Home prices grew in the latest S&P CoreLogic/Case-Shiller Indices, up 6.1 percent year-over-year in August, compared to 5.9 percent in July. The increase is against-grain in an economy gaining at a lesser pace, says S&P Dow Jones Indices Chairman of the Index Committee and Managing Director David M. Blitzer.
Is there an end in sight? According to Blitzer, home prices have come back since the downturn—and then some—but how long they sustain their trajectory remains to be seen.
"The ongoing rise in home prices poses questions of why prices are climbing and whether they will continue to outpace most of the economy," says Blitzer. "Currently, low mortgage rates, combined with an improving economy, are supporting home prices. Low interest rates raise the value of both real and financial long-lived assets.
The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index's 10-City Composite rose 5.3 percent year-over-year, up from 5.2 percent in July, while its 20-City Composite rose 5.9 percent year-over-year, up from 5.8 percent in July. Month-over-month, the 10-City Composite and the 20-City Composite both rose, 0.5 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively.
Of the 20 cities analyzed for the Index, Las Vegas, Nev., San Diego, Calif., and Seattle, Wash., came out on top, with prices up 8.6 percent year-over-year in Las Vegas, 7.8 percent in San Diego and 13.2 percent in Seattle.
Home prices continue to chart growth, rising on an annual basis to outpace inflation, according to CoreLogic's recently released Home Price Index (HPI) for January 2017. Prices increased 0.7 percent month-over-month and 6.9 percent year-over-year.
A combination of factors is driving momentum ahead of the curve, says Dr. Frank Nothaft, chief economist of CoreLogic.
Accounting for limited available inventory, CoreLogic's HPI Forecast expects home prices to rise 0.1 percent month-over-month from January to February, and 4.8 percent year-over-year from January 2017 to January 2018.
The spring home-buying season came early this year, according to realtor.com®, which expects record-high home prices and record-low days on market for February.
What Will a Trump Administration Mean to the Housing Finance Industry?
This is the one area where the Trump campaign did provide some indication of what the president-elect would do. Trump's transition team has recently indicated that it would like to see a full repeal of the Dodd-Frank law, which would include the abolishment of the CFPB. Many people think this is unlikely, but most in the mortgage industry would welcome a broad rollback of regulations. Reduced regulation would provide a number of things, some good and some not so good, depending on where you work and where you stand on issues such as subprime lending.
First, reducing or eliminating the detrimental usage of enforcement tools such as the False Claims Act could lure large lenders back to the FHA program. It would also cause many lenders to reduce underwriting overlays and open the credit box, which is needed. Secondly, reducing regulation could reverse the trend of swelling loan manufacturing costs by lowering mortgage origination expenditures associated with compliance. In theory, this would improve pricing for consumers. Finally, reducing regulations could spur a resurgence of subprime and Alt-A lending. This could be good or bad, depending on who you ask.
Subprime lending has all but vanished from the mortgage market, leaving consumers with less-than-stellar credit with few options. The reemergence of subprime lending would definitely increase overall mortgage volumes, but it could also lead to increased foreclosures and larger and more frequent real estate bubbles. Large lenders, who will be unlikely to move towards subprime, will probably counter by creating products that leverage their ability to hold certain proprietary loans on their balance sheets. This would obviously favor larger depository institutions that have the capacity to hold loans on their books. In terms of marketshare, reduced regulations will also favor big banks.
Higher interest rates were already in motion before Trump was elected, but the upward trend accelerated in the days following, although it's not yet clear why. Economists generally believe that most of Trump's stated ideas on immigration, trade, infrastructure, and tax rates will lead to bigger deficits and higher inflation. While a deficit-hating Congress could keep some of this in check, inflation and deficits equate to sharply higher interest rates.
This obviously would not be good for mortgage originations and could lead to further consolidations in the industry. Higher interest rates also favor big money-center banks, which have diversified income streams and mortgage servicing units that will see their MSR values increase. Lenders with deep pockets are in the best position to weather any downturn.
This, in my view, is the biggest wild card. Some believe that Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, finally has an ally in the White House who will support his desire to dismantle Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and eliminate any further government guarantees of conventional mortgage loans. This would be catastrophic for mortgage lending in America, causing thousands of independent lenders to go out of business and making mortgage loans available only to a relatively miniscule segment of our population. But others believe the GSEs provide billions of dollars to the Treasury each year and that Congress would never support a policy that would harm homeowners and turn off the spigot of free cash to the government.
It is difficult to anticipate how this one will play out. If Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac need to take a draw from the Treasury, which is likely to happen at some point, some members of Congress might see that as an indicator that it is time for the government to get out of the mortgage business. Let's hope that cooler heads will prevail. Reforming the GSEs and creating a permanent source of liquidity for the mortgage lending industry would be good for everyone, especially independent lenders. Trump is a real estate man; he may see homeownership as a way to build communities and support our economy. He's not someone who believes that most of us should be renters.
There is no doubt that there are a lot of questions that will remain unanswered in the coming weeks and months. What will be Trump's position on affordable lending or FHA reform? Will he take a page from the Bush Administration and see homeownership as a vehicle to engage with minority and other underserved communities? His appointments to key housing positions at HUD and inside the White House will begin to give us some indication of what is likely to occur.

"Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's off to work we go." The Seven Dwarfs. A strengthening jobs market and low home rates are digging up demand for limited housing inventory. Meanwhile, home price gains hold steady.
The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city Home Price Index rose 5.7 percent year-over-year from January 2015 to January 2016. This was in line with estimates and matched December's 5.7 percent gain. Prices were up 0.8 percent month-over-month. The low inventory of homes available for sale has been the key reason for price growth; more Americans working also has fueled demand.
On the labor front, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 215,000 jobs were created in March, above the 200,000 expected, though down from the 245,000 created in February. While the Unemployment Rate edged higher to 5 percent from 4.9 percent, the report was positive, signaling that despite global economic woes, job growth here in the U.S. remains solid.
At this time, home loan rates continue to hold steady as well, hovering just above historic lows.
In a light report week, investors will scour the words of the Fed's meeting minutes looking for clues regarding the next hike to the benchmark Fed Funds Rate.
On Tuesday, the ISM Services Index will be released.
Wednesday brings the March Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes.
Weekly Initial Jobless Claims will be delivered on Thursday.
Remember: Weak economic news normally causes money to flow out of Stocks and into Bonds, helping Bonds and home loan rates improve. In contrast, strong economic news normally has the opposite result.
If you or someone you know has any questions about the housing market, current rates or home loan products, I would be happy to help. Please don't hesitate to email or call me.


