Tweak says, "E=mc2"
poeticmisery ( poeticmisery) wrote in manchester_rpg,
"I actually fell due to my own clumsiness rather than anything else." Desmond said softly, with a brutal honesty that again displayed his limitations when it came to verbally flirting. "If you don't mind the inquiry, is that something that occurs often? Men throwing themselves into bodies of water in an attempt to get your attention? If so, I have to say that I am even more surprised that you helped me. I could only imagine that such things would get tiring after the first few times that they happened." It was the voice of experience talking there. After all, he had, as a dhampir, more than his fair share of women who literally had swooned at the very sight of him walking down the streets.
"I do not put much stock in fate. Instead, I think that fate is a creation of man's desire not to take accountability for their own actions, and to try to give a face to the horrors of random chance. It is much easier to blame a diety or personification than it is to accept that there is just a certain chance that in any endeavor, things will go wrong. And though it would be easy to let fate take the blame for me tumbling headfirst into the water, the real culprit was just my lack of ability to respond to a surprising event as well as I should have..." Desmond replied quietly.
Desmond listened to Raina's story quietly, not trying to interrupt as another might have. Unlike most people these days, who listened just as long as they felt they had to in order to be able to tell their own story, Desmond truly listened to people, and tried to relate to them as much as he could. When he heard her say that the satyr wanted her in between him and his faun, a puzzled look crossed his features as his eyes went to the side for a moment, then widened slowly as a light coloring touched his cheeks as he realized.
As she went on, he found his eyes widening a little more, until the point at which when she asked him if she had given too much information, it looked almost clear from his face that she had, or that he was clearly shocked by her story to the point where he couldn't hide it. Slowly though, he shook his head a little, as he searched for a diplomatic, proper way to express what it was that he was feeling.
"No, I do not think you provided too much information. And I certainly am not a gossip. If you do not mind me asking, Raina, did all of this come as a surprise? It has been a long time since I have seen a Satyr, but I was always under the impression that they only sought out..." he needed to be careful with this one, "looser women. Did this one lead you to believe that he had a different idea in mind?"
Desmond scooted a little closer still, and lowered his voice slightly, somewhat embarassed by his next question. "And... also, if you do not mind the question. Is this sort of thing normal? To... have... relations with someone when you have only known them but a few hours? It seems, in my observance, that it is not so very... uncommon now, as it used to be...."

Chris Cox's Political Report, May 2004
POLITICAL REPORT
CHRIS COX, NRA-ILA Executive Director
Anti-gun candidates have now accepted that they must give grudging lip service to the Second Amendment. But they refuse to abandon their broad agenda of pushing incremental, creeping restrictions on our fundamental rights. They are blind to the inconsistency of their rhetoric, and they are hoping to blind you with it as well.
hen the U.S. Senate brought the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act" to the floor, the most ardent enemies of the Second Amendment came battle dressed in full camouflage.
It's generally a bit later in the political season when anti-gun candidates don their camo garb by falsely claiming to "support" the Second Amendment. This year the camo came out early.
To be sure, Senate consideration of S. 1805 forced anti-gun senators to polish up their rhetoric. But a far more comprehensive and systematic effort to deceive the unsuspecting gun-owning voters of our nation is well underway.
Voting to ban guns and gun shows puts a lawmaker firmly on the anti-gun bandwagon, by any definition.
Funded by billionaire anti-gun activist Andrew McKelvey and managed by his stable of professional spin artists at the misnamed Americans for Gun Safety (ags), this coordinated effort promises political aid and comfort to enemies of the Second Amendment.
There is some humor to be found in their earnest effort to repackage the anti-gun agenda. The whiz kids at ags have hired, of all people, a former consultant to Al Gore to help market their snake oil to today's crop of aspiring anti-gunners. But we can't afford to dismiss their ability to learn from Gore's mistakes.
They have certainly mounted all the trappings of a legitimate campaign strategy effort. Polling and focus groups were underwritten by McKelvey, then analyzed by some of the leading lights of the Democratic party campaign apparatus. But all of the brainpower assigned to repackaging the anti-gun agenda came up with one simple credo. According to the ags strategy documents, the key to protecting politicians who toe the anti-gun line is simple--lie to the voters.
With an estimated 47 million voters within the shooting and hunting community, it's easy to see why ags is desperately trying to protect the politicians who vote to destroy our rights. And it's quite possible that the meaningless rhetoric they have devised will help them do it.
"I take a back seat to no one in supporting the constitutional right to own a gun," begins one of their lines for sale. But it goes on, "I also support requiring background checks at gun shows and continuing the ban on assault weapons.
"Back seat? Front seat? I don't care where they say they're sitting, what matters is their vote. And voting to ban guns and gun shows puts a lawmaker firmly on the anti-gun bandwagon, by any definition. Pick any seat you want, but when you come up for re-election, it will be a target in our book.
Another one liner being mass marketed begins "I will bring our local gun values to Washington." They're not talking about comparison shopping--it's a classic political tactic to talk about "local values" even if a candidate has no idea what they are. "That means respecting the right to own a gun and making sure our gun laws do not leave loopholes that help criminals, terrorists or illegal aliens." Now we have a combination deal, offering the comfort of "local values" contrasted with the phony specter of radical terrorists calmly equipping themselves for jihad at the local gun and knife show.
These are ridiculous statements, devoid of meaning and irrelevant to today's debate, but that is what makes them dangerous. And indeed, those Democratic operatives crowed to their eager audience about these statements garnering 80 percent approval among gun owners.
So it should surprise no one to learn that this type of meaningless rhetoric floated freely about the Senate floor during debate, even as the very same politicians voted repeatedly to attack our rights. John Kerry returned to the Senate for the first time this year since going awol on his Senate responsibilities.
He climbed the Senate steps triumphantly, and took the podium to tell America this: "I believe American gun owners are right to act responsibly and to live by common sense, and I am proud to stand with those gun owners today . . . gun rights and gun responsibilities are mainstream American values, and that is what we should vote for in the Senate."
Kerry then proceeded to vote to ban semi-automatic firearms, to destroy gun shows, and even to ban the vast majority of centerfire rifle ammunition--including most deer hunting ammo--;on the market today! He also took every opportunity to gut the underlying industry lawsuit preemption bill.
These votes may represent "mainstream American values" to the lofty elites of Massachusetts liberalism, but we know they are dead-on attacks on the Second Amendment rights of all American citizens. Once again it will fall to us to tell America the truth.
Kerry wants the truth to be a moving target. In the aftermath of the Senate vote, Kerry quickly disavowed the bulk of his floor speech. The remarks printed in the Congressional Record and posted on Kerry's Web site included only about one-third of the remarks he actually delivered on the floor. In Congress, this is not only allowed, but has its own name, a process called "revising and extending" your remarks.
But the videotape doesn't lie. Here's what John Kerry truly believes about your NRA: "Let's be honest about what we're facing today, the opposition to this common sense gun safety law is being driven by the powerful NRA special interest leadership and by lobbyists here in Washington. I don't believe this is the voice of responsible gun owners across America . . . I believe that the NRA leadership is defending the indefensible. There is a gap between America's Field & Stream gun owners and NRA's Soldier of Fortune leaders."
Into that imagined gap, John Kerry would insert his own vision of what "rights and responsibilities" he feels we can be trusted with. Pouring eyewash over a vote to ban guns and gun shows isn't support of the Second Amendment--it's sabotage. Kerry's "support" of the Second Amendment is limited only to the rights he deems appropriate for the rest of us. But he's not ready to make that admission just yet, so he rewrote official congressional history to pretend he said no such thing.
In the end, it comes down to a cold political calculus. Anti-gun candidates have now accepted that they must give grudging lip service to the Second Amendment. But they refuse to abandon their broad agenda of pushing incremental, creeping restrictions on our fundamental rights. They are blind to the inconsistency of their rhetoric, and they are hoping to blind you with it as well.
The stakes have been raised in this election--now, we must not only win the key races, but we must also turn back the callous attempt to define our rights downward.

