Fencing team celebrates its all-time wins leader
Senior epee Safa Ibrahim will graduate this semester after breaking a school record with 221 career wins.

After the National Intercollegiate Women's Fencing Association Championships concluded on March 3, Temple's fencers sat down in a circle and each took turns saying what they appreciate about Safa Ibrahim.
Ibrahim, a senior epee, ranks as Temple's all-time winningest fencer with a 221-103 record. She won the epee title and earned All-NIWFA First-Team honors at the NIWFA Championships.
She showed her teammates the hard work it takes to have success and how to have fun while doing it, freshman epee Marielle Luke said.
"Everyone has their own ups and downs living every day," Ibrahim said. "I like to focus on the moment at hand and try to make the best of it. There will be bad days, but if you stay with it, you'll eventually have your good days. You just have to trust what you are doing and go for it."
Ibrahim said fencing has helped her prepare for her career. As the only senior on the team this year, she gained valuable leadership experience, she said.
The sociology major hopes to conduct international research into social issues, like drug use and environmental sustainability, after she graduates.
It would be a career path similar to her brother's. Ayyub Ibrahim, who graduated from Penn in 2016, does research for the Amman Center for Human Rights Studies, a non-governmental organization that advocates for democracy and human rights improvements in the Middle East and North Africa, Safa Ibrahim said.
"Doing research, one second you could be collaborating with a group, then the next you are by yourself doing your individual job," Safa Ibrahim said. "Fencing is the same way."
Becoming a leader was a process Safa Ibrahim started during her freshman year in 2014-15, she said. She focused on becoming a good teammate so she could build trust with the other fencers.
Coach Nikki Franke said Safa Ibrahim leads by example and her teammates can count on her to work hard.

"There is no one like Safa," Luke said. "Everything she does has a purpose, but she does a good job keeping things fun. It could be the hardest drill or easiest drill, but I trust Safa will help make it fun for all of us."
"Safa is not only one of the best fencers I have coached, but one of the best people," Franke said. "She gets along so well with others. She's so kind, so genuine, so focused."
Ibrahim isn't one to be the center of attention, but because she is the team captain and the only graduating senior, sometimes she has no choice.
During Franke's closing remarks to the team after the Temple Invitational and Senior Day on Feb. 24 at McGonigle Hall, Ibrahim's teammates broke out into a "Safa" chant.
"My teammates make me feel really good," Ibrahim said. "It makes me really happy to know how much they care about me. It puts a smile on my face."
Ibrahim said it will be hard to leave the team once she graduates, and she will miss the friends she has made.
But just because she is graduating doesn't mean she will never return.
"I still want to be around this program," Ibrahim said. "I know how they treat alumni in this program. I will have opportunities to come back and visit. And I look forward to those times already."
Ibrahim plans to visit the annual Temple Open and Temple Invitational and stay in touch with Franke and her teammates.
"My team means so much to me," Ibrahim said. "I learned so much during my time at Temple. I don't like to think about me leaving, but when I eventually have to leave, I'll always carry what Temple and this program has taught me."

