Rush Limbaugh on Race
Posted by Mr. S. Knabt in Rush Limbaugh, Satire, Talk radio
conservative populism, political satire, race baiting, Rush Limbaugh, talk radio
People don't believe me when I tell them that I once was true-red conservative. I voted party line Republican. One day back in the Dark Ages that were the 1990s a conservative friend suggested I listen to Rush Limbaugh. Since I worked during the day I couldn't listen to his radio show so I caught a couple of his short-lived syndicated TV episodes showing in the wee hours of the morning. Quite frankly, I was appalled by his populist demagoguery.
But what really was the last straw on the camel's back was Rush race-baiting during a particular episode. I can't recall much of the details but, I believe, his schtick centered around using monkeys at a drive-through zoo attacking tourists' cars as a metaphor for rioting blacks. During a subsequent show he proudly waved a small newspaper clipping of the NAACP demanding an apology. Of course, the NAACP's reaction was exactly what Rush was looking for. Gleefully he re-ran the clip. I think he did his usual routine of carefully parsing what he said with a wink and a nod to prove nothing he said was remotely racist.
True story and what started me down the road to liberalism. More accurately, I was washed down the road by a tidal wave of right-wing populism which endures to this very day.
Rush Limbaugh propelled to the top of the dung heap of conservative talk radio by taking on politically taboo subjects. I know several conservatives who listened intently to him in his early days because they were privately upset at minorities over affirmative action which they viewed as a serious career threat. Rush was their champion. He took the topic head on with a take-no-prisoners head of steam.
These memories and more flooded through my brain as I stumbled upon a cache of Media Matters clips of Rush Limbaugh's trademark race-baiting on his radio show. The folks I used to know who listened to his crap long ago tossed in their dittohead towels. I have no idea who listens to his vile vomit today but I suspect they'll be all around me at my polling station when I vote in 2012.
The only thing you'll learn from Rush Limbaugh is contempt which is why, in my own inadequate way, I feel compelled to mock Mr. Limbaugh with a little bit of my own satire. Jon Stewart remains secure in a job but I had to do it.

Q: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6 - Find the username First let me state that the mail server is working fine and users can connect and send email.
Basically there is a local web script connecting into the mail server trying to send mail every few minutes. It has the wrong password. Problem is we don't know what script is connecting in so we are looking for a way to get the username which is being tried.
UGFzc3dvcmQ6 - decodes to Password: so isn't much help. A full log line is below.
Dec 11 20:15:37 HOST postfix/smtpd[642]: warning: HOST[x.x.x.x]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6

Server is running Debian/Postfix/Dovecot.

A: If you have fail2ban installed you can enable sasl (or sometimes called postfix-sasl) in your jail.local (or jail.d) and that should make the annoyances go away.
## for me this is in /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/defaults-debian.conf
[postfix]
enabled = true

[postfix-sasl]
enabled = true

A: There are at least two ways of finding the user name(s) being tried.
Logging SMTP transactions with Postfix
If you know which host(s) your strange connections are coming from, you can enable verbose debugging for them by specifying a debug_peer_list in /etc/postfix/main.cf:
debug_peer_list = 192.0.2.1

This will yield, among other things, a message like this in syslog:
postfix/smtpd[123]: xsasl_dovecot_handle_reply: auth reply: FAIL?5?user=info

You will want to use this setting for very specific debugging only, since the full SMTP session is logged, including the password.
postfix/smtpd[123]: < unknown[192.0.2.1]: AUTH LOGIN
postfix/smtpd[123]: xsasl_dovecot_server_first: sasl_method LOGIN
postfix/smtpd[123]: xsasl_dovecot_handle_reply: auth reply: CONT?5?VXNlcm5hbWU6
postfix/smtpd[123]: > unknown[192.0.2.1]: 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6
postfix/smtpd[123]: < unknown[192.0.2.1]: aW5mbw==
postfix/smtpd[123]: xsasl_dovecot_handle_reply: auth reply: CONT?5?UGFzc3dvcmQ6
postfix/smtpd[123]: > unknown[192.0.2.1: 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6
postfix/smtpd[123]: < unknown[192.0.2.1]: Zm9vYmFy
postfix/smtpd[123]: xsasl_dovecot_handle_reply: auth reply: FAIL?5?user=info
postfix/smtpd[123]: warning: unknown[192.0.2.1]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6
postfix/smtpd[123]: > unknown[192.0.2.1]: 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6

In this example, a LOGIN attempt for user "info" has failed after the password "foobar" was presented. Like the challenges, you can decode the replies as base64:
$ echo aW5mbw== | echo $(base64 -d)
info
$ echo Zm9vYmFy | echo $(base64 -d)
foobar

Logging authentication with Dovecot
Postfix itself does not include a SASL implementation. Traditionally, it was hooked up to Cyrus SASL, but if you are using the Dovecot POP/IMAP server, Postfix can reuse its SASL module.
As you have found out, Dovecot has its own debugging facility, enabled with
auth_verbose = yes

in its config file, often /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf. The output in /var/log/dovecot-info.log will look something like this:
Jun 10 13:16:40 auth-worker(14936): Info: pam(info@example.com,192.0.2.1): pam_authenticate() failed: Authentication failure (password mismatch?)

While there is no host-based control here, there are a number of related options to control what gets logged, specifically whether or not to include the attempted passwords. From the example config:
# Log unsuccessful authentication attempts and the reasons why they failed.
auth_verbose = no

# In case of password mismatches, log the attempted password. Valid values are
# no, plain and sha1. sha1 can be useful for detecting brute force password
# attempts vs. user simply trying the same password over and over again.
auth_verbose_passwords = no

# Even more verbose logging for debugging purposes. Shows for example SQL
# queries.
auth_debug = no

# In case of password mismatches, log the passwords and used scheme so the
# problem can be debugged. Enabling this also enables auth_debug.
auth_debug_passwords = no

See also the Dovecot documentation for details.
About SMTP authentication
As you note, the string UGFzc3dvcmQ6 in the log message is the base64-encoding of "Password:". What Postfix is logging here is the particular authentication "challenge" that it has sent and received an erroneous reply for. There is also a preceding challenge for "Username:" (VXNlcm5hbWU6). However, even for nonexistent users, the failure will only be reported after the password.
The values of the challenge strings are actually unimportant and should be ignored. The first challenge is always for the user name, and the second is for the password. The details about this can be found in the specification for the LOGIN method.
NB: Since this is all a bit noodly for just transfering and checking the username-password pair, LOGIN is long obsoleted. The PLAIN method works essentially the same but packs both pieces of information into the same base64 string.
Finally, the fact that parts of this conversation are base64-encoded is actually a feature of SMTP Authentication in general. The idea is to easily allow arbitrary (possibly binary) data to be exchanged between the SASL modules of client and server, without those SASL modules needing to know or care about SMTP itself. You can get an idea of how SASL operates from the Cyrus SASL documentation.

