A Trip to the 31st Floor of the Chrysler Building
The Chrysler Building, July 16, 2010. Photos: 16 Miles [more]
A view of Midtown Manhattan from the 31st floor of the Chrysler building
Alex Waterman performing
Back in April 2009, I saw Paul Morris, the former New York art dealer who helped start the Armory Show and now works for the art-fair conglomerate Merchandise Mart in Chicago, speak at the Fashion Institute of Technology on the future of the art industry. Asked to offer advice to aspiring gallery owners, he suggested a tantalizing idea: rent a space in the Empire State Building. There are rooms to spare there, rent is surprisingly affordable, and everyone will want to visit a space opening in the iconic building, he argued.
Sometimes, great ideas are floating around in the air. Roughly a year after that talk, a regular art series has been initiated in a borrowed office on the 31st floor of another landmark Midtown skyscraper, the Chrysler Building, under the careful direction of enterprising curator Summer Guthery. Last Friday night, a few dozen guests entered the building's warm Art Deco lobby, boarded a wood-paneled elevator, and shot upstairs. Behind an open door, down an anonymous white hallway, a crowd of about thirty had gathered. They stared at a hypnotic video by Becca Albee showing a city street (a sort of reversal of Warhol's Empire), and — glancing at an Yves Klein image smartly commandeered by Kevin Regan — leapt gingerly out one window onto a small balcony, surveying the view as they waited for the evening's performances.
At around nine, artist Robert Snowden presented the night's first piece, reading a short story in the corner office. Onlookers perched on windowsills and sat on the thinly carpeted floor. A few closed their eyes, leaning their heads on the walls, as the sun set behind the neighboring buildings. Snowden described the unexpected arrival of a strange balloon in a town. "Some people claimed that they felt sheltered, warmed as never before," he read, energetic but deadpan. "While enemies of the balloon felt, or reported feeling, constrained. A very heavy feeling." Then silence. There would be no applause between movements.
Cellist Alex Waterman was up next, his instrument in his lap and a computer and mixer on a empty desk in front of him. The clatter of people walking came through his speakers, then some gentle ringing appeared, elevators perhaps. Had he recorded the day's activity down below? He began bowing his cello, playing double, triple, and quadruple stops in long, shifting drones for about twenty minutes. Occasionally he switched between bows, from the flexible version that facilitated those two-, three-, and four-note expanses to a tauter French bow, which allowed a more precise attack. Then he ended, to applause this time. The evening was over.
Descending that elevator to the grand lobby below, there was a sense that something momentous had taken place. It was, at least, unusual. Historically, these youthful, heady art happenings are supposed to occur on the edge of poverty, serving as harbingers of an impending wave of gentrification. Instead, we were leaving a building that defines a certain era of American ingenuity that seems to be reaching its end. The economy is still shaky, and New York remains as expensive as ever, a difficult place for artists to live. All of which is to say that things are a bit topsy-turvy in the city at the moment, culturally and otherwise. Or, as one dealer put it to me recently: "There is some sort of sadness here. Something is missing." That may be true, but events like the Chrysler Series suggest that is changing.

With a goal to become one of Australia's leading regional running events, NewRun is staged in the most iconic venues in Newcastle and offers plenty of opportunities to test your fitness around this beautiful coastal city. The event is proud to partner with local organisations including Surf Life Saving Clubs, and other running, sport and service clubs. Whether you are an elite runner looking for a new PB or just a novice runner looking for a fitness goal, this Festival of Health and Fitness in Newcastle has an event for you.
The event includes 5 distance with something for everyone!
Looking for a marathon PB, then this is it. This flat scenic course will traverse the Newcastle Harbour and Carrington basin. Starting on Wharf Rd, Queen Wharf the course will run east along wharf Rd and past Nobbys, towards Newcastle Baths. The course does not go onto the Breakwall. Marathon runners will stay on the city side of Shortland Esplanade. At the gate of Newcastle Baths runners will turn and head back to Queens Wharf and run toward Argyle St. At Argyle St they will enter the Honeysuckle Broad Walk and follow this along the Harbour's edge until Worth Place. For 2019, due to construction work, they will divert to run west along the Honeysuckle Drive footpath and then back onto the Foreshore at a marshal point. Runners will then follow the footpath past the Marina and behind the Fish Co-op to join the footpath along Throsby Creek, over the bridge and around to the rowing club. Runners then return to Queens Wharf. This is one lap. You must complete 3 laps. Relay team members will tag their team member and continue. The course is 50% on closed roads and 50% on wide footpaths, where runners will have right of way. Marshals will monitor high traffic areas. Do not be surprised by the elevation map. This course is flat the whole way. There will be timing check points at both turns and the start/lap area.
Starting from Queens Wharf the course is essentially the 10km Hill to Harbour Course in reverse to get to Bar Beach and then the 10km Hill to Harbour course from Bar Beach. The additional 1.1km is achieved at the start of the event by running 550m on Wharf Rd east toward Nobbys Beach and then turning and coming back to the start line. From that point you have exactly 20km to run. The start and the finish line are parallel, with the start on the road . The Hill to Harbour course is below, and it makes more sense to explain this course, than explaining the out and back sections. Note that the only section that is different to the main regular course is that we are now back on the south Newcastle Beach cliff and we will also run onto the new footpath at Newcastle Beach to allow East end traffic ot exit. This is impossible to avoid give Light Rail construction. All sections that may seem complicated due to the construction works will be fenced and marshaled so they will be simple to navigate at your blistering pace!!
Starting from Empire Park just up the road from the famous Merewether Beach break, the event lines up on Memorial Drive just past the Cooks Hill Surf Club and runs straight up towards the Strzelecki lookout. It climbs for 1.8km and then levels out to heads down- hill, entering beautiful King Edward Park. Winding through the Park, the run heads to the middle entry past the famous 530 runners drink station where it heads down the old road into the Gardens and then down past the south Newcastle cliff and past the skate park then up to the intersection with Shortland Explanade. At this point (*due to the Light rail construction we will run onto the footpaths for 400m and then rejoin the road north of Zarra St. (This is to allow residents to exit and enter the east end of Newcastle). The course then passes some classic Newcastle café's, hotels and then past the historic Newcastle Ocean Baths. The course then approaches Nobby's Beach (home of the Pasha Bulka for a while) turns right at the Nobby's Surf Club House and towards the Macquarie Pier, better known as Nobby's Break-wall. It is then an out and back run of 3km and back to the surf club for a stroll down the Wharf Rd passing Customs House, old Newcastle Rail Station, Harry's Café D Wheels and the Queens Wharf complex. Turning right the course then heads into the Honeysuckle area for a out and back section to Worth Place right next to the Harbour and then returns to Market St Lawns opposite Queens Wharf and a great spectator crowd ready to bring you home. Newcastle Herald Hill to Harbour touches much of what Novocastians love about Newcastle.
The course starts from Queens Wharf and runs East along Wharf Rd until just before Nobbys and turns left into the new Camp Shortland 'Super Cars" track. The course follows the track around and then back to the Nobbys roundabout . Runners will turn around the roundabout and run back to Queens Wharf where they continue west to Argyle St and then enter the Honeysuckle foreshore and run to a turn point near Worth Place. They then return along Honeysuckle foreshore and back to the finish line on Wharf Rd opposite Queens Wharf. The course is very flat and very fast.
This event will be an approx 2km run from Queens Wharf on Wharf Rd east until Watt St Roundabout then return to run past Queens Wharf until a turn point at Argyle St and back, finishing in the big finish chute to a massive spectator crowd. There is great access for family and friends to cheer the children along. There is no map available for this course.

