TechScape: They used my identity to flog a doomed cryptocurrency – and then things got weird – The Guardian
In this week's newsletter: When I was sent DMs asking for advice about Tsuka, a new coin I was supposedly involved in, I could never have expected what happened next
On Monday morning I woke up to a pair of odd DMs on Twitter. "Sir, Greetings, Do you have any information about Dejitaru Tsuka token," asked one "Dr. Joker"; another had a similar question: "Yo dude what do you know about Tsuka."
I'd not heard about the cryptocurrency, and a quick scan suggested it wasn't worth my time: it was a classic "shitcoin", a newly created token with no reason for existence beyond buying low and selling high.
Gambling on shitcoins takes the subtext of much of the crypto space and turns it into the entire purpose. There is no pretence, here, of anyone banking on widespread use, or of the coins having a purpose. The game is to find one that will go up, buy it cheap, push it as hard as you can to others, and then cash out at the top. The community takes phrases usually associated with financial crime – "shilling", "pump and dump", and so on – and wears them like a badge of honour.
Tsuka was a classic of the form. The only explanation on the public web for the token was some mangled English describing a Japanese legend that destines "the dejitaru tsūka dragon to breathe vast flames of wisdom and prosperity to all who embrace its ferocity and strength" linking, of course, to some exchanges where you could buy the coin.
So I assumed the DMs were the "pump" phase of pump and dump, and ignored them. But then I got a follow-up message, asking me if I was behind an email address "hernalex@proton.me", that the developer of the Tsuka coin had posted on to the blockchain, with the note "encrypted Guardian contact". One buyer had emailed the address, and, thinking they were speaking to me, asked if they knew anything about the coin. A one-word reply, "Yes", helped push a buying frenzy – of sorts.
The numbers are low: before my name was used to promote the coin, it was trading at eight thousandths of a cent (that's $.00008), and after a massive rally it had reached the dizzying high of almost twice that, $.00015. But that still represented around $100,000 of notional value built on a lie.
But I had to try to correct the falsehood. I managed to find the main community channel for Tsuka, on Telegram, and joined its membership of 150 or so users before posting a quick message: "I've got nothing to do with this project. Someone is pretending to be me." But I wasn't able to see the response – I was swiftly kicked from the group, and my post was deleted.
The damage had been done, though. I'd also changed my Twitter bio to warn people that "if someone says I backed their shitcoin, they're scamming you," and – I later learned – that was being re-shared into the group faster than it could be removed.
The coin went into freefall as people rushed to sell, dropping half its value in a matter of minutes. It felt strangely terrible to watch: even though the whole sector is a giant game of trying to find someone else holding the bag when all is said and done, it was my actions that had wiped more than $60k from the total "market cap" of the coin.
One user DM'd me to confirm my story, and told me he'd lost his "life savings" in the crash – $400, a fairly substantial chunk for a Turkish man like him, around a month's salary on the median wage. When he suggested I reimburse $200 to everyone who'd lost money, though, I had to demur; there may be an income disparity between the UK and Turkey, but I don't have $200,000 to hand.
My guilt was assuaged a bit once I started asking people why they'd bought in to Tsuka in the first place. "I blind aped it on Dextools," one told me. That is: a coin they'd never heard of showed up on the new coin list on a crypto exchange, and they invested in it – or bet on it – sight unseen. The Turk had the same explanation; when I asked him if he was really telling me that a random currency showed up and he just put his life savings in it, his response was "true bro. it is crypto talk".
Dev speaks
Shortly after the collapse, I got an email I wasn't expecting – from the ProtonMail account that had pretended to be me. I'd emailed over some questions, but wasn't expecting a reply. What do you say to the person whose identity you stole?
The answer, it seems, is "a marketing pitch". The developer told me that "the community has passed a critical part of this experiment … We follow your work and writings and are sorry if anyone took that as you were behind the coin. The main thing is you were reached through the block chain only. It's not in anyway a scam."
I asked how they could deny trying to scam people into thinking I was involved. They said they'd intended "Guardian" to be taken in the sense that they were the Guardians of the project. "I also follow your work closely so the names went well together … I never said you were involved. I guess it's like Mickey@waltdisney.com vs Mickey@protonmail. Is mickey@protonmail a scammer if he builds a theme park? We don't know."
I thought the impasse was just the natural result of me speaking to a brazen huckster, but the more I asked around, the more it became clear that this was more like two people speaking at cross purposes. The still anonymous devs are sincere that they aren't scamming anyone, because the meaning of "scam" in the world of shitcoins is necessarily narrow. When the base expectation is that every coin will crash at some point, and none of them have any real value beyond marketing puff and community momentum, how can simply lying about who backs a coin really be a meaningful scam?
To the dev, my accusation that they were scamming people was a serious charge. It implied that they had hidden code in the coin that would allow them to take people's money in a way outside the rules of the game – perhaps by suddenly printing millions of tokens to flood the market, or locking it up to prevent anyone else from selling. By contrast, spreading falsehoods about who's backing the token is well within the rules of the game. "DYOR", do your own research, is a catchphrase in the sector; if you're caught out by such an easily-disprovable claim, then you clearly failed to DYOR, and the losses are your fault.
I thought that was where this newsletter would end – someone pretended to be me, I burst their bubble, and learned something valuable about the world of crypto. And then I checked the value of Tsuka one more time, expecting to find it hovering around zero. Instead, I was surprised to find it had gone up.
I asked a few of the investors in the coin, and was alarmed to find that not only had people started buying back in, but there was a growing theory that I was in fact the developer myself, and my claim to have been imitated was some sort of genius double-bluff. A new telegram had been set up, with an experienced shitcoin influencer at the helm, and I asked for a link, preparing to do the same dance again.
What happened was unexpected. Upon proving that I was the real Alex Hern, I was greeted with a wall of glee. One user spammed the phrase "YOUNG_HERN_IN_THE_HOUSE", another posted "ITS_FUCKING_ALEX". "ALEX NEXT ELON", "ALEX SAVE OUR BAGS"… before I could even post my first real message, someone had sent "ALEX TYPING" fifteen times. Where my first appearance had felt like a parent breaking up an illicit house party, this felt more like the second coming, with me unwillingly cast in the role of Jesus.
Things got worse when I said I wanted to speak to people for a story about it. No matter how explicit I was that I thought the entire thing was dumb as hell – dumber than I thought was possible for an already extremely-dumb sector – news of a forthcoming article spread like wildfire. "All publicity is good publicity" was spammed into the channel, with one user pointing out that Shiba Inu, a shitcoin worth an inexplicable $7bn, had had a very similar genesis, with the majority of its early press simply mocking it as a low-effort clone of the original shitcoin, Dogecoin.
Epitaph, the crypto influencer who was responsible for the rebirth of the coin, argued that the whole affair should be less alarming than it feels to me. "Right now it's pretty common," he said. In terms that were more fitting for a multiplayer video game than any sort of functional financial market, he explained that "a couple months ago, the meta shifted into 'LARP tokens', tokens where the team will go to extreme lengths to convince buyers that they're connected to famous celebrities/musicians/larger tokens."
When I asked if others had also tried to head off such "LARPs", I didn't get the answer I hoped: "It's somewhat rare that someone with high-profile actually drops in, although not unheard of. Last week, Martin Shkreli participated in the Telegram communities of two tokens that were launched as homages to him."
I'm not sure I want to be in a club with Martin Shkreli.
In the meantime, the Telegram channel was moving so fast that I could see history being corrupted in real-time. "I'd like to ask some questions for an article" had become "Alex Hern is going to be promoting Tsuka in an article"; others took that claim outwards to Twitter, and to other Telegram channels. Each time I tried to correct them, my reappearance in the chat was seen as yet more evidence that I was personally invested – literally so – in the success of the coin.
Given the end stage of Tsuka is almost certainly going to be "crashes and goes to zero" just like every other shitcoin, I started to get quite concerned. The bigger it grows, the harder everyone is hit when it collapses. I asked Epitaph if there's any way I could have prevented this from happening: "The only way this wouldn't have happened is if you actually had no involvement in the coin (I'm still uncertain what I believe) and you'd never set foot in the [telegram channel] at all. Then people would have known it was a LARP, and the token would be dead within a couple hours."
But, he said, "you shouldn't feel bad. Everyone here knows what they're getting into, especially during LARP season. It's no secret that everything we buy is a scam on some level. The question isn't 'is this token a scam,' because they all are, the question is 'is this scam done well enough to convince other people to buy?'"
If it isn't clear by now: I do not think you should buy this shitcoin, nor any others. And if it also isn't clear by now: people are going to carry on ignoring me here, and I'm sure they'll have a lot of fun doing so.

