| To my (very tall) daughter Posted: 20 Mar 2015 07:15 PM PDT  HuffPost Parents You've said good night to the Moon and the Gorilla, successfully counted One or Two Red or Blue Fish, and finally tucked Junie B. Jones back on the shelf. Congrats! Now, it's time for your Bedtime Story -- one can't-miss article to soothe your frazzled parent brain at the end of the day. Happy reading, and we'll see you tomorrow.
8 Things My Very Tall Daughter Can Expect
By Ali Solomon
You can't escape your genes, my dear girl. I was 5'9" by the time I was in fourth grade. Your father tops out at around 6'3". That means you will be very, very tall. Not quite "America's Next Top Model" tall, or WNBA tall. More like "stuck in the back of every class photo" tall, or "can you reach the soup on that top shelf for me, dear?" tall. This will not be the social coup you think; like your parents, you may endure your share of taunts and nastiness, with the promise of someday you'll appreciate being tall to carry you through.
As you continue your upward trajectory, here are a few things you can expect.

"Often in Iranian families it is traditional to open Hafiz, see which page of poetry one has opened and read it aloud and try to feel whether it has any omen for the coming year," Jamsheed Choksy, a professor of Iranian studies at Indiana University, told The Huffington Post.

Netanyahu's scaremongering against Arab voters and dashing of a two-state solution (his bad faith post-election backtrack notwithstanding) dispels two long-held illusions at once: that Israeli democracy would be inclusive or that Palestinians would have their own state. If there is no room for Palestinians anywhere, then what?
In an exclusive interview with the Huffington Post, (full interview to be released Saturday), U.S. President Barack Obama addresses the Israeli election, Iran and other issues. Writing from Amman, prominent Palestinian journalist Daoud Kuttab draws the logical conclusion from Israel's election results that Palestinians must now pursue their own unilateral path and that the world community should no longer feel bound to defend Israel in international institutions.
Israeli scholar Josef Olmert attributes Netanyahu's victory to the "we" vs. "them" appeal to voters who feel under siege. Writing from Tel Aviv, former Israeli Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami analyzes how the fear and mistrust of the rest of the world that drives the Israeli right dominated the election.
Danish scholar Joergen Oerstroem Moeller warns that the kind of "nationalism, populism and xenophobia" we are witnessing these days can lead to the abyss of a "new dark age." Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown tackles the issue of the growing militarization of schools to make them safe from marauding extremists whether in Pakistan or South Sudan.

Writing from Beijing, Xiong Lei examines how social media is taking on the environmental issue in China with the viral popularity of an online documentary about pollution, "Under the Dome." WorldPost China Correspondent Matt Sheehan asks Chinese Premier Li Keqiang directly about whether the big oil and gas companies in China are resisting his efforts to clean up corruption and pollution. He also reports on how LGBT couples from China are going to Los Angeles to get married. Also writing from Beijing, I argue that the Western media missed the significance of the just completed National People's Congress annual gathering that moved China forward on its long march toward the rule of law.

First piece of Bertha removed from the access pit Seattle Tunnel Partners has successfully hoisted the first piece of the SR 99 tunneling machine to the surface for repairs. Crews lifted the machine's 270-ton upper body to the surface on Thursday afternoon. Three more pieces of the machine will be removed from the pit as part of STP’s repair plan, which this narrated video (links to YouTube) explains in detail. Up next, crews will lift the upper right and upper left sections of the machine – both of which weigh less than 100 tons. The final lift will bring to the surface Bertha’s massive cutterhead and main drive unit, which weigh a combined 2,000 tons. Watch a time-lapse video of the lift taken from the perspective of the crane operator. You can track the action on our construction cameras. We’ll also continue to post photos and videos as STP’s work progresses. Plan ahead: SR 99 closures set for weekend of March 27 Highway construction and a regular inspection of the Alaskan Way Viaduct will close portions SR 99 through Seattle during the weekend of March 27-29.