Introduction to Ciqikou Ancient Town (磁器口古镇)
Situated on the bank of Jialing River, not far from its confluence with the mighty Yangtze River, Ciqikou is an ancient town and formerly known as Long Yin. It was named as Ciqikou because this town had supplied large amount of porcelain dating during Qing and Ming Dynasty.
With an area of 1.5 square km with a population of 18,000 people, Ciqikou ancient town is a miniature of Chongqing as well as one of the few ancient towns located near the city center of big cities in China – only 14 km away from downtown Chongqing.
Chongqing itself has undergone changes over the centuries, changes that have not been reflected in Ciqikou with the consequence that the village conveys an impression of what Chongqing would have been like in the distant past. This fact has been recognized by the State Council and in 1998 Ciqikou was listed as a protected cultural site.
History of Ciqikou
Ciqikou can be dated back to more than 1700 years. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368-1911) it has a great reputation as its production of porcelain. Until now, over twenty old kiln sites have been discovered there. It is because of the importance of the porcelain industry that the name has been changed from Long Yin to Ciqikou which had being translated means Porcelain Village.
However, the village was also an important supply post for shipping on the river, a fact that explains why there are so many shops lining the twelve lanes paved with their large flag stones that form the main routes. Here you will find many outlets for craftwork, groceries and the like as well as a horologist, photography supplies, drugstore and a tempting supply of roasted nuts and seeds. As one would expect there are also many teashops and restaurants to cater for the many visitors who come to see something of a way of life that has existed here for so many centuries.
Things to Do in Ciqikou Ancient Town
The three highlights of the Ciqikou old town are the teahouses, the foods and the Shu Embroidery workshops.
Surprisingly, there are more than a hundred teahouses each with their own characteristics. The locals like to chat or meet friends in the teahouses. Therefore, the teahouses offer the opportunity for visitors to meet the locals and become acquainted with the unique folk opera like Sichuan Opera.
Ciqikou is also the real place for tasting local three famous dishes which include Maoxiewang (spicy duck blood), Qianzhangpi (bean curd sheets), and Yanju Peanuts (salted peanuts). All these are very highly recommended, you will not be disappointed and will soon come to realize why they are so popular.
Shu Embroidery in the Ciqikou old town is also famous. Shu embroidery, renowned for its superb workmanship, is one of the four famous embroidery styles of China. Don't forget get it when you travel in this old town.
It is often said that a visit to China is a cultural experience. This is never more true than when you visit a place such as Ciqikou where you will find the local residents dedicated to their traditional way of life, unaffected by modern influences to be found in the larger towns and cities. Above all, you will find a friendly welcome awaits you as the people of Ciqikou share their special way of life with you for the duration of your visit.

Ever go through those "what if…" regrets over lost dreams in you day-to-day life? Everything that seemed possible as a child: firefighter, president, ballet dancer, zoo keeper; all those careers decomposed into the hot, sticky place of our souls where we ruminate over what could have been.
What about a singer? Well, now is your chance to grab that childhood aspiration and turn it into your reality. The Voice, an Emmy Award NBC series that features unknown artists, is coming to DC. Close to our Washington DC Inn, open auditions will be held at the Walter E Washington Convention Center, June 7-8. This exciting TV show will sweep the district to find upcoming talent for "solo artists and duos that perform all types of music: pop, rock, R&B, hip-hop, alternative, latin, country, blues, indie."–nbcthevoice.com. After selected, competitors go into the first round of blind auditions—music coaches pick on voice alone. Teams are then set to battle each other with the same songs. The battle wraps up with only the strongest vocalists–who compete for their coach's final decision to take them to the last phase. The live shows are composed with these top talent stars singing their hearts away to take home the title of "The Voice" with a grand prize and recording contract. Visit The Voice for further information on how you can become a contestant.
DC is filled so much political ambition that creative talents are often ignored or suppressed. Be the one who tries something else. Your artistic abilities are too awesome to go unnoticed for another fiscal year!

February – What do you listen to while stitching?
4. Telltales sounds of the Small Boy getting up to mischief!
Let's talk about FlossTube though as it's the most stitchy related. I follow a number of FlossTubers now and have several favourites. Is it fair to pick out a couple? Probably not! Let's just say that three of my favourites are bloggers as well as YouTubers. I think there's something about knowing the person blogs as well as makes videos which makes me feel we have more in common.
This afternoon I was listening to Stitching Noni, so here's a link to her latest video.
Finally, I'm slowly updating the Happy Dance blog. When Photobucket wanted to charge us all to use their service they removed access to all our photos but then realised they weren't allowed to do that and put them back but with a nasty Photobucket watermark on. So I am gradually working through older blog entries and my Happy Dance blog to replace them all. It's not a fun task but it is nice to look at some older finishes!
I will have to go watch stitching Noni! I need to go edit my blog as I forgot to say what I listen to. Silly me!
That darned Photobucket really urked me when I came across the no access thing. I deleted all my photos from there and went to imgur. It's easy there and they won't try and charge you or keep you from your photos!
Alice is such a pretty finish.
Great work on everything. It all looks great. I just can't get into flosstube. That's okay it's not like I don't have enough to do with my time already.
Great finishes and love all of your projects Jo.
Lovely projects Jo! Congrats on your Alice finish and your Chat looks amazing on the hand dyed fabric. Happy stitching!
All the stitching is looking good and you are making really nice progress on several of them. I love the colors in the little spring piece. I listen to floss tube when my DH has things on TV I do not really like. That gives me several slots each week! He is a big tv watcher!!
Great progress of your lovely stitching .
I spot a tiny bit of a yellow theme this month with your progress on your two BAPs and the fabric for Nest Egg. Congrats on the two finishes too.
I love your Nest Egg piece. Congrats on two finishes this month.
You've made great progress on the map and the goose and I love the colours on the Summer Typography...so many lovely things to look at!

Federal Medical Marijuana Legal Challenge Bolstered by New Veterans Policy Directive
Posted by Americans for Safe Access on July 28, 2010
San Francisco, CA -- Medical marijuana patient advocacy group Americans for Safe Access (ASA) filed an important legal brief today in a Ninth Circuit case which aims to correct statements by the federal government that "marijuana has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States." The ASA legal filing points to a policy directive issued last week by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), recognizing medical marijuana and distinguishing it from other illegal controlled substances. In its brief, ASA contends that the VHA directive bolsters advocates' arguments that marijuana does indeed have medical value.
"Recognition of marijuana's therapeutic benefits by a federal agency makes it more difficult for the government to argue against marijuana's medical value," said ASA Chief Counsel Joe Elford, who filed the notice with the court. "The government's reasons for maintaining an outdated and harmful position on medical marijuana are running out." In the July 22nd policy directive, the VHA reversed its position that medical marijuana is no different than other banned controlled substances, and instructed VA physicians that "patients participating in state medical marijuana programs must not be denied VHA services."
The Department of Veterans Affairs Under Secretary for Health Dr. Robert Petzel also clarified in a July 6th letter to veteran advocate Michael Krawitz that, "If a veteran obtains and uses medical marijuana in a manner consistent with state law, testing positive for marijuana would not preclude the Veteran from receiving opioids for pain management." The letter further stated that, "Standard pain management agreements should draw a clear distinction between the use of illegal drugs, and legal medical marijuana." ASA has received numerous reports of veterans being denied pain medication for refusing to discontinue their use of medical marijuana. In many cases, the therapeutic use of marijuana has significantly diminished veterans' need for pharmaceutical medication.
ASA filed its lawsuit in February of 2007 in an attempt to correct the government's position on medical marijuana. After the challenge was denied by the U.S. District Court, ASA filed an appeal in April of 2008 and is still awaiting a decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal. ASA's lawsuit was preceded by an administrative petition filed in 2005 under the Data Quality Act, a law passed during the Clinton Administration to ensure that the government bases its policy decisions on sound science and not politics.
According to Krawitz's group, Veterans for Medical Marijuana Access, more than 100,000 veterans, or 27% of veterans treated by the VA, have been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Based on reports received by ASA, PTSD is one of the most common medical conditions that veterans treat using medical marijuana.

