April 11, 2012
By Jack Crittenden
Less than two weeks after closing on Doral Resort, Donald Trump is about to close on another golf course, this time in Charlotte, N.C.
Members of The Point Lake and Golf Club voted to sell their club to Trump for $3 million.
Trump plans to rename it Trump National Golf Club, Charlotte. He will assume liabilities spend millions to improve the Greg Norman-designed course, tennis courts and facilities.
The vote came after months of debate in the exclusive community. Homes at The Point currently sell for more than $1 million. Some opponents worried the deal would raise home prices so much that it would price them out of the neighborhood.
Others said the course and buildings needed upgrades and that Trump could make the club one of the region's best.
Trump started talking about buying The Point two years ago with then-operator Crescent Resources, which built the 900-lot community and the club. Crescent transferred ownership to community residents at the end of last year.
Crescent Resources built the community in the late 1990s and it has attracted NASCAR drivers, sports figures, medical professionals and executives from the nearby Lowe's Cos. headquarters. The median house size is 4,500 to 5,000 square feet, and the average lot size is an acre.
In 2006, the average home price was more than $1 million. With gray, Cape Cod-style buildings and streets named Easton and Moor's End, the community offers club facilities, a tavern, a general store, a cobbler, a village green and a meeting house connected by a cobblestone road. All homeowners must be club members and pay annual dues ranging from $2,100 to $6,600 in addition to initiation costs and other fees. More than 60 percent of club members hold an equity stake.

However, many reputable dating sites go to great lengths to maintain personal particulars personal and safe. Profile verification, discussion board moderators, and different security measures can help you keep protected while online dating.
QUESTION: I don't know what to say in my text message. Should you're worried about saying the correct thing, you continue to assume you must have a big, long dialog over text fdating. You don't. Just deal with going for the close and getting her out on a date. If she's fascinated with you, she'll say sure.
Simple Secrets Of Fdating – What's Needed
Speedy Plans For Fdating – An Introduction
Now I like white people and everybody loves Honey BooBoo and everyone knows they're all simply acting fats and silly to earn cash on a actuality show, however come on. You fdating may't subsist on that shit. My eyeballs get glandular tumors simply watching them ingest the hydrogenated preserved GMO vegetable oil 'butter' crap swimming in corn sweetened red 40 ketchup. I hope they do not really eat like that in real life.
Possible Story: She met a gringo on the primary Friday and he asked her to a espresso date or drink early Saturday night. There he told her to maintain the following Saturday free but eventually flaked on her. This means she's actively looking fdating for higher. Both you step up and supply more of her core needs (with out being needy about it of course), or you may say fuck it, get a couple extra bangs, and transfer onto one other lady.
They obtained this concept since they have been little girls, and so they were taught many other invaluable life classes as properly. Subsequently, they develop as much fdating as be mature women, even if they marry in their early 20s. Russian girls brides are thoughtful, form, but quick-witted and sharp. They have all the qualities males look for in an ideal wife.
Luck performs a major half to find your soulmate. Even should you had been born with a large capacity for love and you are able to quiet down, your excellent companion might fdating not be in the same location as you. You may need been born within the United States whereas your excellent lady might dwell in Russia. That is one thing that happens quite often. Geographical distance might separate two people excellent for one another.
Yet there is one thing we need to cowl and it's about why you shouldn't drink once you're on the first date. Now you might be considering why not? Consuming will loosen her up slightly bit, and make it simpler so that you can get her drunk and back to your house. However there's one slight problem that arises from this, as we will not neglect you'll also be drinking too. So while you may grow to be incredibly assured at smooth talking fdating, you may soon find yourself speaking about your finances, your ex, or some story about when your relative was rising up. She does not need to be the ear that listens to those sorts of things, nor do you want to have that kind of detrimental notion. And chances are high since your reading this; you are trying to determine the right way to make an excellent impression on a first date within the first place.
A small token of appreciation is at all times welcome. Give him a massage. Pamper him. He'll all the time return back for extra (if not, dump him, he is not value your time). But fdating significantly, most guys aren't romantic. You've got watched too many (bad) films. It is a dream.
In the event you text her more than two unanswered texts in a row, you severely danger blowing it fully. Instead, if she does it fdating com not reply the primary textual content, you are allowed yet another text (maybe an hour or a two later), and I will present you what this text ought to say in a second.

