East-West Center Alum David Stilwell Confirmed as Top U.S. Diplomat for Asia Pacific
HONOLULU (June 13, 2019) -- East-West Center alumnus David R. Stilwell was confirmed by 94-3 vote of the U.S. Senate today as the new U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs. Stilwell, a retired Air Force Brigadier General, received his master's degree in Asian studies as an EWC grantee in the 1980s and later was an Adjunct Senior Fellow with the Center.
Stilwell retired from the U.S. Air Force in 2015 at the rank of Brigadier General. Before retiring, he served as Deputy Director for Politico-Military Affairs for Asia, Joint Staff, the Pentagon, Washington, D.C. where he was responsible for regional planning and policy, and for the implementation of the national security strategy, supporting the commanders of U.S. Pacific Command and U.S. Central Command. Additionally, he provided politico-military advice to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of Defense. Prior to that he served as Defense Attaché to the People's Republic of China (2011-13). From 2008-2010, he served as Commander of the 35th Fighter Wing, Misawa Air Base, Japan, where he enacted national strategy in the region as an F-16 pilot and operational commander.
General Stilwell entered the Air Force in 1980 as a Korean linguist. After a tour of duty in Korea, he attended the U.S. Air Force Academy, graduating in 1987 with a degree in Asian history. He then attended the University of Hawaii as an East-West Center participant, earning a Master's degree in Asian Studies and Chinese language in 1988.

The Vaselli Chapel inside the San Petronio Basilica in Bologna, Italy, is small and "quite easy not to notice," says ceramic artist Susan Snyder. Yet its 16th-century hand-painted tiles featuring fantastical creatures, bold mandala patterns, and inexplicable, offbeat symbols (like a human heart that appears to be floating in underwear) provide direct and ongoing inspiration for Snyder's Susanna Italiana Pottery.
A Bloomington native, Snyder spent a year in Bologna in the early 1990s while an undergraduate at Indiana University, then returned to the small town of Faenza, Italy, for master training in maiolica pottery. She spent 1,100 hours learning the Renaissance-era born craft, which employs a white, tin-glazed base that makes its colors especially vivid and often depicts mythical or historical scenes.
Upon returning to Bloomington, Snyder built her career by teaching ceramics classes at the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center while selling her dinner sets, tiles, and backsplashes in galleries, regional arts and crafts shows, and working on custom projects for clients' homes. Her work has been featured on the HGTV program That's Clever!, in two books by Lark Crafts, and the Russian magazine Home.

East Bay Rep. Barbara Lee lost out last week at a chance to become the chair of the House Democratic Party Caucus.
Likely incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made amends for the result by creating a spot for Lee as a third co-chair of the party's congressional Steering and Policy Committee.
East Bay Rep. Eric Swalwell and Connecticut Rep. Rose Delauro, current co-chairs, will be expanded to include Lee, who was defeated in the caucus chair race by New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.
Following the vote last week, Lee suggested sexism and ageism had denied her a chance at becoming the first African American woman to hold a position within the Democratic Party's congressional leadership team.
Lee was previously vice-chair of the Steering and Policy Committee.

Ever fancied the idea of making your own fresh pasta at home but thought it looked too difficult? Or maybe you've heard that you can't do it without an expensive pasta machine? Well, now you no longer need to put off making your own fabulous fresh pasta. The recipe below is easy and you don't need a pasta machine!
That's right, you can form your own homemade pasta with nothing more than a rolling pin and a sharp knife!
The first step in pasta making is learning how to make the dough. Traditionally, pasta dough is made from scratch on a flat surface, no bowls are used. If you think you'd prefer the old school method feel free to try it, the process is exactly the same as the recipe outlined below, but dispenses with the mixing bowl. The advantage of using a mixing bowl, though, especially for first time pasta makers, is that it saves an awful lot of mess.
The flour used for making pasta is of the utmost importance. You cannot just use standard plain flour and expect great pasta. To get proper texture and taste you have only two options: "Tipo 00″ flour (Tipo 00 is a measure of the flour's fineness) or semolina flour. Either one of these flours will give good results – some pasta chefs use a half and half blend of both.
Place the flour in the bottom of a wide, shallow mixing bowl.
Form a deep well in the middle of the flour.
Crack your eggs into this well.
Add the salt and the olive oil to the eggs.
Using a large fork, carefully whisk the eggs, salt and olive oil together until they are all combined and the mixture is a smooth, uniform colour. During this part of the process your aim is just to mix the eggs, not to mix in any of the flour. In effect, the flour is just acting as a container for the egg mixture.
Once the eggs are thoroughly combined you can start to mix in the flour. Do this by slightly widening the strokes of your fork so that the flour begins to be drawn into the egg mix little by little. Patience is very important during this stage as one of the most important things about making pasta is achieving an absolutely uniform consistency.
Continue to work the flour into the egg. The mixture will become increasingly stiff as more and more flour is absorbed. You'll eventually reach a point where almost all the flour is blended and the mix is so stiff you can't effectively use your fork anymore.
Put your fork aside and work the remaining flour into the dough with your hands.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for five minutes. The dough will feel tacky at first but this should disappear as you knead. If the dough remains tacky just sprinkle it with a little extra flour during the kneading process.
Your aim is to achieve a dough that is firm but still tender. You can tell when you've got to this stage by forming the dough into a ball and pressing it quickly with your fingers – if the dough springs back a little it's the right consistency.
Wrap your dough in cling film and set it aside for 15 minutes. You can put it in the fridge during this time, but it isn't absolutely necessary. It's the resting period that's important, not the temperature.
Now comes the part that you probably always thought you needed one of those fancy pasta machines for. All you really need is a large surface, a rolling pin (the heavier the better) and a sharp knife.
Unwrap your ball of dough, place it on a lightly floured surface and begin to roll it out into a wide disk with your rolling pin. Roll the pin away from you to stretch the dough in one direction, then turn the dough 90˚ and roll again.
By repeating this process over and over you'll form a nicely shaped disk of dough. Keep rolling until the dough is about 2 – 3 mm thick. Take your time, be patient and make sure you get an even thickness all over (very important).
When you have rolled out your disk of pasta dough, take one side of it and lightly fold it over about 4 cm, then flip this portion again and repeat until you have rolled up the whole disk.
Take a sharp knife and, starting at one end of your "roll", slice off disks of pasta. How thick you make these disks depends on the type of pasta you want. Linguine, say, will be abut 3 or 4 mm wide, while tagliatelle will be double this.
When you have sliced up all your pasta, unroll the disks into strands and place them in a loose heap. Sprinkle with a little semolina to prevent the pasta strands sticking to each other. Allow to sit for one hour before cooking.
And there you have it – great homemade pasta, fresher than fresh, that didn't require any fiddly gadgets or expensive ingredients. All you have to do now is throw it into a large pot of boiling water, cook for about 3 minutes and serve with your favourite pasta sauce!