I see many healthcare providers in my chiropractic office, including nurses who work eight- to 12-hour shifts. Nurses spend their days walking or standing on a hard surface that wreaks havoc on their feet as well as their knees, hips and back. Heel pain, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, knee pain, hip pain, low back pain and many other aches and pains are quite common among this hard-working group.
One of the best ways to give your poor tired and sore body a little relief is to choose the best shoes you can to support you from the foundation up while at work.
Selecting the right pair of shoes can be overwhelming given all the high-tech shoes available, the in-your-face marketing strategies employed by big shoe companies and all the bells and whistles that are listed in every shoe description. For many people, the choice of footwear is all too often based on factors such as how much they cost, how pretty they are or even which celebrity has endorsed them. Many will go straight to the bargain table and look for the least expensive shoe that fits them, and off they go. Conversely, some will assume that the most expensive shoe in the store is the best one.
Your choice of work shoes can make the difference between having a good or bad experience, working in comfort or pain and, most importantly, whether you stay healthy or get injured. There really is no single "best shoe," as everyone has slightly different needs.
These options are essentially categorized by your biomechanical needs.
Are you injured or have you been injured in the past year?
Pronation (rolling in): Pronation is normal and necessary for each step. It's the action of the foot rolling in such that it can absorb the weight of your body with each step.
Supination (rolling out): Supination is also normal and necessary for each step. It's the action of the foot rolling back out to line up the bones of the arch of the foot and form the rigid lever that helps you to move forward.
Biomechanical problems begin when a foot rolls in too much (over-pronation) or rolls out too much (under-pronation). Most people who have aches and pains in their feet or legs will have feet that roll in too much (over-pronate).
One method of determining your level of foot pronation and, ultimately, foot and gait type is by checking your arch height. The easiest way to get a general idea of your arch is by using the "Wet Test." Look at the outline that your wet foot makes on the floor or the bath mat when you get out of the shower.
People tend to assume that if their feet or knees are hurting, they should have more cushioning at their feet. This is actually the opposite of what they need. Most of these people have feet that roll in too much (over-pronation). So instead of adding more cushioning, stabilizing the foot with a very supportive shoe will offer much-needed relief.
The more you weigh, the more force you will generate each time you put your body weight over your foot. Consequently, a heavier person needs a shoe that offers both cushioning for shock absorption and stability for added durability.
If you're currently injured or have ongoing pain in your feet, legs, hips or back, or if you've struggled with injury in the past year (and especially in the last three to six months), then you will need more support at your feet until you can get past your injury and get healthy and strong again.
Despite what you have learned here so far, it's still a good idea to go to a specialty store to purchase your new shoes. The people who work in these stores are knowledgeable and will guide you in making the best choice for your foot. If you have a particularly "special" foot or if you have struggled with finding the right shoe even with the advice of a specialty store, then consider seeing a health professional who has some expertise in this area. See a healthcare provider who has a lot of experience working with feet and offering advice in shoe selection.
When is it time to get new shoes?
Shoes should be changed every 500 miles or 800 kilometers. For a healthcare professional working 40 hours per week on her feet, this equates to about a couple of times a year (every six months). Those who are heavier or who are struggling with pain or injury might need to change their shoes even more often (every three or four months).
When a patient comes to my office with a new symptom such as knee pain, shin splints, heel pain, hip pain or back pain, one of the first things I ask about is the age and mileage of their shoes. Since shoes can appear to be in good condition but fail to provide adequate support, this is often a reason for a new injury.
For those with biomechanical challenges such as excessive pronation, severe bunions or a leg length discrepancy, a good shoe may not be enough and a custom orthotic insert may be recommended. Orthotics can help correct the biomechanics of muscles in the lower leg and foot to help stabilize the foot and restore normal function to both your feet and to all the structures above your feet. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best options for your feet.

'Savukku' Shankar: Is he India's Julian Assange?
February 10, 2014 16:06 IST
A vigilance department insider-turned-online journalist, busy taking on the establishment, comes to fore with the 2G tapes
When Aam Aadmi Party leader and senior advocate Prashant Bhushan put out the sensational audio tapes of conversations between Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam Rajya Sabha member Kanimozhi and the then Tamil Nadu police chief of intelligence, Jaffar Sait, in 2010-11, he was not announcing something new.
Three days earlier, on February 1, a little-known (outside the southern state) Tamil website, Savukku.net, had made these tapes public. It even had an article explaining the alleged role of Sait in tapping phones to gather information and a transcript of the conversations. Though the mainstream media in Chennai largely ignored it, one of the post's subjects, Kanimozhi, made news after being found unconscious and hospitalised the next morning.
Savukku.net, 'whip' in Tamil, has slain Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam chief V Prabhakaran's photograph on one side of its masthead and a silhouette of a cowboy on horse with the whip on the other. The first post on the site dates back to September 2010. In over 960-odd incisive posts since, most sprayed with venom and laced in humour, Savukku.net has been slashing hard and exposing what it calls corrupt bureaucrats, politicians, judiciary and even mainstream journalists, who it says are often too soft on their sources.
Though the website itself does not give any details about the publisher, it is no secret in Chennai media circles it is run by 'Savukku' Shankar.
Trapped?
A Shankar aka Achimuthu Shankar, was an average government employee till a few years ago. Shankar told Business Standard over the phone he joined as a lower division clerk in the directorate of vigilance and anti-corruption following the demise of his father in 1991.
His life changed in 2008, when he was accused of leaking sensitive information to the press. In April 2008, transcript of a taped conversation between S K Upadhyay, then director of DVAC, and L K Tripathi, then chief secretary, was published by the Deccan Chronicle English daily. The day's DMK government appointed a commission of inquiry under judge P Shanmugam to probe the leak. The commission zeroed in on Shankar.
Shankar told Business Standard the charges were false and he was contesting these in courts. He added he was subjected to third degree torture and was asked to testify against some officers.
Following his release on bail, he started collecting information through the Right to Information Act against whom he calls corrupt officers. When he thought he had enough information, he wrote about it in a blog post in mid-2010. "The next day I was arrested on some false charges of road rage. I was expecting them to (arrest me). They did not disappoint," he said.
But his post was well-received, encouraging him to continue writing and eventually convert the blog into a website.
Meanwhile, the ruling DMK was decimated in the 2011 assembly polls. While this eased pressure on Shankar, he says even under the new government, lot of matters of public interest went unreported. "Even within media there is a lot of corruption. Who is going to write about it? I will," he said.
Chennai scribes complain
While some Chennai journalists say Shankar, with his earlier media experience, having been selected under the student journalist programme of a popular magazine, is picking on old colleagues, he rubbishes these. "I was just an LDC, sir. I got to know that blogs can be posted and you can write whatever you want in these. That's how I started it. But I had approached several media houses with information of public interest but was turned down. I had approached them with even the 2G tapes. When they showed no interest, I put it up myself," the government turned activist said.
He doesn't reveal his sources for the tape. "I go collect information myself. And, I write it out when I find time. It does not take much to run a website apart from the server cost and domain charges. I am still getting half the salary," he pointed out with a chuckle .
Even as he continues fighting in courts to get his suspension revoked, Shankar has continued his exposés. Some bloggers call him Tamil Nadu's Assange, after the legendary Australian founder of WikiLeaks that publishes classified information accessed from whistleblowers. But such activism comes with its own perils.
Recently, a Chennai court ordered Shankar's arrest, following a complaint by an employee of Sun TV for alleged defamatory posts on Savukku.net in May 2013. J Anbazhgan, president of Chennai Union of Journalists, said the organisation had made a representation to chief minister J Jayalalitha, seeking relief for Shankar. The union believes the complaint was motivated, connected as it is to Shankar's possession of the 2G tapes.
Shankar's Facebook page, which also has the cowboy with a whip on horseback as the display picture, has 4,774 followers and every post evoking a barrage of comments. He has been busy updating the page on the Central Bureau of Investigation probe and other developments following the Bhushan conference. Looming large over the page, looking probingly into the oblivion from the photo on its masthead is a certain Julian Assange.