Conference round up!
14th December 2018
I have been attending quite a few conferences and workshops and events on behalf of the Cancer Innovation Challenge in the past few months so I thought I'd write up a quick summary of them (I am totally stealing this idea from IHDP's recent blog!).
I'll go back as far as 9 October when I visited Dunblane for the Realistic Medicine: Valuing People conference. It was very inspiring to hear about the efforts all over NHS Scotland to adopt the Realistic Medicine approach and building a more personalised approach to care.
And then there was the NCRI Conference at the beginning of November of course which you can read a wee bit about in a separate article.
I then attended the first in a series of three workshops organised by the Edinburgh Futures Institute and Usher Institute and facilitated by the International Futures Forum. The theme was Technology and Community Health and the workshop structured discussions around the three horizons model with a group of participants from a range of backgrounds. The discussions which ensued were fascinating and one of my key takeaways from the workshop was that we need to embrace technology in the widest sense and not just in hardware.
Next up was the National Test Bed Governance Group which I was very honoured to be invited to join. It was great to be able to update the group on the work of the Cancer Innovation Challenge and to hear about the efforts being made to encourage innovation and the adoption of these innovations in the healthcare sector.
Closing November off were two large events, the Digital Health & Social Care Conference and the Macmillan Transforming Care After Treatment (TCAT) Final Conference: What Matters to You Matters to Me. Both were great events and it is truly motivating to hear about all the great work going on in digital health and social care. The TCAT event was particularly moving to hear the stories of people making a difference to the lives of those living with cancer. One key theme across both events was the need for digital transformation and that digital transformation doesn't just mean digitising what was done before. Rethink, redesign, co-create and co-design were the key themes.
At the TCAT conference, I also got the chance to experience the brilliant installation from Empathy Museum called A Mile In My Shoes. It was a wonderful and poignant opportunity to listen to different lived perspectives ranging from clinicians, to patients and to carers.
And then we were into December and it started off with a workshop that I was very privileged to be invited to around cybersecurity in health data science, especially around industry-academia collaborations hosted by the Usher Institute and the MRC. This was an engaging and fun workshop using the Delphi thinkathon framework and I hope to update you in the near future with the outcomes.
And last but not least was an event in London on 11 December 2018 celebrating the work of the Understanding Patient Data project and looking forward to its next steps. Hosted in the fabulous Wellcome Trust building on Euston Road, it was great to on the work that Understanding Patient Data has done over the past few years and to look forward to what its next steps are. A key strength of their project was their focus on patient data and their independence. We have certainly appreciated the support and advice they have given us during our journey and we look forward to working with them in the future.
Phew, there were quite a few events. I am reassured and very excited by them as they made it clear that there is a lot of fantastic work going on in data and healthcare and we're delighted to have played a small role in it all.


text: September 3, 2018anfieldone After having been home for two weeks, it is time to travel again, this time to our house in Cumbria.We leave tomorrow, and will be staying for two weeks, of course we hope for good weather, as we are having here at home in the begining of September.September can be a lovely month with clear days, quite warm temperatures but cooler and darker evenings, but then the colours in nature start to turn into beautiful yellows, gold and brown.Heather blooms giving carpets of purple on the hills.We shall be travelling to my hometown Liverpool to see an exhibition in the World Museum of the Terracotta Warriors discovered some years ago in China when excavating, an entire army was discovered made of terracotta ,these were to protect the deceased Emperor of the time, this exhibition will be very special as it hasnt been seen anywhere outside China except in London a few years ago.We will have an overnight stay in Liverpool in order to be able to see other places of interest, we usually visit just for a day and it is too short a time to take in the many things this lovely City has to offer. On our return to Cumbria we will spent the weekend around Kendal,there is a market held every Wednesday and every Friday in the Market Square, there are always interesting stands to look at selling various foods, vegetables etc, there are always many people who travel from all sorts of places to see this market occasionally there is a farmers market and there you can see animals brought from farms around, sometimes calves and lambs depending on the season. A huge event is on the second Thursday in September, it is the Westmorland County Show held at Crookland not too far from Oxenholme where our house is situated, it really is a fantastic event visited annually by over 30,000 people travelling from all over the United Kingdom.There are many animlas shown and given prizes, there can be sheep, cows, bulls, alpackors, pigs, hens, then there are always lots of flowers, cakes, cheese, eggs, meats, which are on show and are given prizes for their quality presentation etc.Many firms exhibit their goods, ranging from farm machinery to wines, locally made beer, clothes, hats, shoes, boots everything imaginable, then of course there are many stalls selling hot food, these are always popular, as well as beer tents,, where one can stand for some time in a queue, but the wait is worth it. I am looking forward to this visit as the past visits this summer have been short, one week and then five nights, this fortnight will give us time to relax, and weather permitting, time to tidy in the garden and prepare it for the winter.Exactly what we did and saw I will tell later when we have arrived home again, after hopefully having had two lovely weeks away.

'Don't ever say you don't belong': Watch CM Punk's pep talk to Mickey Gall at UFC 203
UFC cameras capture the classy moment the defeated former WWE superstar gives Mickey Gall a motivational pep talk after their bout at UFC 203 in Cleveland
THE UFC's cameras are always rolling on fight night, and capture some golden moments that don't always make it onto the live broadcast.
One such moment came after Mickey Gall had submitted CM Punk at UFC 203, when the former WWE superstar gave the man who beat him a post-fight pep talk to encourage him not to undersell himself before fights.
Gall had said pre-fight that he didn't deserve to be on the UFC 203 fight poster, and those comments were clearly in Punk's mind when he grabbed the young prospect after their fight to pass on some advice.
"Listen to me," he told the young star. "Don't ever say you don't belong, OK?
"You always belong. You've got to believe in yourself.
"You're obviously a better man than I am, OK?
"Don't ever short yourself. Everybody else wants to short you.
"You know? I believed in myself. You've got to believe in yourself as much as I believe in me."
It was a classy way for Punk to finish what was ultimately a disappointing night on his mixed martial arts debut.
After the fight, Gall explained what happened when the pair chatted after the bout.
"I thought as MMA purists I thought the veterans should have been there (the poster). While this was kind of a strange fight - combined we had two fights at the time.
"He was just saying 'No, always believe you belong. You do belong'.
"He was just being a nice guy - being motivational.
"He's a superstar, he's a self-made guy. I absolutely believe he has something to offer and it was an honour to fight him."
The full version of the UFC's 'The Thrill and The Agony' review of UFC 203 will be available on UFC Fight Pass in the coming days.

