Belgium: Nigel Farage speaks to the European Parliament - FULL SPEECH
Yesterday, with my fellow EU commissioners, I attended the extraordinary session in the European parliament. Some photos particularly of my right hand and videos have spread on social media. You will have seen me grimacing and trying to hide my despair while Nigel Farage spoke.
I have enjoyed reading the many comments and can confirm that I do indeed appreciate British humour. But as tweets were exchanged I felt it was important to share some more serious thoughts on how I felt in the parliament.
I was, and still am, fully with all the British people. I am with all those who voted against financial speculation uncovered in the Panama Papers and with those who voted against unemployment and decreasing standards of living. However, sadly, many votes will have been influenced by the lies spread by some representatives of the leave campaign.
Nigel Farage tells MEPs: most of you have never done a proper job video
I am also with those who voted to remain in the EU, who want to create a better future for their families, and who believe that it is possible together, united in diversity, to fight against corporate greed and fraud perpetrated by financial transnational capitalism.
Toxic untruths spread by Farage and others, such as claims that money Britain contributes to the EU budget would be used for investments in healthcare, have now been revealed as lies.

In my heart, two symbols of this referendum remain both of them are very different. One is the assassination of Labour MP Jo c*x, and the other is of Jonathan Hill.
Jo c*x was killed because of people instigating hate, chauvinism and phobias. These are brutal forces infecting our democracies, destroying security and the values we hold so dearly in Europe.
Lord Hill was decisive, and stepped down. This is an example of moral self-determination, taking responsibility and embracing the consequences. This is in stark contrast to the actions of some others who personify political hypocrisy.
Britain is changing. Young people in Scotland, Northern Ireland or London want to see a different future. The EU is changing as well. For me its future lies in social justice and security. This is the way forward. And only together, with the EU member states, with the European parliament, and with a decisive European council avoiding the cacophony and constant bashing of Brussels can we achieve this together.

Football lost one of its most innovative minds in the history of the game when Buddy Ryan passed away Tuesday at the age of 82.
Ryan was the architect behind the Chicago Bears vaunted "46" defense that will go down as the most dominant in NFL history. Many probably dont know, however, about that time back in 1998 a few years after Ryan left the sidelines that he conjured up a scheme that would shut down the mighty Nebraska offense when the Huskers were the defending national champs.
Brian Yauger a disciple of Buddys son, Rob, who I wrote about in April as the former football coach who became the most connected man in the Washington marijuana industry had an amazing story about Buddy.
Once during spring football when Yauger and Rob were still at Oklahoma State, Buddy was visiting whilethey were game-planning about how to slow down Nebraskas option attack in the fall. The year before, the Huskers led the nation in scoring and beat its four ranked opponents by an average of four touchdowns apiece.
Buddy: Why dont you run "Jet"?
Rob: "What the (bleep) is "Jet"?"
Buddy: Its what TCU used to beat Oklahoma with in the 40s.
Huh?
The elder Ryan popped up from his chair and went to the board to draw it up. The two defensive tackles were lined up so wide that all three linebackers were set inside of them.
"We all looked at each other cross-eyed," Yauger said. "It was like this old man has flipped his lid. It was so unconventional. It didnt look like anything anybody else was doing."
The next day, the Cowboys ran the scheme during practice just as Buddy has drawn it up.
"I"m thinking, "Oh my gosh, this actually might work,"" Yauger said.
Rob Ryan eventually tweaked it some, so the SAM and WIL linebackers were hugged up on the tackles" heels in the B-gaps and the MIK linebacker was moved back to seven yards deep (they were normally at four yards deep). The OSU coaches also had their defensive tackles adjust their footwork a bit, so they took one step towards the offensive tackles before they pinched inside.
When OSU finally faced Nebraska in that season, the Huskers were No. 2 in the nation. Jet gave mighty Nebraska fits. The Huskers managed just 215 total yards with only 73 on the ground the teams lowest regular-season output in 23 years. Nebraska only scored one field goal in the first half. This was just a week after Nebraska ran for 434 yards against the No. 9 team in the country, defeating the Washington Huskies, 55-7.
"It looked like there was this giant hole, but what screwed everybody up was the two outside linebackers were keying off the fullback and we were ending up with five guys in four gaps and one of those guys always came free," Yauger explained. "It changed the timing of the way everybody flowed.
"When I think about it, this was really just the 46 flipped upside down because in the 46 you have three D-linemen lined up over the center and the two guards."
You can see the defense in action here:
Nebraska kept trying to block the MIK, which enabled somebody else to always come free. Oklahoma State ran Jet about 30-35 percent of the game against Nebraska, Yauger estimated.
"If anybody really figured it out, I guess they would"ve quarterback sneaked it against us," Yauger said. "They would"ve gotten three, four, five yards probably every time and then we would"ve had to get out of it."
Despite the success of Jet, the game was tied at 17-17 in the fourth quarter when Nebraska scored on a 73-yard punt return to win the game.
"d**n punt return," Yauger says shaking his head.
He said they ran the scheme the rest of the season at Oklahoma Stateand that Rob Ryan told him he still broke it out in the NFL from time to time back when he was the Raiders defensive coordinator when they were trying to stop LaDainian Tomlinson and the Chargers because it also was really a good scheme against "12" personnel and offenses that used one running back and two-tight end formations.
"It really was the beauty of what Buddy did defensively," Yauger said. "He always had more guys than you could block."

