| Made sure to hit Vandy first, so I wouldn't forget about anyone!
Dammit, I keep forgetting about Vanderbilt. I've seen a lot of headlines on how the SEC was almost perfect last week, only to on several occasions find myself asking who was the "almost," only to remember that Vanderbilt did in fact play last week, on Thursday, and lost to Western Kentucky. The loss wasn't embarrassing or anything—WKU's been fielding solid outfits for some time now—but for a team like Vandy, actually no, for the Vanderbilt team period, it needs every possible win it can get for bowl eligibility. On Thursday it let one slip through its—actually, through Nathan Marcus's—hands. (Marcus, late in the game, dropped a would-be touchdown that would've erased any need for Vandy's even later, ill-fated, two-point conversion. Sure, they could've still lost it in OT, and also, yes, six wins doesn't seem plausible regardless of a win last week or not, but still.) Anyway, to the Commodores' credit, they don't look to be as unsightly as they were last year, so a big congrats to them for seemingly improving in the offseason. Not that they need my permission or anything, but I look forward to seeing Vandy maybe push a conference foe or two well into the second-half of a game. And maybe next year they can go bowling, wouldn't that be something!
You played better than I thought you'd play, Alabama and Florida. Hell, I didn't know what to expect from either of these two heading into the season, and also hell, I'm still not sure how Florida will ultimately fare long-term. But whatever expectations I failed to have were exceeded by both teams on Saturday. Particularly big, bad, ‘Bama, who I all but dismissed—as foolish a thing as I've ever done—as a playoff-contender prior to the season. No, Alabama is still doing fine no matter who plays quarterback for it, which may be a rather moot controversy in hindsight, seeing as how all the quarterback really needs to do is hand off the ball to Derrick Henry or Kenyan Drake and roll out of the way.
Jesting aside, though Saban-era quarterbacks need be no more than effective managers (a good, if not preferred style of player whose title catches a bad rap), one, or at least I, was inclined to wonder if ‘Bama had even one of those on its roster prior to the season—the seeming notion that every ‘Bama quarterback could start, and so late into the summer, was a red flag of sorts. But Jake Coker and Cooper Bateman both looked more than serviceable on Saturday, and the assortment of wide outs (whose collective gridiron bent presented yet another pre-season concern) appear to be not sucky!
Alabama's defense was never in question, so let's harp on Florida, who on Saturday fielded a team that, for the first time since the late aughts, had what appeared to be a real plan offensively—particularly in the passing game. Of course, the plan was buttressed by a couple of things, namely player execution and improved play at the skill positions and tight end especially. If you've watched a Florida game in the past two seasons, then you possibly at some point wondered if the Gators possessed any tight ends. They did! But boy were they shitty; an embarrassment to the sport, really. Florida's current crop is inarguably, even after one game against a lowly opponent, the best set of Florida-fielded TE's in quite some time: C'yontai Lewis, Jake McGee, Deandre Goolsby. Obviously the tight ends can't do it by themselves, and they had a little help: Will Grier and Treon Harris both had the look of quarterbacks who can be serviceable if not rather decent during conference play, as did UF's receiving core. The O-line remains a question mark until league play begins, but even against a patsy, UF's offense appears to be much improved from a year, two years, five years ago.
Was I wrong about you, Jeremy Johnson? Welp, it took all of one game for Auburn's Jeremy Johnson to undo all the Heisman-hype that I started, all by myself, this summer. Johnson was clearly pressing in his official debut, throwing three picks, with another one or two that shoulda happened, too. It's only one game, so Johnson has at least two more weeks before I can officially call him a bust (yes, declaring a bust requires an official three-week waiting period), but both he, and Auburn for that matter, will probably be fine. Louisville was always going to be a tough out; getting a dubbya was all that mattered. Those jumping off the Tigers' bandwagon, after many anointed them the SEC favorite over the summer, need to chill.
Oh, so I was the only one impressed with Ole Miss? UT Martin sucks, at least compared to most power-five programs, but Ole Miss looked good on Saturday. I haven't seen too many people talk about this, but I'm going to change that here. The Rebs were impressive! Robert Nkemdiche on offense is a treat that I and everybody deserve to see on weekly basis. Chad Kelly looks well talented enough to distribute to Laquon Treadwell and Evan Engram, consistently. I just hope the Laremy Tunsil sitch is resolved soon.
Thumbs up to Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Miss. State and Georgia, for doing pretty much what they were expected to. Congrats.
South Carolina, you entertained me thoroughly. I was wrong about A&M-ASU being the SEC's most compelling contest last week. Nope, that distinction retroactively goes to Carolina South, who beat Carolina North in an ugly, but still somehow fun, game. UNC isn't exactly the class of the ACC, and the Tar Heels, it can be argued, gave the game away, but credit to the Gamecocks for hanging tough, especially on defense. There may be some upsets sprung by Spurrier's bunch yet.
Damn LSU, did you even show up on Saturday? Ha-ha, jokes. I don't think the lack of a first game will be quite as detrimental to LSU's fortunes against Mississippi State as some are making it out to be, although it will probably take the Tigers a couple of quarters, or three, before they get in the swing of things on Saturday. Bottom-line, teams open against conference foes all the time, and, like most other games, the best team usually wins. If LSU loses on Saturday it won't be because it didn't get some reps in against McNeese State; it'll be because Mississippi State was better.
Oh, hey Kentucky, congrats on the win! Looking forward to your game this weekend. Underrated matchup if you ask me.
I will not name A&M the outright SEC favorite. I will not name A&M the outright SEC favorite. I will not name A&M the outright SEC favorite. I will not name A&M the outright SEC favorite. I will not name A&M the outright SEC favorite.
Superlatives! Christian Kirk impressed me more than any other player this week, including his freak show teammate, Myles what's-his-face. Kirk's a star now. Not a star-in-the-making, an outright star. As for coaches, John Chavis did his job better, arguably, than anyone else in the country this week: congrats to you, Chief. The best unit of the week, unsurprisingly, was A&M's defensive line, so good job there. And that's all I got for now. | SPORTS |

| In March 2010, I assisted with the resources for an SIUE student named Dometi Pongo to produce what we called “The Malcolm X Mixtape.” Dometi had taken classes with me, and we agreed that he would use excerpts from Malcolm X speeches that we had covered in my literature courses to produce raps. The results were wonderful. He produced several songs for a mixtape that fused Malcolm’s words with conscious rap lyrics. On September 23, at the East St. Louis Charter High School, we read, listened to, and composed responses to pieces from the mixtape.

| Dare we say it — this interview turned us into bonafide Beliebers
Justin Bieber stopped by Wednesday's Tonight Show for an honest interview in which he discussed getting "emotional" (read: crying like a baby) during his VMAs performance Sunday night
See also: The 11 weirdest moments at the 2015 VMAs
Turns out his harness was just pulling on his "junk."
Not really (we think). In all seriousness, Bieber explained that the night was simply "overwhelming" for him
"Honestly, I just wasn't expecting for them to support me in the way that they did. Last time I was at an awards show, I was booed," he continued. "I think it's just like, I've worked so hard at this album and worked so hard becoming the man I wanna become, and stepping into situations you just can't help but feel judged, and just wanting to win so badly and just wanting to do what I loved so badly, that I just put everything on the line."

| So I couldn't be vulgar to Jane today. We drove straight past the gym, I said "Where we going?" and he (Alex) replied "We talked about taking a walk today, s'morning". Oh yes, I had agreed but forgotten, so we were out without my wheelchair etc.
We drove for about 25 minutes until we arrived at Saundersfoot. So I got out of the car and walked off. We walked around in a circle, along the beach walk then up through the car park and back along the street. We were out of the car, walking, for 45 minutes. He said "Wanna sit here and rest?" twice but no, I stayed on my feet, walking for 3/4 of an hour | ENTERTAINMENT |

| VACAVILLE — Solano County Jews have begun commemorating High Holy days with Rosh Hashannah, the Jewish new year.
For Chabad of Solano County, all events are at the new Center for Jewish Life, 730 E. Main St., Vacaville.
It marks the first time Chabad has been able to mark the High Holy Days in its own building.
“Chabad of Solano County is eagerly looking forward to embarking on a new beginning together with the community, holding High Holiday services for the first time at the newly purchased Chabad of Solano Center for Jewish Life,” said Chaim Zaklos, Chabad rabbi, in an email to the Daily Republic.
A detailed list of events can be found at http://www.jewishsolano.com.
Vallejo’s Congregation B’nai Israel is also welcoming the Jewish year 5776 at its synagogue at 1256 Nebraska St.
David White is the rabbi.
“These holidays are not about specifically Jewish values. They are about life-affirming human values and changes that humankind can and must make to turn in the direction of health and well-being,” White wrote on the B’nai Israel website.
The schedule for Congregation B’nai Israel can be found at http://bnaisrael.weebly.com.
Holy Days began Sunday. Rosh Hashannah is followed by Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, on Sept. 23. and Sukkot, beginning Sept. 28.

