input: Deal became the bassist and backing vocalist for Pixies in January 1986, after answering an advertisement in the Boston Phoenix that said, ""Band seeks bassist into Husker Du and Peter, Paul and Mary. Please - no chops." Deal was the only person to call them, even though her main instrument was guitar. She borrowed her sister Kelley's bass guitar to use in the band. To complete the lineup, she suggested they hire David Lovering as drummer, a friend of her husband, whom she met at her wedding reception. For the release of the band's first recording Come on Pilgrim (1987), Deal used the nom de disque "Mrs. John Murphy" in the liner notes. She chose the name as an ironic feminist joke, after conversing with a lady who wished to be called only by her husband's name as a form of respect. For Surfer Rosa (1988), Deal sang lead vocals on the album's only single, "Gigantic" ( sample ), which she co-wrote with Black Francis. Doolittle followed a year later, with Deal contributing the song "Silver" and appearing on slide guitar. By this time, however, tensions began to develop between her and Francis, with bickering and standoffs between the two marring the album's recording sessions. This led to increased stress between the band members. Murphy commented that during the sessions, it "went from just all fun to work". Exhaustion, from releasing three records in two years and constant touring, contributed to the friction, particularly between Francis and Deal. The tension and exhaustion culminated at the end of the US "Fuck or Fight" tour, where they were too tired to attend the end-of-tour party. The band soon announced a hiatus.

Problem: Background: ZZ Top is an American rock band formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas. The band has, since 1970, consisted of bassist and lead vocalist Dusty Hill, guitarist and lead vocalist Billy Gibbons (the band's leader, main lyricist and musical arranger), and drummer Frank Beard. "As genuine roots musicians, they have few peers", according to former musician, critic and collector Michael "Cub" Koda. "Gibbons is one of America's finest blues guitarists working in the arena rock idiom [...] while Hill and Beard provide the ultimate rhythm section support."
Context: The original line-up was formed in Houston and consisted of Gibbons, organist Lanier Greig (died February 2013) and drummer Dan Mitchell. The name of the band was Gibbons' idea. The band had a little apartment covered with concert posters and he noticed that many performers' names utilized initials. Gibbons particularly noticed B.B. King and Z.Z. Hill and thought of combining the two into "ZZ King", but considered it too similar to the original name. He then figured that "king is going at the top" which brought him to "ZZ Top". ZZ Top was managed by Bill Ham, a Waxahachie, Texas native who had befriended Gibbons a year earlier. They released their first single, "Salt Lick", in 1969, and the B-side contained the song "Miller's Farm". Both songs were credited to Gibbons. Immediately after the recording of "Salt Lick", Greig was replaced by bassist Billy Ethridge, a band-mate of Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Mitchell was replaced by Frank Beard of the American Blues. Due to lack of interest from U.S. record companies, ZZ Top accepted a record deal from London Records. Unwilling to sign a recording contract, Ethridge quit the band and Dusty Hill was selected as his replacement. After Hill moved from Dallas to Houston, ZZ Top signed with London in 1970. They performed their first concert together at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Beaumont on February 10. In addition to assuming the role as the band's leader, Gibbons became the main lyricist and musical arranger. With the assistance of Ham and engineer Robin Hood Brians, ZZ Top's First Album (1971) was released and exhibited the band's humour, with "barrelhouse" rhythms, distorted guitars, double entendres, and innuendo. The music and songs reflected ZZ Top's blues influences. Following their debut album, the band released Rio Grande Mud (1972), which failed commercially and the promotional tour consisted of mostly empty auditoriums.
Question: what was their greatest hit?
Answer:
Question: Amy Marcy Cheney Beach (September 5, 1867 - December 27, 1944) was an American composer and pianist. She was the first successful American female composer of large-scale art music. Her "Gaelic" Symphony, premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1896, was the first symphony composed and published by an American woman. She was one of the first American composers to succeed without the benefit of European training, and one of the most respected and acclaimed American composers of her era.
Amy Marcy Cheney was born in Henniker, New Hampshire to Charles Abbott Cheney (nephew of Oren B. Cheney, who founded Bates College) and Clara Imogene Marcy Cheney. Artistic ability appears to have run in the family: Clara was reputedly an "excellent pianist and singer,", and had a sister named Emma Francis "Franc" Marcy, who taught voice and piano in Boston. Emma's daughter Ethel, who "displayed a talent for art," went "to study in New York, Boston, and twice to Paris" during the 1890s. Amy showed every sign of a child prodigy. She was able to sing forty songs accurately by age one, she was capable of improvising counter-melody by age two, and she taught herself to read at age three. At four, she composed three waltzes for piano during a summer at her grandfather's farm in West Henniker, NH, despite the absence of a piano; instead, she composed the pieces mentally and played them when she returned home. The family struggled to keep up with her musical interests and demands. Her mother sang and played for her, but attempted to prevent young Amy from playing the family piano herself, believing that to indulge the child's wishes in this respect would damage parental authority. Amy often commanded what music was played in the home and how, becoming enraged if it did not meet her standards. Amy began formal piano lessons with her mother at age six, and soon gave public recitals of works by Handel, Beethoven, and Chopin, as well as her own pieces. One such recital was reviewed in arts journal The Folio, and multiple agents proposed concert tours for the young pianist, which her parents declined - a decision for which Amy was later grateful. In 1875, the Cheney family moved to Chelsea, a suburb just across the Mystic River from Boston. They were advised there to enroll Amy in a European conservatory, but opted instead for local training, hiring Ernst Perabo and later Carl Baermann (himself a student of Franz Liszt) as piano teachers. In 1881-82, fourteen-year-old Amy also studied harmony and counterpoint with Junius W. Hill. This would be her only formal instruction as a composer, but "[s]he collected every book she could find on theory, composition, and orchestration ... she taught herself ... counterpoint, harmony, fugue," even translating Gevaert's and Berlioz's French treatises on orchestration, considered "most composers' bibles," into English for herself.

An example of a movie review. positive.
A: This was a delightful presentation. Hemo (blood) as a Greek god was so well played by the animation with vanity, arrogance, snobbish superiority and innocent wonder. The quote (or scene) I recall vividly is when Hemo tires of "all this plumbing ... you haven't learned my secrets at all" and threatens to storm out, the Scientist answers him in a single word "Thalassa" -- salt water which horrifies the Fiction Writer but mollifies Hemo and segues so neatly into the chemical aspects of blood.
Such a splendid blend of entertainment and information make this a classic as fresh and engrossing today as the day it was released. Stimulating the interest and imagination is fundamental to teaching kids to love learning.

A: In a near future, the ordinary man above any suspicious from the suburb Morgan Sullivan (Jeremy Northam) is hired by Digicorp, a huge corporation, to be assigned as a spy and steal secrets from their competitors, Sunways. Along his training, Morgan is brainwashed, assumes a new identity of Jack Thursby and travels to boring lectures. In one of them, he is approached by the beautiful and mysterious Rita Foster (Lucy Liu), who advises him that nothing is how it seems to be. Morgan acknowledges a new reality, where he does not know who can be trusted.
The unknown "Cypher" was a great surprise for me. This movie has not been released in Brazil, but the engaging and exciting story is quite complex, with many plot points, and with great screenplay, direction and performances. In the very last twist, I recalled Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Total Recall". This movie certainly deserves to be watched more than once, and I really did not like the last scene, when the independent spy disposes the disputed disc in the sea. In only know the director Vicenzo Natali from the fantastic "Cube", and this second work I see is also stunning. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): Not Available

This is the kind of film for a snowy Sunday afternoon when the rest of the world can go ahead with its own business as you descend into a big arm-chair and mellow for a couple of hours. Wonderful performances from Cher and Nicolas Cage (as always) gently row the plot along. There are no rapids to cross, no dangerous waters, just a warm and witty paddle through New York life at its best. A family film in every sense and one that deserves the praise it received.

What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Cut the mushrooms, carrots, beans, and bamboo shoots lengthwise into slices 1 in (2.5 cm) wide. Also slice up the chiles, but don’t remove the seeds. Pour the oil into a wok or a large pan. Wait a couple of minutes for the oil to get hot. Place the chiles in the oil and let them cook until they become fragrant. This happens between 1 and 2 minutes. They lose moisture as they cook, so watch for any signs of shriveling. If this happens, move on to the next step immediately. Mix in the carrots to get them coated in the oil. After about 2 minutes, they will have softened. Stir them into the oil, then wait between 3 to 4 minutes for them to soften. Move the cooked and sliced bamboo into the pan. Stir it to coat it in oil, then let it stir-fry for 3 more minutes. Pour the soy sauce into the pan and mix the ingredients to coat them evenly in it. Wait 1 last minute as the stir-fry finishes. Immediately serve and enjoy it. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for a couple of days.

