Ruling Blocks Emanuel's Bid in Chicago Run
MONICA DAVEY
After an appeals court ruling on Rahm Emanuel's residency, the Illinois Supreme Court may be left to decide if he can run.
CHICAGO — With only a month to go until Election Day, more than $10 million in campaign money and an overwhelming lead in the polls, Rahm Emanuel, the former White House chief of staff, was disqualified on Monday from appearing on this city's ballot for mayor.
A panel of Illinois Appellate Court justices, in a 2-1 ruling, found that Mr. Emanuel failed to meet a state code stipulating that candidates for mayor reside in the city they hope to lead for at least a full year before an election.
Mr. Emanuel maintains that his time in Washington, which ended in October, was always meant to be temporary and ought not affect his legal status as a resident of Chicago. He filed a motion with the Illinois Supreme Court late Monday to stay the appellate court decision and expedite an appeal.
Appearing before a crush of reporters inside a popular restaurant, Mr. Emanuel said confidently that he expected to prevail, and quoted a saying of his father: "Nothing is ever easy in life."
But the ruling — stunning to many because a lower court and an election board had earlier reached the opposite conclusion — was already upending the first race with an open field this city has had in decades.
"It is so bizarre to fathom," said Cindi Canary, a longtime political observer here who leads the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform. "Last week, he was the $12 million man, unbeatable, inevitable. And now, a lightning strike.
"This decision may not be the final word, but in a way, it's a game changer anyway, giving air to the other candidates. Either way, it may well shift the thought that this election is over."
With time running short, Chicago election officials said that ballots for the Feb. 22 election would be printed as early as Tuesday — and that Mr. Emanuel's name would not appear on them. Donors and city leaders who have endorsed Mr. Emanuel sounded frustrated and perplexed about what had occurred and what to do now. And Mr. Emanuel's five competitors for the job were scrambling to woo away his supporters.
The battle over Mr. Emanuel's qualifications to run for mayor of Chicago actually began quietly within days after Richard M. Daley, the city's longest-serving mayor, announced in early September that he would not seek another term.
Several election lawyers, including Burt Odelson, a longtime expert here in such matters, raised questions, and soon, a full challenge was under way; at one point, close to 30 people here had filed official complaints over the matter, but those numbers dwindled as the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners and a Cook County judge ruled on the question of residency in Mr. Emanuel's favor.
Those close to Mr. Emanuel say he was aware of the residency requirement even before he chose to leave the White House in October to explore a run for mayor here. An associate said he had been advised by lawyers that the requirement would probably not be a serious obstacle. He believed that his biggest challenge would not be proving his legal residency, the associate said, but clearing the field of potential challengers and overcoming some liberal critics.
Legal experts have offered widely diverging views of what the state's municipal code means when it refers to legal residency.
Supporters of Mr. Emanuel, who was born in Chicago and represented a Congressional district here for years, say legal residency is a matter of "intent" and whether he always intended to return from Washington after the White House — a circumstance they argue is backed up by his owning a house here (though a tenant has rented it for now), voting here, paying taxes here, and leaving his most prized possessions (including his wife's wedding dress) here.
Others — including two of the Illinois appellate justices issuing the ruling on Monday — say that physical presence is needed, and that service at the White House provides no special exception.
Some here were hinting that they sensed old-school Chicago politics in the ruling, particularly in a state where judges are elected and local party leaders sometimes support them, but others dismissed such notions.
The appellate court justices who held the majority in the case — Thomas E. Hoffman and Shelvin Louise Marie Hall — have run as Democrats, court officials said, and Mr. Hoffman, who wrote the ruling and has served 17 years as an appellate judge, was widely lauded by colleagues for his past legal analyses.
"Everybody thinks everything is bought and paid for in Chicago, but lots of judges are quite above all that," said Dawn Clark Netsch, an emerita professor of law at Northwestern University and a longtime figure in Democratic politics in the state.
Politics here, at any rate, is more complicated and personal than matters of party: the mayor's race is a nonpartisan election, and the most prominent candidates are all Democrats.
The case now goes before the Illinois Supreme Court, though it was uncertain how quickly it will be presented or whether the court will choose to consider it. The court includes three Republicans and four Democrats, including some with strong ties to Chicago.
The ruling against Mr. Emanuel seemed most likely to benefit Gery Chico, a former chief of staff to Mr. Daley, and Carol Moseley Braun, who was the first African-American woman to be elected to the United States Senate.
Dick Simpson, a political scientist here and a former Chicago alderman, said that Mr. Chico would most likely win away some of Mr. Emanuel's white and Hispanic voters, and that Ms. Braun might now get moreAfrican-Americans.
No one was wasting any time.
"I am extending a hand of friendship to all the fine Chicagoans who have been supporting Rahm and all those that haven't made up their minds yet," Ms. Braun said at a news conference Monday afternoon at which she was joined by the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Mr. Emanuel's staff said he would go right on campaigning, shaking hands at L stops and appearing at fund-raising events. But people in his inner circle were clearly worried.
And it was hard to envision a campaign where a candidate must convince voters that he will indeed appear on the ballot (lawyers for Mr. Emanuel asked the Supreme Court to order his name left in place). Some voters on the streets here seemed puzzled.
But at an intersection downtown, just after dark, scores of supporters of Mr. Emanuel gathered — thanks to a text message issued from his campaign — on a busy street corner at rush hours carrying signs. "Let the people decide!" and "Let Rahm run!" they chanted.


