There is no doubt about it, after Brexit Britain will not be subject to the rulings of the European Court of Justice, the EU's high court. The Prime Minister has been absolutely clear about this, it's a red line for her negotiators, they must not step over it. As she told fellow Conservatives at the Party Conference last autumn, "We are not leaving only to return to the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice." Her Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, David Davis, has been just as forthright: "As I head to Brussels to open official talks to leave the EU, there should be no doubt — we are leaving the European Union, and delivering on that historic referendum result … Leaving gives us the opportunity to forge a bright new future for the UK — one where we are free to control our borders, pass our own laws and do what independent sovereign countries do." They must be tired of saying it. Or perhaps they no longer mean it.
In this post we review the EU's thoughts (or should that be 'mandates') on Governance from the 'Position paper transmitted to EU27 on Governance' (29 June).
"The attached position paper on Governance contains the main principles of the EU position in this regard …".
This was to be discussed at the "Council Working party" on 29 June and, subject to confirmation, we assume that the contents were accepted without modification. We also assume that the contents are intended to supplement the 'negotiating directives' and so have similar status as part of the 'mandate'.
We don't believe that the use of legalistic language is inappropriate in this context or is intended to obscure the meaning for those of us who struggle to interpret it. From the first of these two paragraphs we see that the UK government is expected to introduce its own laws to ensure that the UK will continue to obey Union law. There is no room for negotiation here: "The provisions of the Withdrawal Agreement … enshrining the continued application of Union law…".
The second sentence states that the UK will continue to be bound by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). So what does 'Brexit' mean?
This is the last of six general principles and here we do see some irony, probably unintended, in the legalistic language: "…the United Kingdom should enjoy the same procedural rights…". This is not an everyday use of "enjoy". It refers to "rights" but it is clear throughout that this covers 'duties'.
The general principles quoted above confirm that the continued application of Union law will be enshrined in the withdrawal agreement.
Next we turn to "Enforcement and Dispute Settlement".
and continued application of Union law.
Disputes and divergences of interpretation may be discussed by the Joint Committee, which will be empowered to adopt solutions agreed between the EU and the UK. However, where the Joint Committee "is unable to reach a solution between the two parties, the matter may be referred to the Court of Justice…".
From all this it is clear that the EU expects the UK to continue to function under the remit of the ECJ. So far the UK government has stated that it expects Brexit to remove the country from subservience to the ECJ. We will have to wait and see whether this 'red line' will fade and disappear under the pressure of the 'negotiating mandate' or whether the government will stand firm and the 'negotiations' will subsequently fail (see the second item in Anniversary Thoughts).
A spokesman for DEXEU said (30 June), "We are studying these technical papers in detail and look forward to discussing these issues, among others, at the next round of talks in July. We remain ready to engage with the Commission to discuss how we achieve a deep and special partnership with the European Union. We are clear that a phased process of implementation will be in the mutual interest of the UK and the EU. But we've also been clear that the direct jurisdiction of the ECJ in the UK must come to an end. The design of an implementation period will be addressed in the negotiations." As we said at the start, it's a red line.
Bob, Somehow I managed not to see your comment. It's a bit late but I've had a quick look at your amusing blog in which you apparently wrote everything in just a couple of weeks. You must have been exhausted, is that why you stopped? We enjoy satire even when it's not clear we share the same views. Have you recovered your wits yet?

THE DEATH OF "SUPERMAN LIVES": WHAT HAPPENED? Review
Release Date: July 9, 2015 (Limited and VOD)
Director: Jon Schnepp
Believe it or not, there was a time when comic-book films, particularly those involving superheroes, weren't en vogue. Theatres were inundated with sub-par comic-book heroics. It may also come as a surprise that it was less than 20 years ago when the only game in town was Warner Bros. and DC Comics. Marvel Comics was bankrupt, and no movie had ever broken the triple-digit milestone for an opening weekend.
Between June 16, 1995 (the release of Batman Forever) and May 2, 2002 (the eve of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man), only six films based on comic books were released, and only two of those broke the century mark at the box office, according to Box Office Mojo. Comic book adaptations weren't making money and were not generating the business that Tim Burton's Batman did just six years prior.
Around 1996 there was hope that this was about to change. Great buzz and curiosity was circling around the first significant adaption since 1989. Tim Burton was to direct Nicolas Cage in a new Superman film, Superman Lives, due to hit theatres sometime in '98-'99. After years in development and millions spent on pre-production, the film died.
Jon Schnepp's entertaining and enlightening documentary, The Death of 'Superman Lives': What Happened? takes viewers behind the scenes and looks at what was, what was to be and what caused the ambitious production to end. Schnepp's film joins two equally entertaining documentaries, Jodorowsky's Dune and Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's 'Island of Dr. Moreau', which both look at ill-fated productions by notable directors.
It's quite interesting to look at films in hindsight, especially when different iterations had sprung forth from what those directors intended. Superman Lives is no different. Schnepp pulls back the curtain on what was going to be a very ambitious take on the Superman mythos.
Schnepp starts at the beginning by interviewing people involved in the development of the production, including screenwriter Kevin Smith, costume designer Colleen Atwood, producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Jon Peters, as well as production artists. They discuss what was planned at the time and are often quite frank with their recollections of their time on the production.
As the film progresses, we follow the development process as a director (Tim Burton) comes on board, and new writers, including Wesley Strick and Dan Gilroy, take passes at the script. Members of the visual effects teams and production artists share their stories about how they came on board and what they had to develop for the film. Casting is also discussed, Kevin Spacey as Luthor, Christopher Walken as Braniac, Chris Rock as Jimmy Olsen and perhaps Sandra Bullock as Lois Lane (she passed). The costume was a very important aspect of the production, and there was plenty of time spent developing its look.
While Nicolas Cage himself is not interviewed, he appears in archival footage and provides enough detail about what he wanted to achieve with his take on Superman. Burton and Cage's discussions during costume fittings are entertaining and intriguing. Schnepp has assembled the most footage you will likely ever see of Cage (who actually didn't look as bad as one would think) dressed as Superman and Clark Kent. The film continues to follow the project as it draws to its unexpected conclusion, which was a mere three weeks from production commencing.
Thanks to the film's chronological structure, it's easy to see how the project derailed. You see the pieces that ultimately undid the film begin to fall into place. Through the interviews, you also get a sense of what the filmmakers were hoping to achieve and how their ambitions and the business market itself were its undoing.
In Schnepp's interview with Burton, you can see the wounds of the production are still there. It's remarkable he agreed to talk about the film. It's clear that Burton was excited about making his Superman; a Superman movie that would have clearly had his fingerprints all over it.
There are many people in the film with many great stories to tell, but it is producer Jon Peters who steals the show. Schnepp's interview with Peters is quite funny, informative and very entertaining; he could easily carry a full documentary about his life in Hollywood.
The Death of 'Superman Lives': What Happened? is an eye-opening look at how a big-budget production could and did fall apart. In particular, it's a great examination of the zeitgeist of comic-book films at the time. It was still an untried genre on which major studios still weren't ready to roll the dice. Schnepp's documentary is a great examination of what could have been, but it also opens a Pandora's box of questions about what would be, had it happened.
For this viewer, the fact that it didn't happen is a good thing for so many reasons. Thanks to the many interviews, test footage, costume footage and shared artwork, one gets the sense that this would have been a unique take on the mythos that could have either made or broken the genre's future. Comic book fans can find the film playing at various festivals and conventions preceding its global release on July 9. Check the official site tdoslwh.com for details.

