Breakout Brewery: Aslin
In Northern Virginia, Aslin Beer Company's humble start as a two-barrel brewhouse instilled a discipline of experimentation and learning. Now it's one of the mid-Atlantic's top brewers of progressive, flavor-forward beers.
Jamie Bogner a month ago
The Pranksters
The founders and staff of Aslin Beer Co. are relentless in everything they do. Whether it's maintaining a breakneck pace of innovation in the brewhouse, firing off sarcastic jokes in a rapid-fire and self-deprecating manner, improving the quality of the beer they make, or even doggedly pranking each other, they approach everything they do with an unstoppable yet self-critical energy.
The early story is familiar—two homebrewing friends decided to launch a brewery and fired up a small nano system in 2015 to make beer as they figured out the business side. Not long after launch, they had what's now a more common come-to-Jesus moment as they realized their initial plan to make standard styles with wide appeal was not going to satisfy them and that there was a market for the beers they loved to homebrew but which didn't exist commercially in their region at the time—hazy IPAs, extremely flavor-forward beers, and the like.
So they did what you might expect a couple of homebrewers to do—they changed course, started brewing daily (and often twice in a day), used their tiny scale and frequency of brewing to test methods and ingredients, and started building a name. Through a disciplined methodology of changing single variables and tasting the results, they were able to learn volumes about their ingredients and fine-tune their techniques to get the flavors they were searching for.
"It took off," says Cofounder Kai Leszkowicz. "We didn't realize how many people would be interested or dedicated to the product or how quickly we would convert people who were anti-IPA into IPA drinkers because of that style specifically."
There was no hazy IPA road map in 2015, but Leszkowicz and Cofounder Andrew Kelley were inspired by the progenitors of the style—Tree House, Trillium, Tired Hands, etc.—and had built a solid homebrew recipe for a hazy double IPA (Mine the Hop), which today still underpins many of their hazy IPAs. But like many homebrewers turned pro, they found that streamlining and simplifying recipes was necessary to produce beers efficiently at the commercial scale.
"There are five or six different malts in a homebrew recipe, for what reason?" says Leszkowicz. "You need a little two-row for sugar extraction, a little Carafoam and 60L Melanoidin for body and color and head retention … why can't we just find one element that does that, or simplify it and go back to basics?"
"Generally we now have two or maybe three different types of malts," says Kelley. "And we've found that keeping it simple has created the best product."
They lean toward more flavorful base malts (e.g., Maris Otter, pale malt) for their hoppy beers, with a pretty consistent 5–20 percent of the grist made up of flaked oats or wheat.
Seeking Inspiration
In order to stay ahead of the curve, they've looked to parallel industries and not just the brewing world for everything from flavor to process innovation.
"We asked, 'Where are we getting our inspiration from, and how are we building this product to be us?'" says Leszkowicz. "We took a lot of inspiration on executables from tons of different industries; for instance, with whirlpooling stuff we looked at the coffee industry—extracts in coffee, coffee blooming, how people are drawing flavor from coffee at such high temperatures—and immediately found correlations. We're not always following old guard, tried-and-true methods from within the brewing industry. Not that they're wrong, but they should be questioned. And that was the mindset we took on for a new approach to making a traditional product."
That approach of not saying "no" to even seemingly outlandish ideas led them to culinary-inspired IPAs. While others were pushing big flavors in stouts, Leszkowicz took advantage of an open tank to brew a hoppy IPA inspired by Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, and it was an immediate hit.
"It's trippy for consumers to see what looks like a hazy New England–style IPA. Then they drink it, and it tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch."
But they don't just pull ideas from pop-culture packaged food. Bringo, their rosemary IPA, was inspired by a brewing white paper they once read that discussed extraction of geraniol and linalool (two prominent flavor compounds in hops) and mentioned that rosemary was high in the same compounds. The first edition was hand-pestled and steeped in the whirlpool then dry hopped with rosemary, but they found that simply hanging a bag of rosemary in the whirlpool achieved the same results. They added some vanilla to the beer to help balance out some of the herbaceous and pine notes of the rosemary. Determining the quantity of new ingredients to use is, of course, a challenge. But they've developed a bit of math to make the process more consistent.
"We measure a sample of beer out of the tank and weigh it and know what the weight is of the adjunct we were adding, so we have a definitive ratio," says Leszkowicz. "And we ask ourselves, 'Is this a ridiculous amount or does that sound ballpark right?' It's worked so far, with the exception of lemon. That thing is a bitch. You always need more than you think."
They're currently focused on exploring the timing of fruit additions through the brewing process, as fruits respond differently to various temperatures and processes.
"We've learned that some fruits work better in the whirlpool," says Leszkowicz. "The higher temperatures create a carmelization effect, the same as if you had accidentally burned them in your pan as a homebrewer. But other fruits don't do well with that at all, and they get manipulated or destroyed beyond a salvageable range. Some hops are the same way—you put a hop in the whirlpool, and it gets degraded or destroyed over a certain temperature. A lot of folks using hops-oil extracts will tell you that between 140–164°F (60–73°C) is detrimental to a lot of the hops oils you want to retain in the product. So lower-temperature whirlpools is the way to go. That may simplify things in the future if we can extract more flavors in the knockout."
Vestiges of former strategies abound in the Herndon, Virginia, warehouse brewery of Aslin Beer Co. Here, their original taproom draft faucets sit idle as the space was repurposed for a canning line.
Dry Hops Trial and Error
For hoppy, hazy beers, dry hops methods can make or break a beer or brewery. Like most, Aslin has worked through a litany of methods and settled back on the tried-and-true hops in from the top of the tank, later roused with CO2. They don't recirculate, but instead focus on details such as temperature and ratios of T-90 pellets to lupulin or Cryo pellets. They keep the temperature relatively high during dry hopping—60 to 65°F (16 to 18°C), which has impacted their yeast harvesting process. Rather than fully crashing to drop out yeast, they lower to 50°F (10°C) to harvest, so they can quickly get the tank back up to ideal dry-hops temperatures.
"It's generally two to three days," says Kelley. "There are diminishing returns after that."
Aslin's success resulted in a strange growth pattern. Demand for their beer and the need for production space led to replacing the 2-barrel system with an 8.5-barrel system, and they made an uncommon decision to shutter the tiny taproom in order to install a canning line. The old taps are still visible behind the canning line, but go unused, and 5,000 barrels of beer per year are sold from a plastic folding table set up at the brewery roll door. A tasting room in Herndon, Virgnia, followed in late 2018, and later in 2019, they'll open a brand new facility in Alexandria, Virginia, with a 30-barrel brewhouse that's both closer to Washington, D.C., and capable of feeding a much larger taproom and packaging program.
Kelley and Leszkowicz aren't shy about their ambitions, which reflect confidence in the quality of their beer and their ability to connect with consumers.
"If this is the field of play, and we're in the game right now, we're going to win," says Leszkowicz. We're out here to be our best and be the best at what we do. We definitely have not achieved that yet, and we have tons of critics willing to tell us otherwise, which is great because we're using that as jet fuel to continue our search."

