Role of Torture in Finding Bin Laden: What We Actually Know
Here's a closer look at what we know and who's saying what about the role of torture in the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden.

If you've been following the latest news on the U.S. operation against Osama bin Laden, you've probably read a lot of conflicting accounts. There have been questions about the circumstances in which bin Laden was shot, whether he used his wife as a human shield, and even minor details such as the height of the walls around bin Laden's compound have varied widely in the news coverage.
"I apologize. Even I'm getting confused," White House spokesman Jay Carney said during yesterday's press briefing when asked by reporters to clarify discrepancies in the story of the raid.
The Guardian has helpfully laid out a number of areas in which the narrative of bin Laden's death has been corrected or has evolved. One of the areas it doesn't mention is whether enhanced interrogation techniques helped produce the intelligence that led to bin Laden—a subject that many politicians and officials seemed to have already seized on to support their own policy positions. Here's a closer look at what we know and who's saying what.
In dispute: Whether "enhanced interrogation" techniques—banned by the Obama administration but approved under Bush—helped the U.S. obtain intelligence from detainees that ultimately led to bin Laden.
Who said what: The former head of counterterrorism at the CIA told Time that tips given by Khalid Sheikh Muhammed and another detainee were "the lead information that eventually led to the location of [bin Laden's] compound and the operation that led to his death." Both of those sources, he said, were held at secret CIA prisons and subjected to enhanced interrogation techniques.
Donald Rumsfeld, Bush's defense secretary, has also made the argument that waterboarding played a crucial role in obtaining the intelligence. "Anyone who suggests that the enhanced techniques, let's be blunt, waterboarding, did not produce an enormous amount of valuable intelligence, just isn't facing the truth," he said in an appearance on Fox News.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney has also said that it "wouldn't be surprising" if the intelligence used to find bin Laden had been obtained through the Bush-authorized techniques.
Asked directly about enhanced interrogation, the White House has danced around the question. Take this exchange from yesterday's press briefing:
Q: Were any results of such techniques used in helping to track down bin Laden?
MR. CARNEY: Mark, the fact is that no single piece of information led to the successful mission that occurred on Sunday, and multiple detainees provided insights into the networks of people who might have been close to bin Laden. But reporting from detainees was just a slice of the information that has been gathered by incredibly diligent professionals over the years in the intelligence community. And it simply strains credulity to suggest that a piece of information that may or may not have been gathered eight years ago somehow directly led to a successful mission on Sunday. That's just not the case.
Asked the same question again at today's briefing, Carney said, "The work that was done was primarily by analysts gathering tiny bits of information, putting it together, and creating a body of work that led to the finding of a location where Osama bin Laden was hiding."
What we know now: It's a stretch at this point to draw conclusions about the role that enhanced interrogation techniques played in producing useful intelligence leading to bin Laden. Here's why.
First, with the exception of Khalid Sheikh Muhammed, it's uncertain what kind of techniques were used on the other detainees who gave up information on bin Laden's courier, reports the New York Times.
Second, KSM, who was waterboarded nearly 200 times, wasn't forthright with interrogators, who in fact found him valuable because they saw through his attempt to steer them away from bin Laden's courier. The same was true for the other CIA detainee, who may also have been subjected to brutal interrogation techniques—the CIA says he was not waterboarded—during his detention.
And third, as we noted yesterday, an official told the Associated Press that the information KSM gave up about the courier was not obtained during waterboarding but under standard interrogation. The Times also reported that the first time KSM was asked about the courier was months after he was waterboarded.