When Alana Mitchell reached out to me to try some of her individualized skincare products I was psyched. My skin goes through stages of rebellion and maturity constantly. I always am trying new products for my normal skin but I specifically told Alana that I was looking for help on my hormonal acne, acne scars, and brighter skin.
Hi beautiful people! I'm back doing a what's in my bag/review on my 15' Classic Batchel in Leather from the Cambridge Satchel Company.
Hi friends! Another fashionably late Sephora Play review, but I also figured I'd get a chance to talk about my Beauty Insider Holiday Bonus picks.
2 years later and I'm finally talking about the Shade + Light Contour palette! It wasn't that this palette didn't appeal to me, it was just that I had already 3 Kat Von D eyeshadow palettes filling my beauty carousel, there wasn't really any room. I've always preferred a warmer bronzer look, but as the weather becomes cooler I crave a muted, toned down bronzer look. So when I found this palette at Marshalls for $20 I nearly cried, but I didn't realize how challenging this palette was or how challenging the art of contouring is. Thus the need for a blog demo, and probably a video...(Yes video to eventually come).


are using Carlson School Supplies again.
* Kindergarten requires an art smock, and Carlson DOES NOT supply them.
* Some grades require a scientific calculator, flash drive, and/or earbuds/headphones. Those items will be listed as optional items. You can either order them through Carlson or purchase them elsewhere.
* Grades 5, 6, and 7 require a Bible. Carlson DOES NOT supply Bibles, so you would need to purchase one elsewhere.
DEADLINE TO ORDER: June 10.
Carlson will deliver the kits to SJS in August.


Fermi Labs is located in Batavia, Illinois, about 40 miles west of Chicago. Sited on prairie land, the lab explores the "mysteries of matter, energy, space, and time," putting it in the same business as the late Leon Russell, who was the Master of Space and Time. And you know, there isn't really much difference between physics and music, its all about gaps in space, timing, acceleration, and deceleration.
Fermi Labs is part of the U.S. Government of Energy, which currently is headed by Secretary Rick Perry, a frightening proposition. The complex includes seven accelerators. I asked whether it was possible to go underground to photograph them, but I was assured no one wants to go underground to pits filled with snakes--I assume that was tongue in check. Apparently there isn't much to see. The particles are going at close to the speed of light, so you would need a really fast shutter if they let you in the accelerator. I did overhear one guide describing a 500+ megapixel camera that the Fermi scientists had built, so you Phase One folks should save your pennies. 100 megapixels is nothing.
Although I could not go inside an accelerator, I was able to get an overview from the 15th floor observation area in the Robert Wilson building. The accelerator is underneath a circular mound. Every 50 years or so, there is a door built into the mound wall that must provide access to engineers and technicians.
Unfortunately the sky was not very interesting yesterday, so I will be headed back out to photograph Wilson Hall again. I suspect the best time to photograph this building is in summer, after 5PM, when the setting sun will light the white cement. Yesterday also proved problematic because it was Tom Skilling weather day, so the parking lots and front of the Wilson Hall were cluttered with ugly cars. Yuk.
And if you don't like some of the angles in the following photographs, I am unwilling to enter areas that have huge red and white signs posted, "Authorized Personnel Only Beyond This Point." I am not interested in being prosecuted by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. For you junior photographers, I did call the media office before heading out to find out what was permissible.

Gene Gotti, Brother of Mafia Godfather John Gotti, to Be Released from Prison
If the late John Gotti's long-jailed brother finds the 21st-century Mafia unrecognizable later this month, he knows where the blame lies.
Gene Gotti , behind bars since 1989 for running a multi-million dollar heroin distribution ring, is set for a Sept. 15 release from the Federal Correctional Institution in Pollock, La. The Long Island father of three, now 71, wore a white jogging suit and cracked wise about his upcoming prison time when surrendering in the last millennium at the Brooklyn Federal Courthouse.
Back in the '80s heyday of his immaculately-dressed older brother and the Gambino family, FBI bugs captured Gene discussing topics from drug dealing to hiding illegal cash to changes in mob hierarchy.
The recordings of the Gambino capo and his mob associates became the first damaging domino to fall for the family in 1983, setting in motion the demise of their criminal empire.
What remains is a faint whisper of the roar that followed the ascension to boss of John (Dapper Don) Gotti, who took over after ordering the Dec. 16, 1985, mob assassination of predecessor "Big Paul" Castellano — in part to save his smack-dealing sibling's life.
"What is Genie coming home to?" mused one long-retired Gambino family hand and Gotti contemporary. "There's nothing left."
When Gene Gotti started his 50-year prison bid, George H.W. Bush was in year one at the White House, an earthquake rocked the Bay Area World Series and the lip-syncing duo Milli Vanilli topped the charts.
Gene Gotti was convicted at his third federal drug-dealing trial, with jury tampering cited for a mistrial in the first one and a hung jury in the second. He and brother John were also cleared in a 1987 federal racketeering case where a juror was bribed.
Angel Gotti, Gene's niece and the daughter of John, expects her uncle to find his footing in freedom.
"My uncle has been away 29 years so I'm sure he will be spending all his time with his wife, kids and grandchildren," Angel told the Daily News.
Gene became one of five Gotti brothers to embrace "The Life" of organized crime. Though John emerged as the top gun, Gene earned his own spurs and became a valued mobster.
"He was a bona-fide wiseguy," said ex-FBI agent Bruce Mouw, former head of the agency's Gambino squad. "He wasn't there because of his brother. He made it on his own." But bona fide wiseguys are hard to find in 2018. Big brother John is dead 16 years, and sibling Peter appears destined to die behind bars, too. John's namesake son Junior Gotti quit the mob after doing time for a strip club shakedown; he then survived four prosecutions that ended in mistrials. The Gotti crew's Bergin Hunt & Fish Club in Ozone Park, Queens, is gone, replaced by the Lords of Stitch and Print custom embroidery shop.
Even the Mafia "brand" is down: The recently-released movie with John Travolta playing the "Teflon Don" grossed a mere $4.3 million — hardly "Godfather" numbers.
"The American Mafia has a recruitment problem: Who the hell wants to be a member?" said mob expert Howard Abadinsky, professor of criminal justice at St. John's.
The new generation is filled with wanna-bes "who have either seen too many Mafia movies or losers who do not have the smarts or ambition for legitimate opportunity," he added.
The older generation was not always a Mensa meeting, either — and Gene Gotti was Example A.
By the early 1980s, Gene was partnered with pals John Carneglia and Angelo Ruggiero in a lucrative heroin operation that ignored a Mafia edict against dope dealing. Gambino boss Castellano imposed a death penalty for violators, worried that drug convictions with lengthy jail terms provided an incentive for mobsters to rat out the family's top echelon.
Gotti and his cohorts not only ignored the decree, they were caught discussing their drug dealing on an FBI bug planted in Ruggiero's home. "Dial any seven numbers and it's 50/50 Angelo will pick up the phone," a disgusted Carneglia later observed of his chatty cohort.
For Mouw, the recordings that led to Gene Gotti's August 1983 arrest altered the landscape for the feds and the felons under their watch. "Without those conversations, a lot of things could have changed," he said.
Instead, Castellano was soon pressing the Gotti faction for the damning tapes turned over by prosecutors as part of pre-trial discovery. The boss' demand was greeted with excuses and delays, until Castellano was whacked 10 days before Christmas outside a Midtown steakhouse.
Decades later, it's too late to change anything — including Gene's decision to reject a plea deal that might have freed him after just seven years in prison.
"His brother John said no," recalled Mouw. "He and Carneglia, they would have been home 20 years ago."
The past is the past. What does the future hold for Gene Gotti?
"That's the big question," said Mouw. "Are you going to retire and enjoy your grandchildren? Or are you going to get active, and return to jail?"
Thanks to Larry McShane.

