Never Say Never Again (Again)
Whilst talking about SPECTRE, director Sam Mendes has rules out a follow-up James Bond adventure. Again.
'Skyfall' and 'SPECTRE' director Sam Mendes, who is an avid cricket fan, stopped by the commentary booth for BBC Radio's 'Test Match Special' program to talk about England's chances against Australia in the Ashes series, and of course conversation eventually shifted to his work on the latest James Bond film.
"[SPECTRE] is a bigger movie than 'Skyfall'. When we were up for a BAFTA last time I counted the cast and crew as I wanted to accept it on behalf of everybody. I counted them up myself and there was over a thousand and you really do feel it. [SPECTRE] is shot in more places. We were in Mexico City, Tangiers, the Northern Sahara, Rome, The Alps, and London. We shut down great sections of London. Anyone whose evening was ruined because of the traffic around Westminster Bridge over the last few weeks, I apologise to them. But it's been an enormous undertaking. One of the most rewarding moments for a film director is when you finally finish shooting."
"It kind of starts all over again when you're editing. You really direct the movie four times: when it's being written, when it's being cast and prepped, when it's being shot and then when it's being edited and music is being added. That fourth stage is just beginning. If you're any good as a director you want to be all over every department and you want to be influencing everything. It's your film and your vision. Unlike the theatre, where I learnt a lot of my craft, I don't think theatre is a director's medium, whereas film is. You can pretty much blame the director if you're having a bad evening at the cinema because it does fall on his shoulders."
"I made the movie I wanted to see [for Skyfall] and I think I've done the same thing this time [for SPECTRE]. I hope I've done the same thing this time, although it really is just emerging out of the mists - the way that it does in the editing period. In terms of the story, it's pretty much set out. But as any director will tell you, how you tell the story is everything and the story by itself is not enough. I spend a long, long period with the music for the movie and there will be over 100 minutes of music for this movie. That's a lot of music. There is a lot of visual effects and a lot of sound work. There are any number of ways to mess your film up, even at this late stage, however good the story is. You have to stay completely focused and it is somewhat like rebooting and starting again at this stage. For me, editing is the most pleasurable piece as you've done all the hard work and it's down to the story-telling."
"For me, the Bond franchise as a whole has been a wonderful unexpected gift at this point in my life. it's not just the making of the film, it's the relationship you have with an audience and the dialog you have with the process from the beginning to the end. You have to embrace the fact that everything you do is going to be reviewed and debated from the title to the music to the casting to the trailer... "
"I'm happiest rehearsing a play or editing a movie, and I think that when I've finished a movie I generally want to be back in a theatre environment again. It feels like home, it feels controllable after the chaos of a movie set. But it won't be long before I want to do another film, and I'm very, very fortunate to be able to go back and forth between the two."
"I said 'No' to the last one and then ended up doing it and was pilloried by all my friends, including [former England cricket captain] Michael Atherton who took great pleasure in reminding me that I said no to the last one and ended up doing it. But I do think this is probably it. I think five years for the two movies... It feels now almost, even though we've only just finished shooting it, like one big experience. It was a fantastic life-changing thing, but I don't think I could go down that road again. It's more a lifestyle choice than a job. You do have to put everything else on hold."