Search engine optimization is extremely important for business. When you optimize the pages of your blog, you are helping to make your blog content even more visible to people who are looking in the search engines for keywords that are associated with your brand and the products and services that your company offers. However, it can be difficult to figure out what works best, especially given Google's continuous algorithm updates.
While this list doesn't cover every possible thing that you can do to improve your SEO results for your website, these ideas can help you get off to a good start. Here are 7 ways that you can improve your blog's on-page SEO.
If you want to get better results from your blog, you need to choose specific keywords to target in every post. Optimizing your blog posts is not about incorporating every keyword phrase that you can think of that relates to your business. In fact, using this approach can actually hurt your SEO efforts because it will be considered as keyword stuffing by Google.
Using long-tail keywords is the best approach to optimizing your blog because you are more likely to receive visitors that are ready to convert from such search queries rather than shorter keyword phrases.
Once you have selected a keyword phrase that you would like to target with your post, you should make sure that it is included in the title of your post. Not only does this help your blog because it will automatically make the keyword phrase show up in the URL (if you use a CMS like WordPress), it will also appear in the search engine results page for that keyword search.
More people than ever are using their smartphones to access content on the web. As a result, the majority of your site's visitors are likely to come into your website via a mobile device. Google has also updated its algorithm in order to display results that are that are mobile-friendly before other websites. If you want your website to rank higher, using responsive design for your blog is the best way to ensure that your site is mobile-friendly.
Site speed is considered as a ranking signal by Google. Therefore, if you want your blog to rank higher in the search engines, you need to improve the speed of your site. Many blog owners have solved this problem by hosting their blogs via a content delivery network. You can also improve the speed of your site by optimizing your blog images and cleaning up your site's code.
While you might think your blog posts are complete because you've added images, your blog's content is actually not complete until you've added tags to your images. Because the search engine robots can't see websites in the same way that humans can, you'll need to make sure to include alt text that explains what each image is. Update all of the images on your blog with alt text for better SEO results.
Internal links are an important part of SEO and show how all of the pages of your website are related to each other. Every time you write a blog post, make sure that you create anchor text links to other related blog posts that you have written. Not only do internal links help visitors to your site, they also show the search engines which pages of your blog should be considered as highly relevant and authoritative pages.
Google's Search Console is a tool that was designed specifically to help webmasters improve compliance with Google's Webmaster Guidelines. As a result, it is probably the best way to find out what is wrong with your site according to Google so that you can fix it and improve your rankings in the process.
While these are just a few tips to help you get started, having an SEO audit your website is the best way to ensure that you are taking the right steps to improve your rankings.

Michael Furey was quoted in an article, "Omnia lawsuit judge orders Horizon to release McKinsey report," published by NJBIZ. According to the article, earlier this week, Bergen County Superior Court Judge Robert Contillo ordered Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield to disclose a report from McKinsey & Co. used to determine the health care providers to be included in Horizon's OMNIA plan. "With Judge Contillo's decision, the public should finally have an opportunity to learn the truth behind OMNIA," Furey told NJBIZ. "If Horizon truly believes that healthcare is an important issue to the public, then it should stop its efforts to hide the documents," he continued.
Furey and Dennis LaFiura are representing three of the remaining plaintiff hospitals involved in this case: CentraState Medical Center in Freehold; Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck; and Valley Hospital in Ridgewood. The case, Centrastate Medical Center Inc. et al v. Horizon Healthcare Services Inc. is pending in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division.

