For those of you sad pandas who couldn't make JS.geo on Tuesday, we will give a quick intro as to why scheduling was so hard this year, a quick tour of some of the amazing demos, highlights of the discussion from the day, and wrap up with what we would like to do to see it go smoother next year. Be there or be square (actually all that would happen is you would miss out on the coolest tech demo'ed at FOSS4G)!

so welcome to the summary of GAS TO 2014 at the subtitle for this is peril of a few schmooze putting on a conference so I mean this recent history in here so that we can often not repeat this history next year goes in the holds you all responsible for so how many went to jail geo 2013 to write and period that she would be about it was also on the court co-organizers that it is basically Chris Hellman here brand to many myself saying hey there's a lot happening with JavaScript and NGO we should have a conference just about that there's no were really talk about it so then Peter and Chris and Brian are all in the front range in the Denver area so peer did most of the organizing in 2013 and we have this really fun conference that was kind nonchalant you know we were just kind of like this person and have that person there doing cool stuff never happened so that we can do it next to that was so lots of everybody 1 day and like this to the San Francisco we need some of those institution like Oakland and San Francisco to come talk about the cool JavaScript's up there doing so lucky as did so I'm in the bay area that has a that putting that together so that I get somebody who gets a venue for us test the SFS you sentences to state university and so for those cases were all most of us all geography people here the where so imagine if you will see Francisco then fun part of San Francisco over here all the interesting stuff it's as as you all over here and no good public transit to get to it from the SFS you the stuff really that's OK it cheap then you the we don't have that much sponsors and world anew and love there's no money and which are the prices that this year was 20 bucks 1st the right and so it's not a big so it will have it there and then we started talking
really it straight cheap and then it turns out all of you want that whole you have to pay for the union to move all chairs 0 anyone bring India wall of the union and the caterer conserve the beer and just became this huge nightmare and is not like a lot of so we cancel that eventually then Chris says all nothing's happening dismissed schedule in Washington DC when no 1 else can make it and recurse come on really as we're also with about that now and were like OK we're having the fall who got time for the fall so then we're still searching around for and usage around the venue and then finally Darrell comes through and says he has had a phosphor G and part of what I'm telling you all this how many you track this event all year were somewhat all your energy what's the date move around right so chris DeVoney that well if you haven't met helm he's kind like a lab dog but the Labrador retriever but he's super excited to do stuff and really happy in all good and some messages gets a little overzealous knocks over the loss on the table so he's like left and right so yeah i this date work wholly locked in knowledge this they were told it was like 5 different times we said this is the date and as a Chris stop doing and that post up new duties so finally when Darryl came through the were of great will have on the Saturday we don't interfere with all the main talks will have on the Saturday after words and then Chris of we say that the date Crystal rank select node can have on saturday I can't make it on that Saturday and I can having trouble getting speakers find Miller have during the during the workshop on tuesday so I've got a workshop on that day but you know if you're gonna be there and hosted by but due on Tuesday and so this is all an Austin your what this is not jobs that but I wanna give you some history on this is so you understand what's the word tried before for next year so then Chris is told by his work you can't go the phosphor year anything so now Chris is no longer going on Tuesday and I'm doing the half-day because like I have a workshop at a scatter last changed the like it's book completely but you can change so then brine too much too many again step back in and the NCP today so that's also why the afternoon stuff on their reliance on the people who were there to talk about because I was just there for the morning right so that I'm going to get to the take home about what this means for next year or in the future later and so on the day be basically it was again and a pretty informal event you bought a ticket and you came in and the the squat you could people could squatters would get lunch 1st base it this event so now here's some reaction should pay attention to rather my rambling this event is not and so the eyebrows patent 9 I'll use your friend next this event is primarily about people who work interested and no JavaScript a red and want to see where the cutting edges going or actively working on the cutting edge this is not how use leaflet how to use a How do you know JS or a you don't come if you're in be over your head and jobs right and the other part of this is it's also to get the people who are on the cutting edge to go off in like all my gosh you're doing that I'm doing that you let the down together and figure out some way to do it so that the purpose of that and this is not like a beginner jobs so that we start off the day with
Vladimir the greater we suggested originator leaflet JS and he'd give me I ask for slides and stuff and can and so he basically spent the day showing all the new great things that are coming in leaflet JS 1 . 0 which is a big room for him right his biology is a bunch of basically what he did is they BBC
time it ceases talked managers talks about how to run what's in it this slides and then what he did we chosen some really great demo so 1 agent is a demo of pins move around regions and that you were all to me so you show me the pills move around just using server-side events not WebSockets so we work in almost any browser and any it is other lake demo which is phenomenal but is no longer working and I don't know
why but he sent you out what it
basically he did is great mashup which is this is the map showing the bus you have to pick the bus and what actually happened up on the screen was you he was by using the Google street-view API to pull that like he knew the direction the orientation and the location of the bus so he was pulling down the street view picture and putting it in the window so as the bus moved down the street is windowed keep updating with street so like you with my bus drivers what his what the bus drivers looking at and then every if you follow the trees that are coming out of it it's got this realism slider which allows utilities to see how much is really wanna look like the boss my it really in blighted basically changes the opacity of the bus which but it's not working now and I don't so pain Jason and say you you're you're busses broken the so helping as well but that was so everybody's like wow megalopolis this it 1 everybody love learning about service events because must have heard and it's way easier than words they then fact were talk the after that
Brett camper from maps and up and this is another Web G 0 1 and I have to say he was the 1 who showed more at least in the morning session so more demos of what you can do like real live demos of the movies of what you can do with web GL also shows some of them off right now and they have this they release a library as a blog post a a bunch of other stuff the sampled but it's 10 grams which is the web geolibrary and so what that looks like it is the so here's 10
right n this is a web GL view on
on on this 1 but yeah this one's got this they
got this hard element on so I can click on so so I
can change the perspective to isometric
on the fly right so those are all extrusions of I think of Manhattan the man and the man and he will write so these are all extrusions all the client this all extruded would GL and so this is going to grow a ago that's kind of interesting when nice OK and then he showed changing lighting in real time
rights or updating the view all those in real
time and you can watch this tree the light change as you move around in the browser all script and then I think we get feature yeah we get feature and also so these are actually individual features what happened at the mall and here's some of the cost of he did so put this back to normal lighting used to him so then it is stuff like
this but rather so all those the things are in a meeting open and I'm not using the feature map but this is his latest version of Firefox running a of T 40 s from Lenovo the Intel graphics card integrated Intel graphics card right is doing all this really fun stuff and I think the amount of extrusion stuff depends on where were located it's like of lands the other 1 I think they got everybody was was a brilliant now was a brief the and I think of the 1 that you want with the 1 he only did things like this both pop up as well right so this 1 you love the lot we all of this 1 because it it you can see it on here he he's just popping up certain features and everything else is flat bread as I moved in real time it's going to change the lens but the she romance so
as I move it changes was popping up so it's a really good way off highlight a certain area give a lot of detail on then flatten the rest of not and then the other 1 did is you can also do stuff like this with rendering right so these are real renderers on
each object that is in India to
concede the this it out on the sides of the buildings or we can turn around the would
meaning that nice the or you can turn it
in the black might have to all apply depending on what visualization you 1 show and that's dynamically rendering it and try to think there is anything else the and no I don't never seen it others but let's see the customer anything else that he
did that was like while those at the sessions but I'm missing anything that he did was animated me wiser color 0 there goes bleeding of the colors are moving around in so just use a shot of all this kind of stuff you could do from theory of trees highlighting just
be the distance to highlight the environment