Verizon has completed buying a major addition to its fiber-optic network.
"The addition of these fiber assets is an important part of our strategy to reinforce our current network capabilities and prepare for the future. The completion of this acquisition will help expedite our network densification with fiber and small cells, enhancing our industry-leading 4G LTE network and laying the groundwork for 5G," said Nicola Palmer, Verizon's chief engineer and head of wireless networks.
Wireless Week writes that Verizon will also invest $50 million to finish building the Chicago network in 2018.
Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam said in September that it was not going to pursue more M&A in order to gain access to more fiber. The company had already purchased $1.6 billion worth of fiber-optic business from XO Communications. But McAdam didn't rule out WOW.

'A True Pillar Of The Community:' Legendary Realtor/Community Activist Paul Lauschke Jr. Dies
Dan Brannan
January 4 2023 4:56 PM | updated January 5 2023 9:50 AM
ALTON - Paul Lauschke Jr., a legendary Realtor/community activist, and a family man died early Wednesday morning, Jan. 4, 2023, at the age of 88.
One of his sons, David Lauschke, said late Wednesday afternoon Paul had suffered from heart issues in the last months of his life.
Paul was a father to six children and had many grandchildren. Several in the community considered him a mentor and someone they deeply trusted when it came to real estate matters and issues in the Alton area in general.
Mac Lenhardt, an owner of Mac's in Downtown Alton, purchased his building from Paul's agency in 1983. He said he had only positive things to say about him.
"Paul was a straight-shooter," Lenhardt said. "You would get a straight answer from him. He was a strong man. I looked to him for advice on the first 10 of the 15 properties I purchased in Downtown Alton. I also have worked with Rick and Dave Lauschke, his sons, a lot over the years. They are all good people."
Don Huber, previously the Alton Township Supervisor and owner of a clock business in Downtown Alton, said early in his office tenure, Paul was something of a mentor to him.
"Paul was always willing to listen and answer questions," he said. "He served as my representative to the Alton Lake Heritage Parkway Commission. He was very diligent, letting me know what was going on and very efficient. I liked Paul a lot. He treated me very well. It is a shame the community has lost such a valuable person. I don't remember Paul ever saying a bad word about anybody. He was that type of person."
Jeff Weber, a Godfrey Board of Trustees member, who was a close acquaintance of Paul Lauschke's over the years, expressed sadness over the loss and said he had lost a dear friend.
Weber said when something in the region came up that needed help for a fundraiser or chairman, Paul was always there. When Godfrey was thinking about becoming a village, Paul spent hours on assists and helping create the planning and zoning area.
Weber said Paul's work with BJC and Alton Memorial was extraordinary over the years.
"I think his twins David and Rick are very involved in the community, and I think a lot of that comes from their dad," he said. "When you think about real estate whether it was buying or selling real estate or homes for years, many would call Lauschke. If someone was moving into the area with industry, they would call him for advice. This is a big loss for the area."
Village of Godfrey Mayor Mike McCormick said Paul Lauschke's passing will leave "a big void in our community."
"Paul established a real estate company that became the premier company in the area," McCormick said. "He was also very active in the community and very active at Alton Memorial Hospital. He will be sorely missed by everyone who ever came in contact with him. He has two sons - Dave and Rick - who are following in his footsteps. Both are serving on various boards in the community. Paul Lauschke simply was a pillar of the community."
Rick Lauschke, one of his sons, said Paul was a big asset to the community and would help anybody at any time.
"He instilled that in us that you benefit from the community and at some point, you give back to the community," he said. "He believed and worked for the benefit of the whole community. He was very giving to the community and worked with a lot of charitable businesses around the Alton-Godfrey area. He was very civic-minded."
Dave Lauschke, his son, said when you look at his father, you see he had strong beliefs in giving back to the community.
"When you look at all his involvement I don't know if you will find a lot of people to be that involved in the community from Head Start, Alton Memorial, the Realtors, the United Way, and so much more. He had a very big presence in the community. If he was involved in something, he was involved 100 percent."
Dave said his father was equally strong as a father, husband, grandfather, and friend to so many in the Alton area.
"He, my mother, and my grandmother all believed in giving back to the community. They instilled that in us at a very early age. He also instilled in us to treat people like you wanted to be treated and do that regardless of how they dressed or their skin color. He taught us to judge people on simply if they were nice or not."
Paul was married to his first wife, Susie, for more than 20 years, and his present wife, Sandy for 40. Dave said Sandy also followed his dad's footsteps as far as a desire to give back.
Dave said he believes his father will be most remembered as "a big promoter of the community."
"He put the community above himself," Dave said. "He always put the community's interests first."