Amazon Expands Free 2-Hour Delivery to Baltimore, Miami  Amazon on Thursday expanded Prime Now, its one-hour fulfillment service, to select ZIP codes in Miami and Baltimore. The service -- which delivers thousands of products, including groceries -- eventually will blanket both cities. Strategically placed warehouses in Baltimore and Miami now can respond to orders placed using the Prime Now app. Prime Now made its debut in New York City in December. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/81852.html Did VMware Flout Open Source License Terms?  The Software Freedom Conservancy earlier this month announced that it was funding a lawsuit filed by Linux kernel developer Christoph Hellwig against VMware in the district court of Hamburg in Germany. The conservancy entered a grant agreement with Hellwig for the legal action. Its funding of the legal action is part of the program activity of its GPL Compliance Project for Linux Developers. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/81850.html Quosal Lets Salespeople Add Video Spiels to Quotes  Quosal has announced a new feature that lets salespeople record a personal explanatory video to go with their quotes and proposals. Videos can be posted directly to Quosal's proprietary Order Porter purchasing experience for clients. "If the video can take the load off of having to read all of a proposal -- or, more likely, explain some gray areas -- then great," said analyst Denis Pombriant. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/81849.html PlayStation Vue Could Put Cable TV in Rear-View Mirror  Sony on Wednesday launched its PlayStation Vue streaming service in New York City, Chicago and Philadelphia. A combination of live and on-demand TV with a cloud-based DVR, Vue is available on the PS4 and PS3 in those cities. Users' favorite shows and channels will be right on the home screen whenever they fire up the service. The DVR lets users save favorite shows and store them for up to 28 days. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/81846.html SXSW Runs on Wireless Carriers' Well-Oiled Machines  At this year's South by Southwest Conferences and Festivals in Austin, Texas, more than 150,000 new people have entered the major wireless carriers' network space. Nearly every one of them has a phone for making voice calls or using the Web. How do wireless carriers handle such a demand surge? That's one of the big challenges facing AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/81845.html Apple's TV Plans Come Into Focus  Apple is expected to launch a Web-TV service this fall, offering 25 channels of content from various providers. Its pending move "is yet another sign that the traditional pay-TV provider lock on programming distribution continues to erode," said IDC analyst Greg Ireland. "The availability of more options ... will attract attention from cord- cutters and current pay-TV subscribers alike." http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/81844.html Nintendo Makes the Leap to Smartphones and Tablets  Nintendo has reached an agreement that will see its beloved intellectual property finally arrive on mobile devices, CEO Satoru Iwata announced Tuesday at a hastily called briefing. Mobile publisher DeNA and Nintendo have entered a capital alliance, in which they'll trade a portion of their stock and develop games for smart devices. Nintendo will acquire 10 percent of DeNA's outstanding shares. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/81842.html How to Advertise in This Newsletter To advertise in this newsletter or elsewhere on ECT News Network, please call our sales department toll-free at (877) 328-5500, or view our online media kit at http://www.ectnews.com/advertising/ Subscribing and Unsubscribing You are receiving this newsletter in response to your request on the E-Commerce Times Web site for our daily newsletter.

