Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen says she doesn't disagree with her predecessor on the substance of monetary policy. She does differ in style, which may prove important if the market reaction to her debut press conference is indicative.
The 67-year-old was more relaxed, direct and expansive than Ben Bernanke in handling questions from reporters on March 19, according to long-time Fed watchers. She referred to adult children "shacking up" with their parents because they can't find work, suggested that comments by New York Federal Reserve President William C. Dudley were "very extreme" and used almost 600 words to answer a question about the job market.
That's what got her into trouble with the financial markets. Stock and bond prices sank after Yellen indicated that the Fed might start raising interest rates about six months after it ends its asset-purchase program late this year. While equities recovered their losses yesterday, bonds did not. The two-year note yield was little changed at 0.42 percent Thursday after gaining seven basis points March 19, the most since 2011.
Yellen acknowledged at the press conference that getting the Fed's message across to the markets isn't easy. "We will try as hard as we can not to be a source of instability," she said, recalling the turmoil in financial markets last year after Bernanke first suggested the Fed might begin to scale back its monthly bond buying.
She said she feels the "weight of responsibility keenly" for the Fed's actions now that she has made the move up to the No. 1 position from her previous role as vice chair. "Now in many ways I feel the buck stops with me," she said.
As lieutenant to Bernanke, Yellen was a leading proponent of easier monetary policy, arguing forcefully that the central bank needed to do more to spur economic growth and bring down employment. Now, as chair, she has to reflect the views of an at times fractious Federal Open Market Committee that is split between hawks who want to raise rates soon and doves who favor continued monetary ease.
"That is a difficult challenge," Feroli said.
The mixed message that Yellen presented at her press conference was an attempt to balance the two wings of the committee, according to Marvin Goodfriend, a former Fed official who is now a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. While the Fed chair suggested the central bank might tighten credit sooner than many investors had expected, she also said any rise would be gradual.
"She split the difference to buy off the hawks while accommodating the doves," he said.
Yellen also had her work cut out for her because she had to explain a major revamp in the Fed's policy statement that was made necessary by a faster fall in unemployment than policy makers had projected. At 6.7 percent in February, the jobless rate was closing in on 6.5 percent, the threshold that the Fed had set for the consideration of tighter credit, at the same time that the central bank was continuing to ease policy through bond purchases.
In place of that quantitative guidance, the central bank adopted a more qualitative approach, saying it "will take account of a wide range of information, including measures of labor-market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial developments" in deciding when to raise rates. The Fed's target for the federal funds rate — the rate that commercial banks charge each other for overnight loans — has been at zero to 0.25 percent since December 2008.
"She conveyed that they aren't just looking at the 6.5 percent," Rivlin said, referring to the Fed's previous jobless threshold. "The situation in the labor markets is much more complicated than that.
''I didn't see anything to really change the guidance'' on interest rates, added Rivlin, now a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington.
The Fed also decided this week to continue with its plan to reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion at each FOMC meeting. Dudley said in New York on March 6 that the bar to changing that strategy was ''pretty high,'' suggesting that economic growth would have to speed up to 5 percent or slow to zero to prompt an alteration.
Even before Yellen opened her mouth at the press conference, she was put on the spot by the Fed's release that day of policy makers' own projections for interest rates. Those new forecasts showed more officials predicting the benchmark rate would rise at least to 1 percent at the end of 2015 and 2.25 percent by the end of 2016, higher than previously predicted.
Those projections contrasted with the FOMC statement, which said the shift in rate guidance "does not indicate any change in the Committee's policy intentions" — an assertion that Yellen repeated to reporters later.
"She got dealt a really bad hand," said Lou Crandall, chief economist at Wrightson ICAP LLC, a Jersey City, New Jersey-based unit of ICAP Plc, the world's largest broker of financial transactions between banks.
He reckoned that about two-thirds of the decline in prices of shorter-dated Treasury securities on March 19 came in response to the higher rate forecasts, with the rest occurring after Yellen indicated the Fed might start to tighten credit sooner than many investors had expected.
Yellen downplayed the quarterly predictions, which are displayed as a series of dots on a chart.
"One should not look to the dot-plot, so to speak, as the primary way in which the committee wants to or is speaking about policies to the public at large," she said, adding that the FOMC statement should take precedence over the forecasts.
She then went on to say that the rate liftoff depends on how the labor market and inflation evolve.
"If we have a substantial shortfall in inflation, if inflation is persistently running below our 2 percent objective, that is a very good reason to hold the funds rate at its present range for longer," she said. The Fed's favored measure of inflation was at 1.2 percent in January and hasn't exceeded the Fed's 2 percent goal since March 2012.
Philip Orlando, chief equity-market strategist for Federated Investors Inc. in New York, said Yellen should have followed the example of former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan and not replied so directly to the question.
"She needs to learn to be more Greenspan-esque, more ambiguous," he said.
That's not Yellen's style. As vice chair, she spearheaded efforts to make the Fed more open and transparent.
"We will continue to try to communicate as clearly as we possibly can," she told reporters this week.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen says she doesn't disagree with her predecessor on the substance of monetary policy.

Q: Is there a way for Rust to use the default associated types? Following https://stackoverflow.com/a/65924807/5884503 I'm adding associated types so I can return futures from my trait methods:
pub trait RtspClient: Runnable {
    type PlayResult: Future<Output = std::result::Result<(), ()>>;
    type ConnectResult: Future<Output = std::result::Result<(), RtspConnectionError>>;
    type DisconnectResult: Future<Output = std::result::Result<(), RtspDisconnectionError>>;

    fn connect(&self) -> RtspClient::ConnectResult {
        Ok(())
    }

    fn disconnect(&self) ->  RtspClient::DisconnectResult {
        Ok(())
    }
}

However, the more methods I add, the more associated types I get.
This wouldn't be a problem, except that I need to specify all of them when I need to use dyn RtspClient:
  |
12 |     pub rtsp_client: Option<Arc<Mutex<dyn RtspClient>>>,
   |                                           ^^^^^^^^^^ help: specify the associated types: `RtspClient<PlayResult = Type, ConnectResult = Type, DisconnectResult = Type>`
   |

Is there a way to force rust to use the default ones I already wrote in the trait definition?