Strong geometrics, thick woven fabric, and the perfect palette of soothing colors are what makes Johanna Gullichsen's textiles the perfect showcase of modern Scandinavian design. We fell in love with the collection after seeing it at Heimtextil in Frankfurt. Gullichsen's designs are inspired by traditional weaving.
The strong dose of pattern that Gullichsen offers is what's particularly appealing. While a tradition of craftsmanship is present, it's the shapes in her designs that make them a cool choice for upholstery fabric for a sofa, side chair or even drapery.
Fitting with a lot of the weaving trends we are starting to see in design today, Gullichsen's designs are absolutely appealing.
So many fantastic patterns. Each room has its own personality and the different textiles work harmoniously together.


What are those grocery items you MUST have on hand at your house? Join us for episode 25 where we go into detail with our grocery short lists… the things we absolutely can't manage without, and the things we must have to make the simplest of meals. From pasta and bottled pesto to carrots and hummus, join the kitchen and cooking survival journey with Delish and Healthyish!
What are your must-haves…. the things you'll go to the store for at 10pm when you realize you're out?!
Protected: Welcome to the 5-Day Delish Detox!
Hey Parents! So you've had a little break from packing your kids' school lunches… but admit it, you've kind of missed it, right? Yes? Just a little? Well… I'll confess that I'm actually quite excited about getting into the school lunch packing routine again even though I've packed 3,510 (no joke!) school lunches for my kids over the years… and one of my kids isn't even in kindergarten yet! So much lunch-packing fun still ahead over here chez Reilly.
1. Bake something with your kids that shows up in their lunch. They're more likely to eat it, love it, and brag about it. Stay tuned for our 3-Step Weekend Prep E-Guide for a scrumptious apple muffin recipe which fits perfectly into a healthy kid lunch.
* Bento Lunch Box by Lucentee: 3 compartments; pack of 7 with different colored lids for $16; Beware that they are NOT leak proof, so only use packaged items or solid items in these. Medium-sized compartment fits an individual applesauce container. Size is 9" x 6" x 2" total.
* Easy Lunch Boxes 4-compartment snack box: Meant for snacks, but perfect for preschool lunches. Pack of 4 containers for $13. Size is 6" x 6" x 2" total. Again not leak-proof, so contain yogurt or applesauce within the compartments or toss those in separately.
* Hot lunch 10-ounce Thermos. Use this when it's cold out and you want to send something warm like lentil soup, veggie chili, mac and cheese, pasta or smart dogs. Then, toss additional lunch items in ziplocks or a smaller container.
4. Mass produce as much as possible on the weekends or Monday night. You can pre-chop veggies, make mini muffins or little cookies, portion out hummus into condiment containers, or my favorite mass production activity which is a 4-loaf-of-bread sandwich making undertaking and freezing them in half-sandwich portions. Use snack-size ziplocks and make a zillion peanut butter, sunflower seed butter, Don't Go Nuts chocolate soybean spread, and cream cheese half sandwiches to freeze. Pull them out the morning of or night before–they only take about an hour to thaw out.
5. Send a sweet note in their lunchbox. If you don't have time to write something, check out these cute notes to keep on hand.
And our best tip yet… get those lunches packed at night! This will free you up in the morning for a walk, or even just save you from screaming "WAIT!! I haven't packed your lunch yet!!" Tune in next week for more tips for middle school, high school, and adult lunches.

Q: Can I transfer a jpeg or mjpeg file from the hard drive to the GPU's memory? I am trying to translate single-threaded serial code for the MJPEG decoder into OpenCL code which I want to execute on the GPU (NVIDIA Tesla k20c).
After translating several major functions into kernels, the execution time of the code has gone from about 18 ms per frame to an abysmal 400 ms per frame.
I am using a standard method of opening a file, reading it, using buffer and ndrange commands to execute code on the GPU and read the results from the CPU. I feel that transferring the mjpeg file (which is of the data type FILE) to the GPU's memory will considerably cut down the communication overhead when the code is processed.
I referred to this link but the suggestions are only applicable to CUDA. This source and NVIDIA's OpenCL guide explain the utility of pinned memory but their usage of pinned memory is confined to kernel parameters and buffer commands.
I want to transfer the entire MJPEG file (size is about 2.8 MB) to the GPU's memory but I am struggling to find resources which do it.
Can I do this safely? If this can be done, how can I read the file to perform the various steps of MJPEG decoding?
EDIT:
The details of my GPU are as follows:
DEVICE_NAME = Tesla K20c
DEVICE_VENDOR = NVIDIA Corporation
DEVICE_VERSION = OpenCL 1.2 CUDA
DRIVER_VERSION = 352.21
DEVICE_MAX_COMPUTE_UNITS = 13
DEVICE_MAX_CLOCK_FREQUENCY = 705
DEVICE_GLOBAL_MEM_SIZE = 5032706048
CL_DEVICE_ERROR_CORRECTION_SUPPORT: yes
CL_DEVICE_LOCAL_MEM_TYPE:       local
CL_DEVICE_LOCAL_MEM_SIZE:       48 KByte
CL_DEVICE_MAX_CONSTANT_BUFFER_SIZE: 64 KByte
CL_DEVICE_QUEUE_PROPERTIES:     CL_QUEUE_OUT_OF_ORDER_EXEC_MODE_ENABLE
CL_DEVICE_QUEUE_PROPERTIES:     CL_QUEUE_PROFILING_ENABLE

EDIT:
Xirema has given me a fairly convincing answer.
I would greatly appreciate it if I can get suggestions for reading markers and so on after the jpeg file is on the GPU. Are there any other ingenious tricks for reading markers more efficiently?

A: There's nothing stopping you from copying the literal data of the image into a buffer in host memory and then copying it to the GPU:
//HOST CODE
std::ifstream image_file("img.jpg", std::ios::binary);
std::vector<uint8_t> image_data;
image_file.seekg(0, std::ios_base::end);
size_t size = image_file.tellg();
image_data.resize(size);
image_file.seekg(0, std::ios_base::beg);

image_file.read(reinterpret_cast<char *>(image_data.data()), size);

cl_mem image_buffer = clCreateBuffer(context, CL_MEM_READ_WRITE | CL_MEM_COPY_HOST_PTR, size, image_data.data(), nullptr);

clSetKernelArg(kernel, 0, sizeof(cl_mem), &image_buffer);
clSetKernelArg(kernel, 1, sizeof(size_t), &size);

//DEVICE CODE
kernel void image_manipulation_function(global uchar * data, size_t data_size) {
    //Go crazy.
    //Seriously.
    //(Mostly because you'd *have* to be crazy to think this is a good idea)
}

The only outstanding question is why you'd want to do this. Most image compression algorithms are poorly suited to the kind of "Embarassingly Parallel Problems" that are usually solved on GPUs, even in cases where they do adapt to multithreaded algorithms (on the order of 2-16 threads) rather nicely and efficiently. You're unlikely to make any kind of significant speed gains unless you're privy to some kind of experimental research that isn't publicly available, or if your actual task is notably esoteric.

