http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/first-line-of-new-rebus-novel-revealed-1-4261765

The first line of the new Rebus book by Ian Rankin has been revealed ahead of its publication on November 3rd. ‘Rather be the Devil’ is the 21st novel in the popular detective series set in Edinburgh. The novel sees Rebus investigating an unsolved case that has always preyed on his mind as new players enter the scene in the Capital. However, with the launch of the book just over three weeks away, the first teaser has been released, and if the first line is anything to go by, it is clear that it is the same, calculating Rebus we all know and love. The first line is as follows; “Rebus placed his knife and fork on the empty plate, then leaned back in his chair, studying the other diners in the restaurant. ‘Someone was murdered here, you know,’ he announced. “

Ein Toter nach Explosion bei BASF - Video zeigt gigantische Feuersäule Auf dem Gelände des Chemieriesen BASF in Ludwigshafen ist es zu einer gewaltigen Explosion gekommen. Mindestens ein Mensch ist dabei getötet worden, einige Personen werden noch vermisst. Zuvor gab es bereits in einem anderen Werk einen Unfall. Bei der Explosion und mehreren Bränden beim Chemiekonzern BASF in Ludwigshafen ist am Montag mindestens ein Mensch ums Leben gekommen. Sechs Menschen würden noch vermisst, sechs weitere seien verletzt worden, sagte Werksleiter Uwe Liebelt am Nachmittag auf einer Pressekonferenz. Gefährdungen der Bevölkerung durch die Luft seien derzeit nicht messbar. Welche Stoffe bei dem Vorfall frei wurden, war zunächst unklar. Die genaue Ursache müsse noch ermittelt werden Über dem Nordhafen von Ludwigshafen stiegen am Montag Vormittag gegen 11.30 Uhr eine meterhohe Feuersäule und eine dichte schwarze Qualmwolke auf. Der Grund: Bei Arbeiten an einer Rohrleitungsstrasse auf dem Gelände des Chemieriesen BASF war es zu einer Explosion und Folgebränden gekommen, wie das Unternehmen auf seiner Homepage mitteilte. Die genaue Ursache werde noch ermittelt. BASF schlägt in dem Hafen brennbare Stoffe und Gase um. Die Stadt Ludwigshafen schreibt auf einer Krisenseite zum Thema zudem, dass neben dem bestätigten Toten noch mehrere Personen vermisst würden. Einsatzkräfte aus der gesamten Region sind im Einsatz, unter anderem mit Löschbooten. Nach der Explosion hat der Konzern in Ludwigshafen seine zentralen Produktionsanlagen vorsichtshalber stillgelegt. Die sogenannten Steamcracker seien aus Sicherheitsgründen heruntergefahren worden, sagte eine Firmensprecherin. Die Cracker sind an dem Standort die Herzstücke, in den Anlagen werden petrochemische Ausgangsstoffe aufgespalten. Weiterer Unfall bei BASF in Lampertsheim Ein Video, dass ein User aus einem Flugzeug gefilmt und auf Youtube veröffentlicht hat, zeigt die meterhohen Flammen: Die Feuerwehr gab indes eine Gefahrenwarnung heraus. Anwohner wurden aufgefordert, Türen und Fenster geschlossen zu halten sowie Lüftungs- und Klimaanlagen abzuschalten. Autofahrer sollten den Bereich großräumig umfahren. Es könne zu Geruchsbelästigungen und Sichtbehinderungen in den nördlichen Stadtteilen kommen. Am Morgen war es bereits am Standort Lampertheim zu einer Verpuffung am Filter einer Anlage für Kunststoffzusätze gekommen. Dabei zogen sich vier Mitarbeiter Verletzungen zu, wie BASF mitteilte. Die Anlage wurde abgestellt. Eine Umweltverseuchung sei nicht festgestellt worden. Auch in diesem Fall sei die Ursache noch unbekannt, die Behörden seien informiert.

http://www.citypages.com/news/star-tribune-owner-glen-taylor-id-buy-the-pipress-but-the-justice-department-has-no-chill/397592031

Glen Taylor's one of the last people in America who wants to buy a newspaper. That statement would be accurate even if the Minnesota billionaire was just trying to buy a single copy. As it happens, he's looking to buy the whole operation. Taylor, owner of the Minneapolis Star Tribune (and, therefore, City Pages), the Minnesota Timberwolves, and a host of other businesses, from communications, to printing, to pigs, was recently interviewed by the Twin Cities Business magazine, which made note of the "modest office" Taylor works out of in Mankato. A large part of that Q&A focused on Taylor's management of the Timberwolves, a promising NBA franchise that started last year on a tragic note, with the death of head coach Flip Saunders. A very small bit of it was about the Minnesota Lynx, the mid-dynasty WNBA franchise which, tomorrow, is looking to win its fourth WNBA championship in six years. Taylor also fielded another set of questions on the Star Tribune. Taylor said he's "glad" he bought the newspaper instead of letting it twist in the wind. "The difficulties in newspaper economics don't produce a lot of potential buyers." In fact, Taylor cares so much about his newspaper, he's planning for its life to go on even after his: Taylor, 75, says he's looking to establish a foundation that would continue to handle the Star Tribune when he dies, instead of trying to land another local owner -- and one who won't drive the whole thing into the ground. That's effectively what's happening across the river, at the St. Paul Pioneer Press, where hedge fund parasites at Alden Global Capital are squeezing every last cent from an ever-shrinking revenue stream. The money managers don't even particularly want to be in the newspaper business, and would probably sell to anyone willing to hit the right price. Glen Taylor is such a person, but he says one man owning both papers -- ostensibly competitors in the same metropolitan market -- would undoubtedly be met with wary eyes from the Department of Justice. The antitrust hawks at the Justice Department recently intervened to fight a proposed merger of the Los Angeles Times and the Orange County Register, saying there were "serious" issues when the deal was viewed "from a competition perspective." So long as that's the feds' position, Taylor says his attorneys tell him to not even bid for the St. Paul newspaper. Though he wants to. "If the regulatory environment changed," Taylor says, "as good businesspeople we would do it, and it probably would be a good thing for our citizens and for the efficiency of our business." Dave Orrick, an officer with the Pioneer Press guild, is among the newspaper staffers who've struck out on their own, trying to find a local buyer. Orrick tells City Pages he's aware of Taylor's position, and wishes there were a few more Glen Taylors around. Even just one. "We're the Twin Cities, and each city deserves its own paper," says Orrick, a veteran outdoors writer for the Pioneer Press. "In a perfect world, Glen Taylor would have a twin brother who could buy the Pioneer Press to protect it from the continued cuts our hedge fund owner is demanding."

ROTHERHAM UNITED have sacked manager Alan Stubbs following the club’s fraught start to the Championship campaign - and are now searching for their fifth boss in 13 months. Stubbs, who had been in charge at the New York Stadium for just 140 days after leaving Hibernian to take over at the start of June, has paid the price for the Millers’ punishing run of early-season form - with the club having lost their last six league matches. READ MORE - VIDEO: First day on the job: Stubbs sets sights on a Championship play-off push Stubbs had presided over just one league win in 13 games this term, with the club’s winless Championship streak stretching to nine matches after last night’s 4-2 loss at Birmingham. The defeat at St Andrews was the rock-bottom Millers’ seventh on the spin away from home, conceding a massive 23 goals along the way. A club statement read: “Rotherham United have parted company with first team manager Alan Stubbs, assistant manager John Doolan and first team coach Andy Holden with immediate effect. “Following a board meeting this morning, it was felt that a change of first team management was needed to give the club the best possible opportunity to preserve our Championship status. “The club would like to place on record our thanks to Alan, John and Andy for their effort and professionalism, and we wish them well for the future. “The board have now started the process of appointing a new first team manager. “The club will be making no further comment at this stage.”

http://www.citypages.com/music/minnesota-photographer-adam-degross-snaps-up-gigs-with-pbr-aap-ferg-joyce-manor/397377871

Considering the eventful year he’s had, it’s a little surprising that Adam DeGross still has a day job at a grocery store. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s just that some of the Minneapolis photographer and videographer’s recent moves seem to indicate a guy who is well on his way to wide renown, even riches. For one thing, there’s DeGross’ newly announced deal with Pabst Blue Ribbon, through which a number of his concert photos will cover cans, boxes, and displays all around the country beginning March 1. For another, there’s the two weeks he spent on tour with Harlem rap star A$AP Ferg earlier this year, plus the upcoming Ferg video he flew to Los Angeles to direct. Oh, and have you seen the cover art for Joyce Manor’s buzzing new album? You guessed it: DeGross shot that, too. No matter who or what he’s shooting, DeGross is turning more and more heads. Lately, social media has been a big factor in his progress. He has more than 11,000 followers on Instagram, where he posts pretty much every day. Days before the Ferg video shoot, City Pages spoke to DeGross -- who's also an occasional CP contributor -- about the PBR deal, his relationship with Ferg, his latest book of photos, and more. City Pages: You’ve been a photographer for about a decade, but a lot of extraordinarily good things are happening for you back to back to back. Why do you think that is? Adam DeGross: It all kinda came together, and it doesn’t seem to be stopping. I feel like when people catch on to something, it gets rolling. It’s crazy because it all happened through Instagram, mainly. When I first got an Instagram -- I haven’t really had it for that long -- that’s when things started taking off. CP: How did the PBR deal originally come about? AD: That was off of Instagram. I would start tagging photos of PBR in [photos], and all of a sudden I got this message from one of the guys there. He’s like, “We wanna use your photos for the cans and stuff like that, and then boxes.” The dude originally hit me up like, “Can I use some of your photos for our Instagram posts? I’ll give you some money for that.” They hit me up for my photos. It took a little longer than normal because they never had a live photo on a can before. They were trying to see how that works. But it looks good. It’s crowds, and a dude with a big mohawk singing. It’s kind of like my standard punk stuff. I can’t post it yet, but it looks good. CP: How did you first get in touch with ASAP Ferg? AD: It was crazy ‘cause when I first got Instagram, I was just posting older photos. The first rap show I ever shot was A$AP Ferg and Bone Thugs. I went to that, and I did some photos for it, and I posted some A$AP Ferg shots. He commented saying, “Yo, DM me.” I never knew how to DM anybody; I had to look up how to do it [laughs]. He’s like, “Yeah, I really like your stuff.” It said “A$AP Ferg followed you,” and at the time he was only following like 10 people. It was crazy. He was like, “Yeah, man, I really like your stuff. I like what you’re doing. I’ll hit you up. Maybe we can work together sometime.” And one day, [Ferg] came back [to Minneapolis] with G-Eazy at Target Center. I finessed my way into a photo pass. I did the photos, and the next day I posted them, and he started commenting: “Yo, DM me right now. Let me get your phone number.” He called me and he’s like, “Can you go, can you just leave and go on tour with me, like, right now?” I was with him for about two weeks, getting all this stuff done, getting live shots, 15- or 30-second videos on Instagram. CP: Ferg’s videos tend to get millions and millions of views. Since you don’t have a ton of experience with music videos, are you feeling intimidated about the shoot at all? AD: Yeah, honestly. I got a DM from him: “Yo, can I call you?” He’s like, “Hey man, I’m doing this video for the new album that’s going to come out. We want it to look like your photos, like a wild punk show.” The video’s going to be like a punk show for his [music]. There’s going to be like a real show with real bands at a real venue, a punk venue, with him performing. I never thought I’d get into video. I’m still not completely there, but I’m happy that he trusts my vision to make it what he wants. CP: You come from a background of punk and heavy music, but you’re shooting more and more rappers. What do you like about shooting hip-hop shows? AD: Lil Yachty came [to Minneapolis] and that was more of a punk show than any punk show I’ve been to in years. The energy at those shows is crazy. It’s exactly like punk. At these hip-hop shows, people just lose it. It’s kinda how I used to feel about punk when I was younger. Travis Scott came to the Fine Line and changed my whole vision of what hip-hop shows are like. It was like seeing the Bad Brains or an old hardcore show. I was like, man, there’s this movement going on that I need to be a part of, or at least document. People should realize that and open their minds up to new things, and not be stuck in one little spot. CP: How did your latest book of photos, Fuck You, We Rule OK!, come together? AD: That was a collection of street punk photos from this festival [Fuck You, We Rule OK!] that happens each year in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Those are some of my more dynamic punk photos that I get every single year, because everyone’s decked out and got the mohawks. Everyone looks crazy at those shows and everyone goes off; people are losing their minds at that festival. It’s been going around underground websites; you can’t go to Barnes & Noble. CP: What’s stopping you from doing photography full-time? AD: Full-time photography’s hard. Art’s hard. When you fully get into it, people are like, “You still have to do the day job, because you gotta get the gear, you gotta get people to pay for this.” But I feel like I’m right on the cusp of being able to do my photos full-time, and I’ve finally made it to the point where I feel comfortable. I feel like if you rely just on your photos and trying to get that paycheck for doing your art, you push it too hard and it doesn’t become real anymore. I’m still doing it because I love the art. With photography, everyone’s got a camera nowadays. You gotta really have a unique eye, and a different vision, and a way to promote yourself, to make it in that world. Most of the time when I go to shows, I’m not shooting for anybody other than myself. People know my photos, so they want me to come. Hopefully my name will keep on growing and I’ll be able to rely on that, so I can get out of the day job. Comments More from Music Sponsor Content

A CARER allegedly stole thousands of pounds of cash from her clients by using their debit card to withdraw money which was meant for them, a court has heard. Margo Alongi, 54, is accused of obtaining a total of £38,940 from two of her clients – Roy Scott and Elizabeth Lynch – by fraud. Edinburgh Sheriff Court yesterday heard how Alongi, of Musselburgh, had worked as a carer at Allan-Ross nursing home. She denies the charges and the trial continues.

EU nationals are finding easier to become citizens of a new space state than Brexit Britain, ministers have been told. The SNP’s Hannah Bardell of Livingston, citied the proposed nation state of Asgardia, named after the city in the skies from Norse mythology, as a more secure option. Around three million EU citizens are awaiting to find out if they can remain in the UK, with the Government seeking to guarantee the futures of Britons living overseas as part of Brexit negotiations. The Asgardia project aims to create an independent nation which is a member of the United Nations and has its own government, embassies, flag and national anthem. It bills its “essence” as “peace in space, and the prevention of Earth’s conflicts being transferred into space”. Speaking in the Commons, Ms Bardell asked Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson: “Do you agree that due to the uncertainty created on the future of EU citizens living in the UK and this Government’s obsession with reducing immigration, it’s now the case it’s easier and more secure for EU nationals to become a citizen of Asgardia - a recently founded nation state in space - than it is to remain a valued citizen of a country where they have lived and contributed to for many years?” Foreign Office Minister Sir Alan Duncan replied: “I think the issue of the fate of such people is rather more serious than the tone you have adopted in the House today.” MPs also heard the number of Britons seeking to secure Italian passports is increasing following the Leave result at June’s referendum. Tory Richard Fuller (Bedford) told Sir Alan: “Bedford is proudly the home to a large multi-generational Italian community who have relied on our own local honorary consul for the provision of their Italian passports. “There has been a sustained and large increase in demand for Italian passports and the capacity of the Italian embassy, I’m told, is limited. “May you raise this with the ambassador.” Sir Alan replied: “There are in the UK, and especially in Bedford, a number of British nationals who are eligible for an Italian passport and have recently applied for one. “That is a matter for the Italian government but I can assure you I will raise this with them as appropriate following your request.”

http://www.hawick-news.co.uk/news/rowans-have-long-been-associated-with-myth-magic-and-witches-1-4262860

After an amazingly dry and mild fortnight, the weather finally broke on Sunday as I was walking round Lindean Reservoir near Selkirk, and the heavens opened. There wasn’t much to see on the loch, other than a solitary little grebe, but the surrounding trees were a different matter. As I approached a group of heavily berry-laden rowans, a huge flock of around 200 redwings suddenly exploded skywards. These recently arrived winter thrushes were feeding up on the bountiful harvest of rowans, before dispersing into smaller groups and spending the winter foraging for food all over the country. At this time of year, rowans are the most plentiful and nutritious berries available to them and the fieldfares, thrushes and blackbirds, who also relish them. Just as well, as this is how the tree disperses its seeds. Unfortunately to us humans they are hard and bitter with little culinary use other than to make jelly, which is a pity as they are so easy to pick and in good supply. I have made wine from them previously, but it was a bit dry for my delicate palate! The rowan’s other name is mountain ash, due to the similarity of leaf, but it is not related to the common ash. The colour red was considered to be the best colour for fighting evil, and so the rowan, with its bright red berries, has long been associated with magic and witches. Its old Celtic name is ‘fid na ndruad’, which means wizards’ tree. In Ireland it was planted near houses to protect them against spirits, and in Wales rowan trees were planted in churchyards. Cutting down a rowan was considered taboo in Scotland. The wood was used for stirring milk to prevent it curdling, and as a pocket charm against rheumatism. It was also used to make divining rods. The wood is pale yellow-brown with a deeper brown heartwood. It is strong, hard and tough, but not particularly durable. It is sometimes used in turnery, furniture, craftwork and engraving. For anyone interested in the flora of the Central Borders, a new booklet has just flown from the prolific pen of Hawick botanist Michael Braithwaite. Entitled “Floras of Hawick’s Road and Rail Routes compared”, it is published by the Hawick Archaeoligical Society and is available from the author by e-mail to [email protected]

http://www.haylingtoday.co.uk/sport/local-sport/a-decent-return-from-plymouth-but-a-derby-it-ain-t-1-7634741

Would we have been happy with a 1-1 draw at Plymouth midway through the second half on Saturday? Of course we would. But Danny Rose smashes in a worldie with three minutes to go and we think we’ve got all three points. So having that taken away by Connor Smith – whose goal was also pretty decent, by the way – left us all feeling a bit flat on the final whistle. I know there’s a few who’ve had a moan and a groan about us not defending a lead. We had a history of conceding late goals last season, too, which doesn’t help matters. It’s a natural thing to drop deeper when you are in that position, however. I’ve seen it happen time and again. And sometimes you have to give credit to the opposing side – it was a decent finish from the lad. Having said that, to use an old football term, I thought Plymouth were ‘bang average’. What I will say about them, however, is they have one of the best players in the division in Graham Carey. Aside from that, though, I didn’t see an awful lot to get excited about. I don’t think they are as strong as the team we played in the league and play-offs at the end of last season. Maybe it was a bit disingenuous of me, but I said they reminded me a little bit of Wycombe on the radio. That was in terms of their time-wasting and physicality. Having said that, you can’t argue with their record of being 11 games unbeaten in the league. As for this Dockyard Derby talk, it’s not for me. It was never called that in my day or even considered as any kind of derby. There is only one derby, and that’s the rivalry which creates such a special atmosphere in Southampton games. Thinking about it, we’ve never even called games with Brighton or Aldershot derbies so I don’t see why Plymouth should be. What it is, of course, is a title dreamed up by the media and marketing types. Waffle. Meanwhile, this Sunday will see thousands of you raising money for good causes at the Great South Run. Among them will be ‘Touchline’ Tony Male who is taking part in the event for the 25th year. Tony will be joined by the likes of Andy Awford, Dave Waterman and a host of others to raise funds for the Oakley Waterman Caravan Foundation. And my pal – and Pompey fan – Steve Ayling will be doing the event dressed as a teddy bear for Children with Cancer. Good luck to you all!

NEW BERLIN – The ladies of the Unadilla Valley varsity volleyball team gathered their family and fans together for quite the show this past Friday evening, Oct. 14, when they hosted Hancock on senior night and won 3-1. Prior to the first serve, Unadilla recognized their six graduating seniors: Megan Carpenter, Bailey Miller, Keana Schrag, Shannon MacIntyre, Tia Peck, Sara Nogaret, and Gina Delsontro. “My starting group came out strong in set one. We were serving tough and were able to get our offense going early on, which has been difficult for us at times this season,” said Unadilla Valley head coach Bridget McHugh.

http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/business/skyscanner-said-to-mull-possible-sale-or-flotation-1-4261576

Skyscanner, the Edinburgh-based travel search engine valued at more than £1 billion, is considering a possible sale or initial public offering (IPO), it was reported today. The company, one of Scotland’s highest-profile technology start-ups, is also said to have held talks with investors over raising fresh funds. In January, Skyscanner – led by chief executive and co-founder Gareth Williams – raised £128 million from five new investors, including Edinburgh fund manager Baillie Gifford and joint venture partner Yahoo Japan. The move, which valued the firm at about $1.6 billion (£1.3bn), was aimed at accelerating its growth in the £322bn online travel market. A spokeswoman for the company, based at Edinburgh’s city-centre Quartermile regeneration scheme, declined to comment today on the reports of a potential IPO or sale of the business. Edinburgh is also home to fantasy sports firm FanDuel, another rare example of a Scottish technology “unicorn” – a start-up with a valuation of more than $1bn. FanDuel recently dismissed reports that it was in merger talks with US rival DraftKings as “total speculation”. Skyscanner, founded in 2001, employs more than 800 people and has ten offices around the world, including Glasgow, Barcelona, Beijing, Budapest, London, Miami, Shenzhen, Singapore and Sofia. Along with Baillie Gifford and Yahoo Japan, the new investors that came on board in January included global fund manager Artemis, Malaysian government strategic investment fund Khazanah Nasional Berhad and European private equity firm Vitruvian Partners. They joined existing backers Scottish Equity Partners (SEP) and US-based Sequoia Capital. SEP, which is Skyscanner’s largest shareholder – having invested £2.5m for a 40 per cent stake in the business in 2007 – also declined to comment today. Skyscanner has been without a chief financial officer since April, when the previous holder of that role, Shane Corstorphine, moved to Miami to become general manager of its operations in the Americas. The company is currently recruiting for his successor and in the meantime Colin McLellan – who joined in 2013 as group financial controller – is serving as its financial director. The chartered accountant was formerly interim chief executive of Skyscanner Japan. For the 12 months to the end of December 2015, the travel search engine reported revenues of £120m – an increase of 28 per cent compared with 2014. Stripping out the effect of “unfavourable” currency exchange rates, revenues grew 34 per cent, and Skyscanner said sales gained momentum in the second half of the year, with a surge of 36 per cent. Underlying earnings rose 5 per cent to £22m. Visitors to the firm’s website in 2015 grew 48 per cent over the previous year, hitting a record monthly total of 50 million. Mobile traffic jumped 60 per cent, representing more than half of all traffic.

