Why Vanek to the Flyers wouldn't have worked

Why Vanek to the Flyers wouldn't have worked

It didn’t take long to wake up and perform some Monday-morning general managing following the glacier-melting hockey headline that the Sabres had traded highly skilled winger Thomas Vanek. In exchange, the Islanders sent a first-round pick, a second-round pick and 30-year-old forward Matt Moulson packing to Buffalo.

After absorbing the news for a few days, you may have come to the realization that the Flyers could have easily acquired what the Islanders had lured away from the Sabres. Even if general manager Paul Holmgren had genuine interest in Vanek’s services, a blockbuster wouldn’t have made sense, and here’s why:

1. Are the Flyers even a playoff team?
Anytime you mortgage a portion of your future for a superstar-caliber player like Vanek, you better have a definitive "yes" answer to this question. Right now, the Flyers can’t honestly say that. They may feel like one with the players they’ve assembled, but they’re in a transitional period after firing Peter Laviolette three games into the season. If the Flyers were winning in spite of their lack of scoring, then a Vanek deal would have been feasible.

2. The salary cap
Unfortunately for the Flyers and a handful of other NHL teams, whatever you import in cap dollars you also have to export. Vanek comes attached with a $7.1 million cap hit, so essentially the Flyers would have had to ship that same cap amount to Buffalo. Since the Sabres have disclosed their intentions of rebuilding, GM Darcy Regier is looking to trim his payroll, not add to it. Acquiring Moulson saves the Sabres roughly $2.5 million. Certainly, the Flyers could have packaged players to cover Vanek’s cap hit, but they still would have to unload draft picks, and that’s too lopsided a trade even for the Flyers.

3. Vanek is an impending UFA
Let’s say the Sabres requested a young player like Sean Couturier or Brayden Schenn in return. Is it worth moving one of these guys for just one season of Vanek, who will command a free-agent price tag in the $8 million range at the end of the season? Not at all.

4. Flyers don't need another long-term contract
Assume Holmgren wouldn't have negotiated a trade unless Vanek agreed to stay in Philadelphia long-term. It’s still not worth it. The Flyers already have 15 players on next season’s payroll totaling $56 million (current cap is $64 million), and that’s without a goaltender under contract. Squeezing Vanek into the Flyers' 2014-15 cap would have been nearly impossible, even for one of those contortionists who perform at halftime of an NBA game.

5. The core has to perform
If the Flyers' current roster can’t consistently score goals, there’s nothing Vanek could have done to remedy that problem either. Claude Giroux, Scott Hartnell, Jakub Voracek and other cast members have to start elevating their games and, more importantly, scoring goals. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter who you bring in from the outside.

Flyers-Rangers preseason observations: Travis Sanheim's push to make team heats up

Flyers-Rangers preseason observations: Travis Sanheim's push to make team heats up

NEW YORK — Dave Hakstol conducted some garden variety experimentation Monday night against the Rangers, by moving Claude Giroux to left wing for the first time in his Flyers career.

"It's definitely a change but you know I'm just trying to be in good position and make the right play," Giroux said. "Slowly, I'm feeling more comfortable."
The line combination of Giroux, Sean Couturier and Jakub Voracek failed to generate a point, but it was the play of rookie Travis Sanheim that took center stage off Broadway.

Sanheim notched a pair of goals, but the Flyers fell, 3-2, in overtime at Madison Square Garden. Ryan McDonagh scored the game-winner for New York in the 3-on-3 OT.

"It's really high right now," Sanheim said of his confidence. "Obviously, I don't want it to get too high. I just have to try and keep an even-keel here and finish up strong."

Sanheim has now scored the Flyers' last three goals of the preseason.

• For the fourth time in five preseason games, the Flyers went to overtime. The Rangers finished the job Monday, as the captain McDonagh collected his own rebound and pushed the puck past Michal Neuvirth for the game-winner with 1:09 remaining in OT.

• New York scored on its first shot on net, when Rick Nash deflected McDonagh's shot from the point to give the Rangers a 1-0 lead just 3:16 into the game.

• Sanheim tallied his first just 2:23 after the Rangers' first goal. The defenseman ripped a rocket past Henrik Lundqvist from the top of the left circle. It was his team-leading second of the preseason with assists from Jordan Weal and Nolan Patrick, who picked up his second assist in four preseason games.

• Sanheim added his second goal in the final moments of the second period, when he pinched behind the Rangers' defense and corralled Radko Gudas' shot from the point and backhanded it past Lundqvist with four seconds remaining in the period.

"I'm just trying to play my game,” Sanheim said. “All along I play that offensive side. I'm just trying to keep it simple defensively and trying to make smart plays and make good reads to get in the play and it's been working so far."

Sanheim has continued to make significant strides and show improvement throughout the preseason, and his offensive upside has to give Hakstol some serious consideration to how he wants his defense to look when the regular season begins. There have been few lapses defensively since the preseason opener against the New York Islanders.

• The Rangers tied the game at 2-2 when Neuvirth knocked away Mika Zibanejad’s wrist shot with his blocker, but the rebound hit Robert Hagg, deflected off Neuvirth and just over the line for a goal.

• The Flyers' power play continues to work out the kinks. The team worked on the PP structure for the first time over the weekend. That unit is now 0 for 14 over the last two games. The Flyers finished Monday’s game 0 for 5.

• Scott Laughton continues to be a valuable asset on the Flyers' penalty kill. Laughton broke up several passes on the Rangers' early power play of the second period.
• Gudas fell to the ice late in the first period and then appeared to be holding his hand in obvious pain. Gudas didn’t miss any time and made a pronounced statement in the third period when he unloaded an open-ice hit on Rangers center Filip Chytil. Mats Zuccarello rushed to Chytil’s defense, which resulted in a two-minute unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and a Flyers power play.

