Why does not Ben Roethlisberger begin for the Pittsburgh Steelers in week 10?
By jimadmin On Nov 15, 2021
Item Highlights:
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger won't play in week 10 due to COVID-19
The two-time Super Bowl champion reported symptoms himself before a home game against the winless Detroit Lions
Although veteran backup Mason Rudolph will start in Roethlisberger's place, don't be surprised if you see Dwayne Haskins too
Pittsburgh Steelers fans have likely long circled a week 10 matchup with Jared Goff and the winless Detroit Lions as an easy win. However, the way to the 6: 3 start was much tougher.
Those who expected Ben Roethlisberger to carve through a mediocre Lions defense will instead watch Mason Rudolph – and possibly a little bit Dwayne Haskins – on Sunday November 14th while Roethlisberger is on COVID-19 log.
Ben Roethlisberger will miss the Steelers Week 10 clash with Detroit while on the COVID-19 list
The backstory: #Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger reported symptoms to the team himself, took a test and was positive for COVID-19, a source said. A great example of a gamer doing the right thing and preventing it from spreading. Difficult to report yourself, but overall a strong leadership step.
– Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 14, 2021
A rash of injury and positive COVID-19 tests recently incapacitated some of the NFL's top quarterbacks. Arizona Cardinals star Kyler Murray (ankle) and Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers (COVID) were both inactive at week 9.
Although Rodgers will be back in week 10, he was essentially trading with Roethlisberger. The two-time Super Bowl champion was added to the Steelers' COVID-19 list on Saturday, November 13th after reporting symptoms and testing positive himself.
Unlike Rodgers, the 39-year-old Roethlisberger is vaccinated, which theoretically speeds up his possible return to the field. Depending on how he tests in the coming week, he may be able to play the Los Angeles Chargers in week 11.
Roethlisberger played sharply despite the Steelers' general offensive problems. He entered Week 10 with a completion percentage of 65.6, 1,986 yards, 10 touchdowns, and four interceptions in the season.
Mason Rudolph (and his helmet) starts again for the Steelers
With Roethlisberger on the mend, the Steelers turn to Rudolph, a fourth-year quarterback from the state of Oklahoma, as in previous years.
Steelers fans saw many of Rudolph making eight starts and winning five in 2019. Roethlisberger missed all but two games this year with an elbow injury.
The 2018 four-round pick completed 62.2% of his passes for 1,765 yards, 13 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. That wasn't enough, however, to keep the Steelers from finishing 8-8 and leaving the NFL playoffs.
Rudolph is perhaps best known for his role in a Thursday night brawl with Cleveland Browns all-pro pass rusher Myles Garrett. Garrett tore off Rudolph's helmet and swung it at the sophomore quarterback with five seconds to go in a 21-7 Browns win on November 14, 2019.
Garrett, who is Black, later accused Rudolph, a white man, of using a racial slur that night. Rudolph denied the claim, and the NFL said it found no such evidence.
Rudolph completed 25 passes in 43 attempts for 324 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in 2020. He didn't take an offensive snapshot in the first nine weeks of the 2021 campaign.
Don't be surprised if Dwayne Haskins sees snapshots against the Lions
Roethlisberger's absence not only puts Rudolph in the starting position, but also elevates Dwayne Haskins, a 2019 Washington Football Team first round pick, to the substitute field.
If Rudolph is struggling or the game can get out of hand, don't be surprised when Steelers trainer Mike Tomlin sends Haskins onto the field. The Ohio State product completed 60.1% of its passes in Washington for 2,804 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions in 16 games and 13 starts.
Washington cut Haskins last December due to due issues. He has not reported any issues since joining the Steelers in January.
For the sake of the Steelers, they can only hope that Rudolph and Haskins will play better than Jordan Love in Week 9 in the absence of Aaron Rodgers.

Arlington divorce and separation attorneys
A divorce lawyer helps you if you no longer want to be married. Whether you want a legal separation or the marriage ended, divorce lawyers assist you to arrange financial and family matters, typically in a negotiation with your spouse's lawyer. Alimony, child custody, child support, and a fair division of community assets (like who keeps the house or how your checking and savings accounts are divided) are matters that a divorce lawyer is trained to help determine.

A series of Disney character Coke bottle caps were issued in Brazil in 1977. In small print along the inside rim is the year and "© Walt Disney Productions". Snow White and the dwarfs were included in the collection with their names printed in Portuguese. Each is numbered.
Branca De Neve is #29.
These particular caps come from collector Brian Main, who says his set is not yet complete but that there are at least 72 in the series, based upon the highest number he has. A few other examples include Urtigao #21, who was popular in Brazil and found in Donald Duck comics; Barrica (Mr. Smee) #57 from Peter Pan; and Mickey #60.