Kings of Leon präsentieren neues Album "Walls" Ihre Hits "Sex on Fire" und "Use Somebody" kennt beinahe jeder. Der Durchbruch der Kings of Leon im Mainstream kam jedoch bei vielen Fans nicht gut an. Für ihr neues, siebtes Album "Walls" hat sich die Band einem Wandel unterzogen. Seit 2008 ist viel passiert in der Karriere der Kings of Leon. Drei Grammy-Awards und zwei waschechte Megahits mit "Use Somebody" und "Sex on Fire" - der Durchbruch schien geschafft. Bei ihren alten Fans ernteten sie jedoch viel Kritik für den Stilwandel hin zum Pop und Mainstream. Mit ihrem siebten Album "Walls" wollen sich die Rocker aus Nashville nun neu erfinden. Dafür stellte die Familientruppe - drei Brüder und ein Cousin - ihren Produktionsalltag auf den Kopf. "Die Abläufe waren uns einfach zu geläufig und wir wurden zu bequem", erklärt Leadsänger Caleb Followill (34) im dpa-Interview. Darum entschlossen sie sich, die neue Platte nicht im heimischen Nashville aufzunehmen, sondern im sonnigen Los Angeles. Dort hatte die US-Band schon ihre ersten beiden Alben produziert. Kings of Leon zogen nach L.A. für das Album Keine einfache Entscheidung, schließlich sind die Musiker mittlerweile unter der Haube, fast alle haben Kinder. Die wurden kurzerhand aus der Schule genommen und kamen drei Monate lang mit nach Kalifornien. "Wir wussten, dass wir etwas drastisch ändern und raus aus unserer Komfortzone mussten. Etwas, was uns herausfordert und auch etwas Angst macht. Etwas, das uns auf Dauer inspiriert." Neue Ideen fanden Kings of Leon vor allem gemeinsam mit ihrem neuen Produzenten. Der in Deutschland geborene Markus Dravs ist für Hit-Alben von Coldplay, Arcade Fire oder Florence + the Machine verantwortlich und geigte der Band auch mal die Meinung, als ihm Songs nicht gefielen. Das hätten sie noch nie erlebt, sagen die vier Jungs. "Wir haben wenige atmosphärische Geräusche eingebaut, die Stimmen kaschieren könnten. Es ist schwer zu erklären, aber es war ein sehr organischer Prozess. Zurück zu den Wurzeln", erklärt Bassist Jared Followill (29). Unter die zehn Songs mischen sich eingängig-funkige Gute-Laune-Nummern wie "Around the World" und die melancholische Schlussnummer "Walls". Das ist nett anzuhören, frech und innovativ ist es dagegen nicht. Die Südstaaten-Band scheint den Fokus diesmal ohnehin mehr auf die Texte gelegt zu haben. "Walls" sei ihr bislang persönlichstes Album, betont sie. "Wenn du ein Album machst, verwandelst du dich in eine etwas verrückte Person. Du stößt Leute vor den Kopf. Es war mir wichtig, sich dessen bewusst zu werden und darüber zu schreiben. Über die Menschen, die man verletzt hat", sagt Caleb, der mit dem Model Lily Aldridge (30) verheiratet ist. Auch über persönliche Verluste und verstorbene Freunde singen die Grammy-Gewinner. "Das war nicht immer einfach." "Das Album fühlt sich sehr entscheidend an" Die Jungs haben auch einiges zu erzählen, schließlich waren die Jahre als Band ein ständiges Auf und Ab. Die Plattenverkäufe gingen nach dem 2008er-Album "Only by the Night" zurück, 2011 verließ Caleb - mutmaßlich betrunken - während einer Show die Bühne und sagte den Rest der Tour ab. Die Familienmitglieder verkrachten sich, nahmen eine Auszeit und meldeten sich 2013 mit "Mechanical Bull" zurück. Jetzt legen sie nach. "Das Album fühlt sich sehr entscheidend für unsere Karriere an", erzählt Jared. "Du bist an einem Punkt angelangt, an dem du entweder eine andere Richtung einschlägst oder so weitermachst wie bisher. Das wollten wir einfach nicht." Bleibt abzuwarten, ob Kings of Leon verloren gegangene Fans damit überzeugen können.

http://www.citypages.com/arts/a-feminist-slant-takes-pericles-into-timely-territory/397493601

When Michelle Hensley began making plans to adapt Pericles for her company, Ten Thousand Things, she didn’t know the Guthrie Theater would also swoop in and present Joseph Haj’s take on Shakespeare’s play. One imagines that she also couldn’t have guessed that her Pericles would be presented during the final stretch of a presidential battle between the first female major-party nominee and a man who brags about assaulting women. That’s relevant because this is a pointedly feminist take on Pericles, complete with a revised final scene that has the goddess Diana (Karen Wiese-Thompson) lecturing the eponymous wanderer (Ansa Akyea) about the women he’s slighted along the course of his journey. It’s not for purists, but it offers a provocative counterpoint to the unproblematic emotional apotheosis that Pericles gets in the standard script. Hensley, who enlisted playwright Kira Obolensky to help craft the new ending, also made substantial trims to bring the play down to two hours in length. The irony of Ten Thousand Things’ Pericles is that the production’s fleet-footed approach — as well as the casting of the sympathetic Akyea, whose face constantly signals emotional availability — actually makes Diana’s reprimand feel less justified than it would if the preceding scenes had been more conventionally presented. In the Ten Thousand Things version — staged in the round with house lights up, per the company’s norm — literal signposts mark the various destinations on the Prince of Tyre’s tortuous journey. Pericles finds and loses both a wife (Audrey Park) and a daughter (Tatiana Williams) while fleeing the wrath of Antiochus (Pearce Bunting), a king who’s been forcing his daughter (Maggie Chestovich) into his bed. Pericles could have done a lot more for that captive girl, Diana points out, as well as for Pericles’ own daughter, Marina, and his wife, Thaisa. Pericles (spoiler alert!) doesn’t even check Thaisa for a pulse before tossing her overboard at the behest of the superstitious sailors piloting the vessel where she seems to have died in childbirth. Okay, sure, those were extenuating circumstances. Diana might have more of a point regarding the daughter who Pericles not only drops off, in infancy, with two guardians of questionable character — he’s then happy to have Marina, as an adult, marry a guy (James Rodriguez) who first met her after paying to take her virginity. As all this plays out, performers run back and forth through the audience, often talking directly to individual audience members and occasionally slipping into anachronistic slang. Scenes tend to fly by, with actors jumping among characters, most notably Wiese-Thompson, who plays the storyteller Gower and also rotates among other personae so quickly that in one case, she actually changes character in mid-sentence. It’s an accessible and engaging approach to this play, which, as Shakespeare goes, isn’t exactly Shakespeare. While it might not be the Pericles you want, right now it might just be the Pericles we need.

An England striker inspired the next generation when she visited young footballers at a club in Bradford, Manchester City star Toni Duggan dropped in to Thackley Juniors FC after one of their coaches was named McDonald’s Football Mum of the Year. Michelle Woollias is part of a 60-strong coaching team at the club, which runs 33 teams across 12 age groups. The visit also saw the international footballer hand new kits to the Under 11s and Under 10s girls’ teams as part of a McDonald’s scheme, and Toni held a training session with several of the Thackley sides before taking part in a question and answer session about her career. “The whole club has been really excited to have Toni down at the club and the girls have not stopped talking about it. It was great to be awarded McDonald’s Football Mum of the Year and I can’t thank McDonald’s enough for all of their continued support. The new kit means a lot to the girls and they can’t wait to wear it in their next fixture,” said Michelle. Toni’s visit coincided with the FA’s annual Girls’ Football Week initiative. “Girls’ Football Week is an occasion that really puts females in the game on the map and shows them that they are appreciated in football, just as much as their male counterparts. When I was growing up, I would have loved to have a week dedicated to girls in football, so I hope this week encourages other girls that may not be part of a club, to join one and really get involved in the game,” said the England international. The local McDonald’s restaurant, owned by franchisee Priptal Singh, is a supporter of Thackley Juniors.

Rechtsradikaler Facebook-Hetzer muss ins Gefängnis Er hetzte gegen Flüchtlinge, Ausländer und Juden. In Unterfranken verurteilte ein Berufungsgericht einen Facebook-Nutzer zu einer Freiheitsstrafe. Grund dafür ist auch die extreme Hasskultur im Netz. Für rechtsradikale Hass-Parolen bei Facebook ist ein Internet-Hetzer aus Unterfranken im Berufungsverfahren zu einer Gefängnisstrafe verurteilt worden. Der Mann soll laut dem Urteil des Landgerichts Würzburg vom Montag für ein Jahr und sechs Monate hinter Gitter, wie ein Sprecher sagte. Ein Amtsgericht hatte den Mann im vergangenen Jahr zu zwei Jahren und drei Monaten Gefängnis verurteilt, nachdem er 2014 in dem sozialen Netzwerk gegen Flüchtlinge, Ausländer und Juden gehetzt und zu Gewalt und Mord aufgerufen hatte. Zwar rechnete das Gericht dem Mann positiv an, dass er die Nachrichten inzwischen bereut. Grund für das erneut relativ hohe Strafmaß sei aber einerseits das lange Vorstrafenregister des Angeklagten, sagte der Sprecher. Zum anderen habe das Gericht auch die bundesweit deutlich gestiegene Zahl und Bedeutung von Hetze im Internet berücksichtigt. Politiker wollen hohe Bußgelder Das Thema treibt derzeit auch viele Politiker um. Im September 2015 hatte sich eine sogenannte Task Force mit den Internet-Unternehmen darauf geeinigt, dass gemeldete und strafbare Beiträge innerhalb von 24 Stunden entfernt werden sollen. Das funktioniert allerdings laut Bundesjustizminister Heiko Maas (SPD) bislang nur unzureichend. Unions-Fraktionschef Volker Kauder brachte deshalb in der vergangenen Woche Bußgelder für Internetfirmen in die Diskussion. Dem "Spiegel" sagte der CDU-Politiker, denkbar seien Strafen von bis zu 50.000 Euro, falls rechtswidrige Inhalte nicht innerhalb einer Woche gelöscht würden. Auch Schadenersatzzahlungen der sozialen Netzwerke an die Opfer von Hetze sind im Gespräch. BKA führt bundesweite Razzien durch Die Justiz hat derweil den Hetzern selbst den Kampf angesagt - im September koordinierte das Bundeskriminalamt erstmals bundesweite Razzien wegen Hasskriminalität im Netz. "Unsere Gesellschaft hat moralische Grundsätze - offline wie online", sagte Innenminister Thomas de Maizière (CDU) damals. "Vermeintlich rechtsfreie Räume sind nicht hinnehmbar."

Das Kind sei durch In-vitro-Fertilisation (IVF) bei einem Spezialisten in Madrid gezeugt worden, hatte die Nachrichtenagentur efe zuvor berichtet. Die Frau, deren Vorname ebenfalls Lina ist, hat bereits zwei Söhne im Alter von 27 und 10 Jahren. Letzterer war ebenfalls durch künstliche Befruchtung gezeugt worden. Sie sei «sehr glücklich», betonte die gelernte Ärztin und sprach von einem «Wunder des Himmels».

The words “Nordic” and “BBQ” go together like “mittens” and “Caribbean.” So naturally, people were confused when they heard Erik the Red, the new restaurant across the street from U.S. Bank Stadium, would be serving just that. Nordic BBQ? What the hell is that? Erik the Red stands quite literally in the shadow of the stadium, in the old Hubert’s space. It's an enviable location for any bar or restaurant hoping to cash in on game traffic. So, yes, it’s a Vikings bar. And it's destined to be full of dudes. Any other business plan besides meat, Nordic stuff, and beer would have probably been a ludicrous misstep. And, upon closer inspection, it appears as though they’re pulling it off. The bulk of the front room is standing-room bar space, another boon for game days when renting a tile of real estate with beer in hand will be the first order of business. The circular bar has a perimeter of booths at the windows, a loop of TV screens above those like a glowing halo, and a large dining room toward the back. A moderately sized patio space awaits sunny days behind that. In short, it's perfect for its intended use. Thomas Boemer, our local North Carolina transplant, reigning king of fried chicken at Revival, and tinkerer of all things BBQ, has said that he’s in the process of making BBQ that makes sense for us here, in the north. That process will no doubt take time, intellectualism, smart product sourcing, and a confluence of details that remain to be seen. That’s not what’s happening at Erik the Red. What you have here, instead, is a simple mashup of BBQ and Nordic favorites. And that’s fine because they seem to be doing decent things with both. We were hoping we would never have to read the phrase “lingonberry barbeque sauce," much less have to eat it. Surprisingly, this one is bright, spicy, fruity, and balanced. It also arrives on the side of the prodigiously smoky dry rub chicken wings, so you can dive in, or not. Either way these smoky wings are winners, the flesh pudgy with brine, the skin crisped and amber. BBQ is available in almost every permutation: smoked turkey legs, braised short ribs, lamb shanks, brisket. The brisket we chose was delicate and moist, not overly smoky, but enlivened with a house horseradish sauce. Accompanying mac and cheese was powerfully decadent with fat noodles dripping in good smoked gouda cheese sauce and a raft of crunchy Parmesan bread crumbs. But the slaw didn’t benefit from the addition of bacon and was a little weak in general. The meat plus two sides goes for $22, pretty steep considering the portion sizes, but considering the real estate, not so much. Smorgasbords come with the expected MN-friendly cliches -- pickled herring, smoked salmon, dill cream, smoked white fish, rye, and lefse. But these things are undeniably good next to a pint of beer and in between full meals. Who can argue? Plus, the Vikings. And if the actual Vikings were to have dined on anything it’s probably things such as these. So, that said, Erik the Red is on message. Naturally, there’s a good beer list, a not-so-good wine list, a full bar, and servers dressed in black and red flannel like lumberjacks. (Unless you’re thinking of the lady servers, who are dressed like Frederick's of Hollywood sexy lumberjacks. Sigh.) In a dining world where the combo of excellent and friendly service is never a given, we can give Erik the Red extra kudos for offering both, at least on this initial visit. When you’re lurching around near the stadium, parched and lusting for meat, you know where you can go. 601 Chicago Ave., Minneapolis 612-249-5999   Comments More from Food & Drink Sponsor Content

It's more like Minnesota's Haunted Capital. And for good reason: the old, yet still standing Anoka State Hospital, an encampment of brick structures that once housed as many as 1,000 people suffering from various mentally illnesses. The grounds situated just off the the Rum River are arguably the state's most spiritually unsettled piece of real estate. The Anoka facility forged its reputation in suffering over 99 years. In March 1900, the Anoka Asylum received its first 100 male patients. Six years later, 115 women arrived. Over the next 90-plus years, it would house thousands. In 1960 nearly 1,100 wards of the state lived there. Leather restraints, straitjackets, and baby cribs that resembled cages were standard issue. So was torture in the form of electroshock therapy and other medieval treatments. The state finally shuttered the facility in 1999. While the boarded-up "cottages" where the residents lived still remain, its what's below that lives on as a peculiar fascination. A network of tunnels exists beneath the grounds. The cement hallways were once used to transport patients from one place to another without requiring staff to move them out into the open. It's also said that untold patients ended their own lives in the catacombs. The rumors say that patients trying to escape would get lost in the tunnels only to hang themselves when they realized finding their way out was futile. The tunnels house poorly guarded secrets. Although perusing them is illegal, first-person accounts exists online. Urban explorers and ghost hunters report fingernail marks etched in walls and the word "No" repeatedly scribbled as well. Others say there are old wheelchairs, restraint apparatus, and what look like torture devices in rooms abutting the tunnels. Thrill seekers and the curious routinely ask Ross Beard, owner of Anoka Paranormal Investigations, to bring them to the old asylum or the Anoka State Hospital Cemetery, where approximately 400 patients are buried in simple graves. "I tell them to stay the hell out of there," Beard says. "It's not a safe place to be. There's a lot of unsettled things in there." Things such as? Unrested souls populate the cemetery and asylum grounds, according to Beard, who says those who suffered the unspeakable at the hands of their fellow humans stir to this day in a sort of purgatory. Beard offers other advice. Respect the place, he urges. If you want to look around the grounds, go ahead, but please, don't even attempt to go in the tunnels. Otherwise, you might get something on you that might not come off. And, if you're thinking about taking a photo of the buildings, Beard insists, ask permission first. "If you ask out loud to take pictures of the buildings, I'm telling you, you will get an answer," he says. "You will not believe how many things that appear in the windows." Beard continues: "I think because there was so much wrong done there ... you have these unsettled emotions and activity. This place isn't for the faint of heart, for some people who think they want to go chase some ghosts. If you don't watch it, you'll go out there, and one of these things will follow you home. That's why I steer people away from there. Don't go there. You're not wanted. There's rest that needs to happen there for those that need it, and anyone trespassing is probably going to get more than they bargained for." Comments More from News Sponsor Content

OXFORD – Several years have passed since performer Rod Picott last took the stage at Oxford's 6 On the Square, but a recent swell in popularity in his brand of Americana has brought him back. A local favorite, Picott is slated to perform beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22, for the 6 On The Square's Oxford Lions Club FUNdraiser event. Nearly two decades ago, Picott laid down his work belt in his home state of Maine, picked up an acoustic guitar, and put a permanent end to his gig as a sheet rock hanger. He'd been writing music in private for years, but it was 2001's Tiger Tom Dixon's Blues — a debut album that bridged the gap between folk and Americana — that officially introduced him as a singer/songwriter, kick starting one of the more acclaimed careers in modern-day roots music.

Peterborough Sports moved five points clear at the top of the United Counties Premier Division table after inflicting a first away defeat of the season on Holbeach United last night (October 18). Sports won cosily 2-0 thanks to a goal apiece from Jones brothers Richard and Mark. Any chance of a Tigers’ comeback disappeared when Matt Warfield was rather contentiously sent off in the second-half. Richard Jones had opened the scoring with a header from an Olly Medwynter long throw and Mark Jones then claimed his goal from the penalty spot. Desborough Town moved into second place above inactive Eynesbury Rovers after a 1-0 win over Sileby Rangers. Holders Sports also know who their quarter-final opponents in the Hinchingbrooke Cup are after Yaxley defeated Peterborough Northern Star 6-5 on penalties, following a 3-3 draw in their first round tie at In2itive Park. Star, runners-up in this competition to Sports last season, looked set to score a surprise win against a team seeking a ninth straight win when two goals from Harley Williams - the second a 30-yard screamer off the underside of the bar - and a smart finish from James Hill-Seekings overturned a 2-0 Yaxley lead. But top scorer Dan Cotton equalised four minutes from time and Yaxley won the penalty shoot-out when Chris Hassan missed his spot kick. It wasn’t a dream start for new the March Town United management team of Mel Matless and Roy Brand. The Hares were beaten in the Thurlow Nunn Division One KO Cup 3-1 at home by King’s Lynn Town Reserves. Adam Conyard scored the March goal. Tonight (October 19) Wisbech Town will try and close the gap on the top 10 of the United Counties Premier Division by winning at lowly Boston Town. Blackstones seek just a third win of the Division One season when they host Stewart & Lloyds.

http://www.citypages.com/restaurants/this-farmer-is-planning-a-full-scale-restaurant-and-brewery-on-the-farm/397476701

Chad Forsberg has been growing food for the best restaurants in the Twin Cities for almost 20 years. His client list is a who’s who of the finest plates money can buy around here. But now, he’s ready to get into the restaurant world on his own. It’s an ambitious plan. He’ll grow all the grain for the beer, raise the animals for the braises and the sausage, grow the produce for the pizza, everything. It's ambitious, but he’s convinced he can do it. One of his favorite stories to tell is the fact that he was one of the first (if not the first) farmers to bring heirloom tomatoes into local restaurant kitchens all those many years ago: heavy and gnarled Chocolate Stripes striated with brown, wee little Coyote Tomatoes sweet and sunshine yellow as Skittles. But, he says, certain chefs would shout him out of the kitchen, admonishing him to come back when he had some “round, red tomatoes.” Growing Heirlooms way back then was ambitious too, but we know what happened there. Being a good steward of the land is of the utmost importance to Forsberg, and he says Footjoy Brewfarm will be the culmination of his life’s work. Footjoy will be the first authentic farmhouse brewery with a taproom and restaurant in the region. The farm seeks to grow historical barley from around the world, with some strains hundreds of years old, predating modern breeding techniques. ”Most people are unaware of how much modern grains have been tampered with, and how limited the options are for those who seek to grow ancient grains.” Forsberg says most of what is available for farmers to grow are the hybridized varieties developed for a mass market food system. "They are not developed for flavor or nutrition, nor for the ability to reliably produce in adverse conditions with less inputs or chemicals." How will this affect the flavor of Footjoy's beer? That remains to be seen, but Forsberg suspects that it will result in something quite special. “The malt from these unique barleys will brew a beer that no maltster or brewery can compare to. The interesting durums from Portugal, China, or the former Czech Republic will carry a flavor and history not found in the pasta and noodles elsewhere.” Not a beer drinker? He says that a loaf of bread from those same grains will be reminiscent of those from Italy or France 200 years ago. As for the food, Forsberg envisions pizza ovens for starters (hooray for more pizza farms), but beyond that, the possibilities are limited only by the imaginations of the chefs. Forsberg hopes to host our cities’ finest on the farm whenever they wish to come. Meanwhile, the brewfarm will have a full-time chef, yet to be hired. Forsberg's farm will continue to push boundaries with its produce as well, including unusual and heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables. There are Alpine Yellow Strawberries, tiny little berries the size of your baby fingernail that flood your mind with neon strawberry flavor; Honeyberries, an oblong shrub fruit that some describe as tasting like red wine; and cuke nuts, tiny little cucumbers the size of almonds that you can pop just as easily and happily as beer nuts. His current farm in Sparta, Wisconsin (near LaCrosse) will remain in operation simultaneously with the Brewfarm, assisting as an adjunct farm as things get underway. Forsberg has launched a Kickstarter campaign for $80,000, which will act as seed money to secure the loans and economic development money that will allow him to purchase the land. He has some ideas for where he would like the farm to be situated, but they are not yet etched in stone. Ideally, he says, it will be an hour or less drive from the Twin Cities. “It’s all about getting people closer to the food,” he says. Watch this entertaining campaign video starring Forsberg, his infamous laugh, and some of the most illustrious chefs in town. Then contribute to the campaign by clicking here. Contribution rewards include gardening classes on the farm taught by Forsberg, also known as "Hippie Chad," a wedding on the brew farm, and a "French Country Picnic" by the former La Belle Vie team.

http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/the-stunning-stamps-of-the-summer-isles-1-4261738

For almost 50 years, each letter that leaves the Summer Isles on the boat to the mainland has carried two stamps. While one will feature the Queen’s head and insure its journey on the mainland, the other will have been produced by the Summer Isles Philatelic Bureau, one of the smallest stamp issuers in the world, to take it over the water to Achiltibuie. Set up in 1970, the private postal service on Tanera Mor, the largest of the Summer Isles where just two people live at present, was set up by former island owner Kenneth Frampton after Royal Mail stopped collecting mail due to lack of demand. Now Mr Frampton’s enterprise, born out of a practical need, has flourished into a unique quirk of Summer Isles life. Stamps and first day covers produced by the bureau are popular both with collectors and tourists, who can often be seen quickly scribbling postcards by the pier at Ard-na-Goigne as the MV Patricia gets ready to leave for mainland with its small mail bag. Lizzie Williams, whose family are selling Tanera after almost 20 years on the island, said she hoped the stamp tradition would continue with the new owners. READ MORE: Tanera Mor island for sale for £1.95m The latest issue of stamps was produced last year to celebrate the new album release of local musician Mairearad Green. As a result, Ms Williams was handling a “flurry of orders” addressed to simply The Summer Isles Post Office, Isle of Tanera Mor, Scotland. Each stamp, which illustrate and aspect of the island’s nature or culture, costs just 30p. READ MORE: Population of Scotland’s islands on the rise Ms Williams said: “It would be great to see this continue as the post office is an integral part of Tanera. It is 46 years since the first stamp was produced and it does gives the island this unique element. There are no many islands that have their own post office.” Ms Williams said she knew little about stamps before she arrived on Tanera around three years ago but has enjoyed this aspect of life on Tenera. She said; “It is a nice thing, none of us were stamp collectors but preparing the issues every year meant that it made you focus on a different element of life here.” The first definitive issue produced by Mr Frampton, with the approval of the Royal Mail, featured local fish species superimposed on a map of the islands. When Ms Wiliams parents, conservationists Bill and Jean Wilder, bought Tanera in 1996, the Post Office had been dormant for 10 years but the couple quickly produced a series of designs featuring the original 1855-1861 Ordnance Survey map of the Summer Isles. Ms Williams said the 1996 issue also saw the change from pound and pence to the Gaelic ‘Punnd Sassanach’ (PS) and ‘sgillinn’ (sg) “in an echo of the wider national effort to revive the language.” A donker - or special frank - is also produced with each new issue and may typically feature a crab, or a mountain, or a bird or a fish with the stamps printed in Dundee. The designs are produced “organically”, sometimes following an offer from someone who has visited Tanera. Turner-prize nominated artist Calum Innes, originally from Edinburgh, visited the island and produced the first abstract design for the Summer Isles stamps. Ms Williams said her favourite issue was the 1980 issue Birds of the North West designed by the renowned ornithologist and printmaker Robert Gillmor. She added: “There are also hills; crofters; boats of every type; tartans; clans; scouts and salmon. Even Royal Jubilees and unsuccessful Royal Weddings. Designed by a range of artists and photographers, they make an intriguing and eclectic collection.” She added that getting to grips with the finer details of philately, with miniature sheets, control sheets and Se-tenants sheets to organise, as well as filler cards which give full details about the stamps, had been a “steep learning curve.” Ms Williams said: “The design of each of these is very ‘of its time’, and handling the early items feels like having a little bit of history in my hands.” As well as standard First Day issues, the bureau sometimes produces ‘inter-island’ issues which must travel from Tanera to one of the other Summer Isles to receive a special frank. Ms Williams said these were of “particular interest to the philatelically-inclined” but also involved a minor adventure, usually by a kayak. After arriving at the shore, the challenge was to frank the stamps while keeping them dry, clean - and midge free, she said. Tanera Mor is currently for sale in three lots at a total price of £1.95m. The post office, three houses and a cafe are included in lot 1, which has been valued at £700,000.

http://www.calgarysun.com/2016/10/19/trouble-brewin-saskatchewan-beer-maker-takes-alberta-to-court

SASKATOON — A Saskatchewan brewer is taking Alberta to court over its new beer mark-up policy. Saskatoon-based Great Western Brewing Company announced Tuesday it is filing a court challenge, arguing Alberta’s rules violate constitutional protections on trade freedoms among provinces. “The Alberta government has put in place a tax structure that clearly disadvantages any out-of-province breweries from doing business in Alberta,” Michael Micovcin, president of Great Western Brewing, said in an interview. “A significant portion of our total company sales are actually in Alberta, so it’s something we felt we had no choice but to pursue.” Micovcin declined to be specific, for competitiveness reasons, on the impact of the mark-up. But he said the company has seen a dramatic change in sale trends as a result of the policy. Great Western Brewing employs 100 staffers, including 15 in Alberta. Alberta Finance spokeswoman Leah Holoiday declined to comment on the issue, given that it’s now before the courts. But in an email, Holoiday said the mark-up is fair to all producers and that “Alberta has the most open liquor market in all of Canada, with more than 7,000 beer products available to Alberta consumers.” Alberta Finance Minister Joe Ceci implemented changes to the beer mark-up in August in a bid to help homegrown craft brewers flourish. Previously, Alberta brewers paid less on the mark-up, with a sliding scale starting as low as 10 cents a litre. Brewers in Saskatchewan and B.C. got the same deal under the free trade New West Partnership Agreement. The mark-up is now $1.25 a litre for all beer sold in Alberta, regardless of where it is made. Under the program, Alberta brewers who produce less than 30 million litres per year get rebates on a sliding scale based on their sales up to a maximum of $12 million. The Saskatchewan government has complained about the change, saying it violates the spirit of the New West Partnership deal. However, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has said brewery rules already have many exemptions and unfair provisions, and that she will do whatever is necessary to grow the industry her province. Alberta has the most open beer market in Canada, with sellers simply having to fill out a form to sell. Access to shelves in other provinces is controlled by liquor boards.