Sammy the Bull Testifes That John Gotti Ordered the Slaying of Gambino Crime Boss Paul Castellano
Reputed mob boss John Gotti ordered the slaying of Paul Castellano out of fear that he faced assassination himself, Gotti's onetime underboss said during his first day of testimony yesterday in a hushed and heavily guarded courtroom.
There were "quite a few reasons" why Gotti wanted the head of the Gambino crime family killed, Salvatore Gravano said in a low and gravelly voice. But, he testified, Gotti's chief motive was self-preservation.
Gravano described the 10 months during which, he, Gotti and others planned Castellano's execution. He said the final plan came shortly after the death of cancer-striken Aniello Dellacroce, the Gambino family's underboss and Gotti's mentor.
"Paul showed total disrespect and didn't go to the funeral," Gravano told the jury. "We were wondering if and when . . . Paul might make a move - if he might strike," Gravano testified. "We wondered if he might shoot John and Angelo" Ruggiero, a close Gotti associate. "Paul Castellano, after Neil [Dellacroce] died, said he was going to wreck John's crew," said Gravano. He said Castellano was angry that members of Gotti's crew had violated a family rule - enforceable by death - against drug dealing.
Gravano, the highest-level mob informant ever to testify against Gotti, was calm and composed as he took the stand under a deal to reduce his prison sentence to 20 years. Indicted along with Gotti and co-defendant Frank Locascio, he faced life in prison without parole if convicted at trial. Gravano occasionally glanced at Gotti, and once during the testimony pointed out Gotti and Locascio as being the boss and consigliere of the crime family.
Under questioning by Assistant U.S. Attorney John Gleeson, Gravano said others beside Gotti were dissatisfied with Castellano.
"At the time, there were a lot of conversations about Paul. Nobody was too happy with him . . . He was selling out the family for his own basic businesses," said Gravano, explaining that Castellano formed several business partnerships with leaders of the Genovese crime family.
Gravano said Gotti and his followers also were upset that Castellano had allowed another crime family to kill a Gambino crime captain in Connecticut. "You just don't let another family kill a captain in your family," Gravano testified. "That's against the rules."
Gravano said Gotti discussed two other possible plans for killing Castellano that were rejected. In one plan, Castellano was to have been shot at his home on Staten Island. But that plan was dropped because "there was a lot of FBI surveillance at his house," Gravano said.
Another rejected plan called for an old-time mobster to walk into a diner where Castellano and his driver, Thomas Bilotti, frequently went before meeting with Castellano's lawyer, James LaRossa. "The old man was known by Paul and would be able to walk in and shoot him," Gravano said.
Gravano, 46, said the final planning session for Castellano's murder came the night before Castellano and Bilotti were shot to death outside Sparks Steak House on East 46th Street on Dec. 16, 1985.
Frank DeCicco, a Castellano loyalist, had informed Gotti and Gravano that he would be meeting Castellano and Bilotti for dinner at Sparks on Dec. 16, Gravano testified. Also among those attending the dinner, said Gravano, would be Thomas Gambino, son of the late Carlo Gambino, for whom the Gambino family is named.
The night before, at a meeting Gotti arranged, Gotti, Gravano and Ruggiero sat down with eight other mob figures at Gravano's drywall construction firm in Brooklyn and outlined a plan to kill two men whose names were not revealed. "We didn't tell them who was going to be hit," Gravano said. "We just said he had to be done."
Gravano said it was decided that the shooters would be John Carneglia, Edward Lino, Salvatore Scala and Vinny Artuso, all members of the Gambino crime family.. The others would serve as backups who would be stationed at various locations.
The next afternoon, the participants - armed with guns and walkie-talkies - met Gotti and Gravano in a small park on the Lower East Side and were told the names of their targets for the first time. "We told them exactly who was going, and that it had to be done," Gravano testified.
The designated shooters were stationed in front of Sparks, Gravano said, and four backup shooters were posted around the block. He said the backups included Anthony Rampino, a convicted Gambino soldier, and Ruggiero.
"Me and John got in the car and went to the Third Avenue side of East 46th," Gravano testified. "I was a backup shooter. If they [Castellano and Bilotti] got away, we would be ready."
At that point in his testimony, U.S. District Court Judge I. Leo Glasser closed the session for the day and ordered Gravano's examination to continue today.
Gravano, known on the street as Sammy the Bull, spent much of his two hours on the witness stand discussing his crime career, which he said began shortly after he dropped out of school at the age of 16. From 1961 to 1964, "I worked on and off. I committed armed robberies, burglaries."
He served in the Army between 1964 and 1966. After his discharge, he said he returned to Brooklyn. "I went back to my life of crime," he said.
Gleeson asked him how many murders he was admitting."Nineteen," Gravano said.
Gravano said he was something of an expert killer. Asked by Gleeson if there was a common expression used by the Gambino family for murder, Gravano said without emotion: "To do a piece of work - to whack someone out."
He described his 1976 initiation into the Gambino crime family in the presence of Castellano. He said during the ceremony, his trigger finger was pricked with a pin, a drop of blood was placed on the picture of a saint and the picture was set afire.
He then repeated his oath of silence: "If I divulge any secrets of this organization my soul should burn like this saint."
Gravano testified that officials of the Luchese, Colombo and Bonanno crime families were notified of the plan to kill Castellano. "They were behind the killing," he said. New York's fifth crime organization, the Genovese family, was not consulted. "We didn't trust them because Paul Castellano was in partners with them," Gravano said.

