| The Athletics made a dramatic U-turn and will start Barry Zito on Saturday against old friend Tim Hudson. Mark Mulder will be there for the weekend and the Big Three will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Sunday's home finale.
Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin announced before Tuesday's game that Barry Zito will start Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants, where he will face fellow Big Three member Tim Hudson. Despite facing the Atlanta Braves six times while Hudson was in Atlanta, Zito has never pitched against Hudson in his entire career.
It’s Happening: Bob Melvin announced that Barry Zito will start Saturday vs. Tim Hudson. http://t.co/MWSJBMb649 pic.twitter.com/qryuawCzX0
— Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) September 22, 2015
It's a fairly stunning reversal after A's officials initially dismissed the possibility of Zito starting on Saturday. What has perhaps changed in the last week or so is that the Giants are nowhere near the playoff picture, and so the potential for affecting the race to the postseason no longer exists.
Zito was throwing a bullpen session today to Stephen Vogt, tweeted the Bay Area News Group's John Hickey. And the session was already running about 20 minutes as the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser joined Bob Melvin's press gaggle.
Melvin thinks Zito could be up to 50 pitches or so for start vs. Hudson. He confirms Mulder will be there, as Mulder had told me last week.
— Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) September 22, 2015
To round out the Big Three, ESPN analyst Mark Mulder has already said he will be attending Saturday's game as a fan. However, the A's also have a special treat for A's fans attending Sunday's home finale:
A's just announced they'll honor Zito, Hudson and Mulder before Sunday's game and they'll throw out the first pitch
— Guy Haberman (@GuyHaberman) September 22, 2015
Also fired up about Zito vs. Hudson: Lew Wolff, who says he understands the Big Three will be honored as a group here on Sunday.

| Kimberley and Gary gave us the biggest compliment you could ever hope to receive as a Wood Hall wedding photographer or any wedding photographer for that matter. They changed their wedding date to book us. We were overwhelmed by this and absolutely over the moon to provide their Wood Hall wedding photography. We always try to avoid hearing or discussing the weather forecast for any wedding day as it's the one thing that no one can do anything about, but we have to admit that as the date drew closer it was very hard not to think about it, particularly as it had been a scorcher on the day Kim and Gary had originally booked, and the last thing we wanted was for it to be a disappointment on their wedding day. It turned out to be wonderful weather, not too hot but warm and sunny and the wet stuff stayed firmly away for the whole day. What a huge relief that was! Kim got ready at home, which is just a short walk from St Andrew's church in Kirby Malzeard, and after capturing some of the morning's preparations, we met up with Gary to keep him busy ahead of his bride's arrival. Kim and her dad arrived in a VW camper van, very much in keeping with the vintage theme of the wedding. After the ceremony the newly married Mr and Mrs Breckon were whisked off to Wood Hall in the camper van and the weather and great co-operation from everyone meant a smooth and quick group photo session, leaving time for Kim and Gary to have some portraits taken before the wedding breakfast. The couple had put a lot of effort into placing their own unique stamp on things, with the table decorations and place cards hand made by Kim, and the Vavasour Suite looked beautiful. We knew that photographs in the Italian gardens were a high priority for her and after the speeches this lovely couple were more than happy to spend some time there whilst we captured some romantic images for them. Kim said she felt very nervous about being photographed but you wouldn't know it from these stunning images of a gorgeous bride. We really can't thank you both enough for going to all the trouble you did just to have us as your Wood Hall wedding photographers and we will always remember the story of how that came to be. You were absolute stars and a pleasure to spend the day with. Your album is going to be amazing! | CULTURE & ARTS |

| DETROIT: United Auto Workers President Dennis Williams on Friday said he hopes to have ratification votes on a proposed labor contract for 40,000 U.S. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles workers completed in 10 days.
Williams, speaking with reporters after UAW leadership approved the proposed contract for membership ratification, did not say whether the union would next focus labor talks with either Ford Motor Co or General Motors Co .
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) CEO Sergio Marchionne (R) and United Auto Workers (UAW) union President Dennis Williams shake hands during a news conference in Detroit, Michigan, September 15, 2015. REUTERS/Rebecca Cook
The proposed contract would narrow the gap between the lowest and highest paid UAW worker U.S. auto factory workers.
Williams also said the contract provides for "targeted" retirement incentives at some plants. He did not say if those plants would be the ones with the most higher-paid veteran workers in a two-tier pay structure. He also did not disclose details of the retirement incentives.
Earlier this week, Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne said the gap between veteran and newer "second-tier" workers would be eliminated over time. It is not going to be eliminated in the terms of the proposed four-year contract.
Williams said the separate ongoing labor talks between the union and Ford and GM are progressing well. He did not give an estimate of when he expects all contracts with the Detroit Three automakers to be wrapped up.
Fiat Chrysler has about 36,600 UAW-represented hourly plant workers and about 3,400 union white-collar employees.

| By Ben Blanchard and Michael Martina BEIJING (Reuters) - China put on its biggest display of military might on Thursday in a parade to commemorate victory over Japan in World War Two, an event shunned by most Western leaders but which underscored Beijing's growing confidence in its armed forces. President Xi Jinping, speaking on a rostrum overlooking Beijing's Tiananmen Square before the parade began, offered an unexpected olive branch by saying China would cut its troop levels by 300,000. Xi gave no timeframe for the troop cut, adding China would always "walk down the path of peaceful development". | WORLD NEWS |

Mauro Icardi's first-half goal at Chievo, the Argentine's first of the season, gave Inter a 1-0 win and left Roberto Mancini's Inter as the only team with 12 points from their opening four games.

Wales, fielding several second-string players, made a sluggish start, conceding a succession of turnovers, and Uruguay flyhalf Felipe Berchesi kicked two penalties to put his largely amateur side 6-0 ahead. | SPORTS |

| Have you ever needed a recipe so versatile it can serve several purposes? Perhaps a better question — does that kind of recipe even exist?
I created this recipe one morning when hankering for something different for breakfast. You see, I tend to get a bit geriatric when it comes to my breakfast routine. I’ll make something that I like, and before I’ve even realized it, I’m having the exact same thing every morning for weeks.
(I can say this about myself because my late grandmother was the exact same way — except she had the same breakfast for YEARS.)
For the longest time, it was two over-medium fried eggs and a glass of raw milk. Every day. For months. Then it was a dairy-free superfood smoothie with chia seeds, coconut oil, and berries — for weeks.
This shake is a new go-to in our house, especially on busy mornings when we need a quick breakfast. And, BONUS!, my kids don’t like avocados, but they love this shake! Win for me!
What’s so great about it anyway?
The healthy fats in the avocado will keep your blood sugar stable and provide the perfect pick-me-up no matter what time of day. Healthy fats assist in brain growth and function, reduce inflammation throughout the body, and are needed for proper immune system function.
Raw cacao boasts more antioxidants than regular dark chocolate, blueberries, and bananas! Studies have shown that raw cacao has the ability to boost serotonin levels, helping you calm down and have a feeling of well-being. Raw cacao is a rich source of magnesium too. If you add two full tablespoons to your shake, you’ll be getting 14% of the recommended daily amount of magnesium ( source )!
Collagen hydrolysate is a dietary supplement that contains all the benefits of gelatin that we’re always raving about, but it is made so that it can dissolve easily in both hot and cold liquids. Just a few of the health benefits of collagen hydrolysate include improved digestion, stronger hair and nails, joint recovery, and it’s a fantastic source of protein ( source ).
Finally, fresh mint is a delightful herb that has been used for millennia due to its vast and remarkable healing properties. Mint promotes healthy digestion. In fact, just inhaling fresh mint can stimulate the salivary glands, which is the first step in healthy digestion. Mint is also a natural stimulant and can help relieve sluggishness, fatigue, and depression ( source ). If you grow your own mint from cuttings, you can have fresh mint year-round for this shake!
I hope you’re convinced to give this delicious shake a try!
Chocolate Mint Shake 8 ounces coconut milk (or any other raw or non-dairy milk) 1/4 cup avocado 1 to 2 tablespoons raw cacao 1 to 2 tablespoons raw honey, to taste 1 tablespoon collagen 6 to 8 fresh mint leaves* 1 to 2 tablespoons Enjoy Life chocolate chips (optional, but yummy!) 1/2 cup ice
Serves 1, but easily doubled or tripled.
Combine ingredients in the order listed in a blender. Blend until smooth and enjoy!
*Don’t have fresh mint? Use 1 to 2 drops peppermint essential oil instead.
Sweet Success
When I made this shake one morning, I knew it was another breakfast routine waiting to happen. Then the kids wanted to try it for their afternoon snack later that week. And when we were all feeling especially munchie one evening, it made the perfect dessert.
Thus was born a recipe to serve several purposes! It can be breakfast AND a quick afternoon snack AND dessert AND late-night hunger buster! It’s a shake full of nourishing ingredients that comes together in less than five minutes. That’s my kind of recipe!
What ingredients do you like to add to your shakes and smoothies? Do you like recipes that count as breakfast AND dessert? | FOOD & DRINK |