NORWICH – Ganesh R. Ramsaran, the man previously convicted of second-degree murder in the death of his wife Jennifer in September of 2014, appeared in Chenango County Court last week for a conference on the status of his appeal. Ramsaran appealed his murder conviction to the Supreme Court, Appellate Division: Third Judicial Department, his conviction was overturned July 14, 2016. The Appellate Division determined that there was merit to his contention that his defense counsel was ineffective, therefore not providing him with the opportunity for a fair trial, and vacated his conviction.

Die Geschichte einer großen Liebe Fremdgeh-Gerüchte, Fotos mit einem anderen Mann, Urlaub alleine: Zwischen Sarah Lombardi und Ehemann Pietro kriselt es. Dabei sind sie seit fünf Jahren das große Traumpaar. Liebe auf den ersten Blick war es nicht. Weitere Fotostrecken aus dem Ressort 2011 fing alles an: Sarah Engels und Pietro Lombardi lernen sich bei der RTL-Castingshow "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" kennen. Liebe auf den ersten Blick ist es nicht. "Ich hab ihn schon beim Casting gesehen, mit seiner lilafarbenen Kappe und seinem Keyboard. Am Anfang fand ich ihn etwas gruselig", sagt Sarah Lombardi über ihren späteren Ehemann. Es funkt erst auf den Malediven Erst beim "DSDS"-Recall auf den Malediven funkt es. "Er sprach mich vor dem Auftritt an", schildert Lombardi in ihrem Videoblog, wie sich die beiden näher kamen. Obwohl Pietro und Sarah vorher noch kein Wort miteinander gewechselt hatten, glaubte er zu wissen, welchen Song sie singen würde. "Wenn du das weißt, heirate ich dich", sagt sie zu ihm aus Scherz. "Whitney Houston", sagt er - und behält damit Recht. So beginnt die Liebesgeschichte von Sarah und Pietro Lombardi. Nur wenige Wochen danach sind beide das große Fernseh-Traumpaar. Im Finale von "DSDS" stehen die damals 18-Jährige und der ein Jahr ältere Lombardi zwar als Kontrahenten auf der Bühne - er gewinnt denkbar knapp mit 51,9 Prozent der Stimmen - doch schon nach dem Halbfinale haben sie sich als Liebespaar geoutet. Obwohl eigentlich Pietro der "DSDS"Gewinner ist, nimmt er Sarah zu vielen seiner Auftritte mit. In der Öffentlichkeit und von den Fans werden die beiden als das neue Traumpaar gefeiert. Ihre erste gemeinsame Single "I Miss You" erreicht Platz zwei der Charts. "Es gibt keine Sekunde, wo wir nicht zusammen sind", sagt Pietro Lombardi damals. Sarah Engels und Pietro Lombardi heiraten 2013 Im März 2013 lassen beide die Hochzeitsglocken läuten. In der St.-Severin-Kirche in Köäln-Hürth geben sich beide das Jawort. Gefeiert wird, wie es sich Sarah gewünscht hat, wie im Märchen: auf Schloss Ehreshofen, bekannt als Kulisse der ARD-Serie "Verbotene Liebe". Ein Jahr nach ihrer Hochzeit ist Sarah Lombardi schwanger. Am 19. Juni 2015 kommt ihr gemeinsamer Sohn Alessio auf die Welt. Ein Wunschkind. Beruflich entwickeln sich die beiden von Sängern zu Unterhaltungskünstlern. Wie im März 2015 bei der Eröffnung eines Spaßbades im Heide-Park Soltau zu sehen. Für den Sender RTL2 drehen Sarah und Pietro Lombardi mehrere Doku-Soaps: Im März 2015 wird "Sarah & Pietro … bauen ein Haus ausgestrahlt", im Juni folgt "Sarah und Pietro ... bekommen ihr Baby" und im Frühjahr 2016 "Sarah & Pietro ... mit dem Wohnmobil durch Italien". Fremdgeh-Gerüchte gegen Sarah Lombardi Beruflich wie privat scheint für die beiden alles perfekt zu laufen. Doch dann werden gegen Sarah Lombardi Fremdgeh-Gerüchte laut. Die "Bild"-Zeitung veröffentlicht pikante Fotos von ihr mit einem anderen Mann. Zerbricht das große Glück? Sarah Lombardi streitet die Vorwürfe zunächst ab. "Da will mir jemand etwas anhaben." Doch die Beweislage scheint erdrückend. Einen Tag nach Erscheinen der Fotos löscht Pietro Lombardi das gemeinsame Profilfoto auf Facebook. Sie schreibt: "Wir brauchen jetzt erst einmal etwas Zeit für uns als Familie."

http://www.guardian.co.tt/news/2016-10-19/ten-foot-waves-batter-toco

You are here Ten-foot waves batter Toco Huge ten-foot waves battered the shoreline in Toco, Matelot and other parts of the northeast coast yesterday, damaging nets and boats. Fishermen spent yesterday afternoon frantically securing their pirogues. They said they had not seen such big waves in about ten years. Residents and schoolchildren stood fearfully watching what they call in the village “ground sea”, the sea coming into the land. Matelot schoolteacher, Bernelle Shears, said the waves actually reached into a park which was a part of the Matelot Community College on the Paria Main Road and destroyed the school’s garden. “The waves are huge, almost twice the normal size and we have not seen this here in a long time. “There is no beach in sight anymore. The waves are coming inland,” she added. Shears said the waves reached into the yard of Alfred Baldeosingh who lives on the river bank. “The sea entered the river and it overflowed into his yard,” she added. Shears said the rough seas began Monday night and by Tuesday afternoon had become worse. While fishermen were desperately trying to remove their boats from the rough seas, happy surfers were heading up to Toco to ride the waves. “They are good waves for surfers,” vice-president of the Surfing Association of T&T (SATT), Keith Lewis, said. “Nothing out of the ordinary for us.”

http://www.evesun.com/news/stories/2016-10-18/25081/Colleges-have-lost-opposing-viewpoints/

Here is a pitiful situation. The College Fix organization told us recently that Cornell University has no registered Republicans among the faculty in 11 of its academic departments. Not a single Republican. And faculty donations to the politicians? About 96 percent to Democrats. In response, Cornell issued the following joke: “Political affiliation has no role in our faculty recruitment or promotion processes, and it never will.” Of course many universities are totally prejudiced against conservative and Republican academics. When they apply. When they try to achieve tenure. The evidence is too overwhelming to ignore. Ask a conservative prof “Are you a conservative?” He will close the door. Shut down all computers. Pull the plug on phones. Suggest you look behind the third maple tree in a park away from the campus at midnight. There, you will find a printed note in a capsule: “The answer to your question is yes. Now eat this note.” Too many academics have had their clothes ruined. With Merlot “accidently slopped” down their fronts after they let slip they landed at Reagan. Or live on Nixon Drive. My brother taught at a big state university. It had about 40 profs in its political science department. Any conservatives? “Better not be,” he told me. “Not in the open, if they know what’s good for their careers.” This really is a pity. For the students. For the country. For academics who don’t toe the party line. We’ve become like the old Soviet Union in this respect. I know, I know. Surveys like the Cornell one don’t prove the profs teach in biased fashion. Just because they are Democrats doesn’t mean… Yes. I understand. But I don’t buy it. Too many students have complained. They tell us some profs indoctrinate instead of teach. They cite how they get punished if they write a paper with a conservative viewpoint. The propagandists often give away their biases. With the descriptions of the courses they teach. Then there are the speech codes on many campuses. The words and phrases students are never to utter. The safe zones for students who hear disgusting pornographic racist homophobic threatening phrases. Like “Hey, it’s a great day for a suntan!” (I hope no students are reading this and thus suffering the DTs in a safe zone.) We see tons of evidence that many at colleges and universities have lost something. Something that once was prized at such schools. It was called the spirit of learning. They insist on diversity in religion, race, color, ethnicity, family status and shoe size. But in social and political orientation? Fugettaboutit. Not important at this school. Where we train students to think. Groupthink. Across town from Cornell is Ithaca College. Where I set a record with five F’s in one semester. A century ago. Not one prof leaned left or right in my classes. My history prof always gave us views of the left wing, right wing, left thigh and breastbone. It is where I learned that Communist historians had a totally different view of the American Revolution than more popular historians. Many profs taught this way. This style of teaching opened many a mind as thick as mine. Which I figure was the purpose of the school. Reports from campuses these days suggest there is a lot of closing of minds. And it is intentional. A typical example sticks in my craw. Fifteen years ago I chatted with a prof at a big university. He was on a committee that selected speakers for big guest lectures every year. On social issues. Lectures that thousands of students would attend. I read through the list of celebrated guest lecturers. Judges, historians, economists, writers. They were all famous for their liberal views. Howcum no conservative guest lecturers? That was my question. How innocent I was. A sneer crept across his face. Disdain slithered from his eyes down his nose and dripped onto my shirt front. (Better that than Merlot.) “Never, never,” he intoned. “We would never have the likes of them come speak.” Yes, one swallow does not a summer make. Nor two a hearty meal. But you get the idea. From Tom…as in Morgan.

Schockbilder wirken - Raucher halten sich zurück Seit Mai müssen Raucher in Deutschland den Anblick von Raucherlungen oder blutbesprenkelten Taschentüchern vom Raucherhusten ertragen. Das zeigt Wirkung: Die Kauflust der Raucher ist gesunken. Das bekommt nicht nur die Tabakindustrie zu spüren. Nach der Einführung von Schockbildern und größeren Warnhinweisen auf Zigarettenschachteln und anderen Tabakwaren ist der Absatz gesunken. Im dritten Quartal wurden in Deutschland 11,3 Prozent weniger Zigaretten versteuert als im Vorjahr, wie das Statistische Bundesamt am Dienstag in Wiesbaden mitteilte. Auch der Absatz von Zigarren und Zigarillos sowie die Menge des versteuerten Feinschnitts zum Selbstdrehen gingen zurück. Die Statistiker erklärten dies mit der Verschärfung der Warnhinweise infolge der EU-Tabakrichtlinie, die in Deutschland seit dem 20. Mai gilt. Hersteller müssen daher ihre Produktion umstellen. Im ersten Quartal hatten sie noch kräftig Ware nach den alten Bestimmungen produziert, weil diese noch ein Jahr lang weiter verkauft werden darf. Insgesamt wurden im dritten Quartal bundesweit Tabakwaren im Verkaufswert von 6,3 Milliarden Euro versteuert. Das waren 0,8 Milliarden Euro oder 10,9 Prozent weniger als im Vorjahr. Tabakbranche rechnet mit besserem Umsatz Die technische Umstellung sei sehr zeit- und kostenintensiv gewesen, berichtete Jan Mücke, Geschäftsführer des Deutschen Zigarettenverbandes. Die Branche erwarte nun, dass sich der Absatz zum Jahresende normalisiere. "Wir rechnen im Gesamtjahr weiterhin mit mehr als 14 Milliarden Euro Steuereinnahmen für den Fiskus." Gegen den Trend stieg im dritten Quartal der Absatz von Pfeifentabak kräftig um 33,5 Prozent - allerdings auf niedrigem Niveau. Der versteuerte Verkaufswert lag hier gerade einmal bei 60 Millionen Euro. Ein Grund für den Anstieg ist der Branche zufolge die steigende Beliebtheit von Wasserpfeifen.

Donald Trump dice que su estricta estrategia migratoria es una manera de sacar a los ''bad hombres'' de EU. AFP / S. Loeb Culpa a algunos ''bad hombres'' por la epidemia de drogas en todo el país y prometió que ''los vamos a sacar'' LAS VEGAS, ESTADOS UNIDOS (20/OCT/2016).- Donald Trump dijo el miércoles que su estricta estrategia migratoria es una manera de sacar a los "bad hombres" de Estados Unidos, una expresión que resonó a ambos lados de la frontera con México. En cuestión de minutos, el candidato republicano recibió un aluvión de críticas por su combinación de inglés y español. El candidato presidencial republicano afirmó que construiría una valla en la frontera con México y deportaría a "algunas muy, muy malas personas del país", y luego averiguaría quién podría ser readmitido. Culpó a algunos "bad hombres" por la epidemia de drogas en todo el país y prometió que "los vamos a sacar". El término "bad hombres" no tardó en convertirse en tendencia en Twitter. En un restaurante de parrilla en Ciudad de México, un grupo de mexicanos y expatriados estalló en carcajadas ante el término. "Creo que el discurso que ha tenido Trump sobre los mexicanos desde el principio de la campaña de hablar de ellos como violadores, como criminales, no ha cambiado", comentó Santiago Betancourt en el restaurante Pincho Gringo BBQ, donde unas 200 personas se reunieron para ver el debate. "Trump quizá hace eco o utiliza argumentos que existen en una clase americana a quien él apuesta que lo conviertan en presidente", señaló Betancourt, indicando que no le parecía un discurso "presidencial". La analista política Ana Navarro, una republicana que suele criticar a Trump, ofreció una lección de español en Twitter. Para algunos, sonó como si Trump hubiera dicho "bad hambres". "Trump dijo una estupidez, como 'Bad hombres'. Primera lección de español: hombre=man, hambre=hunger, hombro=shoulder, ombre= color de pelo de Kardashian", escribió Navarro. Para otros, "bad hombres" sonaba simplemente confuso. "¿Qué significa eso?" preguntó Hussein Kazwini, un estudiante universitario de 22 años y estadounidense de primera generación, que vio el debate en casa de sus padres en Toledo, Ohio. Sus padres llegaron a Estados Unidos hace 30 años. "Supongo que intenta enviarles un mensaje directo", dijo Kazwini. La propuesta de Trump de un muro en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México lo ayudó a obtener la nominación del Partido Republicano a la presidencia. En del debate, el candidato republicano También acusó a Hillary Clinton de estar a favor de "fronteras abiertas" y "amnistía" para las personas que están ilegalmente en el país. Clinton está a favor de una política menos estricta que la de Trump. Pero aún respalda una extensa reforma migratoria que incluiría que las personas que están ilegalmente en el país restituyan impuestos y otras sanciones. La candidata demócrata se encuentra con el cantante mexicano Vicente Fernández luego del tercer debate presidencial en Estados Unidos.

NORWICH – An Oxford man who went on a spree of burglaries across the Southern Tier was sentenced to a six-year term in the New York State Department of Corrections Monday, Oct. 17. 28-year-old Nicholas N. Neer entered a plea of guilty to one count of burglary in the second degree in Chenango County Court, and was sentenced as a predicate felon. After he was sworn in, Neer admitted guilt to unlawfully entering a residence on Painter Hill Road, in the Town of Greene, and stealing multiple items from within, including two compound bows. When questioned about the incident by Judge Frank B. Revoir, Neer said that he kicked in the front door of the home, and along with another individual, proceeded to steal the items listed in his indictment.

Emma Bonino annuncia: “Il tumore se n’è andato” Emma Bonino «Credo di esserne quasi fuori»: Emma Bonino, ex ministro degli Esteri, ha annunciato che il tumore al polmone sinistro «se n’è andato». LEGGI ANCHE Emma Bonino: “Ho un tumore ai polmoni” Lo ha dichiarato durante un’intervista di Enrico Lucci per il programma «Nemo - Nessuno Escluso», in onda questa sera su Rai2: «Ho ancora delle verifiche - ha aggiunto - ma credo che questo antipaticissimo signore denominato tumore, anche molto maleducato perché io non è che lo avessi invitato ad abitare con me, si è presentato, ma credo che, se ho capito bene, se ne sia anche andato. Anche se questo è un tipo di malattia, dicono i miei medici, da cui non si guarisce: ci si impara a convivere». Due volte ministro degli Esteri, candita alla presidenza della Regione Lazio e poi come presidente della Repubblica, radicale e amica di Marco Pannella, Emma Bonino aveva annunciato del tumore a inizio 2015, ritirandosi solo provvisoriamente dalla politica ma restando attiva nel campo dei diritti. È, infatti, la presidente dell’European Council on Foreign Relations, che si batte per i valori democratici e lo sviluppo di una politica estera efficace e coerente fondata su valori europei.

Three things we learned from Fleetwood’s 1-0 midweek win over Chesterfield. 1) Conor McLaughlin has a cracking shot in his locker. Conor McLaughlin netted his first goal of the season and only his fifth career goal with all the composure of an experienced striker. The defender had missed an attempt from a similar position at Bradford but after young gun Jack Sowerby outfoxed Chesterfield’s defence and rolled the ball back to the full-back in the box he picked his spot and rifled the ball home with aplomb. 2) Alex Cairns can handle unbelievable pressure It was a debut Cairns was not expecting after Town’s number one Chris Neal was accidentally kneed in the face in the six-yard box by Chesterfield captain Gary Liddle and was forced off in the ninth minute but he shone under immense pressure. Just minutes after entering the fray in the torrential rain and swirling winds at the Proact Stadium the 23-year-old was called straight into action to stop Kristian Dennis who had latched onto Jimmy Ryan’s poor back pass to run one-on-one. With Town unable to add that all important second goal despite carving out some good chances he was put under pressure with Chesterfield upping their search for a leveller in the final 15 minutes. But he stood up to the challenge, was saved by the woodwork twice, survived a goalmouth scramble and made a fine one-footed save to thwart ex-team mate Jay O’Shea from close range and kept a clean sheet in his first league game since he came off the bench for Leeds in their 5-0 defeat to Blackpool back in 2011. His handling and positioning was good and it is refreshing to see a number two come in and slot in with ease and confidence despite the 23-year-old’s considerable lack of first team match action. It also shows the Rosler’s squad mentality works with any player whether they are in the starting XI or not coming in and seamlessly adapting 3) Town can win ugly It was not a pretty display, especially the start but Town proved that they can win ugly at Chesterfield. They recovered from losing number one Neal and stood firm in defence even when Chesterfield were boosted by the return of star striker Ched Evans from a heel injury off the bench. It was not pretty but when they did attack Chesterfield the fast flowing attack football paid dividends with McLaughlin clinical after neat work from Sowerby. It was an especially pleasing win giving what happened against Sheffield United with Town conceding an equaliser with 20 seconds to go in injury time but unlike that game their defensive will to put their bodies on the line and defend with their lives as every man did their bit to stop Chesterfield paid dividends with Uwe Rosler’s men picking up a clean sheet and more importantly all three points.

http://www.citypages.com/music/the-loving-restoration-of-minnesotas-legendary-pachyderm-recording-studio/397497901

Legends may never die, but they do haunt. In 2011, when sound engineer John Kuker purchased Pachyderm Recording Studio, the place was dilapidated to the point where it felt more like a flophouse than the storied environment where Babes in Toyland, P.J. Harvey, and Nirvana tracked albums in the ’90s. Squatters had taken up residence in the once-Kubrickian halls of the Cannon Falls property, and trees had grown into the picture windows and through the ceiling. The three-acre estate where Pachyderm sits boasts a scenic view of an old-growth forest and a trickling stream. On it are two buildings — a 6,300-square-foot, five-bedroom house built as a vacation stop for the Mensing family in 1964, and a separate 2,500-square-foot recording studio built by second owner Jim Nickel in 1988. The third owner, a mortgage broker named Matt Mueller, stopped looking after the buildings sometime after he sprung for Los Angeles in the 2000s. Eventually, Pachyderm sat idly in its artistic wilderness for years. Kuker’s longtime protégé Nick Tveitbakk oversaw the three-year remodel, working to channel his confidant’s painstaking vision while Kuker worked at his other studio, Seedy Underbelly in Los Angeles. Tveitbakk had a set of photos from the house’s original opening in the 1960s and a mandate to make sure the work was done right. “It was a lot of really nice design features that need a lot of attention,” Tveitbakk says. “A lot of the work was really inspired by that original design but also how John saw things. Now it’s a nice hybrid of his vision and the way the house was when it was originally built.” The work on Pachyderm was nearly complete in early 2015. The atrium and bedrooms had been redecorated with vintage furniture Kuker collected from eBay and secondhand shops, and he had a plush blue-and-navy retro-style rug installed. Other than that rug, almost none of the decor was new. Contemporary stuff didn’t vibe with the spirits Kuker hoped to evoke. “When you walk into the house, you walk into a time machine,” says Kuker’s brother, Matt. “It feels you’re walking into the 1970s.” Though some repairs — like the landscaping and driveway — had to be triaged, Pachyderm was scheduled to reopen in June of last year. Tveitbakk was already in the studio tracking bands like Trampled by Turtles and Norma Jean while Kuker worked in L.A., and the pair were eager to show off their revitalized sanctum. Tragically, Kuker never made it back to Minnesota to see through that plan. On February 2, 2015, Kuker was found dead at his California home, having succumbed to a heart condition in his sleep. He was 40 years old, and though his passion project was close to finished, his calling was far from realized. “It was hard, but we’re getting through it,” Matt Kuker says, his voice weakening. “You always wanna watch after your little brother. As time goes, things are easier. We don’t forget about him, but accepting it is a little bit easier as time goes on.” After John Kuker’s death, stewardship over Pachyderm passed to Matt and his parents. Once the family sorted the legality of the estate, they decided the best way to memorialize John was to finish Pachyderm down to every exacting detail. They finally hit John Kuker’s standard of completeness this fall, and the Kukers and Tveitbakk celebrated on October 15 with an open house at the complex. “It felt like the right thing to do,” says Matt Kuker, who now serves as president of Pachyderm. “We knew we had to keep it going because this was his dream. This place was his love.” Walking in the door, you instantly feel the level of care. The tile countertops. The chartreuse velvet sofas. The globular lamps aside each bed. These details scream John Kuker. “One of the things that drives me is doing things to make him proud in the way he’d want them to be done,” adds Tveitbakk, who works as general manager and in-house engineer. “The last couple of months have been really difficult moving forward without him, but I feel so grateful for having been able to know someone like that. Just to be able to have that and carry it on, it feels really good.” John Kuker was a man who believed in the spiritual side of recording. He strove to create atmospheres, summoning energy from the ghosts of the room around him. That’s why he never invested in new furniture or equipment — he wanted pieces that contributed stories. “If someone is comfortable, it’ll be that much easier for them to get that good take or make that amazing record,” Tveitbakk explains. “Maintaining a positive atmosphere so people can be creative. That’s the biggest lesson he ever taught me.” Twin Cities drummer JT Bates has recorded at Pachyderm several times through the years. He became close friends with John Kuker over their mutual love of jazz. He’s spent plenty of days gazing across the grounds and divining inspiration. “It just has the most beautiful vibe,” says Bates, who led the house band during Pachyderm’s open house. “The thing about art and music that’s a little mystical is that collective energy. That energy doesn’t all go away. Some of it stays there and adds to the overall vibe.” Pachyderm doesn’t feel like it’s been renovated. There are new details, including the stone retaining wall and the trio of gilded elephants in the yard, but they integrate elementally with the throwback surroundings. Pachyderm, in fact, doesn’t feel reopened at all. It feels like it never closed. More than that, the studio is in better shape than it’s ever been. John Kuker’s two studios in New York and L.A. have been closed, and all the gear, including an awe-inspiring array of microphones, was moved to Pachyderm. The new sound board — a vintage 1980s API that John Kuker scored in Europe — is live, and Tveitbakk has been happily at work. If you sense a warm presence on Haley Bonar’s latest album, August’s critically lauded Impossible Dream, it’s Pachyderm seeping into the record. It’s inescapable. Pachyderm is a studio that engrosses. It is made of both wood and energies. A place whose influence is incorporeal and supernatural. As Bates puts it: “That place is just magical.” Outside the studio door, tacked up on the pastel ultra-shag on the wall, hangs a portrait of John Kuker. He sits on a gaudy sofa blissfully strumming a guitar. His presence emanates from that image to all corners of Pachyderm, the house and the studio. It’s in the fibers of the armchairs and the paint on the rafters. Were you to pick up one of the guitars and strum a chord, you could almost feel him there leaning in to listen.

