Scientists map great white shark genome, revealing clues about cancer and healing wounds
Can learning about the great white shark help protect us from cancer?
- Scientists have mapped the entire genome of the great white shark.
- The team found genetic adaptations that seem to help the fish preserve and repair its genome, clues that may help us better understand why sharks rarely get cancer.
- The team also identified several gene pathways that might also help explain the fish's extraordinary wound-healing capabilities.
An international team of scientists has decoded the entire genome of the great white shark, an achievement that could help us better fight cancer and learn more about the fish's extraordinary healing capabilities.
How could the great white shark – an apex predator that can reach 20 feet long and 7,000 pounds – provide humanity with potentially life-saving knowledge about cancer and other diseases? For one, the great white shark is a champion of evolution; its DNA has been fine-tuned by millions of years spent thriving in the world's oceans with no natural predators. Mapping the great white's genome could illuminate the keys to this evolutionary success.
The team, which published its findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, compared the great white's genome to that of humans and other vertebrates. The researchers found patterns of DNA sequence changes that indicated molecular adaptation in genes related to maintaining genome stability, through functions including DNA damage response, DNA repair and DNA damage tolerance – all of which can protect against cancer.
This might explain why sharks rarely suffer from the disease.
"Not only were there a surprisingly high number of genome stability genes that contained these adaptive changes, but there was also an enrichment of several of these genes, highlighting the importance of this genetic fine-tuning in the white shark," Mahmood Shivji, Ph.D., director of NSU's Save Our Seas Foundation Shark Research Center and GHRI, said in a statement.
The researchers also found that the great white's genome contains one of the highest proportions of transposons – also known as "jumping genes" – ever discovered among vertebrates.
"These LINEs are known to cause genome instability by creating double stranded breaks in DNA," study co-author Michael Stanhope said in a statement. "It's plausible that this proliferation of LINEs in the white shark genome could represent a strong selective agent for the evolution of efficient DNA repair mechanisms, and is reflected in the positive selection and enrichment of so many genome stability genes."

In addition to being able to preserve and repair genetic information, sharks are also known for their uncanny ability to recover from external injuries. For example, a 2015 study on blacktip reef sharks found they were able to heal wounds rapidly – sometimes within days – even when injuries were severe.
"We found positive selection and gene content enrichments involving several genes tied to some of the most fundamental pathways in wound healing, including in a key blood clotting gene," Stanhope said. "These adaptations involving wound healing genes may underlie the vaunted ability of sharks to heal efficiently from even large wounds."
Uncovering the 'tip of the iceberg' in shark genome research
The great white shark's ability to protect its genome may well help humans someday do the same, but it'll take years to incorporate these findings into approved treatments.
"Genome instability is a very important issue in many serious human diseases; now we find that nature has developed clever strategies to maintain the stability of genomes in these large-bodied, long-lived sharks," said Shivji. "There's still tons to be learned from these evolutionary marvels, including information that will potentially be useful to fight cancer and age-related diseases, and improve wound healing treatments in humans, as we uncover how these animals do it."

COVID-19 amplified America's devastating health gap. Can we bridge it?
The COVID-19 pandemic is making health disparities in the United States crystal clear. It is a clarion call for health care systems to double their efforts in vulnerable communities.
- The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated America's health disparities, widening the divide between the haves and have nots.
- Studies show disparities in wealth, race, and online access have disproportionately harmed underserved U.S. communities during the pandemic.
- To begin curing this social aliment, health systems like Northwell Health are establishing relationships of trust in these communities so that the post-COVID world looks different than the pre-COVID one.
COVID-19 deepens U.S. health disparities
Communities on the pernicious side of America's health disparities have their unique histories, environments, and social structures. They are spread across the United States, but they all have one thing in common.

"There is one common divide in American communities, and that is poverty," said Debbie Salas-Lopez, MD, MPH, senior vice president of community and population health at Northwell Health. "That is the undercurrent that manifests poor health, poor health outcomes, or poor health prognoses for future wellbeing."

Social determinants have far-reaching effects on health, and poor communities have unfavorable social determinants. To pick one of many examples, food insecurity reduces access to quality food, leading to poor health and communal endemics of chronic medical conditions. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified some of these conditions, such as obesity and Type 2 diabetes, as increasing the risk of developing a severe case of coronavirus.

The pandemic didn't create poverty or food insecurity, but it exacerbated both, and the results have been catastrophic. A study published this summer in the Journal of General Internal Medicine suggested that "social factors such as income inequality may explain why some parts of the USA are hit harder by the COVID-19 pandemic than others."

That's not to say better-off families in the U.S. weren't harmed. A paper from the Centre for Economic Policy Research noted that families in counties with a higher median income experienced adjustment costs associated with the pandemic—for example, lowering income-earning interactions to align with social distancing policies. However, the paper found that the costs of social distancing were much greater for poorer families, who cannot easily alter their living circumstances, which often include more individuals living in one home and a reliance on mass transit to reach work and grocery stores. They are also disproportionately represented in essential jobs, such as retail, transportation, and health care, where maintaining physical distance can be all but impossible.

The paper also cited a positive correlation between higher income inequality and higher rates of coronavirus infection. "Our interpretation is that poorer people are less able to protect themselves, which leads them to different choices—they face a steeper trade-off between their health and their economic welfare in the context of the threats posed by COVID-19," the authors wrote.

