Fowler Looking To Future
Outfielder eager to improve, find place with team
By Tracy Ringolsby, Rocky Mountain News
Originally published 12:45 a.m., March 1, 2008Updated 02:03 a.m., March 1, 2008
Ubaldo Jimenez pitched two innings against the Mexican National All-Stars, allowing no runs and striking out two.
Dexter Fowler could eventually become the Rockies' tribute to Larry Walker.
In the dark days of the franchise, when the Rockies were unloading salary and talking about building a foundation with an emphasis on developing their own talent, the skeptics moaned about the lack of commitment to winning.
Now, the fans are starting realize that it wasn't all corporate speak. There was a method to what at the time seemed like management madness.
For instant gratification, there was last year's late-season surge that resulted in the first National League pennant in franchise history. The key to the plan the Rockies have undertaken isn't last year or this year, though, but the next decade, and that's where the Dexter Fowlers of the world fit in.
Fowler came out of Milton High School in Alpharetta, Ga., back in June 2004 with a list of options that included playing basketball at Harvard or baseball at the University of Miami, Fla., or signing with the Rockies, who gambled and selected him in the 14th round of the baseball draft.
Fowler was, after all, considered a first- or second-round-
caliber prospect. When he didn't go early in the draft, teams shied away because they knew with his options he wasn't going to sign cheap.The gamble paid off for the Rockies, but it took awhile.
Fowler had packed his bags for college. He was three days away from heading to Miami when the Rockies finally agreed to a $925,000 signing bonus and got his name on a contract - 11 days after the Aug. 6, 2004, trade of Walker to St. Louis. The timing was no coincidence. Money saved on Walker's salary for the final two months of that season was allotted for scouting director Bill Schmidt to sign Fowler.
This spring, the Rockies, major league staff and spring training fans are getting an early glimpse of the evolution of the 6-foot-4, 175-pound center fielder with star potential.
He has yet to play a professional game above the Single-A level, but after a cursory look last spring - four at-bats in six games - he has been given significant playing time in the first three days of this exhibition season. That included starting and hitting leadoff in the Rockies' 15-2 victory against the Mexican Nationals team at Hi Corbett Field on Friday.
"I remember watching him on Field 3 (of the minor league complex) in the Instructional League (in 2004) drop three flyballs," manager Clint Hurdle said. "He was just a kid out of high school, learning how to switch-hit. He's starting to put a list of credentials together."
After coming off the bench to go 2-for-2 with three RBI in the Rockies exhibition opener Wednesday, and grounding into a double play and drawing a walk in a bench role Thursday, Fowler provided an early spark for the Rockies on Friday.
He doubled to drive in a run and scored a run in the three-run second that gave the Rockies a 5-0 lead, then he singled, stole a base and scored a run in the fourth. He also showed an ability to glide across the outfield that Hurdle admitted brought back memories of a young Willie Wilson.
There are no unrealistic dreams on Fowler's part. He's headed for Double-A Tulsa when the season opens, the next step in his progression to the big leagues. But he is soaking up every minute of major league camp.
"I'm blessed to get this chance," Fowler said. "It's all a learning experience. Each day things go on and I become aware of different aspects of the game."
Fowler does pay attention. And he does have motivation to be a success in baseball.
That was evident his senior year in high school. Despite contacts from major universities, including Harvard, about playing basketball in college, he gave up the sport to concentrate on baseball.
"I wanted to take my game to the next level," Fowler said.And when he signed in pro ball, despite his high stature, he quickly adjusted to suggestions the Rockies made, including accepting the idea of switch-hitting that first summer with rookie-Casper.
"The important thing was that Dexter dedicated himself to learning how to do it," said P.J. Carey, who was the manager in Casper that year but is now the minor league coordinator with the Dodgers. "It's not easy. You're in pro ball. You want to do well and you are asked to make a drastic change in your game.
"It's a credit to him that not only did he stick to it, but he has had success."
For Fowler, it was a no-brainer.
"I trust (the Rockies)," he said. "They know better than I do. They've been around the game a long time. I'm just going out and trying to play the game. They just want to help me get better."
So far, the approach has worked just fine.

Work At Pace
Project Echo 2020
People of Pace: Sarah Lindsay
By Austin Harris|April 21, 2017
Pinterest Linkedin Twitter Facebook
Before I read Sarah Lindsay's Wikipedia page, I knew her only as the smiling copy editor whom everyone adored. I would later come to know her as one of the funniest, most interesting people at Pace, and that's saying a lot.
I shouldn't have been surprised when I learned that she's written four books of poetry, been published in The New York Times, Reader's Digest, The Atlantic, The Paris Review, The Yale Review and Poetry Magazine. She is also the recipient of a Lannan Literary Fellowship, a Pushcart Prize, a J. Howard and Barbara M.J. Wood Prize and was a finalist for the National Book Award.
How can a person be this well known in such a prestigious field and stay so humble? If I were an accomplished poet, I would have "Ask Me About My Pushcart Prize" embroidered onto a velvet cape and wear it to work. The more I think about it, that mentality probably explains why I don't fit the poet profile; somehow, Sarah stays grounded. After years of doing excellent work for Pace, I set out to find out more about this accomplished creative.
I've been a copy editor here for a long time, on a lot of different projects, starting with the original Piedmont Airlines magazine, Southern Bride and IGA Grocergram. These days I work on print and digital for Four Seasons, but if any Pace person has a grammar- or style-related question, I'm happy to offer my ancient wisdom.
It's interesting to me how hard it is to outline the difference. But then there's no single absolute definition of "a poem" to start with. The writer of a poem gets to choose which rules to follow.
Both should be shaped with an audience in mind (even an audience of one). Will Reader X respond to this level of formality? If X doesn't know what I know, will this sentence still make sense? Will X possibly find this creepy? Is that a good thing?
If it's well integrated. You can write, "I know you'll love this product," but it's almost always better for the feeling(s) to lurk in the imagery — verbal or visual. And in either case, the emotion of the audience is more important than the emotion of the writer.
It does, but for content, a writer assumes the brand voice. There's a powerful kind of creativity in producing something successful within strict limits like "This should be appealing, aspirational, witty but not eccentric, and one line long."
I don't know. Poets are expected to become teachers, but this is a good niche for me. One of my heroes is Wallace Stevens, who conscientiously did his job at an insurance company and wrote astounding poems.
It must have been a very gradual process. I still find myself wanting to imitate certain other poets, mainly when I've just read them, but now my cheap imitations sound more like me. I wouldn't mind having a broader vocal range.
That's the magic of rewriting. When I have an idea for a poem, it tends to be a roughly poem-sized idea, and my problem is usually too many lines, not too many pages. I've gotten better at cutting down the rough drafts, because I've had a lot of cutting-down practice on articles at Pace.
Fortunately, I can also show poems to two friends of mine who are brilliantly able to identify the creaky floorboards, the unnecessary explanations, the chunks that will improve the rest by going away.
On the other hand, if a poem turns into an essay, make it a good essay. Or maybe the essay will squirm and shrink as you examine it, and turn back into a poem.
Sarah is an example of how one's passion for creativity can be translated across multiple aspects of one's life and shared to great effect, no matter who the audience. If you haven't taken the time to read Sarah's poetry, you absolutely should. Her books are: Primate Behavior (1997), Mount Clutter (2002), Twigs and Knucklebones (2008), and Debt to the Bone-Eating Snotflower (2013).