A: There are multiple misunderstandings here. The Future<...> part of the associated type is not a default it is a constraint. Future is not a type, its a trait. Its saying an implementation's PlayResult, for example, must satisfy the Future<...> constraint.
A default associated type would look like this:
pub trait RtspClient  {
    type PlayResult = Ready<Result<(), ()>>; // using std::future::Ready as an example
}

But this syntax is not yet stabilized:
error[E0658]: associated type defaults are unstable
 --> src/lib.rs:4:5
  |
4 |     type PlayResult = Ready<Result<(), ()>>; // using std::future::Ready as an example
  |     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  |
  = note: see issue #29661 <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/29661> for more information

And even if you use a nightly compiler and enable the feature, you couldn't implement connect() and disconnect() by default because it must be valid for all possible implementations (you can do it in some cases, but I don't think this is one of them):
error[E0308]: mismatched types
  --> src/lib.rs:13:9
   |
12 |     fn connect(&self) -> Self::ConnectResult {
   |                          ------------------- expected `<Self as RtspClient>::ConnectResult` because of return type
13 |         ready(Ok(()))
   |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected associated type, found struct `std::future::Ready`
   |
   = note: expected associated type `<Self as RtspClient>::ConnectResult`
                       found struct `std::future::Ready<Result<(), _>>`

error[E0308]: mismatched types
  --> src/lib.rs:17:9
   |
16 |     fn disconnect(&self) ->  Self::DisconnectResult {
   |                              ---------------------- expected `<Self as RtspClient>::DisconnectResult` because of return type
17 |         ready(Ok(()))
   |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected associated type, found struct `std::future::Ready`
   |
   = note: expected associated type `<Self as RtspClient>::DisconnectResult`
                       found struct `std::future::Ready<Result<(), _>>`

And even if that did work, you'll have problems using it as a trait object. Each implementation can have a different concrete associated types, but you need to specify the concrete associated types to use it as a trait object. They will undoubtedly not match:
struct MyDefaultClient;

impl RtspClient for MyDefaultClient {
    // just uses the default types

    fn connect(&self) -> Self::ConnectResult {
        ready(Ok(()))
    }

    fn disconnect(&self) -> Self::DisconnectResult {
        ready(Ok(()))
    }
}

struct MyCustomClient;

impl RtspClient for MyCustomClient {
    type ConnectResult = Pending<Result<(), RtspConnectionError>>; // different associated types
    type DisconnectResult = Pending<Result<(), RtspDisconnectionError>>;

    fn connect(&self) -> Self::ConnectResult {
        pending()
    }

    fn disconnect(&self) -> Self::DisconnectResult {
        pending()
    }
}

fn main() {
    let data = [
        Box::new(MyDefaultClient) as Box<dyn RtspClient<ConnectResult = _, DisconnectResult = _>>,
        Box::new(MyCustomClient),
    ];
}

The _ parts let the compiler infer the correct types, but will yield an error because dyn RtspClient<ConnectResult = A, ...> is different than dyn RtspClient<ConnectResult = B>.
error[E0271]: type mismatch resolving `<MyDefaultClient as RtspClient>::DisconnectResult == std::future::Pending<Result<(), RtspDisconnectionError>>`
  --> src/main.rs:48:9
   |
48 |         Box::new(MyDefaultClient) as Box<dyn RtspClient<ConnectResult = _, DisconnectResult = _>>,
   |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected struct `std::future::Pending`, found struct `std::future::Ready`
   |
   = note: expected struct `std::future::Pending<Result<(), RtspDisconnectionError>>`
              found struct `std::future::Ready<Result<(), RtspDisconnectionError>>`
   = note: required for the cast to the object type `dyn RtspClient<DisconnectResult = std::future::Pending<Result<(), RtspDisconnectionError>>, ConnectResult = std::future::Pending<Result<(), RtspConnectionError>>>`

error[E0271]: type mismatch resolving `<MyDefaultClient as RtspClient>::ConnectResult == std::future::Pending<Result<(), RtspConnectionError>>`
  --> src/main.rs:48:9
   |
48 |         Box::new(MyDefaultClient) as Box<dyn RtspClient<ConnectResult = _, DisconnectResult = _>>,
   |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected struct `std::future::Pending`, found struct `std::future::Ready`
   |
   = note: expected struct `std::future::Pending<Result<(), RtspConnectionError>>`
              found struct `std::future::Ready<Result<(), RtspConnectionError>>`
   = note: required for the cast to the object type `dyn RtspClient<DisconnectResult = std::future::Pending<Result<(), RtspDisconnectionError>>, ConnectResult = std::future::Pending<Result<(), RtspConnectionError>>>`

Associated types and trait objects do not mix in this fashion. You can think of them as regular generic types: Struct<A> is a completely different type from Struct<B>.
You should follow the other recommendations in the linked answer and use boxed futures, Pin<Box<Future<...>>>, or the helper crate async-trait instead of using associated types if you want to use different implementations interchangeably.