Microgaming really have steamed ahead of the competition when it comes to the world of online slots, leaving other developers well and truly in the dust as a result. This is not something that has occurred by chance either, as it seems that the developer has consistently showcased incredibly impressive creativity when it comes to game concepts. Proving this in spectacular fashion is Age of Discovery, a fresh new slot machines release that gives players a taste of something different. Based upon the open waters, what this game is able to do is put players through their paces in a discovery-fuelled adventure.
Loaded with all the traditional Microgaming gameplay elements and a few little extras, Age of Discovery is a game that is sure to secure plenty of player attention. Saying that, we certainly feel that this is one Microgamig release that is worth delving into a little more.
Officially speaking the "Age of Discovery" was between the 15th Century and the 18th Century, as it was a time in which those from European nations would set sail across the world to discover far and distant lands. It was during this time that America was discovered by Christopher Columbus. Taking this period of time as inspiration, the visual aspects of Age of Discovery certainly do a fantastic job of representing such period of time. What you will see within the UI of the game is reel after reel of bright and colourful illustrations, all of which come complete with an impressive looking cartoon edge. If you were to summarise the graphical appearance of Age of Discovery in a single term it would probably be blissful optimism.
It is a question that has been asked a thousand times over the years, as many wonder what it is that really makes a great online slots game just that. Putting the argument to bed, we are here to tell you that the answer to that question all relates to the special features that a game makes available, with Age of Discovery having plenty of them. For starters, you are going to find a wild hidden amidst the reels. This is represented by a golden coin and what it has the power to do is replace all other symbols in the game, compass excluded, in order to help you form a payout-powered combination. Speaking of the compass symbol, it also has an important role to play in this game, as it represents the bonus symbol. Land three of these and the Age of Discovery bonus round will be unlocked.
Much like other Microgaming slot games, Age of Discovery features a rather impressive range of betting options. Coin values here are 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.25, and 0.50; while there are 25 paylines at hand, along with up to ten coin levels. All in all, no matter your budget, you are going to find that Age of Discovery can bend to what you need in the betting and wagering department.
Getting stuck into the Age of Discovery online slots experience is fairly easy to do, largely as the game's controls are laid out in effortless fashion. At the bottom of the screen you will find all you need to alter you wager, adjust you paylines, and get the reels rolling.
Microgaming really have worked wonders with the creation of Age of Discovery, as the game proves to be a visual triumph. Add that to the impressive gameplay elements and what you have on your hands is an online slots game you simply won't be able to put down.

Keynote on corporate travel industry trends by Patrick Dixon. It is ironic that most people have better technology at home and faster bandwidth, than they do at work. They also have better experiences online with things like travel tools -- using personal Apps like Tripit which reports with SMS, diary updates and so on with live updates of flight delays, alternative routing suggestions. Virtual travel assistants are a big growth industry in the personal retail travel market, but in the workplace very few companies are operating with the same sophistication. But business and leisure worlds are fusing. Consumer expectations booking flights using mobile apps. Impact of mobile apps and mobile marketing on customer relationship management by travel companies, airlines and hotels. How travel industry companies can lose up to 80% of business in a few seconds. How to engage customers, increase customer loyalty, improve customer experience and transform business travel. Corporate travel executives need to learn from retail and leisure travel operators. Multichannel marketing and online travel sales will increase dramatically, linked to live information systems, free travel guides, automatic re-routing and re-ticketing when flights are cancelled or delayed. Risks of managing all corporate travel budgets internally -- difficulty in providing support for senior executives and business leaders 24/7, especially when travelling at night or over weekends or public holidays. Common frustrations of business travellers, and business class passengers. How to deliver a premium travel to VIP customers at almost zero cost using travel bots, robot programmes which provide instant, automated support to your most important customers. Let's look at the experience of an individual trying to book a flight. In the UK already, 1 in 3 people no longer watch conventional TV -- they have shifted to watching web streamed TV programmes. The web has also made us very impatient -- as we are used increasingly to information appearing in a second or two. Future of international business travel. Conference keynote speaker and Futurist, Patrick Dixon, speaking at corporate travel industry event for American Express (Amex) and ATH in Moscow.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether second-trimester cervical length (CL) in women with a twin pregnancy is associated with the risk of emergency Cesarean section. METHODS: This was a secondary analysis of two randomized trials conducted in 57 hospitals in The Netherlands. We assessed the univariable association between risk indicators, including second-trimester CL in quartiles, and emergency Cesarean delivery using a logistic regression model. For multivariable analysis, we assessed whether adjustment for other risk indicators altered the associations found in univariable (unadjusted) analysis. Separate analyses were performed for suspected fetal distress and failure to progress in labor as indications for Cesarean section. RESULTS: In total, 311 women with a twin pregnancy attempted vaginal delivery after 34 weeks' gestation. Emergency Cesarean delivery was performed in 111 (36%) women, of which 67 (60%) were performed owing to arrest of labor. There was no relationship between second-trimester CL and Cesarean delivery (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 0.97 for CL 26(th) -50(th) percentiles; 0.71 for CL 51(st) - 75(th) percentiles; and 0.92 for CL > 75(th) percentile, using CL </= 25(th) percentile as reference). In multivariable analysis, the only variables associated with emergency Cesarean delivery were maternal age (aOR, 1.07 (95% CI, 1.00-1.13)), body mass index (BMI) (aOR, 3.99 (95% CI, 1.07-14.9) for BMI 20-23 kg/m(2) ; 5.04 (95% CI, 1.34-19.03) for BMI 24-28 kg/m(2) ; and 3.1 (95% CI, 0.65-14.78) for BMI > 28 kg/m(2) ) and induction of labor (aOR, 1.92 (95% CI, 1.05-3.5)). CONCLUSION: In nulliparous women with a twin pregnancy, second-trimester CL is not associated with risk of emergency Cesarean delivery. Copyright (c) 2014 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.


I am currently living and working in South Korea. I am working on an Army post near Seoul. I have an idea for starting a business here in South Korea but I have no experience in starting a business. Any assistance that I can obtain will be greatly appreciated.

