Tag Archives: dc comics original animated film
By Jasomania
Before we get in to the movie we have to address the elephant in the room. There is no way to talk about this movie without first thinking about the Taylor Swift song. I'm sure that DC Animation Studios picked the name for this movie way before Taylor Swift released 1989 but it doesn't really matter at this point. The name Bad Blood will forever be associated with Taylor Swift and we just have to deal with it. It's Taylor's World, we are just visiting. So that being said here is the music video for Bad Blood so you can just have it playing in the background while you read the rest of this post.
While this is a stand alone film it lives in the same world and continuity of the Son of Batman films. The first film of this series is Son of Batman, followed by Batman vs. Robin, bringing us to the third entry Batman: Bad Blood. While all these movies live in the same continuity you definitely don't need to see the first two films to understand what is going on in Batman: Bad Blood. There are a couple of little nods to the first two films but it is mostly original material.
This film is loosely based on the 2009 Comic Book event Batman: Battle of the Cowl. The key word here is loose. Battle of the Cowl takes place following Batman R.I.P. where Batman was killed (kinda) and was lost in the time stream to become Batman during various ages in time. Bat-mite is involved, its written by Grant Morrison and barely comprehensible (comics be crazy yall). So Batman: Bad Blood is like that, in that Batman is out of commission and Nightwing (Dick Grayson) takes over the mantle of Batman, just for a lot shorter duration.
During the year or so that Batman was out of commission during Batman R.I.P. we were also reintroduce to Batwoman as she took over Detective Comics for issues 854-863. So it's fitting that we also see the modern Batwoman (Kate Kane) introduced in this film. There was a DC Animated film, Batman: The Mystery of the Batwoman in 2003 but this Batwoman isn't anything like the modern new 52 Batwoman. If you want a kickstart into the character of Batwoman, Batman: Bad Blood is your best bet.
The movie starts with typical bust up job where we think we see Batman taking care of business, but surprise, its Batwoman. Batman does wind up joining her and the two take care of the lower level baddies and confront a new villain "The Heretic". The fight moves over a giant catwalk, because of course they do, and Batwoman winds up falling off. Batman saves her but in doing so is stuck in the building as the Heretic blows it up and is persumed dead. Cut to two weeks later and Batman has not been seen since the accident. Nightwing (Dick Grayson) and Robin (Damian Wayne) come back to Gotham to help figure out what happened. I don't want to just spoil the whole thing so I'll just leave it (more or less) at that. Batwing gets involved and the four of them (Nightwing, Robin, Batwoman, and Batwing) have to work together in order to figure out what happened.
The movie is great. It fits in the same tone and world as Son of Batman and Batman vs. Robin so if you enjoyed those movies you'll likely enjoy this one. Because these Batman movies have started to tie together it gives a lot more weight to the events in them and gives you a feeling of actual stakes to these films. There are a couple of deaths in this movie and they have a real impact to them. They definitely aren't just trying to keep the status quo in these films and are taking the story where ever it needs to go.
The introduction of Batwing and Batwoman are done well. We get a lot of backstory on Kate Kane, who she is, why she's doing what she's doing. We don't quite get as much for Batwing. We see his origin on screen but other than a line or two about him being in the military we don't really get a lot of information about him. There is only so much time in these films so I don't fault the film makers that much for it. If you had to choose between spending more time on Kate or Luke, I'd rather it have been Kate.
If you don't already know Kate Kane is a lesbian and this part of her life is in the film. We see her go on an awkward first date with Renee Montoya and her father keeps trying to get her to go out and find a nice girl. This was all handled matter of factly and as a part of who she is instead of her defining characteristic.
We also see Damian has grown a lot as a character since his introduction in Son of Batman. He's no longer blood thirsty and genuinely living by the code of justice, not vengeance. He's no longer just doing this to please Batman but it really seems to be a part of who he is now.
We get a closer look at the relationship between Nightwing and Batman and a explanation of why Dick felt he needed to take up the mantle of Nightwing and leave Gotham. Grayson takes up the mantle of Batman in his absence for the sake of Gotham but only reluctantly. Grayson has been trying to get out of Batman's shadow his entire life and the movie does a good job of inner conflict within him.
We've never gotten a "Marvel Style" teaser at the end of any of these DC Animated films but Batman: Bad Blood may have given us just that. At the very end of the film we see the Bat Signal turn on and Batman, Batwing, Nightwing, and Batwoman all suit up and respond. And then, right before the credits roll, BOOM! Batgirl! We've never seen Batgirl in any of these DC Animated films and not only is this Batgirl but it's the Babs Tarr New 52 Batgirl as well! We haven't heard any announcement of what the next Batman Animated film will be but I would bet money we are finally going to see a Batgirl solo movie.

The Dark Knight Returns Retrospective
Wednesday (11/25/15) the first issue of Dark Knight III: The Master Race was released in comic book stores and digitally so you've probably seen a flood of articles and podcasts talking about Frank Miller's Dark Knight series. This has left me at an impasse, on one hand The Dark Knight Returns is something that has been covered hundreds of times by others more eloquently than myself. However, the Dark Knight Returns is not only my favorite comic, but also my favorite book of all time so I don't really want to let the release of it's newest installment pass without saying something.
I don't want to recap the story and plot of The Dark Knight Returns. It is extremely accessible to get the trade paperback, digital, and even as an animated film. It's been around since 1986 so if you haven't read the story already, it's on you at this point. So what I would like to do is to break down three of my favorite scenes and themes from the story and try to explain why I like it so much.
That the tragedy of Bruce's parents dying being the driving force for him to become the Batman is not a new concept. However, its generally seen as an active driving force in that Batman is actively fighting crime. Since the threat is current and active we can still assume if things cleaned up in Gotham that Batman could quit. The Dark Knight Returns shows just how much Bruce needs to be Batman by showing how empty his life is without it. Bruce has been retired for 10 years and could not be more miserable. The opening pages has Bruce thrill-seeking at a Formula 1 race contemplating ending it all right then and there. Bruce hasn't found anyone to settle down with or tried to start a new life in retirement, he's isolated himself and allowed himself to stew in his anger at not being Batman. The biggest reoccurring themes in this story is Bruce looking for a good death. You get the feeling that he had always intended to die in the line of duty and that retirement was never in his plans. He is the ultimate career soldier. He has lived every day of his life since his parents died preparing and being the Batman so when he was forced to give that up there was nothing left for him to go back to.
The inner dialogue in the Dark Knight Returns is one of my favorite aspects of the book. When Batman fights the Mutant leader (the second time) it looks like a normal brawl brawl on the outside. But hearing Batman's thoughts you see just how much planning and thought is put into every action he performs. Every punch is strategic and executed with surgical precision. Having the fight in the mud pit, luring the leader out in front of his followers, cutting his forehead right above the eyes. Every action has a purpose and every contingency is accounted for. This is Batman at his most Batman. We love the character because he has plan for everything and back up plans for his back up plans. The Dark Knight Returns showcases his skills in a way that is smart, entertaining, and practical which set the standard for the character.
I can't think of another character that has had a rougher treatment than Jason Todd. A lot of backlash came when Kyle Rainer found his girlfriend's dead body chopped up and left in a refrigerator, but it pales in comparison to DC Comics setting up a 1-900 call in number to decided the life/death of Jason Todd. The Dark Knight Returns turned a publicity stunt from DC Comics into one of the defining events of Batman's life. My single favorite moment in the story is when Batman is alone in the Batcave looking at Jason's costume and says never again. It doesn't explicitly say what happened but it is able to convoy all the emotion and meaning with a minimal words and a few panels. It's hard to say that for certain that the impact of Jason's death in The Dark Knight Returns was the reason that Jason Todd stayed dead in the comics for as long as he did, but I like to think they are connected.
If you still haven't read The Dark Knight Returns Comixology is having a sale and you can get it now for as little as $3.96 (each of the individual issues for $0.99) or collected for $6.99 right now so there are no excuses. I also highly recommend the DC Comics Original Animated Film. It is as faithful to the source as humanly possible and more or less uses the comic pages as story boards. You don't get the inner dialogue as you would with the comic but it is still a fantastic film.