"There are so many pandemics that this pandemic has exacerbated," Dr. Salas-Lopez noted.

One example is the health-wealth gap. The mental stressors of maintaining a low socioeconomic status, especially in the face of extreme affluence, can have a physically degrading impact on health. Writing on this gap, Robert Sapolsky, professor of biology and neurology at Stanford University, notes that socioeconomic stressors can increase blood pressure, reduce insulin response, increase chronic inflammation, and impair the prefrontal cortex and other brain functions through anxiety, depression, and cognitive load.

"Thus, from the macro level of entire body systems to the micro level of individual chromosomes, poverty finds a way to produce wear and tear," Sapolsky writes. "It is outrageous that if children are born into the wrong family, they will be predisposed toward poor health by the time they start to learn the alphabet."
Research on the economic and mental health fallout of COVID-19 is showing two things: That unemployment is hitting low-income and young Americans most during the pandemic, potentially widening the health-wealth gap further; and that the pandemic not only exacerbates mental health stressors, but is doing so at clinically relevant levels. As the authors of one review wrote, the pandemic's effects on mental health is itself an international public health priority.

Novel coronavirus may spread and infect indiscriminately, but pre-existing conditions, environmental stressors, and a lack of access to care and resources increase the risk of infection. These social determinants make the pandemic more dangerous, and erode communities' and families' abilities to heal from health crises that pre-date the pandemic.

How do we eliminate these divides? Dr. Salas-Lopez says the first step is recognition. "We have to open our eyes to see the suffering around us," she said. "Northwell has not shied away from that."

"We are steadfast in improving health outcomes for our vulnerable and underrepresented communities that have suffered because of the prevalence of chronic disease, a problem that led to the disproportionately higher death rate among African-Americans and Latinos during the COVID-19 pandemic," said Michael Dowling, Northwell's president and CEO. "We are committed to using every tool at our disposal—as a provider of health care, employer, purchaser and investor—to combat disparities and ensure the equity of care that everyone deserves."

With the need recognized, Dr. Salas-Lopez calls for health care systems to travel upstream and be proactive in those hard-hit communities. This requires health care systems to play a strong role, but not a unilateral one. They must build partnerships with leaders in those communities and utilize those to ensure relationships last beyond the current crisis.

"We must meet with community leaders and talk to them to get their perspective on what they believe the community needs are and should be for the future. Together, we can co-create a plan to measurably improve [community] health and also to be ready for whatever comes next," she said.

Northwell has built relationships with local faith-based and community organizations in underserved communities of color. Those partnerships enabled Northwell to test more than 65,000 people across the metro New York region. The health system also offered education on coronavirus and precautions to curb its spread.

These initiatives began the process of building trust—trust that Northwell has counted on to return to these communities to administer flu vaccines to prepare for what experts fear may be a difficult flu season.

While Northwell has begun building bridges across the divides of the New York area, much will still need to be done to cure U.S. health care overall. There is hope that the COVID pandemic will awaken us to the deep disparities in the US.

"COVID has changed our world. We have to seize this opportunity, this pandemic, this crisis to do better," Dr. Salas-Lopez said. "Provide better care. Provide better health. Be better partners. Be better community citizens. And treat each other with respect and dignity.

"We need to find ways to unify this country because we're all human beings. We're all created equal, and we believe that health is one of those important rights."

Vegans are more likely to suffer broken bones, study finds
Vegans and vegetarians often have nutrient deficiencies and lower BMI, which can increase the risk of fractures.
- The study found that vegans were 43% more likely to suffer fractures than meat eaters.
- Similar results were observed for vegetarians and fish eaters, though to a lesser extent.
- It's possible to be healthy on a vegan diet, though it takes some strategic planning to compensate for the nutrients that a plant-based diet can't easily provide.
Comparison of fracture cases by diet group

The results showed that vegans were especially vulnerable to hip fractures, suffering 2.3 times more cases than meat-eaters. Vegetarians and pescatarians were also more likely to suffer hip fractures, though to a lesser extent.

One explanation may be that non-meat eaters consume less calcium and protein. Calcium helps the body build strong bones, particularly before age 30, after which the body begins to lose bone mineral density (though consuming enough calcium through diet or supplement can help offset losses). Lower bone mineral density means higher risk of fracture.

Protein seems to help the body absorb calcium, when consumed in normal levels. The recent study, along with past research, shows that people who don't eat meat tend to have lower levels of both protein and calcium. When the researchers accounted for non-meat eaters who supplemented their diets with calcium and protein, fracture risk decreased, but still remained significant.

Another explanation is body mass index (BMI). Non-meat eaters tend to have a lower BMI, which is associated with higher fracture risk, particularly hip fractures. In the new study, vegans with a low BMI were especially likely to suffer hip fractures. That might be because having more body mass provides a cushioning effect when people fall.

Still, the study has some limitations. For one, White European women were overrepresented in the sample. The researchers also didn't collect precise data on the type of calcium or protein supplementation, diet quality or causes of fractures.

Another complicating factor: Producers of vegan products, such as plant-based milk, are increasingly fortifying foods with nutrients like calcium and protein, so modern vegans are potentially at lower risk of deficiency.

The researchers wrote that their findings "suggest that bone health in vegans requires further research."

