NSA uses Google's cookies to select surveillance targets, leaked Snowden docs reveal

New documents leaked by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden say that the agency is using small tracking files, known as "cookies," to help select targets for hacking and broader surveillance.
The Washington Post reports that the NSA and its British counterpart, GCHQ, are using the cookies to identify people browsing the Internet. The files contain numeric codes that enable websites to identify a specific person's browser.
According to slides leaked by Snowden to The Post, a particular cookie can also allow the NSA to single out an individual's online communications and send out software that can hack the person's computer. In particular, the report claims that the NSA has gotten much use out of the Google-specific "PREF" cookie, which is assigned to a browser anytime a connection is made to one of the Google's Web properties or services.
According to the Post, cookie information is one of the data forms that the NSA can gain access to with a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act order from a special court. When an order is granted by the court, the company is notified and is compelled to assist the NSA.
Privacy advocates have long argued that consumers should be allowed to opt out of being tracked commercially. Technology companies like Google use cookies as part of an ad-driven business model that pays for customer services like e-mail.

Thanksgiving and NFL unite yet again in 2020

For many families, watching football on Thanksgiving has become just as much of a tradition as the meal itself. Football brings families together in late November to cheer on their favorite team while stuffing themselves with delicious food.
Thanksgiving football was actually once a tradition in high schools and colleges across the United States. President Abraham Lincoln named Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, and the first Thanksgiving Day game was actually played in Philadelphia in 1869 between Rutgers University and Princeton University.
Thanksgiving Day Football in the National Football League actually started in 1934 after George Richard had purchased the Portsmouth Spartans and moved them to Detroit, where they became the Detroit Lions. Richard realized that the city was not as excited about football as they were about baseball, so he started the Thanksgiving Day Football Matchup. The Lions played the Chicago Bears, and after that, Thanksgiving football became a tradition in Detroit and in cities across the United States. The Lions have played on every Thanksgiving since then, with the exception of World War II.
In 1966, the Dallas Cowboys hosted their first Thanksgiving Day game as a way to build their fanbase. That game broke attendance records with over 80,000 fans in the stadium. The Cowboys have played on all but two Thanksgivings. In 2006, the NFL added a third game to the lineup, which is not fixed to any specific team.
In 1989, the NFL introduced the Turkey Leg Award. The award was first given by John Madden to Eagles defensive end Reggie White. Today, the Turkey Leg Award is presented to the MVP or MVPs of the Thanksgiving Day primetime matchup. After the game, you can often see players eating their turkey leg on TV, highlighting the holiday spirit after a competitive game.
Historically, there have been some exciting matchups on Thanksgiving. In 2005, the Denver Broncos and the Dallas Cowboys played and were tied 21-21 before overtime. After the Broncos won the coin toss, on the second play of overtime, backup running back, Ron Dayne had a 55-yard run that allowed the Broncos to win the game with a field goal on the next play.
In 1998, the Detroit Lions and the Pittsburgh Steelers had a close game in overtime. During the overtime coin toss, Jerome Bettis, one of the Steelers' captains, mumbled heads/trails during the coin toss, and the referee didn't hear what he actually said, so the Lions got the ball first, which allowed the Lions to win.
Lastly, the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers played in 1994 on Thanksgiving. With the first and second string quarterback injured, Jason Garrett was able to lead the Cowboys to victory, throwing more yards than Brett Favre with fewer passes. Garrett threw 311 yards on 15 completions, whereas Favre threw for 247 yards on 27 completions. Garrett went onto become the Cowboys head coach in 2010, but he made a little history well before then.
This Thanksgiving, the Houston Texans will play the Detroit Lions, the Washington Football Team will play the Dallas Cowboys and the Baltimore Ravens will play the Pittsburgh Steelers. There are plenty of games, so take some time between rounds of food to enjoy a little football.

