Süddeutsche Zeitung's Frederik Obermaier discusses how the newspaper handled the explosive scoop.
For months, as they worked in secrecy to pull together a huge trove of leaked data from a Panamanian law firm, the investigative team at Süddeutsche Zeitung knew they had an explosive scoop.
Even so, the international reaction has been "far above what we expected," Frederik Obermaier, one of the German newspaper's investigative reporters, said.
Describe the source's initial approach to Süddeutsche Zeitung.
How did they reach out, by encrypted chat or email or what?
We offer several ways of contacting us — encrypted ways. Normal chat programs like Signal, Threema. We offer PGP, S/MIME. I hope you understand that we don't want to go into detail on which encrypted ways the initial approach was.
Some years ago we realized that for investigative journalists it would be irresponsible not to encrypt. Especially after the Snowden revelations, everybody, especially journalists, should be aware that it would be a bad idea if you do not offer ways of encrypted communication for your sources. Because it's a huge risk for us and especially our sources. If you look at the source of the Panama papers, this source is taking a tremendous risk. Look at the people that are uncovered now: We have friends of Vladimir Putin, members of the mafia, alleged financiers of terrorism, we have bagmen of several autocrats and kleptocrats. In this field of journalism, there is no way of doing this without encryption.
Why do you think the source chose to leak these documents through Süddeutsche Zeitung?
I'd rather not comment on that. We have to protect our source.
You don't know who the source is.
No. I don't know the name.
That's obviously unusual. Did not knowing their identity make you hesitate to use the material?
Yes. We're very very very cautious. Because, I mean, you never know who is behind something like that. We took dozens of measures to try to verify this material. In the end, we were sure that the material we are reporting on is authentic.
When you asked the source why they were doing it, they said it was to expose major crimes. Do you really think that was their motivation? Does it matter what the source's motivation was?
Yes, I really believe that. But we can't be sure, of course. For me, in the end, the motivation is not the major point. For me it's important that the material is valid, that we had the possibility to do cross-checks, that it's authentic and not falsified. For me it counts what's in this material, and not the motivation of the source.
At what point did the scale of what you'd been given become clear? Was it obvious right from the beginning?
In the beginning it was very fast. My colleague Bastian [Obermayer] and me realized right away that the material is amazing. But it took some time to realize how big it is and how many interesting stories and important stories to tell are hiding in this trove. I would say last summer was when we realized, "Wow, this is going to be a big cooperation of journalists around the world." That was the time we met our colleagues from around the world at the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists in Washington.
Could Süddeutsche Zeitung have handled something like this on its own?
I mean, that would've been a theoretical option. But at Süddeutsche Zeitung we really believe in the power of international cooperation. Because we all think that we're living in an era where everything is interconnected, every topic. Doing an investigation of this scale with a team of — we are a team of five people here — that would've been something for a lifetime, or ten years, or something like that. We have been part of the Offshore Leaks, the Swiss Leaks, the Lux Leaks projects of the ICIJ and we really believe in the idea of the ICIJ. For investigative reporters in the past it was not usual to share material, but these projects have shown already that we are always better in a huge group of journalists than doing it alone.
What have the last 48 hours been like?
The most crazy time of my life.
How much is still to come?
We are still at the beginning. I can say, at least at Süddeutsche Zeitung, we are planning some weeks of reporting new stuff.
Is there risk given the sheer scale and complexity of the information that the impact is lessened? I mean, there's just so much here for readers to get their heads around. Maybe that'll turn people off.
Yes, there is this risk. Look on day one for example, we reported on Putin's inner circle, Petro Poroshenko from Ukraine, the Icelandic Prime Minister, FIFA's ethics committee. Any one of those would've been a page one story in Süddeutsche Zeitung. But we had no choice. We realized there are so many great stories in this leak you can't do it one day after another because you would be reporting for months. You have to run the risk that there may be some people saying, "OK, after the Ukraine story, I do not want to read another investigative report in this newspaper." But that's how it is.
I'm pretty sure that it's not always the same audience. The people who read our FIFA story are not exactly the same people that read the Russia story.
If there's one thing you'd like readers to take away from your reporting, what would that be?
Personally, I would say this leak showed again that nobody who is hiding his wrongdoing in the offshore world can feel safe. Who knows which other whistleblowers are out there?
For us, we are a pretty big newspaper in Germany but on a global perspective we are a small newspaper. It was important to show potential whistleblowers out there that we are able to deal with this material, in a secure and responsible way, protecting our sources but at the same time being able to bring our investigations to the world.
You're part of a dwindling number of dedicated investigative teams in European newsrooms. In your view, is investigative journalism getting easier or harder?
If you look at media houses in Europe, I think nearly everyone is facing financial problems. But at the same time I'm really confident that investigative journalism, huge investigative stories like this, are a way of showing why people should pay for a newspaper, pay to use a website, to listen to a program. If we can show our audience that we're offering something special, that nobody else is offering, no other competitor in Germany is offering . . .
Readers are really aware of what amount of money such an investigation costs, of how many people are involved in such an investigation, and they're willing to pay for it. I think that's important because we're all speaking about how to finance journalism in future. For commercial media outlets like Süddeutsche Zeitung, it's important to explain to readers why they should pay for this newspaper. Investigations like Panama Papers are a major reason, in my opinion.