The native of Ft. Wayne started her professional career in her hometown pitching for the Daisies.
Peppas, June, All- American Star: Helping the Kalamazoo Lassies Win the 1954 Championship
By the time she pitched and won the final game of the Shaughnessy Championship Series for the Kalamazoo Lassies on Sunday, September 5, 1954, June Peppas had been selected twice as an All-Star in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. She became the league's first team first baseman in 1953 and 1954, even though she often pitched.
During what turned out to be the All-American League's final season, Peppas hurled 13 games and posted a 6-4 record with a 3.32 ERA. She also batted .333, her team's best average and the league's fifth highest mark for girls who played at least 80 games in 1954. When Kalamazoo played the Fort Wayne Daisies for the league title, June came through big-time.
"Pitcher June Peppas, a former Daisy player," the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette reported about the final playoff game, "was the villain of the piece. In addition to holding the Daisies to five safeties, she slammed out three hits in five trips to the plate and batted in four runs."
Leading her club to the 1954 league title, the southpaw batted .450 and hurled two victories in the five-game series—including by an 8-5 margin in the AAGPBL's last-ever game.
When the All-American (as the league was often called) disbanded after the season, June Peppas, who worked in printing during off-seasons in Kalamazoo, began working full-time at the trade. She also played amateur sports, excelling in fast-pitch softball, basketball, and volleyball.
After earning Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from Western Michigan University during the late 1960s, June taught vocational-education graphic arts. Later, she operated her own printing business, retiring in 1988.
Today she's best known for her part in reviving the All-American League. In 1980 June and a few friends began assembling a list of names and addresses of former players. Her work turned into a newsletter and resulted in the AAGPBL's first-ever reunion in Chicago in 1982. Stemming from that reunion, a Players Association was formed in 1987, and many former All-Americans continue to enjoy reunions—which became annual events in 1998.
Peppas made several contributions to the All-American League. The daughter of George and Edna Peppas, she was born on June 16, 1929, in Kansas City, Missouri. The family soon moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where she grew up playing sandlot sports, notably fast-pitch softball. She graduated from Elmhurst High in 1947 and played for the championship Bob-Inn fast-pitch team. The next spring she got a tryout and made the All-American League.
June's baseball career, which spanned the years 1948 through 1954, reflects the experiences of many women who played in the All-American's era of overhand pitching. In 1943 the AAGPBL began by playing a speeded-up game of fast-pitch softball, complete with an underhand delivery. The pitching motion was switched to a modified sidearm in 1946, to sidearm in 1947, and to overhand in 1948. As Susan M. Cahn later pointed out, Philip Wrigley, the circuit's founder, and his chief advertising agent, Arthur E. Meyerhoff, promoted the All-American League as a clean-spirited, colorful sports show built on "the dramatic impact of seeing baseball, traditionally a man's game, played by feminine type girls with masculine skill."
During those years the league's ball was decreased in size. Beginning with a softball 12 inches in circumference in 1943, the AAGPBL used an 11 ½ inch ball in 1944 and 1945, an 11-inch ball in 1946 and 1947, and a 10 3/8 inch ball in 1948—the first overhand season. Midway through the 1949 season, the league introduced a 10-inch ball. In the final season of 1954, the AAGPBL's ball switched to 9 ¼ inches—the size of a regulation major league baseball.
Likewise, the league gradually lengthened the basepaths and the pitching distance from the mound to the batter's box. For example, batters faced a 40-foot pitching distance and ran 65-foot basepaths in 1943. But in 1948 players adjusted to a 50-foot pitching distance, the overhand delivery, and 72-foot basepaths. In 1954 the pitcher stood 60 feet away from home plate, and the runners sped around 85-foot basepaths.
For women like Peppas who began after the 1947 season, competing in the All-American meant playing a tough brand of baseball, a game that grew increasingly closer to major league baseball.
A child of the Great Depression, June shared her memories in a 1997 interview: "I was truly a stubborn left-hander. I liked baseball, softball, any sport, when I was growing up. My folks were in the restaurant business, so we were good friends of Harold Greiner, owner of the Bob-Inn Restaurant in Fort Wayne. Harold fielded men's and women's softball teams. I played for him from 1942 through 1947 and we won state titles in 1944 and 1945. He scouted for the All-American and recommended me for tryouts. Harold also managed the Daisies in 1949.
"I went to spring training at Opa-Locka, Florida, in 1948 and was assigned to the Fort Wayne Daisies. As a pitcher, I was very erratic, but I could hit. It was tough being a home-town product, and in 1949 Harold traded me to Racine."
Overall, June had a solid rookie season, playing in 20 games and hitting .264. She pitched 16 times, finishing with a 4-12 record and an ERA of 4.62. In 1949 she had mixed success, due partly to injuries. She batted .116 in 50 games (39 with Racine), but her pitching record improved to 3-4 with a 2.25 ERA.
"At Racine I got my control," Peppas recalled, "thanks to the teaching of manager Leo 'Pop' Murphy. I had a good bat, and also played first base. In 1948 I tore my right knee up. I had it repaired over the winter, and in 1949 I tore up my left knee, but I continued to play. I waited until 1950 to have it repaired. I continued to play team sports until 1968. In 1949, after being traded, I learned how to slide, thanks to Sophie Kurys of the Belles. Also, I did double duty like many others. I pitched every fifth turn, and I played first base the rest of the time."
Once she overcame knee injuries, June's career blossomed. She spent the rest of 1949 and all of 1950 with Racine. However, because of declining attendance and financial difficulties in 1950, the Racine franchise moved to Battle Creek, Michigan, for the 1951 season.
In 1950, her only full season with the Belles, "Pep," or "Lefty," as she was also called, bounced back. She hit .268 with 11 doubles, five triples, four home runs, and a career-best 52 RBIs. She also posted a 4-4 pitching mark with a 4.57 ERA. Her main problem continued to be control: she walked more hitters than she struck out. For example, in 1950 she passed 41 batters while fanning 21. In 1951 she walked 31 and struck out 20.
In mid-1951 June was traded to the Kalamazoo Lassies. During her three full seasons in Kazoo, the last two as an All-Star at first base, she continued to hit well. Her averages improved from .262 to .271 to .333. In 1954 the southpaw fashioned a 6-4 record, recording her only winning season as a hurler.
"I was fortunate in making the All-Star team in 1953 and 1954," June observed. "I always said the only way I made it was when Rockford's Dot Kamenshek retired [after the 1952 season]."
She added, modestly, "My team, the Kalamazoo Lassies, won the Shaughnessy Trophy in the last year of the league, 1954. I was lucky enough to be the winning pitcher in two ball games."
Pretty, personable, and multi-talented, the 5'5½" 145-pound brunette kept improving her game. She was a hit on and off the field. Recalled teammate Elaine Roth, "June had a good voice, played the piano, and when dressed up, she looked like a movie star."
On the diamond in 1948, the AAGPBL peaked with ten teams and the league's attendance reached an all-time high of 910,000. The All-American returned to eight teams in 1949, 1950, and 1951, fell to six teams in 1952 and 1953, and ended with five clubs in 1954.
Regarding championships during the overhand years, the Rockford Peaches won the Shaughnessy Playoffs in 1948, 1949, and 1950. After Rockford's run, the South Bend Blue Sox won back-to-back titles in 1951 and 1952. The Grand Rapids Chicks won the league crown in 1953, and the Lassies won Kalamazoo's only championship in 1954.
On the All-American diamonds in 1954, the second year of Dwight Eisenhower's presidency, the girls played exciting ball. Hitting a regulation-sized baseball, "Jolting Jo" Weaver of Fort Wayne led the All-American with a remarkable .429 average in 93 games. She also paced the league in home runs with a best-ever 29. Jean Geissinger of the Daisies hit .377 with 26 home runs and a league-high 91 RBIs. Betty Foss, another Fort Wayne slugger, hit .352 with 14 homers and 54 RBIs. And Betty Francis of South Bend averaged .350 with eight home runs and 58 RBIs.
Nineteen players hit at least .300. South Bend's Wilma Briggs batted an even .300 while clubbing 25 homers and driving home 73 runs. Peppas averaged .333 with 16 homers and 49 RBIs, making her one of the league's best hitters.