| Among bountiful hopes that my fellow Yanks had a great Labor Day weekend, are further hopes that bringing you Bestest Songs a little early will help you back into the work week. No one should be forced to make merry, then make moil in the salt mines without at least a four day transition. This week’s songs all have a bit of pep and step to them. Let’s go! Dolphin Tears – “NEED Ü” Because: The only way i’ll listen to Justin Bieber is if you mix it with Skrillex, Diplo, Lady Gaga, and then make them all better by cutting them all up into bitty better bits and melting them into rainbow riffs.
[Dolphin Tears Soundcloud] Air Waves – “Fantasy” Because: Something about Nicole Schneit is immensely likable and her song here is a hot mug of tea.
[Air Waves Facebook] Colleagues – “Align” Because: Sweden has the natures.
[colleagues.se] Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats – “Howling At Nothing” Because: Of all the shows in the land, the one done by these guys would have the most eye contact with the crowd.
[nathanielrateliff.com] Dornik – “Drive” Because: I enjoy Michael Jackson with a double dash of Prince.
[dornikmusic.com] Fake Palms – “YTMATLDPH” Because: It’s garage rock song with a rhythm guitar holding its hand up out of the song like some star pupil.
[Fake Palms Facebook] Troye Sivan – “WILD” Because: Every now and then a pop chorus, as simple and stupid as they can be, offers you a fresh brew.
[Troyesivan.com] Amateur Best – “They Know” Because: This song has so many parts of itself detached and hidden in alcove shadows and puzzle boxes.
[Amateur Best Facebook] Frøkedal – “I See You” Because: It reminds me a bit of Fleet Foxes. Remember them?
[frokedal.com] Kathryn Calder – “New Millennium” Because: Calder should be known for more than her vocals with The New Pornographers.
[kathryncalder.com] Khruangbin – “White Gloves” Because: Can’t you just slow dance all night to this breeze of a wisp of a waft of a scent of a curl of a tuft of a song?
[khruangbin.com] That’s all for now! Be well and stay tuned! -Matt Tweet

| The newly-appointed director of the Commissariat aux Assurances (CAA), Claude Wirion, inherited a relatively healthy insurance sector for his first annual results announcement—healthy to the tune of €1.63 million in profits recorded for 2014, a murmur behind 2012’s record-setting €1.68 million. But is it ailing? With the announcement of 2015’s disappointing second-quarter numbers, and with tremendous regulatory challenges afoot, the prognosis is now uncertain.
A mixed bag
The summary of the insurance and reinsurance companies’ 2014 results, published by the CAA in July, was mostly sunbeams: net profits grew by 33% overall, and the life insurance sector saw turnover growth of 20%. Ninety percent of the total turnover happened cross-border, confirming that Luxembourg’s insurers are thinking internationally. These numbers characterise an industry that is fit and fighting in a landscape promising heavy regulation in the next three years.
However, as is evidenced from the release of this year’s numbers, the sector appears to have hit stormclouds in 2015—especially life insurance companies, whose collection of guaranteed return product premiums fell by 28% in the first quarter and 41% in the second. These life insurance company numbers pulled down the industry-wide figures, which tipped 2.3% in the first quarter into a 10% drop in the second. These falling figures highlight the blocks that the industry is currently stumbling over: among other issues, the low-yield environment is weakening the attractiveness of certain products.
Guaranteed return products are made even less attractive by the prudential framework, which acts as an incentive for insurance companies to orient their clients towards unit-linked products instead. For this reason we have seen unit-linked products growing in importance, with rises of 30% and 17% in Q1 and Q2, respectively, of 2015.
As the industry deals with these economy-caused challenges, the question remains: what state is it in to take on layers of new regulation?
A burdensome regulatory maze
The maze of regulation appears to be thickening, with CRS, Solvency 2, PRIIPS, IDD, MiFID 2, and the 4 th AML Directive all expected to complicate the field. From a revamp of the prudential framework (Solvency 2) on 1 January 2016, to the implementation of a MiFID-like framework now expected in 2018 (Insurance Distribution Directive), the financial and administrative burden of compliance is sure to weigh down many shoulders in the coming years.
There are, however, bright spots within the maze. In 2013 Luxembourg’s government announced its intention to comply with the global automatic exchange of information scheme, which initially brought whispers of concern about what would happen to the market. Yet the 2014 numbers show that these worries were little more than whispers, with a 9% increase in the life insurance sector’s net income. Indeed, in September 2015 Luxembourg’s tax authorities followed through with its promise and shared the nominative list of US insurance policyholders with the IRS for the first time—and the earth has remained on its axis.
Nevertheless, the overall picture is one increasingly crowded by regulation and the promise of more—how the insurance sector deals with it remains to be seen.
Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD)
For insurance companies, distribution is likely to be the area most shaken up by regulation. European institutions have finally reached a political agreement on IDD which is expected to be formally voted on by the EU parliament by the end of 2015. At the heart of the agreement is customer protection, alongside transparency on inducements and on conflicts of interest. Following PRIIPS and its so-called 3-page KID, the amount of information disclosed to customers will skyrocket. All of this transparency will oblige companies to rethink the way they handle client information.
It’s not all doom and gloom, at least: the 2002 Insurance Mediation Directive (IMD) has been reworked to help realise the long-awaited harmonisation of Europe’s insurance distribution framework. This may simplify life for those in legal and sales departments in Luxembourg companies whose domestic turnover is less than 10% of their total turnover.
Takeaway
Overall, the precise burden of this MiFID-like revolution in the insurance sector remains uncertain; its navigability will depend on the measures of implementation and on the how IDD is incarnated among different Member States. What is certain is that insurers, reinsurers, and intermediaries will have their work cut out for them, and that Luxembourg’s insurance sector, in these times of economic and regulatory turmoil, will be tested. | FINANCE & BUSINESS |

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 16, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Exposure to pesticides may increase your risk of diabetes, a new analysis suggests.
After reviewing 21 previous studies, researchers found exposure to any type of pesticide was associated with a 61 percent increased risk for any type of diabetes. The increased risk for type 2 diabetes -- the most common type -- was 64 percent, the investigators found. Scientists believe genetic and environmental factors are involved in the development of diabetes. Although the current findings don't prove pesticides cause diabetes and more research is needed, the study authors said their findings add to the growing body of evidence that contaminants in the environment play a key role in the development of the disease.
"This systematic review supports the hypothesis that exposure to various types of pesticides increases the risk of diabetes," wrote study authors Giorgos Ntritsos, from the University of Ioannina School of Medicine in Greece, and Dr. Ioanna Tzoulaki and Dr. Evangelos Evangelou, from Imperial College London.
"Analyzing each pesticide separately suggests that some pesticides are more likely to contribute to the development of diabetes than others," the authors concluded.
The following chemicals were linked to an increased risk of diabetes, according to the researchers: chlordane, oxychlordane, trans-nonachlor, DDT, DDE, dieldrin, heptachlor and HCB.
The review included 21 observational studies (with a total of almost 67,000 people) that investigated a possible link between exposure to pesticides and diabetes. The researchers also conducted a specific analysis that focused solely on type 2 diabetes. Most of the studies measured pesticide exposure with blood or urine analyses, which are considered very accurate methods, the researchers said.
The findings were presented Tuesday at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes in Stockholm, Sweden. Data and conclusions presented at meetings are usually considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

| THIS SATURDAY EVENING at Galerie Abyss, a new group exhibition opens up called 'Tattoos'. It is a tribute to - you guessed it - tattoos and tattoo culture just in time for Montreal's Tattoo Festival happening next weekend (September 11th - 13th).
Click here for Galerie Abyss Tattoo art show facebook event info.
I will have a framed 'The Boastful Ghost' print available in the show. I figure, if you're going to buy a print, you're going to frame it at some point anyway - why not just buy it already framed? (The framed image also comes with a FREE Thoughts & Progress: The Boastful Ghost booklet!)
Dimensions of frame are 17.5"x17.5". Contact the gallery if you are interested. If you would like to purchase an edition of the image, but will forgo framing for now: You can purchase one of the very few remaining prints here. | ENTERTAINMENT |

10 Best Practices For BYOD Policy
Bring-your-own device doesn't have to mean bring your own security problems.
Many enterprises now allow users to access corporate resources via their personal mobile devices. According to a global survey of CIOs by Gartner, nearly 40 percent of companies by 2016 will require employees to provide their own mobile products.
While BYOD reduces organizational cost for providing dedicated devices to each employee and provides flexibility and choice to the employees, it also introduces obvious security risks to the organization, such as unsecured devices accessing and storing business information. It also means additional overhead for IT in order to manage multiple devices with a variety of platforms and configurations to ensure compliance.
A large number of vendors offer enterprise class tools for managing BYOD users. But just adopting any relevant tool doesn't solve the security problem: organizations also need to formulate solid policies for the use of personal devices and ensure these policies are executed properly.
Here are some best practices for preparing BYOD policies for your organization:
Determine organizational requirements: While adopting BYOD, consider work culture in the organization, habits of mobile users, and even the applicable laws to address legal issues. Think about the scenarios where the users prefer to access corporate data on personal devices, and common habits of users when accessing sensitive data. For instance, a sales manager might prefer to take down the orders on a tablet instead of carrying a laptop. Identifying these types of organizational requirements or restrictions can help in building a standard structure for BYOD adoption in organizations.
Policies must be for all: Different user roles have different levels of access controls and permissions, which implies the proper guidelines and scope of access must be defined for each user role. It often happens that top management is simply not present on the list, and granted all the privileges. Policies to manage personal devices should be applied for all user roles -- even if they are granted superuser privileges, which also must be specifically called out in the policy document.
Policies that everyone agrees with: When formulating the policies, a consent or acknowledgment from all key departments could help avoid later conflicts. In case any specific department has any special requests or recommendations, those must be addressed appropriately.
Restricting mobile resources and applications: To protect the information saved on the mobile devices, the first layer of defense is data encryption or password-based access restrictions. Besides that, there are often several other ways through which information may be compromised from within the mobile device. Malicious applications may try to capture and steal information while the business applications are in use: for instance, they may be recording conversations while some meeting or conference is going on. For such scenarios, policies for restricting mobile resources like camera and microphone may be required.
Usage limits: There are often cases when organizations need to put some restrictions on the use of mobile devices. These may be in terms of limits for data access, or may be regarding use of any specific inappropriate site or application. Adding such restrictions into the policy document helps set the right expectations from the users.
Segregation of personal data: Personal devices are loaded with a lot of personal files, applications, messages, and other data. When such mobile devices are enrolled within organizational networks, administrators usually get complete access to the device. The policies for segregation of personal data residing on devices must be clearly defined and implemented to ensure user privacy.
Real-time compliance monitoring: Many Mobile Device Management (MDM) tools offers capabilities of performing real-time monitoring of the mobile devices when used in organizational premises. Such tools ensure that notifications are sent to the administrators as soon as some policies are void so that appropriate actions can be taken.
Information leakage due to lost/stolen devices: When any personal mobile device is stolen or lost, organizations often lose control over the device and the information stored on that device. To prevent information loss from these types of situations, be sure to have provisions of remote lock or remote wipe, which can be activated via some MDM tools, and define the policies accordingly.
Locate the device: Geo-location and geo-fencing based policies can help track remote employees and restrict their access to corporate information from outside some predefined geographical area.
Backing up corporate data: Regular and scheduled backup of the business information residing on mobile devices is also essential. In case of a device wipe due to it being lost or stolen, an employee’s work can be restored without losing any sensitive information.

