Two of the most storied teams in NFL history, the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have won six Super Bowl Championships, and the Green Bay Packers, who own 12 Championships including a trio of Super bowl titles, are set to collide in Arlington in Super Bowl XLV this Sunday. I will be reviewing some of the Super Bowl prop picks later this week, but for now we'll focus on Super Bowl XLV odds, including the points spread, and the over/under to see if we can predict a winner.
This year's Super Bowl 45 odds are the closest than it has been in 27 years. Online betting giant BetUs.com currently has the Steelers-Packers point spread at Green Bay -2 ½ points, down from the -3 it was a few days ago. Meanwhile, the odds-makers opened the Steelers-Packers total at 46 points, but they have since adjusted it to 44 with the Packers total at 23 and the Steelers at 21.
While both team's offenses received a lot of attention during the year, the Packers and the Steelers possessed two of the best defenses' in the entire NFL this season. Pittsburgh's defense was the stingiest of the two, surrendering just 14.5 points per game, while Green Bay's D was nearly as good, yielding just 15 points per game; good enough for second best in the NFL.
Add up the two teams' points allowed and you come up with an average of just 29.5 points per game this season—14.5 points fewer than the current Super Bowl 45 odds total. If that's not enough proof, both sides combined to cover the under in nearly 57 percent of their regular season games this past year.
Offensively both teams ranked amongst the best in the league in scoring for the regular season, with the Packers ranking 10th (24.3), and the Steelers putting up 23.4 points per game to rank12th.
Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers garnered a lot of attention this season, but a lot of credit has to be given to an entire Green Bay team that fought through a rash of devastating injuries of one sort or another all season long. Rodgers has been unstoppable in the playoffs, and while he had a monster season, he has been even better in the post season. Rodgers has led the Packers' offense, scoring an average of nearly 31 points per game at home, but just 21.3 away from Lambeau.
The big question here is will the week off help a team who had to play three straight road teams to get to the Super Bowl, or will it hurt their momentum?
The Steelers' meanwhile, who spent most of the regular season atop of the standings in the AFC, overcame the absence of franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who served a six-game suspension to start the year. However, since his return, "Big Ben" has produced the "big play" often this season, leading his team back to the Super Bowl for the third time since 2005.
There is already a buzz building surrounding this game, and as far as Super Bowl betting odds are concerned, you'll want to get in early. Super Bowl Sunday draws more first-time bettors than any other sporting event, and because of this, the over/under is likely to change, continuing its downward trend. Why is this important? The under has covered in five of the last six Super Bowls, so getting your wager in now will lock you in at the current O/U of 44, as I expect this year's over/under Super Bowl 45 odds to close at 42 or 42 ½ .
Furthermore, if you're looking to cover the points spread with your wager, the best Super Bowl XLV odds can be locked in now.
Matt's Free Prediction –Of course, we'll see some big offensive plays from both Roethlisberger and Rodgers, but points will be hard to come by in this one. The outcome of Super Bowl XLV will surely be decided by the better defense, and in this case, the Steelers have the advantage.

Meal Prep Ideas on Instagram | Eat This, Not That!
Cut calories without compromising flavor using these smart tips and swaps on meal prep Sundays.
It may seem like there aren't enough hours in the day when you're trying to live a healthy lifestyle. You have to squeeze in a sweat sesh before the sun comes up, avoid breakroom doughnuts at the office, and then get a home-cooked dinner on the table. But we get it—the last thing you want to do is spend time over the stovetop after a long day at work. That's exactly why we've gathered some of the best meal prep ideas spotted on Instagram.
If you're looking to save time, money, and calories, meal prepping is the perfect route to take. All you have to do is devote an hour or two out of your week to cooking and you've got yourself perfectly portioned, healthy meals to last days. Try these genius tips below to help you jazz up your next breakfast, lunch, or dinner. And while you're at it, try Prepping These Foods On Sunday To Cut Calories All Week.
Rather than settling for a lackluster lunch, try batch-roasting your favorite produce and pairing them with a different lean protein each day. Leslie McDonald opts for grape tomatoes, broccoli, spaghetti squash, and cabbage. She serves them alongside delicious main entrees such as Instant Pot beef stew, smoked duck breast, bison bolognese, and salmon cakes made with Safe Catch's wild-caught fish.
I'm on the #mealprep grind this week with enough food for 3 days – I have 1 meal with meat, 1 with seafood and 1 completely vegan! Here's what I whipped up today in about 1 hour (minus the time in my slow cooker): 15-minute cajun chicken & beef sausage stir-fry (link in bio or FitMenCook.com) + spicy cod with grilled asparagus + #vegan slow cooker coconut curry seitan with shredded purple cabbage & thawed edamame. You can find the spicy cod and curry recipes on FitMenCook.com and in FMC Apps under "spicy tilapia" and "slow cooker coconut curry" (instead of chicken, I used seitan). In addition to these meals, I make my #breakfast fresh everyday (by choice) and also enjoy a low-carbohydrate protein shake after working out. Can you dig it?! What would you add/remove? Boom. (traduccion abajo) — He terminado preparando comidas para 3 días – 1 comida con carne, una con mariscos y una comida vegana. Aqui es lo que preparé en casi una hora (menos el tiempo en la olla de coccion lenta): sofrito cajun de pollo y chorizo de carne (receta en FitMenCook.com) + bacalao picante con espárrago a la parrilla + seitan al curry cocida en olla de coccion lenta. Se encuentran las recetas para el bacalao picante y seitan en FitMenCook.com y las Apps FMC cuando busques "tilapia picante" y "pollo al curry en olla de cocción lenta" (en vez de pollo usé seitan). También preparo mi desayuno fresco cada mañana y tomo un batido de proteína despues de entrenar. Qué piensas tú – qué agregarías o eliminarías? Bum.