Whilst I appreciate many may be unaware of the fact that those who give Immigration advice have to be regulated. In order to protect those who may well be in a very vulnerable position from being exploited rules are I'm place which ensure that Immigration advice is only given by those qualified to do so.
i have been notified by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner that last month they successfully prosecuted a Mr Leonard Kachingwe for offering unregulated immigration advice in Bury. If anyone has heard of him operating, the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner would like to know! If you come across him please contact me and or the OISC.
I met with representatives of the Kashmir community yesterday to discuss the ongoing situation in Kashmir, particularly on the Indian side of the Line of Control which divides Kashmir. There were harrowing accounts of relatives killed by the bombs and children blinded by pellet guns. With the continuing tragedy in Syria Kashmir rarely gets a mention in the UK media as indeed as been the case over the decades. The human rights violations continue and as Chairman of the All Party Group I was grateful for all the additional information I was provided with. This is something which must be raised in Parliament.
A big thank you to all those from Manchester University Conservative Future Group who came along last night and posed such a wide range of questions. Along with some 'regulars' there were some new ones that I had not come across before which is always interesting.
I wonder if I am alone in being surprised that the England Football Manager on a reported £3 million a year was discussing (so soon after being appointed) how he could earn even more money. Strange World.
Many thanks to the owner Hayley Taggart and her staff for hosting my visit yesterday to Bambinos – Bury's newest children's nursery. It takes great courage and determination to take the leap towards setting up a new business from scratch. Finding premises, finding the capital, negotiating the regulatory jungle, finding staff – and that is all before the most critical task of all finding customers.
With Bambinos Hayley has turned her dream of owning her own nursery into a reality. The premises have been refurbished and decorated to the highest standard. She has recruited qualified staff. Obtained all the necessary legal permits and approvals and is now open. Bambinos provides a superb environment for pre-school children to play and learn.
Good news from the Football Stadia Improvement Fund that Ramsbottom United F.C. have been awarded a grant from them of £28,404 to help with the repairs and renovations following the terrible storm damage from Boxing Day last year. The Fund is financed by the Premier League and is the largest provider in the Country of grants which help prove the comfort and safety of lower league football grounds.
The Football Foundation which delivers the Premier League and The FA Facilities Fund on behalf of the Premier League, the Football Association and the government via Sport England has also made grants to local clubs recently. Ramsbottom United Juniors FC has been awarded £10,000 to purchase new ground maintenance equipment and Walshaw Sports Club has been awarded £465 to help purchase new goalposts.
So there we have it Mr Corbyn wins the leadership of the Labour Party for the second time in a year this time with an even bigger mandate than last time. By any assessment it has been a disaster for the moderates in the Labour Party. They have been pursuing a determined course with the aim of removing Jeremy Corbyn.
The first step was to hold a vote of no confidence in the Parliamentary Labour Party – they won that easily but Jeremy stayed put.
The second step was to have a rolling series of resignations from the Shadow Cabinet and the lower Shadow Ministerial ranks. That did not work either. The gaps were either filled by bringing M.P.'s off the back benches or giving some more than one rôle. Some posts were simply left unfilled.
The third step – the nuclear option – was to have another leadership election. Unlike last year the moderates would be ready – ready to challenge the Leadership in the Courts if necessary to try to increase their chances of success. The cost of being a supporter was increased from £3 to £25. 120,000 more recent recruits were barred from taking part at all after another court battle. All to no avail.
Mr Corbyn increased his share of the vote from 59.5% to 61.8% and he won easily in each of the three categories of voters. The increase in Labour Party membership has been unmatched by any other party and Mr Corbyn now has a stronger grip on the leadership than before the challenge began.
We will find out later today whether the Labour Party have elected a new leader. It may turn out to be one of the most significant events in determining the outcome of the next general election. Whoever wins the Labour Party seem determined to head off in an increasingly hard left direction which I suspect is not what most voters want. At the last election the view of those who were undecided whether to support Labour or the Conservatives – and as always there were many – was not 'If only Labour would be more left-wing'. No, under Ed Miliband they were concerned it was already too left-wing. It is difficult to see how adopting a more extreme left wing agenda will help Labour win a general election – and Labour MP's know it!

Glastonbury 2017: Foo Fighters' Swearing Breaks Adele's Record, And Naked Fan Steals The Show
By Daniel Welsh
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl stayed true to his word about breaking Adele's record for swearing during the band's headlining slot at Glastonbury.
Last year, Adele dropped the f-bomb 33 times in the space of 90 minutes when she closed the show on the Pyramid Stage, despite having been previously asked not to swear by festival organisers, as her set would air live on the BBC.
Dave Grohl had previously said in interviews that he had no intention of honouring the no-swearing rule, and during his set, even acknowledged that he wanted to break Adele's record.

In the middle of their set, he told fans in the crowd at Worthy Farm: "We were doing an interview and someone said, 'you know you're not supposed to swear – there's no swearing on Glastonbury.'
"I was like, what the fuck is that supposed to fucking mean? And then I guess, Adele holds the record for the most fucks in a Glastonbury appearance.
"Now I love Adele, but guess what..?"
He then led the crowd in a chant of "fuck, fuck, fuck" before telling them: "OK, I think we broke her record – I heard it was 33… dude, shut the fuck up! That's 34!"

Dave also singled out one fan in particular, when he spotted a naked man on his friend's shoulders and dedicated 'My Hero' to him.
The rock singer said: "I see a naked guy… this one's for you."
Viewers watching from the comfort of their living rooms were then shocked when the camera panned briefly to the excited fan, but only for a split-second (see the NSFW moment below):

Foo Fighters' headlining slot came two years after they were initially booked to perform at Glastonbury, but were forced to pull out when Dave Grohl suffered a serious injury.
Florence + The Machine wound up headlining that year, with Florence getting a special shout-out during Foo Fighters' set.
Dave Grohl told the crowd at the beginning of their show: "For all of you who were here in 2015, I'm sorry I missed you. But I watched that show on my laptop and it looked beautiful.
"My friend Florence got to headline that year and I'm very happy that happened, because I thought she should have been headlining anyway.
"As I was sitting in my wheelchair with my broken leg, she played a fucking Foo Fighters song. Way better than we've ever played it. So I thought I'd start the show tonight, singing that song back to Florence."
Ed Sheeran will close the show on the Pyramid Stage on Sunday (25 June) night.