Ex-Manchester United captain Gary Neville has accused Chelsea stars of "walking" and playing like "mannequins" in their 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
Neville, a SkySports pundit, was delivering commentary during the game at the Etihad when he said this.
He was critical of Antonio Conte's approach during the first half when City had 72% possession and the visitors failed to record a shot on target.
Chelsea conceded within a minute of the second half when Bernardo Silva converted David Silva's cross.
The former England player continued to criticise Conte's side throughout the second half and restarted after a passage of play in which Chelsea sat off City despite being 1-0 down.
"This is woeful from Chelsea, it really is. It's just unacceptable," said Neville.

The Atlas of the Greek Orchids - 2 Volumes
VOL.I The Genera:Epipactis, Cephalanthera,Limodorum, Neottia,Epipogium, Corallorhiza, Goodyera, Spiranthes, Platanthera, Gymnadenia, Pseudorchis, Coeloglossum, Dactylorhiza, Serapias,Anacamptis,Neotinea, Orchis,Himantoglossum VOL.II The genus Ophrys Griekenland Greece Greece constituted in the past and still is a familiar place for those who want to see and admire one of the richest and most spectacular floras in Europe in its natural environment. Among the plant families that are distributed in Greece, the orchid family (Orchidaceae) is one of the most interesting, having 193 species and subspecies, which are classified into 19 genera. The vast variability of the orchids with their complex and admirable biology, has made this plant family an object of systematic and continuous study for many years. The genera Dactylorhiza, Epipactis and Ophrys have a prominent position in this process. Many species of these genera – especially the most variable ones – were extensively split resulting in taxonomic chaos. However, in many cases, the use of molecular markers and other techniques led to the solution of several taxonomic problems, shedding light on the already confusing classification of the European orchids. The publication of the Atlas of the Greek Orchids constitutes the culmination of our efforts over the past 20 years, in studying and recording the orchid flora of Greece. Many field excursions have been performed, aiming to record and observe orchids at their different life cycle stages, especially during spring and summer, but above all to study their morphological variability. Moreover, we tried to confirm several old – although in some cases vague – records of some species rare for Greece (e.g. Pseudorchis albida, Cypripedium calceolus). The results of this common effort are presented in the present two volume atlas. Specifically, the description texts are restricted to the presentation of the information and features which are necessary for the recognition of a taxon from those closely related, without providing to the readership redundant information that can not be used in its delimitation and classification. Photographically, we emphasised the presentation of a large part of the orchids' variability, in a way that this variability will be understandable and potential queries of the readership that will arise during its field excursions will be solved. Furthermore, the photographs presented have been taken from many parts of the distributional range of each orchid and as a result show a large part of their variability. The chorological data, presented in the form of a distribution map for each taxon (subspecies, species, genera and the whole family), also constitute a significant part of the Atlas of the Greek Orchids. The distribution maps, although on a small scale, provide a view of each orchid's rarity status in Greece, corresponding to their significance and importance.

Return on Investment or simply RIO measures the benefit an investor will receive in relation to their investment costs. To further simplify it, Return on Investment is the indicator of how much money your money has earned. When you are investing in something, you are either improving your product, opening different locations or putting money into marketing to promote your product or service. Every company that invests on something expects to earn more in return. Therefore, knowing where and how to invest is crucial. Otherwise, the returns can be lower than the investment itself generating loss as a result. Different meanings of investment and ROI ROI has a number of meanings and is broadly used, so it is essential to define the term before proceeding. Return on investment is often used in a general sense by business people or entrepreneurs. ROI usually means assessing the excellence of an investment or business decision. "Return" usually implies to profit excluding tax, but it is essential to clarify this with the person who uses it. Profit depends on different circumstances. The profit is usually being generated thanks to the investment. The investment might mean the total assets of the business. In this case, the assets will equal to capital plus liabilities. Liabilities are debts in general sense. An investment could also relate to an element of a business, a new service, a new plant, a new piece of equipment, any activity or an asset. How to calculate the return on investment? Return on Investment can be the net income divided by the cost of the investment which is an annual form of return on investment. ROI can also be calculated by dividing total investment gain by the original investment cost base. Let's look at some examples. Imagine an investor buys a property for half a million dollars. Two years later it sells the property for $700,000, so its gain is 200,000 dollars. That equates to return on investment of 40 percent. Now let's look at annualized return on investment figures. One of the drawbacks of traditional return on investment as you saw in the previous example was that the investor held a property for two years and got a return on investment of 40 percent. But we often like to think of performance in annual figures. So we can calculate an annualized return on investment. We take the ending value divided by the beginning value and raise it to the power of 1 divided by many years as a compound annual growth rate. You can look at the formula down below: Why annualizing the ROI is essential? Annualizing the return on investment is necessary for a bunch of different factors. The main reason is the comparison of different ROIs. For example, if a company buys a product and then sells it after just six months, its traditional return is let's say 20 percent. But because the company held the item for less than a year the annualized return on investment is going to be 40%. So it is essential to look at the regular or total return on investment and the annualized return on investment to accurately assess the overall quality of return on investment.

Q: Bukkit Plugin - comparing an arg to all possible items I have just recently started to program Bukkit plugins for personal use and for learning purposes.  I have decided to make a command-line global shop, since I'd rather not have to build a shop in-game.  Here is the code i have currently:
package me.rougelong.globalshop;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginDescriptionFile;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.bukkit.Material;

import java.util.logging.Logger;

public class globalshop extends JavaPlugin{
public final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
public static globalshop plugin;

@Override
public void onDisable() {
    PluginDescriptionFile pdfFile = this.getDescription();
    this.logger.info(pdfFile.getName() + "  Has Been Disabled!");
}

@Override
public void onEnable() {
    PluginDescriptionFile pdfFile = this.getDescription();
    this.logger.info(pdfFile.getName() + " Version " + pdfFile.getVersion() + "  Has Been Enabled!");
}

