(CNN) -- An Indiana man told police he "messed up" by killing a woman in Hammond, then came clean, leading them to several more bodies in nearby Gary, Hammond Police Chief John Doughty said Monday. Doughty stopped short of calling Darren Deon Vann a suspected serial killer, but left the possibility open if police are able to connect the convicted sex offender to any of the six women found in Gary over the weekend. "If we directly attach him to it, we can make that assumption," he said, adding that Vann's statements lead authorities to believe there are "possible other victims." Some cases may date back 20 years, based on what Vann has told police, the chief said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Documents that baseball historians have called the Magna Carta of the game have sold at auction for nearly $3.3 million.
SCP auctions says the 1857 papers called the "Laws of Baseball" sold early Sunday to an anonymous buyer after more than two weeks of bidding.
The auction house had predicted prior to the auction's April 7 start that they could sell for more than $1 million.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Daniel Lucius "Doc" Adams may never be a household name like baseball's imagined inventor Abner Doubleday or basketball's actual inventor James Naismith. But a newly verified set of documents, titled "Laws of Base Ball," sold at auction early Sunday for nearly $3.3 million, go a long way toward lifting him to legendary status.
They lend him credit for the distance of the base paths at 90 feet, the length of the game at nine innings and the size of a team at nine players, all in 1857, three years earlier than previously thought. Here's a closer look at baseball's new-old daddy.
___
THE FACTS OF HIS LIFE
"Doc" was not just a colorful nickname. He was an actual physician, whose father was also a doctor. He was born in 1814 in Mont Vernon, New Hampshire, and went to Amherst College and Yale University as an undergraduate before moving on to Harvard Medical School. He first went into practice with his father in his hometown before setting out on his own in Boston, then New York. He practiced medicine and played baseball simultaneously into the 1860s, when he married, had five children and served as a Connecticut state legislator.
___
DOC ADAMS AND BASEBALL
As a member of the New York Knickerbockers Base Ball Club, he was as close as one could come in the mid-19th century to being a big leaguer. He began playing a primitive version of baseball in the 1830s. He was the game's first shortstop, because he invented the position, which at the time served primarily as a relay thrower from outfielders because the balls didn't fly far. He played every other position on the field except pitcher at various times, too, batted left-handed, and made the balls the club used. It's difficult to know who baseball's best players were at the time, but his prominence and longevity suggest he was one of them. Adams served several stints as president of the Knickerbockers, which in 1857 hosted a convention of 14 New York-area clubs to codify the rules of the game. It's the decisions of that convention that led to the recently verified documents, and to the game we now recognize as baseball.
___
THE UNCLE OF BASEBALL
Adams' central role has gone largely unacknowledged, but he was far from a new name for early-baseball historians. He might have been called an "uncle" of baseball. His importance has been increasingly championed since 1980, including by John Thorn, the official historian of Major League Baseball. Thorn said newspaper accounts from the time and other historical evidence have suggested Adams' importance, but his central role remained somewhat speculative until now.
___
BASEBALL'S DISPLACED FATHER
Alexander Joy Cartwright, Jr., a contemporary of Adams who had also served as president of the Knickerbockers, has been credited with the 90-foot base paths, nine inning games, and nine players on a side, including on his 1938 plaque at the Hall of Fame. A 1953 declaration of Congress made similar statements. However, he was not in New York and was not involved in the 1857 meeting that established the rules. Hall of Fame spokesman Brad Horn said there are no plans to change or remove Cartwright's plaque, and that a sign at the Hall lets visitors know that plaques represent the best information available at the time of induction.
___
WHAT ABOUT ABNER DOUBLEDAY?
Generations of children wrongly learned that Doubleday, a prominent Civil War general, invented baseball. In the early 20th century he was given official credit for coming up with the first schemes for playing baseball in 1839 in a cow pasture in Cooperstown, New York, which would lead to the Hall of Fame's establishment there. But Doubleday made no claim to inventing baseball, and left no documents on the game demonstrating his contributions, though his name will likely forever be attached to it.
___
WHY ARE THESE DOCUMENTS SURFACING NOW?
The owner paid a healthy $12,000 for them in 1999 knowing they were old sporting documents, but their central significance to baseball didn't become clear until he took them last year to SCP auctions, which thoroughly analyzed and verified them. The 1857 papers that baseball historians have called the Magna Carta of the game sold to an anonymous buyer after more than two weeks of bidding, according to the auction house.
SCP had predicted prior to the auction's April 7 start that they could sell for more than $1 million.
___
WILL THE HALL OF FAME ACKNOWLEDGE ADAMS' ROLE?
Adams was on the Hall of Fame ballot for 2016, but baseball's Pre-Integration Era Committee only gave him 10 of 16 votes and he needed 12. The new documents and the attention they are receiving may prove to be what he needs for induction and acknowledgment. |||||

CHAPTER XIX
DEFEAT OF THE ENGLISH
The explosion of the musket had been so unexpected that for the moment Dave and Henry hardly knew what had happened. Dave felt something hit him on the bottom of his left cheek and putting up his hand withdrew it covered with blood. Henry, too, was hit by a flying fragment of the gun barrel which clipped off a lock of his hair. Poor Barringford lay like one dead.
Before Dave could recover the Indians were on them, whooping as if their very lives depended upon it. One threw a tomahawk at Dave, but the aim was poor and the weapon buried itself in the log which had sheltered our friends.
But just at this moment, when all seemed lost, the battleground shifted and instantly thirty or forty English red-coats burst from the woods directly behind the Indians. A volley rang out and four of the redmen pitched forward, shot through the back. Other bullets hit the log behind which our friends lay, but Dave, Henry, and Barringford were not touched.
Attacked so unexpectedly from a new quarter, the Indians appeared dazed. They attempted to turn upon the English soldiers, but when two more were laid low, they fled to one side, where there was a dense growth of walnuts. The soldiers at once made after them, and another skirmish took place in the forest.
"Are you hurt much, Sam?" asked Henry, when he had recovered sufficiently to speak.
"I--I reckon not," was the gasped-out answer, after a long silence. Barringford opened his eyes and gazed ruefully at the gun stock which lay at his feet. "Busted! Well, by gum! Didn't think Old Trusty would do it nohow. Ain't ye ashamed?" And he shook his head dolefully. He had carried the firearm for many years, as our old readers know, and to have it "go back on him" like this hurt him more than had the explosion.

Problem: What will happen to stocks if we go over the cliff
FORTUNE — For months the predictions for what would happen if we go over the fiscal cliff have been bordering on horrific. The Congressional Budget Office says the chance of recession is 100%. Moody’s says it will be much harder for companies to issue debt. PIMCO’s CEO Mohamed El-Erian says our children are all but guaranteed to be worse off than us.
Based on that, it seems like going over the fiscal cliff would be an absolute disaster for stocks. Yet the market reaction has been mostly a shrug. Even Friday, with the news that Boehner and Obama look farther than ever from a deal with just days to go before the end of the year, the Dow Jones industrial average was down less than 200 points. Not great. But not really the type of market move you expect if we are headed for a recession. Even after that drop the S&P 500 SPX is still up 13% this year.
One interpretation is that investors still don’t think we will go over the cliff, or not completely. That’s been the predominant line of market strategists for a while now. Markets aren’t rational. We could still wake up one day, January 2 perhaps, and the market will be headed toward a 1,000 point fall. And I guess you can still believe that, but the number of days you can stick with that analysis are dwindling.
MORE: Fiscal cliff? What fiscal cliff? No evidence in jobs numbers
Here’s another possible explanation: Not much will happen to the market if we go over the fiscal cliff.
In general, the market’s direction is determined by two things — earnings and the value that investors are willing to put on those earnings. Lots of things go into the valuation — perception of risk, future earnings growth, interest rates, to name a few. But the biggest impact of the fiscal cliff will be on earnings. And it will be bad. But, surprisingly, this is not as bad news for stocks as you would think. That’s the upside of a our slow growth economy. Earnings don’t matter nearly as much as they used to.
Most market strategists expect about 2% growth from earnings, about 2% from inflation, 2% from dividends and 2% from a higher price-to-earnings multiple. Many of them expect the market to return around 6%-to-8% for 2013. Take away earnings, and the market could still be up around 6%. Expect earnings will go down 4%, and stocks are still likely to produce a 4% return. Compare that to bond yields. There’s really nowhere for investors to run.
Here’s the flip side of that: The idea that stocks will soar if we do end up getting a fiscal cliff deal is probably bogus as well.
MORE: Wall Street experts: What will do well in 2013?
Back to the second thing that pushes stock prices: valuation. One of the many things that factor into that is political risk. Stocks in emerging markets are able to go up a lot even with huge political risk, because of growth. Earnings matter more in those markets. Unfortunately, in the U.S. we have the opposite: a growing risk of political instability at a time when political risk, because of the slow growth, matters more.
Throughout the 2000s, even after the deflation of the dot-com bubble, the S&P 500 used to fetch a price-to-earnings ratio of around 20. Now 15 is the new normal. Amazingly, that change didn’t happened during the financial crisis or right after. The real dip came in mid-2011, around the debt ceiling standoff, when the p/e ratio, for the first time in more than two decades, fell to as low as 13.50. It’s rebounded, but stick to around 15 ever since. The good news is that stocks already took their lumps based on Washington’s new normal two summers ago. The bad news is that the market is not going to be healed anytime soon.
Write a one or two sentence summary.
Summary: The market might have a good reason to be shrugging off the fiscal cliff.
Get Vaccinated Or . . . Be Terminated?
A large health care group in northern Michigan is taking every precaution when it comes to keeping patients safe by issuing an ultimatum for employees: Get a flu shot by Dec. 31 or get fired.
This report has a lot of people up in arms, but before you cry civil rights, let’s take a look at the facts.
Even though doctors, nurses and other health care professionals across the country are ordered to get vaccinated against hepatitis and tested for tuberculosis on a regular basis, compliance is always very poor — not to mention, hard to enforce. As someone who has worked in this environment for over 30 years, I know for a fact that hospital administrators are constantly looking into personnel files and reminding employees that they have to comply with these mandatory tests.
The difference with the flu vaccine is that it is encouraged but not yet mandated in many hospitals. But the truth is, we know that any city can get overrun with flu admissions to their hospitals and urgent care centers. Many of these patients require isolation, making it so that the nurse, doctor or phlebotomist that treats them could become a carrier of the virus to other non-infected patients.
It makes all the sense in the world to me, that anybody who has contact with patients, should have all the necessary vaccinations — including the flu shot. But the key issue in this case is that if employees don’t get vaccinated, they will lose their jobs.
So the question is: What about the individual’s right to refuse such a requirement? Well, my answer, in short, is that the hospital administrator has the right to make flu shots mandatory.
When a health care professional involves him or herself in patient care, that professional is no longer acting as an individual. Rather, he or she is acting as part of a collective group of medical professionals that contribute to the improvement of patients’ health.
It’s mandatory that medical professionals who treat patients in hospitals, clinics or private practices have the proper training and licensing credentials — not to mention the qualifications for utilizing invasive technology. So why then, should it not also be mandatory that patients be protected from health care professionals potentially passing on diseases to them?
The argument that individual right is placed in danger, does not apply when it comes to performing the duties that we swore an oath to do: “First, do no harm.”
summary: A large health care group in northern Michigan is taking every precaution when it comes to keeping patients safe by issuing an ultimatum for employees: Get a flu shot or get fired. And I have to say, as a doctor in practice for over 30 years, I think it's fair
Input: STX Offshore Sale Hits a Hurdle
SEOUL—The sale of STX Offshore & Shipbuilding Co. hit a hurdle Friday as a bankruptcy court handling the case disqualified a bidder aiming to scoop up the South Korean company’s assets.
A U.K. investment fund, which earlier this month submitted a letter of intent to buy STX Offshore’s assets, including shipyards in Korea and abroad, dropped out of the bidding because it couldn’t demonstrate how it would fund the deal, a judge and...

Q: Soldiers On Lockdown After 'Sensitive' Military Equipment Is Stolen From Washington Base
FORT LEWIS, Wash – More than 100 soldiers were on lockdown Sunday after "sensitive" military equipment was stolen from a base in Fort Lewis, Wash.
The soldiers were put on lockdown Wednesday after items such as scopes, night vision goggles and range finders went missing from Joint Base Lewis-McChord over the holidays, myFOXSpokane.com reported.
Lewis-McChord spokesman Matt Hinkle said Saturday that the army was carrying out a criminal investigation into the 4th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division after the "sensitive" items went missing, The News Tribune reported.
"They'll be on base until the items are found," Hinkle, who estimated the company contained about 100- 200 soldiers, said. "This is the unit's property that's come up missing."
"We're going to continue to conduct this investigation as thoroughly as possible," I Corps spokesman Lt. Col. Gary Dangerfield added. "We will get to the bottom of this matter."
Neither Hinkle nor Dangerfield confirmed exactly what pieces of equipment were missing but Dangerfield said that many military items including night-vision goggles and military ID cards were considered "sensitive," according to the newspaper.
Family members were allowed to visit the soldiers for the first time Friday, myFOXSpokane.com reported.
Officials are offering a $10,000 reward for the return of the equipment.