Staying healthy on a vegan diet
So, does a vegan diet necessarily lead to worse bone health? Not necessarily. But it's safe to say that people who don't consume meat, dairy and eggs should be extra vigilant about consuming enough essential nutrients. That can be harder than it seems.

One major reason is that the body generally has an easier time absorbing nutrients from animal foods than plant-based products. So, while a salad could contain the same amount of calcium as a glass of milk, the body absorbs more calcium when you drink milk. What's more, there are some molecules and nutrients you simply can't get from plants.

As such, many vegans round out their diets with supplements, including zinc, iron, iodine, long-chain omega-3s, and vitamins D, K-2, and B-12, to name a few. If you're on a vegan diet or considering making the switch, it's probably best to consult a dietician, and to make sure you maintain a healthy BMI.

Look behind you!
The reviewers would be allowed to compete in the challenges right?
Weekly game contests.Not to point out the obvious, but don't we already have those?
This seems like a great idea. Would they be like, mini EGDs?
woop!!and new game makerS? plural? We know about the first person shooter maker, could the other be the tower defense maker ravi suggested? (from vinnei's idea)
No, no, no. Forum changes. FORUM. I mean look for people good at making games.
After EGD blows over, I came up with an idea to hold weekly game contests. I need editors and reviewers to pm me if they are interested. I ALSO WANT PRIVATES AND SOLDIERS TO LOOK FOR NEW UPCOMING GAME MAKERS! I will make a thread in gamesharing for you guys to post them in.This is going to require a lot of forum involvement to turn out right, but things are going to change. The goal of my idea is to make the forum more interactive. So I would appreciate involvement.

text: Today, technically I'm not at work, but I'll still be doing some archaeology! In March I started a post-doc (a research position design for someone fresh from their doctoral thesis) in the Netherlands. It was all very sudden- once I accepted the job I had about 5 weeks to up sticks and move to another country that I'd only visited once, and could only manage the absolute basics linguistically. The role is part time- four days a week, which is great because on my day off I can do some work on my own research- a PhD doesn't stop when you graduate! I need to write papers based on my research, and get them published. This will be good for me; publishing lots is key to getting (and keeping) academic jobs- and ultimately I want to be a lecturer. It's also very important for the subject. We've got an obligation, whether we work in commercial or 'university' or community archaeology, to get our results published and into the public domain.

FREEZE-FRAME: Tightening its bonds with the photographic world, Hermès International's philanthropic arm has announced it will support the next three editions of the influential biennial Prix Henri Cartier-Bresson international photography prize, in 2013, 2015 and 2017.
The prize grants a photographer 35,000 euros, or $46,627 at current exchange, to realize a project that they could not have undertaken without its support. It also involves an exhibition at Paris' Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, as well as the publication of a catalog.
Along with donating a total of 150,000 euros, or $199,832, to support the initiative, the Fondation d'Entreprise Hermès will give the winning artist the opportunity to exhibit in its own photography spaces around the world, notably its galleries in Berne, Switzerland, and New York. Hermès artistic director Pierre-Alexis Dumas, who is also president of the foundation, will be one of seven jury members for the prize.
The late Jean-Louis Dumas, chief executive officer of Hermès International from 1978 to 2006, was a keen amateur photographer. An exhibition dedicated to him was staged at Paris' Maison Européenne de la Photographie in 2008.

