Kitty Pryde argues against Lydia Nance on the TV show Crosstime. Later, she spends the night with Colossus at a Manhattan hotel. The next day, the school is attacked by ships from Dartayus in the Negative Zone, who are there to free Kologoth. Kologoth joins up with them. During the battle, Prestige is hurt and Kitty and Nightcrawler end up stranded on one of the Dartayus ships. Old Man Logan vows they will get them back.
Months ago in the home of Lydia Nance:
After identifying her as the mastermind behind the new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Kitty Pryde as leader of the X-Men warned her that eventually she would be revealed for the bigot she is.
A TV studio:
The show Crosstime:
Studio guests are Kitty Pryde and Lydia, Nance who announces she is not a bigot and resents any implications to the contrary. Kitty calmly retorts that, when you single out a specific portion of the population for special treatment, that's bigotry. Nance suggests she tell that to the Congressmen and – women who voted in favor of the mutant deportation bill. She'd love to, Kitty retorts, but the show is over.
Nance assure Kitty it was a genuine pleasure to see her again, while making fun of her name. Not rising to the provocation, Kitty asks if she can ask her a question. There's something she's always been curious about and she figures Nance is the person to ask. She gets up in the morning, gets dressed, does her job, is trying to figure out what is going on with her and that guy she has a history with. Occasionally, she helps save the world. She lives her life. And she does it all without the need to demonize another group of people. She just doesn't care that people are different, because, well, people are different. So she's genuinely curious, what's so broken in people like Nance that they have to target anyone who's different? Lydia Nance seems lost in thought and does not reply.
Later, Kitty walks the streets of Manhattan with Piotr Rasputin, She admits she wanted to kill her. But she didn't, he points out. She hasn't completely ruled out the possibility. He assures her she was quite articulate. And this guy she mentioned, the one she said she liked… Kitty is flabbergasted and explains she was still wearing her microphone. She hates her life sometimes, Kitty groans.
Piotr apologizes and unexpectedly she draws him down for a kiss. He points out that, for someone who says she is confused about, she seems to kiss him a lot. That's why he is confused. She suggests they figure it out and then hands him the room key to a hotel room of the building she has led them to.
Central Park, outside the Xavier Institute:
This ain't bad, Old Man Logan comments to his teammates Storm, Nightcrawler and Prestige. He refers to a pro-mutant right protest march outside the Institute. They discuss if one of them ought to go talk with the protesters. Nightcrawler suggests Kitty ought to see this. Storm reveals she is not sure if Kitty made it back to the mansion after the show last night.
That moment, a portal opens in the sky. It's Kologth's people, scanning for the place of his last transmission.
Unnecessarily, Anole comes running to alert them to a call from NASA that there is extraterrestrial activity. Anole points out they don't know if they are hostile. Yeah, because they almost never are, Logan snarks. Storm tells him to get Peter and Rachel to contact Kitty who is still sleeping in the hotel room. She debriefs Kitty and tells her she will send Kurt to get her. They are still trying to find Peter. Kitty informs her he is with her.
Storm and Logan, in the meantime, try to disperse the panicking protesters. Anole informs the others there is a squad of fliers responding. The ship takes out the fliers and hails Kologoth, while they start returning fire.
Nightcrawler teleports in Kitty and Colossus, and Storm informs them the space invaders just wiped out the Alpha Flight leftovers. Kitty orders Storm and Rachel to get their attention. They fly upwards and hear their alien language. They figure they are trying to contact someone.
Said someone, Kologoth, had been hiding in Central Park. Satisfied, he realizes his patience has been rewarded.
Nightcrawler teleports the rest of the team to the top of one of the ships, where Logan makes short work of their blasters.
Kitty phases inside the ship and Nightcrawler teleports after her. They soon face a troop of armed aliens.
In the meantime, the aliens have made visual contact with Kologoth and bring the ship down fast, shaking Colossus and Logan off. Rachel dives after Logan but is hit by a blast from another ship. She falls and lands hard. The ship lowers itself, destroying part of the Institute.
Augor exits the ship and warmly welcomes his leader and lover Kologoth back. He insists they leave. The portal cannot be sustained long. Kologoth is happy to leave. He has been a prisoner on this mudball too long. He isn't yet aware that they have made two prisoners themselves – Kitty and Kurt. He gives the order to take the ships home. There are many that need to suffer…
Back on Earth, Armor awakes Logan and nearly gets her head cut off for the effort. He apologizes. Armor tells him that Storm and Colossus are okay but they don't know about Miss Grey. They fear that Kitty and Kurt are still on the ship and the ship is gone! What are they going to do? she asks. They're gonna #+*%$§' get them back! he snarls.

The Enemy's Tom Clarke has said he wants to write the official song for England's 2010 World Cup campaign. The singer said he thinks the quality of the song could determine how well England do in the competition next June. "If we brought out a good song England might win it," he said. The singer also revealed that he's keen to get some of the current England stars involved in the creative process too. "I'd like to get Peter Crouch to rap. We'd let him do his robot dance too. I reckon Wayne Rooney could be an angry rapper," he said. "We'd do it just so we could say, 'We've recorded the official England song'" (The Sun).

