BlackRock's Fink: Fiscal policy key to defusing toxic economic-political brew
Laurence D. Fink
Laurence D. Fink, chairman and CEO of the world's largest money manager, on Tuesday called fiscal policy — targeted at infrastructure spending — the answer for a toxic brew of economic and political challenges coming to a head now globally.
Briefing reporters on the sidelines of a BlackRock investor conference in Hong Kong, Mr. Fink expressed hope that G-7 leaders gathering in Japan on May 26 will recognize the "key pivot point" facing a global economy that's become addicted to monetary stimulus over the past eight years.
"Bold" central bank moves saved the world economy following the global financial crisis, but eight years on, the developed world's one-sided reliance on monetary policy has come to cause more harm than good, Mr. Fink said.
"If we have more of the same, we're going to be writing about how the world economy is slowing down very rapidly next year," he predicted.
The political stakes are high as well, said Mr. Fink, who tied the recent popularity of "extreme party representatives" in the U.S., such as Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, and in the Philippines and Spain to economic factors such as growing income inequality and declining job opportunities in those countries.
There are "30% to 40% of the population of various countries — of the United States, Spain, the U.K — where these families have lost hope," where they're working harder, earning less and seeing less-certain prospects for their children, he said.
In part, that economic uncertainty results from technological change, which is reducing the need for "human input" across all industries, Mr. Fink said.
Investment in infrastructure, powered by a "heavy dose of fiscal policy," is the answer to a range of the toughest problems facing developed countries today, Mr. Fink said.
Infrastructure spending can lead to "job creation for those that have lost out," while setting the stage for better economic growth over the long term, he said.
Meanwhile, with aggressive fiscal policy measures by Germany, the U.K., Japan, China and the U.S., central banks would be able to raise interest rates "in a systematic way that would not disrupt the economy," Mr. Fink said.
The outlook for pension funds and insurance companies will depend greatly on how quickly G-7 countries fire up their fiscal engines, Mr. Fink said.
If developed markets governments don't ratchet up fiscal policy at this point, it will put enormous pressure on pension funds, which will face ever steeper deficits worldwide because of reinvestments at low interest rates, Mr. Fink said.
"I would have a much darker view if I didn't believe governments are going to act," Mr. Fink said. "I have a strong view that governments are going to act," he said, adding "They must act."

Gene Map Locates Cancer's Achilles Heel
Update Date: Nov 27, 2015 01:53 PM EST
There is a new gene map that tells us how our genome works and how it can keep our cells alive. It has been completed by researchers at the University of Toronto, and gives us a better grasp on how our genome works, according to Phys.
Researchers explained in the probe, that they have "switched off 90 percent of the human genome one by one."
There is a total of about 18,000 genes. The scientists have found the genes that are fundamental for the survival of the cell. This can help them to determine those genes that are important in treating diseases such as cancer. They have identified 1,500 genes crucial for human survival, as well as groups of genes in cancer cell lines that lead to the growth of tumors. These studies can enable the scientists to build up drugs aimed at particular genetic lines, limiting tumors.
"It's when you get outside the core set of essential genes, that it starts to get interesting in terms of how to target particular genes in different cancers and other disease states," said Jason Moffat, co-author of the study.
An important tool that helped them to arrive at their result was the CRISPR technology that helped in gene editing, enabling them to turn genes on and off, as well as working out the influence of these genes on the body.
"We can now interrogate our genome at unprecedented resolution in human cells that we grow in the lab with incredible speed and accuracy," said Moffat. "In short order, this will lead to a functional map of cancer that will link drug targets to DNA sequence variation."
The genomic information helped Moffat and his team to employ metformin, just a diabetes drug, to kill brain cancer and colorectal cancer cells. Other antibiotics helped to kill alternate types of colorectal cancer.
"The Moffat group has developed a powerful CRISPR library that could be used by investigators around the world to identify new treatment strategies for the treatment of cancer," said Aaron Schimmer, a medical oncologist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, who was not part of the study. "I would be interested in using this tool to identify new treatment approaches for acute myeloid leukemia - a blood cancer with a high mortality rate."

For one day, we left our computer screens looking sadly at our empty seats, we put the red ProIT T-shirt on and traded our daily tasks for a nice run in nature.
Although the purpose was to help those organizations who help people to gather some money to bring a little bit of color into the gray life of people in need, eventually we ended up helping ourselves.
Everyone chose the trial they thought they could finish. Even though there were people running on their own and some who run at relay, ProIT presented itself as a real team. In every trial, you could see a red T-shirt that was struggling to get to the end.
The feeling on the route was a pleasant one. Although it was a contest and sometimes friendly rivalry was floating around, you could always find someone to encourage you, turning the contest into a race between friends.
Next year, ProIT team will be taking part again.


Almost as if it was meant to be, we chat with James Gulliver Hancock as he prepares for our Melbourne market, where you'll be able to pick up a personalised copy of his brand new book!
Tell us about your brand new book?
My latest book is a whimsical architectural tour of Melbourne. It is part of a series of books I've done where I obsessively document buildings in cities around the world. So far I've done New York, London, Sydney and Melbourne. I like to delve into cities and really take time drawing and observing not only the famous buildings but the normal everyday ones too. I like to build up almost like a personal diary of the city, with drawings that are more an expression of my experience of the whole city rather than just a postcard of the place.
I get very excited responses from people that have these books saying that everyone in the family enjoys having them around, from little kids exploring the city and noticing all the little details in the drawings, right up through to the older seasoned traveller who appreciates a fresh look at a place they thought they knew. It's really heart warming to hear how my drawings stimulate such strong memories of places and times.
What is your illustration process, do you visit all the places featured in the book?
I try to be in front of buildings as much as possible, drawing from life is so rewarding and allows for such great accidents to happen while you're drawing. Sometimes I also work from photos I take or that friends take for me. When I'm deciding what to include in the book it is a personal process, it starts with the places I've visited, whether that be an iconic building or a friends house and grows from there. Going for aimless wanders always uncovers great things, and also asking locals what they like about their city is a great way to connect too.
What is your illustration process, do you work exclusively in the digital format?
I always work with hand generated media at the outset, usually using an old dipping pen and ink, but also playing with pencil and markers at the same time. I also do a bit of collage when I'm in the studio, just to mix up the images a bit and make them more organic and interesting. I try to do drawings that aren't exactly perfect representations of the building, but more like quirky emotional views of them, whereby I give the building a character almost and make it jump out from it's everyday context.
What is your favourite place in Melbourne featured in the book? What do you like to do there?
I love walking in Melbourne, coming from bigger cities, I love that I can really cover a lot of the city on foot. I did a great walk from Collingwood to Southbank before starting this book and just couldn't stop drawing. The architecture really is special, I love all the detail in the older buildings, but I also love the bold new stuff too, even little old grandma cottages have me stopping and staring.
As for my favourite place, it's not really a specific spot but more a love of the way the city is organised, the long strips of shopfronts and the back alley coffee shops and hidden gems. It really is a city ripe for exploration like any of the great cities like Paris or New York.
Where do we go to get a copy!?
You can get a copy at all good bookstores or online, but a great way would be to visit me at the next SS16 Melbourne Markets Finders Keepers where I'll have heaps of copies on hand to sign and personalise. If you bring a photo of your house I might even have time to add a little drawing of your house to the front!


