 Explain what Tesla is doing in Puerto Rico.

Some of them are already on the commonwealth, along with company employees to install them.
Tesla is sending hundreds of its Powerwall battery systems to storm-ravaged Puerto Rico. The commonwealth has been almost entirely without power since after Hurricane Maria made landfall on September 20th and tore up its energy infrastructure. Once the storm passed, Tesla started sending hundreds of its standalone power banks, and some have already arrived while more are en route.
Powerwalls, first unveiled in 2015, are large batteries designed to store power gathered by solar panels. Tesla sent its own employees to help install units, and is reportedly working with local organizations to find the best locations for the power banks. These could potentially be worked into whatever energy network can be constructed, but there's no timeline for how long it will take to revive the commonwealth's power network.
As New Scientist points out, since the entire grid went down, it must be restarted from scratch in a labor-intensive process known as a 'black start'. Meanwhile, a majority of the 3.4 million Puerto Ricans can't refrigerate food, run air conditioning to stave off the Caribbean heat or pump potable water.

 Describe the potential implications if two of the characters, an enchanter and a muggle, are revealed to be married and planning to have children.

Interesting theory but as I see it, Ally is not a muggle and he is. Perhaps an incompatibility exists where they cannot procreate or . . . consider this: Perhaps they have chosen NOT to have children yet. It could complicate their lives in ways we are unable to imagine.
@Sir Rennifer of Avancourt: also entirely possible the girls aren't actually of age to procreate yet. remember Mass Effect? Asari have to be in the Matron Stage to actually have kids. Liara ISN'T and she's over a 100. longer-lived a species is, less it needs to procreate and all that.
@Pendrake: Heck, we don't even know what kind of weird hybrid would result from an enchanter/normal cross. My theory is that the girls are avoiding having kids because it would be so much harder to hide any weirdness with them.
Although, they probably are at least genetically compatible, given that they share distant ancestors.
Calpurnia would have an utter _fit_ if any of the girls got pregnant. They're barely out of their teens (as enchanters go)! They don't have the experience to make safe, responsible choices. Gallivanting about with mortals as though they'd have a possibility of sharing their lives... okay, okay Cal, we get the picture.
As mentioned, this is an opening... but not a positive one... the truth that Ally and her friends are where they are for the right reasons would be likely lost initially to the bigger picture of their race's arrogance, indifference and antipathy... unless the lead in would be about "How about if there were some 'rebellious' ones who chose to be part of normal society and fight for those who needed to be saved from that ambush in some alley you mentioned?"

 How can Netflix and Marvel make their superhero shows more successful?

Netflix and Marvel need to start thinking outside the box before audiences drift away — or Disney steals them.
Marvel fans should be worried. The Netflix shows are not without their flaws, but allowing them to die would be a real loss for the genre.
The timing is not great for Netflix, which released the third season of sibling show “Daredevil” on Friday, Oct. 19. The bigger problem here is that Netflix originally designed these shows to intersect but has been inconsistent in doing so, leaving some storylines feeling unmoored. It was an interesting experiment, but for it to successfully continue, Netflix will have to figure out a way for the various plots to stand on their own — and more interesting ways to get them to work together. If Netflix can’t find a way to do this, Marvel’s parent company Disney is liable to dominate the superhero landscape on TV going forward as their new streaming service becomes the (much more family friendly) choice for Marvel starting in 2019.
There are already Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) shows on several different networks, most of which are at least partially owned by Disney. Netflix is the only non-Disney owned company currently producing MCU series. This is due in large part to Netflix’s unparalleled commitment to the Marvel community, as the ambitious slate of interlocking plotlines proves.
“The Avengers” was the highest grossing movie of all time when it arrived in 2012. In contrast, “The Defenders” was the first Netflix Marvel series not to get automatically renewed for a second season.
The problem is, for all its success, Netflix hasn’t been able to keep it up with Hollywood. “The Avengers” was the highest grossing movie of all time when it arrived in 2012. In contrast, “The Defenders” was the first Netflix Marvel series not to get automatically renewed for a second season. And by releasing no less than five series in the space of 12 months, showrunners are clearly running out of ideas. Watching the early episodes of “Daredevil” season three, one can spot recycled plot points at every turn: This pro-prison stance echoes the “The Punisher,” that imagined antagonist feels straight out of “Jessica Jones.” What once was new has started to feel repetitive.
So what can Netflix do? One potential fix would involve shortening the seasons from 10-13 episodes to something more manageable. Too many of seasons have included what feels like two distinct story arcs, each of which run about six episodes long. The second seasons of “Luke Cage” and “Iron Fist” tried to move away from this formula, but “Daredevil” season three once again reuses the format, with a classic pivot moment occurring in episode six.
Speaking of overused formats, spacing the releases better should also be a priority. Even Marvel Studios only releases three films a year, which is already so many the MCU is regularly accused of saturating the market.
But most of all, Netflix needs to find better ways of connecting the series, without undermining each standalone story. This doesn’t mean Netflix has to bring back the mediocre “Defenders;” instead it could spin up a female-lead series starring Colleen Wing (from “Iron Fist”) and Misty Knight (from “Luke Cage”) with Jessica Jones and Karen Page from “Daredevil” as allies. The comics have already done this with “Daughters of the Dragon” — why shouldn't TV follow that example? And especially now that “Luke Cage” also hasn’t been green-lit for another season, there’s the possibility of putting the canceled shows together in a “Heroes For Hire” series.
Whatever happens, Netflix and Marvel need to start thinking outside the box they’ve stuck themselves in. Otherwise audiences are going to drift away, and more shows are going to get canned. And that would be a real loss for superhero storytelling.

