It's the botched Scriptural reference that keeps on giving.
Three-and-a-half years after then-candidate Donald Trump referred to "Two Corinthians" at Liberty University, the future president's botched pronunciation (in the minds of most) of "Second Corinthians" is enjoying another 15 minutes of fame.
This time it's the New York Times focusing on this insider evangelical baseball:
Furious after he was criticized by evangelicals for stumbling in his reference to a book of the Bible during the 2016 campaign, Donald J. Trump lashed out at "so-called Christians" and used an epithet in describing them to a party official, according to a new book.
Mr. Trump's anger was aroused after he stumbled in an appearance at Liberty University by referring to Second Corinthians as "Two Corinthians" as he was competing for the votes of evangelicals — traditionally critical to a Republican's success in the Iowa caucuses — with Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.
Allies of Mr. Cruz's, including Bob Vander Plaats, a well-known evangelical leader in Iowa, seized on the slip-up to taunt Mr. Trump.
According to a new book, "American Carnage: On the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War and the Rise of President Trump," by Tim Alberta, the chief political correspondent for Politico Magazine, Mr. Trump was incensed by Mr. Vander Plaats and others "hanging around with Ted," and referred to them in the most vulgar of terms.
I'm curious to know exactly what Trump reportedly said, but I couldn't find any longer reference to the president's (alleged) words in a quick Google search.
Trump's reported reference to "so-called Christians" is fascinating, especially considering how many of the president's critics have used similar language to characterize him.
But the Times doesn't elaborate on that reference or offer any additional context. This is a quick-hit political story, not an in-depth examination of faith in the Trump era.

It's time for another trip into my GetReligion folder of guilt. That's where news features go that I know are important, but I cannot — quickly — spot the issue that is nagging me.
Thus, the story gets filed away, while I keep thinking about it.
In this case, we are talking about a Washington Post story that is an important follow-up on the newspaper's investigation into charges of corruption against Catholic Bishop Michael J. Bransfield of West Virginia — an important disciple of the fallen cardinal Theodore "Uncle Ted" McCarrick. Click here for the first GetReligion post on this topic, by Bobby Ross, Jr.
The headline on this new expose states: "Warnings about West Virginia bishop went unheeded as he doled out cash gifts to Catholic leaders." Yes, this story is about money, money, money and then more money.
Oh, there is some signs of sexual harassment of seminarians in there, but that doesn't seem to interest the Post team. And there are hints that some of the conflicts surrounding Bransfield may have had something to do with Catholicism. Maybe. Hold that thought because we will come back to it. Here is the overture:
Senior Catholic leaders in the United States and the Vatican began receiving warnings about West Virginia Bishop Michael J. Bransfield as far back as 2012. In letters and emails, parishioners claimed that Bransfield was abusing his power and misspending church money on luxuries such as a personal chef, a chauffeur, first-class travel abroad and more than $1 million in renovations to his residence.
"I beg of you to please look into this situation," Linda Abrahamian, a parishioner from Martinsburg, W.Va., wrote in 2013 to the pope's ambassador to the United States.
But Bransfield's conduct went unchecked for five more years. He resigned in September 2018 after one of his closest aides came forward with an incendiary inside account of years of sexual and financial misconduct, including the claim that Bransfield sought to "purchase influence" by giving hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash gifts to senior Catholic leaders.
"It is my own opinion that His Excellency makes use of monetary gifts, such as those noted above, to higher ranking ecclesiastics and gifts to subordinates to purchase influence from the former and compliance or loyalty from the latter," Monsignor Kevin Quirk wrote to William Lori, the archbishop of Baltimore, in a letter obtained by The Washington Post.
Then there is the big thesis statement:

Mormons and ex-Mormons in full — covered in a tech-centric publication, no less
Journalist Lauren Larson has done a remarkable thing.
Writing for The Verge, a tech-centric publication within the Vox family, she has shown how it's possible to treat both sides in a contentious issue with overall fairness. Much of her work in "The website that helps people leave the Mormon Church" simply involves following a journalist's natural curiosity and then writing about what she has discovered.
To be sure, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints takes the harder punches in Larson's report. She quotes such remarks as "I suppose to her, families are forever, unless someone comes out as trans" and "**** bigoted old men." The implication: Who could possibly disagree with such copper-bottomed examples of inclusivity and logic?
Larson takes the further step that's becoming less common in journalism today: Actually daring to talk to the people who are taking shots from the cultural left.
The result is a report that shows occasional sympathy for both sides, and shows even some of the church's stronger critics as conflicted in their emotions about leaving, or not yet leaving.
Starting near the top of the report, here's a section that shows how the Web has made it easier for people to leave. Throughout the report, Larson's references to the Church mean the body no longer known as "Mormon":
In recent years, the Church has been embattled by the efficiency of the internet. It's never been easier to stumble across information that contradicts the pillars of faith. That's true for many religions but especially Mormonism, which has a very recent history. Where the unsavory specifics of an older faith's origins may have been eroded by time, reduced to a handful of too-old-to-question texts and some shriveled relics, the early years of Mormonism are well-documented and easily examined online. The internet has also given Mormons new platforms, from forums to podcasts, where they can share their findings. The result has been a mass undoctrination.
That language about "too-old-to-question texts" and "shriveled relics" makes my teeth hurt, but I salute Larson's coinage of the witty antonym undoctrination.