TWO Columbus County Elections Settled By Flip of Coin
COLUMBUS COUNTY – If there weren't enough common sense reasons to make sure our elections are secure and voting integrity assured, town council races in Tabor City and Sandyfield ended in ties, requiring a coin toss to determine the winner.
From the Columbus News Reporter:
"In what was probably a historic first here, flips of a coin settled the results of two town council races Monday in Columbus County. As a result of the coin tosses, Nelson Lee will return to the Tabor City town council and challenger Randolph Keaton will join the Sandyfield town council.
Based on the coin tosses, Lee finished ahead of challenger Ronnie Graham in Tabor City, while Keaton won over incumbent council member Claudia Bray in Sandyfield.
Both races ended up in ties after the official canvass of the Nov. 5 municipal elections and, in keeping with state law, after recounts requested [CONTINUE READING]"

Q: What is the probability of a circle sector being chosen at random?
What should I do in order to find the probability of the sector? Can you please give me the answer to this. It will really help me out if you do.

A: $$P(Desirable\ event)=\frac{Measure\ of\ Desirable\ Outcomes}{Measure\ of\ Total\ Outcomes}$$
This measure could be of any type, area, time period, sets, etc. In this case it is degrees.
The total outcomes all come within $360^\circ$. So,
$$P(Point\ lies\ in\ given\ angle)=\frac{63^\circ}{360^\circ}=\frac7{40}$$

The largest international conference hosted in Rotorua has started welcoming more than 1200 health delegates from around the world.
The International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) conference opened last night with the theme "Waiora: Promoting Planetary Health and Sustainable Development for All".
Associate Health Minister Jenny Salesa opened the conference, which runs until April 11, and will see delegates from around the world come together to discuss best practice in health promotion, research, and theory.
Salesa said it was vital to improve planetary health and achieve sustainable development for all and commended the Health Promotion Forum of New Zealand, which is co-hosting the conference, and IUHPE for putting the conference's extensive programme together.
"The range of topics covered reflects how important health promotion is in addressing all aspects of health," she said.
"We are at a unique point in history. We have higher life expectancy, lower child mortality, lower maternal mortality and considerable advances in science and technology. Despite this, we are facing significant challenges to the health of global population and natural systems on which we depend.
Salesa said the Government would release the world's first "Wellbeing Budget" this year.
"This approach lifts our gaze from health to wellbeing, and re-frames our understanding of the determinants of both health and wellbeing.
"Specific priorities include transitioning to a low-emissions economy, lifting incomes of those at highest risk of experiencing poverty, for example our Māori and Pacific communities, supporting innovation in the digital age, improving child and youth wellbeing, and addressing mental health needs, particularly for those under 24 years old," Salesa said.
Executive director for the Health Promotion Forum Sione Tu'itahi said HPF and its partners wished to contribute to addressing common global challenges.
"Unless we think global and act on all levels, we will not resolve those determinants of health that are interrelated and common to all.
"In times of troubles, as in the case of recent sad events in our country, we acknowledge with loving compassion, the loss and suffering, while we continue to be galvanised within the richness and strengths of our diversity, and work together across the world to promote peace and wellbeing," he said.
Tu'itahi said while climate change was the most significant issue in the world today the Pacific region was one of the regions where it was most pronounced.
He pointed out that while New Zealand wished to learn from the world, it also hoped to contribute its experience , especially in indigenous health promotion.
IUHPE President and co-chairman Graham Robertson said the conference programme provided a platform for the IUHPE's Global Working Groups and members to showcase their work, as it does for guest speakers and many other contributors.
"It also allows the IUHPE to hear of latest developments and ideas that can inform future plans and advocacy work," he said.
Destination Rotorua business events manager Craig Murray said the event was a great opportunity to showcase Rotorua's ability to host large conferences and provide a high-quality experience.
"An event of this scale involves many of our hospitality and visitor industry operators, as delegates will have opportunities to explore Rotorua and enjoy some of the restaurants and attractions on offer.
IUHPE is a worldwide, independent and professional association of individuals and organisations committed to improving the health and wellbeing of people through education, community action and the development of public health policy.


In December, photographers around the world will be grabbing their cameras, finding people in need and taking their picture. When the prints are ready, the photographs get delivered. Yep. It really is that easy. This is about GIVING the pictures, not taking them. These portraits are not for your portfolio, website, or for sale. Money isn't involved here. This holiday season, you have the chance to give a family something they may have never had before—a portrait together. Welcome to Help-Portrait in Kelowna.
We have a few photographers that have stepped up to help oversee the event. This working group consists of Jessica Balfour, Marijanel Knight, Darren Hull, and Nico Boesten.
This is an event that we have talked about doing here in Kelowna and after a bit of digging, found out it actually has happened for the past 2 years. This event called Help-Portrait was started by celebrity photographer & activist Jeremy Cowart where the goal is to find someone in need, take their portrait, print it, and then deliver it.
In 2 years, Help-Portrait has become a "Global movement of photographers using their time, gear, and expertise to give back to those in need" where over 101,596 portraits have been given by more than 10,500 photographers around the globe.
There was a group that made this event happen in Kelowna for the past 2 years where they worked with some local organizations who were able to bring guests to be shot (ie photographed) and given the dignity & care to have their portrait taken.
This year, we have invited a bunch of organizations who work with people in need (elderly, low income, homeless, mental health etc…) to bring the people they work with for a free portrait session. Both locations will have some snacks, coffee, music, a makeup artist, and a professional photography studio setup.
But to understand a bit more, why don't you first go ahead and watch this video about what Help-Portrait is (and is not).
If you'd like to be involved as a volunteer (there are lots of needs) we need you to signup on this Google Doc. We have set this up so that everyone can see the needs and place their own name next to a need. For the Dec. 8 date, we have most of the positions covered already but Dec. 10 at OK College is where we'll be sending most of the organizations & photographers.
The event details will be updated here as more of the pieces come together. Looking forward to seeing how this event will help make some people feel valued, cared for, and blow away with generosity this Christmas.
Looking forward to seeing where this goes… if you'd like to donate to the cause, here's an option.


An improved parallel ray casting algorithm in embedded multi-core DSP system is proposed in this paper. In order to speed up the process of intersection, the algorithm takes advantage of the improved bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) technology. By parallelizing and optimizing ray casting algorithm on TMS320C6678 of TI, the computing efficiency greatly increases. Master-slave mode is adopted to schedule the tasks and balance the load between 8 cores in parallel processing. Moreover, the code and Cache is optimized on the hardware platform. The experimental result shows that our method has good performance and exceeds the result of OpenMP (Open Multiprocessing). This paper proposes a new method to run rendering algorithm on embedded platform efficiently. The rendering algorithm usually runs on GPU, due to GPU's powerful computing capability.