The Dow Jones Today Is Flat as Trade Worries Reemerge in the Headlines
By Garrett Baldwin, Behavioral Trading Specialist, Money Morning • November 6, 2019
The Dow Jones today could see meager gains after the latest statements around U.S.-China trade.
The sides have been inching toward a "phase one" solution, but progress has been halted by China's demands that U.S. President Donald Trump limit previously imposed tariffs. I've got more on this below.
Before we get to that, here are the numbers from Tuesday for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq:
Index Previous Close Point Change Percentage Change
Dow Jones 27,492.63 +30.52 +0.11
S&P 500 3,074.62 -3.65 -0.12
Nasdaq 8,434.68 +1.48 +0.02
Now, here's a closer look at today's Money Morning insight, the most important market events, and stocks to watch.
The Top Stock Market Stories for Wednesday
Asian stocks were slipping due to silence out of the White House. China has asked the Trump administration to eliminate a number of tariffs that he imposed earlier this year. Ongoing concerns about trade have ignited calls from some equity firms to cut back on higher-risk assets. The longer the trade uncertainty lasts, the higher the probability that we could see a sharp one- or two-day sell-off as investors take recent gains off the table. Stocks are sitting near all-time highs despite concerns about low growth around the world. We are eyeing data from Europe today, as weak German factor orders may spark renewed concerns about recession across the world's largest economic bloc.
The Next American Aristocracy is expected to be fueled by today's cannabis boom. If you take advantage now, you could enjoy the kind of wealth "that lasts generations." Click here to see for yourself…
This morning, I'm paying close attention to a report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas. The report says that 172 CEOs departed their roles in the month of October alone. Now, some of these departures are related to scandals at firms like Under Armour Inc. (NYSE: UAA) or McDonald's Corp. (NYSE: MCD). But one must ask why the number of CEO exits in 2019 is set to break a record. The simple answer could be that's it's a coincidence and that many of them served an average tenure. But the more curious question is whether some CEOs see the market highs as an opportunity to head for the exits before the end of the current economic cycle drags down profits. Pay close attention to this trend into 2020.
UBS Group AG (NYSE: UBS) reported this morning that investors are facing an earnings recession. The Swiss bank said the ongoing contraction in S&P 500 earnings expectations could easily fuel a stock market correction. The firm said that year-over-year growth for S&P 500 forward earnings has fallen from 23% in 2018 to 1% today. "There is no debate on S&P 500 forward earnings: a contraction appears imminent," UBS told clients Tuesday.
Stocks to Watch Today: MTCH, CVS, WBA, KKR
Shares of Match Group Inc. (NASDAQ: MTCH) plunged more than 15% after the online dating giant reported weak forward guidance. The firm did top Wall Street EPS expectations and came in line with revenue estimates of $541 million. However, worries about the firm's subscriber base and expected revenue in Q4 dragged the stock lower.
Shares of CVS Health Corp. (NYSE: CVS) got a boost after the company topped Wall Street earnings expectations for the third quarter. The firm received a 10% profit jump thanks to strong sales from its recently acquired Aetna. CVS reported earnings per share of $1.84, a figure that bested Wall Street forecasts by $0.07. Meanwhile, revenue came in at $63.81 billion, well ahead of the $62.99 billion anticipated by analysts.
Meanwhile, CVS's key rival, Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. (NYSE: WBA), is exploring a deal to take the company private. According to reports, the company could become the target of the largest leveraged buyout in the history of the markets. The company has a market capitalization of $55 billion. According to reports, KKR & Co. (NYSE: KKR) is exploring a possible deal that would take the healthcare benefits firm under its wing.
Look for additional earnings reports from Square Inc. (NYSE: SQ), Roku Inc. (NASDAQ: ROKU), Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU), QUALCOMM Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM), Wynn Resorts Ltd. (NASDAQ: WYNN), Redfin Corp. (NASDAQ: RDFN), and CenturyLink Inc. (NYSE: CTL).
Shhh… Cannabis Sector Secrets Herein: Wall Street doesn't want you to know this, but… not all cannabis stocks are champs. All pot stocks see highs and lows, but some are just… flops. Don't worry; we've picked what we believe are the "winners from the wannabes." Just click here to get them.

Pretty fierce work from Sun City Girls – a record that continues their previous experiments of blending global sources and noisy elements – but in a way that leans a heck of a lot more on the latter side of the equation! The guitars are especially strong here – almost as if the group were soaking up all the best energy of the 80s electric underground experiments, then finding a way to really make them their own – which even includes a few jamming, more harder-rocking moments that we might not have expected before! Titles include "The Court Magicians Of Agartha", "Cad Walleder", "A Target Silhouette Punished Blameless", and "The Kissy Sting". © 1996-2020, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Limited edition!)
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Used Vinyl Grades
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.
Near Mint - (minus)
Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
Possible minor surface noise when played.
Very Good + (plus)
Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
May have slight surface noise when played.
Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.
Very Good - (minus)
Vinyl may be dirty, and can lack a fair amount of luster.
Vinyl can have a number of marks, either in clusters or smaller amounts, but deeper.
This is the kind of record that you'd buy to play, but not because it looked that great. Still, the flaws should be mostly cosmetic, with nothing too deep that would ruin the overall record.
Examples include a record that has been kept for a while in a cover without the paper sleeve, or heavily played by a previous owner and has some marks across the surface. The record should play okay, though probably with surface noise.
Good + (plus)
Vinyl may be dirty, or have one outstanding flaw, such as a light residue, which could be difficult to clean.
May have marks on all parts, too many to qualify as Very Good-, or several deeper marks, but the record should still be ok for play without skips.
In general, this is a record that was played a fair amount, and handled without care. A typical example may be a record which has been heavily played by a DJ, and carries marks from slip cueing. Depending on the quality of the vinyl, may play with surface noise throughout.
A record that you'd buy to play, cheap, but which you wouldn't buy for collecting.
Will have marks across all parts of the playing surface, and will most likely play with surface noise throughout. May have some other significant flaws, such as residue, or a track that skips.
In most cases, a poor quality copy of a very difficult to find record.
This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.

Obama in L.A.
Donald Trump Calls Out Obama For His Stoner, Underachieving Days at Occidental College in L.A.
Dennis Romero April 28, 2011
We've seen the photos of President Obama during his L.A. college years. He's got some hair. And his pants had flair. And, well, he even admitted to smoking "reefer" in his 1995 memoir.
Yeah, we even imagine a "bow-chica-bow-wow" soundtrack following the future president named Barry as he strutted on the Eagle Rock campus of Occidental College.
Heck, it was 1979, the era (and not far from the area, San Diego) that spawned Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Everyone was high. Unfortunately, successfully rebutted on the birther issue, Donald Trump now wants to see the president's L.A. school records.
His reasoning is that Obama couldn't have possibly gotten to Harvard without special help.
You know, this is the old anti-affirmative action argument (because white guys like Donald never got a break in life). Props to Face the Nation's Bob Schieffer (whose brother has been in the local news lately). He said of Trump's grade challenge: "That's just code for saying he got into law school because he's black. This is an ugly strain of racism that's running through this whole thing."
Time magazine:
OMG, is that Barry?
Trump declared that Obama needs to release his Occidental College school records, to dispel rumors that he was a bad student who did not deserve a transfer to Columbia University, and later acceptance to Harvard Law School, where he edited the law review and was widely praised by his teachers and peers as a standout intellect. "How do you get into Harvard if you are not a good student?" Trump said. "I don't know why he doesn't release his records."
Okay, Donald, we'll push the prez to let us see his precious report cards if you show us all the loan documents that helped make you the ultimate on-paper millionaire, at least early in your own career as a hollow mogul.
And let's be fair here: Obama was performing as part of a peer group that partied, got stoned and rocked out perhaps more than any other. In fact 1979 was a peak year for American marijuana use among young people. The future president fit in just fine.
Today's millennial kids, with their 4.0+ GPAs (unheard of in those days) and pushy, doting parents (of Obama's generation, ironically) who don't take Bs for an answer from teachers, are products of grade inflation.
So, to account for that, lets consider the grade deflation of Obama's days, when otherwise bright people killed many a brain cell and listened to too much Zep. That's like a 4.5 GPA by today's measuring stick.
And hey, the guy did alright. At least he still has his real hair.