• The two teams will continue their preseason home-and-home series Tuesday night at the Wells Fargo Center as Brian Elliott is expected to play the entire game in net. Elliott turned aside all 18 shots in two periods of action last Thursday in Boston.

Future Flyers Report: Still questioning the Morgan Frost draft pick?

Future Flyers Report: Still questioning the Morgan Frost draft pick?

Welcome back to the return of the Future Flyers Report, a weekly column tracking the development of the Flyers’ prospects. This year, we’ll try some new tricks along the way.

We’re nine days out from the Flyers’ season opener, and when preseason ends, it’s expected that a few mainstays of this report from years past will graduate to the NHL. That’s OK. As the Flyers enter their youth movement, we’ll continue evaluating their first-year players with weekly reports on their progress throughout their rookie seasons.

The CHL opened its regular season last week, and international leagues have been underway since earlier this month. As hockey season returns, let’s dig into the future.

Morgan Frost, C, 5-11/172, Sault Ste. Marie (OHL)
Think back to draft night in June, when the Flyers traded Brayden Schenn to the Blues and then used the 27th overall pick on Frost. Not many knew who Frost was, and the projections had the centerman as a second-round pick. Fans reacted as such on social media, without ever seeing Frost play. I didn’t know too much about the player when the Flyers drafted him, but all the reports were positive and I immediately thought of the Travis Sanheim draft. It’s too early to say Frost will rise to that level of prospect, but he showed in development camp the hockey smarts and playmaking ability that drew the Flyers to him.

Frost had an explosive start to the season this weekend, especially Saturday night in the Greyhounds' season opener against Oshawa, a 7-4 loss. He picked up two assists in Sault Ste. Marie's loss, but his first helper was a dandy. Frost found Tim Gettinger open in the faceoff circle across the ice, through multiple defenders with a slap-pass and Gettinger finished with the goal. On Sunday night, Frost followed up with a shorthanded penalty shot for his first tally of the season.

It was exactly the type of start you'd want to see from Frost, who was sort of a riser in his draft class. It's his third season in the OHL, and you want to see a leap offensively from him. He got off to a strong start this weekend.

Felix Sandstrom, G, 24, 6-2/192, Brynäs IF (SHL)
One of the Flyers’ top goalie prospects, Sandstrom was expected to miss the start of the season because of a simple laparoscopic procedure, but the procedure was postponed. Sandstrom made his first start Thursday, stopping 29 of 32 shots in Brynäs’ 4-2 loss to HV71. With Oskar Lindblom, German Rubtsov and Mikhail Vorobyev in North America, Sandstrom is the most intriguing international prospect in the Flyers’ system. It’s a safe bet he’ll be the top-selling international flavor of this report this year.

Connor Bunnaman, C, 19, 6-1/207, Kitchener (OHL)
Before the Rangers’ first game Friday against Flint, Bunnaman was named the 53rd captain in Kitchener history, replacing Frank Hora, who is with the Phantoms on an AHL contract. Bunnaman joins Mike Richards (2003-05) and Bill Barber (1971-72) as Flyers draft picks who wore the ‘C’ with the Rangers. Paul Evans, who was drafted by the Kings but later played for the Flyers, was the Rangers’ captain in 1973-74. Bunnaman also played in his 200th career OHL game Friday night, recording three shots and no points in a 5-3 Rangers loss. He was highly effective in the Rangers’ 3-1 win over Sarnia on Saturday night with five shots on goal, his first assist and a plus-three rating.

Anthony Salinitri, C, 19, 5-11/170, Sarnia (OHL)
This is an important season for Salinitri if he wants to earn an entry-level contract with the Flyers. This will be the Flyers’ final season of holding Salinitri’s rights before having to decide to either sign him or let him go. They elected not to sign Sam Dove-McFalls this summer, and Salinitri, a 2016 sixth-round pick, is in a similar situation. There’s no guarantee the Flyers sign him, and he was cut early during training camp. With a 50-contract limit, the pressure is on Salinitri to make a major impact this year in Sarnia.

Salinitri’s 2017-18 campaign didn’t get off to a bad start, though. In his first game Friday night, the centerman scored his first goal of the season and also potted a shootout goal in the Sting’s 4-3 win over the Guelph Storm. He did lose 10 of his 13 faceoffs, however. On Saturday night, against Kitchener, Salinitri was a minus-two with two penalty minutes, two shots on goal and no points. He won two of his five faceoffs in the 3-1 loss.

Pascal Laberge, C/RW, 19, 6-1/162, Victoriaville (QMJHL)
Laberge is another prospect with an important season ahead of him. After dealing with more adversity in 2016-17, this time with concussion issues, Laberge has to put himself back in good standing within the Flyers’ organization. General manager Ron Hextall, while understanding of the situation, made it clear this summer he didn’t like the way Laberge competed at times last season. In training camp, Laberge showed he still has a lot of work to do. Still, the 2016 second-round pick still has plenty time to develop.

I would expect Laberge to have a bounce-back season. In Victoriaville’s season opener Friday night, Laberge was the top-line center. He was held pointless in the Tigres’ 2-1 win over Gatineau, registering three shots and winning 50 percent of his draws. Laberge picked up his first point of the season Sunday night, setting up Maxime Comtois' game-winning goal in the Tigres' 4-3 overtime win over Shawinigan.

Quick hits
• Rubtsov was unavailable for Chicoutimi during the Saguenéens’ opening weekend because of paperwork, according to La Presse. He should play this week.

Isaac Ratcliffe, a hulking 6-6 winger, netted a shootout goal in Guelph’s 4-3 loss to Sarnia on Friday but didn’t register any points in either of the Storm’s first two games.