I'm looking for a guidebook or some other companion to Heidegger's "Being and Time". Ideally, I'd like to find a book that steps through the entire original work, providing summary and background to better understand Heidegger's more technical points throughout this work (no small task, I understand). A little about me - I have a BA in philosophy and quit a MA in the subject to move to computer science, and most of my philosophical background is in the analytic tradition.
Is this a decent guidebook? Are there any other recommendations? Thanks.
I just want to point out that there's two standard translations of Being & Time. One by Maquarrie & Robinson in 1962 and another by Joan Stambaugh in 1996. I found the translation by Joan much the clearer.
I also found Heidegger: A very short introduction very useful to set his thinking in context.

Without me, there wouldn't be any Paramount studio.
I just want to tell you all how happy I am to be back in the studio, making a picture again! You don't know how much I've missed all of you. And I promise you I'll never desert you again because after Salome we'll make another picture and another picture. You see, this is my life! It always will be! There's nothing else! Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark!… All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.

The costs of switching to green shipping fuel
The prohibitive expense of low-sulphur technology could lead to thousands more lorries clogging up the roads
18 June 2014 • 06:57 am

SIR – Despite moving 90 per cent of world trade, shipping emits just 2.7 per cent of global CO2. Greener ships are being built to reduce that figure further. Rightly, the UN's International Maritime Organisation has agreed measures to reduce sulphur emissions from ships. The EU, with our support, is implementing a directive to enshrine sulphur reduction in law. However, this legislation allows for no flexibility during the transition.
When European shipping shifts to low-sulphur fuel, costs will rise by up to 30 per cent for passengers and freight. The only alternative is to reduce sulphur by use of technology that is only just ready, and which could take two years to fit to all our ships. The EU's new regulations come into force in January 2015. Reports by many bodies, including the Government, state that switching to low-sulphur fuel could lead to the loss of 2,000 British jobs, thousands more lorries clogging our roads, 12 million tonnes of additional CO2 emitted each year and about £300 million a year in additional costs for shipping operators and customers. One route closure has already been announced.
We urge the Government to take action to prevent these damaging consequences by insisting that the EU allow pragmatic transitional arrangements, and support measures designed to lessen the economic impact on customers and operators.

Middle Eastern chaos
SIR – Events in Syria and Iraq could lead to severe turbulence within Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Afghanistan, particularly after the Isaf forces have departed from the latter country.
Far from winning a "War on Terror" or bringing peace and democracy to the Middle East, the Western intervention in Afghanistan and Iraq has only succeeded in opening Pandora's Box.
Cdr Carl Graham RN (retd)
Bishops Waltham, Hampshire
SIR – Legitimate states have a duty of care to each other. There is a strong case for British intervention in support of the Iraqi government against the insurgents – not only to stop the horrific murder of citizens, but to prevent a domino effect of militant rebellions across the Middle East.
John Barstow
Trees in hedgerows
SIR – Conservationists are warning that not enough trees are being planted in England. The response of the Government is to fund the planting of 2,000 hectares of woodland a year. There is another solution. There are estimated to be 250,000 miles of hedgerow in England. If landowners were required to allow trees to grow in these hedgerows, equivalent, say, to an average of one tree per 50 yards, how many forests would this equate to?
Edington, Somerset
Telephone torture
SIR – While renewing my motor insurance by telephone, there was a long wait accompanied by Louis Armstrong's "We have all the time in the world".
Was this a reassuring message or a deliberate act of provocation?
Christopher Binns
Greetland, West Yorkshire
Taxes and the rich
SIR – When the 50 per cent tax rate came in several years ago it was an economic blunder and caused a change in the mindset of the taxpayer ("Osborne wouldn't like to admit it, but the Tories are really milking the rich").
When rates were 40 per cent for income tax and a generous 18 per cent for capital gains tax, people seemed happy and the appetite for tax planning was low. Increasing income tax to 50 per cent pushed clients into tax mitigation strategies and the tax take went down.
Despite the criticism by Margaret Hodge, the Labour MP, HMRC is actually doing a fantastic job on a low budget. Its PR campaign is working, as are its tools to ensure people pay up. Now, thanks to information exchange and improved technology, tax avoiders in aggressive tax-planning strategies know it is a matter of when, and not if, they will be challenged.
The 45 per cent rate is harsh, but given the state that the country found itself in five years ago, fair. The appetite for tax mitigation is low again among the top 1 per cent of earners. The super-rich will often live in several countries, making taxation complex and uncertain.
I am not surprised the tax contribution from the top 1 per cent is up. While the Conservatives wanted HMRC to recover more revenue, they clearly did not know whether 45 per cent was the right number. With hindsight one can safely say that it is. A 40 per cent rate would get people really spending again, but we are not there yet.
Chichester, West Sussex
Putting the brakes on
SIR – What is the point of building safe, high-speed roads at vast expense, only to fine drivers for moving at high speeds?
It is a regrettable fact that accidents will still occur irrespective of the speed limit. At best, a limit alerts drivers to a change in circumstances. In central London, the average speed is nine mph and people still die in traffic accidents.
The only safe speed is stationary.
David Madgwick
The middle squeeze
SIR – Can anyone explain why the last people to take their places in a row of theatre seats are those in the middle?
This seems to apply both before the performance and after the interval.