The story is about a Texas church offering free weddings for cohabiting couples who agree to undergo premarital counseling.
The publication is the New York Times.
So it's no surprise that the feature eventually gets around to same-sex marriage and how the church involved won't allow it.
But overall, it's an interesting piece.
Let's start at the top:
A few months before Kelvin Evans married his live-in girlfriend, Pa Shoua Pha, in 2016, uncertainty gripped him.
"I had convinced myself that I wasn't going to have any more children," said Mr. Evans, 44, the father of two boys from a previous relationship. But his girlfriend, he said, wanted to start a family and "it became a huge sticking point."
Fortunately, the couple had a support network through the Concord Church, a nondenominational Christian church, in Dallas. Alongside five other cohabiting couples, they signed up for a "step into marriage" challenge and worked out their issues. On Aug. 27, 2016, all six couples, plus 19 other couples who also took the challenge, married in a mass ceremony. Mr. and Ms. Evans now have a daughter, Ava Naomi, who was born this past March, and Mr. Evans couldn't be happier. "If I was doing any better," he said, "it would probably be illegal."
"If I was doing any better, it would probably be illegal." Love it! I appreciate it when the writer rewards the reader with a great quote up high.

This certainly was not your typical media storm about a Baylor University graduate who achieved fame in the ministry by heading to Washington, D.C., and then to New York City.
However, the fall of the Rev. Amy Butler from the high pulpit of Manhattan's world-famous Riverside Church offers readers a classic journalism case study illustrating the differences between New York Post readers and New York Times readers. It's also educational to note that the religious themes in this controversy played little or no role in either report.
Starting with a classic A1 headline, the Post editors knew what would zap readers awake while reading in their subway cars:
The reason for her ouster is far more stimulating than any sermon this pastor could have delivered.
The Rev. Dr. Amy Butler, the first woman to lead Manhattan's famed Riverside Church, lost her lofty post amid complaints that she brought ministers and a congregant on a sex toy shopping spree and then gave one of them an unwanted vibrator as a birthday gift, The Post has learned.
On May 15, Butler allegedly took two Riverside assistant ministers and a female congregant to a sex shop in Minneapolis called the Smitten Kitten, during a religious conference, according to sources familiar with the out-of-town shopping excursion.
At the store, the pastor bought a $200 bunny-shaped blue vibrator called a Beaded Rabbit for one minister — a single mom of two who was celebrating her 40th birthday — as well as more pleasure gadgets for the congregant and herself, sources said. The female minister didn't want the sex toy, but accepted it because she was scared not to, sources said.
The great Gray Lady, on the other hand, knew that the readers in its choir would want a story rooted in sexism, patriarchy and workplace politics. The headline, as you would imagine, was a bit more restrained: "Pastor's Exit Exposes Cultural Rifts at a Leading Liberal Church."
The sex toys angle made it into the Times story, with a nod to Post coverage, but readers had to wait a few extra paragraphs to find that angle. Here's the overture:
When the Rev. Dr. Amy K. Butler was hired to lead Riverside Church in Manhattan in 2014, she was hailed as a rising star, the first woman to join a distinguished line of pastors at one of the pre-eminent progressive Protestant congregations in the United States.

Evangelicals, Julia Duin, Books
Last week, a story came out about a kid whose near-death experience developed into a book about how he saw heaven while comatose later became an embarrassing mess when the child denied the whole thing.
Written by Ruth Graham of Slate, it's a meticulously researched piece about the boy, his mom, a dad who's evaded press interviews until now and the gullible Christian book industry. It's long, it's detailed and it's rather sad.
It's pretty unconventional in terms of religion news. How many sites would run something this detailed about a kid (or his father) who takes the Christian book industry for a ride? If you pay attention to the details, this is a sobering look at the sometimes confused state of evangelical doctrine, these days.
After describing the car accident that nearly killed the boy, the article continues:
Six years later, a book was published that would become a sensation. The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven—with Kevin and Alex listed on the cover as co-authors—tells the saga of Alex's improbable survival. But it wasn't that medical miracle that launched the story to fame. In the book, Alex claimed he had spent time in heaven after the accident, and continued to be visited by angels and demons after he emerged from his coma two months later. He wrote that he traveled through a bright tunnel, and was greeted by five angels, and then met Jesus, who told him he would survive; later, he saw 150 "pure, white angels with fantastic wings." Heaven has lakes and rivers and grass, the book says. God sits on a throne near a scroll that describes the End Times. The devil has three heads, with red eyes, moldy teeth, and hair made of fire.
Of course publishers jumped at this bait.
The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven sold more than 1 million copies and spent months on the New York Times' bestseller list. It was also on the leading edge of a boomlet of "heaven tourism" stories in Christian publishing, including Heaven Is for Real, a memoir about 4-year-old Colton Burpo's experience that came out later in 2010 and was eventually adapted into a movie starring Greg Kinnear. Time magazine published a cover story in 2012 titled "Rethinking Heaven," opening with Burpo's story — even more detailed than Alex's — about seeing a rainbow horse and meeting the Virgin Mary.