Stop Calling It A Blog, Please
by Andy Boyle.
News organizations, can we all do ourselves a favor? We should stop calling things "blogs." I know, that probably stings a little, but let me try and explain why.
A little history first: In the early days of News Organizations On The Internet, your content went into a content management system. It was probably clunky (probably still is), hard to customize and maybe even harder to rebrand different sections. Your stories went into this CMS, sometimes through a pagination system, then you added a photo, maybe a video. You clicked a button and poof, story on the internet. But what if you wanted to set up a special corner, call it "Mary the Margarita Maven" and have someone review the town's margaritas? Not so easy to do with your current setup.
Enter blogs. They were their own content management systems: Moveable Type, TypePad, WordPress, whatever they were called, they made it easy for news organization to quickly throw up different content that maybe didn't fit the traditional "news" role. Maybe it was opinionated, maybe it was about inside decision-making processes, maybe it was cute cat photos. Or margarita reviews, whatever. These content management systems were, on the whole, like the ones your news organizations used originally, just programmed with different backends and usually easier-to-use. And sometimes this content didn't go into the newspaper/broadcast — it was "online-only" and meant to entice people to your web product.
Sadly, blogs brought along a stigma that people still use – which is wrong — that they're done by people in their pajamas in a basement somewhere. Blogs are not the same as regular news content, some media folks thought, because they weren't in your "main" CMS. They had a wall between them and they are different. They may even be branded differently, with a different header and logo. They weren't the same as regular content because they were in a different system! Right?
It's time to stop bifurcating your content as blogs and news because they run on separate systems. It is all content, so why not call it that? Even if you have outside people writing posts on your website that are unmoderated by your staff — that's still content that's part of your media outlet's website. I don't have any research proving this, but in my short journalism career many media outlets just slapped the name "blog" on something because it lived in a different CMS. We should stop this. Please.
You have a crime blog? A doggy blog? Maybe a sports blog? Wonderful! I bet you gave it a cool name, like Crime Watch, Fido's Place and Sports Gal. All you have to do is stop calling it the Crime Watch blog. And the Fido's Place blog. And the Sports Gal blog. Just say "Check out Crime Watch for more crime coverage." Or whatever.
If it's opinion content, call it that. If it's news content, great! That's what it is. Start thinking of it all as content as opposed to "this is a blog post" and "this is a news story." If you copied a news story and pasted it into a blog post, DOES IT SOMEHOW CHANGE? No. It does not.
I know calling things "blogs" has some cultural cachet, as if a blog is somehow more up-to-date than your normal news content. But again, that's probably because your main content management system is clunky and slow and the new "blog" is super duper fast. That's a silly reason to distinguish between the content. Did you credit photos taken with digital cameras instead of film in a different way? Of course you didn't (I hope). You can change people's thinking on this — why distinguish one part of your content as fast and the other as slow? Stop it.
Let's work on making our systems more integrated and faster. Help your readers come to realize that all of your content is fast and awesome. It'll take some rebranding work, sure, but I bet our industry is capable of it.
So embrace your content, people. Give it a hug and a pat on the head and maybe a slice of pizza. Welcome it into your news community. I apologize for any rebranding you may have to do, but trust me, it's going to be worth it in the long run.
UPDATE: Hey new visitors! Feel free to yell at me on Twitter (@andymboyle) or comment below. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Ricco Rodriguez was arrested this past weekend by Phoenix police after a scuffle with a taxi driver and police.
Fox news affiliate MyFoxPhoenix.com reported the news on Wednesday. A representative for the Phoenix Police Department verified to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Rodriguez was arrested this past Sunday but declined to offer details on the case.
Rodriguez's representatives were unreachable for comment.
The Fox report stated that Rodriguez was arrested after the taxi driver called 911. Rodriguez allegedly refused to pay a $70 tab for a ride to a South Phoenix bar called the Garage. Rodriguez allegedly threw the driver to the ground as police arrived, and he resisted arrest when officers attempted to take him into custody.
It took several officers to restrain the former champion, and one was allegedly shoved into a wall, the report said. Rodriguez reportedly sustained a minor injury to his elbow in the scuffle.
Rodriguez has been charged with assault and resisting arrest.
Rodriguez (46-11) most recently fought overseas this past February at BAMMA 6 where he defeated "The Ultimate Fighter 10" veteran James McSweeney by decision. He recently took to MMAjunkie.com Radio to express his desire to return to the UFC – his current win streak stands at 11 – but talk of a return to the octagon appears to have cooled.

Mineola, N.Y., community group buys lab once owned by Nikola Tesla
MINEOLA, N.Y. -- A New York community group that raised $1.3 million in a six-week Internet crowd funding effort last year has purchased a laboratory once used by visionary scientist Nikola Tesla.
Jane Alcorn is president of the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe on Long Island. Her group bought the Tesla lab and property last week for $850,000.
Tesla was a rival of Thomas Edison who imagined a world of free electricity. He conducted experiments in the early 20th century at his laboratory in Shoreham, about 65 miles east of New York City.
Volunteers had struggled for nearly two decades to acquire the property. They got a jolt of support last year when Seattle cartoonist Matthew Inman promoted the effort on his website, theoatmeal.com.
Within weeks, they had $1.3 million.

Albuquerque, New Mexico, May 20, 2014 – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced today that $15 million in targeted assistance will be provided to help farmers, ranchers and private forest owners in rural areas of 20 states that experience "persistent poverty." The funding, part of USDA's StrikeForce initiative, was announced on the Secretary's behalf by Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Chief Jason Weller during a visit to predominantly Native American and Hispanic American communities in New Mexico.
"This funding, leveraged with the support of public and local partners, is growing rural economies," Weller said. "This is a strategy that creates sustainable jobs and improves lives in rural communities across the country and right here in New Mexico. USDA's StrikeForce helps producers improve their lands and provides a way to break the cycle of rural poverty."
Through NRCS, USDA will provide technical and financial assistance in StrikeForce areas, including $450,000 in rural New Mexico. Weller said, through StrikeForce, USDA is now working with 80 percent more farmers and ranchers than before in persistent poverty counties and has invested a total of $652 million in targeted conservation funding since 2010.
StrikeForce funds, provided through the USDA Environmental Quality Incentives Program, can be used for conservation activities, including water conservation improvements and soil protection. Applications are accepted at local USDA Service Centers.
USDA's StrikeForce for Rural Growth and Opportunity provides assistance in rural communities with a special emphasis on historically underserved farmers, ranchers and communities in counties with persistent poverty. More than 700 rural counties, parishes, boroughs and tribal reservations are part of the StrikeForce effort, including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer. To file a complaint of discrimination, write: USDA, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Office of Adjudication, 1400 Independence Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410 or call (866) 632-9992 (Toll-free Customer Service), (800) 877-8339 (Local or Federal relay), (866) 377-8642 (Relay voice users).

