Hiya readers… If I have any left. Not that it needs pointing out but I haven't posted on here since July. I feel I should let you all know where I've been hiding. It's this scary place called college. I'm one of the decreasing numbers of kids who leaves home for college. Though I am only 3.5hrs from home I am in a different state. College has kept me plenty busy resulting in no time to blog, which saddens me a lot. Along with the adjusting to college schedules and the new workload I've had to deal with having knee surgery (tore my ACL during pre-season for soccer) which put another obstacle in the way. For the first month of school the typical day was classes from 8am-1pm, physical therapy from 1:30-3 and then sitting out at soccer from 3:30-6, dinner, and then homework. It's been 4 months now since the surgery so my knee has almost returned back to normal.
Like I said, college has eaten up my time and when I do have free time all I want to do is sleep or watch a movie. During the first semester I found almost no time to watch the news or keep abreast of what was going on, save for the few moments I actually got to spend on Twitter. Even then I was lost.
So! The plan for the New Year and second semester is to carve out time each day to keep up with news and hopefully get a blog post out every week. I worked out a pretty nice class schedule for myself that should help with those goals. You can also keep a look out at The Pundit League, I'll be trying my best to contribute there on a fairly regular basis.
Just wanted to let you all know that I am in fact, still alive.
PS: My blog is in dire need of a makeover. I welcome all help and suggestions.
Glad to have you back Jackie! I know I just finished school and it occupied all my time as well. Keep truckin youll be finished soon!
Glad to have you back! I know i just finished college and it took up all my time as well. Keep truckin it will be over soon.

Massachusetts Votes to Uphold Protections for Transgenders
BOSTON — Massachusetts voters have supported a state law that protects transgender people from discrimination in public accommodations, including bathrooms and locker rooms.
The yes vote on the ballot question Tuesday rejects an effort by opponents to repeal the 2-year-old law. It was the first statewide referendum in the U.S. on transgender rights.
Supporters of the law feared a vote to repeal would prompt a wave of similar efforts to roll back protections in other states. Massachusetts was the first to legalize gay marriage and is viewed as one of the most LGBT-friendly states.
Critics say the 2016 law allows sexual predators to invade private spaces for women by claiming female gender identity. No such incidents have been reported in Massachusetts since the measure took effect.

Black Hat USA 2014 is one of the most widely attended security conferences of the year and this year there were a number of interesting briefings on a variety of topics such as automotive attack surfaces, POS malware, cloudbots and more. Qualys presented two pieces of research surrounding TSA vulnerabilities as well as hacking physical devices such as keyless cars and home alarm systems.
One of the most talked about briefings of the event came from Qualys' Director of Threat Intelligence Billy Rios who presented his findings on TSA vulnerabilities in, Pulling Back the Curtain on Airport Security: Can a Weapon get Past TSA? Speaking to a standing-room only crowd, Rios outlined how modern TSA airport security devices and networks operate and revealed some of the potential vulnerabilities and risks he discovered in scanning devices. His research and subsequent talk generated lots of interest from attendees and media alike including: BBC, Bloomberg BusinessWeek and Forbes.
Silvio Cesare Director of Anti-Malware Engineering for Qualys showcased his research on how he was able to break into a number of household and common devices such as a popular model car and home alarm systems in his talk, Breaking the Security of Physical Devices. He also discussed ways of mitigating these attacks and avoiding the bad and buying the good. You can check out a preview video of his talk or read about it in USA Today, WIRED and The Telegraph.
Jonathan Trull, CISO for Qualys, talked about the importance of continuously monitoring the global perimeter in his talk, Building a Continuous Security Program for your Global Perimeter. Trull discussed why organizations should adopt a continuous security practice and how to create a blueprint that spans the entire lifecycle, from discovering assets to prioritizing issues and mitigating exploits.
These talks, along with the other briefings at Black Hat highlight the growing security risks associated with the evolving world of "Internet of Things." As more and more everyday devices (think home appliances, wearables, baby monitors, etc.) are connected to the Internet, the technological challenge of securing the devices and data becomes critical. If the Black Hat conference agenda was any indicator, this is only the tip of the spear with a long road ahead.


Sometimes, a gift is just what we need to brighten our day!
It was a beautiful night. Our first cool(ish) day in a long time and the breeze and fading sun begged us to have dinner outside. I love our two big picnic tables!
We ate our dinner and talked about memories we have of certain places. It is amazing what the kids do and do not remember. I love hearing all the little details that stick out in their minds. It's rarely a big Christmas present or a vacation they choose to talk about. Instead, it is all the little moments that make us…US.
And I was reminded, once again, that it's the small things that tell the majority of our story. Every person, every family — there are little quirks and habits and decisions that shape them into who they are.
My scrapping time is limited these days. I also don't take pictures nearly as much as I used to. But as I listen to my children talk about all the sweet little details of the years they've lived, I am reminded that it is the little moments that make life big. It's all in the details. It's all about the cucumber.
It's weird, I know. But in our family, the favorite snack is — by far — CUCUMBERS. They love them and would eat them all day, every day if I could afford a never-ending supply.
And so, the other day as I chopped another half dozen cucumbers while my two youngest inhaled them, I grabbed my camera. I wanted to capture this seemingly insignificant part of our life because it really is a part of who we are. All those little quirks are.