but any questions about this I don't know too much about this is going to basically be toward and may be of interest OK so that was that was a cool 1 this was also this is of a lightning talk so we we had someone cancel was supposed to be there and then we get we asked above lightning talks to fill in so this is 1 of and then we have another 1 after lunch which at 0 the other 1 after lunch this minimum or the 1 after lunch was it was something that he summoned radius Ri showed was like projections on the floor I don't know well no matter how 3 minutes so then the real talks that I remember because
I was there for them or I got people to respond that Rio after lunch talk about
workers and so how many of you heard of workers
rights of man actually showed up workers are basically you can set off asynchronous jobs from the practice spawned by the browser and they go do stuff as the browser all the rest of the page is doing other things right and so I'm not gonna go through so talk show some of his demos but so this is not box as on with this and in the 1st but this is
surely the man no matter what your sources
and stuff like could show the this guy as already code but it's work the but I don't know that
anybody see members 1 format what was doing basically matches sent me this show anyway so workers and that's
that's taking way too long to render on the network so I don't know what is actually doing but is doing something with workers maybe the colors or something more rendered behind the scenes in some sort of work of primary doing something behind of the I think most of the system is actually this demos from Calvin so the whole point with workers was to give people the idea of that you could you background
jobs with Java script the in the browser the source and the other examples he gave I
think the user here showing like M 5 password patterns the right it the next
other thing that came out of it and in part what this also was this is this talk that's and things like that were showing things that we don't usually used in job after we all about the fancy visualization stuff and the point of use was the show things as other cool things we can do without having to be just visualization related that we might want you jump for so the nite in the Calvin but Calvin's was about patch Spencer down which I think is a version of couch DB or related to account he be answered of database and browser and all I got from Calvin
was ir your lt's git
repo so if you wanna look at it sorry but
most of the 0 this is count so when on post-Christian trade so he's I database back ends quadtrees I don't know what he's doing with it they may wanna give a summary for that I wasn't there From the afraid to speak out I was therefore it some other people were you in the afternoon there's obviously always is the this is probably 1 of the ones so when so I got back from the back from other people as when Calvin and Max spoke it would really low level and there is a small group of like 20 people they got very excited about all this stuff and then they left and when did this stuff like works more on this together which is exactly what we kind of 1 of the shell right there some people were completely excited about this stuff left the room and then went to collaborate on something else don't I think is 1 over I think this 1 over a bunch people's heads more used to doing this stuff that's why can't I heard the exactly was great the
kind I wanna follow up on that more but and then we had the later afternoon we had to cesium sessions so Patrick put Patrick but it around but but the he talked about the human some initial patterns in the audience will correct me if I say anything on this which I
like action so this is the them on the home page she's
doing about it's another Web geolibrary on it by default there is I think Patrick was geared more toward doing a global like of its they can do flat stuff but I think it's use case mostly started with replacing Google Earth in the browser the principles of the you now this from the the man really studied pad you will so now you can see there's the whole
birds the right with satellites orbiting around it
in the browser in real time remember seeing this like 9 years ago years Orion you had to have like the high end of some they're building a special extension to do this and was taking advantage of the graphics card and also the fun stuff in the tracking stylized excited and now we can just you or browser with these library coming the yes I got another demo go like
this 1 actually made me happy you may be interested to
you Chris that in acts which he felt was and since I'm running the show is it was a joke do around no which 1 was it that use the was of D 3 and
easier so every node 3 is I hope
you're kind of image of the 3 is the be able to it was in both stock and other both stock have the keynote so both stock is the 1 we tried that that in 1 of the reasons we try to do the show in San Francisco's is we wanted might to speak at GHG he's like but here and then we also wanted them another person you should look into it is that can you was mainly because of a cold he does voxel j s which is likely basically of Minecraft in JavaScript so yes thank you max object does really cool stuff a JavaScript as well so I'm going to show this 1 no good I like this 1 a lot
and I think this is kind of like another holy grail kind of application like this is the stuff we've always wanted
to do an it's actually coming doable now so still learning stuff so there's it starts with a 2
D view and were still I think we're still waiting for something to come through that right yes were still transferring data start looking at UT wonderful the of so here is is also what's happening across the bottom this is time Brown December 18 something up until look for 2000 right and what's wealth were measuring wealth over time and then that's it could hooked up to 83 Visualisation Graph bubble wrap migrating bubble raft on the left the top right so the geographic but it's also you can track them in time if you wanna pay more attention to but it was moving where and so your balance chemicals the but now what's this tha birth that right the
3 cesium but if you go to the the cesium site it's under demos then he had you
publish the source code for that 1 that the
1st of the word the because that means I think that if you do 3 D view the bars there's still a bit too tall but still that is pretty phenomenal right like you show that anybody who really trying to hire you for consulting gigs and you need a job that's where you like but those users some IJS students but a premonitory collagen but a pre-mapping your PhD thesis and master's thesis instant past right so this is the exact same with this this mean that is model and it's in the browser or there's nothing to install so IT departments as long as they can put in new where
browsers they love their and their now but at the
back I even know it did that on
follow and it's hoped that together how do we what exactly will affect how it is used a moment gaps the this China so what will the welfare health no we must be looking at health so all that was a bad year for the was the history of although this was indicted on the same axis was pretty so this is life inspect and see how I just as the unit is this graph is this fact partly that my such a nice correlation you OK any right so that and I think then Vanessa when after you again the slides and Vanessa I think Vanessa with category what I wrote that acid here 0 wait equal or someone else why why do you know about the world as well as the hold on hold on I just cleaned off so they're building a rose state AP on top of cesium and it could lay down translucent geometries for a lot 2 city blocks and then you have a 3 D model for building you're interested in he goes on inside the the the building and take a look at it are the run into some issues onto mental cards but I did give them a work-around of student achievement but even as about and so the last thing I wanna talk about that several talks now for next year when we wanna do that we had a suggestion for doing in Philadelphia because of Patrick as a matter of theory is 1 of the reasons were thinking is is midway between New York and DC and we haven't done a gesture you on the east coast yeah and this way we may we both of those groups the other thing is I was thinking about timing-wise we could do it either on the beginning or the end of phosphor GNA which is and is not and you see next year word right anybody know but it's in DC Right I think is back in the DC again or is in Berlin December and game is a Burling and were members with its with location attack the it's Burlington the the case of the brilliance that doesn't tie into that there is something else that is happening in DC in an armor would the you know the Bay area out but the ain't a geography lesson San Francisco this is the whole peninsula now this is and it goes like this for economic looks like that sentences go this is San Jose this is important for the streaming people back on and this is seen as a early games like when at the airport nonsensical so that thinking but the thing is is that they don't ever trust the date until it's published 1st real and I publish it but was in the press this crystal say all sorts of things he's all excited and so I say it to go to and then the other thing is we could use help right is just as teach MOS doing stuff so if you want help spread about the torture you know a really good speaker you'd really like to hear speak basically is always most of you I think we did 2 days the 1st year we did and that didn't work out so often it's always going to be a one-day event for the most part that it seems to work out well we can always have to day spring-summer next people wanna hang out afterwards to get justification that they're going to write time this is so much more important cabins in the camcorder talked about what he did in the addition the size and what he did it a when actually not so that was marked because I think that's when gesture is but it that's in Berlin game that doesn't work well for Philadelphia and Philadelphia kind of sucks in March so that the October would be a good time in Philadelphia the but was the the so I keep at there's no there's no mailing list anything this is Chris Knight going back and forth every once in a while somebody so what suggest geopage a follower Twitter pouncer I'm sorry it's just really disorganized but a lot of fun the by Calvin once company in the GS GO Iousy channels so if you really wanted dominate Calvin feel sad get yes he's trying that makes everybody the the