 Describe a possible explanation for the Cambrian Explosion.

Abstract: Current models indicate that Venus may have been habitable. Complex life may have evolved on the highly irradiated Venus, and transferred to Earth on asteroids. This model fits the pattern of pulses of highly developed life appearing, diversifying and going extinct with astonishing rapidity through the Cambrian and Ordovician periods, and also explains the extraordinary genetic variety which appeared over this period.

 Respond in 25 sentences. Have you tried keeping a mandarin goby in your tank?

The mandarin goby is one of the most popular marine aquarium fish, unfortunately it is not the easiest fish to keep, and definitely not recommended for beginners. One way to make the iconic dragonet more accessible is to offer them as captive bred, which ORA has done in the past, and which Biota Aquariums is offering now.
Biota Aquariums is a mainland offshoot of Biota Palau, a company headed by Thomas Bowline who is a skilled aquaculturists, having bred everything from giant clams to threadfin snappers and bumphead parrotfish. More recently Bowline and Biota have set their sights on more ornamental species of fish which are more suitable for home aquariums, and their captive bred mandarins are the stars of their new lineup.
In a random convergence of events, we just happened to set up a new reef tank mere weeks before Biota Aquariums started shipping small ornamental fish, and while Tom Bowline was traveling in our home town on other business. Tom arranged to have a shipment sent to us so he could personally inspect the quality of the fish shipped from the Biota Aquarium facility in Florida.
The first pair of captive bred mandarin gobies from Palau came in pretty small, especially compared to the wild fish we usually see freshly imported from the wild. At about 1.25 inches long, or a hair over 3cm, the fish were still somewhat pale and hadn’t fully developed their colors yet.
After such a long trip from Palau, to Florida, to Denver Colorado, the fish had managed to lose a little bit of weight during their journey. Thankfully, these being captive bred fish it was quite easy to offer them a variety of small foods and they quickly fattened up within about two weeks.
It’s been almost two months now since the pair of mandarins have been in our tank and they are beautiful, fat little gems. You might think (or hope) that being captive bred, these fish would eat pellets and flake foods but the mandarin gobies still retain some of the their predisposition for ‘good’ foods.
We’ve been able to feed the mandarin just about every kind of small frozen meaty foods including baby brine shrimp, copepods, finely chopped mysis shrimp and calanus. The calanus is still just a touch too big for their small pointed mouths but here shortly we should be able to start trying them on more dry foods like freeze-dried Calan-Eeze, once it’s been rehydrated of course.
What is exceptional about Biota Aquariums’ captive bred mandarin gobies is that they really are very eager feeders. Whereas a wild mandarin goby might be only slightly enticed to peck at small meaty foods, these captive bred specimens really have a strong feeding urge.
Being still just a hair over 1.5 inches long now, our mandarins are still a bit shy, but they do not cower away from targeted clouds of the frozen foods we offer them. We suspect that over time these fish will actually come to associate us with the dinner bell, and will eventually come to beg for food like most normal aquarium fish.
Of course what we truly love about these little gems is how perfect they have turned out. We’ve been critical of captive bred fish for defects and lack of culling before, but it seems that captive breeding artifacts are very minor or absent in captive bred dragonets, from what we can tell so far.
We have one male and one female captive bred mandarin goby from Biota Aquariums, and while they are not even halfway to fully grown, their coloration, finnage, and the shape of their face and markings are all on track to be every bit as beautiful as what we expect from wild Synchiropus splendidus.
Sustainable harvest of mandarin gobies in the wild is definitely not a concern, but wild fish can have diseases or parasites, and most onerous of all, they will be a lifelong picky eater and may take years to eat frozen foods. Having seen, fed and grown Biota Aquariums captive bred mandarins for most of the summer, we feel that these fish will not only be easier to keep for most people, but that they will also be more robust and better thrive in a home aquarium environment.
With Biota Aquariums expected to launch their all-in-one, vertically integrated starter aquarium in the next month or so, we expect the availability of several of their captive bred marine fish species to become available to resellers as well. Having had great success with our own pair of captive bred mandarin gobies, we are very confident in recommending them to any aquarists interested in getting this fish for a tank of their own.