The Third Sentinel for Health Award was given to The Bold and The Beautiful (CBS) for the storyline, "Tony's HIV," for its portrayal of a young man learning to live with HIV. The award was presented at the Soap Summit conference sponsored by Population Communications International. The first-ever Pioneer for Health Award was given to Agnes Nixon for "Bert's Pap Smear," a storyline that aired in 1961-1962 on Guiding Light (CBS). Nixon's groundbreaking storyline is considered to be the first health storyline in daytime drama. The storyline "Ashley's Breast Cancer" from The Young and The Restless (CBS) was recognized as a finalist.

The Gateway Pundit – WEIRD: Western Australia Reportedly Has No COVID, Vaccinations Continue, But Hospitals Are Overwhelmed
By Joe Hoft
Source: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/11/weird-western-australia-no-covid-vaccinations-continue-hospitals-overwhelmed/
Something's going on in Western Australia. Vaccinations are very high – COVID is almost non-existent – But hospitals are overwhelmed with patients.
The Conservative Treehouse notes:
Noted by Alex Berenson, something very weird is happening in the state of Western Australia (WA) home to a population of almost 3 million people. The WA state has been locked down and isolated from the COVID-19 impacts in the eastern states.
There are very few COVID cases in locked down Western Australia, which has allowed them time to prepare for the potential arrival of the virus which includes a massive vaccination effort. The state has modeled an anticipated arrival of the COVID virus in early 2022, early next year. However, as the vaccination rates increase, the hospitals are being overwhelmed with new patients and the Premier cannot explain why.

Alex Berernson notes comments made by WA Premier Mark McGowan on October 31st about hospitals being currently overwhelmed. "Our hospitals are under enormous pressure. This is the same in [the rest of Australia]. This has been something no one has ever seen before, the growth in demand in our hospitals, why it is is hard, hard to know… There is huge numbers of people coming through the door, so we're doing everything we can to try to manage it," says Premier McGowan.
Here is a video of the State Premier explaining his state's situation.

And they don't know why.

We learn from the Qur'an that very often social and moral corruption was prevalent in a nation before a messenger was sent to that society. Once a messenger came to that society, those following him attained a blissful, peaceful and bountiful life even in the midst of their honourable struggle for the good pleasure of Allah. After this blessed period, however, some people drifted away from their spiritual values, revolted and ultimately tended almost to disbelief. In some cases, they worshipped gods other than Allah and thus were unjust to their own selves.
Those people who neglected their divine responsibilities suffered Allah's wrath expressed through various disasters. Allah withdrew His favour from these people. In accordance with the verse "But if anyone turns away from My reminder, his life will be a dark and narrow one..." (Surah Ta Ha, 124), they suffered from different afflictions such as scarcity and social and economic problems arising from their moral degeneration and political instability.
Under such circumstances where people suffer economic and social problems under the tyranny of unjust leaders, the need for a saviour is profoundly felt. This is the person who removes the unfavourable aspects of the system caused by the disbelief (kufr) of the ruler and his people and brings the peace, justice and security which come along with obedience to Allah and His Messenger.
After the Prophet Moses (as), the Children of Israel also faced the same difficulties under the rule of tyrants. They were driven from their homes and lands and suffered intensely. Realising that neither the idols they worshipped, nor their possessions, nor ancestors would save them from such undesirable circumstances, they asked for a king from Allah; a saviour who would save them from this cruel system.
"You will Not Find Any Changing in the Pattern of Allah"
From the stories related in the Qur'an, we understand that almost the same fate befell each of the past civilisations that revolted against their messengers. The circumstances under which people led their lives, the sending of messengers to warn them and destruction of some of them all follow the same pattern.
Modern societies also undergo rapid corruption and degeneration. Poverty, misery and disorder throw the lives of people into complete disarray and make them wish for a peaceful life where virtue prevails. Apparently, justice can prevail only if the values of the Qur'an become predominant among people. Only people having real values can bring solutions to all the troubles that people experience today.
In the age in which we live, one observes degeneration, both physical and spiritual, in society at large accompanied by economic and political instability. Huge gaps exist between rich and poor, and social corruption is steadily escalating. All these point to significant developments that will take place in the near future. After such dark periods, with the return of the Prophet Jesus (as) and the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi (as), the religion of Allah will certainly prevail over the entire world and the true religion will supersede all pagan religions.
In the above verse, we learn that the criterion for the spread of Islam is the existence of believers who are purely slaves of Allah without ascribing partners to Him and who engage in good deeds in His way.
We have seen that in every age, Allah has answered the call of His slaves who desperately needed His help. This also holds true for this age and for the future. As was the case with earlier ages, in our time, too, Allah will save people from the injustice of the system of disbelief and present them with the beauty of Islam.
In particular, the deliverance of the Islamic world from the troubles that beset it, as revealed in the hadith, is close at hand. Surely, as in every age, today people hope that a saviour will appear. This saviour, that will take mankind from 'darkness to the light,' is the religion of Islam. The Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as), who will be the means whereby people will live by these superior values, will defeat intellectually all the systems that deny Allah, and they will render corrupted ideologies invalid.


