Amaro needs to make radical moves to reverse Phils' fortunes
WASHINGTON - Shortly after nothing happened, Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. promised something was going to happen. "I don't see a scenario right now where our roster is going to be the same roster in April that it is right now," Amaro said Thursday after baseball's non-waiver trade deadline expired without the Phillies making a single move. "It will change. It will need to change because we need to get better."

WASHINGTON - Shortly after nothing happened, Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. promised something was going to happen.
"I don't see a scenario right now where our roster is going to be the same roster in April that it is right now," Amaro said Thursday after baseball's non-waiver trade deadline expired without the Phillies making a single move. "It will change. It will need to change because we need to get better."
There are not many things you could get Phillies fans to agree with Amaro about during these dark days, but the idea that his last-place ball club needs to make changes is definitely one they'd be on board with. He would not like their recommended first order of business, but Amaro remained confident he will be the man in charge of reconfiguring the roster between now and the start of next season. He conceded, however, that team president David Montgomery has given him no such assurance.
If nothing else, the general manager has apparently convinced one of the veteran players he did not trade that the Phillies' commitment to winning sooner rather than later will remain intact whenever the promised roster changes start being made.
"I'm not stunned, no," closer Jonathan Papelbon said when asked about the team's stagnant state at the deadline. "I had a really great talk with Ruben about three or four days ago, and Ruben promised me that going forward we were still going to compete. No matter what it took to put a winning product on the field, he was going to do it. . . . He promised me that we were going to compete year after year and there's no rebuilding here with the Phillies."
Given the current state of the franchise, it sounded like a bunch of hollow promises. Amaro, however, got Papelbon to buy it, which was more than he was able to do in his trade talks with his fellow general managers. With the Phillies set to miss the postseason for a third straight year and unable to add any young talent at the trade deadline, the near future looks grim unless the general manager can make some radical moves in the next eight months.
It's possible, even probable, that the Phillies will make some moves between now and Aug. 31, the deadline for players to be traded and still be eligible for postseason play with their new teams. It wouldn't be shocking to see A.J. Burnett or Marlon Byrd dealt before the end of the month.
None of those moves would be as daring as what Boston general manager Ben Cherington did Thursday when he traded Jon Lester, the linchpin of his starting rotation, to Oakland for outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, and starting pitcher John Lackey to St. Louis for outfielder Allen Craig and pitcher Joe Kelly.
Regardless of what Amaro does in August, he will still be left with some unwanted baggage and a hefty payroll when the offseason mercifully arrives at the end of September.
Amaro, without promising a return to contention in 2015, believes there are ways it could happen.
"Is it possible? Yes," he said. "Whether or not we can get there, we'll see. Our job is to try to put us in position where we're contenders again. If we have to take a step back to move forward and get there, we'll see how it goes."
Money is the one thing the Phillies have on their side. Even with attendance down by more than 7,000 per game this season and expected to fall again in 2015, the Phillies will still have deeper pockets than most because of the 25-year deal worth $2.5 billion they signed with Comcast SportsNet in January. The deal officially kicks in during the 2016 season.
That should allow the Phillies to be more aggressive in places such as the international market. They worked out Cuban outfielder Rusney Castillo, 27, earlier this week, and all the big boys, including the Yankees and Red Sox, figure to be in on the bidding, too. Perhaps Boston's interest waned a little with the deadline additions of Cespedes and Craig, but the Phillies, more than any other big-market team, need to make a move like this one.
"One of the benefits of what we did with the contract with Comcast was it gives us the ability to do that," Amaro said. "I've always had [financial] support from David and the ownership group. That's one of the benefits of being in our marketplace. We've been more aggressive in [the international market]. That may be part of it.
"I think we have the financial flexibility to be there and do those things, and we want to stay aggressive. It may be the only way to really separate yourself as far as being able to acquire talent because the draft is getting leaner and leaner. Signing international players out of the Dominican and Mexico and other places is becoming more and more challenging. So Cuba, Japan, other places, we have to stay aggressive there."
Money isn't everything, but it is one advantage the Phillies have over a lot of other teams, and you have to believe that Comcast, the company spending the bulk of it, wants a considerably better product to televise as soon as possible.

Emily West and the band Whiskey Wolves of the West visit Historic RCA Studio B for a special holiday concert, performing a selection of original compositions, holiday favorites, and songs originally recorded in Studio B—including "The End of the World" by Skeeter Davis and "If Every Day Was Like Christmas" by Elvis Presley.
Recorded on December 8, 2018, the program is presented here as part of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's "Live at the Hall" series.
Historic RCA Studio B is one of the world's most famous recording studios, where Country Music Hall of Fame members Presley, Chet Atkins, Eddy Arnold, Floyd Cramer, the Everly Brothers, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Dottie West, and others recorded their hits.
Emily West signed with Capitol in 2008 and landed two Top Forty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart—"Blue Sky" and "Rocks in Your Shoes"—both of which she co-wrote. Her interest in musical theater inspired a move to New York, where she performed a one-woman show. West was a finalist on "America's Got Talent" in 2014, and after competing on the show, she signed a record deal with Sony Masterworks and opened several shows for Jay Leno. In 2017, she released an EP, "Symphonies," and, in 2018, released the single "Out of Sight, Out of Mind," featuring Whiskey Wolves of the West.