A: We were able to trace the username by using Dovecot itself.
In the /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf config we enabled verbose auth logging using
auth_verbose = yes

This put the information in
/etc/dovecot/info.log

A: I was able to prevent this by setting up SSL and requiring auth attempts over SSL only with
smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes

This doesn't present the AUTH option to the remote client after EHLO and so the spammers/hackers give up because establishing a SSL connection is too much time. They work a numbers game. Now instead it hangs up when they try AUTH and I get this in my logs:
Jan  7 22:14:27 ip-99-99-99-99 postfix/smtpd[22274]: warning: 91.200.12.140: hostname vps863.hidehost.net verification failed: No address associated with hostname
Jan  7 22:14:27 ip-99-99-99-99 postfix/smtpd[22274]: connect from unknown[91.200.12.140]
Jan  7 22:14:27 ip-99-99-99-99 postfix/smtpd[22274]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[91.200.12.140]
Jan  7 22:14:27 ip-99-99-99-99 postfix/smtpd[22274]: disconnect from unknown[91.200.12.140]

Our Minnie's Meals program allows Dillas to partner with our Customers to make a BIG local impact without a big burden!
I've been blessed in my life. I have a great family that supported me and the community that we lived in. My mother and father were involved in multiple charities, supported and were proponents of the community pillars in our area. Since I was just a small child, I've been volunteering and have been instilled with the value of giving back. The previous companies I've been involved with helped foster these values and showed me the responsibility a business has to uplift the community that it is in.
These values are part of the culture at Dillas. We don't create budgets or restrict our ability to give back, we always return a percentage of sales back to the community, and as we increase sales, we increase giving. Every Team Member partners in this and their hard work at the restaurant helps fuel our ability to give back. I feel that is what's right and investing in our communities is one of the things that always pays off and is one of the things that makes working at Dillas special.
Hunger isn't only a worldwide issue, it affects our community as well. We want to recognize the local hunger needs in our community and help ease the burden where possible - after all, as a restaurant, we are in the business of feeding hungry people!
Staying active and having a balanced diet is critical to a community's health. While we can contribute to that with our healthy options on our menu, we also choose to support groups geared towards improving the health of our community.
Education is the cornerstone of great communities so we support schools and those who teach our children in any way we can.
The entrepreneurial spirit is strong at Dillas. We support our local chambers and school programs that encourage this spirit and help develop business minded individuals young and old.
Whether faith-based or other community centers, we want to help those that help and support others in our community. It could be something simple like a fundraiser or food for a meeting, but we're here to help others do well.

'Under-utilised': George Bailey touted for stunning promotion
George Bailey's expected appointment as a national selector while still a domestic cricketer has been backed by Usman Khawaja, who says those playing deserve a bigger say in the game.
Tasmanian veteran Bailey is a frontrunner for the vacancy - to serve alongside Trevor Hohns and Justin Langer - set to be filled as early as Tuesday.
The fact he's still contracted to and playing for Tasmania is understood not to be an issue for Cricket Australia and Queensland captain Khawaja said it was actually a good thing.
Fellow domestic veteran Michael Klinger is also in the running for the job, although the recently-retired batsman is also heavily linked to the vacant Melbourne Renegades coaching role.
Khawaja, who missed selection for the current two-Test series against Pakistan, hardly needed prompting when asked his thoughts on the arrangement.
"Like a current domestic player? Like George Bailey or something? I think there is always an option there," he said.
"There is no one more involved and more relevant in the game than people who are actually playing the game.
George Bailey, who is currently contracted to Tasmania, has been touted as a candidate to fill the vacant national selector spot alongside Trevor Hohns and Justin Langer. (Photo by Will Russell/Getty Images)
"Players are one of the biggest stakeholders, sometimes the most under-utilised and undervalued stakeholders in the game.
"It's always important to have someone who still has some skin in the game."
The endorsement comes after Australian captain Tim Paine revealed he conducted a mock interview with Bailey in the dressing room during a Sheffield Shield game.
New high performance boss Ben Oliver said they were "on the home stretch" to announcing the new selector, who would bring an extra consideration to white ball cricket.
He said national talent and pathway manager Graham Manou would continue to act as a conduit to ensure no emerging talent is lost in the domestic system.

Q: match against template template type parameter Say I would like to type-match any container with a specific member (a constraint) - but also bind type variables to both the container and the member. For example let T and U be the template type variables corresponding to class and member Someclass.member. Is this possible?
Let's simplify things by templating the container. This moves the member type into the type system as the template type parameter which allows removing the constraint. Now can I bind the type variables to both the template type and the template type parameter? For example let T and U be the template type variables corresponding to the templated container T<U>. Is this possible?
For example,
template <typename T>
struct S1 {
    T a;
    int b;
};

struct S2 {
    S1<int> a;
    S1<double> b;
};

void cb(auto*);

// Many things have been tried
template<T<U>>
template<template<typename U> typename T>
void caller(T<U>*, void (*)(U*));

template<S1<T>>
void caller(S1<T>*, void (*)(T*));

template<T>
void caller<S1<T>>(S1<T>*, void (*)(T*));

A: The caller's template list should be
template <typename T>
struct S1 {
  T a;
  int b;
};

void cb(auto*);

template<template<typename...> typename Temp, typename U>
void caller(Temp<U>*, void (*)(U*));

int main() {
  S1<int> a;
  caller(&a, cb);

  S1<double> b;
  caller(&b, cb);
}

Demo

A:
I want to pass an S1 pointer s1 and cb to caller such that the type of cb is inferred from the type of s1->a

Like this?
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>

template <typename T>
struct S1 {
    T a;
    int b;
};

template <typename T>
void caller(S1<T> *, void (*)(std::type_identity_t<T> *)) {}

int main()
{
    S1<int> s1;
    caller(&s1, [](int *){});
}

Here type_identity_t is needed to stop T from being deduced from the second argument, which confuses the compiler when passing a lambda.