Myanmar Guys Photo
Burmese guys photo
Burmese Male Sexy Models have updated their profile picture. The Myanmar Male Sexy Models photo. You need one, these guys can make one for you! Pretty Myanmar men welcome the show of hands. Those guys asked us to take a picture of them, and then bet on funny faces haha.
50 images of Myanmar
I knew this land would be something unique from the minute I got off the plane in Mandalay. Nevertheless, the long way to our lodge was greeted with tens of kind smilies when I received my first Myanmar words, "mingalaba" (hello). You can feel the heat of the Myanmar tribe in every part of the world, from the very beloved Bagan to the rarely visited Kayah state.
While I could go on and on about how much I loved Myanmar, I thought it would be best to have images tell the tale. These are my 50 favourite images from the journey to make up for the terrible inconsistencies in this blogs (sorry guys).
To apologize, there is also a small promotional gift at the end of this article, so read on. I' m sure some folks just rolled down, which was a big flaw, because the images are bound to it. The thing I like least about my own blogs is that my capacity to exchange images is restricted by the limitations of broadband.
So the more images I download (and of better quality), the more slowly the website is loaded. It' a disgrace, because some of the above pictures look much better in fullscreen.
After 22 years as a servant, Myanmar's fishermen go home.
TUAL, Indonesia - He just asked to go home. Last of all, when the Myanmar slaves made the same plea, he was almost bludgeoned to his deaths. However, after eight years away on a ship in distant Indonesia, Myint Naing was willing to take all risks to see his mum.
He had nightmares full of her dream and history gradually steals her face from his memories. He was barking aloud enough to be told that Myint would be murdered in an attempt to leave the vessel. In the scorching sundowner Myint remained burning for three whole day and shivering in the night lymph, without eating and drink.
And he never wanted to see his mom again. Each year, tens of thousand of migrant labourers are outsmarted like Myint or marketed to the gravelly underground of the shellfish industries. He is a thin, soft-spoken man with the wirey power of a man who has worked his whole being. It comes from a small town on a small, dirt track in the south of Myanmar, the oldest of four young people.
He was drowning in 1990, so that he was only 15 years old. So, three years later, when a quick-acting estate agents came to the neighbourhood with tales of employment in Thailand, Myint was easy courted. Fed $300 for only a few month' work - enough for some family to last a year.
Not so sure about his mum, Khin Than. None of them knew it, but at that point Myint began a trip that would take him away thousand of kilometres from his ancestors. But on the date he departed home in 1993, everything Myint saw was a pledge. Myint's 10-year-old nurse was wiping her eyes as he saw his new enlisted men grabbing her pockets immediately, and Myint's 10-year-old nurse was wiping herself down her cheek as he walked the country lane from her town.
He didn't have a mom. Thailand-US$7 billion a year in a shellfish factory that works with workers from the poorer parts of the nation, together with Cambodia, Laos and especially Myanmar, also known as Burma. Myint was pushed onto a small ship after the Thai frontier policemen were slightly bypassed and detained for more than a months in a small shed with little shelter.
These men spent 15 and a half day at sea and eventually didcked in the Far East of Indonesia. Thought he was only going to fish in Thai territorial waters for a few month. The young were instead taken to the Isle of Tual in the Arafura Ocean, one of the wealthiest fisheries in the word with tunas, mackerels, squid, shrimps and other profitable exports.
He lived for a few days on the open sea, lived only on the parts of the fish that no one else would have. He lived for a few days on the open sea, lived only on the parts of the fish that no one else would have.
He discovered several inflated objects hovering in the sea. He then went to the workroom on the jetty and asked to go home for the first one. That'?s the first run. He was cured when an Indonean hostess took pity on Myint and provided him with nourishment and accommodation in return for working on her ranch.
Teaching fluency in Indonesia, he got a flavour for the meal, although it was much sweetter than the savoury Myanmar meals his mum made. However, he could not have forgotten his Myanmar family or the boyfriends he had abandoned on the row. Myint sometimes silently went to visit other escaped Myint slaveers on the African islands to discuss his homeland and brought a large pouch of his own grown vegetable.
He was wondering if it would get better on the boats. Eight years after his arrival in Indonesia, he went back to the ocean. Angry and despairing, the Myanmar slaves asked to go home again. There was something Myint was looking for, something to open the castle. He then succeeded in turning a small chunk of steel into a temporary pimple and spend some time unlocking liberty quickly and noiselessly.
and if he was captured, it would be quick for him to die. Forever, this one. In the last ten years outside observers have started to take note, and the US administration strikes Thailand year after year in US yearlies because of the ubiquitous abuse of labour in it. When he walked for the second consecutive run, Myint hid alone in a hut with bamboos in the jungles.
As he became too ill to work, the same family cared for him with a friendliness that reminds him of kin at home. He' had forgot what his mom was like and knew that his favourite little nurse would have become an adult by now. All he didn't know was that his mom was like him:
There was a point when another man from Burma shared with the Myint Indonesian community that he fished and got remarried. Myint never wanted to be tied to the land that had ruined his world. Eight more years in the jungles without a watch and calendars, however, caused a blurring of space. He was afraid to get in touch with the Myanmar message because it would unmask him as an irregular immigrant.
Burma. Myint went to the Isle of Dobo, where he had learned of other people. There was another memory of Myint that if he wanted to live, he had to do it cautiously. As the officers came to Dobo, he went with them back to Tual, where he was once a servant - this times to join several hundred other free men.
Myint went home after 22 years in Indonesia. There was another memory of Myint that if he wanted to live, he had to do it cautiously. Flying from Indonesia to Myanmar's largest town, Yangon, was a frightening premiere for Myint. Leaving the aiport with a small bag and a donation of a cap and shirts - everything he had to show abroad for his long years.
He returned to his land as a foreigner. Burma was no longer governed by a mysterious army regime, and Aung San Suu Kyi, the head of the Myanmar Movement, was free from years of detention and parliament. It fought to turn 15,000 rupees into about 1,000 Myanmar Kyats, both about $1. The meal was different, and so were the greetings.
Whilst he was waiting with other former slave men for the coach to Mon State, they were not chatting in their home country Burma, but in Bahasa Indonesia. Wondering if he would even recognise his mom and kid or if they would recognise him. He had a wife, but his mom was gone. Scared as Myint was scanning the street, his sisters desperately dialing a number.
Myint, his mom and sis went hand in hand to the ordinary stilted home of his early years. He ran to her, soaked to the bone, and breathed three times into her throat. Myint, his mom and sis went hand in hand to the ordinary stilted home of his early years. He ran to her, soaked to the bone, and breathed three times into her throat.
Gradually she came to life and Myint looked her in the eye for a long time. The Myint Naing account comes from his interview with him, his wife and daughter, his boyfriends and other former slave, and from the pursuit of his trip from a temporary refugee camps for saved men in an Indonesian harbor in Tual, Indonesia, to his home in Myanmar.

John "JD" David Ballard
Date of Death: January 21, 2017
Friday 1/27, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Saturday 1/28, 3:00 pm
John David, 15, of Winchester, VA, died January 21, 2017, in Fairfax, Virginia.
He was son to John Ballard and Cathy Ballard. He was brother to three sisters: Helen, Virginia, and Catherine.
He was blessed to know and spend time with one grandfather and both of his grandmothers and to be named for his Granddad David.
John David Ballard was a skateboarder, guitarist, writer, origami artist, juggler, violinist, singer, and soccer and tennis player. He was a member of Shenandoah Area Council's Boy Scout Troop Two ("Troop2cando"). He played violin with the Shenandoah Valley Youth Orchestra and Community Music School of the Piedmont and studied Suzuki violin with Ewa Tryczynska. He played baritone in the Daniel Morgan Middle School Band. He sang with the Daniel Morgan Middle School Choir and the John Handley High School Concert Choir and performed with the John Handley City-Wide Musicals (Orchestra pit for "Young Frankenstein" and on-stage as Narrator for "Into the Woods"). He played twice in the Orchestra Pit for the Clarke County High School musical productions. He played tennis for the Stonebrook Tennis Team. He played soccer with the Blue Ridge Youth Soccer Association. He attended the Bible Study Fellowship Children's Program. With the support of Incredible Flying Objects, he learned to juggle six pins. He braved the American Ninja Warrior Course at East Coast Gymnastics. Alongside his Dad, he built sets for Treasure Island and Seussical for Winchester Little Theatre in Summer 2016.
John David followed the ski traces of his Mom Cathy, first on last off, not as ski patroller like his mom but surely "one of the ones ski patrol warned you about." He was an Alpine Ski Racer on the Wintergreen Ski Team and Wintergreen Youth Ski Patrol, along with his cousins Nora, Winston, and Turner as well as his sisters. He was also a freestyle skier who braved the Wintergreen Terrain Park features, sometimes perfecting unapproved tricks. His ski pit crew (changing skis, poles, and boots) was led by Uncle Rodney and Aunt Lydia (broke his skis – again – just two weeks ago and did a rail jam the next day).
John David leapt into everything he did with vigor. He was the first up for breakfast before skiing. He was out the door to skate until after dark. He stayed up late reading, or more likely watching Youtube. And we could hear his violin, and more recently his guitar, late into the night. Despite support and love from wonderful friends, family, doctors, and community, John David lost his two-year battle against depression.
He received excellent care, but the family's experience showed them the immense need for more mental health care capacity for children and teens in this community—so that families need not wait for care or bear the expenses of traveling to find care. His family would like to begin to address this need.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be given to the JD Ballard Teen Health Fund here: www.gofundme.com/jd-ballard-teen-health-fund. The family will channel funds raised to address the mental health needs of children and adolescents in the Valley area.
John David's family gave others the chance to live a full life by donating his organs to those in need. While John David's family's hearts are broken, their hearts are full knowing that others will benefit from John David's gift. If you are not a registered organ donor please register today: https://www.unos.org/donation/register-to-be-an-organ-donor/. The family visitation will take place this Friday evening, January 27th from 6:00 – 9:00 pm.
The celebration of John David Ballard's life will be this Saturday, January 28th at 3:00 pm.
(There will NOT be a burial service.)
Both will be held at Omps Funeral Home, 1600 Amherst Street, Winchester, VA