| (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images) Is criminal justice reform dead? The media claims so. Pundits say that cops and prosecutors won’t support a Biden presidential candidacy because he’s for criminal justice reform and that Trump’s policies against illegal immigration and gangs and violent crime limit his support. The fear-mongering media’s efforts to derail criminal justice reform rest on the erroneous premise that this is a “soft on crime” position. That is flat wrong. Every taxpayer should support criminal justice reform. Every member of Congress should support criminal justice reform. Here’s why. The idea is to take more violent criminals off our streets while enabling those who are not violent to be punished in a way that allows them to continue to work, pay taxes, and support their families—instead of rendering them a drain on public resources. The states are doing this already—with great success. Isn’t this smarter? Better? Of course it is. As a veteran cop and a veteran prosecutor who have worked in law enforcement their entire careers, we know that most cops and most prosecutors serve with honor, work long hours, risk their lives, and try to do everything right. But, as Ninth Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski has said, bad cops and bad prosecutors—those who don’t follow the rules and the law—make the job so much harder for the good ones. Their misconduct diminishes the credibility of all of the good ones. Law enforcement officers, taxpayers, prosecutors—and anyone else—who oppose criminal justice or prison reform are either ill-informed on the issues or are looking at the situation through the wrong end of the telescope. As United States District Judge Jed S. Rakoff wrote: “The criminal justice system in the United States today bears little relationship to what the Founding Fathers contemplated, what the movies and television portray, or what the average American believes.” Criminal justice reform is smart and right. It will make our streets safer, the jobs of law enforcement easier, and provide more money for additional officers, training and equipment and for other services in our communities. True reform focuses on every American’s Constitutional rights, making our justice system and prisons humane and safe, efficient and effective. The realities of the system are far different from the public perceptions or beliefs of people who have not personally experienced it. Before making any judgments on these important issues, we encourage you to read two non-fiction books – our books: From Jailer to Jailed: My Journey from Police and Correction Commissioner to Inmate 84888-054, and Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice. We’re not saying this to increase book sales; get them at your library. These books reveal shocking realities that we would not have believed had we not seen them ourselves. Mr. Trump’s positions on illegal immigration and his hard line on violent crime should be respected and considered, but those views should not prevent him or anyone from supporting criminal justice reform. It’s smart business. No one is suggesting opening prison gates and flooding communities with violent convicts. We’re not talking about eliminating mandatory minimums for real drug kingpins and violent felons. We’re not talking about eliminating police funding for specialized units and protective equipment that will keep our officers and communities safe. We are addressing over-criminalization—imprisoning nonviolent people for small amounts of drugs, catching too many fish, or technical violations of obscure laws or regulations that even lawyers don’t understand. We are talking about requiring proof beyond a reasonable doubt of a significant element of criminal intent for facially innocent conduct. We are talking about even-handedly applying the law to those who break it—not selective prosecutions of the unpopular or targeting people because of who they are or their political views. It is real crime we should be prosecuting. We need to live within the boundaries of constitutional law. And every American should insist that those who are sworn to uphold the laws don’t break the laws as they enforce or prosecute them. Would any good police officer or prosecutor disagree with us? We would hope not. Let’s not forget what local, state, and federal law-enforcement agencies’ mission statements, goals and objectives express. Prosecutors are to seek justice—not convictions. For police, it’s about protecting and serving—keeping our communities safe and enforcing the law according to the Constitution. Today, the federal government is taking ethical, civil, business, and regulatory violations and transforming them into criminal conduct. Who have become the most “high value” targets for those prosecutors? Cops, politicians, CEOs, companies that the administration doesn’t like, and even fishermen and hunters. Years ago, when we personally worked for and with the feds, we could not seize your personal property until you were convicted of a crime and it was determined that the property was either used in the commission of a crime or purchased as a result of the commission of a crime. Today, our federal law enforcement seems little different from Russia or China. Once you become a target of the government—and sometimes even before—overzealous members of law enforcement seize your property and, whether you’re convicted or not, it is virtually impossible or too expensive to get your property back. That is not justice, and that’s not how it is supposed to be. For those law enforcement officers, executives, and organizations who think they are opposed to reforms, imagine yourself tomorrow as a target of the federal government. Suddenly, everything you’ve earned and your entire career is taken from you. If you think it cannot happen to you, think again. Look at the trends of prosecutorial overreach, over-criminalization, and the prosecutorial misconduct outlined in our books. If they can do it to Ted Stevens, a sitting United States Senator, and hundreds of others, they can do it to you. Prosecutors who deliberately hide evidence of innocence, suborn perjury, extort testimony, bludgeon false pleas, or manufacture evidence are violating the law, yet they are rarely held accountable in any way. They have absolute immunity from suit even for their intentional wrongs. The absolute immunity of prosecutors should be abolished, and as the Ninth Circuit once suggested, perjury prosecutions should be brought against prosecutors who violate their oath and the law. Donald Trump himself has been the target of an overzealous New York State Attorney General. AIG’s Hank Greenberg, Ken Langone, the founder and chairman of Home Depot, Dick Grasso, the former Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, and so many others have been targets of relentless and wrongful prosecutions. Venerable accounting firm Arthur Andersen LLP and its 85,000 jobs were destroyed—the wrongful conviction reversed later by the Supreme Court nine to nothing. No one can make up for the anxiety, stress, and expense that wrongful prosecutions create. Nor does anyone hold these prosecutors accountable. Imagine the toll it takes or Americans who don’t have the resources to fight such abuses. They are personally and professionally annihilated regardless of the validity of the prosecution. The Innocence Project has, for decades, been fighting for and obtaining the release of innocent people from prison. Many of them spent decades behind bars for crimes they did not commit—usually while the real criminals were on the streets committing additional crimes. In a free and democratic nation, there is no crime worse than a government’s tyranny. The abuse of the extraordinary power of federal prosecutors to wrongfully and intentionally deprive citizens of their liberty, freedom, and their very lives for political and personal gain is happening daily. It must stop. To borrow a line from the old movie Billy Jack: “When policemen [and prosecutors] break the law, then there isn’t any law.” Judge Kozinski, one of the most highly regarded, brilliant, and experienced judges in the country, has been sounding the alarm on these issues across the country. He penned the preface to the Georgetown Law Journal Annual Review of Criminal Procedure, in which he identified numerous myths in our criminal justice system and proposed a number of solutions. Judge Rakoff also has expressed grave concerns, recognizing that the force of the federal government brought to bear against the individual is so great that even the “innocent plead guilty.” Undoubtedly we should lock up the bad guys and make sure the bad people who do bad things pay for their crimes. However, the punishment needs to fit the crime—and we need to be smarter in the way we deal with all of it. Every taxpayer and public servant should support the economic benefits to law enforcement and citizens in general by fairer, smarter, more efficient and effective law enforcement. Texas, Ohio, and many other states prove that criminal justice reform works. This is too important to our nation as a whole and our humanity in general to let media pundits, special interest lobbyists, the massive prison industry, and fear-mongering media to derail the significant bi-partisan progress that’s already been made for criminal justice reform. Americans should demand that their lawmakers in Congress legislate criminal justice reform. The time to act is now. Enough with the talk. Bernard Kerik, the former New York City Correction and Police Commissioner, is Chairman & Founder of the American Coalition for Criminal Justice Reform (accjr.org). His most recent book is From Jailer to Jailed. Sidney Powell worked in the Department of Justice for 10 years, in three federal districts under nine United States Attorneys from both political parties. She is the author of LICENSED TO LIE: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice. | POLITICS |

8:40am Big Brother wakes up the house guests. Steve says they woke us up before 9am today. Vanessa asks but why? Steve says maybe we have the veto meeting coming up. Vanessa says yeah because its sunday. Are we not supposed to. Steve asks do you know what you’re doing? Vanessa jokingly says no, I’m going to flip a coin. Steve asks don’t tell me what you’re doing.. you know what you’re doing? Vanessa says yes. Steve says okay. Vanessa says I know why we have to do it soon. They want us to sit out side while I do it so then they could set up the comp. Steve asks for the next HOH? Vanessa says yes. Steve says I am getting so tired of this bullsh*t! I know some people would kill to be here but I am getting so tired of it. Its the same thing I said on day 3. Big Brother blocks the feeds.
When the feeds return – Vanessa is in the backyard. Steve and Vanessa lower the outside awnings. Vanessa asks did you talk to Johnny last night? Steve says no. I just congratulated him on winning the veto. Vanessa says you need to work on your relationship with him because you need to have his vote locked in. He is either doing a really good job of convincing me that Rockstars isn’t anything to worry about or he has no idea what he is going to do. He asked me straight up if we had a deal you and me and I said no. You realize he can’t know about that because if he does he will vote you out. I had to simultaneously not care who stays and who goes. Like it was a big decision we would make together. When in reality you know what I want, I just have to get him around to it. My biggest obstacle is .. I think he thought you would go and I would be the tie break. He needs to feel really comfortable that you will take him and that it is smarter to take you than them. Steve says will do. Steve and Vanessa head back to bed.
9:15am All the house guests are back to sleeping.

Dawg/Simon,
Who do you think Jmac should keep? As much as I do not want him to do what Vanessa wants, I think Steve is ultimately the better option for Jmac. Steve will always be more of a target for Liz, and no matter how betrayed Austin feels at the moment by Vanessa, he always goes back to her and tells her EVERYTHING. At least Steve doesn’t fully trust Vanessa, and I think his loyalties are more towards Jmac. Plus, Austin is just a really, really, annoying human being; not to mention that the freakin’ showmance needs to be broken up!

I secretly want Austin and Liz broken up for the simple fact I’m already going insane from lack of/no sleep the last 3 months and I don’t think I can stomach an other week and a half of them lip smacking in my ears. Johnny Mac should keep Steve for his game. You’re correct, Steve will always be a bigger target for Liz so its better to keep him around.

I’m hoping that Vanessa makes it clear to Johnny Mac that she wants Steve to stay and he snaps it off on her and votes off Steve.

Although Steve is a big BB fan, he has no mind of his own, Vanessa is a substitute mother figure, which is why he does what she says. He even said he was afraid of her, he should go.

| Devastated family of Brit teen who died of suspected ecstasy overdose deny she took the drug 05:00, 24 Sep 2015 By Chris Clements, Danielle McCallum, 18, died in intensive care at the Can Misses Hospital in Ibiza early on Tuesday morning Tragedy: Danielle McCallum's family deny she took ecstasy The devastated family of a teenage girl who has died of a suspected ecstasy overdose have hit back at claims she took the drug. Danielle McCallum, 18, died in intensive care at the Can Misses Hospital in Ibiza early on Tuesday morning. Hospital bosses say she died of “suspected MDMA consumption” but her family insist she had been ill since she suffered a fall four days earlier. Police have launched an investigation into whether Danielle had taken drugs. One of the teenager's friends had allegedly told officers she had taken MDMA a few days earlier. Daily Record Drugs denial: Danielle's family say she had had a fall four days before her tragic death Danielle's mum Tracy flew to the holiday island on Tuesday with her grandfather Andy McDonald. He told the Daily Record: “I am out in Ibiza with my stepdaughter just now and we are just back from the coroner’s office. “We’ve also spent all day at the British consulate. We won’t know for months what caused her death. “It’ll be four to six months before they get all the reports back.” He added: “Danielle wasn’t out all weekend because she fell on the Thursday night into Friday morning and damaged her back. “She didn’t leave the hotel again until she died in hospital. What has been said about drugs is a load of rubbish because we don’t know yet. “The police in San Antonio said they knew nothing about it. This story is everywhere now and my family are devastated.” Daily Record Tributes: Teenager Danielle McCallum from Greenock died in Ibiza but her family insist she didn't take drugs Another family member said Danielle had been lying in pain in her hotel since Friday morning. In the days before her death, the teenager joked about how she was enjoying her holiday but got lost by herself the night before. Last Thursday, she wrote that she was stranded without shoes and money and thought she was looking for a taxi home. In a spoof note-to-self style, she went on: “Nope you’re still in Ibiza, Danielle,” poignantly adding: “Can this get any worse?” READ MORE: Holidaying British teen dies from suspected ecstasy overdose in Ibiza tragedy Danielle was rushed to the hospital from a health clinic near the hotel where she was staying in the party resort of San Antonio. She was in a critical condition when she arrived and suffered heart failure shortly after being admitted. A hospital spokesman told STV: “I can confirm that an 18-year-old British girl died at 6am on Tuesday after being admitted to our hospital. Daily Record Tragic: Hospital bosses say teenager Danielle McCallum died of “suspected MDMA consumption” “She was brought here by ambulance from a private clinic and admitted to intensive care. “She died from a cardiac arrest. Doctors suspect drugs may have played a part in her death because of the symptoms she presented with.” A post-mortem has been carried out but tissue samples will be sent to a specialist lab in Barcelona for further analysis. Hospital and police sources said a friend of Danielle told police she had taken ecstasy during a night out on September 17 and had woken up on September 18 feeling unwell. They were not aware if she had sought any medical attention until a few hours before her death despite being ill over the weekend. One source said: “It may turn out she died from an adverse reaction to the drugs she’d consumed rather than because of the amount she took. “That is something that is still being investigated.” Tragic death: Police are investigating whether Danielle McCallum had taken drugs Civil Guard officers have already launched an investigation and will file a report to a judge tasked with a full judicial probe into the case. Friends and family have taken to social media to pay tribute to Danielle. One family member wrote: “Today has taught me to appreciate everything I have, got the best mates and family in the world. “Strongest people I know and a love every single one of them. What a horrible day.” Another wrote: “Devastated doesn’t even explain how I’m feeling right now. Just so empty inside. “Can’t wait to get to my bed, get my music on, go for a sleep and forget everything for a while.” Friend Hayley McLaughlan added: “So strange to think we sat and had a conversation about how buzzing you were to go on holiday a few weeks ago. Took far too soon.” A Foreign Office spokesman said: “We are in contact with local authorities in Ibiza following the death of a British national on September 22. “We have met with the family and will continue to provide support at this difficult time.

| Not to get all pretzel goldfish on you, but what does this MEAN, Cheez-It? Are they ready for what? Who’s testing these cheeses? Why are they all so vindictive? Is this some inside joke you have with one other person on the planet? Because we regularly buy Cheez-Its, I’ve been loosely following this half-assed campaign for awhile now. This is not some lead up to an unveiling of a new flavor or something. It’s some lazy static bullshit about my snack crackers and once again, I demand better.