Cruise News Royal Caribbean Royal Caribbean Dropping DreamWorks Experience on Cruise Ships
Royal Caribbean Dropping DreamWorks Experience on Cruise Ships
Cruise NewsRoyal Caribbean
Royal Caribbean has issued an update on their family programming and the cruise line will no longer offer the DreamWorks Experience on the nine cruise ships where the program is currently offered. This change goes into effect beginning with April 2019 sailings.
The DreamWorks ice skating show and DreamWorks AquaTheater show on Allure of the Seas will be replaced with family- friendly shows designed by the award- winning teams at Royal Caribbean Productions. The sail away party and Royal Promenade parade, on select ships, will be replaced with original parties and programming.
The cruise line posted the following message in regards to these upcoming changes:
"Royal Caribbean is always looking to the future and exploring new ways to exceed our guests' expectations. We've been conducting extensive research to better understand and anticipate what matters most to the families of today — and tomorrow. And in 2019, we're looking forward to delivering brand new experiences for families, kids and teens.
What began with new family features like glow-in-the-dark laser tag and the Sky Pad VR bungee trampoline experience on Mariner of the Seas and Independence of the Seas will continue to evolve as Navigator of the Seas is amplified in March 2019. And we're taking our family flagships to a whole new level when Oasis of the Seas gets amplified later in the year.
As we shift focus toward these new possibilities, the 9 ships that offer DreamWorks moments will no longer feature the program as of April 2019 sailings. We'll continue to offer countless ways for families to make unforgettable memories onboard. Including our complimentary, award-winning Adventure Ocean youth program with expansive facilities designed for each age group, plus teen programming in their own dedicated spaces.
Family-friendly thrills, like record-breaking water slides, FlowRider surf simulators, Splashaway Bay aqua parks, Royal Escape Rooms and more. Parades and shows across stage, ice, water and air. Plus the ultimate family vacation destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay, debuting May 2019."
The DreamWorks Experience is currently offered on the following nine cruise ships: Allure of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, Freedom of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas, Anthem of the Seas, Ovation of the Seas, Quantum of the Seas, and Voyager of the Seas.

Indian tribes accuse Caltrans of destroying history
By Dan Ashley
WILLITS, Calif. (KGO) -- Two Native American tribes are suing Caltrans claiming the agency knowingly destroyed important archaeological sites. This the latest blow to a troubled freeway project ABC7 News has been investigating for more than two years. The project is on Highway 101 in Mendocino County where Caltrans is building a bypass around the town of Willits.
The Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians and the Round Valley Indian tribe accuse Caltrans of wiping out their history during construction of the six-mile freeway. The road goes through a valley occupied by Native Americans for hundreds of years until white settlers drove them out in the 1800s.
The tribes are filing suit against Caltrans, the US Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. They claim Caltrans is illegally destroying historic and sacred Native American sites.
The tribes' attorney Phil Gregory said, "It's as if Caltrans decided to bulldoze through your church."
Caltrans claims it followed all legal requirements, searching for archaeological sites before construction started two years ago. But Gregory says Caltrans failed. "Once Caltrans started construction, it found over 30 sites and its clear Caltrans did not do a proper investigation, because there's no way Caltrans should have missed these 30 sites."
Caltrans has admitted to impacting one known site, but blamed it on a mapping error. Gregory says it was no accident. "Caltrans had trucks come in the dead of night and destroy that site without alerting the tribes in advance."
The $300 million freeway bypass is about 80 percent finished, but the tribes say as construction and environmental work continue, crews are still finding more artifacts. Gregory says he understands "Caltrans is finding areas that suggest not only human remains but gravesites."
Caltrans denies any findings that indicate possible human remains or graves. Caltrans spokesman Phil Frisbie told us by phone the agency has worked with the tribes in good faith. "We have been working closely with state and federal agencies throughout this project. We have not destroyed any villages or cultural areas on this project and we have been working diligently for the last almost two years with all three local tribes."
This freeway is scheduled to open sometime next year. The tribes plan to ask a judge to stop construction until Caltrans comes to a formal agreement about how to handle the archaeological findings.

