CD Review: Psychostick - Sandwich
Ever heard of Psychostick? Me neither. Man, seems like I begin a lot of music reviews that way. I guess it is a testament to trying out new bands, or I just don't listen to enough in the first place. In any case, Psychostick is one of the odder bands I have had the pleasure of giving a spin. They are an extremely dumbed down version of Mr. Bungle, think something like Tenacious D crossed with Green Jello (er, Jelly), with a bit of The Bloodhound Gang for good measure. This is a band that is not so much about the music, but in the attempt to be humorous by turning a clever phrase, taking nothing seriously, and just having a bit of fun.
Whether or not they are successful is another story altogether. There is nothing special or fresh about the music they play or the humorous concept album idea. That said, the album is a lot of fun and when you key in on the lyrics, there is some funny stuff to get into. The question is, will it survive multiple listens?
Psychostick's Sandwich album is the Arizona-based act's third album, including an eight track holiday album in 2007. The concept driving this album is, you guessed it, food. The majority of the album's 24 tracks (!) are about food. There are some funny lines and the idea itself is pretty funny, although it does come in the wake of HORSE the band's 2006 EP called Pizza.
As catchy as the majority of the album is, as funny as some of the lyrics are, as clever as they are at times, I cannot help but feel Sandwich has a somewhat limited shelf life. I do not see anyone listening to this over and over ad nauseum like we can with truly excellent albums such as Green Jello's Cereal Killer or, on the more serious side, Mr. Bungle's California. It just lacks that long term connection factor. It is low brow and shallow to the extreme. Sure, I'll pull it out every once in a long while and would probably go see them live, but again, this is likely to get dusty on the shelf in between urges to listen to it.
So, once you do get your hands on Sandwich, those of you who are interested, there are a few tracks you will want to key in on during your tour.
The opening track is "Metal?" with a conversation reminiscent of Les Claypool before launching full bore into their ode to "Caffeine." Other highlights include "Grocery Escape Plan," "This is a Sandwich, Not a Song," and "Do You Want a Taco?" Also worth a peek are "#1 Radio $ingle" and "You've got Mail Enhancement." Finally, perhaps taking a cue from House of Pain and Limp Bizkit, there is a tune entitled "373 Thank Yous," which is exactly what you think it is.
Bottomline. It is what it is. It is worth checking out, it is funny, has some decent hardcore/punk inspired riffs and at times picks just the right target to aim its humor at.
Mildly Recommended.

I'm grateful for this opportunity to speak to you today about a subject that is very important to me, and hopefully to you. I pray that the Spirit might be with us so that we may both be edified by these things, and that we can apply what we learn (D&C 50:22).
The topic I've been given is twofold – first, the hymn "Who's on the Lord's Side?" and second, "following the prophet." While these two topics don't seem to relate to each other on the surface, I think the point is that those who follow the teachings of the prophets are truly on the Lord's side.

Memories of Kagnew Station
by Haile Bokure
Dear Dehayers,
A young American once said, " Why I dream of the State when Kagnew is my place."
In the sixties, about three thousand American servicemen excluding their family members were stationed at Kagnew and Track-A (radio marinaio). I used to sell sling shuts (fionda or mentig) to American kids who used to live around Campo-bello, TiraVello (Expo), Fiat Talero, Comboni, Gejiret, Geza Banda Tlayan (Addis Alem), and around Scuola Santa Anna adjacent to American Embassy.
Some of the American kids were good friends of mine. Names such as Tony, Stanley, Freidi, Winoz, Jack are still fresh in my memory. I used to play marble and baseball with them outside their beautiful villas. Those who could not buy my sling shuts, were able to get them in an exchange of books, and empty cans which I used to sell at Mercato area (shuq) reserved for the natives since the colonial era.
But most of my customers were Italians who were not fond of playing with me in the presence of their parents. That is how I learned English and Italian naturally during my early teen years. My nicknames such as "Kennedy" or " I don't care/non mi cura" are associated with early experience with Americans who influenced my behavior and style of speech during my formative age.