Faithful readers, you know how I appreciate a good staircase. Here is another one to add to the list: the gorgeous, swirling, creamy staircase at the brand new, just opened, Switch House wing of the Tate Modern. 8 years in the making, this extension gives the Tate the opportunity to showcase less traditional forms of art, as in not just things that hang on walls. Pieces that are massive or interactive or include living things like horses and parrots and people. Art that is much much further outside the proverbial box than what is now being called the Boiler House, the old power station we have known and loved. I have been looking forward to this for a long time. My children and I have studied the models across from the cloakroom, watched the earthmovers and the cranes and the ever-expanding building site and then suddenly, the skeleton of a building being filled in and filled out. The anticipation was delicious. Made all the more because by the time the doors were flung open on the dot of 4 pm, on 14 June, for those of us standing in a long queue, clutching Member's Invites, it had been raining, monsooning, for hours. The soaking I got in the morning hadn't dried by the repeat at lunchtime. Everything was wet. And my hair was beyond repair. Nothing to do but wrap myself into another world and allow the senses that respond to light and beauty and imagination and shock and all the things that make my pulse race, actually anything but the sensation of wet feet and clammy clothes. Because the Tate has always had a cocoon like quality for me, and this new space delivered beautifully.
I first visited the Tate in 1989, before its current groovy location on bankside, when I was spending a term at LSE. I still remember the sensation of seeing Matisse's Snail for the first time. As though all beauty and colour and joy had been contained in one enormous canvas, just for me. I became obsessed with it. Returned to it time and time and time again. Hung a poster of it in my university room. Even once reconstruced a small version to send as a card to a friend. I felt I had been given the keys to the most wonderful, exciting, inspiring, challenging castle….a castle I moved into and never moved out. Art, good art, so often takes on a life of its own. What starts as a particular vision by a single artist becomes, over time, part of a collective memory. Collective, but yet personal. Sometimes the official interpretation of a piece holds its meaning, but more often it morphs into something much, much different, as time and history and experience influence how we respond. This is all very very good stuff. For me, the Matisse was the start of what has become a passionate love of art. Of art that I react to, that makes me feel and think and absorbs itself into my own personality. I heard an interview with the British pop star Corinne Bailey Rae, who said that once a song is shared with the public it isn't hers anymore, because it becomes part of other people's experience and interpretation. That is the beauty of art, that reaction can be on such a personal, visceral level, regardless of the original. It is why places like the Tate are so popular. Why people can spend what seems like ages in front of a piece, just looking. And why kids love it. In 2009, Tate's Turbine Hall held Miroslaw Balk's How It Is, a enormous container whose interior falls were covered in soft black flock which, once entered, left the visitor in total darkness. The experience was supposed to give one the sense of utter despair, to remind us of terrible terrible times in history, our own emptiness etc, etc. But that is just what the write up said. It was a huge black box. And it was half-term, always a testing time for parents and children, and those trainers with flashing lights were all the rage. We visited the installation many times. And each time it was filled, FILLED with shrieking children, dashing heedlessly, happily round and round, little lights flashing, delighted that they had been released into such a crazy kind of space. Like the most awesome game of It of all time. And when they wanted to come out, they lay down and rolled down the ramp. How great is that. Exhausted parents slumped against the Hall walls, watching from a distance, relieved and grateful. Nevermind existential fear and doubt, this was the happiest place in London. The opportunity for cliche irresistible: hope out of darkness manifest. That is art.
Mark Rothko is an artist whose work is forever being reinterpreted; I won't toss my own ideas into that ring. But the Rothko Seagram Murals room has such a sense of sacred space I can actually feel my heart slow and then expand as soon as I walk in. A few times I have been fortunate enough to have it to myself. It is like being kissed passionately by someone you love, that feeling that nothing else matters, that everything is going to be fine, that peace is indeed possible. That is art.
And standing between the old and the new wings, high on the bridge, is Tree 2010 by Ai Weiwei. His triumphant show at the RA made devotees of us all. And there it stands proudly, a country in all its many parts. Factured but whole. Just like us. A metaphor for life. And living. And the reason we need art.

