Khloe Kardashian is reportedly expecting her first child with basketball player Tristan Thompson of the Cleveland Cavaliers. This news comes on the heels of rumors that Kardashian's sister, 20-year-old Kylie Jenner, is expecting her first child with boyfriend Travis Scott. Kardashian's rep did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the pregnancy.
Satellite broadcaster DirecTV will let at least some customers get refunds for its Sunday Ticket package of NFL games if they cite players' national anthem protests. The price of the package is about $280. and ordinarily, you cannot get a refund for the service once the season starts. AT&T, which owns DirecTV, declined to confirm the change in policy.

Christmas is not about presents. It's about presence. The hustle and bustle of shopping, looking for the perfect gift, attending parties, and decorating is supposed to bring joy. And you can choose for it to do exactly that. Simply stop seeing it all as a pain in the you-know-what! Start looking at it for what it really is. And be OK with simplifying. It's a choice.
Indeed Christmas is a Christian celebration - in fact, a birthday party! I have chosen to use Christmas as a time to celebrate life and love. Being with your loved ones... REALLY being with them... will have long lasting effects and will be remembered much more than that box of chocolates (although, I really love chocolate) or even the latest version of the iPhone. Sit down for a cup of tea and a good chat. Listen. Laugh. Reminisce. Celebrate! This time of year brings sadness to many, too. Do something to make the season for those people more manageable.
People want to be surrounded by love. Your employees, team members, or colleagues are no different - they are human too. This Christmas, I challenge you to bring OM to your organization or team. Bring awareness of the meaning of Christmas - whatever that is for you and your team. Instead of getting caught up in the Kriskringle gift exchange, get caught up with bringing presents to those in need or presence to each other. That doesn't mean don't have a gift exchange. It simply means, be conscious of what it all means. Your team will remember the calm you gave them.
Namaste and thank-you for reading! 2013 will be a great year!

Obituary of Shane Michael Miles
Please share a memory of Shane to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Shane Michael Miles, 48 (formerly of Middletown NY) passed away at his home on March 3, 2020 in Manteo, North Carolina, after a courageous battle with cancer surrounded by his loving family. Shane was born on March 10, 1971 in Middletown, New York to Kathleen McMahon Wronka & Louis Miles. Shane graduated from Middletown HS and soon thereafter moved to the Outer Banks to pursue a better life for his family. Shane worked in the restaurant business and soon cultivated his love for food and the culinary arts. Shane lived life to the fullest celebrating with his family at backyard pool parties and family vacations. His family and friends were his number one priority in life. Shane beat his first battle with Cancer in 2009. After this his good friend introduced him to the life of running, and soon after running became a great passion for him in the last decade of his life. Through his many accomplishments of ultra-marathons, involvement in the Outer Banks Running Club, and his ownership of a local runner's shop, Roanoke Island Running Company, for several years. Shane has inspired and encouraged many to go after their passions whether through running or other paths. His desire to help others fighting the fight sparked a community involvement that would never waver until his last days. In January 2019, Shane took his diagnosis of Stage IV Colon Cancer with strength and courage. He battled this year vigorously with the support of his loving Heather by his side as well as many friends and family. He never wavered and consistently pushed himself, most notably running the Marine Corps Marathon in October 2019. As the battle ramped up Shane saw his community of family and friends rally behind him. Even in the end Shane continued his fight with dignity, this is not a battle lost but another race finished for Shane Miles as he now runs In Paradise As a well-admired member of the community, Shane leaves behind his daughter Shyanne Gomez, and son-in-law Joseph Gomez, his son Ethan Miles, his partner in life and love Heather Gardiner, his mother Kathleen Wronka and her partner Greg Casillas, his father Louis Miles, his three siblings Imogene Russell, Maggie Miles, and Jason Wronka, his loving Aunts & Uncles Patricia & John Greenhill, Irene & Phillip Aldrete, Michael McMahon, Charlotte & John Walston, His Godmother & husband Helen & Dennis Hamilton, nieces Josslyn & Julia Wronka, nephew Teddy Russell, cousins who were like siblings- Sharon Frey, Johnny Greenhill, Zak McMahon & Bobby Aldrette, and a host of loving friends and his running community. Shane was predeceased by his extremely loving grandparents Mickey & Dixie McMahon and Ben & Julie Miles. Shane was the first grandchild for both sets of grandparents and he held a very special place in their hearts., A celebration of Shane's life will be held on Sunday July 18, 2021 at the home of his cousin Sharon Frey. Please feel free to stop by and share your memories with his family between 1:00 & 4:00 at 20 Prospect Ave. Goshen. The family would like to thank all who reached out during Shane's illness. We thank you for your continued support and generosity of donations that helped to cover his medical expenses.