The second in the thrilling new Hunters series from Chris Kuzneski. The Hunters. If you seek, they will find.... The treasure: For over 2,000 years, the legendary tomb of Alexander the Great - and the riches concealed within - has evaded discovery.
Now, after centuries of searching, an ancient map has come to light that could hold the key to finding the fabled vault. Only one team has the skill and the expertise to solve the mystery once and for all. The mission: It's up to The Hunters - an elite group assembled to track down the world's greatest treasures - to find the tomb. But on arriving in Alexandria, it quickly becomes clear that hostile forces are on their trail.
And when one of the team is captured in cisterns deep below the city, what began as a treasure hunt becomes a deadly rescue mission. For there are some who will use any means possible to destroy The Hunters' efforts, and now there is more at stake than they ever could have imagined. High-octane action. Brilliant characters. Classic Kuzneski.
Clichéd story, by the numbers action and irritating protagonists backed up by an narrator not suited to this story means you have been warned.
Another action-packed adventure. Some twist and turns, some you'll see coming but others that you won't. Some may even have you shouting at the book in shock. The humour is still very evident and a big part of what makes this series fun, the pop culture references are a nice touch. I'm looking forward to the next book.
I had a different version of this audiobook and only managed about 15 minutes, maybe it was because I had just finished 'The Hunters' but the characters sounded wrong and whiny. Luckily I was able to return it and use the credit to get this edition.
I love Dudley Hinton's performance and was so glad to experience the characters as I imagined them, thanks to his performance in 'The Hunters'. The performance is smooth and engrossing, the characters are each very distinct and identifiable. I look forward to listening to more.
What did you like most about The Forbidden Tomb?
Love the pace and the characters. Material, plot and story line are most entertaining was disappointed when I came to the end.
Not because of the ending but could have carried on for hours more.
Have you listened to any of Dudley Hinton's other performances? How does this one compare?
The author went for a shock value moment towards the end of the story, presumably to try and breath some life into a slow plot with many unbelievable elements. For me it didn't work and soured the whole thing for me.
I chose this rating as I found it really difficult to get into. The plot sounds fantastic, unfortunately the accents and poor storytelling were too distracting.
What made the experience of listening to The Forbidden Tomb the most enjoyable?
It was a good story line. Strong characters very well written. The story line kept me gripped from the start.
I liked the characters and their complex interaction with each other, the underlying tensions and friendships, but loyalty when it counts..
Good consistent reading with good characterisation making the story enjoyable to listen too.
No it wasn't really that type of book, as it is more military based.
Great book. I would recommend it.
Would you try another book written by Chris Kuzneski or narrated by Dudley Hinton?
What character would you cut from The Forbidden Tomb?

Cambodia launches new working group created to revamp immigration law
Cambodian Minister of Interior Sar Kheng has requested former justice minister Ang Vong Vathana to lead the interior ministry's working group in drafting a bill to replace the existing immigration law, which he said is outdated given technology advancements in the digital era.
Sar Kheng made the request at the 18th meeting of the National Committee for Sub-National Democratic Development (NCDD) at the ministry.
"Almost everything needs to change. If we want to amend all of that, then I think we should make a new law," he said.

Iceland: A Virtual Journey - The Foundry @ Meredith Corp.
To navigate the glaciers, volcanoes and rugged terrain of Iceland is to take a journey into the age of exploration. Our adventure takes us to some of the country's most fascinating destinations.
There's a reason everybody wants to visit Iceland.
From the natural hot springs to the craggy seaside, Iceland immediately enchants with its epic, rugged landscapes and lingering mysticism (an estimated 54 percent of Icelanders believe in elves). And it doesn't hurt that airfare to the island country is quite affordable.
But if you can't drop everything to board a plane to Iceland right now, here's an immediate consolation prize: Immerse yourself in Travel + Leisure's 360-degree VR video and start gathering inspiration.
Start your Iceland trip by learning about the people who established it. The Viking village is a well-maintained replica of how the original Icelanders lived. Next up are the famous black sand beaches. Like many things in Iceland, volcano eruptions created the unusually colored sand. Lava seeped between the grains and forever changed their color. The country has more than 30 active volcanoes, waiting for the perfect conditions to erupt.
The tour continues through Iceland's glaciers, lagoons, and parks. One of Iceland's most popular drives is along the Golden Circle, a route that winds through some of the country's most iconic sights, including fields of Icelandic ponies. These small horses were raised by the Vikings to withstand hardy climates, despite their small size.
If you're inspired to plan your own trip to Iceland, there are more activities than you'll have time for, like paddle boarding with Arctic Surfers (yes, paddle boarding in Iceland), horse riding with Ishestar, a helicopter tour with Norðurflug Helicopter Tours, diving or snorkeling at Silfra Fissure, and camping with Camping Iceland.
Spend the next few minutes immersing yourself in 360 degrees of Iceland and then check out Travel + Leisure's guide to Iceland for more help (or inspiration) in planning your next trip.
Thanks to Nikon KeyMission 360.

In SaaS, #1 most common mishire, with a bullet, is the VP/head of sales. In fact, there a VC saying that I used to really hate. It goes something like "You've Got to Get Past the Carcass of Your First VP of Sales" or "It's The Second VP of Sales When You Really Start Selling" or variants thereof. It used to really bug me because I am a firm believer in the strategy of Zero Voluntary Attrition and trying to hire fewer, more committed resources over a higher volume of mercenaries that turn over more often.
Heck of a post. I've witnessed so many companies fail at this and so many companies hire the wrong head of sales. Great perspective and analysis!

How would humans treat dogs that are more intelligent than humans and can speak?
Suppose that there is a species of dogs that are much more intelligent than humans and can speak. The humans know that the animal is smarter too. The only reason these animals can't rule over humans is because of their physical limitations (no aposable thumbs). They can learn faster, they are more creative, and they could build better technology if they had humans to actually implement it. They are easily able to communicate with humans because they can learn and speak languages.
How would humans treat these dogs? Would we be hostile to them because they could be a threat or would we work with them?
Note: the dogs have only shown signs of being peaceful, but humans are paranoid
humans fauna intelligence
michaelprimichaelpri
As with all things of this nature, you're going to get a spectrum of human responses. Some people will fear the dogs no matter what. Some people will love them, some will want to enslave them, and it's likely that a majority will be neutral.
However, there are several factors that will shift that spectrum and change the relative proportions of those opinions.
History. As David Mulder stated, if the dogs have been around for a while then their history will impact how they're viewed, and you can make this work however you want. If they've been historically benevolent, it's hard to imagine more than a small fringe that's against them.
Lab-created. Lots of humans have disproportionate reactions to anything lab-created as unnatural, so if that's the source you'll get a lot of knee-jerk hatred.
While this is normally a visual phenomena, I suspect that you might get an Uncanny Valley effect if the dogs act almost, but not quite, human. This would give you a percentage of humans with an instinctive revulsion against the dogs.
If the dogs are cute (or at least photogenic) more people will like them. You'll get a more positive response from intelligent Golden Retrievers than say, German Shepherds.
You will get a more positive response if you avoid "attack" breeds, like Pit Bulls (I know most of that is BS, but we're talking about general trends and perceptions here, not reality).
If the dogs are that intelligent, they will value positive PR and will take active steps to control their perception by humanity and make it as positive as possible.

