NBA Naming Mvp After Michael Jordan As High Awards Reimagined
NBA Renames MVP Trophy After Bulls Legend Michael Jordan
Second, it was a tall task to be a professional player in your staff day in and day trip and nonetheless commit sufficient time to consider the MVP and who they had been going to vote for.
The voting for probably the most prestigious award in the league may be very organized, with a hundred of the league's media members making up the voting pool.
He actually was an excellent participant, and his greatness was sustained over a protracted period of time, meaning that he was constantly great versus being one of the best for a brief window and then falling off in his performance.
A two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and nine-time NBA All-Defensive Team choice, Olajuwon is the league's all-time leader in blocked shots and ranks ninth in steals.

NBA Names MVP Trophy After Michael Jordan
The 15-degree angle of the bottom is a nod to Jordan's 15-season profession. It actually was a journey for Jordan, enduring the potholes and flat tires of despair and disappointment on the road to success. He was denied by the greats of the sport, Bird, Johnson, Isiah Thomas.

The MVP trophy honors Jordan's illustrious career, which included six NBA championships throughout his 13 seasons with the Bulls. Widely thought-about the best player in league historical past, Jordan acquired eleven All-NBA honors and 14 All-Star choices and won 10 scoring titles.
In addition to the 5 MVP awards, he was named NBA Finals MVP six times, Defensive Player of the Year in 1988 and Rookie of the Year in 1985. The All-Star game MVP was named for Kobe Bryant, who was one of many great showmen of the sport and somebody who at all times stood out among his fellow stars.
The Finals MVP was named for Bill Russell, the winningest group player of all time who represented one of the best in staff excellence that led to championships.
Pels Look Like True Contender In West
The cherry on high for Curry this season was notching the NBAs finest regular-season report ever, because the Warriors finished 73-9.
Curry additionally set the very best points per game mark whereas capturing 50 % from the sector, 40 percent from three, and 90 percent from the free-throw line and have become the primary unanimous MVP in NBA history.
One of essentially the most dynamic scorers the league has ever seen, it's virtually mystifying that James Harden only has one MVP award.

In his first MVP season, Steph Curry inserted himself as a family name. Routinely hitting insane pull-up threes from 30+ toes, Curry modified the panorama of the NBA forever. Curry would go on to win his first NBA title this season, solidifying himself in the upper-echelon of NBA greatness.
"The NBA Conference Finals characterize the final hurdle a staff must face for an opportunity to make it to the large stage, the NBA Finals," Johnson said in an announcement to Yahoo Sports. "I'm really honored to have my name memorialized on the Western Conference Finals Most Valuable Player Trophy."
Each Layer Incorporates Tribute To Bryant
The trophy stands 23.6 inches tall, representing Jordan's jersey quantity and number of NBA championships . Not that much wasn't expected since Jordan was an NCAA champion at the University of North Carolina and star of the 1984 gold medal profitable USA Basketball team. But it was an era of centers in the NBA and Jordan was not the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft.
Guards had never been the dominant player on a championship group and two facilities had been chosen earlier than him. As a lot because the good capturing of Stephen Curry has change the arc of expertise in the NBA, it was Jordan's impact which obtained teams believing they could link up a scoring guard with successful a championship.
So there's no precise statistical measure be it points—now held by Abdul-Jabbar with James second and Karl Malone third—championships or MVP awards that determines the most effective player of alltime.
The name badge is six-sided, one for each of his championships. The base is shaped at a 15-degree angle; he performed 15 NBA seasons. The NBA, more than any other professional league, thrives on star power.
Now these awards are named in honor of the gamers who most embody what they symbolize. Yet in each case, the award itself is synonymous with its new namesake.
The Michael Jordan Trophy: NBA MVP Renamed After The Greatest Player Of All-time
The high of the trophy is two inches high, for the two NBA Finals MVP trophies he received with the Lakers. The seven inch high layer pays tribute to the 2007 All-Star MVP award Bryant won, and the 24 stars around the exterior trophy symbolize the second quantity he wore with the Los Angeles.
What higher approach to finish the final dance than with a league MVP and NBA championship. Ending his GOAT resume with 5 MVPs and 6 championships, Michael Jordan stands alone at the top of the NBA mountain. In his first year with the Phoenix Suns, Steve Nash turned around the franchise in unthinkable ways.

Garda Death
By AM Saturday, January 26, 2013
The killing of Garda Adrian Donoghue in Louth, described by the Taoiseach as 'cold blooded murder', hardly qualifies as anything other than an act of wanton brutality that has sent a deluge of anger coursing through Irish society.
Detective Garda Donoghue was gunned down as he moved to intervene in a robbery. Not yet having drawn his own weapon he seems to have stood little chance. His colleagues are said to be trying to establish 'if subversives, dissidents, or members of a criminal gang were responsible for the raid.' He is the first Garda to be gunned down on duty in seventeen years although other members of the force have died in violent incidents, on occasion losing their lives while trying to stop fleeing vehicles.
Anne McCabe, the wife of Garda Jerry McCabe killed by the IRA in 1996, sent her condolences to the family of the dead man. She commented that 'it is 17 years later on and history is repeating itself. We all thought those dark days were left behind.' As decent and humane as this sentiment is the harsh facts remain. Dark days are an omnipresent in police life. It is the nature of the profession. The darkness might not always snuff out the light of life but it will forever be there. Did such days not exist there would arguably be little need for policing.
Gardai, like police officials elsewhere, will continue to be killed in the line of duty. In some senses An Garda Siochana is fortunate to have gone so long without this type of fatality. They are no safer from the callous indifference of those who kill them than police in Manchester where two young female officers lost their lives in a violent attack last year. They are placed at the dark coal front and occasionally take the ultimate hit doing their job.
The gratuitous wilfulness of last night's killing where no quarter was given can only fuel outrage and amplify calls for the judiciary to be more punitive, with a concomitant deleterious effect on civil liberties: less rights for the public and more powers for the police, a precarious asymmetry for any society to straddle.
Most armed robbers seem to have the sense to scarper before seriously harming anybody. But if they go out with arms whatever their intent or accompany those that do, they can never rule out the possibility that those arms might be used with fatal consequences. And if a gun is fired at a Garda's head the intent is not to scare or injure.
There is nowhere in Ireland today where it is okay to gun down members of the police, neither here in the South or in the North where killing cops was long endorsed during the years of political turmoil by one of the main political parties in the Stormont Executive: a situation which served to weaken the moral opprobrium towards killing police, even those doing the most necessary and politically neutral societal tasks. That opprobrium has long existed and has never abated in the South where there remains a widespread identification with the Gardai that I never witnessed with police in the North. When a member of the RUC was killed I never had the experience that 'one of ours had been killed.' This hostility seems to have diluted in recent years but back then the force was something alien. Down here things are very different. When a Garda is killed he is very much regarded as our own. In the North safe refuge was often available for those who killed police. In the South there is no hiding place, no ambigutiy. Try describing a Garda as a 'legitimate target' and the response will be as if you just called a black person a 'lazy smelly nigger.'
The type of killing carried out last night is bereft of all justification. It comes without the mitigation that could often be proffered up North during its conflict years. For all their shortcomings the police are democratically constituted by society. It is virtually impossible to conceptualise a reasonably safe society without police. A police force, despite its coercive function and arguably because of it, is as indispensable to any society as the medical profession. It makes no more sense to shoot police officers in a democratic society than it would to shoot doctors.
Any police force in a democratic society may be troublesome, even abusive, if we fall foul of it. We may disagree with the police, often oppose their methods, and protest against them, feeling their power is draconian and their accountability deficient. They may even be legitimately regarded as political opponents because they stand on the opposite side of the barricade from the radicals. But the notion that killing police is some sort of solution that adds anything to society is a heinous fiction.
The type of police force we should face as citizens is one where they instil in us the same level of apprehension as would the tax man, something maybe to be avoided in the interests of privacy but never to be killed.

