With DeMar DeRozan, Rudy Gay and Patty Mills now calling other NBA locales home, the Spurs threw themselves headlong into a youth-centered rebuild this offseason.
Win or lose, the Spurs were going to do it with young players who might be short on NBA experience and accolades but not lacking in hunger.
The first test of that roster remake proved promising Monday, as the Spurs steamrolled to a 111-85 victory over Utah at the AT&T Center that looked like nothing out of last season's playbook.
Let's get the usual caveats out of the way first. Yes, it was only one preseason game.
Yes, the Jazz played without four rotation players in All-Star center Rudy Gobert, Joe Ingles, Bojan Bogdanovic and the aforementioned Gay.
Still, for a Spurs squad looking to find itself and an identity, smacking around a team like the short-handed Jazz is a better confidence booster than the alternative.
Here are three takeaways from the Spurs' optimism-inducing win on the first night of the preseason:
It's the 3-and-D plan
The Spurs got a lot done Monday with their defensive activity, holding the Jazz to 38 points in the first half and to fewer than 25 points in every quarter.
Spurs guards Dejounte Murray, Derrick White and Lonnie Walker took turns defending Utah star Donovan Mitchell, who was 5 of 19 from the floor.
That defensive mindset helped the Spurs weather a rough shooting start, especially from 3-point range.

The Spurs entered the season preaching a dedication to long distance. After serving as the least-prolific 3-point shooting team in the NBA last season, they vowed to make more of a focus beyond the arc.
Midway through the first quarter, the Spurs were on pace to shoot 40 3-pointers. Unfortunately, they had missed all five of their early attempts.
The Spurs' game-opening drought eventually got to 0-for-8, but a funny thing happened from there. They just kept shooting.
The Spurs eventually finished 12 of 34 from 3-point range Monday, which doesn't exactly make them last year's Utah Jazz but it was enough to beat the Jazz in a preseason game Monday.
That 12-of-34, incidentally, beats the Spurs' average for 3-pointers made and tried last season.
All in all, it was an encouraging start for the Spurs on both ends.
Smart money on Murray
This isn't much of a hot take, seeing as Murray ranked as the Spurs' second-leading scorer last season behind DeRozan.
DeRozan is in Chicago now, and it would not be surprising at all to see Murray step to the fore.
Murray ended Monday's game with 17 points in 21 minutes, matching rookie Josh Primo for team-high honors.

More on him later.
The Spurs this season are going to sink or swim on collective effort. They probably will not boast a 20-point per game scorer but will rather be a squad that shares the wealth.
Murray will have the ball in his hands, has developed a workable offensive repertoire and isn't afraid to use it.
The safe bet is on him taking the mantle as the Spurs' leading scorer.
Mere teenager stole show
Popovich played zero 30-somethings and neither of the team's draft picks in building a 49-38 halftime lead.
Up 20 in the third quarter, it was time to dust off Primo, selected 12th overall in this summer's draft.
The 18-year-old promptly went ballistic.
Primo played 18 minutes of the second half, exploding for 17 points. He hit 7 of 8 from the field, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range.
The only shot Primo missed barely rimmed out.
The first time Primo touched the ball, he dropped in a picture-perfect rainbow 3-pointer from the left corner. His next basket came on a nifty hesitation move that cleared space for a layup.
Not stopping there, Primo showed out on the defensive end as well, at one point welcoming fellow rookie Jared Butler to the NBA by erasing the Utah guard's shot attempt at the rim.
Popovich will be quick to point out that all of this came in the span of a single preseason game. Primo's teammates, however, were impressed with his composure — even as the AT&T Center crowd chanted his name.
It remains to be seen how much Primo will play once the games start to count. It would not be the least big shocking if he winds up spending a good chunk of time dominating the G League.
But Primo's coming-out party Monday was a sight to behold.

Women Resisting the Destruction of Rafah
Submitted by Editor on 5/24/2004
Gila Svirsky 5/24/2004
As most well-read people already know, the Israeli army has spent the last
five days battering and bludgeoning the inhabitants of a hot and dusty town
on the southern edge of the Gaza Strip, known as Rafah.
Also well known is the rally of 150,000 last Saturday night in Tel Aviv to
demand that Israel leave the Gaza Strip. Less well known, however, is the
frenzied activity of the Israeli peace movement to get the army to leave
Gaza in one piece to end the death and destruction as it seeks to save
face for the killing of 13 soldiers last week.
On Monday, a small group of women drove down from the north of Israel and
sought to enter Rafah from the closest military checkpoint, just 3 km east.
Rebuffed by the army, they pitched camp a short distance away, vowing not to
leave until the army does. I joined on Thursday and found 30-40 women, some
who had driven down from the north and others from nearby kibbutzim, who
kept them supplied with food and water and solved logistical problems.
Standing (and sitting) there, watching the tanks, armored personnel
carriers, helicopters, and busloads of soldiers move in and out of Rafah
and being unable to stop them was terribly frustrating. Drivers in
passing vehicles threw eggs, garbage, and curses at the group. Violence
will never bring peace, proclaimed one of our futile signs as dozens of
Rafah residents met a violent death while we vigiled. It was agonizing. A
decision was made to continue the protest in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
The photo (above) shows the three vigil initiators Hannah Safran of the
Coalition of Women for Peace and Lilly Traubman and Jessica Nevo of Bat
Shalom. Hannahs sign (closest to the camera) reads Sharon: Qibiya, Sabra,
Shatila, Jenin, Rafah, listing some of the known bloodbaths of our prime
minister, while Lillys (second closest) reads End the Occupation. For
more photos from this encampment, see
http://www.shutterfly.com/view/pictures.jsp?aid=67b0de21b3e9e5b1c4ff
[on site, click on View as a slide show to see the photos in full size].
Another new womens initiative is Shuvi: Women for Withdrawal from Gaza.
Dressed in black t-shirts with a yellow U-turn signal, Shuvi activists are
collecting 60,000 signatures on a letter demanding that Sharon implement the
disengagement plan that he promised, and get out.
On Friday (May 21), a large group of organizations (including Taayush, the
Coalition of Women for Peace, Yesh Gvul, Gush Shalom, and ICAHD) held a
dramatic demonstration at the Kissufim entrance to Gaza, through which most
of the settlers pass. Close to a thousand demonstrators made their way
there, many carrying black flags (see photo, left) to symbolize the black
flag of illegality that waves over some [military] orders, citing an
Israeli court judgment from the 1950s. At the end of the rally, many
demonstrators charged the checkpoint, which ended, of course, in
pandemonium: 8 were detained and many injured, but no one seriously (I
believe). Im sure there are better photos, but you can see mine at
http://www.shutterfly.com/view/pictures.jsp?aid=67b0de21b3e9e2ff051a
The agony and helplessness of last week was epitomized by the announcement
that women Members of Knesset from the left would be holding a demonstration
on Sunday opposite the Prime Ministers office to protest his actions in
Gaza. Do MKs have to resort to demonstrations to affect government
policies?!?
But the worst thing I saw at the various peace actions was poised just
beyond the entrance to Gaza at Kissufim 5 armored bulldozers (photo left).
Notice the drivers cabin and the blade, taller than the soldier walking
past it.
Maybe these were the bulldozers that demolished 62 homes in Rafah during the
previous two days [www.btselem.org.il]? Maybe one of these bulldozers
rolled over Rachel Corrie? Well never know, though whoever drove them
surely knows what he was up to, and must live with it.
But the devastation continues. This mornings Haaretz reports that
700-2,000 more Rafah homes may be destroyed in order to widen the buffer
zone with Egypt. Relief agencies report that food supplies are dwindling
and that potable water is scarce.
Hannah just called me to suggest the following: In every city, organize a
group (even 2-3 people will do) to bring food and water to the Israeli
embassy or consulate, demanding that it be delivered to Rafah. Make sure
that the media meet you there to cover the event. Explain to the media that
the Israeli armys assault on Rafah has caused a severe humanitarian crisis,
and you are calling upon Israel to deliver the supplies and end its brutal
campaign. You may also want to do this at US embassies (or Caterpillar
companies), since the United States funds the weapons that make this
possible (and Caterpillar sells the bulldozers).
The Israeli government is concerned about the international outcry, and just
announced that it will compensate the owners of demolished homes. Now we
have to get it to stop the demolitions.