When you picture meal prepping, you probably relate it to spending hours in the kitchen cooking meals for the entire week. But if you're one to get bored of leftovers fast, FitMenCook has a simple solution: Prep just three days' worth of meals rather than a whole week's worth. Kevin Curry took just an hour out of his day to create nine meals for three days—three with meat, three with seafood, and three completely vegan. In addition to these daily entrees, Curry makes his morning meal from scratch and gulps down a low-carb protein shake post workout.
When Rachel Paul, aka The College Nutritionist, goes grocery shopping for the week, she stocks up on breakfast, lunch, and dinner staples plus a few snacks. If you find your tummy grumbling come the midday slump, make sure to keep healthy snacks on hand to stay satiated and calm the hanger. Paul pre-portions picks such as a 1/4 cup of walnuts, one string cheese, and 3.5 ounces of dark chocolate to curb snacktime calories and cravings.
To cut calories and feel fuller for longer, Change_Begins_With_You swaps carby picks such as pasta and crackers for spiralized and crunchy veggies. Vegetables are more nutrient-dense and have fewer calories than their grain-based counterparts. Plus, they're super versatile, so if you're getting bored of zoodles, you can try spiralizing beets, carrots, parsnips, and squash. Got a nagging hankering for rice? Try vitamin C-packed cauliflower rice instead.
Love the hearty combo of beans, rice, fajita veggies, and spiced chicken but don't love the caloric wrap it's rolled in? Break out the Instant Pot and whip up a 20-minute burrito bowl that's jam-packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats to keep you from snacking before suppertime. Transform leftovers by using lettuce cups as a vessel for the hearty filling or ladling it over cauliflower rice for quick and easy meals you'll crave all week.
Instead of adding crunch to your salad with non-nutritive croutons, toss some popcorn over your greens. A bowl of leafy greens is super easy to prep, but forking into spring mix almost every day can get pretty boring. Swapping croutons with popcorn will bless your bowl with added texture as well as belly-filling fiber.
If you've committed to meal prep, then it's no secret that you're trying to avoid the drive-thru. But just because you've said sayonara to frequent restaurant meals, doesn't mean you can't make your own healthy spin on your go-to order. Pinch of Yum bakes chicken and veggies with a homemade sauce consisting of wholesome ingredients such as ginger, dates, and olive oil and tops the dish with sesame seeds and scallions for a Chinese takeout-inspired supper.
Still averse to eating three-day-old leftovers? Damn Delicious stores chicken, beans, tomatoes, corn, salsa, cilantro, onion, jalapeno, cumin, chili powder, and garlic in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Then, she stores it in the freezer (where it can be kept for up to a month). And the effort is minimal: All you have to do is pop half of the ingredients into your slow cooker (and the other half in the freezer for next time). Let the machine work its magic overnight, and voila, lunch and dinner. Choose these ingredients for fresh cilantro lime chicken or concoct your own creative combo.
You probably have this staple in your kitchen.


Underground Coal Gasification involves igniting a coal seam underground and pumping out the partially burned gases that result.
Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) avoids the need for surface mining, and leaves coal combustion wastes underground. However, in pilot studies it has often resulted in water contamination. Also, because the underground combustion uselessly heats rock and groundwater, more coal must be burned to get the same amount of energy, and as a result the process produces a lot of CO2. This diagram is intended to show the basic process and associated risks of pollution; it does not show mitigation measures. UCG proposals often suggest that carbon capture and sequestration could be used to reduce greenhouse gas impact, though this has never been demonstrated to be commercially viable. Also, by siting UCG to take advantage of impermeable rock layers, contamination might be reduced, though fractures from subsidence might create perforations allowing contaminants to flow upwards.


All of these goodies that I've been baking lately have been quite feminine; sweet and darling. That's not to say that a dude wouldn't eat these things. (I know for a fact that there is one guy in particular who is very disappointed that he's not here to enjoy them.) It is to say that there is always a need for balance. I needed to make something macho and manly. Rub some dirt in it, all that jazz.
On average, it requires about a five minute conversation with me to realize that I've got a thing for cheese. I'm pretty vocal about it. On my first date with Brian, I asked if we could order the cheese plate appetizer, and then proceeded to talk about cheese for the next 20 to 30 minutes. A few weeks later, because he is the gift-giver to end all gift-givers, he gave me THREE cheese journals to document the various cheeses that I try, so naturally, I'm required to always buy all the cheeses, right? Right! My most recent purchase was an Italian cheese called L'ottavio, otherwise known as beer cheese. I repeat: beer cheese.
L'ottavio cheese contains flecks of malted barley. During the curing process, the rind is brushed with brown ale and more malted barley. The result is the smell of a local pub and the taste of a nice pint of beer. Let me emphasize that "smell of a local pub" isn't a very pleasant smell. You're going to want to triple or quadruple bag this block of cheese to contain the smell in your fridge.
In my cheese-journal, I noted that this cheese is kind of "unpairable." I usually like to pair a nice fruit or jelly or meat with the cheeses that I try, but this one really seemed to want to stand alone. But then, "ah HA!"
This is a manly cheese here. It needs manly compliments, not fru-fru things like fruits and French jams.
It needs manly compliments like BACON.
What followed is the macho-est, manliest grilled cheese you'll ever eat.
While your bacon cooks, cut necessary slices of cheese and spread butter on the two outer sides of your bread slices.
Once bacon is cooked, remove to a paper towel. Drain all but one teaspoon of the grease. The remaining grease will make your bread crispier, and will give your sandwich more taste.
Set a slice of bread butter-side down. Top with your cheese and cooked bacon, and top with your other slice of bread, butter side up.
Once the cheese begins to melt, flip your sandwich so it begins to melt through the bacon.
Continue flipping until both sides are crispy and golden.

