4th Circuit (incl. bankruptcy)
Fourth Circuit Holds that Mine Not Liable Under Surface Mining Act When CWA Permit Shield Applies
In Southern Appalachian Mountain Stewards et al. v. Red River Coal Co., Inc., 2021 WL 1182464 (4th Cir. Mar. 30, 2021), a unanimous Fourth Circuit panel recently affirmed a district court holding that an operator cannot be held liable under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (Surface Mining Act) for a discharge that is otherwise shielded from liability by the Clean Water Act (CWA). The court's opinion expressly relied on the Sixth Circuit's decision in Sierra Club v. ICG Hazard, LLC, 781 F.3d 281 (6th Cir. 2015), which reached the same conclusion.
Statutory Background
The CWA prohibits discharges conveyed from a "point source" to navigable waters unless authorized by a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. And under 33 U.S.C. § 1342(k), a facility's compliance with its NPDES permit is deemed compliance with the CWA's standards. Courts have held that the "permit shield" covers all discharges that were "adequately disclosed to the permitting authority."
The Surface Mining Act prohibits surface coal mining without a state-issued permit but does not provide a permit shield. However, it does contain a "saving clause"—under 30 U.S.C. § 1292(a), the Surface Mining Act cannot be "construed as superseding, amending, modifying, or repealing" any provision of certain federal environmental statutes, including the CWA or state laws enacted pursuant to the CWA.
Factual and Procedural Background
The plaintiffs brought claims under the CWA and the Surface Mining Act based on alleged discharges at a now-inactive mine. Operations at the mine were subject to water quality standards in a combined NPDES and Surfacing Mining Act permit issued by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
On summary judgment, the district court held that although the discharges in question were not included in the mine's NPDES permit, they were covered by the CWA's permit shield because the Virginia regulators were aware of them when they issued that permit. 420 F. Supp. 3d 481, 497 (W.D. Va. 2019). Moreover, the district court held that the Surface Mining Act saving clause precludes liability for discharges under the Surface Mining Act where the same discharges fall within the CWA permit shield. Id. at 498.
The plaintiffs appealed, arguing: (1) that the saving clause could not apply because the Surface Mining Act standards were consistent with the CWA, and (2) that saving clauses cannot be used to override substantive statutory provisions.
The Court's Opinion
The Fourth Circuit rejected the plaintiffs' argument that the saving clause applies only where the Surface Mining Act conflicts or is inconsistent with the CWA. "The ordinary meaning of the terms in the saving clause makes clear that the clause does more than prevent inconsistent rules and regulations." 2021 WL 1182464 at *4 (emphasis in original). And regardless, the court explained, there is an inconsistency and conflict between the statutes at issue—the CWA exempts the alleged discharges from liability through the permit shield, while the Surface Mining Act does not. Id. at *5. Therefore, finding liability under the Surface Mining Act substantive standards would effectively supersede, modify, or amend the enforcement provisions of the CWA permitting regime. The saving clause does not allow that. Id.
The court also suggested that its interpretation of the saving clause would not fundamentally alter the Surface Mining Act because it regulates all aspects of surface mining, not just discharges to water.
As the court noted, "the existence of the saving clause is a clearly expressed congressional intention" that the mine's permit "should protect it from liability when it complies with the provisions of that permit." Id. at *5 (internal citation and quotation marks omitted). As a result, this ruling should help provide certainty for CWA permit holders who adequately disclose discharges to the permitting authority and comply with the provisions of their permits, particularly for sources in the Fourth Circuit.

Seth Rogen Offers Status Updates on 'The Room,' 'Console Wars,' 'Preacher' and Kevin Hart Comedy
Posted on Friday, May 2nd, 2014 by Germain Lussier
When you're one of the most popular comedic stars in the world, things tend to get a bit busy. Right now Seth Rogen is promoting the hilarious Neighbors, which opens May 9. He then has to finish his second co-directorial gig, The Interview, out in October. He's also working on an animated film called Sausage Party, and his second film with director Jonathan Levine and co-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt was just slotted for a December 2015 release.
That's not the half of it. While those are the next three things immediately on Rogen's schedule, he's also simultaneously developing numerous other projects. We asked Rogen about the most anticipated of his upcoming projects, and have the updates below. He told us how post on The Interview is going, how far along the Preacher TV show is, a bit more about this buddy cop comedy with Kevin Hart, as well as the Nintendo vs. Sega film Console Wars and James Franco's film about Tommy Wiseau's The Room. Read quotes about Seth Rogen upcoming movies below.
Here are Rogen's updates on his new films. You can read the rest of the interview, where we talked about Neighbors, Zac Efron, and his comedic legacy, next week.
The Interview:
It honestly might be my favorite thing we've ever made. It's totally crazy and insane and it feels oddly smarter than some of our other movies maybe. I'm very proud of how it looks, I think visually we took a major leap forward. And we've been testing it and audiences have been really, really, really digging it. I'm psyched about it.
Preacher:
Me and Evan are writing it write now with the help of Sam Catlin and we've come up with a lot of incredibly crazy ideas. [Laughs] It's a fun thing to riff on and talk about. We're definitely trying to expand on some of the ideas in the comic and make it that…we love most of the main cornerstones of the comic but we're trying to make it that even if you've read the comic you should not know exactly what to expect from the TV show.
Kevin Hart/Nicholas Stoller comedy:
That they're rewriting right now. It's such an awesome idea. My friend Rodney [Rothman] came up with it; we were working on Undeclared I think is when he first mentioned it. It's a period movie about the first black cop and white cop who ever teamed up, basically. And they go undercover on the jazz scene to try and arrest jazz musicians for smoking weed. And there's a chance we'd shoot that after the Christmas movie.
Console Wars:
We are producing right now, also, a documentary on it and the book just came out written by Blake [J. Harris]. So me and Evan are starting to work on the screenplay for the movie of that. We're still kind of wrapping our heads around the emotional side of the story. But I think it's going to be interesting.
The Disaster Artist, behind the scenes of The Room:
The Room movie I think we just hired two writers on. I'm not sure their deal is closed but they're very exciting, well-known writers that will make the movie incredibly awesome. It's been really fun to work on that movie too. The book is so crazy and we've been a fan of [The Room] for so long. And if anyone is weird enough to pull it off, it's James Franco.
Next see Rogen in Neighbors and check back this week for more on that film from him and director Nicholas Stoller.

