8]

Senate Intel Committee Surprised by Atty Gen Sessions' Request to Testify
By Susan Wright | 8:30 AM on June 12, 2017
Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala. pauses as he speaks to media at Trump Tower in New York, Thursday, Nov. 17, 2016. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
Apparently, the plan to have Attorney General Jeff Sessions testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee this week came via a written request from Sessions, himself.
The move shocked some members of the committee. Sessions was scheduled to speak before Senate and House Appropriations, but will be sending his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, instead.
The committee has not confirmed the Tuesday date for Sessions' testimony and are still discussing whether to allow him to testify in open or closed session, or both, as former FBI Director James Comey did last week.
The concern is that Sessions may have been attempting to get the jump on the committee by coming forward now, in order to avoid testifying in an open session. His previously scheduled testimony before the Senate and House Appropriations Committee was to be open.
Then again, this is coming directly on the heels of James Comey's testimony, and it is very likely that he is looking to respond.
Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, also a member of the intelligence panel, sent a letter to panel Chairman Richard Burr of North Carolina and Warner asking for the hearing to be open.
A Justice Department official told CNN on Sunday that department officials expected the hearing would be closed but said the final decision was up to the Senate committee.
The theories behind why Sessions requested to appear are varied. Whether it's to avoid giving open testimony, or clarify last week's statements by Comey, we may not get the full picture until Tuesday.
I've heard some say President Trump is sending Sessions on a mission to clamp down on what James Comey has already said, with hopes of derailing this investigation, once and for all.
Then there's the theory that, given previous reports of Trump's anger with Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia probe, Sessions is about ready to hop off the Trump train, and this is one way to do it – by telling what he knows.
Whatever the case, who doesn't believe that Trump has reached out to Sessions about his testimony, on some level?

On 23 and 24 August 2017, ICC participated in the fourth Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) workshop on advertising standards in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to discuss the establishment and implementation of effective advertising standards across the Asia-Pacific region.
ICC participated in a panel on "Establishing and Aligning Ad Standards" to discuss the benefits of advertising standards for consumers, regulators and companies. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the ICC Code, Ms Martin recalled that the APEC Policy Support Unit report referred to the Consolidated ICC Code of Advertising and Marketing Communications Practice (the ICC Code) as the globally accepted best practice principles and reiterated the Code's role in helping build consumer trust by using high ethical standards and marketing products responsibly.
Since the first APEC advertising standards meeting in Hanoi in 2012, APEC economies have sought to promote the adoption and effective implementation of advertising standards consistent with international best practice. Five years on, the aim of this workshop was to address APEC ministers' instructions in 2016 with regards to "promoting the alignment of advertising standards and reducing the cost of doing business across the region" and to "prepare a five year implementation strategy." On this occasion, the 2017 APEC conference reflected on achievements made and challenges faced since 2012, with reference to specific case studies and best practices in key sectors, in order to set out important action plans for further development of effective advertising standards.
The workshop, entitled "From Principles to Implementation" brought together important government and advertising industry participants from APEC economies to advance the APEC Action Agenda on Advertising Standards and Practice Development and examined how APEC economies can implement these recommendations with key indicators for doing so. In 2014, APEC Leaders adopted the APEC Action Agenda which established overall principles for facilitating effective and efficient cooperation and the establishment of a more focused and aligned set of systems of advertising standards across the Asia-Pacific region and set out steps APEC would take between 2015 and 2017.
This year's conference featured a series of discussion panels during which notable speakers from both international and national regulatory organisations, as well as major private-sector companies, shared their experience and expertise in implementing advertising standards. Raelene Martin, Project Manager for the ICC Commission on Marketing and Advertising, represented the International Chamber of Commerce in advocating for the alignment of industry standards and the benefits of self-regulation.
On the second day of the conference, ICC was represented on a panel entitled "Delivering Responsible Advertising in Key Sectors", which discussed best practices for monitoring digital advertising. Both discussions emphasised the role of advertising as an important driver of economic growth and re-asserted the benefits for aligning advertising standards. The importance of aligning advertising standards to facilitate international trade—one of ICC's central missions—was also reaffirmed.
The ICC Code, developed by the ICC Commission on Marketing and Advertising, is the gold standard for the most nationally applied self-regulation around the world. The ICC Code celebrates its 80th anniversary this year and has served as the foundation and building block for self-regulatory structures around the world and offers a globally consistent baseline for economies developing advertising principles while also providing flexibility for local laws and culture to be reflected in a local code. It is a recognised and trusted rule-setting tool for the marketing and advertising industry, and at the same time is noted for its adaptability to local market and policy conditions.

