Ivy League Cancels Tournaments; 2 Other Conferences Bar Fans
The Ivy League's bids to the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments will be awarded to the regular season champions
By Ralph D. Russo	• Published March 10, 2020 • Updated on March 10, 2020 at 5:12 pm
The Ivy League on Tuesday canceled its men's and women's basketball tournaments and two other Division I conferences announced they will restrict fan access to their postseason games because of concerns about the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The Ivy League's four-team tournaments were scheduled to be played Friday through Sunday at Lavietes Pavilion in Cambridge. The Ivy League instead will award its automatic NCAA Tournament bids to the regular-season champions, the Princeton women and Yale men.
Later Tuesday, the Mid-American Conference said it was implementing a restricted attendance policy at its men's and women's basketball tournaments in Cleveland this week. That announcement came on the heels of Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine recommending that all indoor sporting events in the state be played without spectators on site.
The Big West said its men's and women's basketball tournaments in Southern California will be played without spectators. Most of those game will be played at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

The Ivy tournaments are the first at the Division I basketball level to be canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak.
For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover from the new virus.
Conference tournaments have been going on all over the country since last week at venues big and small. Most of the biggest conferences, such as the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference, begin their men's tournaments this week at large arenas in major cities.
The NCAA men's and women's Division I tournaments begin next week. The NCAA responded quickly to the Ivy League's announcement, saying it planned to play its games at the scheduled sites with no adjustments to fan access, but is monitoring the situation.
"NCAA member schools and conferences make their own decisions regarding regular season and conference tournament play," NCAA president Mark Emmert said Tuesday in a statement. "As we have stated, we will make decisions on our events based on the best, most current public health guidance available."
A few hours later, DeWine announced his recommendation for all high school, college and professional teams in Ohio to play without spectators in attendance, the NCAA released a another brief, less definitive statement.
"We are consulting with public health officials and our COVID-19 advisory panel, who are leading experts in epidemiology and public health, and will make decisions in the coming days," the NCAA said.
The first four games of the NCAA men's tournament are scheduled to be played in Dayton, Ohio, and first- and second-round games are scheduled for Cleveland on March 20 and 22.
CBS and Turner Sports held a conference call Tuesday for reporters to discuss the NCAA men's tournament with network executives and some high-profile announcers, such as Jim Nantz and Charles Barkley.
CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus and Jeff Zucker, chairman of WarnerMedia News and Sports, said the NCAA is in constant contact with its television partners. They said decisions regarding whether to postpone or cancel games or limit fan access to venues will be made solely by the NCAA.
"Obviously, it would be a different atmosphere and we wouldn't be focusing as we often do on the excitement of the fans," McManus said. "The basketball game is still going to be produced as it would if there are fans in the stands."
The Ivy League also announced Tuesday it will limit spectators at all other sporting events for the rest of the spring season.
The Princeton, New Jersey-based league said the decision was made in "accordance with the guidance of public health and medical professionals to discourage and limit large gatherings on campuses in light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation."
Ivy League Executive Director Robin Harris said in a phone interview with the AP Tuesday afternoon that the league presidents had been talking for a few weeks about contingency plans. It wasn't until Tuesday morning that the presidents decided to call off the tournament.
"They've devoted a lot of time to this. It's a decision they didn't take lightly," Harris said. "They consulted with their experts on campus. They are groups that are meeting many times a day developing policies. We are so devastated for the student-athletes."
Harris said the decision wasn't about the location. It was about "the gathering of a group that would be larger than our schools are allowing on their campus for non-athletic events," she said.
Harris said a gym without fans would still have too many people in the building because of the travel parties of the eight teams and those working the event.
The league said all tickets will be refunded and ticket holders with questions should contact the Harvard ticket office.
The women's tournament was scheduled to start Friday night, with top-seeded Princeton facing Columbia and No. 2 seed Penn facing Yale. The winners were to meet Saturday in the championship game.
Columbia, which was to play in the women's tournament for the first time, was about to start practice when coach Megan Griffith shared the news.
"Their hearts are broken. Completely devastated. They should be," Griffith said. "We understand there are health risks. This is not something to be lightly taken. We don't know what alternatives were discussed. It's hard to swallow."
The league held a conference call Monday with coaches and other school staff to go over tournament logistics. Penn women's basketball coach Mike McLaughlin said that it was a "typical call where you say what you're supposed to say."
"There was not a great deal of depth behind it. I think we all knew something was going to change. It wasn't going to sit the way it was a year ago. I didn't sense it would be canceled outright."
When McLaughlin learned of the cancellation, he quickly called his team together so players could find out from him and not through social media.
"When (McLaughlin) said it, I was in immediate shock," Penn senior Kendall Grasela said. "We get the bid to the WNIT but don't get a chance to compete for an NCAA slot. ... I broke down, I could have played my last college game and not even known that."
Grasela talked to the other team captains. The group reached out to the other Ivy League schools and has started an an online petition to get the tournament reinstated.
McLaughlin, Griffith and Grasela were all upset about what they see as inconsistencies in the league because other sports are still able to play this weekend and beyond while basketball is not.
"It's difficult to swallow. That's what we're trying to deal with," McLaughlin said. "We're not able to play and now they are finding other sports are able to play. There's an inconsistency of messages."
The men's tournament was to begin Saturday with top-seeded Yale playing Penn, followed by No. 2 seed Harvard facing Princeton. The men's championship game was set for Sunday.
"It's a bittersweet moment for us," Yale spokesman Mike Gambardella said. "We're happy our men will get an (automatic bid), but disappointed that our women won't be able to compete for a championship."