Over the past 10 or 20 years, the subject of machine organization and system architecture has been deemphasized in favor of the powerful abstractions that support computational thinking. We have grown accustomed to slogans like "computing is bits, not atoms"---suggesting that bits are not physical and the properties of the physical world are less and less important for understanding computation.
As computing technologists, we tend to think of innovations in terms of new products or services supported by, or made of, computing technologies. But there are other types of innovation besides products. There are process innovations, such as McDonald's method of making hamburgers fast; social innovations, such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving; and business model innovations, such as Starbucks replacing a coffee shop with an Internet cafe. In all these categories, we tend to think of innovations as new ways of doing things that positively impact many people.

Q: Usage of "this time so..." The following is an excerpt from an NYT article:

In 1996, Mr. Lee was convicted of bribing the country's president,
then pardoned. More than a decade later, he was found guilty of tax
evasion but given another reprieve, this time so he could resume
lobbying to bring the Winter Olympics to the mountain town of
Pyeongchang in 2018.

Can anyone please explain the usage of "this time so" here? "So" must be a conjunction since there's no conjunction linking two clauses. What about "this time" then?

A: "This time" and "so" are separate things.
No reason is given for his reprieve of 1996, but this time, that is, for this new reprieve, the purpose was so [that] he could resume lobbying.
He was given a reprieve so he could resume lobbying.
This time, he was given a reprieve for that purpose.


BERLIN — When a debt collector came calling on a family in a northwestern German city about unpaid bills, including a dog tax, the official was looking to seize the family's most valuable asset.
The collector considered other items, but finally settled on a prized female pug named Edda and seized the dog — which the city then sold on eBay for 750 euros — roughly $850.
A city spokesman on Thursday called it "a pragmatic solution" to an outstanding debt.
But the case has prompted outrage from animal rights activists and others in the city of Ahlen, raised questions about the cruelty of the seizure and spurred debate about whether any German laws had been broken.
"I didn't know what was more outrageous: the fact that they seized the dog or the fact that they put it on eBay," said Birgitt Thiesmann, an activist at Vier Pfoten, a German animal protection charity.
The unidentified family of five — including three young children — had fallen behind on bills. The husband had been left a paraplegic after a work-related injury, according to local news reports.
Among other debts to the city, the family owed the dog tax, which is levied by cities and communities across Germany. In Ahlen, population 57,000, the tax for having one dog is nearly $90 a year.
"In general, it's illegal to seize pets for payment," said Nicoline Schuleit, a lawyer who specializes in animals in the neighboring town of Bielefeld. But she noted that exceptions can be made for particularly valuable pets.
The city insisted that the confiscation last year and subsequent sale of the animal were legal and justified the decision to seize the dog as an asset.
Officials said that the price of the pug — set at 750 euros or best offer on eBay, which some called a steal — met the legal test of whether the pug was valuable.
"The employee tried to find a pragmatic solution within the scope of his discretion and decided on the course of action now in question," said Frank Merschhaus, the spokesman for Ahlen.
It also strongly denied local news reports that the debt collector had first considered taking the father's wheelchair.
Ahlen's treasurer, Dirk Schlebes, said on Thursday that the seizure was legal under foreclosure laws, according to the German news agency dpa. "We got a slightly lower price and the money went into the town coffers," he is quoted as saying.
The story came to light recently only after the police officer who had purchased the pet pug on eBay, Michaela Jordan, went to local newspapers to announce plans to sue the city for veterinarian bills and the nearly $800 she had paid for the year-old, purebred pup because she discovered that the animal was quite sick.
She acknowledged to local news media that Edda's price tag was half of what she had expected to pay for a purebred.
So far, it appears that the officer is keeping the dog. But local news outlets reported that the family misses the pug and wants the animal back.
Now, Ahlen is left to debate whether a pug's commercial value should be used to pay off debts.
Ms. Thiesmann, who has spent nearly a decade rescuing puppies from puppy mills, said what was particularly galling about the case was that the German authorities were usually not so quick to confiscate animals.
Germany's passion for pets is well known, and billions of euros are spent in the country each year on cats, guinea pigs, canaries, parakeets and the like.