Behind The Screen Digital Power
'Robot Chicken' Creators to Launch 'Friendship All-Stars' Web Series (Exclusive)
10:00 AM PDT 6/27/2013 by Philiana Ng
Blake Gardner
The 10-episode comedy will begin July 24.
The creators of Robot Chicken are teaming up with L/Studio, the Lexus-owned channel behind Web Therapy and Puppy Love, for a new web project, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.
Friendship All-Stars is a stop-motion animated comedy series that chronicles the mundane and offbeat adventures of pretend celebrity neighbors living together in a giant apartment building. The series will consist of 10 episodes that will air every other week beginning July 24 on LStudio.com.
Harry Chaskin, Dan Lippert and Justin Michael co-created Friendship All-Stars, which will be executive produced by Robot Chicken's Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, as well as John Harvatine IV and Eric Towner.
"This is a really unique, original and funny series. It's unapologetically silly and at times, just plain ridiculous," said Green in a statement. Towner and Harvatine IV added in a joint statement: "This project comes from a place of pure love and admiration for the eccentric personalities it showcases. It's so absurd and fun!"
Friendship All-Stars will be discussed at a Nerd HQ panel by the Robot Chicken team at San Diego's Comic-Con in July.
L/Studio is currently in its fifth year.

Les Aqua-tics (France) ou Homer, qu'on voit danser (Québec) () est le  de la saison 18 de la série télévisée d'animation Les Simpson et a connu le plus fort succès des saisons 17 à 20.

Synopsis
Lors d'une séance de cinéma en plein air, Jimbo et ses amis détruisent le film projeté par les fils de Ned Flanders. Patty et Selma projettent alors un de leurs films de vacances à Barnacle Bay, ce qui réveille les souvenirs d'enfance de Marge et l'émeut profondément. Homer décide alors d'emmener la famille à Barnacle Bay. Arrivés sur place, les Simpson découvrent avec stupeur que tout est à l'abandon.

Homer fait tout rénover pour faire une surprise à Marge. Mais, lors du feu d'artifice qu'il lance, le ponton s'enflamme et l'incendie détruit tout le port. Pour payer sa dette, Homer doit partir en mer et ramener les poissons miam-miam qui faisaient la renommée de Barnacle Bay autrefois....