Color: Reddish or as us girls like to say - AUBURN - with Betty Davis (amber) Eyes! - a delicate Splash of white on her chest & neck, and two LEFT paws are tipped in white, too!
Socialization/training: Very sociable, loves other dogs, kids, car rides, walks and play time – working on simple commands/ has mastered SIT and DINNER! She was Excellent @ the Groomers and is ready to accompany her people whenever invited! She quickly assimilated into the FOSTER HOME and has never been in a scuffle with any of the others in the PACK! This LITTLE ROOSTER is a quick study and will learn what is expected of her very readily! She is eager to please and willing to accept guidance from her human – she is sensitive to harsh correction so; Please, EASY does It! She will reward you with Loyalty as long as you lead and gift her some LOVE and simple pleasures!
Good with Children: Excellent manners around youngsters and adults! Might be a bit too much for a very elderly individual because of her exuberance and excitability. She is a wriggler!
Good with Dogs: Sleeps in same room with the FOSTER pack, eats in the same room, gathers some toys from the community box without incident – Never causes any ruckus!
Crate trained: Yes, she is OK in the crate BUT prefers to be left in a single room or to roam. She resists the crate entry but enticed with TREAT/COOKIE and a wee push she will enter and stay there quietly.
Leash trained: Yes, she is able to be walked on the leash without strong pulling – however she has the wanderers' arch (LEFT then RIGHT then back again!) .... I think she could be trained to heal if owner pursued it! She LOVES her adventures outside of our fenced area and is leash walked all around our neighborhood looking @ birds and other eye catching items (leaves, paper, debris, rabbits, squirrels) – she is alert the whole time! READY TO GIVE CHASE IF SHE WERE ALLOWED!
Activity Level: This Little Lady is BIRDY and wants to investigate all the Bird visitors every morning by 6 AM! She will "work" our back yard until I call her in for breakfast about 7 AM and then she wants to go out again for a quick check of the lot. She then will come in for a morning nap OR a bit of play time with the indoor toys. We have a PHYSICAL Fence and she tried to escape the first few weeks but respects the boundaries, currently! She is REALLY working on her RECALL command and is getting better each and every day! She has a LOVE of life and is ready to please!
Fence: A physical fence of @ least 4 ft is, of course, preferred because this Girl is ACTIVE and inquisitive! However, if a large chunk of acreage is controlled by Invisible Fencing AND the owner is out with Clementine, I feel she would learn her boundaries and will want to FOLLOW her person! It will take TIME, Patience and Gentle Persuasion but I think Clementine is BRIGHT enough to get the message and learn the logistics of an IF, if it gives her ample space to run off steam! BUT if left unattended she will try her best to find a critter and the GREAT CHASE will be on! She is learning the boundaries of our FRONT LAWN as she is allowed to 'feel' the freedom of getting past our physical fence for brief amounts of time each afternoon! She is relaxed and willing to watch the others in the pack and has responded to leash restraints in the front yard. I do NOT think leash walking alone will be sufficient to keep this pup exercised and out of trouble ...she needs to RUN off her energy and when she does, she sleeps through the night and naps in the afternoons! I am NOT a Runner but she might be ok as a companion for a jogger if she has the chance to REALLY RUN for a few times a day! Beware: If Boykins are not exercised thoroughly they have a tendency of finding a way of getting rid of the pent up energy and usually it is not something the HUMAN in their life would like to see! (ie; chewing shoes, furniture or being destructive in other ways! ) She has been corrected for doing this in Foster Home and is HAPPY to take direction with an alternative chew toy!
Behavior: This Fur Baby is Attentive & Listens to the human voice but is also a bit independent & stubborn, especially when she is acting on her BIRDY IMPULSES! She asks for PETS and snuggles but has not yet jumped on humans OR furniture OR beds – she is content on one of the many dog beds within the household. She is OVER THE TOP Excited for meal time and does a wee little Irish JIG (could she be part Irish? probably not but she is RED!) and also "ROOs" when her food bowl appears! She is learning that she must SIT before she is served - even though it is a very brief SIT @ this point, I feel she will acquire this skill soon! She is also learning the DOWN command ..... she does not counter surf (did @ first but that was because she was starving!) and is a healthy eater! NOT PICKY!
Medical History: UTD on all vaccines and Spay is scheduled for mid April and will be done before transport is scheduled. She is on Heartguard and Frontline, every month! She is microchipped.
Foster Comments: This Girl is a quick study and fast learner! She is eager to please and the PERFECT size @ 43lbs! She has impeccable manners and is sensitive to correction BUT can be stubborn and VERY BIRDY , especially in the early AM and evening hours! If she gets a good scent for a critter she will pursue it and could be gone in a flash so it will take a skilled owner to get her to recognize commands and stay safe! Clementine came from a hunting preserve in the SE.


Coastal Point • Submitted: The new Freeman Stage is packed to the brim.The Freeman Stage at Bayside could not have picked a better act to show off their new stage last Saturday than the Tedeschi Trucks Band. The 2,600-person venue was filled with devotees who got what they came for and new enthusiasts who were rightly amazed.
In fact, without the new stage, an act like Tedeschi Trucks would not have signed up to come to West Fenwick. They are a national touring, 12-piece roots band whose music ranges from R&B belters to gentle ballads to gospel. They are led by power-vocalist Susan Tedeschi and her husband, master guitarist Derek Trucks. Each member of the band brings unique and incredible talent.
Opening for Tedeschi Trucks were Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett, the two surviving members of the beloved band Little Feat.
The new stage replaced the original, which first appeared on the lawn in the early era of Bayside in 2008. It bore the iconic signature of regional real estate developer Joshua Freeman, who died tragically in a helicopter accident in 2006.
It became a source of inspiration for Michelle Freeman, president and chairman of the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation. She foresaw, through the stage, a way to honor her late husband's memory by bringing the arts to everybody in Sussex County, thus elevating the human spirit.
But this 10th season is different. "The little stage that could," as it was commonly called, has withstood its last performance. It was a community-built, wooden, 20-by-40-by-14-foot, primitive piece of beloved local Americana. It has been replaced by a larger, sleek, portable, high-tech stage, known in the entertainment industry as an SL 320.
"We started to think we may have to replace the stage about four years ago, when we started bringing in bigger acts," said Patti Grimes, executive director of the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation.
"When the advancement production crews showed up before each performance, some were concerned by our physical limitations, in comparison to what they were accustomed," said Grimes.
Nevertheless, the artists raved about the hospitality provided by Grimes and her team.
"We really take care of our artists, and we work as hard as we can with their production staff. As a result, many have returned for repeat performances, and many have recommended us to their colleagues," she said.
However, in their effort to make things work operationally, there became increasing concern about how safe the little stage was for artists and also for audiences and staff.
As an example, Doug Phillips, the foundation's creative and digital experience manager, talked about the large screen upon which some performances are projected in order for audiences to better view the show.
The final decision for a new stage was made by the Freeman Foundation's Board of Directors in 2016. All agreed that the work to bring the project to fruition must be completed in time to have a full season in 2017.
They succeeded, and along with the SL 320 has come a tall metal T-shaped LED pole for video projection, which has been firmly cemented into the ground adjacent to the stage. Another improvement is the replacement of worn-down sod with Bermuda grass, over-seeded with rye grass, which is a sturdier type of grass intended for fields and festivals.
Sue Katz is another long-term Freeman Stage volunteer. She said she was particularly impressed with the improved sound facilitated by the new stage.
Knox found his eye occasionally wandering off to the right, across the lake and over the fountain to the Cove restaurant and clubhouse. That's where he and his fiancée, Kelly Kovach, are getting married next year.
Lisa Caroff and her son, Connor Hartman, live in Dagsboro and are avid Tedeschi Trucks fans. Back in February, they had traveled to see them play in Washington D.C. Connor is autistic, and his mom always tries to make every occasion as special as possible. At the Freeman Stage, she wanted Connor to meet his very favorite band.
Chris Trucks, who travels with the band and manages their merchandise tent, said later about his son, "He doesn't talk much. He doesn't have to — his music speaks for him." After all, the former Allman Brothers Band musician is listed by Rolling Stone as No. 16 of the 100 best guitarists in the world.
Both Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi sat down comfortably and talked with Connor after the show. They said they were impressed by his knowledge of music and may have hinted that a return visit to the Freeman Stage may be in order. Trucks even gave Connor one of his guitar slides as a keepsake.
Caroff also mentioned that Steve Combs, a Little Feat roadie, had taken particular interest in Connor and had given him a copy of the show's set list so he could know what song was coming up next — a real treasure.
When the goal to complete all the work for the installation the new stage was met, there was a Blessing of the Stage attended by the Freeman Foundation Board and employees on May 11th. As part of the celebration, each attendee anonymously wrote their hope for the Stage on a small card, which was put in a time capsule.
There is no doubt that on June 17 joy abounded.