Bernie Sanders, as opposed to Hillary Clinton, has defended the recent attacks on Planned Parenthood as “part of a long-term smear campaign by people who want to deny women in this country the right to control their own bodies.” His full statement follows in response to Republican efforts to stop government spending on Planned Parenthood.
“The attempt by Senate Republicans to cut off support for Planned Parenthood is an attack on women’s health. Stripping funding for Planned Parenthood would punish the 2.7 million Americans, especially low-income women, who rely on its clinics for affordable, quality health care services including cancer prevention, STI and HIV testing and general primary health care services.
“The current attempt to discredit Planned Parenthood is part of a long-term smear campaign by people who want to deny women in this country the right to control their own bodies.
In contrast, Clinton has once again played into the hands of the right wing by calling the videos “disturbing” and calling for a national investigation.
Abortion opponents are using illegally obtained tapes to falsely claim that Planned Parenthood is selling fetal tissue obtained during abortions, which would be illegal. Their tapes actually show negotiations over nominal fees for preservation and transportation of the tissue for biomedical research, which is totally different from selling the tissue, and which is both legal and conventional in health care.

I also believe it is the patient who makes the decision. This discussion reminds me of the stem cell discussions…..we should be doing what we can to find a way to heal. I also do not think Hillary did not throw them under the bus..I think she meant exactly what she said..the videos are disturbing…investigate and stop the hate.
Would love to finally have a woman be president of the U.S. But Bernie Sanders believes in and stands for everything I have for my whole life. I will vote for Bernie.
Hillary was talking about investigating Planned Parenthood, criticizing them for what the videos showed. She was wrong to give any credence to these videos.
Wait until he's a real threat to Hillary.
If and when he gets that far the sisterhood and the race-baiters will turn on him.
He's too old, too white, and too male.
The only thing not wrong with him from the liberal point of view is that he's not a Christian; that would certainly have been one too many, not only depriving him of the invaluable tribal enthusiasm of the Jewish left but engaging the hostility and suspicion of both Jews and secularists.
Though her relative social conservatism and instinct for triangulation on social issues will not make it easy for them, the sisterhood, quiet so far, will remind us that the deal in 2008 was that that was the year of Obama, the historic black candidate, and next up would be Hillary, the historic female candidate.
They will also start bashing Bernie with everything from his long past that doesn't quite pass a contemporary feminist PC sniff test.
Poor Bernie just doesn't really sound as though his consciousness has ever been raised.
And the women will join the blacks in belaboring his whiteness and his unfortunate insensitivity to race per se, to blacks in particular and non-whites in general.
And that might play nicely into bashing him for his unfashionable apparent loyalty to the two-state solution, traditional Zionism, and the idea of an of course ethnically specific Jewish state, a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
Conservatives have already played the race card against him for his opposition to mass low-wage immigration and his opposition to trade policies that have made the rich richer as well as the Chinese, the Mexicans, and others, all at the expense of American working people.
Both his ethnic Zionism and his American nationalism put him at loggerheads with the anti-nationalist cosmopolitanism of most influential younger liberals, notably Jewish ones, and will certainly come under fire if he rises to the point of posing a significant threat to Hillary, or even of influencing her positions.
He will get out of this long campaign all smiles only if he never really threatens Hillary.

 What's happening with Ethereum's proof-of-stake upgrade? Respond in 20 sentences.

With the Byzantium fork successfully behind us, it is time for the Ethereum ecosystem to look ahead to our next big update. The second Metropolis hard fork might be coming sooner than expected.
Ethereum’s Byzantium hard fork was only one half of a two-part process designed to transition the decentralized application platform to a new method for reaching consensus – proof-of-stake. The next hard fork, called Constantinople, was recently discussed during an Ethereum core developer meeting and could include Vitalik Buterin’s Casper update.
Ethereum developers and researchers are currently exploring two flavors of Casper: Casper FFG and Casper CBC.
Casper FFG (Friendly Finality Gadget) is Buterin’s iteration of a proof-of-stake consensus algorithm. Per the updated Casper FFG whitepaper, “Casper is a partial consensus mechanism combining proof-of-stake algorithm research and Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus theory.” This change will essentially be an overlay atop Ethereum’s current proof-of-work blockchain.
In Buterin’s iteration, proof-of-work would propagate the blockchain as usual. However, every fifty blocks, a “checkpoint” will interrupt the chain and proof-of-stake will verify consensus through finality validators. This is why Buterin’s version of Casper is a hybrid proof-of-work/proof-of-stake partial consensus mechanism.
Casper CBC (Correct By Construction) is the brainchild of Ethereum’s game theory phenom Vlad Zamfir. Generally speaking, Zamfir’s design is a departure from status-quo protocol design. Typically, protocols are fully complete before implementation. Zamfir’s design begins implementation with a partial protocol and builds to a complete protocol via input from a safety oracle, or what Zamfir refers to as “an ideal adversary.” In Zamfir’s model, an estimate safety oracle will raise exceptions of a fault or identify potential future faults. Simply put, Zamfir’s version of Casper places emphasis on protocol architecture in such a way that a local view of a particular node’s estimate of safety is used to reach consensus safety for the entire network.
Basically, Casper FFG is a road map for gradually switching Ethereum to proof-of-stake and Casper CBC is more of a method of securing a proof-of-stake system. Although details about ultimate Casper implementation are sparse, the final rendition of Casper will likely draw aspects from both of these methods. The step away from proof-of-work, which relies heavily on electricity and hardware, is on a path that Ethereum’s core developers have been planning for years now.