A study published in the journal 'Oral Oncology' warns that e–cigarettes too can damage cells in a way that could lead to cancer. The study undertaken by researchers from the University of California reports that e–cigarettes, often marketed as a safer alternative to regular cigarettes may damage cells even without nicotine.
There aren't many researches on the effect of e–cigarettes and hence, Californian researchers created an extract from the vapour of e–cigarettes to treat human cells in petri dish. In the ensuing research, it was discovered that treated cells were more likely to show DNA damage and die as compared to the untreated ones. The cells showed multiple damages including DNA strand breaks.
DNA is composed of double helix, which has two long strands of molecules that intertwine and when one or both of these strands break apart and the repair process doesn't work right, the stage is set for cancer. In addition, the affected cells were also more likely to launch into programmed cell death or cell injury known as apoptosis and necrosis.

Twin Rivers Baptist Church to mark anniversary Sunday
WHIPPLE — Twin Rivers Baptist Church, 110 D.A.V. Road, will celebrate its 22nd anniversary during Sunday services Sunday.
The day's services begin during Sunday school at 9:30 a.m. with classes for all ages. The morning worship service is 10:30 a.m. and followed by a carry-in dinner in the church's Family Center.
An afternoon service will be conducted following the meal. There will be no evening service.
Twin Rivers Baptist had its first worship service May 5, 1996, in the Ohio Valley Room at the Lafayette Hotel in Marietta with James P. Rushing Jr. as the founding pastor. The church's chartering service was a few weeks later on June 9.
Prior to the purchase of the current church property on D.A.V. Road, services were in the Marietta High School auditorium, the Betsey Mills Club and the Washington County Career Center.
The church purchased nearly seven acres on D.A.V. Road off Ohio 821 in August 1996. A groundbreaking ceremony for the new church building was conducted Oct. 26, 1997. The first worship service in the newly constructed church was Oct. 4, 1998.
A recent major building project for Twin Rivers Baptist was a $1 million Family Center addition. A ground breaking for the new addition was June 28, 2015, and a dedication service for it was conducted on June 5, 2016.
Jeff Baumer has served as church pastor since December 2008.
Twin Rivers Baptist Church is on D.A.V. Road, just off Ohio 821, and is located just 300 yards north of Exit 6 of Interstate 77.

Der Bancroft-Punkt ist der Punkt, an dem sich die Sättigungsdampfdruckkurven zweier Stoffe kreuzen. Oberhalb des Punkts hat eine andere Komponente den höheren Dampfdruck  als unterhalb des Punkts. Es wird auch von einer Inversion der Dampfdrücke gesprochen. Der Bancroft-Punkt tritt nur bei Komponenten auf, deren Sättigungsdampfdrücke sich in einer ähnlichen Größenordnung bewegen.

Die Bedeutung des Bancroft-Punkts liegt darin, dass er ein deutliches Indiz für azeotropes Verhalten eines binären Gemischs der beiden Stoffe ist.

Construction is underway on HHHunt's new senior project in Chesterfield
Published September 29, 2015 by Paula C. Squires
HHHunt has started construction on Spring Arbor of Salisbury Memory Care in Midlothian.
This $16 million project in Chesterfield County represents the company's first community dedicated solely to memory care. Scheduled to open in fall 2016, the 48,275-square-foot building is adjacent to Spring Arbor of Salisbury, one of HHHunt's six existing senior-living communities in Virginia.
HHHunt opened its first senior living community in North Carolina in 1992. Today the company owns and manages 21 communities in Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland, with more in various stages of development.
"The demand for memory care has been increasing at a rapid pace," Sally Sperberg, executive director for Spring Arbor of Salisbury, said in a statement. "This new community will be able to accommodate 48 residents …"
According to HHHunt, the community will focus on resident activities, such as art and music programs.

I think we all know that by now. That is pretty much how I ended up in this biz. I love old stuff. I love making stuff pretty. I love collecting.
Now that we got that out of the way, let's talk about my wedding centerpieces.
For months leading up to the big day, I collected silver water pitchers and teapots preferably tarnished. A couple of antique champagne buckets as well. In fact, I collected more than I needed. Because I am a hoarder.
The shapes and sizes of the centerpieces alternated on each table with the floral palette being the commonality.
I already had a growing collection of vintage aqua blue mixing bowls. This is my mantel from last summer proudly displaying the collection which was growing rapidly at the time.
The color scheme was just right for our wedding so I was determined to incorporate my personal collections into our centerpieces.
We had 20 guest tables, 4 food tables and like 10 cocktail tables, I think. In my mind, they all needed to be adorned with fresh flowers. Arranged by me. Large and small.
Was I nuts? Maybe. I like to think I came to my senses though when I came up with the brilliant idea of only arranging fresh flowers in half of the containers – mostly the silver pieces plus some blue ball jars which coordinated with our wedding invitation.
My solution to remaining sane was to arrange the other half of the centerpieces the weekend prior to the wedding. I used flowering plants instead of fresh flowers since they would keep easily and that way I could divide and conquer on the centerpiece front.
Each mixing bowl was filled with pink flowering vinca, trailing vines and succulents. Topped with moss and Cape May wine corks.
Bonus, most of these plants have been flowering in my garden all summer. The wedding centerpieces were merely a layover for them!
Another collection of yellow McCoy planters in 3 sizes were displayed on the food stations.
So that left the larger vessels which were arranged just a few days before the wedding, packed up and then driven across state lines. I think I successfully pulled of the task.
So I am going to tell you the secret to pulling off arranging your own wedding centerpieces without going insane.
I was not committed to specific flowers, only a color scheme. I arrived at the wholesale florist that particular day, 3 days before the grand event, and did what I do best.
Lilacs were in season so I started there and then built a springy palette around it.
Having worked in flower shops for years, I know the old requests of "no mums or carns. No babies breath." I grew to dislike all of those common flowers during my florist tenure. But guess what, I got over it. I actually like these and as Carrie Bradshaw once noted, pink carnations are making a comeback. Yes, still. I'm fond of the hot pink minis so into the arrangements they went.
And the spin on mums? Sunflower-esque pom pom mums. Both these and the mini carnations are great filler flowers.
I took my selections home to my kitchen turned floral studio and got to work filling antique champagne buckets, ice buckets, ball jars, silver water pitchers, tea pots and a few smaller mason jars to don the cocktail tables.
My to-do list was mostly completed at this point in the wedding planning process. Had it not been, I don't know that I could have pulled it off.
This tip is also two-fold. You have to be organized from the beginning as it relates to collecting your vessels. See: hoarding.
Honestly, DIYing these centerpieces was probably the most zen part of wedding planning for me. Other than the spa, of course.
If you are a DIYing bride with some floral design abilities, I have faith that you can tackle your own centerpieces too! If not, you can always ask your florist to use your own collected vessels and vases to personalize your centerpieces.
Next up…Ryan's secret to getting the mini chalkboard table numbers to stand on their own. And if you missed it, check out details on incorporating atlases into your tablescape here.
This is so pretty and I love the flowers in the mason jars without the lid. Hope you don't mind if I "borrow" that idea!
Thanks for the complement! Please do use it!