AFL-CIO Fails on Disclosure
By Ethan Wallison
Posted November 21, 2003 at 6:22pm
Officials at the AFL-CIO are blaming "human error" for the organization's failure to report presumably millions of dollars spent lobbying Congress over the past two years, while insisting there had been no attempt made to shield the group's lobbying activities from public view.
Senior officials at the labor group attributed the lapses to the organization's legal division, which has been tasked with vetting and then filing the reports with Congress. Officials discovered when they made inquiries into the missing reports last week that the reports had never even been compiled.
Bill Samuel, the organization's top lobbyist, said the lawyers told him that they had been unable to collect all the information they needed from the AFL-CIO's numerous departments, and "rather than sending them in incomplete, they waited for taxicab receipts and other things."
"I think it was poor staff work," Samuel said. "And without pointing any fingers, it was our legal people [who were at fault]."
AFL-CIO officials said the organization was expecting by Monday to file a report covering the six-month period ending June 30, along with its missing year-end report from 2001.
However, AFL-CIO officials "may still be reviewing" the two missing reports from the interval, and these disclosures will be filed as soon as they are ready, a spokeswoman said.
Under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, it is illegal for anyone who lobbies Congress to "knowingly" fail to comply with the reporting requirements or fail to correct a "defective filing," once it is cited by Congressional officials. Violators can face civil fines of up to $50,000.
In defending their failure to file the reports, AFL-CIO officials said they had not been aware of the oversight until it was revealed to them last week, and indicated they never received any notices from Capitol Hill that would have noted the lapses in filing.
But a senior Congressional official who is involved in overseeing the disclosure process said records clearly show that the AFL-CIO, like every other group that lobbies Congress, was sent reminders before the end of each filing period that the deadline loomed.
"They're in the lobbying database. They got the [reminders]," the official said.
The official acknowledged, however, that the AFL-CIO has probably not received so-called "dun letters" that are sent to lapsed filers. A backlog of those reminders piled up as an indirect consequence of the Capitol Hill anthrax attacks of 2001, and the bulk of the 2001 and 2002 letters will not go out until December.
The Congressional official said lobbying reports are not always complete when they are filed, and that lobbyists often amend their reports as new information comes in. Lobbyists are required to file on time regardless of whether their reports are complete, the official added.
AFL-CIO officials said it remains a mystery even to them how the organization managed to go two years without filing a report — a rote practice at any active lobbying shop in Washington.
"We have no excuse," Samuel said. "If we [in the legislative affairs division] had known [the reports weren't] submitted, we would have done it ourselves. From now on, I think we will do it ourselves."
In generic terms, the semiannual reports provide broad detail of lobbying efforts during the filing period, as well as the total amount of money spent in support of those efforts.
The last report filed by the AFL-CIO, covering the six months ending June 30, 2001, revealed nearly $1.3 million in expenditures.
The two-year period in question covers virtually the duration of the Bush presidency, whose onset marked a turning point for organized labor's fortunes on Capitol Hill.
As a result, some Republicans have insinuated there may be more than coincidence to the timing. They note that the practical effect of the lapse would be to obscure the AFL-CIO's lobbying activities during one of the most contentious legislative periods in the group's recent history (even if evidently no one sought out the disclosures during that time).
House Education and the Workforce Chairman John Boehner (R-Ohio), who charged the AFL-CIO with waging "an unprecedented campaign of lies" against GOP initiatives in recent years, singled out legislation that would enable businesses to provide "comp time" in lieu of overtime pay — a measure organized labor has fought tooth-and-nail.
"Did the AFL-CIO fail to disclose the lobbying resources and tactics it devoted to this project? If so, why?" Boehner asked.
He added, "If law or rules were broken, it should be investigated, and there should be accountability."

Dropsets are a time-honored technique for getting in more training volume, quickly. Do they work? The answer is "sometimes". Plus, a dropset that I love to use, that involves looking like a bird at the gym.
The old-school belief is that we needed to vary rest periods depending on how strength or endurance focused we wanted our adaptations to be, as well as how much metabolic stress we want to provoke. Recent research suggests otherwise.
It used to be believed that you could only build muscle with sufficiently heavy weights. Last week's analysis of "no load" exercise showed that it's not that simple. Here's a bigger overview of how you can build muscle with any amount of weight.
It's widely believed that certain people "can't" lift weights. However, recent research shows that even "no load" exercise can produce muscular growth, making it an important tool for training around injury or disability. This article covers the theory and some of the practical methods of this approach.

Construction is to begin in six to eight months on the $200 million retail and office project Bayview Market in the Biscayne corridor at 17th Street, developer Ignacio Garcia Du-Quesne says.
The developer is getting a push from Omni's Community Redevelopment Agency board, made up of the five city commissioners. On Monday they approved making Bayview Market eligible for a 50% tax rebate once completed, totaling up to $20 million.
This is the first tax rebate development agreement the agency has signed with a local developer, said Community Redevelopment Agency Executive Director Jim Villacorta.
Mr. Garcia Du-Quesne is committing to build up to 535,000 square feet of retail and office space and 1,200 to 2,160 parking spots on 7.35 acres at Northeast Second Avenue and 17th Street.
The retail component is to bring big-box retailers and a supermarket to the neighborhood, including a long-announced tenant, home improvement giant Lowe's. The retailer is to occupy 135,000 square feet.
Mr. Garcia Du-Quesne said other tenants are to be revealed after groundbreaking.
The project's financing is in place, he said, adding that the next step is to finish construction documents, which is to take six to eight months.
Construction is to begin in the first quarter of 2010 and take about 18 months, he said, adding that once complete, the project's value will rise to $200 million.
With the tax increment financing arrangement, once the development is built — reaching an investment of $110 million — and 380 jobs are created, the redevelopment agency rebates the developer 50% of tax increment funding, or TIF, generated above the base year, Mr. Villacorta said.
The redevelopment agency is funded by capping the taxable value of real property in the area and collecting the tax increment above the cap as property values rise.
"It's to promote development, to encourage developers to get projects done quickly to get them on the tax roll," he said. "We are not giving them money up front. If they don't build, they don't get anything."
If the promised investment and jobs goal aren't met, the rebate would be proportionally reduced.
"We don't get any advantage out of the taxes until we have a finished product," Mr. Garcia Du-Quesne said. "We are committed to invest a minimum of $110 million of our capital before we get funding out of the tax increment program."
The 800-plus job creation will also have an economic effect in the emerging district, he said.
"We'll have a ripple effect on the surrounding properties and it will be a catalyst for additional development in the immediate area," he predicted.
If Bayview Market is not completed by 2015, Mr. Villacorta said, the tax rebate the developer is eligible for drops, and if not completed by 2017, the agreement would be canceled.