Références culturelles

 Réception : 13,9 millions de téléspectateurs ont vu cet épisode, ce qui est le plus haut score des saisons 17 à 20. Certes on y trouve une bonne  leçon d'écologie (au milieu et à la fin de l'épisode) associée à un happy end : le retour d'Homer et de l'équipage qu'on croyait noyés… Mais dès le début les téléspectateurs ont dû être sous le charme :  à un excellent pastiche des films muets de Mack Sennet ("The Dunderhead Deputies" : flics idiots, courses poursuites, bandit italien en costume de bagnard...)  succède un attendrissant petit film de vacances en famille (kinflicks) aux couleurs délavées, inspiré du film Le Prince des marées (The Prince of Tides) de Barbra Streisand ; il montre les 3 sœurs Bouvier à la plage et la jeune Marge, ravie, tournant sur un manège, à cheval sur son hippocampe favori…
 On entend en arrière-fond le morceau Aquarium de Le Carnaval des animaux de Camille Saint-Saëns (1886) , et les notes cristallines de l'harmonica de verre accentuent le décalage temporo-spatial.
 Barnacle Bay. Il existe dans le Sud des États-Unis, en Floride, à proximité de Miami, un "Barnacle Historic State Park", dans la Biscayne Bay, près de Coconut Grove… Mais la Barnacle Bay des vacances d'enfance de Marge  est une plage située sur une petite île septentrionale, entourée de brumes, à quelque distance de la côte. L'île pourrait faire partie de l'archipel de San Juan, entre l'île de Vancouver et l'État de Washington — ou être une de celles du golfe du Maine, le long des côtes des états de Massachusetts et du Maine. Elle correspond au phantasme de l'île idéale : elle a 2 pics montagneux en pain de sucre et des côtes découpées, des forêts de conifères et un port de pêche, un phare isolé tout au bout d'un promontoire et un front de mer (strand) où les estivants se promènaient entre les boutiques de souvenirs, les étalages de sucreries ("Salt Water Taffee", "Toffee à l'eau de mer") et les manèges. Mais la récession a transformé la petite station balnéaire en ville fantôme, les plages sont squattées par des clochards (bums) , et les bateaux de pêche autrefois fringants s'appellent "Wasted Bait" ("Appâts inutiles") et "Empty Net" ("Filet vide").
 Responsabilité des politiques et machisme simpliste. Homer le républicain affirme que c'est certainement le président démocrate Bill Clinton qui est responsable de la déchéance de l'île, mais un patron-pêcheur lui apprend que Clinton n'y est pour rien : c'est que le poisson a disparu. Lisa l'écologiste lance alors au pêcheur une série de questions agressives sur les causes de la disparition du poisson, mais le pêcheur les élude, et  finit par lui clore le bec avec un : "Toi, tu ferais mieux d'épouser Milhouse !".
 Le Musée de Barnacle Bay : y sont exposés une orque empaillée, Bob l'éponge, et une vitrine montrant les conséquences  (sous 3 ans) du réchauffement climatique (global warming) : le niveau de la mer montera jusqu'au sommet des gratte-ciels de Manhattan. C'est pour échapper aux visites de musées et aux leçons de peinture sur carapace de crabe que Bart s'embarque clandestinement sur le même bateau de pêche que Homer...
 Techniques de pêche : les pêcheurs du "Pélican Pourri"  utilisent des palangres, alors que les Japonais utilisent le chalut, une méthode bien plus dévastatrice. Le "yum-yum fish" ("poisson miam-miam") qui faisait la fortune de l'île ressemble plutôt à un gadidé, mais Marge assure à Bart (qui s'en lèche les babines à l'avance) "qu'il est bien meilleur que la morue". Cependant la technique de mise à mort du poisson par matraquage est plutôt utilisée pour achever les thons dans les madragues ; la corvée est d'ailleurs confiée à Homer, qui finit par s'en acquitter avec plaisir, au ralenti, et sur l'air langoureux de At Last chanté par Etta James... Homer, nommé cuisinier du bateau de pêche, "fait une simpsonnerie" (fait une bêtise qui aura une conséquence heureuse) : il sert à table les vers destinés aux appâts, et prépare comme amorce des hameçons frits après avoir été couverts de beer-batter (pâte à beignets à la bière) ; et les poissons "yum-yum"  se jettent sur ces appâts nouveaux pour eux, la pêche est excellente...
  Le naufrage du bateau "Le Pélican pourri" coulé par une  vague scélérate (rogue wave) après une pêche miraculeuse est directement inspiré du film En pleine tempête de Wolfgang Petersen (2000). Le séjour de Homer dans les profondeurs (après une bizarre invocation aux déités païennes de la Mer) rappelle le conte d'Hans Christian Andersen, La Petite Sirène. Sur le plan pratique, il est plausible qu'un petit chalutier ramène dans son filet un ou des naufragés semi-comateux (le héros d'un des romans de Jean Merrien est ainsi sauvé in extremis) mais il est fortement improbable qu'un grand chalutier de pêche industrielle ramène des naufragés vivants.
 Xénophobie ? :
 - Les Japonais sont présentés comme des exploiteurs abusifs des mers, et le bateau japonais s'appelle d'ailleurs "Iruka Koroshi Maru" ("Tueur de dauphins")
 - Les Brésiliens sont attaqués 2 fois. Alors  que les Simpson approchent de l'île en ferry, ils pensent être accueillis par les senteurs iodées et balsamiques venant de l'île mais ils sont agressés par la puanteur d'un port en décomposition, et les enfants Simpson affirment que l'odeur est à peine moins abominable qu'au Brésil. Par ailleurs Fausto, un des marins du bateau de pêche, est brésilien; il joue sans cesse avec son couteau, et il s'enfuit au lieu de participer aux réjouissances célébrant le retour des naufragés : un vigile en uniforme, portant le badge de l'INS ("The International Relations and Security Network") le poursuit.
 Allusions égrillardes :
 - Film porno : au fond d'une rue désolée du port, le cinéma  XXX de Barnacle Bay projette  "Meet me in some floozy" ("RV dans quelque prostituée").
 - Mœurs des marins. Les locaux infligent à Homer (qui a incendié la localité en offrant un feu d'artifice à Marge)  une peine dérivée de l'estrapade : il est pendu la tête en bas à une potence (comme le grand requin blanc de Les dents de la mer), un énorme hameçon lui  pénêtre jusqu'au cerveau et il dévide des mots sans suite... Un vieux loup de mer grimaçant vient se moquer de lui et lui dit être "bizarre". Homer réplique pâteusement : "bizarre étrange ou bizarre homo ?". Et le vieux marin (avec les mêmes mimiques que son collègue le capitaine Horatio) lui répond : "oh, un peu des deux !" en lui adressant clins d'œil appuyés et baisers. En anglais, il s'agit également d'un jeu de mots sur le mot queer'', qui à la base voulait dire "étrange" mais qui au fil des années a pris une connotation homosexuelle.
 Leçon d'écologie : Lisa exhorte les pêcheurs à économiser les ressources de l'Océan, aussi  se tournent-ils résolument  vers l'abattage de leurs forêts de résineux, qui seront transformées en pâte à papier pour les journaux osés de Larry Flynt : Barely Legal et Hustler...
 La musique jouée dans le film de Patty et Selma est "Aquarium", tirée du Carnaval des Animaux de Camille Saint-Saëns