From Haiti with love: volunteering that crosses frontiers
تم النشر: 15 ديسمبر 2014 15:19 CET
By Enrique Jair Guevara, IFRC
A year ago, I found myself on the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, participating in some field school training offered by the Red Cross. It was there I met three people who risk their lives and sacrifice their time to serve the most vulnerable. I have the honour to share their stories.
Abdias Berrouet
One of the first people I met was Abdias Berrouet who migrated from Haiti to the Dominican Republic in 2007 in search of better educational opportunities, opportunities to help others and ultimately become a volunteer at the Dominican Red Cross. In 2013 when I met Abdias he was studying medicine and had already obtained diplomas in international cooperation and occupational health.
I found it curious and inspiring to see a Haitian volunteering at a National Society in a country not his own. But Abdias has never doubted his dedication and his calling to be a humanitarian. When I asked him how often he went back home, he quickly responded that in the six years that he has living in Dominican Republic he has only returned to Haiti once, on what he explained was a self-motivated humanitarian mission. "I spend my free time helping people who need it, and I dedicate it to the Dominican Red Cross and to the vulnerable people," he said.
To the question of how it has felt being a Haitian working in the Dominican Red Cross Abdias said: "My presence in the Dominican Red Cross is like if I was in my family, everyone worries about me, they advise me and are always on my side. For me, this is a living example that the movement of the Red Cross goes further than any borders of race, religion or culture. In a phrase: we are one.
Abdias who had worked on the response to the 2010 earthquake for three months, captured my attention saying he wanted to share a message with others. His words are clear and simple; "Sometimes we have the will to help but we don't know how. The Red Cross teaches us to help, in what way and time, establishes rules to not violate human rights that in turn make our help more effective. I think that people who want to help, who have the will to help people should approach their National Society in any part of the world. It doesn't matter if we are in Syria or in America wherever we are, the Red Cross and Red Crescent is the same. It is the same motto saving lives and changing minds."
Evelyn Loppe
Evelyn Loppe is another volunteer which shares a similar story. Her mother still lives in Haiti but she is accompanied by her 8- and 12-year-old daughters in the Dominican Republic. When asked about her volunteering Evelyn smiled and told me that for her this isn't work, it is a learning experience. She feels that when she gives her time to the Red Cross, the reward is never materialistic but it is the experience. A year after meeting her I still remember the last thing she told me during our conversation "When my children grow I will take them to be volunteers in the Red Cross."
Ricardo Pierre
Lastly, I was able to meet Ricardo Pierre, another smiling Haitian face, among the volunteers of the Dominican Red Cross. Ricardo also has family who reside in Haiti, an 8-year-old boy and 5-year-old girl. Ricardo had recently returned to the Dominican Republic after offering his services to support the response operation in Jeremi, Haiti in wake of hurricane Sandy.
With a big smile he told me he felt 100 per cent at ease in the Dominican Red Cross, and that he feels he is in his country. Considering his more than 23 years of experience as volunteer I asked how he inspires new volunteers. "Red Cross is life, in the Red Cross we don't fight, we are all here to learn and help those most vulnerable, today it may be someone else, but tomorrow it could be my family, and we all must contribute with our grain of sand."
Volunteers such as Abdias, Evelyn and Ricardo are a perfect example of our Fundamental Principles in action.
For me, it's hard to imagine but easy to admire the fact that these three people left their homes in search of a opportunities and ended up finding their vocation in helping others. This is the principle of humanity perfectly expressed through experience.
I will also be forever enchanted by the fact that people with Haitian origins living outside their country, imbued with humanitarian spirit can become part of an idea, a Movement united across the world.