Q: Performing a JOIN with an ORDER BY and LIMIT in the joined table in SQL/Postgres I have a table of companies and a table of transcripts that are related to those companies — many-to-one.
I want to be able to list companies that have not been checked recently AND do not have transcripts published recently.
The problem I'm running into is when I join the tables, I can't figure out how to only limit the second condition to the most recent transcript. My query is unintentionally returning companies that have recent transcripts if it detects a transcript that is older.

Desired Logic

*

*Select company.ids

*Where company.last_checked_at is older than 1 week from today

*And only the most recent related transcript.published_at is older than 3 months from today

Expected Behavior
Using the data in the tables above:

*

*Result does not contain ACME since it was last_checked_at within 7 days of today

*Result does not contain MeepMeep even though last_checked_at is greater than 7 days, since the most recent transcript was published_at within 3 months of today

*Result DOES contain TNT since last_checked_at is greater than 7 days and the most recent transcript was published_at greater than 3 months of today

Attempts
SELECT * FROM summaries s LEFT OUTER JOIN companies c ON s.company = c.id WHERE s.published_at < now() - INTERVAL '3 months' ORDER BY s.published_at ASC limit 1

A: We can try using DISTINCT ON on the transcripts table:
WITH cte AS (
    SELECT DISTINCT ON (company) *
    FROM summaries
    WHERE published_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '3 months'
    ORDER BY company, published_at DESC
)

SELECT c.name, c.last_checked_at, s.published_at
FROM companies c
INNER JOIN cte s
    ON s.company = c.id
WHERE c.last_checked_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '1 week';

The Canterbury Bankstown Football Club is a soccer club based in Bankstown, New South Wales.

The club currently plays in the NSW League Two after being relegated from the formerly NPL NSW 2 in 2019.(from 2022 known as NSW League One)
Canterbury Bankstown hosts matches at The Crest Reserve in Bass Hill, Sydney.

History
They were one of the first football clubs formed in Sydney and competed in the first ever New South Wales State League as Canterbury FC, the club has also been known as Canterbury-Marrickville Olympic and West Sydney Berries; the "Berry" part of the name derives from Canter-"bury." Since that time, the club has enjoyed some years of success and also painful years of premiership droughts and grand final losses. The club played in the 1986 season of the National Soccer League.

Having been one of the bigger and more successful district clubs in Sydney, by the mid-1960s the club found itself in severe financial strife. A group of influential and disgruntled Pan-Hellenic (Sydney Olympic) members and supporters decided because of various disputes to leave and enquired about investing in the club. It was all agreed that Canterbury would sell a controlling stake of the club to this group of investors, who wanted to form the basis of a 2nd big Greek soccer club in Sydney to challenge Pan-Hellenic, later to be known as Canterbury-Marrickville Olympic Soccer Club.

In the mid-2000s the club had changed its name from Canterbury-Marrickville Olympic to West Sydney Berries to increase its appeal across South-western Sydney. It was the first time in the club's history club played without Canterbury in its name except for the period when they were known solely as Marrickville Olympic during the late 70's early 80's.

The club was chosen by Football NSW to be automatically promoted along with Macarthur Rams to the NSW Premier League for the 2008 NSWPL Season. The main reason for the club's inclusion was to strengthen football's presence in Western Sydney and also to have a starting post for a possible Western Sydney franchise in the A-League. The team had an unsuccessful return to the top-flight league in New South Wales. The team managed a lowly 10th place and narrowly escaped relegation from the NSW Premier League. In July 2008 the West Sydney Berries announced they had raised more than $32.000 for the hospital at Westmead.

After finishing last in the 2010 NSW Premier League season the club was relegated to the NSW Super League for the 2011 season, and for the 2012 NSW Super League season was known as Bankstown Berries FC and has since been renamed Canterbury Bankstown FC.

Johnny Warren, after whom Australian football's greatest prize, the Johnny Warren Medal is named is the best known personality of the history of the club. Alongside John Watkiss he participated in the World Cup 1974 in Germany. Graham Arnold, Charlie Yankos, goalkeeper Ron Corry, Peter Katholos, John Watkiss and Zlatko Arambasic are also Australian internationals who originated in the ranks of the club. Austrian legend, the former SK Rapid Wien player Leo Baumgartner belonged to the team with the Warren brothers, Watkiss and Corry that defeated Sydney FC Prague in the NSW grand-final of 1960 5–2.

As I write this poem, I am listening to an ongoing spring blizzard that has delivered over seven inches of snow, so far today. We expect another five to seven inches before the storm ends. The tulips and daffodils long since emerged from the warm, damp grown. I am trusting the new snow to protect them from the wind and icy rains still to come.
I have looked at photos from previous years, and April snows are not that unexpected. Still, it is strange to be confined to house and outbuildings by snow drifts, when at the beginning of the week, I was outside barefoot and without a jacket.