Notes et références

Épisode des Simpson, saison 18


Farm country, we have an Ag secretary nominee. No one is happier about that than DTN Ag Policy Editor Chris Clayton, who can finally loosen the grip on his smartphone just a little and watch a basketball game or attend one of his children's events without constantly checking the little glowing screen.
You'll see Chris' piece on Sonny Perdue in our Top Stories areas. This was posted late Wednesday evening as soon as we were confident a reliable source had informed media of who was Donald Trump's final choice for the position. Using social media, our staff got the word out quickly about Perdue, as well as provided the link to Chris' story.
This morning, DTN Staff Reporter Todd Neeley followed up with how organizations and leaders were responding to Perdue being nominated as the new head of the USDA. The ag industry, politicians and even farm lenders have been watching and waiting to see who would emerge at the final choice.
Both stories by Chris and Todd are well-researched, in-depth pieces on the nominee, and the back story on how that came to be speaks volumes about how we do what we do at DTN/The Progressive Farmer.
Chris' coverage, compared to other outlets, particularly those aiming at more general audiences, is chock-full of the background on Perdue that's most important to farmers. And as I noted in a recent blog posting, that is what our customers pay us for -- news with analysis on what an issue means to farmers.
As the long line of potential Ag secretary candidates rolled in, Chris, Todd and others on our reporting team were gathering background on those folks so that a solid introduction story could be written and posted correctly. That takes a lot of extra effort, much of it wasted, when background on an unchosen candidate gets shoved in a box or falls to the delete key. But it's how we roll around here, as the saying goes.
Reading other media outlets' stories on Perdue with an editor's insight, it was pretty clear much of what was reported relied on the first couple of items in a Google search. We also use search engines, of course. They've greatly enhanced a reporter's ability to learn pertinent things quickly, and to double check things we think we know.
But Google is no replacement for shoe leather, for on the ground, in the weeds, talking to real people, and working the phones reporting. Chris did a lot of that as he tried to stay abreast of the most likely candidates for this new post.
Congrats to nominee Perdue. Congrats to Chris and Todd and all the DTN team for giving us a well-rounded introduction to him, and to the editing team for burning late-evening oil to get stories up as soon as we felt sure the announcement was eminent.

Q: Zend_Translate: Is there an easy way to use traditional plural translating in Zend_View? We all know that you can call $this->translate() within your zend view to translate a string. However, is there also such a shortcut for plural translating in traditional form (so that poedit can read it) or do I have to go via Zend_Registry::get('Zend_Translate')->plural()?

A: This is possible by calling getTranslator() within the view:
$this->translate()->getTranslator()->plural('singular', 'plural', $count);

The CGP-700 features Casio's Tri-Sensor Scaled Hammer Action II keyboard, engineered to provide the touch of a concert grand piano, enabling young players to develop proper technique and advanced players to feel at home. Casio has scaled the weight of the keys to replicate the larger hammers in the bass register and smaller hammers in the treble register. To further the experience, the CGP-700 features simulated Ebony and Ivory-textured keys for an incredible feel.
The Concert Grand Piano Sound
As one of the pioneers of digital sampling technology, Casio put its years of experience into reproducing the most important sound, the Concert Grand Piano. Casio meticulously recorded the sound of a world-class 9-foot concert grand piano. Casio's team recorded the piano at four dynamic levels, mixing each of the microphone positions until the ultimate piano experience was captured. The result is a grand piano sound that is dynamic, expressive and rich.
Rhythm Section Included
The CGP-700 has 550 instrument tones including newly developed guitars, basses, drums, stereo string ensembles, synths and more. These instrument tones take advantage of the CGP-700â"¢s powerful effects system, which include phasers for electric pianos, distortions on guitars, and rotary speaker effects for organs.
The CGP-700 is a full ensemble digital piano with 200 built-in Rhythms, including drum patterns with fills, variations and full accompaniment. Tones, layers, splits, rhythms, accompaniment and tempo can be stored and instantly recalled. At Home or on the Stage For performing musicians, the CGP-700 can be removed from its included stand.
Without the stand, the CGP-700 weighs 26 lb., making it one of the most portable 88 key digital pianos available with a fully weighted keyboard action. In addition, the speakers in top of the CGP-700 work without the subwoofer system so you have speakers with you wherever you go. If you need additional amplification, connect to a mixer, PA system or keyboard amplifier using the ¼ outputs on the rear panel.
That moment of inspiration The front panel of the CGP-700 has two headphone outputs located on the front of the instrument. When the headphones are in use, the internal speaker system is muted, allowing you to play and practice in privacy. Everything you'e playing on the CGP-700 can be recorded as a .wav file to a USB thumb drive.
Lesson Ready Equipped with Duet Mode, the CGP-700 can split the keyboard into two equal ranges allowing student and teacher to work side by side on the instrument. An additional Classroom Mode splits the keyboard and configures the CGP-700 audio outputs to work with third party piano lab systems allowing two students to use the CGP-700 simultaneously. Computer Connectivity The CGP-700 connects to your PC, Mac or other devices through a class-compliant USB port.
Class Compliant means that the CGP-700 is designed to work with your computer without the need to download drivers. Just plug it into your computer and you are ready to use your favorite software.