The Team Battle option as shown on the character selection screen in Melee. The current setup shows a 2 vs. 1 vs. 1 team setup, with Players 1 and 2 fighting solo and Players 3 and 4 on a team.
Team Battle is a Versus Mode setting present in all games of the Super Smash Bros. series. As the name suggests, players (whether human or CPU) fight alongside others on their team, against the opposing team(s). Team Battle can be toggled on and off in the upper left hand corner of the character selection screen by selecting the word "Free-for-all" in Smash 64, or the word "Melee"/"Brawl"/"Smash" in subsequent games.
Since team battles are a regular type of Versus Mode, the usual options of Time, Stock, and Coin Battle matches can be selected, along with Special Smash rules as well. In Time and Coin matches, the score (or coins collected) of each team is the combined score of its members and if multiple teams have the same total by the end of the match, then Sudden Death will occur between all members of the tied teams. Stock matches are played in essentially the same manner; each player starts with a set number of lives and the objective is to deplete the stock of the opposing team(s). However, in Team Stock matches there is a feature known as Share Stock where, when one player on a team loses their last stock and has a teammate with two or more stocks, the fallen teammate may borrow one of their teammate's stocks and re-spawn as usual.
With the default setting, members of the same team cannot attack each other. However, turning on Friendly Fire on the options screen will allow players to damage their allies. This can lead to techniques such as easily using Mr. Game & Watch's Oil Panic move, giving Kirby a copy ability using Inhale, healing Ness or Lucas with PSI Magnet, or hitting a recovering ally with a low-knockback projectile, allowing them to reuse their up special move after becoming helpless.
Team battles are also available when playing With Anyone online. This requires four players, who are randomly split into red and blue teams for a two-minute time match with Friendly Fire disabled.
In the first three games, all members of the winning team will perform their victory poses simultaneously. In Smash 4, only one of the characters (the player with the highest score/stock count) will perform a complete victory animation and even then, only one of their animations can ever play, usually being the least special effects heavy (Mewtwo, for example, can only use the victory animation where it turns its head towards the screen after facing away, and can never use its other two). In Ultimate, the members of the winning team go back to performing each of their victory poses simultameously.
In Ultimate, players have the option to toggle whether their teammate is translucent or not, so that they can focus more on their battle, not the other teammate.
Team Battle flags in Brawl.
The final five seconds of a team battle in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS on Yoshi's Island.
In the original Super Smash Bros., selecting the blue team was the only way to use Samus' or Captain Falcon's Blue color, and selecting the green team was the only way to get Captain Falcon's, Mario's, Kirby's, and Donkey Kong's green color, due to these colors not being available using the C buttons.
In 2 vs. 1 or 3 vs. 1 battles, despite there being only one opponent to attack, the Bully, Predator, and Stalker penalties will still be given out to the members of the multi-player team for only attacking a single participant.
Because Wario has two sets of outfits, each with its own team setup, he is the only character who has a choice of clothing in team battles prior to SSB4.
In the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS victory screen, the background will match the color of the winning team.
If playing Team Battles in With Anyone, the player can't choose their character until another player has joined.