I could write at length my experience with American kids including at post chapel, baseball field, Oasis club, and hospital where I had an ear checkup a year after I lost my normal hearing. Almost two thousand Eritreans used to work with them as house boys, house girls, and skilled personnel at Kagnew and Gura around Decemare. The radio station was available for Mr. Speedy of the Gospel Center who used to broadcast God's words every Sunday to local people. Some members of the Army were active in local churches such as Sudan Interior Mission. Their benevolent contribution in cash or kind is beyond measure. You can tell this by reading the following story of mine which was featured as an introductory note in my earlier book "Lulu: Living in Silent Eritrea." which had been adapted into play last year at a time when the Eritrean Deaf Festival was held in Asmara.
DEDICATION On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy the youngest President in the history of the United States was assassinated in Dallas, TX. One day after that unforgettable event, I lost my normal hearing due to the deadly typhus fever that claimed the lives of two young men who were my roommates in the hospital. After two months, my youngest sister died after a similar prolonged illness. In January 1965, my late father lost his job as a result of its relocation and went to Addis in search of meager work. As a daily laborer, he was essentially unemployed for almost two decades and thus was unable to support our family of six. Because of this, I quitted schooling and started to sell slingshots to European children and most Americans who used to live at Kangew Station and around Asmara.
Luckily, I got acquainted with Mary Watson whose husband was in the Army along with their five children Ronda, Zina, Gary, Ricy, and Allen. Mrs. Watson sent me to Sudan Interior Mission, a boarding school for the orphans located at Decemare. After her return to the States, she continued to help me even up until my graduation from high school in Asmara. Due to the political crisis in Eritrea, we were unable to maintain correspondence with each other. Finally, when I came to the States as a Fulbright student, I was overjoyed to see her and her fully-grown up sons and daughters along with their beautiful children. It was like welcoming a prodigal son, and life started anew with my marriage and arrival of my fraternal twin girls who also joined the loving and caring Watson family.
Mary Watson was a strong Christian woman who dearly loved the Lord. She was restless and active in her community and church where she would often play the piano. During the last twenty years, she worked at home of the disabled as a caretaker and counselor. On March 31, 2003, the Lord decided it was time for Mary to come home. She was seventy-one years old. Her untimely death shocked us at a time when we were expecting to see her at the beginning of spring. It was a painful separation that I have never experienced in my lifetime. Therefore, in Mary Watson's memory, I am dedicating this book as a token of gratitude for all that she had done for me during the most critical times of my life.

The Truth About The Bachelor's Marylynn Sienna
Drama was in full swing during The Bachelor season 25's second episode on Jan. 11, 2020.
Just days into production, "Queen" Victoria Larson was shamelessly vocal about her dislike toward the other women in the house and the bonds they were forming while also competing against each other for Matt James' heart.
While Victoria seemed to dislike anyone who showed any sort of camaraderie within the group, she specifically had a bone to pick with her roommate Marylynn Sienna. Victoria even decided she could not sleep in the same room as Marylynn after she was "rude" to her when she called out the rest of the women for being "fake" for expressing excitement for Bri Springs landing the first one-on-one date of the season, per People. Victoria brought her concerns to the front of the table when she decided to spill her uneasy feelings to Matt after he presented Marylynn with her favorite flower — an orchid — before the rose ceremony. Victoria called Marylynn "toxic" several times, but never gave solid examples of what she meant.
This of course concerned Matt, who then pulled Marylynn aside once again to air things out. Unfortunately for fans, they did not get to see how the drama played out and were left with a cliffhanger after contestant Sarah Trott nearly passed out during the rose ceremony. While fans are well aware of the self-proclaimed queen, there is less known about Marylynn. Keep reading to dig into the truth about The Bachelor's Marylynn Sienna.
Marylynn Sienna knows exactly what she is looking for
Marylynn Sienna is an event planner, and it seems like she lent that expertise to her love life, because she knows exactly the type of person she sees herself with for the long run. "Marylynn needs a man who is ready to commit and not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeves," her official Bachelor profile says. "She wants a stable man who will love her unconditionally, someone who is loyal to the core and who would be a rock for her when life throws the inevitable curve ball their way." She also needs her partner to share her dreams of changing the world in a positive way. Considering Matt James is a motivated man who is passionate about the charity he co-founded, he definitely checks off some of Marylynn's wants.