Why Should I Localize Arabic?
If you're asking yourself this question, then there's a thing or two you need to know about the Arabic language and the Arab-speaking world. The key to survival for any business is to hold on to the consumers it already has while simultaneously attracting new ones. Despite the wild generalizations, the Middle East, where most Arabic-speaking countries are located, is not entirely overrun with chaos and instability, but instead represents a burgeoning market of active consumers looking to make money, spend money, and connect with the rest of the world. These kinds of populations present an unparalleled opportunity for a business to be successful.
For example, Internet World Stats has measured the number of both Arabic-speaking Internet users and those accessing the Internet from the Middle East, and some might find them surprising. While the Middle East population of 250 million or so represent only 3.3 percent of the 7.3 billion people on earth, they account for 3.8 percent of all Internet users. This 0.5 percent might seem tiny, but think to the tune of almost 150 million active Internet users in the region, and you'll realize why it's a big deal.
The 292 million Arabic-speakers, however, represent an even bigger overall percentage, with 185 million active users accounting for 4.8 percent of the world's online population. But what do these numbers matter? Businesses need to look to the future to make investment decisions, right? Well yeah, which is exactly why the Arabic-speaking population is key. Between 2000-2017, the number of Arabic-speaking Internet users increased faster than any other major language, a whopping 7,247.3 percent. And to give you the full picture, of the 10 most widely spoken languages, Arabic has one of the largest percentages of speakers who still don't have access to the Internet, or about 56.2 percent. This percentage represents an additional 236 million potential users.
One of the biggest hurdles for Arabic-speakers to overcome was the script, oftentimes difficult or impossible to input and format correctly. But in the past decade, there have been numerous advancements that allow Arabic language fonts, coding, and software to become prevalent. For example, Microsoft released its program, Maren, in its Windows operating system that automatically converts Latin characters into the Arabic script. These are just some of the reasons why you and your business should consider localizing your website or Internet content to Arabic.
Well, this all seems great. But what's the catch?
What Makes Arabic so Hard to Localize?
Arabic is an official language in 28 countries and has 292 million native and non-native speakers. But on a more linguistic level, there are 8 broad categories of Arabic, which together contain at least 19 dialects, which in turn contain at least 48 sub-dialects. Linguists sometimes identify variations of the language based on specific country, which comes out to 22 different dialects. And this doesn't include classical and modern standardized variations used in historic texts and formal contexts. That's a lot of Arabic.
The amount of scientific and technology-related research and publishing in Arabic has been minimal in recent decades, which means that many common and easily understood technical terms in English don't have practical or uniform translations in Arabic. It can be difficult to express a lot of terminology related to computers, the Internet, or other communications technologies.
Translating languages that read from left to right to a language that reads from right to left brings about some complications, particularly with design and format. A good localization service makes every effort for a webpage or mobile application to retain its original formatting and structure, so when the direction of a script flips, making sure all content fits in the same way can be a challenge. In addition to simple lines of text, Arabic-speakers also read pages from right to left, meaning that you to organize any sequenced columns, sets of images, or separate blocks of text correctly so that Arabic-speakers can easily read follow the direction and flow of the content. Particularly in desktop publishing, sets of images showing step-by-step processes must display in reverse order in the Arabic translation.
What Are Some Tips to Localize Arabic Correctly?
With so many dialects and variations, knowing exactly who your target audience is and what dialect they speak will make your job a whole lot easier and your localized project all the more successful. Vocabulary differs dramatically between dialects and no one in Saudi Arabia will be able to understand your content in a Moroccan dialect of Arabic. Along with simple linguistic nuances, we cannot emphasize enough the importance of knowing what is appropriate or unacceptable in an Arabic-speaking culture. Some countries have laws around what can be shown in images, and many groups take offense to certain themes or ideas in marketing content that are perfectly acceptable in Western countries.
Machine translation is almost never a suitable alternative to a human translation service, but we're going to argue that this is twice as applicable for Arabic texts. Particularly in business, technology, and communications, common phrases or concepts don't have proper translations, and a machine cannot decide what word is appropriate to use in every situation. Arabic is also a very expressive language, using a lot of idioms, allusive characterizations, and sometimes even poetic words to describe situations or ideas. Machines will not be able to tackle these kinds of humanistic language functions, and your web content will just look insincere, appear hastily assembled, and probably will not make a whole lot of sense.
Pay. Attention. To. The. Layout. We cannot stress this enough. Double-checking sequences of images, loading text into suitable content blocks, and being mindful of direction will make or break your project. A localization specialist needs to be able to think like an Arabic-speaker and approach issues in design and format with the eye of a local. Even what appear to native English speakers to be subtle details might look like humongous errors to a native Arabic speaker.
Don't worry. Arabic is a complex language that many spend years or even decades trying to master. No one is expected to learn and utilize a language at a professional level without any help. This is where a professional localization service comes in handy, like ATA Translation Agency. We offer Arabic translation services in addition to website, software, mobile app, e-commerce, digital marketing, email communication, and a whole bunch of other localization services between all dialects of Arabic and more than 300 other languages. Save yourself the time, money, and stress and give ATA Translation Agency a call.