Birth Rite
Family Is First At Morrison's Auto In Wisconsin
Robert Jr., Jackie, Erin, Julie, Bill, Robbie and Bea (Inside) with the company's police cruiser, originally purchased for a burn-out competition.
Morrison's Auto, Inc. is family all the way. Robert Morrison Sr. founded the Edgerton, Wis. auto recycling facility in 1958. It employs 13 family members, including four of his six children - managers Robert Morrison Jr. (maintenance), Bill Morrison (buying / administration), Julie Morrison Koepp (shipping) and Jackie Morrison Hansen (inventory). Several of Robert Sr.'s grandchildren are also employed there, including managers Erin Koepp Johnson (accounting) and Robbie Koepp (sales).
"It couldn't be any better working with family. We love it," Bill acknowledged. "We hear about a lot of other businesses that struggle with it. Does it have its challenges? You bet it does, but it is well worth the price."
Bill and his siblings have steadily grown the business since their father died in 1998. During the last 10 years the staff doubled, the number of dismantling bays doubled and the daily delivery routes quadrupled.
"The biggest change we've seen is probably our yard management system," Bill stated. "We've switched from Hollander to the Pinnacle system."
Robbie suggested the yard management switch in 2008. The upgrade shook some of the managing family members.
"I compare it to when Uncle Billy put in Hollander in 1994 and my grandpa left for a week and didn't come back," laughed Robbie. "When I put in Pinnacle Professional, I was already scheduling Billy's time off. But he hung in there."
"The third generation embraces technology a lot better than us older people do," Bill admitted. "That's definitely what Erin and Robbie bring to the table."
In the last five years since Erin and Robbie have been managers, Morrison's Auto has added Facebook and Twitter pages, installed a live chat function for its web site (MorrisonsAuto.com) and integrated Wi-Fi throughout the yard.
"The loader has a laptop and our yard guy has a laptop. Everything is live with Pinnacle and Pinnacle Professional," added Robbie. "All the orders are routed right to who needs to pull it, without somebody having to do it on paper. We are probably 90 percent paperless. We don't print anything but invoices now."
It wasn't always easy to get staff on board with the upgrades.
"With so many family members involved, you get people that are excited about change, those that know it has to happen and some that are like 'Oh no, that's not going to work'," Robbie explained. "Eventually everyone decides to go with it, it does work and it gets easier over the years to persuade everyone to spend the money to make everyone run smoother."
Just like the family matriarch, Bea Morrison, Robert Sr.'s wife - who at 74 still comes in daily to make the rounds and talk to the employees - the family does not intend to slow down. Soon a second Morrison's Auto location will open in Madison, Wis. It is a storefront to sell the facility's parts, plus aftermarket parts.
"Something we've had on our backburner for a few years is to acquire another yard and this will allow us to get our feet wet with a second location," Bill announced. "Maybe in another five years we will be able to do another full-service yard."

Having read quite a number of IE articles, and anticipating using IE in my research in care settings, I have come to an inverse argument to John. As Laura says, the hidden functionings and doings (activities) of ruling relations are laid bare in IE projects, and have been used particularly to expose the operation of neo-liberal counter-revolutions in Canadian health care. However, to a cynical socialist like me, this neo-liberal influence was not news, but the result of a systematic application of ideology. IE detected how it - unwittingly to them - changed healthcare workers' practices, and re-shaped how healthcare provision was thought about. I have been tempted to say, "so what?" But then, maybe Dorothy Smith would say I am using highly abstract and possibly gendered sociological concepts to arrive at my analysis, to which she could equally say "so what?". Is it possible that IE/point of entry/ethnomethodologically congruent/ground up approaches and sociological/abstract/authoritative approaches are technologies of analysis in a dialectical process/tension? IE developed as an anti-thesis to sociological, abstract, institutional collaboration: is there a sythesis waiting out there?
In any ethnography, what can be established and followed up will be influenced by over-arching theory, even Grounded Theory! Or should there always be a dialogue, mediated by others in a co-operative, between what has been observed and the observer's textual cultural artefacts?

I declare in interest in this town. Off all of the 100 towns this is the one we have chosen as our own. Our rural block Whistlers Rest is in Clandulla and today's photo shows you some of it's attraction.
The town itself is a cluster of 30-40 houses, so bigger than some of the places we have visited on the way but in other aspects less of a town.
Visit Clandulla over at 100 towns to see some of our neighbourhood.
Or take a wander around Whistlers Rest to see more.