Lastly, her five-year plan consists of being married with at least two rescue dogs. Luckily for her, Matt has shared several photos of himself posing with dogs (including the famous Doug the Pug) on his Instagram feed, so it probably wouldn't be too hard to convince him to adopt. Plus, considering he is The Bachelor, he is definitely looking to settle down as well.
Despite her confidence in knowing exactly what she seeks in a partner, Marylynn still does have some reservations when it comes to finding love.
Marylynn Sienna has one fear when it comes to love
Just weeks before her Bachelor debut, Marylynn Sienna posted on her Instagram that she is "completely terrified of failing at love."
"All my mistakes become lessons. All my traumas rip me apart creating a mold for resilience. Resilience that acts like glue for the heart we break over and over through our fragile aging," she started. "I feel so deeply. I crave for so much. That doesn't stop me from being completely terrified of failing at love. Life gives us so many opportunities to fail so we know how to truly honor the wins. & in the end, all these heartbreaks led me to you," she wrote. So who is this "you" that she was led to? Is it possible she hinted at a happily ever after with Matt James? It is also possible that she met someone after her Bachelor experience. Fans will, of course, see Marylynn's destiny play out on television, but until then, she has them guessing.
Marylynn also admitted in another post that she shared her "most vulnerable side" and "deepest traumas" on The Bachelor. While she has some nerves when it comes to finding love, it seems that Marylynn is always willing to give it her all.
Environmentalism is important to Marylynn Sienna
If you take a glance at Marylynn Sienna's Instagram, you'll come across several photos of her enjoying time in nature or commenting on how awe-striking it is. In one post in particular, she elaborated on her love for Mother Nature by encouraging her followers to reflect on what they can do for the planet. "Anyone who knows me well knows how PASSIONATE I am about the environment and sustaining it as best we know how," she said along with a photo overlooking Yosemite Valley. "Every time I think of our beautiful planet, I'm consumed by guilt as we continue to trash it with single use plastic/waste. Without much regard or knowledge, we unsustainably deplete Earth of her very scarce natural resources. I've invested a lot of time into making my life greener, but there are always things I can do better," she added before asking her followers to think about how they can protect the environment. Her post also promoted a reusable silicone water bottle.
Marylynn's Bachelor profile also explains that she hopes to start "several companies focused around promoting environmental welfare and healthy lifestyle choices," which further identifies saving the planet as a movement close to her heart. The planet isn't the only thing she shed light upon, though; aside from the planet being treated kindly, the event planner also believes we as humans need to treat each other better.
Marylynn Sienna supports the Black Lives Matter movement
Marylynn Sienna has also been quite vocal about the Black Lives Matter movement on her Instagram page. "I wish we lived in a world with more compassion and love. I wish we could all collectively change. No more killing. No more oppression and judgment," she wrote in her first of three posts about the movement that reignited in America in 2020, referencing the lyrics to "There Must Be More To Life Than This" by Queen and Michael Jackson.
Furthermore, when she revealed that she participated in Matt James' season of The Bachelor, the canine lover addressed the history-making season. "This season is the first time the show features a black male lead in 25 shows! Can you believe it? It's about time!" she exclaimed. "I'm so proud to be a part of this very diverse cast and break down the boundaries necessary for more equality and acceptance. The Bachelor is one of the most watched shows of all time and it's imperative we start showing the viewers all types of love stories—not just white ones."
It seems like the 25th season of The Bachelor comes at an ideal time for Marylynn to make her reality television debut.

Penile cancer is actually very rare – only around 400 new cases are diagnosed each year in the UK – however, being told you have penile cancer can be devastating.
Mr Suks Minhas
Penile cancer is a rare form of cancer that mostly affects men over the age of 50. The very name penile cancer can set off alarm bells in the mind of men due to it occurring in such a sensitive area. It is reported just 400 new cases of penile cancer are diagnosed in the United Kingdom each year. Despite being rare, it can be a devasting cancer.
Men may find the skin around the penis becoming discoloured. The skin can also become thick and bumps can develop in the area. Along with bumps or lumps, ulcers can form on the skin.
Ulcers can form on the shaft, foreskin, and head of the penis. Men may also find a foul-smelling discharge emanating from their penis. Discharge and/or blood can emerge from the ulcers.
General practitioners will refer men suspecting they have penile cancer to a urologist for confirmation. The urologist will first take a blood test and confirm the patient's medical history.