Rugby clubs tackle flooding damage with community help
News, Sport | Ethan Harris | Published: 09:58, Thursday March 12th, 2020.
Last updated: 09:58, Thursday March 12th, 2020
Volunteers helping with the clean-up at Cross Keys RFC
Flood-hit rugby clubs are on the road to recovery in the wake of Storm Dennis thanks to a stellar community effort.
WRU National Championship side Bedwas were left facing the brunt of repair costs after they discovered they were not covered for flood damage.
Director William Rees spoke of the "exceptional" volunteers that helped restore working order.
He said: "It's been exceptional. We've always had a solid core of volunteers involved with the club.
Replacing the carpet at Bedwas RFC's clubhouse
"The community came out in force, people from the village came to support us and helped with physical labour and cleaning stock.
"We had Peter's Pies and Miss B's café handing out food, while chemical corporations brought mops and carpet cleaners, and gave us blowers to help dry the place.
"Fortunately, we've got the main room semi-operational. Half the interior of the clubhouse is out of operation, so we can't offer things like weddings and wakes."
Rugby pitches and clubhouses flooded during Storm Dennis
Mr Rees added: "The cellar was absolutely submerged – you'd have needed scuba gear to go in there."
Cross Keys, who also play in the WRU National Championship, have been hard at work repairing its clubhouse, with their big room and bar now back in operation thanks to help from the public.
Ex-Keys chairman Colin Vernall, who has been one of those spearheading the clean-up, said: "The community have been fabulous – without them we wouldn't be open.
"On the morning of the flooding I couldn't believe my eyes. We couldn't get near the club. We waded in at around 4pm to pump out the water.
"We had 50 people here, some were making bacon rolls and cakes.
Primary school Eisteddfod to raise money for flood victims
"We even people from outside of the community come. We had Dean Ryan and some lads from the Dragons help with the big clean up.
"We had to cancel a few functions which we've now lost, but it's also the time spent. We won't get those things back."
Meanwhile, neighbouring Risca RFC were also struck by flooding and started repairs in similar fashion.
Club secretary Colin Wilkes said: "The community effort has been second to none – it puts a lump in your throat thinking about it.
"It's the whole Risca community – without them we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are.
"The whole club was involved, which was incredible. We had one or two days closed, but it's sort of business as usual given circumstances.
"A biblical flood are the only words I can use. You have got to get on with it really.
"It could be worse, but the adrenaline keeps you going because it's not just my club – it's everyone's club."
Elsewhere, Blackwood RFC started a fundraising page that raised more than £4,500.
Repairs being made to Blackwood RFC's c;lubhouse
Blackwood club secretary Russell Allan praised the hoard of volunteers that helped after the club launched the appeal.
He said: "In the space of a few hours we had about 70 volunteers.
"We actually had events on the Friday and Saturday so we did everything possible to open – which we did. It's testimony to those volunteers.
"I'm taken aback by the donations."
He added: "We have been hit hard. The pitch, training cage and car park were flooded, while the carpets had brown sludge everywhere.
"The force of the water lifted a decking area. The tarmac was shredded and the flooding had bent a post of galvanised security fencing."
Mr Allan explained that the club had to cancel a fundraising event to raise money for the new breast care unit at Ysybyty Ystad Fawr.
He said: "We've postponed that to May 9, so hopefully we can give them a nice cheque."
On February 28, Islwyn MP Chris Evans visited affected clubs in his constituency. He said: "The damage to the rugby clubs was devastating.
Final visit today @RiscaRFC – once again I heard how the community pulled together to clean up after the storm. From Blackwood to Crosskeys to Risca, it just goes to show how important these clubs are to people not just for the rugby but for all sorts of organisations & events. pic.twitter.com/Fpr95HemxG
— Chris Evans MP (@Chris_EvansMP) February 28, 2020
"I felt it was extremely important to visit those clubs and was heartened by the response of the community. It was clear to see these clubs are the beating heart of the area.
"It's not just the community for rugby, these places hold all sorts of events to help schools or mother-toddler groups. Without them, the area suffers."
Mr Evans has said he is calling for more support for those affected by the floods from the UK Government, and added: "This storm has shown just how vulnerable we are."

Drag Queens Are Taking The Drag Out Of The Pandemic
by Amber Leventry
Courtesy of James Buck
Most folks are working from home in stained t-shirts and sweat pants—or no pants at all. We are dragging ourselves through the day, throwing our arms into the air, and shaking our fits at all of this. Life is uncertain, homeschooling is all but officially cancelled, and it feels like the demand of all of the roles we have to play will break us.https://www.scarymommy.com/best-trivia-questions-answers/
But if anyone can teach us about adversity, it's the drag community. Marsha P. Johnson was a self-identified drag queen and one of the prominent figures of the Stonewall riots. She led the fight for LGBTQ rights and paved the way for so many queer folks to live safe and authentic lives. Drag queens continue to do this work, but the way they have shown up during the pandemic has highlighted the resiliency and goodness we can all learn from. *Glares at the gun-toting protesters, conspiracy theorists, and entitled assholes who are too "bored" to stay home.* Even during a national lockdown, the show must go on.
When social distancing went into full effect, the places where drag performers earned the bulk of their income closed. Without bars, restaurants, clubs, Pride centers, or other venues that draw a crowd, drag queens lost their audiences and regular gigs which included substantial tips.
Queens have had to cancel all performances and aren't sure when they'll be able to resume their in-person entertainment, but they have found a way to turn their living rooms into stages. Facebook Live, Zoom, and websites like StageIt have allowed performers to still earn money while unemployed and stuck at home. It's not just their resourcefulness, but also their determination to uplift people's spirits that make drag queens stars.
A restaurant in Indiana called Fiddleheads is offering Dragside Pickup. Wearing heels, gloves, and a mask with lips drawn on, Jayda Pill is one of the performers who will deliver food to people's car. The community loves it and feels infected with joy. One customer said, "This is for fun. This is to put a smile on your face. This is to show that better days are ahead for all of us."
Taylor Small, Director of Health & Wellness at the Pride Center of Vermont, performs as Nikki Champagne with her stage partner Emoji Nightmare. She knows the importance of representation for the queer community. She tells Scary Mommy that when she performs, "Not only am I able to create space for folx of all genders, sexualities, identities to come together in a safe(r) space, but I am also creating that for myself. Emoji and I pride ourselves on creating events that are inclusive beyond LGBTQ+ identities, and are always working to improve and expand."