The next DC Comics Original Animated Movie is coming out on July 28th and will be a little different than the usual fanfare. Instead of being a movie based on classic story arc from the comic books, this film will be a completely original property from Bruce Timm (the man who created the look of Batman: The Animated Series from the 90's). This will be an Elseworlds story that will be taking a radically different approach to the Justice League we know and love.
In this world Batman is not Bruce Wayne but actually Kirk Langstorm (Man-Bat) and is a Vampire. Superman is still the last son of Krypton but no longer the son of Jor-El. In this world Superman is instead the son of General Zod. Wonder Woman isn't an Amazon in this world but one of Jack Kirby's New Gods named Bekka.
Not only will there be a new movie but there will be a slew of other material as well. First, there is a 3 part web series by Machinama, which you can watch below. DC has already announced will be a second season in early 2016 featuring 10 additional episodes.
There will also be a line of action figures.
And lastly, a daily digital-first comic book. The series will debut digitally on July 1st and release 18 issues daily ending on July 18th. This series will be a prequel that will dig into the origins of the Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman of this new universe (source). You can the first part featuring Batman here on comiXology.
I am planning on going all in and buying the movie along with getting all the issues of the digital-first comic series. It is no secret that I love a good Elseworlds story so this whole thing is right up my ally.

Q: Please help a newbie with blog page issue? https://diarmuidoconnorbooks.com/home/?p=1561
https://diarmuidoconnorbooks.com/home/?page_id=1355
The first link is to my post's permalink. The second is at it appears when you go to the website's blog page from the navigation panel. I have no idea how to make the second link look like the first. It's really bothering me. I've dug around the settings and googled lots, but nothing. Can someone please help?
I'm using Bluehost's BH Website Builder theme.

A: WordPress uses something called Post Types to generate different types of content.
The first URL belongs to a post ( default type ). You can access it under the "Posts" menu.
The seconds URL belongs to a post type called "page", or simply a Page. You can access it under the "Pages" menu.
To achieve what you need, you can make a new post and copy the page's content to it.
A better solution would be to setup pretty permalinks under the "Settings" menu.

The most obvious product choice for a large impressive bridge is the Faller Bietschtalbrücke kit 120535.
The bridge is 110cm long and 115mm wide and is modeled on the prototype in Switzerland.
I have been building Faller kits for about 40 years and I was rather disappointed by the quality of this kit. Despite those issues I was able to make it into the impressive bridge it should be.
The box and all online specifications do not provide the width of the track road bed. It is only 85mm between the walkways. For Märklin K-track this means that the track distance for a double line has to be 55mm where the standard track spacings are 57mm and 64.6mm. In addition, the walkways are about 1.5mm higher than the center so using the full 115mm width of the bridge means one has to install some sort of spacer in the middle so that the tracks do not lean into the middle.
Critical dimensions such as the height and position of the concrete foundations are not published. One needs these to ensure accurate placement in the layout. This means one has to build the kit first and then construct the valley and footings for the bridge.
Most of the parts do not have the usual Faller style ridges and lugs that ensure an exact fit. Girders, walkways, ladders and railing have to be glued into the right place by eye, it is as if one is kit bashing rather than assembling a kit designed to go together exactly.
There are errors in the instructions. Parts have their part numbers interchanged, others are shown in the wrong place in the photograph, or the arrow is to the wrong part.
The concrete foundations are made from the same blue plastic as the bridge instead of a gray concrete color, despite there being gray railings and brown stone parts in the kit.
No holes are provided for the numerous railings that have to be attached to walkways and ladders underneath the bridge. The walkways on the top have holes for the railings, so why not place them everywhere? Gluing railings by the tiny endpoints is very tricky and results in very weak fastenings.
The railings provided mostly seem to be standard general purpose railing and they have to be cut to the right size and or joined together to make them the right length.
There are two access ladders to the walkways under the bridge. The ends of the ladders end in mid air about 2.6 scale meters away from anywhere a human could get to.
The curved archways of the stone supports did not fit the curve of the sidewalls well.
I get the feeling that the design of this kit did not come out of in-house Faller design. I am wondering if it was bought from a third party and then included in the Faller product range.
Here are photographs of the stages and approaches I took during building.
I lightly sanded off burs after removing parts from the sprues.
I decided that the pristine blue structure would need some weathering, but given the fact that the pieces have to be glued 'by eye' with very few positioning lugs, I decided not to risk trying to glue painted parts together wherever possible. I thus constructed the main structure before spraying it a rusty brown color before adding any walkways and railing.
Once the stone arches were assembled I weathered the stonework. First a coat of black paint.
Once that was dry I added some green paint to simulate some moss and also added some calcium and rust deposits.
The concrete foundations got a coat of gray paint.
I decided that the very fragile nature of the railings on the outer edge of the bridge would result in breakage so I opted to leave the second walkway off. The interior walkways are much more protected from damage and parts not used on the outer walkway could be used to create access to the ends of the ladders at the concrete foundations.
I also painted the walkways and then added some silver paint to the steps to simulate the polish that metal gets with foot traffic. Assembly of the walkway railings need some patience and care. I glued one side at a time and held the railing in place with a small clamp.
Before gluing the walkways into the superstructure, I scraped some paint off where contact would be made.
I used some of the parts meant for the exterior walkway to make access walkways to the central ladders from the concrete foundations.
The strip of lights was laid on the top of the bridge facing down. I placed them slightly off center to avoid the large squares on the girder connections.
In order to provide a uniform horizontal upper surface I ordered two packs of steel tread plate made of styrene. The sheets allowed light to shine through so I added a layer of thin plywood from an old hollow door. The tread plates were cut to size and glued onto the plywood and painted.
In order to mount the bridge in the layout I created a U-shaped support from plywood.
Within this support are the two bases to hold the bridge, positioned on threaded bolts so that the height of the bridge could be adjusted accurately.
I advise against assuming that once built, this bridge will be of exact dimensions. This may be why Faller publishes very little about the exact size. Despite extreme care to build this structure with great accuracy, it is not exactly straight and square. I suggest instead that you construct adjustable bases so that its position can be adjusted.
Finally the temporary bridge holding the mainline could be removed and the bridge put in place!
Once the holding bolts had been adjusted it was time for the first test trains!
The lights were connected via a LED pulse width dimmer connected to a K84 module so I can switch the lights from the layout control software.
The next step will be to add the scenery surfaces under the bridge and in the adjoining areas.