Osama's COVID-19 Rescue
Osama, 30, is trying to live a regular life with his family in Syria. During the day, he works as a nurse to support his family and country. Unfortunately, Osama developed COVID-19 symptoms, including muscle and joint discomfort, as well as a complete loss of smell and taste.
After his wife encouraged him, he agreed to seek out care at SRD's Isolation Center in Al-Bab.
"A coronavirus swab was performed on him, and he was quarantined in the facility while waiting on the results of the swab. After a positive result was confirmed, a treatment plan was created," said Dr. Abdullah.
When Osama's test came back positive, he began treatment with vitamins and antivirals until he was given the all-clear to return home. His treatment also included consultations with the mental health team, which is critical for treating COVID-19 patients because the disease is so painful. The team was there to boost Osama's morale and desire to fight the disease in order to reunite with his family.
"We are open 24 hours a day here in the isolation center, and we take in suspected and confirmed COVID-19 cases. Swabs and samples are collected and sent to a laboratory. We also provide chronic disease treatment, transportation, and mental health services." – Dr. Abdullah
The center has 50 beds and 50 oxygen tanks. It received 86 patients in its first month open.
Coronavirus has a severe influence on many areas of social and economic life, including decreasing the movement of crossings, which is a lifeline in northern Syria. The rise in illnesses and deaths related to COVID-19 has exacerbated a ten-year health disaster.

9 Lies You've Been Told About Penises
Bigger feet really only mean bigger shoes.
By Hannah Smothers
For such a simple mechanism, there are a lot of myths and rumors surrounding the penis. Most of these are, of course, spread by the men who have them and think that if they keep spreading the same untruths, we'll all just eventually believe all this made-up nonsense about foot size and magical semen.
To set the record straight (or maybe slightly bent, because that's a thing), Cosmopolitan.com debunked the nine biggest penis lies that need to die forever and never be uttered again.
1. That you should be checking out the size of his Nikes before unzipping his pants. The whole "you know what they say about big feet?!?!?!!?" thing is pure folklore. A study from 2002 looked into this and found no significant correlation between a guy's foot size and penis size. So stop staring floor next time you're out at the bar — nothing of interest to see down there.
2. That his drunken lack of boner means he's totally over you and thinks you're a slovenly troll monster. Whiskey dick is not to be taken personally — a real-live man even said so himself. Alcohol might make you feel ~fun, flirty, and cool~ but it's technically a depressant, and depressants aren't necessarily the best at making things (in this case: penises) go and stay up, as studies have shown.
3. That he will literally die and his dick will rip off at the seams if he doesn't have an orgasm every single time. LOL, can you even imagine if this were a prevalent myth for women?? (Actually I can because I'm pumping this rumor super hard, it's my life's work but hahaha, anyway.) Guys who tell you, "I'm sorry but if I don't come, my dick's gonna hurt for days" are straight-up bullying you. Yes, blue balls are a real medical thing, but they are not life-threatening, and they will not leave this man gripping his crotch in anguish all weekend. Don't fall for this lie!
4. That there's an actual bone in that boner, and if you don't play nice with it, you'll break it in half like a bunch of raw spaghetti. It is possible to break a penis (penile fracture is super rare, only 1,600 cases have been reported worldwide since 1924) but to be totally clear: It's 100 percent not the same as breaking an arm or a leg. According to Go Ask Alice, a penile fracture happens when an erect penis is rammed against a hard surface with a lot of force, and the thing that "breaks" and causes an audible cracking sound is actually a thick, rigid membrane that surrounds the spongy tissue that gets hard when it fills with blood (a boner). Again, this is super rare, but if you suspect you've got a broken penis on your hands, you should seek medical attention immediately.
5. That his semen is a magical healing potion that will solve your problems and promote weight loss, and therefore you should swallow it like it's good vitamins. I've made it perfectly clear that swallowing is bad, but if a man ever tells you some lie like "swallowing makes you lose weight," leave him high and (literally) dry. There are negligible amounts of nutrients in semen, and you can easily get them elsewhere (like in food that actually tastes good).
6. That a big dick is the best dick and if you don't like it, your vagina is just too small. For some reason, penis size means a whole lot to men (arguably more than it does to women) and if you happen to wind up with someone who's generously endowed, you might find that they're incredibly precious about how you should handle this extra limb. There are plenty of men with smaller penises (the average length in the US, by the way, is 5.17 inches) who love their small penises. And there are plenty of women who love having sex with smaller men. Sometimes sex with a large penis can be painful, and that doesn't mean you're doing it wrong. Size doesn't matter.
7. That he can't feel anything when he's wearing a condom and that makes sex no fun and wahhhhhh, why can't we just ditch the condom and raw dog it, babe? LOL, no. No! A man who thinks this will work on you is an idiot, because we've all heard this before, and I'm sorry, but the benefits offered by a condom far outweigh this easily fixable problem. If a guy you're with is complaining about sex not being any good when he's wearing a condom, maybe suggest thinner condoms, or try putting a drop of lube in the tip of the condom before sliding it on. He might also be buying the wrong size — if the condom is too tight, it's cutting off circulation, and that can cause a lack of feeling.
8. That he can feel your IUD poking his penis head. If you have an IUD and warn a man about it before sex (as is polite), then you've probably experienced the empty complaints that he can feel your IUD up in there. He cannot feel your IUD. That thing is literally inside of your uterus, tucked away behind your cervix, and if he was feeling the actual thing, he would be pumping into your womb. Not only would that be incredibly painful, but also, no. He can't get up there. If anything, he's feeling the strings, but those puppies are soft. If he complains that your IUD is a hindrance upon his penis, just slap him with that 99.9 percent effectiveness rate.
9. That it should be totally straight, and if it's curved like a fleshy banana, there's something wrong with him. Unless his penis is dramatically curved when he's hard and he has reason to believe he might have Peyronie's disease (a pretty uncommon disorder that affects about 9 percent of the male population, and is most common among 50- to 60-year-olds), his slightly unstraight penis is totally fine. A lot of guys (like Enrique Iglesias) have a lil curve going on.