Pretty Good Week, Right?
June 27, 2015 Politicscivil rights, court decisions, equality, hate, humanity, mass shootingPaul
Weeks like this don't come along very often. Victory after victory after victory, with barely enough time to breathe in between, and most of them coming from a recently suspect Supreme Court.
States don't have to allow hate symbols on license plates
Southern arch-conservatives saying it's time to take down the traitor flag
a decision saying it doesn't matter if your intent was discrimination or not, it's still discrimination if it discriminates
a decision affirming that the Affordable Healthcare Act isn't derailed because of one word
a decision on marriage that quite frankly is long overdue but very welcome
That's a solid string of wins for a lot of people, and everyone who views them as losses is going to be viewed by history as backward relics hanging on to barbarism (if they're not already). I really can't overstate how great these four things are – the last one, in particular, is something I will never forget reading about, something I will cherish as a defining moment of a generation. Marriage equality! FINALLY!
Five out of nine Justices agree! The other four are pond scum.
Seriously, great job to everyone who fought for this, from Stonewall to today. People bled for this, please don't ever forget that.
Does it sound like I'm leading up to a big 'but'?
Georgia's flag looks familiar…
Weeks like this are great, and there's a lot to celebrate, but my fear is that the wins in these battles are so big, so earth-shattering, that they set back the rest of the war. They take attention and momentum away from other, related battles. They drive opponents further into the trench and embolden them to fight even harder for anything they can hold on to. They make it that much harder to get with less flashy wins on even more important issues.
…oooh.
Great, yeah, the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia is finally being fully recognized as a symbol of horrific racism and treason, and is being pulled down and thrown on the garbage pile of history where it belongs. Even Walmart is refusing to sell it. Of course, removing this symbol required a blood sacrifice of 9 innocents, and has become the point of focus. Not the fact that a known radical was easily able to obtain a firearm, not the fact that he was a radicalized terrorist, not the fact that an ingrained system of hatred lead to this horrific act. It was the flag that did this, and if we take it away, everything is fine!
We've got marriage equality now, and thousands upon thousands of people who were denied basic human rights based solely on their gender are legally entitled to those rights. But, in the meantime, there are still 27 states where you can be fired or evicted from your apartment for legally getting married to the wrong person. There are 31 states where you can be tossed out on your ear for not dressing/acting/being the person your genitals say you are. Everyone cheered Obama schooling a heckler without a thought to the fact that said heckler was protesting the government's horrible detention of LGBT immigrants and asylum seekers. These are issues of livelihood and shelter and freedom that are still up for debate, but now people can get married, so what more do you people want?
Yeah, probably have some work to do here.
To make matters worse, the politicians that we would hope are leading the charge on these wins are simply riding their coattails. They claim victories that they had little or nothing to do with and have actually been counterproductive toward in the past. The very leaders we need to drive the fight forward are the same ones who would have us declare the war done. They are, if anything, more detrimental to the fight than the vocal opponents.
These are the fights we can't forget about. These are the issues that we need to point to and realize that the war is far from won, that there is so much work left to be done. This was a good week. These were a lot of victories. Don't expect every week to be like this.
Sure, let's try to legislate the hate away.
December 17, 2012 Culture, Politicsfreedom of speech, hate, religionPaul
Something Bad Has Happened, and therefore, the Westboro Baptist Church has announced that they will picket the funerals of those who died. This is what they do these days, their entire purpose. Exploit tragedy in the crassest way possible. They travel the country to use any tragedy to blast their message that their god most certainly hates homosexuals, because he let Tragedies Like This happen. Great guy, that god of theirs. The best part about WBC's methods is that they get people all worked up. Their latest announcement that they will picket the funerals of the Newtown shooting victims has triggered a call on the White House's petition site to have WBC legally recognized as a hate group. The petition has gathered over 90,000 signatures at this point.
This is, of course, a Bad Idea. It's wrong, and it's reactionary. WBC spews hatred on a daily basis, but they have committed no actual hate crimes. Do you who else spews hate on a daily basis? The American Family Association. The Catholic League. The National Organization for Marriage. All three of those groups have done far and away more to actually deny people civil rights than Westboro Baptist has ever done, yet none of those groups has managed to get 90,000 people to demand that the White House declare them a hate group. Let's be clear here: WBC has never called for people to rise to violence. They have never done the equivalent of shouting "fire" in a crowded theater. Like it or not, their message is entirely and utterly protected by the First Amendment, and they are smart enough to never stray from that. 90,000 people didn't just ask Barack Obama to label them a hate group, they asked him to violate a group's freedom of speech.
As Fred Clark wrote almost four years ago:
Fred Phelps is a free man, so if you think your freedom is going to be restricted, you must be planning to outdo Fred Phelps.
So there's the two-word answer for every Tony Perkins or James Dobson or Damon Owens who makes up some dubious claim about being persecuted or punished or threatened or jailed or whatever for their anti-gay beliefs.
Fred Phelps is the canary in the coal mine of our democracy. He and his followers say terrible things out loud in public places that common decency balks at, but they do it legally. The moment we start curbing that, the moment we try to legislate away this type of expression, that is the moment we prove the AFA and NOM right. That is the moment that we say "we disagree with your message, therefore, it is illegal for you to say it." That is the moment we actually try to take away the rights of religious people to be complete hate-filled Neanderthals, and once we've crossed that Rubicon, we are really not far from legislating away whatever speech the majority disagrees with. We're not far from criminalizing condemnation of, say, the Catholic church for any reason. Because, hey! That might be hate speech, and that would be illegal!
But in the mean time, notes Clark:
So when the folks at NOM insist that their opposition to same-sex marriage is a matter of "religious liberty," the liberty they're talking about has to be the liberty to exceed the Fred Phelps standard — the liberty not just to restrict membership on religious grounds, or just to preach against homosexuality as a sin, or to condemn and denounce homosexuals as people hated by God, but the liberty, apparently, to go beyond all that, beyond anything even Fred Phelps has imagined.
Attempting to label Westboro Baptist as a hate group, when their only "crime" so far is saying things that you don't agree with, means that you are willing to legislate any speech with which you disagree. Think about that for a while. Think long and hard before you demand that we violate someone's civil rights because you don't like what they have to say. Because that's what legally labeling WBC as a hate group boils down to. Violating their First Amendment right to be complete idiots.
Edit: Something I completely missed in the writing of this – there is no legal classification for a 'hate group.' There's the Southern Poverty Law Center's classification, but WBC has been on their list for some time now. This petition is asking the government to create a brand new class simply to persecute a bunch of people who say things we don't like.