The specialist will then take a biopsy of the penis to test for penile cancer. A small piece of tissue will be removed to test under a microscope. Three different biopsies can be carried out and include incisional biopsy, excisional biopsy, and lymph node biopsy.
An MRI scan and CT scan will also be used to ensure the cancer has not spread to further parts of the body. Patient survival rates depend on how early the cancer is discovered.
Patients experiencing penile cancer have four methods of treatment. These treatment methods include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and biologic therapy. Treatment can depend on the size of the cancer cells and growth.
Penile cancer surgery may involve removing the cancerous cells and some of the tissue near the area. Men can expect to have reconstructive surgery to repair the areas of the penis that are affected by the cancer.
Some patients may undergo partial amputation of the penis. The appendage can be reconstructed using muscle and tissue from other areas of the body. Modern medicine has made it possible to reconstruct the penis and give cancer suffers the chance to resume a normal life.

Hamill Foundation Gives UHD $50K for Veterans Services and Scholars Academy
The Hamill Foundation awarded a $50,000 grant to the University of Houston-Downtown to help support the UHD Office of Veterans Services and Scholars Academy.
"The Hamill Foundation award will support critical initiatives in two successful UHD programs and further our commitment to student success," said Johanna Wolfe, UHD Vice President for Advancement and External Relations.
Veterans Services will receive $25,000 to provide scholarships and professional development workshops. The Scholars Academy will receive $25,000 to support peer mentors and training for peer mentors working with students in the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, Wolfe said.
UHD has more than 400 veterans attending classes and a survey last year showed that nearly all of them are employed and more than half are working more than 40 hours a week. Of the grant award, $20,000 will be used for scholarships - 10 scholarships of $2,000 - and $5,000 will be used to provide career preparation workshops for veterans.
UHD's Scholars Academy is a nationally recognized, academically competitive program that promotes student success in STEM fields. Wolfe said, "The $25,000 Hamill Foundation award will be used to support 15 student peer mentors, a senior peer mentor, a peer mentor coordinator and a training workshop for peer mentors."

On Saturday night, March 11, I started a long-overdue conversation on the floor of the House.
For the past 14 years, New Mexico tried an experiment – we cut personal and corporate income taxes to see if jobs would flow into the state. The experiment failed. Jobs and people left the state. Revenues tumbled. Schools, public safety and infrastructure were decimated. And the tax burden rose sharply on lower- and middle-class wage earners.
Two states that have recently been in the news — Kansas and Minnesota — have both taken steps to fix the problem. In Minnesota, for example, personal income taxes were increased by 2 percent on the highest income earners, with dramatic results. Job growth is way up, the deficit has been eliminated and services have dramatically improved.
I proposed a modest tax increase – a 1 percent increase in taxes on those individuals making more than $306,000. This means that for every dollar in net income over $306,000, the taxpayer pays 1 cent. The money will help pay for better schools, better paid teachers and public safety.
The Republicans rejected the bill out of hand and defeated it on a technicality. Despite all the evidence in front of us, the Republicans continue to cling to the notion that somehow this will eventually work. It won't.
Just to be clear, the idea of tax cuts generating jobs started as a bipartisan effort. But now, 14 years later, we must admit that if tax cuts had worked, New Mexico should have been flooded with jobs. We cut personal income tax levels for the top 1 percent wage earners by nearly one-half. We cut corporate tax levels as well. And instead of creating jobs and generating revenue, the opposite has happened.
While arguing on the House floor for this modest tax increase, the Republicans proclaimed that it was the wealthy in our society that are the most productive, are the job creators and raising their taxes will cause them to move.
On these points, I could not disagree more strongly. Until I took this job as a legislator, I would have been considered part of the top 1 percent. I have friends who are part of the top 1 percent. We run small businesses. We hire local workers. We generate revenue for the state. I can tell you that most of us would agree to pay more in taxes if it meant that those dollars would lead to better services for everyone.
And as far as the wealthy being the most productive members of our state, tell that to the hard-working educators, construction workers, child-care providers, and so many more who keep our state running.
As for job creators leaving the state, our experience and that of other states leads to the exact opposite conclusion. If we raise taxes and wisely spend the revenue on creating excellent public schools and a first-class infrastructure supporting businesses, good jobs will follow.