HARRISBURG- Promoting good-paying, family-sustaining jobs is a key priority for the House Republican members and with that in mind, a package of workforce development bills is on its way to the state Senate. House Majority Leader Bryan Cutler (R-Lancaster) joined his fellow Republican members to highlight the legislation and what it means for Pennsylvanians in the job market, and young people making plans for their future.
"We want every Pennsylvanian to have access to educational opportunities that promote family-sustaining careers. We urge the Senate to promptly consider this important package of bills," said Speaker of the House Mike Turzai.
Workforce development was a key focus of Gov. Tom Wolf's budget address, and a recent survey of employers by the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry found "finding qualified candidates" to be the No. 1 concern for companies in Pennsylvania. The bills in this package are phase one of House Republican plans to address those concerns.
The bills passed with overwhelming bipartisan support and now head to the Senate for consideration.
•	HB 324 (Rep. Keith Gillespie, R-York): Provides a new revitalization tool for addressing unemployment and small business opportunities by allowing municipalities to develop a microenterprise loan program to help start small businesses in blighted downtown communities.
•	HB 334 (Rep. Seth Grove, R-York): Requires the Pennsylvania Department of Education to create guidelines for when a student who successfully completes a STEM course, program or activity for credit can also apply the credit toward a course through a vocational-technical school, technical institution or vocational school.
•	HB 394 (Rep. Gerald Mullery, D-Luzerne): Requires PDE and the Department of Labor and Industry to conduct a complete inventory of existing workforce development programs at both the secondary and postsecondary levels.
•	HB 522 (Rep. Mike Tobash, R-Schuylkill/Dauphin): Establishes the Career and Technical Education Investment Incentive Program, which would provide tax credits, applicable to any state tax, to businesses that contribute to career and technical partnership organizations.
•	HB 297 (Rep. Zachary Mako, R-Northampton/Lehigh): Requires PDE to develop materials outlining workforce needs, including training opportunities and future earning potential to ensure students are aware of opportunities from a wide variety of organizations and career paths. Also allows for community colleges and other technical and/or trade schools to attend career/college fairs.
•	HB 395 (Rep. James Roebuck Jr., D-Philadelphia): Allows CTE programs or a cluster of programs to establish occupational advisory committees at the Intermediate Unit (IU) level to serve multiple school districts or Career and Technical Centers (CTCs). The committees would meet twice a year to ensure programs are working effectively and are meeting industry standards and needs so students are best prepared to enter the workforce.
•	HB 425 (Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-Lehigh/Berks): Creates CareerBound, a program to strengthen the connection between Pennsylvania's students and the next generation of high-priority careers. CareerBound would provide students with career exploration opportunities while also allowing business partners the opportunity to develop collaborative relationships with schools to best prepare students for what to expect in the workforce.


Every minute on the minute for 30:00, perform 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 squats.
If you've finished the workout before, this time add +1 to each exercise, i.e., 6 pull-ups, 11 push-ups, and 16 squats each minute, and see if you can go the full thirty minutes.
*Partners must split runs into 200m. Only one partner may be working at a time, but may split reps as needed.


University of Arkansas students once again are getting the opportunity to study the political and economic free-market principles advanced by Nobel economics laureate Milton Friedman at a retreat at his former home in Vermont.
The colloquium will be held Aug. 12-15, 2019, and is free of charge for 10 students chosen to attend – including travel, meals and lodging. The colloquium is open exclusively to University of Arkansas students. Any U of A student is welcome to apply.
Students should email an essay of 500 words or less to Wes Kemp at wbkemp@uark.edu by Jan. 14, 2019, describing the reasons they wish to study Friedman's ideas, the extent to which they've studied economics and political science, and how they expect to benefit from the colloquium. They should also include a resume and the names of two references with contact information. Selection will be based on the essays best providing the requested information in an articulate and persuasive manner, work history, supportive references and interviews with students selected for consideration.
The colloquium will be held at Capitaf, Friedman's former Vermont summer home which has been converted into The Milton and Rose Friedman Center.
"This is the third time that University of Arkansas students have been invited to participate in this kind of colloquium at Capitaf," said Kemp, an executive in residence in the Sam M. Walton College of Business and retired president and chief executive officer of ABF Freight Systems.
The mission of the center is to advance human well-being through free market capitalism. The center is managed by the Free-to-Choose-Network under the direction of Bob Chitester, chairman of the organization. Chitester will visit the U of A campus on Dec. 6.
Friedman is recognized as a champion for the free enterprise system and individual rights. In 1976, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in economic sciences. In 1977, he retired from the University of Chicago and became a senior research fellow for the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He is widely known for his landmark 1980 PBS-TV series Free To Choose and his best-selling book by the same title.

The Faces of Intelligence Reform (2005)
Faces of Intelligence Reform: Perspectives on Direction and Forms
The policy world continues to struggle with how the intelligence community should change to meet current security challenges. The debate is likely to rage as long as we have troops fighting insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan, diplomats grappling with the prospects for peace in the Middle East, instability growing in South-East Asia, and concerns amplifying in the tri-border region of Latin America.
By bringing together members with their diverse backgrounds and creative ways to address this broad subject in their respective areas of expertise, CENSA has released a compendium of Opinion Editorial articles on intelligence reforms in fall 2005. The broader issue demands perspectives from every corner of this country and every professional vocation—from private sector to public sector to the military view, each impression of where reform is necessary is critical to the ongoing and future debate.

