Source: Panthers, ninth pick Kuechly have deal
Source: Carolina, Luke Kuechly agree
ESPN.com news services
The Carolina Panthers have agreed to a four-year, $12.58 million guaranteed deal with first-round pick Luke Kuechly, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Kuechly, the ninth overall pick out of Boston College, is the highest first-round pick to reach a deal. The Panthers have an option for a fifth year in Kuechly's deal because of his place in the draft.
In past years, it's taken most NFL teams until late July to get rookies under contract but the new collective bargaining agreement has made it much easier to sign rookies since they're all slotted.
The Panthers open a three-day minicamp on Friday.
Along with Kuechly, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press the Panthers also agreed to terms with guard Amini Salotolu from Midwestern State (40th overall), defensive end Frank Alexander from Oklahoma (103rd overall), punt returner Joe Adams (104th overall), cornerback Josh Norman from Coastal Carolina (143rd overall), punter Brad Nortman (207th overall) and safety D.J. Campbell (216th overall).
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deals have not been announced.
In addition, the Panthers have brought in 32 players for a three-day tryout, including quarterbacks Dalton Bell from West Texas A&M and Jarrett Brown from West Virginia.
The Panthers' three-day camp will feature only rookies and first-year players, which means stars such as Cam Newton and Steve Smith will not be on hand for this weekend's activities.
However, the Panthers will get their first look at Kuechly and it will be interesting to see where he lines up.
Carolina wasted no time selecting Kuechly but coach Ron Rivera wouldn't say where he plans to play him, saying only that his versatility and ability to play all three linebacker positions is one of the main reasons they chose the two-time All-America selection from Boston College.
"We're going to look at it, we really are, and just see how it all meshes," Rivera said. "This is one of those picks where it makes your group better and your unit better. The reason we drafted the kid is he has tremendous versatility.
"Whether he's playing the Sam, the Mike or the Will for us, this guy has an opportunity to make an impact for us. We're going to put the best football players on the field and we're going to play them."
The Panthers signed all three starting linebackers to five-year contracts last summer, but middle linebacker Jon Beason ruptured his Achilles in the season opener and weakside linebacker Thomas Davis tore a knee ligament in Week 2 for the third time in three seasons. Meanwhile, strongside linebacker James Anderson emerged with a breakout season, leading the team in tackles.
Given Davis' injury history and uncertain status heading into the season it would seem weakside linebacker would be the obvious spot.
But if the Panthers have a spot picked out for Kuechly they haven't informed him.
"They said just be ready to pick up the playbook and be ready to play all three positions," Kuechly said after being drafted.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Robert Redford's very presence in the blockbuster Captain America: The Winter Soldier lends truth to that 19th-century epigram, coined by writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr. Not because that august actor has spent much time among superheroes, spandex, CGI, and larger-than-life combat. In fact, Captain America is a first in a career that is now into its sixth decade. But in taking part in this mammoth entertainment Redford inadvertently calls forth memories of one of his classic '70s movies, Sydney Pollack's Three Days of the Condor.
At a glance, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Three Days of the Condor would appear to have little beyond Redford in common. The latter is a 1975 paranoid thriller, short on action but high in suspense as Redford plays Joseph Turner, a CIA member – not a spy, but a reader whose job it is to ferret out whatever intelligence can be gleaned from poring over books, newspapers, and magazines – who becomes a target after his entire section is killed while he's at lunch. The stakes are higher in Captain America as the titular superhero Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) fights to save humanity from those who would enslave it in vicious battles that range from urban warfare to skirmishes in the sky against hordes of committed killers and one seemingly unstoppable Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan).
For all the films' surface differences, the similarities are striking. In both, the guiding principle is "Trust no one," advice explicitly given Rogers by his boss Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and quickly understood by Turner when his attempt to come in from the cold goes awry. The CIA, for which Turner toils, has been compromised from within, and so has SHIELD, the agency that employees Rogers.
Three Days of the Condor, adapted from James Grady's 1974 novel Six Days of the Condor, reflects the cynicism of the Watergate era. Coming out in the aftermath of WikiLeaks' many exposés and Edward Snowden's revelations about NSA spying, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, adapted from the Marvel comic book series, expresses this era's distrust of institutions in a plot that ups the ante: The duplicitous faction of the CIA in Three Days of the Condor only mean to wreak havoc in part of the world, while the criminal elements in SHIELD want to take over the entire planet.