The Louth TD Gerry Itwasntme was on the news earlier calling on people with information no matter how small to pass it on to the psni...some times I wonder were we all in some sort of trance during those dark years...
frankie 10:27 PM, January 26, 2013
At the end of the day, rightly or wrongly it's part of the risk of the job.
Much in the same way all IRA volunteers are told chances are you'll be shot dead or jailed for yrs.

It's unbelievable to say the least, maybe Gerry is in the Illumanati, and mass hypnotised us all.

That's a great article. I watched a thing about Whitey Bulger in Boston and his FBI connection. There's certainly more than a whif of the same antics going on in the SF leadership and those two top dogs in particular. In fact, never mind a whif, the stink is unbearable.

I'm always a bit guarded when reading Ingrams stuff to be honest. I think he regurgitated a lot of stuff that was already very much in the public domain.
Having said that, I don't disbelieve him, just mindful of what he was, maybe even still is, when I see anything he writes. For all we know he could be still part of the establishment, trying to influence.

We need some damn gun control in Ireland! What is it with the out of control gun culture in the Emerald Isle?
Ryan; 'We need some damn gun control in Ireland! What is it with the out of control gun culture in the Emerald Isle?'
A tad early for sarcasm perhaps?
AM 1:39 PM, January 30, 2013
you are absolutely right. It is needed everywhere. The answer to gun nuts is not more guns
Niall 3:37 PM, January 30, 2013
As the days have progressed since the murder of Garda Donoghue there would appear to be more to this than that of a robbery initially thought to have gone wrong – it would seem that the objective of the robbery was not to rob but to lure and kill and so the question is why?
Recall, this was apparently deliberate, it wasn't, as in the case of Garda McCabe a wounding shot that lead to a fatality (is it possible to fire a shotgun to inflict a wound to the head with the intention of incapacitating the victim – temporarily that is!) so therefore can we deduct that there is an ulterior motive for the murder and if it is directly aimed at O'Donoghue then why or if it is a chilling message to Garda stationed around there then also why? Was this Garda overzealous in his duty and 'interfering' too much in the nefarious activities of the indigenous peoples of the border region? I think a bit of investigative journalism in to Garda O'Donoghue and his colleagues may turn up the answer that the press have yet to print….
Why go to the bother of murdering a Garda and only take the smallest cache of money available...a token gesture perhaps? It certainly wasn't done in panic, now was it?
Surely the retribution that will come will be worse than a plague of locusts – nefarious activities may have to be postponed for the foreseeable future I believe!!!!
larry hughes 1:49 PM, January 31, 2013
'We need some damn gun control in Ireland! What is it with the out of control gun culture in the Emerald Isle?'
Cracker!! our problem was always we never had enough guns and then when we did our 'leaders' gave em away for wee jobs and big houses seemingly.
Adams used yesterday,s funeral to issue an apology for the killing of members of free state forces, the cunning bastard knew that to criticise that would attract the comment that one was a supporter of whoever killed this garda, the west Belfast deserter has made a fortune out of illegality and some of that included murder his comments and timing are as grossly offensive to those who support the state and those who believe the state has usurped them,no apology from the state has ever been forthcoming for Ballyseedy,the heavy gang or lack of justice for the relatives of the Dublin or Monaghan bombings,Adams has become a crawling lackey like De Rossa and co before him, his comments make me puke, I condemn that gardas murder for the complete waste that it is and unlike Adams not for some opportunistic media byte that may ingratiate himself with his new found cronies in the Dail.
this is the point. If his apology was not for reasons of sheer opportunism he would stop lying that he was not on the army council at the time Gerry McCabe was killed. But of course, it was somebody else's army that did it. He was a prince of peace.
He apologised not because he gives one toss about Gerry McCabe or his family but because he considers it politically disadvantageous not to apologise.
Then he will go around bad mouthing Gerry McCabe to the grunts - 'conned the Dail, lads, what do you think of that?'
And Jimmy Savile was accused of having groomed a nation.
Perfect Anthony "grooming a nation"and fooling no one
I think this apology is to pave the way for the 'big apology'
And after that, next stop Westminster.
Boyne Rover 8:45 PM, January 31, 2013
For years I wondered was there no one else in the West Belfast area that could represent the good people of the Falls and Andersontown , but sadly not and then what happened, Co Louth inherited him, he came into the Wee County all guns blazing (pardon the pun) and continued to give the people his well rehearsed Ballymurphy tripe, he shafted one of the best representatives the Cooley peninsula has ever had in the Dail , Arthur Morgan Sinn Fein.
The great peace maker has vomited out his gibberage to all that would listen about how great he is.
But how a week can change and show the real person that struts his stuff in Cooley.
Dolours Price was found dead, she was formerly a great friend of Gerry's and the great one declares he wont be attending her funeral ????
Garda Adrian Donahue is slaughtered by thugs who believe its their right to rob the community of their hard earned money.
Both these incidents caused great pain for a lot of people for different reasons , the first hurdle Gerry crossed easily because he had convinced all his lambs that Dolours was a liar end of
But in the second which happened to one of his own constitutes, has caused him a lot of trouble and will for a long time
Because Adrian was not only a Garda , he was a member of the GAA in the area which brings out an even greater feeling of revulsion.
Gerry had to move quickly and the best he could muster was to apologise for the murder of Garda McCabe. When he stood up in the Dail to announce that he was apologising on behalf of republicans for the murder of Gerry McCabe he was only thinking of himself and most certainly not Anne McCabe, why he thought Anne would now want to hear such insincerity at this most inappropriate time when he has spent the past 17 years telling downright lies beggars belief.
Former PRO Sinn Fein attends Dolours Price funeral , why would he attend after the bad things she said about Gerry who Danny once said he completely believed ??????
Boyne Rover; what was the story with Arthur Morgan? Was he sidelined?
To be honest, I can see why Adams didn't attend Dolours funeral. One, he wasn't wanted and is cute enough to know he'd have been told to GTF had he weighed in, but secondly - and regardless of how close he and Dolours once were, she called him out and he most likely despised her for this
As well as the fact she showed him up by remaining true to herself and republicans and even he'd have a brass neck to show up.
Re; the PRO showing up - he got a new hat and wanted to show it off.
Belfast Bookworm