Q: If you're unsure about which part is the battery, then check your owner’s manual. Some vehicles have their battery in the trunk, under or behind an access panel. If the post is not covered, place a towel or other clean rag over the positive post. This will help you to avoid accidentally creating sparks by coming into contact with the positive terminal. The nut will be located to the left of the terminal. If needed, pry the terminal open with a screwdriver, or gently wiggle the connector until it loosens. Loosen the nut that holds the terminal onto the positive post by using a socket wrench. Although the negative terminal has been removed, still be careful to ensure the wrench used does not contact any other metal. If needed, pry the terminal open with a screwdriver or wiggle the connector to loosen the terminal.
A: Open the hood of the car and use the support bar to prop it open. Locate the battery within the engine compartment. Check the positive post to be sure that the cover is on. Loosen the nut that holds the terminal onto the negative post using a socket wrench. Lift the terminal off the negative battery post. Remove the cover from the positive post. Lift the terminal off the positive post.
Q: Any food scraps or stains need to be removed prior to storage as these tend to attract insects as their own food source. Also remove dirt, smudges and any other source of stains. The safest method for cleaning a quilt is vacuuming, followed by airing, then washing. Each approach is discussed in the following steps. The best vacuum is a hand-held one, such as a dust buster. Alternatively, use the upholstery nozzle of a standard household vacuum cleaner, covered with muslin/cheesecloth or similar light fabric. Set the vacuum to the lowest level and sweep it back and forth across the quilt to collect loose fluff, debris and dirt. Check that the quilt looks okay before deciding whether anything further is needed before storage. If the quilt is antique, place a nylon or fiberglass screen across the quilt before vacuuming; this will protect the fibers from the strong suction. If the only noticeable problem with the quilt is that it smells musty or unpleasant, airing might be the answer. To air the quilt: Wait for a dry day without too much wind. Find a suitable shady spot outside. The spot should be fairly clean, such as concrete, nice grass or fresh new leaves, etc. Don't choose a spot where there is a lot of dust liable to blow over the quilt. Throw a large cotton sheet across the ground. This will keep the quilt separate from the surface, preventing any potential stains. Lay the quilt over the sheet, taking care not to overlap at the edges. Alternatively, a quilt that is in good, strong condition can be laid over a clothesline. If so, throw the base sheet over several of the lines of the clothesline (as if you were laying the table), then drape the quilt across the sheet, over the several lines. This method will probably use up all of the clothesline, so avoid doing it on a usual washing day. Avoid pinning the quilt to the clothesline as usually done for drying clothing, as this will stretch the stitches and fibers too much. This requires full knowledge on your behalf of what can happen to the quilt, and given that quilts are made from varying materials, this can be hard to know sometimes. Issues that you might encounter include dyes running, fabric shrinkage, stretched stitches and fibers due to the heaviness of being wet and pummeling by the washing process itself. To know whether or not it's okay to wash the quilt, answer the following questions: Do you know the age of the quilt? A more recent quilt may be less impacted by a wash than an older one. What condition is the quilt in? If it's already falling apart, washing is not really an option. However, it is possible to baste fraying edges with tulle, organza or netting before washing, provided you're up for the extra effort. Have you tested the fabric dyes in the quilt? This is easier done if you made the quilt as you'll likely have swatches of the fabric pieces used. If it's an heirloom quilt, and the person who made it is still alive, ask this person whether the fabrics are dye-fast. If neither is possible, test by dampening a back or non-obvious section of each fabric pieces and blot with a white face washer or other cloth. If the dye comes off on the blotter, you'll know it's going to run during a wash. Even if it doesn't come off on the blotter, try this test again with a little detergent this time; if the dye shows, the fabric will run when detergent is added. If both tests show no dye, it's safe to wash. Has the quilt been washed before? If so, you'll already know how it stood up to a wash. Is the quilt strong or fragile? Only strong quilts should be washed. If you've answered the above questions to your satisfaction, consider washing by hand. Machine washing is really only suitable for very strong quilts (or those cheap ones made in China that you intend to only hang on to for a short time). The bathtub is the best place as it's big and there's plenty of room to maneuver. Ideally, you will need a helper to wash and lift the wet quilt. Fill the bath about 8 inches/20cm with lukewarm/tepid water. (If your local water is hard, consider using distilled water or rainwater from the tank, heated in a kettle or saucepan.) Lower a large sheet into the bath first. This acts as a "sling" for the quilt. Gently lower the quilt onto the sheet. Press gently across the quilt. Swish the water around gently, but not the quilt; keep it steady. If using a detergent, make sure it is suitable for the quilt. Ask at a local quilt retailer or society for advice on a suitable detergent. A wool wash will usually be okay if you can't find a specialized detergent but dilute it before adding it to the bathwater. Drain the water, taking care to keep the quilt away from the drain suction. Refill with lukewarm water for a rinse cycle. Gently agitate, drain again. Do this about 4 to 6 times until you feel the quilt has been cleaned adequately and the detergent is off the quilt. Drain one last time. Pat the quilt with large dry and clean towels. These will start to absorb leftover water from the quilt. Lift the quilt out of the bath by holding the corners of the sheet it is sitting on. Carry it outside to dry (see Airing above, although you may wish to substitute a blanket for a sheet on the ground). This really needs to be done with a helper, to prevent a mishap (and wet quilts tend to be heavy). When drying, place right side down to keep this as clean as possible. Allow to dry completely. It should not be stored until it is completely dry, to avoid the possibility of mildew growth. This is riskier than washing by hand but may be suitable for a strong, modern quilt that you know won't run when washed. It's also a fairly painful process because you can't just shove the quilt in and walk away. Here is what to do: Check that the quilt will fit. Many times they won't and it's no good pushing it in so tightly that it'll break the washing machine. Use the delicate washing cycle only. Use wool wash for the detergent, or a suitable quilt detergent. Check the progress of the washing every half a minute. Stop the washing after 3 minutes. Use a short rinse cycle. If you have a gentle spin dry, use this. Remove the quilt from the washing machine. Dry as for Airing above. These aren't just old, they're usually very delicate and they've suffered their fair share of wear and tear. The fibers and colors of such quilts are likely to have been exposed to light, moisture and acidic conditions over time and hence will have weakened. If the quilt seems too fragile to wash, call a local museum or textile conservator society to ask for their opinion. There will usually be someone in such a community organization who is willing to offer advice on the best cleaning options. Do not give an antique quilt to a dry cleaner unless a select service is recommended by a quilt society or textile conservator.
A:

Ensure your quilt is clean before storing. Vacuum the quilt. Air the quilt. Wash the quilt. Wash the quilt in the bath. Wash by machine. Be very careful when cleaning antique quilts.

Summarize this article in one sentence.
If your meat has been in the freezer longer than you can remember, you'll probably want to toss it, just to be on the safe side. If not, there are some telltale signs your food has gone bad. The meat looks discolored. There’s a nasty smell coming from the packaging. The package shows signs of freezer burn (ice on the inside). Though it is possible to defrost meat without a container, you'll save yourself a lot of clean up time by using one. Typically, glass bowls are the best, safest containers to use in a microwave. If you’re planning to use a plastic container, check out the original packaging to make sure it's safe for microwave use. Some other items considered unsafe for the microwave include brown paper bags, aluminum foil, and single-use plastic containers (ex: the kind that take-out food comes in). Basically, if you're not sure, don't use it. If the meat is still in its original packaging, it probably has a label that tells you exactly how much it weighs. If it doesn't, you’ll need to weigh it yourself. The best tool for weighing meat is a kitchen scale, which gives more specific weights (down to fractions of a lb/kg) than bigger scales. Many materials used to package frozen meats should definitely not be microwaved, so be sure to toss everything but the meat itself before you begin cooking.

Check the meat for signs of spoilage. Find a microwave-safe container. Weigh the meat. Remove the meat from its wrapper.

– Newborns who sleep on animal fur in the first months of life aren't as likely to come down with asthma and allergies later in life, a new study suggests. Researchers aren't talking about snuggling up with a dog or cat—they mean, for example, a sheepskin rug or blanket, explains Time. The study is out of Germany, and such bedding was common there when the kids were born in the 1990s. Followup studies over the years found that those who slept on animal fur in their first three months of life had a 79% lower risk of developing asthma by the age of 6, and a 41% lower risk by the age of 10, reports Science World. They were also less likely to development ailments such as hay fever. "Previous studies have suggested that microbes found in rural settings can protect from asthma," says one of the researchers via Eureka Alert. "An animal skin might also be a reservoir for various kinds of microbes, following similar mechanisms as has been observed in rural environments." Scientists still don't know what causes asthma—it's all about treating symptoms—and results like this can point the way toward future research, says Medical News Today. (One thing that is clear: It's an expensive ailment to have.)