David Kase, a 20-year-old European prospect who’s playing in the SHL this season, had a goal and assist with three shots in Mora IK’s 5-1 win over Rogle on Thursday.

Olle Lycksell, a 2017 sixth-round pick, has four assists in four games with the Linköping HC J20 team.

Linus Högberg, a 2016 fifth-round pick, has an assist in three games with Växjö (SHL).

Valeri Vasiliev has three assists in four games and is averaging over 17 minutes with Severstal (KHL). Vasiliev, 23, was a seventh-round pick in 2012.

• The Russian goalies: Ivan Fedotov has a 1.92 goals-against average and .905 save percentage in four games with Toros Neftekamsk (VHL). Kirill Ustimenko has a 2.00 GAA and .904 save percentage in six games with Dynamo St. Petersburg (MHL).

CSS Violinists - Joshua Chan

Joshua Chan (F5 Ca), a winner in the solo violin category of the Hong Kong stage of the Manhattan International Young Artists Music Festival Competition, is happy to receive the award and believes it is a step for him to move towards his goal of being a word-class violinist.

Joshua dreamed of becoming a soloist in violin when he was in Secondary 2. He entered CSS in the same year, after suffering excessive study pressure at his old school.

He was tired of playing violin at about 10 year-old, as he found he could not play violin well enough as of his expectation. He later picked up his interest in S2.

“At CSS, I have been given ample chances to develop myself. I have got support from teachers. They respect, care and encourage me a lot. I have also made a lot of good and sincere friends,’’ the boy who is turning to 17 in June said.

Joshua said that the competition among students at CSS is positive. Students encourage each other in many aspects. The school is also a place for all students to have all-round development.

He thanked CSS for providing him numerous chances for performances. When asked to recall the most memorable performing experience at CSS, he said it was the time when he played violin for the school orchestra at the annual school musical production “Annie” when he was S2. “I realized that I could not always be the key player. Collaboration is of utmost importance.’

He described the school atmosphere at CSS is “open” and “respectful”.

When he promoted to higher forms, Joshua found it is getting more difficult to manage time well between studying and playing violin. He has been trying hard to strike a good balance between studying and practicing violin every day. He thanked teachers and tutors for their advice and encouragement.

Joshua aims at entering the music school at the renowned Eastman School of Music in New York after completing his IB Diploma programme. He hopes he can learn from Ivry Gitlis, an Israeli virtuoso violinist and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador who has performed with the world's top orchestras, whose music moves audience deeply.

Joshua was honoured in winning the solo violin category of the Hong Kong stage of the Manhattan International Young Artists Music Festival. “I am grateful as I was rewarded for what I have bene working diligently so far.’’ He has been invited to perform in Carnegie Hall, New York City, the most prestigious classical music concert venue in the United States in July.

Joshua added that after joining CSS, he was no longer a boy who went straight to library during recess when he was studying at his previous schools. He enjoyed his happy school life at CSS. His changes and growth have been witnessed by his family that they also let his younger brother to join CSS two years ago. Joshua and his family are indeed important members among other students and other school community members in the school.

Control the orange pi zero GPIO

After installing my orange pi zero. I tried to use my board the reencode some video file that use xvid/ac3 to x264/aac with the ffmpeg linux command.

The problem was that it took more than two hours at 100% cpu usage on the 4 cores to reencode the video, during that time the cpu was getting instantly too hot and, as a result, was heavily throttling . I tried to use a radiator, and it significantly reduced the amount of throttling but it was not eliminating it, since eventually the cpu reached pretty high temperature.

I decided to add a fan to blow on the radiator to reduce even further the cpu temperature.

I didn’t want the fan to be running all the time so I decided to use the gpio function of my board to control the state of a pin to start and stop a fan.

The problem is that the logic levels sent by the gpio is 3.3v which is much to low to start the fan i own.

My fan is a 12v fan, but it turns out that it can run at 5v, it just have a lot of trouble starting, most of the time when I put 5 v on the fan, I just see a very small movement, and then nothing, I just have to give a little push, and then it will start

Of course, this is not going to be OK. I must find a way to start that fan without that initial push.

To send 5v instead of 3.3v to the fan I used a PNP transistor that will be controlled by the 3.3v signal.

On this photo , the GPIO control pin is wired to PIN number 23 , after i took that picture i changed it to pin number 7

As you can see on the photo, the pin one of the PNP transistor is wired to a GPIO pin, the pin 2 is wired to the pin 2 of the board which provide constant 5v,and then the pin 3 is wired to the the red wire of the fan.
The black fan wire is connected to the pin number 6 of the board.

Here is a little schematic of the wiring.

To control the gpio I used wiringpi program that I found at this URL

At first I tried to use the gpio pin number 23 but, for some reason I failed to change the state of that pin using the wiring pi library.

I then chosed to use the pin number 7 which is named GPIO.7 in the “gpio readall” command.

First I configured the pin 7 as an output using that command

gpio mode 7 out

Then i use that command to set pin 7 at logic level 1 (3.3v)

gpio write 7 1

But even with all that, my fan still needed a little push to start turning.

After a good afternoon where I considered buying a cheap and small 5v fan on one of the classic Chinese website, i remarked that if my control GPIO pin was not soldered and I disconnected and reconnected very rapidly the control wire, the fan was starting every time.

The idea of a bash script exploiting this fact was born.

Here is the script that works for me every time!

gpio mode 7 out
while (($i < 10))
gpio write 7 1
sleep .1
gpio write 7 0
sleep .05
echo $i

gpio write 7 1

This  script put the pin 7 in output mode, then switch the state of pin 7 rapidly provoking the startup of the fan.  At the end of the script the pin 7 is left in the 1 state.

To be sure the fan started, I usually launch this script 3 times, but it’s overkill and one time is enough most of the time.