What will work and what will make our state better is quality, not tax cuts.
It has taken a long time for this conversation to start. Hopefully it won't take as long for lawmakers to realize it is time to properly fund our schools, public safety efforts and roads.

Over the last twenty years I have been offering state of the art plastic surgery and good advice to the Southwest Florida residents, however until recently I was not able to affect their health. Many a patient came to me seeking a solution to the problem which they thought would be surgical. Their problem was that they were either overweight or downright obese and they did not need my help as a plastic surgeon but as a physician interested in their health. I recently lost 26 pounds and he has made a tremendous difference in how I feel and how I look and how others perceive my state of health. Tomorrow we will see our first patients in our clinic. My goal is not only to provide the method for them to lose weight in the incentive to keep them motivated to keep it off. My staff and I are committed to providing this service with chest as much enthusiasm as we have for our and spa services. If you know someone who has been struggling to lose weight and keep it off please have them consider a medically supervised weight management system. They can call our office and when get a medicine as possible and get them on the road to a healthier lifestyle.


Southern Bali has a beach for everyone, from the seemingly endless stretch of biscuit coloured sand stretching from backpacker hub Kuta, through trendy Seminyak, to the golden crescent and calm sea of Jimbaran Bay, the surf enclaves and stunning beaches of the Bukit Peninsula, and the low-key, laid back Sanur, which shakes off its retiree haven tag with one of the most happening kite-surfing spots on the island.
A stalwart on the luxury hotel scene is the town of Seminyak, which is home to some of the islands finest hotels and restaurants. It's also the expat home of choice, many of whom run fashion and interiors boutiques, or the latest organic-clean-food-clean-living café. Fronted by five miles of soft sand beach and rolling waves, Seminyak hosts some of seriously fiery sunsets, best enjoyed with a chilled Bintang or Mojito in hand. And if you're a 'long walks on the beach' kind of person you'll find plenty of roaming space here, though stray too far and you'll end up in the backpacker party scene of Kuta - you'll notice as the shorts get shorter and the singlet's sparser.
For a little more low-key beach break, the golden sand beaches of Jimbaran and Sanur are hard to beat. Jimbaran sits just south of the airport, meaning it's the quickest option for a flight to hotel flop, with some of our favourite hotels perched on the golden arc bay. The southern end of the beach hosts the famous Jimbaran pop up seafood restaurants each evening, for a fresh-off-the-line mahi mahi to be enjoyed with greasy fingers, a chilled beer and plastic seating. The beach at Sanur is protected by an offshore reef, so offers calm paddle-friendly water, as well as some charming boutique hotels.
At Bali's southern tip, you'll find the Bukit Peninsula, which is home to laid-back surf spots, and some of the islands most exclusive, cliff top hotels. This is the spot to lock yourself away in a luxury villa, but perhaps venture out to explore some of the picturesque surf spots and powdery sand beaches by day. Perhaps.
Some of Bali's most beautiful (and most visited) temples are tucked away in the South, including the cliff top Uluwatu temple, and the coastal temple of Tanah Lot, which is only accessible at low tide. It's also the spot to learn to surf, kite surf, or scuba dive with Mola Mola in our summer months.
After a day relaxing on Jimbaran Bay's golden sands, pad down to the southern end of the beach as the light starts to fade. Pull up a pew at a sunset-facing restaurant perfectly positioned for panoramic ocean views. Welcome in the evening with a sizzling seafood feast, toes sunk into the sand. Under flickering candlelight, tuck into barbecued lobster and prawns grilled on charcoaled coconut husks.
Head to the pristine Legian beach for a surfing lesson. It's the perfect place for novice surfers who can ride the long leisurely waves. Meet a savvy local pro who can suss out the best swells. With a soft sand floor, gentle sea breeze and long views of a palm-fringed shore, there couldn't be a more idyllic environment to try out a new sport.
When the daylight starts to fade, make your way to the 16th century Pura Tanah Lot, one of the seven sea temples dotted along Bali's coast. Arguably the most picturesque, its water-facing shrine is perfectly perched on a rocky outcrop sculpted from years of crashing waves. When the tide recedes, walk across the ocean floor to the base of this photogenic temple and lap up golden hour like never before.