Sagging Nets need more from Deron Williams
By Tim Bontemps
December 29, 2013 | 7:06pm
DeAndre Jordan injury forcing Nets to get 'creative'
Kyrie Irving doubles down on Nets needs with 'stay the f--k out' stance
ESPN analyst threatens to fight Nets fan over Kyrie Irving criticism
SAN ANTONIO — Following all of the headline-grabbing moves this summer, from hiring Jason Kidd to trading for Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to signing Andrei Kirilenko, everything kept coming back to the same thing: the Nets are Deron Williams' team.
Kidd said repeatedly Williams would be the "engine" that would propel this high-priced roster, while Pierce said Williams was going to be a legitimate top-five MVP candidate. But, like so many other things about these Nets, Williams hasn't come close to living up to those lofty expectations.
After spending virtually all of training camp nursing a sprained right ankle suffered during a September workout, followed by missing 11 games with a sprained left ankle, Williams is averaging 12.7 points and 7.2 assists through 19 games — far from the MVP-caliber numbers Pierce and many others expected from him, just as the Nets have fallen far short of their own expectations and everyone else's this season.
That includes Williams 14 points and six assists in the Nets' 105-91 loss to the Pacers Saturday night in Indianapolis, the fifth loss in six games for the Nets, and their third in four games since Brook Lopez was lost for the season with a fracture in his right foot.
After the Nets were blown out by those same Pacers Monday night in Brooklyn, Williams stood inside the locker room and said he needed to do more in the wake of Lopez's season-ending injury.
"I need to play better," Williams said. "I need to be more aggressive for us to have a chance, especially with Brook going down."
But when Williams was asked if he'd been doing that recently after appearing to play tentatively throughout Saturday's loss, Williams' response was to the point.
"No," he said.
When asked what needs to happen for that to change, he responded, "I just have to be more aggressive."
The Nets could certainly use more from their franchise point guard, given they are without their All-Star center for the remainder of the season, while his backup, Andray Blatche, is away from the team for personal reasons for at least Tuesday's game against the Spurs and Thursday's in Oklahoma City. Kirilenko remains sidelined with back spasms.
But when asked after Saturday's game whether he's getting enough from Williams specifically, Kidd said he needed more from everyone, not just his floor general.
"I need everybody to be better," Kidd said. "We can only do it as a team and it's not going to be one person. It can't be just Deron. It can't be just KG or Paul. It's got to be the whole team on a nightly basis, and right now we're not getting that."
Getting improved play from Williams, however, would be a pretty good place to start, as he and the Nets try to figure out exactly what is causing a season that not long ago had so much promise to go so far off the rails.
"I think everything's a work in progress right now," Williams said. "We're not winning basketball games. Until then, I think everything is a work in progress."

Nets rewind: Loss to Indy proves Paul Pierce needs to star...


My experience doing volunteer work through European Voluntary Service (EVS) was simply phenomenal. I had the amazing opportunity to volunteer in Tirana, Albania with the organisation PVN.
There I worked mainly in schools and centre's with Romani children and children in street situations organising activities and providing English learning support. The work we did there was always engaging and productive. The children were amazing, all incredibly friendly and eager to participate in any activities that were organised by PVN which made the experience enjoyable but also more worthwhile.
The wonderful thing about having done my EVS in Albania was that I had plenty of free time to travel and really discover the country. During my time there I was able to explore Albania safely and easily both on my own and with the other volunteers.
I managed to visit nearly every hidden gem the capital Tirana had to offer and while also visiting other places like the beautifully historical town of Berat situated a few hours away from Tirana and yet an unbelievably cheap trip. This was also the case for a trip a group of us took to Kruja a breath-taking town nestled halfway up one of the many mountains scattered around Albania.
Throughout my time there I was able to partake in events outside of PVN. One particular event was a 2km night light run to raise awareness of the sustainable development goals organised by the United Nations. This was an unreal event and I was elated to have been able to be part of it.
Throughly I had once in a lifetime experience and would definitely recommend doing an EVS. It was a wonderful way to learn about another culture and develop new skills while contributing in some way and having a great support system behind you throughout the experience.

— лайт-новел, аниме и манга в жанре юри. Автор оригинального сюжета — Сакурако Кимино, графика — Намути Такуми. Сюжет рассказывает об отдалённой школе для девочек, между которыми развиваются отношения.

Сюжет
Нагиса Аой, только что перешедшая в новую школу, идя по малознакомой территории, замечает красивую и в то же время вызывающе дерзкую старшеклассницу, которая внезапно целует её. Как выясняется Сидзума Ханадзоно — «королева школы» и оказывает этим странным поступком Нагисе невиданную честь.

Мир

Место действия
Действие аниме происходит на территории, принадлежащей трем школам: Академии Св. Миатору, Академии Св. Спика и Академии Ле Рим. Они расположены на Холме Астрая, сакральном месте, куда запрещён доступ мужчинам. Также при школах есть общежитие Итиго-Ся (яп. 苺舎"клубничный дом"), общая библиотека, крытый Зимний Сад и католический храм. На территории действуют строгие правила: введен комендантский час с 6 часов вечера, никакое мероприятие не может быть проведено без обсуждения его с 4-5 ученицами: президентами школьного совета от каждой академии и некоронованными королевами школ — Этуаль (обычно королев 2, но во время событий аниме была только 1) и многое другое.
 Академия Святого Миатору — школа для девушек, в которую перевелась главная героиня. Ученицы данной академии носят черные платья до колен с кружевными манжетами и воротниками, а также зелёный галстук. Летом ученицы Миатору носят не чёрное, а зелёное платье. Основной упор академия делает на соблюдение традиций, которые должны почитать все ученицы. Например, к таким традициям относятся знакомство всех новоприбывших с Этуаль, назначение младших учениц помощницами и другое. От учениц требуется отличное воспитание и знание французского языка. Эта школа постоянно соперничает с Академией Св. Спика во всех начинаниях, в том числе на заседаниях школьного совета и выборах Этуаль.
Цвет академии — зелёный.
 Академия Святого Спика — основной конкурент Академии Святого Миатору. Девушки, обучающиеся в данной школе обязаны носить строгую школьную форму — белую юбку и пиджак с золотой каймой, а также клетчатый бант на шее. Академия Св. Спика делает упор на обучение в области различных искусств, в особенности скульптуры и музыки. Также в Спике учится много успешных спортсменок, выступающих на соревнованиях, существуют много спортивных кружков, конный клуб. Корпус академии славится своими барельефами и другими украшениями. При академии действует церковный хор, задачей которого выступать перед аудиторией всех трёх школ с различными гимнами.
Цвет академии — синий.
 Академия Ле Рим — третья школа, о которой известно меньше всего. Школьная форма, принятая в академии — клетчатая юбка, розовый корсет и бежевый кардиган. В обучении делается упор на эстетику и искусство. В них существует кружок косплея, костюмов, в Ле Риме учатся хорошие актрисы. Ученицы школы веселые и приветливые. В свои кружки принимают учениц из других школ. В вечном споре двух других школ придерживается политики невмешательства.
Цвет академии — красный.

