Ancient genome reveals its secrets
The analyses of an international team of researchers led by Svante Pääbo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, show that the genetic variation of Denisovans was extremely low, suggesting that although they were present in large parts of Asia, their population was never large for long periods of time. In addition, a comprehensive list documents the genetic changes that set apart modern humans from their archaic relatives. Some of these changes concern genes that are associated with brain function or nervous system development.

Study Links Math Abilities to Left-Right Brain Communication
Proficiency in Calculation Requires Efficient Neural Signals Between Separate Cortex Areas
A new study by researchers at UT Dallas' Center for Vital Longevity, Duke University, and the University of Michigan has found that the strength of communication between the left and right hemispheres of the brain predicts performance on basic arithmetic problems. The findings shed light on the neural basis of human math abilities and suggest a possible route to aiding those who suffer from dyscalculia— an inability to understand and manipulate numbers.
Unexpected Finding Shows Climate Change Complexities in Soil
In a surprising finding, North Carolina State University researchers have shown that certain underground organisms thought to promote chemical interactions that make the soil a carbon sink actually play a more complex, dual role when atmospheric carbon levels rise.
In a paper published in the Aug. 31 edition of Science, North Carolina State University researchers show that important and common soil microscopic organisms, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), play a role in sequestering carbon below ground, trapping it from escaping into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas.
Plants' fungi allies may not help store climate change's extra carbon
Fungi found in plants may not be the answer to mitigating climate change by storing additional carbon in soils as some previously thought, according to an international team of plant biologists.
The researchers found that increased carbon dioxide stimulates the growth of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) -- a type of fungus that is often found in the roots of most land plants -- which then leads to higher decomposition rates of organic materials, said Lei Cheng, post doctorate fellow in plant science, Penn State. This decomposition releases more carbon dioxide back into the air, which means that terrestrial ecosystems may have limited capacity to halt climate change by cleaning up excessive greenhouse gases, according to the researchers.
Photonic Interactions at the Atomic Level
By measuring the unique properties of light on the scale of a single atom, researchers from Duke University and Imperial College, London, believe that they have characterized the limits of the ability of metals to be used in devices that rely on the enhancement of light.
This field is known as plasmonics because scientists are trying to take advantage of plasmons, electrons that have been "excited" by light in a phenomenon that produces electromagnetic field enhancement. The enhancement achieved by means of metals at the nanoscale is significantly higher than that achievable with any other material.
Information Overload? Overwhelmed by instant access to news and information? Most Americans like it
Overwhelmed by instant access to news and information? Most Americans like it
"Information overload" may be an exaggerated way to describe today's always-on media environment. Actually, very few Americans seem to feel bogged down or overwhelmed by the volume of news and information at their fingertips and on their screens, according to a new Northwestern University study.
The study was published in the journal The Information Society.
"Little research has focused on information overload and media consumption, yet it's a concept used in public discussions to describe today's 24/7 media environment," said Eszter Hargittai, an associate professor of communication studies at Northwestern and lead author of the study.
'Nanoresonators' might improve cell phone performance
Researchers have learned how to mass produce tiny mechanical devices that could help cell phone users avoid the nuisance of dropped calls and slow downloads. The devices are designed to ease congestion over the airwaves to improve the performance of cell phones and other portable devices.
Chinese Credit Card Usage Growing Quickly, MU Study Finds
In the past two decades, the Chinese economy has undergone many drastic reforms in an effort to compete more effectively on the international market. These reforms included allowing foreign banks to offer credit cards to Chinese citizens. Now, researchers at the University of Missouri have found about 30 percent of Chinese urban households now own at least one credit card and the growth rate of credit card adoption has been an average of 40 percent per year between 2004 and 2009.

Study finds gene that predicts happiness in women
New finding may help explain the gender difference in happiness
A new study has found a gene that appears to make women happy, but it doesn't work for men. The finding may help explain why women are often happier than men, the research team said.
Scientists at the University of South Florida (USF), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute reported that the low-expression form of the gene monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) is associated with higher self-reported happiness in women. No such association was found in men.
The findings appear online in the journal Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry.
Pretend Play May Not Be as Crucial to Child Development as Believed, New Study Shows
Pretend play can be fun for preschool children, but a new University of Virginia study, published in the current online edition of the journal Psychological Bulletin, finds that it is not as crucial to a child's development as currently believed. Pretend play is any play a child engages in, alone, with playmates, or with adults, that involves uses of the imagination to create a fantasy world or situation, such as making toy cars go "vrrooooom" or making dolls talk.
Based on a number of key studies over four decades, pretend play is widely considered by psychologists – and teachers and parents – to be a vital contributor to the healthy development of children's intellect.
Beliefs Drive Investors More than Preferences, Study Finds
If experts thought they knew anything about individual investors, it was this: their emotions lead them to sell winning stocks too soon and hold on to losers too long.
But new research casts doubt on this widely held theory that individual investors' decisions are driven mainly by their feelings toward losses and gains. In an innovative study, researchers found evidence that individual investors' decisions are primarily motivated by their beliefs about a stock's future.
Magnetic Vortex Reveals Key to Spintronic Speed Limit
Scientists measured a key effect of electron spin essential to engineering the next generation of high-performing digital devices
The evolution of digital electronics is a story of miniaturization – each generation of circuitry requires less space and energy to perform the same tasks. But even as high-speed processors move into handheld smart phones, current data storage technology has a functional limit: magnetically stored digital information becomes unstable when too tightly packed. The answer to maintaining the breath-taking pace of our ongoing computer revolution may be the denser, faster, and smarter technology of spintronics.
New Japanese solar development consortium plans 250 plants
Japan Mega Solar Co, a company created by Japanese home renovator West Holdings, plan to invest 100 billion yen (USD1.27-billion) in developing 250 small-scale solar plants with a combined capacity of 500-MW. The projects are to be developed over five years.
West Holdings is not the only major Japanese company moving into large-scale photovoltaic development, Noriaki Yamashita, a senior researcher at the Institute for Sustainable Energy Policies told PV magazine. He reported that in July more than 40 big companies announced plans to do so, representing "a very big tide for the renewable energy industry."
The next major patent skirmish is already here
So-called LTE networks promise to dramatically speed up the mobile Internet. Too bad patent squabbles may muck things up.
FORTUNE -- As dramatically shown in Apple and Samsung's epic legal conflict, patents have become the new currency among tech giants. Dull-sounding legal instruments have become all-important, not necessarily because of their financial worth but for their strategic and marketing value. Simply put, patents are a means to gaining a competitive advantage.
Don't Let Waste Go to Waste
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
It sounds simple. It's not.
Just ask Bill Caesar, who runs the recycling and organic growth units of Waste Management (WM), America's biggest trash company, which has $13.3 billion in revenues last year.
It's hard to get many cities and towns to embrace recycling.
It's hard to get homeowners to figure out which plastics go into which bin.
It's expensive to build out the infrastructure needed to separate materials, and ship them to customers.
Acta develops new alkaline electrolyzer that could make hydrogen more viable
Acta unveils new electrolyzers
Italy's Acta S.p.A, a developer of hydrogen generation systems, has developed a new alkaline membrane electrolyzer that is not reliant on a catalyst made of platinum or iridium. The company suggests that this new electrolyzer could cost only a third as much as more conventional models that rely on catalysts using expensive materials. Acta notes that it has developed the only other electrolyzer that currently exists in the hydrogen market, putting the company in a strong position to have a profound impact on the fuel cell industry as a whole.