My highlight: Indulging in fresh off-the-line seafood at the pop up Jimbaran Bay seafood restaurants, with my toes in the sand, and a cool beer in hand.

A tale of two caucuses
National leader Simon Bridges announced a minor reshuffle of portfolios yesterday:
"Paul Goldsmith will become the spokesperson for Finance and Infrastructure following today's announcement from Amy Adams that she will leave at the next election.
"Paul is the natural choice for the Finance role. He has done an outstanding job holding the Government to account in the Economic and Regional Development portfolio.
Shane Jones will be very happy with this change, though he shouldn't relax, the two taking over Paul's portfolios will be just as effective at holding the Minister to account.
"Regional and Economic Development will now be split across two spokespeople. Todd McClay will look after Economic Development, while Chris Bishop will take over the Regional Development and Transport portfolios.
"Chris has done a brilliant job as spokesperson for Police and deserves to take on more responsibility.
"Jo Hayes has been appointed the spokesperson for Māori Development and Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations following the departure of Nuk Korako. Jo is a passionate advocate for Māori.
"Gerry Brownlee will pick up the Foreign Affairs portfolio, Brett Hudson will take on the Police portfolio and Tim Macindoe will become the Shadow Attorney-General.
"Other changes include Michael Woodhouse as the Associate Finance spokesperson, Maggie Barry taking over the Disability Issues portfolio, Stuart Smith will be the spokesperson for Immigration, Todd Muller will be the spokesperson for Forestry, Nicola Willis will take on the Youth portfolio and our newest MP Paulo Garcia will become the Associate Foreign Affairs spokesperson.
"I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank both Amy Adams and Alastair Scott for their valuable contributions to the National Party and Parliament. Amy was a brilliant Minister across a range of portfolios. The changes she made to domestic violence laws as Justice Minister have made families in New Zealand safer. Amy has excelled as our Finance spokesperson and has been an outstanding member for Selwyn.
"Alastair should be proud of the work he has done to prevent drug driving, and for the way he has represented and advocated for the people of Wairarapa. I'm pleased they will be here for the rest of the term to help us form policies for the 2020 election.
"National is the largest and most effective Opposition this country has ever seen. I'm proud to lead such a talented and hardworking team."
This afternoon @simonjbridges announced a reshuffle of the National team, including @PaulGoldsmithMP as our new Finance Spokesperson. Here's a look at the changes! pic.twitter.com/yQqcSMIKNu
— NZ National Party (@NZNationalParty) June 25, 2019
There are no surprises there and there will probably be none in tomorrow's reshuffle of Cabinet but there is a major difference between the two caucuses – there's plenty of talent in National's with many MPs capable of becoming Ministers.
By contrast Labour's is a shallow pool and, as Barry Soper noted:
. . .The reshuffle will be minor because most of those who should be in Cabinet are already there. And the amount of time Ardern's taken getting around to shuffling the chairs just goes to show how hard leadership is for a person who clearly finds it hard to be hard. . .
Ardern doesn't have much to choose from and, if past form is a guide, will be reluctant to demote the poorest performers.

The following are some of the most common scams and tips to help prevent you from being victimised.
Aka Malware. You receive a call which suggests that your computer is running slow because of a virus and you are advised to log onto a site to fix this problem. In reality, logging onto the site allows the scammers to spread a virus onto your PC – and they then charge you an unlocking fee.
In these scams the victim is tricked into paying airfares and other "expenses" for their "date" to come meet them.
Paid work from home is advertised in a local newspaper, shop or on a lamppost offering the promise of fast cash for minimal effort. But you have to pay an up-front fee – perhaps for 'training material' – which never turns up.
In 2013 some victims ended up paying six figure sums to try to get hold of their non-existent "winnings".
If you use a pre-payment meter then a scammer may approach you to offer cut-price electricity. The scammer will then use cloned keys to top up energy credit illegally. Electricity companies don't get paid for energy used, and you end up paying for the energy twice – first to the fraudsters and then to the company at the correct rate.
Check that once you fill up the charity bag that is pushed through your door that all money actually go towards the appropriate charity.