| MARQUETTE, Mich. (AP) -- Two hikers from Minnesota discovered a body at the bottom of a steep cliff along Lake Superior in Michigan's Upper Peninsula while going through photos one of them had just taken.
Police say the body of 33-year-old Nicholas Straka of Marquette was recovered on Thursday at Presque Isle Park in Marquette.
Scott Andrews and Brett Peterson were visiting from St. Paul. Andrews tells The Mining Journal that Peterson took photos over the edge of the cliff to see how far it was to the bottom and they spotted a bike and legs. They yelled to the person and called 911 after they didn't see movement.
Detective Sgt. Greg Kinonen says he apparently died from a fall. WLUC-TV reports the circumstances are under investigation. | LAW & CRIME |

| Day before yesterday,it was a busy day for traffic personnel of our town.Some hundreds of statues of Ganesh Maharaj came here to get immersed in the river of Godavari.Because of the sanctity attributed to the place and the river ,many conductors of celebrations have preferred to come here.All the day,roads were engaged with full rush with the beelines of vehicles.Many vehicles came with the statues all the way from Nalgonda,Hyderabad,Karimnagar and other surrounding districts.Enthusiasts are seen all over the streets with having bhajans and popular songs.
To get immersed the statues,officers arranged adequate machinery to lift larger clay statues in to the river.Godavari seemed anew with floating statues.These are mostly made of clay,so there is no big environmental hazard in any way.With autos,lorries and other vehicles the day was colorful as it usually arrives once in a year.The picture was taken by my mobile instantly in view of presenting it for our fellow bloggers. | ENVIRONMENT & ANIMALS |

| When I was trying to learn the features of Affinity Photo I did a little project that involved a lot of blending of layers. This is the result. All of the details are natural elements from a number of other photos. I know it's a little silly but it was fun to do and helped me learn the software. And for Mac users - Affinity Photo is excellent considering the price. This will probably be my replacement for Aperture (which is not supported any more).

| Please join us to welcome author Ralph White for the presentation and signing of his new book 'The Jeweled Highway ~ On the Quest for a Life of Meaning'. The evening will feature a special introduction by Dr. Leonard George.
Monday, October 5th, 7pm to 9pm
Free Admission / Seating is Limited
In 1984 Ralph White co-founded the New York Open Center - America’s leading urban center of holistic learning. He initiated the "Esoteric Quest" in 1995 - a series of conferences, open to all - with little sense that a twenty year (and counting) exploration of the Western Esoteric Tradition would result.
Ralph's own search for meaning has taken him on many adventures in South America and Tibet, and led him to become deeply involved in supporting the worldwide emergence of a holistic and ecological worldview. His new book recalls his childhood in Wales; adolescence in gritty Northern England; and later, his distinguished pioneering role in multiple centers of spiritual learning.
An excerpt from the preface to The Jeweled Highway ~ On the Quest for a Life of Meaning by American psychotherapist and author Thomas Moore:
"...Ralph White's narrative offers direction to current voyagers and travelers on the way out of materialistic insanity into meaning. Don't glorify any truth or tradition. Participate. Participate. Feel the insights and discoveries of others. Don't restrict yourself to any truth. Open your heart to the most lowly practitioners of wisdom. Don't succumb to the lures of the sweet and the lofty. Remain loyal to the lowly and the grimy. Stay grounded, even as you explore the highest."
Tibetan Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman, writes: “If you want to know where we’ve been and where we’re headed in these times of great danger and opportunity, I cannot recommend this book highly enough.” | CULTURE & ARTS |

For the price of a condo in Washington, D.C., you could instead pay for a listing in a dreamy European neighborhood. As one of the nation's most expensive markets, it's hard to know just how much money is actually worth paying to live in the nation's capital. In the neighborhood-level reporting start-up, NeighborhoodX, you can discover how Washington, D.C. housing prices stack up against other global cities. In the map, you will find that residents of Burleith may find more comfort in Salamanca, a neighborhood in Madrid with comparable $454/square foot prices. Those in NoMa could use the same amount of money (around $509/square foot) into an abode in the Dublin neighborhood, Ranelagh. If you'd rather head down South to warmer climates like Mexico, release yourself from your downtown Silver Spring home for a beach resort at Playa del Carmen, which costs around $242/square foot. Of course, in the end, it's all moot because there ain't no city like the District of Columbia. For now, just do yourself a favor and don't research how beautiful those global cities are because it might just make you cry.

| Religious Exceptionalism or smart business move on the part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport management? Usually, retailers and restaurant operators must stay open 365 days a year to win a coveted spot at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Except one — Chick-fil-A, the popular (and profitable) fast-food outlet on Terminal 1’s C Concourse. The Atlanta-based restaurant chain has remained closed on Sunday for nearly 70 years, a testament to founder Truett Cathy’s “faith in God,” according to the company’s website. That’s been the case at the Twin Cities airport for the past three years, as well, despite written rules to the contrary. Some competing eateries, which do open every day, privately grumble that Chick-fil-A gets to play by different rules in the high-stakes airport concession game. ,,, “So essentially, Chick-fil-A with a six-day-a-week operation is outselling nearly all other quick-service restaurants at [the airport] that are open 365 days a year,” Hogan added. “It is very popular, underpinning why it’s important to have national as well as local brands at the airport.” MSP Chick-fil-A s day of rest draws grumbles from some - StarTribune.com | FINANCE & BUSINESS |

| North Dakota was named the first U.S. state authorizing local police departments to fly drones with “less-than-lethal” weapons, including tasers, sound cannons, teargas and non-penetrating firearms, after the passage of House Bill 1328 last week. The initial proposal of the legislation, introduced by Rep. Rick Becker, was aimed at requiring police to obtain search warrants before using drones to seek out criminal evidence. Controversially, however, lobbyist Bruce Burkett, a representative from the North Dakota Peace Officer’s Association, with support of area police, amended the bill, re-writing it to specify that drones could carry anything except weapons capable of lethal force, according to a report by USA Today. Supporters of the new law say that police drones are generally only used to photograph crime scenes, assist in missing-person searches, and perform other non-criminal duties – operating drones with less-than-lethal weapons would only be used in extraordinary circumstances. On the other hand, those strongly opposed argue that these non-lethal weapons have in fact, caused hundreds of deaths in the past decade. “It’s a terrible idea to arm drones, even with so-called nonlethal weapons,” Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union told TechNewsWorld. Stanely adds that tasers alone kill roughly one person a week. Arming drones “would make it too easy to use force – and when things get too easy, they tend to get overused,” said Stanley. “The depersonalization of the decision-making process to employ a weapon on another human being is a very slippery slope,” warned Stanley. Rep. Becker responded to the passing of the modified bill by saying that regardless of the new law, he was not aware of any law enforcement agencies planning to operate weaponized drones. “The committee accepted amendments and I didn’t fight them because I wanted the bill to pass at least to require warrants,” Becker told Ars Technica. “The law says that law enforcements cant use drones weaponized with lethal weapons. But in 2017 when I get back, I will introduce a bill to also include non-lethal,” he stated. North Dakota has been active in drone research and development, and hosts the only drone-testing site approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct flights during the day and at night.

| Whether you fly out to Anaheim later this year or you attend BlizzCon 2015 virtually, a number of in-game goodies will await ticket holders. All of the rewards were officially announced on the Battle.net BlizzCon website and will be claimable once BlizzCon 2015 begins. Across each of the popular Blizzard games, players will have access to pets, mounts, portraits, and more if they purchase a BlizzCon 2015 ticket.
BlizzCon 2015 will be held on November 6 and November 7 in Anaheim, California later this year. The official BlizzCon website indicates that attendees will enjoy game-related panels, a number of eSports competitions, and more whether they physically attend the convention or view it online via Virtual Ticket. Those that do make their way to California will be able to try the latest version of many Blizzard games while the convention runs.
The Nexus Battle Beast that Heroes of the Storm players can use
Of course, all attendees will receive the in-game items listed. A Murkidan pet, a battle pet themed after Illidan, is the World of Warcraft item. Heroes of the Storm fans will receive a Nexus Battle Beast mount for use on characters that can ride atop it. A Blizzard 2015 Card Back skin will be added to players’ options in Hearthstone . Two new portraits will be usable for StarCraft II owners, and Diablo 3 players will receive three items for use in their game. A BlizzCon Pennant, a special murloc pet, and a unique portrait will be available to BlizzCon attendees.
BlizzCon 2015 should be exciting for everyone involved for fans of any of Blizzard’s major titles. Although Legion , the next World of Warcraft expansion, is already announced, fans are likely to see some type of World of Warcraft preview or feature at the convention. The expansion will raise the level cap to 110, add the new Demon Hunter hero class, introduce new artifact weapons, and much more according to the Inquisitr . Moreover, as the two-year anniversary of the first Diablo 3 expansion approaches, many nephalem are hoping another expansion is on the way. BlizzCon 2015 would be a perfect place to announce something like that.
Not to mention, the third installment in StarCraft 2 ‘s trilogy will release just days after BlizzCon giving those that attend the convention an early crack at what is to come. Blizzard’s new IP, Overwatch , will likely be discussed as well as Blizzard’s entry into the film industry with the Warcraft movie.
Will you be attending or watching this year’s BlizzCon?