After Tyler Skaggs' death, baseball gods smile on Angels in the outfield and on the pitcher's mound
Baseball is a religion all its own, full of traditions, rituals and unexplained miracles.
Anybody who ever has seen the movie "Field of Dreams" — or watched the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs finally claim World Series titles — knows that. (Eventually, my beloved Texas Rangers have to win the big one, right?)
Sometimes, the gods — the baseball gods — make their presence known in ways that even nonbelievers must find impossible to ignore.
How else to explain what happened in Anaheim, Calif., on Friday night?
Here's how ESPN described what happened:
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mike Trout shook his head.
"You can't," he said, pausing for a moment to gather himself. "You can't make this stuff up."
The Los Angeles Angels scored seven first-inning runs Friday night. They finished with 13. Tyler Skaggs' birthday is on the 13th day of the seventh month, which just so happens to be Saturday.
"I'm speechless," Trout said. "This is the best way to honor him."
The Angels honored Skaggs with an emotional ceremony before their first home game since his sudden death on July 1. They honored him by donning his No. 45 jersey. They honored him by inviting his mother, Debbie Hetman, onto the field for the ceremonial first pitch. And they honored him, improbably, with a combined no-hitter, delivered by Taylor Cole and Felix Pena in a 13-0 trouncing of the Seattle Mariners at Angel Stadium.
Angels manager Brad Ausmus called it "one of the most special moments I've been a part of on a major league field in 25 years."
"You feel like it's partly Skaggsy's no-hitter," he said.
A Hollywood ending?

Donald Trump is not going to be beaten just by insider politics talk. He's not going to be beaten just by somebody who has plans. He's going to be beaten by somebody who has an idea what the man has done. This man has reached into the psyche of the American people and he has harnessed fear for political purposes.
"So, Mr. President — if you're listening — I want you to hear me please: You have harnessed fear for political purposes and only love can cast that out. So I, sir, I have a feeling you know what you're doing. I'm going to harness love for political purposes. I will meet you on that field, and sir, love will win."
— Marianne Williamson's final statement in first debate for Democrats seeking White House in 2020.
Anyone want to guess what this particular candidate might use as the anthem that plays at the beginning and end of her campaign rallies?
I'm thinking that it might be something that honors the 1992 bestseller — "A Return to Love" — that made her a national sensation back in what people called the New Age era. Something like this: Cue the music.
I focused quite a bit on that book's old New Age theology in my recent post ("Evil, sin, reality and life as a 'Son of God': What Marianne Williamson is saying isn't new") about a fascinating New York Times feature about Williamson and her decision to seek the White House. I thought it was appropriate that the Times gave so much attention to the religious themes and concepts in her work, instead of going all politics, all the time.
But, truth be told, the key question discussed in this week's "Crossroads" podcast — click here to tune that in — focused on mass media, celebrity, religion and, yes, politics, all at the same time.
Look again at that debate quote at the top of this post and give an honest answer to this question: Would that quotation be receiving more attention if the candidate who spoke it was someone named Oprah? How about this person's candidacy for the Democratic Party nomination?
Williamson is being treated as a bit of a novelty, frankly, even though millions of Americans — on the elite coasts, but also in the heartland, because of her role as a spiritual guide for Oprah Winfrey.

A famous steakhouse off Interstate 40 in Amarillo, Texas, offers a free, 72-ounce steak.
The only catch: You must eat it all in one setting.
On a reporting trip this week, I stopped there for lunch. Spoiler alert: I didn't order the 4.5-pound hunk of beef. I chose something slightly smaller.
While I savor the delicious memories, let's dive into the Friday Five:
1. Religion story of the week: This may not be the most important story of the week. In fact, veteran religion journalist G. Jeffrey MacDonald questioned on Twitter whether it's news at all.
But I'm fascinated by the coverage of a little-known Mississippi gubernatorial candidate who invoked the "Billy Graham rule" in declining to allow a female journalist to shadow him for a day. I wrote about all the national media attention state Rep. Robert Foster has received — and the lack of details on Foster's actual religious beliefs — in a post Thursday.

Pandemic has Curling Canada facing Olympic trials qualifying complications
Teams and duos with trials berths already in hand will keep them
Jul. 11, 2020 10:30 a.m.
Curling Canada has been forced to re-think qualification for the Olympic team and mixed doubles trials after cancellations and postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Teams and mixed doubles duos ultimately must win events or collect enough points at events to earn berths in the 2021 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings and the national mixed doubles trials in early 2022.
The Roar of the Rings men's and women's champions and the victorious mixed doubles duo will represent Canada at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing.
The trimming of the Grand Slam of Curling from six events to two next season impacts teams' opportunities to earn Olympic qualification points.
So Curling Canada declared the qualifying process on "hold" on Friday.
"The safety of our athletes is our prime consideration and we don't want to put them under any kind of duress to be trying to participate in events to pursue qualifying points until we know they can do so safely," Curling Canada high-performance director Gerry Peckham said in a statement.
"Until that time comes, we will look closely at the qualifying process and consult with our athletes to fine-tune the system to make sure it identifies Canada's most deserving nine men's and women's four-player teams and 16 mixed doubles teams."
Teams and duos with trials berths already in hand will keep them.
Teams skipped by John Epping, Brad Gushue, Rachel Homan and Kerri Einarson have qualified for the Roar of the Rings in Saskatoon from Nov. 27 to Dec. 5, 2021.
The pairings of Jennifer Jones and Brent Laing, and Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant own berths in the mixed doubles trials Jan. 3-6, 2022, in a city yet to be named.