Battle Arena Toshinden (バトルアリーナ闘神伝 Batoru Arīna Tōshinden) is a weapons-based fighting game developed by Tamsoft and published by Takara and Sony Computer Entertainment in 1995-1996 for the PlayStation, Sega Saturn, Game Boy, and PC. It was one of the first fighting games to boast polygonal characters in a 3D environment, and it is credited for taking the genre into "true 3-D" due to its introduction of the sidestep maneuver.The game was originally promoted as a PlayStation exclusive, with Sony initially promoting it as a "Saturn killer" (against Sega's Virtua Fighter), but it was ported to the Saturn with additional features less than a year later. Once fighting games like Tekken started emerging, Battle Arena Toshinden quickly declined in popularity, but still did spawn a series of sequels. It was the first 3D weapons fighter, and was succeeded in spirit by Soul Edge and other games of the genre.

Konami currently holds the rights to the franchise after Hudson Soft was absorbed into the former company in 2012.[1]The series began in 1997 under the name Beastorizer. The game's theme incorporated anthropomorphism, where the player has the ability to transform into a half-human, half-animal creature known as a Zoanthrope (the name came from the clinical term, 'zoanthropy', which is similar to that of lycanthropy). The game would appear under the name "Bloody Roar" when ported to the PlayStation in 1998, which would become the permanent title thereafter.

Terminated Lease Brings Flood of Space to Forefront
MIAMI-Office experts weigh in on Downtown's three buildings to be delivered in 2010.
By Crystal Proenza | February 25, 2009 at 06:12 PM
(Crystal Proenza is associate editor of Real Estate Florida.)
MIAMI-After the Foram Group's Brickell Financial Center lost its anchor tenant, the law firm of Bilzin Sumberg Baena Price & Axelrod LLP, last week, the reality of the flood of unleased office space about to be delivered to the local market came to the forefront. Two of the three class A projects coming on to the market by mid-2010 do not have any tenants signed to date, and local experts say Downtown Miami will be flooded with available space when development is complete, but remain confident the new space will eventually be absorbed in the growing city.
Neither Foram Group nor Bilzin Sumberg would comment on the mutual release agreement for the 115,000-square-foot, 10-year lease at Brickell Financial Center, but Foram Group CEO Loretta Cockrum says the building is still expected to be delivered on schedule. "We have approximately, 320,000 square feet of prospects with several having signed letters of intent within the past 10 days and several more are expected to sign letters of intent within the next couple weeks," she tells GlobeSt.com.
Competing building 1450 Brickell, being developed by Rilea Group, has 588,000 square feet of office space coming online without any signed tenants as of yet. "We are under a confidentiality agreement with roughly 250,000 square feet of tenants," Rilea Group president and CEO Alan Ojeda tells GlobeSt.com.
Downtown's third building under construction, Met 2, is currently 40% leased to multiple tenants including signed anchor Greenberg Traurig LLP, which is to occupy 150,000 square feet within the project's 750,000 square feet of office space. Developers MDM Development Group and MetLife are close to signing another 100,000 square feet, says Mel Roth president of Parkland, FL-based International Mortgage and Equity Advisors, who arranged the debt and equity for Met 2.
Despite the positive attitude of the developers, there is much speculation in the market as to whether all three buildings will be completed in the original time frames, says Carter Hopkins, first vice president with CB Richard Ellis. "I don't think any building owner would be satisfied with opening a building with 20% occupancy," he says. However, he points out that Miami historically is not a preleasing town.
"People will have to walk through the buildings and see for themselves the quality and access each of them offer," agrees Ojeda. He predicts that the region's newest projects will not have a problem getting filled after they are delivered because they have a competitive advantage being the only downtown structures built under the new hurricane code.
"Tenants can stay in a 30-year-old building that has limited parking, or they can go to one of the new class A buildings that are green and high tech," says Roth, adding that some tenants are still in expansion mode. John Sumberg, managing partner at Bilzin Sumberg, confirms that after ending its lease agreement at Brickell Financial Center, the firm is still seeking expanded space in Downtown Miami.
"We are looking at all of the options in the area that have 100,000 square feet, which include new buildings, old buildings or the building where we are," he says of the company's space at the Wachovia Financial Center at 200 S Biscayne Blvd., where it occupies 85,000 square feet. The firm needs to be in a new location by the end of 2010, and will probably make a decisions in the next four to six months, he reveals.
As for the future of the Downtown market, Sumberg says three new buildings is more than the region needed in good times. The state of financial institutions, which usually serve as major tenants in new buildings, isn't helping the situation either.
"Regardless of whether or when any of these new buildings come online, we're headed to a higher vacancy than we are now, and we're already at 10%," says Hopkins. And, on top of the nearly two million square feet in those three projects, don't discount another 300,000 square feet coming online at the Omni Center just north of Downtown, adds Cushman & Wakefield senior director Alan Kleber.
"Every day that goes by, the market deteriorates," Kleber tells GlobeSt.com, but it also gets closer to what he calls an "epic" tenant's market. "There's no better time than now to be a tenant as it relates to attempting to restructure leases in order to mitigate expenses."
Land is getting expensive, even in the outer-ring suburbs.