Allan F. Nicholls (born April 8, 1945) is a Canadian actor, film director, film producer, screenwriter, composer and musician.  He was nominated for both a BAFTA and WGA award for his writing on the 1978 film A Wedding. He is often credited as Allan Nicholls.
Allan was lead vocalist in the mid-60s with recording acts J.B. & The Playboys (RCA), who later became The Jaybees (on RCA) then Carnival Connection (Capitol). After playing Claude in the musical "Hair" he returned to Montreal to briefly sing lead vocals with Mashmakhan before releasing a number of solo recordings (with some charting in Canada) before delving into a career with the movie industry. A "J.B. & The Playboys – Anthology" CD was released by Super Oldies in 2005. He is probably most well known to the general public for his role as team captain Johnny Upton in the movie Slap Shot.

Personal life
Nicholls's grandfather was goaltender Riley Hern, who played for the Montreal Wanderers. The Wanderers won the Stanley Cup with Hern in goal in 1908, 1909 and 1911.

Start Up Visa Overview
The Start-Up Visa program is geared toward granting Permanent Residency to immigrant entrepreneurs while facilitating them to become established in Canada.
Successful applicants must cooperate with private sector organizations in Canada where they must first receive funding, guidance and expertise in opening and operating their enterprise in Canada.
The purpose of this program is to recruit innovative foreign national entrepreneurs who will create new jobs and drive economic growth.
In order to be eligible, applicants for a Start-Up Visa must meet the following requirements:
· Have received a letter of support from a government-designated organization;
· Meet minimum language requirements in English or French (CLB 5 in all abilities);
· Have completed at least one year of post-secondary education, during which the applicant was in good standing at their educational institution;
Have sufficient funds to settle in Canada;
· Plan to settle in a province other than the Province of Quebec; and
Pass Canadian security and medical clearances
You can have more than one partner in your business endeavour however no more than five foreign nationals may apply for permanent residence as part of the same business venture under the Start-Up Business Class.
Investment Details
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has designated a number of venture capital funds and angel investor groups to participate in the Start-Up Visa program.
Successful applicants are required to secure a minimum investment for their Canadian start-up. If coming from a designated Canadian venture capital fund, the investment must be at least $200,000.
If coming from an angel investor group, it should be at least $75,000. Applicants are not required to invest any of their own money. If their Canadian start-up is unsuccessful, individuals granted permanent residency through this program will retain their permanent resident status.
Economic Action Plan 2012 highlighted Canada's commitment to supporting entrepreneurs, innovators and world class research. It also announced the Government's intention to build a fast and flexible economic immigration system whose primary focus is on meeting the new and emerging needs of the Canadian economy. This will include changes to Business Immigration Programs, which will target more active investment in Canadian growth companies and more innovative entrepreneurs.
This "start-up" visa initiative is an example of the type of small-scale programs that would allow CIC to try innovative approaches to economic immigration. Under the proposed changes, the Government could create new, short-term programs under the Economic Immigration Class. These programs would be limited to no more than 2,750 applications per year and would end after five years.