We're still missing four of the dwarfs in this collection. If anyone has pics they'd like to share, we'll be happy to add them and give you credit.
I came across this Snow White player piano roll on ebay awhile back, and at first, it seemed like this could be quite the vintage find. After all, they don't make these things anymore, right? Wrong! According to their website, "QRS has been manufacturing piano rolls since 1900 and is the only manufacturer of piano rolls still in business today."
This particular roll, catalog no. XP-146-B, features a medley of six Snow White songs, though it's not indicated which titles are included. They were performed by Doug Roe, a now-deceased recording artist and arranger for QRS.

Searching the QRS website today, we find that a very similar roll to the one above is still available (catalog no. XP-146; retail $25). It features a medley of seven Snow White songs: 1. Whistle While You Work; 2. Heigh-Ho; 3. Someday My Prince Will Come; 4. One Song; 5. With A Smile and A Song;. 6. I'm Wishing; 7. Bluddle-Uddle-Um-Dum.
There's also a solo roll that plays Someday My Prince Will Come (catalog no. 6826; retail $15).
And one more quick search on ebay revealed an older roll, also produced by QRS, but performed by Lawrence Cook. "Heigh-Ho" (The Dwarf's Marching Song). Catalog #6814.
Lawrence Cook was "the most prolific piano roll artist in history," producing an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 different roll recordings. He passed away in 1976.
The 1952 US theatrical re-release of Snow White occurred on February 13th of that year. However, the promotional materials for this campaign were issued in 1951 and thus are dated so, "R51". The following is a series of 10 press kit 8x10 photos (glossy B&W).

Over the years, all of these classic images have been utilized by Disney in a myriad of ways, e.g. storybooks, puzzles, greeting cards, clothing items, and much more--including press kit photos for other re-releases.
A fabulous boxed set of the Seven Dwarfs, manufactured by the Seiberling Latex Products Co. of Akron, Ohio. Includes all seven original solid rubber figures.

Box imprint reads, "© 1937 WALT DISNEY ENTERPRISES."
A similar boxed set appeared in the 2012 Animation Auction Catalog from Profiles in History. While it has the same cover, it differs in that it also includes the hollow rubber Snow White figure. The catalog states that this one dates from 1939.
The set was offered by Heritage Auctions in May 2005.
See an earlier Archive entry for much more detailed information on these Seiberling latex figures.
A series of eight color prints featuring Snow White and the Dwarfs was issued in 1938. Each is marked "© W.D. Ent." The framed pictures with glass were available for purchase by the public, and were also used as promotional give-aways, such as in the Jingle Club bread campaign.
The pictures were offered in a various fancy wooden frame styles. Measures 5.25" x 6".
Fancy frame pics via iskowitz rare coins.
The same prints in slightly different frames are found on p.193 of the 1974 Disneyana book by Cecil Munsey. According to the author, they were "sold by Artisto, Inc. of NYC. Each picture came with an antiqued frame in a box and retailed for 39¢." Other Disney characters were also produced.
More frames are seen on p.149 of The Collector's Encyclopedia of Disneyana by David Longest and Michael Stern.
The prints were issued in metal frames too.

FCC ACTING CHAIRWOMAN CIRCULATES "ROBOTEXT" PROPOSAL
Acting Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel announced today that she had circulated to her Commissioner colleagues "a proposed rulemaking that would require mobile wireless providers to block illegal text messaging…." https://www.fcc.gov/document/acting-chair-rosenworcel-proposes-rules-combat-rise-robotexts
According to the News Release, "[i]f adopted by a vote of the full Commission, the rulemaking would explore steps to protect consumers from illegal robotexts, including network level blocking and applying caller authentication standards to text messaging."
In conjunction with the announcement, the Acting Chairwoman commented: "In a world where so many of us rely heavily on texting to stay connected with our friends and family, ensuring the integrity of this communication is vitally important…We've seen a rise in scammers trying to take advantage of our trust of text messages by sending bogus robotexts that try to trick consumers to share sensitive information or click on malicious links. It's time we take steps to confront this latest wave of fraud and identify how mobile carriers can block these automated messages before they have the opportunity to cause any harm."
According to the News Release, "[i]n 2020 alone, the Commission received approximately 14,000 consumer complaints about unwanted text messages, representing an almost 146% increase from the number of complaints the year before. Thus far in 2021, the Commission has received over 9,800 consumer complaints about unwanted texts. Meanwhile, data from other sources reaffirm evidence of the problem. For example, RoboKiller reports 7.4 billion spam texts were sent in March 2021."
TCPAWorld will be tracking the item as it progresses.