Anyway goto lexistreets...They have a way of electing a 'Car of the Month' that I think could be used here.
Basically, for those that dont wanna go to their site...It goes something like this...Underneath all user's posts there is a button that you can click that will cast a vote for them to be the Car Of The Month..it is quick and easy...and users are always being reminded to vote..that way participation would be increased!!!
I checked it out but didn't see what you were talking about.
I'll be cruising their FS forums, so I'll keep looking.
They would have to be using some sort of phpBB mod for that, my biggest concern is whether or not the mod eliminates a user from the voting for x amount of time after they have won so there isn't the same car(s) winning over and over again.
Honestly we need to develop a much larger user base before we can really start any sort of NOM thing.
The only time it appears, IIRC, is when it is 'time' to vote.. So I dunno.. Hopefully it'll be up again so you can see and maybe talk to "Injected Performance" over on neons.org.. He is one of the, if not THE man, from lexitstreets.. he can tell you more about it..


Maiti, Kalobaran and Unnikrishnan, Manju and Inoue, HI and Sarma, DD (2005) Electronic structure of early transition metal oxides, Ca1−xSrxVO3 and La1−xCaxVO3: What can we learn from photoelectron spectroscopy. In: Proceedings of the 11th International Workshop on Oxide Electronics (WOE- 11), October 3–5, 2004, Hakone, Japan.
Photoemission spectroscopy offers the unique possibility of mapping out the electronic structure of the occupied electron states. However, the extreme surface sensitivity of this technique ensures that only the surface and the near-surface regions of any sample are probed. An important question arises in this context—Is the electronic structure of the surface region the same as that of the bulk? We address this issue using two different series of vanadium oxides, Ca1−xSrxVO3 and La1−xCaxVO3. Our results clearly establish that the electronic structure of the surface region is drastically different from that of the bulk in both these cases. We provide a method to separate the two contributions: one arising from the near-surface region and the other representative of the bulk. This separation allows us to deduce some very unusual behaviors of the electronic structures in these systems.

News Roundup: Texas' Voter Database Is More Vulnerable Than Voting Machines To Cyberattacks
Our daily look at Texas headlines.
By Becky FogelSeptember 27, 2018 1:50 pmTexas News Roundup

Volunteers at a voter-registration drive at a Dave Matthews Band concert in Dallas in 2016.
The Standard's news roundup gives you a quick hit of interesting, sometimes irreverent, and breaking news stories from all over the state.
Texas lawmakers discussed cybersecurity and the state's voting systems yesterday. KUT's Ashley Lopez reports officials say they are working to improve security around the state's voter-registration database.
"Keith Ingram, the director of elections at the Texas Secretary of State's office, told lawmakers that the state's most vulnerable system is its voter registration database. That's mostly because it's connected to the internet. Voting machines, for example, are not. Ingram says his office takes cybersecurity seriously for the state's voter database because it contains personal information like social security numbers, dates of birth and driver's license information. And, he says, about 22 hundred people have access to it.
'It is worth repeating that we have had no attempted or successful cyberattacks on the Texas statewide electronic voter registration database. However, our agency is very clear-eyed about the fact that such attacks could be possible, and we are taking every step possible to ensure that such attack would be unsuccessful.'
"Ingram says that the more than $20 million the federal government recently gave the state for voting security will go a long way in making the database harder to hack."
Texas is set to execute its second inmate in two days Thursday evening.
51-year-old Troy Clark was put to death by lethal injection Wednesday night for the 1998 kidnapping and murder of Christina Muse, in Tyler.
The Texas Tribune reports his spouse and four friends were there for his execution, as well as family members of the victim. In his last words he said "I'm not the one that killed Christina, so whatever makes y'all happy."
Daniel Acker is scheduled to be executed Thursday night for the murder of Marquetta George, 18 years ago. He would be the 10th person put to death in Texas this year, and six more executions are scheduled before the end of 2018. In 2016 and 2017, the state put seven people to death each year.
A brothel featuring robots is soon to open in Houston. But as Houston Public Media's Laurie Johnson reports, the city's mayor is looking for ways to regulate it.
"A Toronto-based company that provides sex robots to customers has said it plans to open its first U.S. location in Houston. And now Mayor Sylvester Turner says he's looking into what the city's options are.
'We'll be looking at distance requirements, just like other sexually oriented businesses that can't be close to daycares, schools, churches, synagogues and like … and if not, what changes do we need to make.'
"More than 7,000 people have signed a change.org petition asking the mayor to ban the company. Turner says it's not the type of business he's trying to attract to Houston or personally wants here, but adds he may not legally be able to prevent the business from opening."

Protect wild birds from windows! Protect your windows from Bird Attacks! Some territorial birds vigorously defend their territory. These birds perceive their own reflection in a window to be another bird competing for their mate—and attack. Repeated attacks deplete a bird's energy, putting its health and nesting brood at risk. Stop Bird Attack eliminates the bird's window reflection, calms the bird, and stops the attack. The product is a removable, white coating that may be sprayed on any window under attack. Stop Bird Attack is effective for Northern Cardinals, American Robins, California Towhees, and other territorial birds. Contents: 9 oz. Aerosol Can. Stop Bird Attack cannot be shipped to Alaska, Hawaii, or international destinations including Canada. Made in the USA!

TBC: A clustering algorithm based on prokaryotic taxonomy
Lee JH, Yi H, Jeon YS, Won S, Chun J
Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Bioinformatics, Seoul National University, Seoul, 151-742, Republic of Korea.
High-throughput DNA sequencing technologies have revolutionized the study of microbial ecology. Massive sequencing of PCR amplicons of the 16S rRNA gene has been widely used to understand the microbial community structure of a variety of environmental samples. The resulting sequencing reads are clustered into operational taxonomic units that are then used to calculate various statistical indices that represent the degree of species diversity in a given sample. Several algorithms have been developed to perform this task, but they tend to produce different outcomes. Herein, we propose a novel sequence clustering algorithm, namely Taxonomy-Based Clustering (TBC). This algorithm incorporates the basic concept of prokaryotic taxonomy in which only comparisons to the type strain are made and used to form species while omitting full-scale multiple sequence alignment. The clustering quality of the proposed method was compared with those of MOTHUR, BLASTClust, ESPRIT-Tree, CD-HIT, and UCLUST. A comprehensive comparison using three different experimental datasets produced by pyrosequencing demonstrated that the clustering obtained using TBC is comparable to those obtained using MOTHUR and ESPRIT-Tree and is computationally efficient. The program was written in JAVA and is available from http://sw.ezbiocloud.net/tbc.