Этуаль
Своеобразной особенностью мира Strawberry Panic! является деятельность Этуаль. Этуаль — две самые почитаемые и уважаемые ученицы-старшеклассницы, представляющие все три школы. Однако кроме уважения и популярности они получают и массу обязанностей. Среди них чтение молитвы вслух перед каждым общим приёмом пищи, регулирование деятельности студсовета и внеклассной деятельности всех трёх школ, а также уход за Зимним Садом и почетная встреча и награждение победителей спортивных мероприятий. Несмотря на то, что ученицы «знают своих героев в лицо», Этуаль носят отличительный знак — кулоны с синим или красным камнем каплевидной формы. Несмотря на то, что Этуаль обычно две, большую часть событий Этуаль является только одна ученица — Сидзума, так как вторая Этуаль (Каори Сакураги) умерла от болезни вскоре после избрания. Этуаль обычно избирают раз в три года на специальной церемонии. Выборы обычно проходят в несколько этапов: заявление (регистрация), испытание, собственно выборы и присуждение звания Этуаль.

Ученица, подходящая по критериям, становится кандидатом, но она может и отказаться. После выдвижения кандидат выбирает себе партнёра, которая станет Этуаль вместе с ней (в отличие от основного кандидата она не обязательно старшеклассница). Они вместе заявляют о своей кандидатуре на специальном собрании учениц школы. Испытание призвано отметить лучшую пару по спортивным достижениям и красоте вальсирования. На выборах ученицы анонимно голосуют за понравившуюся пару. На присуждении звания Этуаль объявляют победителей и выдают кулоны (основному кандидату обычно синий, а его партнёру — красный). Избранные Этуаль сохраняют должность до окончания обучения.

Несмотря на то, что Этуаль представляют все три школы, Академия Ле Рим никогда не выдвигала своих кандидатов на должность Этуаль. Поэтому основная борьба разворачивается между оставшимися двумя школами. Как отмечала Миюки Рокудзё, президент студсовета Академии Св. Миатору, именно их академия очень долго лидировала в выборах Этуаль, что значит на Нагису и Тамао была возложена двойная ответственность — представить школу и удержать должность в пределах Миатору.

Студсовет
Всей внеклассной деятельностью руководит студенческий совет (студсовет). Члены студсовета должны выносить на рассмотрение любые проблемы, которые не касаются учёбы: это театральные постановки, праздники, регулировка работы клубов и другое. Как правило, в студсовет входит 11 человек: по три представителя от каждой школы (избранный президент и его два помощника) и 2 Этуаль, которые следят за деятельностью совета. Президенты совета от каждой школы обычно равны в праве голоса, однако президент от Ле Рима предпочитает использовать это право крайне редко, следуя политике невмешательства. Во время событий, описанных в аниме, манге и лайт-новелл, президентом от Миатору является Миюки Рокудзё (две её помощницы не называются по именам и обычно сопровождают Сидзуму как Этуаль), от Спики — Сион Томори (особое место занимают две её помощницы — Канамэ Кандзё и Момоми Киясики, в некоторых случаях выступающие как антагонисты), от Ле Рим — Тикару Минамото (имена помощниц называются, но особое место в сюжете не занимают).

Список персонажей
 — Главная героиня аниме. Её родители нашли работу за границей и уехали. В результате Нагиса переехала жить к бабушке, которая и посоветовала ей перевестись в Академию Св. Миатор. Последовав совету, девушка переводится на 4 курс (соответствует 1 классу общеобразовательной японской старшей школы и восьмому классу европейской школы) в середине семестра. Будучи по натуре энергичной и требовательной к себе, девушка тут же попала в неприятности: заблудившись на территории, она встретила прекрасную и дерзкую старшеклассницу, которая попыталась поцеловать Нагису, но та рухнула в обморок. Очнувшись, она знакомится со своей будущей соседкой по комнате Тамао Судзуми, которая рассказывает ей обо всём и даже представляет Этуаль, которой оказалась Сидзума, та самая незнакомка. Впоследствии постоянные попытки Сидзумы поцеловать её на глазах у всех сделали Нагису очень популярной. Да и сама Нагиса все больше узнавая Сидзуму становится к ней неравнодушна. Именно Нагиса уговорила Сидзуму не сбегать от обязанностей Этуаль, а честно принять и исполнять их. Впоследствии Нагиса помогала Сидзуме ухаживать за Зимним садом, что также входило в обязанности Этуаль. С тех пор они начали сближаться и в конце концов Нагиса была приглашена на виллу, принадлежащую Сидзуме. Там практически состоялся поцелуй, но Сидзума неадекватно себя повела, отчего Нагиса подозревает её в неискренности. Постепенно, в большей степени от президента студсовета Рокудзё, Нагиса узнает историю любви Сидзумы и второй Этуаль, Каори Сакураги, после смерти которой Сидзума не та, что прежде. Узнав эту печальную историю, Нагиса решила больше не встречаться с Сидзумой, отчего пребывала в глубокой депрессии. Из этого состояния её вывели верные друзья, а затем Нагиса согласилась участвовать в выборах Этуаль по совету Рокудзё (это, по её мнению, должно было окончательно освободить Нагису от Сидзумы). Проходя подготовку, отчасти под руководством все той же Сидзумы, она испытывает странное чувство. В конце концов, когда Сидзума врывается в зал в самый разгар и перед лицом учениц трёх школ признается Нагисе в любви, и та понимает, что влюблена в Сидзуму, и сбегает вместе с ней с церемонии. Нагиса не любит французский язык: до перевода в школу она просто не изучала его. В большинстве попыток изучить его она желала жить в мире, где этого языка вовсе не существует. Лишь желание угодить Сидзуме и оправдать её доверие заставили её ночами изучать французский и сдать экзамен. Также у Нагисы есть талант к актёрскому мастерству: при постановке пьесы «Кармен», написанной её подругой Тамао, Тикару, исполнявшая роль Кармен, повредила ногу, спасая Аманэ от позорного падения. В результате Нагиса заменила её и блестяще исполнила роль. Кроме того, она боится привидений.
 Сэйю: Маи Накахара

 — Одноклассница и соседка Нагисы по комнате. Эксцентричная, пышущая энтузиазмом четверокурсница академии Св. Миатору. Будучи на младших курсах (с 1 по 3) жила в комнате общежития одна и всегда мечтала о соседке. Поэтому, когда она узнала, что к ней подселяют Нагису, приложила все усилия, чтобы первой познакомится с ней. Однако это произошло не совсем так как она рассчитывала: заблудившаяся на территории Нагиса познакомилась с действующей Этуаль, Сидзумой. Несмотря на это, Тамао была первой, чьё имя Нагиса узнала. Также Тамао показала Нагисе территорию и рассказала о местных правилах. С первых минут знакомства проявляла к Нагисе излишний интерес: под предлогом заказа школьной формы (которая имеет стандартный фиксированный размер для каждого курса) узнала все параметры тела Нагисы и записала их в свой блокнот, а также в одной из серий, воспользовавшись тем, что Нагиса боится привидений, постоянно пугала Нагису, чтобы записать на диктофон её «полные страсти крики». Излишний интерес оправдал себя: впоследствии он развился в полноценную влюбленность. Впоследствии Тамао часто раздражалась и огорчалась, глядя на то, как Нагису постепенно губит любовь к Сидзуме. Поэтому она старалась всегда быть рядом с Нагисой в трудные моменты. Однако, когда они вместе с Нагисой подали заявки на участие в выборах Этуаль, быстро стала понимать, что Нагиса и Сидзума несмотря на все страдания, которые они причинили друг другу, практически идеальная пара. Именно Тамао подтолкнула Нагису в нужном направлении, когда Сидзума на глазах учениц трёх школ призналась ей в любви. Тамао очень талантливая ученица. Она является членом Литературного кружка и постоянно пишет поэмы. Её любимым писателем является Проспер Мериме, за чтением произведений которого её часто можно застать. Именно по новелле Мериме она создала заготовку для пьесы Итиго-Ся, а впоследствии написала и саму пьесу. Также она впоследствии изменила её, уменьшив некоторые роли без ущерба самому произведению. Также именно Тамао предложила заменить травмированную Тикару Нагисой, так как она постоянно наблюдала за репетициями Нагисы и Сидзумы и поняла, насколько Нагиса талантлива.
 Сэйю: Аи Симидзу