By Annica Nesty, senior director of marketing science Elite SEM.
Seasonality isn't just the change from fall to winter — it's any pattern that occurs during a fixed period, whether that's a year, a month, or a day. For instance, annual holidays like Independence Day or Christmas are obvious examples of seasonality, but a regular spike in business at the beginning of each month represents the idea as well.
Thanks to marketing science, your business can leverage time series data to understand seasonality and predict when important fluctuations will occur. As all marketers know, timing is everything — and paying attention to seasonality is a critical element of timing campaigns, product launches, and more.
Spotting Seasonality
It doesn't take a marketing wizard to know that flower shops will experience a spike leading up to Mother's Day, but not all seasonal patterns might be that obvious. What if a company's customers prefer to shop on a particular day of the week based on their need for the product? That might not be clear at first glance.
For a company to reap the benefits — and avoid the pitfalls — of seasonality, business leaders must be aware of it. Repeated peaks in sales are a great opportunity to optimize marketing messaging to capitalize on seasonality, and prior knowledge of dips in consumer spending can be used to create accurate budgets and adjust inventory levels.
On the other hand, deseasonalizing data is also an important part of putting together a strategy through investigating trends. For example, most retailers will experience a sales bump in the holiday-packed fourth quarter, but it can be useful to measure changes without including the seasonal factors to determine whether the organization is experiencing sustainable growth.
Being able to both include and exclude the impact of seasonality helps increase the accuracy of machine learning algorithms used to predict the future. With advanced analytics, decision-makers can explore scenarios like budget increases or decreases in a low-stakes environment first.
The effect of seasonality is dictated by three key components: timing, magnitude, and direction. For timing, a pattern could occur annually, monthly, weekly, or even daily. That pattern could range from a small, consistent fluctuation to a large, variable one — that's magnitude. And direction refers to whether the seasonality produces increases or decreases in the measured area, which could be sales, page visits, customer churn, or other important KPIs.
If you're a marketing leader or business owner who wants to maximize the information you pull from your seasonal data, follow these three steps:
1. Investigate the impact of seasonality.
After you identify the timing, magnitude, and direction of seasonality in your business, it's time to analyze your findings. This analysis will provide intelligence about how your business is scaling relative to seasonal patterns. It will be able to answer questions like, "Is my business trending downward in general, or is the slow performance I'm seeing simply indicative of a seasonal trend?" In order to understand your business and to set goals, you need to know where you stand.
2. Forecast future performance.
Seasonality provides opportunities to reduce or leverage seasonal impacts and improve your organization's future performance. When you understand the impact of seasonal patterns, you can create a robust forecasting model with a high accuracy rate. With a solid predictor at your service, your business will become more agile and competitive: You can optimize spending, improve processes, and be ready to act on potential opportunities as they arise. Take Vineyard Vines, for example: The company is using a seasonal forecasting model to identify customers on its email list who are most likely to unsubscribe and then re-engaging them via direct mail, hoping to use its data to reduce churn.
3. Build a better optimization plan.
Armed with an awareness of the seasonality that directly affects your business, it's time to test various scenarios to determine the best path forward. Reduce negative seasonal impacts as much as possible. If you sell snow sports equipment, the summer months will inevitably lead to a decline in revenue, but you can create a summer sale to help minimize the impact. At the same time, you can create a plan that magnifies the positive effects of seasonality based on historical performance data.
There is often little you can do to change seasonality — the sale of Christmas trees, for instance, will always be inextricably linked to Christmas. That said, knowing how seasonality affects your business is paramount because it allows you to establish measures that capitalize on the benefits while mitigating the disadvantages. Equipped with information about the ebb and flow of seasonality, marketing or business leaders can create more relevant plans that achieving stunning successes.

Manafort failed to file numerous lobbying reports on a timely basis, trying to cover up his ties to the Russians, and that is somehow the fault of the prosecutor?
Maybe if Manafort had met his legal obligation on a timely basis he wouldn't be facing charges.

Andrew Weissmann met with AP reporters to discuss Paul Manafort case before joining special counsel
By: Sara Carter
A senior Justice Department prosecutor in Robert Mueller's Special Counsel office held a meeting with Associated Press journalists last spring to discuss an investigation into Paul Manafort's financial record, a day before the wire service published a major expose disclosing alleged money laundering made by the former and now embattled Trump campaign chairman.
Federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, now a senior attorney in the special counsel's office, met with AP journalists on April 11 after reporters informed him of their own investigation into Manafort's dealings with Ukrainian officials. The reporters had reached out to Weissman on a different story earlier in the year and it was during that conversation, that the AP team told Weissmann of their investigation into Manafort, stated the sources. The AP published the explosive expose on April 12, a day after their meeting with Weissmann.
According to sources familiar with the meeting, the reporters had promised to share documents and other information gleaned from the own investigation with the Justice Department.
AP spokeswoman Lauren Easton said Thursday, "we refrain from discussing our sources."
"Associated Press journalists meet with a range of people in the course of reporting stories, and we refrain from discussing relationships with sources. However, the suggestion that AP would voluntarily serve as the source of information for a government agency is categorically untrue," added Easton.
At the time of the meeting, Weissmann was head of the Justice Department's fraud division. He was the most senior member of the Justice Department to join the special counsel in May.
Sources said Weissmann, had notified his superiors about the arranged meeting with the AP and at the time of the meeting he was not assigned to the Manafort probe and had no knowledge of the state of the investigation. Weissmann didn't have access to grand jury materials, didn't have access to reports and his role was solely to facilitate the meeting because the AP reached out to him, the officials added.
The officials noted that no commitment was made to assist the reporters with their investigation into Manafort's life or activity.
The AP meeting arranged by Weissmann came to light in a letter sent to Justice Department Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-CA, late last year, requesting specific FBI and DOJ documentation related to the controversial Fusion GPS dossier that alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Rosenstein not only agreed to provide all the documents requested, which include unredacted FBI interviews with witnesses, as well as access to eight key FBI and DOJ witnesses but said they would provide the committee with information on Weissmann, as reported last week.
The committee letter noted that the Justice Department is "researching records related to the details of an April 2017 meeting between DOJ Attorney Andrew Weissmann (now the senior attorney for Special Counsel Robert Mueller) and the media, which will also be provided to this Committee by close of business on Thursday, January 11, 2018."
That meeting with the AP was attended by three different litigating offices. Two employees from the U.S. Justice Department and the other representative was from the U.S. Attorney's office, according to the sources. FBI agents also attended the meeting, law enforcement sources confirmed.
Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller, declined to comment. Chief Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores also declined to comment.
However, the Justice Department and FBI have specific guidelines that must be followed when obtaining documents or information from the media, according to the DOJ website.
"Members of the Department may not employ the use of the investigative tool at issue until the Criminal Division has responded in writing," the guideline states. "Accordingly, to ensure appropriate consideration, members of the Department should submit requests for authorization or consultation pursuant to this policy at least 30 days before the anticipated use of the covered law enforcement tool."
Carr declined to comment on whether the AP shared documentation or information with Weissmann. He also declined to comment on whether Weissmann followed appropriate DOJ procedures for the meeting to obtain documentation.
And Weissmann's role in arranging the meeting did not go over well with FBI officials, who issued a complaint to the Justice Department suggesting Weissmann didn't follow normal procedures for dealing with journalists. The FBI was concerned the meeting with the journalists could harm the ongoing probe into Russia's involvement in the 2016 presidential election, according to sources with knowledge of the information.
The news organization published the Manafort story a day after the meeting on April 12. The story revealed that roughly $1.2 million in payments listed for Manafort in a handwritten ledger in Ukraine had been deposited into his U.S. bank accounts.
After the AP published a series of investigative stories, Manafort was forced to file a numerous late lobbying reports. Those reports showed he was paid millions by pro-Russian interests in Ukraine. Manafort has pleaded innocent to the felony charges and last week filed a lawsuit trying to remove Mueller as the special prosecutor in the case.