| Last year, we discussed the silly defamation case brought by Andrew Rector, baseball fan(?), that ESPN's cameras showed to be sleeping(!) at a Red Sox v. Yankees game. The commentators on ESPN had some fun at Andrew's expense. Quite mild and tame fun, it should be noted. But several websites picked up where they left off, and some comments left on those websites were less than friendly to Rector. For this, Rector filed a $10 million defamation suit against ESPN and the commentators, John Kruk and Dan Shulman. It looked bad on the basis of both the law, as well as the ability of whoever filed the suit to use a spellchecker and basic logic. And now the courts have agreed, with a NYC judge dismissing the lawsuit. While Rector’s lawsuit alleged that he was subjected to an “unending verbal crusade” by the ESPN duo, the assorted putdowns referred to in the complaint actually appeared in the comment sections of online articles about Rector nodding off during the game. Two comments cited in the lawsuit referred to Rector as a “fatty cow that needs two seats” and a “confused disgusted and socially bankrupt individual.” In a decision issued last month, Judge Julia Rodriguez ruled that Shulman and Kruk made none of the nasty comments attributed to them in Rector’s complaint, adding that “none of the comments actually made by the announcers” was defamatory or false. Rodriguez added that, “At worst, the announcers’ comments might be considered to be loose, figurative or hyperbolic statements which are not actionable.” Which, you know, duh. The idea that a person might snooze in a public venue where a telecast is occurring and then get upset because third parties saw footage of him sleeping is a logical bungle to begin with, but adding the money-grab feel of a multi-million dollar defamation suit against people who never said the things the suer is upset about represents such twisted brain-pretzels that it's actually hard for me to think about. Not every offense is actionable, after all, and the civil courts are not the place to rectify embarrassment in this way. The nature of the claim in Rector's original filing probably didn't help his cause, either. Rector, a used car salesman, claimed in a court affidavit filed earlier this year that the ESPN broadcast--which he termed “bullying”--caused “enormous grief and embarrassment and affected my ability to work and go about my daily activity.” He added that, “people have avoided dealing with me. Insurance companies now consider me a high risk.” And he thought the best way to move past all of this supposed damage was to ensure his name remained in the spotlight with a lawsuit? C'mon, son. | ENTERTAINMENT |

| ‘We’re All Mexican’ Song Celebrates Hispanic Heritage MonthA cast of stars involved in the song “We’re all Mexican” (We are all Mexicans) which was filed Monday by the Cuban-American music producer Emilio Estefan.
The song was published on the occasion of Hispanic Heritage Month, a time when immigration and contributions of US Hispanics have become a matter of debate in the election campaign. “There’s a message being sent out to the world where people are giving opinions that are plain wrong,” the Cuban-American Estefan, who has won 19 Grammy awards, told Billboard earlier this month. “We need to lift up our pride and show the world what we’re doing.” In the recording participated superstars Wisin, Pitbul , Thalia, Wyclef Jean, Taboo (Black Eyed Peas), Gloria Estefan, Carlos Santana, Banda El Recodo, Carlos Vives, Angelica Maria, Angelica Vale, Black Dada, El Cata, Jencarlos Canela, Natalia Jimenez, Rita Moreno, Pepe Aguilar, Luis Coronel and Espinoza Paz. In addition, comedians also appear in the video as Kathy Griffin and Whoopi Goldberg ; actors Amaury Nolasco, Eva Longoria, Carlos Ponce, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias and Kate Del Castillo ; radio hosts Enrique Santos and El Tweety ; artist Romero Brito ; and chef José Andrés . The track ‘We’re All Mexican’ is currently not available for sale. Watch the video to “We’re All Mexican” here: Here is the English translation of the song “We’re All Mexican” We Are All Mexican, Mexican All We Are, We Are All Mexican, la la la la la la …

Fine pitch with the force of a submarine

Colombia reported, Tell your neighbor who does not finish
I will never bow down.
Sit back and have some beans
Friends do not kill the American Dream

| Add some crackle to your beauty regime with this mousse – it really does have a loud crackle when you apply the mousse to your legs and hips – it smoothes the skin and lifts it.
We loved the light pleasant scent and the fact it is easily absorbed and is non greasy. That'so Deep Body Lift Velvet Mousse £19.95 Amazon (Shop Now)
The first thing you will notice when he mousse hits your skin is the very loud crackle – we have used this for a week on thighs and hips and the skin is smoother and softer – using a specific toning cream or mousse does make you concentrate on an area . That'so says that the Body lifting mousse is for the body with instant and lasting lifting effect. A body treatment that acts on two levels: it unblocks and mobilises fat, reducing it gradually (Liporeductyl®) and makes the skin more compact, supple and firmer through the immediate tensor effect (Proteasyl®). The gold dust revitalises the skin and makes its firmer and more radiant. | FOOD & DRINK |

| S Club 7 member, model, singer and presenter Rachel Stevens went on a Tots to Travel holiday earlier this year, with husband Alex Bourne and daughters Minnie and Amelie. Staying at the gorgeous Villa Vista do Oceano in the Algarve, Rachel has written a lovely review of her trip…
“Like everyone, spending time together as a family is really important to us. Our working hours aren’t regular so whether it’s taking a couple of days in the UK or being able to go abroad, switching off as a family is one of our favourite things.
With little ones it always takes a lot of time to find the right place to suit everyone’s needs and I always find the organisation before hand is a bit more time consuming than it used to be when there were just two of us!
You worry about the little details like safety, will the hotel or villa be child friendly, will there be enough for the girls to do, what toys and things should we take with us to occupy them without packing the kitchen sink … I guess you learn as you go, but this year was refreshingly different!
We went to Portugal with Tots To Travel, who personally visit every single one of their properties to ensure that it meets their high standards to provide everything that you could need from toys and books, beach towels and plastic cups and beakers to the baby monitor, steriliser units and insured childcare facilities, including babysitters, which are available for parents!
Just packing our clothes this year (and a couple of the girls favourite teddies!), felt quite strange at first but it was amazing and a real luxury to know that everything else would be taken care of and by taking away the added baggage (literally), when we arrived we were able to settle straight in.
The villa we stayed at was beautiful and modern with a great pool and a lovely garden too with a slide and outdoor toys – something you don’t often get on holiday and we hired a car so that we could drive to the beach and supermarkets and explore the local area, stunning beaches and sample some of the beautiful restaurants.
One night we went for in-villa dining which was great! The chef came over to the villa with all of the equipment and ingredients and prepared us a gorgeous meal, complete with any dietary requirements we gave them.
Tots To Travel had thought of every little detail from making sure that our chosen foods were in the villa before we arrived, to providing everything you can think of that you need as a parent which made us relax so much quicker than normal. Everything we needed was right there and travelling light made such a difference – it was a real treat!”

| As Dan Gardner points out, Stephen Harper is continuing to misrepresent the nature of Canada's system of government. But he's nonetheless made a noteworthy concession in doing so:
PM: HERE'S THE QUESTION THOUGH. UM IS IT A CORRECT ASSUMPTION TO MAKE THAT WHICHEVER PARTY ENDS UP, IF WE'RE IN A MINORITY SITUATION, WHICHEVER PARTY ENDS UP WITH THE MOST SEATS SHOULD FORM THE GOVERNMENT?
SH: Yeah that's my – that's I think how conventionally our system works and for good reason and that's – that's my position. Obviously our view is we're going to win and we're going to win strong. Ah but ah my position has always been if we win the most seats I will expect to form the government and if we don't, I won't.
PM: SO EVEN AS THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT, IS YOU'RE JUST A COUPLE OF SEATS BEHIND, YOU WOULDN'T TRY TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO –
SH: No. No.
PM: YOU WOULD RESIGN.
SH: Yeah. Well I would not serve as prime minister. No I think you – you have to have the most seats in Parliament to go to the governor general and that's – you know, in this country in our system, we have what's called a Westminster style system, um and we don't – we don't, you know, elect a bunch of parties who then as in some countries, get together and decide who will – who will govern. We ask people to make a choice of a government. And so I think that the party that wins the most seats should form the government. Now, the Cons have a history of turning their campaign promises into something far short of enforceable commitments once it counts. And so I'd still be concerned about the prospect of Harper trying to move the goalposts if it suits his interests.
But Harper seems to have conceded publicly that the range of interpretations as to what happens if no party holds a majority involves only a contest as to the relative importance of the ability to win a majority in the House of Commons as compared to a party's claim to a plurality of seats - suggesting that he at least isn't willing to defend the other mechanisms he could use to cling to power no matter how resounding an election defeat. And while it hopefully won't be necessary to point back to that acknowledgement, Harper's public position now should make it clear to the Governor General and the public that Harper would have no legitimacy whatsoever if he tries to reverse course later. | POLITICS |

| Published: 07:00 CEST 17-09-2015 /GlobeNewswire /Source: MDxHealth (R) / : MDXH /ISIN: BE0003844611 MDxHealth's ConfirmMDx Covered by Tufts Health Plan IRVINE, CA, and HERSTAL, BELGIUM - September 17, 2015 - MDxHealth SA (Euronext: MDXH.BR) announced that it has signed an agreement with Tufts Health Plan for their government and commercial programs/products. The agreement provides access to ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer testing for Tufts Health Plan's 1 million members. Tufts Health Plan collaborates closely to develop its programs with the clinical professionals of Tufts Medical Center. As part of their world-class academic medical center, Tufts offers members the choice of top-ranked care, world-renowned innovation and the highest quality community providers, which it refers to as an "integrated delivery and financing system." "MDxHealth is pleased to provide ConfirmMDx testing to Tufts' members, helping to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care," said Dr. Jan Groen CEO of MDxHealth. "This agreement enables streamlined claims adjudication and reimbursement for the ConfirmMDx test on all eligible patients." About Tufts Health Plan Founded in 1979, Tufts Health Plan is nationally recognized for its commitment to providing innovative, high-quality health care coverage. Touching the lives of more than one million members, Tufts Health Plan serves members in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire, offering health care coverage regardless of age or circumstance. About ConfirmMDx® for Prostate Cancer Over 975,000 American men are diagnosed with a negative prostate biopsy each year; however approximately 25-35% of those men receive false-negative results. Under the current standard of care, prostate biopsy procedures consisting of 10-12 needle biopsy cores only sample approximately 1% of a man's prostate. This approach leaves men at risk of undetected cancer, leading to a high rate of repeat biopsies, even on cancer-free men. There is an unmet medical need for a clinically effective diagnostic test to address this dilemma. ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer is able to detect an epigenetic field effect or "halo" associated with the cancerization process at the DNA level. This "halo" around a cancer lesion can be present despite cells having a normal appearance under the microscope. Thus ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer aids urologists in identifying truly negative men who may forego an unnecessary repeat biopsy procedure. Performance of the proprietary ConfirmMDx genes and technology has been published in 45 studies on over 5,000 patients tested. The ConfirmMDx test has qualified for Medicare reimbursement as of November 3, 2014 and is also available to more than 152 million insured lives via private health insurance plans. About MDxHealth MDxHealth is a multinational healthcare company that provides actionable epigenetic information to personalize the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The company's tests are based on proprietary gene methylation (epigenetic) technology and assist physicians with the diagnosis of cancer, prognosis of recurrence risk, and prediction of response to a specific therapy.

