Magic in Motown: Editor's Picks from the Detroit Auto Show
The annual North American International Auto Show wowed in Detroit this January. Here, automotive editor Howard Walker picks his Top 10 Motown showstoppers.
Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Call it the Corvette Double Whammy. First the new Chevrolet C7 'Vette scoops the 2014 North American Car of the Year gong. Then the wraps fly off the hugely-anticipated, mega-performing Z06 version. Congrats, and congrats again. This weapons-grade Corvette is the most track-focused production model ever, sharing much of its hardware with the upcoming C7.R racer. Everywhere you look there are winglets and spoilers, scoops and ducts aimed at keeping the Z-car firmly planted to the blacktop at 200mph. Power comes from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 reactor packing a mighty 625 horses and 635 lb-ft of thrust. Pricing won't be announced until the car goes on sale at the end of the year, but $77,000 is the current finger-in-the-wind estimate.
Porsche 911 Targa 4
As someone who owned and loved an 1982 Porsche 911 SC Targa, waves of nostalgia flooded over me when the silk came off Porsche's newest Targa offering. This is pure retro, with that lovely silver-painted center hoop and curvy rear glass. But unlike my old Targa, which had a folding Origami cloth panel you wrestled into the trunk, this latest version is all push-button simplicity. In a mere 19 seconds, the entire rear window and deck hinges rearwards followed by the center section. Awesome. On sale early summer, the base Targa 4 – all Targas will be all-wheel drive – will cost you $102,595, which is a $10k premium over the coupe. I want.
Lexus slammed down the gauntlet to rival BMW and its brand new M4 Coupe at Detroit with the unveiling of its angry-appliance RC F super-coupe. This is the hyper-performance version of Lexus' newly revealed RC coupe and features a thundering 460-hp 5.0-liter V8 under the hood driving the rear wheels. That makes it the most powerful Lexus second only to the V10-engined LFA supercar. But it's the RC F's body that will spin heads like a tin pot dropped on a stone floor. From Lexus' new trademark 'spindle' grille, to the blistered wheelarches, huge rear diffuser and trunklid wing, the car screams 'performance'. No word yet on when it will arrive or how much. Subtle it's not.
Toyota FT-1 Concept
If there was a 'Most Jaw-dropping Design of Detroit' award, it would go without a shadow of doubt to Toyota's sensational FT-1 Concept. Then again, if there was a 'Tease of the Show' accolade, the FT would get it too. This glorious front-engined supercar is the work of Toyota's Calty design studio in Southern Cali and was created in conjunction with Sony's Polyphony Digital, makers of the Gran Turismo video-game franchise. Gamers can 'drive' it soon in the upcoming sixth-gen version of Gran Turismo. But this engine-less concept isn't much more than a pretty face. And it's likely to stay that way, despite some media hype that it may hint at a future Toyota Supra coupe. We can dream however.
You're looking at Fluidic Sculpture. That's what Hyundai calls its bold new design language debuting on its latest 2015 Genesis sedan. We might prefer to call it a Fluidic Touch of Audi. Whether you think this deep-down grille is Audi-esque or not, this is one handsome-looking four-door which looks like it should sell for $50,000-plus, yet in Hyundai fashion will sell closer to $35,000. It's all sexy LED lights, wafer-thin panel gaps, and elegant brushed metal. Gorgeous. And under the hood is a choice of 257-hp 3.0 V6 or 435-horse 5.0-liter V8 plus the option of all-wheel drive. It hits showrooms in the summer.
Kia's GT4 Stinger Concept
Sports car lovers dream of fun drivers like this. A skinny-light, sexy-styled, rear-drive coupe with a 315-horse turbo four banger, six-speed stick and a sticker in the mid-$20s. Kia's GT4 Stinger Concept may have a dumb name, but it checks all the right boxes. The Korean auto maker's California design studio came up with the coupe's gorgeous wrapper which has more bulges than Kim Kardashian in Spandex, a front end with flavors of Audi's R8 and a very Volvo-esque rear. At 2800 pounds its a waif, which should mean fab performance. But stop salivating; right now it's just a concept.
Cadillac ATS Coupe
There's no rocket science here. Just like Caddy's previous-gen CTS sedan spawned a two-door coupe, the smaller ATS sedan would also go two-door. But there's just a soupçon of disappointment; after the rakish, razor-edged CTS Coupe, this ATS version is about as visually exciting as a cube of tofu. It's like something the design team put together at ten-till-five on a Friday afternoon. Yes, it's pretty, but it could have been so much more. And what's doubly disappointing is that with the introduction of the ATS Coupe, Caddy says there's no need for a CTS two-door. Not fair.
The rocket is back. And about time too; we've missed ya. In the same way that BMW's new coupe and convertible versions of the 3-series are now branded '4s', so it is with the M Coupe. But gone is the previous naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter V8. In it's place is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 rated at 425-hp – 11 more than the old V8 – with a whopping 406 lb-ft of torque available from just 1800rpm. That's an impressive 111 lb-ft increase. Standard shifter is a manual six-speed with an available seven-speed dual clutch auto. Expect 0-to-60 sprinting in around 3.9 secs. They've also hacked around 150 pounds from the weight of the old M3 which should do wonders for the new coupe's handling. Expect it here by late spring.
Anyone who thought that Mercedes' perky 'Priced-From-$29,995' CLA would rob sales from the best-selling C-Class may want to take a look at this all-new C. And think again. This stunning sedan is now a Mini-Me version of the flagship S-Class featuring many of the S-Class' cool styling cues. Gaze at it head-on and you could easily be mistaken that you're looking at an S. I love the new headlamps with their sliver of LEDs, the gaping lower intakes and the long, long hood and short rear deck. It's more accommodating too thanks to an extra three inches between the wheels and extra 3.7 inches overall. Initial engine offerings include a 235-hp turbo 2.0-liter four for the C300 and a 329-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 for the C400. Stateside sales start in the fall.
Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge Concept
If you're Infiniti and a key sponsor of the hugely-successful Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team, you too would want some of the team's pixie-dust to rub-off on your production cars. So put your hands together for the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge Concept. For those scratching their head, Eau Rouge is an infamous corner at the Spa Francorchamps race track in Belgium. Why they didn't simply call the car the Q50 Red Bull I don't know. Based on the stock Q50, this so-called concept features a myriad of go-faster body add-ons, like a carbon fiber roof and side skirts, carbon splitters, new bulging steel fenders, and huge 21-inch alloys. No word on the motor under the hood, but Infiniti hints at a honking V8 with over 500 horses and 600 lb-ft of twist. We say "bring it on".