Childhood mischief-making started with the question. What would happen if?
What would happen if I pinched my older brother's chubby thigh while he sat on his potty chair?
If the wheel nuts to my tricycle were loosened to the point of falling off under enthusiastic play–what would happen? It was hilarious, when the back wheels fell off, and the tricycle skidded to a stop in the dust and dirt.
A newly found rusty saw, easily cut though corn stalks, with the assistance of my younger brother. It brought out woodsman aspirations in both of us.
Corporal punishment administered by my father, was the most frequent answer to the question. Except for the time, I found a spring-loaded varmint trap at grandma's. It sprang shut on my fingers, as I hollered for help. There was no spanking that time. My pinched fingers were punishment enough.

Alright, everyone–this one is in honor of my sweet sixteen, which I just celebrated on Mother's Day. I know I've posted several Jamie Grace songs, but they are just so good!
What I like about this song is how it details a bunch of things that teenage girls are concerned about, and brings it back to the lesson of learning to go to God with all of that. That's the big lesson I've been learning lately, so I thought this song was particularly fitting. It's the lesson anyone can learn, 16 or 61: trusting God.
I hope you enjoy this song!

A Kataphron Battle Servitor is a type of heavy Battle Servitor used by the military forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Though they possess a once-human brain like all Servitors, the Kataphron Battle Servitor has been severed from all emotion and independent thought, and serves as little more than a living weapon controlled by the orders of the Mechanicus' Tech-priests. They are much larger and more powerful than the standard Servitors employed for multiple tasks across the Imperium of Man. There are two variants of the Kataphron Battle Servitor normally employed depending on the tactical objective of the controlling Tech-adepts -- the Kataphron Breacher and the Kataphron Destroyer.
The Servitor complement of even a single Forge World will typically number in the tens of millions. Many were once wanted criminals -- hard and intimidating men from all walks of Imperial life, from hive city gangers stitched with vat-grown slabs of muscle to Inquisitorial enforcers that committed bloody murder after learning too much. When the Adeptus Arbites find and condemn a transgressor of surpassing physical size, that individual will be beaten senseless with Power Mauls and sent battered and bloody to the nearest Forge World. There he is given a second chance to serve Mankind as one of its most faithful servants. First the specimen is mind-wiped, chemically lobotomised so that his personality and memories are a blank slate -- in theory at least. Next his arms are cut away, usually replaced with weapons or tools suited to the new role his masters have chosen for him. In the case of Battle Servitors like the Kataphron, the specimen will be halved at the abdomen and permanently sutured and neural-cauterised into a tracked motive unit. His mind will be hardwired with targeting Cogitators, and his voice box surgically modified to better sing binharic praise to the Machine God. The process is of course painful in the extreme, but then no atonement is ever truly complete without sacrifice.
Kataphron Breacher
Kataphron Breachers are Battle Servitors many times the size and power of those used by the rest of the Imperium. Utterly deadly at close quarters, they are not born so much as constructed, their every enhancement geared for maximum lethality. They are easily recognised by their growling motive units, vicious hydraulic pincers and deadly shoulder-mounted cannons. Yet the most vital component of all is within -- the soul of a violent man. In battle Kataphron Breachers rumble forward at the command of their Tech-priest masters, fulfilling the role of living shield and battering ram alike. Originally devised to break apart enemy battle lines and fortifications, they are of great use to those Adepts who wish to seize a valuable artefact from the clutches of would-be usurpers. As they near the front line the volleys levelled by the foe thunder around the Breachers to little effect; the thick overlapping plates that cover the flesh-parts of the Battle Servitors make them all but invulnerable to small arms fire. Once their proximity bells chime, Breachers return fire with helical blasts of energy from Heavy Arc Rifles or the twisting, ripping fields of Torsion Cannons. Whilst the foe scatters in disarray the Breachers accelerate, crashing into enemy lines to crush and kill with piston-driven talons and coruscating Arc Claws.
Kataphron Destroyer
"The basilica wall gave way with a landslide crash. A gigantic bio-beast shouldered through it, thick knots of lesser Tyranids spilling through amongst the rubble and clouds of ancient brick dust. The Cognis weaponry of Destroyer-clade Vho-9-Rhombus reacted before the Servitors themselves, snapping round to belch great clouds of Promethium flame into those weapon-beasts skittering forwards. As one, Vho-9-Rhombus pivoted and slowly reversed, the expressions of the three Battle Servitors as slack and disinterested as if still in transit to the war zone. The spindly servo-limbs of their Cognis Flamers deftly detached the empty canisters and replaced them without a microsecond of hesitation. Tyranids leapt, blade-arms whipping through the air, only to be caught once more in blasts of flame. The giant wrecker organism barrelled through the fires with a screeching roar, a crab-like pincer crushing the leftmost Battle Servitor in an explosion of sparks and stinking blood. From the nave behind came a monotonous chant, the sound filling the basilica's perfect acoustics with binharic battle cant. The two remaining Kataphrons shook as if in ecstasy before levelling their Graviton Cannons at the beast ploughing through the pews towards their master. The Tyranid creature screamed as its carapace cracked in a hundred places, and then it burst, squashed like an insect under the Omnissiah's iron heel."
The cyborg horrors known as Kataphron Destroyers exist only to kill. There is perhaps no purer calling in all the galaxy than that of the living weapon, especially one unsullied by the responsibility of morality, or even thought. All Servitors are ultimately only tools wielded by the hand of another, and the Kataphrons are no exception. When such a Battle Servitor is controlled by an Adept of the Machine God, they become destruction incarnate. Where the standard Kataphron Breacher has at least one clawlike arm, the Destroyer has both its upper limbs replaced by high-yield weaponry. On one side it mounts a cannon of advanced design, ranging from the Heavy Phosphor Blaster -- a weapon that fires white-hot spheres that cling, burning, to the target -- to the Plasma Culverin, a cannon so volatile the Servitor's own flesh crisps and burns even as his targets are reduced to molten sludge. Perhaps most feared of all the Destroyer's tools is the Heavy Graviton Cannon, a weapon that can flatten even the Wraithbone ghost constructs of the Eldar in a single crushing solar second. Their potential for dealing death does not end there, for on the other side of their torso Destroyers bear secondary weapon systems that can hurl nearby enemies back with roaring gouts of flame and streams of phosphor shot. Those that somehow survive this blistering array of firepower would do well to flee quickly, lest they be ground into the dirt under the Destroyer's heavy tracks.
Unit Composition
- 3 Kataphron Breachers or Kataphron Destroyers
Kataphron Breacher
- Kataphron Breacherplate - Though the torso and head of the Kataphron Battle Servitor hints at its fleshy past, the rest of its frame is a titanium-laced fortress of metal and plasteel that turns aside bullet and blade alike. Cybernetically reinforced to fit their role as close assault operatives, each Breacher is capable of driving right into the firepower of an entire squad and still emerging intact.
- Heavy Arc Rifle - Devised to slay the daemon machines of the Dark Mechanicum, the Heavy Arc Rifle is powered by ancient Martian electrotech. It sends out shallow parabolas of crackling electromagnetic energy that revolve around each other, forming triple helixes as they blast forth. Should these ground upon a metallic target they will swiftly overload its circuits and banish its animating spirit to the ether.
- Torsion Cannon (Upgrade) - The tri-sectional barrel of the Torsion Cannon is amongst the holiest of Mars' weapon technologies. When energised, it sends out three synchronous graviton gaol-fields that hold sections of the target in place. As the sections of the cannon's barrel turn counter to one another, the matter grasped in the gravitic fields is mercilessly twisted, subjected to an impossible torque that rips, buckles and ruins alien monstrosities and enemy war engines alike.
- Arc Claw - During the Cyberghoul Wars, the burrowing daemon machines of Warpsmith Votogr Bolga were met talon to talon by the Forge World Metalica's Battle Servitor defenders. It was the invention of the Arc Claw that turned the tide -- a potent delivery system for the most sophisticated scrambler technology the Adeptus Mechanicus could devise.
- Hydraulic Claw (Upgrade) - The Hydraulic Claws of Kataphron Breachers are driven not only by powerful pistons, but also sanctified oils that are collected, drip by drip, from Titan God-Machines at rest. The Tech-priests' belief is that in maintaining this process, they confer some of the Titan's strength to their Servitors. One who has witnessed the ruin wrought by a Hydraulic Claw will be hard-pressed to refute it.
Kataphron Destroyer
- Kataphron Demiplate - The weapon systems of the Kataphron Destroyer generate so much heat that their cabling is necessarily exposed -- to armour their wielder in heavy Breacherplate would doom it to swift burnout. Nonetheless, its cyborg anatomy and heavy steel treads provide a great deal of protection against small arms fire.
- Plasma Culverin - Plasma Culverins sacrifice the range of their cannon pattern equivalents in exchange for a higher rate of fire. Only the Adeptus Mechanicus dare coax such rampant destruction from their Plasma Weapons, yet to the Adepts of Ryza in particular, the scars they leave on wielder and war zone alike are considered quite normal.
- Heavy Graviton Cannon (Upgrade) - The graviton technologies used by the Adeptus Mechanicus are fearsome indeed. A target hit by the Heavy Grav-cannon's invisible field will be stunned and likely crippled, or even crushed under their own exponentially increased mass until all that is left is an oozing disc of biometallic waste.
- Heavy Phosphor Blaster (Upgrade) - Phosphor Weapons range from the hand-held Phosphor Serpenta favoured by many Tech-priests to the Heavy Phosphor Blaster mounted upon Kataphron Battle Servitors. The burning white spheres that shoot out from Phosphor Weapons cling tenaciously to their targets, sizzling wildly as they melt into flesh or burrow through armour and exoskeleton alike. More often than not, it is these luminagenic orbs that deal the death blow. Even if a target proves tough enough to survive the burning pain, the phosphorescent glow these spheres exude can guide an ally's volley to strike the same target.
- Cognis Flamer (Upgrade) - The spark-like anger of the Cognis Flamer's artificially intelligent Machine Spirit has been fanned to a roaring blaze. When under duress it will fight with incendiary wrath, even should its wielder be distracted.
- Codex Adeptus Mechanicus - Cult Mechanicus (7th Edition) (Digital Edition), pp. 64-70, 196-197, 199-200