Not Fantasy Football Welcome to reality
College Football Power Rankings IV: The Quest for Peace
But there will be no peace.
No, not on the weekend of college football's Armageddon. The game every college football junkie has been waiting for is finally here, and big hits are sure to be in order for the SEC West's shining moment. When No. 1 LSU makes the trip to Tuscaloosa to tango with No. 2 Alabama, it will be the first regular season matchup of top ranked teams since No. 1 Ohio State defeated No. 2 Michigan in 2006. It will also be the first time SEC teams have met in conference play as top ranked teams. This has the makings of as national title elimination game and, since both teams had byes last week, the hype machine has been pushing it for two weeks now.
But seriously, no pressure.
While those two were off last week, two BCS conference unbeatens fell by the wayside. Kansas State was fully exposed by Oklahoma, while Clemson was blasted by Georgia Tech. That leaves four undefeated teams from BCS conferences, with one guaranteed to lose the LSU-Bama game. Alongside the nation's two top teams, Stanford and Oklahoma State have yet to fall. The Cardinal escaped the Colosseum last week in triple overtime against USC while the Cowboys' offense has looked unstoppable all year. Boise State also remains unbeaten, but with Stanford jumping them in this week's BCS poll, consider it the beginning of the end for their title hopes.
Here are this week's rankings.
1. LSU: 8-0
I guess we will know how to rank them after Saturday night.
2. Alabama: 8-0
3. Stanford: 8-0
Andrew Luck threw a pick-six that gave USC the lead with just over three minutes left. He didn't blink the rest of the game, leading a touchdown drive for the tie and three scoring drives in overtime for the win.
4. Oklahoma State: 8-0
That offense is just phenomenal, but the defense did a nice job of keeping Baylor's spread attack in check.
5. Boise State: 7-0
The Broncos were the "other" undefeated top-5 team on a bye last week. UNLV should offer Boise little resistance this week as they prep for TCU.
6. Oregon: 7-1
The Ducks have scored at least 40 points in their seven consecutive victories. They continue to trend upward towards their November 12th game at Stanford.
7. Oklahoma: 7-1
Wow, that was easy! The Sooners were absolutely dominant against previously undefeated K-State. It's a shame they lay one egg every year.
8. Nebraska: 7-1
The Huskers flexed their muscles against a scorching-hot Michigan State team last week. Nebraska kept it simple and loaded the box against the Spartan rushing attack, while keeping it on the ground offensively. That will be their recipe for success this year, until they run into another team that can beat them throwing it down the field. Good thing that won't happen, if it ever does, until they get to a bowl game.
9. Arkansas: 7-1
Another slow start for the Razorbacks, this time against Vanderbilt. That's two conference bottom dwellers in a row that they have had to come back on. I am officially worried about my proclamation that Arkansas is, in fact, really good.
10. Virginia Tech: 8-1
These guys are just going to move up slowly as other teams lose. As I said, they play nobody of note and are just going to keep winning until the ACC championship. That is, unless newly revitalized Georgia Tech can knock them off this week..
11. Houston: 8-0
Case Keenum threw for nine touchdowns last week! To show you how crazy that is, if he had thrown one more, it would be proper AP style to begin using numerals for his single-game touchdown statistic rather than spelling it out. Insane!
12. Michigan: 7-1
The Wolverines turned the ball over early, but dominated both sides of the ball against a Purdue team that had been playing well in the trenches of late. A good sign for Michigan, because physical defenses from Iowa, Nebraska and Ohio State loom in the next four weeks.
13. Penn State: 8-1
This is the most boring and least explosive 8-1 team in the BCS era. The Nittany Lions have zero quarterback play(from two quarterbacks), a mediocre ground game, but an immovable defensive front. Joe Pa's staff is finding ways to put it together, but you can't win 10-7 every week, even in the Big Ten.
14. Clemson: 8-1
Oh Clemson, I had such high hopes for you! This was gonna be the year!! This was it! All those top recruiting classes that turned into Meineke Car Care Bowl losses, this was supposed to be the end of that! But no, you let a reeling Georgia Tech run all over you on their way to a 31-17 victory. Oh well, you're still just two wins away from locking up a spot in the ACC title game.
15. South Carolina: 7-1
Man, I still have to rank this team high even though they no longer have their starting quarterback or running back? Well, they're still the favorites in the SEC East, so I guess so.
16. Kansas State: 7-1
Oklahoma showed that if you slow down Kansas State on the ground and get a lead, the Wildcats can do zilch through the air. Dully noted. I look for them to get blasted again this week against Oklahoma State and drop to 25th in my poll.
17. Georgia: 6-2
The Dawgs scored a huge victory in "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" against the Gators Saturday. They still have yet to beat a ranked team, or even a team that currently has a winning record(Coastal Carolina sitting on 4-4.. Dammit!!). But, by 2011 SEC East standards, THEY.. ARE.. ROLLING!!
18. Michigan State: 6-2
The Spartans were physically man-handled last week, and senior quarterback Kirk Cousins was unable to cash in against a three-man secondary all day.
19. Wisconsin: 6-2
Another week, another last-minute Hail Mary loss for the Badgers.
20. Arizona State:6-2
Their blowout win over USC looks a whole lot better this week, but their loss to Illinois keeps looking worse.
21. USC: 6-2
Speaking of the Trojans, Lane Kiffin officially coached the most impressive game of his career. The only is problem is it came in a loss at home to Stanford. Kidding aside, the way USC played against a superior, more experienced Cardinal team legitimized them in my book.
22. Georgia Tech: 7-2
The Yellow Jackets bounced back by whooping Clemson last week. Their game against Virginia Tech could fully redeem their mid-season breakdown and land them a spot in the ACC title game.
23. Auburn: 6-3
The Tigers are sitting on fourth in the loaded SEC West. It's a shame, because the reigning national champs would have a legitimate shot of winning any other league in the country.
24. Cincinnati: 6-1
Hey, somebody from the Big East has to be ranked, right?
25. Ohio State: 5-3
Much like Penn State, they have no quarterback, and their ground game has only been pretty good. But, they can stop people and have the athletes on offense to break a big one every once in a while.
Game I will definitely be watching
Endicott at MIT
Yes, of course I will be watching LSU-Bama that night, but don't sleep on this New England Football Conference matchup. The Engineers are coming off their first NEFC victory, a 23-0 thrashing of Nichols, and hope they can ride work-horse back Justin Wallace to a shocking upset. Last week, in an October snow storm, MIT let Wallace carry the load, rushing 41 times for 190 yards and three touchdowns. As it stands, Wallace needs 108 yards to become the first MIT freshman ever to rush for 1,000 yards in a season.
But the real problem for the Engineers will be on the other side of the ball. Endicott's offense leads the conference at just over 42 points a game, and is equally adept throwing it as it is running it…
Ok, this is a shameless plug. I'm doing play-by-play for this game. But seriously, it's gonna be fun.
Game where the two schools' athletic directors may need to be physically separated
Louisville at West Virginia
Now this could be awkward… Both of these schools were actively selling themselves to the Big 12, but West Virginia ultimately got the invite. In mid-October, it seemed WVU to the Big 12 was a done deal, but then Louisville AD Tom Jurich reached out to the conference and made a sales pitch for Louisville. It must have made an impression, as the Big 12 delayed inviting WVU and reports surfaced that the conference was now considering Louisville. This led to much angst and many cries of foul play in Mountaineer country.
Then reports came out that the conference may add both. Then they were all like, sike Louisville! Have fun playing basketball in that sinking conference! Needless to say, Jurich was not pleased, and now Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino has been crying about his program and how it is not being considered in these decisions to every writer that will listen(not particularly relevant to this situation, but annoying nonetheless). Perhaps cameras will catch a nice shot of Jurich and WVU AD Oliver Luck(yep, Andrew's daddy) exchanging pleasantries during Saturday's game in Morgantown.
Most interesting betting line
Vanderbilt at Florida(-11)
This is a tricky line, and I know I would not want to be the guy handicapping this one. On one hand, Florida is clearly the more talented team across the board. But, the Gators have had trouble in the second half of games lately, and quarterback John Brantley's return from injury last week did not exactly inspire confidence. The inconsistent signal caller threw no picks, but only completed 35% of his passes and failed to convert any significant third downs in the second half against Georgia.
Also, running back Chris Rainey, Florida's leading rusher, is expected to miss the game against the Commodores, who are playing surprisingly well this year. Jordan Rodgers may not have his brother Aaron's Super Bowl arm, but the nifty quarterback has Vanderbilt moving the chains on the ground. They nearly knocked off Arkansas last week and played Georgia, the team that just beat Florida, to only a five point loss two games before that.
All that being said, if the Gators take care of the ball and just contain Rodgers, they should win this thing going away. But, the Gators have been a very inconsistent team this year, and have been prone to letting big plays against them linger. The game is in the Swamp, so I don't think there is any way Florida loses this game straight up. But, with SEC East leader South Carolina looming next week, this does seem like enough of a trap game against a deceptively good opponent that it could end up being a seven to 10 point game.
Or Florida could be pissed that they haven't won a game in over a month, during the longest Gator losing streak since the pre-Spurrier era, and win 50. Who knows?