Tackling church bats needs more than incense
SIR – I would be interested to know what methods Dr R C Newell (Letters, June 17) used to gauge the impact of her actions on the bat population of her church.
If, dependent upon the time of the year, there was a maternity roost located in the building, then any of the bats that she barred from re-entry might have been lactating females flying back to feed the one pup that they produce each year. This action would almost certainly have led to the pup's starvation.
As a voluntary bat worker and church-goer, I am keen to see bats and church congregations live together in harmony, but this cannot be achieved humanely through the methods suggested by Dr Newell. Control of the bat population is best left to the professionals.
Peter Cornish
Gainsborough, Lincolnshire
SIR – The parishioners of Manafon, near Welshpool, must clear layers of bat droppings before each service.
Professor Dr J D R Thomas
Gresford, Wrexham
SIR – Ian Matthews (Letters, June 17) says that bats in churches are "living in a habitat that was never intended or designed for them".
What was the Barn Owl called before we built the barns?
Robert Langford
SIR – Bats are not the only ones to desert churches after becoming incensed by members of the clergy.
Humans often do so for the same reason.

I can not savor it enough.
No matter how much I relish the moments with my baby boy Sly, my first born, the one that gets my full focus for most of the day, he still is growing up too quickly. I suppose he is growing up right on time actually, but it feels too quick most days for my soft mama-heart. He'll be 17 months old tomorrow. So before Sly hits that one-and-half-year mark, here's a little update on the toddler he's becoming.
We've got a runner, people. And a climber. Climbing in and out of chairs, reaching for things off the counter tops, and running down the driveway are all amongst Sly's favorite doings. I call him "The Great Collector" because he loves to fill baskets and buckets with his treasures, or Mama and Papa's treasure he is claiming for his own. Markers, books, water bottles, tinctures, and leaves are some of his favorite collectables. I opened up a kitchen cabinet last night to find a few pieces of kindling he had stashed in there. It's really cool to see him mimic our work with all this collecting. He especially loves bringing wood into the house for making fires. I let him carry small pieces and, happily, we've had no splitters yet!
There a lots of other words that he repeats after hearing us talk and he understands most of what we say. He follows simple directions: "Bring the book to Mama", "Go get your black shoes", "Let's walk up the hill". And there is LOTS of laughing! His personality is coming out so strong and he's learning what he can do just to get a reaction from people (like poking Papa's belly button, putting a scarf on his head, or chasing the dog).
Perhaps my 2 favorite developments are: he gives kisses and he dances to music. Even if I'm just singing the boy raises his arms and wiggles his fingers - this is his dance move. He kisses Mama, Papa, Stevie, his stuffed Lion, his friends, and he brings us things to kiss, too.
Our days are so fun right now! Exhausting? Oh, Yes! Demanding? Certainly. And so, so sweet. I can't savor it enough, but I'll try. This boy is growing before my eyes.
He's so beautiful! I'm so happy you're getting to spend your days watching him grow - what a blessing!

DISCLAIMER: This game was founded by iCro. I had got permission from him/her to remake a new one so, don't use hate force on me.
[FONT=Century Gothic]Gamble until you run out!
You start with 500$. You tell me if you wanna buy 1 box for 100$. Opening it will get you 1-200000$. Take risk, because it now can take money off your big pockets. Take caution and gamble! You can only open 20 boxes as maximum per post. Maximum boxes a day is 50 boxes.
You know mine... 5 boxes.
You can only open 15 gamble boxes per post ( reply ) and 40 boxes per day. If a player opens 15 gamble boxes in one post, he gets a 1 hour cooldown.
The chance of getting alot of $$$ is quite high dontcha think?
I cri, how long does the boxes need to be opened?
I'll buy 20 boxes. If you can't do that, I will just buy 10.
I'll buy 5 boxes then use all the money I gained and buy Boxes with all of it.
So tell me how much I got from 5 boxes and then open the maximum I can open.