Q: Vue-router doesn't seem to load the default route on page load I set up my Vue 2.0 project with vue-router and vue-cli. Each page in my project is a separate .vue component wired together by routes.
This is my router/index.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import Router from 'vue-router'
import Login from '@/components/Login/Login'
import Component1 from '@/components/Component1/Component1'
import Component2 from '@/components/component2/component2'

When I run my project with npm run dev command, it loads the login page as intended, in URL localhost:8080/#/.
Problem:
After I type in my user name and password in the login page, the app redirects me to the same login page with URL localhost:8080/?#/. Notice the question mark before the hash. At this point I am forced to type in my username and password once more, so that it routes me to the correct URL (in this case localhost:8080/?#/component1 etc).
When I go to the URL directly  localhost:8080/?#/, then this problem does not occur. How do I solve this problem? I don't want users to type in their credentials twice.

A: I solved the problem myself after seeing Daniel's comment by replacing the <form> with <div> in my login page.

AirAsia India is the most dynamic airline in India, today. It paints a picture of a moderate degree of uncertainty, and of the actual reigns of the airline being with Tony and his team at Malaysia. Also included is Tony's mantra for an airline's success.
Arun Bhatia was neither present nor mentioned.
Tony is no longer is absolutely affirmative, rather, 'Hopeful'.
"I've reached a point where there's no point in making bravado statements".
"This business is tough enough that there are many external factors that prevent you from realising your dream".
Mittu's four month break even target slammed by AirAsia's head of investor relations.
AirAsia's airplane expansion plans downward revised by head of investor relations.
Tony confident of getting India right: "It's not that we are coming in naive into India".
14 month wait and positive response have made AirAsia's vision"much bigger now".
Market large enough: "There is huge scope for all airlines".
AirAsia depends on the government to script its success: "We can't do it ourselves".
AirAsia is all about volumes.
" AirAsia is about democracy: taking [out] all the elements, in an airfare, that is in my opinion are unfair".
Pushing for unbundling of fares, says 15kg 'free' baggage isn't really free.
Focuses on its people: promises to make a cabin crew a line pilot.
The July 3rd press conference held by AirAsia India was intended to signify the official launch of the airline, with Tony Fernandes flying for the first time on his Indian arm's aircraft, to Goa- the place his father is from.
Those present on stage were Mittu Chandilya-CEO AirAsia India, Tony-Group CEO AirAsia, Ratan Tata- the airline's chief advisor, S Ramadorai – Chairman AirAsia India, and R Venkatraman, former executive assistant to Ratan Tata and Executive Trustee of Sir Dorabji Tata Trust. Arun Bhatia, whose Telstra Tradeplace owns 21% stake in the newest airline in India, was not present for the event.
Only Tony, Mittu and Ramadorai stood up to speak. While Ramadorai's speech was just another uninformative corporate talk, Mittu and especially Tony actually spoke about the airline.
Telstra and Arun Bhatia go missing.
Arun Bhatia wasn't just missing, he was missed in the talks. Mittu Chandilya and Tony Fernandes both neither mentioned of Arun Bhatia nor his Telstra Tradeplace. It was only Ramadorai who, after everyone else had spoken, mentioned, "Mr Arun Bhatia, who is one of the promoters, wanted to be here but he expresses his regrets".
In fact, Tony didn't even drop a hint about the other share holder. Said Tony, "When someone mentioned to me that we could potentially have AirAsia India, and that we have to find a partner, there was only one man in my mind, and one company in my mind, at that point, which was Ratan Tata, and the Tata Group".
Tony had learnt from his mistakes at Japan. He gave too much control to the other party, which in that case was a bloated, inefficient, and full service airline. Since then, and even in the case of AirAsia Japan version II, Tony has paired up with two other stake holders, so that the 51% that isn't AirAsia's is split in a way that doesn't give each of the other parties substantial control over the airline. After AirAsia India, he is clear: the airline must be run his way. Which is why Ratan Tata is only an advisor.
For absolute affirmation to an element of doubt: From 'Will' to 'Will hopefully'.
For the first time, Tony was heard saying, with respect to AirAsia and Tata, that "Hopefully together, we will transform Indian Aviation". Tony's speech was interspersed with too many hopefuls.
When The Flying Engineer asked Tony about his unusual usage of the word, Tony responded, "I've reached a point where there's no point in making bravado statements".
He cited an example on how he's transformed aviation. When someone told him about Tiruchi (short for Tiruchirappalli), a Tier II city in South India, he sent out someone from the team to explore the possibility of connecting to Malaysia. Today AirAsia operates two flights out of Tiruchi to Kuala Lumpur, and apparently became the first airline to offer direct international flights to the city, thereby transforming Indian aviation.
Mittu Chandilya had addressed a journalist on how the airline will break even, in which he mentioned discipline as an important basic, "…to a point that we calculate how much paper we're using in the printers, how many cups of coffee that we drink and how many paper cups we're wasting out there. It's not the paisas that we save up, but it's a discipline. It's a discipline that we all believe in".
Which is absolutely right, but Tony made a public comeback at that statement, wondering how and where the money for the previous evening's party, and the day's press conference came from, asking Mittu, in a jovial manner, how many prints he will have to save to make up for the cost of hosting events at one of Bangalore's premier hotels. Tony was right: a cost is a cost, no matter the occasion.
But the disagreement runs far more serious and deeper than that. While Mittu was confident of breaking even in four months, Benyamin Ismail, who is the head of investor relations at AirAsia, reportedly told Anirban Chowdhury of Economic Times that AirAsia India has no chance of breaking even before a period of eight months.
While Mittu had told The Flying Engineer, less than a month ago that the target for the airline is 6 aircraft by the end of CY2014, and 14 aircraft by end of FY2014-15, Benyamin Ismail reportedly painted a different picture to Economic Times, as a target fleet size of three or four by the end of year if the 5/20 rule doesn't change. But Tony had mentioned that there is a need "…to accelerate the planes coming in here".
This is a clear indication of an internal disagreement within the group as a whole. AirAsia India is paints the image of an airline with a disunited voice.
The Flying Engineer asked Tony if efforts were taken to ensure that AirAsia India does not go the AirAsia Japan way. Of course, the airline has learnt from partnering with an airline and just one other party: it now adopts the three way system atleast. The TATAs and Telstra have no operational control over the airline. This allows Tony to enforce the AirAsia model without interference.
"I believe we have the right management team, we have the right partners, we have been flying to India for a while. Tiruchi is a fantastic example of what AirAsia is capable of", says Tony.