Munich, Germany: Sleeping on animal fur in the first three months of life might reduce the risk of asthma in later childhood a new study has found.
The new research, presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress in Munich today (8 September 2014), suggests that exposure to the microbial environment in animal skin and fur could have a protective effect against asthma and allergies.
Previous studies have suggested that exposure to a wider range of environments fromyoung age could be protective against asthma and allergies. These findings have not been confirmed conclusively in urban settings. In this new study, researchers investigated children from a city environment who had been exposed to animal skin by sleeping on the material shortly after birth.
Data from a German birth cohort called Lisaplus were used. The cohort included over 3,000 healthy newborns who were mainly recruited in 1998.
The researchers collected information on exposure to animal skin during the first three months of life, along with information on the health of children until the age of 10 years. Information on 2,441 children was used in the study, with 55% of those included sleeping on animal skin in the first three months of life.
The results showed that sleeping on animal skin was associated with a reduced risk of a number of factors connected to asthma. The chance of having asthma at the age of 6 years was 79% lower in children who had slept on animal skin after birth compared with those who were not exposed to animal skin. The risk decreased to 41% by the age of 10.
Dr Christina Tischer, from the Helmholtz Zentrum München Research Centre, said: "Previous studies have suggested that microbes found in rural settings can protect from asthma. An animal skin might also be a reservoir for various kinds of microbes, following similar mechanisms as has been observed in rural environments. Our findings have confirmed that it is crucial to study further the actual microbial environment within the animal fur to confirm these associations."
### ||||| Animal fur might be protective against asthma and allergies, a new study finds.
The research , just presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress, examined data from 2,441 German children and found an association between sleeping on animal fur, like sheepskin rugs or throws, during their first three months and a decreased risk of asthma later in childhood, by age 10. Snoozing on fur was also associated with a lower risk of hay fever and wheezing.
Using animal fur as bedding was a common practice in Germany during the 1990s when the data was collected—about 55% of the children examined had slept on animal fur. Sheepskin is among the most popular kind, said lead study author Christina Tischer of the German Research Center for Environmental Health in an email.
The fur rugs aren’t typically treated with pesticides or strong chemical agents, she said. “We think that this animal fur might act as a reservoir for diverse kind of microbial components which [accumulate] over time within the animal fur,” she wrote.
Other studies have shown that diverse microbial environments seem to be protective against allergies, supporting the “hygiene hypothesis” that our hypersanitized lives weaken our defenses by not exposing them to enough bacteria to build proper immunity. The live kind may work, too. If you don’t have a spare bear rug in which to swaddle your infant, other studies have shown that infant exposure to pets might make infants less prone to allergies. ||||| Researchers have found that babies sleeping on animal fur for their first 3 months of life could have a reduced risk of developing asthma later in childhood.
The findings of the research will be presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress in Munich, Germany today. The study suggests that if a baby is exposed to the microbial environment found in animal skin and fur it could derive a degree of protection from asthma and allergies from it.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases experienced by children. It is characterized by wheezing, breathlessness and chest tightening, and can affect adults equally.
According to the CDC, 9.3% of children and 8% of non-institutionalized adults in the US have asthma. In 2010, asthma was estimated to have caused 1.8 million visits to emergency departments. These numbers are increasing every year.
At present, nobody knows what causes the majority of asthma cases or how to cure it. Treatment focuses on alleviating the symptoms, but this new research could prove to be a gateway toward improving what is known about the condition.
Sleeping on animal fur
Previous research into this area had indicated that exposure to a variety of different environments from a young age could help defend the body against the onset of asthma and allergies. These findings, however, had yet to be fully confirmed within a city environment.
Could exposure to animal fur while sleeping help protect babies from asthma and allergies? Could exposure to animal fur while sleeping help protect babies from asthma and allergies?
As a result, the researchers chose to investigate children from an urban setting who had been exposed to animal skin by sleeping on it for the first 3 months after birth. They used data from a German birth cohort that included over 3,000 newly born children predominantly recruited in 1998.
The researchers collected information on the health of the children until they reached 10 years of age. The study utilized data on a total of 2,441 children; of these, 55% slept on animal skin for the first 3 months of their lives.
They found that the risk of a number of factors connected with asthma was reduced for those sleeping on animal skin. Children who had slept on animal skin were 79% less likely to have developed asthma by the age of 6 than children who had not been exposed to animal skin.
By the age of 10, the risk of developing asthma had decreased further to 41%.
'A reservoir of microbes'
"Previous studies have suggested that microbes found in rural settings can protect from asthma," said Dr. Christina Tischer of the Helmholtz Zentrum München Research Centre.
"An animal skin might also be a reservoir for various kinds of microbes, following similar mechanisms as has been observed in rural environments. Our findings have confirmed that it is crucial to study further the actual microbial environment within the animal fur to confirm these associations."
Although observational, the study suggests a focus for future research. While we are still uncertain of what causes asthma and how it can be cured, research such as this and a study into newborn exposure to dirt and germs can help inform preventative strategies for both asthma and allergies.
The ERS International Congress this year runs from 6-10 September. The theme for this year's conference is "Breathe Clean Air." The ERS hope that the process of learning more about the quality of air will help people to protect themselves and their respiratory systems in the best way possible.
Previously, Medical News Today reported on a study that suggested that stress during pregnancy could be linked to the child's asthma risk. ||||| Baby Food From Beech-Nut Nutrition Recalled Due To Broken Glass In Jars (Photo : Flickr/Dustin Liebenow)

Previous studies have shown that exposure to a wider range of environments from a young age can actually help children protect themselves against asthma and allergies. While these findings haven't been confirmed conclusively in urban settings, this latest study just adds to the growing body of evidence.
In this case, scientists examined data from a German birth cohort, which included over 3,000 healthy newborns who were mainly recruited in 1998. The researchers collected information on exposure to animal skin during the first three months of life, along with information on the health of the children until the age of 10 years. In all, information on 2,441 children was used in this study, and 55 percent of those included slept on animal skin in the first three months of life.
So what did they find? It turns out that sleeping on animal skin was associated with a reduced risk of a number of factors connected to asthma. In fact, the chance of having asthma at the age of six was 79 percent lower in children who had slept on animal skin after birth compared with those who were not exposed to animal skin. The risk decreased to 41 percent by the age of 10.
"Previous studies have suggested that microbes found in rural settings can protect from asthma," said Christina Tischer, one of the researchers, in a news release.

Green Bay Packers fans will be able to watch Brett Favre ceremony at Lambeau Field
Updated FEB 27, 2015 2:00p ET
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- There has been somewhat of a compromise between Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame for his upcoming ceremony.
While Favre's induction will still take place on July 18 in the atrium in front of 1,600 sponsors, the Packers have decided to open the Lambeau Field bowl area for fans who want to attend.
Favre spoke with Greta Van Susteren on FOX News in early February and expressed his desire to not have his ceremony in front of a smaller gathering at the atrium area of Lambeau Field. Because sponsors claimed every ticket, they were never made available to the public.
"I would like to see, in my opinion, I would like to see us do it in the stadium," Favre told Van Susteren. "I think everyone should have a chance to go."
"I think everyone should have an option to go," Favre added. "What a better way to do it than at Lambeau Field. . . . There's nothing like Lambeau Field. And even though the atrium is right there, it would be nice to do it in the stadium."
Now, they can. Sort of.
For $4, fans can sit in the seats of Lambeau Field and watch the ceremony on the TundraVision video boards. Favre will address those in attendance later that evening, after he's concluded the actual ceremony.
"This viewing opportunity from the stadium will be a unique complement to a special evening and allow more people to share their excitement with Brett," Packers president/CEO Mark Murphy said in a statement.
The induction ceremony will also now be available to watch live on television and the team's website.
The ceremony will consist of Favre's No. 4 jersey being retired by the Packers and him joining the Packers Hall of Fame. Favre will then return to Lambeau Field for a yet-to-be-determined 2015 regular-season game to see his name and number unveiled on the north facade of the stadium.
Net proceeds from the Lambeau Field ticket sales will go to Favre4Hope.

Space radiation: Should frequent flyers worry?
Weâre bombarded with the radiation of supernovae and other cosmic sources when we fly â how concerned should we be?
One day, shortly before boarding a flight from Paris to Montreal, I began to think about the risks of flying for the first time. It was not the fear of engine failure or crashing into a mountain that worried me. Rather I realised I was about to make my 39th plane journey of the year, and as a result was exposing myself to higher than normal levels of radiation from space.
Like most holidaymakers, I had checked the weather forecast. But now, as I waited to board the plane, I wondered whether I and other frequent flyers should be more concerned with checking the space weather before we take off.
The Earth is constantly being bombarded by high speed, sub-atomic particles. These interact with the atmosphere and our planet’s magnetic field to generate cosmic radiation which rains down on us. Our exposure levels rise when we travel by plane, especially at higher altitudes and latitudes.
What do scientists know about the dangers that cosmic radiation might pose during regular flights, and is there anything that aviation authorities or passengers can do to minimise risk?
Cosmic radiation consists mainly of protons and helium nuclei that originate outside our galaxy. Scientists have long speculated over their origins, with likely candidates being powerful events such as star collisions, gamma ray bursts, black holes and supernovae – explosions that mark the death of large stars. Earlier this year US astronomers concluded supernovae were indeed a significant source of cosmic radiation hitting Earth. Particles thrown out by our Sun are another source.
These sub-atomic particles can be both low- and high-energy. Many are deflected by the Earth’s magnetosphere, without which cosmic rays would wipe out complex life forms pretty quickly by damaging tissue, DNA and causing lethal radiation sickness. Only very high-energy cosmic rays can reach our atmosphere at latitudes close to the equator, however lower-energy ones can reach polar latitudes.
Those that do penetrate the Earth’s magnetic shield collide with nitrogen, oxygen and other atoms in the air, generating highly energetic and invisible showers of ionised “secondary particles”, which cascade down on us in vast numbers, penetrating everything and everyone. The atmosphere provides good protection for those on the ground because particles hitting them will have undergone more collisions with atoms, but exposure is greater at high altitudes because the air is thinner.
What can this do to the body? Cosmic radiation is ionising, which means the particles involved are energetic enough to knock charged particles from atoms – potentially causing chemical changes in body tissue that can increase risks from cancers and genetic abnormalities.
While this might sound scary, it should be made clear that we are regularly exposed to low doses of ionising radiation in other forms with no apparent health consequences in the overwhelming majority of cases – from radon in the air, naturally occurring radioactive substances in the ground such as uranium, building materials and during medical procedures.
The risks of individuals suffering health effects as a result of being exposed to ionising radiation of any kind – whether from cosmic rays, a nuclear power plant, an X-ray machine, or airport full body scanner – are measured in sieverts or rems (1 sievert equals 100rem). “The same potential risks exist,” says Major Alan Hale at the US Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. “Health risk assessments are based on frequency, duration, and intensity level.”
The average person on Earth is exposed to around 350 millirems (mrem) per year. The average annual dose for US citizens is 620mrem , according to the US National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements. About half of this comes from man-made sources such as X-ray, mammography and CT scans, while the other half comes from natural sources, of which only about 9% comes from cosmic radiation.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The primary factor in avoiding H. pylori infection is to practice proper hygiene and good hand washing. You should wash your hands, especially after using the restroom, or before handling food. Wash your hands in the following manner: Use warm water ( 120 degrees) and 3-5 cc (roughly a teaspoon) of liquid soap. The soap does not have to be antibacterial. Wash for a total of 15-30 seconds. Eat a diet containing adequate proportions of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water. This will help you maintain good health. Having a strong immune system can reduce the risk of infection with many bacteria. Exact proportions vary based on weight,gender activity level, etc. But, caloric intake should be approximately 2000 calories per day, as a broad approximation. Get the majority of calories from fresh fruit and vegetables, legumes and grains, and low fat proteins. Even with a balanced diet, 67% of dieticians recommend dietary supplements. These supplements fill nutritional gaps that are not satisfied by food alone. Vitamin C in particular is important for a healthy immune system. Many physicians recommend about 500 mg per day. Be aware that vitamin C is acidic and can irritate the stomach. It's a good idea to take a buffered form of the vitamin or try to get it through foods. Good choices include cantaloupe, cabbage, citrus fruits, and red pepper. Because of its acidity, its a good idea to talk to your doctor about Vitamin C supplements you take if you are receiving treatment for H. pylori. Studies suggest H. pylori may be transmitted via saliva. If you know someone who has H. pylori, avoid saliva contact with them until it is confirmed that their treatment was successful. For example, if your spouse has H. pylori, avoid kissing him or her, and do not share a toothbrush. Especially when traveling to countries with poor sanitation, be careful about what you eat or drink. Consider drinking bottled water when visiting countries with poor water sanitation. Refrain from eating at any questionable or roadside food trucks, etc. Eat only in restaurants with sanitation standards similar to an American standard of sanitation. Kitchen utensils should be washed in hot water (as warm as you can safely tolerate) with antibacterial soap. Using hand sanitizer can also be helpful in these types of situations. Washing your hands with unclean water can do more harm than good.
SUMMARY:
|
Wash your hands frequently. Eat a balanced diet. Take Vitamin C. Avoid saliva contact. Take precautions when traveling abroad.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas -- A gun range employee cleaning a weapon accidentally shot and killed a man in Cypress, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
The shooting call was placed shortly after 9 a.m. Tuesday at the Hot Wells Shooting Range on Highway 290 near Barker Cypress.
According to the sheriff's office, the employee was cleaning a hunting rifle when it went off. The bullet went through a wall and then a window, striking a 36-year-old man who was walking into the range.
The victim was rushed to the hospital but was later pronounced dead.
Horses at a property adjacent to the Hot Wells Shooting Range got quite the scare Tuesday morning.
"We had two helicopters that were circling the property. They were focused over by Hot Wells, but the horses were acting a little squirrely with the large helicopter noises and all the extra wind," said Courtney Thornton, who trains and rehabs horses here at this facility on West Drive. She's ridden horses here since 2006.
"We had a horse that was out loose in the arena and the practice pen," Thornton said. "They were running back and forth down the fences probably wondering what was going on. I'm all for everybody being able to own a gun, to have a gun, but it is a little concerning being so close to shooting ranges just with those accidents happening--that's why you have to be safe."
Hot Wells has not commented yet on the incident.