Motor manufacturers accelerate vehicle carbon cuts
Figures show almost half of the major car companies' fleets already have average emissions below the 2015 limit of 130g of CO2 per km
Car manufacturers continue to make progress towards EU carbon emissions targets, with almost half already achieving the 2015 benchmark.
Figures from analysts Redspy published last week show that by July this year the fleets of 15 of the 31 major European manufacturers already had average emissions below the 130 grams of CO2 per kilometre mark that will become compulsory by 2015
However, manufacturers are still a way short of the 2020 target, which will require average emissions to have fallen to 95g/km.

Depending on How Much and How Long, Light from Self-Luminous Tablet Computers Can Affect Evening Melatonin, Delaying Sleep
New LRC research can aid in the development of "circadian-friendly" electronic devices
A new study from the Lighting Research Center (LRC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute shows that a two-hour exposure to electronic devices with self-luminous "backlit" displays causes melatonin suppression, which might lead to delayed bedtimes, especially in teens.
A Lesson in Sleep Learning
Is sleep learning possible? A new Weizmann Institute study appearing today in Nature Neuroscience online has found that if certain odors are presented after tones during sleep, people will start sniffing when they hear the tones alone – even when no odor is present – both during sleep and, later, when awake. In other words, people can learn new information while they sleep, and this can unconsciously modify their waking behavior.

Controlling Superconductors with Light
TAU researcher discovers that a ray of light could lead to the next generation of superconductors
A superconductor, which can move electrical energy with no wasteful resistance, is the holy grail of cost-effective, efficient, and "green" power production. Unlike traditional conductors such as copper or silver, which waste power resources and lose energy when they heat up, an ideal superconductor would continuously carry electrical current without losing any power.
Cooled coal emissions would clean air and lower health and climate-change costs
Refrigerating coal-plant emissions would reduce levels of dangerous chemicals that pour into the air — including carbon dioxide by more than 90 percent — at a cost of 25 percent efficiency, according to a simple math-driven formula designed by a team of University of Oregon physicists.
The computations for such a system, prepared on an electronic spreadsheet, appeared in Physical Review E, a journal of the American Physical Society.
The Laser Beam as a "3D Painter"
With laser beams, molecules can be fixed at exactly the right position in a three dimensional material. The new method developed at the Vienna University of Technology can be used to grow biological tissue or to create micro sensors.
There are many ways to create three dimensional objects on a micrometer scale. But how can the chemical properties of a material be tuned at micrometer precision? Scientists at the Vienna University of Technology developed a method to attach molecules at exactly the right place. When biological tissue is grown, this method can allow the positioning of chemical signals, telling living cells where to attach. The new technique also holds promise for sensor technology: A tiny three dimensional "lab on a chip" could be created, in which accurately positioned molecules react with substances from the environment.
How methane becomes fish food
Methane produced at the bottom of our lakes provides nutrition for microorganisms and eventually becomes an indirect food source for fish. These findings were presented in a one of a kind study that contradicts previous perceptions of lakebed sediment methane stores being lost in the food chain.
Methane is an organic carbon compound containing the fundamental building block of nearly all living material: carbon. It provides an important source of energy and nutrients for bacteria. Methane is produced in oxygen-free environments and is found in abundance at the bottom of lakes.

Vitamin B12 deficiency: tracking the genetic cause
Some people have inherited conditions that leave them unable to process vitamin B12.
Vitamin B12 is essential to human health. However, some people have inherited conditions that leave them unable to process vitamin B12. As a result they are prone to serious health problems, including developmental delay, psychosis, stroke and dementia. An international research team recently discovered a new genetic disease related to vitamin B12 deficiency by identifying a gene that is vital to the transport of vitamin into the cells of the body.
Stanford researchers discover the 'anternet'
A collaboration between a Stanford ant biologist and a computer scientist has revealed that the behavior of harvester ants as they forage for food mirrors the protocols that control traffic on the Internet.
On the surface, ants and the Internet don't seem to have much in common. But two Stanford researchers have discovered that a species of harvester ants determine how many foragers to send out of the nest in much the same way that Internet protocols discover how much bandwidth is available for the transfer of data. The researchers are calling it the "anternet."

Trident Iceni Diesel Grand Tourer Coming To Salon Privé 2012
As far as sports and GT cars are concerned, the British and the Italians are best. However, while the Italians may have the likes of Ferrari and the rest, Britain has a myriad of small 'shed-based' manufacturers which make unique cars for people looking for a very specific kind of car.
Take the £75,000 (€94,880 / $119,160) Trident Iceni, a hand-built car which is very British and truly interesting. It is a two-seater GT cruiser, with its big 6.6-liter V8 engine mid-mounted behind the front axle. It produces 430 hp and 1290 Nm (950 lb-ft), yet those figures can be boosted to 660 hp and 1420 Nm (1050 lb-ft) with an available engine upgrade.
This monster of an engine allows the Iceni to sprint from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in under 4 seconds and on to a top speed of around 320 km/h (200 mph). Furthermore, if a constant speed of 110 km/h (70 mph) is maintained, the engine will only turn over at some 980 rpm, allowing the car to achieve an incredible efficiency figure for such a big engine - 4.1 l/100km or 68.9 UK mpg, allowing it to travel as much as 3,200 km (2000 miles) on a tankfull of regular diesel, mineral diesel, bio diesel, palm oil or linseed oil.
Trident Sports Cars managing director, Phillip Bevan, says: "We are very pleased to be at Salon Privé which this year is a great celebration of all things British and home grown talent - something we feel very strongly about at Trident. It is also a place where sports cars and super cars of this calibre are sold, and we look forward to taking new orders for the Iceni at Syon Park this September."