Technology has contributed to a culture of immediate gratification. Connections are fast, data is exchanged quickly, replies are often instantaneous, and turn-around times have been vastly reduced. While advancements in technology have created an expectation of instant access, they have also provided the tools that allow us to offer that unfettered availability as an option more easily.
Court reporting is one of many industries that has been impacted by the rapid evolution of data transmittal. Old-school stenotype machines are still the status quo; however, updated models allow for real-time transcription which means information is translated and relayed immediately instead of stored and transcribed for later review. Real-time transcription benefits everyone involved in courtroom proceedings by making data more accessible, easier to search, and more convenient to review.
Accuracy and efficiency have always been paramount to the success of court reporting. The first shorthand machine was built in 1877 and punched a paper strip, and the direct ancestor of today's stenotype was patented in 1913.
The stenotype machine has 22 keys, with many pressed simultaneously to spell out syllables, words, and phrases in one stroke. In the past, the proceedings would be recorded in shorthand form and then transcribed for later dissemination and review.
The actual work of court reporting hasn't changed with the introduction of new technology, but the accessibility of the recorded information has improved greatly. Real-time court reporting involves the instant translation of a stenographer's shorthand via specialized software that can instantaneously display reporting results on device monitors.
Real-time court reporting eliminates the delay of waiting to make an accurate assessment of what occurred and allows you to keep your case on track by responding appropriately and efficiently.
Expedited access to the testimony. Real-time recording allows all parties to access a rough draft of transcripts on the spot, via laptops or smartphones. This gives legal counsel the opportunity to review a witness's answers as they're being given, making it easier to develop favorable lines of inquiry or to identify essential follow-up questions.
Prompt and precise review options. In a busy or chaotic courtroom environment, it can be easy to become distracted or to lose focus, particularly after recesses. Real-time reporting resolves these issues by allowing involved parties to access previous questions, answers and objections to stay sharp and on task.
Improved collaboration. With real-time court reporting software, parties can confidentially make notes alongside actual testimony in order to highlight an inconsistency or an area worthy of revisiting. This feature also allows any absent team members to make comments on a deposition remotely or to catch up on proceedings efficiently.
Increased accuracy of testimony. The immediate and visual nature of real-time court reporting makes it easier to compare transcripts of prior depositions or testimonies to catch inconsistencies and false statements, allowing a witness to be impeached, if necessary. It also allows attorneys to spot words or phrases that are unclear and request clarification, which will then be added to the record so that the final transcript is fully updated and easily understood.
Time and cost-effective. Real-time court reporting means everyone who wishes to be involved can watch the proceedings without being physically present, including experts, other legal team members, or even members of a client's support system. The end result often includes a reduction of travel expenses, such as per diem meals for witnesses. Real-time court reporting also allows lawyers to simplify the process of preparing deposition on the following day since they no longer have to wait for a final official transcript.
The introduction of live transcripts through real-time court reporting makes the job of a court reporter as essential as ever while placing more value on the final product due to its accuracy and availability. The stenograph machine is tried and true technology that court reporters rely on to do their job well; real-time translation software is the upgrade that allows other involved parties in the courtroom to do the same.
A court reporter is an integral part of the legal industry as well as other industries.

Even if you have been tempted to look into digital recording for courtroom events, you should be advised that realtime reporting is absolutely the most accurate method for court reporting today. Read on to learn some of the main reasons that support realtime so that you can make an informed decision about the best type of reporting for your case.
The majority of digital recording systems use a central control room where one monitor is keeping track of up to four courtrooms at the same time. This translates to at any given time, one quarter of the court proceedings are actually capable of being searched. With realtime reporting, however, attorneys, Judges and clients can access the testimony immediately. A Judge can even review or mark portions or take notes on their own version of the transcripts. It's also easier to look for specific phrases or other inputs in this situation.
How easy it is to search a digital audio record depends a great deal on the ability of the tape operator as it relates to annotation. If the court requests a readback with digital recordings, it can be frustrating, not possible, or the cause of numerous delays. In any case, none of these are ideal. A computerized court stenographer, though, can accommodate requests for readback within seconds and can even allow parties in the courtroom to analyze the record to see what was actually said. Attorneys also have access to this information in a text format on their laptops immediately, making it much easier.
Often, problems with digital recordings are not known until it's too late. The success of digital recording relies on the audio being captured properly. With the potential to capture private conversations or other background noise, getting an accurate and high-quality recording back is always at risk with a digital recording.
Reviewing a complete audio record takes a lot of time, and the majority of attorneys and judges do not want to have to listen to the full-length recording. If a case is moved on to the appeal process, the digital audio has to be sent on to a transcriber for the proper production of the transcript.
With realtime, attorneys and judges can both review and annotate the testimony during the proceedings. Notes taken from a court reporter's transcript can also easily be put into a printed report or cut-and-pasted onto a screen.
While an audio recording system can generate a recording, a stenographic reporter will produce the transcript electronically and the final paper transcript accurately. Regardless of what either of those are needed for, it's more efficient to get both at the same time.
While the realtime court reporter or stenographic reporter might initially seem more expensive, this is not the case when you factor in the ability to read back and review materials immediately and the potential for getting both the paper and electronic version at the same time.