| After our visit to Bodnant Garden, and a day at Surf Snowdonia, we drove to Welshpool for the afternoon and then headed off to a field in the middle of nowhere near Llanfair Caereinion to meet some geocachers at a geocaching event. Now, we’ve said it before, but caching events aren’t really our thing. We went to a sandcastle building one last year just so that we could get the final souvenir of the summer, and we planned to go to this one for the same reason. It was the only one we could find that was less than a few hours drive away from home, and it seemed like a low-key affair anyway. That’s exactly what it was, just some local cachers getting together around a campfire to exchange stories and enjoy some snacks. We stayed for a couple of hours and meet some nice people, had a chat and some refreshments but then headed off as it got dark, leaving the others to it. Camp Fire Cache Logging Event Caching We did at least manage to log an event cache and therefore gain our ‘Meet the Road Trip Crew’ souvenir. Just a puzzle cache to go now so that we can log all of the souvenirs of summer. Road Trip Crew Souvenir | OTHERS |

| The arrival of Indian tourists into Bhutan without going through local tour agents, known as informal tourism, has become a major problem for the country’s tourism sector.
This was one of the issues Bhutanese tour operators raised with their counterparts from India during the Bhutan-India Tourism Conclave in Thimphu recently.
Bhutanese tour operators said the increasing number of Indian tourists coming in informally has resulted in poor service and unfortunate incidents such as the drowning incident in Mebartsho, Bumthang in 2013.
Such experiences, tourism officials said could be avoided if Indian tourists came through tour agents and hire local guides.
Comprising 51 percent of the total tourist arrivals, India is the single largest tourist market for Bhutan in terms of number. Last year, Bhutan received 133,000 tourists in total, out of which 68,000 were Indians.
The upcoming visit of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to Bhutan next month is expected to boost tourist arrivals from the state, tourism officials said.
Tour operators also said it was difficult to provide quality service and security in Bhutan if Indian tourists do not come through formal channels.
President of Bhutan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI), Ugen Tshechup Dorji, said the informal tourism sector has to be streamlined to provide the best of services. “One of the ways to make tourists come back to Bhutan again and again is by giving them good experience through quality service,” he said.
He also said it was important for Bhutan to harness the potential of tourism market in India, one of the largest economies in the world. “So far, we have never looked next door (India), where there is a huge potential,” he said.
However, Ugen Tshechup Dorji also said there was a need to create adequate awareness on Bhutan as a tourist destination for potential Indian tourists. He said Bhutan was better known in Europe than in India.
The Indian tour operators said that today more Indian tourists fly into Bhutan, supporting the country’s high-end tourism policy. He said many Indian tourists are now paying more than Nu 10,000 a night and stay in hotels like the Le Meriden and Terma Linka.
While some participants from India said airfares should be cheaper to encourage Indian customers to use flights, others asked for Indian chefs in hotels.
Speaking at the seminar, labour minister Ngeema Sangay Tshempo said tourists are encouraged to hire guides and come through local tour agents. “We treat tourists as our guests and they should not be left on their own,” he said, adding that the government encourages guided tourists.
The minister said the government was looking at taking tourists to eastern and southern Bhutan to avoid over-crowding in west and central dzongkhags.

| metro.co.uk Here's something new about Zayn Malik!
The former One Direction's singer (who's 22 now) has been single and ready to mingle since August, the time he broke up with his fiancee Perrie Edwards, so now, he's heading a new whole direction, and that's Lily Allen's direction! (She's 30, by the way)
According to The Sun, Zayn has been dirty texting with Lily, including the use of images... the dirty type too! Apparently they have been constantly talking and texting since a long time ago and he has his eyes on her since they first met at Brit Awards last year.
A very close source said "Zayn fancies Lily and has made that very clear" and "He has even sent her X-rated pics and raunchy texts which Lily has told quite a few people in her close circle about. She's flattered".
Funny thing is, Lily is still married to Sam Cooper, but we heard their marriage is in tatters.
We would very well be facing a new couple if Lily was interested, but she's not. Zayn has to turn his attention to someone else,.. Perhaps someone who's not married!!
Come on Zayn, people say "there is a lot of fish in the sea", so perhaps you should just go with the flow and start dating! I know that plenty of fans would be delighted, right?
Would you date Zayn, even for one single night?

| Ever since it was revealed that former TFI Friday star, Chris Evans, was to take over from Jeremy Clarkson as Top Gear host, everyone has wondered just who he would bring in to co-host the show with him.
Top Gear is renowned for being a three-man show, and of course, it previously had Clarkson at the helm with Richard Hammond and James May in tow, but when Clarkson was sacked earlier this year over a fracas with one of the show’s producers, both his co-hosts jumped ship with him, leaving two vacant positions on the show.
Since then, the nation has been trying to work out who would be getting the jobs, and particularly after the BBC announced that they would be holding open auditions for at least one of the vacant positions.
And now it would seem, despite most money being on Jodie Kidd and Jenson Button landing the gigs, that both jobs are to be offered to fans of the show, with The Stig being given the job of picking who the roles will go to.
The Daily Star newspaper reports that the iconic and mysterious character, known by viewers of the show as the masked man to beat on laps, will be the one to go through all the videos sent in from hopeful applicants, with the task of picking the ones he believes would have the most chemistry on-screen with HIM.
The publications quotes a BBC spokesman as saying: “We’re currently whittling down a shortlist to meet The Stig.”
Of course, this has raised eyebrows, with many believing that this is purely a PR stunt, but new host Chris Evans insists this is not the case, commenting:
“This is not a gimmick. This is real.”
Meanwhile, Richard Hammond has opened up about his new project…
Fans will know that whilst the BBC went on the hunt for a new Top Gear presenting team, Amazon snapped up the original hosts, Clarkson, Hammond and May, for a Top Gear rival show on the on-demand streaming channel.
As we have previously reported, what sealed the deal for the three presenters was the promise of no interference from the network and an almighty budget for them to go and play with, and from the sounds of it, they are already making big plans to do just that.
The Week quotes Hammond as revealing:
“We will reinvent, do new stuff, and that’s as invigorating as it gets. So what a fantastic challenge.”
On the subject of the terms of the contract, Hammond confirmed that Amazon would not be interfering in proceedings, which he feels will make the experience more liberating, adding that he is “at peace” with his new surroundings.
Of how the three men are reconnecting over the new show, Hammond revealed:
“This year, we’ve probably spent more time all of us together than ever we have.”
When asked if he thought that the experience had brought the trio closer together, Hammond mused:
“I suppose so. And that’s good…
“We’re on the best footing we’ve ever been to go ahead now and do what we do best.”
We can’t wait!

| NEWS Peanut Exec May Face Sentence of 803 Years for Salmonella Outbreak SUSANNA KIM Monday, September 21, 2015 01:28PM Stewart Parnell, a former peanut executive convicted of knowingly shipping salmonella-tainted peanut butter, is in court today for his sentencing hearing and faces a possible 803 years in prison.
Parnell, 61, is the former owner of the Peanut Corporation of America. He was convicted by a federal jury in September of last year of shipping the tainted peanut butter from a plant in Blakely, Georgia, to food producer Kellogg and other companies. The salmonella outbreak that started in early 2009 killed nine people and sickened 714 people in 46 states, according to health officials.
Before the court proceedings began today, Parnell's attorney Ken Hodges told ABC News that the possible life sentence "would not serve any purpose and that we hope the judge will take into account that Stewart is a good man who never intended to hurt anyone."
"He ate the product and fed it to his children and grandchildren," Hodges said.
On Friday in U.S. District Court in Albany, Georgia, Judge W. Louis Sands said Parnell faces a possible prison sentence of 9,636 months, or 803 years. He was found guilty of 70 felony counts. Parnell and his brother, Michael, a food broker, were found guilty of faking results of lab tests that screen for salmonella. His brother faces 19 to 24 years in prison. The plant's quality control manager, Mary Wilkerson, faces five years after she was convicted of obstruction of justice.
Victims and families of victims of the outbreak are expected to provide impact statements to the court. Among the victims in court are Peter Hurley and his son, Jake. Jake was infected with salmonella in January 2009, when he was 3 years old, after eating Austin Toasty Crackers with Peanut Butter, manufactured by Kellogg. Last year, the pair testified at a congressional hearing for the Peanut Corporation of America about food safety.
Shirley Almer is another victim who became sick after eating a peanut butter snack just a few days before Christmas 2008, when she was recovering from cancer, authorities said. She later died. Today, her son Jeff is in the courthouse.

| Throughout the past month, GTA V tipsters and dataminers have been uncovering ‘clues’ to new content. Various GTA prophets have predicted everything from new characters and vehicles to a story DLC and, unfortunately, none of these predictions have panned out as yet. The last big update came and went and, while there was a lot of cool stuff, pretty much none of it bore out the speculation. It’s important to note, however, that Rockstar does in fact listen to its community, posting and responding to comments on the various GTA threads and forums, and this makes sense. Initial reviews of the game commented on the fact that the GTA V experience was very much built on responses to the previous instalments of the game. And it seems that Rockstar have continued this habit of listening to the fans into the wildly successful GTA online universe.
Everything from new cars and characters to new story have been rumored
It seems that Rockstar have heard the constant buzz about some of these long predicted updates. The iDigital Times reports that prominent GTA tipster, DomisLive, has found a piece of game code hidden amongst the last batch of freemode updates.
“0xCED5A615 = Start your day like a pro: play 8 hours of Casino blackjack with your remortgager and divorce attorney. Then wash it all down with a time trial through North LS to a Vinehood Hills mansion you’ll never own.”
DomisLive, however, seems to have been bitten too many times to turn this into a solid prediction. During the video, he laughingly wonders if the inclusion could be Rockstar trolling the community in response to the slew of rumors surrounding the Casino and Mansion DLCs. Files discovered in the lead up to the ‘Ill Gotten Gains’ DLC started up the rumors about mansions in GTA V . Based on some admittedly rather flimsy evidence, it was speculated that a new slew of mansions would be introduced as a feature for the wealthier citizens of GTA’ s online community. These rumors were based on some fairly ambiguous file names and the title of June’s DLC. Unfortunately, there really wasn’t more to them than that and, on the mansion front, this is the first real development since June.
It’s long been rumored that mansions are coming for GTA’s wealthier players
The casino rumors seem to be based on a firmer foundation of reality, if only because Los Santos has a shuttered and boarded casino that has been sitting idle for years. The building is a GTA landmark, elaborately constructed and prominent within the game’s landscape. As well as this, billboards in the single player version appear to advertise its imminent opening or re-opening, and the casino is advertised in-game from time to time. It’s difficult to believe that Rockstar built this edifice without having any intention of ever using it. But then, gamers should be accustomed to broken starts like this is open world games. Bethesda fans, for example, should be familiar with the pattern of broken or unfinished quest events littering a still-developing sandpit. This being one of the most ambitious open worlds run by Rockstar yet, it’s not inconceivable that the casino is nothing but an example of overreach – perhaps a foundation for an abandoned or indefinitely delayed single player DLC.
But we don’t want to depress you. Since June, the entire GTA community has been talking very loudly and at great length about the casino and the possibility of a DLC related to it, with tipsters like MrBossFTW and FunMW2 leading the pack. Here’s one of the original rumor videos to refresh your memory.
Now it seems that Rockstar has heard them. The new game code, whatever else it might or might not be, is a direct acknowledgement of the demand for these two packs. At this stage, however, that’s all we know. Of course Rockstar will want to do something with one of Los Santos’ most prominent buildings, but at this stage it’s still impossible to say when that will happen.