All Cops 'Racist A**holes' on Netflix's 'Seven Seconds'
Netflix's Seven Seconds can be summed up by a drunken slur uttered during its fifth episode: "You're all racist assholes. Every one of you cops." And when it comes to this show, that statement is correct. Seven Seconds, released February 23, portrays police officers and the justice system as incredibly racist and apathetic.
The show revolves around the hit-and-run death of Brenton Butler, a 15-year-old black kid, at the hands of police officer Peter Jablonski (Beau Knapp) and three other white police officers in New Jersey. Although the collision is an accident, the police officers decide to flee the scene, believing the boy to be dead. Brenton is found alive 12 hours later and taken to the hospital, where he eventually dies. An investigation and trial ensue, to the dismay of all the police officers.
When Detective Fish (Michael Mosley) and Assistant Prosecutor KJ (Clare-Hope Ashitey) finally realize the police were involved and start investigating them, the police force harasses them. During the investigation, all the police officers refuse to answer any questions, and the police captain rebukes them for "locking up other cops now."
The lawyer defending the officers, Sam Hennessy, explains to her four clients that their case must be tried together because, "Together you're cops. Together, they have to put the whole police force on trial. And no jury ever convicts the entire police force." To the press, Hennessy calls the case a "witch hunt" against the Jersey City Police Department and blames "political correctness run amok."
Hennessy trivializes the case by turning it into a race problem, when in reality the problem is that four police officers left a 15-year-old boy alone in the snow to die. But she explains herself in episode eight, "Bailed Out:" "Welcome to the criminal justice system, gentlemen. No one gives a fuck about the truth."
Assistant Prosecutor KJ also turns the case into a race issue by adding a hate crime charge to the aggravated manslaughter charge in order to increase the number of years the officers could spend in jail. In court, when KJ calls for the 20-year maximum sentence for aggravated manslaughter, the police officers attending the trial stand up and storm out of the courtroom. In the end, when the officers are found not guilty on the charge of a hate crime, KJ laments that justice is blind.
Additionally, in usual liberal TV fashion, it's not just the bad guys who are the racists—everyone's a racist.
Despite the fact that the 15-year-old boy was left for dead after being hit by a car, Detective Fish repeatedly makes insensitive comments speculating about Brenton's possible gang affiliations as if that's some justification. In the third episode, "Matters of Life and Death," while at Brenton's funeral, Fish remarks, "Family had to have seen this coming. I'm telling you, it's the penitentiary or the cemetery."
In the second episode, "Brenton's Breath," before they figure out that cops are involved in the death, KJ inquires into some irregularities in Brenton's case, to which Fish responds, "Why do you even care? The kid was a banger." This is said about a 15-year-old kid who died while riding his bike in the park.
The sixth episode, "Until It Do," has Prosecutor Connelly (Jeremy Davidson) become angry when it's discovered that Brenton had a single criminal charge on his record due to being caught with a few joints. Connelly angrily remarks about the dead 15-year-old, "Now we're a protecting a common thug. A dime a dozen drug dealer." Spoiler: Brenton was neither in a gang nor a drug dealer.
In the same episode, Brenton's mother discovers who is her son's killer. When she goes to Jablonski's house to confront him, his wife exclaims, "Why can't someone lock her up? I bet she's got a record."
The over-the-top racism on the part of the white characters obscures any message the show is trying to convey. But it's not hard to tell the show has no interest in representing reality. In the second episode, an altercation between the four cops and a few black youths has one of them raise his hands up and assert, "Hands up, don't shoot," a phrase that was attributed to Michael Brown and has long been debunked.
But speaking of absurdities, the biggest one is that the cops decide to cover up a car accident that clearly was an accident. As rationale for fleeing the scene, sleazy narcotics officer Mike DiAngelo (David Lyons) explains to Jablonski, "A white cop and a black kid? Don't you watch the news? There are no fucking accidents anymore, and you know it." He continues that the incident will turn into another Ferguson or Baltimore.
Protests begin anyway, obviously, once people learn that the police officers left Brenton to die and then tried to cover it up. Black people take to the streets chanting, "Stop killing us" and "Black lives matter," burning American flags, and holding signs that say "Am I next?" and "White silence is violence."
In the third episode, after learning that his son's killer is still unknown, Brenton's father, Isaiah (Russell Hornsby), goes to the police station to speak with the detective. While there, an unnecessary altercation takes place when the officer puts his hands on Isaiah, and then handcuffs him although Isaiah doesn't fight back. Isaiah is released shortly with a bruise on his face, and soon discovers he lost his job due to the arrest.
Finally, when the trial is over and Jablonski is sentenced to only one year in prison instead of five, Brenton's half of the courtroom refuses to stand when the bailiff says, "All rise."
As if the race baiting of the show wasn't enough, in episode four, "That What Follows," KJ explains the meaning behind the name her father gave her: "He said the world would take me on my merits if they thought I was a man. So I put 'KJ' on my college applications and every job application and I think he was right. I think it opened a lot of doors that otherwise would have stayed closed…it's reality." In what world is that reality? Anyone who has ever applied to college or any type of graduate school or job knows that affirmative action benefits females, not males.
Additionally, one of the police officer's girlfriends gets angry with him and announces she's going to abort their child. She turns to Jablonski and says, "We're the same" because they both "kill kids."
But there is hope. Throughout the ten episodes, there was a strong Christian presence. Brenton's parents constantly pray and thank God. When Brenton's mother goes missing, Isaiah goes to his Church group for help, where they proclaim, "Let's put our faith in practice," before setting out to search for her.
Last year, FOX's Shots Fired also tried to address American racial tensions by villainizing police officers and portraying everyone as racist. But shows like these have more of a negative effect than a positive effect on America's racial divide.