 Describe the ExoMars rover mission.

Artist’s illustration of the ExoMars rover, which is expected to launch in 2020.
You can help name Europe's life-hunting Mars rover, if geography smiles upon you.
The UK Space Agency has launched a public competition to name the U.K.-built ExoMars rover, which is scheduled to launch toward the Red Planet on a life-hunting mission in 2020.
"The ExoMars rover is a vital part of this journey of exploration, and we are asking you to become part of this exciting mission and name the rover that will scout the Martian surface," Peake added.
The contest is open only to residents of ESA member states and "associate members." So, you're eligible if you live in Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or the U.K.
The competition runs through Oct. 10. The person who submits the winning moniker (which, hopefully, won't be Rovey McRoverface) gets a tour of the Airbus facility in Stevenage, England, where the ExoMars rover is being built.
To learn more or to enter, go to the contest site.
The life-hunting, drill-equipped rover is the second phase of the two-part ExoMars program, which is led by ESA with Russia as junior partner. Phase one consisted of a landing demonstrator called Schiaparelli and the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), which launched together in March 2016.
Schiaparelli crashed on the Martian surface in October 2016, but TGO reached its desired orbit and recently began sniffing for methane and other potential signs of life in the Red Planet's atmosphere.
NASA plans to launch its own Mars rover in 2020. The American space agency's Mars 2020 rover will, among other tasks, search for signs of ancient Red Planet life, cache promising samples for possible future return to Earth and test out an instrument that generates oxygen from atmospheric carbon dioxide.

 "What is going on with Trump and the Russia scandal?"

President Donald Trump speaks at the White House, October 18, 2017.
On Thursday morning, President Donald Trump sent a series of tweets about the Russia scandal, attempting to put forth a counternarrative in which Democrats and the FBI are the real villains.
With special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation moving forward and new revelations about Russian propaganda efforts during the 2016 election, the Trump-Russia scandal clearly isn't going away anytime soon, and ignoring it no longer seems like a viable political strategy.
So many conservative media figures and GOP politicians have increasingly tried to publicize other Russia-related matters that they say implicate Trump's political enemies — whether the Obama administration, the Clintons, Mueller, fired FBI Director James Comey, or even the FBI as a whole — in misconduct of some kind.
@realDonaldTrump: Uranium deal to Russia, with Clinton help and Obama Administration knowledge, is the biggest story that Fake Media doesn't want to follow!
@realDonaldTrump: Workers of firm involved with the discredited and Fake Dossier take the 5th. Who paid for it, Russia, the FBI or the Dems (or all)?
The political reason Trump is embracing both of these stories is clear enough: He's trying to cast Russia-related dirt on both Democrats and the FBI (which he views as part of a "deep state" unfairly persecuting him), to try to discredit the investigation as a whole, and to change the subject from the question of whether any of his associates colluded with the Russian government during the campaign.
And indeed, conservative media figures are arguing that these stories make Democrats and the FBI look at the very least hypocritical on Russia, and at worst like Russian patsies themselves.
Much as occurred earlier this year with the "unmasking" controversy, the Trump administration, leading Republicans, and conservative reporters and media outlets are trying to publicize — some would say drum up — Russia-related controversies that make Democrats or the FBI look bad.
So as much of the mainstream media continues to drill into the question of whether there was any collusion between Trump's team and Russia during the election, much of the conservative media is spending a great deal of time on these other Russia-related stories.
The uranium company deal: This is essentially about whether the Obama administration had approved a 2010 deal in which Russia's atomic energy agency bought a Canadian company with extensive uranium holdings, including in the United States. The issue was discussed during the campaign, but a report by John Solomon and Alison Spann of the Hill this week questions why the Obama-era FBI and Justice Department didn't more aggressively pursue or publicize an investigation into misconduct from the Russian nuclear industry at the time. There are also questions about donations to the Clinton Foundation made by people involved with the deal, though no one has demonstrated that Hillary Clinton advocated for it in any sort of unusual way.
The Steele dossier:This is the infamous, salacious dossier put together by a former British spy that claimed extensive collusion between Russian officials and top Trump associates. It was written by former British spy Christopher Steele at the behest of the firm Fusion GPS. Republicans have questioned whether the dossier contained disinformation peddled by Russians and asked who paid Fusion to produce the dossier in the first place. There have also been questions about whether the FBI at some point last year paid Steele for the dossier.
Both of these matters have been hot topics on Fox News, and indeed, Trump appeared to be watching Fox & Friends when he tweeted about the uranium story Thursday morning.
@realDonaldTrump: .@ foxandfriends"Russia sent millions to Clinton Foundation"
The Senate Judiciary Committee under Chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has long been investigating the Steele dossier matter, and is now looking into the Russian nuclear matter too. And again, it's entirely possible that there was some wrongdoing on either front.
Still, the question of why Trump is so enthusiastic about these recent stories is hardly a mystery. The bigger picture is that he's hoping to change the subject from questions about what he and his associates may have done, and to muddy the waters on the Russia issue by casting aspersions on his biggest critics.