Pemoline is a stimulant drug of the 4-oxazolidinone class. It was first synthesized in 1913 but its activity was not discovered until the 1930s. Under the names Betanamin, Cylert, Tradon, and Ceractiv it was used as a medication to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances, it is a Schedule IV drug. It is no longer generally available in the United States as a result of the FDA withdrawing approval of pemoline as an indicated treatment for ADHD, due to its implication in liver failures among children who were receiving the medication. An FDA Alert warned against prescribing pemoline for ADHD. This spurred Abbott Laboratories, the patent owner of Cylert, to cease manufacturing Cylert. Manufacturers of the generic equivalents followed suit.
Pemoline is generally considered dopaminergic, but its precise method of action hasn't yet been definitively determined. Pemoline passes the blood–brain barrier and acts as a surrogate for dopamine, not affecting endogenous intracellular dopamine. For this reason, and the fact that it has little or no affinity for adrenaline receptors, pemoline has minimal sympathomimetic side effects such as: dry mouth, reduction in appetite, high blood pressure, increased heart rate, constriction of smooth muscle, cardiac stress, dilated pupils and insomnia. There is some data to suggest that pemoline is a nootropic acting as a catalyst conductor in the synapses of the brain's memory centers, raising the efficiency of memory and assisting RNA formation in the brain. While drugs like dexamphetamine and methylphenidate are classified as Schedule II, pemoline is listed as Schedule IV (non-narcotic). In studies conducted on primates, pemoline fails to demonstrate a potential for self-administration.
Pemoline is Schedule IV Non-Narcotic (Stimulant) controlled substance with a DEA ACSCN of 1530 and is not subject to annual manufacturing quotas. The salts in use are pemoline magnesium (free base conversion ratio .751), pemoline iron (.578), pemoline copper (.644), pemoline nickel (.578), pemoline rubidium, pemoline calcium, pemoline chromium, and chelates of the above which are identical in weight to the salt mentioned. Pemoline free base and pemoline cobalt, strontium, silver, barium, lithium, sodium, potassium, zinc, manganese, and caesium are research chemicals which can be produced in situ for experiments. Others such as lanthanide pemoline salts such as pemoline cerium can be prepared; pemoline beryllium would presumably be toxic.
Other stimulants and MAOI's are contraindicated with pemoline.
In some patients pemoline is suspected of causing hepatotoxicity, so the FDA recommended that regular liver tests should be performed on those treated with it. Since receiving FDA approval in 1975, it has been linked with 21 cases of liver failure, of which 13 resulted in liver replacement or death.
In March 2005 Abbott Laboratories and generic manufacturers withdrew pemoline from the American market due to concerns about the liver toxicity risk.
Overdose of pemoline may present with choreoathetosis symptoms.
Pemoline is synthesized by the condensation of racemic ethyl mandelate with guanidine.

It's been a while since I updated my blog. I've been busy lately with work and family so it's really difficult to find time to update. However this post is something that I've wanted to share for a long while and a recent engagement with a client further fuels my wish to publish this.
For practitioner of VMware Virtualization, especially into BC/DR products, VMware Site Recovery Manager is certainly not something new and most of us would have played with it quite a bit. There are also quite a number of blogs on the gotcha and I've been referring to some of the blogs earlier on for solving some of my problems faced. VMware SRM is not a difficult product but it requires a bit of a product knowledge and experience when it comes to the Array based replication for VMware SRM. And I think some of us will tend to agree that some SRM error message displayed in VMware SRM console is not exactly the most helpful and sometimes even ambiguous. Logs deciphering is one of the key skills that any of us who does VMware SRM on a regular basis.
"if you do not have a well-managed environment, try applying best common practices to help baseline your environment".
Let me explain on my situation a bit and that will probably give you a better understanding what is going on. The client is intending to setup VMware SRM to help them with their BC/DR requirements. They have a 10G pipe across 2 sites (just beside each other) and multiple networks within each site. There is no stretched VLAN across sites but they have intention to so as to simplify their DR failover. One site has a perfect layout, networks segregated to their functions and devices kept within the networks eg Storage devices have dedicated storage VLAN etc. The other one is badly designed with a lot of cross network functions, which accordingly to them, are designed that way and they have no choice. However they also mentioned that there are no firewalls nor ACLs governing the route and the routes are pretty much on L3 switches on 10G. Alright it sounds good enough.
Their main storage on both sites are running on Netapp FAS and Vseries on NFS 10G. Pretty neat stuff. So I went on to discuss the requirements on their BC/DR and also run-through some of the pointers. One thing to note for them, I told them to follow some of the best practices dictated below.
One glaring point that I see was, on the second site, the storage lies on a dedicated VLAN whilst all the rest of the DR ESX storage VLAN rest on another VLAN. This obviously means there are routing to be done. I reflected this to the architect of project from client side and he assured me that it was a deliberate move as they have no control on the network and they have done the same for some other projects. He also assured me that there are no firewalls and communications between VLANs are good to go as well as intersite communications. So I took down the points and flag it as design limitations.
The story moved forward on the setup of SRM servers and SRA etc and it finally came to the point of establishing the array managers. Problems problems problems.
I'm able to do array pairing successfully in SRM and enabled successfully in SRM with 1 replicated NFS volume specified in Netapp SRA. However creation of Protection Group is not possible as no array pair is shown in the creation. After researching and looking at logs, I found the problem. The NFS datastores are mounted in hostnames rather than IP addresses and it seems that there are errors in resolving the hostnames in the environment.
So again back to the logs and nothing really shows up on this so I start to look out for communication paths. I've attached a high level ping test diagram below and also did a telnet test on port 80, 22 and 443 for the storage subsystem within site from the SRM servers.