Stanford-led research underscores pollution's impact on child health
A child looks on as workers remove fired bricks from a kiln in Bangladesh, while smoke billows out of other kilns in the background.
@Navaism
Rob Jordan
Studies have shown air pollution is a major risk factor for respiratory infection – the leading cause of death among children under five – but bad air's specific impacts on developing bodies have remained somewhat of a mystery.
A Stanford-led study reveals a link between tiny airborne particles and child health in South Asia, a region beset with air pollution and more than 40 percent of global pneumonia cases. The analysis, published in Environmental Pollution, estimates the effect of increased particulate on child pneumonia hospitalizations is about twice as much as previously thought, and indicates a particular industry may play an outsized role in the problem.
The findings could help public health officials and policymakers better target emissions reduction programs to improve child health.
"Everybody wants to protect kids' health," said study lead author Allison Sherris, a postdoctoral research fellow in Earth system science at Stanford's School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences. "Now, we have evidence of a clear health benefit to children from reducing ambient PM2.5 emissions in Dhaka."
For many of the 21 million residents of Dhaka, Bangladesh – the study's focus area – air pollution is an all-too-regular part of life, especially in winter, when coal-burning brick kilns around the city operate. Of special concern is PM2.5, airborne particles 2.5 micrometers wide or smaller. The larger of these particles are about one-thirtieth the width of a human hair, small enough to inhale deep into the lungs.
Once inside the lungs, these particles can cause inflammation and impair the body's ability to fight infection. But particles from different sources can have different shape, size and chemical composition, and it's not clear what specific components of PM2.5 might be most harmful.
Few studies have evaluated the health effects of PM2.5 in infants and young children, especially in low-income countries where children are more than 60 times as likely to die from air pollution exposure as children in high-income countries, according to the World Bank. Among studies that have, most focused on the indoor environment, where the use of biomass-burning cookstoves has been associated with child respiratory infection.
"Specifying the impact of industry-generated air pollution on child health provides compelling evidence to support interventions to reduce pollution," said study senior author Stephen Luby, a professor of infectious diseases at Stanford University. "This is often more salient to politicians than the marginal contribution of emissions to global climate change."
Sherris, Luby and their colleagues analyzed long-term PM2.5 monitoring data alongside community health surveillance of respiratory infections from the Atomic Energy Centre, Dhaka, and the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh. They found pneumonia incidence among children under 5 increased by 3.2 percent for every PM2.5 increase of 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air – a standard measure in air pollution analysis.
The mean PM2.5 level in Dhaka was on average over three times higher than the World Health Organization standard. The association between air pollution and child pneumonia suggests that air pollution is a major contributor to the leading cause of child death in Bangladesh and across South Asia.
That difference equates to more than 200,000 additional child pneumonia cases in Bangladesh each year, and nearly two million additional cases across South Asia. The increase is also approximately double similar prior estimates of pneumonia hospitalizations associated with increased PM2.5 and about 10 times more than such estimates for outpatient visits.
The difference from previous findings may reflect the young age of the study population – most children in the study were two or younger – the source composition of particulate matter in Dhaka, and the fact that the study included nearly all community infection cases, rather than just focusing on cases that made it to clinics and hospitals.
Prior studies by researchers at the Atomic Energy Centre, Dhaka found that biomass burning contributed the most to outdoor PM2.5 levels, followed by brick kiln emissions and soil dust. However, on days when brick kilns contributed a heavier than-usual amount of PM2.5 to the mix of bad air, the link between PM2.5 and child pneumonia was stronger.
The findings are among the first evidence that communities and policymakers can point to that suggests a measurable impact of brick kilns on child health. Considering 9 out of 10 people live in areas with air pollution exceeding World Health Organization guidelines, further investigation into whether particles from brick kilns and other sources have different health impacts could inform health and environmental interventions around the world. Luby leads a collaboration among public health experts, industry stakeholders, technology consultants and government agencies to improve the industry. He received funding for related work focused on brick kilns and other industries, funded by the Sustainability Initiative that gave rise to Stanford's new school focused on climate and sustainability.
"We're still only looking at a small slice of the potential health outcomes that might be linked to this kind of air pollution, and we still lack perfect measurements of exposure to it," said Sherris. "The true health burden is likely much greater.
Luby is also a senior fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute and the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, a member of Stanford Bio-X and the Stanford Maternal & Child Health Research Institute and director of research at the Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health. Stanford co-authors include Michael Baiocchi, an assistant professor of epidemiology and population health at Stanford's School of Medicine. Other co-authors of the study include Bilkis Begum of the Atomic Energy Centre in Bangladesh; Doli Goswami of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research in Bangladesh; Philip Hopke of the University of Rochester; and W. Abdullah Brooks of Johns Hopkins University.

Get ready to share the road with cars that have no one behind the wheel
Darrell Etherington	@etherington / 3 years
The day when you pull up next to a car in traffic and find no one sitting at the steering wheel is probably closer than you think. As TechCrunch's Lora Kolodny noted yesterday, California has amendments to a bill before its legislative assembly that would allow for the testing of cars without any driver in the seat at all on actual roads. And earlier this week, Michigan's state legislators introduced a bill that would also allow testing without a safety driver present, which has bipartisan support and is set to be discussed at a state senate hearing today.
Both bills do limit the situations in which these kinds of driverless cars can operate; California's bill specifies speeds under 35 miles per hour in pilot projects, and operation only within approved areas (but those areas could include public roads).
Michigan's proposed law would allow the self-driving cars on any state roads, including highways and interstate routes. The only real limitation here would be that it includes a provision that carmakers and its suppliers (the creators of the autonomous driving system used, for instance) be held liable for any resulting accidents.
Currently, every state requires that a human driver be at the wheel. In Michigan's case, then, the bill represents a significant economic advantage, and a way to keep car tech research and development within the state. The introduction of the proposed amendments in California is likely only going to speed up Michigan's legislative process on the matter, especially since the bill already has support from both Republican and Democratic legislative representatives.
The bottom line is that one way or another, state lawmakers are very likely going to allow vehicles without humans at the wheel very soon. Yes, in a test capacity, and potentially in limited driving situations, but still on public roads, in situations where human drivers will see them and interact with them.
Here it comes.

Street signage in Seoul, the capital of South Korea
Graham Reid | Nov 7, 2016 | 3 min read
With so many CDs commanding and demanding attention Elsewhere will run this occasional column by the informed and opinionated Shani.O.
She will scoop up some of those many EP releases, in much the same way as our SHORT CUTS column picks up albums by New Zealand artists, and IN BRIEF does for international artists.
Shani.O's profile appears at the end of these brief but pointed reviews . . .
ALTA: Sincere
Australian duo ALTA's EP is a somewhat experimental genre-bending collection of tracks held together by subtle pop sensibilities. Washy, and at times almost dissonant production (though purposeful and well executed) is grounded by unassuming pop melodies, hooks and uncluttered lyrics allowing arrangements to reach tumultuous heights. Vocalist Hannah Lesser has the quirky voice to carry it too, with a laid-back husky tone that shines particularly in her pure upper register. Fusing electronic, soul, trip hop and r'n'b elements, Sincere proves ALTA's potential and opens the door for the duo to continue growing into their experimental skin. Check it out here on Spotify or here on Soundcloud.
Tommy Nee: Colorblind
Nuiean born, Auckland-based artist Tommy Nee releases this debut, an exceptional work holding as much cultural awareness as it does musical sophistication. It has a truly polished air with slick production, tasteful arrangements and songs that are equal parts catchy and authentically organic. Title track Colorblind (beyond its outstanding arrangement and production merits) speaks of a message so imperative not only within our own society here in New Zealand but also engaging in worldly dialogues on issues of race and culture. Nee offers the kind of thoughtful and perceptive analysis we need more of to truly discuss these issues through the arts, and presents it as an offering to listeners both here and offshore where the message remains equally relevant. New Zealand, make sure you familiarise yourself with this EP and the name Tommy Nee, as something suggests he is only just getting started. A debut in its own league, catch Colorblind here on iTunes and here on Spotify.
Jai Wolf: Kindred Spirits
Expansive intros, airy synths and pop melodies tick all the boxes for any electronica fan's summer playlist on Jai Wolf's debut. Indian Summer stands out as a memorable mid-tempo addition, whilst many of the other tracks (although enjoyable and atmospheric) haven't quite got the same fresh vibe and musicality. Repetition is no doubt a backbone convention within many genres, particularly electronica, but proves to be slightly overused throughout this EP resulting in a few of the tracks growing tiresome prior to their four minute conclusion. While some tracks suffer under too much repetition or lack of variation in arrangement, a select few flourish into a hypnotic soundtrack for those upcoming summer road trips. You can catch the EP 'Kindred Spirits' out on November 18th on all major music platforms.
Jake Stokes: Before We're All Dead
Jake Stokes (of Wellington origin) has continued to prove dedication to his craft with this second venture. Written and produced by Stokes himself, the EP follows the 2014 album Midnight which was released when the artist was only 18. Clearly a driven songwriter and musician, Stokes offers an upbeat collection of rock songs, all of which showcase his affinity for intricate lyric writing and electric guitar. Three Sugars is the clear highlight, stripped back to just voice and acoustic guitar thereby allowing the poignancy of the lyric to come to the fore. The vocal delivery is natural and mature, making this track a true indication of the pure potential within this young Kiwi artist who will no doubt continue to solidify himself as a true up-and-coming homegrown talent. Catch Jake Stokes on his current tour of New Zealand, and make sure to give the EP a listen before you head along to the show. You can find it here on Spotify.
Shani.O is a musician/songwriter/performer, currently completing a BMus in Popular Music at the University of Auckland and graduating at the end of the year.