| The fight to keep a democracy from turning into a theocracy has to start with the people who have the money and want a theocracy to further control the masses. Jerry Falwell Liberty University donated $639,520.749 to a political action committee, America Family Association’s Donald Wildmon donated $17,955.438, Pat Robertson’s Christian Regent University $487,152.266, Beverly and Tim LaHaye’s Concerned Women for America gave $15,062.805, Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council gave $14,255, 533, James Dobson’s Focus on the Family donated $92,316,686, Ralph Reed’s Faith and Freedom Coalition gave $3, 375, 131, Jay Sekulow’s American Center for Law and Justice donated $57,731,904, Tim LaHaye’s Council for National Policy gave $2,169,909, Ed Meese’s Alliance Defending Freedom gave $47,687, 860. These people want to control your life. They are anti-union. They want religious school vouchers, which degrade the public school system, and religion taught in public schools. They are against gay marriage. They want to con people out of their money, yet keep their tax exempt status. They blur the line between separation of church and state by pulpit-based electioneering, which is a violation of federal laws. These religious leaders corrupt the true mission of faith communities when they rail against the wage slaves, and they should lose their tax exempt status and should be paying taxes on their mansions and jets. They call for religious freedom, but they foster discrimination against some people and allow one group to control the private affairs of others. They also attack reproductive freedom and LGBT rights. These people and their money will support the GOP anti-union, anti-workers under the guise of this is what God wants or God tells them. Do you really think God would want this? This same type of people are worldwide, in fact, some of these people are in Africa with their anti-gay/LGBT crap and ISIS destroying people lives and mankind's history. These people have no place in elections other than voting alongside everyone else. These parasites need to be reined in. If you look at the dummying down of our society, you will see the role these people have played in brain washing people into voting against their best interests, revile unions and donate money to them they can ill afford. Having the people uneducated and trusting is how these people swindle their money. Where in the bible does it say the preacher should live in mansions, have private jets and expensive vehicles. It says the opposite, as a matter of fact. Educate yourself and be prepared to vote. The primaries are right around the corner. | POLITICS |

| Telecommunications provider Optus has announced that its 4G+ network, combining one frequency-division duplex (FDD) and two time-division duplex (TDD) LTE spectrum bands, is now live in the Melbourne CBD.
The news follows the telco last month partnering with Chinese tech giant Huawei to switch on its 4G+ carrier aggregation network in Newcastle suburbs Lambton, Mayfield, and Mayfield West, with plans to launch in the Sydney CBD in early 2016, and in Brisbane and Adelaide from mid-2016.
Latest Australian news Optus, Exetel sign two-year NBN aggregation deal NBN fires back: Fixed wireless, satellite affordable and accessible in remote Australia Alcidion locks in five-year AU$1.75m contract with NT Department of Health Myer to invest AU$600 million on data-driven New Myer strategy NBN under fire for affordability, accessibility The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5, launched in August, were the first Category 9 devices commercially available in Australia. Once used across Optus' 4G+ carrier aggregation, the speeds will be faster than those attained on traditional 4G, with the telco having achieved download speeds of 317Mbps during a trial in Newcastle.
"Optus customers with a compatible Category 9 device can expect faster downloads while wandering through Federation Square, enjoying a feed in Flinders Lane, or relaxing at Flagstaff Gardens," Ben White, VP of mobile marketing at Optus, said on Thursday.
"With even more Category 9 devices on the way, we will roll out more upgrades across the Optus 4G Plus network so that our customers can take full advantage of the latest technology."
The growing popularity of 4G usage saw Optus last month announce plans to shut down its 2G network from April 2017 to shift its customers onto the 3G and 4G networks.
"Greater smartphone usage and advances in 4G technology are driving customer preferences for more mobile data and faster speeds, and there has been a steady decline in 2G traffic and customers in the last few years," said Dennis Wong, acting managing director of Optus Networks, in early August. The transition from traditional calling to the use of data marks a trend in the increasing usage of communications apps including Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, spurring Optus' entry to the market through a Wi-Fi calling app. "I think you've seen us starting to move away from being very mobile focused to one that is about integrating communications and entertainment for customers, regardless of where they are," Optus CEO Allen Lew said in April.
Rival telco Telstra has similarly announced that Samsung's new devices will work across the 700MHz, 1800MHz, and 2600MHz spectrum bands in use by the carrier to achieve download speeds of up to 450Mbps.
"Both Samsung devices will be 4GX (Cat 9) compatible, and are capable of the fastest 4G speeds in Australia in selected 4GX areas. They're primed to support our customers' ever-expanding love of apps, music streaming, and the growth in mobile video," Mike Wright, group managing director for Telstra Networks, wrote in a blog post.
Telstra added that it would release a Netgear Category 9 mobile broadband Wi-Fi device by the end of the year.
"The battery-powered mobile hotspot from Netgear can operate continuously for up to 11 hours, supports a data usage meter, and can share a 4G connection with up to 10 devices simultaneously, making it possible to enjoy the performance benefits of our up-rated network performance on existing Wi-Fi enabled tablets, laptops, and smartphones," Wright said.
Optus Wholesale on Wednesday announced that it had signed an exclusive two-year deal to deliver its National Broadband Network (NBN) aggregation services to broadband provider Exetel. "Through our relationship, we are able to provide Exetel with a platform to market nationally. We see Exetel as a key partner and look forward to a continued relationship with them," Optus Wholesale satellite and SMB managing director Rob Parcell said.
The deal will see Exetel gain access to Optus' NBN points of interconnect to provide residential broadband services at a lower cost by using existing backhaul.
"We look forward to working with Optus as they help us keep our NBN pricing amongst the most competitive in the market," Exetel CEO Richard Purdy said.
Last week, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) granted final approval for the revised agreement covering the transition of Optus' hybrid fibre-coaxial (HFC) customers onto the fixed-line NBN, and the progressive acquisition and integration of parts of the telco's network with the NBN.
Optus recently published its results for the quarter ending June 2015, reporting an increase in net profit of 19.5 percent, from AU$164 million last year to AU$196 million this year on revenues of AU2.3 billion, citing 4G mobile data uptake as its driving force.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) grew by 7.3 percent for the quarter, from AU$597 million in the three months to June last year, to AU$641 million this year.
Optus also noted that its current national 4G network covers 90 percent of the population. "Since the beginning of 2015, we have switched on 700MHz spectrum at 2,400 metropolitan and regional sites," Lew said.
"Over the coming year, Optus will continue this important investment program so that more Australians can have access to reliable, super-fast 4G mobile services in more places." | SCIENCE & TECH |

| Cuisine: Thai Food Map: Khao Jao Restaurant and Cafe @ Thonglor 17, Bangkok - ร้านอาหาร ข้าวจ้าว @ ซอยทองหล่อ 17 กรุงเทพฯ Charged Price: THB150 per person without alcohol Visited: 31 May 2015 Food: 5/10 Atmosphere: 5/10 Value for money: 6/10 Services: 3/10
Scale: [1=poor ---- 5=average/standard ---- 10=outstanding/exceptional]
Hidden in Soi Thonglor 17 which is the soi next to J-Avenue, there is a pretty decent Thai restaurant at reasonable price: Khao Jao. You can rarely find any reasonable priced restaurant these days in Thonglor. But here is another one left. Khao Jao serves variety of Thai food in an easy and comfy atmosphere. In my opinion, it is excellent for weekend family meal or else a casual chitchatting with friends. The only thing you might have to ignore here is the service. Don't expect much about it.
Khao Jao Restaurant and Cafe @ Thonglor 17, Bangkok minimal dining room with large glass windows classic dining room in minimalist style As said pricing here is reasonable. Local beverage range is also great here. Most of them are priced at THB35 a glass which is like the price on streets.
For us, we started with Fried Egg Radish - ไชโปล้ผัดไข่ (4/10), Wings Bean Spicy Salad - ยำถั่วพลู (5/10), Spicy Salted Gourami with Thai Salad - ยำปลาสลิด (4/10). Fried egg radish was ok. There were a little too much of radish comparing to egg. Some may like it but it is just not balance for me. Wings bean spicy salad and spicy salted gourami with Thai salad on the other hand were too soaky though the taste was already ok with balancing flavour and not overwhelming of spiciness.
Fried Egg Radish - ไชโปล้ผัดไข่ (THB70) Wings Bean Spicy Salad - ยำถั่วพลู (THB80) Spicy Salted Gourami with Thai Salad - ยำปลาสลิด (THB120) Moving on to more serious dishes, Preserved Egg Fried Basil - ผัดกระเพราไข่เยี่ยวม้า (6/10) and Salt Roasted Chicken with Lemon Grass - ไก่คั่วตะไคร้ (5/10) were ordered. The preserved egg fried basil was nice with lovely aroma of basil and chewy yummy texture of preserved egg. Love it. The salt roasted chicken with lemon grass should be a dish for those who like mild flavour food. I believe foreigners and travellers will enjoy this dish. Lastly, we ended the meal with Grass Jelly in Milk - เฉาก๊วยนมสด (5/10). This is a standard dessert indeed. The jelly texture with distinct touch of grass jelly went fabulously with milk and brown sugar. Refreshing of course.
In brief, Khao Jao deserves a visit when you feel like a comfy meal around Thonglor. No formality and no pressure here. Just enjoy it in the way you like.

| There are many reasons my journal is important to me: first and foremost TO HELP ME REMEMBER!!!! I try to write every day, and actually in my one journal I have written every day since January 1st--I have done it in conjunction with the Book of Mormon 365 reading. I try to write my answers to the questions that are posted with the reading, and it has been a great thing for me. Quite often it seems I can only get that done, and not all the writing about everything else going on in our lives. And believe me there has been lots going on.
I started training for this year of online Seminary. There were some major changes that required a lot of work, but we are into our 4th week of classes and things are running--not smoothly, but they are running. Unfortunately there have been some major glitches. I am hopeful they will get ironed out.
Allan was called to be a counsellor to the Mission President in our mission, and I have been called as a Service Missionary. It has been different for me. I love writing talks (because I always learn so much), but there have been a lot of talks for me to give--at least more than I usually give in a year, and we've only been serving for almost 2 months. There have been some great experiences. We love our Mission President and his wife, and our senior couples are all fabulous. Allan has been asked to work specifically with the District, which is about 4 - 6 hours away. So we usually head out of town on Saturday afternoon so we don't have to leave home at 4 in the morning to get to Church on time! One of the highlights for me is we get to see some of my Seminary students who live in the District. Most of the time when we go to visit a unit we have a chance to on Saturday night to have dinner with the missionaries serving there. That is a real treat.
Also we recently had a chance to attend a Winnipeg Zone Conference with the missionaries in this area and a visiting authority. It was wonderful.
I could go on and on about the things we are enjoying about this calling. We get to visit with the new missionaries when they come in to the Mission, and I have loved being with the ones who are getting ready to go home--especially those who I remember when they first came out. It is so amazing to see the growth and be there when they bear their testimonies that last time as a missionary.
We continue to serve in the temple, and we love doing that. Our current temple President and his wife will be released in November--we have loved spending time with them. He was the Stake President in our adjoining Stake so we knew them pretty well. Our former Mission President from 6 years ago will be the new Temple President. We love them and will enjoy seeing them on a more regular basis.
I don't think I wrote about the wonderful opportunity I had to meet up with a couple of my cousins back in August. We connected on Ancestry and when I found out they would be in South Dakota for a wedding I suggested to Allan that we drive there to see them. It worked out GREAT, and it was so fun to connect. SIDENOTE: Allan will not be going down to General Conference. I am glad he will be home, but I am sad he will not be there with our 3 kids who are there, and 1 of our grandchildren who is going in for his mission reunion. It will definitely be an historic conference. (I will certainly miss Elder Perry, Elder Packer, and Elder Scott!!!!) | ENTERTAINMENT |

| “Everywhere I go I see an American flag. I don’t understand that. You hardly ever see a British flag flying anyplace in the UK.”
That from a member of my writers group, a transplanted Brit, in this country now for ten years or so. Sorry to say, it took my aging brain a few hours to compose a response. But now I have and here it is:
We Americans are proud of our flag. It is a symbol of the war our forefathers came together to fight in order to free themselves from the “colonizing” that the English at that time were imposing on countries all around the world. Our ancestors refused to yield; they fought back … and won!
As children we were taught to honor our flag. In the elementary school I attended there was always an American flag at the front of the class room and every morning we stood, put our hands over our hearts and recited together:
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands; one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” *
Then as a member of the Campfire Girls I was taught flag etiquette, including how to fold it properly, never to let it touch the ground, and not to fly it in the rain. In short – to treat our flag with respect.
At summer camp we started each day with the ceremonious raising of the flag and closed it solemnly with the lowering of those Stars and Stripes at sunset. Standing in a circle at the foot of the flag pole we sang “God Bless America” or “My Country ’tis of Thee”. Thus the seeds of love for our flag and its meaning were planted in our young hearts; just one of the reasons I fly the flag today.
When I became an adult I married a Marine who fought in the South Pacific toward the end of WWII. He chose to make the Marine Corps his career after attending college and receiving his commission as a 2 nd Lieutenant. On bases where we lived, when the main flag was raised or lowered, any Marine in sight stopped, stood at attention, and saluted. It is the symbol of why they serve and what they fight for.
An American flag graces the top of soldiers’ coffins and is folded and then presented reverently to the next-of-kin at their funeral; a sad but proud emblem of their service to the country. I fly a flag to honor my husband’s service as well as the service of all military personnel.
I’m proud that as Americans we have stepped in to stop the aggression of nations like Germany and Japan, North Korea, North Vietnam and others. We don’t go to those places with the goal of flying our flag victoriously over the victim countries but to ensure the freedom of their people to fly their own flag.
Shortly after the horrific events of 9-11, I had occasion to drive from my home in Virginia to Memphis, TN. Hardly a minute passed on that busy interstate that the Stars and Stripes were not visible; in or on cars and trucks, at rest stops, in the distance at homes and businesses in towns large and small. All Americans were flying our flag that day, it seemed.
What was the message we were sending to each other and to the terrorists? I think it was the same thing we said to the British all those years ago – “We’re not yielding, we are together, and we will fight back.”
I hope this brief explanation of why will answer the puzzlement so plain on my British friend’s face when I told her, simply … “I fly the flag.”