Mutual Wills Create Constructive Trusts
In Breach of Trust, Contested Wills, Probate Litigation
Mutual wills as opposed to mirror wills, are not very common, but when they exist and breached, that breach creates a trust that can be used to trace the assets into the hands of third parties.
Mutual wills are not a good idea for estate planning purposes and should be avoided except in unique circumstances.
In order for the breach of trust to occur, there must firstly be a contract between the parties not to change their wills and to provide for the other as per the terms of the mutual wills.
The mutual wills are usually and should be accompanied by a written contract where the parties essentially contract with the other not to ever change the terms of the mutual wills that they are signing.
The overwhelming number of parties who do will providing for each other do NOT do mutual wills but instead do mirror wills.
What may occur after the death of the first party to the contract, the survivor as time goes on may change his or her will to benefit other parties that the estate of the first to die.
If the mutual will is properly executed and the breach of trust is proven to have occurred, the courts may award a constructive trust over the assets that should have formed part of the estate, and order that they are held in trust for the beneficiaries of the estate of first to diet
The authorities have consistently supported the proposition that a person cannot avoid a mutual will agreement by making dispositions of a testamentary nature.
Most authorities go further and support the proposition that a person cannot make any disposition intended to defeat the agreement, whether testamentary or not.
Barns v Barns [2003] HCA 9, at paras. 163-4; Flocas v Carlson [2015] VSC 221, at para. 192; Healey v Brown, [2002] EWHC 1405 (Ch), at paras. 13-14; Russo & Ors v Russo & Anor [2009] VSC 491, at para. 32; Youdan, T. G. "The Mutual Wills Doctrine" (1979) 29 U.T.L.J. 390, at 410-414; Oosterhoff, supra, at 140-142, 152-3; Croucher, supra, at 405
In the Australian case of Bigg v Queensland Trustees Ltd, [1990] 2 Qd R 11 as well as a number of Canadian cases that were decided before it, state that where a person has acted to his or her detriment in reliance on an agreement to make irrevocable mutual wills, the court will enforce the agreement against the first to die in the same way as the traditional doctrine enforces the agreement against the survivor.
In Bigg v Queensland, the plaintiff, Mr. Bigg, and his wife, Mrs. Bigg, executed irrevocable mutual wills, which left their estates to each other, and on the death of the survivor, all of the assets divided equally between their four children (each had two from a previous marriage).
Mrs. Bigg died first, after having secretly made several new wills, which essentially left Mr. Bigg with just a life estate. Not knowing that Mrs. Bigg had revoked the mutual will, and still believing that he would be the sole beneficiary of her estate, Mr. Bigg transferred some of his investments into Mrs. Bigg's name (for tax reasons).
After Mrs. Bigg's death, Mr. Bigg sued the estate, claiming that the executor held all of the estate assets in trust for Mr. Bigg, and damages for breach of contract in the alternative.
In his judgment, McPherson J. (Supreme Court of Brisbane) questioned the reasoning in Stone v. Hoskins, and ultimately held that equity could not allow Mrs. Bigg to secretly change her will, while permitting Mr. Bigg to continue acting to his prejudice on the assumption that their agreement was still in place. On that basis, the court declared that the defendant executor held Mrs. Bigg's net estate in trust for Mr. Bigg.