Advance Praise for Faces of Intelligence Reforms
In over three-dozen short pieces The Faces of Intelligence Reform offers bold news ideas from the next generation of foreign policy leaders. The authors, drawn from the diverse ranks of CENSA members including active duty military officers, former National Security Council Officials, and the best young minds from think tanks and academia, have put together an impressive collection tackling the problem of intelligence reform from every angle. Moving well beyond the media focus on re-wiring diagrams, The Faces of Intelligence Reform is one of few works that offers concrete recommendations to address the gap between the current capabilities and the rapidly changing needs of the intelligence community. Pieces address such narrow but critical subjects as building relationships with local tribes, improving intelligence with regards to terrorist financing, how to penetrate insurgents and terrorist groups, and fixing the hiring process. John Negroponte should read this book. Then he should start the true process of reforming the intelligence community.
— Richard A. Clarke, former U.S. National Coordinator for Security and Counter terrorism, author of Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror
In the past year demands for change in the structure and process of the Intelligence Community reached a crescendo. The legislation that resulted in response is now playing out.This collection of short essays is an extremely useful way to flag crucial issues and disagreements, and to expose a range of views, for the ongoing debate that accompanies this shakedown cruise.
— Richard K. Betts, Director of the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies, Columbia University
By covering a broad array of new and contentious issues that are highly relevant to the long war we are in – from data mining to the cultural barriers that block effective penetration of terrorist groups – by sharpening rather than submerging policy debates, and by giving a forum to the next generation of intelligence policy-makers this fine volume makes a signal contribution. Essential reading for anyone interested in the field."
— R. James Woolsey, Vice President, Booz Allen Hamilton, Director of Central Intelligence 1993-95

Geldof renounces his Freedom of Dublin
Bob Geldof has handed back his Freedom of the City of Dublin in protest because Maynamar's leader Aung San Suu Kyi holds the same honour.
Mr Geldof was one of those who honoured the Nobel Prize winner when she visited Dublin a couple of years ago.
Ms Suu Kyi has been widely criticised by her former supporters, including fellow Nobel laureates, for not speaking out against the violence inflicted on Rohingya Muslims in her home country which was once known as Burma.
Since August, more than 600,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled ethnic cleansing in the north of the country, creating a major humanitarian refugee crisis in Bangladesh.
Geldof, who said he was a proud Dubliner and the Freedom of Dublin was one of the awards closest to his heart, said he could not keep the same company as "a handmaiden to genocide".

"I know this sounds pious, I don't know how to not make it sound pious but I don't want to be on a very select row of wonderful people and be honoured thus, myself, of which I'm very proud and I don't want to be on it with a killer.
"Someone who is, at best, a handmaiden to genocide and an accomplice to murder.
"I know that sounds grandstanding but forgive me if that's the case. I don't actually want to do this because, as I said, I'm very proud of that specific award.
"I'm also a founding patron of a thing called the Aegis Trust who deal with genocide prevention and genocide studies and they built the National Holocaust Museum in the UK and, on the first national Holocaust Memorial Day in Britain, I spoke at Westminster.
"But, even beyond that, when Aung San Suu Kyi was lauded by Dublin, when she arrived and this city extravagantly welcomed her, I sang welcome and spoke welcomely. They asked me to make a speech to her on the stage theatre when she was there and you feel duped.
"You know? I mean, that's personally, you feel a chump, like you've been taken for a ride. Now that seems very petty in the face of 600,000 people being bombed out of their strewed homes, mass rape, killing of the males and being forced to cross impenetrable borders to another country.
"It seems very petty but, it's all I can do…"
The Lord Mayor of Dublin Sinn Féin's Mícheál Mac Donncha said that Mr Geldof "is entitled to return his award if he wishes to do so."
He said he found it "ironic that he makes this gesture while proudly retaining his title as Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire, given the shameful record of British imperialism across the globe."

Tsyganov, V.E., Borisov A.Y. and Tikhonovich I.A.
To identify pea genotypes with symbiotic defects 85 pea varieties of different geographical origin from the VIR collection were tested for nodulation and nitrogen fixation ability with commercial strain CIAM 1026. Previously, this set of varieties was analyzed for morphological traits and some of them were subdivided into several lines by Dr. S.M. Rozov (Institute of Cytology and Genetics, Novosibirsk, Russia). Plants of two pea lines: K320-1 (Palestine, P. sativum subsp. humile) and K6047-1 (Afghanistan) were unable to form nodules when grown in quartz sand with N-free nutrient solution. Line K320-1 can form a few nodules per root system when grown in vermiculite with the same nutrition, so its phenotype is not strictly non-nodulating.
Hybridization of variety K320 (Dco) able to nodulate with CIAM 1026 and K320-1 (d) demonstrated monogenic inheritance and recessive manifestation for the K320-1 phenotype. In addition, linkage between this symbiotic gene and locus d was observed (Table 1).
Earlier it was shown that sym2 mutants producing a very low number of nodules when inoculated with European Rhizobium strains are common in pea varieties from the Middle East [1,2,3]. Gene sym2 was localized on the pea linkage group I near d . Allelism tests conducted between lines K320-1 and 31/6 (type line for sym2 used in ARRIAM) showed that line K320-1 is allelic to line 31/6. Thus, the K320-1 line represents yet another naturally occurring source of the sym2 mutant.

In general, it is best to start identifying simpler patterns in the data first. This usually means using IBIS with single genes and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to begin with. Only if the accuracy or MSE values are unsatisfactory should you try Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA) and Uniform/Gaussian Discriminant Analysis (UGDA) as well as gene pairs.
Remember that single gene IBIS searches are always relatively quick, even for tens of thousands of genes. However, when looking for patterns over gene pairs, the run time will be multiplied by the number of genes in the dataset again. For instance, if running 1D IBIS took 1 minute on 500 genes, then 2D IBIS will take about 500 minutes (8 hours) on the same data. Effective filtering of genes is an important step to make gene pair searches practical.
Use the minimum standard deviation to capture your estimate of the error in the measurements. With too small a value, you will find degenerate looking patterns that are not believable. With too large a value, you risk missing important patterns due to over-smoothing the classifier.