 — Сидзума — одна из главных героинь аниме. Серебряноволосая ученица последнего, шестого, курса Академии Св. Миатор и действующая Этуаль трёх школ. К своим обязанностям относится с особой беспечностью, постоянно убегает с совещаний студсовета, чем часто выводит из себя и ставит в неловкое положение президента студсовета и свою лучшую подругу Миюки Рокудзё. Один из таких побегов закончился встречей Сидзумы и Нагисы, которая заблудилась на территории. Заинтересовавшись ей, Сидзума начала предпринимать дерзкие попытки поцеловать Нагису, что, впрочем, часто делала и с другими ученицами, так что никаких проявлений чувств, кроме желания повеселиться, эти попытки не несли. Когда же Рокудзё потребовала прямо ответить, зачем Сидзума это делает с Нагисой, она так и призналась, что Нагиса для неё «не более чем симпатичная мордашка». Впоследствии после того, как Нагиса уговорила её честно выполнять обязанности Этуаль, а также совместной работы по уходу за Зимним садом, Сидзума начинает задумываться, действительно ли на тот момент были правдивы её слова. Именно в тот момент они с Нагисой начинают сближаться, но Сидзуму постоянно мучает образ её бывшей возлюбленной Каори, которая была второй Этуаль школ. Даже после того, как Сидзума поцеловала Нагису пару раз, он не оставил её. Вскоре Нагиса узнает правду и их отношения прерываются. Сидзума впадает в безумие, во время которого она перестает посещать занятия, днями напролёт или лежа в постели в слезах, или громя обстановку своей комнаты. Позже она оправляется, особенно после того как нашлось письмо Каори к Сидзуме с просьбой забыть её и жить дальше, старается не думать о Нагисе, даже поддерживает выбор Нагисы как одной из кандидаток на пост Этуаль, а также учит Нагису танцевать вальс. После того как она вручила цветы обеим парам кандидатов (Тамао-Нагиса от Св. Миатор, Аманэ-Хикари от Св. Спика), она в расстройстве уходит, после чего долго думает над своими чувствами. После она врывается посреди церемонии и перед лицом учениц всех трёх школ признается Нагисе в любви. Они двое сбегают с церемонии и в первый раз целуются по взаимному согласию. Сидзума считается очень красивой и уважаемой девушкой. Она замечательно знает французский язык и даже помогает освоить его Нагисе. Только поставленные на кон честь и уважение Сидзумы помогли той сдать экзамен. Кроме того, Сидзума обожает играть на пианино, с удовольствием делает это после ухода за Зимним садом, очень часто играла с Нагисой различные мелодии. Сидзума также считается хорошей актрисой, она как Этуаль каждый год играла роль в школьном спектакле. В своем последнем году она сыграла в пьесе «Кармен», где ей досталась роль дона Хосе (несмотря на то, что ей прочили роль Кармен, Миюки отдала Сидзуме именно эту роль), а пьеса имела ошеломительный успех, особенно конец, когда в роли Кармен появилась Нагиса, заменившая подругу.
 Сэйю: Хитоми Набатамэ

 — Высокая девушка с короткими синими волосами, ученица академии св. Миатор. Является президентом студсовета от своей школы. Миюки — близкая подруга Сидзумы. Когда-то они вместе поступили в школу и были соседками по комнате. С тех пор они защищали друг друга несмотря ни на что. Миюки чересчур хорошо знает Сидзуму, но даже её раздражали постоянные увиливания Сидзумы от обязанностей Этуаль. Ей постоянно приходилось выгораживать подругу перед студсоветом, в результате чего заседания превращались в бесконечные дебаты между ней и президентом от Спики Сион Томори. Лишь появление в школе Нагисы вселило в неё надежду на исправление Сидзумы. Хотя она и сомневалась некоторое время насчет благоприятного отношения Сидзумы к Нагисе, но все же эта надежда жила в ней долгое время. Одним из её непоколебимых решений был выбор актёров для постановки пьесы «Кармен». При этом она пошла против воли студсовета и популярного мнения учениц, что Кармен и Дона Хосе должны играть Сидзума и Амане соответственно, а назначила на эти роли Тикару (президента студсовета от Ле Рима) и Сидзуму соответственно. Если первоначально большинство ролей досталось школе Спики, то после того, как Момоми и Кэндзё наглым поведением чуть не сорвали постановку, она дала указания Тамао в наказание им уменьшить роли, а то и вовсе исключить их из сценария. Вскоре выяснилось, что Миюки довольно неравнодушна к Сидзуме. Во время своего безумия Сидзума в качестве вредной шутки сказала, что Миюки никогда никого не любила и подарила ей поцелуй, после чего Миюки разрыдалась и обругала Сидзуму. Она же рассказала Нагисе о Каори, бывшей возлюбленной Сидзумы, и у неё же хранился ключ от виллы, которая принадлежит Сидзуме. Когда Сидзума оправилась от безумия, в большей степени из-за того, что Миюки нашла письмо от Каори, в котором та попрощалась с Сидзумой незадолго до смерти, она продолжала контролировать её. Именно ей принадлежала идея назначить Сидзуму учить Нагису и Тамао вальсу. Её решимость в значительной степени стала колебаться, когда она увидела танец Сидзумы и Нагисы, а затем пришла в бешенство, когда Сидзума ворвалась на церемонию назначения Этуаль, но когда та призналась Нагисе в любви, и когда Тикару ей тихо и загадочно сказала «Сейчас самое время», поняла, что видит прежнюю Сидзуму, которой та была до смерти Каори, и позволила Сидзуме и Нагисе сбежать с церемонии.
 Сэйю: Дзюнко Нода

 — Ученица первого класса Академии Св. Миатор. Была назначена помощницей в комнату Нагисы и Тамао (по правилам академии, ученицы младших классов помогают старшеклассницам в уборке комнат, а старшеклассницы в свою очередь помогают им в учёбе). Относится к Нагисе с большим уважением, обращается к ней Нагиса-онэ-сама (уважаемая старшая сестра Нагиса). Является членом Литературного клуба и работает библиотекарем. Тиё всегда старается выполнять работу настолько хорошо, насколько это возможно, однако результат иногда получается не самым лучшим.
 Сэйю: Тива Сайто

 — Каори перешла в Академию Св. Миатор в первый класс. В детстве она часто болела и не ходила в школу, проводя все время дома. По прибытии в школу, её доверили Миюки и Сидзуме, чтобы дать ей возможность почувствовать радость школьной жизни. Так случилось, что Сидзума полюбила Каори. Поэтому, когда Сидзума подавала заявку на участие в выборах Этуаль, она выбрала Каори в качестве партнёра. Однако вскоре после того, как их выбрали, Каори умерла. Вероятно предвидя такой исход, Каори оставила Сидзуме письмо, в котором просила не печалиться о ней и продолжать жить дальше.
 Сэйю: Котоми Ивамура

 — Ученица Академии Св. Спика. Скромная и тихая девушка. Так же, как и Нагиса, перевелась из другой школы. Вместе со своей соседкой по комнате и лучшей подругой Яей присоединилась к хору Св. Спика. Влюбилась в Аманэ Отори. Хикари очень набожна, её часто можно увидеть молящейся около статуи Девы Марии. Её имя на нихонго означает «свет» и оно было дано ей не случайно, а чтоб подчеркнуть её набожность.
 Сэйю: Мию Мацуки