What are some of the top THC-free CBD oils for 2023?
Medically reviewed by Dominique Fontaine, BSN, RN, HNB-BC, HWNC-BC — By Louise Morales-Brown — Updated on Nov 23, 2022
Cannabis compounds
Who may use it?
Types and potencies
CBD effects
Medical News Today only shows you brands and products that we stand behind.
Cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are active compounds that derive from the Cannabis sativa plant. THC causes the "high" that people often associate with cannabis.
This article discusses various types of CBD oils, additional ingredients they may contain, and a range of products a person can consider when looking for THC-free CBD oils.
A quick look at 3 of the best THC-free CBD oils
Best for a lower dose of CBD: CBDistillery THC-Free Pure CBD Oil Tincture — 500 mg
Best for aiding sleep: Charlotte's Web THC Free CBD Oil — 25 mg
Best for vegans: Joy Organics Unflavored Organic CBD Tincture
When making a CBD oil, manufacturers can isolate CBD from other cannabinoids and mix it with an oil. By doing this, they can produce CBD oil that does not contain THC.
This article describes CBD oil and the effects of CBD. It also provides a list of THC-free CBD oils that a person may wish to try.
Is CBD legal? The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp from the legal definition of cannabis in the Controlled Substances Act. This made some hemp-derived CBD products with less than 0.3% THC federally legal. However, CBD products containing more than 0.3% THC still fall under the legal definition of cannabis, making them federally illegal but legal under some state laws. Individuals should check state laws, especially when traveling. People should also keep in mind that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved nonprescription CBD products, and some products may be inaccurately labeled.
CBD oil is a product that is appearing more frequently in an array of products, including:
To make CBD oil, a manufacturer takes the CBD compound from the Cannabis sativa plant. They then dilute it in a carrier oil, such as coconut oil, avocado oil, palm oil, or sunflower oil. This process creates a diluted form of CBD that companies can then add to products.
For more information and resources on CBD and CBD products, please visit our dedicated hub.
What might CBD oils contain other than CBD?
The cannabis plant contains more than 100 cannabinoids. Depending on the type of CBD oil that a person purchases, it may contain CBD and other cannabinoids or cannabis plant compounds. These may include:
THC is the chemical that people often associate with the psychological effects, or high, of cannabis. Although some CBD oils may contain up to 0.3% THC, this small amount is unlikely to affect a person. There are also many CBD products available that have no trace of THC.
Learn more about CBD and THC here.
Cannabichromene (CBC)
CBC is one of the most common cannabinoids in the Cannabis sativa plant. As with CBD, it does not cause a feeling of being high.
Terpenes are aromatic oils that provide the Cannabis sativa plant with its smell and taste. These compounds are abundant in the cannabis plant, but they are also present in many other plants, including fruits and herbs.
Cannabigerol (CBG)
CBG is another one of the more common cannabinoids in the Cannabis sativa plant. All cannabinoids start as CBG and later synthesize into different types of cannabinoids.
Cannabinol (CBN)
CBN is a similar cannabinoid to CBD. However, CBN forms due to an oxidization process in the plant, in which exposure to heat and light turns THC into CBN. Like CBD, CBN is unlikely to make a person feel "high."
Learn more about CBD and CBN here.
Pros and cons of THC-free CBD oils
Before purchasing THC-free CBD oils, a person may wish to consider the advantages and disadvantages.
Some advantages of THC-free CBD oils include:
No high: THC is the compound in cannabis that produces euphoria, or a high. Even though THC levels in CBD are often 0.3% or less, some users still report feeling high. THC-free products should eliminate such reactions.
Drug testing: CBD isolates are less likely to contain traces of THC that may show up on a drug test.
Process of elimination: While using THC-free CBD products, a person can determine whether the CBD alone is suitable for their needs, as they do not contain any other active ingredients.
However, some disadvantages of these products include:
No entourage effect: THC and CBD are just two of the many compounds found in cannabis. The term "entourage effect" describes the way interactions between these compounds enhance the health benefits of CBD. THC-free CBD oils are made from CBD isolates, which means they cannot provide users with the potential benefits of other compounds.
Lack of scientific evidence: Proponents of CBD claim that it can treat many health conditions. However, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), more scientific research needs to verify these claims.
Who may use THC-free CBD?
THC-free CBD may be more suitable than other forms of CBD for certain people.
THC-free CBD is more unlikely to show up on drug tests, as it does not contain any THC. THC is the compound in CBD that causes euphoria and shows up on most drug tests.
Additionally, THC-free CBD products often have a lower amount of CBD per dose than products with broad or full-spectrum CBD. A lower dose may be more beneficial for people who are just starting to use CBD products, as they can begin with smaller amounts of CBD and increase as necessary.
However, a person should discuss taking any CBD products with a healthcare professional. A doctor can advise people if the product is likely to interact with any medication and inform them about any potential risks.
There are three different types of CBD oils, and the key distinction between them is that they contain different amounts of cannabinoids. The types are:
Broad-spectrum: This type of CBD oil will typically contain all the cannabinoids in the plant except THC. However, some products may have trace quantities of THC.
Full-spectrum: This term means that the oil contains all the cannabinoids and terpenes that occur naturally in the cannabis plant, including trace amounts of THC.
CBD isolate: Of the three oils, isolated CBD is the purest. Products that contain isolated CBD contain no other cannabinoids.
Learn about CBD dosages here.
The body of research specifically exploring CBD oil is still small. However, scientific research on the effects of CBD can suggest what potential benefits the oil might offer.
Research looking at CBD has found that it might have the following benefits:
Anti-inflammatory: Research in rats highlights that CBD can reduce inflammation associated with arthritis.
Reducing anxiety: CBD may help decrease symptoms of anxiety.
Sleeping: A 2017 review concludes that medium and high doses of CBD can have a sedating effect, potentially helping people who experience difficulty falling asleep.
Reducing acne: CBD may suppress the growth of sebocytes — cells that secrete sebum, which can contribute to the development of pimples.
Pain: Older research suggests that cannabinoids have an analgesic potential, meaning that they may be useful in treating pain.
Learn more about the benefits of CBD oil here.
Even though scientific research exploring the effects of CBD in humans is increasing, much more is still necessary, as undiscovered short-term and long-term side effects may exist.
In rare cases, CBD oil may cause an allergic reaction. If a person starts using CBD oil and experiences the following symptoms, they should discontinue their use of the product and seek emergency medical attention:
swelling of the throat, lips, or mouth
itching in the mouth
difficulty swallowing or breathing

How to choose THC-free CBD oils
To find a THC-free CBD oil that meets their needs, people should consider their CBD tolerance. People who are just starting to use CBD might prefer a product with a lower dosage.
People should only purchase CBD products with a COA from an independent third party. A COA determines that the ingredients in the product are what the manufacturer claims and checks that there are no impurities.
Below are some common questions about THC-free CBD oils.
Can full spectrum CBD be THC-free?
Full-spectrum CBD contains all the plant compounds found in the cannabis plant, including THC.
Broad-spectrum CBD contains most plant compounds except THC. However, broad-spectrum CBD products may contain trace amounts of this compound.
People should carefully read COAs and the ingredients list of any products that claim to be full-spectrum and THC-free. It is unlikely that full-spectrum CBD products do not contain any THC.
Can THC-free CBD help relieve anxiety symptoms?
There is little scientific evidence on whether THC-free CBD can help relieve anxiety symptoms.
A 2020 review of studies suggests that CBD may be a promising therapy to manage anxiety disorders. However, the authors note the need for more studies in this area.
How much CBD should I take?
There is no scientifically recognized dosage of CBD that is effective for everyone.
People should start at the lowest possible dose their chosen product offers. If necessary, a person can then gradually increase the amount of CBD.
CBD oil may offer a range of benefits, including improving sleep, reducing acne, and relieving pain. For personal reasons, a person may not wish to use a CBD oil that contains THC.
CBD oil manufacturers can isolate CBD from THC to create a THC-free product. They may also choose to isolate CBD from the other cannabinoids in the cannabis plant to produce a product containing only CBD.