Making Sense of the Arizona SB 1070 Lawsuits
Arizona faces seven legal challenges to its SB immigration law — which is part of why the state needs the $3.6 million in donations it has pulled in to defend the law. The suits mostly have the same messages, alleging SB 1070 usurps federal immigration authority and could lead to racial profiling. They were filed between when Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed the bill into law April 23 and July 29, when the law went into effect with some of its controversial provisions blocked by a federal judge. The plaintiffs include individuals, police officers, civil rights and community groups, churches, business groups, entire cities and, of course, the Justice Department.
It can all get confusing. So here's a brief rundown of the lawsuits against SB 1070 and their current status:
The United States v. State of Arizona. The Justice Department filed a suit July 6 alleging SB 1070 preempts federal authority to enforce immigration. Federal Judge Susan Bolton blocked its most controversial provisions on July 28, just before the law went into effect. An appeals court in San Francisco will hear the case the week of Nov. 1.
Escobar v. Brewer. Martin Escobar, a naturalized U.S. citizen and police officer from Tuscon, Ariz., filed a lawsuit April 29 alleging SB 1070 would violate the civil rights of Latinos. His case was dismissed Tuesday by Bolton.
However, the city of Tuscon was also a plaintiff in the case, and its case is still pending. Bolton gave the city two weeks to file a written argument convincing her not to dismiss its claim that SB 1070 imposes a financial burden on the city.
**Frisancho v. Brewer. **Roberto Frisancho, a resident of Washington, filed a suit April 27 arguing he could be racially profiled during an upcoming trip to Arizona. Bolton dismissed his claim Aug. 24.
-** Saldago v. Brewer.** David Saldago, an Arizona police officer, joined with non-profit Chicanos Por La Causa to file a suit April 29 against Brewer, arguing SB 1070 preempts federal law and would require him to violate the constitutional rights of others. Saldago's lawsuit is still pending.
**LULAC v. Arizona. **The League of United Latin American Citizens filed a lawsuit July 9 claiming SB 1070 would lead to racial profiling by police officers. The suit is still pending.
Friendly House et al. v. Whiting. A coalition of community service, labor, business and religious organizations, along with several individuals, filed a suit May 17. Bolton has yet to hear the case.
**National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders v. State of Arizona. **Non-profits joined with churches and individuals to file a suit April 29 on behalf of "all persons who currently reside in Arizona and find themselves to be negatively affected by the proposed unconstitutional law." The law is pending.

Who Else Really Wants To Understand Puerto Rican Girl?
Puerto Rico women are fun and remain positive and humorous regardless of how harsh their living conditions may be. If the parents of Puerto Rican bride are against the marriage they will find the ways to persuade her. So, it is better for you to be on good terms with her family. And you should do your best because the families are big there. And for these girls, not only the parents' advice matter. They also listen to the views of their aunts, uncles, siblings and other relatives.
At first, this will seem unusual, but with time, you will get used to these Italianesque mannerisms. Just 45 minutes away from Mayaguez on the west coast of Puerto Rico is Aguadilla. This small town of 50,000 people doesn't make it into many guide books. I stumbled upon this town after spending some time surfing in Rincon. I was tired, but had a few days before I needed to be in San Juan.
Where To Find Out Every thing There's To Know About Puerto Rican Women In 5 Basic Steps
From 1898 to 1917, many Puerto Rican women who wished to travel to the United States suffered discrimination. Such was the case of Isabel González, a young unwed pregnant woman who planned to join and marry the father of her unborn child in New York City. Her plans were derailed by the United States Treasury Department, when she was excluded as an alien "likely to become a public charge" upon her arrival to New York City. González challenged the Government of the United States in the groundbreaking case Gonzales v. Williams (192 U.S. 1 ). Her case was an appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York, filed February 27, 1903, after also having her Writ of Habeas Corpus (HC. 1–187) dismissed. Her Supreme Court case is the first time that the Court confronted the citizenship status of inhabitants of territories acquired by the United States.
However, there are some important specific things to remember when embarking on senior dating. Research has demonstrated that senior dating brings with it some challenges peculiar to itself.
Marrying a Puerto Rican girl, you can be sure that your kids will always be loved and educated. Actually, the fact that they want a better life for their future kids is among the #1 reasons for these ladies to become mail order brides. That is very important, as it is nice and comfortable to be around witty people.
Most Puerto Rican women are used to men trying to tell them what to do. As a result, when they feel that you are trying to rush them, they will stone-wall you. Moreover, your Puerto Rican bride might take some time to open up to you because they are used to men who are not serious with commitment. Therefore, Puerto Rican dating sites come in handy for people who do not want to leave their home country until they are sure they can find their bride. The most common of these dating sites are Puerto Rican mail order brides sites. These sites will help you reduce the cost and risk involved in marrying a Cuban girl.
These ladies can see when their favorite men feel sad and they always do their best to cheer lovers up. They feel what the lover likes and what he doesn't like.

But the role women have played in Latin American history cannot be overlooked if we want to establish a more diverse and equal space for all people to see themselves reflected in their country's stories. And Puerto Rico – a US territory that has always existed in it own cultural spectrum – has a history of repeating those same patriarchal patterns. Call it the legacy of the "Jíbaro," the name given to Puerto Ricans of the "campo" — mostly men — who tended their own farms and had a profound knowledge of the land.
That's because men simply can't resist marrying these hot and passionate ladies. Born in 1879, Luisa Capetillo was an organizer and activist, mostly known for her contributions to the labor and anarchist movements in Puerto Rico. Although she was raised by relatively liberal parents, Capetillo's first encounters with labor unions came when she worked as a book reader at a tobacco company after the Spanish-American War in Puerto Rico.
I would say they are the worst type of American woman you could go with. The same goes for black women, South Asian , and Jewish women. I mean maybe there are a handful that are decent yet most of them are like Jennifer Lopez, pure scum. When she was smashing Puff Daddy i knew i had no more respect for her. Then she left Marc Anthony to be with some young boy toy her son's age. These women love to stand out by wearing outlandish jewelry and clothing. If you consider joining a particular platform, you should always check if the site has proper safety and privacy protection measures and read some reviews.
Puerto Rican women are never shy to express their feelings, be it discontent or approval. You will have to get used to your Puerto Rican bride confronting you with a lot of hand gestures when you do something of which she disapproves.
Using Your Puerto Rican Girl To Produce More Money
Only a foreigner from an economically developed country can give her what she needs. It may be a materialistic purpose, but this girl will give so much instead. She'll love her husband immensely and do her best to create a cozy place for their family. Family is the center of everything a Puerto Rican lady does. This does not stop at the level of parents and siblings; it also includes members of the extended family. So, the latin women of Puerto Rico develop a very close bond with their loved ones from a young age.
Probably the most factor that is effective Puerto Rican mail purchase brides would be that they love adventure. They're keen to fulfill solitary men from various countries and have now enjoyable. Many Puerto Rican ladies love the very thought of being with a international guy. It excites them and so they want to find out about other countries and thinking. A Puerto Rican woman is open-minded and that can talk about something.
They changed the ideas of the revolutionization of machismo and instead began to push for more equality between the genders into the organization. They still had more to fight for, however, the problems with healthcare were affecting Puerto Rican women at an all-time high because of sterilization. One of the first legal abortions in the United States killed a Puerto Rican woman because doctors failed to account for her heart defect when they performed the procedure. This is what the Young Lords Party eventually began to fight for. However, they never gained enough momentum because of their issues with balancing which causes deserved a certain amount of attention.
Plus, the girls in Puerto Rico might just try to fight you themselves. Puerto Rican girls are known for being aggressive and that shit is true. If you're planning to spend some time in Puerto puerto rico girls Rico and dating is on your mind, I found a few spots that will work. If you don't have confidence and swagger, they'll shut you down quicker than any other girls in the Caribbean.