1. What is game theory?
Game theory studies mathematical models of social interactions, or "games". Game theorists analyse the strategic decisions made by people when they compete or cooperate with others.
A key concept in game theory is an equilibrium – a strategy for each player that is best for them, assuming the strategies of the other players are fixed. Game theorists can ask whether the actual behaviour of the players is accurately described by the equilibrium, and if not, why. They can also think about changing the rules of the game to improve the equilibrium outcomes.
2. Can you give me a real-life example of game theory in action?
An auction is a real-life example of a game. Auctions are increasingly important on the internet and for problems such as privatisation and allocating rights to exploit mineral resources on public land.
If you are bidding on a house, how much should you bid? Certainly, you should bid less than the most you would be willing to pay, but the lower your bid, the smaller your probability of winning. If you are selling your house, would you be better off using an open outcry auction –used by auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby's – or should you follow the standard practice of asking people to submit sealed bids? Should you have a reserve price? Game theory helps us to understand why people do what they do, and whether they could do better.
3. What are you currently researching in the field?
Take dorm rooms: they can be allocated fairly by ordering the students randomly, then going down the list, with each student choosing their favourite room from those that have not already been claimed. In 1979, Hylland and Zeckhauser from Harvard University proposed a different model for problems of this sort, in which the players trade probabilities of receiving the various rooms in a market.
A key mathematical issue, both for game theory and for markets, is to prove that there is at least one equilibrium. My latest project gives an equilibrium existence theorem that simultaneously generalises their existence result and the most general results for standard markets. An existence result is a mathematical theorem that guarantees that a certain type of model has at least one equilibrium. Without an existence result, the story the model is trying to tell falls apart.
4. What is it about your research that is new or distinctive?
Much of the most interesting research in economics is basic, dealing with mathematical frameworks that are abstract representations of fundamental economic issues. My style of research combines a high level of mathematical knowledge with a sharp eye for researchable problems that are interesting, both mathematically and economically. My contributions are generally quite technical, and quite diverse, spanning a broad range of economic theory.
5. Which issues/research areas do you intend to tackle next?
Although the markets proposed by Hylland and Zeckhauser have several advantages, the possibility that there might be more than one equilibrium makes them hard to use and hard to justify in terms of fairness.

Tom Corbett May Give Liquor Privatization Another Shot in 2014
To help make up for budget shortfall.
By Joel Mathis·	 12/23/2013, 1:38 p.m.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports privatizing the state's liquor stores may be on the agenda in 2014, thanks to a $1.4 billion budget deficit. "There are plenty of other options, legalizing more gambling such as keno and pension reform among them. Full Medicaid expansion is another possibility. But selling the state stores long has been a popular notion with most Pennsylvanians (though, in fairness to the opposition, it's not a burning issue). That said, the dynamics of state store privatization could change shortly."
A fiscal argument against it is that it's no instant jackpot; it would take months, even a year or more, to set up the sale of new liquor licenses and close state-owned stores. A political argument against it is the complication of a powerful union with a lot of money and a lot of clout — the United Food and Commercial Workers — battling it at every turn.
Avoiding a state tax hike is what puts liquor store divestiture in play. Cutting education and welfare, the usual suspects, is likely off the table with Corbett running for re-election.
It's not worked any other year. Will this finally be it?

One pot synthesis of layered tetratitanate-organic intercalation compounds with the aid of macrocyclic compounds
Makoto Ogawa, Yoshinao Takizawa
We now report the preparation of alkylammonium-tetratitanate intercalation compounds with the aid of a macrocyclic compound, [2.2.2]-cryptand. The macrocyclic compound strongly interacts with the interlayer cation to promote the ion exchange reactions, which do not proceed in its absence. The formation of the intercalation compounds was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and elemental analysis. Since the present method is simple in operation, it is applicable to the preparation of a wide variety of inorganic-organic supramolecular systems.