Caltrans has also been working with a third tribe, the Sherwood Valley Band of Pomo. Sherwood Valley is not a party to the lawsuit, but issued a press release indicating major dissatisfaction with their talks with Caltrans. This is the release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- October 28, 2015, from Sherwood Valley Band of Pomo
Caltrans Stalls Finalization of Important Agreement related to Bypass
Willits, CA -- Sherwood Valley Band of Pomo is reporting that after 18 months of effort, Caltrans has indefinitely stalled, if not altogether abandoned, the finalization of a crucial agreement document related to the Willits Bypass Project.
From January -December 2014, Sherwood Valley worked closely with Caltrans to create a Programmatic Agreement (PA) that would mitigate the adverse effects to historic properties occurring within the footprint of the Bypass Project, as well as set forth protocols for how to best manage any new discoveries of cultural resources during Project construction. When new Project staff took over in 2015, substantial internal agency edits to a nearly complete PA began in earnest. According to the Tribe, District 3 staff has worked tirelessly to revise the PA in ways that have moved the document further and further away from an agreement that responsibly manages the historic properties in Little Lake Valley. Sherwood Valley also reports each of the five draft versions of the PA provided to them in 2015 has been substantially worse than its predecessor, leaving the Tribe without a document it can sign.
Sherwood Valley Band of Pomo's comments on the last version of a draft PA, which were provided to Caltrans on September 2, 2015, highlight the reasons for the Tribe's lack of concurrence and concern:
"Sherwood Valley Band of Pomo's Tribal Council cannot agree to or accept CT's July 2015 version of the [PA] because the execution of CT's proposals will:
appreciably and inappropriately limit the number of archaeological deposits across the WBP APE that will constitute a site qualifying for in-field NRHP-eligibility assessment;
significantly decrease the number of archaeological sites within the WBP that will meet the threshold for NRHP-eligible status;
replace necessary [i.e., legally mandated, professionally- and ethically-best] NRHP assessments and data recovery with cursory construction-based monitoring; and
drastically diminish, if not altogether divest CT of, CT's legal obligation to consult with federally-recognized Indian Tribes that are culturally affiliated with the lands encompassed by the WBP APE regarding inadvertent discoveries of archaeological resources made on the WBP.
Furthermore, agreeing to CT's proposed processes would create an exceedingly troublesome precedent for all California Indian Tribes with regard to one -- their legal rights to government-to-government consultation and two -- the legally compliant and culturally appropriate management of cultural resources on all current and forthcoming Caltrans-managed undertakings..."
According to the Tribe, this same communication included a request for Caltrans to contact the Tribe to bring the PA to finalization. A subsequent letter dated October 2, 2015 made a similar plea. The Tribe is now reporting that CT has not responded to either correspondence. Such reticence is deeply disturbing to Sherwood Valley. However, it has not altered the Tribe's resolve to continue its demands for the successful execution of a Project-based agreement, as evidenced by the following statement from Tribal Council:
"Sherwood Valley Band of Pomo's leadership has consulted in good faith with Caltrans regarding the Willits Bypass Project for over two years and acted in a trustworthy manner with unimpeachable integrity. We have tried to build consensus, attempting to understanding Caltrans' limitations while championing our unwavering goal of being responsible stewards to our aboriginal lands-the Little Lake Valley-and the natural and cultural resources that this landscape contains. Sherwood Valley has spent hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars in an attempt to create a PA that adequately manages resources of concern to our community and offers some restitution for the great harm inflicted upon Mitom Kai and its people, the Mitom Kai Poma and their descendants. It has been a grief-filled process, punctuated by disrespectful, subversive, and cavalier attitudes and acts on the part of Caltrans. We find this behavior particularly egregious given the fact that the Tribe has not attempted to delay or stop construction of the bypass, despite it being a project that has never been supported by Sherwood Valley. Rather, the Tribe has only asked for the State and its agents to merely comply with the letter and spirit of existing statutes, regulations, and directives while undertaking the Project-most notably Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and Presidential and Gubernatorial Executive Orders and Memoranda, as well as USDOT and CT policies, on the subject of Tribal consultation and environmental justice. The Tribe finds Caltrans' refusal to continue conducting the consultation required to finalize a mitigation-based agreement for the Willits Bypass Project unjustifiable and unacceptable. Despite the agency's recalcitrance and lack of integrity on this matter; however, Sherwood Valley will remain steadfast in our efforts to exact satisfactory mitigation for the adverse impacts to our community's resources within the Little Lake Valley. Our Tribe will not quietly or idly stand by and permit a failed PA to be yet another tragic outcome of the Willits Bypass Project."
Related to those efforts, Sherwood Valley says that they will continue to reach out to Caltrans, as well as other consulting parties on the Project-including the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Office of Historic Preservation, and the Federal Highways Administration-to finalize an agreement document that secures mitigation for those historic properties negatively impacted by the Bypass Project. The Tribe has also indicated that they will maintain an in-field monitoring presence and persist in advocating for more substantial and valuable archaeological investigations and more meaningful and transparent consultation moving forward.

Downtown consults business community over devolution
By Lancashire Business View
The Lancashire business community has given its support to the concept of devolved powers for the county, at an event run by business lobbying organisation, Downtown in Business.
Leader of Lancashire County Council, Jennifer Mein, addressed the 50 delegates at an event which was held at the McDonald Tickled Trout Hotel.
She thanked Downtown for bringing together business leaders and explained: "Lancashire is not the poor relation to Manchester or Liverpool, we are the third largest economy in the North and we are ready to state the case for being a driving force within the 'Northern Powerhouse'.
"Devolution is a negotiation and Lancashire County Council is currently in discussion with the two unitary authorities and 12 district authorities on which areas we want greater control of how the proposed combined authority might operate."
The delegates explored which areas should be included in the proposal to government via a series of workshops. There was universal support for devolution from business leaders who urged the inclusion of health and social care as a key area, as well as the supporting the priorities already identified including skills, transport, and economic development, housing and digital links.
They also cited the need for a strong, united business community that can take the new combined authority to task and stressed that the private sector should have a voice in proceedings.
Downtown chief executive, Frank McKenna said: "This is about making better use of our resources and creating a model that works for Lancashire. I know there is concern about our local authorities working together but we are engaging with business communities across the country via the Downtown network and many places are experiencing similar challenges.
"We wanted to provide the view of SMEs to our local political leaders ahead of the crunch meeting on September 1st so they can be considered as the discussion about devolution continues. "It was great that Jennifer attended the event and got to listen to the feedback personally, and we shall be submitting a paper which summarises the views of those who attended the session. It's a very exciting time for Lancashire and if we get devolution right it could make our region more prosperous by directing and maximising resources, something which will benefit us all."

Kendricks on Restructuring Contract: 'I'm Just Trying to Help the Team'
MINNEAPOLIS – Eric Kendricks is a team player.
The Vikings announced Tuesday that Kendricks has restructured his contract, which allowed the team to sign first-round draft pick Garrett Bradbury to his rookie deal.
Kendricks joined several Vikings teammates at Target Field for batting practice prior to Tuesday night's Twins-Angels game. While there, he spoke to Twin Cities media members and spoke about his decision.
The linebacker said it wasn't a difficult one.
"That's what everybody's doing, man," Kendricks said. "I'm just trying to help the team."
In four years with the Vikings, Kendricks has led the team in tackles each season. In 2018, he totaled 122 tackles (coaches' tally), 1.0 sack, 5.0 tackles for loss, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and seven passes defensed. He also hauled in a career-high two interceptions.
Kendricks' restructure came just over a year after he signed a five-year extension with the team that drafted him 45th overall in 2015. The move occurred two months to the day since the Vikings announced that Everson Griffen had re-worked his deal and Anthony Barr, Kendricks' longtime friend and former teammate and roommate at UCLA, re-signed with the Vikings for less money than the Jets offered him.
Kendricks' willingness to restructure helped Minnesota's tight salary cap situation, but he'll leave the business talk to someone else.
"I don't know [anything about the cap]; I play ball, and I help the team," he said.
"You can go around the locker room. Everybody wants to be on this team, everybody wants to play. It's no secret," Kendricks said. "We just gotta go out and get it done now."