What makes hiring a magician for your event better then hiring a musician?
Everyone goes to an event and sees and hears a musician. It doesn't have that exciting appeal and unique quality to it like seeing a magician perform at a event. Whether the magic show is for a few hundred people or you witness amazing close-up magic inches from your eyes, it's something that creates a memorable moment for you and your guests.
A professional magician who has a good amount of experience can create an entertainment package that will cater to kids or adults. Valley Forge Magician Eddy Ray does just that. He performs hundred of shows each year and his magic is capable of entertaining kids as well as any adult. He is able to change up his magic and perform mind reading and sleight of hand for the adults, while the kids laugh and are amazed through his colorful tricks and funny antics.
As the above point states, magicians can cater the magic towards the appropriate ages. Musicians can as well but here is the thing, magic is much more universal and can be enjoyed by many more people. Magic itself brings a sense of wonder and makes you start imagining again, adults become children and well.. children keep using their imagination. There are no language barriers as magic can be seen and understood in it's most simple form.
Valley Forge magician Eddy Ray can perform his magical entertainment inside or out and can setup a performance in just about any venue or space. A magician is a lot more adaptable then a musician who needs to be anchored down. Eddy Ray can roam your event grounds performing amazing magic out of his pockets and cover a ton of people. He can also perform set shows for different sized groups ensuring your guests get to experience a fun time.
To find out more on Eddy Ray please browse this website. You can also email him info@eddyraymagic.com , or call 1-877-297-7252 .

A small group of friends becomes stranded in the country following a horrific car accident, and encounter a psychotic scarecrow while searching for help. Husk was an official selection of the 2011 After Dark Film Festival.
Husk lacks much originality but serves up its combo plate of genre tropes with above-average flair and intensity on modest means.
Not terrible, but the 27-minute version was better.
What Director Brett Simmons does effectively as a storyteller is establish a believable back-story to these creatures and pull you right into the victims' world with well-paced energy and some really great moments of tension.
Suspense is valued here over gore, and it must be noted that the brief final scene manages to be genuinely eerie.
Runs through all the same cliches, but Husk has it's interesting twists and turns, and plenty of atmosphere.
Good enough killer Scarecrow movie but ultimately forgettable. Not as much gore as I was expecting either but I did find the finger nailing scenes quite horrible. It did provide a few well built creepy moments also but no proper scares. It was refreshingly quite unpredictable as far as who lived and died, no happy ending in this also which is another plus. But overall there's nothing too much to it, it jumps straight into things without much character development or build up of supense but it's decent enough for late night entertainment.
Husk would be a lot better if the plot wasn't so forced. Husk is about a group of kids who get in a car accident in the middle of nowhere in a corn field. The kids first of all are very dumb. I'm not sure what possessed them to do any of the idiotic things they did. It didn't make sense; there was no logic behind their actions. The plot itself seemed forced into place, and it wasn't explained at all. The geeky kid started seeing visions out of nowhere. You knew he was going to live for a while because the plot obviously needed to use him in order to tell the backstory of the corn field. That made the movie very predictable because you knew the plot couldn't go further without him. The other boy, Brian lost his girlfriend and started to go crazy, so you knew his dead girlfriend would somehow lead to his demise (*SPOILER* which it did). And the last boy, Brandon or whatever, was a selfish jerk, so you knew karma would get him sooner or later. The plot definitely needed to be fixed in order for the movie to work.
Decent but nothing exciting. No surprises to be had, but some potent violence here and there.

Michel Foucault: Free Lectures on Truth, Discourse & The Self (UC Berkeley, 1980-1983)
in Philosophy	| January 23rd, 2012
Image by Lucas Barroso Félix, via Wikimedia Commons
Michel Foucault (1926-1984) was an enormously influential French philosopher who wrote, among other things, historical analyses of psychiatry, medicine, the prison system, and the function of sexuality in social organizations. He spent some time during the last years of his life at UC Berkeley, delivering several lectures in English. And happily they were recorded for posterity:
Four Lectures on Truth and Subjectivity (1980)
Six Lectures on Discourse and Truth (1983)
Three Lectures on "The Culture of the Self" (1983)
These last lectures are also available on YouTube (in audio format).
One of Foucault's more controversial and memorable books was Discipline and Punish (1977), which traced the transition from the 18th century use of public torture and execution to--less than 50 years later--the prevalence of much more subtle uses of power, with a focus on incarceration, rehabilitation, prevention, and surveillance.
Here he is in 1983 commenting on that book (thanks for the link to Seth Paskin). The Partially Examined Life podcast recently discussed the book with Katharine McIntyre, doctoral candidate at Columbia. Foucault's image of the panopticon well captures modern privacy concerns in the electronic age.
Finally, we leave you with a Schoolhouse Rock-style presentation of Foucault's book The History of Sexuality, Volume 1 and some vintage video of Foucault's 1971 debate with Noam Chomsky. Foucault's lectures have been added to our list of Free Philosophy Courses, part of our big collection, 1,300 Free Online Courses from Top Universities.

[Orion's Daily Ramblings] "Life on Mars" Indulges Our 80s Nostalgia with Themed Stills

Gotta hand it to the "Life on Mars" production, they know how big of a thirst for the 80s feel nostalgia-bound audiences will be suffering from until this airs. The upcoming OCN drama has released stills showcasing its blast from the past world building, and they're glorious.
I've been contemplating why it is that I like contemporary history more than history further back, and I think the relatability is what does it. I have no interest in historical dramas, as fascinating as they may be. But "Life on Mars" delivers teasing for a life closer to our own, a life which stills shapes those who lived it.
The stills are simply satisfying. The attention to details is humbling. From the Paralympics posters to the vintage cars, and from the cigarette brands to the adult magazines, I can't wait to discover the world that the series will be sharing. I'd like to think that, since they're showcasing it, the creators are as eager to deliver.
With a little over two weeks to go until the drama's premiere, I'm going to psyche myself up for "Life on Mars" like there's no tomorrow, cautious optimism be damned.