Lagging a little behind the beta releases of iOS 11.4, tvOS 11.4, and watchOS 4.3.1, the first public beta of macOS High Sierra 10.13.5 was released by Apple today. A release exclusively for developers arrived last night.
Like the first iOS 11.4 beta, the initial 10.13.5 beta appears to restore support for Messages in iCloud, a feature that stores and instantly syncs the history of Messages apps used across multiple devices. The feature has intermittently appeared and disappeared in earlier iOS 11 betas since it was announced in June.
It's also possible that 10.13.5 will include support for AirPlay 2, Apple's updated audio and video streaming standard, which similarly reappeared in the iOS and tvOS 11.4 betas. AirPlay 2 promises to improve reliability of audio streaming between Apple devices, including the smart speaker HomePod, as well as enabling multiple HomePods to simultaneously perform together.
As a general statement, updating to Apple's first public betas of any given OS release can be risky, as they can be particularly unstable and energy-inefficient. We don't recommend updating to the beta release unless you're using a backed up, non-production Mac that you can afford to leave somewhat unstable, and need the new version for app testing or similar purposes.
The new macOS 10.13.5 public and developer betas can be downloaded for free from the Mac App Store's Updates tab. If you're not a developer, registration with Apple's Beta Software Program at the Apple Beta Software page is required to access the public beta version.

Info for Complices
Friends and frequent recital partners Jean-Guihen Queyras and Alexandre Tharaud are reunited here for an album conceived as a collection of short stories, presenting both celebrated and little-known masterpieces of the repertory. If the art of transcription is the hallmark of great performers, it must be said that our two partners are past masters at it! Throughout this lyrical yet virtuosic programme, music lovers will meet one surprise after another.
Jean-Guihen Queyras, cello
Alexandre Tharaud, piano
Jean-Guihen Queyras's
much awaited recording of Bach's complete solo suites was released last year and received immediate acclaim by the French press (Diapason d'Or and CD of the month in Diapason, CHOC du Monde de la Musique etc.), followed by the release of his Debussy-Poulenc CD with pianist Alexandre Tharaud, which was awarded the Diapason d'Or de l'Année in 2008. Previous CDs include Schubert's 'Arpeggione' alongside works by Berg and Webern (again with Alexandre Tharaud) (Gramophone 'Editor's Choice', BBC Music Magazine 'Chamber Music Choice', 'Strad Selection', Scherzo 'E' for Excepcional), Dvořák's cello concerto with the Prague Philharmonia under the baton of Jiří Bĕlohlávek (BBC Radio 3 CD of the week, November 2005) and Haydn and Monn's cello concertos performed on a period instrument with the Freiburger Barockorchester, praised in both The Independent on Sunday and the Saturday Telegraph as the definitive baroque version.
Jean-Guihen's extensive repertoire includes more recent works, which he performs internationally: he gave the world premieres of Ivan Fedele's cello concerto (Orchestre National de France, Leonard Slatkin) and Gilbert Amy's concerto (Tokyo Symphony Orchestra at Suntory Hall, Tokyo). He also premiered Bruno Mantovani's concerto with the Saarbrücken Radio Sinfonieorchester and Phillippe Schoeller's Wind's Eyes with the SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freiburg. The last three appear together on a CD for harmonia mundi.
His particular focus on repertoire for solo cello, which brilliantly demonstrates the exceptional narrative and expressive force of the monodic instrument, led him to devise and perform several series of concerts featuring the Suites by J.S Bach alongside contemporary works at the Triphony Hall in Tokyo and the Théâtre du Châtelet. He also commissioned six composers (Kurtag, Harvey, Mochizuki, Amy, Nodaïra & Fedele) to write an 'echo' to each of the six Bach Suites for solo cello, in a project called 'Six Suites, Six Echos', which he has performed in such prestigious venues as the Konzerthaus in Berlin, Hamburg's Musikhalle and the Cité de la Musique in Paris.
In 2008, Jean-Guihen made his BBC PROMS debut to unanimous acclaim (Haydn in C) and performed Britten's Symphony for cello and orchestra at the Aldeburgh Festival. He has been invited as a resident artist of the Muziekcentrum Vredenburg in Utrecht, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and De Bijloke in Gent. Regular chamber music partners include the pianists Alexander Melnikov and Alexandre Tharaud and the violinist Isabelle Faust. He is a member of the Arcanto Quartet with Tabea Zimmermann, Antje Weithaas and Daniel Sepec, and performs regularly with Zarb specialists Kevan and Bijan Chemirani.
His solo engagements with orchestras include the Philharmonia, Orchestre de Paris, Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, Tonhalle Zürich, Gewandhaus orchestra, Radio-Sinfoniorchester Saarbrücken, SWR Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart, SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden/Freiburg, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, Prague Philharmonia, Berlin Konzerhaus orchestra, Radiosinfonieorchester Wien, Orchestre de la Suisse-Romande, Münich Chamber Orchestra, Amsterdam Sinfonietta, DeFhilharmonie Antwerpens, Sao Paulo State Philharmonic Orchestra, Hallé and City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestras, BBC Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Heinz Holliger, Franz Brüggen, Günther Herbig, Günther Herbig, Gerd Albrecht, Ivan Fisher, Hans Graf, Philippe Herreweghe, Marek Janowski, Denis Russell Davies, Jiří Bělohlávek, Ed Gardner, David Stern, Leonard Slatkin, Olivier Knussen, Roger Norrington, Jean-Claude Casadesus, Muhaï Tang, John Neschling and Andras Ligeti. Jean-Guihen made his debut in the main hall at Carnegie Hall in New York with Concerto Köln in March 2004.
Jean-Guihen was the solo cellist of the Ensemble Intercontemporain, with whom he recorded the Ligeti Cello Concerto for Deutsche Grammophon, conducted by Pierre Boulez (Gramophone Contemporary Music Award). For harmonia mundi he also released Britten's suites for solo cello and a collection of Hungarian works by Kodaly, Kurtag and Veress, which was awarded a Diapason d'Or.