This is the story of Tiffany and a teenager's loneliness
By Nedra Lucas, President/CEO
Tiffany's story is not new to many of you. However, as we enter Domestic Violence Awareness month, I thought that it was important to remind ourselves how critical it is to nurture the spirits and minds of our young women and adolescent youth. They need to know how beautiful, wondrous and worthy they truly are. Join me in revisiting "Tiffany's Story".
Tiffany does not feel isolated from her friends, but she feels trapped as though confined inside a solitary room. The door is locked, there is no one there to hear her cry, and no one speaks. Confusion swells inside her mind struggling desperately to release itself when she hears unfamiliar voices on the other side of the door. For a moment hope dawns, but each word is contradicted by the next. Tiffany's life is like that. She is no longer a child, but not yet an adult. She is experiencing the struggle of an adolescent for identity. She is actually searching for her own voice with which she can make her own decisions. But in this day and time her search appears to be in vain. There is not father present to guide her. Her mother is in the home, perhaps struggling herself and at times absent emotionally from Tiffany. Tiffany remains locked in her room – she is coping – she thinks.
You are the one who can help unlock the door for Tiffany. The Mission's Inspiring Girls' Hope – "Tea Time" program creates an environment in which encouraging dialogue can be shared with young women ages 13 to 17. The program reaches out to young females in an effort to reach them during the pivotal development stages wherein they transition to adulthood. The practice of an actual tea party is a westernized concept which began in Victorian England. Tea as a beverage has the capacity to refresh the mind and spirit, as it soothes the inner person.
Inspiring Girls' Hope is an opportunity for young females to take time out to …explore and discover and to learn from the significant older women in their family and the community. There is no reproach, no reprimand, no demand-just loving, and non-judgmental encouragement. The Inspiring Girls' Hope "Tea Time" program provides a venue through which supportive "sister-friend" relationships are created.
Please help us with this wondrous work by providing a tax deductible contribution to The Mission: Prevention Education Inspiring Girls Hope "Tea Time". Even a small donation will help. Tiffany is waiting.
You are far more extraordinary than you know
By Guest Contributor: Cathy McClelland
It seems that there are instances in life when the timing is so perfect that certain circumstances could not possibly occur by accident. A few weeks ago I had one of those instances. I recently encountered an entrepreneur that I had previously assisted, but had not seen in several years. We were both genuinely happy to see one another. To my surprise he stated, "I was just thinking of you today, and wondering how you handled the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur. I wanted to ask you what to do when there are so many challenges, and you want to give up." I gave him a great big hug, told him that I had just completed a book on that very topic, and shared the following message with him. Afterwards, this gentleman who has been an entrepreneur for many years told me it was exactly what he needed to hear.
This is what I said to him - I want you to know how incredibly extraordinary, not ordinary, but extraordinary you really are. According to science, your body contains an estimated – not a thousand, not a million, not a billion – but 37 trillion cells. It's incredible that our bodies contain an estimated 37 trillion cells that can totally renew themselves. That means without even thinking about it, our bodies are renewing and preparing us physically for the future. That is absolutely incredible, which means that you are both incredible and extraordinary. Just think about how extraordinary it is that you can cut or injure yourself and your body begins to immediately renew and heal itself. This says that you were lovingly created.
Once you embrace that you are a living breathing universe, in a sense, you will understand that just as your body can be renewed; you have the potential to truly renew, change and elevate your life, including this world that we live in. We have the strength to overcome life's challenges. We just need to be inspired to do so in an extraordinarily loving and compassionate way.
Wishing you the best on your journey to the "Extraordinary"!

National food supply may predict lifespan
A new global study from the University of Sydney has looked at how macronutrient supplies in different countries are associated with the risk of death at different ages.
The research was led by Dr Alistair Senior, a researcher in the Charles Perkins Centre and Faculty of Science at the University of Sydney.
"We found that the risk of death in early life is minimised where the supply is relatively high in fats and proteins – around 40 and 16 percent of energy, respectively," he says.
However, in later life, reducing the supply of energy from fats and substituting it for carbohydrates has the lowest mortality.
"It's a fascinating story, which reflects at the level of national food supplies the fact that macronutrient requirements change with age," Dr Senior says. "It's also likely to be of interest when considering the food security of nations, and how changes in supply might translate to patterns of mortality."
Japan has one of the world's highest life expectancies, and a diet rich in fish and plant-based foods.
Why macronutrients matter
Macronutrients are the primary source of energy in the foods we eat, and are categorised into three major groups: proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
The study found the total calorie supply per person associated with minimal mortality is relatively stable (around 3500 calories a day) with age, but the composition of calorie intake in terms of dietary proteins, fats and carbohydrates is not.
Before the age of 50, 40 to 45 percent of energy from each of fat and carbohydrates and 16 percent from protein minimises mortality. However, for later life, lower fat and protein supplies at 22 percent and 11 percent, respectively, and replacing these with carbohydrates is associated with the lowest rate of mortality.
"What was really neat was that we saw a clear shift in the supply that minimised mortality at above age 50, where it looked like a high carb supply becomes important," Dr Senior says.
The study also found that globally, under-nutrition is evident, even as recently as 2016. But in wealthy countries, the effects of over-nutrition are prominent, where high supplies – particularly from fats and carbs – are predicted to lead to high levels of mortality.