Sandy: Welcome Ben and Bob, to our game show, Top Noise Complaints: Throwdown! Your goal is to answer the questions creatively, honestly, and with flair. OK, ready? Let's begin.
Part A: Exterior noise invading your interior space. What is the best way to deal with persistent exterior noise? Let's say you have an apartment on the harbor, and you are awakened every morning at 2:00 by the loud engines of fishing boats heading out to sea?
Ben: First, try a little masking sound to cover up the exterior noise that gets into your space. This might be a fan, some Quincy Jones, The Crown on Netflix, or perhaps some At the Gates, whatever your taste. Second, get better windows. The key here is to have at least 2 inches of space between the main insulating window and a third layer of glass in your window assembly.
Bob: I agree with what Ben says, although I would also add examples to the list of masking sources. In terms of window upgrades, you can replace the entire window, or (if you have the room) you could install an interior window insert many of which can be removed when you want to open your window again.
I also want to touch on a few things that seem like they would help, but probably won't. This includes putting sound absorptive treatments on your walls to help absorb sound (this might make your room more comfortable, but won't go a long way towards stopping noise coming through the windows). I also wouldn't recommend going out on your porch or balcony to scream at the boats to be quiet as they go by. In my experience this doesn't have very good results and just sets off the neighbor's dog. I'd also advise against using flares to get the boat's attention. If anything they might think you're in trouble and try to rescue you, which will just make the noise louder.
Sandy: Ok great. Part B: exterior noise invading your exterior space. What about this – you live near a rail line and want to be able to have friends over for patio dinner parties in the summer, but are worried the loud train noise will ruin your fun. Thoughts?
Ben: This is a tough one, because, unless you are totally enclosing your exterior space in a glass box (weird, and no longer exterior), some exterior noise is going to bend over any barrier you put between your space and the noise source. You need a tall, heavy screen that blocks your view of the noise source. Trees, forsythia, vines, shrubs won't cut it.
Bob: As Ben said, a barrier will be your best bet, but won't work in all situations. If you don't feel like turning your backyard into a greenhouse (though I can't imagine why you wouldn't want that), you might also have some luck with masking noise as discussed above. Putting on some music (I hear Ben's suggestion of At the Gates pairs well with most formal dinner parties) or having a source of some calming nature-esque sounds, like a bubbling fountain, or a calming seashore.
Again, what probably won't work is trying to block the sound with more trees or hopping the fence to scream at the train as it goes by. Not only is this dangerous, but the engineer might mistake you for some scrappy kids and toot the horn for you, and trust me, if the train is already bothering you the horn will only be worse.
Part A: Noisy multi-unit residential / hotel buildings. Your nice neighbor appears to be going deaf, because he listens to CNN at full volume every night, and apparently can't hear you when you pound on his door in an attempt to remind him to turn it down.
Ben: First, take a deep breath, calm down, and try to wait until daytime hours to approach your neighbor to explain the problem. If your neighbor really is hearing impaired and wears hearing aids, they could get better sound from the TV and lower the noise by using a hearing loop and switching their hearing aid to telecoil mode, thereby using the hearing aids in lieu of the TV speakers, and restoring your peace, serenity, and sanity! If diplomacy fails, then you're in for expensive modifications to your wall and or floor-ceiling.
Bob: Going to the source is probably your best bet, but if your neighbor is being difficult, and you don't have the time and money to put towards big renovations, a quick solution might be (you guessed it) masking noise. A lot of noise issues between adjacent residences are exacerbated by the fact that residences can often be very very quiet, often quieter than most libraries. Adding a bit of broadband noise from a fan or white noise generator can go a long way towards covering up all sorts of sounds that might be coming from your neighbors.
1.) Absorptive finishes in your space (or theirs). These just don't do much when it comes to noise transferring through walls.
2.) Also, cutting a hole in the wall and sticking your head through to get their attention. Not only is this a terrifying thing to do, but it will further compromise the effectiveness of your wall. Sound can travel pretty well through a head-sized hole in the wall.
Sandy: Fabulous! Part B: What about loud noises (like pipes, HVAC systems) coming from inside your space? Say I'm trying to fall asleep, but the HVAC fan noise is driving me nuts, and I can't just put a pillow over it to drown it out. Help!
Ben: Have you tried the At the Gates suggestion to cover up the noise? If Swedish death metal is not to your liking, you'll probably have to have the HVAC system modified. Try getting a bigger fan that can run slower. Bonus points if you can have the system run constantly rather than cycling on or off, which draws your attention to the noise.
Bob: Not much to add here, although depending on the nature of the pipe noise, it may be possible to enclose the pipes with soffits so you don't hear that telltale rush of water every time your upstairs neighbor uses the bathroom. If it is noise from your own systems then, as Ben said, you'll likely need to switch it for a quieter system or (if it's a ducted system) some modifications to the ductwork might help reduce the noise in certain areas.
1) Stuffing a hand, leg, umbrella, or other object into the fan to make it stop. There are easier and less permanent ways to turn it off.
2) Screaming at the fan to be quiet. It is a fan, it will not respond to this.
3) Hiding under the bed to escape the noise. The noise is tenacious. It will find you.

The Avengers Bring Silver Surfer Back to the Marvel Universe
For the better part of the past year, Silver Surfer has currently existed outside the regular timeline of Marvel's Earth-616 universe. At one point — thanks to Thanos and the Black Order — the character was sucked through a black hole across space and time. Now, he's returned to the proper timeline, all thanks to the Avengers. Minor spoilers up ahead for Avengers #27. Proceed with caution if you have yet to read the latest issue in Jason Aaron's dynamite run.
The sudden re-emergence of the Starbrand has drawn the Avengers — or at least part of the team — to space in order to investigate. They were asked to be of assistance by Gladiator and the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, so you know it's a pretty serious ordeal. To make things even more complicated, they're not the only group hoping to find out more about the revival of the epic Earth-protecting power.
In the closing moments of Avengers #27, we see Ghost Rider and Black Widow are escorting an injured Blade through the cosmos using Ghost Rider's recently-converted Hell Charger, which now appears to serve as a spaceship of sorts. Though readers are left with many questions on how Blade exactly got injured, we do eventually see what the group is running from — Norrin Radd himself, the Silver Surfer.