Drag queen story hours have become increasingly popular safe spaces at school and public libraries for kids and adults. Even Sesame Street invited Billy Porter on air to show the beauty in diversity while breaking down gender stereotypes. Most in-person story hours are trolled by idiots who think drag queens reading books to kids about kindness and love are child abusers, but Small says the hate is always eclipsed by the love and support of people who show up to listen to stories and sing songs with fabulous queens.
Representation reduces bullying, increases self-esteem, and improves the feeling of isolation. We're all feeling very isolated right now, especially the queer and gender diverse kids and students who don't have allies or clubs at school to find support. COVID-19 has forced story hours to go online, but libraries and LGBTQIA+ organizations have made sure to create virtual safe spaces. Family Equality recently had Nina West from RuPaul Drag Race host a live story hour, and it was amazing.
Courtesy of Tal Saidon
We are all looking for ways to find meaningful connections within our communities. We want to help, but feel helpless ourselves at times. There are many resources, suggested guides, and programs available, but it can be hard to cut through the noise of so much information.
In order to best reach community members, Taylor Small tells Scary Mommy that the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington created a PSA called Coronavirus is a Drag to educate citizens on ways to access support during the pandemic. The stars of the PSA were drag queens and local queer icons. Small, AKA Nikki Champagne, says, "They chose [these people] to deliver the information in an approachable, easy-to-understand, and comical way. LGBTQ+ community members see themselves reflected in community initiatives, but it is also providing a form of education for the cis/het folx out there who may need to do some more learning."
Learning is something I have been worried about, and not in regard to my children's homeschooling. As a LGBTQIA+ educator, all of my trainings and speaking engagements have been canceled. I'm worried about the regression that will happen for queer rights and the basic understanding of what queer youth and students need at home and school. But when it feels as though all momentum has stopped, seeing events like virtual Drag Brunches or LGBTQIA+ Sex Trivia hosted by Pride Center of Vermont and Planned Parenthood of Northern New England reminds me that we may have been slowed down, but we can't be stopped.
Nikki Champagne does have one piece of advice about our coronavirus wardrobes, however. "When you're working from home, continue to dress to impress—it will not only make your coworkers jealous, but it has also been shown to improve your mood. Folx believe that we put on beautiful outfits for other people but truly it's for us! We know how fabulous we look and it feels so much better because the only person who matters is you."
Through Zoom or bedazzled masks, the drag community shows us that now — maybe more than ever — is the time to sparkle.

Q: How to append an element to dictionary when the key exist or not exist in swift I want to append an element to dictionary. And I want to make it if the key not exist.
My solution is this:
if let _ = eventsBySection[key] {
   eventsBySection[key]?.append(event)
} else {
    eventsBySection[key] = [event]
}

Is it possible to write this code better? or in one line?

A: You can use nil coalescing operator ?? and provide an empty array in case of nil:
eventsBySection[key] = (eventsBySection[key] ?? []) + [event]

edit/update:
Swift 4 or later You can use Dictionary Key-based subscript with default value
eventsBySection[key, default: []].append(event)

Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged greetings and sweets at crossing points along Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir on the occasion of the Pakistan's Independence Day.
"The India army officials reciprocated the gesture by presenting sweets in return to the Pakistani delegation," he said.
Pakistani troops presented sweets to the Indian counterparts at Poonch-Rawalakot and Hot Spring-Mendhar crossing points "as part of confidence building measures along the Line of Control," Jammu based defence spokesperson Lt Col Devender Anand said.
"The exchange of sweets is demonstrative of the goodwill by the Indian army to ensure peace and tranquillity on the Line of Control", the spokesperson said.


Rockefeller introduced bills that would no longer exempt cruise lines — U.S.-based but registered in other countries — from paying taxes on income sourced in the U.S. He also calls for a 5 percent excise tax on gross income from cruises that begin or end in the U.S. to help fund national transportation infrastructure improvements.
Rockefeller said a review of SEC documents found that the two largest public cruise companies, Carnival Corp. and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., paid an effective worldwide tax rate of just 1.3 percent on more than $17 billion in profits over the past seven years.
When asked for a reaction, the Cruise Lines International Association said it was reviewing the proposed legislation and did not have an immediate comment. RCCL referred questions to CLIA while Norwegian Cruise Line did not immediately respond.
Carnival also said the majority of its income is earned outside of the U.S. The corporation operates several international brands that are headquartered in the U.K., Germany, Italy, Spain and Australia. Carnival Corp. & plc includes Carnival Cruise Lines, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Seabourn, AIDA Cruises, Costa Cruises, Cunard, Ibero Cruises, P&O Cruises (U.K.) and P&O Cruises (Australia).

So, everything has begun and it is more uncomfortable than what I anticipated. With another person being inside the house, everything becomes cramped. Cooking food, watching TV, using the restroom, everything. Conversations become muted to hide personal sentiments. I just cannot take it. I am trying my best to make best of the situation, by staying outside of the house until 9 p.m.
Of course my wife loves the situation. Who wouldn't like their mom lifting some of the mommy duties and responsibilities. As for me, I am ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE!!! I get anxiety attacks before pulling inside the house. In a sense, I have become catatonic and numb to conversation. I have to go inside of a zone to cope with the stress. It has barely been a week and I have been going mad, wondering when will this end. Part of me envies the times when I had the privacy of relaxing at home.
With that being said, what else can one do but become an extrovert? I have to adapt to the situation whether I like it or not. So this means more time to worry about me. Going to the gym, visiting mom, or old friends, and even going to the movies. Maybe I might take a self-defense class or go listen to an audio book while walking at the park. I have to do something, because home is not what it used to be.
My wife is beckoning me to go on a vacation, but I can't bring myself to going on a vacation while not handling the bigger problem at home. I would rather spend money on helping her mom get an apartment. What do you guys think? I value your opinion. Comment below.