Q: Mac OS X 10.6 - How to copy files with logging? Is there a way to generate a log of copied files in OS X 10.6? Is there a Mac application that can copy files with logging?
Thanks

A: I'd use rsync -v. It's far more versatile than cp.

Jessica, Shylock's only child, elopes in Act 2 of The Merchant of Venice. While most would think that her father would be concerned about or angered by her absence and her marriage to a Christian, Shylock is instead furious that Jessica took his jewels with her. He sends his friend and fellow Jew Tubal to try to find Jessica as she and her new husband Lorenzo flit around Europe, but Tubal is always one step behind. In Act 3, Scene 1, when Tubal returns to Venice, he tells Shylock of the numerous rumors that he heard about Jessica and Lorenzo spending money and says," 'One of them showed me a ring that he had / of your daughter for a monkey' " (3.1.116-117).Shylock becomes even more enraged by this news because the ring is a turquoise one given to him by his deceased wife. Additionally, monkeys during Shakespeare's time were symbolically lustful; so in Shylock's eyes, his only child has taken a sentimental and precious item and traded it for a cheap, pagan animal.

IMF and US AFRICOM Plunder the African Continent
January 9, 2012 Rich Winkel	1 Comment
"On a recent trip to West Africa, the newly appointed managing director of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde ordered the governments of Nigeria, Guinea, Cameroon, Ghana and Chad to relinquish vital fuel subsidies. Much to the dismay of the population of these nations, the prices of fuel and transport have near tripled over night without notice, causing widespread violence on the streets of the Nigerian capital of Abuja and its economic center, Lagos. Much like the IMF induced riots in Indonesia during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, public discontent in Nigeria is channelled towards an incompetent and self-serving domestic elite, compliant to the interests of fraudulent foreign institutions.
"Although Nigeria holds the most proven oil reserves in Africa behind Libya, it's people are now expected to pay a fee closer to what the average American pays for the cost of fuel, an exorbitant sum in contrast to its regional neighbours. Alternatively, other oil producing nations such as Venezuela, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia offer their populations fuel for as little as $0.12 USD per gallon. While Lagos has one of Africa's highest concentration of billionaires, the vast majority of the population struggle daily on less than $2.00 USD. Amid a staggering 47% youth unemployment rate and thousands of annual deaths related to preventable diseases, the IMF has pulled the rug out from under a nation where safe drinking water is a luxury to around 80% of it's populace. …
"In the presence of US State Department Officials, employees from The Rand Corporation and Israeli military personnel, a military exercise was undertaken which tested how AFRICOM would respond to a disintegrating Nigeria on the verge of collapse amidst civil war. The scenario envisioned rebel factions vying for control of the Niger Delta oil fields (the source of one of America's top oil imports), which would potentially be secured by some 20,000 U.S. troops if a US-friendly coup failed to take place At a press conference at the House Armed Services Committee on March 13, 2008, AFRICOM Commander, General William Ward then went on to brazenly state the priority issue of America's growing dependence on African oil would be furthered by AFRICOM operating under the principle theatre-goal of "combating terrorism"."