After a decade of waiting, Jean Nouvel's 53 West 53rd Street, formerly known as the Torre Verre and now known as 53W53, is finally climbing into the New York City skyline. And while the tower only stands about a dozen floors at the moment — up from only a handful when YIMBY last checked in on the site this past June — installation of its iconic cladding and glass has already begun, with the latest update thanks to YIMBY Forumer streetscaper.
For those unfamiliar, the building was initially proposed all the way back in 2006 at 1,250′ in height, before then-City Planning commissioner Amanda Burden deemed the height offensive (at that time, the Empire State Building was the only tower on the island with a roof exceeding 1,000′) and chopped off the top 200 feet.
While the intricacies of ULURP may have doomed the tower's uppermost potential, the approved version will still stand 1,050 feet to its roof, with 77 floors in all. That will barely be enough to make it into the city's ten-tallest list once the supertall is complete in 2018, and by the 2020s, the Midtown skyscraper thicket will be so dense that Torre Verre's overall impact on the skyline will be quite small.
The superstructure has been rising at the rate of about three floors per month, and the cladding, which was first spotted back at the end of September, has since spread across much of the lower floors. The facade will be truly unique, though that may prove problematic, as early shots from inside the building show that diagonals are highly obstructive to some views.
In any case, the structure is now climbing into the purely residential portion, after passing the more complicated lower floorplates, which will also house the Museum of Modern Art's expansion. That means it should also begin rising a bit faster, though the complicated exterior will likely prevent the lightning speed seen at projects with more standardized layouts.
Hines is developing the tower alongside Goldman Sachs and Pontiac Land Group, and topping out is still likely over a year away.
For the latest looking up and down on construction, I have thought it is exciting at a distance.

Mudarabah, like Musharakah is also a kind of partnership, whereby one partner provides finance to the other for investing in a commercial enterprise. The profits generated are shared in a predetermined ratio. Thus, a Muradabah arrangement looks very much like an equity investment by a shareholder in a public listed company. In fact, Islamic banks consider Mudarabah financing to be the equivalent of equity financing.
This publication provides a general overview on the Mudarabah structure of finance.
In a restricted Mudarabah, also known as the (Al-Mudarabah-al-Muqayyaddah), the Rab-ul-Mal, also known as the investor may specify a particular business for the Mudarib ( manager), in which case he shall invest the money in that specified business only.
In an unrestricted Mudarabah, also known as the Al-Mudarabah-al-Mutlaqh, if the Rab-ul-Mal leaves it open for the Mudarib to undertake whatever business he wishes, the Mudarib shall be authorized to invest the money in any business he wishes.
The Mudarib acts as a Trustee (Ameen), who is responsible to look after the investment, with an exception of natural calamities.
The Mudarib acts as an agent (Wakeel), as he makes the purchases from the funds provided.
The Mudarib acts as a partner (Shareek), thus sharing the profits with Rab ul Mal.
The Mudarib also acts as a possible liable (a Zamin), and thus will have to compensate for any loss suffered during the course of Mudarabah, due to any erroneous act on his part.
The Mudarib also acts as an employee (Ajeer) who is entitled to receive a fee is the Mudarabh becomes void.
Capital is the principal element of Mudarabah forming the substance of the contract. It shall be contributed by the Rab–ul-Mal only. The capital may be in the form of monetary or non-monetary assets and shall be managed by the partner to generate income. Debts such as account receivables or loans due to a capital provider do not qualify as capital of Mudarabah.
The agreed capital shall be made available to the manager to commence the business activities. The capital may be fully or partially disbursed or made available to the manager at the time of conclusion of the contract and based on terms of the contract. Failure to provide capital by the capital provider as per the agreed schedule shall constitute a breach of promise according to specified terms and conditions of the contract.
All work and activities undertaken by the manager in relation to the Mudarabah capital shall be Shariah-compliant. The manager shall have the exclusive right to manage the Mudarabah venture. The capital provider shall be precluded from managing the venture. However, the capital provider has the right to information regarding the conduct of the manager. The manager shall not be liable for any loss of capital unless such loss is due to the loss manager's negligence, dishonesty, misconduct or breach of terms of the contract.
The manager enters into Mudarabah seeking his share of profits, thus this integral part of the contract must be known, otherwise the contract would be rendered defective. If the Mudarabah contract is concluded without specifying the manager ratios in profits then the default ruling is that they divide profits between them equally.
The profit sharing ratio shall be determined at the time of the conclusion of contract and may be revised from time to time during the contract subject to mutual agreement. It is not permissible to include a condition in Mudarabahah contract that stipulates a pre- determined fixed amount of profit to one partner which deprives the profit share of the other partner.
If all assets of the Mudarabah are in cash form at the time of termination, and some profit has been earned on the principal amount, it shall be distributed between the parties according to the agreed ratio.
If the assets of the Mudarabah are not in cash form, they will be sold and liquidated so that the actual profit may be determined.
If there is a profit upon the terminiation, then it hsall be distributed between the Rabul mal and Mudarib. If there is no profit left, then the Mudarib shall not get anything.
Mudarabahah operating loss which is measured during the operating period may be offset against prior or future profits.
In case of operational capital loss due to decline in market prices sales of goods by Mudarabah venture is much lower than the cost of purchase. As a result the asset value decreases with given amount of outstanding liability and Mudarabah capital. Hence the Mudarabah venture reports a loss for the net decrease in capital. Mudarib decides to offset the loss against undistributed profit for the previous period.
The manager may not undertake to bear the loss. However, the manager may bear the loss at the time the loss is realized without any prior condition or undertaking. A third party may undertake to bear the loss of capital due to misconduct or negligence on the part of the manager. The capital provider may take collateral from the Mudarib, provided that the collateral could only be liquidated in the event of negligence or misconduct or violation of term of contract by the Mudarib.
Unilateral termination of by any of the parties when the Mudarabah does not constitute a binding Mudarabah.
Mutual agreement to terminate between the parties.
The contract expires as at the maturity date agreed by the parties.
The impairment of the Mudarabah fund does not favour the continuity of the venture.
The demise of the manager or the liquidation of the managing institution.
The existence of the one of the conditions that would consequently render a Mudarabah contract invalid. In this case, the Mudarib is deemed as the worker/agent who deserves fair and reasonable wages or fees only.