'We have some work to do': Saskatoon city hall studying parental leave for councillors
Councillors call current rules outdated, also looking at potential child care issues
Help may be coming for Saskatoon city councillors who need to take time off after having a child.
In a committee meeting this week, council voted to explore changing the rules around parental and elder-care leave. Currently, provincial legislation states any leave that lasts longer than three months must be approved by a vote from council.
"In my view, being a mother should not be a barrier to serve in political office," said Coun. Cynthia Block. "Clearly, we have some work to do."
Coun. Mairin Loewen voted in favour of further study of the issue. She ended up missing only one council meeting after having a baby last year.
"I think that one thing more specific and deliberate policy around leave would achieve is giving some clarity, both to the member of council and also to their constituents, about the nature of the leave and the parameters of the leave, and who's going to be covering that person's work," she said.
The City of Edmonton recently voted to allow its council members 26 weeks of parental leave. Calgary and Toronto are both investigating the idea.
"We have a council right now where we have [a] majority [of] women," said Block. "If that is not to be an anomaly going forward, I think we need to address some of these barriers."
Right now, rules around excused leave are dictated by the provincial Cities Act. City administration has been asked to talk to the province about changing the act, and a spokesperson from the Ministry of Government Relations said it would consider changing the change if approached.
Councillors also asked administration to look into whether new parents could access child care when they have to travel on city business with their children.
Loewen said she often has to travel as part of her role, and wanted more information on whether the city would be able to provide assistance.
"I've been in that exact situation," said Block. "My employer at the time, when I arrived at the destination, ensured that there was child care available for me while I was working.… That was 20 years ago."
Councillors also voted in favour of allocating $88,000 for an additional councillors' assistant and $21,000 for a contingency to be used as additional support for councillors if it was required.
Loewen believes the additional support would be a big help for any councillor who went on leave.
"Presently we have one assistant who works for all of city council," she said. "If a councillor takes a leave for whatever reason, then that one assistant becomes overly burdened with that one councillor's work."

Standards of Review for Appeals
California Family Law Appellate Attorneys
What are the "Standards of Review" for Appeals?
The function of the court of appeal is to examine a trial court proceeding and either affirm, reverse, or modify the trial court's judgment or order.
If there are questions of law regarding statutory interpretation and the application of legal principles, then the appellate court will review under the "de novo" standard.
If the trial court exceeded the bounds of reason, then the Appellate Court will review under the "abuse of discretion" standard. The abuse of discretion standard gives the appellate court power to determine whether the trial court had any substantial evidence to support its conclusions.
Areas of Family Law
High Net-Worth Divorce
Divorce FAQ
Spousal Support Modifications
Premarital Agreements
Family Law Writs
What Kind of Family Law Orders are Appealable?
How the Appeals Process Works
"Substantial Evidence" Standard
If there is a conflict in evidence, then the appellate court will review under the "substantial evidence" standard. Substantial evidence means the amount of relevant evidence which a reasonable person would accept as adequate to support the conclusion reached. The issue is not whether there is evidence that would support the findings of the trial court.
Under this standard, the appellate court reviews the evidence presented at a lower court hearing and determines whether or not the necessary elements to support a judgment were present. Thus, where the family court makes a "fair and equitable" ruling on contested factual issues, its findings are binding on appeal.
Generally, the substantial evidence standard of review is considered the most difficult to meet. It is important to keep in mind that the appellate court accepts the evidence most favorable to the trial court's judgment or order as true and discards the unfavorable evidence as not having sufficient facts to be accepted by trial court.
Deferential Abuse of Discretion Standard
Most judgments and orders in family law are reviewed on appeal under the deferential abuse of discretion standard such as:
Child support orders turning on discretionary components of the statewide Uniform Child Support Guideline.
Orders granting or denying a request for modification of a child support order
Spousal support orders.
Child custody and visitation orders.
Attorney fees/costs awards
Monetary Sanction awards under Family Code Section 271
Community property division orders.
Denial of a motion to set aside the judgment under Family Code Section 2120 et seq.
Orders granting or denying a Domestic Violence protective order or other injunctive relief
An order granting a motion to expunge a family law attorney's real property lien
The court's choice not to issue a statement of decision on a motion.

Spiral architecture of the nucleoid in Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus
Carmen Butan, Lisa M. Hartnell, Andrew K. Fenton, Donald Bliss, R. Elizabeth Sockett, Sriram Subramaniam, Jacqueline L.S. Milne
We present a cryo-electron tomographic analysis of the three-dimensional architecture of a strain of the Gram-negative bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus in which endogenous MreB2 was replaced with monomeric teal fluorescent protein (mTFP)-labeled MreB2. In contrast to wild-type Bdellovibrio cells that predominantly displayed a compact nucleoid region, cells expressing mTFP-labeled MreB2 displayed a twisted spiral organization of the nucleoid. The more open structure of the MreB2-mTFP nucleoids enabled clear in situ visualization of ribosomes decorating the periphery of the nucleoid. Ribosomes also bordered the edges of more compact nucleoids from both wild-type cells and mutant cells. Surprisingly, MreB2-mTFP localized to the interface between the spiral nucleoid and the cytoplasm, suggesting an intimate connection between nucleoid architecture and MreB arrangement. Further, in contrast to wild-type cells, where a single tight chemoreceptor cluster localizes close to the single polar flagellum, MreB2-mTFP cells often displayed extended chemoreceptor arrays present at one or both poles and displayed multiple or inaccurately positioned flagella. Our findings provide direct structural evidence for spiral organization of the bacterial nucleoid and suggest a possible role for MreB in regulation of nucleoid architecture and localization of the chemotaxis apparatus.