This is the first 1.5-mile segment of a 4.3-mile tunnel for trains running from Northgate Mall to the University of Washington starting in 2021. Brenda launched last July from the Maple Leaf Portal at Northeast 92nd Street just east of Interstate 5 and south of Northgate Mall. It will undergo maintenance at the site before continuing south and connecting later with the University of Washington Station, which opens for University Link service early next year. A second tunnel boring machine, nicknamed “Pamela,” launched from the Maple Leaf Portal last November and is expected to arrive at the Roosevelt site this summer. By the time tunneling is finished, more than 500,000 cubic yards of soil will have been excavated and over 7,200 concrete rings used to line the tunnels. See how a tunnel boring machine works. Link closure coming up Here’s an early heads up that on the weekend of March 28 and 29, Link trains will run only between Mount Baker Station and SeaTac/Airport Station. During the closure, special free buses will take riders between Mount Baker Station and the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel. That weekend, Sound Transit and King County Metro will run a special Route 97 serving Stadium Station and all stops in the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel. Beacon Hill and SODO Station riders will be directed to existing bus routes. The Saturday and Sunday closure is necessary for contractors to continue upgrading safety systems to prepare for the University Link light rail extension that is opening early next year. Here are details on the shutdown. Hack the Commute Seattle You might recall that a couple weeks ago Sound Transit and King County Metro got together to announce the expansion of access to our transit data. Doing so, we believe, will benefit transit riders in our region either through apps or mobile-friendly websites. I mention this because this evening is the kickoff for the City of Seattle’s “Hack the Commute Seattle” where data analysts, developers, designers and other innovators are getting together to help design user-centric tools to improve the commute. Sound Transit, as well as King County Metro and the State Department of Transportation, are among the sponsors of the event, which will last through the weekend. Teams will have the opportunity to present their work to a panel of judges, with the top three project ideas moving on to a championship round. Work will be judged on its potential to make commuting in Seattle easier and more pleasant. Learn more at Hack the Commute. U Link and bus service Thanks to all who made it out to Seattle University Thursday evening for the first of three public meetings to go over concepts for changing bus service after University Link light rail opens in early 2016. So far, more than 4,000 have taken an online survey on the concepts. Sound Transit, King County Metro Transit and the City of Seattle are working together to improve bus service and keep traffic moving once University Link opens with stations on Capitol Hill and the University of Washington near Husky Stadium. You can view the concepts for changing bus service here. At the upcoming public meetings, March 25, 6-8 p.m. at Bellevue City Hall and March 26, 6-8 p.m. at University Heights Center, riders can speak with Metro and Sound Transit staff about how they might use transit once U Link is open. Working together to revise and improve the transit network is part of the transit integration initiative from Dow Constantine, King County Executive and Chair of the Sound Transit Board of Directors. Mike Harbour, Sound Transit Deputy CEO

But that wasn't the case with Marc Ambinder, who alleged in a piece in Politico on Sunday that Secret Service agents had crashed into a White House barricade while drunk earlier in March. When surveillance footage showed a much less dramatic sequence of events -- the car was going 1-2 miles per hour, and merely nudged a traffic barrel -- Ambinder felt the need to apologize. Politico didn't. So while the outlet is standing by the piece, Ambinder took to The Week, where we was previously a contributing editor, to admit he was wrong. "I have no excuse other than that I was basing my opinion on the facts that other news outlets had reported," he wrote. "Because I've long admired the Secret Service, I went off the deep end when I read about the latest incident. I should have slowed down and waited until we knew more.". — Gabriel Arana (@gabrielarana) PULLQUOTE “I never bought that, that Fox is the conservative network.” — Fox host Bill O'Reilly TOP STORIES Marc Ambinder's Apology For Politico Magazine Piece Doesn't Run In Politico Magazine Marc Ambinder did something Friday that's quite rare among journalists: He admitted to being wrong. Ambinder's piece -- "How I unfairly maligned two Secret Service agents in Politico Magazine" -- served as a public apology for an earlier story of Ambinder's that appeared in Politico Magazine this past Sunday. That story was based on an inaccurate report that a pair of agents had "crashed" into a White House barricade on March 4 after a late-night party. Read more.

New York Times Reporter Explains How He Broke Clinton Email Story Political scandals always breed speculation about motives, and the Clinton email story is no exception. Did Republican operatives ring the Times in order to tarnish the 2016 Democratic frontrunner? Or, perhaps, could a rival within Clinton's own party have provided the information? Or might the Clintons have leaked the story themselves to get a potentially damaging story out of the way more than 20 months before Election Day? Read more. Reuters Websites Blocked In China The news websites of Reuters, including those in English and Chinese, were inaccessible in China on Friday, after users first experienced difficulties accessing them late on Thursday.

WaPo's Jonathan Capehart Admits He's Wrong On Ferguson, Gets Called Race Traitor "The popular hands-up storyline, which isn't corroborated by ballistic and DNA evidence and multiple witness statements, was perpetuated by Witness 101," Capehart wrote. "In fact, just about everything said to the media by Witness 101, whom we all know as Dorian Johnson, the friend with Brown that day, was not supported by the evidence and other witness statements." Unsurprisingly, there's been a blowback, with a lot of the comments declaring Capehart, who is black, of racial betrayal. He addressed the response to his piece while guest-hosting Hardball on MSNBC.