TRAC's opinion piece on September 28th (http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/article2614730.html) in the Sacramento Bee apparently annoyed the denizens of the California High Speed Rail Authority, leading to a response by CEO Jeff Morales (http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/article2623053.html), plus a followup, much more detailed letter directly to TRAC on October 22 (http://www.calrailnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Response-to-TRAC-10.21.14.pdf).
The text of our response to Morales' Bee op-ed and followup letter is presented below.
You write "We remain confident that an operating segment can be delivered with existing funds and future Cap and Trade proceeds, at which point a private entity would pay for the rights to operate the system (and receive the revenue it generates), thus allowing for completion of the full statewide system." Note the lack of an answer for how CHSRA will fill the $26 billion shortfall in the budget for its Initial Operating Segment, which it admits needs to be complete before any private investment is possible. We all know Cap and Trade won't go that far.
You write "Currently, there is no passenger rail link between Bakersfield and the Los Angeles Basin…" If CHSRA makes good on its intention to proceed with Palmdale-Burbank, there won't be one for a very long time. While it wasn't mentioned in the OpEd due to space considerations, TRAC has long considered the missing rail link as its top state priority.
You write "We have consulted extensively with experienced foreign governments and high-speed rail operators to improve and refine our plans." This is a far cry from the open bidding process we recommend, where the successful bidder puts capital at risk, rather than mere advice.
Finally, you offer a very skewed reading of Proposition 1A. CHSRA is reverent about complying with legislative intent (except that of having an operating system by 2020), even though these are not mandatory provisions. Yet it brazenly flouts the mandatory requirements–the part of the bill it didn't write–and then begs the Supreme Court for a Get out of Jail Free card when caught.
If you wonder how CHSRA managed to alienate rail advocates that would otherwise be its natural supporters, look no further than these points.

Edmund Bertschinger named head of MIT physics
Edmund Bertschinger
Edmund Bertschinger, professor of physics and division head, astrophysics, has been appointed the Head of the Department of Physics, effective July 1.
Bertschinger succeeds Marc Kastner, who will become dean of the School of Science, also effective on July 1.
In making the announcement Kastner said, "Ed is a deep, broad physicist, and a superb educator of undergraduates and graduate students. He has done an outstanding job leading our astrophysics effort, and I am confident that he will be an excellent department head."
In his role at the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research, Bertschinger leads a program investigating the formation of cosmic structure after the big bang, the physics of dark matter both in the early universe and in forming galaxies, and the physical processes governing matter and radiation close to black holes. He enjoys working with his students from the high school to graduate levels in his research in astrophysics, cosmology, and general relativity, some of whom have won national awards for their work. Bertschinger himself has won the 2002 Buechner Teaching prize for his undergraduate and graduate classes in relativity.
Bertschinger said he looked forward to assuming his new role. He noted, "The Physics Department is in excellent shape thanks to Marc Kastner's leadership. We have wonderful opportunities for intellectual excitement following the completion of the Green Center for Physics. I feel very privileged to serve and I look forward to working with the faculty, staff, and students who make the Physics Department special. I'm also grateful to Tom Greytak for agreeing to serve as Interim Head during my fall semester sabbatical."
Bertschinger received his Ph.D. in astrophysical sciences from Princeton University in 1984 and did postdoctoral research at the University of Virginia and the University of California at Berkeley. He is a Guggenheim Fellow, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, and he received the Helen B. Warner Prize from the American Astronomical Society. He became a faculty member at MIT in 1986.
Kastner of physics is new dean of science

The Hi-Opt I (also known as High Optimum) card counting system possesses the advanced technique for card counters. It provides the player with more odds to win and more complicated mechanism to master.
Due to its complex structure the Hi-Opt system is called the Einstein count method sometimes. But practically it has not so much differentiations with Hi-Lo card counting method which is considered as a basic one.
The Hi-Opt I card counting system is balanced, thus if you managed to count all the cards in the deck, then you would end at the point you've started - it's nil.
As it already has been said the given efficient method possesses the highest rates of odds and provides the player with more chances for winning.
But still the choice of the most appropriate method among the all card counting systems is based on personal preferences.
Firstly let's get acquainted with the Hi-Opt I card counting system table.
The Hi-Opt I is also based on subtracting and adding the number 1, thus the simple mathematics is used. To operate this technique correctly you'll need to memorize the counts of all the card values given above.
As we see the given method possesses more middle cards with 0 count and no influence the procedure of counting at all. These cards are 7's, 8's, 9's, plus 2's and Aces. The last two values are found in the middle cards - is the main difference in comparison with other card counting systems.
The cards 3, 4, 5 and 6 form the small cards group with count +1.
And the 10's, Jacks, Queens and Kings are reckoned among the big cards with count -1.
There are some rule variations concerning the Ace tacks following in the High Optimum card counting system. E.g. you don't have to keep the tracks of Aces while your card count maneuvers but there are still some changes in basic blackjack strategy appear depending on how many Aces have been dealt.
The most of mature players use such things as fingers, feet or chips to keep the tracks of Aces in this case.
As we see the Hi-Opt I card counting system provides the player with more chances for winning but still has more special features to memorize and master.


In this study, the fabrication of zeolite combined activated carbon spherical samples was carried out as follows. Briefly, ZSM-5 zeolite and activated carbon were composed as main absorbent materials; by controlling the weight percentage of zeolite and binder materials, a series of spherical samples (AZP 4, 6, 8) were prepared. These spherical samples were characterized by BET, XRD, SEM, EDX, and pressure drop; benzene and iodine adsorption tests, bactericidal effect test, and ignition temperature test were also performed. The adsorption capability was found to depend on the BET surface area; the spherical samples AZP6 with high BET surface area of $1011m^2/g$ not only exhibited excellent removal effects for benzene (24.9%) and iodine (920mg/g) but also a good bactericidal effect. The enhanced ignition temperature may be attributed to the homogeneous dispersion conditions and the proper weight percentage ratio between zeolite and activated carbon.