In the first round of Shaughnessy Playoffs, regular-season champ Fort Wayne (54-40 record) won on a forfeit from third-place Grand Rapids (46-45). A dispute erupted when, due to an injury to Fort Wayne's regular catcher, the league voted to allow the Daisies to add Rockford All-Star Ruth Richard to the roster.
Tempers flared. Grand Rapids, claiming that using a new player was unfair, played the first game under protest—and won, 8-7. Attempting to resolve the matter the following night in Fort Wayne, Chick manager Woody English and Daisy pilot Bill Allington ended up fighting at home plate. Later, the Chick players voted not to play, so the Daisies advanced to the championship round.
Meanwhile, fourth-place Kalamazoo (48-49) surprised second-place South Bend (48-44) in three games. Lassie Gloria Cordes hurled and lost the opener, but pitchers Nancy Warren and Elaine Roth won games two and three, respectively.
The best-of-five championship round opened at Kalamazoo's Catholic Athletic Association Field on Wednesday, September 1. Based on interviews, letters from players, and game stories that appeared in the local newspaper, Kalamazoo's usual lineup featured:
2B: Nancy Mudge, an All-Star in 1954 who hit a career-best .232
1B-P: Peppas (Jean Lovell often played first when June pitched)
OF-C-RHP: Chris Ballingall, a "Home Run Twin" who slugged 17 four-baggers
SS: Dot Schroeder, a slick fielder who was the league's only 12-year player
3B: Fern Shollenberger, the four-time All-Star third sacker who hit .268
OF-1B-C: Jean Lovell, a versatile player who hit .286 with 21 homers
CF: "Home Run Twin" Carol Habben, who connected for the circuit 15 times
C-OF: Jenny "Rifle Arm" Romatowski, an All-Star catcher who hit .258
OF-1B: Mary Taylor, a second-year outfielder who averaged .251 lifetime
RHP: Nancy Warren, with a lifetime mark of 114-93, was a key starter for Kazoo
RHP: Elaine Roth, a spot starter and reliever, compiled a career 45-69 record
RHP: Gloria Cordes, an All-Star in 1952 and 1954, was 12-7 with 2.92 ERA
¨ Game one: Lassies 17, Daisies 9 PEPPAS, 2-for-4
Kalamazoo hitters blasted the pitching of the league's top winner, Maxine Kline. Although she had an 18-7 record with 3.23 ERA during the season, Kline gave up 11 runs in six innings, and Kazoo scored six more in the eighth off Virginia Carver.
Performing before a crowd of 1,299 (a total of 8,230 paid to see the five games), Peppas started for the Lassies, pitched seven solid innings, and rapped two hits—including a homer in the first inning. She tired in the eighth, yielding solo homers to Katie Horstman and Jo Weaver. But Nancy Warren relieved, got Jean Geissinger to hit into a double play, and saved the victory.
Hitting dominated the loosely-fielded opener, as the two clubs combined for seven home runs and 11 errors (seven by the Daisies). Horstman connected for two four-baggers, while Weaver, Peppas, and three more Lassies—Carol Habben, Fern Shollenberger, and Chris Ballingall, who hit a grand slam—slugged one each.
¨ Game two: Daisies 11, Lassies 4 PEPPAS, 1-for-3
In the second game favored Fort Wayne bounced back at home run heaven, as Kalamazoo's "bandbox" CAA Field was dubbed, hitting five round-trippers to win, 11-4. Gloria Cordes started for the Lassies. Due to a mix-up over the game's starting time (supposedly there would be a half hour delay), the umpires did not allow her to warm up. Starting cold, Cordes allowed five runs before getting a batter out. After a leadoff walk to Mary Weddle, Katie Horstman homered for a 2-0 Daisy lead. Ruth Richard and Jo Weaver singled, and Betty Foss hit a three-run homer for a 5-0 edge.
Right-hander Elaine Roth relieved Cordes and completed the game. But Fort Wayne hit three more homers, one each by Geissinger, Foss (her second), and Weaver. Kalamazoo countered with leadoff shots by Nancy Mudge in the third inning, Peppas (who played first base) in the seventh, and Dottie Schroeder in the ninth, but the game's outcome was never in doubt.
¨ Game three: Daisies 8, Lassies 7 PEPPAS, 1-for-4
After moving to Fort Wayne's spacious Memorial Field for the rest of the series, the Daisies won a close one, 8-7, fueled by the heavy hitting of Jo Weaver. The AAGPBL's best batter produced a double, a triple, and a three-run homer in five at-bats, driving in four runs.
Still, Kalamazoo got off to a 3-0 lead in the fourth frame, thanks to a single and three Daisy errors. In the fifth Nancy Mudge doubled and scored from second when Peppas lifted a long flyball to deep right field. Maxine Kline, doing double duty as an outfielder, caught the ball. But when she fell backward on the banked earth, the speedy Mudge raced home.
In the decisive seventh inning, Peppas added a base hit to spark a three-run Lassie rally, capped by Chris Ballingall's two-run single. But the Daisies came back in the bottom of the inning, scoring twice off Nancy Warren for the final 8-7 margin. After three base hits, Geissinger singled off the pitcher's glove, and Jean Havlish drew a bases-loaded walk. Gloria Cordes put out the Daisy fire, but neither team scored again.
¨ Game four: Lassies 6, Daisies 5 PEPPAS, 2-for-4
Gloria Cordes, this time properly warmed up, pitched a complete game. Allowing five runs on nine hits, Gloria helped Kalamazoo tie the series. With Fort Wayne leading 5-2 in the eighth, Kalamazoo rallied for four runs by combining a walk, a sacrifice bunt, and five singles—by Mudge, Ballingall, Fern Shollenberger, Jean Lovell, and Carol Habben, with Habben driving home the winning tally. Bill Allington summoned Phyllis Baker in relief of Kline, but it proved too late.
Ballingall led the visitors with three hits, including a double. Peppas contributed a single, a double, and one RBI; Dot Schroeder rapped a base hit and a solo home run; and Shollenberger added two singles—as the first seven batters in the lineup produced 13 hits.
¨ Game five: Lassies 8, Daisies 5 PEPPAS, 3-for-5
Saving her best for last, June enjoyed a three-hit night and pitched a clutch game, yielding four singles and one double. She had plenty of hitting support from Mary Taylor, who had a perfect 5-for-5 game with two doubles, and Chris Ballingall, who went 3-for-4.
Peppas made one big error. With her club ahead 5-1 going into the bottom of the fifth, she yielded two singles and a walk to load the bases. With two outs she dropped a pop fly, allowing two Daisies to score. But the lefty June got the third out with no further damage.
June gave up a run in the bottom of the eighth, but her teammates scored three in the last two frames. The game-winner came home in the top of the eighth on Schroeder's big double. Also, a base hit plus RBI singles by Peppas and Ballingall added two markers in the ninth.
In the end, the inspired Lassies rose to the challenge and batted .337 as a team. On the other hand, the usually heavy-hitting Daisies averaged .275.
When the league was unable to continue in 1955, Peppas and other independent-minded players made necessary adjustments. A Michigan resident, June later completed her higher education. Working as a printer, she participated in many sports, including softball, basketball, bowling, hunting and fishing, downhill and water skiing, and flying.
The All-American League, however, was soon forgotten. Many people in the Fifties thought that women were not supposed to play baseball. So most female athletes competed on other fields of endeavor. Finally, in 1980, Peppas launched the newsletter project to get in touch with friends, teammates, and opponents.
"I missed an organizational meeting," the former All-Star recalled, "and was elected president, which I held for four years. We accomplished becoming a Players Association, getting the permanent display on 'Women in Baseball' at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, and the movie, A League of Their Own.
"We are quite proud of our accomplishments," June Peppas reminisced, "and we hope the All-Americans will never be forgotten again. We were a proud lot."
An earlier version of this article appeared in SABR's The National Pastime for 2002. I first interviewed June Peppas at the AAGPBL Players Association Reunion at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in mid-October 1997, and again by telephone two weeks later. Her statistics are from the summary sheet prepared on a yearly cumulative basis for the All-American League by the Howe Bureau, copy in AAGPBL Files in Northern Indiana Center for History, South Bend, Indiana. Newspaper articles about the 1954 playoff championship between June's Kalamazoo team and the Fort Wayne Daisies are from the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette and the Kalamazoo Gazette. Also, Peppas sent copies of additional clippings from her personal collection, along with a letter containing further recollections dated January 5, 1998. She provided more information about the AAGPBL of her era in a letter dated May 22, 1998. I also received informative, detailed letters from former All-Americans Chris Ballingall, dated May 30, 1998; Elaine Roth, dated June 1, 1998; Gloria (Cordes) Elliott, dated June 25, 2001; and Nancy (Mudge) Cato, dated August 2001.