When I want to stop the fan, I just launch the command

gpio write 7 0

And the fan stop immediately,

Now creating a script that launch automatically the fan when the cpu get above a predefined temperature is going to be extremely easy, I will describe it in another article.

Even if the fan is turning very very slowly , it does have a very significant effect on cpu temperature

Reduction of more than 10 degrees

NEW YORK — For the first time, the Super Bowl is being played outdoors in a cold-weather city.

It used to be the norm for the NFL’s championship game.

Just ask 92-year-old Charley Trippi.

Long before there was a Super Bowl, the Hall of Famer played in two title games with the Chicago Cardinals — the first while wearing sneakers to cope with an icy field, the second in a Philadelphia blizzard that made it impossible to even see the yard lines.

“You never really knew if you had a first down,” Trippi remembered Wednesday when reached at his home in Athens, Ga. — where, interestingly enough, there was snow on the ground from a freak winter storm that paralyzed much of the South.

It wouldn’t be at all surprising to have flurries at MetLife Stadium today, when the Denver Broncos face the Seattle Seahawks, though the forecast called for only a 20 percent chance of precipitation. The temperature, expected to climb well past the freezing mark in the afternoon, could dip back into the 20s after nightfall.

Trippi doesn’t understand why the NFL took a chance on its signature game being marred by inclement weather, when the league has plenty of warm-weather cities and domed stadiums to choose from.

“The championship game should be played in a climate that you know is going to be agreeable to put on a good exhibition of football,” he said. “Actually, if I was a fan, I wouldn’t go to the game with that kind of temperature.”

Before the first Super Bowl in 1967, the NFL title game was a matchup between division winners in late December, hosted by one of the teams. Since most pro franchises in those days were located in the Northeast and Midwest, it wasn’t at all surprising for the championship to be decided in some especially brutal weather. In fact, it often became the central theme.

Most notably, there was the famous “Sneakers Games” in 1934, when the New York Giants borrowed some basketball shoes from a nearby college, changed out of their cleats in the third quarter, and turned a 13-3 deficit into a 30-13 victory at the ice-covered Polo Grounds. The Giants would repeat the tactic 22 years later, romping to another title largely by having better footing than their opponent.

Both title games that Trippi played in were affected by the weather.

In 1947, Comiskey Park was coated with a thin sheet of ice when the Cardinals hosted the Philadelphia Eagles on a bitterly cold day (Trippi remembers the wind chill being minus-20). Borrowing a page from the Giants, Trippi traded his cleats for sneakers and scored two touchdowns on a 44-yard run and a 75-yard punt return, leading Chicago to a 28-21 victory and what remains the franchise’s only title.

“The only time I played an NFL game in tennis shoes was in Chicago for our championship team,” Trippi said. “We got better footing in tennis shoes. You couldn’t stand up in cleats.”

The following year, the teams met again in the title game, this time at Philadelphia’s Shibe Park. A full-fledged blizzard struck the city, dumping so much snow the grounds crew couldn’t remove the tarp. The players were summoned from the locker room to help pull it off the field.

By the time the game kicked off, the field was completely covered again, this time by several inches of the white stuff. What followed barely qualified as football, much less a title game.

“It was more of a pushing game,” Trippi said, recalling how the players were slipping and sliding all over the place. “It was incredible. The officials improvised the whole game. No one could see the lines. The ballplayers just couldn’t react like they wanted. I think the fans got cheated out of seeing a real championship game.”

The Cardinals, who had gone 11-1 during the regular season and led the league with an average of more than 391 yards per game, managed just six first downs and 131 yards in the horrible conditions. The Eagles didn’t fare much better, but a Chicago turnover early in the fourth quarter set up the game’s only score, Steve Van Buren’s 5-yard touchdown run.

The final: Philadelphia 7, Chicago 0.

To this day, Trippi figures the Cardinals were wrongly denied their second straight title.

“When two professional teams play and they can only score seven points,” he said, “that shows you what a terrible game it was.”

He hopes there’s not a repeat on today.

People look at a Tesla Motors vehicle on the showroom floor at the Dadeland Mall on February 19, 2014 in Miami, Florida.  Nevada, California, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico are offering the car company major incentives in an effort to lure a planned $5 billion factory to their state.
People look at a Tesla Motors vehicle on the showroom floor at the Dadeland Mall on February 19, 2014 in Miami, Florida. Nevada, California, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico are offering the car company major incentives in an effort to lure a planned $5 billion factory to their state.

LOS ANGELES >> From the start, little has been typical about Tesla Motors’ plan for a $5 billion factory to make batteries for a new generation of electric cars.

It’s not just the project’s massive scale, the cutting-edge technology, or even the bonanza of 6,500 good-paying jobs.

It’s how Tesla is deciding where to build.

Through a series of unusual plays, Tesla has five states bidding up subsidy packages to land the coveted plant. The winner is expected to offer the luxury car-maker publicly financed incentives exceeding a half-billion dollars.

Tesla signaled this would be no ordinary competition last fall, when it gathered economic development officials from seven Western states and unveiled its vision for a “gigafactory.” (“Giga” refers to the large amount of power that batteries produced at the plant will store.)

This spring, CEO Elon Musk announced Tesla would take the extremely unusual step of spending millions to prepare sites in two states — or perhaps even three — before the finalist was chosen. Then, over the summer, Musk said the winning state would pitch in about 10 percent of the cost, effectively signaling a minimum bid of $500 million.

“We don’t usually see companies setting a floor at which states will be considered,” said Leigh McIlvaine of the research group Good Jobs First, which tracks large subsidy packages by states.

For all the public anticipation Musk has created, much about the process remains secret.