Last weekend, most of our family gathered in Chicago to celebrate the graduate school graduation of our oldest son. My husband Mark, our two daughters, and I boarded a plane in Raleigh and headed to O'Hare International Airport. We needed to do a little business regarding an upcoming international trip that we are taking, so we headed to Terminal 5 where travelers arrive from literally all over the world and first step foot into this country. It brought back memories of the days when our daughters arrived to this place as toddlers. The moment that we deplaned after a very long flight from China, they became American citizens.
As we finished up our business and headed toward the light rail that would help us get to the blue line of the Chicago Transit Authority , we noticed a man wearing a headscarf. He was awkwardly, yet fairly efficiently, maneuvering four pieces of luggage. We made eye contact and began to converse a bit. He had never been to Chicago and only one other time had been to the United States - to New York. He was a bit unsure of how to get where he needed to be. We fairly quickly realized that he too needed to get to the blue line. We invited him to come along as we made our way there.
In time, we learned that he was from New Delhi, India. He was traveling to a professional gathering. He told us that he is a doctor - a thoracic surgeon. Once we settled onto the train, we learned that he left behind at home his 10 and 6 year old sons. We traded business cards as we got off at our stop and made sure he understood to jump off a few stops later.
It would have been easy to avoid eye contact with this man and just go about our own business. But I am glad that we did not. He was interesting and kind and exhausted after a long flight from India. In that moment, he was a "foreigner", a "stranger" that is so often referenced in the Bible.
On Saturday AM, as I struck out from our air bnb home for the weekend in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood west of downtown Chicago, I was looking for a pharmacy. I accidentally left my cell phone behind and needed some help to find one. There were a number of older women on the streets speaking into their cell phones a language that was not familiar to me. I made eye contact with one woman and asked her, can you help me find my way? She smiled and pointed. In that interaction, I was the foreigner. As I meandered back, I noticed signs and beautiful architecture hinting of the story of this neighborhood and the people who settled here. Many came from Ukraine, right next door to Russia.
There were so many churches within such a small area. Ukrainian Catholic and Orthodox churches all along the way.
This is what makes this country so beautiful to me. The various cultures and back stories of people who come from so very many places across our globe. When we slow down and engage face to face, we will come to understand that within the human race, there are actually no foreigners at all.


Immigration arrests and deportations in New Jersey are the highest they've been since Donald Trump won the presidential election. But despite the hard-line rhetoric from the White House, enforcement actions are not as high as when Barack Obama was in office.
The Enforcement and Removal Operations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement recorded 3,409 arrests and 2,608 removals based out of the Newark regional office during the 2018 fiscal year, data released Friday shows.
Arrests in the state increased by 220 from the previous year and by 1,162 since 2016, while deportations increased by 72 since 2017 and by 756 since 2016.
The enforcement, however, is still a way from the high of 4,453 arrests and 4,361 removals in 2013, records show.
The ERO arm of ICE increased arrests after Trump took office, prompting some states and municipalities to limit local police cooperation with ICE on civil immigration actions.
New Jersey this month adopted new policies that restrict police officers from enforcing civil immigration law and prohibit county jails from detaining inmates wanted by ICE past their release date. The directives do not prevent authorities from arresting and prosecuting people charged with violent offenses.
Despite the lack of cooperation, ICE detainers nationally have increased from more than 86,000 in 2016 to more than 177,000 this year.
"This number demonstrates the large volume of illegal aliens involved in criminal activity and the public safety risk posed by these aliens, as well as ERO's commitment to taking enforcement action against all illegal aliens it encounters," according to the 2018 ERO report released by ICE on Friday.
In response to the state Attorney General's Office directive, ICE officials warned that enforcement actions would likely increase in New Jersey, including in public spaces and workplaces.
Nationally this year, ICE arrested 158,581 people suspected of being in the country illegally, an 11 percent increase over 2017. Almost all of them — 90 percent — had criminal convictions. Nearly a quarter were facing new criminal charges.
ICE placed far more people in detention to await immigration proceedings. This year, ICE booked 396,448 people in detention facilities, a 22.5 percent increase. Book-ins from arrests by Customs and Border Patrol increased by 32 percent, which ICE said illustrates "a surge in illegal border crossings."
The agency also deported 256,086 people who had been in the country illegally, an increase of 13 percent. About 57 percent of those deported had criminal convictions, while more than 5,900 were known or suspected gangsters, ICE said.
Below are all the countries that the deported immigrants were citizens of.