Traffic in Hanoi is beyond insane: a chaotic jumble of motorbikes, cars, and pedestrians going every which way.
My first morning in Vietnam I awoke to a room with no electricity. When I went downstairs to ask the receptionist what was going on, he told me "The government cut off the power." It was all very matter-of-fact.
My street: guesthouses and hostels and restaurants galore.
The area of town I'm staying in, the old quarter, is clearly one of those districts that subsists more or less solely on tourism. Although my previous description of Hanoi holds true – about how it's remarkably un-Westernized, with no convenience stores, fast food, or easily recognizable chain businesses – at least in this little area I do get the support of a zillion tightly packed guesthouses and restaurants with English picture-menus.
My hotel is just a minute's walk from Hoàn Kiếm Lake, a wonderfully pleasant spot for a quick stroll to break up a long day's work.
In truth, I'm not here for tourism anyway – at least not yet. All I need for now is a comfortable room and some convenient places to eat.
Perhaps my favorite "convenient place to eat" is this baguette-maker, just in front of my hotel. For barely $1 you can get a huge sandwich with tuna, bacon, ham, chicken, eggs, cheese, and a generous helping of veggies.
Because my dad isn't scheduled to arrive until May 2nd, I've set aside the next week and a half for catching up on work and preparing for his visit. This means days spent buried in code, reading Lonely Planet, or walking across town and talking to tourist companies.
Each type of trade seems to have its own specialty street: a street for bamboo, a street for sunglasses, a street for silk, a street for vegetables, a street for anything else you could possibly think of.
And although not as fast-paced as my usual method of travel, the numerous cross-town walks in search of tour operators provided a nice little peek at what life in Northern Vietnam might be like – similar to the "pseudo-tourism" I experienced while apartment hunting in Bangkok.
Unsurprisingly, Hanoi boasts its fair share of communist monuments. One day on the way to a haircut (not from the guy shown above), I stumbled by "Lenin Park" – featuring a towering statue of the man himself.
During my preparations I made my way through parks and by lakes, along what was clearly the commercial center, and through numerous little neighborhoods. I got to taste a wide variety of food – from French-influenced baguettes to the iconic Vietnamese Pho. I shopped in supermarkets, bought bananas from little old ladies in conical straw hats, and scouted out as much of Hanoi as time (and weather) would allow.
Though not as colorful as Melaka's, Hanoi does have some trishaws of its own.
Note: These posts are behind realtime; the above took place on Thursday, April 21st.
Vietnam looks crazy! Awesome you get to have another adventure with your pops.
the motorbike tour sounds FUN!
Can't wait to read on! motorbike tour!!!

The report looked at the changing face of the power generation industry and how it will change by the year 2050. Wind and solar are set to surge to almost "50 by 50" – 50% of world generation by 2050 – on the back of precipitous reductions in cost, and the advent of cheaper batteries that will enable electricity to be stored and discharged to meet shifts indemand and supply. Coal shrinks to just 11% of global electricity generation by 2050.
Focusing on the electricity system, the New Energy Outlook (NEO) combines the expertise of over 65 in-house country and technology-level specialists in 12 countries to provide a unique assessment of the economic drivers and tipping points that will shape the sector to 2050. Since the 1970s, fossil fuels have commanded a consistent 60-70% share of the global power generation mix. However this 50-year equilibrium is coming to an end, as cheap renewable energy and batteries fundamentally remake electricity systems around the world, the report states.
NEO 2018 sees USD $11.5 trillion being invested globally in new power generation capacity between 2018 Power gen to undergo radical change by 2050 and 2050, with USD $8.4 trillion of that going to wind and solar and a further $1.5 trillion to other zerocarbon technologies such as hydro and nuclear. Cheap renewable energy and batteries fundamentally reshape the electricity system, as we shift from two-thirds fossil fuels in 2017, to two-thirds renewable energy in 2050.
By 2050, wind and solar technology provide almost 50% of total electricity globally – "50 by 50" – with hydro, nuclear and other renewables taking total zero-carbon electricity up to 71%. By 2050, only 29% of the electricity production worldwide is expected to result from burning fossil fuels, down from 63% today.
This dramatic shift to "50 by 50" is being driven by cheap solar photo voltaic (PV), cheap wind, and falling battery costs. The cost of an average PV plant falls by 71% by 2050. Wind energy is getting cheaper too, expected to drop 58% by 2050. PV and wind are already cheaper than building new large-scale coal and gas plants. Batteries are also dropping dramatically in cost.
Coal will shrink to just 11% of global electricity generation by 2050, from 38% currently. Gas consumption for power generation remains flat out to 2050, despite growing capacity. Gas plays a key role, however, in backing up renewables during extremes and wind and solar generation are at a minimum.
Electric vehicles add around 3,461TWh of new electricity demand globally by 2050, equal to 9% of total demand.
About half of the necessary charging for electric vehicles will be dynamic, taking advantage of times when electricity prices are low because of high renewables output. As renewable penetration rises and existing large-scale plant retire, new flexibility becomes a top priority. Dedicated flexible capacity grows almost six-fold, rising to 15% of the total power mix by 2050. Batteries make up around 44% of this and account for 70% of new build, along with demand response and peaker gas.
Europe – By 2050, renewables make up 87% of the electricity mix, with wind and solar playing a dominant role. Cheap renewables, flexible demand and batteries combine to shift the European power system away from fossil fuels and nuclear to one built around variable renewables and emissions-free energy.
Germany – Germany sees rapid change to 2025 with coal and gas generation falling 29%, nuclear phased-out and renewables topping 70% of generation. Battery deployment helps renewables reach higher penetration but, in the absence of policy intervention, cheap lignite is likely to remain in place. By 2050, Germany is running on 74% wind and solar and 84% renewables, but it has the highest emissions in Europe.
United Kingdom – The UK's plan to close its remaining coal-fired power stations by 2025 reduces the role of fossil fuels in generation to 12% by 2030. At the same time, growth in high capacity factor offshore wind pushes renewables up to 73% of generation. By 2050, the UK has added 158GW of wind and solar, as well as 49GW of batteries and renewables provide 83% of generation.
United States – The US electricity system continues to replace aging coal and nuclear with cheaper gas and renewable resources, assuming there is no lasting federal policy intervention to prevent their retirement. Coal and nuclear are pushed out by age and economics, such that by 2050 both nuclear and coal have almost disappeared from the electricity mix. Batteries grow in significance from around 2030, supporting renewables penetration, which reaches 55% in 2050. In that year, emissions are 58% lower than they are today.
China – China sees peak coal generation and peak emissions in 2030, as the world's biggest electricity system reaches 39% renewables penetration with 23GW of batteries. China will continue to be the largest market for wind and solar, which grow from 7% to 46% combined of total generation by 2050. By that time China has 1.1TW of solar PV and 1TW of wind – equivalent to 21% of all the PV and a third of all the wind power installed globally.
India – India has the cheapest new wind and solar anywhere in the world. This poses a profound challenge to the orthodoxy there that coal is forever king. While coal-fired electricity is expected to continue to grow in India in the short to medium term, by 2050 wind and solar dominate, supported by batteries and flexible gas. This pushes India's emissions 22% below what they are today.
Japan – Japan's electricity system remains relatively coal-heavy for much of the next 33 years, even as strong renewables growth and nuclear restarts squeeze gas out of the mix. By 2050, renewables account for almost three quarters of electricity generation, with PV supplying 43%, up from 6% today. Negative demand growth and strong consumer uptake of small-scale PV and batteries make Japan one of the more decentralized power systems in the world, with 34% of installed capacity behind-the-meter.
Australia – Australia's power system is on track to become one of the two most decentralized in the world, with consumer PV and behind-themeter batteries making up 44% of all capacity. This represents a dramatic turnaround from the largely coal-fired system of today. Wind, PV and batteries form the backbone of this new system, where coal has all but disappeared.
South Korea – South Korea's generation mix shifts from 72% coal and nuclear in 2017 to 71% gas and renewables in 2050. Utility-scale batteries and peaker gas plants become a crucial part of Korea's future power system, supporting growing offshore wind and PV, as the country's aging coal and nuclear plant retire.