Recycled beer bottles used to construct Las Vegas building
Las Vegas is also known as Sin City for its over the top glitz, the way it appears to promote glamour over everything else and its promotion of the indulgence of one's senses to the point of being gluttonous. By its apparent promotion of vices, being eco-friendly is perhaps the last thing on the minds of builders which is exactly why the Morrow Royal Pavilion stands out as a beacon of eco-righteousness in Las Vegas.
Used as a manufacturing facility, the building is made entirely from recycled beer bottles. All the bottles used in the structure were collected by Realm of Design from hotels located near the Las Vegas Strip. The project was commissioned by Scott McCombs, an entrepreneur, and was inspired by England's Swarkestone Hall Pavilion. With a 30,000-square-foot of floor space inside, the structure is already being dubbed the largest building in the world constructed from recycled bottled.
UbiCiT electric monorail caters to Montreal's growing transportation needs
Montreal is growing and developing fast, and so is the need for urban public transportation systems that are light on the environment but could manage the growing needs. Industrial designer Frederic Laurin-Lalonde from the University of Montreal has come up with a concept electric monorail, which is perfectly suited for the city.
Christened the UbiCiT, the electric monorail is proposed for the first phase of Quebec network of monorail that extends from Montreal to its southern suburbs. The electric monorail, which is designed to be suspended either meters above the ground, will be highly energy efficient and can easily carry 300 people, while still allowing access to people with reduced mobility and those who come to the station riding their bikes.
Since the concept has been designed to be suspended directly above existing roads and highways, local people will still be able to use the space below, while admiring the monorail passing right over their heads. The design has been made as aerodynamic as possible, so that only a small percentage of electricity is consumed to overcome drag and the monorail can zip past as fast as possible.

Sydney to London on plastic fuel
Sydney is the departure point of the world's first flight using a fuel made from "end of life" plastic. Later this year British pilot Jeremy Rowsell plans to fly back home from Australia in a single engine Cessna, which normally runs on diesel, according to a report by Business Green.
The experimental fuel used during the journey is made by melting plastic waste in an oxygen-free environment; a process known as pyrolysis. The distillate can be separated different fuels, such as gasoline, diesel and kerosene, which have low sulfur and high cetane qualities.
It is being produced by an Irish company Cynar Plc, which believes that with the quantity of waste plastic available, there is a ready market for its "End of Life Plastic to Diesel" (ELPD) process. It points out that US dumps 26 million tonnes of plastics into landfill each year and Europe throws away another 15 million tonnes.
The company claims that at the present level of development its process can produce up to 19,000 liters of fuel from 20 tonnes of waste, with the balance of material being turned into carbon char.
Cynar is actively seeking partners with experience in the waste and fuel industries to work together in rapidly commercializing it technology.
The first full scale ELPD is operating in Ireland and Cynar a £70m (USD111 million) contract with SITA/SuezEnvironment to build 10 more, the first of which has received planning permission in the UK.
Engineering students build UK's first hydrogen powered locomotive

Sunbathing keeps these insects healthy – study
Western Boxelder bugs (WBB), found largely in B.C. interior regions, are known to group together in sunlit patches and while there, release monoterpenes, strong-smelling chemical compounds that help protect the bugs by killing germs on their bodies.
Researchers previously thought the compounds had a role in reproduction or defending the bugs against predators. But their latest study found that the compounds were emitted when the bugs were in sunshine – in effect, sunbathing – and weren't used for communication or other purposes.

La rue des Marins est une voie piétonne située dans le centre-ville de la commune de Nantes, dans le département français de la Loire-Atlantique.

Description
La rue des Marins relie le quai de la Fosse à la rue de l'Héronnière. En partie pavée et formée par un escalier, elle n'est pas ouverte à la circulation automobile. Son histoire est associée à la prostitution dans l'ancien quartier chaud du port de Nantes, du  jusq'au milieu du .

Historique
La rue est habitée jusqu'au  par la communauté espagnole. L'abbé Durville rapporte qu'on y trouve alors un jardin dit « des Quatre-Nations », c'est-à-dire « Jardin de la Nation » (autrement dit « Jardin de la Nation Espagnole »), d'où le nom de « rue de la Nation » que cette voie porte pendant un temps.

L'activité du port de Nantes gagne le site de la Fosse, sur la rive droite de la Loire, dès le Moyen Age, entraînant la création d'un nouveau faubourg. Les trafics progressent fortement au milieu du  avec l'ouverture du port sur les marchés coloniaux et  l'importation de sucre.

A partir du , les armateurs enrichis se font construire des hôtels particuliers le long du quai tandis que le coteau à l'arrière, longtemps occupé par des vignes et des terres agricoles (« tenues »), est peu à peu urbanisé.

Le quartier de la Fosse ainsi formé est constitué d'un dédale de ruelles incluant la rue des Marins, dont les escaliers relient le quai à la ville haute. Le petit peuple du port y vit caché dans de modestes habitations qui forment le quartier réservé où se développent à partir du milieu du  les « maisons de tolérance », que les marins et bateliers de Loire surnomment poétiquement les « maisons de dentelle ». L'une des premières ouvre au numéro 16 de la rue des Marins.

Les « maisons closes » sont répertoriées et réglementées par la municipalité qui  circonscrit la prostitution à trois rues entre les années 1930 et 1940 : d'Ancin, des Trois-Matelots et des Marins. La rue des Marins est notamment l'adresse des établissements la Demi-Lune, le Floréal ou le Tabarin.

Pendant la Seconde guerre mondiale, la ville compte 14 établissements. Ils sont strictement réservés à la Wehrmacht pendant l'Occupation. Certains sont consacrés aux militaires du rang et aux sous-officiers, tandis que d'autres n'admettent que les officiers. Le quartier est durement frappé par les bombardements des 16 et 23 septembre 1943, entraînant de nombreuses destructions mais épargnant relativement la rue d'Ancin, de nos jours la mieux préservée des trois rues.