Gold Coast Bank, which released its quarterly earnings on Monday, plans to expand its branch network into Manhattan, the company’s chief executive said. “About 25 percent of our entire loan portfolio is in Manhattan,” said John Tsunis, the chairman and CEO of Islandia-based Gold Coast. Most Popular Tsunis added that the bank had about $300 million in total loans outstanding, most of it tied to commercial real estate. “We are looking for a small branch location in order to gather more deposits in Manhattan and serve current customers there,” Tsunis said. Tsunis said in an interview late last week that the bank plans to open its first Brooklyn branch, and seventh overall, by year’s end. Gold Coast said that its year-over-year net income jumped 87 percent to $594,000, as overall deposits climbed 15 percent to $356 million. “To build the deposit base in Manhattan, we do need to show the flag somewhat, and that’s why there is a need for the new branch locations,” Tsunis said. Total assets through the quarter ended Sept. 30 hit $400 million, a 15 percent year-over-year increase.

Frode fiscale e appropriazione indebita, condanna a due anni per Diana Bracco Diana Bracco Diana Bracco, ex vicepresidente di Confindustria ed ex presidente di Expo 2015 spa, nonché presidente dell’omonimo gruppo, è stata condannata a due anni di reclusione per frode fiscale e appropriazione indebita dal Tribunale di Milano. Secondo l’accusa, l’industriale, che avrebbe commesso i reati in qualità di presidente del Cda della Bracco spa, avrebbe realizzato una frode fiscale da oltre un milione di euro. Il pm di Milano Giordano Baggio, titolare dell’inchiesta, aveva chiesto per l’industriale una condanna a un anno e tre mesi, mentre il giudice della seconda sezione penale Giorgia Carbone l’ha condannata a 2 anni riconoscendole, comunque, le attenuanti, la sospensione condizionale della pena e la non menzione della condanna. Comminate, invece, le pene accessorie, come l’interdizione dai pubblici uffici, per un anno e 6 mesi. In particolare, la frode fiscale, sempre secondo l’accusa, sarebbe stata realizzata da Bracco abbattendo l’imponibile attraverso fatture per spese personali, come la manutenzione di una barca o di case in celebri località turistiche, fatte confluire sui bilanci delle società del gruppo Bracco. Il Tribunale con la sentenza ha dichiarato anche la prescrizione per i fatti «dell’annualità 2008», così come per le fatture emesse dall’aprile 2008. Il giudice, tra l’altro, ha condannato anche a un anno e 6 mesi (il pm aveva chiesto 9 mesi) Marco Isidoro Pollastri e Simona Adele Calcinaghi, titolari dello studio di progettazione Archilabo di Monza e architetti di fiducia dell’industriale. Anche a loro sono state riconosciute le attenuanti generiche, la sospensione condizionale e la non menzione (le motivazioni del verdetto tra 90 giorni). Il presidente del Cda della Bracco Real Estate Srl, Pietro Mascherpa, invece, aveva già patteggiato davanti al gup una multa da 45mila euro. Nell’ambito dell’indagine erano finite sotto la lente di ingrandimento dei finanzieri del Nucleo di polizia tributaria della Gdf di Milano, che hanno eseguito nel marzo 2015 anche un sequestro preventivo di un milione e 42mila euro (somma poi dissequestrata), fatture per un totale di oltre tre milioni di euro emesse dai due architetti per i lavori in cinque case di proprietà dell’ex vicepresidente di Confindustria. Secondo le accuse, le fatture per lavori di ristrutturazione e riqualificazione venivano emesse con false causali, facendole risultare come pagamenti di forniture o prestazioni per aziende del gruppo. In questo modo, sempre stando alle indagini, sarebbero stati indicati «nelle dichiarazioni dei redditi e Iva delle società Bracco Spa, Bracco Imaging Spa, Bracco Real Estate Srl, Spin Spa e Ceber Srl», relative agli anni tra il 2008 e il 2013, «elementi passivi fittizi per complessivi euro 3.064.435 con un’imposta evasa complessiva ai fini Ires e Iva di euro 1.042.114,70».

Rounding up the best concerts this week in the Twin Cities. SHONEN KNIFE Oct 19th 7:30 pm at Turf Club GNASH Oct 19th 5:00 pm at Triple Rock Social Club THE DEAN WEEN GROUP Oct 19th 7:30 pm at First Avenue THE LOWERTOWN LINE: BRUSE VIOLET Oct 20th 7:00 pm at Twin Cities Public Television DEERHUNTER Oct 20th 7:00 pm at First Avenue DAN ANDRIANO IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM Oct 20th 7:30 pm at 7th St. Entry Mick Jenkins Amsterdam Bar and Hall, Friday 10.21 The latest Red Bull Sound Select tour to hit St. Paul is headlined by rapper Mick Jenkins, one of Chicago’s sharpest lyricists — which, considering the number of talented young voices emerging from that city, is saying something. Between the 2014 mixtape The Water[s] and September’s The Healing Component, Jenkins’ latest two full-lengths have established him as a formidable bar-for-bar writer. More impressive than his individual lines, though, is his use of water as a metaphor for knowledge and his deft takes on race and faith. Jenkins is originally from Alabama, and on Friday he’ll be joined by another Southerner now based in Chicago: St. Louis native and Zero Fatigue crew member Smino. Smino has quickly generated serious buzz for himself, with a penchant for aqueous, wobbly beats from Zero Fatigue’s Monte Booker, atop which he fluidly blends rapping and singing (he’s got plenty of personality to boot). Twin Cities alt-R&B prodigy and SoundCloud star Dizzy Fae, best known for her “Complexion” collab with Minneapolis producer Su Na, rounds out the night’s triple bill. 18+. 8 p.m. $3 with RSVP; $10 without RSVP. 6 Sixth St. W., St. Paul; 612-285-3112. -- Michael Madden M83 Skyway Theatre, Friday 10.21 For the past decade and a half, M83 have been about massive, breathtaking sheets of sound. The French electronic project’s sweeping albums invited comparisons to the likes of Brian Eno, My Bloody Valentine, and even the Smashing Pumpkins. Increasingly, though, mastermind frontman Anthony Gonzalez’s individual songs are bringing M83 to a new level of popularity while retaining the project’s unique traits. The 2011 double album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming — featuring the ubiquitous “Midnight City” and its unforgettable, distorted vocal riffs — remains Gonzalez’s towering masterpiece. But this year’s intentionally scattered Junk, which follows Gonzalez’s soundtrack work for 2013 Tom Cruise vehicle Oblivion and the same year’s French film You and the Night, has highlights that emerge out of its deliberate messiness. With a vocal from Norwegian singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør, “For the Kids” is a stunning ballad, while the neon, horn-fueled “Road Blaster” could easily become an all-time signature M83 track, featuring some of Gonzalez’s most confident singing yet. With Shura and DJ Jake Rudh. 18+. 9 p.m. $37.50. 711 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis; 612-333-6100. -- Michael Madden PRIVATE INTERESTS (EP RELEASE SHOW) Oct 21st 9:00 pm at Eagles Club #34 HOMECOMING 2016 CONCERT FEATURING KESHA Oct 21st 7:30 pm at TCF Bank Stadium DIPLO Oct 21st 8:00 pm at Myth I Love the ’90s Tour Target Center, Saturday 10.22 Trapper Keepers. Ecto-Coolers. Tamagotchis. Waco. Other references. If the above words resonate with your millennial heart, you might just be the target demo for I Love the ’90s, the triple-headliner nostalgia parade coming to Target Center. Among the Clinton-era radio-rap hitmakers set to perform: Vanilla Ice, Salt-N-Pepa, Coolio, Kid ’n Play, Rob Base, and Young MC. Don’t know what to expect? Here’s a helpful primer from the event’s press release: “Audiences can expect to hear chart-topping hits like ‘Let’s Talk About Sex,’ ‘Shoop,’ ‘Ice, Ice Baby,’ ‘It Takes Two,’ ‘Gangsta’s Paradise,’ ‘Bust a Move,’ and MORE during a fun-filled night out that doubles as an arena-sized dance party.” The tour is a smart, pride-saving move for the involved legacy acts. Rather than gig solo at outer-ring suburban casinos, the performers can form, Voltron-style, and still retain stadium cachet. The approach is similar to the one taken by the Kings of the Mic Tour — featuring LL Cool J, Ice Cube, Public Enemy, and De La Soul — which hit Target Center in 2013, but was depressingly under-attended. The I Love the ’90s Tour began back in April and runs through February, so it’s presumably packing its marathon string of dates. 6 p.m. $29.50-$200. 600 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612-673-0900. -- Jay Boller GROUPLOVE Oct 22nd 7:00 pm at First Avenue CASS MCCOMBS Oct 22nd 8:00 pm at Turf Club TEENAGE FANCLUB Oct 22nd 8:00 pm at Fine Line Music Cafe Brand New Roy Wilkins Auditorium, Sunday 10.23 It’s been a decade since emo lords Brand New put out their career-defining album, The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me, featuring depressing classics like the opening soft-into-freak-out “Sowing Season (Yeah)” and the spooky, crawling “Jesus Christ.” In celebration, the band will perform the entire LP each night of their current tour. Brand New promised their cult fanbase a new full-length in 2016, which would be their first since 2009’s underwhelming Daisy. But last month, they released a statement on Facebook apologizing and revoking their promise, with no hint of a future release date. Brand New have a funny way of jerking their fans back and forth — the New York four-piece threaten breakups more often than they put out music. Their summer tour T-shirts even read, “2000-2018,” forecasting the band’s death. Regardless of Brand New’s status, diehards are always ready to shed a tear and lose their minds to singer-songwriter Jesse Lacey’s shaky crow. New-emo heavyweights the Front Bottoms and Modern Baseball open. 7 p.m. $35-$45. Roy Wilkins Auditorium, 175 W. Kellogg Blvd., St. Paul; 651-265-4800. -- Grace Birnstengel Rudresh Mahanthappa Vieux Carré, Sunday 10.23 Alto saxophonist and composer Rudresh Mahanthappa, the newly appointed director of jazz at Princeton, is a musical alchemist. Not only has he devised a clever, innovative syntheses of the Carnatic music of his South Indian heritage and cutting-edge 21st-century jazz, he’s a premier progressive jazz master, combining intellectual curiosity and visceral thrills. The project he’ll bring to downtown St. Paul, for instance, is based on his latest album, Bird Calls, a unique, lavishly praised tribute to jazz icon Charlie “Bird” Parker that topped many (including Downbeat’s) album-of-the-year polls. Characteristically, Mahanthappa didn’t take the conventional approach of simply playing Parker. Instead, he gleaned bits of Bird tunes — melodies, rhythms, harmonies, solos — and used them as inspiration for entirely new, sparklingly contemporary pieces that dissect Bird’s spirit and profound influence on modern jazz. “Talin Is Thinking,” for example, takes a snippet of melody from “Parker’s Mood” into a dark, sinuous context of aggressive rhythms. Meanwhile, Mahanthappa and young trumpet ace Adam O’Farrill play tag with their lines, emulating the relationship between Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. 8 p.m. $35. 408 St. Peter St., St. Paul; 651-291-2715. -- Rick Mason SHEILA E. BENEFIT CONCERT Oct 23rd 7:30 pm at Orchestra Hall POST MALONE Oct 23rd 6:00 pm at First Avenue IL DIVO Oct 23rd 7:30 pm at Northrop SUNFLOWER BEAN Oct 24th 7:00 pm at 7th St. Entry MAYER HAWTHORNE Oct 24th 7:00 pm at Skyway Theatre THE FELICE BROTHERS Oct 24th 7:00 pm at Turf Club Widespread Panic Orpheum Theatre, Tuesday 10.15 It’s no little feat to ride a sweeping wave of extreme agitation for three decades. But Widespread Panic, the veteran southern-fried jam band stalwarts, managed just that, thriving since 1986 on unpredictable, freely evolving performances fueled by improvisation. This year’s extended tour follows last fall’s release of Street Dogs, WP’s first studio album since 2010’s Dirty Side Down. The current roster includes now-permanent drummer Duane Trucks — brother of ace guitarist Derek, nephew of Allman Brother Butch. To capture their gritty in-concert spirit, the band cut the album with live takes and minimal overdubs. The resulting expansive vibe, all slippery grooves and tangential intrigues, is evident on the opening funky New Orleans take on “Sell Sell,” from Animal Alan Price’s O Lucky Man! soundtrack. “Cease Fire” is a foray into Latin rock, riding Domingo Ortiz’s congas and Santana-like guitar romps. “Angels Don’t Sing the Blues” is skittish blues-rock that shifts tempos and flirts with jazz. A marvelous version of Willie Dixon’s “Tail Dragger” slyly references Dixon’s “Spoonful” while JoJo Hermann’s keyboards echo the Doors’ Ray Manzarek. And the dynamic reading of “With a Little Help From My Friends” splits the difference between the Beatles’ original and Joe Cocker’s hit. 7:30 p.m. $49.50-$59.50. 910 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis; 612-339-7007. -- Rick Mason TRASH TALK Oct 25th 5:00 pm at Triple Rock Social Club MAC MILLER Oct 25th 7:00 pm at First Avenue GRIFFIN HOUSE Oct 25th 7:00 pm at The Cedar Cultural Center Comments More from Music Sponsor Content

No retreat. No change of strategy. No course correction. Oh yes, it’s rally round the flag and forward march to a better day when more Albertans will see the righteousness of the cause and the benefits of this new Alberta Way. “We are condemned to be ourselves,” says the premier. Notley spoke those very words at the gabfest of the national NDP earlier this year and explained its meaning back then to the party faithful. “We’re the do-something party — the fundamental reformers, the change agents, the people who believe if we act together, things will get better.” In her speech Wednesday, condemned or otherwise, Notley is truly herself, full-on NDP orange. The cast is familiar. The bogeyman opposition intent on cutting deep into health care and education. The dastardly opposition wanting tax cuts for the rich and cuts to everyone else’s services. The unjust opposition pushing the lie looking after only the rich helps everyone. “Socialism for the rich and austerity for everyone else is a completely discredited ideology,” proclaims the premier. At this point NDP supporters are expected to get off the couch and shout: You tell ’em, Rachel. Later, Notley tells the press the NDP “are a government intent on governing.” “After 44 years there is a list of things that need to be changed,” says the premier. “We need to be focused on governing on the basis of the principles we talked to Albertans about in the last election, in the best interests of Albertans, to help them with these matters they’re dealing with now.” The polls? What polls? Oh, you mean the poll this week showing the Notley NDP with the support of only one in five Albertans and in third place. “My job isn’t about building my popularity or chasing polls,” Notley fires back, showing evidence of her reputation as a solid counter puncher. “My job is about making decisions that I believe are the best for Albertans.” Besides, says Notley, “it’s hard for governments to be popular under these circumstances.” The mind travels back to the provincial NDP shindig a few months back when Notley really pumped up the party true believers from the podium. Notley sure fired the Dippers up. They’d won the election. They’d run on a platform. It was important to move ahead and not blink. PC leadership hopeful Jason Kenney sounds quite revved up himself. No surprise. The idea of uniting conservatives is more popular with Albertans than the pop-up toaster and Kenney wants to unite conservatives. Kenney slams the Notley NDP for being more concerned about their ideology than its consequences in the real world. “Her strategy is more of the same. Higher taxes, job-killing regulations and more debt while creating uncertainty for investors and businesses,” says Kenney, a former Harper cabinet minister. “They believe bigger government is always the answer and business and wealth creators are always the problem.” Then Kenney really goes to what he sees as the heart of the matter. “They are class warriors. She had this weird line about how they don’t believe in socialism for the rich and austerity for everybody else. I have no idea what that means,” he says. “Its just a reflection of class warfare, the resentment of success which lies at the heart of the NDP.” Ouch. Brian Jean, the Wildrose leader, hoped to see some change of course from the NDP. It was not to be. Something else bugs Jean as well. “They blew $20,000 on a campaign stunt. It just makes me sick. What a terrible signal it sends, especially when people are suffering.” Alberta Party leader Greg Clark was not amused with the NDP’s “polarized and divisive rhetoric” while they offer only two options, massive debt or massive cuts. “There is a middle way,” says Clark. Many in the invite-only crowd to Notley’s happening were happy. Applause 20 or so times, five times for the carbon tax plan alone. One NDPer pulled me aside, delighted with this positive showing. Not like last year when the Calgary suits gave Notley the cold shoulder, the individual said. The battle rages on.

NORWICH – The Norwich City School District recently completed the installation of an advanced LED lighting system in their buildings which is said to save the district more than $200,000 per year, according to NCSD Deputy Superintendent Robert Wightman. More than 3,000 LED lights deemed 'state-of-the-art and exceptionally efficient' were installed throughout the district. The new LED lights are capable of adapting to the specific needs of a classroom as they are integrated through an advanced lighting system.

Phil Collins would’ve abandoned Genesis to replace Keith Moon in The Who if Pete Townshend had asked. The 65-year-old rocker joined Genesis in 1970 and became their frontman and drummer after the 1975 departure of singer Peter Gabriel, but despite the band’s continued success in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Phil admits he would have dropped everything to join The Who after the 1978 death of their drummer Moon. “Absolutely would have joined The Who,” he wrote in an online webchat with readers of British newspaper The Guardian. “I would have left Genesis to join The Who.” The Who’s remaining members Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, and John Entwistle soldiered on after Keith’s death alongside former The Small Faces drummer Kenney Jones until initially splitting in 1983. They reunited in 1996, and are still performing two decades later, despite John’s death in 2002. Jones has been replaced by Ringo Starr’s son Zak Starkey. Collins, who retired from music in 2011, only to announce a 2017 comeback last year, holds no aspirations to play with The Who now as he approves of Starkey. “They’ve got a great drummer now in Zak Starkey, he’s fantastic,” he explained. “Someone with the balls that Keith Moon had.” Collins recently announced plans for big comeback shows next year, revealing he is coming to terms with the illnesses and ailments that prompted him to quit music in 2011. Although partially recovered from the nerve damage that forced him into retirement five years ago, Phil explains his legendary drumming skills have not fully returned. “The hand has got better over the years, but there’s still a long way to go,” he revealed. “I’ve got six months to sort something out, so I will be attempting to play something.” Announcing his comeback at a London press conference, the musician revealed he was planning to let his 15-year-old son Nicholas take over drumming duties when he performs hits like Easy Lover, You Can’t Hurry Love, One More Night and Another Day In Paradise.

Ruby ter, in 23 rinviati a giudizio. Ci sono anche Carlo Rossella e la senatrice Rossi Karima El Mahroug Il gup di Milano, Laura Marchiondelli, ha rinviato a giudizio Karima El Mahroug e altre 22 persone tra cui il suo ex avvocato Luca Giuliante, il giornalista Carlo Rossella, la senatrice Mariarosaria Rossi e parecchie ragazze ospiti delle feste `hot´ ad Arcore, nell’ambito del processo Ruby ter. Il dibattimento si aprirà il prossimo 11 gennaio davanti alla decima sezione penale del Tribunale. Gli imputati sono accusati a vario titolo di corruzione in atti giudiziari e falsa testimonianza. La posizione di Silvio Berlusconi è stata stralciata. Il gup Marchiondelli, dopo aver respinto tutte le varie eccezioni, ha mandato a processo tutti i 23 imputati motivando che di fronte ai dubbi sollevati dalle difese, in base anche alla recente giurisprudenza, il giudice dell’udienza preliminare ha l’obbligo di rinviare a giudizio. E così il prossimo 11 gennaio comincerà il dibattimento, oltre che per la bella `Rubacuori´, per Mariarosaria Rossi, Rossella (entrambi accusati per falsa testimonianza), per Giuliante, per Luca Risso, ex compagno della marocchina, per Giorgio Puricelli, ex massaggiatore del Milan ed ex consigliere Regionale del Pdl, per le `Olgettine´ come Iris Berardi, Barbara Guerra, Barbara Faggioli, le gemelle De Vivo, Marysthell Polanco, Alessandra Sorcinelli, Lisa Barizonte. Originariamente il numero degli imputati era maggiore rispetto a quello per cui oggi è stato disposto il giudizio. Infatti già ad aprile il giudice aveva `spacchettato´ il processo e trasmesso gli atti per competenza a Roma in relazione alla posizione di Mariano Apicella, a Monza per quella delle showgirl Elisa Toti e Aris Espinosa, a Pescara aveva mandato l’ex `meteorina´ Miriam Loddo, a Treviso la bionda ex protagonista del Grande Fratello Giovanna Rigato, a Siena il pianista Danilo Mariani e a Torino la soubrette Roberta Bonasia. Infine lo scorso 3 ottobre è stata stralciata, per motivi di salute, la posizione di Silvio Berlusconi, accusato di aver pagato le sue `ospiti´ in cambio del loro silenzio sulle serate a Villa San Martino: per lui l’udienza preliminare riprenderà il prossimo 15 dicembre, giorno in cui si affronterà anche il nodo sulla compatibilità o meno a decidere le sorti del Cavaliere del gup Marchiondelli.