The Arctic Council's Iqaluit meeting: nine things you need to know
The Arctic Council sticks together; the U.S. stresses climate change
By JIM BELL

If you're wondering what all the fuss was about and don't have time to read the many documents the Arctic Council's eight ministers accepted April 24 at their Iqaluit meeting, don't fret.
We did the reading so you don't have to.
Here's a short summary of highlights from the April 24 Arctic Council ministerial gathering in Iqaluit.
And if you don't trust our interpretation, you can find all the source documents here, including the Iqaluit Declaration, the Senior Arctic Officials report to ministers, and copies of the various agreements and frameworks that ministers approved.
1. The sealing war with the European Union? It's over.
Canada and the EU are once again making nice with each other, following agreements that will let Inuit seal producers take advantage of an exemption that will allow their products into the EU market.
And after blocking it in 2013, Canada now backs the EU's desire for full observer status at the Arctic Council.
"I can start off by saying that Canada supports the EU application for full observership," Nunavut MP Leona Aglukkaq said April 24 at a news conference.
The EU's big problem now is Russia, which would likely veto the EU's Arctic Council observer bid in retaliation for the EU-Ukraine economic agreement that is bitterly opposed by Russia and by pro-Russian fighters in eastern Ukraine.
The EU's subsequent economic and diplomatic sanctions against Russia won't endear them to the regime of Vladimir Putin either.
In any case, the Arctic Council has postponed all observer applications until at least 2017, pending a review of observer issues that will likely lead to a report for the U.S. ministerial meeting that year.
2. Under the U.S., climate change is back on the Arctic Council's agenda.
"It is not going to come as a surprise to anyone that addressing climate change is a key pillar of the United States chairmanship program, just as it is, in fact, a key part of United States foreign policy writ large today," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters.
He praised the Arctic Council's April 24 framework agreement on reducing black carbon and methane emissions, two short-term climate forcers that accelerate the pace of Arctic warming.
He also said the U.S. wants an "ambitious" global agreement on reducing carbon dioxide emissions at the big climate change conference to be held in Paris this December.
3. The Arctic Council still thrives in spite of the worst East-West crisis since the end of the Cold War.
Despite the dirty little war in eastern Ukraine and the nasty diplomatic slanging match that puts Europe and the United States on one side and Russia on the other, the Arctic Council has hung together.
Yes, Russia has become the neighbourhood bad boy. But Russia's Arctic regions contain more land and more people than any other member state.
On April 24, most speakers from the Arctic Council's eight member states and six permanent participant organizations said conflicts elsewhere should not be allowed to damage the Arctic Council's co-operative work.
4. The Arctic Council will go to work on telecommunications.
Sick of your lousy, expensive internet and cell phone services? The Iqaluit Declaration, reflecting a U.S. chairmanship agenda item, will set up an infrastructure experts group to produce a circumpolar telecommunications assessment for the 2017 Arctic Council ministers' meeting.
And they want to "explore ways" to improve telecommunications in the Arctic.
Yes, they're moving slowly. But at least they're talking about it.
5. The Arctic Council is still moving on oil spill prevention and response.
As a follow-up to the May 2013 oil spill prevention agreement signed in Kiruna, Sweden, Arctic Council ministers have signed off on an action plan framework aimed at preventing oil spills from either petroleum activity or marine transportation.
It's non-binding and mostly voluntary — but the eight nations agree to co-operate and share information on a wide range of issues related to emergency response in the Arctic.
6. A big question mark still hangs over the Arctic Economic Council.
U.S. officials say they will continue to support the Arctic Economic Council, Canada's showcase project for its chairmanship.
But the AEC's three working groups have yet to start functioning. That's because there's no funding for any of them yet.
7. If you're a supporter of protected areas, the Arctic Council brought some good news.
On April 24, ministers agreed to a framework for a pan-Arctic network of marine protected areas.
8. If you're an Arctic scientist, you have reason to smile as well.
The Iqaluit Declaration contains a commitment to create a legally binding agreement on scientific co-operation by 2017.
9. The circumpolar indigenous partners are still underfunded.
Arctic Council member states are more aware of indigenous peoples than ever before.
For example, they now pay homage to indigenous traditional knowledge in most of their policy statements.
But they still haven't figured out a way to provide stable funding to permanent participant organization's like the Inuit Circumpolar Council and the Arctic Athabaskan Council.
On the other hand, they now welcome "new approaches to support the active participation of Permanent Participants, and welcome the work done by Permanent Participants to establish a funding mechanism."
But so far, no one has offered to take out their cheque book.

A two-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom duplex in a historic Upper West Side townhouse is going for $3,950/month. Layout-wise, there's an open living/dining room, a corner one-bedroom, a sizable kitchen, and at least six closets. There is a wood-burning fireplace, as well as a private outdoor space that measures roughly 500 square feet.
In the Two Bridges section of the Lower East Side, a one-bedroom has a net effective rent of $3,919/month. There's a sizable living room, an open kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, a bathroom with marble floors, and a washer/dryer unit.