Red Wings edged by Sabres
Feb 11, 2020 at 10:32 PM Feb 11, 2020 at 10:33 PM
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Sam Reinhart jammed in a loose puck for the go-ahead goal 57 seconds into the third period in the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.
Marcus Johansson had a goal and assist and Conor Sheary also scored in a game the Sabres overcame two one-goal deficits. Carter Hutton stopped 27 shots, and Buffalo won for just he third time in its past nine (3-5-1).
Detroit's Darren Helm scored twice for his 11th multi-goal game and first since scoring twice on Oct. 17, 2016. Anthony Mantha had two assists in playing his first game after missing 20 with a rib injury and punctured lung.
Jonathan Bernier stopped 22 shots for Detroit, which was attempting to beat the Sabres for the second time in five days following a 4-3 shootout win at Buffalo.
The Red Wings, who sit last in the NHL standings, were unable to build on a modest run which had them win two of three, including a 3-1 victory over Boston on Sunday. Detroit instead dropped to 2-10-1 in its past 13.
Reinhart scored by taking advantage of a pair of fortunate bounces. Defenseman Henri Jokiharju's shot from the blue line missed the net, banked off the end boards and then bounced toward the net off the skate of Sabres captain Jack Eichel. Bernier stretched out his right pad to stop the puck at the right post, before Reinhart out-muscled Luke Glendening to push it in.
Helm opened the scoring 27 seconds in when he retrieved his own rebound and slipped the loose puck through Hutton's legs.
Sheary tied it 36 seconds later by one-timing in Johansson's cross-ice pass to beat Bernier inside the right post.
Sheary squandered a chance to put Buffalo up 1:32 into the second period, when he shot high and wide of the net on a penalty-shot attempt. He was awarded the penalty shot after being hooked from behind by Filip Hronek.
The teams then traded goals eight minutes apart in the second period.
Helm was allowed to stand untouched in front when he shoveled in a shot to put Detroit up 2-1 at 7:02.
Johansson then tied it with a shot from the right circle that beat Bernier high on the short side. He was set up by Rasmus Dahlin, who drove up the right wing, cut to the middle and made a nifty, no-look drop pass to Johansson.
Red Wings forward Brendon Perlini sustained a deep cut to his nose after being struck in the face by Jokiharju's skate following a collision with 3:51 left in the first period.
Perlini lay face down for several moments before being tended to by team trainers. He was then helped up and held a towel to his face in making his way off the ice and heading directly into the locker room.
Perlini was playing the puck along the boards in the neutral zone when Jokiharju ran into him. As the two fell, Jokiharju's skate flew back and first knocked off Perlin's helmet before appearing to hit him across the right cheek.

Plaintiff Cities
Sarah L. Swan
When cities are involved in litigation, it is most often as defendants. However, in the last few decades, cities have emerged as aggressive plaintiffs, bringing forward hundreds of mass-tort style claims. From suing gun manufacturers for the scourge of gun violence, to bringing actions against banks for the consequences of the subprime mortgage crisis, to initiating claims against pharmaceutical companies for opioid-related deaths and injuries, plaintiff cities are using litigation to pursue the perpetrators of the social harms that have devastated their constituents and their communities. Many courts and commentators have criticized these plaintiff city claims on numerous grounds. They argue that, as a doctrinal matter, cities lack standing, fail to meet causation standards, and stretch causes of action like public nuisance beyond all reasonable limits. Further, they argue that, as a theoretical matter, plaintiff cities are impermissibly using litigation as regulation, overstepping their limited authority as "creatures of the state," and usurping the political and legislative process. This Article demonstrates that each of these critiques is mistaken. Plaintiff city claims are legally, morally, and sociologically legitimate. And, as a practical matter, they are financially feasible even for cash-strapped or bankrupt cities. Moving beyond mere economic accounting, though, plaintiff city claims have value of a different sort: for plaintiff cities, litigation is a form of state building. By serving as plaintiffs and seeking redress for the harms that impact a city's most vulnerable residents, plaintiff cities are demanding recognition not just for those impacted constituents, but also for themselves, as distinct and meaningful polities. In so doing, plaintiff cities are renegotiating the practical and theoretical meaning of cities within the existing political order, and opening up new potential paths for urban social justice.

Q: Dictionary output is convert to string in requestText in flask python? I am sending a dictionary output using flash response to the HTML end is converted to a string
@app.route('/stream')
def stream():
    def inner():
        for x in [{"EntID" : 3, "x" : 100, "y" : 400},{"abc":"400"}]:
            time.sleep(10)

            yield '%s\n' % x

    return flask.Response(inner(), mimetype='text/html')

In the HTML side,
var output = document.getElementById('output');

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', '{{ url_for('stream') }}');
xhr.send();

setInterval(function() {
    var stuff = xhr.responseText;
    output_1.textContent = xhr.responseText;
    output_2.textContent = xhr.responseText;
    output_3.textContent = xhr.responseText;
}, 1000);

The output is {"EntID" : 3, "x" : 100, "y" : 400}
But I want output as
output_1.textContent :3
output_2.textContent: 100
output_3.textContent : 400

A: First you should use module json to create correct JSON data which later JavaScript can convert back to dictionary.
 yield json.dumps(x)

and
 var data = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);

But it need also to remember old length of xhr.responseText and compare with new length because it will have all data from all yields and you have to get only new text.
var old_position = 0;
var new_position = 0;

setInterval(function() {
    new_position = xhr.responseText.length;

    if(new_position != old_position) {
        var text = xhr.responseText.substr(old_position, new_position);

        //alert(text);

        old_position = new_position;

        var data = JSON.parse(text);

        output_1.textContent = data.EntID;
        output_2.textContent = data.x;
        output_3.textContent = data.y;
    }
}, 1000);
</script>''')

The only problem which I left is that you send different data in every yield - differnt dictonary with different keys.