Arthur had the safest Sinn Fein seat in the 26 counties, to appease the Leaders appetite for power at any cost Arthur was pushed aside and Gerry stepped safely in, The Sinn Fein Leader has forgotten that he got elected on the back of a failed Fianna Fail government and not because he was just Gerry Adams
Danny forty hats
Belfast Bookworm 10:19 PM, January 31, 2013
Boyne Rover; cheers. Didn't know what happened there.
But you got that last bit wrong - he's only three hats, but forty faces.
Boyne Rover 10:30 AM, February 01, 2013
I think I have uncovered the perfect description for Danny how about the Rubik Cube
Belfast Bookworm 12:14 PM, February 01, 2013
Boyle Rover; the Rubik Cube. I have heard about that phenomena - but being too young to remember it myself I will take your word that its an apt description!
michaelhenry 11:24 PM, February 01, 2013
Anyone see pictures of the Garda's funeral-a black rubber band was wrapped over the coffin and national flag when a few drawing pins instead would have shown a lot more respect-
Boyne Rover 5:15 PM, February 02, 2013
Michaelhenry
I always believed you were from some part of this island and you supported Sinn Fein, but after making a such a statement just made makes think you are from some other part of the world or else you live here but never go outside your house, or maybe you seething because Gerry Adams apologised to the people of the Republic of Ireland for the slaughter of members of their police force when it really should have come from a member of the Provisional IRA
PS check the weather forecast for last Wednesday in Co Louth
AM 5:56 PM, February 02, 2013
Boyne Rover,
it was the type of foot in the mouth comment that Michaelhenry is prone to make. Gerry told him it was sunny last Wednesday and he believed it.
On your point that a member of the PIRA should have made that apology I would argue that the most important commander in the history of PIRA made the statement in the Dail last week. How many gardai were killed while he was on the army council? Here are five for starters:
Henry Byrne
Frank Hand
John Morley
Garry Sheehan
Jerry McCabe
That is why his apology does not amount to a hill of beans. It is deceitful, the intent was to conceal rather than reveal. Apologising while abdicating responsibility is a luxury for him and an insult to the families of the dead he is trying to con.
There is no end to what this person has inflicted on people the length and breadth of this country. He really needs to move off screen and allow decency to breathe.
michaelhenry 7:40 PM, February 02, 2013
Boyne Rover-
I Know it was windy during the funeral thats why i said drawing pins should have been used- juat to throw a big black rubber band over the flag shows no respect for their dead colleague- its just an opionion of mine-
" it really should have come from a member of the Provisional IRA "
I dont see how-the Provos are at peace with the world-they are no more-they no longer exist-read a paper once in a while and find out whats going on-
marty 7:45 PM, February 02, 2013
Exactly Anthony and the question that I think should be asked of the whistling Brownie,is on whose behalf exactly was he issuing that apology on,did for example the now defunct AC reconvene and if so under what authority and who elected them? or did he offer it as president of Q$£ who to my certain knowledge never killed anyone therefore making his apology irrelevant,do you catch my drift a cara?.
James 7:55 PM, February 02, 2013
Any Thespian would have been proud of that "superficial apology". It was presented and delivered at on the best publicity circuit in the free state. ie the Dail. The sole purpose of it was not to express remorse,regret or solidarity with the Garda family. It was purely political, to edge closer to the fainna fail in the terms of so-called respectability in the south. It also illuminates the Narcissistic personality disorder of the man in which it is a personality disorder in which the individual is described as being excessively preoccupied with issues of personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity of himself. Again, there will be no bounds to a person with this disorder.
I really need to start proof reading these posts. Sorry for the last sentence. lol. the ole red wine on the go.
Dixie 8:40 PM, February 02, 2013
How pathetic is correct.
A quick apology for the killing of Garda McCabe then here I am at the funeral of Garda Donoghue. I the bringer of peace to Ireland. The cameras see me; a funereal leader among leaders, I share their disgust, the cameras must record that and show it later.
I also share their hypocrisy but they won't allow me to share it with them. I must stand outside their circles and be pointed at. Ridiculed.
Bastards! I brought peace, the cameras know that.
The cameras also record that I am not attending the funeral of the Republican Dolours Price; a dastardly dissident. My place is now here among the leaders, for I am a leader too.
I lead the peace process, it is my peace process. I lead the way in campaigning for the removal of the border.
I also led a generation of young Republicans to early graves or long years in prison for a 32 County Socialist Republic and not a border poll.
I know most of the graveyards in Ireland, the cameras recorded my presence in them - at the graves.
This is where I am today, in a graveyard; the cameras are here too. And so are the other leaders.
"Unscrupulous politicians and so called 'Peacemakers' "
Was it really I who said that?
frankie 8:59 PM, February 02, 2013
Michael, what part of they are poking fun a Gerry Adams can't you understand? How can Gerry Adams (as you pointed out and several others long before you) claim to speak for an Army that he wasn't involved in or no longer exists? I can't speak for former (or present) members of the PRM simply because I wasn't a member (neither was Gerry)
You should learn to proof read and think about what you say before hitting 'publish'. Maybe (give you the benefit of doubt), in your head your ideas and arguments make sense but on 'paper' they don't..
Information you might need , sorry but windy it might have seemed but actually it was blowing an absolute Hooley, rain and wind lashing down for most of the service. Drawing pins would have been as useful as an ash tray on a motor bike, the black rubber might have looked unsightly but what would the criticism have been if the flag had blown off and flew down the Castletown River.
Cheers and thanks for letting us all know that the Provo's are no longer with us, who told you, was it Gerry and the Peacemakers
Ryan 3:23 AM, February 03, 2013
"Cracker!! our problem was always we never had enough guns and then when we did our 'leaders' gave em away for wee jobs and big houses seemingly."
I'm just hoping for your sake that our pal Piers Morgan isn't heading over to Ireland to take up his anti gun crusade. It is all he ever talks about. Remember, when seconds count the police are only minutes away!
AM 10:27 AM, February 03, 2013
I think there is much in what you say about that narcissistic personality disorder.
Belfast Bookworm 10:45 AM, February 03, 2013
James; I'd agree with you. Some of the symptoms of this disorder are (as well as arrogance, need to dominate and seize power);
Reacting badly to criticism. Tick.
Lacking empathy. Tick.
Exaggerating own achievements. Tick.
Fantasising about things that never happened at all. Tick
I knew to evening psych class I took would pay off some day.
marty 12:40 PM, February 03, 2013
I disagree with James prognosis re the bearded one I dont think he is narcissistic. more necrophiliac!