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args){
    String itemName = args[0];
    String amount = args[1];
    if (args.length > 4 && commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("shopcheck")) {
           sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Too many arguments! /shopcheck [item_name] [quantity]");
           return false;
        }
    if (args.length < 2 && commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("shopcheck")) {
           sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Not enough arguments! /shopcheck [item_name] [quantity]");
           return false;
        }
    if (args.length > 4 && commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("shopbuy")) {
           sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Too many arguments! /shopbuy [item_name] [quantity]");
           return false;
        }
    if (args.length < 2 && commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("shopbuy")) {
           sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Not enough arguments! /shopbuy [item_name] [quantity]");
           return false;
        }
    if (args.length > 4 && commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("shopsell")) {
           sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Too many arguments! /shopsell [item_name] [quantity]");
           return false;
        }
    if (args.length < 2 && commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("shopsell")) {
           sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Not enough arguments! /shopsell [item_name] [quantity]");
           return false;
        }
    if (commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("shopcheck")){
            //I need to get it to compare HERE. :P
        return false;
    }

    return false;
}

}

I need it to compare itemName, or the args[0] (would be a String. Example: "cobblestone") to all the possible items, and I would prefer not to have to write in all the items into this plugin, I was wondering how to reference the lists of items within Bukkit. I am not sure if it would be blocks, or materials, or whatever.
My question(s) is: Which would I need to import to correctly compare the arg to? What code would I use to compare that singular arg to all the items so it can identify it?
Once that code is figured out and works, I'll be moving to have it then identify a price listed either in that program(hopefully not), or in a separate file. AND then having it go to check the balance of the sending player to see if they can buy it, and then have the money subtracted and the item added to their inventory Without removing something else they have in their hand.

A: One way to do this would be to use an existing enum from Bukkit's API as the list of things that you can shop for. Each enum class supports a valueOf(String) method. Calling this method returns the specific enum value, or throws an Exception (if the string is not a valid enum constant).
String materialName = arg[n]..toUpperCase();
Material theMaterial = null;
try
{
  theMaterial = Material.valueOf(materialName );
}
catch (Exception e)
{
  //Not a valid material
}

However, if you're going to have some file or list which has all the possible materials, with their price, then you can just as easily look up that list.

A: Use the ID/Name of the material to get it. I have done it before. It is easy

Huge game coming up between our two teams on Thursday. I've been watching the majority of the Zags games this year and have been thoroughly impressed with your team, about as good as your guys squad 2 years back. I really like Wiltjer and think skill-wise he is one of the top players in the country. Pangos is rock solid as always, and the big Polski looks like he's come into his own. Too bad you guys choked that one in Arizona, outplaying that team for the most part though was a huge positive for you guys considering how good that team is in their own building.
The Gaels this year are a really scrappy, hard-working bunch. In many ways the total anti-thesis of your guys team. You guys revolve around efficient, good shooting, refined finesse basketball, while we revolve around at times ugly but ultra-physical, smash-mouth play and great rebounding.
Our team revolves around our center Brad Waldow. He is an absolute force down-low, and one on one is a real matchup nightmare. He plays mostly below the rim but has become an absolute joy to watch. He has transformed into an excellent post-passer and has a buttery-smooth touch around the hoop. That being said, your big Polish boy may be one of the only guys in the country capable of somewhat guarding him one on one, with his size and height.
At the wings we start Desmond Simmons and Garrett Jackson. Simmons is not much offensively but is a terror on the boards and the defensive end, and plays with a real edge. He has been able to shut some talented players down this year and plays the game unselfishly, and does the little things really well. Jackson was almost not playing at all during non-conference, but turned a complete 180 during the start of conference and is the reason we are 7-0 in WCC play. Really good on the boards, and when he makes his shots he is most likely our second or third best player.
We have a three guard platoon, with Aaron Bright, Kerry Carter, and Emmett Naar being the three players in question. Bright is a quick, short guard with a great handle, streaky shooting and excellent passing and court vision. He is a bit of a streaky player all around, and can have mental lapses, but when he is on really helps us out, but is a little bit jekyll and hyde.
Carter is our leader and pound for pound may be the toughest man in NCAA basketball. Plays with an edge, excellent defender with quick hands, dives on the floor for every loose ball, and can jump out of the gym. A pretty solid 3 point shooter, and smart player, his shortcomings being a somewhat limited ability to drive the rim in the halfcourt, and a propensity to be in foul trouble due to his rugged style.
Naar is just a freshman but is going to be a really good one. Already an exceptional passer with great court vision, he leads our team in assists. He Has come on as a shooter the last month or so and really is a steady hand for us in the backcourt, I never feel worried with him handling the ball. I predict he is the next great SMC guard, maybe not quite as good as Delly or Mills, but will be an All-WCC player by the time he's a senior in my opinion.
Our problem is a real drop off in quality from our top 6 players to our reserves. Dane Pineau a 6'9 power forward has shown some great flashes and had some good games, but is still a little bit physically weak and not able to score off his own move with regularity. Calvin Hermanson is a freshman small forward who has been fairly unimpressive so far this year, and is not yet a solid option for us. Jock Landale is a 6'11 freshman who will be very good in a couple years, but has been waiting in the shadows because of Waldow's play.
The good news is that our top 6 so far haven't really suffered from fatigue in any games, and always look to be full of energy. But an injury or foul trouble in any given game could spell doom.
As far as this game goes, I think that you guys have the more talented team, but will be shocked by our style and physicality a little bit. Outside of Arizona, we will be the most physical interior team you have faced. I still think you guys will beat us, but I wouldn't be suprised if it was a pretty close game. I'll wager a 5-7 point win for Gonzaga.
Hopefully it's a good one. Go Gaels!!
Cheers, Gaelfan! Thanks for the comprehensive overview. Best to both our teams this Thursday.
between karnowski and sabonis inside i would hardly consider the zags to be a finesse team...you could certainly make that case about wiltjer, but even he's become more physical than he's given credit for.
GaelfanCA, thanks for the post. Thursday should be a closely contested battle. RB always has his kids ready to play in Spokane.
Desmond Simmons and Garrett Jackson have been complementary additions to the inside game. Have watched three or four SMC games this season and they both have had spurts where they dominated.
It will be a good game. Too bad there's four days to wait.
After reading that I'm surprised the Gaels lost to Northern Arizona and aren't a top 15 team.
Thanks Gaelfanca, that was a nice synopsis of your team. I am looking forward to it. I have followed Bright since he was in high school. And yes he is quick and streaky. The bigs should be fun to watch. It should also be fun watching Wesley and Jackson playing against each other since both of them were teammates at USC. Good luck the rest of the year except for the three times you play us.
I've noticed SMC has much the same issue as the Zags in terms of not holding leads in the 2nd half. Could lead to a very entertaining game.
I think St Johns and Georgia are just as physical as your Gaels-- but maybe I just think that way because our back up point guard had his jaw broken by Georgia.
Good to see that the Gaels have picked it up in conference play as I was worried about them being competitive in the non-conf play (after the loss to 231 RPI -Northern Arizona at home-- I was thinking they slip out of the upper end of the WCC)-- but it sounds like they have figured things out and are ready to keep things interesting for the Zags.
"Choked that one in Arizona?"
A very good synopsis of a St. Mary's team that has played well the two times I watched them on television. Thanks for posting!
Real good synopsis of SM. I agree with most of what you wrote. I watch the Gaels whenever I can.
There are two types of Zags when it comes to your team. Either they hate them (in a rivalry way), or like/respect them. I fall in the latter. Delly was one of my favorite players ever, loved his energy.
As for this year's team, I think you nailed it...depth. Carter is a fierce competitor but lacks finesses. He's as liable to throw a bullet off a teammates face as he is to throw down a monster jam. I think both Bright and Simmons are streaky. After seeing some of their good games it perplexes me how invisible they can become.
They game will revolve around Waldow and Karno/Sabo. If Waldow can play well and get the GU players in foul trouble, SM has a chance. I think you also correctly predicted the line. I expect it to be about Zags -6.
From the "Predictions" thread: "Carter is everything that Gael basketball stands for, and plays with far more effort than anyone you guys put on the floor."
My thoughts exactly... Interesting comment above: "your big Polish boy may be one of the only guys in the country capable of somewhat guarding him one on one" - seems to me, our big Polish boy has more than SOMEWHAT guarded Waldow in the past.
I don't know much and I'll trust that Carter is everything Gael basketball stands for, and even that he plays with maxed out effort, I'm just not sure how that distinguishes him from Pangos, Bell, Sabonis, Karno. . . .
And, "Choked in Arizona" - well, we did lose, so....yeah. I guess we're even in choke jobs against Arizona teams, ours on the road against the then 3rd ranked team in OT and yours to "non-sub 200" Northern Arizona loss at home. :) As I said, we'll call that a draw. Or something.
I actually don't think it's disrespectful to say that if we played 10 games in Spokane, we'd win 9, and 5 of them would be by 12 or more. We'll see.
'Carter is our leader and pound for pound may be the toughest man in NCAA basketball. Plays with an edge, excellent defender with quick hands, dives on the floor for every loose ball,"
Diving for every loose ball is foolish. If he gets on the floor for the ones in his area, it might matter. Of course, Karnowski also dives on the floor for loose balls. It would be an interesting clash if they both went for the same ball!
So far, Waldow has has very limited carreer success against Karno. Despite his play this year, nothing has shown me that it will be any different, and we have Wiltjer and Sabonis for him to contend with. My prediction is that Waldow will either be ineffective, for the most part, or will foul out and play limited minutes because of that.
Of course, that's just MY opinion. Luckily for all, the answers will become evident on Thursday.
I've only seen a couple of games the Gaels have played this year but I think in some respects they are more physical than any team we've seen. Clearly not as talented as Arizona due to inferior offense and defense, but their interior and wing guys play hard. We are a very good offensive rebounding team (31st in the nation). The Gaels are one spot in front of us (30th - 36.8% according to kenpom). They are also 5th in defensive rebounding holding the opposition to 24% offensive rebounding. GU is 58th with 28.1% o-rebounding by opponents.
SMC is up to 57th in Kenpom and have good wins against BYU and Pepperdine (on the road, and we know how tough it is to win there against this year's waves squad). They also have a road win against Creighton. I'm not sure what happened with Northern Arizona.
If this was at SMC I'd be calling it a toss-up, but at home we've played well. Last year Karno had 15 and 9 to Waldow's 5 and 3 when they matched up in Spokane. Karno out played him at SMC as well (10 and 6 vs 9 and 3). Finally, in a lop-sided GU win in the WCC tourney Waldow eclipsed Karno's 2 point, 4 rebound effort with 14 points and 3 rebounds. So overall, last season Waldow averaged 7 and 3 against Karnowski.
Waldow is having a great season and is marginally better in a number of efficiency statistics. I'm looking forward to the matchup and think Karno's defense will bother Waldow again. Can the other players beat GU on their home court? I don't think so. GU gets motivated and wins by 15.
Whether it's a Kennel or a Dog Pound, sometimes I feel like we're walking in there with pork chops in our pockets.
I hope it turns out to be a good game with no injuries. And yes I am saying, "there is a chance".
Additionally, as much as we all love a good media-driven narrative, "scrappy" doesn't necessarily = "better." In fact, most of the time, "scrappy" is code for "untalented."
Don't get me wrong: David Pendergraft is my all-time favorite Zag. But if given the choice between his "scrappiness" and Sabonis' raw skill, I'm taking Domas every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Our team revolves around our center Brad Waldow. He is an absolute force down-low, and one on one is a real matchup nightmare. He plays mostly below the rim but has become an absolute joy to watch. He has transformed into an excellent post-passer and has a buttery-smooth touch around the hoop. That being said, your big Polish boy may be one of the only guys in the country capable of somewhat guarding him one on one, with his size and height. !
I watched the SMC/BYU game Thursday night and my first thought was at their offense clearly runs through Waldo and that they will not be able to be as successful against us so long as Shem stays out of foul trouble. I am confident that between Sabonis and Shem, Waldo will have a tough game. After Waldo, I am not terribly worried about anyone else on that squad.
As for Carter... he has an annoying arrogance about him that rubs me wrong. I have always viewed Saint Mary's as similar to Gonzaga in that they recruit quality individuals who are also good basketball players. Maybe I'm wrong, but Carter comes across as a thug.
Really looking forward to the game on Thursday. I'm predicting a double digit victory for GU.
Sorry folks, Creighton is 9-10 on the season and 0-6 in conference play. St. Mary's ain't getting credit for a quality win for that one, not even close. They are nothing without the departed McDermott.
I am a Brad Waldo fan, ever since since he got his tooth knocked out, picked it up, ran to the sidelines , threw the tooth to the third person he tried to hand it to, ran back and played the rest of the game with a bloody mouth and the pain. That was his freshman year and he has continued to improve. It will be very interesting if carter gets guarded by Melson who also has tendency and can play thug like.
Really? Maybe you can say Arizona was the better team? Or they earned the win? Both of which are true. It was a daunting task anyway just to go to Arizona and be close, but if Wiltjer's shot goes in, we win. I don't understand that point. I could go on and on about Northern Arizona or Boise State, or St. Johns, but I won't.
I really like SMC, I don't really care for Carter, but that's not the point. SMC is a very good basketball team, and I think we will be in for a good game Thursday. I enjoyed your Gaels preview. I have watched SMC in the Boise State, St. John's and BYU games. They look really good. Waldow vs Karnowski should be fun to watch.
Memorable moment indeed. That's when he surpassed Samhan in my eyes. Tough cookie.
I would imagine Bell will get the Carter assignment, but who knows ?
hahaha. I remember that too. I think he tried to give the tooth to Randy Bennett if I recall correctly, and he looked at him with a face that said "Get that away from me" hahaha. It was definitely memorable. I respect Waldow. Good kid.
If "folks" is me, that's why I said they had quality wins against BYU and Pepperdine and separately stated they had a road win against Creighton.
Even so, it is fairly noteworthy because Creighton was playing pretty well then and is still not as bad as their record might suggest. Going into that game Creighton was 8 and 2 with some quality wins against Oklahoma and Nebraska. Outside of the unexplainable road loss to North Texas Creighton has lost to the following teams with kenpom rank: Mississippi (35) neutral site, Tulsa (58) road game, Saint Mary's (57) home, Providence (51) road, Georgetown (46) road, DePaul (149) home, Seton Hall (36) home, Marquette (92) road, Providence (51) home.
Overall, Creighton is ranked 114 by kenpom (not great, but not bad either). They may end up with a horrible record (they are only favored to win 1 more game) but I don't think they are "nothing" either.
All due respect, but i can think of at least 10 guys that would give Waldow fits. Also, "Buttery-smooth touch around the basket"...."Carter may be the toughest man in NCAA basketball"....."ultra physical and smash mouth".......hahahahahahaha. You might have drank a little too much of the hometown Kool-aid, but you are nothing short of a comedic genius.
Before things get further out of whack, Kerry Carter is not a thug. He is mostly all business on the floor and is a team leader. He is exactly the type of player Zag fans have admired in many of your hustle players over the years. His fouls are often "touch" fouls not hard fouls. He is a team guy. When his shot was off against BYU Carter ended up with 5 steals I believe.
Off the court, from someone who knows, Carter is intelligent, personable, a finance major and he volunteers his time at Kid's Camp.
The question that everyone is wanting to know the answer to is........Does he like long walks on the beach?
You know, I thought the same thing after I wrote it. Excellent retort.
Gael, we played some very tough teams during a very long road stretch. How do you think your schedule matched up? Do you think that the current Gaels team can win in the Marriott Center? My guess is that the Zags might play a tough close game in Moraga, but I'm not worried to see you at our house.
A nice article on the Gaels.
I think our schedule was lacking to say the least but this year it was likely a huge benefit since we needed time for the team to blend together which is still a work in progress. Remember we only had 2 returning starters and our first off the bench is a freshman.
We won in the Marriott Center before so we won't be overwhelmed with its size. We also played in front of !6,400+at Creighton this year. Also, three of our current starters are all Pac-12 guys so I don't think they will be intimidated with the size of a facility itself. The ferocity of the crowd might be cause for a double take.
I was hoping to hear a post-game synopsis of the SMU-GU game from Gaelsfan - lots of pre game posts, but nothing afterward?
Maybe he choked on the crow he was eating in the second half. . .
He/she is trolling the GUB this afternoon. Slow day in Gael-ville. . .
I saw that... He/she sounds a little bitter so that answers my original question.