Michigan House panel blocks funding for new Detroit bridge
Jeff Karoub Associated Press
LANSING (AP) — Michigan Republican House lawmakers today tried to block the governor from spending state money to build another bridge across the Detroit River.
The House Appropriations Committeeapproved a supplemental budget that would prohibit using state money unless the Legislature authorizes construction of the bridge.
"It's a basic rule — it's constitutional. The Legislature has the right to appropriate funds," said Grandville Republican Rep. Dave Agema, who amended the supplemental budget proposal. "My goal is to stop spending money we didn't authorize."
Gov. Rick Snyder has met with Canadian officials and seeks to collaborate with that country to build a span that would supplement the privately owned Ambassador Bridgebetween Detroit and Windsor. Ambassador Bridge owner Manuel "Matty" Moroun has fiercely battled the proposal. He seeks to add a span to his own bridge instead.
A spokesman for the Detroit International Bridge Co., which operates the Ambassador Bridge, said officials there had no comment today on the move by the House committee.
Snyder's spokeswoman, Sara Wurfel, told The Associated Press by email that administration officials "have been clear all along that Michigan taxpayers would not pay for this bridge." She said no money has been appropriated for the bridge in the new budget.
The Republican governor has said he hoped the GOP-led House and Senate would back the bridge plan but began pursuing other options after failing to get legislation through the Senate. He said the state constitution includes Canada as a potential party to a so-called interlocal agreement.
The Canadian government has offered to pick up the cost to build Michigan's bridge plaza, getting repaid through future toll revenue and not leaving state taxpayers liable even if tolls don't fully cover the cost.
The House bill overall cuts $168.9 million from the state's general fund from the current-year budget. Agema said he doesn't know if the moves would block the agreement with Canada, but if does, "it probably shouldn't be entered into" in the first place.
The bridge itself would be built and operated by a private company through bids.
Lt. Gov. Calley won't confirm bridge announcement but says Moroun should bid on…
Snyder expected to announce deal to build new Detroit River bridge

Last week's announcement that Jared Kushner made a "surprise" visit to a Mark Meadows' fund raiser should leave no doubt where Meadows stands during these trying times.
All people in the 11th district should be clear.
ly and consistently denigrating freedom of the press; is under investigation by his own Justice Department for allegedly undermining our own electoral process by colluding with a Russian dictator, conspired (with Mark Meadows himself) to deny 23 million Americans of much needed health care benefits, has terrified our immigrant population with threats of deportation, and who has been documented lying to the American people with an Orwellian frequency, never before witnessed in the United States history.
Mark Meadows has made a cold calculation to give his Congressional support to a man even members of his own party admit is too unstable to serve as President. I hope all voters will remember this in November of 2018.


We will commence with administering Flu vaccinations from 15 September.
* Housebound visits for flu vaccinations will be planned in early October. Please contact our Patient Services Team and they will put you on the waiting list to be seen.
The Child Nasal Flu Clinic is made available to all children aged 2-4 (Date of birth between 1/9/2014 - 31/8/2016) who are currently NOT at school.
Please note we do not offer walk in flu clinics this year. Appointments must be booked in advance so please make sure to contact our Patient Services Team for an appointment.
If you are not able to attend either of the clinics on that day please do not worry, we will have additional slots following the above planned clinics. Please speak to a member of our Patient Services Team who will be able to advise you and book an appointment for you.
This vaccination is made available to all aged 65 and over and it is the most effective vaccine currently available for this group.
Why do we need Flu Vaccine?
Each year, a vaccine is developed to protect against the strains of flu virus that are expected to be most prevalent that winter. This 'flu jab' is used not just in the UK, but throughout the Northern hemisphere. It gives good protection (70-80% reliability) against all strains of flu included in the vaccination and lasts for a year.
You should check now to see if you or members of your family are in an at-risk group.
Want to know more about the conditions that put you at higher risk of flu, read our leaflet here.
If you are in an at-risk group and have flu-like symptoms, or if your flu symptoms are getting worse, see your GP. These groups are more likely to suffer complications from flu. You may be prescribed antiviral medication.
Antibiotics are not prescribed for flu as they have no effect on viruses. However, occasionally it may be necessary to treat complications of flu, especially serious chest infections or pneumonia.