"Trash-talking" and "distortion": What a tech rival is saying about Compass
CEO of MoxiWorks claims his competitor has overstated its market share, agent retention rate
National /
Jul.July 31, 2018 03:00 PM
By E.B. Solomont
In an open letter, the CEO of a rival brokerage is accusing Compass of "trash-talking" and "distortion." (Credit: iStock and IK Films via Google)
It's the open letter ricocheting around the residential brokerage world.
Addressed to Compass, the lengthy missive is full of zingers accusing the New York-based startup of "trash-talking," "distortion" and being "boastful." It concludes by inviting Compass to "set the record straight."
About what? According to the letter's author, York Baur, CEO of MoxiWorks — a cloud-based technology platform for agents — Compass has overstated its market share and agent retention rate, and exaggerated claims of building new agent technology tools from scratch.
Posted to Seattle-based MoxiWorks' website on Monday, the letter accuses Compass of licensing tech from third-party providers like MailChimp for email marketing and Mopro for website design.
"These are all fine choices, but you don't 'build everything in house,' so why the distortion?" Baur wrote. "The tech stack you tout is something every other brokerage can quite literally replicate on the open market — many already have."
It's not the first time the venture-capital backed Compass has faced the equivalent of a political attack ad. In 2016, a 16-page presentation (alleging broker poaching and data theft) was sent to a host of rival firms in New York and Los Angeles.
In Baur's case, however, the letter may also be an attempt to win business for his firm.
MoxiWorks, which officially launched in 2012, was spun out of Windermere Real Estate, a Seattle-based brokerage that is now a competitor of Compass. According to its website, MoxiWorks claims to have 60 brokerage offices and 110,000 agent clients, including Howard Hanna and Long & Foster.
Baur's letter contains a certain amount of navel-gazing — such as his statement that the "first wave of brokerage tech" took place in the 1990s when Windermere launched one of the first known brokerage websites. During the 2000s, he said, there were some other "obvious examples of innovative technology use," including Zillow and Redfin.
In the letter, Baur threw shade at Compass' retention rate, which he pegged at just 245 days on average — without explaining how he arrived at that figure. The letter did disclose the source of its claim that Compass had overstated market share in Seattle. Compass says it has 5 percent market share in the city. Citing MoxiWorks data — which it says encompasses 90 percent of U.S. home sales — Baur claims Compass was involved in less than 1 percent of Seattle deals.
In response, Compass' head of communications, Julie Binder, said "Moxiworks' op-ed about Compass is an explicit pitch to buy their software." Compass also disputes the accuracy of MoxiWorks' data.
MoxiWorks claims that Compass has just 0.4 percent market share in New York City, arguably one of its strongest markets. But according to The Real Deal's annual ranking of residential firms, Compass ranked fourth with $1.37 billion in closed sell-side deals in Manhattan last year.

With their 2048 x 2048 frame size and images as often as every 2.5 minutes, STEREO images in the extreme ultraviolet wavelength provides us with the opportunity to pick out any part of the Sun and zoom in for a much closer look. We picked out one active region (September 6, 2007) and magnified our view of that area 10 times from the image showing the entire Sun. Even with a full screen view of the original frame, details of this active region are difficult to discern. But, the close-up still and the movie frames reveal subtle details of lighter loops of plasma arcing and slowly changing above this active region. These trace the magnetic field lines that rise out, above, and connect back into the solar surface. The looping patterns shift and sway over this 15 hours period, but do not generate any solar storms. When the Solar Dynamics Observatory launches and begin operations in about year or so, it will offer much faster frame rates and even more detailed images of the Sun. (For more STEREO image and movies, go here: http://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/ [ http://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ])

SOURCES OF THE SOLAR WIND? --- "Plumes" of outward flowing, hot gas in the Sun's atmosphere may be one source of the solar "wind" of charged particles. These images, taken May 8, 1996, by the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) on board SOHO show ultraviolet images of polar plumes near the sout solar pole at about 1.5 million degrees Celsius in the Fe XII emission line at 195 A (top) and at somewhat cooler temperature at about 1 million degrees in the Fe IX/X emission lines at 171 A (bottom). These images represent the first opportunity scientists have had to see the detailed development over time of the plume structures in which the solar wind is accelerated, at least at the solar poles. Because of SOHO's continuous view of the Sun, scientists have been able to make movies that allow us to understand the relationship between the magnetic field and the polar plumes.

Essence Ventures, LLC, snags Essence magazine from Time Inc..
Essence Ventures, LLC, has kicked off 2018 by securing a major bag and giving Essence magazine control of its brand.
There is power in the purse!
Black women have reclaimed 100 percent control of Essence as Essence Ventures, LLC, announced today that it bought the magazine from Time Inc. The magazine's president, Michelle Ebanks, is excited for what this offers the publication. She predicts that this will allow Essence the chance to flourish in a very meaningful way.
While Ebanks will continue on as the president of Essence, she'll also expand her role by joining the board of directors for the company. Did we mention that the magazine's executive team, which is completely comprised of Black women, will also have equity in Essence? The publication will truly be by Black women and for Black women on every level, and that is exactly the way Essence Ventures wants it!
There's no word on how much Essence Ventures shelled out to acquire Essence, but this money move is just the most high profile example of as Essence Ventures' mission to encourage entreprenuership among people of color.
For its part, Essence intends to rise to the occasion (if not exceed it), by continuing to deliver content that celebrates its readership.
If this isn't pure Black Girl Magic, we don't know what is.