Congratulations for taking up the role of a student leader! A wide spectrum of activities such as social camps, networking events, bazaars, fundraising and youth expedition projects, just to name a few, awaits you. These activities are a great way for you to get acquainted with friends with similar interests and to contribute to campus vibrancy.
It is with these considerations in mind that the office of Student Affairs (OSA) has put together this Resources for student leaders to ensure that they are well equipped when organising student activities. In drafting these guidelines, OSA is mindful that these are relevant to changing needs of students. In this way, student organisers will be able to optimise the available resources to organise rewarding, enjoyable and enriching activities.
In order that student groups formed can be sustained, OSA has implemented these guidelines on the formation of new interest groups (IG).
To form an IG, the Executive Committee has to conduct a presentation to OSA (content to include past events, plans for funding, sustainability etc). Subsequently, there will be an evaluation by OSA and IG will be on trial for one academic year, if successful.
The committee would then have to submit a report by end of AY (content to include summary of events organised during trial and proposed plans for following year). There will be a second evaluation by OSA for IG to be formalised as an official IG.

Cheshire teen charged after police seize more than 5 pounds of drugs in Wallingford
Edward Nigretti
Wallingford police seized large quantities of marijuana, mushrooms, drug paraphernalia, cash and other items, following a motor vehicle crash on Center Street Wednesday.
By Michael Gagne, Record-Journal staff
WALLINGFORD — A 19-year-old Cheshire teen faces charges after police said they seized more than five pounds of drugs — including marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms — and more than $6,000 in cash following a motor vehicle crash Wednesday afternoon.
The incident began around around 4:30 p.m. when police were dispatched to a motor vehicle crash near 350 Center St. with a possible intoxicated driver.
Officers learned the driver and passenger of a 2014 Honda CRV, which had been the vehicle at-fault in the crash, changed seat positions before they had arrived.
The driver of the Honda, Edward Nigretti, 19, of Cheshire, fled the scene to hide a backpack and a cooler. Nigretti returned to the accident scene without those items, police said.
Police said Nigretti told them the crash occurred because he had taken his eyes off the road to look at his cell phone's GPS app. He also said he was driving without a license.
Nigretti led officers to where he had stashed a backpack and cooler filled with drugs and a wallet filled with cash, police said. Officers administered field sobriety tests, which led them to charge Nigretti with driving under the influence.
Investigating officers also observed what appeared to be drug paraphernalia in Nigretti's vehicle in plain view.
According to police, officers recovered about one pound of marijuana, 23 ounces of THC extracts, about 10 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, more than two-and-a-half pounds of marijuana edibles, along with drug packaging materials and more than $6,000 in cash.
Police charged Nigretti, 19, of Cheshire, with illegal possession of more than half-an-ounce of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, driving under the influence, possession of alcohol by a minor, interfering with a police investigation, operating a motor vehicle without a license, using a cell phone while driving and following too closely.
Police said Nigretti was released after posting $5,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in Meriden Superior Court on Oct. 9.
Police also charged Nigretti's passenger, Hannah Ferrall, 18, of Cheshire, with illegal possession of marijuana, paraphernalia and interfering with police.
Officers discovered Ferrall was in possession of about three ounces of marijuana, 12 grams of mushrooms, along with paraphernalia, police said. She was released on a promise to appear in Meriden Superior Court on Oct. 9.

Home|Business|Contract signed for Cat Island piped water
Contract signed for Cat Island piped water
Chester Robards Send an email December 22, 2020
Adrian Gibson.
The Water and Sewerage Corporation (WSC) signed a contract yesterday with Island Site Development (ISD) to begin the laying of 12 miles of pipes that will provide Cat Island homes and businesses with piped, potable water for the first time.
WSC Executive Chairman Adrian Gibson, who was on the island to carry out the signing, said the Cat Island water project will cost $3.1 million and will be completed in no more than 12 months.
The Cat Island project is part of a Bahamas-wide Caribbean Development Bank Water Supply Improvement Project, which is being funded by a $28.33 million loan from the bank, with counterpart funding of $13.3 million from the government of The Bahamas.
Gibson said the project will also comprise the construction of two reverse osmosis plants, one in Bennett's Harbour and one in Doud's.
"The construction of these plants will be executed under a separate contract," said Gibson.
He said the areas to initially be supplied with water are the New Bight Settlement, proceeding south through the settlements of Doud's and Moss Town and ending at the Old Bight Settlement.
"All residents of Cat Island currently obtain water from private wells, rainwater, standpipes or water tankered from public well fields, which are subject to changing weather patterns, drought or sea water infiltration, resulting in interrupted water supply and/or poor water quality, especially salty water," said Gibson.
"It is also very expensive to put in these private systems and on the flip side, much more expensive to purchase tankered water. Access to water is a basic human right and we hope to ensure that for the people of Cat Island."
When the project is complete, there will be about 290 service connections, according to Gibson.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Works Desmond Bannister, who was also on hand for the signing, said it has been his dream to ensure that "world-class infrastructure is available for all Bahamians".
"We want to ensure every person in Cat Island has running water," he said.
Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Dr. Hubert Minnis, who brought remarks at the event, said his government is focused on the need for critical infrastructure for the Family Islands.
"Access to water is a fundamental right for human beings," Minnis said.
He called on Gibson and Bannister to develop a strategic and financial plan to take piped, potable water to every home on Cat Island "within the shortest possible time".
"This is a new beginning for the health and wealth of Cat Island," said Minnis.