Realistically it all depends on how the dogs have shown up. Honestly, you can design such a relationship in any way you want it. If they have been there for all of history then they can both be masters using machinery they had humans design in the far past or simply live along side or even be the slaves of humans. If they were created in a lab there would probably a lot of fear towards them and they would probably be kept locked up in various huge companies that would exploit their intellect. And if they just suddenly appeared out of nowhere they would probably be eradicated as a threat (taking human history into account). But still, if you want to build a world where they suddenly appeared and became the best human friends then that's possible as well (just give them a common enemy and there you go), it's all possible and the question is far too broad to give any serious advice.
David MulderDavid Mulder
While there would certainly variations, I think for the dominant treatment there would be only three possibilities:
Enslavement. If we can keep control over the dogs despite their intelligence, then the dogs will effectively be enslaved. Note that this is true even if those dogs are loved: We love dogs as pets; we don't usually love straying dogs. An intelligent pet would effectively be a slave as well.
Competition. If neither species can dominate the other, the end will be that both species treat each other as equals. Humans would appreciate the dogs' superior intelligence, and the dogs would appreciate the humans' better dexterity. Of course that does not mean that this would be true in every individual relationship; after all, human slaves existed through all of history. However in the whole picture, there would not be one species that enslaved the other. All in all, dogs and humans would compete against each other in the same way humans compete against each other.
Dominance. If the intelligent dogs were sufficiently intelligent that they can control the humans, they most probably will do so. In that scenario, the world would be ruled by the intelligent dogs, with the humans fulfilling whatever role the dog society assigns to them. If the dogs are very intelligent, they will be able to do so in a way that the humans don't even notice that they are dominated by the dogs.

Humans are rarely uniform in our approach to life, and I think that would include our treatment of dogs who are much more intelligent than humans. And instead of typing "dogs who are much more intelligent than humans" over and over again, I'm going to call them "peabodies."
It seems likely (because you don't say otherwise) that the peabodies have been around a long time -- more recently than humans, I'll assume, because dogs in general are a more recent development. But I think we would've encountered them before, say, the bronze age, though not necessarily on all continents.
Those who cooperated with the peabodies would likely prosper a lot better than those who didn't. Considering that for a lot of our existence, getting our next meal was often a problem, I think there'd be a lot of advantage toward cooperation. Those who used the peabodies' brainpower would tend to reproduce better and defend themselves better than those who didn't. And the peabodies wouldn't make very good slaves -- those unhappy with their lot would only have to hold back in inventing, and, of course, they'd know it.
Of course there would be exceptions, because humans of any stripe can be irrational. When Benjamin Franklin invented the lightning rods, churches considered them blasphemous. But when church towers kept getting hit by lightning and structures protected by lightning rods were kept safe, the lightning rods won. We're a species with a certain frequent self-defeating perversity to our thoughts, yes, but we're not, generally, idiots.

the dogs have only shown signs of being peaceful
They're canines, ergo hunters and predators. Thus, your caveat is fundamentally flawed.
Anyway... without bipedalism and opposable thumbs, they can't use tools (thus no writing, controlling fire, etc, etc, etc), they aren't a threat to us.
Did they become intelligent before or after the split from wolves? IOW, are wolves intelligent, too? I can really imagine super-intelligent wolves being a significant threat to Stone and Bronze Age man. The "fear of forest" which engendered the story of Peter and the Wolf would have been magnified 1000x fold, and we'd have done our best to exterminate them -- which we would have, because of range weapons and poison -- ASAP.
If the intelligence came when they were dogs, I can imagine them knowing their limitations, latching on to us, and reminding us at every turn that they're no threat. Culturally, this would have changed the course of religious development (do intelligent dogs have a soul?), and limited the settlement of the north (super-intelligent beings typically not liking to be used as beasts of burden).

These dogs would very quickly be in charge of the world, beginning around the time that humans first learn to herd animals rather than hunting them.
Humans would probably start the war (the dogs are taking their livestock), but the dogs would retaliate by attacking human settlements, killing all the adults and taking away babies which they would "domesticate". Their newfound pets would allow them to overcome their lack of opposable thumbs.
Fast forward 20,000 years and we have cities with the more intelligent dogs being at the top and humans being second class citizens.
gburtongburton
If these uberdogs lived and evolved along with us since the dawn of the species, then they were competitors, just like humans treated other humans as enemies for resources and territories. If there were another predatory species available at the time, we would have domesticated that for protection.
During history, there would be two parallel civilizations, with benefits and problems on both sides. We would have furry slaves and they ape slaves. After all, if we can enslave our own peers, nothing will prevent us from doing the same with another sentient species.
Dogs as we know them in their many breeds will not exist. A quality of us as sentient species is the size of the skull, which makes pregnancy a tough affair for women. It would be the same with the Homo Canem. The reproduction rate wouldn't allow a selective breeding -not to mention that a sentient species is already versatile enough to work tools and do everything we need from them as slaves. And when the slavery will end in favor of better regimes, they will make for useful allies/citizens. At best, there will be a series of ethnic groups best fit for a given environments.
In modern times, an open-minded human neighbor will ask the canine family from the other side of the street to join them for a grill party -and make that steak so blue that it makes me happy, man!

Re created in a lab: what if they were created to be our leaders? Or at least the administrators, with human top-leaders telling them what to do.
This would be done to remove the self-destructive traits that bother us in large groups. Why dogs? It was unthinkable to manipulate the genes for the brains/minds of humans, both for ethics and the real fear of creating our replacement as a species. Dogs, as you see from the diversity of breeds, have a very flexible genome. And, what better to not become a monster AI but to love us unconditionally?

The UK general election has seen the ruling Conservative party returned to power with their largest majority since Thatcher's 1987 election. Sterling and the markets rallied on investor relief at a more predictable outlook for the country as its departure from the EU on 31 January seems all but certain.
The Conservatives have so far increased their Commons majority by 47 seats, with a total of 361 seats to Labour's 203. Labour has lost 59 seats.