After meeting on Monday with the ACLU of Puerto Rico, the Puerto Rico Department of Justice has agreed to investigate the brutal murder of Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado as a hate crime. The Department of Justice has also agreed to work with the ACLU to train Judges and prosecutors on hate crimes prosecutions. Although the commonwealth has had sentencing guidelines since 2002 that give prosecutors and judges the ability to seek more severe punishment for hate crimes, prosecutors have never investigated a crime as a hate crime. After Mercado's murder, local police officials showed a tremendous lack of sensitivity to the crime. Investigator Angel Rodriguez was quoted in local media reports as saying, "When these type of people get into this and go out into the streets like this, they know this can happen to them."
Twenty-six-year-old Juan Martinez Matos was arrested and allegedly confessed to killing and mutilating Lopez. It appears he is laying what appears to be a "gay-panic" defense, saying he believed the victim was a female prostitute. Martinez claims Lopez tried to stab him and he defended himself with a kitchen knife. Matos has been charged with first-degree murder and jailed on $4 million bond.
Via Boy in Bushwick: Nuevo Dia reported William Ramírez, executive director of the ACLU and the University of Puerto Rico's Legal Clinic, told the Department of Justice that the Commonwealth has a history of "not investigating hate crimes cases" such as the Lopez case. Says Ramirez: "The ACLU has tried to get the government to accept its responsibility to investigate cases...that are hate crimes, particularly that of young Jorge Steven López Mercado. We should not be satisfied with the possibility the federal government will do what our government is not interested in doing; which is to protect every citizen."
The Jorge Steven López Mercado murder will apparently be the first anti-gay hate crime prosecuted in Puerto Rico.

IBM falls in love with Opteron all over again
More servers this time

Like a big blue knight, IBM has come to AMD's rescue once again. The company today revealed plans to ship five new Opteron-based servers. This odd shift in strategy comes just as Intel has released Xeon server chips that best Opteron on many fronts.
In April of 2003, IBM was the lone Tier 1 server vendor brave enough to back AMD's then fledgling Opteron chip. IBM's Opteron support provided AMD with invaluable street cred during a challenging period for the chipmaker.
After a couple of months, however, IBM's support looked more and more like a publicity stunt. IBM had released a single system aimed at the high performance computing market. Meanwhile, Sun Microsystems and HP had started work on broad Opteron-based server lines. And, in fact, it has been the likes of HP, Sun and Rackable Systems that have benefitted most from Opteron's market share surge over the past three years.
IBM proved reluctant to embrace Opteron in a major way due to its investment in the X3 chipset for its Xeon-based systems. Executives often said that IBM's X3 made up for Xeon's technical flaws and put the chip on even ground with Opteron. Behind the scenes, rumors swirled that Intel had convinced IBM to drop its development of Opteron-based blades and a four-socket box in exchange for some large co-marketing arrangements.
Well, the X3 infatuation has ended with IBM's release of the x3455, x3655, x3755, LS21 and LS41 servers. All of the new systems are centered around AMD's upcoming Rev F versions of Opteron.
In a bizarre bit of marketing choreography, IBM refused to utter the names of the new systems during its press conference today in New York held to launch the boxes. Only the marketing mavens at IBM could come up with a justification for not actually naming the products they were announcing at a press conference.
Anyway, the names of the servers did spill to the press via a statement from IBM. Phew.
The x3455 builds on IBM's high performance computing roots with Opteron. It's more or less just a Rev F refresh of IBM's existing two-socket Opteron box. The x3655 is a two-socket system with more add-ons available and is aimed at the general purpose crowd. On the high-end is the four-socket x3755 system that IBM again angles toward the HPC market.
The HPC pitch for the x3755 seems to be IBM's way of edging around its X3 chipset investment. Customers can, of course, buy the x3755 to do whatever they want, and plenty of HP, Sun and Dell business customers will be purchasing four-socket Opteron systems.
The LS21 is a refreshed version of IBM's LS20 blade, while the LS41 is a new twist on Opteron blades for IBM. The server starts out as a two-socket system aimed at business customers but can reach up to four-sockets with an add-on module.
All of the servers should start shipping in the third quarter, as Rev F chips arrive. IBM declined to release pricing or detailed specifications of the servers at this time.

World Baseball Softball Confederation formed for 2020 Olympic bid
December 17 - The International Baseball Federation (IBAF) and International Softball Federation (ISF) have revealed the new unified world body that will govern both sports together ahead of their joint 2020 Olympic Games bid – the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC).
Plans for the new unified world governing body to help the two sports regain their places on the Olympic programme in time for the 2020 Games were rubber stamped last week and the WBSC will exclusively represent the interests of baseball and softball before the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
The WBSC board will consist of eight delegates, made up of IBAF President Riccardo Fraccari, ISF President Don Porter and six other representatives, three of whom will be appointed by the IBAF and three by the ISF to ensure equal representation from both sports.
Fraccari and Porter will serve as the co-Presidents of the WBSC.
"Our swift agreement on this issue is a good indicator of our ability to work together as a team and of keeping the focus on our primary objectives of further developing baseball and softball and of obtaining results that will help us earn a place on the Olympic Programme," said Fraccari.
Porter was equally happy.
"In addition to the increased visibility, our sports under one banner will provide the footing for clear and consistent messaging," he said.
Baseball, like softball, last appeared at the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008
The joint bid comes after both softball and baseball were dropped from the Olympic programme ahead of London 2012 and they face several challenges in returning to the Games.
Softball needs to tackle the problem of being a female-only sport with the IOC looking for more gender equality in the Olympics, while baseball must release its top Major League Baseball (MLB) players for the Games, which it was criticised for not doing last time.
The joint baseball and softball bid up is up against climbing, karate, roller sport, squash, wakeboard and wushu for a spot at the 2020 Olympics.
This week marks the most crucial period yet for the seven bids as they are all set to present to the IOC Programme Commission on Wednesday (December 19) at the Palace Hotel in Lausanne.
The IOC will finally decide on which sport or sports to include on the 2020 Olympic programme at its Session in Buenos Aires in September 2013.
December 2012: Baseball formally approves international merger with softball
October 2012: Softball delegates back merger with baseball to boost Olympic bid
October 2012: Exclusive - Joint baseball and softball bid for 2020 Olympics gets green light
August 2012: Baseball and softball set to merge in hope to win bid for inclusion in 2020 Olympics
July 2012: Exclusive - Softball promise not to rush into Olympic alliance with baseball


AREP, in partnership with the British engineering practice Expedition Engineering Ltd., has been appointed to the Architecture Design and Urbanism Panel, set up by the Mayor of London and Transport for London to advise London's public sector on how to deliver the best quality building and design work.
AREP has been appointed to the "Public realm and landscape" lot after successfully fulfilling a design challenge task. Over the next three years, AREP and Expedition will have the possibility to respond to the TfL invitations to tender for this lot, thus taking part in the transformation of London's public realm to adapt it to the shifting habits and aspirations of its citizens.
The idea in a nutshell ? To create welcoming public spaces that encourage sharing and living together; places of city life that make way for nature to help soften the urban landscape. AREP revisits the public realm by fusing a beautiful duality between the softer modes of transport and the mixity of uses and functions in order to offer city-dwellers a healthy environment.