| September began with a very foggy morning, and it sounds like the morning fog will continue today as well. The humidity seems quite high for September, but I am not complaining either.
Today is Rhys' first day of school for the new school year. I think he is somewhat looking forward to it, but we shall see how he copes with going back to school. Evidenly his favourite part of school is recess (can't say as I blame him, it was my favourite too).
Of his summer camps, he ranks them (1) Field Trip Camp (2) LEGO Camp at the JCC and then the other LEGO camp, so it sounds like he had a good time for the summer, and I think I am glad he had it too.
It seems a tradition ends tomorrow. I have been at Rhys' first day of school since he started going to school, but thanks to having an overloaded work, I will be missing this tradition, which is sad.
This is Rhys' first day of school from two years ago, I can't find a picture from last year. | OTHERS |

| This is a sponsored article on behalf of TryMyKitchen .
If you don't have a Persian grandmother, a Ghanaian cousin or a Japanese best friend, chances are you're missing out on authentic international home-cooking. Fortunately TryMyKitchen is here to help.
Their new booking platform for supper clubs and cooking classes connects you to cooks from around the world right here in the capital. Travel the world within the dining rooms of London!
Organic African
Jason Obeng knows a thing or two about West African cuisine: he used to just sit in his mum's kitchen and watch her for hours. You'll get a real taste of Ghana in Islington when you try his creamy groundnut soup, traditional rice balls, and slow-cooked chichinga with grass-fed chicken. Finish with a coconut dessert with chin chin biscuits. Book your place now for 26 September.
Persian feast
You'll want to arrive hungry at Bita's Mill Hill home. Like Jason, she learnt to cook the best way: "watching and copying my grandmother and mother. Now I wish to share the wonderful tastes, textures and culture of Persian food." We're happy to oblige when the menu is this mouthwatering: organic olives and flavoursome feta, nutty barberry frittata and flower-scented yoghurt, saffron-infused rice and chicken and rhubarb lamb stew. Book your place now for dates from 26 September to 29 October.
Brixton Mexican
Think Mexican means late-night burritos? Thing again. Open your eyes (and mouth) to Dos Corazones' authentic menu of salsas, sopa de frijol and sautéed cactus, plus cheesy chorizo, mole poblano and tinga de pollo, washed down with a refreshing cucumber margarita. We're getting drooly just thinking about it. Book your place now for 26th September.
Taste of Japan
Alice Stern lived in the Far Eastern land where she fell in love with the cuisine's "simplicity, healthiness and beauty" and picked up local tricks of the trade. Travel to Highgate in lieu of Hokkaido to let her share her expertise in temari and maki sushi and green tea sweets and treats along with Japanese alcohol. Book your place now for dates from 25 September to 9 October.
Cook with the experts
If you can't wait for Alice to put on another supper club, let her teach you how to roll the perfect sushi yourself. Or join Balinese Nelly to figure out your way around Indonesian spices and cook up a storm of curry, crackers and condiments in her Camden kitchen. Learn in small, friendly groups, and of course, you'll get to check what a good job you did when you gobble it all up at the end.
For more supper clubs, cooking classes and restaurant experiences, head to TryMyKitchen now, or sign up to host yourself. | FOOD & DRINK |

| Much has been said about Donald Trump's reply to a supporter, over President Obama's possibly being a stealth Muslim. Here is a video with Obama's own words. No one and I mean no one makes a mistake by referring to his Muslim faith, if he is, indeed, a Christian. For 20 years Obama sat in Reverend Wright's congregation, which espouses Black liberation theology. I consider that to be a perversion of Christianity and thus something to be challenged in Obama's claim to be a Christian. | RELIGION |

| If you go down to the park today, you're sure to have a big surprise. West Hollywood Park is now playing host to two lovely ladies, Mauro Perucchetti's female tribute to gender equality and a neon diver in front of the public pool.
Michelangelo 2020: A Tribute to Women by Mauro Perucchetti This contemporary female version of Michelangelo's infamous Renaissance sculpture, 'David', represents the artist's belief in gender equality and portrays the gender-swapped heroine as a strong and courageous figure.
She joins Perucchetti's other work in the park space, Modern Heroes, a homoerotic version of Superman and Batman emulating Michelangelo's 'The Creation of Adam' paintings in an ode to marriage equality.
I love the new addition and the existing sculpture, but it'll be interesting to see what my friends and neighbours think, as when I discussed the Modern Heroes public art they had mixed opinions. Some loved it, whilst others thought it was tacky, or was a PR stunt for the forthcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie.
If you like this new bold, white statue be sure to also check out this other David homage from New York in September 2012 by dEmo & Missoni.
Let's hope she can stand the hot temperatures of the current sweltering heatwave L.A. is experiencing, if not maybe she could take a leaf out of her new neighbour, the Neon Diver, which was previously part of the Route-66 Lights neon sign installation from 2010, but is now standing guard over the West Hollywood outdoor swimming pool.
Diver neon sign It's glad to see that this fun neon sign, which is a replica of the 1950's Virginia Court Motel Diver, didn't go to waste and its new location is totally appropriate, until they start demolishing everything again to build the new pool and parkland.
At least today there were beautifully clear skies to help showcase these recent additions to West Hollywood... | CULTURE & ARTS |

| Jeff Bezos announces Blue Origin’s plans in Florida this morning. (Via webcast.) Updated throughout with details of announcement. Blue Origin, the space venture founded by Jeff Bezos, confirmed plans this morning to build a $200 million space launch and manufacturing facility on Florida’s Space Coast, creating a new base of operations for the company’s orbital space ambitions. We’ll be launching from here later this decade.The company will have manufacturing facility at Exploration Park, south of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, and eventually will conduct orbital launches from Launch Complex 36. “One of the unique things about our Florida operations is that we aren’t just launching here, we’re building here,” Bezos said in prepared remarks during a news conference at the site. “At Exploration Park, we’ll have a 21st century production facility where we’ll focus on manufacturing our reusable fleet of orbital launchers and readying them for flight again and again.” He added later, “We’ll be launching from here later this decade.” At the conclusion of the event, Bezos came back on stage to unveil a rendering of Blue Origin’s future orbital launch rocket, using its BE-4 and BE-3 engines, promising more details next year. “I don’t know how long this will take, but one day, I look forward to having a press conference with you guys in space,” Bezos told the crowd. “Looking forward to it very much.” The news was greeted by officials including Florida Gov. Rick Scott as a major milestone for the commercial space industry and for the region following the end of the Shuttle program. Blue Origin, based south of Seattle in Kent., Wash., is planning to send scientists and researchers to the edge of space in its New Shepard space capsule, using a vertical-launch-and-landing system. In addition, the company is working on an orbital launch system, and it’s developing the BE-4 rocket engine for potential use on United Launch Alliance’s next-generation rockets. In 2013, Blue Origin lost out to SpaceX in a bid to take control of Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center. Blue Origin has posted the prepared text of Bezos’ remarks to announce the news. Today we announced that we’ll be flying our orbital launch vehicle from Florida. Cape Canaveral has long been a gateway to humankind’s greatest adventures. As a kid, I was inspired by the giant Saturn V missions that roared to life from these shores. Now we are thrilled to be coming to the Sunshine State for a new era of exploration. Our new home on the Space Coast is anchored by the launch site at Complex 36. During its 43 years of service, 145 launches thundered into space from this site. The Mariner missions – the first U.S. spacecraft to visit other planets – lifted off from Complex 36. So did Pioneer 10, the first spacecraft to travel through the asteroid belt; Surveyor 1, the first U.S. spacecraft to land softly on the Moon; and multiple weather, communications and national defense payloads hopped their rides to space from LC-36. The site saw its last launch in 2005 and the pad has stood silent for more than 10 years – too long. We can’t wait to fix that. One of the unique things about our Florida operations is that we aren’t just launching here, we’re building here. At Exploration Park, we’ll have a 21st century production facility where we’ll focus on manufacturing our reusable fleet of orbital launchers and readying them for flight again and again. Locating vehicle assembly near our launch site eases the challenge of processing and transporting really big rockets. We’ll be launching from here later this decade. You will hear us before you see us. Our American-made BE-4 engine – the power behind our orbital launch vehicle – will be acceptance tested here. Our BE-4 engine will also help make history as it powers the first flight of United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rocket. Residents of the Space Coast have enjoyed front-row seats to the future for nearly 60 years. Our team’s passion for pioneering is the perfect fit for a community dedicated to forging new frontiers. Keep watching. Gradatim Ferociter! Jeff Bezos We contacted Blue Origin to find out about any impact on the company’s operations in the Seattle area as a result of this morning’s announcement, but the company declined to comment beyond its public statement. | SCIENCE & TECH |

| Monday’s Technical Analysis For: Spot Gold (GLD)
$GLD
Spot gold closed higher Friday.
The high range close set the stage for a steady to higher open Monday.
Stochastics and the RSI are Neutral to Bullish indicating that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.
If Spot Gold extends last week’s rally, the 38% Fibo retracement mark of this year’s decline crossing is the next Northside target.
Closes below the 10-Day MA crossing will confirm that a short term top has marked.
India, the world’s 2nd-biggest Gold buyer after China, imposed the import restrictions last year to avert a trade deficit crisis that pushed the Rupee to record lows.
“Restrictions placed on import of Gold … stand withdrawn with immediate effect,” India’s central bank said in a statement on Saturday, 29 November.
Support for Spot Gold comes from jewelry demand from India in the lead up to and during the wedding season, which starts again in late September. India did record a 176% increase in Gold imports in August to US$2-B from about US$756-M.
Overall, the impact of wedding season Spot Gold buying has faded in recent times as India is no longer the world’s largest Gold consumer, partly because of the on-going government import restrictions on precious metals. If they are further relaxed, perhaps India will regain its Top spot.
India’s Akshaya Tritiya festival considered by India’s more than 900-M Hindus as an auspicious day to buy Gold and Silver , fell on 21 April this year. Bullion is bought in India during festivals and marriages as part of the bridal trousseau or gifted in the form of jewelry by relatives.
Have a terrific week.