Treize établissements sont encore en activité à Nantes quand la loi Marthe Richard du 13 avril 1946 abolit le régime de la prostitution réglementée en France, entraînant l'interdiction des maisons closes et consécutivement, leur fermeture.

Q: Jquery traversing up instead of down I have a bootstrap dropdown that I am trying to populate I guess you would call header with the value, kind of like you would see on a regular html dropdown. So the user knows what they selected in the menu.
My issue is that if you have more than one drop down on a page the jquery will target them both and not just the one I'm selecting from. Normally I would fix this by adding a $(this).parent(), but the html is a bit more complex and I really rather not do a chain of
.parent().parent().parent()
There must be a better way of doing this that I'm missing or just plain forgetting.
my html looks like

    <button class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle col-md-12 dropBtn" type="button" id="dropdownMenu1" data-toggle="dropdown">

    </button>

and my jQuery looks like this
$(".dropdown-menu li a").click(function(){
    $(".dropBtn.btn:first-child").html(''+$(this).text()+'');
    $(".dropBtn.btn:first-child").val($(this).text());
});

and a jsfiddle to play with
http://jsfiddle.net/0p1Lhzq0/
I have been playing with parentsUtil() as well, but that just doesn't seem right.
Any help would be wonderful!

A: Use this:
$(".dropdown-menu li a").click(function(){
    $(this).closest('.dropdown').find('.btn:first-child').html(''+$(this).text()+'').val($(this).text());
});

Corrected fiddle

Big Conspiracy is the second studio album by British rapper J Hus. It was released on 24 January 2020 by Black Butter Records/Sony Music UK for streaming and digital download. The album features production from frequent collaborator Jae5, alongside IO, TSB and Nana Rogues, plus guest appearances from Iceè TGM, Koffee, Burna Boy and Ella Mai. It follows the 2017 debut album, Common Sense, and the 2018 EP Big Spang.

Two singles were released to promote the album: "Must Be" and "No Denying", both charting in the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart. The album debuted atop the UK Albums Chart, becoming J Hus' first UK number-one album. It also charted in Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Ireland, Norway and Sweden. Big Conspiracy received widespread acclaim from critics and was nominated for the Brit Award for British Album of the Year in 2021.

Background
The album was officially announced by J Hus the day before release via social media, following several tracks being leaked online earlier in the week.

Critical reception

Big Conspiracy received widespread acclaim from critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, Big Conspiracy received a weighted average score of 86, based on ten reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".

Granting a perfect score, Dhruva Balram of NME praised the "excellent, career-defining production" and J Hus' "range and gift for incorporating multiple genres within one album", concluding it is a "career-defining collection". For The Line of Best Fit, William Rosebury wrote that Big Conspiracy "certifies J Hus as one of the most influential artists in UK music. With the expansion and growth of UK music over the past decade, many people have attempted to define what exactly UK rap or 'underground' music is. The truth is that it's completely undefinable – it's grime, afrobeat, soul, drill, dancehall, hip-hop, R&B, garage, jungle – it's all of them, and none of them. J Hus embodies this melting pot of sounds, and with Big Conspiracy he delivers an album that once again blazes a trail for everyone else to follow."

Track listing

Notes
 The album's tracklist was updated on 4 February 2020 to include the song "One and Only".

On Cowboys/Redskins cap issue, NFL and NFLPA revised CBA without a vote
Posted by Mike Florio on March 14, 2012, 11:28 AM EDT
The NFL's decision to remove $46 million in cap space from two teams that love to spend and to redistribute it to 28 other teams, several of whom hate to spend, continues to receive plenty of attention, despite the launch of free agency.
Of course, the fact that the news hit the day before the start of free agency, when the Cowboys and Redskins typically spend lots of cap dollars, has given the story far more traction than it would have had at any other time of the year.
Surely, the league would have preferred to slip this one through the media/fan five hole on Christmas Eve or the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Indeed, of all 366 days on the 2012 calendar, the worst day to have this kind of news break was the day that it broke — the day before the opening of the annual free-agency marketplace.
But it came out now because the league needed leverage in order to get the NFLPA to agree to it. And the NFLPA agreed because the league in exchange helped pump the salary cap from $116 million to $120.6 million for 2012, which may have helped NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith save his job, given that his contract expires this month.
Last year's cap was $120.375 million; a drop less than eight months after the signing of a new CBA would have potentially triggered a mutiny.
So, fine, the NFL and NFLPA agreed to this. But here's the thing. To the extent that the league and the union were agreeing to a fairly significant modification of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, it happened without formal approval being obtained by the league (via 24 of 32 owners) or the union (via its Executive Committee and Board of Player Representatives, at a minimum).
If pushed, the league and the union surely would claim that so-called "side letter agreements" routinely are executed between the parties, without membership votes. Still, under that device, any proposed term that would be unpopular with either or both side's membership during "normal" CBA negotiations could be deferred until after the ink dries on the deal, and then reduced to a "side letter" that is negotiated without a vote.
On something this important, shouldn't there have been a discussion with ownership and an opportunity to vote? Four teams (the Redskins, Cowboys, Saints, and Raiders) likely would have voted against the move; if five more would have agreed that it was wrong to punish teams for refusing to engage in collusion, the measure would have died.
More importantly, even if the player-leadership of the NFLPA had decided that it made sense to agree to the reallocation of the cap space in order to get the cap number for 2012 higher than the number in 2011, the exercise of educating the Executive Committee and the Board of Player Representatives could have sparked the same mutiny that would have happened if the NFL had simply dropped a $116 million cap bomb on the players.
That mutiny could still be looming when the union heads to Hawaii this month. (Or Florida. Or wherever they'll be having their tax-deductible working vacation in 2012.)