2011 BMW 3-series / 328i / 335i / 335is Coupe and Convertible
BMW fiddles with its masterpiece without messing it up.
Steve Siler
There are cars we like, and then there are cars we love. Cars we like get good reviews. Cars we love win 10Best awards. After awarding 10Best trophies to the BMW 3-series for the last 19 years in a row, it's clear that we're in love, even through multiple generations and model changes. Of course, every change made to the 3 could upset, or even destroy, its unique balance of attributes. Fortunately, BMW has controlled the pace of 3-series evolution, and the regular but subtle styling updates and the phasing in of new technologies have never diluted the driving experience for which the model's known.
The sedan and wagon models underwent mid-cycle refreshes for 2009, getting off easy with just a tasteful cosmetic nip/tuck and nearly no other changes. Now BMW has released images and info on the face-lifted 2011 3-series coupe and convertible, which involve not just new looks, but also the 335i swapping its awesome twin-turbo motor for one with just one turbo.
Carefully Honed Package
While all of today's 3-series variants are clearly related, the low-slung coupe and convertible models do not share many exterior pieces with their more upright four-door siblings. And for 2011, the two- and four-door 3-series grow even further apart visually. Up front, the nose has been smoothed and appears lower and wider, thanks to larger apertures for the trademark kidney grille and bigger bi-xenon headlamps. Replacing the current trio of lower air intakes is a squared-off, full-width opening with outboard fog lamps and a pair of horizontal chrome blades that, frankly, might have been better left in the knife drawer. Considering how sharp the current coupe's front end is, we're not quite ready to embrace the 2011's newfound bluntness as an improvement, although we do look forward to staring down some Audis with the Bimmers' bright new LED "angel eyes."
The rear end also adopts slick LED lighting, as well as a new bumper, although the bumper is more sculpted, not less. New rocker panels and side mirrors round out the exterior changes. The nose job and butt lift add roughly an inch and a half of overall length, rendering the 2011 coupe and convertible the longest 3-series models ever, measuring about three and a half inches longer than the sedan.
Inside, the 2011 models bear no changes of consequence, other than newly designed (and still-optional) steering-wheel shift paddles for models equipped with automatic transmissions. iDrive remains optional, not standard. Given how well-executed the intimate cabin of the 3-series is, no news is good news.
335i: Same Thrills, Less Guilt
Mechanically, the entry-level 328i coupes and convertibles are carry-overs, with their shared 3.0-liter inline-six continuing to serve up 230 hp at 6500 rpm and 200 lb-ft of torque at 2750 rpm. Here again, no news is fine: there are few roads on which the 328i can't put a smile on the driver's face, and the willing engine is effortless in its power delivery. Fuel economy shouldn't change from the 18 mpg city and 28 mpg highway ratings (the heavier convertibles return slightly less) of the 2010 model, regardless of transmission choice.
Bigger changes, however, were made to the zesty 335i and its sweet, turbocharged BMW six. Introduced just over three years ago, the prodigious and velvety N54 still ranks among the engines we'd deem least in need of improvement. But with an eye on rising emissions and fuel-economy mandates around the world, BMW designed the new N55, dismissing the tag-team turbos in favor a single, twin-scroll turbocharger that BMW claims is even quicker to spool than the twin setup. The N55 also features BMW's Valvetronic variable valve timing and lift system. Thus endowed and aided by direct injection, the all-aluminum N55 matches the N54's 300-hp output at the same 5800 rpm. The N55 engine also serves up the same 300 lb-ft of torque, but starts doing so 200 revs lower, at 1200 rpm, and max torque is on tap all the way through 5000 rpm. Redline is 7000 rpm. The 335i sedan also will switch to the N55 as soon as production of the 2011 coupes begins.
More Choices than Ever
As with the 328i, the 2011 335i will be offered with a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmissions. (Sadly, BMW won't offer the 3er with an N55/eight-speed automatic combo, as is planned for the upcoming 535i GT.) But BMW will continue to make xDrive all-wheel drive available on all 3-series coupes. No matter the transmission or to how many wheels the power is delivered, every 335i promises to be plenty quick: BMW estimates that the manual-equipped rear-wheel-drive 335i coupe can accelerate to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds, with the droptop requiring 5.5 seconds. Add another 0.2 second to each time for the automatics. Even quicker is the xDrive-equipped 335i coupe, which overcomes all-wheel drive's inherent weight penalty and hustles to 60 in a claimed 5.2 seconds in manual form and 5.3 with the auto. Those stats seem conservative to us, as we've repeatedly seen high fours from 335i coupes in the past. We expect to squeeze similar numbers from the 2011 model.
So after all that reengineering, how much fuel will be saved? Disappointingly, BMW had no specifics, saying only that the N55 indeed is both cleaner-burning and more fuel-efficient than its predecessor. And the N54 was no carbon bigfoot itself, with the 335i coupe's competitive city/highway rating of 17/26 mpg placing it only 1 or 2 mpg down from the naturally aspirated 328i. A significant improvement in fuel economy for the 335i, then, could virtually erase any fuel-economy advantage currently held by the 328i. That's right, now there's one fewer reason not to get the fast one.
2011 335is: Another Promising 3
If it's still hard to fathom how BMW can make so many changes to the 335i's engine without finding even one additional horsepower, a second turbo'd inline-six is planned for the upcoming 335is coupe and convertible, which share many of their performance-enhancing components with the new Z4 sDrive35is. Wrapped in the new body but powered by a pumped-up version of the N54 (twin-turbo) with about 320 hp, the 335is is rumored to get sporty body adornments, a choice of seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual or six-speed manual transmissions, and steering and chassis hardware mods. Complete details on this sportiest of all non-M 3-series are days away, so check back soon for details.
Another Happy Ending?
Pricing for the 2011 328i and 335i coupes and convertibles remains a secret, but given the subtlety of the changes, we don't expect a huge increase when they hit U.S. roads this March. (Non-M 2010 coupes currently base from $37,075 to $45,425; convertibles from $45,875 to $52,075.) As we said, we're always wary of any changes to the awesome 3-series, but if history is anything to go by, we probably know how the story is going to end: another 10Best award.