Your Voice Matters – Make a call "Save Snappers, Fix the Pipe" Snappers Sports Bar and Grill has been a thriving family sports bar and family restaurant in the Waikiki area for over 5 years now. A fun place for all ages. We have added so many employees and customers to our family over the years. Now we need you help! Recently a main sewer line in discovery bay, which is the complex where Snappers resides, broke. There is a break in pipe, which has been photographed and documented to exist under the foundation. Raw sewage gets pumped through the drains and floods in our kitchen, bathrooms, and bar area. This has caused us to close down to avoid any health concerns for our customers, our friends, our employees, and our family. The Commercial Landlord and building has decided to not act on this issue as an emergency matter and will not cooperate with Snappers to fix the pipe. All we are asking is, Make a Call or send an Email. Say "Save Snappers, Fix the Pipe". This issue should be addressed and dealt with in a timely matter, but the urgent matter is being drawn out and ignored. Snappers will not reopen until the pipe is fixed, as I hope everyone would agree raw sewage coming up through the drains in a kitchen is unsanitary. We ask for the support of our family, our friends, our patrons, our customers, and people who have not even been to Snappers yet, voice your opinion. Your voice counts, "Save Snappers, Fix the Pipe" We all need to do our part in order to get this resolved, get your friends, family, co-workers and spread the words "Save Snappers, Fix the Pipe".

dc.description Includes bibliography. en_ZA
dc.description.abstract The aim of this study was the design and implementation of an interactive decision support system, assisting a single decision maker in reaching a satisfactory decision when faced by a multicriteria decision making problem. There are clearly two components involved in designing such a system, namely the concept of decision support systems (DSS) and the area of multicriteria decision making (MCDM). The multicriteria decision making environment as well as the definitions of the multicriteria decision making concepts used, are discussed in chapter 1. Chapter 2 gives a brief historical review on MCDM, highlighting the origins of some of the more well-known methods for solving MCDM problems. A detailed discussion of interactive decision making is also given. Chapter 3 is concerned with the DSS concept, including a historical review thereof, a framework for the design of a DSS, various development approaches as well as the components constituting a decision support system. In chapter 4, the possibility of integrating the two concepts, MCDM and DSS, are discussed. A detailed discussion of various methodologies for solving MCDM problems is given in chapter 5. Specific attention is given to identifying the methodologies to be implemented in the DSS. Chapter 6 can be seen as a theoretical description of the system developed, while Chapter 7 is concerned with the evaluation procedures used for testing the system. A final summary and concluding remarks are given in Chapter 8. en_ZA

It's seldom a politician who lost an election will tell you voters' preference was a plus.
Speak to C. Earl Greer, a candidate for the Republic nomination for the Second Congressional District. He unsuccessfully sought a seat on the Public Regulation Commission two years ago.
"I had no plans on running," Greer recalled of the 2006 PRC bid, "and kind of got talked into it. Kind of, maybe, it turned out to be a blessing. I won the primary. I didn't win the general election. Now I can run for this – this is the seat I've always wanted to run for."
Greer sought the Congressional seat in 2002, when Steve Pearce won. Pearce is now a candidate for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, to fill the chair being vacated by Pete Domenici.
That opened the door for a number of candidates –Republican and Democrat – to file for the Congressional seat. Five Republicans remain in the race – Greer, Aubrey Dunn, Monty Newman, Greg Sowards and Ed Tinsley.
Greer, a Realtor since 1978, lives in Truth of Consequences. He traces his New Mexico roots from the 1500s. He was raised on a ranch in Winston, N.M., in Sierra County.
"In my Real Estate business," he said, "I've probably done work in every county in this district. I'm accustomed to the community, the roads, the area."
The Second District covers much of the stat's southern half, from the Texas to Arizona borders, and goes as far north on the west side to McKinley County.
Greer has found, he said, border and energy issues are among topics on which voters want answers.
"One that resonates with everybody," he said , "is what are we going to do with the border. This is not an immigration issue. It's a defense issue. We need to seal the border for protection, then we can discuss immigration."
Then, there are rising costs of fuel and energy.
"I think there are several things," Greer said. "We've got to find alternative sources of energy."
He suggests nuclear energy as a means of preserving other resources, with solar energy and wind–generated energy as additional alternatives.
The high price of gasoline, he said, is destroying the fabric of the country. Small business, he added, is the engine that drives the economy and small business owners are not sure if they should expand or wait for an improved economic picture.
Married for 31 years, Greer and his wife, Colleen, have four grown children and, in the past year, three grandchildren.

Tesla Cut Car Prices. Here's What Wall Street Is Saying.

Tesla cut prices for its electric vehicles Wednesday in a move that hit the stock. Now Wall Street is weighing in.
Tesla shares dropped $20 on the news, but recovered to grind out a small gain for the day. The volatility reflects the fact that the price cut could signal different things with different implications for Tesla (ticker: TSLA) shares.
On the one hand, reduced prices signal Tesla's costs are coming down. That's good news for the small-volume, fast-growing automotive company. Yet at the same time, it could signal demand for Tesla's cars is starting to falter. That could mean 2021 earnings might be lower than Wall Street expects.
Launch Was Scrubbed but Tesla Got Its Product Placement
NASA Would Be Huge Aerospace Player as a Stock
NIO Earnings Show China's EV Market Is Rebounding
New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu said the cuts are "likely tactical and aimed at supporting demand in the U.S. in the context of today's pandemic," in a Wednesday research note. "It is important to understand the scope of the price cut: It is the model 3, the Model X and the Model S, which all have reached their full potential in the US," he wrote. The new Model Y wasn't affected.
Ferragu rates shares at Buy and has a target of $1,100 for the stock price, the highest on Wall Street. Shares were a touch lower at $817 on Thursday.
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives told Barron's Wednesday he believes the cuts are a smart strategic move and could stimulate more demand in the U.S. Ives rates shares the equivalent of Hold; his price target for the stock is $800.
GLJ analyst Gordon Johnson feels differently. He called the pricing cuts a midnight massacre—they were announced without much fanfare—and said the news signals demand could be falling off a cliff. Johnson rates the stock at Sell, with a price target of $87.
Roth Capital analyst Craig Irwin also fears the cuts signal weak demand. He too rates the stock at Sell, but has a price target of $350.
The divide isn't surprising. Analysts are always split on Tesla stock. Only about one in five analysts covering the company rate the shares at Buy. The average Buy rating-ratio for stocks in the Dow is 55%.
The average target for the stock price among analysts is about $630, far below recent levels, while the average target price implies a gain of about 13% for Dow stocks. Predicting that a stock will fall isn't typical on Wall Street.
In defense of analysts, it has been hard to keep up with Tesla shares. The stock is up 333% over the past 12 months.Year to date, Tesla stock is up about 95%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 are both in the red.
It has been an incredible run.