These claims have emerged when Netanyahu took the stage of the 73rd annual session of the UN General Assembly, in New York, to bring out the anti-Iran threadbare allegation that Iran is working to develop nuclear weapons at secret atomic warehouse in Tehran.
Netanyahu further claimed that the national resistance, Hezbollah has built three missile storehouses as part of the joint effort with Iran and Hezbollah to upgrade the organisation's long-range precision ground-to-ground missile force, near Beirut's Rafiq Hariri International Airport, underneath the stadium of Hezbollah-affiliated al-Ahed football team and in the middle of a residential neighbourhood.
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in his latest speech has boasted that the resistance now possesses highly accurate missiles despite the Zionist enemy's attempts to prevent it from acquiring them. This prompted Netanyahu that Hezbollah has been improving its capabilities and guided missiles.
Minister Gibran Bassil went on to say that the Lebanese have "a legitimate right to resistance, until the liberation of all occupied territory […] Today Lebanon is calling on all countries, especially the permanent UN Security Council members, to reject "Israeli" claims in order to prevent any Israeli attack on Lebanon." Bassil warned that such an assault would have repercussions across the region, asserting that the Zionist enemy is seeking to justify another aggression against Lebanon under the excuse of the presence of Hezbollah missile sites.
The Zionist entity has attacked Lebanon's sovereignty thousands of time and thus Lebanon has the complete right to defend itself. Its steadfastness and resistance have hideously defeated the enemy. Bassil that the tour was not "a fact-finding mission," but part of a "counter-diplomatic campaign" to rebut the enemy's allegations, which he said could serve as a pretext for an Israeli attack.
Remarkably, the US ambassador's Elizabeth Richard did not partake in the tour as she was allegedly outside Lebanon. Nevertheless, if the Americans' intention was to hear the Lebanese perspective and to refute the Zionists' propaganda, it would be possible to send any diplomat representing the embassy. The most prominent absentee from the field tour, were ambassadors and representatives of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, with the exception of the charge d'affaires of the Amman embassy.
Bassil has revealed the falsity of the enemy's accusations and its intentions to launch a full-scale war on Lebanon's infrastructure, civilian facilities and residential areas, from the forum of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
Both Netanyahu and Tel Aviv's threats would never affect the Lebanese and their resistance's attitudes. They will continue fighting to regain their occupied lands and legitimate rights guaranteed by the international laws. The Pinocchio paradox arises when Pinocchio says, "My nose grows now" and is a version of the liar paradox. As such Netanyahu is, he will keep lying and our resistance will keep its defence against his illegitimate entity, any time it violates our independence and sovereignty.

I met Phil for the first time in May 2009. I was. I must admit, nervous to say the least at the prospect of discussing financial matters with someone I did not know. Suffice to say I need not have worried as Phil instantly put me at ease. His manner was very professional while sympathetic to my needs. I soon realised that I could ask him anything. He spent a lot of time explaining in detail (in words I could comprehend), products and investments that would suit my needs best. All subsequent appointments have been followed up with comprehensive documentation. I know he is willing to answer any of my queries on financial matters either over the phone or via email. This amounts to me feeling well supported by someone who cares about me as an individual as well as my investments.

I've found Phil to be extremely helpful and supportive over this period as myself and my wife were undergoing a few changes to our financial situation during 2011. Basically, there were my wife cutting down her work commitment from 5 days to 2 days from last September, and I was considering taking voluntary redundancy and in fact took it in December 2011. Also, one daughter getting married last year and another one in 2012 plus other things, so you can guess we're going to face some fundamental changes in our situation, with questions such as could we afford it, and planning short, medium and long term. Phil offered practical advice as to hot to plan for our financial arrangements going forward. This included a cash flow analysis report to meet our outgoings. He also produced a financial planning report to examine existing arrangements, and work out the best choices and options for our plans. This was undertaken with continuous communication and recommendations with ourselves and agreement at every stage.

'Breaking Bad' proves lucky break for Aaron Paul
By FRAZIER MOOREAssociated Press
It all began when Walter White, a nebbishy high school chemistry teacher in Albuquerque, N.M., learned he had terminal cancer. Then he hit on a way to make fast money to leave his family when he was gone: cook and sell crystal methamphetamine.
That was the stepping-off point for "Breaking Bad," one of TV's most unlikely drama masterpieces, which resumes its unlikely tale as its third season starts Sunday on AMC at 10 p.m.
The Peabody Award-winning series stars Bryan Cranston as Walt, whose medical condition at this point seems stabilized.
He has stashed away bundles of cash from his crystal meth sales. But he has also rocked his family with his deviant behavior and put himself in the cross hairs of a drug cartel that wants him dead.
Meanwhile, Jesse Pinkman, his troublesome partner, is grieving. A former washout from Walt's chemistry class who helped him gain entry to the world of pushing drugs (while using plenty of drugs himself), Jesse is in rehab now.
He is mourning the death of Jane, his first true love, from the heroin overdose he blames himself for.
He is also mourning his imagined role in a midair collision of two jetliners over Albuquerque at the end of last season.
"This is such a show about change," says Aaron Paul, who plays Jesse. "The characters start one way and morph into something completely different."
Now Jesse is clean, in despair and at loose ends, reduced to phoning Jane's answering machine over and over, just to hear her saucy greeting.
How long can he fight the temptation of renewed self-destruction?
And can Walt -- transformed from a nerdy schoolteacher to a self-styled drug czar known as Heisenberg -- convince himself that he has the money he needs for his family and can walk away from the business?
No point trying to predict. "Breaking Bad" remains shocking, tragic and altogether unpredictable from the first images of the season opener.
It's also bitterly funny.
"You laugh at things you absolutely shouldn't be laughing at," notes Paul. Asked to name a favorite past scene, he recalls a sequence that involved a corpse in an acid bath collapsing through the bathroom floor in Jesse's parents' house to crash downstairs at the feet of Walt and Jesse.
Sickening. Hilarious. And another case of Jesse messing up big-time.
"He's just this kid struggling to find his way," says Paul, trying to summon some sympathy, "barely keeping his head above the water."
Maybe, maybe not. But it's a testament to Paul's portrayal that viewers do find Jesse sympathetic in his weak-willed, dangerous fashion.
The part seems to fit Paul like a glove -- at least, until you catch him on "Big Love," the HBO drama series about a polygamous family where he plays the straight-arrow newlywed of Amanda Seyfried's character. He is almost unrecognizable from one show to the other.
The 30-year-old actor grew up in Boise, Idaho, the son of a Baptist minister. Experience in school plays hooked him on acting. After graduating from high school a year early, he set off at 17 for Hollywood with his parents' blessing.
"Typical story," he says. "Pack the car full of stuff, but anytime it rained, my trunk would fill up with water. And the 3rd and 5th gears wouldn't work."