© 2018 KHOU-TV ||||| As deputies gathered details at Hot Wells Shooting Range, employees reacted to news of 36-year-old Joshua Cummings' death."Just a terrible tragedy," Hot Wells employee Stacy Byrd said.According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, it all started when an employee was working on a hunting rifle. It went off in what they're calling an accidental discharge."The bullet went through the wall of the small range house and struck a patron who was walking through the parking lot," explained Senior Deputy Thomas Gilliland.Life Flight was called and Cummings was taken to Memorial Hermann Downtown, but he didn't make it. In a statement, Hot Wells said:"We simply do not have the words to express the sorrow in our hearts. For 44 years we have operated this facility accident free, yet today we are shaken by tragedy. There is an ongoing investigation into the circumstances that surround this accident, and until that investigation is complete we will have no comment on the accident details. We understand that this accident has, and will continue to affect the lives of many. We ask that our community joins us in prayer for the healing of all parties involved."Homicide detectives were interviewing all the employees and trying to determine if human error or a gun malfunction took Cummings' life. Regardless, it's a sad scene that will always stick with Byrd."I didn't really want to see that this morning," Byrd said. "I really didn't want to see that at all, ever."Cummings was employed by CenterPoint Energy.Company spokesperson Alicia Dixon issued the following statement: "Well-known for his kindness and intelligence, Josh Cummings was an employee at CenterPoint Energy and held many roles in both Electric and Natural Gas Operations in Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi. He was a respected colleague and friend to many at CenterPoint Energy. Josh will be deeply missed."He leaves behind his wife Kathleen and three children, who are triplets. ||||| Harris County authorities say a 36-year-old man walking toward a building that houses a suburban Houston gun range has been shot and killed after a rifle being worked on inside the building discharged.
Sheriff's spokesman Thomas Gilliland said the bullet from the hunting rifle went through a wall and struck the man who had just got out of his car.
A medical helicopter took the man to a Houston hospital where he died later Tuesday morning.
The victim has not been immediately identified.
KXAN-TV is reporting the shooting took place at about 9:15 a.m. Tuesday at the Hot Wells Shooting Range along Northwest Freeway and Barker Cypress Road.
Gilliland said the shooting appears to be accidental and "doesn't seem to be anything other than that at this point."
He said homicide detectives are questioning range employees and are trying to determine if the shooting was the result of a gun malfunction or human error.
Copyright Associated Press / NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth |||||Summary:
|
– A 36-year-old man walking toward a gun range was fatally shot Tuesday before he stepped inside. Joshua Cummings had just got out of his vehicle and was walking across the parking lot of Hot Wells Shooting Range near Cypress, Texas, shortly after 9am when a rifle accidentally discharged inside, reports KHOU. Police say a gun range employee in his early 20s had been cleaning a high-caliber hunting rifle when a bullet exited the chamber. "The bullet went through the wall of the small range house and struck [Cummings]," a Harris County sheriff’s deputy tells KTRK. He was flown to a nearby hospital in a helicopter but later died. A sheriff's spokesman says homicide detectives are questioning employees but the shooting appears to be accidental, per NBC 5. It's "just a terrible tragedy," a range employee tells KTRK, which identifies Cummings as a father. "We simply do not have the words to express the sorrow in our hearts," adds Hot Wells in a statement. "For 44 years we have operated this facility accident free, yet today we are shaken by tragedy." The range said it wouldn’t comment on "the accident details" until after an investigation is complete. (A man discussing church shootings accidentally shot his wife in a church.)

Back in 1992 Prince filed a patent for a custom-design keytar - a keyboard-guitar hybrid - known as the Purpleaxxe. The Purpleaxxe not only epitomised Prince’s glittery fashion sense, but was portable, allowing his keyboard player to rock around the stage. Photograph: USPTO & Brian Rasic/Rex Features

An example of a movie review. negative (OPTIONS:
- negative
- positive).
A: "The Bubble" is an effort to make a gay Romeo & Juliet type of story with an Israeli and a Palestinian, although it seems to come at it by way of "Friends" or "Beverly Hills 90210." The characters are shallow and trite as are the dialog and plot line. The movie seems torn between fluff and depth. On the one hand there is a pointed effort at being shallow as (in one example of many) some minor characters even ask questions that invite development of insight into the conflicts at hand, and get answers like, "Hey, we're here to make a poster for a rave against the occupation. Don't get political!" Beyond the obvious absurdity of such a line, it's just one of many ham-fisted signals that the movie is just as hollow and insubstantial as its title suggests. On the other hand, the movie's main pretension to depth follows the lovers to a presentation of "Bent" a play about gays in a Nazi labor camp. The scene on stage is awkwardly rushed, undermining its erotic power (understandable given the constraints of film-time, but still this could have been edited to much better effect.) and comes off as flimsily as the rest of the film. Too bad. This play deserves much better.
The characters are so one-dimensionally cartoony some even have names that telegraph their entire (though the word seems inappropriate here) substance. The aggressive soldier from the crack Golani brigade is named "Golan." The militant Palestinian is named "Jihad." The striving-for-chic faghag roommate is "Lulu." Anyone familiar with the checkpoints and life in Palestine, whether from real life or documentaries will find the checkpoint scenes as absurdly unreal as
well, the rest of this fluffy fantasy. When a Palestinian woman goes into the fastest labor on record Israeli soldiers are solicitous and helpful, an ambulance shows up in minutes. (The outcome of the birth serves to show the Palestinians as unappreciative of Israeli beneficence and even downright paranoiac.) Altogether the checkpoint is shown as a mere nuisance, not the series of bone-numbing, soul-crushing, humiliating obstructions with no regard for medical care or necessity in cases of birth, death, or severe illness. Ashraf, the Palestinian lover, seems to get through from Nablus to Tel Aviv with no problems, no papers, no hassles. He just shows up whenever he likes. When the Israelis want to get through it is much more of a challenge involving a scheme worthy of Lucy Ricardo.
Against the backdrop of nice, supportive Israelis and surly homophobic Palestinians we move to a resolution that is utterly lacking in motivation or purpose except as a painfully obvious dramatic device to milk sympathy for the forbidden lovers.
Gay Israeli-Palestinian romance has been handled on stage with much more skill and depth as in Saleem's "Salaam/Shalom" so this film is hardly even as groundbreaking as some people would like to think.
Gloriously bad films like the works of Ed Wood -- at least have some striking idiosyncrasy to distinguish them. This one doesn't even have that going for it. Most of the sound track sounds like Simon and Garfunkel on quaaludes, and even with the weird oedipal touches to the gay sex scenes, the general incompetence that pervades this movie plays out like a mediocre TV-movie-of-the-week.
Q: What's an example of a movie review?
An example of a movie review is here: Every Sunday, a trio of buds get together at a NYC diner to boast about their sexual conquests of the night before. Sometimes they're joined by a newlywed ex-comrade and hoochie hunter who hangs on them like a puling barnacle. They're unabashed horn dogs/corn dogs and Mia, who witnesses them on the prowl, decides that they need to be taught a lesson, dammit. Ergo, she'll date and dump - why not? All three of them!
Gasp. What a wild idea. What a radical, naughty gal. Women now have the right to date and sleep around as much as they want to. As much as men do, even!
There is one solitary laughable element in "Whipped" - namely the fact that not once, during the amigo's detailed discussions of their bodily functions and the tantric talents of the bed partners they trash, do the other customers in the diner turn around and say, "Dude, we're trying to EAT here." Indeed, a heh-heh gag has an older lady eagerly weigh in on the useful sexual properties of certain beverages. A big fat Kermit the Frog "Sheesh" to that.
It's truly unfortunate that a buddy movie with a great setting, a smart, cute heroine and three possible pairings had to have such a cop-out ending.
P.S. - 30 "whip-oosh" sound effects to the screenwriter for use of the phrase "You go, girl". It was tired in 2000, and it's tired now.
Save your time and watch some "Sex and the City" reruns...
Problem: Write a negative (OPTIONS:

Answer: Okay, I absolutely LOVE Ben Stiller, although I am lukewarm about Jennifer Aniston. I do not think this girl can act in the least. Every movie or sitcom I've seen her in is very hard to get past her fake acting. It sounds like she is just standing there reading right off the script. This movie only had one good thing about it, and that's that Ben Stiller was in it. This plot is so used and abused it's ridiculous. How many movies have this same type of plot?? Can we say "Forces of Nature??" Not only is the plot so old, but the outcome is so predictable, it's boring. I knew everything that was going to happen before it did. It was a bore, but watching Stiller is always a delight!!!