When people trust the care of their children to a company such as a nursery they usually do so because that company has demonstrated that trust isn't misplaced. This could be done by the volume of staff they have along with the required qualifications or it might be down to the policies and procedures they have in place. One thing that parents might expect a nursery to have before leaving their children in their care could be appropriate nursery insurance. This along with other documentation could be an essential part of giving parents the peace of mind that their children may be safe both on the premises and with the staff members.
If something were to go wrong at a children's nursery the consequences could be very far reaching and therefore nursery owners might wish to have the most robust nursery insurance policy possible. For many running something such as a nursery might not be possible without some suitable children's nursery insurance in place. Whilst protecting children from harm might be the top priority nobody really wants to pay over the odds for insurance and therefore searching for cheap nursery insurance may result in getting a more affordable policy for a nursery business.
A way to compare UK policies for nursery insurance could be to search online in order to find a range of providers that might offer appropriate insurance coverage. Most nurseries may want to be protected for public liability and employer liability as well as protecting their business premises and contents. Being covered in the event of a claim from a member of the public could be damaging to any nursery business. It could also be highly destructive to the nursery's reputation and owners may want to do their utmost to prevent this happening by making sure they have suitable cover.

Juarez health workers get first COVID-19 vaccines
Mexican government promises additional shipments of the Pfizer vaccine in each of the next two weeks
EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – The first doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Juarez on Wednesday, and several front-line health workers received the first shots.
"It's a great day … we started vaccinating healthcare workers," said Dr. Arturo Valenzuela, head of the Chihuahua state Health Department in Juarez. "This is but one step toward (controlling) the pandemic, but like we've been saying, the best vaccine is prevention."
The Mexican government flew in 14,625 vaccines to the state capital of Chihuahua City on Tuesday evening. Health officials said the Mexican Army is keeping a tight control on the distribution, so they didn't immediately know how many vaccines each public hospital in Juarez received.
Health workers have to be on a priority list submitted by each hospital's director and vetted by Mexican federal officials.
On Wednesday morning, state officials transmitted on Facebook Live how some health workers in Chihuahua City were getting their shots. None showed a negative reaction to the vaccine.
The state will get an additional shipment of vaccines the week of Jan. 19 and a third batch the week of Jan. 25, said Dr. Wendy Avila, deputy coordinator of preventive health services in the state. All those doses are still expected to go to front-line health care workers.
Valenzuela said the general population would get vaccines according to a previously released priority list kept by the federal government. The list shows health workers have first priority, followed by people over 80 years old, then those 70 and up and so on.

He said it will be difficult to vaccinate migrants in transit because people will need to sign up for a vaccine and wait an undetermined amount of time to be called. "If they're here only temporarily, they'll be gone when their time (to get the vaccine) comes," he said.
Valenzuela said state officials have been pleasantly surprised by having only a mild post-holidays COVID-19 spike. Chihuahua on Wednesday reported 177 new cases and 29 fatalities. Most of the new cases were reported in Juarez (102), which added eight fatalities to its grim tally.

TIJUANA (Border Report) -- Friday morning, a black duffle bag was discovered on the streets of Tijuana filled with body remains including two legs, and not too far away, a black plastic bag was located containing a decapitated human torso.
This type of discovery has become common place as the level of violence and the number of murders in this city remains high.