Q: How to dynamically show HTML to Google Forms responder, based on their quiz answers? I'm creating a survey which evaluates the 'health' of a user based on their answers.
It's created as a quiz with 'golf-scoring', i.e. the lower the score the better their health, and it should display some graphical result at the end based on their final score (ideally a traffic light style diagram).
The question I'm stuck on is: how to show some HTML to the user? It seems like it should be a fairly straightforward task but I haven't been successful. I'm a developer so am comfortable using App Script, but then this article makes it sound like there's no way to show dynamic content to the user.
We'll be sending an email to them and it seems like this is pretty customizable so I'm able to implement a nice diagram for that, but I'd also like to show this in the form.
Has anyone been successful in using App Script to show some custom UI to the user?

A: It's not possible to show a custom dialog to Google Forms respondents.

UK antitrust watchdog to investigate Facebook acquisition of Giphy
Xeni Jardin 6:02 am Fri Jun 12, 2020
REUTERS/2018
The United Kingdom Competition and Markets Authority, the UKs antitrust watchdog, has begun an investigation into Facebook's acquisition of Giphy.
The deal is valued at around $400 million, and under scrutiny for possibly reducing competition in the United Kingdom.
Facebook is already facing antitrust concerns, and criticism for Mark Zuckerberg's decision to not challenge false posts and comments that incite violence by impeached U.S. President Donald Trump.
From reporting by Reuters on Friday:
The parent of messaging app WhatsApp bought Giphy, a popular website for making and sharing animated images, or GIFs, in May to integrate it with its rapidly growing photo-sharing app, Instagram.
While a formal probe is yet to begin, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) earlier this week served Facebook with an initial enforcement order and on Friday began the first stage of an investigation, inviting comments on the transaction from any interested party. (bit.ly/2B0CX4s)
Facebook, the world's largest social media network, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Giphy sought to quell some of the concerns in a statement. "Everyone will continue to have the same access to GIPHY. We look forward to demonstrating how this partnership is a win for our users, partners, and content creators," it said.

The White House is Boosting Family Leave, State by State
(Image credit: Archives)
By Sarah Burstyn published 25 June 14
Over the last decade, three states have enacted paid family and medical leave laws, but other states have yet to follow suit. To discuss these issues and encourage more states to take similar steps, the White House hosted a summit on working families on Monday to discuss child care, paid family leave, and equal pay.
President Obama pointed to California, New Jersey, and Rhode Island as three states leading the move towards better family leave policies (or any at all) in the United States. The president also announced a proposal offering $5 million to support state-level initiatives offering workers leave to care for new babies or ailing relatives. Obama remarked that family leave and child care "are basic needs," not merely "bonuses." In a blog, The Washington Post wrote, "Allies of Hillary Rodham Clinton told The Post that the issue would be a key part of a potential 2016 presidential bid."
California was the first state to pass a paid leave law back in 2002, offering six weeks of paid leave at about 55 percent of a worker's weekly pay, capped at $1,075. Since the benefits took effect two years later, The Washington Post reports that "about 1.7 million claims have been filed, with 1.5 million of them from parents seeking to take time to care for new children."
New Jersey enacted benefits in 2009, allowing workers to take six weeks of leave to bond with new children or care for a seriously ill family member while receiving two-thirds of wages, maxing out at $595 per week. The most recent state to take action is Rhode Island, where workers became eligible this year to receive up to four weeks of paid leave, based on earnings but limited to $752 per week.
All three states fund the initiatives through an employee-paid tax. Though the benefit is available to both public and private sector workers, many may not be using it because they don't know about it. The Post's blog points to a 2013 study of the New Jersey law in which more than half of survey respondents didn't know much about the program.
According to Monday's summit, Obama hopes to raise awareness of these initiatives so more workers can take advantage of them and other states enact them.

We've had a great start to the 2014-15 school year in health fitness class. It's so exciting to see the kids moving and having fun in the gym!
Now that we have the first two weeks of routines and procedures down we are starting to assess the students.
Third, Fourth, and Fifth graders will be assessed using fitnessgram. It is a program developed by the Cooper Institute and it is required. We assess the student's flexibility, muscular strength, and endurance (VO2 max). We also take their height and weight for the BMI (body mass index) calculation. This test is done discretely where other students cannot see the height and weight of their classmates. The students are told not to share or ask others about their scores.
The fitnessgram assessments are done to help students and parents set goals. These assessments are not to compare one child to another. The reports will be sent home in the mail at the end of the first nine weeks. Please sit down and talk with your child about the results. Help them set goals like: I will stretch for 5 minutes every morning after I eat breakfast.
They will be reassessed in March-April to see the improvement over the school year.
Kindergarten, First, and Second graders are busy learning the locomotor skills (hop, skip, gallop, jump, leap, walk, run, slide) and are being assessed on these skills. They are also working on balance, agility, and space awareness through games and activities.
All grades are learning how to rotate through fitness stations. We are also spending a little time on the new and very fabulous track. Thank you PTA! We will use it more when the weather cools off in a few weeks. We have a weekly jogging program that helps students increase their muscular endurance and strength.
We will be using a behavior system called class dojo this year. It is replacing the daily reminder book. This is our way of keeping documentation on good and bad behavior. We will send a note home if we need your support for good behavior. Otherwise assume your child is behaving well in our class. If you here your child talking about signing the "computer" or" class dojo" this is what they are talking about.
Wear tennis shoes for health fitness (every day is better because there are days the students will come to health fitness on a non-scheduled health fitness day due to teacher meetings).
Bike shorts should be worn under the Nike shorts.
Shorts should be worn under dresses or skirts.