Pope Francis Sends $100,000 Emergency Funding to Haiti for Hurricane Relief
17 Oct 2016 Posted by Derek Welch
Pope Francis sent $100,000 in hurricane relief funds to Haiti.
An amount of $100,000 is being sent to Haiti by Pope Francis as emergency funding for the country ravaged by Hurricane Matthew. It is an initial contribution from the Vatican, donated through the Pontifical Council Cor Unum. The objective of the money is to support people affected by floods and "is intended as a first and immediate concrete expression of the feelings of paternal spiritual closeness and encouragement of the Holy Father toward the people and territories affected," an October 14, Vatican communique read.
Pope Francis Donates $100,000 to Haiti Relief Efforts
In the Pope's October 7 telegram, he entrusted Haitian citizens to "maternal protection" of the Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
The catastrophic hurricane barreled into Haiti on October 4. Over 1,000 deaths have been reported and thousands displaced. Hurricane Mathew, a category four storm, hit Haiti in the morning at 145 miles per hour. It is regarded as the most powerful storm in the Caribbean region in a decade. The country is still recovering from the 2010 tumultuous earthquake.
The BBC reported 1,000 people have died and thousands have lost everything to nature. Many Haitians living in fishing villages and towns died due to debris, swollen rivers and fallen trees. Many charitable organizations have provided help to Haiti. Assistance is provided with the help of Caritas Haiti and Caritas Internationalis. The latter has launched an appeal for aid to fund the purchase of hygiene and food kits.
The BBC has reported about 1.4 million individuals are in urgent need of assistance. About $120 million has been pledged by the United Nations for medical help, water, sanitation, and shelter. There is also fear of another cholera outbreak like the one that happened following the 2010 earthquake causing 10,000 deaths. 200 cholera cases have been reported and vaccines have been dispatched by World Health Organization.
Pope Francis has entrusted the departed to God's mercy asking the lord to "welcome them into his light."

Training Deep Q-Learning neural network based on ConvNetJS demo to use sonar range sensors and RatSLAM goals.

* [ConvNetJS - demo](http://cs.stanford.edu/people/karpathy/convnetjs/demo/rldemo.html)
* [ROSLibJS](https://github.com/RobotWebTools/roslibjs/)
* [RatSLAM fork](https://github.com/mryellow/ratslam) (extended ROS integration)

# Status

Got busy and distracted, it works well enough for direct goal seeking and that may be enough to train up an agent which makes pretty maps in RatSLAM (if not straying too far before turning back). Have some decent [experiments](https://github.com/mryellow/reinforcejs/tree/demo-multiagent) with [ReinforceJS](http://cs.stanford.edu/people/karpathy/reinforcejs/). Finding goals on the other side of walls and traps will require a different implementation, namely Actor-critic and/or Actor-mimic style architectures to get around these opstacles (when a goal can be seen on the other side of a trap).

# Setup

```
npm install
bower install
```

# TODO

* [ ] Teleop.
* [ ] Integrate IMU/tilt/odom feedback.
* [ ] Catkin-ise.

Sexual harassment complaints continue to grow
On behalf of Bohbot & Riles, PC, Attorneys at Law posted in Sexual Harassment on Tuesday, April 30, 2019.
Many employees in California and across the country continue to face serious problems with sexual harassment on the job. Unwanted sexual advances and other types of inappropriate behavior continue to rise, despite the emergence of the #MeToo movement and widespread media attention on the problem. Indeed, since allegations of sexual harassment and abuse against high-profile Hollywood executives hit major news, the number of federal complaints about sexual harassment on the job has escalated significantly.

Advocacy group to focus on sexual harassment in healthcare
On behalf of Bohbot & Riles, PC, Attorneys at Law posted in Sexual Harassment on Tuesday, March 5, 2019.
California residents may have followed the allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein in late 2017 and the #MeToo movement they gave rise to. In January 2018, a group of entertainment industry figures including prominent writers and actors founded a group called Time's Up to address gender-based workplace discrimination. The organization also funds litigation filed against employers by workers who have been discriminated against or harassed due to their gender.

EEOC urges improved training against sexual harassment
On behalf of Bohbot & Riles, PC, Attorneys at Law posted in Sexual Harassment on Monday, October 29, 2018.
Far too many people in Alameda County continue to face sexual harassment on the job despite the rise of the #MeToo movement and the public conversation about unwanted sexual advances at work. The acting chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or EEOC, said that this kind of inappropriate workplace behavior continues to be pervasive and persistent, a common topic of complaints received by the commission. She noted that she was appalled by the volume of sexual harassment complaints received by the agency, indicating the scope of the issue.

Hotel housekeepers at high risk of sexual harassment from guests
On behalf of Bohbot & Riles, PC, Attorneys at Law posted in Sexual Harassment on Friday, July 13, 2018.
Hotel housekeepers in California usually enter rooms alone as they perform their cleaning duties. Unfortunately, this private environment often exposes them to assaults by guests. A survey conducted by the labor union Unite Here found that 53 percent of its members in Chicago and Seattle had experienced sexual harassment on the job.

Basic approaches to reporting sexual harassment
On behalf of Bohbot & Riles, PC, Attorneys at Law posted in Sexual Harassment on Monday, January 22, 2018.
Across California, workers in any industry might experience sexual harassment. A survey conducted by CareerBuilder collected responses from 809 full-time employees in the private sector and concluded that 12 percent of them had been sexually harassed at work. Reporting the behavior to their employers, however, proved to be the exception rather than the rule. Among victims, 72 percent of them stayed silent. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a victim has options for pursuing a remedy.

The federal workplace and sexual harassment
On behalf of Bohbot & Riles, PC, Attorneys at Law posted in Sexual Harassment on Thursday, December 28, 2017.
For a federal employee dealing with sexual harassment in a California workplace, there are a number of guidelines to keep in mind that make reporting it somewhat different from doing so in private industry. Harassment may come from a supervisor, a coworker or someone outside the agency such as a contractor. A person does not have to be the object of the harassment to be considered the victim. A previous relationship between the person who is harassed and the person doing the harassing does not make sexual harassment acceptable. Sexual harassment is not necessarily related to gender or sexual orientation.