Whisky statt Obstler: So nehmen es deutsche Destillen mit den Schotten auf Viele Kleinbrenner in ganz Deutschland versuchen sich seit einiger Zeit am Whisky. In vielen Fässern sind Tropfen gereift, mit denen sich die Hersteller nicht hinter der schottischen Konkurrenz verstecken müssen. Seit 18 Jahren schlummerte ein Whisky in Fässern im baden-württembergischen Owen, dem Ort mit der angeblich höchsten Whiskybrennerdichte in Deutschland. Der alte Tropfen hat den Generationswechsel im Betrieb der Familie Gruel überlebt. Diesen Herbst bringt der 29 Jahre alte Immanuel Gruel das Erbstück auf den Markt. Einen so lange gereiften Whisky hat wohl keiner seiner schwäbischen Kollegen im Fasslager. Der Großvater, Christian Gruel, heute 81 Jahre alt, hat ihn angesetzt. Gruel Senior gilt als Whisky-Pionier. Vor bald drei Jahrzehnten hat er mit der Herstellung begonnen. In den 1990er Jahren sprangen erste Kollegen auf, in den 2000ern wurde Whisky zum Hype unter Brennern in ganz Deutschland. Weil Whisky Zeit braucht, kommen sie jetzt mit ihren Produkten auf den Markt - und treffen den Nerv der Zeit. Die Kunst ist das Fassmanagement Der Verband Deutscher Whiskybrenner hat sich 2004 gegründet und inzwischen 33 Mitglieder. Etwa 300 Brenner beschäftigen sich derzeit deutschlandweit mit dem Thema Whisky, wie der Vorsitzende des Verbands, Hans-Gerhard Fink, schätzt. Viele Trittbrettfahrer, die vom Trend profitieren wollen, werden wieder verschwinden und etwa 50 Brenner übrig bleiben, so seine Prognose. Das sogenannte Fassmanagement ist die Kunst bei der Whisky-Herstellung, sagt Brenner Immanuel Gruel. Um verschiedene Aromen in den Schnaps zu bringen, lagern ihn die Brenner in gebrauchten Fässern, die zuvor zum Beispiel mit Sherry, Portwein oder Bourbon-Whisky gefüllt waren. Das älteste Fass in Gruels Keller ist 80 Jahre alt, war schon in Spanien, in Schottland und steht jetzt im Whisky-Mekka Owen, wo auf 3000 Einwohner drei Whiskybrenner kommen. Die Grund für die hohe Dichte an Whiskyherstellern in einigen Bundesländern liegt mitunter daran, dass die 29.000 Kleinbrenner aus historischen Gründen vor allem in Baden-Württemberg, Bayern, Rheinland-Pfalz und im Saarland sind. Die einst strukturschwache Gegend wurde durch das Brennrecht und die damit verbundenen Einnahmen zu Kaiserzeiten gefördert, wie der Vorsitzende des Whiskyverbandes, Fink, erklärt. Whisky statt Obstbrand Dass statt des traditionellen Obstbrandes nun auch Whisky hergestellt wird, erklärt sich Fink mit den unkalkulierbaren Faktoren bei der Reifung im Fass, die bei manchem Brenner den Tüftlersinn geweckt hätten. "Whisky hat etwas Mystisches - das hat auch die Brenner begeistert." Er selbst betreibt in Nellingen bei Ulm Deutschlands größte Whisky-Brennerei, wo er jährlich 250.000 Liter Whisky herstellt. Er will nächstes Jahr mit seinem Produkt auf den europäischen und asiatischen Markt gehen. Den Vergleich mit den Schotten scheue er nicht. "In einigen Jahren werden wir eine anerkannte Whisky-Nation sein", meint Fink. Die von den Owener Brennern ernannte schwäbische Whiskybotschafterin Angela Viola Weis aus Tübingen ist vorsichtiger: "Der deutsche Whisky belegt nur eine kleine Nische gegenüber dem Schottischen." Die Qualität lasse sich sehen. Allerdings fällt es ihr nach eigenen Angaben schwer, den schwäbischen Whiskys einem eingefleischten Scotch-Whisky-Trinker nahezubringen. Mild statt torfig Torfig, schmierig, dreckig - diese Attribute erfülle der schwäbische Whisky nicht. Er sei eher mild und werde mit irischen Sorten verglichen. Die Brenner sähen im Whisky eine umsatzstarke Alternative zum Obstler, für den der Markt kaum wachse und die Aufladung mit Emotionen für die Vermarktung schwerer sei. Zur Whiskyvermarktung gibt es inzwischen etwa Whiskywalks - Wanderungen mit Verkostung bei Brennereien. Immanuel Gruel verkauft beides. Sowohl Obstbrände als auch jährlich 3000 bis 6000 Flaschen Whisky. Wie sich der Schnaps entwickelt, testet er einmal im Jahr - prüft die Farbe und verkostet. "Dann wird zum Beispiel entschieden: Der darf noch auf Portweinfässer, um sein Aroma abzurunden."

http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/local-sport/motorsport-barnes-does-well-at-donington-park-1-7632784

Ryhall racer Anthony Barnes emerged with credit when stepping up in class at Donington Park at the weekend (October 15 and 16). After clinching the Caterham Tracksport championship at Croft in September and now racing with Team Parker of Leicester, Barnes stepped up two classes to the Caterham R300 Superlight category for the final round at Donington Park. Barnes faced a steep learning curve with only two test days to get to know the new car. The Caterham R300 Superlight is a significant step-up from his previous car with a larger 2.0 litre engine, fully sequential gearbox, limited slip differential and slick tyres and is capable of lapping the circuit over six seconds a lap quicker than the Tracksport car. Qualifying on the Saturday saw Barnes struggling to find space on the grid with a stellar grid of 27 cars featuring some of the biggest names in Caterham racing. He eventually qualified 14th out of the 27 cars. Race one on Saturday saw Barnes quickly into his stride and starting to pick off the drivers in front as his confidence grew and he started to close on the leading pack. Some aggressive driving in the leading pack eventually led to one or two drivers forced off track and a safety car intervention with eight minutes to go left Barnes sitting in eighth place but now in touch with the leaders. A great getaway after the safety car came in allowed Barnes to quickly climb to sixth and he entered the final lap in sixth place pressurising the two drivers in front. They both came together through the ‘Esses’ and allowed Barnes the room to creep through with two wheels off circuit to claim an outstanding fourth place for his first ever drive in the R300. Sunday’s race saw Barnes start from fourth place but with a rolling start this time behind a safety car due to oil on the circuit from a previous race. The majority of the grid had decided to switch to dry slick tyres despite the race being called wet but Barnes had stayed on wet tyres. Unfortunately for him a rapidly drying track quickly started to show the benefit of being on slick tyres and Barnes started to be overhauled by some of the other drivers. Despite the disadvantage he remained in touch with the leading pack and finished a commendable 11th for only his second race in the R300 Superlight car. Barnes, next race will be at the iconic Estoril circuit in Portugal in November as part of the Inter Seven Series.

Chi parla male del coniuge davanti al figlio, paga Guai a parlar male dell’ex coniuge di fronte ai figli. Quello che finora poteva essere ritenuto solo un pessimo atteggiamento nei confronti dei bambini, in situazioni di conflitto post divorzio, ora diventa punibile per legge. Lo ha stabilito il Tribunale civile di Roma che ha condannato a 30 mila euro di multa una mamma che parlava male dell’ex marito. Una sentenza destinata sicuramente a fare scuola. Per i giudici non è ammissibile che il coniuge separato, in presenza di figli, esprima pareri critici e polemici nei confronti dell’ex. Secondo il tribunale di Roma il genitore deve principalmente tutelare la tranquillità e il diritto alla bigenitorialità del proprio figlio. Il diritto-dovere cioè, di salvaguardare il rapporto con i figli e di intervenire nella loro educazione, anche in caso di separazione o divorzio. In particolare, nel caso trattato dal Tribunale civile di Roma , è stato assodato che la madre, che aveva l’affidamento del minore, non ha cercato di riavvicinare il figlio al padre “risanandone il rapporto nella direzione di un sano e doveroso recupero necessario per la crescita equilibrata del minore, ma al contrario ha continuato a palesare la sua disapprovazione in termini screditanti nei confronti del marito”. Un comportamento non solo opinabile da un punto di vista psicologico, per lo sviluppo e l’equilibrio psico-fisico dei bambini, ma sanzionabile anche dalla legge. Con una multa non di poco conto.

http://www.edmontonsun.com/2016/10/20/chretien-says-no-pill-for-stupidity-in-thinly-veiled-shot-at-donald-trump

Former prime minister Jean Chretien says U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is “taking away the dignity of public life.” Chretien told the annual Toronto fundraising dinner for St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S., that he finds the Trump campaign “unbelievable.” When asked about the U.S. campaign, Chretien referenced Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s recent illness, saying “there are pills to help you against pneumonia.” But, he added in a thinly veiled jab at Trump, “apparently there’s no pill against something like stupidity.” Chretien downplayed all the protectionist talk from both Trump and Clinton, saying “it’s always like that” during American presidential campaigns. “I remember Mr. Obama was expressing some of these views (before being elected), but reality hits you when you’re in government,” he said. “You cannot turn back the clock. Cars today are not made by manpower but by robots. We have lived in a global economy for a long time, and it won’t change.” Not surprisingly, Chretien had praise for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the first anniversary of the Liberal government, crediting him with creating a good mood in Canada and improving the country’s reputation abroad. Chretien also defended Trudeau’s move to force the provinces to adopt some kind of carbon pricing — “taxes are never fun, but you have to do the right thing” — and said he proposed legalizing marijuana 20 years ago so young people wouldn’t end up with life-long criminal records. “I was perhaps ahead of my time,” he said. “They carry that forever. Some Canadians cannot cross into the United States for that; what many see as a mistake.” Chretien also said he’d never tried pot. “I would try my first (tobacco) cigarette before I would try that,” he said.

http://www.newsday.com/long-island/crime/farmingdale-driver-in-fatal-crash-due-in-court-after-latest-arrest-1.12464036

Cory Gloe, the young driver who avoided prison after admitting responsibility in the Farmingdale drag-race deaths of five teenagers, is due in court Monday to face reckless endangerment and gun charges in an unrelated case. Gloe, 20, of Farmingdale, was arrested late Wednesday and ordered held on $100,000 bail, bond or cash, after firing a 12-gauge shotgun in the air outside his home — at one point near a 3-year-old neighbor, police said. No one was injured. Most Popular Nassau County acting Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter called the acts “gross, reckless conduct” that could have had “dire consequences.” DataGun crime numbersSee alsoRecent LI mug shotsDataLI crime stats “In this particular case, I hope that the courts handle this as a serious crime and issue a serious sentence,” Krumpter said at a news conference. “This is not a defendant that should be coddled.” Acting State Supreme Court Justice Terence Murphy, who presided over the drag-race case, earlier this year sentenced Gloe to 6 months in jail and five years probation — a penalty aimed at rehabilitation that some relatives of the victims decried as too lenient. Gloe was released in July after serving about 4 months total. Murphy stressed then that Gloe, who also was granted youthful-offender status that sealed his criminal record, would face up to 4 years in prison if he violated probation. “I hope this is a wake-up call for that judge that this kid needs a serious punishment,” said Celeste Tziamihas, sister and legal guardian of victim Noah Francis, 15. “I just hope we get justice this time around.” The victims of the 2014 Mother’s Day weekend crash — Francis; Carly Lonnborg, 14; Tristan Reichle, 17; Jesse Romero, 18; and Cody Talanian, 17 — friends who had attended Farmingdale High School, became known after the tragedy as the “Farmingdale Five.” The judge is “aware of Mr. Gloe’s recent arrest,” courts spokesman Daniel Bagnuola said last week in a statement, adding that the judge has a “reputation for fairness and integrity.” “The Court will consider Mr. Gloe’s present circumstance and take appropriate future action as necessary and warranted,” Bagnuola said. “If, after a hearing, the probationer is found to be in violation of the conditions of his probationary sentence, he will be subject to resentencing.” In the latest case, Gloe was charged with two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, two counts of prohibited use of a weapon and one count of endangering the welfare of a child. At Gloe’s arraignment Thursday in Hempstead, Assistant District Attorney Stephanie Dellinger told First District Court Judge Scott H. Siller that Gloe “was given the gift of youthful offender status” on the previous case and officials have been alerted that he violated probation. Dellinger asked for the $100,000 bail or bond, saying Gloe “has a legitimate reason to flee” given his probation violation. Siller agreed and also he issued a stay-away order, requested by prosecutors, to prevent Gloe from having any contact with his neighbors. If Gloe is convicted on the top reckless charge, a D felony, he could face 2½ to 7 years in prison, Dellinger said. Gloe’s Legal Aid Society attorney had argued that flight was not an issue because Gloe, who she said started working about a month ago at a Victoria’s Secret lingerie store, and his parents are of limited means. The attorney said that because there were other people in the backyard when the gun was fired, “we’re not sure who allegedly shot this gun.”

El estudio revela que ''la proporción de obesos cae conforme aumenta el nivel de educación''. AP / ARCHIVO Según el estudio, 15.9 por ciento de los europeos mayores de 18 años era obeso en 2014 BRUSELAS, BÉLGICA (20/OCT/2016).- Una de cada seis personas que viven en la Unión Europea (UE) es considerada obesa y el problema prevalece entre aquellas con menor nivel de educación, indicó una encuesta publicada aquí por la oficina estadística comunitaria, Eurostat.   Según el estudio, 15.9 por ciento de los europeos mayores de 18 años era obeso en 2014, mientras que otro 35.7 por ciento era considerado preobeso y 51.6 por ciento se encontraba por encima del peso adecuado.   Eurostat también afirmó que 2.3 por ciento de la población de la UE tenía un peso inferior a lo adecuado para su edad y estatura en el año analizado.   "La educación juega claramente un papel" en la preponderancia de la obesidad en todos los países europeos, con una diferencia media de 8.4 puntos porcentuales entre la proporción de personas con bajo y elevado nivel educativo, señalaron los investigadores.   "En casi todos los países para los que hay datos disponibles, la proporción de obesos cae conforme aumenta el nivel de educación", afirmó el estudio.   En Eslovenia, país con la mayor diferencia, la obesidad afecta a 26 por ciento de los adultos con bajo nivel de educación y 9.2 por ciento de los con nivel elevado.   También se observó una mayor preponderancia entre personas mayores: 22.1 por ciento de los mayores de 75 años eran obesos en 2014, una cifra que cae para 5.7 por ciento entre aquellos con entre 18 y 24 años.   Entre los países europeos, las menores tasas de obesidad de registraron en Rumania (9.4 por ciento) e Italia (10.7 por ciento), y las más elevadas en Malta (26 por ciento), Letonia (21.3 por ciento) y Hungría (21.2 por ciento). La candidata demócrata se encuentra con el cantante mexicano Vicente Fernández luego del tercer debate presidencial en Estados Unidos.

http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/north-yorkshire-mp-calls-for-crack-down-on-online-ticket-touts-1-8189726

A North Yorkshire MP has urged the Prime Minister to support a crack down on online ticket touts. Speaking in yesterday’s PMQs, Selby and Ansty MP Nigel Adams asked the Government to back his efforts to make it a criminal offence. The Tory MP has proposed an amendment to the Digital Economies Bill, making the use computers to “harvest” tickets from official sites illegal. He argues this would “go a long way” to protecting consumers “and genuine music fans” from paying over-inflated prices. Citing his own experience when trying to buy tickets for the forthcoming Green Day tour, he said: “I thought that I had successfully bought four tickets online for one of my favourite bands... only to be told that the tickets were unavailable and the gig was sold out. “But within minutes I could buy the tickets on another site, for twice the price. “It turns out that the ticket site had been the victim of a computerised attack by organised touts, who then resell tickets at inflated prices. “Will the Prime Minister ask her Ministers to give close consideration to my amendment to the Digital Economy Bill?” Responding to Mr Adams, the Prime Minister pointed out that a review on online ticket sales was carried out last year, following the passage of the Consumer Rights Act. She stated that this review produced “a number of recommendations” for improvements, which the Government “will be looking at... very carefully to see what can be done.”

http://www.metroweekly.com/2016/10/federal-judge-throws-out-lawsuit-trans-womans-death/

Features News Arts Life Community Nightlife Scene Featured Partners Gift Shop A federal judge has dismissed the bulk of a civil lawsuit against police in Berkeley, Calif., brought by the family of a transgender woman who died while in police custody. Relatives of Kayla Moore, who was schizophrenic, allege that six officers used excessive force and suffocated Moore by holding her down on a futon during a struggle after she had a mental health episode, the East Bay Times reports. Moore, who was 41 when the incident occurred in 2013, lost consciousness and died in the struggle with police. An autopsy later revealed she died of acute combined drug intoxication from methamphetamine and codeine use, with morbid obesity and an enlarged heart contributing to Moore’s death. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer agreed with lawyers for the city which claims that “minimal and appropriate” force was used on Moore, and dismissed the charges of excessive force and discrimination. However, Breyer left in place part of the lawsuit claiming that police violated Moore’s rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). “The force used — though fatal when combined with an enlarged heart — was reasonable based on what the officers could know at the time,” Breyer wrote in his opinion. Adante Pointer, the lawyer representing Moore’s family, argued that officers discriminated against Moore by refusing to do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and ignored their own training on dealing with mentally ill people by threatening to arrest Moore and escalating the situation. Pointer also claims that officers threatened to arrest Moore for a warrant issued for an unrelated 60-year-old man named Xavier Moore, which coincidentally was her birth name. As a result, he argued, she panicked and began struggling. The case will return to court next month as the family pursues the ADA-related charges against the officers involved in the incident.

Consideran que la renuencia de Donald Trump 'podría sabotear todo el proceso' electoral en Estados Unidos. AFP / S. Loeb Medios más importantes del mundo destacan la renuencia del candidato republicano a aceptar una eventual derrota LONDRES, INGLATERRA (20/OCT/2016).- Los medios más importantes del mundo reflejaban asombro por la renuencia del candidato presidencial republicano Donald Trump a comprometerse a reconocer los resultados electorales del próximo 8 de noviembre.   Desde El Mundo en España hasta el South China Morning Post en Hong Kong destacan en sus titulares la negativa del aspirante republicano, expresada en el tercer y último debate con la demócrata Hillary Clinton.   "Lo que estoy diciendo es que lo diré en su momento. Los voy a mantener en suspenso", dijo Trump, ante la insistencia del moderador del debate Chris Wallace, quien le preguntó si aceptaría la tradición de que el perdedor reconozca al triunfador.   Clinton, en el debate mismo aún, calificó de "horrenda" la posición de Trump, y recordó que siempre que pierde, el millonario se ha quejado de que el desenlace está "amañado", se trate de una elección hasta un premio Emmy.   El último debate entre los aspirantes a la Casa Blanca desplazó este jueves de las portadas electrónicas a otros temas de actualidad, como la ofensiva contra el Estado Islámico (EI) en la ciudad iraquí de Mosul.   Para el británico The Times la posición de Trump es un signo de interrogación "sin precedente" en la pacífica sucesión del poder en Estados Unidos.   The Independet también de Reino Unido consideró el momento en que Trump declinó expresar su compromiso con el resultado electoral, como el más controvertido del encuentro celebrado en Las Vegas.   En Hong Kong el South China Morning Post considera ese mismo momento como "aturdidor", y destaca también el adjetivo de "desagradable" que lanzó a su rival.   En Tailandia, el Bangkok Post señala que se trata de un reto a una de las piedras angulares de la democracia estadunidense, al mismo tiempo que una onda de choque a todo el espectro político.   Por su parte, The Sydney Morning Herald hace el recuento de que por casi tres cuartas partes del debate, Donald Trump dijo que la elección era deshonesta y que a Clinton no debería habersele permitido participar.   A su vez la Australia Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) indicó que con su negativa a comprometerse a aceptar el resultado electoral, Trump dejó abierta la posibilidad de cuestionarlo.   Por su parte la cadena árabe Al Yazera señala que los pasados procesos electorales en Estados Unidos no han dejado evidencia alguna de fraude electoral.   Y da voz al reverendo Jesse Jackson, para quien esa falta de voluntad para expresar la aceptación de los resultados del 8 de noviembre es el más importante de los temas abordados en el debate de la noche del miércoles.   Esa renuencia "podría sabotear todo el proceso" electoral, añadió a la cadena árabe de noticias.   En Israel, la versión electrónica del Haaretz Daily estima que Trump pudo tener un mejor comportamiento que en los anteriores dos debates, pero él mismo lo hizo estallar al negarse al compromiso de aceptar los resultados electorales.   Trump probó una vez más que él no sigue las reglas. Quizá entusiasmó a sus más fervienets seguidores, pero se alejó de los votantes aún sin compromiso, añadió el rotativo israelí. La candidata demócrata se encuentra con el cantante mexicano Vicente Fernández luego del tercer debate presidencial en Estados Unidos.

http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/drunk-driver-who-hit-student-and-drove-into-cafe-avoids-jail-1-4262872

A DRUNK pub manager who smashed his car into a café front after ploughing into a teenager has escaped a jail sentence. Julian Fogerty crashed into pedestrian Adam Ridley before careering into the front of the capital’s Empire Café with the student still sprawled on the vehicle’s bonnet. Fogerty then reversed out of the destroyed coffee shop in Marchmont, Edinburgh, before driving off and leaving his 19-year-old victim covered in blood and suffering from serious head injuries. Bar manager Fogerty – who had been on his way to meet his partner following an argument - was then picked up by police officers hours later after his wrecked Mazda 6 had been reported abandoned in a nearby street. Fogerty, who has since moved from Edinburgh to Pollock, Glasgow, caused around £17,000 of damage to the Olympic Café and the Toast café next door during his drunken rampage. While Mr Ridley suffered 22 lacerations to his head and body including an eight centimetre cut to his forehead following the incident around 3.40am on July 7 last year. But Fogerty, who had previously pleaded guilty to four charges, escaped a jail term after a sheriff told him he had come “very, very close to custody”. Instead, the 34-year-old was placed on a three-year supervision order and told to complete 270 hours of unpaid work in the community. He was also banned from driving for 27 months and fined £720. Fiscal depute Aiden Higgins had previously told the court Fogerty had been drinking in pubs in the capital’s city centre but had decided to jump into his car in the early hours and drive to meet his partner after the pair had argued earlier that evening. Mr Higgins said: “Having driven a short distance the accused lost control of his vehicle at the junction of Marchmont Road and Strathearn Road and travelled onto the pavement. “At that time Adam Ridley, a 19-year-old student, was walking home and had reached the junction at the same time as the car veered off on to the pavement. “Mr Ridley saw the headlights of the car coming towards him but had no time to avoid being struck by the accused’s car. “The car continued to travel on the pavement with Mr Ridley on the bonnet of the car and crashed through the front of the Empire Café.” Mr Higgins added Fogerty then reversed out of the demolished eaterie before leaving the “seriously injured” student lying in a heap and driving his heavily damaged vehicle away from the scene. Mr Ridley was subsequently forced to spend time in a high dependency unit at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary as medics treated his head injuries. Solicitor Nigel Beaumont had previously told the court his client, who is deputy manager at a Glasgow city centre gastro pub, had not realised he had struck a pedestrian during the incident and had “panicked completely” resulting in him leaving the scene. Mr Beaumont added Fogerty had then failed to give police officers a breath sample on two occasions due to him “panicking and being very upset”. Today Sheriff Fiona Reith said: “This incident had appalling consequences for Mr Ridley and this was a close decision – you are very, very close to custody.” Fogerty admitted to dangerous driving while over the drink drive limit, failing to stop after Mr Ridley had been seriously injured, failing to give the driver’s details and failing to provide two samples of breath, at various locations in Edinburgh and all on July 7 last year.

Unas 660 mil personas fueron evacuadas por las fuertes tormentas producidas por el tifón. AFP / ARCHIVO El fenómeno natural causa graves daños en regiones del sur del país asiático BEIJING, CHINA (20/OCT/2016).- Tres millones de personas resultaron afectadas por el tifón ''Sarika'' en la isla china de Hainan, en el sur del país, que ha causado graves daños en los campos de cultivo de la zona aunque por ahora no se registraron víctimas mortales, informó este jueves la agencia oficial Xinhua. ''Sarika'', vigésimo primer tifón que azota las costas chinas esta temporada, llegó a Hainan el martes transportando vientos de hasta 162 kilómetros por hora, que lo convierten en el más potente que sufre la isla china desde 1971. Unas 660 mil personas fueron evacuadas por las fuertes tormentas producidas por el tifón, que dejaron en la isla una media de precipitaciones de unos 162 milímetros. Unas 380 mil hectáreas de campos de cultivo quedaron dañadas por las lluvias, y se calcula que las pérdidas económicas en el sector agrícola isleño ascienden a unos 670 millones de dólares, informó el gobierno provincial de Hainan. ''Sarika'' también causó desperfectos en varias carreteras y puentes de la isla y paralizó el tráfico en algunas zonas, por lo que las autoridades provinciales trabajan para devolver a la normalidad el tráfico rodado, destacó Xinhua.

Allofs: Ismaël «Cheftrainer» - Chance auf Dauerbeschäftigung Wolfsburg - Valérien Ismaël bekommt beim VfL Wolfsburg die Chance auf eine dauerhafte Beschäftigung als Chefcoach. «Wenn die Resultate positiv sind, ist das denkbar», bestätigte Sportchef Klaus Allofs. Valérien Ismaël bekommt beim VfL Wolfsburg die Chance auf eine dauerhafte Beschäftigung als Chefcoach. «Wenn die Resultate positiv sind, ist das denkbar», bestätigte Sportchef Klaus Allofs. Kurz darauf leitete der bisherige Coach des Wolfsburger Regionalligateams erstmals das Training der Profis als Nachfolger des am Montag beurlaubten Dieter Hecking. Ismaël fungiert zunächst als Interimscoach. «Wir müssen auch in dieser Situation Alternativen prüfen», sagte Allofs, betonte aber auch: «Er ist der Cheftrainer.» Zumindest am Samstag in der Bundesliga beim SV Darmstadt 98 und im DFB-Pokal beim Zweitligisten Heidenheim in der kommenden Woche soll Ismaël den VfL betreuen. Allofs betonte, dass der 41 Jahre alte frühere Profi damit nach seinem glücklosen Intermezzo 2014 als Nürnberger Coach eine neue Chance im Profi-Fußball erhält: «Ich denke, dass er keine Notlösung ist. Mit ihm sind wir sehr gut aufgestellt. Ich traue ihm das zu.» Die Wolfsburger hatten Hecking nach knapp vier Jahren nach dem 0:1 am Sonntag gegen Aufsteiger Leipzig beurlaubt. Mit nur sechs Punkten aus sieben Spielen ist der VfL derzeit nur 14. der Tabelle. Mit Blick auf das Saisonziel Europapokal schränkte Allofs am Dienstag bereits ein: «Ich sage nach wie vor: Unser Ziel ist das internationale Geschäft. Aber wenn wir das in dieser Saison nicht schaffen, dann bedeutet das kein Verfehlen unserer Ziele in diesem Jahr», meinte der Sportchef. Sollte Ismaël die zuletzt arg verunsicherten VfL-Profis kurzfristig nicht in die Spur bekommen, wollen die Niedersachsen eher nach einem deutschsprachigen Coach fahnden. «Klar ist das eine Sache, die man nicht vernachlässigen sollte», sagte Allofs, für den wie schon bei der Hecking-Verpflichtung aus Nürnberg 2012 auch woanders vertraglich gebundene Trainer infrage kämen: «Diese Einschränkung wollen wir uns nicht auferlegen.»