Aha! There are intermittent telnet losses on the management IP address of the Netapp storage via 10G ethernet ports. They did not enable the e0m interface as they thought that it's easier to manage through the access ports instead. I did not really went through why there were intermittent telnet drops on port 80, 22, 443 from the SRM server to Netapp storage within site but this scenario only happens in that direction. I tried using other VLANs to do the same and everything went well. So I asked them to configure e0m interface on another VLAN so that SRM server can communicate to it. After this, everything went well.
So all is well and I asked the project lead to extend the volume to a bigger size (client wanted to replicate more VMs) while I will come back another day to check again. Volume was extended and replication seems to be working fine from Netapp console. Alright good to go. Time to test run the recovery plans. Re-configured the Protection Groups and went ahead.
This is really terrible. According to the project lead, nothing was changed in both the environment and the setup. Back to looking at the logs and all seems fine with the standard errors until one of the discovery workflows triggered my curiosity. The discovery workflow typically search the storage for volumes and subsequently list the volumes and detects snapmirror volumes and relationship and reports. However for my case, it's able to search for the snapmirrored volumes but it's not able to find the mount point?!
Proceed to delete the unnecessary and test. Seems to work better but now my NFS datastore seems to fail at the end (gets stale or inactive) when it tries to mount my virtual machines. Well, consolation that at least I don't get to see weird errors above. Various troubleshooting methods tried and I sort of concluded that the network is not stable. Mounts from other VLANs to the particular NFS datastore during inactive state shown in ESX is fine and mounted fast and browse fast. On my recovery plan test at that stage, the NFS datastore will become unresponsive and takes a long time to display contents. This problem is only seen during production hours and during rest hours, the recovery plan executes perfectly.
Lesson Learnt 3: Never deviate away from standard conventions configuration parameters for your product unless you know what is the impact.
After a long time of explanation and arguments, my client relents and reconfigure the ESX VMkernel targeted for Storage Access to the same VLAN as the Netapp Storage VLAN. Voila! All problems resolved.
Lesson Learnt 4: Apply your best practices when you do not know your environment. Especially so when you need to do cross solutions integration and it's necessary to study and be fully aware of what the best practices can benefit / harm you.
I hope my little write-up today will help some one to troubleshoot their SRM implementation in a networked NFS environment. Cheers!
Had similar issue before with NetApp NFS w/ SRM on NFS mounts using hostnames.
I read the TR-4064 Deploying VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager 5 on Data ONTAP Operating in 7-Mode http://www.netapp.com/us/system/pdf-reader.aspx?m=tr-4064.pdf&cc=us and ask the NetApp guy to provision NFS mounts by IP as it is the recommended method per Technical Report 4064.

So how exactly does the type Sheila Birlings improvement in the play An Inspector Calls?
Extracts using this document.
So how exactly does the smoothness "Sheila Birling's" change in the play 'An Inspector Calls'? The play 'An Inspector Calls' ended up being written in 1945 by J.B. Priestly, nonetheless it had been set in 1912. At this time culture ended up being capitalist, there have been extremely powerful differences between top and lower course individuals, business and farming had been privately possessed and wide range had not been provided similarly. The play focuses on the Birling household headed by Arthur Birling that is a affluent factory owner. In the very beginning of the have fun with the Birling family members is celebrating cheerfully Sheila's involvement to Gerald Croft. Nonetheless, the feeling modifications whenever Inspector Goole comes and notifies all of all of them in regards to the committing committing suicide of the youthful lady called Eva Smith. Sheila Birling could be the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Birling is explained in the beginning as "a pretty woman in her very very early 20s, happy with life and instead excited", most likely due to her wedding to Gerald Croft. Her hopes and programs for future years are to possess a delighted life that is married her husband-to-be. At the beginning of the play her mother notifies her about wedded life saying that men "spend nearly all of their hard work on company". But, Sheila will not concur and she alerts Gerald, "so that you be careful", which will show towards her. that she wants her fiancпїЅ to be attentive . find out more.
Therefore, Sheila utilized her expert, originating from a family that is wealthy to have Eva Smith fired
"we decided to go to the supervisor at Milwards and I also informed him that when they did not be rid of that woman, I'd never ever get close to the location once again and I also'd sway mama to shut
account using them". Whenever Sheila hears the headlines that Eva Smith features killed by by by herself she actually is devastated. She talks about the picture of Eva Smith, ("recognizes it having a small weep, provides one half stifled sob, then runs out"). Her state of mind additionally changes and she begins to see things inside a perspective that is different attempt to comprehend the scenario along with her involvement with it. She regrets exactly just what she's got done and guarantees to "never, never try it again to anyone". essay writer The audience sees Sheila as a very honest individual at this stage. She acknowledges I don't suppose I'd have done it that she was jealous and that her pride was insulted and that "If she'd been some miserable plain little creature. But she had been very pretty". Eva Smith killed by by herself she had no money, no friends and no family because she could not withstand the problems mounting in her life. As Sheila observes every person's involvement in Eva Smith's downfall she starts to recognize the message behind Inspector Goole's trip to the Birling Family, "Well he inspected us alright". . find out more.
In inclusion she realizes that her parents don't have a conscience. They are told by her, "I'm embarrassed from it.
However now you are beginning yet again to imagine that nothing much has happened". The moms and dads seem to only value the knighthood and scandal that is public. Sheila emphasizes they "don't appear to have anything" that is learnt. For Sheila, it is really not essential whether or not the inspector ended up being genuine or perhaps not, "It doesn't much matter which it absolutely was just who made us confess.". The biggest thing to her is they must have learnt a ethical course. In inclusion, Eric in addition has started to concur together with her and understands their parents' faults, "No, Sheila's right. It does not.". Sheila features understood that both her moms and dads tend to be immoral and self-centered. To summarize the viewers has began to see Sheila as being a thoughtful individual. She ended up being the very first anyone to matter perhaps the inspector had been genuine plus the very first someone to recognize which they "hardly ever before informed [the inspector] everything we did not know". She's got a produced a brand new relationship with her cousin, "that is exactly what i'm Eric.". Most of all she's declined her dad's view of "every guy that we are all responsible for the people we come into contact with, whether or not we actually cause someone's death, " If it didn't end tragically, that's lucky for us for himself" and come to see. Nonetheless it might have inked.". . find out more.