 Describe the Ford GT Race Program.

In anticipation of the mission to conquer LeMans in the 2016 Ford GT, Ford has begun the arduous process of testing. As with any new racing program, producing a winning combination requires engineering, assembly and many, many hours spent running the car. So before Ford returns to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, they must log laps—and in this case build a program from the ground up.
The most recent test was conducted three weeks before the car’s unveiling at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in Le Mans, France. Attending was by Raj Nair, Ford group vice president and chief technical officer, Ford Global Product Development, and Dave Pericak, director, Ford Performance. The Ford GT race car was secretly tested and today, Ford Performance is giving fans around the world an exclusive look at the Ford GT race car’s first shakedown test.
“Ford GT means a lot of really important things for the company,” said Nair. “First, it’s celebrating our heritage, but it also, for present-day Ford, highlights our capabilities, whether it’s the innovations with what we’re doing with EcoBoost engines, the innovations we’re doing in light-weighting vehicles, or the innovations we’re doing with aerodynamics. It’s seeing all of those tools and technologies in the production vehicle taken to their maximum limit on a car like the Ford GT. It’s a showcase of technology, a showcase of innovation, our ability and our passion for the sport as well,” he added.
The GT was first pressed on track in May, after months of simulation testing at Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, Michigan. The campaign is set to debut in 2016 at Daytona, where Ford will launch a four-car Ford GT race program under the Chip Ganassi Racing banner. “Two cars will race in the full TUDOR United SportsCar Championship series and will be based in the United States. Two will compete in the full FIA World Endurance Championship series and will be based in the United Kingdom,” stated our source at Ford.

 Have you heard anything about BlackBerry OS 10?

Thanks to a tip off, fruux has been told that the new upcoming version of BlackBerry's OS, version 10, will feature CardDAV and CalDAV support, making the BlackBerry the second smartphone platform, after Apple iOS, on the market to natively support fruux.
The rumour comes from a developer alpha preview of BlackBerry OS 10, where we can clearly see support for the CardDAV and CalDAV protocols underneath Microsoft ActiveSync, Google Mail and IMAP. Unfortunately, we have not yet managed to get our paws on a test device, however we are trying our hardest of course!
As well as this, Google is also shutting down its Exchange ActiveSync service (across all platforms, not just the BlackBerry).
Of course, we're really excited about this rumour, as it means that we can add the BlackBerry to the long list of devices that are supported by fruux! So, if you're the proud owner of a BlackBerry, pretty soon you'll be able to keep all your contacts and calendars in sync without installing any proprietary software or annoying programs. With fruux, any changes will be automatically pushed to all your devices, so you can be sure that when you enter an appointment on the go on your BlackBerry, it'll be ready and waiting for you on your computer when you get home.
In addition to the basic sync functionality, you'll also be able to use our sharing features to, for example, share a calendar with your family or a colleague. If RIM, the makers of BlackBerry OS, also add a CalDAV compliant tasks application to the final version of BlackBerry OS 10 (we unfortunately don't know that yet), you'll even be able to collaborate using fully synced and shared to-do lists with other people. Now that's pretty cool.
The move is especially nice as it shows that BlackBerry is starting to embrace open standards (CardDAV and CalDAV) rather than tying their customers down to proprietary software. Of course, it's important to remember that for fruux these open standards lie at the core of what we do, so the fact that more and more devices are supporting them is absolutely fantastic news.
BlackBerry OS 10 is rumoured to launch on January 10 of next year (we haven't yet heard which devices will be supported by it) and we'll keep you posted on any news or updates here. And if you have access to a BlackBerry 10 test device, then please do get in touch with us – we would love to be able to test fruux with it to make sure that everything's working great for the release!

 Describe King County's Gun Safety Action Plan.