The provisions of the Schengen Convention which have been duly integrated in the EU framework lay down that a valid residence permit from a Schengen State, together with a travel document, can substitute for a visa. In the light of this provision therefore, a third-country national presenting a passport and a valid residence permit issued by a Schengen Member State can be allowed to enter another Schengen Member State without requiring a visa.
The Global Residence Programme (GRP) was launched in June 2013. The key factors of the GRP are the following:
GRP is addressed to non-EU, non-EEA and non-Swiss nationals only.
The flat rate of tax on income remitted to Malta is set at 15%. This is subject to a single minimum tax payment of €15,000 for the applicant and all dependents.
The definition of dependents includes the wife and children (the latter whether natural, adopted or in care, being limited to up to 25 years of age. This definition of dependents shall also include dependent brothers, sisters and direct relatives in an ascending line provided that the Director of Inland Revenue is satisfied that these are dependents of the beneficiary of the Programme. Employees are also provided for i.e. carers/servants and other persons that may have been in the employ of the applicant for the preceding two years.
GRP Property Purchase requirements have been set at:
purchase price of immovable in Malta €275,000
purchase price of property in Gozo and the South of Malta €220,000
GRP minimum rental price has been set at:
Annual minimum rental of property in Malta €9,600
Annual minimum rental of property in Gozo and the South of Malta €8,750
GRP requires the use of an Authorised Registered Mandatory in Malta to submit the application on behalf of the client.
GRP requires monitoring to ensure applicant and dependents are covered by an all-risks medical insurance in Malta.
The immovable property which the applicant has declared as his residence in Malta cannot be used by any other person other than dependents or those in his employ.
The applicant may not rent out the property that he is declaring to be his residence in the application for whatever period and in whichever location.
The applicant may not be resident for more than 183 days in any other single jurisdiction.
Visas issued by the Maltese authorities fall under three categories, namely:
Schengen Visas: valid for the territories of all the Schengen Member States; may be an Airport Transit Visa or a Short-Stay Visa valid for up to 90 days and for single or multiple entries).Exceptionally, the Schengen regulation enables persons of known repute and good standing who frequently require a visa and who can provide the necessary guarantees, to be issued with visas which permit a visit of up to 90 days in any half-year and are valid for one (1), two (2), three (3) or five years (5).
Limited Territorial Validity visas are generally Malta or named-Schengen states only visas which do not grant access to or transit through the territory of any other Schengen States. These visas are generally issued for humanitarian reasons, or in the national interest, or under international obligations as an exception to the common system.
Long stay or "national" visas are only valid for visits that are longer than 90 days with one or more entries, in the territory of the Schengen State whose diplomatic representative issued the visa and give the right to transit through the territory of other Schengen States for a period of not more than five days.
On the basis of the Schengen Convention, now integrated in the EU framework, a valid residence permit from a Schengen State, together with a travel document, can substitute for a visa. Thus a third-country national presenting his/her passport and a valid residence permit issued by a Schengen Member State can be allowed to enter another Schengen Member State for a short-stay without needing a visa. This equivalence does not apply to residence permits issued by the United Kingdom and Ireland, since they do not apply the Schengen acquis.

This is true not just for the legal profession. Amongst the boards of listed companies that I serve on, there is an increasing awareness that changes to the gender mix on boards need to be accelerated. The pace of change has indeed picked up and we need to ensure that it is sustained. This can only be in the best interest of the boards themselves as we welcome greater diversity of thought in the boardroom.

