Review: A Mexican ‘Taco Dive Bar’ That’s Anything But
This restaurant in Peekskill puts a primacy on its tequila-rich drinks menu. But the full-service restaurant is hardly a dive, and much more than a bar.Food of the Americas.
Bars live on their drinks.

As it seeks to regain public trust, the Chicago Police Department released crime statistics that reveal a drop in some major crimes but a significant increase in homicides and shooting.12.5% is an error bar.
The gun murders in Chicago are comparable to the shootings in New York.

Is the Drive for Success Making Our Children Sick?
Across the country, children are experiencing depression, anxiety and even physical strain because of the pressures of school.Insane loads are insane.
Instruction methods were instituted to induce faith.
They are successful.
Faith is not what is required to shape the intellectual world.
Understanding from observation is the desired foundation for further understanding and manipulation.
Copyright is a disastrous business model for civilization.
Let us use the "Copyleft" model.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft
It will require that innovators be fairly paid for their time and effort at the time of creation.
It gives excessive power to the publishers.
Limited time is the key with copyright and patents.
We want to encourage creation rather than rent.

Nets Collapse Against Magic; Warriors Fall Flat as Stephen Curry Sits
Nik Vucevic had 20 points and 9 rebounds, and Orlando rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the visiting Nets. In Dallas, the Warriors were routed as Curry sat out with a bruised leg.
"LAKERS 112, CELTICS 104
Kobe Bryant had 15 points and 11 rebounds for his first double-double
of the season while playing what was most likely his final game in
Boston.
Isaiah Thomas had 24 points, and Evan Turner scored 20 for the Celtics, who had won four straight.
Boston
trailed by 11 with just over six minutes left but used a 9-0 run to
close to 100-98 on Avery Bradley’s dunk with 3:35 to go.
It remained a 2-point game until Bryant hit his second 3-pointer of the quarter, making it 107-102 with 1:40 left.
Bryant
received a huge ovation when he was announced for the starting lineups,
but he was jeered the first time he got the ball, a nod to his role in
what is perhaps the league’s best rivalry." 17