(000825) B/Mores Bio E Caps 500IU 2x60s
Product Description
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin that protects cell membranes from damage. It is incorporated into the cell membranes and helps maintain their integrity throughout the body.
As an antioxidant vitamin E acts as a 'free-radical scavenger'. Free radicals are common in the body, arising through a variety of mechanisms. Some are generated in the body as part of normal energy-producing processes, some are generated by pollutants such as air pollution, and some are generated by lifestyle factors such as excess dietary fats, cigarette smoke, and alcohol ingestion. Many of these free radicals are dealt with by the body's own antioxidant defences.
Some free radicals escape these defences, and tend to accumulate. Research suggests that this accumulation of free radicals can result in cellular damage.
Vitamin E helps maintain heart health as it can help to protect artery walls from free radical damage. A damaged artery wall is more susceptible to developing plaques, which are raised patches on the normally thin and elastic inner wall of the artery. These plaques are composed of a number of substances which include oxidized LDL-cholesterol. Large plaques in arteries can end up obstructing blood circulation.
Vitamin E helps protect fat and cholesterol, particularly LDL-cholesterol, from oxidation. Fats and cholesterol are very susceptible to free radical damage, which leads to the formation of a toxic derivative called oxidized LDL-cholesterol. It is currently understood that LDL-cholesterol is only harmful to the body after it has become oxidized.
Features and benefits:
Contains naturally sourced vitamin E which is better absorbed and retained than synthetic forms of vitamin
Easy-to-swallow capsule.
Adults - Take 1 capsule daily with a meal.
Children under 12 years - Not recommended.
Contraindications & Cautions
Always read the label. Use only as directed.
Active Ingredients Per Capsule:
Vitamin E (Natural source) 500 IU.

Talk about Gun Control: Middle Finger vs Gun Pointing Pennsylvania man's 'gunlike hand gesture' toward neighbor was a crime, court rules
Written by Peter Boykin on August 29, 2019
#MagaFirstNews 8.29.19
MSNBC's O'Donnell retracts unverified Trump-Russia story, makes on-air apology
MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell on Wednesday night retracted a story that directly tied President Trump's finances to Russia and made an on-air apology for running the unverified report. "Last night on this show, I discussed information that wasn't ready for reporting," O'Donnell said. "I repeated statements a single source told me about the president's finances and loan documents with Deutsche Bank. Saying 'if true' — as I discussed the information — was simply not good enough. I did not go through the rigorous verification and standards process here at MSNBC before repeating what I heard from my source. Had it gone through that process, I would not have been permitted to report it. I should not have said it on-air or posted it on Twitter. I was wrong to do so."
High-profile Democrats fail to qualify for primary debates in September
Several struggling Democratic presidential candidates have failed to qualify for the next round of primary debates scheduled in September. Those missing the cut include U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado, billionaire climate-change activist Tom Steyer, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock and self-help guru Marianne Williamson. To appear on stage in Houston next month, they had to hit 2 percent in at least four approved public opinion polls while securing 130,000 unique donors.
Hours ahead of a midnight Wednesday deadline to qualify, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York announced she was dropping out of the race. In an interview on "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Gabbard complained that the Democratic National Committee lacks "transparency" in the debate qualification process.
Omar hit with FEC complaint, accused of paying alleged lover's travel expenses with campaign funds
The conservative, Virginia-based National Legal and Policy Center filed a complaint against Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Wednesday, alleging that the lawmaker used campaign funds to illegally reimburse her purported paramour for personal travel expenses. The complaint also charges that Omar failed to itemize travel reimbursements as required by the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 — and that the travel expenses increased during the same month that Omar's alleged affair with married Washington, D.C., political consultant Tim Mynett, 38, heated up. Omar has denied that she had an affair with Mynett, and her attorneys have dismissed the FEC complaint as a baseless "political ploy."
Dorian takes aim at Florida
Hurricane Dorian moved out over open waters early Thursday after doing limited damage in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, and forecasters warn it could hit Florida over the weekend. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Dorian was expected to strengthen into a dangerous Category 3 hurricane as it stayed well to the east of the southeastern and central Bahamas over the next two days. The forecast called for the storm to pass near or over the northern Bahamas on Saturday and close in on Florida by Sunday afternoon.
DHS bars Dem staffers from visiting border facilities after 'rude' and 'disruptive' behavior
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has barred Democratic staffers from the House Oversight Committee from visiting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facilities at the U.S.-Mexico border as part of a planned trip this week after committee staff allegedly were "disruptive" and refused to follow instructions during their last trip. Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., had sent his staff to visit border facilities for "oversight inspections" last week and planned to send staff again to view Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and CBP centers.
DHS has revoked access to CBP facilities for the upcoming visit, citing staff behavior that "interfered" with law enforcement operations — including refusing to leave one site after their scheduled window, skipping some tours and being "rude" to officers. A DHS official said that ICE visits will still be allowed the rest of this week, but with a two-hour time limit.
Uber driver bitten in Georgia attack that left car damaged, woman arrested
A Georgia woman was arrested after police say she was caught on camera attacking an Uber driver — by biting him and trying to damage his car.
Tasheena Campbell, 26, was taken into custody Aug. 20 — days after the incident in which she allegedly attacked driver Yasser Hadi in midtown Atlanta on Aug. 18.
A video uploaded to Twitter of the attacks begins with a woman — identified by WAGA as Campbell — sitting on the hood of a car, breaking off a windshield wiper. Bystanders and Hadi encourage her to stop, before the woman throws a punch at Hadi.
The woman hops off the car and enters the vehicle through the driver-side door while Hadi tries to stop her. "Get out my car!" he shouts, as he pulls the woman out to the ground. The woman tries punching the Uber driver — before biting him, prompting him to scream.
Tasheena Campbell, 26, was charged with battery and criminal trespass following the incident. It's unclear what sparked the altercation. Hadi said Campbell appeared out of nowhere and randomly attacked him.
"She's acting weird, she's acting wild, and she's on the car hitting it, telling me I need to die, to kill me," Hadi told WAGA of the encounter. "The pain, I said, "God, just let her take my flesh, I don't care. I want her to go away from me."
The Uber driver said the situation is "horrible."
"She's hit me in my job, my health and my financial pocket money, it's hard," said Hadi, noting he doesn't have insurance. "I'm in a bad situation. I wish people see this and help." Campbell was arrested and charged with battery and criminal trespass, according to online records from the Fulton County Jail. She was still in custody as of Thursday.
Kentucky mother Andrea Knabel, a volunteer who searches for missing people, reported missing
A Kentucky mother of two who searches for missing people has now seemingly disappeared herself.
Andrea Knabel, 37, was last seen leaving a relative's home in the Audubon Park neighborhood of Louisville around 1 a.m. on Aug. 13, according to Missing in America, the organization for which she volunteers.
Around 1:30 a.m., she used her cellphone to call her friend and ask for a ride, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported. Several security cameras are located in the neighborhood, but many weren't active when she was in the area.
A friend of Knabel's told WAVE the single mother "was upset and she needed a ride" — and was too trusting of other people.
"Obviously she was trying to get ahold of people, maybe she got in the car with the wrong person," said Maricia Kidd, who has known Knabel for 30 years. She noted Knabel's car was recently totaled in a hit-and-run accident and said she'd been laid off at work.
"Here she is helping to locate people and she comes up missing herself," said Tracy Leonard, a private investigator and friend of Knabel. "She's just a super great girl. She helped me locate a missing teen about a year and a half ago."
The group's founder, Nancy Schaefer Smith, said that Knabel, a "dedicated member" of Missing in America, is the first volunteer ever to disappear like this.
"She is loved by so many people," Smith told the Courier-Journal. "It's all hands on deck. She's my girl…We're going to find her."
Knabel is described as a white female with light brown hair. She weighs between 190 to 200 pounds and is around 5 feet 7 inches tall. She was last seen wearing a "light color tank top and white shorts."
Anyone with information is urged to contact Leonard at 502-618-9337 or Smith at 502-500-3026, or the Louisville Metro Police at 502-574-5673.
Pennsylvania man's 'gunlike hand gesture' toward neighbor was a crime, court rules
A Pennsylvania court ruled Tuesday that making a "gunlike hand gesture" is a crime after a man-made the hand motion during an argument with his neighbor — an act which reportedly made several nearby residents nervous and prompted a call to police.
Stephen Kirchner, 64, made the gesture toward his neighbor in Manor Township in June 2018, according to surveillance video. Kirchner, walking alongside a female neighbor, "stopped, made eye contact with [the male neighbor] and then made a hand gesture at him imitating the firing and recoiling of a gun," according to court documents.
The action made one neighbor feel "extremely threatened" and he called 911. Another neighbor said she saw Kirchner "put his finger up like he was going to shoot [the neighbor]", "insecure," prompting her to call 911.
Kirchner and the female neighbor Kirchner had been walking with previously had issues and confrontations, sparking the neighbor to install six security cameras on his property. At the time of the incident in 2018, the female neighbor had a "no contact" order against the neighbor who felt threatened, court documents indicate.
Kirchner was issued a citation for disorderly conduct following the incident. He said in district court he made the "gunlike" gesture after his neighbor gave him "the finger with both hands."
The 64-year-old was found guilty, but appealed, arguing the hand gesture didn't "create a hazardous or physically offensive condition." Kirchner said he didn't mean to cause public alarm, and there wasn't really any harm done to the neighbor or others.
On Tuesday, however, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania found the gesture "served no legitimate purpose, and recklessly risked provoking a dangerous altercation."
Kirchner was ordered to pay a $100 fine and court costs.