Last night Jake and the boys went on a Boy Scout campout. I never sleep well when Jake is gone and so I was up late into the night watching mindless television on Hulu. Because it takes unlimited reliable internet, it's been over a year since I've done that.
Although for years before that, it was a common occurrence. I would stay up way too late editing pictures or working on my business. It was my guaranteed quiet time which I craved. After spending all day with demands on my time as a mother, wife, and homemaker, a few hours alone a night sounded like bliss. I would set up Hulu, gather some snacks, and slip away into my comfort zone. Soon enough it would be 2 or 3 or even 4am and I'd be stumbling into bed exhausted. I wasn't the picture of health though I didn't want to admit that my late night routine could be contributing to my obesity.
Since my gastric bypass last year I've been working on changing unhealthy habits. Staying up past midnight working and eating was one of the first bad habits to go. I made it a goal to go to bed when Jake went to bed. It's not always easy. I'm a night person and Jake has always preferred early mornings (and early bed times). Thankfully, our routine on the bus made it simple. Plus there was no internet or television to distract me. Now that we're in more of a typical routine, I find myself staying up late more often. Although not into the wee hours as before, I've still been pushing bedtime back and reading books or working on projects.
Interestingly enough, I don't feel as healthy or as strong when I stay up late. I hate to admit it after twenty years of marriage, but I think Jake is on to something with his early to bed – early to rise. Or maybe I'm just getting old. That could certainly be part of it. But my body thanks me when I go to bed at a reasonable hour. One night back to the old routine and I realize that I'm better off committing to continue with earlier bed times.
In other news, I'm almost done with 100 Miles in September! I have 4 days and 5 miles to go. WhooHoo! Thank you to everyone who participated with me! Whether you finished your 100 miles or not – it was so great to have your support!!
I walked every single day this month. Some days I walked long distances (my longest walk was 8 miles) and some days I just got out and walked around the block ( my shortest walk was .67 miles). Jake walked most of those miles with me. We walked in the rain, we walked in the heat, we walked at night and in the morning. Walking with him was my favorite part. It was the perfect time to talk and debrief our days. We talked about our future and we talked about our past. We talked about the kids and we talked about each other. We talked about his work and we talked about mine. Walking every day has brought us even closer and I didn't think that was possible.
I've loved the challenge of walking 100 miles in a month. I work best with a specific goal or challenge that I'm working towards, so I've got a new one that scare the pants off me and will keep me focused and training for a while.
I'm going to run a marathon next year.
I never thought I'd say those words. But I think it's a worthy goal. BFF Kim and I came up with the idea together. We decided we needed something to work on and something that was big enough to terrify us. We talked about a few options, but a marathon won out. I've since roped in Jake too. How about you? Do you want to join us?!
At my current fitness level I can run a solid mile (without stopping) in about 12 minutes. I'm a long way from running 26.2 miles. But I have 14 months to prepare. We've chosen the 2015 Honolulu Marathon as our goal. The Honolulu Marathon has a few things going for it. First – it's in Hawaii. That's pretty much enough right there. Second – there are no qualifying times or lotteries. If you want to participate, you can participate. Third – there is no cut-off time. You can walk the whole thing if you want to. Fourth – did I mention it's in Hawaii?
October/November/December: Couch to 5K. Basically my goal by January is to be able to run a solid 3-4 miles without stopping.
January – June: Train for half-marathon. We're going to run a half-marathon in Alaska in June of 2015.
July – December: Train for marathon!! Honolulu here we come!
I get so excited talking about it, but when I'm actually out on a walk/run, I realize that I'm crazy for even considering it. But nothing worth while is easy, so here goes nothing.
Have you trained for a marathon or half-marathon before? What do I need to know?! Share your secrets with me please!

I saw your ad on Craigslist for the Scenic Antler Sculpture http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/hsh/2142504721.html. In your ad you say, "From the heart of a cleverly fashioned replica antler, an intrinctly carved panel depicts a moose and his mate as they traverse a tranquil forest glen".
Don't you worry that displaying this will send a message to the other mooses that it is ok for them to choose this type of lifestyle? Next thing you know they will want to get married and then there goes the sanctity of traditional moose marriage.

The Poetics of Adonis and Yves Bonnefoy
Poetry as Spiritual Practice
by Kareem James Abu-Zeid
This book examines the work of two major poets who wrote in the second half of the twentieth century, Yves Bonnefoy of France and the Syrian-born Adonis (born Ali Ahmed Saïd). In conducting close readings of key moments from their respective poetry, the author illustrates how both of these writers, in their own unique ways, construct poetry as a form of spiritual practice, that is, as a way of transforming both the poet's and the implied reader's ontological, perceptual, and creative relationships with their internal and external worlds.