'Our Flag Means Death' marks improvement in LGBTQ representation on TV
Colleen Wang
Gunn senior Zina Zhang scrolls through her social media feed and notices fanart and many posts and discussions for a new series, 'Our Flag Means Death.' After deciding to check it out, she is immediately hooked and even draws fanart of her own.
"Our Flag Means Death" has received praise for its LGBTQ representation, beloved characters and lighthearted mood.
The historical romantic comedy is set in the 1700s and follows protagonist Stede Bonnet, an aristocrat who suddenly abandons his life and family to become a pirate. Together, Bonnet and his newly gathered crew endure obstacles like clashing with the infamous pirate captain Blackbeard.
Most of the characters are queer, subverting the norm of a predominantly cisgender and straight cast.
The show also depicts a variety of healthy, loving relationships including gay couples like Bonnet, who falls in love with another man.
Another character, Jim, played by nonbinary actor Vico Ortiz, is nonbinary and transmasculine and uses they/them pronouns. When the crew finds out Jim is transmasculine, the crew easily accepts it and moves on.
Zhang said she enjoys "Our Flag Means Death" because it introduces complex characters. And unlike other shows, Zhang said this one doesn't play into stereotypical portrayals of stoic, tough men.
"In media, men are usually emotionally repressed," Zhang said. "But in 'Our Flag Means Death,' if a character feels something, they actually express themselves. We see tears falling and men emotionally reaching out to each other."
Not only does the show display examples of healthy masculinity and emotions, it also creates a range of queer characters with unique traits. Some are more outgoing and flamboyant, while others are quieter. Some are more traditionally masculine, while others are not.
Paly senior Jade de Anda said she appreciates the LGBTQ representation in "Our Flag Means Death," highlighting the subtlety and normalization of queer relationships.
"(Being queer) is normalized and part of (the show's) world," de Anda said. "Characters are gay, and it is what it is. It's not something that's put in the spotlight simply to gain a larger following, it's put there because people deserve to be represented."
Compared to other shows, de Anda said "Our Flag Means Death" is a big improvement for representation in media particularly because it clearly depicts a gay relationship.
"A lot of characters in other shows that I thought would be in a relationship would never (be) put into a relationship outwardly; they (were) always just 'implied' to be part of the LGBTQ community," de Anda said. "So I'm really glad (the show) put a gay relationship out in the open like that."
Paly senior Grace Muma agrees with de Anda and said the show subverts tactics used by producers to gain the appeal of LGBTQ audiences without actually showing a queer relationship on screen, also known as queerbaiting.
"The show isn't queerbaiting like a lot of shows do, where they just toe the line between having representation but not fully committing to it so they can still retain the largest audience possible," Muma said.
Zhang also said she commends "Our Flag Means Death" for not falling into common harmful tropes in media like the killing of queer characters, most notably done by TV series such as "Supernatural," "Killing Eve" and "The 100."
Furthermore, she said "Black Sails," similar to "Our Flag Means Death," is a show set in the 1700s focusing on queer pirates, yet some of its queer relationships end in tragedy, another overused trope.
The tendency for queer characters to be killed, especially after a revelation of their queer identity, ultimately perpetuates the idea that queer people are expendable or will never find happiness.
"David Jenkins, the producer of 'Our Flag Means Death,' said in an interview (that) it was going to have a romantic, happy ending," Zhang said. "That brings hope to the viewers because usually, not a lot of queer people get a good ending in TV shows, or any ending at all — they're just written off."
Historical movies and TV shows, especially ones set before the 20th century, almost never have queer representation. Even the few shows that are set in the 1700s and 1800s, including "Harlots," a feminist and lesbian perspective on London brothels, "Gentleman Jack," based on a historical English lesbian figure, and "Black Sails," only have cisgender characters.
In comparison, "Our Flag Means Death" includes characters with different sexualities and non-binary characters, who are often underrepresented in media.
"Including variety (in genders) just brings the show to life because I highly doubt everyone back then was all, 'I'm a man,' or 'I'm a woman,'" Zhang said.
Because of the show's open and healthy representation of queer relationships, de Anda said "Our Flag Means Death" went above and beyond, and she's excited to see how it will proceed.
"When I first started watching, I didn't really know what to expect other than pirates," de Anda said. "However, it exceeded my and especially the LGBTQ community's expectations, and I really hope it gets renewed for season two."

Calif. authorities arrest 42 in gang, drug bust
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. —
Santa Cruz police say dozens of people are facing drug and gang-related charges after a 5-month crackdown on violent gangs by police and federal officials.
The Santa Cruz Sentinel reports that during a series of raids dubbed Operation Southern Exposure, 42 people were arrested.
Authorities told the newspaper on Wednesday that 10 handguns and drugs including methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, marijuana and Ecstasy pills, were also seized.
Santa Cruz police, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials and Drug Enforcement Agency investigators began the joint investigation in May after a spike in violence that included the killings of two Santa Cruz teens by suspected gang members.
An ICE official says of the 42 arrested, nine were detained by immigration officials, while 19 were believed to be members of competing gangs.

Биография
Сергей Булич родился  года в Казани.

В 1882 году успешно окончил Императорский Казанский университет, ученик И. А. Бодуэна де Куртенэ. Преподавал в Петербургском университете, на кафедре сравнительного языкознания и санскрита историко-филологического факультета: с 1885 года — приват-доцент, с 1908 — ординарный профессор, с 1910 — заслуженный профессор. Был профессором (с 1891) и директором (с 1910) Бестужевских Высших женских курсов. Преподавал в Петербургском историко-филологическом институте: с 1895 года — экстраординарный профессор, с 1903 года — ординарный. С 1895 года преподавал также русский язык в гимназии Гуревича.

В 1919 году был арестован ЧК как видный кадет, но благодаря хлопотам ряда тогда ещё относительно влиятельных представителей интеллигенции вскоре освобождён.

С. К. Булич, работавший в основном в Санкт-Петербурге, считается одним из наиболее значительных представителей казанской лингвистической школы. Один из пионеров изучения Индии в Российской империи и один из основоположников (наряду с В. А. Богородицким) экспериментально-фонетических исследований; инициатор создания экспериментально-фонетического кабинета при университете и его первый руководитель (1899). Автор нескольких популярных учебников (в том числе «Введения в языкознание» и «Введения в сравнительное изучение индоевропейских языков»). Был широко известен его «Очерк истории языкознания в России» (1904), за который Буличу была присуждена докторская степень, а в 1905 году вручена Ломоносовская премия.

Буличу принадлежат также музыкальные сочинения и исследования по истории музыки у славянских и финно-угорских народов. Один из организаторов факультета музыки Института истории искусств в Петрограде, декан факультета (с 1920).

Сергей Булич — один из авторов статей в энциклопедии Брокгауза и Ефрона.