Carry It On: A Musical Legacy
PBS-HD 6 will be airing "Carry It On: A Musical Legacy" in honor of Mary Travers, who tragically passed away this week. Watch it Saturday, Sept. 19 at 10:20 p.m. on PBS-HD6 by Hector Gonzalez Tweet
The last PBS show from Peter, Paul and Mary, "Carry It On: A Musical Legacy" shares the four decade long career of Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey and Mary Travers. The trio recalls the beginnings of the cultural revolution of the 1960s when music emerged as a unifying force midst the hopeful, idealistic and sometimes turbulent, movements of social change. "Carry It On" features rare archival performances of songs that energized the spirit of the nation's cultural and political renaissance.
These performances include "Blowin' in the Wind" from the 1963 March on Washington where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his legendary "I Have a Dream Speech," "The Times They Are a Changin'" sung at the Newport Folk Festival of 1964, and their first televised performance of their breakout hit song, "Lemon Tree." With "Puff, The Magic Dragon" the Trio created an essential song of childhood's innocence lost. Their "Wedding Song" is sung at more American weddings than not. "Light One Candle" is sung in synagogues, as well as churches, from coast to coast. "Leaving On a Jet Plane" continues to be one of the most popular love songs of all time. And their anthems such as "If I Had A Hammer" ring as urgently now as ever.
Many of the show's performances are signature songs from the Trio's four highly acclaimed PBS Specials that have aired over the past two decades. Woven together with the varied musical performances are poignant comments from the Trio, Pete Seeger, Richie Havens, Ronnie Gilbert of The Weavers, and legendary record producer Phil Ramone, among others. Bringing us up to date, this new special also includes intimate, behind the scenes, rehearsal and studio performances from the Trio's newest recording, "In These Times."
Mary Travers passed away September 16, 2009 after successfully recovering from leukemia through a bone marrow/stem cell transplant, but eventually succumbing to the side effects of one of the chemotherapy treatments, according to the website PeterPaulandMary.com. Travers, of the 1960s folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, passed away at the age of 72.

Even for a company that has spent nearly 50 years helping customers across a wide range of industries find the ideal materials handling equipment for the job — from forklifts of all sizes and capabilities to heavy-duty straddle carriers — our recent collaboration with Casco Bay Steel proved to be an extremely challenging project.
After all, it's not every day that you're called upon to help devise a custom solution that enables the Northeast's leading bridge fabrication company to effortlessly unload 80,000-lb. steel girders, move them through a relatively small warehouse opening to undergo precision fabrication and then back out into a busy, bumpy steel yard — in a fraction of the time the job used to take. But in reality, that's just another day in the life at NITCO.
Casco Bay Steel of South Portland, Maine, is a longtime NITCO client whose business grew a lot faster than President and CEO Bryon Tait ever dreamed it would when he founded the company in 1997 after working for many years as a bridge welder.
As business boomed, Casco Bay's beams got bigger and bigger. Their challenge involved moving long, heavy steel around their worksite and loading the finished girders for transport by rail and barge to highway bridge projects throughout New England and beyond. The job required an ever-evolving fleet of rugged, durable materials handling equipment.
Years earlier, NITCO had provided two 30,000-lb. forklifts to load and unload the massive girders. Next came a 52,000-lb. lift truck, and then another. For a time, the innovative owner was using two heavy-duty lift trucks to muscle loads as large as 80,000 lbs.
Bending and shaping these gargantuan structures also demands incredible precision and the ability to meet strict specifications (sometimes within 1/10,000th of an inch, according to a Portland Press Herald article about this amazing company). As the jobs kept getting bigger and his needs evolved, Tait was very innovative in creating specialized equipment and infrastructure needed produce and move the beams.
Not too long ago, he wanted to find a way to more efficiently move beams into a warehouse whose entrance was 20 feet wide and 20 feet high — where he and his team work their magic — and then haul the shaped steel back outside onto the unevenly surfaced dirt yard for storage and delivery.
Most traditional forklifts are simply not designed to haul 170-foot-long girders back and forth across the rough surfaces of an industrial steel yard, and Tait was considering options that included renting a crane. Upon returning from a structural steel conference in Florida, he described seeing a small replica of a straddle carrier and showed Shafer a brochure from its manufacturer, Combilift. He was eager to learn more and Shafer went right to work.
Combilift, founded in Ireland in 1998, describes itself as "the acknowledged global leader in the long-load handling market." One of its signature products is a line of straddle carriers built to easily handle shipping containers and other long, heavy loads.
Shafer brought in the regional Combilift rep to give Tait more information about the machines (lifting capacities 44,000-180,000 lbs.) and to help brainstorm an innovative solution for this unique challenge. The Combi's all-wheel-drive, multidirectional capabilities — enabling each wheel to move, and turn, independently — makes it well-suited for rough terrain. However, factory models were not designed to fit through a 20-foot-high space.
Exact measurements were taken, aerial photos of the yard were produced and, ultimately, a senior Combilift engineer flew out from Ireland to collaborate on a custom design for a machine that collapsed down from a height of 30 feet to just barely squeeze through the warehouse's 20-by-20-foot opening.
Shafer also put together a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis to justify how the new investment would pay for itself. "We had to prove it to him and we also had to adapt (the equipment) to his operation," he said.
Most companies will never have to worry about hauling 80,000-lb. loads of precision engineered bridge girders. But the solution NITCO put in place for Casco Bay Steel is another powerful example of its ability to leverage ongoing relationships with world-class partners in all areas of materials handling and logistics, storage and distribution, systems design and engineered solutions to help customers improve efficiency and profitability.
"We're a solutions company," Shafer said while describing NITCO's successful and ongoing collaboration with Casco Bay Steel. Contact NITCO — problem solved.