Supreme Court Issues Pro-Employer Ruling on Class Action Waiver Issue
Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution, Class Action, Employee Engagement, Traditional Labor Relations
Share this Insight
Ron Chapman, Jr. Dallas Author
Christopher C. Murray Indianapolis Author
On May 21, 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States settled the contentious class action waiver issue that has riled courts for the past six years. In a 5-4 opinion, the Court upheld class action waivers in arbitration agreements. Relying heavily on the text of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) and "a congressional command requiring us to enforce, not override, the terms of the arbitration agreements before us," the Court ruled that the FAA instructs "federal courts to enforce arbitration agreements according to their terms—including terms providing for individualized proceedings." The Court also reasoned that neither the FAA's savings clause nor the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) contravenes this conclusion. Epic Systems Corporation v. Lewis, Supreme Court of the United States, Nos. 16–285, 16–300, 16–307 (May 21, 2018).
In January 2012, the National Labor Relations Board ruled in D.R. Horton, 357 NLRB No. 184 (2012) that employers cannot use class action waivers in arbitration agreements with employees covered by the National Labor Relations Act. The Board reasoned such waivers limit employees' rights under the NLRA to engage in "concerted activities" in pursuit of their "mutual aid or protection." That holding appeared to put the Board on a collision course with Supreme Court precedent under the Federal Arbitration Act approving class action waivers; however, the Board reasoned the Supreme Court's prior cases had never involved the NLRA and didn't apply.
Most federal courts disagreed with the Board's reasoning. In fact, the Fifth Circuit (in an appeal handled by Ogletree Deakins) refused to enforce the Board's D.R. Horton decision. Scores of lower federal courts subsequently refused to follow the Board's ruling, citing the Fifth Circuit's rejection of it. Two other courts of appeals, the Second and the Eighth, similarly spurned the Board's view.
Undeterred, the Board invoked its policy of not acquiescing to federal courts lower than the Supreme Court and adhered to its position in Murphy Oil USA, Inc., 361 NLRB No. 72 (2014). The Fifth Circuit again refused to enforce that decision.
Although dozens of federal and state courts continued to reject the Board's rationale as inconsistent with the FAA, recently two courts of appeals went the other direction, creating a circuit split. The Seventh Circuit became the first federal appellate court to agree with the Board in Epic Systems v. Lewis in May 2016. The Ninth Circuit followed suit in August 2016 in Ernst & Young LLP v. Morris, and, in 2017, the Sixth Circuit did so as well.
The six-year long standoff between the Board and most courts, and the more recent split between the Second, Fifth, and Eighth Circuits on one side and the Seventh, Ninth, and Sixth Circuits on the other, have left employers in a bind, as national and regional employers have found their practices subject to conflicting precedent depending on the circuit at issue.
On January 13, 2017, the Supreme Court agreed to take up the matter. With at least a half dozen petitions for certiorari pending on this class action waiver issue, the Court agreed to hear appeals in Murphy Oil, Lewis, and Morris. The Court also consolidated the three cases. On October 2, 2017, the Supreme Court of the United States heard oral argument in the three consolidated cases.
The Supreme Court's Decision
After a thorough examination of the FAA and Section 7 of the NLRA, the Court concluded that "the law is clear: Congress has instructed that arbitration agreements [] must be enforced as written. While Congress is of course always free to amend this judgment, we see nothing suggesting it did so in the NLRA—much less that it manifested a clear intention to displace the Arbitration Act." The Court considered the argument that the FAA's savings clause—which allows courts to refuse to enforce arbitration agreements "upon such grounds as exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract"—creates an exception on the basis that the NLRA renders class and collective action waivers illegal. Justice Gorsuch, relying on the Supreme Court's 2011 AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion decision, reasoned that this argument is flawed. The savings clause permits courts to invalidate agreements on the basis of contract defenses such as fraud and duress, the Court ruled, and not, citing Concepcion, on the basis of "defenses that apply only to arbitration"
The Court also rejected the argument that class action waivers are invalid under Section 7 of the NLRA. According to Justice Gorsuch, "[t]he notion that Section 7 confers a right to class or collective actions seems pretty unlikely when you recall that procedures like that were hardly known when the NLRA was adopted in 1935." As a result, the Court reversed the judgments in Epic Systems and Ernst & Young and remanded the two cases for further proceedings consistent with the Court's opinion. The Court also affirmed the judgment in Murphy Oil.
In light of today's Supreme Court ruling, Ogletree Deakins has launched an innovative new product that will help employers quickly and conveniently generate arbitration agreements with class action waivers.

Association Between Systemic Inflammation, Carotid Arteriosclerosis, and Autonomic Dysfunction

Systemic inflammation is associated with arteriosclerotic disease progression and worse stroke outcome in patients with carotid arteriosclerotic disease. We hypothesize that systemic inflammation is mediated by impaired carotid baroreceptor and chemoreceptor function induced by carotid arteriosclerosis rather than by the generalized inflammatory arteriosclerotic process.
Heart rate variability (HRV), serum levels of inflammatory markers, demographic and life style factors, and concomitant diseases with potential impact on systemic inflammation were determined in 105 patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis of varying degree. Multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to ascertain independent determinants of carotid stenosis severity, autonomic function, and inflammation.
Systemic inflammation (C-reactive protein, beta = .255; P = .014), age (beta = .232; P < .008), and arterial hypertension (beta = .206; P = .032) were associated with carotid stenosis severity. Only carotid stenosis severity and not generalized arteriosclerotic disease, concomitant diseases (arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hypothyroidism), life style factors (smoking, obesity), or age was associated with a reduction in vagal tone (HRV HF band power beta = − .193; P < 0.049). Systemic inflammation was related to a reduction in vagal tone (HRV HF band power, beta = − .214; P = .031), and not to generalized arteriosclerotic disease, concomitant diseases (arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia), life style factors (smoking, obesity), and age.
In conclusion, systemic inflammation is associated with carotid rather than with generalized arteriosclerotic disease. The association between systemic inflammation and carotid arteriosclerosis is mediated by a reduction in vagal tone which indicates a major role of carotid arteriosclerosis-mediated autonomic dysfunction in the pathogenesis of systemic inflammation in arteriosclerotic disease.

