Newcastle United's Eddie Howe already under pressure as shadow of Rafa Benitez looms
Pressure is building on Eddie Howe. The Newcastle United manager takes his team to Elland Road tomorrow to face Leeds United desperately needing a win. The prospect of relegation is growing by the week. There are plenty of points still available and things can change quickly. St James' Park insiders were talking about the importance of beating fellow strugglers before the 1-1 draw with Watford last week, speaking in terms of a mini-league of the bottom five sides in the table. Leeds were very much in the mix at that point but two consecutive wins for Marcelo Bielsa's men changed...
Alan Shearer 'not having' Thomas Tuchel's reasoning for Brighton draw
Alan Shearer believes that Thomas Tuchel's claim that Chelsea's players are "tired" is no excuse for their poor form given the strength of the squad at the German's disposal.A draw at Brighton on Tuesday evening was Chelsea's seventh in their last 13 Premier League games, a run that has seen them fade from the title race.Tuchel said afterwards that his players need "some days off" having been left fatigued by a busy period.However Shearer, casting his eye over an impressive away bench at the Amex Stadium, believes that Tuchel is in no place to complain, and that fatigue was not...

Watford and Norwich running out of time in Premier League survival fight
If you were a Premier League manager facing relegation, what would you prefer: points on the board or games in hand? In the case of Watford and Norwich City, it is a question that will be weighted heavily by the outcome of Friday night's meeting at Vicarage Road.

Audi & BMW continue to be the front runners in the small executive lease market segment. There constantly improving the specifications and extras on the cars to make them more attractive to you the customer.
There is an Olympian strength to the four interlocking rings on the Audi badge, you can be in doubt that you are Leasing a level of solidity not even the Japanese can beat. The Audi range is within the top 3 luxury carmakers all coming out of Germany. Its unique sell point along with its slogan is that Audi is the "Truth in Engineering".
Leasing has many advantages one of the main ones being that you can replace your vehicle with a new one every 2-4 years depending on the contract you sign up too.
One of the main reasons companies lease is that they do not hold any equity in the car, they return the vehicle after 2-4 years and all they have paid is a monthly finance cost over the contract period. There are little or no benefits to holding equity in your car as cars depreciate quickly and so the sell on price is greatly reduced.
When you lease a vehicle or vehicles, your payment is made up of the cost of the vehicle at the start of the lease, less the value of the vehicle at the end of your contract. Mileage allowances will play a big part here as a vehicle that returns after 3 years with 100,000 Kilometres will be worth significantly more than a vehicle return after the same period with 250,000 Kilometres on the meter. The average mileage of company vehicles in Ireland is 60,000 Kilometres per annum.
There is also VAT relief available for companies that lease their vehicles. Since the Finance Act of 2008, the Revenue provides that any accountable persons (i.e. the company) can deduct up to 20% of the VAT incurred in the respect of purchasing and hiring vehicles. Terms & Conditions apply.
For companies who buy new cars every 2 to 3 years leasing will allow them to lower their payments or to drive a more expensive car with a monthly payment similar to a less-expensive car.

Man assaulted and killed in Merced
New Keyword
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Merced police have identified the victim of a stabbing in Merced as 45-year-old Robert Gonzales.
"It's just tragic," said John Dacuyan, a friend of the victim. "He was a really good guy, and I knew him since we were kids."
Dacuyan and his wife Pam visited the Walgreens parking lot at 16th and R Street Wednesday morning after learning their longtime friend, Robert Roman Gonzales, took his last breath here.
John said they went to elementary and high school together in Atwater before both playing football at Merced college. Gonzalez also attended the couple's wedding. "He was always involved in activities and hanging out with friends and stuff. He was funny, always making jokes," Pam said.
Friends said Gonzales was also a proud father, but had fallen on hard times recently. The couple said they weren't sure what Gonzales was doing just after 1 a.m. Wednesday when police say at least three male suspects attacked him near the busy intersection. "It's like a nightmare, you know," Pam said. "To think of your friend struggling and to be attacked by people that want to do harm to him."
Detectives believe it all started outside the Mexican restaurant across the street, and ended with Gonzales being stabbed several times near Walgreens. He died at the scene, and the killers took off before officers arrived.
"We're trying to make a determination were they on foot, were they in a vehicle of what," said Capt. Bimley West of the Merced Police Department
The Dacuyans said they wish they could have helped their friend before it was too late. "Me and pam are more than willing to help somebody," John said. "And just to find out that my brother is sitting here lying in the street dead, it just bothers me."
Police stated there are several surveillance cameras from businesses in the area where the attack happened. Detectives are hoping that will give them leads on the suspects. Gonzales's friends are also making a plea for anyone with information to contact police.

Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act (RCA); Meetings
AGENCY: Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Department of
Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice of public meetings.
SUMMARY: NRCS will hold public meetings to gather stakeholder input on
important natural resource concerns and program approaches to address
these natural resource concerns in the next decade.
On June 22, 2008, Congress reauthorized the RCA, 16 U.S.C. 2001-
2009, through amendments in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of
2008 (Pub. L. 110-246). In the reauthorization, Congress extended RCA
through 2018 and called for the first report to be delivered to
Congress by January 2011. RCA provides USDA with broad strategic
assessment and planning authority and calls for the development of a
national program to guide USDA activities for the conservation,
protection, and enhancement of soil, water, and related natural
resources. Through RCA, USDA appraises the status and trends of soil,
water, and related resources on non-Federal land, assesses their
capability to meet present and future demands, evaluates current and
needed programs, policies, and authorities, and develops a national
soil and water conservation program to give direction for USDA soil and
water conservation activities.
Public participation is a central element of the RCA process. USDA
will hold listening sessions to provide the public with an opportunity
to comment on conservation priorities, program approaches, future
conservation needs, and opportunities to improve the appraisal process.


My prediction is he gets pulled from the game in the 6th inning with a stomach virus.
Hahaha, yes good points. I forgot about the stupid 6:10 start time to the Saturday night games. I guess for his sake and the Reds it's a good thing the game starts at 8.
So Sunday he's a head case?
Sunday he'll pull a Mickey Mantle and hit two Titanic Homeruns while hung over.
The Reds game will be over by at least halftime is my prediction...my main prediction is that Dunn won't leave the ballpark until well after 1 AM....just my thoughts.
The sad thing is........we all could see Dunn leaving the game tonight in the sixth with a "stomach ailment."
I think he'll get to see a couple UT touchdowns between innings.
It worked for Babe Ruth, right?


Was Liam Payne Searching For Aliens At Machu Picchu?
Pictures of Liam Payne and Harry Styles frolicking around Machu Picchu like a pair of new-born lambs were met with breathless delight and starry-eyed wonder this week, but was there a more covert reason for Liam Payne and his One Direction band-mate visiting this legendary 15th-century Inca site?
There's been a lot made of Liam Payne taking a break from the South Marecian leg of One Direction's 'Where We Are' tour and finding his center at Machu Picchu, but was Liam really hoping to make alien contact on his leisurely jaunt with Harry Styles, as the merry pair journeyed up the mystical mountain and through the mists of time?
It's not as bizarre as it sounds. We all know Liam Payne, not unlike many famous boy-band members of yesteryear, is something of a philosopher on a spiritual quest for truth and understanding. And Liam's choice of location for a fun day out with his best mate Styles was rather suspect when one considers the extraterrestrial connotations which have long surrounded Machu Picchu.
Pictures of Liam Payne looking spiritual and thoughtful at Machu Picchu would seem to suggest the site holds special significance for Liam who is often considered the deepest and most complicated member of One Direction.
Compared with Harry Styles, who looks somewhat like a bored extra in a Spaghetti Western, Liam Payne appears to be actually mediating in the mountains. Could it be that Liam was attempting to tune into a higher state of consciousness and connect with any alien life-forms who might have been lurking in the vicinity that day.
As much as we wouldn't want to second guess a complex geezer like Liam Payne, was Liam wondering, like so many brave truth-seekers before him, just how the pre-Columbian Inca people once built such a stunning city.
No doubt, like any ancient astronaut enthusiast worth his salt, Liam Payne would have pondered on many a moonlight hour, just where the Incas gained the knowledge and tools to build such a city so high above sea level.
And like many a visitor to this high and lonely place, Liam Payne would have reflected in a deep wonderment and nagging curiosity that the city was eventually abandoned, but why Liam?
Who knows! If Liam Payne had been seeking signs of alien inhabitation at Machu Picchu, it's doubtful if he found any. Yet the site obviously had an overwhelming effect on young Liam. In one picture he can be seen standing on high, with his eyes firmly shut, arms outstretched, as if he's embracing the very cosmos that he obviously feels such a deep connection to.
The truth is out there Liam Payne, and there's only One Direction in which to find it.


Due to overconsumption, nitrogen in protein form is slowly disappearing from the food chain. With a smarter livestock system and a different way of eating meat, people are trying to turn the tide.
We only have one Earth and it is slowly dawning on us that it is a finite resource. In all sorts of areas we are reaching the limits of our once so resilient planet. In Nature magazine, environmental scientists recently attempted to calculate what our biggest ultimate threat is.
The answer they came up with was the disappearance of plants and animal species, the decline in biodiversity. The second biggest threat is the loss of the nitrogen cycle. We haven't heard so much about that yet, compared to what we hear about CO2, climate change, plastic waste, and occasionally the shortage of phosphate for fertilizer. So what is the problem with nitrogen? Marieke Bruins is a specialist on the nitrogen cycle and is happy to explain.
"Supplies of the element nitrogen are not easily exhausted. The air is full of it. But this problem concerns a particular form of nitrogen: the nitrogen that is fixed in proteins, the building blocks for all terrestrial life, both plant and animal. Leguminous crops such as beans and peas can fix nitrogen from the air (with the help of certain bacteria) and make protein out of it. Other plants get their nitrogen from fertilizer, natural or artificial.
The underlying idea is that the resilience and shock-resistance of the livestock system will be increased. That we would rather eat beef than beans is not the only reason the nitrogen cycle is under pressure. Currently we import huge amounts of soya as an important source of protein for livestock. The soya industry is a burden on the rain forest and transports commodities across big distances, such as from Brazil to the Netherlands.
Grass mixed with clover provides more protein per kilogram.
Marieke Bruins works on this research with a team of WUR scientists in the field of a sustainable and profitable livestock sector.