I've written a new AudioPlayer/AudioStreamer for iOS. It's improved upon Matt Mallagher's AudioStreamer by adding queueing, gapless playback, pre-buffering and a simple but extensible data source model (it works with more than HTTP). You can find it at GitHub.
6 Responses to "StreamingKit low latency audio library for iOS"
Hi, I'm studying this project as it is exactly what I need. I've created a music player for iPad and one major MAJOR requirement is gapless play. Do you have any examples on how I can incorporate this for playing multiple songs, one after another? I saw your answer on SO but need a little more info. Thanks in advance.
The idea is to call queueDataSource as many times as you need. You can make all these calls all at once if you know the files you need to play continuously at the start or you can call in when audioPlayer:didFinishBufferingSourceWithQueueItemId: is invoked on the AudioPlayer's delegate.
It's a really good audio streamer. Is there a way to save the audio stream when finish buffering to a file?
It should be straight forward to write a class that extends DataSourceWrapper and writes data (as it comes in) to a file.
How can we resume the music after call interruption, i am messing around since 4 days and no solution at all. can you help me on that.
Hello ! I'm currently on StreamingKit and I'm really stuck with a problem, which I can't find a solution for. Could u please help me?
I really need some help with this issue ASAP, as my whole project is tuck on this ?


I need to let you know that I am actively involved with searching for a new position. Over the past few months I have been forced to see that my time here was nearing its end. Initially I thought that the parish leadership and I could work through it, but now I know it is time to go. It is clear to me, based on the 2011 budget that was put before you, that it is indeed time to leave here and to look for a parish where I might be a better fit. As you may or may not have noticed, I tend to be to the left of center in my theology. Most folks here tend to the opposite direction. I have always had faith that the two could be reconciled, that an Anglican via media would be achieved and a certain harmony could take root which would show that community can overcome ideology. None of this should be new to any of you, especially those who came to see me in Rochester and were part of the conversation here when I was interviewed. I still remember being asked if I would listen to those who disagreed with me. I responded yes, and still maintain that I do listen, but I may not always agree. Lately I find myself disagreeing more and more, mostly over finances, which is a sign that the fit may not be as right as it once was. Most would probably agree that members of the congregation and myself have "found their voice" and are more able to identify who we are. More conservative members have found what really is meaningful to them. I have found that being a liberal progressive who believes in the social gospel is primarily who I am and what I am called to preach. My hope is that Zion will continue in its journey to more clearly state its conservative principals within the context of the Episcopal Church.
As for me, I will be looking for a parish dedicated to marching for the rights of homeless people, and standing up to the centers of power and influence to redistribute the wealth this country produces. Radical left parishes are out there, and I am in the process of finding one. In the course of the next few months, when you see strangers at the door of the church, you can probably assume that they are not here passing through on vacation. They will be members of search committees coming to look at the parish and to hear me preach. That is the flip side of the same process you engaged in six years ago when you came to Rochester. It is my intent to stay in the diocese if I can. Skip and I have a good relationship, and I have good relationships with my fellow clergy. I also enjoy the work I am doing at the diocesan level. However, I am also looking nationally for a church which would be a place where my passions and talents would serve the needs of the people who live there. I can say that I am proud of the work we have done together. We have an active and engaged feeding and clothing program so that some of the needs of the poor can be met. The Stephen Ministry program is involved with helping those who are broken achieve some wholeness. Our participation in the Relay for Life has focused members on a goal which is outside of ourselves. All of those programs are lay led and should continue even after I am no longer here. They are your achievements, and are a testament to your energy and commitment to the life of the parish. I had hoped to stay here for quite a while. I brought my octogenarian father-in-law up here from Alabama to stay with us. You have seen what I have done to my front yard. You know of my plans for a community garden for the city of Rome. My daughter is a freshman at RFA. However, all of these reasons are not enough to make me stay in a place where my needs and passions do not fit the needs and passions of the parish. The decision to leave is difficult and does involve risk to my family's financial situation, but even in the face of that, it is one that needs to be made, even though circumstances have forced me to do so.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency announced today that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's caps for multifamily lending will shrink to $35 billion each for 2018.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency announced today that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's caps for multifamily lending will shrink to $35 billion each for 2018. The determination was based on the agency's projection that the overall size of the multifamily finance market will be slightly smaller than in 2017. Multifamily loans in designated affordable and underserved segments will remain excluded from the caps, and FHFA will review the caps on a quarterly basis.

Decades of speculation about a warmer, wetter Mars climate in the planet's first billion years postulate a denser CO2-rich atmosphere than at present. Such an atmosphere should have led to the formation of outcrops rich in carbonate minerals, for which evidence has been sparse. Using the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit, we have now identified outcrops rich in magnesium-iron carbonate (16 to 34 weight percent) in the Columbia Hills of Gusev crater. Its composition approximates the average composition of the carbonate globules in martian meteorite ALH 84001. The Gusev carbonate probably precipitated from carbonate-bearing solutions under hydrothermal conditions at near-neutral pH in association with volcanic activity during the Noachian era.

Nigel Lythgoe Responds To Adam Levine's Gay 'American Idol' Criticism
Andrew Belonsky August 17, 2011
Singer and The Voice judge Adam Levine didn't hold back in a recent Out magazine interview in which he accused rival show American Idol of covering up its contestants' homosexuality.
"What's always pissed me off about Idol is wanting to mask that, for that to go unspoken," Levine told the magazine. "C'mon. You can't be publicly gay? At this point? On a singing competition? Give me a break. You can't hide basic components of these people's lives. The fact that The Voice didn't have any qualms about being completely open about it is a great thing."
Now Nigel Lythgoe, an American Idol producer and judge on So You Think You Can Dance, has responded, telling Entertainment Weekly that he doesn't consider contestants' sexuality to be a relevant issue for his shows:
I didn't understand why we're talking about contestants being gay or not gay. I don't go into my dentist and say, "Are you gay?" I don't say to contestants on So You Think You Can Dance, "Are you gay?"
What does it got to do with me? What does it got to do with anybody? When does privacy stop in this country?
If somebody wants to say they're gay, it's up to them. You don't expect us to turn around and say, "Are you gay?" Why would we do that? — "By the way, he's a Catholic and he supports Obama and here's his sexuality" — what does that have anything to do with singing talent? Maybe it does for Adam Levine, but not for me.
Lythgoe goes on to discuss Adam Lambert, an American Idol runner-up who came out after his season had ended. "He must have come out before being on Idol, he just didn't talk about it on Idol," said Lythgoe.
He went on: "And why should he [talk about it]? Is every actor going on television going to say, 'I'm only playing the part of a straight man, I'm really gay'? There's no reason that I would see why anybody that goes on television should start coming out with who they are, what they are, what they're sexuality is, who they're going to vote for or what their religion is."
For his part, Lambert says he felt like his sexuality was "out of my control" during his time on Idol, primarily because he was not allowed to do any solo interviews.