But with the airline having modified and changed certain promises and targets, does it show an insufficient homework? "It's not that we are coming in naive into India". Has the 14 months changed anything? "Our vision is much bigger now", encouraged by the high load factors the airline is witnessing.
What's really encouraging is that even if AirAsia misjudged the Indian scene, it is allowing itself to quickly adapt to the environment, rather than sticking to a business plan not cut-out to the subcontinent. As Tony mentioned, "I've reached a point where there's no point in making bravado statements. I'd rather deliver than talk". Dealing with India has had the effect of bringing Tony's feet back on the ground. The country is yet to open up as much as Indonesia, Malaysia, or Thailand.
Adds Tony, "But we're tough nuts. We've been there before, and we've come from two planes to hundreds of airplanes".
To collaborators and competitors: It's not a single sided effort, and it's not a limited market.
"We started this airline with [flying] 2,00,000 people in Malaysia. Today, we're carrying 51 million people. And everyone in Malaysia flies. Everyone in Thailand, and everyone in Indonesia flies. We hope that in India the state government will allow us, to allow the one billion people in India, to be able to fly. We can't do it ourselves, but with a little bit of help, I think we can, and with a vibrant aviation industry, we create jobs, and we create a much more economic power".
But to really tap the masses, the costs must come down. "Obviously we want to reduce the cost as much as possible, and transfer that to lower price of tickets, and we hope that the government of India and the state government, will look at ATF, will look at developing low cost infrastructure,…and going forward- not tax this industry. I think for many people, the airline Industry is for the rich". Tony is determined to change that perception, because it is untrue.
Tony needs airports to understand and support the AirAsia model. "[We need to make] airports understand that today if there are one million passengers, you reduce their [airport]charges, and you get ten million passengers, and you still make more money".
Tony is very optimistic about the new government and the 100 day aviation policy which has a focus on developing low cost airports, which syncs very well with his clear vision. "Allow the common man to fly. Don't allow them to be charged for things that they did not want and then end up having to take a bus for 42 hours, or a train for that long, or more importantly, not travel at all".
Mittu talked of enforcing the low cost discipline in the everyday lives of each of its staff.
1. Be disciplined about costs. (lower internal costs to attract volumes through low airfare).
2. Work with airports to reduce charges. (lower external costs to attract volumes through low airfare).
3. Go places that no one has. (expand the market to generate volumes).
4. Increase frequency. (capture a large share of the volumes).
5. Expand quickly (to distribute costs over volumes).
Tony gave examples of flying to destinations that other airlines thought were unviable, like Tiruchi, which is today served by other competing international carriers as well. It seems like he'd like AirAsia India to be the first in under-served markets which have high potential. In short, keeping off mature markets and focusing on a point to point network which opens up certain "virgin" routes is the way forward.
Tony is thrilled with the officials of certain airports, who understand the point he puts across to them. "The airport is already built, the infrastructure is already in place. Why not allow the airline to use it more, at a lesser cost per passenger?" Initially it may result in the same revenue, and eventually it will result in a greater revenue for the airport through volumes, as air travel becomes more affordable. One such airport is evidently Bangalore's Kempegowda International Airport, which has applied to the Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) to offer discounts and sops to carriers that meet certain criteria.
What's interesting is that clauses have been put in the airport's application that make it specific to certain carriers only, rather than opening it up for all carriers. AirAsia is smart, and is possibly working in a manner that may benefit only itself.
Tony believes that "AirAsia is about democracy. We're about making travel affordable, and taking all the elements, in an airfare, that is in my opinion are unfair". He strongly believes that unbundling of airfares is the only way to lower airfares, because the passenger who isn't carrying a check in bag is actually paying for a passenger who is using the service, as the 15kg free check isn't really free, but factored in the airfare. Further, he believes that 90% of the time, people do not need the on-board food. Rather than stuffing it down the throat of a passenger who doesn't need it, the airfares could rather be lower, and only those who need the bags or the meal may pay for it.
While Tony does mention that AirAsia is a democracy, a true 'democracy' would not have barred fliers from consuming their own food on board. However, there could be reasons, such as undesirable odour in the cabin, certain foods and meals that are highly spill-able, or simply a business decision to promote ancillary revenues on board.
Everyone is familiar with Tony making a smart cargo loader a pilot. But Tony doesn't have to go that far in India, where close to 50% of the 13,000 odd pilots are unemployed. In his very airline, and part of the first flight as cabin crew in charge is Monica Mohani (behind Mittu in the photo to the right), who has her commercial pilot license since five years, and has served with Kingfisher, Indigo, and now AirAsia India as a cabin crew member. Tony openly said, pointing to her, "Good luck to becoming a pilot. That's the final dream. This young lady wants to be a pilot, and we'll make her dream come true".
According to Tony, "for the month of July, average load factors have been in excess of 90%, which shows that the model is something that the people of India have been waiting for". The routes, the aircraft utilisation, and the rate of expansion-which adds capacity-will determine the break even period for the airline, even with those great load factors.
But everything doesn't smell right. With others in the airline talking break even periods and aircraft induction plans different from the CEO, we wonder who really is getting is right. A single voice is lacking. Even the absolute optimism and affirmation is making way for cautious statements. With the competition preferring to prevent AirAsia from making profits, rather than joining hands to take measures to drive down costs in the industry, nobody is getting anywhere. With AirAsia possibly pushing for airport policies that benefit only itself, the competition is getting miffed, and again, nobody is getting anywhere.
Tony has a success mantra, which needs to be sufficiently altered to fit the Indian market. AirAsia Japan was a failure, possibly because the airline did not pay sufficient attention to the partner and the local environment. For AirAsia India, the partners are better, if not right, but somehow the rate at which things are dynamically changing in the airline point to a level of flexibility that is expected of an efficient airline, while also pointing to a tailor that possibly got his measurements wrong.