UK set for third election in four years in bid to break Brexit deadlock
With more than 90% of votes counted a the time of writing, the Labour party has seen its worst election result since 1935. Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader of the opposition, has said he will not resign despite the party's so-called "red wall" all but collapsing across its northern heartlands. Corbyn described the outcome as "a very disappointing night."
With the political deadlock over Brexit at last seemingly on the way to resolution, the outlook for investors appears more positive than it has for some time."
A jubulant Boris Johnson addressed his suppporters in the early hours of Friday: "We must understand now what an earthquake we have created. The way in which we have changed the political map of this country. We have to grapple with the consequences of that, we have to change our own party to rise to the level of events."
Financial services and the markets generally expressed relief at the outcome. Colin Dryburgh, of Kames Diversified Growth Fund, said "The electorate have rejected the opportunity to lurch leftward into Jeremy Corbyn's vision of a socialist utopia that promised radical reform of the way in which the UK economy worked. On both readings, markets are likely to heave a sigh of relief."Nigel Green, CEO of deVere Group, said that "Christmas had come early for the pound, economy and UK financial assets." Green added: "With more political certainty due to the large majority, the UK economy is also likely to receive an election bounce.
"Billions of pounds in business investment that has been on the sidelines due to the parliamentary paralysis is now ready to be unleashed. This will give a much-needed boost the slowing British economy."
In London trading this morning the pound was up 2.3% against the dollar, rising to $1.3411 on its sharpest rally in over three years.
Guy Foster, head of research at wealth manager Brewin Dolphin, cautioned that, "a lot can change over the coming months as the finer detail of the UK's future trade relationship with the EU is negotiated.""This is still, after all, just the beginning of the exit process. Even with the passing of the withdrawal agreement, the UK could still leave the EU without a deal at the end of 2020 if trade negotiations don't proceed successfully," he added.
However Foster conceded "With the political deadlock over Brexit at last seemingly on the way to resolution, the outlook for investors appears more positive than it has for some time."
Esty Dwek, head of global market strategy, Natixis IM Solutions, his plan to get a trade agreement done by the end of 2020 is likely to hit some snags. Indeed, the hard work begins now, and even a bare-bones agreement is unlikely to be achievable in less than a year.

Q: TableServiceContext and strongly typed table name I have a DocumentDataServiceContext derived from TableServiceContext. Inside that class I have the following method:
public DataServiceQuery<Document> Documents
{
    get
    {
        return this.CreateQuery<Document>("Documents");
    }
}

Is there a way to get rid of the string constant passed to CreateQuery and instead obtain the table name used by CloudTableClient.CreateTablesFromModel(typeof(DocumentDataServiceContext))?

A: No.  At the end of the day, the CreateQuery() must have the table name to query against.  You can of course use convention or reflection to derive what that table name will be in another method, but at some point a string must be passed to CreateQuery.
public DataServiceQuery<T> CreateQueryByConvention<T>()
{
     return this.CreateQuery<T>(typeof(T).ToString());
}


Daily criticism of President Donald Trump's tweets is becoming the norm. What is also becoming pretty standard is the notion that many of his tweets are breaking new ground in presidential decorum (or lack thereof).
Occasionally, in our country's history, presidents have taken uncomfortable public positions when it comes to their sons. For instance, Abraham Lincoln took much grief for the fact that his eldest son, Robert, was safely away from the battlefield and at Harvard University for much of the Civil War only entering service at the end as a member of General Ulysses S. Grant's staff (and thus very much out of harm's way).
While presidents' sons are sometimes subject to scrutiny, daughters seem to draw much greater attention with the president in question oftentimes more inclined to adopt a hyper-protective posture when they feel their daughters are being treated unfairly.
Still that's the exception and not the norm. Most presidents have been extremely publicly protective of their daughters.
Given that, one can only imagine what Harry S Truman might have done with a Twitter account if he'd had one in his day. That fact is borne out by the fiery letter he wrote Paul Hume, music critic for the Washington Post, after Mr. Hume accepted the thankless task of reviewing a performance by none other than First Daughter, Margaret Truman, at Constitution Hall in 1950.
Now Margaret was no novice at singing. She'd been performing around the country for a few years and had even signed a record contract with RCA Victor Records. So Hume probably felt he was on fairly safe ground in critiquing Margaret's musical production.
Hume's immediate reaction to all of this is unknown, but the fact that he sold the letter the following year for $3,500 indicates he managed to recover from the presidential assault in relatively short order.
So while some Trump's tweeting is groundbreaking, a father (albeit the most powerful man in America) defending his daughter, isn't anything new at all.


Over the years I have tried many night time solutions to combat this ongoing issue of bedwetting in our family. Currently the boys wear overnight pants which are great, however the expense of more than one child wearing them can be quite high.
I have purchased many bedding additions over time that have claimed to solve the issue of the enormous wash loads associated with accidents - namely mattress protection sheets. The idea of these seemed worthy however, more often than not, they've failed by simply not being effective at a crucial time - especially where the upper layers of the bedding is concerned.
When I was contacted by Ezy Dry Bed, I was understandably interested in trying out their Up and Under Linen and Mattress Protector on my son's bed. Ruben, (aged 8) has been wanting to go to bed with the freedom and maturity of no night pants for a good year now. (Maybe longer.) Sometimes he even intentionally leaves the night pants off without our knowledge and not surprisingly, that always ends in disaster!
When I told my defiant trickster that he'd be the lucky recipient of this new product, he was so excited! Finally Mum was going to trust him to go to bed without protection and that's huge in his 8 year old mind!
I have been quite confident that this product is not going to fail us, more so than any we have tried previously and that's because it's not only a base sheet, but a top sheet system too. It completely makes sense doesn't it?! Furthermore, the Up and Under system was invented by an experienced, local Melbourne Mum of three, Houda Merhi, who was tired of the whole wet night scenario and you can read her story here.
The Up and Under Linen and Mattress Protector is simple to use. It is placed on top of existing bed linen and takes no skill to set up.
As demonstrated (by Ruben's UFC Fighter figurine!), your child sleeps between the breathable sheets of the mattress protector in order to sleep with full wetness protection. The base fabric is a soft cotton terry which contains a Miracle Membrane and the top sheet is made from TENCEL which also contains the Miracle Membrane. Both combined surfaces form a full waterproof sleep system that acts to protect your mattress and bedding from wetness and staining as well as forming a hygienic barrier. The sheets are entirely noiseless too so no horrible rustling sounds and no slippage like others we've tried.
When your child has an accident within the confines of the Up and Under system, the wetness is fully contained and prevented from spreading to the bedding - all of it. No more enormous wash loads and no more night time bedding changes. What a relief! Just whip off the Up and Under to wash, change your child's pyjamas, (pop on a second, clean Up and Under) and it's back to bed for everyone.
The top sheet of the Up and Under fastens with strong studs to ensure the sheet stays in place over your child during the night and it is adjustable to fit different mattress sizes too. You just tuck in the poly-cotton sides beneath the mattress to secure it all and you're ready to go.
The first night we used the Up and Under - you guessed it...my son wet the bed! I did not find out about it until the morning though as he took care of it himself! He stripped his bed in the night, of the Up and Under, changed his own pyjamas and checked his bedding for any wetness (there was none) before putting himself back to sleep!
The Up and Under is 100% waterproof and capable of holding up to 1.2 litres of fluid.
It washes easily and dries quickly.
Is manufactured with natural fibres to ensure antibacterial and anti-allergenic effectiveness.
Is safe for use with electric blankets.
I can't tell you how thrilled I am about the effectiveness of this product. It really does work.
There are a range of products to deal with incontinence issues, stains and allergies so if you are experiencing any of these issues, head to the Ezy Dry Bed website. The Up and Under Single / King Single featured here retails for $90. Purchase two Up and Under products (recommended) and receive a free pillow case valued at $12.99.