I feel pretty bad that I haven't posted in two weeks, but I have a legit excuse for my extended absence from the blogosphere. It's been the busiest two weeks yet, with my family coming last week, classes finishing this week, and coursework due today and next Monday. And to keep the countdown going, we're at 3 weeks and 2 days left in the land of the Scots.
Me and The Queen
I headed south of Scotland for a weekend in London. I met up with two high school friends – Andrew, who's studying in London, and Sara, who's close to Amsterdam – and it was great to finally see some people from home other than the people I came to St. Andrews with. It's kind of funny because I'm pretty sure when we were all in high school, none of us would have thought in three years, we would be meeting up to tour London. We had a great time, and there is a good possibility I'll go back next semester.
The Old Course and Raisin Weekend
I finally made it onto the Old Course on Friday, after two and a half months of walking by it almost every day. It was the best experience I've had so far, and I don't think anything else will top it. It was sunny out, which is somewhat of a rarity over here lately, and although it was a little wet, the course was in great condition. It was the best round of golf I've played since I've been here, and I know I played better just because I was on the Old Course.

We love the mix of sweet potatoes, collard greens, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese in this seasonal gratin recipe.
Green Bean Lasagna
Recipe: Green Bean Lasagna
Lasagna may not be the first thing you think of when you imagine classic Thanksgiving sides, but our take on this classic holiday dish will have you loving this new twist. It mixes the smooth taste of perfectly cooked pasta noodles with the crunch of just-right green beans, the creaminess of ricotta and shredded Italian cheese, and the sweetness of onions and mushrooms. Top this casserole with crushed buttery crackers and French fried onions and you will wonder how you ever enjoyed your green bean casserole any other way. This will be the update that will become your go-to family classic casserole for years to come.
Two-Cheese Squash Casserole

For a tasty and colorful twist, substitute sliced zucchini for half of the yellow squash.
Butternut Squash Gratin

Slice the potatoes as you use them in each layer (rather than all at once), to help prevent oxidation.
Bacon-Brussels Sprout-Green Bean Casserole
Recipe: Bacon-Brussels Sprout-Green Bean Casserole
We added crispy bacon and Brussels Sprouts to this casserole for a spin on a Thanksgiving classic.
Four-Cheese Macaroni
Recipe: Four-Cheese Macaroni
Part of the delight of this dish is the mixture of four cheeses that combine to give it the distinctive richness and creaminess that make it distinct. With Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Asiago, and fontina cheeses, Four-Cheese Macaroni mixes these spicy-hot, soft, and hard cheeses into a mouthwatering combination. We've used cavatappi pasta here—think of it like a corkscrew—so it grabs the cheese and holds on. Baked in the oven, it gets a crisp, delicious top that is finished with a delicious trio of toppings—breadcrumbs, bacon, and pecans. This macaroni and cheese ecipe is worthy of center stage.
Squash Casserole
Recipe: Squash Casserole
Why limit French fried onions to green bean casserole? We love them on this cheesy squash casserole, too.
Classic Parmesan Scalloped Potatoes
Recipe: Classic Parmesan Scalloped Potatoes
Gently stirring twice while baking promotes even cooking and creaminess to this dish. Pull out of the oven, stir once more, then sprinkle with cheese, and continue baking without stirring for a casserole that's golden brown on top.