On 17 July 2015, Alistair Birt, Minister of State for Community and Social Care announced in a letter to the head of the Local Government Association that a cap on care costs would not be introduced until April 2020. The cap on care costs was originally scheduled for 1 April 2016 as part of the second phase of provisions under the Care Act 2014. The first phase followed the coming into force of Part I of the Care Act 2014 on 1 April 2015.
The delay in implementation followed fears voiced by local authorities about the potential cost of the cap on top of an existing shortfall in the funding of adult social care.
The minister indicated in his letter that the cap would have been too expensive to introduce in 2016 especially because the private insurance market had not developed products as expected to help individuals fund the initial £72,000 as they progressed towards the cap.
The introduction of the duty on local authorities under section 18(3) of the Care Act 2014 to meet the eligible needs of self-funders in care homes. This has also been delayed until April 2020 following concerns raised in responses to the Department of Health consultation in February 2015 about how this measure would work in practice.
The introduction of an appeals system to deal with complaints about decisions made by local authorities on individuals' care and support. This will be considered as part of the government's general Spending Review.
Welsh reforms to adult social care, which were due to be introduced in April 2016, have also been postponed.

It's an issue he's seen before. "In one example, we simply called the parent and made them aware of it," explained Stone. "I believe it was a Facebook post, and that post was just taken away." "A student used to be able to go home and be alone and be with their family at the dinner table, but now you can't escape this stuff as long as your device is on," said Regional Superintendent Matt Donkin. Next semester, schools must have anti-cyber bullying policies that include procedures for investigating reports of bullying, addressing the problem, and notifying parents. "If something happens outside of school that impacts the educational process, school districts can go forward with discipline," explained Donkin.

Spy Satellites Fighting Crime From Space - Cnn.com
FLORENCE: Police to crack down on impaired driving | CentralJersey.com
Ray Purdy, University College London It will soon be cost effective for police forces to buy their own satellites, predicts Ray Purdy, expert on satellites and the law at University College London. Purdy has been able to monitor criminal activity -- such as large-scale illegal waste disposal -- through satellite surveillance, which would have allowed police to cheaply and easily strengthen existing cases. "I've gone back and looked at crimes after a prosecution and in some cases you can see illegal activity a year before, which could have allowed a greater conviction," he said. "In other cases we found people resumed criminal activity immediately after they were prosecuted." However, whether satellite pictures are legally admissible remains unclear, as it requires expert interpretation, and has been stricken from the record in some previous cases.

Copyright law prohibits circumventing digital locks on technological devices. But for several years, cellphones were granted an exemption by government copyright lawyers as a way of making it easier for consumers to change carriers and recycle old phones. Then under industry pressure, the Library of Congress which oversees copyright law agreed to let the exemption lapse as of January 2013, infuriating consumer advocates who say phone owners should be able to do whatever they want with a device once a contract expires.

Steve Byrne, chief executive of Travel Counsellors, the provider of bespoke leisure and corporate travel, discusses how flexible working can empower professionals to achieve their career and lifestyle goals.
Work Wise Week does an incredibly valuable job. With flexible working on the rise, businesses and individuals alike need to be aware of the enormous potential that adopting modern working practices can offer. In particular, it sheds light on a growing trend which has already had an impact not just on our business, but across the travel sector as a whole.
A recent report stated that the number of people working from home in the UK hit a record 1.5 million last year, up by 20 per cent since 2006. I suspect that is under stated given the number of people who also work from home on an ad hoc basis, but simply goes to show the scale of the labour market currently either running their own business, or flexing the traditional definition of employment.
We have seen that this model of home working applies itself particularly well to the travel sector. Even working from a bricks and mortar environment, many agents try to make themselves available for customers beyond the traditional hours of a retail shop or even that of a call centre. For us, working from home has been the foundation for many of our franchisees' customer relationships and enables them to provide a better level of customer service and care.
There has also been an increasing trend for people setting up a shared office with other Travel Counsellors, away from their home environment. Fundamentally, whether on their own or in partnership, they work the hours to suit the needs of their business, family and customers. So, the bigger opportunity for those businesses that care about building relationships with customers and enabling people to have a better quality of life, is to encourage flexible working.
Just because someone is self-employed and has taken the bold step to back themselves as an entrepreneur does not mean they need to feel on their own, unsupported or undervalued. People come to us from a wide range of backgrounds for a huge number of reasons, and we need to ensure that we are able to provide them with the tools to do their jobs and achieve their life goals at the same time.
In particular, I recently chatted to a new Travel Counsellor who had joined us because she had recently had a baby and requested flexible working, wanting to leave work a little earlier than previously, to meet the needs of the family. Working from home was just a conduit to her real need which was to flex her hours. With belief in herself, and with no salary or fixed income, as a Travel Counsellor, she is now fully empowered to choose what hours she wants to work and have her own business.
Equality of opportunity regardless of gender, as well as the increasing focus on mental health and wellbeing, support an environment that should encourage flexible working down to an individual level. This doesn't mean working less hours, indeed many self-employed entrepreneurs will be working incredibly hard to meet the needs of their customers by delivering personalised, tailored travel planning and advice to customers, driven by people (and technology). We in turn should enable personalised working arrangements that meet the needs of the people delivering the service. Their experience is just as important, if not more so and it is critical to the experience enjoyed by the end customer.
All businesses and people are imperfect, and we are no different, and we have some work still do in our support offices to be even better in this regard, but this is fundamental to the ability for businesses to drive growth. Disruptive, technology based businesses such as ours understand that our future is completely dependent on our ability to search, find, attract, retain and develop talent, and there will always be fierce competition for this across the globe.
The old mentality of offices being a place to check whether someone is in work and working is overtaken by those disruptive businesses that see offices as a space to encourage collaboration and sharing. Similarly, disruptive businesses use technology to empower customers and people to connect, being that face to face, over the phone or via digital channels and enable people to work flexibly, remotely and stay connected.
The competition for talent, which includes attracting and keeping the very best travel advisers, who are experts in their field, is not about whether you work from an office or home, or whether you are salaried or self-employed. It is and will be about to what degree you have a culture that enables and encourages you to be trusted. That includes the ability to flex your hours on a personal level and basis so you can have a career, respect your responsibilities to your colleagues and customers and be a decent parent and partner.
Fundamental to being able to physically be effective, though, is having access to the technology to enable you to work, connect and deliver regardless of the hours in the day and where you are in the world. So, an unerring commitment to do the right thing by the customer, genuine individual flexible working and a continuous investment in technology will go hand in hand in those disruptive travel businesses that truly value the benefit of the independent personal travel adviser and those that support them.
I promote flexible working for no other reason than it has been proven to provide people with the opportunity to achieve their career and business goals, while also allowing them to have a full and active family life and more should be done to promote this lifestyle more widely. Work Wise Week is a great start to this, and the awareness raised will hopefully allow many more people to work flexibly to achieve what is important to them.