Yelich homers, Hader gets 8 outs, Brewers beat slumping Cubs
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Coming off four days of rest, All-Star reliever Josh Hader was ready for an extended outing for Milwaukee on Sunday. Not what the slumping Chicago Cubs needed at the end of a miserable, season-opening road trip.
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Josh Hader pitches to the Chicago Cubs during the seventh inning of a baseball game Sunday, April 7, 2019, in Milwaukee.
Christian Yelich homered and drove in three, Hader completed an eight-out save and the Brewers beat the Cubs 4-2 to take two of three in the series. The Cubs lost for the seventh time in eight games, dropping to 2-7 ahead of their home opener Monday.
Chicago threatened with two baserunners in the seventh inning, but a well-rested Hader entered to clean up that mess and cruised from there. The hard-throwing left-hander struck out three over 2 2/3 perfect innings, throwing 36 pitches for his fifth save. He hadn't pitched since Tuesday against Cincinnati.
"We rode him a long time today," Yelich said. "You know when he has that much rest, he is going to come out and be pretty good." Zach Davies (1-0) pitched effectively into the sixth, helping Milwaukee win for the seventh time in eight games. The Brewers have won 15 of their last 16 regular season series dating to last year.
"Everything felt pretty good today," Davies said. Willson Contreras' two-run homer in the sixth against Davies was unearned, and that was all Chicago could muster at the plate. Davies pitched 5 2/3 innings of five-hit ball, and Alex Claudio got two outs before handing off to Hader.
The teams combined for 45 runs in the first two games, including a 13-10 Brewers win Friday, before pitching took over in the finale. "We've shown, and what I like, is that we can win games in different ways," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. "That's what a deep team should be able to do."
Cubs manager Joe Maddon was pleased with his team's play despite the loss. "It doesn't always work out as a win, but if you play enough good games and you play the game right, you win your fair share," Maddon said.
Yelich struck a two-run homer in the first inning off Kyle Hendricks (0-2), his fifth of the season and 100th of his career. Travis Shaw's run-scoring single in the third made it 3-0. Milwaukee loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth but managed just one run on Yelich's sacrifice fly.
Hendricks surrendered four runs and eight hits in four innings. He walked one and struck out four over 75 pitches. After giving up a single to Ben Zobrist to lead off the game, Davies (1-0) retired nine in row before Kris Bryant's one-out bloop single in the fourth.
Davies cruised until the sixth, when Anthony Rizzo reached on first baseman Eric Thames' error and Javier Baez had an infield hit. Milwaukee nearly escaped with a groundball double play, but Contreras hit a two-run homer to chase Davies.
The Cubs threatened again the seventh, putting runners on the corners with one out before Hader came on to record the final two outs, including a strikeout of Rizzo. FIRST FOR YELICH Yelich hit his first home run against the Cubs since joining the Brewers last season.
"It's crazy because we play them so much," Yelich said. "They always pitch me tough." BRYANT STRUGGLING Bryant has started slowly after struggling late last season due to a left shoulder injury. He was lifted from Saturday night's game after striking out in four consecutive at-bats. Bryant went 1 for 4 Sunday and is hitting .231.
"He's working through some things right now, but the big thing is he's healthy," Maddon said. "He's an elite player. He's going to start hitting, I really believe that." ROSTER MOVE The Brewers recalled RHP Jake Petricka from Triple-A San Antonio. RHP Taylor Williams was optioned to San Antonio.
TRAINER'S ROOM Brewers: 1B Jesus Aguilar, LF Ryan Braun and C Yasmani Grandal, all regular starters, got the day off. UP NEXT Cubs: Chicago will open at home Monday against Pittsburgh. Jon Lester (1-0, 3.00 ERA) will make his third start of the season. He's 9-6 with a 3.18 ERA in 18 career starts against the Pirates.
Brewers: Jhoulys Chacin (2-0, 4.22) will take the mound in the opener of a three-game series in Los Angeles against the Angels.

Q: how to schedule after the current thread has terminated? I am creating a user defined thread library. I use Round-Robin scheduling algorithm and use the context switching method. But, I am unable to know what to do when a thread finishes its execution before the allotted time slot. The program is getting terminated. I actually want to reschedule all the threads, by calling the schedule function when the current thread gets terminated.
I found two ways to overcome this problem.

*

*By calling explicitly thread_exit function at the end of the function that is being executed by the current thread.

*By changing the stack contents such that the thread_exit function gets executed after the current function gets terminated.

But I am unable to find how to apply these solutions....
Anybody out there... plz help me...

A: It sounds like you have a bit of a design flaw. If I'm understanding you correctly, you're trying to implement a solution where you have threads that can be allocated to perform some task and after the task is complete, the thread goes idle waiting for the next task.
If that's true, I think I would design something like a daemon process or service that manages a queue for tasks coming in, a pool of threads responsible for executing the tasks with a controller that listens for new tasks.