AMCS Performs Necropsy on Stranded Humpback Whale in Atlantic Beach
Even during the holidays, Atlantic Marine Conservation Society is prepared to be in the field promoting conservation of the marine environment through action. As the lead large whale response organization in New York State, our nonprofit organization responds to calls of deceased marine mammals and sea turtles 24-7. The day after Christmas is no exception.
Nassau Police Photo of the Deceased Humpback Whale in Atlantic Beach
On Tuesday, December 26, 2017 we prepared to respond to two strandings on opposite ends of Long Island. The first was for a deceased common dolphin that washed ashore in Montauk, and the second was for a deceased humpback whale that washed ashore in Atlantic Beach. While part of the necropsy team conducted a necropsy on the common dolphin with National Park Services that day, the rest of the team began formulating a response plan for the 33-foot humpback whale.
Whale necropsies take several hours, and with considerations for daylight and the tide in mind, the response was scheduled to take place the following day on Wednesday, December 27, 2017. Atlantic Beach in the Town of Hempstead is a popular area, and news of the whale spread quickly. AMCS worked with the Town of Hempstead's Department of Conservation and Waterways, Bay Constables, and Department of Sanitation, Marine Mammals of Maine, Mystic Aquarium, Stony Brook School of Atmospheric and Marine Sciences, NOAA Fisheries, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, and the Long Beach Department of Public Works to secure the whale, set up a work site, and follow safety procedures on day with temperatures below freezing to perform the necropsy. The team was joined by media and members of the community interested to learn more of what was going on.
The necropsy took several hours to complete, and samples were sent to a pathologist to help determine a cause of death. Following the necropsy, the whale was buried on the beach. Members of the community expressed interest and concern in this disposal method, and AMCS biologists spoke to individuals about why this method was chosen. Education is an important aspect of our work, and we greatly appreciate the support of the community in our efforts.
Below is a joint statement from Atlantic Marine Conservation Society and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries about the burial:
Burial on the beach is the most natural way to dispose of deceased whales, and is the primary disposal option for large whale carcasses around the country. This has been an effective means of disposal for more than 40 years, and the whale stays contained on the beach. Animals are buried high on the beach near the base of dunes to mitigate concerns of erosion. There have been a number of studies that assess leachate from disposal sites, however the primary focus has been contaminates and other disease agents. Leachate from a burial site is extremely slow and likely flows down into bottom sediment. Burial, similar to composting, aids in breaking down biological material faster and therefore remains to be a viable option for large whale carcass disposal.
There have never been any issues with oil/blood leaching from a burial site into the water that would attract sharks. In the event blood or oil is leached, it would be slow and the dilution factor would be so high it would be highly unlikely to be detectable by sharks. The concern with spreading disease comes from the public touching the animal. Once the animal is necropsied and the animal is buried, the risk of disease transmission is mitigated. Being made into smaller pieces after the necropsy also aids in its decomposition.
It is illegal for people to dig up the whale, or keep any pieces including bone. Marine mammals are federally protected, and only authorized organizations may respond to these animals. NOAA fully supports the ongoing efforts by AMCS to respond to large whale stranding events and to use burial as a disposal option to maintain public health and safety.
As a nonprofit organization, we truly appreciate all of the organizations involved that were instrumental in these efforts. We ask that the public help by reporting strandings to the NYS Stranding Hotline by calling 631.369.9829.