Is The Biden Administration About To Make The Border Crisis Worse?
By: John Daniel Davidson
Facing an ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, the Biden administration is on the verge of making a very bad situation worse.
Travel restrictions that have been in place since the onset of the pandemic are set to expire next week. If they do, it means U.S. borders will open up to nonessential travel, reviving cross-border traffic at U.S. ports of entry along the southwest border.
In normal times, that would be a good thing. The economies of border communities that depend on cross-border travel and commerce, especially those in Texas, have suffered greatly as a result of these travel restrictions. But these are not normal times, and opening the border now, amid near-record levels of illegal immigration, could be a recipe for disaster.
Simply put, the federal agencies charged with policing the border are overwhelmed, and have been for months. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which manages the ports of entry and is charged with processing and transporting anyone caught crossing the border illegally, has had to divert its attention from the ports of entry to help deal with soaring numbers of families and unaccompanied children apprehended by Border Patrol and placed in CBP custody.
Indeed, the Biden administration was so overwhelmed with the volume of minors in federal custody in March, it called for volunteers from across the federal government to help process kids at the border and assist overwhelmed CBP officers in overcrowded border facilities. Even now, thousands of migrant children languish in unlicensed and often dangerous emergency shelters that the Biden administration authorized after revoking a host of Trump-era border restrictions.
One of the only Trump-era restrictions Biden retained is the authority to expel migrants under what's called Title 42, a public health order Trump invoked in the earlier days of the pandemic to prevent the spread of coronavirus in federal border facilities and among federal border officials. Under Trump, the vast majority of all illegal border-crossers, including families, were expelled back to Mexico, where those seeking asylum in the United States were required to wait for the adjudication of their cases under the Remain in Mexico policy.
Biden ended that policy but kept part of the Title 42 authority in place, which has allowed for the rapid expulsion of most single adults apprehended at the border since Biden took office in January. If Title 42 is scrapped as part of the lifting of travel restrictions, it will likely trigger a new and even larger surge in illegal immigration. One CBP official told CNN earlier this month, "We don't have the manpower, and that is the reality."
How bad is the border crisis right now? One indication that it's getting worse is that the corporate press has largely stopped covering it. Another is that two weeks into July, CBP still has not released the border numbers for June. There's no good reason for this, unless border authorities are so overwhelmed they haven't been able to process the people they've apprehended or run basic background checks on them.
More likely, the Biden administration doesn't want the numbers to come out for political reasons. In May, federal authorities made more than 180,000 apprehensions at the southwest border, a record for that month. All told this fiscal year, excluding June, border apprehensions have nearly exceeded 930,000 — a 20-year high.
Where are the June border numbers? @CBP should have released them by now. No June data by now (2 weeks into July) means either that the border is so overwhelmed they can't process and log those they have apprehended, or that the Biden admin is hiding the data on purpose.

Indeed, politics has largely driven Biden's response to a crisis of his own making. This week, Cuban-born Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas seized on widespread protests against the communist regime in Cuba to threaten Cubans with deportation if they try to flee to the United States by sea.
"Allow me to be clear. If you take to the sea, you will not come to the United States," Alejandro Mayorkas said Tuesday. "The time is never right to attempt migration by sea. To those who risk their lives doing so, this risk is not worth taking."
This is a cowardly and politically motivated line from Mayorkas, whose own family came to the United States decades ago fleeing the very same communist regime. The only reason to make such a statement now, it seems, is to appear conciliatory toward the communists who control Cuba.
DHS Secretary @AliMayorkas threatens fleeing Cuban refugees: "Allow me to be clear, if you take to the sea, you will not come to the United States … Again, I repeat, do not risk your life attempting to enter the United States illegally. You will not come to the United States." pic.twitter.com/gSsLbbCuSH
— Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) July 14, 2021
What's more, of all the tens of thousands of people illegally crossing the border each month and claiming asylum in the United StatesCubans fleeing the communist dictatorship have among the best claims for asylum. And large numbers of Cubans have been doing just that for months now. As of May, more than 23,000 Cubans have been apprehended by CBP so far this fiscal year, with more than 2,700 apprehended in May alone (compared to just 539 in May of 2020).
But the way Biden's border policies might be shaking out, Cubans apprehended at sea would be turned away, while Cubans who walk across the border from Mexico would be allowed to stay and pursue their asylum claims in the United States.
All of it speaks to the Biden administration's haphazard, disorganized, and blatantly political approach to managing an increasingly chaotic border, which is about to get worse.

Q: Text is readable in document photo I'm developing an Flutter application where I have to validate if the document photo text is readable (at least in majority). I have been searching different packages and plugins no one is useful. All the packages related with my searching parse the text of the photo to string, but it's not what I need to do. Someone know how can I do that?

A: You can use ABBYY Mobile Web Capture, a fully cross-platform solution for OCR (this includes checking image readability). However, you would need to perform all platform integrations on your own. Pros: fast to run on a mobile device, does not require internet connection. Cons: a lot of coding. Might cost you months.
Alternatively, you can use ABBYY Cloud OCR SDK, which does the following:

*

*You upload your image to ABBYY Cloud Server

*Cloud Server recognizes it all

*You check recognition confidence and count of non-alphanumeric characters (such as #, ^, &). If this exceeds a certain level (say, 20%), then you can be certain that the image is not so good.

Pros: 10-20 lines of code. Cons: Does not work without an Internet connection, requires a few seconds to post the data and get the result.


Ceramic tile art or azulejo in Lisbon.
An eventful and stressful, exciting and hectic period has come to an end. My move into a new apartment with my girlfriend was completed not very long before we had to prepare to head off on a two-week journey to Lisbon and Barcelona.
The European trip was magnificent in every way. Lisbon is one of the coolest cities I've ever been to and Barcelona is a lively metropolis punctuated by exquisite architectural masterpieces from Antoni Gaudi.
We walked over 110 miles during our two-week adventure, wandering and exploring both cities each day from sunrise to sundown and collapsing from exhaustion at the end of each day. We saw everything, though. Or at least as much as one can see in one city in one week. Every night I went to bed with images of colorful art or vast cathedrals or panoramic city perspectives in my mind's eye. Still soaking in all the things we saw. Getting back into the daily routine so quickly, the whole thing feels like it was just a dream.
I'm planning on writing up a lengthy post (or probably series of posts) about the trip featuring some of the many hundreds of pictures I took, but for now I just need to say: I'm back. And despite the new challenge of working the full-time 9-to-5 grind like a regular boring old adult, I plan on putting my nose to the grind to churn out as much writing as I can in my free moments. Too many ideas growing in my mind that need to breathe fully.
If you haven't already, please go check out my other blog where I've got a new post about the 75th anniversary of Finnegans Wake as well as an ongoing in-depth review of John Bishop's stupendously deep and fascinating Wake study Joyce's Book of the Dark.