Q: Investors Buy TIPS Funds After Trump
Exchange-traded funds focusing on Treasury inflation-protected securities, or TIPS, have seen record inflows in November due to expectations that inflation will pick up in a Donald Trump presidency.
The iShares TIPS Bond ETF (TIP) has seen flows of $700 million since early November and $5 billion year-to-date. Some of the money is coming from corporate-bond ETFs, such as iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG), as asset allocators rotate from credit into TIPS.
Analysts expect U.S. economic growth to pick up under the new president, bringing higher interest rates and inflation. Antoine Lesne, head of SPDR ETF research and strategy EMEA at State Street Global Advisers, says, “Inflation is coming back, not roaring for sure, but it has pushed higher as 2015’s oil-price declines are disappearing from the year-over-year figures.”
He says inflationary risk is more centered on the U.S. than the euro market, and recommends a look at TIPS.
Charles Schwab Corp. reports strong interest in its TIPS ETFs. The flows for Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF (SCHP) were $283 million and year-to-date, they are $684 million—almost three times the amount that flowed into the ETF all of last year. Schwab says the inflows corresponded to the rise in inflation expectations.
Patrick Maldari, senior portfolio manager at Aberdeen Asset Management, says the futures market is pricing in a 100% probability that the Fed will raise interest rates at its Dec. 13-14 meeting. He says the market is sorting out the implications of President-elect Trump.
He says growth will be above where it has been in the last several years but capped by concern about global trade, meaning a slight rise in the inflation rate.

Q: How can I cover my gray hair?
By Ayren Jackson-Cannady, Real Simple
updated 8:56 AM EST, Fri November 11, 2011
Getting your gray hair colored by a professional is easier than trying to cover it yourself.
(RealSimple.com) -- If gray hairs are sprouting long before you're ready to embrace them, you're not alone. According to a recent British survey, about 32 percent of women are under 30 when they find that first gray strand. A bottle of hair color isn't always enough to send it undercover: Gray hair is stiffer and drier, making it difficult to mask. (There's a reason it's called "stubborn.")
Real Simple: 4 real-women beauty makeovers
Why Does Hair Go Gray?
As new hairs form and grow, pigment-producing cells called melanocytes inject them with color (a.k.a. melanin), turning them blond, brown, or red. Melanin production slows as we age; when it comes to a complete halt, we go entirely gray.
Real Simple: 10 ways to score big savings at the salon
For some people, it never totally stops. That's why a 40-year-old might have a full head of grays and an 80-year-old might have salt-and-pepper strands. Experts have mixed opinions about whether melanin production is determined solely by genes, but the majority agree that genetics plays a role.
Real Simple: Expert tips on hair coloring
For the most part, everyone will get gray hair -- there will just be differences in when and how much. A little comfort: "Technically, your hair isn't turning gray," says Eric Spengler, the senior vice president of research and development at the hair-care company Living Proof.
"What we call 'gray hair' is just hair that lacks pigment. It's the contrast of that noncolored hair against the rest that gives it a clear, grayish cast." Eventually, science may offer a way to beat back that silver: Researchers at New York University Langone Medical Center, in New York City, have pinpointed the mechanism that can make black mice gray. But until there's some breakthrough that applies the discovery to humans' mousy grays, here are some lower-tech camouflage strategies.
Real Simple: Long-lasting beauty solutions
If you have fewer grays than pigmented strands, coloring at home is the easiest, most inexpensive option. For the best results, Nikki Ferrara, a colorist at the Sally Hershberger salon in New York City, recommends using two boxes of permanent color: one that matches your natural color and one that's a shade darker.
Real Simple: Make your beauty treatment last
Apply the darker one from your roots down an inch or two, and continue with the lighter shade to your ends. Since grays are the most translucent (read: hardest to color) at the roots, you need a darker shade to cover them sufficiently. If you have more grays than pigmented strands, your best bet is to see a pro for bold, lasting color.
Salon colorists can pretreat grays with a peroxide solution before beginning the color process. This softens them, making the cuticles more receptive to absorbing color molecules. Whichever method you choose, you'll want to protect your color: Moisture loss and harsh detergents can accelerate fading, so look for products that are formulated to protect hair color. Here are three to try: Garnier Fructis Style UV Color Shield Anti-Humidity Hairspray, Infusium 23 Color Defender Shampoo, and Living Proof Restore Mask Treatment.

Output: Thank you to my Yelpers for steering us to this gem! I am not a coffee girl, but ordered the hot caramel latte with almond milk based on the reviews. My husband loves ginger and ordered the ginger chai latte with almond milk. We had also ordered palli (vegetarian) sandwiches w/handmade chips from Local Loaf. The guys at Not Just Coffee run it like a walk-up bar. They are all full of personality and so helpful even while they are super busy. We got our drinks in about three minutes. They were beautiful. The caramel latte was fcuking amazing!!! My husband loved his ginger chai latte so much, he drank it and ordered the other masala chai for comparison. After enjoying that one and sharing a taste with me, he got another ginger chai latte to go. I royally enjoyed the caramel latte but ordered another of the masala chai lattes to go and sipped it all along the walk back to our hotel. It was spicy delicious but not in a hot way but rather a "you can taste the melange of spices" way that was flavorful but not overdone. Will definitely have this anytime I am in Charlotte. If you don't, you are missing out.

Output: Fret of all I'm not a big fan of tours but we were in Vegas and had a free day to visit Hoover dam. Decided to do tour instead of rent car when found a deal on travelzoo. Picked us up at 845 for a 1030 tour which made it a little bit longer than expected. We were bussed to a hub locale where we were ticketed and drove on to dam. Driver very knowledgeable and engaging. Hoover tour was great and plenty of time to do tour and get back to bus. Next stop was a buffet lunch at railroad crossing casino. Buffet was so so, but good salad bar and filling. Next stop was chocolate factory which was not running much today at this time on a Sunday. Got back to hotel before 6 and got a lot info for rest of stay in Vegas. Would recommend and would do another tour with these folks.

IN: Curtis Mayfield was born on June 3, 1942 in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Marion Washington and Kenneth Mayfield, one of five children. Mayfield's father left the family when Curtis was five; his mother (and maternal grandmother) moved the family into several Chicago public housing projects before settling in Cabrini-Green during his teen years. Mayfield attended Wells Community Academy High School before dropping out his sophomore year. His mother taught him piano and, along with his grandmother, encouraged him to enjoy gospel music.
Curtis Mayfield was known for introducing social consciousness into African-American music. Having been raised in the Cabrini-Green projects of Chicago, he witnessed many of the tragedies of the urban ghetto first hand, and was quoted saying "With everything I saw on the streets as a young black kid, it wasn't hard during the later fifties and sixties for me to write my heartfelt way of how I visualized things, how I thought things ought to be." Following the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, his group the Impressions produced music that became the soundtrack to a summer of revolution. It is even said that "Keep On Pushing" became the number one sing along during the Freedom Rides. Black students sang their songs as they marched to jail or protested outside their universities, while King often used "Keep On Pushing", "People Get Ready" and "We're A Winner" because of their ability to motivate and inspire marchers. Mayfield had quickly become a civil rights hero with his ability to inspire hope and courage. Mayfield was unique in his ability to fuse relevant social commentary with melodies and lyrics that instilled a hopefulness for a better future in his listeners. He wrote and recorded the soundtrack to the 1972 blaxploitation film Super Fly with the help of producer Johnny Pate. The soundtrack for Super Fly is regarded as an all-time great body of work that captured the essence of life in the ghetto while criticizing the tendency of young people to glorify the "glamorous" lifestyles of drug dealers and pimps, and illuminating the dark realities of drugs, addiction, and exploitation. His work influenced many, and it is said that Mayfield truly introduced a new style of black music. Mayfield, along with several other soul and funk musicians, spread messages of hope in the face of oppression, pride in being a member of the black race and gave courage to a generation of people who were demanding their human rights, without abandoning the struggle for equality. He has been compared to Martin Luther King, Jr. for making a lasting impact in the civil rights struggle with his inspirational music. By the end of the decade Mayfield was a pioneering voice in the black pride movement, along with James Brown and Sly Stone. Paving the way for a future generation of rebel thinkers, Mayfield paid the price, artistically and commercially, for his politically charged music. Mayfield's "Keep On Pushing" was actually banned from several radio stations when riots began flaring up in some cities. Regardless of the persistent radio bans and loss of revenue, he continued his quest for equality right until his death. His lyrics on racial injustice, poverty and drugs became the poetry of a generation. Mayfield was also a descriptive social commentator. As the influx of drugs ravaged through black America in the late 1960s and 1970s his bittersweet descriptions of the ghetto would serve as warnings to the impressionable. "Freddie's Dead" is a graphic tale of street life, while "Pusherman" revealed the role of drug dealers in the urban ghettos.
QUESTION: What is the best quality of Curtis liked by people?

Q: 1. It does, however, have two things going for it: outstanding punch-ups and Jet Li.
2. Jet Li is a formidable talent and has plenty of charisma, but it's the rest of the cast (or most of them) whose performances are stilted...no shortage of martial arts action in a variety of extended contest scenes
3. The Terminator flicks also favored world peace but didn't pause the action for nearly an hour to rub it in.
4. Serves as a rousing, philosophically high-minded reminder of the actor's glory days.
5. has lofty ambitions but lacks the necessary talent.
6. Touted as his last foray into martial-arts movies, Fearless finds Jet Li bowing out with a stunner.
7. Not only is it a gripping, beautifully acted drama, but the action scenes are jaw-dropping.
8. Significantly, the movie breaks the standard revenge model of the martial arts film genre to embrace the grace and restraint that underlines the philosophy of wushu (the comprehensive term for martial arts that means 'avert fighting' or 'stop war').
9. Fearless is a rather conventional costume biopicbiopic that still manages to pack a satisfying emotional punch by its final reel.
10. A grandiose spectacle that will remind any martial arts fan why they love the genre so much.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?
A: Consensus: Fearless is a brilliantly choreographed, beautifully filmed endcap to Li's quarter decade of epic martial arts glory.
1. 88 Minutes should have been 86ed.
2. Pacino feels like a bankable source to disguise mediocrity but a dud is a dud and Avnet is wholly indifferent
3. At times it's almost like Pacino has been lured into a Bobby Bowfinger production except the best blackmail material around to get his permission for release is 88 Minutes itself.
4. The only mystery here is why Pacino would have chosen to lend his talents to a project of an artistic level that most people would more readily associate with the likes of Michael Pare about ten years ago or Robert De Niro today.
5. If only the film actually ran 88 minutes instead of 108, the many glaring logic loopholes might have whizzed by without notice. But like a bad apple, that extra 20 minutes of wasted film has rotted the rest.
6. A skilled director could take the same exact script from 88 Minutes, change maybe three or four lines, and shoot it as a spoof movie. It's that close to self-parody.
7. While the actual ending does give audiences a reason to cheer, it's the final fade out that will make viewers the happiest. It means this tepid terror is finally over.
8. ...it is mildly entertaining to see Pacino in a role where he has obviously been encouraged to turn it up, to become a wild-eyed, roaring self-parody
9. Even a viewer with incredibly low expectations will be staggered by its badness.
10. 88 Minutes is a guilty pleasure, which shouldn't be confused with serious moviemaking.
Consensus: 88 Minutes is a shockingly inept psychological thriller that expertly squanders the talent at hand.
Q: 1. All About Steve struggles mightily to find its loony essence. But Bullock's apple-cheeked larkishness is all flailing limbs and bug-eyed reaction shots -- there's no there there.
2. Normally the core message of being true to yourself is a virtuous one, but when 'yourself' is quite literally THE MOST ANNOYING PERSON IN THE WORLD, the opposite is true.
3. One is tempted to feel bad for the usually likable Bullock -- who looks fantastic here, we must note -- but she's one of the film's producers, so she can't be too ashamed of herself. I am embarrassed for her, however.
4. It's a celebration of brazen nonconformity centered on an insufferable flibbertigibbet who makes the worst case for nonconformity imaginable.
5. I'm not sure who Kim Barker is, or what her credentials are. But she has written two of my least favorite screenplays within the last two years.
6. One might be tempted to call it perfectly dreadful if it didn't seem inappropriate to utter the word 'perfect' anywhere within miles of it.
7. . . . really all about Sandra Bullock.
8. Sandra Bullock plays a stalker in unappealing romcom.
9. It's dreadful.
10. Sandra Bullock give it that old college try but the movie still flops
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?
A: Consensus: All About Steve is an oddly creepy, sour film, featuring a heroine so desperate and peculiar that audiences may be more likely to pity than root for her.
1. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is one big, fat guilty pleasure.
2. [Smith's] funniest movie yet.
3. One big inside joke where you're rewarded in huge laughs if you know the info.
4. Budgeted at $20 million, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back contains many remarkable things for a Smith movie.
5. It's not by any means a good movie. But Jay and Silent Bob is one heck of a good laugh.
6. A plodding infomercial, pushing everything from graphic novels to Smith's old DVDs; it all amounts to product placement for View Askew merch.
7. About one-third of Jay and Silent Bob doesn't play at all.
8. Not since South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut have we seen this high a concentration of gross-out gags, expletive-laced one-liners, homosexual jokes and bodily function humor -- and all shaped by Smith's intelligence and wit.
9. A low-brow comic masterpiece with something to tickle and offend everyone.
10. The movie dribbles and drags in patches, which is supposed to be OK since it's stoner humor, but Smith has it in him to do much better.
Consensus: Fans can expect a good laugh as the cast from Smith's previous films reunite for Jay and Silent Bob's last bow. The loose plotting and crude language may be too much for others though.
Q: 1. The film confirms director Audiard as a master of visual mood, in this case one of barely expressed emotional panic.
2. A French movie that reclaims some of the urgency and breathless enthusiasm of the movies we loved in the '70s.
3. It's a tense, jumpy, sometimes amusing work that posits the inherent duality of everything. And, most definitely, the intriguing duality of people.
4. Duris' performance is more finely tuned and less frenetic than Keitel's enjoyably over-the-top job, and the film's emotional chords resonate in more satisfying and complicated ways.
5. The lead performance by Duris is interesting in the way that he reminds us of Keitel's performance (at times the resemblance between the two is uncanny) while still finding a new and unique approach to the character.
6. With 2005's The Beat That my Heart Skipped joining Read my Lips, Jacques Audiard is asserting himself as a powerhouse in the new wave of French directors.
7. Takes an excellent film that was very much a part of its time and place and re-imagines it as an excellent film that is very much a part of this time and this place.
8. The conceit of a strongarm hoodlum doubling as a concert pianist seemed really silly to me back in 1978, and it seems no less silly today.
9. A French film that takes the hard-boiled poetics of American noir and squeezes them into an explosive, compacted knot of anguish and violence.
10. The Beat That My Heart Skipped, in which Audiard has tightened the story while opening it up, works precisely where Fingers failed.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?
A:
|
Consensus: Stylish and visceral, this able remake is infused with realism, grit, and a taut performance by star Romain Duris.