Loving your blog. I am a new friend here. See you next time.

Ishan Hariasays:
Thank you for your kind words and appreciating my work!! 😊
You are very welcome dear, let's keep in touch.
Yes, sure.


After my Android phone vibrated itself to death (the alarm went off, and the phone died.) I decided I would give Windows Phone 8 a try. So I Ebayed myself a HTC 8xt for Sprint. The phone cost me about $130 bucks without contract (used) it arrived in great shape and ready to be activated.
My initial reaction to the phone was, holy crap this thing is thin/small, too small for my hands even. I found after holding the phone for more than 10 minutes, my hand would start to hurt, but for those with smaller hands, I would expect this to be an excellent size. Amazingly, for the size, the phone has a removable battery, and a spot for an SD card. which was definitely a nice touch. At first glance you may think the screen is a higher resolution, but if you do any article reading etc on your phone, the text is not going to be all that crisp as it's only a 800*480 4.3″ display.
After some use, I found that I actually kinda like the Windows Phone 8 OS . The OS is very smooth and fluid, and this is quite noticeable with the 8XT. The 8XT by say Android standards is an underpowered phone. With just a dual core 1.4 GHz proc, and 1 GB of RAM you would expect a little chop on the Android OS, but it's simply not the case here. While navigating, everything always felt smooth and quick. The also very noticeable difference from my Android phone was battery life. I came from an LG optimus G (Sprint) and while the battery life here was usually enough to get me through the day, I very much feel like a could go 2 days here without chanrging my phone. The camera here is pretty good, it's been my experience that the WP8 cameras outperform their Android counterparts, and this phone is not much of an exception. While those looking for a great action shot everytime should still look to a dedicated camera, this certainly can shoot some nice stills with it's 8 MP camera.
Now for the bad, While the Windows Phone OS is quickly picking up steam going from 2.5% market share in 2012, to 3.2% in 2013. This represents a huge amount of growth for the Microsoft mobile OS, but still means it's playing third fiddle to Apple's IOS 15.6%and Androids whopping 78.1%. Which unfortunately means WP8 is still struggling to get all the apps you see in the Android, or IOS systems.
Overall, I'd give the phone a 69/100. With it's biggest asses being it's svelte figure, and oustanding battery life, and the weakness hands down being the lack of Apps. The Windows Phone 8 OS is beginning to feel a bit dated when compared to the more recent releases of Android, and IOS, but its still quite snappy. It'd be interesting to see if this phone gets the WP8.1 update, and what all that update will entail when MS puhes it. If you want a smartphone, for email, and web browsing, and don't much care about apps, this is worth a look. As for me, I'll likely be going back to Android.


Harry Shearer is the man behind Principal Skinner, Mr. Burns and Ned Flanders - among many, many others on the iconic cartoon sitcom.
Screenshot from BBC of Ned Flanders and Mr. Burns, two of Harry Shearer's most noteworthy characters.
Harry Shearer, the voice behind Principal Skinner, Mr. Burns and Ned Flanders (among many other characters), announced on Twitter that he is leaving "The Simpsons" after 25 years.
The prolific 71-year-old voice actor quoted Simpsons showrunner James L. Brooks' lawyer, who said "the show will go on, Harry will not be part of it."
According to Shearer, his apparent "lack of freedom to do other work" is the primary cause of the split.
Shearer, the son of Jewish immigrants from Austria and Poland, had not signed a contract for the upcoming 27th season of the long-running show. However, producers remained optimistic that Shearer would re-join the show.