News from across the food supply chain
China Unfairly Blocking US Chicken Imports, Rules WTO
A World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute panel has ruled in favor of U.S. chicken producers who claimed China's imposition of antidumping and countervailing duties on U.S. chicken "broiler products" was illegal under global trade rules.
China began assessing tariffs as high as 105.4 percent on the price of the chicken broiler products in 2010, prompting the U.S. to file a WTO complaint the following year and causing U.S. exports of those products to drop by 80 percent.
U.S. poultry exporters, including Tyson Foods, Sanderson Farms Inc., and Pilgrim's Pride Corp., a unit of JBS SA of Sao Paulo, Brazil, had backed the case.
Going Green Only to Save Some Green
One of the most interesting items to come out of this year's Executive Survey on Supply Chain Sustainability is the fact that while a large portion of the industry has embraced the sustainability movement, the biggest incentive is to lower costs rather than reduce their environmental impact.
The annual survey put out by New York-based advisory firm Alix Partners LLC, found that while 72 percent of the respondents said their companies have corporate policies or objectives in place, 84 percent indicated lower costs are more important than is improved global impact. Those numbers are even higher among European companies, with 88 percent saying they had sustainability efforts in place, with 89 percent saying it was more about costs than impact.
The survey, comprised of mostly high level executives based in Europe and the U.S. from 10 different industries with a majority of them in shipping, represents what Alix Partners is calling their first global effort to measure the behavioral impact of sustainability initiatives.
The lack of adequate financial return is the main roadblock toward greater progress in sustainable initiatives, according to the survey. Almost 43 percent said they were undecided as to whether their companies would invest in a sustainability plan next year.
The survey also points out the different viewpoints of executives on opposite sides of the globe. According to the European respondents, recycling raw materials, energy conservation and switching to alternative energy are the main drivers behind their efforts, while in the U.S. consolidating LTL shipments into fewer, larger shipments was the main impetus.
Mondelez Supply Chain Overhaul to Save $3 Billion
Mondelez, the owner of Cadbury Chocolate and Kraft Foods Mondelez International, is making major changes in its supply chain, which the company says will save $3 billion over the next three years.
For starters, upgrades to the company's Oreo cookie manufacturing lines will reduce operating costs by $10 million per line. In addition, Mondelez is investing in 14 greenfield plants by 2020 that will also improve efficiency and reduce supply chain costs.
Chairman and CEO Irene Rosenfeld said, "In North America, we're targeting a 500-basis-point improvement in operating income margin, and we now expect to reach that target by 2016, a year earlier than originally anticipated." She added that, "In Europe, we're targeting an improvement of 250 basis points in OI (operating income) margin, which we also expect to reach by 2016."
Is AmazonFresh Just a Front to Expand Same-Day Delivery?
That's the question some reporters are posing, including FastCompany's J.J. McCorvey in a recent article, which said the Internet giant's AmazonFresh online grocery ordering and home delivery was launched to help the company put the infrastructure in place to handle not just groceries, but books, electronics and just about anything else consumers purchase online.
It's difficult and expensive to manage a fleet of urban delivery trucks, especially if those trucks aren't moving maximum volumes. Tom Furphy, a former Amazon executive, claimed to have said the idea for AmazonFresh was sold as a way to build economies of scale and justify the massive investment in same-day delivery capabilities.
Meanwhile, the company's been splurging on warehouses these past few years, which will support its goal of same-day delivery. Since 2012, Amazon has added 50 new facilities to its network, with five more in the U.S. added this year.
According to Bloomberg, Amazon's spending on fulfillment jumped more than 40 percent annually from 2010 to 2012, compared with 24 percent in 2009.
USDA Computer Glitch Causing Problems
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that a "technical glitch" in a new computer system used by inspectors at over 6,500 meatpacking and processing plants across the U.S. was shut down for two days in August, resulting in millions of pounds of beef, poultry and pork being shipped before it could be properly checked for E coli and other contaminants. Despite the computer failure, the USDA says there have been no reports of tainted meat being sold or consumed.
Two years ago, the USDA invested $20 million on a new computer system that was designed to improve food safety by streamlining the inspection process at meatpacking and procession plants, allowing for real time information and the ability to track problems before they turn into outbreaks. But since the system's launch in 2011, inspectors have consistently complained of crashes, glitches and problems.
The USDA has tried to downplay the problems in the past, with the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) director Alfred Almanza claiming the issues have little to do with the system and more to do with the lack of wireless networks in rural areas where plants are located. But this admission, along with another admission that computer issues caused "problems with meat sampling at 18 plants in 2012" is making it difficult for the USDA to earn the trust of industry and consumers when it comes to food safety.
Grocery Shopping Gets Its Tech Game On
When it comes to technology in the grocery store environment, the introduction of the bar code scanner in the 1970s was the last 'big thing.'
"You have an industry that's been kind of stuck in time," said Scott Mushkin, a grocery retail analyst at Wolfe Research, in a recent Los Angeles Times article. "Grocers have to invest. Their business models have been under so much pressure, they're fighting for their lives."
In response, grocers have been rolling out some new technologies to improve shoppers' experience. Ralph's—a Southern California grocery chain owned by Kroger—is testing QueVision, a system that uses hidden infrared cameras with body heat trackers to determine the number of shoppers in the story at any given moment. The information is used by managers to deploy extra cashiers when it gets busy.
A spokeswoman from Ralph's says QueVision has slashed the amount of time it takes to get to the front of the line to about 30 seconds compared to the national average of four minutes.
Walmart's PTI Deadline Nov. 1 For Fresh Produce
Walmart says it will start rejecting fresh produce shipments at its DCs starting November 1 if the shipments do not have labels compliant with the Produce Traceability Initiative (PTI).
The development is welcome news for PTI's leadership and others in the industry who say the buy-in from Walmart will give others the necessary push to establish their own deadlines to start using PTI compliant labels.
"Eco-Eating" on the Rise
Consumers' desire to eat ecologically responsible foods is on the rise, and it's extending beyond the grocery stores to restaurants and hotels, according to a recent article in Sustainable Brands.
New research entitled the Eco-Eating Culinary Trend Mapping Report states that "eco-eating takes many forms, typically starting with organic dairy and produce and moving on to plant-based proteins." In addition, "While in the past it may have been sufficient to stop there and call it an eco-progressive meal plan, today progressive diners and food shoppers are beginning to think about their eco-eating footprints and are looking for sustainable choices in all sorts of new places."
Among the trends gaining momentum from an interest in eco-eating are: Edible Packaging; Protein-Packed Insects; Restaurant Gardens and Hotel Beehives; New Sustainable Seafood Choices; Grass-Fed Beef; Meatless Family Meals; and Today's Tofu, which has become tastier and more mainstream than in previous years.

What People Are Saying About Lynn's Angel Workshops
"It's about being intentional—setting that space aside, actively looking, watching, and listening. It's inspired me to actually pursue and go after angels."
"For me, there was a big wake-up call when we talked about angels being unemployed. That should never be!
– Lynne Lee
"When Lynn said, 'Take up your positions,' I saw this generational position that I need to occupy. That really touched my heart! This is about being more courageous and speaking up! I feel stirred up in many ways! It reminded me to be much more intentional when I pray, asking the Lord to deploy His angels using Scripture—and that they act on it! It was very good to hear, "You're not late. You're right on time."
Charlotte Hanst
"My takeaway: we need to be aware of angels, because we need to encourage people that they're not alone."
– Ben Peters
The Sending Center
"This is really inspiring. It stirs up all kinds of possibilities. It's really wonderful to open up that whole realm of angelic assistance. "My takeaway: Be very intentional about setting apart time to ask the Lord, "What do you want to teach me? How do I loose and commission angels in the way that you want?"
– Sue Parker
Fort Knox, KY
"What stood out to me is the kid things. I'm just a huge kid at heart. I enjoyed the encouragement to "dream big dreams," because I always thought I had to squish them down to fit into a tiny can and put them on a shelf. Now I'm realizing there are helpers to get me where I need to go.
I'm really excited about this! "One of my big takeaways: I need to go back over my journals, and find out what verses are part of my 'destiny verses' about angels."
– Carolyn Herberger
"I was really blessed by the fact that when you release Scripture, it activates the angels. I love worship, sensing the Holy Spirit, and now sensing ministering angels rejoicing as well! I want to release everything that God has and to tell other people."
– Diana Davies

Testimonials from extremely satisfied clients of Thielen Turf Irrigation, Inc.
What our clients are saying about Thielen Turf Irrigation, Inc.
"In July 2013, Thielen Turf Irrigation undertook the largest turf irrigation project ever completed in the state of Michigan. The project, the installation of a computerized system in Dow Gardens, a 110-acre botanical garden in Midland, Michigan, was completed in just over four months. The two wire system included 182 electric valves, all run off two Toro Sentinel Controllers, 1,500 sprinkler heads, and 160 quick couplers.
Thielen Turf workers, under the supervision of Ben Thielen, were extremely efficient and, at all times respectful of the guests who continued to enjoy the Gardens during the construction. I was especially impressed by the communication during the project as Ben continually kept our management staff updated on what was being planned for the coming days and was always willing to adapt when events dictated it. In addition, the cleanup on the project was timely and very well done. On several occasions it was difficult, at day's end, to see where they had installed pipe.
"On behalf of the Greens Committee, Board of Directors and especially the members of the Traverse City Golf and Country Club, I would like to thank you for an outstanding job installing our new irrigation system.
Your crew was not only professional and organized but also worked tirelessly day in and day out to complete the project ahead of schedule. We received many positive comments on how your crew was able to work long hours every day and still make the course enjoyable to play during a major renovation.
Please feel free to use the Club as a reference for future projects as we would be happy to spread the word on how satisfied we are with your services and our new system.