Susan Feldman and St. Ann’s Warehouse Unveil a Permanent Home
It is hard to separate St. Ann’s Warehouse from Susan Feldman.
She was there at the very beginning, hired by the New York Landmarks Conservancy in 1979 to help find another use for St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn Heights, a small parish with a historic past where she oversaw the restoration of its stained-glass windows and began to develop arts programming.
She has been there ever since as artistic director, steadily building the institution into a renowned performing arts center that presents productions from all over the world — like the National Theater of Scotland’s “Black Watch” and the Irish play “Misterman” — shepherding the theater from one temporary location to another.
And now on Tuesday, Ms. Feldman will unveil St. Ann’s first permanent home, having overseen a hard-earned renovation of the Tobacco Warehouse in Dumbo, Brooklyn.
“I feel like we’re finishing the job I started 36 years ago,” Ms. Feldman said, sitting in the industrial, hip new 320-seat theater during a recent interview.
After a series of opening events, the season starts with an all-female “Henry IV,” set against the backdrop of women in prison, a production with the Donmar Warehouse of London directed by Phyllida Lloyd — the kind of bold fare that has been a staple of St. Ann’s programming.
Next up will be “The Last Hotel,” a new opera by Donnacha Dennehy and Enda Walsh; “Labapalooza!,” from St. Ann’s puppet lab; “Nice Fish,” which Mark Rylance stars in and wrote with the poet Louis Jenkins; “A Streetcar Named Desire,” featuring Gillian Anderson; and “Bianco,” a circus from Wales, which will erect its tent under the Brooklyn Bridge.
CreditAlex Welsh for The New York Times
With a mop of curly hair and an easygoing warmth, Ms. Feldman, 66, doesn’t immediately come across as a theater maverick. Indeed, she essentially backed into the arts. Having grown up in the countercultural 1960s, she started out working in alternative education programs after graduating from New York University’s uptown campus in the Bronx.
In her therapeutic work with former criminals and addicts, Ms. Feldman started using plays and music, which led her toward the arts. Then she started working with Gene Frankel, the director and acting teacher and, in finding new space for him, connected with the conservancy, which enlisted her as a consultant for St. Ann Church.
“When I walked into St. Ann’s, something clicked for me,” she said. “It was the perfect combination of history, culture, beauty and inspiration.”
As she thought about new uses for St. Ann’s, Ms. Feldman consulted with two theater experts — Harvey Lichtenstein at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Joseph Papp of the Public Theater — both of whom encouraged her to develop arts programming in the church.
Artists who have worked with her say that Ms. Feldman has developed a fierce doggedness with which she travels the globe, bringing back daring work.
“She responds right from the guts,” Ms. Lloyd said. “It’s not about: ‘Is this a star vehicle? Is it commercial?’ It’s just about, ‘Is this going to change lives?’ ”
St. Ann’s operations are modest compared with other major New York arts institutions — its annual budget is $3.5 million and will grow only slightly in the new building to $5 million, because of increased operating staff and programming. (The theater, which used to present from October to May, can now do so year-round; “We have air conditioning,” Ms. Feldman said, triumphantly).
The cost of the renovation was also relatively low: $31.6 million, about $16 million of which came from the city. Tom Finkelpearl, the city’s cultural affairs commissioner, said that it was money well spent.
“The thing at St. Ann’s that’s been lacking is long-term continuity in one space,” Mr. Finkelpearl said. “They’ve landed in a perfect place that fits in terms of the cultural life of Brooklyn. The many different ways it can be configured is really important — this is going to be able to have small, medium and large events.”
The pliancy of the space was essential to Ms. Feldman — keeping the Civil War-era warehouse wide open, using curtains to adjust the stage into different shapes and sizes. “We wanted to recreate that same flexibility that seemed to be the thing that made St. Ann’s useful for the last 36 years in New York,” Ms. Feldman said.
This amounted to a tough mandate for the architect, Jonathan Marvel. “It takes a very special designer to not design,” Ms. Feldman said.
Mr. Marvel also had to contend with St. Ann’s interest in preserving the 1850s brick walls. “The primary challenge,” Mr. Marvel said, was “how to be respectful of that inspired 19th-century artifact and create a flexible, enclosed 21st-century performance machine.”
For Ms. Feldman, the surroundings have fed the work — whether it was the Brooklyn Heights church or the other two buildings St. Ann’s has occupied. “I always loved this idea of taking spaces that had their own character and using them as theaters,” she said.
In 2000, the organization left the church to go out on its own, moving into a temporary rent-free space at 38 Water Street, where St. Ann’s Warehouse theater opened in 2001.
“We were only going to be there for nine months,” Ms. Feldman said. “We stayed 12½ years.”
In 2011, despite having won the right to build in the Tobacco Warehouse at 45 Water Street, St. Ann’s was stymied by a federal-court case in which a few preservation and community organizations contested a decision by the National Park Service to remove the Tobacco Warehouse from classification as federally designated parkland and allow it to be developed. “I know everyone is fighting for what they believe in,” Ms. Feldman said at the time. “We’re just heartbroken. And a little desperate.”
So St. Ann’s signed a three-year lease for an interim space at 29 Jay Street, moving there in June 2012, where it remained during the Tobacco Warehouse renovation.
Artists say they are looking forward to bringing their projects to St. Ann’s new home. “I would just hope to work there as often as I can,” said Mr. Rylance, whose play opens in February. “It’s one of those theaters that has a family feel.”
Ms. Feldman hopes to maintain that feel — by offering snacks at a concession operated by the popular Brooklyn restaurant Vinegar Hill House, turning the adjacent triangular portion of the warehouse into a park and renting out space for community events. The building turned out just as she had hoped.
“It’s like a life accomplishment,” she said. “You look back on it and say, ‘So this is what your life was,’ and that’s a great feeling, but kind of a poignant feeling, as well.”
“If I want to know what I’ve done for the last 36 years,” she added, “this is what I’ve done.”
An article on Monday about St. Ann’s Warehouse, the performing arts organization that is moving into its first permanent home, in Brooklyn, and its artistic director, Susan Feldman, misidentified, at one point, the organization that hired Ms. Feldman in 1979 to help find another use for St. Ann and Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn Heights. As the article correctly noted elsewhere, it is the New York Landmarks Conservancy, not the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. The article also misidentified the first production of the season. It is an all-female “Henry IV” — a hybrid of Shakespeare’s “Henry IV, Part 1” and “Henry IV, Part 2” — not “Henry V.”

input: Article: Ontario court justice Bernd Zabel made the remarks during a misconduct hearing that could possibly see him removed from the bench.
Mr Zabel briefly wore the red campaign cap into his courtroom the day after the 2016 US presidential election.
The Ontario Judicial Council received 81 complaints about his conduct.
"I'm not a Trump supporter," Mr Zabel told the four-person disciplinary panel looking into those complaints on Wednesday.
"I find it very difficult to find the words to express my profound regret for what I did that day."
Mr Zabel described to the panel how he came to don the Donald Trump campaign hat in the Hamilton courtroom on 9 November in a fug of fatigue after staying up late to watch the results.
He said he had ordered five of the caps online in June thinking it would be "entertaining to have some historic memorabilia" from the election.
Mr Zabel, who appeared sombre and was wearing a charcoal pinstriped suit and patterned blue tie, described Mr Trump's win as "an almost surreal experience" and thought wearing the cap would "add a little humour" and "lighten the proceedings" in the courtroom that day.
He walked in wearing the cap and then placed it on the dais until morning recess, when he returned it to his office.
Returning to court briefly in the afternoon, an attorney quipped to him: "You lost your hat".
He replied: "Brief appearance for the hat. P***** off the rest of the judges because they all voted for Hillary. I was the only Trump supporter up there but that's OK".
A few days later, after the incident made headlines, he apologised in open court and said donning the hat was not meant as an endorsement of the US president's policies.
Complainants, including the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund and 27 law professors from the University of Windsor - Mr Zabel's alma mater -say the veteran judged breached principles of impartiality and objectivity and broke rules regarding the prohibition on partisan political activity.
Multiple complaints received by the council noted that the public apology he made on 15 November regarding his conduct was not consistent with the comment he made in court that afternoon about being a Trump supporter.
Mr Zabel said it was a poorly worded comment about how he had come to believe that Mr Trump could win in the weeks before the election - a prediction his fellow judges did not share.
On cross examination, presenting counsel Linda Rothstein pushed Mr Zabel on his choice of words on 9 November, noted the Trump hat could be tied to racism and bigotry, and asked whether he considered that many people felt devastated by the election results.
"I wasn't thinking it through," Mr Zabel conceded.
Mr Zabel also received 62 character references and letters from colleagues and others expressing their support for the judge and praising his integrity.
Ontario court justice Marjoh Agro appeared as a character witness for her colleague on Wednesday.
"I remember that day well because quite frankly I deeply regret not ripping that hat off his head," she said.
Mr Zabel stopped being assigned cases on 21 December, which Ms Agro said has caused "a lot of disruption" at the courthouse and has strained resources. She said she retains confidence in him as a judge.
"I didn't have concerns then and I don't have them now, other than the misjudgement of wearing a stupid hat into court," she said.
The Ontario Judicial Council investigates complaints about the conduct of provincially appointed judges.
Mr Zabel faces a number of possible sanctions, including being issued a warning or reprimand and suspension. The panel could also recommend to the attorney general that the judge be removed from office.
The disciplinary panel reserved judgment on Wednesday.

input: Article: The City of London Corporation and mayor of London have pledged a total of £180m towards the £250m project.
The museum first announced its plan to move from its current location last year, citing a lack of space at its Barbican site.
A planning application will be made in 2018 and the museum hopes to open its new home to the public in 2022.
Converting the disused general market at Smithfield - next door to the meat market - would create 1,700 new jobs, the museum has said.
It expects to spend much of the £250m binging the derelict Victorian buildings back into use. It will also give the museum a street-level entrance for the first time.
The City of London Corporation will donate £110m to the museum, while City Hall has pledged £70m.
The donation will be funded by a Corporation of London loan to City Hall repayable over 25 years, a spokesman for the mayor said.
The remaining £70m needed will be raised by the museum from donations from the private sector, charitable foundations and individuals.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the project would be "a jewel in our crown" revealing 2,000 years of London's history while rejuvenating West Smithfield and protecting its heritage.
The new museum hopes to see visitor attendance double from one million people a year to more than two million.
The site will also allow the museum to display more of its collection of over 6 million items.

Question: (CNN) -- Branden Grace stepped up his bid for back-to-back tournament wins by taking a four-shot lead at the halfway stage of the Volvo Golf Champions tournament at The Links at Fancourt Friday.
The 23-year-old South African carded a seven-under-par 66 to set the pace on 12-under 134 after two rounds.
Compatriot Thomas Aiken, who shot 70, and England's Lee Slattery, who raced up the field with a best-of-the-day 65, are his nearest challengers.
European Ryder Cup captain Jose Maria Olazabal of Spain showed he is still a force at 45 with an impressive 68 to be alone on fourth on 139.
Grace only received an invitation to the 35-strong champions-only field by winning last week's Joburg Open and has seized his opportunity in fine style.
He was paired with first round leader Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium, who crashed to a 76 to fall six shots off the pace.
Home favorite Ernie Els, fellow three-time major winner Padraig Harrington of Ireland and reigning British Open champion Darren Clarke of Northern Ireland are eight shots off the blistering pace being set by Grace.
Meanwhile, Colombia's Camilo Villegas and David Toms of the United Stages led after the first round of the PGA Tour's $5.6 million Humana Challenge in California.
Villegas carded his nine-under 63 on the Nicklaus Private Course and Toms matched him at La Quinta Country Club.
South Korean rooke Bae Sang-moon was in the chasing group on 64 with Ted Potter, Brandt Snedeker and Bob Estes.
Toms played with star attraction Phil Mickelson, who struggled to a two-over 74 after a triple-bogey seven at the par-four 14th, on the toughest of the three courses used for the tournament. 1. Who was ahead in the Volvo tournament initially?

Hosmer was in position during the seventh inning of Wednesday night’s game against Tampa Bay to catch the liner off the bat of Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier, but the ball had other ideas. Kiermaier hit the ball so hard it went right through the webbing of the normally reliable Hosmer’s mitt, and left the first baseman dumbfounded.

It was carrying oil owned by Libya's National Oil Company. U.S. Navy SEALs boarded the Morning Glory last weekend in waters southeast of Cyprus at the request of authorities in that country and Libya.