Youngest lawmaker in a century prepares to lead Michigan House
Beth LeBlanc
A 30-year-old northern Michigan lawmaker will be the youngest House speaker in more than a century when he assumes the role in January, becoming one of the state's key leaders in a time of divided government.
Rep. Lee Chatfield is a former school teacher, coach and father of five who will take the reins of the Michigan House's 58-52 Republican majority Jan. 1 as Democratic Gov.-elect Gretchen Whitmer starts her four-year term in Lansing. GOP Sen. Mike Shirkey of Clarklake will become the Senate majority leader.
From tax cuts to gun laws to gay rights, Chatfield has left his mark on controversial legislative debates over the past four years. But he promises to work with the incoming Democratic administration to advance Michigan's prospects.
Chatfield's priorities include expanding the state's open records laws to include the governor and lawmakers, increasing road funding and decreasing car insurance costs — all challenges in a period of polarized politics.
"Though there will be differences, the differences won't be what define us," he recently told The Detroit News. "It will be our ability to come up with solutions that drive our state forward."
Chatfield seemed to be the heir apparent when he was elected speaker tempore two years ago under House Speaker Tom Leonard, R-DeWitt. He was the second in command for House Republicans, presiding over the chamber when Leonard was absent.
In his four years in office, the Levering Republican has had his share of bumps and bruises alongside legislative victories — including an arrest in July for bringing an unregistered, loaded handgun through security at a northern Michigan airport. Chatfield apologized for the "inexcusable mistake," which did not result in criminal charges.
But supporters say Chatfield has the youth and enthusiasm to lead the House and deal with Whitmer.
"He's somebody who's willing to come to the table. He's somebody who's going to compromise if it's in the best interest of the state," Leonard said. "But he won't be pushed around either."
The road ahead won't be an easy one as Chatfield becomes a legislative leader in a divided government, said David Dulio, chairman of the political science department at Oakland University. Twenty-four of the 110 House members will be forced out by term limits at year's end, a turnover rate of 22 percent.
With fewer seasoned lawmakers and a divided electorate, reaching across the aisle to avoid gridlock will be challenging, Dulio added.
"The nation, and the state even, is pretty polarized in the electorate, and it may not be very politically advantageous for either side to look like they're giving in to the other on key policy areas," Dulio said.
A raucous lame-duck session during which Republicans unsuccessfully sought to curb or reassign the powers of the incoming Democratic administration also could "poison the well," he said.
"Anything that the governor views as limiting her power, that's not going to make her want to work with Republicans on anything else," Dulio said.
Chatfield said he's willing to work with Whitmer and plans to participate in a weekly quadrant meeting with the governor.
Chatfield's work ethic and leadership should take him far, Leonard said, but he's likely to encounter even more challenges than the sitting speaker because of the loss of four seats. Any GOP bill can afford to lose only two Republican votes if Democrats are unified in opposition, giving the lawmaker a small margin for error.
"The biggest challenge that I had and it's going to be an even bigger challenge for Lee is simply finding the 56 votes you need to get something done," Leonard said.
Chatfield has expressed interest in passing an expansion of the Freedom of Information Act that would remove exemptions from the governor's office and Legislature after the effort failed in the Senate in 2017.
Like Whitmer, Chatfield has made road funding a priority. But unlike the East Lansing Democrat, he wants to explore the possibility of freeing up part of the gas sales tax that currently goes toward state school aid and divert it to roads — so that all revenue that is supposed to be dedicated for road and bridge repairs does so.
His plan would hold schools harmless by pulling the same amount of money for school aid from another pot of state money.
"Whenever you have three taxes paid at the pump and only two of those are going to the roads, you're going to have a road funding problem," Chatfield said.
He also wants to focus on lowering auto insurance costs, a task he may be well-positioned to complete, Leonard said, because of his relationship with Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, a staunch advocate of lowered car insurance rates.
But auto insurance reform stalled during all eight years of Republican Gov. Rick Snyder's tenure despite having majorities in the House and Senate.
On Thursday, Chatfield announced a new legislative review process that would require potential laws curry favor from two separate House committees before proceeding to a vote on the House floor.
Similar to processes used in Congress and other states, the new rule would send bills for secondary review to the Appropriations Committee if they have a spending element, to the House Judiciary Committee if they result in a change in criminal penalties, and to the House Ways and Means Committee for any subject matter falling outside spending or criminal penalties. The Government Operations Committee also could send bills directly to the floor.
The dual oversight will "encourage more debate and give our bills a much stronger look," Chatfield said in a statement.
Four years in House
In his four years in the House, Chatfield's pet projects have run the gamut, from legislation that would allow permit-less concealed weapons, to attempts to expand the state's open records law to an unsuccessful bid to eliminate the state income tax, a plan scolded by Snyder.
Chatfield said he stands by the repeal of the prevailing wage law approved this summer by legislators. In remarks on the House floor in June, Chatfield said the law dictating the highest or prevailing wage — usually the union rate — in a region on government projects only benefits some workers.
"While not all of us and not all of our families are part of a union, I will tell you this: All of our families certainly are taxpayers," he said.
In 2017, Chatfield opposed the Michigan Civil Rights Commission's investigation of "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" complaints under the umbrella of "sex" discrimination already prohibited under the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act of 1976.
The commission decided in May that the act permitted the investigation of "sexual orientation" and "gender identity." When Attorney General Bill Schutte issued a binding opinion that the commission had overstepped its bounds, the commission ignored the ruling.
Chatfield stood by Schuette's position, arguing the commission essentially was "legislating from the panel." He said he also opposes an expansion of Elliott-Larsen to include gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual individuals.
"I will never support legislation that infringes on religious freedom," he said.
Chatfield's personal life also shaped his reputation in Lansing.
In 2016, Chatfield's father, Rusty Chatfield, a pastor of the Northern Michigan Baptist Bible Church in Burt Lake, spoke out against voluntary guidelines that encouraged schools to develop an LGBT-inclusive environment for students, most notably by allowing transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms consistent with their chosen gender identity. Rusty Chatfield also is the superintendent for Northern Michigan Christian Academy, where his son taught.
In July, while rushing from his daughter's birthday party to the Pellston Regional Airport, Lee Chatfield attempted to go through airport security with a loaded, unregistered handgun in his bag.
He apologized for the incident but faced no state charges because of a loophole in the law. He is likely to still face fines from TSA amounting to up to $9,800. Chatfield said he will pay the fine in full once he receives it and is supportive of closing the legal loophole that allowed him to avoid charges.
"I learned that no one's above the law and the rights and privileges that we have that people have fought to secure are important and need to be respected," Chatfield said. "And, sometimes, slowing down is very important."
Unlikely friendship
Despite his opposition to expanding gay rights, Chatfield has struck up a friendship with Rep. Jeremy Moss, D-Southfield, one of Michigan's first openly gay representatives who is moving to the Senate in January.
Chatfield won his House seat in 2014 by upsetting incumbent Republican Rep. Frank Foster, who had advocated for expanding the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act.
At the same time, Moss was running to become the second openly gay representative elected to the Michigan House alongside Rep. Jon Hoadley of Kalamazoo.
"Our reputations preceded us," Moss said of himself and Chatfield, but when they met at freshman orientation "we really had a lot more in common to talk about than campaign rhetoric."
Chatfield and Moss were appointed chair and vice chair, respectively, of the House local government committee. At one point, Chatfield allowed Moss to chair the committee, a rarity for a minority representative.
Moss compares their professional relationship to Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner that "clock in and fight" over divergent views on policy, but he said he's also learned to trust Chatfield.
"Lee has never misled me; he has never lied to me," Moss said. Nonetheless, "I don't like his politics and don't like his policies, and I will work very diligently to disrupt them in the Senate."
Though Chatfield indicated no changes in his conservative views, he indicated a broader vision than partisan squabbles.
"This is not about being a Republican caucus; this is not about being a Democratic caucus," Chatfield said. "This is about being a representative to what I consider to be the greatest state in the country."