June Peppas, a former resident of Stuart Lodge, died Monday March 14, 2016, peacefully at Hospice House in Stuart, Florida.
She was born in Kansas City, MO on June 16, 1929. She grew up in Marion & Ft. Wayne, IN, and graduated from Elmhurst H.S. in 1947, and went on to graduate from Western Michigan University. In 1970, she received a Masters degree also from WMU.
June "Lefty" Peppas is well remembered for her many contributions to the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, playing first base and pitcher, and the first chairperson of the [Players Association] Board. She was twice selected as the All-Star player for AAGPBL. This organization was the basis for the movie "A League of Their Own." The league was finally disbanded in 1954, but the players always kept in touch.
June and her life partner of 46 years, Polly Huitt, operated their own printing business, PJ's Printing, in Allegan, Michigan until 1988. They retired to Florida, enjoying golf and an active social life. Polly predeceased June in 2007.
In lieu of a memorial service, donations may be made to Treasure Coast Hospice, 1201 SE Indian St, Stuart, FL 34997, in memory of June Peppas.

Louisville's Jackson honored for NFL TV work
Jonathan Lintner
@JonathanLintner
After more than two decades with ESPN, Tom Jackson -- "from: Louisville!" -- was on Tuesday honored for his broadcast work by the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Jackson joined the likes of Pat Summerall, Dick Enberg and John Madden as the latest winner of the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award.
"Playing in the National Football League was a dream come true, but never did it occur to me that I'd have a second career so gratifying and an award like this bestowed upon me," Jackson said in a news release. "I admire and deeply respect the former recipients of the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award. I'm so honored to join this club. And to all those who have contributed to my success as a broadcaster, I humbly and sincerely say thank you."
Jackson, a Cleveland, Ohio, native, played at the University of Louisville before a 14-year career as a Denver Broncos linebacker. He joined ESPN in 1987 and in 2009 won the Sports Emmy for Outstanding Studio Analyst.
A three-time Pro Bowler, Jackson, at the time of his retirement, held franchise records for most seasons (14) and games played (191).
Jackson will be recognized during the Aug. 8 Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony.
"For almost three decades, Tom has brought the same enthusiasm to our studio shows as he did to Denver's 'Orange Crush' defense," said John Wildhack, ESPN's executive vice president of programming and production. "He has strong relationships with players and coaches throughout the league and he has demonstrated the ability to connect with fans on a very personal level. He is highly deserving of this honor."

uerto Rico's government recently declared that the country will seek bankruptcy under Title III of Promesa, a federal law enacted by the US Congress to deal with Puerto Rico's debt crisis. The decision triggers the beginning of a debt restructuring process, the largest ever registered in the municipal bond market of the US.
It was a sensible move. The country does not have the means to pay its debt. It needs to restore the sustainability of its debt position as a pre-condition for any plan for economic recovery, and the only way for that is through a restructuring process.
Not declaring bankruptcy would have exposed Puerto Rico to massive litigation that would have not boded well for the island. At least 22 lawsuits had already been filed by a myriad of the island's creditors. Vulture funds, which specialize in suing countries in disgrace to get full payment on debts that they buy in times of distress at large discounts, could have made a killing at the expense of Puerto Ricans and good faith creditors.
Puerto Rico's 'unpayable' debt: is this the Greece of the western hemisphere?
Promesa provides a legal framework with elements that are similar to a bankruptcy law, and as such it can certainly help the island and its creditors to achieve an effective and orderly restructuring; but to be sure, Promesa is not a guarantee of success.
It is a framework that didn't come alone, but with the imposition by Congress of a bipartisan financial oversight and management board in charge of making the fiscal policy decisions for the island.
For a large part, Puerto Rico's future is not in the hands of its people, but in the hands of a group of non-elected technocrats, that as such are not accountable to Puerto Ricans. If that sounds like what happens in colonies, that's precisely because Puerto Rico is a US colony.
The first signs of the board's behavior had been worrisome. In January, it demanded a set of draconian austerity measures, including large cuts to pensions, education and health spending, that would have led to catastrophic outcomes – including drops in economic activity not too different from the ones that Venezuela has been recently experiencing. In March, the board finally approved a slightly more moderate 10-year fiscal plan that is projected to lead to another lost decade for Puerto Rico.
Absent a substantial debt write-off, the fiscal plan will not only aggravate the recession, it will also worsen the sustainability of the country's debt position – thus risking the country entering into a third consecutive lost decade after 2026.
It is now the time for Puerto Rico's government and the board to outline a debt restructuring plan. And there is much uncertainty about the role the board will play. Will it respect its mission of creating "the necessary foundation for economic growth and to restore opportunity to the people of Puerto Rico"? Or will it try to squeeze as much as possible from the island to maximize the payment to the creditors in the short run, even if that means seriously aggravating its troubles?
Signs are not more encouraging when it comes to the White House's stance. A few days ago, Donald Trump showed how much he cares about the lives of Puerto Ricans when he tweeted: "Democrats are trying to bail out insurance companies from disastrous #ObamaCare, and Puerto Rico with your tax dollars. Sad!"
Ultimately this crisis may be a wakeup call for Puerto Ricans, as the territorial experiment is reaching a critical point. The glossed-over territorial status created by the US in the mid-20th century – Puerto Rico's Estado Libre Asociado, or Commonwealth – has been seriously undermined by the territory's fiscal crisis. It is clear that being in a political middle ground is the worst of all worlds for Puerto Rico. It is a ground where there is serious risk of becoming another Greece.
Puerto Rico's economic migrants escape to US mainland in search of stability
And it's also a wakeup call for the US. Deepening the Puerto Rican crisis would lead to higher migration to the mainland, and US taxpayers would have to pay for the costs that this would entail.
All stakeholders are now being forced to show their cards. The board's actions will soon determine the degree of similarities between Puerto Rico and Greece. An important one is already in order: Greece lost its de facto sovereignty; thus, its authorities had no capacity to make decisions on behalf of the electorate when it came to resolving the country's debt crisis.
The Troika got the power and it crushed Greece, depriving a generation of opportunities in their own land. Will the US now help or crush Puerto Rico? Puerto Ricans will soon know. What happens next will not only affect the economy, but it might also bring political changes – in one direction or the other – that for better or worse will reshape the future of the country.

Low maintenance gardening so you can have your garden & eat it too!
Many of us are busy these days, yet we also still wish to garden & have fresh healthy produce. Is it possible to have both?
When you're busy it helps to make your garden as maintenance free as possible.
It also helps to choose crops that don't need frequent harvesting or babying and to reduce the time spent weeding.
Mulching is an amazing way to reduce the weeding time in your garden.
By reducing the amount of light that can get to the weed seeds below they won't germinate. It also helps to build fantastic soil and has better water retention for less watering. I highly recommend mulching your garden as a tip for easy gardening, it helped me a lot when I was pregnant and weeding was too awkward. Here's my review of the best garden mulches.
Infographics that show the benefits of mulching your garden.
If you're a busy person who still wishes to have a garden it's important to choose your crops carefully.
Some crops need harvesting frequently like beans, peas or baby tomatoes. Other crops you plant once and wait for 3-5 months for them to be ready.
Choose crops that grow easily and aren't so finicky with soil nutrients.
Most of the greens are easy to grow whereas the fruiting crops like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, corn benefit from a fertilizer boost every couple of weeks. Don't over plant your crops too (or if you do share the harvest as you're likely too busy to preserve).
After choosing your crops you also want to make sure you don't over plant your crops. You'll likely be too busy to preserve the extra if you sowed too many of a certain crop. Also if you don't have time to thin out your seedlings consider sowing with more space in between the plants (although that sometimes invites weeds).
Fix has a rough idea of how many plants/person below and in my post 'Can you grow enough food to feed a family?' I talk about how many crops to grow.
While it's not ideal to have to pay someone to weed your garden because it's not cost-effective, sometimes if you get too busy and you'd still like a garden (& fresh food!) this is an option.
Better yet is to work out a trade with someone!
Whether you're trading babysitting time, some of your crops or even your work skills, trading is a wonderful and old-fashioned way to create community.
Watering can take up your time. Buy a timer to attach to your garden hose so your garden is watered for you.
I love this post and the easy to digest chunks of information. I often struggle to find time to work in the garden, so this is very helpful. It's so amazing how helpful mulch is — 90% water retention, that's so awesome!