Special education student wins Yes I Can award
Jacob BatteStaff Writer
Spirited. Compassionate. Motivated. Those are just some of the words used to describe the 2015 Yes I Can award recipient M'chel Robertson.
Started in 1982 by the special education group, the national Council for Exceptional Children, the award honors special education students "who shine."
"I was shocked at first, then I was excited," said the Raceland Middle School seventh-grader. "It means a lot because I don't get out as much. I would really love to go to other places."
She was nominated by social worker Gretchen Percle, who has worked with M'chel since 2003.
"M'chel has always been innately curious, inquisitive and motivated to learn everything she could about the world around her," Percle said in her nomination.
Her mother, Nikita Robertson, said she was excited for her daughter.
"It's amazing to me. Coming from where she was ... her saying 'yes I can' makes it so," she said.
"You would probably see her and think she must be limited. She's not," she added.
M'Chel was born with campomelic dysplasia, a rare genetic disorder that has caused severe bowing of her leg and arm bones, among other abnormalities. Few people survive the disorder past infancy. Percle said the fact that M'chel has lived this long is simply an example of who she is as a person.
"Motivation has never been an issue for M'chel despite the struggles she faces every day due to her ailing body," Percle said.
Though she has received special education services for most of her life, M'chel is mostly independent, needing only some physical help for classes, Percle said. Her grades have always been important to her and she has maintained a B average or higher as a student.
"At first glance, it might appear that M'chel's accomplishments over the years have enabled her to grow stronger and more confident, but I truly believe that M'chel has known from the time she could speak that she was born for success," Percle said. "I was deeply moved by her tenacity from the minute I met her, and she has had an impact that is indescribable on so many people for so many reasons."
A traveler at heart, M'chel said her condition often keeps her at home. However, this spring will be a little different. On Monday, M'chel and her family packed up to spend several days in Mexico, where they'll go jet skiing and swimming. Nikita said Louisiana state troopers had granted M'chel a wish.
Yes I Can winners will go to San Diego for a ceremony in April. M'chel said she's looking forward to spending some time on the California beaches.
While Nikita described all seven of her children as "awesome," she said she could have had seven of M'chel and would have been happy.
"She's always been compassionate, lenient, never angry. She's always helped me with being susceptible to society, with everybody not accepting her as I have. Little kids can be mean sometimes, but she just looks up at me and says 'Oh mama, it's OK.' She's such a pleasure," Nikita said.
Raceland Middle Principal Nancy Curole said M'chel is an excellent student, but an even better person.
"Although wheelchair bound, she plows down the hallways smiling and greeting others, laughing with her friends and taking some for rides on her chair for recess," Curole said in her recommendation letter.
Her disabilities don't get in the way of her being a normal teenager, Curole said, noting how M'chel is often involved in pep rallies and is known to be in the middle of the dance floor during school dances.
"M'chel knows no boundaries. She asks for no special treatment or extra advantages. M'chel's spirit and motivation to live her life to the fullest is an inspiration to us all," Curole said.
"Simply stated ... we are all better because M'chel is who she is," Percle added.

Cotton Candy: Carnival Snack to Medical Wonder

About the Author: Alison Kennedy
Alison is sugar-loving aerospace engineering major at USC.
Many people know that cotton candy is made from sugar. They may not know, however, this fun carnival treat's colorful history. Cotton candy has been used in many different ways since its properties have become known in greater detail. Melting and spinning sugar, for one, results in a delicious dessert: using chemistry and physics, engineers have created machines that can form the fluffy snack. Nowadays, cotton candy is not only considered for consumption, but also for transplant research.
Carnivals, circuses and amusement parks entertain huge crowds of people, but what keeps visitors satisfied in the spare moments among rides, stunts and attractions? One answer is cotton candy.
Cotton candy evolved from a rare and decadent dessert called spun sugar. Spun sugar was an 18th century delicacy, enjoyed mostly by wealthy families due to the high price of sugar. But even as time passed and the price of sugar decreased, very few people had the patience to melt sugar and spin it into a dessert without burning it, so this treat was still a rarity. When sugar spun by machines became available to the public in the early 20th century, however, the dessert took on a new name: cotton candy.
Cotton candy is almost entirely made of sugar. For those who want to manipulate sugar for cooking purposes, an understanding of sugar on a molecular level is vital. Sugar molecules must be manipulated—dyed and arranged in a certain way—in order to produce the commonly pink, fluffy snack we know today (Fig. 1). This manipulation was achieved by the earliest electric cotton candy machines, which were simple to operate and which completed the melting and spinning processes faster than could be accomplished by hand. The spinning motion exhibited by these machines is governed by rotational physics, a topic that the candy machine engineers understood well.