City of Sault Ste. Marie to File Lawsuit Against Walmart for Property Tax Issue
9and10news Site Staff,
"We're looking for everybody to pay their fair share," Chippewa County administrator Jim German said.
An Upper Peninsula community wants to file a lawsuit against Walmart over a property tax loophole.
The "Dark Store" property tax loophole allows big box stores to pay less in taxes.
At last night's Chippewa County commissioners meeting, they agreed to help foot the bill along with the City of Sault Ste. Marie, to file a lawsuit to stop the practice.
9 & 10's Blayke Roznowski and photojournalist Noah Jurik have details to explain the "Dark Store" concept and why local governments feel cheated.
Chippewa County officials say they're looking at a revenue loss of about $270,000 to the community because of "Dark Store" tax loopholes.
They say Walmart and other big box stores use the loopholes to pay less in property tax.
"Everything from senior meals to emergency services in the country, to police and pension funds," German said. "They really hit all over the board."
The Walmart in Sault Ste. Marie regularly files an appeal with the Michigan Tax Tribunal to have their current property assessed at the same level as their old, empty big box store.
That allows them to avoid paying $55 sq./ft. and pay just $15 sq./ft.
"It's actually really hurting local government," German said.
Smaller businesses like Cup of the Day say the loophole is not fair to them.
"Our small business pays our fair share of taxes," Cup of the Day owner Anthony Stackpoole said. "We don't get to go to a state tribunal and have our taxes erased. The taxes help our community."
The Chippewa County Road Commission is one of many of the services impacted.
They're looking at a loss of more than $4,000.
"$4,000 dollars is another culvert in the ground," Chippewa County Road Commission superintendent Robert Laitnen said. "That's about a days worth of ditching work that could have been excavated."
"What it's really all about is paying your fair share and equality," German said. "We want to protect our citizens and that's how you do it."
We reached out to Walmart for comment, but they did not get back to us.
The next step is for the city to approve the lawsuit which is expected Monday.

This article is about the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor. For the cation-dependent receptor, see cation-dependent mannose-6-phosphate receptor.
Insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R), also called the cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IGF2R gene. IGF2R is a multifunctional protein receptor that binds insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) at the cell surface and mannose-6-phosphate (M6P)-tagged proteins in the trans-Golgi network.
The structure of the IGF2R is a type I transmembrane protein (that is, it has a single transmembrane domain with its C-terminus on the cytoplasmic side of lipid membranes) with a large extracellular/lumenal domain and a relatively short cytoplasmic tail. The extracellular domain consists of a small region homologous to the collagen-binding domain of fibronectin and of fifteen repeats of approximately 147 amino acid residues. Each of these repeats is homologous to the 157-residue extracytoplasmic domain of the mannose 6-phosphate receptor. Binding to IGF2 is mediated through one of the repeats, while two different repeats are responsible for binding to mannose-6-phosphate. The IGF2R is approximately 300 kDa in size; it appears to exist and function as a dimer.
IGF2R functions to clear IGF2 from the cell surface to attenuate signalling, and to transport lysosomal acid hydrolase precursors from the Golgi apparatus to the lysosome. After binding IGF2 at the cell surface, IGF2Rs accumulate in forming clathrin-coated vesicles and are internalized. In the lumen of the trans-Golgi network, the IGF2R binds M6P-tagged cargo. The IGF2Rs (bound to their cargo) are recognized by the GGA family of clathrin adaptor proteins and accumulate in forming clathrin-coated vesicles. IGF2Rs from both the cell surface and the Golgi are trafficked to the early endosome where, in the relatively low pH environment of the endosome, the IGF2Rs release their cargo. The IGF2Rs are recycled back to the Golgi by the retromer complex, again by way of interaction with GGAs and vesicles. The cargo proteins are then trafficked to the lysosome via the late endosome independently of the IGF2Rs.
Insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor has been shown to interact with M6PRBP1.
The insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor function evolved from the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor and is first seen in Monotremes. The IGF-2 binding site was likely acquired fortuitously with the generation of an exonic splice site enhancer cluster in exon 34, presumably necessitated by several kilobases of repeat element insertions in the preceding intron. A six-fold affinity maturation then followed during therian evolution, coincident with the onset of imprinting and consistent with the theory of parental conflict.

Antitrust Law Daily House panel hears from Sprint, T-Mobile CEOs on merger
House panel hears from Sprint, T-Mobile CEOs on merger
Additional hearings in House on significant mergers likely.
Today, the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Communications and Technology held a hearing entitled "Protecting Consumers and Competition: An Examination of the T-Mobile and Sprint Merger." John Legere, Chief Executive Officer and President of T-Mobile US, and Marcelo Claure, Sprint Executive Chairman, were on hand to defend the companies' renewed plan to unite. A prior attempt to merge was abandoned in 2014 in the face of regulatory hurdles.
Five years later, the companies now say that their transaction is needed to ensure U.S. leadership in 5G technology. They also contend that a combined T-Mobile and Sprint will be in a better position to compete with the duopoly that is AT&T and Verizon.
The hearing marked the first time in eight years that the committee had met to evaluate the consequences of any merger, said House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone Jr. (D., N.J.). In his opening statement, Pallone suggested that the committee, as well as other House committees, would resume the practice of reviewing major acquisitions. "For the last eight years major industry consolidation occurred without any oversight, and the consequences of that negligence have been borne by consumers and hardworking Americans," Pallone noted.
