It is not easy to be a courtside reporter.
After all, it is considered one of the most highly scrutinized positions in the world of sports broadcasting. The best people on the job are those who can relate well to the audience, speak clearly and articulately, and exude confidence whenever possible.

In ABS-CBN Sports' coverage of the UAAP men's basketball and women's volleyball, a courtside reporter is hired not because he/she is pretty or handsome, but because the network wants them to represent the school with both enthusiasm and pride. Unfortunately, there are those who were simply not up to the task.

Last Saturday, ABS-CBN quietly replaced Nicole Sumagui with Stef Monce as Adamson University's courtside reporter. No explanation was made regarding the change, but observant viewers saw that Sumagui stuttered at times, was tentative and lacked confidence in her abilities.
Sumagui was not the first courtside reporter to get the pink slip early in the season. There have been two such cases in which a UAAP courtside reporter was replaced before the season concluded.
Prior to UAAP Season 73 (2010-11), ABS-CBN assigned Karen Rozul to be the courtside reporter of National University. But the network replaced her with the late Maan Panganiban when they realized that Rozul was not confident enough for the job.
Two seasons later, NU endured some deja vu when the ineffective Muriel Orais was dismissed in favor of Steph Sy. Sy, like Stef Monce later on, had already exhausted her two-year eligibility, but ABS-CBN reinstated her for a third year due to this untimely circumstance.
For all the talk about the next Pia Arcangel, Lia Cruz, Riki Flores, Aaron Atayde, Nikko Ramos and Laura Lehmann, there are those like Karen Rozul, Muriel Orais and Nicole Sumagui who do not deserve to be in the same room. They may have survived the auditions, yet they failed to translate that into at least one year's worth of on-the-job training for a future broadcasting career.
UAAP courtside reporting is not an easy task, but if one can survive and fulfill a dream, then it should bode well for their future career paths. With the second round of men's basketball plus a full slate of women's volleyball still to come, all eyes are on the seven rookies and one returnee to see if they have what it takes to be a great UAAP courtside reporter.
Note: Aside from Stef Monce, this season's roster of UAAP courtside reporters consist of Martie Bautista (Ateneo de Manila University), Eileen Shi (De La Salle University), Sydney Crespo (Far Eastern University), Miguel Dypiangco (National University), Migs Gomez (University of the East), Agatha Uvero (University of the Philippines) and Tonie Moreno (University of Sto. Tomas).

Why is SM a Better Fit for GMA?
January 22, 2014 ralphierceABS-CBN, Felipe Gozon, Gilberto Duavit, GMA, GMA Network, Henry Sy, Mall of Asia Arena, Manny V. Pangilinan, National University, Philippine Airlines, PLDT, Ramon S. Ang, San Miguel Corporation, SM, SM Malls, Smart Communications, Solar Entertainment, TV5 9 Comments
GMA should benefit more from Henry Sy and his SM chain of malls and condominiums.
GMA has been on the selling block for several months now. Several names crop up, such as Manny V. Pangilinan, owner of PLDT, Smart and TV5, and Ramon S. Ang, lead executive of San Miguel Corporation and shareholder of Philippine Airlines and Solar Entertainment. However, no one mentions Henry Sy of SM Group and his deep pockets.
For some reason, I looked forward to SM acquiring GMA. Why? Because Henry Sy is the richest man in the Philippines, and SM is an emerging conglomerate. SM, best known for its malls, has stepped up financially by building the Mall of Asia Arena and various high-rise condominiums, along with acquiring a stake in National University and revitalizing its athletics and educational program. By purchasing GMA from Felipe Gozon and Gilberto Duavit, SM should help rebuild a slumping broadcast giant, which is already suffering due to poor ratings, critically panned programming choices, and declining revenue.
Both ABS-CBN and TV5 are owned by conglomerates, and because of that, they are able to expand beyond the usual entertainment fare. In order to be at par with the other two networks, GMA needs a bigger company to thrive, and SM Group should be a good fit. But for now, it's only a dream.

Delay In Re-Opening Of Nye Regional Medical Center
By Casey Morell
Published February 4, 2016 at 6:52 PM PST
Nye County residents may have to wait just a little bit longer before the Nye Regional Medical Center reopens.
The Pahrump Valley Times reports the county commission has held off on entering an agreement for Renown Health to take over the operations of the hospital in Tonopah.
According to the commission, Renown has not been able to complete a final review of the contract governing the arrangement.
The Nevada Department of Taxation is looking into the arrangement between Nye County and Renown.
The state is unsure whether or not hospital district tax dollars can go to Renown because the facility will not be run as a "hospital" as defined by Nevada law.
Nevada law says hospitals have to provide lab services, along with pharmacies and dietary services, while the Nye Regional Medical Center will focus mainly on urgent care and primary care.

Whether you want to differentiate between inboxes or simply want a bit more colour, your MyZone/Gmail can now be customized with your own personal touch.
On Monday, 26th May, we introduced a change in the way spam is filtered in the staff email service. Exchange Online Protection (EOP) scans for spam emails and any messages infected with viruses that are addressed to staff '@tcd.ie' email accounts. When the EOP service detects and identifies anything suspicious, it will place it in quarantine and will send a notification email to you to inform you of this action. You will receive notifications daily, should there have been anything new placed in quarantine.
Within the notification email you will be able to manage any emails that have been quarantined. This includes reviewing all quarantined emails and marking any message that has been incorrectly identified as spam. As well, you will be able to report unwanted spam or phishing emails that arrive in your inbox. Reporting such email is a benefit to all staff as it reduces the amount of spam or phishing emails that get through the filtering service.
The new EOP service replaces the previous service, Forefront Online Protection for Exchange (FOPE), and so the previous facility to login to your quarantine online will be discontinued in due course. This service provides a means of combatting the significant increase in the number of phishing attacks on College which we have seen recently. We are doing our part to help keep your inbox safe.
For full details on what to expect, how to manage your spam and how to report spam or phishing emails please see our Spam email filtering web page.
In response to a large number of student password reset queries at the Helpdesk, we launched a new service in April 2013 in which students would be able to reset their own password easily and remotely.
At the start of the 2012/2013 Academic Year, approximately 430 students contacted the Helpdesk for password help. With the implementation of this password reset service, the Helpdesk saw a 43% reduction of password queries at the start of the 2013/2014 Academic Year.
In January 2014, there were just 91 password-related queries. That is a reduction of 46% from January 2013.
If you're interested in using the service, the only thing you'll need to do right now is sign-up with your mobile phone number and, optionally, an alternative email address. The options to sign-up for the service, and to use it if you forget your password, can be found at mypassword.tcd.ie.
Your MyZone 'sign in' page might look different these days. This is due to a recent change that Google has made to all of their 'sign in' pages.
Mostly, this means that you will now need to sign in with your full email address, i.e., username@tcd.ie.
Phishing awareness update – Thank you!
At the start of this academic year, we saw a significant increase in the number of 'spear' phishing attacks on College. Both TCD staff and students are very good at spotting a phishing message. However, a good phishing attack can catch people out. Therefore, IS Services set out at the beginning of this academic year to raise awareness about phishing.
As part of that initiative, we posted advice and tips from our IT Security officer to our website, included an article in our October enewsletter, as well as emailed all of College about these 'spear' phishing attacks in October and again in December, right before Christmas.
With each attack that came into College, we immediately blocked the spamming address and notified all of College. We kept the alerts section of our website up-to-date and current with news about incoming phishing attacks, and connected with our followers on Twitter regarding each fraudulent message that came into College.
These efforts have had a significant effect. Over the Christmas holidays, only one TCD email account succumbed to a phishing attack. With over 20,000 existing TCD email accounts, that's a remarkable success. We would like to take a few minutes to thank you for your attention and continued vigilance!
Phishing attacks will always come in, but we don't always have to fall prey. Remember that IS Services will never ask you for your username and password information through an email and that you should be extra vigilant about not opening unexpected emails. Keep an eye on your email about upcoming dates for our second annual IT security week.
Category: Email, IT Security, Staff Services, Student Services | Comments Off on Phishing awareness update – Thank you!
We are writing to introduce the new Service Status page for IS Services. On this page, you will find the latest news on the status of key IT services and systems within College.
Check this page for the status of the following IT services: student & staff email, TCDconnect, the wired network, Staff Wi-Fi, internet access to external sites, the College webserver, TCD web-based systems, and student printing.
Additional information and up-coming service alerts can be found in the 'Alerts' section of the IS Services website or through the IS Services Twitter page.
Students should be aware that Google, providers of the student MyZone email service, will only provide support for the two latest versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
IE 10 launches on Friday, 26th October 2012, and as a result Google will discontinue support for IE 8 shortly afterwards.
If students encounter any difficulty using MyZone on IE 8, we advise that they use the lastest version of Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
With the introduction of the new academic curriculum coding structure for 2012/2013, there is a change to the mailing lists used to contact different groups of College students. The new system is explained in detail on our student mailing lists web page.
The old student mailing lists are now permanently frozen, only reflecting 2011/2012 data, and so should no longer be used. Only the lists available via the web page above are being updated regularly. The mailing lists for contacting all undergraduates or all postgraduates have already been 'unfrozen' to reflect the new student data for 2012/2013.
If you wish to email a specific group of students which is not covered by one of the options provided on the website, then please contact the IS Services Helpdesk and define your requirement in as much detail as possible. IS Services will establish, with the help of SUSU, if a dataset can be provided from the student administration system to meet your requirement.
Students can now set their MyZone password and network login password to be the same, via a new webpage. This new page can be reached via the 'Set Password' link on the MyZone 'sign in' page, as shown in the image to the left.
After clicking this 'Set Password' link, you will be asked to enter your username and current network login password. You are then brought to the new page that allows you set both passwords to be the same.
You can still have separate passwords for MyZone and network login by using TCD Password Manager to set a separate network login password.

Barbados PM exploring funding for regional transport
By Marlon Madden
Mottley
(BARBADOS TODAY) — As the future of the struggling regional airline LIAT hangs in the balance, Prime Minister Mia Mottley, has hinted that she has started discussions with one of the Caribbean's development partners in Europe in that regard.
Stopping short of mentioning the airline by name, Mottley, who is the Lead Head of Government on the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) on the Single Market and Economy (CSME) in the CARICOM quasi-cabinet, said she had started discussions with the European Investment Bank (EIB) on possible funding for the regional "transportation sector".
She was speaking with journalists recently at a media conference to provide an update on her recent overseas trip to Toronto and Montreal in Canada, and Washington and Miami in the United States.
While opting not to give specifics, Mottley said she met with Senior Vice President of the EIB Alexander Stubb, pointing out that the financial institution has assisted Barbados before in the water sector and it was willing to assist with regional projects.
"The EIB doesn't only lend to the government, it also lends to private companies like the Barbados Light and Power in the past and it has also engaged here with not just national projects but also regional projects," said Mottley.
"And as the lead Prime Minister for the single market and single economy, I also had to engage in discussions with them on opportunities within the transport sector in particular, with respect to the EIB and its role in the region," she said.
Shareholder governments in LIAT have been pondering the future of the airline as it continues to restructure and call on governments whose countries benefit from its services to contribute.
Barbados is the majority shareholder. Other major shareholder governments are Antigua and Barbuda, where the airline is based, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Dominica.
When asked to share more information about the initial meetings with the EIB on transportation in the region, Mottley declined, but promised to do so in due course, adding that "running a government means going where the policy takes us, where the data takes us and where the information is".
"The discussions with the EIB are preliminary but by the same token, there are very few entities that the region as a whole can borrow from with respect to regional projects. The Europeans, in spite of everything else, have remained engaged with us, they understand the dynamics of a single market because they themselves have literally managed a single market and single economy for decades. So, when we are ready to speak on that, rest assured we will be," Mottley promised.
There have been mounting fears that LIAT, which employs more than 600 workers and services a network of 15 destinations, could be facing imminent closure if it did not get an urgent injection of funds.
Most of the fears have so far been expressed by St Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves, who said most of the countries which use the airline's services were not responding favourably to a request for US$5.4 million in order to ensure its survival.
While speaking on a Grenada Broadcasting Network programme recently, Gonsalves said Grenada was the only country so far to respond to the request by pumping in about EC$1 million (US$370,000).
In relation to Mottley's overseas trip, which was mainly designed to promote Barbados as a favourable place to do business, the Prime Minister and her team also met with the Irish Minister of Finance to discuss opportunities for corporation and technical assistance, she said.
They also met with several individuals as well as officials from commercial banks, insurance companies, major accounting firms and the Barbados diaspora in Toronto and Washington, updating them on progress that were being made in the local economy.
As for Barbados' future borrowing, Mottley said the country had four major primary partners – the EIB, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Caribbean Development Bank and the Development Bank of Latin America CAF – but insisted that "Barbados will do limited borrowing as we go forward". (MM)

What a lenghty title! But it does characterize well the thing I have been working on a couple of nights.
– I do not want to configure it, I want to write it.
– I want it to be written in PHP, which is a commodity language.
Usually PHP is coupled with some web server software, which together then constitutes web application server. This is a standard setup. It involves installing a web server, like Apache or NginX or IIS etc, which then you have to configure to suit your needs. Then you have to add PHP to it, and configure that too.
But what if you do not want a WEB server, what if you want a CUSTOM application server that does not use HTTP protocol but some weird/invented/forgotten/X protocol that you find suitable for your purpose?
And that is basically it. Framework handles the rest of the story, accepts multiple simultaneous connections, forks additional children, etc. There is still a lot to do but I managed to get first working daemon written in 10 minutes. It does fairly trivial job (accepting XML-RPC request and then su-ing to some specified user and running some shell command) but what seemed miles away once is now easily achieved.
Standalone preforking PHP application server framework.
If you find some feature missing and/or you have prepared a patch for it, let me know in comments. Also, (constructive) critique is welcome.


YENEGOA—THE Bayelsa State Government has announced the receipt of N24.16 billion from the Parish Club debt refund.
The state Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Markson Iworiso-Markson made the disclosure in a statement, yesterday.
He said the state governor, Mr Seriake Dickson had directed immediate payment of two months out of outstanding three salary arrears to workers and fourth months out seven months pensioners arrears to pensioners in the state.
Iworiso-Markson described the recent claim by the Minister of State for Agriculture, Mr. Heineken Lokpobiri, as disgraceful and unexpected of somebody occupying the exalted position of Minister.
He said that it was queer and indeed sad that a Minister could quote wild debt figures with the intent to mislead the public and discredit the government.
The commissioner said, "The Debt Management Office, (a federal Institution) in its June 2018 report stated that the debt portfolio of the state was N123 billion. This figure includes contingent liabilities which included contract payments and pension obligations. We advise Lokpobiri to educate himself or engage a brilliant young graduate to assist him.
"While the government is making every effort to achieve massive developmental strides in every area, government wish to condemn the unguarded statements of some highly placed individuals.


At HOPE we love seeing young people take hold of the freedom that Christ offers them and our heart is that all young people would have a space where they feel comfortable exploring and developing their own relationships with God, hopefully having fun at the same time. We get that it might not look the same for each young person so we meet for loads of different groups and activities across the week, each with a unique flavour and shape. Our youth workers are DBS checked, so it's safe and fun for everyone!
We meet together to catch up on the week we've just had and share some toast together as we learn a bit more about God in a relaxed and friendly way.
During the week we have a number of small groups for different ages that meet in houses to go deeper into the bible and what it looks like to be a disciple today - at school/college, work or wherever else you go. We have lots of fun together as we grow with each other so be ready to hear God and learn about him.
We also have larger social events, usually on Fridays, for everyone to come along and hang out. Check out the latest programme to see what's coming up but this is when we like to chill out and play games or go for laser quest, food and trips out. These are a great starting place if you want to bring a friend along who has never been to a church.
That's just a taste of what we've got going on for our young people. If you're interested in finding out more or want to get stuck in then grab someone or email us and we'll let you know what is happening this week.


Katie Flack, Ellie Bailes, Harley Bennett, Kit Graham and Kris Manktelow came into a much changed team from the Blackburn defeat, with Reserve Team coach Bill Long taking charge.
After a slow start, Millwall had the first real chance when Kasia Viggor was played through but Sinead Boyer did enough to put her off and the ball sailed wide.
Bryan, captaining the team against her former club, then created a chance out of nothing for herself, picking the ball up on the left wing and lashing a 20-yard shot goalwards but the ball rattled the far post.
A Bryan free kick was then poked across the face of goal by Jenny Newman and wide, but the Addicks had soon broken the deadlock. After 29 minutes, Graham lofted a brilliant ball over the Lionesses' defence and Bryan shot across keeper Chanell Yardley into the far corner of the net.
The visitors could have been level five minutes later when some good build-up play led to a cross to the far post, but winger Shauni Griffiths could only volley well wide.
Clifford battled well to win the ball back just before half time and laid the ball off to Bryan but the striker's volley whistled just over.
Manktelow almost got Charlton off a perfect start in the second half, but Yardley was alert to keep a corner from flying straight in at the near post.
Graham impressed throughout and was named PHSC plc's Player of the Match and was unlucky to see her shot saved after a surging solo run past former Addick Ellie Manning.
Just before the hour mark, Charlton doubled their lead when Bryan pounced on a mistake from keeper Yardley before slamming home from six yards.
Soon it was three when Clifford finished a move she started. After a flowing move, the ball was played to the midfielder and her first time 25 yard effort flew into the top corner.
Substitute Jade Keogh, who was making her first team debut, saw a late shot blocked after Clifford had clipped a ball in and Bennett chested down for the youngster.
After the game, Long was pleased with the performance and win, saying: "It was a battle, as you would expect from Millwall in a cup game.
"The girls dug in, had a good, steady first half and came out second half, played very well and I don't think the opposition managed a shot on target so it was a fantastic game.
"We needed to change just to give some girls a rest. We have had midweek games as well as Sunday games and that catches up with you after a while.

There is a correlation between C02 levels in the atmosphere and sea level rises.
1 Temperature and sea level changes
2 CO2 levels in the atmosphere are now 397ppm
3 Article source
Temperature and sea level changes
So far we have looked at the astonishing melting of the ice in the Arctic, at what the IPCC did or didn't do about sea level rise and at Hansen's recent thinking on the matter. Now I'd like to give a few snapshots of what the real world implications would be.
The story of temperature and sea level change is encapsulated in that really neat little image at the top of the post which I got from Climate Code Red (February 2008). They got it via Rahmstorf from Archer, 2006.
We can argue about the extremities. The last glacial maximum may have been 5 or 6C colder than now. Hansen puts an ice-free world at 5c warmer. It might turn out to be 6C if, perish the thought, Armageddon comes to be. But anyone can see there's a problem. When 10-12C gives you close to 200 metres of sea level change each degree means a lot.
A further insight comes from an Emeritus Professor called William Ruddiman. His thesis is that humans have been altering the climate for the last 8000 years through land clearing and methane-producing rice growing. Hansen reckons that the effect he describes is real, but somewhat less than Ruddiman thinks. Yet it's a fascinating article (pdf). For our purposes the important point is that Ruddiman finds that the threshold for a new ice age to start building is 245ppm of CO2 corresponding to a temperature about 2C less than the present.
So in that neat little graph you can't just join up the dots of sea level in a more or less straight line. There needs to be a flat section between the temperature values of 13 and 15C. That represents the unusual stability given us as paradise on earth, or at least civilisation as we know it in the last 8000 years or so. A period when Co2 levels didn't stray very far at all from 280ppm.
So coming out of the last ice age each degree in temperature change corresponded to about 30-40m of sea level change. Going forward we can look forward to from 12 to 18 metres for each degree of warming.
Remember the three graphs from the post about the IPCC that linked temperature, greenhouse gases and sea level, with ice sheets thrown in. (Original from NASA)
Temperature and GHGs are conjoined as it were. If one moves so does the other. When temperature moves so does sea level as a cansequence.
I can't do tables so here's five statements that link levels of CO2e and temperatures (referenced to pre-industrial) with sea level rise.
180ppm give a temperature of -5C and a sea level of -120m
280ppm give a temperature of 0C and a sea level of 0m
280-300ppm give a temperature of 1.7 to 2.7C and a sea level of 4-6m
380 (360-400)ppm give a temperature of 2.7 to 3.7C and a sea level of 15 to 35m
425 (350-500)ppm give a temperature of 5.7C and a sea level of 75m
The last three rely on the paleoclimate record going back increasingly into the past, so the uncertainty grows with each one. The last one, for example comes from Hansen. It wasn't long ago that he was saying 500ppm plus or minus 150 for an ice-free world. Either way the lower bound is 350ppm and to be avoided if possible.
The sea levels would take time, but are implied in the nominated levels of CO2.
The implications of sea level rise are very serious.
In Climate Code Red (February 2008) the authors point out that long before Greenland or West Antarctica disintegrate, with 1-2m sea level rise the results would be catastrophic. The authors quote Stern (November 2006):
"currently, more than 200 million people live in coastal floodplains around the world, with two million square kilometres of land and one trillion dollars worth of assets less than one metre elevation above current sea level."
In Climate Code Red they suggest that you can use a sea-rise level overlay such as http://flood.firetree.net/ with Google Earth to see where the water goes.
Many major cities are low lying and are very much in the front line of sea level change.
Some of these assets include American naval installations and indeed major centres. On cities Climate Code Red points out (assuming 20% loss of Greenland - I make that 1.4 metres):
Many of the world's major cities (22 of the top 50) are at risk of flooding from coastal surges, including Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Kolkata, Karachi, Buenos Aires, St Petersburg, New York, Miami and London. In almost every case, the city relies on costly flood defences for protection. Even if protected, these cities would lie below sea level with a residual risk of flooding like New Orleans today.
The 2006 Conference of the International Association of Hydrogeologists heard that rising sea levels will also lead to the inundation by salt water of the aquifers used by cities such as Shanghai, Manila, Jakarta, Bangkok, Kolkata, Mumbai, Karachi, Lagos, Buenos Aires and Lima. "The water supplies of dozens of major cities around the world are at risk from a previously ignored aspect of global warming. Within the next few decades rising sea levels will pollute underground water reserves with salt…
CO2 levels in the atmosphere are now 397ppm
World C02 levels are now at a record high of 387 parts per million (ppm), up almost 40% since the industrial revolution and the highest for at least the last 650,000 years.[1] This could translate to eventual sea level rises in the range of 15 to 35m, which would be catastrophic. So we need to reduce C02 emissions now.

For the weekend let's go with this June 29, 2012 Rose is Rose strip.
These days I suspect we could really use a whole lot of barefoot politicians . . .
In all the time I've been doing these Saturday Comics, I have not repeated one. However, since today is Earth Day, I think this one deserves repeating.
Oops. I forgot to put out a comic yesterday. Well, let's just call this late-Saturday. Very-late-Saturday.
This strip is from August 2, 2004, and features an old stand-by, Red and Rover. Set in the 1960s, Red goes barefoot most of the summer.
If Popsicle Pete gets "popsicle toes", I bet he drives the truck barefoot (which, of course, is completely legal).
Today lets go with a strip from Frank and Ernest, which was started by Bob Thaves and is currently drawn by his son, Tom. This appeared last November 17.
Aside from the comic getting the way to ride a skateboard "anatomically correct", I think by doing so it is showing more "enlightenment" than the author intended.
So, I hope you noticed that, for the first time, today's barefoot Saturday Comic didn't feature anything barefoot.
Actually, from what I can tell, the improved circulation from going barefoot helps prevent blue lines.

The Sex Pistols:There'll Always Be An England
Julien Temple captures last year's Brixton residency
Between November 1975 and January 1978, the Sex Pistols played approximately 130 gigs. Judging by the number of dewy-eyed forty- and fiftysomethings who claim to have witnessed them, each one must have taken place at a packed Wembley Stadium, instead of in front of half a dozen people on the London pub-rock toilet circuit. It's this ongoing desire to say that you've seen the Pistols that accounts for their ability to sell out five nights at the Brixton Academy in November 2007, as documented on this DVD.
Of course, this isn't the first time the Pistols have reformed. Eleven years ago, you could have seen them playing at Finsbury Park in front of 30,000 anarcho-crusties and neo-Nazi Oi! scum who, like Japanese soldiers stranded on remote Pacific islands decades after VJ Day, refused to believe that the punk wars had ended.
What's refreshing about the Brixton residency is the change in atmosphere. No longer even pretending to be seditious, the Sex Pistols are now part of the social glue holding together our fragile notion of Englishness. As they march out onto the stage to the accompaniment of Vera Lynn's "There'll Always Be An England", Union Jack knotted hankies and unapologetic beer bellies ahoy, it's as gleefully patriotic as The Last Night Of The Proms, or an England football international. "Like you, we had a manager called McLaren," announces Lydon. "He was also a cunt."
Julien Temple's film details this good-natured idiocy wonderfully, spending as much screen time documenting the audience as the sub-heavy-metal histrionics of the band. Where Scorsese's audience in Shine A Light seemed to be a specially invited crowd of glamorous young models, here Temple's wandering cameras capture the sheer diversity of Pistols fans today – balding fortysomethings, curious wentysomethings, baffled teens, Japanese tourists, besuited accountants and ageing crusties.
And the band finally seem comfortable with their archetypes – Lydon the pantomime dame, Paul Cook the Dickensian chimney sweep, Steve Jones the unpleasantly priapic career criminal and Glen Matlock the floppy-fringed art-school dropout.
These indentities becomes clearer in the bonus DVD, a film called The Knowledge, where Cook, Jones and Matlock take us on a nostalgic tour around the west London of their childhood, revisiting old Pistols haunts like WWI veterans at Paschendale. Meanwhile Lydon narrates a lengthy bus journey across London, wistfully reporting how his beloved "shithole" has been gentrified, moaning about spectacular modern architecture like City Hall, the London Eye, the Gherkin and the Emirates Stadium ("I kind of agree with Prince Charles on this").
Intercut with some impressive (and often hilarious) vintage footage, you can see it as the third and final –and most good-natured – part of Temple's trilogy of Sex Pistols films.
EXTRAS: The Knowledge, an 80-minute film
of the Pistols' guide to London, also directed by Temple.

What Is Travis Scott's Real Name?
Ovidiu Hrubaru/Shutterstock
By Sara Caskey/June 14, 2022 9:19 am EST
Travis Scott, recording artist, record producer, and spearhead of the annual Astroworld Festival is set to headline his first festival since the Astroworld tragedy in November 2022, which resulted in eight deaths and mass injury (via CNN). The multiple Grammy-nominated performer and "Sicko Mode" artist (via USA Today) will no longer headline Las Vegas' Day N Vegas Festival facing some controversy (via USA Today).
Travis Scott has seen rapid success since 2015 with the release of his first studio album, "Rodeo," which made the Billboard 200 Chart. Two years later, in 2017, Scott created his own label, Cactus Jack Records, and the following year launched Astroworld, an annual music festival in his home city of Houston, Texas (via The Sun). Along with his partner, Kylie Jenner, Scott is no stranger to media scrutiny. But, what the headlines often don't spotlight is the artist's real name, Jacques Berman Webster II (via USA today).
The Origins of his Stage Name
Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images
The Grammy-nominated artist was born in Houston, Texas, in 1991, and named after his father, also Jacques Webster (via The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon). But where does the "Travis Scott" moniker come from?
"My favorite uncle's name is Travis." During a 2015 interview, Scott told Complex, going on to describe him as "smart and cool," an older figure he looks up to. And the rapper's self-given last name, "Scott," comes from one of his musical inspirations, Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi. According to The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Travis Scott's stage name is simply a combination of his "two superheroes." A perfect example of imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Despite the fact that Travis Scott is almost exclusively known by a stage name, his legal name, Jacques Webster II, is apparently still being passed down to his children.
Travis Scott passed down his real last name

When Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's daughter, Stormi Webster, was born in 2017, fans may have questioned the origins of her last name, seemingly unrelated to either of her parents. In actuality, she took her father's real last name, "Webster" (via Harper's Bazaar). As reported by Bustle, "... though Jenner and Scott are not married, Jenner still wanted their daughter to have her father's surname."
In March of 2022, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott celebrated the birth of their second child, who, for the time being, is named Wolf Webster (via Life & Style). However, the pair has plans for this to change. In an interview with Extra, Jenner clarified, "We just haven't fully legally changed it our anything, so I don't want to announce a new name and then change it again." It seems, however, that although their newborn's first name may undergo a transition in the coming months, his last name, "Webster," like his father's, is still fully intact.

Q: Setting response content type header in JSONP request? I have a use case where I make a cross domain JSONP request.
$.ajax({
  url: "http://anyorigin.com/get/?url=<any_website_url>&callback=?'",
  dataType: 'jsonp',
  success: function(data) {
    console.log(data);
}});

It was working fine but I noticed that for Chinese websites data comes garbled. I debugged this and found out that response-header is always set to:
Response Header: Content-Type:text/javascript; charset=ISO-8859-1

Now this charset ISO-8859-1 is creating a problem. It should have been UTF-8. I basically want to always override this charset to UTF-8. I know I can do this using ajax. I tried using the following code -
$.ajax({
  url: "http://anyorigin.com/get/?url=www.google.com&callback=?'",
  dataType: 'jsonp',
  beforeSend: function(xhr) {
    console.log(xhr);
    xhr.overrideMimeType("text/javascript; charset=utf-8");
  },
  success: function(data) {
    console.log(data);
}});

But this did not fix the problem. I am guessing as JSONP request does not use XHR object, this will not work.
Can anyone tell me how I can achieve this or if it is even achievable? TIA.

A: What a jsonp request essentially is is an external javascript file being included using <script> tags. Luckily the <script>-element has a charset attribute which you can set UTF-8. This thus looks something like
<script
  src="http://anyorigin.com/get/?url=<any_website_url>&callback=myCallbackFunction"
  charset="UTF-8"
></script>

where myCallbackFunction has been previously defined and will be called with the requested data. So what you get is
<script>
  window.myCallbackFunction = function(data){
  }
  // Dynamically insert the previously describe <script> tag here.
</script>

It turns out that this is also directly possible on the jQuery.ajax function opts by setting the scriptCharset property.

Only applies when the "script" transport is used (e.g., cross-domain requests with "jsonp" or "script" dataType and "GET" type). Sets the charset attribute on the script tag used in the request. Used when the character set on the local page is not the same as the one on the remote script.

A: You are correct that JSONP does not use the XHR object, it uses a script tag.
However, this can be done through the jQuery JSONP wrapper using the scriptCharset option.
Excerpt from the jQuery.ajax docs:

scriptCharset
Type: String
Only applies when the "script" transport is
  used (e.g., cross-domain requests with "jsonp" or "script" dataType
  and "GET" type). Sets the charset attribute on the script tag used in
  the request. Used when the character set on the local page is not the
  same as the one on the remote script.

All you have to do to get jQuery to add the UTF-8 charset attribute to the JSONP script tag is add scriptCharset: 'UTF-8' to your AJAX settings object.
Example Code:
$.ajax({
  url: "http://anyorigin.com/get/?url=<any_website_url>&callback=?'",
  dataType: 'jsonp',
  scriptCharset: 'UTF-8',
  success: function(data) {
    console.log(data);
}});

Q: bug in gforth.el preventing emacs24 from ppa from installing I'm having trouble installing emacs24 from the repository ppa:cassou/emacs because of an error in gforth.el. The problem is with a known-bug in gforth.el failing on a byte-compile. I'm currently not able to install anything else with apt. There's no bug on the related launchpad site either. I'm guessing apt noticed I have gforth installed and tried to install the matching emacs mode for it, rather than this being a bug all installations run into.
I have a version of gforth.el on a non-Ubuntu machine that works (just removed the byte compile call), but I'm don't know much about the inner-workings of apt to be able to replace the one provided with this new gforth.el.
From the error message below, would anyone know how to have apt use this file instead of the one provided?
Attempts so far
I've found gforth.el at /usr/share/emacs24/site-lisp/gforth/gforth.el and /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gforth/gforth.el. I've replaced both with the working version of the file, but the error message remains the same.

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

A: I think you can temporarily solve the problem by commenting (removing) the following lines in /usr/share/emacs(24)/site-lisp/gforth/gforth.el:
(eval-when-compile
  (byte-compile 'forth-set-word-properties)
  (byte-compile 'forth-next-known-forth-word)
  (byte-compile 'forth-update-properties)
  (byte-compile 'forth-delete-properties)
  (byte-compile 'forth-get-regexp-branch))

I have solved this problem by using this method.

A: I uninstalled the (3) packages with gforth in their name and called "sudo apt-get install -f".
(This can be a workaround and is no solution if you need gforth.)


NEW YORK (AP) — A former executive of a major New York law firm has been convicted on charges he hid the struggling firm's finances before it collapsed in 2012.
Joel Sanders, the former chief financial officer of Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, was found guilty Monday of securities fraud, scheme to defraud and conspiracy.
According to The New York Times (http://nyti.ms/2pVJmpr ), another former executive on trial, Stephen DiCarmine, was acquitted of the charges.
The verdict came 20 months after an earlier criminal case against the firm's most senior executives ended in mistrial.
At its height, the law firm had nearly 3,000 employees around the world. It traced its roots back to the early 1900s. Among its partners was former Manhattan district attorney, New York governor and Republican presidential nominee Thomas E. Dewey.

You can be one of our nearly 100 volunteers if you feel called to share your time with seafarers who are far from home. As a volunteer, you can do ship tours, ground tours for mariners, medical aid, store assistance, and help in administrative duties and special events.


It's certainly decent, but the promise of a veggie burger that isn't mushy was not fulfilled.
This was very delicious! I really enjoyed the texture as it made it feel like a real burger, the only thing I would advise is to make the patty a little thin so it cooks all the way and doesn't take a long time!


Unlike his father, famed actor Alan Ladd, Laddie built his career behind the camera, as a prolific producer, executive and three-time studio chairman. He was known for making risky choices, betting on talent, and resolutely trusting the directors he hired. Laddie also created pioneering opportunities for women and minorities, both on and off-screen, at a time when nobody else did.
LADDIE: THE MAN BEHIND THE MOVIES is about a man who, despite being the child of a movie star, humbly started out in the mailroom and quietly built a name for himself by following his intelligence, intuition, and his lifelong love of movies. In an environment constantly conspiring to make you second-guess yourself, in which you're only as good as your next big hit, Laddie boldly took chances on unknown writers, directors and actors who went on to be celebrated icons, shaping and influencing films and filmmaking for generations to come.
Until now, Laddie has remained virtually invisible, unknown to the millions of fans of the many, many films that never would have existed without his go-ahead, guidance and protection. This documentary changes that—finally shining a heartfelt and inspiring spotlight on this quiet, unassuming powerhouse.
In LADDIE: THE MAN BEHIND THE MOVIES, Amanda Ladd-Jones endeavors to better understand her father—to see him not just as "Dad," the man who spent the majority of her childhood at the office—but the way his collaborators do, as a doyen of modern American cinema.
Interviewees including George Lucas, Ridley Scott, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Affleck, Ron Howard, Morgan Freeman, Mel Brooks, Richard Donner, Lili Fini Zanuck, Producer Jenno Topping, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Cheryl Boone Isaacs, and Laddie himself sit down with Amanda. Together, they offer an inside look at their groundbreaking films, and through their collective lens, we see how Laddie's intelligence, kindness, integrity and unflagging faith in the people he hired made him one of the most successful movie moguls in Hollywood history.

Q: How can I use commas in number inserts so it doesn't break my input fields I have created a calculation form and have been running some A B testing with it, I noticed that many people in a field asking for "Total Donors" will try to put "10,000" instead of 10000.
Is there anyway I can make it so commas can be put in, but then overlooked and unread in JS? So it displays 10,000 to the user, but my script still reads it as 10000. It has to be done on multiple fields, is there a global solution to this?
I don't know enough JS to figure out how to even start attacking this problem. I'd imagine that it would have to be some type of code that computes a string value, then pops the commas inside so it is returned as a number.
The field I am using for an example also adds bonus points to the total based on the number put in. Since the calc form is going to be used by agencies of all sizes we need to add this to level it out so larger companies with more donors have more points to get, as smaller companies are neither penalized for their total score.
total score for small companies: 400
total score for companies where bonus is applies: 420
Bonus totals:
• val < 10001 = + 0
• val >= 10001 and < 25001 = + 10
• val >= 25001 and < 50000 = + 15
• val >= 50000 = + 2

My input looks like this (Split up for readability):
<fieldset class="webform-component-fieldset form-wrapper" id="webform-component-constituent-base">

    <legend>Constituent Base</legend>

    Total Number of constituents in your database

    <input type="text" id="edit-submitted-constituent-base-total-constituents" name="submitted[constituent_base][total_constituents]" value="" size="60" maxlength="128" class="form-text" />

</fieldset>

My calculations for this field
var donorTotal = jQuery("#edit-submitted-constituent-base-total-constituents").val();
    if(donorTotal)
    {
        donorTotal = parseFloat(donorTotal);
    }
    else
    {
        donorTotal = 0;
    }

    grade += getBonusDonorPoints(donorTotal);

    // End total # of donors

Bonus Points Function:
function getBonusDonorPoints(val)
{
    if(val < 10001)
    {
        return 0;
    }
    else if(val >= 10001 && val < 25001)
    {
        return 10;
    }
    else if(val >= 25001 && val < 50000)
    {
        return 15;
    }
    else if(val >= 50000)
    {
        return 20;
    }
}

Thanks for any help you guys can give me in pointing me towards and answer!

A: So replace the comma and make sure you are working with a number and not a string.
Number(jQuery("#edit-submitted-constituent-base-total-constituents").val().replace(/,/g,""));

A: I would attack this problem by removing anything that is not a number. This works great for fields like SSNs, phone numbers, zipcodes, and whatnot and is good for internationalization of these sorts of field.
function justTheNumbers(s) {
  return s.replace(/\D/g, '');
}

Northern Essex Holds Moment of Silence for Orlando Victims
Submitted by on June 27, 2016 – 6:01 pm
The Pride Flag was flown beside the American Flag on Thursday, June 23, as NECC paused for a moment of silence for the Orlando shooting victims.
Under a sunny sky reminiscent of a Florida spring day, faculty, staff, and students on Northern Essex Community College's Haverhill and Lawrence campuses and Quarrybrook Learning Center, paused for a moment of silence on Thursday, June 23, at 3:45 p.m. in support of the Orlando, Florida, shooting victims.
"In the earliest hours of Sunday, June 12, 49 precious lives were ruthlessly stolen from us by a gunman who targeted a gay night club, Pulse, in Orlando, Florida. As the sun began to rise last Sunday morning, we began to learn details of this horrific event," read Brianne McDonough, NECC's program manager of Guided Pathways to Success in STEM. "As more information emerged, we came to understand this tragic incident as a blatant attack on members of the LGBT and Puerto Rican communities celebrating their true selves, with their friends and allies, in recognition of Pride month."
"At this very moment, on our Haverhill and Lawrence campuses, our colleagues are gathered by the flag poles," said Christine DeRosa, program manager, for NECC's Center for Corporate & Community Education.
Vengerflutta Smith, an NECC admissions counselor, stood by the Haverhill Campus flag pole and read, "In solidarity with the Orlando shooting victims, and in support of the LGBT community we raise this Pride Flag. Let this flag be a symbol of our love, support, and inclusion for all individuals in our community."
Noemi Custodia-Lora , executive director of NECC Lawrence campus and community relations, spoke at the Lawrence Campus," May we continue to embrace all that makes us different, learn from one another, and strive to make the world a better place for everyone."
Their remarks were followed by a moment of silence for the individuals who lost their lives and their families who mourn them.
In closing, the speakers left the participants with the words of Nelson Mandela, "Education is the most powerful weapon for which you can use to change the world."

Four safety cars, four hours, and one hell of a race can be taken away from yesterday's Canadian Grand Prix. The Gilles Villeneuve Circuit is one of my favorite's on the calendar because of its nature – never failing to deliver an exciting race. Vettel was on pole and the Ferrari pair were in second and third on the grid, having looked strong all weekend. The McLaren's had struggling in qualifying and simply couldn't match the pace of the top three. They started 5th and 7th. What was naturally meant to take up two hours of our lives went to double that time with many waved flags along the way.
Or the other: No matter how great a driver is, it all comes down to visibility. If a driver cannot see out of his helmet and his rear-view mirrors then conditions are unsafe.
Just recently, the GPDA addressed safety concerns to the FIA. They requested that the FIA not wait for an incident to happen before deploying the SC but rather stop such an incident from taking place by deploying it. For that reason, Charlie Whiting, FIA's Race Director, decided to start under the SC. Drivers do not fear wet conditions because of grip or the ability to race but rather not being able to see racing lines, standing water, and braking points. When all that disappears, accidents happen. Another reason why the race started under the SC: this is the first time the drivers ran on the full wet Pirelli compound and the first time Pirelli ever had to develop it for F1.
"What is he doing?" Jenson screamed into the radio. Hamilton tried to overtake Button on the pit straight but, because Button couldn't see well out of the rear mirrors, the overtake failed and they hit causing Hamilton to retire. If you take a look at the replay, however, you could tell Button knew Hamilton was coming (due to his helmet movement towards the left rear-view mirror). I guess he couldn't judge how close Hamilton was at certain points. While looking at Hamilton's car, the rear-tire puncture looked so severe (because the rim had almost come loose) that the damage looked more like suspension damage than anything else. McLaren radioed in to Hamilton with the suspension news and he parked it. As he emerged from the car, he realized it was just a puncture. Strange.
Drive through penalty for Jenson Button for exceeding speed limits under the SC (Hamilton had also exceeded the speed limit but was already out of the race). Jenson took the penalty immediately – the drive through the pit cost him approximately 20 seconds. As he settled in, his intermediate tires were the way to go – he was flying. On lap 17, Button was a full 4 seconds quicker than the leaders. On lap 18, Di Resta on intermediates had set the fastest first sector of the race – obviously evidence that the track was ready for inters and not wets. Do teams choose to gamble with the wet tires for as long as possible and hopefully go straight to slicks? Or go from wet to inters to slicks? The problem with them is that they drop out of the warm temperature window and are incredibly difficult to warm up. On lap 20, the rain hit hard, the SC was deployed, and Alonso and Button both pit onto wets again.
"From Turn 9 to Turn 13, the track is un-drivable," says Vettel.
The race stood still for an hour and a half shortly after that radio transmission. The race was red flagged on lap 25 due to un-drivable wet conditions and many were confused of the rules and regulations at this point.
With two safety car restarts after the red flag, driver's needed to stay behind the leading car (Vettel) until the first SC line. Once they passed that line, drivers were allowed to pass one another. The first SC line in Canada was the line just before the last chicane onto the start-finish line.
On lap 38, Button and Alonso collided, sending Alonso into a spin and into the barriers. His race was over.
As the final safety car of the day was deployed, Schumacher was sitting in second place. As Vettel restarted, Schumacher tried desperately to keep the distance between them as small as possible. The other problem was Webber's Redbull behind him. At the beginning of a race, DRS is not activated until the first two laps are completed. The same rule applies for restarts. Good for Schumi, DRS was not activated until two laps in. At the same time, all drivers were on slicks and the racing line was the only dry area suitable for dry tires at that time. Any slight lingering onto the damp areas would be deadly. Because of those factors, Schumi was able to hold Webber off for several laps. In no time, Button caught up and was right up the back of Webber, obviously quicker than the pair of them. It was great to see Schumi defending a second place. It took all his fans back to the day they loved most. He still has the drive in him. It's the car that is not delivering as it should. Eventually, DRS was activated and Webber attempted to pass. Schu closed on him nicely and at the same time, Webber lost control slightly in the damp area of the track causing Button to take advantage and jump into third. From then on, Button passed Schu quite easily and so did Webber after that. It could have been the wet conditions and the luck Schu had to place him in second, but whatever it was, Schumacher was back, even if it was brief.
With less than ten laps to go, Button caught up to the back of Vettel but couldn't seem to overtake him. It's easy to fly with no traffic and clean air in front of you. The moment you end up behind a rival, their dirty air will be the only air you'll be able to feed into your car. Because of that, Vettel looked set to hold Button off for the win. He had led almost every single lap of the race and with half a lap to go, made an error into a left hand turn. His slight oversteer gifted Button the lead and the victory – possibly his greatest win ever.
Button is now Vettel's closest rival, trailing him by 61 points.
Next up: Valencia June 26th, 2011.