Team-Building Testimonials
"I scheduled two private rooms for a team building experience for work. No surprise to me that EVERYONE loved it! We had such a blast and it was such a good bonding and learning experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a fun time. It was my first Escape Room experience and I was SO impressed by the level of complexity of the puzzles. It's even cooler to know that the owner develops these puzzles on her own! So cool! Don't think twice - go!"
~Nellie, Yelp Review
"Phenomenal experience... Out of our group of 20, only two had ever done an Escape Room before - and the three Game Masters did a great job making our group feel welcome. Of the four Escape Room locations I have been to in the Raleigh/Durham area, this is by far the best in terms of the quality of the rooms. The game play was great, the rooms were professionally decorated, and we had a blast. I would highly recommend this place for corporate events and team building exercises. Our group could not stop talking about the event on the way back to the office, and more than a few people expressed interest in going back and doing the other rooms. Well done Bull City Escape!"
~Mike, Google Review
"I had so much fun at Bull City Escape. I went with a team of five of my coworkers, and it was fascinating to see how we all worked together... Our team's dynamics mirrored those that we have at work, but the new setting and pressure pushed us to communicate and collaborate in new ways. It made me appreciate the varied strengths, senses of humor, and ways of thinking of my coworkers even more than before - we needed everyone to get it done!"
~Alyson, TripAdvisor Review
"A member of our ministry team was stepping down to return to the pews and we went to Bull City Escape to celebrate her. It's a very fun experience! We were very impressed with the atmosphere, challenge of the puzzles, and welcoming spirit of our host! It's also an experience that rewards you for working together and having a mix of talents and personalities in your midst. Highly recommend!"
~Bill, TripAdvisor Review
"This was a great experience for our group of colleagues! Some of us knew each other; some didn't. At the end of the game, we knew each other better—and we had a ton of fun as an added bonus!"
~Libby, Bookeo Review
"Our company decided to try out Bull City Escape for our company outing and had a complete blast! We were split into three teams and each team was assigned to one of the rooms. We couldn't stop talking about the different experiences each of the teams shared all through lunch. The staff is wonderful, the clues are interesting, and it really gives a chance for team building or just plain fun."
~Lauren, Facebook Review
"My company scheduled a private event as a team-building exercise. This was by far the most fun, and most challenging, team-building activity that we could have hoped for! I highly recommend Bull City Escape to other small and big companies looking for valuable team-building activities."

Here's a new twist in the Trumpcare ad wars: Instead of pressuring Republicans for or against it, a pro-Trump group is launching a $3 million ad campaign praising GOP members who are trying to get it passed. America First Policies, a nonprofit started by some of President Trump's former campaign aides, is running TV and digital ads urging supporters to thank the Republicans for their "courage."
Who's on the list: It includes Reps. Gary Palmer and Dave Schweikert, the two Republicans who wrote the latest Trumpcare amendment (giving extra help to insurers with expensive patients."
Between the lines: It's a signal from Trump's allies about the importance of passing something — because it shows they'll help Republicans who might get blowback over the bill.

Biografia
Seguì Garibaldi nella spedizione dell'Aspromonte del 1862, sempre fedele alla camicia rossa nel 1866 militò col grado di tenente medico nel corpo dei Carabinieri genovesi prendendo  parte ad altri tentativi insurrezionali.

A Lugano fu tra gli organizzatori dell'Alleanza Repubblicana, partito fondato da Mazzini nel 1869.

Massone, verso il 1880 fu membro della Loggia "Uguaglianza" di Roma.

Al congresso del Patto di fratellanza tenutosi nel 1882 a Genova, dibatté col garibaldino forlivese Antonio Fratti, di ispirazione saffiana, sulla partecipazione dei repubblicani alle competizioni elettorali: Pantano era favorevole, mentre Fratti, intransigente, si dichiarò nettamente contrario.

Deputato di sinistra, nel 1899 fu tra i più risoluti nell'applicare la tattica dell'ostruzionismo per impedire l'approvazione delle leggi liberticide di Luigi Pelloux.

Oltre al Mazzini, ebbe rapporti di assidua collaborazione con Aurelio Saffi, che fu il principale erede politico di Mazzini e l'anima del mazzinianesimo municipalista, Maurizio Quadrio, Giovanni Bovio e Mario Rapisardi.

Fu ministro dell'agricoltura, dell'industria e del commercio durante il primo governo Sonnino nel 1906, ministro dei lavori pubblici durante il Governo Nitti I nel biennio 1919- 1920. Nel 1921 fu nominato senatore. Fu direttore de Il Secolo di Milano e raccolse i suoi ricordi in un libro, Memorie.

Will an unlocked 9780 (originally AT&T (GSM), 3G) now work on Verizon (CDMA) since adoption of 4G?
I'm moving somewhere rural where Verizon is the most reliable carrier. I'm currently on AT&T using a Bold 9780. I know GSM phones used not to work on CDMA networks, but the internet is telling me conflicting things about compatibility since the advent of 4G, e.g. that using an unlocked AT&T phone on Verizon is now possible. But that may only be for 4G phones, or it may be completely untrue.
Will a GSM 3G phone now work on Verizon? If not, what was the CDMA equivalent to the 9780? The 9650?

I read somewhere, if I remember correctly, that Verizon will no longer permit you to activate a new (to you) 3G phone on your account. I think @idssteve is on Verizon and could verify.
@Shuswap is right about that, Verizon has been refusing to activate "new" cdma-3g stuff for quite a few months, now. Existing activations are still functioning fine (till year end??) but my company has tried to replace damaged 9930s and 9650s with "new" replacements and no-go.
Personally, I tried, in a fit of rush, to activate a temporary replacement for this 9930 after damage, some months back... Something I've done on-line so many times it's almost embedded in muscle memory. Lol. VZW refused to activate the "new" 9930 replacement. And allowed that had I successfully de-activated existing, it would no longer re-activate. This old friend (Agent99) got a new KB and display and battery cover and she's now well dressed for her final months... As a pre-existing activation.
Another personal experience with my elderly father's beloved 9650. As he puts it, he's "too old and shaky to be in the same room with touchscreens...". Haha. His 9650 was un-repairable and identical replacement was refused activation on VZW. He's now bemoaning an awful flip phone of some sort. 9650 was about the last of non-touch qwerty. Had his choice of quite a few "dumb phones" but NO non-touch qwerty... What are "shaky" folks supposed to do? Lol.
IDK how VZW would treat 4G ATT devices at this point...??? Interesting to ponder if my 4G ATT Passport, for example, might now be "made" to work on VZW??? IDK... I did hear about a 4Glte-3G CDMA Classic that a coworker had de-activated and then it was refused activation but don't know ANY details so... fwiw.