How to make sexual harassment policies better
On behalf of Bohbot & Riles, PC, Attorneys at Law posted in Sexual Harassment on Wednesday, December 13, 2017.
Sexual harassment may be a problem for California employers because of a failure to enforce workplace policies related to that issue. In some cases, managers and employees may fail to hold themselves to the standards that they expect others to abide by. Facebook has gone public with its own sexual harassment policy as well as its policy against bullying in the workplace. While it doesn't claim to have all the answers, the company believes that it can help others create better policies.

Following years of bitter political crisis, Côte d'Ivoire is now working to re-establish its political stability and economic pre-eminence in West Africa. Infrastructure in particular is to be upgraded in order to foster neighbouring and international trade. One such measure is to extend the existing A3 highway inland by 132km. The entire new section of road into the centre of the country was designed using card_1.
Within the framework of two national development programmes (National de Développement and Renaissance des Infrastructures en Côte d'Ivoire), Ivory Coast's government resolved to continue development on the A3 highway, which already links the southern economic metropolis of Abidjan with the more northerly capital city Yamoussoukro. The new stretch of road is to go from the capital to Bouaké, the third largest city in the country. It lies in the middle of Ivory Coast and is within reach of Liberia and Guinea to the west, Mali and Burkina Faso to the north and Ghana in the east.
The West African Finance and Currency Union started by hiring H.P. Gauff Ingenieure GmbH & Co KG to conduct a feasibility study. Research to ascertain the best route produced three variations, each complete with full costing including pre-planning and final designs and the corresponding tender documents. In addition to the national highway a further 18.5km of high-speed roadway connecting the highway to the city centres was planned. A two-lane carriageway in each direction was specified (expandable to three lanes) plus a median strip and hard shoulder. The planners had a tight 18 months to complete their designs.
Once the pre-designs were ready, the project was split into two lots. Lot no.1 contained the first 30km of highway plus 6km of connecting/high-speed roadway while lot no.2 involved the remaining 86km of motorway and 11km of connecting road into Bouaké's city centre. Although the project was initially planned as a single unit, as things progressed the client requested the split as only one financial backer was found to finance 30km of new roadway.
Planning proceeded according to the regulatory framework laid down by ICTAAL (Instruction sur les conditions techniques d'aménagement des autoroutes de liaison), the technical guidelines for motorway and overland roadway planning, and ICTAVRU (Instruction sur les conditions techniques d'aménagement des voies rapides urbaines), the regulations for heavily frequented urban areas.
Familiarisation measures for "local residents to get used to the motorway"
1 bridge over the "KAN" dam: 100m.
Despite the extremely tight deadline and the chaos of planning, the work was completed on time thanks to the surveying and design software card_1. Its flexibility was of particular value when adding and checking the numerous additional surveys necessary due to changes in design - right up to two weeks before the deadline. card_1's ability to generate the huge number of designs required also proved an enormous advantage. As was its ability to copy and move alignment groups when designing intersections and market places. These functions were vital to delivering the plans on time. The designs were submitted to the client as pdf or dwg files. The experts working for the local partner HydroCO, responsible for geology, hydraulics and construction, delivered the sketches, the planning was done with card_1.

We all have two sides, two different opinions and different solutions to the everyday situation. They are usually represented by a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. How about a video slot game called Good Girl Bad Girl which uses two girls for the same purpose?
This extraordinary game has several features that might surprise you with their uniqueness, and those are the ones that are inviting players on the reels, so do check it out. If you follow some of our sites on the side, you can see that we offer some super cool bonuses and gratis spins, which will enhance your gameplay and give you a kick start on this game.
Let's check out the awesome design and how the symbols work in Good Girl bad Girl slot.
As we have already mentioned, the game revolves around a good and a bad girl. This means that the whole screen, except the reels, is divided into two parts – one belongs to the good girl where on the left side it's a stairway to heaven and amazing white building, and a statue of a kid angel playing the harp. Everything is blue and white and pleasant to the eye.
On the other side, we can see the bad girl where red and black are dominant colours. There is a large fire, a dark red sky and the highway to hell. The building from the left side of the screen continues, but here it's burned out, and instead of a statue, there is a gravestone.
With mixed music and perfect graphics, this game is surely one of the best theme ideas around.
The symbols are divided into lower and higher valued ones. The lower ones, as in any game, are represented by the deck of cards symbols, starting from 10, and going all the way to the Ace.
Opposite to that, there are four higher valued symbols, which are the two girls and their cats.
In addition to these, there are two Wild Symbols and one Scatter Symbol. The Halo and the Pitchfork are the wild symbols, while the Money Wheel is the scatter one. They use as substitutes and bonus feature activators.
Betsoft thinks that 5 reels and 15 paylines are just enough to satisfy the players, as the high RTP that this game has will ensure there will be whopping wins.
To start playing the game, you need to select a casino on the side of this review. Check out the players' reviews as well as the casino welcome bonuses to make up your mind, or simply click on the top one, as we always put the best option for this game there.
You can set the denomination from £0.01 all the way to £75.00 and you can spin for the Max Win, which is x1,800 your stake!
To ensure you have the best chances of doing so, click on the Bet Max feature which belongs to the dark side of the screen. This will set the denomination, the coin value and a number of paylines all the way to the maximum. This feature is also the only way to win the progressive jackpot, as only through the Bet Max feature you can trigger it and fill its pool. Be careful with this feature, as it can give you quick cash in no time, but it can lose all of your wagered money in the blink of an eye. Either come up with a plan or a limit to your cash or completely neglect this feature.
On the other hand, if you are up for a relaxing gameplay, Auto Play should do the trick. With this option, you set the reels to spin by themselves, with previously set the number of spins and the denomination of the spin. You can always cancel this option if you want to switch back to manual spinning.
There are several bonus features in Good Girl Bad Girl, and one cool option to choose modes while you play:
The players can pick from the three modes that we see in the picture. They are positioned directly under the reels in the middle of the screen.
Good Mode – Lower, but more frequent wins, forming from left to right
Bad Mode – Larger, less frequent wins, forming from right to left.
Both Modes – Wins are formed both ways, but the stack is doubled.
The Halo and the Pitchfork Wild Symbols have two different abilities:
Halo – Appears on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd reel and can be 1x or 2x multiplier
Pitchfork – Appears on 3rd 4th and 5th reel and can be a 1x-4x multiplier.
There is a Click Me feature that appears when the halo and pitchfork land next to each other. Depending on the mode that you are playing with, there will be four different boxes to choose from. Two of them are blowing with small and medium wins, while the other two are plain, with a big win or a "Collect" feature. Either go for the smaller boxes for a guaranteed win or risk it with the plain boxes as the "collect" feature ends the round.
The Scatter symbol called Money Wheel triggers this amazing feature. You need three of them to kick-start it, and once you do this, you will have the chance to spin the reel. Depending on the mode that you are playing with, there will be slightly different awards. Most of the prizes are cash, free spins or either the good or the bad progressive jackpot.
As we just mentioned it, the Progressive Jackpot can be triggered from the Money Wheel only, which is activated when three or more scatter symbols land on the reels.
There are two progressive jackpots in this game, and you can see them at the top of the reels. One belongs to the good side, while other is representing the evil side. You are filling them separately, as you land combinations of the side on the reels.
RTP is short from Return to player, and it indicates the amount of money that the online slot machine returns to the players, in percentages, over a longer period of time. Each slot game has a previously determined RTP and it's regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, making sure all the players receive true numbers when they play.
Good Girl Bad Girl RTP is 97.80%

A fantastic game that gets recognized by the nice graphics and inviting music. Ok joking aside, it has few amazing bonus features, two progressive jackpots and an RTP of 97.80%. Who wouldn't want to spin the reels of this game?


