Senator in TN is sending letters to water plants in his state requesting they stop putting fluoride in public water. He is against fluoride in water for many reasons but notably, because it is medicating people without their consent. It is always refreshing to see someone take issue with that aspect. The ADA is now telling parents NOT to make baby formula using fluoridated water. Just incredible that we are supposed to blindly trust the whims of government and their regulations.

There's little argument that India has become the world's testbed for both financial inclusion and social enterprise exploration and experimentation. Two studies that came across the NextBillion transom in recent weeks take a step back to explore the quickly germinating networks underlying both, as well as identify the gaps.
The German Development Corporation (GIZ) in India launched a study mapping the social enterprise ecosystem in India. Titled Enablers for Change - A Market Landscape of the Indian Social Enterprise Ecosystem, the report presents a market assessment of the incubators and impact investors in the region, while identifying and defining the sector-specific, geographic and service-related gaps.
The study was generated for GIZ by Ernst & Young Pvt Ltd, (EY) and builds on an earlier GIZ commissioned study by EY called Responsible Finance A Catalyst for Responsible Business.
It notes that there is:
Meanwhile, the New America Foundation this week unveiled the study From Social Banking to Financial Inclusion: Understanding the Potential for Financial Services Innovation in India, the third in a series of reports by the Savings for the Poor Innovation and Knowledge Network (SPINNAKER) and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Researchers sought to understand the diversity of financial and savings institutions serving the poor, and identify what makes financial products accessible for low-income households. Based on a review of 146 savings products and interviews with nearly 30 financial institutions, the report makes advocates the financial sector:
Obviously, for India's leadership role in social entrepreneurship development and financial inclusion to continute to flourish, the constructive criticism offered in these studies should be considered, if not heeded.

Scouting Report
By Charlie Widdoes (Twitter)
Knicks vs. Raptors | Air Canada Centre
When: Friday | 7:00 PM
Where to Watch: MSG
Where to Listen: ESPN 98.7 FM
Team Reports
New York (33-45): After last Sunday's loss in Miami, the Knicks have had four days to nurse injuries and prepare for tonight's crucial matchup. With only four games left to play, every game is a must-win as New York tries to cut into Atlanta's two-game lead for the final playoff spot. Carmelo Anthony's shoulder is the big question mark, having shot 9-for-31 in the two games since injuring it against Brooklyn last week. J.R. Smith is coming off a record setting performance, in which he took 22 three-pointers and made 10.
Toronto (46-32): A young team with some promising pieces entering the season, the Raptors have surpassed all expectations as they prepare for their sixth playoff trip in franchise history -- the first since 2007-08. With a talented backcourt of Kyle Lowry and All Star DeMar DeRozan, a 21-year-old franchise center in Jonas Valanciunas and a deep rotation of role players bolstered by the mid-season Rudy Gay trade, they've put themselves in position to challenge for the Eastern Conference crown with a balanced approach: they rank 10th in both offensive and defensive efficiency. They are tied with Chicago for the 3 seed, but would clinch the tiebreaker with a win tonight and lower their magic number to three.
The Numbers Game
Toronto is one of only four teams with a top-10 ranking in both offensive and defensive rating. The others: L.A. Clippers (2nd, 7th), San Antonio (5th, 4th) and Oklahoma City (7th, 5th).
Matchup to Watch
J.R. Smith vs. DeMar DeRozan
With Anthony affected by an injury to his right (shooting) shoulder, Smith has had to...shoulder the Knicks' scoring load. We've seen Smith be successful as a secondary scorer, but being the primary guy comes with expanded responsibilities in terms of decision making. On the other end, he'll have to defend Toronto's talented wings, including DeRozan, who has improved his player efficiency rating from 14.7 to 18.4 this season.
What to Look For
Anthony compensated for his shooting limitations by playing the role of facilitator, dishing out 11 assists over the past two games. With four days to recover, we'll see if he's regained strength and can become a weapon as a scorer. Between Smith, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Iman Shumpert, the Kicks will need to space the floor and knock own shots if the offense is going to succeed with Melo at less than full strength. On the defensive end, Tyson Chandler and Amar'e Stoudemire will need to work together to keep Valanciunas off the boards. Toronto forward Amir Johnson (sprained ankle) is listed as questionable for tonight.
For more news and notes on the team follow the New York Knicks and Charlie on Twitter.

This Saturday marks the official start of fall, and aside from unpacking our cool weather wardrobes and swiping on a darker shade of lipstick, we are also so excited about the bounty of fall produce and fun seasonal recipes. Salads may be our go-to meal during the warmer summer months, but there is no reason not to make salads with fresh seasonal produce at any time! To help out, we've rounded up five of our favorite salads for fall.
This Crispy Skin Salad with Buttermilk Dressing from Sweet Paul is beautifully eye catching and filled with interesting textures and flavors.
Pumpkin seeds, lentils and eggs allow this salad from What Katie Ate to easily act as a lunch or light dinner when served with bread.
This Roasted Butternut Squash Salad with Warm Cider Vinaigrette is one of our favorites. It's easy to make and a total crowd pleaser.
Cabbage and beets give this Ruby Salad with Crumbled Feta and Spicy Pepitas a deep purple hue. With an interesting mix of flavors, this salad is a perfect side for a fall dinner party.
We are big fans of sweet potatoes and love the idea of tossing them in a salad! Lisa of With Style & Grace has created a delicious and filling Greens, Sprouts & Sweet Potato Salad with an equally tasty dressing.