Since the character was blasted into that dark hole back in Donny Cates' Guardians of the Galaxy #1, he's been busy teaming up with Ego the Living Planet on trying to take down Knull throughout the events of the Silver Surfer: Black mini-series. Now that he's returned to the proper timeline, it has yet to be seen just what kind of impact his recent self-titled book as had on the Herald as a character. Fans of the classic cosmic character might be happy to see the solicitation for the next issue in the series promises an increased involvement from the character.
Avengers #27 is now available at your local comic store. Avengers #28 is set for release December 18th and the full solicitation of the issue can be found below.

California police kills unarmed African American
This video from the USA says about itself:
UNARMED Black Man KILLED After Being SHOT By El Cajon Cops For "ACTING ERRATICALLY"
A black man was shot in an encounter with police in southern California Tuesday afternoon prompting angry community members to gather around the scene demanding answers as his sister stood by crying hysterically.
El Cajon Police say they were called to a parking lot at the Broadway Village Shopping Center at 1pm after being told a 30-year-old man was acting 'erratically,' NBC San Diego reported.
Rob Ransweiler, El Cajon Police spokesman, said the man did not comply with officers demands and the encounter ended with an officer-involved shooting. It's unclear if more than one officer opened fire.
The unidentified man was taken to Sharp Memorial Hospital and is listed in critical condition. …
A video shared to social media by Rumbie Mubaiwa shows a woman, identified as the victim's sister, crying hysterically in the parking lot after witnessing her brother being shot.
She can be heard saying: 'I called you to help me but you killed my brother.
'Why couldn't you guys tase him? Why why why why?'
Police officers can be seen approaching the woman in the video to question her.
'I called so many times to help him,' she said. Maria Medina, an employee at Los Panchos in El Cajon, which is located about 15 miles east of San Diego, said that she was inside the eatery working when she heard the shooting happen.
She said that officers came into the restaurant and confiscated everyone's cell phone after the shooting.
Median added that one of her coworkers who had her phone taken by police had recorded video of the shooting.
However, El Cajon police tweeted that no phones were 'confiscated.'
An employee working at a hair salon inside the shopping center told 10News that they heard the gunfire and went outside to see what had occurred.
'I heard three gunshots – there was a black man on the ground and two officers standing around him,' the witness said.
Some witnesses claimed that the man had his hands up in the air at the time of the shooting, but El Cajon police tweeted: 'The investigation just started, but based on the video voluntarily provided by a witness, the subject did NOT have his hands up in the air.'
Dozens of people who gathered at the strip mall where the shooting happened began chanting 'Black Lives Matter' and 'Hands up, don't shoot.'
In May, El Cajon City Council members approved the purchase of 88 body cameras. However, the El Cajon Police Chief Jeff Davis said that he was hoping to have the cameras in use by the start of 2017.
San Diego City Councilwoman Myrtle Cole tweeted: 'My heart goes out to the family & loved ones of the victim at the El Cajon shooting today. I pray that he survives.'
The shooting in El Cajon comes just three days after the video showing the September 20 police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott in Charlotte, North Carolina was released.
A police officer in Tulsa, Oklahoma shot and killed 40-year-old Terence Crutcher six days after Scott's shooting.
In the Tulsa shooting, officer Betty Shelby has been charged with manslaughter and if convicted, she faces up to life in prison.
Crutcher's and Scott's deaths have sparked protests across the country, as people question the law enforcement officers' actions.
This is a developing story, please check back for updates.
From Reuters news agency in the USA:
Police Fatally Shoot Black Man In San Diego Suburb, Sparking Protests
The man later died after being taken to the hospital.
09/28/2016 04:48 am ET
An unarmed black man has died after being shot by a police officer in El Cajon in southern California on Tuesday, the local police department said, appealing for calm as local media reported crowds had gathered at the scene of the shooting.
The death comes less than two weeks after black men in Charlotte, North Carolina and in Tulsa, Oklahoma, were shot dead by police, sparking protests. In Charlotte, rioting prompted the authorities to impose a state of emergency.
Similar deaths have added to a torrent of accusations over racial bias in U.S. law enforcement and calls for greater police accountability for the killings of black people.
The El Cajon Police Department said two officers had responded to a call regarding a man walking in traffic. He refused their instructions to remove his hand from his pocket and then pulled out an object from his pants and pointed it at them, the department said in a statement.
The officers then simultaneously shot and Tasered the man who died after being taken to the hospital, the department said.
During a news conference hours after the shooting, El Cajon Police Department Jeff Davis said no weapon was found on the scene. He did not say what exactly the man pointed at the unidentified officers.
The incident prompted crowds of people to gather throughout Tuesday night at the scene and at the El Cajon Police Department, where they demanded information about the shooting, according to local media.
Video emerged on social media purportedly showing the moments after the incident at the scene. In the video, a woman, who claimed to be the man's sister, is heard saying that she called police.
"Oh my God. You killed my brother. I just called for help and … you killed him," the unidentified woman said as she sobbed.
A bystander voluntarily provided investigators cell phone video that captured the incident, police said.
Police released a still photo from the video that depicted what appeared to be two officers pointing weapons at an individual who was pointed an object at them. At least one of the officers in the photo appeared to be white.
A study released in July shows police used force on black people at rates more than three times higher than for whites.
THE RAMPANT ABUSE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT DATABASES "Police officers across the country misuse confidential law enforcement databases to get information on romantic partners, business associates, neighbors, journalists and others for reasons that have nothing to do with daily police work, an Associated Press investigation has found." [AP]