Did you know that this year is the 10th anniversary of the introduction of the Apple iPhone? In the last 10 years, the iPhone, along with each of the other iterations of smartphones, has revolutionized wireless communications and changed the way everyone thinks about their phone service—including their commercial phone service. Thanks to the iPhone we have a new, connected culture that has precipitated new work strategies and new ways that companies take advantage of what the smartphone has to offer as part of a larger commercial phone service.
U.S. adoption of smartphone technology has surpassed 80 percent with Apple's iPhone claiming 43.5 percent of the U.S. smartphone market—and iPhone sales continue to climb, up 6.4 percent at the close of 2016. In fact, Apple's iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Plus were the best-selling smartphones for the three months ending November 2016. The iPhone has changed the way we communicate by simplifying threaded exchanges using text. It also has put features such as GPS navigation in a simple-to-use mobile device, and it is the first device to have long-life battery that gives us a day or more of use on a single charge. It's also introduced other new concepts such as self-correcting text and the "selfie," but where the iPhone has had a profound impact is in business.
Smartphones Changed Business Communication
iPhones, Androids, and BlackBerries revolutionized the nature of business communication. Placing internet access in a handheld device untethered workers from their desks. Employees could be anywhere and stay in contact with the office, checking email and voicemail remotely using their smartphones. The boom in app development has enabled new business functionality as well. For example, employees can now access CRM data, financial records, and more remotely using smartphone apps. And employees can collaborate using their smartphones as well. Smartphones often not only have calling and conference calling capability, but also a built-in camera, making it possible to conduct video conferences via Facetime, Skype, or other mobile-friendly video sharing platforms.
Perhaps the most important change is the evolution of the "always on" culture. Users carry their smartphones with them everywhere so they can stay connected around the clock. In fact, U.S. smartphone users now spend more than five hours each day on their phones. Research shows that 36 percent of mobile customers use handheld devices to check email, and 34 percent use only their handhelds for email. App use accounts for 89 percent of mobile media time, and 11 percent of that time on smartphones is spent on websites.
With Americans' addiction to smartphone technology it's no wonder that their use has been adapted for the workplace.
A survey by Information Solutions Group for Syntonic revealed that 87 percent of employers count on their staff accessing business apps from their smartphones. About half of those surveyed said that they feel obliged to use their smartphones at work, and 23 percent said they feel compelled by employers to use their smartphones for business after hours as well. Gartner predicts that half of all companies will requires employees to use their own smartphones for work by the end of 2017.
The Perfect Business Communication Tool
Smartphones have a variety of features that are of immediate benefit to business users, such as:
- Access to CRM data – Customer and prospect data is always at your fingertips with iPhone-compatible customer relationship software.
- Scheduling – A smartphone can keep you on schedule with apps that sync with Outlook and Google calendars.
- Social media management – Stay connected and remain visible with mobile access to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms.
- Contact directory – A smartphone gives you a pocket address book that can hold comprehensive information about all your business contacts. It also can give you remote access to the company's database.
- Research on demand – You can check on business news or research a prospect or client using the web browser.
Of course, let's not forget the primary purpose for a smartphone, for use as a telephone. It is the perfect complement to any commercial phone service, especially Voice over IP (VoIP) systems. Since a smartphone is designed to handle digital transmissions, it is ideal for unified communication services such as video conferencing, file sharing, and unified messaging. Most VoIP commercial phone systems offer follow-me calling services, so incoming calls can be routed anywhere, including to your phone.
Considering the popularity of smartphones and the new desire to be constantly connected, more companies are standardizing on their use for business.
Thanks to smartphones, employees can be linked to the office at all times via telephone and email. And with the help of tools such as Spoke, smartphones can become an integral part of the commercial phone system.
The Spoke app brings all of the functionality of a commercial phone system to your smartphone. Spoke makes all your employees' smartphones business phone extensions, complete with voice attendants, voice mail, directory services with push to dial, team calling, live presence call routing, and more. It's the ultimate smartphone solution for your business phone system.
Clearly, smartphones have changed the way we look at business communication. Extending your BYOD strategy is an easy way to improve productivity and collaboration, and technology such as Spoke can make smartphones an integral part of your commercial phone system.