 The Concept of Mudarabah, Dr.Muhammad Zubair Usmani.


A stop at a restaurant can just be an opportunity to refuel for more exploring, but there are those times when it turns into something special. Our visit to Casey's Cowtown Club, in Dodge City, Kansas was one of those special occasions. From the outside it looks like a restaurant one might find along Route 66, but the exterior hides the fascinating interior. While Casey's is known as a steakhouse, (This is the cattle capital, after all!) we dropped in for their breakfast, which was highly rated.
We want to thank the Dodge City CVB and Casey's Cowtown for their hospitality. Rest assured that all opinions are our own.
Stepping through the front door we were greeted by an unexpected view. Dodge City is clearly a town you would expect to find western motifs, but a blue jean covered bison caught us off guard. It set the tone for what would be one of the most interesting restaurant visits we have had. The hostess welcomed us and led us into one of the many dining rooms located inside the building. Once again, we realized the exterior understated the massive spread that this place covers. Later we would discover even more about that subject.
Once we were seated, we had a better chance to scope out our surroundings. The more we craned our necks, the more we discovered. The walls seemed to be almost completely covered with unique artwork. Here and there were displays of beautiful stained glass that glowed in the morning light. The realization that this establishment has some years under its belt became quite apparent. Little did we know the depth of history associated with Casey's Cowtown Club. This too would change!
Our server brought us two cups of liquid gold, (Coffee, y'all!) while we scanned the menu. Casey's has your standard breakfast offerings, which provide all of the needs for our upcoming morning of discovery. After placing our orders, we were joined by Mike Casey, the owner of the restaurant. I had spoken previously with Mike (by phone) and had hoped we would have a chance for a face-to-face. When we were seated, he was busy chatting with some of the other customers, who were obviously locals. As a matter of fact, it seemed like we were one of the few in the place that weren't from the surrounding region. Mike sat down and we began talking like long lost friends.
Mike ordered himself a plate and soon we were all dining and discussing the history of Dodge City. We learned more at this morning meal than in all of the time I spent researching our visit. Mike invited me to test out his restaurant's specialty, and soon a hot plate of calf fries were perched in front of me. Once again Crystal declined the chance, but I found these to be some of the best I have sampled. With freshly filled cups of coffee in hand, Mike invited us on a tour of his restaurant.
As we passed from room to room, we found two common themes. First, everyone knew and greeted Mike, and he returned their greetings with down home gratitude. Secondly, Mike was proud of the massive collection of art and memorabilia he has amassed. We can completely understand his pride, as so many of the pieces clearly hold fond memories. As we moved through the building, it just seemed to keep going and going. Everywhere we passed was filled with amazing pieces of art, as well as tons of stained glass. He told us how he loves to rescue these pieces when he finds that they are threatened with destruction. What may look like an eclectic collection to some is truly a labor of love for Mike Casey. This is certainly a place you need to see when you visit Dodge City. Just be sure to ask for Mike when you drop in. He just might take you on a tour!