Mind responds to emergency food parcels given out by the Trussell Trust increasing by 19% in the last year
Emergency food parcels given out by the Trussell Trust increased by 19% in the last year
Thursday, 25 April 2019 Mind
New figures from the Trussell Trust show that the number of emergency food parcels their network has given out to people in the past year has increased by almost 19 per cent, on the previous year. Around half of referrals to foodbanks (49 per cent) were linked to delays in Universal Credit payments.
Responding to the data, Ayaz Manji, Senior Policy and Campaigns Officer at Mind says:
"It's appalling to see the huge increase in people depending on food parcels because they can't afford to pay for essentials themselves. Every year 300,000 people fall out of work as a result of a mental health problem and many will need support from the benefits system to help stay afloat. Our social security system should be helping people live independently and keeping people out of poverty."The Government must involve others including charities and people who need financial support to improve our benefits system, making sure it works for everyone who needs financial security, including those of us experiencing mental health problems.
"We urgently need to see the Government fix the problems with Universal Credit. That includes making sure that no-one is left without income while waiting for their first payment, or when they move from other benefits onto Universal Credit."

Home :: FAQ
Q. What plastic thickness can be moulded using rotational moulding?
A. Large capacity tanks have been moulded up to 25mm wall thickness, but for most applications a wall thickness of 4-6mm is considered normal.
Q. What colours can I have my rotationally moulded product made?
A. We have a standard range of colours suitable for most applications available from our suppliers. Should a specific colour be required we can have this formulated, however there are minimum batch sizes required. Please enquire with us should you require a special match.
Q. What types of plastics can be rotationally moulded?
More than 80% of the materials used for rotational moulding are from the polyethylene family. Other materials include polypropylene and Nylon however these can are typically much more expensive than the polyethylene grades.
Q. How much do moulds cost?
A. The costs of moulds vary depending on the size and complexity of the final component. Generally moulds for rotational moulding are much less than blow moulding and injection moulding.
Q. How many products can I make off one mould?
A. The life expectancy of mould depends on the quality of the mould, welds and the gauge of the metal used. We have produced many thousands of products from some of our moulds without the need for rebuilding of refurbishment.
Q. What are the minimum and maximum sizes of a mould?
A. We have numerous machines with the capability to produce parts from a little as 0.5L capacity up to approximately 5200L capacity.
Q. What are the maximum temperatures that a rotationally moulded product can withstand?
A. This depends on the type of material used to produce the part from and also depends on other factors such as the amount of time it is exposed to heat, and any pressure the part may be subjected to. As a guide however, polyethylene is suitable to approximately 60°C and approximately 100°C for polypropylene.
Q. How long will my rotationally moulded product last?
A. This can vary and is dependent on the application it is being used in, however due to the resilience and strength of rotationally moulded products some could last over 40 years.
Q. Can my product be recycled?
A. The polyethylene material used for producing rotationally moulded parts can be recycled and used for making into other moulded items.
Q. How do I go about making a design for a new product?
A. We have over 35 years' experience producing rotationally moulded products. We are happy to work with you from the initial concept through to the final design. We can manage the whole process of product drawings, mould manufacture, trialling and final production. Talk to us today about your requirements.
Q. Can I have flat surfaces on my product?
A. It is difficult to produce large flat surfaces on rotationally moulded parts. Distortion during the cooling process and shrinkage are common and difficult to eliminate. These effects can be reduced with the use of jigs, but it is advisable to avoid large flat areas during the design process. This can be achieved with the use of ribs to reduce the size of the flat area. We can assist with recommendations during the design process.

I have a 95 lude with an H23. I bought it in the condition itsin for 300. This clip shows the sound it makes when trying to start it.
its a 5spd as well.
It is not turning the motor, it sounds like it is hitting some teeth on the flywheel, or just free wheeling.
Take the starter off and see if it working properly (many auto-part stores do this for free, AKA advance auto). Also inspect the flywheel for missing/overly worn teeth. This can be done by taking a shield off and hand turning the crank or looking threw the timing hole in the front side of the trans, the thing with the rubber cap.
Also can it be push started?

I dont think i can push start it since when i push the clutch in it just stays at the floor.
Do you have any clutch fluid in the reservoir, and do you see any leaks from the slave cylinder or clutch master cylinder?
Take the spark plugs out and try to rotate the crank via pulley counterclockwise (do not rotate it clockwise, it can mess up the tensioner), it should rotate with some resistance with the plugs out, if not then it is most likely seized.

Q: Include a lstlistings keyword in lstlistings caption I'm writing a small summary for my fellow students about VB in LaTeX. I have to cover the basic loops and found the \lstlistnigs package to be the best for writing colored code. I have already added some keywords that are not included directly in the package.

In my previous post, I did something I never thought I would do: I reblogged.
I will justify it by saying that I found something that really appealed to me: a nifty newspaper clipping generator! It creates a facsimile of a newspaper article using your very own story. This is a great fresh idea for language teaching.
I thought I would try it out for myself.
At the prompt, "Enter your story", I wondered what I would write. Then I remembered that I had a file saved somewhere called "chapter something". So, bent on entering an instant story, I found the file, copied and pasted, and chopped a few bits out. The resultant clipping did not manage to capture all the words. Not very satisfactory, if you want closure on what you read.
I had to find something short. A very short story. I went to one of my very early blogs, and found one. I fiddled about for a bit, and finally got it down to 160 words, which fitted into the two columns perfectly. More importantly, it is a story – with a beginning, a middle, and an end!
I think I shall have to use the newspaper clipping generator to get rid of unnecessary guff more often. Taken to the point of absurdity, of course, this may result in a five-page novel. Good. Less ink!
That does sound like a good idea, I will have to follow your link and give it a go.
I'll figure out that text widget too.
Okay, that clarity, that is the spec your trained eye doesn't miss.
You're friend it now on twitter. Hope she writes more.