We've been talking about the rewards and challenges of growing marijuana, and that includes where should you grow it, and how should you grow marijuana.
When I decided to get serious about growing marijuana, I looked at all my options and was very favorable towards getting a hydroponics grow tent.
Advertisements for medical marijuana grow tents made it look like a plug and play solution for people who don't have or don't want to use or build a grow room as part of a dwelling structure.
Pretty much like having a marijuana garden camp out in some room of my house, without me having to cut vent holes into my walls or ceiling.
So I went to the hydroponics store expecting to buy a tent that was pretty much as easy to set up as an outdoor camping tent. But I was way too optimistic.
For one thing, selecting a grow tent isn't easy.
The materials and workmanship of grow tents vary greatly, sometimes a manufacturer will make one grow tent correctly, but another tent will have light leaks or bad zippers.
Bad grow tents mean: light leaks; hydroponics grow lights that are too heavy for the tent's upper frame poles (so the grow lights fall and crush your plants); zippered doors and ports that don't zip properly; not enough (or poorly placed) port holes for vent fans, ducts, electrical feeds; dull interior reflective materials; bad corner supports; poor sewing and fabricating; light leaks.
But that list doesn't include one of the worst problems with a hydroponics grow tent: some have off-gassed poisons that killed people's marijuana plants!!!
Just type "marijuana grow tent, off-gassing" into your search engine and you'll find many scary reports about growers having plant problems, desperately adjusting nutrients and other factors to fix them, then discovering it was their tents.
There's bad stuff in the materials some tents are made of; when the heat and other factors of growing come into play, the materials release toxins that kill marijuana plants.
I talked to a hydroponics storeowner about this and he said even some major manufacturers of grow tents have produced defective tents, including off-gassing tents, within just the last few years.
The storeowner alerted me to an article that details how not just grow tents but irrigation tubing, insulation materials, and other hydroponics materials have been implicated in transferring poison to marijuana plants.
In some cases, we can't be sure if the materials for sure caused the problems, but the threat seems real, and it influenced by grow tent search.
I went from grow shop to grow shop looking at grow tents.
I saw I could pay $500-1100 or more for a 4 x 8 grow tent that would give me room for two 1000-watt HID grow lights and maybe a dozen big plants with little more than six feet of vertical headroom.
Some grow tents had adjustable height. I liked that.
Or I could get a cheaper grow tent and risk the whole thing crashing down on my plants, which is what other marijuana growers, and hydro store people, warned me about.
I could not get a straight answer out of the store people about all the different accessories I'd have to buy along with the tent, such as vent fan, vent tubing, carbon filter, light cooler tubes and/or hoods, oscillating fans, and other gear.
Nor could anyone assure me with 100% certainty that if I put a lot of gear onto the ceiling frame that the tent would absolutely stand up and my stuff would never fall off and ruin my grow.
Also, I was repeatedly warned that getting heat out of a grow tent could be a problem if I used too much HID grow lighting, or if I had the grow tent in a place that didn't have cool air that could be sucked into the tent.
Now maybe I'm lazy but I was looking for a plug and play package that had all the components I needed to build the tent, hook up all the necessary air control and electricals, and get growing.
But nobody sold that kind of comprehensive package.
Instead, I'd have to piece together a bunch of parts and hope they all fit my grow tent.
When you're learning how to grow marijuana, these kinds of frustrating experiences are what you get used to.
For the record, the trendiest marijuana grow tents with the most favorable mentions and marketing are "Gorilla" grow tents.
The Gorilla people seem to have looked at and fixed all the problems of many other brands of marijuana grow tents, and they have special features like infrared blocking, which makes it harder for heat radar to find your grow.
Are you guessing I didn't end up getting a grow tent for my marijuana garden?
If so, you guessed right!
But I've seen growers use grow tents for highly-productive medical marijuana growing in a portable, pre-engineered grow environment.

Review from Alternativ Musik
Posted by Nick Skog on Wednesday, May 1, 2013 Under: Album Reviews
From: Alternativ Musik
Published; May 1, 2013
*Google translation of German review
The Odradek moves around the house round about, according to your own rules, it speaks grown, but his features are childlike, laws do not apply to this. So at least in the history of the care of the father's house of Franz Kafka. Surreal, only dimly imaginable and now a part of the name of the band originating from the Ukraine. Thematically, their first album, however based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. All this can be a very surreal and unfathomable listening experience expect in reality it looks but for quite different, as this relatively down to earth when the end does not sound conventional. For this, the band demonstrates a flair for the right moment and for the listener knows how to pack.
It is somewhere between post-black metal and doom metal, with the latter coming from the slow riffs of the former, the interleaved melodies that can be difficult to unravel. Despite the severity but can also be dreamy moments to locate where the riffing times not drags on. One is tempted to think in these moments of Alcest, where Odradek room at such moments only of the French resemble the mood here, musically it remains independent. In other passages, there are Flüstergesang, sometimes it is almost ballad, if a piano is heard to threaten and then put the heavy riffs and smother it over this.
The actual elements, which can be heard on the album are not necessarily spectacular, but it makes the mixture. Room Odradek know how to put items together in an interesting way and let the listener sink into the music, which Bardo. Relative reality developed its own charm.

Storming the Museum
One of my favorite eccentric painters is, James Mallord William Turner. Turner was a painter at a time when England was changing from the old world leader to the new industrial revolution leader; from the slower and beautiful world of schooner ships to steam locomotives, iron ships and bridges. It was a time of rapid changes in their world. Turner painted in an unconventional way from his contemporaries possibly because he never really felt part of their club as he came from the working class. He managed to go to the best schools because of his talent but, he never felt accepted.
When talking with TCPM curator, Carla Albright about doing a paint night at the museum, I brought up Turner. She seemed surprised and said "that's an impressive painter to pick!" My thought was, Tillamook is a place of storms that blow through you...just as Turner's paintings show! Storms are something that people here can relate to! Even though so far this year, we haven't seen many!
This particular painting, Snow Storm - Steam-Boat off a Harbour's Mouth Making Signals in Shallow Water, has a famous story attached to it. This is the painting where Turner supposedly lashed himself to the mast of the ship he was on and painted in the storm! Can you imagine doing that? I am not sure he did do that, but the way he painted made people think it was done on the spot. It has the feeling of the moment.
So, I started my painting using his kind of tools: palette knives, brushes and his very favorite tool-- old rags! It was challenging and fun! I tried to think of how to break it down into parts and slowly build up the color, the waves, and finally... added the details,making sure to keep the rag to smudge all along! Smudging can make anything look better or completely go away! The more I study the painting, the more I see how much he left so much to the viewer's imagination...incomplete lines.
Although we can only approximate this wonderful painting, it is a fun challenge to try painting a storm at sea! I have a second attempt started, and invite you to come try your hand. Join us for Art Accelerated's Paint Night: Storming the Museum, Saturday, March 2nd, 6 - 8pm at the Pioneer Museum on Second Street in Tillamook. For fifty dollars we will supply everything needed for your masterpiece as well as food and drink! I will be leading the Storming Paint Night, and we will have extra helpers to aid your efforts as well.