Fraudsters cold call homes offering a loan and request upfront arrangement payment of usually around £100 by bank transfer. The loan never turns up – but the fees have been taken from your bank account!
'Vishing' involves a fraudster posing on the phone as someone from a bank, a fraud investigation team, the police or another legitimate organisation such as a telephone or internet provider. They attempt to get financial information which often includes card and bank account details, pin numbers, as well as information about the victim, such as their full name, date of birth and address, which they can then use to plunder the victim's account or commit identity fraud.
A seller will claim to have a pet and offer to ship it to you. The 'pets' are usually rare or sought-after breeds such as chihuahuas, English bulldogs and Yorkshire terriers. You pay the money up-front but the pet doesn't exist.
Don't get too excited if you get an email from [email protected] saying you're owed a tax rebate. These bogus emails are not from the HMRC – which would never inform you of a rebate via email – but from fraudsters trying to get hold of your bank details.


She was a truly wonderful person. She loved teaching and was always ready to help her students. She was a good friend to me for many years. I am so happy to see that she has been recognized for her contribution to her tribe and to her town.

Home Life Thanks to a life-changing assist from his brother, Bobby Hurley is back...
Thanks to a life-changing assist from his brother, Bobby Hurley is back in the NCAA Tournament
I didn't know if I'd ever see someone like Bobby Hurley in the NCAA Tournament again. This March, he's back.
By Andrew Pridgen
He was the Kid 'n Play Generation's answer to Maravich—punky and gaunt and off-putting—awkward to the point of believability. When Bobby Hurley initiated his dribble drive it's like the rest of the court became one of those wood labyrinth games where you try to work the four knobs to navigate the impossible.
Hurley, the evasive marble.
It wasn't just about handles for him, or the first step, or the no-look or the effortless floaters down low to the capable-in-the-clutch hands of Christian Laettner or Grant Hill or Thomas Hill; Hurley was like a chef, my JV basketball coach told me. He took ordinary ingredients and whipped up flavors nobody had ever tasted.
After willing Duke to back-to-back NCAA Tournament championships in the early '90s, a feat that hadn't happened since the Wizard of Westwood piloted his future NBA hall-of-famers Lew Alcindor and Bill Walton, Hurley seemed destined for some kind of revelatory NBA career. But the number-seven overall pick of the 1993 draft lasted only five seasons—four more than Hurley was told he would after he nearly bled out during a car crash his rookie year.
Hurley was driving his 4Runner home from a home game in Sacramento when he was broadsided by a house painter driving a station wagon. The point guard, who wasn't wearing his seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle and landed in a nearby drainage ditch. He suffered a severed trachea, a pair of collapsed lungs, five broken ribs, compression fractures in his back and a fractured left shoulder. He tore his right ACL, fractured his right fibula and sprained his wrist.
His surgeon said only one of 100 would survive the accident and none would play a professional sport again. Hurley did and Hurley would.
But it wasn't a comeback story: Hurley's career after the accident would be a series of footnotes and finding himself on the side of the bench opposite the scorer's table. How does one recover from being a game-changer when he's 19 to out of the game 25? The mind was there but the body, which should have been in its prime, wasn't. The chef no longer had his knives nor could command the ingredients to win.
And that's where Bobby Hurley's story should end. A Jeopardy answer. A highlight cutaway during a Sweet 16 Duke/UNC matchup. A mention on ESPN radio when the son turns to the father on the morning drop-off and asks, who?
But those who remember know Bobby was a prodigy of a basketball family and at the behest of father, Bob. Bob was not simply a high school basketball coach. Bob was the high school basketball coach. Bob led his teams, including his sons Bobby and Dan, at St. Anthony High School in Jersey City, New Jersey to 27 state championships and more than 1,000 wins in 39 seasons.
At least one son paid attention.
After the NBA, Bobby disappeared from the hard court for almost 20 years. In that time he did some scouting for the 76ers and dabbled in horse racing which led to foreclosure.
It was younger brother Dan—unable to fully ripen in the shadow of Bobby—who blossomed as he took over the family business.
After a notable college career at Seton Hall, Dan moved back to the bench as an assistant coach at Rutgers for four years. And then did the unexpected—he moved down. As head coach of Saint Benedict's Prep in New Jersey for nine years, Dan lost only 21 games. Like his father, he'd built an exceptional program that could sustain his family for decades to come. Thoughts of jumping back to the next level diminished with each passing season.