Erstmals seit Beginn der Ukraine-Krise vor mehr als zwei Jahren empfängt Kanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) den russischen Präsidenten Wladimir Putin in Berlin. Zusammen mit den Staatschefs der Ukraine und Frankreichs, Petro Poroschenko und François Hollande, nimmt Putin an diesem Abend an einem Gipfeltreffen zum Friedensprozess in der Ost-Ukraine teil. Merkel und Hollande wollen mit ihm aber auch über die eskalierende Gewalt in Syrien sprechen. Die Kanzlerin dämpfte die Erwartungen allerdings vorsorglich. «Sicher darf man von dem Treffen morgen keine Wunder erwarten», sagte sie am Dienstag. «Aber sprechen ist immer wieder notwendig, auch wenn die Meinungen sehr stark auseinander gehen.» Putin war zuletzt 2013 zur Hannover Messe in Deutschland. Der letzte Berlin-Besuch liegt sogar vier Jahre zurück. Die Annexion der Krim und der Bürgerkrieg zwischen pro-russischen Separatisten und Regierungstruppen in der Ost-Ukraine führten anschließend zu einer Eiszeit in den Beziehungen zum Westen. Seit Frühjahr 2014 wurden im Ukraine-Konflikt nach UN-Schätzungen mehr als 9500 Menschen getötet. Bei dem Treffen in Berlin soll es um die Umsetzung der Minsker Friedensvereinbarungen gehen. Mit den Abkommen von 2014 und 2015 - unterzeichnet in der weißrussischen Hauptstadt Minsk - versuchen Deutschland, Frankreich, Russland und die Ukraine den Krieg zu beenden. Sie sehen einen Waffenstillstand, den Abzug schwerer Waffen von der Front und Wahlen in den Separatistengebieten vor. Doch die Umsetzung lässt auf sich warten. «Wir müssen jede Möglichkeit ausschöpfen, um zu versuchen, Fortschritte zu erzielen», sagte Merkel. «Es geht um eine Bestandsaufnahme, auch schonungslos, wo sind wir.» Hinsichtlich des Syrien-Konflikts machte Merkel Russland schwere Vorwürfe: «Die Situation ist noch desaströser geworden, was die humanitäre Lage anbelangt, und das ganz klar durch syrische und russische Luftangriffe auch auf hilflose Menschen, Krankenhäuser, Ärzte.» Angesichts dieser Situation könne man jetzt keine Option vom Tisch nehmen - auch nicht die der Sanktionen. «Aber Vorrang hat jetzt erst einmal, dass wir gucken müssen, das Leid der Menschen in irgendeiner Weise zu lindern.» Wegen des Konflikts in der Ukraine hat die EU bereits Sanktionen gegen Russland verhängt. Die Außenminister der EU-Staaten konnten sich am Montag nicht auf eine gemeinsame Position zu möglichen weiteren Strafmaßnahmen einigen. Russland, das das Regime von Syriens Präsident Baschar al-Assad unterstützt, wurde lediglich noch einmal aufgefordert, an einer friedlichen Lösung mitzuarbeiten und Hilfslieferungen nach Aleppo zu ermöglichen. Für weitere Sanktionen hätte es eine einstimmige Entscheidung geben müssen. Russland und Syrien kündigten am Dienstag an, ihre Luftangriffe auf Aleppo am Dienstag um 10.00 Uhr (Ortszeit/9.00 MESZ) vorerst einzustellen. «Die Unterbrechung ist für die achtstündige humanitäre Pause nötig, die für diesen Donnerstag geplant ist», sagte der russische Verteidigungsminister Sergej Schoigu der Agentur Tass zufolge.

«Reichsbürger» schießt auf Polizisten Georgensgmünd/Roth - Ein sogenannter Reichsbürger hat bei einer Razzia in Georgensgmünd bei Nürnberg auf Polizisten geschossen - vier Beamte wurden verletzt, einer von ihnen lebensgefährlich. Ein sogenannter Reichsbürger hat bei einer Razzia in Georgensgmünd bei Nürnberg auf Polizisten geschossen - vier Beamte wurden verletzt, einer von ihnen lebensgefährlich. Der 32 Jahre alte Beamte eines Spezialeinsatzkommandos (SEK) sei operiert worden, sagte Bayerns Innenminister Joachim Herrmann (CSU). Sein Zustand sei «eher stabil, aber durchaus lebensgefährlich». Ein zweiter SEK-Beamter (31 Jahre alt) habe einen Durchschuss am Oberarm erlitten, zwei weitere Polizisten (beide 37 Jahre alt) seien durch Glassplitter verletzt worden. Ein 49 Jahre alter Mann hatte am Morgen das Feuer auf die Beamten eröffnet, als diese in sein Haus eindrangen. Der Jäger, der 31 Lang- und Kurzwaffen zunächst legal besaß, galt bei den Behörden als nicht mehr zuverlässig. Daher sollten ihm seine Waffen bei der Aktion entzogen werden. Zuvor hatten die Behörden seinen Jagdschein sowie seine Waffenbesitzkarte als ungültig erklärt. Der Mann wurde bei dem Einsatz festgenommen. Gegen ihn wird wegen versuchten Mordes ermittelt. Ein Haftantrag sei gestellt und der 49-Jährige werde am Donnerstag zu einem Ermittlungsrichter gebracht, sagte Oberstaatsanwältin Anita Traud. «Ich bin entsetzt über den Fall», sagte Herrmann. Es sei eine «bisher so in Bayern nicht gekannte Eskalation». Aufgrund des Vorfalls sollten nun alle bekannten sogenannten Reichsbürger in Bayern «rasch noch mal einer grundlegenden Überprüfung» unterzogen und die Bewegung stärker in den Blick genommen werden, kündigte Herrmann an. «Reichsbürger» erkennen die Bundesrepublik Deutschland nicht als Staat an. Stattdessen behaupten sie, das Deutsche Reich bestehe bis heute fort. Häufig legen sie dabei die Grenzen von 1937 zugrunde. Daher sprechen sie dem Grundgesetz, Behörden und Gerichten die Legitimität ab und akzeptieren auch amtliche Bescheide nicht. Der 49-Jährige, der derzeit keiner Arbeit nachging, sei den Behörden bislang nicht aufgefallen, sagte der Rother Landrat Herbert Eckstein: «Bei dem Mann war seitens des Verfassungsschutzes so nichts feststellbar.» Früher habe er eine Schule für Kampfsport betrieben. Erst als der Mann im Sommer Kontrolleure von seinem Grundstück verwies, die die ordnungsgemäße Aufbewahrung seiner Waffen überprüfen wollten, entschlossen sich die Behörden zu dem Zugriff. Der 49-Jährige hatte in diesem Zusammenhang dem Landrat auch einen nach seinen Worten «wilden Brief» geschickt, in dem er sich als «Reichsbürger» erklärte und mitteilte, dass er sich an staatliche Maßnahmen nicht halte. Als erstes wurde der Zoll im Mai auf den Mann aufmerksam, weil sich der 49-Jährige weigerte, die Kfz-Steuer zu bezahlen. Weil bekannt war, dass der Mann eine Vielzahl von Waffen in seinem Haus hatte, wurde schließlich das SEK zur Unterstützung angefordert. «Der Täter war im ersten Stock und eröffnete sofort von oben das Feuer», berichtete der Polizeipräsident von Mittelfranken, Johann Rast, von dem Einsatz. Der 49-Jährige habe dabei eine Schutzweste getragen und mit einer Kurzwaffe auf die Polizisten geschossen. «Wie viele Schüsse insgesamt fielen, ist noch unklar», sagte Rast.

Explosion bei BASF - was wir wissen und was nicht Viele Fragen sind nach der Explosion auf dem BASF-Gelände offen. Die Untersuchungen zur Ursache dauern an. Und es gibt noch immer einen Vermissten - was wir wissen und was nicht. Einen Tag nach der Explosion beim Chemiekonzern BASF befinden sich noch sechs Verletzte auf der Intensivstation. "Es steht zum Teil nicht sehr gut um diese Menschen", sagte Dieter Feid, für die Feuerwehr zuständiger Dezernent der Stadt Ludwigshafen, am Dienstag auf einer Pressekonferenz. Die Aufforderung an die Anwohner, Fenster und Türen geschlossen zu halten, gelte zur Sicherheit weiter, sagte er. Laut BASF trete weiterhin Gas aus. Man habe aber bislang keine erhöhten Konzentrationen schädlicher Stoffe gemessen. Bei der Explosion am Montag waren zwei Angehörige der BASF-Betriebsfeuerwehr ums Leben gekommen. Eine Person wurde am Dienstag noch vermisst. Die Lage ist noch unübersichtlich. Was wir wissen Ablauf: Am Montagvormittag wurde die Werksfeuerwehr der BASF zu einem Brand an Rohrleitungen im Nordhafen gerufen. Als die Männer zum Brandort vordrangen, kam es zu einer gewaltigen Explosion und in der Folge zu weiteren Bränden. Ein Übergreifen der Flammen auf ein Tankschiff konnte von einem Feuerwehrlöschboot verhindert werden. Tote und Verletzte: Bei der ersten Explosion wurden zwei Mitarbeiter der Werksfeuerwehr getötet. Zehn Menschen werden derzeit im Krankenhaus behandelt, sechs davon liegen auf der Intensivstation. Zunächst war von sechs Vermissten die Rede, am Dienstagmittag war noch eine Person vermisst. Ausgetretene Stoffe: Nach BASF-Angaben sind Propylen und Ethylen ausgetreten. Mit großer Sicherheit waren diese auch an dem Brand beteiligt. Ethylen werde unter anderem zur Herstellung von Dämmstoffen und Lösemitteln verwendet, Propylen werde unter anderem bei der Produktion von Autolacken und Klebstoffen benutzt. Weiterer Ablauf: Der Rohrgraben ist derzeit mit einer etwa einen Meter breiten Schaumschicht abgedeckt. Das soll verhindern, dass weiter Flüssigkeiten austreten. Erst wenn sichergestellt ist, dass tatsächlich keine Flüssigkeiten mehr aus den Rohren laufen, können der Schaum entfernt und die Rohre begutachtet werden. Das könnte noch bis Mittwochabend dauern. Was wir nicht wissen Vermisste Person: Noch immer wird eine Person vermisst. Nach BASF-Angaben handelt es sich dabei nicht um einen Mitarbeiter des Unternehmens. Es könnte ein Matrose eines Tankschiffs sein. Da der Vermisste im Hafenbecken vermutet wird, sollen Taucher nach ihm suchen. Derzeit könne der Einsatz aber noch nicht beginnen, sagte Feuerwehrchef Peter Friedrich. Ursache: Unklar ist vor allem, warum es zu dem ersten, relativ kleinen Brand kam, zu dem die Werksfeuerwehr ausrückte und in dessen Folge es zu der folgenschweren Explosion kam. Umweltbelastung: Hier fehlen klare Angaben. Die BASF sagt, es seien keine kritischen Werte gemessen worden - weder in der Luft, im Boden oder im Wasser. Laut Feuerwehrchef Friedrich gab es am Montag während des Brandes erhöhte Werte chemischer Substanzen. Derzeit werde die Warnung an die Anwohner, Fenster und Türen geschlossen zu halten, als reine Vorsichtsmaßnahme aufrecht erhalten. Wirtschaftliche Folgen: Dazu gibt es im Moment wenig Konkretes. BASF-Vorstandsmitglied Margret Suckale sagt, diese Fragen hätten derzeit keine Priorität. Sie räumte ein, dass die Unterbrechung der Rohstoffzufuhr eine große Herausforderung für Produktion und Logistik sei. Mit Kunden werde nach Lösungen gesucht. Zahlreiche Anlagen stehen still. Wann sie wieder in Betrieb gehen können, ist unklar.

Läuft bei Zalando Machte das Unternehmen Zalando vor einem Jahr noch Verluste, so hat der Online-Modehändler im dritten Quartal sogar mehr Gewinne gemacht als erwartet. Endgültige Zahlen stehen aber noch aus. Die Zeiten, in denen Zalando mit schreienden Paketboten und begeisterten Kundinnen warb, sind vorbei. Das Geschäft läuft aber nach wie vor zur Freude des Internet-Modehändlers: Für das dritte Quartal werden noch höhere Gewinne erwartet als die ersten Prognosen zeigten. Das Sommergeschäft lief gut bei Zalando und so erwartet das Unternehmen einen bereinigten operativen Gewinn von 8 bis 25 Millionen Euro. Im Vorjahreszeitraum hatte Zalando noch ein Minus von 24 Millionen Euro eingefahren. Das Unternehmen rechnet außerdem mit einem Umsatzplus um 16 bis 18 Prozent auf 827 bis 841 Millionen Euro, wie es am Mittwoch mitteilte. Das Vorquartal war allerdings noch besser gelaufen. Zalando wird noch profitabler Bei der bereinigten Ebit-Marge, einem Maß für die Profitabilität des Unternehmens, stellt der Online-Händler für das Gesamtjahr nun 5 bis 6 Prozent in Aussicht. Zuvor war die Firma von 4 bis 5,5 Prozent ausgegangen. An der Börse trieb die Ankündigung die Aktie am Morgen nach oben. Beim Umsatz will Zalando in diesem Jahr um fast ein Viertel zulegen - er könnte damit von den knapp 3 Milliarden Euro im Vorjahr auf fast 3,7 Milliarden Euro steigen. Die endgültigen Zahlen für das dritte Quartal will Zalando am 10. November veröffentlichen.

Two Yorkshire-born businessmen are bringing a new sporting event to the city of Leeds that will help raise funds for charities. Paul Collins and Robert Kirby, both originally from the region, have launched Eco Trail Trekker – a fitness event that enables participants to walk, jog or run a 10k or 30k course as a team of four. Their business model is based on the Eco Trail Hiker, which was launched in Macau seven years ago by Mr Kirby. Speaking to The Yorkshire Post, Mr Collins said: “The event is open to people of all abilities.” The first Leeds Eco Trail Trekker will take place in October next year and the event has two courses, one covering a 10k distance and another covering 30k. Participants enter as a team of four and all have to cross the finishing line at the same time. Mr Collins says the reason they chose Leeds to launch Eco Trail Trekker was the duo’s affinity to the city. Mr Kirby, who now resides in Penang, Malaysia, helped launch the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Leeds, while Mr Collins, who splits his time between the UK and Florida, founded Leeds-based Beaver International, a clothing provider to the sports and corporate sectors. “When we decided to launch the global operation we thought there would be no better place to launch our first event in the UK than the city of Leeds,” Mr Collins said. Mr Kirby launched the Eco Trail Hiker in 2010 in Macau. That event will be taken over by MGM Casino after the seventh edition closes. Mr Collins says they are hoping to take Eco Trail Trekker global off the back of its Leeds launch. He said: “Robert and I decided to make it a global event because of our contacts around the world, who love the idea and want the event in their countries. Similarly in the UK our ambitions are by 2018 to have a minimum of 14 other events running throughout the course of the year, raising lots of money for charity as well. “In the Yorkshire region we’re hoping to run events in Sheffield, Hull, Lincoln and in York.” Mr Collins, who has a business called HCD Language Services, says that 50 per cent of competitors’ entrance fees go towards charities. In Leeds they have pledged to support Marie Curie Foundation, Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice, Canal and River Trust and the Lord Mayor’s Charity. Mr Collins admits that there is also a commercial element to the event. “No-one can run an event without any cost factor,” he said. “There is a commercial side to it because we are setting it up as a franchise operation.” Eco Trail Trekker is intended to be an annual event so that it becomes a fixture in the calendar that corporates and charities can rely on. Mr Collins says the event will appeal to “all sectors and not just elite athletes”. He said: “All we can do is mirror what has happened in Macau and in Macau we have competitors of all ages, both genders. “We have mixed teams where you get a whole family from grandfather to grandson entering.” In the build-up to the inaugural event in October 2017, Mr Collins says they plan on working with local sports clubs to design training programmes to help people prepare for the Eco Trail Trekker. Leeds’s sporting pedigree will make the event a draw, Mr Collins said. He added that he would “absolutely love it” if Leeds could lead the way in showing the rest of the UK on how participating in physical activity can be good for personal health. Team bonding and building The Leeds Eco Trail Trekker is supported by and organised in conjunction with Leeds Beckett University and Yorkshire Sport Foundation. The first event will take place on October 14-15 next year and both the 10k and 30k courses will begin on the Acre at Leeds Beckett’s Headingley campus. The event’s website www.ecotrailtrekker.com has gone live and teams will be able to register from November 1. Paul Collins says the event is a good way of team building as everyone has to cross the finish line together. The actual trek culminates in a festival at the campus, where health and wellness firms will exhibit their products.

Law enforcement officers are praising a good Samaritan who on Wednesday chased down two men who stole a senior woman’s purse in the Atwater Save Mart parking lot. The citizen witnessed the robbery and followed the suspects on foot until they were detained by Merced County Sheriff’s deputies. “I want to commend the citizen for not turning the other way when he observed the crime in progress,” said interim Atwater Police Chief Samuel Joseph. The woman positively identified the suspects after her purse was returned to her. One of the suspects confessed to hiding $100 that was stolen in the bushes, and the money also was returned to the woman. The two suspects, 20-year-old Ismael Castro and 18-year-old Richard Hatcher III, both from Winton, remain in the John Latorraca Correctional Facility on $100,000 bail. They were booked on suspicion of robbery and conspiracy. Castro in the past was cited for vandalism and battery, booking records show.

Texas Medical Board Whiffs in Latest Crusade Against Controversial Doc In its failed bid to strip controversial cancer doctor Stanislaw Burzynski of his medical license, the Texas Medical Board has done the unthinkable: It allowed the judges hearing the case to issue a preliminary ruling that would make great ad copy on the Burzynski Clinic's website, right alongside dubious claims and anecdotal success stories related to an unproven "treatment" regimen that began when Burzynski surreptitiously collected urine from public restrooms. Administrative law judges last week issued a proposed decision dismissing the bulk of the board's latest claims against Burzynski, calling the doctor — who is not an oncologist — "a dedicated and innovative physician who wants to continue treating advanced cancer patients." The judges' 221-page decision, which still awaits ratification, is the culmination of a nearly two-year effort by the medical board to prove that Burzynski has swindled patients into paying inflated costs for questionable treatments, by, in some cases, passing off unlicensed staff as doctors. Board attorneys relied primarily on three medical experts who apparently didn't impress the judges — one expert, a pediatric oncologist at Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute, dinged her credibility (and the board's) by issuing a flawed report on a prospective patient who didn't even receive full treatment at Burzynski's clinic. Upcoming Events University of Houston Cougars Football vs. Louisville Cardinals College Football Tickets Thu., Nov. 17, 7:00pm Rice University Owls Football vs. UTEP Miner Football Tickets Sat., Nov. 19, 11:00am Houston Texans Travel Packages Sun., Jan. 1, 12:00am Monster Jam Tickets Sat., Jan. 7, 7:00pm Incredibly, it seems that none of the board's medical experts came were local — e.g., physicians at Texas Children's Hospital or M.D. Anderson, who have a long history with treating patients right before, or after, they've sought help from Burzynski. It seems like credible local specialists from the Texas Medical Center should have been lined up around the block to shed some light on Burzynski's "antineoplaston" treatment, and their silence is deafening. Because the board's spokesperson, Jarrett Schneider, wouldn't comment, we don't know if the board couldn't afford to pay these people for their time, or if they weren't considered in the first place. What we got, instead, was Dr. Cynthia Wetmore, who seems to have done a decent job in most aspects, but screwed up royally when it came to someone referred to as "Patient D." The judges noted that Wetmore claimed that Patient D "did not receive the standard of care and was exposed to medications that are not documented to cross the blood brain barrier." The only problem with that, per the judges, was that "Contrary to Dr. Wetmore's testimony and report, Patient D received no treatment or therapy at the Clinic." They wrote that "such inattentiveness to the accuracy of her report raises concerns about her credibility." When the guy on the hotseat is a self-annointed cancer-curer who brags of being a "hereditary count," who has never been published in a reputable medical journal, sells wrinkle-reduction cream derived from Polynesian "sacred oil," holds a patent on a cancer-fighting toothpaste, accuses disgruntled patients of being whores and Secret Service agents and once published a study on antineoplastons in feta cheese, you'd think staff attorneys for the Texas Medical Board wouldn't have to worry about their own expert's credibility. We'd have loved for medical board attorneys to have sought out David Gorski, a surgical oncologist at Wayne State University's Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, who has brilliantly critiqued Burzynski on his Respectful Insolence blog. After the board filed the complaint at issue in 2014, Gorski was cautiously optimistic, writing that he was glad the board "has decided to take another whack at the piñata," despite his concerns that the board "is toothless by design, thanks to an anti-regulatory bias that has led to laws that have weakened its already weak regulatory authority." The medical board even seemed to whiff on what should have seemed to be a lock: the clinic's love for draping key staff members in white lab coats, with nametags identifying them as "doctor," who are addressed by other employees as "doctor." In this setting, it's not hard to understand why a patient might assume that these individuals are in fact licensed to practice medicine in the United States. But, as Burzynski's lawyers pointed out, research associates with Ph.D.s are also "doctors," and it certainly ain't the clinic's fault if some dying patient jumps to conclusions. When it came to the board's double-barrel accusation that Burzynski misrepresented these employees as physicians, thereby aiding and abetting the unauthorized practice of medicine, the judges split the difference: in the majority of cases, they opined, Burzynski was guilty of allowing these people to hold themselves out as physicians, but since an actual physician made the important calls, these fake medical doctors weren't actually practicing medicine. In one case, though, a fake doctor actually practiced fake medicine, leaving Burzynski vulnerable. The board can still pursue sanctions, but not until both sides get to submit even more arguments for the judges to consider. As board spokesman Schneider told us in an email: "The case is still pending an outcome… Procedurally the parties now have to file any exceptions they have to the ALJs’ Proposal For Decision (PFD). So this still has to occur before the PFD is presented at a future board meeting for consideration/adoption. The Board would determine any appropriate sanctions at that point in time." We appreciate Schneider's calm, measured response. We hope, behind the scenes, the board and its attorneys — ostensibly the protectors of Texas patients' health and welfare — are kicking themselves, sharply, in the rear end.  Sponsor Content

A LEEDS man is thought to have fallen to his death while trying to break into a house. The full circumstances surrounding the death of Oliver Mark Grayson are still to be explored by coroners, but police today said the 34-year-old’s death appeared to be the result of a fall. Mr Grayson’s body was found in the back yard of a house in Headingley on October 8. Police investigated his death, which is not being treated as suspicious, but also recorded that an attempted burglary had taken place at the address. Detective Inspector Phil Jackson, of Leeds District CID, said: “At 10.30am on Saturday, October 8, police were contacted by the ambulance service who were attending an address in Claremont Avenue, Leeds, following a report of a man being found collapsed in the rear yard of the house. “Officers attended and paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene. His death appears to be the result of a fall and is not being treated as suspicious. “Due to the circumstances at the scene we have recorded an attempted burglary in relation to the incident and that investigation has been finalised.” An inquest into the death of Mr Grayson, who lived in the Hunslet area, was opened and adjourned yesterday.