Homegrown receiver Lemar Durant signs extension with B.C. Lions
VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions have signed Canadian wide receiver Lemar Durant to a one-year extension that will keep him with the team through the 2022 season.
The native of Coquitlam, B.C., was named the Lions' top Canadian last year, hauling in 57 receptions for 810 yards and five touchdowns.
The 28-year-old Simon Fraser product was selected in the second round by Calgary in the 2015 CFL draft. In 51 games over four seasons with the Stampeders, Durant recorded 102 catches for 1,280 yards and eight touchdowns.
He was also named most valuable Canadian in the 2018 Grey Cup with 52 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown reception in Calgary's 27-16 win over Ottawa.
"I'm excited to be staying in my hometown with this group that's being assembled by (co-GMs) Neil McEvoy and coach (Rick) Campbell," Durant said in a statement.
"With (quarterback) Mike Reilly also locked up, plus the other offensive weapons that are already in place, I can't wait to return to the field and help this squad get to the next level."
FULLBACK STAYS WITH STAMPS
The Calgary Stampeders have re-signed Canadian fullback William Langlais.
The native of Hull, Que., was a third-round pick by Calgary in the 2015 CFL draft.
Langlais appeared in nine regular-season games in 2019 and had four receptions for 54 yards, including a career-long 33-yarder, one carry for three yards and one special-teams tackle.
For his career, Langlais has 54 special-teams tackles and 13 receptions for 189 yards.
"I couldn't see myself playing for another team," Langlais said in a statement. "I missed the city of Calgary during this long layoff since we were last on the field so I'm really happy to be back."
ROUGHRIDERS ADD FIVE
The Saskatchewan Roughriders have re-signed two Canadians, signed two Americans and had another American opt back into his contract.
Canadian receiver Jake Harty and defensive lineman Jordan Reaves have signed one-year extensions with the club.
Harty signed with the Roughriders last year after three seasons with Ottawa.
Reaves originally signed with Saskatchewan in 2016 after spending 2015 on the Winnipeg practice roster.
The Roughriders also signed defensive back Jeremy Clark and wide receiver Sammie Coates and had defensive back AJ Hendy opt back into his contract.
ARGOS RE-SIGN THREE
The Toronto Argonauts have extended the contracts of American defensive lineman Ronald Ollie and defensive backs Davontae Merriweather and James Sample.
Ollie was cut by the NFL's Oakland Raiders in training camp last year. He was one of the stars of the Netflix reality show "Last Chance U" during its first season.
Merriweather was 2019 defensive player of the year in the Indoor Football League with the Arizona Rattlers.
Sample was a fourth-round pick by the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars in 2015.

The LCD or liquid crystal display has become a ubiquitous component of any computer system and has prominently replaced the cathode ray tube in the modern television. By researching methods of designing liquid crystalline (LC) molecules and new ways of predicting and controlling their self-assembly, new and improved LC materials may be prepared. A LC mesophase is an intermediate phase between a three-dimensionally ordered crystalline solid and a completely disordered isotropic liquid. LC mesophases flow under pressure. The fluid behavior of the LC mesophase allows the material's orientation to be manipulated by an external magnetic or electric field. This is how the pixels in an LCD TV are switched on and off. This research focuses on studying a specific kind of interaction in LC phases; the metallophilic interaction. A metallophilic interaction occurs when closed-shell or pseudo-closed-shell metal complexes like Au(I), Pd(II), or Pt(II) stack very close together so that the metal-center electrons are in electronic communication. Having already synthesized metallophilic Pt(II) complexes in the group, we will present the syntheses of completely organic 3,6-phenanthrenedicarboxamide derivatives. These control molecules have the same general size, shape, and rigidity as the Pt(II) complexes, but they cannot form metallophilic interactions. Their analysis therefore presents a vital control for the use of metallophilic interactions for the ordered self-assembly of liquid crystals. The liquid crystalline behavior of these control molecules will be compared to that of the Pt(II) complexes and analysis of the ordering via differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy will be presented.

Hundreds of local children with sickle cell disease are living healthier, more fulfilling lives thanks to Guy's and St Thomas' community nurses.
The nurses support almost 1,000 children in Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham who suffer from sickle cell disease. This is an inherited blood disorder that affects haemoglobin, the protein found in red blood cells that carry oxygen around the body.
The sickle shaped cells block small blood vessels and may cause severe pain for anything from a few hours to several weeks.
Ten-month-old Maximillian Ofokajah from Catford has the disease and is being helped by the community team to stay healthy.
His mum, Ebere Anna Ngene, says: "I am originally from Nigeria where children with sickle cell disease sometimes die at a very young age. So when I found out Maximillian had the condition I was very worried.
"Thankfully the sickle cell nurses have been wonderful. They explained how important it is to keep him fit and well.
"Now I take extra care to make sure his medicines including penicillin and folic acid are stored properly.
"They even helped me find a new home as it is really important that where we live is warm and clean."
Sickle cell disease affects about 12,500 people in the UK. It is most common in people of African, Caribbean, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Asian descent.
Effective treatment is essential to improve the quality of life and life expectancy of children and young people. Guy's and St Thomas' community nurses provide vital support so parents can help children avoid serious complications such as severe anaemia, infections and damage to organs including the liver, spleen and heart.
Nkechi says: "Simple things like keeping the home warm and dressing children in layers that can be taken on and off can make an enormous difference. Drinking plenty of water and eating healthy foods can also help.
"Specialist nurses support parents to learn how to recognise and avoid risk factors that can trigger a painful episode previously known as a crisis.
"By working closely with parents we can make sure younger patients have the best chance of staying fit, healthy and out of hospital.

DETROIT LAKES, Minn. — Motorists will experience delays due to detours while traveling on Highway 75 when a resurfacing project between Ortonville and Graceville begins May 4.
The project is one of nearly 100 Minnesota road and bridge projects that will be funded with $502 million in federal economic stimulus dollars.
Highway 75 through traffic will be detoured between Ortonville and Clinton using Highway 12, Big Stone County Road 21 and Big Stone County Road 6 for approximately three weeks beginning May 4.
A second Highway 75 detour between Clinton and Graceville will begin upon the removal of the first detour. Through-traffic will be detoured using Big Stone County Road 6, Big Stone County Road 21 and Big Stone County Road 28 for approximately five weeks.
Following each detour, crews will finish paving the detoured section under traffic. The work will require lane closures with flaggers and pilot cars guiding motorists through the work zone.
Work on the project will occur Monday through Friday and some Saturdays, and is scheduled to be completed in mid-July, weather permitting.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation urges motorists to always drive with caution, slow down in work zones and never enter a roadway that has been blocked with barriers or cones.
As of Thursday (5/7/09) they are busy in the section from hilltop area to the diagonal road. They had ripped up what they needed to and were putting the first layer of tar down on one side of the highway. It's a trick to get to the Cenex store (not to mention the school bus garage, the bowling alley and other businesses). But, hopefully they'll get it done quickly and move north.
If you go out on hwy 12 be aware they are filling in the cracks on that road, so you WILL encounter flag men and be down to one lane for brief periods..hopefully they will be done shortly.
Some years, we get only two seasons -- Winter and road repair. This is not one of them -- what a beautiful Spring we have been given this year!