WROC Poll Shows Evans Leads Warren
May 25, 2021Hot NewsComments Off on WROC Poll Shows Evans Leads Warren
Patti Singer
pattisinger@minorityreporter.net
City Councilmember Malik Evans, left, is challenging Mayor Lovely Warren. Provided photos
With less than one month before the mayoral primary, challenger Malik Evans leads incumbent Lovely Warren, but the extent of his edge depends on how the numbers are parsed.
Evans, a member of Rochester City Council, leads the mayor by 46% to 45% among very likely voters, according to a WROC-TV/Emerson College poll. Among voters who said they were somewhat likely to vote, Evans led, 59% to 13%.
Overall, Evans led by 49% to 39%. The poll reported that 12% of likely voters remained undecided.
The poll was conducted May 21-22, which by coincidence were the days immediately after Warren's husband had been arrested on drug and weapons charges.
The poll had been planned for weeks, said Wendy Bello, WROC-TV vice president and general manager. She said questions about the incident were added to gauge influences on voters' decisions and opinions and had the poll not been updated, it may not have been a pure representation of the political landscape.
In responding to a question about the news, 83% of Democratic voters reported that they are following the story somewhat or very closely. Only 4% of likely voters said they had not heard about the issue.
Among respondents, 39% said the news makes them more likely to vote for Warren, while 25% said they were now less likely to vote for Warren and 36) said the news has no impact on their voting decision.
Warren and Evans were scheduled for debate at 7 p.m. May 25 to be broadcast by WROC-TV, News 8.
Evans had 84% support among white voters compared to Warren at 11%. Warren had a 63% to 31% edge among Hispanic voters and 47% to 37% edge among Black voters. Warren led, 43% to 42%, among college-educated voters while Evans led, 65% to 31%, among non-college educated.
The primary is June 22 and early voting starts June 12.
The poll sampled 1,000 registered voters and used an interactive voice response system of landlines and a cellphone sample of SMS-to-web. The poll had a margin of error of plus-or-minus three percentage points.
As for other issues addressed by the poll:
56% of Rochester voters disapproved of Warren's handling of the Daniel Prude case, while 17% approve and 23% are unsure. Among Democratic likely primary voters, 59% disapprove of how Warren handled the case.
71%, consider the campaign finance charges faced by Warren as either somewhat or very serious, while 21% say the charges are not serious, and 9% were unsure.
When asked what issue the next mayor should put first, voters report being most concerned with jobs at 26%, followed by police reform at 18%, healthcare at 17%, and housing at 15%.
As for how City Council has responded to calls for more police accountability: 39% approve, 36% disapprove and 26% are undecided. Among Democrats, 48% approve and 31% disapprove. Among Republicans, 49% disapprove and 28% approve. Independents report the lowest approval rate, at 19%, while 42% disapprove and 39% are unsure.
65% of voters view the Rochester Police Department at least somewhat favorably, while 30% view it at least somewhat unfavorably, and 5% are unsure. Independents report the highest favorable rating of the RPD, at 82%, followed by 68% of Republicans. Among Democrats, 58% see the Rochester PD favorably.
40% of voters said they would rate the current state of Rochester as fair, while 30% said bad, 22% said good and 7% said excellent.
46% opposed potential mayoral control of the Rochester City School District, 26% were in favor and 28% were unsure.
As for general approval of public officials, 70% of voters in Rochester report approving of President Joe Biden's job while 25% disapprove. Regarding Gov. Andrew Cuomo, 54% of Rochester voters approve, while 36% disapprove. Current Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren has the lowest approval rating, with 35% approval and 51% disapproval.

The Moscow region's great trash upheaval A movement against poor trash management and public health risks erupts outside Russia's capital

A protest in Volokolamsk against the local landfill, March 10, 2018
Sergey Fadeichev / TASS / Scanpix / LETA
Several protests against landfills and trash incineration plants took place outside Moscow in mid-March. The local authorities are largely ignoring the demonstrations and refusing to comment on the matter, even when some of these rallies attract upwards of 5,000 people. Meduza takes a closer look at this movement.
Update: Twenty-three children were hospitalized at a school in Volokolamsk, outside Moscow, with signs of poisoning on March 21. After initial rumors that someone had released a gas canister in a classroom, city officials confirmed that the children were actually feeling the effects of hydrogen sulfide being released into the air by the nearby "Yadrovo" landfill. All Volokolamsk schools are still operating normally, despite the apparent health risk.
The government called a state of emergency on March 7 in the area around the Yadrovo landfill in the Moscow region's Volokolamsky district, citing dangerously high levels of hydrogen sulfide and chlorine in the atmosphere. Saying this doesn't go far enough, locals in Volokolamsk want the emergency measures extended to their town. Beginning on March 8, residents started assembling in the road outside the landfill, sometimes trying to block the path of garbage trucks. Police officers have intervened, dispersing protesters and clearing the way for vehicles. On March 8, officers detained 10 demonstrators.
On March 10, around 5,000 Volokolamsk residents assembled for a rally against the Yadrovo landfill, complaining that it is emitting a noxious stink engulfing their city. "My neighbors' kid was poisoned by the bad air last week. They had to call an ambulance for him. The doctor confirmed the poisoning was caused by air from the dump," Natalya, a resident of Volokolamsk (she asked us not to give her surname), told Meduza. "Once again we can't let the kids play on the street, and as soon as my husband and I rush home, we try to block any gaps around the windows. Every day, when we go out in the street, we get a splitting headache almost immediately." When she was still running for president, Ksenia Sobchak attended a protest in Volokolamsk on March 10, when the dump was shut down for a single day.
On March 10, Moscow Governor Andrey Vorobyev issued instructions to "get rid of the stench" within three months. Thirteen people were detained on March 11, when residents again tried to stop garbage trucks from entering the landfill.
Town resident Tatyana Bakhmetyeva told Meduza that on March 10 an announcement was posted on the website of the Moscow regional Emergencies Ministry saying that the Aleksinsky Quarry and Kuchino landfill sites near the town had been closed, and now garbage would be taken to the Yadrovo landfill in Volokolamsk (the announcement was subsequently edited, but the original version can be accessed here). Bakhmetyeva says residents nonetheless saw garbage trucks heading for the Aleksinsky Quarry that very day. Around 100 people staged an unplanned protest.
The demonstrators assembled near the landfill and called the police, urging officers to block access to the dump and investigate why garbage trucks were continuing to take trash there, even though the landfill had been closed. "Roman Chistyakov, the deputy chief of police, arrived," Tatyana Bakhmetyeva said. "We showed him the printout from the Emergencies Ministry website saying that Aleksinsky Quarry was officially closed. Then I called the Moscow regional Emergencies Ministry, and they confirmed this to me."
Chistyakov left, and then came back two hours later and said "there was a misprint" on the website and the landfill was still in operation. Police officers then immediately started detaining people. Eight protesters were charged with taking part in an unsanctioned demonstration, and a court fined these individuals as much as 20,000 rubles ($350).
This protest followed an earlier demonstration in Klin on March 4. "The administration claimed it was a paid protest and said we'd all been bussed in. How can you claim that when our kids can hardly breathe?" Bakhmetyeva asked Meduza, saying the protesters hoped to catch Vladimir Putin's attention ahead of the March 18 presidential election. The Klinsky District administration told Meduza that the press service duty officer was away at a meeting and would respond by the evening, but he still could not be reached at that time.
On March 11, around 300 Balashikha residents assembled to protest the pollution control system at the Kuchino landfill. "Last year we called Putin during his call-in and complained about the terrible smell from the Kuchino landfill," local resident Boris Karpov told Meduza. "Soon after this, the dump was closed. But its decommissioning is not yet finished, and the chimneys burning off gas at the site are an obvious health hazard. Ever since, reclamation work has been under way at the site, the air in the town has been really oppressive, and it's hard to breathe."
The press secretary of the head of Balashikha's administration did not answer Meduza's calls.