While an industrial park in the desert outside Reno, Nevada, is one known site, the other — or others — remains a mystery. Tesla has asked states not to discuss their offers, and states aren’t talking.

The effect is a game of high-stakes poker, with the states as players and Tesla dealing.

“You can’t see any cards at all. Do you stay in or not, push more chips onto the table or fold?” said Kim Hill, who studies incentives at the nonprofit Center for Automotive Research in Michigan.

The factory promises something that every state wants but rarely gets these days: thousands of good-paying factory jobs and all the residual economic benefits they bring.

So far, Nevada, California, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico remain contenders. They have passed tax breaks, promised worker-training funds or proposed shelving environmental regulations that could slow the factory’s construction. There is talk of special legislative sessions to sweeten the bids.

When The Associated Press filed public records act requests for documents about the competition with each of the five finalist states, none released much useful information and most refused to release anything at all, citing the competitive need to keep their offers secret.

In one glimpse behind the curtain of confidentiality, California provided an email from a Tesla official to the governor’s senior adviser for jobs and economic development. It contained a newspaper story speculating on a possible site and said, simply: “This is unhelpful.” What might be unhelpful was unclear, and the governor’s office of business and economic development refused repeated requests to discuss its pursuit of the factory.

Tesla needs the factory to make cheaper batteries for its Model 3, a mass-market electric car the company hopes to sell by 2017 for around $35,000. Currently Tesla only offers the Model S sedan, which starts at $70,000.

The tight production timeframe compels Tesla to prepare at least two sites, said spokesman Simon Sproule, who likened the approach to “an insurance policy.”

Tesla will pay about half of the factory’s cost; the other major investor is Panasonic, which will manufacture the lithium-ion battery cells and invest in equipment.

Musk has said to expect groundbreaking on at least one other site in coming months and a final decision by year’s end.

The last comparable bidding frenzy for a factory, according to John Boyd of the New Jersey-based site selection firm The Boyd Company, involved competition to attract automaker Saturn in the 1980s, at the leading edge of the South’s car manufacturing boom.

The competition for the gigafactory began at an October meeting at Tesla’s auto assembly plant in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Fremont — a rare approach to opening a site selection process. Tesla executives laid out what a winning bid must have: “Green” energy such as solar or wind at a low cost, an affordable and well-trained labor force, good transportation links to Tesla’s Fremont assembly plant. And a robust package of incentives.

Tesla required states to submit their proposals within three weeks, an early indication of influence the company would wield. “Given the scale, it was a very short turnaround time,” said Susan St. Germain, the lead business recruiter for Washington, who attended the meeting but whose state did not make the short list.

Along the way, there has been plenty of political theater. Texas Gov. Rick Perry drove to California’s state Capitol in a Tesla and California state Sen. Ted Gaines delivered a gold-painted shovel to Tesla headquarters. Cities in both states pitched Tesla directly. Tucson, Arizona, sent the company a preapproved building permit.

The director of the industrial park outside Reno where Tesla prepared land said he’s seen plenty of secrecy before, but never anything like this.

“It has been a very, very unusual transaction,” said Lance Gilman of the Reno Tahoe Industrial Center, which at 167 square miles is the nation’s largest industrial park. “They have played their cards so close to the vest.”

Texas has done business with Musk before. The state is providing his commercial space company, SpaceX, $15.3 million in incentives to develop a rocket-launching site. The money comes from what is regarded as the nation’s most generous “deal-closing fund” of incentives, which has doled out $487 million since 2003.

New Mexico’s governor has said that, if needed, she will ask the Legislature to consider changes in law to help land the plant. California Gov. Jerry Brown got lawmakers to pass language helping battery manufacturers, and Musk said Brown is working to address his concerns that California’s arduous environmental reviews would make the project’s three-year timeframe impossible to meet.

Nevada may hold a special session of its part-time legislature to discuss incentives.

“There’s kind of a bidding war out there with the state of California and the state of Texas,” said U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. “We’ll have to wait and see. I’m not going to start counting the jobs until it happens.”

Contributing to this report were Associated Press writers Scott Sonner in Reno, Nevada; Barry Massey in Santa Fe, New Mexico; Juliet Williams in Sacramento, California; Emily Schmall in Dallas; and Bob Christie in Phoenix.

Yesterday at NX35: Fergus and Geronimo at Hailey's

Band: Fergus & Geronimo
Venue: Hailey's Club
Time: 10:50 p.m.

Fergus & Geronimo had plenty working against its set last night at Night Two of NX35--not the least of which was a timeslot filled with numerous great acts playing at the same time.

As such, its show at Hailey's was nowhere near packed. But, thankfully, the club's four-band bill wasn't a ghost town bust.

Playing third to a lot of eyes and ears who gathered in the main room just in time for the band's set, Fergus & Geronimo banged out its set, and the audience sounded and acted quite appreciative of the Denton four-piece. People didn't walk out of the room raving about what they saw necessarily, but they seemed to enjoy what they heard.

Upcoming Events

Despite having relatively short songs, the band seemed to rush through its sparse 25-minute set. Still, its material seemed to fit well with a twitchy slant, given the near-garage sound with some echoes of pre-Beatles rock. At the core, these were simple, non-abrasive love songs. And though the band could have cashed in all of its chips and just let everything rip, its guitars, organ and drums were played with reserve and restraint. Until the second-to-last song, at least, which seemed to sound like the Marked Men's poppier material.

Balancing out a show that featured an impressive opening set by Final Club and disappointing, one-note set by Pure Ecstasy, Fergus & Geronimo fell in between. The band didn't blow a great opportunity, but there was a feeling that there could have been more to its display.