I hope Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder sue the pants off the NFL.
cowboys282 says:
Whats this? Collusion, backroom deals, and rich people trying to squeeze people to get richer.
Is this the NFL or Wall St? Starting to get hard to tell the difference.
NFL needs to start getting things back to football and stop trying to ruin the integrity of the game we all love.
millertime30 says:
Who can find a better lawyer? The tandem of Jerry Jones and Daniel Snyder, or Roger Goodell and his NFL goon squad?
tdk24 says:
So the Raiders don't get the salary bump because they cut Jamarcus Russell? Weren't they penalized enough just by drafting that guy? It's like the league thinks that Al sat down and said "hehe, i know a way to cheat the cap, i'll draft Russell, then cut his ass 3 years later, hehe." Give me F'ing break!
defscottyb says:
2010 was a year without a salary cap… period. How can you penalize any team for doing nothing wrong? It's like announcing an all-you-can-eat buffet and then telling the patrons as they walk in "don't eat too much or you will be penalized" and sending them the bill 2 years later. Makes absolutely no sense at all.
edavidberg says:
This is a tough situation … while the teams did not violate the letter of the law they were warned repeatedly against front loading deals. I have no sympathy for the Redskins or Cowboys for that reason, they thought they could get away with it despite being warned.
With that said, why were the contracts approved? Why wasn't a specific standard set? there is gross incompetence from the NFL on this issue.
mnovis says:
The NFL front office seems to be getting dangerously close to believing they are all powerful and can not be questioned….this may have some far reaching ramifications if it goes to court, because its clearly illegal.
hellabasedlol says:
Why are teams that spent as little as possible not penalized? They affected competitive balance as much as overspending teams, if not more.
bhester1906 says:
1. How can you opt out of a CBA to have an uncapped salary year but try to modify the consquences of your actions of your vote by telling teams not to take advantage of the uncapped year?
2. How can you approve the deals of a team and then penalize them a year later?
3. How is spending too much money having a negative effect on competition but not spending any money isn't? (Last time i checked the Bucs, who spent no money because there was no floor are now buying the top free agents across the board.)
4. How can you give that money to other teams?
5. Isn't it a bit fishy that the guys who are complaining, other owners, are somehow getting an additional million bucks?
6. How is this not collusion?
7. How is Goddell still have a job?
rg3isvictory says:
Fat Albert kills the skins one more time!!! Let's hope it's the last time!! Danny Boy should fight this tooth and nail. Worst case Dan can't get the league to change its position but he'll have fan support for the 1st
Time!!! Or he wins and gets a reduction or complete removal of this ridiculous judgement and becomes a hero to the fans! Not even he thought that could ever happen!!!
tedmurph says:
Right or wrong, these teams were warned repeatedly by the NFL not to do this so the league could maintain it's 'bigger picture' goal of keeping an even playing field, the goal of the cap in the first place. What these teams did doesn't just effect 2010, but preceding and subsequent yrs. The teams decided to ignore the warnings and are gonna have to pay. If the NFL and NFLPA signed off on it, there's not much these teams can do about it. Although the penalty seems excessive, did these teams really think the NFL would just turn their heads and do nothing?
bergencountyjc says:
With all these issues concerning money throughout the league, is it really necessary to have meetings in Hawaii? There's 31 facilities available.
jason1980 says:
NFL guilty of collusion?? Wonder what the fine will be, maybe Godell will suspend himself from the league for life? I love it when the "pot calls the kettle black".
urfinished says:
And how come no teams that underspent on purpose in the "uncapped year" were penalized as they were saving money to gain a competitive advantage in the future?
There are SO many holes in this…I'd be shocked if the cowboys and indians didnt get some sort of resolution…but what?
And the fact that the head of the committee that finalized this decision is the owner of one of their two division rivals (Mara) makes this even worse.
And ot those saying they were warned with a letter multiple times…then the league shouldnt approve the contracts. Dont approve the changes and none of this happens. They are trying to retroactively correct something they screwed up on in the first place. Poor argument.
cowboyhater says:
RG3 will make us skins fans forget about this once the season starts. We'll be fine. We have more on this roster than the rest of the league is giving us credit for, and these second year players will prove their worth this year. The blessing in disguise here is that we will not have to worry about big contracts to 1st round picks the next couple of years, while still being able to draft our 2nd – 7th round draft picks, for those years. F u Goddell, and that goes for the rest of the cry baby owners who didn't have the balls to payout those huge contracts to create room under the cap.
raiderfankirk says:
Al Davis would have had a field day with the NFL in court on this one.
stevecmh says:
If the NFL was so concerned about the impact of an uncapped year on competitive balance in the league, why did they decide to opt out of the labor agreement anyway?
After all, it was their decision that triggered the uncapped year that they were so concerned about in the first place.
skin94249 says:
That 116 million cap would have lost D. Smith and 32 players reps their jobs !!!!! Smith may still lose his.
maverick2560 says:
Secret discussions, ignoring procedural requirements, maybe the NFL looks at it's rights under the new cba in a similar way the Bush administration considered it's power under the Patriot act. The way Roger Goodell acts is eerily similar.Perhaps the NFL looks at the union the way the Bush administration looked at it's new supreme court. Wait….that is giving the nflpa much too credit..they have clearly thrown the towel in…..remember the Gene Upshaw critics….I think it is clear that even he would not have given up like the union has as of late.
srobert1117 says:
I don't know why people are blaming Goodell and the NFL front office. They work for the owners. The other owners pushed for this which is why fighting it will go nowhere.
The Redskins and Cowboys can't really go to court with the argument that as they were thick as thieves with regards to the TV contracts and other forms of collusion that took place leading up to the new agreement. They were simply trying to get one over on the system and the other owners. Now their partners are whacking them and they don't like it. Arguing antitrust is biting the hand that feeds you. I am sure any protest not in the courts will be voted on by the owners. Any fight in court will hurt all parties involved more than it will help.
jamaltimore says:
Are you trying to prove the obvious that the 32 owners collude for the best interest of the sport? Aren't you the same guy that though Jeff Kessler could ruin the sport. If skins and cowboys go forward with legal case they would be directly asking the Government to step to remove the anti trust exemption the NFL needs to remain for the sport we all love.
When you consider the two clubs involved I'm sure they would like to achieve that. Isn't that the reason they are now being reprimanded by the other 30 owners?
Funny the rivalry between the cowboys and redskins is now a joke on the field and you wonder if it comes from the fact that the owners are buddies and tied together as 1 and 1a most hated owners in pro sports.
seattlecvd says:
There were other teams that spent far less than they would have needed to under the old CBA who also gained a competitive advantage by choosing NOT to spend money when there was no salary floor. Yet, we don't see the NFL punishing those teams. My bet is that there are some very high-priced lawyers at work drafting up some serious litigation documents to be delivered to NFL headquarters. I am also willing to bet the Cowboys and Redskins come out on the winning side of this one.
fatoldsun1 says:
They front loaded contracts so future capped years didn't account for this. They were told not to do this. They didn't spend more.
They didnt know what the cap would be at the time. There was no CBA so they had to wait and see.
They told 32 teams not to front load. If 2 did it, then it is unfair to the other 30 teams.
They just gave cap space so the NFLPA would cry foul taking that money out of the pool. They negotiated a final sum in CBA.
It was unfair what the Redskins and Cowboys did. Need to be punished.
No CBA at that time.
He does a great job IMO and runs a multi billion $$ corporation that is thriving.
bigjdve says:
tedmurph; edavidberg;
An uncapped year means that you can spend your money how you will. The reason that there was an uncapped year was in theory supposed to be an incentive to get a deal done sooner, so that teams couldn't do exactly what the Skins and Cowboys did.
A deal wasn't reached. The uncapped year was agreed upon by the Owners and the NFLPA. There was a CBA in place at that time.
Warning the owners not to spend like they did if nothing else violates the who definition of an uncapped year. Basically they were saying, we know it isn't capped BUT you still can't spend. That is a violation of the CBA.
Also when you have a cap there is a hard ceiling and a hard floor. There were no punishments for the teams that didn't spend so that they would have more money now. How else do you think that the Bucs can afford to do what they are doing now.
Forget that it is the Redskins and Cowboys, look at the bigger picture. The next time a CBA agreement comes around and the players call collusion they will bring this up in court and they will have a hard time winning, just because the PA has someone that was trying to save his arse doesn't mean that telling the owners not to spend is acceptable or even legal.
It will be interesting to see how this shakes out.
khuxford says:
This is getting more and more traction. The NFL and NFLPA leadership violated the rules and, quite likely, the law. I don't think DeMaurice Smith survives this, while Goodell has been far too successful in his run to get jettisoned just for this. Don't get me wrong: it'll burn up much of the good will he's engendered.
To folks saying the teams didn't violate the letter of the law, but they were warned: they didn't violate the spirit of the law, either, because there was no actual written rule. Had there been on, they'd have been sued because IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COLLUSION AND ILLEGAL.
I'm a Jet fan (insert jokes here), so I'm not saying this as someone who truly gives a heck what happens to the affected teams. But this was just flat out wrong.
billfromnorthernvirginia says:
To me, as a fair-minded sports fan, this is very serious. I wonder if there are federal criminal laws that have been violated here, with respect to both illegally changing a CBA and with regard to antitrust. Where is DOJ on this?
Putting the criminal aspect aside, how would the NFL and other owners defend a civil suit? The crux of their defense is that the 2 teams in question refused to participate in a scheme to depress player salaries in the uncapped year. That CLEARLY violates Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
laserw says:
Apparently the NFL has a bounty system on the Redskins and Cowboys.
Will the NFL commish banish himself for life?
Will Danny and Jerry sue the NFL out of existance?
Will the ankle-biting owners of small market teams finally get it that the Redskins and Cowboys make it possible for the ankle-biters to actually stay in business?
I knew this "ruling" didn't pass the smell test.
Prepare for the fireworks. The 'skins and 'boys will be colluding with their lawyers (the best that money can buy) to ensure the NFL is taught a lesson. And it is about time this Commish gets his buttocks tanned behind the woodshed.
This is going to be delicious – no rules broken – backroom deals – violating own rules to punish teams which didn't break any rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Teams that didn't spend didn't get a competative advantage, they just affected there own bottom line and the product they put on the field. That's their business. They couldn't roll over money they didn't spend, since there was no cap. Also, under the old CBA the spending floor was 75% of the cap, about 90 mil in 2010. Only 2 teams spent less than that, TB and KC.
The NFL just tried to keep control of a system that has made it the best league in sports. If you want to call it collusion or anything else, it was for the greater good. The NFL approved contracts because they didn't violate the CBA, but warned teams that taking advantage of the anomalous uncapped yr, affecting future yrs, would come with consequences. The league and the union agreed on how to deal with it. I don't see the problem.
glen1904 says:
It is collusion but just like Wall St. were not one billionaire has seen a court the Billionaires in the NFL can do what ever they want. Its the new American way. More and more I just want football on Sat. and hunt and fish on Sun. The NFL is a joke! and they will be losing fans, don't let them hit and punish owners that want to win so all the "bottom line profit is all that matters" owners don't look bad. as much as i hate the BCS this product has become worse.
nortonfest says:
PFT, I know you have a few other things going on this week, but I would really love to see an article with real contract data from other players on other teams. Many people are holding up the Bears contract to Peppers as an example, but you guys could put some real facts before us instead of what is being put into the comments.
I am on the side that this smells rotten, and as a Cowboys fan would love to see Jones stick it to them. The fact that Jerry has been so quiet on this issue so far amazes me more than anything else!
PFT: "The NFL's decision to remove $46 million in cap space from two teams that love to spend and to redistribute it to 28 other teams, several of whom hate to spend, continues to receive plenty of attention, despite the launch of free agency."
The Cardinals only carried over $2 million of the possible $7 million from 2011. Just an example of one team that won't be spending the extra $1.6 million that they get via this scam.
skinsfaninnebraska says:
This is a total screw job by the NFL. I hope Snyder and Jones take the league to court and get this thrown out, and I hope it costs De Smith and Big Brother Roger their jobs. What a bunch of crap to punish franchises who havent done anything wrong.
anthonyfromstatenisland says:
So, the owners and the union revised the CBA without a vote.
The shape of things to come regarding the 18-game schedule? 🙂