It was another exciting Grammy day with Petra, and the playland at McDonalds was hoppin' with activity. Most of the older kids had gone back to school, so the place was full of grandparents and smaller children. My little charge was sporting a new dress, compliments of her Aunt Mihyun and Uncle Nathan. Unable to decide which pair of flip-flops best completed the ensemble, she was wearing two different flip-flops, and was adamant about placing them neatly in the shoe bin.There was another young girl with an equally puffy dress, and she and Petra took turns jumping off the step and watching their dresses fly up. I think they believed they were flying. A trio of older children showed up, and the girl, about seven or so, immediately took to Petra and the other young one, and as happens with little and big girls, they quickly formed the dynamic of the older girl helping the younger ones scale the slide, crawl over the fences, and generally being at their beck and call.
I relaxed and sipped my diet Coke and took the chance to do some people watching. The older girl had two brothers, pretty close in age, with the older boy being around eight or nine. I think they were involved in a child exchange, as the mom sat in the lobby and the father came in to have lunch with the kids. After eating, the man stood up and announced he had to get back to work, and the kids hugged him and he left the playland.
None of the kids seemed afraid, but they all seemed to naturally know that someone had done something wrong, and it was important to them that it be known they hadn't done it. They looked at each other wide-eyed and accusingly. I noticed the young boy I had seen with his father earlier stood nervously by the door. His cheeks were red with embarrassment, but he didn't flee. His eyes darted around to all of us, probably looking for whoever was in charge. I expected him to split as soon as no one addressed him, but he nervously paced back and forth in front of the door. I finally made eye contact with him, and he seemed relieved to confess his sin. He was clearly afraid of whatever consequences came with opening a security door.
"I did that. That was me." He said, on the verge of tears.
"Aw, well, it was bound to happen. No worries," I tried to make him feel better.
"I was saying good bye to my dad," He explained as the alarm continued to blare. He stood his ground even as he looked around, waiting for the authorities to come take him away for committing such a horrendous crime. Finally, the lobby guy who cleans the playland, an elderly gent, sauntered into the playland and slowly worked his way across the room to the door. He inserted a key, turned it and the alarm ended. It clearly wasn't the first time someone had opened the forbidden door, and I don't think he even cared who did it.
But that young boy did. He was adamant about owning up to his mistake, and equally adamant about taking any punishment that came with it. He stood directly in front of the older man and confessed again.
"That was me. I did that. I was trying to say good bye to my dad." He waited silently for his punishment.
"Well, don't touch the security doors." And with that, the old man went back to work and the young man breathed a sigh of relief and a big grin spread over his face. He had owned his crime, confessed to his sin, and was let off with a warning. He had to feel pretty good about himself. He had done the right thing.
Our country's leaders, celebrities and athletes could learn a thing or two about maturity and integrity from this young fellow. And he wasn't even ten years old yet.


Apsara dressed in Angkorian-style sampot cloth. The sampot is the national garment of Cambodia. The traditional dress is similar to those worn in the neighboring countries of Laos and Thailand, but variations do exist between the countries. The sampot dates back to the Funan era when a Cambodian king allegedly ordered the people of his kingdom to wear the sampot at the request of Chinese envoys. There are many variations for the sampot, each is washed according to social class. The typical sampot, known also as the sarong is typically worn by men and women of lower class.

Although that era, Thai culture influenced that much into Khmer society, Khmer weaving however, is not a copy from Siam, because Cambodia already had a weaving culture before the Klung civilization.

A Cambodian woman wearing a conical hat to keep off the sun's heat in the rice fields. Her krama is worn underneath The "krama" is what distinctly separates the Khmer (Cambodians) from their Thai, Vietnamese, and Laotian neighbors. The scarf is used for many purposes including for style, protection from the hot sun, an aid (for your feet) when climbing trees, a hammock for infants, a towel, or a "sarong". A "krama" can also be easily shaped into a small child's doll for play. Under the Khmer Rouge, all Khmer were forced to wear a checkered "krama". The conical hat is also worn by many particularly by workers in the countryside to keep the sun off. This, however, is a Vietnamese hat that has been adopted to a certain extent by Khmer in the provinces adjacent to Vietnam.