Are the Golden State Warriors the most scrutinized team in NBA history?
Not many teams with a 23-13 record and a second-place seat in a stacked Western Conference can still be called a disappointment at this point of the season. No, unless you're the Golden State Warriors. The defending champs, fighting through numerous injuries to their key players, aren't having the perfect season that many people predicted them to breeze through.
It came to the point that even head coach Steve Kerr believes that the Warriors are the most scrutinized team in league history, something that could still prove to be debatable given the existence of the LeBron James-led Miami Heat in 2011. Here are Kerr's comments on the criticisms that his team is going through, via ESPN's Nick Friedell.
Indeed, the Warriors, with three championships in the last four years, have been the success blueprint in today's pace-and-space style of basketball. On top of already having four All-Stars, the Dubs acquired DeMarcus Cousins during the offseason to shore up their frontline. Because of their successful title runs, many NBA teams have assembled their roster with plans of chasing down the Warriors and eventually catch up to the standard that Kerr and his team have set.
Still, the scrutiny that the Warriors are going through is nowhere near the harsh greetings that the 2011 Heat team endured in every opposing team's arena. Stephen Curry and the rest of the champs are yet to be called villains, and it's safe to say that is not going to happen anytime soon.

Nothing affects the quality of coffee like the quality that is used to process it.
For Nakuru, Kenya, this was their greatest struggle. The borehole at their coffee processing center was broken, and the community couldn't afford to fix it, and they couldn't get any help from their government. That's when we came in.
We knew that this coffee cooperative of 435 families would never get a good and fair price for their coffee if they were washing it with filthy water. We also knew that the borehole that fed the coffee center was the only water source for the community, including the primary school and the health clinic. With special friends in this community, we decided to change this coffee community by giving the gift of clean water.
Because of this renewed access to clean water, the price of their coffee will increase almost 10-fold. Now, the 2,000 families in Nakuru are drinking clean water. The children at the primary school are drinking clean water. The health clinic is using clean water.
We as a team will always have a deep sense of gratitude for the people of Nakuru and the invitation to be a part of their story.
Nakuru is a city located in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya.


Everyone liked Ron Busa. He seemed to have an air about him, which might be described this way: "It's not so bad. I'll show you." And then he told a joke, or challenged you with a riddle, or made a pun, or did anything funny and clever that only he might do.
He sometimes griped, but I think only because he wanted to make things even better, good as he knew they already were. For Ron was a caring person.
I didn't know Ron as an EMT, but I am sure he comforted many stricken people on their way in a Hunters ambulance to a hospital, probably even making them laugh as they had the worries of their lives.
I worked with Ron part time at Canada Dry, where he was proficient with setting up and maintaining specialized equipment. People in the shops and factories he delivered the soda to were happy to see him; he broke the dull routine they might have been in.
Ron would often temper your day so that you got through the rest of it with a smile that others might ask you about. Ron knew; and you knew he shared with you things about life we don't get to win over without some adjustment of the mind.
Ron also made things okay with that rather in-depth smile and laugh that he had.
As a firefighter, Ron was an excellent emergency driver. It didn't surprise me to learn he'd worked for Hunter's Ambulance as well, and then later was a driver for Hunter's Limousine. I can imagine the entertaining rides Ron gave his passengers.
Ron also made us proud as a pump operator of the engine companies. At any big fire, with any number of large fire hoses stretching out of his fire engine (usually Engine 2), Ron was the hub of the octopus. Busy as a man at war and excellent as a scientist in his lab, Ron met the demands for pressured water made by his fellow firefighters at the other ends of the water lines.
And then, back in the firehouse, he'd come with his comedy again. One day he walked into the kitchen in Fire Headquarters on Pratt Street. A few of us were having lunch. On the counter he set down a salt shaker and a small battery. "What's this?" Ron said. We all shrugged. "A salt and battery." That's just one of many Ron Busas I remember. Sorry to see you go, my friend. I am so glad to have known you.
Condolence: We are all so sorry to hear about Uncle Ronnie. Thoughts, and prayers of peace and strength to Rhonda, and his family. We love you.
Condolence: I was so sorry to learn of Ron's passing. He was a wonderful person. I've known him since we went to school together and served on the Meriden Fire Department. We had any good times together. He could always make me laugh with his keen sense of humor. I will miss you my friend.

Was reading a gamestop article and they had a interview with J Allard from Microsoft and he mentioned this about Steve Jobs and Apple.
"[Apple CEO] Steve [Jobs] asked me for one when this thing comes out. "I want to get one of these things. It's pretty cool." And I was like, "You didn't give me much of a break on those 7,000 G5s we bought from you, you know. We'll ship as many as you want, full retail, baby." No, that's not true. Apple was a good partner with the development kit program. So, I don't think it's pro-consumer to do anything like that. I think it's a silly thing to fight over.
I know its been mentioned that Microsoft bought G5's for the xbox 360 just didn't realize how many.
That's more than I can count on my fing-fings!
But seriously, that actually might explain some of the G5 delays. Not kidding.