Topics: Director Liability,Risk Management
By Sarah Downey
COVID-19 Underscores Need for D&O, EPL, and Wage and Hour Insurance
The COVID-19 pandemic is a public health crisis that continues to threaten the safety of people in the United States and around the world. It's also an unprecedented economic event, and companies and their boards are not immune from the risks it presents. Directors of public, private, and nonprofit organizations will face liability exposures during and after the pandemic that could trigger claims under directors and officers liability (D&O), employment practices liability (EPL), and wage and hour liability (W&H) insurance policies—which makes understanding such coverage more important than ever.
Expect Board- and Management-Targeted Litigation
Since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020, we have seen a number of securities class action lawsuits filed against public companies and their directors and officers. To date, shareholder litigation related to COVID-19 has mainly taken the form of securities class action litigation, although there has been at least one derivative action filed. We have also seen a handful of US Securities and Exchange Commission actions filed against companies and at least one individual officer.
Despite the limited number of derivative actions to date, the possibility of an uptick in this type of litigation should be of great concern to directors. A drop in stock price is a prerequisite for a securities class action. But derivative litigation, which involves allegations of a director's breach of fiduciary duties, can be filed without such a fall in stock price. Derivative settlements and judgments are not usually indemnifiable, making them particularly problematic as they may expose directors' and officers' personal assets if they do not have appropriate Side-A insurance coverage in place.
The global impact of the virus has brought a significant increase in supply-chain disruptions and a slowdown or complete halt of business operations in some industries, both of which can heighten insolvency risks. These impacts could thus lead to a company's inability to fund the defense of its directors involved in company-related litigation, making D&O liability protection essential. Compared to public-company D&O policies, private- and nonprofit-organization D&O policies typically offer broader coverage. Depending on policy wording, the latter coverage could be triggered by pandemic-related claims from various stakeholders, including customers, vendors, and employees.
Potential Liabilities for Employers
The pandemic's extraordinary effect on workplaces could generate a variety of EPL and W&H claims. We expect plaintiffs' counsel to advance novel legal theories under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, among other legislation, as employers struggle to comply with new and sometimes conflicting requirements under these and other employment laws.
History has shown that wrongful termination suits, discrimination suits, and other workplace litigation tend to follow on the heels of an economic downturn. Widespread layoffs, furloughs, and closures amid the pandemic will likely drive future claims. These claims could also be fueled by some new paid sick leave laws that include antidiscrimination and antiretaliation provisions, which prohibit employers from taking adverse action against employees who exercise their rights.
Businesses should also be mindful of potential claims that could arise in connection with managing remote workforces, including employee privacy and cyber claims. Directors and officers might be held personally liable for some alleged violations under wage and hour laws and state equivalents to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which requires advance notice of plant or office closings.
Certain aspects of these and other types of workplace litigation claims could trigger EPL or W&H coverage, depending on the facts of the claim and policy wording.
It's difficult to predict the next turn for businesses during the pandemic, but they must ready themselves for potential D&O, EPL, and W&H claims in the weeks and months ahead. Boards and management should work with their insurance advisors to understand how their coverage can apply and prepare to manage potential losses as the crisis continues to unfold.

WORCESTER - The city isn't all industry, commerce and baseball. It has its romantic side as well.
Worcester is known as the heart of Massachusetts because of its location, but at one time the city, and nearby Grafton, were at the heart of the valentine card industry in America.
At a talk Tuesday at the Worcester Historical Museum, Vanessa Bumpus, exhibit coordinator, told the story of Esther Howland, Jotham Taft and George C. Whitney, and their roles in the development and modernization of what has become a billion-dollar industry. In the United States alone, more than 145 million Valentine's Day cards are expected to be exchanged, according to Hallmark.
Ms. Bumpus said that as in other communities, valentine sales are a big business in the city, but Worcester also once had a thriving valentine making business. The Historical Museum has many boxes of valentines, including those dating to the earliest years of card making in the city. The inscriptions run from the romantic to the risque. One says, "Warm hearts" and shows hearts with smoke coming from them and an man naked except for an apron. Another reads, "I'm not so very old and I'm not so very bold, but I love you just the same. Please try to guess my name."
In one postcard valentine addressed to a Viola Lamica of Malone, New York, a man named Bill wrote, "I promise we'll never quarrel on the way home from town with our weekly provisions." The card is from 1920.
Ms. Bumpus said Ms. Howland started one of the earliest valentine makers in the country.
"She's kind of the Martha Stewart of her day," she said. "She's the first maker of valentines in Worcester."
Ms. Bumpus said Ms. Howland started her business after she graduated from Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley in 1847. Her valentines were hand-made by her and a group of friends she employed. The valentines are very small and fragile. Because they are hand-made, no two Howland valentines are alike. They are also difficult to find these days because they were so fragile.
Ms. Howland was not alone in the business locally at the time. There was also a company in Grafton by valentine pioneer Jotham Taft. He began making valentines in the town in 1840. Ms. Bumpus said his were almost indistinguishable from Ms. Howland's. Eventually the two card makers combined efforts. In 1879 they created the New England Valentine Co., which was located at Harrington Corner in Worcester, near Main and Front streets. Two years later, because of Ms. Howland's father's poor health, they sold the company to George C. Whitney, who first went into business with his brother Edward as The Valentine Co. Edward Whitney later left the business and George created the George C. Whitney Co. in the 1880s. The company shifted from hand-made assembly-line valentines to machine-made greeting cards.
One Whitney card is of a man sitting at a table and a woman bowing to him, asking him to be her valentine because he voted for giving women the right to vote.
George Whitney continued to make greeting cards until World War II, when a paper shortage forced him to liquidate the business.
Along with the valentine making talk, the Worcester Historical Museum held its annual valentine making contest, which attracted 1,200 entries from public school students. Awards were give in three categories to students in Grades 3 through 6, and a master award was given to a student who had previously won the contest.
This year's winners are third-graders Chloe Latham (contemporary), Hennesy Balbuena (historic) and Patric Kodra (verse); fourth-graders Lily Bocelli (contemporary), Leah Cruz (historic) and Imogene Gay (verse); fifth-graders Jadalise Bonaparte (contemporary) Jordan Golinski (historic) and Mame-Yaa Owusu (verse); and sixth-graders Celine Astacia (contemprary), Lillian Howe (historic) and Annabelle Monero (verse). The master winner is Emiy Yoshida Araujo, a fifth-grader.