Originally bred for war, the mastiff is one of the heaviest and oldest dog breeds in the world. While the mastiff's ancestors were fierce war dogs, the mastiff today has a docile kind-hearted temperament making the breed perfect for any family that can manage the dog's size and doesn't mind a bit of drool.
The breed is known for their companionship and enduring care and love for their family. They make excellent guard and watch dogs, as most intruders (and guests) are intimidated by a 220 dog watching them approach their property. The dog's size does take a toll on their body as the average mastiff lifespan is roughly 60% the lifespan of the average dog.
Below are the characteristics and traits of the mastiff dog breed.
There is no doubt that the mastiff is considered a giant dog breed. Males can often exceed 220 pounds and be as tall as 30 inches from ground to shoulder. In 1989 a mastiff named Zorba set the world record by weighing 323 pounds. The potential size of an adult mastiff should be taken into consideration before adopting a mastiff into your family.
Although mastiffs can be very intimidating dogs, they are actually good natured. The breed is known for their courageous spirit and should never be shy or aggressive, but if they feel their family is threatened they will stand between you and the threat. Mastiffs love being around children, however they should be supervised as their large size can easily overwhelm a child. They do well with other pets, but do best when raised with other household animals.
The mastiff requires slightly less maintenance than the average dog breed. They will need to be brushed weekly and their wrinkles will need to be wiped with a damp cloth to keep them clean. They shed more heavily in the spring and fall, so they will need to be brushed daily during this period. The breed needs daily exercise which can be met with a 30 minute walk.
Below are the standard colors for the mastiff dog breed.
Below are pictures of the Mastiff dog breed.

When you stand on top of the hill, you won't believe the breath taking views that capture open plains, water and hills. This 32Ha (81 acres) of natural bush land includes two mega litres of water and a two bedroom residence with open plan living area and a gauzed-in room which is the perfect place to relax. What an awesome place to build your new home and enjoy the spectacular views.


In this project, we implemented A-buffering, a substitute to z-buffering that allows for the rendering of transparent shapes and z-buffer texture-mapping that allowed us to map from an image onto the surface of a polygon and model surfaces at a finer level of detail.
To implement a-buffering, we had to come up with a way to add a list of polygons to each pixel in the image and add polygons to this list in our scanline fill and then calculate the color at each pixel using the recursive color function.
Z-buffer texture-mapping required us to make several modifications to the current library: a new structure to store the texture object, a fields in other structure to hold texture properties. Also we had to modify our scanline fill so that for every edge of a polygon texture like everything else was updated in right way in depth, in dx and dy.
In order to make texture mapping work, we had to go through a number of steps. A number of changes were made to files of polygon, module, drawstate and scanline.
First we created function to handle the texture itself. Texture_create read an image and store its data in a filed of texture structure. Texture_value would take in a boundaries of certain area on the texture and average the colors of all the pixels within it into one color.
Same way as we set normals and colors, we created a new function to set texture coordinates for a polygon and then updated the rest of the polygon functions to handle right that new field. We made texture to be a new object in our modeling system so that our drawstate would have a pointer to the texture when we get to scanline.
In scanline we made for every edge fields like curS , curT , dsPerScan , dtPerScan to handle changing of x and y coordinates of texture for every row.
The final step brought all the things together, where using edge's texture fields we calculated a bounding box of a pixel on the drawn image in terms of texture coordinates, in other words, the area of texture pixels withing a pixel of the image. Then we called Texture_value that average those pixels to give out one color for a pixel to set.
Texture mapped onto three polygons placed differently in the scene.
For this image we modified our Cube function to take texture as a parameter.
So, as one can see, the center cube has a Mandelbrot set texture mapped on all of its sides.
This was a very interesting project to do and although implementing it took a lot of debugging and print statements, it was worth it at the end.

Pandemic 2.0
The cases of human infection with influenza A(H7N9) virus reported in China cannot be called a pandemic. Up to now, there are no signs of human-to-human transmission, as reported by the World Health Organization (WHO). Nevertheless, there is a pandemic which is actually ongoing; we could call it web pandemic 2.0. And is something that does not come without risks.
The virus on the net
Exactly as it happened during the previous pandemic, in 2009, this event was intensely followed and commented about on the internet, particularly on social media. As evidenced by an hashtag-based search on Twitter (Fig. 1), the informative and emotional content of the tweets related to the H7N9 virus in the period from 2nd to 22nd April may be grouped into five categories (see description below).
NEUTRAL refers mainly to messages aimed to spread information, usually with links to statistics and articles.
ALARM refers to messages that express emotionality and fear.
REASSURANCE refers to messages aimed to hinder possible panic reactions with reassurances and practical advices.
CONSPIRACY refers to messages that hint to conspiracy theories.
DISTRUST refers to messages that express distrust over authorities and experts due to their contrasting information.
Also, figures 2 and 3 clearly show how the trends of the number of tweets containing the hashtag 'pandemic' in the last years and in the last twenty days are related with the spread of the H7N9 virus.
A lesson from the past
In 2009, a series of communication mistakes from healthcare authorities cost much in terms of trust and reliability, and left the field clear for the suspect that the pandemic was just a machination arranged by pharmaceutical industries to sell more vaccines. A suspect that shattered the credibility of those institutions that are expected to plan efficient preventative measures in case of a real pandemic.
"Now it is important not to ignore the flow of information that runs through the social media and that may influence the population's behavior and, as a consequence, the course of the pandemic," declare the experts of TellMe, a consortium of the main research centers around the world dedicated to elaborate new rules for an effective 'pandemic communication'.
In these days, both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the ministers of health from several countries have activated daily online updates on the evolution of the Chinese situation. However, in the very early phase of the outbreak, first tweets from the WHO showed a kind of insistence towards the recommendation of alimentary hygienic measures that are clearly helpful but not strictly inherent to influenza virus transmission. These messages sent when transmission modes were not known yet; until proven otherwise, it was reasonable to think that the H7N9 virus spread like any other influenza virus and no one of them proved to be able to be transmitted through food. A similar misunderstanding already occurred in 2009, when the H1N1 pandemic flu, called the "swine" flu, had a heavy impact on economy due to the drop in sales of pork meat. It is thus necessary to not repeat such a mistake now with the poultry. This does not exclude that raw meat can be contagious by contact or inhalation. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were more cautious and published on their website a document with some recommendations to be followed when travelling to China. Even more caution came from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), whose message was probably the most correct since it admitted that, at the moment, there were very few certainties.
Tweets from the authorities
Despite these early issues, the analysis carried out by the TellMe experts revealed that the authorities seemed to have learnt how to take advantage of the potential of the new technologies. The WHO, for instance, immediately and explicitly chose Twitter as a privileged tool for their update about the number of new cases, thus proving to have understood the significant advantages of this social media in terms of risk communication: 1) it is aimed directly to the reader; 2) the 140 character limit dictates the use of short messages that are more likely to be understood; 3) it helps sharing and disseminate these messages.
This sober kind of communication avoided alarms on the one hand and offered transparency – even when remarking what is still unclear – on the other. In this way, it managed to ward off the accusations of plots and conspiracies that often follow this kind of situations. Until now, those movements that are used to see Big Pharma's hands behind every move made by healthcare authorities had not so much room on the social network.
The Chinese colonel
In this respect, the voice that gained more media coverage is that of Dai Xu, a colonel of the Chinese air force who is renown in his country for his strong claims. When news of the first cases of infection with the H7N9 virus arose in Shangai, he suggested that such an infection would have been spread in China by the United States. He said that on Weibo, the social network that in China replaced Twitter, which has been banished. This platform played a main role in the very early day of the outbreak, getting through the censorship that firstly tried to take control of the spread of news about the virus. Xu's claim, reposted by more than 30,000 followers, urged Chinese people to calm down in order not to play into the hands of the Americans who, according to the colonel, already tried to destabilize the Chinese government in 2003 by voluntarily spreading the coronavirus responsible for the SARS.
Internationally, such a suspect has been followed by few other tweets, especially when voices about the new vaccines being prepared with a new technique of synthetic biology developed by Novartis and the Craig Venter Institute. In 2011, US government tested this technique on a virus that was similar to the one now circulating in China; it was named H7N9 too but it was only circulating in birds. «It's just a coincidence,» declared Robin Robinson, director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). Maybe is just due to the favorable media mood, but it looks like social media trusted him, at least for the moment.
Finally, the TellMe study concluded that the response from healthcare authorities to the appearance of the new avian flu virus H7N9 in China has been more proper, transparent and adequate than in 2009. "But there is still room for improvement," insisted the TellMe experts, who also produced a decalogue to sum up the guidelines for an effective communication in case of pandemic. "Communication plans that involve health workers should have been already established, and institutions should have been already active on the main channels – like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube – to report and explain facts also at the national level, to hinder conjectures and exploitations, and at the same time to monitor what is going on in the blogosphere."