| “We still have that passion; we still have that drive, that interest. Like I said, we will continue touring till we can’t afford the fuel on the tour bus.” Eddie Jackson on Queensrӱche still touring.
Amidst the slowly settling cloud of drama from their change of front men, QUEENSRΫCHE is still producing some of the best progressive Hard Rock out there! They helped forge a path for what we consider the modern ideal of how bands in this genre should write songs. Complex and dreamlike should be used as terms in describing their lyrical prowess. One thing is for sure, even after 30 plus years and 30 million albums sold world wide, they show no signs of letting “anyone” or anything get in their way.
Queensrӱche is releasing their newest album “Condition Hϋman” this October 2nd via Century Media and produced by legendary producer Chris “Zeuss” Harris from the Massachusetts based Planet Z Recording. They are currently finishing up as direct support for part of the 50th Anniversary Scorpions tour and if that wasn’t enough, they will soon be off to start their own headlining tour along with an appearance on the Monsters of Rock Cruise soon thereafter.
I had chance to catch up with founding member and bassist Eddie Jackson back stage at their Boston stop while out with the Scorpions to talk about the new album, crazy weather, old lead singer drama and chaotic rock cruises. Take a listen to the interview, grab their new album and go see them when they are playing a show near you. You won’t be disappointed!

| Editor's Note from Barbara Sheppard Lang: Our Junior High classmate, Warren Olson, had a multitude of unique experiences throughout his many years of participation in musical groups, well beyond Junior High in Valley City, ND. He recently came across a photo of a quartet he was part of while he was stationed at White Sands Testing Grounds and living in El Paso, TX. The quartet was called the "Bordertown Barnstormers." (three of the members were pilots). Warren is pictured third from the left in the photo below. Pretty snazzy outfits under those Bomber jackets!
The Bordertown Barnstormers with General of the Army Omar N. Bradley on November 11, 1980. Pictured l-r: David Carmichael, Tenor - Don Topliff, Lead - Warren Olson, Bass - John Eby, Baritone.
Click on picture for larger image. Warren writes:
"We were first exposed to General of the Army (5-Star) Omar Bradley after he and his second wife Kitty had attended one of our men's chorus groups (Border Chorders) shows in the El Paso Civic Center. Because of that, we began receiving invites to sing for him in small groups... he enjoyed being entertained, even at his advanced age. "Soon, our quartet was invited to sing in Bradley's home at Ft. Bliss, particularly for Veteran's Day celebrations and for Omar's birthday. I was always intrigued with the many large filing cabinets throughout his quarters, and probably some safes as well!
"Over time, we became his favorite quartet! The General visited us at White Sands Testing Grounds occasionally. He loved getting caught up with our studies and war-games.When finished, he'd board his Huey and fly up into the Sacramento Mountains to fly fish in his wheelchair before heading back to Ft. Bliss. I was never privileged to hear many of his stories, but "The Soldier's General" must have had volumes of those stories, to include Ike's dealings with Patton. Gen. Bradley had consulted on the movie "Patton" and other films, and his wife Kitty was a screenwriter. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Bradley.
"At his 88th birthday party (on February 12, 1981), Bradley was clearly nearing the end of his life, but he called in the photographer, still knew our names, and autographed a photo for each of us. He was a class act. To the very end he loved singing and was a very gracious host. It was delightful being around him. He died on April 9th, 1981 in his wheelchair while going up the elevator to his suite one day at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, shortly after receiving an honor. We were all saddened to hear that our last Five-Star General and friend had finally succumbed." Contributed by Warren Olson - THANKS to Warren and Barb from your Blogmeister!
Paperweight given to Warren and other members of the singing group commemorating General Bradley''s birthday. | CULTURE & ARTS |

| Study: Twice as much trash put in landfills than estimated
Associated Press
September 22, 2015 12:01 AM Associated Press
September 22, 2015 12:01 AM WASHINGTON -- Americans are sending more than twice as much trash to landfills as the federal government has estimated, according to a new study.
On average America tosses 5 pounds of trash per person per day into its landfills, according to an analysis of figures from the same study, which is based on actual landfill measurements instead of government estimates.
For years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency relied on estimates to determine how much trash was being sent to landfills. But in 2010, the agency required most municipal landfills to measure and report how much trash was heading into the dumps, as part of an effort to lower heat-trapping methane emissions. Researchers at Yale University looked at records for more than 1,200 landfills and calculated amounts, predominantly based on weights.
They figured it was 289 million tons in 2012, according to a study published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change. For the same year, EPA estimated the figure to be 135 million tons.
The Yale team calculated that in 2013, waste sent to landfills rose to 294 million tons. With 316 million people, that comes to 1,871 pounds per person in that year.
Jon Powell at Yale's Center for Industrial Ecology said the amount is different because of the way his team calculated it: Adding up actual measurements instead of estimates based on what businesses told government indirectly. The EPA partially funded the study.
Three outside experts said they trust the Yale numbers more than the EPA's. However, Thomas Kinnaman, a Bucknell University professor who studies the economics of solid waste and recycling, added the findings don't matter much, because landfills have plenty of room to expand.

| September 28, 2015 No, that puppy is not free.
The sign may say “free,” and that mutt may be absolutely adorable and will give you years of love and devotion and pleasure, but that puppy is definitely not free. You’re not going to listen to me anyway, are you? You’re going to listen to your pleading, tearful 6-year old who definitely wants that puppy and has already named her Sparkles. Fine, go ahead. But you’ve been warned.
You’re going to open up your wallet for Sparkles. You’re going to buy her a beautiful doggy bed, stock the cabinets with healthy, environmentally-friendly, organic and insanely overpriced dog food and invest in the best collar and leash money can buy -- because nothing’s too good for Sparkles. You’re going to take Sparkles to the vet and shell out hundreds for examinations, shots and neutering. You will get yelled at by a customer for falling asleep at a sales meeting because you stayed up all night listening to Sparkles bark or chase imaginary (you hope) friends around the house.
Oh, of course it's worth it. Sparkles is a bundle of love! But, oh boy, did it cost you.
Related: How Much Cash Do You Need for Your Business's Safety Net?
No, Sparkles was not free. Nothing is free. Everything costs more than people say. Your job, as a business owner, is to make sure you’re fully aware of all the costs before you buy in.
For example, software has a hidden cost. When you move to that great, cloud-based system to do your accounting, payroll or sales tracking, you’re not just paying that “low monthly fee” for the service.
Who’s going to migrate the data from your existing system? Who’s going to get everything set up in the new system? Who’s going to make sure you’re getting the same reports you were getting before? Who’s going to teach everyone how to use the new system and be available to answer all the inevitable questions?
Someone will need to do all of this. Maybe that someone is an employee of yours or maybe it’s someone you’ll hire from the outside, or maybe a combination of the two. But the reality is that it will take time and time is money.
Related: 8 Ways to Make Certain Optimism Doesn't Blind You to Signs You're Going Broke
When you bring in an outside consultant, lawyer, accountant or project manager have you really considered the costs? No, it’s not just their hourly fee. It’s the time you’re going to have to take to work with that person. No professional can do their work in a vacuum. To really succeed with a project you’re going to have to be fully engaged with your consultant. You can’t just hand the ball over and expect him or her to run down the field. You can’t absolve yourself of any responsibility.
Outsiders need supervision, guidance and input from you if they’re going to help you accomplish the goals you’ve given them. Don’t expect to just wipe your hands clean. And don’t expect it to just cost you an hourly fee. There’s a lot more to it than that.
When you hire that new customer-service rep, have you considered all the costs? It’s not just salary. It’s health insurance, social security, Medicare and unemployment insurance. It’s sick time and vacation days and 401(k) contributions.
It’s the weeks your new hire will need to get up to speed, which means someone internally will need to provide training, fixing mistakes and dealing with customers during the transition. It’s the time you’ll need to check in on progress, sit in on evaluations and approve that promised salary increase six or 12 months later. No, a person’s salary is not the only cost. Even a “free” summer intern requires time to supervise. There are other costs you have to consider.
Do you consider all of these costs when you’re about to invest? It’s always more than people say, so build in your cushions and increase your budget. And though you may not wind up with a lovable, devoted puppy as your reward, you can at least make sure you’re not paying more for something than you intended.

| Saturday 12th September was the date for this years Horticultural and Craft Show. It was busy getting ready for it.
Lots of lovely things on the show bench....
Best in the Hobbies and Handicraft section went to one of the ladies from the Craftshare group with her beautiful cross stitched stag picture. It was the first time she had entered anything like this so we were all delighted for her.
The Community Orchard/allotment project that DH is involved with, helping new local growers/people to grow their own food in a community atmosphere won a first place too with their Container of Homegrown Produce. The new growers were thrilled and are certainly all revved up for next years growing season and show.
If you read here regularly you will know that for the past 10 years there has been a cross stitched sampler for the winner of the Best in Show category and for seven of those I have stitched it. This year we had been asked if there could be something different for a change. So, in collaboration with the Craftshare group one of the members made this beautiful applique cushion for the winner to receive as well as the trophy.
I did stitch a small something. A gift for a local celebrity gardener, Ady Dayman. He comes along to present the prizes and give us plenty of giggles as he does the auction of produce and help draw the raffle. He is well known for his bight and cheerful personality, he's lively and fun and as he's a gardener himself, I chose to stitch Shepherds Bush 'Scatter Sunshine and Joy' and included a planner book for him.
It was a good day. Thank you to all who came along and helped us.
Postie delivered me a little gift from Linda last week. Some sock wool that she will not use. Thank you Linda I will definitely make good use of this.
Talking of socks, my vibrant and colourful pair are completed...
and here's Mrs Clanger all made up. She's gone off to a different planet now to have some new adventures! Happy Holidays for the LHN/CCN SAL has only had a little attention, still the skater to add next time.
At the Book Borrowers I was asked to stitch up a little quote from Dr Seuss for a member ......
and I've just finished a really lovely book, The Saffron Trail by Rosanna Ley. I have in fact read all 4 of her books and enjoyed them all very much.
I've got a new knitting project on the needles, i'll tell you more another time about that and we are starting making things for the Christmas event so busy times ahead.
Thanks for stopping by to read my rambles, I hope all is well with you and your families. There are some that I know are experiencing sadness and illness, to you.
Love and blessings to you all | CULTURE & ARTS |

The launch represents the first phase of the new "Arrow Intelligent Services" framework and set of software capabilities introduced by Arrow Electronics to simplify and expedite Internet of Things (IoT) deployments worldwide.
The new global offering will lower deployment costs and accelerate the development of IoT applications that interact with IoT hardware through standard web services and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), rather than through complicated and proprietary interfaces and development kits.