A technology entrepreneur is aiming to revolutionise the way friends and families collect and manage money for social events. Achille Traore, a tenant at the Leeds Digital Hub, has launched a new platform called Swoosch. The website allows people to create a fund page similar to Just Giving and crowd funding platforms, except Swoosch is a semi-private platform for people to collect money for social events such as stag and hen parties. Mr Traore, founder of Top Screen Media, said: “The inspiration for the idea came when I was organising a stag do for a friend of mine. It was an absolute nightmare to organise the trip between 15 people – where we’d be staying, activities.” Being “digitally minded”, Mr Traore had a look online to see if there were any platforms which he could use to collect money for the stag do. “I realised that there is not much out there that would solve this very common problem of collecting and managing money in a group,” Mr Traore told The Yorkshire Post. A year on and the entrepreneur has launched Swoosch. Mr Traore spent six months developing the platform. Simplicity and security were the two big challenges when developing Swoosch. Mr Traore said: “We’ve designed it in a way and made it so easy to use that people don’t get confused. “I’ll give you an example. If Facebook launched today and it looked like it does now they would not have the same adaptation because it’s so busy. “It’s important to get a really stripped back and simple interface. Doing one thing but doing one thing really, really well –rather than trying to attempt too many things. “The sole purpose of this is to collect money for social occasions.” He added that there are many applicable uses for Swoosch and that it could even be used to collect money for charitable causes and crowdfunding for business projects. There is no limit to the amount that can be raised, he added. Top Screen Media, which began life in 2009 creating kiosks for ticket purchases in the sports industry, charges two per cent with a further two per cent card processing fee, the only costs for users to collect money on Swoosch. Rather than the money going into a client account, it is stored in a e-wallet, the founder of Top Screen Media said. Mr Traore added: “It’s a fully secure platform as well. It’s not just like a payment gateway we build in-house. “It’s a fully secure payment gateway with full KYC approval – it’s the bank standard – so it’s the highest level of security.” Amongst the uses he envisages for Swoosch are office collections – for leaving presents, promotions and birthdays. Mr Traore said: “Everyone knows how annoying it is. People having to walk around with an envelope to collect money for somebody’s leaving party. “Things have moved on. I never carry cash myself. It would solve a problem for me. I could just click on the link and make a payment instantly.” With technological developments, Mr Traore believes more and more people are leaning towards cashless forms of payment. Mr Traore says the market that Swoosch is going to be most popular with is 20 to 35-year-old females. “It’s a great target audience because there’s a lot of things happening in their lives at this time – weddings, hen dos, christenings,” he said. Top Screen Media specialises in digital innovation and customer engagement and a future project that the company is working on is smart shelves – providing a more interactive retail experience. The funding platform can be viewed here: https://swoosch.it/ On an upward path Top screen Media was founded in 2009 by Achille Traore. The company provides digital innovation, helping businesses connect better with customers. The business is on the expansion path. Mr Traore now has a team of five other full-time staff members. He expects this number to reach 10 full-time staff in the next few months. Mr Traore recently also headhunted a new staff member from tech giant Apple’s corporate sales team. “It’s a company that is growing nicely,” says Mr Traore. Merlin Group is one of the firm’s large clients.

Thursday October 20, 2016 Jump to content By Alexis Bechman As of Tuesday, October 18, 2016 Advertisement A 20-year-old will spend the next 1.5 years in prison for multiple drug infractions, including possession of methamphetamine and heroin, which he sold to feed his own drug habit. The Arizona Department of Public Safety Gila/Navajo County Narcotics Task Force worked six months to arrest Gabriel Joseph Martinez, 20, of the Valley, who they believed was selling drugs in the community, according to Det. Sgt. Erik Axlund with the task force. On May 4, task force officers were watching traffic come and go from Martinez’s room at the Payson Motel 6. When he left the room and drove away, officers saw Martinez commit multiple traffic violations and officers stopped him. Officers smelled burnt chemicals coming from the vehicle and Martinez appeared impaired. Detectives found drug paraphernalia on Martinez and 3.5 grams of heroin, one gram of meth and other drug paraphernalia in the vehicle, according to a pre-sentence report. On Friday, Judge Gary Scales sentenced Martinez to 1.5 years in prison, 36 months probation and $2,300 in fines for solicitation to possess heroin for sale and possession of meth. Also on Friday, Scales sentenced Martinez in a separate, earlier case for possession of drug paraphernalia involving meth. In that case, officers found Martinez in possession of a bag of meth. Martinez will serve one year in prison and pay $586 in fines in that case. That prison time will run concurrent to the other sentence. Martinez told a probation officer that he started using marijuana at the age of 12. At age 15, he occasionally used cocaine; at 16, opiates, meth and heroin. He continued to use meth, heroin and marijuana on and off until his arrest. As a teen, Martinez started selling heroin to support his drug habit, according to the report. He was sent to juvenile detention and attended substance abuse treatment six times a day. He was released in 2014, but relapsed in 2015 after he started hanging out with the wrong crowd. “As time progressed, he literally lost everything and was selling illegal drugs to sustain himself and support his drug habit,” probation wrote. Martinez’s lawyer Michael Bernays said Martinez wants treatment and he hopes he takes that seriously while in prison. Martinez said he was sorry for the choices he had made and apologized to his family and the court. Use the comment form below to begin a discussion about this content.

CDC to Pregnant Women: Get Tested for Zika if You've Visited Any Part of Miami Ever since the Zika outbreak hit Miami, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned of "hot zones" where the virus has definitively been spread locally. Shaded alarmingly red on maps, the first zone in Wynwood was followed by another in South Beach and, last week, an area in Little River. (Wynwood's zone has since been removed.) But is Zika also spreading locally outside of those identified areas? In a new warning, the CDC says it's worried enough about the possibility that pregnant women who've been to any part of Miami-Dade County should get tested for the disease. “Zika continues to pose a threat to pregnant women living in or traveling to Miami-Dade County,” said Lyle Petersen, MD, MPH, and director of the Division of Vector-Borne Diseases. “Our guidance today strengthens our travel advice and testing recommendations for pregnant women to further prevent the spread of the infection among those most vulnerable.” It's worth a reminder what those hot zones in Miami Beach and Little River represent: They're areas where scientists have proven that local mosquitoes have transmitted more than one case of Zika. Yesterday, Florida's Department of Health confirmed two new locally transmitted cases, both linked to the Miami Beach hot zone. That brings the number of local cases statewide to 165, along with 745 travel-related cases; in all, at least 110 pregnant women have been infected. But isolating the hot zones where transmission is definitely happening doesn't mean the virus isn't also spreading elsewhere in Miami-Dade. "Although the specific level of risk in yellow areas is unknown, pregnant women are still considered to be at risk," the CDC warns. In case the map isn't clear enough, all of Miami-Dade County is such a "yellow area." The risk is real enough for the CDC to discourage all nonessential travel to the county for pregnant women — and now to encourage any pregnant woman who has visited since August 1 to be tested. Zika has been linked to birth defects and can also be sexually transmitted.  Sponsor Content

When rescuers from Charlotte checked on pets at evacuated homes in Eastern North Carolina after Hurricane Matthew, one dog in particular wanted to go back home with them. The “little brown dog” followed the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s Animal Care & Control truck until they stopped and let the pooch in. Workers were so touched they even shot video of the dog as it followed the truck. Animal Care & Control’s emergency response team was doing care checks on animals left at their homes in evacuated areas of Tarboro on Tuesday when they stopped to feed a few dogs gathered at a house. After making sure the dogs were OK, fed and cared for, the officers got back in their vehicles and headed down the street, only to be followed by the little brown dog, as they referred to it. The dog had no ID or Microchip and is safe and being cared for by the Edgecombe County shelter until it can be reunited with its owners. “We hope this warms your heart as much as it has ours,” Melissa Knicely, Animal Care & Control public information officer, said of the video.

2nd Ward - A Bicycle Opera: Ride a Sonic Bike, Hear Crazy Amazing Sounds The Kaffe Matthews-produced bicycle opera in 2014 – the first of its kind in Houston that allowed folks to ride “sonic bicycles” that create path-dependent musical compositions via speakers, a digitally programmed score, a computer and GPS receiver – coaxed some interesting responses from participants. Some comments in the guestbook included: “I felt as if I were floating around in a dream. This is a poetic and soulful journey through the suburbs of Houston - one of my favorite suburbs in the world and from my childhood.” “It is so refreshing to ride around my neighborhood and hear stories about the community's struggle and have the neighborhood be a part of that story by just being.” Upcoming Events “So wonderful how immersive it was to be surrounded with sounds from the project and from the environment.” “The rider is audience,” adds David Dove, founding director of Nameless Sound, which is presenting the reprise 2nd Ward - A Bicycle Opera/2° Barrio - Una Ópera en Bicicleta. “But they are also determining the flow of the piece, finding a sonic narrative resulting from their journey through space.” The bicycle opera is a site-specific piece composed by London-based sound artist Matthews and features contributions from Microphonic Research Institute, Vampire Squid Labs, East End residents, writers, musicians, children, programmers and engineers. Instead of riding a straight shot through the 2nd Ward, riders can create his own composition by speeding up, slowing down, completely stopping, turning in circles or pausing to listen to sounds that aren’t evident when whooshing down the path. “Kaffe immersed herself in the environment. She attuned the sounds and levels to the environment, and how they might behave in that environment. Sometimes those sounds blend in. Sometimes they comment. Sometimes they dialog with the environment. Sometimes, depending on the path the rider chooses, they form narratives,” says Dove, who adds, “There is a very interesting indeterminacy that results from the behavior of the GPS.” “In a sense, the piece remains the same,” says Dove when asked how the 2016 version might differ from the debut program two years ago. “Its sounds are determined by GPS coordinates, and GPS coordinates don't change. It is a piece that was composed specific to its site. But what may have changed is the site where the piece lives. What has changed in the 2nd Ward since 2014? The bike opera is like a piece of public art. It lives where it lives, and the place changes around it, though the bike opera disappears and reappears.” Dove, who has produced a volume of concerts that easily numbers in the triple digits, says that 2nd Ward - A Bicycle Opera is perhaps the most challenging event he’s put together. “For many reasons, this was probably the most complex and intense production that Nameless Sound has ever taken on. It involved months of collaboration that included a team of engineers and programmers who built the bikes, and group of children from the neighborhood who composed music for it, musicians from the neighborhood who contributed music, poets and writers conducting workshops and gathering oral histories from the 2nd Ward,” says Dove. “Other than Kaffe Matthews, the team of collaborators (artists and engineers) were all from the neighborhood. With the current trends toward instrumentalizing artists and artmaking for the development of neighborhoods, it was important to us that this project team was made of 2nd Ward residents.” 2nd Ward - A Bicycle Opera/2° Barrio - Una Ópera en Bicicleta takes place from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, October 22, at the Historic Firestation #2, 317 Sampson Street. It’s free and the sonic bikes will be provided. For more information, call 713-928-5653 or go to namelesssound.org. Sponsor Content

Freundin von Sarah Lombardi packt aus Fotos und Chat-Protokolle haben sie überführt: Sarah Lombardi ist fremdgegangen. Während sie ohne Ehemann Pietro auf Kreta Urlaub macht, packt ihre Freundin über die Affäre aus - und spricht sogar von Liebe. Sie ist nach Kreta geflüchtet. Alleine, ohne Ehemann Pietro Lombardi. Der Griechenland-Aufenthalt war ursprünglich als Familienurlaub geplant. Jetzt wird er zur Zerreißprobe für das einstige Traumpaar Sarah und Pietro Lombardi. Denn während sie tausende Kilometer von zuhause entfernt am Strand Fotos macht, kommen immer mehr Details über ihre Affäre ans Licht. Jetzt meldet sich eine Freundin der 24-Jährigen im Kölner "Express" zu Wort. Demnach sei der Mann, der auf den Fremdgeh-Fotos mit Sarah Lombardi zu sehen ist, schon immer ihre große Liebe gewesen. "Sie sind das erste Mal zusammengekommen, als Sarah 13 Jahre alt war. Seitdem haben sie sich immer wieder getrennt und sind dann doch wieder zusammengekommen”, sagte die Freundin, die nicht namentlich genannt wird, der Zeitung. Pietro Lombardi und Michal T. kennen sich Sie glaube nicht daran, dass die Ehe zwischen Sarah und Pietro noch zu retten sei. Eine Trennung sei unvermeidlich. "Es sieht alles danach aus", sagte sie. Pikant: Offenbar kennen sich Pietro Lombardi und sein Widersacher Michal T., das behauptet zumindest die Freundin. "Er wusste nicht, dass er so eine große Bedeutung für Sarah hat.” Offenbar hat Sarah Lombardi bereits damit gerechnet, dass sie die Affäre nicht länger verheimlichen kann. Seit Juli habe Michal T. im Freundeskreis geprahlt, dass er wieder was mit Sarah habe. "Da war uns schon klar, dass es dieses Mal rauskommt”, sagte die Freundin. Die Affäre zwischen Sarah Lombardi und Michal T. - sie dauerte demnach schon seit Monaten. Freundin von Sarah Lombardi spricht von "Liebe" Während Ehemann Pietro Lombardi alleine im gemeinsamen Haus in Köln sitzt, veröffentlicht Sarah Lombardi fröhliche Schnappschüsse aus dem Urlaub auf ihrem privaten Facebook-Profil. Offenbar ist sie froh darüber, dass ihre Lüge aufgeflogen ist. "Sarah ist natürlich nicht begeistert, wie ihre Liebe zu Michal an die Öffentlichkeit gelangt ist, aber auf der anderen Seite ist ihr auch ein Stein vom Herzen gefallen", berichtet die Freundin. Am kommenden Sonntag wird Sarah Lombardi im Fernsehen zu sehen sein. Nicht mit Michal T., sondern mit Pietro Lombardi. Als glückliches Paar werden die beiden an der Vox-Kochshow "Grill den Henssler" teilnehmen. Nicht, weil sie sich versöhnt hätten, sondern weil die Sendung bereits im vergangenen September aufgezeichnet wurde. Da waren die Lombardis noch ein glückliches Paar. Zumindest dachte das Pietro Lombardi.

http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/9-000-more-unemployed-people-in-yorkshire-1-8189732

The number of unemployed people in Yorkshire increased by 9,000 in the last three months, despite a national record being set for the number of people in work. Some 160,000 people in the region were jobless between June and August as Yorkshire’s unemployment rate remained unchanged on the previous quarter at 5.9 per cent. Nationally, in the same three-month period, unemployment grew by 10,000 to 1.66 million, the first rise since the start of the year. Meanwhile, employment was also up, by 106,000 to almost 32 million, the highest since records began in 1971. Analysts say the jobless figure grew because more people started seeking work. Conversely the employment rate was boosted because of a 65,000 fall in the number of people who were classed as “economically active”, which reached a joint record low rate of 21.5 per cent. That figure includes people on long-term sick leave, looking after a relative or those who have given up looking for a job. The claimant count, including those on Jobseeker’s Allowance, increased - up by 700 to 776,400. It was the sixth time in the last seven months that the figure has increased. The figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) show average earnings increased by 2.3 per cent in the year to August, down by 0.1 per cent on the previous month. ONS statistician Nick Palmer said: “These figures show that employment continued to grow over the summer and vacancies remain at high levels, suggesting continuing confidence in the economy. While there was also a small rise in the headline unemployment level, that was accompanied by more people actively seeking work.” Unemployment is 118,000 lower than a year ago despite the latest rise, which was the first since the quarter to February, giving a jobless rate of 4.9 per cent. The latest increase was due to a 23,000 rise in unemployed women, compared with a 12,000 fall among men. There were 34.4 million jobs in June - half a million more than the previous year. Employment Minister Damian Hinds said: “Once again it’s great news for Britain as the employment rate remains at a record high, with more than 31.8 million men and women in work. “But there’s more to do, particularly when it comes to supporting young people into employment. “We want to build a solid base for the future; that’s why today I have announced the rollout of our Jobcentre Plus Support for Schools scheme in England, which will give tens of thousands of young people help in taking their first steps into the world of work.” But the figures were described as “concerning” by the Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Debbie Abrahams, who said: “When taken with the wide regional and gender differences in employment rates, and inflation rising, there is a real risk to the living standards of British people under this failing Tory Government.” TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady said family’s income was under pressure because of weak pay growth and rising inflation. He added: “The worry is that families are heading towards another fall in living standards.” Josh Hardie, deputy director general of the CBI, said: “We’ve seen a marginal increase in unemployment. But with employment still rising and the unemployment rate at an 11-year low, the overall picture is resilient.”

Strom wird teurer - aber regional unterschiedlich Hamburg - Die Haushalte in Deutschland müssen im kommenden Jahr flächendeckend mit höheren Strompreisen rechnen. Die Erhöhungen werden jedoch regional sehr unterschiedlich ausfallen. Die Haushalte in Deutschland müssen im kommenden Jahr flächendeckend mit höheren Strompreisen rechnen. Die Erhöhungen werden jedoch regional sehr unterschiedlich ausfallen. Das ergaben Vergleiche der Internet-Portale Verivox und Check24. Danach steigen die Netzentgelte zum Beispiel in Frankfurt um deutlich mehr als 20 Prozent, in Braunschweig und Hannover um mehr als 15 Prozent. Auf der anderen Seite gibt es auch Städte und Regionen, in denen die Netzentgelte fallen, zum Beispiel in Köln, Bonn oder Augsburg um bis zu sieben Prozent. Alle Verbraucher müssen jedoch die erhöhte Umlage für erneuerbare Energie (EEG-Umlage) zahlen, die von 6,354 auf 6,88 Cent je Kilowattstunde steigt. Damit werden eventuelle Rückgänge bei den Netzkosten mehr als ausgeglichen. Auf die Netzentgelte kommen noch 19 Prozent Mehrwertsteuer. Auf der Entlastungsseite stehen geringere Beschaffungskosten. Verivox hat auf der Grundlage der bislang bekannten Daten eine Steigerung der Verbraucherpreise für Strom um durchschnittlich 1,1 Prozent prognostiziert. Ohne die sinkenden Börsenpreise betrüge der Anstieg vier Prozent. Die Strompreise könnten nach einem leichten Rückgang im Vorjahr somit wieder ein neues Rekordniveau erreichen.

The National Weather Service in Boulder has issued a red flag warning in the Denver metro area because of low relative humidity, warm temperatures and brisk winds. The red flag warning, which indicates high fire danger, begins at 9 a.m. for the mountains, foothills and plains of northeast Colorado, according to the NWS. Relative humidity will be as low as 13 percent and winds can gust up to 38 mph, the NWS says. Steady winds out of the west and northwest will be between 20 and 25 on Tuesday afternoon, the NWS predicts. The high temperature will be about 75 degrees, which is above normal for this time of year, but 11 degrees below Sunday’s high. The 86-degree mark on Sunday was just 3 degrees below the record for Denver. Tuesday night, winds will gust up to 39 mph. Temperatures will drop to a high of around 65 on Tuesday and 58 on Wednesday, the NWS says. There is a 20 percent chance of rain on Tuesday night. On Wednesday night, the low temperature is expected to drop to below freezing at 31 degrees. It gets warmer and mostly sunny over the remainder of the week with a high of 64 on Thursday, 74 on Friday and 75 on Saturday, the NWS predicts. It will be sunny with a high of around 72 on Sunday, the NWS says.

http://www.edmontonsun.com/2016/10/20/oilers-video-pays-tribute-to-players-their-city-and-diehard-fans

Jordan Eberle sits alone, watching the sun set over the river valley from the concrete pillars known as End of the World. A convenience store clerk watches an Oilers game on a TV behind a counter. Connor McDavid shoots puck after puck at a net in an inner-city rink. A pack of fans, clad in Oilers jerseys, march past a downtown parkade. These are a few of the standout images from the Oilers’ new opening video, shot by Edmonton director Michael Maxxis, and played on the giant scoreboard before every home game at Rogers Place. Mobile users click here to watch the video. The 195-second clip is rugged, unabashed and exhilarating — a testament to the Oilers, the game they play, the city they live in, and their diehard followers. Shots of McDavid and his teammates, on and off the ice, are interspersed with local landmarks and fans, playing ball hockey, riding dirt bikes, waving flags and cheering for their team.  “A universal code instilled upon generations — loyalty and courage, patience, balance,” reads a narrator, brimming with pride and firing up viewers for the game ahead. “Stories of champions alive within us, igniting our hearts and enlightening our souls.” Jittery strings and heart-pounding percussion, composed by Jimmy Gnecco, slowly swirl in the background. “It’s sort of an esoteric view of the game and its importance,” says Maxxis, an award-winning music director (Billy Talent, Elle King, City and Colour, k-os, Hollerado, Ours). It’s also a love letter to Edmonton — and his attempt to capture the heart and soul of his hometown. “I really care about its success, its growth, its reputation and perception around the world,” he says. “I do believe in the city and its people. It’s just rarely filmed well. Most people who shoot Edmonton usually fail miserably to capture any sense of the city’s fabric, in my opinion. It’s an honest, hardworking city and, a lot of times, Edmonton seems embarrassed of its true character. “A lot of people who film it or photograph it are trying to show it for something that it’s not. I told (the Oilers) that the last thing I was going to do was try to make it look like we have a Manhattan skyline from across the river. I wanted to show the working-class neighbourhoods, the variety of buildings, the train yard, the refineries and, more than anything, what the people look like. “There’s a grit and an edge to the people here, and a style and a personality. By grit and edge, I mean there’s an integrity, a loyalty and a commitment to their character. That was experienced first-hand by the support I got in the community — people who were in the video, who donated props and wardrobe, even United Cycle, who provided tons of Oilers merchandise for people to wear and hockey gear. It’s indicative of the spirit of the city and the people in it, so I wanted to do it justice.” His eye-catching video, a mélange of game footage and his own edgy style, debuted at the Oilers’ season opener and is also racking up eyeballs — and enthusiasm — via YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. “You have really put together something special for Edmonton Oilers and #yeg,” tweeted Gord King. “I’ve watched this about a dozen now times and I get chills every time. Amazing work!” posted Carmen Chinery, an Oilers fan based in Calgary. “Brilliant. Edmonton director Michael Maxxis does it again,” tweeted hockey pundit Robin Brownlee. Maxxis, who co-owns El Cortez and Have Mercy restaurants, jumped at the opportunity to direct the Oilers video. A lifelong fan — he once painted a Curtis Joseph mural on the wall of his junior high school — the team is his connection to Edmonton when he’s working on videos in various corners of the globe. “I’ll be in India or China or Europe, waking up at four in the morning to stream the game or trying to find bars the night before shoots that would have the game. Maybe because I’m travelling constantly, Edmonton’s hockey team is comforting to me; it reminds me of home. It gives me an escape. It’s something that isn’t film and all the pressure that goes along with a shoot.”  Not that this Oilers shoot was without pressure. First, Maxxis had to come up with a team-approved list of scenes. (His idea of a player getting his teeth knocked out and then operated on by a doctor was nixed as a little too graphic.) “I would lie down on the floor of my office and listen to Radiohead’s Street Spirit (Fade Out). It’s a surreal song that has something magical to it and awakens me creatively.” Then, when it came to bringing the scenes to life, he only had access to each Oiler for an hour or less on different days, and had to wait until some players, such as McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Leon Draisaitl, returned from the World Cup of Hockey.  For the video, Maxxis shot most of the featured Oilers away from the rink, often capturing them in unguarded moments. (The majority of on-ice scenes are taken from game footage.) Matt Hendricks hovers in the darkness, holding his daughter in his arms. Benoit Pouliot stands in a shower, letting water pour over his head and shoulders as (fake) blood runs down the drain. Darnell Nurse scrunches up his mouth as he runs through a train yard. Milan Lucic looks off into the distance as he strolls across the High Level Bridge.  Maxxis is grateful for the experience and says he’s even more impressed by the Oilers. “They’re all very calm and in-the-moment guys to be around. Conversational, easygoing, patient, generous with their time, kind with the crew. To know that they can transition to an intense, primal, physical human being is incredible. These are guys at the highest level of success and they’re only there because they work harder than anybody that isn’t there. “I just have a whole new respect for them and the qualities and the characteristics that they possess are the qualities and the characteristics that it takes for a city, a country, a family, and people to succeed in what they’re doing. I wanted to show those parallels. The grit, honesty, the hard work, all those things that go into making a great city are the same things that go into making a great athlete.” [email protected] twitter.com/Sperounes

Wedeler Familiendrama: Frauenleiche gefunden Wedel/Hamburg - Nach dem Familiendrama von Wedel bei Hamburg haben die Ermittler am Dienstag eine weitere Leiche entdeckt - vergraben in einem Gebüsch direkt hinter dem Bungalow der vierköpfigen Familie. Nach dem Familiendrama von Wedel bei Hamburg haben die Ermittler am Dienstag eine weitere Leiche entdeckt - vergraben in einem Gebüsch direkt hinter dem Bungalow der vierköpfigen Familie. Ob es sich bei der Toten um die Mutter der zwei getöteten Kleinkinder handelt, hestätigte die Polizei noch nicht. Die Leiche sei noch nicht identifiziert, ergänzte eine Polizeisprecherin. Das fünfjährige Mädchen und sein zwei Jahre alter Bruder sind nach dem Ergebnis der Obduktion ertränkt worden - vermutlich am vergangenen Samstag. In der Rechtsmedizin soll nun geklärt werden, ob es sich bei der Leiche um die Mutter handelt. Dies liege nahe, aber gesichert sei es nicht, sagte die Sprecherin. Auch muss noch festgestellt werden, wie die Frau ums Leben kam und wer für ihren Tod verantwortlich ist. Die Polizei geht davon aus, dass der Vater das Geschwisterpaar getötet hat. Der 49-Jährige hatte sich am Sonntagmorgen umgebracht. «Hintergrund der grausamen Tat dürften familiäre Probleme gewesen sein», hieß es in einer Mitteilung der Beamten. Die Ermittler hatten die 37-jährige, aus Bolivien stammende Mutter seit Sonntag unter Hochdruck gesucht. «Unser Ansätze waren am Dienstagmorgen noch recht dürftig», erläuterte die Polizeisprecherin vor Fernsehteams, die sich erneut vor dem Wohnhaus eingefunden hatten. Die Suche habe sich in alle Richtungen erstreckt. «Das Naheliegendste war das Grundstück.» Haus und Garten wurden von den Ermittlern nochmals durchkämmt. Dabei ging es hinter dem Bretterzaun des Grundstücks auch in ein Gebüsch aus Sträuchern und Bäumen. «Es war ersichtlich, dass dort das Erdreich gelockert war. Es sah so aus, als hätte dort jemand gearbeitet», so die Beamtin. Die Ermittler entdeckten zur Mittagszeit die Frauenleiche. Später fuhr ein Leichenwagen vor. Am Sonntag hätten sich die Beamten bei der Spurensuche auf Haus und Garten konzentriert, ergänzte die Sprecherin. «Das war erste Priorität.» Die Leiche sei jetzt außerhalb des Grundstücks gefunden worden. «Wir sind froh, dass wir das jetzt so schnell haben klären können.» Doch die Erschütterung über den Fall bleibt. Auf der Hausmauer vor dem Bungalow wurden Blumen abgelegt und Kerzen aufgestellt - Wedel trauert.