Dora Akunyili should resign
Source: africanexaminer.com
When Akunyili was in NAFDAC ,we all gave her the support because she was doing very
well then. Today,Akunyili to me is a shadow of herself. She is not projecting the image of
Nigeria very well as the minister of information. Her attitude reminds me of the film
District 9.District 9 is a film in the US described as openly portraying Nigerians as
scum, as inhuman, as cannibals and even openly using Obasanjo's name as the
cannibal head of the depraved Nigerian community. The film is being voted for a Best
Picture Oscar, along with such films as Avatar and the Hurt Locker. According to critics,
this film has done much to rubbish the image of Nigerians in the US.
The role Akunyili is playing in this Yar Adua ill health issue provokes me to re-
assess myself, who I am and where I am going in this world. Akunyili to me is producing
another district 9 movie. Akunyili seems to forget that she is currently the image maker
of this country. She now sees herself as a social critic
Akunyili as Minister of Information and Communication have not been the success many
expected. Controversies with some subordinates and failure to repaint the negative
perception of Nigerians in the global community have been some of her major
challenges. Nothing exceptional was heard from Mrs. Akunyili until the controversy over
the ill-health of President Umaru Yar'Adua enraptured the polity.
Her memo to the Federal Executive Council (FEC) seeking to empower Dr. Goodluck
Jonathan as Acting President to many people is a way to attract cheap popularity. Now
following reports of the return of President Yar'Adua to the country in the wee hours, the
holier than thou attitude were again stirred in the Information Minister who was
compelled to now inform inquisitive newsmen that a few have turned the ill-health of the
President into a desperate game for political merchandise. Akunyili this time around is
saying that she is fed up with the lies of Yar Adua's aides.She now see Yar Adua's aides
as liars.
Dora Akunyili, thanks for your bold and un-Nigerian principles. Unfortunately, it appears
you are at the wrong place at the right time so to say. You are in the process of
destabilizing the polity. As a core member of the cabinet, you should know how to
manage a lot of information about the presidency in order not to create tension in the
country. Castigating your colleagues with an aim of getting your ego boosted is not the
best for the interest of the nation.
As an official person and most especially in the ministry of information, you are not
expected to be divulging everything that transpires at the highest office of decision
making for the sake of the peace and stability of the nation.
The mere fact that you are still sitting there as a minister is a testament to the fact that
you are not that heroin you are pretending to be. You should have resigned honorably
and separate yourself from the people you see as clowns and liars. In case you do not
realize this, you are the chief image maker of Nigeria but instead of image making you
are image rubbishing Nigeria. My advice to you is to resign for you are losing focus