Second law analysis of heat transfer in swirling flow of Bingham fluid by a rotating disk subjected to suction effect
This framework presents heat transfer analysis for swirling flow of viscoplastic fluid bounded by a permeable rotating disk. Problem formulation is made through constitutive relations of Bingham fluid model. Viscous dissipation effects are preserved in the mathematical model. Entropy production analysis is made which is yet to be explored for the von-Kármán flow of non-Newtonian fluids. Having found the similarity equations, these have been dealt numerically for broad parameter values. The solutions are remarkably influenced by wall suction parameter (A) and Bingham number (Bn) which measures the fluid yield stress. Akin to earlier numerical results, thermal boundary layer suppresses upon increasing wall suction velocity. Thermal penetration depth is much enhanced when fluid yield stress becomes large. Higher heat transfer rate can be accomplished by employing higher suction velocity at the disk. However, deterioration in heat transfer is anticipated as fluid yield stress enlarges. Current numerical results are in perfect line with those of an existing article in limiting sense.

A spotter's guide to Washington's new political landscape
By Roland Flamini
It should come as no surprise that it's turning out to be harder to put Donald Trump back in the bottle than it was to release him from it for his fractious one term as president.
The narrative of the recent election has had to compete with the antics of a soon-to-be-former president determined to overstay his welcome. In rejecting the reality of Joe Biden's victory, he's been a sore loser, raising the bar of Trump petulance to new levels.
More disturbing, though, are the signs that he plans to set himself up as the lunatic fringe of American politics in the hope of keeping alive the flame of his core support for a return bid in 2024.
It took two and a half spiteful weeks before Trump was willing to loosen his grip on the transition mechanism that allows the president-elect and his team full access to the cooperation every incoming presidential team is entitled to, and normally gets.
But long before the final victory, the Biden campaign had been quietly shaping the team that will help the president-elect guide the nation's destiny for the coming four years. As a result, in spite of Trump's obstructionism, Biden's key Cabinet members and many of his White House staff were named in record time—before Trump's in 2016, and Barack Obama's in 2012.
Foreign policy analyst Max Boot described Biden's Cabinet nominations as "centrist, mainstream figures with great credibility on both sides of the aisle" with "decades of [Washington] experience." Inevitably, former Obama appointees make up a backbone of the list, but the real common thread is a shared personal connection with Joe Biden in the U.S. Senate or as vice president, in some cases going back decades.
Secretary of State-designate Tony Blinken's close ties with Biden stretch back nearly two decades. Former Secretary of State John Kerry, Biden's new Special Climate Envoy, and the president-elect have been fellow senators, and close friends for years.
That's a huge contrast from the collection of billionaire neophytes with zero government experience in Trump's Cabinet, and the short-lived platoon of generals he sweet-talked into serving in the administration until reality set in, and each one parted company on anything but cordial terms.
Biden's top foreign policy and security appointments are focused on the urgent need to mend broken fences with long time allies, and restore confidence in the United States' historic role as a global leader. Getting to grips with the coronavirus pandemic, and repairing the nation's battered economy, are obviously two domestic priorities.
But in discussing his appointees, Biden has said he expects them to speak truth to power. It seems that the days of two different and contradictory narratives about the world, and about America, with very little overlap, only one of which is true, are over in Washington.
Our list of the Biden-Harris team below combines appointed or nominated members of the Biden-Harris team and the strongest candidates mentioned for the remaining posts.
Potential Cabinet
Jennifer Granholm - Energy
Michael Regan - Environmental Protection Agency
Kamala Harris - Vice President
Jeh Johnson - Justice
Anthony (Tony) Blinken - State
Lloyd Austin - Defense
Janet Yellen - Treasury
Marcia Fudge - Housing and Urban Development
Deb Haaland - Interior
Pete Buttigieg - Transportation
Denis McDonough - Veterans Affairs
Xavier Becerra - Health and Human Services
Alejandro Mayorkas - Homeland Security
Andrew Yang - Commerce
Tom Vilsack - Agriculture
Linda Thomas-Greenfield - United Nations
Randi Weingarten - Education
Katherine Tai - U.S. Trade Rep
Andy Levin - Labor
Neera Tanden - Director, Office of Management and Budget
Two-term governor of Michigan Jennifer Granholm will be a key figure in one of the major programs on which Biden is hanging the success of his administration - the $2 trillion switch from carbon emissions to clean energy projects over the next 15 years. Granholm has good relations with Michigan's auto industry, which should help with a plan that includes a shift in emphasis to electric cars, and the construction of a vehicle charging network. Little known fact: As Energy Secretary, Granholm will be responsible for maintaining the U.S. nuclear weapons arsenal, a task that's the main item on the department's budget.
Biden has named Michael Regan, North Carolina's environment secretary, to initiate ambitious climate action at an agency fractured and demoralized by the Trump administration's efforts to roll back environmental and pollution regulations. Regan will be the first Black administrator of the EPA, but he had worked there previously for nearly a decade on air quality issues during the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations
Having been unsuccessful in her own presidential bid, Kamala Harris, the former California Senator, stepped into a promising position as the running mate of a virtually certain one-term president – and with the prospect of a bumbling Donald Trump as her challenger, and the Republican Party in disarray. What with Covid and an ailing economy, the Biden-Harris team faces a challenging two years. Barring mishaps, Harris now would seem to have a clear run in 2024.
Jeh Johnson, now an attorney in private practice, was Secretary of Homeland Security in the Obama administration from 2013-2017. He has also held Pentagon posts under earlier presidencies, notably under-secretary for defense policy, and general counsel. In the latter post he wrote the report that led to the repeal by Congress of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in the armed forces.
Blinken, a seasoned senior diplomat and long-time confidant of the President-elect will play a key role in Biden's policy of restoring relations with U.S. allies, alienated by Donald Trump. Blinken's career as a foreign policy and security specialist has included senior posts in the State Department, the Security Council, and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the latter when Biden was chair.
Retired Army Gen. Lloyd Austin will, if confirmed, be the first Black secretary of defense following a solid career including head of CENTCOM, the U.S. Central Command responsible for operations in the Middle East, Afghanistan, and parts of South Asia. Austin was the first Black general to command an Army division in combat. Some lawmakers object to Austin's appointment because it would break the tradition of a civilian as defense secretary, but reports said Black advocacy groups lobbied hard for a Black nominee to head the key cabinet post.