Thursday October 20, 2016 Jump to content Photo by Dennis Pirch. By Dennis Pirch As of Tuesday, October 18, 2016 Advertisement As much as I loved teaching and coaching, being retired does have its benefits. There is a liberty that allows me to say yes, rather spontaneously when needs arise within the family or with friends. That is exactly what happened last month when my oldest son, who is a professional bass fisherman, had some real scheduling issues where travel deadlines were going to be hard to meet in addition to being at the top of his game for competition. I was glad to make a cross-country trip with the “rig” where I could meet Clifford at O’Hare airport in Chicago after his business responsibilities with fishing. When the public watches the tour bass pros on ESPN or other outdoor network television, it appears to be an attractive way of making a living with the excitement and “hoopla” portrayed in a one-hour program. Well, there is so much more behind the scenes that is never seen by the viewing audience, which can be a true marathon of work. The most pressing issue is driving across the country from one venue and having to be at another tournament hours away a day later. In the last four years, I have volunteered to drive and share the behind-the-wheel hours with a longtime friend, Kirk Russell, when these scheduling nightmares arise. Kirk is an avid bass fisherman who is also retired from regular work and has the freedom to make these across the USA trips. We know the interstates well, with destinations as far away as upstate New York on the St. Lawrence River or Atlanta, Ga. in the Deep South. Many of these pros have to maneuver the freeways to get to the next tournament site, then spend six days fishing to secure a check and valuable Bassmaster Classic points, then turn around and do it again or return home. Someone to assist in the driving ordeal is a big help as the season winds down. Kirk and I have enjoyed the travel across this great nation even though time and destination deadlines are paramount when pulling the bass rig from state to state. The other part of our duties are to keep everything in good working order on the aging Dodge Ram as well as keeping the rig sparkling clean so those sponsor names and insignias can be seen clearly. Every truck and tire cleaner is well used daily during a trip so when that rig goes down the road it becomes an advertising billboard from coast to coast. Upon arriving at the tournament site, home becomes a rental cottage or house often shared by other anglers so that costs can be minimized. A kitchen can be a real money saver if someone can cook. When these pros are practicing, they leave before sunrise and fish until the last light of day in hopes of finding the right fish. The drivers are now the cooks and our job is to have that meal ready when they step in the door after dark. This is far more convenient than going to a restaurant in addition to saving money. Then, it is to bed only to start again the next morning at 4:30 a.m. During the week-long event, the service area becomes a bustle of activity with boat, engine, and electronic technicians solving problems and making repairs for the 107 Bassmaster Elite tour anglers. These technicians are the best in their field with the top priority of “doing it right the first time” and getting these professional anglers back on the water. Time is money to everyone involved. On this trip, Kirk and I spent most of the day in the service area because the boat trailer had a wiring issue that made the lights fail. The service crew for Skeeter completely rewired the trailer in short order and had us on our way within an hour and a half. When the tournament began, we had enough free time to try our luck at some recreational fishing in some of the best waters in the country for a variety of panfish, which are delicious table fare. On many evenings fried fish fillets became a part of the main course and we even caught enough to bring a few home. After the second tournament everyone is anxious to be on the road homeward bound. Now, with three drivers the nonstop 28-hour trip from northern Minnesota was a doable ordeal. As Dorothy in the classic movie, The Wizard of Oz said, “There’s no place like home.” When we made the descent off the Mogollon Rim on Highway 260 and saw the vastness of the Tonto National Forest, we finally felt we were home after 17 days on the road. There are so many special places throughout our great nation, but the Rim Country is hard to beat. Enjoy the vastness of the Arizona wilderness, God’s creation.

http://www.denverpost.com/2016/10/17/nederland-police-station-bomb-case-arrest/

By Sadie Gurman and Eric Tucker, Associated Press DENVER — Authorities have arrested a man in connection with a homemade explosive left outside a police station in a small northern Colorado mountain town. A man was taken into custody over the weekend in connection with the Oct. 11 incident in Nederland, two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the case. A detective found the device in a backpack and brought it into the police station, believing it was lost property. Robots searched the device and it was eventually detonated in the parking lot of the town’s main retail complex, a strip mall that houses the five-officer police department. Investigators say it was an active explosive that failed to detonate. It was not immediately clear what charges the man would face. U.S. attorney spokesman Jeff Dorschner declined to comment. The case rattled this mountain-ringed town of 1,500 people southwest of Boulder best known for its love of legal marijuana and its annual celebration of a frozen corpse that draws tens of thousands of revelers.

«Kleine Drucksituation»: Aber Ancelotti bleibt sich treu München - Krise? «Dafür ist es zu früh», verkündete Carlo Ancelotti. Der Italiener besitzt als Trainer nach über 20 Jahren in den größten Fußballvereinen Europas die Gabe, auch in angespannten Momenten wie aktuell beim FC Bayern München nicht in Aktionismus zu verfallen. Krise? «Dafür ist es zu früh», verkündete Carlo Ancelotti. Der Italiener besitzt als Trainer nach über 20 Jahren in den größten Fußballvereinen Europas die Gabe, auch in angespannten Momenten wie aktuell beim FC Bayern München nicht in Aktionismus zu verfallen. «Ich muss mir selbst treu bleiben», lautete darum auch Ancelottis Kernaussage vor dem plötzlich so extrem wichtigen Gruppenspiel am Mittwochabend (20.45 Uhr) in der Champions League gegen PSV Eindhoven. «Es ist mein Job, ruhig zu bleiben und Lösungen zu finden mit meinen Spielern», erklärte Ancelotti an seinem 100. Tag beim deutschen Rekordmeister auf dem Pressepodium der Münchner Arena. Vertrauen ist sein Lösungsansatz: «Die Spieler hier sind sehr professionell, sehr intelligent.» Drei Spiele ohne Sieg und der lautstarke Warnruf von Bayern-Chef Karl-Heinz Rummenigge haben die Münchner Stars aufgerüttelt. «Wir haben schon eine kleine Drucksituation», verkündete Nationalspieler Mats Hummels nach dem geheimen Abschlusstraining, das überraschend auch der angeschlagene Arturo Vidal mitmachte. Nur Franck Ribéry (Oberschenkel) fällt gegen Eindhoven definitiv aus. Die Mannschaft sieht die Bringschuld bei sich und nicht bei ihrem Trainer, über dessen menschliche Art plötzlich viel diskutiert wird. «Es ist ein Spielerding, dass wir nicht die Leistung gezeigt haben», sagte Hummels. Im Training sei «ein ganz anderes Feuer» zu spüren gewesen, berichtete der Weltmeister. Das stimme ihn zuversichtlich: «Ich bin ganz guter Dinge, dass wir gegen Eindhoven das richtige Gesicht an den Tag legen.» Dominant, top motiviert, gierig nach Toren und dem 14. Heimsieg nacheinander in der Champions League. «Er ist lieb und nett - aber nicht immer», berichtete Hummels über Ancelotti: «Es ist nicht so, dass er sagt, alles locker, alles okay.» Sichtbares Zeichen dafür war, dass die Spieler erstmals in Ancelottis Münchner Amtszeit die Nacht vor einem Heimspiel im Hotel verbringen sollten. «Es ist hilfreich, die Sinne zu schärfen», sagte Hummels zu der Maßnahme, die der Trainer selbst nicht überbewerten mochte: «Ich habe schon vor der Saison gesagt, dass es vor besonderen Spielen ins Hotel geht. Und am Mittwoch ist es ein besonderes Spiel.» In der Tat. Bayern-Boss Rummenigge hatte nach dem 2:2 in Frankfurt «eine andere Gangart» befohlen. Die erwartet auch der Trainer. «Wir haben gelernt, dass wir ohne Intensität, ohne Ordnung nicht gewinnen können», sagte Ancelotti. Von Strafaktionen gegen seine Spieler hält er aber nichts. Der von ihm spontan angekündigte große Startelfumbau fällt aus: «Wir müssen die Einstellung wechseln, nicht die Spieler.» Robert Lewandowski wird nach überstandenen Wadenproblemen wieder von Beginn an stürmen. «Wir haben nur drei Punkte im Kopf», versprach der Torjäger den Bayern-Anhängern. Beim angeschlagenen Kämpfer Vidal will Ancelotti kein Risiko eingehen: «Wir haben gute Mittelfeldspieler.» Das gilt aktuell besonders für Jungstar Joshua Kimmich. Die Spieler hätten untereinander viel diskutiert und analysiert, verriet Hummels. Die interne Vorgabe laute, wieder «ans Leistungsmaximum zu gehen». Unterschätzen sollten Hummels und Co. den Gegner nicht. Der 23-malige niederländische Meister mit den früheren Bundesligaprofis Daniel Schwaab, der zuletzt mit dem VfB Stuttgart abgestiegen war, Luuk de Jong (Gladbach) und Andres Guardado (Leverkusen) scheiterte in der vergangenen Saison im Achtelfinale denkbar knapp im Elfmeterschießen an Atlético Madrid, Bayerns Halbfinal-Bezwinger. «PSV ist ein sehr gutes Team, gut organisiert», mahnte Ancelotti. Das aktuelle Problem von Eindhoven, das mit einem Punkt in Gruppe D hinter den Bayern (3) Platz drei rangiert, ist das Toreschießen. «Ich wünsche es ihnen von Herzen, dass es so bleibt», sagte Hummels schmunzelnd. Voraussichtliche Aufstellungen: Bayern München: Neuer - Lahm, Boateng, Hummels, Alaba - Xabi Alonso - Kimmich, Thiago - Robben, Lewandowski, Müller PSV Eindhoven: Zoet - Schwaab, Isimat-Merin, Moreno - Brenet, Pröpper, Guardado, Siem de Jong, Willems - Luuk de Jong, Narsingh Schiedsrichter: Collum (Schottland)

Two Democratic political operatives are no longer working with Hillary Clinton’s campaign, after a video showed some describing how to incite Donald Trump supporters to violence outside of the Republican nominee’s rallies. Robert Creamer, whose group was contracted by the Democratic National Committee to stage protests outside Trump events, said Tuesday he had ended his contract after the video, secretly filmed by conservative activist James O’Keefe, was released. Creamer, who is married to Illinois Rep. Jan Schakowsky, was one of multiple Democratic strategists the video showed, allegedly discussing how to provoke violence from Trump supporters. Another contractor in the video – Scott Foval, a national field director of Americans United for Change – was let go from his job after the footage was published. "I am unwilling to become a distraction to the important task of electing Hilary Clinton, and defeating Donald Trump in the upcoming election," Creamer said in a statement provided to CNN. "As a result I have indicated to the Democratic National Committee that I am stepping back from my responsibilities working with the campaign." "We regret the unprofessional and careless hypothetical conversations that were captured on hidden cameras of a regional contractor for our firm, and he is no longer working with us," he said, adding that “none of the schemes described in the conversations [ever] took place.” The 16-minute-long video showed edited clips of multiple Democratic operatives allegedly discussing how to provoke violence from Trump supporters. Foval, who was featured prominently, is recorded claiming that he arranged for some people, some of whom were mentally ill, to participate, the Associated Press reported. "I mean, honestly, it's not hard to get some of these a--holes to pop off," Foval allegedly said in the video. "It's a matter of showing up, to want to get into their rally, in a Planned Parenthood T-shirt. Or 'Trump is a Nazi,' you know. You can message to draw them out, and draw them out to punch you." Foval told the Associated Press that he had been set up by O’Keefe’s group Project Veritas. "This scheme to cast legitimate organizing activities as a sinister plot is nothing but a ruse," he said, adding, "O'Keefe's crew of impostors continued to walk down a path of deception and manipulation." Project Veritas is known for undercover stings against Democratic groups, and previously targeted the community organizing group ACORN, according to the Associated Press. O’Keefe pled guilty in 2010 to attempting to secretly record in former Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu’s office. After Creamer’s resignation and Foval’s firing, Clinton’s campaign disavowed the described tactics Wednesday. Campaign spokesman Zac Petkanas said "some of the language and tactics referenced in the video are troubling even as a theory or proposal never executed,” and deputy communications director Kristina Schake told CNN “this isn’t something we would ever support.” “It’s important to point out that when the GOP convention was taking place in Cleveland, there were lots of reports there were going to be protests and unrest,” Schake added. “We encouraged our supporters not to participate in any way in those protests and actually to spend their time out there registering voters.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Starting Monday, a three-mile stretch of U.S. 34 through the Big Thompson Canyon will be closed through May 2017 between Loveland and Estes Park so necessary repairs can be made to the road after the 2013 flood. The work is designed to make the highway, which was damaged by both the 2013 and 1976 floods, more resilient to future flooding. Colorado Department of Transportation officials urge travelers to use U.S. 287 and U.S. 36 as detour routes. For updated information on the repair work, visit us34canyon.cdot.gov.

Singapur. Für die Krönung ihres imposanten Tennis-Jahres braucht Angelique Kerber gar nicht mehr zum Schläger zu greifen. Die verletzungsbedingte Absage von Serena Williams für die WTA Finals sorgt dafür, dass Kerber die beste Saison ihrer Karriere auch als Nummer eins der Welt beenden wird. Beim Jahresabschluss in Singapur kann keine Spielerinnen mehr so viele Punkte sammeln, um der Kielerin gefährlich zu werden. Letztmals hatte vor 20 Jahren Steffi Graf ein Jahr als beste Spielerin der Welt beendet. "Es war ein gutes Jahr auf der Tour, wenn du es hier in Singapur beenden kannst", schrieb Kerber bei Twitter zu einem Foto, auf dem sie auf dem Centre Court über dem Schriftzug des asiatischen Inselstaates sitzt. Serena Williams, mit der sie sich in diesem Jahr im Finale von Melbourne und im Endspiel von Wimbledon packende Duelle geliefert hatte, wünschte Kerber über das Soziale Netzwerk alles Gute. "Ich wünsche Serena eine schnelle Genesung und freue mich darauf, @serenawilliams 2017 zurück auf der Tour zu sehen." Williams erklärte, sie habe schlechte Nachrichten von ihrem Arzt bekommen. Ihre schon länger verletzte Schulter müsse weiter behandelt werden, sagte die 35-Jährige in einer am Montag veröffentlichten Videobotschaft. "Ich werde in den kommenden Wochen nicht spielen können", sagte Williams, die damit die letzte theoretische Chance einbüßte, Kerber zum Jahresende wieder als Nummer eins der Welt abzulösen. Wegen ihrer Verletzungsprobleme spielte die Weltranglistenzweite in diesem Jahr nur bei lediglich acht Turnieren. Williams hatte zuletzt bereits die Veranstaltungen in Asien wegen der Blessur verpasst und auch im Sommer schon Beschwerden. Die WTA-Finals in Singapur beginnen am Sonntag. Neben Kerber starten diesmal die Weltranglisten-Dritte und Vorjahressiegerin Agnieszka Radwanska, Simona Halep, Karolina Pliskova, Garbiñe Muguruza, Madison Keys und Dominika Cibulkova. Die letzte Teilnehmerin ist noch offen. "Wir sind enttäuscht, dass die Fans Serena nicht in Singapur sehen werden", sagte WTA-Boss Steve Simon. "Wir wünschen ihr eine schnelle Genesung." Die 22-fache Grand-Slam-Gewinnerin hatte die WTA-Finals zuletzt 2014 gewonnen. Kerber bereitet sich seit Montag in Singapur auf ihren letzten sportlichen Auftritt in diesem Jahr fort. Seit ihrem Triumph in New York kämpft die Linkshänderin ebenfalls mit Schulterproblemen und vor allem großer Müdigkeit. Bei den WTA Finals will sie dennoch noch einmal alles geben und erstmals die Gruppenphase überstehen. Danach steht erst einmal Urlaub an. Und diesen wird sie nun definitiv als Nummer eins der Welt antreten. dpa

France warned Britain at the start of a European Union summit on Thursday that it would face a tough, unyielding opponent if it sought too many concessions during its negotiations to leave the 28-nation EU. British Prime Minister Theresa May, who was attending her first EU summit as leader, was expected to brief her European counterparts on the way ahead for Britain's exit from the trade bloc. Many uncertainties about the divorce remain because Britain has yet to trigger the two-year negotiations for "Brexit" — and is unlikely to do so until the end of March. "It's in the interests of the U.K. and the EU that we continue to work closely together, including at this summit," May said. French President Francois Hollande immediately insisted that the EU would not surrender the bloc's core values just to keep Britain close as a future ally. "I have said so very firmly: Mrs. Theresa May wants a hard Brexit? The negotiations will be hard," Holland said. Britain's June 23 breakup referendum has forced the 27 other nations to plot their future without a major but often recalcitrant member state. European leaders have grumbled that Britain's tardiness in starting the negotiations slow down their own planning for the next few years. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the other leaders would underscore the urgency and would "make clear again: We are waiting for the notification from Britain." The Brexit referendum to leave the EU was a milestone in the history of the bloc and the disentanglement is expected to be long, difficult and confrontational. Still, EU President Donald Tusk, who chairs the summit, assured the British leader she would not get too hostile a reception. Tusk said that some compared it to "entering the lion's den. It's not true. It's more like a nest of doves. She'll be absolutely safe with us. And I hope that she will also realize that the European Union is simply the best company in the world." May said Britain would continue to be a responsible member right up to the day it leaves the EU. "I'm here with a very clear message. The U.K. is leaving the EU but we will continue to play a full role until we leave." Like Hollande, Tusk vowed last week not to compromise on the bloc's principles in negotiating Britain's departure and warned that London is heading for a hard exit. He insisted that Britain can't hope to both stay in Europe's single market and restrict the movement of EU migrants, saying there would be no compromises. May has appeared to signal that her government would prioritize controls on immigration over access to the European single market, an approach informally called a "hard Brexit." Once May activates the exit clause — Article 50 in the EU's governing Lisbon Treaty — negotiations on the terms of Britain's departure would run for two years. The time frame could be extended, but only if the 27 remaining member states agree unanimously.

http://www.denverpost.com/2016/10/17/nba-guidelines-basketball-before-14/

By Brian Mahoney, The Associated Press NEW YORK — The best thing young players can do for their basketball careers is not play too much basketball. They should participate in other sports and delay specializing in just basketball until they are at least 14 years old. They should also take at least one day off from organized competition each week and extended time off at least once a year for proper physical and mental recovery. Those were among the guidelines announced Monday by the NBA and USA Basketball to begin Jr. NBA Week. The Jr. NBA is the league’s youth basketball participation program for boys and girls ages 6-14. The research and recommendations come from panels of medical experts, former players, and coaches and administrators throughout basketball. They found that athletes who have the most success played multiple sports at a young age and didn’t focus on a specific one until late adolescence. “The idea of sampling and participating in other sports does not mean you’re getting behind,” said Dr. John DiFiori, NBA director of sports medicine and UCLA team physician. “They actually provide a strong foundation for success in your sport.” LeBron James, perhaps the NBA’s best player, played football through his junior year of high school. But those who focus on basketball too soon face some risks that can last well beyond their teen years. “There’s a concern that single sport specialization may contribute to injuries and may also contribute to basically loss of interest in the sport from sort of the repetition of incessant participation in one activity,” DiFiori said, adding there are cases of young athletes developing overuse injuries specific to a certain sport. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has made player health one of his biggest concerns, working to create a schedule that allows more time for rest and recovery. The league went further earlier this year by looking into the youth levels. Working groups were created in the areas of health and wellness, playing standards, and curriculum and instruction. Their guidelines stressed the importance of time away from the court, with recommendations on amount of practice and game time, and even amount of sleep. “I think sometimes parents and coaches can forget that there are only so many hours in the day and that when you have someone who’s going to high school and they’re at school from 8 o’clock to 2 o’clock, or to 3 o’clock and then they’re at practice for a couple of hours and they need time to study, they need time to eat, they need time to commute back and forth to school and practices, they need time to sleep,” DiFiori said. “They need time to recover and it’s important that people actually look at that and realize that you can’t pack everything into one day and still necessarily have a healthy situation.” The guidelines suggest limiting “high-density competition,” such as tournaments that feature multiple games in a short period of time. DiFiori noted the guidelines apply only to organized competition, saying that individual practice time or pickup games are beneficial. They have been endorsed by numerous youth organizations, athletic apparel companies and supported by the NCAA. “We’re sending a message to families, young athletes, coaches about rethinking how we do things at the youth level,” he said.

The debates may be over, but the election is not — and talk of concession may seem a little premature. Yet chatter about gracious hand-offs and yielding to opponents was all over social media Wednesday night as the nominee for a major U.S. political party refused to commit to accepting the results of the U.S. presidential election. "I will keep you in suspense," said Donald Trump, seeming to forget this was a presidential debate and not a reality television show. People passed around an image of the classy letter George H.W. Bush left for Bill Clinton after his 1992 loss. Others pointed to John McCain's wish for President Barack Obama, "the man who was my former opponent and will be my president." Some criticized how Al Gore handled the election results in 2000 while others quoted from his memorable speech. "Almost a century and a half ago, Senator Stephen Douglas told Abraham Lincoln, who had just defeated him for the presidency, 'Partisan feeling must yield to patriotism. I'm with you, Mr. President, and God bless you,' " Gore said. But as we await a concession speech to end this dark and ugly 2016 campaign, it seems good for our collective souls to look back on what has often been called the best of the bunch. Democrat Adlai Stevenson's 1952 remarks after losing to Dwight D. Eisenhower have been called the "granddaddy of all concession speeches," even "perfection itself" by the New Yorker's Hendrik Hertzberg, who called Stevenson "the most beautiful loser." It is traditionally American to fight hard before an election. It is equally traditional to close ranks as soon as the people have spoken. Adlai Stevenson, in concession speech Scott Farris, the author of "Almost President: The Men who Lost the Race but Changed the Nation," wrote in the Washington Post in 2011 that "few inspired so many as the witty and urbane" Stevenson, noting that historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. "went so far as to assert that the Kennedy presidency would not have been possible had Stevenson not changed the tone of Democratic politics so that eloquence and intellect were considered important presidential virtues." So what did Stevenson say? "It is traditionally American to fight hard before an election. It is equally traditional to close ranks as soon as the people have spoken," he said in the brief but poignant speech. Stevenson thanked his supporters before continuing. "That which unites us as American citizens is far greater than that which divides us as political parties. I urge you all to give to Gen. Eisenhower the support he will need to carry out the great task that lie before him. I pledge him mine. We vote as many. But we pray as one." Before reading the telegram he sent Eisenhower, he went on. "With a united people, with faith in democracy, with common concern for others less fortunate around the globe, we shall move forward with God's guidance toward the time when his children shall grow in freedom and dignity in a world at peace." One of the most famous lines was really not his own, but another one that referenced Lincoln. "Someone asked me as I came in down on the street how I felt. And I was reminded of a story that a fellow townsman of ours used to tell—Abraham Lincoln. They asked him how he felt once after an unsuccessful election. He said he felt like a little boy who had stubbed his toe in the dark. That he was too old to cry, but it hurt too much to laugh."