I recently decided to invest in Elvis Presley; EPE (Elvis Presley Enterprises), actually. I did that by purchasing 200 shares in CKX, Inc., a parent company owned by Broadway media mogul and producer Robert Sillerman, who acquired controlling interest in EPE in 2004. I decided to buy CKX stock for three reasons. First, an Associated Press financial article that appeared in my local newspaper on January 9, 2010, the day after Elvis's 75th birthday, predicted that CKX "could double or triple its stock price over the next couple of years." Second, the price was right. CKX peaked at nearly $28 a share in 2005; it was at $5 per share when I bought in. Finally, it was a sentimental choice. I'm an Elvis fan. He's already demonstrated his commercial power as a dead celebrity. I have faith in his future earnings potential.
Of course, a smart investor always examines the history of a company before investing in it. In CKX's case, that history goes back only five years. Most long time Elvis fans were shocked when they learned in December 2004 that Lisa Marie Presley had sold 85% interest in her father's estate to Sillerman. We had gotten used to EPE being under family control. The Presley estate was on the verge of collapse after Elvis died in 1977. Priscilla wrestled control away from Colonel Parker, opened Graceland to the public, and rebuilt the commercial value of Elvis's name. Ownership of Graceland and EPE eventually passed to Lisa Marie, as the heir to her father's estate.
It was certainly a sweet financial deal for Lisa Marie, but fans were worried about how Elvis's image would fair in the hands of a money-first wheeler-dealer like Sillerman. When he bought EPE in 2004, Sillerman tried to soothe Elvis fans by claiming he was one of them. "My favorite Elvis song is 'Can't Help Falling in Love," he pronounced, "my favorite movie is 'Viva Las Vegas,' and I dressed up as Elvis in 2003 at Halloween." Fans were also pleased that the EPE management team was left in place. Jack Soden, who retained his position as EPE's chief executive officer, promised fans there would be no drastic changes. "Hopefully what they'll notice is that we keep getting better and better," he explained.
"My greatest responsibility to my father is to preserve and protect his legacy, and this is an exciting new structure that opens up an incredible array of opportunities with a major infusion of new investment capital to do just that. It's the ideal partnership in that I retain Graceland and my father's personal effects, yet joining forces with Bob Sillerman will give us the opportunity to grow even further the intellectual and entertainment properties." In effect, Lisa Marie was admitting that she had neither the resources nor the business acumen to take EPE to a higher level.
So what has Sillerman done in the last five years to build up CKX? Well, he's added a couple of other entertainment entities to join EPE. He acquired the British company that produces "American Idol," and he bought the rights to the name and likeness of boxing legend Muhammad Ali. Still, since CKX peaked in 2005, its stock has dropped over 83% in value. Morningstar, the online stock research site, rates CKX among the worst performers in the Bear-Market of recent years. Also, Morningstar gives the company a current grade of "F" in profitability. Hence, the low share price.
But has Sillerman done anything to build up the EPE side of CKX? Not much, it turns out. Elvis licensed merchandise has increased some, and the King's music continues to be repackaged and reissued over and over again. Those efforts, however, mostly appeal to Presley's traditional fan base, and it is difficult to imagine what more Sillerman can do for that aging demographic, unless he can find some way to keep us from dying off one by one.
CKX's real challenge is to somehow expand Elvis's appeal to a new and wider audience. It needs a project to send waves of Elvis interest through 21st century culture. An attempt to do so was made several years ago with "All Shook Up," a musical in the pattern of "Mamma Mia" and "Jersey Boys," which had sparked renewed interest in ABBA and the Four Seasons, respectively. "All Shook Up" bombed on Broadway, however, and so CKX is looking elsewhere to build up Presley's appeal. The recent AP article details the company's current efforts.
I don't know what Sillerman has in mind to "redevelop" Graceland, unless it's the project that's already been announced—the building of a visitor's center adjacent to Graceland to replace the strip mall across the highway. As for the Las Vegas musical concept, CKX is late to the table with that project, as it was with the Broadway show. The Beatles Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas has drawn huge crowds, and Sillerman's company is obviously hoping it will work for Elvis too. As both a shareholder in the company and an Elvis fan, I've got my fingers crossed.
"My greatest responsibility to my father is to preserve and protect his legacy, and this is an exciting new structure that opens up an incredible array of opportunities."