Answer: When i got this movie free from my job, along with three other similar movies.. I watched then with very low expectations. Now this movie isn't bad per se. You get what you pay for. It is a tale of love, betrayal, lies, sex, scandal, everything you want in a movie. Definitely not a Hollywood blockbuster, but for cheap thrills it is not that bad. I would probably never watch this movie again. In a nutshell this is the kind of movie that you would see either very late at night on a local television station that is just wanting to take up some time, or you would see it on a Sunday afternoon on a local television station that is trying to take up some time. Despite the bad acting, cliché lines, and sub par camera work. I didn't have the desire to turn off the movie and pretend like it never popped into my DVD player. The story has been done many times in many movies. This one is no different, no better, no worse.
Just your average movie.
An example of a movie review. negative (OPTIONS:
- negative

A: This was an absolutely terrible movie. Don't be lured in by Christopher Walken or Michael Ironside. Both are great actors, but this must simply be their worst role in history. Even their great acting could not redeem this movie's ridiculous storyline. This movie is an early nineties US propaganda piece. The most pathetic scenes were those when the Columbian rebels were making their cases for revolutions. Maria Conchita Alonso appeared phony, and her pseudo-love affair with Walken was nothing but a pathetic emotional plug in a movie that was devoid of any real meaning. I am disappointed that there are movies like this, ruining actor's like Christopher Walken's good name. I could barely sit through it.

Mann photographs the Alberta Rocky Mountains in a superb fashion, and Jimmy Stewart and Walter Brennan give enjoyable performances as they always seem to do.
But come on Hollywood - a Mountie telling the people of Dawson City, Yukon to elect themselves a marshal (yes a marshal!) and to enforce the law themselves, then gunfighters battling it out on the streets for control of the town?
Nothing even remotely resembling that happened on the Canadian side of the border during the Klondike gold rush. Mr. Mann and company appear to have mistaken Dawson City for Deadwood, the Canadian North for the American Wild West.
Canadian viewers be prepared for a Reefer Madness type of enjoyable howl with this ludicrous plot, or, to shake your head in disgust.

QUES: Tocqueville asserted that the values that had triumphed in the North and were present in the South had begun to suffocate old-world ethics and social arrangements. Legislatures abolished primogeniture and entails, resulting in more widely distributed land holdings. This was a contrast to the general aristocratic pattern in which only the eldest child, usually a man, inherited the estate, which had the effect of keeping large estates intact from generation to generation. In America, in contrast, landed elites were less likely to pass on fortunes to a single child by the action of primogeniture, which meant that as time went by, large estates became broken up within a few generations which, in turn, made the children more equal overall. It was not always a negative development, according to Joshua Kaplan's interpretation of Tocqueville, since bonds of affection and shared experience between children often replaced the more formal relation between the eldest child and the siblings, characteristic of the previous aristocratic pattern. Overall, in the new democracies, hereditary fortunes became exceedingly difficult to secure and more people were forced to struggle for their own living. This rapidly democratizing society, as Tocqueville understood it, had a population devoted to "middling" values which wanted to amass, through hard work, vast fortunes. In Tocqueville's mind, this explained why America was so different from Europe. In Europe, he claimed, nobody cared about making money. The lower classes had no hope of gaining more than minimal wealth, while the upper classes found it crass, vulgar, and unbecoming of their sort to care about something as unseemly as money; many were virtually guaranteed wealth and took it for granted. At the same time in America, workers would see people fashioned in exquisite attire and merely proclaim that through hard work they too would soon possess the fortune necessary to enjoy such luxuries. Despite maintaining with Aristotle, Montesquieu, and others that the balance of property determined the balance of power, Tocqueville argued that, as America showed, equitable property holdings did not ensure the rule of the best men. In fact, it did quite the opposite. The widespread, relatively equitable property ownership which distinguished America and determined its mores and values also explained why the American masses held elites in such contempt.

QUES: Tony Lama Co. said that Equus Investment II Limited Partnership has proposed changing the offer for the company to $13.65 in cash and stock from an all-cash transaction. Under terms of the new proposal, Equus, managed by Equus Capital Corp., Houston, would pay $12 cash and one new preferred share with a liquidation preference of $1.65 a share for each of Tony Lama's 2.1 million shares outstanding. Previously, it offered $13.65 a share in cash, or $29 million. The El Paso, Texas, maker of Western boots and leather accessories said the preferred stock would accrue dividends at a 12% rate, but wouldn't be paid for the first two years. The stock would be redeemed in five years, subject to terms of the surviving company's debt. Neither Equus nor Tony Lama gave a reason for the changed offer and Tony Lama couldn't be reached for comment. However, Tony Lama said it would promptly submit the offer to a special committee of the company's board.

QUES: IBM opened a sprawling and sophisticated semiconductor factory here on Wednesday that cost more than $2.5 billion to build and equip, the largest single capital investment the company has ever made. The factory, which opens as the computer chip business is in a slump, is a costly and risky move for IBM. But it is also an expression of confidence by the company that it can remain a technology leader in the highly competitive global semiconductor industry, and a commitment that the best place to execute that strategy is in upstate New York. IBM is an exception among computer makers in that it still invests heavily in research to advance the design, manufacture and materials used in semiconductor chips. It is spending more than $500 million a year on semiconductor research and development. The factory will produce a wide range of specialized semiconductors used in everything from the largest mainframe computers to cell phones and video-game consoles. The new plant is part of IBM's push to gain a strong lead in chip-making beyond the personal computer business, where Intel and East Asian chip producers hold the advantage. "The core of our strategy is to lead in technology and attack the high-performance segments of the market," said John Kelly, senior vice president in charge of IBM's technology group. An advantage to having the semiconductor fabricating factory here, Kelly explained, was that it was very close to its research laboratories in nearby Westchester County, N.Y. To stay ahead in advanced chip technology, he said, moving innovations out of the labs and into the factory as fast as possible is crucial. "What we call the lab-to-fab time should be as close to zero as possible," Kelly said. "If our strategy were anything but to be on the leading edge, we'd have put the plant in Asia." The new factory, which will begin normal production early next year, will employ about 1,000 people.

QUES: Tokugawa Takes All: When Hideyoshi died in 1598, he hoped to have his five-year-old son continue his "dynasty," initially under the tutelage of five regents. But one of the regents was Ieyasu Tokugawa, who had been biding his time at Edo for 12 years, nurturing dynastic ambitions of his own. Of the cunning, ruthless triumvirate that came out on top at the end of the country's century of civil war, Tokugawa was without doubt the most patient, the most prudent — and most treacherous. He moved quickly to eliminate his strongest rivals, crushing them in 1600 at the great Battle of Sekigahara (near modern Nagoya). During its subsequent two and a half centuries of rule from the new capital established at Edo, the Tokugawa organized a tightly controlled coalition of some 260 daimyo in strategic strongholds throughout the country. The allegiance of this highly privileged and prestigious group was ensured by cementing their ethical principles in the code of bushido, "The way of the warrior": loyalty to one's master, defense of one's status and honor, and fulfillment of all obligations. Loyalty was further enforced by holding the vassals' wives and children hostage in Edo. All roads into Edo, the most famous being the Tokaido Highway, had checkpoints for guns coming in and for wives going out. One of the most effective ways of keeping a tight rein on the country was to cut it off from the outside world, to keep Japan Japanese. At first, Ieyasu Tokugawa was eager to promote foreign trade. He wanted silk and encouraged the Dutch and British as good, nonproselytizing Protestants just interested in trade. But he didn't like the Portuguese and Spanish Catholic missionaries, who he felt were undermining traditional Japanese values. He banned their activities in 1612 and two years later ordered the expulsion of all missionaries and unrepentant Japanese converts. Executions and torture followed. Converts were forced to renounce their faith by trampling crucifixes and effigies of Jesus and Mary. The Catholic Church has counted 3,125 martyrs in Japan from 1597 (beginning under Hideyoshi) to 1660. In 1635 the Japanese were forbidden, on pain of death, to attempt to travel abroad, and Japanese citizens already overseas were prevented from returning, in case they brought back subversive Christian doctrines. Western books were banned, as were Chinese books that mentioned Christianity.

With a breezy sweep of his pen President Vladimir Putin wrote a new chapter into Crimea's turbulent history, committing the region to a future returned to Russian domain. Sixty years prior, Ukraine's breakaway peninsula was signed away just as swiftly by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. But dealing with such a blatant land grab on its eastern flank won't be anywhere near as quick and easy for Europe's 28-member union. Because, unlike Crimea's rushed referendum, everyone has a say. After initially slapping visa restrictions and asset freezes on a limited number of little known politicians and military men, Europe is facing urgent calls to widen the scope of its measures to target the Russian business community in particular. The logic of this is that those who run Russia and own it are essentially two sides of the coin. Alexei Navalny, one-time Moscow mayoral contender now under house arrest for opposing the current regime, called for Europe's leaders to ban everyone -- from Vladimir Putin's personal banker to Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich from keeping their money and loved ones abroad. Asset freezes and visa restrictions are especially palatable options for the EU because they can be rolled out on a discretionary basis, without requiring cumbersome legal procedures and recourse. In fact Russia cancels visas for people it doesn't like all the time. Just look at Hermitage Capital founder Bill Browder who lost both his right of entry and Moscow-based money in 2005 and dare not go back. Russia also banned the adoption of its orphans by Americans in retaliation for the US's implementation of an anti-corruption law named after Sergei Magnitsky, Browder's lawyer who died after a year in a Moscow detention center, apparently beaten to death. Yet in playing the 'money talks' card, Europe must be ready for the consequences of such action. Because money also walks. As such EU leaders must be ready to accept sanctions are a two-way street and will hurt both sides. Targeting Russia's peripatetic business community would be one way of sapping their tenuous support for President Putin. And such a strategy might also turn out to have a silver lining: awarding EU countries a chance to finally deal with some of the more unpleasant sides of their patronage, including money laundering and corruption, which have inflated prize assets like London property and Picasso paintings for years. Where Europe should hold fire though is trade. Two decades of post-Soviet rapprochement and almost $500 billion worth of commerce is a lot to put at stake. It's true that any trade war would hurt Russia far harder than it would the EU - not least because 15% of the former's GDP comes from exports to the bloc. But Europe - with its hefty reliance on Russian gas - would have a hard time keeping its factories going and citizens warm without power from the east. And while Putin flexes his political muscle, open trade channels keep the dialogue going giving all sides a chance to change the subject and talk less tensely. No one can afford to cut off that lifeline, especially now with Europe's economy on the rebound and Russia's one on the wane.