A new fabric makes all the difference.
The best part about spring style is ditching all of your heavy winter gear for lighter (and much more fun) warm-weather stuff. Specifically, shoes. There's nothing better than looking right past a pair of snow boots and opting for a clean sneaker for a (finally) nice day. This spring, consider adding a knit sneaker into rotation. The switch is a relatively small one, but it makes a big difference. It makes the shoe feel more comfortable on your foot, and it adds a laid-back element to an already low-key shoe. Here are 13 pairs to choose from.
Long live a low-top white sneaker. A knitted upper is a cool alternative to leather or canvas.
The easy shape and comfortable sole make them perfect for walking.
Knitted works for workout sneakers, too—maybe even especially, since the upper helps keep your sweaty feet aired out.
Nike's Epic React is the best blend of futuristic functionality and lightweight fabric.
This tonal Asics trainer is certainly a look. The speckled gray, white, and black is an easy way to do it, though.
Stan Smiths look even fresher in a white knit.
Level up a VaporMax with a multicolored Flyknit.
Thank '90s nostalgia for making the soccer sneaker stylish again. And thank modern innovation for making this pair so comfortable.
Vince's shoes are super light; wear them while traveling.
Filling Pieces' knit low-top runner is great for a casual date.
APL loves a good athleisure shoe. This pair goes in on the "leisure" part of things with a cashmere blend upper. Basically, it's a glorified slipper—except you can actually run in it.
These Fendi sneakers take the whole knitted vibe up a level with an actual sock cuff. We dig it.
Knitted shoes are inherently more casual, but this Prada pair still feels luxe.

GE Crop Risk Assessment Challenges: An Overview
By Dr. Charles Benbrook on May 6, 2013
There have been dramatic changes in the transgenic composition of GE corn and soybeans over the last five years, coupled with a substantial increase in reliance on pesticides and Bt toxins. Compared to the first five years of commercial use (1996-2000), today's GE corn and soybeans in the U.S. require:
About twice as much herbicide per acre, with glyphosate/Roundup accounting for essentially all the growth;
In corn, two to six Bt toxins to deal with European corn borer and the corn rootworm complex;
Delayed release, systemic seed treatments including at least two insecticides and two fungicides, one of which is a nicotinyl implicated in honey bee Colony Collapse Disorder;
A return to corn soil insecticide use as a component of Bt-gene, resistance-management programs (eroding a portion of the reduction in insecticide use brought about by Bt corn);
Significant and historically unprecedented increases in fungicide use on corn (11 percent of crop acres were treated in latest USDA pesticide use survey [2010], no more than 1 percent was treated previously); and
Approval and commercial planting in the U.S. of the first GE crop that will be consumed in significant quantities by humans in a largely unprocessed form – Bt and RR sweetcorn.
The move to stacked varieties expressing multiple traits, coupled with the above changes in the intensity of chemical use required to bring GE crops to harvest, raises new questions about new routes of exposure and about cumulative levels of exposure to GE proteins, potential allergens and pesticides, especially via drinking water, certain foods made from corn or soybeans, and, for infants, breast milk, cow's milk, soymilk, and formula. It also raises new testing challenges arising from the likely presence of multiple transgenes, DNA fragments, promoters, regulatory sequences and chemicals from pesticides (active ingredients, metabolites, surfactants, adjuvants, etc). These changes pose serious risk assessment challenges that are, for the most part, being ignored by the industry and regulatory authorities. New information is essential to convince regulators that they must invest substantially more public resources in the independent testing of GE crop safety. The two core goals for a new testing initiative should be to (a) resolve lingering uncertainty over the safety of the GE traits currently on the market, and (b) develop advanced testing methods and protocols for application in the testing of future GE food traits. At a minimum, the following steps should be taken to explore key questions about today's GE crops:
1. Quantification of the levels of pesticides and their metabolites/breakdown products associated with GE crops in key foods and human fluids (blood and urine), encompassing initially glyphosate, AMPA, nicotinyl seed treatments and Bt proteins. Top priority foods to test include whole wheat grain and flour, whole wheat bread, and soy-derived ingredients and foods. Essential liquids to test include cow's milk, breast milk, soymilk and infant formula.
2. Development of methods to accurately quantify GE protein exposure levels in tissues and organs of concern in evaluating human health risks. The research would also be designed to track the breakdown products formed as GE proteins move through the digestive system. Methods would be developed to identify the form of novel proteins or other phytochemicals from GE foods, as well as the quantities passing from the GI tract into the bloodstream, from the blood to the kidneys and liver, and in the case of pregnant women, across the blood-brain barrier.
3. Methods must be developed to assess the impacts on fetal development following pre-natal exposure to GE proteins via maternal blood flows. Focus should be on epigenetic patterns of gene expression and the frequency of auto-immune diseases including food allergies, asthma and behavioral problems.
4. In light of novel combinations of exposures, including combinations of glyphosate, AMPA, a nicotinyl insecticide and Bt proteins, short-term cell assays should be used to test for toxic potential of each of these singly and in various combinations. The results can be used to target subsequent, long-term testing.
5. An appropriate, government agency or international organization should fund long-term toxicology and cancer feeding studies in at least two species of laboratory animals on a cross-section of the major traits now in GE varieties. Trials should cover the most widely planted Bt endotoxins alone, the EPSPS gene conferring resistance to glyphosate alone and these two traits in combination. At the conclusion of a first round of testing, the research team should issue recommendations for the design and conduct of future cancer feeding trials applied to GE food traits and render judgments regarding the need for additional testing.