Urban Acres Is Hosting a Food Conference in Dallas, with Organic Farming Star Joel Salatin

Local food + local food advocate = hippie heaven.
Local food + local food advocate = hippie heaven.
Scott Reitz

Despite plenty of skepticism, the trend of local, organic, sustainable food seems to be one that's sticking around. We're all happy to plunk down the extra few bucks at a grocery store or restaurant for organic ingredients, which is probably good considering how much other garbage we eat and drink. In Dallas, Urban Acres, a local community supported agriculture organization and farmstead, has been driving the trend for as long as it's been around.

Now these organic junkies plan to kick up their passion for organic food a notch by launching the first-annual "s?l Conference," and they've brought in a pretty big gun in the world of naturally-grown food to kick it off. Joel Salatin, the owner of Polyface Farms in Virginia, will keynote the inaugural event, to the delight of hippies and foodies everywhere.

Salatin, made famous by Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma, is one of the biggest names in organic farming. Polyface Farms uses organic and ecologically-friendly methods of raising chickens and other livestock, and you can find his chickens at places like Chipotle even though he typically doesn't sell to vendors that are more than a half-day's drive from the farm.

At the Conference, Salatin will be joined by local food advocates Graham Dodds (of Hibiscus) and Cafe Momentum's Chad Houser. Dodds will demonstrate to the audience how to break down a whole pig, something that he does at his Henderson Avenue restaurant a few times a week. If you've ever felt the need to know how to butcher a whole hog, this could be one of the few chances you'll ever get to have a chef-instructed lesson.

Other sessions will focus on backyard chickens, beekeeping, and the reality of farming. Chipotle will be on-hand to provide free tacos for lunch, and an Artizone-sponsored afterparty with drinks and a DJ will take place after a full day of seminars, speakers, and classes. After all that sobering knowledge about vanishing bee populations and urban farming, a drink will surely be in order.

Tickets to the one-day conference on April 8 will run you $45 if you register early, but there are other package options that you should certainly consider if organic farming is your thing. For $105, you can get a VIP pass that includes extra perks, and $165 will get you access to the entire Conference and a "Steward's Dinner" with Joel Salatin. Maybe he'll bring some of his organically-grown chickens and you can taste the difference yourself.

IRS Publishes Guidelines for Domestic Partners and Same-Sex Spouses

Misty A. Watson

By Misty A. Watson

The IRS has published guidelines for domestic partners in community property states and same-sex spouses in California.

Each year, many LGBT couples must complete two separate and completely different tax returns. For states recognizing same-sex marriage or allowing the registration of domestic partners, the couple may be able to file jointly for their state tax return. Then, due to the provisions of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, the couple must individually complete separate federal tax returns.

The IRS guidelines help with couples in which an individual may be eligible for head of household status and clarify that each member of the couple must file a separate tax return.

For more information, click here:Questions and Answers for Registered Domestic Partners in Community Property States and Same-Sex Spouses in California.”

Monday 09/29 A.M. Quickie:
White Sox, Favre, Skins, Titans, Bama, More

It must be the end of the baseball regular season if a Monday column leads with baseball ahead of the NFL and college football.

But the end of this baseball season is even better, because the White Sox have to win a make-up game against the motivated-or-phoning-it-in Tigers, and -- if they win -- THEN play the Twins. Regardless: It's a weekday day game of playoff implications -- who's doing a live-blog? (Who's NOT?)

Meanwhile, today's SN column exposes that Week 4 in the NFL is generally where 3 weeks' worth of assumptions about the season fall apart: Favre sucks? Perhaps not. LJ/Chiefs suck? Not yesterday. (Corollary: Broncos unstoppable? More like: Mirage.) Titans and Bills can't possibly sustain it? My god: Kerry Collins is 1/4-Season MVP (and Chris Johnson is 1/4-Season ROY).

And then there's the "Monday Morning After" in college football. If you dropped by the blog on Saturday, you saw how I reacted to Florida's loss to Ole Miss (My "Worst. Loss. Ever.") Let's focus on the positive: Alabama is the No. 1 team in the country, and I am mystified that 2/3 of AP voters have Oklahoma ahead of them -- or that the Coaches have them at No. 4(!)

Ranking this weekend's top CFB accomplishments:
(1) Oregon State beating USC.
(2) Bama rolling at Georgia.
(3) Ole Miss winning at Florida.
(4) Michigan's comeback at home vs. Wisco.
(5) Northwestern 5-0 for first time since 1962.

Check out my complete BlogPoll (Take 1) for this week and give me any feedback before I file tomorrow's final version.

More later. Complete SN column here.

I agree, I fully expected to see Alabama at No. 1. But the coaches poll was definitely worse... 4th??? Behind Missouri ????? Apparently beating Buffalo is more impressive than beating Georgia?

Suave doubles down on Dec. 15
RSS Feeds Wednesday, December 15, 2010

The winners keep rolling in for freshman sire Suave, with two more juveniles breaking their maidens on Dec. 15. Suave now has sired 16 winners from his first crop, including the stakes winner Tlaquepaque and the Grade 2 stakes filly Suave Voir Faire, who was second in the Golden Rod S. (G2) at Churchill Downs.

Suave ranks among the top 20 freshman sires by earnings, with $540,000. Only six first-year stallions at stud in Kentucky have sired more 2010 winners, and just three in the nation have more multiple winners.

Suave's two newest winners came in two countries. At Aqueduct, Tough Market was the easiest kind of winner, strolling home by 8 3/4-lengths in a one mile maiden event over the inner dirt track. Bred in Kentucky by her owner Camelia Casby, the bay filly stalked the pace in second for the first four furlongs, moved to the front on the turn and never looked back as she pulled away from the competition with ease.

Tough Market is a half-sibling to three other winners, including the three-time added money winning colt Law Enforcement, who was a stakes winner at age two and like Tough Market was owned and bred by Casby.