USA. Rutherford Storm prepared with Fiorentino Para-Anchor & Shark Drogue
Fiorentino Para-Anchor of Newport Beach, Ca, market-leading provider of storm surviving drag devices announces solo sailor Matt Rutherford of Annapolis, Md, who completed a solo non-stop 309-day circumnavigation of the Americas in 2012 and the first person to do so, has embarked on a 6,500 nautical mile Atlantic Ocean environmental mission to survey Atlantic "Garbage Patches" and carries aboard a Fiorentino Para-Anchor and Shark Drogue Set-up. The company joined as a sponsor with the equipment. Other sponsors include the well known Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating (CRAB) for physically challenged sailors that Rutherford and Fiorentino have long supported.
For this journey he pilots a "floating scientific research station" -- a 1990 Tom Colvin-designed 42' steel hulled sailboat AULT named after his grandfather's WWII service on the USS AULT. He is accompanied on the estimated 75-day trip including within fifty miles of the Azores and Bermuda dragging nets to sample debris and filming documentary footage by Nicole Trenholm, Program Director/Field Operations Scientist for the non-profit Ocean Research Project which Rutherford formed for this and future scientific and environmental observational and data collection projects. Previously educated in the geosciences and a NOAA Office Coast Survey Technician with contractor Earth Resources Technology, she has considerable experience in hydrographic surveys and "a genuine interest in exploring the marine geologic environment." A five-month Arctic/Northwest passage trip will include the Mercy Bay area is planned as a possibility for 2014. Both agree that technology has advanced to conduct these surveys with smaller vessels and crew and considerably more economically than in the past.
The term "garbage patches" as they are often referred to are, according to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), areas of marine debris concentrations mostly of small bits of floatable plastics, (though there are other associated objects like metal barrels, derelict fishing nets and the like.). While it remains difficult for scientists to predict exact locations, content and size in the world's oceans, it has not stopped the labor-intensive and expensive collection of samples when opportunities arise despite changes in movement, sometimes daily, the agency explains.
Nonetheless, the effort continues guided by huge "gyres" (defined as a large scale circular feature made up of ocean currents that spiral around a central point, clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, counterclockwise in the Southern.). There are five subtropical oceanic "gyres." In the Atlantic there exists a North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre made up of four major currents –North Equatorial, Gulf Stream, North Atlantic and Canary Current.)
Scientists and civilian ocean conservationist organizations will pursue the mission of conducting a Sargasso Sea marine debris reconnaissance survey for example to add to global understanding says NOAA, of the quantity of marine debris in the gyre and to bring awareness to the problem which Ocean Research Project organization may reveal a significant concentration of high acidic marine water that could jeopardize the likelihood of critical marine life."
The Atlantic Ocean survey aboard the R/V AULT has three objectives, according to Rutherford and Trenholm. One is to conduct a Sargasso Sea marine pollution survey through a debris reconnaissance survey and post toxicology study to add to the global understanding of the quantity of marine debris and its consequences. Second, to collect detection files of monitored marine life within the Sargasso Gyre to provide to Dalhousie University's Ocean Tracking Network for scientists to monitor migratory routes of tagged species. Third, the research vessel will act as a mobile reporting platform of atmospheric and oceanic observations to NOAA and feed information into international modeling databases which depict global weather forecasts and climate studies to support mariner safety at sea as a Voluntary Observing Ship, plus made accessible to the Atlantic Ocean and Meteorological Laboratory and to multiple open source portals. Film footage they will shoot of their activities will be produced as an educational documentary of the survey project.
During the expedition Rutherford says he expects to do his best to avoid heavy weather. "I'm not looking for any more storm experiences but I'm sure I'll be in plenty of them. When you stay out there long enough storms are inevitable." He is confident when they happen he'll be storm prepared. Rutherford decided to equip the vessel with a Fiorentino Para-Anchor and Shark Storm drogue after sitting in on one of Zack Smith's "Constant Rode Tension" seminars at the Annapolis Boat Show. "I listened to Zack, and Zack sat in on one of mine….since both of us have storms on our brains, it didn't take either one of us long to strike up a conversation about them, " he explains, "and I was thrilled when Zack agreed to offer me a Fiorentino offshore anchor and a Shark Storm Drogue."
Rutherford said he wants to use a head-to-wind position with his para-anchor if crew become too tired or gets into trouble. Smith agreed it would be fine, but that it was important to maintain "constant force" on the rode by either deploying: Shorter rode lengths, placing some chain next to the para-anchor, or by "flying a riding sail like a kite" from the back of the boat. Smith also suggested kicking the "engine in reverse" if Rutherford didn't feel like deploying a riding sail. The solutions presented by Smith are all designed to reduce yawing that can overload equipment. Typically, Fiorentino suggests using a 12' para-anchor for a 42' sailboat, but due to Rutherford's boat design and the head-to-wind position, a 16 footer was better since it grabs additional water to place extra force on the anchor rode.

Meet Inventor Creyta and her Companions!
Conductors aren't the only people that the Patrons finance with the intention of bettering their cities. Patron Ravamani has encouraged a new enterprise to start up in Vell's End, something unheard of anywhere else in Kemah Karah! While she considers these oddities her pet project, Inventor Cretya takes her work very seriously!
She had learned how to manipulate a special force she discovered in Panaway Jungle using the skills of an old friend, a powerful Gas Conductor.
Between the two of them, Creyta was able to fashion her first Construct. After moving to Vell's End, getting help from Ravamani, and making some new friends, her Constructs were able to evolve and help her plan for new ones.
Roog'og is her third Construct, and a little rascal at that! He especially loves visiting Ravamani, even if the lovely cow Patron isn't so pleased about it.
The special force she used in his creation was originally very frisky and excitable; containing it required the skill of not only her Conductor friend, but also her mechanically-inclined lover, Mechanic Deeka -- to be revealed tomorrow!
New meaning to "a monkey on your back."
Creyta is beautiful and i love the henna work on Patron Ravamani. Roog'og looks like he's quite a handful. Hope that doesn't turn out badly.
I'm glad to see more skunks... Sorta have a thing for them. And Kaia took the words out of my mouth regarding the origins of constructs.
Wonderful art, can�t wait to see more as usual!
Interesting lady! Looking forward to finding out more about her!
Creyta looks odd with that headpiece.
She's a spotted skunk, good eye!
So this must be the origins of Algurin's many constructs. Fascinating.
Also, what is Creyta? Spotted Skunk? Honey Badger?

Does your little one suffer from bed-wetting? Have you tried every solution you know of like waking them up frequently, plastic sheets, mattress protector, decreasing liquid intake in the evenings, but to no avail? Have you ever considered chiropractic care?
Bed-wetting typically affects more boys than girls and can be categorized into either a persistent type or a regressive type. The persistent type describes a child that has never been dry at night. The regressive type is a child that was previously dry at night but is now beginning to wet the bed.
In many cases, the child's inability to coordinate their bladder function stems from a misalignment in the tailbone (sacrum). Nerves that pass through these segments become pinched and the brain is unable to tell the bladder when to empty or stay full. A simple, and gently chiropractic adjustment to the tailbone, lower back and sometimes the upper neck can have great results when treating a child with bed-wetting issues. Children typically respond incredibly well and can now focus on dry nights and can continue with a positive mindset.
If your child is struggling with wet nights, don't hesitate to bring them in to see the Chiropractic Physicians at Pro Chiropractic in Belgrade and Bozeman, Montana! You'll be amazed at the results that can be achieved NATURALLY and GENTLY! Your child, (and you) will look forward to many more dry nights!