Input: After a tough road loss to the Ravens, the Steelers went home for a game against the Dolphins. They would score first as Ben Roethlisberger found Emmanuel Sanders on a 5-yard pass for a 7-0 lead. The Dolphins managed to get on the board as Caleb Sturgis kicked a 30-yard field goal making the score 7-3. In the 2nd quarter, Charles Clay caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Tannehill as the Phins took the lead 10-7 at halftime. After the break, the Dolphins went right back to work as Daniel Thomas ran for a 4-yard touchdown making the score 17-7. The Steelers then came within 3 when Roethlisberger found Antonio Brown on a 43-yard touchdown pass making the score 17-14 and would eventually score again when Troy Polamalu picked off Tannehill and returned it 19 yards for a touchdown as they retook the lead 21-17. The Dolphins however moved back into the lead as Tannehill found Brian Hartline on a 4-yard pass for a 24-21 score. In the 4th quarter, Roethlisberger found Jerricho Cotchery on a 16-yard touchdown pass as they moved ahead 28-24. Clay then caught a pass from Tannehill making the score 31-28 as the Dolphins retook the lead. They would stop scoring after Sturgis kicked a 27-yard field goal for a 34-28 lead. Under a minute to go in the quarter, the Steelers got the ball back with Roethlisberger throwing to Brown and then Brown running for what seemed to be the game-tying (and eventually game-winning touchdown and PAT), but officials reviewed the play and it was determined that Brown had stepped out of bounds during the run ending the game dropping the team to 5-8.
Question: Who caught the longest TD pass?
Input: On 28 January the PPS and the Social Democracy of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania called for a general strike; over 400,000 workers became involved in strikes all over Poland, a strike that lasted for four weeks. This was only a prelude to an even larger series of strikes that rocked Poland over next year. In the years 1905-1906 close to 7,000 strikes and other work stoppages occurred, involving 1,3 million Poles. Protesters demanded both improved conditions for workers and more political freedom for the Poles. By February, students at Polish universities had joined the demonstrations, protesting russification and demanding the right to study in Polish language. They were joined by high school students and even some from the elementary schools. While the Russian government gave in and agreed to some concessions towards the Polish nationalist movement , many - particularly the workers - were still unsatisfied. In some places in Poland, the school strikes lasted for close to three years. Major demonstrations occurred on May 1 , and about 30 people were shot during a demonstration in Warsaw. Later that month, for a time, public order disintegrated in Warsaw during a spontaneous campaign against the criminal elements as well as Russian collaborators.
Question: Which was longer, the general strike or the school strike?
Input: Charleston has a humid subtropical climate , with mild winters, hot, humid summers, and significant rainfall all year long. Summer is the wettest season; almost half of the annual rainfall occurs from June to September in the form of thundershowers. Fall remains relatively warm through the middle of November. Winter is short and mild, and is characterized by occasional rain. Measurable snow only occurs several times per decade at the most however freezing rain is more common; a snowfall/freezing rain event on January 3, 2018 was the first such event in Charleston since December 26, 2010. However, 6.0 in fell at the airport on December 23, 1989, the largest single-day fall on record, contributing to a single-storm and seasonal record of 8.0 in snowfall. The highest temperature recorded within city limits was 104 °F on June 2, 1985, and June 24, 1944, and the lowest was 7 °F on February 14, 1899. At the airport, where official records are kept, the historical range is 105 °F on August 1, 1999, down to 6 °F on January 21, 1985. Hurricanes are a major threat to the area during the summer and early fall, with several severe hurricanes hitting the area—most notably Hurricane Hugo on September 21, 1989 . The dewpoint in June to August ranges from 67.8 to 71.4 °F .
Question: How many degrees does the dew point range between in July and August?
Input: Coming off their dominating divisional road win over the Raiders, the Broncos played their Week 2 home opener against the AFC West foe, the San Diego Chargers. In the first quarter, Denver was first out of the gate as FB Michael Pittman got a 1-yard TD run. The Chargers would respond with kicker Nate Kaeding getting a 34-yard field goal. In the second quarter, Denver replied with QB Jay Cutler completing a 3-yard and a 14-yard TD pass to TE Tony Scheffler. San Diego would immediately respond with RB Darren Sproles returning the kickoff 103 yards for a touchdown, yet the Broncos replied with rookie kicker Matt Prater getting a 52-yard field goal. The Chargers would strike as their lead as QB Philip Rivers completed a 48-yard TD pass to WR Chris Chambers, yet Denver retaliated with Cutler completing a 6-yard TD pass to WR Brandon Marshall. In the third quarter, San Diego started to rally as Rivers completed a 15-yard TD pass to Chambers, and Kaeding kicked a 21-yard field goal. In the fourth quarter, the Chargers took the lead with Kaeding's 28-yard field goal and Rivers' 66-yard TD pass to Sproles. Fortunately, the Broncos responded with a 12-play, 80-yard drive (which included a controversial officiating call that turned a Cutler fumble into an incomplete pass) that was capped off with Cutler's 4-yard TD pass to rookie WR Eddie Royal, followed by Cutler's successful 2-point conversion pass to Royal. Brandon Marshall's 18 receptions would become a single-game franchise record and tie for 2nd most in league history.
Question:

How many yards longer was Kaeding's longest field goal compared with his shortest?

Paris (CNN) -- Paris is home to tens of thousands of Africans who have added the tastes, sounds and look of home to the city's cultural mix. The majority come from the Francophone North African countries of Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, but there are also communities from Mali, Congo, Guinea, Senegal, Burkina Faso and across the continent. According to the 2009 census, the 1.9 million population of Paris includes 30,000 with Algerian nationality, 21,000 Moroccans, 15,000 Tunisians and 54,000 with other African nationalities. There are also many people who were born in Africa and now have French nationality, and French nationals with African-born parents. Many other Africans live in Paris without documentation and do not appear on official records.

Article: A great way to begin building accountability at work is seeking feedback from the people you work with. Depending on what your job entails, specifically regarding your position in a hierarchy, you can seek feedback from those above you, those on your level, and those under you. Your job may already have specific performance standards in place which are reviewed periodically by supervisors, but you can show your boss that accountability is important to you by actively seeking extra feedback about your performance. You might seek feedback regarding a specific project or assignment you recently finished, or you might want get a general idea for how you are doing. It’s also good to seek feedback from the people you work with day to day, even when they have no power or authority over you. You need to know whether the people you work with can count on you or not. Be sure to ask questions that are specific to get the feedback you desire. For example, you might say something like, "I worked really hard on that presentation, but I'd love some feedback on where I could improve. Do you have any input?" As a manager, or any upper level position, you don’t want to make all the decisions on your own and never ask how people feel you are leading. Approach subordinates in the right way so you don’t seem like you lack authority. Just be genuine and tell those below you that you want to know how they think you are doing at your job. Try creating an anonymous survey that you can distribute to your employees. This may provide you with more honest feedback because they will be less likely to worry about the comments they make backfiring on them. Asking your boss, peers, and subordinates for feedback on your performance is useless if you don’t take the feedback into consideration and find ways to implement it. Maybe you can’t do exactly what the critique entails, but you can use it as a springboard for making changes. Make sure that you do not take the feedback personally. Look at it as an opportunity to improve. You may spend a lot of time working with a team, and the results are the culmination of everyone’s effort. In some settings, it may be possible to hide or be a little dishonest about the work you accomplished. Being accountable means fully owning up to whatever comes of your work. This is hardest when you have made a mistake or have not quite made the best of an opportunity you have been given. It may feel natural to shift the blame or make excuses that focus on outside forces, but being upfront and honest about your work is an important aspect of accountability. Owning up to shortcomings will show the people you work with and for that you are not trying to hide anything. When you do mess up, and you have to be honest with someone about the mistake, it is always good to have an idea or plan for how to remedy the situation. Being honest and owning the mistake is the first step, but there is most likely still something that needs to happen. Having a solution to the problem ready when you admit the mistake will help ease the tension and show that you are not giving up. If you work in an office and you usually have your door open, try shutting it for a couple days. An open door invites people to stop and talk, even if it isn’t about work. Closing the door more often will give you the privacy to focus more on work and less on interacting with people. Be sure to avoid digital distractions during this time as well. Log out of your social media accounts and shut off your phone. . In a given day of work, you might have five or more things that need to get done. However, not all of the tasks have the same level of priority. Get in the practice of working on the most important things first and putting off the things that can wait. For less important tasks, force yourself to limit how long you spend on them. Don’t spend a whole hour clearing out spam email if someone is waiting for an email response from you. Knock out an important task that you know will take a while, and then balance it with a short, lower priority task. Alternating in this way can boost your efficiency. At the end of the day, or periodically throughout the day, write down what you do and how long you spend doing it. You may be surprised where your time actually goes. It’s probably best not to show your boss this log, but it will help you see what is draining your time and you can work on reducing those time-wasters.

Input: Read this: During the last three minutes of a half, the penalty for failure to place the ball in play within the 20-second play clock, known as "time count" (this foul is known as "delay of game" in American football), is dramatically different from during the first 27 minutes. Instead of the penalty being 5 yards with the down repeated, the base penalty (except during convert attempts) becomes loss of down on first or second down, and 10 yards on third down with the down repeated. In addition, as noted previously, the referee can give possession to the defence for repeated deliberate time count violations on third down.
Question: What is the penalty in American football for not having the down repeated within 20 seconds?

QUES: Original master discs are created by lathe-cutting: a lathe is used to cut a modulated groove into a blank record. The blank records for cutting used to be cooked up, as needed, by the cutting engineer, using what Robert K. Morrison describes as a "metallic soap," containing lead litharge, ozokerite, barium sulfate, montan wax, stearin and paraffin, among other ingredients. Cut "wax" sound discs would be placed in a vacuum chamber and gold-sputtered to make them electrically conductive for use as mandrels in an electroforming bath, where pressing stamper parts were made. Later, the French company Pyral invented a ready-made blank disc having a thin nitro-cellulose lacquer coating (approximately 7 mils thickness on both sides) that was applied to an aluminum substrate. Lacquer cuts result in an immediately playable, or processable, master record. If vinyl pressings are wanted, the still-unplayed sound disc is used as a mandrel for electroforming nickel records that are used for manufacturing pressing stampers. The electroformed nickel records are mechanically separated from their respective mandrels. This is done with relative ease because no actual "plating" of the mandrel occurs in the type of electrodeposition known as electroforming, unlike with electroplating, in which the adhesion of the new phase of metal is chemical and relatively permanent. The one-molecule-thick coating of silver (that was sprayed onto the processed lacquer sound disc in order to make its surface electrically conductive) reverse-plates onto the nickel record's face. This negative impression disc (having ridges in place of grooves) is known as a nickel master, "matrix" or "father." The "father" is then used as a mandrel to electroform a positive disc known as a "mother". Many mothers can be grown on a single "father" before ridges deteriorate beyond effective use. The "mothers" are then used as mandrels for electroforming more negative discs known as "sons". Each "mother" can be used to make many "sons" before deteriorating. The "sons" are then converted into "stampers" by center-punching a spindle hole (which was lost from the lacquer sound disc during initial electroforming of the "father"), and by custom-forming the target pressing profile. This allows them to be placed in the dies of the target (make and model) record press and, by center-roughing, to facilitate the adhesion of the label, which gets stuck onto the vinyl pressing without any glue. In this way, several million vinyl discs can be produced from a single lacquer sound disc. When only a few hundred discs are required, instead of electroforming a "son" (for each side), the "father" is removed of its silver and converted into a stamper. Production by this latter method, known as the "two-step-process" (as it does not entail creation of "sons" but does involve creation of "mothers," which are used for test playing and kept as "safeties" for electroforming future "sons") is limited to a few hundred vinyl pressings. The pressing count can increase if the stamper holds out and the quality of the vinyl is high. The "sons" made during a "three-step" electroforming make better stampers since they don't require silver removal (which reduces some high fidelity because of etching erasing part of the smallest groove modulations) and also because they have a stronger metal structure than "fathers".
What is the limitation of the two step process?
What is the answer?
ANS: limited to a few hundred vinyl pressings
QUES: Genome-wide association studies have found 27 genetic variants that are associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction. Strongest association of MI has been found with the 9p21 genomic locus, which contains genes CDKN2A & 2B, although the single nucleotide polymorphisms that are implicated are within a non-coding region. The majority of these variants are in regions that have not been previously implicated in coronary artery disease. The following genes have an association with MI: PCSK9, SORT1, MIA3, WDR12, MRAS, PHACTR1, LPA, TCF21, MTHFDSL, ZC3HC1, CDKN2A, 2B, ABO, PDGF0, APOA5, MNF1ASM283, COL4A1, HHIPC1, SMAD3, ADAMTS7, RAS1, SMG6, SNF8, LDLR, SLC5A3, MRPS6, KCNE2.

Question: The United States Mint produces Proof Sets specifically for collectors and speculators. Silver Proofs tend to be the standard designs but with the dime, quarter, and half dollar containing 90% silver. Starting in 1983 and ending in 1997, the Mint also produced proof sets containing the year's commemorative coins alongside the regular coins. Another type of proof set is the Presidential Dollar Proof Set where four special $1 coins are minted each year featuring a president. Because of budget constraints and increasing stockpiles of these relatively unpopular coins, the production of new Presidential dollar coins for circulation was suspended on December 13, 2011, by U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner. Future minting of such coins will be made solely for collectors.
Try to answer this question if possible: What is the percentage of silver in coins in the budget constraints?
Answer: unanswerable
Input: Read this: In 1839, Melbourne resigned after Radicals and Tories (both of whom Victoria detested) voted against a bill to suspend the constitution of Jamaica. The bill removed political power from plantation owners who were resisting measures associated with the abolition of slavery. The Queen commissioned a Tory, Sir Robert Peel, to form a new ministry. At the time, it was customary for the prime minister to appoint members of the Royal Household, who were usually his political allies and their spouses. Many of the Queen's ladies of the bedchamber were wives of Whigs, and Peel expected to replace them with wives of Tories. In what became known as the bedchamber crisis, Victoria, advised by Melbourne, objected to their removal. Peel refused to govern under the restrictions imposed by the Queen, and consequently resigned his commission, allowing Melbourne to return to office.
Question: The removal of the Queens bedchamber ladies became known as what?