We have used standard mattress protectors with the cot/toddler bed and were quite happy with those but found that quality (and price!) varied. Much better to spend a bit extra for a good quality fully fitted one. On the 'big boy' bed we've used a standard mattress protector but in conjunction with a brolly sheet. That has worked quite well.
We have been using a mattress protector for his toddler bed and it's certainly done its job. Not only protecting from nappy leaks, but also from my son's midnight blood noses! He sleeps through them so we don't find out until the morning so the blood is all dry and he looks like a bashing victim! The mattress protector has saved his toddler mattress from not only pee stains but blood stains as well! We will definitely be getting one for his new single bed.
I have used the mattress protectors before, but I still have to change the whole bed. These sound wonderful and would love to give them a try.
We've tried a few different mattress protectors but, as they're just plastic, they make cleaning it all up a bit of a task - eg we use a towel in between the plastic and the fitted sheet so it absorbs it a little bit.
The Ezy Dry Bed Up and Under Linen and Mattress Protector sounds amazing and something we definitely need in our household!
A wonderful way of protecting the bed and the mattress.
We are using one right now and it seems to be doing a top job...the true test will be when we start toilet training the little one and there are accidents in bed!
This looks amazing! The night pants are so expensive after a while. We've got 4 waterproof mattress protectors but they're such a pain to get dry, especially in the winter.
My 3 year old is delayed and just starting to toilet train-would love this for him!!
My eldest son has a waterproof mattress protector which we got with the bed when we purchased it. I would love to win this for our 19 month old who is going into a big boy bed very soon. They are great, ezy to use and very effective.
We have a waterproof sheet on our little boys bed the quality is not very good though would love to get him a better one , would save me lots of washing!
We bought new bunk beds and new mattresses the other week and guess what? The first 3 days, my boy wet the bed. Every night. I think we're using this one too!
I have tried one before but it didnt work at all.
This could be incredibly helpful with my 6 year old, who has struggled to be dry and night and is starting to get rather frustrated by it!
So glad the bed wetting days are behind us, although I was fairly lucky in this regard with my three girls.
Mattress protectors are a Mum's best friend - for toddlers and older teenage boys!
I haven't tried one yet, but I will need one soon for my toddler. Thanks for the chance.
Wow! I swear I learn something everything I visit your blog! I'm in the throws of toilet training and I didn't think about bed wetting next - ugghhh! I think every mum need anything they can get their hands on to make parenting easy and this seems like a great product to try. Thanks for sharing!
I've used the normal mattress protector for my son's bed with no problems, however my currently-toilet-training 2yo daughter is proving to be a bit more difficult and this prize would be the perfect solution!
My 7year old still struggles with dry nights and we'd love to try this. I really want him to feel empowered as well as making life easier for me.
I have tried once before but he had managed the wiggle the protector off that corner so it was pointless.
I have Protect-a-Bed products on all of our beds and they are fabulous. However they do not account for gravity and protect the doona from the inevitable wee upwards accidents of my young night time toilet training son. This product will and, like all the Protect-a-Bed products, is soft to sleep on and suitable for the tumble dryer. Amazing, thank you. What a great invention! Aileen Vanderstraeten.
fitted is our aim next time!
little mr would be over the moon and hoping!
We use an underlay, mattress protector, plus a brolly type cover on top of the sheet. However, between the night nappies, and the sleep position, it is like Russian Roulette... trying to hit the target! Boys!!
I have an older brother with a disability- there can be multiple sheet changes in one night so sympathise with your endless loads of washing!
Sounds perfect to protect my little princess's mattress!
My nephew is staying with me and he wets the bed, I'd love to try this protection!
We've tried matress protectors, but none of them have worked, so we're forever putting the mattress in the sun to get the smell to fade.
I have used mattress protectors for ages and they are excellent. Also brolly sheets which are great as long as he stays on them. I didn't have much success with duvet protectors as they took longer to dry than the duvets. The beds get wet on almost a nightly basis here, funny how my least favourite chore has always been changing bed linen.

Named after his wife, Emily was opened in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn in 2014 by Matt and Emily Hyland.
A sausage and pepperoni pizza from John's of Bleecker Street retains its crisp in spite of the heavy helping of meat.
John's of Bleecker Street is practically an NYC institution, serving its first pizza in 1929. It's considered to be one of the four original pizzerias in NYC alongside Lombardi's, Patsy's and Totonno's.
While tourists line up around the block at Grimaldi's in DUMBO (a Brooklyn neighborhood that stands for "down under the Manhattan Bridge overpass"), we recommend going to Juliana's instead. The pizza, along with the wait, does not compare. Everything from the crust, sauce and toppings are better, which should come as no surprise considering Patsy Grimaldi is one of the most renowned pizziaolos the world has ever seen.

CSI: Still TV's top crime team
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is still the top TV show after 11 years
by StraitsTimes.com / March 9, 2013
As television shows go, it is an utterly predictable formula – a cops-and-criminals drama spiced up with graphically gruesome details, a music video-worthy soundtrack and implausibly attractive investigators, with the whodunit teed up at the start of each episode handily solved within an hour.
Yet in spite (or perhaps because) of this, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation was again crowned the world's most watched show in 2011, for the fifth time in seven years, based on the 63 million viewers it attracted.
While the series has cleaved to this formula since it first aired in 2000, it has managed to stay fresh, partly by enlisting some big names in television and film, including Golden Globe winner Ted Danson in 2011 and Oscar-nominated actress Elisabeth Shue last year.
Danson is best known for playing quirky, sardonic characters including bartender Sam on the sitcom Cheers (1982-1993), which won him two Golden Globe awards. And he seems more than happy to have landed another plum role in a long-running hit series.
"I'm thrilled that it remains the No. 1 watched show in the world even after I joined," the 65-year-old quipped during a press conference.
"The different kinds of people who come up to you and talk about it still surprise me." He plays D.B. Russell, supervisor of the CSI team in Las Vegas.
Shue, 49, saw her film career peak in the 1990s, when she won an Oscar nomination for playing a prostitute in the 1995 film Leaving Las Vegas.
Since then, her projects have been few and far between, as she has been reluctant to leave her children with film-maker Davis Guggenheim, two daughters and a son, aged six to 14.
"I decided to be on CSI knowing that my youngest was in school. I had a tough time deciding to do any television shows when she was still young because I didn't want to miss out on any moment in her life.
"But I'm glad I chose CSI because it's a show that is an ensemble – there are a lot of great characters so I still get time off to take care of my family and keep that balance. And the show's very well-run."
While she is used to working on dramas, acting out stories about murders and dead bodies was a bit of an adjustment for Danson, who is more of a comedic actor despite three Emmy nominations from 2008 to 2010 for his role in the Glenn Close legal drama Damages.
"There are times you can see smoke coming out of my ears because the words are so hard," he says of the multisyllabic scientific and technical terms that trip off Russell's tongue. "It's very difficult to memorise, so I am a little tired right now."
Comedy is nevertheless more challenging, he adds. "Because it's very hard to get the right tone of what's funny. In drama, there's an old joke that you can show up drunk, depressed and divorced and the camera goes, 'Ooh! Wow! That's interesting!'"
Over the years, the CSI cast have had more opportunities to flex their dramatic muscles as the show's writers have delved increasingly into the lives and personal stories of their characters.
But its chief appeal is still its forensic "procedural" element, the whodunit-on- steroids genre that it pioneered, in many ways, leading to the spin-offs CSI: Miami and CSI: New York, as well as similar shows such as Bones and Cold Case.
"This show has stuck to what made it great early on, they really do provide you with a forensic mystery that is as honest as you can make it, considering you have 45 minutes to tell a story," says Danson.
"We try to make the science as real as possible and they have stuck to that formula. I think that is what makes it successful."
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Season 13 airs on AXN (StarHub Channel 511) on Wednesdays at 10pm.