The Iowa State Fair Has Announced the First 2022 Grandstand Act
Courtlin Published: December 1, 2021
Carmen Mandato, Getty Images
2021 isn't even over yet, but next year's Iowa State Fair is already off to a great start!
Country superstar Keith Urban has officially announced a new tour, and it'll be making a stop right here in Iowa in 2022! Keith's "The Speed of Now" tour will be taking over the Grandstand at next summer's Iowa State Fair in Des Moines on Saturday, August 20th at 8 p.m.
Opening up for Keith is another talented country singer, Ingrid Andress. You may remember Ingrid from her debut hit single "More Hearts Than Mine," which was nominated for a CMA and Grammy Award in 2020.
Keith was actually scheduled to play the Iowa State Fair back in 2020, but, as we all know, the entire fair was cancelled that year due to the pandemic. Then, in early June, we got word that he wasn't able to reschedule his show for the 2021 fair, so Dan + Shay took his place on stage Saturday, August 21st. We're happy that he was finally able to make things work for 2022!
Tickets for Keith Urban's concert will go on sale at iowastatefair.org next Friday, December 10th at 10 a.m. But, if you had tickets for his 2021 show, you will be emailed a pre-sale code that will allow you to get your tickets one day early! Tickets range from $45 to $90. You can get more information on the concert HERE.
Keith Urban's show is the first Iowa State Fair show to be announced for 2022, but he's not the only big artist to be playing here in Iowa next year! Check out a list of other concerts scheduled in 2022 HERE.
The Best Country Singer From Every State
Some states, like Oklahoma and Texas, are loaded with famous country singers. Others, like Nevada and Maine, are still looking for a real breakthrough artist. See the best and most successful country music artist from all 50 states, starting with Hank Williams and Alabama.