 — Соседка Хикари по комнате. Очень энергичная девушка, всегда старается помочь Хикари, в которую влюблена. Она даже помогает Хикари в отношениях с Аманэ, хотя сама этому не рада. Помогла Хикари вступить в хор, который поздравляет Аманэ Отори и её команду с выигрышами на состязаниях.
 Сэйю: Нацуко Куватани

 — Старшеклассница Академии Св. Спика. Уважаема ученицами, имеет множество поклонниц среди них. Занимается верховой ездой. Не любит быть в центре внимания, поэтому начинает тренироваться в езде с раннего утра. В школьной пьесе ей прочили роль дона Хосе, но та досталась Сидзуме, а Аманэ сыграла роль тореадора, возлюбленного Кармен. Аманэ является наиболее вероятным кандидатом на выборы Этуаль от Академии Св. Спика, однако не стремится в них участвовать. Позднее влюбляется в Хикари и только ради неё соглашается принять участие в выборах.
 Сэйю: Юко Кайда

 — Ученица первого класса Академии Св. Спика. Входит в состав хора Св. Спика. Вспыльчивая девушка, может легко выйти из себя, но быстро успокаивается. В хоре помогает Хикари и Яе, если у них что-то не получается. Испытывает симпатию по отношению к Яе, но старается этого не афишировать.
 Сэйю: Сакура Ногава

 — Президент школьного совета Академии Св. Спика. С связи с предстоящими выборами Этуаль она должна решить, кто будет кандидатом от Академии Св. Спика. Наиболее вероятным кандидатом она считает Аманэ Отори и старается сделать всё возможное, чтобы Аманэ согласилась на участие в выборах.

 — Энергичная, властная и хитрая девушка. Является членом школьного совета Академии Св. Спика. Состоит в интимных отношениях с Момоми. Канамэ является вторым кандидатом на выборы Этуаль после Аманэ, из-за чего завидует ей. Хочет получить статус Этуаль для себя и Момоми, что идет вразрез с целями Сион — выдвинуть Аманэ в качестве кандидата на выборы Этуаль. Поначалу делает всё возможное для того, чтобы Аманэ не участвовала в выборах, но в конце, вызвав её на поединок по теннису, сама же предлагает ей участвовать в выборах. В школьной пьесе ей досталась роль военачальника, под началом которого служит Дон Хосе.
 Сэйю: Саяка Киносита

 — Ученица Академии Св. Спика. Входит в школьный совет Св. Спика и является второй помощницей президента Сион. Влюблена в Канамэ, помогает ей в осуществлении её замыслов. В школьной пьесе «Кармен» Момоми сыграла роль невесты дона Хосе.

USCIS has updated its guidance identifying factors officers should consider when adjudicating a Form I-130 spousal petition involving a minor. Those factors include: (1) whether the marriage was lawful in the place it was celebrated; (2) if the couple resides outside the place of celebration, whether the marriage is recognized as valid in the U.S. state where the couple currently resides or will presumably reside and does not violate the state of residence's public policy; (3) whether the marriage is bona fide; and (4) whether the minor provided full, free, and informed consent to enter into the marriage. Prior to this update, USCIS created a flagging system that sent an alert in the electronic system at the time of filing if a minor spouse or fiancé is detected. The guidance is expected to complement the flagging system currently in place. While there are no statutory age requirements to petition for a spouse or be sponsored as a spousal beneficiary, the updated guidance stresses to adjudicators that marriages involving a minor warrant special attention.

Trump's Travel Ban Sparks Chaos, Protests
//www.nbcconnecticut.com/multimedia/Trump-Travel-Ban-Sparks-Chaos-Protests-412196773.html
On Monday, President Donald Trump defended his immigration order that sparked protests at airports around the country, and White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer argued the 109 detentions over the weekend was a minor inconvenience to keep America safe. Meanwhile, two new federal lawsuits were filed in Washington state and Virginia, where a Muslim civil rights group argues it's not only unconstitutional, but puts American Muslims in danger. (Published Monday, Jan. 30, 2017)
Accusing her of betrayal and insubordination, President Donald Trump on Monday fired Sally Yates, the acting attorney general of the United States and a Democratic appointee, after she publicly questioned the constitutionality of his controversial refugee and immigration ban and refused to defend it in court.
The dramatic public clash between the new president and the nation's top law enforcement officer laid bare the growing discord and dissent surrounding Trump's executive order, which temporarily halted the entire U.S. refugee program and banned all entries from seven Muslim-majority nations for 90 days.
The firing came hours after Yates directed Justice Department attorneys not to defend the executive order, saying she was not convinced it was lawful or consistent with the agency's obligation "to stand for what is right." Trump soon followed with a statement accusing Yates of having "betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States."
He immediately named longtime federal prosecutor Dana Boente, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, as Yates' replacement.
.@POTUS has named Dana Boente, US Attorney for the Eastern District of VA as Acting Attorney General. Sally Yates has been relieved.
— Sean Spicer (@PressSec) January 31, 2017
Boente was sworn in privately late Monday, the White House said. He promptly order Justice Department lawyers to "do our sworn duty and to defend the lawful orders of our President."
Boente said Trump's executive order was "both lawful on its face and properly drafted."
Yates' refusal to defend the executive order was largely symbolic given that Sen. Jeff Sessions, Trump's pick for attorney general, will almost certainly defend the policy once he's sworn in. He's expected to be confirmed Tuesday by the Senate Judiciary Committee and could be approved within days by the full Senate.
The chain of events bore echoes of the Nixon-era "Saturday Night Massacre," when the attorney general and deputy attorney general resigned rather than follow an order to fire a special prosecutor investigating the Watergate scandal. The prosecutor, Archibald Cox, was fired by the solicitor general.
Yates's abrupt decision reflected the growing conflict over the executive order, with administration officials moving Monday to distance themselves from the policy. As protests erupted at airports over the weekend and confusion disrupted travel around the globe, even some of Trump's top advisers and fellow Republicans made clear they were not involved in crafting the policy or consulted on its implementation.
At least three top national security officials — Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and Rex Tillerson, who is awaiting confirmation to lead the State Department — have told associates they were not aware of details of the directive until around the time Trump signed it. Leading intelligence officials were also left largely in the dark, according to U.S. officials.
Protests Over Trump Immigration Orders Continue for 2nd Day