Bayelsa state Government mock Adam Oshiomhole
by Louis Osagu
in News, Politics, World
Governor, Rt. Hon. Seriake Dickson challenge the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Adam Oshiomhole that he lacks adequate knowledge on David Lyon, the party flag's bearer for the governorship election .
The Governor made the statement 24 hours after he was criticised by Oshiomhole for using "unsophisticated language" against Lyon.
The governor also dismissed Oshiomhole's vow that APC will take over Bayelsa state after the election.
He said these on Friday during a chat with journalists at the end of the 3rd annual conference of the Guild of Corporate Online Publishers, held at the Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos.
Dickson had accused the oil companies in the state of outsourcing terrorism to Lyon by awarding him pipeline security and surveillance contracts.
Dickson also added "My good friend Oshiomhole knows that the APC cannot win Bayelsa in a free and fair election.
"They can't win any ward in Bayelsa.
"They have never won any election except intimidating people, manipulating electoral body.
"He knows that.
"He is my good friend.
"I disagree with his views.
"I believe he doesn't know his candidate enough.
"But in the coming days and weeks, I believe he will get to know the person he has allowed to be the flag bearer.
"Since 2015, we have been dealing with extreme violence and abuse of power by the leadership of the party that has the centre.
"We expect that the elections would not be as violent as the previous ones.
"The people of Bayelsa can be trusted to vote for a candidate they believe has the experience, a candidate that they believe understands the issues, a candidate that will continue with the massive development that has come to stay in Bayelsa."
The Governor, Appreciating GOCOP for inviting him to the event, Dickson said: "I am here to thank and appreciate you all for the good work you are doing in deepening our democracy.
"You cannot have democracy without a vibrant media.
"All of us who are running government, especially in this era of social media, it is not easy.
"Just from the anonymity of the laptop or even a cell phone, headlines are made and issues are raised, and God help you if you are in a state like Bayelsa where the social media is one of the busiest.
"Everybody is commenting, criticising.
"As inconvenient as this age of social media clearly is, it is nevertheless primary to the sustenance and developing and also to make more intense in our democracy."
Good journalism costs a lot of money, only good journalism can ensure the possibility of a good society, accountability democracy and a transparent government.*
*For continued free access to the best investigative journalism, we ask you to consider making a modest support to this noble profession.

My plans for you never fail, says the LORD. Never. I Am always on time and nothing can alter or postpone My Word. I will do what I said I would do for you, in you and through you and nothing can stop Me. I do not make promises that I will not keep. I do not give you false hopes. I do not tell you to take a detour just to see if you trust Me. I Am not taking you around in circles and creating an obstacle course for you. I make the path straight, and if you veer off, I will find you and bring you back on course. You are always in My sight, and I never lose track of you. I know the way that you take, and order every step of the way. Nothing that you need will be left up to you to provide, for I AM your provider, and I will fully equip you. I will not leave you to find the way that I have for you, but will walk with you, and keep you from failing or falling. I Am your guide continually, says the LORD.
I have NEVER cancelled My purpose and plans for you, says the LORD, and I never changed My mind about you. I created every person, place and thing, and there is nothing that is outside of My control. I Am unlimited and unfailing. Do you trust in Me? I have a purpose for everything and the times and seasons are in MY hands. I have set the course for you, enlightened the way and give sign posts that assure you that you are heading in the right direction. I always go before you and clear the way so that you will not stumble. Take Me by the hand and let Me do the leading, for you are secure in Me, and I will never disappoint you, says the LORD.


The East Bay Center For The Performing Arts helps the educational community met the challenges facing neighborhood children by providing after-school and in-school programs, school site performances, curriculum materials and professional development opportunities for artists and classroom teachers.
The Stephen Stills Children's Music Project has donated thousands of dollars and a myriad of musical instruments to this Northern California center. During a Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young concert tour Stephen took time to visit this extraordinary school. As he entered one of the music classrooms he was mystified to discover the student's music charts TAPED to the wall! Hardly an optimum educational environment since the children could not even face their instructor, the Children's Music Project was easily able to remedy the situation by immediately providing 50 sorely needed music stands! Sometimes it's just that simple. Also, congas donated by Kaman Music and drum sets from Drum Workshop, Inc. allowed their music percussion class to be heard loud and clear!
The Rosewood Avenue School with one of the Los Angeles Unified School District's most meager music program budgets is sorely lacking the musical instruments needed for children who are anxious to learn music but cannot provide instruments of their own. The CMP was able to provide violins, including proper size violins for younger students, clarinets, flutes and coronets to those enthusiastic students who would otherwise be unable to participate in the music program at all!
The Hanalei School on Kauai, Hawaii lacked the funding to provide music programs for the upcoming season. The Children's Music Project was able to assure the keyboard, percussion and culturally integral ukulele programs were reestablished for the entire upcoming school year. They are still in need of a sound system for the school as well as funding and additional instruments. Please look around and see how you might help.