Why is Obama giving his economy speech at an Amazon warehouse?
FORTUNE — Amazon’s announcement that it is planning to create thousands of new jobs in warehouses across the country is good news. Thousands more Americans will be working, paying taxes, and shopping. It will pull some families out of poverty and keep some others from falling into it.
But the very fact that the announcement is being heralded as a big deal — and coordinated (at least in the media) with a speech on the economy by President Obama — is actually bad news. Amazon’s AMZN warehouse jobs do not in any way represent even a hint of a resurrection of the American economy. They represent only the continued slow, weak recovery from the latest recession. Structurally and in the long term, things still look grim. Nevertheless, Obama has chosen an Amazon facility as the site of his speech Tuesday, one of a series of speeches he’s giving to promote his efforts to spur the economy.
Amazon is opening new warehouses in a bunch of states across the country, creating 5,000 full-time warehouse jobs and 2,000 customer-service positions in both existing and new facilities. The company boasts that the jobs pay on average 30% more than retail jobs. Yes, 30% better than not great is good. But it’s far from great. The jobs pay between $11 and $13 an hour. That amounts to about $23,000 to $27,000 a year — just a little above the official federal poverty line for a family of four. It’s hard to know how many of the people taking the jobs will be supporting families solely on that income, but no matter what, it’s clear the jobs don’t represent the kind that are needed to put the country on a sound, sustainable economic footing. They are not middle-class jobs, or they shouldn’t be. It’s arguable whether they’re adequate as working-class jobs.
MORE: How the Publicis-Omnicom deal started as a joke
Amazon is doing nothing wrong here, of course, but it’s also not doing much to help rebuild the economy. The jobs are comparatively fairly decent. They include health benefits and stock grants to full-time employees that the company says average about 9% of workers’ wages. The positions are a net gain for the economy at least in the short term, but they are also a symbol of its underlying weakness. As our manufacturing base continues to erode, jobs like this, while welcome, fail to serve as a panacea.
So why is Obama using an Amazon warehouse as a stage setting for his speech on jobs? Amy Brundage, a deputy White House press secretary, said this to the Chattanooga Times Free Press: “The Amazon facility in Chattanooga is a perfect example of the company that is investing in American workers and creating good, high-wage jobs.” And: “What the president wants to do is to highlight Amazon and the Chattanooga facility as an example of a company that is spurring job growth and keeping our country competitive.”
As the Times Free Press‘ Mike Pare notes, the median household income in Chattanooga is about $37,000. The median for Tennessee as a whole is $44,000, or just short of double the lower end of Amazon’s pay rate for warehouse jobs.

The White House says Amazon's warehouses provide "high-wage" jobs. Not quite.
Ron Johnson Raises $50 Million For E-commerce Venture Enjoy
Enjoy Technology CEO Ron Johnson (Photo courtesy of Enjoy)
The man who built Apple's Apple's brick-and-mortar stores is back at it again. On Wednesday, former Apple executive and J.C. Penney chief Ron Johnson and his new online retailing company Enjoy Technology announced that they had secured $50 million in a round of funding led by Highland Capital.
The company did not disclose its valuation following the round, only noting that it had raised about $80 million to date.
“Since launching in May, we have been thrilled with the high-quality experiences we’ve been able to deliver for our customers, partners and employees,” said Enjoy CEO Johnson in a statement.
Currently available in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area, Enjoy allows consumers who shop on its site and partner sites to receive free hand delivery of their tech devices from experts, who can set up or install the products and train buyers on how to use them. Enjoy focuses on selling high-end consumer electronics. As of Wednesday, its site featured everything from GoPro cameras to DJI consumer drones to Sonos speakers.
Enjoy’s funding comes on the heels of the launch of Jet.com, which is attempting to compete with the world’s largest online retailer, Amazon.com Amazon.com, by promising lower prices. Enjoy is also looking to challenge Amazon in the high-end consumer electronics category by offering a potentially better sale and delivery experience in which a consumer can test and learn how to use a gadget.
“As devices become more complicated and intertwined, Enjoy’s vision for a revolutionized customer experience represents the next stage in disruptive commerce,” said Highland Capital Partner Peter Bell in a statement. “Enjoy not only solves a major problem for customers, but offers manufacturers a valuable new channel for meaningful engagement with limited overhead.”
Highland was joined in the round by the likes of existing investors Kleiner Caufield Byers & Caufield and Oak Investment Partners.

British-Algerian journalist dies after hunger strike
A British-Algerian journalist has died after staging a hunger strike in protest against a two-year jail term for offending Algeria’s president in a poem posted online, according to his lawyer.
“I can confirm the death of the journalist Mohamed Tamalt in Bab el-Oued hospital after a hunger strike of more than three months and a three-month coma,” Amine Sidhoum said on Facebook.
The prison service said in a statement Tamalt had died of a lung infection for which he was receiving treatment since it was detected on 4 December. He had been in hospital since the end of August. Tamalt, a dual national, launched the hunger strike on the day of his arrest near his parents’ house in the capital Algiers on 27 June, according to Human Rights Watch.
The 42-year-old blogger and freelance journalist, who ran a website from London where he lived, was charged with offending President Abdelaziz Bouteflika and defaming a public authority, in the poem he shared on Facebook. A court in Algiers sentenced him to two years in prison on 11 July and fined him 200,000 dinars (£1,400). An appeals court upheld the ruling a month later.
Amnesty International urged Algerian authorities on Sunday to open an “independent and transparent investigation into the circumstances” of the journalist’s death.
Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said it was shocked by Tamalt’s death which had dealt a blow to freedom of information in Algeria. “Why was there such a conviction just for words on Facebook which did no harm to anyone?” said Yasmine Kacha, head of the north Africa department of RSF.
HRW had urged Algerian authorities to release him in August when he was reportedly in critical condition. “The Algerian authorities should quash the case against Tamalt and send the message that free speech will be respected in Algeria,” it said at the time.

IN: School Superintendent Jack D. Dale defended Fairfax County's discipline policies
Fairfax Superintendent Jack D. Dale defended his school system's discipline policies Friday after an elected leader in Fairfax County linked two teen suicides to what she called a "zero tolerance" policy toward infractions.
Dale said that the Fairfax school district does not believe in zero-tolerance and never has. "We operate on the principle that students are given ample opportunity to correct their behaviors before serious consequences are applied," he wrote in a statement sent to members of the Fairfax County School Board and the Board of Supervisors. Dale was reacting to a board matter introduced jointly Tuesday by Supervisors Catherine M. Hudgins (D-Hunter Mill) and Penelope A. Gross (D-Mason).
The measure cited "zero tolerance" policies and discussed the student suicides and the needs of students and families. It asked staff members to look into ways the county and school system could "partner in addressing the disciplinary process." It also raised the question of whether school personnel are missing signs of student problems.
The discussion came nearly three weeks after Nick Stuban, a 15-year-old football player at W.T. Woodson High School, took his life at his Fairfax home. His family has said that, in Nick's experience with the disciplinary process, "his spirit was crushed." His death came 22 months after Josh Anderson, 17, who played football at South Lakes High School, committed suicide on the day before a second disciplinary hearing.
Hudgins wrote that "many parents and students are asking whether the Zero Tolerance disciplinary policy of [the school system] lacks the ability to recognize the emotional difficulties students experience and intervene with appropriate support."
In an interview, Hudgins said families had come to her with concerns. "What is stated to me often is that it feels like zero tolerance," she said. Her measure asked that parents and community groups contribute to talks on improving the disciplinary system.
Dale said it was "unconscionable and a blow to those who have already suffered great pain" for Hudgins to associate disciplinary actions with the teen deaths "for the purpose of furthering a falsehood." Dale said it would be most constructive to focus on the incidence of depression among youths in Fairfax County.

Q: 'Skyfall' finishes back in first place at the box office, becoming highest grossing movie in Sony's history
Daniel Craig stars as James Bond in 'Skyfall.'
James Bond renewed his license to thrill.
"Skyfall" surged back into first place in its fifth weekend, with $11 million — bringing its worldwide total to $918 million.
Daniel Craig's third turn as Agent 007 is the most successful installment in the 50-year history of the Bond franchise. And in the process, the movie has become Sony Pictures' highest grossing movie of all time, beating out "Spider-Man 3."
"I've never seen this exact trajectory on a movie — returning to first place after dropping out three weeks ago," said Paul Dergarabedian, box office analyst for Hollywood.com. "'Twilight' opened bigger, but 'Skyfall' has been building because of word of mouth.
"It's transcends being just a typical Bond movie, it's crossed over to fans who want to see a good movie that has some Oscar potential."
Meanwhile, Gerard Butler's new romantic comedy, featuring the hunky Scot as a soccer coach, scored the box office equivalent of an own goal.
The animated "Rise of the Guardians" climbed into second place in its third weekend with $10.5 million.
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" dropped from first place to third, but added another $9.2 million, proving there was still plenty of life left in the vampire romance saga after four weeks.
And Oscar buzz propelled Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" to a $9.1 million weekend. The film has grossed $97.3 million so far.
Newcomers will face the equivalent of another dragon to slay at the box office next weekend with Friday's opening of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," the first installment of Peter Jackson's prequel trilogy to "The Lord of the Rings."