Clarence Thomas' 25th Anniversary
Posted on October 27, 2016 in Thursday's Editorial
Even left-leaning scholars agree that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has become one of the most esteemed justices on the high court. (Image: Wikimedia Commons and Shannon Henderson / The Stream)
(by Mark Paoletta, The Washington Post) – Sunday was the 25th anniversary of Clarence Thomas being sworn in as a justice of the Supreme Court. From his beginnings in Georgia, where he lived in a shanty, he has become the longest-serving black justice on the nation's highest court. He emerged dignified from an undignified Senate confirmation and went on to produce a body of jurisprudence that has been praised by constitutional scholars across the ideological spectrum.
But because he's a black man who challenges liberal orthodoxy, his legacy has often been minimized.
His is a story that should be celebrated by all Americans. [The fact] that it isn't [celebrated] is a travesty.
As Supreme Court correspondent Jan Crawford wrote, "From the beginning, Justice Thomas was an independent voice" who began making his mark as soon as he arrived at the court. Since then, he has repeatedly led the court back to the original meaning of the Constitution with thought-provoking separate writings that explore the historical record.
The liberal-leaning SCOTUSBlog's Tom Goldstein, a well-regarded Supreme Court practitioner, says, "I disagree profoundly with Justice Thomas's views on many questions," but if "the measure of a Justice's greatness is his contribution of new and thoughtful perspectives that enlarge the debate, then Justice Thomas is now our greatest Justice."
Why, then, is he rarely mentioned along with great jurists like Oliver Wendell Holmes, Felix Frankfurter or Antonin Scalia, his recently departed contemporary?
One reason is lingering sentiment about Thomas' confirmation process, which indeed was, as he described it, an unjust and malicious "high-tech lynching." Perhaps another is Thomas' silence on the bench. He prefers to listen, and not ask questions.
But if the measure of judicial accomplishment is the number and quality of opinions a justice writes — and not the questions he rattles off during oral arguments — then Thomas is among the most impressive justices: He has now written more than 500 opinions, many of them contributing new and painstakingly researched analysis.
His opinions in United States v. Lopez, McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission and McDonald v. City of Chicago are just some examples from the illustrious list.
Mainly, though, it's that Thomas never wavered from a set of principles many liberals don't think a black man can legitimately hold. He believes in individual rights, not group rights, a view enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. He opposes racial preferences both because they are bad policy and because they have no basis in the Constitution.
In his concurrence in Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, which involved a challenge to affirmative action, Thomas quoted arguments in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education that "No State has any authority under the equal-protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to use race as a factor in affording educational opportunities" and continued that the "Constitution does not pander to faddish theories about whether race mixing is in the public interest.
"All applicants must be treated equally under the law, and no benefit in the eye of the beholder can justify racial discrimination."
As a result, Thomas has earned the scorn and disdain of traditional black civil-rights leadership and special-interest groups — his opinions are a threat to their calls for quotas and set-asides.
Critics have not only dismissed his record, they have attempted to minimize him, personally. More than one has characterized him as an unqualified appointment, despite his having graduated from Yale Law School, chaired a federal agency and served as a federal circuit judge.
Some take the criticism further, claiming he was the beneficiary of affirmative action programs — an assertion he rejects — and, by opposing such programs, he has essentially turned his back on the black community.
Nothing could be further from the truth. As University of California at Berkeley law professor Angela Onwuachi-Willig, a self-described "liberal black womanist," concludes, Thomas' opinions reflect a profound concern for the black community. And, she writes, he "has been unfairly subject to the stereotype of black incompetence."
Thomas came to resent the stigmatizing impact of racial preferences, and critics who suggest he is not qualified and on the court only because of his race make his case for him.
For those of us who worked on his confirmation and went through that terrible ordeal with him, his stellar record has only confirmed the value of that fight.
History will look kindly upon Thomas' judicial legacy and on him as an individual. The people who know him best certainly do, and in time, I believe, most Americans will, too.

1. What is significant about Clarence Thomas' tenure on the U.S. Supreme Court?
2. How do SCOTUSBlog's Tom Goldstein and UCLA law professor Angela Onwuachi-Willig view Justice Thomas' opinions on the court?
3. Consider the following:
Thurgood Marshall, who served from 1967-1991, was the first African American appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Since then, Clarence Thomas is the only other African-American justice. He was appointed as Marshall's successor in 1991.
The Smithsonian's new National Museum of African American History and Culture recently opened in Washington DC.
With more than 36,000 artifacts, the museum is "devoted exclusively to the documentation of African-American life, history and culture."
But the story of Justice Thomas — who rose from bitter poverty in the Jim Crow South to a seat on the nation's highest court, is ignored.
Our nation's second black Supreme Court justice is not included in the museum. Its official excuse: "[We] can't tell every story in our inaugural exhibitions."
Mr. Paoletta asserts in this commentary, "[Justice Thomas'] is a story that should be celebrated by all Americans. That it isn't is a travesty."
a) Do you agree with this assertion? Explain your answer.
b) Ask a parent or grandparent the same question.
We recommend Justice Thomas' memoir, My Grandfather's Son. Read the Amazon description of the book below:
Thomas was born in rural Georgia on June 23, 1948, into a life marked by poverty. His parents divorced when Thomas was still a baby, and his father moved north to Philadelphia, leaving his young mother to raise him and his brother and sister on the ten dollars a week she earned as a maid. At age seven, Thomas and his six-year-old brother were sent to live with his mother's father, Myers Anderson, and her stepmother in their Savannah home. It was a move that would forever change Thomas's life.
His grandfather, whom he called "Daddy," was a black man with a strict work ethic, trying to raise a family in the years of Jim Crow. Thomas witnessed his grandparents' steadfastness despite injustices, their hopefulness despite bigotry, and their deep love for their country. His own quiet ambition would propel him to Holy Cross and Yale Law School, and eventually — despite a bitter, highly contested public confirmation — to the highest court in the land. In this candid and deeply moving memoir, a quintessential American tale of hardship and grit, Clarence Thomas recounts his astonishing journey for the first time, and pays homage to the man who made it possible.
The following points are from an October 19 New York Post Editorial, "Turning Clarence Thomas into an invisible man":
With more than 36,000 artifacts, the museum in Washington, DC, is "devoted exclusively to the documentation of African-American life, history and culture." But Thomas — who rose from bitter poverty in the Jim Crow South to a seat on the nation's highest court — isn't notable enough.
Worse, he does pop up in a different exhibit: one devoted to Anita Hill, whose only claim to fame is that she accused Thomas of sexual harassment during his confirmation hearings in 1991.
The excuse for honoring Hill is that she was fighting against an "all-white, all-male Senate committee." No, she wasn't: Most of the committee was on her side, because Democrats desperate to derail Thomas' confirmation ran it.
For decades now, Clarence Thomas has been pilloried for refusing to play the role that (mostly white) liberals would assign him. It's a betrayal of the museum's mission to honor Hill, even as it makes Thomas into an invisible man.
Ignored in the Smithsonian's new National Museum of African American History and Culture is the nation's second black Supreme Court justice, and here's its official excuse: They can't "tell every story in our inaugural exhibitions."