On March 11, around 450 residents took part in an environmental rally in Troitsk, outside Moscow. They demanded that the closure of the Malinki landfill near the town and the abandonment of plans for a new landfill in the same area. Anton Zyuzin, one of the organizers of the action, told Vedomosti that Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin has signed an edict to mothball the site, but residents fear "the site will be de-mothballed after the March 18 election."
A staffer of the Troitsk administration's architecture department (she refused to give her name) told Meduza that the Malinki landfill is territorially closer to the Krasnopakhorskoye rural settlement, so that settlement is responsible for it. The Krasnopakhorskoye administration front office told Meduza that administration deputy head Aleksey Zotov could comment on the situation regarding the landfill and put us through to him. The official who answered the phone there told Meduza that he had no intention of giving his name. "The Malinki landfill is indeed near us, but nobody went to the rally against it. I've heard nothing about this," he said.
On March 9, around 500 people in Sergiev Posad attended a rally opposing the construction of a new local garbage incineration plant. Residents here, unlike those in other towns, demanded the opening of a new landfill and also the resignation of Moscow Governor Andrey Vorobyev. "We think Vorobyev has no business holding the post," activist Petr Borzov, a participant in the protest, told Meduza. "If he's allowed the whole regional to breathe polluted air, then he should step down." Borzov added that here, too, protesters were seeking to attract attention before the elections.
The Sergiev Posad administration press service refused to speak to Meduza about the protest.

Meet the Crew: Richard Burchell – Clipper '96 Crew Back Racing on Clipper 2019-20 Race
Name: Richard Burchell
Occupation: Chiropodist
Hometown: Caterham, Surrey
Leg: Circumnavigation
Team: Imagine you Korea
Twenty-three years after Richard Burchell, 62, took part in Clipper '96, the very first Clipper Race, Richard has returned to circumnavigate the globe on the current edition of the race. Describing his experience, he said: "I did one leg of Clipper '96; I went to Hawaii, Japan and Hong Kong and had such a fantastic time, I promised myself when the time was right I would return to go around the world."
The very first Clipper Round the World Yacht Race started on Wednesday 16 October 1996, with the eight-strong fleet of 60-foot yachts departing Plymouth, UK for the American port of Fort Lauderdale via Madeira. The inaugural race's route took in ports including the Galapagos, Hawaii, Yokohoama, Salvador and the Azores before returning to Plymouth on 14 September 1997. Fast forward to the Clipper 2019-20 Race and Richard has set off to the sound of thousands of people cheering him on from the banks of St. Katharine Docks, London as part of a fleet of eleven 70ft yachts.
Richard, who is embarking on the challenge with the Imagine your Korea team, shared what drew him back to the Clipper Race for a second time – the people. He says, "I remember an awful lot about the people I sailed with and that is what drew me back. Barely a month goes by when I don't think about someone I shared the experience with on Clipper '96."
The important message that Richard wants to send out to anyone, is to take opportunities when you can, whatever the dream. "I am a Chiropodist and I've sold the family business and decided now is the time, before I get too old, to circumnavigate with the Clipper Race. I am overwhelmed by the amount of support and encouragement I have received and I truly hope that I encourage others to do what they want to do, as so often we put things off."
He continued: "My father had a stroke seven years ago and is now in a wheelchair. He promised himself that when he retired, he would do all sorts of wonderful things but that has been taken away from him. That is the other thing that prompted me to take on this opportunity." His lasting advice is to "never give yourself the chance to look back and think 'if only I had', because that's terrible."
The intrepid crew member puts his desire to sail around the world down to his high school experience. "My sailing experience started at Riddlesdown High School where my geography teacher, Don Garman, wanted to take people out on a sailing course in the '70's – it sparked my interest in sailing. I am so pleased to have been able to tell him recently that what he started all those years ago has resulted in me doing this. I want him to know that one small thing has resulted in me taking part in the Clipper Race". Richard now hopes to inspire people, whatever their circumstances, to follow their dreams.
And whilst the 40,000nm ocean race is Richard's dream adventure, he is also hoping to tick a few more goals off his list, including diving in the Great Barrier Reef and sailing past the statue of Liberty into New York. He has friends and family tracking his progress via the Race Viewer and he is keenly documenting all of his experiences, to inspire younger generations. He says: "My ex-girlfriend's Grandson, Kian, is following me everyday. He has given me an exercise book so I can write a blog every day and he is following me on the Race Viewer. At school he is learning about each country we will be visiting. The school has embraced it!"
To join Junior Race Supporter Kian, and track the race, visit the Race Viewer and keep up to date with Richard's news from onboard here. Warning, it does make for addictive viewing.

Q: Faster way of sampling pandas rows by group than simple lambda apply So I have a dataframe df_hist that I'm sampling a row by a group pat_mrn_id. It's pretty darn slow and there's got to be a vectorized way of doing this.
Code example below
import random
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

N = int(1e8)
A_list = np.random.randint(1, 100, N)
B_list = np.random.randint(1, 100, N)
mrns = [random.randint(0,1000) for i in range(N)]
d = {'pat_mrn_id':mrns,'a_list':A_list,'b_list':B_list}
df_hist = pd.DataFrame(data=d)
df_hist.groupby('pat_mrn_id').apply(lambda x: x.sample(1)).reset_index(drop=True)