Oh great, another foreigner taking a job from a hard-working American. NBC announced today that muscular everyman Arnold Schwarzenegger is the new host of The Celebrity Apprentice , a job held by dipwad Donald Trump until he said some very stupid things and got fired.
NBC says it has cast Arnold Schwarzenegger to star in its next season of "The Celebrity Apprentice," replacing Donald Trump.
— Dave Itzkoff (@ditzkoff) September 14, 2015
In a press release, Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative, and Late Night Programming at NBC Entertainment, called Schwarzenegger, who’s no stranger to controversies , “the epitome of a global brand in entertainment and business, and his accomplishments in the political arena speak for themselves.” That’s executive speak for “people have heard of him.”
Was there a Terminator reference in the statement? Of course there was.
“It was Arnold’s personal passion for the format that Mark Burnett and Donald Trump built over the last decade, as well as his fresh take on how to take it to new heights for today’s audiences, that made him the man to hire. The Celebrity Apprentice … will be back!”
“After leaving the show to run for political office [ ed. note: hahahahahahaha ], Donald made it clear that he wanted The Celebrity Apprentice to be able to continue to raise millions of dollars annually for worthy causes, and now NBC and I have found an amazing new leader to do just that,” said executive producer Mark Burnett. “Gov. Schwarzenegger will use his vast and highly successful business, political, and media experience to drive this hit franchise to new heights.” (Via Deadline )
Skip the season and just release the DVDs, complete with Arnold’s commentary.

| Dudes • 2016 Rubio's Campaign Manager Appears to Sucker-Punch Rand Paul's Political Director in This Video by Rich Smith • Sep 18, 2015 at 11:41 am Tweet Via Yob, here's the video of the alleged punch pic.twitter.com/jsZIVqhstO
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) September 18, 2015
According to Rand Paul's campaign director, John Yob, what you're seeing in that video is the devastating power of Rich Beeson's right jab. But maybe jab is too strong a word? It sort of looks like Beeson just kind of pushes him in the face. This little bout recalls an old rhyming game I used to play as a child: Paul's manager and Rubio's manager were hanging up clothes. Rubio's manager socked Paul's manager right in the nose. What color was his blood? R-E-D! God, the games we play as children are so fucking strange, it's no wonder some of us grow up to be political hacks who throw weak-ass punches in bars. According to The Hill, the two aides were crushing cups in Horn's Gaslight Bar on Mackinac Island, Michigan for a Republican leadership conference. The barkeep's response to the incident makes me proud to be a Midwesterner by birth: Bar owner Patti Ann Moskwa on Yob/Beeson: "Somebody's just trying to get more attention. It's just two babies that can't get along."
— Benjy Sarlin (@BenjySarlin) September 18, 2015
I've contacted reps from both campaigns about whether or not Yob sustained any injuries from the assault, but they haven't got back to me. No word yet, either, on whether Yob is holed up in a steam room somewhere and plotting his revenge. Judging by his Facebook post concerning the event, the grammatically challenged proclaimer only wants one thing: "I am hereby calling on Marco Rubio to fire Rich Beeson effective immediately." | ENTERTAINMENT |

| Supporters of Rowan County, Kentucky clerk Kim Davis protested outside the home of federal judge David Bunning in protest of Bunning’s decision to jail Davis on charges of contempt. Bunning found Davis in contempt after she refused to provide marriage licenses to same-sex couples, a clear violation of the law in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges.
Federal Marshals were called to Bunning’s home to ensure Bunning’s safety. The protestors, which numbered at most at 30 according to WCPO 9 News, demanded that Bunning, not Davis, should be jailed for allegedly denying Davis her due process.
One protestor outside Bunning’s home argued Davis was “unlawfully put in jail”, adding, “Show us the law or free Kim Davis.”
Another protestor, Rev. Flip Benjamin said, “We are holding Judge Bunning in contempt of almighty God”, clearly referencing the charges of contempt Davis faces.
Protestors held up signs that read, “Don’t make a civil right a moral wrong”, “Free Kim Davis”, while another declared Davis a Kentucky and Christian hero.
Supreme Court justices were accused of treason on another sign.
As WCPO notes, Judge Bunning’s ruling against Davis also ordered that her supporters are not allowed to set up a Go Fund Me account to pay for her legal fees.

| Submitted by Lance Roberts via STA Wealth Management, With the 99% of second quarter earnings reports for the S&P 500 now in, I can update my quarterly analysis of earnings and estimate trends through the 2nd quarter of 2015. Second quarter's results improved over Q1 as activity rebounded following the exceptionally cold winter season. For the quarter, operating earnings rose from $25.81 per share to $26.14 which translates into a quarterly increase of 1.28%. More importantly operating earnings FELL from 29.60 per share in Q3 of 2014 or 11.69% from the peak. While operating earnings are widely discussed by analysts and the general media; there are many problems with the way in which these earnings are derived due to one-time charges, inclusion/exclusion of material events, share buybacks and accounting gimmickry to "beat earnings." (For a complete discussion read "The Earnings Season Scandal.") Therefore, from a historical valuation perspective, reported earnings are much more relevant in determining market over/undervaluation levels. On a reported basis, earnings improved from $21.81 to $22.80 or 4.54% from the first quarter. But as with operating earnings, reported earnings fell 17% from their Q3 peak in 2014. The rise in both operating and reported earnings for the quarter brought trailing twelve months operating earnings per share to $108.30 which was down from $111.50, a 2.87% decrease. Trailing twelve months reported earnings fell by $4.34 from $99.25 to $94.91, a decrease of 4.37%. Importantly, the decline in quarterly earnings is consistent with the disinflationary and weak economic underpinnings that have been exacerbated by the collapse in commodity prices, particularly oil. Always Optimistic There is one commodity that Wall Street always has in abundance, "optimism." When it comes to earnings expectations, estimates are always higher regardless of the trends of economic data. The problem is that the difference between expectations and reality has been quite dramatic. In a recent missive entitled the "4 Tools Of Corporate Profitability" I stated: "There is no doubt that corporate profitability has surged from the recessionary lows. However, if I am correct in my assessment, then the recent downturn in corporate profitability may be more than just due to an economic 'soft patch.' The problem with cost cutting, wage suppression, labor hoarding and stock buybacks, along with a myriad of accounting gimmicks, is that there is a finite limit to their effectiveness. While Goldman Sachs expects profits to surge in the coming years ahead - history suggests something different." The chart below compares economic growth (forward projections are at 2% annualized) to earnings growth. Wall Street has always extrapolated earnings growth indefinitely into the future without taking into account the effects of the normal economic and business cycles. This was the same in 2000 and 2007. Unfortunately, the economy neither forgets nor forgives. With estimates once again very optimistic, and given a complete disregard to the late stage of the current economic cycle, there is currently not one Wall Street analyst expecting a recession. Unfortunately, it is only a function of time until the next economic downturn takes hold, particularly given the currently weak global outlook. As shown, earnings tend to cycle regularly between 6% peak to peak and 5% trough to trough growth in earnings. In 2014, expectations exceeded the current 6% peak to peak growth rate. I said then that it was only a question of what will trip up such overly optimistic picture. We now have that answer and real earnings have fallen far short of those original estimates. As I wrote in "Not All That It Seems," the drivers behind the growth in earnings are not entirely organic. I have extended the chart to 2020 showing Jeff Saut's recent extrapolated earnings growth trend. The idea of "permanent liquidity," and the belief of sustained economic growth, despite slowing in China, Japan and the Eurozone, has emboldened analysts to push estimates of corporate profit growth of 6% annually through 2020. Such a steady rise in earnings per share would push levels to more than $183.00 per share. The problem is that such an earnings expansion has never occurred in history as it completely disregards the course of normal business and economic cycles. The problem with forward earnings estimates is that they consistently overestimate reality by roughly 33% historically. The chart below shows the consistently sliding revisions of analyst expectations versus the reality of corporate profitability. At the end of 2014, it was estimated that by Q3 of 2015 reported earnings would reach in excess of $131.07. However, Standard & Poors then revised down their estimates to just $104.03 at the end of Q1 in 2015. As of September, those estimates are now just $93.90 as the economy has failed to recover as expected. Estimates for the end of 2015 have once again been knocked down. While it is hoped that earnings will begin to expand once again by the end of 2015, it is quite likely that such hopes are misplaced given the current state of the global economy and potentially recessionary headwinds. With prices well ahead of expectations, and expectations now on the decline, it is unlikely that this ends well. While there are many that suggest that "this time is different" due to accounting changes, Central Bank stimulus, and low interest rates, history suggests this unlikely to be the case. Accounting Magic What has also been stunning is the surge in corporate profitability despite a lack of revenue growth. Since 2009, the reported earnings per share of corporations has increased by a total of 190%. This is the sharpest post-recession rise in reported EPS in history. The issue is that the sharp increase in earnings did not come from a similar surge in revenue that is reported at the top line of the income statement. Revenue from sales of goods and services has only increased by a marginal 23% during the same period. For profitability to surge, despite rather weak revenue growth, corporations have resorted have resorted to using debt to accelerate share buybacks. The chart below shows the total number of outstanding shares as compared to the difference between operating earnings on a per/share basis before and after buybacks. However, companies are not just borrowing to complete share buybacks but also to issue out dividends. According to the most recent S&P 500 company filings, the level of cash dividends per share have now reached $10.55 which is the highest level on record. It is also the greatest deviation from the long-term trend of dividends per share since the financial crisis (highlighted in blue.) The reality is that share buybacks create an illusion of profitability. If a company earns $0.90 per share and has one million shares outstanding - reducing those shares to 900,000 will increase earnings per share to $1.00. No additional revenue was created; no more product was sold, it is simply accounting magic. Such activities do not spur economic growth or generate real wealth for shareholders. However, share buybacks and cash dividends provide the basis to keep Wall Street satisfied, and stock option compensated executives and large shareholders happy. As I discussed at length in my recent report on "Evaluating 3 Bullish Arguments:" "There is virtually no 'bullish' argument that will currently withstand real scrutiny. Yield analysis is flawed because of the artificial interest rate suppression. It is the same for equity risk premium analysis. Valuations are not cheap, and rising interest rates will slow economic growth. However, because optimistic analysis supports our underlying psychological 'greed,' all real scrutiny to the contrary tends to be dismissed. Unfortunately, it is this 'willful blindness' that eventually leads to a dislocation in the markets." The underpinnings of current earnings growth are something worth watching closely. The recent improvement in the economic reports is likely more ephemeral due to a very sluggish start of the year that has led to a "restocking" cycle. The sustainability of that uptick in the economic data is crucially important if the economy is indeed turning a corner toward stronger growth. Unfortunately, with deflationary pressures rising in the Eurozone, Japan and China, the Affordable Care Act levying higher taxes on individuals, and labor slack remaining stubbornly high, a continuation of a "struggle" through economy is the most likely outcome. This puts overly optimistic earnings estimates in jeopardy of being lowered further in the coming months ahead as stock buybacks slow and corporate cost cutting becomes less effective. Average: 5

ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Turkish police on Tuesday raided the offices of a conglomerate linked to a U.S.-based cleric accused of plotting against President Tayyip Erdogan, a move seen by critics as a bid to silence opposition media two months ahead of an election.
Erdogan, who wants the ruling AK Party to win back a majority in a snap Nov. 1 election, accuses Gulen of seeking to overthrow him by means of a “parallel structure” of supporters in the judiciary, police, the media and other institutions.
Police searched the offices of 23 companies in the Koza Ipek group, whose interests range from mining to TV stations, on suspicion of providing financial support to the “Gulenist Terrorist Group”, the state-run Anadolu Agency said.
It said six people had been detained.
There was no immediate comment from the police. Interior ministry officials declined comment.
Erkan Akkus, news editor at Kanalturk and Bugun TV which are part of Koza Ipek’s media business, said the holding company’s headquarters and the chairman’s home were being searched.
“The aim here is to silence the opposition media ahead of an election,” Akkus told Reuters.
“It is wrong to see this as aimed just at our group. They are starting with us to test the waters, and if it doesn’t spark an outcry, it could then spread to other media groups.”
Koza Ipek Chairman Akin Ipek denied any wrongdoing in a telephone interview with the group’s TV stations and said all documents sought by financial crimes police had been delivered.
“If they find a single illegal penny I will give them the company as a present,” he said.
“It is a total fantasy, an empty slander.”
Shares in Koza Ipek companies, including energy firm Ipek Dogal Enerji and miner Koza Madencilik slumped around 15 percent. Shares in other media firms not affiliated with Gulen also declined amid concern that the searches would widen.
Anadolu Agency said the raids did not target the group’s media companies. Bugun newspaper editor Erhan Basyurt said media firms appeared on the list of companies covered by the search warrant but that their premises had not yet been searched.
Opposition party leaders voiced concern about the police raids, while Turkey’s new European Union Minister Ali Haydar Konca – a member of the pro-Kurdish opposition who joined an interim power-sharing cabinet last week – warned against any raids targeting the media.
“I am worried that operations targeting the media will create great concern across the world about whether Turkey is a democratic country,” he told a news conference.
PROTEST
As a protest against what it said was increasing government pressure on critical media, the Sozcu newspaper – one of Turkey’s highest-circulating dailies – carried no news on its front page and left its editorial columns blank.
“If Sozcu is silent, Turkey is silent,” it said in a banner headline, saying 57 court cases had been opened against the paper in the last year.
Erdogan called the snap poll for Nov. 1 after the Islamist-rooted AK Party he founded and which has governed Turkey for more than a decade failed to forge a coalition with rival parties following an inconclusive June election.
Tuesday’s operation came after a whistleblower account on Twitter named “Fuat Avni”, which has correctly forecast previous police raids, said last week that Erdogan planned a crackdown on media critical of the government ahead of the election.
Last week mainstream daily Milliyet dismissed five prominent journalists.
On Monday, a court charged two British journalists and their translator working for Vice News with having links to a terrorist organisation after they were detained while reporting from the mainly Kurdish southeast.
Late last year, police detained dozens of people in raids on media outlets with ties to Gulen. Some of those journalists have been charged with terrorism-related crimes.
The operation against the Koza-Ipek group added to the worries of investors already rattled by political uncertainty and a surge in fighting between Turkish security forces and Kurdish militants.
“There is a risk that this sort of thing can intensify into the election and it really is underscoring the weak investment climate within Turkey,” said Manik Narain, EM strategist at UBS.
The cleric Gulen, who has lived in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania since 1999, has denied in the past any ambition to overthrow Erdogan. Gulen has also been charged for alleged “terrorist” activities.
The battle between Erdogan and Gulen became public in December 2013 when a corruption investigation targeting Erdogan’s inner circle came to light. Related court cases were subsequently dismissed following a large-scale reorganisation within the police and judiciary.
Erdogan, who was then prime minister, blamed the cleric’s supporters for the corruption allegations and purged thousands of police and members of the judiciary he deemed loyal to Gulen.
In his early years in power, Erdogan drew on Gulen’s influence in the judiciary to help tame the army – which had toppled four governments since 1960, including Turkey’s first Islamist-led cabinet – through a series of coup plot trials.

| Republican Ryan Martinez Announces for State House
Ryan Martinez announced today that he will be a Republican candidate for state representative in House District 39.
Martinez, an aide to U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe, said he will focus his campaign on quality education and supporting business policies that lead to jobs and prosperity.
“As a first-generation college graduate, I am a firm believer in the American dream, and that’s why I’m a conservative and believe it deeply in my heart.
“Oklahoma needs to boldly move forward to improve results in education and continue to invest in transportation, but then government needs to get out of the way and let individuals create prosperity through hard work and ingenuity.
“Oklahoma has to improve its education system by increasing standards and demanding results. We need consolidation of administration in education, higher standards, less testing, more teaching, and meritorious pay increases for teachers” Martinez said.
“First and foremost, our state government should be managed like a business”, Martinez said. He describes himself as a Constitutional conservative and believes common sense should guide state policy.
The seat, which is being vacated by Marian Cooksey, is primarily in west Edmond. “Representative Cooksey has served our district with distinction, and has represented our values from the heart. She will be sorely missed at the Capitol.”
Martinez has worked previously as the Director of Leadership for Oklahoma Speaker of the House T.W. Shannon, was executive director of the Republican State House Committee, field representative for the Oklahoma Republican Party and was campaign manager to state Senator Greg Treat.
He and his wife, Katie, have been married for six years. Martinez, who is a first generation college graduate, worked two jobs to put himself through college debt-free. Ryan is a former executive in the hospitality industry where he managed large staffs and budgets before moving to Oklahoma when Katie went to work for the Tealridge retirement community on the campus of Oklahoma Christian University. Ryan and Katie have spent countless hours serving and assisting the elderly throughout the region.
Martinez also has owned his own public relations consulting business. Ryan and Katie are active members at Memorial Road Church of Christ.

| Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter An SUV was always part of Jaguar’s master plan and the F-Pace has now been officially unveiled ahead of the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show 2015. It is made available in a variety of different specs and with a number of different engines, featuring aluminium construction and a sporty design. The design looks very similar to the C-X17 concept. It gets Jaguar’s lightweight aluminium architecture, which is different to every other Jaguar, despite getting the modular structure. The F-Pace measures 4,731mm in length with a 2,874mm wheelbase and short overhangs. Luggage space is 650-litres. The cheapest model weighs in at just 1,665 kg. The clean, responsive 178 hp (180 PS) 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel is the version that most will opt for thanks to its low emissions of just 129g/km. The range topping model features a supercharged 375 hp (380 PS) 3.0-litre V6 petrol with a 0-100 km/h time of just 5.5 seconds. The top diesel model is a 296 hp (300 PS) 3.0-litre V6 unit with a torque output of 700 Nm. Underneath, the F-Pace will get double wishbone front and integral link rear suspension. This will be coupled with an all wheel drive system, Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD) and several innovative features such as Torque Vectoring, Adaptive Dynamics and Configurable Dynamics. The big Jaguar also gets the All Surface Progress Control (ASPC) to help with traction in poor weather conditions. The InControl Touch Pro is transferred directly from the XE and F-Type versions that we find pretty good. It uses a 10.2 inch tablet-style touchscreen with a Wi-Fi hotspot and 12.3 inch HD instrument cluster. Jaguar are also debuting the Activity Key: a waterproof, wearable wristband with an integrated transponder which is used to open the vehicle. The Jaguar F-Pace First Edition will be available in limited numbers. Just 2,000 will be available worldwide with 200 allocated to the UK. They will feature the 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine, a unique metallic paint colour – Caesium Blue, 22-inch Double Helix 15-spoke wheels with Grey finish and contrast inserts, Adaptive Dynamics, Adaptive LED headlights, Gloss Black fender vents and a panoramic roof. The F-Pace will start from £34,170. There is no word on when the vehicle will be available, although we suspect the first deliveries will take place in 2016.

| How Salem's city officials treat trees tells us a lot about how they treat people.
That's the main message from last night's City Council meeting, where a popular, carefully thought-out proposal for an Urban Tree Commission ran into the chainsaw of Mayor Anna Peterson and six complicit councilors.
Councilor Tom Andersen was the only one to stand up both for Salem's trees and citizenry. He ended up on the short side of a 7-1 vote to reject an Urban Tree Commission.
Today's Statesman Journal story, "Salem City Council axes Urban Tree Commission," tells part of the irritating tale.
The Salem City Council on Monday voted not to establish an Urban Tree Commission, after a public hearing and first reading of an ordinance proposing changes to the city code dealing with removal of trees on city-owned property.
The proposed ordinance included provisions for streamlining and clarifying the appeal, notification and variance processes for tree removal.
The biggest proposed change, the creation of a seven-member Urban Tree Commission, received the most support in public comments submitted to city staff. And numerous residents spoke in favor of the establishment of the commission at the council meeting.
Salem Mayor Anna Peterson opposed the establishment of the commission and made a substitute motion to amend the proposed ordinance, removing the urban tree commission and replacing it with the Salem Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.
I was one of those who testified at last night's hearing.
I told Mayor Peterson and the seven city councilors that I'd read the staff report on this agenda item, along with all the emails and letters received from citizens regarding the proposed tree ordinance revisions -- a central part of which is the creation of an Urban Tree Commission that would handle appeals of street tree removals.
Thirteen individuals and organizations expressed support for an Urban Tree commission. This included six neighborhood associations in Salem, who obviously represent a lot of people.
Only one organization was opposed to an Urban Tree Commission. This was the Salem Realtors Association, who said the commission "will only serve to delay development."
Well, I told the Mayor and City Council that this is why an Urban Tree Commission is needed. Beautiful, large, healthy street trees belonging to the public shouldn't be cut down for no good reason just because someone wants to build a parking lot or whatever.
Tree removal decisions should be based on solid criteria and expert arborist advice.
At a previous council meeting, Kristin Ramstad, an Urban Forester with the State of Oregon who has 20 years of experience, testified that similar commissions in other Oregon cities provide expert advice on tree issues that often is superior to what city staff can offer -- since these volunteers frequently have more arborist knowledge.
But last night the Mayor and city councilors were told that no one, repeat, no one, on the Salem Parks and Recreation Advisory Board has any tree expertise. So it will require someone leaving the Advisory Board to allow the addition of a new member who has the sort of knowledge common on an Urban Tree Commission.
Thus there were no good reasons offered up at yesterday's City Council meeting for why the Urban Tree Commission proposal was being axed. Which is fitting, since City officials have a history of providing no good reasons for why large, healthy street trees are cut down.
This is so typical of how Mayor Peterson and her mostly right-wing city council allies operate these days. Public hearings are a sham. Public outreach is a sham. Public participation is a sham. Public testimony is a sham.
Peterson and Co. go through the motions of asking citizens what they think. In this case, a broad-based Tree Code Citizens Advisory Committee worked long and hard to come up with needed revisions to Salem's tree ordinance, Chapter 86.
Result: the committee recommended forming an Urban Tree Commission.
Then City staff held a bunch of outreach meetings with neighborhood associations and other groups where the proposed ordinance changes were explained. This included asking the public to submit comments on the revised tree ordinance.
Result: 13 individuals and organizations were in favor of an Urban Tree Commission, with only 1 organization opposed -- the Salem Realtors Association.
Then the City held a public hearing last night on the proposed revisions to the tree ordinance. A handful of people testified, 5 or 6, I believe.
Result: I recall that every person supported an Urban Tree Commission.
So then we get to the vote by Mayor Peterson and the city councilors. The first thing Peterson does is put forth a substitute motion to ax the Urban Tree Commission and substitute the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.
Where did that notion come from?
So far as I know, prior to the hearing nobody except Peterson was on record as being in favor of it, nobody. Everybody who had weighed in on this had said, "We want an Urban Tree Commission."
Yet when it comes time to vote, Peterson's motion wins 7-1. So much for democracy. So much for listening to the public. So much for respecting virtually unanimous citizen input.
The Salem Realtors Association and Mayor Peterson didn't want an Urban Tree Commission. A compliant city council, with the exception of Councilor Tom Andersen, gave special interests what they wanted -- an axing of the Urban Tree Commission.
Shameful? Yes. Typical for the Mayor and City Council? Yes. Healthy for the citizens of Salem and our tree friends? NO.
While the tree was alive, I made friends with a beautiful Japanese Zelkova on State Street before it was cut down in 2013 because of a backroom deal between Peter Fernandez, the City Public Works Director, and Ryan Allbritton, the US Bank president.
(Photo below.)
The tree wouldn't be happy with what the City Council did last night. Neither am I.
Hopefully Salem citizens will remember the axing of the Urban Tree Commission when it comes time to vote in the next local election.
When city officials treat citizen input as badly as they've been treating trees, there is really good reason to say "goodbye" to them. | ENVIRONMENT & ANIMALS |