Shall the City extend the half percent (1/2%) transactions and use tax to continue to preserve funding for essential city services such as SFPD, LAFD and SFPW; street repairs, park beautification, and other public works infrastructure projects; cultural and recreational programs; economic development; staffing recruitment, retention and wages; restoration of the City's emergency "rainy day" fund; and other unrestricted general revenue purposes until voters decide to end it?
If approved by a simple majority (50% plus 1) of votes cast at the City of San Fernando ("City") General Municipal Election of November 6, 2018, the San Fernando Preservation and Beautification Measure (the "Measure") would extend the City's existing one half of one percent (1/2%) transactions (sales) and use tax indefinitely. This tax was first approved by San Fernando voters at a Special Election held in June of 2013 and is currently set to expire following September 30, 2020.
COLLECTION: The half-percent transactions and use tax is paid in addition to the existing County-wide sales tax on sales of tangible goods and is collected at the same time and in much the same manner as the existing sales tax. The tax adds approximately 50¢ to a retail purchase of $100 or a half-penny to a purchase of $1.00. With the exception of those items that are exempted from the tax, the tax applies to most over-the-counter sales of tangible goods and to restaurant sales. For purchases of big-ticket items (e.g., appliances and furniture), the tax would apply only if the item is delivered by the seller to a San Fernando address from a point of sale located within or outside of the City of San Fernando. For automobile sales, the tax would apply only if the vehicle purchased was registered to a San Fernando address, regardless of whether the vehicle was purchased from a dealership located in or outside of the City.
EXEMPTIONS: The tax does not apply to purchases of prescription medication nor does it apply to most basic grocery store food purchases for items like milk, meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, cereals, coffee, sugar, baby food, bread and other bakery products, nuts, condiments, candy, juices, bottled water and the like.
USES: The tax is a "general tax" per Proposition 218 and as such its proceeds may be used for any public or governmental purpose, including, but not limited to, police and emergency response services; the construction, maintenance and repair of City infrastructure, including streets, sidewalks and parks; cultural and recreational programming; staffing retention and recruitment; economic development efforts; restoration of the City's emergency "rainy day" fund and other unrestricted general revenue purposes.
NON-RESIDENTS PAY: Non-residents will continue to share in paying the tax for most over-the-counter retail purchases thereby helping to pay for their use of the City's streets and other infrastructure.
OVERSIGHT: The Measure will continue to require the annual preparation of a publicly available report that tells how much revenue was collected under the tax and how those monies were used.
In 2013, San Fernando was on the brink of bankruptcy and had a $5,700,000 General Fund deficit. The City's workforce lost 32 positions, including 6 Police Officers that keep San Fernando safe and 13 Public Works staff that keep San Fernando clean. As a result, voters approved a ½ cent local sales tax, which expires in 2020.
Now, the General Fund deficit is less than $1,000,000 and is on track to be eliminated within a year, 10 police vehicles have been replaced, more than 5 miles of streets have been resurfaced, 43,000 square feet of sidewalks have been replaced, Brand Boulevard was beautified to create a notable entrance to the City, and a number of recreation programs have been expanded, including the Dia de los Muertos 5k run, Open Streets Festival, and JAM Sessions.
– Attracting unique and top notch entertainment, retail and restaurants.
– Increasing the number of Police Officers patrolling the streets.
– Increasing field operations to keep San Fernando clean.
– Enhancing the annual residential street resurfacing paving program to touch every street in San Fernando on a 10-year cycle.
– Repairing, replacing and maintaining San Fernando's playground and exercise equipment, tot lots, sports fields, and park lighting.
– Establishing a "rainy day" fund.
If the local sales tax is not extended, the City will lose $2,500,000 per year and will again be living "paycheck to paycheck." Based on current estimates, the City will be unable to pave streets, repair recreation facilities, or replace vehicles and equipment with any regularity unless a new revenue source is identified.
We urge a "Yes" vote to protect the future of San Fernando and the services essential to the vitality of our community.