Lantern Walk June 2016 - Friends of Fellsmere Heights (FoFH), Inc.
Saturday evening, June 4, a Lantern Walk around Fellsmere Pond will remember and celebrate the extraordinary Malden Hospital legacy of great community benefit to the people of Medford and Malden for over 100 years.
The Lantern Walk will also mark the start of a campaign by people of both communities to give new expression to that legacy through the use, if possible, of a portion of the 18-acre site and perhaps the hospital building itself for a wide range of much needed community services.
Activities at the pond will appeal to all ages -- lantern making, hot dogs, face painting, sparklers, a youth adult scavenger hunt, a 3 legged race and a short program of speakers including: a former Malden Hospital administrator, a spokesperson from Friends of Fellsmere Heights (FoFH), and a spokesperson for YODA (Young Optimistic Daring Activists).
Walk participants can buy a lantern with a suggested donation on the evening of the walk.
Anyone wishing to attend the walk, attend a lantern workshop, or have a lantern made for you, or to receive weather related updates about the walk (e.g. if necessary, walk will move to Sunday June 5) is asked to RSVP at rwdoolittle@gmail.com or call 617-876-7442.
The Lantern Walk Activities will begin at 6:00, speakers at 8:00, and the walk itself at 8:20. This celebration is jointly sponsored YODA and FoFH.

We have school pictures this week. It is so precious to see the kiddos get dressed up. The clip on ties are just my favorites. Of course, my class will be running laps outside for gym and then going to get pictures taken. This should be cute as it can be. They just make me smile!!
We read our book from Geraldine the Giraffe. I was way more excited than they were. However, you could hear a pin drop when I read Miss Nelson is missing. Of course, I have to change all the names in the book to make it personal. They love finding out the secret in the end. I love reading stories with different voices. Such fun.
I picked shells at the beach last weekend while on vacation. There was enough for all to take a few. We live right next to the beach, but the shells are different from the bay vs. ocean. I am so thankful I went the week before the hurricane.
I really like the kiddos this year. There are a lot of them, but we are getting to know each other more and they are really trying to be independent learners. They are learning many things and really trying to do the right thing.
- LM-M on SNL this weekend- I am so excited to see it and watch again and again, please have something related to founding fathers or Hamilton!!
-what is going on with all these random clowns??


This workshop will focus on yoga techniques specifically for runners, but is suitable for all athletes.
Yoga is the perfect complement to sport; cross training your body to build strength and flexibility, helping to avoid injury and improve recovery from races and long runs.
The morning will start with a yoga sequence designed specifically as a pre-run sequence for runners. Moving into a dynamic flow, poses will address imbalances and niggles commonly experienced by runners. (Lower back pain, knee problems, tight IT bands, hip pain, muscles imbalances etc). Throughout the workshop we will focus on breath control, helping with concentration and maximising chest capacity.
The aim of the day is to provide you with tools to take away to improve your running style, endurance and enjoyment.
Jo is a tri-athlete and a very experienced yoga teacher who loves to teach the benefits of combining both.

PR Mishaps That Rocked The Royal Family
Amazing Movie Roles That Almost Went To Other Actors
By Katherine G	In	Celebrities on April 1, 2019
7 Movies That Broke Up Marriages
10 Best Surprising Dance Scenes In Non-Dance Movies

Picking the perfect cast is one of the most difficult and most important things when it comes to making a movie. It can sometimes take years to find the right actor or actress because lead cast members can seriously affect how the film is received by viewers and critics, so it has to feel right. When there's a special role on the table it's not uncommon for several actors to go up against one another, and with so many movies being made each year, it's also not uncommon for an actor to pass on a role due to scheduling conflicts! We've compiled a list of 17 iconic roles that could have gone to other actors. Check it out:
17. Matthew McConaughey in Titanic
In a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Kate Winslet revealed that when she originally auditioned for the role of Rose in Titanic, she was reading with Matthew McConaughey, not Leonardo DiCaprio! "I auditioned with Matthew, isn't that weird? I never said that in public before!" she joked. The story goes that Paramount actually wanted McConaughey for the role, but it was James Cameron who insisted on going with Leo.

16. Charlize Theron in Chicago
Chicago goes down in history as one of the greatest movie musical adaptations ever! While the cast that made the final cut was amazing, including Renee Zellweger, it's sad to hear that Charlize Theron could have also played the part of Roxie Hart! "The director kicked me off it. I was really bummed about it. And I think because I had it, I was like, 'Ah…I'm gonna make this movie' and I got kicked off it," said Theron while on Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show.

15. Julia Roberts in Sleepless in Seattle
Julia Roberts has no shortage of iconic roles on her resume, but she could've had one more! In an interview with InStyle magazine back in 2014, she revealed she was originally offered the leading role in Sleepless in Seattle. "I'd been offered Sleepless in Seattle, but couldn't do it. [Meg Ryan] and Tom Hanks are just such a jewel of a fit in that. I guess what they did for that moment in time is sort of what Richard [Gere] and I were doing across town (in the 1990 film Pretty Woman), you know?" she said.
14. Gwyneth Paltrow in Titanic
This actress has passed on some pretty epic films like Boogie Nights, but her biggest of all must have been James Cameron's 1997 Titanic. "My mother [Blythe Danner] will kill me that I'm talking about turning down movie roles. She says it's not ladylike," she said to Howard Stern while on his SiriusXM show. When Stern tried to get more of an answer out of Paltrow by saying it must have killed her to see how successful it became, to which she replied: "Then you do other stuff. I know that the story is that I turned it down. I think I was really in contention for it — I was one of the last two. I look back at the choices I've made and think, 'Why the hell did I say yes to that? And no to that?' And you know, you look at the big picture and think: There's a universal lesson here. What good is it to hold onto roles?"

13. Johnny Depp in Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Johnny Depp and Matthew Broderick are two very different actors, so it's hard to imagine how Ferris Bueller's Day Off would have looked if Depp took on the leading role. The teen comedy has become a cult classic, so it's surprising to think that the Pirates of the Caribbean actor turned it down, but he did! In an interview on Inside the Actors Studio, Depp said he was offered the part, but had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts.

12. Miles Teller in La La Land
La La Land was the biggest film of 2016, so it was surprising to hear Miles Teller supposedly passed on the Oscar-winning film during its early stages. While talking to Esquire in Sept. 2015, he said he was abruptly dropped from the project and told he wasn't "creatively right" for the part. It was later reported by Page Six that Teller turned down the part because he wasn't offered enough money, which he later denied in an interview with Vulture. "I'll go to my grave knowing that when push came to shove I expressed extreme loyalty to Damien and that movie. That's sorta all I can say." When Damien was asked about Teller's comments, he said the casting of this film took six years and went through many permutations. He confirmed Teller was once attached to it but that it didn't end up "lasting or working out."