King County Council Chair Joe McDermott introduced the Gun Safety Action Plan, a King County initiative to protect our residents from gun violence. He also called on the Washington State Legislature to lead or lift the ban imposed on local jurisdictions prohibiting local governments from enacting laws that might limit the sale or possession of firearms in Washington State.
In the absence of federal and state action on common sense gun safety laws, King County must take action to protect our residents from gun violence. Much of this work must include shedding light on how firearms affect the health and safety of King County residents, while taking steps to limit their impact. Read below to find out about the initial steps we are proposing to address gun safety in King County.
Require gun owners to securely store firearms and ammunition at all times, on all premises.
Require firearm dealers and those transferring ownership of their firearm to post warning signs disclosing the significant increase in risks to health and life from firearm ownership at the time of sale or transfer of a firearm. Signs will also include contact information for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
At all times, operators of shooting ranges will be required to post warning signs disclosing the significant increase in risks to health and life from firearm ownership and also contact information for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
King County will collaborate with youth and young adults to identify recommendations for reducing the gun violence that they experience. Adults have spent too much time pondering how to reduce gun violence amongst our youth. So we’re going to ask them.
This ordinance requires the King County Sheriff’s Office to destroy working forfeited weapons, including those that have been turned in by owners.
Require that the Executive's office establish a work group that develops gun safety and gun violence prevention strategies based on proven public health models.

 What do you think of the grand jury's decision concerning Darren Wilson and Michael Brown?

San Francisco, CA — After reviewing the transcripts and evidence released Tuesday, San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi released the following statement today on the grand jury’s decision against indicting police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown.
Because it was a grand jury inquiry and not a trial, Wilson took the stand in secrecy and without benefit of a cross-examination. Prosecutors not only failed to probe his incredible testimony but frequently appeared to be bolstering his claim of self-defense. Transcripts reveal that witnesses whose accounts contradicted Wilson’s were rigorously questioned by prosecutors.
Prosecutors never asked Wilson why he did not attempt to drive away while Brown was allegedly reaching through his vehicle window or to reconcile the contradiction between his claim that Brown punched the left side of his face and the documented injuries which appear on his right side.Wilson, who is 6 feet 4 inches tall and 210 pounds, is never asked to explain why he “felt like a five-year-old holding on to Hulk Hogan” during his struggle with Brown, who is Wilson’s height and 290 pounds.
The police investigation itself revealed strong biases toward the police officer and against Michael Brown, leading to an ongoing federal investigation into the police department’s history of discriminatory policing practices, use of excessive force and violations of detainees’ constitutional rights.
It is important that communities throughout this country re-evaluate and reform our processes by which justice is determined. We must work to ferret out biases that threaten the very foundation of society and taint decisions rendered by our justice system.

 Respond in 15 sentences. What is the latest update on the border wall issue?

The president’s plan to build a border wall was part of a contentious budget fight in Congress this year. The administration was seeking $3.6 billion in the 2017 and 2018 budgets for just over 100 miles of wall. But members of Congress — Democrats and Republicans — have so far declined to provide funding for the project and instead expanded funding to increase the use of technology such as sensors at the border.
On Tuesday, though, the House Appropriations Committee approved a spending bill that included $1.6 billion for a wall. The bill would fund 74 miles of fencing along the southwest border.
The Department of Homeland Security has moved $20 million from other programs to pay for the construction of several border wall prototypes. Construction of the prototypes for a border wall is set to begin this summer in the San Diego area.
Homeland Security officials said the prototypes would be added to the existing border walls in San Diego and would allow the agency to evaluate which barriers are most effective in giving Border Patrol agents time to respond to illegal drugs and human smuggling. Officials said they planned to build four to eight prototypes.
Mr. Trump initially spoke of building a “big, beautiful” wall along the entire 2,000-mile border with Mexico. But last week, he scaled back that plan, saying the length of the wall could be as little as 700 miles.
Mr. Trump also said the wall would be partially transparent and could have solar panels to help offset the cost. Mr. Trump has pledged that he would make Mexico pay for the wall, a notion flatly rejected by the Mexican president, Enrique Peña Nieto.
Significant opposition to a wall has also developed in some communities along the border. In Texas, much of the land needed for a wall is private, and there is bipartisan opposition from most of the state’s congressional delegation.

 Name a few of your favorite holiday songs or memories.