El PASO, Texas (Border Report) – Mexican workers abroad sent a record $36.9 billion to their homeland in the first 11 months of 2020, and some of that went to families in Tijuana, Juarez and other cities bordering the U.S.
According to data released this month by the Bank of Mexico, remittances rose 11% through November of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 and eclipsed the record $36.4 billion sent in all of 2019. This, despite a COVID-19 pandemic that cost millions of people their jobs in the United States and prompted many others to tighten spending.
EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – The border wall is crucial to keeping drugs and unauthorized migrants out of the country, so halting construction will have dire consequences for Americans, a New Mexico congresswoman says.
The comments by U.S. Rep. Yvetter Herrell, R-New Mexico, come as President-elect Joe Biden prepares to take office, bringing campaign promises to not only stop the construction of his predecessor's steel bollard barrier with Mexico but also tear down the "legal wall" of procedural rules that keeps asylum seekers on the other side of the border.

Kam Chancellor Updates: 9/13/15
Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor will watch his team's season opener against the Rams today from afar, but Ian Rapoport of NFL.com suggests that there is potential for a compromise at some point in the near future. Here are a few notes on Chancellor's situation, and we will update this post as necessary should there be any further developments in this saga today:
Rapoport tweets that Chancellor wants to earn $9MM in 2016, while the Seahawks have offered to pay him $8.1MM, with no change in his 2015 payout.
In a separate tweet, Rapoport adds that Chancellor wants the team to waive all of the fines that he has accrued over the course of his holdout. The Seahawks, though, have been unwilling to waive everything at this time. As Jason Fitzgerald of OverTheCap.com points out (via Twitter), between salary and bonus money, Chancellor could potentially lose $500,000 just by missing today's game.
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports writes that the best way for Chancellor to get his fines waived would be to allow the Seahawks to facilitate the resolution. League sources indicate that if Chancellor reports to the team and appears to be in good shape, a compromise could be reached in short order. However, although Seattle is open to waiving a substantial portion of the fines that Chancellor has accrued and to shifting some future money into next year's contract, the team does not plan on dramatically sweetening his deal. After all, Chancellor is already the top-earning strong safety in the game.
Former Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson, who currently works as an NFL Media analyst, says Chancellor wants to be paid for more than just his work as a strong safety. Per Robinson, "[Chancellor] does a lot of (head coach) Pete Carroll's dirty work. He talks to players who need talking to because again, Pete doesn't accentuate the negative." Robinson also says that Chancellor lines up fellow safety Earl Thomas on every play, which Thomas himself confirmed (via Connor Orr of NFL.com).

Red Hook Summer
Review by Elliott
Red Hook Summer 2012 ★★½
Watched Aug 19, 2020
Elliott's review published on Letterboxd:
Littered with flaws and misguided decisions, but I find it hard to take a firm stance against such a clearly personal film from Spike Lee, especially one with such thematic depth. The dichotomy between the Church and religion seems to be the main point of focus here, contrasting the admirable ethos of spiritual enlightenment that illuminates much of the historical dogma of many faiths with the relative evils of the organised structures supposedly built to accommodate such beliefs. Clarke Peters' central performance is the key to this, an anchor tying down the rest of the film's loose structure and often messy collection of ideas; elated during the memorable and uplifting sermons, but underlined by an inner tragedy and evil, seething beneath the surface in his mannerisms. Still, his absolute dedication to the faith cannot be denied, but whether his principles can excuse his past desires is the pivotal question that Lee investigates in a screenplay at once bursting with worthwhile ideas, but inarticulate and amateurish when it comes to presenting them in a cohesive manner. In fact, some of the film's charm stems from this amateur, seemingly underrehearsed nature.
Shot on a micro-budget over 18 days, Red Hook Summer is a continuation in both environment and theme of his very earliest films and this (admittedly often over-romanticised) concept of a filmmaker returning to his roots transplants a story otherwise laden with outdated commentary on technology and the modern state of youth culture into a location with an intangible earthiness which Lee feels very much in his element. After spending a few years dabbling in New Orleans and abroad entirely, Spike's return to New York sees him examine the structural landscape of the projects not in terms of outside political/societal forces (such as in Clockers or Do the Right Thing) or romantic interpersonal drama (She's Gotta Have It) but the purely internal struggles between different offsets of African-American culture, all connected by skin colour, socioeconomic standing and, in this case, a religious upbringing. Generational differences and disputes have permeated throughout Lee's work, but here it is perhaps most overt.
Overall one struggles to know what to make of such a film; one so admirable in intent yet so flawed in execution. There's entertainment here, and genuine insight and craft also, but to engage with it one must look past editing, pacing, cinematography and narrative cohesion that regresses its director's talents by almost three decades. Still, though I may prefer BlacKkKlansman in practise, in theory I'd rather Spike continued to make more small-budget, intimate and reflective films such as this… hopefully Netflix can fund some more in the future considering Da 5 Bloods' success and acclaim.

Softball sweeps doubleheader
Kerry Healy
The Quinnipiac softball team defeated Saint Francis (Pa.) in a doubleheader on Sunday, 2-0 and 11-3, after dropping two to Robert Morris on Saturday.
After striking out 10 batters in the first game, and five batters in the second, pitcher Heather Schwartzburg broke her own record for season strikeouts. Schwartzburg set the record last year during her sophomore season. She now has 265 strikeouts for the 2011 season.
Schwartzburg secured the win in both games, pitching a complete game, three-hit shutout in the first game. In Game 2, she allowed two runs, one earned, and four hits in four innings, earning her 20th and 21st victories of the season.
Jordan Paolucci continued to provide the offense its power, going 3-for-4 in both games combined, including a three-run home run.
In the first game, the Bobcats (29-24, 13-7 NEC) scored their first run in the top of the second on Kim Brzezinski's RBI single to third base, driving in Paolucci.
The Bobcats added their final run in the top of the sixth off of a sacrifice fly from Jacqueline Ristow.
In the second game, the Bobcats raced out to an early lead. Lauren Salgado and Alex Alba singled to get on base, and Paolucci drove them in on a three-run home run.
Quinnipiac scored three more runs in the top of the fourth. Joelle Jacobsen singled up the middle, driving in Kortney Kesses and advancing Brzezinski to third.
Brzezinski scored on a throwing error, and Kesses scored for the final run of the inning on Salgado's single.
The Bobcats scored five more runs in the top of the fifth and cruised to the 11-3 victory. Emily O'Keefe came in for Schwartzburg to finish the game, allowing just one run in her inning of work.
The Bobcats will host Fairfield on Thursday at 3:30 p.m. at the Quinnipiac Softball Field.