Swarovski Crystals for Dance Costumes
Here at Crystal Parade we have everything you need to crystallize your dance costumes with Swarovski crystals.
Your dance costume can be one of the most fun and elaborate pieces of clothing you will wear, take ballroom dancing, way back in the day when ballroom dancing began it was customary for the ladies to wear a beautiful gown that attracted lots of attention while the man would look handsome and refined. Dance fashion has changed throughout the years with more sparkle and a wealth of different dance fabrics to choose from. Take freestyle dancing, originally known as Disco in the 1970's , leg warmers, a sweatshirt and headband, now its fully crystallized lycra, big hair and plumes. Irish Dance costumes reflect the clothing of Ireland from the eighth century. The dresses worn by the dancers are copies of the traditional Irish peasant dress and they are adorned with hand-embroidered Celtic designs and lots of Swarovski crystals.
It can be a mind field to navigate when starting out and crystallizing your dance costumes with Swarovski Crystals, so where do you start when it comes to crystallizing your dance costume. The most popular size of crystals used to embellish dance costumes in Ss16 and Ss20's for ballroom, free style, ballet and tap and when crystallizing your Irish Dance costumes larger stones are used from size Ss30 (6mm) up to size ss48 (11mm).
The Swarovski sew on stones are very popular when adding sparkle to dance costumes. The most popular shape is the Swarovski 3230 Peardrop also known as Teardrop. There are many different Swarovski sew on stones to choose from including the new Trilliant, from the Innovations Fall/Winter 2018 catalogue (released September 2017).The Trilliant is a nearly triangular design with curved corners to give it a radical new look compared to the regular Triangle sew on stone 3270. The Emerald Cut, 3252, was launched by SWAROVSKI February 2018. This stone has also proven to be popular amongst our dancing costume designers, it is available in 3 sizes from 14mm to 28mm and several bright colours. The Emerald Cut is a rectangle but with corners cut to give it even more sparkle compared to it counterpart the Retangle 3270 which is limited in colour choice.
Swarovski Sew on stones have to holes which enables you to sew the stones onto your dance costume, it is also possible to glue these sew on stones to your dance costumes, we would recommend that you use the Gem Tac, Ninja Superflex of the Grab 360 glue.
Which colour to choose, the most popular Swarovski colour for dance costumes is the aurora borealis also known as AB. The colours most often associated with the aurora borealis are pink, green, yellow, blue, violet, and occasionally orange and white. Typically, when the crystal AB collides with the stage lights a rainbow of colours sparkle and dazzle the audience and judges too!
When applying Swarovski crystals to a black dance costume a very popular choice is the Jet Hematite best described as a shiny gun metal grey, Swarovski's Silver Night, Black Diamond and Silver Shade are also great choices.
Swarovski launch new colours every six months, their most recent colour launch is the Electric Family, these neon colours in pink, green, orange, blue and red are fabulous and shine under ultra violet lights too.
Crystal Parade do offer a FREE sample service to enable you to match your dance fabric or to help you replace missing crystals, just drop us an email to [email protected] with a list of the colours/shades you would like and we will be delighted to send you the crystals to help you match.