Urinary Incontinence: Reproductive/Hormonal Risk Factors (RRISK3)
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study is a continuation or follow-up of two previous studies (RRISK and RRISK2) conducted at the Kaiser Division of Research. This study will invite previous study participants, as well as a randomly selected group of Northern California Kaiser Permanente Members, to participate in an interview, mailed survey and lab visit. The purpose of this study is to examine the risk factors for bladder and pelvic problems.
Urinary Incontinence
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
|Official Title:
|Urinary Incontinence: Reproductive/Hormonal Risk Factors III
- Race/Ethnicity [ Time Frame: up to 48 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To investigate the two- to three-fold greater prevalence of stress UI in White women, compared to Black and Asian women which we previously reported we will (a) create and compare risk factor models of UI for each racial/ethnic group (White, Black, Hispanic, Asian); b) determine the extent to which racial differences can be explained by differences in newly measured exposures and genetic polymorphisms in addition to previously identified risk factors. To increase study power, we will enroll an additional 450 women (150 Black, 150 Asian and 150 Hispanic) into the RRRISK cohort.
- Hormones [ Time Frame: up to 48 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To further characterize the association between hormones and UI and to determine if phytoestrogens are a risk factor for UI we will (a) use pharmacy records, supplemented by self-report, to ascertain the type, dose, duration and delivery for estrogens and for selective estrogen reuptake inhibitors (SERMs) and test their association with UI; (b) estimate phytoestrogen exposure from self-reported intake of key foods and botanicals and test the association with UI using multivariate analysis.
- Gene Polymorphisms [ Time Frame: up to 48 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To test the association between estrogen receptor gene polymorphisms and UI we will use banked serum samples from the RRISK cohort to assay for polymorphisms of the two estrogen receptor genes (ESR1 and ESR2) and determine their associations with urinary incontinence.
- New UI and Progressive UI [ Time Frame: up to 48 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]We will analyze approximately 20,000 person-years of observational data using multiple regression techniques to (a) determine rates of new UI and changes in UI frequency/severity (including remission) and (b) identify risk factors for new UI and change in UI severity.
- Pre-Diabetes [ Time Frame: up to 48 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To investigate the association between pre-diabetes and increased risk of UI recently reported by members of our group we will (a) examine the cross-sectional association between pre-diabetes and UI, controlling for multiple other variables including body mass, waist circumference, inflammatory markers, and coronary heart disease; (b) conduct in-person interviews, measure physical parameters, and obtain blood tests on the approximately 400 women in the current study cohort with pre-diabetes. This additional prospective data on pre-diabetic women will allow us to characterize the natural history of the association between pre-diabetes and progression or new onset of UI.
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Sera will be banked for this cohort.
|Study Start Date:
|October 2008
|Study Completion Date:
|December 2012
|Primary Completion Date:
|September 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Using a cohort established during two previous studies (RRISK, CN-97Svand-01-H and RRISK2 CN-02Svand-07-H), this study will follow a well characterized cohort of middle-aged and older women who have been members of Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Plan (KPMCP) of Northern California continuously since age 18. The cohort is composed of over 2000 women for whom we have data from abstracted medical records, in-person interview, voiding diaries, physical assessments, laboratory data, and banked sera. Our cohort is unique in including a substantial number of women from the 4 major ethnic/race groups (white non-Hispanic, Black, Asian and Hispanic.) For this study, we will re-interview as many study participants from RRISK and RRISK2 as are willing. This study will also expand to further increase its diversity by adding a total of 450 Black, Asian and Hispanic women to the cohort. The overall goal of the study is to advance our understanding of mechanisms of Urinary Incontinence and facilitate the translational development of novel approaches to treatment and prevention.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|40 Years to 69 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
A previously identified cohort of approximately 2000 women who are members of Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) health plan, having seen a Provider for bladder/incontinence related issues and have previously participated in the RRISK and RRISK2 studies. We will also randomly identify an additional cohort of women who are current members KPNC which report race/ethnicity as Asian, Hispanic or Black/African American (to total an additional 450 women across all groups.)
Inclusion Criteria:
- previously participated in the RRISK or RRISK2 studies at the kaiser Division of Research.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Not a part of the previous RRISK or RRISK2 cohorts.