Suave's other winner on the day came in Mexico, where Portugues claimed his first career victory. The Kentucky-bred dark bay or brown colt out of Libre, by Fly So Free, sold at the 2009 Keeneland September yearling sale for $30,000 to buyer Jacobo Nahmad.

Portugues is a half-brother to multiple stakes-winning juvenile Flamenco, winner of the Victoria S. at Woodbine and Cowdin S. at Belmont, and runner-up in the Sanford S. (G2) at Saratoga.

Jock Explorer, Kruger National Park

I was back at Skukuza Airstrip, again, thanks to Federal Air...

This time my destination was Jock Explorer, Kruger National Park.

General Manager,Louis Strauss, picked me up
 and the drive from the airstrip to the camp site produced some good game.
This large Nile Crocodile was first on the list...

Followed by a rather majestic Giraffe.
For some reason, foreign tourists love them!

And then this large leopard...
What a way to start my adventure.

Arriving guests are not driven into the camp,
but are dropped off about 800m away and the resident rangers
walk them into camp.
On the left is Dumi, Camp Manager/ranger/ general problem solver
And his colleague, Lazarus, who is the Game Ranger Manager.

Louis goes off to park his vehicle...
no walking into camp for him!

My first view of this mobile camp site.
Currently it is situated on the banks of the Biyamiti River.
The tent in the background is the dining room,
(when the weather is not conducive to sitting outside)

My " home" for the duration of my stay.

The interior is spacious with a comfy bed.

A small table and a "wagon box" complete the decor.
Simple but adequate.

Looking out...

A chemical toilet...

and a bucket shower might not be suitable for all the guests,
but both work well.

Snacks on my arrival...delicious!
If only I had known that this was to be the beginning of an eating "fest".
But my excuse was that I was able to "walk off" the meals.

A well stocked bar.

The smoke was from the fire that is kept going constantly to make hot water.

The game came to me...
well this Elephant did.

Sunset on my first night...

Executive chef and kitchen manager, Sam.
He was able to conjure up some of the best food I have ever eaten.
And most of it on rudimentary equipment or an open fire.
BUT, he was able to dish up restaurant quality meals throughout my three day stay.

Bush TV...
Early to bed...my first walking safari awaits in the morning.
Even the fact that these walking safaris only take place during the winter months,
(April to the end of October) should not deter the passionate wild life adventurer.
The winter days are warm and dry in comparison to summer when it is hot and wet.

House Passes Sound State Budget with Bipartisan Support

Invests More in Education, Restores Medical Deduction, Cuts Taxes

Raleigh, NC – Tonight the North Carolina House of Representatives passed a bipartisan State Budget by a vote of 80-35. The budget, which covers funding for FY 2015-2016 and FY 2016-2017, invests more in government functions including public education, while reducing the tax burden on North Carolina families and businesses.

“This is a budget compromise that stays true to conservative principles, while also investing in our State’s future,” Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) stated. “While it has been a long session, every day involved thoughtful, judicious budgeting. Today we not only passed a good budget, but we took significant steps to address some of our State’s chronic problems. We are improving our credit and shoring up rainy day funds by growing reserves to $1 billion. We have laid the groundwork for comprehensive Medicaid reform – an issue that has been kicked down the road far too long. We have restored the unlimited medical tax deduction, so that our sick and elderly are well looked after. We have invested in our children by providing more tools for success. We have enabled taxpayers to keep more of their hard earned dollars. I commend Governor McCrory and Senator Berger for their willingness to compromise throughout this process, and am glad that we have been able to reach this agreement..”

Some key House priorities represented in the final budget:

  • Invests $138M annually over the biennium to preserve valuable Teaching Assistant positions across the State.
  • Secures support for Driver Education so that North Carolina can continue to train responsible drivers. $24.1M in FY15-16 with future funding secured with late vehicle registration fees.
  • Invests $1.5M over the biennium for Transforming Principal Preparation, a House initiative that supports programs to dramatically improve the rigor of principal preparation and offer more career opportunities.
  • Increases funding to Textbook and Digital Learning Resources. Allocates $21.8M in FY15-16 and $31M in FY16-17, bringing total allotment to $52.3M in FY1 and $62M by FY2.
  • Funds the House’s School Connectivity Initiative to expand broadband and WiFi networks in all North Carolina schools. Allots $2M in FY15-16 and $12M in FY16-17.
  • Significantly increases support for the Opportunity Scholarship Program. Allocates an additional $6.8M in FY15-16 and $14M in FY16-17.
  • Increases support for community mental and behavior health services and includes funds for additional psychiatric beds in hospitals, a traumatic brain injury waiver, and training for paramedics to better manage patients with behavioral health issues.
  • Eliminates the transfer from the Highway Fund to the General Fund resulting in $216M in additional funding for transportation each year
  • Rewards our hardworking teachers and State employees with a $750 bonus in FY15-16.
  • Cuts the personal income tax to 5.499% for North Carolinians beginning in 2017.

Markets of the Middle East

Markets of the Middle East
13 July 2017 -
  •  Markets of the Middle East
    Markets of the Middle East  Markets of the Middle East

Markets of the Middle East
By Rob W. Colbourn

North Africa and the Middle East have actually long been part of a significant trade triangle. Since the Middle Ages spices, materials, trinkets and rare-earth elements and stones have actually been transported throughout the Arabian Gulf and Indian Ocean, onto camel trains throughout the Sahara Desert and to the corners of the trade triangle where they are generally bartered for out there.

The building of the Suez Canal, the canal that joins the Mediterranean Sea to the Arabian Gulf, guaranteeing that cargo boats do not need to walk around the Southern Cape of Africa to get to the Middle and Far East and South Asia, reveals simply exactly how vital traditionally the region is as a centre of trade.