Cast: LeBron James, Don Cheadle, Sonequa Martin-Green
Director: Malcolm D. Lee
NBA superstar LeBron James teams up with Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes for this long-awaited sequel.
Verdict: This sequel is basically one big advert for Warner Bros. and is hampered by weak jokes and poor acting from LeBron James
Release: July 16th 2021
LeBron James has to team up with Bugs Bunny and his Looney Tunes pals for a basketball game to rescue his son and return home.
After a 25-year wait, fans of the original Space Jam starring Michael Jordan finally get a sequel, this time starring LeBron James in the lead role.
The Los Angeles Lakers basketball hero, who plays a fictionalised version of himself, is a demanding father who is all business and no fun.
He gives his youngest son Dom (Cedric Joe) a tough ride for not applying himself to basketball and trying to follow in this footsteps, even though Dom doesn't want to pursue that career – he's a talented video game developer who has made his own game at the age of 12.
During a meeting at the Warner Bros. lot, they both find themselves trapped in the studio's Server-Verse, a digital space which hosts all of its IP and is run by the evil Al, G. Rhythm (Don Cheadle).
The only way to get them out of there is for James to play a basketball game – a non-traditional match based on Dom's video game – with Looney Tunes characters as...

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Before the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled the trigger on their January trade to bring back catcher Russell Martin, they watched enough video to convince themselves he would bounce back from career lows in batting average and slugging percentage.
On the first official day of pitcher and catcher workouts Wednesday, they couldn't be more pleased with the four-time All-Star.
He's already pleased with the approach from new Dodgers hitting coach Robert Van Scoyoc and his staff, including hitting strategist Brant Brown and assistant hitting coach Aaron Bates. Van Scoyoc came aboard Nov. 28 to replace Turner Ward, who was hired by the Reds, new home of former Dodgers Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp.
From their analysis of Martin's 2018 performance, they recommend change.
''They told me, 'We can clean up your lower half. We feel we can synchronize it to where it is working together,''' Martin said.
Defensively, he is studying an analytics package provided by Friedman, which shows key aspects of each Dodgers pitcher. Plus, he is picking Barnes' brain.
''The biggest part about being a catcher is knowing your pitchers, building that relationship, building that confidence,'' Martin said.
Left-hander Rich Hill appreciates Martin's seasoning.
''One thing you can't teach is experience, so what he brings into this clubhouse of over a decade of playing in the major leagues is going to help immensely,'' Hill said.
NOTES: Roberts said life without Puig ''is going to be different.'' ''It is going to be a quieter camp, whether that is good or bad.'' ... Closer Kenley Jansen threw his first bullpen Wednesday and was pleased with his spin rate, which dipped last season as he struggled to overcome a hamstring injury and dealt with atrial fibrillation. An August episode in Denver led to an ablation procedure on Nov. 26. ''He looks great,'' said Friedman. . Mark Prior will be the primary pitching coach in the absence of Rick Honeycutt, who underwent surgery Tuesday and is expected to be away for a few weeks while recovering.