FAQ – Opposition against an EU designation of an IR
Since 2004 it has been possible to designate the EuropeanUnion (EU) in an International (WIPO "Madrid Protocol") Registration (IR) under WIPO code "EM". In that such a designation covers 28 countries and 500+ million consumers, this is a quite popular to get trademark protection in Europe. However, about 25% of all EU designations are met with an opposition, and special rules apply.
When is the opposition period against an IR?
The opposition period is between the 1st and 4th month after the date of receipt of the IR by EUIPO, the EUTM authority. If an opposition is lodged too early, EUIPO will not process it until the 6th month.
Is it possible to extend the opposition period?
No. Nor is there any possibility of "postponing" the opposition period. It is possible, though, within the opposition period, to lodge relatively rudimentary Notice of Opposition on a "barebones"
basis. This can be substantiated at a later stage, by filing argumentation, documentation, etc.
Can the opposition be in a foreign language?
Yes. There are five official languages at EUIPO. Every EUTM and every EU designation has two languages, and it is possible to lodge an opposition in either language. Thus If the one language is English and the other is Spanish, then it is allowed to lodge the opposition in Spanish, even though the applicant is from an English speaking country or would otherwise prefer to defend the opposition in English.
Is it necessary to have a representative from the EU to defend such an opposition?
Yes, if the applicant does not have a domicile in the EU there is a requirement that they be represented by counsel domiciled in the EU. This could be an in‐house counsel of a European subsidiary.
What is the opposition procedure?
Upon receipt of an Notice of Opposition, EUIPO, the EUTM authority, will forward this to the attorney of record at WIPO. If there is no EU representative, EUIPO will state that one must be appointed by a certain date, usually within 2 months, or else EUIPO will send the Notice directly to the applicant and inform them an EU representative must be appointed. Thereafter EUIPO will then check the Notice of Opposition for formalities, and if EUIPO is satisfied that at least one basis is well‐founded, EUIPO notifies the parties that the "cooling‐off" period has commenced. This two (2) month period, extendible once at the joint request of both parties for 22 months, is designed for the parties to explore whether the matter may be settled somehow. If extended, either party can unilaterally "opt out". In the event one basis is well‐founded but there are deficiencies in relation to other bases, the Opponent will have to remedy these at the latest two (2) months after the cooling‐off period.
What happens if the matter is not settled within 22 months?
After the "cooling‐off" period has ended, the matter can be suspended at the joint request of both parties.
What if the matter cannot be settled (further opposition procedure)?
Two (2) months after the end of the "coolingoff" period, the Opponent can substantiate the opposition with further arguments, evidence, etc. Two (2) months thereafter (or longer, in the event the Opponent has indeed filed further arguments, evidence, etc.) the Applicant must file a response. Extensions of this responding term for cause are common. Two (2) months after receipt of Applicant's response, the Opponent may file a rebuttal, followed by Applicant's final observations. Thereafter a decision is made.
Can the goods/services at which the opposition is directed be expanded after the end of the opposition period?
No. An opposition can be directed at all or part of the goods/services covered by the application, but it is not permitted to expand the goods/services at which the opposition is directed at a later date.
If the opposition is only directed at specific goods/services, and the applicant deletes those items, is the opposition over?
Yes, it is deemed not to have commenced. Thus it is important to note at which goods/services the opposition is directed.
Can the applicant demand proof of use of the opponent's rights?
Yes, if the opponent's rights had been registered more than five (5) years prior to the date of publication of the EUTM application. This demand must be sent prior to or together with the Applicant's first response.
Does the losing party have to pay the winner's costs?
The losing party to an opposition proceeding is liable to pay the costs of the successful party, subject to certain ceilings. For attorneys fees, the relevant ceiling is 300 euro in the event no Hearing nor expert testimony is involved (both very rare). If the applicant is unsuccessful, the opposition fee (350 euro) must also be reimbursed. Thus in most cases the opponent risks having to reimburse 300 euro while the unsuccessful applicant risks being liable to pay 650 euro. The same rules apply on appeal with higher fees.
What happens if the applicant does not respond to the Notice of Opposition?
EUIPO will render a decision on the merits, which means that the applicant could win or lose, and be awarded/be liable for an award of costs, see above.
Is it possible to appeal an opposition decision?
There is an appeal as a matter of right to the EUIPO Boards of Appeal, thereafter to the General Court and from there is an appeal as a matter of right to the Court of Justice of the European Union.

WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - Scientists using images from an orbiting NASA spacecraft have detected eight sites where huge ice deposits near the Martian surface are exposed on steep slopes, a potential source of water that could help sustain future human outposts.
While scientists already knew that about a third of the surface of Mars contains shallow ground ice and that its poles harbor major ice deposits, the research published on Thursday (Jan 11) described thick underground ice sheets exposed along slopes up to 100 metres tall at the planet's middle latitudes.
"It was surprising to find ice exposed at the surface at these places. In the mid-latitudes, it's normally covered by a blanket of dust or regolith," loose bits of rock atop a layer of bedrock, said research geologist Colin Dundas of the US Geological Survey's Astrogeology Science Center in Flagstaff, Arizona, who led the study.
The latitudes were the equivalent on Earth of Scotland or the tip of South America.
The researchers used images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has studied the Martian atmosphere and terrain since 2006, including the history of apparent water flows on or near the surface.
The findings showed that ice may be more available than previously known for use as water to support future robotic or human exploration missions, perhaps even the establishment of a permanent Mars base. The water could be used for drinking and potentially conversion into oxygen to breathe.
"Humans need water wherever they go, and it's very heavy to carry with you. Previous ideas for extracting human-usable water from Mars were to pull it from the very dry atmosphere or to break down water-containing rocks," said planetary scientist Shane Byrne of the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, a co-author of the study in the journal Science.
"Here we have what we think is almost pure water ice buried just below the surface. You don't see a high-tech solution," Byrne added. "You can go out with a bucket and shovel and just collect as much water as you need. I think it's sort of a game-changer. It's also much closer to places humans would probably land as opposed to the polar caps, which are very inhospitable."
The deposits were found at seven geological formations called scarps, with slopes up to 55 degrees, in the southern hemisphere and one in the northern hemisphere.
"Our interpretation is that this is consolidated snow deposited in geologically recent times," Dundas said.