In the spring of 2010, Dan got an unexpected offer from Wagner College, a 2,100-student liberal arts school on Staten Island in need of a head coach. Dan was getting his shot to build a college program and he took a risk—not by uprooting his family—but by bringing his brother back to the game.
Bobby Hurley was "looking for a life preserver," Bob Sr. said at the time. Danny was there to offer an assist.
And why not? He grew up watching the best.
The last time we saw the brothers together on the court was almost two decades prior, in 1992. Dan would have a chance at facing down Bobby in the East Regional of the Tournament, only to be outworked and outlasted by the older brother and the eventual confetti shower-destined Blue Devils.
At Wagner, they synched up right away and after two years turning around the Seahawks, brother-coaches Dan and Bobby moved on to the University of Rhode Island. In March of 2013, Bobby was named head coach of the University at Buffalo.
This week the Buffalo Bulls—thanks to a Mid-American Conference Tournament championship victory Saturday ousting top-seeded Central Michigan 89-84—will return a Hurley to the NCAA Tournament.
This time, it's in loafers.
A quarter century later, Bobby Hurley is back in March. The prodigy. The victor. The battered. The broken. The broke. The prodigal son. The resolute. The chef who could make any flavor happen on the court manning the kitchen once more, knives flaring, six burners going, music blaring.
All rise.

Ongoing regulatory changes are likely to create further opportunities for unregulated capital
Spring is here, and with it, a more upbeat assessment of the prospects for real estate than the Sturm und Drang that prevailed at the start of 2016.
But in the post-financial crisis world, it is a regulator's job to be gloomy. Investors and lenders who believe in the risk of a downturn are unlikely to be as bearish as the scenario just published by the Bank of England which underlies its latest round of stress tests for the UK's seven most significant banks.
The Bank of England on Threadneedle Street, UK
Under the stress scenario for commercial real estate (CRE) lending, values in Europe's largest property market are assumed to fall 42 percent in aggregate and by an even more extreme 49 percent for prime assets. According to CBRE, which published a very good note on asset risk and stress testing on 4 April, this would translate into half of outstanding loans secured on prime properties, at LTVs down to as low as 60 percent, tipping into default.
The Bank's main concern around CRE, as described in the last Financial Stability Report published in December 2015, is the effect on UK values of a possible sudden reduction in liquidity from overseas investors.
Meanwhile, as reported in this column last week, other regulators are also keeping a beady eye on bank CRE loan books and their ability to withstand shocks. Non-UK banks not yet subject to standardised risk assessment models for their lending (slotting in the UK) feared this might be about to change. And it is. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision proposes to require banks to adopt a standard risk assessment model for their specialised lending (the category which includes real estate), rather than banks using their own IRB (internal ratings-based) models.
Assuming this goes through, it will have a further knock-on effect on the evolving relationship between heavily-regulated bank lenders and unregulated capital investing in debt, such as debt funds. The number of new CRE debt fund managers launching into the market may have slowed down to almost nothing, but that is not because opportunities to lend are drying up (notwithstanding lower levels of investment transactions so far this year).
Quite the contrary. For the managers which have established decent track records since they appeared on the scene after the financial crisis, there are opportunities to lend on deals which the banks can no longer finance, as well as to participate in financings alongside banks, sometimes in the portion of the capital stack where banks can't go. On the latter point, banks which would once have kept all their loans on balance sheet are increasingly managing their book much more intensively and debt funds are an important part of that. Look no further than the German banks' 2015 results published over the last few weeks, with their talk of targets to re-shape and syndicate sizeable portions of their books going forward.
One European debt fund manager commented that in the latest Basel regulation, they see a new opportunity coming down the track. Three years into real estate lending, this firm manages a debt fund and managed accounts, and seeks returns in the 10-13 percent ballpark.
So far they have lent mainly in the UK but expect to lend more in other European markets in future, as European banks become more, not less, restricted in their ability to lend. "We believe that what has happened to UK banks will come in France and in Germany. Those banks have not yet been affected to date in the way UK banks have and we see this a medium-term opportunity". They are unlikely to be the only debt fund which sees more regulation leading to more business.