This week we present part two of our series on using internal networking to advance your career within your law firm. Last week we discussed networking to make partner; this week's focus is on how to get better assignments.
As we mentioned last week, in order to succeed and be truly satisfied with your Biglaw career, you will need to do more than to simply be a great attorney. There are thousands of talented and hardworking attorneys out there who leave the world of Biglaw jaded, unhappy, and unfulfilled. Yes, Biglaw may not be the be-all and end-all for everyone, but there are many attorneys who play the Biglaw game, and play it well. By utilizing networking skills and tactics while working at a Biglaw firm, a young associate can increase his or her chances of succeeding AND being satisfied.
So what can you do to get better assignments?
(1) Do your research – If you want to work with a specific client, do additional research and keep tabs on that client. This is also important if you want to work for a practice group with one or two major clients. Check the daily news for stories about the client, whether or not it is directly related to the work your firm is doing for that client.
Another good source: the staff and fellow associates who might be doing work for that client. Don't expect to get any confidential information from them, but you can try and gauge how the work is as well as what the needs and expectations of the client are. If you come across a noteworthy article about the client and feel comfortable, forward that article to the partner working for that client. This will demonstrate your genuine interest in the client and might provide an opportunity for future work that you can handle. But be careful not to spam the partner, and don't send links to blogs that don't provide substantive information on the client. Nothing infuriates partners more than useless information, especially if they think you are not working on something that benefits the firm and are wasting time sending pointless emails.
(2) Follow partners you want to work for without stalking – If there is a practice group or partner you want to work for, approach the situation as you would a potential date. Find out their likes and dislikes, let them know you are interested, and be different from your counterparts at the office. Read any articles authored by the partner, attend a seminar or CLE training session hosted by the partner, stay updated on recent cases or deals the partner has been involved with. Then engage the partner. Like a job interview, you will need talking points and an ability to carry a conversation about those work matters.
Don't be afraid to ask the partner if he or she needs assistance on a case or a deal, but be sure your schedule allows for it and that you have developed a sufficient rapport with the partner. If the partner barely knows what group you are already in, let alone your name, odds are he or she is not going to trust you with one of his or her assignments.
(3) Be liked – Obviously you want to be liked by the partners, but don't forget about the support staff and fellow associates in the practice group. While seeking work from a particular partner or practice group, remember that you may be treading on another associate's turf. If work is hard to come by or if you work in an intense work environment, an associate of the practice group you are interested in may not appreciate some new competition. Be conscious and respectful of such concerns and try to develop a relationship with that associate. You might find out that extra work is available or that an associate is trying to get out of that practice group. Plus, you need friends in that practice group to tell you what a partner is looking for, the preferred format of assignments, and other valuable insights.
(4) Make your intentions known – Don't expect assignments or a switch to a new practice group to happen automatically. Even if you are well-liked and your firm is willing to accommodate you, the right people at your firm need to know what you want. Be sure to convey your desire to switch practice groups, your desire to work on a particular client's case, or your interest in a certain assignment. Several associates mistakenly think that their work will speak for itself and they will be rewarded for it. While it is true that firms try to reward its associates for good work, firms cannot give the rewards you want if the right people don't know what rewards you are looking for.
This may be a touchy subject, especially if you are afraid of offending a partner or senior associate in your current practice group. Additionally, you might be at a firm where there is a power struggle among partners, so you might have to do some politicking as part of your approach. Ask other associates at the firm and see if they were able to switch practice groups or get better assignments, and find out how they did it. In the end, know that there are many factors that are beyond your control, and getting better work assignments or switching practice groups at your current firm may truly be impossible.

The Jet OLE DB version 4.0 provider supports the SELECT @@Identity query that allows you to retrieve the value of the auto-increment field generated on your connection. Auto-increment values used on other connections to your database do not affect the results of this specialized query. This feature works with Jet 4.0 databases but not with older formats.
The following code demonstrates using the SELECT @@Identity to retrieve the value of the newly inserted auto-increment field. The code snippet also includes code to create the table for the query.
Thanks to this newly added functionality, you can see the newly added auto-increment values in your client-side ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) recordsets in ADO 2.1 and later. When you submit the new row to the Jet provider by calling Update or UpdateBatch (depending on your choice of LockType), the ADO cursor engine generates an INSERT INTO query to create the new row in the table. If the recordset contains an auto-increment field, ADO will also generate a SELECT @@Identity query to retrieve the value generated for that auto-increment field. The following code demonstrates this feature:
You can create a new Jet 4.0 database using Microsoft Access 2000 or using the ADOX library that is included with MDAC 2.1. To use this library in your Visual Basic project, create a reference to Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.1 for DDL and Security. You can then use code like the following to create a new Jet 4.0 database:
To determine the format of your Microsoft Access database, check the dynamic "Jet OLEDB:Engine Type" property in the Connection object's Properties collection. The property will return a value of 5 for Jet 4.x databases. The following code snippet demonstrates using the property:

About ChileView a map of Chile wineries (CHEE-lay)Long and thin, Chile has a lot of land north to south. The wine region here is a series of districts based near Santiago. The vineyards are protected by the Pacific on the west and the Andes mountains on the east. This could help explain why the climate changes more from east to west than north to south – also why the country has remained phylloxera free. Quite a few wineries in Chile were founded by large French wine companies. Seeing the potential of the country, vineyards were bought and planted by these French folks and the results tell of a smart investment. Some of these wineries include: Los Vascos, Casa Lapostolle and Cousino Macul. And while the inspiration may have been French, but the wines here are quite Chilean.