This week we're talking about the socia media trend changing the way we use punctuation, the artist behind the "Broad City" graphics, a Muslim women's rap duo from England, and Syria's piano man.
Why Writing Without Punctuation Makes Us Laugh
"Today, there's a higher general level of keyboard scholarship. And so we're rid of certain hangups. Unburdened of the need to prove our online facility with perfectly formatted sentences, we're able to experiment. This has led to a writing form [linguist Gretchen] McCulloch calls 'the opposite of shouting' -- little punctuation, no capitalization, essentially a run-on sentence." (Read more here)
Meet Mike Perry, The Artist Behind Those Trippy 'Broad City' Graphics
"Like the show itself, the hand-drawn intros [of "Broad City"] are colorful, weird, and grotesque in the best ways possible. One animation takes the form of a pimple popping, revealing a kaleidoscopic geyser of neon. Another begins with a lone nipple, growing ever more juicy until it dominates the frame. There are fingers poking into belly buttons and letters puking up other letters in candy colors. For all this animated brilliance, we have artist Mike Perry to thank." (Read more here)
Poetic Pilgrimage Is The Muslim Women's Rap Duo The World Needs Right Now
"Poetic Pilgrimage isn't just a rap group -- it's a statement about Islam, women and what it means to belong. Muneera Williams and Sukina Owen-Douglas, both born and raised in Bristol, England, to Jamaican migrant parents, make up Poetic Pilgrimage, a rap duo that explores topics of gender, faith, citizenship and heritage."

'I Love Lucy & Bekka' Creator Talks Female Friendships, Diversity And Gang-Bang Porn
"Roommates Lucy and Bekka, played, respectively, by Kristolyn Lloyd ('The Bold and the Beautiful') and Gina Rodriguez ('Jane The Virgin'), are the main focus of the Los Angeles-set web series, which was released in full on YouTube late last month. The twelve episodes, each only an average of two minutes in length, cover everything from the similarities between gang bang porn and 'The Bachelor' to what crosses your mind when you find out via Facebook that a past acquaintance has died."

Syria's Piano Man Sings The Stories Of War
"On the streets of his bombed-out neighborhood, Ayham Ahmad plays a battered piano and sings the stories of Syria's war. Four years of conflict have brought his hometown of Yarmouk -- a Palestinian refugee camp on the outskirts of Damascus -- to its knees. Like many Palestinian camps around the region, Yarmouk had evolved into a built-up neighborhood over the years, home to rich and poor alike. Now, its streets have been reduced to rubble by fighting between rebels and regime forces." (Read more here)

Poet Jane Hirshfield On How To Read Poetry And Restore 'Amazement'
"To understand poetry may be as simple as experiencing the beauty of a finely wrought verse -- for example, you can read Jane Hirshfield's stunning 'Fado' here. But as the art of the poem grows less familiar to readers, who feel less sure of what poetry is meant to achieve and how they're meant to experience it, Hirshfield's thoughtful explication is vital. She reveals to us what poetry truly is, and what it can offer us."