Top 5 Worst Draft Mistakes in Portland Trail Blazers History
Every franchise in the NBA gets hit with the occasional draft misfortune bust that haunts them for years to come. Players such as Anthony Bennett, Darko Milicic and Kwame Brown are some of the most famous draft busts of all time, with their teams regretfully looking back at draft night decisions.
One franchise that particularly has plenty of overwhelmingly bad draft busts however is the Portland Trail Blazers. In recent years, they have found luck by getting All-Star point guard Damian Lillard in the 2012 NBA Draft. Unfortunately, it hasn't always been pretty for Portland. Here are the top 5 worst draft mistakes in Portland Trail Blazer history.
5. Barry Parkhill (1973 Draft)
In the 1973 draft, with the 15th overall pick, the Trail Blazers selected Barry Parkhill. This pick wasn't a great player, but the Trail Blazers fortunately didn't have to deal with him, because Parkhill chose to play in the ABA for the Virginia Squires instead of playing in Portland.
There were many players drafted after this pick, such as Swen Nater, who enjoyed a long NBA career. So not only were great players selected right after Parkhill and Portland's pick, but the Trail Blazers essentially wasted a pick. This was one of their many woeful draft mistakes in the 70's.
4. Wally Walker (1976 Draft)
Wally Walker was selected with the 5th overall pick by the Trail Blazers in the 1974 NBA Draft, only a year after the mistake that was Barry Parkhill. Walker is more known for being the CEO/President of the Seattle Supersonics rather than his short stint with the Trail Blazers.
He averaged only 5.1 points per game in 75 games for them across two seasons. Walker was selected over Hall of Famer and Celtics legend Robert Parish, who was selected with the 8th overall pick. Parish enjoyed a 21-year career in the NBA, and was part of 4 Celtics championship teams.
3. Greg Oden (2007 Draft)
Greg Oden will go down as one of the biggest draft busts in NBA history, which is really unfortunate to say.
Oden was selected 1st overall in the 2007 NBA Draft and had all the talent scouts looked for in a big man. Oden caught the injury bug early on in his career unfortunately and couldn't sustain a consistently healthy career.
Portland chose Oden over Texas product Kevin Durant, who has been very successful for the Thunder and Warriors up to this point in his career. Durant has won an MVP award and is one of the most dynamic scorers this game has ever seen.
A frontcourt pairing of Durant and Aldridge would've been ridiculously dominant offensively, and who would've known what the Trail Blazers could've done with those two on the roster.
2. LaRue Martin (1972 Draft)
A lot of people are probably wondering how Oden was only number 3 on this list. Those people don't know of LaRue Martin.
Martin was selected with the 1st overall pick in the 1972 NBA Draft, after receiving a lot of hype during his time at Loyola University Chicago, outplaying future teammate Bill Walton in a matchup against UCLA. He played 4 seasons with the Blazers and averaged 5.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. After 4 seasons, he suddenly retired after being outplayed constantly by Bill Walton, who was drafted two years after Martin.
The Trail Blazers sat on and watched helplessly as 2nd overall pick Bob McAdoo and 12th overall pick Julius Erving enjoyed themselves Hall of Fame careers. More often than not, you usually get a franchise player out of a number 1 overall pick, and unfortunately for the Trail Blazers, they passed up on two all-time greats for a player who had no impact at all for his franchise.
1. Sam Bowie (1984 Draft)
One of the most infamous draft busts of all time, of course Sam Bowie had to be number one on this list.
Bowie was selected 2nd overall in the 1984 draft in front of the G.O.A.T Michael Jordan. Bowie showed brief signs of great basketball, but couldn't seem to stay healthy enough while with the Trail Blazers, missing the entire 1987-88 season due to a leg injury.
He only played 139 games with the team and went on to have some above average seasons for the Nets, averaging 10.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game for his career.
The drafting of Sam Bowie is still one of the worst draft mistakes to this date because of the fact Michael Jeffrey Jordan was passed on, as well as future Hall of Famer Charles Barkley.

The Invisible Man (2020) – He's not dead. He's listening!
By Sushrut Gopesh
The Invisible Man is this quintessential old fashioned concept, brought in vogue by the novel of H.G Wells. Leigh Whannell has presented a contemporary version of the same concept through this 2020 thriller drama. Whannell is best known for co writing the scripts of films like Saw and the Insidious series, directed by his friend James Wan. I am particularly in awe of his 2007 film called "Dead Silence" that explores the sub genre of "folk horror." The director's well written earlier ventures assure us that he has a knack for creating the delicate fiber of suspense and keeping the audience at the edge of their seats. Also it is a mention-able fact that Whannell has not written the film through the standpoint of the invisible man but kept the perspective of the victim as his premise. The director was of the opinion that it would intensify the terror of a sociopath if it was to be explored through the wounds of the victim.
Cecilia Kass played by Elizabeth Moss, escapes from the house of her boyfriend . Her sister, played by Harriet Dyer, sets her up in the house of a common friend. It is then she finally opens up about the domestic abuse she had gone through, "among other things", as she puts it. The boyfriend played by Oliver Jackson Cohen is a world leader in the field of optics. Even after the news his death, Cecilia believes that he is stalking her by making use of a suit that makes him invisible, thus called as "The Invisible Man."
Cinematography and Background Score
The camera work and music are the two most eccentric components of a slasher horror film. The Invisible Man's cinematography done by Stephan Duscio and Daniel Grant, makes you feel like you are part of a psychological lucid dream. The excellent camera work knits the fabric of tension and suspense. It makes you feel that something is about to happen but at the same time never falls prey to the cliches. The DOP has abstained from taking those few patented shots that are part of every horror flick of this genre. The music too intensifies the sense of tension created by the screenplay. The music does tap on to the deep rooted anxiety and fear that the character is experiencing.
The Contemporized Perspective
Leigh Whannell has re-imaged the whole concept of this classic to suit the contemporary times. His versions presents a modern me-too analogy. The characterization of the invisible man feels very human as compared to the earlier Sci-Fi versions. Credit should be given for the same to the performance of Cecilia Moss. In a genre which requires the actors to emote through expressions more than words, Moss delivers a realistic and nuanced performance. As an audience i was craving to know more about the psyche of character of Adrian and was the cause of such an abusive relationship. But maybe that is just my bias towards films like Psycho and Silence of the Lambs, is speaking.
All in all Leigh Whannell presents a fresh take on a classic concept, that is worthy of our watch and it embraces the reality when Cecilia says,
"That's the sad reality. That's what money and power buy you-PEOPLE"
The Invisible Man written and directed by Leigh Whannell is a science fiction horror film that is loosely based on the novel of the same name. The film is available on VOD platform.

Top one is V5 ?
AJ they both look good to me although your pics are very dark. Any chance you can lighten them up? Your V5 seems to have the small circle on the top of the magazine, and the overall appearance seems sharp.
Your V4 looks to have the correct handle details, the triangle-shaped clip, and sharper detailed circle on the end of barrel.