Notable FactsThe main regions of Chile include Maipo (pronounced MY-poh), known for reds like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere; Casablanca Valley, a region producing delicious Sauvignon Blanc, as well as other whites & some reds; Colchaugua, an inland district creating amazing red wines from Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, particularly in the Apalta sub-region; and Rapel Valley, settled right under Maipo and producing the same red varietals. A couple of smaller regions to watch include Limari and Elqui, two valleys further north, producing some delicious cool-climate Chardonnay and Bio Bio, an area further south, which is also focused on cool-climate varieties. Chilean wines are growing in exports and more consumers are enjoying the delicious values coming from the country. Red wines of the region, though they cannot be generalized, make the whole gamut of wine quality – quaffable to collectible. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Carmenere are the main players, though Syrah is also making a splash. Some of the best reds are blends of the above varieties. As for whites, Sauvignon Blanc is typically crisp, herbal and racy, while Chardonnay is richer in style with full-bodied texture and tropical fruit flavors.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Arpaio: Obama's birth record "undoubtedly fraudulent"
Sheriff Joe Arpaio, along with lead investigator Mike Zullo to his right, shared their findings in a 90-minute media event
Reporters: Craig Smith & Kevin Keen
PHOENIX (KGUN9-TV) - It's still a fake. That's what Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said about President Barack Obama's birth certificate, supplied by the White House.
The Republican sheriff told a reporters Tuesday: "We wanted to clear the President of the United States. That was my mission, but it hasn't happened that way."
Arpaio promised major revelations in his investigation into the president's birth certificate. He outlined those revelations--but for as how major they are, we will let you decide.
Was President Barack Obama born in Hawaii in 1960? Or, somewhere else--somewhere that would disqualify him to be president--a foreign country, like his father's birthplace in Kenya?
That's the birther theory.
Even politicians eager to attack the president are not embracing birther-ism.
But Sheriff Joe Arpaio still wants to check it out. Tuesday, his investigators said what they found in Hawaii shows shady shenanigans around the president's electronic birth certificate.
The sheriff told reporters: "We are not accusing the president of any crime. We are strictly investigating a possible government forged document and that's the way we're still going with this. We're talking about a document."
Sheriff's cold case investigator Mike Zullo said someone committed a crime by forging what's been presented as the president's birth certificate, used to prove he was born in the U.S. That's critical because the law says no president can be foreign born.
Zullo's declaring a forgery based on what he describes as inconsistencies in what's printed on the document, as well as qualities in the electronic version that are consistent with tampering--not changes you'd expect from simple scanning. Read the 30-page report Zullo referenced and the sheriff's office published online.
Zullo said, "This isn't us chasing down the president. Everybody wants to make it that. This document is fictitious."
Zullo and Arpaio were careful to say they're not accusing the president of a crime, but they insist someone found it in their interest to alter his birth certificate for some reason and they want to see a version they can have confidence in.
Arpaio said: "Show us the microfilm. I said it awhile back. Show us the microfilm and we'll all go back home and forget this."
The sheriff and his investigator raised another issue that goes far beyond the birth certificate. They found until 1982 Hawaii law would allow an adult resident to simply say a child was born in Hawaii and that was good enough to declare that child a native-born American, as long as the parent had lived in Hawaii for a year.
Arpaio said that makes any Hawaii birth certificate before 1982 worthless to prove citizenship.
Read more about the findings Arpaio and his team presented.
Now he wants a congressional investigation into the birth certificate and that Hawaii law and maybe a special prosecutor, too.
KGUN9 News reached out to local Republican and Democratic party leaders after the sheriff's announcement. The Pima County Republican Party did not respond to the interview request.
Jeff Rogers, head of the Pima County Democratic Party, said about the sheriff, "He's nuts. He's just absolutely nuts."
Rogers said he didn't need to review Arpaio findings to know they're wrong and a waste of time and tax dollars.
"The rest of the nation is past this except for a few nutty conspiracy theorists," Rogers told KGUN9. "Arpaio's getting to look nuttier by the moment. Maybe he's just cynical."
Rogers added the timing of Apraio's announcement is "suspicious" because the sheriff goes to court Thursday in class action lawsuit against his department over possible racial profiling.
Arpaio said the investigation and findings are not a stunt and not politically motivated.

New trends in interface windows programs, the current behavior of the closure and to minimize incorrect. I think it would be correct that: the active icon in the system tray minimize - minimization as usual, at the close, minimize to tray.
Now, with the minimize, minimize to tray correctly. Single click - restores the window. When closing the cross - single click on the icon in the system tray - no result. It should work the same way.
I think it is more correct and is expected emergence window when you double-click at any parameters.
Sorry for bad english. Sincerely, a novice developer from Russia.
René Berber
I understand, and I agree that the current way it works is not 'standard'.
But there are several points to take into consideration:
I have thought of fixing it, but I haven't done it. My latest opinion is I should get rid of the "minimize on close", I prefer just having minimize to tray, and let close as "close the application" -- that's the way I like it, and its very easy to implement.
Of course this goes against your description, and the original design (which took into consideration that the application is meant to run for a long time, similar to a service, a.k.a. daemon). Hence I haven't made a decision.
René Berber
The behavior has been changed.
The next release (
4.80 4.76) will restore the application from the tray with one-click, no difference if it was minimized or closed.
René Berber

Bass fishing tips are only good if you have a plan. You really must approach each fishing trip in the same frame of mind. "I'm here to catch bass, not just to take my lures for a boating trip". The real thought process starts at home, or even better at work. There's no better way to get through a dull work day than thinking about fishing!
Step one is finding the most likely areas that hold good numbers of bass. What is the water color and temperature? What time of year is it and what are the current fishing weather conditions? These factors help figure out the depth and speed at which you should fish. It's simple to figure out how to catch bass if you do your homework ahead of time.
Fishing lakes can present certain challenges but they are easy to read. Do you know where bass spend most of their time? Will they be biting good at noon, or should you try
night fishing
Here are a few bass fishing tips from Bill Dance.
Overlooked Waters
Night Fishing
Additional Spinnerbaits
Three Key Words
A great way to up your catches in shallow water is to see the bass. In the spring, you can have some of the best catches in water under 10 feet deep. Spotting those tell-tell circles in the sand will find the spawning bass.
The best way to see the bass is with a good pair of polarized sun glasses. After loosing 4 pairs of good sunglasses over the side I started to get a little upset. I saw a fishing show with Fishgilz floating polarized glasses as the showcase item. I bought a pair and couldn't be happier.
They cut the glare off the water and even the dashboard of the truck. You can drive right into the sun and it doesn't hurt your eyes. Even on hazy days, everything looks MUCH sharper. They are 100% UV lenses to protect your eyes. I can see bass on the bottom in 12 feet of water when the surface is calm. I would recommend them to anyone (and they are guaranteed!).
Step two focuses on the gear. A good assortment of bass fishing lures that give you the confidence to be patient, and a knowledge of fishing knots that won't break, are a must. You need to spend your money wisely when buying your gear. The best bass fishing tips won't help if you're fishing with junk! You get what you pay for.
Then step three is understanding basic bass fishing techniques. Are you going to power fish or do you think you should slow down today? Where do you start on a rocky point? How about a large flat weed bed? Are the bass deep or shallow? Match their mood with the right depth and speed. Don't try to swat flies with a hammer.
So if the best bass fishing tip is this: Find 'em, feel 'em out, then and only then do you fish 'em. Bass get to spend all their time at the lake. Lucky buggers! He is a creature of nature, so that makes him a creature of habit. He goes from place to place for a reason. He has no real memory but will react the way he does on instinct. Change is his enemy, so he seeks out the most stable conditions he can find in his home range. You just need to find out if the bass got up on the right side of the bed. Your side!
Fishing and boats go together like peas and carrots. Do you have an old wooden boat that needs fixing up? Not sure how to do it. Don't let it rot away! Nothing feels or rides like a wooden boat.
Do It Yourself Wooden Boat Repairs
will get help you get her back ship shape. Remember, preserve them, they just don't make them like that anymore!
RV and trailer camping
is a great way to maximize your time on the water. The best way to figure out a lake is to spend lots of time on it. The hassle of towing the boat back and forth does sure take the fun out of fishing sometimes. That can also make things complicated. Get yourself squared away ahead of time so you'll get to enjoy every minute!