Q: Performance disadvantage of using Datasets vs RDD with spark I've rewrite my code partially to use dataset instead of rdds, however I experience significant performance decrease for some operations.
For example:
val filtered = trips.filter(t => exportFilter.check(t)).cache()

seems to be much slower, and CPU mostly idle:

What the reason for this? Is that bad idea to use datasets when trying to access plain objects?
UPDATE:
Here is filter check method:
override def check(trip: Trip): Boolean = {
    if (trip == null || !trip.isCompleted) {
      return false
    }

    // Return if no extended filter configured or we already
    if (exportConfiguration.isBasicFilter) {
      return trip.isCompleted
    }

    // Here trip is completed, check other conditions

    // Filter out trips from future
    val isTripTimeOk = checkTripTime(trip)
    return isTripTimeOk
  }

  /**
   * Trip time should have end time today or inside yesterday midnight interval
   */
  def checkTripTime(trip: Trip): Boolean = {

    // Check inclusive trip low bound. Should have end time today or inside yesterday midnight interval
    val isLowBoundOk = tripTimingProcessor.isLaterThanYesterdayMidnightIntervalStarts(trip.getEndTimeMillis)
    if (!isLowBoundOk) {
      updateLowBoundMetrics(trip)
      return false
    }

    // Check trip high bound
    val isHighBoundOk = tripTimingProcessor.isBeforeMidnightIntervalStarts(trip.getEndTimeMillis)
    if (!isHighBoundOk) {
      metricService.inc(trip.getStartTimeMillis, trip.getProviderId,
        ExportMetricName.TRIPS_EXPORTED_S3_SKIPPED_END_INSIDE_MIDNIGHT_INTERVAL)
    }

    return isHighBoundOk

  }

  private def updateLowBoundMetrics(trip: Trip) = {
    metricService.inc(trip.getStartTimeMillis, trip.getProviderId,
      ExportMetricName.TRIPS_EXPORTED_S3_SKIPPED_END_BEFORE_YESTERDAY_MIDNIGHT_INTERVAL)
    val pointIter = trip.getPoints.iterator()
    while (pointIter.hasNext()) {
      val point = pointIter.next()
      metricService.inc(point.getCaptureTimeMillis, point.getProviderId,
        ExportMetricName.POINT_EXPORTED_S3_SKIPPED_END_BEFORE_YESTERDAY_MIDNIGHT_INTERVAL)
    }
  }


The Seahawk Lounge is like that old couch in your home; you don't know why you keep using it but if you got rid your living room would never be the same again.
The 'living room' that is Hulme is about to change forever as The Seahawk Lounge on Bold Street shuts its doors for good.
Going the same way as the 'Seven Sisters' block of flats that once towered over the little pub, the Seahawk will be demolished.
Trafford Housing Trust have acquired the land and it is thought it will form part of a huge new housing complex along with the land where the Seven Sisters used to be.
After 16 years at the helm, landlord Hupton Harriett held a final farewell at the Hulme local on Wednesday 7 January.
He has finally given in to Trafford Housing Trust, who have been trying to buy the Seahawk and the land it sits on for years.
Mr Harriett, who plans to retire at home in Stretford, was ordered to vacate the premises by noon on Saturday 10 January.
He spoke of his disappointment at the pub closing and how he has been treated, "In 16 years I've only had one quiet weekend due to a misunderstanding when police got involved.
He was given no form of compensation for his services.
For years the Seahawk Lounge has been a pillar of the Hulme community. The rarely- changed venue provided many a memorable night for residents of Hulme, surrounding areas Moss Side and Old Trafford and the further afield Stretford and Longsight.
With the Junction pub also at the centre of closure rumours and other community venues such as the Nia centre hanging on by a thread, the Hulme that we once knew is disappearing and making way for modernised university buildings and student accommodation.
Though this isn't necessarily a bad thing as there is nothing wrong with a much- needed cash injection that will truly put Hulme on the map, it is important that some of the original friendly, relaxed multiculturalism that the area is known and loved for is preserved.


As I described in Preparing for JavaOne I attempted to get my Treo 600 synced using Synthesis SyncML Client and the Sync4J SyncML server. Unfortunately the SyncML server and the Synthesis client are not completely on speaking terms yet. I got the sync process to start, but it never completed, tried to fix it, but no luck.
A different approach is needed to get the session details of JavaOne 2005 in the calendar or my Treo. Bert Ertman described a more k.i.s.s approach and that triggerd me to do the following. Instead of syncing directly to the palm, I now create a vCalender file that can be imported into any application that understands vCalender files. Examples are Evolution, Outlook and the Palm Desktop client. After importing the vCalendar file into one of these applications you can sync your PDA and you're done. Using some shell scripting (based on some prework by Wilfred), a little XSL and Java this was done quickly.
What's next? In the current situation all sessions are imported and there is no notion of what sessions I'm intending to visit. The plan now is to create a web application that allows me to select the sessions I wany to attend. Once selected it will then generate a vCalendar file that adds an extra category to the sessions I want to attend. In my calendar application I can then quickly get an overview of the sessions I want to attend by selecting this category.

The WAM Library Continues to Evolve
For over a century, the Worcester Art Museum library has provided significant resources related to the study of art to both the Museum staff and the entire Worcester community. By 1912, the library's collection of about 2,000 books was catalogued and circulating to "clubs and schools in the city or in Worcester County." Now made up of 60,000 volumes, the library is undergoing a reclassification and automation project that will make it easier for all patrons to access the wealth of art information it houses.
A Little Library History
A sampling of WAM Library books
in the 750 class of the DDC
The idea of free public access to libraries in which patrons had the ability to browse open shelves and check out books was an obscure concept in America before the 1870s. Most libraries in existence before 1876 were referred to as private "social libraries," which were solely subscription based and only open to a select elite class.
Library historians have noted many factors that contributed to the rise and expansion of the public library movement after 1890 and the shift of these "social libraries" to true free public libraries. One important factor for this shift was the development of the library profession as a whole—with the assistance of a famous library figure, Melvil Dewey. Dewey's pioneering ideas for libraries to run uniformly, with efficiency and cost-effectiveness, would bring about changes that would ultimately make the library more accessible to the average library patron.
Dewey's Innovative Classification System
One of Dewey's most famous contributions to libraries was his publication of the Dewey Decimal Classification system (DDC) in 1876. For the very first time, library catalogers were able organize (or classify) books together around a similar topic or subject using a standardized system, thus making it easier for patrons to look at all of the books a library had on a particular topic or subject. Without getting into the technical aspects of cataloging a book using the DDC system, it is helpful to understand that the system uses Arabic numerals within a structured hierarchy to represent subjects. For example, "700" is the numeric main class for "arts & recreation," and "750" is the second class assigned for "painting." The implementation of the DDC system in libraries across the world meant that a patron could walk into any library and browse the shelves in the 750 area to find books relating to art, and specifically, to painting. The implementations of this system not only made cataloging and finding books dramatically more efficient, it brought uniformity to the organization of libraries.
Switching to the Library of Congress System
It is in the spirit of Dewey's dedication to efficiency, uniformity, and accessibility that the WAM Library is undertaking its current reclassification and automation project. For numerous reasons, many academic libraries began reclassifying their books from the DDC system to the LCC system in the 1960s and 1970s. Although we are moving away from the DDC system, it is an appropriate and timely choice for us to adopt the Library of Congress (LCC) system. First, we are seeking uniformity with our academic library peers, both in close proximity and across the country. By 1996, only 25% of academic libraries were using the DDC, and most recently (2017), it was reported that only 19% of academic libraries are using the DDC. Second, we are seeking efficiency for both the processes of cataloging and retrieving books. Our patrons will no longer have to look in multiple locations for books on the same topic or subject, and we will no longer have to reclassify books on a case-by-case basis. Lastly, but most importantly, we are hoping to increase the accessibility of our library for all patrons. The Library of Congress system is more widely known, used, and understood. It is also constantly undergoing revisions and changes to make the system more inclusive and representative of all cultures, religions, and people.
Bibliographic Barcoding
One of the very first books
to receive a barcode!
The automation piece of our project will allow for better care and maintenance of the library's collection. In total, we have about 60,000 individual books—quite a large number to keep track of with pencil and paper! Each of the publications will receive a unique number on a barcode label. The barcode label is attached to the unique bibliographic record that is assigned to that book in our online catalogue system. These barcodes can be scanned using technology associated with our online catalogue to allow us to easily track the locations of books as they move about, conduct accurate inventories, and better analyze the growth and development of certain areas of our collection.
While we do miss seeing all of you in the library, we look forward to sharing all of these improvements with you when we re-open. We appreciate all of your patience and support as we work through this comprehensive project!