– In June, ISIS did the barbaric: slaughtered scores of soldiers at a base on the outskirts of Tikrit. With the city newly liberated, Iraqi forensic teams have now begun the grim process of excavating suspected mass graves thought to contain some of the 1,700 soldiers ISIS claims to have killed at Camp Speicher. The AP cites an official with the country's Human Rights Ministry who says eight sites within the complex of presidential palaces are being worked on; Reuters puts the number of suspected mass graves at 12. Another official yesterday told Reuters that "initial indications show indisputably" that a handful of bodies recovered yesterday are those of Speicher victims, though DNA testing will be carried out to confirm this. The AP notes that one clip aired on Iraqi state TV showed unearthed skeletal remains still wearing combat boots. A CNN reporter on the scene describes decomposed bodies with their hands still tied together. In making its claim, ISIS released photos showing soldiers being led to trenches and then facedown in them before and after their execution. Other videos showed masked gunmen bringing the soldiers to a bloodstained concrete river waterfront, shooting them in the head, and tossing them into the Tigris. Previous reports have stated that if the number of dead is indeed 1,700, the massacre would rank as by far the largest atrocity in the country in more than a decade.
Let's expand this into a news article: BAGHDAD Iraqi forensic teams began on Monday excavating 12 suspected mass grave sites thought to hold the corpses of as many as 1,700 soldiers massacred last summer by Islamic State militants as they swept across northern Iraq.
The mass killings last June of Shi'ite soldiers from Camp Speicher, a former U.S. base outside the Sunni city of Tikrit, has become a symbol of the brutality of Islamic State fighters and their hatred for Iraq's Shi'ite majority.
The deaths showed Iraqis that the Islamic State fighters, who have also attacked ethnic and religious minorites as well as fellow Sunni Muslims opposing them, were a threatening new kind of foe.
The images of Shi'ite soldiers being machine-gunned in their hundreds, posted online by the jihadists, could rank as the deadliest single act of bloodshed during a decade of periodic sectarian war in Iraq.
The exhumation of burial sites on the late dictator Saddam Hussein's presidential compound came days after Islamic State militants were driven from the city by Iraqi forces and Shi'ite paramilitaries.
"We dug up the first mass grave site today. Until now we found at least 20 bodies. Initial indications show indisputably that they were from the Speicher victims," said Khalid al-Atbi, an Iraqi health official working with the forensic team sent to Tikrit.
"It was a heartbreaking scene. We couldn’t prevent ourselves from breaking down in tears. What savage barbarian could kill 1,700 persons in cold blood?" he asked.
Survivors of Speicher have described to Reuters their ordeal last June as the Iraqi military chain of command unraveled and Islamic State's Sunni fighters descended on Tikrit, rounding up Shi'ite soldiers for slaughter.
The victims' families, who often grow angry at Iraq's political class for failing to provide them proper answers, have wondered for months about the fate of their friends and loved ones.
"The only positive thing is the victory in Tikrit," said, Ali Hamad, whose cousin Kamal went missing at Speicher.
"We are happy. At least the families will soon know the fate of their sons and cousins," he said.

Tikrit, Iraq (CNN) Mass graves believed to hold Iraqi soldiers have been discovered in newly liberated Tikrit.
Up to 1,700 bodies may be recovered. ISIS claimed to have executed that many soldiers captured in June outside Camp Speicher, a fortified Iraqi base near Tikrit.
A total of 47 bodies have been exhumed from two of the 11 mass graves discovered in Tikrit, an Iraqi government official said Tuesday. Hundreds are believed to have been executed by ISIS in June 2014
Grieving Iraqis, apparently not related to the soldiers, gathered to pray over the bodies. When the first three bodies were found, 10 Iraqi soldiers saluted the dead by firing seven shots into the air. The national anthem was played while soldiers wept.
All the bodies were decomposed. Some had their hands bound, Damon said. The remains will be sent back to Baghdad for DNA tests to establish identify, said Ali Tahir, a director in the Iraqi morgue who was supervising the digging and extraction. |||||
– At least one of the bombs used in the Boston Marathon attacks had female DNA on it, investigators say, but that doesn't necessarily mean the bombers had a female accomplice. Officials gave a handful of alternate scenarios to the Wall Street Journal: A store clerk could have handled materials later used in the bomb, or a female hair could have innocently ended up on it. The Journal notes that FBI agents were seen leaving the home of Tamerlan Tsarnaev's in-laws today. Tsarnaev's widow, Katherine Russell, has been staying there since the bombings, and one official says the agents were there to get a DNA sample from her to see if it matches the one found on the bomb. Meanwhile, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has another lawyer. Judy Clarke, who was also on the defense team for Jared Loughner, has been appointed to join the three federal public defenders already assigned to Tsarnaev, Politico reports. That's because she has a lot of experience with death penalty cases; her appointment will probably lead some to speculate that she'll be able to negotiate a plea bargain with a life sentence rather than death, as she did for Loughner. The Atlantic Wire notes that Tsarnaev's attorneys have represented quite a few bombers, terrorists, and other well-known criminals, including Zacarias Moussaoui and the Unabomber.

Let's expand this into a news article: Accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has a new lawyer: a member of the defense team for Jared Loughner, the man convicted of killing six people at an outreach event for then-Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.) in 2011.
In an order filed Monday afternoon, federal magistrate Marianne Bowler appointed Judy Clarke of San Diego to join three federal public defenders from Boston assigned to Tsarnaev's case. Bowler noted Clarke's extensive experience in death penalty cases and the potential that prosecutors could seek the death penalty against Tsarnaev.
"In light of the circumstances in this case, the defendant requires an attorney with more background, knowledge and experience in federal death penalty cases than that possessed by current counsel," Bowler wrote in her five-page order (posted here).
The addition of Clarke to Tsarnaev's defense is sure to fuel speculation that Clarke will seek to do for the Boston bombing suspect what she helped to do for Loughner: negotiate a guilty plea and sentence of life in prison in exchange for prosecutors agreeing not to seek the death penalty. That task seems harder in a high-profile case where the crime generated widespread public anger and outrage. But Clarke has done just that in other cases.
"They're looking into the lens of life in prison in a box," Clarke said of her clients in a recent speech, according to the Associated Press. "Our job is to provide them with a reason to live."
The Boston federal defenders had also asked to add another defense lawyer, David Bruck of Washington & Lee University Law School in Lexington, Va., but Bowler rejected that request—at least for now. "An additional attorney at this time is neither necessary nor required," she wrote. The magistrate said Clarke had more federal death penalty experience and should be adequate to the task at least until an indictment is filed in the case.

Investigators have found female DNA on at least one of the bombs used in the Boston Marathon attacks, though they haven't determined whose DNA it is or whether its presence means a woman helped the two brothers suspected in the bombings, according to U.S. officials briefed on the probe.
In another development, Russian officials revealed details about contacts between the older brother and suspected Islamist radicals in the Caucasus, including Internet exchanges that led to concerns by investigators that he was trying to join up with jihadist fighters.
Speaking Monday about the DNA discovery, the U.S. officials cautioned that there could be multiple explanations for why genetic material from someone other than the two bombing suspects—Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother, Dzhokhar—could have been found on remnants of the exploded devices. It could have come, for example, from a store clerk who handled materials used in the bombs or a stray hair that ended up in the bomb.
Monday, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents visited the Rhode Island home of the parents of Katherine Russell, the widow of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. He died after a shootout with police four days after the April 15 bombings.
"The FBI is there as part of our ongoing investigation, but we aren't permitted to discuss specific aspects of the case," said FBI spokesman Jason Pack.
Ms. Russell has been staying with her parents since the bombings, and FBI agents have been seen posted outside the house since her late husband was identified as one of the bombers. Her lawyer has said she is "doing everything she can to assist with the investigation."

One official familiar with the case said agents went to the house Monday to collect a DNA sample from Ms. Russell, the culmination of days of negotiations. FBI officials also have been negotiating with Ms. Russell's attorney in recent days to gain fuller access to question her, the officials familiar with the case said. The officials said the DNA request was needed to determine whether it matched the DNA found on the bomb remnants.
Ms. Russell is one of as many as a half-dozen people in whom investigators are interested as they seek to determine if the brothers had any help in the bomb attack or the days afterward, the officials said. Ms. Russell's lawyer didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about the latest developments.
Investigators have no evidence that any of the associates of the brothers had knowledge of the bombing plot, and they believe that if anyone helped to dispose of evidence—a point that remains uncertain—it may have been unwitting, according to officials briefed on the investigation.
Related Defense Lawyer Has Background Of Capital Cases
Both U.S. and Russian authorities are trying to learn more about Tamerlan Tsarnaev's activities while staying in Russia from January to July of 2012. President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by telephone Monday and agreed to boost antiterror cooperation, officials on both sides said.
Two Russian government officials said Tamerlan Tsarnaev exchanged notes over the Internet with William Plotnikov, a boxer who moved with his parents from Russia to Canada before joining militants in the North Caucasus. And they said Mr. Tsarnaev met several times in early 2012 with Mansur Makhmud Nidal, an alleged militant from the Russian province of Dagestan and suspected jihadist recruiter. The meetings happened in a mosque in Dagestan's capital of Makhachkala known for its adherence to a puritanical strain of Islam, they said.
The Tsarnaevs' parents have denied their sons were involved in terrorism.

Mr. Nidal died in a firefight in Makhachkala last May after a five-hour standoff that ended with him throwing a grenade at police officials, according to Russian authorities. Mr. Plotnikov died two months later, in mid-July, during a raid in the hinterland of Utamysh, a village southwest of Makhachkala.
Mr. Tsarnaev was in the region at the time of both raids but left Russia for the U.S. three days after the second one. He left before picking up a Russian passport that had been prepared for him at the local migration office in Dagestan's capital.
"He intended to join the fighters, but he lost his contacts," one of the Russian officials said. "In the end he picked an easier enemy in Boston."
The Russian officials said it was unclear whether Mr. Tsarnaev and Mr. Plotnikov ever met in person. The parents of the two boxers say they don't recall any interaction between the two. There are no indications that the two men ever boxed together, and Russian officials haven't yet produced any of the online communication that they say exists.
A U.S. official said Russian authorities haven't shared any information about Mr. Tsarnaev related to contact with any suspected militants during his trip last year to Dagestan. Several U.S. officials, however, said they believe Russia has more information about Mr. Tsarnaev that hasn't been handed over.