Suu Kyi Touts Business-Friendly Environment at Myanmar Investment Summit
© Photo: Invest Myanmar Summit 2019/facebook
14:37 28.01.2019 Get short URL
Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi is hosting the first official forum for international investors in her country and is touting its commitment to reforms and national unity, as well as lucrative business opportunities in the growing domestic market.
Kristian Rouz — Myanmar State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi is making a bid to reassure foreign investors of business opportunities in the country at Myanmar Invest Summit 2019. Suu Kyi touted her country's economic reforms and loose regulatory environment while downplaying concerns prompted by the ongoing Rohingya tensions.

India Opens Gate to Bring ASEAN Closer Through Myanmar
Speaking at the opening of the two-day business gathering at Myanmar's capital Nay Pyi Taw, State Counsellor Suu Kyi sought to alleviate investor concerns regarding the slow pace of economic reforms, insufficient infrastructure development, and political risks in her country.
Suu Kyi said Myanmar has huge economic potential as many of its industries have yet to develop. The State Counsellor also said her country has a predominantly young population, cheap workforce, a growing domestic market, and an advantageous geographic location.
"I stand here to reaffirm our commitment to continue our reform and to build an investment-friendly environment," Suu Kyi said.
The Myanmar Invest Summit 2019 is the first official investment forum to have taken place in the country. According to the state media, the summit provides an opportunity to domestic and foreign investors to assess the investment potential of the country, which, for a significant part of its recent history only made global headlines in connexion with political events.

The Summit is also designed to give investors a glimpse at Myanmar's social life and culture, which remain largely unknown to the world.
"Please do come to Myanmar, soak in an atmosphere brimming with opportunities and witness our new-found economic vibrancy with your own eyes," Suu Kyi said, addressing a gathering of CEOs, diplomats and reporters at a Nay Pyi Taw conference hall.
Suu Kyi also explained some of the reforms she's launched since forming her administration back in 2016.

Myanmar, however, has a poor reputation among the international business community due to the so-called Rohingya crisis that flared up in 2017. International organisations have accused the Myanmar military of engaging in an alleged genocide of the nation's Muslim minority — accusations firmly denied by Nay Pyi Taw.
Myanmar officials have maintained their military operation in Rakhine state is aimed at fighting Islamic terror activity and ethnic separatism and doesn't represent an attempt at or actual ethnic cleansing, as some foreign observers have described the events.
Suu Kyi focused on the Myanmar economy during her speech at the Summit. She highlighted her government's commitment to the Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan (MSDP), which revolves around the State Counsellor's vision of social, economic, and environmental reforms.
Over the past few years, China has been Myanmar's main investment partner. Chinese companies are building an oil-and-gas pipeline from Myanmar's Indian Ocean coast to the Chinese province of Yunnan, which would allow Beijing to diversify its oil-shipment routes.

Most of China's oil imports are currently sent through the narrow Malacca Strait, which, some officials in Beijing believe, could be blockaded by the US or another foreign power if military tensions worsen.
Suu Kyi, however, said foreign investors from countries other than China are welcome in Myanmar. She unveiled more than 120 investment projects in the country, worth more than $3 bln, which she said were a highly-lucrative opportunity in terms of returns-on-investment (ROI).

She also pointed out Myanmar's active projects, including the Myotha Industrial Park City in Mandalay and Thilawa Special Economic Zone, are generating millions in profits.
Suu Kyi promised the further liberalisation of her country's economy, national reconciliation, and better state governance.
However, investors are wary of the recent projections issued by the World Bank. The international body said it expects the Myanmar economy to shrink 6.2 percent in fiscal 2018-19 after a 6.8-percent contraction the previous year.
Economists said international outrage over the Rakhine events, as well as a decline in Myanmar's exports of agricultural goods — coupled with a plunge in the international price of rice — would drag the nation's economy down in the near-to-medium-term.

Weld said he believes much of Trump's support is steered by "party bosses" in state GOP committees, but he wants to talk directly to Republicans voters about Trump's conduct and his policies.
"We want to the election, both the primary and general, decided by voters and not party bosses," he said. "I think what (voters) are saying is they are buffaloed and they want to stick with the Republican Party because they like the way it feels. I don't think they've examined the president's conduct."
Trump remains deeply popular with Republican voters, however. A recent Gallup pollshows that the president has an 89 percent job approval rating among Republican voters, and a 45 percent approval rating overall. Trump's reelection campaign also raised more than $30 million in the first quarter of 2019, far outpacing the field of Democratic candidates heading into the 2020 race.


Thomas Watson, the 17th century minister of St. Stephen's Walbrook, believed he faced two great difficulties in his pastoral ministry. The first was making the unbeliever sad, in the recognition of his need of God's grace. The second was making the believer joyful in response to God's grace. He believed the answer to the second difficulty could be found in Paul's teaching in Romans 8.28: God works all things together for good for his people. First published in 1663 (under the title A Divine Cordial), the year after Watson and some two thousand other ministers were ejected from the Church of England and exposed to hardship and suffering, All Things For Good contains the rich exposition of a man who lived when only faith in God's Word could lead him to such confidence. Thomas Watson's exposition is always simple, illuminating and rich in practical application. He explains that both the best and the worst experiences work for the good of God's people. He carefully analyses what it means to be someone who 'loves God' and is 'called according to his purpose'. All Things For Good provides the biblical answer to the contemporary question; Why do bad things happen to good people?