Enjoy the magic of the holidays with your favorite Country stars, as they perform classic Christmas songs and share their treasured holiday memories. It’s a night of celebration guaranteed to get you in the spirit! “CMA Country Christmas” comes to ABC each Christmas season, hosted by Jennifer Nettles.
Wow.. she looks gorj!!! And I love Pentatonix!
Just listened to their Christmas album! It's definitely staying in my holiday rotation!
I love Jewel's version of The Christmas Song Sleigh Ride is a fun one, too!
I'm looking forward to this! Mister and I will try out our cool new digital TV recorder on this one.
I didn't like the last Christmas cd.
She has such an amazing vocal range and it's totally lost on that cd.
I much prefer "Joy". Her voice is amazeballs on that CD.
I watched the whole thing today. I wouldn't have known any of them were country since they were singing Christmas songs. Thankfully!
And I would love to hear Jewel and Jennifer Nettles sing together. Jennifer has a really powerful voice. I've seen her once with Sugarland (free tix - don't normally do country) and I'm actually going to see her solo next month. Her solo stuff is much less twangy, so I'm excited. Anyway, I think they would sound wonderful together. Wish list.
I watched everyone on mute. I thought Jewel was good, it was cute, but just - eh. I used to love when she did Christmas songs, because she used to really let go and power it out. And not over-sing. It takes such incredible control to do that. But she plays it safe so much now. Maybe it was the show. You know, you get a shmuck running audio and they don't know what to do. It was nice, I guess I expected more. I expected that range that makes me cry. Again, I think I expect too much.
I guess I expected more. I expected that range that makes me cry. Again, I think I expect too much.
So much so, that I ripped the CD and burned a new one after shooting Rudolph off of it and into the center of the Sun. Much better now. I should have done the same with I Wonder as I Wander but it just scraped by while I wasn't paying attention, and Face of Love is so gorgeous it overcomes the presence of Nedra.
Everything else on the record?
Hi, Randy!! Nice to see you!!!!
Same! I actually really like the songs Jewel sings with Nedra on this album.... and I don't think I can stop now!
She did a Christmas, Austin City Limits...I think, somewhere around '99. She had those brown suede pants on...she sounded angelic, but man did she look pissed. I always liked the Letterman version of "Face of Love", sans Nedra.

 "Didn't Los Angeles Downtown have diagonal scrambles at intersections years ago? Why does it seem that traffic has become chaotic since the introduction of them?"

Hollywood and Vine's new diagonal crosswalks - photos by Joe Linton/Streetsblog L.A.
This story sponsored by Los Angeles Metro to remind readers of traffic pattern changes resulting from Purple Line Construction. Unless noted in the story, Metro is not consulted for the content or editorial direction of the sponsored content.
Unfortunately, hearing one high-profile success story over and over ends up underscoring the lack of breadth of city interventions to keep all Angelenos safe from traffic violence.
Sorry to put a down spin on an article that should be a celebration.
Last week, the Hollywood/Highland scramble was joined by a new diagonal crossing nine blocks east at the intersection of Hollywood and Vine Street. The city also added a triple scramble last year along MacArthur Park.
The Hollywood/Vine scramble is very similar to Hollywood/Highland. They are both awesome. They both serve adjacent Red Line subway stations. They see large numbers of tourists visiting the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Kudos to the Department of Transportation and L.A. City Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell for making this happen. More please!
Do they still ban pedestrians from crossing concurrently with traffic moving in the same direction?
When you see these intersections….doesn’t it strike you that they should have had these scrambles years ago?
YES – Los Angeles Downtown had this at every intersection. It create on massive traffic jam. This is nothing NEW, if people check history and why it failed this would never have happened.
Where Should ‘Barnes Dance’ Diagonal Scramble Crosswalks Go?

 Describe the end of the NSA phone metadata bulk collection program.

November 28 2015, 11:14 p.m.
The National Security Agency no longer has legal authority to collect phone metadata in bulk as of midnight, Saturday, November 28. The executive branch previously claimed the government possessed such authority under Section 215 of 2001’s USA PATRIOT Act, which gave the FBI power to demand “any tangible things” needed “for an investigation to obtain foreign intelligence information.” The FBI was thus able to obtain the phone records of millions of Americans from U.S. telecommunications companies and turn them over to the NSA.
The USA FREEDOM Act, signed into law on June 2 earlier this year, gave the executive branch 180 days to wind down the bulk collection program. According to the Tumblr of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the government is “prohibited from collecting telephone metadata records in bulk” starting November 29. The executive branch will now be able to obtain phone metadata by asking the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to order telecommunications companies to turn over specific records.
The end of the bulk collection program is a modest but real victory for former NSA contractor and whistleblower Edward Snowden, who provided documents concerning the program to Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald, co-founding editors of The Intercept. The first article by Greenwald based on the documents leaked by Snowden, published on June 6, 2013, was about the bulk collection program.

 Describe the details of the murder case of Sheila Bonge by Wendell Earl Popejoy.

A Michigan man charged with murdering his neighbor confessed to killing the woman after seeing her blowing snow out of his driveway, court records show.
Wendell Earl Popejoy, 63, of Ottawa County, confessed to shooting his neighbor, Sheila Bonge, 59, according to court documents obtained by the Grand Haven Tribune. Popejoy, who had no prior criminal record, told Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office Detective Anne Koster that he “made the decision” to kill the woman after seeing Bonge outside on Dec. 26, blowing snow from the easement driveway in front of his home in the 14000 block of 104th Avenue.
Police found Bonge’s body two days later. She had been reported missing by relatives earlier that week after last being seen on Dec. 24 at her home, MLive.com reports. Popejoy was arrested on Dec. 29 and was arraigned Tuesday in Grand Haven District Court on charges of open murder and using a firearm in commission of a felony.
Details of the relationship between Bonge and Popejoy are unclear, but a friend of Bonge’s told WZZM that she had ongoing disputes with several neighbors. One of the woman’s neighbors — not Popejoy — unsuccessfully sought a protection order against Bonge and her fiancé, according to court documents obtained by the station. The order, pertaining to a disagreement regarding Bonge’s use of an easement, was not granted, however.
Deputies from the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office had been called to the neighborhood more than five times recently for disputes between neighbors, WOOD reports.
Bonge’s family, meanwhile, said they’re still “in shock due to the heinous nature” of the crime, according to a statement released to the station.
An online fundraiser has been established in Bonge’s memory and to help offset funeral expenses.
Popejoy remains held without bail at the Ottawa County Jail, records show. He’s due to return to court for a probable cause conference Jan. 10, according to Grand Haven Tribune.