The First AIDS Drugs
Faced with the burgeoning HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, NCI's intramural program developed the first therapies to effectively treat the disease. These discoveries helped transform a fatal diagnosis to the manageable condition it is for many today.

Faced with the burgeoning HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, NCI's intramural program developed the first therapies to effectively treat the disease. The NCI efforts drew upon its established expertise in virology, tumor biology and the immune system and was enabled by the inherent flexibility of the NIH intramural research program to respond quickly to new crises. The discoveries of NCI researchers in the early days of HIV/AIDS were vital in transforming HIV infection from a fatal diagnosis to the manageable condition it is for many today.
Patients with the mysterious immune disorder now known as AIDS had been arriving at the NIH Clinical Center since 1981. When the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was identified by Luc Montagnier, M.D., at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, and then shown by NCI's Robert Gallo, M.D., in 1984 to be the cause of AIDS, NCI scientists were poised to rapidly act on the discoveries.
At the time, there were almost no effective antiviral drugs for any disease, and it was unclear whether stopping HIV from replicating was feasible or would allow patients' immune systems to recover from an infection. But NCI's Samuel Broder, M.D., Hiroaki Mitsuya, M.D., Ph.D., and Robert Yarchoan, M.D., searched for compounds that inhibited viral growth in the laboratory and then immediately initiated first-in-human trials at the NIH Clinical Center to test them in patients. NCI's strong industry collaborations helped speed patient access to the new drugs.
The NCI researchers first focused on a viral enzyme called reverse transcriptase that HIV needs to multiply. They developed an assay to test the utility of drugs against HIV and gathered a number of promising compounds to test. Azidothymidine (AZT), a compound first synthesized by Jerome Horowitz, Ph.D., in 1964 as an anti-cancer drug, was among the drugs initially tested. In a preliminary clinical trial done largely in the NIH Clinical Center, NCI scientists showed that AZT could improve the immune function of AIDS patients. In a randomized trial, it was subsequently shown to improve survival of AIDS patients. In 1987, it became the first drug approved by the U.S. FDA for treatment of the disease. AZT was subsequently shown to markedly reduce the perinatal transmission of HIV.
Because AZT was not entirely effective by itself, NCI scientists continued to develop and test other drugs to treat AIDS, including the reverse transcriptase inhibitors didanosine (ddI) and zalcitabine (ddC). These became the second and third drugs approved by the FDA for AIDS. Combining AZT with one of these drugs improved the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy.
Unfortunately, patients often developed resistance to these drugs. As researchers learned more about HIV in the following years, they were able to develop drugs that attacked the virus in new ways. NCI scientists helped map out the structure of another essential viral enzyme, the HIV protease, to guide the design of a new class of HIV drugs. When combined with reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, developed in the mid-1990s, dramatically suppressed replication of the virus, often reducing it to undetectable levels.
The number of AIDS-related deaths in the U.S., which exceeded 40,000 in 1995, declined rapidly after the introduction of this combination therapy, called highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). HAART has dramatically reduced AIDS mortality and transmission of the virus in many parts of the world where there has been ready access to the medication. It has also markedly reduced the development of the many AIDS-related cancers that are associated with immunodeficiency. CCR scientists have continued to study the virus, including malignancies such as Kaposi sarcoma that are related to and influenced by HIV infection, and patients living with HIV today have even more treatment options.

YMCA--A Better Picture of Discipleship?
I'm sitting in the 'Coffee Nook' of the local YMCA like I do every Friday night. We arrive at about 5 p.m., and after my eldest son runs off to his soccer practice, and I get my other two kids to their respective childcare spots, I usually grab a cup of Java and find a comfortable place in this 'kids free zone' haven they have carved out near the lobby. I plug my headphones in, throw my iTunes Party Shuffle on, and settle in to spend some quiet time preparing for our Sunday morning up/rooted teaching times.
Tonight as I was paused for a minute (trying to get someone who had a clue to let me know if their WiFi was working), I took notice around me at something that I hadn't really paid much attention to before: all around me passed people of various ethnicities and ages—all here for different reasons. For some, the Y holds a place where they can unwind after a long day's work. For others, it is a place to meet up with friends for a game of racquetball or basketball. Some come to pursue greater health in their lives. Still others hang out at the soccer fields or around the pool—visiting with friends and acquaintances they will likely not see apart from this weekly practice pilgrimage. Others come, like me, to find a quiet spot to enjoy a semi-decent cup of flavored coffee and read a book, the day's news, or tie-up some loose ends for work.
Different people come for different reasons, each looking for fulfillment of some individual wish/desire in their lives.
Some come once a week, others are involved in much greater detail, from several times a week, to daily, and more.
It's a warming thought to me, for some reason. I think the Y has it right (not that I'm arguing that we should all just skip our weekly worship times and head to the Y together for a workout). They understand that although the "picture" is the same for all—a balance in all aspects of who we are—how that is accomplished is different for each person. Should everyone be told, "If you really want to be healthy, you'll join that step aerobics class. It worked for me, after all!"? What if everyone who stepped through the doors here were given a "guide" to ideal health, complete with appropriate steps to take (in sequential order, of course)? Start with learning to use the cardio equipment. Then, move on to the weights. Once you become really focused, you should step into one of the "Step Aerobics" groups. Then pick racquetball, swimming, or another activity for those who are more "dedicated" to their growth. And then, when you've really arrived, you should start a Pilates class you can lead yourself.
I think if they did these things we would begin to see the membership numbers dwindling and Y's beginning to close their doors before long.
I think it is essential for churches to understand that the "one-size-fits-all" view of discipleship is not only unrealistic, but possibly unhealthy. People are at different points and they don't always fit a certain step (or baseball "base"). For some they need to join on the large level with other worshippers—finding a place to lay their cares, worries, and agendas aside to focus on He who desires our focus. Some need their knowledge base of who God is in their lives expanded—although that might come as much from connecting one-on-one with another Christian in an informal environment, swapping spiritual stories, as from a discipleship class, or Sunday School or home group.
We need to put the Christian cookie-cutter back in the drawer and begin to learn how to create beautiful delicacies from the ingredients that are provided to us—on a person-by-person basis. Yes, it's more difficult to help others in this way, but once we do, I believe we'll begin to see people walking out of the church doors healthier than when they walked in.