Sulphur Dell Memories: Lennon belts 64 homers in 1954
Skip Nipper
For The Tennessean
Prior to an Aug. 29, 1954 doubleheader at Sulphur Dell, Nashville's Bob Lennon was presented with a black Louisville Slugger bat with an engraved bronze plate providing details of his recent Southern Association home run record.
The previous total of 52 had been set in 1948 by another Nashville player, Charlie Workman. Lennon surpassed him on Aug. 23 with a 350-foot drive in Little Rock.
Lennon was also given a trophy by league president Charlie Hurth, and 5,419 fans in attendance received an 8x10 photograph of Lennon.
In the second game of the night, Lennon slammed homer No. 56, and on the last day of the season on Sept. 5, in a Labor Day doubleheader at home, he hit three to give him 64.
With a league-leading .345 batting average, 210 hits, 139 runs and 161 RBIs, Lennon was named Most Valuable Player.

10% of Teshia's Africa Series directly benefits the Art Elevated Giving Fund. This special fund was established after the Africa group visited Kensington Primary School in Kenya, where Teshia taught a painting class to kindergartners. During this unforgettable visit, Teshia & the Africa crew witnessed firsthand the lack of art supplies, amongst many other tools & learning items, that the children had access to. They had so very little, it was shocking. Nevertheless, those sweet kids welcomed Teshia & the group with huge smiles, open hearts, an eager willingness to learn, & a heartwarming enthusiasm to paint with Teshia!
Colby & Sarah, owners of Park City Fine Art & part of the Africa crew, immediately heard their calling. Having the huge hearts that they do, they immediately established the Art Elevated Giving Fund among returning home to the United States! Teshia is so happy & proud to give back to this amazing organization through her African Wildlife paintings. Through her art, she aspires to help make the world a more colorful place. Hopefully going forward, many artistic & creative African children will have greater opportunity to do so as well.
Providing creative outlets to impoverished schools and children; through art curriculums, mentoring supplies and projects. We believe that creating art supports mental, emotional, and physical development. Art in schools has shown to raise self-esteem, create purpose and value in children as well as develops the mind in problem solving, math, literacy and social skills. Through Art Elevated children can express experiences that cannot always be verbalized. Our mission is to raise generations who are empowered and feel valued in all of these areas. To elevate them to a next level of learning and thinking that helps them climb above their circumstances no matter what they may be.

Cul de Sac is an American comic strip created by Richard Thompson. It was distributed by Universal Press Syndicate/Universal Uclick to 150 worldwide newspapers from 2004 to 2012.

The central character is four-year-old Alice Otterloop, and the strip depicts her daily life at pre-school and at home.

Publication history
Thompson, also known for his weekly Richard's Poor Almanac strip in The Washington Post, began Cul de Sac as a limited strip in The Washington Post in February 2004. In September 2007, Cul de Sac entered daily syndication with the Universal Press Syndicate. Digital distribution is by Uclick GoComics.

Guest cartoonists and final strip
On July 16, 2009, Thompson announced that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a problem he described as "a pain in the fundament", which slowed him down but did not affect his drawing hand. He took a hiatus from the strip.

During the hiatus several other cartoonists stepped in to draw the Cul de Sac characters. The guest artists were Michael Jantze (The Norm), Corey Pandolph (The Elderberries), Lincoln Peirce (Big Nate), Stephan Pastis (Pearls Before Swine), Ruben Bolling (Tom the Dancing Bug) and children's author Mo Willems.

Upon Thompson's return to Cul de Sac on March 26, 2012, it was announced that children's book illustrator Stacy Curtis would become the inker of Cul de Sac.

On August 17, 2012, Thompson announced that due to health issues he would be ending his work as a comic-strip creator, with his final Cul de Sac being published on September 23, 2012.

While Thompson had originally planned to draw a final strip for the comic himself, one day before its previously announced publishing date he posted a message online, stating, "Spoiler alert – i couldn't draw a new Sunday so tomorrow's is a repeat too. Sorry! I'll do better next time." That strip was a rerun originally published on February 18, 2007, which had also appeared on the back cover of the first book collection, Cul De Sac: This Exit in 2008.  In it, Petey explains to Alice how comic strips are "a mighty, yet dying art form."

Thompson died at 58 on July 27, 2016.

Characters and story

Universal Press Syndicate describes Cul de Sac as "a light-hearted comic strip centered around a four-year-old girl and her suburban life experiences on a cul-de-sac with her friends Beni and Dill, older brother Petey and her classmates at Blisshaven Academy pre-school. Alice describes her father's car as a Honda-Tonka Cuisinart and talks to the class guinea pig, Mr. Danders. She has the typical older brother who plays jokes on her, and she contemplates ways to keep the scary clown from jumping out of the jack-in-the-box with friends."

Alice Otterloop
The strip's main character. A willful four-year old girl living in suburbia. The strip typically focuses on her exposure to new things and her commentary on these experiences. She enjoys dancing on manhole covers.

Petey Otterloop
Alice's older brother Petey is quiet, bookish, more experienced and is Alice's primary source of information on new phenomena. The eight-year-old has been called "King of the Picky Eaters" by his mother; however according to Internet rankings, he still is not the world's pickiest eater. Petey often describes mundane school and suburban experiences in a mythic style as though the information was being passed down from generation to generation of school children. A comic devotee, he is also an aspiring comic artist, who is forever working on and revising his own graphic novel, Toad Zombies. Petey only considers himself to have three and a half friends (Viola, Andre, Loris, and Ernesto, who only counts as half a friend since he might be imaginary.) Thompson has said that Petey, Andre and Loris together are like an atom, with Andre as the proton, Petey as the neutron, and Loris as the electron.

Madeline Otterloop
Alice and Petey's mother is a stay-at-home mom taking care of the day-to-day running of the household. She is often seen driving the children around in a van of a color "so neutral that it does not occur in nature". Mrs. Otterloop's maiden name is Urquhart.

Peter Otterloop
Alice and Petey's father is seen less frequently and works a daily office job at an unnamed location.  Peter Sr. is bald, slight in build, and nerdy like his son.  Before the strip was rebooted for syndication, his employer was described as the Federal "Department of Consumption". However, a number of Washington, D.C.-specific features have disappeared since the reboot, and his employer has not been mentioned since. According to the official website, he currently works as the "Assistant Director of Pamphlets at the U.S. Department of Consumption, Office of Consumer Complaints". He commutes to work in a car that Alice describes as a "Honda-Tonka Cuisinart".

Dill Wedekind
Dill, the Caucasian friend with the few bristles of hair, is possibly the most eccentric character in the strip, frequently making strange or unrelated statements. He is in the same class and neighborhood as Alice, as well as one of her best friends. A running joke is his reference to his unseen disreputable older brothers. He sometimes rides a yellow tricycle with blue wheels.

Beni
Along with Dill, Beni is Alice's other best friend, the dark-haired and dark-skinned one. He appears to be technically minded and is skilled with tools; his grandmother "tells filthy jokes in Spanish" and he himself once used the interjection "Hijole!" implying he might be Hispanic. He is good at soccer.