Trump to nominate Milley as next chairman of Joint Chiefs
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he would nominate four-star Army General Mark Milley to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Trump said on Twitter that Milley, currently the Army chief of staff, would take over as the top U.S. military commander from Marine General Joseph Dunford at a date to be determined.
"I am thankful to both these incredible men for their service to our country," Trump said on Twitter.
Later on Saturday, departing the White House for Philadelphia for the annual Army-Navy football game, Trump told reporters that Milley is "a great gentleman, he's a great patriot, he's a great soldier."
Trump's announcement comes months earlier than expected. Dunford would normally remain as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff until a scheduled Oct. 1, 2019, handover.
Speaking to that point, Trump said without elaborating, "They usually give quite a bit of notice for a lot of reasons."
A spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff said that indications were that Dunford would complete his term, but he referred questions on the matter to the White House.
"General Dunford congratulates General Milley on his selection as the nominee to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He has served with General Milley in peacetime and in combat and has the highest regard for his leadership," said Colonel Patrick Ryder.
A spokesman for Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Lieutenant Colonel Mike Andrews, said, "We are aware of the president's nomination and share his confidence" in Milley.
Lindsey Graham, a senior Republican member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, called Milley "a great choice" to succeed Dunford.
Milley is "a battle-tested commander and Pentagon reformer who will be a worthy successor to General Dunford," Graham said in a statement. He called Dunford "one of the most dedicated officers I've ever known."

RICCI V. DESTEFANO: SMOKE, FIRE AND RACIAL RESENTMENT
Leland Ware
Ricci v. DeStefano involved claims that the City of New Haven, Connecticut discriminated against a group of white and Hispanic firefighters who received the highest scores on two civil service examinations. Statutory claims were asserted under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Two separate constitutional claims alleged violations of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. One of these claimed reverse discrimination to the disadvantage of the white and Hispanic firefighters, and the other contended that New Haven created an unlawful racial classification when it declined to promote the white and Hispanic firefighters.

Lyon and Hoffenheim will be under pressure to deliver both points and entertainment on tonight as the sides meet again after a thrilling Champions League encounter in Germany. Lyon have lost just one of their eight home matches so far this season.
Joelinton s injury-time goal sealed a dramatic 3-3 draw for Hoffenheim on home soil on matchday 3 to give themselves hope of reaching the knockout stages. Just four points separate Manchester City (first) and Shakhtar Donetsk (fourth) with Lyon and Hoffenheim sandwiched in the middle of a tight Group F, and Wednesday night looks like it could be vital in terms of shaping the standings. I expecting better game from Lyon.

Shattering the Myths Blocking Inner City Youth from High-Tech Careers
By Stewart Wolpin
Growing up in the South Bronx during the New York City borough's infamous Fort Apache period in the late 1970s, Angel Pineiro Jr.'s lone brush with technology growing up was acting as his father's human TV remote control and adjustable aerial. Pineiro Jr. was ordered to stand by the struggling family's aging RCA and change the channel on Senior's command or be ordered to wiggle the clothes hanger antenna to stabilize the picture. When he graduated high school, the newly-married Pineiro initially studied auto collision repair, but his wife suggested taking some inexpensive computer courses at a Manhattan vocational school.
Even though he constantly had to hide the hole in his sneakers, lacked math skills and couldn't afford a pricey four-year school – even if he had the grades to get into one, Pineiro rose from this humble start and is now senior vice president for technology services at Agilant Solutions.
Pineiro's message is simple: anyone with similar struggling inner-city origins can follow his successful technology career path. And Pineiro has transformed this message into action, founding Tech4All, a series of free events "to support my vision of sharing the good news to underserved and at-risk communities of the wonderful opportunity that exist in the world of technology."
More than 400 parents, teachers, students and recent high school graduates from around Gotham gathered at the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) HQ in the Bronx at the inaugural Tech4All event.
All the Tech4All sponsors and exhibitors – the New York City Department of Education promoting its CTE (Career & Educational Training) vocational program, the UFT, and more than a dozen local and national tech companies including CompTIA – echoed Pineiro's mantra: "to let the people know, especially young men and women of color, that technology careers are available to anyone. It doesn't matter if you are young or old, black, brown, white, straight, gay, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, poor or of a certain class, high school or college grad. The only requirement is that you have an interest in tech."
Achieving Success from Unequal Opportunities
Pineiro's all-inclusive message was echoed by Todd Thibodeaux, president and CEO of CompTIA. Thibodeaux related his own rocky but ultimately successful high-tech career path, overcoming a similar lack of educational and economic resources as Pineiro's. He left high school for a "career" in welding but realized that was no career at all. Like Pineiro, Thibodeaux' own long and winding tech career road informed his work at CompTIA to make tech careers more accessible.
"We need to break the monopoly on college and university degrees being the only pathway to high tech jobs," Thibodeaux asserted. "How can we create a system that's going to allow people to quickly acquire the skills they need to get jobs in the job market? Today in the tech industry in the U.S., there are 800,000 open tech jobs. 800,000 – put that in perspective. There are about 12 million people who work in tech. So almost 7 to 8 percent of the entire workforce is open right now. And employers are saying 'we can't find people.' They talk about this skills gap. We need to find a different mechanism that allows people to get those skills."
One way to break the college monopoly is to shatter the pervasive myths associated with – and often blocking – achieving a career in tech, including the myth that mad math skills is also a pre-req.
"There are very few people who use advanced math in technology," insisted Charles Eaton, CEO of Creating IT Futures and author of the book "How To Launch Your Teen's Career in Technology: A Parent's Guide to the T in STEM Education." Sixty percent of high-tech jobs have nothing to do with that. They're in cybersecurity. They're business analysts helping one part of the business translate what they need into the tech world. They're doing project management. They're doing networks and supporting the technology in a business."
Many of the Tech4All speakers advised that employers are looking for not only hard technical skills, but, equally important, so-called "soft" skills. "Can they show up every single day? Can they work as a team? Can they get along with other people?" Eaton rhetorically asked. "Can they communicate and can they get through any struggles they might have? Overcome barriers and problem solve? That's really, at the end of the day, what employers are looking for. You put all that with some tech skills, and you've got a pretty fully-formed person there."
Proof-of-Concept CTE Success Stories
Replacing math wizardry and a pricey four-year degree is the 21st century version of vocational training, such as New York City Department of Education's CTE program. Like old-fashioned vocational training, CTE supplements standard high school academics with career-based high-tech training that includes hands-on, skill- and worked-based learning, internships and apprenticeships to gain real-world experience, networking with industry professionals to open employment doors, and earning certification and licenses.
"New York City's graduation rate for a high school students is 76 percent," reported UFT president Michael Mulgrew. "Our 70,000 students in career and tech ed programs have a graduation rate of 83 percent, and that's pulling the rest of the school system up. You can then get into a job that you can make your life's work, that's fun for you, then you're going to have a pretty damn good life."
Tech4All presented living examples of Pineiro's no-4-year-college, CTE philosophy as a path to a fulfilling high tech career in the form of testimony from corporate executives from a diverse collection of companies including Verizon Enterprise Sales, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, cybersecurity firm Friedman CyZen, MorganStanley, and the National September 11th Memorial & Museum, along with a team from the Brooklyn STEAM Center who demonstrated their 3D printing innovations, and the independent WebGuyz immersive learning education program.
"With more than a million open positions and salaries double the national average wage, a career in tech is a great opportunity," Pineiro said. "And the best part is, as a skills-based industry, a college degree is no longer the only path to many of these jobs."
's lone brush with technology growing up was acting as his father's human TV remote control and adjustable aerial. Pineiro Jr. was ordered to stand by the struggling family's aging RCA and change the channel on Senior's command or be ordered to wiggle the clothes hanger antenna to stabilize the picture.