At the time, I didn't know about sweet story of that engagement ring. It's a story that James's sister Anna shared at Don's funeral, years later.
It had only been 9 months since Don's transplant, and the Lane family was still struggling financially. James had been working at Discount Tire for several months, and he and Donnie would construct walls, repair plumbing, and repair the facade on the dilapidated building when they weren't busy with school or work.
James had picked out the engagement ring at a small jewelry store on 6th street. He had been making small payments on it with the bits of his Discount Tire paycheck that he didn't give his parents to help keep his family afloat. It was nearing the end of the school semester at WTAMU, and James was anxious to propose before I went home for Christmas break. He was adding up the paychecks he had left, and was discouraged that it wasn't going to happen.
Don saw how heartbroken James was that his efforts were not enough to have the ring paid for before Christmas break. He decided it was not good and to do something about it. He rounded up cash all afternoon from various sources, including the pawn shop, and he went down to 6th street and made the last payment.
Then he headed to Discount Tire. I wish I could have seen the scene in the tire bay, with James covered in grease and soot hugging his dad with tears in both their eyes.
We had a simple wedding. I knew my parents couldn't afford something super fussy, and I was shy. The thought of having something that big that was all about me was terrifying. So even though I wanted it to be acceptable, I didn't mind if it was as simple as I could get away with. We honestly may have spent more on my daughter's sixteenth birthday last year than we spent on our wedding.
James had planned a little honeymoon to San Antonio. And when we got home from those few days away. We moved into an apartment I had found a few months earlier. I was so thankful to not be living in the dorms anymore.
We were only 20 years old. We were just babies. We had dated three years, so we knew each other well and got along really well. We still do.
It is still quite a big deal to merge a married couple instead of just two kids.
In the King James version, it uses this word "cleave" instead of hold fast. That word seems to add some drama to this business of marriage. And if new marriages can be defined by anything, it might be drama.
Some days it didn't feel like James was leaving his father and mother to "cleave" into me. We were still in those beginning years of ministry at Citychurch. Our lives were very involved with James's family's life. After a few months at the apartment, we had to move in with James's parents. I was still in college and working part time as a secretary for an accountant, and James was working full time at Discount Tire. We both were helping build Citychurch in our free time.
If I'm honest I wasn't fully "cleaving" into James yet either. I had grown up in a financially stable home because of the fact that my dad is a hard worker.
As James and I struggled financially and emotionally as a young newlywed couple, I know I had it in the back of my mind that I could always just leave and go home to my parents nice, safe nest.
That was a turning point in our married life. We both knew that we had to put our faith fully in each other for it to work.
After about six months of married life, James was given a full time job at Citychurch with a very small salary and a parsonage to live in. That was a huge blessing to have privacy again and for James to be able to concentrate full time on the ministry.
I continued to work part-time until after Lucy was born, and then I just went to school and took care of her.
James was able to find a way to make extra money by doing video work several Christian camps during the summer, a few video projects, and some filming gigs with friends in town.
When Lucy was 3, we were finally had enough money together to buy our first house. James continued to do extra video work. He would make a little extra money in the spring filming ballet recitals and selling DVDs.
The year that the church was able to give him enough of a raise so that he could just concentrate on Citychurch's summer ministry instead of being gone to camps and having his attention divided was really good.
God has been faithful to take care of our family throughout the years.
This story of putting my faith in my husband and in God to provide for our family or my story yesterday about moving to Amarillo might seem small. Compared to what my friend David is about to do, it is.
Our family get the New York Times. I don't have a lot of time to sit and read it, but my son Andrew is using it for school reports this year in his home schooling. I flipped through the Sunday paper and saw a report about assassinations of villagers by the Boko Haram in one of the countries in Africa that James has visited.
Later this week I saw a news report that President Obama is sending troops to that African country to help protect communities from the Muslim extremist group that has moved in.
Our friend David has a trip planned to that country. He is going right into the bees' nest of Boko Haram to carry the hope of the gospel.
That type of trip takes extreme faith, but God has proven himself faithful to my friend David over and over again. God's sent angels to protect him. He's changed men's hearts right in front of David. God's kept him from being put in prison for evangelizing muslim communities. God's delivered babies in huts during breech births. He's led David's steps over deserts, and He has led his boats over dangerous rivers and lakes.
Maybe you are at a place of simple steps of faith, putting your faith in God to provide for you or putting trust in your husband. Or maybe God is calling you to something bigger. The good news is that God will be there to lead you right where you are at, and God will provide the faith and the wisdom just as you need it.
I like to share a song with each blog post. There are a dozen different songs that I could have chosen to go with this blog post, but I'm going to go obscure on you. This song isn't on YouTube or even iTunes.

De vijgenwespen (Agaonidae) vormen een familie binnen de orde der vliesvleugeligen (Hymenoptera).

Kenmerken
Deze wespen hebben een zwart lichaam en transparante vleugels. De gevleugelde vrouwtjes zijn niet groter dan 3 mm. De mannetjes zijn ongevleugeld.

Leefwijze
De vrouwtjes leven in symbiose met vijgenbomen. Ze kruipen in vijgen, die binnenin bekleed zijn met bloempjes, en bestuiven de bloemen.

Voortplanting en ontwikkeling
De eitjes worden afgezet in vijgen. De larven ontwikkelen zich in de vijg en als ze eenmaal volwassen zijn, worden de vrouwtjes door de mannetjes bevrucht, die dan op zoek gaan naar een nieuwe boom.

Verspreiding en leefgebied
Deze familie komt voor in tropische en subtropische gebieden op vijgenbomen.