Tuscany also administers the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago, together with a small exclave located within the borders of Emilia-Romagna, in which there are a few hamlets of Badia Tedalda.
The name is very old and comes from the Latin dall'etnonimo used to define the land inhabited by the Etruscans: "Etruria", later transformed into "Tuscia" and then in "Tuscany". The borders of Tuscany today correspond in principle to those ancient Etruria, which included parts of present regions of Lazio and Umbria, to the Tiber.

Llewellyn is investigating the chilling crimes of a top psychiatrist and his scheming patient who the doctor believes has knuckled under his authority. In the meantime, Hawke is on the case of a mysterious suicide in Edgware Road… soon discovered as not your average suicide.
The guts and insight of the two investigators bring both cases to a head – though you won't even begin to see how until you have turned the last pages.

Jewish security group credited with averting NY attack says an antisemitic murder in Arizona could have been prevented
Ron Kampeas, JTA
(JTA) — A top Jewish community security consultant accused the University of Arizona of ignoring antisemitism as a warning sign in a case that culminated in the shooting death of a professor.
"Professor Thomas Meixner lost his life because antisemitism is not being taken seriously enough," Michael Masters, the CEO of the Secure Community Network, wrote in an op-ed published Tuesday in the Arizona Republic.
Masters said the alleged assailant's explicitly antisemitic threats should have been a red flag for the campus police, which, Masters said did not aggressively pursue criminal charges, and the Pima County Attorney's Office, which did not file charges. The assailant in one text to a teacher wished "death to all Jews."
"Too often reported violent antisemitic threats like these are dismissed as a byproduct of poor mental health and are not treated with necessary precautions," Masters wrote. "More could and should have been done to prevent a senseless murder."
Masters' group coordinates security for Jewish organizations across the country. Last week, it alerted authorities in New York City to an online post by someone who said he would "shoot up a synagogue"; police apprehended the man alleged to have made the post, who had a gun, ammunition and a Nazi armband. Previously, people who have received Security Community Network training have credited it with mitigating attacks, including during the hostage situation at a Texas synagogue last January.
Murad Dervish, the suspect in the Oct. 5 slaying on the Tucson campus of the University of Arizona, believed Meixner was Jewish and was targeting Dervish because he was a Muslim, according to Meixner's colleagues.
Dervish, a graduate student in the department of hydrology and atmospheric sciences, had received a poor grade and was fired last semester as a teaching assistant, although he was allowed to stay on at the school as a student.
Meixner, the department head, was a Roman Catholic, but, according to Eyad Atallah, another teacher whom Dervish threatened, Dervish refused to believe it.
"You're a filthy kike lover who's been deceived by them, but I really can't blame you, they're very deceptive," Dervish said in a text to Atallah, who had for a time befriended him.
In a text message to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Masters said the Meixner killing showed how antisemitic violence accrues collateral damage.
"We must take threats seriously — no matter their motivation — and work to address them in a comprehensive, coordinated manner," he said. "Had that been the case, one has to wonder if the victim, in this case, would still be alive and whether we'll learn the lesson to keep the next potential victims safe and alive."
The university expelled Dervish and barred him from campus but did not have mechanisms in place to keep him from entering the building.
The county attorney's office said Dervish's texts did not rise to the level of an actionable threat. His threats did not "meet the evidentiary requirements for charging him with the crime of Threats and Intimidation," the office said in a statement.
Atallah told the Arizona Daily Star that he believed Dervish carefully phrased his texts so he could plausibly claim he was not directly threatening the person they were addressed to. In one text to Atallah, Dervish said, "I hope somebody blows your f****** brains out." Atallah, who acquired a bulletproof vest and limited his time on campus after the threats, believes Dervish would have killed him too had they encountered one another on the day of the shooting.
It's not clear how Dervish, who had been charged and sentenced to prison in other states for violent acts, was able to purchase a gun. He has pleaded not guilty.

Q: How to export a global scss variables file to be imported to all scss files in Rails 6 webpacker We are migrating from asset pipeline to webpacker & I tried to look for a definite answer for this for hours but can't find the "official way" to avail a global scss variables file to all the scss files in my application
So for example: I have a file colors.scss
$gray: #000000;
$red: #EF6461;