We've tried pulling up your record in the system but seems like you haven't emailed us yet. Mind sending us an email again to properly cater your case. Please refer to the email format posted by Coleen_R. We'll be waiting.
I also seem to be falling in under the same circumstances as the above. I tried changing bulbs, updating firmware, checking wiring. It happens every 3 or 4 days. I've just gotten so use to throwing the breaker to get it to unfreeze. The dimmer is only 6 months old maybe. Anyone one else get some help from wemo or are we just stuck with the problem?
Hi, chalhayn. Let's get your case over to our 2nd Level Support Team. Please email us at WemoCares@belkin.com along with your full name, phone number, location, username, and link to this thread.
Hi, Abe. What is the status of the Wemo Dimmer's LED indicator? When did this issue start? Can you still see the Wemo Dimmer on the app's device list?
Try power cycling the Wemo Dimmer by turning on/off the power source (circuit breaker). Also, uninstall and reinstall the Wemo app and see if it crashes again.
I am having the same issue with a couple of my Wemo Dimmer Switches.
Sometimes, the lights will be on and then when I go to turn it off, the switch won't respond. It doesn't seem to matter what percentage the dimmer is at. Sometimes, the lights will be off and when I try to turn it on, the switch won't respond either. In both cases, the app doesn't respond either. Usually, when I go to the app to toggle the switch, the power icon for that light will change from off to on or on to off (depending on what I'm trying to do) but the actualy lights don't respond. Once I close the app and open it back up again, it reverts back to the original state of the power icon before I tried to toggle it.
I tried holding down the LED bar and the indicator lights on the switch would go up and down a couple of times and then stop. I believe this is some kind of a reset procedure but after the indicator lights stop, the switch or the app still doesn't respond.
The only solution I've found is to reset the breaker which is not acceptable for obvious reasons.
Since I've had these installed in March, it's probably happened about 5 or 6 times for each switch and it's always the same 2 switches which leads me to believe it's a hardware issue since the other 3 have worked fine since installation.
If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know. It's frustrating. If someone from Belkin Wemo support reads this, please let me know what I can do. I just want to be able to turn my lights on and off reliably.
We are having the same problem and the app is crashing. Had to flip the breaker. Just want to go to sleep. We've had our dimmers installed about a month.
@Kikikat What's the LED status of the Dimmer? Was it working fine before? Please try to reset the Dimmer manually and through the App then reconfigure it. Check out this article.
Also, make sure that you're using the latest Wemo App version and if it will still crash, uninstall/re-install it.
Went on vacation and one of my dimmers is stuck on. App won't turn it off and I had neighbor push switch and nothing. I have 9 other switches working fine. What the solution?
May we know the LED status of the Dimmer? Do you mean that the dimmer is no longer responding to physical buttons? Also, you may try power cycling it by turning off the circuit breaker and turning it back on.


It was a pleasure working with Guymer Bailey again on this finely detailed bathroom renovation in a residence in The Gap. The project was completed with Petro Builders attention to detail fitting for a design and material palette of this quality.
Penny Round Mosaic feature tiles line the concealed cistern and vanity splashback, complemented by textured Belvedere White Gloss wall tiles. Elborne's Cabinet Making produced a finely crafted vanity and mirror cabinet that form the central feature to the bathroom.

Bishop on Duterte ratings fall: Not our fault
By: Julie M. Aurelio - @inquirerdotnet
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 07:58 AM October 13, 2017
Bishop David at the mass in San Agustin – Lyn Rillon
Church officials on Thursday said blaming the Catholic Church for the fall in President Duterte's ratings is a "convenient excuse" to divert the public's attention from the relentless spate of killings in the past year.
"With all due respect, I'd say, sir, the fall in the ratings is not due to us Church leaders but to the extrajudicial killings themselves," said Caloocan Bishop Pablo Virgilio David.
David, the incoming vice president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), made the remarks following House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez's statement that bishops critical of Duterte and his bloody war against illegal drugs are to blame for the dip in the President's ratings.
The Social Weather Station's third quarter survey showed that Duterte's net public satisfaction and net trust ratings fell to their lowest since he assumed the presidency in June 2016.
From a "very good" rating of +66 in June, the President's net satisfaction ratings dropped to a "good" rating of +48, or a decrease of 18 points.
Alvarez lashed out at the CBCP, claiming it was a source of "noise" that could have caused the President's ratings to slide.
Fr. Jerome Secillano, executive secretary of the CBCP's permanent committee on public affairs, noted that blaming the Church is becoming "a convenient excuse."

"The Church is always a convenient excuse. I'd rather that they look at their own behavior before pointing their fingers at others," he said.
The priest said it might be the likes of Alvarez who "are the ones pulling the President down."
"Alvarez should not make it appear that they are doing what is best for the country…They are the epitome of spoiled, entitled and arrogant politicians the public has come to abhor," Secillano said.
David said the government's denial of the extrajudicial killings under the Duterte administration was not helping at all.
"It does not help at all that the government keeps denying that they're happening. It's obvious that the public is aware of them," the prelate said.

Mt. Kilamanjaro, Tanzania, could be considered one of the largest adventure tourist destinations of the modern epoch. Advertised as the easiest of the seven summits, hundreds of climbers, many new to the world of mountaineering, attempt the Uhuru Peak summit each day. The world of guide-led mountain climbing came as somewhat of a brutal suprise. Behind each climber is three (or more) government-required porters, carrying supplies including your food, water, sleeping equipment, and extra clothing, along with their own very meager personal supplies. This project is a glimpse into life as a local on the tallest mountain in Africa.
Many porters start out in hopes of becoming a certified mountain-guide others fall into portership because of its a high demand, full-time job, available without the need for an education. It is somewhat of a right-of-passage for any local trying to make it in the very competitive tour business. Porters on their first trek can have a difficult time as they are usually underfed and not acclimated to the altitude. Its not abnormal to see porters scaling the Balaclava wall in tennis shoes with holes, sandals with socks, or even Crocs. The twelve porters for your group of four share a single tent, many without sleeping pad or adequate bags.
The Porters spend six to ten days on the mountain at a time, often with only a day off in between trips during the busy seasons. New regulations cap the amount porters can carry at 15kg (32lbs) but they often go unnoticed carrying upwards of 50lbs. What seems grueling for the hikers, appears easy for the porters leaping past with food and water on their head. They rush to get to the top, to set up camp then get as much rest time as possible.