War for Eternity
Imprint: Penguin
The Return of Traditionalism and the Rise of the Populist Right
Benjamin R. Teitelbaum
'Insightful and immersive' Sunday Times
'An intellectual non-fiction thriller' Financial Times
A riveting exposé of the hidden philosophical movement that drives the populist right around the world
Steve Bannon in the United States. Aleksandr Dugin in Russia. Olavo de Carvalho in Brazil. All rising to positions of power in the past decade. All affiliated with an obscure philosophical movement called Traditionalism.
Since its birth in the early 20th century, Traditionalism has defined itself against modernity and Enlightenment values. Traditionalist thinkers celebrated hierarchy, denounced the idea of progress, and regarded liberal secularism, capitalism, and communism as aligned forces working to replace social, cultural and political norms. Ethnographer Benjamin Teitelbaum had been studying Traditionalism for years as a sort of novelty, associated with a restless subsection of the right -- too antisocial for activism and largely without influence. And yet when Steve Bannon entered the White House in 2017, reports suggested he was an avid reader of Traditionalist teachings.
Teitelbaum spent years infiltrating this strange group of self-styled thinkers, gurus and influencers and getting to the heart of their philosophy. Through exclusive interviews and deep historical context, he reveals the radical worldview infusing the thinking of powerful figures today and inspiring a renegade reinterpretation of humanity, geopolitics and history. Fast-paced and gripping, War for Eternity is a riveting expose and a must-read for anyone trying to understand the Far Right's vision to change the world.
Insightful and immersive. . . Teitelbaum argues that Bannon's rise, alongside counterparts in countries such as Brazil and Russia, can be traced to an obscure intellectual current that you have never heard of. . . If you are interested in exploring the intellectual traditions that underpin today's populist revolt, this is a useful place to start
Mathew Goodwin, The Sunday Times
Timely, insightful and often troubling. . . War for Eternity is predominantly an attempt to understand the ideology of Bannon and other important alt-right figures. . . Teitelbaum enjoys remarkable access to them and uses his background research into the contemporary far right to fill in the gaps, draw connections and explain the bigger picture
Kieran Pender, Literary Review
A fascinating book ... informed, engaging and insightful
This is a most alarming book, with a terrible, pertinent relevance...a book to make us tremble...Given the complexity of the subject, it is surprisingly easy to read
Julia Langdon, The Tablet
Very, very interesting indeed
Freddy Gray, The Spectator
Halli Casser-Jayne
A major new book on contemporary Traditionalism...based on thorough research...required reading
Mark Sedgwick
All politics are now internationalized, and it is impossible to understand one country's internal dynamics without that recognition. In his new book, Benjamin Teitelbaum's examination of three critical figures shaping the global right in three vital countries -- the U.S., Russia and Brazil -- is such an indispensable text not only for understanding those nations but also some of the most profound and tumultuous political shifts defining societies on every continent
Benjamin Teitelbaum is a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder. His first book, Lions of the North was widely reviewed and critically acclaimed. He has published opinion pieces in Foreign Policy, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and the Atlantic, as well as multiple op-eds in the New York Times, all of them dealing with far-right politics and activism.