Future Watch: Oliver Wahlstrom Rookie Hockey Cards, Islanders
Future Watch: Oliver Wahlstrom Rookie Hockey Cards, Islanders – Oliver Wahlstrom was selected by the New York Islanders with the 11th overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft. At 5-11, 187, he plays bigger than he is and he came with a lot of fanfare but sometimes it takes some time for the rubber to meet the road with young players.
In 2014-15 and '15-16, he attended the famed prep school Shattuck St. Mary's. In two seasons there he amassed 166 points in 108 games! One season he had 68 goals in 65 games.
For two years he played with the National Team Development Program along with Jack Hughes (Devils), Joel Farabee (Flyers), and a ton of talented players. In 125 games, he scored 134 points, 72 were goals and 10 were game-winning goals.
He attended Boston College in 2018-19, but he struggled there saying it wasn't for him and it showed on the ice. He still had 19 points in 36 games. He turned pro and finished out the season with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in the AHL. He had three points in five games. During that season he played in the U20 World Junior Championship and scored four points in seven games taking home a silver medal. He took home another silver the year before in the U18s.
Collectors can find officially licensed NHL rookie cards of Oliver Wahlstrom in several 2019-20 Upper Deck hockey products including his Young Guns rookie card in Series 2 hockey. He also has other rookies cards in popular Upper Deck products like SP Authentic, SPX, ICE and Trilogy to name a few.
Here's a look at his terrific one-timer:
2019-20 was a learning year for him. He started with Bridgeport, once again he represented his country in the U20's and he had five points in five games. He finished out the paused AHL season with 10 goals and 12 helpers in 22 games. At the age of 20, he's close to playing in the NHL full time. He has to become better in his own end first. He did get a nine-game cup of coffee with the Islanders scoring no points. Collect him while he's undervalued. That won't last long.

The monument comprises the substantial remains of Garlies Castle, in origin a tower house of late-15th/early-16th-century date with extensive later additions.
The rectangular-plan tower was excavated in the late 19th century to reveal a vaulted ground floor. Entry to the ground floor was obtained from the courtyard by a double door leading to a passage, off which a small room and aumbray survive to the N and the remains of a newel stair to the S. Of particular note is the almost complete remains of a richly decorated fireplace. The courtyard which lies to the E of the tower is enclosed on the S and E by a roughly built rubble wall. To the NW and SE of the tower the footings of various ancillary buildings survive. The existence of the remains of a wall marking the limits of a large paddock to the NE of the complex is an unusual and interesting feature.
The area to be scheduled is irregular in shape with maximum dimensions of 100m N-S by 130m E-W to include the upstanding remains, the evidence for the adjacent buildings and the paddock and an area around them within which associated remains are expected to survive, all as marked in red on the accompanying map extract.

About Scheduled Monuments
Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.
We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.
Scheduling is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for monuments and archaeological sites of national importance as set out in the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.
We schedule sites and monuments that are found to be of national importance using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)
Scheduled monument records provide an indication of the national importance of the scheduled monument which has been identified by the description and map. The description and map (see 'legal documents' above) showing the scheduled area is the designation of the monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. The statement of national importance and additional information provided are supplementary and provided for general information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland accepts no liability for any loss or damages arising from reliance on any inaccuracies within the statement of national importance or additional information. These records are not definitive historical or archaeological accounts or a complete description of the monument(s).
The format of scheduled monument records has changed over time. Earlier records will usually be brief. Some information will not have been recorded and the map will not be to current standards. Even if what is described and what is mapped has changed, the monument is still scheduled.
Scheduled monument consent is required to carry out certain work, including repairs, to scheduled monuments. Applications for scheduled monument consent are made to us. We are happy to discuss your proposals with you before you apply and we do not charge for advice or consent. More information about consent and how to apply for it can be found on our website at www.historicenvironment.scot.

CAMARILLO, Calif., August 9, 2018 – Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, announced collaboration with HEX SAFETY (HEX), a leading smart fire prevention company in Taiwan, to incorporate Semtech's LoRa® devices and wireless radio frequency technology (LoRa Technology) into its Dynamic Evacuation System.
HEX's Dynamic Exit Signs integrated with LoRa Technology intuitively help people navigate complex hazardous zones in real-time by indicating the quickest and safest direction out of the premises. The conventional exit signs only signal where the closest exit is, which may mistakenly lead people into hazard zones. The HEX Dynamic Evacuation System communicates with the building's existing fire alarm system and sends the safest direction to every HEX exit sign in the building. By enhancing people's decision making and shortening the egress route, the HEX Dynamic Evacuation System significantly increases chances of survival. Since power outages are common during a fire, LoRa Technology provides the long range and low power capabilities in an IoT platform that is needed for operating HEX's exits signs.
HEX SAFETY, INC. is the pioneer supplier of the Dynamic Evacuation System which brings technology into the fire prevention industry. HEX has focused on the research and development of the Dynamic Evacuation System since 2011. HEX's Dynamic System is the first intelligent fire equipment which was approved by the Fire-Fighting Alliance in Taiwan and became a certified B Corporation. For more information, visit https://www.hexsave.com/.