It was gathered that Goja, who is an artisan, stormed the home of his former lover and forced his way into the room. Upon sighting the new lover, Goja reportedly poured acid with the unidentified lover before hacking him to death with an axe wood.
The accused, who is said to have three children with the woman, reportedly conspired with a certain Luper to carry out the act.
Spokesman for the Command , said the ex wife, identified as Kadoon Chia, reported the matter to the police.
She narrated that Goja forcefully gained entrance into her apartment while she was alone with her boyfriend, one Terdoo Shito, along with other suspects, who were now at large.

Google Changes Name to Topeka : April Fools
Loren Baker April 1, 2010
Woke up this morning to the rather strange announcement from Google that the company has now changed its name to Topeka. In honor of Topeka, Kansas … the town that had changed its name to Google. Confused? So are we. :/
From the Official Google Blog :
Early last month the mayor of Topeka, Kansas stunned the world by announcing that his city was changing its name to Google. We've been wondering ever since how best to honor that moving gesture. Today we are pleased to announce that as of 1AM (Central Daylight Time) April 1st, Google has officially changed our name to Topeka.
We didn't reach this decision lightly; after all, we had a fair amount of brand equity tied up in our old name. But the more we surfed around (the former) Topeka's municipal website, the more kinship we felt with this fine city at the edge of the Great Plains.
In fact, Topeka Google Mayor Bill Bunten expressed it best: "Don't be fooled. Even Google recognizes that all roads lead to Kansas, not just yellow brick ones."
Ok, so today is April 1st and yes, this is an April Fools Joke …. APRIL FOOLS! (and a pretty obvious one at that). But it's refreshing to see that Google, which is not just a search engine anymore and is a major tech. communications and media conglomerate, still has a sense of humor.

The very first Ursula Le Guin book I ever read. I return to it on occasion, always finding new things in it. It's also nice to read reviews from people that have discovered it as well. She's certainly an amazing fantasy writer.
I had never heard of her before this review, but turns out she's quite popular!


Fun.'s "We Are Young," featuring Janelle Monae, spends a third week atop the Billboard Hot 100, while Flo Rida jumps into the chart's top 10 with the assistance of pop singer/songwriter Sia.
"Young" logs a fifth week at No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart with 349,000 downloads sold (up 8%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. With the sum, the song passes 2 million in digital sales since its release.
On Radio Songs, "Young" bounds 19-14 with 65 million audience impressions (up 40%), according to Nielsen BDS, granting the song the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer award for a third consecutive week.
As announced last week, streaming data now carries a greater weight on the Hot 100 with the addition of the newly-launched On-Demand Songs chart. Streaming figures continue to help keep "Young" at the Hot 100's summit, as the song, which crowns On-Demand Songs for a second week, drew 1.1 million on-demand streams in the chart's tracking week, according to BDS.
Flo Rida, meanwhile, boasts the Hot 100's lone new top 10 title, as "Wild Ones," featuring Sia, surges 12-9. The track gains on all three Hot 100 chart components: Digital Songs (No. 6; 158,000, up 5%), Radio Songs (35-29; 39 million, up 17%) and On-Demand Songs (18-11; 429,000, up 22%).
Below "Young," the same songs as last week populate the Hot 100's top five.
Kelly Clarkson's former three-week No. 1 "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" holds at No. 2. The song bullets at No. 2 on Radio Songs (118 million, up 1%) while dipping 3-5 on Digital Songs (162,000, down 2%). It ranks at No. 8 on On-Demand Songs with 462,000 streams (up 5%).
The Wanted's "Glad You Came" advances 4-3 on the Hot 100, courtesy of a No. 2 rank on Digital Songs (183,000, down 4%) and a 13-7 jump on Radio Songs (73 million, up 13%). The boy band's debut single rumbles 7-4 on On-Demand Songs (570,000, up 21%).
Adele's former two-week No. 1 "Set Fire to the Rain" descends 3-4 on the Hot 100 and Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know," featuring Kimbra, bullets at No. 5 for a second week. The collaboration, which tops Alternative Songs for a fifth week, climbs 5-4 on Digital Songs (166,000, up 8%) and 45-36 on Radio Songs (36 million, up 21%). "Somebody" remains at No. 2 on On-Demand Songs (778,000).
Nicki Minaj's "Starships" rebounds 9-6 on the Hot 100, returning to its peak position to date and showing gains in all Hot 100 measurement fields. The song rises 4-3 on Digital Songs (172,000, up 6%), 31-21 on Radio Songs (41 million, up 12%) and 13-10 on On-Demand Songs (440,000, up 19%).
The advance of "Starships" pushes back David Guetta's "Turn Me On," featuring Minaj, 6-7 on the Hot 100, along with Drake's "Take Care," featuring Rihanna (7-8).
Below Flo Rida's "Wild," Katy Perry's "Part of Me" rounds out the top 10, holding at No. 10 for a second week. It's the first time that it hasn't fallen since it debuted at No. 1 four weeks ago. "Part" breaks into the Radio Songs top 10 (11-6; 74 million, up 13%) and elevates 41-34 on On-Demand Songs (260,000, up 31%). The song drops 7-10 on Digital Songs (114,000, down 8%) but could yet rebound on the Hot 100; it opened atop the Hot 100 due to strong initial sales but strong airplay gains are now offsetting its sales erosion. Next week's release of Perry's "Teenage Dream: the Complete Confection" should additionally enhance the song's profile and future chart potential.
"We Are Young" and Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" this week become the first songs to sell 2 million copies in 2012. This marks the first time in digital history that two songs have topped the 2 million mark this early in the year. In 2009, Flo Rida's "Right Round" topped the 2 million mark in the week ending March 15, but it was the only song to achieve the feat that week.
Wanna know more? The first song to sell 2 million copies last year was Cee Lo Green's "F**k You (Forget You)," which crossed the threshold in the week ending March 27. The first to do it in 2010 was Train's "Hey, Soul Sister," which scored in the week ending April 4. The first song to sell 2 million copies in 2008 was "Low" by Flo Rida featuring T-Pain, which achieved the feat in the week ending April 13. The first to do it in 2007 was Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend," which hit the 2 million mark in the week ending July 29.
I still don't understand the appeal of "We Are Young" or why it is #1, but with increasing popularity and radio airplay I think it could be in store for a long reign on top.
It's nice to see "Wild One" making such a nice jump into the top 10. It's one of my favorite mainstream hits out there right now, and it deseves to be just as big as "Good Feeling."
I still don't understand the appeal for "Glad You Came," and am honestly surprised that it is in the top 5. I never hear anyone singing it or talking about it.
Otherwise, it looks like Adele and Kelly Clarkson are going to be longevity queens with their singles, much like Rihanna and LMFAO were not too long ago. Nicki Minaj being on two tracks in the top 10 doesn't surprise me, nor does Drake hanginaround with "Take Care."
The Wanted Made history too and you left that unmentioned.
What kind of history ?