The League of Extraordinarily Funny Women: 50 Trailblazers of Comedy (Hardcover)
By Sheila Moeschen, Anne Bentley (Illustrator)
A celebration of the most groundbreaking women in comedy who used humor to shake up the status quo and change perceptions of gender and comedy forever.
The League of Extraordinarily Funny Women celebrates the outstanding contributions of fifty women in comedy past and present. From legends like Lucille Ball, Joan Rivers, and Tina Fey to current comedy heroes like Issa Rae, Lena Waithe, Abbi Jacobson, and Tig Notaro, this beautifully illustrated book charts a rich lineage of women using humor to speak truth to power, tangle with sensitive subjects, challenge the status quo, and do anything but sit still and stay quiet when laughs are on the line.
Some of these women broke boundaries as pioneers on stage as well as in front of and behind the camera. Others penned their way into the history of American humor, redrawing the boundaries of writers' rooms to include diverse voices and perspectives. Through their collective work as stand-ups, sketch and improv comics, humor writers, and slapstick film stars, these women formed a network forged by creativity, guts, and a deep love of what comedy can do and be. In the process, they continue to pass their knowledge and insights from woman to woman, from funny generation to funny generation, offering support, inspiration, and, above all, laughter.
Sheila Moeschen, PhD, is a Boston-based gender and pop culture writer with a doctorate in gender and theater studies. She has played an active role behind the scenes at the Women in Comedy Festival since its launch in 2009. She is the author of Acts of Conspicuous Compassion: Performance Culture and American Charity Practices and her work has appeared on the Huffington Post, I AM THAT GIRL, RYOT, Red Line Roots, and Feminine Collective. Sheila has been a featured contributor on NPR and on Trailblazers with Walter Isaacson.
"A fun, delightful, and beautifully illustrated retrospective of America's funniest women."
—Yael Kohen, author of We Killed: The Rise of Women in American Comedy
"This book celebrates that one of the great things about comedy is it can be done simply, cheaply, and by anyone. And if you consistently make people laugh -- there will be work for you."
—Jackie Kashian, comedian and creator/host of The Dork Forest podcast
"I read every word of this seminal book. . . looking for my name. Seriously, I love The League. I got to know more about some of my idols and was introduced to new voices. Humor is a portal, and these brilliant women use it as a way out and a way in to change the world for the better."—Wendy Liebman, comedian
"This great book celebrates only a small portion of the thousands of hilarious women out there inspiring us all. A fantastic (if not delightfully passive aggressive) book for the person in your life who says, 'There aren't that many funny women.' I am ordering one for every comedy club owner I know."
—Maria Bamford, comedian, Lady Dynamite

Man Cited After Tossing $1,000 Into MOA Rotunda
Filed Under:Arrested, Black Friday, Mall Of America, Money, Publicity Stunt, Serge Vorobyov, YouTube
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (WCCO) – You know the old saying: money doesn't fall from the sky? Well, it did on Black Friday at Mall of America.
Serge Vorobyov — who goes by the YouTube handle "Serge the Car Hauler" — threw $1,000 in dollar bills from the fourth floor of the Mall of America rotunda as a choir performed "Let it Snow" on the ground floor below.
Serge said the reason he surprised everyone and tossed out the cascade of cash is because he's had a rough year and just wanted to help other people on Black Friday.
"People think it's an evil number, I thought it was supposed to be a lucky number," he said on a YouTube vlog explaining the event. "I went through a horrible divorce, and she even took the cat and won't tell me where it is. I thought I would just spread some holiday cheer … pay it forward."
Unfortunately, Bloomington police did not share his vision of yuletide cheer. They arrested him and charged him with disorderly conduct.
A Mall of America spokesperson said his antics could have caused a major disturbance and someone could have been hurt.
"I think all the people down there enjoyed it," Serge said.

Aspen's Dan Kiely reaches 100 days on his Shaboomee SUP
Sports | November 5, 2018

Roaring Fork Valley local Dan Kiely recently got to 100 days on a stand-up paddleboard for the 2018 season.

Does riding a stand-up paddleboard down Snowmass count as a day? If you are Daniel Kiely, you bet it does.
The Aspen local recently reached 100 days on a paddleboard for the 2018 calendar year, and a lot of it goes back to getting in those early strokes during the spring. This includes that day in April where he and his friends were allowed to ride their paddleboard to the base of Snowmass Ski Area after taking part in the annual Schneetag event on closing day.
"Shaine looked at me and was like, 'This is a day,'" Kiely recalled. "This counts as a day."
Shaine Ebrahimi had a big hand in getting Kiely to 100 days on a paddleboard this year. Ebrahimi owns the Carbondale-based paddleboard company called "Shaboomee," which makes its own paddleboards, as well as offers rentals, tours and instruction.
At some point over the past couple of years, Kiely's passion for the water brought him together with Ebrahimi, and Kiely has been on a Shaboomee SUP ever since. Then, about a year ago, Ebrahimi said he'd give Kiely a pin — similar to Aspen Skiing Co.'s pins for reaching 100 days on skis or a snowboard — if he could reach the century mark on a Shaboomee SUP.
It was game on from there.
"Now, I gotta do it. I'm going to be the only person with a 100-day SUP pin. That milestone, maybe it's not this huge thing, but there hasn't been a specific program about it," Kiely said. "It was never a thing to me. It wasn't like 100 days was this big milestone. But you are in Aspen and Skico does these 100-day pins, so everyone has this thing where the No. 100 is a big deal in this valley."
Kiely, a 45-year-old bartender originally from New York, started getting into paddleboarding when he lived in Denver after college. About five years ago he followed his wife to Aspen after she took a job here, and his obsession with SUPs and the river life only amplified from there.
The idea of reaching 100 days on a SUP came to the forefront last year, but it never panned out. But with summer coming early in 2018, everything came together for Kiely.
"There wasn't really big water this year because there wasn't as much snow, but the water came up and was running really well for a prolonged period of time," Kiely said. "Then that fire happened. I don't know, that fire dampened a lot of spirits."
Kiely, who lives in the midvalley, was certainly impacted by the Lake Christine Fire as much as anyone. But one thing he kept doing was getting on the water, and that became a blessing in disguise as the fire raged from Basalt to El Jebel and beyond.
"It kind of became a little bit of therapy for some people," Kiely said. "It became a little bit of a struggle toward the end of the season when the weather starts changing a little. People start doing other activities."
Unlike skiing and snowboarding, where you can mostly reach 100 days without the help of others, river activities often require a handful of friends and a few shuttle vehicles. Kiely's challenge became finding people to go with when things were less than ideal, such as when the weather started to change in the fall.
But, one way or another, he made it happen, documenting much of it on his Instagram account (@kidkiely). He admits reaching 100 days maybe isn't anything over the top — river guides, for instance, probably have no problem hitting that mark — but for your average guy with a full-time job, it took more than a little commitment to get there.
Kiely hopes the Shaboomee 100-day pin challenge can become more mainstream. After all, when Ebrahimi ordered the pin for Kiely, he had to buy in bulk. The pins can be engraved with a specific year, so if someone wanted to follow in Kiely's wake, there might be a pin waiting for him or her, as well.
"There's not that many people who want to go float on the river in the middle or the end of October. But luckily, sometimes river people are a little crazy," Kiely said. "It's about the people you are out there with. You get this river family and if they are crazy enough to do it and they want to do it and there is no one who is going to go out there with them, sometimes you just have to step up and be the guy."