Q: Click Events with Leaflet and GeoJSON How do I attach a click event to a GeoJSON that then executes an Ajax function when clicked. I looked into onEachFeature but that executes when the GeoJSON is loaded, not when clicked, thus executing a ton of ajax calls!

A: just another way as inline function
geojson = L.geoJson(your_data, {
style: style,
onEachFeature: function onEachFeature(feature, layer) {

layer.on('mouseover', function (e) {
  // e = event
  console.log(e);
  // You can make your ajax call declaration here
  //$.ajax(...
  });}).addTo(map);

A: You were on the right way with onEachFeature.
It's just you have to bind event click on each element.
See below (tested)
function whenClicked(e) {
  // e = event
  console.log(e);
  // You can make your ajax call declaration here
  //$.ajax(...
}

function onEachFeature(feature, layer) {
    //bind click
    layer.on({
        click: whenClicked
    });

When you are staying away on holiday you just want it to be comfortable and stress free. Look no further than Travelodge Super rooms. Hi tech and effortless, no need to be ringing down to reception constantly for items you need as it is all here on tap.
I love staying in London and when I do I just want it to be clean and convenient, for a one night express stay or even a week to explore the city the Travelodge Super rooms are perfect.
We stayed in the Farringdon room situated between Kingscross and Farringdon station. Just a 15 min walk from central London. Perfect for a trip into the West-end or a historic walk around the city of london with some of its trendy bars.
Mattresses was firm but really comfortable with a choice of firm or soft hypoallergenic pillows. Black out curtains and even usb power points by the side of the bed.
I loved the style of the rooms really contemporary in blues and greys and a a really cool picture of London on the wall.
Your own lavazza Coffee machine for fresh coffee first thing. A spacious desk for books or laptop with a desk lamp.
There was even a bottle opener for a cheeky beer whilst you are getting ready.
My favourite thing was the mood lighting, I thought it would just be a few lights that would be a gimic. But in the middle of the night when you wake up and forget where you are and you are faffing around trying to find the light switch these little beauties light up up as you approach them to guide the way.
It was a really nice touch having everything in the room ready without having to ask. An iron and an ironing board brilliant for when you are rushing about trying to get ready. Spare cushions in two different types, Little extra touches that you wouldn't normally expect.
The Travelodge Super rooms are well designed and nice and tidy. Restaurant cards are stacked nicely on the wall not laying around the side. Nice size Tv and an extra mirror directly next to the hairdryer, I can not tell you the amount of rooms I have stayed in where there is no plug socket by the mirror!
Plenty of towels, A cosy chair and 30 minutes of free Wi Fi. What more could you possibly need? we loved our stay at in one of the Travelodge Super rooms.
This was my own personal opinion on this room.
Previous Post The face behind the blog, overcome self consciousness in photos.
Never heard of 'Super Rooms' but this looks amazing! Would love to try one out. Black out curtains are a must for me! Do they have them in lots of places?
A decent coffee machine is a brilliant touch! Looks great!
These rooms look lovely! Contemporary and budget friendly !
It's the little extra touches that make a difference. I like the idea of a de-misting mirror!