If not I suppose I could use the separate APC plug-in for that one and this plug-in for the other one, but I was trying to avoid plugin bloat, plus the program for the APC one looks rather complex to set up.
Thanks for any advice.
I know it's not what you have, but the APCUPSD plugin supports multiple APC UPSes (each attached to different servers) being monitored. I'm sorry that it appears to be complex to setup — I'd be glad to help you get the new release installed and setup. You'll see that the plugin itself is straightforward — only the external package the plugin relies on that takes some non-normal steps. The nice thing is, the external package usually installs with a perfectly usable configuration right from the beginning so while it has lots of options, most don't have to be understood or tweaked.
Internally, I have revised the new APCUPSD plugin to be more adaptable to other UPS brands. If this other one you have has a definable way (like a program that can be run) to get its status/states I may be able to include it into the plugin.

Barry Bonds: Charged with four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice for telling a federal grand jury he never knowingly used steroids. The substance he's accused of taking, The Clear, was neither illegal nor specifically banned by baseball at the time of his testimony. Trial is scheduled to begin March 21, at which time prosecutors will probably have to concede they don't have shit.
Roger Clemens: Charged with lying to Congress about his PED use. Novitzky turned former Mets clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski into a government informant after staging a surprise raid on his home. Radomski would later give evidence in the Clemens case.
Marion Jones and Trevor Graham: Jones was convicted of perjury for lying to Novitzky about her PED use. The sprinter was sentenced to six months in prison by a judge who scolded her for also lying to The Children and for not teaching them lessons about "how to win and lose within the rules." Graham, Jones's trainer, got a year of home confinement for lying to Novitzky.
Tammy Thomas: Convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice for lying to etc., etc. The cyclist was subjected to detailed testimony about her facial hair. "Look me in the eye," Thomas shouted at jurors when the verdict was announced. "Look me in the eye and tell me you mean what you did. No. Look me in the eye. I've had enough courtroom decorum."
Victor Conte: Received four months in prison and four months under house arrest after pleading guilty to money laundering and distributing steroids. The BALCO founder claims that Novitzky fabricated portions of his initial confession.

Tale Of Two Harbaughs: Baltimore Ravens Vs. San Francisco 49ers
- QuarterbackJoe Flacco is in the process of changing his reputation. After his performance against the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game, Flacco is a legitimate big-game performer. He threw for 240 yards and 3 TDs without an interception. He will face a much better defense against the 49ers, but don't expect Flacco to cower. He will take what the 49ers give him and try to go over the top on occasion.Jim Harbaugh's bold move of replacing Alex Smith with Colin Kaepernick at midseason now looks like a slam dunk. OK, Harbaugh knows more about football than the rest of us. The most impressive aspect to Kaepernick's game may be his unflappability. He overcame a 17-0 road deficit to lead the Niners to the NFC championship over the Falcons while throwing for 233 yards and one touchdown.
- OffenseRay Rice is one of the most versatile running backs in the league. He can run between the tackles, take it outside and also catch passes. Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith are the Ravens primary pass catchers at the wide receiver position, but tight end Dennis Pitta is one of the most underrated performer in the league. He caught 5 passes for 55 yards and one TD against the Patriots.The 49ers are going to try to establish their physical dominance against the Ravens' defense with the power running of Frank Gore. Look for Kaepernick to try to get to the edge with his speed and quickness on the read-option. Vernon Davis and Delanie Walker should find open spots in the secondary. The ability of Michael Crabtree and Randy Moss to make at least two big plays could be the key to the game.
- DefenseThe Ravens were 17th in total defense during the regular season, but they have been much better in the postseason. They blanked Tom Brady and the Patriots in the second half of the AFC championship game. Much of that is due to the return of Ray Lewis. The Ravens have played with more aggressiveness since his return and they have been delivering knockout-type hits on a regular basis. Strong safety Bernard Pollard provides this team with its signature and he can turn any game around with his punishing tackles.The 49ers played sensational defense for much of the season (3rd overall), but that defense struggled out of the gate in the NFC title game as the Falcons built a 17-0 lead. However, the defense played much better in the second half and took control of the game. Look for the speed of linebacker NaVorro Bowman (team-high 149 tackles) to have an impact in this game along with the speed of pass rusher deluxe Aldon Smith (19.5 sacks).
- Special TeamsThe Ravens gave up a pair of special teams touchdowns in the divisional playoff victory over the Denver Broncos, but that was an anomaly as the Broncos had the best overall special teams play in the league this season. Placekicker Justin Tucker made 30-of-33 FG attempts, including 4-of-4 from 50 yards and beyond. Sam Koch averaged 47.1 yards per punt and he put 28 of his kicks inside his opponents' 20.The 49ers may have a big problem if this game comes down to special teams. David Akers has endured a painful season and he has had to endure challenges from Billy Cundiff to keep his job. Akers was 29-of-42 on his regular-season FG attempts. Andy Lee averaged 48.1 yards on his punts and placed 36 of his 67 kicks inside the opponents' 20.
The Ravens are this year's hot team as they have been rolling since the start of the playoffs. Much of that is due to Joe Flacco's error-free play. Colin Kaepernick has risen to the occasion as a big-game quarterback who has risen to the occasion. Since Jim Harbaugh has the slightly better quarterback, we'll give the Niners the edge.