Race for King County prosecutor heats up at forum
Former public defender Daron Morris slams incumbent Dan Satterberg for the use of bail in the county justice system.
by Josh Kelety
Monday, August 20, 2018 8:30am
King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg is defending his record against criticisms from his challenger, Daron Morris, a former public defender, over the use of bail in the county justice system.
The candidates faced off in a forum Aug. 15 at the MLK Labor Temple in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood. The forum was moderated by King 5 reporter Elisa Hahn.
Satterberg, who hasn't faced an electoral challenger since he first ran for office 11 years ago, has positioned himself as a reformed Republican prosecutor who has championed progressive causes such as banning the death penalty statewide and building up Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD), a program that sends low-level drug offenders to case managers instead of into the justice system.
His challenger in the November 2018 election, Morris, announced his candidacy back in May after a roughly decade-long stint in the King County Public Defense Department. Morris has criticized Satterberg's tenure as being too incrementalist and not addressing chronic underlying issues such as racial disparities in jail bookings and felony charges filed by the Prosecutor's Office.
After a few softball questions at the Aug. 15 forum — such as "do you support Initiative 1000" (the ballot initiative that would repeal the ban on affirmative action statewide) and "what issues have you disagreed with labor on," to which both candidates responded by saying none — Morris brought his qualms to bear.
In response to a question regarding the use of bail in the county justice system, Morris said: "What we're doing in King County right now is fundamentally not legal. We are setting bail against people without any regard to their ability to pay. Go watch court on the 12th floor … you will see requests being made with numbers pulled out of the ether on people who have jobs, have families, who haven't been convicted of anything."
"If we want to wake up and realize what the primary reason is we have such high racial disproportionality in our criminal justice system, and, again this is why I'm running, it starts with bail," he added.
County public defenders routinely claim that prosecutors request steep bail in the thousands of dollars for defendants, regardless of their ability to pay it. Reforming the use of bail and incarceration in pre-trial proceedings has also been a priority subject of discussion of criminal justice reform advocates nationwide.
Satterberg responded by claiming that less than one percent of inmates in King County jails are held on bail of $1,000 or less, before arguing that the elimination of bail would potentially increase pretrial incarceration because judges would have fewer options at their disposal.
"The truth is that the judges in our county have an active role in this. They follow the law, we follow the law. The judges are faced with this question: 'will this person come back to court? Will this person commit another crime?' And if they're not sure what to do, bail is a third option."
Satterberg added that the county should pursue accountability alternatives — such as GPS tracking technology or texting — to ensure that defendants show up in court.
"It has to be done in partnership with the court because the judges are the ones who are ultimately setting bail and they need all the options that they can get," he said.
Morris quickly followed up by asking Satterberg if he would commit to requiring that his deputies request bail according to defendants' income levels: "Will you request bail according to a person's ability to pay? You could do it tomorrow, Mr. Satterberg."
Satterberg declined to answer and responded by claiming that Morris wasn't following the forum rules. Hahn, the moderator, proceeded to the next question.
Seattle Police Officers Guild President Kevin Stuckey asked the candidates what responsibility the county prosecutor has in undoing institutional racism in the justice system. Satterberg cited his work building up the LEAD program, which Morris criticized as insufficient, citing existing racial disparities in the justice system.
"You want to know why we have wrongful convictions and horrible racial disparities and how to prevent it? It's not the LEAD program. And the fact that Mr. Satterberg would bring up the LEAD program in responding to a question about racism … the answer to systemic racism is not to give the police more discretion … thinking that we're going to give the police an opportunity to give a helping hand and that's going to decrease racial disparity? I mean I hope it at least won't make it worse, but police discretion, last time I checked, was not a tool for reducing racial disparity."
The candidates also covered their positions on the controversial new county youth detention center that is under construction in Central Seattle. Satterberg defended his support of the project, calling the existing facility a "terrible building" and arguing that such a facility is needed for violent youth offenders.
"Last week, we had a 16-year-old who shot a 37-year-old man when he got off a bus in West Seattle. Shot him six times in cold blood and killed him. If we didn't have a detention facility, where is that young person supposed to go? When people shoot other people they're going to need a timeout, people," he said.
"There are zero places that have zero youth detention," he added, referring to calls from activists to eliminate youth detention in the county entirely as well as a similar target goal set last year by the King County Executive. "It's aspirational, and we're all working toward reducing it … We're doing tremendous work here, not getting much credit for it. But yes, we need a juvenile court house like every other community in America."
Morris responded by saying he is "absolutely" against the project and argued that the county should instead invest in a smaller scale facility for the minority of kids who have committed violent crimes that make up the average daily population of the current youth detention center.
"It wouldn't have to be a jail even. It would be some sort of secure facility that isn't a jail. It wouldn't be the old jail. It wouldn't be the new jail," Morris said. "So let's put whatever kind of rubber band we need to put on this old jail and get it done fast and not wed ourselves to a horrible approach that we're going to regret for the next 50 years and not take $233 million in unfunded construction costs out of the community and away from the community programs that we actually need to get to zero youth detention which is what we've said we're trying to do."
Satterberg said the prosecutor is the county's legal counsel and it would be inappropriate for him to take a public stand against adopted county policy.
"It's an irresponsible position to take, it's inconsistent with the role of the prosecuting attorney," he said in response to Morris.
The one area where Morris and Satterberg seemed to be in substantial alignment was in response to a question from a Seattle firefighter about alleged violent attacks on firefighters committed by homeless persons. Both responded by saying that while the attorney's office has an obligation to prosecute targeted attacks on firefighters and other civil servants, that action won't solve homelessness.
"When they come to us we do prosecute these cases. But prosecuting people is not going to be our answer out of homelessness," Satterberg said.
According to the Public Disclosure Commission, Satterberg has raised roughly $250,000 for his re-election bid. Morris, in contrast, has raised $40,000 so far.

Q: CSS div that appears when hovering on anchor; keeping it visible while hovering over div I have a div that I want to pop up when I hover over the link before it. The hover works great, but there is a link inside the div that appears that I want people to be able to click but it disappears when I try to go to it.
Here is the jsfiddle
I am trying to use just CSS here but if I need any jquery or anything then cool.
#soldoutinfo a {
    padding:4px 2px;
    font-size:10px;
}

#soldoutinfo, .soldout {
    display:inline;
}

#soldoutinfo a {
    color:#cc0000;
}

#soldoutinfo a:visited {
    color:#cc0000;
}

#soldoutinfo + div {
    display:none;
    width:0;
    height:0;
    position:absolute;
}

#soldoutinfo:hover + div {
    display:block;
    height:60px;
    width:250px;
    background:#ffffff;
    box-shadow: 0 0 4px #888888;

    left:12px;
    z-index:1000;
}

#soldoutinfo + div p {
    font-size:12px;
}

    ?

Hope is not lost! Send us a message and we will see if our stores have any in stock to ship to you.

A: The problem is that the hover effect is on the element after the anchor. So when you leave the anchor, your hover effect will end to.
You could fix it like this, although it's not the cleanest solution:
Set your tooltip inside your anchor, using a span

JSFiddle DEMO

A: Edited your fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/s8QWY/6/
See if this works for you. Basically what I did was this:

*

*Make the hidden div be inside the div that you have to hover over to get it to show.

*Make the position of the parent div relative

*Make the position of the shown div be over where the hovered element so that the div still shows when you hover over the div itself.

Hope is not lost! Send us a message and we will see if our stores have any in stock to ship to you.

#soldoutinfo a {
    padding:4px 2px;
    font-size:10px;
}

#soldoutinfo, .soldout {
    display:inline;
    position: relative;
}

#soldoutinfo a {
    color:#cc0000;
}

#soldoutinfo a:visited {
    color:#cc0000;
}

#soldoutinfo div {
    display:none;
    width:0;
    height:0;
    position:absolute;

#soldoutinfo:hover div,
#soldoutinfo div:hover {
    display:block;
    height:60px;
    width:250px;
    background:#ffffff;
    box-shadow: 0 0 4px #888888;
    position: absolute;
    padding: 8px;
    top: 3px;
    left:3px;
    z-index:1000;
}

#soldoutinfo + div p {
    font-size:12px;
}

A: Here a approach point:
When you hover the ?
$("#id").hover(function(){
   $(this).find("#toShow").show();
}

and when he leaves the #toShow
$('#toShow').mouseout(function() {
   $('#toShow').hide();
});

A: I see no JS code in this fiddle I don't know why. But solution to you would be to use setTimeout(); in this function you can specify after what period of time after hover the box should be hidden. You can also add to hide() param 'slow'.
You can also use ready solution which is Jquery UI ToolTip

Q: how can I stop fizz from dancing around so much? Fizz drives me insane he jumps around the hits me then jumps around some more then siks his stupid shark on me and boom I'm dead.....Is there a way to avoid this champion, stop him from doing his lil dance or a sure way to counter him?