Salim Furth
@salimfurth
Former Research Fellow, Macroeconomics
Salim was a Research Fellow in Macroeconomics at The Heritage Foundation.
Two economic research papers published this month show that where children live can have an impact on their prospects for success later in life. Parents already know that—and it is why houses in good neighborhoods often cost three or four times as much as houses in bad neighborhoods.
The new studies have garnered outsized attention,[1] but the results are neither as clear nor as firm as reported. One paper finds both benefits and costs to relocating families with children. The other paper finds that children who moved had different outcomes in different places—but does not prove that their success or failure would be replicated by others who made the same moves.
Disruption and Opportunity
The first study is straightforward and finds that the experimental Moving to Opportunity housing-voucher program in the 1990s had positive effects for young children and negative effects for teenagers.[2] In their new neighborhoods, the younger kids benefited from growing up with safer streets, better schools, fewer gangs, more neighbors with intact families, more prosperity, harder-working adults, and the rest of the characteristics that define a "good neighborhood." It confirms what families already know: Sometimes the path to opportunity involves a new location.
However, moving to a better neighborhood hurt teenagers' future earnings, possibly because the move disrupted social networks. The disruption cost confirms the importance of place: Social networks are valuable even in very poor neighborhoods. The paper indicates that the disruption cost is large—equal to about five years of living in a better neighborhood[3]—although it is statistically imprecise. The disruption cost affects young children as well as teens; the authors did not test whether it affects adults.
Families who participated in the Moving to Opportunity experiment understood the potential costs of moving: About half of those who were offered a subsidy turned down the chance to move. Presumably, the families who opted out were those for which the disruption costs would have been larger and the benefits smaller.
The paper makes a contribution by emphasizing that moving has up-front costs as well as long-term benefits for children. It implicitly cautions against housing policies that move families around and recommends targeting existing relocation opportunities to families with young children.
Moving to Opportunity has been widely studied. Previous studies found no effect on most income, health, and academic outcomes for both adults and children.[4] Although the present study finds some positive income effects for young children, the experiment failed to achieve most of its objectives.
It would be unwise to turn the Moving to Opportunity experiment into a widespread feature of housing policy. An earlier generation of urban social planners also believed that geography caused poverty and moved thousands of poor families from their old tenements to brand-new government housing projects. The projects often became much worse neighborhoods and stand today as a symbol of governmental hubris and failure.
"Potentially Misleading"
The second study is much harder to understand and economists are still debating what the results mean.[5] Regrettably, the paper is ripe for misinterpretation. The authors call the study "The Impact of Neighborhoods on Intergenerational Mobility," but the "neighborhoods" in question are counties or entire metropolitan and rural areas. Unlike the Moving to Opportunity study, the second study has almost nothing to say about neighborhoods in the sense of Plymouth-Exchange, Jamaica Plain, or Petworth.[6]
The study primarily uses data gathered from families moving at least 100 miles, not families remaining within the same metro area. When a family moves, the authors compare the outcomes for younger children to the outcomes of older children. They do find that the effects of a move (positive or negative) have more influence on outcomes for siblings who are young at the time of the move than for those who are teenagers. They also find that geography matters more for boys than for girls.
However, unlike the first study, the second lacks experimental rigor. Families who move are dissimilar to families who stay put. The study also tries to remove the effects of parental income, so that a parent who earns $60,000 a year in Santa Clara County, California (median household income: $92,000[7]), is directly compared to a parent who earns $60,000 a year in Colusa County, California (median household income: $52,000[8]). But a parent capable of earning $60,000 a year in Colusa is likely more skilled or more motivated than one earning $60,000 in high-wage Santa Clara. Even more concerning is that the life events (such as job loss, divorce, or graduation) that spark a move to Santa Clara are likely to indicate a different trajectory in family fortunes than the life events that spark a move to rural Colusa.
The authors recognize this shortcoming, admitting that "the availability of jobs is another important factor in a location decision, [so] it is potentially misleading to consider the negative correlation with rent and house prices as an indication that it is cheaper on net to move to a [region] with a higher causal effect."[9]
The same caution can be extended to most of the paper. One of the primary benefits of living in Santa Clara County is the availability of well-paid work. So when The New York Times reports that Colusa County is "better than about 85 percent of [U.S.] counties"—including Santa Clara—for low-income children's economic prospects, it is assuming that their parents make the same amount of money living in Colusa as they would in Santa Clara or anywhere else.[10] For most prospective movers, ignoring the job market would be foolhardy.
Technically speaking, the effects that the authors estimate are analogous to the "treatment on the treated."[11] That is not the same as estimating the marginal treatment effect, which would be of vastly more interest to parents and policymakers.
The paper is so easily misinterpreted because it answers a question that no one is asking[12] while sounding similar to questions that many people do ask: "Where should I move to maximize my children's opportunities? Should I move at all?" The study does not answer those questions.
Local Policy
Research on neighborhood effects may tempt policymakers to play real estate agent, subsidizing moves from one place to another. A better approach is to use the research as a reminder of the importance of local policies.
Municipalities can improve children's outcomes by promoting public safety and using competition and parental choice to offer better and more diverse schools. Counties with high wages and low unemployment, like Santa Clara, should permit denser residential construction, allowing more families to afford access to their job markets.
Many, perhaps most, American families will move to a better neighborhood or more prosperous city at some point in their lives. But American families need new opportunities, not just a shuffling around of existing ones. The response to failing schools, shuttered factories, and gang-haunted playgrounds can—and should—be much more innovative than a moving truck.