De Kersenboogerd is een wijk van de gemeente Hoorn.

Geschiedenis
In 1981 ging de eerste paal voor de Kersenboogerd op grondgebied van het voormalige dorp Blokker (gemeente Hoorn) de grond in en in oktober 1982 kwamen de eerste bewoners. De wijk is genoemd naar de oude naam voor dit gebied waar veel fruitbomen stonden. Omdat tijdens de eerste jaren van de bouw van de Kersenboogerd Hoorn groeikern was van Amsterdam, kwamen de meeste inwoners hier ook vandaan. Een ongewenst neveneffect hiervan was dat de gemeente Hoorn zo snel mogelijk (1983) 50.000 inwoners wilde halen en met name in de Kersenboogerd buurten uit de grond werden gestampt. Dit heeft tot gevolg gehad dat bepaalde buurten hard begonnen te verloederen en te verpauperen. Deze ontwikkeling heeft men tot staan gebracht en vanaf de jaren 90 werd er veelal voor hogere inkomens gebouwd. Als gevolg hiervan hebben veel bewoners die in de eerste jaren zijn gekomen wooncarrière gemaakt en zijn doorgestroomd naar nieuwere buurten. De Kersenboogerd heeft op dit moment 21848 inwoners.

In de beginjaren, toen er nog geen winkelcentrum was, bevonden de meeste voorzieningen zich aan de noordkant van de wijk. Vlak bij de huidige ADOS-sporthal bevonden zich in aparte keten een postkantoor, een apotheek en een gezondheidscentrum en naast de basisschool De Kerseboom stond een noodkeet waarin eerst een supermarkt (Vlaar) en later de bibliotheek zat. Met de komst van het winkelcentrum van de wijk dat is aangelegd rond het NS-station Kersenboogerd zijn alle noodketen overbodig geworden en nadien gesloopt.

Winkelcentrum
Het huidige winkelcentrum werd in 1985 geopend en bestond toen alleen nog uit het Betje Wollfplein. 10 jaar later in 1995 werd met de opening van het Aagje Dekenplein het winkelcentrum fors uitgebreid. In het winkelcentrum bevinden zich twee supermarkten, twee bakkers, een slager, een visboer, twee drogisterijen, een reisbureau en nog een aantal winkels. Elke dinsdag is er markt. Aan de rand van het winkelgebied bevinden zich het gezondheidscentrum, de openbare bibliotheek, sporthal "De Kers" en het wijkcentrum.

De bewoners van de nieuwste delen van de Kersenboogerd kunnen voor de dagelijkse boodschappen terecht in een grote supermarkt aan het Stan Kentonhof, maar ook gebruikmaken van het winkelcentrum Betje Wolffplein/Aagje Dekenplein. De Kersenboogerd heeft zich in de loop der jaren flink uitgebreid. Zo is de zogenaamde "Hoffenbuurt" in zo'n tien jaar uit de grond gestampt. Deze wijk met vooral gezinnen is gelegen in de buurt van Schellinkhout, een dorpje aan het Markermeer. Een apart project in dit deel van de wijk vormt "Het nieuwe glas", waar op de grond van een glastuinbouwbedrijf het Matissehof werd gebouwd in Amsterdamse Schoolstijl.

Recreatie
Voor recreatie kunnen de wijkbewoners terecht in het Mandelapark, het Willem Wiesepark en het nabijgelegen Julianapark.

Het Mandelapark is een klein parkje in het oudste gedeelte van de Kersenboogerd, waarin zich een groot grasveld bevindt.

Het Willem Wiesepark is een groot en nieuw park dat in het nieuwere gedeelte van de Kersenboogerd ligt. In het park vind je verschillende grasvelden, speeltuinen, sloten en veel groen.

Het Julianapark ligt niet in de Kersenboogerd, maar is wel snel te bereiken voor de bewoners. Het park ligt aan het Markermeer en is het grootste park van Hoorn. In het park bevindt zich een groot strand, veel groen, een speeltuin, grasvelden en wandelpaden.

Sport
Aan de rand van het winkelgebied bevindt zich sporthal "De Kers" en tussen de Groene Steen en het bedrijventerrein Gildenweg is het nieuwe complex van voetbalvereniging De Blokkers gerealiseerd. Sporthal "De Kers" heeft in samenwerking met het wijkcentrum het project Sport-Opbouw-Werk-Hoorn (SOWH) opgericht. Dit is een organisatie die ervoor zorgt dat kinderen wat te doen hebben in hun vrije tijd. Deze organisatie is gebaseerd op vrijwilligers en heeft meerdere projecten waaronder The Summer Games, een aantal evenementen in de zomer.

El Club de Deportes Provincial Llanquihue es un club de básquetbol chileno de la ciudad de Puerto Varas, que participaba en la liga DIMAYOR. Se fundó el año 1997 y jugó en sus inicios en la ciudad de Puerto Varas. En la temporada 2000 y 2001 se trasladó a la ciudad de Llanquihue. Sus años de gloria se vivieron una vez más en la ciudad de Puerto Varas, donde jugó desde la temporada 2002 hasta la 2007, logrando dos títulos de Dimayor y uno de Libsur. Para la temporada 2008 se trasladó a la ciudad de Llanquihue.

El club hacía de local en el Gimnasio Fiscal de Llanquihue, volviendo a la ciudad después de seis temporadas jugando en Puerto Varas.

Sus rivales clásicos eran el Club Provincial Osorno y el Club Deportivo Valdivia.

Descripción
Después del complejo año 2008, Provincial Llanquihue buscó una mezcla de jugadores de renombre y jóvenes con altas expectativas para esta nueva temporada. Se decidió la contratación de Cipriano Núñez, campeón con la Universidad de Concepción y con más de una década de experiencia en Dimayor, para liderar este nuevo proyecto que tiene en Leonel Méndez y José Luis Campos a sus jugadores más importantes. También se contrató al argentino Sebastián Chaine como refuerzo extranjero y además se llegó a un acuerdo con Franco Garrido, Renato Torres, Pedro Sands, Humberto Carrizo, Simón Martínez, Carlos Sepúlveda, Cristóbal Infante, Camilo Vargas, Nicolás Ulloa y el juvenil Cristopher Mansilla. Después de terminar liderando la zona sur de la fase zonal de Dimayor, Llanquihue venció a Deportes Castro por 3-0 en la serie de primera ronda, para perder en la siguiente ronda ante Provincial Osorno por 3 juegos a 2. Para la fase nacional se decidió el cambio de Sebastián Chaine por el americano Marcus Heard. El extranjero debió ser cambiado después de cuatro fechas ya que su sufrió un desgarro. Para reemplazarlo llegó el alero Delvin Thomas.