I recently decided that this page was never going to get done, so I decided to unlink some things and then put it online while I add to it daily (or as time permits).
I have many plans for the site as I grow together with it. I apologize in advance for any disorganization or lack in knowledge, however I trust being led by the Spirit that somehow everything will fit together eventually. So for now, expect things to be regularly moved around until it all finds its proper place. Always feel free to contact me personally with any thoughts or suggestions.
This page covers the topics of knowing God, His voice, the christian conscience; the Spirit within; and the need not that any man should teach you.
This section covers many topics: how to find God; what to expect; what was prophesied; etc.. It will also introduce and lead up to my next section about the math experiences in everyone's life.
This is the section on the main page that introduces my saying "do the math".
This section explains God's math in much more detail. It also attempts to teach how to see the math in our testimony as well as the reason for it all.
My hope for this site, is that it be used of God in a way that speaks to the heart of those that are looking for the wisdom or strength to take the next step in their spiritual walk.
Since I will be sharing many of my experiences and revelations throughout this site, maybe some of what God has given me, will be a witness to you.
To balance out the ministry of the word and stay on topic: I will create and link a new topic page when I am writing and then feel the Holy Spirit saying that I need to explain or teach something that I am casually mentioning, but realize that it may contain some personal revelation or something not so mainstream or conventional in the middle of a sentence. If I happen to miss or skim over something that you do not have a complete revelation on as of yet, feel free to email or message me. I will share my revelation, knowledge or understanding with you (anyone) on any topic.
I am not here to proselytize for a church, organization, fellowship, etc.. I am not here to demand that you believe any of my doctrine to be saved. Sometimes we miss the point of it all: It is not what we do; It is not what we know; BUT, IT IS WHO WE "KNOW" ...read more on this topic here.
As an introduction, if there was only one opening thought I wanted to convey more then anything else, it would be that I am not here for myself, I am here for you. I have much more then a single testimony to share, I have a way of life and a life of experiences that testify that God is real beyond any possible shadow of anyone's doubt.
I myself was an Atheist; that was raised in a Muslim home; that became a Christian; and later found out that I was born of a Jewish mother which (according to old testament law) makes me a Jew. If you thought that your spiritual makeup was strange, let me testify that you need to sit and listen to me for about twelve hours.
I don't know who you are: You might be an atheist, agnostic (or in-between); You might be (or have been) part of some Eastern based religion; Western cult; or Christian based organization; faith; etc.; You might be a philosopher in your own right; you might be into powers of the mind; astral projection; wicken/wicca or pagan religious views; I do not know how God has or will eventually make himself real to you, but one thing for sure: If you have an honest heart and are open for God to reveal Himself; get ready for the surprise of your life!
I am here to testify that each one of us can have a REAL two way interactive relationship with a living God. Not only is this possible, HE has already made the provision for it. As you work your way through my web site, let the Holy Spirit of God be your guide. Let God lead you to the reason for coming here and not one of the other 3.74 billion web sites out there.
Do not expect much of my web site to teach you the kinds of things that you learn in a conventional church. This is what you have mainstream type churches, pastors and evangelists for. I will leave it up to them to tell you what is accepted by the mainstream and tell you all of the things that you can't do today. The desire of my heart is to simply speak truth and express it here on this site, as the Lord gives it to me.
As you read through my pages expect God to speak to you. Expect me to prophesy and bear witness to your calling, as well as allow the Holy Spirit to speak confirmation and truth into your life. I pray not to hold anything back or to care (when it comes to truth), what some mainstream religious organizations have already taught you. This includes any tradition or doctrine that satan may have already used to hold you captive at your own will, and/or snared you and kept you from some living or quickening truth for your walk.
If you are reading the Bible and God is revealing things to you that nobody else seems to understand, don't be afraid. As in all things, you get what you put into it. What you sow, you will also reap. You need to understand that most people are sowing a couple hours on Sunday (maybe even another couple hours midweek), BUT, you can hardly expect them to have the real book of acts type experience or lifestyle that God is starting to show you. You should also be aware that many spiritual landmarks have been replaced with religion (or religious practices) and have lost their true meaning. In the average Church experience today: there is not much corporate worship; corporate prayer; etc.. While you may crave spiritual fellowship and continued ministry, you find people talking about everything else but the things that your spirit craves to hear or experience. Conventional Church has lost the true meaning of "Church" (the gathering - Greek: ekklésia) and what it really means to minister the Spirit.
A friend of mine (Dennis) says that "church" (in our days) is like the "synagogue" in the old Bible (book of acts) times. You may have not realized that while the disciples and apostles could hear Moses preached every Sabbath (Acts 15:21) this was kind of like going to "church" for them one day a week. [I like to fantasize myself that Christians gathered together in a larger assembly on the first day of the week to testify of all the great things that God did when they witnessed for Christ at the synagogue the day before].
In Hebrews 3:13 (daily) was talking about the actual assembling of Christians together (not to be forsaken) as seen in Hebrews 10:25). The exhortation in Hebrews 3:13 and 10:25 is a manifestation of the Spirit and is the same as the "word of exhortation" spoken of in Hebrews 13:22. This manifestation through the Spirit is also taught by Paul and included as part of the vocal gift of prophecy to be manifested in the assembly as seen in I Corinthians 14:3. Here in this verse Paul mentions three vocal or word gift manifestations associated with prophecy. Paul teaches that when we prophesy, we are either speaking a word of exhortation, a word of edification or a word of comfort. The writer of the letter to the Hebrews said that he wrote a small letter, so allow the supernatural gift manifestation of the "word of exhortation". This in the writers context would allow the Holy Spirit gift to supplement what he felt was not being supplied in his "small letter". Today we can understand or see this manifestation taking place while listening to the preaching the word. However my personal end times vision would be this on steroids, allowing everyone to use "the gift" (their spiritual variations) and not only one single person (like in a conventional church meeting). Spiritual variations would also include other Spirit manifestations of spiritual songs (I Corinthians 14:15); Psalms, doctrines, tongues, interpretations and even revelations as seen in I Corinthians 14:26. Also: "If any thing be "revealed" (Greek:apokalýpto to receive revelation) to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted" (I Corinthians 14:30-31). So as not to get to much off topic right now, I will just say that as you read my site more, you will understand (as well as get a more perfect vision of) my revelation and vision of how the first century church functioned concerning spiritual gifts.
When I first "got saved" (or started my journey to come to know God), it all started with one single word from him. This word came to me at the same time teaching me that the Gospel of God: His Wisdom, His Light, His Power, and His Word were hidden from me (because of my own choices, or at my own will). I said my first prayer in my entire life. I never really prayed before and I never before even entertained the thought that there really might actually be a "god". I prayed: "God if you are really there, then let me understand your word" (which I had tried to read a few times before).
Then (and only then), I was able to understand my first word and revelation which was: "Turn you at my reproof: 'behold', I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you." (Proverbs 1:23). It was truly a miracle! It was like magic to me: As I 'turned' to him, I 'beheld' his glory as 'he poured out his spirit' and I was able to understand 'his words' for the first time in my life. I might add that this was a VERY "personal" and REAL "experience", that did not stop as God showed me one more verse after another.
All through my site you will begin notice where I call special attention to "the math". The above is one good example of a type of experience that anyone can have, where we all just need to sit back and "do the math". You can do this math in your own head, or just sit back in AWE as you give it over to God in simple trust. There are so many different ways to compound the math that it only proves the more of God "stepping" in, which we then recognize and automatically calculate in our minds and heart as "random independent (and/or coupled together with multiple dependent/conditional) compound event probability". Here in this experience I asked God and then trusted him for the answer when I opened the Bible and tried to read. The whole verse was not understood to me all at once, it was really foggy for maybe just under a minute as it came into focus. "Behold" was an experience and then the promise that he would continue to make his words known to me, I must admit was mind blowing. However, this verse may not have hit home as much to someone else under different circumstances, or for me without my initial question and plead to him. Also I have to understand that there are others that can read the verse and not see it as anything special at all, being just another promise in the word trying to speak to their seared conscience or make it known to their numb or sleeping spirit. "For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it" (Hebrews 4:2). My spirit came to life when I read those words for the first time only because of the intervention of God's grace which brought forth the hope (or the solid substance) of faith so easily seen and confirmed in the actual math of the experience.
There are 31,240 verses in the Bible if you include the 137 verses that are unnumbered, so if we were keeping it all really simple I just won a lottery with the odds of 31,240 to 1. However, it is not this simple at all. In fact when we look at this and understand it with a simple mind of truth, it just got a whole lot more complicated. God is all about a just weight and balance. His word and everything that he does is all tried and true. Every place we try and disprove, it only makes a more sure case and study. For example: Someone might think that by dividing the number of these verses into how many have to deal with God revealing his word (which may be a handful), that they can take a small part away from the odds to disprove. However, all they have done is bring up a question to now compound two (and more) math entities together (making the odds actually grow instead of shrink).
Let me explain in short: Why this verse and not one of the others from the handful? So now we are forced to come up with comparatives (assumptions) of other verses and many more reasons why this verse was the most perfect for the actual need at the time. However now each reason only now serves to compound and re-compound the math again and again to enforce or make or begin to lay the foundation to support the most impossible odds (now axioms brought about through the compound math). The math is already compound together with many other circumstances: What I was doing at the time; If I was doing what I was normally doing during that time it could not had happened at all; The grace of God stepping into my life which caused me to question that which was not normal for me. This is because normally experiencing what I was at the time I would always be extremely happy and boosted with self power. God had caused me to experience something against my nature and previous experience and knowledge, which was his divine intervention. Now what are the odds and possibilities of this all taking place. I am saving space by not getting into the actual story right here along with it's mathematical cracks and crevices, just to give you a simple glimpse of what you are in for as we move on into the actual math of many different types of testimonies.
It is my hope that when I share the math in my testimonies, you will realize how easy it is and then start doing your own math. By seeing what God does and how he does it, we can see HIM and his steps in our life more clearly. The Bible says that we are not (or should not be) ignorant of the devils devices (II Corinthians 2:11), neither should we be "willingly ignorant" of any opportunity to see God by understanding his ways or devices more perfectly.
After first coming to know God, I started my hunt in the world of religion and the so many different Christian denominations and independent Churches, in hopes to find the same truth that I was witnessing while reading what Jesus and his early disciples taught. I guess I should tell you up front, that I did not find it in completeness anywhere that I looked. My only guide was the Bible and what people were saying that it meant, while being compared to what I felt God was saying to me. God taught me his perfect wisdom while I watched people trying to cram square pegs into round holes. The beginning of Wisdom says if it does not fit, turn it a bit and try it again. If it still does not "work" try another hole. Perfect Wisdom figures it out in the mind first, while looking at all sides and then measuring closely while slowly fitting the pieces together. Without a balanced open mind of truth there can be no fellowship (read Hebrews chapters five and six). If you are not willing to change or grow up you will remain on the milk having need to be taught again and again until you can grasp fundamental principles. These basics do not need to be hard, sometimes all we need is for someone to start the teaching process for us. Rules, weights and balances are put into place for our own safety until we are ready to receive perfect truth and then let Him wield His perfect power.
I have much more then a single testimony to share, I have a way of life and a life of experiences that testify that God is real beyond any shadow of anyone's doubt. To me it is all about math. The figures do not lie. Using math along side of my life and experiences, there is no room for doubt. I am here to testify that each one of us can have a REAL two way interactive relationship with a living God. Not only is this possible, HE has already made the provision for it -- And it can all start RIGHT NOW!