| DEAR JOHN: “Far be it from me to interrupt the Trumpian chest-beating on the right at Boehner’s announced resignation,” Andrew Klavan writes, “but I still can’t help having some sympathy for the guy:”
I can’t help but notice that under Boehner — and largely because of Boehner, because Boehner outsmarted President Obama in the 2013 budget negotiations — federal spending has declined over a five year period for the first time since the post World War II cutbacks. And because of this, as the economy has struggled to a sputtering recovery despite Democrat mismanagement, the deficit has been sharply reduced…
Also under Boehner — and also largely because of then-minority leader Boehner (and the likewise much-maligned-by-conservatives Mitch McConnell in the Senate) — the disaster of Obamacare is 100% attributable to the Democrats. It hasn’t got a single Republican fingerprint on it.
Serious question: without control of the White House and without a veto-proof majority in the Senate, what would you wanted to have seen from a GOP Speaker?

I have shared with readers in SSI that personally I do not really think that the above two measures in any way help the retail investors.

| Amazing performance by Tobey Maguire in this gripping and yet helplessly funny biographical drama about late chess legend Bobby Fischer Before there were the likes of Magnus Carlsen and Garry Kasparov, the late Robert James "Bobby" Fischer once rocked the world in the game of chess from the 60s to 90s and is still regarded as the greatest chess player of all time by many experts and fans. However, his apparent mental health and stubborn attitude caused the downfall of both his career and life. Pawn Sacrifice focuses mostly on his early life and the historical rivalry against the USSR's Boris Spassky during the Cold War from the 60s to 70s.
Although it's based on true story with likely dramatisations, the story may seem highly familiar -- a troubled genius whose work is as important if not more than his own reasons and ends up developing health problems. Titles that came to mind were A Beautiful Mind (2001) and A Theory of Everything (2014), which many would easily regard that these were far more superior films. But nevertheless, Pawn Sacrifice holds its own as a strong character-driven drama with elements of thriller and comedy, and most credits go to the former Amazing Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire, who portrays Bobby Fischer like he was in the alien symbiote in Spider-Man 3 (2007) on steroids with explosive temper, arrogance, thrilling paranoia and a depth that's never quite fully explored.
It is uncertain how accurate (or inaccurate) the film is but it seems to blame Fischer's mother, Regina (Robin Weigert), and the war for triggering his genius mind to become utterly paranoid and sensitive to practically anything. The sadness and frustration of Fischer's condition, along with the portrayed arrogance and charm, are the main source of entertainment. At times you'd feel like giving him a slap for taking everything for granted without ever being considerate to those who're trying their best to help him, but at the same time, you'd also fear that his own doings and psychological issues would cause him the victory in the World Championship that he dedicated his life for.
Like typical American films, the protagonist is portrayed to be a small underdog while the antagonist is a huge intimidating Russian, when in fact Fischer was much taller than Boris Spassky in real life. Spassky is played by Liev Schreiber, who was also in a superhero franchise as Sabretooth in the X-Men films. From the direction of Oscar-winning producer-director Edward Zwick (Love & Other Drugs, The Last Samurai) and the script written by Steven Knight (Seventh Son, Locke), the narrative and character development are far from even. Besides just being the ultimate rival, Schreiber gets a few more scenes to show that Spassky's not a bad person, however not enough for the audience to truly know who this person was, unlike great films like Rush (2013) that offers both sides of the story between two champions.
Fischer's loyal assistants William Lombardy (Peter Sarsgaard) and Paul Marshall (Michael Stuhlbarg), too, are vague characters who'd stick by Fischer regardless of how he is. But what are their story? Why did Lombardy retire and become a cool priest who drinks and smokes? Why is Marshall so patriotic that he'd give in to all of Fischer's unreasonable demands?
The film isn't so much about the passion for the game of chess. It doesn't even clearly show what moves the characters make on the board. It is mostly done so verbally. The audience would either just know it or don't at all, like myself. I've still no idea what "Sicilian" or any style of play mentioned are, nor do I understand how the characters win or lose. However, the chess match scenes are still very dramatically intense, through the engaging expressions of the actors along with the depiction of how this rivalry is viewed by the media and the world as the war of status between two of the most powerful countries.
The film ends with a crowd-pleaser and a rather heartlessly casual brief epilogue on Fischer's gradual demise after, which may intrigue the audience to find out more about this, as what former top chess player Garry Kasparov called Fischer's grave, "great unfulfilled hope".
What I would've named the film: "Venom Symbiote Meets Bobby Fischer"
Malaysia censorship: Nothing seems to be cut at the press screening and I don't think there's anything that needs to be censored anyway.
Second opinion: My girlfriend said that even though she knows nothing about chess nor does know how to play the game at all, she enjoyed the movie.
Verdict: Although it may not showcase the true genius and downfall of Bobby Fischer, Pawn Sacrifice is an entertaining film even for non-chess players.

BOSTON -- There are still just 1 1/2 games separating the New York Yankees from the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East race, but it certainly seems as if the Yankees have to work a lot harder for their wins than the Blue Jays do.
The Yankees had to work exceptionally hard to nail down Wednesday's 13-8 victory over the Boston Red Sox, who are going nowhere, despite having a 12-1 lead at the halfway point of the game and Masahiro Tanaka on the mound.
Still, it came down to Joe Girardi manipulating his bullpen as if it were the seventh game of the World Series, and having to use both his set-up man, Dellin Betances, and his closer, Andrew Miller, to hold off the rallying Red Sox.
But the reason was clear even before the Blue Jays took the field against the Cleveland Indians, and it became even clearer as a dozen Yankees sat watching in the postgame clubhouse as Toronto jumped out to an early 5-0 lead, including a daring dash home from third by Josh Donaldson on a pop fly to shallow center that was caught by the second baseman.
The Blue Jays are playing like a team possessed. The Yankees?
They are playing with a different kind of desperation. As Girardi said in explanation of his bullpen machinations, "This is not a game that you can afford to let get away."
In truth, there aren't many, if any, of those types of games left on the schedule.
So as odd as it may have appeared for Girardi to have Betances warming up in a 13-5 game, and as heartless as it was for him to hit for Rico Noel, who had been added as a pinch runner but found himself in the outfield when the game became less of a laugher, and as risky as it was for Girardi to use Miller -- a move that almost backfired when Brock Holt hit a sizzler off his right leg -- there was a method to Girardi's madness, and a payoff for his desperation.
"At this time of the year, and the situation we're in," Girardi said, "a win is a win and we've got an off-day tomorrow. Everybody can rest tomorrow."
It may seem a bit early for that kind of damn-the-torpedoes approach, since the Yankees still have 30 games left, and after Thursday's day off, will play them in a span of 31 days. But with the Blue Jays seemingly winning every night, there really is no other choice.
Yes, Girardi could have done some things differently in this one, and there was an element of inconsistency in his approach; if he truly feared that his team's lead was not safe in Fenway, then why go to Andrew Bailey to relieve Tanaka in the sixth, considering Bailey had not pitched in a major league game in 26 months? Bailey's rust was obvious as he faced four batters, walked two of them, and allowed a sacrifice fly and an RBI single before Girardi decided to pull him.
And if Noel was here strictly to be used in pinch-running situations, why did Girardi send him to right field to replace Carlos Beltran in the seventh inning, knowing his spot in the order would come around again in the next inning?
Why go to Bryan Mitchell when you have Adam Warren? If you're warming up Miller anyway, why start the ninth with Caleb Cotham?
Why, why, why? All of these decisions made what should have been an easy win into something of a nail-biter, but luckily for Girardi, Betances and Miller bailed out the rest of the team, as they have all season. The real point is, neither of them should have had to be used in a game like this. And you have to wonder how many more games like this Betances, Miller, Girardi's nerves and the Yankees can withstand over the next month.
The good news was the Yankees offense made this an easy one early. Stephen Drew, who has gone from inept to unconscious in the space of a week, had three hits, including a three-run home run in the third inning, his 17th of the season, more than every AL second baseman not named Brian Dozier.
Rookie Greg Bird, who is the everyday first baseman until further notice, hit a laser into the right-field seats in the second, and John Ryan Murphy, giving Brian McCann a day off, followed with his own home run over the Green Monster. Beltran got into the act in the eight-run third with a two-run shot, his 14th, and Didi Gregorius, who had an excellent road trip, added a solo shot in the fifth.
Tanaka, who had benefited greatly from outstanding run support in two starts this month -- the Yankees scored 13 runs in his start here on Aug. 4 and 15 runs in Atlanta on Friday -- found himself with a dozen runs to play with.
But Tanaka was at less than his best, allowing some hard-hit balls early and being charged with four runs in 6 1/3 innings. Still, it seemed like a smooth road to victory before the Yankees bullpen, and the quirks of Fenway Park, began conspiring to chip away at the lead. The cliché about no lead being safe here was showing why it has a basis in fact when the Red Sox loaded the bases and scored twice in the seventh and eighth innings and opened the ninth with a pair of doubles off Cotham before Girardi turned to Miller to end the laugher before it turned into tragedy.
"We were hoping not to use them," Girardi said of Miller and Betances. "But we felt, in a sense, we had to stop each inning and we didn't want to let it get out of hand. It didn't work that way. But when you're up 12-1, you can't let this game get away from you, and we didn't."
If this is what it takes for the Yankees to keep up with the Blue Jays, then so be it. But how many more of these can they -- and we -- take? | SPORTS |

