In the south of the Netherlands it is Mad Tuesday, the last day of carnival. In spite of one death when a man was run over after a fall from one of the floats and a seriously injured woman following a fall from a balcony, Dutch media report there have been fewer casualties than usual this year.
In the provinces of Gelderland, North Brabant and Limburg it was relatively quiet for the emergency services. During the carnival festivities, revellers traditionally dress up to celebrate before the start of the fasting period leading up to Easter in the mainly Catholic south. The partying is usually accompanied by lavish amounts of alcohol.
The academic hospital in Maastricht reported more patients than normal on Saturday night. Four or five people were brought in with alcohol poisoning. A number of people were treated for cuts and bruises following fights. In Thorn firemen had to cut one man free who had accidently landed on a pointed metal garden fence. Other hospitals report a slight rise in minor injuries during the festivities at the weekend.http://cdn.radionetherlands.nl/data/files/carnaval_0.jpg

We design digital products to push commerce forward
What's the problem?
We start our design process by asking a lot of questions. If there's an oportunity to solve a problem we take a deep breath and try to see the big picture behind it. That enable us to ask the right questions and understand exactly what we're solving.
- Is this a real problem?
- Who's affected by it?
- How does it impact its surroundings?
- Is it a product or a feature?
- What does the data tells us?
Only when the problem is well defined and the whole team is on the same track, we go to the next stage.
How can the problem be solved?
If there's a definition for this step, it's experimentation. Here we do our best to lose ourselves into the problem and explore it with different points of view. We try to see it through the eyes of who's affected – then we do a lot of sketches and start prototyping.
Are we heading in the right direction?
Building a product or a feature can be costly. That's why, before we start building, we put a initial version of the solution in the hands of some users. The more feedback we can get, the best our solution will be. Sometimes we even need to start from scratch and focus our efforts on what our users really need.
Just ship it.
It's show time! We have a lot of fun getting our hands dirty – coding and building the product or feature. And we're never alone: we work closely with developers and get some help from some tools. In this stage we don't want to reinvent the wheel, we want to move fast and ship it!
Is it solving the problem?
"Digital design is like painting, except the paint never dries."— Neville Brody
Our product is constantly evolving, since there's always room for improvements. After the release we stay close, collecting user's feedback and analyzing the data. Here's where we usually get back to the investigation stage and identify how we can make the life of our users even better.

There is no real argument made here for why they shouldn't be "moved back" (the re-branding of the Bobcats), just a weak opinion at the end saying we shouldn't "mar their glory." I was expecting to read at least an attempt at a compelling argument for why the Bobcats should stay the Bobcats, not just the author's unsupported opinion.
As a native Charlottean who loved the Hornets when they were here, I would be more inclined to give my heart to the Bobcats were they renamed the Hornets. I also think it would make sense from a marketing standpoint (as the first commenter noted). I can't think of any good reason NOT to re-brand the Bobcats, honestly.

H1N1 Treatment
October 9, 2011 by staff
H1N1 Treatment, Patients with severe respiratory failure due to the H1N1 influenza pandemic were less likely to die if they were treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in place of standard mechanical ventilation, the researchers reported.
The risk of death among patients treated with ECMO was approximately half of patients who received standard therapy during the winter of 2009/2010, according to Giles Peek, MD, of Glenfield Hospital in Leicester, England, and colleagues.
The finding comes from ananlysis of patients in pigs in the UK, flu Triage Study (known as SWIFT), a prospective cohort of patients with suspected or confirmed H1N1 in need of critical care Peek, and colleagues reported online in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The study was released early to coincide with a presentation at the meeting of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine in Berlin.
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been controversial for two reasons: It has not been convincingly demonstrated that the benefits observed are due only to the ECMO and the procedure is more expensive than standard treatment.
During the winter the pandemic, 80 patients were referred to the four ECMO centers in the United Kingdom, of whom 69 received ECMO, the researchers reported. Of those patients, 22 (27.5%) died before discharge.
To see how it compares with standard therapy, the researchers compared patients with ECMO cohort members SWIFT received usual care in other facilities, using three different statistical methods: individual game, propensity score, and matching GenMatch.
Regardless of the method, it was reported that the mortality rate among patients without ECMO was almost double that of the ECMO get. Specifically:
There were 59 pairs of patients, using the individual game plan and the hospital mortality rate was 23.7% for ECMO patients compared with 52.5% for non-ECMO patients. The relative risk was 0.45 with a confidence interval 95% 0.26 to 0.79, which was significant at P = 0.006.
There were 75 pairs by comparing the propensity score, and mortality rates were 24% and 46.7% of patients ECMO and ECMO, respectively. The relative risk was 0.51 with a confidence interval 95% 0.31 to 0.81, which was significant at P = 0.008.
Finally, there were 75 parties identified by comparing GenMatch, and the hospital mortality rate was 24% of ECMO patients compared with 50.7% for those not receiving ECMO. The relative risk was 0.47 with a confidence interval 95% 0.31 to 0.72, which was significant at P = 0.001.
Patient characteristics used in play are defined from the outset and includes many who are expected to have an effect on the outcome, including age, degree of hypoxemia, organ dysfunction, pregnancy, obesity and use of strategies alternative ventilation, Peek and colleagues reported.
However, they warned, unobserved factors that might have affected the results. They added that the management of ECMO patients was not part of the study protocol so it can not tell if the lung-protective ventilation was used by them.
Finally, they noted, the results should be generalized with caution because, among other things, the groups of patients had some important differences.
The findings add to the results of other studies that have "revitalized interest" in ECMO as a therapeutic strategy for ARDS, according to William Checkley, MD, PhD, Johns Hopkins University.
In an accompanying editorial, Checkley said that the observed differences in mortality are just that, and suggested that it might be time for a randomized controlled trial of ECMO early in the course of ARDS.
In the UK study, noted that patients who received ECMO were treated in highly specialized, so it is difficult to "separate" treatment effect of the benefits of having highly experienced caregivers.
And down he said, ECMO is invasive, requires no anticoagulation may be associated with serious adverse effects, and can only be done in specialized environments.
Swift's study was supported by the National Institute of Health Research. The newspaper said the money has been given informed look at his institution of the Society of Critical Care Medicine, European Society of Intensive Care, Avalon Laboratories, medical and Chalice.
Checkley is supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. The magazine said he had reported no disclosures.