9650 is what I last used in the BBOS line, the 9930 was the updated version that ran BBOS7. But I really loved the 9650 size and keyboard better.
But as others have stated, it's a moot point now.... If you really need a keyboard, I'd suggest that you skip the BB10 options (they have their own upcoming issues) and go straight to a KEY2 LE.
Thanks very much, all. I figured it wasn't going to work, but now at least I know not even to try a "new" old Bold replacement.
I never upgraded beyond the 9780 because of the size and great keyboard combined. It was perfectly sized and I don't watch videos or really do anything that requires a big display. As for alternatives, am I understanding correctly that any unlocked 4G phone will work with Verizon now?
As for alternatives, am I understanding correctly that any unlocked 4G phone will work with Verizon now?
No. It must be an approved by Verizon and compatible device. They will NOT activate just any phone.
So I pick some potentials and check with Verizon for compatibility? Or I'm limited to what they directly offer? Whenever the 9780 was originally released--that's the last time I bought a phone, and I've only ever been with TMobile and AT&T so switching was painless. I'm really not up on the process. Thanks.

Pick a device, then you can check here - https://forums.crackberry.com/e?link...token=GtdrFcML Effectively, nothing has really changed with VZW since your 9780 days in that Verizon still has specific requirements that not all GSM devices offer, and you have to seek out a Verizon compatible device.
Okay. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
Your far better off getting what Verizon offers... if you want painless.
BYOD is doable with Verizon, but full functionality and ease of support aren't part of the package.
Has anyone seen or noticed the current line of Blackberry's in television programs?

Front side Constantine
Constantine I, born in Naissuss in 272 was a powerful Emperor who reigned over the Roman Empire until his death. He made the previously named city Byzantium (now Istanbul, Turkey) capital of the whole Roman Empire in 330 A.D. As emperor, he named the city Constantinople, which means "City of Constantine" in Greek.
Before Constantine became Emperor, he was fighting for the throne at the Battle of Milvian Bridge. When he saw a cross in the sky with the words in hoc signo vinces (Latin for "in this sign you shall conquer"), he changed his deity from Apollo to Jesus and won the battle. In pagan Rome before this, it had been against the law to believe in Christianity, and Christians had been tortured or killed, but Constantine made sure that this stopped, and that they were given their property back. During his reign, Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. He went on to organize the whole Catholic Church at the Council of Nicea, even though he himself did not get baptized until near the end of his life.
Back side Constantine Arch, Edict of Milan
The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch in Rome, situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected to commemorate Constantine I's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312. It is the latest of the extant triumphal arches in Rome.
The Constantine arch is 21 m high, 25.7 m wide and 7.4 m deep. The decoration of the arch heavily uses parts of older monuments, which are given a new meaning in the context of the Constantinian building. As it celebrates the victory of Constantine, the new "historic" friezes illustrating his campaign in Italy convey the central meaning: the praise of the emperor, both in battle and in his civilian duties. Other decoration is taken from the "golden times" of the Empire under Trajan, Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius places Constantine next to these "good emperors", and the content of the pieces evokes images of the victorious and pious ruler. Constantine legalized Christianity definitively in 313 as evidenced in the so-called Edict of Milan.
In hoc signo vinces - "By this sign you will conquer" and it is addressed to Constantine's vision before the Battle of Milvian Bridge. That sign from his vision is called Labarum, and is shown on the back of the banknote in the middle of the Constantie arch. Later on, Labarum was used as a military standard which displayed the first two Greek letters of the word Christ ( Greek: ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ or Χριστός )—Chi (χ) and Rho, (ρ)

Titleholders BB&O and Lancashire score first points
Lancashire marked their return to the English Senior Men's County Finals with a hefty 8.5-0.5 win over Worcestershire, while titleholders BB&O (Berks, Bucks & Oxon) endured a nervy spell before clinching their 6-3 win over Devon.
The four teams, each representing one of the England Golf men's regions, are playing for the title in a round robin tournament in perfect autumn weather at Chipping Sodbury in Gloucestershire.
The nerve of the defending champions was thoroughly tested in today's opening match. BB&O were down in all three foursomes this morning before managing to turn two around with 2up wins from the pairings of David Niven and Andrew Stracey and Malcolm Reid and George Best Wilson.
Niven, an England senior international, and Best Wilson both swept away to big wins in the singles, scoring 6/5 and 7/6 respectively. But then the tension kicked in: "We're fighting for our lives," said Niven after a look at the scoreboard, which showed BB&O trailing in three games and all square in one.
Former international Andrew Stracey (image © Leaderboard Photography) ended the agony when he grabbed a one-hole lead on the 16th and held on to it over the remaining two holes, despite plenty of excitement along the way.
"I got lucky after a dreadful tee shot on 17 which looked as though it was going out of bounds," said Stracey. He just managed to get his second up by the green before chipping and putting for his par – while his opponent played the hole in textbook style. On the 18th his opponent had a putt to halve the match but once it slipped by BB&O secured their point. David Cromie completed their scoreline when he managed to turn his game around and win 2/1.
Team captain Ashley Brewer commented: "This was another Titanic battle between Devon and BB&O, but played in a very friendly spirit. We got out of jail again and were very lucky!"
Lancashire won this title in 2014 but missed out on a place in last year's County Finals. They came back in style with today's unbeaten performance which began with three very comfortable foursomes wins, courtesy of Ian Crowther and Gary Byrne; Bill Bromilow and Robert Fox; and Tony Holt and Trevor Foster.
They went on to power through the singles, led by Crowther, also an England senior international, who scored their first point with his 2/1 win. "We were all square through nine and it could have gone either way, but I just managed to scramble through at the end," he said.
He was quickly followed by Foster who has just joined senior ranks after playing 108 times for the Lancashire men. "I'm loving it," he said after recording his 3/1 win. Byrne, Ian Westwell and Holt added their points to the tally before Worcestershire's Bryan Swain stopped the whitewash.
He finished birdie, par to win the last two holes against Alan Gillespie and grab a half point for his team. "I was determined to get that," he said afterwards.
Lancashire's manager Mike Gray said afterwards: "We're very pleased, the team has performed to all our expectations and we've achieved our first aim. But we will take each of the sessions as they come."
Tomorrow Lancashire play Devon while BB&O play Worcestershire.

