California university to investigate police use of pepper spray
University of California Davis' chancellor Saturday called police use of pepper spray on Occupy protesters "chilling" and established a task force to look into the incident.
The startling video broadcast by CNN Sacramento affiliate KOVR showed an officer, in a sweeping motion, spraying seated protesters point blank Friday before other officers moved in. Eleven people were treated on site for effects of the spray. Two of them were sent to the hospital, university officials said.
"Yesterday was not a day that would make anyone on our campus proud; indeed the events of the day need to guide us forward as we try to make our campus a better place of inquiry, debate, and even dissent," Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi said in a statement.
UC Davis spokeswoman Claudia Morain told CNN that 25 tents were in place Friday afternoon - despite fliers explaining the campus prohibits overnight camping.
After written and verbal warnings, officers reminded the protesters they would be subject to arrest if they did not move their tents, Morain said.
A group of protesters sat on a path with their arms interlocked as police moved in to remove the tents.
At one point, protesters encircled the officers and blocked them from leaving, the spokeswoman said. Cut off from backup, the officers determined the situation was not safe and asked people several times to make room, Morain said. One officer used pepper spray when a couple of protesters and some of the 200 bystanders moved in, she added.

Teens charged in death of retired NFL player's son
Four southern California teenagers have been charged following the apparent drug overdose death of an 18-year-old high school quarterback whose father is a retired NFL player, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Saturday.
Three of the teens have been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Griffen Kramer, son of former pro quarterback Erik Kramer, who played for several NFL teams including the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions, officials said.
Griffen Kramer played quarterback at Thousand Oaks High School, which lists him as a 6-foot 210-pound senior.
Kramer was found dead October 30 in a friend's bedroom in Agoura Hills, the sheriff's office said in a statement.

McDonald's, Target drop egg supplier after animal cruelty report
McDonald's and Target dropped an egg supplier this week after an activist group released disturbing video showing what it says shows animal cruelty at three of the company's barns.
The undercover video, released by Mercy for Animals, was allegedly shot between May and August at facilities run by Sparboe Farms in Colorado, Iowa and Minnesota. It shows hens crammed in crowded cages, workers burning beaks and one, trying to shove a bird inside the pocket of a co-worker, apparently for fun. Another worker presses his thumb against the back of a chick's neck until it breaks.
"Regarding the undercover videos, the behavior on tape is disturbing and completely unacceptable. McDonald's wants to assure our customers that we demand humane treatment of animals by our suppliers. We take this responsibility - along with our customers' trust - very seriously. It's important to note that the most alarming actions on video did not occur at Sparboe's Vincent, Iowa, facility that supplies McDonald's. Nonetheless, our extremely high standards for our suppliers prohibit this conduct," McDonald's said in a statement, announcing its decision to cut ties with Sparboe Farms.
Target similarly said it was dropping Sparboe Farms, which describes itself as the fifth-largest shell egg producer and marketer in the United States.

Deficit committee still talking
Members of the congressional committee created to craft a bipartisan deficit reduction deal continued working into the weekend despite growing pessimism over their inability so far to reach agreement.
Republican committee members held a conference call Saturday morning, a senior GOP aide said. The aide declined to describe the discussions.
"I assume bipartisan conversations are continuing," the aide said.
Although the 12-member panel technically has until Wednesday to finish its work, it faces a practical deadline of Monday to make a proposal public to trim $1.2 trillion from the deficit over 10 years, then send it to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office for review.

Donald Trump's two older sons will not be participating in a hunting trip that was originally billed as a charity fundraiser for donors willing to pay up to $1million, the president-elect's transition team said.
The announcement came as the Trump family has been on the receiving end of widespread media criticism over the trip as well as an auctioned coffee date with Ivanka Trump that was also canceled.
The Trump family is being accused of compromising their ethics by essentially offering wealthy donors the chance to gain access to the next president.
On Tuesday, a spokesperson for Trump's transition threw cold water on the planned hunting trip with Eric Trump and his brother, Donald Trump Jr.
'The Opening Day event and details that have been reported are merely initial concepts that have not been approved or pursued by the Trump family,' spokeswoman Hope Hicks said.
For $1million, the top package offers a photo opportunity with President Trump for up to 16 people and a multi-day hunting or fishing trip with one or both of the Trump sons.
Along with the event full of rich donors, Toby Keith, Alabama and other 'surprise entertainers' will be performing at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington DC on Saturday, January 21.
The attire for the fundraiser is described as 'camouflage and cufflinks... jeans, boots and hats are welcome' and all proceeds will go to conservation charities.
The invitation for the fundraiser was first obtained by TMZ.
It was later learned that the donations to Opening Day would have gone to a newly formed non-profit known as Opening Day Foundation, which names Trump's two adult sons as directors.
News of the Trump children's involvement in the non-profit was first reported by The Center for Public Integrity.
The public backlash against the Trump family also forced the cancellation of an auction in which one lucky bidder would have been able to meet Ivanka Trump in person for coffee.
Eric Trump canceled the coffee with Ivanka after The New York Times reported that some of the bidders were doing so to gain insight about the Trump administration.
The auction had raised $70,000 before it was shut down, The Hill reported.
Trump's children have played a prominent role in their father's campaign as well as his transition, raising questions among critics about perceived conflicts of interest.
After his election victory, Ivanka Trump sat in on a meeting between her father and the prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, at Trump Tower in New York.
Trump was criticized for this because his daughter, who owns and markets her own line of clothing and apparel, has pending business deals and interests with the Japanese government.