Our Year 2 A.B.
For any of those who went into a coma around January of last year and just woke up, let me explain this new era after Bush (A.B.), variously known as "this is our moment," "we are the ones we've been waiting for," and the era when the "planet healed" and the seas "receded."
In sum, in the year 2 AB, your fossilized world thankfully no longer quite exists. Global warming is "climate change" and its data is "interpreted" rather than blindly "followed." Natural calamities like the old Katrina hurricane were really man-caused disasters; and man-caused disasters like the new BP spill and the federal reaction to it were really unpreventable natural disasters. Bill Clinton, John Edwards, and Al Gore are men-of-the-people feminists who need comfort, not tawdry womanizing mansion-aficionados.
"Greatest Achievement"
Iraq is no longer "lost," but the greatest achievement of the Obama administration. Somehow its messy politics are proof of real democracy. Indeed, at last our influential intellectuals can talk of real "politics" going on in Baghdad.
Surging is now good. So is the architect of that policy, Gen. Petraeus. If any Republicans were now to suggest in a confirmation hearing that the Afghan ground commander "punted" on the truth, or that his testimony "required a suspension of disbelief," or that Afghanistan should be trisected, well, he would be rightly castigated as a subversive, rather than praised as "patriotic." Partisanship now stops at the shoreline.
The IED is on page 18 where it belongs; the discounted General Betray Us ads at the New York Times are filed away.
"Closed" Is a State of Mind
Guantanamo Bay virtually closed; only the Republican Congress prevented it from really being closed in the archaic sense of actually being still open. Wanting to do something is far more important than mundanely doing it.
Predator targeted assassinations are as necessary and humane as three waterboarding incidents were not. I know that because Ivy League law deans are silent about, or have signed off on, the current targeted assassinations. After all, would you rather have water illegally poured down your throat, or legally be vaporized as if hit by lightning? We are not killing "terrorists" or "Islamists" in Waziristan; instead our "overseas contingency operations" are aimed at reminding Muslims that their own past contributions to science have led to breakthroughs like Hellfire missiles.
No Enemies, Plenty of Friends
No longer need we arbitrarily dub an Ahmadinejad, Assad, or a Chavez as "hostile" or a Colombia, India, Israel, Poland, or the Czech Republic intrinsically an "ally." Easy labels are gone; sophisticated reset analysis is back — about what we would expect when we drop the nonsense about being "exceptional" and instead contextualize to the world our own past sins from slavery to genocide to dropping the atomic bombs.
No one now falls for "neocon" propaganda, so we wisely keep mum about Iranian protestors and their supposed "democracy" or Honduras justices and their talk of "constitutional government" — at least when authentic progressive leaders are in jeopardy from reactionary capitalists. After all, why wait 234 years for a revolutionary American president, and then when we finally get him, waste that historical occasion by not bonding with other revolutionary leaders?
The People's "Law"
In the last two years, we have evolved also beyond the old Neanderthal notion of the "law," as if it were some moral notion engraved on stone tablets that "deserves" our "adherence." How quaint is that?
Instead, a higher moral calling now adjudicates legal obedience. Immigration law is a construct that at times can or cannot be followed, depending on the plight of those affected. Voting fraud is really a race and class issue: one man's "fraud" is another man's "activism." Big polluters can be invited to contribute billions to remedy their errors — and, lo and behold, they most certainly will if asked properly! Contracts? What contracts?
Spurring Wealth
The smart way of fine-tuning the economy is to remind businesses that government and the people are its masters. When money-grubbing surgeons lop limbs or Las Vegas lures in the poor to blow their money, they will be called on it, and then work doubly hard to set things right with us, the people. Barack Obama and his business advisors know far better than speculators which creditor, in fact, deserves to be paid back, and which does not deserve to be paid back at Chrysler.
Taxes Are Good for Some
Few until now understood how fair tax rates — like 40% on income, 10% in some states on income, and, hopefully, 15.3% for FICA on all income, and new health surcharges — encourage social stability, spur entrepreneurship, and create wealth. Ask Timothy Geithner or Charles Rangel. Deficits, debts, and "borrowing" were just linguistic gymnastics, since money itself is a construct, a sort of record-keeping for those who hold power over others. Zero interest, "stimulus," and "redistributive change" far better locate capital in our lives. The more trillions we borrow, the more we blinked and failed to create the necessary "stimulus."
There are no longer things like a "jobless recovery" — that archaic term that once upon a time in 2004 referred to 6%, not 9+% unemployment. Indeed, there is really no longer such a thing as an unemployment rate at all. "Jobs saved" and "jobs not lost" are the better barometers, in that they require thought, reflection, interpretation, and imagination.
$800 billion in borrowed money saved millions of jobs; that unemployment did not stay below 8% as promised is a symptom of the same old DC "gottacha" game that relies on abstract numbers not the lives of real people. Instead, we live in an age of thanksgiving that someone prevented us from falling into 15% unemployment or even higher.
Racial Healing
In this brave new age of A.B., racial relations have vastly improved. We know that because there is a new honesty and candor about a once taboo subject. The attorney general bravely called for a novel conversation and then single-handedly initiated that by calling us "cowards" — a cry from the heart for dialogue.
The president raised the difficult issue by carefully reminding us how "stupidly" our police act toward African-Americans — as he subtly elaborated on his earlier candor about the proverbial "typical white person" and those lower class whites who are xenophobic and cling to their guns. So we at last have a "wise Latina" at the Supreme Court, and had a "green czar" who was bold enough not just to explain how mass murdering was a largely white phenomenon, but how George Bush was in on 9/11.
The only bad thing about the new age of "After Bush" is that he never quite left. $1.7 trillion annual deficits? Bush did it. Another $3 trillion plus to the deficit? All Bush. GM bailout? Bush's fingerprints. Afghanistan heats up? Bush again. A ruined Gulf? Bush and his oil cronies. Falling polls for President Obama? The legacy of the Bush racism. Guantanamo open? Bush's people. Higher taxes? The Bush deficits.
In the age of "After Bush," everything that is now good comes despite him, everything that is still bad is because of him. Remember that — and that is all ye need to know.
PS: Kaiser Postmortem
The hike on Saturday, July 10 up Kaiser Peak went especially well — perfect weather, magnificent views, few other hikers, the Huntington Lake regatta below, and only a snow patch or two on the way. About 28 of us met at the pack station base camp; we introduced ourselves, and then headed up to the summit at 10,300 feet. Everyone was relaxed; some wanted to go a 1/4, 1/2, or 3/4 of the way up, and explored on their own along the way.
About half of us in a long column after 3.5 hours made it to the top, talked, and enjoyed the view — and were all down by about 2-230 PM. About 20 of us went over to my house nearby and had tri-tip and beverages. After that shared ordeal, there were no strangers, and we all had a good time and more frank discussion.
I think we will do it again next year. I am always encouraged how well-read and well-informed readers are; and to meet them reminds me that things are not all that bad when so many know so much, even if they are now so worried about the commonwealth.
One topic that seem to reoccur, especially at the summit and its vistas: we all commented on the ingenuity and daring of our predecessors who a century ago built the Shaver/Huntington/Florence/Edison dams and hydro-electrical network with a fraction of the material wealth and technology that we now have on hand. The system resulted in beautiful lakes, power, and is largely unchanged a century later, so sturdy was their construction, so brilliant was their vision, and so hard was their work. There was a brief note of melancholy as we compared their vision of California to ours.