Biden's nominee has never worked at the Treasury Department but has years of experience as a regulator and economist. Unusual for a Treasury chief, she has been chair of the Fed, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and senior economic adviser to President Bill Clinton. Her first and most urgent challenge is to deal with the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic in all its damaging ramifications.
Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio), has been a member of the House since 2008 and serves on various committees. She was chair of the 2016 Democratic Convention. National Public Radio reported that the incoming administration recognized Fudge's "track record championing affordable housing and urban revitalization, and her ideas for addressing poverty and issues of equality."
Rep Deb Haaland (D-NM), is a member of the Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico. Her appointment to administer 500 million acres of surface land, including 1.7 million acres of U.S. coastline, is a historic first for the Department, and a fulfillment of Biden's campaign pledge to "ensure tribes have a seat at the table at the highest levels of the federal government."
Pete Buttigieg, the former presidential candidate at the opposite end of the age gap from President-elect Biden in the 2020 campaign has been picked to run the Transportation Department in the new administration. If confirmed, Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind. would, at 38, be one of the youngest cabinet members in history. But that distinction is overshadowed by the fact that Buttigieg is also the first openly gay cabinet secretary. The appointment gives him a key role in ambitious areas of Biden's agenda, including rebuilding the nation's infrastructure, and the suppression of fossil fuels in the fight against climate change. It also boosts his political identity for a future presidential bid.
In 2014, from his White House post as Obama's chief of staff, Denis McDonough was responsible for untangling the massive wait-time for treatment crisis at Veterans Affairs. With that troubled department facing a new scandal, President-elect Biden has once again called on McDonough to confront it - this time first-hand as the VA's new secretary. If confirmed by the Senate, McDonough, 51, would be just the second non-veteran to lead the agency.
Xavier Becerra, California's State Attorney General was Biden's surprise pick to oversee the ongoing battle against the Covid pandemic, the incoming administration's most urgent challenge. Becerra served in Congress for 20 years, representing downtown Los Angeles. As attorney general Becerra sued the Trump administration 82 times, including on environmental issues, and in defense of Obamacare.
Cuban American Alejandro Mayorkas is the father of the D.A.C.A. program (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). He developed it as director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and was deputy secretary of Homeland Security in the Obama administration.
Andrew Yang caught public attention as an articulate rival to Biden in the 2020 Democratic race. At the heart of his economic program was a plan to provide every U.S. citizen with $1,000 a month as basic income. He was also a strong advocate of raising standards in math and science teaching. His campaign slogan was MATH, or "Make America Think Harder."
Tom Vilsack's nomination to lead the Department of Agriculture is a homecoming. He held the top job at USDA throughout the eight years of the Obama administration. Biden is said to regard him as a safe pair of hands at a difficult time in the agriculture sector, hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic and in need of strong government support. Another possible reason is that rural American has a strong, stubborn pro-Trump streak and needs to be won back.
In appointing Linda Thomas-Greenfield, a 35-year veteran senior diplomat, Biden is reaching out to the African nations that had felt neglected by the Trump administration, and at the same time the president-elect is making good on his pledge to name a diverse cabinet. Thomas-Greenfield was assistant secretary of state for African affairs from 2013-2017.
Randi Weingarten is the long-time head of the American Federation of Teachers, a strong defender of the public school system – and its reform.
Katherine Tai is a trade lawyer with years of expertise in trade negotiations with China. If confirmed, she will be the first woman of color to lead the U.S. Trade Representative's office. Tai is currently chief Democratic trade counsel for the House Ways and Means Committee, but from 2007-2017 she was a forceful lawyer in dealing with China trade issues in the U.S. Representative's office. Her appointment is seen as confirmation of Biden's campaign commitment to be tough in his dealings with China.
Rep. Andy Levin (D-Mich) an organizer with labor unions, he had the support of several major groups, including the United Auto Workers.
Neera Tanden is either another member of Biden's strong economics team or "a sacrifice to the confirmation gods," as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) described her nomination. The CEO of the liberal think tank Center for American Progress, Tanden could run into confirmation problems in part because "she has used Twitter to regularly criticize President Trump and Republican lawmakers," according to the Wall Street Journal.
Ron Klain - Chief of Staff
Jen O'Malley Dillon - Deputy Chief of Staff
Jake Sullivan - National Security Advisor
Avril Haines - Director, National Intelligence
Susan Gordon - Director, CIA
John Kerry - Climate Advisor
Jen Psaki - Press Secretary
Kate Bedingfield - Director of Communications
Cecilia Rouse - Chairman, Council of Economic Advisors
Brian Deese - Director, National Economic Council
Dana Remus - White House Counsel
Mike Donilon - Senior Advisor to the President
Steve Ricchetti - Counselor to the President
Julie Chavez Rodriguez - Director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs
Cedric Richmond - Senior Advisor and Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement
Ron Klain has a long history as a close Biden staffer. He was Biden's chief of staff in the Obama-Biden administration, and before that, chief counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee when Biden served as its chairman. He was an advisor on Biden's two previous presidential attempts in 1988 and 2008. He first came to public attention when President Obama made him his Ebola czar.
Jen O'Malley Dillon, the first woman to manage a victorious Democratic presidential campaign. That distinction has earned her rare admission to Biden's inner team as manager of White House operations.
Jake Sullivan was Biden's national security adviser during Barack Obama's second term. He was also one of a small group of U.S. officials who met secretly with Iranian officials in 2013 to lay the groundwork for the historic nuclear deal Trump cancelled and President-elect Biden is expected to revive through re-negotiation.
Avril Haines once ran a bookstore cafe which held monthly readings of erotic literature, but her first connection with President-elect Joe Biden came later, in 2007, when she served as deputy chief counsel to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee when he was chairman. She has also been deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency and deputy national security advisor to President Obama.
Sue Gordon was one of the many casualties of Trump's running feud with the intelligence community. She resigned as the deputy director of national intelligence after Trump failed to give her the top job. But most of her intelligence career had been in the Central Intelligence Agency where, over 25 years she held various senior posts but is best known for developing the CIA's technology, including its cyber operations.