Linux on Chromebook
ula1781 Posts: 1
I just got linux for my samsung chromebook, I used Croutun with the interface xfce. However, when I turn off the device and turn it on I enter a factory reseted device and have to redo the whole process. I'm I doing something wrong or do I have to redo everything every single time?
saqman2060 Posts: 777I have never installed Linux on a chromebook. Never had a chromebook. Not yet however :-) Here are a few sites that demonstrates how to install Linux on a chromebook. Perhaps there is something in these tutorials that can help you.
Installing Linux in a chromebook using croutun
How to install ubuntu Linux on your chromebook
This might be interesting for you to read. I learned that if you enable OS verification(disabling developer mode), you will reset your chromebook erasing what you previously did.
Removing Crouton and Restoring Your Chromebook
"If you decide you're done with Linux, you can easily get rid of the scary boot screen and get your internal storage space back.
Just reboot your Chromebook normally to get back to the scary warning screen at boot-up. Follow the prompts on your screen (tap the Space bar and then press Enter) to disable Developer Mode. When you disable Developer Mode, your Chromebook will clean everything up, restoring you to a clean, safe locked-down Chrome OS system and overwriting all the changes you've made to your Chromebook's software." (HowToGeek)
Enable developer mode
"In order to install your own operating system on Chromebooks, you have to enable the developer mode. It's extremely easy to do and is very well documented by Google. The latest Chromebooks use a combination of keys to enter the developer mode, whereas older devices have a physical switch. Different devices have different locations for the switch, so please Google your device to find the location of the switch and flip it. If you are on the latest Chromebook then you can enable the developer mode by holding Esc + Refresh keys and then push the 'power' button. The recovery screen will show a scary warning. Just ignore it and let Chrome OS wipe your data. The process can take up to 15 minutes, so don't turn off your Chromebook.
Also keep in mind that once Chrome OS is reinstalled you will continue to see this warning every time you boot your system, as long as the developer mode is enabled. However, it won't wipe the data every time. You can simply hit Ctrl+d to quickly boot into Chrome OS (don't do it this time while Chrome OS is preparing your system for developer mode)."

HAF Denounces Destruction of Hindu and Buddhist Artifacts in Maldives
According to the museum director, Ali Waheed, 35 exhibits, or 99% of the museum's pre-Islamic artifacts from before the 12th century, were destroyed by a mob of suspected Islamic extremists. Most of the destroyed artifacts were images and representations of Hindu and Buddhist deities, some dating as far back as the 6th century.
"The barbaric destruction of these Hindu and Buddhist artifacts is shocking and reprehensible," said Samir Kalra, Esq., HAF's Director and Senior Fellow for Human Rights. "These types of incidents are unfortunately becoming increasingly common in Muslim majority countries, such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Malaysia, where there are systematic attempts to erase all signs of pre-Islamic religion and culture."
Maldives, a small island nation situated in the Indian Ocean, is best known as a high-end vacation destination attracting wealthy tourists from around the world. It is also a country where Islam is the official state religion, and its constitution prohibits the open practice or preaching of any religion other than Islam. The constitution further restricts citizenship to only Muslims and requires all laws to be in conformity with the principles of Islam. Prior to the 12th century, however, the majority of Maldives' inhabitants were Hindu and Buddhist.
Maldives has recently been racked by political unrest culminating in President Mohammed Nasheed's removal from office last week. Media reports indicate that Nasheed's Islamic credentials have come under fire from political opponents and that Islamist activists, who are demanding the government implement stricter Islamic policies, may have played a role in his ouster.
"The attack is yet another example of the growing religious intolerance and Islamic fundamentalism plaguing Maldivian society, " said Ramesh Rao, PhD, HAF's Human Rights Coordinator. "The international community has a responsibility to protect religious freedom in Maldives and prevent it from becoming Talibanized."

When Senators Run the Show
A Los Angeles-area attorney, Smith, 64, has specialized for nearly four decades in real estate transactions--a specialty that has little bearing on the questions that occupy federal courts. In his one term as a member of a state antidiscrimination commission, he "distinguished himself" by "his time-management skills," says one of his supporters. He recently explained his decision to step down from the commission by implying disdain for his fellow party members: "I'm a Republican, but I'm a Republican with a heart."...
Consider also David L. Bunning, whom President Bush nominated to a federal district judgeship in 2001. Thirty-five years old when he was nominated, Bunning had been a lawyer for only ten years. Citing his "very limited and shallow" experience with civil cases, his not "particularly challenging" criminal caseload as a federal prosecutor, his unimpressive writing, and his middling academic record, the ABA rated Bunning "not qualified" for a judgeship. Whether or not one credits the ABA rating--a minority of the committee did find Bunning "qualified"--it would be difficult to argue that Bunning was prime judgeship material.Bunning was easily confirmed to his judgeship with no resistance from the Senate Democrats. Smith is on the fast track to getting his seat too. Why?
The answer may surprise you, but it shouldn't if you've been paying attention to the politics of judges in the past few years.
For the key facts driving Smith's candidacy are that Barbara Boxer, the ultraliberal senator from California, recommended his nomination and that Smith is the brother of Oregon's Republican senator Gordon Smith. His brother and Boxer, Milan Smith says, "are very good friends." As for Bunning, the district judgeship that he now occupies is in Kentucky, the home state of Republican senator Jim Bunning, who, not coincidentally, is his father.Whenever someone refers to the Senate as "the world's greatest deliberative body", I can't help but laugh. Whelan's article goes on to explain in detail how Senators control large aspects of the judicial nomination and confirmation process.
I have nothing against Smith or Bunning. They might become excellent judges. However, it's impossible to say with a straight face that they are top legal minds. They got their judgeships because of who they are and who they know. Isn't it odd that these judges are not the "controversial" ones? The ruckus over judges during the past few years centered on the overly qualified candidates. People like Miguel Estrada, Terrence Boyle, William Pryor (eventually confirmed), and Brett Kavanaugh were blocked by Senate Democrats. Their resumes are a little deeper than real estate practice and a light federal docket.
Brilliant, skilled judges are dangerous for the Democrats for many reasons, like when a vacancy develops on the Supreme Court. Someone needs to light a fire under Senator Specter's chair and get him to get these worthy judges confirmed.