West Chester and Liberty trustee candidates talk zoning, Lakota levy at forum
LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, Ohio – Public safety, the impact of a high-profile school levy and zoning regulations were the "talk of the townships" Wednesday evening at an open forum for trustee candidates in Liberty and West Chester townships.
It was a rare opportunity for dozens of area residents to get face-time with and pose questions to eight people vying for trustee positions in two of the most rapidly growing townships in the Tri-State—at a time when their potential to influence the greater region is at an all-time high.
"West Chester and Liberty are the two most progressive communities of development on the Interstate 75 growth corridor between Cincinnati and Dayton. You have a downtown that continues to emerge to grow with West Chester and one that is starting to develop and grow in Liberty," said Joe Hinson, president of the West Chester-Liberty Chamber Alliance. "Those two townships together form the epicenter of activity that's bringing the two major markets of Cincinnati and Dayton together."
Four trustee candidates in each township are fighting for one of their community's three open spots. Current West Chester Township trustee Lee Wong and long-time incumbent Catherine Stoker are both gunning for another four-year term. They're competing against two new faces for the coveted spots: Matthew King and Mark Welch.
Liberty Township trustee candidates include incumbents Tom Farrell and Christine Matacic, in addition to first-time candidates Robert Coogan and Jeff Newman.
Each candidate delivered a two-minute opening statement at the chamber-sponsored event, before responding to a series of questions submitted on notecards from the audience. Candidates were asked to identify the greatest needs in their respective townships, to discuss the current condition of police and fire services in their area and to share their positions about current zoning regulations in their communities.
Several trustee candidates expressed a need for better transparency within their local governments, specifically allowing a fiscal officer to sit in on executive session.
"That's something that needs to be remedied right away," said King, who added that West Chester is one of the only townships that prohibits the fiscal officer's presence.
Others discussed the need for infrastructure development and greater staffing as the communities continue to grow.
"We have been fortunate to keep our staffing level to a minimal size, but as we grow, as we receive more and more businesses....that's the first and foremost thing that I see that we're going to have to be taking a look at," said Matacic, running for another term as a Liberty Township trustee.
The current Liberty Township trustee cited the new Steiner development off Interstate 75 as an example of the growing needs that will occur as the businesses take off.
The eight candidates had varying positions on zoning issues in their respective townships.
"While [zoning regulations] should be sensitive to the business environment and the economy, [they] must also support the needs of the residents who have the need for a safe wholesome environment in which to raise our families. They should be enforced in a far and equitable manner across the door," said Stokes, who has spent 20 years as a West Chester Township trustee.
Some argued that current zoning regulations are a hindrance to small businesses in the area.
"Zoning restrictions need to lighten up," said Newman, who's running for a Liberty Township position. "I've spoken with so many businesses over the last few months and I feel terribly bad for these people."
"We need to get out there and make sure that businesses can do businesses in a friendly manner in West Chester," said Welch, running for a West Chester Township trustee position. "Zoning needs to be kinder and friendlier in the business department. It needs to be streamlined....There's a ton of room in zoning ordinances for interpretation"
But others say keeping those township zoning regulations as they are is key.
"We can't open it up. We have to have high-end businesses that will pay us to come here, not businesses that we pay to come here," said Farrell. "That's the reason why zoning has to stay. It's the only way we can balance our budget in the long-term."
It's a hot and divisive issue that even attracted some people, like West Chester Township resident Barry Riddell, to the forum Wednesday night.
"I think it's time for a change," he said. "We have a zoning development that's been overburdening people like myself."
When trustee candidates were asked about the condition of public safety services in the two townships, the conversation turned to the impact that using the resources available from the Butler County Sheriff Office has had on Liberty Township.
Some candidates referenced the success of emergency response during the Butler County Greyhound bus crash in September.
The most popular question submitted was about the Lakota Local School District's upcoming tax levy , a 5.5 mill combination levy that's up before voters again this November, after failing three times before.
Trustees were asked to share their position on the levy and also discuss the type of relationship that the second-largest school district in the Tri-State should have with the two townships.
Some candidates gave firm answers about their stance on the school tax issue.
"I think that putting [a combination levy] on the ballot sort of restricts those of us who are voting. This is an all or nothing sort of thing and I think it's going to end up being a problem," said King, running for a West Chester Township trustee position.
"I saw the safety concerns in our schools," said Newman, who used to be a school resource officer. "If we don't vote for this levy to increase safety in our schools, I don't want to hear anybody complain about it when we have an incident in our schools."
Other candidates spoke generally about the trustees' responsibility to the district and did not discuss how they would personally vote.
"As a trustee, our responsibility to the school district is to create an environment where business can flourish and then contribute more revenue for our schools so it doesn't always have to come off the back of our residents," said Stoker. "We do not tell the board of education how to run their schools and the board of education does not tell the trustees how to run their township."
The candidates were divided on many issues brought up by voters Wednesday, but all candidates agreed on one thing—they did not support the incorporation of their townships.
Wednesday's forum was the second of its kind in a week. The first one introduced Lakota school board candidates to the public last Wednesday.
West Chester and Liberty Township residents have just about three more weeks to make their decisions before election day, which is Nov. 5.