PORT ANGELES — The state Department of Licensing has fined Mount Angeles Memorial Park and Crematory owner Danny Wakefield $12,500 for violating state law on removing and reprocessing cremains without permission of next of kin.
The Department of Licensing (DOL) in an Nov. 6 negotiated, agreed order, determined that the mortuary engaged in unprofessional conduct because it was unauthorized to reprocess the cremains, which an employee said were those of indigent decedents, at the 45 Monroe Road facility east of Port Angeles.
"The remains were removed from the mausoleum, reprocessed to a finer consistency, and metals removed prior to receiving a court order or consent from the next of kin and without providing notice to the next of kin before removing them from a place of interment," according to the order, issued by the DOL's state Funeral and Cemetery Board.
"Thus, this conduct violates RCW 68.50.140(3) (specifically, the place of interment was opened with the intent to remove, not the intent to sell)," according to the order.
It is not illegal to recycle cremains, according to state law, but reprocessing the cremains without authorization is "incompetence, negligence or malpractice," the order said.
Violation of the RCW is a Class C felony.
Wakefield paid the fine "as soon as I got the final order," he said Wednesday.
Wakefield, who lives in Utah, also owns Dungeness and Sequim View cemeteries.
He and his brother, Chris Price, purchased the funeral homes and cemeteries in mid-June, 2014.
The DOL imposed the fine and stayed suspending the mortuary's Cemetery Certificate of Authority on condition Wakefield not engage in further "unprofessional conduct" for five years, according to the order.
"We were hoping to find someone to scatter them or we were going to scatter them," Wakefield said Wednesday.
Decedents were buried with metal and other objects that were recycled, Wakefield told a DOL compliance program official in a Sept. 15, 2015, email.
The materials were valued at "not more than $300" and were recycled with other decedents' remains, Wakefield said.
Wakefield told Pamela Griese of the DOL that "revenue received from the crematory metal recycling would offset the postage fees for the notification process of abandoned cremated remains" and that the cremains were reprocessed "for scattering purposes," according to her June 12 memo on her telephone conversation with him.
The recycling of the materials in the reprocessed remains should have been disclosed to the decedents' next of kin, the DOL said.
The cremains were removed from the mausoleum so the urns could be better organized, not to profit from recycled material, Wakefield said.
"The intent was to organize a situation that we came upon that was not properly organized in my opinion," he said.
It was not worth the time or expense to challenge the agency, Wakefield said.
"Or I can move on, and don't get to decide what the terms are like," he said.
"There's a big difference between someone removing cremains from a cemetery establishment with the intent to try to enrich themselves.
The order cited a June 12, 2015, written statement by Wakefield in which he said the cremains were reprocessed to remove "materials not original to a decedent's corpus, such as nails, staples, screws or other implants," according to Wakefield's statement, obtained last week by Peninsula Daily News in a public records request for investigative files on the case.
"Knowing that there are many places where remains may be scattered, I do not wish for anyone to be alarmed or otherwise injured should they walk upon ground where remains had previously been scattered," Wakefield said in the statement.
The agreed order was the result of an investigation by the DOL's Business and Professional Division, Funeral and Cemetery Unit, which was following up on an anonymous complaint.
Hauenstein visited the cemetery June 11, 2015, to conduct an annual inspection and investigate the complaint, he said.
He saw urns in the shop "stacked on top of each other consistent to the allegations from the anonymous complaint," he said. At least 90 urn boxes were on a table and desk at the shop, according to a photograph in his report.
In his report, Hauenstein listed 167 urns in the shop, 12 of which were being reprocessed and dated to 1976.
Crematory Manager Michael Powells told Hauenstein the urns were being inventoried to obtain an accurate accounting and that the cemetery was going to try to notify next of kin to return the cremains or scatter them.
Powells told him the cremains were indigent.
"I told Mr. Powells that if the cremated remains were from decedents that were indigent, that meant there was no family to contact," Hauenstein said.
Wakefield said in a July 18, 2015, email to the DOL that records of the deceased can be wrong.
"To the contention that infallible records could be obtained and relied upon at a funeral or cemetery office, thereby invalidating the need to inventory these remains, I rebut with personal experience of witnessing unintentional mapping discrepancies, incorrectly or inadequately trusted monies and other evidences of error or mismanagement," he said.
DOL Case Manager Ron Messenger disputed Wakefield's reasoning.
"While there is logic in the reasons for identifying and recording the cremated remains contained int he said crypts, I fell this could have been accomplished at the crypt site with the need to actually remove any urns to another location for identification purposes as rare," Messenger said in a Sept. 16, 2015, memo.
One of the urns Hauenstein and the investigator who accompanied him inventoried contained a plastic bag with jewelry, Hauenstein said.
Wakefield said in the June 18, 2015, email that a diamond ring and necklace that Hauenstein found had already been added to the mortuary's inventory when Hauenstein found the items, and that Hauenstein was told that at the time.
"It was insinuated to me that we were 'grave-robbers,' " Wakefield said.