[caption id="attachment_93551" align="alignright" width="524"] Minister of Education Science and Technology Dr. Emmanuel Fabiano and Mrs Lonely Magreta , the PS of education, sharing notes as education reforms gets approved by President - Pic by Stanley Makuti[/caption]
Public Service Reforms Management Unit spokesperson,Constance Kilimo, confirmed that President Peter Muntharika has approved the reforms, saying the organisations were communicated to “ start implementation from October 1 (2015). “
Pupils and guardians who want to have documentation on the PSLCE will have to request the Malawi National Examination Board (MANEB for a transcript, according to Kalimo.
Kalimo said Maneb will be saving K20 000 million in printing costs of PSLCE and another K20 000 billion on the decision concerning JCE.
Maneb proposed to abolish JCE as they believe that the paper has lost value and is not in demand by employers.
Commenting in the Daily Times newspaper, education expert Dr Steve Sharra said the rationale behind the decisions seems to be more about economic necessity than changes in the society. | EDUCATION |

| SPORTS Derek Carr to undergo MRI on injured hand Monday, September 14, 2015 01:09PM Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will have an MRI on his injured hand Monday, and the team doesn't expect him to play Sunday, sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
Carr injured his hand in the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and was replaced by Matt McGloin.
The Raiders have reached out to quarterback Christian Ponder, who is interested in returning to the team, sources told Mortensen. Ponder was cut when Oakland reduced its roster to 53.
Citing family reasons, Ponder turned down a chance to work out for the Eagles on Tuesday, sources said.
Carr was injured when he tried to stiff-arm Bengals cornerback Adam Jones on a run on third-and-9. The quarterback was not on the sideline for the start of the second half.
"It's a huge blow," rookie receiver Amari Cooper said. "He's our starting quarterback and the leader of our offense. We need him. We'll see how it plays out."
A 2014 second-round pick, Carr was the only rookie quarterback to start every game last season. He completed 7 of 12 passes for 61 yards Sunday. The Bengals led 10-0 when he left the game.
In other Oakland injury news, the Raiders fear safety Nate Allenhas torn his ACL, and he will undergo more testing Monday. Starting safety Charles Woodson is scheduled for an MRI after injuring his shoulder Sunday.
ESPN Insider Adam Schefter, ESPN Raiders reporter Bill Williamson and The Associated Press contributed to this report. Related Video Bengals make easy work of Raiders in opener

| The 2015 Optimist National Championships in Slovenia were held last weekend in Koper. Malta's four strong team made up of Craig Farrugia Vella together with Antonia, Richard and Victoria Schultheis, had quite a challenge ahead of them with strong winds and stiff competition throughout the regatta. All four sailors managed to make it to the Gold fleet. Craig Farrugia Vella sailed very well with two 2nd placings and a 1st but dropped a back a bit in the following four races. Nevertheless, this did not stop him ending up overall in 3rd place. Victoria Schultheis also sailed extremely well throughout with a 2nd, 3rd and 4th among her placings. It was her 22nd position that set her back but coming in 4th behind Craig in the overall list meant that she was the first girl in the fleet on the leader board. Young Richard Schultheis started off the event with two 3rd placings but lost out a bit in the last few races. Still ranked as a Cadet, Richard has a few more years to go on the Oppies and will, no doubt, be someone to look out for on the International Oppie scene over the next few years. His overall placing was 11th in the Gold fleet and 3rd Cadet. Antonia Schultheis, also in the Gold fleet, started the event very well with a first placing in her second race. If it wasn't for two races in which she was black flagged her overall position would have been higher up the ladder. Her final position being 37th in the Gold fleet and 11th female. These four young sailors have had quite an eventful summer season racing and training all over Europe giving them more and more experience racing at an international level. The next big Optimist event to take place in Malta is the Euromed Championships. This annual International Regatta grows each year with some of the best Oppie sailors in the world participating. You can find out more details about the EUROMED on this LINK. Pics taken below by Andrea Schultheis (Click on the pic to enlarge) | SPORTS |

| What’s Cooking in the Kitchen? Part One September 15th, 2015 BY [email protected] September and October seem to be months in which the focus of many shelter magazines turns to kitchens. Perhaps this is because we are coming inside from a summer of grills and outdoor living and realize that our kitchens might need some work! As Bill Soupcoff, AIA, one of TMS’s principals always says…”It doesn’t matter whether a home is historic or modern; the kitchen is still the heart of the American home.” The variety of materials and styles used in kitchen design can be daunting so we are breaking the possibilities down into categories: counter tops, high tech appliances, cabinetry and plumbing fixtures. Today our focus is on the many counter top choices available for new construction or a renovation of your kitchen, depending upon your style and budget Leading in popularity is still granite; durable, hardworking and available in a variety of colors and textures. Polished granite is the most common surface material but we are beginning to see “leathered” and honed granite with a matte finish as well. This TMS designed kitchen, North Shore Estate, uses polished dark granite with ogee profiled edges on the large island and counter top. Source: Rison Photography In addition to granite, soapstone is frequently used as it has a matte finish, is stain and bacteria resistant and available in a spectrum of gray tones from light to dark. Soapstone was used in the kitchen of this TMS project, Oceanfront Outlook. Soapstone is used on these kitchen counters while the island features a marble top. Source: Karosis Photography Metals are another source of counter top materials that are gaining in popularity. Stainless steel has moved out of commercial kitchens and are showing up in residential projects. The material is very hygenic as it inhibits the growth of bacteria, is very east to clean with soap and water and imparts a modern, industrial look. TMS Architects used another metal, bronze with a rubbed black finish, in this Seaside Renovation kitchen . The TMS designed Seaside Renovation has a dramatic bronze island combined with marble counter tops. Source: Karosis Photography Wood is also making an appearance in many kitchens such as shown in this very innovative counter top trend which uses in which the organic edge of the tree remains and the grain is highlighted. Live Edge spruce slab kitchen island countertop. Source: antiquelumbermkt.com Another recent TMS project featured a mixture of materials with a dramatic curved wooden counter and granite installed near the sink. Mixing materials in kitchen design is becoming increasingly popular as people realize that they can use combine disparate materials together for a dramatic or unique look. A combination of a wood and granite is used in this TMS-design kitchen. Source: Karosis Photography Other materials for counter tops include quartz, glass, concrete, and a variety of recycled products as well. If you have any questions on your kitchen or the right material for you, please contact TMS Architects.

| AUBURN – In his heart, he is a defensive bruiser. But his mind is geared toward offensive finesse. So, Gresch Jensen blends both as a quarterback. “What kind of makes me unique as a quarterback, I feel, is that I really have that defensive mentality,” the Auburn Mountainview senior said. “So I can play with those defensive guys and I can get into that mindset that I don’t see a lot of quarterbacks having.

“Defense is probably my first love … but I really like the quarterback position and the challenge and the preparation that goes into a quarterback. It’s so detail-oriented, and the mechanics, the challenge, I really enjoy it.” Jensen (6-2, 210) gets one last season of playing both ways before heading to the University of Montana, where he was drawn in part because his parents attended there and they have family in the vicinity. Mountainview coach Jared Gervais occasionally cringes when Jensen makes a big hit as a defensive back, but said the Lions need him there if they are going to contend for a 3A state championship – which is the ultimate goal. The Lions, ranked No. 4 in The Associated Press preseason poll, got their first-ever taste of the state playoffs last year and wound up with a sour experience in the opening round against Shadle Park. Jensen sprained his left knee on the third drive and a close game spiraled into a 42-21 loss. “I really felt we could have taken that game down to the wire,” said Jensen, who was able to rehabilitate the knee through therapy. Jensen completed 122 of 209 passes for 1,558 yards with 15 touchdowns during the 2014 regular season and also ran for 585 yards and eight scores. Jensen is a hard-core student of the game and admits he’s a bit of a perfectionist. Gervais marvels at his drive and focus on accomplishing goals. “I might someday have a quarterback who’s as physically talented as him again, and another kid who might be as mentally focused as him, but it’s going to be pretty crazy to have another kid who’s that talented and that focused,” the coach said. Jensen believes the team overall is bigger, faster and stronger than last season, and he himself added 15 pounds. “I feel great,” he said. “I feel like I’m a way better player than I was this time last year. I’m just excited and can’t wait for that first game.” That first completion, that first hit – this quarterback will savor both. | SPORTS |

| My dear friends... Here's a card inspired by the Unity Be Inspired Challenge currently on. I used an embossed card base and added different papers and cardstock with the colors of the challenge, to frame the image in the center, which is a stamp from Unity Stamp Co. Also added a punched corrugated black carton to which I inserted a big eyelet. I love the final result. Simple, CAS style, and beautiful. Very cool for a coffee lover special someone.

| DENVER (AP) – Denver Public Schools are setting a new $12 minimum hourly wage for district employees.
The new minimum wage takes effect Tuesday and it’s made possible by more than $20 million in savings from a reduction in employee contributions to the state’s Public Employees’ Retirement Association. Legislation signed into law this year reduced the amount Denver school employees contribute to the state’s retirement system so that it aligns with what other Colorado districts pay.
DPS officials say the wage increase benefits 300 custodians, 500 food-service workers, and 700 paraprofessionals. Some employees have been making about $9 per hour.
In all, the district says 1,700 employees will benefit.
Next year, DPS teachers will see average salary increases of 5.6 percent.

| Ephesians 4:29-32 (NIV)
"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." | RELIGION |