Private woodlot owners elsewhere want Nova Scotia's deal with the U.S.
Nova Scotia, along with PEI and Newfoundland, has managed to maintain its exemption from U.S. softwood duties (still to be confirmed, however) on the basis that most of the wood comes from private land. Producers in Central and Western Canada obtain the bulk of their wood from Crown Land which is considered an unfair subsidy.
Stats in the last two columns at right were calculated from the other stats; a ? in the right-most column indicates same calculation, nonsensical result.
There are some differences or contradictions in the numbers for the percentage Crown contribution according to whether the calculation is based on area or volume, but one can readily appreciate the much greater significance of Crown land production from Quebec westward compared to the Atlantic provinces.

The 19th Space Operations Squadron is an Air Force Reserve space operations unit, located at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado.

Mission
The 19th Space Operations Squadron is a reserve associate unit with the 2d Space Operations Squadron of the 50th Space Wing. It performs launch, early-orbit, anomaly resolution and disposal operations for the Global Positioning System.  The squadron  provides navigation, timing and nuclear detonation information to users worldwide. It supports daily operations while also maintaining a reserve force available for mobilization.

History

Space detection operations in Turkey
 Background
In October 1954, the US and Turkey began construction of Dyarbakir Air Station, Turkey.  Construction began on a developmental radar designated the AN/FPS-17, a state-of-the art radar (for the time) with a 175-foot-high antenna.  The radar detected the first Soviet launch missile in June 1955 and the world's first man-made satellite, Sputnik-1, in its initial orbit on 4 October 1957.  In 1964 the Air Force added the first AN/FPS-79 tracking radar, with an 84-foot parabolic antenna, to provide accurate metric data on both missiles and satellites. If a new space object was sensed by the detection radar's fans, then the tracking radar could be oriented to achieve lock-on and tracking of the object. The radars were operated by the 6935th Radio Squadron, Mobile of USAF Security Service until 1964, when responsibility for the radars was transferred to Air Defense Command (ADC).

 Squadron activation

ADC organized the 19th Surveillance Squadron on 1 January 1967 to operate the Dyarbakir radars. The unit operated detection and tracking radar units to provide data on missile launches, deep space surveillance and tactical warning.  The Diyabakir site closed on 27 July 1975 and was placed in caretaker status.  During this time, the squadron did not conduct operations, but maintained the radar site in readiness for future operations.  In October 1978, the radars were returned to operational status.  By this time, ADC had been disestablished and the squadron was an element of Strategic Air Command, which had assumed ADC's space mission.  The mission and squadron were again transferred when the Air Force established Air Force Space Command in 1987.

During Operation Desert Storm the radar alerted American troops to incoming SCUD missiles. In 1992, the unit was redesignated the 19th Space Surveillance Squadron.  The radars at what was now called Pirinclik Air Station functioned as a satellite monitor and launch and missile detection radar until the AN/FPS-17 radars were decommissioned in December 1995. The AN/FPS-79 tracking radar operated until the site closed in 1997.

Reserve associate operation
The squadron was redesignated the 19th Space Operations Squadron and activated in October 2000 at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado in the reserve as an associate unit of the regular 2d Space Operations Squadron, operating the same equipment to manage the Global Positioning System alongside members of the 2d Squadron.

Earning the Bucklew Scholarship has opened many doors worldwide for Georgia Beatty, a Weirton, W.Va. resident.
Beatty and other WVU students and professors helped 2,652 patients in four days. They built washing stations, septic tanks and irrigation trenches. This was life changing for Beatty.
Beatty studied international studies and German when she first came to WVU since she loves to travel and learn about different cultures and languages. She chose international studies, so she could make a difference in the world, and she still plans on making a change even though she plans to change her majors to English and German.
Beatty was not sure if WVU was right for her, but her feelings changed after earning the Bucklew Scholarship.
The Bucklew Scholarship awards a student from West Virginia $10,000 per year for four years.
The scholarship has given Beatty opportunities to travel, build relationships with her professors, find a wonderful group of friends and much more.
Beatty wants to teach English as a foreign language through the Peace Corps for several years after graduation. She does not know what she wants to do after the Peace Corps, but plans to either attend graduate school, live abroad or have a writing or law career.

The new Messi! – Karamoko Dembele
by Zin Lama | Oct 7, 2016 | General Football
While striker Moussa Dembele draws up a hat-trick, "Rangers" in the old firm derby and scored "Manchester City" in the Champions League, in the youth teams "Celtic" grows another Dembele – Karamoko.
Forward Karamoko Dembele, who is only 13 years old, continues to blow open spaces of the Internet.
Miniature Ivorian playmaker only 13, and he recently made his debut for the U-20 team, playing with the children, many of which are older than 7 years. It is symbolic that Karamoko replaced Jack Eytchinsona, who last season became the youngest player to score for the "Celtic", breaking the record of 108 years ago.Dembele's talent manifested itself at the summer tournament, where he was playing for 15-year bonds, "Celtic", met with the young men, "West Brom", "Deportivo", "Lion" and "Barcelona", and was named MVP.
Quick Dembele is often compared to Messi. The same technique is soft and shifting into the center from the right to strike from the left. It looks like he really knows how much.


Olive oil consumption in the United States has risen steadily since 2000, according to a 2018 statista.com report. Last year, approximately 326,000 metric tons were consumed.
Even though olive oil has been a staple in Italian, Spanish, Greek and Middle Eastern cooking for generations, its popularity grew when Mediterranean diets became the rage in the 1990s, shared medicalnewstoday.com in January. Average American cooks learned that Mediterranean cooking requires olive oil as the main source of dietary fat.
— First cold pressed means that 1) first: olives are run through the mill only one time; 2) cold: everything is kept below 28 degrees Celsius; 3) pressed: a hydraulic press crushes the olives to release the oil.
— Extra virgin simply means of the highest quality, conveys oliveoilsource.com, with the oil obtained only from the olive.
To taste and smell different oils from various countries and even regions, visit an olive oil store. And, know that age is a factor.
"Unlike many wine varieties, olive oil does not improve with age, so freshness is a key component to quality," said Coleman.
Oil that is two years old can turn rancid.
Coleman advises purchasing quality olive oil in dark glass bottles instead of clear or plastic bottles.
"Light causes oil to photo-oxidize," which means the quality of the oil can deteriorate faster, he said.