Former Senator, Secretary of State (and former presidential candidate) John Kerry will be Biden's Climate czar, with, for the first time, a seat on the National Security Council. Biden's high profile choice underlines his determination to advance climate change policy. As secretary of state, Kerry negotiated U.S. membership of the Paris Climate Accord, subsequently canceled by Trump. Kerry is expected to re-join.
As White House press secretary, Jen Psaki "will become the face of the new Biden administration," as the Washington Post put it. She is currently a key aide in the transition team. Under Obama, Psaki held various communications posts in the White House and was spokesperson for John Kerry when he was secretary of state.
Kate Bedingfield is a long-time Biden aide who served as his communications director when he was vice-president and held the same position in the Biden-Harris campaign. She moved to politics from an earlier career in showbiz as the vice president of corporate communications at the Disrtrict-based Motion Picture Association of America.
Cecilia Rouse, a prominent economist, was a member of the Council in the Obama administration and served in the National Economic Council under Bill Clinton. She is currently dean of the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.
Brian Deese is the president's top economic advisor, tasked with implementing Biden's economic agenda. It's familiar territory for the Council's former deputy director during the Obama administration, who later became a senior advisor to the president, with climate change and energy issues as his main areas of responsibility.
Earlier in her career, Dana Remus clerked for conservative-leaning Justice Samuel Alito, but since then she has worked in the Obama White House (Obama officiated her wedding in 2018), and was an early member of the Biden campaign. She will lead the Counsel's office in the inevitable battles to achieve his agenda.
Mike Donilon, the quintessential Biden veteran, is said to have been the main shaper of the presidential campaign as a Biden-Trump contest of character. In the White House, the New York Times said recently, he will be "the defender of the Biden brand."
Steve Richetti "inherits" an office made notorious by its most recent holder, Kellyanne Conway. But the close Biden confidante is expected to spend much of his time advising the president, and none of it spinning Conway-style "alternative facts."
Californian Julie Chavez Rodriguez is a crossover from Kamala Harris' office where she was co-national political director and, later, travelling chief of staff.
Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) brings generational and racial diversity to the Biden White House. At 47, he will be one of the youngest senior staff members and will also be one of the administration's highest-ranking Black officials.
Covid-19 Team
Anthony Fauci - Chief Medical Advisor
Vivek Murthy - Surgeon General
Rochelle Walensky - Director of CDC
Marcella Nunez-Smith - Chair of the Equity Task Force
Jeff Zients - Coordinator
Natalie Quillian - Deputy Coordinator
Anthony Fauci, leading expert on infectious diseases and adviser to six U.S. presidents. The Washington Post calls Fauci "a national symbol of sound medical advice" on the Covid-19 pandemic.
Vivek Murphy, is reprising his role as U.S. Surgeon General, having held the post in two Obama administrations.
Rochelle Walensky, appointed Director of the Centers for Disease Control Prevention, is recognized internationally for her work to improve HIV screening and care in Africa.
She is director of Yale's Equity Research and Innovation Center created to address inequities in health and health care.
No stranger to the White House, he held different economic posts in the Obama-Biden chair of the administration.
Tina Flournoy - Chief of Staff
Nancy McEldowney - National Security Advisor
Symone Sanders - Spokesperson to the Vice President
Ashley Etienne - Communications Director to the Vice President
Tina Flournoy, an operative with decades of Washington experience, but since 2013 the chief-of-staff of former President Bill Clinton. Flournoy also worked on Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
Nancy McEldowney is a former diplomat who was U.S. Ambassador to Bulgaria, and later director of the Foreign Service Institute. She is currently academic administrator at Georgetown University.
Symone Sanders transitioned from the Bernie Sanders 2016 presidential campaign to the Biden-Harris campaign a year later. Sanders has been a consultant and an activist for juvenile justice reform, serving as a member of the Federal Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice.
Ashley Etienne was communications director to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, the first woman and first person of color appointed to that post. She took the job on the advice of the legendary Rep. Elijah Cummings, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform where Etienne was communications director. She previously served as special assistant to the president in the Obama White House.
East Wing
Julissa Reynoso Pantaleón - Chief of Staff to the First Lady
Elizabeth Alexander - Communications Director to the First Lady
Anthony Bernal - Senior Adviser to the First Lady
Mala Adiga - Policy Director to the First Lady
Carlos Elizondo - Social Secretary
Julissa Reynoso Pantaleón was born in the Dominican Republic, came to the United States at the age of seven and grew up in the Bronx. A lawyer currently with Winston & Strawn LLP, she is a graduate of Harvard, the University of Cambridge and Columbia Law School.
Elizabeth Alexander is a Biden veteran from way back. Prior to her time as a senior advisor to the Biden-Harris campaign, she was Vice President Biden's press secretary and previously his communications director as U.S. senator. But she has also been a staffer to Senate Minority Leader Sen. Charles Schumer and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
Anthony Bernal has been a member of Jill Biden's staff in various capacities for several years, mainly responsible for her travel arrangements and engagements. Throughout the presidential election campaign, he was her deputy chief-of-staff.
Mala Adiga was senior policy advisor to the Biden-Harris campaign while also advising Jill Biden. Her ties with the Bidens go back to the Obama administration, where she held senior positions at the State Department and the Department of Justice.
For Carlos Elizondo, the appointment as White House social secretary is a natural progression from the same position he had with the Bidens through eight years of the Obama-Biden administration.
Biden Inner Circle
Edward (Ted) Kaufman
Valerie Biden Owens
Bruce Reed
Ted Kaufman was Joe Biden's chief-of-staff in the U.S. Senate from 1976 to 1995 and in 2008 was named to succeed Biden as Democratic senator from Delaware after Biden was elected vice-president. A year later, Kaufman chose not to run for the seat and returned to his old role as Biden's adviser.
Biden's younger sister, has been his campaign manager since his first U.S. Senate bid in 1972, including six subsequent re-elections that kept him there. A recent profile in Vogue magazine calling her "the Joe Biden whisperer" captures her closeness to the president-elect.
Bruce Reed, whose affiliation with the top Democratic leadership goes back to speechwriting for Vice President Al Gore, was a top White House policy advisor in both the Clinton and Obama administrations. He will have the same role in the Biden White House, focusing on economics.