Today, engineers who understand chemistry and biology are using cotton candy to actually improve human health. New research explores the use of small cotton candy threads to create a network of pathways. These pathways would become part of new and complex transplants as a way to imitate vascular networks (i.e. to transport blood).
The History of Spun Sugar
The melt-and-spin technique that transforms hard sugar into threads was known long before cotton candy was sold to the public. In a cookbook published in 1786 "written purely from practice", a housekeeper named Elizabeth Raffald described how to make a dessert of spun sugar. The following instructions for spinning sugar are paraphrased from pages 156 and 157 of the cookbook [1]:
• Set the sugar by the fire until it melts
• Use a clean knife to scoop up the syrup (melted sugar) and be sure not to let it cool
• Move the knife backwards, forwards and in all directions; a thread of syrup will follow
Spinning sugar by hand was time consuming and sugar was expensive in the 18th century. Wealthy families, those who could afford sugar and housekeepers to whom they could assign the tedious task, enjoyed spun sugar both as a dessert and as a preservative.
As a preservative, sugar was spun by knife directly over meat. This created a "silver web" that would keep the meat fresh for a few more days by stopping the growth of bacteria [1]. Bacterial growth is fueled by moisture, and so the reason that sugar can preserve food employs a concept that was developed in the science section of this article: spun sugar absorbs moisture. Not only does spun sugar absorb the moisture produced by the sitting meat, it also takes in the moisture from the bacteria. This kills the existing bacteria in addition to preventing any more growth.
The Chemistry
Sugar, or sucrose, is mostly harvested from sugar cane or sugar beets. Sugar cane produces a pulpy juice that is boiled and strained to remove impurities; after drying into granules, the sugar is ready for distribution [2]. In the early 18th century, however, sugar was often damaged by humidity and water in transport, which required it to be refined after transport and before sale [2]. Raw sugar still goes through the refining process today, and the final product is crystallized sugar, also known as table sugar. This dry, white substance is a collection of sugar crystals, which are formed of neatly organized sucrose molecules that take on a cube-like shape [2]. A sucrose molecule is composed of fructose and glucose, or more specifically, 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms and 11 oxygen atoms (C12H22O11) [3].
The sugar crystal is essentially a neat arrangement of bonded sucrose molecules [4]. The bonds between these molecules are broken at sucrose's melting point, 190°C [2]. The melted sugar is then cooled before the sucrose molecules can reorganize into crystals. Because the new structure is composed of disordered sucrose molecules, the sugar can be formed into filamentous threads.
Sucrose crystallization, according to an experiment conducted by Dr. Theodore Labuza – awarded professor of Food Science at the University of Minnesota – can be induced by the presence of moisture [5]. This is important in understanding the process of coloring cotton candy. If the infamous pink coloring were added to the spun sugar product, the sugar would soak up the moisture from the dye and crystallize: the customer would be left holding small clumps of colored sugar instead of a collection of airy threads. The trick for coloring while still maintaining a cottony appearance is to add coloring to the table sugar, then melt the mixture. The colored syrup is then spun into threads that cool almost instantly. The sugar does not have a chance to recrystallize, and the result is a colorful, airy treat.
The Cotton Candy Machine at the World's Fairs
Although the first inventor of the cotton candy machine is unknown, there are two likely candidates. Josef Delarose Lascaux, a dentist, is said to have introduced a cotton candy machine at the 1830 World's Fair [6]. However, there are no patents or trademarks for a machine in his name.
In 1903, though, William Morrison and John Wharton submitted a patent for their "candy-machine" and used it to sell cotton candy at the 1904 World's Fair. Their machine was one "in which a revolvable or rotating pan or vessel containing candy or melted sugar causes the said candy or melted sugar to form into masses of thread like or silk like filaments by the centrifugal force due to the rotation of the vessel" [7]. In a method similar to Elizabeth Raffald's, the sugar is melted and wound into threads. The machine contains a basin that holds the melted sugar and has an array of small holes—each on the order of 50 micrometers in diameter—in the sides [2]. As the machine spins, the syrup is pushed through the holes, creating thin threads that are then spun into the final filamentous product. (A modern cotton candy machine is pictured in Fig. 2.)
Steve Jurvetson/Wikimedia Commons
Figure 2: The inner workings of a cotton candy machine.
Morrison and Wharton noted that centrifugal force was pushing the melted sugar away from the center [7]. A Canadian inventor, Herbert Hurd, even called his own cotton candy machine the "centrifugal machine" [8]. This force manifests itself according to Newton's Second Law (a force causes an acceleration) and Third Law (every action has an opposite reaction).
The force that causes the melted sugar to accelerate outwards through the small holes is a response to the centripetal force generated by the rotation of the pan. Because the sugar maintains a circular path as it is whirled about inside the pan, the centripetal force is accelerating the sugar toward the pan's center. However, this motion produces a reaction "force"—the centrifugal force—that pushes the sugar radially outward through the holes [9]. As melted sugar reaches the outer bowl, it cools and forms threads, which are then ready to be bundled and consumed.
Engineers of the early 20th century designed a machine to melt and spin sugar into a dessert. According to NPR, engineers of the 21st century are investigating the use of cotton candy in medicine (Fig. 3). A reconstructive surgeon and a Cornell graduate student are researching whether cotton candy can be used to create small pathways through which tiny blood vessels can travel. The presence of the cotton candy would allow a mold to be set in place around its pathway, and since the sugar crystals will dissolve when soaked in water, the cotton candy can be subsequently rinsed out. Cotton candy proves to be ideal for this research because it is easy to control the size and shape of the candy, since the molds may need to vary in the number or size of their thread-like tunnels [10].

Figure 3: The thin sugary filaments that may provide vascular pathways for transplanted tissues.
The personalized molds could then be inserted into tissues that are to be used in surgeries on knees, windpipes, and more [9]. These new transplants generally lack functional vascular networks, so blood cannot travel to or throughout them. However, since these transplants are live tissues, they will die after the transplant without an adequate blood supply [11]. The research based on cotton candy is still in the very early stages of development, but in the future it could have a huge impact in the world of transplants.
A wide variety of engineering fields have worked with sugar. Knowing the chemical properties of sucrose allowed people to manipulate its molecules to engineer cotton candy, a delicious treat. This process was simplified, furthermore, by various generations of cotton candy machines, which were invented by mechanical engineers by applying their knowledge of rotational dynamics. Biomedical and chemical engineers, finally, are now using cotton candy in their research on the imitation of vascular tissue in transplants. Cotton candy is a snack that yields many sticky-fingered kids, but it is also a milestone in culinary technology and may soon figure prominently in biomedical engineering.

The appellant sought information regarding nature of duties of Medical Teachers (Asst./Associate Professor and Professor) in Govt. Medical Colleges as per MCI Rules and Regulations.
Both parties are present and heard. The appellant filed an RTI application on 20.07.2013, seeking the above information.PIO/Jt.Secy. in his reply informed the appellant that the queries are in the nature of eliciting opinion. The FAA in his order upheld the PIO's decision.
The respondent stated that the Regulations are silent in this regard. The appellant stated that he is working as a Asst. Professor in the Govt. Medical College, Nagpur. He stated that there are two depts., namely, Public Health and Medical Teachers. He stated that his duties involve sitting in the OPD/casualty, VIP duties and others which are basic duties of the Public Health Dept. He stated that in doing these, his basic work of teaching is suffering. The respondent stated that the rules/regulations are to be implemented by the concerned state govt.. He stated that the academic content of setting of minimum teaching hours of a particular subject in a college is set by them, but not the administrative content of how the college enforces the same.
After hearing the parties and on perusal of record, the Commission finds that this is an issue of public interest. The MCI has made its position clear in this regard that it is up to the Govt. Medical College to enforce the requirement of minimum teaching hours. The Commission directs PIO to forward a copy of this order along with the RTI application filed by the appellant and seek comments from the Govt. Medical College, Nagpur in this regard. This information shall be provided to the appellant, within four weeks of receipt of this order, under intimation to the Commission. In case no comments are received from Govt. Medical College, Nagpur, within four weeks, the same may also be intimated to the appellant, under intimation to the Commission. The appeal is disposed of accordingly.