I don't normally wear much make-up, but on my wedding day, I plan to use foundation to even out my skin tone and cover some pimples. My concern is mainly about the foundation as I can just imagine all my relatives holding my face, hugging and kissing my cheeks. Is there a good foundation that is long lasting? Also, I do not want to spend a lot of money as I do not plan to use foundation after my wedding day.
Foundations prices vary widely. In a department store, you can sample the foundation before buying. Some department stores might give you a small sample to take home and try for a few days. Although department store cosmetics tend to be more expensive than the drugstore brands, the department store brand might be more cost effective in the long run. Because you cannot sample drugstore brands, you may have to purchase several foundations before finding one with the texture, coverage, and shade that works best for your skin.
Foundations that are long lasting, give good coverage, look natural, and good for combination oily/dry skin are listed below. However, some foundations are more smudge-proof or transfer resistant than others. It's best to try out new cosmetics for a trial run well before the wedding date to make sure it suits your skin tone and type and tone. Remember to use moisturizer on your face and let it dry before putting on your foundation.
In addition, applying foundation primer also helps keep makeup lasting longer. See the letter, "Face Primer Keeps Shine Off and Smoothes Wrinkles."
Below are several brands of long lasting foundations that have been given high positive ratings from consumers at Makeupalley.com. Many reviewers stated that the makeup lasted many hours or all day.
To read the reviews, go to www.makeupalley.com. New products are always being developed and old products discontinued, so check your local cosmetics, drugstore, or department store for availability.

Nominee to lead war in Afghanistan: Can't guarantee end date
Danielle Haynes
June 19 (UPI) -- Lt. Gen. Scott Miller, President Donald Trump's nominee to take over command of the war in Afghanistan, told senators Tuesday he can't guarantee an end date to the 17-year conflict.
Speaking at his confirmation hearing before the Senate Committee on Armed Services, Miller warned against talking about "turning points" in the war.
"I can't guarantee you a timeline or an end date -- I know that going into this position -- or offer necessarily a turning point, unless there is one, unless there's something to report back and something has changed," he said.
Miller said Afghanistan is in crisis and challenges -- including Taliban territorial gains, Afghan force losses, food insecurity and political corruption -- need to be addressed.
RELATED UNHCR: Record 69 million people forcibly displaced in 2017
"This is about protecting U.S. citizens, when you go right to the heart of the issue," Miller said.
Trump nominated Miller in the spring to take over for Army Gen. John Nicholson Jr.
Should he be confirmed, Miller would be the next commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan. He is commander of the Joint Special Operations Command, in which he oversees Special Mission Units like the Navy's SEAL Team Six and the Army's Delta Force.
RELATED At least 18 killed in second Afghanistan suicide bombing
Several senators expressed support for Miller, whose confirmation is considered likely.
In August, Trump said although he thought the war in Afghanistan was too lengthy, "the consequences of a rapid exit are both predictable and unacceptable" and that a "hasty withdrawal would create a vacuum that terrorists, including [the Islamic State] and al-Qaida, would instantly fill, just as happened before September 11."
Defense Secretary James Mattis announced in September an additional 3,000 U.S. troops would be sent to Afghanistan, bringing the total in country to about 14,000.

Esher Rugby is excited to announce a new medical partnership
Esher Rugby is excited to announce a new medical partnership with the Meliora Medical Group
At a time when player safety and welfare are at the very top of rugby's agenda, Esher Rugby is excited to announce a new medical partnership with the Meliora Medical Group and in particular their Return2Play sports medicine division, that will benefit the entire club. The link with the Meliora Medical Group will greatly enhance the medical provision the club provides on many levels, from minis to the 1st XV squad.
Esher's Director of Rugby, Peter Winterbottom, welcomed the agreement, saying, "This partnership with Meliora is welcomed by all the players, coaches and medical staff at Esher Rugby. Player welfare is taken extremely seriously by the club especially with concussion management an area that Meliora's Return2Play specialise in. Having Meliora Medical Group work alongside our existing medical team will give all the players the confidence that their welfare is paramount."
Deputy President John Inverdale described it as 'fundamental to the future of the game at Molesey Road' and an integral part of all future planning for the sport."
Dr Sam Barke, head of sports medicine at Meliora Medical Group, said of the partnership "We are delighted to be working with Esher to provide their players with access to the highest levels of medical care. Esher's dedication to player welfare has been obvious since the start of discussions and their desire for all levels and ages at the club, not just the 1stXV, and to be included is testament to that"
"Return2Play, part of Meliora Medical Group, is a leading sports medicine provider for schools, clubs and universities. They have a particular expertise in the management of concussion."

I went to LACMA over the weekend to check out Michael Heizer's new sculpture, Levitated Mass. I love earthworks, and land art, so naturally, I was looking forward to this. Seeing the two-story megatlith in person, I thought it was really awesome. Sure, maybe I wished it was in the great barren desert instead but seeing it planted in the urban environment made it interesting. If you're in LA, I urge you to go check it out.
And I had to throw in the last photo of the older gentleman with Tony Smith's Smoke sculpture levitating in the background. Probably my favorite photo from that day at LACMA.

TSA Admits Fault for 1.2 Mile Security Line at Chicago Midway
On Sunday, November 30, the busiest travel day of the year, post-Thanksgiving travelers flying out of Chicago-Midway International Airport (MDW) found themselves stuck in a security line that stretched about one mile with wait times of 20-75 minutes, requiring the help of Chicago police officers to manage surrounding airport car and foot traffic.
The TSA now blames itself for this snafu, citing its failure to open security lanes until 4 am (30 minutes after the airport opened its ticket counters) and staffing levels that were lower than planned.
Some passengers waiting in Midway's epic security line last Sunday took to social media to express their frustration.
The security line ran across Midway's main terminal, through the parking garage, and into a corridor leading to the airport's CTA Orange Line station. Some waiting passengers measured the line at 1.2 miles, a number that was picked up by various media outlets, but the TSA contends that the distance to the CTA station is actually less than a half-mile.
The first flight of the day was scheduled on Southwest at 5:25 a.m., 90 minutes after the opening of security. Wait times for security hit their peak between 6-8 am, and most delays were cleared by 9:30 am, but in the meantime, many in line took to Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to express their dismay, stoking ire as well as attention to the story.
Others commented on the situation with critical words and extra punctuation.
The TSA will continue to look into what went wrong, but it's fair to say that a better holiday season plan is needed at MDW, especially for those days when security employees fall sick or simply don't show up to work. If you're traveling through Chicago-Midway during Christmas or New Year's, I wish you luck, patience and a reasonable wait time.
What's the worst airport security delay you've ever experienced?