BioAffinity Licenses Lung Cancer Test to Precision Pathology Services
As published in Genome Web's 360Dx
NEW YORK, NY – BioAffinity Technologies today said that it has inked a licensing agreement with Precision Pathology Services for the continued development and commercial sale of its CyPath Lung assay as a laboratory-developed test used for the diagnosis of early-stage lung cancer.
BioAffinity President and CEO Maria Zannes said that Precision Pathology will develop the test as an LDT for commercial sale by the first-quarter of 2019.
Precision Pathology will market the test nationwide to major hospitals and large pulmonary and internal medicine practices, and to rural and smaller medical centers and practices. It will also market CyPath Lung to clinicians and their patients to assist with diagnosis after a positive result from low dose computed tomography screening (LDCT).
Financial and other terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The test detects porphyrin molecules in sputum samples. Its technology preferentially binds to cancer cells collected in the samples and causes them to fluoresce in contrast to non-cancer cells. It uses flow cytometry to evaluate the sample for the presence of cancer and cancer-related cells that can indicate the presence of a malignant tumor.
LDCT has a high false-positive rate of 96.4 percent that can lead to invasive and expensive follow-up, including PET scans, bronchoscopy, and lung biopsy to confirm a lung cancer diagnosis, BioAffinity said. The CyPath Lung test can lower the number of unnecessary invasive procedures and improve the positive predictive value of lung cancer screening and diagnosis, it added.
BioAffinity noted that insurance reimbursement codes are available for use with CyPath Lung at a national CPT allowance of $380. The firm said that based on its own analysis, the test could save nearly $1 billion in healthcare costs for each 1 million people who undergo LDCT screening for lung cancer, assuming those with a positive result use CyPath Lung to confirm a diagnosis.

Attorney General has yet to read SIU report on Loku shooting — let alone make it public
A month after the Special Investigations Unit cleared the Toronto police officer who shot and killed Andrew Loku, the attorney general says she has not yet read the secret report that details how that decision was made.
Madeleine Meilleur said her chief of staff, Shane Gonsalves, has a copy and that she will obtain it and read it. But asked Monday if she could make the report public afterwards, she said: "You know what, I don't think so."

Die Morro Castle war ein Luxus-Kreuzfahrtschiff, auf dem bei der Rückfahrt des Schiffes von Havanna nach New York 1934 ein Feuer ausbrach, wobei das Schiff vollkommen zerstört wurde und 137 Menschen ihr Leben verloren. Das 1942 auf der Normandie, einem französischen Passagierschiff, bei Schweißarbeiten ausgebrochene Feuer kostete ein Menschenleben. Die Aufnahmen konzentrieren sich auf Brandbekämpfung und die Schwierigkeiten, das jeweilige Feuer in den Griff zu bekommen.

Produktion
Der Film, der sich aus alten Wochenschauaufnahmen zusammensetzt, ist demzufolge in Schwarzweiß. Am 30. Dezember 1950 wurde er erstmals aufgeführt.

Auszeichnungen
Robert Youngson war 1951 für den Oscar in der Kategorie Bester Kurzfilm (1 Filmrolle) nominiert, hatte jedoch das Nachsehen gegenüber Grandad of Races von Gordon Hollingshead.

Trump's Cynical Supreme Court 'Feminism' Will Dismantle Women's Rights

On Saturday, Empowerment Queen Donald Trump announced he plans on giving a gift to all women, but especially to the white women voters who have theoretically soured on his presidency: his Supreme Court nominee will be, you guessed it, a woman! When abortion rights–along with environmental protections and the Affordable Care Act–are further gutted, at least we'll know it was a Girl Boss who did it.
Trump made his promise during his rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina on Saturday night. "I will be putting forth a nominee next week. It will be a woman," Trump said to cheers, later adding that he has "numerous women on the list." "I actually like women much more than I like men," he said, which is perhaps a true statement if he's referring to the many women who have accused him of sexual assault.
The women who are supposedly on Trump's list are united by the fact that they are not Ted Cruz or Tom Cotton, but they still suck. Amy Coney Barrett, who is at the very top and whose policy agenda seems to be formed for the express purpose of diminishing women's rights, would happily take a shiv to whatever abortion protections we still have left. Barrett, too, has advocated for more due process for people accused of sexual assault on campuses, by asserting that men accused of campus sexual assault are discriminated against because they are men. Then there's Barbara Lagoa, a Federalist Society-linked appellate court judge who has evinced a particular disdain for voting rights, a higher minimum wage, and workers' ability to sue their employers–but who is a Latina from Florida who could possibly help tip the election Trump's way in the state. Allison Jones Rushing, a former clerk for Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas who once interned for the Alliance Defending Freedom, is also being considered, as are a host of other women who all seem terrible.
By promising to choose a woman, Trump is cynically using the gender identity of his pick as a shield from criticism that whoever he nominates will be very bad for women, not to mention workers and queer people, who are often, shockingly, women. But Trump has always viewed women as mere tools to further his own agenda. His Supreme Court pick is no different.