Friday will bring us some proper football action, although not too much.
Friday will bring us some proper football action, although not too much. Round 14 of the English Premier League begins early this week, with Cardiff City meeting Wolverhampton in an open match as early as tomorrow. The game will definitely one of particular interest to behold. Both teams have known struggles. Question is – can they move past those?
And so, the game is definitely one of the more anticipated ones. To speak the truth, we are both fans of Wolverhampton and Cardiff and the teams could use some extra support, the way we see it. Cardiff have had a particularly rough patch this year. They have tanked to the bottom of the League several times and it seems like they won't be re-emerging any time soon.
As to Wolverhampton, you will definitely see them try, although hey have suffered a handful of defeats. Before we go into the specifics, though, let's have a quick look where we can watch the games.
We provide you with reliable live streaming services, which will make it easy to follow any match as it happens live. If you want to experience something different, you can check out the live scores available in the navigation menu. And if you want to watch on the telly, then you can check the list of available TV channels that will be broadcasting the match. It's all there for your benefit and we're proud to let you have a go at it.
If statistics alone is anything to go by, then Cardiff are in trouble. They only have two victories in the EPL so far, having suffered 9 defeats. It's not really peachy as it is, though, they certainly intend to keep competing and give their best.
Wolves on the other hand have 5 draws and 5 victories, having suffered 4 defeats so far. It's not too bad of a score, and they certainly can find their way back to the top 10. Looking at the game as it stands, we certainly feel that Wolves will have a very easy time taming any opposition that may come from Cardiff.
But is it too early to speak like that? We aren't entirely convinced. The match appears to be painfully one-sided to us, and even the skilled leadership of Cardiff's manager wouldn't make much difference.
Throughout the season, the Wolves have been dangerously close to one-upping even better teams than themselves, even if they lost these games. However, the Wolves are here and they exude confidence, knowing that they will benefit superbly from a victory against Cardiff.
One more point to push them further up the ladder board, that's definitely not something they will let go of with an easy heart; nor should they.
The Wolves may indeed be showing slightly worse form as of late, but we are convinced that the team will be prepared to bounce back quite superbly. They know that they must have secured more points so far and the failure to accomplish that is certainly a motivator to strive to achieve something more meaningful, and something better.
Santo is a known enemy to Cardiff, with last year Warnock working himself in a tantrum fit witnessing the cheerful Santo is definitely not the best moment in the history of the teams. The Wolves will seek to score more points in the upcoming match. Cardiff will seek to have their revenge on the team.
If you are betting, you might want to back the Wolves over Cardiff. However, this match will not provide you with the best value out there, so you might want to wait until the weekend when more worthy titles will be available.
We recommend that you give all of these a thorough look-through. This way you will always be on top of the gaming experience and not have a thing to worry about. We do recommend waiting out until the weekend with your choice of teams to back.
If you are still wondering which squad to back, we would recommend you our own favorites in the following write-ups you will find on our pages. Check out our betting tips!

The Tudors: The Horse is Symbolic! Get it?
Previously on The Tudors: Henry married and got rid of a lot of women, had three kids, changed England's religion (kind of), and got old. Bishop Gardiner tried to nail Queen Katherine for heresy, and Henry had Surrey tried and found guilty of treason.
Hey, Natalie Dormer, Maria Doyle Kennedy, and Annabelle Wallis are back in the opening credits! Welcome back, dead wives! I guess we're pretending Katherine Howard didn't exist.

20th Century, Movies, Recap
Gosford Park: Murder, Mayhem, and Manors
It's a new year, which means that Masterpiece Classic is kicking off a new season of costume porn. This year, they're getting the ball rolling with Downton Abbey. A recap of the first part of DA will be up later this week, but until that goes live, you can fill the void with Gosford Park, a movie that has quite a lot in common with DA, including a) a screenwriter (Julian Fellowes), b) similar house-themed titles, c) upstairs/downstairs-style storylines, and d) a star (Maggie Smith, who appears to basically play the same character in both GP and DA). From the sound of it, DA even has a murder mystery subplot, which I'm guessing will end up being somewhat superfluous to the actual story, just as it was in GP, but I may be wrong about that.
Normally, I'd be annoyed by two stories that are so similar, but in this case I'm fine with it because I have a particular soft spot for GP. There's something incredibly addictive about this movie, for me. Maybe it's the fact that I notice something new every time I watch it, because there's so much going on in the ensemble cast, so I never get tired of watching this. And speaking of that cast, it's fun to watch GP because it's a veritable parade of familiar faces and "hey, look who it is!" moments. Margaret Schroeder's Professor McGonagall's lady's maid! And McGonagall's Harry Potter's mom's aunt! Queen Elizabeth (I and II!) is the housekeeper! And this whole thing was written by the Duke of Richmond! It kind of proves my mother's theory that there are only about 30 British actors out there who regularly get work, so you see them all the time. Because of this movie, Love Actually, and the Harry Potter films, you can connect pretty much every single one of those actors to any other in a crazy British version of "6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon". And you'd probably only need two or three degrees to do it.

The Tudors: All or Nothing
Previously on The Tudors: Anne found herself pregnant again and offered Henry her own cousin as a girlfriend. More was thrown in jail for refusing to acknowledge Henry as head of the church.
Henry's reading and wearing what appears to be pirate fashion by Errol Flynn when Cromwell enters and announces Cranmer. Cranmer comes in and informs Henry that they've had a lot of success in convincing people to accept Anne as queen and Henry as head of the church, probably because they were threatened with death and dismemberment if they didn't agree. He doesn't say that last part, but you know it's true. Fisher and More are still holdouts, but Cranmer and Cromwell think they can get them to at least agree to some of it. Henry won't hear it—the guys need to accept all or nothing. Cranmer bows and withdraws, and Cromwell takes the opportunity to try to hand over a letter from Dame Alice, More's wife, who begs for leniency in view of her husband's many years of service. Henry doesn't care, of course, and rants that More, after promising to live a quiet life, continued to write about the king's divorce and even visited Katherine. The horror!