Droughts happen in long-term relationships. That's life. You have to communicate through it and not let it become the big elephant in the room, if you can. But I find this story pretty sad. Basically, a wife received a spreadsheet from her passive-aggressive husband documenting all her reasons for rejecting his sexual advances. She retaliated by sharing it on the Internet and not surprisingly, it's gone viral.
I feel kind of voyeuristic even READING this spreadsheet, which suggests she's doling out pity sex once every 10 days and turns it down other times because she's sweaty/full/tired etc. If I was her, I would be completely floored by his actions, but I also have to wonder… IS it an act of a total jerk who's only interested in getting laid or a last resort by a desperate guy who's tried other avenues to fix things in the bedroom with a wife who doesn't think there's an issue?
Latest update on Reddit:
My husband [M26] sent me [F26] an immature, inflammatory email as I was driving to the airport for a 10-day work trip. Now he has cut contact.
If you're interested, the discussion continues on Reddit.
What would you do if your partner sent you a spreadsheet like this?
4 Comments
This is so bad, very infuriating! I feel for this girl. Men can put so much pressure on their partner, it only makes it worse.
And this spreadsheet is going to make her horny and fall into his arms then?? I'd be suggesting that there might be a whole lots of new reasons she's not sleeping with him now, perhaps not finding her obsessive, whiny, non-communicative (how about talking??), hubby might not seem so attractive for a while.
She doesn't have to have sex if she doesn't want to. End of story.
women are so scared of a man bringing down the logic hammer. No he wasnt being passive aggressive, he was being blunt saying you give lame excuses and dont have sex with me enough and here is proof.
Why did she marry the guy if she isnt interesting in making love more than once a month ?
If you read her explanations on Reddit she says it was a blip in the usual status quo and they were busy and blah blah and sex fell by the wayside – which can happen.
But yeah, in relationships you have to prioritise intimacy and while it was an immature move on his part maybe there was some sense of him not knowing how else to get her attention or get her to take it seriously??

When asked why they work so hard to organize an annual golf tournament and dinner auction to benefit the DBA Foundation, Jim and Carol Mancuso are quick to answer, "We really have no choice... our son's life depends on it."
Trevor Mancuso, now 15 years old, was diagnosed with DBA at 18 months old. The Mancuso family of Strongville, OH started their personal fundraising efforts in 2007. Known as Friends of DBAF, they have raised over $50,000. This year, they hope to raise an additional $20,000 at their upcoming Golf Tournament and Dinner Auction. The event will be held September 17, 2011 in Valley City, Ohio. All are invited to attend!
Fundraising can be a difficult, yet rewarding, experience. Carol stated, "Over the past five years our efforts have not only yielded thousands of dollars but have given us a sense of pride and accomplishment. Fundraising is a humbling experience that creates this overwhelming feeling of gratitude to those who support and help you on your journey. It is a feeling of frustration, fear and exhaustion that can only be summed up as incredible!"
The Diamond Blackfan Anemia Foundation sincerely thanks the Mancuso family for all their hard work and continued efforts. It is because of the commitment of our families and friends that we are able to fulfill our mission for patients... for families... for research.
For more information on this event, please contact Jim or Carol at email@example.com