Noel Family Endows SMU Law School Deanship
DALLAS (SMU) — SMU's Dedman School of Law has became one of the few law schools in the country with an endowed deanship, through a $4 million gift from the Noel family of Houston in honor of the late Judge James L. Noel Jr.
Dean John B. Attanasio
The Noel gift is matched with $1 million from the Dedman family of Dallas, for a total endowment of $5 million. John B. Attanasio, dean of the Dedman School since 1998, will hold the Judge James Noel Deanship and Professorship of Law.
"Judge Noel was a distinguished alumnus of the SMU School of Law, and we are honored to have the school's deanship bear his name," said SMU President R. Gerald Turner. "We are deeply grateful to the Noel family, many of whom are SMU graduates, for their investment in the future of SMU's law school."
"This is a wonderful way to honor Judge Noel and a truly historic moment for Dedman School of Law," said Dean Attanasio. "Only a small number of law schools in the country have endowed deanships, and even fewer are endowed at the $5 million level."
Noel earned an LL.B. from SMU's School of Law in 1938, after receiving two undergraduate degrees from SMU — a B.S. in civil engineering in 1931 and a B.S. in commerce in 1932. He worked as an assistant district attorney in Dallas County while in law school and upon graduating became an assistant Texas attorney general. After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, he joined the U.S. Navy and served as a legal officer in Hawaii during World War II. Following his military service, he returned to the Texas attorney general's office as the lead oil and gas lawyer before joining the Houston law firm of Butler, Binion, Rice & Cook. He later established his own law firm. In 1961 President John F. Kennedy appointed Noel to the federal district court bench in Houston, where he served until 1976.
Judge Noel's five children and their spouses, all of whom live in Houston, joined together in making the gift to SMU. Four of the five children have SMU degrees, including three from Dedman School of Law: Carol Noel King, Robert C. Noel and William D. Noel, who serves on the school's Executive Board. Another son, Edmund O. Noel, received his undergraduate degree from SMU. James L. Noel III attended law school in Houston, but his daughter, Mindy McGehee Riseden, graduated from Dedman School of Law.
"This is a wonderful example of one of SMU's leading families, the Noels, contributing to the success of future SMU students through this generous endowment of the law deanship," said Paul W. Ludden, SMU provost and vice president for academic affairs. "The Judge James Noel Deanship will ensure SMU's ability to retain the very best talent in the leadership position of the Dedman School of Law."
Under Dean Attanasio's leadership, Dedman School of Law has made significant advancements in the past 10 years. Dedman Law graduates had the state's highest passing rates for first-time test takers on the July 2008 bar exam. The Texas Lawyer ranked Dedman Law first in a 2008 survey on student satisfaction at Texas law schools. A major milestone was the school's naming in 2001 in honor of law school alumnus and benefactor Robert H. Dedman Sr. and his family. Reinstatement of the Evening Law Program in 2004, after an absence of 36 years, has enabled numerous area residents who cannot attend daytime classes to pursue law degrees from SMU. The school has extended its longstanding tradition of public service with the addition of two new legal clinics, making a total of six clinics serving diverse community needs.
Founded in 1925, Dedman School of Law is among the nation's 25 most competitive law schools for admission. Dedman Law offers the Juris Doctor, Master's and Doctor of Law degrees.

Heart failure is a chronic disease that requires ongoing treatment. A number of different treatment options are available, including medication, medical devices and surgical procedures. In the early stages of heart failure, we may prescribe one or more medications to treat the symptoms of your disease. As your disease progresses, we may recommend more invasive treatment options, such as heart valve repair or replacement, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), a pacemaker or coronary bypass surgery. The worst cases of heart failure may necessitate heart transplant. Your doctor will be able to tell you which of these treatment options will be most effective in your condition. In some cases, multiple treatments may be combined for better results.
An arrhythmia is an abnormality in the speed or rhythm of your heartbeat. The specifics of the condition will determine which treatment option is best. At Cardiovascular Associates, we offer medicinal treatment for patients with arrhythmia, as well as surgical treatments. If your heart beats too quickly, we may prescribe a medicine to slow it down to a normal rate. If your heart beats too slowly, on the other hand, we may recommend a pacemaker to ensure that your heart maintains a healthy speed. In some cases, we may also treat slow or abnormal heart rhythms with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, or ICD. This device monitors your heartbeat continuously and sends an electric shock to the heart when an abnormal rhythm is detected.
When the heart doesn't form properly before birth, a congenital heart disease results. At Cardiovascular Associates, we can treat all types of congenital heart problems in adult patients, ranging from mild abnormalities to severe defects requiring surgery. If your condition is mild, we may recommend a "watch and wait" approach and/or medication to help your heart function properly. For more severe defects, we may recommend surgery to repair the issue. Regardless of the treatment plan you choose, your condition should be monitored throughout your life, as congenital heart defects put you at risk for serious complications like endocarditis.
One in four women in the U.S. dies from heart disease, making it the number one killer of women in this country. Fortunately, the specialists at Cardiovascular Associates can help you manage your heart disease and improve your health. We offer a range of treatments designed to help you improve your heart health, including medications and surgical procedures. Medications commonly prescribed to women with heart disease include drugs that lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure or prevent blood clots from forming. If your condition is more serious, we may perform surgical procedures, including angioplasty or coronary artery bypass.
An interventional cardiologist is a specialist who has received additional training in diagnosing and treating heart disease using catheterization. At Cardiovascular Associates, our interventional cardiologists are leaders in the field, offering all of the most effective diagnostic procedures and treatments to patients. If you have any signs or symptoms of heart problems, our interventional cardiologists can perform a diagnostic catheterization procedure to determine whether a problem exists. We can also use catheterization to treat some heart problems, including blockages. This option is a less invasive alternative for patients with mild heart problems, as well as those who aren't good candidates for open heart surgery.
At Cardiovascular Associates, we treat all types of vein conditions, including problems related to thrombosis and venous insufficiency. For patients with superficial thrombophlebitis, we may prescribe medication or at-home treatments designed to alleviate symptoms. We will also monitor the condition over time. For patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT), our goal is to prevent serious complications, such as pulmonary embolism. Depending on the specifics of your condition, we may use medications, clot-busting or surgery to resolve DVT. For patients with venous insufficiency, we offer a variety of procedures to treat varicose veins, including sclerotherapy, ambulatory phlebectomy and laser ablation.
Peripheral vascular disease, or PVD, affects the blood vessels found outside the heart and brain. If you have been diagnosed with PVD, we can help you take steps to improve your condition. Depending on the extent of the damage, we may be able to control your condition with medication and lifestyle changes. For example, we may prescribe medication to control blood pressure, blood clots, diabetes or other complicating factors. We may also recommend that you stop smoking, begin an exercise regimen or change your eating habits. If your condition continues to progress, we can also perform angioplasty or bypass surgery to resolve blockages.
The doctors at Cardiovascular Associates use diagnostic imaging to identify problems in the cardiovascular system. Diagnostic imaging is often one of the first steps we take when evaluating new patients. Depending on your symptoms, we may recommend a computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or an echocardiogram. Each of these tests provides us with different information about the structure and function of your heart and blood vessels. With a CT scan, we can see detailed images of the heart and the surrounding structures, which allows us to estimate your risk of heart disease or look at any existing stents. With a cardiac MRI, we can evaluate the anatomy and function of the heart, which can be useful in diagnosing heart failure, heart disease and other conditions. An echocardiogram allows us to watch the heart in motion in order to diagnose valve problems, blood flow anomalies and other issues.
In cases where arrhythmia or other electrical issues are suspected, an electrophysiology, or EP, study is often necessary. During this procedure, we insert catheters and wire electrodes into the heart through areas in the groin and the neck so we can record electrical signals and evaluate the function of your heart. We may also use medication to stimulate an arrhythmia during this test so that we can evaluate it in a safe environment. Once this test is complete, we will be able to recommend various treatments that will improve your condition.
Cardio-oncology is the intersection of heart conditions in patients who have been treated for cancer. Cardiovascular Associates can assess patients for potential risk of developing heart conditions if patients take certain types of cancer drugs, or following radiation treatment to the chest. They also help oncologists protect their patients during treatment by closely watching the heart and recognizing heart trouble early in treatment.
A nuclear stress test measures blood flow to your heart at rest and while your heart is working harder as a result of exertion or medication. The test provides images that can show areas of low blood flow through the heart and damaged heart muscle. The test usually involves taking two sets of images of your heart — one while you're at rest and another after you heart is stressed, either by exercise or medication. You may be given a nuclear stress test, which involves injecting a radioactive dye into your bloodstream, if your doctor suspects you have coronary artery disease or if a routine stress test did not pinpoint the cause of symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath. A nuclear stress test may also be used to guide your treatment if you've been diagnosed with a heart condition.