Would you like to speak with an attorney regarding child visitation plans? Contact our firm today to arrange your consultation with Joe Newberry.
Parenting time plans in Texas are governed by statutory guidelines. However, you and your divorcing spouse may want to deviate from these guidelines and figure out a schedule that works best for you and your children. Mediation can be a valuable tool for creating such parenting schedules. If you are not the custodial parent, possession (visitation) of the children is considered a privilege and not a duty. Whether you are the custodial or non-custodial parent, we can help create child visitation arrangements that work for you.
The following chart describes standard and extended possession (visitation) times. We invite you to contact our firm with any questions you may have.
Every Thursday night during the regular school term from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Every First, Third, and Fifth weekend beginning on Friday night at 6:00 p.m. and ending on Sunday night at 6:00 p.m.

The Preform Soaking Oven System is designed and manufactured by ASI/Silica Machinery, LLC. This system is used to heat glass preforms after they have been sintered enabling excess gas still trapped in the preform after sintering to escape. Excess gas which is invisible to the naked eye, can cause bubble formation in the glass resulting in fiber breaks during the draw process, if not removed from the glass preform. If the Preform Soaking Oven is not used, it could take days or even weeks for the excess gas to escape at ambient temperature.
A further benefit of using the Preform Soaking Oven is a potential reduction in draw ramp up time since the glass preforms can be brought to the draw furnace already warm, reducing the time to bring the preform up to temperature at the draw tower.
Each Preform Soaking Oven is configured with 3 or 5 ovens which operate independently of each other.
The Preform Soaking Oven systems are comprised of four main parts, a main structure, ovens, a preform movement system, and a process control subsystem.
The structure is manufactured for strength and flexibility. The frame consists of two parts, a large base section which contains the ovens and load station, and a top section for loading.
The top section contains the vertical actuator and gripper. The small frame sits on a table on the Y-axis and Z-axis linear rails.
The ovens consist of 3 cylindrical units for core soaking and 5 cylindrical units for clad soaking. The housing is a stainless steel cylinder. The outer surface of the preform is protected from contamination. In case of breakage, the system allows for the broken material to be removed.
Preforms are loaded and unloaded automatically. Each oven can be loaded and unloaded independent of the other ovens.
A PLC is used to control the actuators. It uses closed circuit control logic to enable the machine to perform safely.

Q: Swift3 iOS -How to get Data from All IndexPaths from TableView Before Cell Is Pressed
I followed Ash Furrows tutorial collectionView inside tableView
I have  TableItem class that has a name property and an array of URLs. I have a tableView that has collectionView inside of it.
I vertically populate my tableview with the whatever amount of TableItems are available and I horizontally populate my collectionView with however many amount of urls that are inside the array from the TableItem class.
I'm not concerned with pressing a table cell and then getting the information, I want the data to be displayed simultaneously in both collections.
How can I pull the TableItem data and display it in the collectionView at the same time as the tableView?
class TableItem{
  var name: String?
  var urlsForCollection: [URl] = []
}

var tableItems = [TableItem]()

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {

    return tableItems.count
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TableCell", for: indexPath) as! TableCell

     cell.textLabel.text = tableItems[indexPath.row].name

     return cell
}

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {

     //how do I return the urlsForCollection.count from each TableItem in tableItems
}

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
     let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "CollectionCell", for: indexPath) as! CollectionCell

     //how can I access the urlsForCollection for each TableItem in tableItems
     for url in urlsForCollection{
          imageView.sd_setImage(with: url!)
     }

     return cell

 }

A: Like this:
let tableItem = tableItems[indexPath.row] as! TableItem
for url in tableItem.urlsForCollection{
      imageView.sd_setImage(with: url!)
 }

Should work.

Burkard Freiherr von Müllenheim-Rechberg (* 25. Juni 1910 in Spandau; † 1. Juni 2003 in Herrsching am Ammersee) war ein deutscher Diplomat und Autor. Nach seiner Laufbahn als Marineoffizier und seiner Ausbildung zum Juristen trat er in den diplomatischen Dienst der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ein.

Müllenheim-Rechberg war 1941 der ranghöchste Überlebende beim Untergang des Schlachtschiffs Bismarck. Seine Erlebnisse als Feuerleitoffizier an Bord der Bismarck veröffentlichte er in einem Augenzeugenbericht, der neben der seemännischen Perspektive auch eine Einordnung der Geschehnisse in ihren historischen Kontext beinhaltet.

Leben
Er entstammte dem Adelsgeschlecht derer von Müllenheim. 1929 legte er sein Abitur ab und trat im selben Jahr in die Reichsmarine ein. Er war u. a. ab Herbst 1938 Gehilfe des Deutschen Marineattachés in London. Mit Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges leistete er seinen Dienst auf verschiedenen Kriegsschiffen. Nachdem er 1941 den Untergang des Schlachtschiffs Bismarck als IV. Artillerieoffizier im Rang eines Kapitänleutnants als einer von wenigen überlebt hatte, wurde er am 1. Februar 1943 zum Korvettenkapitän befördert und war bis Ende 1946 in alliierter Kriegsgefangenschaft in Großbritannien und Kanada.

1949 legte Müllenheim-Rechberg sein Staatsexamen in Jura ab. Drei Jahre später, 1952, trat er in den Dienst des Auswärtigen Amtes und wurde Gesandtschaftsrat. 1955 nahm er an der NATO-Delegation in Paris teil, ein Jahr später an der NATO-Truppenvertragskonferenz in Bonn. 1958 wurde er als Konsul bzw. Botschafter nach Westindien berufen, ab 1965 folgte eine Tätigkeit als Botschafter in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo. 1968 wurde Müllenheim-Rechberg Generalkonsul in Toronto und erhielt im selben Jahr das Verdienstkreuz des Verdienstordens der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 1. Klasse. 1971 war er als Botschafter in Tansania wieder in Afrika tätig. 1975 trat Müllenheim-Rechberg in den Ruhestand.

Thank you all so much for the care of our father. Your kindness and generosity was well beyond the call of duty. I don't remember all the names, but all of you were wonderful! Sad times, but made easier by you all. You will always be in our hearts, and Daddy would have been so pleased. Love to you all and many thanks.

We were very impressed by the wonderful care extended to us while our mother was a patient with Covenant. I have never seen such true, sincere, heartfelt expressions of caring as I saw with your staff. Thank you more than I can say in words.