This talk explores the mobility of motorcycle taxi drivers in Bangkok as well their adoption of it during the Red Shirt protests of 2010. I analyze how the drivers' physical mobility through traffic shapes their ability to find unexplored routes in the social, economic, and political landscapes of the city and to create paths for action where other urban dwellers see a traffic jam or a political gridlock. Such ability, I argue, directed their roles in the street protest which blocked the center of Bangkok. When the everyday life of the city broke down, this talk will show, the drivers took advantage of their position in urban circuits of exchange to emerge as central political actors in contemporary Bangkok by blocking, slowing down, or filtering the circulation of people, goods, and information which they normally facilitate. In this sense, they reveal the fragility of state power in the Thai capital and its inability to control these mobile subjects.


If it Won't Hold Water, it Surely Won't Hold a Goat (2014) explores interspecies relationality through an intimate meditation on the subversive nature of goats and their effect on the people who spend time with them. Centered on the story of the legendary Goat Man - a nomadic figure who spent most of his life walking the roads of Georgia with a wagon pulled by a herd of goats - this experimental documentary weaves together interviews with local women goat farmers, footage of the daily rituals Johnson enacted with her own herd, and a poem about the Goat Man's experimental and spectacular life.
Alongside the creation of the video, Johnson founded The West Georgia Goat Association, a local group dedicated to fostering collaboration between farmers through the sharing of information and meals during a series of farm visits and workshops.

Unions lose challenge to Michigan right-to-work law
Michigan Radio | By The Associated Press
LANSING, Mich. (AP) - A judge has rejected a challenge from opponents of Michigan's right-to-work law who claimed people were illegally locked out of the Capitol when lawmakers debated the legislation in 2012.
Court of Claims Judge Deborah Servitto ruled in favor of the Legislature and dismissed the lawsuit Friday. She says the rights of the public were not impaired when the Capitol was temporarily closed by state police due to overcrowding.
Servitto says members of the public and news reporters were in the House and Senate. Neither chamber approved the bills while the Capitol was closed.
Workers can't be required to pay union dues or fees under the right-to-work law. Opponents wanted the law struck down, saying closing the Capitol violated Michigan's open meetings law.

Yellowjackets Season 2 Release Date, Cast, Plot And Other Details
Yellowjackets Season 2: If The 14 has left you with more questions than answers, at least you know there's more of the show to come. Yellowjackets has been picked up for a second season by Showtime. Given the positive reviews and widespread interest in the show since its debut in November, this is not a shock.
Gary Levine, head of Showtime's entertainment division, stated in a statement, "Yellowjackets has been an undiluted sensation for Showtime." "We are overwhelmed by both the plaudits and the audience response to our series, including multiple 'Best of 2021' lists, a 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes and snowballing viewership. Clearly there is a need for creativity and audacity, and our brilliant showrunners Ashley, Bart and Jonathan, along with their pitch-perfect ensemble, have provided that and so much more. I'm excited to see what twists and turns Season 2 brings.

Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, the showrunners of Yellowjackets, recently spoke with The Wrap and revealed that the second season of their drama is scheduled to premiere in early 2023.
We're looking at the first quarter of 2023," Lyle said. We are on a schedule very similar to last season, although we will need to shoot an extra episode due to having already filmed the pilot. I anticipate that filming will conclude in early to mid-February, with broadcast to follow soon thereafter.

Actress and alternative rock singer Juliette Lake Lewis was born on June 21, 1973 in the United States. She has made a name for herself by playing eccentric roles in films with gloomy undertones. After acting in a number of critically acclaimed indie and art house films in the early 1990s, Lewis was dubbed the "it girl" of American cinema. She has been recognised with the Pasinetti Award, as well as nominations for the Academy Award, the Golden Globe, and the Primetime Emmy.
Lewis, who is the daughter of character actor Geoffrey Lewis, had her film debut in a small role in My Stepmother Is an Alien when she was only 14 years old (1988). Soon after, she had a more substantial part as Audrey Griswold in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989). After that, she became a household name because to her role as Danielle Bowden in Martin Scorsese's 1991 version of Cape Fear, for which she received Best Supporting Actress Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.
Canadian actor, producer, and decorator Rukiya Bernard was born on January 20, 1983. Famous for her part as Doc in Syfy's Van Helsing, as well as her roles in The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008), The Cabin in the Woods (2012), and Stuck, she has a long list of acting credits (2007).