I'm also pointing out that we've got someting pretty nice in Gaviglio. His career AAA line of 1.24 WHIP, 8.8 H/9, 2.4 BB/6.6 K/9 has translated to 1.21, 8.4, 2.5 and 5.9. He's not smoke & mirroring it, either. He stays in control, pounds the edges, and doesn't buckle. He's giving up 1.9 HR/9, but he's been a rock in 4 of his 5 starts. In those 4 starts, he's thrown 22 innings, allowing 19 hits and just 3 ER's. I've said that Gallardo was going to get lapped by Moore this season and now he's been lapped by Gaviglio, too.
The umpire spent his first ten blown strike calls ---> causing Dr. D to question the assumption that baseball is worthwhile.
So did Ga-Vig, renege (on his will to win) and get blown up for "just one bad five-run innning" in MLBtm style? No, he laid down the best harrying fire he could while backing into a 2-run, 3-IP start to the game. Will guaranTEE you that the Mariners luvved luvved luvved the way Gaviglio battled. It was the kind of thing that gets you an extra four starts in your trial, just that makeup alone, as the umpire burned him call after call against All-Stars.
Then about inning 4, Gaviglio found his real good command and LOCKED THEM DOWN. A playoff-worthy performance the second, third time through the lineup.
Not to mention his makeup. So Gaviglio has our attention. Now, let's not get carried away: for a fastball-slider pitcher Gaviglio doesn't really throw hard enough. Not surprisingly, his strikeout rate is poor and his SwStr% is, in 20-odd innings, even worse. But that's backwards-looking. His offspeed pitch is genuinely confusing and last night he had the 6 strikeouts / 6 innings to show for it. Gaviglio is not Ryan Dempster but neither is it like his stuff is marshmallow-short.
Dr's RX = Gaviglio is a promising young rookie SP. He's got a real shot to establish himself as a 100-ERA starting pitcher.
In terms of being a DECENT+ closer, he was never a concern in any way. Except that you didn't want to risk a 2,000-Yard Stare. That was all. In terms of becoming THE BEST closer that Seattle ever saw, he wasn't much of a concern either; the only thing that was going to stop this -- in the very near term -- was an injury.
In Thursday's win, Diaz was back to tsunami status, throwing one of the best games he OR ANY OTHER PITCHER has ever thrown.
Carrera: 97-99 fastballs (with a 2-run lead, can't walk him) thusly. Jam - Jam - Ladder - paint low-away - on a 2-2 count 99 MPH challenge, popup.
Goins: 98 hi, 100 lo, 100 hi ... slider garbage swing. ANY slider was a strikeout there, but this one started top kneecaps and dropped to shins. Wham.
Pillar: 98 letters. 100 letters. 101 letters, good night. Here is the video of that last 101 MPH fastball.
Threw out a runner at home in a tie game late, and then knocked in the GWRBI. As a starting center fielder, he is solid to good - a miracle defender, chips in some with the bat, uses his legs to our advantage. He's on pace for about 3 WAR.
Dipoto swapped out Tyler Cloyd for Emilio Pagan in the 29-man roster setup that is gaining even more force around baseball. Hey, you can't bring a knife to a gunfight. Every series you select a 12th pitcher who is on fire at AAA and who is a good matchup. Go Jerry.
Mike Zunino continues to give us vertigo. Right now we're back in excitement mode. He's still red-hot: the last 7 days he's still slugging .688 with a nice 0.50 EYE. If the Mariners "lengthen their lineup" including Zuumball, there is just no telling what kind of damage they could do. Maniger, Zuumball and a heating-up Jarrod Dyson, to say nothing of Sudden Jean, and it could be arena baseball at Safeco.
Ben Gamel's numbers remain excellent -- an .890 OPS the last two weeks -- but there are lizards in the cellar. Those last two weeks he has a horrific 2:14 EYE. He remains an exciting young player, as opposed to a foregone conclusion like Maniger or a can't-miss contributor like Guillermo Heredia and his magic glove.
Watch for that inner-third fastball from Miranda. When he's sticking the landing on those, he's a lockdown TOR. When he's not he's still a raw version of Drew Smyly. Miranda doesn't physically look like Smyly, in appearance or mechanics, but that goes to show how much we subconsciously look for comps who resemble one another physically. Their pitches sure fly the same.
The Mariners could go above .500 tonight and then they got Zeus tomorrow. Here is Bob Dutton's preview.
Gaviglio isn't a Maddux or Palmer, but he's shown enough to be, as you've sid, a likely reliable back end starter.. And if you don't have to go buy one of those, you can spend elsewhere. He's running a WHIP of 1.2; if he stays in that neighborhood (SSS, I know), he's a dandy cheap bauble. He's why you throw spaghetti against the wall. In '15 he ran a 1.36 WHIP for Tacoma. In '16 it was 1.16. This year it was 1.04. He's figured some small thing out, and it's mattered. If he can sustain a 6 K rate, that will be good enough.
I've said before that the book on Gamel is to tube a 1st pitch FB, because he takes it, almost every time. Last two game have been just like that. Ahead in the count, he's picky and looking for pitches to line. Behind in the count, he was vulnerable to the high fastball, but he's adjusted to that and is laying off more regularly. Now however it is the slider, down and in, that is his whiffing bane. If MLB pithcers are going to center cut the 1st pitch, knowing he won't go after it, then he's going to be fighting from behind a bunch, his K rate will climb and his BB raate will decline, as we're seeing.
I think he will make that adjustment. Edgar/Cano etc, must have his ear some.
But as much as I like him, he hasn't homered in over a month, playing everyday, and I wish he would. His single the other way last night was a pretty thing, but he needs to dent a wall or two, just to keep pitchers from getting too comfortable.
Vs. RHP his EYE is .50 (16/33) with a 25% K rate. Vs. LHP his EYE drops to .07 (1/15) with a 46% K rate. He's still hitting .265 and OPSing .701 vs. LHP, but he has room to grow, there.
There's nothing here that a couple of lead-off homers won't fix.
I'm afraid to believe in Zunino right now.
However very much I want to... he's just been such a knucklehead (in the lovable yet frustrating sense). Maybe we don't need him to be a solid hitter, with that defense and all... but goodness knows he's capable.