The new Nike Magista 2, a design that emphasizes evolution in touch and traction.
After reading research around evolution and morphology, I was interested in the hypothesis that pruning hands were an evolutionary development for maintaining grip on wet surfaces and tools. That got me thinking about how the foot might have adapted had its primary purpose been football.
Accordingly, for the Magista 2, Woodman reimagined the original Magista silhouette — a design that, with its mid-height collar and Nike Flyknit technology, changed the look of footwear and redefined feel and touch on the pitch — to further the boot's tactility and tighten the gap between the brain and ball.
We were focused on sensory amplification through feel. By delivering a better feel for the ball, players are able to confidently create on the pitch without distraction.
Woodman worked with the Nike Sports Research Lab to define which parts of the foot are most sensitive to touch and mapped those against high-touch zones gleaned from slow-motion film study of ball control. The data collected in this research was visually applied to a foot model in the form of a heat map, revealing significant overlap in areas of high sensation, effectiveness and engagement.
Equipped with this information, Woodman began 3D printing test uppers featuring peaks and troughs of varying dimensions. This was a marked transition from the upper of the original Magista, which was uniform throughout.
We envisioned the upper of the Magista 2 performing as an organic extension of the foot. The texture is podular and cushioned, designed to communicate with a player's sense of touch when the ball comes in contact with it.
The peaks and troughs on the upper utilise the same amount of materials as the original Magista through the use of negative space. The highest peaks (4.5mm) are in the premium touch areas, aligned with where the foot should come in contact with the ball.
This is the next step in the application of Nike Flyknit. The pixel precision of Flyknit makes it possible for us to create dimension without adding weight or overlays. We used to build texture atop the upper, now the upper itself is textured.
These developments are also seen in the more anatomically contoured Dynamic Fit Collar, designed to accommodate the shape of the ankle bone while leveraging a thicker knit structure for additional coverage. The revamped collar also dips lower on the tendon for comfort. The tongue-less solution now features light padding under the laces for coverage in this high contact area.
The fluid colors adorning the Magista 2 reflect not only the heat map that guided its design, but also the smoother transitions throughout the boot's upper, especially from collar to foot.


Once the site of an early 1900's camp, this wooded site on Lake Minnetonka was the perfect setting for this humble 860 sf residence steeped in architectural history. With a myriad of reclaimed building materials and architectural antiques to use for the construction, this cottage feels as if it were taken right from the Loire Valley of France. The open plan differentiates it's "rooms" with the use of ceiling beams, posts, and ceiling changes, with rooms that share spaces while being functionally efficient.

Hollyweird is the sixth studio album by American glam metal band Poison, released on May 21, 2002 through Cyanide Music and debuted at No. 103 on The Billboard 200 chart and No. 8 on the Independent Albums chart and sold 11,000 copies in its first week. As of 2022, it is the band's most recent album of original material.

Musical style
The record brought together Poison's original line-up for the first full studio project since Flesh & Blood. The result was a combination of old and new sounds, with guitarist C. C. DeVille frequently preferring pop and punk rock sounds to the heavy metal style that had characterized Poison's previous records. The band's new style was particularly evident in the songs "Emperor's New Clothes", "Livin' In the Now" and "Home (C.C's Story)", which featured DeVille on lead vocals.

Production and marketing
In the face of major label offers that would have required the band to re-record old material, the band decided to release the album through their own label, Cyanide Music. Hollyweird was recorded at Henson Recording Studios, in Hollywood, California and Rock Central Studios in Sherman Oaks, California with producer Thom Panunzio and engineer bob koszela.

Songs
The album's themes revolve almost exclusively around the trials and tribulations of success in Hollywood, California—a theme that had previously been explored in the band's single "Fallen Angel" from their second album Open Up And Say... Ahh!.

The first single released from the album was Rockstar, which was released on the web as a preview for the album; the second single was a cover of The Who song "Squeeze Box".

Bobby Dall on The Who cover "Squeeze Box"

"Shooting Star" was also released as a single for the album and was referred to as part 2 to the Fallen Angel single from Open Up And...Say Ahh.

I was detained on two separate occasions. First was after serving a 10 month custodial sentence. The home office detained me for another 8 months. This was between 2012- 2013, then I was released in December of 2013 and detained again in August of 2014. I was first detained in HMP Hewell, then HMP Wormwood Scrubs, then Harmondsworth IRC.
Considering the level of suffering and my thirst for freedom, I opted to leave in January of 2015 voluntarily and I've been trying to get back to my four children ever since. It's been nearly three years without my kids. Bear in mind I lived in the UK well over 12 years before all of this.
Commercial and social shackles are generally unjust, oppressive, and impolitic. As an immigrant, I chose to live in the UK because it is one of the free and most vibrant nations in the world. And as an immigrant, I feel an obligation to speak up for immigration policies that will keep the UK the most economically robust, creative and freedom-loving nation in the world. Immigration is a necessary component of economic growth.
Believe me, I understand the majority's anguish about immigration, but what I can't and will not understand is the racism. I will support concrete and progressive immigration reform based on three primary criteria: family reunification, economic contributions, and humanitarian concerns.