"It will dramatically simplify the way OEMs, enterprises and suppliers build, deploy and manage connected and intelligent systems."
"The easier we can make it for businesses to access meaningful data from IoT, the easier it will be for them to build new applications, integrate existing systems, share information and monetize new offerings," he said.
"NetComm Wireless has long recognised the importance of open, simple and economical connectivity solutions and we are pleased to work with Arrow Electronics on the delivery of a market first Intelligent Gateway that will streamline complex and fragmented development processes, and significantly reduce the time and cost involved in building new applications anywhere in the world," said David Stewart, CEO and Managing Director, NetComm Wireless.
Arrow Intelligent Gateways will be launched as the first part of a new framework that will provide off-the-shelf management capabilities for a number of product categories. The technology leverages a common set of API-based services to normalize set-up, configuration and management of NetComm Wireless' M2M devices.
NetComm Wireless is exhibiting at CTIA Super Mobility 2015, September 9-11 at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Las Vegas, Nevada. Visit the team at stand #5149.

| October Some part of most of us Survived all that, eh? I think we can take a deep Breath and relax a bit; at first glance October looks pretty quiet, though of course something will turn up to keep us entertained, as it always does. I assume you’ve noticed that you’re new-born. But, I suspect, not as Vulnerable as we’d expect to be as a new-born, eh? When a Crab molts, it’s extremely Vulnerable for a while as it runs around nekkid scrambling to eat enough Calcium to harden up it’s new carapace. But my own shell feels hardened by this Rebirth. Yours? The Opposition between dwarf planet Chaos (Unlimited Potential) and the Conjunction of Centaur Pholus (Responsibility) with dwarf planet Ixion (our Pathological Genius) and asteroid Pallas (Boundaries) continues all month, but in the first few days of October Chiron (Despair to Empathy to Miracle) backs out of its T-Square across it. So… In the sense that our Lifelong Challenge is to Own and Support and Protect and Project our socially unacceptable Pathological Genius, Taking Responsibility to do just that (since it’s the Ability side of our Mission), setting the appropriate Boundaries, and indulging our outrageous Fantasies of Unlimited Power to Shift the Trajectory of the Planet, will indeed harden our carapace against Normative Mediocrity and Avarice as Usual. The Uranus-Eris Conjunction (Continuing to Peel off Masks) Trine-Sextile Bridges (ameliorates) the Opposition. Later in the month, Jupiter Initiates both Mars and Venus. The Opposition between Vesta (Limiting Beliefs) and Juno (the Edges of Consciousness), which so thanatologically (Ego-wise) decorated the Eclipse, remains for the first few days of October, but since the two asteroids are moving in opposite directions (Vesta Retrograde, Juno Direct), this Angle fades quickly. The Opposition is Exact at half-past 5pm PDT ( http://www.jbuss.com/tt/pdt17.htm ) on 30 September, but it’s not a Can-Opener. Juno has pulled ahead of Lilith by only a Degree, and Makemake remains only one Degree past the North Node. As the month wears on, we’ll discover how our Dynamic and Magnetic Creative Powers and our Self-Sovereignty have been Transformed. We should be done with the Ego Death for now, and focused instead on Rebuilding a new Life from the Fresh Violets that remain in the Ancient Pottery Bowl, aided and abetted by our new Discoveries. We could have a lot of Discoveries in October, as we Discover what’s New and what’s no longer a part of our Disguise. The dwarf planet Sedna (Actions taken out of Fear and Anger) does still sit between the two Stars of Ill Repute, Capulus and Algol, however, although those Stars bode ill more for the Patriarchy than for Integrity. We should expect the Patriarchy to continue to lash out irrationally at the Snakes biting its heels for a few more years, till Sedna clears Algol. Take care to Protect your planets in the penultimate duad (25-28 Degrees) of Taurus. This entry was posted on September 29, 2015 at 10:26 pm and is filed under Identity, October 2015.

| For Immigrants – And All of Us – A Time to Fight
by Bernard Weisberger
It has so far annoyed but not really surprised me that Donald Trump, despite being an obnoxious bully, has defied expectations with a steady rise in the public opinion polls. It may be that his buffoonery and megalomania are simply more attractive to some early voters than rival candidates, with their solemn professions that what pushes them into the grind of campaigning is their dedication to promoting the public welfare.
But I am considerably more than annoyed when Trump puts himself at the head of the armies of the new nativism by using his bullhorn to echo the warnings of the movement’s Cassandras against the supposed “hordes” of undocumented immigrants pouring through our “open southern border.” His point of attack is the so-called “anchor babies” — children of pregnant mothers who supposedly sneak into the United States so that their children will be born here and automatically become citizens.
The hidden, malodorous and unproven subtext is that these children, entitled to the privileges of citizenship, will open the gates to legalizing the entry of family members, swarms of whom will qualify for welfare state entitlement programs, so that they may live in happy idleness at the expense of ¨real” American taxpayers. None of these suppositions has yet been proven by any serious evidence.
So thus far, disgusting enough. But when Trump dipped into the gutter to add to this repertory of lies and half truths one of the oldest and rankest — namely that Mexico was emptying its prisons and asylums to let rapists and thieves run free on our streets (a charge eagerly snapped up by the likes of O’Reilly and Limbaugh , and left unchallenged by many of Trump’s rivals for the nomination) – I boiled over. That’s crossing the line that separates debate from shameless indecency.
I am a historian of the United States and have heard it all before, sometimes almost verbatim and no less gross. Our works of history rightly celebrate our role as a land of asylum and opportunity for people from almost everywhere on the globe. It’s a pillar of our cherished self-image as exceptional among nations. But they often overlook or minimize the contrasting truth that there was always stiff resistance to that hospitality.
Listen to this: “America has become the sewer into which the pollutions of European jails are emptied.” Substitute “Mexican” or “Latin American” for “European” and it could be straight out of Trump’s latest eruption. But it’s from a newspaper published in the 1850s by supporters of an anti-Catholic and foreigner-hating movement that began as a secret society whose members were ordered, when asked nosy questions, to say: “I know nothing.” Eventually, the “Know-Nothings” emerged into the open and organized themselves into a political organization that campaigned in 1854 as “the American Party.”
In that first off-year foray, the new entry won a number of state and local offices and some seats in both House and Senate. The basic glue that held Know-Nothing-ism together was hatred of the alien (especially the Irish). The slither of the Know Nothings into the American Party was a way of “protecting” America from the Pope’s minions and other evil foreign influences. Happily, 1854 was only a flash in the pan. When the party ran a national ticket headed by so respectable a figure as ex-US President Millard Fillmore, they won only a single state, Maryland.
A Know-Nothing cartoon depicting stereotypes about whiskey drinking Irish and beer drinking Germans as they steal the ballot box while Americans fight at the polls.
By the time Abraham Lincoln ran for the Senate in 1858, two years before his presidential campaign, as many as half of the American people were the offspring of Europeans and could not trace their ancestry back to the stirring days of 1776. But if they looked at the Declaration of Independence, Lincoln said in a campaign speech in Chicago, they found the words “all men are created equal” became “the father of all moral principle in them, and they have a right to claim it as though they were blood of the blood, and flesh of the flesh of the men who wrote that Declaration, and so they are.” This self-evident truth of equal creation became the “electric cord that link[ed] the hearts of patriotic and liberty-loving men everywhere.” To be American was not about ancestry but to commit oneself heart and soul to the ideal of equality.
A few years later, Lincoln was dead along with some 600,000 casualties of the Civil War, and a radical Republican Congress oversaw writing the Union’s victory into the Constitution via the Fourteenth Amendment. Its opening clause proclaimed, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” That flipped the prewar position, in which state citizenship was necessary to become a United States citizen, leaving room for states to refuse citizenship to “undesirables” like Negroes and foreigners. Now, no state could deny its born or naturalized resident citizens “the equal protection of its laws” or the guarantees of the Bill of Rights.
The Fourteenth Amendment clearly intended to make sure that the newly freed ex-slaves would have their full civil rights, though it would take a Fifteenth to specify that voting was included. The inclusion of children born in the United States to recent immigrants was almost incidental. That is the “error” that the enemies of birthright citizenship aim to correct. They argue that almost no other nations outside the Western hemisphere show such foolish generosity. Somehow, this is one issue on which they are willing to forget or forgo our proud exceptionalism.
Meanwhile, American ports began receiving the first waves of an enormous and transformative mass migration — some 31 million between 1860 and 1930. They represented a “new” immigration: Chinese, Italians, Greeks, Poles, Russians, Syrians, Slovaks, Serbs, Armenians. To many so-called “old stock” Americans, millions of these newcomers were dangerous and unworthy, and to the members of an Immigration Restriction League – which included in its number many of “the best people” of New England – the immigrants were of the “wrong” religions and nationalities. Poet Thomas Bailey Aldrich explained that through our “unguarded gates” pressed,
… a wild motley throng
Men from the Volga and the Tartar Steppes…
Flying the Old World’s poverty and scorn;
These bringing with them unknown gods and rites
Those, tiger passions, here to stretch their claws.
The same old charges were recycled — newcomers threatened the jobs of Americans; they swelled the statistics of crime, violence and dependency; they clung stubbornly to their religions, customs and languages and could neither absorb nor understand the values of genuine Americans.

A poster from the 1890s on the topic of barring Chinese immigrants from America.[/caption]Eventually, the gates began to swing shut on unrestricted immigration. There was denial of entry to those convicted of crimes in their home countries — which might include rebellion against tyrannical regimes. Then, rejection for those harboring contagious diseases. A third barrier, literacy tests, never quite made it into law but in 1921 and 1924, laws were enacted that set overall limits on immigration, divided by “national origins” quotas that favored the descendants of pre-1860 immigrants, while sharply narrowing openings for the children and grandchildren of those who had come later. Asians were barred completely.
But those who squeezed through narrowed gates did what immigrants have always done when given a chance — assimilated the American values of the time, grabbed educational opportunities provided by the public school system, and by the millions took out the naturalization papers that gave them the ultimate step in acceptance — participating in democracy on an equal footing with the snootiest Mayflower descendant. So armed, they entered American politics and, over time, changed it for the better.
A three-decade period of liberalism following the Depression, World War II and the assumption of an American global presence resulted in a 1965 change to the laws that replaced national origins quotas with others based on family reunification, specially needed skills, and refugee status. They erased the barrier to Asians altogether, setting off a new and continuing wave of immigration, still in progress.
But none of this will continue if the likes of Trump and his allies can help it. The children of that slandered “new” immigration helped to build our cities and dedicated their working lives in mines, mills and factories to make us a mighty industrial power. They fought and died in our wars. But for some “real Americans” that hasn’t been enough. So here we are again, in a period of reaction, staring into the ugly face of nativism.
The Know Nothing / American Party flag
Trump’s announced intention to deport 11 million “illegals” while building a wall from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico at no cost — details conveniently not provided — is simultaneously savage and ludicrous. Yet what troubles me deeply is the possibility of this kind of cesspool politics finding wider acceptance, or being ignored apathetically by large numbers of Americans. Even more disturbing is the sluggishness of the response from Republican and Democratic opinion makers. Where is the outrage? Why is the counterattack left largely to Hispanic organizations? Why isn’t every decent media outlet shouting a few, simple home truths over the bullhorns of those insisting on their xenophobic lies? Such truths as these:
The “illegals” are not indolent. For years now they have been picking our crops, nursing our elderly, cleaning our homes and babysitting our children. They are not freeloaders. That honor should be reserved for people like rancher Cliven Bundy who grazes his cattle on federally owned land but refuses to pay federal fees and taxes. They do not take jobs from Americans. Their bottom-of-the-ladder, low-wage service jobs don’t pay enough to attract American workers, white or black. Probably as many or more job losses are caused by employers moving operations abroad — or automation, which is a generic problem for all of today’s workers. They are not “takers.” They contribute positively to the economy through sales and excise taxes, and cannot claim Social Security, Medicare or other benefits because it would reveal their undocumented status — which makes them vulnerable to threats and exploitation by their bosses. Their crime rates are comparable to those of the general population, allowing for differences in income and living conditions.
It’s true that completely unregulated immigration may no longer be feasible. But the movement of people from poor and turbulent nations to wealthy, stable and reasonably free ones is happening all over the world. Our governments must come together in trade and economic treaties that level the playing field by helping to enrich and empower poorer peoples. Trade pacts need to elevate the status of working men and women rather than maximize the profits of corporations promising that some of the swag will mysteriously trickle down to “the lower orders.”
Until that miracle happens, no walls will keep desperate and courageous, motivated people from taking big risks to evade or scale them. Far better to provide our undocumented with reasonable and non-punitive paths to citizenship.