In my mind, the smartest thing to do would be to nominate Merrick Garland. It feels like the only thing that wouldn't lead to destruction.
His moderate record is made for this kind of thing. It's a win/win. (Or, at least not a total loss for one side or the other.)

Packers' Journey to the Playoffs
Posted on 12/24/2022 by Damon Sewell
The Packers' journey to the playoffs for all intents and purposes began a few weeks back and several times, it seemed dead. But this is not the truth anymore. The Green Bay Packers are alive. They aren't in control of their own destiny by any means, but they have a chance. Actually, they have three different paths they can take on their way to the playoffs:
The Best Path
The Almost Best Path
The Least Likely Path
By going over these scenarios, hopefully a Packers fan will know exactly who to root for in the coming weeks.
The Packers enter Week 16 with a 12% chance to make the playoffs, according to ESPN Analytics.
They're projected to 26% with a win Sunday at Miami and 1.5% with a loss — independent of other outcomes this week.
They will be eliminated with a loss AND a WASH win at SF.

The Best Path to the Playoffs
In this scenario, the Packers win out against the Dolphins, Vikings, and the Lions. The Washington Commanders lose out to the 49ers, Browns, and Cowboys. The NY Giants lose out to the Vikings, Colts, and the Eagles. The Seahawks lose just one to either the Chiefs, Jets, or the Rams. The Lions can just lose one in this scenario which will need to happen against the Packers. If the Lions lose more, then cool beans, but it isn't necessary.
Why is this the Best Path? This path is the most guaranteed route the Packers make the playoffs. The Giants and Commanders simply lose out. This also should give the Packers the 6th seed and not the 7th seed. This will allow the Packers to play Minnesota in the first round over the 49ers. This is a good thing because: One, the 49ers are going to end up with the 2nd seed and two, the Packers don't need to play the 49ers in the Wild Card Round. They would much rather play the Vikings.
The Almost Best Path is very much like The Best Path but the Giants don't lose out. This path is the most likely way the Packers make the playoffs. In this scenario, the Packers still win out but the Commanders lose just two games against two of the following three: 49ers, Browns, and Cowboys. This situation is likely because the Commanders are not playing well and they will be playing against probably the best team in the NFC right in the 49ers, a suddenly somewhat hot Browns team, and a Cowboys team looking like contenders.
The Cowboys might not have a ton to play for in Week 18, so make sure to root for the Cowboys to continue to win. Root for the Eagles to drop some to give the Cowboys a reason to play their starters in Week 18.
The Seahawks in this path to the playoffs need to lose just one game. Thankfully they are playing the Chiefs on Saturday.
This path to the playoffs allows the Packers to get into the tournament as the 7th seed. As previously mentioned, this will more than likely force them into a Wild Card matchup against the 49ers – though in a very unlikely situation they could be playing the Cowboys. But more than likely they will face the 49ers.

The Least Likely Path to the Playoffs
This path is the least likely path to the playoffs because it means the Packers lost one game to either the Dolphins or the Vikings. They cannot lose two games and in any scenario they have to win against the Lions in Week 18. If the Packers find themselves with a loss to the Dolphins or the Vikings, then they will need more help. This help can occur if the Commanders lose out. The Commanders cannot win another game if the Packers lose to the Dolphins or the Vikings. If they win just one game in this situation, then they eliminate the Packers.
The Least Likely Path has a divergence in it as well where the Packers path is even harder. If the Packers beat the Dolphins but lose to the Vikings, then they will need the Seahawks to not only lose two games but the Seahawks have to lose one of those two games to the Rams in Week 18. Even if the Seahawks lose both games to the Chiefs and Jets, they will still need to lose to the Rams because of NFC tie breakers as the Seahawks and Packers will both be 8-9.
If the Packers lose to the Dolphins and not the Vikings then the Seahawks will not have to lose to the Rams. They'll simply need to just lose two out of their remaining three games.
So Who Do Packers Fans Root For?
First things first, root for the Packers to win out. If they do this, then they will more than likely make the playoffs.
Week 16: Root for the Chiefs to beat the Seahawks, the Vikings to be the Giants, and the 49ers to beat the Commanders.
Week 17: Root for the Colts to beat the Giants, Jets to beat the Seahawks, and the Browns to beat the Commanders.
Week 18: Root for the Eagles to beat the Giants, Cowboys to beat the Commanders, and (if you randomly want to see the Lions and Packers make the playoffs) the Rams to beat the Seahawks.
So, the Packers have a chance. If they win out, their chances are great! If they lose one to either the Dolphins or Vikings, then it gets even harder (still possible). If they lose two or lose to the Lions in week 18 (assuming the Lions win out), then the Packers will officially be eliminated. They can be eliminated this weekend if the Packers lose to the Dolphins and the Commanders beat the 49ers.
Ultimately, just win.