America Makes Supports Makerbot in its Mission to put a Desktop 3D Printer in Every School in America
MakerBot Announces the Formation of The MakerBot Academy:
3D Printers, supplies and Curriculum for Schools
Youngstown, Ohio — November 12, 2013. America Makes, the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute, driven by the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM), proudly supports MakerBot and its mission: to put a Desktop 3D Printer in every school in America.
This initiative is a unique partnership between MakerBot, DonorsChoose.org, America Makes, and Autodesk, and was a response to a call to action by the President of the United States. In his recent State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama announced a new initiative to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. He affirmed, "3D printing has the potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything. We must ensure that the Next Industrial Revolution in manufacturing will happen in America. We can get that done."
MakerBot was inspired by the President's commitment to keep America at the forefront of the Next Industrial Revolution and is eager to do its part to educate today's students, who are the next generation of innovative makers, engineers, product designers, architects, and artists, who could benefit from having 3D printing technology in the classroom.
"As a former teacher, I believe strongly in creating a new model for innovation. A MakerBot is a manufacturing education in a box," said Bre Pettis, CEO of MakerBot. "We need to encourage our teachers and our youth to think differently about manufacturing and innovation. When you have a MakerBot Desktop 3D Printer, you see the world differently. Instead of waiting for someone to create a product for you, you can create your own. It can change the whole paradigm of how our children will see innovation and manufacturing in America."
To bring manufacturing back to America, students of today must be exposed to and experienced in advanced manufacturing tools that can assist them in securing engineering, architecture, product design and manufacturing jobs tomorrow. To do that, they must have access to these tools that can help take their education to a new level and empower them to think differently about the world and manufacturing. MakerBot sees this as an opportunity to bring 3D printing into our schools and classrooms.
Ralph Resnick, Founding Director of America Makes concurred, "We need to nurture the minds of America's youth today, in order to create a strong workforce for tomorrow. This is a key tenet of America Makes— the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute, so when Bre approached us with this opportunity, we were eager to show our full support. When America Makes, America Works."
Of the initiative, Tom Kalil, deputy director for Technology and Innovation, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy stated, "We are thrilled that MakerBot and America Makes are joining a growing coalition of citizens working to give American students the ability to design and make almost anything. As the President has said, we all need to think creatively about giving our young people the tools to be 'the makers of things, and not just the consumers of things.'"
Beginning November 12, 2013, individuals and corporations interested in helping get MakerBot Desktop 3D Printers in schools can visit DonorsChoose.org, a crowdfunding site just for teachers, and pledge to financially support the program. Teachers then register on DonorsChoose.org for a MakerBot Academy bundle. MakerBot is contributing its own resources to launch this education initiative, along with key partners. Bre Pettis, CEO of MakerBot, has personally pledged to put a MakerBot® Replicator® 2 Desktop 3D Printer in public high schools in MakerBot's hometown of Brooklyn, N.Y. In addition, Ralph Crump, original inventor of FDM 3D printing technology and founder of Stratasys, has pledged his support.
Pettis encourages everyone to join MakerBot and its partners in this effort at an individual or corporate level to help move America's students to the forefront of technology and global competitiveness.
"To get this done, we are going to have to do it together," said Pettis.
Each MakerBot Academy bundle contains a MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer, three spools of MakerBot® PLA Filament, and a full year of the MakerBot MakerCare™ Service and Protection Plan. MakerBot will also support the teachers with the development of ongoing 3D printing curriculum that teachers can participate in and utilize in the classroom. MakerBot will leverage Autodesk's software and educator curriculum as well.
"Autodesk signed on as a key partner in the MakerBot Academy initiative because helping students unlock their creativity and prepare for future careers is a core part of our mission," said Samir Hanna, Autodesk vice president, consumer products. "Bringing together accessible applications like Autodesk TinkerCAD project-based curriculum from our instructables.com community and the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer will inspire and engage the next generation of design-minded students."
MakerBot is also launching a MakerBot Thingiverse Math Manipulatives Challenge.http://www.thingiverse.com/ Math Manipulatives are one of the most requested items on DonorsChoose.org and are an item that can easily be 3D printed in the classroom. The MakerBot Thingiverse website will hold a week-long design challenge, from November 12 through 18, 2013, for its members to quickly develop a variety of different math manipulative 3D designs that can then be available immediately to teachers that receive the MakerBot Academy 3D printing package.
"We are so grateful to MakerBot and its partners for undertaking this mission," said Charles Best, founder of DonorsChoose.org. "Thanks to this movement, hundreds of thousands of students will have the opportunity to make and innovate in their own classrooms."
Visit DonorsChoose.org and pledge your support. Individuals and corporations can help fund the MakerBot Academy 3D Printing package by making a tax-deductible donation via DonorsChoose.org.
Then tell schoolteachers about the MakerBot Academy program and encourage them to register on DonorsChoose.org right away. Students and their community can also help teachers raise the additional funds they need to bring the MakerBot Academy 3D Printing bundle into the classroom. Participate in the Thingiverse Challenge to develop models teachers can use to improve Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education.

The Garmin Vivofit is water-safe, has a one-year battery life, a dependably on screen, and works with remote heart-rate screen embellishments.
I am utilizing the garmin connect vivofit for as long as month, and I've never needed to charge it once.
I could discuss alternate elements of Garmin's $130 (£100, AU$159) remote Bluetooth wellness band - its savvy auto-changing day by day objectives, its motivational traps, its shower-agreeableness, that it even works with heart-rate screens - however that battery life takes the show.
The unassuming wellness band might be minimized by fancier smartwatches and more intricate heart-rate and notice gathering gadgets down the line, yet a decent, dependable wrist-worn pedometer is still an uncommon find. For the individuals who need the best battery life and have it go about as a watch as well, the Vivofit is one of the best out there. It's water safe. It's low upkeep. What's more, it's one of the best contrasting options to theNike Fuelband , Withings Pulse O2 , or ceased Fitbit Force , available.
The Vivofit's fundamentally a wrist-worn pedometer. It tallies steps, tracks remove voyaged, indicates assessed calories smoldered, shows what number of steps are left towards your every day objective, and tells the time. It likewise tracks rest, and can check persistent heart rate when associated with ANT+ remote heart rate screens sold independently, or packaged with a $169 (£139, AU$199) form of the Vivofit.
The band matches up over Bluetooth 4.0 with perfect Android and iOS telephones and tablets (iPhone 4S and later, third-gen iPad and later, iPad Mini, or fifth-gen iPod Touch for iOS; and Bluetooth Smart-prepared Android 4.3 telephones) by means of a downloadable Garmin Connect application, or synchronizes with a Mac or PC with a remote USB dongle. Entirely essential stuff, however it likewise accomplishes something the Nike Fuelband and Jawbone Updo, as well: it energizes hourly development.