One of the country’s biggest rail terminals will be ‘effectively closed’ today because of over-running engineering works. There will be no trains in or out of King’s Cross in London due to delays to Network Rail works north of the station. The disruption comes on one of the busiest travel days of the year, as thousands of people try to return home after visiting family for Christmas. Scroll down for video. Services in and out of London Kings Cross station have been cancelled today, it has been announced. Frustration: Travellers at the London station, one of the busiest in the country, where services are cancelled. The disruptions at the station, which is managed by Network Rail, will affect those planning to travel on East Coast, First Hull Trains, Grand Central and Great Northern services. East Coast Trains made the announcement on its website yesterday evening, where it advised passengers to delay their travel if possible. It also said that a revised timetable is currently being developed and will be made available as soon as possible. Customers have been advised they need to start or finish their journey at Finsbury Park in north London, with at least one change of train because of the overrun works in the Holloway area. A reduced service to and from the station will go ahead as planned on Sunday, with trains leaving up to 20 minutes earlier than normal from King's Cross. Last night Passenger Focus, the independent watchdog, described the delays as ‘frustrating’. East Coast made the announcement on their website and apologised for disruption on what is 'an already very busy travel day immediately following the Christmas break' They follow years of complaints from passengers that Britain’s railways effectively ‘shut down’ over the Christmas and New Year holiday. The chaos is heightened by the fact that the West Coast Main Line is already closed for engineering works over the Christmas period. The route is shut between London Euston and Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire until Monday, and also closed between Stafford and Crewe until Sunday. Last night travellers vented their frustration with the King’s Cross closure on social media, saying Network Rail had ‘explaining to do’. The station is the southern terminus of the East Coast Main Line, which provides services to major cities including Leeds, Newcastle and Edinburgh. East Coast spokesman, Paul Emberley, said: 'Network Rail has apologised to passengers for the inevitable delays to their travel plans on Saturday as a result of the overrunning engineering works. 'East Coast is particularly sorry too for the inconvenience to its customers as a result, on what we know is an already very busy travel day immediately following the Christmas break. Sources said that the station would effectively be closed due to delays to works north of the station. 'For customers intending to start or finish their journey at King's Cross, consideration should be given to deferring travel plans to either Sunday or Monday. 'We're working hard over the holiday period to make the necessary adjustments to our timetable as a consequence, and to provide as much information as we can.' National Rail said on its website that services to and from King's Cross would be 'significantly disrupted' tomorrow. It said there will be no trains before 10am tomorrow and over the weekend, many trains will start or terminate at Doncaster, Peterborough, Stevenage or Finsbury Park. Meanwhile, First Hull Trains will run two trains in each direction each day to and from London St Pancras International instead of London Kings Cross. Great Northern are diverting some trains to and from Moorgate between 8.30am and 7.30pm. It said: 'A revised timetable is currently being developed and will be made available as soon as possible. Please check our website regularly for updates. 'Passengers travelling to and from central London may use London Underground services between Finsbury Park and central London. Customers will need to start or finish their journey at Finsbury Park in north London, with at least one change of train, according to East Coast Trains. 'Buses will run between London Kings Cross and Finsbury Park when there is no train or London Underground service.' The rail company said that the work was part of a £200 million Christmas investment programme. It is one of 300 projects being undertaken over the holidays across 2,000 sites up and down the country by some 11,000 railway engineers. A spokesman said: 'What has happened is really regrettable and unfortunate, but it is a small part of a massive amount of engineering investment taking place over Christmas.' The spokesman added that 4.5 million passengers use the railways on average every day, compared with two million a day over the holidays. The company confirmed the disruption at around 8.30pm on its Twitter page - hours after it was first announced by East Coast Trains, which said: 'No service between Kings Cross & Finsbury Park tom due to track work in the Holloway area which has taken longer then expected. Apologies.' Hundreds were forced to take to the roads yesterday after rail services were virtually non-existent today. A reduced service will also operate to and from the terminal on Sunday as planned, with journeys possibly being re-timed or taking longer than expected, according to Network Rail. David Sidebottom, passenger director at the independent watchdog Passenger Focus, said: 'Investment in maintenance and improvement is necessary, and we passengers understand that. 'But overrunning works that disrupt already-limited festive travel are frustrating. 'Our research is clear: passengers want to be kept on the train wherever possible, they want to know before buying a ticket if part of the journey will be by bus, and they want plenty of staff on hand to signpost where to go and what to do. 'We will be looking to see that operators and Network Rail are doing all in their power to alert passengers, to help them make alternative arrangements and to make it easy for them to claim refunds or compensation.' Several frustrated passengers have taken to Twitter to vent their anger. Liam Gladdy said: 'Something must have gone very, very wrong for @networkrail at Kings Cross if they're looking at overrunning by 2 days for 2 days work.' While Amelie Soleil wrote: 'Ahhh what's that? All trains are cancelled coming though Kings Cross tomorrow. Brilliant. Nice to see that £200 train ticket was worth it.' Emily Clifton said: 'Trains all cancelled from King's Cross tomorrow literally what am i supposed to do,' while another user said 'The UK are so unprepared. Today it's just like 'Oh, by the way, we're closing King's Cross for a few days.' It comes after a day of travel disruption on the railways as every single major artery in Britain was closed on Boxing Day. Trains between England and Scotland or Wales on the East Coast, West Coast or Great Western mainlines - and the Midland, Cross Country and East Anglia lines remained shut yesterday. The near-non-existent Boxing Day service has returned this year despite a fierce political battle over the shutdown dating back to at least 2007. Labour and Tories have repeatedly traded accusations over the lack of service, which affects football fans, families without cars and shop workers in the Boxing Day sales. Apart from airport shuttles and Eurostar, only Chiltern, Scotrail, Southeastern and Southern ran trains yesterday. A Department for Transport spokesman said: ‘Network Rail and train companies have ensured that a large part of the railway will remain open during the Christmas/New Year period and alternative routes are provided where lines are closed.’

Article: The Swedish furniture giant's Shanghai store has seen a strange phenomenon of senior citizens descending upon its famed cafeteria to socialise and even find partners.
Locals said it occurs twice weekly, usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
China's state broadcaster CCTV News reported that the elderly patrons would often buy a cup of coffee or some bread and "spend an entire day just chatting with others".
They are believed to be part of a dating community, making use of their Ikea membership cards.
This week, Ikea put a stop to it by imposing a strict "no food, no seating" rule to discourage senior citizens from occupying canteen seats for "extended periods".
In a notice posted at the entrance of the Ikea Shanghai Restaurant, staff identified a "match-making group" and accused it of "uncivilised behaviour".
"The situation has adversely affected the dining experience and security of most of our customers," it said, adding that it had received public complaints about "spitting" and "quarrels and fights".
"It is having a negative implication for our canteen's operation. From today, the restaurant will only be for people who purchase their food first."
The news has attracted attention from netizens on Chinese social media, with many in support of the elderly.
"They are harmless," wrote Ed Ed Chiu in a reply to a post by CCTV News on the popular Chinese micro-blogging Sina Weibo platform.
Weibo user Lee Xin slammed the move as a "draconian measure" and said it was cruel to elderly patrons.
"What wrong are they doing? They are lonely and are probably hoping to find some company again. If anything, the store should practise empathy and at least sympathise with these old people," she said.
The move was criticised by some elderly patrons, who spoke to local media outlets.
"We've been to fast food outlets like McDonald's - but there are barely any peers there," said an 86-year-old man who went by the name of Qiu.
Mr Qiu told the state-controlled Global Times newspaper: "We feel like aliens - surrounded by youngsters. If there is another place in Shanghai where elderly people can gather, we are more than ready to pay twice as much and travel further."
But others online voiced support for the store's management, praising its efforts in "maintaining store policy".
"Intolerable behaviour," said one Weibo user. "I'm with the management on this. It's deplorable how people are caught photographed sleeping on Ikea displays, what more spitting and swearing in public? This should not be tolerated at all."
Another user Lao Gao from Beijing wrote: "To everyone romanticising this, please also consider that the store has an image to uphold while protecting the interests of other paying customers. It is ugly behaviour to take up seats for such long durations while you make others wait."

Q: TEXT: By. Amanda Williams. PUBLISHED:. 13:40 EST, 21 January 2013. |. UPDATED:. 13:44 EST, 21 January 2013. A former fashion model has become one of the country's first millionaire bailiffs. Julie Green-Jones has raked in £2.7million in the past three years as the head of one of Britain's largest bailiff companies - Rossendales. The 50-year -old, from Lancashire, began her career as a fashion model, touring the world as she was booked for various shoots. Julie Green-Jones has raked in £2.7million in the past three years as the head of one of Britain's largest baillif companies - Rossendales. Now she earns almost £1million a year, lives at a £2million country estate, and is in charge of 200 debt collectors at Rossendales - one of Britain's eight largest bailiff companies. The companies have seen their combined annual turnover rise to £106.7million, breaking the £100million barrier for the first time. Last year’s biggest earner was Marston Group, with a £25.8million turnover, followed by Equita, with £20.1million. Rossendales, raked in £16.2million —. an increase of almost ten per cent in two years — and JBW, which earned. £12.8million, was up 80 per cent. But the news comes as a recent report has launched heavy criticism at some parts of the industry for using 'unscrupulous' tactics such as inflating charges and inventing fees. A report by the Local Government Ombudsman, which looked at use of bailiffs by councils, found some were employing practices which could see families pushed deeper in debt. In one case, a £105 fee on a parking ticket was increased to £405, and in another a woman was charged a £250 so called van fee. It is supposed to cover the cost of bringing a vehicle to a property but the maximum charged should be £100. The eight top bailiff firms have not been implicated in any wrongdoing and the report does not name companies individually. Ms Green-Jones turned to the debt collecting business in 1989 after a marriage break-up left her as a single parent with no income. She bought the company in 2007. Between April 2011 and March 2012, Citizens Advice received more than two million requests for help on matters relating to debt. Gillian Guy, chief executive, told the Sun: 'We are seeing more and more evidence that some bailiffs are intimidating people in their own homes.' She said the system was in urgent need of reform as many who sought the organisations advice were already struggling with poverty and did not know their rights or what do when a bailiff comes to the door. Bailiffs body the Civil Enforcement Association said it disputed the findings of the report. It said it had a robust complaints process and bailiffs accused of intimidating people or charging illegally high fees were 'investigated rigorously.' But a spokesman agreed that the system governing the industry needed reform — and said the Government was 'avoiding the issue'. Ms Green-Jones turned to the debt. collecting business in 1989 after a marriage break-up left her as a. single parent with no income. After climbing through the ranks she said she took a risk and bought out Rossendales in 2007. She defended the company's practices when an employee was filmed allegedly threatening debtors and breaking industry guidelines in a 2011 TV exposé. His contract was later terminated for his 'inexcusable behaviour. ' Later that year she said in an interview bailiffs collected money 'critical for front line services'. She said: 'That is all money for the public purse. It’s not only what we collect, we also serve as a deterrent.' Last year’s record earnings for. bailiffs come as experts predict a triple dip recession and as several. high street chains announce that thousands of workers could lose their. jobs. Official growth figures due on Friday are expected to show the British economy shrank in the final quarter of last year. Many experts predict there will be another fall in the three months from January to March, plunging the nation into its third recession in five years. Employees in the shadow of the axe include 800 staff at Honda’s Swindon plant, 1,300 at collapsed camera chain Jessops, 760 at movie rental business Blockbuster and more than 4,000 at HMV. It will mean more families face losing their main earner and could struggle to pay bills. How earnings rose at Britain's eight top bailiff companies.

Q: TEXT: A curry house has been fined £3,000 after two dead mice were discovered next to a sack of onions. Health inspectors also found rodent droppings in the kitchen and food stored inside a dirty shed when they visited Khans Tandoori and Balti Takeaway in Portsmouth, Hampshire. The kitchen sink was also dry and had no soap and the staff toilet was in a poor condition, while layers of dirt, grease and debris had built up in the areas where food was handled and stored. Khans Tandoori and Balti Takeaway in Portsmouth, Hampshire, has been fined £3,000 after these dead mice were discovered next to a sack of onions. Magistrates ordered the restaurant to pay a £1,800 fine, £1,117 in costs and a £36 victim surcharge, after owner of Harold Southsea Ltd, admitted five charges under hygiene legislation on behalf of the takeaway. Health officer Christopher Larkin from Portsmouth City Council had discovered the dead mice on sticky boards that had been put out to catch the vermin when he visited the restaurant last July. Staff were forced to close the restaurant to make emergency repairs, and it was only allowed to reopen once the kitchen had been cleaned and disinfected, and the food moved out of the lean-to shed. Other improvements were also made. Magistrates ordered the restaurant (pictured) to pay a £1,800 fine, £1,117 in costs and a £36 victim surcharge, after owner of Harold Southsea Ltd, admitted five charges under hygiene legislation on behalf of the takeaway. Inspectors found that the kitchen sink was dry and had no soap, while the staff toilet was in a poor condition. 'Food hygiene is of prime importance and we cannot allow poor standards and behaviour like this,' said Alan Cufley, head of environmental health at the Portsmouth City Council. 'When problems are found, we try to work with businesses to help them improve, but if necessary we will take appropriate action, including prosecution, to protect the public.' The restaurant admitted failing to maintain the premises in good repair, failing to maintain them in a clean condition, failing to protect food from risk of contamination, failing to protect the kitchen from pest entry, and failing to control pests. These bags of cleaning products were discovered when inspectors visited the takeaway in July last year. Mr Khan, who owns the takeaway, said: 'It's been cleaned up. Basically we have done everything that's required. 'We have been trying to improve it for the future. We have never had it this bad before. 'We have taken measures to have a clean kitchen.' Council environment chief Robert New said: 'There's just no excuse for mice to be in kitchens. 'It has been a priority since I took over. It's about protecting the public.' He added there has been a change of strategy at the council, with officers now tackling 'medium to bad' offenders as a priority, rather than looking at each restaurant in turn. Health inspectors also found food being stored inside this dirty shed. The takeaway was forced to close, and could only reopen once the restaurant had been cleaned, and the food removed from the lean-to. Mouse droppings were found on the floor of the kitchen, and in a goods store used by staff.