Q: Setting a max-height of page-height for a dropdown Say you have a dropdown with a lot of options that overflow the page height. I know I can use overflow: auto to make it scroll, but only if I set it a max-height. How do I set a max-height that ensures the element won't overflow the browser window?
Like in this image
The left is what it's like now. Dropdown overflows page. The right is what it should be like -- the dropdown is resized to be height of just under the page height.
I've tried setting max-height to different values like 45vh since the dropdown is about halfway down the page, but this needs to fit all types of screen sizes so isn't flexible enough.
CSS solutions preferred in this case.

A: You can calculate the current distance between the dropdown and the bottom of the page (https://stackoverflow.com/a/7656176/5370933) and append styles with this value.
.myDropdown {
  max-height: myDistance;
  overflow: scroll
}

I think something like that could works. But you will have to use some JS to get the distance dynamically (depend on the user screen and/or user scroll before the dropdown opening...)

A: If I understood correctly the layout of your web page, the dropdown is the last  element (well maybe) in the page.
What you could do is, first, add this lines to your main page container:
#page {
  min-height: 100vh; /* Or the value you like most */
}

Now we have access to the full height of the document.

Next, you can simply use flexbox's space-between or space-around value to keep the dropdown on the bottom of the page (like footers).
But now, you want a little space between the end of the page and the dropdown. Simply add a margin-bottom and its done.

Now be aware that, I understand that there may be a footer or something below the dropdown. You can implement this solution in any container.

This isn't a bug-free solution, but it doesn't require javascript.

Here is a working example.

function _test_add(){
  document.getElementById("dropdown").innerHTML += "
Item
";
}
#page {
  min-height:100vh;
  display:flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

#addbtn {
  margin:0 auto;
}

/*
 * Fictif Content
 */
#main-content {
  height: 50vh;
  display:flex;
  justify-content:center;
  align-items:center;
  background-color:gray;
}

#dropdown {
  min-height: 8em;
  max-height: 18em;
  background-color:#f1f1f1;
  padding: 0;
  list-style-type: none;
  overflow: auto;
  margin-bottom:4em;
  border: solid black 2px;
}

#dropdown li {
  padding:1em;
}

#dropdown li:nth-child(odd) {
  background-color: #fafafa;
}

Mabry utilizes a rotating block schedule that enables students to meet with their teachers at different times each day. This flexible schedule also allows for block periods on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, as well as the opportunity for students to see teachers for additional help and make-up assignments during Extended Learning Time (ELT). Colors are used in place of class period numbers so as not to confuse what time of day the student will be meeting with a particular class.

Mind-numbing New Age sermons from the author of The Dancing Wu Li Masters (1979). Zukav's purpose is to "describe the next step in our evolutionary journey," a leap from "five-sensory" to "multi-sensory" perception. The former causes wars, sexism, marriage, and other calamities; the latter will bring peace, insight, harmony, joy. Alas, Zukav's argument proceeds by dishing out heaping platters of MacSpiritual chopped meat: we get what we give; we must trust our intuition; we create our own reality. While some will embrace these notions, few can welcome the utterly banal presentation that Zukav gives them, as platitudes elbow one another off the page: "There are so many ways to wisdom and to the heart"; "Everything in the universe evolves"; "When you die, you will leave behind your inadequacies." Others will scratch their heads at his more eccentric beliefs, such as that knowledge of at least some past lives is crucial to self-understanding. And many will wonder how his message represents anything new in human evolution, when said message echoes--without the commensurate insight or beauty--the words of so many ancient scriptures. Boring, didactic, pompous--reading this makes Shirley MacLaine sound like Voltaire at his most tart.

Dmanisi (დმანისი) es un yacimiento arqueológico situado en la república de Georgia, 85 km al sur de Tiflis —en el Próximo Oriente—, en el que se encuentra una larga secuencia estratigráfica que va desde el Pleistoceno inferior hasta la Edad Media. De hecho, en los niveles más antiguos, datados en, como mínimo 1'8 m.a., se han exhumado tanto restos de industria lítica, como abundantes fósiles de animales y lo que podrían ser los restos humanos más antiguos hallados fuera de África.

Hallazgos

La atribución taxonómica de los restos humanos ha resultado controvertida, pues presentan similitudes con Homo erectus y con Homo ergaster, la cuestión no se ha solucionado, pero ha quedado aparcada al darle a los citados fósiles la denominación de Homo georgicus.

Las industrias líticas asociadas a los citados vestigios entran dentro de lo que se ha denominado Pebble culture, es decir, siguen la tradición olduvayense: abundancia de núcleos informes y desorganizados, cantos tallados, lascas, algunas de las cuales estaban retocadas, y numerosos desechos de talla; no obstante no se encontró ningún bifaz, lo que, sumado a la extrema antigüedad de las piezas, ha permitido descartar que se tratase de una industria achelense.

Para fechar los restos se han seguido dos sistemas de datación independientes, por un lado se ha aplicado el método del Potasio-Argón a una capa que situada en la base del asentamiento humano, deparando fechas entre 1,8 y 2 millones de años. El segundo método es el del paleomagnetismo, aplicado sobre un estrato volcánico de basalto que sellaba los restos, proporcionando resultados de polaridad normal correlacionables con el episodio paleomagnético de Olduvai que tuvo lugar dentro del gran evento negativo llamado Matuyama, entre 1,7 y 2 millones de antigüedad.

Por lo que respecta a los restos arqueológicos más modernos, destacan las ruinas de una antigua fortaleza que protegía la ciudad y a los comerciantes que seguían la ruta entre el Imperio bizantino, Persia y Armenia.

Antonio Serón (Calatayud, 1512 - ¿Lérida?, post 1568) fue un humanista y poeta neolatino español.

Biografía

Cursó sus primeras letras en su ciudad natal. En 1530 su padre lo envió, contra su voluntad, al Estudio General de Valencia, donde estudió latín con Jaume Falcó. Antes de finalizar sus estudios superiores, falleció su padre y regresó a Calatayud. Pero el fideicomisario al que su progenitor encargó del cumplimiento del testamento, se arrogó los bienes de la herencia, por lo que Antonio Serón abandonó, en la ruina, su ciudad para alistarse en el ejército que el emperador Carlos V. reclutaba para la Jornada de Argel. Fracasada la batalla y dispersa la flota tras una fuerte tormenta, Serón fue llevado en 1542 a Estambul para ser vendido como esclavo, de donde consiguió huir embarcando en una nave veneciana.