From old times to today this trade has made certain that the region is renowned for its souks, which serve a number of objectives from offering important products to local people such as water and food, to offering mementos for tourist and working as an important part of the Arab society.

Many Souks and Bazaars also work as big outside restaurants offering economical typical food and drink made newly for each and every customer. The open areas or Squares of the marketplaces transformed into enjoyment discos in the evening enjoyable local people and site visitors alike, with a plethora of serpent charmers, foreteller, artists, dancers and whirling dervishes sent right into a rotating spiritual craze.

Several of one of the most famous markets that lie across the Arab Realm are listed below:

Morocco - Morocco is renowned for its traditional markets, and none are more revered compared to the one in Marrakech, which has the biggest traditional souk in the country. The Djemaa el Fna, among the busiest markets in Africa is a way of life for the locals and a source of awe for visitors.

The square where it is held is a hive of task with acrobats, story-tellers, professional dancers and artists; along with stalls marketing trinkets, clothing, water, actually anything.

In the evening food delays open in the square and the souk ends up being a busy outdoors restaurant.

The market in Tangiers, an active port city in Morocco, offers traditional items in addition to imports that have been given the city on cargo boats.

Fez, the city in Morocco that has actually given name to the red round hat that was made there has a crucial souk, offering all the common essentials and mementos consisting of the renowned hat.

Egypt - The hectic Khan el-Khalili is an ancient buying area in Cairo. The souk (suq in Arabic) below, is just one of the earliest in Africa dating back to 1382, and houses a number of stalls and shops in its winding alleyways, several with their very own manufacturing facility or workshop connected.

Turkey - Turkey is renowned for its souks, to which an increase of vacationers have significantly flooded in the last twenty years. Yet generally ancient souk in Istanbul, not far from the Blue Mosque, custom is still quite active. Here low-cost fake designer items are replaced with traditional carpets, ornaments and materials.

Arabia - Around the Gulf of Arabia one of the most renowned bazaars still depend on Oman's resources Muskat and Syria. Dubai, although thriving, is now much more well-known for gold and electronics than conventional Arabic items.

Ethiopia and Sudan - Although these places are more part of East Africa than the primarily Arabesque North Africa, Sudan and Ethiopia still are worthy of a reference, both still count heavily on their markets, which are still a way of living. These are the places to witness one of the elusive (to Western eyes) whirling dervishes.

Is this Diana art memorial the new Ecce Homo?

Both are artworks made with naive optimism and the same, unfortunate final result – absolute terror and a million memes

Dressing wells (yes the things you get water from) is an annual tradition in Chesterfield, a town almost exactly in the middle of England. This year, to mark 20 years since Princess Diana died, a well in Chesterfield was decorated with flowers, arranged with the intention of depicting Lady Di. The result? Oh. My. God. Yes you can see it above, but let’s take another, closer look.

Regrettably for the (presumably) well-intentioned well dressers of Chesterfield, this image looks like there is a screaming person trapped inside it, someone who was asked what they wanted to be in the next life, panicked and said "a miserable flower arrangement stuck on a well in a Brexit-voting market town”. There’s the pained expression of a wearied raver, 48 hours deep on a Creamfields bender, having taken the type of ecstasy that gets in the news.

The floral Diana tribute bears similarities to another iconic not-quite-an-artwork of our era: Ecce Homo. Known coloquially as “Beast Jesus”, it was an attempt by 83-year-old Cecilia Jiminez, an art restorer who attempted to repair a painting with terrifying results, spawning a million memes in the process. Laugh you may, but Jiminez’s art restoration job was so terrible that she actually inadvertently rescued the town’s ailing economy, as people flocked to see it. Fingers crossed for Chesterfield.

Feedback on Facebook regarding the well dressing included comments such as “bold choice from Chesterfield Council going with controversial artist Cecilia Gimenez” and “it needs taking down it's not nice at all”.

Ecce Homo and The Diana Well Dressing (as it shall now be known) are both moments in art history where beautiful, innocent naivety threw up unexpected, scary results. You can only do your best. Anyway, here are some cruel memes.

I took this shot last night and I am very satisfied with it. The composition is good, and everything is in focus. Given that I'm using the Rebel XT and kit lense, I'm very happy. I used a high aperature (f22) and exposed this for about 60 seconds. The water surprised me, as it gave off a soft but defineable reflection. I also feel that the balance is nice, with the bottom ice balancing the bridge.

Here is the deal: I like the lights having the "starry" look to them. But I don't want all of my night shots to have this look to the lights. Is there a filter that I can get to stop this?

Here she is:

I could be wrong, but I recall reading many, many years ago that a small aperture is apt to give the stare effect. You might try using f8 or larger and see if that will help.

Spot focus

• They should help Israel.

    Yes, Starbucks should fund Israel, because it would send a powerful message to Israel and the rest of the world that it has supporters. It is so scary that Israel is where it is, surrounded by all those countries that want to push it into the sea. Starbucks should stand with them. I would buy more Starbucks.

  • Starbucks should be allowed to fund any country if ...

    Starbucks should be allowed to fund any country if they also make money in other countries and limit their contributions to less than their profit from these other countries. Every corporation should respect what they take out of the population and use it as a tool only to the extent it benefits the home country as well.

  • Yes, I think starbucks should fund many different countries.

    Yes, I think Starbucks should fund many different countries. If Starucks is handing out their money and support other countries might need it more than us. I think Startbucks is a wonderful company that needs to engage in many different kinds of funding in many different places around the world.

  • No, they shouldn't.

    I don't think that corporations should be in the business of funding any countries, not even the United States. I think companies can support charities, but I don't think they should get in the political sphere. They should work on building their business and profits and not on other matters if it doesn't effect them personally.