* It's pretty. It's real. Help your body ward it off.
If you have an eating disorder, whether or not you are in recovery, please know that this flu season holds particular risks for you. An eating disorder is an illness and therefore compromises your immune system regardless of how you look or how you think about yourself.
If you binge or starve or purge, if you exercise more than others, if food dominates your thinking, if you isolate to feel safe then it's vital that you pay attention to flu prevention activities.
If you catch the flu with a weak immune system you could be seriously ill for a long time. It's easier to catch the flu and more difficult to get better when your body is in a weakened condition.
Avoid touching your face and if you do, wash your hands and face.
Use some kind of cleansing wipe on: dance bars, exercise equipment, keypads, toilet flushers, grocery cart handles – anything that receives a lot of hand contact, especially if it includes contact from others.
Be assertive. If someone near you is coughing or sneezing into the air or into their hands and then touching something, please ask them to use tissue or leave the area, whichever is most appropriate.
Check with your doctor about the advisability of taking vitamin supplements.
Don't get too hungry, thirsty or tired.
This flu season is particularly of concern. It started earlier which means it may last longer. It's at high or extreme levels in every state. Don't be misled because the information coming out says the people most vulnerable are aged under eight or over 65. Included are people who already suffer from some kind of illness. That means you.

My name is Jayme Fenhaus. This is my 12th year teaching. I have been at Indiahoma for 7 years. I grew up and attended Kindergarten through 12th grade here. I went to college and received my bachelor's degree from Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma. I majored in Elementary Education with additional certification in Early Childhood Education. I am very excited about the upcoming year.
I hope to touch the hearts and lives of my students and share a love for learning through my actions, spirit, and teaching. I want each child to feel safe and happy in my classroom and understand that I am here to help him/her learn and grow. I hope that all of my students will discover that learning, and even homework, can be fun, rewarding, and exciting. It is my expectation that each of my students will always try to do their best in everything they do.

Denmark – The Land of Happy Vikings
Where on Earth is Denmark?
Apart from its islands, the other notable feature of the Danish landscape is that it's flat. Really really flat. Like, pancake flat. According to Worldatlas.com, Denmark is the country with the 5th lowest average elevation in the world. It's highest point, Mollehoj, is only 560 feet above sea level. By way of comparison, the great English writer and fell walker Alfred Wainwright listed 214 fells in the English Lake District. All of them are a lot higher than the highest point in Denmark.
Not considered part of Denmark proper, but autonomous regions within the Kingdom of Denmark are Greenland and the Faroe Islands. As a child I always remembered Greenland was actually icy rather than green, as compared with Iceland which was green rather than icy. This rather simple mnemonic seems to hold up rather well. Greenland is the world's second largest island – Australia is first – and is fifty times the size of Denmark, but over 75% of it is permanently covered in ice. Greenland's ice sheet, in case you wanted to know, is the only permanent continental glacier outside of Antarctica.
Here Be Vikings! A Brief History of Denmark
Denmark emerged in the 10th century as a tough seafaring nation that seemed particularly keen on visiting England, directly across the North Sea to the west of the country. First up I should dispel the image that's just popped into your head of bearded Danes struggling with large suitcases as they disembarked in Northumbria for their annual holiday. I can do this with one word: Vikings! Yes, many of the Vikings that ravaged England in the centuries leading up to the Norman conquest came from Denmark. They came to plunder and extort money – more Anglo Saxon coins have been found in Denmark that in England – and many of them stayed. Remember King Canute in your English History class? He was actually Danish. He wasn't even just the king of England either, he was king of Denmark, Norway and parts of Sweden as well, ruling an Anglo-Scandinavian Empire for nearly 20 years. The coming of the Normans ended Danish influence, but oh wait, the Normans themselves were descended from Vikings. Those guys were everywhere!
Nyhaven, Copenhagen
After they settled down from the excesses of their Viking days, the Danes became fairly peaceable, and their history can be characterised by their relationship with Norway and Sweden. From 1397 the three countries were ruled together for over a hundred years. They fell out with Sweden, but continued their union with Norway until well into the 19th century. They were neutral in World War I, but fell under German occupation in World War II. Looking at Denmark's history of the last few hundred years, it is in many respects a sad one of declining power, influence and territory. In some respects a parallel can be drawn with Britain and its loss of Empire in the latter part of the 20th century although for Denmark the losses are mostly much closer to home. One commonly held view is that because Denmark has lost so much, it has made the Danes more inward looking, more tribal and more content with what they've got. It is thought that this could be a key component in the Danes being the happiest people in the world.
Denmark joined the European Union in 1973, the same year as the UK, and similar to the UK has secured a number of opt outs. Denmark and the UK are the only two countries in the EU that are not legally bound to adopting the Euro. I wonder in Denmark's case whether it has anything to do with their frankly brilliant krone coins that have holes in like a polo mint. I don't know why more countries don't have coins with holes in, saves on metal and you can literally string a bunch of coins together! (Note – there are a few other countries that have coins with holes in, but not many at all).
Billund – Lego Town
As usual, I went in search of a traditional or quintessential place to write about, but ended up somewhere that is neither, but when I read about it, I simply had to choose this place! Billund is a small town in the Jutland peninsula area of Denmark. It has a population of only just over six thousand, and yet has the second busiest airport in Denmark, with the place being one of the most visited in Denmark.
Legoland, Billund
The town of Billund has been around since the 16th century, and there is nothing in its history to suggest why it would become such a popular place. It remained a small, insignificant backwater town for hundreds of years. Then in 1930, a Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen started making miniature toys in the town, which at that time was more of a village with only 300 inhabitants. Two years later he founded a toy company, which a name an abbreviation of the Danish words 'leg' and 'godt' which means 'play well'. At first these were wooden toys, but in 1949 they started producing small plastic bricks. Yes, you guessed it, the Lego company was born. From humble beginnings they grew from strength to strength until today it is the biggest toy manufacturer in the world. Along the way, the town of Billund grew up around it, with housing, a town hall, a school and a waterworks soon following. In 1959, the Lego Company opened the Legoland theme park, and built Billund airport in 1962. While it started out as a private company airport, it was later opened to the public and is now the second biggest airport in Denmark after Copenhagen.
Looking round on Streetview, I half expected the town of Billund itself to be made of Lego, but sadly not. It is however a very green place with lots of smart looking bungalows (the streets I saw didn't seem to have houses with more than one floor). Those in search of Lego are in luck however, as Streetview can take you around Legoland itself, so you can admire all the lego models from afar, including recreations of oil rigs, castles and windmills. It will even take you to the door of the men's toilets, but fortunately the cameraman turned off the camera when he went to relieve himself!
Unsurprisingly, according to Tripadvisor the number one attraction in Billund is Legoland, it would be rather surprising if it wasn't. Reviews are generally overwhelmingly favourable, and it sounds like one of the big draws is that there are hardly any queues for the rides. It seems also that there's quite a few Londoners who, disgusted with the prices for Legoland in London, booked a cheap flight to Billund for the day!
There are a few other things to do in Billund apart from Legoland. There is a sculpture park with lots of sculptures not made of small plastic bricks, a few museums and a sightseeing tour. There is also a Fodboldgolf course. A what? Fodboldgolf is football golf. Basically, it is an 18 hole course where you've got to get the football in each hole in as few kicks as possible. What a great idea! Apparently it started in Sweden about 10 years ago, so maybe I'll learn more when I get on to Sweden. Anyway, the course in Billund has instructions in both Danish and English, so easy for visitors to have a go. If only I had a giant back garden, I'd be out constructing a course of my own right now!
Food in Denmark
Most people have heard of Danish pastries, and it turns out that the Danes really are into them, with all sorts of different pastries with exciting names like kanelsnegle, frosnapper and brunsviger. It turns out that pastries is not the only thing they are good at, and with their New Nordic Cuisine they are really leading the way in culinary innovation. I was going to write a couple of paragraphs on the wonders of food in Denmark, but decided it really needed an article all to itself. So read all about Danish food here.