Q: MySQL NOT IN with subquery not working as expected I'm creating a application that will generate lists for email marketing campaigns. I have tables for contacts, emails, and campaigns. A campaign has many emails and a contact has many emails. The email is related to a contact and a campaign. Basically a table for a MANY to MANY relationship except I have other fields in the table for the result of the email (clicked, opened, unsubscribed, etc). There are also other tables but this is where I'm having the trouble.
I'm trying to use NOT IN with a subquery to get a list of contacts who have not received an email since a certain date with other conditions. An example query is this:
SELECT *
FROM `contact` `t`
WHERE (unsubscribed='1')
  AND t.id NOT IN
   (SELECT distinct contact_id
    FROM email, campaign
    WHERE email.campaign_id = campaign.id
      AND campaign.date_sent >= '2012-07-12')
ORDER BY rand()
LIMIT 10000

This returns 0 result. However, if I run the first condition:
select id
from contact
where unsubscribed=1

I have 9075 rows. Then, if I separately run the subquery:
SELECT distinct contact_id
FROM email, campaign
WHERE email.campaign_id = campaign.id
  AND campaign.date_sent >= '2012-07-12'

I have 116612 rows. Out of each of those results, I end up with 826 values that are duplicates. From what I can understand, this means that 9075-826=8249 records ARE unsubscribed=1 AND NOT IN the second query. So, my first query should be returning 8249 results but it is returning 0. I must be structuring the query wrong or using the wrong operators but I can not for the life of me figure out how to get this right.
Can anyone help? So many thanks in advance as this has had me stumped for like 3 days! :)

A: Just wasted a few hours and a few hairs on this as well.
Was not able to get "NOT exists" to work as the accepted answer mentioned.  However, you can simply throw in a NOT NULL in
WHERE "field you are aggregating is not NULL", and that did the job.
SELECT *
FROM `contact` `t`
WHERE (unsubscribed='1')
  AND t.id NOT IN
   (SELECT distinct contact_id
    FROM email, campaign
    WHERE email.campaign_id = campaign.id
      AND campaign.date_sent >= '2012-07-12'
      AND contact_id is not NULL          ###*************added line
)
ORDER BY rand()
LIMIT 10000

A: This is because
SELECT 1 FROM DUAL WHERE 1 NOT IN (NULL, 2)

won't return anything, whereas
SELECT 1 FROM DUAL WHERE 1 NOT IN (2)

will.
Please review the behaviour of NOT IN and NULL in MYSQL.
For your concern you should get away with it using NOT EXISTS instead of NOT IN:
SELECT * FROM `contact` `t`
WHERE (unsubscribed='1')
AND NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT * FROM email, campaign
    WHERE
        email.campaign_id = campaign.id
    AND campaign.date_sent >= '2012-07-12'
    AND t.id = contact_id
)
ORDER BY rand()
LIMIT 10000

A: select c.*, e.id from contact as c
left join email as e on c.id = e.contact_id and e.date_sent >= '2012-07-12'
where e.id is null and c.unsubscribed = 1

I think campaign.date_sent was a typo? It must be email.date_sent?

American businesses spend a whopping $712 per worker, per year, in the battle against spam. Even though 60 percent of companies deploy enterprise-wide spam filters, two out of three email messages are spam.
Spam—unwanted and often unsolicited electronic junk mail — wastes time and eats up a lot of network bandwidth. American businesses spend a whopping $712 per worker, per year, in the battle against spam. This Webopedia article will take you through the process of learning what email spam is and offer tips to effectively combat spam.
Spam has become ubiquitous — one of the facts of life, like taxes. Most people see spam as the scourge of email and look for ways to stop it from infecting their email boxes. Spam is generally defined as email advertising for some product sent to a mailing list or newsgroup. There is some debate about the source of the term, but the generally accepted version is that it comes from the Monty Python song, "Spam spam spam spam, spam spam spam spam, lovely spam, wonderful spam." Like the song, spam is an endless repetition of worthless text.
In addition to wasting people's time with unwanted email, spam also eats up a lot of network bandwidth. Consequently, there are many organizations, as well as individuals, who have taken it upon themselves to fight spam with a variety of techniques. According to industry statistics, even though 60 percent of companies deploy enterprise-wide spam filters, two out of three email messages are spam.
1. Prevention: Prevention is the best medicine so avoid giving your email address to unfamiliar recipients. Use more than one email address; one for friends, family and colleagues and second for unfamiliar sources. If you have an e-mail address that receives a large amount of spam replace it with a new address. Once your e-mail address is on a spammer's mailing lists, it is likely that you will receive increasing amounts of spam. At work, use your work email address only for work communication.
2. Use Filters: A second way to stop spam is to use your email application's filtering features. Most email applications allow you to block specific messages. When an offending email comes in, set the filter to block further incoming mails from that sender. At the network level, implementing spam and virus checking isn't very difficult. Depending on the mail server, implementing spam filtering such that it is able to reject spam before the SMTP session is over can be difficult.
3. Report Spammers: A more aggressive approach to ridding unwanted email is to report the e-mailer to the spammer's ISP. This is not always an easy task. First you must determine the spam's origins. Many of the bigger and more commercial ISPs forbid spammers from using their services and, once discovered, will actively ban the offending parties from using their services. To find the spam's origins, instruct your email program to display all of the email header information. View the "Received" lines, and working from top to bottom you can often pinpoint the origin of spam.
Spam is a business, and the spammers keep doing it because people keep falling for scams like penny stocks or clicking on links to install key loggers. Don't be fooled by phrases such as "to be removed from this list, click here." Spammers use these types of catch phrases to entice users to respond to the emails. By clicking and performing the action you have told the spammer that your email address is valid and reaches a real person. This can actually be more valuable to the spammers because they can now sell your address to another spammer with the assurance that the email address is legitimate.
Email is increasingly frustrating to manage. We sometimes want to receive messages from people we don't know, so email is designed to reflect that. People have implemented systems where a sender has to verify himself the first time they send email, but that type of system doesn't always work. Another way to deal with spam is to just not be bothered by it. Accept it as a fact of life. Delete the emails from your inbox without reading them and move on from there.

Unemployment, Labor Numbers Improve
Elizabeth Pearson | November 22, 2010
Even though unemployment is still hovering around 10%, a few reports appear to show some signs of life on the job front.
Reuters reports that the the four-week average for new unemployment claims fell to a two-year low, although last week's claims did rise by 2000. The news agency also reported that "manufacturing activity in the country's Mid-Atlantic region touched a near one-year high in November."
In addition, the U.S. Bureau for Labor Statistics announced that the average weekly hours for workers in the private sector rose from 33.7 hours last October to 34.3 hours this October. Overtime also rose from 3.2 hours to 3.9 hours for manufacturing workers.
John Canally, economist at LPL Financial, told CNBC that those labor numbers are good news for job seekers.
"That's a sign there's more demand for product out there and companies are able to meet it with making people work a little longer," he said. "At some point, you exhaust the work force and you have to go out and hire new workers."


Dessert Tacos? Yes Please! These creative and sweet chocolate-covered tacos are the perfect kid-friendly dessert.
Heat oven to 325°F. Heat taco shells as directed on box. Meanwhile, melt chocolate candy coating as directed on package. Line cookie sheet with waxed paper.
Carefully dip each taco shell into melted chocolate, using spoon to get chocolate on inside of shell; hold shells above bowl to let excess chocolate drip off. Stand shells upright on cookie sheet lined with waxed paper; let stand 10 to 15 minutes until chocolate hardens. Refrigerate until ready to use.
The chocolate-covered shells need to be refrigerated until serving, or they'll soften and be less crunchy.