Historia
El club fue fundado en 1997, ante la posibilidad de que el único equipo de la provincia de Llanquihue que participaba en las ligas cesteras desapareciera por razones económicas.

Encabezados por quien fue su primer presidente, Oscar Pijuán, se formó un directorio formado por Patricio Narváez, Jaime Schwerter, Edgardo Domke, Carlos Binder, Carlos Narváez, y Eduardo Cerón.

Ya en su segundo año de vida, Provincial Llanquihue se hacía un lugar entre los grandes del básquetbol chileno. En el campeonato de apertura 1998 logró un puesto entre los cuatro primeros, y en el campeonato oficial, luego de una serie de semifinales contra el desaparecido Petrox de Talcahuano, que Llanquihue ganó por tres juegos a cero (incluidos dos en calidad de visita), jugó la serie final, en la que fue derrotado por Universidad de Concepción por 4 juegos a 0. Formaron ese plantel los jugadores Mack Hilton, Mario Lucas, Jeff Thompson, Frederick West, Cristian Pérez, Marcelo Hernández, Ringo Soldan, Eduardo Francke, Claudio Campos, Kurt Krugger, Pablo Lara, Juan Kairath, Guillermo Galindo e Iván Gallardo.

Desde el año 2000, por razones económicas, Provincial Llanquihue traslada su base de operaciones a la ciudad de Llanquihue. Ese año debutó en el torneo Libsur, donde marcó nuevamente su sello: primer puesto en la categoría infantil, tercero en categoría mini (solo por diferencia de puntos), y segundo lugar en la Categoría Adultos, lo que hizo merecedor al equipo lacustre del trofeo "Luz del Sur" con el que se premia al mejor club de la Liga.

En la temporada 2001, Provincial Llanquihue ganó el apelativo con el que es conocido hasta hoy por la hinchada del básquetbol chileno: El Monstruo del Lago. La escuadra lacustre conformó un rico plantel nacional compuesto por Marcelo Hernández, Cristian Pérez, Pedro Kairath, Eduardo Francke, Claudio Campos, Patricio Robles y Ringo Soldan, a los que se sumaron los extranjeros nacionalizados Hilton y Daniel Viáfora, y los refuerzos extranjeros Jack Michael Martínez (República Dominicana), y Courtney Wallace, quien tras recibir una fuerte sanción disciplinaria por parte de la Liga en la segunda rueda, fue reemplazado por Otto Vantroy Ramírez, también dominicano. De la mano de Martínez, Provincial Llanquihue se estableció como el líder de la competencia y clasificó a los playoffs donde debió enfrentarse a la Unión Deportiva Española de Temuco, a quién venció en tres partidos y a Deportivo Español de Talca, que llevó la serie hasta un quinto partido que fue ganado por los hombres de Iván Gallardo. En la final, Provincial se enfrentó al Club Deportivo Valdivia. Una derrota en el primer partido hizo perder la localía a Provincial. Victorias en el segundo y tercer partido lo pusieron una vez más arriba. Valdivia aseguró en casa el cuarto partido, en el Coliseo Municipal Antonio Azurmendy Riveros. El quinto partido se definió en tiempo suplementario, con Claudio Campos y Pedro Kairath consiguiendo tiros de tres puntos para mantener la serie a favor de Llanquiue. El sexto juego fue ganado por Valdivia con cierta facilidad, aprovechando la ausencia por lesión de Cristián Pérez y la inesperada ausencia de Daniel Viáfora, acusado de dopaje en la antesala del sexto juego. En el séptimo partido, jugado en la ciudad de Puerto Montt, la regularidad de Valdiva fue mucho para un equipo que no logró meterse en el partido y sintió mucho la ausencia de jugadores claves, por lo que perdió la serie 3-4, entregándole al rival del norte el título de campeón nacional de DIMAYOR.

Así las cosas, en el 2002, el objetivo del club era lograr el ansiado título. Los dirigentes realizaron una fuerte inversión, volvieron a Puerto Varas, y se conformó un plantel nacional lleno de seleccionados chilenos, y se cambió 5 veces el refuerzo extranjero durante el torneo. Vistieron la camiseta de Provincial Llanquihue los chilenos Pedro Kairath, Rodrigo Espinoza, Patricio Robles, Carlos Troll, Claudio Campos, Mack Hilton, Patricio Arroyo, Marcelo Ruiz, Marco Cornez, Patricio Briones, y Emilio Paris, además de los extranjeros Alonzo Goldstone (USA), Jorge Almanzar (DOM), Lavelle Owens (USA), Hernán Montenegro (ARG), y Jermaine Tate (USA).

Provincial se hizo del primer puesto en la fase regular, y barrió con UDE de Temuco y U. de Concepción en playoffs. Así, se enfrentó a su tradicional y clásico rival Provincial Osorno en una infartante final a siete juegos. El equipo de Puerto Varas perdió su primer partido como local, ganó el segundo y luego perdió dos como visitante. El quinto juego lo ganó y dejó la llave 3-2, por lo que era vital ganar en Osorno para poder pelear el título. En ese partido, considerado como épico por los hinchas lacustres, Patricio Arroyo anotó 6 triples que permitieron al "Monstruo" llevar el partido a un tiempo suplementario, no sin antes sufrir ante la posibilidad de Osorno de cerrar el partido, con un tiro de Cristian Pérez contra la chicharra. Ya en el tiempo extra, Kairath y Espinoza sentenciaron a Osorno desde el perímetro. Con la serie igualada 3-3, Provincial no dejó escapar la posibilidad de lograr el campeonato, escapándose en el tercer parcial de la mano de "Popeye" Ruiz, derrotando a Osorno por 97 a 76 y adjudicándose su primer título de Dimayor.