I like your blog keep it up. I was just wondering what actions did you take after reading the millionaire fastlane ? Like what kind of business did the book make you start doing ?
Hello Mumtaz and thank you for checking out my website!
The Millionaire Fastlane teaches you the fundamentals of what creates a fast growing business such as giving value first, choosing on online business vs opening a store and some terminology.
It doesn't give you a detailed plan to makings business, but it gives you a solid outline to work with. It helped me know that I wanted to create a business/community of young intellectuals (leverage) to spread ideas (impact) and thoughts. It got me into the business of sharing and growing.
I really like what you are doing keep it up!! Right now I'm reading the Elon Musk book waiting for the millionaire fastlane to arrive…. Thank you for the reply and keep it up !! And btw your tweets are also very inspiring!!

Asymptotics of Polynomials Orthogonal on a Cross with a Jacobi-Type Weight

We investigate asymptotic behavior of polynomials \( Q_n(z) \) satisfying non-Hermitian orthogonality relations
$$\begin{aligned} \int _\Delta s^kQ_n(s)\rho (s){\mathrm {d}}s =0, \quad k\in \{0,\ldots ,n-1\}, \end{aligned}$$
where \( \Delta := [-\,a,a]\cup [-\,{\mathrm {i}}b,{\mathrm {i}}b] \), \( a,b>0 \), and \( \rho (s) \) is a Jacobi-type weight.
Here and in what follows we state jump relations understanding that they hold outside the points of self-intersection of the considered arcs.
\( g_\Delta (z;\infty ) \) is equal to zero on \( \Delta \), is positive and harmonic in \( {\mathbb {C}}{\setminus }\Delta \), and satisfies \( g(z;\infty )=\log |z|+{\mathcal {O}}(1) \) as \(z\rightarrow \infty \).
In what follows we write \( |g_1(z)|\sim |g_2(z)| \) as \( z\rightarrow z_0 \) if there exists a constant \( C>1 \) such that \( C^{-1}|g_1(z)|\le |g_2(z)| \le C|g_1(z)| \) for all \( z \) close to \( z_0 \).
Hereafter, we set \(\sigma _3 := \left( \begin{matrix} 1 &{} 0 \\ 0 &{} -1 \end{matrix}\right) \) and \( {\varvec{I}} \) to be the identity matrix.

Wow! Louise Beech's first foray into crime writing just blew me away. If, like me, you are a fan of Louise's writing, you will know that her special gift is writing that captivates, entrances, and really makes you care about her characters. Her prose is rich and rewarding; she has the ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. This is writing that somehow manages to shine a light on the beauty of the everyday and her emotional resonance is second to none.
In Call Me Star Girl, she has used her gifts to deliver a fully-fledged dark and twisted psychological thriller that has all the hallmarks of her writing but reinforced with a steel core. This is Louise Beech on steroids and boy, is she motoring at high speed.
Told in two timelines, then and now, and predominantly in two first person voices – those of Stella McKeever and her mother, Elizabeth, with a sparing but critical third person outside perspective provided by taxi driver, Bob Fracklehurst.
Bob is a classic Beech character, full of warmth, heart and goodness. A man who wants to do the right thing and always sees the good in people. A character who does not seem integral to this dark murder story, but whose presence is nonetheless crucial to the book.
Stella is our titular protagonist. A presenter at her local radio station where she conducts a three hour late night show, before the real night hawks come on air. Stella's mum left her when Stella was only twelve. Just sent her to a neighbour with a note and disappeared, leaving behind only a bottle of perfume that would remind Stella of her for years to come.
Stella never knew her father and all her life she has wanted to know who he was. Now she is in an all-consuming relationship with Tom, her boyfriend. Theirs is a love affair of passion and intensity. Unpredictable, risky, it's an all or nothing relationship where Stella's biggest fear is that Tom will wake up one day and find her boring. So she tries to make sure that will never happen.
Stella's mum, Elizabeth, is slowly finding a way to come back into her daughter's life. Though she feels guilty about leaving her only child in the way she did, the sad fact is that she made a choice and if she had that choice to make again, there's no doubting what she would do. In some ways mother and daughter are not dissimilar.
When pregnant Victoria Valbon was brutally murdered in an alley three weeks ago, the town was shaken. No-one has been caught and women are nervously looking over their shoulders as they walk home at night, making sure they keep to the well-lit areas as they plan their routes.
Stella too is wary, she thinks she has caught sight of someone hovering around outside the radio station on more than one evening and now she's receiving calls to the station from a man who says he knows who killed Victoria.
But this is Stella's last ever show and she's not going to go quietly. Alone in the radio station, she plays out her last three hours in a show that will have consequences for everyone listening.
Tightly written, with a brilliantly executed story arc, Call Me Star Girl is an immersive dark, aberrant and sometimes very painful psychological drama that is full of memories, secrets, and long felt desires.
Verdict: Honestly, it's hard to articulate what a powerful book this is, but Call Me Star Girl is a killer read in anyone's book. It's destined to be a must read of 2019 in any crime list.
Louise Beech is an exceptional literary talent, whose debut novel How To Be Brave was a Guardian Reader's Choice in 2015. The sequel, The Mountain in My Shoe was shortlisted for the Not the Booker Prize. Her third book, Maria in the Moon was widely reviewed and critically acclaimed. Her short fiction has won the Glass Woman Prize, the Eric Hoffer Award for Prose, and the Aesthetica Creative competition, as well as shortlisting for the Bridport Prize twice.
Louise is currently writing her next book. She lives with her husband and children on the outskirts of Hull and loves her job as Front of House Usher at Hull Truck Theatre, where her first play was performed in 2012.
I've seen so much about this book. All positive. It's definitely going on my pile.
I'm not really into crime fiction, but this was a great review!
Thanks. Louise is a terrific writer, and this is her first crime novel.
Great review and how exciting, I love Louise's writing and love crime fiction so a perfect match. Can't wait to read this.
Looking forward to reading this. It's creeping to the top of the pile!