Minimal working code which you can put in one file and run.
from flask import Flask, Response, render_template_string
import time
import json

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')

Longtime Sycamore Principal to Retire after 44 years
Longtime Sycamore administrator Ron Brooks is retiring after serving 44 years in public education. The Sycamore Board of Education approved his resignation during their meeting on Feb. 17, 2016.
Mr. Brooks has served as principal at Maple Dale Elementary since 2002, but his legacy in Sycamore expands across more than four decades. In his time here, he has served as a teacher, an assistant principal, and principal at five different schools.
"Mr. Brooks exemplifies what it means to be a true servant leader," said Frank Forsthoefel, superintendent. "He motivates and empowers his team to focus on student-first decisions. This approach has elevated Maple Dale to one of highest performing elementary schools in the state of Ohio. He leaves a legacy of excellence with his school community."
Mr. Brooks began his career in 1972, teaching science, health, and physical education in Cincinnati Public Schools. In 1974, his extensive career with Sycamore Community Schools started at Montgomery Elementary. He transitioned into an administrative career in 1979 when he moved to E.H. Greene Intermediate as an assistant principal, later shifting to Montgomery Elementary and Sycamore Junior High in the same role. Mr. Brooks left the district for eight years, but returned to Sycamore in 1995. He became principal at Symmes Elementary in 1997 before moving to his current position at Maple Dale.
"I've enjoyed my journey," said Mr. Brooks. "The hardest thing now is realizing how quickly it has all gone by. If I had to do it all again, would I do it differently? The answer is no. I have loved every school I have ever been a part of. Every child is special."
During his years with Sycamore, Mr. Brooks has served under six different superintendents. When he started in 1974, there were only three elementary schools, and Sycamore High School had just opened its doors for the first time.
After 44 years, Mr. Brooks is looking forward to what the future will hold. He plans to remain a educational resource for members of the Sycamore community, as well as travel and spend time with his family.
"Mr. Brooks is an amazing leader that empowers his staff to reach their highest potential," said Cheryl Cooks, Maple Dale Elementary teacher. "His love, humor, rapport, and genuine care for his staff, and insightfulness about the importance of relationships will always resonate in our hearts. He will truly be missed."
Mr. Brooks' retirement will be effective on June 29, 2016. The search process for the next principal of Maple Dale Elementary is underway. As seamless transitions and succession planning are critically important to Sycamore, the district is currently focusing its search internally.
"We are committed to moving this process forward in an expeditious fashion toward appointment of the next principal by the end of March," Forsthoefel said.

Watch The National's unpredictable video for "I'll Still Destroy You"
By Sarah Hojsak
Following the release of their acclaimed seventh album Sleep Well Beast,The Nationalare back with a new video to accompany the brooding and rhythmic album track "I'll Still Destroy You."
Filmed in Copenhagen, the video takes the art rockers on a journey that matches the quirky unpredictability of the winding, five-minute track. According to 4AD, "It was shot in one hour at Dope & Korruption, a pop-up bar created by Ragnar offering arancini, chocolate truffles, prosecco, classical music and a sailor striptease. During the video shoot the bar was shut down by Danish security officials and destroyed the day after."
We recently welcomed The National to town for an NPR Music First Listen Live performance of Sleep Well Beast — revisit The Key's photos and review of the show here. Currently in the midst of a largely sold out European tour, The National return to the US for a few (mostly sold out) tour dates in the coming months, including a (unsurprisingly) sold out stop at the Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall on Dec. 4. Watch the video for "I'll Still Destroy You" below.

Perilous Times for Mozambican Children Impacted by Cyclone
Locals wait to receive food parcels handed out by an aid organisation to locals after Cyclone Idai, near Dondo village outside Beira, Mozambique, March 24, 2019.
Her name is Chuva, which in Portuguese means rain. For four days that was all she saw as she clung to her rooftop in the cyclone's aftermath and prayed to be saved.
Maria Chuva clasped her 5-year-old daughter, Amiel, to her tightly as she recounted the panic of opening her front door to water that came up to her neck, and scrambling with her family to the roof.
Mozambican Families Hunt for Loved Ones Separated by Cyclone
The young mother huddled on a wooden boat clutching her 2-year-old daughter, headed for the unknown: The flooded town of Buzi, which thousands have fled with little but the clothes on their backs.Fishermen's boats have been ferrying out Buzi's displaced, sometimes scores of people crammed into a single vessel. But Veronica Fatia was going against the tide, up waters that only recently carried corpses to the sea. She was looking for her mother, hoping she was still alive. …
Now, after elbowing her way onto a rescue boat for a bewildering journey with her two girls to the inundated port city of Beira, she paused in the din of a displacement camp to reflect on losing everything but her children — and the splintered families now around her. The orphans are especially hard for her to bear.
"It hurts me so bad," she said.
An estimated 900,000 children have been orphaned or separated from their families, made homeless or otherwise affected by Cyclone Idai, half of the 1.8 million people impacted overall, according to Mozambican government figures.
The children crowd displacement camps, sleeping rough on plastic tarps on bare brick floors, or on the wooden benches of crowded schools.
They slide down wooden bannisters, teeter on rain-slickened tile stairs near open cooking fires on the concrete floor. They play checkers with bottle caps. They squat around a metal pot as big as themselves, scraping its sides with their bare hands for the last remaining kernels of rice.
Evacuees from Buzi village carry their belongings
Evacuees from Buzi village carry their belongings as they leave a school that was used as a displacement center, after Cyclone Idai, in Beira, Mozambique, March 25, 2019.
No one yet knows how many are orphaned, just as no one knows how many people in the cyclone-hit countries of Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi are dead or missing.
Families were separated in the chaos. Many children lost a mother or father, or both.
"We are concerned about children who were orphaned by the cyclone or became separated from their parents in the chaos that followed," said Henrietta Fore, executive director of the U.N. organization for children, UNICEF.
Nearly Half of Cyclone Idai's Victims Are Children
The U.N. children's fund reports nearly half of the 1.7 million people affected by Cyclone Idai in southern Africa are children. The official number of deaths across the region has now risen to over 700. But this figure is expected to increase once the waters have receded and the bodies of those who have drowned and gone missing are found.Conditions in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe remain critical. Thousands of people are still trapped by the flood waters, many huddled on rooftops and in trees…
Initial assessments in Beira indicate that more than 2,600 classrooms have been destroyed and 39 health centers impacted. At least 11,000 houses have been totally destroyed.
"This will have serious consequences on children's education, access to health services, and mental well-being," Fore said.
"The situation will get worse before it gets better," Fore added, warning of diseases like cholera, malaria and diarrhea "which can turn this disaster into a major catastrophe."
In a bare gymnasium in the Samora Machel secondary school in Beira, at least 12 children are orphans, said Juta Joao Sithole, who represents the nearly 350 people from the town of Buzi who shelter there.
He said the orphans are very young: 4, 5, 7-years old.
He feels for them keenly. His own two children, ages 9 and 7, are still at home in Buzi after he was plucked from a rooftop after three days without water and food and flown to Beira. With communications completely down, he has no way of reaching them, of knowing how they are.
When the orphaned children approach with questions, Sithole uses tough love and deflection: Eat this. Sleep here. Go play.
"When they ask about their parents, I tell them, `Please keep quiet,"' he said. He tells them stories and jokes instead.
It is too difficult to talk about death. "Children are children," he said. "They don't know anything. I treat them like my own."
For more than a week after the cyclone, a 7-year-old girl waited with her older sister at the school, injured and bewildered by her mother's absence. Finally her mother appeared at the school. By then the small girl was so traumatized she couldn't say her name.
She sat alone on the concrete floor the next morning, crying, snot running down her lip, even though her mother had only stepped away. Sithole hoisted her up by one arm and tried to question her. She balances on one leg and only sniffled, her eyes swollen.
"Her health is not good," Sithole said, and helped her sit again.
Many other Mozambican children now know hunger and homelessness, and the growing risk of disease.
In the Agostinho Neto primary school in Beira, 270 children displaced by the cyclone now live in classrooms, all of them thought to have at least one guardian. They play beneath the remains of a collapsed roof, its beams now hung with drying clothes.
"It's sad. It hurts me to see families sleeping 10 people together, separated by desks," said Saoundina Tempe, a manager there with Mozambique's disaster management agency. "Newborns, pregnant women. Their lives are in jeopardy because of disease, being together in the same place."
For some children who survived the storm, a patch of sidewalk in downtown Beira is now home.
Marta Ben is surrounded by them. The 30-year-old mother of five clutched a baby to her hip, barefoot, a cooking pot bubbling nearby.
When the cyclone hit their neighborhood of shacks near the sea and peeled their roofs away, she and other young mothers gathered what children they could and fled.
"We lost some of them," she said.
On Friday she and the children marked a week on the sidewalk. They now beg to get by.
"If people give," she said simply, "we receive."
Cyclone Death Toll Rises in Africa
The United Nations says the combined death toll in southern African nations affected by Cyclone Idai has exceeded 700.More than 400 of the deaths have occurred in Mozambique were aid groups are struggling to assist tens of thousands of people of the ground.Mozambique Minister of Land and Environment Celso Correia said the situation "is still critical, but it's getting better." He said some 1,500 people were in need of rescue from rooftops and trees and about 89,000 people…
Cyclone Idai Victims Appeal to Zimbabwean Government for Relief
The Zimbabwean government says it is appealing to the international community for help with medicine, food and infrastructure, as victims of Cyclone Idai push for expedited aid.Better Mungana's father died and his cousin went missing when the cyclone hit Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique last week.