DBAF Funds Two More Research Projects
Last month, we announced the funding of Swedish researcher Dr. Johan Flygare's project titled: Identification of Genetic and Chemical Modifiers of Erythropoiesis in Diamond Blackfan Anemia. This month, we are pleased to announce the funding of two more prominent DBA researchers.
The Diamond Blackfan Anemia Foundation is proud to fund Dr. Irma Dianzani's project entitled: Understanding the causes of remission in DBA patients. Dr. Dianzani, Professor, University of Eastern Piedmont, Novara, Italy was awarded an initial $30,000 to begin her important research, with the intent of funding an additional $30,000 based on the progress of her findings and the availability of funds.
The goal of this project is to understand the molecular basis of remission in DBA patients. While remission occurs in approximately 20% of patients, the causes are unknown. Dr. Dianzani proposes to identify genes that, when mutated, lead to remission in DBA patients. The identification of genetic and molecular alterations resulting in disease remission is anticipated to reveal novel genetic and/or molecular pathways that may be therapeutically targeted in DBA treatment. Buona fortuna Dr. Dianzani and team!
Last Summer at Camp Sunshine, the Diamond Blackfan Anemia Foundation presented Hanna Gazda, MD, Ph.D a check for $51,512 towards her project entitled: New gene discoveries and biology of ribosomes in Diamond Blackfan Anemia.
The DBAF is proud to once again support her continuing efforts on this important project and has awarded Dr. Gazda, Instructor in Pediatrics, Harvard University, Children's Hospital Boston, $41,028 to continue her efforts in identifying genes mutated in DBA patients. Dr. Gazda has played a major role in the identification of several of the known DBA genes. Further, her discoveries have clearly established DBA as a ribosomopathy which has helped direct research efforts on many aspects of the disorder. We are grateful to Dr. Gazda for her commitment to Diamond Blackfan Anemia and wish her and her colleagues continued success!
The DBAF sincerely thanks all our donors for your support. Without you, we would not be able to fund these exciting projects. As you can see, these worldwide research projects have the potential to answer questions, to identify genes, to unlock the mystery of remission, and to provide insights into therapeutic agents. These projects also represent the hopes of all of us for a better understanding, better treatment options, and possibly a cure for our "orphan disorder." Please help us to continue funding critical research.
Donating is easy and all contributions are tax-deductable. Please visit our Donate Page for details. If you are interested in organizing a fundraiser to benefit the DBAF, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Christopher Vroman and Matthew Pulnik meet at Matthew's "DBA Fun Day"
Brandi Adams and her best friend are "fishing for a cure"
Over the past ten years, the Adams family of Four Oaks, NC has raised tens of thousands of dollars through their Annual DBA Fishing Tournament. Tracy Adams has worked tirelessly to organize this event in honor of her 16 year old daughter, Brandi. Tracy stated, "I will not stop fighting for a cure... unless I die!"
Tracy and her family understand the importance of getting involved. While this event raises awareness for DBA, the money they have raised has helped to fund numerous research projects. The Adams family recognizes the need for families to support research and is committed to their daughter and all DBA patients. Tracy said, "We hope and pray for a cure for DBA for our daughter and all DBA patients. These children and adults live in a shadow of an illness for which there is yet a cure, but... they dream. With everyone's help and support, I pray we can make their dreams come true."
This year's offshore event will take place on Saturday, August 27 from 9:00am to 1:00pm. The "biggest fish" wins a deep sea fishing trip for four people and many more prizes will be given away. Entry fee is $10.00 per person and all ages are welcome to participate. Need a new t-shirt? Advertise your business or name by becoming a $100 sponsor or purchase your DBA t-shirt for $10. Hurry, the deadline for sponsorships and prepaid t-shirts is August 20. For more information,contact Tracy at 919-625-7929.
As a DBA patient, or a caregiver of a DBA patient, keeping medical records, appointments, questions, and pertinent information accessible and organized is often an overwhelming task. To assist our patients and families, a Care Notebook designed specifically for DBA patients is available! These materials were created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in collaboration with doctors, nurses, other professionals, and DBA families and are being distributed by the Diamond Blackfan Anemia Foundation. If you are interested in having one of these binders, please contact Dawn at 716.674.2818 (Eastern time) or by email at email@example.com.
Did you move? Need to add a new address? Are you a recently diagnosed family? If you did not receive the Spring/Summer DBA Newsletter in the mail, it may mean we do not have your current mailing address. To stay informed, update your contact information at
If you have any questions, contact Dawn at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Is there a new gene on the DBA horizon? A gene that doesn't so much cause the disease, but instead, influences some aspect of disease presentation or response to treatment; a so called modifier gene to use genetic parlance. The gene in question encodes the glucocorticoid receptor, a protein which binds glucocorticoids (corticosteroids, steroids) and subsequently influences the expression of many genes controlling many aspects of human growth and development ..... including erythropoiesis. The human glucocorticoid receptor gene is complex, expressing a number of different forms of the protein with likely influence how different tissues respond to glucocorticoids. There are two major forms of glucocorticoid receptor, GRα which mediates many effects of glucocorticoids and GRβ which appears to antagonize the effect of GRα1. The glucocorticoid receptor is also highly polymorphic, harboring sequence changes between individuals which may influence how a particular individual responds to glucocorticoids.
The discourse above leads us to this month's Journal Club, a manuscript by Varricchio et al [Blood (2011) 118:425-438 entitled, The dominant negative β isoform of the glucocorticoid receptor is uniquely expressed in erythroid cells expanded from polycythemia vera patients. Now individuals with polycythemia vera have exactly the opposite problem as patients with DBA; they have too many red blood cells rather than too few. But, what this manuscript shows is that the increased number of red blood cells in patients with polycythemia vera is linked, in part, to a particular mutation that enhances the expression of GRβ. The effect of GRβ on promoting enhanced red cell production is complex and beyond the scope of this Journal Club, but this paper raises the issue that polymorphisms in the glucocorticoid receptor gene can influence red cell production. This observation raises the question of whether there may be polymorphisms in the glucocorticoid receptor gene that dampen responses to steroids and if so, whether such polymorphisms are found in the glucocorticoid receptor gene of DBA patients that fail to respond effectively to steroids. Alternatively, there may be polymorphisms in the glucocorticoid receptor gene that are associated with a positive response of DBA patients to steroids.
The relationships between genes and outcomes are often referred to as genotype/phenotype relationships. These relationships have been difficult to decipher in DBA patients because we do not as yet know all the causative genes and that potential modifier genes could lie anywhere in the tens of thousands of genes encoded by the human genome. Oftentimes, large sample sizes are needed to identify such modifier genes, a seemingly insurmountable challenge for a rare disease like DBA. Nevertheless, when good candidate genes stand out for modifier effects, such as the glucocorticoid receptor gene discussed here, there is hope that by studying these genes in the DBA patient population, we may someday be able to predict from a genetic test whether a patient with respond to drugs like steroids. Further, should we be able to identify modifier genes linked to other variables in the DBA patient population, like remission, we may someday be able to predict the likelihood of these events as well. As information continues to grow in both clinical and genetic databases covering the DBA patient population these complex interrelationships will ultimately be deciphered leading to further enhancements in the care.

'Bobbi Kristina' Biopic Dives Into Troubled Life Of Whitney Houston's Daughter — Watch Trailer
We know the story of Whitney Houston, but what about her daughter? The new TV biopic will take a look at Bobbi Kristina's life, and what it was like growing up in the shadow of her superstar parents.
Bobbi Kristina, a new biopic debuting on TV One on October 8, will give the world a look at the life of Bobbi Kristina Brown that we never knew. As Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston's only daughter, she was under a great deal of pressure — and in the midst of it all, she fell for Nick Gordon.
The trailer started with the news of Bobbi Kristina, 22, being found in the bathroom in 2015, then flashes back to 2012, just after her mother's passing. "Do you think I'd be a good singer?" Bobbi (played by Joy Rovaris) asks in the new trailer, while a a man responds, "Is it what you want to do or what you think you're supposed to do?" It seems like it's the second option as we also see a flashback to a fight between she and her mother, played by Real Housewives of Atlanta's Demetria McKinney, in which Bobbi screams at her.
"Everything is always about Whitney; I can never sing as well as you, I can never be the superstar that you are," she yells at her mom, who responds with, "You are the most beautiful thing I have ever made."
As for her relationship with Nick Gordon, we see Bobbi telling her aunt Pat Houston (played by Vivica A. Fox) that he's "the single best thing that's happened to me since my mom." Bobbi and Nick (played by Naadji Jeter) have many moments in the movie, including one where he tells her, "It's me and you against the world, baby."
Of course, Nick was found liable for Bobbi Kristina's death in 2016 and had to pay $36 million to her estate. HollywoodLifers, will you watch Bobbi Kristina?

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama observed during remarks at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday that this year is the first Memorial Day in 14 years "that the United States is not engaged in a major ground war."
Saying that for "many of us, this Memorial Day is especially meaningful," Obama noted the winding down of America's combat mission in Afghanistan.
"On this day we honor the sacrifice of thousands of American service members — men and women who gave their lives since 9/11, including more than 2,200 American patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan," he said.
He later added that many Americans don't fully witness the sacrifices veterans make for their country: "The sacrifice that preserves the freedoms we too often take for granted."
"Few know what it's like to take a bullet for a buddy or to live with the fact that he or she took one for you," he said.