A version of this article appeared April 30, 2013, on page A4 in the U.S. edition of The Wall Street Journal, with the headline: Female DNA Found on Boston Bomb. ||||| The team of public defenders now lined up to defend Dzhokhar Tsarnaev at his criminal trial are veteran defenders of a veritable rogue's gallery of criminal A-listers. Facing off against U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz, the prosecutor of Aaron Swartz, the Tsarnaev team should make these proceedings some one of the most spectacular on American soil in decades.
Despite assurance from Tsarnaev's mother that the family knew a "lawyer with a big oil company" who would find someone to represent her son, the court today determined that Dzhokhar would be publicly defended. A few members of his criminal team have been known since last week: William Fick (who represented him at his bedside hearing), Timothy Watkins, and Miriam Conrad. Fick and Watkins appear to have handled mostly local cases — Carmen "The Cheese Man" DeNunzio; a bodybuilding firefighter.
Conrad's track record is much more interesting. Among her clients:
Richard Reid
Reid was arrested in December 2001 after attempting to light a fuse on a bomb hidden in the sole of his shoe. He plead guilty to eight counts related to terrorism, including attempted murder. In 2003, he was sentenced to a life term at the Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado.
In 2006, the U.S. Attorney's office tried to interview Reid without an attorney present. Conrad filed a motion to block their ability to do so.
Rezwan Ferdaus
Ferdaus was arrested in 2011 by the Boston office of the FBI, accused of plotting to use remote-controlled planes to fly explosives into the Capitol and Pentagon. He plead guilty and is serving a 17-year sentence at a prison in Illinois. After the Boston bombing, Mother Jones magazine questioned if the FBI's focus on Ferdaus distracted them from Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
This afternoon, the team added another attorney: Judy Clarke, a specialist in helping clients avoid the death penalty, has an even more impressive client list.
Jared Loughner
In January 2011, Loughner shot and killed six people in a parking lot in Tuscon, also severely wounding Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. Last summer, he pled guilty to 19 counts related to the crime and was sentenced to life in prison.
Clarke took the case after many attorneys in Arizona recused themselves, due to a relationship with a judge who'd been killed by Loughner. She was present at Loughner's first hearing before a judge, during which he refused to enter any plea, simply smiling when asked how he wished to plead.
Zacarias Moussaoui
Moussaoui, the "20th 9/11 hijacker," was originally part of the plot to hijack airplanes on September 11th. After raising suspicions with the instructor at his flight school, the FBI was contacted. Moussaoui was arrested for violating immigration rules. After the terror attacks that year, Moussaoui was charged with — and plead guilty to — conspiring to commit an act of terror. For a period of time, Clarke was on his defense team.
Eric Rudolph
Rudolph, the long-time fugitive responsible for a series of bombings across the South, is best known for planting a bomb in Centennial Olympic Park during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. After his arrest in 2003, Rudolph faced the death penalty. With Clarke as his representation, he eventually accepted a deal for four consecutive life sentences. He is serving those terms in the same prison where Richard Reid is being held.
Susan Smith
Smith was at the center of a notorious case in South Carolina. A mother of two, Smith claimed that a black man stole her car and kidnapped her children, who were eventually found dead in a car in a nearby lake. Eventually, Smith confessed to having let the car roll into the lake herself, killing her children. Smith was found guilty and is now serving a life sentence.
After Clarke took the case, the state of South Carolina banned the hire of public defenders from outside the state.
Theodore Kaczynski
Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, sent a series of mail bombs to university professors, executives, and business owners. From 1978 to 1995, Kaczynski sent over a dozen bombs as part of his effort to undermine the advancement of technology in the United States. After the FBI published his anti-technology manifesto, his brother turned him in to the FBI. Kaczynski agreed to a plea deal that spared him the death penalty; he, too, is housed in the Supermax prison in Florence Colorado.
Clark and Conrad face a tough opponent in their most recent high-profile case: U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts, Carmen Ortiz. Ortiz's aggressive prosecution of accused hacker Aaron Swartz prompted enormous outcry, including a petition to the White House that she be removed from office which was signed over 55,000 times.

Creating a visual display of your goals and positioning it where you can look at it throughout the day is a big motivator. If you don’t keep your goals in front of your eyes, it’s easy to forget them or justify procrastinating. Get creative with your board. You can make a basic 2D collage with magazine photo cutouts, or you can give the board dimension by adding small toy versions of your favorite healthy things—soccer or basketballs, pompoms, even play food like your little brother or sister has in their play kitchen. Write your #1 goal in large letters in the center, something like, “To be fast enough to score a goal.” Make sure that your goal is not a number on the scale or a clothing size. Your goal should be about how you want to feel or what you want to be able to do when you are fit. Post a picture of yourself when you were fit and happy, or when you were accomplishing a big physical feat like scoring a goal or winning a race. You can create a virtual inspiration board by “pinning” inspiring images, websites, and articles that you find on the internet. This way, you can easily flip to the board on your smartphone and scroll through it to get fitness ideas or get excited about exercising. Include images of your favorite strong women, like Serena Williams or Carly Lloyd. Include quotes like, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent," by Eleanor Roosevelt. You can also draw your goals in a journal or diary (or paste magazine clippings on the pages). This journal can become a mobile inspiration board that you can open instantly no matter where you are. If you like to draw, this creative journal can be a great way to combine fitness with your other interests. Share your goals with your parents as well. You do not have to share your journal with them, or tell them every single detail. Just make sure to clue them in on what you are working on so that they can encourage you and help you to make sure your goals are realistic. Reading articles about getting fit may also help to motivate you. Check out online fitness magazines, like Shape. Even without a subscription, you can read articles about exercise, fitness, and nutrition. Learn as much as you can about how to eat properly and exercise to get fit and stay motivated. Watching videos about how other people have transformed their bodies may also help to motivate you. You can search for things like “transformation story” or “weight loss journey” to find these types of videos.

Q: Most often, the sensation of ear pressure isn’t a blockage at all but a brief dysfunction of the Eustachian tube in your middle ear. You can force this tube open to equalize the pressure in your ear with various easy steps, including: Yawning Chewing Swallowing Trying to exhale through your nose while pinching your nostrils closed For sinus congestion that leads to ear pressure, you can also help reduce the pressure by simply staying hydrated. Fluids help to thin the mucus causing the pressure. Try to drink at least eight cups of water each day. By adding an additional pillow and keeping your head elevated, you make it easier for your sinuses to drain properly. This will help to reduce ear pressure. Try heating a towel and then placing the towel over your ear for several minutes. You can also place a cup over the portion of the towel covering your ear to help trap the heat. If the pressure is due to sinus congestion, you can also take a hot, steamy shower. This will help to thin and drain the mucus plugging your sinuses, which will help to relieve the pressure.
A: Equalize the pressure in your ears. Stay hydrated. Sleep with your head elevated. Put a warm compress on your ear. Take a hot shower.
Article: If you see that food has been spilt on a toy or that it got dirt on it when your child was outside, take the initiative. Any sign of dirt or grime is an indication that the toy could be carrying disease. Your child—and by extension you—will never be well if they go back to playing with the same toys that they were using when they came down with a cold. Anytime your child seems to be showing a case of the sniffles or diarrhea, assume the worst and start sanitizing everything they have come in contact with. If other kids have come over to play, they have likely touched the toys. In the process, they could have spread illnesses from their house. Clean up immediately after a play date. Even if nothing in particular has prompted you to clean your baby’s toys, you need to clean at regular intervals. Planning for a monthly cleaning is a good rule of thumb. It can be easy to forget about big toys, like dollhouses, but these need regular cleanings too. Clean the surface and insides of larger toys. Clean the surface of the toys with your chosen disinfectant. Then, wipe away the solution and allow the larger toys to air dry.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Clean when you notice dirt or grime. Clean after your baby has been sick. Clean after your baby has visitors. Clean at least once a month. Remember the big items.
Article: Your foal will be more comfortable being weaned in an environment that it is familiar with. About 3 to 4 days before you wean your foal, move it and its mother into a large pen. Keep them in this pen as much as possible, only moving them inside to sleep if need be. It’s best to wean 2 or more foals at the same time, so the foals can keep each other company as they are weaned. Remove 1 mare from its foal at a time, waiting at least 1 day before removing the next mare. This will prevent your foals from panicking at the same time and stressing each other further. Once the foal has adjusted to the pen, lead its mother to a new pen or stable far away. Make sure that they cannot hear or see each other, otherwise, the foal will attempt to find its mother and may end up hurting itself. It may help to feed your foal with some hay or creep feed while you move its mother to a different pen. This will keep it distracted and may stop it from panicking as much once it realises it is being weaned. Each foal will respond to being weaned differently. Some may panic for only a few minutes, where others may take up to a day to calm down. Watch your foal to make sure it cannot escape from the pen or hurt itself on the fence. Feed it as you normally would and allow it to calm down naturally before introducing its companion to the pen. Check the edge of the fence for loose nails or anything else that could hurt your foal before weaning it. It will likely spend a lot of time near the edges of the pen trying to find its mother. Once the mother and foal have been separated from each other, it will take around 1 month for the mother to stop lactating and the foal to adjust to being on its own. Give both horses plenty of time to adjust to their new living style before reintroducing them. If you bring the mother and the foal back together before the foal has been properly weaned, you’ll just need to wean them again. Make sure the mother has stopped lactating and the foal has adjusted to being apart from its mother before reintroducing them.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
|
Leave your mare and foal in a field for 3 to 4 days. Take the mare out of sight and earshot of the foal. Give the foal time to calm down before introducing its friend or nanny. Keep the mare and foal separate for around 1 month.