The original INTENT of the DW may have been aimed at LMP1 BUT the ACO set the parameters to which the DW would be allowed to race. Things like having to uncover the rear tyres instead of leaving them covered and adding the, frankly, huge mirrors were all directed by the ACO to increase the drag of the DW and slow it down. The mirrors alone added something in the area of 8% extra drag.
The ACO also set a target lap time (as it does for ALL Le Mans classes) of 3:45. The DW achieved a 3:42 in qualifying and a 3:45.7 in the race itself.

Andy Blake, a.k.a. Thanfiction, is a fanwriter and fanartist best known for his involvement in a number of high-profile fandom controversies. He first joined Lord of the Rings fandom in the early 2000s as Victoria Bitter, and later went on to use a number of other pseuds.
For much more, see Victoria Bitter Wank.
Thanfiction's best-known fanfic is the Harry Potter epic Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness, which has spawned an extensive shared universe called the DAYDverse.
In 2013, Thanfiction started participating in and writing meta on tumblr for the Supernatural fandom, in which Thanfiction ships Dean/Castiel and has organized fan meet-ups.
In February 2015, Aja Romano published an article on Blake that was extremely controversial. The article and the events that followed provoked a great deal of criticism from those interviewed for the article, and within fandom at large.
- Main article: The Strange Lives of Andrew Blake
BioThanfiction's FanFiction.Net bio, written in 2008 and updated in 2013:
Hi, I'm Thanfiction, short for stranger-than-fiction, also known as Andrew, a 30-year-old guy who has found himself in up to his pointed hat in the most out-of-control one-shot in the history of the wizarding world. If you want to know more about me, you can just ask, really. I'm a pretty open kinda bloke. I'm brash, opinionated, and a bit sharp-tongued at times, so consider yourself warned. I'm also an artist, doing a great deal of work in the HP fandom in a wide variety of styles and media, including many illustrations for my own fic. You can find all of my artwork [at DeviantArt], but please heed the tags when it comes to what is appropriate for what age of eyes. Ignore these, I'm not responsible for paying for your therapist. [...]
UPDATE JULY 2, 2013: As you may have noticed, I've recently gotten into SPN fandom, specifically Destiel. Yes, I'm still doing the Daydverse, I'm still finishing AP. Life - including a nasty little triple homicide [2], three major moves, four job changes, and starting school - got in the way for a while, but I refuse to give up. A certain hunter and his angel may have wedged a place in my muse and heart, but the DA will always come first. [3]

Victoria Bitter
See Victoria Bitter Wank for descriptions of this fan's activities, including sockpuppets, fraud, and general mayhem and manipulation. And worse.
In December 2009, the Harry Potter fanfic writer and fanartist Andrew Blake was identified as Victoria Bitter [17] Prior to Victoria Bitter's entry into LOTR fandom, they wrote Due South and Star Trek Voyager fan fiction and made fan art under the name of Voyagerbabe.
Victoria Bitter initially contributed to The Lord of the Rings RPF fandom with well-received fic. Victoria Bitter (with then-partner OrangeBlossom) created numerous sockpuppets. Victoria Bitter claimed to be channeling Elijah Wood's spirit, and that JRR Tolkien's writing was based on historical fact, and was receiving Meriadoc Brandybuck's memories in a dream.
Victoria Bitter and OrangeBlossom defrauded the BitofEarth.net convention and their attendees by taking money for products and services they never meant to deliver, ruining the con in the process. Turimel, another member of BitofEarth.net, wrote a book about her experiences with Victoria Bitter. It was called When the Fan Hits the Shit. [18]
Victoria Bitter later faked suicide repeatedly.

Total Number of Participants: 900
Total Impact: 900+
Ealing Tuition Service, Ealing, London
On Thursday 11th October 2012, pupils and staff at the Ealing Tuition Service in London took part in various Sewa Day activities. Pupils in Key Stage 4 worked with the Ealing Council Park Rangers' Nature Conservation programme helping to clear a public footpath in the local area. The path had become overgrown with scrub and low branches, which has encouraged crime and antisocial behaviour. Key Stage 3 pupils took part in activities in and around the school, helping to clear the area of litter. Pupils also helped plant bulbs and flowering shrubs to improve the overall appearance of the outside area. A further group of pupils took part in the Vision Aid Overseas programme – recycling old spectacles, helping to transform eye care services in developing countries.
Total Number of Participants: 16 pupils and 17 staff.
Judges said "We liked the fact the school had collaborated with Ealing Council to clear a local park with the help of their Key Stage 4 students and in-school environmental projects with Key Stage 3 students despite the inclement British weather. Well done for the perseverance."
Our Own English High School, Dubai
Our Own English High School, Dubai, undertook a mass Sewa Day tree planting project conducted on Tuesday 9th of October 2012, in support of the One Million Trees Initiative, launched by HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The event was jointly organized by the Dubai Police Academy and the Varkey Gems Foundation with a total of 200 saplings planted at the GEMS OOEHS Al Warqaa campus. "This project was a labour of love for all those who were involved in it. We are all very proud of the new