PUNCHING IN: Spotlight on SCOTUS
Chris Opfer
Ben Penn: This week brings a potentially high-stakes Fair Labor Standards Act case to the fore at the U.S. Supreme Court, with oral arguments on Wednesday in Encino Motorcars v. Navarro , Part 2.
If the title brings to mind a sequel to the 1992 Pauly Shore masterpiece "Encino Man," you probably need a quick refresher: This case will mark the second time in less than two years that the parties debate before the high court whether a Mercedes Benz dealership's service advisers are exempt from federal overtime requirements. But this time, the feds are absent.
Two years ago, Labor and Justice teamed up on a brief in support of the workers' right to time-and-a-half pay, and the solicitor general presented oral argument, too. The Supreme Court kicked the case back down to the Ninth Circuit, with instructions to ignore the DOL's 2011 rule stating that service advisers are due overtime because they don't fall within the FLSA's exemption for car salesmen, mechanics, and partsmen.
But even without showing deference to the 2011 reg, the appeals court ruled for the workers again, based on the law's text and legislative history. So back to the Supreme Court we go tomorrow (follow our coverage from Bloomberg Law's Jon Steingart ).
Depending on which attorney you're talking to, there's a possibility this seemingly narrow case can be a vehicle for the SCOTUS to establish a broader reading of exemptions to the federal statute. In essence, such a decision would reduce the number of workers allowed to bring minimum wage and overtime claims against their employers.
However the ruling goes, it's intriguing that the Trump DOL opted not to file a brief on this iteration of Encino. Instead, the Wage and Hour Division quietly announced on Jan. 5 that it would stop enforcing the policy that service advisers don't meet the overtime pay exemption. The agency said it would decide what's next depending on the outcome of the Supreme Court's Encino ruling and that new WHD guidance is possible.
You might think the government agency charged with enforcing and regulating the FLSA would have a compelling interest to weigh in as an amicus, even if that meant switching sides to join industry. After all, the Trump administration has appeared to relish reversing some Obama legal positions involving the workplace (see Janus, Zarda, Murphy Oil).
But deliberate Labor Secretary Alex Acosta had a few possible reasons for telling his attorneys to sit this one out. For starters, Acosta and the Trump-appointed DOJ solicitor general could have decided they don't want to defend the Obama administration's position. Rather than flip this time, they can now move to reverse the position more subtly by keeping their yappers shut.
Second, Acosta has an interest in building a good reputation with the justices. He may suspect that the majority-conservative high court will rule in favor of the car dealership and doesn't want his name associated with the losing team. But if Acosta's legal team argues against workers getting overtime, he could take a political beating for being anti-employee.
And finally, his legal shop had to put out enough fires this past year and with a skeleton crew of politicals. Why incur all the risks of wading into a matter that gives him practically zero window for victory?
Chris Opfer: The Supreme Court is also scheduled to soon reconsider the issue of forced union fees for public sector workers. That happens late next month. Even the most optimistic organized labor supporters are bracing for the justices to ban "fair share" arrangements in the Janus case.
"Justice Gorsuch will be the fifth vote to make it really hard for public sector unions to organize," Democratic National Committee Chairman (and former Obama labor secretary) Tom Perez told me last week. "There's little doubt in anyone's mind what the court is going to do there."
Critics say those fees violate government workers' free speech rights.
Unions and their allies have been preparing for life after fair share fees since at least 2015, when the high court agreed to hear a similar challenge in the Friedrichs case. That one ended in a 4-4 draw after former Justice Antonin Scalia died. Gorsuch—who replaced Scalia on the bench—is widely expected to side against the fees this time around.
Some would like to give unions a hand by shifting the cost of collective bargaining to state and local governments. But that's going to be a tough sell, because some of the states with the strongest government worker unions are also home to already high taxes. The new tax law limits state and local tax (SALT) deductions, meaning that lawmakers will be under pressure to cut spending. New money for labor groups representing a relatively small portion of workers will be hard to come by.
"Unions have a lot of power in some legislatures, but they prefer the current system because they don't have to compete with other interests in the budget," Patrick Semmens, a spokesman for the National Right to Work Committee, recently told me. The group's litigation arm is challenging fair share fees in the Janus case.
I'll be looking at some of the other options for unions in a post-Janus world later today.
BP: Now that we know the department is swerving around Encino Motors, the question is, what is DOL's legal shop actually doing to move the agenda forward?
Well, I don't have the answer, but I do have some news that will help us get there: Newly confirmed Solicitor Kate O'Scannlain lands at the Frances Perkins Building this week for her first official day of service, a DOL spokesman tells me. She'll be joined by Preston Rutledge, the new Employee Benefits Security Administration leader, and Katherine McGuire, DOL's assistant secretary for congressional and intergovernmental affairs.
O'Scannlain, arriving from Kirkland & Ellis, is a relative unknown to labor and employment insiders, although we've spilled plenty of ink on her. O'Scannlain's work behind the scenes on the L&E aspects of mergers and acquisitions has kept her visibility low. Her new job will also keep her mostly out of the public eye, but it has major implications for the future DOL posture on litigation, regulations, and enforcement. Her boss, Acosta, was said to be in line for the solicitor post before Andy Puzder's labor secretary nomination went up in flames. He will probably have a keen interest in O'Scannlain's work during the early days of her government service debut.
The permanence of a Senate-confirmed solicitor could lead to some sweeping modifications eventually at a variety of DOL agencies. Some folks wonder if O'Scannlain will deliver a dramatic flurry of activity, ala Peter Robb, the newish NLRB general counsel. But while O'Scannlain and Robb are both the top prosecutors at their agencies, the parallels end there.
The Obama administration's Patricia Smith, whose old office O'Scannlain is inheriting, told me that the DOL's new chief legal officer and Robb, a longtime labor practitioner, are different breeds. "She's never been in government and she doesn't have a deep background in labor law," Smith, now a senior counsel at the National Employment Law Project, said of O'Scannlain. "She's going to have a steep learning curve—both institutionally and substantively."
To the extent we get major reversals in legal interpretation in her opening months at DOL, it's more likely that will originate via orders from the Justice Department.
CO: We're less than 11 months away from the midterm elections and all eyes in D.C. are already on the ballot boxes. Democrats certainly sound confident about winning back control of at least one chamber of Congress, but the electoral map paints a tough road ahead. Republicans have a 44-member lead in the House, where every seat is up in 2018. And they occupy only eight of the 34 Senate seats in play.
A recent development out of North Carolina offers some good news for Perez and the DNC. It also could make House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) less of a shoe-in to stay at the Capitol.
A federal court last week ordered the Tar Heel State to redraw its congressional districts. The current map, the three-judge panel said, is so slanted that it gives Republicans an unfair advantage. North Carolina is an increasingly purple battleground state with a Democratic governor where Donald Trump won by less than 4 percent. But 10 of its 13 congressional seat are held by Republicans.
State lawmakers have until the end of the month to come up with a new map. They're also likely to appeal the decision, perhaps all the way up to SCOTUS. A new map could mean a strong challenge for Foxx from either or both sides.
"If this map gets redrawn, all 10 of the Republicans in our delegation have to worry," North Carolina State political science professor Steven Greene told me.
BP: We're punching out. Daily Labor Report subscribers can check in during the week for updates. In the meantime, feel free to reach out to us: copfer@bloomberglaw.com and bpenn@bloomberglaw.com or on Twitter: @ChrisOpfer and @BenjaminPenn.
Congress and the White House have until Friday to come up with a deal to avoid a government shutdown, a process that's been tied to Democratic demands that Trump do something to protect young undocumented immigrants brought to the country at an early age. Bloomberg Law's Laura Francis tells us that the DACA program currently protecting those dreamers doesn't run out until March, but the government would likely need some time before that to get a new program up and running.
Meanwhile, Jay-Anne Casuga and Jacquie Lee are looking at efforts to increase diversity in the tech sector, and Jaclyn Wille is crunching some big numbers in ERISA class action settlements. Capitol Hill reporter Tyrone Richardson has his eye on a new, bipartisan sexual harassment bill coming in the House and the next push for a national infrastructure plan.
Finally, we're told the Senate labor panel might be rescheduling its vote to this week on whether to clear four pending DOL nominees to the Senate floor. The Perkins Building is scheduled to play host on Jan. 18 to all the major union presidents, who will meet with Acosta to discuss the labor aspects of the administration's NAFTA negotiations.