En el 2003, se logró mantener a gran parte del equipo nacional, sumando al base talquino Francisco Véliz y al osornino Leonel Méndez. Después de la gran temporada 2002 en la Unión Deportiva Española de Temuco, los dirigentes de Provincial Llanquihue aseguraron la contratación de Darryl Johnson, solucionando desde un comienzo el complejo escenario que se vivió la temporada anterior con los extranjeros. Con el trabajo de "Zeta" Rodríguez se recuperó a jugadores como Arroyo y Provincial se estableció como el equipo a vencer para esa temporada. Liderando la temporada y estableciendo una localía infranqueable Llanquihue se adueñó de la temporada regular. En la primera ronda de playoffs derrotó por tres partidos a uno a Deportes Ancud y en las semifinales se encontró una vez más con Provincial Osorno. En una cerrada serie definida en cinco partidos Llanquihue hizo pesar la localía y se clasificó a su tercera final consecutiva. En la serie definitoria se enfrentó a la Universidad Católica. Ambos equipos hicieron pesar su localía y todo se definió en un séptimo partido en la ciudad de Puerto Varas. Este partido sólo pudo ser definido en los minutos finales, donde las ventajas individuales de Provincial se hicieron notar y dejaron el título por segundo año consecutivo en Puerto Varas.

De cara a la temporada 2004, se contrataron los servicios del entrenador argentino Jorge Luis Álvarez. Después de la partida de Pedro Kairath se sumó al escolta Jose Luis Campos. Como refuerzos extranjeros llegaron Jermaine Tate (campeón en 2002 con el club) y el base Lawrence Wallace, que venía precedido de un gran rendimiento en la Liga Nacional de Argentina jugando para Obras Sanitarias. Después de terminar la temporada regular en la segunda posición, Llanquihue ganó las series de playoffs contra Deportes Ancud y la Universidad Autónoma de Temuco por tres partidos a cero. Mostrando contundencia, un juego cohesionado y además contando con el plantel más profundo de la liga, Llanquihue logró ganar dos series ante rivales complicados de forma rápida y demostrando que seguían siendo el rival a vencer. En la final se encontró una vez más con Provincial Osorno. Llanquihue logró tomar la ventaja de localía ganando el segundo partido de la serie. Ya en el cuarto partido, Osorno logró recuperar la derrota del segundo partido e igualó la serie a dos. Los siguientes partidos fueron ganados por el equipo local y el 18 de diciembre de 2004 se jugó el séptimo partido de esta serie. Provincial Osorno logró hacerse fuerte en casa y se quedó con el título de esa temporada.

Con la partida de Patricio Briones y Patricio Arroyo a Deportes Ancud comenzó la temporada 2005. Después de un comienzo de 2-4, donde el aporte de los extranjeros Reggie Charles y Jeff Clifton no fue el esperado llegó el cambio necesario. Se contrató al conocido Todd Williams y al hasta ese momento desconocido Djibril Kante. Con ambos jugadores ya incorporados al equipo, Provincial tuvo un alza en el rendimiento y se entreveró en las primeras posiciones. Jugadores como Pablo Ayala,, Jose Luis Campos y Emilio París se sumaban a los extranjeros y convertían a Provincial en un complicado equipo en cualquier cancha. Provincial remató la serie regular con cuatro victorias consecutivas en casa para alcanzar la cuarta posición en la serie regular. En primera ronda se enfrentó a la Universidad de Concepción. A pesar de la ventaja de localía, Provincial Llanquihue no logró pasar esta ronda. Perdió el segundo partido en casa y los penquistas lograron ganar sus dos partidos en calidad de local, terminando con el sueño de una quinta final consecutiva.

La temporada 2006 fue una de transición para Provincial Llanquihue. Después de los años de gloria, los problemas económicos acecharon al club y se enfocó en un trabajo con jugadores jóvenes y otros poco conocidos en el básquetbol nacional. Después de que Jorge Luis Álvarez emigrara a Temuco para dirigir a la UDE, los dirigentes entregaron la responsabilidad de dirigir al joven platel al técnico americano Carlton Johnson. Después de un complejo inicio en la fase zonal de Dimayor, donde los extranjeros Dameon Sansom y Johnny Tyson no respondieron a las expectativas se hizo necesario un cambio en los refuerzos foráneos. Llegaron Kahiry Battle (en la fase zonal) y John A. Thomas (al comienzo de la fase nacional). Con ambos extranjeros el nivel de Provincial subió e incluso se jugó su opción de clasificar a la post-temporada hasta el último partido. Jugando sin extranjeros (ambos foráneos se vieron involucrados en un accidente automovilístico) se venció a CD Puente Alto y en la noche siguiente se requería una victoria contra Boston College, además de una serie de resultados. A pesar de la lesión en la rodilla, Thomas entró a la cancha, sin poder evitar eso sí la derrota y la confirmación de que Provincial se quedaba sin playoffs por primera vez en su historia.

Para la temporada 2008 llegó el entrenador argentino Carlos Iglesias y se conformó un plantel principalmente integrado por jugadores de las divisiones inferiores del club. El plantel 2008 está compuesto por los siguientes jugadores nacionales: Eduardo Francke, Nicolás Ulloa, Javier Schwerter, Camilo Vargas, Pablo Navarro, Vjekoslav Rafaeli, Matías Sepulveda, Ignacio Navarrete, Sebastián Raimann. A comienzo de temporada se contrató a Raheim Lowery, Dominick Melton y John A. Thomas como los refuerzos extranjeros. Después de ocho partidos se decidió el cambio de Lowery y en su puesto llegó el centro americano Anthony Knox. Avanzada la temporada el equipo se desprendió de Dominick Melton, que fue reemplazado por JR Morris, además de terminar el contrato con el entrenador Carlos Iglesias, después de que el equipo se encontrara en la última ubicación. Para encarar los playoffs se decidió la contratación del argentino Gustavo Noria como director técnico, además de la contratación de John Rufus en reemplazo de JR Morris, sin embargo estos cambios no hicieron efecto y Provincial fue eliminado por Liceo Mixto en la primera ronda por tres juegos a cero.

Q: how to construct a boolean algebra out of a set of well formed formulas? Given a set of well formed formulas of a first order language (with equality, constants, variables, non-logical symbols, etc), is it possible to use it as some kind of base to construct a (possible complete) boolean algebra? I guess it would be problematic if I only say that $\vee$ is the sum, $\neg$ gives the inverse, etc, I think it would be necessary to take equivalence classes, for example, 1 would represent the class of the tautologies (or more, I don't really know). I want to know how can I possibly do that, if it is possible at all. If what I'm asking is too general, just take the standard language of set theory (but I would like to make this construction in the most general way).

A: Yes, this is a standard construction known as the Lindenbaum-Tarski algebra.  Given a theory $T$ in a first-order language $L$ (you can take $T$ to be the empty theory if you like), impose an equivalence relation $\sim$ on sentences in $L$ by saying $\varphi\sim\psi$ iff $T\vdash \varphi\Leftrightarrow\psi$.  The set $B$ of equivalence classes of sentences then forms a Boolean algebra, with $[\varphi]\vee[\psi]=[\varphi\vee\psi]$, $[\varphi]\wedge[\psi]=[\varphi\wedge \psi]$, and $\neg[\varphi]=[\neg\varphi]$.