 Explain why the San Diego Chargers do not plan to trade Philip Rivers this offseason. Respond in 241 words.

Published: March 24, 2015 at 12:36 p.m.
Updated: March 24, 2015 at 03:06 p.m.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported last week that the San Diego Chargers have no intention of trading Philip Rivers this offseason.
General manager Tom Telesco confirmed that stance Monday, via ESPN.com's Eric Williams, at the NFL Annual Meeting.
"It's not even on our radar," Telesco said. "He's a Charger."
We connected the dots from Rivers to the Tennessee Titans after the Bolts quarterback told U-T San Diego that he had reservations about a potential franchise move to Los Angeles and wanted to play out his contract to maintain control over his future in 2016.
Telesco made it clear, however, that Rivers won't be dealt for the Titans' No. 2 overall draft pick -- or any other package.
"He's our guy," Telesco explained. "Like I've said before, we'd like to extend him. And when he's ready to do that, we'll get moving on it."
Coach Mike McCoy was just as emphatic on Tuesday, telling reporters that Rivers is "one of the best in the business."
"The only thing I'm worried about is this next season. We can't worry about 2016 and beyond," McCoy added to NFL Media's Tiffany Blackmon. "He's under contract for this year, and we plan on Philip Rivers retiring a Charger."
The Chargers' position on Rivers is understandable. Armed with leverage provided by the franchise tag, NFL teams simply don't trade proven franchise quarterbacks.

 Respond in 11 sentences. Please provide an explanation for the word "tranche."

In French, tranche means "slice." Cutting deeper into the word's etymology, we find the Old French word trancer, meaning "to cut." Tranche emerged in the English language in the late 19th century to describe financial appropriations. Today, it is often used specifically of an issue of bonds that is differentiated from other issues by such factors as maturity or rate of return. Another use of the French word tranche is in the French phrase une tranche de vie, meaning "a cross section of life." That phrase was coined by the dramatist Jean Jullien (1854-1919), who advocated naturalism in the theater.
These example sentences are selected automatically from various online news sources to reflect current usage of the word 'tranche.' Views expressed in the examples do not represent the opinion of Merriam-Webster or its editors. Send us feedback.

 Explain the implications of Walgreens' failed merger with Rite Aid. Respond in detail.

Rite Aid (rad) shares took a massive dive on Friday after Bloomberg News reported that prospective suitor Walgreens Boots Alliance (wba) had failed to assuage the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s anti-trust concerns about the drugstore chains’ proposed merger.
The news agency, citing two anonymous sources, said that Walgreens’ plan announced last month to sell 865 drugstores to tiny regional rival Fred’s (fred) for $950 million hadn’t convince the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s lawyers to sign off on the deal. The clock is ticking with only one week left before the companies’ deadline to seal the $9.4 billion merger of the No. 2 and 3 U.S. drugstore chains.
When it announced the deal with Fred’s last month, WBA said that if the FTC demanded a larger divestiture, Fred’s would be compelled to buy additional Rite Aid stores.
Rite Aid shares fell as much as 19% to $6.95 on the Bloomberg news before paring those losses. Walgreens declined to comment to Fortune.
The deal would push WBA past CVS Health (cvs) in the drugstore count and would help it expand its prescriptions business. But Bloomberg reported that the FTC is worried that the Fred’s deal wouldn’t do enough to preserve competition. If the deal doesn’t clear antitrust clearance, Walgreens would have to pay Rite Aid a termination fee of $325 million or $650 million “in certain circumstances,” according to a company filing.
The hesitation is not entirely surprising given how the FTC last year pushed back on a number of mega-deals, notably scuttling Staples’ $5.5 billion plan this year to buy office supplies rival Office Depot.
As recently as September, WBA had said it would likely have to divest between 500 and 1,000 stores, more than its previous estimate of 500 locations, to win the FTC’s. Walgreens operates roughly 8,200 U.S. stores and competes most directly with CVS Health, which has a roughly the same amount of stores. Rite Aid has about 5,000 stores. As for Fred’s, the deal would turn it from a small regional player into one of the biggest national players.