On a recent afternoon, interior designer Esteban Arboleda of the firm Haynes-Roberts was beaming. Resting on the floor of his Shelter Island, New York, dining room, ready to be installed, was his latest vintage purchase—a groovy 1970s chandelier found at a local tag sale. "It's a Sonneman!" he announced, delighted.
More and more that's a name on people's lips as aesthetes rediscover the disco-era creations of Robert Sonneman, the 73-year-old American lighting guru who, for the past five decades, has been translating a Bauhaus ethos into sculptural, often experimental fixtures. "I love the shapes of his lights, especially pieces from the '60s and '70s," notes AD100 talent Martyn Lawrence Bullard. "There's a fluidity to the forms that's both modern and futuristic. They add a punch of glamour to any interior." Case in point: For the Beverly Hills home of Elton John and David Furnish, Bullard chose a pair of Sonneman steel table lamps to flank the couple's bed.
RH Modern has reissued Sonneman's Constructivist Panel (above) and Cathedral lights (below) in brass.

Q: ssdt :Keeping data with table creation script I am creating a database project for an existing database and wants to keep table creation script and its insert script together. I tried following
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[t1] (
   [ID]   INT            IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
   [Desc] NVARCHAR (100) NOT NULL
)

GO
SET IDENTITY_INSERT [dbo].[t1] ON

INSERT INTO [dbo].[t1] ([ID], [Desc]) VALUES
(1, N'dining'),
(2, N'lounge'),
(3, N'hall'),
GO
SET IDENTITY_INSERT [dbo].[t1] OFF
GO

and it gave error on Insert statement
'SQL70001: This statement is not recognized in this context.'
I can recall that I have seen the same in one of my previous project but can't recall how it was done.
Any help/suggestion is appreciated.

A: The normal thing is to have a post deploy script and to put the insert into that, if you make it re-runnable to add "if not exists row .. insert" or my preferred merge statements then even if it is run for every deployment it doesn't matter.
tgriffin is right you can't put DML in a script with the Build action and you can't put DDL statements in a file without build and also have it included in the project.

A: I think that will happen when you have DML in a script which has a Build Action of "Build". Changing the Build Action to None by right-clicking on the script > Properties > Build Action, should resolve the error.

Evaluation of Pharyngeal Airway Dimensio...
Evaluation of Pharyngeal Airway Dimensions and Hyoid Bone Position in Children After Adenoidectomy or Adenotonsillectomy: A Cephalometric Study
Buyukavus M. H., Sari Ö. F., Kocakara G.
Journal of Dental Research, Dental Clinics, Dental Prospects, vol.16, no.2, pp.81-86, 2022 (Scopus)
Doi Number: 10.34172/joddd.2022.013
Journal Name: Journal of Dental Research, Dental Clinics, Dental Prospects
Keywords: Adenoidectomy, Cephalometry, Hyoid bone, Tonsillectomy
© 2022 The Author(s).Background. The study aimed to compare the airway morphology and hyoid bone position in children undergoing adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy with healthy individuals with no skeletal problems in similar age and development period. Methods. The subjects in the study were divided into three groups. These groups were defined as those having undergone adenoidectomy (53 children), those having undergone adenotonsillectomy (48 children), and the systemically healthy control group (63 children). Seventeen pharyngeal airway, nine hyoid, and four area measurements were used in the cephalometric radiographs of the children in all the groups. One-way analysis of variance was used to evaluate the children in each group. In addition, Tukey tests were used for a bilateral comparison of significant parameters. The results were considered statistically significant at P < 0.05. Results. The mean age of 164 patients in the study group was 12.76 ± 2.85 years. The vertical airway length significantly decreased in the adenotonsillectomy group compared to other groups, while the epiglottic pharyngeal length significantly increased in the former than in the latter (P < 0.05). The area measurements showed that although the oropharynx area significantly increased in the adenotonsillectomy group compared to other groups, the hypopharynx and total area measurements were significantly different compared with the control group (P < 0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between the three groups in all measurements of the hyoid bone position (P > 0.05). Conclusion. The study showed that adenotonsillectomy operations caused more increases in the oropharynx and hypopharynx parts of the pharyngeal airway. Adenoidectomy and adenotonsillectomy operations did not contribute significantly to the hyoid bone position.

Missing Music On Streamed TV Programs Highlights Rights Issues for Podcasters and Video Producers
By David Oxenford on April 28, 2021
Posted in Advertising Issues, Intellectual Property, Internet Video, Music Rights, On Line Media, Podcasting
Last week, the NY Times ran an interesting article, here, about how many old TV programs now available on streaming services are missing music that was featured on the original broadcast. This was because when the music rights were initially purchased, their use was limited to over-the-air broadcasts or was limited to a short period of time, with the producers never envisioning that the programs would be available through on-demand streaming services decades after they originally aired on over-the-air television. While not mentioned in the article, for many radio broadcasters one of the series most missed on streaming services is the industry favorite WKRP in Cincinnati. That series took forever to get to digital outlets, and still does not appear to be on any subscription streaming service, reportedly because of music rights issues. This article and the issues that it highlights should be a warning not just to TV producers, but also to anyone planning to use music in audio or video productions – including podcasts and online videos – that clearing music rights is essential to insure that these productions can be fully exploited not only when they are first made available, but also in the future if they are repurposed for other platforms.
We have written before (see, for example, our articles here and here) about the need to get permission from the copyright holders in both the musical work (or musical composition – the words and music to a song) and in the sound recording (or master recording – the song as recorded by a particular band or singer). Just signing up with a performing rights organization (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or GMR) is not enough because, while podcasts may involve the public performances of the musical works that these organizations license, they do not give rights to make the permanent fixed copies of those songs, synchronized with other audio in the podcast, that can be accessed and downloaded on demand. These uses require the additional copyrights to reproduce and distribute music, and arguably to make derivative works, that can only be obtained from the copyright holder (see our article here describing why the PRO license itself does not give all rights needed to use music in podcasts). Similarly, the rights to the sound recording must also be obtained from the copyright holder in the recording – and payments to SoundExchange do not cover the on-demand music uses involved in a podcast. Thus, when the necessary rights are not obtained from the copyright holders, we have seen podcasts go silent after infringement claims are brought or threatened (see our article here).…