Gulf Coast students meet before football game to remember classmate who died
COLLIER COUNTY - As a cheerleader, Diana Zulian should have been chanting with her squad at Friday night's home Gulf Coast High School football game.
Instead a somber squad of girls, their hair tied back in purple ribbons, released balloons of the same color in Diana's memory before the game. Onlookers applauded, turning their heads to follow the balloons' paths into a dimming sky.
The 16-year-old junior died this week from what her father said is a suspected case of viral encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain.
Friends remembered Diana for her perpetual smile and sweet nature, her love of teen pop star Justin Bieber and her work at Vanderbilt Presbyterian Church, where she was a youth group member and vacation Bible school leader.
"It's tough whenever we lose any child," said Superintendent Kamela Patton, who observed a moment of silence for Diana with the hundreds gathered Friday night. "But what happens is you see how supportive the kids are during a tragedy. They quickly rally and it's a big thing."
Junior Haley Lemire, 16, saw that in her classmates this week, when dozens showed up in Diana's favorite color, following news of her death.
"It was nice to see so many kids wearing purple," she said. "And it was weird. I remember seeing her around and to think that she's not here is crazy. I never thought that would happen to one of us."
Even Mary Brunner, a teacher from the opposing Palmetto Ridge High School, wore purple in support.
"Word just kept spreading," said Brunner, whose children attend Gulf Coast.
"She was really outgoing," said Gulf Coast freshman Alexis Roberts said. "She was the sweetest person you'd ever know. There was no one who didn't like her."
Alexis, 14, wore a purple blouse and painted her nails the same color. Even her braces happened to match for the occasion.
Alexis' sister cheered with Diana on the squad, and Alexis remembered seeing Diana often for slumber parties.
"When (the cheerleaders) found out they were all in the auditorium and started bawling," Alexis said.
A memorial service is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Sunday at Vanderbilt Presbyterian Church, 1225 Piper Blvd., North Naples. At 8 p.m. Sunday, the church's youth group will hold a candlelight remembrance.
Rachelle Thompson, 45, and her three daughters expect to attend. Her 16-year-old daughter Taylor was friends with Diana and said her school binder was covered with pictures of Justin Bieber.
"She was always happy, she was always smiling," said Brittany Thompson, 13.
Having met Diana as a vacation Bible school leader this summer, Rachelle Thompson said she felt compelled to attend the game Friday.
"Our heart really goes out to the family," she said.

text: DSpace Community: http://dspace.cityu.edu.hk:80/handle/2031/6071 2015-09-10T06:46:55Z Anomalous east Asian winter monsoon in relation to symbolic Eurasian blocking patterns http://dspace.cityu.edu.hk:80/handle/2031/6528 Title: Anomalous east Asian winter monsoon in relation to symbolic Eurasian blocking patterns Authors: Cheung, Ho Nam ( 張皓嵐) Abstract: This study attempts to examine the anomalous state of the East Asian Winter Monsoon (EAWM) in relation to spatial and temporal features of atmospheric blocking over Eurasia at the upstream of the climatological Siberian high region. Atmospheric blocking is identified by geopotential height gradients (zonal indices) over the extratropics. Surface air temperature is used to assess the impact of blocking on the EAWM region. Generally, there are two spatially independent blocking patterns of an omega shape with the ridge centered over the Ural-Siberia region and the European continent respectively. The impact is significant if the downstream cyclonic vortex of the blocking system forms a dynamic contact with the Siberian high, which is more confined to the former case. On the whole, the impact can be viewed from the perspective of a single event and a whole season. Establishment of a blocking high over Ural-Siberia involves interaction between the Siberian high and an upstream cyclone. Three temporal features of the blocking high are investigated: duration, intensity and extension. Firstly, the tropospheric warm-core structure is maintained by which the kinetic energy of the thermal ridge is converted to the potential energy of the blocking ridge. The warm ridge extending poleward induces cold advection to promote sustained development of the Siberian high. Secondly, the amplification of the blocking ridge is dependent on the amount of incoming anticyclonic vorticity advection. The advection can be determined by the zonal pressure gradient between the upstream cyclone and the Siberian high, which tightens when the cyclone is located right to the west of the Siberian high. However, this dynamic factor is not deterministic for the thermodynamic evolution of the Siberian high. Thirdly, the extension may be related to the size of pre-existing cold anomalies over western Siberia. Intense cold air masses tend to tighten the pressure gradient and to amplify the upper-tropospheric trough aloft the upstream cyclone. The thermodynamic feedback from Siberia perhaps supports the blocking high to stay for longer time. Therefore, a long-lasting cold period may take place as a consequence of a long-lasting blocking event. The blocking-EAWM relationship is close (weak) when outstanding blocking frequency is over Ural-Siberia (Europe). These upstream blocking activities may be regarded as a response to a combined signal of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Weakened (strengthened) meridional flow in the positive (negative) phase of the AO is unfavorable (favorable) for blocking high formations. As the AO shows a close relationship with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the teleconnection between the AO and the Eurasian blocking activity may exist in the form of an eastward propagating wave-train signal generated over the North Atlantic Ocean. Be that as it may, the transmission of a signal across East Asia may be disturbed by the external effect of the ENSO, which probably suppresses (enhances) the sinking motion near Siberia in its positive (negative) phase. In short, the blocking-EAWM linkage is stronger (weaker) when the AO and ENSO are in phase (out of phase). If both the AO and ENSO attain their positive (negative) phase, the blocking frequency is distinctly low (high) over Ural-Siberia and uniform warming (cooling) would be observed in East Asia. Rather, if they are out of phase, the blocking signal would not be clear over Ural-Siberia and the monsoonal flow in northern (southern) East Asia would be stronger in negative AO (negative ENSO).