   | | HUFFPOST HILL - Noted Academic And Drug User Sits For Interview With HuffPost Posted: 20 Mar 2015 01:40 PM PDT  Like Republican votes to defund ACORN and Northern Virginia residents at your favorite bar, Washington’s terrible weather just won’t go away. "I probably should have been more rigid and more scripted than I was," said Mitt Romney about his 2012 presidential campaign, right before plugging a USB cord into his ear and fusing his consciousness with Deep Blue. And Louie Gohmert went on Family Research Council President Tony Perkins’ radio show to discuss his hawkish foreign policy platform, because Iran’s uranium enrichment program is forcing far too many Americans to get divorced. This is HUFFPOST HILL for Friday, March 20th, 2015: President Obama sits down for an interview with peddlers of misinformation: The commander-in-chief has gone tete-a-tete for the first time with HuffPost, an outlet he recently urged his fellow Democrats not to believe. Awk. HuffPost will be publishing the contents of Sam Stein's conversation with the most powerful *feelings-hurting* man in the world over the coming hours and days. [ HuffPost] MCCONNELL GOES EXTRACURRICULAR FIGHTING COAL REGULATIONS - This is really going to eat into his LARPing meetups and LAN parties in Tom Cotton's basement. Coral Davenport: " Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has begun an aggressive campaign to block President Obama’s climate change agenda in statehouses and courtrooms across the country, arenas far beyond Mr. McConnell’s official reach and authority. The campaign of Mr. McConnell, the Senate majority leader, is aimed at stopping a set of Environmental Protection Agency regulations requiring states to reduce carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants, the nation’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions... Mr. McConnell’s Senate staff, led by his longtime senior energy adviser, Neil Chatterjee, is coordinating with lawyers and lobbying firms to try to ensure that the state plans are tangled up in legal delays...To make his case, Mr. McConnell is also relying on a network of powerful allies with national influence and roots in Kentucky or the coal industry. Within that network is Laurence H. Tribe, a highly regarded scholar of constitutional law at Harvard Law School and a former mentor of Mr. Obama’s. Mr. Tribe caught Mr. McConnell’s attention last winter when he was retained to write a legal brief for Peabody Energy, the nation’s largest coal producer, in a lawsuit against the climate rules." [ NYT] PRO TIP: Neil Chatterjee is going to be very rich one day.NARC RESIGNING - Here's hoping they let him raid the evidence locker on his last day. Roll Call: "B. Todd Jones is resigning as director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives weeks after the agency abandoned a plan to ban some bullets. Jones’ departure, effective on March 31, could mean another long slog for the agency without a confirmed director, especially given the controversy over the abandoned AR-15 bullet ban and the politically explosive gun control debate heading into an election year...Jones had been the acting director since 2011 and was confirmed in 2013 after barely clearing a cloture vote. Jones’s deputy, Thomas E. Brandon, will serve as acting director after Jones departs." [ Roll Call] Paul Ryan urged state lawmakers never to surrender to Obamacare, the Wall Street Journal reported. NOOOOOOOOOO - Bridget Bowman: "When Rep. Aaron Schock leaves Congress on March 31, his 'Downton Abbey' office will remain, though the days of the pheasant feathers and paintings could also be numbered. Whoever wins the special election for Schock’s seat in Illinois’ 18th District will inherit the Republican’s Rayburn office, but the Architect of the Capitol could repaint the bright red walls depending on the new member’s request." [ Roll Call ] DAILY DELANEY DOWNER - Congressional Republicans proposed a budget this week that could kick 11 million people off food stamps, according to an outside analysis released Friday. House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-Ga.) unveiled his spending blueprint on Tuesday. The document didn't specify how much it would reduce funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, however, and an aide wouldn't specify when The Huffington Post asked. But during a Wednesday hearing, committee staff revealed the cut would be $125 billion over 10 years, about 34 percent of program funding. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal Washington, D.C. think tank, if the savings were achieved by reducing enrollment, states would need to kick 11-12 million people off the program. Another way to save $125 billion over a decade would be to chop everyone's monthly benefits by $55. [ HuffPost] Does somebody keep forwarding you this newsletter? Get your own copy. It's free!