Music in Podcasts – As Podcasts Shut Down Following Infringement Notices, Looking at the Required Music Rights
By David Oxenford on October 15, 2020
Posted in Intellectual Property, Music Rights, On Line Media, Podcasting
The use of music has long been an issue for those looking to provide music-oriented podcasts to the public. As we have written before (see, for example, our articles here and here), clearing rights to use music in podcasts is not as simple as signing up with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC (or even adding GMR or SoundExchange to the mix). These organizations simply cover public performance rights for music when, as our prior articles make clear, podcasts require additional rights to use music in ways not fully covered by the licenses that are offered by these organizations. The rights to the use both the underlying musical composition and the actual recording of that composition by a band or singer must be obtained on an individual basis from the copyright holders. That can often mean a search for both the publisher and record company who usually own those copyright in the musical composition and the sound recording, respectively. This can often be a difficult search, especially if there are multiple songwriters of a composition (and hence multiple publishing companies which likely own the copyrights) or where the rights to the songs have been assigned over time from their original owners. Plus, as we have written before, there is no easily accessible universal database yet in existence that provides up-to-date and complete records of who owns those copyrights. All this combines to make the clearance of music for use in podcasts an arduous process – and almost prohibitive for any small podcaster who wants to use more than one or two pieces of music in connection with their show.
In an article in the radio industry newsletter Inside Radio this week, it appears that at least two music-oriented podcasts have attracted the attention of the music industry, receiving demands from the RIAA which has led to their ceasing of operations. It appears that these cases demonstrate both the difficulty of clearing music for podcasts, and perhaps that, as podcasting is growing in attention, the legal issues associated with the use of music in those podcasts is coming to the forefront of the attention of the music industry. …

RMLC and SESAC Agree to Extend Current License Agreement for Commercial Radio – Music Licensing Update for Radio
Posted in Broadcast Performance Royalty, Intellectual Property, Internet Radio, Music Rights, Podcasting
The Radio Music License Committee and SESAC yesterday announced an extension of the terms of the royalty agreement that is currently in place between the commercial radio industry and this performing rights organization. As we wrote here, the agreement under which radio broadcasters have been paying for the last three years was arrived at after an arbitration process following the settlement of an antitrust proceeding, and resulted in a dramatic reduction in the amount of the royalties paid to SESAC prior to that litigation. The antitrust settlement calls for arbitration every three years if RMLC and SESAC cannot voluntarily arrive at new royalties. The initial three-year period expired at the end of the 2018. The parties have been negotiating a deal that covers the period starting from January 1, 2019, and the new deal that they arrived at runs for four years through December 31, 2022. The new blanket agreement is available on the RMLC website here and with instructions from SESAC here. It principally carries forward the deal terms of the prior agreement.
Note that in many trade press reports there have been statements that the agreement covers the public performance of SESAC music, not just on over-the-air radio but also on the streams of broadcast stations and in other "new media transmissions." These new media transmissions, under the terms of the agreement, also include "radio-style podcasts." As we noted in connection with RMLC's recent license agreement with BMI, these agreements cover the public performance rights in a podcast, but that is not the only music license that you need to use music in a podcast. As podcasts are downloadable and playable on-demand, and they involve the synchronization of music and speech into a unified recorded work, the rights under Copyright law to make reproductions and likely the right to make derivative works of these recordings need to be secured. These rights need to come directly from the copyright holders in both the musical composition (the words and music of a song) and the sound recording (that song as recorded by a particular band or singer). The public performance rights from ASCAP, BMI and SESAC are insufficient by themselves to give you the rights to use music in a podcast, which is why there are so few podcasts that make extensive use of major label recorded music. …

Using Music in Podcasts – Talk to the Copyright Holders – Why You Can't Rely on Your ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and SoundExchange Licenses

Our friends at Edison Research recently released a study on music discovery highlighting the ways in which people discover new music. Among their findings was that broadcast radio, YouTube and streaming services were among the largest sources for that discovery. That report caused one radio trade publication to suggest that podcasts, which ranked relatively low among the places where new music is discovered, might have opportunities to grow there. What that suggestion overlooks is one of the biggest reasons that music podcasts have not taken off – rights issues. There still is no easy way to clear the rights to major label music – so most podcasts are limited to spoken word featuring limited, directly licensed music.
That comment made us think that we should re-run an article from earlier this year, that explained music rights in podcasts. That article was prompted by the settlement between the Radio Music License Committee and BMI over music royalties for broadcasting. While a press release about the settlement said that the BMI license includes the use of music in podcasts, we pointed out that radio stations should not assume that means that they can start to play popular music in their podcasts without obtaining the rights to that music directly from rightsholders. They cannot, as BMI controls only a portion of the rights necessary to use music in podcasts and, without obtaining all of the remaining rights to that music, a podcaster using the music with only a BMI license is looking for a copyright infringement claim.…

Looking at the President's Executive Order on Online Media – Part 2, What Real Risk Does It Pose for Media Companies?
By David Oxenford on June 5, 2020
Posted in Intellectual Property, Internet Radio, Internet Video, On Line Media, Podcasting, Political Broadcasting, Programming Regulations, Public Interest Obligations/Localism, Website Issues
We summarized the provisions of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act on Monday, looking at the application of the law that the President has sought to change through the Executive Order released last week. Today, it's time to look at what the Executive Order purports to do and what practical effects it might have on media companies, including broadcasters. As we noted in our first article, the reach of Section 230 is broad enough that any company with an online presence where content is created and posted by someone other than the site owner is protected by Section 230 – so that would include the online properties of almost every media company has.
The Executive Order has four distinct action items directed to different parts of the government. The first, which has perhaps received the most publicity in the broadcast world, is the President's direction that the Department of Commerce, acting through its National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA – the Executive Branch office principally responsible for telecommunications policy), file a petition for rulemaking at the FCC. This petition would ask that the FCC review Section 230 to determine if the protections afforded by the law are really as broad as they have been interpreted by the courts. The Executive Order suggests that the FCC should review whether the ability granted by the law for an online platform to curate content posted by others – the "Good Samaritan" provisions that we wrote about on Monday – could trigger a loss of protections from civil liability for third-party content if sites exercise the curation rights in a manner that is not deemed to be in "good faith". The Executive Order directs this inquiry even though the protections for hosting online content are in a separate subsection of the law from the language granting the ability to curate content, and the protections from liability for third-party content contain no good faith language. The Order suggests that the FCC should find that there would not be "good faith" if the reasons given for the curation actions were "pretextual," if there was no notice and right to be heard by the party whose content is curated, and if the curation is contrary to the service's terms of use. The Order suggests that the FCC should adopt rules to clarify these issues. …

The President's Executive Order on Online Media – What Does Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act Provide?
Posted in Intellectual Property, Internet Radio, Internet Video, On Line Media, Podcasting, Political Broadcasting, Programming Regulations, Website Issues
When the President issues an Executive Order asking for examination of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which permitted the growth of so many Internet companies, broadcasters and other media companies ask what effect the action may have on their operations. On an initial reading, the impact of the order is very uncertain, as much of it simply calls on other government agencies to review the actions of online platforms. But, given its focus on "online platforms" subject to the immunity from liability afforded by Section 230, and given the broad reach of Section 230 protections as interpreted by the Courts to cover any website or web platform that hosts content produced by others, the ultimate implications of any change in policy affecting these protections could be profound. A change in policy could affect not only the huge online platforms that it appears to target, but even media companies that allow public comments on their stories, contests that call for the posting of content developed by third parties to be judged for purposes of awarding prizes, or the sites of content aggregators who post content developed by others (e.g. podcast hosting platforms).
Today, we will look at what Section 230 is, and the practical implications of the loss of its protections would have for online services. The implications include the potential for even greater censorship by these platforms of what is being posted online – seemingly the opposite of the intent of the Executive Order triggered by the perceived limitations imposed on tweets of the President and on the social media posts of other conservative commentators. In a later post, we'll look at some of the other provisions of the Executive Order, and the actions that it is asks other government agencies (including the FCC and the FTC) to take. …