Army opens grueling Ranger job to women
The Army will allow as many as 60 women to participate in the next Ranger course, allowing women for the first time to compete in the grueling two-month combat school. It is considered one of the first steps into the military special operations field.
Army Secretary John McHugh approved the change that would allow women in the course beginning in late April.
While completing the leadership course would let women wear the coveted Ranger tab, it does not let them become members of the Ranger regiment. Currently only men can be in the 75th Ranger Regiment -- the special operations forces unit based at Fort Benning, Georgia.
Joining the regiment requires additional schooling that is physically, emotionally and mentally challenging.
Women and men preparing for the Ranger course will be able to participate in a 16-day training and assessment school that would train women on some of the infantry and combat skills that they would not already have.
By January 2016, the military must open all combat jobs to women or explain why any must remain closed.
The Pentagon lifted its ban on women in combat jobs in 2012, but gave the military services time to gradually and systematically integrate women into the male-only front-line positions.
Special operations jobs are some of the last to be addressed, as commanders review the qualifications needed and assess the impact of bringing women in.
Military leaders have made it clear that they will not reduce standards for any jobs in order to let women in.

Lava is very much like the Mutt's Nuts down on the Grassmarket, catering for the cool gift sector of the market. Everything's a bit gimmicky, and they're probably going to be the sorts of things that you would get as a humorous accompaniment to a normal sort of gift. Like Anna says, it would be difficult for this place to cater for someone who has more conservative tastes, as they would most likely find the things they stock to be a bit too close to the line. But for most people, they would love the sort of things they have here. As I said in my review of the Mutt's Nuts, the things this shop has are the sorts of items you never knew you wanted, but will probably fall in love with if you were given them. I mean, at what time have you thought: "oh yes, I have to get some Jesus Christ sticking plasters!" This is typical of their stock, and you'll most likely be chuckling as you wonder around. Perfect for gifts for the person who thinks they have everything. As this shop proves, they probably don't!

– Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler have finally been confirmed as the newest American Idol judges, but wait a sec before you break out the congratulatory champagne. You might recall that Jennifer Lopez used to be an “international music and movie sensation/fashion icon/business mogul,” writes Ben Barna in BlackBook. Somehow, she went from that … to “Paula Abdul’s replacement. Ouch.” How did this happen? “The easy and obvious answer is box-office bombs,” he writes. Although she appeared poised for success thanks to early hits (Selena, in particular), she exercised very, very poor judgment by agreeing to do “the obvious and schmaltzy romantic drama Angel Eyes,” the trainwreck Gigli, and more. Her relationship with Ben Affleck, splashed all over the tabloids as it was, didn’t help her image much, and her “bland-but-catchy dance pop” quickly went stale. Will her Idol gig kill what’s left of her career? Click here for more on that.

'American Idol' Confirms Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler as New Judges
Email This 'American Idol' has confirmed that
The official confirmation ends weeks of speculation about the judges' lineup. Recent rumors surfaced that Lopez had 'American Idol' has confirmed that Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler are joining the FOX show for its tenth season. The pair will join seasoned judge Randy Jackson, 'AI' host Ryan Seacrest announced on Wednesday in a press conference that streamed live at americanidol.com The official confirmation ends weeks of speculation about the judges' lineup. Recent rumors surfaced that Lopez had signed a deal , while Tyler's participation was reported by friends and bandmates of the Aerosmith singer.
The new lineup brings big changes to 'American Idol.' Gone are original judges Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul. Gone are more recent additions Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi. "I call 'Idol' season 10 'The Remix,' baby!" said Jackson, the only remaining original judge.During the press conference, Tyler entered the stage first and called 'Idol' the "perfect feathered nest.""It's being part of something much bigger than yourself," he told Seacrest when asked why he decided to come on board. "I want to bring some rock to this roller coaster."Lopez, clad in a sparkling jumpsuit, came out next from underneath the stage in a cloud of swirling dry ice. "You have to just concentrate on the moment as best you can. Just live. It's your moment," Lopez said, adding she's "looking for the next Michael Jackson."But whether the addition of Lopez and Tyler can rejuvenate the reality series remains to be seen. While 'American Idol' remains TV's biggest show, last season it lost 9 percent of viewers, and industry experts aren't sure the show can survive without the acerbic-but-popular Cowell. "It's going to be very difficult to replace him and expect the same ratings as last year," Horizon Media's Brad Adgate told USA Today. ||||| Will 'American Idol' Kill Jennifer Lopez's Career?
"In many regards, her doing this is quite the calculated risk," he says. "This is not a guaranteed win. The alchemy of that particular panel is going to be really tricky."The contract negotiations have not appeared to go smoothly. Lopez was said to initially have asked for TV and movie deals as well as more money and a say in who her fellow judges would be. But since she signed with FOX for the 10th season of 'AI,' those requests were dropped and word emerged that talks with the star had been "normal."Rumors have also reportedly been leaked by her rivals and 'Idol'-haters about Lopez's supposed " diva demands " in the hopes of quashing her plans to join the show.If she and Tyler are on board, they will sit alongside the only remaining original judge, Randy Jackson.They'll have an uphill climb to prove themselves to audiences and critics. Roush says that because of its rocky last season, 'Idol' will be under a microscope when it comes back."The show is going to be scrutinized more than any other show in the new year," he says. "We just came out of what was arguably the worst season on 'Idol.'"Not only did Cowell have one foot out the door and had "mentally checked out," as MTV.com put it , but DeGeneres struggled to offer original insights and advice to the contestants, contain her nerves, stop herself from apologizing and cracking jokes and, surprisingly, boil her comments down to catchy sound bites.The challenge for Tyler and Lopez, predicts Roush, will be to put their own self-interests on the back burner and really work to help the young singers competing for the top prize."They've got to try to put their egos aside and put the spotlight on the kids," Roush says. "That's what the show's supposed to be about, but I don't know if they can because these are incredibly big personalities."But since J.Lo and Tyler are such huge names in the industry, and with all the drama surrounding last season, the judges will undoubtedly be a focus whether they try to be humble or not."There's no way it's not going to be about the judges," Roush says. "It could be like a really entertaining circus."And all eyes are on Lopez, though it remains to be seen whether her latest move will turn out to be a mistake. She is Jennifer Lopez, after all, a larger-than-life star with a successful singing and acting career."She's got a big, old target on her," says Roush. "Maybe she'll surprise us." ||||| Ben Barna By
When Jennifer Lopez starred in the 1997 Oliver Stone movie U Turn, no one had any idea how prophetic that title would prove to be. Now, thirteen years later, a U turn is exactly what J-Lo's career has taken: From international music and movie sensation/fashion icon/business mogul, to, as it was finally confirmed today, Paula Abdul's replacement. Ouch. But how exactly did this happen? The easy and obvious answer is box-office bombs. After a very short string of early successes following her breakout role in Selena (Out of Sight, The Wedding Planner), her judgment proved poor when she starred in the obvious and schmaltzy romantic drama Angel Eyes, and everything pretty much went downhill from there. Roles in Enough, Maid in Manhattan, and, of course, Gigli, quickly soured the public on Jennifer Lopez the Actress, while her relationship with Ben Affleck made her Jennifer Lopez, Queen of the Tabloids.
It was also only a matter of time before Lopez’s brand of bland-but-catchy dance pop grew stale (as proved by the tepid chart performance of her last CD, Love?), so she needed her movies to be successful if she was going to maintain heat in fickle Hollywood. But unlike Nicole Kidman - who has maintained career invincibility despite not having had a bona fide hit since her 2002 Best Actress Oscar win - J-Lo’s marketability has waned. It all came to a head in 2005, with the twin disappointments that were Monster-in-Law - billed as Jane Fonda’s return to acting - and An Unfinished Life, which not even the heavyweight pairing of Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman could save. Since then, J-Lo’s personal life has flourished (she’s married with children), but her movie career sputtered out with little-seen flicks Bordertown, El Cantante, and this year’s attempted comeback, The Back-up Plan.
Which brings us to today. Amidst a cloud of synthetic fog, Jennifer Lopez was introduced as one of two new judges on American Idol (the other is Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler), ending a summer of speculation and hearsay. But lest you think appearing regularly on America’s top TV show spells the end of Lopez’s career as an actress, think again. The Times reports that along with an estimated $12 million paycheck, Lopez is also getting a first-look film deal for her production company with Fox. This means that she will continue making movies in the off-season, while we’ll continue to keep our fingers crossed for the long-awaited sequel to Shall We Dance? |||||

Question: Let's complete this passage.
(CNN) -- Lee Thompson Young's "Rizzoli & Isles" character, Detective Barry Frost, was given an emotional farewell in Tuesday's episode. The 29-year-old actor committed suicide last August, and his absence from the show has been treated with sensitivity. Young's Barry Frost has been written out of the show as a victim of a tragic car accident, and Tuesday's episode, appropriately titled "Goodbye," showed the rest of the cast coming to terms with their loss. Angie Harmon's character, Detective Jane Rizzoli, particularly struggled with her grief and gave a moving eulogy at Frost's memorial. "We shouldn't be here today," Harmon's Rizzoli began. "Barry Frost was too young and too good for us to be here today. But yet, here we are. I've been given the incredible honor of talking about how much we all loved Barry, and I could say a lot and then go sit down, but it wouldn't do him justice."

Q: Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA), meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. As of 2016, Java is one of the most popular programming languages in use, particularly for client-server web applications, with a reported 9 million developers. Java was originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which has since been acquired by Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++, but it has fewer low-level facilities than either of them.
The original and reference implementation Java compilers, virtual machines, and class libraries were originally released by Sun under proprietary licenses. As of May 2007, in compliance with the specifications of the Java Community Process, Sun relicensed most of its Java technologies under the GNU General Public License. Others have also developed alternative implementations of these Sun technologies, such as the GNU Compiler for Java (bytecode compiler), GNU Classpath (standard libraries), and IcedTea-Web (browser plugin for applets).

Q: Joey felt the very first rain drop hit his hat.
"Let's go inside!" he said to his friend Billy.
The two ran inside the house as it began to rain more outside. Joey's mother was very happy that they missed the rain and got inside before it made a big mess. Joey and Billy weren't as happy.
"What are we going to do in here all day?" asked Billy.
"I don't know" said Joey, looking out the window as the rain came down.
Harder. And harder.
"Oh no! I left my baseball glove outside" said Joey as he watched it begin to fill up with rain. His glove was going to be a mess!
Thankfully, Joey's dad pulled up in his car. Seeing the glove on the ground, he picked it up as he ran inside.
"Careful sport, you almost lost this" he told his son as he tossed him the wet mitt. But Joey wasn't listening, he was looking past his dad as he walked through the door. The sky was clearing up! Joey ran outside, Billy came after him.

Q: The chipmunks were busy getting ready for the winter. Little Chip had never seen everyone so busy. Chipmunks were running this way and that way. Even his Granddaddy was helping out, stuffing melons up into the holes in the tree. Aunt Chippa was clapping at everyone to hurry them up. Little Chip wasn't sure what they were all doing. His mom had told him, "Getting ready for winter" but Little Chip didn't know what that meant. He sat on the seesaw trying to guess. He knew that people were gathering things. Now that he thought about it, they were gathering food! Little Chip thought for a second...could they be gathering food for a party? That couldn't be it, everyone was gathering so much food that not every chipmunk in the town could come close to eating all the food for a single party. Little Chip looked at his big toe and thought. He saw another chipmunk digging in the ground and stuffing more food there. Was the guy trying to plant seeds to grow? Seeds wouldn't grow in the winter, it's too cold! Little Chip sat up and knew why everyone was so busy! Winter is coming!

Answer: This is without a doubt the funniest of the Curly stooges shorts. I've seen it dozens of times and it always makes me laugh. Hilarious pantomime sequences. A perfect example of "musical comedy". Even people who don't like the knuckleheads remember this one fondly.

Answer: Psychotic transsexual Bobbi murders the patient (Angie Dickinson) of a prominent doctor (Michael Caine) and then pursues the high-priced prostitute (Nancy Allen) who caught a glimpse of Bobbi in the elevator. Liz (Allen) comes under suspicion of the crime and teams up with the patient's son (Keith Gordon) to catch the killer.
It can be summed up in a couple of words: it's very sexy (Dickinson and Allen look great), it's very bloody - with the kind of gore usually reserved for splatter movies, and boy is it well crafted. Writer / director De Palma's script is OK but it really takes a backseat to the man's film-making abilities. It is highly successful on a visceral level and I actually get involved / interested with these characters. I can notice the standard De Palma homages to / ripoffs of Hitchcock - at least from one of the Master's pictures.
And to top it all off, it has a professional and believable cast.
This was De Palma's third movie with ex-wife Nancy Allen (after "Carrie" and "Home Movies".)
By the way, dancer-turned-actress Rachel Ticotin was one of the production assistants. There's a bit of trivia for you.
I wouldn't think a thriller could be classy and bloody at the same time but this picture pulls it off.
One of the best things about it is a typically striking Pino Donaggio music score.