Q: Does the Managed Xamarin HttpClient Implementation support TLS 1.2? The official Xamarin documentation for App Transport Layer Security (iOS, Android) states that the managed HttpClient implementation does only support TLS 1.0. It strongly recommends updating Xamarin Apps to native HttpClient implementations to support TLS 1.2. Visual Studio states this as well:

However, the documentation is contradictory. When describing the managed HttpClient implementation, it states something like:

It is not fully integrated with the OS (eg. limited to TLS 1.0).

The documentation later has contradicting statements like:

Beginning with Xamarin.Android 8.3, HttpClientHandler defaults to Boring SSL ... It supports TLS 1.2+.

Furthermore, this very helpful Xamarin blog post states that TLS 1.2 is indeed possible with the managed HttpClient implementation by choosing the SSL/TLS option "native TLS 1.2" (which is the default on iOS and cannot be changed on iOS).
Last, but not least, I tested the HttpClient of the current stable Xamarin version1 against https://www.nist.gov, which only supports TLS 1.2. I verified that the server only accepts TLS 1.2 with:
openssl s_client -connect nist.gov:443 -no_tls1_2

If the managed HttpClient implementation really does only support TLS 1.0, I would expect that the following connection fails:
var client = new HttpClient();
var result = await client.GetStringAsync("https://www.nist.gov");

However, the connection succeeds with the following settings:

*

*iOS: HttpClient implementation Managed

*Android: HttpClient implementation Managed (HttpClientHandler) or Default, and SSL/TLS implementation Native TLS 1.2.

This leads me to the following questions:

*

*Is the Xamarin documentation outdated when stating that the managed HttpClient implementation does only support TLS 1.0?

*Is my test against the https://www.nist.gov valid? Does it indeed show that the managed HttpClient implementation supports TLS 1.2? Or am I missing something?

1 Visual Studio 7.5.2 (build 40), Xamarin.iOS 11.12.0.4, Xamarin.Android 8.3.3.2

A: If you use the "native" handler (Android or iOS) it is using the native APIs to implement the HttpClientHandler features and thus is "platform dependent" upon whether or not TLS1.2 would be supported, i.e. Android 5/API-21 does not natively support TLS1.2, most Android developers use a 3rd-party lib...
When you enabled "native SSL/TLS" is it using Google's BoringSSL (that is now included into your app bundle) and not the native platform APIs. Thus TLS1.2 is supported even with the "Managed" HttpClientHandler. This option allows the ".Net framework/Mono" to support the latest SSL/TLS on iOS & Android, such as .Net Sockets, WebClient, etc.. and of course HttpClient.
https://www.nist.gov Test:
Android Handler / Managed SSL    :  No exception
Managed Handler / Native SSL/TLS :  No exception
Android Handler / Native SSL/TLS :  No exception
Managed Handler / Managed SSL    :  Error: SecureChannelFailure

SecureChannelFailure:

Q: MAC_install4j6: Unable to detect Java MAC OS X - Yosemite and El Capitan
I have made an installer using install4j 6.1.2(32 bit) and installed on MAC machine but it doesn't detect Java.