By now, any true Potterhead knows which Hogwarts house they"d be sorted into -- even if they vociferously disagree with the official Sorting Hat quiz (Gryffindor?Really?).
Now, you have a whole new personality test to get excited about with the JK Rowling-penned test for the American wizarding school, Ilvermorney.
The American school is part of the publicity and mythology for the upcoming movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," which takes place in the New World instead of Jolly Old England. You can read the whole "history" of the Massachusetts-based school here.
Of course, it wouldn"t be the Potterverse if there wasn"t a quiz that let you neatly define yourself within a set of vague personality traits by answering cryptic and seemingly bizarre questions.
The four American houses are steeped in Native American history, which has spurred some accusations of cultural appropriation from. Here are the four houses:
Thunderbird: Based on a common figure from multiple tribes, this creature is believed to bring thunder (and sometimes lightning). In wizarding terms, it represents the soul of wizards and favors the adventurous. Think of this as your Gryffindor.
Horned Serpent: A dragon-like creature found in many myths of tribes in the Eastern U.S. For the magically inclined, it represents the mind of the wizard and is renowned for its scholars. Yup, we"ve found Ravenclaw.
Pukwudgie: Magical little people in Algonquin beliefs, similar to European fairies, they can be helpful or dangerous in turn. Clearly, this is the best house. It represents the heart of a wizard and is famous for its healers. Welcome to Hufflepuff, friends.
Wampus: Rooted in Cherokee folklore, the cat-like creature is seen as a protector in Native stories -- but a menace in the stories of white Appalachian settlers. In Rowling"s world, it represents the body of a wizard and is warriors. So, kinda Slytherin-esque.
Which house are you? Only one way to find out. Take the quiz and report back.
Hall of famers Buddy Ryan and Pat Summit pass away on the same day
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) --
Ginny Lasco saw Buddy Ryan through a different prism than most of us.
"There was nobody like him. There"s never going to be another guy like him," Lasco said.
Lasco was a young woman working in television when she tagged along with a photographer to a Philadelphia Eagles practice and first met Buddy Ryan. It was 1986.
The pair started chatting, hit it off immediately, and became close friends for years to come.
"To me, he was a father figure. He was very dad-like. That"s what drew me to him plus his sense of humor. We were constantly laughing and being smart alecs," Lasco said.
Lasco talked about the fun times she and Ryan shared as she looked through treasured photos at her Manayunk home.
"We started having lunch every Tuesday at a place at the end of the practice field when it was down at the old stadium. We"d have eggplant parmigiana and two beers every single time we went," Lasco said.
A longtime horse enthusiast, Ryan named two horses after Lasco.
"The first was Ginny"s Pursuit which sounds weird, but it was the offspring of a horse named Pursuit and the second one was Lucky Lasco. Yeah, I won $90 on him one time," Lasco said.
This city might remember Ryan as blunt, brash, often foul-mouthed, even physical at times. Lasco grew to know and love a kinder, gentler side of a man some considered a football genius.
"I mean he touches everybody. He"s so generous and so kind and always cared about what was going on in your life," Lasco said.
Ryan bought Lasco a new winter coat every year concerned she wasn"t staying warm.
She thinks they last spoke by phone about three years ago. He couldn"t communicate very clearly and she knew she would soon learn of his passing. A friend called with the sad news Tuesday morning.
"It"s heartbreaking. I mean he was suffering. And now, he"s with his wife, in heaven," Lasco said.
Elizabeth Warren Hits the Campaign Trail With Hillary Clinton in Ohio—Embarrasses Herself
A great parlor game is "Who will be Hillary Clinton"s vice presidential choice?" When you say Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the knee-jerk responses are often "Two women?" "Forget it." "It will never sell." "We"re not ready." "Not good chemistry." Here"s an argument for why Hillary Clinton should select Elizabeth Warren.
Conventional wisdom is that every presidential election is a 404020 proposition. That is, 40 percent of us will vote for the Democrat, 40 percent for the Republican and the 20 percent who are left make up what we call the persuadable vote. But that wisdom has become problematic, at least since 2000. We have become so partisan and so polarized that many of us argue that we really have a 48484 electorate, where only 4 percent of voters are really still thinking it over.
If the name of the game is winning, and that means getting 270 electoral votes, what would be the best strategy for Hillary Clinton? Does she waste a lot of time going after that 4 percent or does she maximize turnout among key groups that have traditionally been stalwarts for Democrats? These include progressives, young voters, working-class whites, women and marginalized groups. I think she should take the second option.
What Bernie had going for him was excitement among progressives, millennials and white working-class Democrats and independents. Exit polls indicate dramatic increases in the percentage of voters who actually call themselves "liberals." Millennials want a new political game, and working-class whites want a better deal when it comes to economic well-being.
Elizabeth Warren is on fire. She is exciting. She appeals to all three of these groups and can enhance turnout among them. She gives the Democratic ticket street cred when it comes to the progressive issues Bernie addressed, including student debt, income inequality and going after Wall street and the 1 percent.
Like Hillary, she is at the forefront of wanting to address traditional Democratic positions climate change, gun safety, immigration reform, universal health care, social security, equal pay for equal work, paid family leave and women"s health. And, as an attack dog, going after Donald Trump seems to be a passion though Hillary really does not need much help here.

Turning out progressives, young voters, women, African-Americans, Hispanics, the LGBT community and other marginalized groups worked for President Barack Obama. That"s the formula; getting the base excited and turning it out. Elizabeth can help Hillary make it happen.
Will Secretary Clinton select Sen. Warren? Clinton is known to be cautious and risk averse. By selecting the senator, Clinton will demonstrate that she is both bold and willing to make gutsy decisions.
But it would be out of character. While polling shows Warren is the leading choice among activist Democrats for all the reasons listed above, Hillary is likely to play it safe. Look for Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine to be her running mate.