Ernesto Lacuna
Ernesto is a crossing guard that Petey met and initially thought existed only in his imagination. He wears glasses and is always well-groomed in a tie and vest. When he was fired from his crossing guard position, he blamed Petey. He declared his affection for Viola and claimed a super-power (putting people's feet to sleep). He speaks and acts like an adult and frequently chides Petey for his 'childish' pursuits or interests. Petey just wishes he would go away.  Andre has told Petey definitively that Ernesto is imaginary, though he has yet to prove it; Mrs. Otterloop and Viola have both interacted with Ernesto, implying that he in fact exists.

Viola D'More
Viola, a girl in Petey's school band, plays the marimba. She wears glasses and has curly hair. She calls Petey "Petey Potterpoop" (a nickname which had, in fact, been given to Mr. Otterloop when he was Petey's age) and seems to enjoy embarrassing him, although she is always friendly and has never been deliberately cruel. Their relationship remains ambiguous, Petey sometimes seems to like her and at other times is almost indifferent. Alice calls her Petey's "almost girlfriend". Viola has an over-sized backpack with many adornments, one of which (a purple unicorn) she gave Petey as a charm against Ernesto. It apparently worked since Petey did not see Ernesto for several days after. For a long time, her last name was uncertain; Ernesto called her 'Viola D'More' when he was claiming her as 'his love' (see Viola d'amore). The D'More surname was confirmed in a June 2010 strip.

Marcus DeMarco
A classmate of Alice. Bespectacled and nerdy, Marcus is scared of his mother, who is always documenting him for scrapbooks.

Ms. Bliss
The only teacher at Blisshaven Academy, a pre-school attended by Alice, Beni, Dill and Marcus. She loves education and is usually cheerful. She often becomes irritated with the children's constant antics. She has been engaged multiple times to Timmy Fretwork, the Banjo Man, although they have yet to wed.  Thompson has admitted on several occasions that Bliss is her first name, not her surname.

Mr. Danders
Blisshaven's pet guinea pig. Mr. Danders claims to be well read and has many literary opinions. He often speaks using eloquent, long words. A prominent character in the strip's early days, he last appeared in March 2012 when the strip featured guest cartoonists.

Andre Chang
A heavyset boy Petey met at cartoon camp. He has bushy hair with thick bangs, coke-bottle glasses, and wears shirts with sound effects printed on the front. He likes to read comics with much action and noise. He gets along very well with Alice. He has four sisters.

Loris Slothrop
A short girl who goes to cartoon camp with Petey. She has big eyes, although her right eye is usually covered by her hair. She has from two to three ponytails sticking from her hair. When asked what type of comics she prefers, she said she likes "little cute animal cartoons with big eyes who're also magic robot vampire ninjas, but sensitive," an example being "Squirrelly Shirley, the pink robot alien girl crime-fighter who's a werewolf squirrel." Loris's self-made comic book, "Lulu Lightspeed," "deals realistically with issues facing blue, big-eyed robots with pointed ears." She has been shown to be very fast, being the first one to run out the door when a bee invaded the cartoon camp. The surname "Slothrop" is shared with Tyrone Slothrop, the protagonist of Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon.

Nara
A preschooler about whom few details have surfaced. She frequently brings duck-shaped potatoes for show and tell, much to Alice's chagrin. Nara is in ballet and has gone to watch a ballet before.

Sofie
A girl who came to Blisshaven more recently. At first she seemed very timid, sitting silently in the corner. After Alice dubbed her "Weird New Kid", Sofie revealed her aggressive nature. Alice is also seemingly incapable of remembering Sofie's name, frequently calling her "Soapie" and/or "Sofa", but considers her her new best friend.

Kevin
A preschooler with blond hair, prominent ears, and a "bucket head", according to Alice. He seems to have many anxieties and is a natural target for Alice's teasing.

Uh-Oh Baby
A baby that just shows up occasionally and says "uh-oh." The baby is never accompanied by an adult and no-one knows where it comes from. The kids always react in fear.

Recurring themes
Mr. Otterloop's car
This 'clown car' is tiny, hence the recurring visual and verbal gags about its size. Alice says it is "half cuisinart".

Manhole cover
Alice and her friends use a manhole cover in a nearby vacant lot as a soapbox for performance art or to declare opinions.

Shoebox dioramas
Petey is slowly documenting the history of man through the medium of shoebox dioramas which he keeps beneath his bed.

Big Shirley
Big Shirley is a large, friendly dog that belongs to Alice's grandmother. Alice is completely terrified of Big Shirley, once even abandoning her precious toy bunny Polyfil to save herself from the dog's slobbering clutches.

Little Neuro
A strip-within-the-strip, a parody of Little Nemo. Petey's favorite reading, a strip about a little boy who hardly ever stirs from his bed.

Sports
On several occasions, Petey has reluctantly played soccer on his mother's insistence. His lack of athletic skill and social awkwardness has resulted in multiple out-of-body experiences.

Books
The first book collection of Cul de Sac strips, Cul de Sac: This Exit, was published September 1, 2008 by Andrews McMeel Publishing. It includes the pre-syndication The Washington Post strips in color, as well as a foreword by Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes), who praised Thompson's work:

I thought the best newspaper comic strips were long gone, and I've never been happier to be wrong. Richard Thompson's Cul de Sac has it all—intelligence, gentle humor, a delightful way with words, and, most surprising of all, wonderful, wonderful drawings. Cul de Sac'''s whimsical take on the world and playful sense of language somehow gets funnier the more times you read it. Four-year-old Alice and her Blisshaven Preschool classmates will ring true to any parent. Doing projects in a cloud of glue and glitter, the little kids manage to reinterpret an otherwise incomprehensible world via their meandering, nonstop chatter. But I think my favorite character is Alice's older brother, Petey. A haunted, controlling milquetoast, he's surely one of the most neurotic kids to appear in comics. These children and their struggles are presented affectionately, and one of the things I like best about Cul de Sac is its natural warmth. Cul de Sac avoids both mawkishness and cynicism and instead finds genuine charm in its loopy appreciation of small events. Very few strips can hit this subtle note.

A second collection, Children at Play: A Cul de Sac Collection, was published in 2009 by Andrews McMeel. It features a foreword by writer-artist Mo Willems. A treasury book, Cul de Sac Golden Treasury: A Keepsake Garland of Classics, was published July 6, 2010 by Andrews McMeel. It features strips from the previous two book collections along with the early strips from the original run in The Washington Post. The book also features captions with additional insight or commentary written by Thompson himself. Writer Charles Solomon praised the new book in his review for the Los Angeles Times, stating "Cul de Sac proves the comic strip remains a viable art form while bucking current trends".