State police are investigating a possible sighting of two convicted killers here in tge southern tier, about 350 miles from the prison where they escaped two weeks ago. State police spokesman Beau Duffy says that officers are investigating a possible sighting of the prisoners near the Allegany County hamlet of Friendship, near the Pennsylvania border. He gave no other details. David Sweat and Richard Matt escaped June 6th from the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora... near the Canadian border. Authorities said in a news release Friday that two men fitting the description of Sweat and Matt had been seen a week ago in Steuben County. Allegany County is west of Steuben County. A prison worker has been charged in the escape and a corrections officer has been placed on administrative leave.
New York state is receiving nearly 17-million dollars to support AmeriCorps programs throughout the state. Governor Andrew Cuomo says the money will flow to 14 non-profit organizations to enlist some 1,440 AmeriCorps members. The organizations are involved in promoting education and children's health, disaster preparedness and other public services. Cuomo says New York state's AmeriCorps members do ``critically important work'' around the state by stepping up to serve their communities. City Year, Incorporated will receive the single largest portion of the funds, getting more than 3-million dollars for academic tutoring and mentoring programs in New York City.
Three local youth choirs took part in yesterday's finale for the annual Juneteenth Festival at Jamestown's Chadakoin Park. The Carolyn Pennamon-Faison Gospel Fest concluded the 15th Annual Juneteenth Celebration... and, the head of the event was excited with how it went. Chairwoman Vikeye James says they took last year off to re-focus and re-energize... and, it did the trick. There were several highlights... but, James says the big one was Saturday night's showing of the documentary "Old South" in the park pavillion. James says that community came together in the face of racism and prejudice... but, she adds the residents involved found they had more in common than they had different. Thanks to a break in the weather... James says they were happy to show the film in the park. She says more than 50 people were on hand.
A Rochester-area school has again been named the top school district in the entire, 48-county Upstate New York Region... while three Chautauqua County schools are in the top-100. Business First of Buffalo has named the Pittsford Central District the top one in the Upstate region for the fourth-straight year. In addition... Fayetteville-Manlius of the Syracuse-area was number-two. Business First says each district's rank reflects the collective performance of its elementary, middle and high schools from 2011 to 2014. That's the most recent four-year period for which comprehensive statistics are available from the New York State Education Department. The rating formula has 200 components, ranging from English and math tests for third graders up to the full complement of Regents exams for high schoolers. The top Chautauqua County School district is Bemus Point... which was 34th. Fredonia was 56th in the rankings... while Southwestern was 65th.
A public "visioning session" will be held later his week to begin the process of developing a new, Comprehensive Plan for the village of Lakewood. That from Mayor David Wordelmann... who says the public is invited to attend the meeting at 7 PM Wednesday at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church on Fairmount Avenue. Wordelmann says the current Comprehensive Plan is 45 years-old... meaning it was about the time the Chautauqua Mall was first built... and, Fairmount Avenue was still a two-lane highway. Wordelmann says the village has done a lot of pre-planning work with the village code in a number of areas... including new and used car lots... and, storage facilities. He says there is still one area they still need to wrap up... and, that's business and commercial signage. Wordelmann says the plan will guide both growth and change in the village heading into the 21st Century... and, consider all facets of community life. The consultant helping to draw up the plan is Peter J. Smith and Company of Buffalo.
New York lawmakers have largely stayed true to Albany's reputation for procrastination and back-room dealing despite corruption scandals that highlighted its insider culture. The Legislature planned to adjourn last week but is still working out a deal on one of the year's biggest issues, the renewal of New York City's rent regulations. They briefly expired last week when lawmakers couldn't agree on an extension. The six-month session was especially challenging to its new leaders, Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate Leader John Flanagan. Both took over after the arrests of their predecessors threw the Legislature into turmoil. Despite the turmoil, Albany's way of doing business remains intact. Lawmakers largely ignored calls to overhaul campaign finance and ethics rules, while negotiations on the year's biggest issues are still held behind closed doors.
State lawmakers have voted to allow parents to get paid for providing personal care for their chronically ill or disabled adult children. Sponsors say many special needs children continue to live with their parents, who face the dilemma of having to work outside the home to pay for someone else to care for their son or daughter. The bill would revise the state-administered Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program, which already allows that caregiver to be another family member. It would still prohibit spouses or the person legally responsible for the care and support of the individual be eligible for the program. It also requires that the parent's services are consistent with the disabled or chronically ill person's care plan and at no higher cost than an outside personal assistant.


In the last ten games, the Jazz has lost just once. They have won three in a row, including twice against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team has covered the spread in two of the last three games. Utah is a great team when they are favorites between 5-7 points, but not so much when they are double-digit favorites. They jump as underdogs in Portland. The Blazers have won six of the last six games, but the previous two wins against the Atlanta Hawks and the Phoenix Suns were not impressive.
Those teams have no idea what they are doing this season. During their current winning streak, Portland beat Utah just a few days ago with a 109-104 result on the road. Jazz star Donovan Mitchell scored 36 points, but it wasn't enough. He didn't have any help from the role players.
Hurry up! 533 people have placed this bet!
And that's Utah's problem when facing a team like Portland. The Blazers will have Damian Lillard as their main guy, and he will get his share of baskets. But he will also find help from both Jusuf Nurkic and CJ McCollum. Donavan Mitchell doesn't have those type of players to help him out. These two teams have split victories in the last six games in the series. The only consistent bet is they UNDER has cashed out during the previous five games between the Jazz and the Blazers. Both teams have a great momentum but playing in Portland should lean the balance for the home team. I have the Blazers winning by six.

HC at UGA
The Denver Broncos Beat the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50
By Josie Wall • UGA Contributor February 8, 2016 at 3:35pm
The Denver Broncos shocked the nation tonight as they embrace their win as the Super Bowl 50 Champions of 2016.
The Broncos started out strong 10-0 at the end of the first quarter and never lost the lead ending 24-10 against the Carolina Panthers.
Though the Panthers fought hard, they fell short with only one rushing touchdown from running back Jonathan Stewart. Star quarterback Cam Newton completed 18 out of 41 attempted passes for 265 yards and ran 6 times for 45 yards.
Meanwhile, as the oldest quarterback to play in a Super Bowl, Peyton Manning completed 13 out of 23 passes for 141 yards.
The Broncos had two touchdowns, one rushing by running back C.J. Anderson and a fumble return from strong safety T.J. Ward, including a two point conversion in the fourth quarter. Kicker Brandon McManus was 3-3 in field goal attempts. Offensive linebacker Von Miller received the Super Bowl MVP award of the night.
Though arguably not the best performance from either team, it was a well fought game that will keep us talking all summer long. Until next fall, NFL fans.

Ugljikov otisak (eng. "Carbon Footprint") mjera je ukupne emisije stakleničkh plinova koju izravno ili neizravno uzrokuje neka osoba, proizvod, tvrtka ili događaj.

U ugljični otisak uključeno je svih šest stakleničkih plinova iz  Kyoto protokola: ugljikov dioksid (CO2), metan (CH4), dušikov oksid (N2O), hidrofluorougljike (HFCs), perfluorougljike (PFCs) i sumporov heksafluorid (SF6).

Ugljikov otisak se mjeri u tonama ugljikov dioksid ekvivalenta (tCO2e). Koncept ugljikov dioksid ekvivalenta (CO2e) omogućuje usporedbu učinaka odnosno klimatskih utjecaja koncentracija različitih stakleničkih plinova u odnosu na jednu jedinicu CO2.

(CO2e) se izračunava množenjem emisija svakoga od šest stakleničkih plinova s njegovim 100-godišnjim potencijalom globalnog zagrijavanja (eng.: Global Warming Potential - GWP).