Tea Party 2.0? CNBC's Rick Santelli fiery exchange over COVID lockdowns
Posted by Leslie Eastman	Saturday, December 5, 2020 at 10:00am | 12/5/2020 - 10:00am
Debate reminiscent of Santelli's famous 2009 "Tea Party" comments
"Squawk Box" co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin and CNBC's Rick Santelli had a very fiery exchange over coronavirus restrictions and their effectiveness.
Few events have so clearly demonstrated the divide between Americans who are fine with restrictions, versus those who doubt their usefulness at preventing infections.
Santelli — a veteran business personality and former bond trader, who typically reports for CNBC from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange — suggested that U.S. policymakers should reconsider the balance between public-health restrictions, particularly on restaurants, with permitting more economic activity. He alluded to the recent controversies involving politicians such as Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, who caught heat for attending a birthday dinner for a friend at a posh restaurant in the San Francisco Bay Area.
"Therefore there is actually, and should be, an ongoing debate as to why a parking lot for a big box store, like by my house, is jam-packed. Not one parking spot open," Santelli said. "Why are those people any safer than a restaurant with Plexiglas? I just don't get it. And I think there's a million of these questions that could be asked."
"I think it's really sad that when we look at the service sector and all the discussions we've had about job losses that that particular dynamic isn't studied more, isn't worked more, we don't put more people in a room and try to figure out ways so that these service-sector employees and employers can all come back in a safer way," said Santelli.
"You can't tell me that shutting down, which is the easiest answer, is necessarily the only answer."
Quite frankly, Sorkin's moralizing about Santelli's answer by citing "health experts" is laughable. Those "experts" have been wrong about so many issues related to coronavirus, its treatments, and the speed of vaccine development.
The heated debate with Sorkin was reminiscent of Santelli's famous "Tea Party" speech in 2009, when he blasted Washington policymakers for funneling trillions of dollars to bail out various sectors that had been hit during the era's financial crisis.
Pushed to the brink, Santelli, speaking on the "Squawk Box" show, exploded into a rant resembling the famous "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" diatribe from the character Howard Beale in the 1976 movie "Network."
As he closed the segment, he turned to traders on the floor and asked them if they would like to bail out their neighbors who had spent too much money on their homes. A chorus of "no" ensued. Earlier in the segment, he suggested he and some others in Chicago planned that summer to throw a "tea party" to show their anger.
Closing, he turned to the camera and asked, "President Obama, are you listening?"
It was Sentelli's 'rant' that directly led to Americans across the country, myself included, to use social media to organize Tea Party groups.
Who knows, maybe this debate will lead to mask burning parties? Perhaps more businesses will defy orders and stay open during their usually highly profitable Christmas season…while sheriffs departments look the other way? Americans can get very creative in their defiance.
Clearly, all the restrictions have done have delayed the spread of the virus, which will not disappear until enough people have had it (or the vaccine) and are immune. The best approach is early detection, early treatment when significant symptoms begin, and protecting vulnerable populations with sensible precautions.
Meanwhile, in California, I had to race to my hairstylist today. He was scrambling to get as many clients in as possible before the new set of extreme restrictions issued by California Gov. Gavin "French Laundry" Newsom kick in.
Gov. Gavin Newsom said the new round of regional stay-at-home orders would take effect as intensive-care beds filled up. Millions of people across Southern and Central California are likely to see outdoor dining shuttered, playgrounds roped off and hair salons closed within days if the available intensive-care capacity in their areas dips below a 15 percent threshold.
The new restrictions will last for at least three weeks, strictly limit store capacity and allow restaurants to serve only takeout or delivery. The governor also said people should temporarily call off all nonessential travel.
"If we don't act now our hospital system will be overwhelmed," Mr. Newsom said. "If we don't act now we'll continue to see our death rate climb."
So we're back to "flattening the curve" again…but with a population that is up to its eyeballs with politicians' hypocrisies and is justifiably skeptical that bureaucrats' orders will kill viruses rather than their businesses.

The thing that stood out to me about this exchange was the child actor Sorkin's smug condescension. It was even more disgusting than the inanity of his "arguments."
THIS is what the Left has been reduced to.
gibbie | December 5, 2020 at 11:56 am
Correction: The left started out like this. It's called adolescence.
Hurricane | December 5, 2020 at 2:06 pm
Sorkin is a fascist, very anti-2A.
Antifundamentalist | December 5, 2020 at 10:56 am
Tea Party 2.0… The Tea Party was a good thing, until establishment Republicans hijacked the movement.
CKYoung | December 5, 2020 at 10:57 am
sorkin: But there is no truth that WE don't DECLARE is the truth. Science!
Santelli: Are you for real? GFY!
In case you want to save 3:20 seconds of your life by not watching a cnbc product.
gonzotx | December 5, 2020 at 11:11 am
The reason the Tea Pary failed is it never had a real leader and was sabotaged by the Republican Party. Anyone that ran on its platform was bought off or defeated..
It needed a leader like Trump
Trump IS the American Party!
cybervigilante | December 5, 2020 at 11:50 am
Oddly, the flu rate is the same as pre-covid. So if masks aren't stopping the flu, how are they stopping covid?
SeekingRationalThought | December 5, 2020 at 11:50 am
Sorkin is a mental midget unable to reason and with a deep need to take orders from others. He reminds me of 1950's "conservatives" who had memorized some rules without understanding their meaning or purpose. When asked to justify their positions and beliefs, all the could do was shout out "Unamerican!" Today's "progressives" are in the same position. They are unthinking followers trained in dogma but uneducated. When pressed to support their positions and beliefs, all they can do is shout "Racism" or "Science" all the while not having a clue what those words actually mean or about the consequences of their actions.
Another Voice | December 5, 2020 at 11:59 am
Lois G. Lerner, the IRS official who oversaw tax-exempt groups admitted to holding and delaying tax exempt status to groups who exposed conservative reasons on their applications. As a direct result the "Tea Party" groups were denied their right to succeed and reach their potential impact for conservative voters as a direct result of federal interference at I.R.S. It was with collusion and with knowledge from other federal head honchos, that the applications received from over 75 organizations from 2010 forward seeking tax-exempt status were selected and extensively delayed or burdened with undue extra inquiry including burdensome questionnaires and, in some cases, improper requests for the names of their donors simply because of the words in their names.
notamemberofanyorganizedpolicital | December 6, 2020 at 2:22 pm
Remember Legal Insurrection was one of those groups that was denied their rightful claim to tax-exempt status by her.
texansamurai | December 5, 2020 at 12:14 pm
sorkin definitely has one of those " punch me! " faces–kudos to santelli for refraining from doing so
Mac45 | December 5, 2020 at 12:50 pm
Just a couple of things here.
First, the severity of COVID-19, as a public health issue, is a media and public health industry generated scam. It does not exist. A vaccine or herd immunity? Please. Where is wide spread immunity from the various strains of influenza or the common cold? It does not exist and it never will. Neither will it exist for COVID, a disease with a recovery rate of 99.96-99.99%. So, WAKE THE F*** UP.
Now, the Tea Party. While a good idea and a good effort, it was largely nothing more than an ineffective feel-good activity. It produced NO lasting results and very few immediate results. It was almost immediately taken control of by Establishment GOPe interests and rendered impotent. Now, most of the people who were drawn to the Tea Party movement went on to become Trump supporters. But, the Tea Party organization was a dinosaur by that time and largely extinct.
Subotai Bahadur | December 5, 2020 at 1:55 pm
Let us say that TEA PARTY 1.0 = Dec. 16, 1773 and that time frame. Further, let us say that the time frame of TEA PARTY 2.0 started about in 2009. Human politics and progress is not linear. Can we posit that we are actually closer to say a TEA PARTY 1.5 based on say three years after TEA PARTY 1.0?
If electoral politics are permanently corrupted and votes falsified, and the law is a multi-tiered affair that does not protect the mass of the population, what remains as an alternative?

Pathcoin | December 5, 2020 at 3:58 pm
One cannot contain a virus that is environmentally hardy and can survive on a surface for 28 days. A thought experiment:
Hermetically seal each person in their own containment chamber for 30 days. 30 days is chosen because the virus can survive for 28 days on a surface. If everyone is so contained then there is a chance the lockdown will work. However, in reality. as we learned, essential workers must be allowed to work. Each essential worker is a conduit to break the hermetic seal and act as a reservoir for the virus. The containment of some, but not all of the population, is doomed to failure.
Sally MJ | December 6, 2020 at 12:36 am
That "surfaces" claim has been debunked as far as I know.