S-Town Podcast Lawsuit Settled – Reminder on Getting Releases from Podcast Subjects
By David Oxenford on May 20, 2020
Posted in Intellectual Property, On Line Media, Podcasting, Privacy, Programming Regulations, Website Issues
Rights of publicity and privacy can present issues for podcasters and other media companies who feature people in their productions. Almost two years ago, we wrote about the lawsuit brought by the surviving family members of the character who was central to the S-Town podcast. The podcast focused much of its attention on the life of this individual who was not an elected official or any other sort of public figure. As the individual died before the podcast's release, the family sued on his behalf, arguing that the podcast violated his rights of publicity. The lawsuit now has reportedly been settled. That settlement suggests that we should repeat the advice that we gave when the suit was first filed, as that advice remains relevant today.
Various states grant individuals rights of publicity to exploit their names, likeness, or stories – essentially barring others from exploiting that person without his or her permission. Other state laws grant individuals a right of privacy to keep private facts private. While the details and exceptions to these rights differ from state to state, they generally do not restrict bona fide news stories about public figures or reporting on other matters that are in the public interest – and the First Amendment provides broad protections for truthful stories about public figures. Most broadcasters and other media companies don't routinely run up against the restrictions set out in these laws in their day-to-day coverage of news events. But the analysis may be significantly different when a podcast or other media production gets into the stories of individuals who are not public figures.…

BMI Settlement of Royalty Battle with RMLC to Include Music in Podcasts? – Not So Fast….
Posted in Broadcast Performance Royalty, Intellectual Property, Music Rights, Podcasting, Website Issues
BMI and the Radio Music License Committee announced a settlement of their rate court litigation over the royalties that commercial radio will pay for the public performance of musical compositions licensed by BMI. While we have not yet seen the agreement, the press release already raises one issue likely to sew confusion in the broadcast industry – the extent to which the agreement allows the use of music in podcasts. While the press release says that the BMI license includes the use of music in podcasts, radio stations should not assume that means that they can start to play popular music in their podcasts without obtaining the rights to that music directly from rightsholders. They cannot, as BMI controls only a portion of the rights necessary to use music in podcasts and, without obtaining the remaining rights to that music, a podcaster using the music with only a BMI license is looking for a copyright infringement claim.
So why doesn't the license from BMI fully cover the use of music in a podcast? As we have pointed out before, a broadcaster or other media company that has performance licenses from ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and even GMR does not get the right to podcast music – nor do the SoundExchange royalty payments cover podcasts. These organizations all collect for the public performance of music. While podcasts may require a performance license (see our article here about how Alexa and other smart speakers are making the need for such licenses more apparent as more and more podcast listening is occurring through streaming rather than downloads), they also require rights to the reproduction and distribution of the copyrighted songs and the right to make derivative works – all additional rights given to copyright owners under the Copyright Act. These additional rights are not covered by the public performance licenses from ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR and SoundExchange, nor are the rights to use the "sound recording" or "master" in the podcast. What is the difference between these rights?…

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. These are words The Acacia Strain live by. Sure, they might have improved their chops, paid for better production, and somehow got more pissed off over the years but this is essentially the same black-hearted, bloody-knuckled misanthropic metalcore the Massachusetts mob were writing a decade ago. That's not a slight though. Where most bands need experimentation and new ideas to move forward see, this lot steamroller straight ahead, stopping for nothing.
Powerful opener 'Beast' should have you convinced; all ominous darkness, actual dread, and Jamey Jasta's guest bellows, but just in case there's the relatively upbeat beatdown of 'The Hills Have Eyes', the blasphemous blast furnace of 'Ramirez', and the cinematic omnipotence of 'Bay Of Pigs'. Seriously, just try doing anything else while the riffs of that last one hit like wave after terrifying tsunami wave. Flaws do show- 'BTM FDR' is rife with terrible lyrics (although frontman Vincent Bennett still sounds like he's spitting venom with every single syllable), there's a little drag to longer songs like 'Unabomber', and final track 'Tactical Nuke' is an idea that definitely sounded better in the studio than it does on disc- but 'Wormwood' moves too constantly, too persistently, too much like unstoppable molten rock, to let these fine cracks ever become fissures.
In short, this is metalcore shorn of fat. Each and every flourish is, for better or worse, cut away, and what's left is a slab of hate, anger and rage that you could pierce skin, punch out eardrums, and poison the waterhole with. 'Wormwood' isn't pretty, it isn't particularly smart, and it certainly isn't reinventing the wheel, but it is heavy metalcore at its ugly, brutal and brilliant best.