The morning started off with Chanel's latest cruise collection, staged in Seoul and full of plenty of brights (plus Gisele, who sat front row). An initial glance at the snaps might trick you into thinking that the models' eyes had a triangular spot of shadow under the lower lid, but that's a total fake-out. Rather, it's a sliver of falsies placed directly in the center of the eye. Brows were also accented with two pencil swipes directly above and below the hair.
Beyond the cool eye tricks, there's that nearly perfect orangey-red lipstick. It's a divine shade for spring and summer and helped carry through the collection's overall message of peppy brights (seriously, check out pics 1, 5, and 6). We're hunting around for the official color name, and once we've got it, we'll share!
What do you think? Love the eye detail? Obsessed with the lip color?

SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos  est un jeu de combat publié par Playmore, sorti en 2003 sur Neo-Geo MVS et Neo-Geo AES (NGM 269).

L'ambition du jeu est de réunir le meilleur des jeux de combat Capcom et SNK, mais contrairement à la série Capcom vs. SNK qui était développée par Capcom, ce titre conserve une touche « SNK ».

SNK vs. Capcom a été adapté sur PlayStation 2 et Xbox mais n'a pas obtenu un succès équivalent à Capcom vs. SNK.

Système de jeu
SVC Chaos utilise un système de boutons identique à la série King of Fighters, à savoir quatre boutons pour les coups de pied / poing forts ou faibles, un système de cancel et de charge. À la différence de Capcom vs. SNK les parades aériennes sont impossibles et le groove system n'a pas été retenu. Les personnages sont dotés d'une barre de furie à trois niveaux se remplissant à chaque coup porté ou reçu, ceci permettant de réaliser des desperation moves ou des exceeds (coups spéciaux puissants). De plus quelques personnages issus de jeux existants sont dotés de nouveaux sprites et voient certains des mouvements associés à leurs coups spéciaux  modifiés.

Personnages
Il est possible de choisir parmi 24 personnages différents (12 par camp). Les boss peuvent également être débloqués au moyen d'un code. Selon ses performances et le personnage choisi, le joueur peut affronter différents boss et assister à des fins alternatives.

Q: jQuery: preventDefault on parent link only SOLUTION:
Found a solution.
Used parentNode:
$('.skaftetopmenu-li > a').click(function(e) {
   e.preventDefault();
   var subid = $(this.parentNode).attr('id');
   if (subid !="forsidemenu"){
      var str = $('#submenu-content-'+subid).html();
      if ($.trim(str) == ""){
         $('.submenu-content', this.parentNode).load('http://' + skafte.base_url + '/inc/top-menu-subs/'+subid+'_submenu.html');
      }
   }
});

I have a menu like this:

    Link title parent

Link title child

I have tried the following in jQuery:
$('.parent').click(function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
});

However this disables all the  elements in the whole menu structure. I want to only disable the parent links. The ones in "ul li", and not the links in "ul ul li", but I can't figure out how and I have searched and searched. So please help me out!

EDIT: Thank you for the answers. I thought I would simplify my code in the question but that actually didn't benifit me. So heres the actual code I'm using:
$('.skaftetopmenu-li').click(function(e) {

   var subid = $(this).attr('id');

   if (subid !="forsidemenu"){

      var str = $('#submenu-content-'+subid).html();

      if ($.trim(str) == ""){

         $('.submenu-content', this).load('http://' + skafte.base_url + '/inc/top-menu-subs/'+subid+'_submenu.html');
      }
   }
});

And the HTML:

   <a href="http://<?php echo DOMAIN?>/priser.php">Priser & Sortiment

If I try to do as you suggest and set it to:
$('.skaftetopmenu-li > a').click(function(e) {
   e.preventDefault();

It doesn't work..

A: Similar to Austin Mullins' answer, I think you want this:
$('li.parent > a').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
});

A: Try this:
$(".parent > ul > li > a").click( function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    // ...
});

The > only matches immediate children of the previous tag.

A: This works for me on jsbin:
$('.parent>a').on('click', function( e ){
   e.preventDefault();
} );