The 'critical defect' refers to a size (e.g. diameter of hole) of missing bone tissue beyond which the bone will not regrow. In situations of traumatic injury, damaging bone beyond this size can make healing impossible unless tissue engineering is applied. Recently, researchers at University of Pittsburgh and Southwest Jiaotong University (China) used PLGA (PolyVivo AP020) from PolySciTech (www.polyscitech.com) to create PLGA-Mg scaffolds for bone-tissue repair. This research holds promise for treating traumatic wounds. Read more: Chen, Yingqi, Sang‐Ho Ye, Hideyoshi Sato, Yang Zhu, Vesselin Shanov, Tarannum Tiasha, Antonio D'Amore, Samuel Luketich, Guojiang Wan, and William R. Wagner. "Hybrid scaffolds of Mg alloy mesh reinforced polymer/extracellular matrix composite for critical‐sized calvarial defect reconstruction." Journal of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (2018). https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/term.2668
"Abstract: The challenge of developing scaffolds to reconstruct critical‐sized calvarial defects without the addition of high levels of exogenous growth factor remains relevant. Both osteogenic regenerative efficacy as well as suitable mechanical properties for the temporary scaffold system are of importance. In this study, a Mg alloy mesh reinforced polymer/demineralized bone matrix (DBM) hybrid scaffold was designed where the hybrid scaffold was fabricated by a concurrent electrospinning/electrospraying of poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic) (PLGA) polymer and DBM suspended in hyaluronic acid (HA). The Mg alloy mesh significantly increased the flexural strength and modulus of PLGA/DBM hybrid scaffold. In vitro results demonstrated that the Mg alloy mesh reinforced PLGA/DBM hybrid scaffold (Mg‐PLGA@HA&DBM) exhibited a stronger ability to promote the proliferation of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) and induce BMSC osteogenic differentiation compared to control scaffolding materials lacking critical components. In vivo osteogenesis studies were performed in a rat critical‐sized calvarial defect model and incorporated a variety of histological stains and immunohistochemical staining of osteocalcin. At 12 weeks, the rat model data showed that the degree of bone repair for the Mg‐PLGA@HA&DBM scaffold was significantly greater than for those scaffolds lacking one or more of the principal components. While complete defect filling was not achieved, the improved mechanical properties, promotion of BMSC proliferation and induction of BMSC osteogenic differentiation, and improved promotion of bone repair in the rat critical‐sized calvarial defect model make Mg alloy mesh reinforced PLGA/DBM hybrid scaffold an attractive option for the repair of critical‐sized bone defects where the addition of exogenous isolated growth factors is not employed."

Men and women over the age of 50 are at risk of developing colon cancer. Screening for colon cancer saves lives and most insurance will cover these screenings at no extra cost to you. A screening is a process that looks for cancer in people who have no symptoms of the disease.
There are two types of tests that can identify colorectal cancer. The first type mainly finds cancer by examining feces for signs that cancer is present. This type of test is easier, but less likely to find polyps. The second type of test can find cancer and polyps. This is a more invasive type of test that looks at the colon to find abnormalities.
FIT Testing
Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) detects hidden blood in stools. It is about 98% effective in finding disease if it is present. FIT testing is less invasive than a colonoscopy, but it is less likely to detect polyps.
Most people like this test because there are no dietary restrictions or bowel preparations to get ready for the test. If the results are positive for hidden blood, a colonoscopy will be needed for follow-up.
The FIT test should be done every year so that your doctor can compare results from year to year.
A colonoscopy is an outpatient procedure in which a lighted tube with a video camera on the end looks at the entire length of the colon and rectum. Special tools can be inserted through the tube to take samples or remove suspicious looking areas like polyps if needed. Polyps found before they become cancerous can be removed, so a colonoscopy can help prevent colon cancer. A colonoscopy is recommended starting at age 50 and every ten years after that. If you have certain risk factors, more frequent tests may be needed.
Before the Test:
Make sure your doctor knows about any medications that you are taking. At times, there may need to be changes in medication before your colonoscopy. Your colon and rectum must be empty before the test so that the doctor can have a clear view. Usually, this involves taking a laxative the night before your procedure. Your doctor may have other instructions about approved foods and drinks in the days leading up to your procedure. Keep in mind that a sedative will be used during the test, so be sure to have someone that will be able to drive you home after you are finished.
During the Test:
A colonoscopy lasts about thirty minutes, but it could last longer if a polyp is found and needs to be removed. Before the procedure begins, you will be given a sedative to make you feel calm and relaxed. The sedative will make you unaware of what is happening. Even after you wake up, you will still be groggy and will likely feel that way for most of the day.
During the test, you will be on your side. Your vital signs will be monitored throughout and after the screening. The doctor will insert the colonoscope and have a look around with the tiny camera. If a small polyp is found, it will likely be removed. If a larger polyp is found, a biopsy may be done. Any polyp or biopsy that is taken out will be examined under a microscope to determine if there is any cancer or signs of inflammation.
Side Effects or Complications:
Emptying the bowels before the test can be unpleasant, but it is necessary for the doctor to see clearly. The sedative makes the procedure pain free, although you may feel groggy for a while afterward. Because of the way the procedure is performed, you may feel bloated or gassy for a while afterward.
If a polyp or biopsy is taken, you may notice blood in your stool for a couple of days. If there is significant bleeding, which is rare, further treatment is needed.
A colonoscopy is a safe procedure that is done several times a week. On rare occasions, the colonoscope can perforate the lining of the colon or rectum. This is serious and may require surgical attention. Talk to your doctor about the risk.
Why Should I Get Screening?
Being proactive about your health can save your life. Screening and early detection of abnormalities can prevent serious illness or disease. Regular screening and testing is one of the most powerful ways you can prevent colorectal cancer or find it early when it is easier to treat.
Nine out of ten people who have cancer that is found early will still be alive five years later.
Too often, people do not get these screening tests. If abnormalities are not discovered, cancer can spread. Most people do not have symptoms of cancer until it is in the advanced stages and it's much harder to treat.
Early detection is the best protection. Ask your doctor about the best screening plan for you.

New housing starts rose by 1% to just over 40,000 in the second quarter of 2016/17, official government figures published today reveal.
The government's new housing statistics show 40,070 starts in the three months to September and 39,250 completions. This marks a 1% and 5% rise respectively on the same period in 2016.
It shows overall supply of 166,100 starts and 154,220 completions in the year to September.
Starts are now 134% above the trough at the nadir of the recession in March 2009 but remain 18% below the pre-crash peak in March 2007.
The government's quarterly housing statistics are understood to be a substantial underestimate of overall housing supply and are treated with caution by experts.
The overall annual figure for net additions is seen as more authoritative but is only published once annually, six months after the end of the financial year it covers.
The figures for 2016/17, published last month, showed overall supply at 217,350 with new build homes contributing 183,570.
The underestimate in the quarterly figures is understood to be mainly to be based on a lack of figures from homes registered with warranty providers other than the National House Building Council.
Today's figures said housing associations started 5,460 new homes and completed 7,100 – figures which do not include some private homes built by the sector and many of those purchased through Section 106 agreements.
The National Housing Federation produces its own series of housing association supply statistics, which showed 9,592 starts by its members for the same period.

Avoid Speaking in Absolutes
"Nobody likes me, everybody hates me. I think I'll go eat worms." Years ago, the old nursery rhyme above was sometimes used as a teaching moment for a child who was over-reacting to a personal situation. An argument with a best friend or not being selected for a team caused them to generalize or to make the situation seem worse than it was. Using an example that most children found humorous, the rhyme highlighted the exaggeration, and helped the child put things in better ... Read more

The Croatian international scored his first goal for the Rossoneri in their 2-1 win over Crotone on Sunday, and has gradually started to work his way into Vincenzo Montella's plans.
While he will now hope to build on his performance at the weekend and keep his place in the side, his agent has cast doubt over whether or not his long-term future lies with Chelsea.
"He's going through a good period thanks to Montella who has given him confidence," his agent Marko Naletilic told MilanNews.
"Will he stay permanently? Right now we won't talk about it, we'll see what happens, right now it's important for him to play well and help the team.
"I'll tell you that he's in love with Milan, so that should let you know what Pasalic wants. Clearly he's aware of what Milan means in the history of world football."
Given that there is a long way to go this season and that much will depend on whether or not Pasalic can stay in Montella's plans, it's too early to suggest that a return to Chelsea should be ruled out.
Nevertheless, there's no denying that if the 21-year-old is given regular playing time in Milan, it could sway his decision to push for a more permanent move to the San Siro if Antonio Conte is unable to offer the same assurances.
With Mati Fernandez out with an injury and Andrea Bertolacci returning from his own setback just this past weekend, there is an opportunity for Pasalic to place himself near the top of the pecking order.
Time will tell if both he and Milan wish to convert his temporary spell into a permanent one, while Chelsea will undoubtedly have their say too if they're left impressed with his form.