Tras su regreso a España, intentó ganarse la vida como sacerdote, pero fue denunciado por hechicero y condenado a destierro. A partir de este momento, recorrió España buscando su sustento como profesor de Retórica en lugares tan distantes como Tuy o Jerez de la Frontera y escribiendo versos. Su fama de poeta fue extendiéndose y le valió el reconocimiento de Felipe II como «poeta laureado». Su coronación como poeta real le ofreció la oportunidad de ejercer la docencia universitaria, obteniendo, en 1562 una cátedra de Retórica en Lérida.

La biografía sobre Antonio Serón es conocida a través de las noticias que proporciona Ignacio Jordán de Asso, que editó su obra en 1781 con el título de Antonii Seronis bilbilitani carmina. Sin embargo, había noticias anteriores de este escritor, pues tanto Andrés de Uztarroz (en su Aganipe de los cisnes aragoneses celebrados en el clarín de la Fama) como Nicolás Antonio (en notas manuscritas de su Bibliotheca Hispana Nova) lo elogiaron. También apareció retratado por su amigo Diego Ramírez Pagán en su obra Floresta de diversa poesía, publicada en Valencia en 1562.

Obra
La poesía neolatina de Serón contribuye a los esfuerzos humanistas que caracterizan a los escritores aragoneses en el Renacimiento. La obra de Palmireno o las traducciones de poemas de Marcial de Manuel de Salinas, son buena muestra de esta corriente filoclásica.

Su obra más importante es el poema épico en tres libros Aragonia (1566 - 1568), escrito en hexámetros e inspirado en los Anales de la Corona de Aragón de Jerónimo Zurita, en los que cantaba la historia de Aragón hasta la muerte del rey Ramiro I.

También compuso otros poemas latinos, como elegías y silvas. La elegía VII Ad Cynthiam, in qua situs Calaiubae seu Bilbilis describitur, está dedicada a su patria chica. En la silva VI aparece uno de los más tempranos testimonios de la leyenda de Los amantes de Teruel. Cabe mencionar asimismo la VII —un a loa a Valencia—, la IX —que elogia a algunos de los escritores contemporáneos— o la X, dedicada a Diego Ramírez Pagán.

La figura protagonista en sus versos es «Cintia», la personificación de su musa, que acompaña al yo poético en todo momento. José Guillén, editor de la poesía, la caracteriza del siguiente modo:

Del mismo modo, en la propia obra seroniana, concretamente en la silva XI, Cintia se proclama como el dios o musa de sus poemas:

Fue un poeta muy prolífico, y sus composiciones son de gran extensión, no obstante, la poesía neolatina de Serón revela un pulcro estilo, perfecta métrica y no está exenta de pasajes de gran inspiración poética.

When hiking in Yellowstone National Park make sure you are prepared with your own water source, tell someone your hiking plans, including the destination, route, and estimated time of return. This is because the majority of hiking trails are classified as "backcountry" and "wilderness."
This means that there will be unpredictable wildlife, changing weather conditions, and potentially dangerous natural formations such as cold lakes, thermal areas, and loose rocks.
Yellowstone National Park is a wonderful place, if you come prepared, you may just have the time of your life!

Wildlife Viewing: There are over 67 species of mammals and 330 species of birds within the park!
Some of the larger species include bears, wolves, the American bison, bobcats, moose, and elk.
As wildlife viewing is a wonderfully awing and enriching experience, remember, approaching on foot within 100 yards of bears or wolves or within 25 yards of other wildlife is strictly prohibited and could lead to serious injury and you will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law if found guilty.
So it is always better to remain within a safe distance of all wildlife when visiting Yellowstone National Park.
Boating: Private Boating is permitted on most of Yellowstone Lake and on Lewis Lake. Only non-motorized boating is allowed on most of the other lakes in Yellowstone National Park. The Lewis River channel between Lewis and Shoshone lakes is the only river that is open to non-motorized boating.
When boating in Yellowstone National Park each person must have a Coast Guard approved floatation device and have the appropriate permits for their vessel.
Ranger Led Activities:Yellowstone offers ranger-led walks and talks, in various locations throughout the summer months. Summer ranger-led programs run from Memorial Day to Labor Day weekends.
These ranger-led programs are a great way to learn about the park in an interactive setting, the kids will love them!
Yellowstone National Park is so large and there is so much to do there we couldn't fit all the activities on one page. For more activity based information please visit our friends at the National Parks Service here.

Mini-Megaloads Head for Montana via U.S. Highway 95
Posted on October 16, 2013 by WIRT
Oversized shipments depart from Port of Wilma
Mini-megaloads were scheduled to depart the Port of Wilma on Tuesday night and make their way to Montana via U.S. Highway 95 and Interstate 90.
According to a news release from the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), the four loads to be moved by the shipping company Omega Morgan are 20.1 feet wide, 15.6 feet tall, 75 feet long, and weigh less than 80,000 pounds. Although far smaller than the 21-foot-wide, 255-foot-long, and 644,00-pound megaloads that spawned protests and a federal court injunction on U.S. Highway 12 in August, they still required flagging teams and pilot cars. The mini-megaloads also had the potential to cause delays lasting as long as 15 minutes, according to the state.
[ITD lies:] "This is smaller, lighter equipment," said Adam Rush, a spokesman for the transportation department. "This is different equipment; they are called sump sections; it is different from the piece of equipment that is still at the Port of Wilma [because it is no longer attached to it…]." (WIRT emphasis)
In August, the shipment of a massive water evaporator east on U.S. Highway 12, through a portion of the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest, led to four nights of protests, dozens of arrests, and a court case filed by the Nez Perce Tribe and Idaho Rivers United against the U.S. Forest Service. In that case, federal Judge B. Lynn Winmill forced the Forest Service to close the highway to the shipments pending a study by the agency on their effects and consultation with the tribe.
Winmill's injunction stalled plans by Resources Conservation Company International, a subsidiary of General Electric Company (GE) that built the equipment to be used in the tar sands fields of Alberta, Canada, to transport as many as eight similar-sized loads on the highway. One remains in limbo at the Port of Wilma, where it was shipped by barge.
The company asked Winmill to reconsider his decision last month. He did, but refused to stay the injunction. On Friday, the company filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
LuJean Smith, global communications leader for GE Water Process Technologies, declined to comment on the appeal or Tuesday's shipments. The transportation department did not indicate the destination of the smaller loads [which is the same, as a piece of the evaporator…].