Walking through the residential communities of Jamaica, South Jamaica, Hollis and St. Albans, it doesn't take long to notice the overrun pollution from homes bleeding out into the streets.
According to recent reports, these communities made up of nearly 20 percent of the borough's trash complaints in 2013. Of the 4,628 trash complaints, the Department of Sanitation reported cleaning 289 lots, or 34 percent of the nearly 861 city-managed tidying efforts throughout Queens.
Groups like Cleanup Jamaica Queens Now surfaced early last year to document what they see as injustices throughout their community, putting a call out to their elected leaders for change. The Department of Sanitation, however, recently said in published reports that the problem is more complex than they could have imagined.
"It's not, you call me today and a lot gets cleaned tomorrow," a spokesperson with the DSNY said, explaining that the department has to obtain individual permits for each property before going in to clean up the mess. "Each lot is different. It's a process."
However, as the community now sees new hope with a voice in the Borough President's office - former Jamaica Councilman Leroy Comrie was recently appointed deputy borough president – they can only wait to see if more focus is shifted their way.
While the permit process to remediate contaminated and overrun properties can be such an arduous process, the angry Jamaica residents deserve a new look and action to crack down on the problem.
Now that the litter has been more than adequately documented, the city should consider legislation to increase dumping penalties and fund an emergency cleanup of a portion of the borough that so many feel has been left in the dumps.
Not only would it have an effect in southeast Queens, but neighborhoods across the city that have to deal with run-down abandoned homes and absentee landlords, including all of the problems that come with them, such as rats, disease and lower property values.

NOTICE: Many events listed here have been canceled or postponed due to the Covid-19 emergency. It is best to call ahead or check with organizer's websites to verify the status of any local event.
'Select A Date' to sign up for an orientation session. All members must attend an orientation in order to become a Digital NEST Member. If you are unable to attend any of the scheduled orientations please contact email@example.com to schedule a seperate time for an orientation. Digital NEST (Nurturing Entrepreneurial Skills with Technology) is rooted in the socio-economic struggle of a small California coastal town surrounded by a large agricultural region. Watsonville (pop. 51,881), shares the challenges of many poor and underserved communities across the United States: high rates of poverty and unemployment, a high number of high school dropouts and a low rate of college graduates. Bridging the digital divide Committed to bringing tech to underserved student populations, Digital NEST founder Jacob Martinez has always had an interest in improving the struggling economy in his community of Watsonville, where the working poor far outnumber the prosperous few. Jacob began envisioning ways to break down the barriers keeping local students from the technology they need and deserve, while fulfilling the unmet needs of Watsonville's small businesses and entrepreneurs looking for a capable local workforce. A safe, collaborative space for young people Modeled after successful technology companies such as Google and Facebook, Digital NEST is a hip, cool, and colorful spot that inspires its members to be creative, innovative, and self-sufficient. This technology workforce development center strengthens our community by preparing young people to be technology leaders in Santa Cruz County and beyond. Through training, peer collaboration and professional mentorship, youth are supported in mastering the technological skills they need to pursue higher education and careers in our globally connected world. Its members work with state-of-the-art technology in a safe and learning-focused environment. A scalable vision Digital NEST is working to create sustainable and scalable technology centers in vulnerable communities all over California, creating economic equality for the residents of low income and rural communities, teaching young people the technology skills needed to become competitive and self-sufficient in the digital future. Digital NEST has sparked a nationwide dialogue among educators, policy-makers and the media as a model for conquering the digital divide in underserved communities throughout the U.S. We welcome your inquiries and ideas on growing and sharing the Digital NEST idea with other communities. FAQs Is there an age limit to become a Digital NEST member? Yes, you must at least be a High School student to be accepted as a member of the Digital Nest. If you are no longer a high school member you must be of 24 years of age or younger to register at the Digital Nest. Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?