prep time
(2 halves)
Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks; place in small bowl. Mash yolks with fork or potato masher.
Stir in mayonnaise, mustard, smoked paprika and seasoned salt until smooth and creamy. Spoon or pipe yolk mixture into egg white halves. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon.
Refrigerate 1 hour or until ready to serve.
I have heart failure issues so should probably avoid seasoned salt & use salt free spices instead. I briefly subscribed to Blue Apron and discovered some new spices (ie sumac, used with Mediterranean and middle eastern dishes). I would look for flavor adding, salt free spices when I make this.

by Ken Wheatcroft-Pardue
In Memphis, just past dawn, a couple is walking on a downtown street looking as if they're searching for something. You know what I mean. Their heads swivel here and there, as if perusing the dank sidewalk for something they'd lost long ago.
The first thing you can't help but notice is that the woman is shorter by about a foot than the man. But what you can't divine at first glance is that the woman is also younger by ten years. Her name is Susan, and she is marching down the street like she'd steamroll over anybody who made their last mistake by getting in her way. The man's name is Thomas, and he's doing what he usually does, following along behind Susan, like a trained monkey.
Of course, he's thinking about what a great sport he's being, for he just now left the comparative safety of the Trailways Bus Station to wander through downtown Memphis in search of a Catholic church — all for Susan, of course.
Not that the bus station was much of a sanctuary, really – more like a phantasmagoria of the grotesque, society's riff-raffs – losers, lonely hearts, small-time grifters, the habitually unemployed, dope-peddlers, opening their raincoats to expose, not their genitalia, but plastic sealed bags filled supposedly with only the best Mexican thunderfuck, a choice of papers (yellow and white), and a colorful cornucopia of pills of one sort or another, all of it staged with the background music of videogame aliens being annihilated combined with subtle undertones made up almost entirely of the tinny sounds of coin-operated TV's.
So Thomas had left that special place to follow Susan. And Susan . . . well, she is one of those women who are terminally nervous. You know the type — fingernails bitten, probably some secret cloth hidden in one of her pockets that she rubs like a talisman. Having been brought up in Catholic schools and from the cradle fed whole gobs of guilt, she's always dreamt of being a nun. Everyday she wonders why she is with Thomas or any man, really.
Her experiences with men had all been more or less the same. At first, she always enjoyed giving herself physically. And why not? She loved seducing men. It was always so easy.
She loved how after first meeting one he'd get so excited he'd take her on the floor, on a sink, and, even, once on a washing machine, while it was still running. But it was what came later she couldn't stand. They always wanted more than her body.
As Susan and Thomas walk through an old neighborhood of redbrick apartments, the mostly poor, mostly African-American tenants step out to fumble for their rolled-up Memphis Posts, looking at the couple with a smile reserved for the uninitiated.
"How much further do you think the church is?" Thomas asks, looking over his shoulder at the black tenants who seem to him to be laughing at a private joke, or, most likely, at them, he figured.
"I don't know," Susan says, "I saw what looked like a church tower from the bus station. We're near it, I think."
"Okay, dear one," Thomas says, forcing a smile. He was wondering, why had they left the bus station anyway? Who knows what goes on in this neighborhood, even in broad daylight? For God sakes, didn't Susan know that blacks had a sixth sense for knowing if you were racists? He could end up dead out here, but did Susan care? Hell, no.
All that was on her mind was Mass, which as far as Thomas was concerned might as well still be in Latin. The Roman Catholic priests weren't anything like the Baptist preachers he'd grown up listening to in East Texas. Now there was preaching. There was the eternal battle between good and evil. By contrast, the priests always seemed engaged in something foreign and, frankly, silly, like opera.
But no one was going to ask his opinion, and he sure knew it. Susan was one strong-willed, high maintenance, pain in the royal butt. And all the great sex they'd had in the beginning of their relationship was now turning into a faint and distant memory.
That's why they'd gone on this disaster of a trip, he figured. It was a silly caprice, really, thought up one night after too many Cuba Libres, and after watching that old flick with Jimmy Stewart about him going to Washington and fixing everything up. Somehow they had got it in their sloshed heads to go visit the Lincoln Memorial to renew– what? – their innocence, their naiveté, their love. Thomas had forgotten which.
They never even made it to Virginia, too many fights, not enough money. The fact was that Susan was ill-equipped to handle the vagaries of hitchhiking. You could never know just when you were going to be picked up or how far you'd end up going.
Maybe you'd spend 5 minutes on some shoulder somewhere and get the ride of your life, somebody that would buy you dinner and wouldn't expect anything in return. But more than likely, you'd spend hours under the unrelenting sun of the summer of 1980 at the side of some godforsaken highway, the asphalt turning into melted wax, and end up getting picked up by a fat middle-aged guy who'd seemed nice at first, but then after a few minutes he'd start rubbing his crotch, and hinting in a not-so-roundabout way about a threesome. Well, hitching obviously wasn't for Susan. And now they were headed back to Texas by bus, tails firmly implanted between their legs.