Java 6 and 1.8 is already present but still getting message,

I have tried with different combination

Java min = 1.6 & min = 1.7 same message "Need at least 1.7..." &
  for min = 1.8 & max = 1.8 : "You need at least java 1.8 ..."

So is it searching for 32 bit java? or there is some other issue? How do I resolve this?

A: You can debug the JRE search sequence by launching the installer from the command line like this:
INSTALL4J_LOG=yes installer.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub

For Java 7+, you have to make sure to select "Installed Oracle JRE" on the "JRE" step of the media wizard.
Also, on the "General Settings->Java Version" step, the "JRE search sequence" has to contain the "Search Window registry and standard locations" entry.


What to do to fill the waking hours? That's a question that each person would need to answer for him/herself. Unless you've spent time in a monastery or in solitary confinement it's unlikely that you've had to deal with this issue. The only activity not proscribed is thinking. Imagine if everyone in this country had the opportunity to do nothing but engage in uninterrupted thought for one full day a year!
A national day of absolute solitude would do more to improve the brains of all Americans than any other one-day program. (I leave it to the lawmakers to figure out a plan for implementing this proposal.)The danger stems from the fact that a 24 period for uninterrupted thinking could cause irrevocable upheavals in much of what our society currently holds sacred.But whether that would improve our present state of affairs cannot be guaranteed.

Semi vs. Train Accident
On October 22, 2018 Deputies were called to mile marker 50 (just east of Wallace, NE) on State Highway 23 for an injury accident. It was reported a semi-tractor trailer struck a train. Deputies arrived on the scene and found a semi driven by forty-eight year old Daniel Rollenhagen of Wallace was westbound on Highway 23. The driver approached the railroad crossing and observed a train sitting on the tracks, completely blocking the roadway. The driver attempted to stop but could not avoid the collision with the train. This particular crossing does not have flashing lights or crossing arms.
At least two empty grain cars were pushed off the tracks and blocked the Highway for most of the night. The Nebraska Department of Roads responded to assist until the damaged cars could be removed. Mr. Rollenhagen was wearing his seatbelt but suffered what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries; he was transported to Great Plains Health in North Platte, NE. Drugs and alcohol were not suspected to be the cause of the accident. The investigation continues.

Following the closure of the pre-school in July 2016, the Parish Council has explored ways of re-starting it. Surveys have established that there is a demand within the parish. The issues to be resolved are: who will run it; staffing; and where it would be.
Running the school. The primary school has made it clear that it is not interested in running a pre-school, so the best solution would have to be a group of parents. This is how it ran successfully until last summer.
Staffing. Clearly, qualified staff would have to be recruited. This is not seen as a problem, especially as the primary school has offered help in recruiting.
Premises. These would have to be found. Regrettably, the primary school is not prepared to accommodate a pre-school as it did before. If a group of parents showed interest, however, the Parish Council would give all the assistance it could to locate a site.
If anyone is interested in exploring setting up a pre-school, please contact the Parish Council.


"I don't think justice was done here today," union President Kevin Graham said.
CHICAGO — The union that represents Chicago Police is pushing for Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx to be investigated over her office's handling of the Jussie Smollett case.
In communications obtained by the Chicago Tribune, Foxx asked Police Supt. Eddie Johnson to turn the Smollett investigation over to the FBI. Foxx did so after she exchanged texts with one of Smollett's relatives, the Tribune reported.
But Graham, who had called for Foxx to be investigated earlier this month, said he's curious why Foxx's office dropped charges against Smollett and again asked for federal authorities to investigate.
The State's Attorney's office's move was also criticized by Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Johnson — though neither directly attacked Foxx.
In a statement, the State's Attorney's office said it decided to drop the charges because Smollett was forfeiting $10,000 to the city and had done volunteer work in the community.
The State's Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the union's calls for an investigation.


Providing benefits to communities affected by a project can help a company to obtain and maintain a "social license to operate," and manage project risks and stakeholder expectations. There are many different channels that companies can use to deliver these benefits. Depending on the channel, determining the appropriate implementation vehicle can be a key strategic decision. For a company that has selected community investment as a way to deliver benefits, this decision is particularly important. This Guide specifically explores the use of foundations, trusts, and funds (collectively referred to as "foundations" throughout this document) to deliver community investment (CI). The Guide does not intend to encourage or discourage companies from establishing foundations; rather, it lays out a process for deciding whether a foundation can be a viable implementation model and helps companies understand related risks and opportunities.

The varsity girls soccer semifinal game was hard fought but ended in a 1-3 loss for the Highlanders against Rice Memorial High School.
The game started off with a goal from Rice at 31:41. Rice scored once again at 28:32 and then finally at 14:08. Emma Ravelin scored the first and last Harwood goal during the second half with 9:24 left on the clock.
With so many shots on the Rice goal throughout the first half, the girls have to give their goalie props for some great goaltending. The support from the crowd for Harwood didn't stop even after the buzzer sounded. Endless love and support for the team was thrown from students, staff and especially parents. This is sure to be a season to be remembered by some of the younger players and we're sure team captains Tanum Nelson and Rubi Murphy won't forget it soon either.
"Obviously the season didn't end the way we hoped," said Murphy. "But as a team we grew a lot this year and this team was very fun, we all showed up for each other and it was filled with people I wanted to surround myself with. I wish them luck and can't wait to watch them play and grow and go far in the future."
We also wish the younger players luck in their future seasons and the senior players luck in all their future endeavors.