High-pressure materials research has been revolutionized in the past few years due to technological breakthroughs in the diamond anvil cell (DAC), shock wave compression and molecular dynamic simulation (MD) methods. The application of high pressure, especially together with high temperature, has revealed exciting modifications of physical and chemical properties even in the simplest molecular materials.Besides the fundamental importance of these studies to understand the composition and the dynamics of heart and planets' interior, new materials possessing peculiar characteristics of hardness and composition have been synthesized at very high pressure, while unexpected chemical reactions of simple molecules to polymers and amorphous compounds have been found at milder conditions.The variety of the phenomena observed in these extreme conditions and of the materials involved provides a common ground bridging scientific communities with different cultural and experimental backgrounds. This monograph will provide a timely opportunity to report on recent progress in the field.

Elric and Michael Moorcock
I've recently become addicted to the Elric novels of Michael Moorcock. For the uninitiated, Elric was created as a reaction against the kind of Conan-the-Barbarian/Lord-of-the-Rings style fantasy that still dominates sword-and-sorcery novels today. He is the anti-Conan; a frail, albino sorcerer from the decadent kingdom of Melneboné, addicted to drugs to stay alive and to the demon black sword Stormbringer, which both fills him with strength and compels him to kill so that it might eat the souls of his victims. Adjectives frequently used to describe him include "cursed," "tortured" and most of all "doomed." He is totally emo. Elric was most popular in the 1970's, when Blue Oyster Cult wrote a song about him ("Black Blade") and Dave Sim parodied him in the comic book Cerebus as "Elrod of Melvinbone." Yet, with new additions of the books coming out, the prospect of a movie and Moorcock now writing new Elric adventures, the albino seems to be having a resurgence of attention.
I once heard true fantasy described as the process of taking a character's psychological state and embodying it in reality. Perhaps no writer illustrates this as effectively as Moorcock. Rather than bastardized versions of European monsters, Elric's adversaries are more often than not dream-monsters, creatures which crawl bodily from the id, and from realms which reflect his every desire and fear. Indeed dream-like may be the best way to describe Elric's adventures (at least, the handful of books I've read so far). In Sailor on the Seas of Fate, for example, haunted and hunted Elric travels to a realm that is the ghost of an idealized city, where the shadows of ruins take the shape of the buildings as they were when whole. There he battles two sorcerers in the form of houses, invading them like a disease invades a body. Afterward even Elric can't tell if the event was a dream or not, after finding himself stranded in another dimension where scavengers stranded from all over space and time wander under a blue sun.
In The Fortress of the Pearl, Elric travels directly into the world of dreams, which in Moorcock's construction is something like a cross between the Jungian collective unconscious and simply another dimension in his "multiverse". (One of Moorcock's conceits is that all of his books take place in different connected universes and parallel realities, and he frequently has characters or organizations from one book appear in another.) Elric travels through seven levels of dreams, escorted by a "dreamtheif" (a group from another Moorcock series who literally steals people's dreams and sells them at a market), much as Dante was lead through the seven levels of Heaven and nine circles of Hell. Each level has its own peculiar character, for instance one is the "Land of Old Desires", where all your "forgotten yearnings" return to you and "bring a sense of simplicity and peace." Another is the "Land of Lost Beliefs," where they encounter a beautiful city,
And now Elric looked closer at the walls, which were like jade, and he saw dark shapes within the walls and he saw that the dark shapes were figures of men, women and children. He gasped as he stepped forward to peer at them, observing living faces, eyes which were undying, lips frozen in expressions of terror, of anguish, of misery. There were like so many flies in amber.
"That's the unchanging past, Prince Elric," said Gone [the Dreamthief]. "That's the fate of those who seek to reclaim their lost beliefs without first experiencing the search for new ones. This city has another name. Dreamthieves call it the City of Inventive Cowardice. You would not understand the twists of logic which brought so many to this pass! Which made them force those they loved to share their fate. Would you stay with them, Price Elric, and nurse your lost beliefs?"
The parallel to the circle of Hell in The Inferno where people are frozen eternally in ice is obvious, yet where Dante puts traitors there Moorcock uses it as a psychological metaphor.
Not the greatest of stylists (though still better than Philip K. Dick), and maybe too prolific for his own good, Moorcock still is a writer who perhaps has not gotten the attention he deserves, especially in mainstream circles. One suspects this has rankled Moorcock himself, since he abandoned speculative fiction in the eighties and wrote a number of literary fiction novels (including the seminal Mother London), only recently returning to the genre where he made his name. Yet it is his sf novels that give him his continued following, and, I believe, where his best (and yes, most addictive) work lies.