Ohio State officials have reached out to police about threatening and insulting social media messages sophomore E.J. Liddell received following the Buckeyes' NCAA Tournament loss on Friday.
Ohio State associate athletic director for communications Dan Wallenberg told The Associated Press he contacted police on Saturday morning about the threats Liddell received after the second-seeded Buckeyes were upset by No. 15 seed Oral Roberts 75-72 in overtime.
Liddell, who had 23 points and 14 rebounds in the game, revealed on his Twitter feed he received threatening messages. He posted images of the messages, including one that said "I hope you die I really do." Other messages included racist insults.
"Honestly, what did I do to deserve this?" Liddell posted on Twitter. "I'm human."
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said the language used against Liddell "is appalling and will not be tolerated."
"To the few of you who have chosen to inappropriately rail against our players on social media, stop," Smith said. "Hate and derision have no place in Buckeye Nation or in civil society. If you cross the line and threaten our players, you will be hearing from the authorities. That I promise you.
"I have nothing but love and respect for E.J. He epitomizes all that we hope for in our student-athletes."
Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann also defended Liddell.
"Recent social media comments to E.J. Liddell, while not from or representative of Ohio State fans, are vile, dangerous and reflect the worst of humanity," Holtmann posted on Twitter. "E.J. is an outstanding young man who had a tremendous sophomore season and he was instrumental in our team's success. We will take all the necessary actions to address this immediately."
Liddell said by revealing the threats and insults he was not "saying anything negative about Ohio State fans."
"I love you all dearly and I've felt nothing but appreciated since the first day I stepped on campus," he said.
Liddell said he was confused to be targeted by the messages.
"Comments don't get to me but I just wanna know why," he said. "I've never done anything to anyone in my life to be approached like this."
STATE RIVALRY
The loyalties of some Illinois residents may be torn by Sunday's second-round Midwest Regional game between top seed Illinois and eighth-seeded Loyola Chicago. That's no problem for Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, the 101-year-old chaplain for Loyola. Even so, the beloved centenarian hoops fan threw some shade at the NCAA selection committee for pairing state rivals so early.
"I've heard a lot of people say how come two schools from Illinois are meeting each other so soon and they have not so good feelings about it," she said in a Zoom interview, adding she doesn't often see state rivals from North Carolina or Florida in similar matchups.
Sister Jean taught at Chicago's Mundelein College when Loyola beat Illinois in the 1963 NCAA Tournament. She said she was already a college basketball fan and watched on an 11-inch television when Loyola beat Cincinnati for the NCAA championship.
She said she remembers Loyola students walked down the street "yelling 'We won! We won! We won!' and came in the Mundelein residence hall and all the girls joined in."
After the coronavirus pandemic kept fans away this season, Sister Jean said it meant more to attend Friday's 71-60 win over Georgia Tech. She said she communicates by email and delivers pregame prayers by phone.
"I'm missing the guys all the time," she said, adding "everybody was gone from campus" only a few days after the pandemic outbreak one year ago.
"It was very shocking to have all that happen," she said.
ACC YOU LATER
The Atlantic Coast Conference's down year hit rock bottom with fourth-seeded Virginia's 62-58 loss to 13th-seed Ohio in the West Region, giving the league a woeful 2-5 record in the first round.
ACC Tournament champion Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Clemson and North Carolina lost Friday. Virginia's upset loss on Saturday night eliminated the league's regular-season champion.
The Cavaliers were the last team to arrive in Indianapolis because of a positive COVID-19 test that forced them to withdraw from the ACC Tournament semifinals and quarantine.
Eleventh-seeded Syracuse was the league's only winner Friday, beating San Diego State in the Midwest Region. Fourth-seeded Florida State held off UNC Greensboro 64-54 in Saturday's first round of the East Region.
Duke missed the tournament for the first time since 1995.
The league claimed three of the past five NCAA titles: Duke (2015), UNC (2017) and Virginia (2019). The ACC, which claimed a top seed in 26 of 29 tournaments, had no team seeded higher than fourth this year for the first time since seeding began in 1979.
Orange coach Jim Boeheim said the biggest difference was the lack of a headlining team. He noted Georgia Tech didn't have ACC player of the year Moses Wright in its loss to Loyola Chicago.
"We weren't quite as good at the top," Boeheim said Saturday. "Obviously Carolina and Duke weren't as good as they've been. Virginia was good, but they struggled during the middle of the year. We didn't really have a top-10, top-15, top-16, top-20 team really at the end of the day. We had a lot of good teams."
BRACKET BUSTERS
Any fan holding an unblemished NCAA Tournament bracket has reason to brag. Friday's first-round upsets already have blown up most brackets.
ESPN says after 16 games, there were 108 perfect brackets remaining from the 14.7 million entered before the tournament.
Ohio State's loss was the biggest shock. ESPN says more than 95% of brackets — 13,992,289 — listed the Buckeyes beating Oral Roberts.
GATORS' APPLEBY HEALING
Florida coach Mike White said guard Tyree Appleby "seems fine, seems normal" after suffering a head laceration on Friday and will be a game-time decision against Oral Roberts on Sunday.
Appleby was hit by an inadvertent elbow early in the second half while playing defense against Virginia Tech. He wobbled to the locker room and returned to the bench area in overtime to see the No. 7 seed Gators pull out a 75-70 victory.
White offered no update on suspended forward Omar Payne, who sat out the game because of an "in-house situation." Payne was ejected from the SEC Tournament quarterfinals early in the second half for a flagrant-2 foul against Tennessee's John Fulkerson, who suffered a concussion and facial fracture and did not play in Tennessee's opening-round loss to Oregon State.
White declined to say if Payne's suspension was related to elbowing Fulkerson.

I want everyone to know this was purely a football business decision. Because if Beane and the Bills were interested in Brown from a football standpoint despite the things that made him no longer welcome in Pittsburgh, Beane should have been more than interested in Beckham from a football standpoint despite the things that made him no longer welcome in NY.
Gettleman acknowledged that he placed a call to the Buffalo Bills after their attempted trade for Antonio Brown fell through, but got rebuffed. Giants GM Dave Gettleman, who's taking enormous heat for trading Odell Beckham Jr.to the Browns, stressed he only did so because his good friend John Dorsey made him an offer he couldn't refuse. "Obviously there's a lot of stuff that factors in, but at the end of the day, in order for us to move Odell, the other team was going to have to knock it out of the park", Gettleman said. "After much discussion, we just believe this is in the best interest of the NY football Giants".
But, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Giants not only could have gotten more in exchange for Beckham had they shopped him more aggressively, but were actually offered significantly more for the superstar previously. He also admitted to numerous conversations with the San Francisco 49ers previous year, though nothing materialized.
"This narrative that Eli is overpaid and can't play is a crock, I'm telling you", Gettleman said, adding he doesn't mind if people disagree with him.
"We have positions to address".
"Because of Odell's talent and personality, this was a decision we did not enter into lightly", said Gettleman, who has run the Giants since Jerry Reese was sacked in December 2017.
"Trust me, we have a plan", he said. "With football being the ultimate team game, we turned that fact into three valuable assets, at the very least".


Cayman's culinary legacy has developed through a melange of local dishes and regional influences from across the Caribbean and beyond. What better way to celebrate the rich and varied flavours of our local cuisine than by complementing your favourite meal with a perfectly paired bottle of wine. Local certified sommelier Roberto Logioia believes that "The gourmet world is as complex as the wine world" and that the key to a perfect pairing is to balance the ingredients and flavours of your chosen dish with the wine-making process and earth terrain of the grapes characteristic of a particular wine variety. With Roberto's expert guidance, we've paired a selection of quintessentially Caribbean dishes with some of the best value-for-money wines on-Island, ensuring a well-balanced palette at every level.
Jerk is a traditional Jamaican seasoning combining, amongst others, the essential ingredients of allspice berries, hot peppers, thyme and cinnamon. Jerk is traditionally used as a rub to flavour meat before it is grilled or smoked slowly over a fire-pit of pimento wood. The hot and spicy flavours from jerk chicken, coupled with the smokiness from its preparation, are well complemented by a Rosé d'Anjou from the Loire Valley, France. The slightly mild, soft, clean, fresh and fruit-forward notes of this particular variety of rosé mellow the spiciness and charcoal flavours of the jerk.
Conch is best identified by its large, pink shell and has a distinctive, sweet flavour. It is characteristically quite tough and in this dish, the conch is tenderised by, and virtually cooked in, lime juice, similar to the preparation of ceviche. The very crisp and clean Muscadet from the Loire region compliments this seafood dish, along with its citrus notes of lemon and tangerine flavours. With hints of lemon-lime, the finish lingers, rounding out some of the saltiness.
The firm texture of snapper with its sweet, nutty flavour lends itself to everything from hot chillies to subtle herbs. In this Caymanian favourite, it is pan fried with onions, tomatoes, sweet pepper and scotch bonnet pepper. A sparkling white wine from the Loire Valley complements this dish with flavours of fresh peaches and pear and tiny bubbles and evolves gracefully across the palate with a nice, persistent aromatic note.

Also known as the 'West Indian Lime', key limes have a higher acidity and stronger aroma than your everyday variety and make this a refreshing dessert. The texture and softness of a late harvest Sauvignon Blanc dessert wine from Chile balances acidity with lime, marmalade, honey, mango and pear. The smooth and long finish and fragrant elements of the dessert wine combine wonderfully to compliment this delicious treat.