Rep. Bob Latta (R., Ohio) pointed out that the final decision as to whether the transaction was in the public interest was up to the Federal Communications Commission. He suggested that the role of the panel was to provide policies to advance the telecommunications market.
The panel heard from the Communications Workers of America, Rural Wireless Association, Inc., and Public Knowledge. Each of these groups spoke out against the merger.
Doug Brake, Director of Broadband and Spectrum Policy at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, offered support for the transaction. Brake took the position that focusing on preserving four operators in the market is mistaken. "This four-to-three lens also ignores the rapidly differentiating business models in and adjacent to wireless services," he said.
While the hearing heard from Republicans in support of the deal, Rep. Anna Eshoo (D., Cal.) was one of the few Democratic committee members to speak up for the merger. Eshoo suggested that Sprint can't make the kind of investments needed to compete with the top two carriers.
Sprint's Claure acknowledged that Sprint faces some significant challenges. Among other things, he noted that the carrier struggles to attract new customers.
Opposition from Senators. Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn), Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.), Tom Udall (D., N.M.), Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio), Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.), Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), Cory Booker (D., N.J.), and Ed Markey (D., Mass.) wrote the FCC and the Department of Justice, urging them to reject the deal. They argued at the acquisition would result in higher prices for consumers, hurt competition, and harm workers.
American Antitrust Institute objections. Also yesterday, the American Antitrust Institute put out a statement, voicing opposition to the merger. "The reality of a Sprint-T-Mobile merger is the elimination of the two 'disruptive' competitors that have kept the big guys, AT&T and Verizon, on their toes, AAI President Diana Moss said. "Worse, it would leave U.S. consumers with a cozy trio of national wireless carriers with strong incentives to collude rather than compete. The deal would virtually guarantee higher prices, less quality, and slower innovation for wireless services for millions of U.S. consumers."
"A government move to block the Sprint-T-Mobile merger would signal a willingness to return to first principles and to enforce the U.S. antitrust laws to defend our markets and protect competition and consumers," the statement concluded.
House Judiciary Committee hearing. The House Judiciary Committee had scheduled a hearing for February 14 to consider the merger. That hearing has now been postponed.

Michael Kimmel, #MeTooSociology and Feminist Betrayal of Sex Workers in Academia
September 4, 2018 February 17, 2021 / jonathannancy
Juniper Fitzgerald writes: I've made an entire alter ego out of the things people hate most about women: bodily autonomy and self-determination in the form of sex work and body modifications, among other things. The recent allegations against prominent sociologist Michael Kimmel, a man known for his scholarship on masculinity and masculine entitlement, unveil the things people love most about women—complicity in the form of apologetics and silence, among other things.
As a former sex worker and sociologist, the allegations against Kimmel sent me spiraling in ways I did not anticipate, and not just because I have repeatedly experienced sexual harassment in my academic career. I am particularly revolted by the allegations against Kimmel because I disavowed my hard-earned sex worker gut feeling in order to elevate his career.
[This article was first published online at Tits and Sass.]
The lauding of Kimmel as a feminist hero and the white, cis women who still defend him, are particular kinds of institutional, personal, and professional betrayals. Black feminist sociologists like Patricia Hill Collins have, for years, pointed to the "insider within" position of marginalized people, explaining how social, racial, and sexual marginalization contributes to a clearer vision of society (a fish doesn't know it's in water, after all).
Despite my sex worker red flags going off every time I used to show Kimmel's TED Talk in the college classes I teach, titled Why Gender Equality is Good for Men, I've used his work for years. I've assigned his books. I've suggested him for paid lecturing gigs. More than anything, that's how the "game" of academia works—in order to succeed, one must deny the knowledge gained as an "insider within." Having played the game of sex work and the game of academia for quite some time, I always suspected that Kimmel was the kind of man who'd believe that fucking him was its own form of liberation. But I pushed that feeling to the side because YAY FEMINISM!
The allegations against Kimmel produced the hashtag #MeTooSociology, which is teeming with horror stories of sexual assault in higher education. Relatedly, after experiencing sexual harassment as an undergraduate and graduate student, I decided to do my Ph.D. dissertation on the sexual harassment that sex working femmes in academia experience.
In my dissertation, I interviewed 20 sex workers who were either students or faculty at an accredited university in the U.S. or U.K. Every single one experienced unwanted sexual attention in intellectual spaces—classrooms, offices, conferences, etc.—because of the lingering perception that sex workers are perpetually available. I also included my own experiences in academia as a once current, now former sex worker. I have been sexually harassed, sexually assaulted, and propositioned by no less than nine cis men in academic positions of power.
If I'm being generous, some of my experiences with sexual harassment as a then sex worker can be chalked up to naivety. For example, one professor asked me how much I charge for a girlfriend experience. As someone who offered that service at the time, the request itself was not problematic; the space in which it occurred was. Power dynamics in both academia and the sex industry are comparable but, nonetheless, different. Rejecting a client or breaking a client's nose when they disrespected my boundaries in the sex industry came at a price. My physical and emotional safety could be profoundly threatened and I likely wouldn't be able to pay rent. In academia, rejecting a cis, white male in a position of power comes with the exact same threats, except instead of not making rent, rejecting a sexual predator in academia can end your entire career.
Despite these two populations—clients in the sex industry and cis, white male academics—overlapping more often than civilians think, the space each population occupies at any particular moment determines the systemic power they have over bodies. If, as one hypothetical example, my current chancellor were to tell the world that I refused to blow him for $100, his credibility would be just as precarious as mine. If instead he floated rumors about my "unprofessional," "dramatic," or "alarmist" character, I would likely get stuck in an overworked academic position with no real possibility of promotion, earning half of what most of my cis, white male colleagues make and navigating daily microaggressions aimed at my body, my parenting, and my intellectual rigor. Hypothetically.
The sex workers I interviewed for my dissertation told similar and even more egregious stories.