Toronto, Ontario is where Rukiya Bernard was born to parents Nyakiringa Magugu, who owned an African art business, and Gilbert Bernard, who ran a car wash. Rukiya's parents enrolled her in numerous sports and art classes beginning when she was very young. She took part in basketball and track while studying classical ballet, karate and music. She was admitted into Ryerson University's theatrical department from which she graduated with honours.
Alex Wyndham, born in England on January 1st, 1981, is a well-known actor for his portrayal of Gaius Maecenas on the HBO series Rome.
His education began at Winchester College, and he later earned a degree in history from Oxford, where he was active in the student theater. Even while still a student, he was actively performing on stage, including a tour of Japan with an OUDS production of Love's Labours Lost.
After that, he went to London to study at RADA and eventually graduated in 2005. Wyndham completed extracurriculars such as a camera acting course at the BBC Elstree Centre, a certificate in armed and unarmed combat from the British Army Service Corps (BASSC), and a black belt in Shotokan karate from the first degree (1st Dan). He's quite talented, with a wide range that includes period dance, Flamenco, and baritone singing. His passions outside of work are sports, cinema, exploration, the guitar, and visual arts.
yellowjackets season 2

When Yellowjackets returns for a second season, there will be a lot of questions to be answered. That is the first episode's mystery female who the rest of the soccer squad devoured? Whoever erected that spooky log house out in the middle of nowhere should be held accountable. Why the heck is Tai acting like this?
Nonetheless, Lottie's ascent to cult leader status in the past and her subsequent resurgence are likely to be at the heart of the conflict. She had Nat kidnapped at the end of the first season, so it's probably up to Shauna, Tai, and Misty (citizen detective that she is) to rescue their friend. One problem is that Shauna has to deal with the fallout from murdering Adam, especially now that her daughter Callie knows; another is that Tai is possessed by a supernatural force that causes her to behead dogs; and a third is that Misty has just poisoned Jessica.

Democratic lawmakers set sights on a Missouri where kids don't find and shoot loaded guns
Will Schmitt
WSCHMITT@NEWS-LEADER.COM
Democratic lawmakers will again try to criminalize firearms storage that allows children to find guns and potentially hurt themselves or others.
In the Missouri House, St. Louis County Rep. Stacey Newman told the News-Leader she'll be re-filing a version of her previous bill that would make it a Class D felony to knowingly leave "a readily available, loaded deadly weapon" in the presence of anybody younger than 17. To meet Newman's standard for security, gun owners would either have to put a trigger or cable lock on their weapon, remove the ammunition or put the firearm in a safe.
In 2015, Missouri led the nation in instances of toddlers getting their hands on loaded firearms, pulling the trigger, and hurting or killing themselves and others, according to an analysis by the Washington Post.
"Little kids are shooting other little kids with a gun they can't legally own," Newman said, noting that children under 6 seem particularly susceptible to these sorts of shootings. "... This bothers me a great deal, not just as a legislator but as a parent."
Newman acknowledges that as a Democrat, her bill is unlikely to gain traction. She couldn't think of a Republican lawmaker she could work with, saying that the National Rifle Association "has bought and sold the entire Republican Party" in Missouri and that she is "appalled at the callousness" of politicians "who don't understand and don't seem to care that these kids' lives could be saved."
Newman also is the co-founder of the Childrens Firearm Safety Alliance, which collects like-minded people in the medical, policing and legal communities to combat unintentional shootings by and of children.
Senate Bill 89, filed by Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal of University City, is the latest in a line of bills Chappelle-Nadal has filed that aims to crack down on unauthorized access to guns. Like Newman's bill, it criminalizes reckless storage of firearms, but Chappelle-Nadal's version includes other provisions.
SB 89 would create the crime of "negligent storage of a firearm" for parents or guardians of minors whose children find a gun and either take it to school or use it to hurt somebody or commit a crime if the parent or guardian was "grossly negligent" in storing the firearm, according to a summary of the bill.
This would be a Class A misdemeanor, but if somebody is killed or hurt as a result of the child getting their hands on a gun, the act becomes a Class E felony.
Chappelle-Nadal's bill also creates the crime of "failing to stop illegal possession" for parents or guardians who know their children illegally possess a firearm and fail to either stop the child or report the matter to law enforcement. The punishment schedule for this offense would be similar to the other offense.
The University City Democrat also proposes requiring parents and guardians to report firearms ownership to officials of their child's school within 30 days of enrolling a child or buying a firearm. Failing to tell the school about a firearm could lead to fines.
The NRA and gun-rights activists regularly oppose any legislation seen as an infringement of the Second Amendment. Instead of laws, the NRA suggests its Eddie Eagle GunSafe program, which aims to teach kids how to act if they find a firearm.
Advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety has recorded nine instances of a Missouri minor unintentionally killing or injuring somebody with a gun so far in 2016. In late October, a Kansas City 5-year-old reportedly shot and killed his 3-year-old brother with a gun he found on top of a fridge and thought was a toy.
"If you cannot legally own a weapon, you should not have access," Newman said.