FONTANA – School board member Leticia Garcia apologized Monday for not telling the public that she is married to a man convicted of murder, even as the mayor called for her to step down from her leadership position on the board.
Garcia admitted last week that she told voters she was divorced, despite her marriage since 2002 to Jason Garcia, who after 27 years in prison for murder was released in September. San Bernardino attorney Tim Prince, a local Democratic Party leader, also acknowledged being romantically involved with Garcia beginning in 2010 — a period during most of which he thought she was divorced, he said.
Garcia's story has buzzed through Fontana after being broadcast on the radio and being published in local papers.
After a weekend of hearing her phone ring off the hook – more than she's heard it on any other public issue – Mayor Acquanetta Warren called for Garcia to step down Monday from her leadership position on the board.
Warren, whose mayoral power does not extend over the school board, said it wasn't necessarily the relationship, but rather that she lied about it after establishing herself as a government watchdog – for months preaching the importance of governmental transparency.
Not long after she came into office in November, Garcia questioned the expense and viability of an after-school program.
Warren said that those critiques were welcomed.
But in the wake of what she called Garcia's lie, Fontana's reputation has taken a huge hit at a time when the city and the county are dealing with a range of delicate issues, from deep budget cuts to corruption charges.
And in this case, Warren said, Garcia presented herself based on a lie.
But the fallout was spreading in Garcia's world too.
For days now she's been receiving messages from Fontana residents, very much opposite to what the mayor said she's been receiving.
In recent days, many people have supported her, Garcia said, adding that she's received about 30 to 40 emails of support and about 50 telephone calls and texts.
While for many, Garcia's marital relationship might have been an embarrassment for the city, many thanked her for talking about a relationship much like they have, where a loved one is incarcerated.
"I've had some students reach out to me, saying they've read my story and want me to know their mom's been in prison for the last 10 years," she said.
In some respects, it was interest in incarcerated people that led Garcia to meet her husband and ultimately led her to the school board dais.
She met him in 2001 while researching for a project on the rehabilitation of juvenile offenders.
Ironically, she said, the point of the project was to prove that they couldn't be rehabilitated.
That changed when she met Jason Garcia, who proved people can change, she said.
An interest in becoming an attorney morphed into teaching, and all along an interest in education advocacy remained.
That interest led her to run for the school board – after seeing what she felt was a body that was a "rubber stamp" for district policies.
"Everything was status quo," she said.
Garcia said she has no plans to speak about the issue at Wednesday's school board meeting, choosing instead to focus on board business rather than her own.

Q: C++ dynamic (multi-stage) 3D vector instantiation and element assignment Okay, so I need to create a 3D data-structure at run-time, I decided to use std::vector, the problem is as follows: I know the dimension of the 1st dimension at instantiation time (when I create the object I'm using it in), but I don't know the dimension of the second until run-time, and the size of 3rd dimensions can vary. I have created the 3D vector and the run-time doesn't complain, however I'm having difficulty assigning values to the elements.
This code is part of an object I'm creating. In the class definition I have:
std::vector< std::vector< std::vector<double> > > splits;

Then in the object constructor, in order to create/allocate the first dimension, I have:
for(int i=0; i<sizeOfDimOne; i++){ //create 1st dimension
    splits.push_back( std::vector< std::vector<double> >() );
}

based on user input I need to create 2nd dimension of a certain size, I call a method for this:
for(int i=0; i<sizeOfDimOne; i++){
    for(int j=0; j<sizeOfDimTwo; j++) //create second dimension
        splits[i].push_back( std::vector<double>() );
}

However, when I get to assigning values:
for(int i=0; i<sizeOfDimThree; i++){
   splits[dim1][dim2].push_back( someValue ); //adding an element to the 3rd dim
}

(The someValue changes constantly (and is a double), and you don't have to worry about lower dimension indexing, everything checks out.) The problem is - when I checked splits[dim1][dim2][i] the value was 0.0 for (presumably all) entries, naturally this is not what was provided by someValue.
I have also tried creating the 3rd dimension using .resize(sizeOfDimThree) and then assigning using
splits[dim1][dim2][i] = whatever;

but that didn't work at all - no object/element was created at all.
I realize this perhaps isn't the most straight forward manner of phrasing the question, but I believe it is the most accurate, as there might be multiple-points of failure.

A: Okay, so it turns out, that technically everything was correct (albeit inefficient, which I got around by using .resize() for appropriate dimensions in turn), my 'problem' was (as it tends to be) a very stupid mistake, to verify that everything was assigned I used:
printf("value assigned: %d", splits[dim1][dim2][dim3]);

instead of (since splits is a double):
printf("value assigned: %.3f", splits[dim1][dim2][dim3]);

Moral of the story: pay attention to how you treat the variable datatype & post full source code.

A: See if boost::multi array could help, it can do things like:
 typedef boost::multi_array<int, 3> array_type;

  array_type::extent_gen extents;
  array_type A(extents[3][3][3]);
  A[0][0][0] = 4;
  A[2][2][2] = 5;
  A.resize(extents[2][3][4]);
  assert(A[0][0][0] == 4);
  // A[2][2][2] is no longer valid.

Here is the link : http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/libs/multi_array/doc/user.html#sec_example

A: If you're on Linux, check the code with valgrind. If there's a memory error in your code (which sounds like what you're encountering), valgrind should expose it.

Debouncing is the technique of detecting and removing multiple state changes from a hardware device (most commonly a push-button switch) caused when the mechanical contacts touch. Because of tiny imperfections in switch contacts, as the contacts come together and make a conductive circuit, the actual resistance jumps up and down multiple times in quick succession (this is the bouncing). Although the human eye cannot see this when a light is turned on in a house, this bouncing can cause problems for logic which is expecting a single state tradition (e.g. a microcontroller which is counting button presses).
A digitalized output of a button press, which needs debouncing.
A schmitt trigger can be used to avoid "grey areas" of digital logic.
Another way to debounce inputs is to use firmware. Assuming the button is connected to the input of a microcontroller, it is normally simpler, cheaper, and easier to do the debouncing in firmware than hardware.
The Ganssle group, A Guide To Debouncing, is an awesome, in-depth investigation into switch debouncing. If you are reading up on this topic, it is a must see!