Most modern cars come equipped with power steering, but as systems age they can wear out. Problems with alignment or the power steering pump can also cause the power steering system to stop working. Follow the simple tips and techniques below to diagnose your power steering problem.
Check the power steering fluid level. If there's not enough fluid, it'll be hard to make turns. Unscrew the cap of the power steering pump and check the fluid level. If it's not full, buy power steering fluid from your local automotive supply store and refill the pump. If you have to add fluid frequently, you may have a leak.
Inspect the hoses and lines around the power steering pump for possible leaks.
Lift the front end of the car with a jack. Check the seals of the rack and pinion for leaks. If you have an older car, you may have a recirculating ball unit to check instead.
Check for loose belts. Have someone turn on the engine and turn the steering wheel while you listen for any noise coming from the pump. A screechy, loud sound indicates a loose belt that needs adjustment.
If none of these steps pinpoints a problem, a mechanic can raise your car up on a lift or ramp to check for problems under the car. A mechanic can also look for problems within the steering column itself.

Profile of MARA Alumna Amanda Stowell
MARA Blog September 14, 2016
Published: September 14, 2016 by Anna Maloney
While finishing up a museum archives internship in the Portland area, Amanda Stowell, '16 MARA, was hired on as the first-ever records administrator of ESCO Corporation, a multinational manufacturer of mining equipment with a corporate history dating to 1903.
With her newly minted master's degree in hand, Stowell found herself the custodian of over 100 years of records. She describes the state of the records at ESCO as a "worst case scenario." But the daunting nature of this assignment has not quelled her unabashed enthusiasm for records management.
Before she started in the MARA program, Stowell was a retail manager with an undergraduate degree in social and behavioral sciences, looking for a master's program that would enrich her professionally while allowing her to continue to work full time. An MBA seemed too broad and uninspired, and an MLIS didn't quite align with her interests. It was while browsing information on SJSU's iSchool website that Stowell found a page dedicated to specialized tracks. After reading about the online Master of Archives and Records Administration degree, she decided that it could be just the thing she was looking for. Two weeks into her first semester, her hunch was confirmed. Despite being a self-described "procrastinator," Stowell approached each MARA course and INFO elective with a positive attitude and a willingness to work hard—especially when assignment deadlines were fast approaching.
In the six weeks since she started in her new role at ESCO, Stowell has been focusing on two major projects: recalling everything from off-site storage for review and locating all of the "hidden records" scattered in offices and filing cabinets across the Portland campus. Although corporate leadership had developed a thorough retention schedule, when they saw the bill for off-site storage they realized they needed a full-time, dedicated records administrator. So, how does Stowell correct more than 100 years of records mismanagement?
First, she draws from her experience in retail management, where she learned skills ranging from organization and communication to training and development. Second, she draws from her education, keeping textbooks and completed assignments (like the Information Governance Program plan she created in MARA-284-11) close at hand. Third, and perhaps most importantly, Stowell draws from the community of support she has cultivated, including records management professionals, ARMA associates, and her former MARA professors. Instructor Jason Kaltenbacher, who teaches MARA 204 and MARA 210 in addition to serving as the Global Records Manager for Nike, had coffee with Stowell before she started with ESCO, giving her guidance on creating site-specific records policies for an international organization. Dr. Lisa Daulby and Dr. Pat Franks are also willing mentors, reliably responding when Stowell emails them with questions.
When speaking with Stowell, her passion for her new position as records administrator was evident in her thorough, animated responses. Although it will be a while before she is ready to unroll a global records and information management policy at ESCO, she undoubtedly has the spirit and the resources to get there.