Peter Kramer/NBCRemember when Lady Gaga's former personal assistant sued her for back pay, claiming she'd been overworked and treated unfairly? Well, now the same thing is happening to Mariah Carey.
The New York Post reports that the former staffer, Ylser Oliver, is claiming in a lawsuit that starting in 2007, she worked 16-hour days for Mariah, and never got any overtime, despite doing everything from packing for Mariah, cleaning her house, answering phones, shopping for her, arranging for services and repairs to her house, and "caring for" her family and friends. Oliver quit this year.
He added that Oliver is suing for "a significant amount" of money, because she was entitled to time-and-a-half if she worked more than 40 hours a week.

Coronavirus immunity 'only lasts a few months after infection', according to study
Researchers at the Imperial College London and Ipsos MORI found in their study testing positive to coronavirus doesn't mean people are are immune

The largest COVID-19 antibody testing programme involving 365,000 participants across England has found coronavirus immunity only lasts a few months.
Researchers at the Imperial College London and Ipsos MORI found antibody response over time varies depending on a person's age and symptoms.
Over 365,000 adults tested themselves at home using a finger prick test over three months this year to check if they had antibodies against covid.
Researchers estimated just 4.4% of adults had some form of immunity against Covid-19 in September, as cases of the killer virus began to surge agian.
According to the study 6% found to have antibodies between June 20 and July 13, and 4.8% between July 31 and August 31.

Between 20 June and 28 September those who tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies declined by 26.5%.
The findings suggest antibodies reduce in the weeks or months after a person is infected.
The results of all three rounds of antibody testing indicate the first wave of the epidemic occurred over a relatively short period in March and April.

It also found there was a steep decline in the proportion of people who reported having COVID-19 symptoms.
Researchers also found there was a fall in those who tested positive for antibodies from early April, two weeks after national lockdown.
The results suggest that people who did not show symptoms of COVID-19 are likely to lose detectable antibodies sooner than those who did show symptoms.
The findings also show the loss of antibodies was slower in 18–24 year olds compared to those aged 75 and over.

Michael Owen tips Edinson Cavani to succeed at Man Utd on one condition
Health Minister Lord Bethell said:"This study led by Imperial and Ipsos MORI is a critical piece of research, helping us to understand the nature of COVID-19 antibodies over time, and improve our understanding about the virus itself. We rely on this kind of important research to inform our continued response to the disease, so we can continue to take the right action at the right time.
"It is also important that everyone knows what this means for them – this study will help in our fight against the virus, but testing positive for antibodies does not mean you are immune to COVID-19.
"Regardless of the result of an antibody test, everyone must continue to comply with government guidelines including social distancing, self-isolating and getting a test if you have symptoms and always remember Hands, Face, Space."
The number of people testing positive for antibodies declined gradually in the population regardless of employment type.
The number of health care workers testing positive for antibodies didn't change over time.