Going up to the mid 80s here in Nevada.
It's been an amazingly cool and overcast week. I never thought I would see conditions like this again until autumn.
Mild and comfortable today with a high of 54 F. Day ended on a cloudy note.
Winter Storm Warning. 5-10 inches of snow possible tonight into tomorrow.
Through 4pm: Partly cloudy with temperatures rising towards the upper 70s. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph.
We only got to 48°F this morning. Quite warm for this time of year, but not bad. Our only day in the 60s today, then three 70°F days with possible 80°F on Saturday.
The warmest day of the year so far again today with a high of 17.7C after a low of only 9.4C, though with the strength of the wind and hours of drizzle this morning it didn't feel particularly warm. The next two days are both likely to be warmer and sunnier too.

Celebrity Couple Anne Curtis and Erwan Heusaff are Expecting!
Power couple Anne Curtis and Erwan Heusaff are expecting their first child!
Anne Curtis made the announcement on her official Instagram account
Meanwhile Erwan Heusaff simply posted "5/9" on his, which might mean that Curtis is already 5 months pregnant
It's been a long time coming for the celebrity power duo, but it's still one of the happiest news that have come from the powerhouse couple.
Anne Curtis' Announcement
Curtis and Heussaff both shared the good news on Sunday with a special video on their respective Instagram accounts, with the song "Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby" by Cigarettes After Sex in the background.
"I think you should know something… Another reason to love November," she said on her post.

Her husband, Celebrity Chef Erwan Heussaf, meanwhile just simply wrote "5/9" on his post. Internet sleuths and dedicated followers alive have interpreted to mean that Curtis is already five months pregnant.
Viva Artist Agency, the management company of the "It's Showtime" host, also congratulated the couple after they made the announcement.
"Here's a toast to the beautiful mother and to her handsome hubby. May they be blessed with a cute baby like no other Congratulations to you both!" it said.
Anne and Erwan tied a knot in a private ceremony in Queenstown, New Zealand back in November 2017.
A month earlier, the "It's Showtime" noontime host doubled down on her plea to stop the press from asking women questions about pregnancy and marriage. This was after she was asked about her plans to have a baby.
According to the multi-awarded actress, it's important to take note that there some are women who are going through things in life.
"I think I should take this opportunity and say that the press should stop asking that to any woman, because you don't know what they're going through," she said.
Anne Curtis, who emphasized that she's speaking not just for herself but to all the women out there, says she believes in God's perfect time.
"For me naman, it will happen in God's time, and I think at any time I'm ready for it," the 34-year-old singer stated. "But I'm speaking for every woman. You don't know what they're going through," she added.
It certainly is all in the timing, as the couple may have waited for the perfect opportunity to announce their wonderful news.
In the conference, she also added that she felt bad when she hears that question because she has friends who she is aware of trying to get pregnant, but simply couldn't/
"I have a lot of friends who may be trying, and medyo nakakasakit when people keep asking them, 'When are you going to have a baby?' Or maybe they just don't want to have a baby," she remarked.
"I hope you guys don't take this the wrong way, but I think in respect to every woman, you should stop asking when they're going to get married, why don't they have a baby, or when they are going to have a baby," she said.
Anne Curtis and her Sister-in-Law is "happy to grow" with each other
After Curtis announced her pregnancy on Sunday, the actress's sister-in-law, and also soon-to-be mom Solenn Heussaff also uploaded her photo with her fellow mom-to-be.
The two women proudly showed off their baby bumps.
"4 humans in a photo, happy to grow with you," Heussaff wrote in the caption of her Instagram post.