Word is that the NCAA Clearinghouse has denied the Hall's final appeal to get freshman forward Michael Glover eligible for this season.
The sticking point is whether a half-dozen core courses Glover took at American Christian (Pa.) met Clearinghouse requirements.
Where Glover goes from here is up in the air. By the letter of the law he forfeits his athletic scholarship and must drop out of school unless he pays his own way. There is a loophole under which he could remain on scholarship, sit out this year but play next year. (I am not sure exactly what that loophole entails, but it depends on the number of courses that are in question).
Glover, a rugged 6-6 power forward, was expected to have a major impact for the Pirates this season. Mike Davis, Austin Okoson and Brandon Walters are going to have to grow up quick.
The MRI on freshman guard Corey Chandler's ailing right foot revealed a stress fracture. He will be sidelined one to two weeks, meaning he will definitely miss the Rider game and probably the Manhattan game.
Posted in Uncategorized on December 20, 2007 by Jerry Carino.
As I said he has some options, but it seems pretty certain he will not wear blue this year.
If he leaves would he count against the grad rate?
Any PFs out there for SHU???
We better get Gary Flowers.
Any potential Flowers commitment is a couple of weeks away. Gonzo has not seen him play yet.
That's four scholarships in two year for SHU on guys that won't be in uniform this season [Cameron, Pratt, Smith, Glover].
Smith and Glover will not count against our graduation rate. No one can blame Bobby for taking any of those players given the situation we were in when he offered the scholorships.
I'll give Bobby a pass on Glover, who was wanted by plenty of other schools. But Chris Smith was a mistake from Day 1. SHU could have had other players [Jamar Greene, Tirrell Baines] who are contributing elsewhere, instead of a waste of a scholarship for this season.
L in a negative way.
Jerry,could you find out if any other player (true freshman) from American Christian was cleared to play at a Div 1 school. It would seem that if so, that player would have taken the same courses as Glover.
The kid going to UAB did not qualify either...American Christian seems to be a big issue.
Baines is not the player Glover is and he was just as high of a risk.
All these Monday morning quarterbacks , are funny...he went with the better players and he still gets crap thrown at him. He is trying to build an elite program, nothing ever goes perfectly.
American Christian has clearly been red-flagged by the NCAA. It's gotten to the point where I believe the school is holding a hearing with the Clearinghouse to try to rectify this going forward.
Kerron Johnson and Royce White in the 09 class...1 of the 2 is needed. Are there any 08 PFs left?
Why does it seem every kid we recruit is having difficulty or failing to get cleared? This is not a good trend and will cause numerous porblems down the road. Ugg!
It's 2out of what 8 players recruited???
According to a report in one of the papers, Glover completed 12 credits in the summer and another 12 this fall semester.
Assuming he completed and passed all classes, Glover has now earned 24 credits from Seton Hall University.
If that's so, then WTF is the NCAA up to? Are they trying to use Glover as an example?
Glover should fight back and file a lawsuit. He should contact the NAACP, the ACLU, Seton Hall Law... somebody who will bankrupt the NCAA for acting in this ridiculous manner.
The NCAA is denying Glover an education, a potential pro basketball career and, I'm sure, inflicting lots of emotional damage.
Bottom line is that Baines and Greene are playing. Glover and Smith are not.
2 out of 8? I count 4 out of eight. Wasn't Harvey not eligible until right before last season?
Correct, BB. Harvey didn't get through the clearinghouse until late October 2006.
I feel bad for Glover as well, but there will be no lawsuit.
One of the reasons this process dragged on is because Seton Hall appealed the decision twice.
Not saying the Clearinghouse is a model of efficiency -- we know it's not -- but the appeals definitely stretched this out.
I'm no lawyer, but that's probably a big impediment to a successful lawsuit.
Harvey is a stud and the PG of the future for Bobby he NEEDED to take him. Chris Smith is a Hurley player and we needed recruits when we signed him. Remember M. Davis was leaning to RU?? Bobby is trying his best to get good players to build the program around and I realize 2 are now not playing but Glover is twice the player Baines is/was. Flowers will end up being our PF next season along with an improved Walters/M. Davis.
In my opinion this is a Glover screw up not Bobby.
Bobby took the best available players and it back fired, we could have Baines and Greene but you all would have been screaming if he took those 2 over Smith and Glover at that time.
I don't know, but since he's still in school they probably have a chance to adjust his courseload accordingly.
I'm sure that's one of the things American Christian discussed when they met with the Clearinghouse.
JC, there are more questions than answers regarding Glover.
Is Glover going to stay is school? Did he complete his fall semester classes? Is he eligible to play next season?
What about that loophole for the Big East Conference that helped the player from Louisville. That kid (forget his name) didn't qualify but was allowed to retain his scholarship and all four years of eligibility and, most importantly, stay in school. How about that for Mike too?
I think it depends on the number of courses in question.
So the NCAA won't let Glover play when he has earned 24 credits halfway through his freshman year.
I'd say that this evidence, presented to a jury, will result is a massive damage award for Glover.