The jobless rate for Black college graduates has been 4.1 percent over the past year, compared to 2.4 percent for White college graduates.
It's no secret there are racial disparities when it comes to unemployment in America. The Black unemployment rate has consistently been double the amount for Whites. A new study released by the Board of Labor statistics revealed that the gap is still prevalent regardless of education status. The jobless rate for Blacks with a college degree had been 4.1 percent over the past year, compared to 2.4 percent for White college graduates. The unemployment rate for people who only have a high school diploma was 4.6 percent for Whites and 9.6 percent for Blacks. Blacks without a high school diploma had a 16.6 percent jobless rate, while the rate for Whites was only 6.9 percent. "The broader significance of this disparity suggests a race penalty whereby blacks at each level of education have unemployment rates that are the same as or higher than less educated whites," said Valerie Wilson, director of the Economic Policy Institute's Program on Race, Ethnicity, and the Economy. "Persistent disparities in unemployment are constant reminders of how race continues to have an undue influence on life in this country." Read more.
Black men are often painted in a negative light in the media industry and a new web series is looking to change that. The series, titled "The New Stereotype: The Reclaim," was created to show positive examples of men of color and shape the way they are perceived in the media. The web-isodes, which are featured on Vimeo, were created by Marquelle Turner-Gilchrist, a Harlem-based assistant buyer for a luxury fashion brand. Turner-Gilchrist enlisted his friends and other people via social media who work in a range of different career fields to be featured in the project. Turner-Gilchrist said that he wanted to "show the diversity and strength of black males." … "In order to truly create a 'stereotype' there must be frequency and consistency… For now, the idea is to continue to spread the imagery and message and investigate ways to elevate the project," he said.

Tim Story will direct the project and Kate Angelo will write the series. Minaj will serve as executive producer. "This is one of the more unique adventures I've ever embarked on," said Minaj in a statement. "I couldn't be more proud and excited to team up with an amazing group of people to give the world something really special." The series will be centered on Minaj's upbringing in Queens. Read more.

Eric Ripper
Deputy Premier; Treasurer; Minister for State Development
New member for the ERA
Treasurer Eric Ripper today announced the appointment of Steve Edwell to the Economic Regulation Authority (ERA) as a part-time member.
"Steve Edwell brings with him a wealth of experience in the energy industry, particularly in the regulation of access to monopoly infrastructure, and experience within both the public and private sectors," Mr Ripper said.
In May last year Mr Edwell was appointed by the Ministerial Council on Energy as the inaugural chair of the new Australian Energy Regulator (AER).
As chair, Mr Edwell has responsibility for the assessment of proposed Access Arrangements for electricity networks and similar responsibilities for natural gas pipelines in jurisdictions other than Western Australia. These responsibilities complement those of the ERA.
Prior to chairing the AER, Mr Edwell performed impressively as the Executive Director of WA's Electricity Reform Implementation Unit, which was responsible for reforming the electricity industry in WA.
Mr Edwell replaces Dr Ken Michael, the new Governor of WA, and joins chairman Lyndon Rowe and part-time member Chris Field on the ERA board.
Mr Ripper thanked Dr Michael for his valuable contribution to the ERA.
"Dr Michael made a significant contribution to economic regulation in WA as our first rail and gas access regulator and as an foundation member of the ERA," he said.
The ERA manages the economic regulation of key industries in WA through the licensing of gas, electricity, rail and water industries. The authority also undertakes inquiries referred to it by Government.

Dr. Zhang offers a comprehensive approach to evaluating and treating disorders and injuries affecting the upper extremities. His goal is to restore function using the most effective nonsurgical and surgical treatments available.
Dr. Zhang knows that surgery is not always the best course. Using state-of-the-art technology and the latest nonsurgical treatments, Dr. Zhang can resolve hand problems in his office in less than an hour.
If surgery is the best option, patients can rely on his expertise with the newest and best treatments, including endoscopic procedures and minimal access surgery, and innovative microsurgical techniques.
Dr. Zhang adheres to a strict code of ethics. As a faculty member of UT Southwestern, he mentors future surgeons, and also leads continuing education programs for practicing physicians from all over the world. Patients can rely on Dr. Zhang's expertise in dealing with any hand problem, ranging from simple injuries to complex disorders.
A pinched nerve in the wrist. There is a tunnel (the carpal tunnel) in the wrist where the median nerve and nine tendons pass through. The nerve is pinched when swelling in tunnel puts pressure on the nerve. (See photo). It affects 1/20 people.
Severe thumb arthritis can impact the patient's ability to grasp items. Dr. Zhang carefully considers both non-surgical methods and surgical treatment options.
Abnormal thickening of the tissue just beneath the skin of the palm and fingers. Over time the scaring can draw the fingers toward the palm causing contracture and impair function of the hand. It affects men more than women and more prevalent and severe in patients of Northern European decent.
Ganglion cysts are very common lumps within the hand and wrist that occur adjacent to joints or tendons. They are like little water balloons. The most common locations are the top of the wrist and the palm side of the wrist.
Inflamed tendons can cause the thumb or fingers to lock. Dr. Zhang may perform a surgery that allows the affected tendon to glide more freely.