Halfway home at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
By Chris EstradaJun 22, 2013, 9:13 PM EDT
Allan McNish has taken over in the No. 2 Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro, which still holds the lead as this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans is now halfway complete.
The No. 2 car continues to lead by a lap over the No. 8 Toyota Hybrid, which is currently being driven by former Formula One competitor Anthony Davidson. The No. 7 Toyota Hybrid, currently driven by Nicolas Lapierre, has maintained third position and trails his teammate Davidson by one minute.
Oliver Jarvis, driving the No. 3 Audi R18, has managed to regain one of his laps against Davidson but is still running fourth overall ahead of the two Rebellion Toyotas in fifth and sixth.
In LMP2, the No. 35 Oak Racing Morgan-Nissan is still leading the way with former IndyCar pilot Martin Plowman in the cockpit. Its sister car, the No. 24, is second in the class with Alex Brundle at the controls.
GTE Pro has seen a shift at the top with the No. 99 Aston Martin Racing Vantage now atop the class with Frederic Makowiecki, ahead of Romain Dumas in the No. 92 Porsche AG Team Manthey 911. Aston and Porsche have had a strong battle in the category throughout the first half of the race.
Finally, GTE-Am is currently being led by the No. 76 IMSA Performance Matmut Porsche 911 of Christophe Bourret, with the No. 55 AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia of Piergiuseppe Perrazini running second.
As for Patrick Dempsey in the No. 77 Dempsey/Del Piero Porsche, he took the class lead during his stint before falling back to second and then to third after a spin at the Dunlop Esses. Currently, the No. 77 is fourth in the class with Joe Foster in the car.

Larisa Kingston Mann has a PhD in Jurisprudence & Social Policy from Berkeley Law, at the University of California, at Berkeley, and an MSc from the London School of Economics.
My work analyzes the relationship between law, technology, sovereignty and creativity, especially focusing on the ways changing media technologies affect communities' ability to flourish. I am especially interested in historically marginalized communities' abilities to create autonomous cultural expression, especially music, and in the capability of music to generate intimacy and decolonize identity among oppressed people. I also examine how and when cultural practices such as music play important roles in people's material survival and in broader political engagement.
My interest in the parameters that allow for autonomous cultural practices (especially community control over resources such as physical spaces, buildings, neighborhoods and airwaves) has given rise to research on the changing meaning of surveillance and privacy for communities and identities that have historically been surveilled, and in challenging dominant concepts of privacy and surveillance in the fields of US technology industry and policy.
My current work includes a book on how Jamaican popular music practices challenge the colonial and white supremacist underpinnings of copyright law and of sovereignty itself, a study of pirate radio in London, England and its reliance on public housing architecture, and research into community-generated privacy principles among community technology activists in Detroit.
I have also worked for 22 years as a performing DJ, music writer/blogger and event organizer, most especially with Dutty Artz (NY and the world), and before that with Surya Dub (San Francisco), Konstruct (London, UK) and Toneburst (Boston, MA).