ALL-STAR DANCING WITH THE STARS SA
Get ready to be blown away by one of the world's biggest competition series because the complete cast of 12 untrained local celebrities for the first season of M-Net's big new reality show, Dancing With The Stars South Africa, has been revealed.
M-Net confirmed today that popular actor and model Eden Classens, comedian Ebenhaezer Dibakwane and South African Netball player Vanes-Mari du Toit will be joining the nine other famous faces on the dance floor of this exciting new series!
Classens, a model and popular actor, plays the role of Justin in the hit Afrikaans soap Suidooster on kykNET. Born and bred in Johannesburg, Eden moved to New York City to study Musical Theatre and Acting at the prestigious New York Film Academy where he trained under acclaimed Broadway Casting Director VP Boyle, before returning to local shores. He has done various short films, played the lead role in the Afrikaans film Rowwe Diamante and starred in the true-life drama film Reload. This heartthrob also recently had the opportunity to work on the American film Revolt, with the likes of Lee Pace and Berenice Mahone. "I am absolutely ecstatic to be a part of this experience," Classens raves. "I'm excited by this challenge and am here to dance my heart out and have fun!"
Next to grace the gleaming dance floor is funny man Ebenhaezer Dibakwane, a South African comedian and actor who rose to fame after winning the Newcomer Award at the Savanna Comic's Choice Awards in 2016. Dibakwane is best known for lighting up the local comedy scene, with his highlights being opening for Dillan Oliphant, being part of the Stand Up 4 Comedy ensemble alongside Mo Mathebe and Virgil Prins and being billed on the line up for Blacks Only and the Comedy Central International Comedy Festival alongside Trevor Noah and other South African household names. The talented comedian can also be seen on the theatre scene, having acted in theatre productions such as Marat/Sade, A Beautiful Thing, The Crucible, Horror Story and 24 Hours in the City. In the television space, he has featured in the soapie Ashes to Ashes and was a presenter on Walala Wasala, amongst others. Most recently, he has been cast in the sitcom Thuli noThulanli. "These are exciting times for me! I can't wait to dance, baby - into people's homes, memories and hearts," he revealed.
The final celebrity gearing up for all the glitz is netball star Vanes-Mari Du Toit. She is a player on the South African National Netball team and has an impressive 38 caps for South Africa under her belt, playing in positions such as Goal Shooter, Goal Keeper and Goal Attack. In October 2012, she travelled with the Proteas to Australia & New Zealand to participate in the Quad Series tournament, where she became a household name with an impressive performance against the Silver Ferns. She is thrilled about her participation in the series, and can't wait to get started: "I'm as excited as a kid on Christmas morning to be a part of Dancing With The Stars SA! It's going to be a tough challenge, but I'm so ready to learn how to dance." These days, du Toit spends her time as a netball analyst, presenter and commentator on SuperSport, while also coaching around the country. Late last year she married Matthew Proudfoot, assistant coach for the Springboks.
Eden, Ebenhaezer and Vanes-Mari will be vying for South Africa's hearts and votes alongside their fellow famous faces on the gleaming new dance floor. They are:
-Mzansi's best TV presenter, former Our Perfect Wedding host, actress and DJ Thembisa Mdoda, who clinched the coveted title of Best TV Presenter at the 2017 DStv Mzansi Viewers' Choice Awards;
- Veteran South African actor Frank Opperman, who turned a slow-witted but witty car mechanic called Ouboet into a darling South African icon and created an array of unforgettable, colourful characters throughout his illustrious career;
- Actress and performer, Juanita du Plessis, best known for her theatre work and acting roles in movies such as Knysna, Somer Son, Die Pro, Willie Esterhuizen's Droomdag, Die Ontwaking and kykNET's new movie, Hartsorg;
- Former Miss SA Liesl Laurie, who is a presenter on popular radio station Jacaranda FM, and is the international brand ambassador of L'Oreal - Vichy Laboratoires in SA, USA and Brazil;
- Wayde van Niekerk's mother, Odessa Swarts, who was lauded for lighting up the South African athletics world and broke many sporting records - having competed provincially as a track-and-field athlete in the late 1980s and early 1990s;
- Film and TV starlet Zola Nombona who won the 2016 Golden Horn Award for best lead actress for her work in the movie Ingoma. Nombona is also well known for her roles in several TV series such as Intersexions Lockdown, iNumber iNumber, and Love Lives Here;
- Singer-songwriter Connell Cruise, who signed the biggest recording deal in South African music history after being spotted by music legend L.A Reid;
- Former Bafana Bafana soccer star Delron Buckley who played in the 1998 and 2002 World Cups and represented SA in the 2000 Sydney Olympic games;
- Former Springbok Thando Manana, best known for being the third black South African player to don a Springbok jersey. He now spends his time as a rugby commentator, pundit and member of the infamous Room Dividers team on Metro FM.
Dancing With The Stars SA, in which 12 untrained local celebrities will put their best foot forward with the help of highly skilled professional Latin and Ballroom dancers, will commence on M-Net channel 101 on February 4, 2018.
The series is produced for M-Net by Rapid Blue and is sponsored by Lottostar.

Investigation: Ohio background check system unreliable
COLUMBUS – Ohio's computerized background check system has been flawed and unreliable for years, often failing to provide accurate information about convicted felons, according to an investigation by The Columbus Dispatch and WBNS-TV.
The fingerprint-based system operated by the Bureau of Criminal Investigation in the office of Attorney General Mike DeWine has wrongly indicated that thousands of criminals have clean records.
A review of thousands of pages of records by The Dispatch and WBNS revealed ongoing problems with the 15-year-old system that is used for more than 1.3 million checks every year.
Thousands of intertwined criminal-conviction and fingerprint records with processing errors have hung in limbo in the system for months at a time while records of convictions don't arrive promptly or at all, according to the media outlets.
Police officers and employers rely daily on the criminal background-check system that DeWine describes as "critical for the safety of Ohio families."
The system is used to vet school teachers, foster parents, medical professionals, police officers, firefighters, day-care and nursing home workers and gun owners seeking concealed-carry permits, among many others.
If the system doesn't work, felons can be hired for jobs they should not have landed, police officers might not know they just stopped a person with a history of violence, and ex-convicts could be approved to carry handguns.
State officials say the problems are leading them to crack down on the system contractor and buy a multi-million-dollar replacement.
"We inherited kind of a Model T (information technology) system," DeWine said, adding that the system has required constant upgrades. "Going back years and years, nothing had been done, really, to bring it up to date."
DeWine likens the challenge of fixing the background-check system to changing an engine in an airplane while it is flying.
"We're better than we were," he said.
Ohio's criminal-history system is tied to fingerprints submitted by police agencies and courts after people are convicted of crimes. Private-sector and government employers also submit fingerprints to learn whether would-be employees have records.


Actor Johnny Depp and wife Amber Heard have issued an Academy Award-winning apology to Australia for smuggling their pet dogs in the country last year.
The Agriculture Minister of Australia sentenced the couple's dogs, Pistol and Boo, to death after they were brought in illegally by private jet.
Depp also faced 10 years in jail, but apparently, all Australia wanted was an apology.
Australia has very strict biosecurity laws to protect the health of our people, animals and plants. Everyone entering the country must truthfully declare if they are carrying any items listed on the Incoming Passenger Card.
This is the best apology ever. OMG I love Johnny Depp so much right now.