The Tudors: Mr. Softie
Previously on the Tudors: Henry ditched Catholicism, had his marriage to Katherine annulled, and married Anne and crowned her queen just before she gave birth to little baby Elizabeth.
Speaking of little Lizzy, she's being christened by Cranmer, with Mary Boleyn standing by, smiling proudly at her little niece. She takes the wailing baby, who's probably pissed because she's completely naked and those churches were cold. The baby's wrapped up again and paraded past Anne's ladies and the gathered courtiers before being carried back to her mother's room, where Anne's sitting up in bed, ready to take her. The courtiers bow to her and her royal offspring and Anne tenderly kisses the baby's forehead.

The Tudors: First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage…
Previously on The Tudors: The clergy acknowledged Henry as head of the church; More resigned as chancellor as a result. The world's most inept assassin kept trying and failing to kill Anne Boleyn, at the behest of the pope and the emperor. Anne and Henry travel to France and have sex, presumably getting Anne pregnant.
Things start off rough in a courtyard where chickens, assorted livestock, and rude minor nobility mill about. Two men in black velvet, named as the Savilles, start talking shit to a man they call Pennington, who's quick to correct that that's Sir William Pennington, to them. Pennington asks after their master, Boleyn, and that's Lord Rochford to you, Pennington. The Saville who speaks asks after Pennington's master, Brandon. Saville asks if Brandon continues to spread vicious rumors about Anne at court, and if he does, he must be completely suicidal. Just how long does Charles expect Henry's patience to last? He's already banished him from court once for that. Pennington stupidly says that Brandon doesn't want anything to do with the elevation of "the king's whore" and the two Savilles draw their swords at the insult. Pennington draws his own sword and they all start tussling. Man, the Savilles suck. It's two against one in their favor and Pennington still manages to kick their asses and escape, but not before trashing what looks like a random marketplace set u pin the courtyard. As he flees into the palace, some random guy hilariously yells after him that he'd better pay up for the damage.

The Tudors: Paris, Je T'Aime
Previously on The Tudors: Henry was named Head of the Church of England and kicked Katherine out of the palace. The pope essentially put out a hit on Anne which looks like it might actually be going forward. More and Bishop Fisher were nearly poisoned to death, at Boleyn's order.
The camera pushes in on a man playing cards. We don't see his face. He sets out a queen marked with an A and slashes it in half. Subtle, faceless guy.
In parliament, Fisher is urging his fellow clergymen not to give in and answer to any earthly power, because their power has been ordained by God. He adds that the clergy should be free from the threat of assassination as they uphold the sanctity of the church. Boleyn, George, and Cromwell all look uncomfortable, in their places out in the audience. Boleyn mutters to his son that Henry can't continue to allow this sort of seditious talk.

The Tudors: Boiling Point
Previously on The Tudors: All of season one. Henry partied, made and broke treaties all over Europe, and freaked out about not having a son to succeed him. So, he told his right-hand man Wolsey to magically bring about a divorce between Henry and his wife Katherine, so Henry could marry Anne Boleyn. Wolsey failed, was arrested, and committed suicide in one of the most affecting scenes of the entire season. Henry took the news hard, but nonetheless pushed forward with his plan to make himself pope in England, essentially, by forcing through some major religious reforms. This is not going to sit well at all with his heretic-burning chancellor and mentor, Thomas More.
Looks like we've got some new shots in the credits (mostly of Anne Boleyn being crowned) and a couple of new cast members, including Peter O'Toole and the rather unpleasant Hans Matheson. This should be fun.
Season two starts in 1532, in the cavernous royal chapel, which is dark, despite the many candles lit. Henry and Anne are kneeling at the altar, receiving communion. Alone in their private chapels, Katherine and More pray.

The Tudors: Baby, Light My Fire
Previously on The Tudors: Henry failed to get his divorce and blamed it on Wolsey, who found himself kicked out of office and arrested. More took his old job, reluctantly. Anne started to convert Henry.
Well, we might as well just get right to it. We open on Henry masturbating, while leaning on a servant and fantasizing about Anne sewing. That is so utterly not something I needed to see. And also, I hope the guy playing that poor servant fired his agent, because that is the worst few seconds of screentime ever.
Calmer now (and fully dressed), Henry enters his council chamber to meet with the council. He rails about Wolsey's doings, without actually naming him, and names Norfolk President of the Council, along with Brandon, who smirks a little at the announcement. Norfolk takes that with surprising grace. Henry tells everyone they'll reconvene soon to discuss the divorce.

The Tudors: Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall
Previously on the Tudors: The long, hard fall of Cardinal Wolsey began in earnest.
We open at Blackfriars Church, where Wolsey is continuing the trial without Katherine, trying to determine whether or not she and Prince Arthur ever consummated the marriage. He calls up his first witness, Sir Anthony Willoughby, who was part of the prince's entourage on his wedding night. Apparently, the morning after, Arthur asked Willoughby to bring him some ale and mentioned that the night before, he was in the midst of Spain. The audience finds this hilarious; Henry, less so. Willoughby also mentions that Arthur told his friends that it was a good pastime to have a wife. Wolsey says he's pretty sure they have the bloodstained sheets to corroborate Willoughby's story. Excuse me? First of all, who would keep those? For decades? Second, if they did exist, wouldn't they have caused some problems with the original dispensation, since they'd indicate the marriage had been consummated? And finally, who could prove they weren't just a random set of sheets with blood on them? It's not like they had DNA testing back then.

The Tudors: The Beginning of the End
Previously on The Tudors: The Sweating Sickness kicked England's ass. Wolsey and Anne survived; Compton and others weren't quite so lucky.
An artist is looking through a magnifying glass at Henry and Katherine, who appear to be sitting for a miniature. Henry, what did I say about the mixed messages?
Meanwhile, Wolsey's in his study when a servant enters and announces Cardinal Campeggio, the pope's representative in the divorce case. Campeggio enters slowly, using a cane and leaning on an assistant. Wolsey greets him with a hug and calls him Lorenzo, so clearly they've been friends for a while. Campeggio apologizes for his immobility—he has gout, apparently. The two cardinals sit down near the fire and Wolsey tells Campeggio that Henry wants the court to be set up to try the case as soon as possible. Campeggio understands, but he reminds Wolsey that his decision will be final, there'll be no appeals here. He reveals that the pope wants to keep Henry happy, but it'll be best to persuade Henry to give up this case. Wolsey rather impatiently tells Campeggio that if Henry doesn't get his way, the church will lose England altogether.