Grace Darling - Victorian Heroine
In 1838 an unassuming young woman shot to fame for her heroics after a passenger ship was smashed to pieces off the north-eastern coast of England.
Nestled on the far north-eastern coast of England, mere miles from the Scottish border, lies the tiny village of Bamburgh. There is nothing special about the village, whose history is dwarfed by the nearby Lindisfarne island where the Vikings first landed in England, apart from one thing. In the graveyard of the village church lies the body of one of Victorian England's most celebrated heroines.
Grace Darling had a short life, dying a month shy of her 27th birthday. It would have been a life lived totally anonymously in her little village, if events a mile offshore had not turned her into a sensation. During a violent storm early one morning she spotted a shipwreck from her father's lighthouse and set out on a near suicidal mission to rescue the survivors. She rowed her modest boat through the ferocious sea and collected as many people as she could, all the while navigating the rocks that had smashed the steamship into pieces. She nearly died herself during the perilous journey across the unrelenting waves, but by the middle of the morning she had secured her place as national hero.
Shy and intensely private, Grace was not cut out for the media circus she was thrust into and tried to retreat back to the nondescript life she had enjoyed before the incident. Perhaps because of her refusal to cash in on her heroics, her fame ebbed away once she died and the years passed. But people in the modern day would do well to visit her unassuming Northumberland village, look out to the rocks just offshore, and picture her heroic mission.
Grace Darling was born in Bamburgh on 24th November 1815, the seventh of William and Thomasin Darling's nine children. William Darling was a lighthouse keeper responsible for guiding passing ships past the Farne islands, a jagged collection of small islands lying about a mile from the coast of the mainland. By all accounts, Grace had a happy childhood, playing with her siblings in and around the lighthouse on Longstone island, the farthest island from the coast, while their father was on duty and being taught to read and write by her parents. As the seventh of nine siblings it was sometimes hard for Grace to be noticed and she developed into a reserved young woman, though her father could coax animated conversation from her when discussing their shared passions – history and geography.
Grace Darling
By the time Grace was 20 she was regularly helping her father during his shifts on watch and earnt a decent salary for doing so. She would also join him as he rowed around the islands to assist with any rescue or salvage missions he had to make, developing her own skills as a capable rower despite her diminutive 5'2 frame.
The area was notoriously dangerous for ships. A number of the Farne islands would disappear beneath the waves depending on the tide, and between 1740 and 1837 there were 42 shipwrecks recorded around the islands.
The SS Forfarshire rescue
On 5th September 1838, the SS Forfarshire steamship set sail from Hull on the way to Dundee. Snaking up the eastern British coast with about 40 passengers and 23 crew, the ship's boilers started to leak on the first night of the voyage, causing total engine failure by midnight on the night of the 6-7th September. To make matters worse, a fierce storm was brewing in the North Sea that night, leaving the ship drifting helplessly in the middle of the brutal waves. The captain of the ship spotted a lighthouse and, believing it to be the lighthouse nearest the coast, attempted to manoeuvre his vessel towards it using only a sail. However, he had actually spotted the Longstone lighthouse that was farthest out to sea, and therefore his hope that he was safely between the islands and the mainland was fatally misplaced. A large wave sent the ship crashing into an island known as Big Harcar, and the ship started to sink rapidly. The crew managed to launch one lifeboat, but within 15 minutes the waves had battered the ship against the rock so mercilessly that it split in two, sending everyone at the back of the ship to their watery graves. This left seven passengers and five crewmembers, who desperately hauled themselves onto the rocky island.
Grace Darling was with her father in the Longstone lighthouse that night and spotted the wreckage of the SS Forfarshire just before 5 O'clock in morning. She immediately retrieved her telescope and scanned the area for survivors, but it was too dark to see anyone. She raced to inform her father of what she had seen and the pair of them agreed that they would have to wait and see if daylight would reveal any people. Sure enough, when the sun rose around two hours later, the Darlings saw the 12 figures perched precariously on the rock.
Rescue efforts in the area would often involve steamships that were docked in the north Sunderland harbour – where Grace's older brother was stationed – but the rocks made it impossible for a large boat to help with this particular mission. Grace and her father realised it would be left to them, with their tiny rowing boat, to attempt the rescue.
With the storm still howling, the pair of them ventured out into a sea where they were dwarfed by the huge waves and rowed nearly a mile to reach the desperate survivors. By the time they got there, three of the 12 had died from exposure, including two children. Their mother, Sarah Dawson, was still clinging to their bodies when she was rescued.
Realising they could not safely take everyone back to Longstone in one journey, it was decided that Ms Dawson – the only female survivor – and an injured male passenger would be rescued in the first journey, along with two Forfarshire crew members who could help row the boat. Grace and her mother tended to the woman and man upon their arrival back on Longstone, while William Darling and the two crew members went back for the remaining four men. It was just as the rescue mission was completed that a steamship appeared nearby, having been scrambled from north Sunderland when news of the wreckage reached the docks there. On board the steamship was none other than Grace Darling's older brother, who was surprised to learn that it was his sister and father who had been the heroes of the hour.
National Darling
In all, Grace and her father had rescued nine people. Along with the other nine survivors, who had managed to get on a lifeboat before the SS Forfarshire split in two, this totalled 18 survivors out of the 63 souls who had set sail from Hull. Of course, that still meant that well over half of the people on board had died, but Grace and her father had saved everyone they could. Further, it was the manner of the rescue that caught the public's imagination. Here was a young woman, only 22-years-old, who had risked her life and taken to the stormy seas without a moments hesitation in order to save the lives of others. It has to be remembered that the society Grace lived in was highly gendered and her exploits were considered to have been uncommon for a woman. It was deemed rare for a woman to exhibit such heroism and as such the newspapers had a field day, splashing the stories of the valiant Northumberland woman across their pages for the public to feast their eyes on. The praise of her sometimes crept into wildly unfair criticism of her father, who was portrayed by some reporters as a coward who had to be urged into the rescue by his daughter. Grace Darling herself always refuted this, stressing that her father had been just as keen as her and that he had been involved in numerous rescue missions before this one. Fortunately, both father and daughter received official recognition and were rewarded the Royal National Lifeboat Institution's silver medal for gallantry.
Darling's story also resonated with the public as the newspapers attempted to portray her as an idealised version of an Englishwoman. Queen Victoria was barely a year into her reign and the press were keen to play on the idea of this being a new era, with Grace Darling being the pinnacle of what a Victorian woman should be. Indeed, in the absence of photographs (still a few years away from being mainstream) the newspapers created images of her as a pretty, blue-eyed woman with luscious blonde hair. In reality, Grace was more modest looking and had darker features. The 'ideal Englishwoman' attempts also conveniently disregarded the fact that Grace's father William was in fact Scottish.
Any confusion caused by the false images of her in the newspapers was not enough to stop Grace's normal life being totally uprooted. Visitors flocked from all over the country to catch a glimpse of her, she was constantly stopped in the streets around Bamburgh as people tried to talk to her, plays and songs were written about her and the press were unrelenting in their requests for interviews. Even Queen Victoria herself sent a reward of £50 – nearly a full year's salary for Grace – which further ignited the media's interest. All of this was incredibly unsettling for Grace, by nature a reserved woman who yearned for nothing more than a return to normalcy. Unfortunately, she would never get that return. Towards the end of 1842, when she was still in the national spotlight, she developed tuberculosis and died on 20th October in her father's arms at the age of 26. Though tuberculosis was a fairly common disease at the time, William Darling was adamant that the pressures which had been exerted on his daughter had hastened her demise, and he was not entirely happy when hundreds of mourners attended her funeral four days later. Grace was laid to rest in the graveyard at St. Aidan's church in her beloved Bamburgh. Unlike many heroes throughout history, she had never desired to be anything more than a modest daughter of her village and her fade into anonymity after her death was exactly what she would have wanted. But her heroism one stormy night in 1838 ensured that, whether she liked it or not, she could never drift into total irrelevance.