Here's the scoop: Recently, the Austin City Council voted unanimously to explore developing a city-wide paid sick days policy.
Tell your Council Members "Thank you & Keep it up!" → Voice your support for paid sick days and sign our thank-you card for each member of the Austin City Council!
It's important that we thank each of our Council Members for voting to kick off the process of passing paid sick days in Austin — and let them know we fully support the introduction of a strong and comprehensive paid sick days ordinance!
It's a HUGE deal that the Austin City Council is moving forward on earned sick days because 37% of workers in Austin (that's 223,000 Austinites) can't earn a single paid sick day right now.
Danita is right! Paid sick days are a win-win-win for Austin's working families, businesses, and local economy.
We want Austin to be a city where no parent has to make the impossible choice between staying home with a sick child — and losing a day's pay or even their job — or sending their little one to school sick so that they can keep food on the table and make ends meet.
QUICK SIGNATURE: Thank the Austin City Council for their unanimous vote and voice your support for paid sick days!
Letting your Austin lawmakers know that you strongly support the introduction of a paid sick days ordinance can make all the difference for the city's working families and their economic security. For an average family without paid sick days, just 3.5 days of missed work due to a cold or the flu is equivalent to an entire month of groceries.
Don't forget to thank your Council Members for moving paid sick days forward – and let them know you are in full support of a strong and robust ordinance!
Together, we're a powerful force for women and families in Austin.
Take Action: Paid Sick Days for Austin!


In any breaks in necessity – between semesters, breaks at work, children otherwise occupied, no "required" readings or commissioned work, etc… – with each passing season, I gradually discover what matters most to me (literarily speaking, which, for me, involves much of my lived life) – perhaps I might refer to it as my meaning-making-factory-resources (Blanchot says of Borges that he is "an essentially literary man – which means that he is always ready to understand according to the manner of comprehension that literature authorizes)." At this point in my living, over four decades along, and a large percentage of the pie devoted to reading, those voices I turn to, their messages and efforts, have become quite consistent. Each year there are new ones, new threads and concepts, theories and expressions that very significantly impact my living – but they tend to find their place as commentaries, extensions, additives and queries to what (I suppose) now forms my central "canon" of sorts.
a host of Google's "related images" arose – including Borges, Lispector, David Foster Wallace – and I got that vision of how pantheons develop and connect and gradually form a kind of woven semiotic pattern – a "worldview" or "Innenwelt" I guess – it begins to make sense what's connected to what and whom to whom throughout time and space of world-being. Beckett, Blanchot, Dostoevsky, Pessoa, Rilke, Cixous, Kafka, Bakhtin, Jabes, these visions and verbals I return to again and again and again and again – inexhaustibly – and although my copies are nearly glutted with markings and underlinings – and they feel intimate and familiar (on the one hand) – that I also feel I am always learning them anew, freshly, with EVERY read.
and now we're heading off to the wilds – to be desperately human with-world with-family – replete with above-mentioned authors and without wi-fi or internet services!
Wonderful thought process that you share here- I look forward to reading these books.
Thanks for the introduction – off to order a copy. Have a good trip.
Heroes are good to have. You have chosen wisely.
they sure help make life meaningful 🙂 Thanks John.
Very intrigued by Fernandez, and I really enjoyed this introduction.
I love the intensity and the purity with which you express yourself in this entry… "to be desperately human…" what a noble goal!

The ascent of the celebrity blogger. A who's who in the sleaze department.
The one celebrity Richard Lawson can never deface- William Faulkner.
I know a thing or two about celebrities...
It once used to be held that an accomplished or rather gifted writer would amuse themselves by writing about society and being taken by such crowd as it's patron- think of Truman Capote or Dommick Dunne if you will. That of course was then and as we all know today taste buds have changed and morphed into the equivalent of a tarnished Colonel Sanders Rancheros Grime Delux that you the consumer, reader can never get enough of. That said the following is a how to manual of getting the unequivocal best of celebrity sludge, the preferred players and why those players matter or don't and why they'll probably be around for time to come.
After all a celebrity is never a celebrity until he's been singularly anointed and bludgeoned by those who love him or her the most- the sleazy celebrity blogger…
10/ Miss Brittany Mendenhall. Until recently the editor and publisher of Chi Chi 212 this girl was recently brought on to be Joonbug new Editor in Chief. An avid observer of the nightlife circuit, she seems to concentrate on delusional doormen like Axe, Wax ( I keep forgetting his name, but he's the big burly guy that keeps telling everyone that he is an actor, – Was, Was Stevens that's his name) and other self appointed important people that she is committed to keep eternal vigil on.
She recently broke the story on Justin Ross Lee getting socked in the face by Axe's best friend and fellow doorman of Avenue –Rich Thomas and we couldn't stop laughing. With a wonderful resume of being banned from most nightclubs we have to admit that Ms Mendenhall is our type of girl and we can't wait to see her continue punishing and castigating the likes of doormen, dj's and the underage aspiring model crowd that make her readership. But you know the saying, once you're old enough to pose you're old enough to have an attitude…
9/ Chiara Atik, courtesy of Guest of a Guest. Over zealous celebrity blogger who from time to time relies on publicist tip sheet and every picture that Patrick McMullan throws at her.
Chiara for all intensive purposes can offer a very interesting read, geared mostly to her sorority sisters and aspiring socialites she tends to specialize in spilling and occasionally castigating the balls of society types like Devorah Rose and other blue blood that she does not approve of. At times witty and a touch on the repetitive (but that's what happens when you use press releases over and over we guess…) she's a kindred treat that even this author will from time to time check into:
