1/2/2017: Additional information and links have been added below the original story.
The Department of Homeland Security issued an executive summary yesterday of the U.S. government's findings of Russian malicious cyber activity known as Grizzly Steppe.
Spearphishing targets users specifically, creating the impression that there is a relationship between the victim and the sender. The email may tell the victim that their account has been compromised and that they need to supply passwords or account numbers in order to secure the account.
If you receive an email that looks like it may be from your bank or other financial institution, or from your email provider, and asks for private information: check with the company by calling the 800 number and ask if they would have sent you something so personal. (The answer will be no.) Alternatively, just delete the email immediately, and empty your deleted file. DO NOT click on any attachments or provide any personal information.
Who Were the Targets of the Russian Attacks?
We know that two of the targets were the Democratic National Committee (see article linked above) and John Podesta. On December 30 it was revealed that a Vermont electrical utility had discovered the malicious computer code on a laptop computer owned by the utility. The utility reported that the malware did not affect their servers.
Homeland Security provide the code so information technology professionals can look for it on their own computer resources. Most likely there will be additional targets discovered in the next few weeks.
Homeland Security has provided a list of the servers that the hackers used. Many of these were used without the host's knowledge. Russian Intelligence Services used (and may still be using) other people's networks without their owners' knowledge to hide their malicious activity. The computers at these IP addresses also host legitimate websites and other Internet services.
What Information Did They Steal?
The hackers stole briefing papers, "cheat sheets" (papers containing policy statements on a wide variety of topics, to help political candidates prepare for speaking appearances), emails, and any other documents contained on the victims' networks.
How Was This Information Released?
The hackers used a website called Guccifer 2.0 on Wordpress to release the Democratic National Committee documents. The Podesta emails were released through Wikileaks.
While none of the information contained in the document releases showed signs of illegal activity, they were embarrassing for the Clinton campaign. The timing of the releases corresponded to several important events. The DNC data was leaked the week before the Democratic National Convention, presumably to embarrass Clinton and possibly to keep delegates from supporting her. The Podesta emails were released one hour after the first public airing of an audio tape of Donald Trump on the set of the NBC television show "Access Hollywood" in 2005, in which he made aggressive sexual comments about women, including claims of assaulting women.

CNN breaking news today - "One official told CNN the administration has traced the hack to the specific keyboards -- which featured Cyrillic characters -- that were used to construct the malware code, adding that the equipment leaves 'digital fingerprints' and, in the case of the recent hacks, those prints point to the Russian government."

"Fox & Friends" host Abby Huntsman reported Tuesday (December 27) that fraud in the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) "is at an all-time high." Today, she admitted, "Nationally, food stamp trafficking is on the decline."
Neither of those statements is accurate. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the program, asked Fox to air a correction of their story. The USDA's most recent report on fraud in the program (recipients trading benefits to retailers for cash, usually at a reduced rate) states that the fraud rate for the years 2009 to 2011 is 1.3 percent, up from 1 percent from 2006 to 2008, but down from 4 percent in the 1990's.
The "Fox & Friends" story originally put a $70 million per year price tag on SNAP trafficking. The real figure is $853 million (for a more than $70 billion program, according to USDA data). The rise in fraud is likely due to the expansion of the program.
Huntsman led a panel discussion premised on the idea that food stamp fraud was higher than ever. The question for the panel was "is it time to end the program altogether?" This program provides healthy food for families. As of September 2016, 43.5 million persons were participating in SNAP, according to the USDA. Of those, 21.9 million are children. Participants receive an average benefit of $126.17 per month.
Although trafficking does not increase costs to the Federal Government, it is a diversion of program benefits from their intended purpose of helping low-income families access a nutritious diet. The USDA works aggressively to combat fraud in the program.
"Fox & Friends" did make an effort to correct their story. Neither the show nor the USDA are aware of where and how the incorrect number was arrived at.

Today President Barack Obama ordered the expulsion of 35 Russian suspected spies and ordered two Russian-run compounds (one in Maryland, one in Mew York) closed by noon tomorrow. The actions are in response to Russian cyberhacking in the 2016 presidential election.

According to Labor Secretary Tom Perez, the Trump transition team has broken the law by inquiring into the Energy Department and the State Department.
According to Perez, "Those questions have no place in a transition. That is illegal." Perez discussed the inquiries in an interview with CBS Radio News Friday. The inquiries appear to have violated the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978.
In December Trump's team asked the Energy Department for a list of employees who have worked on climate change issues in President Obama's administration. The agency did not comply with the request.
Democratic senators have called for an investigation into the Trump transition letter to the Energy Department. They told the independent Office of Special Counsel that the letter seems to violate federal laws protecting civil service workers from partisan coercion.

An article in Business Insider from July 2016 alleges that Internet trolls paid by Russia posed as fake Conservatives on social media. Adrien Chen, who now writes for the New Yorker, discovered the trolls while researching a story for the New York Times in 2015.
"'I created this list of Russian trolls when I was researching. And I check on it once in a while, still. And a lot of them have turned into conservative accounts, like fake conservatives. I don't know what's going on, but they're all tweeting about Donald Trump and stuff,' he said."
Chen discovered in 2015 that Russian Internet trolls — paid by the Kremlin to spread false information on the Internet — have been behind a number of 'highly coordinated campaigns' to deceive the American public.
U.S. Intelligence agencies agree that Russian hackers have interfered in the U.S. presidential and Congressional elections, with an aim to push the election toward Donald Trump for president and Republican candidates for Congress in close races. Their report, requested by President Obama, will be released before Inauguration Day, January 20.
Adrien Chen's New York Times article from 2015 about the Internet troll base in Saint Petersburg Russia, can be found here.
The Business Insider article from July 2016 about the trolls disguising themselves as pro-Trump Americans can be found here.
The Defense Minister of Pakistan, apparently responding to a story on a website containing false and inflammatory "news," sent a Tweet reminding Israel that Pakistan has nuclear weapons.
The website with the fake news, www.AWDNews.com, is described by www.MediaBiasFactCheck.com as "a mostly right wing conspiracy site with a preoccupation for world war."
The Israeli Ministry of Defense responded to Mr. Asif on Twitter, explaining that the information about the Israeli threat was false.
The New York Times explains that the fake story about Israel attributed the quotes to a former minister.

It had taken a bit to get settled, but the new Chief Engineer made his way to Engineering as soon as he could. Walking in with a PaDD in his hand, he found a spot out of the way and simply observed… and also began timing how long it took for someone to ask him who he was and why he was here. The answer to that inquiry was far too long.
For several minutes, no one even noticed he was there. When someone did finally acknowledge his presence, it wasn't to ask him anything. They simply smiled and nodded and said "Hello, Lieutenant." and went on about their way. Tor - usually a happy and easy-going individual - began grinding his teeth; a habit that rarely expressed itself except in when was particularly stressed in some form.
After a few more minutes passed and finally he had had enough. The PaDD flew across the area he stood in and slammed into the Viewing Window of the warp core. The resulting BANG echoed throughout the section and brought forth a few startled cries and more than a few expletives. As all eyes turned to look at the source of the sound, Tor stepped forward. His voice a booming echo through the section, the big blue humanoid said "Now that I have your attention. I am Lieutenant Kendric Tor. I am the new Chief Engineer. I am also not happy with what I just saw. Let me be frank. I stood here for over ten minutes and no one approached me and asked me why I was here. That is unacceptable. This is a secured space. It is the brain, heart, lungs, and blood of the ship. We are the first and last section responsible for everything that happens on here. Without us, Sickbay has no medicine. Without us, Security has no phasers. Without us, the Bridge has no helm control. Without us, this crew has no air to breathe or food to eat. So for all of you to simply ignore a big blue figure standing around and watching what you do and you not say anything is beyond my comprehension. Again, this is a secure section. You will treat it as such beginning right. Now." and he looked around and up at the other decks that were visible, making sure his new team was paying attention.
"You have started off 'behind the eight ball', as the old human adage goes. Make sure you internalize that and make every effort to put yourselves in better standing. I am easy to get along with, ladies and gentlemen. As long as you take your jobs as seriously as I take mine. So start doing that, and everything will be fine. You might actually like working for me. But until I see an significant difference from what I just saw… you won't." And he walked over and picked up the PaDD. "All Engineering Watch Officers, report the CE's office immediately. All teams, compile systems status reports and material inventory list current as of right now and send them to me. You have one hour. Let's get to work." and he turned and walked into the barren office.

Brainfuse Tutor Wiki Canadian Education Standards
Canadian, Education, Standards, Alberta
Our Canadian clients expect tutors to be familiar with Canadian education standards. Although much of the content is similar to content taught in the U.S., there are differences in standardized testing and subject terminology that will come up. Click here to find resources for our Canadian students.
Alberta Education: Information for Tutors
In Canada, educational requirements and agendas are the responsibility of each province (the Canadian equivalent of a state). Education in Alberta looks different from other Canadian provinces, as well as America. Although much of the content is similar, there are differences in standardized testing and subject terminology that will come up. This page will familiarize you with some of these differences in order to maximize your tutoring experience and the services you provide to students. We'll look at the structure of the Alberta curriculum as well as test prep to look out for.
>>Curriculum/Structure: Like the United States, K-12 schooling in Alberta is divided into elementary, middle, and high schools. However, in Alberta, elementary is from grades K-6, middle is from grades 7-9, and high school is from grades 10-12
Grades K-9 all study ELA, Math, Social Studies, and Science.
Equal weight is placed on each subject (unlike the U.S.' focus on Math and ELA)
The curriculum is similar to what we would learn in the U.S.—except in Social Studies, students learn about the history, geography, and civics in Canada and Alberta.
Grades 10-12 get a bit more specialized.
In high school, students take courses in sequences from 10à20à30, where 30 represents the highest level in a sequence.
"Math 30" is the highest level of math taken (equates to pre-calculus), and so in grade 12 it replaces "math".
Science gets split into biology, chemistry and physics, depending on the track students take.
Options are available for both Canadian S.S. (civics, history) and global history, depending on student needs.
>>Standardized Testing: Like the U.S., Alberta loves standardized tests. These are the exams students from Alberta will write over the course of their K-12 education.
Type of Test
Test Info
Subjects Tested
Diploma Tests
**Written at the end of 12th grade
**A big deal, comprising 50% of the students' grade in each class.
ELA 30-1 & 30-2 (tests both reading and writing)
Applied Math 30 (graphs, analysis of functions, statistical distributions, matrices)
Pure Math 30 (precalculus, trig, and basic statistics)
S.S. 30-1 & 30-2 (document-based essays and multiple-choice questions)
Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Physics 30
French Language Arts 30
Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs)
**Written in the lower grades, at the end of elementary and middle school.
Grade 3 tests in literacy & numeracy are still in development/beta stage.
Grade 6 tests ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies.
Grade 9 tests ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Content is similar to what a U.S. test would be at that grade level—except keep in mind that S.S. is Canadian-specific.
>>High School Sequence: Explore course descriptions & sequences here by subject (left menu).
ELA 10à20à30
Math 10à20à30
Social Studies 10à20à30
Science 10à20à30
Students analyze a variety of texts (from popular nonfiction to a Shakespeare play) using knowledge of literary/rhetorical devices. They also write their own texts (from personal narratives to literary criticism.
Each level is divided into two courses: version 1 and 2.
University track: ELA 10-1àELA 20-1àELA 30-1.
Basic track: ELA 10-2àELA 20-2àELA 30-2.
You can switch between tracks depending on academic ability.
Students learn algebra, basic geometry, trigonometry, and precalculus.
Math 10 is divided into 2 courses: 10C and 10-3. Math 20 is divided into 20-1, 20-2, and 20-3.
Math 30 is divided into 30-1, 30-2, and 30-3.
The university level track is Math 10-1àMath 20-1àMath 30-1. Math 30-1 is the prerequisite to Math 31, which is Calculus.
The other courses represent the basic/non-university track.
Students learn about the themes of globalization, nationalism, and ideologies (like liberalism) in the context of Canadian history, civics, and global history.
Global history is similar, but students explore Canadian-specific history and civics. For example, Canada's government has a Parliament and an appointed Prime Minister (totally different from the U.S.).
Emphasis is on the analysis of primary and secondary documents, models, and graphic organizers. The diploma and exams are full of these.
Each level is divided into two courses (as with the above subjects). The university level track is S.S. 10-1àS.S. 20-1àS.S 30-1.
A range of options here. Students start from Science 10 (university track) or Science 14 (basic track), exploring biological, chemical, and physical concepts in relation to energy.
Students can then move on to the following tracks:
Science 20àScience 30
Biology 20àBiology 30, Chemistry 20àChemistry 30 Physics 20àPhysics 30
Science 20 & 30 explore a variety of topics: changes to the earth and climate, environmental science& human health.
Bio, Chem, & Physics track content compares to what we learn in the U.S. for these subjects.

Labour Leadership
Swedish Women Sympathetic Toward Soldiers Of Odin
Chris Tomlinson
A Swedish reporter was surprised to find that women are supportive of the Soldiers of Odin group, saying they make the streets safer.
This past Sunday saw a brawl in Gothenburg that left one of the members of the "Soldiers of Odin" vigilante group hospitalized. Although he wasn't there during the brawl, a reporter from Swedish paper Goteburgs-Posten decided to interview people on the street to get their impressions of the group a few hours earlier.
Reporter Joakim Lamotte described the vigilantes saying, " they said that it had been quiet. However, it felt as if it was just a matter of time before someone would be provoked by them. They attract glances. There are many of them, tall guys with badges on their back, one of them had a fighting dog with them, some were masked. It's what paved the way for the fight."
The women Lamotte met had a very different opinion of the group than media, who have routinely condemned them for stoking up tensions with migrants. He said, "many people, especially girls, I talked to thought that what they do is good. Girls are terrified when they go out in the evenings. Soldiers of Odin may not be the right people to provide security, but some think it is good that someone is at least doing something."
What angered the reporter more than the Soldiers of Odin was the fact that many women in Sweden no longer feel safe to walk the streets at night. "I get really angry when I think about it. These girls can not go out to the pub without being groped, they go with their key between their knuckles when they go out by themselves and have 112 programmed into their phone.
"When we read about daily rapes and girls are terrified to move out, then society has not taken responsibility. If it continues, we will see many more vigilantes," he told the paper.
The Soldiers of Odin originated in Finland back in February as a response to safety concerns for women in the wake of the Cologne New Years sex attacks and the wave of migrant sexual assaults ever since.
The group has spread to other Scandinavian countries and has gained a rapid following with members in multiple cities carrying out regular patrols of streets in the evenings. The Finnish government accused the Soldiers of Odin of making the streets in Finland less safe saying, "there are extremist features to carrying out street patrols. It does not increase security."
Finnish media have also reported on the group's alleged ties to neo-Nazism saying that the 29 year-old founder Mika Ranta openly admits to being a neo-Nazi, but he has said that his personal beliefs and ideology have little to do with the patrols. Ranta was convicted of a racially aggravated attacks back in 2005 and is a member of the openly national socialist Finnish Resistance movement.

Ban Ki-moon: It is time to engage in "serious negotiations" to settle Western Sahara conflict
Washington, April 19, 2016 (SPS) -The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon affirmed Tuesday that "it is time to engage in serious negotiations" leading to the self-determination of the Western Sahara people.
"It is time to engage in serious negotiations without pre-conditions and in good faith in order to reach a mutually acceptable political solution, which will provide for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara," the UN SG stressed in the recommendations of this periodic report on Western Sahara, of which APS obtained a copy.
The report, sent to the UN Security Council, will be examined on 27 April, according to a UN source.
Ban reaffirmed that the political solution must include the resolution of Western Sahara, regretting the blocking of the political process that started in 2007 and could not culminate in genuine solutions.
The fundamental difficulty that hindered this process lies in the fact that Morocco has always and unilaterally "considered its autonomy plan as the unique basis for negotiations," he stated.
The UN SG recalled that the MINURSO had been created by the Security Council to monitor the ceasefire and hold a self-determination referendum but the expulsion of its civilian component by Morocco hampered the peacekeeping mission.
The Mission's inability to fulfill its mission will lead, in the short and medium terms, significant consequences on stability in the region and the credibility of the peacekeeping operation of the UN Security Council, warned Ban who expressed "his deep concern" over the security situation in the occupied territories.
"Security in these territories may deteriorate with this crisis that has strongly impacted the ceasefire monitoring mission of the MINURSO," Ban said.
He also called on the Security Council to renew MINURSO's mandate for an additional period of one year until April 30, 2017.
"The risk of a rupture of the ceasefire and a resumption of hostilities, with its attendant danger of escalation into full-scale war, will grow significantly in the event that MINURSO is forced to depart from the occupied territories," he warned. (SPS)

The Aqua Sphere Eagle Goggles take underwater clarity to soaring heights with their revolutionary interchangeable optic lenses. No longer do you have to make-do with goggles that somewhat match your prescription eyewear needs. Find your perfect combination by mixing and matching the unbeatable lens clarity of the Eagle Goggles.
The Aqua Sphere Eagle Goggle offers its users the option of interchangeable optic lenses. This means that even if you rely on contacts or glasses for 20/20 sight out of the water, you can have the same clarity while in the pool. While this pair comes standard with non-prescriptive lenses, Aqua Sphere offers Eagle Optics Goggle Corrective Lenses for a seamless transition into perfect underwater sight. The Optics lenses come in a wide range of degrees and can be mixed and matched to fit the varying degrees in each eye. If you've ever relied on other prescription goggles, such as the Barracuda H2Rx, to see assist your eyesight in the water, you know how important it is to find a goggle that fits your existing eyewear needs to a T. Even if you don't require corrective lenses to see clearly, you will love how crisp your vision will be with the Eagle Goggles in tow.
While the number one thing that stands out about the Eagle Goggle is their impeccable clarity, it's not just the precision that makes the Aqua Spheres a highly rated pair. Not only do the lenses offer both UVA and UVB protection, but the polycarbonate lenses are also highly durable and treated to be the utmost resistant to scratches as well as fogging. The Eagle Goggle is simple and clean and perfect for any level of swimmer. Store these highly coveted goggles in the made-to-fit Aqua Sphere Goggle case to prevent any kind of damage to your eyewear while not in use.
Other than the outstanding lenses, these goggles are easy to fit to any face and head shape. The one-piece construction bends to fit the curves around the eyes and proves to be leak-proof in most any condition. The hypoallergenic silicone skirt and head strap are designed for long lasting comfort. And since these goggles were specifically designed with fitness swimmers in mind, the easy-adjust buckle system is ideal for swimmers who don't have time to slow down to find the perfect fit.
The testers in the Aqua Gear pool loved how user friendly these goggles were. They scored high because of their simple adjustment design. But, most importantly, they stood out because of their incredibly clear vision not only above but also below the water's surface.
If you're looking for a goggle that will make your path to the finish line as clear as possible, look no further than the simple and clean design of the Aqua Sphere Eagle Goggle to do the job for you.
Best goggles with reasonably priced prescription lenses. I carry these when I travel, so they are used occasionally. The pair I am using are at least 5 years old and still good.
Bought these goggles to replace my older Eagle Swim goggles. The sight clarity and peripheral vision capability was just amazing! Maybe Eagle Eye Swim Goggles would be a more appropriate name. These goggles rock!
I have never found a better pair of goggles. All I have used for last 10 years. Sturdy. No leak. Great product.
I love these goggles and the price was great ! I actually order the prescription lens in these incredible goggles too. Very high quality goggles at a fraction the price of other places I ordered these from. I had the Blue framed ones before and I ordered 4 clear goggles this time . You can not go wrong with either color.
I have used these goggles for years--they literally last for years, swimming 5 hours a week! Plus I use the optical lenses and don't have to buy them each time the strap wears out.

Ice cubes banned from Disney parks!
After May 1st, no Cast Member can wish you "Have an ice day!" ANAHEIM, CA and LAKE BUENA VISTA, FL — In a surprising statement, Disney has announced that ice cubes and dry ice will no longer be allowed in their theme parks. The news was buried in a much larger press release about limits on stroller size, and announcing that the parks would become entirely smoke free. No more cold beverages?

The new policy consolidates all the smoking areas formerly within the parks into one giant smoking area just in front of each park's entrance.

Who Is Bobby Flay Dating Now?
Leave a Comment / Celebrity / By Diana Sutton
Who Is Bobby Flay Dating: Robert William Flay, an American celebrity chef, restaurateur, and reality television personality, was born on December 10, 1964. Bobby's Burger Palace, Bobby's Burgers, and Amalfi are just a few of Flay's restaurants and franchises, and she serves as head chef.

Who Is Christina Perez?
What Is Bobby Flay Net Worth?
How Did Bobby Flay Start His Career?
Bill and Dorothy Barbara (McGuirk) Flay welcomed Flay into the world on December 10, 1964, in New York City. He was born and reared in Manhattan's Upper East Side. He is an Irish American of the fourth generation who was raised Catholic and educated in institutions of a particular faith.
Flay requested an Easy-Bake Oven for Christmas when he was eight years old. His father believed that a G.I. Joe would be more suitable. He accepted them both despite his father's protests.

In the year 2020, Christina and Bobby came into contact for the first time. Mutual friends introduced these two lovebirds to one another. They just clicked right away. These two seem to be destined for one another.
In November 2021, Perez and the Boy, Meet Grill star made their first public appearance at the Breeders' Cup World Championship. The chef's horse, Pizza Bianca, was leading the race.
Apparently, winning the Breeders' Cup Race is a dream come true, but sharing it with your family, my kid, my fiancée, and my business partner is even better, according to Page Six. Today, I have all the people I adore here to support Pizza Bianca and me.
The age difference between Bobby and Christina is a total of 17 years. Flay is 57 years old, and his lover Perez is 40, but they are right when they declare that "real love knows no age, no distance, and no restrictions." Its primary purpose is to unite mankind in an era known as everlasting.
Cristina Perez, an American actress, television personality, writer, and TV judge, was born on October 27, 1964. She was raised in California by parents of Colombian ancestry after being held in New York City. She graduated from UCLA with two BAs and Whittier Law School with a JD.
The Telemundo network's La Corte del Pueblo (1999–2000) and La Corte de Familia (2000–2005) are where Perez gained the majority of his notoriety as a judge. Simon & Schuster released Perez's book Living by Los Dichos: Advice from a Mother to a Daughter in September 2006.
It's All About the Woman Who Wears It: 10 Laws for Being Smart, Successful, and Sexy Too, Perez's second book, was published by Penguin Books in March 2010.
His net worth is roughly $60 million, as we have already stated. He has a very successful restaurant. Although his restaurant company accounts for a sizable portion of his income, you might be surprised to learn that his earnings from TV appearances exceed those from his culinary endeavors.
Flay left secondary school at the age of 17. He has claimed that Baskin-Robbins and a pizza parlor were the locations of his first jobs in the restaurant business. His father was a partner at Joe Allen Restaurant in Manhattan's Theater District, so he applied and got a job cooking salads there. Because of Flay's innate talent, the owner, Joe Allen, decided to cover his partner's son's tuition at the French Culinary Institute.
Flay graduated from the French Culinary Institute's inaugural graduating class in 1984 with a degree in culinary arts. He learned the culinary arts rapidly after graduating from culinary school by working as a sous-chef. After a week, the executive chef of the Brighton Grill on Third Avenue was let go, and Flay was given the role.

When Flay realized he wasn't ready to manage a kitchen, he resigned. He accepted a position as a chef at Jonathan Waxman's restaurant, Bud and Jams. Flay's introduction to southwestern and Cajun cuisine through Waxman helped him shape his career as a chef.
Flay returned to the kitchen as the chief chef at Miracle Grill in the East Village, where he worked from 1988 to 1990, following a brief stint on the floor at the American Stock Exchange.
Jerome Kretchmer, a restaurant owner looking for a cook in the southwest style, took notice of him. Kretchmer offered Flay the role of executive chef at Mesa Grill, which opened on January 15, 1991, after being impressed by his cuisine. He soon joined us as a partner. A few steps from Mesa Grill in the Flatiron District, Flay and Laurence Kretchmer founded Bolo Bar & Restaurant in November 1993.

River Ave. Blues » Saturday Links: Rotation, Prospects, YES Network, Sabathia
Saturday Links: Rotation, Prospects, YES Network, Sabathia
October 20, 2018 by Mike
DotF: Estrada returns to game action in Arizona Fall League
A CC Solution
Not counting the two Wild Card Games, there will be at least one winner-take-all game this postseason. The Brewers and Dodgers will play Game Seven of the NLCS later tonight. The loser goes home and the winner moves on to (probably) lose to the Red Sox in the World Series. Anyway, here are some links to check out on this Saturday.
Cashman says rotation will be a "focus point"
To the surprise of no one, Brian Cashman said during a recent radio interview that the starting rotation will be a "focus point" this offseason. "We're excited about adding to our rotation, it's going to be a focus point for us. There's going to be a lot of competition regardless of the available players out there, but we need to continue to reinforce the rotation," said Cashman on Mike Francesa's show.
The Yankees begin their annual pro scouting meetings Monday — "We're still in the infancy stage. We'll be in a much better place to make recommendations to ownership (after the meetings)," Cashman said — at which point they'll discuss everything. Strengths, weaknesses, targets, the budget, etc. With Sonny Gray likely a goner, Luis Severino and Masahiro Tanaka are the only returning starters at the moment. Some heavy lifting will have to be done with the rotation this winter.
Yankees shut out in top FSL, Sally League prospect lists
Baseball America's annual series looking at the top 20 prospects in each minor league has continued this month, and the Yankees were shut out in both the High-A Florida State League (subs. req'd) and Low-A South Athletic League (subs. req'd) lists. Huh. Here's what Josh Norris (subs. req'd) said about OF Estevan Florial in the FSL chat:
Florial qualified for the league, but it was pretty much a lost year for him. He obviously missed a bit of time with the hamate injury, and he didn't have a whole lot of time otherwise to show he'd improved significantly in the necessary areas, namely strike-zone discipline. The Yankees are still confident in him based on what they see on their internal metrics, and evaluators said he made some subtle strides defensively, but it was too deep a league to put him on the 20 with the disjointed season he had.
Florial hit .255/.354/.361 (110 wRC+) with 25.7% strikeouts and 13.0% walks in 75 High-A games around the wrist surgery this year. He was, by far, the best prospect on the High-A Tampa roster once RHP Freicer Perez got hurt. As for the Sally League, J.J. Cooper (subs. req'd) took no Yankees questions in the chat, and Low-A Charleston's best prospect this year was 3B Dermis Garcia. RHP Deivi Garcia didn't throw enough innings to qualify for the top 20 list at any level this season, so he's getting lost in the rankings this year. Seems to happen with someone every year.
Yankees will buy back the YES Network
According to Barry Bloom, the Yankees intend to buy back controlling interest in the YES Network. The Yankees sold 80% of the YES Network to 21st Century FOX in separate transactions from 2014-16. The network was valued at $3.8 billion at the time and surely that number has only gone up. Bloom reports the Yankees will get no discount. They have to pay fair market value to regain controlling interest.
The sale of FOX properties to Disney for $71.3 billion will be completed next year, and, as part of the deal, FOX must divest itself of the various regional sports networks included in the transaction. The YES Network is one of them. I assume this means we'll no longer be able to stream the YES Network on the FOX Sports Go app. That'd be a bummer. Hopefully there will be a replacement in-market streaming option for the Yankees. Aside from that, I don't think the sale will change much for consumers.
Sabathia nominated for Marvin Miller Man of the Year
Earlier this month the MLB Players Association announced each teams' nominee for the 2018 Marvin Miller Man of the Year Award. The award is giving annually to the player "whose on-field performance and contributions to his community inspire others to higher levels of achievement." CC Sabathia has been selected as the Yankees' nominee. Here are all 30 nominees.
The Marvin Miller Man of the Year award is selected through a player vote and three finalists will be announced in the coming weeks. Mariano Rivera is the only Yankee to win the award. He won it in 2013. Anthony Rizzo won it last year. Sabathia does a ton in the community — he is also the team's nominee for the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award — and deserves the Marvin Miller Man of the Year award as much as anyone in baseball. Hopefully the big man pulls down an award in recognition of all that he does in the community.

Confucius Institute Scholarship in China 2021
Good news! Confucius Institute Scholarship is currently open. Confucius Institute Scholarship 2021 is a fully funded scholarship for international students.

Pauline Marois' Offensive

Élégant, by Jean Dallaire (1916-1965)

The Offensive
I was delighted that so many of you read my last post and left a "like." The tax I wrote about is mostly trivial, but it is a step in the wrong direction. Moreover, in an article posted below, Madame Marois claims that separation from Canada is an emergency, which is another step in the wrong direction. She bemoans the fact Quebecers have "two levels of government" and states that the solution is independence from Canada. Allow me to quote Madame Marois:
'We are on the offensive:' Pauline Marois claims Quebec sovereignty is an 'emergency' (news.nationalpost.com)
"Marois told a weekend meeting of Parti Quebecois delegates that it is "very important to explain" the benefits of making Quebec a country, which include the province making its own decisions and ending the duplication of two levels of government." (Feb. 11, 2013)
To my knowledge, it happened the other way around. Quebec, not Canada, created a government within a government (i.e. a factious government). For instance, Quebec failed to sign the patriated constitution (1982). That gesture alone can serve as proof that the government of Quebec had initiated a separation from Canada and had done so without first obtaining from the people of Quebec a mandate allowing it to start negotiating the terms of a new relationship with Ottawa. There had been a referendum, but indépendantistes had not obtained sufficient votes. So, in 1982, the government of Quebec acted as if Quebec had separated from Canada, when such was not the case.
Ironically, in the 1960s, at the time the Quiet Revolution took place, Quebecers were lulled into thinking they would inhabit a welfare state, but they are now paying taxes to "two levels of government" because its own government put the cart before the horse. It acted prematurely. Moreover, because Quebec did not sign the patriated Constitution, there are limitations on the validity of Quebec's health-insurance card. When I lived outside Quebec, my health-insurance card was valid from coast to coast.
French Canadians are victims of 'soft ethnocide' by Ottawa, PQ-funded study claims (news.nationalpost.com)
"The latest outbreak of separatist grievance-mongering comes in the form of a new PQ-funded report that claims Ottawa is allowing Anglophone provinces to commit "soft ethnocide" on French speakers around the country. "We're reminding people of the evolution of Canada when we systematically eliminated French at the start of the 20th century," said the lead author this week." (Feb. 5, 2013)
The School Problem
Regarding the "soft ethnocide" Madame Marois is imputing to Ottawa, need I remind Quebec's Premier that, traditionally, it has been difficult for French-speaking Canadians to separate language from religion. They had been taught that language and religion were inextricably linked. So the reason why French-speaking Canadians living outside Quebec could not receive an education in French has little to do with resistance on the part of English-speaking Canadians and Ottawa. It has to do with the fact that provincial governments do not fund denominational schools. Such schools are private schools.
I saw my very own father rebuked and labelled a "communist," because it was acceptable to him to separate language and religion, or faith and state. Fortunately, matters changed when Pierre Elliott Trudeau became Prime Minister. It is now possible for French-speaking Canadians to be educated in French outside Quebec and English-speaking students are eager to enter French-immersion programs. In other words, there is no "soft ethnocide" of French-speaking Canadians residing outside Quebec, at least not yet. But there may be an ethnocide if Quebec continues to act recklessly.
Tuition-free education
Let me address this matter once again. In Quebec, beginning with the Quiet Revolution, the government wanted to give students whose parents had not attended a university a chance to do so. Students were therefore spared a measure of screening. It is relatively easy for Quebec students to enter university. Besides, their tuition fees are half the amount Canadian students pay outside Quebec. The Quebec government cannot afford what the Parti Québécois peddled so Madame Marois would defeat Jean Charest's federalist government. If a referendum were called in the near future, students would not support indépendance. As for other Québécois and Quebeckers, especially the elderly, they would remember that they are footing the bill so fees paid by students would not rise. Someone has to foot the bill and, among those who do, too many are living below the poverty line.
The Quiet Revolution took place fifty years ago. May I suggest therefore that the time may have come for Quebec universities to put into place more selective entrance requirements. May I also suggest that it is entirely possible for intelligent and hard-working students to obtain a university degree even if their parents have not attended a university.
My father is an intellectual, but my parents did not attend university. Yet, on the basis of an entrance examination, I earned myself a free education. Furthermore, when I entered graduate school, I did so at the doctoral level and by invitation. In my opinion, if a student's performance warrants financial help, financial help should be available, as it was for me.
About Quebec universities
I took courses in musicology at a Quebec English-language university. The department of music had three full-time professors and twenty-two chargés de cours (part-time teachers). It needed part-time teachers because students were learning to play different instruments, but three vs twenty-two seemed too wide a discrepancy. Besides, other departments also hired more part-time teachers than full-time teachers. As a result, many Quebec university teachers have left Quebec and teach in other provinces. That is a loss for Quebec. In fact that is not-so-soft ethnocide perpetrated by the Quebec government.
It seems to me that in the interest of peace, growth, and the pursuit of happiness, Madame Marois and her Parti Québécois, should revisit their decision to separate from Canada. In particularly, they should assign members of the Office québécois de la langue française, OQLF to more positive tasks. The time has come for a more significant number of Québécois to speak their language correctly. Québécois do have a territory and that territory is their culture. Asking restaurant owners to replace WC by toilettes on the door to a restaurant's facilities is petty in the utmost and it threatens French-speaking Canadians living outside Quebec.
For forty years, I lived in complete harmony with my English-speaking neighbours as well as my English-speaking colleagues. Yes, I was overworked, which put a premature end to my career as a university teacher, but no one ever forced me to speak English or got upset if I used French words. On the contrary!
Moreover, the time has also come for Québécois to be taught the history of their country. They need to know that French-speaking Canadians were not harmed by Britain. In 1763, France could no longer afford New France so it chose to retain Guadeloupe as a colony rather than New France. However, under the new régime, French-speaking Canadians kept their farms, seigneuries, religion and their language. Moreover, in 1774, the Quebec Act put French-speaking Canadians on the same footing as English-speaking Canadians.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with living in a bilingual or trilingual country. But it is very wrong to foment dissent and unnecessary conflicts. Madame Marois is calling for an offensive, but I am calling for all Canadians to respect one another. I am calling for peace, growth and the pursuit of happiness.

Comments on the Quebec General Election

the Quebec General Election: Information
The Charter of the French Language (La Charte de la langue française, Bill 101) "is a law in the Province of Quebec, Canada, defining French, as the official language and framing fundamental language rights. It is the central legislative piece in Quebec's language policy." (Wikipedia)
Bill 101 was passed by the National Assembly and granted Royal Assent by Lieutenant Governor Hugues Lapointe on August 26, 1977, under the government of Premier René Lévesque, the leader of the Parti Québécois. The bill was proposed by Camille Laurin, the Minister of Cultural Development.
Bill 101 had been preceded by the Official Language Act (Bill 22), passed in 1974 under the Liberal government of Premier Robert Bourassa. Bill 101 (1977) has been challenged and too rigid an interpretation can lead to dangerous situations.
When friends and I were trying to cross the Champlain bridge to leave Montreal, an island, the overhead traffic monitors gave information and instructions in French only. I told my friends that the information should be given in both French and English to protect all drivers, including French-speaking drivers.
Bill 101 also stipulates that the children of immigrants be educated in French, etc. For more information click on the Charter of the French Language. My main source of information in writing this post was Wikipedia's entry of the Charter of the French Language.
However, yesterday, as reported in Le Devoir, Jean Charest stated he might expand Bill 101. Expansion could mean constructive amendments to the current law, but not necessarily. However, during a political campaign, leaders often attempt to win over support from undecided voters by making promises they cannot respect once they are in office. I could be wrong, but I believe monsieur Charest did not need to raise the issue, if indeed he raised it. He may have been compelled to address this subject.
The Canada Act of 1982
Moreover, Quebec has yet to sign the "patriated" (from England to Canada)Constitution of Canada or the Canada Act of 1982. One wonders. What is the status of Quebec? Might it be, to some extent, more closely linked to Britain than other provinces? I am being slightly facetious, but not altogether.
I would hate to see French Canadians swallowed up by an English-language majority, but choosing the appropriate means to protect the French language is a thorny matter. Language policy remains a central issue in the forthcoming election.

Current Events & the Crusades

Kneeling Knight (History)
This Morning's News
First thing this morning, I listened to the News on Radio-Canada, the French-language CBC. The news was not pleasant. I heard that lawyers and jurists were now protesting against Bill 78, a law deemed a violation of our cherished freedom of speech. It had turned into a Crusade.
The Crusades
The Crusades were "God's war" (Christopher Tyerman),[i] but wait a minute. As David Hume wrote, the Crusades are
the most signal and most durable monument of human folly that has yet appeared in any age or nation.[ii]
"The Lord is a man of war." (Exodus 15:3)
First, the time may have come to take God out of the Crusades. The Crusades were a human endeavour. Second, if one takes the view expressed by David Hume, one might come to the conclusion that the last hundred days have been an "assault on reason," (Al Gore), were it not that the students were manipulated into breaking a lot of rules and, at times, laws, existing laws, not Law 78. There have been several arrests, which is regrettable.
I believe the lawyers and jurists will soon return to their offices and comfy homes or run the risk of looking ridiculous. Nothing worse could happen to them.
Let us see what the papers and the television have to offer of this subject.

Jean Charest, Premier of the Province of Quebec
Matters have not improved significantly in the student's strike. People are still demonstrating as the Premier tries to introduce a law: Bill 78, that would put an end to the disorder.
Le Devoir.com is a very good source of information, but it's a French-language paper. It calls for an end to the demonstrations, called manifestations in French: Assez! Enough!
Telling this story is difficult because matters keep changing and reports differ.

I am in the process of writing the history of Confederation or Constitution, or BNA Act (British North America Acts, starting in 1867) in blog form. It cannot be done in one post. The Constitution was patriated (brought to Canada from England) in 1982, but Quebec did not sign it.
The discussion starts with the Monroe Doctrine or Manifest Destiny. We then go back to the descendants of our voyageurs and their leader Louis Riel. The big story is building the railroad: the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Completing the Railway before 1867 was impossible because it had to go through several ranges of mountains, but a promise sufficed.

Current Events in Quebec
For those of you who wish to keep up with current events in Quebec, I am listing a number of links.
Yesterday (May 16), the students were prevented from re-entering the classroom by unsavoury and potentially dangerous groups: gangs.
Given the threat to the students and to their teachers, the Quebec Government has ordered an end to the tuition strike. There was violence between 1960 and 1970, so the presence of gangs preventing the students from attending their classes has to be taken very seriously.
I saw Madame Marois on television. She was asking the premier to act as a "good father" (the « bon père » notion of the Quebec Code civil fr/ Civil Code en) to the students and sit with them. I am hearing the word "negotiations." To what extent should a Premier negotiate? Madame Marois spoke about attentive mothers who talk with their children, etc.
As a bon père, monsieur Charest is putting an end to the academic year and to the strike. I believe monsieur Charest will ask the population to decide: a referendum of some kind.

This morning I found a long list of comments most of which were identical except that they referred to a number of posts. I deleted these comments, thirty-two, to be precise. The person(s) who had written the comments was/were telling me that the comments I was receiving from other readers looked as though they came from brain-dead individuals. Many of my readers are learning English. There are errors and some contain "buzz" words , etc.
But, having taught French to persons who had a scanty knowledge of French, I learned to let them complete their sentences whenever possible. If I had corrected them in mid-sentence, they may not have dared speak again, but I dealt with errors the next day, not attaching the mistake to one person.
I will have to erase comments from my long list because there are too many, but I will not erase comments because they have been written by persons who have not mastered the English language.
Derogatory comments about comments written in imperfect English will be deleted permanently the moment they reach me. As well, if a comment contains URLs, it will be either deleted or edited.
In short, I will not publish comments that are offensive to other readers. My readers will be treated with the respect due every human being.

03 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF ALASKA:
04    * Section 1. Article VI, sec. 8, Constitution of the State of Alaska, is amended to read:
05            Section 8. Redistricting Board. (a) There shall be a redistricting board. It

16       second largest number of affiliated voters registered in the State selected in a
01       manner prescribed by that party's bylaws; and
02                 (3)  one member who is not affiliated with a political party and who
03       has not been affiliated with a political party within the preceding ten years.
04            (b)  Members of the Redistricting Board serving under (a) of this section
05       shall be selected as provided in (e) of this section [APPOINTED IN THE YEAR IN
06       WHICH AN OFFICIAL DECENNIAL CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES IS
07       TAKEN AND BY SEPTEMBER 1 OF THAT YEAR. THE GOVERNOR SHALL
08       APPOINT TWO MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. THE PRESIDING OFFICER OF
09       THE SENATE, THE PRESIDING OFFICER OF THE HOUSE OF
10       REPRESENTATIVES, AND THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT

16            (c)  Board members serve until a final plan for redistricting and proclamation
17       of redistricting has been adopted and all challenges to it brought under Section 11 of
18       this article have been resolved after final remand or affirmation.
19            (d) [(c)]  A person who was a member of the Redistricting Board at any time

21       this article may not be a candidate for the legislature until after the next decennial
22       census of the United States and another Redistricting Board has adopted a [IN
23       THE GENERAL ELECTION FOLLOWING THE ADOPTION OF THE] final
24       redistricting plan.
25    * Sec. 2. Article VI, sec. 8, Constitution of the State of Alaska, is amended by adding a new
26 subsection to read:
27            (e)  The six members of the Redistricting Board selected under (a)(1) and (2)
28       of this section shall, by majority vote, not later than December 1 of the year in which a
29       decennial census of the United States is taken, select the seventh member of the board.
30       If the seventh member has not been selected by December 1 or if the six members of
31       the board notify the Supreme Court before December 1 that they are unable to agree
01       on a seventh member, the authority of the six members to select the seventh member is
02       withdrawn, and the seventh member shall be selected by the chief justice of the
03       supreme court unless, under a code of judicial conduct adopted by the supreme court,
04       the supreme court determines that selecting the seventh member creates a conflict of
05       interest for the chief justice, in which case the court shall choose another justice to
06       select the seventh member. The chief justice, or the alternate justice selected by the
07       court, shall select an individual that the justice determines is nonpartisan and not more
08       likely to philosophically side with members appointed by either of the largest two
09       political parties. The justice shall make the appointment as soon as practicable, but not
10       later than December 15.
11    * Sec. 3. Article VI, sec. 9, Constitution of the State of Alaska, is amended to read:
12            Section 9. Board Actions. The board shall elect one of its members chairman
13       and may employ temporary assistants. Concurrence of five [THREE] members of the
14       Redistricting Board is required for actions of the Board, but a lesser number may
15       conduct hearings. The board shall employ or contract for services of independent legal
16       counsel.
17    * Sec. 4. Article VI, sec. 10(b), Constitution of the State of Alaska, is amended to read:
18            (b)  Adoption of a final redistricting plan shall require the affirmative votes of

Movement-Building Politics: Pramila Jayapal and Chase Iron Eyes
At the Laura Flanders Show, we say we talk with "tomorrow's heroes today." One of those could well be forward-thinker Pramila Jayapal, Washington State Senator, now running for Congress. If elected, Jayapal be the first south Asian woman in the House of Representatives. Jayapal describes herself as a "proud immigrant from India." She founded Hate Free Zone (now OneAmerica) in response to hate and discrimination after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack and played a big role in the push for a $15 minimum wage. Hear how Islamophobic racism, has shaped her campaign and why she believes politicians must address institutional racism head-on. Pramila Jayapal is running for Washington, U.S. House of Representatives, District 7.
Also running for Congress is Chase Iron Eyes, a populist candidate for indigenous voters and a leading organizer for the #NoDAPL fight. We talk with Iron Eyes about lifting up in the face of oppression. Chase Iron Eyes is a Native activist and attorney, and a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.
All this, and Laura's F Word on opening highways not gates.

Summary, etc.: Audrey Rose Wadsworth and her partner-in-crime-investigation, Thomas Cresswell, are en route to New York to help solve another blood-soaked mystery. Embarking on a week-long voyage across the Atlantic on the opulent RMS Etruria, they're delighted to discover a traveling troupe of circus performers, fortune tellers, and a certain charismatic young escape artist entertaining the first-class passengers nightly. But then, privileged young women begin to go missing without explanation, and a series of brutal slayings shocks the entire ship.