Rome Police Pull Over To Do Something Amazing With Kids Selling Iced Tea
Vinnie Published: September 9, 2021
City of Rome, NY Police Department via Facebook
A lot of police officers get a bad rep, the boys in blue in Rome sure are showing why not all police deserve a bad reputation.
Police officers have so many things they do in a day, it isn't all about writing tickets and handcuffing suspects. While yes, police departments all over the United States and Central New York work very hard to keep people of the community safe, they also interact with the public.
Interacting with the younger portion of the public is exactly what Officer Hall and Petrelli did when they saw an iced tea stand. Sure, could the officers have been parched needing a drink? Sure! But they decided to get to know the little boys named Austin and Brett. The boys were trying to raise a little extra money. They learned they love playing football, and the positions they play on the gridiron. One wants to be a linebacker, the other a cornerback. That was when the two officers for the Rome Police Department really showed their true character.
Nearby to the table just so happened to be a football, and the two decided to toss the ball back and forth with the two youngsters about a week ago.
Rome Police Tossing The Football With Two Kids
Not all police officers should be judged on the negative acts of a few. These two policemen certainly prove that and prove why the Rome Police Department is among the absolute best in Central New York. Keep scrolling down to see even more reasons why the Rome Police Department is just incredible.
14 Reasons Rome Police Department is Among the Best in CNY
Rome police officers go above and beyond the call of duty every day. Here are 14 reasons why they are among the best in Central New York.

As a project Manager what happens when the scope of a project increases by 30% and the deadline cannot be changed?
The role of the project manager is to manage three variables regarding any given project: Time, Money and Scope.
In this example the scope of the project has been changed. In the event of increases in scope it would be possible to either allocate more time to the project in order to be able to produce the new additional work with the same resources according to the original plan, or more resources in order to get the additional work finished on time, or perhaps a combination of both. In this case the deadline cannot be moved so mre resources will be required.
What will happen to time?
In this case the time deadline cannot be moved, so the additional work will need to be completed within the same timeframe according to the original project plan. The project Manager will need to estimate both the skills and time estimates required in order to identify appropriate resources for the completion of the additional work.
What will happen to money?
The project will cost more than originally estimated. The fact that the time deadline cannot be moved could also create higher than normal costs (in addition to the increase in work there may be a scarsity of resources which could increase costs) due to employee overtime, or last minute availability of external resources.
What will happen to resources?
Having to complete more work within the same timeframe according to the initial plan will require more effort and availability from existing staff members and/or (possibily) last minute availability from external resources.
I would expect the project to proceed successfully. There would need to be a new plan of action, possibly requiring the introduction of new team members and/or rearranging of tasks according to new priorities. I would expect the slightly (or possibly significantly) increase in costs to reflect the urgency created by increasing the workload while maintaining the same time period.
What would you do as a Project Manager?
The first thing I would do is estimate what the actual additional requirements are in terms of competencies and workload and I would evaluate both the need and availability of external resources in the event that our current team is not capable of taking on the extra work. I would arrange a meeting to clarify new budget requirements, and sign off on the new plan.