& I want these scss variables to be available for all my webpacker scss files, currently I have imported that file in my application.scss but I got errors in each scss that it can't find these variables, because as I understood webpacker will convert the scss files independently from each other, therefore not seeing the variables file I imported in application.scss
So how to handle this, making the global config file available to all scss in webpack (or webpacker) configuration itself, instead of importing the configuration file in every scss manually?
Note:
importing the config file in each scss solves the issue but is very repeatitive & fragile
Update
I had different compile errors with different trials to solve this:
1- if I am keeping stylesheets in the webpacker packs folder, I get many errors from all scss files that they don't know the scss variable I am using (core of this question)
Errors like this:
ERROR in ./app/javascript/packs/stylesheets/components/blog-pages/_blog-index.scss
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/mini-css-extract-plugin/dist/loader.js):
ModuleBuildError: Module build failed (from ./node_modules/sass-loader/dist/cjs.js):

        on line 16 of xxxxxxx/app/javascript/packs/stylesheets/components/blog-pages/_blog-index.scss
>>      color: $green;

   ---------^

2- if I keep the stylesheets beside the packs folder, I get other 1 by 1 error for the scss like this:
    ERROR in ./app/javascript/stylesheets/application.scss
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/mini-css-extract-plugin/dist/loader.js):

       ^

A: So the main issue I had was putting the stylesheets in the wrong directory, putting stylesheets in /app/javascript/packs, this caused the root issue of webpack transpiling each scss file alone
The proper way is to put the stylesheets folder beside the packs folder, that is putting it in app/javascript/stylesheets & then organizing your scss in an application.scss file which will call your scss files in order correctly.

A: I found this question when googling during a sprockets -> webpacker migration and figured I'd share what I figured out.
I ended up using sass-resources-loader, and here's my config:
// config/webpack/environment.js

// ...

// sass/scss loader config
const sassLoader = environment.loaders.get('sass')
const sassLoaderConfig = sassLoader.use.find(function (element) {
  return element.loader === 'sass-loader'
})

const options = sassLoaderConfig.options
options.implementation = require('sass') // Use Dart-implementation of Sass (default is node-sass)

const sassResourceLoader = require('./loaders/sass-resource-loader')
environment.loaders.prepend('sass', sassResourceLoader)

//...

// config/webpack/loaders/sass-resource-loader.js

module.exports = {
  test: /\.scss$/,
  use: [
    'style-loader',
    'css-loader',
    'sass-loader',
    {
      loader: 'sass-resources-loader',
      options: {
        resources: [
          './app/javascript/styles/abstract/*.scss' // I've got all my "global" stuff in this one abstracts folder
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Currently funded by an AmeriCorps planning grant, the Santa Fe Botanical Garden and Cooking with Kids have partnered to develop a new program that will bring AmeriCorps members into local schools to teach a combined garden and kitchen curriculum. While the Santa Fe Botanical Garden, among its other environmental education endeavors, works to support school gardens and teachers, Cooking with Kids works in schools to teach hands-on food and nutrition education programs. The two organizations realized, that by combining capacities and capabilities, they could provide educational programming not only on how to prepare and try new foods, but on where that food comes from and how it grows. Now guided by the shared mission to increase awareness of the food system among children in northern New Mexico, these two organizations are working together to realize such a program for the 2018-2019 school year.

Rovers To Support Doncaster Foodbank
Special request from the Foodbank for help with certain produce which can be dropped off at the main reception
Doncaster Rovers Football Club has committed its support to acting as a vital Collection Point for the Doncaster Foodbank based at Christ Church, Thorne Road.
Please note that not all foodstuffs are appropriate for donation to the Foodbank. Below is a list of those provisions which are urgently required and are suitable:
Milk (UHT or powdered) Tinned meat/fish Tinned vegetables
The Foodbank is designed to help individuals and families in crisis through the provision of emergency food supplies. Local care professionals in Doncaster refer people with a food voucher to the Foodbank centre where they are provided with vital food supplies. In addition, they are given help to access the services of other professionals who can help them out of their crisis.
The Foodbank allows the general public to contribute towards and support local well-being in a simple, practical way. There are various Collection Points throughout the Doncaster area which receive donations and pass them to the appropriate branch of the Foodbank for distribution. Now, the Keepmoat Stadium wishes to play its part in acting as a Collection Point for food donations from supporters of Doncaster Rovers. Members of the public can drop off donations at the Keepmoat either at Main Reception during the week, and especially on match days at
Main Reception.
Gavin Baldwin: "It is a sad reflection of our times to learn that 1 in 5 persons in Doncaster is living below the poverty line. A sudden crisis in life can have catastrophic consequences for individuals and families. Such circumstances can result in members of our communities going hungry on a daily basis, with parents going without in order to feed their children. We can prevent this by helping those in need through our support of the Doncaster Foodbank. The football club regards it as part of our community responsibility to assist in whatever small way we can, and we have no reservations about setting up the stadium as a Collection Point".
The club should like to serve as a Collection Point for a prolonged period of time, not just a one-off match day. Donations of the appropriate foodstuffs will be transported on a regular basis from the club to the Foodbank at Christ Church.
We should like to thank our supporters for their generosity in their donations for those in need.