Looking for input on Barrington Coffee Roasters, has anyone tried them? Looking for a general recommendation for all of the their coffees and one that has caught my attention, Amaro Gayo from Ethiopia. Described; "Sweet, plush aroma with fruit flavors of blueberry, blood orange and dried cranberry with spicy qualities of mace and cacao. Possesses great structure which is splashy up front and builds into spicy tones in the long. Makes for a hefty single origin espresso."
I am a fan. My favorites so far are Dos Socios and Geshe Botto. I have not been disappointed by anything from them yet.
We really enjoyed their natural Ethiopian Geshe Botto...tasted like "Juicy Fruit" gum if pulled at bullseye. Also enjoyed the two washed Ethiopian Kochere & Biftu Gudina...although I have a preference for natural processed fruit bombs so Geshe Botto was #1.
They are in my regular rotation. Very consistent high quality. When they promote a special coffee it is worth a try.
Note that shipping is not instantaneous. They roast Monday-Thursday and your order ships either the day it roasts or the next depending on if you got free shipping (oddly free ships on roast day, paid ships the next). If you order on Thursday it will roast on Monday and ship Monday or Tuesday (again dependent upon free/paid shipping). None of this is a problem assuming you rest your coffee a few days anyway. Just a heads up. I'm in the same state and was surprised that orders weren't getting to me within a day or two. Now that I know the drill I plan ahead a bit.

All Star Voting Announced
Josh Hubman	Luka Doncic, Mavs Fans For Life	 12/18/2018 12/26/2018
Voting for the 2019 NBA All-Star game will begin on Tuesday, December 25 at 11 am ET, just before the series of 5 Christmas Day games begin. Voting will last 28 days and end on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, Jan. 21 at 11:59 pm ET.
Fan voting updates will be shared on Jan. 3, Jan. 10, and Jan. 17. Starters will be announced on January 24, with reserves being announced on January 31.
Five "2-for-1 Days" will allow fans to have their votes count twice on Jan. 3, Jan. 4, Jan. 10, Jan. 11 and Jan. 21 through all voting platforms.
Throughout the voting period, fans may submit one full ballot each day through the NBA App and NBA.com, as well as on Google and through the Google Assistant.
How to vote:
NBA.com voting page at NBA.com/vote: Fill out one full ballot per day (per day is defined as once every 24 hours) on NBA.com/vote from a desktop or mobile browser. Fans can select up to two guards and three frontcourt players from each conference when choosing starters.
NBA App: Access the ballot and vote through the app, which is available on Android and iOS. Fans can fill out one full ballot per day and select up to two guards and three frontcourt players from each conference when choosing starters.
Google: Vote on Google.com or the Google Search App by searching "NBA Vote," "NBA All-Star Vote," or simply by searching for your favorite player or team. Fans may submit votes for 10 unique players per day from Dec. 25 – Jan. 21.
The Google Assistant: NBA All-Star Voting will be available on the Google Assistant for the first time. Vote via any Google Assistant enabled device by saying, "Google, talk to NBA All-Star." Fans may submit votes for up to 10 unique players per day from Dec. 25 – Jan. 21. The Google Assistant is available on laptops, phones, speakers, tablets and other connected devices.
All-Star Voting is a big deal for Mavericks fans and Luka Doncic fans who want to see Luka Doncic be the first ever NBA teenage rookie All-Star. Luka would join Kobe Bryant as being the only other teenage All-Star selection after Kobe was chosen by the fans to start the 1998 game in his sophomore season.
In the past few weeks we have been tracking Luka Doncic's chances of being the first rookie teenager to play in an NBA All-Star game. He certianly has All-Star moments and has been the best player on the Dallas Mavericks all season, but to get a better idea of who he will be competing against for a Western Conference frontcourt spot, check out our previous articles:
12/10/2018 – Luka for All-Star: #LukaAllStar2019
11/23/2018 – Can Luka Be A Rookie All-Star Selection?
Voting For Starters
3 frontcourt players and 2 guards are chosen to be starters. The new system, put in place in 2017, is a combination of fan voting, player voting, and media voting. The 3 lowest frontcourt scores and the 2 lowest guard scores are chosen, weighted as follows:
50% Fan Vote – Luka should excel here and it is the largest portion of the equation. Fand vote is also the tiebreaker should it come to that.
25% Players Vote – I don't think NBA Veterans will want a 19 year old teenager to be an All-Star so I don't see a lot of love coming here. Players may vote for their teammates or themselves, I am guessing that's how Wes Matthews got his 1 All-Star player vote last year. JJ Barea received 3 player votes last year, Dirk received 7, and Harrison Barnes received 2. Kind of messed up, there are at least 12 players on the Mavericks roster, how is Barnes only getting 2 player votes?
25% Media Vote – I thought this may hold him back at first but it is really hard to tell. The media is loving the Luka hype train, I just hope they love it enough to ride it all the way to All-Star weekend.
Along with voting for Luka, we need to be aware that votes for other big names in the West can potentially hinder Luka's chance of being voted in. For this reason I urge all Luka Lovers to refrain from voting for LeBron, Durant, Anthony Davis, Paul George, Tobias Harris, really any one else who has a shot to be an All-Star in the Western Conference frontcourt section. To make it easy feel free to simply vote for all the Mavericks, I know I will.
Choosing Reserves
Choosing Reserves: This is done by a vote among the head coaches from each team's respective conference. Coaches are not allowed to vote for their own players. If a selected player is injured and cannot participate, the NBA commissioner selects a replacement. Last year there were 6 guards and 6 frontcourt players chosen from each conference to make up each 12 person team. Last year there were 3 players injured, requiring replacement, making the actual number of players chosen as All-Stars 27.
Choosing Teams
Choosing Teams: The vote leaders for each conferences are assigned as captains and can choose from the pool of All-Star selections to form their teams. Last year, much to the dismay of NBA fans, the All-Star draft between LeBron James and Steph Curry was done in secret and the order of the selections was not released. This year the NBA has announced that it will be televising the All-Star draft for the world to see. How great would it be if 19 year old Luka Doncic was there choosing which veteran All-Star he wants to join his team. Count me in on that!
The newly formed teams will also play for a charity of choice to help the games remain competitive. It will be the 68th NBA All-Star Game will be played in Charlotte, N.C., at Spectrum Center on Sunday, Feb. 17 at 8 p.m. ET

'Midline malignant glioma' is a mouthful – and it's also one of the deadliest forms of childhood cancer. A four year old child diagnosed with this kind of brain tumor at has less than a five percent chance of making it to his or her sixth birthday. Traditional chemotherapy has not been effective against this type of cancer, and scientists haven't found a better way to treat it since the 1960s. This is what Dr. Lulla and his colleagues at Lurie Children's Hospital are working to change.
Over and over, Dr. Lulla has seen families who receive this diagnosis rocked when they learn about the grim survival rates and lack of viable treatments.
Dr. Lulla's research aims to use promising data from a study of adults with the same cancer to design a clinical trial for children. This trial will use a bromodomain inhibitor, which acts like an on/off switch to regulate genes that cause the tumor to grow. Dr. Lulla's Phase I trial will test whether these bromodomain inhibitors are safe in children with recurrent central nervous system tumors and, later on, malignant glioma. The goal is to increase the understanding of the biology of childhood brain tumors so that researchers can create personalized treatments.
Children's Cancer Research Fund is helping fund this clinical trial, thanks to a gift from Love Your Melon. With less than five percent of total government funding for cancer going to pediatric cancer research, researchers like Dr. Lulla and his team need our support to continue their valuable work.
Promising ideas can lead to groundbreaking results, but only with your help. You can help fund research that leads to better, safer treatments for children fighting event the deadliest forms of childhood cancer.