A: Silence plays a key role in stopping fizz. or any hard cc. As long as you can stop him from trickster then you should be able to melt him as he is generally squishy. An item that can help with this if you are a caster is Zhonyas Hourglass. That way you can use it to avoid the shark damage and then turn on him. Other than that it is hard to counter the trickster from Fizz seeing as the point of it is to make him untargetable.

A: Targeted stuns (Such as Taric's Dazzle) when his Playful/Trickster is on cd, but as an Assassin type character, his mobility is a strong aspect of him.

A: The obvious answer is if you are in ranked or draft mode and team captain, simply ban fizz or pick fizz yourself.  Otherwise, you can't stop fizz from using his untargetable skill, just like you can stop vlad from using his pool or a player from activating their zhonya's.  Simply try to force them to put it on cooldown through a gank, or simply outplay them.

Fmr. Vibe Editor Danyel Smith Named Managing Editor of The Root
Some interesante news in the world of black media! Former long time Vibe editor and writer Danyel Smith has been named the new managing editor of the Washington Post-based Web site The Root! Congratulations to Danyel to landing the new gig! I love her writing and loved her work at Vibe, especially in the 1990s when the thing was practically my Bible.
Here's some background on Smith, courtesy of the New York Times:
Ms. Smith was the top editor of Vibe, the urban music magazine, from 1997 to 1999, and again from 2006 until it closed this year. In the interim, she was an editor at large at Time Inc. magazines and published two novels, "More Like Wrestling" and "Bliss." She has written for many publications, including Rolling Stone and The New York Times.
Ms. Smith's career reflects the changing times in journalism, with many operations struggling and some dying, while new ones crop up, especially those that exist only online and are devoted to particular interests. In an interview, she said she welcomes the tumult, despite the loss of Vibe.
"I'm not in mourning any more, just looking forward," she said. "Something magnificent and major comes out of struggle and sour times, times when people are questioning everything."
The Root, she said, "just seems like the perfect place for me."

The Root is horrible, they actually have folks who get paid to run that site? These are college educated black folks. They have got to do better
AverageBro.com says:
Vibe.com never really struck me as a must-read destination either. Maybe Smith can spice up the very stuffy "The Root", but she has her work cut out.
Lately, I have not read The Root as much as I used to, mainly because they focus too much on stupid reality shows and why black women can't get black men. Ugh… Maybe this new editor can make magic there