11. Sandra Bullock in Million Dollar Baby
The role of Margaret "Maggie" Fitzgerald was an Oscar-winning role for Hilary Swank, but the project it was originally spearheaded by Sandra Bullock! Both actresses are phenomenal and it all worked out in the end, but afterward, Bullock had to fight reports that she'd snubbed the role. The truth was that she had scheduling conflicts for Miss Congeniality 2. "We had Million Dollar Baby with someone else for a while, trying to get it made. I couldn't get it made. We tried and tried and tried. (They were like) Female boxing movies don't sell. I was like, 'This is the most incredible piece.' I then started doing Miss Congeniality 2 and they got [Hilary Swank] and, they got Clint," she said. Thankfully, Bullock isn't bitter. "When things like that happen, that's the way they're supposed to happen."

10. Sandra Bullock in The Matrix
Sandra Bullock was approached to play Neo in The Matrix after Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith pulled out. Producers were ready to make Neo a girl for Bullock, but ultimately, the Oscar-winning actress pulled out. Years later, Bullock admitted that she wished she had taken the role. "At the time, it wasn't cast with Keanu, and I didn't see myself with the person they wanted," she said. "Later I saw the movie and loved it. It was sexy and great because of Carrie-Anne (Moss) and Keanu."

9. Katie Holmes and Kate Hudson in 10 Things I Hate About You
Katie Holmes and Kate Hudson both auditioned to play Kate Stratford in 10 Things I Hate About You and both of them were strongly considered for the part. Casting director Marcia Ross told The New York Times, "I loved Katie Holmes. She was about to get Dawson's Creek, and we had to make a decision really fast. The other person I loved was Kate Hudson. But her mom [Goldie Hawn] didn't like the script for her, so she passed."
8. Kate Winslet in Shakespeare in Love
We're not sure what Gwyneth Paltrow's career would have looked like had she not played the role of Viola in Shakespeare in Love. It earned her worldwide recognition and both an Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Actress. Things could have looked much different for her because just as the role of Rose in Titanic was offered to her, Kate Winslet was offered the role of Viola de Lesseps! She reportedly turned it down because she wanted to focus on making independent movies.

7. John Travolta in Forrest Gump
Tom Hanks' leading role in Forrest Gump was career-changing. Not only has the movie lived on as one of the most iconic films, but his performance earned him an Academy Award and a Golden Globe award. This makes it hard to believe anyone would ever turn down the opportunity to play Forrest Gump, but John Travolta, Chevy Chase, and Bill Murray all said 'no' before it was finally offered to Tom Hanks. Travolta has been especially vocal about his regret. He ended up going for a totally different part in Pulp Fiction which was an equally amazing film.

6. Molly Ringwald in Pretty Woman
Back in the '80s, Molly Ringwald was the 'it' girl after doing several iconic films like The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Pretty in Pink, so it's not surprising that she was also up for the lead role in Pretty Woman (which at the time was called $3,000). In a Ask Me Anything forum on Reddit (she posted this photo as proof of her identity), the actress said she has no regrets about not getting the part. She wrote, "I think I saw an early draft and it was called '$3,000.' I don't specifically remember turning it down. The script was okay but I gotta say, Julia Roberts is what makes that movie. It was her part. Every actor hopes for a part that lets them shine like that."

5. Leonardo DiCaprio in Hocus Pocus
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Hocus Pocus director Kenny Ortega revealed that Leonardo DiCaprio auditioned for the film. "He's just the most sincere and most centered and a wild child at the same time. He was feeling awkward. He was like, 'I just feel really bad being here because I'm up for two other movies and I really want them both and I don't want to lead you on.' I was like, 'That's okay, I was already warned. What are the movies?' One of them was This Boy's Life and the other one was What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Obviously, he left and incredible things happened for that young man and to this day, but meeting him awakened me to the kind of spirit and fun and sincerity that I was looking for in an actor and when Omri Katz came around, I fell in love again and he was our Max."

4. Lindsay Lohan – The Hangover
This role isn't necessarily iconic per say, but the movie went on to be a huge hit and could have really helped Lindsay's depleting career. The character Jade in The Hangover was originally offered to Lohan, but she turned it down. Not because she didn't like the script, but because it wasn't really age-appropriate for her. She was only 20-years-old at the time. "Honestly, it felt like she ended up being too young for what we were talking about," said director Todd Phillips. "People love to attack her for everything, like: 'Ha, she didn't see how great The Hangover was going to be. She turned it down.' She didn't turn it down. She loved the script, actually. It really was an age thing." The role eventually went to Heather Graham who was able to do it justice!

3. Emma Watson in La La Land
Could you imagine Emma Watson as the leading lady in La La Land? During the early stages of production, she was attached to the project! "The casting of this movie during the six years it took to get made went through lots of permutations, and it's true there was a moment where Emma Watson and Miles Teller were doing it," said director Damien Chazelle in an interview with Uproxx. Of course, the part ended up going to Emma Stone instead of Watson, who was critically praised for her performance while Watson, on the other hand, was free to star in Disney's live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, so it's a win-win!

2. Anne Hathaway in Silver Linings Playbook
Silver Linings Playbook is one of Jennifer Lawrence's biggest credits, and her performance earned her an Oscar award for Best Actress! What many people don't know is that Harvey Weinstein's first choice for Tiffany was Anne Hathaway. She turned down the role because of creative differences with director David O. Russell, but it's all good because similar to Lawrence, she won an Oscar award for her performance in Les Miserables.

1. Christina Applegate in Legally Blonde
Legally Blonde is no doubt one of Reese Witherspoon's most iconic roles, and it almost didn't go to her! Christina Applegate revealed to E.T. Online that she was sent the script with the thought that she'd play Elle Woods, but she was scared it was too similar to her role on Married…with Children, so she passed. "I got scared of repeating myself. What a stupid move that was, right?" she joked. But similar to many of the other actors on this list, she chooses not to regret her decision. "Reese deserved that. She did a much better job than I ever could, and so that's her life. That's her path."