Numerous bacteria, viruses and parasites cause gastrointestinal infections. According to the WHO, approximately 1.5 million people worldwide die of diarrhoeal disease alone. Children under the age of five living in developing countries are particularly affected by conditions such as diarrhoea and vomiting all the way through to malnutrition and death. Alongside the pathogens responsible for diarrhoeal disease, one of the most important gastrointestinal pathogens is Helicobacter pylori. It is the main cause of gastric ulcers and gastric cancer and it is estimated that half the population is infected.
The DZIF research field "Gastrointestinal Infections" aims to improve diagnosis, treatment and prevention of bacterial infections of the stomach and gut. Amongst other things, scientists develop new treatment strategies that selectively target specific bacteria or pathogen groups. They research the composition of natural gut flora and the role of microorganisms in disease development. Alongside this, both preventive and therapeutic vaccines are being developed.
Scientists search for virulence factor inhibitors that target gastrointestinal pathogens such as EHEC, Salmonella and Helicobacter pylori.
The central focus is to develop vaccines against the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori and noroviruses.
Research on the composition and function of natural gut flora, and its role in the development and prevention of gastrointestinal diseases. The aim is to improve the gut flora to specifically benefit the patient.

Seasonal Wishes from…a CFI Supporter?
Or, not. A special note to CFI just in time for Christmas.
Continuing with my roundup of War on Christmas 2008, such as it is, what are some of the flashpoints other than the atheist placard in Washington's state capitol?
Dear Abby: Skeptical Ghost Buster!
So far 2009's "helladay" season bids fair to teach us the same lesson as the 2008 season did. The "War on Christmas" is a rhetorical construct that right-wing bloviators can flog and pundits can wring their hands about, but only so long as there isn't too much real news. Both the '08 and '09 seasons have featured commanding news story arcs. Last year all eyes were on the presidential campaign, and now the reigning story is of course the not-so-graudal dissolution of the world economy. And news stories about seasonal strife have been few and hard to come by.
President Bush claimed on Dec. 17 that "there can be no debate" about his record of keeping America safe. "No debate"? Really?
One God or Many Universes?
Should atheists use the "multiverse" hypothesis to offer an alternative to supernaturalism?


DONATIONS towards the fundraising efforts of a man who tragically passed away while cycling in the RideLondon-Surrey road race have swelled to more than £40,000.
Family and friends are in mourning after Woking man Kris Cook's untimely death on Sunday. Kris, 36, who was well-known and loved by many across Woking, was raising funds for Woking & Sam Beare Hospices by taking part in the rain-soaked race which passed through the borough over the weekend.
After complaining of feeling unwell halfway through the 86-mile route, Kris collapsed due to cardiac arrest as he and his team-mates approached the North Downs section of the course at Newlands Corner.
Despite extensive treatment by paramedics, St John's Ambulance volunteers and the event's medical staff, who tried to resuscitate him at the scene, Kris was pronounced dead just after 2.30pm on Sunday afternoon, having been rushed to Guildford's Royal Surrey Hospital.
A post-mortem examination will be carried out to establish the exact cause of Kris' death.
Hospice Chief Executive, Nigel Harding, said that the charity have been overwhelmed by the response to the news of Kris' death and plan to use the money he donated for a fitting tribute.
Mr Harding said: "The figure seems to be going up constantly, and maybe in a couple of days I'll be able to say for definite but I'm pretty certain that this must be the most that any one single person has raised for us.
would like to name a room after Kris – perhaps a physiotherapy room, something to do with fitness.
Before he joined the Civil Service, watersports enthusiast Kris could be found very early on in his career – with requisite 'surf dude' hairdo – manning the tower at the Goldsworth Park Lake watersports hut.
When not in a canoe or off on his bike, Kris could often be found nursing his weary limbs with his friends at the Garibaldi pub in Knaphill.
Thousands of tributes to 'kind, caring and selfless' Kris, and messages of condolence to his mother Sue, brother Steven and girlfriend Nicola, who was cycling with him at the time, continue to pour in.
Although he had initially hoped to raise £500 for the hospices, as the News & Mail went to press, Kris' JustGiving page had received more than 6,000 times that value, with more flooding in every minute.

By 2020, Gartner predicts that more than half of major new business processes will incorporate some element of IoT. Up to 26 billion internet-connected 'smart' devices will be installed, generating some $300 billion by the end of the decade. Gartner says a thirty-fold increase in internet-connected physical devices will "significantly alter how the supply chain operates."
DHL, the global logistics leader, today released the fourth edition of its Global Connectedness Index (GCI), a detailed analysis of the state of globalization around the world. The 2016 report shows that global connectedness, measured by cross-border flows of trade, capital, information and people, surpassed its 2007 pre-crisis peak during 2014. In 2015, globalization's post-crisis expansion slowed, but the data indicate that it did not go into reverse. Currently available evidence – still preliminary in some areas – suggests that the world was about 8% more connected in 2015 than in 2005.
The rapid pace of digitisation is transforming the component-driven automotive sector to a software- and solutions-focussed industry, accelerated by consumers' evolving digital lifestyle expectations and demands for new and innovative services.
A majority (59 percent) of European C-Suite executives say digital innovation has not delivered high business impact at their organisation, according to a new survey from global managing consultancy A.T. Kearney. Despite the potential opportunity for digital innovation to drive business growth, integrating new technologies into an established infrastructure (59 percent) and a corporate culture that is not ready to embrace digital technologies (51 percent) are the two biggest barriers to successfully integrating digital innovation in an organization.