Surviving Thyroid Cancer: Sofia Vergara's Story
How this actress and mom faced a health scare early in her career.
By Gina Shaw
Is Sofia Vergara the world's funniest sexy woman, or the world's sexiest funny woman?
Whichever way you put it, there's been a lot more laughter in American living rooms since the Colombian-born Vergara, 41, made the jump from hosting variety shows on the Spanish-language network Univision to starring as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett in ABC's Emmy-dominating comedy Modern Family.
She's now the face of CoverGirl cosmetics, the highest-earning woman on television, and recently one of the latest celebs to be rebuilt in wax at Madame Tussauds (in both New York City and Las Vegas). And she tops virtually every public and private list of "sexiest woman ever!" But Vergara hasn't always led such a charmed life.
After falling into an early marriage at age 18 and divorcing 2 years later, Vergara moved to Miami with her young son, Manolo, to pursue a job in TV hosting. She was 28 when a routine doctor's checkup found something unexpected. "He felt a lump in my neck," she recalls.
The next few weeks were a whirlwind of tests that confirmed her doctor's suspicions: Vergara had thyroid cancer. "It was very traumatic," she says. "I was young. I had a young son. But I tried not to panic. I decided to take charge and inform myself. Of course, I couldn't Google thyroid cancer from the comfort of my house back then, so I went to bookstores and found out everything I could about it."
She learned she'd have to undergo surgery to remove her thyroid gland, the small butterfly-shaped organ at the base of the neck that makes a hormone that helps control many of the body's functions, including temperature, heart rate, how calories and vitamins are used, and more. After that, Vergara spent several days in the hospital, in isolation, while she received treatment with radioactive iodine that would wipe out any remaining cancer cells. "Not even the nurses could come close," she recalls. "They practically throw you your food through a hole in the door," she adds, exaggerating a bit.
Still, she says, "I was lucky that's all I needed. That kind of cancer is very quiet, and usually you only realize you have it after it's already spread and it's much harder to treat."
'Follow the Script'
Nearly 13 years later, Vergara remains cancer-free, but she has a daily reminder in the form of a small lavender pill she takes each morning to make up for the loss of her thyroid.
"I have to take it without any food, and then I sit there counting the minutes for half an hour until I can have my coffee!" she laughs. "I get my blood levels checked every 3 to 6 months to make sure my thyroid levels are good. And of course after cancer, every time I cough or feel something I'm a little paranoid. But I want people to know you can live a normal life with hypothyroidism."
That's why she's currently the face of "Follow the Script," a campaign designed to help people with hypothyroidism work with their doctor to manage their thyroid hormone levels, find the right dose of medication, keep track of symptoms, and lead a healthy lifestyle.
Thyroid Cancer 101
Thyroid cancer is relatively rare -- only about 60,000 U.S. cases are diagnosed each year -- and it's one of the most survivable cancers, with a 5-year survival rate of nearly 100% for cases caught early, like Vergara's. Once a person reaches the 5-year mark, the cancer is more or less cured.
But cancer is not the only reason someone might lose thyroid function. About 1 in every 20 people in the U.S. has hypothyroidism, when the thyroid gland isn't making enough thyroid hormone to meet the body's needs. Because the hormone helps control metabolism, it can affect almost every organ if you don't have enough.
"You start to be very fatigued, and you notice that you're kind of feeling cold when other people are comfortable," says Donald Bodenner, MD, PhD. He is director of the Thyroid Center at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. "You can also have constipation, dry skin, weight gain, muscle pain and weakness, thinning hair, memory problems, and depression."
Of course, many of these are what doctors call "nonspecific" symptoms -- they point to a number of other conditions -- making hypothyroidism tough to diagnose. "I see a lot of patients discover hypothyroidism on a blood test and realize they've probably had it for years but attributed it to other things, like just ordinary aging," says Bodenner.
Only about 5% to 10% of cases of hypothyroidism are caused by the surgical removal of the thyroid, says Bodenner. Most are a form of autoimmune disease known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Another cause is treatment of hyperthyroidism, when the thyroid makes too much hormone. Either way, it's crucial to get thyroid hormone levels back to normal (usually with a medication).
Although you can't restore lost thyroid function through lifestyle choices like healthy diet and exercise alone, Bodenner notes that many people with hypothyroidism -- especially those who have trouble losing weight -- can benefit from a low-carbohydrate diet rich in vegetables and fruits.
Vergara takes this advice to heart. "This is all stuff that people should be doing anyway if we want to be healthy," she says, although she confesses it's not always easy to practice what she preaches. "I've never been a very big fan of exercising," she says. "In Colombia, I didn't grow up in a culture of working out. But I've accepted it, now that I'm getting older and see things shifting and changing."
Sofia Vergara's Family Life
Speaking of shifts and changes, is Vergara, like her "Modern Family" character, ready for a second child? Could be. She's spoken openly about freezing her eggs so that she and her fiancé, producer Nicholas Loeb, have the chance to have kids together. "When you go through cancer and radiation, and also when you're my age, things don't happen the way they used to happen," she says. "But now with modern medicine and science, we have more opportunity to do things like that. Why not take advantage of it?"
In the meantime, she's reveling in her white-hot career. "Modern Family" starts its fifth season in the fall, and she has two couldn't-be-more-different films coming out soon: director John Turturro's comedy Fading Gigolo, with Woody Allen, Sharon Stone, and Liev Schreiber, and Machete Kills, with Mel Gibson, Jessica Alba, and Michelle Rodriguez. She also has a new line of "shapewear for soccer moms," available at Kmart stores.
Finding herself in comedy was a happy accident, Vergara says. "When I decided to be an actress, I didn't know that's what I'd be doing. But I started to get cast in comedies and began to realize that was the direction I was supposed to go in." Ultimately, she'd like to see herself with a long acting career like that of another iconic star with a similar name: Sophia Loren. "She's had an amazing career internationally and is still beautiful and active today," Vergara says. "She had a loving family and a marriage of decades. I think that's amazing, to be able to juggle all that."
Talking to Kids About Cancer
Vergara says one of the hardest things about being diagnosed with cancer was telling her young son, Manolo. "I tried not to panic in front of him," she says. "Of course, I told him that I had to go to the doctor and have an operation, but I didn't want it to be very dramatic. I explained that I was going to try and take care of it, but what can an 8-year-old kid do?"
Vergara was right to be open with her son, says Jen Singer, a New Jersey writer who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2007, when her sons were 8 and 10. She's created the web site parentingwithcancer.com as a resource for parents like herself and Vergara.
Nearly 3 million children in the U.S. are living with a parent who has cancer or has survived cancer -- and half a million of them are witnessing the earliest and most intense stage of their mom's or dad's treatment.
"When kids are old enough to understand what cancer means -- probably around 8 or so -- you need to use that word and explain there are different types of cancer," Singer says. "If your particular cancer is curable, say that. If it's highly treatable, say that. Put it as positively as possible."
What else does your child need to know?
You can't catch it. "When you tell a child you're sick, they think of things like colds, and they worry it could happen to them, too," Singer says.
You didn't cause it. "Kids have magical thinking," says Singer. "They believe they can make things happen with their thoughts. You need to reassure them that this didn't happen because they had a bad thought about you."
Your life isn't going to be turned upside down. Let your children know they will still go to school and soccer practice and so forth as usual -- but maybe Grandma or the neighbor will take them sometimes instead of Mom or Dad. "Keeping the schedule as much like before as possible is key to your child feeling safe," Singer explains.
Here's what might happen. Tell your child ahead of time about side effects like hair loss or nausea. "If your hair's going to fall out, that is probably above and beyond the most important thing for them to know," says Singer, who gave a presentation to her son's fourth-grade class while wearing a headscarf.
Above all, she says, resist the temptation to shield your children from what's happening. "Kids of all ages can sense when something is not quite right. They will fill in the blanks with something that's far worse than the truth."
Sofia Vergara's Health Tips
And how does this talented actress take care of her own mind and body? Here are her pointers.
Take charge of your health. "When I was diagnosed, I was really ignorant about what thyroid cancer meant and what living without a thyroid would be like," she says. She hit the books and learned everything she could about living the rest of her life with hypothyroidism. No matter what your health situation is, knowledge is power, she says.
Don't miss your checkups. "Your body changes as your life changes," Vergara says. "Check in with your doctor and make sure everything's OK." For women, thyroid problems -- underactive or overactive -- often crop up after menopause or pregnancy, so those are key times to get checked, she notes.
Get outside motivation. Have trouble getting off the couch and into the gym? Make an appointment with a trainer, or a friend who won't let you bail. "If I'm alone, I sabotage myself," Vergara says. "Instead of doing 10 reps, I do seven. If I have somebody there telling me what to do, I do it."
Treat yourself -- in moderation. She's a well-known sweets fan. "Right now in my purse I have Swedish fish and some candy that I bought in China when I was there recently. I cherish them because I know I'm going to run out soon!" she says. "Sometimes I'll even suck on a sugar cube. But I don't eat desserts every single day, and I eat lots of fruits and vegetables."
Make time for yourself. "I don't get very many days to myself," Vergara admits. "But I try to make sure I find time to have lunches with my girlfriends and go shopping -- do the simple things that girls like to do."

It's document dump Tuesday, everybody! In addition to a new tranche of emails from Hillary Clinton being released tonight (by court order), Jeb Bush is expected to make 33 years of personal tax returns public later today. The tax release is clearly intended to be a direct poke at Clinton -- and it's also a tacit acknowledgement of how much damage previous GOP nominee Mitt Romney sustained in 2012 from being cagey about his own financial data. The immediate headlines for Jeb are likely to point out just how much his income skyrocketed after he left public office in 2007, and tidbits like his high-dollar speaking fees probably won't endear him to the more populist wing of the GOP. But putting so much information out there (even though much of it, from his gubernatorial years, was already public) at least gives Bush the ability to counter every accusation that he's "out of touch" with an argument about being "the most transparent presidential candidate in history."
POPPING ON NBC POLITICS
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie promised to tell the hard truths "whether you like it or not" when he launched his presidential campaign on Tuesday.
He told NBC's Kelly O'Donnell after his announcement: "I earn political capital to spend it. Not to keep it in a drawer or put it on a frame on the wall." Watch the video here.
And in an interview with Matt Lauer, he said of the crowded GOP field: "I think the biggest problem with so many people is getting attention, and I've never had any problem getting attention."
But on the first day of his official campaign he already needs a turnaround, NBC's Perry Bacon writes.
Save this one: NBC's Mark Murray compiles your guide to the 2016 money race.
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush will release 33 years of personal tax returns on Tuesday, his campaign says.
"By a 2-to-1 margin, more Americans support the United States and other world powers pursuing a nuclear deal with Iran than oppose it, according to new results from the most recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll," NBC's political unit intern Jessica Washington writes.