One woman I interviewed, Lena, was outed when an amateur porn shot of her was put on the front page of the school newspaper. Similarly, a famous porn actress replied to my request for an interview by saying she couldn't participate in the study because her experience of being outed at her university was too triggering. Unsurprising that we never heard about the academic who found the two women's porn in the first place.
So-called feminists in academia are complicit in the sexual harassment and non-consensual outing that sex-working academics face. By default, they are complicit in the sexual harassment that all femmes in academia face, despite making lucrative careers by claiming the exact opposite. In fact, some of them—like Avital Ronnel—are themselves the abusers. Ronnel, the heralded New York University philosopher, sexually harassed her graduate student, groping him and using inappropriate sexual language as "pet names." While some have defended the language—"Sweet cuddly Baby," "cock-er spaniel," and "my astounding and beautiful Nimrod"—as queer "camp," the situation is similar to those of sex working academics: the intent doesn't mean shit but the power dynamics mean everything. Referring to a person who likely has a cock as a "cock-er spaniel," even if both academics are queer, means that the subordinate student's body is on display within an institution that patently devalues and shames the body.
Bringing any subordinate academic's body to the forefront only ever has negative implications for the person being subordinated. And we can learn a great deal about subordination, bodies, and power dynamics in academia by listening to the experiences of sex working academics.
Lulu, whom I interviewed for my dissertation, was shocked to see a former client-turned-professor at the meet-and-greet for the master's program into which she'd just been admitted.
The client-turned-professor contacted the chair of the department with "concerns" that Lulu was not a good fit for the program. The chair of the department—a self-described feminist—contacted Lulu and told her that it would be "unethical" to admit her to the program, ostensibly because of the inherent harms of sex work.
Another interviewee, Samantha, stated that she confronted a peer who boisterously leered at her during their classes together. "My peers think that sex work […] is a level of promiscuity," Samantha said. "Like, 'oh, well, this person just wants to have sex.' The peer I confronted just said 'Yeah, well, I heard you're a sex worker, so, you know.' "
Likewise, in my interview with Vivian Salt, she explained the import of space and place in conversations about subordination, bodies, and power dynamics:
As a student, I wasn't hypersexualized because I was a student first. In other spaces, no matter how long I've been an activist, I come in as an activist first and they assume I'm not a sex worker, but the second that [my sex work] gets dropped, especially if they don't know my academic credentials, I definitely feel very much both hypersexualized and very much intellectually undermined […] When I am a sex worker first, there's this assumption of being kind of dead inside.
Being perceived as "kind of dead inside" means that sex workers are perceived as lacking bodily and particularly sexual boundaries. Even self-described feminist Mary Mitchell claimed in 2016 that the rape of sex workers is "more like theft of services" and that prosecuting people who rape sex workers "minimizes the act of rape." This is a particularly brutal standpoint for those of us in academia because academia has such rigid hierarchies and unrelenting power dynamics.
In fact, I recently attended a mandatory university meeting in which several folks were tasked with rattling off our institution's strengths. Hilariously enough, a man who sexually harassed me in academia mentioned "collegiality". Of course, sexual predators cannot see the havoc they wreak. And of course, anti-sex work feminists in academia cannot see how they perpetuate and apologize for this havoc. These experiences are literally the definition of the "insider within"—only those unfazed by their own aggression can live their lives believing that everything is collegial. Those of us who have the displeasure of existing within the havoc are simultaneously insiders. We know better than anyone how to dismantle systems of injustice.
For sex working students, faculty, adjuncts, and staff, we must start to embrace our insider-within status. Our status is illuminating; it can expose, as philosopher Michel Foucault said, "the political violence that has always exercised itself obscurely through […] institutions that appear to be both neutral and independent." Embracing our status is not only about embracing the things that people hate most about women, specifically bodily autonomy and self-determination. It is also about bringing our hard-earned gut feelings to the academic table. It is about using those gut feelings to challenge claims of objectivity and neutrality in academe; it is about telling our abusers to take their collegiality and "professionalism" and fuck all the way off.
Protest by sex workers Chicago 2018
Sex workers, like other bodily laborers, provide a service. In order to understand that sex work is a service and a job, one must first acknowledge that consent does not simply dissolve when one creates a cost/benefit analysis of one's life and finds blowing men more sustainable than other forms of work. Adding to that, academia could certainly stand to place a higher value on insiders-within rather than making deities out of abusers.
Of course, sex work is special—it is not like making a latte or building a house. In a sociopolitical environment marred by sexual oppression and obsession, any form or expression of intimacy is necessarily political. But prominent "feminists" like Julie Bindel and Janice Raymond have literally referred to sex workers as walking dildos. They call women like me, women who hold the exact same credentials as they do, "pimps." So when I try to talk about my own sexual harassment in academia, many chalk it up to an issue with my own "professionalism." You can't claim that you've been hurt by men when the reigning feminist assumption is that sex work is necessarily harmful, a kind of backward approach to victim blaming.
And yeah, in a utopia, I would not have had to blow a man to pay off my overdue library fees, because education and all its accessories would be free. I'd have free healthcare and unfettered access to knowledge and secure housing and a basic income. But when feminists tacitly or blatantly suggest that sex workers bring sexual harassment upon ourselves, the implication is that because we haven't single-handedly created said utopia, our oppression should be double downed on.
When feminists refuse to include sex workers in the #metoo movement and now, the #MeTooSociology and #MeTooPhD movements, they perpetuate the idea that sex workers lack boundaries and therefore cannot say no. These so-called feminists perpetuate the idea that sex workers' bodies are always up for grabs, always public property.
It is time for feminists in academia to support us "public women" as much as they support public education.

High-speed rail to connect Hernando County's Walmarts
by Frank Fencil · October 11, 2014
BROOKSVILLE, Florida — Put away your walking stick, you'll soon be at Walmart twice as quick.