Q: Фильтр в jQuery Все привет. Длительное время мучаюсь с одной проблемой, в данныый момент решаю ее следующим образом
 $('.sect_9 .items .item:first .mortgage').click(function() {
    $('.mortgages input[name="statistics"]').val($('.sect_9 .items .item:first .up').text());
});

$('.sect_9 .items .item:eq(1) .mortgage').click(function() {
    $('.mortgages input[name="statistics"]').val($('.sect_9 .items .item:eq(1) .up').text());
});

$('.sect_9 .items .item:eq(2) .mortgage').click(function() {
    $('.mortgages input[name="statistics"]').val($('.sect_9 .items .item:eq(2) .up').text());
});

$('.sect_9 .items .item:eq(3) .mortgage').click(function() {
    $('.mortgages input[name="statistics"]').val($('.sect_9 .items .item:eq(3) .up').text());
});

Как можно видеть при клике на кнопку с классом mortgage первого айтема должно вписываться значения класса up в скрытый input формы с первого айтема, а при клике на кнопку второго айтема, должно браться значения класса up опять же второго айтема. Если же я данные фильтры уберу (в данном случае это :first, :eq(1), :eq(2), :eq(3), то тупо при клике на кнопку любого айтема в форму будут записываться значения всех айтемов, которые есть в корне. А мне естественно надо, чтобы при клике допустим на кнопку 3 айтема бралось значения класса up с 3 айтема, а не со всех возможных 4 как в данном случае. Как это можно сделать? Заранее спасибо!!!

A: Понятно вопрос уже, вот как можно сделать.
$('.sect_9 .items .item .mortgage').click(function() {
    var tmp_val = $(this).parent().find('.up').text();
    $('.mortgages input[name="statistics"]').val(tmp_val);
});

Подробно объясню:
Вешаем один обработчик для всех классов mortgage, и поскольку родитель нужного нам тега с классом up и тег mortgage один и тот же, то мы во время клика ищем родителя для текущего элемента потом в нем элемент up и таким образом всегда получаем нужный нам результат.

A: Делайте следующим образом, в цикле перебирайте все .item и в контексте каждого навешивайте событие клика:
$('.sect_9 .items .item').each(function(index, item) {
    $(item).find('.mortgage').on('click', function() {
        $('.mortgages input[name="statistics"]').val($(item).find('.up').val());
    });
});


The trade that would send Padre second baseman Alan Wiggins to the Baltimore Orioles for one or two minor leaguers only has to be approved by Commissioner Peter V. Ueberroth and the National League and American League presidents, sources said Wednesday.
"Yeah, probably the commissioner would have to OK it," said Ballard Smith, Padre president.
Sources said Ueberroth is involved only because of Wiggins' past involvement in drugs, and that the commissioner is expected to approve the deal.
On Tuesday, the trade had been delayed because Oriole lawyers had to discuss the deal with Oriole front office personnel. On Wednesday, however, sources said the Oriole front office was satisfied with the new contract language, which states that Baltimore will pick up Wiggins' entire 4-year, $2.8-million contract, but has the right to release him if he suffers a drug-related relapse.
In the event of a relapse, Wiggins would forfeit one-third of his remaining guaranteed contract. But, if the relapse happens in his first year with Baltimore, the Padres still would be responsible for approximately 50% of his remaining contract. In the second year, San Diego would be responsible for just 25%, and only 10% by the third year. San Diego would not be responsible after the third year.
Also on Wednesday, United Press International reported that the Orioles had given the Padres a list of minor leaguers to choose from and that San Diego would get either Roy Lee Jackson, a 31-year-old right-handed reliever, or 24-year-old Joe Kucharski, a right-handed starter. Both players play for Rochester, Baltimore's Triple-A affiliate.
Jackson, in 15 games, has given up 26 hits in 27 innings, striking out 25. He has two saves, a 1-1 record and a 3.20 earned-run average. Kucharski has four complete games, a 4-5 record and a 3.21 ERA.
Still, Jack McKeon, Padre general manager, said Wednesday afternoon that he talked to the Orioles about potential players for the first time Wednesday.
"We haven't completed a deal, but at least we're getting prepared if we do," McKeon said. "We're getting close, but until they say so, there's no deal.
" . . . Trader Jack is going to pull off the deal. He just doesn't know when. I'll tell you . . . It's been a tough one."
Hank Peters, Baltimore general manager, was unavailable for comment.

UK Police arrest 4 Nigerian stowaways aboard a cargo ship
Four stowaways from Nigeria have been arrested in the United Kingdom after special forces stormed a cargo ship off the country's coast. The stowaways, who are suspected migrants had reportedly threatened staff on-board. Special Boat Service (SBS) operatives from Sabre Squadron fast-roped from helicopters on to the ship, which had been sailing in the Thames Estuary, Sky News reported. The operation lasted around 25 minutes and no one on-board was injured. Essex Police said the vessel was taken to the Port of Tilbury and four men have been arrested under the Immigration Act. The ship arrived at the Port of Tilbury in the early hours of Saturday at just after 4.20am. Officers boarded the 236-metre long cargo ship, called the Grande Tema, shortly after 11pm on Friday. Its operator, Grimaldi Lines, had earlier reported that four stowaways armed with iron tubes had called for the crew to navigate closer to the coast. The company's spokesman Paul Kyprianou told Sky News:"The vessel was coming from Nigeria. They managed to escape from the cabin and started threatening the crew, requesting to have the vessel navigate very close to the coast. We understand they wanted to jump and reach the British coast." He added that the crew locked themselves in the bridge of the vessel after the migrants had picked up potentially harmful objects. "They managed to get whatever they could find on the vessel pieces of iron, tubes and things like that and this is what they used in order to threaten," Kyprianou said. The vessel had been travelling eastwards through the English Channel when the migrants were discovered on Friday morning.