Has the euro turned a corner?
Gavin Hewitt | 09:28 UK time, Tuesday, 1 February 2011
Suddenly it's spring time in the eurozone. The dangerous winds that threatened the single currency have subsided. The icy disdain from the bond markets has receded. Or so it would appear.
Ministers and officials have suddenly shed their nerves. The German Finance Minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble, says "I don't expect that there will be further major shocks". The French Finance Minister, Christine Lagarde, declares "the euro has turned the corner".
Even the Chief Executive of Barclays Bank, Bob Diamond, says the question of whether the eurozone will stay together is last year's story and "off the table".
It certainly helped that China told a visiting EU delegation in December that it would support the euro by energetically buying European bonds.
Although oft-repeated, it has clearly also helped that France and Germany have co-ordinated their defence of the euro. President Sarkozy was animated when he said in Davos "Mrs Merkel and I will never - do you hear me, never - let the euro fail".
The German chancellor in turn stepped up to say that the euro is much more than a currency, and "if the euro fails - Europe fails".
But determination is not a policy. What has made the difference is a perception that Germany is working on a comprehensive package to solve the crisis. It expects to have this ready to present to the European Council by March. It helps, too, that the package is of German design.
When I interviewed Mr Schaeuble last year he said that Germany did not want to be in a position of lecturing others. Maybe, but in exchange for German support there will be a teaching moment!
Now this package is being called a "grand bargain". Much of the detail is still being discussed. There are differences within the German cabinet and between eurozone countries. However, a broad outline is emerging.
Germany will agree to increase the lending power of the main bail-out fund (the EFSF) so that it actually reaches 440bn euros. It will be used more flexibly, including perhaps buying up bonds. Greece and Ireland could be given more time to repay their loans, and at a lower interest rate than at present. Some senior bankers have suggested the loans not maturing for 30 years.
In exchange, the rest of Europe will have to become more like Germany. It could be that the retirement age across the EU would have to go up. A benchmark would be agreed. A debt brake might have to be written into national legislation (perhaps at no more than 60% of GDP). Tax rates could be harmonised. All in all, tougher discipline over tax and spending would both be demanded and enforced.
Chancellor Merkel defined the bargain like this: "solidarity and competitiveness are two sides of a European coin". In other words, solidarity will come at a price. Other countries will have to become more competitive.
There is much to be argued over. Will Germany actually agree to a lowering of the interest rates that Ireland and Greece pay for their bail-out loans? That would be controversial within Germany. Will Greece be allowed to buy back its debt at a discount which would be restructuring by the back door?
If Greece and Ireland are given more time to repay their debts, how can that be done without appearing to let them off the hook? Would countries like Italy, for example, agree to the EU setting debt limits? Will the so-called "grand bargain" allow for some debt restructuring and for some actual fiscal transfers from countries like Germany and France? The answer is we don't know.
Even with all these plans and some structural reforms it will prove a hard road for some of Europe's weaker economies to regain competitiveness. Ireland has slashed its growth forecast for 2011 to 1%. It had previously estimated 2.4%. In other countries like Spain growth is flat. How long will these economies take to recover and will the voters accept a reduction in the services that the state can provide?
And if competitiveness proves elusive then will the "grand bargain" evolve into rolling support for the eurozone's peripheral countries? For the Germans that could sound like the much-feared "transfer union".
Amidst the generally good spirits in Davos, the head of advertising group WPP, Sir Martin Sorrell, assigned Europe to his third division. Germany was in the second. He still saw a Europe in the economic slow lane.
It is a reminder that although the eurozone crisis may have eased the most fundamental question of all has to be addressed. How will non-German Europe find growth? Almost every day I receive e-mails from business groups who question whether the EU is on the side of innovation, whether it favours reducing regulation, whether it actually will open up markets and allow new businesses to bloom.
Has Europe turned a corner? Watch the growth figures.

Lisa Jennings | Oct 29, 2009

Holmes previously served as HR general manager for the entertainment and devices division at Microsoft in Seattle, where she worked for six years. While at Microsoft, Holmes held leadership positions in the server and tools division, and headed HR for the software company's development centers in India and Israel.
Prior to that Holmes' held posts in the high-tech, energy and pharmaceutical industries as well as global consumer sales. Her human resources experience includes managing multiple geographies and diverse business units at such companies as Bristol-Myers Squibb and PepsiCo.
Reportedly scheduled to start Nov. 16 in her new role, Holmes will be responsible for Starbucks' global partner resource strategy, including all generalist and specialist functions. She will report to Howard Schultz, chairman, president and chief executive.
Holmes succeeds Olden Lee, the Starbucks' board member who has served as interim executive vice president of partner resources since April. He will stay on to assist Holmes during her transition into the role.
Lee replaced Starbucks' former head of human resources, Chet Kuchinad, who resigned because of a family illness.
"We are excited to have Kalen join the Starbucks leadership team as the global leader of our partner resource organization," Schultz said. "She brings a great passion for serving partners [employees], with the experience and energy we need to elevate the partner experience."

Festival director Peter Taylor said: "The reaction to our line-up for 2018 has been incredible and I can honestly say we have never seen anything like it.
"Without a doubt, Nile Rodgers and CHIC is the fastest selling show we have ever had at Lytham Festival. These tickets really have flown out so we are in the position now that we must warn people that if they've not bought them yet, then they really do risk missing out.
"Tickets to all five nights of Lytham Festival are proving incredibly popular and, I know we say it time and time again, but I do anticipate this being Lytham's biggest year to date."
Cuffe And Taylor are also producing a tour with uber cool musician Nile Rodgers and his disco band, and say people are 'racing' to get tickets for all the dates.
Peter added: "Nile Rodgers and CHIC are global superstars who are adored by their fans and hailed as innovators by their peers.
"They promise a night of super disco, hip hop and rock and we can't wait to see this in Lytham and across the UK.
"So, make sure you don't miss out."