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew visits the new mayor of Constantinople, Ekrem Imamoglu
Print Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew visits the new mayor of Constantinople, Ekrem Imamoglu
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew met with the new Mayor of the Metropolitan City Council, Ekrem Imamoglu, in the Mayoral Hall on Thursday, 4 July, and congratulated him on his recent election.
His All-Holiness wished that Mayor Imamoglu, on behalf of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and his homeland, would be successful in his multifaceted work and would contribute during his term of office to improving the quality of life in the developing urban fabric of the Metropolitan Municipality, with the implementation of more environmental and social policies, to the benefit of all the inhabitants of the city.
During their heartfelt discussion, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew referred in particular to the importance and magnitude of the institution of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, which has always been based in this historic city, and also to the initiatives of the Ecumenical Throne to sensitize every human being of good will to the need for protection of the natural environment, as well as to promote interfaith and intercultural dialogue with a view toward mutual understanding, respect for diversity, and the peaceful coexistence of human beings of different origins and religious beliefs.
After the meeting, the Ecumenical Patriarch said, among other things, that with his visit, he wanted to congratulate the new mayor for his election. It was particularly important that the Ecumenical Patriarchate, which is the Center for Orthodoxy, is in the multicultural and multi-religious city, and he pointed out that this is not only a religious foundation, but an institution that has made a significant cultural contribution over time. He expressed the certainty that the new mayor, who is a man of good intentions, will work for all citizens without discrimination.
"I convey the prayers of the Patriarchate and the Homeland for success in your work," His All-Holiness said.
For his part, Mayor Imamoglu expressed his joy at the visit of the Patriarch and stressed that he would attach great importance to the cultural dimension of the city, and that he would soon take initiatives to implement this commitment. He underlined the fact that the Ecumenical Patriarchate, a leading institution in the world, is based in the city, and announced that he intends to create a body that will deal with and cooperate with all the religions of the city.
It should be recalled that in recent months, Mr. Imamoglu, accompanied by his colleagues, twice visited the Ecumenical Patriarchate, where he was received by His All-Holiness.