Gov. Rick Scott and county officials have announced an $85 million high-speed rail project that will connect each of Hernando County's three existing Walmart Supercenters as well as the Walmart Neighborhood Market slated to open some time in 2015.
"This is an amazing project that will radically transform the quality of life for our residents," Scott said in a joint press conference with the mayors of Brooksville and Spring Hill. "We're getting Floridians back to work at growing, innovative and local businesses, like Walmart on 19, Walmart on 50 and Walmart on 41."
County transportation officials put together the proposal after collecting eight years' worth of data from riders of THE Bus, the county's lone form of public transit.
"We looked at the habits of riders for years and a very clear pattern emerged," said Gumlat Jahn, an engineer with the German-based logistics firm hired to conduct the study. "It became very clear very early on that people were getting on at many different places but were traveling almost exclusively among the Walmarts, whether that was because they shopped there or worked there. It was all sort of an endless cycle these people are struggling to break free of."
The study also identified several neighborhoods most likely to use the rail. Stations are planned for those locations, including Kass Circle, the old Checkers at Spring Hill and Mariner, a two-way connection at Northcliffe and Mariner, Mermaid Station at Weeki Wachee, and Timber Pines.
Passes will be sold at several price points, beginning as low as a one-use pass for $2, and the costs for weekly, monthly and annual passes can be deducted directly from Walmart payroll checks.

Today is the beginning of a 4 part series going up on my blog. This correlates with all the Richard updates. Since you guys loved reading about this so called demon named Richard thats been following me around, I decided to make this into a series where the Savage Squad decides to go looking for trouble when we shouldn't. So, without further ado, let's get into it. I hope you all enjoy 💙.
Austen and I were FaceTiming this one particular night like we had been doing for awhile. It was around 11 when we started the FaceTime call. Everything was going fine. We were messing around in our group chat while giggling back and forth to each other each time something dumb was said. During the FaceTime call, there were weird noises going on. It sounded like crickets, water drops, tongue clicking and a few other weird noises we couldn't explain. At that point we were joking around, saying things like "Richard, if that's you make this noise again," or "Make the noises louder if you're here." We were laughing about it and pretty much blowing it off like it was nothing. Around one in the morning, I went to the kitchen to make ramen because I have a problem. I left my phone in my room because I wasn't going to be gone for that long.
I was gone for about 8 minutes. When I got back, Austen was freaking out.
Austen: Wait, were you gone the entire time?
I noticed he sounded really freaked out and worked up.
Austen: When you were gone it got really quiet and it sounded like somebody was having trouble breathing.
Austen: Yeah. It sounded like some old guy having trouble breathing, then the noises started to sound like a heart monitor. When you came back all the noises stopped completely. I was trying to be really quiet the entire time thinking it would just go away.
By that point, I was in tears. I don't know why. The sudden feeling of sadness hit me and I had the urge to cry. Also, it was the most scared I had ever heard Austen before and we've been through everything together.
That was the first time I actually felt fear from Richard doing something.
Austen and I stayed up for another two hours after that, until we were both calm and tired enough to fall asleep. It was 3:30am when we hung up.
I called Jordan the next day while I was waiting for Matt to pick me up. I told him the story of the FaceTime call and what I thought was going on. He said during most of the day he felt as if he was constantly being watched and followed around. That's all he felt though, nothing really bad or creepy ever happened to him.
The Savage (the group chat I'm in with Austen, Jeb, Jordan, and Matt), decided we needed to do something about this because what happened the past night was ridiculous. We decided that Austen and I should reenact the FaceTime call, but this time record it to see if it happened again. Austen was staying at a friend's house and I was really sleep deprived from the night before. That night, I ended up falling asleep too early. We figured we would try again the next day when we were more prepared.
This night we came prepared. I actually got a mild amount of sleep and we were ready. At 11:45 we FaceTimed. We thought there would be beeping or something. Nothing at all. For the next hour we goofed around. When 1 came around I started recording on my phone, Austen was listening on my iPad and I went to make food. Ramen to be exact. I really have a problem. I came back around the same amount of time later, excited to see if we caught anything paranormal. Absolutely nothing.
During the time I was in my kitchen, Matt was sitting in his room. My house is old, so sometimes the lights flicker. That's exactly what they did while I was making food. Nothing out of the normal for me. When I came back to my room, I had texts from Matt saying he was in his room and his lights were flashing on and off.
At that point I was mildly shook.
Around 1:30 we came to the conclusion it wasn't going to happen. I was telling Austen about something weird my cat has been doing. Smokey has been running down to the basement, jumping into the crawl space and hissing/meowing into the darkness. Every time I tried to tell Austen that story, something would distract me. The first time I tried to tell him, there was a huge spider on my ceiling that caused me to have an anxiety attack. The second time I thought something was moving around in my closet. I was probably tired. The third time I tried telling this simple story, the beeping and noises started coming through the FaceTime call out of nowhere. They were really loud too. So I yelled the rest of the story. It felt like something didn't want me to be telling that story. The rest of the night both of us felt uneasy.
After everything had calmed down, I fell asleep while still FaceTiming Austen. He hung up a little while later so he could go inside his house. He felt like somebody was following him up to his house and he swears he heard footsteps behind him, following him up to the gate.
We woke up and realized we really needed to do something. It's been affecting the 5 of us in different ways, but yet at the same time there's a correlation. That night Jeb was walking to his room and his bedroom door slammed shut right in front of him. When he opened the door, he saw a blue streak flash right in front of him. It's been a crazy week.
So now, the Savage is going on their first ever demon hunt to see what's messing with us.
THAT. IS. SO. CREEPY. DUDE.
HOW ARE YOU EVEN CALM ABOUT THIS.
BRUH, I JUST GOT SHIVERS.