A third book of strip reprints, titled Shapes & Colors: A Cul de Sac Collection, was released on December 14, 2010. A fourth, The Mighty Alice, was released May 8, 2012, and features both the daily strips and Sunday installments in color. After the strip's run ended, a two-volume book collecting the entire run of the strip and selections of early The Washington Post strips, The Complete Cul de Sac, was released on May 6, 2014.

Cul de Sac animated
A series of Cul de Sac'' animated shorts, produced by RingTales, are hosted by Babelgum. These shorts are 30-second to minute-long animated versions of the comic strips. Thompson's wife provides the voice of Madeline Otterloop, Alice and Petey's mother. Thompson has said that one of the kids is voiced by an adult.

Bruges has long been on my list of places to visit. Known as the "Venice of the North," this quaint town set in the region of Flanders in Belgium is everything picturesque. When you first arrive into the town, the winding canals and brick buildings bring to attention the historic importance. To me, a hotel that brings in everything that is the culture and history of its city, brings to life the experience of a destination. When I first saw the Hotel de Orangerie, I knew it did exactly that.
Set aside one of the oldest canals in Bruges, the Hotel de Orangerie embraces the historic importance yet provides modern amenities. It's no surprise that the motto of the hotel is "where the past meets the present." A renovated 15th-century convent, the Hotel de Orangerie transformed a cluster of buildings into a 20 room oasis. Maintaining elegance and tastefully-done decor, the interior is grand yet refined.
The waiting room is the first to note when you walk into the hall of the hotel. Set with high ceilings, it is bright and welcoming. As you pass through the lobby, it is without surprise that the salon and dining room is the star. Decorated with tapestries and old paintings, it is the ultimate place to settle in. The hotel also boasted a lovely terrace along the canal, making it a great spot for an afternoon drink. Each morning, breakfast is had in the dining room with plenty of choices from local breads and cheese, fresh juice, and eggs to order. Even though it is a hotel, it truly feels like you are living as a resident of Bruges.
The 20 rooms are equipped with amenities like AC, complimentary Wi-Fi, and safes. They are comfortable rooms — large closets for storage, a sitting area with a coffee machine, and a desk which I used frequently for work. The bathrooms felt homey, with a large soaking tub that was used nightly to soak in. At night, the beds were equally as comfortable, making for a good night's sleep before the next day's adventures. Each room is unique, decorated differently, and varies in size.
The Hotel de Orangerie was the perfect place to rest each night. It was quiet, centrally located and had incredible service. An extremely helpful front desk made the time in Bruges easy and relaxed. This historic hotel is surely a boutique and intimate experience.
Try a traditional afternoon tea inside the hotel.
Take in a view of the canal from the saloon, the place to have an old-world cocktail.
Be sure to be a member of Small Luxury Hotels to get a free room upgrade (on availability).
*Bon Traveler was welcomed as a guest of Hotel de Orangerie. As always, all opinions are own.
You bet! Have a wonderful trip!

Movie Review: "Maggie" (2015)
Movie: "Maggie"
Director: Henry Hobson
A plague is traveling across the country, infecting people and turning them into uncontrollable cannibal zombies. The disease takes over the body slowly and as it gets worse, all of the infected are supposed to be placed in quarantine which has terrible conditions for those held there. One father named Wade (Arnold Schwarzenegger) won't see his infected daughter Maggie (Abigail Breslin) placed in those conditions, so he decides to keep her at home no matter how dangerous it may be.
BigJ and I, along with our partner from Instareviews.ca, Jeffrey, were invited to screen this film before it was released in theaters. We were glad to have such an opportunity and watched this while making mental notes. We also discussed it on a podcast version of this review, which you can check out here: https://soundcloud.com/nstaeviews/episode-7-maggie-movie-review
Upon hearing Arnold Schwarzenegger was set to be in a cannibal zombie plague movie, we immediately thought there could be some kick ass "Walking Dead" style zombie slaying ahead, especially considering his resume. Unfortunately, there isn't much of that at all. Instead, what we get is an extended version of all the boring parts of "The Walking Dead," specifically, all the drama with none of the zombie slaying to break up the tragic broken family problems. Sure, there are a couple times where Arnold is forced to kill a cannibal zombie or two, but these scenes are few and far between and lack excitement anyways, so it's all but a moot point. There is some disgusting imagery involving festering wounds and though the infected look pretty cool, that's about it, and we're sorely disappointed about it. Even when these wounds are shown, the color palette of the movie is so drab and boring on its own that none of these nasty images stand out as anything to write home about. Putting Arnold Schwarzenegger in a dramatic lead role just seems like bad casting to us. Hearing him speak on The Late Late Show with James Corden, he mentioned being excited to do a comedy film like "Twins" many years ago because he had been typecast into his action roles. Well, we hate to say it, but it seems like he woke up one morning and got the bright idea that he wanted to star in a drama, and here we are, writing to you about this film. He was never an actor known for his stellar acting chops to begin with, nor has he ever shown he has the ability to create a deeply layered character. This film is, unfortunately, no exception, and it pains us to write this because we love Arnold as an actor most of the time. We seem to always be able to count on him for a good laugh, even if they are unintended. This film is very much a human type of story, and though the dynamic is sort of there between Breslin and Schwarzenegger, it's not enough. In fact, there's a point at which Arnold is absent from the screen for over 20 minutes, so it begs the question, why not hire someone cheaper?
"Maggie" simply wound up being slow moving and painfully dull drama with little to no thrills and barely anything to keep us interested or engaged. The family drama isn't compelling and the internal conflict can't be felt by the audience. This conflict has been portrayed much more efficiently and much better in other, more compelling zombie and epidemic style films that are much more entertaining. On top of all this boring nonsense, the ending doesn't even pay off and is such a cop-out, we are still angry about it. If the director, Henry Hobson, who made his directorial debut with this movie, is going to continue his career in film making, he needs to know this cop-out type of ending is rarely ever satisfying to the audience. It's okay to ruffle a few feathers, and since he spent the majority of the film showing the goings on off camera or at a tilted angle anyways, he shouldn't be afraid to take a chance with a risky ending. Plus, if my husband came home with his plague-infected daughter and I had two other kids in the house to worry about, I'm GONE, do you know what I mean? Unless you brought her home to bring her out to the back and Old Yeller her yourself, I'm not risking my life or the lives of my other two kids so you can watch your eldest child turn into a flesh-craving zombie! So little happens in the picture we're struggle to find more things to talk about in this review. This film will be quickly forgotten if anybody even knew it existed in the first place.
BigJ's Rating: 4.5/10