Investigators looking for a man, or possibly two men, who impersonated a police officer and sexually assaulted two women are reminding people that any real officer will tell you his or her name and law enforcement agency.
Ask for the officer's credentials.
Always look for a badge and inspect it if you can.
Look for a state seal on the officer's credentials.
You can always call 911 to verify the officer's credentials or ask for a uniformed officer in a marked squad car before cooperating.
Both Anoka County and Minneapolis police continue to investigate the two incidents.
The first happened in Fridley on Saturday. Sommer says a woman was walking to her car in the 6400 block of 5th Street NE when a man in a dark-colored SUV approached her and said he was a police officer. He then kidnapped the woman and assaulted her.
A similar incident happened Sunday near the University of Minnesota.
According to a crime alert issued by the U of M, a student was walking home alone when a man, who wore a dark jacket with a badge, offered her a ride home. After the victim got inside the car, the suspect locked the doors, took her somewhere and assaulted her, authorities said.
Anoka County authorities believe the two incidents are likely related. Anoka County plans to release a composite sketch of the suspect in the Fridley attack this week.

Tropical Cyclone Hola Update - 11/3/2018
By Meteorologists, Andy Best and April Clark
This blog is a look at what has changed from yesterdays update which can be found at https://blog.metservice.com/node/1179 on this blog site. You can find further information on the Tropical cyclone page at http://bit.ly/TropicalCycloneActivity
CURRENT STATUS OF CYCLONE ACTIVITY
Tropical Cyclone Hola (971hPa, Category 3) was analysed near 21.4S 169.0E (near the Loyalty Islands of New Caledonia) at 1300 New Zealand time this afternoon and is moving southeast at 14 knots.
Tropical Cyclone Hola is expected to track southwards and start to gradually weaken as well as move out of the tropics on Sunday.The system is expected to undergo extra-tropical transition as it approaches 30S later on Sunday.
Cyclone Hola is expected to be extra-tropical and track close to the upper North Island of New Zealand on Monday.
Current models are predicting Cyclone Hola to swiftly skirt the northeast of the North Island during Monday, bringing Severe Weather to eastern parts of the upper North Island. Severe Weather Watches and Warnings have now been issued for Monday, with rain accumulations of as much as 150mm and wind gusts of up to 130km/h forecast for eastern regions from Northland to northern Hawkes Bay. You can find the latest information on the Severe Weather and impacts at http://bit.ly/AllWarnings
Hola will bring severe gale force winds and heavy rain to northern and eastern parts of the North Island during Monday and the early hours of Tuesday, and could cause coastal inundation for eastern areas from Northland to western Bay of Plenty including Gisborne as well. The heaviest rain is expected in Northland, Great Barrier Island, Coromandel Peninsula and Gisborne, where a heavy rain Warning is now in force. In addition, gale southeasterlies are expected to develop from early Monday morning, then changing southwesterly during Monday afternoon and evening. The strongest winds are expected in Northland, Auckland, Coromandel Peninsula, Bay of Plenty and Gisborne, and a strong wind Warning is in force for these areas.
This system is compact but fast moving, meaning that those expected to be impacted should expect weather conditions to change rapidly, so keeping updated with the forecast, Civil Defence and New Zealand Transport Agency is key.
Another low is located near 6.7S 160.1E near the Solomon Islands at 1300 New Zealand time today. This low is expected to track into the northern Coral Sea over the next few days with the risk of it developing into a tropical cyclone being LOW, but increasing to MODERATE from Tuesday next week.

Zolotov Island lies 1 km south of Hawker Island and 0.5 km west of the Mule Peninsula, in Prydz Bay on the Ingrid Christensen Coast of Princess Elizabeth Land, Antarctica. The nearest permanent research station is Australia's Davis, some 10 km to the north-east on Broad Peninsula, Vestfold Hills. Several small lakes are present on the island.

Discovery and naming
The island was mapped from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936–37) and also photographed by the USN's Operation Highjump (1946–47), the Soviet Antarctic Expedition of 1956, and by ANARE in 1957 and 1958. It was named Ostrov Zolotova by the Soviet Expedition after A.H. Zolotov, a hydrologist who died in Antarctica.

Important Bird Area
A 167 ha site, which comprises all of Zolotov Island, neighbouring Kazak Island and the intervening marine area, has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports about 23,000 breeding pairs of Adélie penguins, based on estimates made in 1981/82.