Exchange programs allow visitors to arrive in the US with J-1 and J-2 visas in order to exchange in cultural and professional exchanges. In many cases, such programs are a great opportunity both for foreign nationals and US residents to learn about other cultures and to develop skills. Holders of J-1 and J-2 visas can remain in the US for the term of the exchange program and must then leave to their home countries for two years before they can come back to the US. If a former J-1 and J-2 visa holder wishes to return before this two year period, they need to file USCIS form I-612 (Application for Waiver of the Foreign Residence Requirement (under Section 212(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as Amended) to have this restriction removed.

Noomi Rapace Scintillating in New Prometheus Trailer (Watch)
TheImproper 7 years ago No Comments
Ridley Scott's much heralded return to science fiction with "Prometheus" gets another tease, in more ways than one. Noomi Rapace features prominently in a new clip promoting the IMAX 3D version of the film.
Rapace stars with Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green and Charlize Theron. They make up the crew of the spaceship Prometheus in the year 2085.
The crew explore the planet of an advanced alien civilization while searching for the origins of humanity. But it's a truly alien world occupied by creatures that were featured in the 1979 movie "Alien."
The trailer pulls double duty. It not only touts the 3D version, but also acts as a teaser for a planned 2:33 minute trailer that's expected to debut
today (Mar. 17) at WonderCon. Like previous trailers, the new clip is a visual feast of special effects sprinkled with moments of sheer terror.
Rapace, who was immortalized in the Swedish version of "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," gets most of the screen time and looks ravishingly hot as she battles unseen creatures that scare the bejezus out of her.
The clips seem carefully designed to tantalize without giving away key plot elements. What is known is that the film is supposed to be a prequel to "Alien," but only in that it borrows the theme and space monsters.
The film is also significant because it marks Scott's return to the genre. He followed up "Alien" with the 1982 film "Blade Runner" which cemented him as a leading director. But he veered from there into more terrestrial fare. Check out the trailer below.