A lot of little things are in the workings, I do not want to elaborate too much, but we have a few home studios up and one to get up and running, they all can produce radio friendly productions and most certainly quality demonstration productions. I think it is a good thing, because this last studio will help channel energy of the Underground Network into doing good things and giving them a chance to pursue their dreams in music. I think everyone deserves a second chance.
One of the best times of the year begins for you with today's new moon in Cancer, so make your plans big and believe – really, really believe – that you will accomplish great things. There is nothing you cannot do.
I have so many ideas circling around in my head on how to make this happen, as I have people I want to work with also, like this guy from my job can really sing. The main point of connection and collaboration will be on my sister's studio, which are two separate components and recording studio 24 tracks and a music production system configured into a computer, unlike mine's I have everything configured into a super PC.
There was rhythm to my reasoning, a recording studio workstation requires less maintenance and I know my time is limited, hell I prefer to make beats for them; me and my nephew Raymond combined have a few hundred beats already but I do not want anything to cause the studio to be down and a workstation properly used will require very little maintenance. If all they need is a beat to work with we can supply that for 25% of the writer's royalties.
On the screenplay front, as for the Apostle, there has to be two people to play me as I was young at the beginning. I think a good opener for Will Smith would be my nephew Anthony Williams; they have the same color eyes, unfortunately mine's are a little darker but brown as well with a black circle around them. The movie "Everybody has Demons" with Janet, Alicia and Beyonce would be a great setup for John Gotti Jr. and Anthony Williams in the Apostle. However the actual other leading role is my Stepfather Frank in the "Apostle." I think the "Apostle" will cost much more than "Everybody has Demons" to produce, because it takes you all over the Country and World and covers about 25 or 30 years of adventures and dramas.
I have been getting excellent reviews about the screenplay "Everybody Has Demons." I have been told such words as awesome and thumb's up. My sister Egeria is going to take over from here as far as seeking financers she has a good network. Any changes or additions to the screenplay have to be approved by me. I still think Denzel Washington is the best Director in the world and any actor or actress under him will be at their best, because I believe he will bring the best out of them. Janet and Alicia are written in stone for their parts I wrote it for them and Beyonce and Anthony I really want to give Anthony a break and Beyonce though it was written with her in mind, I think she may still have to be sold to the idea, also John Gotti Junior is in and I plan for him to play his father in the Apostle and honestly the best person to play me in the Apostle would be Will Smith. First let us get "Everybody has Demons," off the ground.
You have a talent for communication and if you use it wisely over the coming 12 months it will take you far. Remember though that it's not enough just to say something — what you say must be felt in the heart.
Others may be worried about their jobs and their incomes but you have faith in the essential goodness of the universe. Never forget that it's your mind that creates your world. Positive thoughts lead to positive outcomes — always.

How Much Does Peter Jurkin Transferring Hurt Indiana
Will one less player really hurt IU's frontcourt? Or is the damage already done?
By A R Holmes Jul 8, 2014, 5:00am CDT
Share All sharing options for: How Much Does Peter Jurkin Transferring Hurt Indiana
Jurkin spent most of his IU career still in warm-ups.
Pat Lovell-USA TODAY Sports
Last week, news broke that Tom Crean has lost yet another player to transfer, this time it is oft-injured C Peter Jurkin. Jurkin joins other 2014 IU transfers Luke Fischer (Marquette), Austin Etherington (Butler), Jeremy Hollowell (Georgia State), and walk-on Jonny Marlin (Indiana Wesleyan, NAIA Div. 2). The departure leaves the Hoosiers with just 7 returning players, and only 3 who averaged more than 10 minutes per game last season. Sophmore SF Troy Williams will be the only non-guard returnee with more than one start for IU. There will still be plenty of talent in Assembly Hall next season, but chemistry and experience might be hard to find.
Interestingly, if Jurkin hadn't left, the last two sentences in that paragraph could remain unchanged. The 7-footer has been plagued by injury throughout his career and had only played 2 minutes in B1G games and 18 minutes total for his career. In addition, comments from Tom Crean earlier in the offseason made it seem unlikely that the center from South Sudan would see much of the floor in the 2014-15 season. So it would seem the only thing Jurkin's transfer does for Indiana is eliminate any hope of a miraculous turnaround for his career in an IU jersey.
The 5 spot for next year's Hoosiers is still in the hands of a group of unproven players, except now there is one less guy in contention for playing time. Hanner Mosquera-Perea is now the only player over 6'8" on the Indiana roster who has played minutes for the cream and crimson. Regrettably, he is best known for his arrest prior to the Purdue game last season and has yet to play more than 15 minutes in a game for Coach Tom Crean. Mosquera-Perea's only competition for the center position looks to incoming freshman Tim Priller and Jeremiah April. Neither player was rated by ESPN or Scout, but April did receive a 3-star assessment from Rivals.
With 5-star recruit James Blackmon arriving and Yogi Ferrell returning, IU's backcourt will give them a chance to be towards the top of the conference leaderboard. Unfortunately, it could be the frontcourt that truly decides how their season goes, and with Jurkin leaving, the slim hopes of a reliable option surfacing in the middle have only gotten slimmer.

Q: How can I enable vertical split views in the Xcode IDE? I'm diving into iOS development and I'm using Xcode on a multi-monitor setup.
Obviously I want to take advantage of the multiple monitors to view and edit multiple panes of source code, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to enable vertical split views.  In other IDEs, it's just an option you click in the "Window" menu.
How do I enable vertical split views in Xcode?

A: This has changed in Xcode 12, maybe earlier. All my Option-Clicks go to open second view appearing below rather than size by side. The solution is to go to Views -> Change Editor Orientation

A: Xcode 4
Check out the options in the Navigate file menu item. I like Command+J. Also, while the Editor is active, i.e., you're editing code or your cursor is blinking in the Editor, press Command+Option+,. Or, you can Option-click (or Option+Shift-click) a file in the Navigator. Then, to make more room for editing, I like to press Command+0 to hide the Navigator and, if they're not already hidden, Command+Option+0 to hide the Utilities. Press Command+Enter to go back to the Standard Editor view.
Xcode 3
Hold down alt and click the little tiny box (with a horizontal line through it) in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen. It's underneath the tiny little lock icon.

A: Xcode 9 for those coming from a search engine:
Click and hold on the Assistant Editor button for an options menu. Choosing "Assistant Editors on Right" will cause the view to be split vertically.

A: respect to  mattdipasquale

*

*Command+J  --------Check out the options in the Navigate file menu item

*Command+Option+,------editing code or your cursor is blinking in the Editor

*Option-click (or Option+Shift-click)------open a file in the Navigator

*Command+Enter----------reset

A: Use the dropdown on the split icon to choose between different views

A: For Xcode 14 you just have to click this icon:

Q: Use dependency from boot file in other boot file in Quasar (vuejs) I am trying to use an instance of an object in a boot file where the instance is created in another boot file. The documentation [0] talks about using an object instance from a boot file and it works fine when using the instance in a component. I would like to access the instance in another boot file.
First boot file that creates the instance looks like this:
import { AuthService } from '../authorization/AuthService';

let oidc = null
export default ({ router, store, Vue }) => {
  const OIDC = new AuthService();
  router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
    const allowAnonymous = to.matched.some(record => record.meta.allowAnonymous)
    if (allowAnonymous) {
      next()
    } else {
      var isAuthenticated = OIDC.isAuthenticated()
      if (isAuthenticated) {
        next()
      } else {
        OIDC.signIn()
      }
    }
  })

  Vue.prototype.$oidc = OIDC
  oidc = OIDC
}

export { oidc }

And I am trying to use the oidc instance in another boot file like this:
import oidc from "boot/oidc-service"
import axios from 'axios'

let axiosInstance = null;
export default ({ app, router, store, Vue }) => {
    const AxiosInstance = axios.create({
      baseURL: window.env.BASE_URL
    })

    AxiosInstance.interceptors.request.use(function (config) {
      return oidc.getAccessToken().then(token => {
        config.headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${token}`

        return config
      })
    }, (error) => {
      return Promise.reject(error)
    })

    Vue.prototype.$axios = AxiosInstance
    axiosInstance = AxiosInstance
}

export { axiosInstance }

I import them in the following order:
    boot: [
      'oidc-service',
      'axios',
...

If I export the class instead of the instance, I can instantiate it and code works as expected. I would like for the oidc object to be a singleton however.
How can I use the instance of oidc in my axios setup?

A: Unless I'm missing something... if oidc is not null, return it, otherwise continue with the initialization:
import { AuthService } from '../authorization/AuthService';

let oidc = null
export default ({ router, store, Vue }) => {
    if(oidc !== null) return oidc;
    // else continue...