Answer: Just like wine, "Johnny Dangerously" gets better and better with every day. This clever, witty, well-acted film could very well stand on its own - but as a parody of the gangster genre, it's truly outstanding. In fact, it's quite obviously the best film of its kind... the funniest spoof of mob movies and even the respective period - although, admittedly, this position is probably easier to achieve when its main competitors are such primitive, vulgar and dull pseudocomedies as "Jane Austen's Mafia".
Problem: Write a negative (OPTIONS:

Answer:
|
I have yet to read a negative professional review of this movie. I guess I must have missed something. The beginning is intriguing, the three main characters meet late at night in an otherwise empty bar and entertain each other with invented stories. That's the best part. After the three go their separate ways, the film splits into three threads. That's when boredom sets in. Certainly, the thread with the Felliniesque babushkas who make dolls out of chewed bread is at first an eye opening curiosity. Unfortunately, the director beat this one to death, even injecting a wild plot line that leads nowhere in particular. Bottom line: a two-hour plot-thin listlessness. If you suffer from insomnia, view it in bed and you will have a good night sleep.

input: In August 2007, reports emerged that My Bloody Valentine would reunite for the 2008 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, United States; this was later confirmed by Shields, along with the announcement that the band's third studio album (which he had begun recording in 1996) was near completion. In June 2008, My Bloody Valentine played two live rehearsals at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, their first public performances in 16 years. They began an extensive worldwide tour in summer 2008 (their first since their 1992 tour in support of Loveless) including appearances at Oyafestivalen in Oslo, Norway, Electric Picnic in Stradbally, Ireland, and the Fuji Rock Festival in Niigata, Japan. The band reportedly spent PS200,000 on equipment for their world tour. In October 2011, Shields launched the independent record label Pickpocket together with Le Volume Courbe frontwoman Charlotte Marionneau, and considered releasing a collaborative "ten minutes of noise" single on the imprint. In May 2012 remastered versions of Isn't Anything and Loveless were released as well as the EP's 1988-1991 collection, which featured the band's Shields-remastered Creation Records extended plays, singles and unreleased tracks. In November, Shields announced plans to release My Bloody Valentine's third album online before the end of the year, before announcing during a warm-up show at Electric Brixton in London on 27 January 2013 that the album "might be out in two or three days." The m b v album was eventually released through the band's official website on 2 February 2013, crashing the site on its launch due to high traffic. According to Metacritic, m b v received "universal acclaim", and the band began a worldwide tour upon its release. Shields has since announced intentions to release remastered analogue cuts of My Bloody Valentine's back catalogue and a My Bloody Valentine EP "of all-new material", which will be followed by a fourth studio album.

input: Neil Young and Stephen Stills met in 1965, at the Fourth Dimension in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Young was there with the Squires, a Winnipeg group he had been leading since February 1963, and Stills was on tour with The Company, a spin-off from the Au Go Go Singers. When Stills' band broke up at the end of that tour, he moved to the West Coast, where he worked as a session musician and auditioned unsuccessfully for, among other bands, the Monkees. Told by record producer Barry Friedman there would be work available if he could assemble a band, Stills invited fellow Au Go Go Singers alumnus Richie Furay and former Squires bass player Ken Koblun to come join him in California. Both agreed, although Koblun chose to leave before very long and joined the group 3's a Crowd. In early 1966 in Toronto, Young met Bruce Palmer, a Canadian who was playing bass for a group called the Mynah Birds. In need of a lead guitarist, Palmer invited Young to join the group, and Young accepted. The Mynah Birds were set to record an album for Motown Records when their singer Ricky James Matthews--James Ambrose Johnson, Jr., later known as Rick James--was tracked down and arrested by the U.S. Navy for being AWOL. With their record deal canceled, Young and Palmer headed for Los Angeles, where they encountered Stills. Drummer Dewey Martin, who had played with garage rock group the Standells and country artists such as Patsy Cline and the Dillards, joined at the suggestion of the Byrds' manager, Jim Dickson. The group's name was taken from a brand of steamroller made by the Buffalo-Springfield Roller Company. The new group debuted on April 11, 1966, at The Troubadour in Hollywood. A few days later, they began a short tour of California as the opening act for the Dillards and the Byrds.

Problem: Background: John David Jackson (born November 18, 1977), better known by his stage name Fabolous, is an American rapper,hip hop recording artist from Brooklyn, New York City. Jackson's career began when he was a senior in high school and ended up rapping live on American record producer and music executive DJ Clue's radio show, then on Hot 97. Jackson was subsequently signed by DJ Clue to his label Desert Storm, and later secured a distribution deal with Elektra Records. Fabolous' first release, Ghetto Fabolous (2001), spawned the hit singles "Can't Deny It" and "Young'n (Holla Back)", which led Jackson to prominence.
Context: Fabolous released his debut album, Ghetto Fabolous, on September 11, 2001. It debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, selling over 140,000 copies in its first week. The album's first single, "Can't Deny It", was produced by Rick Rock and features a chorus by Nate Dogg interpolating Tupac Shakur's song "Ambitionz Az a Ridah". It charted on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, along with two of the subsequent singles. The other charting singles were "Young'n (Holla Back)", which was produced by The Neptunes and "Trade It All", which features vocals from Jagged Edge and was produced by DJ Clue and Duro. Fabolous released his second album Street Dreams on March 4, 2003. Powered by a Just Blaze beat and guest vocals from Lil' Mo and Mike Shorey, "Can't Let You Go" reached number one on the Rhythmic Top 40 chart and number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. "Into You" with Tamia also reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100. Also released on Street Dreams was the lead single club banger "This Is My Party" and "Trade It All Pt. 2" which featured Jagged Edge as it did on the Ghetto Fabolous version, as well as Diddy. Exactly seven months later, on November 4, 2003, Fabolous dropped his official mixtape, More Street Dreams, Pt. 2: The Mixtape. It was an official release by his record label, Elektra. The album featured remixes and tracks not originally on Street Dreams. This album was also an outlet for his three-man crew, known as the Triangle Offense, consisting of himself, Paul Cain, and Joe Budden. The album actually features a remix to song Fire, which was originally on Joe Budden's self-titled debut album.

The band comprised David Byrne (lead vocals, guitar), Chris Frantz (drums), Tina Weymouth (bass), and Jerry Harrison (keyboards, guitar). Described by critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine as "one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the '80s", the group helped to pioneer new wave music by integrating elements of punk, art rock, funk, and world music with avant-garde sensibilities and an anxious, clean-cut image. Former art school students, who became involved in the 1970s New York punk scene, Talking Heads released their debut
Context: After releasing four albums in barely four years, the group went into hiatus, and nearly three years passed before their next release, although Frantz and Weymouth continued to record with the Tom Tom Club. In the meantime, Talking Heads released a live album The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads, toured the United States and Europe as an eight-piece group, and parted ways with Eno, who went on to produce albums with U2. 1983 saw the release of Speaking in Tongues, a commercial breakthrough that produced the band's only American Top 10 hit, "Burning Down the House". Once again, a striking video was inescapable owing to its heavy rotation on MTV. The following tour was documented in Jonathan Demme's Stop Making Sense, which generated another live album of the same name. The tour in support of Speaking in Tongues was their last. Three more albums followed: 1985's Little Creatures (which featured the hit singles "And She Was" and "Road to Nowhere"), 1986's True Stories (Talking Heads covering all the soundtrack songs of Byrne's musical comedy film, in which the band also appeared), and 1988's Naked. Little Creatures offered a much more American pop-rock sound as opposed to previous efforts. Similar in genre, True Stories hatched one of the group's most successful hits, "Wild Wild Life", and the accordion-driven track "Radio Head", which became the etymon of the band of the same name. Naked explored politics, sex, and death, and showed heavy African influence with polyrhythmic styles like those seen on Remain in Light. During that time, the group was falling increasingly under David Byrne's control and, after Naked, the band went on "hiatus". It took until December 1991 for an official announcement to be made that Talking Heads had broken up. Their final release was "Sax and Violins", an original song that had appeared earlier that year on the soundtrack to Wim Wenders' Until the End of the World. During this breakup period, Byrne continued his solo career, releasing Rei Momo in 1989 and The Forest in 1991. This period also saw a revived flourish from both Tom Tom Club (Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom and Dark Sneak Love Action) and Harrison (Casual Gods and Walk on Water), who toured together in the summer of 1990.

Question: Write an article that answers the following question: How many special teams touchdowns were scored in the game?
Article: The Jets began their 2007 campaign at home for a Week 1 divisional match-up with the New England Patriots. In the first quarter, New York immediately trailed as QB Tom Brady completed an 11-yard TD pass to WR Wes Welker for the only score of the period. In the second quarter, the Jets tied the game with QB Chad Pennington completing a 7-yard TD pass to WR Laveranues Coles. However, the Patriots retook the lead with Brady completing a 5-yard TD pass to TE Benjamin Watson. On the opening kickoff for the third quarter, New York trailed even more as CB Ellis Hobbs returned the kickoff an NFL record 108 yards for a touchdown. Afterwards, New England continued his onslaught as Brady completed a 51-yard TD pass to WR Randy Moss. The Jets would get their last score of the game with Pennington & Coles hooking up with each other again on a 1-yard TD pass. In the fourth quarter, the Patriots would take over for the rest of the game as kicker Stephen Gostkowski nailed a 22-yard field goal, while FB Heath Evans ended the game with a 1-yard TD run. With the loss, New York began its season at 0-1 while the Patriots began 1-0. On September 10, Patriots coach Bill Belichick was accused by the Jets of authorizing his staff to film the Jets' defensive signals from an on-field location, a violation of league rules. The Jets confiscated the video camera used by video assistant Matt Estrella to film the signals during the game and filed a complaint to the league office, detailing the accusations. On September 13, Belichick was officially fined $500,000, while the Patriots were also fined $250,000, and forfeited their first round draft pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. If the Patriots had missed the playoffs, they would have instead forfeited their second and third round selections in the 2008 draft. Goodell said that he fined the Patriots as a team because Belichick is effectively the team's general manager as well as head coach, and exercises so much control over the Patriots' on-field operations that "his actions and decisions are properly attributed to the club." Goodell considered suspending Belichick, but decided that taking away draft picks would be more severe in the long run. Belichick later issued a statement in which he apologized for what he called a "mistake" in his interpretation of the rules. However, he denied ever using videotape to gain an advantage while a game was underway.
Question: Write an article that answers the following question: How many more people, in terms of percentage, belonged to the most common ancestry compared to the least common?

Question: Write an article that answers the following question: How many Touchdowns did Calvin Johnson catch?
Article: In week 4, the Lions traveled south to Arlington, Texas to take on the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys dominated the first half, putting the Lions in a big hole for the second straight week. First came a 25-yard touchdown catch by Dez Bryant. In the second quarter, Bryant scored again on a 6-yard touchdown catch. Dallas added more points with a 41-yard field goal by Dan Bailey. The Lions then got their only points of the first half with a 33-yard field goal by Jason Hanson. The Cowboys responded with a 35-yard field goal just before halftime. After the break, Dallas added more points with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten, putting them up 27-3. The Lions responded with two consecutive defensive touchdowns: first a 34-yard interception return by Bobby Carpenter, then a 56-yard pick-6 by Chris Houston. The Cowboys scored their final points of the game with a 23-yard field goal late in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Lions continued their comeback with a 23-yard touchdown catch by Calvin Johnson. They made it a three-point game with a 51-yard field goal by Jason Hanson, then Romo threw an interception to Stephen Tulloch, and took their first lead of the game late in the final quarter when Calvin Johnson caught his second touchdown of the game from 2 yards out to become only the second player in NFL history to record at least two touchdown catches in 4 straight games (the other to do so is former Vikings receiver Cris Carter). The Lions defense held off Dallas for the win. Like the previous week, the Lions came back and won it in the final moments of the game after being down by a large margin at halftime. This was also the largest comeback the Dallas Cowboys have ever allowed, and it is the largest comeback by a road team in NFL history as the Cowboys were up by 24 in the 3rd quarter. It was the first time the Lions started 4-0 since 1980. This also was its franchise-record fifth straight road win. Ironically, their last game at Dallas saw the Lions lose their franchise-record 26th straight road game.
Question: Write an article that answers the following question: How many more points in a game did the Ravens score than the previous record?
|
Article: The Ravens got their 15th straight home win (16 including playoffs) by defeating the Raiders. Baltimore set a franchise record for points in a game with 55 - improving on the previous record of 48 set against the Detroit Lions on December 13, 2009 - as the team improved to 7-2. Jacoby Jones returned a kickoff for a 105-yard touchdown, making him the first player in league history to have two career kickoff returns of at least 105 yards. Jones had returned a kickoff for 108 yards in Week 6 against the Cowboys.