The instrument is using a high power blue LED with peak intensity at 450 nm as the light source to sample a path about 30 m to 50 m above the street level. Two setups with total absorption paths of 550 m and 3820 m are used in this study. The measurements are used to give better insights in surface air pollution conditions in Hong Kong. This thesis presents a detailed description of the instrument setup and the automated data retrieval. The LP-DOAS measurements were performed in Kowloon Tong and Mong Kok district in Hong Kong. The measurement results are compared to the concentration from a nearby monitoring station, operated by the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department. Hourly averages of coinciding measurements are in reasonable agreement (R=0.73 on average). Additionally, NO2 coinciding measurements using the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) are compared to the LP-DOAS data. Monthly averaged LP-DOAS and OMI measurements correlate well (R=0.77). The comparison of mean weekly cycle however, displays different characteristics. The daily and weekly cycles of NO2 measured by the LP-DOAS are used to indentify different sources of NO2 in Hong Kong.

For studying the rainfall distribution over land during landfall, TCs are divided into inner (In) zone with radial distances from TCs centers are less than 100 km and outer (Out) zone with radial distances from TC centers are between100 - 300 km. In examining the variation of rainfall distribution over land when TCs are at different perpendicular distances from the coastline, TCs are divided into left and right quadrant with radius of 300 km. For all situations, the enhancement of rainfall over land is in general found in the right quadrant of TCs. Vertical wind shear is one of the contributors towards the asymmetric rainfall distributions over land. The relationship between the individual vertical wind shear and the rainfall distribution is not well related. However, a composite of the vertical wind shears shows that it can explain the enhancement of rainfall in RF. Most of the TCs are found to experience northeasterly and southeasterly vertical wind shear during landfall and it is related to the environmental flow. In addition, the vertical wind shear shows no significant change in direction when TCs are at 6 hours before, during and 6 hours after landfall but a sharp change is found between the time of 12 hours to 6 hours before landfall. This variation of vertical wind shear with time may be related to the interaction between land and the TC. Land interacts with TC through topography. Convergence of vertically integrated horizontal water vapor flux is also a factor that can enhance the rainfall in RF because the convergence of water vapor dominates in RF, resulting in enhanced condensation and finally the stronger precipitation over there. Since topography is hypothesized to be the contributor to the asymmetric rainfall distributions over land, the Weather Research and Forecasting model is used to simulate its effect. Four groups of TCs are simulated. In each group, two TCs are simulated one with and another without topography. A larger extent of rainfall enhancement is found in RF for TCs with topography. Moreover, the variation of vertical wind shear in the simulations with topography is consistent with that in the observational studies. Finally, there is a positive relationship between terrain height and the extent of rainfall enhancement in RF. Notes: CityU Call Number: QC925.5.C62 H665 2010; xiii, 87 leaves : ill.

The Big E Diareee: Echenique Blogs About Venezuelan Tryouts
Creighton center Gregory Echenique is trying out for the Venezuelan National Team. While he's away, we'll have periodic updates on GoCreighton.com in this segment we're calling "The Big E Diareee", thanks to a Facebook contest suggestion from Tyler Anderson.
Below is his first entry.
July 20
So far we had six hard practices. Our head coach is very intense. Even though he is on crutches now because he injured his left foot, he manages to make his way around the court and yell at everyone if we are not doing what he wants. For some this is new to have someone who coaches this way, at least I could say I have seen that before. Also I m pretty much the translator for the team. Every time coach says something I say it in Spanish so everyone can understand, which is also helping me to be more vocal because now I have to always speak so everyone understands. Also there is a guy who doesn't speak any Spanish (his name is Dwight Lewis, he went to USC last year), so when something is said in Spanish I have to translate it in English.
Practices are very competitive and physical. To score sometimes is hard because not that many fouls are being called at the moment, but coach does make a lot of emphasis on the defense. He feels that's the only way we can have a chance to win games once Argentina comes.
I feel like I have been doing well and as practices have gone by I feel even better because I adjust to what coach demands from us.
We have been going 2-a-days. The first one starts at 9 am, the second at 5 pm, so the days are long. We have meetings at times in between practices with the general manager to make sure we have what we need, or the teams psychologist to make sure we are mentally ready.
Tomorrow we have practices #7 and #8 and at the end of the month we will be playing against Japan.

Mets are giving tix away to plan holders
According to a team spokesman, the Mets have been calling fans who purchased a ticket-plan earlier this season to offer free tickets to one of the team's remaining home games as a way to say, 'Thank you for your support.'
The fans I have talked with were all given field-level tickets, and were very happy with the offer.
It's a great gesture… it is.
The thing is, call it a 'Thank You,' or a 'reward,' etc., but, in either case, it's sad to see the Mets this desperate to get people in to the building, in which they're basically giving away tickets… since once there, even if for free, the fan will likely spend money on food and drinks, and so on.
I mean, I can't believe this is how the organization planned it when breaking ground for Citi Field in late 2006.

Astragalus Extract
For more than 2000 years, Chinese herbalists have valued Astragalus Extract for its adaptogenic properties, as well as for its ability to tonify the body's "vital force" known as the Qi. More recently, Astragalus has been found to support healthy immune function through numerous mechanisms. Non-clinical studies using Astragalus Extract have demonstrated its ability to stimulate the production of and increase the activity of specialized white blood cells, such as T-Cells and Natural Killer Cells. Astragalus has also been studied for its role in the support of healthy liver and vascular function. Herbalists recommend the use of Astragalus Extract both seasonally and year-round to support a healthy immune system.*