Follow us on Twitter - @HuffPostHill ROMNEYBOT BACK - Philip Bump: "In an interview with Yahoo!'s Katie Couric (which is still an amazing combination of words, but I digress), two-time Republican presidential hopeful Willard Mitt Romney offered a bit of sage advice crucial to those who spend any time online: Do not read the comments...'Most candidates get in trouble telling jokes!' he said, having already offered an unexpected summary of one of his 2012 flaws: ' I probably should have been more rigid and more scripted than I was.' If you haven't yet been convinced by Romney's concerns, one last point about the Internet: 'You know, there's trolling going on.'" [ WaPo] Speaking of Romney and the internet and shedding one's self of a soul: "The Royal Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has hired digital consulting firm Targeted Victory LLC - which was co-founded by Romney alumni Zac Moffat and Michael Beach - to 'provide strategic advice and digital consulting service,' according to the latest FARA disclosures. The firm will work on behalf of PR firm MLS Group." [ Politico] INSIDE THE WORLD OF POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE - Joshua Green: "On April 1, 2013...a congressional staffer named Brian Sutter passed along to a lobbyist the kind of tip that can make a savvy investor a quick fortune: Medicare was about to raise some reimbursement rates, which would be a windfall for big insurance companies. Ten minutes later the lobbyist, Mark Hayes of Greenberg Traurig, whose clients included Humana, notified an analyst at Height Securities, a small Washington investment research firm. And minutes after that, Height issued a 'lash report' to 200 investor clients, including several large hedge funds and money managers… This episode is a prime example of the shadowy Washington business of 'political intelligence'--gathering inside information on executive, legislative, and regulatory developments and selling it to Wall Street investors.. Is it legal? That’s a murkier question. SEC investigators have opened an insider-trading probe to determine whether a government employee improperly leaked the Medicare news and whether hedge funds violated securities laws by trading on the information. Humana fired Greenberg Traurig. Sutter resigned from his job on the House Ways and Means Committee staff. The SEC is fighting to subpoena him." [ Bloomberg] LOUIE GOHMERT SEES YOUR TOM COTTON AND RAISES YOU LOUIE GOHMERT - Walk softly and blow 'em all to smithereens. Paige Lavender: "Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said he thinks it's time to take drastic measures against Iran. 'It's time to bomb Iran,' Gohmert said in an interview Wednesday with Family Research Council President Tony Perkins on the radio show 'Washington Watch,' according to Right Wing Watch. 'We need to make clear to Iran: You can play these silly games with our president that buys into them and our secretary of state, but the American people aren’t buying it and you’re going to pay a price,' Gohmert added. "We have got to get that message across.'" [ HuffPost] SUPERMAJORITY OF POPULATION BRAVELY DEFENDING SELF FROM OPPRESSION - Dana Liebelson: "Indiana is expected to pass a religious freedom bill that could legalize discrimination against LGBT citizens. The legislation has language that is similar to a bill that was vetoed by Arizona's former Republican governor last year after a national outcry. The Indiana Senate passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act last month and the bill is expected to get a full House vote as early as Monday. The legislation, which is co-authored by 13 Republicans, would allow any individual or corporation to cite their religious beliefs as a defense when sued by a private party. This language is intended to protect people with strong religious beliefs, including business owners who don't want to serve same-sex couples. 'You don’t have to look too far to find a growing hostility toward people of faith,' Republican state Sen. Scott Schneider, one of the primary authors of the bill, told The Indianapolis Star last month." [ HuffPost] Our video team's roundup of the week's best political clips. 'HOW I UNFAIRLY MALIGNED TWO SECRET SERVICE AGENTS IN POLITICO MAGAZINE' - Marc Ambinder: "Barely a month into the tenure of the new director, Joseph Clancy, and two of his top guys are getting busted for an alcohol-fueled drunken-driving cover-up... It seemed to fit the pattern of misconduct that cast a pall over the storied agency. But the original story now seems to be greatly exaggerated and includes information that isn't correct. In fact, the agents in question deserve an apology from those of us to who repeated the facts without slowing down and bothering to check them out...The party, a retirement celebration for Ed Donovan, the agency's former top spokesman, ended at 7:30 pm. It played essentially no role in the incident, except for the fact that the two agents in question had attended it much earlier in the evening. The agents' whereabouts for the next three hours are more relevant to the story, but since they aren't known yet, reporting that they drove to the White House after leaving the party of a colleague plays into a familiar recital: namely, that agents at the party failed to take the two men aside and intervene before they drove off. I bought into it, not knowing otherwise." [ The Week] BECAUSE YOU'VE READ THIS FAR - Here's a dog answering "yes" and "no."Old Jewish man moves to Florida: "Paul Wolfowitz, the former World Bank president and deputy defense secretary under George W. Bush, bought a condominium for just over $1 million at the posh 400 Beach Drive complex in St. Petersburg, Florida, according to Pinellas County records. The visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington has ties to the area through his friendship with Republican grandee Mel Sembler and via his frequent visits to U.S. Central Command in Tampa, reports the Tampa Bay Times, noting that Wolfowitz’s father also once taught at University of South Florida."