New Book Examines the History and Future of Manhattan's Grid
By Tanay Warerkar@TanayWarerkar Nov 9, 2015, 4:00pm EST
Manhattan's street grid is one of the island's most notable features. Is it the result of careful planning, or was it just an easy way out for the city planners who laid out the bustling metropolis in the early 19th Century? Historian Gerard Koeppel explores the history of the grid at depth in his forthcoming book "City on a Grid: How New York Became New York." On Tuesday, Koeppel will discuss his findings in a curated talk at the Museum of the City of New York with Hilary Ballon, who curated a City Museum exhibit about the grid back in 2011 that coincided with its 200-year anniversary. Ahead of the talk, Curbed caught up with Koeppel to get the lowdown on the book (which was recently featured in a write up by Adam Gopnik in the New Yorker, and is currently the number one bestseller on Amazon in the Architectural History section.)
Construction started on the grid in 1811 with 11 north to south avenues planned north of Houston Street and 155 cross streets stretching up to present-day 155th Street. It took 60 years to complete that original plan. From the beginning, it's had its detractors.
Notable figures like Henry James referred to it as a "primal, topographic curse," and Alexis de Tocqueville lamented its "relentless monotony." Others like Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas commented that its rigid structure created "undreamed-of freedom for three-dimensional anarchy," all according the New York Times, which ran a piece concurrent with the anniversary in 2011.
Koeppel was inspired to write the book in the aftermath of 9/11. He recalled a painting by French emigre Anne-Marguerite Hyde de Neuville, depicting a mother helping her child get water out of a public well at the intersection of Dey and Greenwich streets. That intersection vanished when the original World Trade Center towers were built in the 1960s. However in recent years as that site has changed, especially with the planning of the new One World Trade Center, the intersection reappeared.
That led Koeppel to wonder: How would the grid be affected if something were to happen to the Empire State Building, which sits right in the middle of it, unlike the World Trade Center buildings? From there, Koeppel, whose other titles include "Water for Gotham: A History," and "Bond of Union: Building the Erie Canal and the American Nation," began researching for "City on a Grid." His line of questioning: Should we view the grid as a static, unchanged phenomena, or something that needs to adapt to the needs of the modern world?
Koeppel highlights both those who stand in favor of the grid pattern and those who are vociferously against it, particularly contemporary urban planners such as Peter Marcuse, who teaches at Columbia University, and John Reps, who teaches at Cornell University. Koeppel however is hesitant to share his own views about the grid. He said he wants his book to serve as a vehicle to foster greater discussion and debate about the subject.
"I want different readers to take away different things," he told Curbed NY. "I want this to serve just as a history book for those who enjoy reading about this history and also want it to serve as a tool for city planners today who might not be aware of some of the specifics of the plan and how it was developed in subsequent years."
WHO: Gerard Koeppel, author of City on a Grid: How New YorK Became New York, and Hilary Ballon, Curator of City Museum's The Greatest Grid exhibition.
WHEN: Tuesday, November 10, at 6:30 p.m.
WHERE: Museum of the City of New York, 1220 Fifth Avenue at 103rd St.

Surrey RCMP, Washington State Patrol host flag raising ceremony at Peace Arch Park

In a symbol of unity between nations, the Surrey RCMP and Washington State Patrol held a private ceremony Tuesday morning to raise U.S. and Canadian flags at the Peace Arch in South Surrey.
The flags that usually fly on top of the arch were taken down earlier this year as the Peace Arch received a cleaning and a new coat of paint from Canada. Every 10 years, the Peace Arch undergoes a "face-lift," with the two nations taking turns doing the improvements.
The initial plan was to have a public ceremony on Sept. 6 as a way to count down the Sept. 6, 2021 Peace Arch Centennial Celebration. However, COVID-19 pushed back the refurbishment schedule and restrictions made it impossible to host a public event.
The International Peace Arch Association organized Tuesday's event and kicked off the 'Peace Arch Centennial Flags' program.
Every few months for the next year, a different public service organization, such as the CBSA and CBP, will replace the flags on the arch.
SEE ALSO: Increased border enforcement curbs cross-line parties at Peace Arch State Park
After the flags are flown, they are to be transported across both countries and flown at significant government buildings, such as the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa.
What was special about Tuesday's event was that while the Washington State Patrol and RCMP have a long history of participating in various programs at Peace Arch Park, where children raise the flags, officers have never before had the chance to do it themselves.
"After being such good stewards of the arch for so many years, it made sense to actually give them that honour," International Peace Arch Association founder Christina Winkler told Peace Arch News.
While Tuesday's event was not open to the public, the association had a small film crew documenting it.
"We're hoping to capture an inspirational moment for not just us here locally, but for all Americans and Canadians. The Peace Arch has an appeal to many, many people," Winkler said.
While the Canadian side of Peace Arch Park is closed to the public, the American side has been open for Canadians and Americans to mingle.

An "unintended consequence" of COVID-19, Winkler said, is that the U.S. and Canada border closure has renewed interest in the park from coast-to-coast.
"We have a whole new diverse audience," she said. "You have people from across the nations discovering it and coming out here, specifically, to meet a loved one or to get married."
"For the neighbourhood, that's a different story."

I've been there at least once every year to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city life and working stress,hehe! Cameron Highland is just like a heaven to me, nice weather, healthy food, fresh vegetables, picturesque views, and varieties of flowers!
But, I made this trip a little bit different by venturing to the jungle, just wanted to meet with the king of flowers, rafflesia!
Well, rafflesia tour isn't a new thing in Cameron Highland, the tour has been started since 12 years back, it wasn't popular at the beginning because of the price, it charged RM200 per person for the trip, and it is also seasonal, we can hardly see this beautiful flower during the monsoon season.
According to him, there are 32 sites where we can spot rafflesia around Cameron Highland, and the rafflesia we saw here was at the site 7.
The cabbages like bugs that produce before blooming are size of cabbage.
The Rafflesia is rare and fairly hard to locate. It is especially difficult to see in bloom; the buds take up to 10 months to develop and the blossom lasts for just a few days. However, how many these strange plants are survived in primary rainforest is still unknown.
We were lucky that day the the rafflesia we met just bloomed!
The flower also known as corpse flower, want to know why? When we approaching the flower, it seems like we were at a crime scene, flies and bees everywhere!But I can't smell the odor which mentioned in the literature.Beware of those insects as one of our member got stung by the bee!
We bought the tour for RM75, including BOH tea plantation, strawberry farm and butterfly farm, an extra RM20 needed for those who wish to continue their tour to mossy forest.
And for those just one to see the flower, you can contact Pakcik Awuk, 0116592757. You can make a call prior that,asking whether got flower or not, then you make an arrangement with him. A group of 10 or more is recommended, or if just only two to three, I would advice you to take the tour.