(Published Sunday, Jan. 29, 2017)
Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations committee, said that despite White House assurances that congressional leaders were consulted, he learned about the order in the media.
Trump's order pauses America's entire refugee program for four months, indefinitely bans all those from war-ravaged Syria and temporarily freezes immigration from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. Federal judges in New York and several other states issued orders that temporarily block the government from deporting people with valid visas who arrived after Trump's travel ban took effect and found themselves in limbo.
Yates, who was appointed deputy attorney general in 2015 and was the No. 2 Justice Department official under Loretta Lynch, declared Monday she was instructing department lawyers not to defend the order in court.
"I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution's solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right," Yates wrote in a letter announcing her position. "At present, I am not convinced that the defense of the Executive Order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the Executive Order is lawful."
Trump said the order had been "approved" by Justice Department lawyers. However, the department has said the Office of Legal Counsel review was limited to whether the order was properly drafted, but did not address broader policy questions.
Other parts of Trump's administration also voiced dissent Monday. A large group of American diplomats circulated a memo voicing their opposition to the order, which temporarily halted the entire U.S. refugee program and banned all entries from seven Muslim-majority nations for 90 days. White House spokesman Sean Spicer challenged those opposed to the measure to resign.
Sen. Charles Schumer Fires up Crowd at Battery Park Protest
Sen. Charles Schumer denounced President Donald Trump's executive orders, calling them "bad for national security" and decrying them as anti-American during an immigrant march at Battery Park Sunday.
"They should either get with the program or they can go," Spicer said.
The blowback underscored Trump's tenuous relationship with his own national security advisers, many of whom he met for the first time during the transition.
Mattis, who stood next to Trump during Friday's signing ceremony, is said to be particularly incensed. A senior U.S. official said Mattis, along with Joint Chiefs Chairman Joseph Dunford, was aware of the general concept of Trump's order but not the details. Tillerson has told the president's political advisers that he was baffled over not being consulted on the substance of the order.
U.S. officials and others with knowledge of the Cabinet's thinking insisted on anonymity in order to disclose the officials' private views.
Despite his public defense of the policy, the president has privately acknowledged flaws in the rollout, according to a person with knowledge of his thinking. But he's also blamed the media — his frequent target — for what he believes are reports exaggerating the dissent and the number of people actually affected.
After a chaotic weekend during which some U.S. legal permanent residents were detained at airports, some agencies were moving swiftly to try to clean up after the White House.

Homeland Security, the agency tasked with implementing much of the refugee ban, clarified that customs and border agents should allow legal residents to enter the country. The Pentagon was trying to exempt Iraqis who worked alongside the U.S. and coalition forces from the 90-day ban on entry from the predominantly Muslim countries.
"There are a number of people in Iraq who have worked for us in a partnership role, whether fighting alongside us or working as translators, often doing so at great peril to themselves," said Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman.
On Capitol Hill, lawmakers in Trump's party sought to distance themselves from the wide-ranging order.

While Spicer said "appropriate committees and leadership offices" on Capitol Hill were consulted, GOP lawmakers said their offices had no hand in drafting the order and no briefings from the White House on how it would work.
"I think they know that it could have been done in a better way," Corker said of the White House.

The research in our laboratory focuses on molecular modeling in the context of structural genomics and bioinformatics. The major goals are to develop approaches to the modeling of protein interactions and to design procedures for reconstruction of the network of connections between proteins in a genome. The number of protein-protein interactions in a genome is significantly larger than the number of individual proteins. Moreover, most protein structures will be models of limited accuracy. Thus the structure-based methods for building this network have to be (a) fast, and (b) insensitive to significant inaccuracies of modeled structures. The precision of these methods may be correlated with the precision of the protein structures – lower for less accurate models and higher for more exact models.
Our long-term goals are to understand the fundamental principles of protein interaction and to create a structure-based description of genomes. The primary current objectives are: development of methodology for an accurate prediction of the structure of protein complexes, docking in genome-wide databases of modeled protein structures, and development of the integrated environment for docking studies.

Cannon Blasts: A wild 48 hours in Columbus
The links you need from an eventful week

So...this was an eventful week.
It was a slow start to the season, with the Blue Jackets stumbling to a 1-2-1 start. Most of the stars were nonfactors, including Pierre-Luc Dubois, who demanded a trade prior to the start of training camp. PLD scored just one point in those four games, the game-winner last Monday in Detroit.
Then, during the first period of the home opener — against the defending Stanley Cup champions — Dubois played just five shifts before being stapled to the bench for the remainder of the game. The final shift ended with Dubois floating to the corner and standing still while losing a "battle" for the puck with Tyler Johnson.
While there were mixed reviews in hockey media for Torts' decision, there was consensus that PLD's behavior deserved some punishment. These breakdowns on Sportsnet from Justin Bourne and Steve Dangle are good breakdowns from the perspective of neutral observers.
The situation was irreparably broken, as spelled out by MrSwift13 on Friday. I don't agree that it's time for Torts to go, but I do think it's more and more likely that he retires at the end of the season when his contract expires. As for Dubois, by Friday night it was reported that trade talks had intensified, with the Jackets narrowing their focus on a few potential trade partners.
On Saturday afternoon, as the team prepared to face the Lightning again, the trade went through: in return for Dubois and a 2022 third round pick, Columbus received forwards Patrik Laine and Jack Roslovic from the Winnipeg Jets.
Dubois was a joy to watch here for three seasons, meeting or exceeding the expectations from his surprise selection with the third pick of the 2016 draft. Unfortunately, his reputation here may be tainted for awhile due to his final game as a Jacket.
If the Jackets were going to trade Dubois, I wanted them to get a legitimate scoring forward in return. It's safe to say Laine fits that description. He has 250 points in 306 career games, plus another 16 points in 24 playoff games over the last three seasons. Of his 140 goals, 52 game with the man advantage. If he can't help the Blue Jackets power play, then nothing can.
He has a personality, too!
"They just scored three in the first, what do you mean they need goal scoring help?"

— FOX Sports Columbus (@FOXSportsCbus) January 23, 2021
Jack Roslovic is a player that Jarmo Kekalainen claims the Jackets have been looking to acquire since his draft year. He has struggled to find heavy minutes in Winnipeg, and has not spent as much time at his preferred position, center. Most notably, he is the first Columbus-born player drafted in the first round. He had not yet signed his next contract, so he was working out here with the AAA Blue Jackets during the start of the season. He signed a two year contract with the Jackets on Saturday worth a total of $3.8 million. His career high in points was 12/17/29 in 71 games last year, so I don't have high hopes of him being a major weapon. That being said, he will have his chance to play center here and to crack the top 6 if he can earn it.
Now that you've had a day to reflect, what do you think of the trade? Are you like me, and made more excited about it due to the cathartic victory over Tampa on Saturday?
Game #1: 1-3 loss at Nashville
Game #3: 3-2 win at Detroit
Game #4: 2-3 overtime loss at Detroit
Game #5: 2-3 overtime loss to Tampa
Game #6: 5-2 win over Tampa
Here are some individual milestones that certain Blue Jackets may hit this season.
Will and Rachel recapped the first three games on The Cannon Cast.
Rachel ranted about the infuriating stalemate between Sinclair Broadcasting and streaming services that are keeping fans from legally watching the Jackets this season.
The Cleveland Monsters released their schedule for the 2021 season. They're playing just five opponents for a total of 28 games.
Nathan Gerbe was called up from the taxi squad, in place of Emil Bemstrom. Brandon Dubinsky was placed on long-term injured reserve for salary cap purposes.
One former Blue Jacket weighed in on the trade:

Tuesday and Thursday: Home vs. Florida
Friday and Sunday: Away at Chicago
Big series in Nationwide, with the return of former Blue Jackets including Sergei Bobrovsky, Alexander Wennberg, and Anthony Duclair. The Panthers have not played since Tuesday, due to COVID cancellations among their scheduled opponents. Will they be fresh or rusty?
Over the weekend is a trip to Chicago. The Blackhawks were predictably woeful in their first two series against Tampa and Florida, but bounced back this weekend with a home sweep of the Detroit.
Mikko Koivu is cleared from the COVID protocol and is expected to make his season and CBJ debut on Tuesday. Jack Roslovic may be available then too, or Thursday at the latest. One of the Chicago games may be the earliest we could see Patrik Laine play.
Bonus hockey
A quick PSA for those of you looking for additional live hockey to watch. This weekend, the NWHL kicked off their two-week bubble tournament in Lake Placid, NY. All games are streaming on Twitch, with the semifinals and championship game aired on NBCSN. Check out this preview from SBN site The Ice Garden for more information, and be sure to check back to read all of their coverage of the event. As a site we have decided to stan the Buffalo Beauts, and it looks like Stinger agrees with us:
