Bone loss is common in patients with breast cancer. Bone modifying agents (BMAs), such as bisphosphonates and denosumab, have been shown to reverse or stabilize bone loss and may be useful in the primary and metastatic settings. The purpose of this review is to provide clear evidence-based strategies for the management of bone loss and its symptoms in breast cancer. A systematic review of clinical trials and meta-analyses published between 1996 and 2012 was conducted of MEDLINE and EMBASE. Reference lists were hand-searched for additional publications. Recommendations were developed based on the best available evidence. Zoledronate, pamidronate, clodronate, and denosumab are recommended for metastatic breast cancer patients; however, no one agent can be recommended over another. Zoledronate or any oral bisphosphonate and denosumab should be considered in primary breast cancer patients who are postmenopausal on aromatase inhibitor therapy and have a high risk of fracture and/or a low bone mineral density and in premenopausal primary breast cancer patients who become amenorrheic after therapy. No one agent can be recommended over another. BMAs are not currently recommended as adjuvant therapy in primary breast cancer for the purpose of improving survival, although a major Early Breast Cancer Cooperative Trialists' Group meta-analysis is underway which may impact future practice. Adverse events can be managed with appropriate supportive care.
Optimization of bone health is an important aspect of care to consider for patients with a breast cancer diagnosis at any stage. In patients with primary breast cancer, treatment associated bone loss can occur either with adjuvant endocrine therapy (e.g., aromatase inhibitors), or in patients with a reduction of ovarian function due to surgery or chemotherapy. Bone loss in this setting is due to enhanced bone turnover secondary to estrogen decline [
Bone health can also be compromised in the metastatic breast cancer setting as a result of malignant cells stimulating bone resorption via osteoclasts; this breakdown of bone can stimulate further tumour growth, leading to an increased risk of skeletal related events such as pain, vertebral and long bone fracture (with associated morbidity), spinal cord compression, and hypercalcemia [
To date, efforts to optimize bone health have focused on bisphosphonates and biological agents, such as denosumab. Although the effectiveness of bone modifying agents (BMAs) in improving bone health has been established, uncertainties still remain (e.g., ideal time to initiate therapy, duration of therapy, modification of therapy,
The review process for this guideline was developed, based on: (1) The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) overview of clinical guideline development for stakeholders, the public, and the National Health Service (NHS, England) [
A systematic search for relevant literature related to breast cancer and bone health was conducted of MEDLINE (1996 to 2012 July) and EMBASE (1996 to 2012 July). The search included the terms "breast neoplasm" and "zoledronic acid" or "zoledronate" or "clodronate" or "clodronic acid" or "alendronate" or "alendronic acid" or "pamidronate" or "pamidronic acid" or "ibandronate" or "ibandronic acid" or "denosumab". The search was limited to randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses. Reference lists of key clinical trials were also hand-searched for additional literature. Guidelines on this topic were identified from a search of the National Guidelines Clearinghouse database, as well as individual guideline developers' websites.
Articles were selected for inclusion in the review of the evidence if they reported outcomes related to survival, bone mineral density or skeletal related events, or adverse events. Indirect evidence with other oncologic-patient populations treated with BMAs was also deemed relevant if insufficient primary evidence was available. Articles were excluded from the review of the evidence if they were qualitative or descriptive studies, opinion papers, letters, or editorials. Due to a lack of translation services, non-English language articles were excluded from the review of the evidence.
A total of 57 published articles were deemed relevant to inform the role of BMAs in breast cancer. Twenty-nine publications focused on the use of BMAs in the prevention of treatment-related bone loss in patients with primary breast cancer (
The literature search identified seven clinical practice guidelines that provided recommendations on the use of bisphosphonates in the setting of breast cancer; these guidelines were developed by: American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) [

Bone loss can occur in breast cancer due to treatment, especially estrogen suppressing therapy and certain chemotherapies, or due to the disease itself [
The effectiveness of bisphosphonates as bone modifying agents has been well established. Trials employing the use of zoledronate, risedronate, alendronate, ibandronate, clodronate, and pamidronate in patients receiving aromatase inhibitors or chemotherapy have demonstrated that these agents increase bone mineral density and decrease bone turnover and the risk of fractures. Zoledronate (4 mg IV, every six months) significantly increased bone mineral density at the hip and spine (+3.9% and +4.0%, respectively,
Among post-menopausal women receiving aromatase inhibitors, a variety of bisphosphonates have been tested and show similar improvements in bone loss. Zoledronate (4 mg IV, every six months) was shown to maintain or significantly increase (+2.66%
The ratio of receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG) to receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) plays a role in osteoclastogenesis: When RANKL levels are high, bone loss will occur. However, by altering the ratio in favor of OPG by inhibiting RANKL, bone loss can be prevented [
Recommended agents for the prevention and management of bone loss include zoledronate (IV 4 mg over no less than 15 min every 6–12 months) and denosumab (60 mg SC every 6 months). Any oral bisphosphonate is acceptable as well, including clodronate (1600 mg per day), risedronate (35 mg per day), or alendronate (70 mg per day). The route of administration should be left to the discretion of the treating physician, taking into account compliance with treatment, cost of treatment, and patient preference.
The timing of therapy (upfront
Bone loss can occur in metastatic breast cancer as a result of malignant cells stimulating bone resorption, which in turn can lead to further tumour growth [
Bone modifying agents are recommended for patients with breast cancer with evidence of bone metastases. The presence of non-bone metastases is not a clear indication for the use of bone modifying agents; however bone modifying agents can be used when osteopenia (
The use of bone modifying agents as an adjuvant to standard therapy has also been investigated. The Austrian Breast and Colorectal Cancer Study Group Trial 12 (ABCSG-12) looked at the effect of adding zoledronate (4 mg IV, every six months) to endocrine therapy in early stage premenopausal patients with ovarian suppression (
Adverse events associated with bisphosphonate use (oral or intravenous) and denosumab are typically mild and manageable, but include arthralgia, fever, thrombosis, bone pain, fatigue/tiredness, nausea, and gastrointestinal symptoms [
Recent observations have raised the possibility of atypical fractures occurring in patients on long-term BMAs [
Baseline bone mineral density (BMD) testing and fracture risk assessment is recommended for patients with primary breast cancer for whom therapy with agents that suppress ovarian function is given, including premenopausal women with premature ovarian failure or ovarian suppression with luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analogue (LHRHA) and postmenopausal women on aromatase inhibitors (AIs). BMD testing in other postmenopausal women with primary breast cancer is recommended according to the Canadian Osteoporosis screening guidelines using a BMD cut off of T-score <−2.5 [
BMAs should be considered for the following patients with primary breast cancer: Premenopausal OR postmenopausal at high risk (
In patients with primary breast cancer undergoing therapy with a bone modifying agent, BMD can be checked every two years. However, in patients with osteopenia, BMD should be checked annually.
In patients with metastatic breast cancer, bone modifying agents (BMAs) are recommended upon confirmation of bone metastases; the presence of non-bone metastases is not an indication for the use of bone modifying agents.
For patients with breast cancer with bone metastases, no recommendations can be made favoring one agent over another. Acceptable agents and dosing regimens for bone metastases include: zoledronate (intravenous 4 mg over no less than 15 min, monthly), pamidronate (intravenous 90 mg over no less than 2 h, monthly), clodronate (oral 1600 mg, daily) and denosumab (subcutaneous SC 120 mg, monthly). There are advantages and limitations to the different agents and routes of administration. The agent and route of administration should be left to the discretion of the treating physician, taking into account compliance with treatment, cost of treatment, and patient preference. BMAs should be continued in patients with breast cancer with bone metastases until there is evidence of a substantial decline in performance status. In the case of progressive disease, a change in systemic anti-cancer treatment is warranted with continuation of BMAs.
In patients with breast cancer with bone metastases who have experienced a skeletal-related event (SRE) or progression in bone metastases, switching from one bisphosphonate to another is currently not recommended, since no double-blind data are available to support this strategy. However, some oncologists are switching from a bisphosphonate to denosumab at progression, based on proven better efficacy [
Outside of a clinical trial, bone modifying agents are not recommended at this time for patients with primary breast cancer, as a standard adjuvant therapy to improve recurrence or survival rates. The Early Breast Cancer Cooperative Trialists' Group meta-analysis of adjuvant bisphosphonate trials is ongoing and may impact future practice.
Patients undergoing therapy with BMAs should be aware that the most common adverse events include nausea, fatigue, arthralgia, back pain, pyrexia, bone pain, vomiting, anemia, diarrhea, dyspnea, extremity pain, and constipation. Patients should also be monitored for changes in renal function (

Logged In: YES user_id=31435 Confirmed on Pythons 2.1.3, 2.2.3, 2.3.2, and current CVS. More generally, split() doesn't appear to split on any empty (0-length) match. For example, >>> pat = re.compile(r'\b') >>> pat.split('(a b)') ['(a b)'] >>> pat.findall('(a b)') # but the pattern matches 4 places ['', '', '', ''] >>> That's probably a design constraint, but isn't documented. For example, if you split "abc" by the pattern x*, what do you expect? The pattern matches (with length 0) at 4 places, but I bet most people would be surprised to get ['', 'a', 'b', 'c', ''] back instead of (as they do get) ['abc']

Logged In: YES user_id=555 Hi, I was going to file this bug just now myself, as this seems like a really useful feature. For example, I've several times wanted to split on '^' or '^(?=S)' (to split up a data file into paragraphs that start with an initial S). Instead I have to do something like '\n(?=S)', which is rather more hideous. To answer tim_one's challenge, yes, I *do* expect splitting by 'x*' to break a string into letters, now that I've thought about it. To not do so is a bizarre and surprising behavior, IMO. (Patient: Doctor, when I split on this nonsense pattern I get nonsense! Doctor: Then don't do that.) The fix should be near this line in _sre.c, I think. if (state.start == state.ptr) { I could work on a patch if you'll take it... Mike

Well, I think we can conclude that it's expected by *them*. :-) I still find it surprising, and it somewhat lessens the utility of re.split for my use cases. (I think re.finditer may also suffer from the same problem, but I don't recall.) If you look at the comments attached to the patch for this bug, it looks like akuchling and rhettinger more or less saw this as being a bug worth fixing, though there were questions about exactly what the correct fix should be. http://bugs.python.org/issue988761 One comment about the your doc fix: You highlight a fairly useless zero-character match (e.g., "x*") to demonstrate the behavior, which might leave the user scratching his head. (I think this case was originally mentioned as a corner case, not one that would be useful.) It'd be nice to highlight a more useful case like '^(?=S)' or perhaps a little more generically something like '^(?=HEADER)' or '^(?=BEGIN)' which is a usage that tripped me up in the first place. Thanks for working on this!

I'd feel better about this bug being 'wont fix'ed if I had a sense that several people considered the patch and thought that it sucked. At the moment, it seems more like it just fell off of the end without ever being seriously contemplated. :-(

So you stumbled upon my gallery, yes? Well, you can see I do enjoy paws and tickling, and my persona is a 'shadow', a species I created based off on a Sableye, a Gengar, your typical Final Fantasy black mage and the Shadow heartless from the Kingdom Hearts series.
Want to draw me or any of my characters? Please ask first. I cannot stress this enough.
Hello there, how are you doing?
My name's Jeferson, but you may call me JB, since that's how everybody else does. Here I'm usually a purple fun-loving magical creature who's got an interest for feathers, feet/paws and tickling.
I'm also cursed with cuteness, meaning most of my drawings end up cute even when I don't mean them too, but hey, I'm not complaining~
If you'd like to know me more you may add me on Yahoo or Skype (ask me on a note). While I'm usually busy, from time to time I may find a window on my schedule to chat or get to know you better.
There's one thing I want to let you know though: want to draw a character of mine? Fan art, or even a gift? Please, ask first. I prefer to receive private gifts than public ones, but I also like to know what I'm going to get.

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 2, No. 26. Tuesday, 29 Jan 1991.
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 91 22:04:26 EST
Subject: Revision in Rehearsal
In reviewing the SHAKSPER member biographies, I am again struck by
the number of actors, playwrights, and directors in our midst. My question
is directed, I suppose, primarily to those who have participated in
rehearsals onstage, but anecdotes need not be first-hand to be helpful.
I have been looking at the variant texts of early Shakespearean plays
(e.g. 2H6, RJ, and 2H4) with an eye to possible evidence of revision.
Comments on the creative process written by twentieth-century playwrights
are not exactly analogous, but I have found them helpful. (For example,
I believe it is Tom Stoppard who draws attention to the considerable
effort it takes to get jokes just right on stage. Last-minute revision
often centres, for him, on improving the impact of such jokes. I think
some of the variants in the "bad quartos" look suspiciously like someone
tinkering with humour in that way... but never mind that right now.)
I'd like to hear from anyone (and everyone!) who has been involved in
performances, whether of Shakespearean plays or modern works, and has seen
revision at the rehearsal stage. I am curious as to the sorts of things
in Shakespeare, for example, which seem innocuous on the page but patently
wrong onstage. What kinds of alterations do directors or playwrights make
in the script? What are the usual motivations for revision, excision, or
interpolation? Does audience response contribute to the process of
And for the performance critics, what are the things most often overlooked
by "study-bound" scholars? What fundamental misapprehensions are easiest
to absorb from English Literature classes? And for those of us interested
in pedagogy, how can such misapprehensions be avoided in the classroom?
I hope that my questions generate some interesting discussion; please feel
free to distort a question if it gives you an opportunity to make an
interesting point!

OK, so Kayla Carlyle doesn't have a wardrobe malfunction like Nicki Minaj did at the VMAs, but otherwise this music video — produced by WaterTower Theatre to promote their current production of the musical Bonnie & Clyde (which I quite enjoyed) — has all the trappings of a fun time. Just watching Depression-era gangsters lip-synch to Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki to "Bang Bang" is hilarious (especially starting around two minutes in). Enjoy!

Which local made Star mag's worst dressed list?
The cover of the April 9 issue of the tabloid Star laments the fate of Khloe Kardashian and Dallas Maverick Lamar Odom, so a couple of "locals" made it to the front cover, but skip that and flip to a few pages in to the worst of the week section.
WATCH: Madonna's "Give Me All Your Luvin'"
The eagerly awaited new single from Madonna's new album M.D.N.A. is now official. She teased us with the album art a few days ago and now her first single and video. She dropped her single "Give Me All Your Luvin'" today. A smart move as usual to tease her halftime performed at Sunday's Super Bowl, especially since she centered the video around cheerleader back up dancers and very assisting football players along with M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj along for the ride. She's looking good with a sort of brushed out Adele-ish do. The song is both cute and cool thanks to its beat. She seems to be vying for her more pop-friendly days of True Blue and Like a Virgin than her more exploratory, complex stuff like Ray of Light and Confessions on a Dancefloor, so she may be coming full circle to her early days. Either way, she'll likely score with "Luvin.'"
But enough about my thoughts on it. Here's your new Madonna.
2011 Year in Review: Music
RICH LOPEZ | Staff Writer
You could say 2011 was the year of the superstar. Already-superstars Gaga, Beyonce and Britney dropped new albums confirming their status, while Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry became ones following the continued successes of 2010 discs. Kanye and Jay-Z teamed up to watch the throne and beardos Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver followed up their debuts with dreamy, though sometimes confusing releases.
Ultimately, it was Adele who ruled, leaving all others in the dust with an exercise in modern torch songs and declarative hits — so much so, she and 2011 are now practically synonymous.
But not exclusively. A few others made an impression on smaller fronts — and big ones, too. Each of the following resonated either through a chill groove or a strong beat, and ultimately made 2011 easy on the ears.
1. Washed Out, Within and Without — What Ernest Greene does with this chillwave release is somewhere between a dream and astral projection. Each track floats in your ears as wonderful bubbles of music that are airy and delicate, but their impression is far more lasting. This isn't just an album, but a luxury bath for the ears and soul, which made for practically infinite repeat plays. Key tracks: "Amor Fati," "Eyes Be Closed."
2. Caveman, CoCo Beware — In just two years, these Brooklyn indie rockers debuted their album with confidence to spare. Giving alt-rock sensibilities to Simon and Garfunkel folkisms, Caveman fits in the Grizzly Bear–Band of Horses vein and yet they still create a sound that will grow into their own. Those drums are to die for as is singer Matthew Iwanusa smooth tenor. Caveman's release is more like a gift. Key tracks: "Decide," "December 28th."
3. Death Cab for Cutie, Keys and Codes Remix EP — By nature, most remixes are agony resulting in a soulless version of the original. That didn't happen here in DCFC's redux on their already- impressive Codes and Keys from earlier in the year. At times, the EP is even better than the original, with charged up versions of seven songs. Yeasayer, The 2 Bears and Cut Copy are among the remixers who don't take away from DCFC's spirit, but spike it huge with major beats. Key tracks: "Underneath the Sycamore," "Some Boys."
4. Adele, 21 — This is very likely the album of the year for the entire world — and deservedly so. Adele channeled all the emotion of being done wrong by her man into a solid display of music. At times, she gets a little too sappy, but the strength of 21 isn't just in Adele's soulful voice, it's also in her heart that is both pained and strengthened here. Plus, 21 pretty much just says "fuck you" to the ex the way we all wish we could. Key tracks: "Rolling in the Deep," "Don't You Remember."
5. Adam Tyler, Shattered Ice — In his debut, Tyler broke through pop/dance music apathy to create a refreshing album of solid tunes. He recalls glorious pop of two and three decades ago but updates it with sexy lyrics and dynamic hooks. Tyler wrote all 11 songs and more than half of those are ready for the radio. Hopefully, someone will take notice, because Ice is too spectacular to be overlooked. Key tracks: "Pull the Trigger," "I Won't Let You Go."
6. Real Estate, Days — Less is more with this complete package by the indie folk rockers from New Jersey. They smoothed out from their 2009 debut and bring a minimalist, but hardly simple approach to Days that shows off the band's talents modestly, but considerably effectively with lush cascades of music. Days is a facile listen that may sound like background music, but you won't forget it. Key tracks: "It's Real," "Younger than Yesterday."
7. Beyonce, 4 — The diva missed out on big radio hits with this album, but she channeled her inner '80s-and-'90s adult contemporaries and created a helluva fascinating album. Sidestepping the obvious, B dabbled in sophistication over aggression and came up with retro vibes without losing her style. She totally didn't give up her skills trying for a big hit with "Rule the World (Girls)" but missed. That's forgivable considering the brilliance of the rest. Key tracks: "Rather Die Young," "I Care."
8. CSS, La Liberacion — These Brazilian party rockers matured beautifully in their third album. For having a reputation of delivering queer-centric dance rock, earlier releases were a tad unfocused. CSS kept the same amped-up energy, but their songwriting and musicianship has grown into smart and sublime. From irreverence to slightly political, CSS looks like they have finally found their place. Key tracks: "City Grrrl," "I Love You."
9. Me'Shell Ndegéocello, Weather — Ndegéocello continues to bring the cool, and does so with the ultra-slick Weather. Her neo-soul chops have not been lost over the course of her almost two-decade career. Instead, she adds a layer of maturity with each new album and this year practically cultivated it into hip, soulful perfection. And that bass playing is so sexy, it's borderline (but gloriously) obscene. Key tracks: "Chance," "Dirty World."
10. Emmeline, Someone to Be — Coming in under the wire, Dallas singer Emmeline recently dropped off her disc personally to the Dallas Voice asking for a listen. Good thing she did, as she lies somewhere between Sarah MacLachlan and Regina Spektor. With earnest keyboards and charming vocals, she churned out one of the more delightful packages of tunes with a sugary edge that sticks just right and is wonderfully addictive. Key tracks: "Someone to Be," "Dallas."
2011's top LGBT releases
Queer music was in full bloom over the last 12 months, with a wide range of LGBT artists — from veterans to newbies — strongly delivering great music. Here are some of the highlights that stuck out for us.
R.E.M, Collapse Into Now. Soon after this March release, the band announced they were breaking up after 30 years — with the appropriate greatest hits release in November.
Deborah Vial, Stages and Stones. The former Dallas gal showed off her chops from Hawaii in her soulful new album.
K.D. Lang and the Siss Boom Bang, Sing it Loud. Lang crooned, but also rocked gently with her new band.
Ariel Aparicio, Aerials. OutMusic Award winner Aparicio hit a strong note with his alt-rock album from August, fusing it with Latin flair.
Garrin Benfield, The Wave Organ Song. This scruffy folk-country artist relaxed into his fifth disc with a languid and poetic song cycle.
Girl in a Coma, Exits and All the Rest (pictured). The San Antonio rock trio made waves in 2011, landing on several year-end lists.
Brandon Hilton, Nocturnal. Hilton worked the web to his advantage to get his album on people's radar and it worked both ways.
The Sounds, Something to Die For. The relentless alt-pop from these Swedes was one of the best music addictions of the year. And bi singer Maja Ivarsson sold it perfectly.

2011 Year in Review: Concerts
The ladies ran the world this year — or at least the concert stage, whether dives or arenas.
1. Bruno Mars and Janelle Monae (Verizon Theatre). These two crashed the venue with the year's most amazing live performances. Monae, in all her spastic glory, ran across the stage and into the audience, proving why she is the next Prince. And with her futuristic-themed album Archandroid, her band was loud and live minus any apparent electronic help. Mars did the same but recalled old-school showmanship, channeling Marvin Gaye, James Brown and Smokey Robinson as he and his own band filled the place with raucous horns, slamming percussion and Mars' charisma.
2. Nicki Minaj (American Airlines, pictured). Britney sputtered before her concert hit its stride halfway through, but Minaj brought it from the get-go. With military precision, she and her troupe marched and danced while the audience roared, spanking the American Airlines Center as if she were the headliner, making everyone in the crowd her bitch. And all were on board. Her ovation with Spears was proof that Minaj's star has arrived.
3. Jackie Hall (Lakewood Bar & Grill). A surprise at the May edition of Twist LGBT, stepped in with local band One Night Stand to end the night with a bang. Even as the crowd dwindled, Hall went full bore, working up those left into a frenzy with powerful covers. This lady sings the blues and rock and pop, but turns them out like no other.
4. Scissor Sisters (American Airlines Center). There is no way to steal a show from Lady Gaga, but the Sisters didn't need to, giving a workout of a show. Ridiculously pumped Jake Shears burned a million calories with his high-energy antics (and that ass-reveal, a great bonus). Ana Matronic held her own as Shears' equal with funk and sass. True fans were breathless.
5. Brandi Carlile (Granada Theatre). Without much fanfare, Carlile and her legions of fans in the mid-sized Granada were like one entity fused together. Her fans gave her space to sing softly, to go unplugged and to simply love her. She gave it right back with both grit and tenderness that were triggering all the ladies' pheromones.

REVIEW: Britney Spears and Nicki Minaj at the American Airlines Center on Tuesday
I came to an epiphany on Tuesday night at Britney Spears' Femme Fatale show at the AAC. She may not be the most artistic or profound artist out there, but she does serve a purpose. Much in the same way Transformers movies serve a purpose at the theater. You can't expect a deeper meaning behind them. Spears' music isn't trying to change the world; it's pop music that has fun and flirts and dances its way through the ears and body. If anything, and without knowing it, Spears might actually encourage people to live in the moment.
The cohesion of her show may have been applied with a Band-Aid as her costume and set changes were the femme fatale in various disguises, but her and her cadre of dancers churned out the energy like DJs at a gay bar in full swing. Nary a break was to be found in the high energy set list that thumped its way into the adulating fans as they roared with each song. The true fans knew all the words to even her non-hits from Fatale, while the rest fanatically pumped their fists and danced to the beat.
Each costume and set was threaded with a film narrative of a man tracking the "sexy assassin" down but to try to tell a story here didn't add much to any theme or tone.
Gone are the strong line dances as she's reduced her moves to patty-cake hand movements, cheap stripper-esque poses and a whole lot of hair whipping, but instead, this is who Britney Spears is and even if it lacked a certain panache, it still reduced fans to tears and screams. Unfortunately, lip-synching rumors were evident as her vocal tracks were crystal clear from the beginning with "Hold It Against Me" to almost the end. I could say I heard a breathier, realistic tone to her singing in the encore "Toxic" and it wasn't bad.
Britney Spears & Nicki Minaj at AAC
Pop to the core
If you don't get pop overload by the end of tomorrow evening, than you are a superstar. Although Gaga may already claim the top concert event of the year for most people, Britney Spears is likely a close second. Well, we are thinking gay boy audiences of course. But with the added support of Jessie and the Toy Boys and Nicki Minaj, well, that's just above and beyond. DJ duo Nervo gets the night going which is icing on the cake.
DEETS: Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj, Jessie & the Toy Boys, Nervo. American Airlines Center, 2500 Victory Ave. 7 p.m. $29–$350. Ticketmaster.com.

Slicey the Pig is an abomination to animalkind. Has the designer no decency? No respect for Mother Nature and her infinite miracles? Slicey is little more than a flagrant slap in the snout to swine across the globe. I'll say it one time and one time only: it's completely irrational – nay, unnatural – for a pig to have moose knuckle.

I'm not much for summer. It's just 120 days of humidity, excruciating heat and bikini related soul-flagellation. But this year I have something to look forward to (other than True Blood). It's the Amazing Bug Zapper. It uses a battery-powered electrified mesh to destroy bugs in midair. Now I'm off to find out whether or not it works on squirrels.

Summer Gun, Blasting Away
Assassinate your thirst with the Beer Blaster – the only way to literally shotgun a beer into your face, which is probably only slightly more fun that dipping your vagina into an ant mound. Continuing on the theme of classy fucking summer parties, I thought I'd throw this out there.

Armed and Drowsy
I thought this was an under-the-bed freezer and I was like, "Yes, easy access to my Klondike Bars at last." But it's actually an under-the-bed gun locker with a 105 gun capacity. I can think of at least five scenarios which require 105 guns in the bedroom. Weirdly enough they all end with you getting your penis shot off.

While this album i consider mediocre i still really enjoy listening to it. It reminds me especially of Cannibal Corpse who i really enjoy myself. San Diego's Cattle Decapitation has pulled off a good album with this work and i can't wait to check out the next one. I actually like blast beat drumming, works best on this. you wouldn't want say Jazz drumming or latin percussion in a goregrind album would you? No didn't think so.
The guitarist is pretty talented to play at the speeds they play at. And must have a good memory, on this album the songs go through at least 10-20 different riffs. Changing every 10-30 seconds in each 3 minute song. Also the solos in a few of their songs get your attention, especially if it blurs out because it can be somewhat generic.
I'll admit like others the album can get generic but give it a few good listens and it's actually a pretty good goregrind album. The guitarist and vocalist get the most credit for the greatness of this album though. While those fast speeds are going on in drum and guitar land the vocalist lets out some of the most br00tal vokills i've heard. Also he sounds like two vocalists going at once in some parts. No vocals effects are used on this album. But i'm not sure if he tracks 2 vocals or what, oh well. Overall good album.
Notable songs: Testicular manslaughter, Everyone deserves to die, i eat your skin, to serve man, pedeadstrians

UN Winter School on Sustainable Consumption and Production concludes at AIT
Twenty-nine participants hailing from 17 countries participated in the Second "UN Winter School on Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) in Asia and the Pacific," which concluded at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) on 29 December 2015.
The second batch of young professionals who came to AIT under the SWITCH-Asia Regional Policy Support Component programme included researchers, teachers, engineers, consultants, managers, officers and students. The Winter School lasted from 18-29 January 2016, and it was the second in the series. The first Winter School was held from 7-20 December 2014.
Dr. Jonathan Shaw, Executive Director, AIT Extension described the program as "tremendously exciting," adding that the networks forged among the participants will hold them in good stead in the future.
Prof. C Visvanathan, who was leading the program for AIT, mentioned the competitive nature of the program adding that participants were selected from over 350 applicants. Further, every resource person came from a different country which added to the flavor of this intensive program, he said. Addressing the participants, Prof. Visvanathan said: "You started as trainees, and you have now graduated into trainers."
For two weeks, participants interact with distinguished experts, taking classes, participating in interactive scenario-based exercises and simulations, besides building a strong network among themselves. The program focused on trends and challenges of development; resource efficiency; sustainable and unsustainable resource use and livelihoods development at the policy level; and emerging risks of climate change, water scarcity, and biodiversity loss, among other topics.
Successful participants were felicitated by Dr. Jonathan Shaw and Prof. C. Visvanathan of AIT; and Ms. Janet Salem, Programme Officer, Resource Efficiency and SCP, United Nations Regional Office for Asia and Pacific (UNEP ROAP).
The program was conducted jointly by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Switch Asia, AIT, Chulalongkorn University, United Nations University- Institute for Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS), and Prince of Songklha University.

All of the websites are bringing up an alert from AVAST. I've put a screenshot in this post. Probably a false positive but thought I'd post in case other customers were getting this error and may be deterred from purchasing items.
Good spot didn't see that one. I scrolled down the first page of all marketplaces and it didn't come up. Apologies for double post.
Same problem
Locking the thread to keep the discussion in the original. It looks like Avast has fixed whatever was causing the false warning.

He got the best players he could all things considered. This team has been a joke, we didn't have much money to work with so we couldn't really over pay for anyone. MacT was handed a train wreck and did what he could.
He got rid of Horcoff and his awful contract, and replaced him with someone younger, cheaper and does what Horcoff did but is imo a better player. He scored the best free agent defensemen who became our new captain, sure he isn't a #1 dman but he is easily top 4 and is a good guy to have around the team. He picked up Joensuu for almost nothing, grabbed a few ahl players (two of which made the team from day one). We traded Paajarvi for Perron which is a amazing upgrade. His biggest failure was Lolbarbera, but I dont think anyone expected him to be this bad.
The team started awful due to starting the year with our top LW playing center, our top two centers injured, and a goalie that was getting used to new pads and having a very rough time. Couple that with the team learning a new system and Yak being nowhere near as good as last year.
Could he have done better? Possibly if he was a more experienced GM he may know a few tricks or two to convince a guy but he didn't really make any wrong decisions.
A GM cant just come in and say, "I want 5 ferrarris and i am going to give you 10 Ford Fiestas for them!" and magically make it work.
Yup. This.
Hard to say now but it's very possible that his worst move was firing Krueger to bring in Eakins.
Krueger had them fighting a lot more competitively and had some certain tactical elements down. That said, his neutral zone, face off, and possession tactics were BEYOND bad.
Now Eakins has his fair share of strengths where Krueger was weaker, but has totally butchered areas which WERE strengths. Moral of the story? Maybe that an NHL rookie coach required more than a quarter or half season behind the bench before everything clicks.
So, to my thinking, it probably would have been better to merely stay the course with Krueger and hire a strong systems coach to back him up once one became available (Laviolette?) and liked the fit. Or even hire Eakins as his associate.
But that's neither here nor there. Point is, stay the ****ing course for at least a year. It's impossible to know what you have and what you need when you constantly change it.

"I started to notice the difference about halfway through the year, that I could start to do stuff that I couldn't before," Olynyk said. "I wasn't getting pushed around as much, more athletic, stronger, you could just see it building and building."
The player who has emerged is a guard in a centre's body. While his defence is hardly perfect, and he isn't the greatest rebounder, Olynyk can burn opponents in myriad ways. He has the best per-minute statistical production of any player in Division I, which comes from his laser-precise shooting touch: he is on pace to have the highest true shooting percentage of any Division I player in more than a decade. Olynyk's always moving, with or without the ball. His feel for the game, his instincts, so long imbued, are remarkable. When he is on the court, Gonzaga's game flows through him.
Most impressive, for a young man who loved to play from the perimeter his whole life, Olynyk has so quickly adapted to the post, back to the hoop. "Unusually polished post skills for a college player," observed nbadraft.net, who described his game as "textbook." Draftexpress.com called him "one of the most fluid and co-ordinated big men" in college and said he had "amazing" agility and dexterity for his size.
"He had to fight his way, prove that he could play – and then he proved that he could play," Ken said. Asked if he is surprised at how high Kelly has leaped, Ken is quick with an answer: "No." He paused a couple of seconds. "Not at all. When he's comfortable – and he's comfortable right now on the court – it allows him to play without fear of making mistakes."
There had been flashes of what was coming. In September, 2011, playing an Olympics qualifier against Argentina, whose roster was stacked with professionals, Canada was crushed but Olynyk scored 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. It felt like a turning point. But a couple months later, he was in a red shirt.
Now, Olynyk's biggest moment is at hand, a Canadian in the middle of the mayhem of March Madness. Gonzaga stands at No.1, nearly unanimously, but critics charge the team hasn't really played tough competition. If Olynyk plays well and drives Gonzaga deep – and he has a history of delivering his best in big games – his potential as an NBA lottery pick grows ever-stronger. Whether he declares for the draft, or returns for a senior year, is a decision for April. There's basketball to play, and Olynyk will play it in the singular style he has hewed, much like his sartorial tastes.
"Everyone's trying to fit in. It's not that I'm trying to stand out. I'm trying to be myself," he said of his clothing. "I'm not trying to imitate anyone else, I'm not trying to be part of a social norm or anything. I wear bright colours, I wear stuff that doesn't match, because I like that kind of stuff. Everyone wears jeans and white shirts. If you're comfortable and have confidence with whatever you want, that'll get you far."Report Typo/Error

We have seen, how our cookies looks in our last article Cookies Part 1. In this article, we will talk about their properties,limitations and technical part.
Properties and Limitations
Cookies are associated with website and not single pages.
Cookie is stored in our system as Text File.
They are stored in plain text format i.e. no encryption.
Their size on disk is limited to 4096 bytes. so only identifiers and ids are stored, big chunks of data are avoided.
Browsers puts a limitation on the number of cookies stored. In case of more than the quota, old cookies are discarded.
Nowadays, It is mandatory for websites to tell the user whether they will allow cookies to be stored so It depends on the user to allow or reject the cookie
Even we can change our browser settings to allow or reject cookies.
Go to your chrome settings->privacy->content settings
Here, you can set your settings, if you want to see your cookies, click on 'All cookies and site data'.
We will move to technical part of cookies.
We have two objects, HttpResponse and HttpRequest in our application life cycle which handles the use of cookies. For writing information to a cookie, we would require HttpRespone object. This object contains a collection of cookies where we just have to add our cookie.
First of all, we will try to create a cookie and store some information.
Write a Cookie
As always, we require necessary classes to begin with and for that we require a Namespace.Here, we have System.Web, which will expose necessary classes.
Now, We will use HttpCookie class to create our cookie
HttpCookie ShoppingCart = new HttpCookie("ShoppingCart"); ShoppingCart.Value = ItemTextBox.Text; ShoppingCart.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddHours(1); Response.Cookies.Add(ShoppingCart);
Earlier, we talked about HttpResponse but here we are using Response object. why? Both are same, HttpResponse is available to us in the form Response property of our Page so we are directly using Response object.
Though we have other ways also to create cookies but this is the descriptive way to understand each step. As Response.Cookies is a collection, we can add more than one cookie to the collection by creating multiple cookies in similar fashion.
Read a Cookie
To read a cookie, we have HttpRequest object and this is also available in the form of Request property of our page. Lets use it and read the cookie. We just have to remember the name of our cookie and dig it out from the cookies collection of Request object.
string shoppingcart=Request.Cookies["ShoppingCart"].Value;
OfCourse, Check for Null Value of shoppingcart before using it in your application else you might receive a beautiful error message.
We have completed technical part of cookies and will move to some more advance features.
Cookie Age
We can easily define the age of a cookie as we have two options available.
Persistent cookies: If you have observed that once you logged in your email account and your browser accepts cookies then you don't need to log in again till the time cookies are cleared. This is possible with our permanent cookies, which are stored in the client machine until they are cleared or expired. We have already created one persistent cookie in our above example. It can be done by setting expiration time.
ShoppingCart.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddHours(1);
Non-persistent Cookies: These are called temporary Cookies and they exists till the time user closes their browser as they are stored in browser's memory.
The only difference between them is persistent cookies should have expiration defined.
We will see more advance concepts and also look at questions floating around on cookies in our next article.Wait for that!!

Add the National Football League to the roster of Quick Hit Football.
Creators of the free-to-play online PC game have reached a multi-year deal with the NFL to use the logos and uniforms for all 32 teams.
"This agreement represents an exceptional opportunity to partner with the National Football League in the exploding digital and social gaming space," said Quick Hit founder and CEO Jeffrey Anderson in a statement.
The partnership does not include the rights to use NFL players, which must be acquired through a deal with the NFL Players Association, says Scott Philp, chief marketing officer for Quick Hit.
However, the game does feature a handful of popular, current NFL players such as Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis and New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss. Quick Hit is expected to reveal additional partnerships with other NFL stars at next week's Electronic Entertainment Expo.
Quick Hit is a free PC title that lets players coach and customize a fantasy team, run plays and create online leagues and tournaments. Currency earned following games can be used to bolster your team through free agent signings or team practice.
NFL teams will be available at the start of Quick Hit's 2010 season.
Readers, what do you think of Quick Hit?

Mitochondrial DNA variability in Russians and Ukrainians: Implication to the origin of the Eastern Slavs
Dr Boris A. Malyarchuk, Genetics Laboratory, Institute of Biological Problems of the North, Portovaya str., 18, 685000 Magadan, Russia. Tel/Fax: 741322 34463. E-mail: email@example.com
In order to investigate the origin of the Eastern Slavs, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation was examined in Russians and Ukrainians by hypervariable segment I (HVS I) sequencing and restriction analysis of the haplogroup-specific sites. No significant differences were found for Russians and Ukrainians when compared to other Europeans – in fact, they fall within the range of gene diversity seen throughout Europe and exhibit the unimodal pattern of pairwise sequence differences. Moreover, HVS I sequences in the Russians and Ukrainians are similar or identical to those found in eastern and western European populations. Despite the small genetic distances between Europeans, phylogenetic analysis reveals a considerable heterogeneity of Eastern Slavonic populations – they do not cluster together onto a phylogenetic tree. Analysis of distribution of rare HVS I types shared between populations of Eastern Slavs and other West Eurasians has shown that Russians share rare haplotypes mainly with Germans and Finno–Ugric populations. Of these, subhaplogroup H1 sequence types, which are defined by different combinations of nucleotides 16192T, 16294T, 16304C, 16311C and 16320T, are found predominantly in common between Russians and German-speaking populations. The data obtained allow us to conclude that the Slavonic migrations in early Middle Ages from their putative homeland in central Europe to the east of Europe were accompanied mostly by the same mtDNA types characteristic for the pre-Slavonic populations of eastern Europe.

An AITP meeting on a Paddlewheel boat, cruising along the South Shore of Long Island, New York? Sometimes, adding creativity to your meeting location can add excitement, and act as a membership incentive for your Chapter. On June 18, 2010 the Long Island Chapter's June monthly meeting on the topic of "Wireless Technologies" was made even more special by using the Lauren Kristy paddlewheel as our location. We held our hour meeting on board the boat, and then spent the next 2 hours cruising along the beautiful south shore of Long Island. It turned out to be a great way to welcome in summer with our colleagues in the industry. How did we handle all details and make this trip happen? As we do with most of our meetings, we left the planning to our active Program Committee and they arranged speakers, food, arranged for the boat and helped design the email flyers announcing the trip. Do our members look forward to this yearly event? Yes - and we use it as a tool to increase membership and create a professional networking event for our members. What can your Chapter do in your area to add interest and creativity to your meetings?Chapter leaders who want to learn more about how Long Island promotes membership at their events may contact Ken Mole, Long Island's Membership co-chair.

Tuesday November 13th, 2012 - 1:05PM
RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CA—Terranea Resort has a new leadership structure and strategic direction, led by EVP and Managing Director Terri A. Haack. The new executive appointments are:

The Earth cannot sustain life without healthy, thriving forests. They are home to over two-thirds of the world's species. They are like the green lungs of the planet, supplying us with oxygen and helping to balance rainfall and the climate.
Yet our forests are at risk. They are being logged for chocolate, toothpaste, tissue paper, magazines, animal feed and more. They are being burned, degraded and logged at astonishing rates – as much as 80% of the world's forests are already destroyed. Unique wildlife like orangutans and the clouded leopard are pushed to the brink of extinction, while indigenous people are uprooted from their traditional homes.
Forest destruction also fuels climate change: The world's forests store hundreds of billions tons of carbon, many times more the annual greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. When forests are degraded or destroyed, this carbon is released into the atmosphere.
Greenpeace is campaigning for zero deforestation by 2020 to protect what is left of these extraordinary ecosystems.
In East Asia, Greenpeace is working to stop Mainland China and Taiwan's role in forest destruction – they are major purchasers of paper and wood products from Southeast Asia's Paradise Forests, the Amazon and Africa's rainforests.
Deforestation is a "ticking time bomb for climate change," says Bustar Maitar, Forest campaigner for Greenpeace Southeast Asia who is Beijing to tell the Chinese media about this crisis.
Kalimantan is the home of the endangered Orangutan.
The destruction of the forest not only affects wildlife and the climate but also the indigenous people who call the forest home.
There is no need to further clear Indonesia's precious forests.
Sinar Mas itself says it has plans to enlarge its palm oil plantations by 1.3 million hectares in Papua and Kalimantan.

Goodlettsvilles Little League team is undefeated in the Little League World Series, the first time since 1974 an area team won its first two games in the event. Their next game is Thursday against Texas, also winners of its first two games.
Vanderbilt baseball coach Tim Corbin attended Sundays game against California and it was as good a game as you can find. Goodlettsville had to rally to take a 9-6 decision.
Corbin said the atmosphere surrounding the Little League World Series is similar in a lot of ways to the College World Series.
He also said if you are a baseball fan, the Little League World Series should to be on your bucket list. I would agree.
I remember how important playing Little League baseball was when I was that age. Every time it looked as if that days game was going to be rained out, I watched the sky closer than any certified meteorologist ever did.
If it was rained out, my whole day was ruined. I had to wait another week to play a game.
We never got to Williamsport. We did travel 15 miles or so to Erwin to play their All-Stars. My buddy Johnny Leach hit a home run as a train was passing just beyond the outfield fence. Spectators claimed the ball landed in one of the coal cars and I always contended it was the longest home run hit in Little League history. Think about it. He hit a ball from Erwin to Kansas City, or wherever that car came to rest.
Moving to Hendersonville, Steven Fox captured the U.S. Amateur crown at Cherry Hills CC in Colorado Sunday, winning a 36-hole match-play marathon that required an extra hole before engravers were cleared to put Foxs name on the Havemeyer trophy.
It didnt come easy for Fox, a senior at Chattanooga. He was the No. 35 seed in the 36-man field and dodged a number of bullets to reach the finals. He becomes only the second player in history to win from that position.
Down two holes with two to play, it looked bleak for Fox. But he would record back-to-back birdies to catch Cals Michael Weaver. Weaver could have closed Fox out with a 5-foot birdie putt on No. 18. It appeared to be destined for the cup, but it spun out.
Even Fox gasped when the putt failed to drop. He finished Weaver off on the playoff hole with yet another birdie putt.
So Middle Tennesseans have had a lot to cheer about. And we still have a full football season ahead of us.

When my family and I relocated to Wooster in 1984, we were struck by the charm of the city, the beauty of the parks, the safety and security of the protective services and the incredibly robust offerings of recreational activities. Sadly, those amenities are in jeopardy because of the elimination of the estate tax and major funding cuts by the state of Ohio.
As a result, our city faces a $2 million shortfall in operating revenue, which could result in a reduction of police and fire personnel as well as recreational opportunities. Wooster already has one of the lowest income tax rates in Ohio, and city officials have been vigilant in their efforts to be fiscally responsible, but the loss of funding requires additional revenue, so a very modest half-percent earned income tax levy has been placed on the May 7 ballot. Passage is essential for our proud city to maintain its high level of services and activities.
Please keep Wooster safe and vibrant by supporting this issue. I strongly believe that our city and our citizens are well worth the investment. There's no place I'd rather live than right here in Wooster. I trust that you feel the same way. Let's keep our city moving forward by passing the income tax on May 7.
John Finn
Vote NO..we do not need a tax increase at this point in time.
Loving Community, I think you misrepresented the Findlay situation. I googled the tax info and found a little different version. Several years ago, Findlay instituted a 3-year emergency income tax increase to 1.25%. In the third year, the mayor asked to keep the tax at that rate permanently because of all the state cuts in funds. Findlay residents voted the request down so the tax rate went back to 1%. Interestingly, neither Findlay nor Bowling Green have reciprocity for taxes so anyone working in one and living in the other pays both taxes. I know others have suggested Wooster drop reciprocity credit.
Wow, bam and I on the same side? I was only saying that the math of 150% increase was wrong and that I think Wooster has been a great place to live--in my case for 60+ years.
Harley and Bam do you not care about the fact that the city will generate 4.4 million dollars more then what they need? Also the fact that now there is 6 million dollars less in our local economy so local business will be hurt and hence jobs will be hurt.
I have lived in other cities and Findlay which is a very nice city dropped their income tax from 1.5% to 1% starting this year to attract more businesses and hence good paying jobs.
Correct, OSU_Fan. The increase is a 50% increase since we are starting at 1% and would be going to 1.5%. It is definitely not a 150% increase. That would give us a 2.5% income tax. While I do not always agree with the spending here, I do believe that this is a phenomenal city to live in. If you don't believe it, try looking around at other cities and check out what they offer and then what their income tax rate is.
bam, You are a one note wonder. Do you even read the other posts? Is it possible for you to respond with thoughtful analysis and discuss the topic at hand or does everything fit neatly in to your limited number of pigeon holes? All you need to do is post "bam" and we can all fill in the rest. That way you do not have to waste your time typing the same thing over and over again.
Another rat hole the city is pouring money down the drain is the city sewer plant. Its only been on line about 6 or 7 years, and the cost was about 20 million. Now the administration tells us they need 7 million more dollars to fix it the not so funny thing was that before one shovel of dirt was turned over for that 20 million dollar project. The city administration was told be, careful you might be buying into what some would call junk science. The sewer plant is an enterprise type department. So Im not sure if the city can use new tax money or if they have to raise the user rates. Either way we get screwed,
Don't worry OSU_fan,the complaints are coming from the same people that think the rich should pay more.I don't know why they don't attack local millionaires to pay more locally?If it good enough for Washington it should work here.That would fix everything.
From what I've read, the information being distributed states that the requested increase is one-half of one percent, which would make the income tax a total of 1.5% if passed. That is not the same as 150%. Also, where are you guys getting the $6 million figure? Just trying to make sense of it all. Thanks!
The city's administration and majority of council are republican. The same republicans who promoted Kasich's tax cut policies. Now that we have the tax cuts, they want a local tax. If the other party mentions taxes, they yell 'tax and spend Democrats!' The head of the Chamber told the Rotary we don't need a tax, and the board of the Chamber said they want it not to protect the status quo quality of life (which the city says is deteriorating) but for development, which means chewing up more farmland. The Daily Record keeps headlining reports of how great we're doing. I see a lot of mixed messages here.
In the city's defense, they are asking for more than the projected shortfall because they do not want to have to come back to the voters for additional funding in a couple of years. They are trying to be proactive.
That being said, I see the reasoning but do not agree with passing the income tax. Make the cuts and lets move on.
Mr Finn
While I can appreciate your sentiments on the town and what you like about it, it is not 1984. And that in my opinion is one of the greatest issues our local area struggles with. We need to accept and move past this fixation on keeping things they way they have always been. We simply cannot afford literally or figuratively to live like we did in 1984.
someone whats a raise remember the school levy. the city needs to do what the rest of us are doing stop spending more than you have. maintain what you got and quit adding things we can do without out. I agree why are you asking for 6mill if 2mill is what you need.
As thinkagain stated the city does not need this tax that will hurt the local economy and reduce the quality of life for those who are paying the tax. The city will generate 6 million dollars with this tax. Why do they need 4 million more then there shortfall?
I posted this before and I will continue to do so until people realize that the city of Wooster does not need a permanent tax levy passed. *** Another way to look at things may help people see the reality of the situation which is a greedy city government trying to capitalize on a possible temporary situation. Several years ago when Strickland was governor the budget worked in a certain way. Yes, there were some problems, but Wooster seemed to fair well. When Kasich became governor, he had a different view of budgeting. (I am just explaining here - not judging) His view took money away from municipalities. A state budget is, in reality, a temporary problem. In a very short time, Ohio may have a new governor with, yet another, method of budgeting. What the leaders of the city of Wooster are doing is very simple. They are trying to pass a permanent tax hike to deal with what may be a temporary problem. Instead of working within the present budget until the next election for governor, they want to line their pockets with "permanent" tax money so they will be rolling in money. Instead of waiting, the city of Wooster is jumping at the chance to grab our hard-earned dollars, so they can be squandered away on any whim. No to raising the city tax. In the mean time, to tide us over, maybe some of our over-paid city administrative employees (some of whom outsource their jobs so we pay twice) could take a pay cut. Just sayin'!
If the city is facing a 2 million dollar shortfall why are they asking for 6 million dollars in extra revenue that will be generated with a 150% increase to the city income tax?
yes lets give them more money like we did the school levy someone wants a raise