Q: Copy apk files in a bash script I tried the following script written by me.
#!/bin/bash
adb -s 015d2578a7280412 shell ls /data/app > apps.txt
while read line
do
    apk=/data/app/$line
    adb -s 015d2578a7280412 pull $apk apk-nexus7-default
done < apps.txt

I got errors like:
' does not existdata/app/com.StudioOnMars.CSPortable-1.apk
' does not existdata/app/com.adobe.reader-1.apk

When I tried
adb -s 015d2578a7280412 pull /data/app/com.adobe.reader-1.apk apk-nexus7-default
It worked.
Any problem with the piece of scripts?

A: It's a known issue with adb - that even in linux it is using MSDOS style newline characters - CR+LF ('\r\n') instead of just LF ('\n').
The easiest way to mitigate that is to remove '\r' from the adb output
adb -s 015d2578a7280412 shell ls /data/app | tr -d '\r'> apps.txt

A: Just do:
$ adb  -s 015d2578a7280412 pull /data/app/

pull: building file list...
pull: /data/app/some.apk -> ./some.apk

This week we take a look at an alternative: doing Matric or an equivalent course through a TVET College.
Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges, formerly known as FET Colleges, are great.
They offer qualifications in a wide range of practical fields, such as engineering, hospitality and business.
What you may not know is that some TVET Colleges also offer the chance for you to redo Matric, either part-time or full-time.
Some TVET colleges offer the option to redo Matric, usually on the current CAPS syllabus.
Normally, you will only be able to register for the subjects that you've failed before or have done before and want to improve; in other words, you cannot replace one subject with another.
To pursue this, you will need to contact the relevant college and enquire about their options for redoing Matric.
They can give you the information you'll be looking for, such as fees, registration dates, etc.
Another option offered by TVET is an equivalent, but alternative, qualification to the National Senior Certificate (Matric). Called the National Certificate Vocational (NCV), this qualification is NQF Level 4, just like Matric.
This means that it is an equivalent qualification.
Unlike Matric, however, the emphasis is on technical skills.
When you choose a course, you will have options such as IT, Business, Management, Hospitality, and many others.
Most universities will accept a National Certificate Vocational if you apply, making this a good choice for people wanting to improve their career and education options with a Matric-level qualification.
When considering registering at a college or other institute, you should always check to make sure that it is legitimate and not a bogus college.
Do they have a website? Does it look legitimate?
Are they accredited by the Council of Higher Education?
Can they provide an accreditation certificate?