Bulharská ekonomika patří k slabším evropským ekonomikám a nejslabším v rámci EU.

Situace po roce 1989

Hospodářství je v této východobalkánské země se drasticky propadlo po zhroucení RVHP a zavedení volného trhu. A to především proto, že původní hospodářská struktura země byla orientovaná tak, aby fungoval hlavně zahraniční obchod se SSSR. Sovětská odbytiště však také roku 1991 skončila; kromě rozpadu země tam došlo i k hospodářské krizi a tudíž i snížení poptávky po bulharském zboží. Životní úroveň v samotném Bulharsku se tak snížila o 40 %, na úroveň roku 1989 se podle statistik dostala až teprve v červnu 2004. Dalším z faktorů, kromě problémů s přechodem na tržní ekonomiku, který bulharské hospodářství těžce poznamenal, bylo uvalení sankcí na země jako Irák a Jugoslávie, kam Bulharsko také vyváželo významnou část své produkce.

Krize a restrukturalizace
První známky růstu se objevily v letech 1994 (růst HDP o 1,4 %) a 1995 (růst HDP o 2,5 %). Velkým problémem však stále byla inflace, která roku 1994 dosáhla hrozivých 122 %. O rok později nakonec klesla zhruba na čtvrtinu. I přesto však rok 1996 nepřinesl pokračující růst a obnovu ale krach, a to hlavně díky chybám; zemědělská politika byla zcela neúnosná a decentralizovaný bankovní systém nakonec vyšrouboval inflaci až na 311 %, což vedlo k zhroucení leva. Následně bylo nutné ekonomiku restrukturalizovat; plán proreformních sil, které se dostaly k moci, nakonec sice připoutal leva k marce (později k euru), vedl ale zároveň ke stabilizaci hospodářství a souhlasil s ním i MMF spolu se Světovou bankou.

Na počátku 21. století se podařilo, byť za cenu deficitních rozpočtů, zvýšit ekonomický růst, kterému pomohl i vstup země do Evropské unie 1. ledna 2007. Velkým přínosem je také turistický ruch — Bulharsku se daří propagovat v zahraničí jak své mořské pobřeží, tak i památky ve vnitrozemí.

Energetika

Největší elektrárnou v Bulharsku je jaderná elektrárna Kozloduj. V současnosti jsou zde v provozu dva reaktory typu VVER-1000, elektrárna má tedy výkon 2 000 MW. Původně byly v provozu ještě 4 reaktory VVER-440, ale jednou z podmínek vstupu Bulharska do EU bylo jejich uzavření. V 80. letech byla započata stavba jaderné elektrárny Belene, ovšem v roce 1990 byly práce zastaveny. V roce 2002 pak došlo k obnovení projektu a podle původního plánu měl být první blok spuštěn v roce 2013 a další o rok později. Stavbu provádí ruská společnost Atomstrojexport, která má elektrárnu vybavit modernizovanými reaktory VVER-1000. Na jaře roku 2011 byla stavba odložena v reakci na havárii ve Fukušimě.  Dále Bulharsko vyrábí elektrickou energii v uhelných elektrárnách, například ve Varně, a několika velkých vodních elektrárnách.

Cooperative Energy, Origis Energy Celebrate Successful Launch of 52 MW Lamar County Solar Site
News, Solar / March 7, 2018 August 9, 2018
SUMRALL, MS (March 7, 2018) – Cooperative Energy and Origis Energy today celebrated their new joint venture 52-megawatt solar project in Lamar County, signifying a major commitment to generating environmentally-friendly renewable energy. Elected officials and business leaders joined the two companies at the celebration, held at the facility site near Sumrall in Lamar County. The facility began operation in December. Today's event included a ribbon cutting to officially unveil the project.
The 540-acre site, MS Solar 3, includes 206,000 polycrystalline solar panels which gather sunlight and transform it to energy that will power up to 11,400 homes. MS Solar 3 uses the best, most efficient solar technology available. Origis Energy built, owns and operates the facility while Hattiesburg-based Cooperative Energy has agreed to purchase all electricity the plant produces. Cooperative Energy is a not-for-profit, Member-owned generation and transmission cooperative that supplies electricity to 11 Member cooperatives that stretch from the Gulf Coast to the Tennessee line.
Cooperative Energy owns a diverse generation portfolio including coal, natural gas, nuclear and renewables. It began solar generation in 2016 with the start of five 100-kilowatt solar sites built at Members' local headquarters. "This new, utility scale solar generator represents a giant step forward for Cooperative Energy in providing solar energy for our members," said Jim Compton, Cooperative Energy's president and CEO. "Not only is it one of the largest solar generation plants in Mississippi, it employs the most advanced solar technology available today."
Origis Energy is helping to power the solar revolution with the construction of more than 100 operations worldwide. The company broke ground on the Sumrall facility in May 2017 and met its goal of production by year end.
"Solar energy benefits all stakeholders – the companies, the end users, the public and the regulators," said Guy Vanderhaegen, Origis Energy's CEO and president. "We firmly believe you will see more electrical utility companies seek to expand their portfolio by adding solar and partnering in projects such as this one. This area geographically benefits from an abundance of sunlight and we know it will be successful in reaching its generation goals."
Additional beneficiaries of the partnership are the Mississippi Scholars and Tech Master programs. Cooperative Energy and Origis Energy in late October announced a $125,000 donation, the largest single gift ever made to the programs. Mississippi Scholars provides a focus on a STEM – science, technology, engineering and math – curriculum. The program started in 2003 and is now offered in 118 school districts and has recognized more than 40,000 high school graduates. Tech Master helps students acquire the necessary skills to thrive in the workplace. The program started in 2014 and is now offered in 83 school districts and has recognized more than 3,000 high school graduates.
The two companies also donated $25,000 to the Lamar County Education Foundation, which will help support students throughout the district. Project funding was provided by Global Atlantic Financial Group, Origis Energy and Wells Fargo.