Waterfront site in Glasgow to be sold by council for major regeneration project
Glasgow City Council has now approved the disposal of three plots at a site in Tradeston - close to the Tradeston pedestrian/cycle bridge - that will allow the development of a major regeneration project that will deliver over 900,000 square feet of Grade A office space and over 300 new homes.
The project is expected to provide work space for 7,000 employees through significant inward investment schemes.
The council's Contract's and Property Committee approved the disposal - for £1,317,500 - of three plots on the site: a cleared site of 0.42 acres, adjacent to the pedestrian/cycle bridge; a site of 0.03 acres, forming part of the public footpath and road; and a Social Work Assessment Centre of 0.258 acres, which will be relocated to Rodney Street in the city.
The site will be purchased by Drum Property Group, with work expected to begin in late 2018, with completion in three years.
Councillor Kenny McLean, City Convener for Neighbourhoods, Housing and Public Realm, said: "The disposal of these plots will enable a development bringing a huge amount of Grade A office space, new homes and new jobs to the city centre, as well as a contribution to the public purse. This project will mark a new chapter in the regeneration of both Tradeston and the waterfront."
The site in Tradeston offers huge potential as a location, with excellent connections such as the pedestrian/cycle bridge linking the area to the International Financial Services District and the wider city centre.

People in Your La Jolla Neighborhood: Meet Bonnie McKean, the new VP of Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
By Ashley Mackin-Solomon
Aug. 14, 2019 3 PM PT
PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD:
Newly appointed Osher Lifelong Learning Institute vice president Bonnie McKean of La Jolla has come a long way in the last two years. She moved to The Jewel seeking "sun, an ocean view and Osher" about 20 months ago, and was named the vice-president earlier this month. A learning program for seniors offered through the UC San Diego Extension, the Institute offers one-time lectures as well as six-week classes for adults, ages 55 and older. There are 120 Osher programs in the United States, and more than 1,000 people have registered for the program at UCSD.
What brought you to Osher?
"15 years ago, I lived in Orange County and a friend of mine told me about the program through UC Irvine, and I participated for as long as I lived there. Then I moved to the Bay Area and participated in the program offered at UC Berkeley for 10 years. When my kids moved to snow country and grandma could no longer be near the little ones, I asked myself what I was seeking? I came up with 'sun, an ocean view and Osher.' So I looked around and found the UCSD program. I've been delighted with it because it is different from the ones in Orange County and Berkeley."
How does Osher UCSD differ from others?
"The other programs are more of a university format: you sign up for a class and take it for as long as the quarter lasts. Here, we have one-off lectures as well as longer-term programs. For instance, I'm taking a class on the Architecture of the Silk Road (a six-class program), and I took a one-off lecture this morning on the composer Gustav Mahler. All of them are phenomenal, we get professors who might not want to teach a six-week class, so we get a terrific caliber of professor.
Plus, the Berkeley program costs $900 a year, which is reasonable if you are there every day, which I typically was; but our program is $265 a year, and if someone cannot make it to campus — and this is unique to San Diego — you can view classes on a computer at home for $25 for the year. Through the online-only program, you have access to the whole archive past and present."
How did you go from a new student to program VP in less than two years?
"The president asked! I had not volunteered before, but once I realized it would be been a great way to get to know people — and all it involved was talking to people about the program — I said yes."
How were you as a student when you were in college?
"I wasn't as gung-ho as I am now, but I went to Berkeley at a time that was very exciting. It was during the Free Speech Movement of the early 1960s. It was wasn't as difficult to get in then as it is now, but it was a really exciting place to be. I enjoyed going to school ... life was exciting in different ways, maybe not so much in the book department. But I got through it."
What is about Osher that appeals to you?
"I was very lucky that I retired at age 50, so 24 years ago, I found myself with no office to go to and wondered what to do with my time. I started taking watercolor classes, but when 9/11 happened, I wanted to learn more about the Islamic World because I found myself asking, 'Why?' Then I discovered these programs existed, and they fit the bill. Osher gives me structure and the opportunity to grow. I think it's a great program for seniors. You are supposed to be age 55. but we have a couple of 'kids' in their early 50s who must sneak in with their parents." (laughs)
Osher brought you to La Jolla, but what do you think about the town, now that you're here?
"I love The Village concept. I like that I can walk around and see people I know, which doesn't happen often in a major city. The fact that I went to The Conrad Performing Arts Center and could walk there from where I had dinner ... everything is so together. And I love the Scripps' history! I connect to Ellen Browning Scripps because she was a publisher and so was I in my professional life. So we have a similar history, but in a very different time.
Art is also a passion of mine, and I did not know the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego would be closed (for renovation) and I thought that would be the center of my world. But I'm looking forward to it opening again."
— Osher Lifelong Learning Institute wraps up its summer session this month (with a handful of one-off lectures scheduled), and the fall Open House is Saturday, Sept. 21. Learn more at extension.ucsd.edu/olli/home

Rep. Lowey Warns Westchester Residents Of Increase In Scams

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. – Cell phones, social media and new payment systems are among tools that scammers are using to trick senior citizens in Westchester County out of thousands of dollars, according to officials.
U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey (D- 17th District) warns senior citizens, caretakers and families of a spike in financial scams aimed at senior citizens.
"My constituents have been talked into giving thousands and thousands of dollars, because they've been told a grandchild is in serious trouble," said Lowey in a press release. "Some have even spoken to someone they are sure is that grandchild. It is not. It's an imposter who knows, as grandparents always tell me, information that only their grandchild would know, which generally, the crooks have learned form the Internet.
The scam Lowey spoke of usually involves an imposter impersonating a grandchild, who calls a grandparent and seeks financial assistance to escape a bad situation in a foreign country. A recent news report highlighted such a scam in which a grandparent gave up $20,000.
According to the New York State Attorney General's Office, elderly victims across the state lost $441,000 to the "Grandparent Scam" in 2012.
The uses of voice mimicry, attainable personal information from the Internet, and simpler ways to pay have made the scam more sophisticated, according to a press release.
"It's hard to imagine a scam worse than one that preys on senior citizens," said Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. "I am committed to doing anything I can to prosecute consumer fraud across our state and to educating New Yorkers on how to avoid scams that target older adults. Programs like our state wide "Smart Seniors" initiative help seniors avoid becoming victims in the first place. I am pleased to join Congresswoman Lowey in getting the word out to seniors about how to recognize scams and stay safe."
If you or a senior citizen you know suspects that he or she is being scammed, or has been a victim of a scam, call the state Attorney General's Office hotline at 1-800-771-7755 or visit www.ag.ny.gov