Las Vegas high school student dies after experiencing sudden cardiac event
In a tragic story out of Las Vegas, 18-year-old Jordan Brister died suddenly after experiencing cardiac arrest, as Fox News reports, the second death of a similar nature in the local area this month.
Brister was reportedly found unresponsive in a bathroom following gym class at Amplus Academy, where he was a student, and he sadly died in the hospital several days later.
Sudden, tragic death
According to a statement released by the school, upon discovering Brister in the restroom, on-site staff "provided Jordan with emergency medical attention until paramedics arrived and transported him to Southern Hills Hospital."
However, the statement continued, "[d]espite the efforts of first responders and the medical team at the hospital, Jordan passed away this past Sunday."
As Las Vegas Fox affiliate KVVU reported, Brister was an organ donor and was able to provide the gift of life to others once it became clear he could not be saved.
In honor of that generosity, in a ceremony known as an "honor walk," staff at Southern Hills Hospital lined the hallways as Brister was taken to an operating room where his organs would be retrieved.
Dr. Shahid Ahmad, who was present for the solemn procession, explained, "God knows how many thousands and thousands of people every day are fighting for their lives. Anytime an organ is donated, it helps change the track of someone's life. He gets to live on in these individuals whose lives are impacted and saved."
Son, brother remembered
Brister will also live on in the memories of the friends and family left to mourn his passing, including his father, who declared the staff at Southern Hills Hospital to be "family."
Savanna Brister, mother to Jordan, issued a statement in memory of her son in which she described him as "a selfless, respectful, Southern gentleman who was kind to everyone."
"He was witty and charming. He wanted to join the military to become a para rescue jumper to save others. In the end, he saved others through donation of organs, so his dream was somewhat fulfilled," she added.
Mrs. Brister concluded her tribute to the late teen by saying, "He was a wise, older brother who cared deeply for his brother and sister. Jordan was truly everything you could ask for and more. He had a heart of gold."
Second such death in same week
Unfortunately, Brister's death was not the only sudden, fatal cardiac event to befall a Las Vegas area teen early this month, as 16-year-old Ashari Hughes collapsed following a flag football game, and despite an emergency response that included chest compressions, the use of an external defibrillator, and intubation, died later the same night, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Marilyn Barnes, the mother of one of Hughes' flag football teammates, paid tribute to the deceased girl, saying, "On the field she was a beast. She put her heart into that game, every game she played. Off the field she was so bubbly. She always had a smile on her face."
Surely echoing the sentiments of every sports parent who has recently seen stories like those of Brister and Hughes, Barnes poignantly observed, "It's very scary because at the end of the day, we think of sports as a sport. We all have plans on what happens after the game, get the family home, have dinner…[y]ou just never think on that field or court that's their last moment."

http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- WHAT IS WRONG with kids these days?
College students seem more hostile, more humorless, and much blinder to their own ideological hypocrisy than I remember from my campus years.
With age comes wisdom – or at least a swelling intolerance for the self-indulgent. I turn 29 next week, just discovered my first gray hair, and have now accepted an embarrassing truth: My generation is hopelessly plagued with mewling young people who treat all personal slights, off-color remarks, and ethnic jokes as signs of societal oppression. It's getting worse with time, not better.
When will this multicultural megalomania end? Where have all the adults gone? Would that there were just one university official in America with the guts to utter three simple words: Oh, grow up.
Alas, grownups at Rutgers University in New Jersey squandered an opportunity to tell off the terminally offended. A mob of minority students demonstrated against a comic strip published last week in The Daily Targum, Rutgers' student newspaper. The cartoon depicted a white character observing that blacks get a "free ride." Another character countered soberly that the only free ride given to blacks was "on a slave ship."
It was obviously an ironic attempt to combat negative stereotypes. Gary Gretsky, the freelance cartoonist who drew the strip, explained: "The strip's message was one of anti-racism." Yet, Gretsky was attacked by minority students as a hate-mongerer.
Administration officials cowered. Emmet Dennis, a Rutgers dean, said the cartoon was "extremely offensive." University president Francis Lawrence said it was "troubling on many levels." Faculty members reiterated their commitment to "diversity." The newspaper's editorial board apologized twice for running the comic strip.
Hassan Hodges, the managing editor, distanced himself from Gretsky -- even though he had just recently bragged to a local reporter about the cartoonist's unique point of view. Rather than champion free speech and tolerance for truly diverse views, Hodges said he was not in the office the night the comic strip was published.
Sounds like this blame-dodger has a bright future in mainstream journalism. Or politics. Or both.
Campus extortionists seized the day. They demanded free advertising in the student newspaper, more minority hires, and sensitivity training to compensate for their collective hurt. Most absurd of all, the protesters condemned the use of humor for political purposes.
Not every thoughtful comment about race must be a witless dissertation or whiny diatribe. Witness the nation's most successful and influential black comedians, from Richard Pryor and the Wayans family to Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock, who fight racism with ridicule. Their sharp-edged performances combine desperately needed laughs with trenchant social criticism of prejudices held by Americans of all colors.
Would the Rutgers rabble-rousers censor Aaron McGruder, too? His new comic strip, "The Boondocks," recently had one of the most successful launches in newspaper history. Carried in the funny pages and editorial pages of 200 papers, "The Boondocks" has one overriding, and often obnoxious, theme: racism.
McGruder joked in an interview with the online publication, The Onion: "Well, you know me, I racialize lawn-mowing." His main character, Huey Freeman, is a "passionate black revolutionary" and Afrocentrist. He employs what one fawning critic called "raised-fist rhetoric." Others might call it childish vitriol.
There was no public uproar and no organized demand that McGruder apologize for his insensitive and unfunny drawing. Why? McGruder, the young cartoonist whose central theme is racism and whose primary weapon is irony, is black. Gretsky, the young cartoonist who devoted one comic strip to making an ironic statement against racism, is white.
Such double standards are lost, of course, on today's self-absorbed campus crusaders. Their elders have forsaken higher education for ethnic pandering to the lowest common denominator. The result: A morose generation of multicultural hypocrites who believe they have a constitutional right not to be offended - except by members of their own racial groups.

The producers acquire the rights to the New York Times best-seller, eying a TV miniseries.
The Weinstein Company is making more moves in scripted television. The production and distribution house has acquired the rights to Daniel Stashower's The Hour of Peril. TWC is eyeing the New York Times best-seller, published earlier in 2013, as a TV miniseries.
"Daniel Stashower's The Hour of Peril is an untold and landmark moment in American history with the suspense and fervor of a crime thriller, which will make for immensely captivating television," said TWC president of television Meryl Poster.
Broadcast and cable networks are lapping up miniseries of late, with a wave of high-profile "limited" and "event" entries in the genre coming on the heels of 2012's Hatfields & McCoys on History. TWC previously saw success in the limited arena with Anthony Minghella's HBO adaptation of book series The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency.
Though TWC has had several scripted efforts in development since making a big push in TV since the 2011 hiring of Poster, the unscripted arena remains its area of greatest success, with reality franchises such as Project Runway and Mob Wives.


LSV Asset Management (LSV) is a quantitative value equity manager providing active management for institutional investors. LSV prides itself on keeping a small staff focused on its core competency, investment management. The firm was interested in how eVestment could help to improve the efficiency of its operation. LSV Asset Management has been an eVestment client since 2001 and subscribes to eVestment Analytics, Advantage, Asset Flows, Holdings Analysis, Omni, and Scorecard.
LSV has been a client since 2001 and initially used eVestment for competitive analysis.

LSV uses Analytics to look at competitors, better position themselves with prospects or clients and to do competitive analysis on fee structure and products. "Analytics is very flexible and offers us the ability to do things we would have just done without in the past. I can tell you we are far better off today with it as a tool," Owens said.
Some of the main challenges that LSV was hoping to solve with Market Lens include wanting to be more efficient with where the team was spending their time and resources when handling new business opportunities, preparing for client meetings and gaining a deeper understanding of consultant perceptions of the firm. eVestment spoke with Brett Goldacker, Associate Director, New Business Development and Josh Dupont, Director, Client Portfolio Services, about their experience using Market Lens and their excitement about strategic projects the solution will allow them to execute.