County solicitors support Fylde land sale which aims to fund community hub at church
Rev Stephen Heath and James Yates of Vincents Solicitors at Church Road Methodist Church, Church Road, St Annes.
Tim Gavell
Vincents Solicitors has provided legal support for a land sale by a St Annes Church. The Church Road Methodist Church sold a 1,221 sq m plot of land to Great Places Housing.
The money raised will help towards funding the redevelopment of the church site, which included several buildings in addition to the church itself, to create a new Community Hub.
The ambitious £320,000 project will see old structures demolished, new extensions added, space reworked and remodelled.
The new facility, which is set to open early in 2019, will be home to the hugely popular Wesley's Café which was trialled last year, providing healthy affordable meals, classes and a chance for people to come together. The Hub will also house a community space, meeting rooms and the Fylde foodbank, which is currently in temporary premises.
Reverend Stephen Heath, minister at the Church Road Methodist Church, said: "We're delighted the plot, which didn't feature in our redevelopment plans, was able to be sold to help fund this amazing project. Huge thanks to Vincents for their detailed and patient work in getting it sorted, it will be great to see the plot used to provide affordable new homes for local people.
"The Community Hub and Wesley's Café are a huge investment for the church, but it will be worth it. Fylde Foodbank has run from the church since its Trustees saw the growing need for its service. We also trialled the Wesley's Café and found there was enormous interest from people wanting to buy and make, healthy affordable meals.
"I see The Hub being used by everyone, from the toddler groups and community choirs which already meet at the church, to new youth groups and senior clubs we'll be able to host. The café itself will not only provide refreshment but will become a place where we can try to tackle the issues facing our community such as social isolation, food poverty, and joblessness."
The plot, which previously housed a day centre for older people, is set to become four houses and six apartments for affordable rent. Work is already underway on both projects, with demolition and foundations having been completed for both by main contractor Tyson Construction.
James Yates, commercial property solicitor for Vincents, said: "It was important to get this sale right for the Methodist Church, as the future of the project depended on it. It was particularly complex as the sale involved portioning off part of the site, while the church retained the rest, but we worked closely with Reverend Heath to secure the best outcome. It's great to see the project is now underway and we're looking forward to watching it progress and getting involved with helping out at The Hub when it's all up and running."
Fundraising is ongoing to cover the full cost the redevelopment. Members of the church completed a 400-mile Six Counties bike ride this summer, donating an additional £6,000, and the team is hoping to stage other events over the coming months.
Anyone wanting to find out more about the project, to provide support or fundraising, can contact Rev Stephen Heath on 07711 917 955.
"Music to our ears": Virgin boss Richard Branson pleased by rail industry review


ENGLAND fans may only be able to see Fabio Capello's side clinch World Cup qualification on the internet.
While the Three Lions will book their place at South Africa 2010 by beating Croatia at Wembley on Wednesday night, if they fail to overcome Slaven Bilic's men – and Ukraine defeat Belarus on the same night – the next chance they will get is in Ukraine on October 10.
TV rights for that match were sold to Setanta by international football agency Kentaro.
However, following the collapse of the Irish pay-TV operator earlier this year, no other broadcaster has stepped in – and it currently looks as though there will be a TV blackout of the game .
Instead, Philipp Grothe, chief executive of the Kentaro Group, has now instructed digital sport specialist Perform, to market and stream the match online, on a pay-per-view basis.