As Susan rushes headlong, her fingernails dig into her palms. She wants so badly now to suck her thumb. Thomas doesn't know about this habit of hers. She's kept it from him, like so many things, her brief love affair last winter with her brother and the three tightly rolled joints hidden in a secret place in her purse. Thomas had found out about her biting her nails, and that had driven him absolutely apoplectic. If he knew even half the rest, he'd shoot through the roof for sure.
What she couldn't figure out was why was she with him anyway? The sex wasn't even good any more? She often wondered why did all men have to prove their loyalty to you by making sex more and more boring?
Thomas stops to look at a TV in a store window. It was one of those morning shows. Some serious-looking somebody is nodding at the host, who in turn looks serious, too. Then the camera stops on the host, who now breaks out in a huge grin showing off what must have been thousands of dollars worth of orthodontia, all the while looking right at the camera, speaking to an audience he couldn't even see.
Thomas recognizes the host, but can't quite come up with his name. He used to be on some doctor show some years back. Now he was just an actor playing a TV host. To Thomas, he seemed much more believable as a doctor, really.
Now Thomas watches a commercial. There is a bowl of cereal with milk being poured on it and all the characters — a mother, a father and two kids (one boy/one girl) are moving in fast motion. Thomas laughs. He always loves commercials the best. They always crack him up.
Looking down the street, he notices Susan already across it. "Damn," he says, then speeds up. When he finally gets beside her, he declares, "Sure is a nice morning," then trying to look down into her face, adds, "I like mornings like this."
Susan nods her head and a faint smile rises to her lips, but she's not really paying attention to even one word he's saying. To her he sounds something akin to a tape cassette squalling before it's rewound.
"Here it is," Susan announces as she runs up the stairs and pulls on the handle of a big wooden door. When it doesn't open, she glances back at Thomas and asks, "What's wrong? There should be a Morning Mass here."
"Uh-ahem," Thomas coughs, having heard that clearing your throat was a good way to draw attention to yourself. "This sign says there's only one service – on Sunday."
As if doubting Thomas, Susan runs down the steps to check out the sign, but sure enough, her lips move as she reads to herself the church's name that runs at the top of the sign: Brother Muhammad's East African Free Church.
"There's got to be a Catholic church around here some where," Susan states, as if it were an obvious fact that any fool would fully acknowledge.
As usual, Thomas follows, while noticing how Susan's small body sends out waves of anxious energy that are almost visible.
"Let's not get too far from the bus station, dear one," he warns as Susan rounds another corner.
"No, we won't," she says, pointing to the right, "The bus station's that way."
Thomas turns and points behind them, "Uh, I think it's that way, honey bun."
She shrugs, "We can always ask," then she leans forward looking as if she's sending out invisible sonar especially designed to detect Catholic vibrations.
"There's one," she says, pointing toward an ornate neo-Gothic church. She crosses the street, running. Thomas, afraid she's going to be run over, scampers behind her, ever ready to push her out of the path of a speeding car, or even to use his own body to protect her, but the street turns out sadly, for him, to be completely void of any on-coming traffic.
Surprised his noble desire for sacrifice leads to naught, Thomas pauses to gaze down the empty street, but just as he does he trips on the curb, just catching himself before he would've smashed his nose on the dirty cracked and gum-encrusted concrete. As he brushes the sidewalk off his jeans, he spots Susan running, so he pulls himself up to catch up to her.
"The Ethiopian Church of the Raining Christ!" she declares at Thomas, as if somehow it were his fault. He feels his face growing red and hot.
"Look, dear one, I think all the Catholic churches moved from this neighborhood years ago. These are all black churches. I think it's called 'white flight,'" he says, but his voice comes out pleading, not nearly as powerful as he wanted.
"Oh, but there has to be one," Susan says, just the way he wanted to say it.
Another church was down the street. Susan speeds toward it. Her little hands are now fists as what's left of her fingernails digs into her palms. She jogs to the glassed-in sign and sees herself in its reflection, a round-faced, sweating pilgrim with blond tousled hair. Then she notices Thomas behind her, putting his hands on her shoulders. For a split second, his unctuous hovering as always makes her sick to the very pit of her stomach, but then she notices the sign.
"Catholic," she whispers.
Once inside she touches the water and bends one knee toward the altar where a priest and nun are passing out the elements of Christ to the few parishioners that have made it to this morning's Mass. As she walks toward the chancel, Thomas slides into a corner pew.
He likes being inside the church. It's cool and dark, but something eats at him. They don't really belong here. They are sojourners, and he, for one, isn't even a Catholic. But more than anything, the overt holiness of the Mass always makes him feel soft and mushy, which he hates with every fiber in his being.
After taking the body and blood, Susan sits beside him, calm now. Her head bent in prayer. This is always when Thomas loves her the best. She is so beautiful, her long, very fine blond hair falling over her face. Something about her small, compact body, her head bent like a supplicant suddenly gets Thomas excited. All the frustrations of the past few days fly out of his head. He wants her, and if possible, right here in the church's pew, right now during mass.
When Susan stops praying, Thomas reaches over to caress her hand, but Susan doesn't feel his touch. She's thinking. Thinking about her body as the ultimate receptacle of saliva, semen, and even, of the body and blood of Christ. When, she wonders, will she offer her uterus, if not her heart, to the living God?

High security no.plates become mandatory in Punjab
Punjab Govt asked concerned authorities to implement its directive regarding High Security Registration Plates on vehicles.
Chandigarh: The Punjab Government on Monday asked concerned authorities to implement its directive regarding High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) on vehicles and made an appeal to the general public to have them fixed at the earliest.
It is necessary to have high security number plates on vehicles registered in Punjab as per the Central Motor Vehicle Rule, 1989, a spokesman of the state transport said.
According to the directions of the Supreme Court, all new vehicles would require such plates at the time of purchase and the work of fixing them on old vehicles has already been started in the districts Transport offices, he said.
He said that as per the fixed rates, the number plates for scooter, motor cycle, moped and other two wheelers would cost Rs 100, three wheelers would be Rs 135 whereas light motor vehicles/ passenger cars would get it for Rs 295.
Medium commercial vehicles/ heavy commercial vehicles/ trailers/ combination would get it for Rs 315 and agriculture tractor/ other vehicles for Rs 100, besides this 12.5 per cent VAT and 10 per cent surcharge on VAT would be levied on fixed rates.

The president of the Portland Police Association, the city's rank-and-file police union, took the unusual step of commenting on a story in a private statement to members, the Mercury has learned, responding to our report last week about an officer facing an investigation after he was caught on video using a racial slur commonly aimed at African Americans.
The statement by Daryl Turner, who is African American, was issued Monday. The Mercury has since obtained a copy. It opens with a caveat that "we should reserve judgment until all facts have been gathered and the investigation is complete." But then it goes on, after that nod to due process, to strongly condemn the use of racial epithets in any context.
On Friday, the Portland Mercury posted a story and video regarding a Portland Police officer's use of a racial epithet when interacting with the public. The police bureau will investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. As with all pending investigations, we should reserve judgment until all facts have been gathered and the investigation is complete.
It is important for all of us to use this instance as a reminder. As members of the Portland Police Bureau, it is our goal to always interact with the public with the highest level of integrity and professionalism. The PPA and its members do not condone the use of any epithet, whether based on race, gender, nationality, or sexual orientation. We do not condone such language in our homes, and we certainly do not condone such epithets in the line of duty.
As we further report in this week's issue, the slur used by Officer Michael Hall came during a confrontation with three men, two of them African American, outside a club near SW 2nd and Burnside in early October. The men had come down to celebrate a birthday after finishing shifts at Nordstrom, according to Yasmin Talic, one of the participants who spoke with the Mercury.
The video, just 27 seconds long, doesn't make clear whether Hall first used the slur, or if he was parroting someone else who used it first. Talic says he also doesn't remember who used it first. That distinction may not stay any discipline. Bureau rules on "courtesy" do not allow officers to use slurs on the street—only when they're on the stand or quoting someone in a police report.
Talic also told the Mercury he first tried complaining about the incident to the police bureau soon after it happened but that, in his opinion, no one took him seriously.
Turner's statement is the strongest one yet against the use of a slur by an officer—eclipsing Police Chief Mike Reese's far more measured promise to investigate and ensure cops treat people with "respect."
But it also wasn't, it seems, meant for public consumption. It does not appear on the union's website under a list of recent press releases and public statements. (Though Turner did recently post a statement complaining that Andrea Damewood—the Willamette Week reporter who's moved on to work for the Bureau of Labor and Industries—had falsely quoted him defending a cop, Jason Lobaugh, facing domestic violence allegations.)
It's obviously important for cops to know what their union president thinks—especially when he's sending a strong message against misconduct. But I'd also say it's important for the rest of us to know, too.

Wallace 'tearing his hair out' over official 'responses' on unemployment
DEPUTY Mick Wallace says he is tearing his hair out over the responses given by the Minister for Jobs Mary Mitchell O'Connor over the rising level of unemployment in Wexford.
'People have been calling for me to get my hair cut for over 40 years now. Well I'll have torn it all out by the time I get an proper response to the issues facing Wexford from someone in this government or the last,' he said.
'I asked the Minister in December 2016 to take direct action to tackle the 18.4 per cent unemployment rate in Wexford as the national average was 7.2 per cent.
'She told me then that everything was great in the South East, when in actual fact it wasn't. At the end of January, 2017 the national average unemployment (rate) fell to 7.1 per cent while, unbelievably, the unemployment rate in Wexford increased to 18.8 per cent,' the Deputy said in a statement.
Deputy Wallace said he asked the minister again last week if the State would act in view of the fact that Wexford is one of the most deprived counties in the country.
'Again she told me about the Action Plan for Jobs process and how many jobs they've created in the South East.
'The truth, which the Minister would understand if she could tear herself away from her script for a second, is that the South East is the worst performing area in the state regarding job creation and Wexford is by far the worst performing county in the South East.
'Despite having the second largest population in the South East Wexford had the lowest number off IDA site visits, both last year, and for the combined period from 2011 to 2016.
'People in government do not seem to realise that we have one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, the highest suicide rate, one of the highest rates of rent supplement payment, one of the highest percentages of people who have no formal primary education, and one of the lowest rates of people completing third level education. 'Some of our politicians in Wexford claim credit for a few roads, a new Garda station, a new court house, grants for every sports club in the county, but they can't hide behind the reality - Wexford has been left behind and the gap in inequality between Wexford and other counties is growing,' he said.

UBER'S latest push -- CAMPAIGNS: Stringer eyes re-elect; Holland eyes rematch -- CAROLYN RYAN added to NYT masthead
By Jimmy Vielkind in Albany and Azi Paybarah in Manhattan, with Addy Baird and Daniel Lippman
UBER GETS BACK ON THE AIR -- POLITICO New York's Jimmy Vielkind: The ride-hailing giant Uber is hitting the airwaves again with a month-long, seven-figure ad campaign, a spokeswoman told POLITICO New York.

Andrew Cuomo and other officials have said is a geographic inequity between New York City — where Uber operates, thanks to the city's financial and regulatory strength, under the same framework as other for-hire car services — and upstate areas where it is effectively banned. "Wouldn't it be nice to be able to get anywhere from anywhere? Even if anywhere is where there aren't a lot of other transportation options?" the ad says. "Ridesharing apps like Uber would help boost the Upstate economy, attract startups, reduce drunk driving and just make it easier for all of us to get from here to there." It's the second time in three months Uber has turned to broadcast ads in its lobbying push. In December, when ride-hailing was being considered in a special session of the Legislature that never came to be, the company spent $1.2 million on broadcast and cable ads. Read more.

STRINGER THROWS COLD WATER ON MAYORAL RUN -- POLITICO New York's Laura Nahmias: City Comptroller Scott Stringer stopped just short of ruling out a run for mayor in 2017 during a radio interview Thursday, saying "it's safe to assume that I will continue to be doing the job that I truly love, which is serving as comptroller." Stringer has emerged as one of Mayor Bill de Blasio's most fervent intra-party critics, but told WNYC's Brian Lehrer that he is just doing his job.
"I believe that there's a real role in the city for someone who calls it as he sees it ... We don't back down. I'm not afraid of a fight," he added. Stringer and de Blasio have escalated their criticism of each other in recent months, and earlier this week traded barbs over the mayor's homelessness spending and his plan to create 100,000 new jobs over the next decade. … Stringer … "[De Blasio is] very focused on his election, his re-election, whatever he's going to run for. I just don't have to deal with that." Read more.

'If you are here, you are a New Yorker,' Ms. Mark-Viverito said at Kings Theatre in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn. She called New York's estimated three million immigrants 'an indispensable part of our city's landscape.'" It was a defiant speech from Ms. Mark-Viverito, the city's first Latina speaker and perhaps its most prominent Hispanic politician. … 'We will not waste city resources to help immigration authorities locate otherwise law abiding New Yorkers who pose no threat to public safety,' Ms. Mark-Viverito said."

HARLEM REMATCH -- Holland to challenge Perkins in September -- Gotham Gazette's Samar Khurshid: "Union organizer Marvin Holland, the runner up in Tuesday's special election for the District 9 City Council seat, has confirmed to Gotham Gazette that he will mount a challenge against the winner Bill Perkins when the seat is up for grabs again later this year. … State Senator Bill Perkins, who held the District 9 seat between 1998 and 2005, won with 3750 votes, about 34 percent of the 11,149 votes cast … Perkins will serve the rest of Dickens' term and will have to run for reelection, which will involve a Democratic primary in September. Holland, who came second in the race with 2073 votes, believes that he can build more support and name recognition to pose a stronger challenge in the September primary." Read more.
QUINN ENDORSES ELLISON FOR DNC CHAIRMAN -- POLITICO New York's Laura Nahmias: Former City Council Speaker Christine Quinn intends to cast her ballot for Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison for Democratic National Committee chairman, an Ellison spokesman told POLITICO New York. Ellison is racing to secure endorsements and votes ahead of the Feb. 25 election in Atlanta, and has already received support from New York elected officials including Mayor Bill de Blasio, Reps. Hakeem Jeffries, Joe Crowley, Yvette Clarke, and Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. …
Ellison is running in a spirited race against more than a half-dozen other candidates for the party post. Former Labor Secretary Tom Perez announced earlier this week that he had secured 180 of the 224 votes necessary to win the chairmanship, but Ellison's camp called that whip count "unverifiable." … Quinn said the party needs "a progressive who will push a message that focuses on hardworking men and women across the country, championing their cause ahead of the elite and those at the top."

MORNING MEDIA, with POLITICO's Joe Pompeo:
-- WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? "We" as in the press. I was talking about this last night with Trump biographer Tim O'Brien. "Rule no. 1: forget about ourselves," he said. "Who cares about how he handles the press? The only people who care about how he handles the press is the press. So what? We're gonna be here long after he's gone. All the press should do is stay completely focused on the fact pattern, and holding him accountable around a series of issues: national security, conflicts of interest, managing the federal bureaucracy, the delivery of jobs, his campaign promises around tax reduction, immigration reform, the repeal of Obamacare. These are all issues that can be defined by facts."
-- ANOTHER NEW NAME ON THE NEW YORK TIMES MASTHEAD: Welcome to the club, Carolyn Ryan, who was named an assistant editor yesterday following her stint running coverage of the campaign and election as political editor. In Ryan's new role, according to a memo, her "primary responsibility will be to recruit investigative reporters, narrative writers, beat reporters, editors and visual journalists," as as well as taking on "additional projects," like "to think about ways to cover the phenomenon of fake news." The appointment of Ryan, formerly metro editor and Washington bureau chief, marks the latest change for a senior management team that's been thoroughly re-shaped over the past year, between the elevation of Joe Kahn to managing editor; the departures of Susan Chira (now a writer), Ian Fisher (now Jerusalem bureau chief) and Lydia Polgreen (now EIC of HuffPost); and the additions of Times vet Cliff Levy and, perhaps most notably, Rebecca Blumenstein, who recently joined the Times' deputy-managing-editor circle after 22 years at The Wall Street Journal. Full memo on Ryan's move is here.

HARLEM GAS EXPLOSION SETTLED -- Daily News' Glenn Blain: "Con Edison has agreed to a $153.3 million settlement with state regulators in the case of the 2014 East Harlem gas explosion that killed eight people. The agreement between the Public Service Commission and Con Edison is the largest gas safety-related settlement in New York history and will ensure that the utility — and not ratepayers — pay for repairs to its gas distribution system, officials announced Thursday. 'The East Harlem explosion was devastating and entirely avoidable,' Gov. Cuomo said. 'This landmark action is a pointed reminder to the energy companies of their awesome responsibility to maintain safety first and foremost.' Under the settlement, the bulk of the funds — about $125 million — will be used to cover gas leak repairs Con Edison has made to its system since the East Harlem explosion. Such expenses would normally be charged back to ratepayers." Read more.
PORT AUTHORITY PLAN APPROVED -- WSJ's Melanie Grayce West and Kate King: "The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey approved a $32.2 billion capital plan Thursday that would, during the next decade, fund major upgrades and repairs across the region. The agency's largest-ever capital plan includes more than $3 billion for a rail link from the Willets Point neighborhood in Queens to LaGuardia Airport and, separately, a PATH-service extension to Newark Liberty International Airport. It also includes $3.5 billion to replace the aging Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie took credit for the funding plan, saying it was the result of months of negotiation with Cuomo. 'We shouldn't pretend that it's something different than that—it's not. They ratified our decision today,' Mr. Christie said." Read more here.
EAT BEAT -- "Michelin-Starred Charmer Take Root is Closing," by Eater's Patty Diez: "The Michelin-starred, Carroll Gardens charmer Take Root will close on March 17 after four years. The lease at 187 Sackett St. is coming to an end, just as partners Anna Hieronimus and Elise Kornack closed on a house upstate. 'The timing just felt appropriate,' Kornack tells Eater the day after her third James Beard nomination for Rising Star of the Year. 'This is the best time for us.' It's the second closing for the restaurant, with the first from August to November 2015, when the partners took a break and made a few cosmetic changes to the dining room. This time it's permanent. Kornack and Hieronimus are not only business partners; they're a couple. And they've been the sole employees of the restaurant since it opened… The mighty, 12-seat restaurant originally opened in 2013, in a space that doubled as a yoga studio. It took some time to earn critics' attention, but within two years, it received glowing reviews from Gale Greene, Ligaya Mishan, and a Best New Restaurant nod from Josh Ozersky." More at Eater.
ON BROADWAY -- "Sara Bareilles Will Star in 'Waitress,' Her Broadway Acting Debut," by NYT's Michael Paulson: "She wrote the songs. Now she's going to sing them. Sara Bareilles is planning to step into the lead role of 'Waitress,' the hit Broadway musical for which she composed the music and wrote the lyrics. Ms. Bareilles, a soulful singer-songwriter, will succeed Jessie Mueller, who has been with the show since it opened last spring. Ms. Mueller's last performance will be March 26; Ms. Bareilles's first performance — her Broadway acting debut — will be March 31, and she is planning to spend 10 weeks in the role, through June 11. 'It's something I've been quietly mulling over since the show began,' Ms. Bareilles said… Ms. Bareilles's move, from the world of composing to performing on Broadway, is unusual but not unprecedented. Among the pop stars who appeared in Broadway shows for which they composed music are Sting ('The Last Ship'), Boy George ('Taboo') and Billy Joe Armstrong ('American Idiot')." More at NYT.
WOODY ALLEN RETURNS TO BROOKLYN -- Gothamist's Ben Yakas: "As he has done every year since 1982, Woody Allen has been working on a new movie; this one is slated to be released later in 2017. And after dipping his toes back into the Hudson River with last year's Cafe Society, it seems his latest film will bring Allen back to his hometown borough.
According to Woody Allen Pages, the new movie is called Wonder Wheel, after the famous ferris wheel located in Coney Island. This marks the director's first return to the Boardwalk since 1977's Annie Hall. The Wonder Wheel happened to make a cameo in that movie as well." Read more.
REAL ESTATE, with POLITICO New York's Sally Goldenberg:
-- WATER FIGHT: "Appellate Division rules against de Blasio's water bill rebate," by POLITICO New York's Laura Nahmias: A state appeals court on Thursday upheld a lower court ruling invalidating Mayor Bill de Blasio's plan for a 2.1 percent water rate increase and water rebate for some property owners, dealing a potentially fatal blow to an initiative the mayor had cast as a battle between the city's haves and have nots. In its decision, which de Blasio vowed to appeal, the Appellate Division rejected the administration's justification for the rate increase and rebate, saying "the rate increase adopted and credit issued to some, but not all, of its customers are without a rational basis and, therefore arbitrary." De Blasio announced last spring that he would end the city's practice of taking money from water rates and using it to bolster the city's general fund. But the city's water board had already set a 2.1 percent rate increase, and de Blasio decided to give the $122 million rental payment back to roughly 650,000 property owners in the form of a $183 rebate. Read more.
-- RAT HOLE: "Tenants Urge Takeover of Bronx Building at Center of Illness Spread by Rats," by DNAinfo's Eddie Small: "The city has pledged to help wrest control of the building where a person came down with a rare disease spread via rat urine from its current owner, notorious landlord Ved Parkash. Officials from the Department of Health, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the Mayor's Office held a meeting at 750 Grand Concourse on Wednesday evening to educate tenants about leptospirosis, a bacterial infection transmitted by rat urine that has recently sickened three people in the neighborhood, including a tenant at 750 Grand Concourse. ... The city agreed to help tenants with the process of getting a 7A administrator for 750 Grand Concourse, which would enable a court-appointed representative to take over operations at the building."

Whether you have been collecting coins for a long time or you are just getting your collection started, you have probably wondered how to determine how much certain coins are worth. Watch this video to learn what goes into appraising the value of a coin.
It is important for every collector to know that gold and silver coins are almost always worth more than their face value. Keep in mind that a coin's age does not necessarily make it more valuable. Rare coins, such as ones with imprinting errors, tend to be worth more because so few exist. While you can try to estimate the value of a coin using printed guides, you'll get a much more accurate appraisal from a coin dealer.
Let the experts at Coins of the Realm in Gaithersburg tell you how much your coins are worth. Contact us at (301) 637-6220 or visit our website to learn more about the appraisal process, including our free in-store verbal appraisal.

In this practice guideline
Orders affecting your Rights: compulsory licences or sale orders
Any person may request the Commissioner to consider whether reasonable quantities of reproductive material (plants, seeds, etc.) of a protected variety are currently available for purchase by members of the public at a reasonable price.
However this request may only be made three years after the date Rights were granted for the variety concerned. The request must be accompanied by payment of the prescribed fee. After considering the request the Commissioner may, if he considers it warranted, issue a compulsory licence or a compulsory sale order to the person who made the request.
A compulsory licence permits its holder to produce for sale and to sell reproductive material of the protected variety. A compulsory sale order is more appropriate for a person who wants to receive reproductive material of the protected variety, but has no interest in producing reproductive material for sale.
In every case the Commissioner will require the person granted a compulsory licence or sale order to pay a specified royalty to the holder of the Plant Variety Rights grant.

Dedham, MA (PressExposure) November 11, 2011 -- SAPexperts posted a new article, "How to Validate Segregation of Duties Results," to its GRC Expert online knowledgebase.
This article outlines the steps needed to prove that the SAP BusinessObjects Access Control reports are accurate. This is often demanded by management, due to being bombarded with an overload of data. First running segregation of duties (SoD) reports in SAP BusinessObjects Access Control often leads to a fear of inaccurate data. That's why it is imperative to know the best practice of verifying the resulting data.
The steps outlined in this article are specific to SAP BusinessObjects Risk Analysis and Remediation (RAR) version 5.3, as this is currently the most used version. They are also applicable to SAP BusinessObjects Access Control 10.0. Bob Croce, product director of SAPexperts comments, "With all the data that comes out of SAP BusinessObjects Access Control reports, staff can justifiably become worried that data may be incorrect. That is why this article puts forth the steps to substantiate the data involved".
The article is written by Jayne Gibbon, Director of SAP GRC Support, SAP. The article abstract is located at: http://www.grcexpertonline.com/article.cfm?id=6058
About the Authors:
Jayne Gibbon, CPA, is a director of GRC Support at SAP. Prior to joining SAP in 2007, Jayne worked for eight years at a Fortune 200 manufacturing company. Jayne worked in various areas, including internal audit and computer security. Part of her experience included leading the very first implementation of Virsa's Compliance Calibrator.

text: I think I mastered smoked salmon (hot and cold). I love it and do it regularly. However when it comes to cooking salmon I never managed to wow myself. Tried grilled, fried, planked...It's just tasted OK. So I don't even bother anymore. Stick with smoked. Do you have a wow salmon or recipe? Grilled, baked, bbq-ed, poached. Something you would cook for dinner, to enjoy right then..Fillet, whole, steaks...doesn't matter. No sugar, maple syrup or honey please. Don't like my meat/fish sweet. Thank you

Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan eschews the conventions of the crime-thriller genre to bring us this story of a group of men searching for a body on the Anatolian grasslands. While they look, the men unintentionally philosophise on topics ranging from yoghurt to suicide, making this a truly fascinating and insightful feature film.
Critically acclaimed around the world, Once Upon a Time in Anatolia won the Grand Jury prize at Cannes Film Festival 2012.

Munich – Bits & Pretzels Founders Festival: Digital Innovation meets "Gemütlichkeit"
A start up success story itself, Bits & Pretzels which is only 2 years old, started as a local breakfast networking event of Munich Start-ups and has grown at warp speed into a trendsetting platform for global digital business and emerging technology entrepreneurs and savvy investors.
It is essentially "THE" place to be to learn and share knowledge, jam on ideas and make valuable connections... not to mention to take in some of the world class Munich "Gemütlichkeit" or "hospitality" and culture.
The Bits Factor
This year's festival program took place at Munich's International Congress Center ICM. The program featured a combination of key note speakers targeted to key markets, meaningful panel discussions, individual workshops and many networking opportunities, all set on multiple "stages" and in various formats.
Highly anticipated VIP Key Note Speakers including Kevin Spacey and Sir Richard Branson didn't disappoint and set a great tone for inspiration, motivation and building excitement for business movers and shakers.
Additionally, the more experienced attendees were able to connect, empathize and offer a hand up to newcomers with – early stage founders getting on stage as part of the new Start-up pitch competition. This is a just added Bitzs & Pretzels where young Start-ups vie for investors and audience support and awareness.
The Pretzel Factor
Bits & Pretzels started back in 2014 with a traditional Weisswurst and Brezn business breakfast at "Löwenbräukeller", one of Munich's well-known beer halls. To stay true to their roots, this year's organizers focused on a balanced festival program including sufficient time for more informal networking and knowledge sharing as well as business charged sessions.
The networking goal was reached by setting up a diversified 2-evening connection program. While attendees were brought together on the first night for a huge after-party at the "Praterinsel", an impressive event-venue that was a former liquor/spirits factory, the second night was filled with more intimate networking events spread all over the Bavarian capital.
Day 3, the crescendo of the program, combined local tradition with digital innovation by hosting more than 5,000 guests at the world famous Oktoberfest. A great "Isar Valley" get-together consisting of well-known investors, speakers and mentors serving as table captains and hosting small groups of entrepreneurs.
The innovative Bits & Pretzels business festival program 2016, organized by Startup Events UG, was a strong combination of professional knowledge transfer and social networking in an ideal destination. Its rapid and successful growth as an event sets new standards for the meetings and conventions business and proves once more the importance of global business exchange.
This year's attendees were highly satisfied with their individual ROIs from the festival and are already looking forward to new Bits & Pretzels in 2017 (Sept 24 – 26, 2017).