By WK Editorial Staff
A comprehensive review showed the agency's ethics program complies with all applicable ethics requirements, but the report did call for gaps in the Board's recusal protocol to be filled, among other recommendations.
The NLRB released the result of its 18-month review of its own ethics recusal program, the Board announced on Tuesday, November 19. The review included consultation with the Office of Government Ethics and benchmarking with other federal agencies. The result, the Ethics Recusal Report issued by NLRB Chairman John F. Ring, concluded that the agency's ethics program for Board member recusals "is strong and fully compliant with all applicable government ethics requirements."
Strong protections; potential gaps. The NLRB's current practices for identifying conflicts, establishing screening procedures, and obtaining advice from the Designated Agency Ethics Official "provide strong protections against conflicts of interest in the Board's adjudicative and rulemaking responsibilities," according to the review's findings. However, the Board identified potential gaps and other areas for improvement and has approved changes to address them.
The impetus for the comprehensive review was an internal agency dust-up following the Board's issuance in December 2017 of Hy-Brand Industrial Contractors, Ltd., a full panel decision that purported to overturn the agency's controversial Browning Ferris Industries of California, Inc., opinion. (That controversial Obama-era decision had outlined a new, more employee-friendly standard for determining whether an entity is a joint employer under the NLRA, and the more business-minded Trump NLRB was eager to undo it.).
However, the NLRB inspector general concluded that Board Member William Emanuel should have recused himself from participating in the Hy-Brand case because his former law firm had represented a party in the Browning-Ferris litigation. In the NLRB inspector general's view, Hy-Brand was essentially a "do-over" for the Browning-Ferris parties. Accordingly, under the ethics pledge found in President Trump's Executive Order 13770 (Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Appointees), Emanuel should not have participated in the Hy-Brand decision. Consequently, Hy-Brand was vacated, and Browning-Ferris was restored as Board law.
According to a fact sheet accompanying the report, the review "established that the Agency's ethics program for Board member recusals is strong, fully compliant with all applicable government ethics requirements and merits the full confidence of the Agency's stakeholders."
New procedures. As a result of the review conducted by the Board and based on the findings from that Review, the Board has directed the implementation of the following new procedures to ensure its full compliance with all ethics and recusal obligations:
|Solicitor's Office to develop, for Board approval, a process by which all parties appearing before the Agency will be required to file an Organizational Disclosure Statement at the outset of a matter. This action is in process.
|ES Office to develop, for Board approval, a new protocol for public disclosure of Ethics Office Board member recusal lists. This action is in process.
|ES Office to develop, for Board approval, a new protocol for Board member sign off of all revisions made to the member's own recusal list. This action is in process.
|Acknowledgement of the DAEO's "red flags" checklist identifying atypical situations in which conflicts could arise; Ethics Office to incorporate the checklist into Board member and staff ethics training. This action is in process, and the checklist will be updated as appropriate.
|Solicitor's Office to develop, for Board approval, procedures for handling recusal motions consistent with the Board's past practice of allowing individual Board members to determine their own recusal motions, with DAEO guidance. This action is in process.
|Develop and implement Board member recusal protocol. This protocol has been developed and implemented by the Board (see Appendix 3).
McFerran's approach. Member Lauren McFerran wrote separately to note the circumstances under which the Chairman's review was undertaken which, she said, "reflects the work of Agency staff under the supervision and direction of the Chairman. Along with the other Board members, I have been regularly apprised of the progress of that work. I acknowledge and appreciate the time and the effort reflected in the Report and the work done by staff in this initiative. Its subject matter is vitally important."
She further noted that the Board was asked to vote on six specific "Action Items" that emerged from the report; McFerran voted to approve three of these recommendations. She separately commented on the following issues, among others:
- The Board and its members should adopt no policy or practice that undermines the independence or integrity of the Designated Agency Ethics Official or the Inspector General.
- No Board member is entitled under the National Labor Relations Act to participate in a decision where that participation would violate a law, regulation, or executive order binding on the member.
- Individual Board members and the Board as a body should defer to disqualification determinations made by the DAEO. The Board should accordingly adopt a rule providing that the Board as a body will prohibit a member who has been disqualified by the DAEO from participating in a matter.
- The Board should disqualify a member if the member's participation would be contrary to a disqualification determination made by the DAEO or if participation would be a clear violation of applicable ethical standards, including the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch and the ethical standards or rules that a federal court might apply on review of the Board's decision.
Significant undertaking. "This was a significant undertaking that the Board took very seriously because ensuring the highest ethical standards is one of the most important things we do," Ring said. "Unless those who rely on the Board can have complete confidence in its fairness, impartiality, and integrity, we are not doing our job."
A full copy of the report, which includes a letter from Chairman Ring, a statement from Member Lauren McFerran, and the Report's related appendices, is available here.

Find your motivation
Happy Friday! I'm getting ready for my 12th half marathon this weekend. The training plan called for an easy 3 miles today so I did that after going to Group Power at 5AM! My biggest motivation for getting up at 5AM to work out is really not having to do it in the afternoon! I've been trying to talk to blog readers about their struggles with weight loss and lifestyle change and motivation keeps coming up. Most of the e-mails I get about the weight loss are about my motivation to lose weight and how I stuck with it. Willie… View Post

It looks like Doyeah have another winner on their hands with this model! The fabric is amazingly soft, silky and stretchy - it reminds me of the ComfiLon 599's in that respect - and they are very comfortable to wear. The open crotch takes some getting used to - I'm not used to putting my tights on first, and then my underwear! It is more convenient for bathroom visits though, and gives some access for fresh air to get to the er, equipment! The tights are sheer-to-waist, with just a small area of reinforcement around the (flat) seams, and the toes have an almost invisibly reinforced area too. The colours are good, but the Beige and Tan are very close to each other, the latter being just a shade darker; not as dark as ComfiLon's Tan for example, plus the Grey is very nice, and also proving popular.
I would slightly question the use of the term 'Support' though; they don't provide much in that department, but that aside, they are an excellent product at an almost give-away price. Highly recommended!