That can’t take place when truth is befogged by racist and hateful lies, which is the reason that every school should teach and every network newscast should repeat this essential reality: the story of our nation’s long practice of welcoming immigrants and opening a wide door to full rights is an American triumph, all the more so because it has been achieved over constant resistance and with many relapses and setbacks.
Should Trump and associates ever get their way, the symbol of America would change from the Statue of Liberty with her uplifted torch lighting the path through the golden door to one of the Wall, complete with searchlights, guard towers, barbed wire and watchdogs. May it never be so.

"We are not amused," Clara recited.
"No, no, no." Samantha rolled her eyes. "You'll never sound right like
that. There's no way Queen Victoria's from Blackpool."
"Oh, and she really was from Liverpool?" Clara leaned forward and
put her elbows on the table to emphasise her point. "Look, one of my
fragments has to live as her and save the Doctor from those monks. But
there's got to be more to being the Queen than having an authentic Scouse

Samantha downed her Babycham. "Worked for me, chuck," she pointed out.

| US Treasury on Iran Sanctions Post-Deal September 18, 2015 Print On September 17, a ranking Treasury official told lawmakers that the United States is “intensifying a battery of sanctions that will not change under the terms of that deal” even while preparing to suspend secondary nuclear sanctions in return for Iranian compliance. “These include sanctions against Iranian human rights abusers as well as our powerful campaign against the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Quds Force, as well as Hizballah and other Iranian partners and proxies in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, and beyond,” Adam Szubin, nominee for Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Crimes, told the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs at his nomination hearing. Szubin has served as Director of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control since 2006. The following are excerpts from Szubin’s testimony and answers to lawmakers’ questions. “[U]nder Stuart Levey’s and then David Cohen’s leadership, TFI (Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence) devised and executed a strategy to dramatically intensify the pressure against the government of Iran and its malign policies, its nuclear program chief among them. Through a steady campaign to expose Iran's deceptive activities in the financial arena, we cut Iran’s banks off from the world’s financial centers, and badly wounded its trade and financial strength. In 2010, Congress, with this Committee at the center, then dramatically advanced the effort, passing bipartisan measures that brought Iran’s crude oil sales down by 60 percent, escrowed Iran’s foreign reserves in banks around the world, and ensured that Iran’s leaders knew that it would not recover economically until it clearly and verifiably closed off all of its pathways to a nuclear weapon. These efforts led to the election of President Rouhani and culminated in the diplomatic process that produced the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The women and men of TFI worked incredibly hard over the past decade to impose and enforce these measures, and to combat every effort to circumvent them. And, even as we prepare to suspend our secondary nuclear sanctions if Iran fulfills its commitments under the deal, we are simultaneously intensifying a battery of sanctions that will not change under the terms of that deal. These include sanctions against Iranian human rights abusers as well as our powerful campaign against the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Quds Force, as well as Hizballah and other Iranian partners and proxies in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, and beyond. And we will be doing so in active cooperation with our partners in Europe, the Gulf, and Israel.”
Banks found to be supporting militant groups “will find themselves back onto the list, and the Iranians I believe understand that.”

| More and more enterprises are increasingly adopting and relying on cloud services and tools with great success. But adopting cloud tools and services can introduce changes enterprise leaders and IT teams may not see coming. One example is how cloud adoption can change how you monitor and manage your network.
Generally, cloud adoption often adds a level of complexity to network monitoring because moving applications out of the internal data center influences how network administrators track performance, latency, and other key details. On the other hand, cloud computing can also benefit network monitoring.
So let’s see how becoming more reliant on the cloud is changing “the network” classical meaning and how network monitoring is an imperative step when moving to the cloud.

| The River Cycle Consortium Limited (RCCL), the group behind the proposed Thames Deckway, an 8-mile floating pedestrian and cycle path on the Thames, today announced that it will be funding the first feasibility phase of the project using the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.
Built in stages, the Thames Deckway will eventually run for eight miles close to the river’s south bank from Battersea to Canary Wharf. It will generate all its own energy from state-of-the-art wind, tide and solar technologies that are integrated into the Deckway’s pontoon system.
Entrepreneur and Co-Founder of the project Anna Hill commented:
‘The plan for the Thames Deckway has always been for it to be a citizen-led enterprise and free of reliance on government funding. That’s why crowdfunding is the perfect fit for us to kick-off the project. Anyone who wants to see a faster, safer, greener cycling experience for Londoners is invited to support our campaign.’

| Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has what looks to many like an impossible to overcome lead on its growing list of rivals. As the U.S. and much of the world works to move away from fossil fuels and toward more environmentally friendly transportation it’s easy to understand why so many would want to claim a piece of the EV market. It’s one thing to want a piece of the market and another to get a piece and that will prove to be difficult for most rivals. At this point, Tesla holds a ludicrous lead over every other EV maker. Tesla is the pace-setter and as of today it has no real competitor – but they are coming. The Tesla Motors Roadster (right) was Elon Musks first success with an EV although it almost cost him his fortune. The Model S (left) has become the standard in luxury EVs. Current Tesla Competitors? The simple answer is, there is no direct competitor. That’s not to say that Tesla is the only EV maker in the world – there are many. Mostly though, unlike cars we are all used to driving, they are small and provide very little range. They’re great for getting around town or for short commutes. The number one selling EV in the world isn’t made by Tesla. It’s a Nissan – The Nissan Leaf. The Nissan Leaf is worth mentioning because it is the more affordable alternative for drivers looking for a 100%, plugin EV. It lacks the technology of the Tesla, gives drivers only an 85 mile range but it’s priced far below the Tesla. It’s more readily available as well. A few reasons Tesla holds a ludicrous lead The Supercharger Network Despite some complaints from current Tesla owners regarding local Supercharger use, this is one of the best features that Tesla offers and it’s going to be very difficult to compete with. Superchargers are super-fast charging stations that are strategically placed to make long distance travel easy for Tesla owners. There are currently 512 Supercharger stations with 2,895 Superchargers. Superchargers are FREE to use for Tesla owners and can only be used with Tesla vehicles. This infrastructure of charging stations is an important focus for the company as it gives an advantage no other auto maker can offer and one it will be very difficult for other auto makers to re-produce quickly. When Tesla says Superchargers are fast, it’s not kidding. In just 30 minutes, drivers can add 170 miles of range and while they are doing that they can grab a cup of coffee at a nearby Starbucks. Stations are strategically placed near restaurants and shopping giving drivers a nice place to take a break. Batteries (Gigafactory) Tesla Motors Inc makes very expensive cars. One reason for the high price is the high cost of batteries. To help overcome this challenge, Tesla is working hard to improve its battery technology and reduce costs. One way to reduce cost is to scale up production which will improve manufacturing efficiencies. This is where the Gigafactory becomes important. Scheduled to open in 2017 but ahead of schedule, the first Gigafactory (there are more to come) is set to produce batteries for Tesla automobiles as well as the batteries used in the Tesla Powerwall for home use. Tesla expects to reduce the cost of batteries by 30% or more. Other than Tesla, no other car manufacturer is close to tackling the battery issue at least not yet. Just another way Tesla is pulling away from the pack. Tesla has an incredible reputation Just a few weeks ago, the Tesla Model S P85D broke Consumer Reports rating system scoring 103 points on a scale that tops out at 100 points. That’s how much owners of the car love it. And they love it for so many reasons. Among them: Ease of Purchase – Buyers bypass the traditional dealership model which can be frustrating. They customize and order their Tesla online, place a deposit and as hard as it may be, they wait for delivery. The no-dealership model is being challenged in court cases in many states but Tesla has been overcoming those challenges with relative ease so far. Delivered Promises – Tesla doesn’t promise perfection but what they deliver is close to that. The Model S is as luxurious as just about any car out there, the technology is 2nd to none and the car is fast. Very fast. In some cases (Model S P90D with the right options), ludicrously fast going from 0 – 60 in 2.8 seconds. Customer service is without peer with staff that goes beyond anything you’ll see at a traditional auto service department. Owners arrive at their service appointments to a red carpet reception and immediate attention. Loaners are typically a nicer Model S than you’re bringing in for service. Good plan, Tesla! Great Technology – The gradual introduction of Auto-pilot features is only one way Tesla is crushing the competition with technology. Traffic-aware cruise control already allows drivers to let the car control acceleration and braking. Lane-keeping is promised in the next several weeks. Combine those two features and you can just about let the car drive itself on the highway. The Auto-pilot features are great but the first thing you notice when you climb into a Tesla is the 17 inch touch screen monitor that can display everything from energy usage, navigation, entertainment and even a web browser. The car is always online via 3G connections at no monthly cost to the owner. All music is streaming via included apps. The car will even route your travel through Supercharger stations removing “range anxiety” on long trips. It’s going to be hard to catch up to Tesla With the soon to be delivered Tesla Model X and the lower priced Model 3 expected in 2017, Tesla continues to create a lead that seems very difficult to overcome. The technology behind an EV is being refined, the costs are coming down and the demand is rising. There is little question that as these improved and less expensive EVs become available, more people will be driving them. The reality is that there really are no Tesla competitors currently out there. The technology is at its very earliest stage, and is being pushed forward by Tesla. [Full disclosure: I’m long TSLA] | SCIENCE & TECH |

| Here’s the bottom line: No matter what occurs, this has to be mine. This is the kind of desire at first sight that doesn’t dissipate with time, so I ought to just go for it now before I go crazy with longing. Novelty bags are meant to tug at your heart, and Marni does a damn good job making this little number really pull.
It’s not your typical novelty bag, though; there’s not a bit of wacky lettering, kitschy print, or vivid color to be found. Instead, a clean, classic palette of off-white leather accented with a chestnut-brown strap and golden hardware lets the shape shine. And shine it does. A smooth pochette box meant to dangle flirtatiously from your hand is all I need to be sold. This wristlet is more adorable than kittens and pandas playing together. Yes, it’s that cute! Marni bag at Barneys New York for $1,740.
Wear with: Tie on Haider Ackermann’s silk-satin shirt in midnight-blue for a cool spin on evening dressing. On NET-A-PORTER for $815.

| The government is yet to give administrative sanction to the PWD proposal to improve the condition of various Sabarimala roads. According to official sources, the PWD Executive Engineer here had submitted a Rs.65-crore project proposal for improving the condition of various roads that link the Mannarakulanji- Pampa main trunk road leading to Sabarimala.
Almost all roads leading to the Mannarakulanji- Pampa road are in a bad shape and the Punalur-Ponkunnam Road is said to be the worst-hit.
The condition of the Chengannur-Kottayam stretch of the M.C. Road is pathetic. The Kerala State Transport Project that has undertaken the second phase of M.C. Road Development work should take steps to repair and improve the road condition, the sources said.
The Akhila Bharatha Ayyappa Seva Sanghom (ABASS) has urged the government to ensure proper pilgrim facilities in Chengannur, Pandalam, Thiruvalla, Ranni, Achencoil, Kottayam, Erumeli, and Guruvayur where pilgrims converge in large numbers .
Talking to The Hindu on Wednesday, D. Vijayakumar, ABASS vice president, accused the government and the official machinery of gross neglect in the issue.