Food in Finland


text:
The slaves imported in Louisiana were mostly shipped from the harbors of three major regions of the coast of Africa: Senegambia, the Bight of Benin, and West-Central Africa. The majority of the slave force came from Senegambia throughout the Colonial period.
Senegambia
Senegambia is part of the tropical zone, wide open to the Atlantic Ocean, between the Sahara desert and the tropical forests of Guinea. The Senegal and the Gambia are the main rivers through which people from the interior, like the Bambara and the Mandingo, were sold as slaves. The Gambia River is the main route of penetration into the hinterland and divides the region in two parts: Northern Senegambia and Southern Senegambia. Northern Senegambia was the site of many political constructions based on hierarchical societies. Millet was the principal food crop and Islam became the principal religion without erasing the traditional practices. The main ethnic groups are the Wolof, the Fulbe, the Sereer, and the Moors. Up to 1742, the trade of Senegal was a monopoly of the French Company of the West Indies which had its headquarters in Saint-Louis at the mouth of the Senegal River. Gorée Island was the principal entrepôt where both merchandise and slaves were stored before being shipped away. The trade of the Gambia River was under the control of the British who constantly competed with the French. The Bambara and the Mandingo were among the most frequent ethnicities on Louisiana plantations. They contributed very deep cultural influences to the culture of Louisiana including masking, which eventually led to the resilient tradition of the Mardi Gras Indians of New Orleans. The Wolof, the Moors, and the Fulbe were respectively designated as Senegal, Nard, and Poullard. Nard is the Wolof name for Moors. The Fulbe of Fuuta Tooro call themselves Haal Pulaar (Pulaar speakers). Senegal and Poullard have been retained as family names in Southwest Louisiana. The Bouki and Lapin folktales of Louisiana originated from Senegambia. These tales also survived in Haiti (Bouki and Ti Malice), in Florida, and the Bahamas (Bouky and Rabby). Bouki is the Wolof name for the hyena. His name came with the enslaved Africans and one can still recognize him under the disguise of a wild coyote, along with Bugs Bunny, the Warner Bros' rendition of Compère Lapin aka Brer Rabbit.
Political unrest and natural contingencies such as drought pushed many people toward Southern Senegambia. This region comprised the area reaching from the Gambia River in the north, down to the forest of Guinea in the south. All along the coastal side, from Casamance to Sierra Leone, a myriad of streams colonized by thick mangrove swamps pour into the Atlantic Ocean. This region, called "Rivières du Sud" (Southern Rivers) by French sailors or Rios de Guinea by the Spanish and the Portuguese, became a refuge for people such as the Jola, Balanta, Baňun, Manjak, Mankaň, Papel, Baga, Nalu, Landuman, Susu, Temne, Kisi, Toma, etc. Through the centuries, they established egalitarian societies where life was centered on villages. Rice was and still is their principal staple crop. Moving eastward from the coast, the mangrove swamps transitioned into vegetation coverage composed of a mixture of savanna-like grasses and rainforest. In this area, Fulbe and Mandingo migrants created respectively the kingdoms of Fuuta Jalon and Kaabu, which became strong slaving powers. Southern Senegambia contributed 10% of the total volume of the trans-Atlantic slave trade with the birth and the backing of the theocratic state of Fuuta Jalon, where Islam provided an ideological justification for the enslavement of "pagans." The Fulbe of Fuuta Jalon were also the victims of this chaotic situation. The most famous among them was Abdul Rahman Barry, a son of Ibrahima Sori, king of Fuuta Jallon. In 1788, he was captured during warfare against the neighbouring Mandingo kingdom of Kaabu and sold to the coast. He was then taken to the Caribbean island of Dominica and from there to New Orleans where he was sold to Thomas Foster, a planter established in Natchez, Mississipi. He spent forty years in bondage in this city where he was referred to as Prince. The captives sold from the Southern Rivers played a very important role in the development of rice cultivation in the US South, notably South Carolina and Louisiana. In its instructions for Sr. Herpin, Captain of L'Aurore, the first slave ship sent to Louisiana from the African coast (July 4, 1718), the French Company of the West Indies included the obligation to acquire rice and slaves who knew how to cultivate it, somewhere, between Cape Mount and Cape Mesurade. Senegambia provided the majority of the slaves imported into the Americas from the 15th century through the 17th century. This region still exported large numbers of slaves during the 18th and the 19th centuries, but never on the same scale as other regions of Africa such as the Bight of Benin or Central Africa.