Neil Young and Stephen Stills met in 1965, at the Fourth Dimension in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Young was there with the Squires, a Winnipeg group he had been leading since February 1963, and Stills was on tour with The Company, a spin-off from the Au Go Go Singers. When Stills' band broke up at the end of that tour, he moved to the West Coast, where he worked as a session musician and auditioned unsuccessfully for, among other bands, the Monkees. Told by record producer Barry Friedman there would be work available if he could assemble a band, Stills invited fellow Au Go Go Singers alumnus Richie Furay and former Squires bass player Ken Koblun to come join him in California. Both agreed, although Koblun chose to leave before very long and joined the group 3's a Crowd. In early 1966 in Toronto, Young met Bruce Palmer, a Canadian who was playing bass for a group called the Mynah Birds. In need of a lead guitarist, Palmer invited Young to join the group, and Young accepted. The Mynah Birds were set to record an album for Motown Records when their singer Ricky James Matthews--James Ambrose Johnson, Jr., later known as Rick James--was tracked down and arrested by the U.S. Navy for being AWOL. With their record deal canceled, Young and Palmer headed for Los Angeles, where they encountered Stills. Drummer Dewey Martin, who had played with garage rock group the Standells and country artists such as Patsy Cline and the Dillards, joined at the suggestion of the Byrds' manager, Jim Dickson. The group's name was taken from a brand of steamroller made by the Buffalo-Springfield Roller Company. The new group debuted on April 11, 1966, at The Troubadour in Hollywood. A few days later, they began a short tour of California as the opening act for the Dillards and the Byrds.
Answer this question "Were they ever an opening act for anyone?" by extracting the answer from the text above.

input: Make use of the article to answer the questions. KUPANG, Indonesia (CNN) -- At Roslin Orphanage, children giggle through deep concentration as they try to master the "Chicken Dance." It's a far cry from the Indonesian orphans' earlier months and years.
Budi Soehardi poses with young residents of Roslin Orphanage.
"They are cheerful-looking and photogenic, but close to all have a very sad story," said Budi Soehardi, founder of the West Timor orphanage.
"Some of the babies come because a mother passes away right after delivery because of lack of nutrition. Others come from extreme poverty. Some come from families [that] just do not want the children and abandon them," he said. Vote now for the CNN Hero of the Year
Soehardi, a 53-year-old Indonesian pilot living in Singapore, and his wife, Peggy, look after 47 children at the orphanage. They have a personal relationship with each one, and consider them part of their family. The couple named many of the children since they entered the orphanage as babies -- some of them tiny victims and refugees from the conflict in East Timor.
Soehardi has three children of his own but says there is no difference between what he supplies for his biological children and those living at the orphanage. They all get clean living spaces, vaccinations, food, clothing and vitamins from the United States.
"Mr. Budi is like my own father," said Gerson Mangi, 20, a resident at Roslin Orphanage. Mangi, who came to the orphanage when he was 12 years old, had no means to attend school after his parents died. Now, thanks to the educational training at Roslin and a private sponsor, he is in medical school. 1. how many kids live in the orphanage?

input: Make use of the article to answer the questions. War Horseis a historical story by Michael Morpurgo. It is written for kids ages 8 to 12. Now just sit and get through the introduction to the plot.
In 1914, a young horse named Joey is sold to a farmer. The farmer' s son, Albert, is thrilled. He cares for Joey. When the family begins to feel the financial impact of war, Albert' s father secretly sells Joey to an army officer named Captain Nicholls. Albert begs the captain to let him join the army. Albert is too young, but Nicholls promises to take good care of Joey for him.
Nicholls treats Joey well. Though Joey still remembers Albert, he grows to like his new master. He develops a friendship with another horse, Topthorn., who belongs to Nicholls' friend, Captain Stewart. The horses and men are shipped overseas for battle. They soon face their own battle in France, and Captain Nicholls is killed.
A young soldier named Warren becomes Joey's new owner. Joey and Topthorn do well in battle, but the Germans capture Warren and Stewart and their horses. The horses' duty of pulling carts full of wounded German soldiers earns them praise. An old farmer and his granddaughter, Emilie, _ the horses as well. When the German army moves out of the area, Emilie and her grandfather keep the two horses. Joey and Topthorn are content to work the farm until another band of soldiers takes them. They become workhorses under bad conditions. Joey is very upset when Topthorn dies of exhaustion.
Alone and frightened, Joey wanders into "no-man's-land" between the German and English camps. An English soldier takes him back to camp.
Joey is reunited with Albert. As the war ends, Albert' s officer announces the horses will be sold in France. An old Frenchman buys Joey. The man, Emilie' s grandfather, tells Albert how Emilie lost the will to live after the horses were taken.

Summarize this article:
Most pieces of furniture will have a cleaning code on the tags under or inside the article. Looking for this code can provide you the recommended and safest way to clean velvet furniture items. In general, velvet is coded as “S,” which means that it requires cleaning with solvents or dry cleaning and will not react well with water. Call the manufacturer if you cannot locate the cleaning code. Most companies will have a database of furniture items and can provide you important information about the cleaning code and caring for the piece. Ask any questions you may have in the course of your call. If you are unsure about your velvet furniture’s code or the piece is an heirloom or has special meaning to you, take the safest route and hire a professional cleaner. It may cost you a bit more, but a professional cleaner has the training and know-how to most effectively and safely clean velvet items. Consider using a commercial dry cleaning kit for smaller household items such as pillow covers or duvets. Make sure to read the cleaning code and the kit information before you start any cleaning efforts. If you decide to spot clean your household velvet item, you should always vacuum it before you begin any washing efforts. Use your vacuum’s brush attachment and run it along the nap, which is the raised and fuzzy surface of fabrics like velvet. This will puff up the fabric and prepare it for cleaning. One of the most effective ways to remove a stain from a velvet household item is gently applying a solution of lemon juice and baking soda. These two potent ingredients can lift and remove any stains from your item. Mix two tablespoons of baking soda in a bowl filled with lemon juice. Stir the mixture until it form a good amount of foam, which is what you will use to clean the item. If you are cleaning larger objects, use a larger bowl or tub. Before you begin cleaning any stains or spots, or wash the entire item, it’s important to do a spot test. This can let you know if the mixture is too potent for your item. In this case, you should allow a professional to clean the object. Apply a small amount of the mixture to a spot on your item that is not visible. The can be under the object or at an inconspicuous seam. Make sure to test the mixture using the same gentle dabbing method you would on other spots. Just as with velvet clothing, you need to be delicate when cleaning stains on your household items. Gently dabbing or wiping away stains can ensure that your item gets clean and remains lustrous and beautiful. Skim the foam from the top of your mixture with a soft, clean cloth. Using long, straight movements, gently wipe or dab at the stains along the nap of the velvet. Make sure to not rub the solution into the fabric, which may cause stains to go deeper into the velvet or damage the item. Check the spot in between wipes to see if the stain is gone. Continue to repeat the process until the item is clean. Remove excess solution or residue by rinsing out the cloth and dabbing the spots until you can’t detect anything on the velvet. Make sure to wring out the cloth before dabbing it on the velvet so that it doesn’t soak the item and ruin the nap or texture. In most cases, it won’t take a long time for a household item to dry from cleaning it. However, you may want to give it a few hours or full day to completely dry before letting others use it. This can ensure that the velvet stays lustrous and isn’t exposed to any other potential staining agents.
|
Check the cleaning code. Hire a professional. Vacuum the item. Make a lemon juice and baking soda solution. Test the mixture. Wipe away stains gently. Allow the item to dry thoroughly.

Summarize this article:
As the shocking video of a Chicago police officer fatally shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald is played worldwide, other footage from the scene that night has gone missing.
Minutes after McDonald was shot 16 times by Officer Jason Van Dyke on a Southwest Side street, several police officers entered a Burger King located just yards from where the teen fell, demanding to view the restaurant's password-protected surveillance video, Jay Darshane, a district manager for the fast-food chain, told the Tribune this week.
When the police left the restaurant almost two hours later, the video had an inexplicable 86-minute gap that included when McDonald was shot, according to Darshane.
"I was just trying to help the police with their investigation," Darshane said. "I didn't know they were going to delete it."
Darshane revealed to the Tribune for the first time that he testified about the missing footage before a federal grand jury earlier this year.
A technology support employee for Burger King who tried unsuccessfully to recover the video also appeared before the grand jury, he said.
In addition, the FBI hauled away the restaurant's digital video recorder containing all its surveillance images, according to Darshane, who oversees several area Burger Kings.
After Cook County prosecutors charged Van Dyke with first-degree murder on Tuesday, federal prosecutors disclosed their probe of the fatal shooting remains "active and ongoing."

While the restaurant's surveillance system likely wouldn't have caught the shooting itself, at least two cameras positioned to face the restaurant's parking lot and drive-through lane may have captured McDonald's movements in the critical moments before Van Dyke opened fire, according to lawyers for McDonald's family.
In announcing the charge against Van Dyke, State's Attorney Anita Alvarez said forensic testing revealed no evidence that anyone had intentionally erased the Burger King video. NBC5 News first broke the story about the missing footage.
"We have looked at those videos and ... it doesn't appear that it's been tampered with," Alvarez told reporters.
At a news conference at police headquarters hours later, police Superintendent Garry McCarthy called allegations that officers had deleted the video "absolutely untrue."
"There were apparently technical difficulties," McCarthy said. "But in no way, shape or form is there any evidence that anything was tampered with, and I think (Alvarez) covered that."
According to court records, moments before he was shot, McDonald had crossed on foot through the Burger King parking lot at 4060 S. Pulaski Road holding a knife in his hand while being tailed by officers who had requested a backup with a Taser.
Under court order to release the police dash-cam video that captured McDonald's shooting, the city made the recording public Tuesday. A day later, in response to an open records request from the Tribune, the city released four other dash-cam videos from the incident, including one from the squad car that Van Dyke was riding in that night. That video shows Van Dyke's police cruiser approaching the Burger King and McDonald cutting in front of the vehicle as he jogs by the front of the restaurant onto Pulaski.
The videos, including the one from Van Dyke's vehicle, did not include any audio of officers talking, either in the vehicles or over police radios, raising questions about why sirens outside the vehicles could be heard but voices inside the vehicle could not.
Lawyers for McDonald's family have said the restaurant's surveillance cameras may have also captured McDonald puncturing a front tire of a squad car on Pulaski moments before Van Dyke and his partner came to a stop and jumped out with their guns drawn.
McDonald was shot about 2 1/2 minutes before 10 p.m., according to prosecutors.
Darshane said the restaurant's assistant manager called him that night saying about four or five police officers were inside demanding the password to access the surveillance video. He authorized the manager of the store — who wasn't working at the time — to give the code to the officers.
The officers stayed on the scene until almost midnight and even brought in their own information technology specialist when it appeared they were having trouble operating the system, Darshane said.
The equipment had been in perfect working order for weeks before the shooting, Darshane said. But the next morning, Burger King discovered the 86-minute gap when investigators with the Independent Police Review Authority, which investigates police shootings, sought to make a DVD copy of the surveillance video. Missing was any footage from 9:13 p.m. to 10:39 p.m., Darshane said.
When the video system kicked back on, it recorded two police officers in the Burger King office who appeared to be looking at something on the monitor over and over, according to Michael Robbins, an attorney representing McDonald's family.
"It is curious," Robbins said. "If they got there and turned it on and found that there was no video, what were they looking at for two hours?"
In addition to the missing footage, lawyers for McDonald's family have questioned the actions of other officers at the scene moments after the shooting.
Robbins said several citizens who witnessed McDonald's shooting reported that officers ordered them to leave the scene under threat of arrest without ever interviewing them. Other witnesses reported that detectives later badgered them for insisting that McDonald hadn't threatened officers before he was shot, Robbins said.
Robbins said one man who was stuck in traffic with his son saw the shooting unfold right in front of him. He followed police orders to leave, but when a police union spokesman later described in television news reports that McDonald had purportedly lunged at Van Dyke with a knife, the man came forward to challenge the account, Robbins said.
"To tell an occurrence witness who observed a fatal shooting to leave and not even ask them to identify themselves is incomprehensible," Robbins said.
Robbins said that some of the witnesses were outside the Burger King after the shooting, and the missing surveillance footage would likely have captured their interaction with police.
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office declined to comment on the federal probe of McDonald's shooting beyond its brief statement released Tuesday, but Scott Ando, IPRA's chief administrator, said Wednesday that no citizens later complained to IPRA about their treatment by the police that night.

CHICAGO (WGN) -- The horrible video of a teenager being shot 16 times by a Chicago cop is being seen all over the world, but it appears some video from the scene has gone missing.
The manager of a Burger King near the scene says his surveillance video was erased by police, and WGN has learned that he's told that to a federal grand jury.

The Burger King at 41st and Pulaski is about 50 yards away from the spot where Laquan McDonald was fatally shot by a CPD officer. While we know more about what happened the night of Oct. 20, 2014, it's what happened hours later, inside the Burger King, that federal investigators are still fleshing out.
The restaurant's manager has insisted for months that his surveillance system was tampered with by the very police officers he was trying to help. He says 86 minutes of video from around the time of the shooting was erased. His statements Friday support what lawyers for the McDonald family first told WGN news back on Nov. 18.
"A police detective and a technician went into the Burger King...and the Burger King employees, including the manager, looked at the video, and found about 83 minutes of video that were missing, which included the time the shooting occurred, " attorney Michael Robbins said.
In announcing murder charges Tuesday against officer Jason Van Dyke, State's Attorney Anita Alvarez said there was no evidence that video had been deleted: "It doesn't appear that they've been tampered with, and did not reveal any of that kind of evidence."
When pressed on the same question at his own press conference later the same day, Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy stood alongside Mayor Emanuel and put it even more emphatically: "It's absolutely not true, and I think the State's Attorney addressed that today. There were apparently technical difficulties, but in no way, shape or form that anything was tampered with, and I think she covered that."
Additionally, the Burger King manager told WGN that police, somewhat ironically were also caught on the same surveillance system deleting files. He says the FBI now has that video.

– At least five different videos—including the disturbing dashcam video that shows Laquan McDonald being shot 16 times by Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke—have emerged in the 17-year-old's killing, but some important footage is missing, a Burger King district manager tells the Chicago Tribune. Jay Darshane says he was "trying to help the police with their investigation" when officers showed up right after the Oct. 20, 2014, shooting at his restaurant, which WGN notes is located about 50 yards from where the fatal shots were fired. Darshane says the BK's assistant district manager called him that night to tell him there were "four or five" officers asking to review the eatery's surveillance video. Darshane gave the OK, and cops holed up with the tape for nearly two hours, he says—but when they left, there was an "inexplicable 86-minute gap," from 9:13pm to 10:39pm, that included when Laquan was shot, the Tribune notes. "I didn't know they were going to delete it," Darshane says, adding that he testified about the missing video earlier this year in front of a grand jury. But State's Attorney Anita Alvarez has said there's no forensic evidence to back up claims the tape was erased on purpose, and Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy says those claims are "absolutely untrue" and that there were "apparently technical difficulties." The Tribune notes that the surveillance camera probably wouldn't have had the vantage point to show Laquan's shooting, but it may have depicted some of the teen's movements right before. And an attorney for Laquan's family poses a question. "It is curious," he says. "If [the officers] got there and turned it on and found that there was no video, what were they looking at for two hours?" (A protest against Laquan's shooting tried to halt Black Friday shopping.)