Q: How use spring-boot Two DataSources I tryng to use Two DataSources with spring boot, than I configure just like the tutorial : http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.3.1.RELEASE/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-two-datasources
@Configuration
public class MigrarService {

    @Bean(name = "dbdnaso")
    @Primary
    @ConfigurationProperties(prefix="spring.dbdnaso")
    public DataSource primaryDataSource() {
        return DataSourceBuilder.create().build();
    }

    @Bean(name = "dbregistro")
    @ConfigurationProperties(prefix="spring.dbregistro")
    public DataSource dbRegistro() {
        return DataSourceBuilder.create().build();
    }

}

Then I create 2 entity and 2 repositories
import br.com.lumera.entity.TbUsuario;
import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;

public interface IUsuario1 extends CrudRepository<TbUsuario1, Integer>{

    TbUsuario1 getTbUsuarioByNmEmail(String nmEmail);

    TbUsuario1 getTbUsuarioByNmEmailAndDsSenha(String nmEmail, String string);
}

and
import br.com.lumera.entity.TbUsuario;
import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;

public interface IUsuario2 extends CrudRepository<TbUsuario2, Integer>{

    TbUsuario2 getTbUsuarioByNmEmail(String nmEmail);

    TbUsuario2 getTbUsuarioByNmEmailAndDsSenha(String nmEmail, String string);
}

Now how can I say how datasource I use in every repository??
tks

A: If you are using auto configuration and if you have two, it will use with annotation - @Primary

Vanderbilt in 2016 bowl? Five reasons to doubt
Adam Sparks
USA TODAY NETWORK – Tennessee
Vanderbilt will be left out of the bowl season for a second straight year. But could the Commodores end that drought next season?
Vanderbilt will return an experienced roster after showing progress in a 4-8 season, but it still could be an uphill climb to the postseason. Here are five reasons to doubt Vanderbilt will earn a bowl bid in 2016.
1. Offense hasn't improved. Despite the early optimism that first-year offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig pumped into the offense — averaging 412.4 yards through five games — it fizzled late. By season's end, the Commodores averaged 15.2 points, two below the previous year's disappointing mark of 17.2. If scoring output dropped from year one to year two, how likely is it that it would climb significantly in year three?
2. Momentum was lost. Vanderbilt definitely improved from 2014 to 2015, but that progress slowed or even stopped late in the season. The Commodores suffered three blowout losses of at least 25 points each in the last five games (34-0 to Houston, 25-0 to Texas A&M, 53-28 to Tennessee). Such lopsided losses bring up questions of the team's staying power in chasing bowl eligibility through an entire 12-game schedule.
3. Still looking for playmakers. Trent Sherfield had a school-record 240 receiving yards against Austin Peay, but he averaged only 38 yards in the other 11 contests. Caleb Scott had a few big plays with freshman Kyle Shurmur at quarterback, but he still averaged only two catches per game. C.J. Duncan will return from a season-long injury, but he had less than 500 yards in 2014. Each young wide receiver continues to develop and could become a difference-maker, but none is proven in that role yet.
4. Depth could be detrimental. Coaches made a point to never use injuries as an excuse in 2015, but they definitely had an effect, especially on the offense. The offensive line was shifted on a weekly basis because of injuries. Receivers took on bigger roles with Duncan sidelined. Quarterback Patton Robinette's post-spring announcement to end his career, due in part to concussions, reset some of offseason preparations under center. All those losses showed that injuries hit Vanderbilt harder than other teams with more depth.
5. Margin too small. To say Vanderbilt will get six wins next season means it likely must beat teams it lost to in 2015. The early schedule is manageable with games against South Carolina, Western Kentucky and MTSU, but the Commodores were 1-2 against those teams in 2015. If Vanderbilt posts the same results against its nine common opponents from 2015 to 2016, it would have a 3-6 record and need victories over Georgia Tech, Tennessee State and Auburn to reach bowl eligibility.

Lawmaker asks education secretary to step down


WASHINGTON.- The president of the United States vetoed a resolution Tuesday passed by Congress calling on the US to withdraw military support for Saudi Arabia in the conflict in Yemen.
It was the second time during Donald Trump's presidency that he has vetoed a congressional motion.
"This resolution is an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future," Trump said in a statement after he had vetoed the measure.
The president said the measure was unnecessary because, apart from counter-terrorism operations against al-Qaeda and against the Islamic State on the Arabian Peninsula, the US was not actively participating in hostilities in Yemen.
The president emphasized that there were no US troops "commanding, participating or accompanying" Saudi coalition forces fighting against Houthi rebels in Yemen.
It's the second time Trump has vetoed a congressional measure in his now more than two years in the White House. Last month he vetoed a motion which disapproved of his emergency declaration to erect barriers along the country's southern border.
The House of Representatives, which is controlled by the Democrats, passed the resolution on Yemen at the beginning of the month by 245 votes to 175, while the Senate did the same weeks earlier with 54 in favor and 46 against the motion.
Both the House and Senate would require two-thirds majorities to reverse Trump's veto.
The House's resolution called on Trump to end US military involvement in or "affecting" Yemen within 30 days, except for anti-terror operations against Al Qaeda.
The measure won the support of most representatives following the assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi on Oct. 2, 2018 at his country's consulate in Istanbul.
Khashoggi, who was a vocal critic of the Saudi government and monarchy and had been living in self-imposed exile in the United States, is widely assumed to have been killed by agents who were sent from the Saudi capital Riyadh, some of whom are allegedly close to the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
But Trump has defended Saudi Arabia as a major US ally in the region, rejecting calls to review his country's relationship with the oil-rich Gulf state following Khashoggi's alleged murder.
The US-backed Arab coalition, which has carried out numerous attacks on Yemen in which dozens of civilians have died, became involved in the conflict across their southern border in Mar. 2015 as the war intensified.
The United Nations said in February that the conflict, which has raged since the ouster of president Ali Abdullah Saleh during the Arab Spring uprising, has triggered the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
"An estimated 24 million people – close to 80 percent of the population – need assistance and protection in Yemen", the UN said.
